The time of the year when fireworks spark so brightly in the midnight sky :)

My 156th post this year.
(It's a break through LOL)
Also my last post of the year.
So i think i better end it with a more 'positive' one. hmm
Okay, that's a lol. xD

Anyway, what more to say.
2010 was a roller coaster ride, but thank God, I survived ;)
So it's still good.
Haha it had its ups and downs.
The most horrible memory in between but yet the best that i can ever remember too.
This year i was quite emotional for some period of time. (as you can see. DUHHHH lol)
But i have to say this again.
"Never regret loving someone, it's them who made you who you are today, it's them who gave you the experience of falling and to stand up and continue your journey once again." :)

And thank God too, once again, for getting me through it.
With soooooooo many incredible friends around.
Cheers guys!
I never regret knowing you guys! ;D

This year's new year's eve i'm not going out with my friends.
But instead ima stay at home with my family.
Isn't it better to just stay at home with your family, watching tvbs comfortably while your aircond is switched on with all the performances in Taipei and waiting for the awesome firework show there later rather than to go out and squeeze with the crowds, in the rainy night, on muddy field? :D i'm just saying.

Anyway, it's really time to say goodbye to you my dear 2010.
You gave me a lot A LOT of new experiences this year.
No matter it's a happy one or the other way round, i'll appreciate it.
Hope 2011 will be a even better one!

Happy new year in advance peeps!
Love y'all and God bless! =)

Goodbye 2010. Hello 2011! :DDD

p/s: A just for laugh for you guys:
"Tonight i'm gonna sleep until next year!" :D

Lawrence,
signing out. :)

Does he love you the way I can

Did you forget all the plans that you made with me
Cause baby I didn't.

Let me be emo just once in a while okay? :)

Eat, Pray, Love

Like i said before.
I rarely recommend movies on my blog,
so if you see one like this right here now then i guess you won't need me tell you why :)

Eat, Pray, Love.

Originally it was a book(a memoir) written by American author Elizabeth Gilbert, then now directed into a movie.
The memoir's about the author's trip around the world after her divorce and what she discovered during her travels.
The book even remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 187 WEEKS.

****************************

Here's a few nice phrases quoted from Elizabeth Gilbert in her book.
See if they can attract you to venture into this movie more :)

"This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something. "


"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life."


"Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend."


"Look for God. Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water."


"Someday you’re gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You’ll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing and you were in the best possible place in the world for it – in a beautiful place of worship, surrounded by grace. Take this time, every minute of it. Let things work themselves out here in India.”


"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master.."

*****************************

And so many more nice and meaningful quotes inside the movie.
That teaches you how to appreciate life and everything around you even more.
Interesting events happening, interesting people,
and even a part that teaches you a few Italian language haha
And sometimes romantic and even funny at parts, especially Ketut! xD

A movie that really inspires! :)

Trust me, you'll love it ;)
you'll know why i asked you to watch. if you see how similar are you to the girl inside this movie my dear.

加油！ 我挺你！

刚开始听就觉得只是普普通通,
一首好听的歌.
但最近越听就越觉得好听.
一想到华文歌曲就不知觉地想起这首歌,
一点都不夸张啊 哈哈
(很像还卡在脑海中了 xD)
而且何止好听 还很有激励性wei! :)



最近你好吗 少了一点微笑
说的话有点少
最近我也不好 全世界都在逆转
人开始反向思考

发现你爱的人到处跑
昨晚刚升职 今天被炒
莫名其妙 谁会知道
是不是上天开的玩笑
地震时 你想和谁拥抱
什么是生命中的美好
轻易放掉 却不知道
幸福就在下一个转角

说一声加油 一切更美好
所有的悲伤 请往边靠
曾经流过的泪 湿了伤口
就让阳光晒干而褪
这一种加油 人人都需要
手牵手我们一起赛跑
说好不见不散
每分每秒守候你到老

Rap:
The beat goes on 时间它一直走
就像是Life goes on 这过程或许痛
不管顺流或逆流 你总得抬起头
让我们一起走 走过艰难和困惑

关关是难关 但我们关关过
雨后天晴的阳光在天空闪闪
出现了彩虹 忽然间我们才懂
如果这是一场马拉松
那我们一起加油

Definitely one of my favorite Chinese songs of all time. =)
(shit too long didn't write in chinese ady LOL)

We can have lunch and eat some cucumber :)

Nawwww.
Another sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet song.
Enjoy :)

Departing.

This time you're really leaving.
Before this we are like 'destined' together LOL (of coz, that's before college), from primary school till secondary school, we were always in the same class, sitting side by side.
Chatting, bullying, joking, laughing, crapping, doing all kinds of shits together.
But now you're flying over to Aussie.
Just look at how fast time flies.
So long, yet so soon.
8 years of classmates, best friends, best buddies, a brother in heart.

But i can't stop you from boarding that plane.
Dude that's just not logic! HAHA
So all i can do is to wish you the best in everything you do when you're there.
And God bless you!

And also, thank you for being in my life.
I really appreciate you as my friend,
And i'm proud to say that,
You're my BESTEST BEST friend.
I'm sure our friendship will always be there,
Unaffected by distance no matter how far you are :D

Do take good care of yourself.
Excel in your studies and join an awesome church there.
And also, the next time when i see you, i hope to see you holding a GIRL's hand liao ahhhh (or have you already?) XD

And like what Ah Kiet said, "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before we can meet again."
Goodbye my friend, enjoy your whole new life over there.
We will definitely miss you.

See you again Timothy Ngu and, that's a must! :)

p/s: In case you didn't notice.
I changed my style of typing, i mean the paragraphs.
Do leave comments about the new style.
Issit better the original?
Coz i found other bloggers typing like this made me read even more smoothly.
How bout you? :)

Lightning don't strike the same place twice.

The duet with Ne-Yo is simply beautiful.

Especially the final part. :')

Never regret loving someone in the past,
because they made you who you are today.

you're beautiful :)

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top

of the tree.

are you really the one?

just look at how fast you fly time

Time flies, it really does. :(

It still feels like yesterday that i just came here to this foreign land actually five months ago but this week is already the last week i'll be in school for this sem.

How many things that i've learned and experienced here
How many new friends that i've got to know here
How much i've grown
How long have i not being home.

Oh Penang! :D

Yeah bout the post i promised you guys earlier- My trip to Penang. (cannot be lazy anymore :P)

*********************************************

So Friday noon after class we went to Penang by bus. Actually i organised this trip, i mean i started this idea. And there were four of us that went there, Me, Shi Hao, Ernest and Wilson. (we're staying at Wilson's house :D) the bus departed on 4pm and we reached Penang at around 9pm.

Wilson's dad came to fetch us and went for food hunting. We already had so much food on the first night HAHA like curry mee, hokkien ha mee, assam laksa, char kueh gan and char kueh tiao. :D (and also want to thank Wilson's dad for being so generous to treat us EVERY meal we had there, at first i still thought he's only paying for our meal on the first night but who knows turns out he paid for us for the whole trip. I'm so grateful, really. :)

Then back at his apartment at Batu Ferringhi(his second house), the three of us, me, ernest and shi hao slept in a room. haha the first night the air cond was not functioning so we had to sleep without fan or air cond but what to whine, it's very good already there's a bed for us to sleep on hehe

That night we didn't went out for dinner because wilson's relatives came and we had our own BBQ at his house on the balcony haha felt so paiseh 'cause basically we're just waiting for the food coz they did all the BBQ thing and we were like sitting there and just wait for the food to be ready :P

So after that we have to say bye bye to Penang. Wilson's dad fetched us to the bus terminal and we boarded the bus after saying thank you to him. Really grateful that he's willing to spend his weekend and bring us on a 'tour' around Penang :D (.. still i'm grateful haha) The bus departed at 1pm and reached KL at around 5.30pm (lol 30 mins faster)

a song i heard during prom last week. a live band performed it after the announcement of prom king and queen and when the dance floor was opened for dancing. it's just lovely.

I'm in love. I'm terrified.

once upon a time

23rd June 2009.
i still miss the time i'll pat your head in class, throw paper bits or white chalks from behind and everything else that matters. the time we're still so close to each other. the time we're still so happy.
haih. 中学时光. 过往云烟
