searching for the lives

" 8.8 magnitude quake rocks Chile. Lives shattered, destroyed. Triggered a world-wide tsunami alert. " - News.com.au

After 3.5 hours drive, I am home. Newspapers and news websites have been reporting quakes and aftershocks of Chile. Not something Chinese would like it to happen on Chap Goh Meh ( Last day of Chinese New Year). God bless Chileans. God bless all victims.

Spend my weekend in Resort World Sentosa, Singapore. Newly opened. Casino. Gamblers. Win or lose. That's about it. Universal Studio is not welcoming yet.chanel handbags Many shops still not doing business. Only one suitable is Victoria's Secret. Workers are clueless and unhelpful. Management is still in a mess. Give them some times to improve and get settled, Papa told me. Sigh.

your colour are different from mine

Dear Blog-readers ♥

This is again an advance post. I am having weekend getaway with family. Where? Singapore. My third visit. Sister's first. Everything would be great.

One day, as I am blog-hopping, I came across a page titled "I Would Never Be Friends With A Black Person". It caught my attention. What a racist statement, I thought. Clicked in to read.

As a Malaysian, we learn to live with different races from very young age. Despite categorizing I am Chinese, you are Malay, he is Indian, we call ourselves Malaysian. Sure there are times we gossip and complaining about each others races characteristic and all, but never made such strong comment.

I met a few adorable black person in Melbourne. Okay. Cut it. It feels weird to label them as "black person". They are my friends, from Kenya, chanel handbags Nigeria and Zimbabwe. They treat me well and care for me just like how the others do. So, lets don't be a judgmental jerk. No race are superior. You are the one people valued, not your skin colour. Sometimes, its good to be colour blind.

junior high, six years later

Good day, my fellow blog-readers.

To many of Catholic-ans, my last existence should be 2003. Form 3. Then, I dropped off and enrolled to be KDU-ians. Haven't been up for any lunches, dinners with them for six years. Such a lousy friends I am.

To be a better friend, I sort of organized a gathering for us. Sent invitations through facebook events application. Sorry for not calling and all, but I don't have contacts. Then, date set; Thursday night. Avenue set; Mc Donald, Center Point. Time; 8.30-11pm.

I was excited and nervous to meet many of them. According to FB's response, I would be able to louis vuitton handbags meet few of my playful buddies back in school. However, some of them didn't show up. Miscommunication. Few didn't even bother to make a phone call. Disappoint me a little. But, its alright. I am happy with what I've got.

After that, Houi Yun, Weil Xuan, Mei Kwan and Jee Heng followed me home to bai nian. We'd had fun gossiping our junior schoolmates and posing for camera. Just like the good old days.

efficiency is the lesson they never learn

Good day readers.

Curled up in front of my desk waiting for Papa's phone call. Have to accompany Mama and be her driver. If not for her, I'll be doing manicure and pedicure with Kumo-chan. Bad timing.

Woke up early to get my new passport at the immigration. Waited for an hour. The department should really do something about efficiency.

I spend my Tuesday sending in application and waiting to pay for the services. Yes, I waited for 1.5hours to pay. louis vuitton handbags Pandai-ly asked the "juruwang" if I can pay first but she was very impatient and rudely told me off.

Anyway, I renewed my passport. The new one appearance is better. Although my portrait still look like Indonesian/Filipinos despite attaching two good looking photo.

I should be taking a nap at this very moment. Dark circles around my eyes are glowing. Mama is going to murmur about it.

With love and compassion,

12 days to Melbourne

Dear Readers ♥

I have been a good blogger. Updating almost everyday. Usual bubbles but its what I've been living. Simple life. Many may think its dull. But I am enjoying it, very much.

12 days to new semester in Melbourne. Four months of holiday are simply too much. I miss lecture and tutorials. I miss my life in Melbourne. chanel handbags Where I prepare lunch/dinner, weekly laundry and spring clean, gym, swim and yoga sessions.

Few CNY's shots:
Just the four of us. Simon! Come back~

With the boyfriend. Heart his baby blue Burberry.

Last but not least, the big photo of the day.

happy birthday, human

Dear Readers ♥

Today is the seventh day of chinese new year, its what we called "人日" - human's day. So, happy birthday to you, human. Traditionally, papa and mama's company dinner. And selected relatives and workers attended

I am in a dilemma.

Psychology or Law? Uncle sam gave adviced. "If you like fighting for someone, choose law; if you enjoy comforting and advising, chanel handbags pick psychology." Easy as that. Don't think of them as subject to be choose. Take it as what is you, which represents yourself.

Will think about it.

tanah airku

Dear Readers ♥

I am back in my tanah air.

Always feel good to be home. Especially when you know that you have an awesome family.

First night back, we had home cook food. Papa did the cooking. We all love Papa's food. chanel handbags All smiley face around me for dinner. Then gossiped at the couch. Its happier than doing it with my bff.

Internet speed of the p1max. Still slow and frustrating. Damn. I want my streamyx back! Anyway, expect less or perhaps zero photo for at least two weeks.

Dear Readers ♥

Exhausted.

Writing down things to do to buy as I am leaving this place in 24 hours. Flying back to my home country =]

Anyhow, yesterday was fun. So active, so energetic.

Played "liar dice" with friends on Tuesday night, and got home and fell on bed around 3 am. Then, woke up next morning at 9am and rush for our 10am date. Ping pong and badminton for 4 hours, straight.

Taking turns to "fight"

although boyfriend and i are tired
but we still look awesome =]


00:08 16 february
we surprised billy
and his mother who apparently totally forgot about it

but this is tracy the girlfriend's idea

forever young

Dear Readers ♥

Hong Kong weather is crazy. These days, it remains below 10degrees. Humidity above 90%. And its raining almost 20 hours a day. Now, I miss sweating in Malaysia. At least I can hide in my air conditioned room.

Dark circle occupied my puffy eye. Sigh. Its time to sleep before 11pm. So unhealthy.chanel handbags I don't need naps during the day. All I need is beauty sleep after 10.30pm for at 8 hours. Easy, but hard to achieve.

Anyway, let this post end here with my pick of a daily photo.









Somewhat like vending machine. They look cute to me.

yesterday

Dear Readers ♥

The following are backdated.

I am back from China on Friday noon. Physically exhausted. Holiday with travel agent is definitely not relaxing. 6.30am morning call for five days aren't funny at all. But the positive part is the assurance on itinerary.

Oh, and I am not going to upload pictures here. To wait for the 400 of them to be uploaded?
Hearing it scares me already. So, bad news for you readers who are longing for eye candies. But you can flip through half of them (selected and filtered ones), only if your name is in my Facebook. I guess its not so bad after all.

Weekends.

What a coincidence, Chinese new year and Valentines day falling together.

I valued this two special day. And I do believe family should be together on c.n.y. However, this year, regrets filled me up. louis vuitton handbags I failed, as a child to be absent in reunion dinner. BUT this would be the only time i missed. I promise you

If you found the true love of your life, everyday would be your valentines day. Fish leong's sang this. Perhaps its true. Only if you have faith on your other half, it wouldn't be the same if you don't believe

But don't be silly to skip celebrating it. You ought to pamper yourself a little. V-day is definitely a perfect excuse to everything.

I celebrate valentines day with love. Not only toward my boyfriend
but everyone. As yoga taught me, to have a heart with love and compassion. Its harder than i ever expect, yet it is not impossible

last night, boyfriend and i took mtr to mong kok. its been more than a year if going with jack and josephine for dinner doesn't count. and i got a feeling, i might go there once before heading back to malaysia. met up with 3y and billy, then samson. ka lok joined us later. they are all friendly and nice to me. first impression is good. even promise to have a bbq night before we leave.

tomorrow is boyfriend's birthday. planned to go macao again. with kammy.

little days little pics

here are my little updates with pictures. bought a world map puzzle on monday, 2000 pieces, hung up on wall with frame within 24 hours. three of us, kammy, kareshi and me shared the puzzles and we practically done in 12 hours. its pretty addictive. and time consuming.

purchased at 1pm, and after 6 hours, lands were filled, ocean was killing. stopped at 10pm

but we never give up, and its all placed at where it should be at 1pm, next day.

i haven't mentioned in my previous post about the two meetings with kareshi's dad and his relatives. aunt from nanjing is here with her husband and grand-daughter, bei bei. she sure is a very boyish little girl. hyperactive. louis vuitton handbags but the grandparents are seriously overprotective to a point i can't help but say "crazy". the reason? its 25degrees that day, and bei bei was forced to wear two thick pants, one long sleeve cotton shirt, a sleeveless wools, and a knitted jacket. hot die her!

this is little bei bei checking her present we bought for her. the four disney princess story book with audio cd and tinkerbell 3d storybook.

took off the jacket, still looking too warm. weather? sunny with 27degrees. cloudless, windless. thank you.

this is my love. lili's daughter. 5 months old. adorable little fella. i like babies who love to play with strangers. not those who cries and scream. so not fun. yes, i like children, i like baby, i like kid. by choice. only the good and fun one. not those irritatingly disgusting spoil brats.

went to billy's on monday. the usual get-together with him, tim, bear and yiu wang except this time, we had steamboat at the restaurant. before that, the guys had fun with their mini table-tennis game. where kareshi and billy somewhat came up with the idea of using the small dining table for two, transformed it into table-tennis. and they left the house sweat and hot.

that's the table. and they are posing for me.

these guys are serious!

getting nervous for tomorrow's meet ups. kareshi's high school's schoolmates. first time meeting them, and yes, i am greedy. i do care and want and hope they all like me too. well, not that they are his close friend but i do hope to present a very good impression. not trying to outshine his exes but i do think there will be comparison talk behind our backs.

with love and compassion,

Sylvia Chang
