我还想跳舞

This is a touching poem dedicated to the victims of the 512 Sichuan Earthquakes. Mommy handed me this newspaper cutting yesterday and asked me to read it. I read it aloud feeling touched but what touches my heart is the introductory part of the author of the poem.
The author, 黄思雨 is a standard five student from Sichuan 映秀镇primary school.She was rescued during the earthquake but in order to save her live, she has to had her left leg cut off.The nurses claimed she was the bravest little girl they have ever seen because immediately after the operation without any family members to accompany her, she endured the pain without shedding even a tear.She likes dancing since young and after removing the limb, she still adamant to be a dancer.
I was in tears after reading it feeling ashamed of myself and can't help feeling so lucky to have my mommy by my side before and after my own operation.I don't think i can be as brave and strong as her.
The poem goes like this :

我还想跳舞 ( 向灾场献诗 )

别截去我的脚
我还要挣钱养父母
别截去我的腿
我还
想跳舞
我想舞出千手观音
最曼妙的舞资

如果一切无可挽回
如果我天真的梦
搁浅在轮椅上
让我做个折翼天使
把爱心送给
受难的亲人和土地
用我的残缺
告诉世人惜缘惜福

但是
我还是想跳舞
用心灵舞出千手观音
为人间遍洒甘露

Kwong Siew Association 85th Anniversary Dinner

My mom started preparing her notes once she was being elected as the compere that night.She did put in lots of efforts into producing her notes on the history of her association, their activities, her woman's division activities and so on.Think she used about 1 week to do that on my pc.
Well, the celebration began on Fri,27/6/08 when outstation guests started to arrive and she had to welcome and entertain them during a welcome dinner held specially for them. The actual anniversary celebration is actually on Sat,28/6/08 where there will be meetings in the morning, one group photo in the afternoon and the dinner at night. There was this 'Beautiful Mum Contest' being held during the anniversary dinner.Having seen the other contestants for the contest, i honestly feel that my mom is the most gorgeous mom although she wasn't taking part in the contest.She looks fantastic wearing a black lace dress with a transparent material at her waist( to emphasize her slim waist) hosting the ceremony. Best of all, most of her friends told me that my mom looks pretty that night :P I am so proud of her. ^^

To Grow With Love 肥田喜事

Just finished watching this great TVB drama from Hong Kong.Starred by Myolie Wu and Andy Hui. The movie is generally about a fat girl looking for love and the difficulties she encountered while looking for her prince charming.
The story started when Fei Tien(Myolie), an Chinese-Phillipines fled to Hong Kong to run away from her father who always arranges blind dates for her. She met Tai Sei Hei(Andy) while on the plane to Hong Kong and become his object of ridicule. Nevertheless, Fei Tien decided to find work in Hong Kong to pay for her living expenses.As fate has it, Fei Tien happened to work in Tai Sei Hei's boutique and the quarrels and misunderstandings between the two of them started.
A strange twist of events brought them together in Philippines when Tai Sei Hei lost his memory and Fei Tin played a prank on him claiming that he is her boy friend. LOL What started as a simple prank turned into romance when they fell in love.
They got married at last after lots of obstacles.
The moral of the drama is to have confidence no matter what sizes u are. I did learns from that as i myself always feel not confidence enough >.<

First Shopping Trip :P

It was my first shopping trip since the accident last year. Went to Carrefour with mum to do a little shopping. At first we thought of going to Kampung Merdeka to 'yumcha' with her good friends but unfortunately one of her good friend got to go to Pontian so the 'yumcha' session was cancelled. We decided to go to Carrefour to have our breakfast since mum heard that it opens as early as 8.30 am !! We had our breakfast at a malay mamak shop. Both of us ordered Roti Prata. But when the food arrived, they were such BIG portion. We finished them as we had decided it will last us till dinner time LOLZ
After the breakfast, we went in to look see look see and mum ended up buying a pair of pump shoe at the price of RM 16.90(fairly cheap). I bought a facial toner, a milk cleanser,some sushi, a box of ice-cream,yogurt and Yakult while mum bought some vegetables and fruits.We've shopping for around 1.5 hours before i felt some soreness in my injured leg and decided it's time to go home.

An Improvement ^^

I went to hospital for follow-up appointment today and after scrutinizing my x-ray, he told me that i don't have to rely on the walking frame to walk around anymore. Whoa whoa...isn't that good news ? I am delighted, of course...Been waiting for this type of permission long since before CNY but that time i was still in pretty bad shape...>.<
But the doctor also mentioned that I have to undergo another operation to take out the metal plating that's inside my left thigh end of next year +.+ That depends on my decision, of course but after asking what are the consequences if i chooses not to take it out, i decided to follow my doctor's advice.Gee, that's scary...another operation....going to freak me out again :(
Well, someone told me that's still a long time to worry about and i guess he is true...Why spoiling my good mood now? I got to learn how to walk again maybe because i was too relying on the frame and i think i lost my confidence to walk properly again :/ Hmmm, have to learn like a baby on how to walk again :S My walking is unstable now and i hope to walk properly before that function on Friday night :P What to do ?? They say practice makes perfect :P

Blood Test

I went to the hospital this morning to take some blood for tests.Those blood tests results will be sent to my doctor so that during my next appointment with him, he can have the results and therefore diagnose my condition accurately.But why can't I take my blood on the day of my appointment?? Haiz, because the nurses and doctors said those blood results won't be ready if I took the blood test on the day of my appointment :/ So much for efficiency , huh? But there is nothing I can do .... so follow what they asked me to do lar.... take blood one week before the appointment :S
Okay, so i went to this room specially for blood taking. There was 2 nurses inside and the nurse who attended to me told me that she needed to take quite a lot of blood for the tests.The first time she inserted the needle into my arm, just a squirt of blood come out into the syringe only arg..... then she changed the needle position in my arm to try to get my blood out.... still no sign of my blood....heee ..... Actually, my blood veins are very tiny one and it'll need an expert to take my blood successfully without causing me any more agony.So all in all she got my blood on the 3rd attempt (faintz) and used up 3 needle's and both my left and right arm were injured(okay, i was exaggerating....hehe) Think she took around 10ml of my blood!!!! I am definitely going to be anaemic after this >.< My friend commented that the nurse must be cock-eye one ROFL

Faye Wong and Wong Fei Hong

I nearly roll off my chair laughing when someone asked me this question a few days ago: Is Faye Wong the daughter of Wong Fei Hong? Well, what about u? Can u tell who's who ? LMAO The person who posed that question is one of my Facebook friend.I guess it's because they happened to share the same surname Wong?? But it's not the same surname in Chinese. One being 王非 while the other one is 黄飞鸿. Ah, so u can see why he is confuse now ? Hehe.And if u pronounce their surnames in Cantonese,u'll know why, coz both surname is Wong.Hmmm, guess he never listen to songs?? or we suffer from generation gap ?? Oh dear, because Faye Wong's been singing since 1987 but shot to fame only in 1992 with her famous rendition of Broken Hearted Woman.Oh my gosh....what's he been missing?? She is also an actress, singer, songwriter and model.Her face could be seen in lots of advertisements of Head & Shoulders and Pepsi Cola in China, Hongkong and Taiwan.She also graced the cover of Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Female and lots more.How come i know so much about her? Well, She's my idol since 1993 when i heard her song, No Regrets 执迷不悔. I've been collecting her CDs , singing her songs, and watching her dramas and movies.... I just adore her.
Now, who's Wong Fei Hong, then? He is a famous martial arts master,also a practitioner of Chinese Traditional Medicine.He also got lots of apprentices who learnt martial arts from him. There's been lots of his fighting movies since late 1940s to 1960s.Well, I bet my dear friend is a fan of Wong Fei Hong.
I think i know why he linked Wong Fei Hong to Faye Wong now. He must've seen me joining Faye Wong's group in Facebook and decided to ask me...... I guess he is happy to know the truth from me because he told me he used Faye Wong as his new profile message: XXX really thought that Faye Wong is Wong Fei Hong's daughter until someone burst the bubble. ROFLMAO

Daily to do list ROFL

As I am recuperating at home now, all i do nowadays includes helping around the house (simple house chores), reading and of course surfing the internet to kill off my boredom. So where do i go mostly on the net ? :P:P Tempting , rite ?? Of course go Facebook lar....

I know i am terrible as some of my friends claimed because there's daily to do list in Facebook, too. Every day, i got to park my cars, train my fleet of vampire, werewolf, zombie and slayer,feed my fluff pet, Cutie and Haikoo pet, Adorable , race my cars,plane and motorbike. Then i got to feed my virtual babies too, send invites for Billionaires, send lil green patch invites( I got about 100++ unattend requests for it at the moment,faintz!!) and last but not least, got to go collect daily bucks for logging into Friends for sales, Hotties for sales, You're a Hottie, Owned, Human Pets, Make a Baby, 收买朋友,Blackjack, Texas Poker. Whew!! Quite impressive rite?

I don't deny that IT IS indeed time consuming spending so much time playing.Hmmm..... made up my mind to spring clean Facebook applications next week ( I've already spring cleaned thrice, i think) Just keep a few should be enough.... LOL Just see how i manage to delete my dearest applications again..... Will update again to see how well i fare :P Gambate!!! Phoenix!! :P

这该死的爱

This is an Korean drama that i had just finished watching online. Been watching it for the past 2 weeks .The storyline is quite sad as many viewers complained about how tragic the fate of the lovers.It has Rain( the famous Korean actor/singer) as the lead actor and in this movie he is supposed to seek revenge against his brother's girlfriend,En Xi who had indirectly caused his brother to become a human vegetable after a fall. And as you have predicted it, yes, he fell in love with En Xi who is suppose to be his enemy!!! Oh god.... the plots got more complicated when it involved Rain's girlfriend and another tycoon's son got tangled into quite messy relationships :/ In short, their love is forbidden and lastly both Rain and the woman he loved died in each others arms. A sad ending which left the viewers complaining that they preferred to watch Rain in another successful Korean drama, Full House.

Ah, i was just continuing with my teacher's assignment when i was schooling last time where she wanted everyone of us to write a synopsis for the story book that we had read ^^

An Outing

Mama brought me out today.We went to her friend's house at Banang Heights.It's those semi-detach bungalow.It's spacious both outside and inside of the house.We were greeted by her three dogs when we reached her house.Luckily she locked up all three dogs at a corner.It looked as though the dogs can just simply cross over the barrier and come down sniffing at me and barking at the same time.But the owner's of the dogs assured me that those doggies can't cross over and come out. Whew!! That was close for i am terrified of dogs of any kind, really. Even u assured me that it is harmless, i think i will shout whenever a dog come near me. Don't know when did i develop a phobia for dog.But i think i was a little scare of all kinds of animals, insects .

So, after i walked out of sight of those noisy barking dogs, they quieten down,too.We chatted with mum's friends for about two hours when mum decided that we should make our move.Just when we went outside ready to go back but still out of those dogs view, they started to bark again :/ I must have admitted that they have really good nose.Actually, they are harmless as their owner claimed but it's those barking that made me feel nervous and terrified >.<

And off we went back since mama got to work in the afternoon. She said that i ought to come out of the house more often to feel the fresh air and the sun. Well, i couldn't agree more since each outings made me more cheerful ^^

Fuel Price Increase >.<

There was this news yesterday that fuel price will increase again *sigh* And i thought that it was increased not long ago !! Furthermore, it will increase 78 cents this time, mind you !!! That's 41% according to the statistics from the news last night. An increase from RM 1.92 to RM 2.70 !!! Faint !! How are the people going to survive in future?? Some are already contemplating walking and cycling as alternatives. The prices will also increase dramatically for other things like groceries and all sorts.
And i heard that the petrol kiosks in my city are fully packed with cars wanting to fill up their petrol tanks and thus causing a massive traffic jam last night.

My brother Patrick from KL did MSN me to remind Mum to fill up her petrol tank but luckily Mum had already pumped petrol one day earlier and thus saving time queuing to pump petrol last night.

I also heard from my good friend just now that there will an increase in the price for electricity next month >.< Those electricity bills that exceed RM 44 will not be affected while those exceeded RM 44 will experience a whopping increase of 26% in their electricity bills. Didn't that sound like another daylight robbery?? Sigh...

Think i will walk and use fan for cooling purpose in future in order to save fuel and electricity....What do u think? Good idea ??? LOL

Time Flies *Sigh*


I remembered vividly the date 4/6/07 when i was holidaying in Shanghai, China with my mum. We went there with a Malaysian tour group. The itinerary included Suzhou,Nanjing, Wu xi,Wu Zhen and Shanghai. We made some friends during the trip,but the ones who left an impression is a little boy and Xiao Lin.


The little boy was there to accompany his grandparents. Well, it seems that his parents paid for his trip to accompany his grandparents. His mission is to take care of his grandmother because she suffered from arthritis and walked slowly whilst his grandfather walked quickly once we reached a new destination. >.< He would helped his grandmother out of the bus and waited patiently as she tried to walk slowly , trying to catch up with us. Then there's Xiao Lin with her hubby-to-be on an advanced honeymoon to Shanghai and they happens to be in my tour, too. We ( Xiao Lin and her hubby, little boy and yours truly) happened to be the youngest in our tour group.We would sat together during mealtimes and we would tempted the little boy into drinking beer with us. Then his face would turned tomato red due to the alcoholic content of the beer( exactly it's very mild beer to us :P) and we would teased him mercilessly. ROFL Ah, Those happy moments .............


I also managed to met with Lawrence while on Shanghai.He is one of my Skype net friend and we have already arrange to meet up when i was in Shanghai. We met on the second last day of our Shanghai trip and he did look like the boy in the photo that he given me when we first chatted online :P Our rendezvous took only about an hour and we exchanged souvenirs. I gave him a Sammi Cheng phone card ( for China use only)and a bottle of 保济丸 since he suffered from mild stomach discomfort. He gave me a sachet of potpourri ( ah, the fragrance is so nice :P) He even requested to take some photos with me as remembrance ^^ Finally the day for us to leave Shanghai arrived and good byes were exchanged. I wish that day would never arrived but it did. I'll never forget those happy memories .......

The Difference between Happiness and Suffering ( Two dining rooms)

This is a story that i came across today and i liked it so much that i've decided to put it down to my blog .......

Long ago there lived a boy who learned about heaven and hell while working hard at learning the Buddha's teachings. He meditated in the front of his Buddha image, wondering "What is hell like? What is heaven like? I want to know more about the difference!"

That night, he dreamed of a Buddha. "Hello, little boy," the Buddha said to him. "You asked to know more about heaven and hell. First, I will show you hell."

In his dream, the boy was taken to a blue door. As he got closer, it opened without a sound. He carefully stepped through the door, and inside was a dining room. He saw a beautiful table with delicious-looking dishes of meat and fish and piles of fruit spread all over it. It was the most wonderful feast he had ever seen.

"How could this place be hell?" the boy wondered.

Then, suddenly, appearing out of nowhere, ghosts began to gather. Restless and impatient, they were unhappy and scary-looking. The boy had never seen anything like them before.

When all the ghosts were finally seated, they picked up their chopsticks. The chopsticks started to grow, becoming longer and longer and longer, until they were all a yard (a meter) long. The ghosts tried to eat with their long chopsticks, but they couldn't. Even when they could pick something up, they couldn't put it into their mouths. They tried again and again, but it was no use. Frustrated, they started getting upset and fighting with each other.

Suddenly, the back doors of the dining room opened, and a large gaping black hole appeared. Mealtime was over. The ghosts were still very hungry, but they disappeared into the dark hole.

The Buddha turned to the boy and said, "You look so sad. Now let me show you the dining room in heaven."

Quietly, another door opened to a dining room that looked exactly like the room in hell.

"What's the difference?" he wondered. Just then, happy-looking people started to quietly gather around the table. "But how are they going to eat with those same long chopsticks?" the boy asked.

After sitting down, the people began picking up food with their very long chopsticks and, instead of trying to feed themselves, they began putting the food into the mouths of the people sitting on the other side of the table. They took turns feeding each other, giving the other person whatever they wanted to eat. They enjoyed the meal so much!

"You see," said the Buddha gently, "the rooms are the same. It all depends on your heart. Your kindness makes heaven."

The boy nodded and said, "Thank you so much for showing me the two worlds. Now I understand. The difference between heaven and hell is in the hearts of people themselves!"

The Buddha smiled and said good-bye to the boy, just as he awoke from the dream. But he never forgot the teaching, and helped many other people to find the difference between heaven and hell.

Lindt Lindor White Chocolate

Finally I couldn't resist the temptation to devour the Lindt Lindor White Chocolate bought by my cousin, Coryn. The white chocolates were delivered by her brother, Calvin to me yesterday. We (Coryn and I) chatted late last night on the MSN and she wanted me to eat one tiny piece of it daily :P Very nice of her.... She said that since white chocolate is made of milk, it will be good for my bones LOL

Well, they are kept in the refrigerator once my cousin Calvin brought them to my house so they would melt away in this hot weather.(Think he must have taken them out from his fridge) Ah, the nice and beautiful box of Lindt made me couldn't bear to eat it coz they really look nice but when i put one tiny piece into my mouth, it melted ....ooooo That was unbelievably delicious! and like nectar from heaven. Suddenly i wanted to finish all at once :P

My pet Cutie from fluff friend (one of Facebook application) would've said something like this should i feed it with this Lindt chocolate : If it's a pet, i'd marry it ROFLMAO

Think i better eat it daily because i am watching my weight now >.<

Beautiful Sunday

It's hot and humid today but it's a beautiful Sunday to me because my aunt Deborah came back from KL and she visited me today :P And my cousin Calvin and his fiancee also came to my house today.... Well, quite a crowd, huh :P My cousin came to my house to pass me some goodies(White Chocolates) he brought back on behalf of his sister in Australia.

Yes, Calvin just came back from Australia not long ago... He went there to have his wedding photos taken by another cousin in Australia, ZW. Those wedding photos are faboulous and well taken if u ask my opinion :P

Soon it was around 1.30 pm and everybody was feeling hungry so we proceed to Oldtown Kopitiam in Carrefour where we ordered some food to fill our stomach. I ordered Oldtown Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun( RM5.50) with a cup of Xi Mut Milk Tea ( 丝袜奶茶)( RM 2.20) . It tasted delicious maybe because I am already feeling peckish at that moment....

We left the Kopitiam at around 3 pm when my aunt Deborah wanted to go back to KL. I do hope there will be outings like this in future whenever she came back to BP to visit me..... :P
