You are valuable.
You are precious.
No matter what happen. No matter how much problem is pushing you down.
You still hold the same value as before.
And when you climb back up again..
Knowing your problems are just teenee-beenee ones as our Almighty Daddy are so much more bigger!…
You will grow stronger, happier, and be the example to many..
Never let the enemy make you feel worthless…
Cause you are not…
And you are NEVER worthless.
and
You are and will always be my hero.
It was quite a surprise to have him all the way down here to spend the V-day with me.
The only thing that was planned was his trip down. Flowers, dinner and night out was all random. Quite fun I would say.
Because all that matters is just having him around.
And although it was just one rose, I am still a very happy girl that night.
Despite being together for 7 years+, this is only our 3rd V-day celebration together due to Long Distance Relationship (LDR).
We can pull it through!
I never knew what “Huat Ah” means. Was wondering the meaning when everyone wishes me that. Then, a friend told me that “Huat” means “Fa” or “Fatt“, which means prosperity.
And being a working adult, their well wishes are mostly, “Be prosperous”. Not that is bad, just feeling different. When I was much younger, CNY is all about fun and collecting ang pows. Never really bother about prosperity. Prosperity is good, but treat prosperity wise too.
But anyways, Chinese New Year is not all about being prosperous. It is also the time to spend time with your loved ones.
Had reunion dinner with the bf’s family for the 2nd time. The food were awesome! =D Then, the bf drove me back to Kuantan and spent the first day of CNY with me and my family for the first time. Had an awesome time together though.
2nd day of CNY is the most meriah one, when my relatives came down from Singapore, JB and KL. Of course, it gets more meriah when we have our 2 lil cousins along. =)
Amanda and Tarnia greeted us with “Gong Xi Fa Cai!” and they cheered us up with their big bright happy smiles!
Our reunion dinner mainly falls on the 2nd or 3rd day of CNY where everybody is back home. The food, oh so yummilicious Hainanese food!
sometimes, its also great hanging out with extended relatives too.
On the 3rd day of CNY, we went for our usual beach outing as the cousins loves the beach. This time we headed over to Pantai Sepat. It’s been awhile since I been there. It’s clean and not crowded!
This is also the best opportunity to practice my photography skills. Still bad, but I think it’s okay for a nooby like me. I was using daddy’s Nikon D90. Some pictures are taken by my sister using uncle’s Nikon D3100. Also, from here I learnt that taking pictures in RAW and just JPEG has difference especially when it comes to editing.
I thought I have mastered the knowledge of Shutter speed and Aperture, but whenever I hold a DSLR, I fail to understand. Settings will never get right! Anyways, way way way way way lots to learn!

I like the blue sky. Haha, edited it! With RAW, the sky can turn blue when I edit. Without RAW, no matter how much I enhance, the sky will never turn blue but the sea will turn as muddy as it can.
I have watched somewhere on YouTube, that, do not glue onto your handphone and ignore the guests.
Well, they are the guests. And they are all on the phone. Even Tarnia! All facebooking except for Tarnia, playing with her games on her mommy’s iPhone.
Tarnia knows which is iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4!
Kids are all so smart these days. And they make us happy! =)
Always looking forward for CNY because of the smiles we put on our faces. Everyone is happy, and I hope we all can be as happy as that all the time!
Wishing all of you a very happy new year! Well wishes and be prosperous in this year and in the near future!
It’s funny that despite being in a country with majority Chinese community, I was the ONLY Chinese at work today afternoon. The tea room was filled with Tagalog, Tamil and Burmese language.
Obviously shows the majority staff in this hospital’s OT are foreigners.
Oh well, at least I got my first angpow for this CNY from the hospital! I am definitely looking forward for more!
Work was extremely free today, a weekday, a TUESDAY. The list was like a Saturday’s list, not approaching 30 cases today. Time ticks so slowly, it was as if the whole afternoon took 24 hours. I was waiting for the next day’s list to come out so I could decide if I am able to apply for leave. When the list came out, there was less than 15 cases! Like, wow? On a WEDNESDAY?
Now, you see an obvious Chinese majority community. Everyone is preparing for CNY the next day!
So yeah, I managed to get a day leave tomorrow and I am ready to wake up earlier to clear my room.
(My room is still as messy as if it just got hit by tsunami). I just do not know how to clear all these mess. I would like to request to have my room door close throughout the whole CNY season.

And oh, I was out with Danee this morning for a pedicure session at We Love Nails, ION Orchard. She brought her Lumix GF2 along and O-M-G the camera is awesome! Made me feel like getting one! But like what daddy said, “If you want to get a DSLR, drop that thought of getting a GF2!”
But Lumix GF2 is so awesome, I want one also!
Anyway, I can’t wait to go back to KL tomorrow. So many complications on my travel itinerary, I must make this holiday a good one. Because of that one mistake I made, I had to pay an extra $90. Not worth it for just one mistake you know? It hurts so bad. $90 can buy a nice pair of jeans liao.
And of course, to meet me love. <3 The one that will always make my heart leap. =)
Sorry for going MIA again. Was just too busy to sit down and blog about something. Since I’m a little free now, I shall start blogging about something!
So it’s the 10th day of 2011. How did everyone celebrated your new year? 2010 has gone and let’s all look forward for a better future! =)
2011 is gonna be a year full of celebration. Live. Love. Laugh. Proposals, marriages, birthdays, travels, work!
So I celebrated the New Year at Australia. I enjoyed the trip with the bf, Nigel and Kel Li
nope, we did not dress up like the locals of Aussie for party. We were all just looking at them, admiring their dresses and shoes. We were just all in casual beach wears!
“Aww, Asians doesn’t know how to party?”
This was what we were wearing! Casual and brr it was cold that night! Cold summer aye?
This is the beautiful Brisbane. Look at the blue blue sky we can never get in Malaysia and Singapore! It was a windy day, thank God no rain!

Though I enjoyed my trip a lot with the bf, but what makes it even fun when there are friends around you! So yeah, double date at Movie World! Fun hanging out with Kel Li who’s always so excited about all the rides while me scary cat don’t dare to sit any of the rides.
But she managed to persuade me to ride on this Scooby Doo one. I saw kids going on the rides too. So I thought it isn’t that bad. But no, the ride was OMGicandie, I screamed so loud, I think they couldn’t concentrate on the ride but to laugh at my screams. Heh
There are just too many pictures that I wanna share. If you wanna see more pictures, you can see them all in my facebook. =)
I really enjoyed this trip, very much. It is indeed a blessing from Above that I am able to travel to Aussie for the 2nd time of the year last year. Truly amazing!
And of course the best part of the trip is coming back with my luggage packed with cheap summer dresses! And due to that, both our wallets were screaming in pain. And it is only me who was doing the shopping. =P
Of course, without the bf, this trip may be impossible. Thanks love. xoxo
