Somehow, 26 doesn’t feel much different from 25. I believe the only different is mentality deep….I hope. Physically I think it’s still alright la. I’m glad that after 25 years I still have that few interesting characters around me since i was much younger who are there to celebrate my birthday with me.
You know you’re no longer young when you start saying…hey, I know you since form 4….then you go back and reflect………I was form 4 in 2000……….then reality hits you…..SHIT! you’ve known them for 10 years…..and even cooler…..I’ve got a bunch of 25/26 year olds (I’ve known for *gasp* 15 years) singing Happy Birthday in the busy/crowded cafe singing Happy Birthday to me with a cute cupcake and ‘1′ candle. How sweet.
So to everyone who made an effort to make my birthday special…….thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. It is never the gifts, wishes, cakes , food or drinks that made it great….it was your (yes everyone of you) presence that made it all so special =)
And now…time to get back to work .Will continue to reflect and remind myself that I am officially 26 and its 4 more years before that interesting big 30 happens. Anyway….after all…..it’s just a number. Just numbers with more pressure…sigh!
p/s: I am bored of being the last to see the pictures, I demand to have a copy of the pictures before it appears on Facebook for the whole world to see…..way before me >.<
Being on the borderline of 25 and much much nearer to reading my palm on my right hand(apparently your first 30 years of fortune is read on your left palm and the remainder on the right) , it seems to get more and more accurate with my apparently detached life and heart line which signifies an impulsive nature.
I just won a bid on eBay for a Kensington Liquidaux iphone/ipod car kit with remote even before i purchased my cd-player with aux in for my car. The good thing is, I purchased it at 60% discount from the price i last saw at machines (when there was still stock) . The bad thing is, I’ve got to wait 15 business days & pray hard that those Crooks Customs ppl wont take a bite on my 60% discount or worst.
Oh well…I have 3 weeks to think of what brand of Car Audio player to fix into my car. To USB or not to USB, that is the question. I shall just declare it another birthday present to self in a bid to justify my expenditure =P
I’ve been looking around for something to reward myself (yes , the Wii and Wii board doesn’t count) for quite sometime now and I decided to get myself a full sized headphone. Being quite a frugal person, Sennheiser is definitely out of the picture…and so, I settled for a Philips headset that made me Rm44 poorer and apparently it’s called a budget set in the numerous reviews I read on the website…SIGH!
This Philips SHP-2500 which I bought turned out to be an awesome set. It’s got a 6 meter wire which is more than I ever need…..not like I’ve got a big room anyway. Tanya sounds so great on it…even Linkin Park sounded sooo close…Lady Gaga at 3 in the morning will never be the same. Thank god for the volume control and the great bass for such an ordinarily priced headphone…. such value for money. Lets see if it still works in 2020 =P
Once again it’s the time of the year where I recall the 365 days that had passed by and welcome the new year ahead. Just like every year, I look back and reflect on the many choices and memories that shaped the year. Some bigger than others, but the smaller ones are not to be forgotten.
No doubt 2009 was a great year for me. There were many highlights in this year that had opened up my eyes and mind and I believe had changed the way I think. With big responsibility and bravery,I finally got myself 4 wheels to get around even though it means theres a debt waiting for me to repay. Rather risky to purchase my first car after 6 months of work but the smile and pride of my parents in my car every weekend makes it worth while.
Then there were the many opportunity to travel either for work or fun which were really splendid experiences I’d remember for years. I love travelling and being able to visit so many different places and countries in a span of a year is great..I will plan to visit some of this countries again on my own accord or perhaps with my parents if I could coax my mom out of Malaysia. Till then, being an armchair traveler and relating the interesting experiences to my parents when the TV features the places I’ve been to is still something I really enjoy.
Feeling kind of old this time around since I’m sitting home and avoiding the celebrations, traffic jams, fireworks and white sprays this year. Kinda odd that I’m not at the Curve having been there through Christmas & New Year 3 years in a row previously. But then, spending New Year with the family in the comforts of my home is just as fun.
I haven’t really thought of a resolution for 2010 but I do have some things in mind that i’d like to put to work in 2010, hopefully it will make 2010 just as wonderful as 2009 was to me =)
Wishing everyone a wonderful 2010 ! To health , success and prosperity!
I remembered the very first day I moved into my dorm, there was this Cheerleader in my room. She was a petite little girl , huge eyes with a cheerful smile reaching out her hand to introduce herself to me…..thus began my first found friend in my uni life who contributed to making uni life bearable.
Having to share my room with others was a learning progress for me, she help make it easier by keeping our own space to ourselves. She didnt freak out knowing that I wrote names on all my belongings and kept my cupboard locked all times. She is still the only person whom I shared a room with for more than 2 weeks straight and have not gone crazy.
She made me feel like an equal even though I was 4 years her senior. She never once got mad at me for looping the same stefanie or Tanya song for days and sometimes sang along to it. She likes the colour orange too and is a seasoned red wine drinker who enjoys a cup or two of my staple Bacardi Limon with me in my final year.
Today, this woman turns legal but not blonde! She can now legally and officially add Gambling into her vocabulary =)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUET LING!
Hope you have a blast! Thank you for the wonderful memories my dear 同居mate.
Do you ever have memories you would like to forget ? I have them. Things that would remind you at the slightest hint are always there to haunt. I still have those memories once in a while….nothing drastic, just some things in life you wished you’d forget and move on. Probably little things that doesn’t matter anymore but will always be there somewhere in the realms of the mind.
Somehow…someday…..these memories will be replaced. Hopefully with something that belongs only to me. No more lies , no more misgivings , no more hindrance , just a funny little memory that is pass tense.
This is the second time I listened to the song “Girls just wanna have fun” by Cyndi Lauper on radio today. Brings back memories of Kindergarten. If you’re thinking….boy….you actually remembered this “grownup” song when you just came out of your diaper wearing age…..well, it is coz my next door class in kindie danced to this song while my class had some stupid Chinese fan dance for kindie concert. So I believe I heard that song for like a billion times during rehearsal.
Fast forward 20 years later, I have finished all the compulsory exams(including drivers license) a person have to take throughout their life and is now contributing to the work force with her little bit of knowledge garnered all these years. It wasn’t a stroll in the park and obviously there were many many things I would have done otherwise if I had to choose my paths all over again….but I am glad I went through thick and thin to be here and accomplished the little things that made my parents proud. It wasn’t perfect but I’m glad I made it this far……..that 5 year old listening to that song 20 years back wouldn’t expect to be writing all these 20 years later……in a blog =)
I have a soft spot for love songs. The sorrower it sounds…the more I like it. I have certain preference for songs I listen to, some I place Melody over Lyrics first and foremost or for instance like Tanya Chua Songs, its always the lyrics that grabs me then the flow of the melody seals the song.
I wished that Tanya would have an unplugged session in Malaysia, I would love to see her perform in person. Just Tanya and the guitar…no need for pyrotechnics or fancy stage props…just her voice and a guitar….the perfect combination.
This song below is from her new album called “If You See Him” 若你碰到他 , It’s called “Projectile” 拋物線.
Well it’s Thursday already. Super fast week I might say… albeit an interesting one. Someone got a wedding proposal late last week and someone was caught and got kicked out of our clients place for bringing beer into their terminal room. Interesting as it seems….I got little birds to tell me that.
Then there was the heart stopping scare that my phone bade me goodbye for good…thank god he recuperated and survived with a new ROM in its body but still occasionally dials my phone book randomly.
Just arrived back in office after getting lost in a place called Ampang….and we were actually heading to Wangsa Maju in the first place. I will learn to trust my GPS next time…I promise. Thank god I put petrol before i left….or else i’ll be pushing my car to the nearest petrol station on the Duke Highway >.<
