On Self-Declared Hols

Home has been good. Always been and always will :)

this is not mine. Browie left it there in my room since forever =.='' He refused to remove it fainted*

Coming back earlier than scheduled this week was really unexpected. Didn't expect to lose my voice and end up being literally dragged home by my daddy. ahaha



This time being at home made me really happy. I realised how much I missed my family. Talking to my dad and mom and not forgetting my browie. Since mommy was working, so dad was looking after browie and I. He took care of our meals & practically everything else.



We went grocery shopping together as I needed to restock for war coming finals . And not forgetting the ten other million errands dad had to do. His timing is rather flexi unlike mommy's.

I will never ever get bored talking to my dad coz we will never run out of topics. Trust me, he is so fun to be with. Full of nonsense, & sometimes I literally fainted about a gazillion times in my mind at the things he does.

according to browie, spiking up his hair makes him taller. ahah..
He keeps complaining that I'm not tall enough.. so hurt

All browie and I did was laugh & laugh ..& laugh. My dad is a very ideal version of a modern father. I miss coming home la.

Sometimes I wonder what am I doing in KL. Only come home once or twice a month. Afterall, home is so near. Seriously, talking on the phone is really different from speaking face to face. My parents give me all the time I need. I can never be more thankful than this.



Catching up with mommy was good too. She's rather busy with work lately as its the peak period now before Nilai International School officially opens in Jan. The marketing department is sooo busy.

But listening to stories of how her workaholic superior is overly stressed over nothing is super hilarious. Talk about stories in the work place, ..classic.

Anyhow, we are all looking forward to going down south to celebrate Christmas and to spend some quality time together. It has been a long year indeed and everyone needs a break. Our sworn brother is anxiously waiting for our arrival tmrw :)


It's all play and no studies. Wohooo... temporary phenomenon ahaha



Don't miss my presence too much grinning* .I'd be back in no time, all geared up and ready for a brand new 2010. It's all going to be all good with God :)

A Caroling Experience

It was rather fun joining CSS for their annual caroling @ Sg Wang. I enjoyed myself very much and the ppl in CSS are all pretty nice :) Very warm and chirpy all at the same time.

Initially, the 3 of us; Paddiekins, Katiekins and I were suppose to join this together. Afterall, Andrewkins was the Choir/Music director ( he sings real well :) ) But unfortunately, due to some circumstances, my dear old Latoya Paula Abdul aka Lee Dhobbie aka paddie could join us.

Caroling means that Christmas season is finally here! and everyone it is the time where we get into the X'mas mood and sing all those nicely kept carols that are only opened up at the end of each yr.

This is the Poinsettia that we had to pin up on our shirts and the Santa had we wore

Amazingly, they had a rather pretty stage. Nicely lit up with swans whose heads that could turn left & right

It was a lil' nerve wrecking singing on stage with ppl poking their head out from every floor jz to see us sing for half an hour


But trust me, it sounded good. People from all walks of life were absorbed with the carols that they joined us as we sang our hearts out


This is Andrewkins in action


The trio - Guitarists for Christ :)

Jon, I dunno his name and Andrewkins

All I am after is.....

Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know

Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wastin' my time

Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
So I'm runnin' back to tell you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do, yeah

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' 'bout all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through, yeah
Know there's no life after you

Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you, yeah

This song is still stuck in my head for the past few weeks. Real nice song...emoness personified... Jz wanna share with my fellow readers :)

and Daughtry looks better with hair

Life's Like That

I could'nt stop laughing when I talked to her about it. To be legally married @ 20? Why close yourself to the many doors of opportunities that lies ahead. Life has jz begun or should I say, it hasn't even started ?


If you were to talk to me about this kind of issues, you'd be rest assured I'll give you some real solid meat to churn and digest. Eventhough I'm a rather optimistic person in nature, certain things require double or maybe triple attention & consideration.

Back to my friend, talking to her shedded some light to a different perspective of life and how some ppl carve their own path. Whatever it is, there isn't one right road to being happy. It jz works differently for different individuals. And as long as you are willing to bear the consequences of the decisions you have made, standing firm in what you believe, walking with your head held up high despite what ppl might say, not giving up even after the many times you fall, and still have hope in this life that you live...

what can I say, but... you have it all.

What is life..... without ups and down? without heartaches and failures? without extreme joy and non stop of laughter? without having to make tough decisions between the 2 that you cant seem to give up on either one? without having to forgo something that means so dearly to you for the betterman of yourself and also for the other party? without having to give and take? without having to let go despite not being at fault in the very first place, without having to love and not be loved in return...


Life has both the goods and the bads in equal ratio. No doubt, some ppl jz seems to be better off in many things as compared to us but, I believe that when it comes to being happy and contented, it really just lies within us.

Being optimistic and hopeful about life is a matter of choice. You can be filthy rich and be so lonely and hopeless about life but at the very same time, you can be jz like any ordinary plain Jane or simple Joe, but everyday is an exciting journey for you.

Something new to learn each day, a new thing to discover about another individual, a quality that you admire from a person and can take it on for yourself, enjoying the simple pleasures in life, cherishing the many people that colour up your life and finally counting your blessings one @ a time....


you will soon realise that there is so much to be thankful for.

Life isn't that bad, trust me. It's our mindset that needs a paradigm shift. Then maybe, you'd be singing another tune when you realised that.. life's like that...

P/S: To my dear friend, I wish you well and all the joy that life can bring :)

What can I say ?

To the...

This is the Rising

Emerge Rising 2009 was a really packed but fun-filled 2 and a half days in Sunway Convention Centre.

Here is a summary of the entire Emerge :) For more pictures, do check out the ones that I've uploaded in facebook alright?

Friday night was massive I tell you. We had to travel to Sunway by bus instead of our vans dues to the vast amount of friends that the City Harvesters had invited :)

Bus ride was somehow fun as they try to put those in the same cell together

Emerge Rising 09

A moment of interrogation by Sifu

What a memorable event :P

So, you'd be joining us next year wont you?

This is a video compilation of the entire event. Enjoy :)

wohooo.. Guess who's back?

it's the girl who's greatest excuse for practically everything is because .. she is too busy...which is TRUE okay?

Besides watching a little bit of Sporean soap my mommy bought, I slept comfortably on my cozy bed. :)

Went for dinner with my granny and Dai Yee. Parents had some dinner with some outstation friends.

Remember at one time I wanted to buy a small cactus coz was real cute. And my Popo and Dai Yee really have green fingers. Po said she talks to her plants daily =.=''. Somehow, never had the chance to buy them and Dai Yee had real huge ones that aint 'hoh ngoi' (cute) @ all.

But today I jz told them bout my failed expedition to buy one and grinned. I want cute cactus! Guess what Dai Yee gave me ....



This whole thing. So cun huh ? eeeeeeeee

But I really don't have the space to keep them in the hostel and no one wants to take care of them for me at home. So I jz took 2 and browie took 1. They shall take care of the rest of it for me. Po said if mine dies, jz come back and change another one with her.


Haha.. this is what we call permanent warranty :) wohooooo


Po: O look at the ducks that I'm rearing . smilling* U see, they dont need to be fed and they look so pretty.

Me: =.='' fainted in my mind*

Blessed be Your Name

An old song, but one that is rather inspiring, uplifting and just simply puts smile on my face. Makes me want to dance around in God's presence. It gives me a sense of peace and assurance that though I may not know what lies ahead, its going to be all good having Jesus walking this journey of life side by side with me.

Enjoy.





This is another nice praise song. The worship leader's voice is real nice. I like it a lot.

Cina-fied

Its comical how everyone around me tells me how TARC has made me go 'Cina-fied' aka Lala.

Haha, in a way yes but nah, not in totality thats for sure. Many things still remain ...hmm.. simply jz jen.

It's funny how ppl have their own perspective on Tarc, but what can I say, after all, everyone is subject to their own opinions. I'm not exempted from this either. :P

One thing for sure is that my Chinese Language and Cantonese dialect has definitely improved by leaps and bounds thanks to the excessive need to converse in these languages in order for ppl to understand me. Not forgetting my dearest roommate who cant seem to get me whn I am merely speaking in simple English even after having to repeat myself a couple of times. Usually I jz give up and speak in Chinese. And she immediately gets me. eyes wide open* Fancy that.

Besties said that somehow I got Lala-fied in a way. ahaha,... and they cant really accept that. Gay3 being prejudice saying that I even smile like a typical Tarcian. But anyhow, did I mention, she herself is being surrounded by chinese peeps in dear old Utar next door? She can speak in chinese laa. cool yea?

Its rather difficult not to be influence whn it comes to certain things. After all, if it's not directly, its indirectly for sure.

Some things still remained the same, I still cant accept the minor grammatical errors that are so clearly visible in posters, banners, flyers and notices that are all around the college and the hostel premises. It's such a disgrace to make such errors in an educational institution. Dont the SAD actually at least proof read them before approving them?


If such minor errors are often being overlooked, then ppl might get too used to it and eventually forget how it shd be properly sentenced.

At the very same time, who am I to judge? after all, my language is half baked too. It's a continual learning process and it will last for my entire lifetime. :)

Before I end, I would like to express my deep regret that I cant read & write in Chinese. It is definitely to my disadvantage and I'm at the losing end. I seriously enjoy listening to chinese music but honestly, I don't understand a single word due to my inability to grasp its meaning fast enough. I have one less place to work whn it comes to my dream job. A much slimmer chance whn it comes to penetrating the China market in the near future. Handicapped whn it comes to reading menu's that are completely in Chinese and many more..


I admit, it's a crying shame for a Chinese to not know her own mother tongue well enough let alone her main language. I feel so ..... sad whnever I think about it. It's not that I wasn't given a chance to learn it, it's the very fact that I never saw the importance of it until much later in life.

Never too late to still learn it, but somehow it's still different..

I'm not complaining, I'm indeed proud for having spent my primary and secondary life in a national school because I enjoy being surrounded by friends from different races. It's such a joy to see beyond color and creed & understanding the different cultures and backgrds of the various races.

Afterall, we are Malaysians right?


I don't feel left out at all even if I were to be the only Chinese in the grp/clan/gang. I seriously don't feel the awkwardness.

Last but not least, I am still plain old Jen who is not trying hard to be LALA .. okay? stop saying that I am. Cause I'm far from that whn its comes to my thinking. :)

Toodles for now peeps :)
