LGMH

When my sister was younger she came home from school one day and demanded I take her to the library so she could get books on sign language.

I asked why? She told me there was a new kid at school who was deaf and she wanted to befriend him.

Today I stood beside her at their wedding watching her sign "I DO". GMH

My grandma is sick and can't control her body. While mentally alert, she is often treated like a child. My grandpa and I were running to the grocery store when suddenly he turned around and drove all the way back home. When I asked him why, he said,

"I forgot to Kiss your grandma goodbye".

I have always been depressed.

Last night, I called my boyfriend crying, telling him that I wish he was here. We talked for six hours.

When we got off the phone, I heard tapping on my window. I looked out to see him, throwing rocks.

He lives in Boston, and drove six hours to come see me. His LGMH.

My boyfriend and I have been dating since the 7th grade. We are now 24, and married.

We first met in kindergarten when he threw a crayon at me.

Then in the 7th grade, he threw the same color crayon at me, with a homemade wrapper saying, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

The crayon was there at our wedding. His memory GMH.

I don't have an incredible love story like some of the LGMH's on here.

My husband and I didn't meet in kindergarten, or on a bridge, or after a traumatic event.

For a while that bothered me, but then I realized that if we can love each other as much as we do without that kind of story, than, more than ever before, LGMH.


Aren't all these short stories beautiful? I don't know how many of them are real, or probably they are all real, but they never fail to plaster a smile on my face although some stories may make me a little teary eyed. I feel happy for them, and they really prove that true love does exist. Thus whenever I'm sad or hopeless, I read the stories on LGMH. They remind me that there are fantastic, beautiful things and people out there. If you have had a terrible day today, remember, the sky isn't always blue, the sun doesn't always shine. Things fall apart so that better things can come into our lives.

Not Just A Fairy Tale

Something to do,
something to hope for,
and something to love.

Have you found your happiness?

Atlantis Odyssey

11.6.2010


It's the time of the year again, where you can see everybody dresses up for the graduation ball. The only thing which is different, the people you go with. You may or may not be able to meet these people again, and the chances for you to gather them all are very slim too. In other words, this is the last event which you get to see everybody, and it's certainly a memorable evening.


Ladies
( Rachel, Sam Tham, Fiona, Yours Truly, Melissa, Jocelyn, Stephanie & Sam Ong )

Ms. Chong, the Thinking Skills lecturer.

Mr. Raja, the human calculator. ( Maths lecturer )

PM8-ers :)

Sam Tham, Mel, Steph, Sam Ong & Shirley.
Oh wells, Mel was surrounded by the S's that night. :P

Li Jin, Yours Truly, Tsung Wai, Su Ann and Jennie

Ms. Cindy, PM8's very own mentor and Chemistry lecturer.
Try your luck, see if you can spot her among the PM8-ers.
It's difficult, I know, because she looks like a student too. :D

Mr. Peter, the Biology lecturer.

Prom King and Queen! :D

For Now

An extract from "Love, Rosie" by Cecelia Ahern,

I know what that feeling was at your wedding-it was jealousy. My heart broke when I saw the woman I love turning away from me to walk down the aisle with another man, another man she planned to spend the rest of her life with. It was like a prison sentence for me. Years ahead without me being able to tell you how I feel or hold you how I wanted to.
Twice we stood beside each other at the altar, Rosie. Twice. And twice we got it wrong. I needed you to be there for my wedding day but I was too stupid to see that I needed you to be the reason for my wedding day. But we got it all wrong.

Missed opportunities, they sting you just as much as regret does. Chances come and go, they don't stay right there, waiting for you to grab or hold on them. Why do you bother so much for your pride or the consequences that might or might not follow? We do not measure life with the number of right steps we've taken throughout the entire journey, but the lessons we've learnt and number of getting ups even if we fall over and over again.

In the novel, Alex and Rosie only managed to be together when they're at their fifties. They took half a lifetime to clear their doubts and misunderstandings. They got rid of everything which was in their way to be with each other. At least, they had the courage to do things right, no matter how old were they. But in reality, not everybody has the second opportunities coming in their way, do appreciate it before they're gone.

Here We Go!

It was the last day of A2 finals ( Okay, before you think that I was over the moon, do read my previous post because the reality wasn't like that. ), we had steamboat buffet for dinner, just to mark the end of our college life. But, only five of us turned up. Others had some errands to run all of a sudden and couldn't make it for the dinner. When will be the next time I see all PM8-ers together? I don't know, perhaps the day will never come although I hope it does.



A tag or card or whatever you name it. 55, and there were 5 of us. Triple 5? :P


As we all know, Yuen Steamboat Restaurant in Subang is famous for its barbecued chicken wings. And there was this group of boys, probably 16 or 17 years old, who couldn't resist the temptation of the chicken wings at all. They were there, all geared up and ready to grab as many chicken wings as they could whenever the lady who's working there brought them in every 45 minutes or so. You should really see their faces, it's like a do or die for them. Oh wells.


Sam Ong, who didn't have a clue why on Earth were they fighting for chicken wings.

Food, loves. :)

In the mood for pictures that night. :P

Hungry monsters!

The Sam's. :)

Tsung Wai, Yours Truly and Melissa. :)


The ladies, you don't need me to remind you who're in the picture right?

Awesome dinner with the lovelies.

Sam Ong, I really love your sarcasm.
How do I survive without it now?

Mel, and her never-ending gossips.
We have more to share in Bali.

Sam Tham, a very random poser.
And she's a good stalker, very good in it in fact.

The infamous chicken wings.
To be honest, I don't find them delicious, probably a 7/10.
You can get better barbecued chicken wings, almost everywhere I suppose?

Saviour of the day, Tsung Wai.
I don't know how he managed to grab some back for us when there were so many people crowding the tiny little table, waiting for the chicken wings. HAHA.

On our way to McDonald's for sundae cone.

Loves. :D

These pictures never fail to make me laugh, NEVER. :P

And I was the only one who couldn't eat sundae cone that night. :(

A happy family, I see. :D


Just like what I've posted earlier, we had fun that night. We had so much to talk about that we didn't know it was already 11 o'clock when we settled down in McDonald's. One thing's for sure, if it wasn't because of my curfew, we would spend more time reminiscing the past and talk about random topics which come into our minds. I heart you people. And Ms. Tan Shirley, do not miss any dinner besides this okay? :)


P.S: Bali on Tuesday! Can you feel my excitement? But darn, I really havta start looking for my travel kit and all, but I'm just too lazy to pack right now. Argh.

Need Not

It's funny how you put a false front, to show everybody that you're strong and you can go through everything that people put you through, but actually deep down inside you're not at all? You probably own a fragile heart, which you couldn't even handle it well yourself, let alone the rest. Problems, doubts, insecurities and fed-upness are all thrown at you at the same time. They leave no mark on your skin, not even a scar. But you know what, they form cracks in your heart. And the next thing you know, you're afraid of shattering into pieces. All you can do is to hope for the best, wishing for an immediate recovery the next day you wake up. But, is that even possible?

It's Not An Option

Freedom isn't about happiness alone, especially when you did badly in your last paper and you know that it's the subject which you had to score the most, just to get a placing in any universities out there to continue your degree. Sometimes, being an optimistic isn't good either. Why? Because if we are, means we're foolish enough to think that the best is yet to come. Right? So, what now? To be one, or not to be? Life lessons are real tough, they just hit you without any signs.

By the way, have I told you that I'm done with A-Levels? 1 and a half year, and now here I am, a college graduate. It's funny how the first day of college is still crystal clear in my mind but everything has come to an end now. Just an hour ago, I came home from the steamboat buffet dinner with both Samantha's, Melissa and Tsung Wai. We spent 4 hours reminiscing our college life, talking about small details which some of us could have probably forgotten and laughed at everything. Tell me, how can I not miss them? The fact that we're no longer classmates and probably moving on with another stage of life is heartbreaking.

Alright, I guess my comeback post shouldn't all about sadness alone. Let me tell you about my trip to Bali then. Yes, your eyes work perfectly fine. I'm heading to Bali on the 22nd of June with my awesome possum classmates. I was so surprised that my parents actually allowed me to go, despite all the news about it. Oh wells, I persuaded them for quite some time also. Anyways, you can expect to see an update about my trip to Bali, with great pictures. I guess I should really continue reading the reviews of restaurants in Bali. Do tell me about it if you've been there and would like to recommend some places to me. Appreciate it, really.

Till then, will be posting pictures soon. We'll start with the steamboat buffet dinner. And all the happenings before the month of June? Nah, I don't think I'll be updating about them anymore. My brain needs a good rest, better not overwork it right now. Goodnight, world. :)

What If

Can I give up right now?

I don't know, I really don't. One thing is for sure, I don't have the strength to stay strong anymore. I've done past years, read all my answers for God-knows-how-many-times and I've revised on the tough chapters. Why do I still find it difficult to understand Biology? Argh, I can't afford to screw another subject anymore. If it's screwed up, my life is screwed up as well. Give me a break, be nice to me, alright? :(
