Moments of being Grace

In New York’s subway…

“Where are you from?”
“Malaysia!”

*puzzled look*

“It’s near Singapore”
“Ahhhhh!! Malaysiaaaa!!”

*silence*

“Is tai chi in Malaysia?”

I just couldn’t stop laughing after that! LOL!

Hey peeps…

So much to say….yet, I am not telling! LOL! Anyway, this is a very random post (again)…..specially for those who are nosy interested to know about my well being. Besides falling into the drain and being a very frequent visitor to the doctor, nothing much happened. Oh yea, I cycled into the drain. Got myself two scars to remember for life. There goes my ambition to be a stewardess! I was cycling at a very high speed and *bang* I was in the drain. I’m just very thankful for I did not have any major injuries but my left hand’s movement was quite restricted.

After the whole drama, I left for Langkawi with my friends. What bad luck I had! I went to Langkawi with fever and came home looking tanned - very tanned! I have these weird spots on my arms too. Don’t know why. Perhaps it’s the alcohol? Mmmsss… Anyway, I was on medication during the first few days of the trip and also after the trip. Had sore throat and mom was getting worried as we are going for a holiday soon.

It’s our annual holiday =) If you have been following my blog, last year I went to Nagoya. Nope, you can’t find the post on it. All deleted! This year, it’s Stockholm and New York. Christmas will be spent in New York while I’ll be in Stockholm on my birthday and New Year. Cool? Mmm…I guess it is, when you have no one to celebrate with back home. *looking pathetic* It’s just me, being a drama queen! =P But hey, I’ll be experiencing snow (I hope) and winter in 2 days time. *jumps for joy*

So, I’ll be on a holiday soon and guess what, I just returned from the clinic. More medication - AGAIN! I’m having some alergy reaction and the bruises which have recovered are extremely itchy now. *scratches* Now I have red patches on my leg. Good that it’s winter, so my legs won’t be exposed for others to see. HAHA!

When I’m back for my holiday, it will be the CNY preparation. Btw, Christmas in kinda dead in KL? Is it me or there’s just no Christmas spirit. Sadness. When I was shopping in Sg. Wang yesterday, there were shops playing CNY songs. All along it was dong-dong-chiang dong-dong-chiang! Hopefully, Christmas will be better in the other part of the world.

Tomorrow it’s the Winter Solstice festival. Hence, it’s time to have those little glutinous rice balls. Will be helping mom to roll the balls. Heh….so, happy Winter Solstice festival to all out there. Oh btw, if you need more details on Winter Solstice…..um, wiki it okay. Haha!

Toodles!

This has been something that I have been thinking about for quite some time. Finally, I was proven to be wrong. All these while, I thought that maturity comes along with age. Okay…maybe it’s just me? But I really thought that age IS the best indicator for maturity as one will be able to judge and handle situations well enough due to the many experiences in life. I have once read – Age is a high price to maturity. Doesn’t that mean that one will be matured as he/ she gets older? Or…did I understand it wrongly?

From time to time, as I observe people who are very much older than me…I realized that my hypothesis is wrong. The recent incident which occurred slapped a fact into me, to finally understand that age is not an indicator for maturity – never is!

It is pretty disappointing to accept that fact especially when you have very high expectations. No, I’m not trying to sound matured here but I think I’ve seen enough to understand the fact above. It really does not matter how well you fare in exams, or how successful you are in your career. Because there are times when it comes to other topics in life, one fails to manage it the right way.

I think it’s similar to being a parent. Parents sometimes act immaturely with the thought that it’s the best decision without considering the child’s feelings. Why? Most parents think that they make the best decision just because they are much older. Mmm…I guess it falls back to – egoism.

Oh well! It happens everywhere right? In my case, what happened definitely made me change my perspectives in life. I learned the hard way but it’s okay. Life goes on….in fact, it begins to be much more interesting!

“Experience is the best teacher.“

What can I say but… “Kinky couple, hur??” Not a good way to get caught tho’

‘Bonnie and Clyde’ couple nabbed while watching porn
By FARIK ZOLKEPLI
JOHOR BARU: A married couple believed responsible for multiple robberies were caught off-guard — and redfaced — when police raided their home while they were enjoying a pornographic movie on DVD.

The 23-year-old man and his 30-year-old wife were enjoying their porn and getting “frisky” when police raided their home in Skudai at 2.50am last Thursday.

Police seized several items including 18 pornographic DVDs and weapons they are believed to have used in their robberies.

Finally! It took 47 freaking days to FINALLY arrive! We thought that the package was gone for good. God knows why it took so long for it to arrive but I’m sure glad that it reached my home safely! This package, completed my day by bringing a big wide grin on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! *BIG HUG*

I did not forget this blog. Never did Many asked, “Why don’t you update your blog?” First of all, I have been busy with studies and some personal stuff. Emotions have been moving up and down like waves. Up anddd down! Despite being in so much drama over the months, one thing that I’m still very thankful of is to have wonderful friends. They are my greatest gift to me this year. I’ve said that 2008 is the worst year but without these people, I wouldn’t have made it through. Guess what, it is November now!! They gave me nothing but strength, laughter and joy. A big thank you to all of you!!! *hugs*

Secondly, I don’t know what to blog. Heh….a very typical excuse huh! I was also thinking if I should stop blogging. Blogging is not everything about fun and pleasure but it comes with responsibility. Not only to others, but especially, myself.

If you have been checking out my blog from time to time, I’m truly touched But no worries, I will be updating soon.

Remember my Deustch freund (German friend)? He told me this today:

“Ask me to program, i would type
if (false) { return true; } “

Tsk tsk tsk… Haha!

…when translated to Bahasa Malaysia is said as “Ras dan etnik”

Okayyyy…I know about “etnik” but……ras??!!

ras = race???!!!

What sort of rubbish is this?

Google will be launching their new browser, Google Chrome (beta) in a few hours time. Unfortunately, it is only available for the windows platform. The Mac and Linux users will need wait for Google to come up with the other versions. One can read more about it the browser here. It is explained in the form of a comic book!! Only if user manuals and text books are in the form of comic boks, I will be more interested

For snapshots of the browser, check this out. Here is another write up on the browser from Google’s official blog.

Personally, I am very much eager to see what can Google Chrome offer. FYI, I am a Opera user since Firefox 3 kept on crashing (I don’t know why) and if you need to know, Opera rawks my socks! Nevertheless, I can’t wait to download Google Chrome to have a personal experience with it. *winks*

Nothing works better than a bitching and ranting session with the bestfriends. No matter how down or dull I can get, they are always there to cheer me up - instantly! That is why I love them, loads!
