Sher, Alicia & I. We hung out in Pappa Rich @ SS15, with a surprise cake to celebrate Alicia's belated birthday wee ! Hilarious moment when Sher and I didn't know how to use a lighter, therefore postponing the cake session. & after where Paul and I had a hard time lighting the candles too ! Hahaha. A good catching up / chatting session. Anyway, dear Alicia, you're 19 now ! May you have a fantastic year ahead,...

Such a cute and creative thing to do right ? Hehe. My youngest brother did it with the leftover Arrowhead (ngaku) ! In fact he even did a whole series of words linked with it ! Hahaha. His creativity amazes me. I have so much hope for this generation, really. Would you believe in the little ones too?...

Spent 2 hours cutting the stem, and removing the stems of the above called "ngaku" in Cantonese. While working on it I was watching Titanic with my youngest brother. This movie never ever fails to make me tear up at almost every scene at the end, always leaving me a feeling that I have to appreciate everyone in my life so much more, because I am blessed. And so are you! Also, to never despise anyone poorer or richer than...

Had some quality time eating dinner with my younger brother and my dad at a Mamak near our house! I can never express my love for Malaysian food. The grass is always greener at the other side, but the food is always yummier at this side ;)  - Malaysians, please always remember your roots. No matter where you attempt to migrate, from the core of your heart you shall always remember that you are still grounded to this...

My first debit card. Went to HSBC to bank in some money today. I pondered a while. I'm growing up. I need to manage my finance. I cannot just simply splash my parents' money. I want to earn (or get) money, not for the love of money. But just so I can use my own money, to spend, for my education, and to shower the people I love with gifts.............. Does anyone out there share the same thinking as me? - I am grateful...

Malacca is an AMAZING tourist site, I'm so sure. Due to tiredness/laziness/lack of time we did not really managed to visit much places, yet with what's able: we ate fantastic food, had funny walks, and bought stuffs that made everyone happy ! Jonker street is like shopping heaven, ohmyyyyyy. I have to have to have to have to go back to Malacca ! And the next time I do, I'll prepare proper (and comfortable) tourist outfits:...

1st day of Chinese New Year. My family travelled for the first time during CNY, and it ended up becoming an amusing road adventure. We were heading to Malacca, then the car had some issues on the highway. Ended up having to have our car tolled (as you can see the picture shows us enjoying our first toll ride together, ever), and to leave our car in a Senawang workshop, thence renting a...

This year's Chinese New Year reunion dinner was different. For the first time in my 19 years of existence, we went out to a restaurant to celebrate, instead of staying home and enjoying tons of home cook delicacies. The absence of my late grandfather (for the first time ever) during Chinese New Year really makes a difference. I miss him. I miss him so much. But nevertheless, I know he's in a better place, and that he shall...

Hola! So basically I've worked today, and will be working tomorrow for a super random job (yes, only 2 days). Telemarketing.  It was a random opportunity, and I accepted it for the experience. Got reminded by March 2011 where I got my first full time job (or any job ever) by working at Maxis, as a Credit Control Analyst, to call up customers who has overdue Broadband payment. I actually went through more training...

The above depicts what my day was like. The girl is me: on one hand I hold a broken heart of my close friends', and on the other I hold a question mark as I don't know what in the world the heart breaker intentions' is. Whatever his intention is, I so don't agree. My legs are quavering upon the shaking sea, as I stumble back and forth between the harsh realities of life. Still, the bright sun shines upon me; reminding me...

Welcome to ze messy chamber of Claire. As you can see, it's about 6 something now.. and my room is still messy. The plan to clean it up since morning, has only amount to 5% success. I'm a typical OCD person... if I clean, I'll clean till every part is perfectly fine. If I don't.... I'll just leave the room until the time necessary to enter (bed time). Such a bad habit right? Okay, 2012 is a year where I must break it. Happy...

What is your passion? Or what do you perceive to be something worth the fight for? "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:22 - This morning, my beautiful friend in the picture above made this recent picture I took to be her profile picture. I posted " too much joy when a picture i capture turns out beautiful ! :') " as my status then. Because it's true, I really find joy in...

January 15th, 2012. Going to Sunday Services remind me of how Great God is. Sometimes it's hard for me to talk about it, but most of the time I'm hyper, happy, jumpy, delighted, blessed; and it's all because of the greatness of God. As real as I can guarantee, Jesus is real and He definitely wants to have an intimate relationship with you. Not being preachy, but just being honest about something that I am assured of ! ...

Spend the whole Saturday afternoon baking cookies for Chinese New Year at Carolynn's. With her mum, aunt, and herself ! A delightful experience as I don't really bake in reality. It was fun being the oven timekeeper, and it was funny when our first batch of cookies turned out differently than expected. From measuring ingredients, to mixing, waiting, slicing, baking.... everything was fun to me. I shall bug my daddy to buy...

Today, I sold books with Paul and a bunch of college mates: Double parked for a few hours(as much as I dislike committing a minor illegal act)(dedicated ex-legal studies student, heh). Because apparently when we reached at 7 early AM, the whole stretch outside college was parked by cars! Le sigh right? Unbelievable? Anyways... I was having an amusing dream... till my house phone placed directly beside my bed rang! Paul...

Today I received my 1st and final award from Taylor's. I'm immensely grateful for all my lecturers who have helped me throughout the 7-8 month journey last year, especially the lady in the background! She's my economic lecturer, and honestly she cared for me in ways that I did not expect. It was such a joy to see, hug, and talk to her today! I couldn't have done it with the best class I could ever ask for! M3 !  Sigh,...

"i turn the music up, i got my records on; i shut the world outside, until the lights come on..." i'll be so cold today without coldplay. i'll be so emotionless without music. i'll be so empty without Jesus. i'll be so dark without self-control. i'll be so boring without confidence. suffice to say, Coldplay made me smile today (along with a truckload of other bands on a daily basis); i search for music according to my mood,...

2012, a resolution is to take care, cherish and love my pets more. My happy old dog, HappyG!  Random story: As a kid, I used to long for a dog. My parents would not buy me any, so one day I wrote a letter to Jesus(funny right?), asking Him to please give me a dog for free! I even drew a picture of myself, my house and a dog in it. Many years passed, I had a Labrador retriever, a shih-tzu mix, a pariah,...
