355/366: shine
so much has happen within my virtual absence, i'm sure everyone agrees.
2012 was like a bullet train to me, yet every moment was appreciated to the fullest.
moments of joy, tears, slack, work.
i'll be moving 2 times in the next 2 weeks, one just nearby, and the other abroad.
i'm so excited for new beginnings but in the same time, i will always cherish everything in the past.
there's so many photos to be screened, and stories/events/testimonies to be blogged about..
when 2013 finally arrives, may i have time for all those!
x
288/366: maybe
maybe it's finally time to not run away from this blog.
maybe it's fine that i deleted 170 blogs from my google reader recently, just because i need a time out.
and somehow because i feel that if the blogs i used to subscribe to really matter, i'll remember their link.... or to google their link, and i would subscribe to them again when i restart.
maybe it's okay to feel hurt from the way things are, and how some friends are. maybe it's true that we don't wake up everyday to please everyone.
maybe it's fine for me to mention here that i'm really blessed, and grateful to God at the end of each day, no matter what happens.
maybe it's completely normal to want to have less of an online presence.
and maybe, in the process of all the maybe's, and more maybe's: that maybe, once upon a time what my English primary teacher told me is true:
that maybe actually means 70% yes.

251/366: CFmakan
Went back to my high school's CF makan. It's an annual event, the last CF meeting of the year.
Was blessed to be able to share a short testimony on how I was transformed from an incredibly shy and fearful girl, to someone brave enough to stand and speak in public; on how the blood, sweat and tears shed while I served was worth it; and how I considered lives changed a complete joy; all this I thank God because it happened during my 3 years in CF. I closed off with a simple hope, that one day each one of them would leave high school with a testimony that God has changed their lives, small or big.
Paul then shared a message on Fulfilling dreams and hopes. It was so funny, he's an engaging speaker. And I'm just so blessed to learn from him :')
Eating, catching up with juniors/seniors/teacher: YAY!
Clearing up after it all: boo :P
-
Bathed, walked my dog.
Been able to chat with some people as I messaged them to help Like a picture for a contest on Facebook........ catching up is nice.
I'm walking down memory lane :'3

247/366: grateful
I spent quarters of the morning hours, contemplating, lashing my frustration/thoughts to my parents... whether or not to participate in an upcoming piano competition.
Until I heard the sound of the postmen's motorcycle engine, my heart was confident that mail was for me: and indeed it was.
My piano exam' results. Here. Now. Then. Wow.
My fingers quickly yet gently tore the seal open, and as I took out a thin pile of papers, surely it was divine that the first thing I read, was my result score in an upside down mode. The folded score sheet is thinner than the usual paper, hence see-through.
My heart skipped.
112.
........ Really, seriously, I got 112...?
For those who have no clue, for ABRSM piano practical exams: 100 is the passing mark. 120 marks merit, and 130 is the minimum for the ultimate beautiful distinction.
Months ago I set my goal to obtain distinction. Through this short period of 5 months from March to July (in fact just 4 + 1/2 months as I was abroad for 2 weeks, absent from piano practice).......... I was level headed in the beginning. Then I was distracted. This and that. After returning to Malaysia I began to run again. Time was running out. Big time.
Blood, technically. Sweat, literally. Tears, yeah.
Cash, out. Time, gone.
Having Asian parents, deep down I know that they are contented, but maybe not satisfied enough. I couldn't take it, but now I understood that hey, they probably know me better. And yeah they do.
Given less, or even zero procrastination, tiredness, and laziness; Given more time, discipline, and passion: I would have achieved my goal.
But during the crucial final week I realize I would gladly accept a pass. Truth be told, I wasn't good enough. Really, no joke.
The big "confirmation" came when I fumbled during the exam. During my first exam piece I had to restart as I failed to move on when my fingers stopped halfway through the first piece all a sudden. I blanked out. I couldn't continue. After the restart.... guess what? Same place. Same mistake. But I had to go on. I couldn't restart again. Too much to even ask the examiner.
Hence after skipping a few bars, I moved on. I won't go into detail regarding the other sections, but the main highlight was that after not sitting exams for close to 5 years (where before that I actually took exams consecutively for 6 years)......... the whole examination experience was so strange to me.
Cold fingers. Fast heartbeats. Over-caring of what the examiner is doing (major mistake).
Noooooooooooo.
I cried after the exam. Don't call me weak, it was just natural to.
But to wrap everything up right now, I'm so grateful. To God, for assuring me that I've passed since that moment itself. I actually dreamt of vaguely receiving my results (maybe failing), and when I actually heard more stories of my friends who failed their Grade 8's, I freaked.
Nothing matters now.
Not what I played, not the money spent, not the time invested, not the time wasted, not the worries....
But just a bucket of thankfulness to God, my wonderful supporting family, amazing supporting friends, and definitely not forgetting: my most current teacher (which I only started lessons with this March), who is also the best teacher I had so far.
It was a bitter sweet journey, I'll treasure it for the rest of my life.
Exams are so overrated especially in Asian countries, but maybe when we do it for the right reasons (a goal to achieve, a ground to stretch us, a platform to discover where we stand)........ then maybe, just maybe: Exams could be just a blessing to us.
Sorry for this immensely long, draggy post.
Hope it doesn't comes off as anything displeasing/negative.

242/366: 12345
Just finished writing this down. Planning to read 1 fresh book per week until end of the year. Ironically if we count Dec 31st-Jan 6th as the last week, then I would have read 19 books which would be my age then! Hehe.
Funny how as I grow up I read more non-fictional books. But also less time and passion to read compared to years ago, sadface. Anyhow, why 1 book per week....?
As the title is 12345, I'm here to share what I've been planning to do:
Every week:
1 book to read
2 (to be finalised)
3 occasion' photos to be fully sorted
4 days to exercise
5 letters to write
Why? Just because scheduling this will hopefully discipline me and pull me away from that stinky thing call 'procrastination'. That i will be forced to prioritise properly. To do what's important, not urgent. My health needs to be restored, thousands(boo, not exaggerating) of photos to sort, knowledge needed to be absorbed... And yeah....
Hopefully things will work out.
Can't believe it's going to be September already.
Other daily things that is harder to have a fix schedule: chores, practice, housecleaning, meeting people, music, family....... Woo! Life with schedules and without.

237/366: clothes
it was a fun day... dealing mostly with clothes.
today i spent most of the day continuing the de-cluttering process of my clothes.. and it's really time-consuming to try on some outfits, & look at the mirror to think whether i still need 'em... but really it's a rewarding process when i feel like i'm letting go of what i don't need anymore, and allowing other people that need/want them to be able to enjoy them!! :D i cleared my clothes months ago, but this time round it's a real clearing deal. now to think whether i should give them all to lessay salvation army or something...? (haven't tried SA before that's why), or should i ask my friends if they want some of the the still-good ones... like formal outfits, t-shirts etc? hmm... suggestions? ideas? stories?
still not done with them clothes, but will be finalising everything hopefully asap hehehe.
spent the night with mummy! quality mummy-daughter time..! went to Summit as she needed to print some photos using negatives! Summit has been revamped and it's stylish nice now!! we went to Salvation bookstore, and hanged around boutiques to kill time.
I tried this dress and it cost RM105 but I didn't get it.
Later my mum and I found real discount deals of other dresses.... And let's just say we're home happy.
Hehe.
Oh btw, convinced my mum to buy a book called "I Want To Talk With My Teen About Money Management"... Hahaha.
Mummy says I'll be a good mother next time but really, I doubt so, because I know how hard it is to stay sane as a mother!
*chuckles*
I talked too much today!!!!! Sorry!!!!

236/366: livestrong
I apologize for the crappy pic quality, hopefully soon I'll be uploading good quality pics again! No longer iPod..
Found this wristband I had since years ago. Can't remember when, and I don't know if "livestrong" has any other meaning.. But to me it's very empowering.
Wearing this for the rest of the week. Hopefully when I'm demotivated... looking at it will encourage me.
Life's a walk, a climb, a fight. Be strong because you have to.

232/366: dream
it's 1.27am and i should be running freely in dreamland.. but my tummy made empty urges... and i spiced up the weirdest supper combo ever! bak choy, milo, & a banana?!!
yolo...
XD
since last midnight i was dream-catching. every day this year i've been collecting tons of inspirations & had composed dreams (in my mind) during the free time i had.. & finally i'm penning down several small & big dreams that was always at the back of my head.
some are meant to be fulfilled by year end & some in the near & far future.
career-based. fun-based. passion-based ! wee.
one of them hopefully to be executed soon is my main blog.
blogging has inevitably been a part of my life since i was 14. there were years where i updated weekly, others monthly, and maybe even just a few times that year.
so much time, and effort, and joy invested that i can't give up on it. learned and grew. made friends thru blogging. had a friend who went around asking "so my blog is better than tziying's right?"
the blogosphere !
i used to blog about the casual things a teen would blog about, but entering "adulthood" and a sense of "maturity"... i'm now much excited to blog beyond "today... i this, i that" and all. nothing wrong about that, but there is more in my dreams...
determined to be followed up with my dreams.
support?

231/365: feast
Top 2: Korean set lunch!
Finally, 1st time trying out DaeJangGum @ Taipan! Worth it, only RM13 and it's filling to the core.
Bottom 2: Bazaar for dinner!
It's a bum that I've missed out the crowd. Yet the remaining stalls are still delish. Satay, lemang, ayam, apam balik.... Classic!
Yummy day.
The streets are half empty, safer to drive for an amateur like me, hehe.
Almost every time before I drive I seek God for protection.... amazing really because there were several "almosts" that I'm so grateful to have escaped!
My camera's battery charger is yet to be found!! The horror.
Distance is making my heart cry...
-
There's about 20 boxes waiting to be unpacked for keeps, throw, and give. Perhaps even sell. Remember my initial plan was to clear them throughout the next few months? Like 1-3 boxes per week?
That plan is SCRAPED.
I'll have to get it all done in 1 week! Or at most 2.
Because clutter is unbearable. And I'll need to move on from it all !
Woooooh. If only my camera is able to document the process :(((((
SelamatHariRaya, kawankawan.

229/366: bones
currently i'm lying on my bed, contemplating whether to continue sinking into the depths of this book, which i stole today. interestingly, i'm not that guilty.
the first chapter is already so painful to bear. such immediate revealing details, unlike the movie.
come, tell me my rm25 flats was a steal. comfortable, above all.
nobody will ever understand, but really, i can't wait to leave a place where i'm sinking.
deep down the drain.
or maybe into a pool of light.
either way, giving up seems easier always.

(15.08.12)
Collected my baby camera today, back from the hospital.
Can't wait to execute pictures my mind has been dreaming of. Distance really made my heart grew fonder.
Tried my first Chicken Foldover today! Yum Yums.
Extremely bloated after, sigh, my tummy needs time to grow back it's appetite.
Also, drove on the highway today.. Last time I did that was a long time ago. Malaysia is crowded with bizarre drivers!!

227/366: renewed
(counter clockwise)
1. Thank God I'm finally healed from random sicknesses I've had for the past 2 weeks! They happened consecutively but some overlapped which was like double illness? boo. I went to the doctor's 5 times in 2 weeks, which is more than the amount of me seeing the doctor in the past 2 years!! Say what.
Here's what it was (in order, somewhat): Neck stiffness, flu, one-sided head pain, mild food poisoning, sensitive bowel, diarrhoea and finally fever!! I've never experienced most of what I've mentioned, which made things weird. They sound not so bad, but I tell you I had to resort going to the doctor's because it was really unbearable.. *sniffs* Diarrhoea was the worst because i despise vomiting. Lost of appetite was terrible, so terrible. Plus side of everything is: I've learnt A LOT. Doctor told helpful knowledge, health is important, need exercise.... Proper sleep & food.. (mummy's grounding me at the moment to eat home cooked food)..... And also to be touched by caring family & friends. Plus being able to rest and talk to God more. Yay for no more sickness.
2. Wee wee wee, so this was my tweet last night, so 2 weeks ago my piano exam ended & I ended up sick.... So many things couldn't be done/ate. Caught pretty much Olympics and I will blog about it! Anyway... This tweet is me being excited about the rest of the year, I'm planning so many things to be done: music, photography and art to be enjoyed, books to read, people to meet, places to go, projects to complete, clutter to clear, family to knit, stories to be heard, stories to tell....... etc etc ! Soooo excited because hopefully i'll be creating what my head has been holding up: a jumble of surprises..... and dreams and desires. And, remaining gap year goals to be fulfilled ! Things may fail, but things will succeed too !
3. This book !!!! Thanks to my awesome friend Felicia Low which probably appreciates the same kind of books like I do... This book is hers, and I'm only at the beginning but it's good. I'm absorbing well. Some people tickle at the fact that I am not sure what I want to study yet, and I'm taking a gap year? But hey, this gap year is amazing and I really needed it. I'm on my way.... I'm not completely directionless, I just think differently at the moment. *coughs* :p
4. I am showing off my long fringe.
I am goofing around.
I am vain, sigh. I apologize.

Sorry for the long hiatus, y'all understand right? But hey, CLAIRE'S BACK ! :D :D

202/366: desperate
(20/07/2012, Friday)
the picture below is what's in front of me now. i'm guilty of floor mess.
'desperate' is the word.
i'm desperate for the healing of my neck
i'm desperate for me to play the piano better
i'm desperate for me to sleep earlier each day
there's a pool of inspirations and a beach of worries on my mind,
how contradictory
Claire, focus .

i'm desperate for the healing of my neck
i'm desperate for me to play the piano better
i'm desperate for me to sleep earlier each day
there's a pool of inspirations and a beach of worries on my mind,
how contradictory
Claire, focus .

201/366: oxymoron
writing/receiving cards make me happy.
does anyone gets excited with letters like me?
-
today i was fed up with 2 different customer service i received. guess it's a hard line to work in.... but i think that they should always service with a smile. not literally but technically.
-
drove around a few areas around USJ. bumped into a corner pavement, didn't see it coming.
pretty minor but still...
shocked. scared. shattered.
.....experience.
-
a break.

200/366: diptic
Tonight, if you don't have Diptic in your iPhone/iPod/iPad yet, go install it, because it's FREE! :D
for a week or something idk but i've just been so happy since ytd when I accidentally found out that it is free at the moment !
usually it costs $0.99 or $1.99 !
I found out about this app months ago and wanted so bad to get it because it could make the edges of images round, just like the previous post's image! but I didn't because my iPod is not jailbreak-ed and I have not... Purchase any paid apps yet..
Hence when this happened it's like CONFETTIS all over in my mind!
-
Also, check out my currently favorite photography apps that I really wanna share too!
1. Disposable:
free app, film-like feature! for instance, you'll have to take finish 24 shots to be able to "dispose" your film/camera then only you'll get to view the pics! super fun for me. pictures has film-like effect which is YAY!
2. Line Camera:
created by the same company that made the LINE messaging app, this camera app consists many pretty filters, and many frames which i seldom use! And all the hilarious LINE stickers or beautiful stickers too! pictures taken are in the Instagram-square size which I love :3
3. Snapseed:
another paid app which i downloaded when it was free! really blessed because i was also eyeing on it after hearing that it is good, and the price is $4.99 i think! got the shock of my life then lol. one favorite feature i adore is that it allows the centre focus(blur strength).. and actually load more cool stuff which i have yet to discover!
-
random post... today i endured backache. and a couple more weird things.
waiting for the post man waiting for a parcel im waiting im waiting the wait is excruciating ahhhh

199/366: worn
(17.07.12, Tuesday)
can you see past the weariness in my eyes,
will you take me by the hand and tell me that everything will turn out fine, like always?
in a world so judging and harming,
will you remain trusting me, and will i likewise?
-
not drinking enough water = weird faeces .
weird sleeping / sitting position = back ache .
excessive durian = tummy ache .
abnormal crave for tomyum, prawnmee, & kimchi = unsatisfied taste buds .
-
every night i do have something to blog
but ive been waking up the next morning instead
get it?

195/366: see
(13.07.2012)
i hope the picture doesn't scare you as how it somehow scares me
regardless of how physically weak i feel, my mind has been very actively collecting inspirations :
through learning from incidents
through passionate people
through remembering dreams ;
2 Fridays from now i'll be meeting my London examiner
there's a set of things i'm incredibly anticipating to do after that
these last days are gonna be intense
i can't slack anymore
i wanna enjoy these last moments
to really breathe playing the piano
to be fine staying at home
and rejecting or postponing outings
to eliminate distractions
to fall in love with the mundane black and white keys
to seize the journey
and to not focus too much on the destination
guess i'm a little dramatic
it's 2 a.m.
