That Day, I kissed my dad.

Happy Father's Day!
It is Sunday in this year the Father's Day lies on. I have no present to give to him, but I thought it would be great if I can give him a surprise by a simple hug and kiss. I have attempted to do so since I woke up but since dad looked so stern all the time, it's kinda awkward to approach him suddenly and he might treated it as an "attack". hahaha. I was trying to find some chances. After coming back from breakfast, I knew that my dad was going out to work in the afternoon. Hmmm, that might be a great opportunity for me to surprise him before he went out!! So when he was tidying his stuffs and was about to go out, I pretend to speak to my mom and pretend to be around, sitting on the sofa, tidying my books, waiting for the right time to come. Heart is beating fast. At last, he picked up his shirt, wore it on and turned around to take his wallet. I quickly woke up from the sofa and caught him, hugged him from the side and two kisses on his cheeks, wishing him Happy Father's Day and may him drive safely.


He cracked jokes on me after that! I am happy and he is happy. So nice. Then when I stepped into the kitchen and my mom seemed to witness everything, I hugged and kissed her too, before she manage to say, " Why is that only for daddy!?"  haha. That night, my dad looked less stern and he talked a bit more to me. Isn't that lovely? Although the action has passed but the energy of the action returned to I and my dad and it will be stored in our memories and affecting us since ever. That's the power of karma.

Many times, when we try to do sth that we are unfamiliar with, there is always mental struggles which i shall call it "pre-mental syndrome" whatsoever..haha..What i meant is, there're always whispers around my head which makes me struggle between doing it or not. e.g. The idea of suprising my dad, my egoness arises and will say," Don't do it. It is so paiseh lah. Forget about it lah." Or maybe I'll hear, "Haha, so funny! You'll be laughed for doing so. Pointless." But when I find the strength to turn of the button of those whisperers, and clear in mind that, this is a good act. And I just wanna show my dad how much I love him. And if i don't do this, I'll be thinking about it or regretting it for the whole day. Then just do it. haha. All of us got overwhelmed joy by overcoming my egoness and not to be fooled by it. So, just do it when you believe it is something right to do. Don't be fooled and controlled by negative thoughts. It's not the thing that is so hard it's the whisperers that is hard to be overcome.

Although he may not be a perfect dad, he is my hero. I will remember the promise of unconditional love. Complaining will not make a change but one positive thought will. 




Happy father's day. When you have a chance to love someone, don't simply lose it.

Swimming lesson

So, here comes my first swimming class this morning, thanks to Xian who introduced her teacher to me. =) Swimming is always a relaxing sports. When I'm in the water, it feels like nothing can really worth my thinking any more. I'll just have to breathe in and breathe out, and with each stroke feel the force by the water which push me forward.


The first important lesson I learned about breast stroke is about rhythm. Ngek ngek, so I guess I had breast stroke arrhythmia (XD) before I really learned about the rhythmic thing today. Just like what Teacher Lily said, everything has its own rhythm. Breast stroke has no exception as well. It carries a four beat in which you do the steps one by one: Bend, kick, straighten, and blow your breath. After blowing out then you breathe in again and then start the whole new cycle. She then further said, "Everything in the universe has its own rhythm. This is the natural rhythm of the universe and that's why you see the sun rising up in the morning but not at night." I kept on nodding my head because this is so true~~ Sometimes many wrong things could happen if we lose our rhythm of life; We want to play games when we study. We watch tv when we eat. We wake up at night when it is time to sleep and we sleep when we suppose to wake up.  Haha. What a life disorder we have!


Not only physical disorder we have, we also somehow suffer from mental ones. We think of this when we're doing that and we think of that when we're doing this. Our "soul" were always not in the place where we're suppose to be at the present moment. Sometimes when we encounter a serious problem, we can even carry the problem in our head for 24 hours with us. To think about it over and over again when we're eating, resting, sleeping although we can't figure out a solution. Hence there is a Chinese proverb goes,


哭有时, 笑有时


分别有时,相聚有时


寻找有时,失落有时


悲伤有时,欢乐有时

Most of the times we tend to be over-worried or over-reacted to a problem which is not necessary. Sometimes it does not matter how heavy the glass of water is, what it matters is how long you have hold it with your hands that makes you feel tired. 

When you know the technique and  rhythm of swimming, then you can swim easier and faster. Just as when you know the correct way to live a life, life wouldn't be too harsh to you, because you know how to work with life. :)

Carolicious~~

Reading my friend's post about food gives me the urge to post something about food too. And more particularly, it is those kinds of food which you can only or mainly have it in Msia which I want to write about. Back to Malaysia for a few days, my parents have started to help me to hunt for food in Cheras!!! It is a luxury for Malaysians for enjoying the food all day with affordable price, whereas in UK we'll normally have to cook our own dishes to save some money! Heheh, so what I have eaten in these few days after A year not eating them????

1. MOM'S COOK!!!!
Mum's cook is always the best. No artificial colourings, no preservatives, no artificial flavourings, and FULL OF LOVE. I miss her cook soooo much! And one of the target during this summer is to learn her secret recipes in cooking so that I can cook equally good food in UK next time!

2. Pan meeeeee~ ~
The special noodles in soup, with the typical fried anchovies, mu4 er3, China mushroom slices( my favourite), and bayam on top. Pan mee can never taste better in  Malaysia! And pan mee plus eggs ( with semi runny yolk) tastes even better~~
I have just tried the pan mee in the nearest restaurant, and i shall go to taman connaught mei yi and giant to taste the super delicious pan mee again! XD

3. Hakka meee!!!
KL hakka mee is one of my most favourites!!! FYI, I have been regularly eating the hakka mee in a stall in KL ever since I have memories about my childhood! Of course, it is also my dad's favourite, that's why he's bringing me to there frequent than any others. Despite the lack of cleaniness of the surroundings, the stall is always busy with people and the taste of it is so unique that it is absolutely incomparable to the other stalls selling hakka mee. It may not be the most delicious one but it has the most 怀旧的味道。Sorry, no picture shown. I should have really taken a pics after million times of visiting~

4.Nasi lemak
If you don't know you're definitely not a Malaysian. Saving my saliva, it's simply a nice meal that I won't miss out.

5.. What else?? It's Wednesday = Taman Connaught Pasar Malam!
Wow, this is the longest night market you will see in Malaysia simply because it is a combination of supermarket + garment store+ food court which makes up the rows of stalls of three roads length. My dad and mum brought me to there tonight and because they so sayang me and since it has been a year i last visited pasar malam, I have got 6  t-shirts, a pair of slippers, a pair of Crocs ( because I seriously don't have any nice shoes at home T.T), two bath towels, and some Food: Taufuhua, taiping Char kue teow, Soya milk, Apam, and egg tarts! When the time is approaching nine, the place get overcrowded that my dad started to get crazy and wanted to get out of it. Thx dad and mum! ^^

6. The future targets.....ngek ngek ngek~
- Kajang: Satay, 辣汤
- Bah kut teh!
- Ba zhang ( tomorrow)
- Wantan mee
- STEAMBOAT
- Secret recipes ( I shall try every single piece of cakes in SR)
- Mei yi pan mee and yee mee
- Malay food and kuih
- Ice creamssss
- Cincau and Cendol
- Ais kacang
- Kambing soup
- My grandma's cook

And I think I need more veges. Ironically, I'm lacking more fibre compared to the time I am in UK. I started to experience constipation now. but it is kind of hard to get sufficient vege when you're eating outside food. hmmm~~

The list is increasing. The rate of growing fat is increasing too. Okay, erm, my philosophy is: Go on diet, after I have eaten them all. haha! Enjoy the summer!!!

H.O.M.E.~~

It is the first time I was officially being "picked up" in the airport.
I gave hugsss to my dearest family whom I have not hugged for a year.
I gain the smiles from them whom I have never faced for a year.
I picked up the hands I have not hold for a year.


Although sometimes I am sitting silently listening to the adults gossiping about their problems, I enjoy to be with them.
After the dinner, I took the ang pau from my dearest grandpa who as promised has kept it for me for about half a year. For the first time he broke the his silence and spoke so many words to me! If I were not wrong, when he ended his words, his eyes welled up with  tears. I was so surprised and touched that time, and I caress him and said we'll yum cha tomorrow!

I know I am back to my home now. =)

一个有趣的故事

稍微阴暗的下午。
在Greenwich的公园入口。五个人。
寻找着Meridian Greenwich 的踪迹。

有人骑着脚踏车。儿童在嬉戏。狗儿在玩乐。
而我们都不知道到底那条重要的格林威治线到底在哪儿~~
跑去看布告栏。啊呀呀!原来它在公园的中间。
那是很广阔的公园。眼前有三条路!每一条都看不见最后的终点在哪儿。
要走哪条才会到达呀?

A(wen): 走这条啦,这里比较多人叻。。
B(dudu):啊?为什么不是这条?这条路吧。。啊呀呀那个狗很cute~~
C(kenny):喂!不是叻,地图上指的是大路来的,所以应该是有车过的这一个~~ 
A:可是这一条好像没有什么人酱。。
B:而且要上山坡er!

五粒人最后听取了C的意见,上山坡去了。

听了这短短的对白,突然觉得真的好有趣!
当我们走到了人生的十字路口,影响你的决定最深的因素,会是朋友,社会,你喜爱的东西,还是你眼前所见的数据呢? =)


=题外话=
A(续):aiya,为什么carol和epping没有出声的?
D (Epping): 啊?(blur blur~)就跟你们啊!
E(Carol):因为我觉得条条大路都通罗马。。
A:CArol一定是根据数字的,ngek ngek ngek ~(奸笑)


你看,我又中chiam了,194啊,你的名字真的害我不浅呢。

=有感而发篇=




我们的心里面
总是憧憬与追求另一半的幸福
我的社会总告诉我
什么是大男人 小女人
为什么 我们不能化为童真的小孩
享受没有爱情的自由与幸福?

为什么社会告诉你 Iphone Ipad 是最好的东西
人们就想要拥有它
人们最想要的到底是最好的东西 
还是被社会大众认同的价值呢?
为什么最先进的科技
永远填不满人们的欲望呢?

为什么 社会喜欢美女
我就一定要觉得体重有压力,眼睛小不美丽
为什么我要让社会去决定我的决定,
去决定我的价值观呢?

晚安咯。=)
