Mei

As I thought that this would be just another sucky working day for me, it turned out to be an interesting one indeed. Being a "banana", I can't speak or write Chinese, what more knowing about the significant meaning behind my Chinese name, Suet Mei.

According to my lady boss, Mei, besides meaning "Mei Hwa", the blossom flower that blooms during winter, it also meant that when times are tough, I get tougher. It's because the blossom flower who blooms during winter, will actually blossom more as the weather gets colder. And so she asked me, is it true, as in does it apply to my life?

I said, I guess so. Going through so much in my life eversince I was young, and when all along I just complained and complained asking God why is he so unfair to me, I guess I begin to realize that all that I've been through actually does make me into a stronger, tougher person now. So yeah haha, the name does suit me indeed.

And all along I've always told the boyfriend that I don't think our kids would actually have Chinese names as we are both Chinese illiterate, but now I really want them to have a really meaningful one.

And then later on after work as I was taking the Lrt, I met this elderly woman, who was actually Italian. She was looking at the signs, probably confused to which platform should she be in. After I directed her to the right way, she started to chit chat with me. She told me that she was 57 years older than me which would make her urm.. 78! And she's travelling on her own! Hoping around from hotels to friend's houses. Darn respect her-La.

Begin to talk about how safe is it to be in Malaysia, how lucky we were that we didn't have a quota of how much electricity or petrol that we can use like how they have it there. But then again her accent was quite heavy and she didn't speak that fluent english, I'm not sure if they have the quota thing for electricity and petrol because they are given it free or it's just because the government wants them to save? =__=''

Also, I couldn't help it but to think to myself if only my mum was still around. Oh how I would love to have her around still when she's 78! I would be.. urm.. bout' 45 then! And proly have kids that are bout' 20 by then.. And if only my mum would have the chance to travel to more places as she's only been to like urm Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong..? Oh well.. =)

Anywayzzzzz I took a couple more of pictures of my new hair style last night before heading out to De' Canters again as every other week. I washed it! Yeah still flat-La but blow dried it a bit so it's looking a littleee bit better than the last pics-La.

Better?

Cut-ed

I CUT MY HAIR!

hahaha yes I did! Actually almost half the world knows it already-La coz' I've been calling almost everyone eversince LOL.

Nothing much to talk bout', I'll just let the pics tell. But do mind the sucky-ness. Of my face, not the hair as I have yet to find the correct angle to take a pic with this new hair. And besides, I rebonded/straightened it so it's kinda flat. Took the pics a day after I cut it and can't wash it yet, or for another 2 days or so! And PLUS, I went for a bbq right after I cut it too. Newly straightened + BBQ + Not washed = SUPER DUPER OILY, FLAT HAIR THAT SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN WINGS!!! hahaha. eh imagine I don't wash it till chinese new years then I come to your open house LOL.

Disney Malaysia

Haven't been posting as there ain't anything interesting at this phase of my life right now. As most of my friends are back to school, I'm, what else.. working. After my dreadful month in 1u, and swearing to not go there anymore for at least a year, I'm working there again. For another month!

Anyway went to NiuZeXui, the NZX place at Ara Damansara. Saw ads bout their "Disney parks" there so asked sis to go since my niece Val is obsessed with anything Disney-ish. Quite nice-La. Felt like urm.. Disneyland Malaysia LOL.

HSM's stage.

HAHAHAHA!

2009

It's a whole new year again. With a blink of an eye, a year has passed by. If someone would have asked me if 2008 was a memorable year for me, I really would not know how to answer. And so, I spent this past few moments before I fall asleep, trying to think what memories did the year 2008 brought to me.

Firstly, I would say '08 would be the year that I would always remember. It was the year where relationships were broken, and healed. It was the year I had the most regrets, but learned to forget. It was the year I was most sad, but at the same time, happy. It was the year I lost my mum. But knowing that I lost her not to the hands of the devil, but she is now rejoicing in heaven, brings peace to me.

Her death has brought sadness, regret, and bitterness to the deepest of my heart. I was not only sad, but torn apart, realizing that I'm motherless. I was regret over every single of my action, what I had and had not done to her. I was bitter. So bitter towards my father, thinking that it was all caused by him. But I learned to forget. Still learning.

Apart from losing my mother, it was also the year where we almost lost my niece, Valerie. 15 minutes was how long we thought she was almost gone. Knowing that she is asleep now in the room beside mine, brings the utmost happiness to me now.

Overall, 2008 was a year that reformed my life. I hurt, but now I have healed. My siblings, aunties and I grew closer. Little Val and I are very attached. My cousin in Aussie and I are keeping in touch after all the years. The boyfriend and I are doing better, but not in the case of the mother-in-law lol. And lastly, relationship with my father have, I should say, improved. In a way that we're at least talking. And as for my friends, I still have the craziest, wackiest, funniest, most outrageous bunch of friends that I love so much, may they be close, or far.

And how I celebrated my new year's countdown?

Hiding under table.

Was actually at Curve with some friends and was hiding from all the yucky foam thingy that I just hate so much! It gets me all sticky and icky. yuck. And actually got irritated with the whole countdown thing. Couldn't get why everyone would not just stay at home, have a romantic dinner, watch a movie and make love all night long (my dream countdown =p ), instead of getting all squashed up at like the curve, with the intention of watching fireworks that are most probably visible only at one particular spot, getting drowned with yucky foam that people waste money buying, they're just soap foams! Plus getting stuck in heavy heavy traffic and taking the risk of having a mental breakdown from finding a parking! Yea, I am getting older.

With Brenda

And the boyfriend

After curve, headed down to Kl, to the Golden City condo with Kai, on a rescue mission. Haha, sorry, sorta like an inside joke to those who understand. And ya, I just drank coke all night long. Really!

Happy New Year guys!
