You aint old, but cool!

Did I ever tell you that I enjoy the time I spend with people double my age, or triple?

If you happened to read this, and you are above 40, I have to say this to you

"You ain't old, but you are really cool!"

Sometimes, I prefer to spend quality time with them rather than people of my age. Let me tell you how cool they are. They have such beautiful and captivating stories, better than any movie or drama broadcast. Stories about them, about how they overcame obstacles in life, a series of events you and i might not even experienced or heard of.

If you happened to have this golden opportunity, dont let it slip away. Listen attentively, you will realise there's a message lies beneath every story they shared with you. It might help you to understand how certain thing in life works, or prepare you for the obstacle you are about to face, or prevent you from making a huge mistake in life that you will regret in future, or teach you to be wiser in making decisions.

There is a famous Chinese saying '我吃盐多过你吃米'

I'm blessed to know many extremely awesome and interesting cool people!

Marmee and Dardee, you two will always be the top on 'The-People-I-Love' list!

You two are always young at heart, in actions, in speech and in everything you do, that's the reason why your children stickily stuck to you, hahaa!

You two have much nastier ideas and creative ways to carry out things than we do.

You two know how to love, so much more than we do.

Love you, my cool marmee & dardee!

Sounds familiar?

I was at a book store. Drooling over the food books pathethically. Then, overheard a conversation between a mother and her son and daughter.

Mother (M), Son (S), Daughter (D)

D: 妈... 咪..~~
M: 哇! 你不要越叫越恐怖!
D: 妈咪, 我要买书。
M: 嘿呀! 越叫越恐怖! 多少钱? 你去告诉爸爸...
S: 妈咪! 我要买这本书。 我自己有带钱买书。
M: 哇! 好! OK OK...

I almost laughed out loud, hahaa! I was afraid if I peep at them, I'll burst out laughing. This lady's respond was so funny, the way she say '恐怖' was super hilarious!

That scene sounds familiar to you?
It is for me, at least. My sibings and I were in this situation before for many many times when we were young and money-less. I miss those times. (Especially when we wanted to get comics, hahaa!)

药

Taken from http://vi.sualize.us/tag/medicine/

药，当然是苦的。若是甜的，每个人都当糖吃咯。

This is how I persuaded my little sister to take her medicine, hahaa!

"I have never actually encounter the difficulty of taking medicine. Which according to my parents, I love medicine since I was a child. A weird kid I am, hahaa! Well, in a nicer phrase, I am an obedient patient."

Nice Combination

Meat. Bone. Oil. Skin

Last uni sem break

If I were to sum up my whole semester break, a word is powerful enough to describe it- Great!

The Sutanium Day
My holiday began with ice skating in conjuction to celebrate a friend's birthday right after the last exam paper . First time ice skating was really scary. Imagine the first time you learn how to take control of a bicycle, learn to depends on the only two wheels that touches the ground with faith. The first five minutes was monstrous. haha! Thanks to my two 'sifu' who generously spared their fun time to teach me patiently by my sides and I managed to stand and skate a little without any support. Yeah!

The dinner was absolutely great. The conversations and laughters were good. I laughed so much, especially when we shared our public bus experiences. Hilarious! Oh, not to forget that MayShing actually 'eats' (for those who know her, you should know what I mean here =P )

Family, Relatives & Friends
Spending time with family, relatives and friends was very good. Get to know them better through common chats, over a meal, casual hang out, visitation and etc.

Us, the crazy six were after the same drama, again due to someone's interest, sat at the common comfortable place talking some nonsence, laughed over some idiot jokes, shared our experiences, I always love and treasure those moments although sometimes our conversations can be super super crappy, hehe! 'It' runs in the family =P

Healthy Lifestyle
Due to some extra and unwanted weight I gained 2 days after my arrival at home, I went on a quite consistent exercise basis for only a week. LOL! I felt healthier of course, at least that's how my brain took the efforts into account =)

Badminton Phobia
I had a badminton session with my friends. Good in the sense when I get to move around and kick out some fats; bad when I got bullied by my team mates. They were so happy everytime they managed to fly the shuttlecock and land on the mong cha cha player- me. Fun, yes.

Planning Retreat
Never in my life discussions can be so interesting and intense. Still, I'm absolutely loving it. I have always been hoping that we could discuss those issues to the extend where we can have a clearer view of where we are heading and a more concrete measurement. Finally! Praise Him!
I do miss those moments. Thanks to everyone who made it there and kept us in prayer.

O yes, not to forget I learnt how to play a little majong there, hehe!

Dilemma
Speaking of semester break, that, was the last uni sem break for me and my course mates. It also indicates the end is drawing near, another new beginning is about to start. Changes occurs all the time, I know. Yet, I think I engaged too much emotions and enjoyed every moment of my life so much that I did not realise. I will definitely miss these three years of uni life as a student.

When the next transition arrives, let us all begin another fresh new chapter and ask God for wisdom and be our guidance, as always. =)


By the way, try this 'sharp butt tomato' (I dont know the name, hehe!), it taste explosively delicious.
I'm so gonna hunt it again, swallow tonnes of it and cheer my messy mood up.

Dear Bernice

Dear Bernice,

You have brought me happiness, joy and laughter during my stay in Johor. Thank you so much! You are such a sunshine to everyone! I love you always! *HUGS*

From your aunt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This wonderful chubby little girl has brought so much joy in everyone's heart. She is not the only chubby little fellow there when I was in Johor. I miss Benben, Amos, Celine, Lele, Daniel, Eric, Asher... SO MUCH!!!

Below is a conversation between Bernice and me in Mandarin.
[I have tried my best to remember everything we said]
I: Hey Bernice!
B: (looking at me shyly) *Ran off one round, came back and sit there again*
I: Where have you been?
B: 'Gai gai'. (Eng: walk walk) *Ran off one round, came back and sit there again*
I: Where were you?
B: I went to work in Kuala Lumpur! *Ran off one round, came back and sit there again*
I: Aren't you tired, running up and down? Haha...
B: Noo...hehe! Also I brought Benben (her brother) along to Kuala Lumpur.
(the conversation continued)

What a kid!
First round- 2 words.
2nd round- 1 sentence.
3rd round- 2 sentences.
4th round- Tak habis-habis "blah blah blah..." Haha!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the first round of warming up on the first day, she's my good friend already, muahaha!

She would tell me how she'll cook fishes the whole night, asking me what kind of flavour do i want it, yet she will definately put chillies everytime when she literally 'give' me the fish by hand, haha... Benben would imitate everything his sister does. And we repeated every single same procedure again and again...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the tea ceremony at another day, Bernice kept sticking to my bro, holding his hand everywhere he went. Goodness! You really should have see how a kid can be such a 'sticky kid'!

The worst thing is that when my sister introduced her the idea of trading brothers. Without even thinking more than a seconds, she agreed to trade Benben with my bro. Haha... See!! This kid is so adorable!! Her mom told her "How can you trade your one and only brother without my permission?" Haha... She doesnt seem to bother much though... o,0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am so glad I managed to make it to my cousin sister's wedding in Johor. So much laughter and joy during the family reunion. I miss everyone so much!! Thank God for everything!!

I had a terrific weekend! Yes I did!
