well, it's so hard to upkeep with technology these days, i'm disconnecting myself lately especially when i'm back home. it was so different during the poly days where you just have to switch on the computer when you're back home.
2014 has past for nearly a month and this year, what i wish for would would be to be on time for work. this has been a freaking difficult problem that i have been encountering in all my life. so hopefully, i would be able to improve on this.
nothing much i'm wishing for except for the good health of my family and friends. now that i have a nephew in my life, i think he has taught me a fair bit in terms of learning. i do not like kids as i used to in the past, but they do bring people happiness as well as anger and sadness.
also, do hope i'll get out as much as i can in 2014!
more travelling, more reading, revamp of house or so.. it's about time to enjoy and work hard!
what i've become, 12:43 AM.
happy birthday granny!

i know things in life are more of less fated. the good, bad, happy, sad moments. it is important to learn in every moments in life, the meaning behind it. to treasure the good times. to learn to be strong for any setbacks that happened.
seriously, i never expected that it will have such a impact on me. never thought she'll need to go through it once again. let's just hope things will get better, and stay strong my beloved sis.
"..preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot"
met up with my cousins and we had dinner.. a nice short catch up with the youngsters. after that met our young cousin.. not direct in line but simply a very cute boy!
hmm, maybe i'm still living in denial.. part of me doesn't want to believe its all over. reality hasn't sank into my little brain. or was it me that doesn't want it to be absorbed? but yupz, looking on the bright side, i know that at least he's not suffering anymore. although i didn't get to see him today, but i'm glad i've made it to see him yesterday. and all of us tried making time for him during this whole crucial period.
i hope he didn't went off too lonely. that he knew that his kids were with him till the end of this battle. this new place that he's going.. it'll definitely be a happier place for him.
really relieved that my grandpa doesnt need the oxygen mask anymore. only using the normal breathing tube & was still talking to us just now.. condition really improve alot..
why? just received news that something happened to my uncle's wife. ok, shall not elaborate more but hope her condition will improve.. hope my uncle will be able to juggle with everything.
grandpa's fine, oxygen level was reduced.. praying that both my grandpa & "ka mo" will be fine soon. thank you girls for your concern..
illness, death are things that we can't avoid, that we can only learn & live through it.. "part & parcel of life", that's what they say.. how cruel, isn't it? that life still goes on the next day, despite of everything that will & has happened.
don't worry about me peeps, i'm fine. just suddenly being reminded that i should not take life for granted. and, quality time with your family is important too!
grandpa's in a serious condition, but finally became slightly stabilised. still needing the oxygen mask cos he has difficulties in breathing. i'm hoping for a miracle that things will eventually turn right. i guess cos things weren't so good during the afternoon so when everyone came, "feeling" in the environment was really low. which made us couldn't control ourselves. how could you be able to act normal when everyone that's coming into the ward was with red eyes? i hate that feeling. c'mon, why cant these people look at a brighter side?
really praying for a miracle... stay strong grandpa... you have yet to see me graduate from school! and also the father's day dinner that we're all waiting to bring you to when you get out of the hospital~!
- my parents with me - cousins who have grown up! all getting prettier & handsome~ with my grandpa!
wow, this yr's pretty busy with gatherings & visiting. but i'm glad it happen this way, which means time is fully utilised in a way.
met up with a gf from laos~ really happy to see her after hmm.. 4years? its beeen a really long time! glad there's still things to talk on, miss those days in laos!
more pics to be posted, wait till i get them on my hands~ hohoho. so did you have a great 2008 chinese new year? cos i did!
finally its over.. congrats to both my sis & brother in law.. ha. seriously not used to calling him jie-fu. but well, it was a smooth day yesterday with just very small hiccups along the way. end up i wenta take lotsa pics with my cousins during the dinner, like as if we're the star.. but we're the star's relatives, moreover its my pretty sis's wedding! well,it was really a one-time experience! with lotsa hard work coordinating the relatives. my cousins wenta help in bringing the relatives, did the popping of the poppers during the march in. and.. my sis's jie-mei really did a very good job.. they're really great! they helped alot in the wedding - reception, phototaking & even the programme, so thanks to all of u! & all my lovely cousins who helped. =)
