Tricks- How to roll ur chips bag

Found this interesting... heheheh for u chip lovers..

突然好想你

一首令我感动的歌。
最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心 最怕回忆突然翻滚

突然好想你,你会在哪里....






五月天 - 突然好想你
词/曲:阿信

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚
绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今
终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你
带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们那麽甜 那麽美
那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们
还是要奔向各自的幸福
和遗憾中老去

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚
绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息
最怕此生已经决定自己过
没有你却又突然
听到你的消息

Counting my blessings

I can't wait to tell u all about my Hanoi trip. I count my blessings during this trip...............really.... . some of u going to peng san when I tell u all what happen...

One of us had arrange to book at (i cant remember the name) but end up the hotel owner give us Eden plaza without explaining to us . They pick up up from the hotel, and suddenly charge us for the trip from airport to hotel on the 1st day.

Turns out they over book and got 4 of us a 2 rooms at the hotel behind Eden plaza. (I can tell u the bed sheet is really dirty and my friend's don't dare to use the towel cos its dirty. I end up having to stopping touching and looking at the bed sheet, place the duvet set over the bed sheet (so rough and make me itch ) and sleep.

Early morning, got woken up by Jenny. Aiyo this jenny and beeling has forgotten to set the clock back by an hour and woke up early. They then decide to have breakfast and start walking around looking for hotels for standby case. Something prompted beeling to do this (I think its the spirit though she is not a christian, you will know why I said this later)

Everyone was complaining about the Eden plaza hotel, toilet flood lah, air con blowing black soots, etc etc. Beeling and Pat set into action and start negotiating for discount or refund... Per website information this is suppose to be new with elevators but we see no lifts. Well boss said no refund but a $10 discount plus free transport to airport for our trip back. Some of them change room.

The 4 of us had to move our luggage from the other hotel back into this hotel. Hmmm strange smelling hotel oops.. (am I complaining too much)

Boss told us to be back by a certain time for water puppet show.we went back early and suddenly was told the show was earlier and we have to get out own transport there (eh.. strange arrangement)...

The shock we had came on our last day when we came back from Sapa early morning about 6 plus or was it 5 plus am. There was no room for us. Jenny and a few of them went to check out the other hotel that Beeling ling and her check out that early morning (see thats why we said all this come with a purpose) to see if any rooms are available.

We insist to speak to the boss and the poor guy keep refusing until he can't hold on anymore and phone the boss. We threaten to wake up all the hotel guest.. During this time Samy discover something, the boss has overcharge us for a room for 4 nights (don't ask me why we never discover this earlier, I guess when the few of them paid, they were trusting the owner too much)

Jenny and the rest called back to say there is a room available in the other hotel..


The boss actually stay on the 5th floor and really take his own sweet time to come down. Saying there is a group that is leaving for Hailong bay on 7am and we can have the room later, we only paid 70% for the last day.. balblablala.. Pat swing into action to have he explain how he calculate the overcharging.. hmmmm.... finally he admit his error on the calculation.

Well we never take back the $10 disc cos he claim we use one of the rooms for washing up. Well if he wants to charge us, should have say so earlier on, don't have to use such little dirty tricks.. cunning man, 杀人不眨眼. When he came down from 5th floor, he still put on this smiling face , walking steadily down, he already expected us to make noise in my opinion...


The hotel that we move to later is pretty new and good service except we make a boo boo. early check in is consider a day and we need to check out by 12pm, any later will be consider another day's rate. somehow one of us misinterpret and .... when we check out at 5pm later we realise we need to pay double. manage to get a 50% off. Its our mistake so can't complain.

When we take the transport to airport later, the driver suddenly stop halfway. Gosh lucky vehicle never breakdown else if we miss the flight we sill be stranded till the next flight which is next Thursday I think.


Lesson learn:
1) never pay in full for budget hotel stay , always pay day by day. In case u need to change hotel u can always do so anytime.

2) Never go to Eden Plaza, 货不对半, boss is dishonest.
3) Everything must be in black and white, especially in a place where their English is not good, there might be miscommunication
4) Lord is always with us. If not for the last day of room non availability, we would never discover we are being double charge, if not for beeling and jenny waking up early, we would not have a backup hotel and can move in so quickly.
5) Oh ya blur me actually somehow left my shampoo behind one of this day and one of my friend who happen to use the room's toilet pick it up. And on the last day, somehow I left one of my stuff behind and my friend also pick this up ahhaha See people are always looking out for me. :)

The heartwarming touching moments

Better blog about this before poor pea brain of mine forgets it.

All this are in Sapa:

It was a cold xmas night with power surge. the 5 of us decide to have local food so went to the local market and have dinner in the cold market. (will blog on this in a separate topic, interesting )

Headed down to this cafe owned by a Australian(we assume cos he has a Australian accent), seems that some celebrations are going on. We figure out later these ang mos are throwing a xmas party for the local tribes kids. See the kids are so happy with presents . When power is back we all cheered. Thank god, else we all are gonna fr ooze to death when we sleep later.

The next day when we are having lunch at this place baguette & chocolate, as we left, we saw this foreigner teaching english to this local tribal gal. Seems that he is a tourist and he has made friend with this gal. How touching this is. I got a photo secretly snapped(ok they did notice it cos its was dark and I am left with no choice but to have the flash on) shall post the photo later back in this post.

Baguette & Choc has been giving back to the society as they train the locals here and recruit them to work......

Hmm oh ya after our visit to the waterfall we went back to the lake to visit and saw this same guy with this gal and someone else having fun by the lake. Can hear their laughter........................:)

There is hope still, this world is full of love...

I am bac!!! Down with flu

Back to reality.... My souvenirs from Sapa is a cut or was it an ucler on the tongue, a flu from Hanoi... hahaha.. (yes I can still laugh about this as usual. This is actually bad, cos people won't take you seriousl, opps)

Well it was a very tiring and horrible flight back since I was having a running nose with a sore throat and really tired. Woke up by the bad turbelences... heee hee

Was sms to dor at 1 plus am when I touched down. Complaining that her sms woke me up when I was sleeping in the cold room in Sapa. Gosh she isn't asleep yet. wonder what she is doing so late. Reach home, first drink I had is the lemon sip or whatever the name was the one produce by Pandaol for cold flu, went bath, blow my hair follow by honey drink. To and fro dor and I sms, she giving me some encouragment. Eh dor why u remind me of sad things ah, when I am full of enthusiam and bubberliness.

finally 3 plus i raise my flag went to sleep. Woke up early morning, give my sis a hug and went back to sleep again till 12pm. Opps really flu.... cook porridge can't nelieve my first meal is actually porridge with pickled vegetables. thats the only thing i feel like eating now.. Went to see the doctor behind. eeeks, he seem to be in production floor, every patient 5 mins or less. gosh i wonder how he ever hear my heart beat with his scope, like acting show like this....

haiz the 2 docs near my place CMI ie cant make it. The one downstairs is cheap prety nice but medicine is too mild plus long queue. The one further which I went has better medicine but better watch out cos he always like to give antibodics. haiz this 2 doc cant make it.. think i gonna change doc. I am just too tired to walk to the plaza or go to cck edibur

Wishing everyone..........

A blessed Christmas.
Christmas a time to remember the birth of our Saviour. Ain't we glad because of him we are all savaed and we can call God Abba father .

I hereby thank each and everyone of ya for making my life a interesting one. Maybe got some pains here and there but its allright. We all need to go through some hurdles to make us stronger :)

Thanks to friends for being there when I need a ear. I may not see you always but u are always there when I needed you. Especially CK,WL,XW for always being there even though u are all caught up with ur own personal stuff, family. Feel like giving each of you a Bear hug now :)

Thanks to my leaders for guiding my steps, for the encouragement

Thanks to the xiaodis for making me happy by cracking funny stupid jokes.. hey i do enjoy them ya..

Thanks to all my lovely collegues and boss who make my life easier. I think we do have a great team.

Thanks to all other friends for being in my life, being part of my life. Thanks for your friendship. Sometimes do wish its a deeper friendship, if you are willing, I am willing. It always takes 2 hands to clap ya.. :) Again different personalities must be able to click.

Thanks God and Jesus for everything that I have. I am blessed...................... Have a Blessed Christmas...... wait till I am back,maybe I got interesting facts abt Hanoi and Sappa to tell u.................... tata

If you are thinking

That you are able to see all my secrets from this blog, sorry thats going to disappoint ya. Frens who know me well enough will know this blog is just part of me.

True secrets stays close to my heart, perhaps only very very close frens(you know who u are) will get to know some of them......

Afterall its personal stuff, why would I want the whole world to know right and what can the whole world do for me haha. I prefer to share my joy and happiness the occassionarily complains to u folks..

Hmm its just like if u like someone, would u go around telling the whole world that? maybe yes for you, not for me. As long as that person is happy, I will be happy.
只要那个人开心就好, sounds stupid ya? But thats just me, no point to force upon people right, if that person is dense, God will pry open his heart to know my heart. Otherwise its just not workable. Its takes 2 full individuals to create a reunion cos God make us this way :) . Its not finding a partner to complement where u lack. If u think finding a partner will solve ur loneliness, that is wrong, cos u will still be lonelly even after finding a partner. One must be happy with ownself first, full individuals first :) (I should tell my mama this, she keeps telling me u will be lonely blablablabla. well I am not going to get married for the sake of marrying for sure. I want to be a happy me :). Even if I married it will be someone whom i really like that I can live with and share my life with.. )

Some people say I am the straight forward kind, actually the truth is I am not. I will never ever reveal what I am truely thinking in terms of relationships. Other stuff like work etc yes, but not this. Confident in everything except this.


Even if I dislike someone, I won't go and curse that person. Well afterall there are all different type of people who make our life very interesting, creating joys, love, peace, sadness, hurt for us.

I am missing church today :( I think i hungry for god's words.No wonder I as so happily workshiping God in the church yesterday..hmmm..hungry spirit.... No choice when I come back then buy disc lor... who would be kind enough to bless me the 2 weeks of disc?

Xmas Presents for my leaders

I know I shouldn't be blogging. I should be packing or sleeping but guess I just didn't have the mood to pack (revenge maybe cos I didn't really blog for a long time except to whine here keke)

Readers, sorry for the whinning, sometimes just need to let go of a little steam ya. There are of cos happy moments but probaly its always easier to whine than to be thankful for all the happpy moments, I am just a normal human afterall.

Now back to this , below are pictures of the xmas I made for Tim and Karen.

The covers are so special cos its papers from Flair designs Christ theme papers.. And talking about this, I lost a stack of them. Knowing they are special, I kept it away on purpose and now they are in a too secured place that I can't find them haha..

Dear daddy god, help me to find them, I still wanan scrap about our CG ya..


hmm play with glossy accents on their names to make them pop out. Play with sticklers to make them shiine. so beautiful that i wanan to highlight everything with but that will be too much.

Pkay with distress ink on the yellow paper on Tim's cover.. so nice the color.. hehehe

Also make little pockets for them to put things in.. with christian them sayings. Mark and I can't remember the other phrase was where...

Coincidentally Karen's cover was with the phrase that I share earlier on . 1 corinthias 13:4-8, Maybe its not coincident, probably God wanna to tell me something. Lets see ya..

I wish I am a kid

Many a times I dreamt of my old house. The house which I am familar with, that I grew up in. I don't know if I am born there though. I will dream of the drain, the drain that I will stand by when rain comes. Why? Cos the ponds will overflow, and fishes will come gushing out through the drain.

What do I do, catch fish of cos haha. I still remember dad digging the drain, putting cement on it. Dad putting cement outside the house, dad building this and that. Everything is DIY.

If a picture of our house is shown on TV today, we are classified as very very poor. We aint rich honestly, not monetary rich. But we are rich in happiness. Really I am blessed with wonderful parents, wonderful siblings. Of cos bro didn't make things easy for me but really I rememebr the times when he was in primary school he do takes care of me, doting on me. My elder sis says when he was a young boy he is a nice boy, things only change when he goes to secondary school.

I do thank God for all that I have, a different childhood from most of the city kids.

I also remember when my mother will bring me and my sis to my grandparents house in Malaysia during school holidays. I didn't like to go ah gong house though, but i liek wai gong house. Closer to my maternal grandparents. Every evening , I love to sit by the wooden staircase and watching him pumping the keronsene lamp. The familar smell. hmmm there is no electricity no water supply.

How many of you have this opportunity to expereince this? I love this simple life. The kampung life where the chickens, ducks, goose reins. haha chasing after the chickens . Each evening, I will be asked to stay in doors why, cos uncle and grandpa will let out the dogs. Fierce dogs they are.

I only remmeber one friendly dog but the following year when I was there he is dead, bitten by a snake :(

I love the cocoa smell. yes Wah gong and uncle will dry the cocoa, they will also open the coconut and taking the husk. They go to tap rubber and make into rubber sheets. I only seen once or twice can't really remmebe the process of making it.

I remember the oil palms along the road when we have to walk this whole distance to wai gong house from ah gong house. Yes no transportation at all. But its ok we enjoy the walk. the long walk.....

I never go back there for many years ever since both wah gong and wah ma pass away :( Ironically its only after they pass away when we went back there to clean up, that I realise there are fireflies there. Yes I saw my first fireflies there severals years back...........oh how beautiful they are.

They are differnt from the ones that are in Kota tinngi btw. Its just beautiful.........


Tell u more about my childhood in time to come. Too many things.. I just wish I am back as a kid in Lim Chu kang..............

Here's the pictures



Here's the mass lot of xmas cards that I done.. simple ones.
Stamp, and then emboss with Utee, embossing powder . I like my UTEE.. so fun....


There are more which I haven't taken pictures, more customised one.. I simply was rushing my close and no time to take pictures

Love is patient, love is kind

Early morning wake up, go dentist. Then go to my collegues Shirley's church wedding. Thank God Elaine stay near me so took a ride from her and also thank god dentist is just at bt timah, so pretty near.


hmmm guess what. a Celebrity is her brother in law.. I never knew that.a bit surprise.. keke..

And well the whole weddding to me is so touching . I then realised this is the first church wedding that I attended ever since i accepted Christ. Before I never appreciate Church wedding find it boring, super boring. Now this is different I enjoy the whole process and find a new meaning to it.

I feel like tearing when the couple exchange the vows, how touching it was.
The verse they choose is

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails

Oh ya here's the card I made for her.. Hope she like it . a simple one..
Cover is 2 birdies (Not fishes ya), the stamp is from verve stamp. i stamp it on a red vellum and cut it out.

Inside is also a clear stamp titled "First kiss" from rachel miller i think.




放下、自在、随缘

要学会这点......

2008 is coming to an end

Isn't it scary that time passes so quickly. Before long, 2008 is coming to an end.
reflecting back, I think I didn't accomplish much..

See..
1) Mum is still nagging at me, cos I am still single (this one i can only cast my cares to the lord, anyone I kind of enjoy my carefree life now) ....
2) Still the same messy old me (this means I am still me :))
3) Did very few layouts... should have done more
4) Still slogging hard at work... Where is my promotion? (Trust that Lord will promote me ya)

Good part is
1) I finally serve in a minstry
2) Completed my Scrapboook design university course... yeah...
3) Did some layouts..
4) Still enjoying my work though no pay increment for 2 years.. liao no promotion..

So what is my 2009 wish.... I think I dont want to wish liao.... its terrible ya when u reflect back at end of 2009 and realise Nothing accomplished. I trust that Lord will guide me in my steps....

因为......所以

不是我不关心,是因为我不知道要如何面对,所以我装作不在乎。
不是我冷漠,是因为我不知道要如何表达,所以我显得不在乎。
不是我逃避,是因为我不知道如何是好,所以我装作不在乎。

不是借口,我往往在面对人与事时,不知所措,常常就装作不在乎。明明是关心,在乎的,却装作不在乎。明明是喜欢的,却装作不是。干嘛要委屈自己呢?是保护自己不受伤害吗?还是?有时冷漠不是无情,只是保护自己不受伤害。

一个人的我依然会微笑

突然想起这首歌......

作曲:Miyuki Nakajima 作词:刘虞瑞
 
如果想哭我自己会找地方 你不必担心我会弄湿你肩膀
走在街上到处是寂寞的人 我想谁都不要同情的眼光
受一点伤并不是可怕的事 人就是这样才会愈来愈坚强
谁叫男人永远比女人清楚 爱情它何时该收何时该放
你走吧 我不哭 无论多痛苦
你走吧 我不哭 就算会迷路
明天一个人的我依然会微笑 虽然它或许也是伤心的开始
爱情的轮回总是一次又一次 是悲是喜终将都变成往事
明天一个人的我依然会微笑 那怕早已没有人记得我名字
别问我为何执迷不悟的尝试 女人生来就多这么一点痴

无独有偶,Corrine May的一首歌的歌词是: Scars will make us stronger.应该是corrine may吧.

God hearten my heart, then the heart wont be broken, and will grow stronger, tougher, able to withstand all things...
