Annoying ppl!

I absolutely hate when ppl suspect something, then they go and try to decipher whatever it is that they suspect and in the process do stupid things then the first thing that comes to them they assume is the right answer!

IT's so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean who told you u were right? No one! But u still go around telling the whole world u figured out the mystery!

Love, friendship and boundaries

Recently everyone has been asking me about my perspective on whether there are boundaries between ' love and friendship' so i'm gonna answer the question once and for all...


I think that every relationship has its boundaries. The reason being to ensure that no one goes overbored and crosses the line. Love and Friendship is something that i believe overlaps. U can love in a friendship and there SHOULD be friendship when it comes to love.

Two people can be the best of friends and still Love each other without crossing the boundaries of a friendship. You might ask what boundaries are those. well, when the lines in your relationship have become blured I say you've pretty much crossed the boundaries. I'm not gonna go into the details of it cause I'll probably end up writting a book =)

Joshie says i'm not living in reality every time i tell him this but I truly believe with all my heart that this kind of friendship is possible. i call it the "lucas and haylie" friendship. (go watch one tree hill) these two people are as close as ever. they love each other completely yet they never crossed the lines in their friendship.

As for love, Like I said earlier there should be Friendship. I say this cause Friendship is one of the strongest if not the stongest bond of all relationships. With friends we try our very best not to offend each other we try and accomodate each other as well as be patient with one another. We behave more civilised arguing with our friends than when arguing with our siblings or significant other. We learn to respect each others privacy and not intefere where we're not wanted. All these are the most important fundamentals in any relationship and we learn it all from being friends. And so In love, if we can't be friends there's no point in it.

Take the word Girlfriend or Boyfriends for example. Two people start out as friends and then their feelings for each other grow deeper and they become a couple. the title changes a little but the word friend still remains in it. These people started out knowing each other as friends and fell in love with the friend that the other person was. If one or the other took a 180 degree change the moment they became a couple the relationship would be pointless cause that person is no longer the person that he or she fell in love with. Because basically they fell in love with their friend. Yes, the level n the relationship may change but the friedship will always have to remain.

So my answer is yes there are boundaries. as a couple u continue to respect each other as friends. You don not go crossing the lines as when you feel like it. And as firends U do not cross the boundaries of BEhaving like a Couple.

Bali!

As promised I'm here to tell you about my travels =) Well If you do not know, I went to Bali on the 2nd of July. My flight was at 4 something in the evening and I reached BAli 3 hours later. We were there for 6 days and 5 nights. Sun, Sand, surf, Hot sufers, good food, great bargains it was a true Holiday destination. The immaculate scenery sparked in me ( the pro city girl) a small desire to give up city life and juz retire in Paradise =p


On our first day there we juz had dinner and went to bed as we were all very tired. The next morning we woke up bright and early. The sun rises at 6 in the morn and we were up at 7. It felt like it was 10 a.m though cause the sun is so bright. so we had breakfast and then spent the day doing some shopping and visiting the beach. We had a difficult time shopping the first day though cause of the currency conversion. 1 ringgit is equivalent to 2600 rupiah so every time you we tried to bargain and stuff we would get confused. But it was kinda fun. We also visited a temple (most people in bali are hindu's) the Carvings were so cool!!! I mean the whole building was carved to the point where even the most minute detail captured ur attention.





The Temple (near Kuta Beach)




Over the next couple of days we went on a tour and visited many places. We went up to the KIntamani Volcano in Ubud it was a beautiful sight although not very clear. It was a little difficult to get an extremely clear view of the volcano from where we were cause it was starting to rain and it was very misty up there. The tour Guide said it was unfortunate for the bad weather, if not we could have seen the sun setting. Nevertheless it was spectacular. Oh, we also met a true mountain man up there. He was an elder from one of the villages near the volcano.






We also visited A lake. If I remember correctly it's called the Black Lake. We wre in Bali at the time when traditional festivities were about to take place, so due to that we were not able to go right down to the lake however the tour guide got us as close as possible. THe lake was gorgeous. The colours so spectacular it made you smile. IT's hard to explain but all i can say is it felt like at that moment life was so simple and beautiful and nothing could make you feel any happier at that point. It was truly a sight to behold.



The black Lake


Our next visit was to the Holy Spring waters. It was located in a Temple on the way down from Ubud. This place also had raeally cool architecture and there was this sort of 'lava' thing in a middle of a pond, well not exactly but something like that and the water was juz crystal clear with the lava thing right in the middle. it was Black in colour and it was bubbling. and around it was something like seaweed which was a a shadwe of deep emerald green. It was Spectacular!! I've never seen anything cooler in my entire life!



Beaches.... I have to say that Bali Truly has a few of the most Beutiful beaches. It's absolutely Gorgeous. Soft White sand.....clear Blue sea.....Fantastic waves....it's Paradise!!! I'm not kidding U could juz lie there the whole day and not realize a whole day has gone by. The sun rises as early as 6 in the morning and sets by about 5.30 in the evening. My advice is to sit on the beach to watch both. It is a spectacular sight which should not be missed! Also if Your a surfer This is the place to visit. It's one of the hottest spots for surfing. the waves are so strong and so huge it's unbelivable. Even if your not one for sports You'll want to learn how to surf once you visit the beach. Trust me I was one of them. yes me the girl who hates the hot suun, and does not do any kind of sport whatsoever went surfing. I'm not kidding! I have proof =)


Gosh this post sounds like I'm promoting Bali. Oh well, Guess I am. It's truly a wonderful place to visit. It's got great shopping, good food, Extremely creative people who are welcoming and friendly. though not a very rich group of people, The balinese make the most out of everything they have. If you ever get the opprtunity, visit Bali, it's awesome!!

Here are some other pictures...

Goodbyes

Hey!!! I'm here to ensure my Blog stays alive for good this time =)

Well I was supposed to put an earlier update about prom but was having so much fun going out with my friends everyday that I just didn't find the time. BUT Calvin did a wonderful job of covering all the events that happened at prom from Us getting ready to Me having tequila poured down my throat! so do go to his page and check out the story.

Juz for a lil recap of what happened the week after prom. Monday was spent Having breakfast with Yoeng Shen and then Sending him off to the bus station. Though we were late and he kind of missed the bus and had to wait 2 hours for the next one. After we dropped him Off Thasya, Grace CAlvin and I went back to the hotel and were chilling and being all emo. Then we checked out around 2p.m. and we all went home to laze around. I spent Tuesday with Grace. We went for B'fast and then back to her place to Watch dvd's. Wednesday was Phaik Thien's B'day we all woke up like super duper early to take her out for Breakfast as she was only free before 11 a.m. So we had Breakfast and sang Happy Birthday super Loud in Asia CAfe. Then Thien cut her cake in a really scary way and made a B'day speech. next we all went on a road trip to Yili's house. We had to go and check out where she lived as we were all going there for a picnic the next day. Just a piece of advice. DO NOT trust yili's Directions. For real! She'll ask u turn at the very last second when u almost past the exit. Calvin almost crashed the car twice thanks to this crazy girl. so yes.... we chilled at yili's place then we all left to go home about 2.30.
Thursday was Picnic day! we all woke up super duper early again to prepare stuff for the picnic. Grace, Ruey Yng and I went to yili's place together. We Got lost due to Yili's bad sense of directional skills again. I have concluded that she doesn't really know where her house is. So finally her mum had to drive out and direct us back to her place. [yili dear I still love u although u have bad directional skills =) ] so We reached yili's place and instead of havinc picnic at 8.30 like we planned we ended up starting at 10 as we were looking around the area for the right spot to have our picnic. We had so much of food. Loads of sandwiches, fruits, Muffins, cake, danish and other stuff. It was a Great day. we had lots of fun juz chilling and doing silly stuff together. Friday was supposed to be spent at Faizun's Place but we didn't make it as many of us had plans at the last minute. ( we'll come by another time zun.Promise!)

So that was last week. On Tuesday this week it Was Joshie's turn to Leave. he was going BAck to Kuching. We were Supposed to go out for Lunch at 12 to the curve and then hang around there till about 4.30 then Leave to send him off to the airport. But that plan didn't work because Romeo over there decided that he'd pack on Tuesday morning itself. Yes the day he was Leaving. so naturally all plans had to change. Packing finished at 2.15 so we met up at fishy's place and went to Subang Parade for Lunch. We ate at Manhattan Fish Market and then moved on for Dessert to Baskin Robbins. The Good thing was we still managed to leave for the airport at 4.30

We left for the airport in 2 cars. Grace, Thasya and I in Grace's Car and Calvin and Joshie in Cal's car. The whole entire ride there and the night before I kept telling myself that i will be Very composed and not get all emotional when Joshie Left. While in the Car, Grace, Thasya and I were talking about how it sucks that we have to say goodbyes and how nice it would be if only we could take the people we meet with us everywhere we go. that way there would be no Goodbyes. To add to the atmosphere every song on the Radio was Just one emo song after another. So yes anyway As we neared the airport Thasya was the first to loose composure but she managed to pull herself together juz in time to meet Joshie and go in to the airport. So we followed Joshie and checked in his luggage. He ended up leaving all 5 boxes for Grace Calvin and I to Take back for him when we go to kuching cause his luggage alone exceeded 15kg.

As we waited for the time to come for Joshie to board the plane I was slowly loosing composure. I kept telling myself that I'll be seeing him again in 2 weeks but it really wasn't helping. Then thasya told me she'll smack me if i lost it and i manged to pull myself together. well 6pm came very quickly and it was time for Joshie to board. As we Prayed for him Memoreis of the times we all spent together filled my head and suddenly I couldn't imagine what my days would be like without my clown - ish friends. The time finally came for me to say Goodbye to joshie and i couldn't hold myself together much longer. I knew at that very moment that I'd miss him tremendously. so yes I did cry ( yes Josshie i miss u... now u can go brag about it). The ride home wass Pretty Silent Until I kind a Broke the silence By saying something which will only remain between Grace, Thasya and Me. So after that We Managed to cheer up for a bit =)

I feel that having to say Goodbye is the hardest most devastating thing that happens in life. It is worse than meeting an accident, loosing all ur money, or getting a horrible disease. Even when a Person falls sick with some terrible disease its not having the disease that hurts the most. Its having to say Goodbye to the People u love. It's the thought of not seeing them, talking to them, holding them. That's what hurts the most. This is why we should Cherish every moment we have with our loved ones. appreciate them for who they are and never take the little things in life for granted.

So here's to all my Family and friends. I truly love each and every one of you with all my heart. I appreciate u for who u are and all you have done for me. I love u guys so much!!!!!

~Live life to its fullest and never regret a moment of it~

The end of another chapter......

2.30 pm Friday the 15th of June. as I sat at my desk and passed my Final exam paper to the examiner there was an unexplainable mixture of emotions bursting inside of me. There was extreme excitement knowing that I was finally done with the stress and anxiety of A-levels but then there was also this heavy cloud a kind of emptiness and hollow feeling knowing that this 1 1/2 years have finally ended. Which meant that there were many Goodbyes waiting to be said. People whom u saw everyday and hung out with doing silly things, were now friends u were gonna have to call and make a date to meet up with. The last day of college became a reality....

Nevertheless I pulled myself together and got ready to go grocery shopping with Calvin, Grace and Thasya. Yes I went grocery shopping with the 3 other clowns to carrefour. we needed to get supplies for the Barbecue we were having at my place later that evening. So yes we went Grocery shopping looked like a couple of clowns and Grace managed to scare of a girl who was buying Tomatoes.


Then we got back to my place and grace and I started preparing stuff. Boiling potatoes, cleaning chicken, marinating sausages then Anya brought Josh, Jolynn, and Yoeng Shen and they also started to do stuff. Anya made Salad, Yoeng Shen And Josh poked holes in the Lamb oh and they Peeled Potatoes. I have to say I was quite Impressed. Also they managed to start a fire. it's the first barbecue I've had with friends where the guys actually succeeded in starting a fire. I guess Teluk Intan and Kuching do teach u a few Good Things =)


Well the Barbecue turned out well. we had lots of fun grilling meat, and killing a few in the process but it was all good. It was so much fun to just sit around and spend time with the people u care about and love. such memories are irreplaceable. A reminder to everyone outthere Cherrish every moment of ur everyday life. Cherrish the ppl u meet. Time flies by without us even noticing it and u don't wanna regret anything in the end. Take care u guys and God Bless!

The Girls Looking pretty as always!

Everyone taking a break after a hearty meal!

As Calvin would say no party would be complete without the ultimate cousin shot!

Last day of Class

1oth January 2006... it was mt first day as a college student at Taylors. When I walked in that morning with Thasya for my orientation, it never dawned on me that 1 1/2 years would pass by so quickly, but here I am today the 18th of June 2007 my last day of classes. I can't belive it's here.

My first day at college is still so fresh in my memory that I'm finding it hard to accept the fact that it was my last day as a student of Pre - Law 3 ( Jan 2006 intake) I remember how everyone wanted to get to know each other but were all feeling shy at the same time and so we went up day by day to each other and introduced ourselves. I remember meeting grace on the way to law class. Thasya and I were talking and we decided that we should say hi to her I suppose she was thinking the same thing caused as we turned to her we all said hi at the exact same time. It was quite funny =)

Being with My classmates have thought me a great many things about life. The most important lesson that I learnt was not to judge a book by its cover ( as cliched as it may sound it is true) I remember thinking;
Yoeng shen: Quiet and passive.
Joshua a.k.a Fishy : Quiet, older than everyone else
Calvin: Talkative, Smarty
Grace : Tough, strong
Yi li : Good Girl
Wai ee, Ruey Yng, Thien, Yee Yoke: quiet, Chinese school girls (the stick together kind)
Smin, Wan Lin: Friendly
Zun : Bad Boy
Edwin: Eager, extremely excited all the time

They turned out to be...
Yoeng Shen : Crazy, Noisy, Psycho,Hilarious, talk a lot of crap
Fishy: Younger than everyone, Talkative, loves to bug ppl
Calvin: Never Changed =)
Grace: Actually quite timid, but with a very loud/strong voice
Yi Li: Ponteng kaki =)
Wai ee, Ruey Yng, Thien, Yee Yoke: very very talkative, and very easy to mix with
Smin: Very daring girl, quite the rocker chic
Wanlin: Funny and cute
Zun: Not a bad boy at all...he's actually very nice
Edwin: Not so eager after all, still quite hyper but for diff reasons =)

so u see u can't judge a book by its cover.

I have many fond memories that I will cherrish forever. I will never forget how Anya, Yi li and Grace found the weirdest looking guys attractive. However, I've concluded that they had come to a point of desperation due to the fact that there were no Man candy around. ( take note ppl u know who u are=) I will definately remember my law classes as they were one of the best if not the best class. Though I constantly was bullied and tortured it was never boring listening to the jokes flying around the class. I definately will not forget calvin and his camwhoring oh and his ever faithful lumix which took loads of nice pics. If i go on the list might not end so moving on....


Over the last 18 months I've also seen how friendship grow. How there are always challenges in life, friendships, relationships but if we keep working at it everything works out well in the end.

So here's to all my friends. I truly am gonna miss each and everyone of u. U guys have all played a role in my life one way or another and I am truly grateful. I wish u guys all the best in ur future Undertakings and I pray that all ur dreams will come true. Remember what Mr. Bala always says, that Nothing is impossible. Go after ur dreams u guys. I promise to keep in touch and I hope u guys do the same. I love all of u! Truly do! Muax!!
