Run! WB, Run!!

Someone asked,
What would you do if you are provided with a chance to run?

I answered,
I would run as fast as I can.

Someone asked again,
Wouldn't you feel tired if you always have to run that fast?

I said,
Yes, I would.

Someone then asked,
If so, why don't you stop and rest?

I said,
I tried but I can't. I will lost if I stop.

Someone asked again,
Would you still running, even if you have to sacrifice something you treasured the most?

I started to hesitate and answered,
That would depend on what do I need to sacrifice.

Finally someone asked,
What's your purpose of running?

I said,
To run away from where am I now, to run away from my role and responsibilities, and to run away to have a new life.

Someone asked,
Would you be happy if you are to run away successfully? Are you running with no regrets?

Again I hesitated and said,
No, I think I will not be happy and I will regreted it one day to be such a coward.

Someone then said,
If so, please don't run. Stop and listen to your heart. Follow the way where the heart lead you to. Think twice before you make the decision and don't ever let the others to get into your way after you have made up your mind. The key is to never make yourself regret for what you have once decided. Remember to always run for your dreams and not to hide yourself from the reality, but in contrast, run over it bravely.

Run without looking back, because there will never be a way back then.

Chef Lee?!!?

I was wondering when did I become so initiative in preparing dinner for my family, the last meal that I had prepared was tomato spaghetti, if my memory serves me correctly. *lol Well, I could say I am not a hardworking girl in terms of house-keeping and cooking. In short, I am kind of lazy in houseworks. It would depend on my mood though, if for me to prepare meal. But eventually, today is the day that I had a really good mood, cause I thought of cooking the dinner for me and my mum.

The menu was set as Butter Grilled Salmon with Mashed Potato and Green Salad with Balsamic Sauce. Think I have watched too much cooking show, that I got the idea to name my dish. The ingredients are butter, salmon, potatoes, fresh greens, tomatoes, mini bell peppers and lemon. While the seasoning are salt, black pepper, lemon, butter, and balsamic sauce pack. Got home from the supermarket around 4pm, cleaned and prepared the ingredients, rest before I start to prepare around 5.45pm.

The ingredients

The dish is actually kind of easy to be prepared, it only took about 45 minutes to get everything on the table. Both me and my mum are satisfied with the dish served, and I am happy that my 1st try on preparing salmon meal would be a great success. ;)



The final outcome - looks not bad huh? ;D

I think I am getting a bit too excited with the meal, that I made a joke by referring myself as Chef Lee. ;p I know I am not a real chef, but as a joke, I think it was fine to refer me that way, at least for the night. *lol

Private Corner

I had this sudden urge to write at this late hour. I doesn't seem to have much thoughts to express, nor I have much words to say. Just a feeling to write, at this sleepless night, hoping that I could gain myself some peaceful thought before I finally throw myself on bed and get some sleep.

Semester break had started officially right after I done with the presentation. Its a long semester break though, may be a bit too long I think. I tried to keep myself busy even though there is really nothing much that I can do during the holidays. But still there are so much time left, which  I can use it to think, whenever I have nothing to get busy on.

I think of my future, my friends, my families, my special one, my dreams... and this strange feeling came across, I had finally came to realize a truth.

My toughness and strength had no doubt supported me along the way, but at the same time, it had shut part of me into a private place. A place where I used to hide my bad feelings and unhappy thoughts. A place where I store my tears and the soft-sided me. It is such a secret place, that I chose to shut all my sensitive feelings and thoughts in. I ignore it even it had pound million times a day to remind me that I am actually someone sensibility.

Its a private corner where I used to lock the other side of me. I don't use to open it up to others, except my very best friend. It had moments when it don't want to be reach, even myself. A little distance and space will always make it feel better, when it come to sensitive matters. It is my loyal servant that will always tell me the truth whenever it thinks that I am ready and my secret will always be safe with it.

People has tried to reach for it, but few of them stay, after failed of trying. Somehow, there is this person who could always make it speak and share. I am amazed on how he can always do the trick, it had tried to ignore the magic he did, but mostly failed. It has the feeling that it might be time for it to open up..  :)

A Day for Mum and Daughter

I think I really do know how to enjoy the semester break, I arranged myself a trip almost every weekend during the holidays. But this is one exceptional, because its arranged by my beloved mum. Its a day trip to Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan, organised by the neighbourhood committee. My mum is seriously interested and she needs a company for the trip, so I become the best companion for her. Who's the best to have a trip with if not the beloved daughter? :)

Bus took off at 7.50am and the journey started at 8.30am, went to seafood manufacture factory for breakfast and stopped at bird nest producer firm in the middle. Finally we spent most of the time visitting the farms and paddy fields. The scenes were naturally beautiful and nice, I am amazed on how mother nature could breed such nice places on earth. Especially its located somewhere near the city, honestly I have never thought of that before. In the evening, we had dinner at a beach side restaurant somewhere in Kuala Selangor. Sunset is just an hour away, and so I got the chance to catch some photos before the night approach.

Basically its just a visit to farms and fields, its simple and yet I can see that mum enjoyed it a lot. She laughed very often on that day, she ejoyed the meal offered and also the time spent with her friends and daughter around. She loves the natural scenes as well and so I took some photos for her, to keep the memorable moment. Mum was obviously happy for the day, its been some time since she laughed that often. Time fled and I grown up way too fast for her to adapt, sometime we would just arguing on some small matters.

My memory about her would be either her upset and disappointed faces, or the strict faces which wants to teach her daughter to be someone great. I felt grateful to have been able to make her happy by just being her companion for the trip. May be I have neglected her when she needs someone around. I felt great by just seeing her happy faces along the trip. :)

The Best Two

Semester break is getting a little too long for me though, I have spent most of the time lacking at home, with only fb game, msn and pps. If I have no outings with friends or families. So spontaneously, I have decided to give a visit to some of my best friends in the south.

Even if there was no plans, no extra credits, no places to stay, still I am excited about the visit. Since the purpose was to find myself some excitement in these dull bored days and to have fun. Without any doubt and thinking that things will get right when the time comes, so off I went on the journey.

Getting started by contacting some of my friends and settling the trasportation problem, the departure date was set officially on the last day of Sept, which is the next day after I got the bus ticket. *lol The next morning at 10.30am sharp, I am on the bus waiting for it to take off from the station. Due to some reason, I spent most of the day on bus travelling to the destination. With these time, I can really felt the difference by travelling alone. With no friends or families around, I got to enjoy my private time in only reminiscing and enjoying the favourite song in my htc. :)

Went for meal in Bugis after arrived and met my best friend, Hui at 5.30pm on the day. We shop at Bugis after dinner and decided to go for some drinks at Clarke Quay at night. This is the 1st time, I feel like I am more like a homeless lady than a backpacker during a visit to other places. As I have no places to stay for the night, so we decided to stay awake by chatting and sitting at the river side of Clarke Quay.

Treats at Bugis and Clarke Quay ;)

Midnight at Clarke Quay with mirror Image?? ;p

Looking pale after some drinks

Does it look like 4am on the street to u?? ;p

We sat at the river side until 4am the next morning, took some photos before took off to McD nearby for breakfast. What would you normally do at 4am in the early morning? I said its perfect time for some McD breakfast!! ;p Thanks to McD, I can finally had a proper place to rest my back and have a cup a of warm tea. ;) After breakfast in McD, we took a shower and get prepared for a busy day ahead. woohoo!!

We spent the day walking around Merlion Park and Bugis, stopped by at Chinatown in the middle and had Jap food as late lunch at Takashimaya. Finally we went to the famous Guan Yin Goddess temple at Bugis street before we took the bus to JB. Its a tiring day for us though, carrying bags along the way while rushing from one place to another. Miss a lot of photo takings when we travelling around. But still we had fun during the photo taking at Merlion Park. We were exhausted when we finally settled ourself on the bus to JB and we fell asleep almost directly after the bus took off from the station.

We had dinner with another two friends at JB that evening, spent another sleepless night on drinking and playing cards in OverTime, and sing k at Big Mouth. We only got to rest on the bed nearly 5am in the morning. We woke up 5 hours later to have breakfast and take some walk around the area, went for the bus in the noon and head back to the city. Although I spent most of the time walking around with a heavy bag, and didn't get to rest comfortably, but still I had to say I really do enjoy the journey and I had a great time spent with my BFF. Thanks to my BFF along my visit to the north. ;)

Merlion Park - BFF along the way. :)
