Both my grandma and dad have been discharged from hospital.. Grandma dun seem too well still.. her face is like bloated.. water is like retaining inside her.. And the pills/medicines that once seems to help her dun seems like working anymore.. And i swear.. when i last visit her at the hospital, i realli wanna cry... seeing her gasping for oxygen... i realli wish i could help her in some way or another.. but den again.. i'm juz standing there looking at her helplessly... If not oxygen can be donated like blood...

Right.. dad juz came home in the noon today... sista and i went to fetch him.. he still doing pretty fine.. but his leg is in kinda bad condition... he can walk.. but due to some drug allergy.. his leg is damn reddish...my father and all of us dun even noe tat he actually has allergy against some drugs.. coz my dad has always been fit and healthy.. and two years back he had the same operation but he didnt experience such a bad rash dat it took sleep away from him... I juz hope both of them recover soon... i think tats all i wish for the upcoming christmas.. And i hope to learn to take more responsibility in helping ard the house..

Yst was kinda disappointing.. duno how to explain.. but was nice to get to see everyone again.. coz its been realli long that all of us gather... i juz love the presence of everyone.. be it i tok much to them or not.. coz i guess they all make a difference in my life.. Mayb i may say i hated them or dislike them or mayb condemn them, but they still do live footprints in the journey of my life and living those memories in the fragile filaments of my brain... And now.. i'm looking forward for christmas.. coz when christmas time, is always a day for gathering.. and i love it.. so Shurong.. u better not PS this time haha

This morning went for some trial run for my cc inter-con thingy.. wake up like ard 6 plus.. realli can die.. deprive of slp like nobody business.. i hope nxt time they can arrange it later.. AIZHI NEEDS TO SLP!!!!
Yst walk along suntec.. saw lotsa SALES tag hanging ard...arrgh...super Kian... Aud... when are we going to shop tog again!!!! I miss shopping with u haha=)

I want the orange timberland sweater!!! $129.. izzt worth it?!?!

I duno if i still misses you...
coz my heart juz feels so jumble up..
is so complicated that it feels like all my arteries and veins are intertwine..
but i've already made up my mind, like what you have done long ago...
no more dwelling over you and those sad love songs...
you are so gonna be out of my mind...
I just dun worth a cents of love from anybody...
ugly but true to the heart xxx

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done !
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Yup.. a very nice poem indeed.. realli reflects how many of us lead our life... overlooking all those small little things happening ard us.. taking things for granted... And no wonder, as we grow older true frens get fewer...we make aquaintances rather than true frens... we lose good friendships along the way juz becoz of the lousiest excuse we are too busy to say "hi".

I agree life is definitely not a race.. but like what its being stated, time is short and life is unpredictable... we are all actually racing against time... we are all greedy in nature... wanting to gain a lot in a short period of time... and when we try to see the big pictures we miss out the smallest details... we only notice it when they are juz gonna be gone...are we careless or are we juz too arrogant

We may say that we are all happy and content with our state of living.. but who dun yearn for more and yearn for a better live... And here i highlight.. humans are all self-fish, no matter what we do, it always definitely based on our own interest and goals.. we'll nv learn to see the sorrows of others.. coz we're all juz too engage loving and focusing on the way we want to live our life...

I realli wish i could slow down the pace of the way i live... but even if one can stop the clock from ticking, one cant stop the world from turning...Yup.. how ironic life can gets... I juz wish i could have more time spend with my family and frens... i realli miss those days where i juz chill out with my sec skool or even db frens at some cafe or void deck.. and slack thru out from noon till nite...having to talk and gossips about everything under the sun till moonlight...was realli cool ha

Really looking for my two weeks break in Dec... And i wan more DB circuit training.. i'm LOVING IT!!! SHIOK=)

How great.. today solo presentation for Proteo term paper... it was realli a surprising one alrt... for that moment of time, i swear i realli miss Maggie standing beside me and both of us presenting together. Unfortunately, on this important morning, Maggie was on MC... coz we're both too "QIANG" already.. chiong the proteo presentation within 2 days, overnight somemore... And i muz say.. this presentation was not an easy one, coz we're not only required to analyse the journals but also compare and understand why certain reagents or buffers are used...

And i muz realli thank Maggie for all the hard work she has put in and the midnight oil she burns.. i think i didnt do as much as her as usual... I juz hope Dr Koh can give both of us a decent grading.. coz today supposed to have 3 grps presenting.. den in the end only turn out to be only me.. realli sian diao lah... But it was definitely an nerve cracking experience presenting alone infront of Dr Koh and mates...is was like back to yr1 Ocomm days...was realli lucky that Dr Koh did not shoot me too many diff questions.. still manage to ans him.. Phew.. i realli count myself lucky today... mayb he noes that diff question i sure cant ans, so perhaps he dont even bother ha But watever... is OVER!!!! and so what if i did a lousy job today...cheers for Maggie and Me still... One down.. but many more pro to go still... darn....(can someone give me a break)

Oh well. i muz realli get the chance to thank shilin and mingli... thanks for their support at that critical time.. i guess without u guys showing your support and concern.. i would be a dead meat by now.. i wont be able to present the ppt... Thanks girls=)realli appreciate it

I'm left with stage 8.01 and TP test for my bike.. is kinda fast.. but i cant say that i'm a competent rider... i mean getting the license seem so near but still yet so far.. coz the ciruit evaluation and road evaluation is not easy.. muz get less then 18 points.. i somehow realli doubt my ability and capability... coz seeing the people infront of me repeating realli make me damn scare lah... I think i realli gotto go for more practise and get it through!!!! I want to get my bike license soon!!!! *pray

Dicey Business airing in HK today...Arrgh cant wait to watch it....my laopo!!!

Have this email titled sth to learn being send to me... i think most of the sentences are true.. and there are some questions that realli make me sit down and think...this is all part and parcels of life i guess...
* What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say good-bye?
*What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?
*What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? ( even if it is that you don't care anymore)
*What would you do if you loved someone more than ever and you couldn't have them?

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.
