Words to soak in...

“I love you…I love you…I love you.  I love you anyway, fully, completely, perfectly, and that will never, ever change from now until eternity.”

The stuff I wasn't expecting...

*post birthday post*

How do I even start counting my thankfuls this round?

I made some pretty concrete plans this year.
Like ordering the cake, bowling around 5pm and Koyah at 8.30pm when they start frying the noodles have been on my mind for a few weeks.
Add-ons just last week was that there was breakfast with the girls who flew in a day earlier and a movie before bowling.
Which was fine. Still on the plan. And I was content with my plan.
Even when there wasn't the 1.30pm slot I wanted for the movie and had to go for the 11.50am slot,
I thought I can surely kill 3 hours hanging out at 1st Avenue before PB.

In actuality, I had to kill like 5-6 hours because the movie wasn't that long and bowling was super short.
And then Koyah was closed.

Yet...
Ended up it was better than what I had planned.
Or maybe I was enormously relieved that emo day finally came.


Ended up I managed to include a so called prank I love that involves showing up unexpectedly at people's house.
And I didn't fail that morning. =D


Ended up I managed to do 3 other stuff that I've been wanting to do but there hasn't been a proper time for.
And there's such a beauty, being in awe and having an awareness that not being a stickler to concrete plans or to be disappointed when plans fail can bring little surprises to myself.

What was priceless and uncountable is the time and effort spent with all I met up with including a sick Jen.

Each of them that's such a blessing in my life right this moment.

Then there was the things I received.

Chocolate from Lyin!

Angpow.

From Rachel's mum. A really unexpected surprise in the morning.

I think I'm a first outside of family to get it, no?

McDonald's Float

Stolen from a Spice and Ice meal.

The cemetery I've been longing to visit.
This happened only because;
a) Parking at Penang Bowl was just nearby.
b) It was still broad daylight
c) I was safe.

Walking all around the Padang before Koyah.
Having random conversations.
Eating gummy worms and roses.
Watching a kid flying a very interesting set of small kites.

The mosque I've been dying to take shots of every time I passed by.
Somehow there was less traffic that made stopping Odie in front of it possible.

Lovely western food that happened because Koyah was closed for their Raya.
First time visiting this place.
And it was befitting a birthday meal.

Pupu, my new USO from Jen and Popo my old baby all hooked up.
Lol.

Birthday Card
Teary at the heartfelt words from Vi.

Nandos
Just imagine. Of all people. Treated by Slavedriver at dinnertime today. Lol.

Sorry, guys...

*a fuzzy post*

I couldn't deal with annoying people sober.

I knew I was going down that road the moment I started singing along to the music.

What do they know of the last seven to ten years?

How can everything be just assumed and criticized over?

It's like being challenged to be rebellious and annoying me further to be at my worst.

And every time, I fail to let His grace get me through it.

I'm thankful that I only had to deal with one for the whole day instead of two.

I'm thankful that the lashings in my head stayed mostly in there.

I'm thankful that Vi and Lyin was with me.

Else there might have been serious damage done.

#227 Thank God I don't have to wash my hair today!!!!

Because I'm still tired.
And I'm already tired at the thought of being stuck in dresses today.
I've only gone for long hours in one on the 1st day of CNY!

Today is going to be worth the struggle.

Congratulations, San!!!!!!

Yesterday was awesome, out of my mind.

Was out for over 12 hours!
So many unexpected gifts and things.

Chocolates, an angpow, a Unidentified Soft Object (USO) called Pu Pu, 

the cemetery, fireworks and the mosque.

So Freakin' Friggin' BLESSED!

Am so thankful.

The only regret is probably forgetting to call my brother to wish him in the midst of everything.

But then, I also forgot all my directions in Penang.

Lol.
And oh, not only my Birks decided to give up on me,
the strap of the bag I was carrying for the day came off as well.



I so need to pack my things now.
Photos will have to wait!

You are 5 year old!

Happy Birthday, Blog!

Can you tell I'm so excited?
Was going to do the whole midnight thing.
But someone had a football match on and I was pooped from a long day at work.
Ended up waking up at 6am for a little SELF INDULGENCE.
=D

All packed and ready for distribution!

Now I can go back to snuggling in.

The business with hair...

Just the simple act of sitting there. 

Letting my mind clear up.

Truly a blessing.

Woo hooo!!!!

I reached my 10 Million NPs goal!!!

What a pretty sight!

Pet Peeve

People who compliments after a set.

>.<```

And then I get tongue tied when what I wanna say is;

THIS COMPLIMENT BELONGS TO GOD, YOU IDIOT !
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?

Jeez.
Breathe.....
Exhale.

Had awesome maggi goreng that I can never tire of.
Never fails to leaving me contented.

Bonus lies in being driven to and fro for just one meal.
Am thankful (#225).

Oh, and I've managed to order my cake.
Hee..
Instead of waiting for it, I've decided to get my own this year.

Sniffles

Bummer stuffs.

There wasn't a phone in the picture on Friday.

I didn't win anything.

Have a bug up my nose. 

Wish it would put a plug on the hose.

Things I'm thankful for in the last 3 bugged days.

#222 Instant noodles. Chicken flavor is definitely my comfort food when I'm this out.
Courtesy of my dad.

#223 K-love videos that couldn't have been more timely. Courtesy of Vi. =)

#224 Rereading Max again because of a blast from the past. Courtesy of Nana. =)

Gripe of the day

So it's Friday.
Usually I'll be springing up plans of things to do or eat for this weekend by now.
Instead, I've decided to venture into the unknown and join something tonight called....

Company dinner.

Never been to one of these in all my years of working.
What got me eager was the IMAGINATION that they'd give away a Samsung S3 for the top lucky draw prize.
Yeah, as if that's going to happen. To me. >.<
This round's theme is Hollywood so there's no hassle to just go in one of those dresses meant for wedding dinners, Christmas or Sundays I feel really good on.
And since we're on that subject, I have to attend 3 wedding dinners in these 3 months.
Which makes a Samsung S3 a little far off more in the distance.
So yeah, dreamer in the house!

The anxiousness and gripe lies in something called;

Games.

Like, what on earth will they make people play dressed in their best? 

>.<`

And photo taking sessions.

>.<``

Enough said.
Hope I make it back unembarrassed.

This is the day that the Lord has made....

Proudest moment of the day had to be...

1 2

Crash 2 3 4 5 6 Tat Tat (x3)

Crash 2 3 4 5 6 Roll!!

Pom Pom Tat Tat Pom Pom Tat (x7)

Pom Pom Tat Tat Rolls!!

Crash 2 3 4 5 6 Tat Tat (x3)

Crash 2 3 4 5 6 Roll!!

Pom Pom Tat Tat Pom Pom Tat (x8)

Crash!!

I finally completed a short song.

Emo pants

It's October.

My emo pants are buckled on really tight.

Please forgive me.

Seeing her all curled up in bed today, stitches on her head....
I wondered if I've made the right decision.
Griffin, the 5 dimensional guy who could see the future in MIB3 would have been able to tell.
No one really asked me why I've returned, and I only volunteered the honest answer once.
Today it feels like a very heavy price has been paid for my freedom.

Thankful through this storm for;
#219 Mi online at this hour. And she's nearly never online. 
Letting me let out and filling up with the right thoughts.

#220 Occupied time throughout the day. 
Leaving me so little space to be in the black hole of my own thoughts.

#221 This weekend's theme is how deep the Father's love for us.
He truly does.
