For generations to come, today’s going to be remembered as the day. A great day for all Chinese around the world. The Olympic has finally arrived in China. I’ve been looking forward for this day to come. The show is starting as this post is published. My heart pounds with excitement. China, the mother land of Chinese around the world. May you shine your dazzling rays and show the world the greatest game ever!

I took a minute to savour the moment. For I probably won’t be around the next time it comes around. I wonder what would the world be then. In a hundred years time, would my descendant find the day special?

Update: Just finished watching the opening ceremony. What a stunning display of pageantry! There’s simply no words to describe the amazing scene, I’m blown away.

mmm… can you tell my dad’s desperation?

When you’re at the last leg of your 20s and married for more than 2 years, this is what to expect among many birthday wishes. *cue nervous laughter*

Thank you very much for the many birthday wishes. It was a great day.

Have a wonderful weekend!
(probably not so wonderful for me as the forecast predicts a storm coming.
I’m shivering in my boots already.)

Sitting in the dark, breathing in the cold air, feeling somewhat serene and enlighten.
Inner peace seem to finally find its way to my heart.
Just in time.
24/7, comes the day that I always look forward to as a child.
Happy Birthday to me.
Here’s to good things!

點點燭光，帶我回到那夢樣的年紀。
那年的夢想，在記憶裡釀成了酒。像消逝的年歲，醇香瀰漫，永留心中。

What if you have someone in your life who will always be there for your?
What if they stick with you even at times you shut them out?
What if they will do anything for you at a drop of a hat?
What if you feel so appreciative that words fail to express the emotions?
What if thank you just seems to be such an empty word?

Ecstaticism came in a form of a cool black casing mechanism that is Nikon D80 this winter. An early birthday gift from my loved ones. Happy is not enough to describe the waves of emotions I’m feeling right now. Thank you so much! I am truly overwhelmed.

I’ve been using the good old Sony Cybershot T30 for quite a while. While it is a good little point-and-shoot camera, it is just not able to take those money shots. I’ll make sure to deliver some great photos and try to make full use of my new gadget from now on! The party is on!

There are so many ways of showing love, but non come even close to represent how much I love you.
There are so many people around, but non could love me as much as you.
There are so many words in my mind, but non can translate into the gratitude I feel in my heart.
There are so many moments of appreciation yet I’ve failed to utter them in words for you.
There are just way too much love I feel to even start to relay them to you.

In the absent of my mother’s day post, I present this to you, my lovely parents! I’m forever grateful for having you in my life! I love you!

Here are two songs that stay close to my heart. For you, mum and dad, and all parents out there.

I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Here’s for you.

Birthday pandas.

Today is a big day. The story started 31 years ago, a giant (literally) was born in a town in Malaysia. He was a sweet little boy who went on and grew into a gentle, considerate and kind man whom I met and fell in love with 24 years later. He is the kindest, most nonjudgmental person I’ve ever met, a man who has the purest heart ever. As early as a month after we had met, a little bird told me that he’s the man I’m meant to be with, that he is the person that I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. It was a surreal feeling, yet incredibly real.

Over 7 years have passed, and my feelings just proved to be true. Everyday with him is like heaven on earth. I am eternally thankful to have met and married a guy who love me for who I really am, helped me through thick and thin and sailed through the rocky weather together. This is someone I laugh with, live for, dream with, love; the one who makes my life complete.

Well, you all must know this is Mr K I’m talking about. It’s his birthday today, so send some love his way y’all!

I’m so gonna get killed for this photo. Haha.

To many, 30th August marks the eve of an important day to a nation; to me, it marks the birth of a remarkable lady, without whom I would not have existed. That’s right, today marks the 55 years celebration of life for my mother. Like many in the 50s, my mother was born into a big family of 7 siblings. Growing up, she’d tell me the many tales of a kampung(village) girl roaming around the village. As a traditional woman, she grew up holding strongly to her beliefs and values. That’s just one of the many treasures she has instilled in me.

Growing up, I have a strong and close relationship with my mother. She’s always there for me when I need her. Those difficult days of adolescence weren’t easy, but her understanding and support helped me through. She’s always there 100% behind my every decision, even though sometimes she might not agree.

Once again, we are celebrating your birth today my dear mum. There’s no presents, cards or words that can fully expressed my feeling of appreciation for you. I just want you to know that though we’re apart, our hearts have never been closer. You are one of the most important forces to pull me through many difficult times. Thank you mama! I am so proud to have a mother who is my closest confidant, my biggest fan and my best friend.

Kick back, relax and have a wonderful day!
