Old Time's Sake

I'm sneaking online even though it's cNy.

It’s suppOsed to be a holiday, where people take a break from working like a cow during the rest of the year. Even when I went out yesterday for the gathering with my primary school pals, I can't enjoy myself fully without glancing at the clock every hour or another. Ok Edmund, I didn't plan to go out before u start interrogating bout my revision progress. A phone call came and old friends took turns to express how much they miss u, how can you possibly reject that??

Okay I may have exaggerated little, lol, but that’s about what had happened yesterday afternoon.

Instead of dropping by at one of my friend’s place to catch up (as what they’ve told me in the phone), we ended up going to the places of a few old friend’s for visiting. Doing short visits to people’s houses during cny was never really my thing, ‘cause I find it kinda awkward sometimes. It was as if our aim from our first step into the house would be to collect the angpows, especially when we’re taking off again to next house in less than 15 minutes. -.-"

Anyway, yesterday was different since those are the people I have not really talked to for ages. This is the time where you catch up with what you've missed. Everyone seems to have gone through a part of their lives without each other and yet we’re sitting there together again after many years. It feels like we have all parted on our own journey and on this day our paths crossed each other again, though it may just be for a short moment.

It is kinda nice to see people from your past once in a while. You get to see how much they have changed, yet deep down there are still something recognizable bout them. Things that we have once shared, traceable in our memories...

Highlight of the day was the part when Jessica took out all the old photos that we’ve taken on the last few days of our primary school life. Those pictures were really… *speechless*. We were practically laughing hysterically, while trying frantically to stop some people from snapping those ugly shots with their handphones. God knows what will happen if they find their way up to facebook and got our names tagged. All our images built over the years…*poof* gone within seconds.

After that, we went up to the lookout point at Ulu Langat for dinner. Nice view, but we were freezing most of the time, mainly because it had been drizzling since afternoon.

All in all, it was a nice gathering. Thanks for dragging me out guys, haha. One regret, we forgot to take pictures!! How can we possibly forget, when the next time we meet could well be 5 or 10 years later…



This was the only pic taken on the day (without me!). Too bad my fren left her camera at home before they came to pick me up. See u guys next time when someone gets married, lol.

Chinese New Year 2009

Once again,its the joyous festive time,a season for the Chinese to look forward to.Its just less than a day away from the Xin Nian (Chinese New Year), the year of Ox of '09. To me CNY equates the color red.Everywhere you go during this season,things around you are red in color.The food is red ( or at least the container is), the clothes,the ornaments, the decor, ang pau-es and oh yeah, not forgetting the weather too (scorching hot like motherf*cker).Even my fonts are red too,to fit the occasion,lalalala.AUSPICIOUS ma~~~~

Now,do allow me to shed light on whats my real deal with MY kind of CNY =)

~During pre-cNy, me and Denise will shop like mad,hahaha.(Actually,i dont need a reason to shop,i shop for xmas,deepavali,raya,when im sad,when im happy,when im bored,when im horny,when im not horny and when I am NOT BROKE).

~Then come New Year's Eve,yipeeeee.Usually,my mum dont cook (kinda ...suxs,no offence ya mummy,still love ya,muaks muaks) for the reunion dinner.She used to,but recent years...she dah sedar diri.Bagus bagus (joking laaaaaaa,im so bad).Therefore,we will dine out,double the yipeee-ness.

~Then just before it strikes 12 a.m,we (me n my family) will head to the temple...near KLCC. Primary Reason for choosing tht particular temple? Its air-conditioned.KAkakaAKA.We will do our prayers,and stuffs.Im pretty much a devoted young man =).Seriously i dont mind getting back to our regular annual routine of visiting the Thean Hou temple (though its congested by the 1st Day of CNY and it aint air-conditioned).

~First day of CNY...will be as boring as...(ermm I cant say no 'ong' words hor)...as...as...nvm.

Yeapz,most probably i will be at home whole day,coz i dont bother to visit my father's relatives (most of them).Sorry,but im not fond with u guys,bluek.So usually me n my sis will stay at home,away from the sun,online.Invited friends will come over,main black jack or in between,or mahjong kua...or chit chat...YAy~

~Then the real deal begins on 2nd day of CNY.Will be back to mama's hometown Ipoh...Stay over in 1st uNcLe's big luxurious house (fuyo fuyo kaya~).Will do visiting, have nice dinners in fancy restaurants,chit chat wiv relatives,play cards with cousins...etc...for the next few days...

This year,beyond all doubt will be much more fun than the pervious year.My cousin bro, Jack with wife Nana together with their newborn son, Sakutarou will be flying from Australia and Japan to here,celebrating with us.My cousin sis,together with her hubby will b joining us too,all the way from HK.Hehehehe...

~On serious note,this may be my last CNY here as im flying off to NZ.

Till then,doodles~Will update more~

A Spring Cleaning episOde

Counting down 2 days to Chinese New Year, every family member (meaning my mom) is busy finishing up their last touches on cleaning up every spot and corner in the house. Seeing her up since early morning and still working on it till late afternoon makes me feel a slight tinge of guilt since I’ve done probably the least to help in this house (by clearing up my own stuffs). Given the big excuse of preparing for exam right after CNY and health condition, my parents naturally dismiss the thought of having my help in spring cleaning this year. Yaya I know I should be studying by now if so, but a person has got to eat lunch, no? And although I’ve just finished my lunch, I need time to digest my food before turning to that stack of indigestible notes. Haha…

By the way, this morning I suddenly recalled a phone conversation I had with Edmund many years back… it went something like this…

Ed: Yerr… there was a lizard squashed flat on the door frame of my room.

DeNise: Disgusting! That’s probably you always slamming your door. (That time Ed’s a super mood-swinger ~ Now he’s still one but lesser of one, haha)

Ed: Hahaha… so cute! It’s like SO flat. Wonder how many times it was crushed by the door to get that flat.

DeNise: Poor lizzie…


Without realizing it, I (or one of my family members) have committed the same unspeakable crime a few years later.

This discovery was made while my mom’s doing spring cleaning at the kitchen this morning. I’ve never seen one this huge in my life. Unlike Ed’s lizzie, this more unfortunate one was squashed on the hinges of the door at my kitchen. You can't spot it unless u stand very near to the gate, and then look to the right. Which means we have no idea how many months (or perhaps years) it has been there, being repeatedly slammed against to becoming part of the door frame.


What’s more surprising, when mom was trying to broom it down, a smaller baby lizzie fell down before the huge one did. Apparently, it was a doomed fate for a mother and child who went for a pleasant sunbathing trip at the door hinge.

ps: Judging by the sound of how it fell onto the ground, it's really crispy. I cant help but be reminded of the satay ikan thing Penang is famous of...

how i spent my free time these days~

This,sadly,is how i rather spend my time than writing the (GOD DAMN!!!) scholarship essay of mine.Btw,i am sooooo smart these days i forgot to save my COMPLETED 5 pages of scholarship essays when i took my lappie for a fix.Imagine,how i resided into the grey area of my day.Thank goodness,my results turned out to be alright and i gotta spend time with my baby (pics will b uploaded soon).BY THE WAY,back to the initial topic,i will give u an idea on it.

Yup,you can figure out where our conversation will lead to...==. OMG...

A-level results...

"Oh lord...".I woke up at 8.13 am yesterday,an hour and thirteen minutes later than i've expected.Yup,my results are out on 7am.I dragged myself from my bed,went to the website and key in my password and username.My nose begun to bleed,with my half-opened eyes,staring at my radiating lappie's screen.I reached out to my tissue box on the floor and then called up Ching Ying,a close college friend of mine.
Me :Hello...?

Ching Y:Hello,yea.
Me:U woke up oredi ar...

Ching Y: Yea.Apparently ya not.

Me: U've checked urs?

Ching Y: Nope,i've been sitting in front of my pc from 7 a.M.

I promised to help her get done with her procedures.Printing out her results,photocopy them and get them certified as soon as possible.I,nonchalantly,pressed enter.And i saw a row of As.And i couldnt help but to care less to read more,I went back to sleep.

I was startled with the text tone of my cell phone.Its 11 a.m,there goes my beauty sleep."Congratulation.U made it with flying colors". Wow,mum thanks,ahaks how formal.Somehow i managed to tell her how i ace my examination early in the morning in the state of semi-cousciousness.Yay~Daniel did ask...So did Denise.And thats it.
Im just grateful.Thank God.
I went back to college later in the evening.Mr.Low pulled out his hand and gave me a hand shake.Im like 'Alaaah,please ler'.Surprise surprise,he asked me about Justin again.Hahaha...
Justin has the audacity,to look forward to get his results,always been.Breakdown of the results excite him more.That fella,typical...(Haha...)

p/s: fcuk ler...i missed The Hills,bloggin this post.Fcuk...Urgh.

indelible conversation?

no,im not weeping.im just bored.

EdMuNd : Hey there,can i speak to my baby,please ?
Dxxxxe : Huh,...spo...tty ?
EdMuNd : ...ello,can i speak to my BABY...pleaseeeeeeeeeeee...
Xenisx : Oh,hahaha i thought you said spotty...So how's your...

(Such a turn off)

Its just hours away to the release of my results.Yup,my A-levels examination.Finished at November '08 and here...i am in front of my pc,a few (maybe a thousand) clicks away from accessing University of Cambridge website.Results that are pivotal in reinforcing my academic strengths.

To date,its the torque of my moment.Nervous,checked.Worried,checked.Sleepless,SURE HOPE NOT.

My aunt called me up this evening.She was my closest aunt,frequent visits to my home (i mean like almost everyday,at least once a week wiv uncle) to see her bro (my dad) for yumcha...It was rather weird that she called me from her office to well,erm chat.Yea,though i classified her as my closest aunt,it was well understood among my other family members,may it be from my mum's side or my dad's,that i dont talk much.Neither do i pretend to.A total opposite of my sis,the loud & talkative one,the happy go lucky one.So yea,its rather weird she talked to me through phone about me going to New Zealand.Asking about my preparation and how did i get to know about that university.I realised it's such a big deal of me going overseas after i hung up.This,however,i can't deny the fact that im really pretending that it could be dismissed as a marginal issue.For the past two months,i have been weaving a cocoon around myself,somehow console myself to settle in denial,pull over the wool over my eyes to conceal the fact that i will no longer be in my comfort zone.But to a rather foreign place,a place where people generally think its an unusual option to study.A place where the population of Asians is lesser than 2% in relative to the total proximity.

Clubbing,hanging out,dating,movies,dose of sexs =D,shopping,and spending ridiculous time at home doing almost nothing, just constitute to the facade i wish to have in reality.The illusion of time will wait,or at least University of Otago will wait.

Hmmm,perhaps im more worried of flying off from my comfort zone rather than my examination results.Accomodation there in NZ is still unconfirm yet,great (faiii diiittt lah,tiu).Sigh.All in all,wish me luck.For tommorow (my results) and for my future ( my results and my life in NZ to-be).God bless.
