Dear Shooting Star,
Today is a smooth day! Whee. Seems so happy and energetic, albeit the usual yawns and moaning in my office.
Ambivalence always seems the neutral and nice attitude, yet, this kind cannot last.
Pondering why friends always touch and go in my life and wonder which one can really last and stay dear and close? Is that the impermanence of things. This makes me feel sad of how things and people don't stay along with you.
Sometimes, I wonder will I leave a impact to your life or at least a memory of your life. Nevertheless, I will hope the best of your life. (:
On a happy note, it's a weekend! Can't wait to meet up all my friends and talk like no other. (:
As usual, anticipation is always the happiest.
Love,
Heal
Hello Hello Shooting Star.
Chinese New Year just flies. Generally, life passes and going back to Malaysia is just like the usual visitation to my relatives and I just love it!
Malaysia is so sunny and the sun is blazing and treacherous. Not as friendly as the sunny island of Singapore. The authorities are superb. Once again, the usual custom officer will hopefully demand for red packets while after a insincere cny greeting. And obtaining the extra arrival card cards still need extra $$ to pay. WTH.
But I don't pretty much care about this, as such things happen often. Nothing is said unfair since conditions stays. While we cannot change it, why lament and be oft angered by this right? Insignificant fries.
Talking, sleeping and eating is the usual routine of cny. My relatives do not really gamble and is never our habit. Hence, I have bad card playing and zero mahjong skills. So most of the time we chat and eat ( no wonder my cough still don't heal).
The best is of course the fireworks, since sg doesn't have such privilege. Unfortunately, the police this year starts hungry for some money and patrol becomes so stringent. Blazing the crackers becomes like a sneaky thing to do and we have better plans for the next year. Shall replace them with a barbecue session! See what can they do with us!
The best is the food! The once in a year then cook bamboo shoots sedap and I ate for 2 consecutive days. No soup is better then my aunt's pepper soup and while it's so hot that you feel like stopping, you can't cos it's so shiok. No pictures were taken cos I was too overwhelmed by these glorious food. :P
And I'm so happy that I can carry a few months old baby! I thought such things will have to wait long long since I wasn't really willing to carry one. Although they are so angelic and cute, they can be pretty fragile. And yea, I finally carried one! :D The parent of the kid is only like eighteen and I'm so speechless. Plus, this is the second child. Wow. And they literally threw the baby under the hands of their great grandmother. Great.
My mother's family tree and network is so big that she will have tons of stories to hear from my grandmother and aunts. Harmless and endless gossiping of one another is the usual phase of their life. The typical aunties' behavior. Sometimes, I wonder, wouldn't it be great if they substitute part of these with more meaningful things to do? Such as more commitment to their faith and more physical exercises?
Heard of my uncle having an affair with another woman. I'm so shocked and so pissed. Why guys would be blinded by the seductions and can bear to destruct a happy family. WTH. Guys will still be guys. Stereotypically, they ogle pretty woman and are dirty minded. I really hope that he will change his mind and save his family. Nobody can help much but we can only give the emotional and mental support.
Happy Chinese New Year!
I hope I'll have better perception and judgement and of course, LUCK.
Love,
Heal
Hello the new year!
Hello Tiger! I hope this year will be better albeit the unpleasant predictions.
Bless everyone with health and happiness.
YESH, I'm liberated from the cubicle. Well, it did sound depressing. I can't wait to go Malaysia. Guess life is all of anticipation and that forms the most of the excitement and elation.
The reunion dinner is -.- cos the pen chai isn't up to my expectation. While I still prefer steamboat, this dinner is the healthy alternative! Afterall, the superstition is that I shouldnt complain and rant too much in the cny period, so I shall sound (: The best thing is that I don't feel bloated.
Still, my cough is such a turner. I cough wherever I go and the worst is the uncontrollable and unstoppable cough.
Happy thing is that I had good food today! In the morn, afternoon and dinner!
Dear Shooting Star,
Indeed, work is -.- A loner in a cubicle. ZzZ
Wonder why life has to be always be restricted with all sorts of manners and behaviors. The office language or conversation has sometimes irks me of the way we have to 'act' to sound polite and nice.
I kind of love the instructor way of talking and his so-call logic of life. While his incessant reminders thats all things in life such as driving ethics needs attitude and discipline did bemuses me, it is pretty true.
Sometimes, it can be fun to mimick the streotypical way of how uncles will talk. (: While the hokkien mix with Chinese and English language did sound kinky and the tone can be a bit brusque, at least they are capable in being straightforward of what to say. Straight to the point with just a few words.
Shall work on this. :D
Went to Melacca this week and was so stuck by the scorchness. The street did reminds me of roads along Chinatown in their Jonker streets and we visited the same shops again. Still, I had fun mixing with my friends to know them better! Plus, I was elated that I managed to safely navigate them around the streets in Melacca. And, introduced them to eat some authentic dishes of the state.
While the cendols (*2) we ate was disappointing and could no longer bring me the nostalgic feeling of eating them while I was young, I love the chicken rice balls and the steamed hainanese white chicken. It might look slightly bland but I do love the fragrance of the sesame oil on the chicken. YUMMY!
And I totally love this spongebob, since it is so unique! Thanks a lot! The crochet master! :D
HAPPY!
Love,
Heal
