.|.Out of this world.|.

Date: 28th April 2007

Music: At the cross, Hillsong

Mood: Happier.

Glad there was this song in 365 today. Am reminded that despite all my short comings and failures, at least somebody will still love me.

No, i'm not emo. I was, but at this moment, no. Very very happy, actually.

On another note, glad that Sue Min is back, and i'm feeling old after joining the 'senior' people for the "Let's Talk" session today.. Sue Anne mentioned that we would feel smaller, amongst all the 'older' people. True also lah.

-

Oh Lord You’ve searched me,
You know my way;
Even when I fail You,
I know You love me.
Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season,
I know You love me;
I know You love me.

At the cross I bow my knee,
Where Your blood was shed for me,
There’s no greater love than this.
You have overcome the grave,
Your glory fills the highest place,
What can separate me now?

You go before me,
You shield my way,
Your hand upholds me;
I know You love me.
And when the earth fades,
Falls from my eyes,
And You stand before me,
I know You love me;
I know You love me.

You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done.

[At the cross, Hillsong]

~ And i want to be the best i can be, even if it means only You'll be proud of me.

.|.A morning in..|.

Date: 24th April 2007
Music: Grace Kelly, Mika
Mood / status: Awake.. wide awake

Took a day off from school today. Had a stuffed nose this morning and felt like my head weighed a ton. Thankfully, mummy let me sleep in.

Suppose it's because i haven't had much sleep over the weekend, having hardly any time to do so, since on Saturday we attended Arris Aldillan's full moon dinner and we had a birthday dinner for Mummy on Sunday. Came home at what... 12? on both occassions. So, conclude that my lack of sleep came from there. Not complaining, though. Ngek.

Anyhow, had the opportunity to take a few photos this morning, think it was the cool and gloomy-ish weather that inspired me to go out and stand under the light drizzle, snap a few photos, then rush back in to shower before i officially made myself doomed to have a flu for the next few weeks.

Here are the pictures from my spontaneous "outing".. Says how much i'm actually out of the house, huh? xD

*note: the pictures are a bit small and look better in the larger size. To people like JanNy, you can actually click on the picture to enlarge it... xD Ngek. Though she's so utterly blur, still luv her loads...




The tree on the right, the one that produced the yellow flowers, is supposed to be the main object i was photographing, but ... i got distracted.



A view of the top, making me feel small and... short-er.



Two types of trees whose branches droop downwards..



Mummy's prized possession[s], the Staghorns; stolen from the Melaka jungle.. Shhhh..


And last but certainly not least, the one who accompanied me...



Jiji Yeang.


Have a great week, my dear readers!!

Hugs while trying not to sneeze on you,

.|.Adorable.|.

Date: 20th April 2007
Music: -
Mood / status: =]

Wahey, the emo girl is back!! Ngek. Anyway, a little blog about something cute that happened today.

Mum helped Uncle Boon Kee with some paperwork and so we sent it over to their house in Bukit Jelutong. Mind you, Uncle Boon Kee is somewhat my Godfather since he married my Godmother. Was working on my BM homework when mum said something like "Oh, then i'll send it over to you now lah. Want to see what my house looks like at night, anyway.".. Next thing i knew, mum had turned to me and said "I don't feel like doing work tonight, lah. Let''s go for a car ride." Really. Coming from the woman who continuously reminds me of how hard i have to work since it's the SPM year. =P Anyway, mum drove us all the way to Godma's house in Bukit Jelutong. We passed the "fantastically done" [these were his exact words] paperwork to Uncle BK and sat down to chat. Or at least they chatted and i listened..

They talked about the progress they had in selling the house, about lawyers, careers, and all that stuff la. Sitting in that mini bar of theirs, it was relaxing as usual. Then they started on the topic of marriage. Think it stemmed from the argument on whether or not the husbands appreciated all the 'running around' the wives did for them. Anyway, here's a snippet of the conversation...

Mum: In my opinion, i don't think they should be getting married at such a young age...
Uncle BK: Wehhh, where got young? I got married rather young. [To his first wife, who has passed away]
Lyn: How young were you when you got married?
Uncle BK: *thinks* I had my first child when i was 25..
Mum: Married at 24, lah.
Lyn: That's young, wei.
Mum: Ey, your Godma almost did, y'know?
Lyn: *turns to Godma* Really?
Uncle BK: Yahh... Handsome some more, that man. *winkwink*
Godma: But then that time his parents also wanted to take me to Australia with them.
Mum: Luckily you didn't go. If not like... caught.
Uncle BK: But if she married him, them he'll take good care of her, pamper her la, all that. *cheeky tone*
Godma: *di-ejek* Where got lah.
Uncle BK: RICH WAN!!!!
Lyn: xD... So Godma, how did you say no to him?
Godma: Just say no lah, like don't want to go out with him...
Uncle BK: *conspiring* Some more that time there was also that other guy..
Godma: Yeah, that Frances guy.. *recalling*
Mum: He passed away, right?
Lyn: Eh, how?
Uncle BK: Heart problem.
Godma: No lah, he had cancer!!!
Mum: *laugh* BK, why did you say heart problem?
Uncle BK: Heart broken, mah. *wink at Godma*
Godma: No lah. He was treated by ** [her first husband, who has passed away]
Uncle BK: So he can come and see you.
Godma: Such a thing...?
Uncle BK: Anything to be close to you. xD
Godma: No lah, that time also i didn't go and see him. You'd think people would do such things, meh?
Uncle BK: *innocently* Dunno...? *smile*
Lyn: Aiya Godma.. To Uncle BK, you are the most attractive woman, so in his opinion, all the guys will go all out for you wan.
Uncle BK: *agrees*.. xD

-

My goodness. For 60-over year old people, i think they are a rather cute couple. Not only is Uncle BK so funny and nice, he likes to tease my Godma and she is always so easily embarassed. What's more, Uncle BK, who has known Godma for ages, says he's had to pursue her for what.. 10 years? before he actually got to marry her because she kept pushing him aside. xD

-Just some random thingy i thought i'd post up, a nice change from my emo-ness.

Smyles,

.|.Things are like....|.

-Ngek.

Date: 18th April 2007
Music: With Love, Hilary Duff
Mood / status : =P [Funny how i tend to blabber so much and yet my mood is expressed through an emoticon.]

Okay, reading my blog will make me seem like i have problems over problems over problems. Don't know, suppose its stress setting in.

I enjoyed Sunday...

On to the emo-ness. GE says that my blog is rather emo. Sorry that i'm keeping it that way. xD Suppose its because lately, i'm not the kind of person who would suddenly come and yell at you in your face. I keep alot of things inside. And that's why i need to blog about it. Maybe somehow, miraculously, someone would read about it and realise that i'm referring to him / her. Maybe then we could talk about it. But until then, ditto the confrontations.

I think that because i smile everyday, everyone seems to think that everything is alright. They seems to think that i'm not affected, that i'm not hurt. Sure i respect the fact that people are entitled to keeping and having secrets. But then again, suppose that they are so used to just leaving me out of it, they probably assume that i'm fine with it. It's like being a third wheel in a relationship- in this case, maybe it's fourth. Worse, no? I may have the amazing ability of turning off my sense of hearing and am capable of amazingly disappearing at the exact moment that i have to. I can be a wall and be invisible when they want me to. Chun, right? Man, i can be like Jessica Alba in that Fantastic Four movie. And because i'm so nice and accepting all the time, the only time when i actually get notice is when i don't talk, don't respond, don't smile, don't laugh. Tahulah i'm a brick wall. However, we crack sometimes.

PS: Just so you know, it's got nothing to do with him. Not everything that makes me moody has to do with him. Because, as incapable as i may seem to, i've gotten over him and moved on.

.|.Taekwondoe mania.|.

[The Taekwondoe gang, about 2 years ago..]
[L-R: SMun, Mia, YYY, Vincent, CKong, Lyn, Jess, Jade.]

Date: 11th April 2007
Music: With love, Hilary Duff [Lousy song, but it doesn't really matter since i'm so high]
Mood / status: High, ready to take on anyone who wishes to engage in a sparring match. xD


Before i start, i need to state the fact that the Taekwondoe [Tkd] gang has grown. Despite the fact that this is only my fourth year in SMKTS's Tkd club, know that the things that happened and the people there have significantly made my life the colourful, funky, crazy, and great one that it is today. Okay, sentiment is playing up.

Alrighty. Today was the MSSD Taekwondoe competition. Was in school at 7am. So early, i wanted to dunk my head in a bucket of ice-cold water, if only so i wouldn't have to slap myself. Why? Because as prompt as i was, no one else was there. Another thing about SMKTS' Tkd club- we're about as bad as people attending a Chinese Wedding Dinner- we're never prompt.. Anyway, all of us were there by about... 7:45. Left for the Community Hall near the Petaling Jaya stadium. Riding in Mia's car is always fun, especially when i have Xuan with me. Oh, and what a way to begin a day, we witnessed an accident where a Bas Kilang had been driven into a drain. Don't know if anyone was hurt, as we were just passing by. Oh, and a car full of Tkd people from another school was behind us. Unfortunately, some Mercedes decided that it would be no biggie that he cut into the line, right before the Tkd car- right behind us. How wrong he was. The Indian Tkd sir honked and refused to let him go any further. Talk about attitude. Don't know if all the Tkd people in the car got out to beat the guy up, though. xD

Chee Kong, our dear Captain rushed us right into warm up as soon as we arrived. Six lengths of jogging on the coarse surface of the little strip of pavement beside the tennis courts was enough to make our feet sore. Then, we did jumping jacks, and the traditional Tkd warm up. Jon Chan, our photographer for the day, started early and was already taking photos of our sweaty faces, from the very start. Am very proud to mention that i was part of the first cam-whore picture of the day. xD

It would be way too long a post if i went through every single detail that's etched into my memory, so will simply summarise. Besides, Chewie would say that my blog posts are essays... again. Anyway, there were tons of people there, from different schools. Also, as most of us are already rather senior, it's much more fun when we realise that many of the judges and referees [the walking bananas, as we term them, due to their bright yellow shirts] have either taught us before, or are our friends. Was pleasantly surprised when i met an ice-skating friend there; she was one of the referees.

The first few hours were full of anxiety, most of us too worried that we'd waste the warm up session if we sat down and allowed ourselves to cool down, even if like me, their bout was one that's ages away, like bout 71. For those few hours, we sat outside the air conditioned hall, watching the bags, guards, head gear, and so on. As Mia was like a Helium molecule right after warm up [she's like that when she's high], she was pretty tired out about half an hour later. So, Xuan n her started snoozing, or at least tried to. Then as time passed, we realised that not all of us had to be there to take care of the stuff and that we were actually allowed into the hall. Jess, Amos, and a guy whom i cannot remember his name were our "runners", taking care of us and making sure we went for inspection and were in the ring at the right time.

Was really good stuff, watching people like Chee Kong, Mia, Joyce, Hock Jeen, Nicholas, and Xuan fight. That is, even if Xuan lost because of the PMS-ing referee. I'm so proud of her because today was the first time i've seen her that 'ganas'. Usually when we sparred, i'd be the scary one. Ngek. And thought that it was rather nice that Sir Kok Eng went and told off the judge that Xuan was rightfully the winner since Xuan was the one who was more aggressive, had kicked the girl more times, and that the Kyongo's [fouls] given to her actually by right belonged to the opponent. Needless to say, Sir Kok Eng never went near that ring again in the fear that that referee would take points off our fighter just to spite SirKE. Yes, even Tkd has its politics. xD Besides Sir KE, Kok Keong, Felix, and even Ernest came!!

Took loads of photos, which i will post them up when i actually get them from Ms. Chen Mei Yen. (ahem). Oh, and how did i do? I lost. Am still rather disappointed in it. Suppose that i'm not really used to losing. But then again, there's always a first time for everything. Well, as i mentioned previously, i was in Bout 71, which means that most of the SMKTS people have gone and fought just as i was putting on the guards. Okay. To be very honest, despite what i may look like, i actually weigh a fair bit. Sooo, as stated in my previous post, i had to fight with biggie people, since we're arranged according to weight categories. Like boxing matches. So, i was up against this girl who had short hair, was way more buff than i am, and gave me the impression that she was the type of girl who pushed people around, including guys. However, when i chatted with her, she seemed nice enough. Not in the ring, though. I had gone in fully determined to get to at least the next two bouts. Then, i realised that it's not easy at all, baing considerably much smaller than she was. Sure, i tired her out, but she kept coming straight at me and just blocking. Like pushing her shoulders against mine so i couldn't move, and had to slide back just to get the appropriate distance to kick her. Time out, i was still pretty much full of energy since all i was doing was trying to get out of the small space she insisted on confining us in, and pushing me backwards. Coach Wan told me that i should just kick her since she was so near. Wise advice, but when i'm practically stuck to her...? I don't remember ever being so afraid of any of my opponents, until today. I was so afraid that she'd keep rushing headlong against me and dislocate my arm or something. And yes, despite my torrent of kicks and blows, i lost. Haiiihhhh.....

Oh well, here are the gold medalists that Tmn. S.E.A should be so proud of, friends that i am so glad and proud of..:
1. Amelia Chen.. truly, Murderess In Action. (MIA)
2. Joyce Chin [actually wanted to have the honour of sparring with her]
3. Nicholas Chin [my other twin]
4. Pui Yee [quiet but deadly]

Was an exhausting day, running everywhere. Nevertheless, it was a great and fun experience. Suppose i've forgotten just how much fun our Taekwondoe family is, how we tend to support each other, even if the ways we show it are usually weird. Feel somewhat sad that this would be my last year with this gila gang, so will make sure that i come back for training even when i'm in College. What? I've gotta be as thick-skinned as Kok Keong, right?


[Kok Keong, being weird as usual.
To Mia: Posting this cacat photo of him for all the world to see is payback since he was such a dongoi and didn't want to cooperate, no? ngekngekngekngek.]


Plus, i get to come back and bully Wai Phun, just as his brother bullied us. xD

.|.The blah-ness of it all.|.

Date: 9th April 2007
Music: Broken Strings, Jay Chou
Mood: Blah.

Ever felt that everything around you is so blah that you'd rather not even think of it? I don't even want to blog it to explain. Like you'd rather just focus on that one happy, promising thought, drown in it, let it totally saturate you, if only for the minute? Because it's an escape.

I know my escape...

-

I cried in school today. Like a total lame-ass, i cried. I never crumble under stress. I never used to care what people said or thought about my work, for as long as i knew i was up to my own standard. But that was when i wasn't in charge of other people's work. Back when people who didn't do their work, it just made me look better because i always met deadlines (if not sent in work way before it). Back when i didn't have to even bat an eyelash when others slacked. Back when i wasn't responsible for ALL of them. Tell you what, i'll take over the English Dept. and run it myself.

Save me the trouble of dealing with people.


Ugh.

PS:
To Eel, my dear tolerant and ever-suffering friend cum editor,
I'm sorry for all the stress and hassle caused because my dept. can't live up to Pn. Chung's (and maybe even yours, as mine) expectations. I really am sorry. If only for your sake, (because at the moment, i'm not quite enthusiastic about the honour of the post i've been bestowed, with the treatment that come along with it) will buck up and make myself look like an insufferable full-of-herself *insert not-so-very-the-nice word* to keep my dear probates on their toes.

PPS: To the darling Jit Yang, Sarah and Estee,
Thank you for not only noticing the fact that i was troubled, but for also asking, comforting, assuring, and getting me tissue.

PPPS: To my dear twin Jeremy Ng,
Thanks for the tissue.

The one and only,
~Lyn.

Suppose that taking these quizzes is a new way of de-stressing, since almost every blog i visit has it.. ie: GE and Mia. Quite fun to do, actually. =]

Who Should Paint You: Salvador Dali

You're a complex, intense creature who displays many layers. There's no way a traditional portrait could ever capture you!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Hmm... wonder if he's still alive.. Ngek.

You Are Mud Pie

You're the perfect combo of flavor and depth Those who like you give into their impulses

What Kind of Pie Are You?

~Yummy.

You Follow Your Head

You're rational, collected, and logical. Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love. In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky. While you're cool, you're not ice cold. You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it.

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

So i can ditch the song by DHT, huh?

You Are French Food

Snobby yet ubiquitous. People act like they understand you more than they actually do.

What Kind of Food Are You?

Never had French food before, though..

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you tend to be very romantic and demanding. You'll treat your partner like gold, but you expect a lot in return.

What Do Your Bathroom Habits Say About You?

And you got this from... my bathroom? xD

You Should Be A Poet

You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery... Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

To be, or not to be..... Oh wait, that's Shakespeare's PLAY.. Ngek.

Dark Purple

To others, you seem a bit dark, mysterious, and moody. In truth, you are just a very unique person who doesn't care what others think. And you really enjoy your offbeat interests and friends. You've decided that life is about living for yourself - simple as that.

What Color Purple Are You?

*Slaps a high five with Mia*

You Are: 50% Dog, 50% Cat

You are a nice blend of cat and dog. You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful. And while you have your moody moments, you're too happy to stay upset for long.

Are You More Cat or Dog?

Seriously...? But i don't like cats much...

Haa haa,
