~*It's 2am in the Morning*~

I'm sitting on the bed and have the fan turned on to full blast. It's cool enough for me to just sit here and wondering what am I doing here on this hour of the day.

It's 2am in the morning, I have just logged out from Facebook, thinking that it's definitely a wonderful tool ever for year 2008. It helps you connecting with your friends; long lost friends; family members; ex boyfriends/girlfriends (whether you like it or not) and "maybe" your boss. It kinda make the line between privacy and publicity become blurer.

It's 2am in the morning, I just logged in to every blogs that I have been following. It's interesting to read how everyone of us are going through something different EVERYDAY! Some tragic things that might have happened; interesting view on relationships and exciting trips that they have just been to. Publicity greater than privacy...

It's 2am in the morning, it's bed time. But I am refusing to go to bed, only having the only source of light coming from my lap top screen. I am publicly sharing with the rest of the world (or at least to the people who is reading this blog) of my private life.

It's 2am in the morning and it is 7am NZT. I have turned on the ZM streaming. My favourite station in NZ. Listening to the ads and found out that COLDPLAY is going to NZ for a freaking concert!!!!!!!!! I'm down! Seriously! Listening to the news and am still up to date with the weather and news... (I don't miss home... NO I DON't!... sorry I lied...)
It's 2am in the morning, knowing NYE is tomorrow but have nothing planned. It's not like me, so is it going to be a "Have youself a little quiet NYE"..? Ha...

It's 2am in the morning; I am deciding on my New Year resolutions...

不開心的時候﹐
對著你們訴苦。。

不停不停﹐
從復再從復告訴自己﹐
明天會更好~

~*Dennis & Irene Wedding*~

My dear 3rd sister's wedding was about three weeks ago, since then I have been trying to upload some photos to my facebook, however, for some reason it always fail to upload. Hence, the only way to share the photos with my friends and family (you know who you are...lol) is through here.

Then this can be a story telling blog in regards to this famiy wedding. Well, really, these photos were not really taken by me, some of them were from my sister and some by my cousin. I was just way too busy slaving to take any pictures.

We were hiding in this room while the groom came around to pick-up his bride. (well, just want to make it harder to get...) lol...
Apparently, the grooms and his "brothers" were searching around the house... every single rooms except this one.

So with no time wasted we took this opportunity to take some photos in the room. (Please excuse my fat arm). Yes, there were a few of us, there were more than a dozen of us in the room.

Dennis finally found his bride in the wardrobe after mistakenly thought she was in the bathroom and sang out loud "You are so beautiful to me~~~" at the wrong door.


The church decoration was well-donely done (sound a bit odd, but you get me) by my older sister Nora and my cousins.

Well, we got a biiiiit nervous at the start for this 1000+ guests wedding reception. I'm sure we pulled it off well at the end... Thanks to the red wine... *big smile*

Taking pictures with the family after the wedding reception.

Now, the MCs present you Mr. & Mrs Wong!!!!!! CONGRATS!

~*Things that I have done on the last day of Nov 08*~

On the last day of Nov 08, I got up on a nice sunny Sunday early morning after a long distance call from my cousin, Chester (who intentionally wanted to awake me). With a nice beach view in front of me AND I got up in between my two little cousins. Who one was snoring all night long and the other one on my left was sleep talking all night long which frankly gave me a fright. *chuckle*

In about a week ago, Dad asked me if I wanted to attend one of his staff's wedding in country side which is about 3 hours drive from home. I have agreed to go with him since it's a traidtional Malay wedding ceremony. As a big fan of wedding (don't get me wrong) I just like to attend weddings as it's just so happy to see how two blessed family combined to one.

From memory, the last Malay wedding that I have attennded must be before the age of 7yrs old. So this really excites me.


The entrance to the bride's home. (The groom is coming to come to bride's home)


These are the chairs for the bride and groom to sit at for the ceremony. (Very pretty~~)


Under the house, there were a group of makcik (aunties) playing traditional musical intrumens and dancing with it. Note: This side of the house is only for women



The arrival of the groom with makcik-makcik playing traditional musics making his entrance to the bride's home.

Traditional "feeding each other" ceremony. (I don't know what's the proper word for this... hehehe"


Though it was a very hot sunny day (I even got tanned skin), it was overall a very fun and interesting day. Trust me, it's so hot that everyone been hiding under sun shades, despite of the hot weather, everyone still had fun being away from the city and enjoying the kampung (village) style wedding.

~*Directions*~

First ever holiday with nothing attached,
Free and worry-less...

Somehow, life is not being directed,
It gives me a sense of emptiness...

What should I be expected?
Believing in HIS plan for me, so "waiting" is not worthless...

Once again, learn how to trust is needed,
So it will guide me to happiness...

~The Aftermath*~

After months of rushing here and there, it's time to slow down and seek for directions. I am the kind of person who always go back to the basic when things have started to turn blurry and complicated. As we have started from the fundamental of a purpose or a goal, so our actions and decisions that we have made served the foundations towards to goal that we are heading to.

In a lot of times, we have lost our directions due to external and internal factors hence making us all confused and might be making us starting going through a different track. Not necessary to be the wrong track, but different track. So, when this happens, it's time to go back to the basic.

However, the aftermath of all the movings; cleaning; packing; wedding and touring. I have started to feel just a liiiitle bit of demotivated. It may just means that I need some rest.

IF... only IF I get to choose where to go, this will be the place:

Shangari La Rasa Ria Resort


It is really a place to be... why?



This is the wedding pavillion, it is so beautiful that I even said I will have my wedding ceremony here. lol...

I would love to stay here and just enjoy the sun with some cold drinks on my hand for the afternoon and put my feet up... such a divine sensation.


Last but not least of course the Cost Bar and Restaurant.

~*Wedding Preparation*~

Five more days to go until the day of my sister's big day. This wedding has been preparing for the last 10 months (as far as I know). Looks like the preparations are now 80% done. Tomorrow will be church rehersal. (Nothing much for me to do apart from assisting the bride *laughs*)

Brooches for ushers have been done by ourselves, my cousin Yan has come out with the idea of how to make it nice. In two days we have finished the 26 brooches for the male and female ushers.

I think this is wonderfully done. Well, just cross our fingers and hope these are anough for the ushers...

As for the ladies:


For the gentlemen:

Hope the gentlemen ones is not too "cc"... lol

~*In C Minor*~

Hello flute!

How are you? Sorry I have to abandoned you when I fly. Please blame the mean man at the airport , he doesn't allow me take you with me. (+_+) ~~ Even after I said I am leaving the country for good, he even wanted me to throw you away. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........................

Do not worry, I will be seeing you again in two months time, hopefully by then I can still pick you up and play.

Remember how I picked you up once again after 10 years to start playing. You and I can't even make up a single note. I almost thought something must be stuck in the flute. *laughs*

~*Back With the Family*~

Is it just me? Or does it happen to everyone who left home or stayed seperately from your family and feel that pressures of living together... again?

Sometimes I wonder if this is the right decision? But keep on telling myself that this is only for temporary, soon I will head out to my big OE. However, the temporary is now going to be at least five months.

Ok... Ok... I shall concentrate on what I am doing now.

Focus focus!

~*Plan? No Plan?*~

Six months ago, I have planned a plan.

Within six months the economy starts to deteriorate in a way that it was describe as "financial tsunami". Then everyone been asking me if this is the right time to leave and go on my OE. Actually, I don't know what is going to happen. But I should try, if I don't try I never know if this is going to work nor if I can do what I want to in a different country.

My room is almost packed and soft toys are all packed in two bags one to take with me and the other one to stay back. Don't think I can take all my beloved CDs and DVDs with me.

So far about 98% of my friends and family reckon that I will be back in Auckland soon. I mean... i would be happy to be back home and home as in Auckland. But, this idea is a bit silly....

Oh well, I have a plan, more plans are coming up.

Anyhow, I shall look forward to my simple life! THEN... I will decide where I'm going next.

~*The Time Is Close*~

It's not even that long to go until I departed this city. Actually, none of the things that seems to be 100% completed and ready to leave here.

The house has been cleaned out (mostly). Managed to throw out the old and donate some better things, sold some of the newwer stuff and been given stuff away to friends and family who needed them.

For a long time, I finally managed to see the corners of my garage; the nice big dinning room and set up a study room. While this all seem really nice, it's time to say Good byes.

I have started to say my goodbyes since last week. So been having dinners; lunch and drinks but still more to come this week and the following week. My timetable is now all full... and anxiety have started to arised...

I know I shouldn't be worry too much, sometimes you just can't help it.

IT's going to be hard to say goodbyes to my friends...

My dear friends...

~*Mix Feelings*~

We have gone through the time tunnel.
My place; coffee and cakes. These are the stuff and gathering that the inner group will have almost every fortnightly or at least once a monce. After FranFran brought us the apple turnover, pizza sticks, caramel slice, cream donut and etc. ^o^

These food brought back the old memories, the good old memories from good ol Howick College. How were the teachers used to do treat us; our favourite teachers and our worse class.
The places/blocks that we used to hang out.
Wagging is like the highlights of my college years. lol...

So we took a trip back our old school Howick College::

The entrance have changed soooo much, it's now more sophisticated and nice. ;)


This is one of the route that have not changed. The same H and T Blocks, same path and same rubbish bins (according to Franfran)


Hey... they have handle down the stairs now!! I remembered how I used to walk down the hill with my heads down as I do not know how to enjoy student life... back in the days...




This little walk always seems longer back in the days... When we look at it now, it seems a lot shorter... Guess course, we have been through a longer path...

Yay!! On the field...


Canteen... backed in the days, it's where the "Most looking forward place" of a day. You will find me here buying my everyday lunch here...

It's been 10years since I left school... It's such a enjoyable walk around here... So happy that I have my old buddies walking around the school together one more time. ^^

~*Towards to end of Sep*~

It's heading towards the end of September, this means I only have another month to go.

Feeling anxious and started to feel emotional as the departure is getting closer and closer.

Anxious, because I have a lot of take care and worry that I am not able to have everything sorted before I go.

Emotional.... I will miss my friends.... !!!

~*Sydney Trip 08*~

Awesome trip at Sydney, this is my third time visit SYD and first time with my close friends.

On the early hours of 5th Sep, we got to get up at 3:30am and get ourselves ready to go to the airport...
Four excited and yet kind of tired people.. got in the plane and 2hr 30mins later, we arrived in SYD! yay!! That's when our journey started...well.. our eating and drinking journey... lol

Transport from Airport to city central (we stayed at Hyde Park Plaza) are very convenient, took the train and took us less than 30mins to get there. Our apartment unit was not ready.... so we dragged our tired body and have our coffee at the nearby Gloria Jeans.

At 10:30am, our room KINDA ready but we can check in. After our bags are all put in the room, we went to yum cha and Paddy's Market at China Town.
Therefore, Hightlights of the trip:

Just in case you wonder: "why yum cha in SYD?" That's because they have a wider range of food and also fresh prawns... everything is fresh...




Old Vienna Coffee House...QVB
Not sure if it's a must go place, but it's the nicest hazelnut merique that I have tried.


Nick's Seafood Restaurant, Darling Harbour
Not the freshest seafood that I have taste, but the cray fish is definitely BIG!



The wet weather, both umbrellas were considered the best buy of the trip! :)


Inner Group *spotted* at Bondi (part of Inner_group actually)


Ok... getting a bit silly there...

Löwenbräu beer at The Rocks
I love their idea of 300ML; 500ML and 1L of beer... mmmm~~~


These sushi are such a devine.. definitely a "to-die-for"... also by now, my eyes bags are getting heavier... darker eye circles....


4 days of eating and drinking.... excessive walking... we were all way too tired.
Sat on the chair waiting for our flight to come back home!!

~*Life After Olympics*~

For past 16days I have been addicted to Olympics, basically turn the TV on as soon as I get home. The Kiwis did well with the medals, I almost cry when Mahe used all his energy to compete the race, he has done a wonerful job. *RESPECT TO YOU BRO*

Now back to my normal life - Been really busy with everything. Packing, packing and packing. I reckon I am busier during the weekend and after work than normal working hours. Though not as busy, work has been quite full on and some of works it's just repetitive.


Concentrate on planning!!!!

~*Beijing Olympics 2008*~


Since the heat topic at the moment is all about the Olympic in Beijing, of course, I am taking a closer look at the event.
Stayed up all night till 4am (due to time differences), just for the Kiwi team made their entrance to the Bird Nest in Beijinng.

No doubt the opening ceremony was breathtaking. Cries of excitement started at the very beginning... from the light drums countdown to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style for the lighting of the Olympic flame. Guess... because I can somehow related to the history of China the sets that been performed have made a lot of sense to me. I was particularly touched of the theme song, though may not be the most vocal/up beat song... the simple lyrics and rythm just brought back the them of - You and me, from one world.. it's that simple...

Since 2001, after the announcement that Beijing will host the 2008 Olympics, honestly, I havent pay much attentions and frankly, I can say 70% of what I have heard about the event has been negative. Hence, I haven't pay much attention to it. But after the Opening ceremony from last night... I have done some google on it.

Li Ning, the one who light the Olympic Flame running across the wall.... He is indeed a legend of gymnastic... Then I googled him and saw some of the footage from youtube. After you see his sets in gymnastic back in the 80's, then you'll know - THAT'S why he been addressed as the King of Gynast!




Now, I know why Chinese were so looking forward to this day....


GO Go the Kiwi!!!
Go GO the Malay!!!
Go Go the Chinse!!!

These, what made up of me... lol...

~*Happy... It's Easy*~

Being happy is not a very hard task. You will always meet people with lots to worries. You might be one of them in one point, or you might see a lot of people going through all these worries and uncertainties hence feeling all insecure.

I might still have my ups and downs at times. However, at least now I know I can handle them better.

When I started this blog I have named it "The Journey". As I know life is a journey and would like to record it down. Things that I am going through; things that I have been through and wonder... where/how I come out from the other end.

There are a few changes that are happening in my life at the moment. Not only planning of the departure of Auckland... The place that I live all through my teenage years and early adults life. Memories and a sense of comfort have been built. Now I have decided that I should move out from my comfort zone and start a new life... Cause I believe this is how you can grow. Again this is a journey.

Then, of course. I am feeling closer to God. This have really made a huge different in my life... Knowing you can let God be the driver of your life and HE is always so unconditionally love us. I have put my worries behind. This will be a journey too... taking steps... One by one...

~*Centre Of The Attention*~

Ever been the centre of attention??
It's not your birthday party,
Not your wedding,
not your graduation day,
Not that you were the hottest person in town,
Nor you have the weirdest appearance...

It's because of two big bags,
Paper bags and they are not rubbish bags...

It is ....




Pinga, Fung and I were the centre of attention after our shopping spree in Gucci.
Can't believe we attract instant attentiona as we walked in to the restaurant..(Well, yeah, never have that in my life without decorated with these two bags)

Soon people just start discussing about...not us, but the two big bags...



No wonder a lot of people are after brand, now I know why. Not only projecting a status also the attention.

Ok ok... I'm not a brand slave, but I do love Gucci bags (who doesnt...) so with Pinga''s glory, I have found my another love of the life.

~*Beethoven's Symphony*~

Watching the performance of an Orchestra live is priceless, after all these years I got a chance to attend one of the performance by Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. When Fung and I looked at their programme we have locked in and wanted to watch this show!!

Beethoven Symphony No.7... sounded exactly like that one I have heard before. (Except the whole music lasted for about an hour) heheh... which doubled the enjoyment.



The exprience of watching the symphony performance live, you can really see how the conductor lead the whole group. The different sound level are just amazing, imagine it, orchestra is playing the music purely by their technique nothing to do with any digital sound affect. So solely the volume itself, it's all control by the player with their own technique.

Then conductor acted like a digital music editor to adjust the effect of sound from different part of orchestra e.g. the string, then comes the drum, then the flute and then the trumpet ... at the end they all fited perfectly.

Yes, only one word after the performance.

BRAVO!!!

~*Last Friends*~


"Everyone have their own problems and secrets that they can never tell a soul.
Everyone is suffering from some kind of stress that no one can understand."





One of the most beautiful scene...
Miruchi is suffering from domestic violence and sat at the park alone was being picked up by Ruka...
Ruka brought her back to "share house" without asking her the reason why she's alone,
but Ruka can tell that Miruchi is feeling lonely...
Ruka saw Miruchi wept during her sleep and got all upset and kiss the girl she always been in love with...

~*Timeless*~

There is a saying in Chinese, it something goes like "You learn as long as you live" Which means that no matter how old we are, we shouldn't feel too old to learn things. You can challenge a lot of things, but try challenge the chinese saying. They are pretty accurate, in fact, I think we kind of live with it.

Reaching the big 30 in a couple of years time, I have encounter maybe a late 20's crisis. It's not as scary as it sound, but I have come to realised how I have wasted almost half of my life so far. All I have always been wanting all my life was a simple and less-stress life. Escaping from the real world or family business/issues.

Now that, come to think about it. How I used to have these big dreams about what I wanted to be in my life then how I was so ambitious... None of what I wanted to be have come into place today.

"Not to waste any time" it's like my motto at the moment, not wanting to have any more blanks. I have been living in a life of clueless and goal-less for a long long time. I think it's time to step out from my self-built comfort zone, go and experience something difference. Or really, maybe just do things that I used to enjoy and also picking things that I used to be interested in and maybe pursue the knowledge to a fruther level.


Sometimes I look at myself and think all to myself... I can be better... and now I am trying to be... ok... working on it anyway.

Try not to say "maybe", "might"... more to "definitely"... "it is..."

~*Life Outside Work*~

I am trying to pick up something again that I have done back in school.
It's been a while and hopefully I can do this... :)

I want to fill up my free time... so instead of work, I want to do something else too...

Something that I enjoy something that I like. Not but or ummm... I am definitely going to do it!!

~*Made of Honor*~

Over the weekend I have been to the movie twice. I watched Ironman on Friday night and then Made of Honor on Saturday.

As with Ironman I reckoned it's a typical superhero movie. Interesting and predictatble with how the storyline is going to go.

As with Made of Honor, it's quite refreshing. It's like My Best Friend's Wedding. However, in the other way round. The story is pretty simple, but the story is not what's important, it's how the actors and actress carry out the different scenes.


I have lots of laughs throughout the movie, especially with some stupid-and-yet funny lines and scenes. I like how the movie kept me smiling even after I walked out from the cinema. Also, the movie has reminded me a good friend of mine once had asked me to be his "best man" for his wedding and he will be my bridesmaid for my wedding. Of course I didn't appeared to be his best man when he got married. But, I will definitely make him my bridesmaid SHOULD I get marry oNe DaY...

~*Grey Skies*~

It looks likes we are now in the middle of Autumn and it has been raining for the past three days. The whole city is so grey and wet, which has totally effected my mood. But, I know I can not be effected because of the weather.

Recently, there are a lot of things happening and that got me thinking. With my problem I can always think too far and hence not able to bounced back, eventually from a very optimistic thoughts lead to pessimistic thinking. These "things" that I have been thinking about, well, some of them I can share it and to a point they are sick of me talking about it and some of these "things" appeared that I am the only person who can solve it.

Have I been happy recently? I think I have, but my "thinking" have started taking a toll over my emotions. Have you ever felt so vulnerable? Like so fragile that you can be broken with just a single touch? Some might not notice this as you look just fine and solid from the outside, but really, what's inside are all hollow.

A caring hug might send you to tears and a concern phone call from someone you love might fill up some of the empty spaces.

~*Thinker*~

There were a lot to digest, words and phrases are still digesting in the mind.
The thinking progress have then turned into a dead end corner which was not able to make a U-turn; to come back right up.
Why?
Feel like something had hit hard and the thinking cells are once again awaken by the hit.
Standing at the dead end corner and none is making sense, the best thing to do is to lean on Him.
He will give you the answer, He has the plan.
Trust Him...
Thank you, He opened the door at the dead end corner and welcomed me...
Now I feel safe and released...

~*Decision...Decision...*~

Ever feel like you have thousands of words wanted to start pouring out from your mouth, but when the right person is there and at the right place; not a single word could come out?

This is all because of trying to make decisions...
When there are options there are chances...
When there are options and chances then you have to make a decision...

Seriously, I have not making any major decisions on my own over the years. All things seem like going according to plan or chance. Being a conservative investor like I am, I have to make sure the decision that I make is the one that is most beneficial.




The options are quite different from each other... It's like...
Do you want a change? Explore into a different lifestyle? Different environment? Face the new challenge? Which might be quite tough... or
Do you want to stay ? Stay with things that you are familiar with and comfortable with? Building confidence and be an expert on the current things?

Once again, I think I am blessed. I have my friends my family who always being very supportive with my decisions... But I'm here... thinking... not sure what to do...

~*Encounter Someone Rude*~

Me: "Hi, this is xxx calling from xxx. I am aware that you took over the store as of (date). I am trying to get hold of the old owner in regards to the account."

New owner: "You know I took over the shop as of (date) and I should not be paying the old account as well."

Me:"No... you do not have to pay for the old account. However, I need to contact the old owner, do you have his contact?"

New owner: "No, you can not get hold of him cause he passed away."

Me:*shock* *Speechless* "oh... ok... so do you know who is looking after the account for him?"

New owner: "yes you can talk to me,I am his son."

(can't believe we have the previous conversation)

Me:"Oh... ok... this is about his account, there are still outstanding amount in the account that need to be paid off."

New owner the son:" I can't touch his money! I am not going to pay you..."

Me:"But you said you are now looking after the account and you..."

New owner the son:"No, I can't touch his money. He died without a will, so before I can touch his money I am not going to pay you."

Me..being stuck in the middle do not know what to say...

Me:"Since you said you are going to look after the account, then I will forward the invoices to you."

New owner the son:"Ok, but I am not going to pay you. It's his account, so if you want to get the account paid you can ask him... but that is impossible you know" *cheeky laugh*

At this very moment, I think he is starting to get a bit rude. First of all, I rang to do my job and I didn't know his father passed away and I just found out... so I was not trying to be rude here.

New Owner the son:"Ok, send me the invoices and I will think about it."

Me.. being nothing much that I can do... "Ok, I will send them to you and I'm sorry with what happened."

New Owner the son:"No sorry, we are talking about business here..."

ME...*speechless*

Can anyone tell me what is going in his mind?? Stress? Grief? But for some reason I really don't think he has much respect for his late father...

~*Crap - The Cold*~

Definitely not happy about this.

Got up in the morning with a sore throat, running nose and a headache.
Nothing that I really want to eat and hate to drive to get takeaway so when time is tough, then turn to the instant noodles.
Without any strength of doing anything too mentally consuming, I just watched TV (all day) and do some light chores around the house. Slept more until I desperately need some food not because I was hungry but I was extremely weak... Tough time... Tuna and crackers!! I'm sure this is why I have been stocking up instant food from last weekend...

Crap cold... crap food... and crap mood.. that's what my Saturday have been all about...




Qoute of the day: "The pain is there for a reason, cause you learn from the pain..."

~*Time is running out*~

I'm feeling anxious, cause I might be running out of time.
Still waiting for some sort of feedback...

Wait wait... be patience...

~*Stuck*~

When your planned journey has to come to a stop.... because you are stuck?
I have planned and I have looked forward to. When you thought everything will turn out to be fine and go as plan, other issues will start popping up. Most of the time it's not even your problem, it's always someone else's.



So why the heck has now become my own problem?

Just when you think you are having a nice jounrney...

something happened:
Car stuck in the mud and you can't really do anything until someone come and help you. Honestly, if Im that guy, I would have no idea how to walk away with a smile on the face.

I think this is what I should learn..."smile even if it turns sh$T, coz eventually it will work out..."
