i woke up at 5am in the morning, which is very rare..to get myself ready for Ash Wednesday Mass at 6am. i left home at around 5.40am thinking that there will be plenty of space for me. and to my surprise, there was traffic jam along the way. and, i'm blessed enough to get myself a nice parking space and a seat at the front pew..i thank God for that!

we received ash on our forehead, Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you will return.

Direct our hearts to better things, o Lord;
heal our sin and ignorance,
Lord, do not face us suddenly with death,
but give us time to repent.

Amen.

i left secondary school in year 2001 when i finished my SPM exam..i furthered my studies to matriculation and university, but it's not the same as going to school, where every one is in their blue- white uniform (for girls) or green- white (for boys), white socks and white shoes.

in school, there are too many rules where you are not even allow to bring towel hankie or put on perfume or use any coloured hair accessories. they must be plain dark blue or black..and many more. sometimes, i think it's ridiculous. anyhow, i'm glad i experience all of that..and, at times i just wish that i'll be naughtier during my school time, because i will have more stories to laugh about ifi bring it back to mind. i was the school prefect when i was in Form 2 up to Form 5. that was the reason why i am so skema.

last Saturday, i was back in school again. i was in SM Shan Tao Likas (heh, not my previous school) and this time i'm there, for another exam. the name of the exam is so long and i had to write them on every of my answer sheet. Peperiksaan Khas Memasuki Perkhidmatan Awam Pegawai Tadbir dan Diplomatik M41. well, it's not that i want to change my job, but i just give it a try. why not, if i'm given an opportunity. i'll think about it. =)

i had 5 papers on that day itself, and i got headache after the 4th paper. it feels so nice, sitting in the class, where it rained in the evening and i cant even hear what the pengawas was saying. i felt like i'm a student again. i did all the papers relying on my brain's ability to remember all the facts and information which some i never put into practice and my, for almost 8 years! i guess some of them are already out-dated..

hehe. somehow, i tried my best. i dont mind if i dont get through, but i'm glad i sat for the exam. =) i even met a few ex- school mates..that makes me happier!

i was awarded and tagged by Clare. and, more to my surprise, i'm the only one she gave the award to, and i'm the only one who got tagged. haha~

next, i have to tell 10 facts about myself..hmm, i think this is hard..i'm very bad at telling people about myself..but, i'll try, ok.

1. i love to eat..but most of the time, i have to control myself, or else i will become balloon..somehow, sometime, it's hard to control..hehe.

2. i love long distance journey..i can be the driver, if i'm not tired. =)

3. i won a bronze medal in lempar cakera when i was in Form 5..believe it or not? i didnt know i got it, until my name was announced during the weekly assembly..and that is my one and only medal i got in sports..i'm glad.

4. i used to dislike any types of curry (i think when i was 10), because there was one time when kakak cooked very nice chicken curry, and i had too much until i nauseated...but now, i can take curry again.. =)

5. and now, i dislike fresh taugeh, kangkung and lemongrass..i put the blame on the thai food that we (ben, ah meng and i) had recently..i wonder, if i can take the famous ipoh taugeh which is always served together with their famous chicken rice..

6. i used to hate durian because of the smell and they called me orang puteh..

7. i like to buy books but always cant find the time to read them..and i have to remind myself of those books i havent read, whenever i'm in the bookshop..i'll make sure i'll finish them all, one day.. ;p

8. i dont like to polish my nail because i feel like the nails telling me that they cannot breathe.

9. and i dont like to keep long nails, because i like them short. ;p

i just want to wish everyone happy belated Valentine. i wanted to post something on that day itself, but the internet connection at home is too..arghh. let's not talk about it. but, luckily, it got better today, and it's RM50 for that.

okay, back to my story..last Saturday, i went for tuition class as usual..i believe, for those who celebrated the day with their partner, i'm sure it was a beautiful day. somehow, for us singles, it was a day with full of love too! in fact, for me everyday is a day of love. =)

because of love, i bought some dried chrysanthemum flowers and rock sugar..

because of love, i boiled them..

because of love, i have tea to serve..

because of love, ah Meng got to drink home-made chrysanthemum tea..haha.

then, during the night,

because of love, i baked carrot cake..
because of love, i decided to go to membakut to visit mum and Ben on Sunday..
because of love, invited Ah Meng, Ah Ma and Milia to come along..
it's all because of love.. =)

i didnt get to take the picture of the cake. but, this was the carrot cake i baked few months ago.

see..it was a day full of love.. ;D

Dont worry, you're not old but you're wiser. =)

it has been 8 days since my last entry..hmm, and there's so many things happened in only 8 days. in fact, new thing happens every second of the time. sometimes, i cant even believe it, that things can happen so fast..superfast..

p/s: bunie, i think we should pray more, huh..

this was what i saw last night, when i was in the station filling up my petrol, after closing the shifts.. it's a very significant number. =)))))).

i'll tell you why..soon..

This is the reason why mom is in membakut. the reason why dad is always in membakut. the reason why we always go to membakut..

it's an expansion of dad and mom's business. Congratulation to Dad and Mom!

Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my many sins; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, prudence and patience, never surrendering to weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my motto in life and death. Amen.

Dear God, may you bless and guide them always in every decision they make. and i hope things will be better as time goes by. =)

mom was temporarily transferred to membakut. milia, ben, dad and i went there to send mom and helped her to move the things into our 'second home'.

i was sad. and i know ah ma is sad too. dad is stressed. ben and roddy looked gloomy. milia tried her best to make sure mom's necessities in the new house are fulfilled.

i baked some tarts for mom, so that she can have something to eat the next morning and she'll feel like home. *sigh* well, i do hope things in membakut can be stabilised very soon, so that we can have mom back at home. the house is different without mom.
