Surprise surprise!!

After a month not coming back home,I was so excited to come back.When I reached home,the first thing I did was scream "I'M HOMEEEEEEEEE".I ran to the kitchen and into the back room when my brother told me he had a gift for me.

So I was so excited.Yayy,Leonard's gonna get me a gift.And then he said this"Why is the house so quiet?".So I replied back and said "cos I just came back".Little did I know that there was a big surprise awaiting for me.

He then opened my bathroom door and there there were.Tush and Mohana.

"SURPRISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

I got a shock of my life.You should have seen my face.It was so epic.

I was so shocked that I rolled on the bed.

All this while,they were hiding in my bathroom.So that was the gift.The two musketeers.I was shocked okay.

I well,wanted to take the cab or get  a lift from somebody to take me to Tush's house.She just came back from Argentina and it has been a year since I last saw her.

But I guess my plan didn't work out,because she and Mohana gave me a surprise.

We then ate our lunch.It did not occur to me why my mom would get that box of KFC chicken.I thought there were visitors in the house.My,my.It was actually for all of us.

We talked a lot.Tush told me all the breaking news about Argentina.Most of the news were shocking to me.Tush is not that innocent girl anymore.Haha.Mohana already knew most of the stories because Thava and her visited Tush a week ago while I was still in  Melaka.

It was a great day spent with good friends.And it was good to see Tush back after a year!

Half empty or half full?

Do you all still remember the half empty half full cup analogy?

People would ask you'll whether the cup is half full or half empty?Some would say half full others would say half empty.When you say,half empty,they would say that you are a negative person.

Remember?

Maybe,maybe not.

But this is what I remember.Some adult told me to look at it at half full.Because it meant that I would look at it at a positive perspective.

But here's the thing.I looked at the cup half full a long time ago.

Here is the reason why I will choose half empty if you would ask me half full or half empty.

Because half full means contented at what you already have.For example,achievements.
But half empty means not achieving what you don't have.For example a qualification.A masters for example(everyone gets a degree nowadays).

Knowledge for instance.Knowledge is something so complex.I would say knowledge is omnipresent.You know it's with you,but you can't see it.Even till you die,one never stops learning or studying.When you go to the library,you can't possibly read all the books in the library because new stocks would come in or you won't be able to apply everything that you have read.

Experience.Experience only comes with a lot of practice.An experienced teacher is better at teaching than a newly graduated teacher.Not all experienced teacher,but most of them.Only by experience can someone be good at something.

These are the things that I can think of right now.I don't know why I suddenly thought of this analogy but I guess it crossed my mind and when I thought harder,I decided to write about it.

Seremban fever!

I am currently studying in Kolej Matrikulasi Melaka,Londang.My college is no where near the city.It's far from it.It's in the rural area where you'll pass green paddy fields,old kampung houses and ocassionally a herd of cows crossing the road.The scenery is very different you see compared to my hometown,Seremban where there are no paddy fields,one or two modern kampung houses and mostly chinese eateries everywhere.

Masjid Tanah,the nearest town is about 15 minutes away from my college.This town is usually crowded with college students as they would usually but their food supply or just hangout with their friends at KFC or indulge in a bowl of Cendol or Asam Laksa.There is no shopping mall in Masjid Tanah.So if you want to go and eat Sushi or but the latest branded items,then you'll have to take a cab to Melaka itself which is about an hour or so.

I would usually go to Masjid Tanah once a fortnight to buy my food supplies.The environment in Masjid Tanah is very different to Seremban as there are more eateries,boutiques and shopping mall in Seremban.Living in Londang is like staying in a jungle area.

Coming back after an exam or on certain weekends to Seremban turned me into a foreigner in my own hometown.I would look out the window and just look at all the buildings,shops,and restaurants.Absence makes the heart grow founder.

Being at home now just made me realise how much I missed Seremban and everything about it!There is no place like home.

I don't drink.

Right.This is something everyone should know about me.I don't drink any sort of alcoholic drink.
I know this is weird because there are some drinks.Certain wines for example have very mild alcohol.But I still don't drink.There was once where I went with my family to some dinner or something.I can't remember exactly where but the adults were enjoying their wine.Even my mum took a glass of wine.My mum offered me a sip of the wine.But I refused to drink though it was merely nothing.  

I still don't drink.I will never drink any sort of alcoholic drink for the rest of my life and this is something that I hold firmly to.

I strongly think that people should have very strong core/firm values that they should hold on to.Because these are the values that defines a person.

Well,if you're going to put some Brandy into that fruitcake,I am not gonna eat it.Haha,just joking lah!


Them.

I don't need the whole world to be friends with me.

All I need is a circle of friends.

And I realised how important these friends are to me.

The four of us in Yacht Club,Port Dickson.
Good friends,I call them

They well,enjoy your presence,and the best part of it all

you feel completely at ease with them.

And I am lucky to have wonderful friends 

who are there for me

because without them,

I don't think life would be as colourful.

These are the people that means a lot to me.

They are more than friends.

I love them.

Friends.

You guys mean a lot to me.

My church friend,Charmaine and I.


Love life

So here I am back again with more stuff to share.

I've been thinking lately about life.I realised that time seem to past by so fast especially when you're having fun with your friends or doing the things that you like.

And then I thought about life.How life can be so short.I am already 19 this year.19.This is my last teenage year.I can't believe it.I am practically an adult already.Independence and freedom are slowly sipping into my life.Then there are decisions and tough choices to make.I realised being an adult is like having this extra sense.

I am very nervous about the future actually.Because I don't know what is going to happen next.Back in school,all I knew was that the future would be going to a next form and etc.But now,it is a whole different thing.I will be exposed to the world.The people out there and all,the working life and all.

Now that's a lot to grasp for a young 18 year old like me.From being taken care of everything by my beloved parents to being independent.That's seriously something to be worried.

Mistakes are bound to happen.I have and would made mistakes.Such examples would be choosing the right friends and so on.These things are not foreseen by me.

So I thought about it.And this was what I finally came up to.Life would be full of disappointments,heartbreaks,loneliness and so on.But no matter what happens,I would still embrace life and continue moving forth.Because I know that life is beautiful and I will love life for all it has given to me no matter what happens.Will you too?
