There was a string of things/events/occasions which happen over the past 2 weeks.
Things I never get to blog about.

Before I knew it, the year is coming to an end.
Suddenly I freaked out.
I wanted to start 2009 with a new chapter. No 2008 entries in 2009.
OCD, Nurul will call me.
Very structured. Prim & proper.

That's me.
And I think it will always be.

Usually I am not in town during this time of the year.
For three years consecutively I was in Kuala Lumpur.
This year we break the cycle since Nyai is at home and at no point of time can the family go on a holiday together.

At least not yet.

I am going to miss the people I meet in KL and definitely, I am going to miss the fireworks.
I can still vividly remember the time back in 2007 where there was a fireworks competition in Putrajaya and the family was there to witness it for a good 45 minutes.

So, there will be no entry of how lovely fireworks are etc etc.

This year, I met so many people in the streets who I probably have not met for ages.
Mostly they are of the opposite sex.
They will give me this very surprised look and say I do not seem to age. Truth is I do.
Some will ask me when was I available for a date.
*laughs*
They were merely joking.

I will only respond asking them how they are going to welcome 2009.
Its new for me since I never knew how the Singapore culture of doing it.

I questioned myself whether I was in for loads of fun.
I wasn't.
Till now, I still do not have plans and will leave it that way.

I took an abrupt half day leave to spend it with Nurul cos the mothers are complaining how come we never had enough.
Since my parents were in KL and hers in Padang, she had the car and off we scooted to watch Twilight for the second time.

Thanks Nurul for concentrating more




Caught up with an old JC mate and we spoke and spoke through salad.
We have always been good friends and I am glad we did catch up.

Then over the weekend, I acoompanied dad to 2 weddings afterwhich he sent me off to my Primary School reunion.
Yes, this is the first time you heard me talking about my Primary School days.
It was not the most fantastic time in my life especially when I switched schools at the age of 9.
As per normal, I wasn't in the popular group and always known as the loser.

Today, I took it easy.
While I honestly was not comfortable entirely, I made the most of it.
There are nice girls out there or those whose approach have changed.
Some remained the same.
In fact, some are on my Facebook and some reads this blog.

I still cannot deny how amazed I have seen them grown up.
In fact, there are some whom I could not recognise.
So I pulled out my IC which still has my 12-yr-old picture and ask if they had the same.
Only some of us did. Others had their IC photos changed.

But when I put it together, YES! I did remember them.

Here we were back when we were 12.



Here we are today.





They were having games of bowling which obviously I could not be able to join them.
I'd probably trip on my kain and have the bowling ball roll into someone else's lane.

That night, I went to town with only the slightest touch of blusher.
Thank God the lighting was yellow.
Do you know how much flaws it cover your face on photographs?

I treated the family to a 24-hr TCC in town which we had been longing to, only to keep on ending up at Mac D.






Over the weekend, I spent time with my mom's cousins.
My closer aunties and it is amazing how we got to know more of them and they of us.
Apparently, mom fell sick last minute and it was just me, Lil Sis and my 2 aunties.

It's really amazing how the group of people circling me changed faces.
I lost friends, honestly sadly, it was just meant to happen.
For the better or for the worse, I am only happier.

Life to me will continue to be like this, though I am enjoying every second and moment for it.



A picture can tell you a thousand words.
It is up to you to create my story.

I will continue mine tomorrow. Before the New Year.
No leftovers remember?

Faith is like electricity.
You can't see it but you can see the light.
