Inspired by Kopi

My mum and I were chased or more like stalked by a stray dog name Kopi.Yes,according to my mum most stray dogs are named Kopi.We were both terrified by this unwanted stalker,fearing that it would give us a bite.There is no one else around so all we could do was walk as fast as we can to the car.When we were about to reach the car,i turned around and saw that Kopi was right behind me.Well i am actually quite into having a pet dog,but then again who wouldnt be afraid of a stalking stray dog.But the point is,as scared as we were,we were actually more sympathetic of Kopi.My mum said he must be very hungry.So we decided to feed him with something we have.My mum gave him a nyonya kuih we bought from the pasar malam,although we should have gone with the fishball.But anyway,we managed to escape into the car.

And it got me thinking,all these pitiful stray animals they must have came from somewhere but probably are forgotten by somebody.Haih..what happens when they are caught and forced to be put to sleep.I cried watching it this afternoon.All these cruelty and suffering we selfish human beings have inflicted upon these innocent creatures.How they look at you when they know their lives are coming to an end.Sad really.I better not get too emotional.So people,if you have a pet go get them neutered.If you are intending of getting one,try the animal shelter homes.Yup!!All these in the spirit of making a difference and lessening the number of Kopi on the street.

Diplomat?

I really think i am becoming more of a diplomat everyday.Moving between separate worlds becomes my next hobby.

Like a 12-year-old.

Hopefully i wont "outgrow" it anytime soon.

My father bought a new set of matress sheet for me.It is rather cute and girly but also extremely 12-year-old as you can see above.Haha looking at his taste,i guess i'm always the little girl.But then i am perfectly fine with it,i really think deep down inside us,we dont wanna grow up so fast.We sometimes resist the cruel and hypocritical world by trying to be rebelious and have crazy fun.We dont want to grow up so fast so the time for us to take up real responsibility,to have to deal with those painfully difficult people would be later.As i can see with so many people i met,the price of making a mistake can be so much higher when you are no longer a school kid,how it truly is difficult to stay true to yourself while racing with the ever changing world outside to keep up.All the down sides when you step into the real world.

But as faith has taught us,there is always the bright side of things.I guess when we step into the real world one day,we would really learn to be independent,to answer to ourselves ...challenges are inevitable and hopefully it brings out the best in us.And for those who cant wait to grow up and get the hell out of their present life,i say..."chill lah kawan...the time will come for you to spread you wings and fly away.."

Life is going to be different at some point but just as beautiful just in another way.After all,a saying goes like this,its not what happens to you,its what you do about it.So people..rejoice!

My Saturday!

Right..right so i got pretty much to blog about today.Lets begin okay,as the usual "bookaholic",my father and I went to the popular bookfair in ikano-our usual hang out place.The place was super congested as a stretch of the main road was closed down to make place for the merdeka count down.And i was thinking...merdeka count down..erm patriotic.So so the point was we spent almost an hour at the bookfair mining for "gold".Haha i went searching and digging at the piles and piles of english books priced from as low as RM1...then the neat piles of chinese books.Hunting for books is so fun in the sense that when you found something you like..you can be so excited that you can feel the rush of adrenaline and not to mention sometimes you have to dig as deep as you can like the chinese proverb "the best thing is always at the bottom" so it really is hard work..lol.My hunt was rather fruitful as i got not less than 10 books at less than a 100 bucks.Brilliant me!!I realise i looked rather messed up when i left the place.You try squeezing between people and people carrying heaps of books.But then no complaint though!

Then after that i pretty much spent most of the afternoon reading..and keep reading.Wonderful..and i managed to finish a chinese book in 4 hours..continuously.It is the typical type of chinese love story.This is the first i read.I usually dont even bothered about picking one up as i was rather stereotypical too thinking that they are nothing but dramatic and shallow.But then after this book,i really ought to eat my words.This book is not too bad and i should say not all are bad too.Yes..it is mostly lovey-dovey stuff...but then isnt most books based on that too.Seems like it really is the main theme of books these days.So thankfully i feel like "dont judge a book by its cover" today or else i would have hold that misled opinion for a longer time.

Then there was the late dinner with mitchell that i just came back from.We went to ss2 and we were looking for parking and when we saw one,i was so truly excited that i didnt realise there was this big hole right before the drain.And before we know it..damn i have my right front tyre trapped in the big hole and worse i cant get it out!I got out of the car and see..oh dear the hole was really deep and no matter how hard i step on the accelerator my car just didnt move an inch.Then we were really panicking and totally helpless..what was two girls supposed to do now?!It scares us even more when we dont even know to whom should we call for help since both our fathers are not at home.Then there came a young man from behind us and offer to help.Gosh..i cant tell you how relieved i was.He saw whats the problem then asked me to first straighten my steering wheel..I was already so panicky that i remember asking him "how?" which seems so embrassing now and i was on the verge of getting out and ask him to do it.Then he helped me with it.Then he stood right beside the front tyre and ask me to step hard when he lift it up.I nodded.Then with much effort he lifted it up a little bit and my car was free!!We said thank you so many times..but when i want to turn around to thank him again he was gone.What a nice guy..my hero of the night..not everyone would have the heart to help or feel the need to help.Bless him bless him..i even have the thought of buying him dinner..but then he left too soon and we dont have enough money too.Twice i bump into this car problem..and twice my father was not around too so i really got help from these good samaritans.Once my tyre was punctured in Seri Kembangan..i want to ask help from my friend also difficult luckily an uncle changed the tyre for me.Cold sweat cold sweat..

Haha maybe i should learn some basic skills to handle these kind of unexpected incidents.So people call me if you see any workshop for this!So this is how i spent my saturday..not really eventful but rather satisfying.Cheers!!

"My new found treasures"

Read..read and read...

Okay..i am just so completely into reading these few days and it cant be good considering i have a few tests next week.I dont know what got into me..i just feel like keep reading and reading.I would normally take a few weeks to finish a book,just take my own sweet time enjoying it.But it is different this time.I use little more than a day to finish a chinese book not once but almost twice.Read it over and over again..laugh at the same part i laughed,get my heart broken at the same part before and enjoying it more and more everytime.

Its like you dont care at all what will happen tomorrow as long as you can keep reading.I just love how it feels like when i indulge myself in a different world.Feel different feelings...this author is not bad at all,she is a legend in the chinese writing world.I guess reading provides me with some sort of a sanctuary..it is where you can turn to anytime and just forget your problem for a while and follow where the story takes you.It is time when you can let your imagination roams free and think of yourself as who ever you want to be,absolutely wonderful!!

I really think besides green tea ice-cream,teddy bears and french fries...books is one of human beings' greatest idea!!Cheers to all the authors i respect and admire above all..Haha gtg..bookworm is me.

To Be Forgiving

I am a very simple person.I do not have too much of anger and hatred in me.Even when i am extremely pist off by somebody,the anger and frustration would normally disappear within at most 2 days.

But like life,there is always exception.Lately i am just so mad at this particular person.Not that i think about it all the times but on some unfortunate events i'm being painfully reminded.It is what she does that hurts me most painfully.I shall not go into details as it most probably will involve too many people.

But what i have learned is that, we truly cannot expect everyone in the world to be like us.Not everyone is entitled to treating us respectfully and with compassion.And there will always be people who constantly brings out the worst in us..pushing us to a point where we really have to be mean and harsh as opposite to what we strive to become.

There is so much more in life than to become such an angry and pist off person.We always have a choice,just dont let anyone stand in the way of us becoming who we really desire.I know its easier said than done but eventually we really have to be forgiving and let it go.It just take times and some willingness.And today..i think i can do so and hope i always can when required.

Until then..Cheers!!

Something new!

I always have the feeling that i have wasted my time a lot after a long holiday because i ll look back and probably be able to see something more beneficial and constructive to do but didnt do.So as the saying goes,we should not live our life in regrets,i have decided to take up a foreign language.Hahaha why am i offering so many reasons,the truth is i just like the idea of learning another language and at time like this,its really not a bad idea to turn the focus back on yourself through learning.So the language i pick is French.Well not exactly because French is seemingly connected to anything romantic but simply because its one of the most spoken language in European countries and as according to my dad,mastering another language can only do you more good and no harm.

So today was my first class,my class is consist of almost 10 peoples from all walks of life.I was the second youngest and have classmates from age 19 to 30's.Interestingly,when i settled down,and the teacher who is a Jamaican started talking in some funny language,i immediately thought i was in the wrong class.But turns out he was speaking French and only he alone is comprehending as the rest of us looked equally clueless.Guess i really wasnt accustomed to not understanding a single word people utter,but then i think i ll get use to it.So then today we learn some really basic salutation,presentation and etc in French..i wasnt tougue-tied as i thought i would be but it is rather challenging to get the pronounciation right and at the same time remember what it means.There was time when the teacher asked us one by one like we were supposed to answer whats our name,how old are we kind of questions..i just looked at him and went blank like he literally just drain me of what i have just learned.A few moments of silence and he replied.."Maybe later..." which cause the whole class to giggle a little...I was like "damn!!i knew the answers just minutes ago.."and went red a little.The class lasted for two hours,although it was slightly tiring for me as i go there straight after work and dinner,but it was worth it and satisfying.

And as i really should turn in and get some beauty sleep,Aurevoir!! (which means goodbye in French..i just checked in my notes..lol).
