Far in distance, close at heart.

♥ To two of our dears:




Zhiwei, you better learn how to take care of yourself there ah. Be careful hor!
Please protect your body at all times from the chilly winds okay..
Waiting to see your photos of majestic facades of Mother Nature.
Sunrise, sunset, starry skies.. 登上山峰的感觉又是怎样的？
Can't wait for you to return :) Wahahha 30 June 30 June!





Angie, it's not 4 or 5 days but 45 days :'( We'll surely miss you de..
Please make an effort to drink water in Hong Kong, your body will need it.
We only want a bouncy and healthy Angie! Don't want sick and weak Angie.
想家，想家人，想噢哈纳的时候..可以通过互联网来沟通啊。你很坚强的。
记得在'Secret' 里写下你在外国留学的所见所闻所思所想，会来跟我们分享啊！:)


From all of us to both of you: Miss you love you! Take care, will you?

Beautiful people, beautiful Bintan.

Tags: Nostalgia Yasin Bungalows, Swimming, Dinner @ Sun Moon, Bang!


The day finally arrived :) Laughed our way to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
Ahoy! Happily we set out to sea into the vast vast ocean.
Wow, it's been more than a decade since I last boarded a ferry..
Sang some emo songs at the deck, screamed my lungs out on the ferry with Maxie..
Indeed, we're really very small in the eyes of the Universe. Probably just a microscopic dot.
What brought us together? Maybe it's coincidence. Maybe it's fate. You choose :)
Then then all of us played 猫抓老鼠 and 猜拳! Didn't know i can be so fun~

We were brought to Nostalgia Yasin Bungalows. (Now i'm missing it already..)
Got to experience the rustic tranquility with a touch of paradise.
Forget about the mozzies, the water and electricity cut-offs,
I wanna remember only the peaceful pavilion where we played Bang,
the charming scenery at night,
the kampong life experience where we can call out to one another anytime,
the sincere and efficient service of the staff.
I truly witness the kindness of the people over there :)

At the resort, something was brewing-
Zirui's Stuck-In-Toilet Experience!
Wahahahhaha. What a classical example of 聪明反被聪明误 :P Bleah.
He only emerged after the door was detached by his hero! 好难忘啊。

Then was swimming at the pool beside Beach Bistro!
People, thanks thanks for your patience in teaching me how to swim man :)
Made a visit to to the Mini Zoo before heading to Sun Moon Restaurant for dinner!!
Can't believe I wore a swimsuit to dine - _ - Hahaha.

After cooling off at the seaside, came the time i really enjoyed..
Because we got to experience childhood all over again! Yay ;D
-老鹰捉小鸡
-木头人
-Freeze and Melt
-What Is The Time Now Mr. Wolf
-Sandcastles building

-Pepsi Cola 1 2 3

Awwww.. When we were young and carefree.
But still, I'm happy already. And there, our day ended with a Bang!

Thanks thanks Zirui for bringing all the yummy snacks from Genting ah.
Really generous of you man :) Also thanks thanks Maxie for bringing the games wor,
if not we'll have nothing to play le! Haha. The two of you are really our lovely livewires la ;D

Tags: Sports, White Sands Island Beach, YY's 21st Celebration

We played Banana Boat, Big Mable, Kayaking, U Slalom, Flying Fish.
And all for the first time! They were AMAZING.
While waiting, we too tried beach volleyball~ Challenging eh :D
After lunch, we sailed out to sea for snorkelling.
Of course, I counted myself out because I felt really insecure
with my feet not touching the ground..
Never mind, I managed to take photos for them!
Though I wished I was able to waddle in the water with all of you.. Hahha.

White Sands Island Beach - a magnificent masterpiece of Mother Nature!
Crystal blue waters married with pearly white clouds.. It's really beautiful.
Headed homewards to prepare for our photoshoot and YY's 21st celebration!!
I love the dinner that night, even though there were a few hiccups..
Everyone was helping one another to the food first,
instead of piling the dishes onto their plates 1st..!
How kind is that? =)

Something not-so-nice happened that night,
but YY i know you'll get well soon alright!

Then, we went back and secretly plotted a sparkling surprise for our dear YY.
Thanks thanks for bearing with us till the end despite you feeling extreme discomfort.
Really sorry you hurt your hand.. :'( It must be so painful.


16 June 2011:
Tags: Breakfast, Goodbye Beautiful Bintan Hello Sunny Singapore, YY's 21st!

Started the day with a filling breakfast buffet.
Had a little emo session with Angie listening to emo songs~
Thanks thanks for your silent company ah :)
Hope our Angie can sing to us next time! Even if it's just a line? :)
You always say 'You can do it de YC.'
Now i shall say it back, 'You can do it too Angie.'
Remember, you're the ever encouraging Angie!

Thank god, the weather has been wonderful for the 3 days.
I do agree with what Zirui said,
"God is always kind to us." Wow, what words of wisdom la :)
I've always taken what I have in Singapore for granted,
like air-con, water and electricity until it was taken away from me momentarily in Bintan.
We are really lucky indeed! I will learn how to treasure.

I really wanna thank Zhi Wei.
Thanks thanks for being such a meticulous planner who came up with the itinerary,
for being such a selfless photographer who'd help us take photos all the time
to the extent that yours wasn't taken, who'll offer us water to drink 1st even if she's thirsty..
To me, it's really these little kind actions that touches :)

Off we went, with a baggage of beautiful memories.

* * *

At night, was YY's 21st celebration filled with love~
Care & concern has always been the best medicine.
Seems like you had a sick but sweet twenty-first ah hahha.
Nevertheless, it's a success! Friends, food and fun ;D

一首简单的歌

这世界不复杂只要我们简单化
我不懂太复杂的玩法
什么样的礼物能够让你记得住
其实我也不是很清楚
唱一首简单的歌让你我心情快乐
人生就像一条河难免会碰到波折
这一首简单的歌并没有什么独特
好像你那么的平凡却又深刻
我一直在思考 要你了解你的好
却忘了你也会疲倦的
对不起谢谢你我会好好去珍惜
这友情它得来不容易
唱一首简单的歌让你我心情快乐
人生就像一条河难免会碰到波折
这一首简单的歌并没有什么独特
好像你那么的平凡却又深刻
现在将唱到尾声我祝你生日快乐
前方路颇有曲折我们会一起走的
这一首简单的歌其实还蛮特别的
为什么
只因为它是为你唱的
:)

p.s. 第几个一百天，还是很有感觉

For the first time.

To me, it's like a family outing.
We may wish to call it other names, organization, club, group :)
But i like to call it family because it feels close to my heart.
They're all but people with beautiful souls,
who'll contribute silently and go about getting things done and yet,
not claim any credit or monetary returns for it. Selfless indeed.
Some things can still be free in this world :) I believe.


Played a number of games which made us all sweaty and happy.
Monkey & Coconut, Criss Cross, Killer Jump Jump Game and Treasure Hunt!
Especially enjoyed the Chicken Dance just now :P Bwahahaha.


Really thankful for the fact that today ended on a peaceful and joyful note,
no matter what happened earlier on. And whatever happens, it all boils down to my heart.
Thanks thanks for turning up people. Thanks for your time. It meant much to me :)


p.s. Love has it all.

To the fullest.

Finally i get to settle down and blog amidst the bustling of activities..!
Have been waking up at 8am or earlier everyday
even though i have the luxury of time to sleep all the way.
But.. No thanks! Wanna set high standards for myself.
总觉得约束，才会进步。


I particularly love to see my little Secret planner getting filled up all the time ;D
It's an indication to me, that my days are not empty. At least they're spent with a little meaning.
Hope to add in a smiley face everyday in the daily column. So far, there are 11 already yay!
It's all thanks to all of you who contributed to my happiness here and there ah.. Haha.


“凡是人，皆须爱。”-弟子规
As human beings, every single one of us on Earth needs love.
It's up to you to believe :) Hehe.


Like us, they have feelings, family and friends.
Just because they are from a lower socio-economic status
doesn't mean we should lower their status as a human being?
Idealistically, they deserve more dignified lives i guess. Like us.
As far as I know, the reality out there can be more kind.
(Just like our dear YY :) Really thanks for helping man.)


I never knew such a seemingly insignificant act can mean so much to someone.
Really.


p.s. Love alot, love alot.

Just for laughs :P

Though not together, we made it to the end.

And this is all that matters!

All is well.

It's my second time sitting in an ambulance.
I really don't like the feeling.. Really.
Heart, you must be strong. Like you always are.
But thank god she's alright already :) Heal granny heal..
And people, I wanna thank you for your loving kindness.
Sincere thanks from my heart.

A perfect picnic

Surely, it was a successful picnic at the sea @ WCP with partial Ohana!
Next time next time next time with Felicia, Guolian anf Zhuang Wei okay :D


Just look at how obliging Ohanies can be:
Zirui brought mango puddings and two tall cartons of fruit juice.
Zhiwei brought grapes and.. LIU LIAN LIU LIAN LIU LIAN~
Max brought raised tofu, exotic frozen veggies with wasabi and chicky..
YY brought the pancakes and ahballings from our dear Mr Bean
Angie and YC made Smiley Crepes and 爱心沙律 hee!
After all the gorging came PLAY-TIME ;D YAY!


First stop:

It was the Pyramid with the fun slides.
To think I only had the courage to climb after 21 years..
- _ -

Second stop:
An extremely exciting obstacle race between the guys and the girls!!
Wow. It's been nong nong time since we last raced against one another le.
Wahahha. Reminds me of our seconday school days ah :)


Third stop:
After all the adrenaline rush,
We all rested on a really relaxing swing :)
摇啊摇~摇到睡着了。
Even had a captain to cradle us wor heheh.
(But no, I dowan Captain Max please! )


Fourth stop:
Flying Fox!! Waaa~ It was fabulous, my goodness.
You should really try it yourself!


Fifth stop:
WWF @ Balance Beams D:
Ohmy. Ohanies are getting violent already..
*ATTARKS*


Last stop:
Star-gazing by the sea with serene music.. Love it.
What a perfect way to end the picnic isn't it? Hehe.
We were home at around 2am in the morning. Amazing!


To me, playing as if we were little kids certainly beats clubbing :)
Thanks thanks for all the fun that night dears.
Hope you felt it too! Peace.


p.s. Sheer sweetness wahaha

Let's look to the sky.

Apprenhensive me took a leap of faith and participated in this
NUS Appreciating Lives, Initiating Volunteering, Everyday! 10km Run
despite not jogging for like 2-3 years?!! Oh my goodness, what a blonde right?


But here I'm proud to say that, I did it.
Without strolling or stopping at all.
It's really a personal achievement for me!
Whenever there were thoughts of fatigue or negativity like:

"Ohmy still got 5km leh!"
"Wah I feel so tired."
"My legs are giving way!"



I'll immediately eliminate those thoughts and replaced them with positive ones like:
"Oh I'll just get to the tree in front of me!"
"I'll just run to the next shelter!"
"The finishing line is just ahead of me!"


These thoughts, worked wonders for me! Thank god.
Seems like I'm fuelled by short term goals eh?
Ah, I understand myself a little better.


Now it's crystal clear to me that it's not distance that matters, it's my willpower.


Would like to translate this willpower into my life, into the things I do.
Instead of lamenting over the undesired environment or conditions I may encounter,
I hope to overcome it with my willpower, just like how i did it in this marathon,
just like what i see in Max. I take my hat off you man :)


Comrades,
WE ARE GREAT!



p.s.
Just hoping that more Ohanies will join us in all the sun and fun la :)
Thinking of a silly club name called OMEGA -
(Ohana Must Exercise a Great deal Ah!)
Any better ideas on the name dears? =p

♥ 我只要你天天开心

以下是我亲爱的奶奶所许下的79岁生日愿望：

♥ 我希望可以健健康康，还可以中马票！

♥ 我希望裕慈裕能可以年年考第一。

♥ 我希望裕慈裕能改次可以找个好老公嫁出去。

三个愿望当中，就有两个是为我们而许的。

你说她伟大吗？听听那不言而喻的爱。

奶~生日快乐！谢谢你我爱你。

拥抱大自然

Sorry sorry my dear Angie and Zhiwei.
I overlooked the fact that I'll be SCHOOL mates with the 2 of you!! =D
NIE's news has gotten me over the moon that I forgot all about NTU..
So good, next time i can study·stalk·gorge with yall le ;) Muahahhaha.



Last Friday, went to Cityhall with Fel & YY to get Tsuhui's present and for YY's 廖老师!
Wheee. Went to Loving Hut for dinner and we bumped into 宝华姐姐~
Friendly lady isn't she? :D Tom's Palette for some extraordinary ice cream.
The ice cream that goes *pop pop* Hehe.. Leme Leme at MRT!!



Last Saturday, was Tsuhui's 21st birthday celebration :)
Feels great to get together once in a while ah.
And i finally saw Jacob and Jayden in real life! So cute so cute so cute ahgugu.
It was extremely thoughtful of Tsuhui and her family to prepare vegetarian food just for me.
Really appreciated that man :') Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Also thanks thanks Esther Ng for sending me home! Pure kindness.



Last Sunday, we conquered Bukit Timah Hill ;D Cheerios comrades~
Hope more will get under the sun with us! It's healthy and fun to me la.
Mother Nature, she's beautiful. Feels really relaxed in the Her embrace :)
The thought of getting up early to accomplish something,
and left with abundant time to savour the rest of the day bit by bit somehow heartens me.
Wouldn't want to wake up just to realise half of the day is already gone..
What a waste don't you think?



希望你我的周末都能过得很充实！=)



p.s. Guolian take care over there! We'll miss you too.
