2 years passed by

Dear Kong Kong,

It's been 2 years now. Somehow it still seems like yesterday it all happened. Things have changed for the past 1-year. I made a big move, I am now back home in Miri, working.

How are you there, ah kong? I still wish that I've spoken to you the night after your operation. I should have insisted Siaw Su(youngest uncle) to wake you, so I can still hear your voice, the last time. I still miss you…

Our CNY celebration this year was great. We ate at home this year. We didn’t go out because of last year’s experience in the restaurant. It was horrible.

So, this year Ah M said she'll cook steamboat! It was soo good. The food on the table was plentiful! Despite so much food served, I secretly missed one particular food. Pan suh! Pan suh that’s being cooked by you. My favourite dish, done only by you. Siaw Su says he can cook it the same way as you did!!! I didn’t get the chance to try it because when he cooked it, I was back in Miri already. Siaw Su said he will do it next year for me. I can’t wait.

The entire visitation that we go, we’ll definitely speak of you. We went to visit Lau Kou (your sisters) and Lau Chek (your brother), I’ll picture that you were with us. Lau chek look so much like you, do you know that? When I look at him, I see you. Picturing how it’d be nice to have you here with us, talking and talking.

Pek pek(dad's eldest brother) and us, we'll be going for a holiday. I am sure, you'll be coming with us too, if you're still around. Our first combine Goh's family trip =) I'll tell you more after the trip.

Always missing you.

Your granddaughter.

Miri Life

It’s been a while since I last updated the blog. Not that I don’t want to update…I hardly have a lot of things to rant about =) or to share.

How can one complain so much about staying at home when everything you want is available? Home is indeed the best place ever. Might not want to leave home anymore!

Here’s my daily routine:
I wake up at 0500 then I head to work by 060 or 0610 the latest as I don’t want to be caught up in the so-called traffic jam. The jams here aren’t that bad compare to KL. It is still moving though there’re many cars. I just like to have a smooth drive all the way without stopping too much.

Then I knock off at work at 1600. I usually will go for my walks with Jennifer before heading home at 1730. I recently started playing badminton but not sure how long would that last! As walking in the sun at 1630 sometimes is TOO HOT and I have to use an umbrella! Don’t mind the stare it’s my face/skin that needs protection.

After my walks, I have tuition. I give tuition to primary school kids for Maths, English and Bahasa Malaysia. They’re a lot easier to teach. I have a few secondary kids but mainly Bahasa Malaysia and History. Gosh, it brings back memories on how I used to study history. When I was in high school, history was one of the subject I dislike soooo much! Now, I can’t believe I am teaching it. I’ve taught them in school when I was doing my temp job. It wasn’t that hard after all! After all, I did international relations in uni so I like the subject and it’s related to HISTORY! And basically needs a lot of memorizing and knowing the FACTS correctly. That’s all. Probably due to poor language, that’s why they do not understand what the teacher is teaching and sometimes students would like to know more and that’s where story telling comes in. I love CHINA’S history!

After my tuition, I usually hit the sack by 2130! Yes, 2130 I’d be asleep. My whole routine will start again at 0500 the next day.

Happy Valentine

Hello all, been really quiet for the past 2months. With New Year gone and Chinese New Year just over, I'm back.

Been really lazy to update my blog mainly because my routine is always the same, no thing to really talk about. Daily working hours from 7am to 4pm. Then later tuition from 7 to 8.30pm. It's been like this for the past 1 month plus coming 2 now.

Went to Kuching to celebrate CNY and I had a fantabulous time there. Can't wait for the next CNY hehe I am already missing all my cousins there. It's always about food and food. And also our 2nd year without grandpa. We are still missing him, always.

Some holiday plans...will be going to Singapore in June. Saving up for the mega trip, destination, unknown yet. Hopefully it's somewhere where the time zone will be different.

Bye Bye 2008, Helloo 2009

2009: A new beginning for muah; new place, new life, new work and new love???

The first 3 are settled just the last bit haha need extra hard work or maybe not.

Motto for 2009 : DOD (Do or Die) hahahaha

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Welcoming 2009

2008, lots of changes in my life.

Packed my bags and left Kuala Lumpur.

Now in 2009, I'll be in Miri, maybe for the next 3 years =)

Got a new job in one of the MNC here. It'll be a real challenge because I really have no idea what is awaiting for me.

I pray for God's guidance in me and my daily life. May He always be there for me and my family. I ask for safe undertakings over my family, grandparents, sister, and all my family members.

I thank You for loving me everyday and not letting me down even though sometimes I do feel that You've abandoned me.

May 2009 be fulled with lots of blessings and love.

Hospital and grandma

Popo is currently in the hospital. This will be the 3rd day of her admission. Flew to Sibu on Monday with mum after we recieved news about her. She didn't look so well that's why we flew in.

Her pneumonia is back, this time not sure for how long? Her condition goes up and down. One day she'll be ok, she'll have difficulty in breathing the next. It tore my heart to see her in this kind of state. What's more...whenever she cough, she'll BO and without realising it. This was what she told me, or she doesn't want to trouble anyone that's why she just kept quiet.

This old lady, my grandma who was very good in making my favourite rice dumpling(Chang), rice cake and even sew my PJs and some dresses...is now sitting on the bed, with a oxygen mask over her mouth, and defribillator beeping away...

I prayed, asking God to heal her, so she can come back to us, resume life as before, I am not sure if that will be answered but I am praying really hard for that to be answered.

Popo looks like she is ready to go, especially with all these difficulties she is facing, which is to breathe...she keeps telling everyone that she is happy that she is going to see the Lord.

I still can't let her go =(
