Kuching-->Newcastle

Well, this post was saved in draft for few days already. The photo uploader is still not working until today so it's fine, I would just post the rest another day. Maybe I wont. They ll be all uploaded in Facebook though.

So, I went back to Kuching on the 10th of August, arriving on the 11th. Was supposed to go back after graduation but since I check my air ticket last minute, the ticket available was expensive and friends kept on persuading me to stay longer so ..yeah.

I was so emo upon leaving Newcastle. Okay, who don't ? Especially when you stayed for a year and then you get to experience the four different season, yes I was lucky I had autumn, winter, spring and then summer. So, the day before I left, Ling brought me to the town and went shopping. When I walked in those shops, I was so sad, thinking that I won't be able to visit the stores in Eldon Square and buy or wear those clothes anymore. I didn't sleep throughout the night before my flight , I was last minute packing like crazy, I spent hours packing and when my friends went in the room, finding me still packing pathetically on the floor, they start rolling my clothes, put em in my luggage and *tub* it's all done in less than 15 minutes. miracle, isn't it? How guys can finish a task girl needs hours in that short time...girls...

So, emo emo emo saying goodbyes and all to my friends, I went on my journey alone.

Photos that I couldnt upload are those yumcha, outing photos ..nevermind..

We spent our mooncake festival at Cherry's house playing lantern.. and we brought lele and ah xun along.

Me, trying to hang those lanterns on the tree.Oh, I miss my blonde hair. I dyed it dark brown because otherwise I cant do my I.C. Yeah =_= my mum found out that I lost my I.C after checking through my bag and stuff as she usually does..questioning me all the time why I keep on bringing my passport out ..because that is the only thing can prove my identity=_=

Us :)

Then , as usual lah ~ when we were small, we ll play with candles after the lanterns. But, only Desmond and Evon are playing outside the house because Ah Le and Ah Xun are not supposed to learn, yet.

It's a heart-shaped !

The sweet couple..

Okay, now someone tells me why this photo becomes like this :/

Man, looking at this photo makes me hungry ! This is the famous AFC (Angie Fried Chicken) , my mum's na-shou-cai.

We were having potluck at Laura's house. Evon with the fruit salad and Auntie unwrapping the Kueh Tiaw as Bingbing just looking on.. hmmm lazy girl ! haha

Everyone - Ah boy, Cherry, Kevin Liew, Auntie Uncle, Ah beng, Desmond, Evon , Bing Bing .

Uncle and Auntie - very happy. But, of course each time we go to their house, I can tell they miss Nona a lot. Especially, when we talk about going overseas stuff, then or whatsapping and bbm-ing nona. Hmm

Family dinner.

Salted egg crabs. Not nice, unlike the one by Ling Loong at Topspot Seafood but these crabs had so much roes in em ! my goodness. I ate until gelik. Dinner was at Country Court, 3rd mile.

Da Q and Ah xun. I just find this photo very..heartwarming.

Then, we went to watch Mr. Bean ! Johnny English reborn but we had to wait more than an hour in the Spring before the movie starts.

This is Desmond and Ebon waiting outside MBO.

Bingbing was so blur that she tells me the next day, she was wondering why we ngeh ngeh wanted to watch mr bean on that night, forgetting that it is the last night we can watch movie together because I was leaving. Hmmph how bosim. She didn't go with us.

Well, after sorting out financially that I cannot do my master yet, and I don't want to do my CLP in KL, I was thinking of a way to return to Newcastle. So eventually, I made up my mind and decided to return to Newcastle and apply for PSW afterwards.

Me, my backpack and Timaomao, who went straight after work cos my flight was at 8 pm.

I dont know why but each time before I leave, mum would want to have dinner together at KFC. It has been a norm or something =_= I was laughing and wondering..this bunch of people concerns more about the food over me. Hmmmph

Just before I went in the departure gate. Aizat helped to take this photo , it is so funny how he had to wait for me cos I hugged each of them in this photo one by one so you can imagine how long it took lol. Ya, I flew back together with Aizat this round, at least I'm not flying alone.Purposely booked the same flight as his.

Now, I'm living in Gateshead and following photos are the views I get to see everyday. It is across the bridge of Newcastle and we can have the city view, so nice especially at night.

Pardon the blurrish photo of this one. And hmm I'm still very lazy to learn more about photography and also how to fully utilize my dslr.

Til then, current status is graduated, unemployed, waiting for the time to apply psw, finding a stable job, keep on falling sick. Yes, sick. Was having fever. And now. Terrible cough.

Hope the photo uploader is working fine soon and that I will have the mood to update this blog more often. It has been sooooooooo dead. Well, take care and tata!

when things are kept in your heart that it overflows

when you just feel like sleeping

when you are good but you keep on letting yourself down

when you are not being yourself

Ohana

What family means for you? What family means to me, I was born in a very wonderful family, when I was 4 years old, my parents are blessed with another baby girl, aka my sis, Evon. So yes, we have 4 years gap in age difference. Often enough, we are mistaken as twins or at least around the same age or worst case scenario people actually believe it when I tried to say I am the younger one. And from being freaked out, she is now having =____= lame and annoyed expression each time I tried doing that.

If you ask me this question 5 years ago, the answer would be different back then and now.

Our family was a middle-income family. My dad worked in the government sector until I was in my kindy time. Soon enough, as I turned 8, my dad went to Miri to explore , rather altogether a different field of career. We would talked and talked to dad via phone every night. I remember, mum would dial dad's number and she would get my sis and I sitting down next to her near the telephone waiting excitedly for my dad to answer our call.

Then, mum would turn the loudspeaker mode on so that three of us could chat with him at the same time. That was in year 1996. As I was studying in Standard 3 in St Mary, one day my dad finally decide to bring us for a trip in Bintulu-Miri. I remember it was during sunset time that he brought mum, sis and I to Tanjung Batu beach in Bintulu one evening. My mum totally, fell in love with the view and the atmosphere, the relaxing living style in Bintulu. Believe it or not, my mum probably went to Spring Mall in Kuching for less than 20 times, well maybe 30 cos I worked parttime in Charles and Keith before. She never like crowded place. Unless she is spending her leisure time with all those uncles aunties =__= The whole point our dad brought us along for the trip is because he had another job opportunity in Bintulu's MLNG.

So eventually we moved to Bintulu and stay at this place called Pine Court Apartment, my Da Q Meh, QQ, Q Meh, cousins actually tagged along with the moving-house- trip and we had photos of those days at my Qmeh's house I guess. There, started my most beautiful, memorable 7 yrs , happiest chapter of my life.

Why would I say so? Am I not happy now? Well, of course . It is half right, I am still happy, but Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind. and the problem I am having now is that I forget and I am not applying the principle "expect nothing, appreciate everything", put it short, I dont know how to appreciate. I expect too much. Focus too much on the closed windows, taking all those opened ones for granted.

Writing this post because, these days I am very emotional, friends keep on asking me not to be one, I wonder why, ..I'd be perceived as attention seeker, perhaps everyone needs certain level of attention, care. Whatever it is, what I am trying to say is. Family. What is your definition of family?

If it was not for the past we have been going through, we are not what we are today.

Maybe my sis and I would be like any other spoiled children. We still are, lil daughter in my mum's eyes.

I am writing this because I want all of you to know. How great it feels to be in a family.

I remember scolding one of my bestfriend, to the extend I cried so badly. She was either quarreling with her brother or complaining about her mum's bad mood. I scolded her. We are such close friends. Perhaps thats the very reason I got so angry. I said to her, " wo bu yao ni fa sheng he wo men yi yang de she qing, wo bu yao ni guo wo men guo de she qing cai fa xian, you yi ge mei man de jia you duo hao . wo bu yao ni hou hui "

We either hide it, "fu yan", change topics, or we choose to reveal, normally I'd be the one who tend to share. My sis is not. the type.

We hardly share our personal problems unless we come to a very devastated point I guess. There was a night I feel my blanket is shaky. THe blanket that I shared with her. It is her crying. I was so helpless, I just tried to keep silent, cried, silently. But I know. She knows. Both of us cried.

We have been running from reality. In fact, we are not having 'life' . We no longer watch tv as a family as before, we dont listen to songs via entertainment channels, everything is different and we just dont like to stay at home when mum is not around. We would "run away".

This is my sis. People tend to say that we look alike. People who are close to us would say we dont : ) cos they are able to tell, differentiate, and most of all, we have different personalities.

Erm, I miss my family. Sometimes I am thinking. Emo lai gan ma? Especially if emo due to smt that is not as important as my family.

Evelyn, wake up. This is your priority. Faith, your and Evon's faith. You need to do something alongside your prayers . Faith.

did u ever know that i had mine on you?

darling so share with me

your love if you have enough

your tears if ur holding back

or pain if thats what it is

oh how can i let u know

im more than the dress

and the voice

just reach me out then

u ll know that u are not dreaming

darling so there u are

with that look on ur face

as if ur never hurt

as if ur never down

shall i be the one for u

who pinches u softly but sure

before I was off to meet Vani to go to Farah's house for bbq with the rest yesterday. and at night , had hotpot at Jasmine's.

On a happier note, I am done with my 3 days intensive Swinburnian life ! hoho. I was almost dead, well I was dead, very dead. Was helping my sis with her English assignment and I can conclude by saying IT IS HARDER THAN THE LAW I VE BEEN READING . omgee now whenever Ebon asks me about the assignment my nerves ll freak out my shoulder will become stiff. =______=

Nona is having her Consti paper .soon in 15 minutes. Her last paper , next monday then SHE MERDEKA also liao!

Aaron, Aizat them going to Sunderland later in the afternoon. I was hanging out at Aaron's room with him and Vani. Until 4 am and when the skies are getting bright, hmm thats when we start to feel guilty and think it is the time to go to bed, I ve been telling myself I must sleep 3 days 3 nights, cos I ve been feeling that Im sleep deprived for ages. but but but. there are always ACTIVITIES. humph

but :) . this saturday Lihjing and I are going to be "princesses" again. hoho will write about it and post some photos. Erm. I miss updating this blog like before. I miss the carefree life.

I shouldnt think too much.

Oh ya. I dyed my hair Marshmallow Brown. Marshmallow : ) but of course la, as usual, my dark black hair so cant really go in the KALER=______= and the fact that I ve dyed it black to cover my coloured hair before I come to UK. U shall never ever dye ur hair black if you want to colour ur hair in nearest future. but ler. k lah. Hiao. and my hair getting longer also . good news. hoho

actually im not afraid of caring too much for now, im afraid for the day I'd care no more. when memories are no longer significant to me, i no longer refresh them in my mind, i no longer listen the songs that mean so much now, im afraid. of forgetting. and time.

Ok now, let's be honest with my feeling. I feel sad, to be exact, extremely sad. I want this to end. I want to move on. But at the same time, I don't want to let go of the memories. Those are too beautiful, you wont know.

Another one month, there's only one month left, Evelyn. You're so gonna regret this in future. Get up, wake up, have a nice shower, dress up, go out, show up! Listen to more beautiful melodies, implant them in your heart, go out there, reaching for the sunshine you've been falling for.

Not every sweetdream shall have sweet ending, perhaps the fact that they never last is the very fact that makes them sweet too, cos' dreams remain still as, dreams.

til then, smile!

The most difficult feeling when you wake up in the morning, memories lingering in your head,emptiness felt in your chest, past holding you back, and you lost your reasons to smile again.you know this isnt right, you gotta move on, but you dont know what to do

what is my feeling right now? terrible. give me a terrible term, that would best describe it. i feel horrible. first i screwed my exam. this round, i guess it is even worse than that of segi final year. i am not kidding. i remember my lecturer asked me, is it because you are in a relationship that you start coming to class late sometimes skipping class and that your performance dropped? well this time round is even worse i dont dare to think about it this is united kingdom this is uk it is not like you fail you pay rm700 and you can resit whilst proceeding to the next level

i want and i must proceed to clp i am going to live with carissa in kl and enrol in brickfields exam on next year june it is rm550 a month for accommodation plus bills and internet and best of all i think i am gonna live a proper life and i can go to the church with her too

i feel horrible terrible why am i so weak why cant i focus on myself why i have to be that kind of stupid girl that falls for guy and then

please wake up i remember asking laura to slap me the next time she senses im falling in love that was so long ago of course she never did even if she did i guess those who are in love would never listen but perhaps what someone told me before is right two steps forward one step backwards i am the kind 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 forward guess it is time for a change now i will still be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13... forward , but for myself my future my family and blablabla

i need to sleep and disappear for 3 days a week or as long as i can to be myself back

I miss you, I really do.

YO !

I am back :)
