WATER DRAGON IN JONKER STREET, MELAKA

As you can see, my life is not complete with food, growing up in Penang I am spoilt for choice and love food. This year is the year of the dragon, The Water Dragon, One whole cycle which is every 60 years.
I had fun during Chinese New Year, these are the photos from Chinese New Year earlier this year, coming together with family is full of odd and twisted suprises and some expected criticism but I love my family =D

Back to December

Souvenir for all of us in 5K

 

We had a wonderful schooling life. It had its ups and downs but we were united and had a lot of fun. With all the great memories we had and the competitions, it is definitely something that we will hold on to till the end of our lives. The friendships made may grow distant but we will always remember the fun we've had. I still miss my schooling life and it was hard adjusting to not doing homework or asking my friends what homework we have, and I miss the random jokes and questions and complaining about homework or being sleepy =D Some of us don't really talk to each other anymore, nothing more than the usual hi and bye, I miss being able to talk to my friends knowing that they are just a walk away. But all in all, I love my schooling life and the wonderful memories I had during that chapter of my life. =)

Just before going back

Before the mass for PAG.

It was my third PAG camp and it was amazing. This camp was in Sungai Petani, Kedah. I got to meet new people and learn about their gifts (talents) and share mine with them. Albeit, having body aches from jumping and dancing, it was worth it for all of us! We enjoyed ourselves and I feel that it was a success and many of them are touched. I've realised that despite all the difficulties, God always prevails and helps us and everything is according to His will, He wanted the camp to go on, despite the short notice and lack of time to prepare and all the constant hurdles and obstacles, we did it! We got an amazing camp and wonderful talents.

106#Alphabets, I learned something new =D

Did you know that the word "alphabet" came from the words alpha(α) and beta(β). Lol. Maybe I am the only one who is excited about this fact, well, I have known this for a long time, just wanted to share it. Nvm.

Just wanted to say that life in unexpected and obviously very tragic. Less than a month ago, we saw Japan suffering from one natural disaster to another. I feel for them and hope the survivors will be able to look at life positively and always pray and have faith for a better tomorrow.

Pray for Japan, Myanmar, and for everyone suffering in this world, do not forget your own self.

Always live life happily and do not be upset for too long. At the end of the day, always remember the good in this world and all those in it.

105# Making the possible a possibility.

Can you imagine if life was like a black and white TV screen. All we would see is a shade of black and everything would just seem like a sketch. What would be the colour of a rainbow? The green grass and the blue sky?

Everyday, whether it begins great or terribly, at the end of the week, you would realize that, "Hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Then, we'd prepare ahead for a rough week, and as though we were being played with, it will be bumpy, but unexpectedly good in  a way... Honestly "speaking", I don't even know whether what I am typing here is connected to one another.. When I think about it, It just comes and I just type it out, spontaneous blogging, lol.

Anyway, Form 5 life? Busy as Form 4 but more hectic. Its a challenge. But hey! God never gives us a problem that we can't solve. He gives us a problem to strengthen us and make us better people. Although we never realize it, whether we're lonely or surrounded by others, there is someone watching. lol. It might sound so, "Whatever." to some, but thats how I see it. Haha, anyway, I am just blurting out anything that I feel so..  =)

P/S : Be yourself, don't try to be someone you are not.


Until then,

104# “I just did something very stupid.”

Lol, Just so you know, I wrote this sometime during July
(As you can see)>>
I just thought that I had to post it. LOL . Please bear with me =D

Everyone has definitely felt like a complete imbecile by doing something very dumb, rash, or even doing absolutely nothing. Honestly, I feel and felt like I was being compressed and was lifting the sky on my shoulders. But, no one can change the past now can we. We  just have to live with whatever regrets we have, look at the bright side, concentrated on the good things and keep moving forward. My inspiration ‘Meet the Robinsons’, Thank you Disney! Well, now I feel so much better writing all this down and evaluating my problem. Well, it’s quite weird to “learn from your mistakes when you type it out and read about it. Well, by now you’d be thinking either very softly or very loudly, “What the heck is she crapping?”. Well, =D I warned you that I not a wonderfulgreatprofesionalgoodblogger .

-MichelleTan-

I am guessing I was quite upset about something which I can’t recall. HAHA. As I looked into my drafts, this just seemed “odd” to me. And I wrote it. Well, before I bore you further with my BoringNess. Until “whenever” . =D

103# Time flys when its that time of year...

Holidays! Yea... As though you didn't know, its now the 4th day of the year-end holidays for us.. Mostly students under the age of 20 =)

By the way, to all SPM candidates, GOOD LUCK IN YOUR EXAMS! Read the questions properly! Selamat Maju Jaya!

Anyway, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 just released on Thursday, 18/11/2010. Yes, thursday! I thought it was gonna be released on the 19th of November *points at the poster and stares at 11.19* . If you don't know anything about the Harry Potter series, It's okay... Just a tip, watch the movies first before you read the books, otherwise you might be slightly disappointed. However, so far, it is said that the latest movie HP&DH:P1 followed the book, mostly.

Now, I am out of ideas... LOL

Till I update again.

102# If you’re wondering where post (s) 91-99 are.. they’re in drafts. =)

I’ve realized I am more creative when I am sad or around sadness. It’s such a pity to feel down all the time. Hence, explains how much of a “Blogging” person I am. For me, ideas can flow anytime. But to put something in words is much more. I like to imagine things. In my own way. If someone else asks me to imagine what they are imagining, well, its in their head, not mine =). But if I understand what they are picturing then that’s a whole different story altogether. I can lose focus very easily. Well, I just into my own day-dream in less than 2 minutes ago. I don’t have anything specific to talk about. Otherwise, I’d had a short post. When there is a topic, (specifically for writing a blog post), I feel more restricted, and I start crapping. If I go with the flow, I end up like now =D. SO, until then.

101# Yesterday was... My 16th Brithday =D

So, To all who wished me , THANKS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

100# My 100th post after well... 2 years!

I hadn't given much thought to what I wanted to do in the future until my friend asked we what I wanted to be when I grew up, or in other words, what is your "ambition"? For me, I thought I had everything planned out, but then again well I tried imagining my future again and again, I never really managed to get a clear view or whether I will be able to support myself. Never thought of it.
The few careers I aspired to. DOCTOR! (As every 7 year old would even though they know not what a doctor does) I WANNA BE A BILLIONAIRE! (So freakin' bad =P) COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEER! (I was "so-called" into computers) FAMOUS!(I thought about it... I don't want others to know more about my life than me) SINGER! (fulfilled... in my head)
Now, I want to be A DIFFERENCE. Its hard to explain. Such a lame idea but its my lame idea =).

Lets just see how all the pieces mesh together =)
