Had a flat tyre last week..when I first saw it, I get quite frustrated, thinking "why is this happening to me?"..Then 2 choices popped up in my mind, call for help or do it myself??
I could have just called the insurance company and get a free tyre change, but since I'm not in a hurry, so I decided, try it out!
Changing a car tyre for the first time in my life isn't easy...I even spend quite some time looking for the tools and removing the spare tyre from the trunk..The car was only jacked half way up when I used up almost all my energy, and I start to regret T_T
Finally, I did it in almost 40 minutes...All soaked in sweat but I'm not unhappy..Just a small problem to let me learn one thing extra in my life =)
New year, new resolution. I've always wanted to start off this brand new year with something special, and this day, I could proudly say I did it. A group of selfless and kind-hearted people initiated this event prior to Chinese New Year celebration, which is to distribute ang pao and daily needs to some old folks and poor Orang Asli families. We arrived at a town hall of this very small town, Kuala Kubu Bharu, and were happily welcomed by 100 registered old folks.
We start to distribute ang pao and mandarin oranges as soon as we arrived. Sad to see there are so many helpless people gathered here. Some were handicapped, some were abandoned by children, and some do not have a family. But it is also sad to see some not-so-needy old folks trying to slip their way in and try to make a small fortune out of this. When the committee explained that only the real needy and registered old folks will be given ang pao, they just started scolding people and show their temper. Aren't they ashamed to behave that way when there are many more unlucky people around them?
Then we proceed to a remote Orang Asli village. It is good to see that they recently got electrical and water supply, as well as tarred roads, although the road only allows one vehicle to pass through at one time. It is good enough for them as they only own motorcycles but not cars.The villagers are quite surprised when there are so many cars entering the village, guess its the largest amount of cars they've seen in the village for over a year.
There are only 35 families here. We brought rice, oil, eggs, potatoes, milk powder, instant noodles, biscuits, 3 in 1 coffee, clothes and many more daily needs for each of the family. Uncles and aunties have to be credited here as they went all over Klang Valley to get all the goods with the cheapest possible price, so that we can provide the maximum food for them at a minimum cost. When we unload each item from the lorry, it is happy and at the same time grieved to see the villagers clapping their hands with joy. The daily necessities cost around RM90 for each family, imagine how we always over look this amount of money which can relieve their burden over a long period.
I'm very glad that I have the opportunity to attend this charity event as I have learnt a lot from each person in need and each person who is there to help them. This day will be one of the meaningful days in my life and I will always remember the lesson learnt here.
Well...I'm surprised to find out that the last time I blogged was a year ago...do I have nothing to blog about? or do I just refuse to blog the things happening to me throughout this whole year?
People always say Virgos are perfectionists...for the past 24 years, I never did realize a part of me being perfectionist..I'm not really hygienic, my work and handwriting isn't that tidy and neat, my table is in quite a bit of mess, there's always a pile of laundry in my room, and so on...now that I'm 25 and when I look through the few posts in my blog..yea I found the perfectionist part in me..and it was with me all the time...
I'm very afraid of being judged..I'm afraid to put up details of my life and being judged..all this while I'm leaving under others' shadows..every step I take I look around and make sure there's no one to judge..I've never really did something I want just because I want it..I always think how would people I care about think of this thing I do?or how would people I dislike judge and criticize what I do...this is quite creepy because I even care about the feelings of people I dislike..who are they to affect my life actually?
Sometimes its really tiring to cater for everyone's need..but I do feel the satisfaction when people I love I care about feels happy or recognize my actions..should I continue with this creepy character which is supposed to fit the "criteria of my horoscope? or should I change and just mind my own business?
Another year goes by, it's mum's birthday again..as I get older, she gets older too..
When I was young and rebellious, I did lots of things that upset her and worries her..Now at this age I realized how much wrinkles I had put on her forehead..I get more worried nowadays when she feels not well..I can't bear the thought that she'll leave me someday cos I have yet to spend enough good moments with her..
Now I'm doing my best, enjoying every moment when she's around in order not to regret later..
Mummy I love you...stay healthy and happy always ^^
At some point of life, I really find myself in the positions illustrated above...and maybe to put myself on the top i sacrificed the feelings of my loved ones.. its amazingly true..we need not to be on the top to feel good..the best thing in life is just basically getting a balance of everything..I'm now grateful for what I have and who I am...
I'd always love Justin..his songs are just so wonderful..Year 2008, new year's countdown he came to 1U..I'm always afraid of the crowd but for him I went..lucky the crowd wasn't too bad and I manage to enjoy his songs far far away...2 years later he came to Genting..I know I can't miss it...It was a superb experience for me and I'll treasure those moments forever~
Reached Genting around 3pm..wander around the casino for some time before we have this nice dinner at 好友记..at first I chose this restaurant because I have a discount voucher..in the end turn out to be a nice meal :)
clockwise from top: claypot chicken rice; fried ramen with seafood; fried dumplings
After dinner, off we go to arena of stars!!!excited excited excited~
Going to the concert with a "silent" partner has disadvantage and also advantage... disadvantage is it feels weird to have someone sitting beside you and eating popcorn while I'm "high-ing" alone...(1st time saw people buy popcorn to concert also =.=")..but got advantage also..I can concentrate on screaming shouting waving while he captures all the lovely moments :p
Here he comes!!!with the 1st outfit and I personally think this is the best outfit of the day...gorgeous~
2nd outfit..makes him look kinda cheeky and the songs he sang suits the outfit as well...
3rd outfit...back to singing "lum" song..where he sang 三十日until cry already...make me wanna cry with him T_T
Didn't know how to exactly define the joy and excitement I had..the experience really really worth much more than the ticket price..JUSTIN!!!! please please come again soon ^^
