Life's a miracle

I've been slacking a lot lately. I didn't even blog about my birthday ! Haha ! And I should have blog about a restaurant, that too I left it aside. So yeah, I've been quite busy and lazy at the same time. Pardon me please. 

But readers, this is what makes me want to blog so much that I'm currently ignoring my fatigue soul that is currently urging me to just go to bed ..

My sister has just delivered her baby this morning !!

YESSS. If you remember a blog post about my sister getting married, this is the sequel to it. We've waited for his arrival so long and he finally picked today to come out of his mom's womb !

12 August 2012

Thank god that the labour did not took long like my elder sister's did when she was delivering Nicholas. The whole process seemed okay, not much pain to be endured. And she went through it bravely. So proud of her !

And the baby has got big eyes like my sister's ! Just so adorable.

It's such a miracle that just yesterday, he was still inside my sister's womb kicking, and today .. he's out. A tiny little being, not even 24 hours old. With a small fluttering heart beating inside him. How can life not be a miracle ? It must have felt like a magical journey. And I envy her. Not only my sister, but those who are brave enough to bear our next generation, enduring the pain. Well, exceptions; teen, immature pregnancy.

These little lives, they need to arrive in a secured family. A promising childhood and growing environment. Definitely not some irresponsible teenagers getting knock up. 

I highly doubt that I'll have the chance to go through this magical journey my sisters had went through. But today, I'm grateful that everything went smoothly. 

Boi boi ! You're such a gift to us ! :)

Fene, so proud of you ! =) You ought to know that you're awesome.

Becoming an aunt again,

Mich

my scarlet letter #2

Greetings, earthlings !

#The kiss that missed

*skip this part if you don't watch Glee*

Apparently, I've just finished watching Glee Season 2 ! Yea, I know I'm slow, outdated, blah blah AND blah. But guys, I've got STPM to study all day and night for ! Lol, technically. ;) So yeah, the series was cool with those bunch of hotties covering hit songs and all. But, to me, Finn was a complete jerk to Rachel Berry. But in the end, she still wants him back, what the fish ? He has been hurting her and all, but well, when love is in the equation, nothing makes sense right ?

***

Right, enough of the gleebabble. 2012 is just four sleeps away ! Watching the last episode of Glee Season 2 makes me wanna write a 2012 version of my scarlet letter ! Lol, ignore the title. 

I can't say that this year is not an eventful year, many things happened .. but .. not that eventful. 

Grandma didn't make it and she left us .. that's the first thing that hits my family and I at the end of this year's January. It was somehow expected .. and well, she must be in much better place right now. And Chinese New Year this year wasn't celebrated cause we were mourning. Despite she might not have been the best grandmother, but sometimes .. her absence is so deadly that I really miss her. 

And then it was school activities. The reason I enter Form Six was to catch up what I've missed during my secondary school. And I did it, be active in extracurricular activities ! I held literally several positions and worked through some paper works. It was great and I had fun. Don't get me wrong, I don't crave for power. Lol. But the funny fact is, I never held any positions throughout my secondary life. I don't even give a damn about any activities that's beside class hours. But I had my go during Form Six. 

Form six is all about studies some activities every now and then and exams and test. Not to mention crazy moments with friends.

And then .. I had my first graduation ceremony.

#epic candid shot !

Speaking of graduation, yeah .. my friend and I had to spend enormous amount of time to come out with a graduation video, wtf. But thank god, people, well students, end up liking it. 

#Duck clan +1 -1

I just realized we don't have a proper photo of the 5 of us together ._. Good time together with them :) 

I can't say we've been through a lot, but things always worked out for us and hopefully, it still will and always will ! xoxo

Above all, I've FINISHED MY STPM, wtf ! High school has never been this satisfying. Lol. At least I've crossed some stuff out on my Mich list :D

And next year seems more than promising. Well, one is not suppose to get her hopes high. But really, there's a lot to expect next year. I won't reveal what it is but you'll have to keep stalking me to know more ! It'll hopefully be an eventful year what with STPM results, university intake(given that i got accepted, keep me in your prayers) and YESSSSS ! A SUPER DUPER BIG SURPRISE ! 

I'm still in the job hunting phrase. Hell, looking for a job when you're car-less is super not easy ! Anyone kind enough to donate me their unwanted car ? Lol. 

I don't know if this is my last post. But it probably is for this year. I'll come up with my new year resolution next year ! Hahaha.

Thanks for staying with me.

XOXO,

Mich.

p/s : how was your 2011 ? Coming out with a summary and new year resolution ? Post your link to me :D

of christmas and monthsary

Merry Christmas, earthlings !

#Meet Fattie the snowman :D and Avalanche the penguin !

Ho ho ho ! Merry Christmas, peeps ! This years' Christmas ain't as lively as last years' but guess what ! The guy came to my house to deliver my Christmas present ! Lol lol lol ! This snowman is cute and .. yeah, funny ! :D 

We were choosing a present for our friend and a cruel fact dawned upon him that he hasn't got me any gifts ever since our relationship started and thus, the snowman. OTL I thought it was a penguin :3 Tell you what, the noob is super good at self-reflect ! One second, he was criticizing someone else, the next .. he realized real FAST that he too has the same problem ! LOL (don't worry if you don't get it ! You're just dumb. It's a private joke.) I'll get him a post Christmas present. Yeah .. what a fail girlfriend right, didn't prepare anything as a Christmas gift ! (It's not a tradition for me :3)

As I told the guy I'm blogging about him, I suppose he expects a WHOLE blog post dedicated to just him ! :P 

#It's our two monthsary.

It's two month already since we are officially together. Two month is not really that long .. so I'm looking forward to a bigger milestone ! Heh. =)

How was your Christmas Eve and Christmas celebration ?

Love,

Mich

Eleven(x6) and Less Than 3

Howdy earthlings !

It's 11.11.11 ! Yesterday was "someone's" birthday. My friends and I planned a surprise birthday attack for him. :D The original plan was a different one ! But the NUBB went and ruined my plan ! So, using the idea his sister gave, we planned out another one ! Haha, i guess we managed to surprise him. =) He's so cute. Heh.

I'm such a failure to the point that I seriously can't figure out what he might like as a birthday gift. I wanted the dooodolls keychain as a gift. But unfortunately, they phased out. So, I made him a scrapbook - collection of his pro-flirting skills and his epic candid shots. And I let slipped that i was making a scrapbook. He thought it was for some other guy. HAHAHA ! (Well, I have to admit I misled him into thinking so :D)

#the cover :D

And when I gave it to him in his class, he was like.. "OMG .. scrapbook guy ? Me ?" "Yeah laa, you la, you NOOB ! Who else can it be !" "Lame la you.. " Sigh .. :'( he said I'm lame.. tsk tsk tsk.. ! (my memory is DAMN GOOD !) The scrapbook comes along with a CD i burnt containing some .. uhm songs that I find .. meaningful for.. us ? I did a CD cover TOO .. but .. it's best i dont show it here. I find it very scary and well .. SCARY. Actually, when i think back .. I'm lame ain't I ? ._.

Well, it's 11.11.11 ! six elevens and everyone is fussing  excited about it. Uhm, guess, it's REALLY rare. So, make a wish tonight at 11.11 p.m in case you missed out this morning's. Oh yeahh .. uhm, regarding some readers asking me a question previously .. well, I've got the answer now ?

#SoYeah 

Right, I know I can't do anything nowadays when it comes to me and him without causing any troubles. I didn't mean any harm and I'm sorry. But HELL ! I will try not to be upset about it ! ._.

Heh. 

Anyways, stuff like this aside, STPM is just like a week away and MUET too. So, please understand my upcoming long hiatus. :D And I've really have to say thank you to my loyal stalkers readers that come reading my blog every now and then even my contents are getting more and more boring.(It's never interesting) 

I promise I'd come back with more interesting stuff to blog about, but first, i need a more decent camera than just my "stupid" phone's camera. *looking around for volunteers*

Right. So, wish me good luck for my exam okay ! =)

Good luck to all exam candidates too ! :D Especially my favorite blogger ShuWen ! 

Love,

Mich

P/s : I've got a boyfriend now and he's super awesome :D

the best things in life

"The best things in life are free." Do you agree ? 

 This is the title for my MUET essay for trials.

When I saw this, I made up my mind agreeing with the statement without giving it a thought. Maybe I really wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Maybe I'm short-sighted that I got trapped by the word free. I jumped to a conclusion that when they mentioned free, it actually means things that we do not have to pay money for. I got the lowest mark in my history of essay writing. After reading my friend's essay on the very same topic, I've finally got the idea of what do they really mean by best things in life and free.

More often than never, confidence overwhelmed us and we tend to fail in thinking out of the box. "Best things in life" is a very general statement. It varies according to different people. Why ? Because every one of us has different perspective and experience in life despite how very same we might be. For instance, I might think reading is the best stress-releasing activity. But others might suggest some other activities. You might think the best thing in life is one's achievement, but I'd think the best thing in life is love. However, I have come to a point that I have to say, no matter what your definition for best things in life are, it is not free and never will be.

Maybe I should start with the most common thing that people said its free which is love. Love is free, they might say. But if you think deeply, no, it's not. Be it the love from your family, friend or your soul mate. Yes, love can be given unconditionally, but the price we paid, did you realize, is time ? Even family you need time not to mention friends and soul mate.

One will be very wrong if one is to think that the love from a mother is totally free. It's definitely not free. The risk she took and the perfect figure she gave up in order to conceive a small life that she will later on have to put infinite time and care raising that little life up is nothing some mere dollar bills can measure. That's the best example from family love.

And friends, how much time spent creating memories and gaining trust in order to build up a strong and loving friendship ? I'm hundred percent positive that you don't love a friend that you've made an hour ago. All these need plenty efforts and time.

Your soul mate too, you spend time together from small conversations to get to know each other to complications with heartbreaks and tears involved in the whole process until you can actually hold him/her in your arms. What has been involved ? Time. And for most guys, of course, the ultimate courtship.

In simple English, best thing in life is not free, anything at all. You always have to either give up something or go through something in order to gain something else. Because, life as we know it needs exchanges. Before this, I've always think that best things in life are free. We do not have to pay for love, we do not have to pay for life. If only money wise, yes .. There are many things that we don't have to pay money to get it. But efforts put in, time sacrificed ? Those are things more worthwhile than some dollar bills.

Why did I change my mind ? Someone convinced me with the most simple act.

I shared this on facebook, and said that I supposed this is free. He came and told me no. It's not, nothing is, because it requires courage. Unconvinced, I challenged, how much you paid ? And he answered this :

It's some simple teasing but it  triggers me into thinking .. well, true enough, nothing IS free. Holding  someone's hand that you love needs courage and obviously love. Then again, without time and effort, love and courage don't just fall out of the sky into your lap, do they ?

It must be some trend tumblr has indeed developed because you can see people sharing photos, pictures with quotes everywhere.

If I have to pick my favorite out, it'd be the one about love is friendship set on fire and the one about one of the best things in the world along with #1, #5, #7 and #8 ! 

And he ended his essay with something like this : In order to get the best things in life, we have to give up ignorance. It's not exactly the same but hopefully the meaning is still there. 

Life's short, don't wait until it's too late.

These hands, once held are not meant to be let go of  ♥

Lots of love,

Mich.

P/s : I wonder if you felt what I felt. 

i want to embrace this world as tight as possible.

In case you don't know, well, i just found out that I'm a sensitive girl. I don't know, but i'm a bit touchy recently.

This world is weird. People are busy empowering women in one place in order to stop human-trafficking and women abusing, some where else, young teenage girls are selling their bodies just to earn a few hundred bucks more of pocket money. Yes, just a few hundred bucks more. I mean, there are so many other kind of part time jobs, why betray yourselves ? Don't you think it's really stupid ? Not only are you humiliating yourselves but also encouraging sex transactions putting the whole world's effort in vain.

And like it's a trend. Youngsters are committing suicide, jumping off buildings. I wonder, if you have the guts to take that leap, why not face the problem and move on with your life. Committing suicide is an unforgivable sin. You're given a precious life, a chance to live that so many people crave after but yet, you gave up so easily. Summing your action into one simple word, coward. What else if not a coward ? What can be your worst fear when you're not afraid of death itself ? In case you're saying I will never understand why they do what they did because I've never been in their shoes, of course i've never been in their shoes, aren't i here typing this post out ? I'm not stupid enough to end my life so easily.

Depress. What's the big deal ? Everyone experienced depression before, even saints do(obviously saints don't commit suicide, else, why would they be saints ? Now, don't so no life go and find saints that killed themselves just to prove me wrong !). And speaking of no life-ness. Nowadays, you can hardly share your thoughts without causing a major uproar(I'm not hinting any recent arguments, just my personal experience with my friends). Sometimes, it's fun. Sometimes, it's annoying. You see, i was just merely sharing thoughts and people have to come and start opposing what i've posted. Hullo, it's my personal point of view. (In this case, im really just expressing my thoughts, my friends are still welcome to spam my status or tweets or whatsoever :p)

Like i said, i'm a very sensitive girl. Any minor or major thing that happens is enough to take my emotional health down the slope. But i deal with it alright. And when certain extreme thing happens, for instance, the suicide case at SMK Yu Hua made me feel a bit depress. And again, it throws at me the fact that how very fragile our life can be. Even if I'm not related to the deceased, maybe it's the fact that it happens so near me.

And so, I want to explain one very simple thing. I'm sad about what's happening in this very modern world. And i realize how time flies by and we're running out of time one way or the other. So occasionally, even it may seem fake to you, but i still want to express my feelings, my gratitudes and my thoughts to people that i care. I'm not good in that face-to-face, so when facebook gives me the chance, i want to let them know that, having them in my life is so important and I love them all ! I can't do this, i mean i can't say it out, i'll blush and i'll get awkward then i'll get pissed. But.. I'm definitely not flirting. Girls are not like guys, at least I'm not. I don't flirt with guys, only those that i'm 100% sure they'll not misunderstand(translate: those who don't see me as a female..LOL). I just don't flirt. Because, you never know when you're flirting someone, you're actually hurting them intentionally or not. I've had that feeling once. It was bad, devastating(exaggerating) and i don't want to be the one to cause that kind of pain even im the pain in the ass sometimes.

I want to give this world a tight embrace. Saying I love you to my love ones is simply not enough. Because the warmth i want to share through this simple thing can only reach a very limited amount of people as most of them don't take me seriously. I want all my readers to know, no matter what happens, in the end, love wins. Love always wins ! And i really, sincerely love the world. :)

Love,

Mich
