P.S. I Love You

Jon McLaughlin - So Close

Pondering about how it all begin

.

Stunningly beautiful and wonderful, it was

.

I love the simplicity in our relationship

Love the way you move your fingers gracefully

On the black and white keys of the Grand

Vividly, I recall the time we spent together

Every second, every minute filled with laughter and bliss

You completed the circle of my life

Over the years I have been awaiting

Umpteen times I recited your name and finally destiny brought us together again

Love, Eve.

Librarian Installation 2009

Keith Urban - Kiss a Girl

Time is up for me to step down as a librarian. For 5 years, I've been trying and worked hard but all my efforts does not seemed to be recognised by anybody. Have I not done enough? Have I not tried hard enough?

As an ex-secretary of the librarian board, I have written all the minutes, reports, letters and have done whatever a secretary is supposed to do. The problems I am facing which nobody else knows about:

FIRST : Pn. Zaini insisted in checking all of them. Even the smallest mistake in the report she will point it out and make me print it again. That's her first problem.

SECOND : Pn. Zaini will promise me to check the stuff I wrote and get back to me as soon as she does. Till now, even though I stepped down, I still have a few minutes waiting for her to check and I bet the probability of her loosing those are like 10/10? Damn it. And she thinks that I didn't do work. Who's the inefficient one here? Get a mirror.

THIRD : As our ex-president, Grace Wong said, it doesn't mean that I am not committed to doing my job as a librarian when I don't show my face in the library that often like what the others do! I do care. It your damned attitude that pissed me off. I apologise for the language but its you. I did my part and its your responsibility to do yours and stop blaming them on me. You will still be the cause of my " slacking " attitude.

Installation was a mess. It was not organised at all. Not to say that I'm a show off but honestly I think the installation I organised last year was way better. At least it all went well. Mistakes :

FIRST : Emcees. Why can't they throw their poker face off and act well at least? They actually said " Wow! What a great performance by the ...! " with a stiff expression with got no resemblance that they are feeling impressed. Worse still, the emcees can be so ignorant that they got lost in the middle and not trying to figure out a way. Instead, they started communicating with the O.C. below the stage.

SECOND : Please know your stuff committees. Don't ask the teachers to walk up the stage to give out prizes all of a sudden. Make sure they know that they are going to give out the prizes soon or how many times. For God's sakes, you all made the teachers go down the stage and called them up again when they were making their way down. Its just all so confusing and not professional.

THIRD : Please don't have so high expectations that many will turn up for your lousy installation. Please don't arrange so many chairs and leave them empty cause there are none to fill them up! And the arrangement is stupid. It will just make the hall looks much more empty. Use your head.

FOURTH : Wonder who was the judge for the performance audition. The performances were lousy! All so potong, as in stop/end all of a sudden. The audience wouldn't know its time to clap when they all ended hanging. However, the last performance by ex-librarian Tiew Yan Shan was great.

What I enjoyed most was the walk to and back from cendol with MinYap, Johnathan Lee, Khai Sern, Xin Wei, Charlene, Yuen Hee and Yee Nern. :) Thank you Min Yap for buying us all cendol.

Sorry for any insult I might have said in this post. It all comes from the heart. Accept them or not, up to you.

Love, Eve.

A pair of doves. That's what we are.

Kara DioGuardi - Taking Chances

Sitting on a bench by the cafe

I was scrutinising lovers at the bay

I reminisced how alike we were yesterday

Compared to Romeo and Juliet in the play

You clasp my hands tight and goodbye is all you say

Then you leave me strolling alone by the walkway

Why do you have to go away?

You left me tearing everyday

For the fact that you couldn't stay

For now, all my hopes turn to hay

All my dreams turn grey

But all I can do is to pray

Hope God is there to cast some ray

Hope you receive the message I convey

And love me back if you may

Look inside yourself and find peace.

Love, Eve.

Blossoms In The Summer Days.

This is a beautiful poem I read from one of my assignments. Its in mandarin so I tried my best to translate it into English for those who doesn't understand Chinese characters. Enjoy! :)

如何让你遇见我
在我最美丽的时刻

为着
我已在佛前求了五百年
求佛让我们结一段尘缘
佛于是把我化作一棵树
长在你必经的路旁

阳光下

慎重的开满了花

朵朵都是我前世的盼望

当你走近

请你细听

那颤抖的叶

是我等待的热情

而当你终于无视的走过

在你身后落了一地的

朋友啊

那不是花瓣

那时我凋零的心

How do I make your acquaintance?

At the most beautiful moment of my life

For this

I've prayed to God for 500 years

Wish we could have an exquisite destiny

My prayers were answered

God transformed me into a tree

Grown by the route you'd pass everyday

Under the affectionate sunlight

My flowers bloomed glamorously

Every blossom filled with the dreams and desires of my past life

When you approach

Can you hear

Those trembling leaves of mine?

That is me

Sincerely awaiting destiny

But when you pass by with nary a glance in my direction

Those which fall endlessly on the ground

My dearest

Are not the fragile petals

But are the broken pieces of my heart

There will always be light at the end of a dark path.

Love, Eve.

Beyond Ordinary ( 5BR).

Listening to: 萤火虫 ( Firefly) by Ariel Lin

5Br has undeniably became united over the year. Although the unity in us is still nothing compared to others, but for us to leave each other to pursue what we want in life now will be tougher than we thought it will be.

The class page was incredibly beautiful. Of course, credits to:

- Sarah Lee for putting so much effort in decorating it,

- Pau Ling, whose dad sponsored quite an amount of money and she herself going around snapping pictures for the class layout,

- Rachel, for collecting such a big sum of money and develop the pictures,

- Mei Yi, for getting so stressed out at the beginning just for the sick of this class page.

- Yi Lin, for providing all the valuable comments and ideas on how to make the class layout nicer,

- And those whom spend time & money just for our class layout.

Thank you, you all. :)

A Day Comes. Another Goes.

Eh yo~ HANG JEBAT! Eh yo~ HANG JEBAT!

When I inclined my head to look at the gorgeous skyline, it was then that I realised we were up so early before dawn breaks for Sports Day. I was pacing towards the R&R while I kept my ears busy with all the chanting of timing of marchers from all contingents representing all houses and uniform body who were there earlier to practice for one last time before the real thing starts.

At 7.30am, the sun is up, trying to penetrate its ray through the thick layer of dark clouds but to no avail. Marchers gathered behind the hall to prepare themselves for the day. Within spilt seconds, green house and purple house marchers started to stomp their feet hard against the semen ground while chanting " Kiri, Kiri, Kiri Kanan Kiri...".

I waited anxiously under the shady tree, watching purple house marchers doing their formation in front of the stage and listening hard for Daniel's command in the mean time. By the time purple house marching team was out of sight, we made a grand entrance to the front of the stage. I was oblivious of the cheering crowd when I was shouting my lungs out while doing the formation ( It requires lots of shouting and 100x of spirit doing the Hakka thing and the Baseball routine ). After all the commotion blue house marchers had created, I vividly saw our headmistress's big grin. Guess our formation and sophisticated routine was beyond satisfaction?

We were lucky enough to be able to stand in the field for around 40 minutes in that cloudy morning. The sun was completely blocked by layers of thick clouds. However, I could not help but to sweat profusely as the air was still at that moment. Minutes before contingents were getting ready to leave the field, sunlight broke free and lighten the entire school ground. :)

After eaten two pathetic pieces of sandwiches and a piece of sugar rich donut, I went back to the stage as representative for prize-giving ceremony which then earned myself a pair of Adidas socks. :D I guess it was because of sugar rush, I was extremely high-spirited and was shouting and cheering as athletes zoomed pass me.

Clock struck 11.30am when all the marchers of all contingents gather around the front of the stage again. Sugar rush not over. I found myself cheering at the top of my lungs again. Finally, one of the important juncture of my high school life before graduating has arrived. Announcing the champion of this year's inter-house marching competition... The suspense was killing, although I knew it will be no other but Blue House. I let my head dropped while closing my eyes to listen to the instant quiet crowd after Pn. Doreen began announcing the result with my fingers crossed.

" Rumah... Hang... JEBAT! Blue house wins again! " I felt the chill slid down my spine then spread to the whole body till the tips of my trembling fingers. It wasn't the cold which caused it, in fact, the joy and achievement. I could not be any happier than that moment. Well, obviously I started cheering like a cheerleader alongside my teammates, subconsciously leaping up into the air with hands waving furiously. Watching Brandon, our house captain held the trophy firmly in the air was overwhelming.

I suddenly had the strong sense of deja vu. I found us doing the winning strategy again - Hakka in front of the cheering crowd. Of course, as usual, blue house marchers are crazy enough to paint our faces and that was one of the asset which carried us all the way to the top. * Cheers* All eyes were on us once more watching how we kicked it. It was plain bliss.

And therefore, Sports Day ended with blue house winning the champion for marching, second for house decorations and second for overall house cup. :D

Listening to: Dance With My Father Again by Luther Vandross

Love, Eve.

Troubled.

Listening to : Geu Nal Ee Hoo Ro by Sung Si-kyung

First two days of school were normal. They were in fact lessons-free. However, we were bombarded by all the teachers with all our mid-year examination marks as expected and all of us were inevitably, shocked by the marks which awaken us from the semi-conscious, sleepy condition during the holidays.

Although I have not gotten back all my results, I thought I did quite a great job this time as the papers were undeniably tough especially for papers like Biology and History. What I did not expect was my Moral marks. It was devastating and my heart skipped a beat when I sum up the marks for the paper. All I know was I tried my best and I did whatever I thought I was supposed to do and wrote whatever I thought teacher would want me to write. I guess knowledge about Moral I have in mind is not enough for me to get a better result. * shrugs *

I went for today's marching practice in order to make sure I catch up with the team but what made me disappointed was the number of marchers present for the practice. The sight of it made me feel anxious and concerned about Sports Day. It will just be a miracle if we could be prepared in time for Sports Day which falls on the 26th of June. Felt groggy after I went home.

Love, Eve.

Sigh.

Listening to : First Love by Utada Hikaru

Funny or not, I am one of the people to find Accounts dreadful. Somehow, I feel that Accounts is just not my forte unlike how Jeremy Lee can handle it like a piece of cake. Sometimes I just think that I have to work extremely hard for better performance in Accounts. Sigh.

It was a depressing, overcast Saturday morning. Thick haze overshadowed my feelings. Myriad thoughts flashed through my Accounts-filled mind. 'What if I did not do well or even worse than the last time? My mum will be will extremely disappointed in me.' I whispered to myself so softly that those words are inaudible even to my own ears. Sometimes I wonder why did I took up Accounts in the first place.

Since Thursday, I was working my life off, cracking head, just to put a real effort to understand Accounts for this morning's exam. Flipping through all the papers, reading thoroughly, absorbing workings like a sponge hoping all could fit in just in time before the exam. 

I think all my hard works have paid off. My accounts have balanced and I don't seemed to have any trouble figuring out the workings and answers for each questions. At first, I thought I really was going to flunk this exam, but when I took a glance at those questions I dread to look at, I felt the adrenaline rush through my veins and before I realised what was going on, my fingers were firm on the blue pen I was using and was writing figures and letters at a great speed. My hands were quick, flipping through papers. My eyes were gliding from left to right so fast that I myself felt a little dizzy from the vigorous taking in of figures.

I flinched abruptly whenever I discovered a mistake. Guess that was an act to show how silly I was to make that kind of mistakes. When I turned to my right to look at Mark, he was too, paying full concentration on the questions and making little noises occasionally which were enough for me to know what he was thinking. Sigh. I'm not the only one who got stressed out for this Accounts Exam. :D

***

Time flies so fast that it felt like lightning strike. By the time you see what's happening and feeling comfortable with the things happening around you, its gone with the wind and never turning back again, simply leaving fading memories with you which replays over and over again for a short period of time and then completely deleted from your memory. So grasp and treasure every moment in life so not to regret it in the nearest future. :)

Love, Eve.

Cambodia II ( Angkor Thom )

After letting the happenings of this trip sink for some time, its time to surface it again. To be able to enjoy what has really left for us in Angkor Wat, one must really love real rock climbing besides being physically fit and has a good health condition. Know why? The ancient stairs are steep, excruciatingly steep. However, its still nothing compared to the stairs leading up to the peak of Wu Yi Mountain in Fu Jian, China. :D

Wooden stairs for beginners.

Rock stairs for adventurous and experienced people. ;D

I climbed it obviously. Since I was there, why not enjoy everything which was laid out to me? Took a picture as memory after climbing the rock stair. Mind you, this is not the only steep rock stair in Angkor Thom.

Back to the elephant terrace. You have to take a look at the staggering carvings on the rocks which are stacked up systematically during the ancient times. The way they handle the rocks remain unfathomable like how ancient Egyptians built the wondrous pyramids in Egypt. Without technologies like the crane, how can they possibly lift and stack the gigantic stone structures?

Once again, I conquered yet another steep tower...

Tips : For people who are petrified of height, DO NOT look down when you are climbing and DO NOT stand so close to the edge to look down upon reaching the top. Your knees will wobble vigorously. :) If you want to make fun of these kind of people, this is the greatest opportunity. * evil laughs *

After all the climbing chaos, its time to head to a place where one of the top rated action scenes were taken place few years back * drum roll * -----> Tomb Raider Cambodia Angkor Wat scene! Ha! It was the big, archaic tree which left a grave effect on the ancient temple which impeded us from wondering whether was the scene taken in the studio or was it really taken in Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

When I set eyes on the entire place, engulfing the condition on how the archaic trees easily blend into the building structures, I was dumbfounded. My jaw dropped to my collarbone, my eyes wide open as if I saw ghost, it was just astounding. Some of the trees are big and heavy enough to crush the strong structures down!

Before proceeding to the famous tree, take a glimpse of the last Buddha face left in the entire temple.

Note : At a certain period, the king of Angkor decided to change the country's religion from Buddhist to Hindu so he made craftsmen scrape off all of the Buddha faces replacing them with the Hindu Gods. ;D

Proudly present the so called Tomb Raider tree!

Took it just in time when the sun peeked out from the clouds.

Otherwise it'll be like this... :)

Something to cheer up your day before I sign off...

Is this what you people call 'potong' ? * giggles*

Just thought these picture were random and nice...

To be continued...

Love, Eve
