Dancing with our fathers.

Steven Curtis Chapman : Cinderella

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,
And I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone.

Well, she came home today
With a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
but I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
(even one song)
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

This is currently my favorite song, and Yes Yes Winnie. See, according to Winnie (I decided to change her nickname to something more professional) I have ALOT of favorite songs. Which of course differs from the real meaning of FAVORITE. Anyway, as I was saying, this is CURRENTLY my favorite song. I simply love this song, listening to it makes me feel sad. And please, I'm not a sadist ok. Well, let me explain.

You see, this song was written by a man name Steven Curtis Chapman, who is actually a famous singer for gospel songs. It seems that he wrote this song addressing to his 2 adopted little girls from China, thinking about how time passes so quickly and how he gets to spend less and less time with his girls. Early this year, his youngest adopted daughter was knocked down by his biological son. PLEASE PEOPLE, it's not because he was jealous of their relationship and felt left out.. She's only 5 years old OK. The boy was reversing into the driveway when he drove over her, she passed instantly.

It's damn blardy sad ok.. She's so blardy cute. Here's a picture of her. Her name is Maria Sue Chapman. Chinese girls are so adorable.. awwwww..

Maria Sue! GO CHINA!

So anyway, this afternoon (5/9/08) Val, Mich and I were in the car on our way back after lunch at Ikano. And suddenly Mich gets a phone call from her dad, and from one side of the phone line.. here's how the conversation went..

Mich: What? Why Cannot?

Mich's Dad: (we couldn't hear, she wasn't on loud speaker)

Mich: I don't care, I will tell her.

Mich's Dad: (still can't hear)

Mich: Why? Why? I will tell her. I don't care.

Mich's Dad: (again...)

Mich: Yerr Daddy!! You so bad!

It was then when I notice something and had to turn to val and ask.

"Val, can you ever be like that to Uncle Chan? (her dad. else it would be weird being LIKE THAT to some stranger) Cos I don't think I can have that kind of relationship with my dad. It's just weird"- Said Me.

Val agreed with me. Our dads are the same, and I shall not go further than that statement. Sorry, it's a close family secret. HAHA! So I guess it's good to have someone who would understand how you feel when it comes to dad. Sometimes when I watch those Guai Lo movies, when they have weddings or whatever functions, even Sweet 16s. To those Guai Lo daughters, it is very important to them to have their first dance with their father. And I was just wondering , I can't dance for NUTS. And I highly doubt my dad can too. We're Chinese man. The only dancing is Lion Dancing or the Cha Cha Cha. Besides, it would be really weird having to dance with my dad. But, most of the time, I do wish I get to experience that special relationship they have with their dads.

Growing up with 3 other brothers, sometimes I forget the Basics of being a girl. And as I grow older, there are things in the world for a girl that I experience, things that my brothers just wouldn't understand. The only person I have in the world is my Mum, and I wouldn't trade her for anyone else in the world. But sometimes I do wish I had a sister, I often envy my friends like mich,val,winnie or steph, everytime they mention their sisters. I wish I could experience the feeling of having someone that you can share completely everything with, a sister that you can hold hands with when you go shopping. Or someone to share your clothes with.

OKOK, enough. No Emo Allow! I guess I'll stop now, sorry I can't think of an ending. I guess this will do. Will be going to Melaka tmrw with my good friend Crystal and her BF I-Ish, I will try my best to update whenever I can. Since I'm back by POPULAR DEMAND. (Michelle demand, HAHA!) She misses my blogging.

L.I.F.E

Like It's Freaking Exciting.

You know one of things that the kids do that adds on to my many enjoyable days in Kumon is when they don't understand what you say. And sometimes it's just so darn difficult to explain what you said.

For example.

Last week, one of my favorite student [yes, I know as a teacher I shouldn't be bias] was sitting in front of me doing his work while I was marking one of the other students work. Who happen to get almost all of his questions wrong. Then the student sitting in front of me started asking..

Boy: Wah, teacher. He got so many wrong.

Teacher: Because he is so very smart.

Boy: Huh? If he's smart, I don't think he would get all wrong.

Teacher: Not smart smart lah. Never mind, I was being Sarcastic.

Boy: Sarcastic? Teacher, what you mean?

Teacher: Erh, you know when you say something you don't mean. erhh something like that

[Fine, I know that's not the exact meaning. But come on lah, how the hell to explain sarcastic?]

Boy: But teacher? Why would we wanna say something we don't mean?

[When he said that, I thought to myself. True also, shit la this stupid kid. So the only reply I could think of was...]

Teacher: Aiyah, Just do your work lah. Don't talk so much.

The power of being a teacher, I say DO WORK! They do. And our conversation is forgotten! =D But I have to admit, gotta love kids these days!

Welcome to Bangkok, Thailand [Phase 1]

OK.. OoooooK!

Finally, I've got my internet back. And although my mum and I have been sitting in front of the computer ever since we got home (I mean, come on. The woman hasn't even changed yet!). Anyway, it's back to blogging, facebook and surfing the net. Due to me not having an internet connection, I'm now very poor on Friend For Sale. And BossMun even has like 2Million. Dammit! Finally I'm back to the internet world, and as promised, blog for my recent Bangkok - Thailand holiday.

And I know I said before that next post would be about the "Fish Spa" we went. But since I had no connection for the past 2 weeks, I personally feel the OMPH and excitement of Fish Spa has died.

Sorry, so shall we proceed to Bangkok Vacation 2008?

oh yea, and before I begin..

Maxis you still suck. So, NOT forgiven. Blardy hell give us a month free la. Since you already took 2 weeks of OUR time. retards. pfft.

So, instead of telling you our entire itinerary by long boring letters, I thought perhaps a photo journey would be much more appealing. You think so?

Moving along.

Welcome to

Bangkok Vacation 2008. - Phase 1
The Land of SMILES.

[applause]

Before we begin..

Please..
Please remember..

Now we've got all the rules and regulations understood. Let me just give you a brief summary of our trip. There was 4 of us..

Louisa - De SaSaSa

Winnie - De WhineyWinnie

Stephanie - De SmokeySteph

And yours truly.

So first stop, LCCT.

Before we leave for Bangkok, on AirAsia. Surprisingly the flight and customer service was really good. Recommended, seriously. For any poor people out there who wants to fly but have no money, AirAsia will help get you to where you want to go!

LCCT

Rich homeless looking people I found in LCCT [tee-hee, joke!]

SmokeySteph and a fucking VIOLENT drunktard.

Freaks, being themselves.

oh yea.

Reminder:
Please bring your own food on AirAsia. As they charge you for every single thing.
So be prepared to pay and jus sit on the plane without moving an inch.

And,

if anyone is going on AirAsia again, please get me that pair of black flip-flops. Thanks.

After 2 Hours..

WELCOME TO BANGKOK, THAILAND
The Land of Smiles!

Even Ronald is HERE!

I jus HAD to take this picture. You see, the one thing I love about Bangkok is.. Their ADVERTISING. Here you see a guy, wearing tight spandex with some weird sharp plastic shapes covering him. This definitely caught my attention.

[Promoting for product: MAC - cosmetics]

Central World Plaza - One of the biggest Shopping Complex in Bangkok

An Arsenal Shop, for my brother to see and envy.

Next day, We went on a City Tour. Basically, going on a boat that will bring you around the "city" on a dirty water. Now I know it may not sound as interesting as it is. But trust me, It was really enjoyable. One of the highlights of our trip, YO!

A DARK picture of us.
[Because the photographer was an idiot.]

A nicer one.

On something that is on the river.
It shakes and moves.

A second shot.
[in case this photographer was another idiot.]

And, We got on the Boat.

to..

FEED FISH!!!

Next stop, Gem Gallery. Where we were welcomed with free drinks! And ladies who chase you around the gallery, hoping that you would buy something!

[Trust me, they really do chase you]

I tried running, and she actually ran after me! I just kept saying
"no buy no buy! look for friend! OK?!"

Then I guess she finally understood that this is NOT a buying customer. She left me alone.

Anyway, here's SaSaSa in the Video presentation.

CamWhore 01 - In Car

CamWhore 02 - Same Car

Next, BEE FARM.

Where they DON'T have actual Bees around.

Yeah I know, I was frigging disappointed too. Was looking forward to going there actually :(

SaSaSa and SmokeySteph being disgusted about something bee-ish.

Taiwan guy speaker - He's quite cute lah.

SmokeySteph was the guinea pig for some Bee thingy[where they steal from the Queen B] to show how FLAWLESS her skin would be.

Please wait 15mins for effect. Thank You.

After our city tour, we went to what we knew best.

SHOPPING. at mbt or something like that.

WhineyWinnie wanted to try the 'Mister Donut' so badly, and she finally had her chance.

Sorry. No pictures of Donuts.
Donuts make me wanna puke.

but.. I have a picture of us! Isn't that much better? :D

OK, this is the end of Phase 1.
I'm super tired and I need to sleep! Meeting up with WhineyWinnie early in the morning to get our hair done. Hehe! I'm finally gonna perm my hair. After waiting for donkey years for my hair to grow. Wish me luck. Hopefully my head isn't too bald to not be able to perm :(

WhineyWinnie is gonna dye her hair RED.
Yeah, Don't worry.

I'll take pictures ;p

Who Else?

Maxis. Whole lot of CRAP!

Every single time you hear people complain about streamyx, and it's a norm. When you hear Streamyx, everyone says it sucks.

BAD Customer Service.
BAD Connection.
BAD Everything.

Since my area doesn't get Streamyx, we terpaksa use Maxis for our phone / internet connection.

Maxis.

As mentioned before, the whole God creating lightning and frying my router. And it's been 8 days.

[oh yea, it seems my CPU kena fried too. I jus found that out.]

So according to our technician, it's the Modem that kena fried. Not the router. Anyway, my mum immediately went to Maxis the next day to replace our modem. And they replaced our modem the very same day, so we brought it home and fixed it up. "To our suprise" modem works, but no connection from Maxis. So my mum called and asked them to fix it up, they promised to give us the connection in 2 hours time.

So we wait.

Continue waiting..

2 Hours gone by..

and...

STILL NO CONNECTION! YAY! PKM!

we waited to fucks. Stupid Maxis.

So my mum got really pissed got as she put it "What am I suppose to do without internet?" She called them again..

This time they said "You'll have to wait 2 days for us to send our technician"

WTF?! 2 days?! Your freaking technician coming from USA ar??? So.. again..

NO INTERNET!

NO BLOGG!

NO EMAIL!

NO MSN!

Please miss me.. All you out there with internet :(

Also, just because of the INTERNET. I missed my chance of watching Kung Fu Panda with my brudders!!!

I HATE YOU MAXIS!!!

My World Is BLACK

3 post in a night, and I keep coming. HA!

Just some random crap. But a few weeks ago, SaSaSa, WhineyWinnie and I went to LowYat to get an External Hard Drive for myself. I needed their help with the whole

"TIEW LEI SEK GONG LAN JIAU KUANG TONG WAH MOU?" language translation and all. Such good friends right?

So, we literally walked the entire LOWYAT and yet I still couldn't decide on which damn hard drive to buy. That's cos BossMun showed me some pictures of the WD Passport [Black, soo sexy] and I just couldn't look at any other stuff than that.

FINALLY, I decided to get it at one store with a lady who looks like Jay Chou. Ooooo! And we spent more than an HOUR, just so that I could decide on whether I wanted the 250GB Black or the 320GB RED!!!! I KNOW!!! RED!!! OMG!!!

I CAN NEVER LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I'D EVER BUY THE RED!!!

Although I almost, Thank God I came to my senses and decided on the Black. Although less capacity, who cares? It's better than RED!!! Tee-Hee! SaSaSa and WhineyWinnie got reallly annoyed at me that day, at least now the world knows i am for BLACK!!! and ONLY BLACK!

Here's How the WD Passports look like, you decide. Black Better right?!

The UGLY Red. [-10 Points]

The Sexy Black. [+10 Points]


So after our shopping at LowYat, we went for dinner at some chinese restaurant [which I forgot the name]. And THERE, was like 6 CHOW YONG GEEKS who sat behind us, kept dissing GIRLs. As though they knew how to REALLY treat a lady.

DUDE! Look, I don't wanna be mean la. But seriously, HAVE YOU SEEN THE MIRROR?! What girls?! You can get girls meh? If YOU get guys also considered lucky lo..

Don't think REAL LIFE GIRLS can be treated the same as the Porn Stars you subscribe to everynight kay?! GET A LIFE LAH SEI YONG SUI PKM!!

ahhhhh, released. Anyway! After dinner, we went to get in touch with our INNER CHINAH-SELF and decided to take one of those lala sticker picture. Although our faces couldn't pass as one of those LALA MUIS and CHAIS, I think we did pretty aight. We also added a lot of those shiny sparkling stars around our pictures just so that it would show atleast a little of our CHINAH CHINAH side.

Here's us, getting in touch with our INNER CHINAH SELF.



The entire row of ultimate LALA-ness.

See how 'Guai Lou' we look?

I'd like to call this the 'we're lala yo!'

I would have called it something else like "gangsta", but because of WhineyWinnie who TOTALLY KILLED THE GANGSTA look [and may I remind you, this is not the first time]. We still love you WhineyWinnie. <3 Oh well, at least SaSaSa and I look cool. Yeah!~ Love you girls.

Anyway, Next post.
[FISH SPA] that's IF i'm not too lazy. HA!

Who Else?
