Why?
28 June 2007
Stress has taken control over me for the mean time! I am really clueless how could this possibly happen to me.. *not happy* I did not sleep the whole yesterday night and currently, I am still wide awake. I went to gym at about half 9 just to worn out myself but I guessed, it didn't work. Cause I can still blog with my eyes wide open... Should I take sleeping pills? Or are there any alternatives?

Why me? Why must I face this problem? Why must I suffer silently inside? Why? Just don't like to be in this position... Speechless.. Help needed.. and just don't know where or who to turn to.. WHATEVER! Life sux for this stage...

Learning in progress....
24 June 2007
People always asked me, "What religion are you?" and I answered proudly, Buddhist! But do I really know what Buddhism is all about? The answer is, NO. Then how can I claimed that I am a Buddhist? Was it because of my parents or what?

Definitely my parents since I was dependent on them. I was taught the basic teachings on Buddhism but was not sent to a buddhist sunday school to further enhance my knowledge on Buddhism. I know it is an embarassment for not knowing my religion deeply. Well, it is never too late to learn as age is not a barrier. Hence I am actually reading "Following the Buddha's Footsteps" on the internet just to get the gist of it. Besides that I would want to get first hand experience by learning more from the Sangha(s) and their lives.

Not knowing is one thing, but believing in God is the principle in life. I do believe in Buddha and that's why I am here today! But after reading and understanding it, it makes more sense to me now! For examples why am I believing in Buddha, what is his teachings all about, what do I have to do in order to lead a harmonious and peaceful life and etc etc.

Lastly, everyone does have their own personal beliefs but it is good to learn about other religions for personal wisdom.

Refreshing!
21 June 2007
Leading a BoRiNg life these past few days! Not much to do during summer break in Newcastle unless I tour around europe (which i did last summer break, visited 9 places plus Egypt) or elsewhere. Nonetheless, I have decided not to go on vacations till the results are out. Won't be carefree as I have burden on my shoulders.

On the other hand, the SUN is finally out and my plans are working very well. Started jogging in Heaton Park since yesterday and it's so so so ReFreShinG! Now, I can feel that I am connected to the nature again unlike winter, usually hibernating at home. *Laughs* The sky is clear and filled with clouds, the flowers are so pretty that came various in colours which makes me really HaPpY, and I saw lots of dogs too! Yooohooo... Looking at them running around the field reminds me of my own very dog, Slyvia. I wonder how is she? Missed her loads. Hmm, gotta ask my parents soon. *Grins*

I am on the verge of shedding the extra pounds which had been accumulating since God knows when. Daily routine: in the morning, I'll hit the gym and in the evening I will jog in Heaton Park. I am hoping that I will lose that extra pounds by the end of this month and maintain from there onwards. Then I will be satisfied, if not, I will continue till I succeed. Determination is the word that I need to instill in my mind now... Kekeke.. Am I over doing it or an exercised freak all of a sudden?

Apart from all the above, I would like to wish Kugha a very Happy 22nd Birthday! May all your dreams come true, gal. All the best in your upcoming results. May God bless and be with you all the time! Hugs, Mingy.

Shite, running out of time now as I promised Chen to have dinner with her. Gotta go, see ya folks! And will update my blog whenever I feel like blogging again. Oops, my Ali Baba will not be happy to hear this... Ahh, probably she will remind me:

Ali Baba: Hey ming, why are you so lazy to update your blog?

Ming: Errr, I am always lazy don't you know! Hehe, and I don't have any stories to share with you people...

Ali Baba: C'mon, just blog about anything! Probably your daily life, and etc etc...

Ming: By hearing it, my hearts soften and I will give in to her and starts to blog again... Lol..

Bye for now till the next post.

Anxiety.....
19 June 2007
I can't refrain myself from thinking though it's summer break now. Why, why am I so troubled with it? Was it because of my past? Words can hardly describe how I am feeling right now. 15 more days to go and the truth is about to be revealed.I can't face anymore disappointments!

My oh my, intorelable pressures of the awaiting results. I can feel that my heart is throbbing very fast, hands are shivering and legs are trembling.

Comforting myself doesn't seems successful. However there is nothing much that I can do for now but to sit tight, pray for the best and wish for a miracle to happen till the very day comes. *Nerve-wracking*

Dear God, please bless me till the very end whatever the circumstances may be, thank you.

Happy Father's Day
17 June 2007
Without you,
I doubt I'll survive in this gigantic world;
Without your encouragement,
I am lost within those four walls;
Without your advice,
I doubt I could've come so far;
Without your love,
Is not worth living here.


Pa, you are important to us and we are longing for your love each and everyday!


These five hearts had bonded and will remain forever and ever!


Dearest Pa,

Happy Father's Day!

We would take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance that you have led us till today. We would not stand tall today if it wasn't for you and mum! You have showed us the light through the tunnel when we are facing with problems. Please continue to guide or advice us whenever you feel right. Or else, we would not be how we are today.

Thanks Pa, for all the wonderful moments that we have shared. We love you lots from the bottom of our hearts.

Loves,
Mum, TM, HM, RM and CF

Unpredictable!
15 June 2007
It has been raining all week in Newcastle. Its so gloomy and depressing! Why is the weather against us? Ruined my summer mood. It's summer and the sunny sunshine should be out and we will have great FUN. It seems it's the total opposite now. Sitting at home most of the time either in front of the tv or my laptop, having loads of food and minimal exercise. Sigh!
Guess I am a BIG POTATO COUCH and GROWING HORIZONTALLY... Somebody is gonna be happy when he reads this!!

Feeling sick now as I am totally drenched under the rain for 45 mins plus strong wind. It's so cold till my whole body felt numb. Shite! What a day i had.

Hopefully the weather will be fair starting from tomorrow. Then my plans will turn out well. Fingers Crossed!

Strange!
Have been staying in Newcastle for almost 2 years and we lost our way. *Laughing non stop* We sat on the right bus but we waited on the opposite side heading to Benton thus, we did not manage to locate our friends house. We really make a fool out of ourselves. And this is ridiculous! Imagine, almost 2 years and LOST?? *Just can't stop laughing*

Looking at the bright side, we managed to explore the places that we have not visited at all. *Grin* Afterall, it isn't that bad though we sat on the bus for nearly an hour..

Passion for FOOD
13 June 2007
Everybody in this world has great passion for food. And majority live to eat! Afterall we only have a chance to live. So why not be a littile adventurous with what we eat. It's best to try everything, anything from anywhere. Moreover food makes us Happy!

I tried to be adventurous when it comes to food but somehow I failed to do so. This is because I am finicky with the food that I am going to consume, and particularly how it is cooked. Thus I have a long list of food which i dislikes. Here it goes:

1. any food that is steamed except Octopus
2. chicken rice
3. duck
4. all the internal organs
5. chicken feet
6. don't eat chicken drumstick and thigh
7. pork except mince pork and pork ribs
8. emporer's vegetables
9. carrot
10. Balitong
11. any food that is herbal - will definitely run far far away. Hate the taste and smell
12. Green bean soup
13. Tofu-Fah
14. Black Glutinous Rice
15. anything cooked with sweet potato
16. fish ball
17. chee cheong fun
18. Chai koay
19. all perserved food, e.g. sour plums, fermented tofu, pickles vegetables and etc etc
20. chinese seaweed soup
21. baked beans and green peas
22. kim chi
23. bamboo shoots - Stinky
24. No exotic food, e.g. monkey brains, snake meat, and etc etc
25. Rojak
26. Century egg

Can't think of anymore dislikes.. And if I do, I will add on to it. I don't feel proud of myself cause I missed loads of tasty food..

Nevertheless, I loves Thai food, Malay food, Nyonya food, English food, Indian food, Japanese food rather than Chinese food though I am a Chinese origin. Weird isn't it?

Memories
This is my first time blogging and also a day to remember. Today is none other than my best friend's birthday, Yokie. Hereby taking the opportunity to wish her a very Happy 22nd Birthday! Hope she has a blast on this very day with her family and friends. Though I might not be there to celebrate with her, however, it will be remembered in my heart as always.

Reminiscence: I have known her for 10 overs years and we have shared the ups and downs as best friends together with Saw Ean. She is very friendly, always there to lend a helping hand and give comforting advice when I am in need to hear one. After the age of 17, each of us went separate ways to fulfil our own dreams. But our friendships remain inseparable and till today we still keep in touch. Thus I missed her presence and all those memories which we have shared together.

Take care and I will be back soon to see you guys....Hope to catch up everything when I am back home!

Huggies from me to you.
