短短的三天
报纸连登的好几天头条
两宗大车祸 一宗溺水意外
共有逾十条宝贵的性命
就这样丧失

好好一个家庭的天伦乐
无端端没有了
一夜间失去亲人的家属
个个哭断肠
让人看了难受又心酸

以前自己也很喜欢开快车
除了觉得这是城市人的作风外
为的只不过是要多快几十分钟
抵达目的地
要不边开车边打短讯
如今才觉醒
一个不小心 一个不经意
就可以令许许多多的家庭
从此失去欢笑

其实 只要每一个人
在使用公路时
可以慢一点 小心一点 礼让一点
那大家都可以快快乐乐的出门
平平安安的回家
要知道每一天的“平安归来”
是给予家人最大的礼物

一个人的行驶态度
不只是保障我们个人和其他使用者的安全
还连系到每一个家庭的欢乐

If u hv good memory, i mentioned that i hv a little niece coming over for a short stay with us tis holiday. Yup, u did not read wrongly, my little niece, which also means im a little auntie already.. It's really auntie cheng now.. Keke.. But i told her to address me as 'june jieh jieh' rather than 'june biao gu gu'.. :D

So, tis' her! My little ah-xuan.. Gosh, she's superbly cute and adorable!! U would be amazed how little children nowadays are so talkative, so intelligent and so 'hyperactive'.. They could descibe things in such a funny manner as if they were adults. N they just could not sit down properly or finish up their meals by themselves.. In fact, u hv to chase them after the stairs or from the living room until the kitchen to feed them a spoonfull of food or to change their pyjamas.. But i guess that's what kids today behave. I dont rmb im that 'smart' when i was in young age.
Well, the house was filled with laughter, noise and cries since she came. Everyone began to talk in such a baby-ly and gentle tone. Toys kept for years in our boxes were unsealed and 'displayed' in the living room again. N three of us just hv to sit down with her and play masak-masak or barbie dolls.. :)
Btw, she's 4 tis year.
Haha.. Bleehhh.. Naughty and playful look.. Well she would be staying over here until year end. From my point of view, the bad thing is: I faced a serious delay in the progress of completing my essay due to tis 'part time' job. Hv to really keep an eye on her movement, especially that she likes playing on the staircase, going up and down, up and down. Fortunately she does not wear diapers now. Ohh but whenever she does not hv enough sleep, she would start crying n yelling.. We call that 'lao gai' in cantonese.. But the good thing is: I felt like a kid again. N i think i can really get along with kids very very well =P

It's christmas eve one hour ago, and it's christmas now!! Merry christmas :D :D :D

Had a pleasant christmas dinner at aunt's house complemented with suprises of exchanging gifts with one another. Tis year's christmas is slightly different from the previous ones, as we bought a christmas tree for our home! Well, it was due before i was back, so basically it were mum, jane n joy who worked together to make the lights of the christmas tree work :)

The second difference is that we have our little niece here celebrating this festive season with our family. Has just arrived klia yesterday n grandma will be joining us tomorrow.

Albeit not a christian, i ve always liked christmas. Not merely bcuz of the nice and lively christmas songs and carols, but also the atmosphere of celebrating towards year end, n ultimately spending time with ur loved ones.

It's the long awaited 'tong zhi'!!

In the past, the 3 of us used to just shaping the balls, but this year i followed each procedure step-by-step. The favourite part was to 'throw' them into the pot and then it was so exciting to see the balls popping up and dancing on the hot water when they were ready to be consumed..
So colourful and lovely ^-^Mmm.. yum yum :) I prefer those with nuts, but usually they r not as cute as the little ones, bcuz it's harder to shape them. Hehe..

I ve always like this occasion, not merely bcuz of the fun of shaping the little, colourful balls, but also due to the underlying meaning of it: 'Tang yuan, tang yuan, yi jia tuan yuan'.. :D Especially when the three of us r doing it together with mummy. We will shape all sorts of awkward shapes like hamburger, teddy, strand-shaped etc. Last year jane even shaped 'shit'.. Hehe.. N in the evening, daddy will be welcomed by it when he's back home from one day's work.

I guess if we r celebrating 'tong zhi' in a 4 season country, then it would be even splendid! Imagine sipping the soup as the cold, evil snow r pouring outside ur window.. It would be so warm and sweet.. But nvm, it's still enjoyable celebrating it at homeland.

Am just back from penang after a short stay of 3 days. A little snap along gurney drive. The tide was low that day, but our hearts r warm and cosy.. I dont know why. It seems this holiday is just too short! So much to do, but too little time. Crazy essay works were left behind. I shall get them done soon.. :D

Hmm... I can foresee almost everyone is going to be bored of tis. Having just bidding farewell with some of u 2.5months ago, im going to be home again!! As some of u mentioned, i dont behave like an oversea students, esp when the time i m spending in klang exceeds those who r studying locally. I shall say, it's not that im (or my father, to be more precise) is very rich. It's just that, going home is normal :D Moreover with the overwhelming and superbly cold weather here, u r basically discouraged to go outdoors or travelling, not to mention holidays assignments awaiting to be completed yet.

I guess, coming back home is so much warmer, in terms of weather and feelings. Especially with the season of christmas and new year, it's always wonderful to spend two such meaningful and romantic occasions with ur loved ones :D
Wishing u guys merry christmas and happy new year in advance!! Enjoy ur break and have a pleasant time.. ^-^

Yayyy, Term 1 officially ends now. Wasnt really a very good 'closing ceremony' i would say, thanks to the finance paper again. Im unsure if u guys have the same experience, but the examinations here, especially objective questions, werent fun at all! The way they set the question was just so cruel and unkind.

In Malaysia, usually our questions sound like tis:

Eg. Question 1: Given Yunyun has 10 apples, she gave 3 to yunmin. How many apples does Yunyun still has?

A. 6
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9

Basically, once u perform ur calculations as the question stated, you would be able to get ur answer immediately. And here it goes, option B is circled and u proceed to the next question.

But in UK:
Eg. Question 1. Given Yunyun has 10 apples, which of the following is false?

A. If she gives 3 to yunmin, she still has 7 apples.
B. If she buys another 4 apples, she will have 14 apples.
C. If one can be sold for rm2, she will end up with rm8.
D. If one crate can accommodate 5 apples, she needs 2 crates.
E. Assuming the apples are either green or red, if there are 4 red apples, there will be 6 green ones.

See? Instead of calculating or answering just 1 question, u r actually answering 5 questions!!! Note that there r 5 options instead of our classical A, B, C & D. Worst, the time constraint was just fairly unreasonable. In Malaysia, u will be given sufficient time to do, to check and even to re-check. Here? It's more of a 'luck' test, assessing ur luck for the day, as most of ur answers were mainly derived from guesses as u could not finish them, rather than a real test that tests ur understand and ability.

I dont know. It's sort of the 'beauty' of setting exam questions. Perhaps some of u could tell me if all universities are like tis. I just dislike it in a way tat ur preparation doesnt breed desirable fruits of success.

Anyway, it's over now. Look ahead!!

Hmm.. weather's getting colder and colder..
How i wish it could snowwww for once before i fly home.. ^-^

ps: Happy Anniversary Daddy & Mummy!!

I cant believe time has passed so fast. It's just 6 MORE DAYS from today.. I can steer myself away from this seat of mine, facing the trio-highlighted notes, facebook and drama self-imposed ban, sleep-deprived life, and instead, do all of my favourite things!! Shopping, karaoke, staying and swinging at home, christmas, hugging my television instead of my lappie, meeting up with friends, travelling, eating nice food, driving, going outdoors without my winter coat..

But all these desirable and wonderful time will be coming in exchange of this dreadful final week of the term.. with despised essays and test.. Tats y i cant really feel any excitement to hop onto my happy plane home until i get all my work sorted out. I must must must finish my AIC essay tonite. Then scan all essay materials on mon and tue, revise my finance on wed n thurs, sit for my test on friday and at the night itself, do packing and print my air itenary on fri (can someone remind me of that pls? And my passport!!).. Hopefully, i get to enjoy a nice christmas meal before i head back.

Wat can i say?? No matter how much u hate all these, u just have to face them and get over with them. Then you can revel in the going-home excitement and make the airfare worth it.. ^-^
Jia you jia you!!
