alone

this was taken a few weeks ago.
it's one of the abandoned houses along the Concubine Lane in Ipoh old town.
there's something about this house that attracts my attention and every time i walk pass,
i will surely look into it.

imagine how it looked like many years ago.
well-lighted hall.
where parties were held.
people walking up and down the stairs.
people sitting around the table.with maids serving their master and family.


but now,
abandoned.
it was left all alone.

sweet dream, or beautiful nightmare?

and so there's this dream that has become the family joke...

in that dream.....
i was riding a horse ... galloping.. kept on galloping.. with the wind blowing across my face.. *you know, something like LoTR.. blah blah blah*

Suddenly, i heard someone calling my name..

"Jiahui.......Jiaaaahui......."

I slowed down and looked around.. expecting someone to come on a horse ... *geeee...*
There's no one... everywhere is green in colour, with nice blue sky... No one.

The horse cantered a bit. And I still heard someone calling my name.

"Jiaaaahui.... jiaahuiiii....."

when the person was about to appear...

Taa daaaaaaaa...........!

I opened my eyes and guess who i saw?!

ajw standing at the left corner of the bed, trying to wake me up for breakfast.
>.<

geeee... i always have canggih-manggih dreams :p

somehow,

we have forgotten how to walk the second mile.

cloudy and rainy.

i'm back from haven. Peacehaven.

i haven't really gotten the time to think about the past one week... to process whatever experiences i had... blah blah blah.

i don't know whether i have found any peace there but at least i saw some of the reasons why there's no peace. and i guessed those reasons explain the chest pains. the deep breaths. the restlessness. the fear. the worries.

where art thou?

David and Jonathan

i have been thinking about them for many days.

there's a lot of things in my mind but as usual... i don't know how to sort them out .. let alone voicing them out.

my mind is stuffed with many 'why?'s
but He said,

Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

and therefore I will be up in Haven for 3 days 2 nights searching for Peace.

Beautiful Nightmare

eat more garlic

Life goes on with more garlic to peel .. 4 nights a week the time between dinner and bedtime is spent peeling garlics. It has become my family's favourite pastime. *grrrrhhh, it's all because of the inefficiency of a certain people*

this cyber cafe is better and quieter. my brother keeps telling me not to go to the previous one because that one sucks. my mum said she will pay me rm20 per hour to sit beside my brother and make him do some maths questions. haha, and i have been using that offer to disturb him.. geee... purposely cari pasal je lar... :p

i am getting ready for the one week break from my Ipoh life. hehe. now i'm half done packing my bags and i have 6 more days to go before leaving Ipoh. :p *yesh, i'm always very gan cheong when it comes to packing stuff to go somewhere else.*

what else....
my mum wants me to go fix my two 'tiger teeth'. issshhh.... whatever.. :p

i don't know what else to blog about. i guess my kind of blogging-power is decreasing.
*it goes low low low low low low low....*

the advert board in pudu bus terminal is stuck on my mind. it has a bus company named Amazing Grace. i saw it on the 16th Aug while waiting to go down to board the bus back to Ipoh. i had a loooooooooong train ride from Klang. it was already 1120 when i was waiting for the lrt to get to pasar seni and i wanted to get home asap. thank God for the 1150 bus. while waiting, i looked up and saw the advert board.. i remembered the four years and the moments i had the day before. and i remembered my greatgrandma's funeral and the hoohaas that happened.

Amazing Grace.
