i finally saw joyjoy!
and she's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!spending time with the cousins was really nice. it's so fun to just laugh at the silly antics, cold jokes and enjoy each other's company. brother paul's wants me to teach joyjoy piano the next time round when they return in august - which really, is the most ridiculous thought, since by then, joyjoy would only be...
nine months old.
*faints*
but nana-jie's really setting a certain benchmark in this whole giving birth thing.
she actually gave birth without epidural! this got the older folks saying, if nana-jie, who's so small-sized, and small-built could give birth without epidural, the rest of us would have no problems at all.
sometimes i think their words really never make much sense.
these are the people who have always said that we (their own children) cannot
tahan pain, and now the
same people are saying that we can survive without epidurals, when we all already know that giving birth's the worst pain any woman can ever experience (physically).
this weird family of mine. i don't know what's on their minds sometimes.

its so nice to have the family back, with my mother, brother paul, nana-jie and joyjoy returning from china. i'm looking forward to meeting them all (not that i need to delibrately "meet" my mother, since she stays with me), and just spending good time together.
always knew that joyjoy's presence is a blessing from God, and you can read it all in nana-jie's testimonial
here.
that said, there's a lot happening these few days, but if you really want a summary, it's shopping, shopping, shopping.
but gotta take care of the wallets now. i'm going broke real soon.

nurul and i were classmates back in townsville, and it was sheer coincidence that we bumped into each other three weeks ago. i had been hoping for a night where i could grab her out, and we finally met for dinner last night.
i'm so glad we did. it was so nice to joke, laugh, and reminisce. and boy, were those the times of our lives!
6A'97 probably was the most famous class back then. we had the
happening teachers, the biggest class enrolment (44), the whole class would be involved in teacher's day, children's day, national day, and whatever creative aspects/performing segments the school's organising. going for s.t.e.p classes at night was fun because we rejoiced in the
luxury of wearing slippers for lessons, going to the washrooms was (always) a big class excursion because everyone would race there together, with the boys scaring the girls because of their stories of some toilet monsters, then everyone would race back to the classroom (like elephants - given the volume we produce when 40 children run together) because the last one would have to face the toilet monster herself.
and all these reminiscing's made me missed the teachers back there, and we're both hoping for a chance to meet up with the teachers soon before she heads off to sydney for an overseas exchange program. so now, we're making some arrangements, and hoping for a chance to surprise the teachers (and perhaps, even ourselves too!).
how time flies really. has it been 10 years already?

this is my 250th entry, can you believe it?
if there's supposed to be a landmark of sorts for the quarter-to-a-thousand entry, then this should be
the entry to remember.
i'm beginning to realise that emotions are just thoughts that are self-inflicted and placed upon yourself most of the time. i
decide if i should be happy, i
decide if i will be hurt.
and since i'm such an emotional junkie, there's a greater need to cover up, and make sure that the walls around my emotions are guarded safely against any (unwanted) outpouring that might trigger unhappiness that was never intended (for) in the first place.
after all, don't we always say
"don't dwell in your misery", and not
"don't dwell in his/hers/their misery"? many a times, words that are said never meant to hurt. yet they still do more than just a slight pinch, because of the implications and unspoken words that were brought forth by self.
so in that sense, people don't hurt us.
we hurt ourselves.

joy(ous)!

maybe the new year will officially begin on february for me.
you know how the year begins and how people seem determined to
start things afresh? i never got that feeling until two days ago, when i looked around my life and realise that there's a need to make some necessary changes.
so here's my new year's resolutions:
- thou shall not complain (so much) anymore
- thou shall save more money
- thou shall blog more often (for the sake of all those people who're going overseas)
- thou shall (try) sleeping more
- thou shall learn to be more detached from the gossips of the world
there. i've said it.
