A special thank you to the uncle who helped us as he was eavesdropping on us and decided to help us! XD

1st Starbucks of 2011

My love for coffee(ok, more to Starbucks) is NO SECRET.
I think I did some people a lot of good by introducing aWESome drinks from Starbucks XD
To be honest, Starbucks helped me a lot in destressing(is that even a word?) during exam periods
And no, unlike other people who couldn't sleep after coffee, I'm the exact opposite
I sleep well~ after a coffee break ^^V

So, I tweeted bout my cravings for Starbucks' GTL and VSL and LizLynn asked whether it's nice.
And I actually told her 'I love anything that comes from Starbucks' *bias alert!*
Next, Vikram asked me to recommend something from Starbucks and I did.
The fact that he loves my recommendation earns me a plus point XD
Lastly, Yvonne had her FIRST Starbucks's Iced Signature Hot Chocolate with me
which I also recommended to her
She LOVES it!
HA! Just admit that I'm THAT good to be a Starbucks ambassador LOL! *self-praise*

from top to bottom: Caramel Macchiato, Green Tea Latte, Iced Signature Hot Chocolate

note: GTL = Green Tea Latte / VSL = Vanilla Soy Latte

2011 Resolution

1) Give more than taking

2) Good Gradess

3) Write more(blogging/writing fiction)

4) Be a better person

---

2010 haven't been good to me and I'm pretty sure I haven't been good in 2010 as well
So, I hope 2011, things will be better. Lessen the sorrow and drama. Increase the joy and fantasies.
May everyone have a good year ahead! ^^

Black Parade

I would like to dedicate this post to my schoolmate, Bridget Maureen.

She's a passerby during my schooling days. We exchange smiles occasionally in school but rarely talk or maybe even never.
But when I received the shocking news today, I was saddened by it.
When I attended her funeral with few of my friends, listening stories that her aunt share, I felt the pain.
It was then when I realized, it's not easy fighting for your life, you can only pray and thank God for another tomorrow.
The memories shared will always be remembered.
I'm glad she went through her favourite days (20th birthday and Christmas) with a smile.
Even though it's hard, but she made it through.
It's one of the most unexpected moment when God choose to bring you to His side.
I can only conclude that it's probably for the best.
I pray you'll rest in peace and reincarnate into a better person with a better life ahead.
I shamelessly say, I may not know you well in person but you'll be a friend whom I remember every now and then.

Amusing Eavesdropping Session

I was on the ferry this evening and I heard an amusing conversation between an Indian boy(approximately 6/7years old) with a Chinese auntie.
Please note that the conversation is in Hokkien.

Indian Boy: The toilet is full! T_T
Chinese Auntie: Then go to the other one, there's two right?
Indian Boy: It's the girl's toilet!
Chinese Auntie *laughs* really?
Indian Boy: Yes! I cannot go in. Do you think this is your house toilet? *in a joking manner*
Chinese Auntie: So, what's your surname?
Indian Boy: It's Huang
Chinese Auntie: *shocked* Huang?
Indian Boy: Yes. Huang as in yellow (he actually meant his surname is actually written like the chinese character 'yellow')
Chinese Auntie: Oh... So, what about your father? What is his surname?
Indian Boy: Huang la~
Chinese Auntie: Your father?
Indian Boy: Yes. Huang (emphasizing it as if the auntie sounded ridiculous)
Chinese Auntie: Oh...

So I walked off after that because I didn't want to get cramped in a sea of people when you want to get down through the escalator. So, based on the conversation, I can only assume that this Indian Boy is either adopted or he learnt Chinese since young. But based on his fluent Hokkien, I can only conclude that he's adopted (according to my perception).

I want to share this conversation is because I find it amusing that this child knows no boundaries in friendship/relationship. He didn't think he is much different from his father(who is a Chinese) when this auntie finds it shocking that this boy shares the same surname as his father, who thinks that the father of this boy is an Indian like him. I believe that children are easily nurtured when young to learn things and they learn things from observation and conversations. Parents play an essential role in their growth. This Indian boy may not know these cultural and skin colour differences because to him, we are Malaysian, One! But to an adult, we separate these differences and make it into a BIG issue! I find it rather childish for adults acting the way they are and ironically supporting the One Malaysia propaganda. I think it's time we look back onto these children and learn from them instead of arguing of matters like a CHILD.
