I just got my A Level results on Wednesday. I checked the results online. As usual, feeling very excited, scared and worried at the same time. My feelings were all mixed up till I didn't know what to feel. I hated that feeling, it made me want to vomit . It made me uncomfortable. I was not sure the exact time the results were out.
Then on Wednesday morning, after having breakfast with mum at the coffee shop, my friend, Swee Chin sms me. She told me results were out. And there goes, my heart beats even faster and faster, I quickly went into the website entering my user name and password. Before I pressed 'enter' , I walked up and down for a few times. I told myself no matter what, I still have to find out, sooner or later and just accept what I got.
Then, I logged in. *DUMMM*, my results were on the screen. I was relieved. I was happy. I was grateful. I never expected too much though. A Level was tough for me. It was not easy I can now tell you. It is easy to pass but difficult to score. I did not get straight A's but I'm happy with what I got. It was not something to be proud of. I did okay. The subjects I wanted to get A, I managed to :) I got a 'B' for my Physics. Ya man!! That's already good for me, I didn't quite like Physics. It is just so technical and at times, I don't really get those theories and stuffs. I felt like giving up after getting my AS level results, but fortunately, I retake the whole 5 papers again. Whee :) OK, enough of that.
What have I learned this 1.5 years? Besides understanding science subjects better compared to high school where I usually play around, I learned that one should never give up. Determination is what drives me up :) We will not know what the future beholds. So yea, have faith.
And yes, I'm starting off my degree course soon. After CNY. I'm looking forward....

True Love Never Fails
I was reading the March 2008 Reader's Digest just last night before I went to bed. Flipping through pages after pages, I looked for titles that actually attracted me. Then, this article entitled 'An Unbreakable Bond' caught my eyes.
In short, this story brings about a lady and a man who were meant to be together right from the beginning even though there were so many obstacles between them. It was not an ordinary love story I shall remind you. There was more to it.
It revolves 2 orphans who met in a children's home in Sunderland, UK. The boy, Alan Brogan was only four when he was put in the orphanage. His mother died of cervical cancer and his father could not cope anymore. Discipline was harsh in the orphanage. Then one day, a girl called Irene was led in the orphanage. At that time, Alan was seven. He felt he had known this person all his life. *wow*. Irene was nine and her mother died of tuberculosis and her father had become an alcoholic. Friendship grew deeper between them. The staff in the orphanage did everything to keep the sexes apart. The both had fun playing with each other. Then one day, Alan asked, "When we get older, will you marry me, Irene?" ..... "Yes, of course," she replied. "But you'll have to wait a fair bit"
And, one day while the two was playing and chasing each other, Alan and Irene collapsed into a tickling match. They were in serious trouble as mention earlier, discipline was tight. Alan was taken to another children's home on the other side of Sunderland. He was sad and had many questions in his mind. He had to get back to let Irene know that he hadn't abandoned her.
Eventually, Alan finished schooling and began working. He did search for Irene. However he realised he had no way to trace her. They had never known each other's surnames. Alan then got married at 28 but his marriage failed after 7 years. He didn't want to have kids. Later, he met another lady. One day, she told Alan, "There's a woman who works there (gym) who grew up in a children's home." And her name was Irene. Such an coincidence? Is she the Irene he was looking for all this while? Alan and Irene did met and had little conversation but that was it.
Alan and the lady later broke off. Irene did get married and had 2 children with Robert, a miner. But after 7 years, their marriage failed too. She drifted through other relationships but never found security. Things moved on for while. Irene wanted to tell Alan that she had always loved him but was afraid that time she might harm his relationship with ' the lady'. But later she found out that 'the lady' had passed away and that Alan had moved to Scotland. Irene had try moving on and dated other men but later she decided, If I can't have Alan. I don't want another relationship.
One sunny day on May 10, 2004, Irene was walking down a street after workout at a gym with her friend, she saw a familiar figure. She called to Alan and suddenly they were in each other's arms. Alan explained to Irene's friend, "This is the lady I loved all my life." * Awww*
They met for a dinner and had be talking about what had been happening in each other lives in the last 44 years.
Then this was what happened...
"Maybe it would be easier in future if we had all our dinners together," Alan suggested
Alan proposed formally on a beach in December 2004.
"Yes, yes!" Irene shouted.
" I said you would have to wait a fair bit," she told him.
"It was worth it," he replied.
That was how it went.....
When I read this article, it sounds rather like a fairy-tale to me. Is this story true? But then, it was published in Reader's Digest. Where can things just drop in place so easily? So, I had to believe it. I mean yeah, I always believe that True Love Never Fails. Just have faith in it.
P.s, I wrote the story a little messy-lar. You have to read the original article.
Signing off,

A year has gone.
The year 2008 has been a great year to me.
I've done things I haven't done before.
I learned things I never knew before.
I met people whom I haven't seen before.
I've been to places I haven't heard before.
All these has been a great experience to me. I'm learning each day and I hope that I will be able to learn and experience much more things in life. Life is so damn short. It's always now or never. And to the people around me, thanks for all the memories we shared.
Lastly, my wish to all :)

Bored.
Guess this is what I do when I'm bored. Sit in front of the computer doing almost nothing except at times to clear some stuffs. I don't plan to work because my results will be out in January next year which is real soon, and then I planned to start of with my course. No more wasting time. No more! I rested enough already. Haha. The more I rest, the more lazy I will be. Oh ya, just sitting here I realised how close is it to start off a new year. I'm happy and looking forward to what comes ahead. There are actually a few things that I want to accomplish in the year 2009. To climb Mount Kinabalu is probably one of them right now. I actually saw some old men and even old ladies who successfully climb the mountain. How they managed to? That was a suprise to me. It was! All this while I thought, only people who are in their 20s or 30s or 40s climb but I was wrong. I salute them for their determination. It is not easy although it seems to look as it is. Then I thought to my self, if they can do it, why not me? Even, Kenny Sia had climbed already. If I can't do it in the year 09' then I shall wait for the years ahead.
Moving on, just a rondom shot of me and Wai Han.
This picture was taken a month ago I think. We LOVE our teeth. Definitely! Thank you Mum for forcing us to brush our teeth when we were young. :)

My Vacation (Part 3)
This is the streets in Kota Kinabalu(city) at night.Day 5
My mum.
My dad.
The pink gang?
Tanjung Aru beach.
Say cheeze!!!
That's the spoon to scoop the coconut flesh. Innovative.
It's all about coconut. We looked tired.I did enjoy myself. Indeed, it was a great experience visiting Sabah although most of us fell sick during the trip and had tummy-upset. I did not buy back anything except a simple bangle. Something like that. Friends, if you like the nature rather than shopping, Sabah is the place to be. There are jungles and islands. So, anyone, Sabah?
That's all :) These pictures tell it all. As it is, a picture tells a thousand word. So, yeah.
Happy reading.

My Vacation (Part 2)
Day 3
This is Mount Kinabalu. We were pretty lucky to get a chance to look at the peak because usually, in the month of December the clouds would be thick. And, we had to wake up around
This is Mount Kinabalu. We were pretty lucky to get a chance to look at the peak because usually, in the month of December the clouds would be thick. And, we had to wake up around6.00 am. Its bright there at 6.
This is a chimney!
Some parts of the peak of Mount Kinabalu. Apparently, at different angles you see different shapes. Which other mountains in Malaysia do you see its peak which is rocky? Tell me :)
A family portrait. Nice weather. Cooling but not freezing.
I don't know what plant is this called. This place is known as Rose Garden.
Just having fun.
At the Crocodile Farm. Oh oh.. I saw hunch-back crocodiles. But, I don't think we took any pictures. Very 'kesian' when you actually see them.
My favourite picture. I forgot the name of this bridge. Mini SanFransico bridge. It really does look something like that.
Day 4
This is Gaya Street. Some people call this place Sunday market. Something like KL's Petaling Street. Very crowded on that day.
Unique right? This picture was taken in the wildlife park.
Clever orangutan. Her name is Marsha. She was actually donated by a person who kept her as a pet.
This is Mowgli. He is only the male orangutan among the others. How lucky :)
