One of the...

I know it's been a week since my last post. Things have gotten very busy in our little studio and house this last week.

My brain is full of ideas, plan, strategies, schedules. My thoughts are swirling with reminders and to-dos. Time is getting tighter.

But I still have a tremendous week. I hope to jot down every bit of the happy moments, there are fairly normal, it's just part of Jess's life but it's all my precious moments.

In the midst of our daily hustle and bustle, our flurry of daily activities, rushing here and there, we see LIFE. As it is. Steady and continuous. Ongoing and faithful. Unaffected by us.


One of the Sweet Sunday

My beloved cousin sis have visited us on last Sunday. She's doing her third year in dentist and having her holidays now.

Omg my little sis has become prettier and more gorgeous! *Woohoo*

This afternoon we ate some awesome Indonesian food at Bangsar. I love this restaurant, because it's cheap and cheerful kind. They are crowded, and the food is affordable and just excellent.

We had the most famous banana leaves rice and shared Indonesian curry chicken, fried sotong (fried squid). Ah, I was so hungry and forgot to photograph the food.

Then we headed to the newly opened Bangsar Village.

At Bangsar Village~

Leng met her senior in the market. She's selling some unique and absolutely adorable stickers.

Bangsar Shopping Centre is our next stop for shopping, we really found some nice and pretty cloths in the flea market at really low price!~ ^^

Then we had a wonderful and totally satisfied dinner at my favorite Korean restaurant in Sri Hartamas.





My most favorite Kimchi Soup~ *thumbs up*

Absolutely delicious!

BEFORE

AFTER

We still have third round after dinner, last shopping at Mid Valley.

Really glad to see my pretty sis after all these years. I had a greatest weekend because of you dear, thanks~ =)


One of the Sizzling Hot Night

Having great time at Murni, the well known mamak stall at SS2 during the weekday after work.

Tired but happy~

Sizzling Chicken special~ *yummy*


One of the Lovely Morning

Jogging at Taman Bukit Jalil with parents early in the morning.

mummy~


One of the Happy Saturday

The kids were doing the drama of "Ke Ren Lai" during the class. A traditional and well known Malaysia children song.

"Ke ren lai, Kan Baba,
Baba bu zhai jia,
Wo qin ke ren xian zhuo xia,
Zai jin yi bei cha."

Do you still remember? It's one of my favorite song when I was little. =)




Cute ones~


One of the Hard Day



I've been practicing hard my violin today. I worked on Kreutser no. 34, which is a good way to insult yourself if you haven't worked on it lately. I played it for almost an hour. It can torture the fingers, but it's good for me.

It's also a very useful in distracting you from your problems, because you can't even think about them while you're playing it. Kind of like skiing: you keep your mind totally on what you're doing and give your mental problems a rest. You keep doing it till you get convinced.

After all, I felt better.


One of the Yummy Afternoon

We had Domino Pizzas with the teachers during one of the noon.

16 inches delicious Seafood Manhattan pizzas. *yummy~*

We love domino pizzas!


One of the Wonderful Morning

Second visit to babe eve house, remember I was mentioned in my early post that the wallpaper in her living hall are going to change?

Here, the new one looks similar to LV logo, what do you think? Is it better?


And I just love their garden so much~


I found my moment.

my heart is glad, and...
my flesh also will rest in hope.

PSALM 16:9

I heart Olivia Ong

Hiya~ a gorgeous Sunday morning!~

Something I'd like to share today.



Ths is my most favorite among all songs. It always touches my heart and soul every time whenever I heard it.

And this girl has performed it wonderfully.

Olivia Ong, she's actually a Singaporean. She won a singing contest and was signed to a Japanese recording company at only 15. And release her best selling album AGMBN when she's at only 19. Now she's 22. Young, pretty and talented. Check out her album - AGMBS and AGMBN 2. (AGMBN- A Girls Meets Bossanova)

I'm totally fall in love with her sultry, soulful, pristine and innocent vocals. Listening and looking for her albums since last year. And now I'm still listening to her Jazz most of the time.

But this previous album is my favorites among all.



Love the oldies and her voice so much!

Okay, hope you enjoy it, time to go to Church.

May everyone has a wonderful lovely Sunday~ =D

Beijing Olympic 2008

Really love the cute Fuwa very much, check out their names:
"Bei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying, and Nini" .
"Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni" in chinese means "Beijing Welcome You!"

How thoughtful and lovely~ ^^

08/08/08

It's 8:10pm now, and I'm here sitting at my studio.

I'm dying of anticipation for this day... yet can't watch the grand opening of Beijing Olympic T.T

I've missed something important in my life T.T

Arghhhhhh....

Dad was calling to tell how grand is the opening T.T

Parents and students are talking about it right now, everbody is rushing home to watch it. Lots of them are absent too.

And me...still here...

*sniff sniff*

Just like old times

Karaoke-section with Babe Eve during happy hours.

I can't believe I've never been singing for more than 3 months!

Such a lovely day for relaxation, comes perfectly with a cup of Baskin Robbins~ *big grin*

Moments

Today I had a wonderful evening. Having great time with my two beloved doggies at the park near by.

Mi and Bean~

Hop hop hop~ ^^

*Wink*

Moments after playing, looks like they are ready for more fun~ ^^

Mi was actually adopted by dad from his friend during the beginning of this year. But we really treat Bean as she's like part of our family. It's hard to tell how deep is my love to her and her to mine, we just couldn't live without each other.

I remember the only love at first sight in my lifetime was when I first met her in the pet shop.

I remember how much we have been walked through these years.

I remember she's the one who always be there for me, no matter good or bad, she always has her way to cheer me up.

She's my best companion.

Sometimes we swear that she could understand what we are saying.

Easily is the happiest dog~

Golden in the house! ^^

Ever present Joy~

She is one of the most precious in my life. Since here when she's two months old till now going to be 6 years.

And taught me what really matters in life.

思念的滋味

寂寞的感觉有点像思念， 无法说与人听。

寂寞有甜也有苦。 我不是个很害怕寂寞的人。 从小就独自一个人， 本来就要耐得住寂寞， 没有寂寞和孤单就没法造就今天独立的我。 这样的寂寞是一种甜蜜的独处。

然而，要是你耐不住寂寞， 没有一个在独处之后可以相聚的人， 那样的寂寞便是苦的。

思念也和寂寞一样， 即甜也苦。

你有多爱一个人， 看你有多么思念一个人。你有多么思念一个人， 就有多么爱他。思念没法量度， 它是一种滋味。 苦涩的时候，你跟自己说：

“我再也不要那样思念一个人了！”

甜蜜的时候，你却又跟自己说：

“有一个可以思念的人， 原来是那么幸福的。”

寂寞是没有尽头的， 思念却有。

到了那一天， 你赫然发现， 你没那么思念那个离你越来越遥远的人了。

直到许多许多年后， 你想起思念的滋味， 它多么像一首歌， 某一段漫长的日子里， 你每天都要听到它， 后来有一天， 你却连歌名都想不起来了，只记得当时那种萦绕心头的滋味。

我们都是思念的动物。 放出去的思念有时候收不回来， 泛滥成湖。 有时候不想收回来却又已经看到湖水退去之后那一片荒芜的青苔。

时光飞逝， 回首就像昨天， 我突然想起我曾经多么喜欢那首唱出寂寞的歌， 也曾经多么想念那种思念一个人的滋味。

那种滋味在我心中苦苦勾留过。

Personal Goals- August 2008

It's the eighth month of the year already!

1) Learn to cook
I'm trying to have better diets lately. Lesser outside food which means I need to cook more often. Cooking is totally fun to me, unfortunately I don't have many opportunities to cook. Simply because I have a very good cook at home, my daddy. My mum can cook very well either. I'd like to master most of the dishes before I get marry. Too soon to think of? *giggles*

2) Improve My Fitness.

I'm swimming twice a week.
Climbing once a week.
And running 3 times a week.

I FEEL SO GOOD.

Hopefully I'll be committing to doing it more often as well as running every morning, swimming 3 times and climbing 2 times a week, soon.

3) Snack Properly!
All these exercise really make me HUNGRY! And I've been snacking like crazy! Sometimes I'm so hungry that I don't care what I eat - because I NEED FOOD NOW!! So I've been trying to eat proper healthy snacks at set times. Which is tricky, because I'm quite particular with my snacks. Thanks to mum who bought me some real delicious snacks on the other day. Sea weed crackers, dried apricots & dried apples, pistachios.. *lovely*

Does anyone have any better snacking suggestions?

4) Get more sleep
For the last few weeks, I've been getting to bed almost by 2~4am and get up by 8am. Trying my best to get to bed earlier.

5) PLAY with my dogs
I know this sounds a bit weird. But one of the most joyful moments are playing and running with dogs. Yet most days I am so absorbed with doing errands and running my business, that I forget to stop and have fun with my doggies. So I’m determined to enjoy more with my love pets while they're still along my side.

This month I need to focus on few things :

~TO RELAX. I have been very tense these last few weeks. I have got a lot on my plate. Can’t seem to wade through the to-do’s in a graceful manner.

I might getting all stressed out about trying NOT to be stressed!

~I have to learn the art of prioritizing.

~The student's examinations were just over. And now we are in the midst of preparing the year end annual concert.

Hmmm....what is your goal for this month?

Lunch after Church

I have got very delicious dried curry mee for lunch on Sunday. It's at a newly open store in Endah Parade.

Hmmmm...simply delicious!

Finally

Yea, finally we could have dinner together! *heart*

*smile*
Oh~ my prettiest girl, babe Eve~ ^^

We went to SOULed OUT Cafe & Bar located at Sri Hartamas, Damansara. It's been 2 years since my last dined here. The Bar has renovated last year, environment was beautiful, service was good, food were absolutely delicious. I was actually pretty amazed by the crowd even though it's weekday night. It's all full for both upper and lower floor. *wide eyes*

We were there almost 3 hours. Talking, laughing, eating, drinking.

Babe Eve's main course, Chicken Ala Kiev.

Fried Calamari, it's recommended by the chef, must try!

My Cabonara with Fettuccines, it's my favorite~ Oppsss, too many favorites =p *grin*



Haagen Daaz!!! My love ^^

After dinner, I've make my first visit to babe Eve's new house. Oh dear, it's beautiful! Love the quiet and chilling housing area very much. I just manage to take a few photos, hope to capture more during the next visit. *grin*

The dinning area

The living hall. My personally thought that the wallpaper was cool and outstanding but unfortunately Eve's dad doesn't like it, so they're going to change soon..


Babe eve: "Mm...Coke is the best drink in the world!"

Ah, it was such a great night out! *BLISS*

A Letter To Babe Eve

Dear Babe Eve,

It's been 3 months since I last met you. I was busy with works, occasions and everything.. And you were busy with your examinations, holidays, new house, and of course your grandpa's sickness.

But we still keep in touch closely. As we get to hugged each other finally makes me feels like a million dollars fell from the sky. It's that happy to see you that night but in other hand it's rather sad too in that circumstances.

Life is short and fragile. I remembered I met your grandpa during Chinese New Year this year. He looks just as healthy as he could be, like a normal and happy old man.

Dear, I know how hard is all this about.

I knew you understand that he had relief from his pain and suffering, and rest peacefully now in a better place.

I knew you gonna miss him terribly, time might fade away the pain but not your grandpa in your heart. You've handled everything well, strong enough, I'm proud of you.

Life goes on and we should appreciate every single bit of life, everyone that you love, as I said we will never know when will be the last day and when your love ones might leave you.

I love you dear, you are one of the best thing I have in my life too. Thanks for coming into babe jess's life. You have no idea how important you meant to me. Take care much, I want you to live happily ever, ever after.

**Hugssss**

Love now and always
Jess
