It's Dec..


Wow..x mas is just around the corner and Im really vy vy bc recently.I have not been updating my blog for quite some times (since Deepavaili..my gosh @.@).. what a breathless Dec and really dun have time or energy to think of what to write.Sleep is what I could think of all the time.. haha.. Somemore the weather nowadays is so bad where it was so hard to prevent myself from falling sick; So many important things to be done for the previous weeks and Thank God that I succeeded in fighting with all the sickness through supplements, herbs for the past few weeks.. Competition, audition, they're all over finally.. =P

Wanna share about the competition that I went in sabah 2 weeks ago. It was a tight and hectic one. 3 hours flight to Tawau, exhausted and hungry when I got down from the plane. Thank God that our fren's mum prepared nice food for our supper.Love the Siu Mai made by his mum for lunch the nx day as well.Arh.. miss the super nice food badly.. XD

Ac I have quite a long story to tell about the competition, but gonna cut it short coz not much energy left for blogging. Haha.My brain gets blank easily.So I better type faster before I miss out any important thing. Im so thankful(of all I can say) coz I managed to go through the hectic schedule with almost falling sick condition.The first night of the competition (Semi-Final)was so so so so (x10000000000 times) long coz I got no. 18 out of 20 participants.Nervous, helpless..dunno how to describe my feeling for tat time.Even though my friends were joking, chatting there, I remained cool. I didn't Ban Cool, just din have the mood to share I guess. It was hard to make a smile on my face.. sigh..

I dunno what I was thinking n that kinda feeling seemed like tearing me into parts.. Hou scared ar.. ok, so mayb some ppl re wondering what is so scary oh, go on stage and sing only mar.. what is so difficult. Even though tat time I also trying to console myself this way but I still felt vy helpless. Used to pray before the competition and harder before my turn to sing on stage. But somehow I was still feeling vy helpless..Minutes before I got onto the stage, I suddenly felt peace in my heart, it's like I din feel I was alone anymore. I really forgot how I got through this and the outcome was better than wat I expected. Again, this kinda feeling was just the same like few months ago, I just couldn't believe I'd gone through this. Yet what I believing is HE'S REALLY GREATTT!

I managed to get into final and I knew that it was not easy to win as lotsa great singers in the competition.Nth much to think about and I just told myself what I have to do is dun stop believing and just sing like the way my teacher taught me. Since HE had led me to this stage, I believed that HE will lead me further.But I somehow felt nervous before my turn to sing. Haha. When I was preparing at backstage, thank God for sending an angel and when she passed by me, she said: God be with u. She is a sis from Sarawak who sat nx to me on the bus. That moment, my tears nearly come out, it was so.......Besides, I believed that HE had also sent many angels to give me comments on my singing, support, care.. etc..  we struggled, we got nervous together, we encouraged each other.It was really a vy good experience I would say. Also, not to forget Sir's guidance all the while, kept on reminding myself to just express and sing like the way he taught me, really thank him for evything.. :)

So this is the end of the competition story. Haha. Oh before I forget, I just got consolation prize in the competition but I got sth worth more than prize I guess. Sometimes in life, the road is not that easy to walk through. We feel helpless, we complained, we struggled.. We step forward without any direction, we feel scared,unsure where to go. HE didn't promise that ur road will always be smooth, but HE promised us he will never leave. There's always a light that guide when u re willing to open your heart. Peace is always there.The process itself will be a memorable one as when u fell again u know how to get up by urself.

Aiks..couldn't stop myself from being so long winded. lol. In fact I love to blog about things happening in my life,but I prefer to share the GRACE that I encountered in my life.I hope I would never forget the title of my blog: "The Window of Grace" when it's translated from Chinese.=P and never go out of topic.

So before I end this blogpost, I wish evyone a Merry and Blessed X mas & a Happy New year!! If u have any question/curiosity etc, feel free to email me. Btw it was not the end of the whole story, and let the photos tell u the rest of it. Take care. :)

It's Time for A Change!


What a lovely Sun, woke up early as usual. Had Asam Laksa as breakfast for the morning, it's just wonderful. When I was driving home, some inspirations just came across my mind, and I hope I wun bore u when I blog about this. =P

Ok,when I look at myself lately, I have this thought that Im ac locking myself in a square box.Though there's up and down in life, but after solving all the matters, I usually go back to the box again.Im 23,look back to the years I've walked through,I would say I was most active in the primary school,I could simply grab all the chances, works and fight on them. Secondary school still ok but when come to Uni, I somehow felt that I was ac slowing down my pace. Wat a sad thing :(

Probably becoz I'd become one of the modern world trend followers.I believe some trends n its influence have their advantages n drawbacks. But more importantly, we must draw a limit inside us so we wun be over doing it. In real life, mayb we are just too concern about beauty, wealth, food, drinks etc.. anything that satisfy ourselves easily but never fulfill the true needs inside us. And it goes as easy as it comes also.In short,we spend most of the time to achieve the standard of the world.Sometimes I feel like I live like this becoz other ppl are living like that as well.So why do I bother to change?

In fact, it's bored and it never satisfy my inner needs.I dunno whether U have this kinda feeling before,it happened once when I removed my make up,I could feel the emptiness when I saw myself so "NAKED" in front of the mirror. Moment ago I was still Syok-ing on the make up,coz make up always make girls look nicer right.Yet after removing it I found that Im still an ordinary girl.

Back to the topic, few years ago I still felt that I was quite young when I first stepped into Uni, but not anymore now. Im soon turning 24,25,26,27.. arh.. my 30's will be approaching.. haha..And wat have I done?? I know mayb Im just scaring myself too early in this stage, but let me tell u,time just passes evyday like nobody business within the 24 hours without u realizing it. Certain thing is just in right timing for us to do when we re still physically and mentally healthy. So what's nx Im going to do?? 

Yes I need a change. First, I certainly need to change my heart n mind. Secondly,be more daring to try out new things (good things always!=P).Thirdly, be more humble in learning. I think to work on these 3 things I definitely need alot of determination, self-motivation, self-control and strength.

Another thing to share is about the accident happened in Melaka on 10/10/10 which evyone supposed a good day.Yet tragedy happened.Frankly speaking no one expected this to happen as I was shocked when I knew my fren was one of the victims. Thank God he's fine, just some minor injuries on head and face. Life is just way too fragile than u and I can understand. From the moment we re born, mayb sth is destined or created before we exist but for the living ppl like us, we should really appreciate our loved-one around us, utilize our time for meaningful stuff, and more importantly, to ac know wat U re believing in. As I always remind myself: Miracles happen to those who believe.    

This blog post looks rather like a New Year's resolution.Haha. In fact New Year is not far from now.Take this 2 months time to think about a change for urself!(if you need to)

Irrelevant to the things I've blogged above, I seriously need one Dark Mocha Frappuccino for this lovely Sun again!! :P Take care evyone...

(p/s: These re just some of my personal thoughts, U dun have to agree about it. But I do hope it somehow reminds U and I to have some changes in lives! =P)

10/10/10


对,华语台转回来了。哈~~ 今天是10/10/10,一生人只有一次,也只会出现在这个blog那么一次~~要好好珍惜这个机会呢!可能很多人都认为这是个特别的节日吧,不过对于我好像没什么特别,比平时懒了些,又吃又睡。不知道为什么可能受某些人影响我也不是很在乎一些节日了,好像心有点灰似的。因为有时候期望越高,失望越大。我觉得自己好像越来越不像自己,我不知道是不是好事,可是我真的很想有那么一天就只做自己想做的事(肯定是合法的事!),不必顾虑那么多,就那么一天就够了!或许下一个 11/11/11我可以做到?! 


做么好像越讲越悲@.@~~哈哈。ok今天这么有历史性的一天我应该让自己happy一下。也觉得是时候调整一下自己,也为自己打算一下。我不能再虚度日子,太舒服于现况了。我要突破!!
而且趁年青要更勇于尝试~~HARRRR!!

话说回来,周末又将要到尾声了,自己和朋友去"趣台北"吃了一顿,东西不是说特别好吃,再加上我叫的鲁肉面就好像今天午餐的古晋干捞面,汗!!有一点Geli,还是把食物往肚子吞,不过总算有一点点满足了我的食欲,有一点点happy的感觉,下次真的要问清楚才好叫。顺便也拍了些照片,不过我手机里的相机很烂,paiseh.. =.=。 

是不是很像sarawak的干捞面?+.+

朋友吃的面线,还不错哦~~

虽然没有特别庆祝这一天,不过吃了这餐,总算给自己在10/10/10的一个鼓励。好吧,期待下个11/11/11,希望到时的我会不一样,如果这个blog,我是说“如果”还存在,就可以再update啦。在这一天10/10/10如果你立定心志要做什么就要坚持到底,要有“小强”打不死的精神,因为我相信往往会成功的人都有着一份出众的毅力与坚持!更重要的是信念,搞清楚你相信的是谁,是信仰呢?自己呢?别人呢?有无数的可能。


最后少不了饭后零食,我最爱的紫菜...吃不完还可以把包装袋zip起来,超方便! =P 晚安。

My Working Life


     I've been officially working for almost 5 months, like ppl usually say: Study is better than working, in fact it's true =.= Also it's really WAN SIK GAN NAN (in cantonese), got to undergo diff challenges and pressure. When I was studying, I got less thing to worry about especially on money matters. But there're many music teachers like some of my seniors are ac earning big money just purely teaching. Mayb I just need more time to develop my career and my NAME?? hehe..  Otherwise my working time is quite flexible as I dun have a fixed schedule for the moment. =P So when ppl ask: Are u working full time? I dunno how to answer them. haha.. coz Im not working within opis hours like other ppl do. So perhaps it's half full half part..zzz.. pray hard I will have more students soon, so that my income will be more stable. (stable= more money to spend?! XD
         
      Btw I rarely got Monday Blue, but worst thing is I got SAT BLUE! sigh.. I need to work from 9am-6pm, sometimes 7pm. Imagine when u re shopping, hanging out with frens,watching movies, Im ac yelling at my students: Why u never practise at home? How many times I need to tell u to count! Where's ur book!? Pls open ur mouth and sing etc..Students nowadays behave way too diff compared to children of my days,and they can actually create tans of excuses to cover their laziness..again wan sik gan nan.. YAN! (忍) and bad thing is some students are not scoldable else the teacher has to bear the consequence.. zzz.. so always wish I got students with considerate parents! haha.. Yet Im still thankful that I got to do what I like as my job, coz I ac learn a lot through teaching and know diff skills to deal with diff students as they all come to my class in diff "Pattern". If u re having a job, be grateful coz lotsa ppl out there are jobless. Well, still pray that I could have more endurance and passion on my work! =P

       Hmm.. I dun have any nice updated pics but some instant pics taken for my fren.Thank her for the free sample lens n I got her some pics in return..=P She's running cosmetic lens business and currently a boss with her own opis! Impressed with her determination and innovation.Same age with me nia, so Keng! Lenglui juga XD
Here goes the pics..
Taken after outing..(wearing dark purple color lens)
Taken after housework..plus the instant make up. =.=
(wearing green color lens, abit macam snake =.=")
Lastly, wish evyone trying the vy best to enjoy working life, let's work hard for a better tmr!! Cheers~~

中秋节快乐



     端午节好像才过不久,现在已经是中秋节了。很可惜,从念大学开始就再没有回乡过中秋节的机会。也不知道为什么,中秋节往往都是坐落在周日的,唉,今年的中秋又是在异乡度过。前阵子回家,妈已经在为烘烤月饼忙,她做月饼已经有好多年了,印像中大概在我小学时她就已经开始研究做月饼了。都那么多年了,虽然没有亲自动手但每个步骤我还略懂,不过细节真的完全不懂,因为光看只是一粒圆饼,背后花的功夫可是不少的!她说有一天要传授这门功夫给我,可是我好像没有这一方面的天分,因为通常我只会吃,汗...哈哈。现在可能我只算是有少过半桶水的功夫,不过我也懂某些步骤的叻,如拨莲子啦,总之是比较senang的我都会!哈哈~~ 

      看到妈这么用心在做月饼,忍不住拍了些照片,我告诉她我要放上blog的,她很紧张说:等下人家问你怎样做月饼,你会不会回答的。我说:不用回答的啦,只是放上去而已嘛,应该没有人会问的。首次把她的佳作放在这里,想与大家分享做月饼的乐趣,可能真的很多人都不懂到底月饼是怎样烘成的。
浸在水中的莲子,还没拨心的。莲子可是煮馅料的最主要材料之一。

把莲子的心拔出来,我也有份帮忙的!哈~
已经去心的莲子


饼皮的材料。要做到“皮薄馅靓”不是开玩笑,全部材料都要量过算过!=P






接下来就是烘烤时间,其实在这之前还有几个步骤-煮馅料和印月饼的,不过不好意思忘了拍..=.="下次再补上! 

在烘盘上的月饼,颜色很不错!
再来个close up! 




嘻,这些都有人订了。
      看着这些照片,又燃起了我想家的心。想起今天去工作时,老板的爸爸忽然问我中秋节会怎么过,我告诉他我没庆祝的。他很急说:不可以不庆祝的,至少也买一块月饼切来吃。我微笑地点点头,心想:原来老人家对佳节的观念还是蛮强的,即使是时代在不停地变化,传统在他们眼中还是必须FOLLOW的呀,我想也是我们这些晚辈应该学习并继续维持下去的。我明天怎样忙应该都会去找一块月饼来切~~哈哈~~中秋节,想念可以和家人和邻人一起吃喝,更怀念以前可以用蜡烛来玩masak-masak,更想念妈妈的月饼。不知道今年我家附近还有没有人会提灯笼游行呢?
好想看到一棵挂满纸灯笼的树 =P...




祝大家

   中秋节快乐-- Happy Lantern Festival

空虚


        假期过了,回到工作岗位,懒散的心情一时 换不过来,呵呵。。生活就是这样,有起有落,在你不察觉的时候就带来了一些东西,带走一些东西;带给我1星期在家无忧无虑的欢乐,却带走了一点又一点的灵 感。所以说人懒了,灵感也跑掉了!哈。现在坐在电脑前面的我,眼睛睁大,脑袋却一片空白。才发现咖啡是不可以乱喝,尤其是在某些时间之后最好不要喝,要不 然你就会好像我这样。还以为咖啡是要来提神的,现在神却提不起,换来了一种: 身体想休息,可是脑袋却不允许的状况。
      我告诉自己今天12am前一定要去睡觉~~ 可是整个人却很空虚,好像明天又是为了要做明天的事,一样事情可以重复做好几次,一个念头可以重复地出现,一个周末又是这样过去... 不晓得你的周末是怎样度过的呢?有没有发现其实我们都好熟悉的物质享受,都听到不要听了,可是往往我们却还是要拿这些满足自己... 东西买得再多,娱乐的地方去得再密,同一天玩得再开心,却始终要回来面对明天的现实。唉...念着自己心里的空虚,我拿出一些能够多多少少填补心灵的书籍 出来看... 希望这些书本里的话能多多少少给我为了明天而奋斗的冲劲!!冲啊!!!
      好啦,时间不早了,送你们一句在书里找到的话,好像也是大家曾听过的,可是又有谁把那些话记在心里呢?


爱不需师出有名,爱没有任何理由,如果能具体说出爱的理由,便不是真正的爱了。

我的感想



      自己以前有个部落格,可是已经好久好久没有再去更新了。最近有一种很强烈的感觉,想再为自己设一个部落格,之后我就一直在想,要设这个部落格的目的。看过很多其他人的部落格,各不同,内容中心也不一样,我一直在问自己我要在这里写些什么,我些这一些到底是为了什么。想了很久终于知道自己要些什么了,至于是什么请大家留守我的部落格,那么慢慢地你就会知道我想要写些什么了。哈。之前有想过要以英文来blog,可是始终还是觉得自己的母语比较亲切,且容易表达,再加上自己的英文造诣也不是很好,哈!还需要更多的学习。不过可能有些时候会以英文来写。That will be once in a blue moon! LOL…
    话说回来,看过许多的部落格,表达着不一样的心声,至于是什么有看过别人的blog的人都知道你是如何喜欢、爱上或是风雨不改地去看一个人的blog。可能里边有着不一样的想法,有人会认同,有人不会认同,更有些人会激烈的反对你所说的一切。想法永远都是那么独特,你和我可能在某个时候会有着一致的想法,有时候却不能,这是创造者给了每一个人最独特的一面。对于我来说,我希望别人会认同我的想法,可是我知道,我没有办法使每一个人都认同我,没有办法去讨好每一个人,理性来说,没有这种必要。这是非常现实的世界,我希望这个部落格能够祝福更多人,能够把自己内心深处的想法说出来与大家分享。
   对,最近失声了,现在的声音好像鸭子般~~哈哈!! 有史以来最bassbass, 可是却让我领悟了一件事,就是当你有口有声音的时候最要用心去唱,去歌颂,不要等到没有声音,好像昨天的我,站在那里开口却不能发出平时expected的声音,是多么地可悲。还有听见电台好听的歌,平时的我会跟着唱,现在的我发出来的是竟是一一哑哑的声音,啊!很痛苦! 希望自己可以快点好起来,然后尽情的唱!呵呵~~
