bomb-astik!

time is impatient. it's been almost two weeks

the fumes of garlic, one reeks

chopping leeks; repairing leaks

thank the lord, geek isn't sick!

rivers of light; blue skies

in the bright daylight

ah! even in the darkest of nights

it's such a comfort they bring delight!

a tailwind, perhaps to fly a kite?

sixty days. to spend - many ways.

live 'em like the blue jays

gay, yet never astray

Alas! remember your outlays.

roadtrips, foodheaps

it's always nice to have them

with the best of peeps!

Seems like Year Two

for this here Ngoo

wasn't all

"Boo..." and "Goo..."

haha.

through trials and (near) revivals

I'm sure we will all prevail!

wail not!

with the Big Man

how can we be frail?

blessed, indeed.

no, I don't kid.

Here's to these quirky friendships.

Ridiculously serious.

Seriously ridiculous.

frailty, life is.

Russian Proverb

A wooden bed is better than a golden coffin.

In loving memory of a friend who had so great a potential

to shine, go far, and be just as he is.

May your soul find rest in the Father's embrace.
And comfort, be upon your family members and friends.

a loss that could never be replaced

July 26 - CG outing to Batu Caves

the 'cave-in' in Batu Caves.

August 1-2 - Fraser's Hill Family Retreat! brrr....

very spooky entrance. we stayed here for the one night's trip. this place was booked by my aunt, and we got it FOC!! how nice : ) it's got a very colonial architecture... very comfortable! you see lots and lots of flowers, with credits to the caretaker of the bungalow... very pretty flowers!

this one looks like raspberries eh??

didn't find out what species they are... so it's like meeting someone you're familiar with but you've forgotten their name... agh... hahahah.

that's the golf course in Fraser's Hill!

this empty inn is another spooky one... couldn't help but imagine there's something lurking inside the picture!! eeeek...

this was where we bought some ice cream to cool down. the afternoon was hot and the air still.

stopping by Ye Olde Smokehouse to take pictures. my uncle's taking his time taking pictures of the place and the spouse!

Now, this is spooky. the dining hall in Maybank Lodge!!

front porch here.

flowers around the compound.

this one's outside the bungalow... near Alan's Water (a place to paddle boats).

flowers at a nearby nursery.

a shot from another bungalow.

this is Brinchang Bungalow.

Living hall of Maybank Lodge.

again, front porch.

fish eye view? minus the fish! haha

the pavement leading to the backyard. on your right is a tennis court, but without the net... But i doubt it's a tennis court... futsal maybe...

the view of the dining hall from the kitchen.


Back at home packing 2 presents for 2 lovely friends.

Another 'no-name' flower. but this one's at home. It blooms at midnight! Sounds ridiculous but it is true! there we were, the whole family waiting for it to bloom from....

this... to....

this in about 2 hours.

makes you gasp at how wonderful the Almighty's creations are...despite the irregular flowering seasons.


November 8 - Charity Walk/Jog/Wheel-a-thon with the disabled

sunrise!

the sunlight stings my eyes!


November 12 - Grad-day!

Upper 6 : Arts. KienWee's with us : )

the juniors. not all are here. some are busy with duties...

it's surprising we don't mind studying with dusty window panes!! hahaha: D

with the classroom stuck in the middle of the school compound, it's very hot and stuffy without shade from huge trees... sigh... such is the norm in smch! but that makes it feel like you're in chong hwa... Right, guys??

morning sunlight.

under the roof of the students' activity centre.

pale sunlight plus coloured hair.

we had 2 events that day. one is the grad ceremony. the other's a farewell ceremony for the headmistress.

Another day at home. two birds lepak-ed around the compound just outside the dining area.

hours later they were seen frolicking outside my room...

It's been a long long time since the last update... so here you go... a picture-full post from me to you... : ) Enjoy!


*while reading, take a peek at this site. it's a comic animation. very funny but meaningfull. those with pets, you might need to consider this seriously especially this Christmas season where food is involved! hahaha..

until then, happy holidays and merry christmas!
God bless : )

have a kit kat!

Bonjour! This would be a brief update (I suppose). Sat for an 8-day exam which ended on 25th May. The papers were quite grueling. Yes, it's tough and I know I haven't been studying earlier, so I realised that consistent work (which was what I did not do) pays off. Got my results for micro- and macro-economics and it was a mild shocker. Expected the former to be much better than the latter, but what I'd gotten was the opposite. And the reason I was a little dissatisfied with myself was that I spent the most time revising for microeconomics. It's quite a letdown, actually. Still waiting for the results of the remaining papers... Meanwhile, had time to chill out for awhile after mid-year's... This is for an avid fan of doraemon while the other's for a friend who loves cheese.

This, together with a bunch of carnations was for the advisor of Sixth Formers' Club.

Went to Titiwangsa with a bunch of church youths (we call ourselves Footprints) on the 31st in the hot afternoon. They played games there and had lunch after a session of 'torturing' members by the leaders. I was excluded. Am behind the lens ma....

That's it for now... one more week until school reopens... gotta start doing homework... agh! Anyway... the people in this photo (taken by our form teacher/the school guard) is who I see every other day in school, just so you know... warm colours. well... nah... my classmates lah. Unfortunately, one of our friend has Multiple Sclerosis and is unable to join us in class. Hope he will recover soon. Tough guy he is! Keeping you in prayer! Stay strong, you've still gotta sit for STPM!
