Last weekend was great! 40 friends came for my open house! Well definitely a lot of people but it worth while. Dissapointed with those who promised to come but did not though hmph. It was also the first time my kepochi cousins and aunts saw lia and boy what a commotion it was teheheh. They didn't actually talk much with her, heck they barely spoke but they were like pointing n smirking giving her that smile that says 'so you're about to join the family eh'
Had loads of food during that day but unfortunately i didn't had the chance to indulge myself in all of them!! That was my biggest regret! Only being able to eat a few sticks of satay, busy BBQ-ing the chicken pieces but in fact i havent even tasted it! At the end of the day i realised just how multiracial my family is. Having a chinese mom and a malay dad. During that day when i realised there are all kinds of people it just made me feel so.... Malaysian :) and that is a fact! no other country in the world have this kind of thing... anyway i well hope to think that way heheh
and now exams are coming!! the whole week has been projects, lab reports, assignements!!
i have 2 weeks to study right now! better make the best out of it!!

A new skill mastered
I've learned a new skill! A new art form i found on my very own!
The art of gathering and making sure that all the problems that you have get tucked into that dark corner at the back of your mind! Well i don't want it to disappear totally but i don't want it to keep bugging me either. So i chucked it way back and ignored it most of the time subconsciously knowing that it's still there and not letting it affect me in any way.
It reminded me of a movie i watched way back. it says :
Take 5 minutes to mope and cry all you want and then stop and move on with life.
It doesn't matter whether u take 5 minutes or 5 days to mope and sulk about something that has already happened because at the end of the day.. It's OVER! So just pick your self up and move on with live. Do something... well anything! just don't mope ;)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri :)
Hari Raya Aidilfitri came once again. Being born and raised in the city I envy those people having a kampung to go back too. That thrill of going back to the little kampung visiting atuk and nenek on Hari Raya. Sadly i've lost both grandparents both my mom's n dad's side.
Even when ah-ma was still up and running i remember 'balik kampung' everytime Chinese New Year came but the thing about my kampung is that it's in the middle of town! Batu Pahat town to be exact and my ahma's house is right in front of a main road!! I envy people having a real life village kampung to go back to every festive season. I want a kampung to go back to! Preferably one in the middle of no where and even better if its a wooden house on stilts by the beach!!
Hahah so that's just a city boy's little dream(gasp i'm still refering to myself as a boy even though i know i shouldn't be one anymore =P). The only chance of me being together with nature is probably during camping trips back in the schooling days monkeying around. Together with a group of young, crazy and fully packed with hormones bunchof 10th KL Airscout guys!! I wish to do it again someday. Camping somewhere... anywhere actually... Just being one with nature :)
I will someday. All i need is the time, the company, a place and most importantly the WILL to actually do it! One day.. you'll see me carrying my backpack gearing up for a camping trip somewhere. Just you wait guys!
Well anyway raya passed by just like that and while sitting at home in this empty city i realised what i've never experienced as something i really find hard to grasp. That feeling of balik kampung. But hey i have my family around me. Be it my mom, dad or annoying brother. Or the aunts and uncles with other crazy cousins all in KL here nearby. I celebrated Raya with our own family tradition. Something different and yet so similar. Because its not about where. It's about who you're with and how pure your feelings are.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
