Day of Birth

28th of June seventeen years ago was probably the most horrifying painful experience of my mother in labor. That baby's cry echoed the labor room, and a baby girl was born. Though those nine months of pregnancy was torturing, you did not once give up, and here I am now seventeen years later, alive, healthy and happy.

For me, growing up was tough, but for you, life was probably more than torture, having to raise up a child like me. I admit, I might not be an ideal daughter, but I am trying to become a better one as the years go by. From an introvert who bottles everything in her heart to an extrovert who is a bigger pain in the butt. Seriously, I don't really know which of myself is more irritating and harder to handle. But the years went by, and I did not end up by the side of the street begging or in an orphanage. I grew up really well, and I will definitely treasure everything that you have given to me throughout these years. I will remember all those sacrifices and devotion clearly, it is about time for me to repay, but I must say, I will definitely still be in debt until our next lifetime together. Thank you daddy, thank you mommy for all the love I can never stop getting or asking for.

Parents I could never ever finish repaying this lifetime

My secondary life, has made a huge impact in my life, doing life together was something that completed me. I used to be an introvert, a quiet freak who sat at the corner in class not talking to anyone else. I too never thought that I would have the potential to be a chatter box, a leader, a bestie. I could never speak up infront of a crowd, but look at me now, I'm a queen guide, I talk in huge crowds, I stand up in clubs to talk and help out maybe even give opinions. Courage like this started to build up because of the confidence my buddies and friends gave to me.

Form one- Class of 1A10, the beginning of a new life alone in a totally different environment. Times where I started to mix around and as if luck was on my side, I met and made great friends who are still and will still continue to be my best friends forever.

Form two- Class of 2A11. The best year I could ever ask for. Up one grade in class, and the people I met, were definitely the craziest bunch of people. I started to understand life this year. Looking at life from a different perspective, living life even if there were many wounds in my heart. Supportive strength from these monkeys made me stand strong. Cxi Cxi 5, though we are all in different classes, we still stay one, we still are the best of friends, the closest unrelated sisters.

From three- Class of 3A12, the time life started to change. I fell, got shot in class, stood back up. The start of serious studying, the start of new friends making, the start of new bonding and friendship. Time passed very quickly this year, was it because we were having too much fun studying and enjoying life? Anyhow, it was the first year my friends at school celebrated my birthday for me at the school canteen. Thinking about that surprise celebration, I can't help but to feel quite embarrassed as the whole canteen started singing so loud that the nearby classes heard. Thank you, for this blessed birthday.

Form four- Class of 4A12. Remained in the top class, and this was when all the stress and activities kept flooding in. Despite all the stress from studies and activities, it was still a blissful year. Taking up more challenges along the way, becoming more sociable,  attending more social activities and finding my love for photo capturing. Taking my Nikon D3200 in one hand, capturing these moments in a click of a button. Life was busy, but a busy life, is when you live life to the fullest. I'm not a cat, I go by YOLO and not nine lives. Oh did I mention before? I met someone, yeah someone :)

From five- Class of 5A12. Senior year is here! Present president of the Girl Guide Association of my school, assistant treasurer of the Chinese Society Club, head of the school photographers, one of the steering committee in our Librarian board which is in charge of the circulation of books and the current KL Queen guide of 2014. Thank you to all, who have supported me during these five years, and now, I will fight for my SPM results. 

School, friends, teachers, unrelated sisters and brothers, I love you.


Diary of 28th of June.
Morning- Had breakfast with my family at antipodean, Bangsar. Had egg benedict and iced peach tea. Dang that was some delicious egg! Loved the setting of that cafe, and the food there was delicious <3

Afternoon- This day, a small group of dear friends celebrated my birthday with me at Mid Valley. We were supposed to watch How To Train Your Dragon 2 but they were fast selling and too many people were lining up so we just decided to ditch the movie and go shopping. Met an ex senior and walked around with her in Mid Valley for some time before she had to go back to work. The four of us kept splitting into two and wandering around in shops and later the mall. As if fate were on our side, we didn't have to keep contacting each other as we kept bumping into each other afterwards.

"What's a birthday without cake" Quoted from someone. Thank you for the cake, and the present.

Chocolate berry cake from Lavender, Mid Valley

Didn't want to put the other seven candles on because they were too nice so I decided to keep them instead



Outfit of the day. New from top to bottom to shoes


Evening- Dinner with family and English class later. My friends for 4 years there started singing Happy Birthday as i walked into class. One of them gave me a present, an ice cream cup and some chocolate.

The sister since From2, same class ever since, thank you for the present
