I love spending time with myself and comfortably I am sitting on my bed writing without a sense, this is just what I need after a week of hoo-haa. Do click on Lily Allen singing Everybody's Changing originally by Keane. It's soooo cute and catchy, especially when this is one of my favourite song, it has a total different touch and feel to it when sang by Lily.
A colleague of mine, Anding told me to check out this local singer and I must admit I am very impress with her music. Hence you should check it out if you come across to have a little of your time.
It is a 'feel good song' that calm nerves during traffic jam...my favorite is 'Rocket'
www.myspace.com/yunaroomrecords
I personally think that every moment there is almost a song to it. Don't know if you call this emotional or sensitivity but especially when I am by myself, I have a high tendency to STOP, EVALUATE / NOTICE the moment that I am in. Be it when I am driving during sunset, the orange color sky that mesmerize me with a good song playing on radio, the tall buildings reflect its ray to a perfect color on its own, I love that feel and immediately I have a photographic memory to that moment. I suppose that is what I call 'My Moment'.
Speaking of that, if you know about my little leg incident, I honestly did not think it is something bad. It is very emotional and I will share. Alvin and Leng were panicky trying to find a 24 hour hospital or clinic while my toe was bleeding like a bitch, when we finally pull over at the front entrance of Tung Shin, I was confuse and was at the urge of tearing, it honestly reminded me of my dad's frequent visit to hospital. When they put me on the wheelchair and scoop myself to the bed, the talking non-stop me told Alvin and Leng out of the blue 'please excuse me guys, I am very emotional I think I am going to cry, I miss my dad'. The pain was really not that big of a deal, I was just feeling extremely sorry for my dad, for going through the pain that he had to, for doctors to be stitching him and doing painful things to him for a good one and half year, I felt very sorry. That is why it felt ok to be hurt, because it allows me to feel my dad's pain. I had a big break down in the night, I wish he had not gone through the pain, glad he is ok now. I am ok too. Anyway, uploaded some recent photos.
Let us start with the Ah Lian post of 0, 1, 2, 5. Azzura is not going to be very happy with this but it is funny ba. =)

| Whoooaaa can you believe it? It's May and I still feel like the year had just started.
Glad to announce that I am happily settled down at home sweet Malaysia. Nothing beats being with family, Azlan and close friends, they guard me so much that I do not even have time to blog. I am so loved, pampered and spoil that I put a constant reminder to myself on Oz days, the good old days when I ate microwaved tofu and white rice for weeks. NOW? turun tangga already have 'le restaurant' in your kitchen. I appreciate it I promise.
Another satisfaction in life, I am employed..with a job I love and have dream of doing it for years. *read contract* says I am a 'production assistant' for Popiah Pictures. Popiah Pictures is a production house that does series, drama and reality show like , Table for Two, Realiti, Each Other etc. Website is www.popiahpictures.com
We are currently working on Ghost 2 and I have been following the crew for shooting on site, indeed as heard, this industry spells H.E.C.T.I.C! Someday I work up to 15 hours a day and sleeping had become my pure fantasy. Nevertheless, it is fun and I could not be happier. The people I met, actors and the crew team had been amazingly wonderful, I really enjoy their company and humor, making my 15 hour day goes by in a split second. After Ghost 2, I will be station with office work, like casting, looking for sponsorship, coordination job, everything etc etc. looking forward to work internally as well.
What else? I finally discovered a new salon that I am more than willing to settle on. The salon is known as EP Hair Salon located at Mid Valley, North Point. It is a Japanese Hair Salon and they know how to cut hair, nicely and precisely. Do bring Jusco Card as you get 10% for any service. \

Oh how can I forget, the clumsy me was at work last week and tripped on a rock, slit open my big toe on my left foot, blood gushed down and I was sent to Tung Shin Hospital for 7 stitches. The stitches reminded me of 'Chucky' and I somewhat thought it was pretty cool to have the doctor stitching on my toe. I swear I was laughing and talking none stop when he was stitching it, he asked my friends 'does this girl look sick?' haha psycho. But *touch wood* glad that was just a minor injury.
Ok sleepy...missing Australia and loving Malaysia. xoxo.
Before signing off
Catch Ghost 2 on 8TV, 10.30pm every Sunday. or you can even watch it online at 8tv.

| When its quiet I think of you most
When I'm hurt with a smile I frown
When I miss you I'm mildly empty
When almost in tears I always hold
When this is indescribable, I love you so.
On the fifth of January 09, it was a difficult day. I remembers myself being in flashes, everything was happening, too quick, too much and too soon...I did not have time to register until I settled on the bus ride from Toowoomba to Brisbane Airport. My mind was still running...and it only stopped after a blank stare outside the window... There was a large field with an infinate view, there was a river flowing steadily, and the whole picture was painted in orange, the sky was orange, it was filled with orange and gold energy. It was beautiful, it was heaven like.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?

| 08 finished with an interesting lined up of events that made me smile faintly; lingering in my heart I still feel the warmth today. 25th December 08 - I spent my Christmas with the Hodges family (yes my dear boss & family). I would officially said that this is my first proper celebration of Christmas, since I had the opportunity to shop for last minute Christmas presents, wrap them up one by one with Merryn in her living room, placed it under the Christmas tree, and patiently wait to received my presents on the actual day. Christmas was fun, full of laughter, food, lollies and....alcohol. I did not sleep that night until I passed out in the 9am flight back to Malaysia on 26th December 08. 26th December 08 - Of cause I laugh and cried with my family. I was glad to make the decision to return home, I would not want to regret one day. I suppose his condition is more serious than I imagined. 31st December 08 - A very happy NYE me. I was very lucky to caught up with Az and Leonard during lunch time. Their spontaneous conversations cracks me up at all time, they are funny hence I am happy. Evening was a blast, how would you spend New Years Eve other than your best girlfriends and of cause the awesome boyfriend. We (Azzura, Ellie, Maha & I) were extremely 'high' on each other, absolutely loud and embarrassing on certain occasion (example, in a quiet cafe we were monkey-ing around) but could not be bothered at the surroundings at all. We went for dinner at Bangsar Village, followed by coffee and went to Mist for countdown. 2nd January 08 - I attended a concert literally by myself. Thank You AZ and Leonard. It meant too much to me. 4th Jan 08 - Back to Toowoomba. But certainly this preview trip made me realized that it is not bad at all to be home. | | |
| Last night at 157 Baker Street after 3 years, as much as being the most untidy house (except my room), I am missing it already. So much memory, so much people.
Moving into Brian & Merryn's tomorrow. Having to make myself comfortable in another house reminds me of my first day arriving in Australia.
My stuff is excessively overload. I need to dispose at later stage.
Confirm heading home on 23rd Jan 09. To change air tix cost 800 dollars, it's too much for the few days of changes.
Doubt I will be getting Internet connection in my new room, hence doubt I will blog.
...Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and See you all in 09 Malaysia.
Love,
Shan
