Past, Today and Tomorrow

I was born in the year of 1983...
In the past 25 years, I spent most of my time in a small town called - Simpang Empat.

It is not a place with attractions or good food, but most of the youngster here live outstation or overseas, leaving the elderly in town with a small group of skilled teenagers and adult.

Although, as i mentioned, no tourist attractions, no delicious food, but this is a town where I had spent most of my time with my beloved family members...

my ah ma (grandmother), taoke and taoke soh (dad & mum), most hatred Koko (brother), ah jie (sister) and xiao fei (younger sister), they all had brought me the brightness and darkness side to my life...

I still remember, once I wished I could meet with Mr Right that as good looking as my brother (I know most of does not think that he is good looking, but that's when I was at stage sought for puppy love, okay!), but I later regretted this, as I realised this is a materialistic world, nothing is certain.

Then, I dreamed of becoming a cabin crew, a pilot, astronaut, lawyer and many many more professions that u could think off. What an ambitious girl haha... No doubt, when it came to academic, I do graduated with flying colours (I get most in blue and some red ink, indicated I failed several subjects).

Well, that's not the side of the story I wanted to tell ya... After graduated from college and later university, I knew the one and only thing that i desired the most id - FREEDOM!

A totally freedom from anyone, parents, siblings and even my behalf. But this is impossible. As my wish not to marry in the first five years after graduated - destroyed! Most of my friends still in the stage of not believing this news, I knew, I do, I really really know that most u guys thought the guy willing to marry me MUST BE BLIND!

Ok, I understand. However, with a sensible approach I have on the kind of live I want to go through, I hope I can achieve part of it. Cause, for most conservative Chinese, they hope to have baby after marriage, which I do not think so. So, what I am doing now is to delay date to have a baby by practicing family planning, sound smart right! Yeah, that's thought from brilliant chew chin @ ccTan.

On the other hand, my lao kong (husband) would have no choice but to follow whatever I have decided. Why? Because for a woman to pregnant, you should have intercourse or sex with a man...haha (But, I can't guarantee on my plan, so GOd please stay with me, thank you)

After all, the sadness part is that I have to leave my lovely hometown, a place where i used to proudly called home. Although i can return home whenever I want, but it is just meaningless. i can't celebrate Chinese New Year Eve and play fire crackers with all my relative.

It is learnt that my husband have no fire crackers and they having the Chinese New Year Eve dinner only among their family....You know, my mum would prepared mouth watering dishes for lunch and we all would get drunk after taking fishballs, vegitables, fishes and etc in a steamboat (dinner).

Just imagine a month before Chinese New Year, our fridge would overloaded with food only. You can't even make ice or keep ur drink refrigerated.

I have tender my resignation letter early this month and it's sad to leave this lovely company which practice Malaysian spirit. As you would never think, speak or act as a Chinese, Malay or Indian, in this company.

Despite many called our company a 'BN paper', this is something that I feel happy with. Just call us whatever u want, but we are just reporting thr truth that we believed in. Manzai NSTP!

I will be leaving this lovely place a week before my departure date to meet up with my lovely sister in Singapore. As I cleaning up my rubbish during my off days, I was once stunned and saddened by the fact that I have to go.

I love you all - daddy and mummy, fei fei and pui pui, siao ta poh and ah mah....




Below are the family member of my hhubby, who is also my second family...say HI to them

Hi CC.

I just want to tell you that I had fun with you in Kedah the other day. Thank you for being so nice! You're hilarious lah, I swear. No wonder the guys adore you.. heheh.

I have tendered my resignation too, and most probably, will be re-joining NST. Yes, you're right about the multi-racial bit. Somehow, we don't care whether we're having breakfast with a Malay / Indian / Chinese / Iban etc. Yang penting, every time we sit down together, we'll be gossiping about the bosses, the politicians, the police etc kan?

Anyway, please continue to blog. I think through blogging, we get to know our friends better. And we know what's going on in your life.

I guess, that's why Fairuz and I blog --- because I know that it doesn't really matter if he is in Kangar or Alor Setar or JB, we'll always be close. And through his blog, I know if he's happy, or angry or going through a bad time at work.

I have a blog too... hahhahah.. It's password protected, though.. because of one stupid person.. urgh.. but if you can email me, I'll add you to the list.

Take care okay? And hope to see you again, soon. If you come to KL, don't forget to call me.. :)
