Thank you GOD

Last Friday night, I had a shock hearing that my parents met with an accident!! Was in the laundry shop collecting my soft toys when my brother messaged me and dropped the bomb. I called my mum immediately and my dad picked up the phone. They told me that they were fine and are waiting for the tow truck now. He was telling my the story about how the car skidded into the rails at the curve, suspecting that some people poured oil/grease on the road cause because before their car stopped,there were already 2 tow trucks approaching them and so on but I was not really listening to the details as I just wanted to be with them at that moment UNTIL he came to the part telling me that another big car(I forgot what car) rammed into them head to head!!!

Collected my soft toys and rushed to them. I was like "OMG, how could this happened? Why? What if they....." However, I thank GOD that they were safe and not hurt the slightest bit although they were spinning around in the car and banged by another car (according to them). Even my dad was saying "THANK GOD" and I was really happy..I just felt that he was referring to "YOU" or maybe that was how I wanted it to sound but anyways, I THANK YOU once again.


Reached to where they were waiting and was shocked to see the car's condition and was amazed that the car could still move and exit the tol. One of the tyre's rim was crooked and the tyre was cacat looking. The driver's door could not be opened and that's when the words "Another car was coming straight to our face, Luckily the car was driving really slow. If not....." flashed through my head. I shivered at the thought of it.. When my dad told me that part, he said all he could say was "O OH" and my mum was screaming but very softly...


At that moment, I had all sorts of emotions. Angry, fear, happy, sad, relieved...Picked my brother up from home and went to the police station to file a report. Was there for about an hour and a half. My my,there were so many people but I was on the phone during the whole time there. Well, I could not do much either. My parents had to be together with the tow guy. By the way, I was on the phone with my cousin sister callling from Paris.

Having the conversation with her made me realize that I missed her so so much. Of course I do miss and think of her any other days. We managed to catch up on so many things and she said that she'll be coming back next year and yeah, after 8 loong years of not seeing her, I'm finally meeting up with her again along with my much missed cousin bro-in-law and nephew. This time, when she comes back, I'm able to see her two younger kids whom I've not met in person as well (photo, yes). Rather excited.. However, all's not confirmed but she did mention that if she does not come back, she'll sponsor an air ticket for me to go visit her!! Wow, never expected that and was really happy to hear that..hehe...However, I do not think I'll let her carry all the burden. Well, it's still pretty far to think about it so, I guess till then only decide again le ;)

Went to watch Open Season last week with some friends and it was not a bad movie. hilarous so, go watch it ;) Before watching the movie, went and buy a small shirt and a new carpet for Milo. I could see that he loves his new carpet a lot because the moment he saw it, he sat on it and ever since then, he always sit on it. Previously, he was always sitting on my mum's door mat and she was always complaining about his fur on her door mat. hehe.. Oh, Milo loves his new shirt too cause when he saw someone takes it, he'll come after it...haha...

Being a PIG

The long holidays were sort of boring for me BUT I would say that it was a good break as I could just take a good long rest without anybody disturbing me.. Did nothing much except got sleeping really late at night (playing games), waking up reaalllly late, eating, watching TV and sleeping again in the noon.. Was really living a life like a pig!!Not forgetting the good food cooked by my dad and grandma and also having meal times on time!! Although was a lazybum, I still did my bit helping out around the house, of course. Well, don't except my aged grandma and injured mum to walk and clean the house, rite?

Did some serious thinking and talking with dad and cousin bro and time to make some serious decisions again..There are some conclusions and decisions though but not all are confirmed.. Surrendering all to HIM and asking to help me make wise decisions ^_^

Met up with some friends too during the Raya open house and had a good chat and well, as all of us know, time flies. With a glimpse of an eye, it's Thursday and back to work !! Had to come in early too as there were some work which I needed to settle....Pretty sleepy though *Yawn* However, will and gotta tahan til night cause goin to watch "Open Season" ;) Hopefully it's as good and funny as others recommended ;)

All right gotta sign off and start work again so that lesser things to worry..

Have never really liked writing sad stuffs on my entries but maybe I just need to let it out..Been wanting to meet up with you and have a good catch up on things but so far, it has never happened. You're always on my mind whenever I'm near or far but the one bad thing is that at times I do not take any actions.. (Yeah, I admit I'm a rotten apple at times..hehe) At times I wait for your call , at times I so wanna call you out on weeknights or even weekends but I know that weekends are the busiest times cause we'll need to spend some time with our family after a long week working and not really spending some quality time with them. However, of course when we meet up, I'm happy, I enjoy it but yet something's missing..I don't know why...

You and I have heard many a times about the friendship story of Nee and I've came to know that you and I share one same thought.........I've been advise to talk about this but never really had the chance and maybe if given the chance, I don't think I'll even know how to start..One reason why this is not brought up is also because I know you are going through one of the hardest journey in life now.. I know that whenever people were to ask how are you, you'll reply that you're ok when you are not. I know why you do that but remember that you do not have to lie to me..Reading your current entry hurts me to hear your condition and of course worries me as well and I want you to know that you should not say "No one else should be worrying about me"!!!!

We do not really know much about what's happening in each other's life anymore. Maybe it's because you and I are so busy with our own stuffs.. I admit that I always could not make it when you call and I always feel bad cause I really wanna meet up with you so so very much...Sigh...I just feel that we're not that close anymore..If one were to ask either one of us now how the other party is, I know that I can only say "Oh, ok ar..so far ok le I think"..What about you? How would you answer? Don't worry, not forcing nor will force you to answer ;)

I don't know..We're still close of course but differently..To me, I know that I'm at a stage whereby I do not doubt our friendship@sisterhood..I know that it is as solid and strong as a rock..I'm sure that we are also at a stage whereby we understand each other well and some words are needless to say to send out the message. It is easily accepted and received ;)


Now, as we age and with our work, and also because so many things have happened especially unexpected ones, we've lesser time to meet up so I guess 顺其自然 la..So many more to tell you so maybe we'll talk when we meet..

P/s: please note that this should not be taken as a burden and do not worry about it..I'm much better letting it out now..






,Luv always & take care LOTS..........

Tired but happy

Whew, really made full use of my day yesterday...been telling myself to tidy up my room for a month but so many things had happened and did not really have the chance to do so and well, of course was also lazy la.. Anyway, I finally got my lazy bum up and tidied the entire room [Else than that, I even washed the porch, bathed Milo (my beloved Jack Russell) and mopped the floor downstairs!!! could not believe I was that hardworking too..Haha].

Started in the morning and ended around evening.. Of course, with short breaks in between cause I had to be the chauffeur and drive my mum out to and back from her hairdresser...Managed to push up one my beds up leaning it against the wall, vacummed the carpet thoroughly, wash the curtains and comforter, clear out some unwanted stuffs and again, stock in some beautiful boxes/ tins/ books etc. which I do not even know if I'll be using it.. This happens whenever I clean up my room..

Took a short rest after tidying up as I needed to prepare myself for dinner with my friends later at night. Thought of taking a short nap but that brother of mine, giving an excuse saying that he did not know I was home, started blasting his stereo set!!!! Arggghh!! Managed to take a 15 minutes nap only (T_T)

Having dinner with the gang again was great to me although was pretty tired. Maybe it is because it has been a long time since we've gathered around all together like old times. After dinner, we went for a bowling. It's been a loooooong time since I've played and I finally touched the bowling ball again last night. Each time they play, I would just sit there and watch. Not having the interest of playing but don't know what got into me last night..I managed to strike once and have spares at times!!Yeah!! but my points were still low..Anyhow, it was still a good and fun game..haha ^_^

Body was aching when I got up this morning.. maybe it was because of all the climbing up and down the stairds and cleaning up of room yesterday...Sigh...This is the sign of 1) lack of exercise and 2) getting old??? (Oh Nooooooo!!!!!) Gotta do something about it!!!! [Bear in mind that I'm referring to REASON 1 OK?? ;) ]

Weekend

The weekend went by ok for me.. On friday, worked half day and went to Tesco to buy some stuffs for the BBQ session at night in conjuction with Mooncake Festival which was held in Ah Guan's house =) Lotsa food was bought and I really wanted to eat lots but unfortunately, I had a very bad sore throat tat night and alas, I did not have the appetite to eat at all anymore but yet I still had some as I was pretty hungry. Swallowing the food down was sort of a torture =( Did not even had the chance to try the BBQ stuffs...well, what to do.. That night we could not see the full round moon as well because of the haze.. Stuffy, hot + sore throat = super uncomfortable..However, that night it was great to know a new friend, and don't worry Jase, I promise I'll try not bullying you too much ;) haha..

**********************************************

On Sunday, I went for a musical by the Dama Orchestra, "Butterfly Lover (梁山与祝英台）" with my parent and grandma. Lots of elderly ones went but there were quite a few youngsters as well. I've been looking forward for this musical. Don't know why but maybe it is because I would like to see how a musical in Chinese would be like. Well, it was ok. For a first timer(Dama Orchestra) staging a musical, I think they are doing it fine. This is a Chinese Classic story which was shown on TV numeral times before. Must be thinking aiyo, this girl so old wan ar, watch old old movie..Well, yeah, I do enjoy it and I've come to realize that their songs are always sung in the same melody.Not just one movie, but lots. Guess that's the way it is ;)


Could see that the props used are pretty simple but good enough for people to know and understand what it was. When watching towards the end of the show, was actually wondering if they would do more musicals based on famous Chinese classic like "帝女花"， "Journey to West" and many more since this was quite a success =) Hoping that they will come up with something and am looking forward for their next project..

Mooncake Festival

One of the nicest mooncake festival box I've ever received. It's from one of my 好朋友 from work, Kenny =) Knowing me; will sure to keep it..Hehe..

Welcome Welcome

Welcome to Sh'ntigrade - 温渡日记- . This post will be about my new blog and probably there'll be new things.. Not sure yet though..I'll be trying my hands on Chinese words and maybe at times there'll be Chinese words appearing here and there. Of course with the help from my friends =)

Was sitting thinking of this blog's name and asked my friends for some help on the Chinese name and therefore, this name was thought of with the help from Eser and Ke Wang. Thanks lotsa..This blog name in both English and Chinese simply means temperature. English coming from the the word 'Centrigrade' meaning 'Celsius' in simpler terms. As for Chinese, it's "Wen Tu Ri Qi"haha..The first word would be my surname, second word comes from the word 'vacation' and finally, final two words means diary =) I've also learned from Ke En that "渡日" has it own meaning that says something about a journey (if not forgotten le. short term memory la)

So, welcome to the small little world of Sh'ntigrade ;)
