How i define L I F E

L I F E ,

My own definition will be:

Love

Infinity

Food

Emotion

Let's start with Love. Love can be categorised into families love, friends' love or relationship in love.

The person closest to me since the day i was born is my Maternal Grandmother. 

Both mum and dad are workaholics so i only get to see them during the weekends when i was young. 

Grandmother showered me with all the cares and loves that no other people could give it to me. Even though sometimes she scold us, i know its for our own good.

Till today, she is still my best friend, best granny and best listener. I called her every single day from Manchester.

I can proudly announce to the world that i am her best grandchildren as well. 

Friends' Love,

I am lucky enough to meet a bunch of friends' from my ex secondary school. We still keep in touch all the times despite the distance. Distance isn't a matter because there isn't any boundaries between love. Constantly received text and called from friend's who are 10000km away make me feel blessed for having such friends.

Relationship:

I am a failure in relationship. I don't believe love in first sight. Its the time that you spent together counts. All i can say is i have a few crush but i only got into one relationship before. It has been awhile and now i lost faith in love. I am happy with my single life now. Please never convinced me Long Distance Relationship works cause it will NEVER EVER work no matter how near both of you are in a LDR , its a failure relationship. Sorry to say that but i strongly believe. 

Why i said life is infinity? 

I know where is the starting point of my life but i can never predict where when and how is the ending of my life. That's why my life in an infinity.

Being a 21 years old girl, i don't know when will my heart stop beating or my brain stop working. I do what i want to do without bothering what others' said. As long as i am happy, i do it. That's how you should treat your life as. 

You don't live for others, but you live for yourself. 

You are your own source of happiness. 

Food:

I am a bad cook or probably the worst 21 years old girl who failed in cooking. Grandma brought us up in a way that she took care of everything and doesn't allow us to enter the kitchen. Its not because she doesn't want to teach us cooking but she wants to do things fast and doesn't want us to disturb her. I started cooking my first fried egg when i went to college. I can't even crack an egg. What a failure of life.

After i went to University, i started learning to cook my own spaghetti. I rate my own spaghetti 7/10 ! =) 

My potion of food as a girl is a lot compared to others. Sometimes i think i eat more than a man. I don't really care of my body weight. 

Emotion:

I am quite an emotional girl if you know me well. I get excited over anything like i got touched when we all threw a surprise birthday party for a friend and she was so surprised that she cried. I cried before she started crying. I saw my friend walked into the wedding hall, the song started playing and my tears starting flowing as well. I cried 14 hours on the plane when i left home back to Manchester. This scared the shit out of the english guy next to me. After that i cried for weeks. I cried from small little things to big things. I am touched easily. Normally i like to act strong in front of friends. I am like the big sister who take care of others. Whenever i got problem i don't normally share with others as the saying goes trust no one but yourself.

My voice is loud as thunder, probably that's the way i am brought up with. Oh well, i think i scared a lot of friends away by speaking loudly. My mum speak softly and very lady-like but i am totally opposite. I can be very Man in time and my brother can be the girl in the family. My brother respect me a lot though in times we fight and quarrel but he still think i am the most daring sister.

After all, I can declare myself as the bravest and most daring person of my age.

I have a very strong will, once i decided what i want to do.

I will definitely achieve my own goal. I don't care what others think of me, i do it because i know that's the only time i can do it. If i tell myself fine and convince myself i will do it next time. I know i will not have a second chance anymore. My dad is a businessman, probably i got the influence as well. I can really bargain and i am always the winner when come to buying/shopping cause i count a lot. I am worst than aunties who go to the market to buy vege! 

The reason i always do what i want to do is when i grow old and look back to the past, i can tell my children and my grandchildren how great my life was and all the brave moment of their mum/grandma.

I always take pictures whenever i go is also another way i get to keep all my memories. Whenever i grow old, i get to look back at those pictures and start telling my stories with others.

" Pictures speak a thousand words"

You shape your own life , the decision you make can change your whole life.

Do it now before its too late

(spread the word, do it now!!)

Sadly, The Title goes to the blue at the very last minute!

After going crazy about United for the past one year, this might be due to the influenced of my mexico friend- Gissel Lopez. She introduced me to football on the day where they were awarded the 19 Champion league title. We waited outside west stand of OLD trafford-(the legendary stadium) for chicharito(her favourite )

Since that day, i started digging more and more information about the Red. I even find out whose the woman(WAG) behind each and every single footballers, their kids, their parents, their past and future. haha. Anything i can get from the online sources basically. I get to know more and more of each and everyone. Started following them on twitter. @waynerooney @rioferdy5 @coleenrooney @themichaelowen @tomclevz23 @luisnani @AntoV25 @d_degea

Basically,i just turned from a know-nothing-about-football-girl-to-a-crazy-man united-fans.. i made myself waiting at Old trafford for all their home games to get pictures and signature till the guard on duty at west stand can recognise me. No Matter Rain or shine, i definitely make myself there waiting in the cold for hours. i broke the record waiting up to 8 hours.before the match start till the match end plus some extra hours waiting for the players to come out.

till today, i collected a lot of pictures and signatures which i am still not contented with. Will get more and more next season definitely! i even went to carrington training ground to wait for them. Worst one was, exam in 5 days. i still make my way up there at 5am, bus journey took me about 40 minutes and walking to the training ground takes around 20 minutes. waiting under the cold and rain, worst is that there isn't any toilet that i could go. I need to stand outside the gate from 7 to 3pm. Every single minutes anticipating the players to leave the training ground. You can't definitely get them to stop on their way out, it's just up to their mood and my luck.

So, today is the decision day of the title of Premier league.

 I can't even concentrate revising for days cause i am worried about the match today.

it's either THE RED again or the blue moon rising.

i am very much against all the people who tell me CITY going to be the champion this year.

i just can't accept the truth.

When QPR make all the united fans dream came true by beating city 2-1. i Shouted in joy.

by the time, mu vs sun over. the title is still us till the OVER EXTRA(fuckoff mancini time)- the glimpse of tiny hope that one can never thought off even in their dream hit manchester united die hard fans. 

I SHOUTED IN PAINS when Aguero GOALLLL!!!! I cried inside and a non united fans will not know how i feel.I was speechless and sat on the couch for the next 10 minutes to realise its not a dream.

After all, i just need to convince myself. 

The red will be back again next season.

 We are just one small step behind.

THE TEAM WILL GO STRONGER this summer and we will see the lads improve with all the injuries players back on the field-Anderson, Vidic, fletchers, Welbeck.

Its time for me to really get back to books and not you tubing all the glory football moment for united anymore.

3 more days to my first paper. i know i can do it like how i did it waiting for the players hours and hours. i will be back with a new post after exam on my united trip.

Believe! 

No name

"He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'Cause I knew he'd never love me back


Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious


Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.


You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be


He's disappearing
Fading Steadily,
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please


Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.


I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are


Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on


Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

Yet, I'm better near to you."




Love,

Pigeon in Manchester City Centre

8 February 2012:
It was a wednesday morning and i got a whatapps message from Georgina telling me about the pretty looking sky. Looking through my window and yes i saw the really pretty sky which look different from any other days. I get changed and went out with my camera to take some shot.


I can't really take a decent shot as the buildings and cars are disturbing. So i went all the way to city centre and trying my luck but still. The blue and white strip sky kind of fading as the sun started to rise.


So yeah, i ended up meeting my "friends" in the city centre. Ya, those pigeons... =) i stood in the cold trying to get some flying shots. I was so reluctant to go till my fingers started to show the weird signs again. swollen red and expanded.


Here are some pictures of the day. Hope you like it =)

I really like this pictures as if it is telling a story. so i submitted to canon malaysia for the love contest and i am happy that i got shortlisted.

not really a good shot, but i want to show you guys how many "friends" i have in the city

Some nice old man came and fed them so they all flew to that corner





"i am sleeping man, don't disturb me"

I believe i can fly

You look to the left, i look to the right. fair enough. Hhmpps!

live up high

I really like this shot. walking towards me as if i am their food

Landed in action

i can't even see, its covering my sight.

Hmm, i have the eagle catching prey pose

wait for me, i want some food too

so lovely

=)

peace out =)

A saturday outing with the girls. 

Destination: Imperial War Museum in Media City

We took the express bus 50 from picadilly garden to old trafford stadium( yesh, the manchester united stadium) and walked from old trafford to media city.

Everyone wanted snowballs fight badly. 

Finally, we had it today and really enjoyed the 9 hours out of house moments.
