Love For My First Bootz

Lately, I have this mood for boots.
Well, I should say I’ve fallen in love with boots ever since my first visit to Perth, Australia during in the month of July. Gosh! This has reminded me about my long postponed plan to blog about my Perth trip. Oh my.. =X

 

My mum got me these boots for $19 (after discount). Thank you mum! It costs about RM62.70 in Malaysia ringgit. I don’t know are they consider cheap but my friends said they are! So, I assume I got a good bargain for a high heel with fish mouth booths! ^^

 

That is when my interest for boots begin and I like seeing myself wearing one because firstly, it makes me look classic. Next, I feel myself look stylish. Lastly, it make my feet look smaller (I have square, wide feet).

 

Another thing is, I start to learn wearing lagging. I know I might sound funny to some of you. Frankly, I didn’t dare to wear lagging because it looks somehow weird when seeing a pair of black, tight object from the above. Don’t you feel weird too? Anyway, it matches well with a pair of boots. I learned this fashion from the Australian. Guess, I can call this cross-culture ;)

 

 

Seriously, they look great in their winter outfit! I mean the Australian! I love their dress up which is simple and stylist. Too bad, I can’t wear that in Malaysia or I will be killed by those thick and warm material under the hot sun~

 

I love my first boots from my mum. Again, thank you mummy =D

 

P/s: Although high heel boots are pretty, they can be very painful to your leg muscles when they’re wore in a long period of time. They say, no pain no gain – which is true =/

 

*Update*
Sorry for my wrong calculation. The boots price has been corrected. It’s about RM62.70.

An Effort Exchanged A Smile

When I was young, I wish to have a grandfather.

 

I wish that he will play with me, buy me candy, hug and throw me in the air, then of course catches me, safe me when I’m being beaten, pat me to sleep and hear me squeaking.

 

But then, I never had a grandfather. Unfortunately. I mean, I do have but they left before I could speak ‘gong gong’ (means grandpa in Chinese). For all this while, I have this perception that grandpa must be looking like Santa Clause or ‘Chai Sen Yeh’ ( Chinese’s God of wealth) which now to think about it is kinda ridiculous. Or.. maybe he looks like Albert Einstein? Lol.

 

This has reminded me of my play on chicken eggs. Link.

 

Guess God must have heard my little secret and borrow me Calv’s grandpa where I could make and give birthday present to him, for a grandpa. It is just a simple card and I never expect for any return.

 

There are Chinese characters which wrongly written. Forgive a banana who doesn’t know the right way to copy write >.<

 

Well, I received return and it’s a very warm and happy smile from him. The moment is so wonderful and even after 2 months, I am still  happy with what I’ve done for gong gong. I feel lucky =)

 

Do you ever have the chance to play with your grandfather?
What are the experiences that your grandfather gives you?

 

I am curious to know.

Moon Dog In Kuala Lumpur

The view is spectacular!!!
OH MY GOD!

I will never ever forget this moment of seeing a Moon Dog (or known as paraselene) with my own eyes. Never! It’s such a holly phenomenon that last almost half an hour at my place. I was stunned with the beauty of the Moon Dog phenomena.

Calv called me about 11.50pm, asking me to go out and watch the moon. I was actually watching youtube on a shared clip before making myself to walk out from the house. I was in a questioned mode, wondering what kind of surprises the Moon will bring me again?

 

Together, we saw this:

 

10-10-2011 (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

 

In another 15 minutes time, a plane passed by and I got this ‘super extraordinary’ scenery. Unique~

 

Notes: Photos taken using my pink-eggie (compact camera)
This is called, ‘Rarer than the rare’

 

And this makes me wanting to sing, “can we pretend that airplane in the night sky like shooting star?” Lol..

 

Calv has checked information about this phenomena online and he learned that it’s called Moon Dog (almost similar to Moon Ring) from Wikipedia. It stated that it’s an extremely rare phenomenon and it doesn’t happen often (rarer than sun dog). For more info, click wikipedia.

 

It might be called as a Moon Right. After some researches and readings, I still believe it’s not Moon Ring, but Moon Dog because it’s not exactly a full moon.

 

Anyway, I feel extremely lucky to be able to witnessed the Moon Dog in my housing area and snapped some photos, while talking on the phone with Calv. The experience is marvelous and romantic. What a goddess moon.

 

This has reminded me about my previous discovery on the Smiley Moon. That too, happened once in a live time. I am fortunate to be able to get good picture with my same camera. Head over here for the smiley moon post.

 

1-12-2008

 

So, have you seen it? Do you able to capture it with your camera? There is a friend who managed to capture with rainbow effect. So unique.

 

Hope you feel as lucky as I am with the best photos I could take =)

 

P/s: Moon always gives me surprises with her wonders <3

Love At The Door

Do you know what is the best gift from a lecturer who has taught me for 3 years?
Or should I ask, what will make me touched and cried for the rest of my life?

 

Lol. It seems like I am exaggerate my words but then, that’s how I feel when I saw THIS:

 

Closer view:

 

It was last Thursday, when Dibah visited the faculty and thought of giving Dr. Diana (The Queen) a visit at her office. Unfortunately, she was not there and we thought of leaving the place and visit her another day. Before we left, to our surprise, we spotted our name on her office door!

 

Ahhhwww… isn’t she lovely? She remembered us and make her greeting at the door. Seriously, I have never thought of a lecturer will have the time and heart to make this effort. It’s just… so.. touching. I can feel my existence in her heart and, be remembered and appreciated. That’s why, all my coursemates and I love her so much because she did so many things for us in the past 3 years, not just love on the door but on food, paper, movie and her teaching as well.

 

  I am her supervisee for academic research (thesis). That’s why my name is there =D

 

I will remember our Pizza Day, Movie Day, Art Day and Make-Up Day for the rest of my life. She is so generous, loving and wise. I bet, everyone in the class, even my junior agree with my statement. I am telling the truth~

 

I promise myself that one day, when I am an educator, I want to care and love my students like my Dr. Diana. Never be ego so that I am able to understand and learn from my students. That’s a piggy promise I make for myself.

 

 

Thank you Dr. Diana for your love not just at the door but in the air too. I will see you on the stage tomorrow!

P/s: My convocation is tomorrow afternoon at  UM. I can’t believe that the BIG DAY is arriving! If you can come, do let me know =D

 

Love,

Taio Cruz, Arthur and Us.

Before writing any further, there is something I wanna confess – that.. that.. Initially, I didn’t know who Taio Cruz is. Ya, like seriously serious!

 

Until, one fine morning after I read his name on the Arthur’s Day poster, I took the initiative to google his name to learn about him. To my ultimate surprise, I’d actually known him for quite some times. He is the one who sang ‘Break My Heart’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Dynamite’!!!

 

He' is Taio Cruz!

 

Oh dear. How could I not knowing him? Those songs are my favorite.

 

But of course, I know who he is by now since I am writing about Taio Cruz who came to Arthur’s Day event in Malaysia with photos and video clip somemore. Sorry to Taio Cruz’s fans who get annoyed with my previous ignorance (sorry Calv..) --- *knock my head*

 

There was a competition running on at Churp Churp and I am lucky enough to win a pair of exclusive tickets from them (thank you so much!) to the Arthur’s Day 2011 at KL Speed City last Friday (23rd Sept 2011). I still remember how Calv screamed in happy tears when I told him about the tickets on the phone. He was so excited and thrilled with the idea of meeting his favorite artist: Taio Cruz. That moment was when I learned that my boyfriend’s is a fans, A BIG FANS of Teh O Ice. Em.. I mean, Taio Cruz… =P

 

Taken with my phone the moment I got the tickets – thus the blur.

 

We went to the event in black, like what it stated on the dress code. Haha.. well we did some preparation days before the event like finding the best, black attire (since both of us don’t own much black garments), learned about the artists who will perform for the event and also the location. Calv was the one who did most of the research job as he wants both us to enjoy the event to the fullest. Ahhww… he’s so considerate :)

 

So, here are some of the photos during the event. By the way, the crowds were crazy! It was reported by the Hitz.fm crew that there were almost 20K people turned up for the event.

 

7.30pm

I didn’t aware that Kate (blogger) was standing just next to me as the place suddenly ran out of electrical supply and it was dark, until I transferred all the photos to my computer.

Calv acting cute =P

  He called himself villain in FB. Lol..

Me and Arthur’s Day.

The 20K crowds.

 

Seriously, the Arthur’s Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur was phenomenal! I couldn’t resist myself from singing and dancing my heart out when the place was filled with R&B music, good sound system and professional MC from hitz.fm. Just that, my heels made all the moves hard to be made. I actually regretted for wearing my black with leopard prints heels to the event. I thought my legs can support my body from 7pm – 1am and I was wrong, terribly wrong. That’s where mum and bf’s advices make sense.

 

The concert started with the play from the DJs. Warm up.

 

What to do, heels have always become an icon for pretty look since many centuries ago. It has been conditioned into our minds. I’ve learned my lesson: Never wear heels to concert. Anyway, all we gotta do now is to appreciate this post and enjoy all the photos and video I took – for the worth of the numbness and muscles pain of my legs. what the egg =P

 

Here are some of the R&B artists whom I was able to capture. It is hard for me to snap night photo. So, here are my best shoots.

 

Besides Taio Cruz who are the main attraction of the event, Mizz Nina, Soler, DJ Skeletor, Prema Yin, Dragon Red and Kartel were there. They were awesome and bring ‘hotness’ to that night.

 

Calv and I both agree that Soler are handsome and charming, while Mizz Nina is hot with her voice and dance. Our hearts were stolen by them with their talents.

 

Mizz Nina’s performance – Sexy is my name. Sexy is my name

She was being interviewed by the hitz.fm DJs after the performance.

Soler! I hope I can take a closer photo of them.

 

We cam-whore once in a while in between of performances.

  This was when Taio Cruz almost appear – about 11.30pm
My legs almost wanna break liao.. :(

Guess, he doesn’t want everyone to suffer so he finally appear from underground. Lol..

  The event ended after Taio Cruz performed his last song, Dynamite. Everyone was shouting his name, asking for anchor but… no more jor. It ended with all the artists lining on stage.

  Calv who was already exhausted and dehydrated at the end of the performance. Same case with me. I was so thirsty and dying for water.

 

We couldn’t walked out from the crowds during the event because we were standing very close to the stage. We didn’t want to loss our perfect view, plus it’s already hard to move out. So, both of us fast for that 6 hours. It’s worth it for Taio Cruz and this video.

 

Must watch ok? You can feel how lively it was during the event. Everyone was singing together with him – including me! The aura.. it’s marvelous! Enjoy the clip =)

 

 

I am glad to see him as excited as I was. It was our first time attending live music event together and the experience was  superb!

 

P/s: Again, thanks Churp Churp and Calv for the wonderful and memorable day~

P/s/s: I believe the real reason of my pure enjoyment of this event is because of the person I go with :)

Count On Me

I remembered I used to write a lot of friendship post in these 4 years+ of blogging experiences, and I am glad that I can add another gratitude post again for my best buddies.

 

I always believe that friends come for a reason(s) whether they are sent to cheer up your life, or break your heart into pieces or mend your broken heart – every one of them for sure, is arranged teaching you important lesson about you and life.

 

I am thankful and grateful that I have a bunch of wonderful friends who are always there for me. This is what I called ‘blessing in disguise’. Thank God for the wonderful presents. I ask  no more.

 

From the left (2011) : May, Bei Shan, June, Me and Shu Huan.

Notes: Not to forget YOU too =)

 

Here is my dedication to all my best buddies who have gone through ups and downs with me throughout the years. You guys rockz and I love you so much. Please stay and keep in touch alright? =)

 

A song for you, my dear angelic friends:

 

Count On Me – Bruno Mars.

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need.

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I'm needed
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do.

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need.

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I'm needed
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do.

 
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry.
I'll never let go, never say goodbye
You know you can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there
And I know when I'm needed
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you.

 

 

P/s: I love you my dear friends. Muacks =D

Love Comes When You’re Ready

I was touched listening to my friend’s latest update last night, about her new love journey with a potential guy.

 

She cheerfully said,
“Kelly, I am really happy. Really.”

 

Well, I am not just happy because of her discovery of new love story, but also to be able to see her smile and getting excited again for love and life. There is nothing happier than knowing my friend is enjoying her life and counting blessing each day. That’s such a wonderful news!

 

It reminds me of my own experiences on the decision of finding my own happiness again, not just solely focusing on the search of Mr. Right of course. Before Mr. Right, you have to be Mrs Right, meaning that you have to focus and nurture your own needs first before giving your attention to others. (Related post: Experiences Are The Best Teacher)

 

That explains in Abraham Maslow’s Theory on his Maslow Hierarchy of Needs where we need to fulfill the most fundamental levels of needs before aiming for a higher stage (from psychological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization). If the basic is not nurtured and fulfilled, the feeling of emptiness and lost take place and you will be demotivated in reaching higher goals. That’s why in Counseling, client is encouraged to understand and work on his/hers needs before focusing on the bigger issue.

 

Cherish every single moment you have. Owned it.

 

That’s what I can see in my friend now. She has stopped her attempt in searching for the right guy. Instead, she left her old scars behind, start focusing on herself by watching her diet, groom herself, have fun with friends and enjoy doing things that she love. In the end of the day, it seems like the ‘right guy’ comes, knocking her door, waiting her to welcome him in to her life… *wink*

 

I feel life is miraculous. Don’t you feel so?
It keeps on giving hopes to people who believe that there is light in the end of every tunnel.


For instance, when you thought that all good guys (girls) are dead and you have no hope in finding one after so many attempts, God thoughtfully choose the right one, put him/her into a box, wrap it carefully with your favorite present paper, finalize it with a ribbon and carefully deliver it to your house. He even rang the door bell before he left the present. Haha.. I know it sounds so much like a children story where you find your present under your Christmas Tree in the next morning. Well, that’s how I visualize my friend’s and mine situation… =P

 

My ‘present’ under the Christmas Tree =D

 

I truly believe in this blog post title, where ‘love comes when you are ready’. Also, love happens when you start to love yourself before sharing it with others.. =)

 

If you have something to share about your love journey, please share with us. I truly believe that every chapter of love and relationship is a gift for self-discovery and personal growth. Write to me at curryegg1[@]gmail.com.

 

I’m listening to:

 

P/s: Always believe that there is light in the end of the tunnel. Have faith =)

沒有你怎麼辦.

Lately, I have come across with a Chinese song and find it very meaningful with the song lyrics and animation in the video clip. It touched my heart, making me to think of my family and people who are dearest to me.

 

How do I live without you? (沒有你怎麼辦?)

 

Frankly, I don’t know and I think, I am not yet prepared.
The only thing which I am praying to God, is to wish wish that I am able to live every moment with them with happiness. I do agree with the lyrics that love helps us to grow and becoming a better person. Thank you for being part of my growing process. I love you.

 

A simple song which I want to share with you. Hope you enjoy this clip.

Simple Effort Creates Simple Happiness

Yesterday, I have earned a lesson that a simple thing can create simple happiness. So real, so genuine. In fact, I know this simple fact of life. Just, it feels so good to experience it, again by myself (instead of reading and listening from others).

 

More than often, we are so paralyzed with the idea of getting the latest, best, branded stuff in town to make people around us happy. Example, like getting them a pair of Jimmy Choo's shoes, hot-selling LV bag, expensive 5 stars restaurant, Audi R8, iPhone or etc. Thank to the power of advertisement that work so well in creating such a picture in our minds. It is sounds like, if you don’t have them, you are not happy.

 

Well, I did think so. I feel that if only if I can get stuff with certain standard and criteria, only I am able to  impress and make them happy. That is why, I always have this desire to earn the best amount of money so that I am able to pamper my loved ones someday, including my parents, partner, friends and siblings.

 

I thought I am not capable of creating any happiness in others at the moment, because I do not have strong buying power. After yesterday incident, my thought has changed.

 

It is all because of the bowl of mee suah soup I made and the precious smile I received that have enlighten my mind. It touches my heart and unconsciously teaching me the meaning of real happiness with minimal involvement of money, but with great amount of care and love.

 

Not the one I made but look something like this. Photo from link.

 

This has reminded me of all the people whom have treated me well throughout my 24 years including my grandmas, parents, aunties, uncles, siblings, teachers and friends. Each and every effort they have made for me, like making meals for me so that I won’t get hungry, provide me shelter so that I can have a place call home, accompanying me with jokes so that I can laugh when I am feeling down, punishing me so that I know what is right and wrong, and fetching me to school so that I can have a promising future.

 

These small little efforts are what actually making me happy all these while, and not those shinning bags, silky dress or cool gadget. And, I am happy that I can actually instill happiness in others too with my simple effort.

 

Just a scene of seeing someone you love, sipping noodles joyously, enjoying every drop of homemade soup and ending the meal with a smile of satisfaction makes me happy. As simple as that with no condition apply. I am grateful to own such a beautiful moment at an unexpected hour… =P

Now I understand why my aunt, grandma and dad enjoy cooking. Because, it can be an addiction to receive another priceless expression again, and again. And I am good in it too (cos I love food!).

 

Like this -----------------> =D

 

P/s: Btw, don’t get me wrong. Money is still an important element to sustain life. My point is, we don’t have to spend much to make someone happy. Forget about the price tag and look for sincerity and love.. =)

 

P/s/s: I have the urge to sing, “It’s not about the money, money, money, we don’t need your money, money, money, we just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tag” – Jessie J

Calvin Seet

Like I have promised in my previous post,  this is the man who has caught my heart and making me to believe in love and happiness again. His name is Calvin.

He is my loyal blog reader, as well as twitter follower. Well, I hope he still is… Now, I wonder what will be his reaction when he discover this post. Haha.. No idea.. :)

It actually took me some times, considering whether should I make my love life visible in the blogosphere. Thinking, should I introduce him publicly? And, shall I share some of our stories? Well, I am a type of person who used to be private with my love life where I rarely post up things online about my partner because I don’t want my relationship to be affected, especially by others’ judgment (in fact, I’m still a private person as I care my relationship more). For me, love relationship is a special bonding between two persons who commit for each other. There shouldn’t be other party to interfere the relationship, not other than the couples themselves.

That’s why, you rarely read about my love stuff back then. This time, I found another perspective over this matter. Probably I have found a new lens for my dslr (eyes). Lol.. cold joke.

I am thinking things come and go, as well as human. No one is permanent in this life. We will die one day. Sorry if you are sensitive with the word ‘dying’ but then, it is still a fact of life. We will die one day. Instead of worrying ‘what if’, wouldn’t it be better to cherish every moment using various method – like blog them out here and keep them as good memories? Well, this is my way =)

 

I realize that no matter how much precaution I take, how much worries I inserted in, if things are meant to happen, they will still happen. We can plan and control things, but the results are in God’s hand. I guess, my life experiences have taught me this lesson – to reduce my ‘worrywarts syndrome’. Well, call me a Virgo.

 

So, I have invented a new approach of life. I want to be more expressive. Besides, I wanna record down my happy and memorable moments as a sign of gratitude towards others’ love and blessing. At the same time, I wanna create more exciting and meaningful life. Well, how many life do we have? One and the only one. Probably you might interested with this approach. You can head over to old post on Counseling Theory for Existentialism.

 

I don't know is this a sign of growth or just a small change. Anyway, my main objective here is to appreciate and treasure every blessed moment which I’ve gained, together with the person(s) whom I cared and loved. So ya, I admit. I wanna share my moment with him and he will appear more often in my blog starting from today (in fact, he has already appeared in my blog since some times ago. Well Calv, should I be loved more?) =P

So my dear reader, this is Calvin Seet.

 

 

Calvin is an adventurous person, just like me. We appreciate good music, nice food, beautiful scenery, quality time with family & friends and most importantly, time together. I am still considering myself as a lucky person. Why? It’s my secret. shhhhh… =)

May our relationship grow stronger and lovable each and everyday. God bless

 

P/s: I Love You.

Forget The Past. Look Into The Future

“Forget the past. Look into the future. A brighter road is waiting for you” – Calv Seet.

 

It is a simple quote which many of us will come across if we are found to be dwelling in the past for too long. I remembered there was a day where I was extremely disappointed over my final semester result. I am so close to achieve the desire result – like another 0.01?

 

Egg-it.

 

I was in dilemma whether should I request for remarking as there will be risk in losing the mark which I used to have. After giving a deep consideration and seeking for trustable advices, I give it a try but submitting a remark form to the office and waited.

 

There was drama in between. I was worried and stressed while waiting for things to end.

 

After 3 weeks, a letter was received and well… the board has decided to remain the mark. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that sad or upset anymore though it means that I’ve lost the chance of applying for attractive RM5000 rewards, a cert and the opportunity to continue PHD straight away. Well, I believe there are reasons for everything. I believe God has better plans for me. The material stuff which I used to want so badly is no longer important because, I have found something even more ‘breathtaking’ – something money can’t buy. Love.

 

Most importantly, I have tried to fight for my right and do things for myself. Thus, living no regret in future.

 

I am a person who will look into the past once in awhile to find if there is anything I can gain for my personal growth. The highlight is: I don’t like repeating the same mistake. Thus, learning from history is somehow important for me.  But, I will not let past interrupt my current life because, past is past. There is nothing we can change.

 

So, thank Calv for your original quote. I have found a suitable picture to instill the quote. Thank Mac for finding me a good angle =)
