Happy 2nd Birthday My Red Bean Romance

The day I created you, I knew that my life would be miserable and messed up to the max. My so-called Red Bean Romance was exactly how I depicted it to be, so I'm not complaining. I also kinda fathomed that the contents I posted in you wouldn't be as pink and cute as the layout but I kept the theme anyways so that I can come to you looking for solace and comfort (and hopefully my mood is colour coordinated with yours). At least, you don't answer back and judge me, and always made me feel like my rants made some sense if any.

Tragic birthdays? 4 so far make it to the list, don't wanna talk about the first 3. This year, dad's sick. 

Why do bad things happen, I will never know, and I don't care to figure out anymore. I thought, if its God's will dad recovers, he'll recover even if we don't openly ask for it but for some reason God doesn't wanna heal, even if the whole country prays, tragedy is still unavoidable. Like his last operation. Everyone prayed like crazy, but it didn't work out as hoped. Then we'll just wonder, did we not pray and have faith enough and end up beating ourselves over it.

Mebbe I've been hurt too much, I don't want to have a 101% expectation that he will get well and not be prepared for the worst. Coz that would be the time it'll hit me x10 the damage. I wish to not be hit off balance if anything happens. No, it's not that I don't believe in God's miracles. I just don't have the energy to cry, beg, plead and stress and be expected to have more energy to swallow the universal grief and disappointment when he chooses omission.

Sometimes I think, why does it seem so easy to die, but somehow me myself, I don't make it? A lot of people just drop and pass on. Even like Po, poof, gone. Even though we expect it coming, we don't expect it coming.
 
Budak says, everyday we just attach excuses which hinder us from doing what we really wanna do. Like we hang around home because we make excuses that our family needs us. There's a lingering choice that we could actually just get up and leave and they would just have to deal with it. Then maybe at that moment, we realize that they didn't need us as much as WE thought they did.

I always thought that, if Po is gone, my bane of existence disappears too. I dealt it for nearly a year, lingering on always hoping that something phenomenal would happen to change my life to the better, PERMANENTLY. I don't think it exists, and I'm quite tired of waiting. I just live on temporary highs I create for myself, and to be thrown once more in hopelessness, rinse and repeat. I ask, what's the bloody point of life?! To go through this moronic cycle?

I don't think everyone has the power to forge their own destiny (like all those positive thinking books I read). I think they are called to it by divine intervention so if you're not the chosen one, then you're just doomed to banality. I ideally thought I could be someone special and so much effort and sacrifice was made in the process. Then at some point, I kinda think, actually I'm just a lazy person, being able to eat and sleep is good enough, why the hell am I always trying to humiliate myself by challenging destiny?

There I go again. Thanks for being with me nonetheless even though I'll admit that I wasn't the greatest blog mistress. I don't really believe I will become any more happier in the remnants of my life so please bear with me for whatever years that I have left.

Part of me wants to start life anew. Part of me is wishing for it to just end there.

My only comfort in life is knowing that there's an end to it.

Sincerely and sadly,
WK

My Birthday Wish 2010

Today, we finally bought our tickets to the UK. Possibly, we'll be dropping my mon cherie, Paris...

My crazy wish this year is to spend my birthday on the Eiffel Tower while eating ice cream from Berthillon (and if it isn't cold like crap, I'd be wearing Lolita again).

Something I drew after my first trip to Paris in 2007... An unfulfilled wish.

My Red Bean Romance Turns 1

...and I turn 2X.

Hohohohoho.

Firstly, thank you to family members, chikopeers, bbffs, bffs, college/uni/high school peeps for all the birthday wishes, pressies, cakes, blog posts, texts, surprises, plentiful food and making my day a special one. >3<

I woke up this morning and the first thing I stood in front of the toilet bowl and thought to myself that from today onwards, whatever sh*t in my life (past regrets, sadness, anger etc. of 2008) shall hereby be flushed away with my xxx. *flushes toilet* Today is the moment for me to let go of certain things and start my life anew. What a meaningful personal moment. LOLz.

The Tuesday Before I Left.

Each time I'm back in Ipoh, I get pestered a lot about whether or not I had 'Nga Choi Kai' (chicken noodles with beansprouts). So to annoy everyone back for annoying me...

Lou Wong Nga Choi Kai, I shall come invade you today.

My lil bro is ready with his Ultraman pose.

Sour Plum, Soya Bean, Lime, Longan... bla bla bla.

I'd drink anything that has longan inside anytime.

Meatballs, fishballs and those famous fat beansprouts.

Chicken feet, a delicacy that I feel disturbed to savour.

The tender, juicy chicken you can never find elsewhere.

And finally the noodles. And it is great because it's made with Ipoh water.
(which is unpolluted, unlike everywhere else ie. KL)

***

There was a pasar malam next to Lou Wong and being easily attracted to anything that glitters under spotlights and unfamiliar places, I had to go and discover what this night market has to offer. (Actually not much since it had only very few stalls.)

Shoes, I heart you. Especially when you're cheap and pretty.

Funky slippers are always in.

Lil bro being fascinated. Not towards jewelry, but why women all get attracted to them.

There's so much variety.

And you can't make up your mind over what to buy.

I heart RM10 wallets! They look quite authentic too!

More cheapo stuff.

Finally, something here manages to catch my lil bro's eye.

2 streets of stalls are nothing.

Yeah, true. I saw a lot of strange, bizarre objects that had questionable origins.

Chicken biscuits are one of the favourite souvenirs to be bought.

We walked to Popo's house which was across the road to pay her a visit.

My lovely relatives from UK got me a cake!

I was really glad that I managed to somehow celebrate my birthday with them. Btw, the cake was coffee flavoured and my brother and I went nuts over the cherries.

I Don't Want Flowers...

I don't want flowers for my birthday. Even though I would be ecstatic to receive them, and think that it would be awesome and grand to receive an enormous beautiful bouquet. Flowers, lovely as they are, last only a for a few days. Eventually, they'll wilt and I would feel horribly devastated to throw them away.
...I don't want flowers to represent the feelings between us. Exciting, intensed but short lived. So yes, don't get me flowers.

I'm really amazed that in the end, your choice of gift was that of 'time'.


Much time has slipped pass our fingers; wasted, cherished, forgotten, missed...

I truly hope that 'our time' may finally have its chance to start already...

At least, unlike flowers, I won't be able to tell when it may end.

The best gift was definitely not the watch. :)

Happy Birthday My Blog and I.

...

...

... (Good Gawd, I haven't blogged for aeons and I don't even remember how am I supposed to start a blogpost!)

*cough*

Hi everyone!~ I'm officially announcing the existence of my new blog today in conjunction with my buffdayze. (It wasn't pre-planned, but I just happened to drag it on until today). Thank you for those who nudged me on to post and the wait is now over! ;D What's there to expect here; a minimal amount of words save for the need of occasional ramblings/b*tching, plenty of events/art/food posts and oh-whatever-I-feel-like-it.
