Who I Am

I was never the beautiful one
nor was I the smart one
I wasn't the kind and compassionate one
nor was I the patient one
I was never the funny one
nor was I reliable
I was never the sporty one
Nor was I a gamer

Not in my family
not among my friends

So, it got me wondering
Who I Am
exactly?

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Blog officially undead, unfroze and up & running.

So, I recently moved back to my previous home. And while I was packing and unpacking, I discovered several pictures that I thought too good to be left alone in a box or a photo album. So, I scanned those few pictures and decided to share with everyone.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the following pictures.

This is my amazing and beautiful Mother and her firstborn, me.

This over here is me and my newly-born brother.

My little brother and I. Aren't we adorable?

My beautiful Mother and I

Who's this pretty little thing? It's my little brother. Long story. :)

Last, but not least the cute little Chiau Sim from way back then. :)

It's been so long and these pictures brought a smile to face when I saw them. Most of them I can't remember when they're taken, but they dear to me just the same.

As you can see, I've decided to not update my blog anymore until further notice.

If you want updates on what I'm doing, how I'm doing or just anything about me, go to:

My Twitter (I update there frequently)

or

My Facebook (for pictures and events)

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong,
and no one understands you.

I suddenly felt like this is the soundtrack of my life.

It is now 2am on the 17th of January.

I just spent 2 hours of tossing and turning on my bed before I finally give up and decided to do something else until my dear ol' friend, Sleep, decided to pay me a visit.

I caught my self reminiscing about my life before the whole fiasco. About how I would move back into my home. About how I'm going to decorate my room when it happens. How I'll try to fight with my brother to get the bigger room. How I'll improvise if I got the smaller room instead. How going to college might be easier. How I wouldn't have to worry about having no parking for the Kelisa on the days where I got to drive it. How it'll be more convenient to hang out with both friends from the college and from the high school.

It all started when I told Mom about a dream I had a few days ago. When she told me that she had been considering it, it just set my brain off. The wheels are turning and the hopes are building.

I just hope it won't come crashing down.

I hope in the near future, it will happen.

And I hope, Sleep will come to me soon.

No Boundaries

Just a short 3 days, a new semester would start. The Spring semester of year 2010.

This year is gonna be yet another challenge to my life. Like I read before somewhere, it is another chapter in a book I call "My Life".

I'm gonna challenge myself more this year. To be a better family member, friend, confidante, student, secretary, etc. In the nutshell: I want to be a better person.

"Do not lower your goals to the level of your abilities. Instead, raise your abilities to the height of your goals"

This is a quote I found in the 2010 planner that I had and I thought it was really meaningful. I'm gonna set it as my guide this year.

As the song say: No Boundaries. :) This is the Adam Lambert's version though. I know it's so outdated of me, but I really got to know about this one today. Oops. Though I love Kris Allen's version, I prefer this one. There is just so much more energy here and it kinda send the message across.

It's Ugly

yet, I couldn't help it.

Looking Forward to A Brand New Year

It is kind of sad to say goodbye to "2009". It seemed like just yesterday that I was at the countdown to 2009, but in a blink of an eye, I'm saying hello to "2010".

To me, "2009" is very meaningful. There are so many things happening: some gains, some loss. But all in all, I've learned something from everything. Friendship bonds. Family getting tighter. It is a year to remember.

To my HeeheeHaahaa family members, the past year had been a roller coaster ride. There are ups and downs, but it didn't stop us from living our lives. I'm glad and thankful that we had each other for support and that we are practically minutes away from each other.

To my crazy KiSiao-ians, you guys are like my second family. In a place where I spent most of my time (SCSJ), you guys are the one who accompany me through it all. Thank you very much for all the memories that we had created together. It is wonderful that we had created so many memories together and thanks to you, my college life was never dull.

But of course, life goes on... It's not good to keep dwelling on the past, we have a life to live!

I hope that "2010" would be a better year. With healthier and happier lives.

I really look forward to a great year along with my family and friends. Let us go through yet another year filled with joy and fun!

Happy New Year
2010

Love,
Chelsie

The "F-word" is in the Air!

No no people, it's not the F-word. The F-word I mean is...

FREEDOM!

Yes, it's so close, I can almost taste it!

I'm so sorry to the other who haven't get the taste of their own freedom, but please allow me to bask in my freedomness! Awesome!

The Mayonnaise Jar

Got an interesting email from a friend today and I decided to share with you guys:

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

13.10.09

(I'm getting tired of thinking of a title for my posts. So, unless it's important/special, I will just stick to using the date)

Had a brief encounter with someone today.
And it just make me so happy. And slightly giddy.
It's just that something so trivial that I had said before was remembered.

WOW~

I thought we were just acquaintances, but then when it was mentioned, I felt like... wow~ 'Never thought you would remember that'

Thank you~ for making my day!

Padan Muka

Today I just had my hopes up and then BOOM! crash down again.

URGH

Well, serves me right anyway.

I'd already made up my mind, so I should stick to it, right?

LOH CHIAU SIM

Learn from today.

Stick to your decision.

c2pid

That's the word that I'm going to use to describe the new time slot in college.

At first, I was quite happy with the change. With the class starts at 8.30am, I wouldn't have to wait too long for classes to start as I usually arrive at college quite early in the morning (mostly 7-7.15am). So, while my friends are complaining about the time slot when we found out before the holidays, I was secretly rejoicing.

But now...

Stupid time slot...

Just realized last night while I was chatting with my dearest Jess that we don't have a single class in common for the next semester. While that is actually quite common, since we're don't have the same majors, but it was Ok before because we have at least one hour lunch break together to hang out.

But now... because of the

Stupid time slot...

We don't really have time to hang out. If we do, then it's only half an hour tops. >.< Not only Jess, of course, I couldn't hang out with the whole gang also, as they had different timetable. What's worst is that when I had the slot free, they will be having class and vice versa. =.=

Seems like the only time that we can hang out together is at night, which of course, I won't be able to attend.

T.T

Will definitely miss hanging out with everyone.

Stupid Time Slot (Tagline of the semester)

A Little Bit Longer

Got the news today doctor said I had to stay
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
When I thought it'd all been done
When I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer and I'll be fine

But you don't know what you got until it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know

All this time goes by, still no reason why
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
Waiting on a cure but none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I'll be fine

But you don't know what you got until it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know

But you don't know what you got until it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, yeah, whoa, yeah
You don't even know

So I'll wait 'til kingdom come
All the highs and lows are gone
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
I'll be fine

A Little Bit Longer

Something to NOT look forward to...

The weekend is here again...

Which meant that I have to work, again...

Which meant that I have to stand for nine hours...

Which also meant that I have to deal with bloody baka Guardian people, again...

Don't really look forward to it... but heck, I know there's something to look forward to, PAYDAY!

So, I will BEAR with the dreadful weekends. I WILL!!!

BTW, spent the whole day watching "Boys Over Flowers"-Korean version
It was the best among all the other versions.
The main character in this is soooooo much better looking than the Taiwan version.
*hint hint*
(Jess, I'm obviously talking about Jerry Yan!)

haters=not cool

I was just browsing Youtube, watching videos. And of course, while waiting for the video to load, i skimmed through the comments. While there are some comments that adores the singers/models/actors, there are some that are just plain rude and totally unwanted.

Hello, who are you people to judge others?

So what if someone dresses too over the top/revealing? -It's their choice to do so and if they are confident wearing them and there's no harm to anybody, who are you to place a comment?

So what if someone did a cover of the song and they didn't sound as good as the original? - At least they have the guts to try.

So what if someone do not know how to act? - They can learn to get better. At least better than someone who just sit there and typed their comments like a coward.

Some may say that everyone have the rights to voice out their opinions, true, but does it have to be voiced out so viciously? Aren't there a better way to get the point across without hurting people's feelings?

Like what I had read from an email today:

You can always apologize for the things that you said, but you can never fix the scar that you left behind for the things that you had said. It doesn't matter if it's said intentionally or not, the scars will always remain.

a strand of my thoughts

What I Like About...

my life (so far)

-I really had nothing to update about and since my dear friend Jessica demanded an update, I had to come up with something-

1. I have a great family - despite the ups and downs, I love my family. I see those situations as a challenge to strengthen the bonds of my family. Though we have the occasional slip-ups (stupid asshole of a brother, for example, oops!), I know that we love each other very much. Even if someone didn't express it well (eherm, a-hole of a brother, eherm)

2. I have a great group of friends - yes, it's time for you all to kembang. *roll eyes* savor it, it is one of the rare times that I will say it out loud. I might physically abuse you guys (sorry Jess, JoJo) or I might annoy you guys to hell with my non-stop chattering (sorry everyone!), I love you guys. I know my life wouldn't be the same without you guys in it.

KiSiao-ians, Convent girls, Viva La 5E!

I L O V E YOU!

3. I lead a meaningful college life, in my opinion. I go to class, I have outside-class activities (SC and occasionally with FH) and I paid serious attention to my studies. =)

The thing is, do I want my life to be a little bit peaceful? Not so many events to organize, only go to college for classes? Somehow, that wasn't my life. It wasn't how I see myself. As what JoJo said, "Jian"

I love you, Izzy!

Let's give a very warm welcome to the newest addition to my family...

Nikki's distant cousin, Izzy!

Welcome to the Family!

a gift from Mommy!

THE Day

Today is THE Day.

Tonight is the SCSJ's Prom Night: Midsummer Night's Dream.

Finally, after a few months of preparations, all our hard work will finally show itself tonight at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel's Manhattan Ballroom II @ 7.30pm. (The doors are open @ 6.30pm, guests are welcomed to register at that time and there will be free flow of cocktails and tidbits for you all)

Fingers crossed that everything will go on smoothly!

And for everyone to have a wonderful night at the prom!

That aside, JoJo and I slept over at Jess house last night and there are a few funny moments: completely hilarious and idiotic at the same time. Will post that in another time. Look forward to that.

Another reason for this post is that I need to share this video with you guys. JoJo recommended it to me (whom was recommended it by her beloved Abu)



This is Chris Daughtry version of the unplugged version of Lady GaGa's Poker Face. It's a complete WOW. (Take that, Victor!)

Off to get ready for the Prom,
Chelsie
