As some of you know that I’ve been rushing for an assignment but a break was much needed. Here’s what I’ve been up to during the weekend.
Cam whoring with my beautiful garden while waiting for a friend to pick me up on fri. I then met up with Sherene and went home with her. It was a nice afternoon just relaxing and watching some movies. Thank you, Sherene and Emily for the wonderful time.
Then at night went for cg, and then to the Chan family house to stay over. Nice catching up with you Rach! And thank you the Chan family for your hospitality. Sorry for ‘kacauing' once in a while.. haha
Just look at the delicious American breakfast that rach’s mum made! An unforgettable breakfast!
And then we headed off to pyramid to a wedding exhibition.
First time seeing a GPS system actually working! Was quite fun playing around with it, and it is really helpful with the info of all locations.
We managed to catch the fashion show.
Prince charming and his princess
Look! That’s Xandria! I was so star struck! I wish I could go talk to her. I’m a big fan of her column. She’s a great writer.
Look at my 'boh geh' smile. Gosh! I've got to stop that kind of smile, my gums are showing! Ruin the whole pic!
After the fashion show, we were very lucky to get tickets for a movie at the very last minute. So happy to get the tickets at the booking counter, the lady was so nice to let us purchase the ticket. It was such a last minute thing. Thank you God! Hancock was a ok movie I think. Love the humour in it but not the story line.
Went to the Saturday service. Seldom get the chance to attend so it was a good service. Really enjoyed it. Had free dinner at church. Played taboo. Went home, watched another movie, sleep!
It’s a Sunday morning and I finally joined some of the Puchong cg members for their famous dim sum gathering. Was never a fan of dim sum though. I only like eating those fried stuff.
And after dim sum was time for me to go home. What a relaxing holiday for me, I somehow got a little more motivation from it to continue with my dreadful assignments.
One more week to go and I don’t think I’ll be able to finish this assignment! Aargh! Be more efficient! That’s not meant for me only…

I just went back to my secondary school to take my real SPM certificate. It’s like making a journey back to a past filled with many sweet and bitter memories as well.
What I was eager was to meet my teachers more than anything else. Among all teachers who taught me, I can remember is 2 of them who I really appreciate. So I was really hoping to meet them.
As I enter the staff room, I asked a teacher “ is Puan Norhafiza in?” She pointed to the women sitting beside her, my head turned towards her. It was her! Puan Norhafiza, my Biology teacher! She stood up and head towards me. I was happy to see her, and she too was happy that I still remember her. I never had the chance to tell her that she was indeed the best teacher during my secondary years. I remember that she somehow wanted us to set our target high, what she did to help us really motivated me.
She said “wah, I’m glad you still remember me ah!”
I said “Of course teacher! You are the best teacher I ever had!”
With a big smile she said “Thank You.”
And as usual they would ask what I am studying now. She taught I was Jed as I told her that I was doing design course and that my brother was doing engineering. As our conversation went on, she found out that I was the other twin! The serious one! Lol… not the playful one. She was shock that my bro actually went into engineering judging from his attitude. Well, we both just studied the opposite. Me who is a serious, more science inclined studying mind is taking an art course, where else my bro who is a playful/ can’t study much guy is taking the engineering course. So people who can’t differentiate us would always mistaken us with each other.
So we chatted for a while and I was satisfied that after a year plus, I finally get to meet her again, but my mission is not done yet. There is still one more! So I asked “where’s Puan Ng?”
She told me that Pn Ng has recently found out that she has got breast cancer. Quite serious and will be entitled to 2 years of medical leave. My heart just sank! What shocking news to hear. Pn. Ng apparently told other teachers not to visit her but only one of the teachers has seen her a few weeks ago since her absence.
I met up with my friends again after a little while more of chat with my beloved teacher. I just felt that I have to contact Pn. Ng to say hi as that’s what I came to do. I later got her hand phone number and went home to contact her.
I could feel the sadness in her voice. She was at a book store looking for books on cancer. At least I know she’s fighting it! She was pregnant with a son when I was in form 4, and now he’s 3 plus already. Somehow I don’t know why I just felt the sense of closeness to her over the years in secondary. I could feel that she dint wanted people to pity her. I hope I wasn't coming across that way, I just wanted to let her know that I haven't forgotten her.
But on the phone, it seems like she’s different now. I kept the conversation short as my questions towards her was done, she dint asked much about me, probably many things on her mind.
As I put down the phone, it feels awkward, sad…
God all mighty help her…
Hope I’ll bum into her and get to see her and speak to her again one fine day. Both of them…
