she went up & met Him

life had been a roller coaster ride this week...

been thinking too much...

am I not?

fret not?

i think i am.

seriously 'lil too much....

about 12 hours ago....

received call from mom

her voice was calm, thought she wanted to ask about me moving house

sad news came

grandma just passed away in LamWahEe Hospital

*i was speech-less*

did not know what to answer her...

I asked, "should i go back to Penang?" (yes, silly me)

ofcourse, come back.

your cousin will be coming back too, you can follow him, contact him.

i was not really expecting her death would be so soon.

just before CNY, my mom told me my grandma had admitted to hospital for Nose, Mouth & Throat (NMT) cancer.

It was spread from her breast cancer, which she had an operation about a year ago.

doctor mention she should be able to live for more years..

but before all these she had a heart by-pass... a severe operation... there's surgical marks from her ankle all the way up to her body... that's where the doc got her vain to reconnect the blocked vain in her heart.. *complicated huhh*, yes it is..

my mom told me, her heart was weak and all these was expected, but doctor say she had another year to go...

but we were all quite prepared... the whole family came together for my grandpa's birthday on the 2nd day of CNY... all except my 3rd uncle & family could not make it because of work... (blame work) =.=;

5 big tables... all family members & a pastor & his wife...

*as my grandpa have got 3 brothers & their families*

- as we would had guess, that's be one of the last few birthday my grandparents could celebrate together..

everyone was busy snapping photos with them both.. yes, include my family...

believed they were happy as well...

when my mom called, i was having my brunch with luyi (the pork burger we've been waiting long)...

i told her the news..

the past 3 death news i heard.. i was with eve. yes, all 3 times.. i was with my best friend...

(maternal side: my 4th uncle, my great grandma & my grand uncle)

this time i was with luyi... thanks friend by being on my side...

- supposingly today i've got no mood to go out at all.. and since i've back to online, i could have stayed home... but my tummy was hungry.. so i went out to meet her for pork burger...

it was great i was with a close friend when my mom broke the news... i think i would have not able to take it strong if i were to be home-alone in the house...

we then headed up to the sofas to online...

after much attempt, i managed to get hooked to the net.

send out a few emails.

called current owner to change move out date

called agent to delay collect keys for new place..

i think i was a bit too shocked & was not really thinking straight..

settled this weekend Raleigh activities..

then headed home to pack. i need to leave KL by tonite..

opt for bus, cheapest & nearest & most convenient

Puduraya had closed down.

buses to Penang had moved to Perhentian Duta.. super near to my place.. =)

packing took me awhile..

i believe i started a little trauma about it then...

what to pack?

where are my stuff? (i've packed most of them into boxes to move house)

aarrgghhhh... was all stressed up... but i need to do this fast..

got all into my 34L deuter

shut down lappie, grab lappie

head down

luyi arrived dah..

she send me to Perhentian Duta.

got my ticket @ 7pm

called luyi, told her i've got tix, she can head home.. *just incase i can't get & got stranded there... thQ luyi*

guy told me 7:30pm - OK

had little dinner, can't be too full, will easily kena motion sickness.

waited. waited. waited.

but finally arrived @ 8:07pm

threw my deuter in the luggage compartment

went up to grab a seat.

had to seat next to an indian... *ish, his smell was the whole journey*... beh ta han lor !!!

but too bad.. the next available seat is way too back, i will easily kena motion sickness again..

*yes, that's how easy i can get..*

keluarkan my sleeping equipments: neck rest, eyes cover & sarong *all time fav*

managed to catch an hour of sleep

kemudian clock shows 9:00pm

tutup mata with eyes cover, managed to close eyes & buka saw clock shows 9:32pm

arrghhhhh when can i arrive Penang ??

i can't sleep at ALL !!!!

rarely of my bus trips PG-KL or KL-PG i feel such...

many visuals came across my mind...

my grandma.. my family.. my friends....

my death... my life....

i went all emo-ed in the bus & looking back at times of my life...

not so worried over mom about this..

but could not really imagine what's next

finally arrived Penang at 1am+...

bus driver was going slow & steady til after Bukit Merah...

as there was a road block before Bukit Merah.. lolx...

but still driving safe..

dad came to picked me up...

could smell instantly once i open the door..

the whole car smelled like a hospital..

arrived home 1am++... was super duper hungry.. almost kena gastric dah..

saw sis watching TV, dad terus masuk tidur, mom greeted me..

as expected she's still doing fine..

terus went to fridge to grab food..

nothing but 'Raleigh's infamous crackers'... which i still have got LOADS in my KL house =(

makan with MILO...

nice... still cannot tahan & online..

received many wishes from friends & family via FB & some sms-es...

the word spread fast... i posted up on FB & my mom juga dah rcv SMS-es from more people which she was wondering how they knew about the news.. thanks to FB for the fast media.. =)

till we meet again in heaven,

good bye grandma...

your lovely grand-daughter

1 Malaysia

one day at work, I receive some emails regarding 1 Malaysia from Eve... and suddenly i had the urged to write a pantun... thanks to Eve to had copied it down wrote on my FB wall..
as a remembrance i could still able to write such.. i must pen it down in my virtual log... >.<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Berbagai bangsa, berbilang kaum...
1 Malaysia Mungkin adalah impian kepada sesetengah
Melaksanakan atau Menjadikan ia sesuatu Kejadian
Ianya adalah mimpi yang mereka mengharapkan

Untuk aku,
Negaraku tidak lagi perlu aku hidup berperangan
Hidupku berharmoni Hidupku aman berdamai
Setakat dapat aku
Mengelilingi dunia satu kali
Tapi aku tamak, dua kali baru cukupi,
Begitulah impiannya aku.

"Your fave teachers? "

and there've got lots to share.. so i typed all the teachers which came across my mind... sorry i have miss out a few... okay.. a lot.. mana can ingat all wor..

6 years (primary) x 7 = 42
5 years (sec) x 12 = 60

below are some of my comments on them...
- if so happy u're one of my teacher is reading this... *this was how i felt la dulu-dulu, students ma.. dont take it too serious kay*


Miss Teoh - is the the super long hair teacher which always tie her hair in a bun ?? wears cheong sam to school and can marah students with her super loud voice... she's pretty.

pn woo. - hated & love her. all books, pencil boxes and rough pads must be in place before she steps into class. she even made one of my classmate denda to stand, she fainted after 10 minutes (since then, no more standing for more than 10 minutes.. haha).. yes, my whole class all got A except one with a B.. which is pretty great job.

ms sharon khoo - she teaches me science is lower Sec (cant remember which), she'd retired & now attending my church in pg - and my mom knows here... >.<

miss su, miss her soooo much... my sewing skills was from her class... her sudden death was a shocked to more than 1000 students, ex students, teachers & ex-teacher.. (her funeral was attended by more than 1000 people)...

miss leong - she was my Add Maths teacher, wearing clothes not more then 3 times each piece (except those super nice ones... she'll wear them atleast 10).... last heard she was the discipline teacher now... (gurjeet... i've no idea)..

maureen au.. retired for good... i witnessed she knock a student's head (skull) with her knuckles and it was super loud during Rumah Emas practice... eeee.... (she's living happily with her husband in Island Glades)

ms chan was the greatest headmistress anyone would have.. she could actually remember almost all the student's name & would greet us (students) good morning before we even get to open our mouth... *stunning* with her Ms Chan-glorious-ness in CLS.... - last heard she was the timetable scheduler in INTI penang.... (yes, she used to personally schedule all our whole school's timetable back in CLS during her years.. *keng*....

ms yeoh (any remember) ? my std 1 maths teacher... sekurus lidi... always hit student's knuckles with a wooden ruler...

pn. yeoh ( std 6 science teacher) - she fainted when she's pregnant in class while teaching us in science lab... (she was seating down then tiba-tiba jatuh).... scary...

pn Linda - last seen/heard - she drives a sports car to school

pn ang - my standard 1 form teacher.. miss her lots too !!!... last seen her on the roads in penang, she still dress the same... haha...

pn. loh - std 4 maths teacher in school but i she was my tuition teacher too.. ;)

en. lye... - is he " teacher who always sprinkle "Holy Water" from the mouth" ?? hahaha... was my classmates date.. when we visit her @ her house, we still call him Mr. Lye...

En Ismail - my F2 BM teacher... can tiba-tiba berpantun & puisi in class one... (really hymn/sing them out 1 le)

en naranthiran - dont really like him F2 geography - not much memories of him

miss quah - she's the only teacher i know was once a student in CLS too... *she'll always tell us stories about her teachers, which are then nuns... jokes they make (then she's a student) about their teacher nuns, what do u see when their teacher falling down a hill... "rolling penquins".. haha... (was lame la)

pn cheong - F1 maths teacher.. fond to receive CNY cards fr students.. to bodek, just give her CNY cards, ofcourse during CNY la.. u can see her trying-to-hide smile... haha..

pn cheok - F4 & 5 history - tells great stories but none get into my head...

pn. lee low chun - miss her... dark blue & blue green suit..... the last time i visited school & saw her, she'd white hair... (some la)... did talk to her.. still sound the same.. she was saying, as tho we had just went into F1 again.. time flies... =.=


they've all rainbow-ed my colistrian life... ;)
= my wonderful years in CLS 1998 - 2002 =
~ a chance celebrated the sesquicentennial years of CLS !!!! ~

2 policemen came to my house...... « ¤ p 0 o h ¤ »

THAT was my yesterday's MSN nick:

pertama...
-thank you to all my friends which did concern about me...

apa terjadi sebenarnya?

i was as usual, sitting in my corner, online...
as my corner is juz right next to my house door
i heard foot steps..
at this hour?? about 4:00pm on Saturday..
both my parents are at home
sis at work
we are not expecting any guess...

i turn around and saw 2 police officer walking towards my house ....

*my mind went black*

i was thinking hard... did i did something wrong?
speeding? ~ that was what i could think off... LOL...
- but i memang been ikuting the speed limit...
- should be tak mungkin... (this possibility)

I panggil my parents..
"Mi, yau char lou lei"

They tak dengar me @ first...
Not until I walk out and greed the police... huahahaha..
funny le..
ada police datang ke rumah cari....
*always see in TVB series, police knock on house doors,
but tak pernah saya experience*
*heart beats ... phop... phop phop... phop phop. phop phop*

What did my concern friends thought it was?
1. ISA?
2. I do drugs?
*lagi tanya aku
"what drugs u sell?"
"y never tell us one?"
"can pong chan u mar."
3. They come tangkap me?
"What did you do wrong?"


TIDAK KEPADA SEMUA !!!

ternyata...
they were asking for my dad...
ME: See, I really did say, 'Yau Chai Lou Lei'
Parents tak percaya me @ first

What is this big FUSS all about?
sampai ada police datang cari di rumah aku !!!!

When they mention my dad's name...
*phew, AKU tak langgar sesiapa*
it's my dad they are looking for..
and I can actually guess what it was all about!!!

months ago...
my dad tangkap 2 orang pencuri TANGGA
not with any SUPER canggih motorbike, but with his 'lau iea' market bike... LOL

how did it ALL happened ??

STORY 2!
my dad pass by a gated landed property in Penang Island, with his 'lau eia' motor
he saw 2 Malay guy climbing out from that house along with a LADDER
my dad shouted @ them
they fled off along with the LADDER
my dad tak cuba pun kejar them with his market motor
so he thought,
lepas je lah...
apa boleh buat...

my dad moves on few streets later
my dad recognise the LADDER was just infront of him
*yes, those thiefs still transporting the ladder*
on the other side my dad saw a POLICE on his bike
my DAD shouted to the POLICE, these 2 are thiefs
the rest...
POLICE officer did his job .... ;)

my DAD follow them to police station
smack with a SAMAN KEPADA SAKSI

*please refer picture below*

as mention earlier this happened many months ago...

my DAD sudah pun pergi ke mahkamah sekali
and kes di tunggahkan

SAMA this time
SEND personally another Saman *change of date*
CASE sudah di POSTPONE

and these 2 police officers did mention
this CASE will take about 2 YEARS to settle

begitulah cerita nya...

so, AKU TAK ADA MENGENA DENGAN
ISA
tak speed
tak do drugs
tak do anything haram...

continue-ing my grape plucking days in Penang peacefuly

nitez...

*this long post actually reminds me of my previous post about my accident encounter with the Indians... *
