Pickled traditions anyone ?

Today , due to excessive boredom of 3 generations of ladies (one of them moi who telah pun disuka-paksa-rela ) decided to make our annual dessert ONLY made once a year .Usually made on the 22nd of December which is the winter solstice or something like that la . (According to my mom ofcourse ) This dessert is called "yi" .Translated it means spheres and that is exactly what it is ,little round spheres made with tapioca flour ,water and colouring .Simple yet so absolutely delicious once added with a lil lurveeee ....Namely , SUGAR ,dirt from our grubby hands as we roll the flour into tiny balls ,spice and everything nice ! Traditionally ,all the ingredients will be mixed together and kneaded until a dough is formed .Then ,it is rolled into a sausage like thingy and cut into averagely same sizes and then rolled into lil spheres and finally boiled and dropped into sugar water .THIS is the traditional way .

This time , the renown commander in chief/head chef of all things dessert and food in the Lee residence took a back seat and more supervised the younger generation ladies as they attempted to take this dessert thing in to their own hands .One must admit that we are guilty of tweeking the tradition by skipping the rolling-out-into-sausage-and-cutting-it-into-the-same-sizes technic and evolving it into the cubit-and-agak technic .I think it worked out fine ,not exactly uniform in size but just...... fine .

Next was tackling the legendary onde-onde .It was a funny scene as all the final products seem to have taken a shape and size of their own .From an "S" to an "M" to an"XL" and even shifting colours from a green to a green dotted with brown melaka splotches to white .Well ,atleast only a handful did not pass the quality check of the almighty "mama" !

It was a good day and I think its safe to say that all 3 ladies were pleased with their work and mentally patted their selves on the back at the end of the day .Tis' the season to preserve traditions !!! (anyone get the joke ?hehehe...)

FELIZ NAVIDAD everyone !!!

(christmas does last for 12 days! )

Thirty four .....

As the smell of cardboard overwhelm the house...and the collected memories remain compressed in boxes....

I'd be lying if I told you I don't feel a thing ,I'd be lying if I told you I was ok with leaving .To be honest , my eyes well up with tears everytime I think of the amazing friends I have to leave .My mind make somersaults when I think of starting a fresh without the support of my fellow confidants .My heart aches for those who will miss me but do not know how much more I have already missed them .But all that is nothing compared to the yearning of my heart to come back to this family in Subang that I've shared so much with even before I leave .

But I'd also be lying if I told you I wasn't excited about going down under and starting a new life ,discovering the real world and stepping out of my comfort zone into the chilly waters of reality .I may fall ,but pain only reminds us were hurt and that we need to be cured .Such times is when I will deeply cherish God and my loved ones .For His strength is made PERFECT through weakness .Amen ?! I shall boast in my weakness for that is when I am strong in His power .

34 days and not counting .My legs tremble at the thought .

13 months in the making ....

Its a story of a playground .

and a seesaw
There was a girl
She was thinkin
Bout this thing .... This thing , the seesaw.
So , a boy came over and decided to play with her .Chemistry was brewing .

Up .... down .....up .....down .......
and then ,POOF !!! intruder alert ....
The boy became uncomfortable .Frustrated bout the presence of this intruder that was earning most of the girl's attention and coming in the way of both of them ......AND THEN something so unsuspected happened ... SOMETHING that would change these innocent people forever ....
A swift gush of air passed through the rear end of the boy .........it was foul and so uncalled for .It was clear ,the boy wasnt uncomfortable over the presence of this stranger but a certain urge to FART.

They left .Leaving this poor boy all alone ,trying to figure out what just happened ,stonified and everything . Poor boy ......
THE END

This is a tribute to these people who are away and cannot be here to enjoy this park for now :)

Special thanks and love from back home to these people who also don't know bout this XD (you know who u are ! )

THIS STORY IS ABSOLUTELY FICTIONAL AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE .(expecially the swift gush of air part ... XD )

This Is fun

There is a difference !

Its the end of the long awaited weekend .Lunches ,bowling trips, carol meets and usual raids to the noodle station is definitely a sign of a well used weekend. (I am so sure we are gonna be the talk of the noodle station staffs for days ! kudos to Justin Lee hahah)

Meeting friendly ,familiar faces again certainly gives you the perfect reason to come back to church/TRU again and again and again .Although routines are proven to be really unhealthy both physically AND spiritually I guess this kind of routine can be exempt ,agreed ?Such routines are good for the soul .... like ....... chicken soup XP !! and mashed potatos !! comfort food la .YOu know like those really really good nostalgic food ,Rocky, Nano Nano ,nuggets ,vitagen ,chicken rice*slurp slurp* .Back to the topic !!(food thoughts be gone !)

Anyway ,just a few days ago I was trying to explain the difference of school friends and church friends to a friend.And i came up with this :-

School etc. ,is like venturing out into the 'world' ,where "dishonesty is the best policy" and swearing is so frequently used you're immune to it ......and then the weekend (really, a joyous occasion for everyone ,I must add XD ) comes and you head back home/church always certain that you'll find someone that will give you a well needed hug or smile or a reli lame joke for the sake of cheering you up just because . A second family, may I presume ?I think that defines church .Besides ,were Brethren anyway !Isn't it self explanatory ?? Thats the difference ! Its funny , because you only ONLY see church friends 2 measly times a week and your school friends almost every single day ! You get to know the good side and the bad side of our fellow school mates ,but you still have not fully grasped the whole i dentity of your church friends and yet church friends always seem to easily build this sense of trust worthiness in a matter of days .

Trust that is true ,faith that is one and friendships that are eternal ........There's a difference ......a good one

My deepest condolences to the Lim family, Serena ,May ,Peter and their mother, Mary who recently lost their beloved father and husband .

May the peace of the Lord be with you all :)

'Tempet' Aftershock Tips

• Squeze in some disgusting flour+sprite+mirinda hugs when u get the oppurtunity .(You need to share the love ! )
• Be prepared to walk home and be abandoned by parents
• You think you look ok at first but when u see your reflection in the car ,its a whole new story !!
• Flour plus liquid becomes hard ,turning into cake !
• Grab some dinner before heading for the shower (your'e gonna need it !! )
• Do NOT shampoo your hair straight away (especially after a flour tempet ,it'll turn to shampoo cake)
• Wear uniform in to bathe (if not , you'll have a nice flour souvenir on your face while u take out the uniform)
• Be prepared to get grandma fingers (it takes a long LONG time to take out flour)
• Try not to clog ur drain with hair ,be gentle with the flour !
• Soaking your hair in water helps , a little....
• Don't bump your head on the tap while soaking hair !!
• Orange miranda DOES NOT come out of clothes .
• Flour make nice LITTLE balls in hair ,good luck ...

This just in ...

I had a dream last night .In that dream, I saw the garbage truck four times ...........

The garbage truck and I

I have a problem ......... or a very very coincidental life



Lately , over the past 2-3 months ,I have been seeing alot and i mean ALOT of the thing we all know so well ,the garbage truck. Yes ,included with scary indian men and all .It is so not possible for this to be just coincidence la !

If you still insist that its a coincidence ... u better think twice !



The very "coincidental" occurances;-

1. At night ,went to Liesl's for sleepover (Yes ,It was at night !!) I saw a garbage truck.


2. Went out with Cherlyn to makan .While cycling ,a garbage truck just passed by in front of us .


3. Puasa time ,went with cherlyn to buy food.... Garbage truck at junction .....


4. Went out to buy groceries and breakfast .The truck ,AGAIN !


5. Out with cherlyn again ,for makan .This time I tried using a different route .Nope ,nothing beats this truck !!! I saw it again ....(Cherlyn thinks I have a thing with the garbage truck )


6. Went to PJ ,nice old blueandgreen truck just HAPPENED to be around the corner from restaurant where we were eating ... hmmmmm ... (not convinced yet ?)


7. The next day after the PJ incident ,was comin back from SS15 and the oh-so-familiar truck is there !


8. Took Winnie for a walk ,Garbage truck !!


9. Just today I saw the cursed truck again parked innocently along the road ..... -..-

(I think there were more incidences but forgot )

DARN TRUCK !!!!

I name this ..... emo post !!

Just recently i have been experiencing a certain amount of emo-ness .My hypothesis is hormonal imbalance or ... the ever present P.M.S .Through this moments of emo-ing ,I often have a sense of nostalgia, in the presence of those I have shared thousands of precious moments with.Then , I drop back to reality remembering that I'm going to ... well , jupiter ! i hate the unknowns .... Haha , even watching Claire Bennet going to her new school freaks me out . She's a superhero in a mortal world and I'm an asian in an ang moh infested............ continent !(fyi , watching hereos now heh ... thanks Simon !! ) Back to emo ! hey whose complaining ?! I so rarely have these moments ,unlike someone i know la . Why not cherish it XD

My last ride to the school ,my last tosai rawa , my last ride to my house , my last 'supper' with the church-ies ,my last wiff through Winnie's hair ! Suleen's visit back home only heightens the emo-ness .Great . The struggle is that these things would be the only thing I know bout my future ....... My last ...everything. SEeee death sentence !! I want to know SOMETHING .

Ok, back to studying subjects that I need not know .And to school where I need not be .

Ps; Mom you are not allowed to kepoh . DOnt even think bout it -..-

Have you rubix cubed your life ??

Don't you just love the feeling of mixing up the rubix cube colours sometimes ?

Ever wondered if that was what you were doing to your life ?

If you have done it go get the manual(God) and put it back into place .He has the answers .

Take it all apart ,and He will put it back . Even better than before .......

(inspiration of nick chan and christopher chan's new toy . lol)

Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil ,hold on to what is good .Love one another warmly in brotherly love ,and be eager to show respect for each other .
