Amazing Stories.

So, I read this article called, "The 35 Most Touching Photos Ever Taken" in Facebook and boy, did it made me cry. Indeed, touching. 

I just want to share some of which really stirred up certain emotions inside. Some. just some.

Here it goes.

Hawkeye, loyal pet to Petty Officer Jon T. Tumilson, fell to the ground in front of his owner’s casket in front of friends and family of the deceased, and remained there throughout the ceremony. 

An arthritic 19-year-old dog named Schoep is cradled by his owner, John, in the waters of Lake Superior, where the buoyancy eases the dog’s pain, allowing him to fall asleep comfortably in his owner’s arms. Shortly after this photo started to spread online, people everywhere began donating money, allowing John to pay for the surgery and medication Shoep needed to live more comfortably. John used the remaining money to start a foundation to help other pets in pain.

A father and son’s relationship over the years.

 A North Korean man waves his hand as a South Korean relative weeps. On Oct. 31, 2010, 436 South Koreans were allowed to spend three days in North Korea to meet their 97 North Korean relatives, whom they had been separated from since the 1950–53 war.

A man teaches his girlfriend the alphabet after she lost her memory. “Patience, love, and understanding at its finest.”

'It's been so hard and she's been here the whole time': Amazing love story of bomb disposal expert who lost arms and legs in Afghanistan blast and the girlfriend who has been at his side during remarkable recovery.

 Eight-year-old Christian Golczynski accepts the flag for his father, Marine Staff Sgt. Marc Golczynski, during a memorial service. Marc Golczynski was shot on patrol during his second tour in Iraq just a few weeks before he was due to return home.

The Weekends in Photos.

Literally sneaked through me quietly.

LITERALLY.

I felt even more tired than the weekdays combined.

ageisreallycatchingupalready.

Meet my colleagues :)

One of the nicest 3 course western meal that I've had. LOVE THEIR AVOCADO TRIFLE.

Breakfast at the new cafe, Budan Coffeebrew Cafe. Wait, I think it's Budan Coffee.. err.. No, wait.. I don't remember.. Aahhh. It's Budan something lah!

The bag is so huge that she can sleep in them nicely and comfortably.

Because taking proper photo during a wedding dinner is too normal and we no like normal stuff. Haha.

My first time attending a wedding dinner that has no bridesmaid whatsoever. Navy/soldier style ftw. Really very cool.

Weekend that is packed with events and activities. Ohh.

It Slipped.

I left this opened for like 20 minutes, trying to figure out why I even open it in the first place.

I still can't figure out why.

I just know that I wanted to say something here, but now, it's just off my mind. 

Still thinking...

Nope.. Nothing so far..

Ahhh.. Where did it go to?

Ayo, never mind lah. I give up trying to think d.

Goodnight you all. 

Randomly.

Because sitting normally like a girl is too common. 

Walking shoe kena stolen, so wearing working shoe will just be fine. Still looking great, hun :)

Snail time - our must have everytime we chaik ho liau :)

Good, starting to behave like a girl. Just for that split second that is.

Helping Josh with economics reminded me of how much I love my college years and all that group study moments. Such priceless memories :)

Koay: I want to go cut my hair. You want to follow?

Me: Err, can also. I can go trim a bit of my hair behind. Too messy d.

Koay: Oh okay *continues driving home*

Me: Okaylah! I shall cut bangs then.

Koay: *eyes wide opened and staring at me*

Me: *grins*

Internet Line.

I have been trying to upload some photos randomly but the connection here is so bad that everytime I click refresh, it kinda got worse?

So, I give up. 

No photos this time. 

Just a post about a girl feeling so annoyed. Okaylah, not that annoyed la. 

Things cannot always go according to my ways only, right?

One more day to the end of the week. YEEEHAWWW!

Nandos, bestnya.

So, my mom told me I've got a couple of letters that's waiting for me on the table.

A brown one and a white envelope one. 

The brown envelope was already opened before me. Angry me. Nolah, not angry lah. More like a bit annoyed.

When I was few years younger, I don't receive letters like that. It's only when I started working and all the commitments suddenly appear and Groupon became one of my favorite site to look at, then these letters come in like no one's business.

Let me tell you this, you people who haven't start working yada yada. IT'S VERY NICE WHEN YOU SEE LETTERS ADDRESSED TO YOUR NAME. That feeling is really nice. Maybe except those kind of letters that are actually bills. I haven't reach that stage yet la of course. 

So, when someone else opens my letter before me, I don't like it. It's like, come on lah! The opening of the letter with your name is the best part okay! Wait, that's the second best part. The best part is finding out what letter is that. BEST GILER.

Anyways, so I opened the brown one and saw one stack of red angpows inside. Guess from who?!

NANDOS!

My favorite mam mam chicken outlet. Gosh, they seriously send to their members a stack of ang pows? Too bad no money inside. Actually I didn't check whether got also or not. Most likely not. Haha. I know lah, just angpows but I make it such a big deal like that. 

It's always nicer to receive something unexpected.

Then, the other while envelope was the "recognition" that my application for a house is accepted and in the process of more process.. Worry. Stop. Pray. 

I can't wait to own a house on my own :)

Nibong Tebal with Nine Humans.

Funfact#01: I love roadtrips!

It is no surprise for those who have known me for a while now that I love going for roadtrips. Even better if can spend a night or two at wherever-we-go. 

Places like Genting Highlands, must stay at least a night. Cameron Highlands at least two nights. If go cold places like these, stay more night more fun whattt.

Anyways, once work-life started, it's very difficult to go for trips like that. Spontaneous trips lagi no need to say. So, when Public Holiday hits on weekdays, we must always make it to full use. GO FOR ONE DAY TRIP!

This time, it was going to be Nibong Tebal. Nothing much to do there actually. It was more of a eat-eat-and-eat kinda trip. Initially, I thought it was just going to be just both of us but we decided the more the merrier.

We went in two cars. All nine of us. Oh ya. Next time we have outings, anyone can join okayy? Like I say, THE MORE THE MERRIER! But of course everything is at own expense :)

We left the island at about 11:30am and slowly drive to the first place to mam mam. Then, we drove to a shop which sells jerseys, shoes, sports pants, sports equipment etc. A friend of ours actually introduced this shop to us like 4-5 years ago? He especially love this shop because the sports pants that he bought many years ago still usable and is actually very comfy. 

I got myself a pair of sport shoe, he got a couple of sports pants, Josh got a sports pant, and the rest I don't know if they got anything from there. It definitely feels like we need to go back there because now I need to get those sports pants. THEY ARE TOO COMFY and they are only like RM10 each! :)

Then, we drove to the famous coffeeshop that sells a few nice hawker food and iced kacang and shaved ice etc. 

It didn't matter if we just ate my favorite pork soup noodles like few hours ago, we still ordered like we haven't eaten lunch :)

After that, we decided to drive to Bukit Merah since it's only 15 minutes away. We wanted to go somewhere to wait till dinner time to have CRAB PORRIDGE! The only thing was it was such horrible dinner. New restaurant and a few times when I was there, people were standing up waiting for tables, so I assumed that it was either super good or super cheap. NEITHER OF THAT. Pffft. 

All in all, I had lots of fun. We went to the mini zoo, which was shockingly fun.

Funfact#02: I love going to the zoo!

Just sitting by the lake..

:)

Waiting for the animal show to start.

Upon seeing this, Gary said, "Eh! Got ostrich here also ah?"

Last time with S2, it's IMPOSSIBLE to capture this kind of shot. Goldii memang best.

His butt is more kiau than anyone I've ever known. 

Feeding ducks and giving them names :)

 Muka sini banyak round. 

They have the LONGEST tongue ever. No kidding. One day I'll post the video.

We learnt that hedgehogs are all born blind.

Small kids all excited to be in the zoo.

 Famous for its ice blended drinks (peanut, fresh orange, red bean etc) and hokkien ta and super cheap too!

The place to get sports pants, whether for sports purpose or as pajamas. Thumbs up :)

Saja syiok!

Such a lovely day :)

Till  next public holiday guys.

Two Years Together.

blessed second year, adrian koay.

Nope.

Reporting live from youth park. 

Four hours ago, I was super motivated to run/jump/run again to start the get-fitter-operation. Then when the physical gets here, everything shuts down. Literally. New shoes so what. Lazy to the max. Maybe I'll just blame the age. Heh. 

And I kinda just enjoyed Magnum Chocolate & Strawberry while seeing people sweat. 

Okay time to balik kampung! :)

A Lot of Coconuts.

For the first time in my life, I saw a lot of people throwing young coconuts on the tar road and IT LOOKED SUPER FUN!

At the same time, I felt WHATTTT! WHY WASTE MY COCONUTS!?

Hahaha.

Tomorrow is a public holiday guys :)

Weird-Out.

I don't know what went wrong.

Woke up this morning at 4am-5am feeling all weird out.

A feeling that's just there. 

It's so uncomfortable kind of feeling and it creeps all over my body making me having such a difficult time to close my eyes and rest. 

I remembered myself holding onto my pillow so tightly and praying till I fall asleep. IT WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE!

I don't know what that is or how it happened but it better stop tonight. It's too uncomfortable I don't even know how to begin explaining it. Although I kinda explain quite a lot on top d. Haha.

Tuesday has gone by pretty quickly don't you think? I did some shopping with the ladies and spent the while evening at home. Cooked my ramen with some cabbages and watched Total Blackout. 

Boyce Avenue, please make a tour to Malaysia. Anywhere in Malaysia also can. I go find you!

Okay guys, one more day then it's a longer weekend that I desperately need. DESPERATELY!

Sat/Sun-No.

I have been to the office for eight days straight in a row and waking up at 8am every morning.

This is no good.

I need the sleep.

Saturday and Sunday, I was attending a Leadership Training in the office and though it literally suck all the life of my weekends, I kinda enjoyed the entire training.

It was funny and informative. Surprisingly, I learned so much about things I never knew could change me and how I look at things now. 

One of it is how I will carefully choose my words, especially dealing with kids. 

I'm glad that I went for the training.

Now, my brain is so not in its order to do anything. It's not really Monday blues kind. It's just tomorrow is a public holiday and there is no moo whatsoever in the office to make people want to do anything. 

Now I'm just pure mumbling. 

Today needs to end soon. Sooooon.

Our Mini-Sized Love.

I love this baby to bits.

She is the world's bossiest baby, BUT I still love her to bits.

The Ugly Truth.

Slowly getting more comfortable with 2014. 

The past few months haven't been easy with so many things on the plate. What makes it even tougher is the boy is still going through his quarter life crisis. What suck about this is that there is not much that I can help him with except to make sure he smiles everyday, whether one time or more. Everyday must at least be silly once to make him smile. I guess it will help him go through it better. I guess. 

I went through it and hated it. I don't think anyone can escape it, I think. However, mine isn't as worse as the boy's. Either that, or he's just really sucked into it and stuff. I don't know.. 

Nine days into it and I can now say that it's going to be a long year. It's going to feel forever to reach to the last month of 2014. Here I am in January, hoping that December is already here. Hmm.

Two nights ago, Koay and I had a long conversation about the now and the future. Boy, its one of those conversations that we enjoy, although there were mini arguments here and there. We did however ended the talk with smiles and hugs :)

It leaves me thinking about how impossible it is for couples to never argue at all. For one person to always give in and thus avoid all arguments, that's impossible. Seriously.

It doesn't matter how similar you both are, you will still argue. Big things or small, sure argue. 

When I look at the both of us, I can safely say that there are more similar things than there are not. We see eye to eye in almost anything, but then sure somewhere got something that we don't. 

We've been friends for about 5 years now. Okay, more like 3 years of great friendship and 2 years of amazing relationship. Even when we were just buddies, we already started arguing on certain things. To the point people used to think that we were a couple or something. 

But no. Not that time. I guess that's kinda the thing that brought us closer and then we became best friends. If we didn't argue 4-5 years ago, I don't think we could ever be best friends like that. 

Come and think about it. How Josh and I became really close at one point from just being childhood buddies was something similar. We started arguing first. Not those couple kind but still, we've had our days of not-talking-to-each-other kind. 

So yeah. 

Healthy arguments bring two people further together, I believe. 

It is always better to talk things out than to keep it in there somewhere.

I don't know why I'm talking about this but I guess, stepping into a new year and going to celebrate our two years together made me realize one important thing. 

It's no secret that I am a bossy person and sometimes I do tend to want things go my way. I'm quite a kiasu person. For years, I have offended people unknowingly and not many people actually dare to come up to me and tell me and guide me (sort of). Very very few actually. Or probably none, if you don't count my family.

And then there's Koay. 

The first person who is not afraid to tell me off when I needed an attitude adjustment. For the first few times, I didn't take it well. I mean, obviously right? 

But over the years as a best friend (even before we have feelings for each other), he never fails to be that one person who constantly became my 'alarm clock'. 'Alarm clock' because everytime I said something that I shouldn't have or how I react to a person/scenario, he will tell me. Of course after we got together, the 'alarm tone' became "I love you babe".

So when he says that to me out of a sudden, I knew I had to re-think of what I did/say. Often I will give my explanation, but it usually smack me back on my own face. Hahaha.

I like how he doesn't care if I was going to get angry or hurt or something, but hey, someone has got to be the one, right. 

Thankful for this strict but sweet angel :)

Okaylah. This could be the post for him for our second year anni coming up so soon :) Lazy to write another post for Koay d. Haha. 

iloveyouadrian.

Total Blackout Is Total Fun!

Just as the name says it. It's a reality TV show where it's almost similar to Fear Factor. 

The players are to do certain things in a completely dark room. It's so black/dark that they can't even be able to see their own hands right in front of their eyes.

Some of the things that's in their "game" are smelling random items and then identify them. Other rounds would be touching things in an empty glass case and identify them. There's actually many more different ones, like eating something off someone's body.

So the father has been talking about this show for about a week. Imagine since last week he kept reminding us that at this time on this day we all cannot watch other things. MUST WATCH AXN.

AND IT WAS SO FUNNY.

I actually can't remember when was the last time we all laughed so hard at a TV in the living room. IT WAS SO HILARIOUS I TELL YOU! You just gotta watch it. I KID YOU NOT. SURE BEST ONE HOUR OF YOUR LIFE. Laugh like that and sure burn some calories. CONFIRM.

Anyways, one of the things that made me laughed quite a bit and at the same time disgusted is this *looks below*

It's just geli okayyy! Some of the answers were, "Is it a rabbit?", "It smells like an animal" etc. OH MY GOODNESS!

The smelling isn't as funny as when they need to touch to tell what the item is. You just gotta see how the people react when they didn't even touch anything. Got one lady reacted till so extreme and cursing all the way when her hand touched some feathers of a feather duster. Goodness. SO FUNNY LAA!

If you're having a not-so-good day, this is a good boost. I didn't have the most pleasant night but that one hour turned it around. Boy, just go Youtube and watch it will you! PLEASE! 

Goldii Jumped.

This morning.

In office.

It was on top of a flattened table calendar.

My huge comfy chair swept the calendar and both jumped unwillingly. 

The thing was I didn't even know that Goldii was already on the floor. There was no sound at all. 

It was just that sudden feeling that I had that pushed me to just turn behind and check on Goldii, which was charging at that moment. 

My eyes saw an empty table/shelf. Heart straight sank a lil. Turned to the floor and it was covered by the calendar.

FELL ON FACE FRONT. Ouchhhh.

Picked it up and press here and there. Everything seems okay so should be okaylah. So I try convincing myself. 

That's a quite a high drop actually. 

Aiya, nevermind lah. 

It taught me to not take worldly things so precious. The WORLD will fail me always and I shall put all my hope and strength and faith in the One that never fails.

Not yesterday. Not today. Not tomorrow.

I'm secure in the Perfect Man :)

ROOTED Appreciation Dinner.

Youth Camp 2014 was weeks ago. Wuuuut! Don't know why good times always seem to go by quicker eh. Pffft.

Anyways, we had our annual appreciation dinner last night and no, this time no choo char. We all had two in one bbq steamboat. How to have choo char within the budget with 20 hungry youth?! How?!

Most of the group leaders joined us this time and I would like to think that they all had a lot of fun cooking on their own and eating their end product, while sweating away :)

I think it must be the age because I used to enjoy this kind of meal gatherings. Now, I just want to sit down in an aircond room and be served. Hah. Instead of sweating inside out, eating burnt meat or overcooked vege in tomyam soup. Oh ya by the way, INDY COOKS REALLY YUMMY BUTTER CHICKEN/FISH/VEGE! Okaylah, last night I'm quite okay because Indy cooked and took the drinks for me. My favourite number four indeed :)

Ended the night with a glass of Iced Mocha at Coffee Elements, All Seasons.

Good Sunday is good.
