Grandma aka "Ahma"

Goh Hwee Lan, my grandmother ("Ahma"), passed away last Sunday (13th May 2012), at the age of 85. 

When I first learnt about her demise, I couldn't bring myself to understand the feeling of losing someone you love as I just stood blankly and casually told my friends that Ahma had passed on. 

I was heartless but my brain was convincing me that I must go home to see her as soon as possible and so I barged out of the class to book the earliest flight home. 

While booking, tears were streaming down my cheek uncontrollably as it was then I realised that  I've lost Ahma forever.
Upon returning to class shortly after, the compassionate lecturer asked whether I'm going home and after replying her with an affirmative answer, tears were rolling down instantly again as I reminisce about Ahma.

I'd like to take a moment to write about my beloved Ahma.

Ahma was extremely independent, strong-willed and an intelligent woman. She never complained about the problems or pain she has and is known as the woman of few words.

I always look forward into Sundays as it's the day where I could visit and talk to her with my broken Hokkien.
I know it's hard to communicate when my Hokkien is so broken, (luckily i got little help from cousins and aunt to translate most of the words for me) but it managed to make Ahma laugh and never once did she criticize my Hokkien. :)

The last conversation I had with her was, "Ahma, this is my boyfriend! Handsome or not?"(while showing her my Dublin photos). I regret not telling her that it was a joke and I hope she knows it by now. 

The  most memorable conversation happened when I proudly informed her
of my acceptance into Law School and I was so anxious to see her reaction like maybe a smile or an acknowledgment of job well done, but what I got instead was her skeptical but genuine reply, which was,
 "Lu Tak Eh Ki boh?" which literally means, "You can finish studying or not?". 

Yes, relatives around me was laughing at that time and my aunt was saying that out of many of Ahma's grandchildren who have made it into university, I was the only one who has the sneer comment from her.
lol. should i consider myself lucky?
I have about one year into graduation to prove myself but sadly, Ahma couldn't hold much longer to witness it. 

The lessons she taught me (through our conversations and through how she lived her life) are important lessons that have shaped me into who I am today.
Some of the things she imparted to me, and for which I am grateful to learn, are, be a strong woman and talk only when necessary.

I will miss her, and I already do, but I am thankful to know a woman like her. 

She's the best Ahma anyone could have asked for and I hope she's living in peace. 

Sundays will never be the same again without her. Rest in peace Ahma.

Next Handmade Card

Finally, the state of gloominess has found its passage out from my heart. 

Farewell bitter and welcome happy. 

My mojo came running back again with a rapid speed through my veins, 

accompanied by a sole purpose which is to desperately supply the decreasing amount of oxygen that has been lacking in my system for far too long. 

I could now breathe once more and the adrenaline rush got me working into producing my next handmade card, courtesy of my aunt's sentiments.

Pretty Little Liars

Yes people, I'm a fan of Pretty Little Liars! 

The mysterious guessing game on who this anonymous character "A" is, okay fine, if you watched the last finale of Season 2 you would have known who A is and I'm not going to spill the beans, but still...... it's not over because "A" had an accomplice who seemed to be the Mastermind of all the wicked  plans and incriminating texts purporting to threaten the girls for who-knows what reasons it may be.

It appears to me that I'll write whenever I'm having a test soon (like in few hours).
I wonder if too much emphasis on the eye, with the cruel and unjust manner to the physical and mental treatment the subject of Land Law had given me, could be the answer. 

The liquid in my body is gradually becoming dry from this exhaustion, i wanna go home! :-(

Nicole Scherzinger - Phantom of the Opera

A must watch performance by Nicole Scherzinger. 

She just blew my mind away with her stimulating vocals and left me overwhelmed with astonishment. I mean, Nicole Scherzinger??? the Pussycat Dolls' lead singer?? that girl?? 

Who knew she could exert quality in the utmost and most extreme singing performance I've ever seen or hear from her.  

Like a jaw-dropping experience, literally.

-good job organizers a.k.a classmates-

I laid my trust in the Lord with all my heart.
Not only did He listens to my prayers but He had also answered them all by granting me with bountiful and wonderful blessings in life.

First is pertaining to academic where I managed to be competent enough to qualify myself under the Dean's List Award. ^_^

Second, was to taste the sweetest victory ever when we defeated last year's champion and emerged as winners of  the 2012 National Client Consultation which was held in USIM last week.

Winners of this competition will represent Malaysia next month to compete in the Louis M.Brown & Forrest S. Mosten "International Client Consultation Competition 2012" hosted by the Law Society of Ireland in Dublin. ^_^

Can't wait to go Ireland! 

Third, just transpired few hours ago where I was awarded as the Faculty's Best Student  :-) 

I love the Lord, He has been so good to me! 

Oh and also flowers that cheered me up!
Thank you, you kind hearted people who voluntarily hand it to me without expecting any form of consideration back. 

Trust in the Lord always.

-had a wonderful time tonight-

Scene 1 : At the Giant Hypermarket

Male Cashier : Are you a chinese?

Me : Yes.

Male Cashier : I thought you're Japanese. 

Me : No. (with a delightful feeling inside)

Male Cashier : Usually Chinese girls are thin right?

Me : -gave a death stare at him-

Female Cashier : Are you trying to say she's fat?

Male Cashier : No I'm not, she's just fleshy.

Me : -gave a light sabre stare wishing he's dead already-

Scene 2 : On The Same Day

I immediately felt uncomfortable with the Cab Driver as he was gazing steadily at me when the car was stationed as if he was curious over something. (or maybe admiring my beauty, hehehe)

I was not filled with sudden fear because I had my friends at the back of the seat, so without hesitance I boldly questioned him about it. 

Me : Why are you staring at me?

Cab driver : Are you a Japanese?

Me : Oh God, No! 

Okay, so my day didn't go bad after all. 

That brief and awkward communication with a stranger who has no due regard for the rights and feelings of my sensitivity, especially on the yellowish greasy substance that's forming below my skin abundantly, has at some later time stopped to exasperate me.
