I came across with this beautiful, heart-warming journal today and it really touched my heart. I felt the love, the bond and the beauty in their family.
I, myself, am blessed with a beautiful family (I praise Thee), however I don't have my own daddy's moment. One thing I always wanted to be but will never be is to be a Daddy's girl. Somehow it hurts, but it doesn't make me less blessed anyway. (^.^)v
Ugh, am supposed to revise this week, but I have three unfinished assignments due tomorrow, plus final editing of dissertation. Exam is next week. I seriously need to breathe!
Doing dissertation is one messy business! (does not apply to some people though)~~~

Coooool Weekend
23rd Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon was the actual reason we went to Kundasang for our weekend getaway. Neng (mum's hubby) and Ayue (mum's 1st cousin) participated.
They took off at 7am Sunday morning. The champion arrived at 9 something, here's his picture. Can't believe he is 21! We didn't managed to shoot on his glorious arrival due to..erm, we're still asleep in our cozy rented cabin. What's the point of going for a getaway when you're still bounded by schedule and rushing all the way? So, we intentionally overslept and only managed to see the 12th or 13th participants arriving. It's overwhelming to be at the finishing line. .
This guy endured physical pain..
This guy cried..probably disappointed by his own performances?
This guy is all smiles!
This guy is bloody inspiring..he is without his right limb, yet managed to finish top20. Well, you don't race with your arms..it's the feet that matters!
This is the pride of Sabahan..pindik-pindik tagap applies to them! There's several Malaysians in the top10..but pictures not available. These guys here have those blue bracelet which indicates that they did reach the summit. Among 173 participants, only 53 or 58 managed to reach the summit on the given time. The rest were asked to turn back..and got DNF (Did Not Finished) printed on their certificate..
The choice of footwear by the locals and the foreigners. They say adidas kampung/samson (left pic) has more grip than any other shoes. It's rubber, Crocs-like and widely used by farmers.
Neng was actively participating Climbathon (and Marathon) ten years ago. He stopped for a while, then recently resumed his participation. I don't think he's in it to win anything, mostly it is for the motivation to stay healthy. An excuse to eat the right meals and to keep your heart pumping. I can see myself in the future doing this..haha..
Next up..pictures un-related to the Climbathon..
It's cold! But it's bearable to shower..given that there's heater! I stay in Kundasang at least once a year for our church seminars/meetings/etc (usually on Friday-Sunday)..and I know how to keep myself warm..SHOWER! Ironic as it may seem, it works for me. =)

Here Comes Weekend
After an incredibly hectic week, weekend feels like such a big blessing. Can you imagine life without weekend? I mean, working non-stop..without that one day to really rejuvenate yourself and really live your life. I am blessed to have such a day..seriously. My weekends are never dull, always something special waiting in store. And this time, it'll be a family getaway at someplace cool. Place where it's ok not to shower for a day..or two.
I love life. I am blessed!
*I'm still not over 500DaysofSummer..felt such a strong connection with what Summer felt about relationship..Not comfortable being someone's someone. Hmmm..

Awesomeness.
500 Days of Summer is pure awesomeness! Definitely MY cup of tea~~
They (whomever it may concern) don't show it in KK..yet..or probably won't show it at all..but I got a *cough*downloaded*cough* version. Thanks to Baby Bro and Torrent. A bit fuzzy here and there but I'm not fussy..=) Going to get the Blu-Ray (bagus kalo ada Blu-Ray player..haha)..ok, ok..DVD when it comes out. Definitely worth-ed..applies only to individual who likes the same thing I like though.
You see..I can watch all genre of movies, but to say 'I love that movie' is not a frequent occurrence.
It only happens when the movie:
Family Fun Fact
I'm loving every single detail in 500DaysofSummer. It's cruel but realistic. Every line is quote-able, the soundtrack is amazing. I love the non-linear time-line. And I seriously think that (aspiring) architects are sexyyy!*grins*
My favorite line gotta be.."I'm Autumn".
By this mean, it's pretty obvious that I finished the hardest phase of doing Final Year Project, the presentation and final draft submission. Next, need to see my examiner and discuss on how can I get more marks. =)
Ok. I'm bored. Going to mop the floor then. Yes, I do the chores when I'm bored.

Tajuk-less #2.
Saya merasa sungguh di-kompress (tertekan atau dimampat)..lalu saya pergi masak nasi.
Sehubungan dengan itu, saya memecahkan 2 biji telur gred A serta memukulnya (macam aneh). Selepas itu, tomato yang bersaiz normal dicincang kepada bentuk trapezoidal. Seterusnya, memanaskan kuali-tidak-mudah-melekat dan peristiwa penggorengan dijalankan.
...
Dengan beberapa kelip mata, pinggan menjadi licin..dan hati menjadi riang-ria, bersemangat serta dimotivasikan semula.
Baiklah..gambar-gambar hiasan kali ini, seperti biasa (jika stres) tiada kaitan dengan pendahuluan dan isi tersurat.
*pediped has more super cute collection!
Selain cupcake, babies shoes adalah benda2 ter-kiut di muka bumi..dan ya, sedikit sebanyak kecenderungan saya menyukai kasut bayi dipengaruhi oleh Sinae dari We Got Married rancangan realiti tv Korea..Sila google rancangan itu kalau tidak tahu..(best..best..)
Uh..I think I'm sick.

Waiting for...
...the day I can say "It's a Wrap" for my dissertation. I am supposed to send in the whole thing today but the date was extended to this Friday (for MATLAB-ers only though). Extra hours to do it properly! I have to say my gratitude!
En-queued in movie-to-watch-after-I-finish-my-dissertation list is this one! Can't wait.
A story of...
Update: I'm not really into romantic comedy or chick-lit, but a little bit of romance won't do harm I guess..(^.^)
JoyceTheFairy warned: Don’t watch it with your partner or someone you used to date!
Or on a date.
May be a bit awkward!
Ok, noted! Gonna watch alone at home anyway..

So, have fun!

It Should Have Been....
...my celebration.
But, it's not. And I am perfectly okay with it.(^.^)
I would be lying if I say there's no slight envious feeling of seeing friends carrying bags with big CONGRATULATION on it. It supposed to be our moment of glory.
However, at this point, I am still struggling with my dissertation. I have yet to get my result/final output and madam supervisor suggested to add ten, yes, TEN more independent variable to the network. I was dumbfounded since Oct 14 is the due date, and today is what? Today is 9th. Madam N motivated be, saying she believes/know that I can do it..and that means a lot. A LOT! Thanks~
Yesterday's class, Dr J announced that 90% of us failed MidTerm on his paper.Screw me, but I am used to such kind of news. It's perfectly normal for me to be in that majority.(it surprises me that the percentage are 90 this sem , it used to be smaller)
It didn't affect my motivation to finish my project anyway. Sometimes too much of optimism scares me.I worry that I am not worrying about anything anymore.*sigh*
"What if's" are constantly lingering in my mind. What if I did it differently back then? Would I be celebrating now, instead of struggling?...I would never know...
But, I believe the Lord Almighty have yet to teach me something in this extra two sem. (kasi senang hati sendiri..=D) I may not be aware of what it is, but I am as eager as a beaver!
Seeing happy faces of my graduating friends send comfort in me, I would be twice as happy as them next year knowing that I succeeded overcoming my weaknesses. I am going to strive harder for that day. Who could ever thought that this chacha who hated/never good/no distinct interest in maths would end up majoring in Maths for her degree? I don't. Not even the faintest idea.
Moving and bouncing up is the only way left when you hit rock bottom...Eh, I haven't hit rock bottom la..The challenges are still bear-able so far.*grins*
*And I'm tired of citing the origin of this image..huh..vi.sualize.us (actually somewhere else, but it was added in visualizeus..some sort of medium for image lovers) is the source of every pic here, except when stated else.

Literally, I can't dance..I'm a kaki bangku..but when it comes to figurative, I am learning to dance in the rain! It's good for the spirit..Yah, yah..the optimism again. (^.^)
Umbrella, anyone?
