Stagnant

That’s what my life is right now.
Stagnant, like water not flowing…
Staying at home, all day, not doing anything productive can be really b.o.r.i.n.g.
Well, not that I am not doing anything productive , like I do help around, but doing house chores are really boring too. I wonder how my mum survived all these years doing everything on her own. I guess people born in the past generation are different, much stronger; I am really weak compared to her.

So today I am going to blog about one of my biggest fears, that is anything involve a slight hint of horror, spooky stuff, then I’ll get really scared.
I know as a Christian I am not suppose to fear as faith overcomes fear,
Timothy 1:7 (New International Version)
7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
Psalm 112:7-8 (New International Version)
7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

But I am still so scared, and my friends in university are horror freaks, they love watching horror movies.
Sometimes I feel like I am really put into a situation where I am the lame one, where when we all go out for a movie, everyone wants to watch the latest horror movie, and I say I don’t watch horror movies, and I’ll say like go ahead, I’ll do something else.
Then everyone will say something like, no I won’t watch if you don’t watch.
Then I have no choice but to watch, and I’ll be stuck in the cinema closing my eyes and ears for the whole two hours which is really miserable.

I don’t blame them, as they don’t get my fear.

I think there are much more beautiful things in life where we should sought after instead of the feeling of being afraid, negative feelings.

These are some images of simple things in life which i regard as beautiful,

Smilling babies!



Bubbles somehow makes me happy!

Lush green, trees makes me happy. I have always had a vision driving down a road covered by a canopy of trees, breathing in the crisp fresh air...


Horses running freely in the wild, I have never seen it, but i picture it as a beautiful sight.

What do you picture as beautiful?

Till then, Sarah XOXO

Good Morning Sunshine.

I hardly get to say that.
I get up in the mid-noon, :-)
“Papa, why are u having pineapple juice right in the morning?”
“Morning? It is already twelve p.m”
“oh, I just got up, hehe”

Haven’t been doing much around, I have accomplished making cornflake cookies, reading every now and then, drinking hot chocolate everyday, and I did a little bit CNY shopping yesterday.

My neighbour's dog, Poppy visited us yesterday. She is such a darling, she pops by our house which is 3 blocks away from our former house every once in a while.

Being at home feels good, especially accompanied by the aroma of fresh baked cookies.

Happy belated new year!

Here I am again, at another beginning of a year. 2008! I am turning 19 this year; it feels like I’m almost reaching adulthood. Like my economics lecturer said, we are all developing physically and not mentally, maybe for one time she’s right. Because I feel like I’m still that old moody, selfish, grumpy old self.This year, I wasn’t looking forward so eagerly towards the New Year. First it felt really different, because MMU has three semesters, I was stucked right in between my finals while others were having fun. Second I lost something really precious to me, my cat. I am still hoping u know, for him to come back.
I am back in Kluang, for the semester break. But everyone just started their classes; if anyone of you are free and want to go yum cha give me a beep k! I look forward to meeting you guys. I guess I will spend most of my holiday at home, lazing around, helping mum with CNY baking.
Being at home without Mushroom sucks… I know it may be annoying to those reading how I go over and over again mourning the lost of my cat, but I don’t care an inch and I feel like I’ll mourn his lost over and over again until finally he comes back. It’s so sad, seeing his cat food still around, his fur brush, his towel and the chair he always sleeps on. My dad said that they wait everyday for him to come back but he never appears. At least if I found Mushroom dead also better right, then leaving me to figure out where is he, how is he. Huhuhuhuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……….i so sad………

Anyways I went to Langkawi last week for my semester break. I declare myself as a professional bus sitter because I sat a total of nearly 20 hours this month. HAHAHA! We went to Alor Setar, from Alor Setar we took a cab to Kuala Kedah Jetty and a ferry to Langkawi. The bus was frezzing cold, the cab was allright, but the ferry made me sea sick, especially on the way back, it was wobbling like crazy as the waves were kind off rough. Luckily I didn’t puke.


The reliable map that brought us around Langkawi. I am a bad bad unreliable map reader.


On the ferry sun deck on the way to Pulau Payar, bad hair day picture haha, the wind was so strong!

That's Pulau Payar, where there are a lot of fishes and i went snorkelling there for a bit before it became too hot..

View from cable car top you can actually see the whole island, well nearly the whole island.
