Mother's Day 20x

It was a good weekend at home and since it's Mother's Day today, it made this trip back a precious one. So much was done.

I was supposed to start the Saturday with a breakfast with Eunice, yet I slept late the night before talking to my bro. So I had to forfeit the meet up and had late breakfast with my family and aunts instead. Then I went for my dental appointment. Erin called in the afternoon for lunch. So poof! again I was out with her to meet JyeChi and Anny. These people were actually more excited about the medical conference than me. So all thanks to their creative ideas, they managed to dress me up for the gala night. Came back and had a quick shower before I rushed for the family dinner at Landmark Hotel.

I suggested to watch Ice Kacang Puppy Love after that. It was a long queue and when it was finally our turn, only the front seats were left. We bought for tomorrow instead.

This guitar-printed-hoodie by Walmart was a courtesy from dad. I have plans to travel Taiwan this October and my king actually thought about the weather and got me this. I was absolutely surprised to see this hanging in the closet. Couldn't help but to draw out my rusty Godin Radiator from the casing. :) Ok, you guys can actually spot the broken part on the guitar.

Anyways, so much of crap, will love to wish my beloved mom a very very blessed Mother's Day. You know, I have such a lovely mother who is simply irreplaceable and she is awesome beyond description. The love of a mother has always been the greatest.

LOVE YOU MOM! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Lesson Learned

I'm a lousy swimmer. In fact, I do not even know how to balance the buoyancy every time I take a dip. My body's coordination works really badly with the aquatic locomotion. It's either a choice of breathing or fluttering. If I choose to flap my limbs, I suffocate. If I breathe, I drown. So it's actually hard to balance unless I have a float around, yet it makes me dependent. I tend to swim to the deeper areas without realizing that I might drown. The joy of floating keeps me going. I tried really hard with the Archimedes Principle whenever I get the chance. Being a person who fathom physics really badly, I comprehend the theory of buoyancy just as badly. Perhaps I'm not a person who's wise with formulas, I suck in stuff that has got to do with calculation. I watch with admiration people who do lovely stunts and wonder when is my turn coming.

Now that when I apply this handicap in another life situation, it turns out emblematic.

There were instances I wished I had smarter brains and better judgement, yet things went just the other way round. I had never foreseen the depth to where I would swim to. Close friends warned me about human nature and how malicious people get with the intention of harming. I never listened, for everything I did was according to my intuition, my trust towards everyone whom I befriended. The recent exercise, I'd taken the route of the subnormal and when I realized, I was too far from where I started from. The distance to where I swam to, I believed I could make it. I believed someone was there at the finishing line. It was all a falsehood. I was taught that when you treat a person with sincerity, you'd be rewarded the same. I never knew about being backstabbed at this level of genuinity. 'It's okay,' I comforted in denial. It'd been some time. I tried my best to get back without being dependent on a life jacket. I drowned several times along the journey. Just too hard, you know. The feeling of getting drowned caught me breathless though I gasped with much effort. Often times, it was hard to play pretend as if the betrayal had not taken place. It kept me in doubt if the previous interactions and feelings developed was frank. For all I could do was to keep mum simply because I do not want to severe a treasured friendship. It was never easy to accommodate a lie, though a subtle one.

I ought to be more cautious with people in the future.

Juen's twotwo Bash

Juen Kiem's birthday bash @ Thai King Restaurant, Kings Hotel.

Planned a surprise party for this dude who just turned bigtwotwo this year. We had to collaborate with Shisan to get him there. And hiding ourselves behind the walls for the word, 'SURPRISE!!'. Food there was surprisingly good but a pretty costly.

Iron Man 2 after the party @ MBO. I got in to the same theater again and sat on the same side, yet I never felt the same way like the last time I entered. :)

Supposed to refrain myself from chips. Still... self determination failed.

With ♥ ♥ ♥

Spent the weekend in KL with the family and finally seeing my bro after so long. It's a crazy shopping weekend. Was supposed to look for a formal dress but ended up buying other stuff.
