Happy 2010

January 1, 2010 by Jenn

Happy New Year 2010!

May the new year will bring us the light of happiness!

I don’t intend to make any new resolutions. I just wish to live happily every second of my (perhaps short) life (which I’ll never know). :)

My New Year Eve’s Nightmare

December 30, 2009 by Jenn

In a few more hours and it’s the New Year’s Eve. I can’t imagine that it will be the 11th or 12th time that I’m welcoming the new year far away from my home sweet home.

Tomorrow will be my last working day for 2009. (Yes! Sad but true. I DO work tomorrow. I enjoy though as I get to leave work early.)

However, I am not so sure if I dare to leave the metro station tomorrow and walk to my home. The silly, selfish, mad people have already started playing the firecrackers. Every year I have to pray hard that they would leave me alone. I hate those loud thing and just a few centimeters away from my feet. It is dangerous!

I guess I will just have to pretend that nothing is happening as it is every year. What a nightmare it will be! Bummer!

Happy December

December 1, 2009 by Jenn

It’s the first day of December and I’m back! :D

Hoping to make a fresh start and not the my-new-year’s-resolution do any longer. For more than a decade, it’s been the same old tale. So, I wish to try something new: Live the present, forget future and bury the past. Or should it be: Bury the past, forget future but live the present? Oh well! Whatever suits!

Year of 2009! What a shame! I buried 2 family members (pardon me, 1 was cremated), having to say “sorry for your loss” countless of times, and having to hear the news that someone (who used to be a close friend) was just buried yesterday. Or was it last week? Forgive my memory full. I just try to catch up something that no longer is a breaking news.

Other than that, it is a story that deserves to be printed someday, when the time comes. Or I might share it here one of these days. Be curious and you’ll know what bothers your mind.

Happy December! May it will bring a fruitful journey throughout the month. :)

Winter Time in Autumn

October 25, 2009 by Jenn

It started last night here in Europe, the daylight saving time (DST) in which the DST summer time stopped. All manual clocks at home needed to move backward an hour and then it’s an extra hour to lie down in bed last night.

I used to love this winter’s DST but now it doesn’t mean anything to me apart from I’ve an hour extra time difference with my folks back home.

The weather started to get chillier before the autumn season began in September. I’ve to get my autumn jackets ready but lately I had to wear an extra cloth or a blazer so that I wouldn’t catch cold.

I had missed summer this year in this country. Last year I had several people visiting and stayed with us but that didn’t happen this year.

I’ve been back twice to my home country in July and September. All I remember is the chilly weather in Spring and now cold and wet weather in Autumn. A few months from now on, we’ll enter the really cold weather of the year again.

How time flies! I wish everyone is getting wiser each year.

Question Mark

September 19, 2009 by Jenn

I’m here at Changi Airport in Singapore. It’s a weird feeling… all sorts. But mostly sad, sad, sad. Is grandma still waiting for me? Can she cope with the pain and the waiting? Is it no longer an is but a was? It remains a big question mark to me. Are you still with us grandma?

I hope I’m still able to see her and she me.

On the other hand… there is that other feeling… nervous…

Grandma Arlinis

September 18, 2009 by Jenn

I am coming home again for the second time this year. The first time was in July to see grandma and dad who were ill (dad was admitted in the hospital). Now, to see grandma who is in a critical condition in Kota Kinabalu. Her doctors told my family to ask all her close family to come home already.

My grandma, who is a 4th generation of Wong Loong descendants, is the eldest daughter or Mr Ligunjang from his second marriage and the mother of my father.

During my visit in July, I have made several photos of grandma. These 2 below are my favourites.

This shot was taken in Papar Hospital when grandma had to go for a check-up. This one is with a smile (after I made face or said something that made her smile or even laugh). 15 July 2009

Grandma and her daughters

This shot is my favourite of the many pictures I have taken at Aunt A’s home in Tambunan. As usual, I had to do something to make grandma laugh. I am the eldest granddaughter in the family and I am close with my dad’s younger sisters. When grandma wanted to see someone in Keningau, we ladies had a small reunion in Tambunan. 26 July 2009
