8.46a.m on 9/11 Part 1

At 8.46a.m ,you maybe be mowing the front lawn, or you'll be making breakfast for a family of four or having your morning shower. At 8.46a.m, you can wake your teenagers from their sleep which is usually filled with dreams. At 8.46a.m , may be the time you'll find yourself hurrying downstairs because you are running late for work.

8.46a.m is the time which changed many people's lives in mere minutes and is also the time when the world's tallest building crushed down to mother earth on September 11th 2001.

Autumn, is always the season that children look forward to, to have the times of their lives. But, this time, it would be unusual , different,because on this very day , September 11th, it would be the day that would change the whole world, and the day that people would never know what was going to happen next as more was yet to come . As usual, I was rushing for work , again . It took thirty-two minutes to drive from my house in Brooklyn, the east side of New York to the World Trade Center in central New York, Lower Manhattan . I hurried downstairs in my socks, carrying my shoes and files which I had brought home with me over the weekend as I am a Corporate Lawyer and also the director for my firm.

After the thirty-two minute drive to Lower Manhattan, I parked my car at my usual place where I walked from , to the office everyday, As usual, the smell of freshly brewed cofee drew me into Starbucks . I , myself , who's a coffee addict purchased a steaming hot cup of coffee and a bagel. As I walk , I could smell the fresh air being breathed in to my trachea and then to my lungs , it was a pleasant and beautiful morning with the birds chirping around here and there,and hearing the footsteps of other people walking slowly enjoying and savouring every bit of that wonderful morning.

When and Where?

Literally, my dad is taking forever, to get me my Olympus E2-520!!
i've been waiting for a year, mind you.

Oh, my dad says he's gonna get mom's present next week or tomorrow or on the mega sale or the next next week, ok i just don't know, but so long he gets my mom that freaking present.(i'll take a picture of it as soon as my mum gets it :) teehee

I've influenced and still am influencing my dad to do Dana , means giving or offering in Buddhism. For instance , buying me and mom lots of our own favourite stuff ( the camera and my mum's present ), and sponsoring us for our vacation, teehee...its also a form of Dana ya' know! :)

Anyway, i'm in the middle of reading Rich Dad , Poor Dad and asking my dad to do my charity besides spending his money on his wife and me..:)))

oh, my grandma is staying with us for a few days ...:)

gtg ..sleep

How can I Resist it ??

Modelling for St. John's

At Mammia Mia premiere


When I Was Young

As I am holding this very picture,
a sudden rush of adrenaline zips through my memory box in my brain,
For I did not know it was me in the picture,
Standing there with my mom taking care of me,
An ever-ready smile reflected on the camera's lens ,
For i did not know i was such a jovial little kid waiting to be taken pictures.

I was standing on the smooth sandy beach with my perfect smile ,
my hair swept to the side by the strong waves,
I myself wearing a singlet and short pants,
and smiling ,
it was a bright sunny day,
spending time with my beloved cousin brother, Justin ,
on a beach in Port Dickson, that was once clear , but now polluted ,
my mind was so free ,
away from worries,
problems,
i had a little smile that stayed on my face day and night,
not aware of any danger,
or problems that now worry me ,
I dreamt a child's dream,
Of ambient thought and a peaceful theme,
but it was way back then,
when i was young .

I'm William Shakespeare's heiress....

Seriously , my leg was bitten off by maggots and cockcroaches , ya i know gross. I'm rotting everyday as they say ...(this is strictly a joke)
To-morrow,to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of freedom ,
And all our yesterdays have been wasted,
The way to dreadful school, Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor student,
That struts and frets his hour upon his life,
And then is heard no more, it is reality,
Told by his shadow, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


Ain't it nice? I modified the poem written by William Shakespeare, as i'm taking english literature next year, besides , i love poems and writting 'em mainly because i can express through writting and drawing. i'll show you other pieces of poems i've written later. What do you think?Ain't it a good step to get myself seriously involved in poetry???
I'm soo sleepy but i just can't shut my eyes just a bit , alone at home now , pratically rotting to my dusty death. i've done enough reading to get myself occupied but it doesn't work a tiny bit though , i'm cooped up in the house day and night seeing the same thing over and over again, don't you feel sick if you're me ??24/7 looking and staring at the same old thing ..*sigh*.What are you guys doing now?? besides telling me , give me some ideas besides being left to rot in my lovely house .sheesh, even basketball practices are not on at all, practically no exercise, it's no good you know , i want to exercise but no one would be kind-hearted enough to accompany me to do so .So yeah , boredom kills .


Technically, i'd have to put everyhing on hold because there are some changes and it involves adult supervision like..
-learning how to drive, yeah , i want to learn how to drive , just to get a hang of it
-learning how to cook(i know, my mum doesn't let me cook without her supervision, as i cut my finger and scalded myself the first attempt i tried to cook alone at home )
-going for a holiday(maybe this task does not need an adult either unless your going alone)
-going shopping( this too doesn't need an adult but you need transport , you can possibly expect a teenager to drive illegally to a mall or anywhere, you can get caught ya'know)
.. but learning to drive is a different thing....


Whatever , but the bottomline is boredom kills , and also there are two things that need adult's supervision..
I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE !!!
i can't just let time go by like that , yes i've been reading. but you can't expect me to read all day, facing a book with a millions of words 24/7 right ???

Anyway, to keep me occupied , i've listed down what to do today, yeah i do plan everyday for what i wanna do so i won't waste time ( partly i'm a hypocrite .the next minute saying it's so bored and so bored, and the very next minute i'm saying i've listed down what i want to do .haha*sheepish smile* )


1.Watch Movie
2.Blog
3.Read half of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
4. Find old favourite pictures of my family and i and frame it up
5.Write a poem
6.Eat
7.Find or google Meryl Streep and Angelina Jolie's pictures
8.Tidy up my room..i spend half hour everyday to keep things tidy
9.go you tube


let's see if it works...



Falling In Love
Starring Robert de Niro and Meryl Streep

Out Of Africa

starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford

Speaking of movies ,i managed to get Meryl Streep 's 1984 movie the collectors edition, Falling in Love, that got a David Award ,i think . and also Out Of Africa, a 1985 picture which got a nomination for Academy Award for Meryl Streep as Best Actress for Leading Role. Yay Meryl!!Wondering whether i'm still going gaga over Angelina Jolie ?Yes , i'm still going gaga over Angelina Jolie not only Meryl and what's more i'm crazy over the two of them instead . Because for the past two years , i've been finding high and low for Angie's Movies , and besides i've got most of them. so yeah , now's Meryl Streep 's movies . I just love Collecting Movies, don't ask , because i myself don't know what's the reason either, or maybe collecting things is just my favourite thing to do besides my other hobbies. Mind you , i not only like Meryl Streep and Angie , or shall we call them Meryl and Angie as their names are quite a mouthful. i do like guys too. Chace Crawford, is hot!! Seriously i'm a fan of him, but not exactly a die hard fan though.



Chace Crawford



Meryl Streep laughing ..:)

Angie and Maddox

(i'm jealous)

Anyway , i 'll have to go now to complete my tasks or else it's backfired and the day will just pass like *poof*..so got to start with a movie Falling In Love now ..chiao

With Love

The Three Wonderful Women In My Life
Meryl Streep

My one and only Mum
Look closely, do they look alike?
if they don't i'll post the other pics of them looking alike ..teehee:)


'Mum' is such a simple word,
But to me there's a meaning behind it that is rarely heard,
For everything i am today,
My dearest mother who's the one that leads me the path to today and forever.


Mum, i look at you and see a walking miracle,
Your unfailing love without limit,
Your ability to soothe my every hurt ,
Makes me so grateful and lucky,
The example you set is still in my deep heart's core,
I'd never want any other,
I'm thankful for what you have taught me that still remains with me today,
And I'm truely glad to call you 'Mother'.


Nobody's quite like you ,Mum.
You're special in everyway,
That makes dad and me love you more everyday in each of our lives,
Mum,
You're my lovely and motherly Meryl Streep,
And also,
The Beautiful and kind-hearted Angelina Jolie ,
For I see you in each of them,
And,
Them in You,
Because you're different,
As you're beautiful inside and out,
Like they are too.


So,
For all the the times I didn't say,
The love i feel for ypou each day is unconditional,
Mum,
read this so you can always see ,
Just how much you mean to me ,
I gaze in wonder,
As I watch you being you ,
my miracle, my mother.


Happy Birthday , Mum!!




p.s You're ---...and still going strong ,e.g Meryl Streep(59) :))



I LOVE YOU


this is the poem i wrote on my own that surprised her this morning and a compilation of her favourite songs in a disc.. haha:)
