16 & Love You All ☺♥

16th Birthday

I just want to hug you all for making my birthday a special one! Thank you all for the kind wishes and presents - they are really appreciated! Thank you so much! I am honestly touched! :’)

Sushi & Salad

Told mom not to make my lunch today.

Yummy sushi!

I bought sushi yesterday when I went shopping for my schoolbags. Put them nicely on a plate as part of my lunch.

Healthy salad!

I also made myself pleasantly yummy salad with lots of crunch and colors! What I put in the salad?: Lots of raw cabbage (sliced by hand), a carrot (sliced), half a tomato (sliced), a plum (diced), starfruit (diced) and yummy fruit salad dressing.

Sushi and Salad

I ate 3/4 of the salad. 1/4 for dinner. Hahahah, too full.

So what did you all have for lunch today? Hope you had lots of vegetables and fruit, too! :)

New Roxy Bags

My Old Schoolbag!

The above is my current schoolbag…which I will call it Silvy from now on. Silvy has become my favourite bag to carry to school because first, my eldest brother bought it for me - or more correctly, I asked him to buy it for me. Secondly, it’s huge with many pockets and compartments. Thirdly, it has this special place for your laptop! And lastly, its metallic silver colour is not going off the fashion radar anytime soon (I think!) and it attracts maximum attention - kidding please.

But lately, so many people have been telling - some even begging - me to change my bag. Sean thinks it’s too big. Henry thinks I am always carrying a “super huge grandma bag”. Munyee’s dad thinks that it’s covered in dog’s blood. Dog’s blood because the silver color is coming off and it’s turning pinkish red. My mom thinks I shouldn’t have used it as a schoolbag since the beginning because I carry books enough to weigh at least a ton and the shoulder straps will one day break off. If you look closely enough, you can see they have indeed started to fray.

So, today, I bought myself two new bags from Roxy. I was planning to buy only one, but they are both so pretty and so green!

Roxy Green Backpack!

Spot Mr. Spongybob! And that’s the book I am reading now. It’s so sad…

Green Roxy Bag!

Mr. Doggy is looking at the bag.

PS: Thanks dad & mom. I am feeling guilty for spending so much when the economy is so bad. I know I always say I am guilty after I have done shopping…and then you will see me shop again. Don’t blame me, blame the school workloads. Nahh, kidding! I am the one to blame. Obviously.

Until We Meet Again

Kak Lik s2!

Kak Lik, our maid for six years, left for Indonesia yesterday morning. She cried when we said our goodbyes. I didn’t cry, surprisingly. I cried the night before though for like half an hour. I absolutely hate goodbyes.

I gave her a necklace, a keychain from Japan, and photos of the family, the other maids and the pets. I also wrote her a letter. I really didn’t want her to leave, but she said it’s time for her to build her own family. All the best with that, Kak Lik.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I’ll miss you
Until we meet again!
-Author Unknown-

I don’t know if we’ll ever meet again, even though I really hope we will…one day. But I will always remember the tiny (she is 41kg and a head shorter than me!), funny Kak Lik. I will always remember how when my eldest brother asked her where mom was, she replied in ENGLISH, “Mommy cooking in the kitchen!” - that made our jaws drop.

Ohh man…I really miss her! Sigh. But I really am glad that she has come into my life, left footprints on my heart - I am never the same again!

Lastly, thanks, Kak Lik! Terima kasih!
Best wishes for the future, yea! =)

Love

I want to be your favourite hello & hardest goodbye.
