Princess Selina 任家萱

31st October 2011.

Happy Birthday, Selina. Happy Wedding, Selina. God must have spent a little more time on you, and you deserve His love. You are truly our 公主!

Her accident during filming was truly unexpected and heart wrenching. But that incident have proved something warming to her, and to all of us. True TLC does exists, fairy tale does happen. Princess Selina has found her Prince Richard Chong (张承中).

He proposed at SHE concert. He didn't take any step backward after the accident. He didn't give up despite the burnt marks that will leave permanent scars on her. He didn't mind a single hassle having to put up with Princess's crying, pessimism, mood swings, and I don't know what other hell had brought her into. Only he knows, and he knows she is the one. And this coming October, they are making a lovely tale come true.

Selina deserves all this. A fruitful result out of pure perseverance. Here's a few picture of that magical journey...



The love they have kept secretly within their strongest faith...the making of true happiness....



He proposed! He called her 老婆 for the first time, forever..



L.O.V.E



The accident. That almost changed her whole life.

Pang Yau!

It was ages ago since I last saw her! I couldn't recall when was the last time we were hanging out together. In fact, we did hang out and it was oh-so-fun!

See...this gal went to Jacky Cheung concert with me. If that was not cool enough, we went to mountain people mountain sea watching English boy-band 911 at Sunway Pyramid. And that was 10 years ago. Yes, a century ago. Gosh, 10 f**king years!!

Ho Chieh Ern! Pang Yau! That's how we addressed each other. And we still do today. I would call her full name, and she would call me Ho 'Pung' Yen. And we both like to call Jules as Lee 'Ham' Peng. and then we giggle together. Jesus, so much to write. If I were to continue, how long would this page be.

Oh yeah yeah...this is classic. We used to boil telephone porridge for more than 3 hours after school, just chatting about Prince Williams. Yeah, Kate's hubby. As if we didn't have enough time chatting at school, we continued at respective home. And Mom proudly thought her daughter was doing homework revision with friend over the phone. What else....hmmm....also those endless McD session after prefectorial meetings! Jusco Maluri McD! I miss that place. I miss that life!

There will be some catching up to do with her. She need a friend, like all of us do. And I hope to be able to care for her, just like how we did. No matter how stressful and grey she thinks life is now, I hope she wouldn't give up. She is a nice girl. Nice girls should have a nice life....Guardian Angels, spend more time on her...

Good-ness!

I feel trapped in a sloth's body lately. I sense much slowness in daily chores, work and play alike. Maybe August's a Ramadhan month for the Muslim, and there is not much of surprises at work certainly. People talk slow, walk slow, and undoubtedly work slow. Semangat 1Malaysia, let's find some peace within!

Practically, I shouldn't feel slow at play, but I did. August is a month of birthdays. For the Leo's. There are 4 Leo at home, 3 human and a dog. Celebrations goes on, and calories piled up with cakes and desserts that comes alone the way. But despite all the preparations and birthday song singing, I still think 24 hours ticking away too slowly.

Maybe it's time for me to contemplate my half year's achievement. COuld it be a sign urging me to think if I've been good in first 2 quarters of the year? Or how could I save myself and redeem my staining soul, so I would be entitle for a kiss from Santa when winter comes?

I don't know...a sloth can't think about things too much, it's too slow to activate the neurons in the brain. Or, do a sloth even have brains? IF they have, what do they think? Why am I a sloth? or Why a sloths' sloth?

What a sloth-y day today. Are we there yet?

good August spring

There's nothing to do with four season. There were no winter earlier and am not sure if there will be some-kind-of-month to make autumn arrives.

I said so because I have good start this month. Simply, I had a good evening with Clement Ho. We went book-shopping at Kinokuniya.

HE introduced me Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. I was mesmerized. I didn't know literature reading can be that enjoyable and stress-free. I don't remember any stage in my kid-teenage-adult life saying I love books. But that was a good book. I din't skip any chapters, and definitely not reading because I had nothing to do. I did not do anything else because I wanted to read that book.

Shanghai Girls - as the name goes, about Pearl and May, two beautiful girls living through the glam and riches in Shanghai town. They were the popular calendar girls at that era, posing and literally stripping for ang-mo artist to brush their charm onto calendar pages. But their life twisted when their gambler father 'sold' them to a "gold mountain" chinaman residing at Hollywood. Pearl and May was then transported as paper wives, and the story elaborated further on turbulences pre and post...

And today, at Kinokuniya...I bought the next chapter of the series...Dreams of Joy. Joy...is May's daughter at birth, but raised by Pearl since Joy took her first gasp of air. Why exchange phoenix to a hen; that they sealed the truth with dark secrets never told to anyone.

There will be a lot of book reading soon to come. I am a worm. Dino-worm!
