Some said I am too difficult.
Some said I am born blur.
Some said I am complicated
Some said I am crazy.

I want to turn my head to them and tell them, I am me.

Matchbox20 – I’m Not Crazy Lyrics
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me that
I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something
Hold on feeling like I’m heading for a
Break down and I dunno why
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then You’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Talking to myself in public
And dulging glances on the train
And I know I know that they ‘ve all been talking about me
I can hear their whisper
And it makes me feel that there must be something wrong with me
After all the hours thinking somehow I‘ve lost my mind
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I’ve been talking in my sleep
Soon they’ll come to get me
And they’re taking me away
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy
I’m just a little impaired I know
Right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
And how I used to be
How I used to be
I’m just a little lonely
How I used to be
How I used to be
I’m just a little unwell

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Charlie Chaplin

Live it to the fullest. Everyday when we wake up, we have the choice to choose how to spend the day with. With a smiley face to begin the day with? or a sad face to begin with? Every now and then, it is much easier said than being done.

Are you a laughter person? I used to tell myself that if you can put a laugh on yourself, then there ain’t no problem that you cannot overcome. Optimistic always seems the word to describe the person who keep thinking for the ideal things to come by.

Thus in the times when things are rough and tough for me, I wished that I do have the strength to just smirking smile and laugh at the situation I am in. Ridicule myself to the extend that what I am going through is just a small tiny matters compare to the rest of the world.

Some said I am in self-denial. Perhaps?

Love is the answer – but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.

Woody Allen

He do have a point there. I mean well, that’s part of the thing today. It is hard to restrain from staying abstained with such tormented pressure from all area.

I mean the only person I could relate to is Jason. I am not sure whether he did the deed or not but heck, that’s his life. Well we shouldn’t be poking our nose into his sex life though. Hahaha…. I find it amusingly funny because Bruce might think about it otherwise.

whether I know who my brother, DC is getting married or not.

my answer 2 months back will be “yes”
and how I come to know it?

common friend of his told me. She was disappointed. And she asked if I knew about his being all this while? I told her that as a friend, I should not jump into the conclusion or tell anything bad about friends.

She moved on. I got busy with my own life that I couldn’t find time to be busybody about him… until last week

Schoolmate returned to KL from Singapore. He asked few of us (setapakian) out. We went to Teh Tarik @ Steven Corner Setapak. He told me that DC had informed him that he got married. I wasn’t surprised and asked if he knew who’s the lucky girl.

He told me that he is not sure of as the girl wasn’t the same girlfriend he had in Form 6. He further added that I can get to see their wedding picture in the Friendster. Hence, I just manage to go to the friendster to take a peek. Finally notice the name. Seems familiar.

Infidelity…..such a fine line.
Share
Today at 1:46pm
Sometimes I get a little confused as to what counts as infidelity. My friends and I had this conversation where we were trying to define what infidelity means. One friend said something that made me uneasy and confused. She said that “chatting” counts as cheating and is a dangerous behavior because it can lead to things. i’ve always considered chatting a harmless behavior, just like poking, sending kisses and hugs, those are harmless flirting and should be fine, right? For example, when I send hugs, or kisses I send them to both male and female friends and dun give it much thought as to the deeper “meaning” behind it other than that i feel affection for whoever i sent it to as a friend. I mean seriously who the heck takes these things seriously right?
Then we moved on to things that she considers dangerous behaviors…..such as going out and having drinks or a meal with a male friend, even if it is harmless lunch or tea. In short she thinks that people who are attached are not advised to develop close friendships with members of the opposite sex.

Now I am all confused 0_0 WHY can’t men and women be friends? Is our society so closed minded that people with close friends of the opposite sex are often barraged with nudging, winking and skepticism: “Are you really just friends?”
Seriously as a woman I happen to think men make great friends too, they are fun, they make great jokes, they are not as sensitive about things, etc etc.

Sigh…I dunno anymore

Amazing what people can do with such common things like a cup of coffee!

Artist assistants stand next to 3,604 cups of coffee which have been made into a giant Mona Lisa in Sydney ,
Australia. The 3,604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different shades!!

Let put our hands together for the society and not just for the namesake charity. Put some love into other people lives.

It is much nicer to do it when you’re doing it for a cause. Thanks to a friend whom helped to summarize the shoebox project.

THE SHOEBOX PROJECT (a Christmas Community Service)

1. Donations to refugee children under the care of United Nations Malaysia (which receives no funds for these incentives), aged 2-12 years old.
2. Targeted 160 children.
3. If there are more than 160 shoeboxes, the extras will be donated to the underprivileged children living in Sentul and Setapak area.
4. Collect a (or a few) shoebox(s) and fill it will gifts for these children, tie / wrap nicely and put a note if it’s for a “Boy”, “Girl”, “Unisex”.
5. Gifts could be: Stationeries, Stickers, Toys (non-battery/electrical operated), Clothes, Food, Hygiene Products, etc.
6. Can also contribute cash to Ee Lynn and a committee will assemble a shoebox on your behalf or donate the cash
7. We will get someone to pick up all the shoeboxes / donations from Menara OCBC (Jessica Ng as liaison) on the 30^th November 2009 (Monday) after work or contact Ee Lynn directly for other arrangements.

Thank you all for your generosity. No obligation to contribute, but please do spread the word to see if your family members, friends or colleagues would be interested.

Dear Friends,

Christmas is coming! My colleagues (UN) have an ongoing project to give out Christmas presents to the refugee children in December, because the kids have so little.

We’ve identified a target group of refugee children from the ACR. For now the number stands at about 160 kids. We’re currently working out the details and should finalise a plan soon.

What we want to do is called “The Shoebox Project“, i.e. put together a shoebox of fun/cool/useful items to give out as Christmas presents.

The reason we chose shoeboxes is because:
(i) the gifts will then be of the same size and no one feels inadequate for receiving a gift of a smaller size, and
(ii) because if we were to fill a shoebox with many different items, chances are the kids will have a use for at least a few of the items, whereas if we were to give the children 1 big present each, some of it may not be of particular use to them (e.g. unsuitable clothes, books [they are illiterate], battery operated toys when these have run out of batteries)

Suggestions of items to include in the shoebox:
1) Colouring books, crayons, felt-tip pens, pencils, stationery and stickers.
2) Small toys (e.g. McDs Happy Meal premiums) – early this year, our BID Unit gave out used toys (but in good condition) and the children were so happy!
3) New clothes (maybe undies and t-shirts?) rolled up small and fitted into the box.
4) Chocolate, candy, raisins, mini cereal packs.
5) Kiddie toothbrushes (esp the cartoon character ones) [NOT BATTERY-OPERATED OR ELECTRONIC, PLEASE!] and toothpaste. I think this is a pretty important thing to include.
6) Non-electronic games and puzzles — slinkies, pinball puzzles, jigsaws, building blocks, tops, magnet kits, play dough etc. Nothing that requires reading instructions, please. Most of the children and their parents are illiterate, and when you are having hard enough a time trying to pay the utility bills, an electronic toy becomes an additional burden.

You can either put together your own shoeboxes to give away (of a minimum value of RM15 – RM20) or we (and a taskforce of helpers, again feel free to volunteer) will put together the shoeboxes/presents and people can sponsor a shoebox to give away (or 2 or 10!).

If you would like to participate, any type of contribution you would like to make would be welcome, i.e. in cash via donating or sponsoring, or in kind, via helping to wrap presents, obtaining items, ideas etc.

I actually prefer contributors to fill up their own shoeboxes to give away, because you will then be putting thought and care into it, and because it would save us time! It is also good if you have children. Get them involved in the selection and purchasing process. It fosters thoughtfulness and they will be happy to know they assembled the box all by themselves.

If you are interested, to contribute, PLEASE:
1. Collect your clean shoeboxes. Clean them out and line with paper if necessary.
2. Fill them up with goodies, keeping in mind the recommended total value.
3. If desired, indicate if it is meant for a boy or a girl. I prefer no wrapping, or wrapping with material like old calendar sheets or used giftwrap instead of buying more giftwrap. Tie the box with a pink/red ribbon for a girl and a blue/green one for a boy. Attach a card or post-it that says ‘BOY’ or ‘GIRL’ so I know who to give it to. No such necessity if the gift is gender-neutral. Puzzles, blocks and play-dough are always good for all. The kids’ ages range from 2 – 12 years old.
4. Deliver the shoeboxes to me or get me to collect it from you.
5. I will take photos of the event to share with all!

If each person contributes just ONE shoebox of goodies, we would have enough for all the children.

If we have more shoeboxes than children, I will bring the surplus boxes to the underprivileged children living in Sentul and Setapak area and distribute it to them. (Yes, the same children that we are collecting school uniforms, school bags, shoes and school fees for) These are all children who have fallen through the cracks in the system and receive no help from their school PTAs or the government. So much for 1Malaysia! It doesn’t matter whether or not you celebrate Christmas. I don’t, but the objective of the project is to bring a little joy to children whose parents are too busy, too poor and too plagued with problems (health, legal status and others) to care for them adequately.

Thank you all for your generosity. No obligation to contribute, but please do spread the word and see if you family members and friends would be interested.

With appreciation,
Ee Lynn.

Appreciate your contribution.
