Honesty, Either You Have It or Not

It sounds also like "Hygiene is a personal thing, either you-have-it-or-you-don't".
Right, nothing much to do with this though. So what makes me staying up at this time talking about all this then? Dah~ just something that walk pass my mind suddenly.

I am not trying to be very particular here, but I believe there is a degree in telling someone's creditworthiness. There is just different judgment whether it is important or not. Firstly, if asking if I am such person who guarantee such worthiness, it is always an yes. But asking if such is greatly important, I don't think if anyone gives a darn on this because this seems not to be my darn business.

That is why, be it how faithful I am to something that is greatly grand to me, it will not be anymore great. Tell me about it if you are failed so many times after ever the repeated problem. No worries, I am not going to tell you at your face about it for knowing all your excuses.

I have made a correct decisions by shifting my focus into something that are value adding. To me, this is just something that is leading to my narrow alley that I don't even give a s**t anymore.

Makan August and September

These were the months of occasions and celebrations. What usually Malaysian do when you talk about "perayaan"? Oh yes it would definitely be the M-A-K-A-N!

My graduation fell on the August and it was great to again meet my classmates and friends who we had been though all the hard times together for three years. Seeing them again made the bonding feeling so strong and it felt as if we were back in those days, having the crazy days together. Here I want to express my gratitude to my parents and Innae who have been giving me their indefiniteness of support and ♥, Oh Yeah!

So the typical thing to do before graduation is to do some photoshooting with the robe and mortar at the photo studio. I guess, this just seem as the 'proudest' thing because that 11" X 20 " photo would just somehow be visible somewhere in the living room, etc. The shooting started at 11am and we practically waited in a VIP room, did all the grooming, syok-sendiri took photos of ourselves while waiting for our turns to be shot - as if "smile, chik-chak". No joke that the month of August was like a graduation months and there was just many graduands from different uni, going to the studio and do their proud thang. Check out the syok-sendiri shots...

Mr. + Mrs. Lim

Check out his weird smile

Everybody was happy with the shooting, and practically we are still waiting for the album.

The next day came the graduation ceremony, thank you Mr. Lim as the photographer for the day. I think the both of my parents would be the happiest people on that day, other than myself. There's just a funny thing I realize recently when I look at the photo.

I think my parents did not "pakat" what to wear but we turned out to have some blue elements.

Thanks M-Team

In the conjunction of my graduation and out of the generosity of Mr. Lim, he decided to bring the whole kampung for dinner, fyi, this is just half of the village. Look at the satisfying faces. ♥

That was a good chance to play with our new member in the family - D90.







Eventually, the spree went on. Mrs. Lim's birthday fell on the month of September. There was a place we celebrated for Innae's birthday and so this round the Regina was there for her birthday lunch. Drool for the food, man!



I personally love the environment there simply because it feels as if I am escaped to some island paradise.








Everybody loves celebration. Despite the eating part, it's good for bonding and laughter. ♥

With Love,

Friday Night

Weekend is always precious, man! *Everyone says YES!!! Lol. This could be the only night over the weekdays where I could afford to stay up late. I recall watching a TV show when I was in high school, whereby those ladies making complaints of their dark circles and I said to myself, eh, I don't have this problem. Sorry Mandy, it's not the same story now. No doubt i make myself to bed early everyday, but waking up 6.30am DAY-TO-DAY is no joke to a sleeping PIG. Guess what I do on every Saturday then? Yes, you are right, I could just wake up the latest, 4pm or 5pm.

Anyway, after a few weeks repeating waking up late on PRECIOUS SATURDAY, I am finding that a waste. As a grown up, I say to myself to live lifestyle a healthy ones. At least, do some reading on those books that I have been keeping for ages and etc. I made it to myself on a Saturday two weeks ago, woke up at 8.30am and felt freshen, drove myself to Yoga class. That class was an impressive ones even till now. We worked on the lengthening of spines and it helped much to people who have bad sitting position like me. Tee Hee ~

Doing something I am longing for is not a dream to achieve. Recently, I could not resist to my 'itcy' limbs and I am back to teaching ballet classes. It's a brand new experience to myself because it's my OWN classes and no more being a replacement teacher. Awww, praise the Lord for that. So practically, I am also working on Saturday for teaching. Anyhow, I am really happy for what I've got!

Working life has been great. All the ups and downs have driven me a stronger person. I appreciate the opportunities given to me and always grateful for that. Thank the Lord for a holiday yesterday when my back hurt like h*ll. Seriously I couldn't move much, not even lying down comfortably. Life moved on Today that I had to be back in the office for some urgent matter and YES, it was finally done. Thanks to those who have assisted. Please do not say stupid me because I did not take up an MC ok? Lol. Anyhow, it was a tough day today, no appetite, no focus, no energy due to the strangest pain on the back. If it wasn't the pain killer, I would have looked like a dead fish...

Oh you, the painful thing, please don't come back tomorrow...

With Love,

Having Fish to Fry

Wake up on a great Sunday with an unusual thought: If I wished my best friend on her birthday. I can't recall a single thing. I pause and hear my heart says: Oh gosh, what makes you not putting this in mind? I feel no peace and try hard to recall what have I done for the past months. Thank God I make my mind clear that I did send her an sms. Phew~ this drives me nuts. The worst thing that could happen IF I could not even remember her birthday - bad friendship goes on... MAYBE.

Then I start really thinking hard of how my life have been all this while. Only thing I hear myself says - too tied up with my work? Oh no, that sounds more like an excuse than anything else but that is what happens. I wish I could stop a little while and appreciate tiny things that surround me.

Time is always limited and time waits for no man. Though that is what everyone says but I really want to make this different in my life. That is why, I try spending more time with my family and loved ones no matter how tired I am. Well, I guess I have totally forgotten about SPENDING TIME FOR MYSELF, DOING SOMETHING I LIKE.

I find it slightly hard to balance up sometimes. Especially when it comes to receiving 'complaints' where I have not spending enough of time with someone. Oh gosh, if I had not put you in mind, I won't give up my time and to sit there doing something that I don't really like together with.

Well, life goes on. I have focused to much on what, how and when to achieve something on the battle field yet forgotten to pause a while to appreciate the beauty of my life. Seriously I have never thought this would happen. It is not too late now to learn and I am glad that I realize this sooner.

Pause. Learn. Appreciate. Be Thankful.

With Love,

Cheri Mandy.

Unspeakable Mind

I have yet to enjoy this low stream of voice, surround by quiet mind and soul. I embrace you Olivia, for giving me this peace in heart. So long ago, when I was able to portrait what is all about. Not now, not now that I could put everything into words...

Not a single thought is cleared, just to know what are those. I love this peace in mind now that I have, far away from what the lonely city. Once a man told, this world of stage, hides the passion. Still I see the fire that burns in mankind and of course those that is loosing and loosen.

Thou shall not come, please do not bother, because you do not know what is that trying to deliver. But you could get a glitz, if you have ever stepped into this atmosphere... Thou do not need to, for thou do not belong here...

Quiet nights and quiet stars... Enlighten was my walk, that wished to be away. Lonely city, lonely men, embrace this wonderful roses that tremble and fall. In this deem light, do not take a look at the shadow, for it is not for you, but none of you... Only I know, how should it be portrayed.

Do not seek, do not attempt, just like it is mentioned, this shadow is not to be seen.

With Love,

Cheri Mandy

Of No Definition

Beauty with the look. Beauty with the poise. Her beauty is seen beyond distant. Splendid, shallow thou shall not, looking apart is of ought,being graceful of all,is what bucolic is called.

She had never sought, she had never thought, till it came across. Never wondered journey is like a gentle rock, biting out with lukewarm.

Woman is seen as a book, to dip into and to sip the way of soul, for her essence is beyond the cover; much greater than a look she gives and the illusions had on her.

She had opted to be the one long before, to treasure and live life of brad. With adage she dances along called the classical walks of woman with beauty of all, far beyond thou sight.

Of no definition, she knows.

With Love,

Cheri Mandy.
