The broken light on the freeway

It helps me sleep tonight.

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

In 2006, it was the "penguin" film.

In 2007, it was the "action packed" film.

Today, it was the "dog" film.

At least I'm a GOOD friend to accompany you! And a Super Good Friend to go out, er.. at least once, a year? xD All 3 movies were laughable right? Be grateful youuuu, Super Bad Friend. >=(

Sometimes ignorance rings true

MUK

10 close ones to talk to when I'm lost in thoughts. 9 pencil cases. 8 pieces of marshmallows left in the fridge. 7 days to go through every week. 6 nicknames. 5 people to drive me around. 4 cars. 3 paperweights. 2 lanes. 1 heart.

And nothing, but myself.

The rest, escape, for you, a girl, more than words?

The title sounds cool. Combination of some of the songs' title they played at the Tan's Christmas party. The rest escape for you, a girl, more than words.

The band sang :

Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest

Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape
Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You
The Academy Is.. - About A Girl
Boys Like Girls - Thunder

Nadia sang More Than Words. There were more songs but my camera was full. Performances by :

Jia Shen : I'm Yours, Country Road. 

Nadia : When You Say Nothing At All, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer featuring ( haha ) Uncle TAN ( HAHA ) as requested by some of us. Sounds like featuring Santana.

Matthaeus : Always Be My Baby

Something like that. Merely remember because I was winning away the deck. :D

I was at The Curve with the parents and sister on Christmas Eve. Borrowed the sister's camera to get some shots because mine was still full. Clicked it on to life, on the display was written "Change the battery pack." Once again, like CNY. Ho ho. What joy. 

What was more of a damned moment was when we walked from shop to shop in Curve and Cineleisure to find traffic in the queues. Finally settled down with MY first suggestion to dine-in at Ying Ker Lou. The baby next to our table was happily playing and smiling at the Chen sisters.

But still can't beat this brat. There's a lot of embarrassing / funny pics of the siblings and I during our younger days. New captions such as : Brokeback Mountain, molester / horny, nose gold digger, pants pee-er, goldfish eyes, food lover, Justin Timberlake, etc. Fun. : )

I'm starting to pack. 5.

But I'm here in my mold

I saw a yellow butterfly on the gate top with a bumble bee-like body, was distracted by the scorching sun and the CAR KEY holder while taking a pic of it.

I finally got a Diablo Firebreath cover for the Pottyddy from Digital Mall yesterday. Potty because SOMEONE was telling me a story of the "shit pail" and forgotten what a potty was called. Shit pail.. Gosh.

BOOMWAVE

Costs RM65. A good buy because it comes with a screen protector, neck strap, thicker than the other covers and is cheaper by a few bucks. Cute with the horns and the toinggg tail and the holes there are for the neck strap but looks like it's the a-hole. =X Haha.

Maybe I'll be changing the cover sooner ( few years' time ) ;p

And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

Fighting with the shadows in your head

I don't think you know, but I'm the founder/trendsetter of many things. I started young.

Introduced Rihanna to Umbrella. Just that in this pic, I'm singing you can step on my umbrella and I don't know what's with the red one on the tree. But hey, my umbrella is black in colour too.

And here, you can sit under my umbrella~

Guitar Hero too!

I haven't changed much. I still have the same eyes and mouth.

I ♥ USA. 

Turning my back on my country at such a young age? Pro-America!

Shhh! My first boyfriend! Oh my.. 

My partner for the Cowboy dance, what's his name? Err..

Don't know, Diana, name starting with B, myself, don't know, Jeen Pei and KEN KENG!! The only one here that I still keep in touch is Ken Ken the last one. So Ken, my neighbour down the road, remember this?

To dance with my father mother~

And of course, lala-rism. ^__^Y

Lala, the first thing that comes in mind is Tokyo Drift's theme song.

My speech in this pic is actually : Yo brudders and sistahs, peace out.

Assembling my own pics into a new photo album I just bought. 300 slots for the younger me but it still has plenty of room. I think I need a new one for the NOW ( 2006-2008 ) pics I'm gonna develop. Picked 250. Ouch. $_$ How to tell daddy? =(

It's taken so long to get it right

I helped mum to make the rest of the tong yuen left ( for Winter Solstice ), alone. Nonetheless, it was fun though it took long.

Last dough. Look at my fingerrr. Like frost.

Supposed to look like a clock. On the outermost circle.

Is there a trace

Inside her face

Of a lonely miracle

And so you wait

And lie awake

For a lonely miracle

This is not my heart

To be loved, to be loved, what more could you ask for? 

To be loved, to be loved, everyone wants to be 
Loved, to be loved , what more could you ask for? 
To be loved, to be loved, everyone has love 

Won a few rounds of Cho Tai Ti. Hopefully that luck would be with me during CNY. Haha. Was at the Tan's for Christmas party. The 4 Tan siblings were all dressed in black! So.. synchronized. There were a few performances too. Little kids joined in by dancing to the songs and playing the tambourine. I've recorded some videos.. That'll come later.

With presents underneath the Christmas tree, what else do you see?

I'm just as curious as you are. WHO GAVE THAT ? I've yet to know.

-

My birthday presents from my family.

Parents : RM 500 and RM 100 each. ( BUT, I took 300 to spend some friends, buy some books, presents, stuff =/ )

Big bro : iPod 4th gen.

Sis : ADD MATHS REVISION BOOK

2nd bro :

 Not from the supermarket but the shop outside Pasta Zanmai.

After I chose this from the shop, I said the the fam: I KNOW YOU ALL WILL HAVE A SHARE.

By the second day, it was almost half empty. Kinda miraculous that it's still here after a week. Last 20 left!

The craze started in school ;p

Unraveling the truth

Enmeshed in blurry roads that lead to nowhere safe. In a city, where everything's moving. Street lights flashing bright, cars speeding fast, noise flowing from every direction. Hurting my ears.

All I could hear is, people wanting their say. Speaking louder than the other. Hurting my ears.

If I do, I may be hearing lies. It's a waste of time. Hurting my ears.

Every second we're dying. Say something nice, coming from the mouth, into the ear, and letting the warmth of the eyes show how you feel. Better than twisting and turning, not getting to the point. Hurting my ears.

Don't say a word. Hurting my ears.

If you missed the rising sun and the morning dew, don't miss the beautiful sunset.

Sometimes I wish I could save you

..why do you keep on hurting? It kills to see you this way.

It hurts us too, you know?

I dare you to move.

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor.

PLEASE.

This sweetness will not be concerned with me

曾 - [zēng] relationship between great-grandchildren and great-grandparents

忆 - [yì] remember

琳 - [lín] precious jade

Some of the meanings are a bit off. The Chen isn't supposed to have "buns" at the side of its head but ` ' on top of it. Took me long to find Chen with ` ' but realized it's the same. I like LING! Parents said my name had no meaning unlike the 3 other siblings but the Ling was inspired by some Hongkie model. Parents were lazy to think of a nice name.. Mum liked the idea of a Ling 'cause it's a very nice nick to call. -.- My Cantonese name is very the off too.

Zhang Yik Lam. Eee.

Are you listening? 
Whoa..
Sing it back
Whoa..

Of christmas trees and thai cuisines

KL.

KLCC's.

Pavilion's.


Tinyyyy. Ratio 1 : 100?

"You know Yih Ling was damn tension on the escalator. Her legs were almost shaking."

Yes yes, I'm afraid of heights.

Ooo. Santa doesn't look too happy but he looks like Garfield.

"Something we can't find in PJ."

Running in circles, coming up tails.

Ice lemon tea, lychee, apple juice.

Beancurd.

With the fire burning in your eyes, chaos that controlled my mind.

Tom Yam with prawns.

Minced chicken with HOT basil.

Eh you sure ar? It's spicy you know

Can wan la can wan la

While eating, everyone cried had runny noses. Didn't know food could be so touching. ;P

The money bag, bolster, compact powder and handkerchief. Haha. Good imagination eh?

Good food.

Walked back to KLCC and saw a misty tower.

And I can be on the last train home.

Was NOT acting cute.

Posing for ckIN2U.

Note : Can NEVER take at least one decent pic with siblings.

The brothers and I disturbing.

No one wears it better. =D

A 2 kg cake from Ikano's Q Jelly Bakery Shop.

Light up, light up, as if you have a choice.

Meet the siblings.

Joining in the frenzy.

It's murder on the dance floor but you better not kill the groove at the table.

What's left after the six of us ate.

What did I say about not having a decent pic again? More pics in my Facebook albums.

SIXTEEN.

: )

Ah Pek Sengh.

The Minah calling started out when I was talking bout MAT Rempits having MINAHs. So, here's the ultimate Ah Pek Sengh birthday wish. I was looking for my name in "Ah Pek's" phone and didn't find it. I didn't know I converted into, MINAH Ling. It's the only wish that made me laugh, not smile.

I had a super duper good day. From wishes the night before til 2 am messages, though had trouble sleeping, to having an awesome day, laughing with the family, having my legs ache but worth the pain and having people who care. Never thought that it'd turn out bigger than I expected.

Thanks to everyone who wished through MSN / SMS / Facebook / Friendster! 14 DECEMBER; definately, a day I'll REMEMBER. Like I hoped before. : )

Had a long day, napped for an hour or so and got online at 11 plus, said my thanks to the ones who wished, finally updating at the very last minute of the day.

PS : My sister says that the coherent speaking judge, Amber Chia shares the same birthday as me. Therefore, I'm sick-thin yer O ger oledi.

.
Who ever said the world wasn't mean? ;p

Surprise surprise.

It's HERE.

A silver iPod nano 4th gen. Thanks big bro!

Silver, 'cause it's classic.

It couldn't be that bad

Curious, was I at the age of younger than 12, I looked upon my question and braved up to find a sensible answer.

L: Why do you have so many moles on your right arm?
W: It's 'cause I'm smart.

I overlooked it, and found that her 'hypothesis' was true, in a way. She and the eldest bro had many moles on their hand whilst 2nd bro and i have so much lesser.

But time has brought me to think of the logic, not long after that. I recently discovered I've a tiny mole, ( NOT the Phua Chu Kang type ) just a little dot, on my upper lip. If I were to use my sister's hypothesis, what does that make me? A good speaker? A good kisser? Haha. Right.

I was disrupted from watching Heroes at 10 pm 'cause the annoying stumbled upon THE ULTIMATE PROM NITE by SeGi. They said it as seh-gee ( saggy ) not sir-gee. It has never caught my attention until this very finale of the show. With the rapper contestant and his "kiddy-kiddy, shippy-shippy, to the LA, the DJ" (w)rap, something like that. How could I be flippin'? With one 'coherent' speaking judge( AC ) too. "So, what do you plan to do after coREJ( college )?" Both of us ended up laughing uncontrolably.


If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?

Your name, sir? KOO LA BEE.

I rarely use abbreviations and I type proper Englandish.

Texas Hold 'Em

Just a while ago, I was playing poker. This dude started talking and you know.. I don't really like talking to strangers. X is a friend of mine who was playing in the same table. We decided to act as "a couple" just to teach that fella a lesson. Dude will be named dude. Friend will be named X.

It started off by Dude seeing that I've more chips (cause I rarely play and save up) than everyone at the table.

[YihLing Chen]: oh.. we all miss you.

Dude was so desperate that he invited me to be his poker buddy for the third time around.

[YihLing Chen]: loll Dude, sorry but i only play poker once in a while. hehe

[YihLing Chen]: so there's no use being poker buddies.. ><

[YihLing Chen]: alright gtg. X, have fun playing. bring back my fav choc! :) mwah

HE DIDN'T REPLY. Plan successful. After that X and I continued chatting for a bit on MSN. His pic was taken in a car so..

Eh, he got big car le

What big car? What proton car is that man, can you see the rear view mirror? ( Sorry, not trying to discriminate; just indicating it's not a big car cause it seemed like an old one. I've one Proton car too, so no hard feelings. )

Oh ya hor

That's what you get. Kinda mean in a way but.. (=

From Where You Are

So far away from where you are

These miles have torn us worlds apart

And I miss you

Yeah, I miss you

So far away from where you are

Standing underneath the stars

And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased

I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face

I miss all the little things I never thought that they’d mean everything to me

Yeah, I miss you

And I wish you were here

I feel the beating of your heart

I see the shadows of your face

Just know that wherever you are

Yeah, I miss you

And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased

I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face

I miss all the little things

I never thought that they’d mean everything to me

Yeah, I miss you

And I wish you were here

So far away from where you are

These miles have torn us worlds apart

And I miss you

Yeah, I miss you

And I wish you were HERE.

We don't stop loving someone, we simply learn to live without them.

We break, we burn, we turn it inside out.

WHO WE ARE : Human, looking at life from different perspectives, but never seem to make up our mind to stick to a good one. We often create a STORM of problems, oceans of arguments and waves of fury. Always left BROKEN in quiet whispers, sitting in an EMPTY SPACE. It's just an ORDINARY PAIN. WE'LL NEVER KNOW how far the depth of tomorrows may be. DAYS GO BY in a flash of light so watch the world SPIN in your sleep while singing to SOMEBODY ELSE'S SONG. Keep BREATHING and search for the ONLY ONE as if it's the FIRST TIME. After all, we're not BLIND for not seeing EVERYTHING beyond us, just human.

Came about when I was listening to Lifehouse's. Gave me an inspiration to make sentences and join them up with some of my favourites from Lifehouse. Another band I wouldn't get bored of. Too many favourites to be put in. 

Caps : song titles.

How will you know I am hurting,

If you cannot see my pain?
To wear it on my body
Tells what words cannot explain.

And then there was 27..

Facebook cleaning

A friend of mine asked me to help revamp his/her Facebook. Since X's computer lags because of logging in, I was there to the rescue.

More than 600 requests. Yes, you've seen it right. SIX HUNDRED. The incredible button Ignore ALL did the work for nonsensical applications.

Okay, there's umm.. Hatching Eggs, Hug Me, Human Pets, do you want them?

Hatching Eggs? What's THAT? Hug Me? No one hug me, so,no. Human Pets? Is it where people buy you as THEIR pet?

December.

His scars run deep

If they were to make a second movie (doubt it) for Edward Scissorhands (1990), I think Jackson Rathbone can take the role of the main character.

Why do I say that? Simply because he has the hair to pull it off. Black, messy hair. He can be pretty stoned/constipated-like/pain-like too.

Edward Scissorhands, played by Johnny Depp.

Compare the similarities between Jackson..

..and Edward.

Compare the similarities between Rathbone..

..and Depp.

The hair, the hat, the stoned face.

"His story will touch you, even though he can't".

I was.. pretty scared of watching Edward Scissorhands when I was younger, about 9? Because Edward looked like some kinda freak. But towards the end of the movie, where he made an ice sculpture for Kim, that touched me. The "awww" way. I remember there was a scene where Edward tried to sleep on the waterbed but he ended up poking a hole in it. That was funny. You gotta see it for yourself.

To our favourite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow!

Running in circles, coming up tails

I was just guessing
