Down to Earth

Dear Bloggy,

This year I received Christmas cards more than Hari Raya cards. It was a wonderful Christmas I ever had. Yesterday was the Christmas Eve, we made the so-called family reunion dinner among flatmates. Also, I have received my secret Santa gift and unexpectedly the socks which I hang at my door was fulled of cards and gifts from unexpected people. I am very happy living here and grateful for meeting such a wonderful housemates and friends.

Yummy! The cheesecake was really delicious!

My housemates were very cooperative. We; including the birthday boy set a birthday party with lots of foods from China and Malaysia. I made Roti Jala with Chicken Curry. Chiung Hui made special Taiwanese chicken (which is halal) for all of us. Lucia cooked steam seafood egg and some kinda traditional seafood vegetable (no idea what it is). Wang Wen baked her all time favourite Tiramisu and Vanita set up the decoration in our Kitchen and also bought the drinks. There were three special guests attended the party- Rita (Taiwan), James (Hong Kong) and Susan (China). We were so happy and ended up the party by playing cards game. It was so much fun! Below are some pictures taken by me last night.

Dear Bloggy,

Everything was so shocking! Firstly, I got a bad news that the Perlis Ama has passed away. Well, that didn't create any impact on me. Then, suddenly another bad news appeared. Uncle Raj has passed away?! I was very shocked because it was just last few weeks I spoke to him on the phone and didn't expect that that conversation was the last one. Sadly, the day he died was the day I sent the Christmas card addressed to him. I was very confident that next year after my graduation I would definitely meet him and will tell him lots of stories about my life. However, it seems God can't wait to have him by His side. I think I'm going to miss him. He was the only person who always had a confidence in me with whatever I do; where everyone against and argued about my courage. I can still remember his weak voice on the phone saying that he was very happy and proud of me. One thing I regretted for not telling him was that there was one time when I seldom visit him and one day we met at the bus station; he was going to KL. He asked me whether I still remember him. I said no I don't but actually I do remember him; as the person who was loving and caring and he took care of me when I was young. I do remember that but I didn't mention that to him. Now, I wish he knew about it.
