There will always be times in life where you just don’t feel like you can do everything on your own. That is the moment when need a friend. Does this mean we need to have as many friends as we can? You don’t have to. Sometimes, one good, true friend is all you need. A good friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. They are someone whom you can share tear and joy together.
I’m sure every one of you would agree with me that everyone in this world need a best friend. And for the ladies, will it be even better if your best friend is also your boy friend? I would like to share with you a story of mine about my best friend who is also my boy friend. I’ve known him for as long as I could remember. He is one of the best people I’ve ever met. Whenever I face with any problem, he is definitely the first person that I turn to. I enjoyed spending time together with him. Especially, when we share jokes and laugh together. We even share the deepest, darkest secret with each other. Our friendship is bond by years of trust and understanding. I could never imagine how different my life would be if he were never appeared in my life.
We have never argued before except for this one incident. It all started from my own selfishness. I knew that he really cares for me a lot and eventually I started to take things for granted. I did something that could jeopardize our friendship. It makes him to lose his trust on me. I can see through his eyes the disappointment that he felt. Even I couldn’t forgive myself for what I have done. I felt very guilty for the pain that he suffered because of me.
However, I do not know of any way that can make him forgive me. I don’t want to lose my best friend. But what can I do to make things right again? We no longer talk with each other anymore. I feel like my whole world had collapse. How I wish that I could turn the clock around and go back to the time where we used to be so close to each other.
Then, there was one day; I saw an envelope on my desk. I recognized his handwriting. A letter from him? Immediately I opened the letter. I really can’t believe what I am seeing with my own eyes. He FORGIVE me! That is the best day in my life. I have my best friend back again. He is not only loving and caring. He shown me that forgiveness is also part of love.
For all the ladies here, do you wish to have a boy friend that will forgive all your wrong doing and still love you for who you are?
Actually every one of you already has one. It is no other than our own father who loves us unconditionally. The man that is my best friend is actually my beloved father. So for all the ladies, do appreciate your father for all the things that he have done for you. And for the gentlemen, I hope that you will be a man who takes care of your children with endless love.

My very First Speech
“Hey, girls! Let me tell you something. The new girl in our class doesn’t even know how to speak in Mandarin. I wonder is she a Chinese.” This is the statement that all my primary school friends used to describe me. I tried my best to speak in a proper way so that everyone can understand what I am trying to say. Eventually, it failed. Whenever I speak, they will look at me, and wonder what is this girl trying to say? It took me about 2 years to learn to speak fluently in Mandarin.
I grew up in a small town in Kampar, Perak. However, my whole family shifted to Muar, Johor when I was in primary 5. I was brought up in a town where everyone communicates in Cantonese. And somehow, I shifted to a place where nobody understands my language. So this is why I seemed like an alien to my new friends there.
It was very tough for me at first. There was a major change of environment and it was very hard for me to adapt to it. However, I am grateful that all my new friends are very kind. They really help me a lot during that rough moment. Without them, I would not be the person I am today.
After few years together, it is time for us to separate and go on with our own path of life. Some of them went oversea to pursue their study. As for me, I came to study at Kuala Lumpur. Maybe it is because that I’ve gone through many tough times before, so to leave my family and friends behind and move to a new place to study is not a problem for me. There is just one thing that I missed the most. It is my mom’s nagging.
After 2 years of studying, pursuing my diploma, I realized that I gain nothing much. Beside the diploma certificate that I am holding, what did I learnt? That is the moment I felt totally empty. I want to learn something. But what it is? It was then my ex-classmate, who is my current housemate, Erica bring me to a club. It was no other that Toastmaster. She was so excited, telling me a lot of stories about the previous toastmaster’s club.
She told me that people at the club can talk very well. I wonder what does she means. I feel that I can talk well too. That time, I told her, don’t worry, I confirm will join the club together with you. However, after my first visit to the club, I told Erica “hey, I don’t think I will join the club. Half of my confident is gone when I see them deliver their speech. I am very scared to join the club”.
After that she persuaded me to join the club several times. I know I wanted to join as well. Just that I am really very scared. Scared of what? I don’t know. After convinced myself for some time, finally I made up my mind to join. A thousand miles journey start with a first step. The hardest way is to take the first step. So I told myself, if I want to improve myself, I need to make that decision. I signed up as the member.
I thought that I’ve made the toughest decision. But well, it is not. After a tough decision, a tough action follows. It is to deliver the first speech. I got nervous whenever I think of my first speech. Finally, here I am. Challenge myself. Erica told me that, you will feel different after your first speech. You will feel very motivated to deliver your second speech. Is that true? I don’t know yet. However, I will find it out real soon.
I challenge myself to finish 10 speeches in 1 year start counting from today. When there’s a will, there’s a way. No matter how hard it is, I will try my best to accomplish my goal. Lastly, I would like to express my warmest gratitude to Erica for bringing me to join this club. Let us improve together.

My Make-up Practice
Wow...finally, I'm having my semester break. Have been suffered for so long and the moment that I've been waiting for is finally arrive. Well, I thought of helping my dad at his shop during my break. But since he have enough workers now, I am all free. Nothing much to do at home. So I just take out all my make up stuff and thought of practicing my make-up skill. haha...
I'm not a frequent user. Just bought one or two cosmetic here and then. Without realising it, I got quite a number of cosmetic. Haha...
See my face? Look so pale, withou dark circle and eye bag, look so dull.
First, I apply concealer on my dark circle and some scars on my face. Next, I used a mousse foundation. It is very soft and fe
el comfortable when it is applied to my face. After that, I put on some blusher on cheeck.
Notice that the eye bag and dark circle is gone? But still my eyes look very dull. Need to work on it...
Next step is to choose the right colours to blend. I chose silver and dark blue. I like silver because it is easy to mix with any other colour.
I used dark blue and applied it at the inner eye lid and slower blend with silver to create a 2-tone effect. Of course, it must be done very carefully to make sure both eyes will look the same. If dark colour is too thick and it is not blend nicely, it will make you look like beaten up by someone. Again, it needs practice.
After done with eye shadow, I moved on to drawing eye liner. I chose black color pencil eye liner. It is easier to use. Since I'm still a beginner, using liquid eye liner is still very hard for me. If I'm not carefull, it will create a messy effect. After finished that, I curled my eye lashes and put on mascara.
Lastly, I put on some lip gloss to make my lips shine. Here is the outcome...

Exam Stress
I've been struggled real hard for my final examination. Studied day and night. Finally, few days before my final exam started, I decided that i should take a break. Time to pamper or reward myself. I went out with my housemate, Wen Foo ( we call him Tiger) to enjoy a dinner.
We went to Jusco Cheras Selatan. We chose to dine at a Hong Kong Style "char chan teng" (cafe).
Notice the dark circle under my eyes? thanks to Utar
My housemate
Overall, the food is nice and the price is reasonable. I guess it is below RM 14 for 1 set of meal, which included a main course, drink, soup and dessert.
It's a great deal. Just that, the service is only satisfactory. The waitress is not that friendly. I guess nothing is perfect. As long as the good is nice and cheap, then it is fine.

Earning Earning Earning
OK, i know i deserve a scold. It is 2.06AM now and guess what is on my mind now? How come I saw so many students are starting to earn money while I earn zero? Yeah yeah, with exam is just around the corner, I know I shouldn't think of all this but to focus on my study.haha...
You see, with the advancement in technology, even student can start their own business through online now. Start from blogging. I really wanted to try to earn via blogging. But too bad. Weak in English, lack of ideas... So, it seems like impossible to me. Oh, wait. Add 1 more excuses, I'm lazy to update my blog.
Next, how else do they earn money? Do you know the power of forum? Nah, I've tried it once. No business... Maybe, again, my own laziness. I did not really put in the effort in promoting my products. I got friend who is successful in doing business through forum. I told my parents about that. However, my dad wouldn't believe me. What a cold blanket. I swear that I will prove him wrong... (eventually I fail).
So, I was just thinking what can I do to earn some extra income for myself...Maybe during my coming semester break, i should give it one more try. Shouldn't give up so easy, right? Winner never quit, quitter never win. Haha...
