A Fish Bone History...

The bone which caused me pain and fear but it was an experience not to be forgotten throughout my life. Thanks for your concern, my dear friends...

To Sally, thank you so much for being the first one to comment always. I am so touched by your support.

To Kenneth, thank you so much for visiting my blog. Yes, it is alive again and it'll always be.

Take care and be watchful of the fish bone before swallowing!

ALL THE BEST to everyone!

Finally, now I believe that dreams do come true.

Bye bye for now...

God Bless...

A Week Before My New Life, I...

Aloha! I am back again! But this time... As promised... A story to be revealed...

A Week Before My New Campus Life, I...

1. Was eating dinner on the 20th of June and it was 'ikan kembung' which Mom has cooked. Half way eating and talking through the phone with Teacher Celine... I just swallowed whatever that was in my mouth without actually biting it well and something poked me real hard down my throat. I knew that it was a fish bone and I tried to take it out but failed. So, my parents and a friend of mine, Yi Ming, who came to my house to settle some Uni stuffs, she's going to pursue Psycology in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) by the way, advised me to swallow big spoon of rice and pumpkin without actually biting them... Oh well, mission failed... I used my finger to feel the bone in my throat while my friend was tapping my back as if I was vomitting but nothing worked. It wasn't choking, so, St. John's life-saving methods couldn't be used as well. Anyways, both my friend and I are St. John members. Finally, my Dad gave me a RM 50.00 note and asked my Mom to fetch me to see Dr. Leong and after that offer a lift to Kepong as it was late and my friend needs to go home to shower and all. I was the fourth patient and when it was my turn to see the doctor, he asked me to sit on the bed with my eyes focused towards to spot light and when he saw the fish bone on the left side, he grabbed a tool, asked me to freeze myself like a robot, and there you have it, the fine, thin fish bone is out! Oh, thank God! That's not all... I should be happy that the bone was out... But something else strucked me because of what my finger did to torture my throat...

2. Got a sorethroat after the fish bone incident. Dr. Leong gave me a bottle of medicine to guggle and if I still experience pain in my throat I gotta go back to him and get some antibiotics to cure the germs and bacterias that the fish bone might have in store for me. I didn't refer to Dr. Leong after I finished the bottle of the liquid given because I think it wasn't necessary to do so and it was such a waste of money as it wasn't a big matter that needed so much attention to it. I have to go for medical check-up for my University's requirements. Of course I don't want the other doctor to know that I was at that time under medication especially when the urine test says it all. Therefore, the sorethroat occurs and I still enjoy life... Like went out for a movie (A Thai Ghost Movie - Alone) and dinner at 1U with my 3 gal seniors, one of them is studying in UM now, so, she has been helping me lots in my Uni preparation and all... Last night I went out with both my Uncles and their gfs for Dinner and tea... I was the star for the day and I felt truly honoured because the course that we had was expensive! It was a Japanese course and it is situated in Ampang. It was my first time there and it is named Hajime. They said that even Japanese commented the food there are dear. We had sashimi right up to sushi, and it was almost RM 350.00 for five of us. After that, we went for coffee at Coffee Bean in Bangsar. I have never been to that shopping centre, too... Overall, I think RM 400.00 bucks spent on food and beverages alone... Guess what? We had sake and cold mee, too, in Hajime... Everything first time... It was a great experience and they are all so kind to me... Since the movie day, I...

3. Suffer from flu till now. Haha, got a cold from GSC's air-condition and here I am now with an irritating voice and nose! Hehe... I cough and sneeze from time to time... Never fell sick for quite awhile and it chose this week for me to be ill... Hope I will be okay by July... Orientation week's gonna be rough and dirty...

To Sally, I have added you into my link! Thanks for commenting!

To Ko Ko, I am proud of you also! It seems that I am the first one in Soh family to enter UM, is that true? Anyways, we went back to see Ah Ma at the Nursing Home and she is in good condition. Don't worry so much... Her appetite and all are very well taken care of. Will send to you a secret video I took but it wasn't that clear... Please wait for it, ok?

I have applied for JPA scholarship so far and sent the documents already. I hope that everything's okay because I think a lot and ask myself whether I got do mistakes or anything like that or not... Hmmm... worry... worry...

Tonight I will be meeting my Form Six classmates at a 'mamak' restaurant in Selayang. Just a small gathering but a meaningful one I hope. We will all go to different routes from now on and some are not even as fortunate as me. I don't know why... I am thankful for this offer and may God Bless everyone in the whole wide world!

Mina-san (Everyone), thanks for reading once again and see you next time! Hopefully with more graphics than words... Haha, we'll see... Oyasuminasai (Good Night)... Jya.

A Step To The Future

Dear readers and bloggers,

First thing first, thank you for spending your time to view my blog.
It is just a simple and empty one but it won't stay in that position for long.
Today I will inform a splendid news to everyone around the globe to know that from now onwards my life will change completely. It wasn't the fact that when I reach 20 everything will just change in a blink of an eye but to realize that I am still growing up into maturity, things around me change as well.

In a week's time, I will set my foot at the most prestigious University in Malaysia-Universiti Malaya (UM). Some people may think and feel that it is ridiculous for a person like me to be able to get such a good entry to further my studies in a University such as UM, but I don't think the doubts should be commented or even be questioned because I did what I did, and I got what I got. It is as simple as that. I am no super girl or anything like that, I just played my part as a student, as a daughter, as a sister, and as a friend. This is truly God's Blessing towards me and not to forget the full support from my loved ones and friends. If you were to ask my immediate family members and Form Six friends about how I spent my two years studying for STPM examination, the answer that they would most probably give is that I always cry during day or night and God hears my cry and silent prayers all the time whenever I feel tensed or compared. There was once I boycott my studies and I wanted to abort studying Form Six. In the end, with God's help by my family, teachers, and friends, I stood up again as a Form Six student. I began to be more active and sociable and not having friendship problems anymore. I was new to the school but I will not make it a reason. What has past has past. Like they say, "Let bygones be bygones" and in a nutshell, I am moving on as myself and I think everyone should, too.

I am very blessed, glad, happy, and grateful to be accepted as one of the qualified students in UM. I am not saying that UM is great or anything like that (for the fact that it is great in itself according to its history if you know it), I just felt that I am still dreaming in my own dream and fantasyland. I even asked my Mom once when she was driving that is it for real I am entering UM? You know... It is like... Has my Mom ever thought that I, her daughter, will enter UM? Oh, whose parents do not hope for excellence in their children's life? I am sure all parents want to see their children fly high in whatever they do. Anyways, I just received my offer letter yesterday and I am now busy preparing for Uni life and also applying for scholarships. So far, I only applied one and it is a great competition out there.

To those who are still blur about my course... Don't worry because I will show you the link that leads to my course's information. Feel free to log on to the website for more details, alright? Thanks very much! For my first year, which will start in July this year, I will study Arts in General because it is Bachelor of Arts course! I have no rough idea about what it is but I will certainly update you guys about it much later on. As for my second year, I can choose which course I would like to major in. I will most probably choose East Asian Studies, which enables me to be part of the Student Exchange programme to Japan for a year during the course. Besides that, I will also learn more about Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea), and Chinese (China) culture, tradition, modernization status, as well as history and most importantly, language. It also has a blend of international relations among these countries. To me, it is a good start for myself as I wasn't Chinese educated since young but I do know how to speak Chinese as it is my mother tongue. My weakness is that I do not know how to read and write most of the Chinese characters and writings. My course is a 3 years course and it is equivalent to 6 semesters. As I have promised earlier, this is the link that will bring you to the course that I am about to explore...

I have a foster family in Nagasaki and my Okaasan would like me to go to Japan again. She also agrees that I should take this programme as my major course after completing my first year. We have not met for the last 4 years now and I miss and love her so much. We still keep in touch via e-mail. She writes and speaks English. She learns and teaches English. That is what I admire about Japanese people-they never stop learning even when they reach their retirement age. That's the word! There is never a thing called retiry in the Bible of their lives. They work all the time. They live a healthy and happy lifestyle. Amazing strength! But of course, a workaholic should know his or her limits. There's gotta be more to life, don't you think?

Oh, well, I guess I shall call it a night now (hehe... it is 1:10 in the morning-Malaysia time-now), so, I I must get back to my brother's desk to read what the offer letter and all the other documents have in store for me before I sleep. Will be going to my Form Six school (for the third time already) today at around 9:00 a.m. to see the Principal and my Teacher(s). I need to certify some documents, that's why... Once again, thank you for lots your time and see you next time! Hehe... My next story is about my new life and before that, I will tell you what happened to me two nights ago. Want some clues? One clue:fish bone. Keep those ideas coming in based on the clue! I will be back when I wanna come back. Till then, mattane! See you next time! Jya ne! =") Zai jian! Wan an... Oyasuminasai...

Love,
