Watching Whitney Houston's memorial service now... it is such an emotional event...
When I heard about the news of her passing, it was so shocking... such a heart breaking news... she has always been one of my favourite singer... from my teenage years till now, her songs has always been with me through good and bad times... such a beautiful person, wonderful and incredible voice and talent... I'm glad that I got to experience her music in my lifetime...
Thank you so much, Whitney, for all the memories... May you rest in peace in the heavens above... We will always love and miss you... ♥♥

"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for
richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
Firstly and once again, I would like to congratulate my beautiful dearest best friend, Su Ann, for her wedding with her sweetheart, Joe Han...
It was indeed a very sweet, touching, beautiful and lovely wedding... I can say it was the best wedding I have ever been to... Su Ann has put so much time and effort into it... making preparations and arrangements even into the smallest details for this special day which turns out so wonderful... the colour theme for her wedding was BLUE & GREY... venue at Parkroyal Hotel...
I was one of Su Ann's bridesmaids together with Susan... making 3 of us together...
The morning session which is the ROM was held at the hotel's garden overlooking the beautiful beach... red carpet was laid out, chairs are being arranged with blue ribbons tied to them and a lovely arch are being set up overlooking the beach which makes the scene so beautiful... as the flower girl walks in 'sprinkling' flower petals on the ground, followed by Su Ann's two beautiful and cute nieces and of course not forgetting the bridesmaids (three of us were all so nervous about the walk that we even tried to practise it late in the middle of the night at the vacant garden in the dark... hahaha), and finally, here comes the lovely bride of the day wearing a long beautiful custom made white wedding gown tied with blue ribbon walking down the aisle holding her brother's arm... as about to reach the end of the aisle, suddenly Su Ann stop to give her beloved dad a kiss and a hug which brings tears to everyone's eyes as it was so touching and beautiful... and this is the first time ever I cried in a wedding... tears of joy...
Su Ann requested us bridesmaids a few months back to make preparations to give a speech during her wedding dinner... when I first heard it, I was so reluctant as I have this stage fright where nervous will start to set in, your hands and mouth are shaking, eyes become blurry, voice shaking too and your mind will blank out... serious, isn't it??? Hahaha... Anyway, I agreed and promised her that I will do my very best to give a speech for her special wedding in spite of maybe I will black out on stage... Hahaha...
So as the night starts progressing and the time starts approaching for me to give my speech on stage, I was very nervous, of course... but I managed to give my speech (*jumping with joy*) and pull it through in front of nearly 300 people... so scared... I can notice my voice shakes a bit but I delivered it as I promised... (anything for you, just for you)... attached in the end is my speech written especially for you, dear Su Ann... I really hope you like it... :)
The night went on by with special appearance by Santa Claus giving out presents to the children, and a speech by the best man - Andrew... followed by a toast by the toast master - Alfred (also another best man)... then there were the first dance for the newly weds and then joined in by the bridesmaids and best mans and the family members and friends... of course not forgetting the traditional throwing of flower bouquet by the bride to the single ladies (it used to be a superstition that anyone who got something from the bride
would have good fortune in finding a mate - thus who catches the flower bouquet gets
married next) and a speech given by Joe...
All in all, as how Susan puts it, "So
happy to witness and also to be part of such a beautiful & blessed
wedding - something old, something new, something borrowed, something
blue.. there were lotsa simple yet precious & touching moments filled with
so much ♥, laughter, happiness & even tears of joy for everyone to
cherish & bring home.."
Lastly, this is my bridesmaid's speech to the lovely couple :-
"Good evening! I am Loretta, one of the bridesmaids for
our lovely bride. I want to start by congratulating the bride and groom, which
by the way look absolutely stunning and gorgeous today. On behalf of them I would
like to thank everyone for
sharing their day by
coming here tonight.
Su Ann, when I think back on our adventures since
school days, I have nothing but fond memories. You have always been such a
great friend to me in so many ways. We’ve had a lot of fun and laughter
together and you have always been there for me when things were tough. You are one of the kindest, sweetest, most
generous and unselfish people I have ever known.
And Joe, it’s been such a pleasure getting to know you
for the past couple of years. I know that you love Su Ann with all your heart
and you will cherish her for the rest of your life.
My greatest wish for both of you is that your love for
each other will deepen and grow in years to come. I also wish you will have a
continued loving friendship and partnership, that you’ll enjoy success and
laughter and be blessed with lovely children.
Last but not least, may you both continue to love, respect, and take care
of each other and may your marriage be blessed with lots of happiness. I wish you the very best and
all my love to the both of you. Thank you."

love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the
intertwining stories told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City

This is how the great speech goes:- "It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and
celebrate the new year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone
by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made
and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or
closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt coz that is what new
years is all about - getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do
better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about
what if and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at
midnight and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind
to each other. And not just tonight but all year long... "
So let's countdown to 2012... hope the year 2012 will bring all of us more love, happiness, luck, wealth and health... Happy New Year, everyone...

A heartbreak is a blessing from God. It's just his way of letting you realize he saved you from the wrong one... (",)
if he misses you, he will call you, don't go wondering if he saw your missed call or not if he wants to see you, he will make a plan with you, don't go chasing after him! if he loves you, he will make sure you know, don't go digging in his deep inside! if he believes you are the one, he will find you and will never let you go...
STOP analyzing his behavior, STOP doubting his intention,
YOU ARE A WONDERFUL LADY, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S HIS LOSS!!!!
Question : How do you recover from a broken heart? After the love of your life crushes your heart into pieces? After everything you've been hoping and dreaming of came crushing down? Do you cry your eyes out? Get drunk? Find a rebound guy? Do something stupid and ridiculous? Why is it call a broken heart when it feels like every part of you is broken and crushed into pieces?
How would you face him again? Can you still remain as friends with him? How if he already found someone else? Before you could even get over him? You wonder how he could move on so fast after being together for so long... it's like you don't even mean anything to him? You keep asking yourself what did you do wrong... why did he choose her instead of you... what does she got that you don't... questions keep rushing inside your mind with no answers which is so torturing for yourself...
You cry yourself to sleep the first few weeks in the beginning... you tell your friends you are okay when the truth is you are dying inside... you put on a smile when you are out so that no one would know how deeply crushed you are... you fall asleep hoping you won't wake up... or hoping when you wake up and it is all a bad dream... you feel like the world just fall apart for you... you feel so hopeless and restless... so sad, depressed and you ask yourself what is the meaning of life without him by your side now... you have built your entire life around him and suddenly it is all gone to waste... all the years together, all the laughter and everything you shared together... WHY, you keep asking yourself...
A friend once told me if he is yours, no matter what he'll come back for you... and it is his lost that he doesn't appreciate you... he said you got to love yourself and show him that it is his mistake to let you go... and never ever give up on love...
Yes, at first you will be afraid to trust another person... you will be afraid to fall in love again... you are afraid to give your heart to another and put your whole self out there cause you are afraid to get hurt again... you ask yourself will you ever end up alone or if there is really someone out there for you... you blame Cupid and Fate for bringing the two of you together... and you wish the next time you could forward into time and see how the ending is and see whether it is all worthwhile to go on when someone else come along cause you don't want to get hurt again...
Well... you just have to be strong, lift yourself up and move on... forget about him cause you can't change the past... you could only learn from the experiences... I know it's hard and it's easier said than done... but in time everything will work out as it is destined to be... God and time will heal your broken heart and you will find the right person in the right place, the right time and for the right reasons... Love is supposed to be easy and it shouldn't be hard... if you ever have to second guess your position in someone's life then it is a wrong relationship to be in... someone who truly loves you will love you no matter what and he would be proud to show you off to the whole world...
I know it's not easy to forget the love you once had... and no matter how long you have already broken up, a small part of you will always hurt when you see them with someone else or even heard news about them... a part of you will always love the person...
I know how it feels like having your heart ripped into pieces, believe me... that is why I'm taking one day at a time to heal my broken heart... keep breathing and keep taking deep breathes when you feel like your heart is gonna stop by all the hurt inside... hurt till it hurts no more... Take all the time you need to heal emotionally... Moving on doesn't take a
day, it takes lots of little steps to be able to break free of your
broken self... The pain of having a broken heart is not so much as to kill you, yet not so little as to let you live... Having a broken heart is like having broken ribs. Nobody can see it, but it hurts every time you breathe...Yes, love hurts but what is life without love... ♥
It was almost 20 years ago when we first met... (Wow! Time really flies, don't they?)... I could still remember vaguely that it was our first day in a brand new secondary school, St. George's Girls' School... I can still remember how we used to hang out together during school hours as well as after school hours (remember those times in Komtar as well as in parties?) Hahaha...
After high school, each one of us went our different ways to pursue our dreams... going to different colleges and end up in different career path... but however, we always try to stay close to each other through all these years... going to parties and clubs (during our younger years), meeting for lunch/dinner, shopping, exercising, etc...
We would always confine and seek advise in one another whenever there is a problem that is bothering us... no matter if it involves boyfriends, work place, family or friends... we have always talk things out in the open as we trust each other with our secrets... (I can proudly say, you girls are the only ones that knows a lot of my dark inner secrets that no one else knows about)... And each one of us have our own unique way which complements one another and we know we will always be there for each other... That is the beauty of our friendship...
It is just so hilarious when we think back of the past during our schooling days... we were talking about it some time back and we just can't stop laughing our way through... it was the best time ever with no worries... It was just school, teachers, studying, exams and friends... All of us can still remember one event (and I am very sure those of you who are in the same class as us can remember), where Ms Pon, who threw her lunch (nasi kandar/lemak) at one of our dear friend who just happens to sit behind us cause she was doing her acccounting homework under the table which involves using the calculator instead of paying attention in her BM class while she was teaching... everyone was shocked especially us who was just so close by, luckily no one was hit by the lunch or injured from that... I could still remember Ms Pon said 'I didn't know BM class need to use the calculator'... and after that she just walk out of the classroom... It was really a laughing case when we think back... :)
Now after going through the first part of our life together, I know our friendship have grown a solid foundation... there are a lot more for us to go through (meeting our Mr. Right, settling down, getting married, having children and grandchildren...) and I am very sure we will always be there for each other supporting one another... And I am particularly happy for one of my dearest best friend, Su Ann, who have found her life partner and will be settling down soon this year... Wishing you all the happiness in this world, dear...
Thinking back of all the years, the joy, the laughter and the tears, it is just so amusing how simple a friendship can be... seeing how one another have grown from a clueless little girl to who we are today... all the memories will always be with us and I know we will always cherish those times together...
I also would like to take this opportunity to thank both of you gals for always being there for me no matter what... through the happy and the hard times... through the laughter, the joy and the tears together with me... I will always cherish our friendship above all and I am so happy and proud to have you gals in my life...
BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!! Love you gals forever and always... xoxo
A best friend is always there,
whether you need advice,
or a pep talk,
or even a shoulder to cry on.
A best friend listens with her heart
and is always honest with you,
even though the truth may not be what you want to hear.
A best friend knows all your secrets,
understands your fears,
shares your dreams.
A best friend never stops believing in you,
even if you give up on yourself.
You are that kind of friend to me.
And no matter what happens,
you always will be.
You are my best friend....
my forever friend.
