Heh lo

Updating to wash away the negative 'aura' of my blog due to the complain posts recently.
Life's treating me good recently, and I thank everyone who makes effort to colour my day :) I guess talking (either face2face or chatting) or meeting with people can easily brighten up my day! Yes those 'trivial' things others may regard is a 'big' thing to me :D

Soon I will have my dad within arms reach and I can't be more glad! The only thing is...... assignment, duing in 4 days which is NO GOOD. Pleaseeeeeee remind me not to laze around too much anymore coz I am seriously running out of time, with a chance of not completing the task with my best :S

Had so much going on this lovely yet hectic week I hope I can post the pictures in the next post!

PS. I am in the Rooftop Prince and Step Up 4 fever.... Han Ji Min unnie <3 p="p">




TTFN! ( Ta-Ta-For-Now)

My gratitude

Heyyyylo. It's been a while, again. TOOOO many surprising special things have happened these 2 weeks :D

Shall we start from My birthday surprises? ;)
Three days before me turning eighteen, hestya visited me from Melbie! What a nice surprise caused apparently she came one day earlier than the date she told me. Was shocked yet delighted to finally being able to catch up with her. Went for a city tour guided by me and Ian for those 5 amazing days... <3

Anyways on the midnight of 27th Feb, sisters prepared a sweet little surprise + with the help of titi :3

Look at all those balloooooons and the 'Happy Birthday' sign! Was spoiled being the little girl in the family :;)


Next surprise came from Indo friends here... beloved foundi peers ;)

 They actually baked the cake themselves, and wrote those drawings on the cake. I'm being honest here, the cake tastes soooooo good! The inside is so dense and sweet and I could feel their love HEHE <3 They also folded a bouquet of flowers from thick papers ( Don't know what it's called) and put it in an empty cup of my favorite bubble tea drink ;) Inside the straws their wishes I swear they were so sweet hahaha

Went to school for 3 hours afterwards and wished a girl which has the same birthday as mine, a happy birthday! Her name is Monique, she's from Hk and she's 20th now! :)

Mind my flappy arms :X

Skipped classes for the first time to accompany titi roaming around the city for half of the day.. Went home to get ready for dinner with sisters and closed the day with surprises from VOC and #7wonders :;)

 

Was a spoiled princess that day! <33333333

Lengthy post it is, but I couldn't thank God enough for bringing all those amazing people into my life and never walk out til this second. They played a massive role in shaping me into who I am today.. So THANK YOU guys.. My life feels half complete ;)

Treat me right, 2011

Hello again!
Can you believe it's that time of the year already? 2011 will soon come to an end!

How has 2011 treated you? ;)
It has been treating me awesomely good! I'm utterly grateful nothing horrible has happened throughout the year! Can't thank the Buddha enough for the blessings to me and family.


These 345 days I proudly say I have not just grown older, but more mature. Coming here, far away from home is truly an eye-opener. I am able to not cling to the past, instead live in the present, aim for the future.

Some things still need to be fixed, though.
Since I used to live on my own for 4 years, now I have to adapt to living with my sisters.
I didn't know living by my own could change my attitude so much, for real. For those 4 years, I needn't think about the others. I woke up by myself, went home from school by myself, played by myself, ate sometimes by myself, and finally slept by myself. The world revolves around me only.

But it's different now. The world just doesn't revolve around me only anymore.
I woke up with sister by my side. Dinner sometimes with them. Shared stories with them. Slept with a sister.



How does it differ, you ask?
Since I had been living like I am the only child, I became more selfish. It just occurred spontaneously, unexpected. All I had to do was to mind my own business. Buy my own things. Play by my own. But that attitude should not be carried here. Not if I live with my family. True, not?

Apart from that lesson, this year has taught me many many many others. I hope the same goes to you guys too! Have a fabulous closing of the year everyone! Merry early Christmas! Enjoy the festive season of the year :D

Sister love

If I

I've been abandoning my blog for weeks. It's September...already. I'm creeping inside, nervous and anxiety overwhelm me every time I think about leaving. I've been distracting myself from that thought, and delay packing. It's no good. but I simply wish I could lie to reality... Why am I this scared of leaving hometown for a while? I've been saying the reason is not being able to see my loved ones every time I feel like. Maybe it's true.. But to think about it now, absence makes the heart grows fonder, no? Maybe I just fear they won't miss me so much like I will..or even..forget about me. Being 4286 miles apart from them definitely will feel like in hell at times. Longing for them yet can't reach them. Don't you think so?

But if I ponder a bit longer, I'll return to the starting point. Why am I going to leave? To pursue my studies. I don't know I've ever mentioned this or not, but studying overseas has been my dream for ages. Living 8 hours flight away from my parents, loved ones, and having no helpers like housemaid or driver at all....are the price I have to pay during the time. But I know, on the other side, living this way could make me grow up. At least more mature. It's gonna be worth it..and with the title and degree I'll achieve. I hope studying in Sydney will be an eye-opener as well as me answering the golden opportunity. I shall nail everything. Sadhu3x

A beautiful gift in life

Yesterday was Indonesian 66th Independence Day. It was a national holiday but I didn't see any traditional celebrations such as Panjat Pinang, etc in Medan. Well not that I know of. There wasn't any patriotism shown by me like wearing red and white clothes, or batik, none of them. I was upset in the afternoon, hence all my mind focused on it. Funny isn't it, although we've known we shouldn't always have high expectations we just won't care, and keep expecting...and expecting. And in the end, it's us ourselves that get hurt. Such an irony.

I'm lucky to always have someone to stand with me during the bad times, not only the good times. There are times I feel like doing nothing and desperately want to embrace nature. That came to me yesterday afternoon. When there are problems and I could no nothing but going with the flow, I would always go to my best girlfriend. She always knows what to say, how to support me. I could simply utter all my uneasy feelings, regrets, doubts, fears.. and she would listen thoroughly, sometimes offering useful solutions. She's probably the only friend up til now that has the most similar way of thinking to mine. When everyone else would judge me wrong, she'd stand with me and say 'Don't listen to them. Listen to your heart.'

And as always, yesterday she helped me go through my downs. I was slightly hurt, having doubts of what the future might be. But it works like magic, meeting and talking to her. My burden was lifted, all left is optimism. I went home with all the good things in my mind.

Our friendship works two ways, we always support each other. Only when we find faults in another, we'll point them out, discussing the problem and together thinking of a solution. We don't judge, we share.

I love her, like no other. 4 years of friendship..and still counting, K. :') 


With all my heart I hope nothing will ever tear us apart, and we'll always stay this way...for good.♡


xoxo

Winny Teh

By the way, one of the people that keeps on being true to me are definitely my dearest bestfriend and darling boyfriend. They both have been making my days lately ♡

 

And this man keeps asking me to expose who my boyfriend is to public :p

Bye bye January, please be SPECIAL February ♡

January has come to an end. Time sure flies but I bet I had the most adventurous January ever ; )
The VOC inauguration, Pantai Labu Social Service with almost other 100 Sutomo1 students, the first Pindapatta experience, and many more! I'm hoping the next 11 months of 2011 will be the same awesome :)

Tonight is the 30th day according to the Lunar Calendar and tomorrow will be the Lunar New Year :) Me and family will be leaving in approximately 16 hours and I hope all of us can arrive and return back to Medan safe and sound, with joy and excitement overwhelming :D

So following the tradition, tonight my family (and of course most other families) will be having so-called reunion dinner.I think my family is not very excited because our family is incomplete..yes without grandma now around : / I can't bear to recall last year's Lunar New Year, the whole merry celebration.. I simply wish Gradma could be with us later this night, I hope she will.. :')

Anyway, I'm going to abandon my blog (again) for another week and I wish all of you and myself happy holidays! Happy Lunar New Year as well for those who celebrate :D may this Rabbit Year brings more luck, experience, and wisdom : )


l o v e,
Teh. Winny ♡

I've missed blogging.

Eighteen days without a single post. Since I'm about to have holidays, I can't be more excited for my first trip with the whole family :) Get to play around with all nieces and nephews, I'm looking forward to the fun!
This will actually be my first time not being in Medan during the first few days of Lunar New Year. How I wish my two lovelies can come along as well, too bad they're too far : /
 So some of exciting views and happenings..

Pantai Labu Social Service

It appeared that after uploading the photos I've rotated didn't appear as seen. So please mind some of them :p

So by the way, this whole party thing is surely gonna kept me occupied until next month. At first, I didn't plan on another party since I don't think being seventeen is somewhat special, unlike sixteen. Considering many other aspects, I'm now planning to throw one this year. I'm also trying my best to be a good party planner, and if only Mom would cooperate with me, it'll be much easier :'/

Anyway, everything is still in plan. There are still chances it might be canceled or anything. I can just have my fingers crossed for my upcoming...special day.
