Hehe…Just as I was browsing thru for nice comments/ graphics for the Birthday boys & girls, I found this is zwani.com. Hehe… "Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot". Hehe…=) Guess it answers to my previous post. Hihi…Anyhow, thanks too to Ah Ho, Elaine & Adrian for such a lovely comments. Ah Ho was right when he said that it’s better to know less at times. I truly agree with him. Hehe…Actually, this has remain as my philosophy ever since I went to Sabah. Haha…Ermm..well, I suppose we’ll just remain it as a history. Hee…

Elaine gave an even better comment: that everyone HAS a history that shapes them to be whom they are today. And I supposed she feels that I was lacking in my self-confidence. Well…in a way, Elaine is right. If I’m confident enough about myself, then why would I care so much about it? Aint it true? Hehe…Another thing that Laine emphasized is on thrust. Yes, I agree with her as the main ingredient of a successful relationship is based on thrust. I trust him, yes I do. Oh God, Laine, u’re so much more mature than me! Hahaha…Thanx a lot man! Gosh…Hehe…I guess, when we’re in love everything will turn topssy turvvy…Haha…Erm, wonder if I’m right or not..=P

Meanwhile, Adrian has quite a nice topic that he has brought up. Hehe…Thanx Ant! Didnt know u’ll read my blog. Coz mine is so lousy as compared to urs. Hehe…=P Great job, Ant! Ok, ok…I quote Ant: It is hard being a girl, equally hard to be a boy with a girlfriend hahaha…Though I’m a girl, but I was forced to agree with u, however it’ll be partially agreed. =P

Ok I’ll tell u all abt the outcome of my previous post ya. Hehe…I choose to see the pictures. It’s a decision that wasnt that right. Haha…but what is done is done ya. Hehe…Curiosity really kills the cat! And this proverb is absolutely true in my case. Out of curiosity, I took the courage to see it. Haha..madness…We shall leave the details behind & I will just update u abt what I think after that. It’s like I sort of regretting my actions. Wish so much to turn back time. I wish that I didnt see those pics. That’s the reason why I agreed fully to the quote-of-the-day. Hahaha….=P I wish I’d never knew so much, has more confidence in myself & it’s equally hard for my bf. =P Haha…poor thing. If only, I choose not to see those pics.

Ok, so here is where I’m gonna share my views abt what Adrian had mentioned. Well people, u see, being concern as a friend & being concern as a gf is totally different. I dont know for the rest, but for me, it’s like that. Let me give u an example: We’ll start with the role as a friend first. Ok, as a pal, half way chatting with the other party and he/she suddenly tells u that he/she has something going on (nothing urgent actually, eg. playing games), would u feel upset? No rite? Ok, u’ll tell them, ‘…it’s ok, we’ll chat some other time…’ . Am I rite? But being the gf, u are excited to chat with him to update him on your daily stuff. And halfway thru he stopped u, telliing dat it’s time for his games. What would u feel then? Hehehe…so u get what I mean? =P But like what Adrian (a.k.a Ant) said, it’s equally hard for the guy who has a gf too! I do agree with him too! What if u suddenly cant do something u like just because u have ur the other half? isnt it ridiculous? Hehe…Something to ponder….

Yeeaaaa…!!! Mooncake Festival is just around the corner. I alwiz like this time of the year. I just dont know why. Hehe…=P  Walking around the neighbourhood, eating mooncakes n drinking tea is so, so fun. Haha…seems like mesmerizing my childhood again. This year the Mid-Autumn / Mooncake Festival will falls on Sept 25.

Well, after browsing thru the origins of mooncake festive, this is what I’d found. Check it out:

According to…http://kevdesign.com/midautumnfestival/china.htm

"…… The August Moon Festival is often called the Women’s Festival. The moon (Chinese character on right) symbolizes elegance and beauty. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the ‘yin’ or female principle and it is a trusted friend. Chinese parents often name their daughters after the moon, in hope that they will be as lovely as the moon.

In fact, many ancient August Moon folktales are about a moon maiden. On the 15th night of the 8th lunar moon, little children on earth can see a lady on the moon. And on this magical occasion, children who make wishes to the Lady on the Moon will find their dreams come true.

Families get together to eat mooncakes and celebrate the end of the harvest season. Scholars write poems about the moon. This night is also made for romantic rendezvous. Friendships are made and renewed…. "

Another source from Hong Kong was saying that the origin of it was unknown (http://www.regit.com/hongkong/festival/mooncake.htm)

" This festival is also known as the Moon Cake Festival because a special kind of sweet cake (yueh ping) prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds and duck eggs is served as a traditional Chung Chiu delicacy. Nobody actually knows when the custom of eating moon cake of celebrate the Moon Festival began, but one relief traces its origin to the 14th century. At the time, China was in revolt against the Mongols. Chu Yuen-chang, and his senior deputy, Liu Po-wen, discussed battle plan and developes a secret moon cake strategy to take a certain walled city held by the Mongol enemy. Liu dressed up as a Taoist priest and entered the besieged city bearing moon cake. He distributed these to the city’s populace. When the time for the year’s Chung Chiu festival arrived, people opened their cakes and found hidden messages advising them to coordinate their uprising with the troops outside. Thus, the emperor-to-be ingeniously took the city and his throne. Moon cake of course, became even more famous. Whether this sweet Chinese version of ancient Europe’s "Trojan Horse" story is true, no one really known..."

And….*taa daa….* from Wikipedia & look for Mid-Autumn Festival!!

" The Mid-Autumn Festival is a popular Asian celebration of abundance and togetherness, dating back over 3,000 years to China’s Zhou Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar (usually around mid- or late-September in the Gregorian calendar), a date that parallels the Autumn Equinox of the solar calendar. This is the ideal time, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, to celebrate the abundance of the summer’s harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

……Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together."

Wow!! Couldnt wait for that man! Hehe…=P wonder how my gang will be celebrating it? Hmmm…sounds so interesting. To be continued……At the mean time, enjoy these pics. =P

By looking at the time (12.53am) I should be sleeping by now especially when tomorrow is a working day. Not that I could not sleep but something is bothering me. So I thought might as well just blog it down then to make my white hair grow more…Haha…=P

Well, the thing that has been bothering me about someone’s history. Is history really that important? Ok ok, u must be wondering what the h*ll this kwee hoon wanna say?? Haha..to make a long story short, i borrowed my bf’s laptop the other day. I was so tempted to see his pics. Though he might not know it anyway, if I see those pics without asking him at all, I asked anyway. hehe…U all must be thinking dat’s I wont make a good thief or spy. Hahaha…But i just feel bad to invade in other people’s privacy. So I make it a point to ask him, & he gave me the go. Yeaahhh!!

But wait a moment! I paused for quite sometime. What happen if i see something that wasnt meant for me to see? Something like he & his ex? What will i feel then? I’m pretty sure that I’ll be upset…=( But hey…I reasoned to myself, everyone has a history. It’s already a past. Btt being a gal, haha…well..ermm…you should know la rite? Dont need me to elaborate further. Hehe…=P

Ok, I physcho-ed myself, telling, ‘…it’s all over. He’s now with u…’ But when I saw those pics, I couldnt help but felt…ermm….sad?..jealous?…upset?…ermm…dont know how to describe that feeling. Yet at the same time, I knew pretty well that it wasnt his fault. It’s his history already, darling girl. But…at the same time, I was like…well…mixed feelings. Heemmm…so people, do u think I should see or not? Wont it be better sometimes, if we dont know about something too much? I always think that way. And many incident has proven me rite. Seriously. When we dont go and dig much, we dont care much about it. However, when we knew it, oh God, pls bless me. Haha…weird huh? Or it’s just me alone behaving like that? I know this kinda feelings will spoil my relationship with him, which I dont want it to happen. But i just cant help myself.

However, I was relief when he told me just now that, ‘…all that matter is i’m with u now…’ It’s true…haiii…it’s pretty hard at times to be a girl. If i have a choice, I wouldnt want to be one. I’ll choose to be a guy. A guy. Moreover, my family need now is a guy, instead of a girl. Mom & dad would be more happy to have a guy. Ok ok, dont get misunderstood. Not that my parents are treating me bad. No, no! They love me lots. Actually, even when TC (my bro) was around, I was treated better than him! Haha…Poor TC! hai…but he’s not here now. That’s why, I’ll say my parents need a son rather than a girl. Ok ok, I might be conservative but it’s facts that I’m talking about.

So how? Should I or should I not? Kindly advise. I dont believe in snooping around. But…haha….guess u know what i meant. Hopefully, my bf doesnt find my blog here. Hehe..=P but he’s kinda open minded, so i guess he wont mind la. Not say, I’m cheating on him or what. Hehe…I asked his permission okay? And it’s granted! Haha…Hai…life…how I wish, I’m still a kid. Hehehe..problems-free, stress-free…hai…

Okay la, got to go. Chiouz…Haha…something like wat TC use to say b4 leaving.Got to sleep already. 1.18am. Tomorrow my drs will be seeing a Malaysian panda!! haha…kd! Take care~
