Christmas!

I'll be home for Christmas...I think every one knows this tune.On the way to the airport that day guess what Ivan was singing; "I won't be home for Christmas...You can count on me.."hahaha
Me and Ed were laughing every time he sang that tune,well true enough we weren't home for Christmas.We went to Hong Kong on Dec 23 and came back on Dec 27.Well I made this little travel journal so I shall post it here >>>>

DEC 23,
It's 9:27 pm,I'm seating in the plane and guess what I was doing?hahahahaha,I was messaging all my friends and left them a Christmas greeting.I of course messaged dad first...with the three of us gone,my parents were home alone for Christmas.Erm...my dad didn't really liked it and yea he was blacked face alright.Poor mom had to endure it for 5 days...hahaha,sorry mom!

10:20 pm, The TV was playing some chinese movie which was quite nice but the ear phones really hurt my ears...


DEC 24,
12:05 am, hehehehe...I'm 'jakuning' over the view outside the window,yes,I got the window seat.The plane was flying just above the layer of clouds and it's so beautiful!The way the clouds were forming outside was awesome!

12:15 am, Trying to watch Just For Laughs but failed and I end up reading my Angel Agent again while listening to my mp3.Gee...everyone back home should be sleeping by now but I can't though.Aiyoo!There's this lady behind me sticking her feet on my arm rest as she sleeps like a pig.Ew..hehehe,shall try to poke that feet of hers with my pen!

12:22 am, Oh rite,HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE dear!Great that piggy lady's feet is getting further up my arm rest!Shesh!I feel like tossing my drink back on her.Hey,it's officially Christmas Eve!Wheee!hmm...should I poke piggy lady's feet again??

12:44 am, Okay,piggy lady finally took her wonderful smelling feet away.We're landing soon I think.My darling brother,Edmund is busy reading 'MY' P/S I Love You and OMG!He doesn't know how to take care of it!EDMUND WONG!!!!!Your so dead!

1:44 am, Welcome to HK!The rain's getting heavier and the stewardess gave us this plastic thing to drape around ourselves and asked us to run down from the plane to the bus waiting near the plane.First time I did that and wah lau...slippery and cold out there!

8:00 am, It was my turn in the bathroom.We crashed on to the bed I think at 3 something near 4 and we didn't fall asleep immediately,we were watching the Beautician & The Beast.We stayed in the Panda Hotel,they have very cute Christmas deco!I'll upload the pictures later.Ed's phone was ringing so much I nearly chucked it out of the window....I know it's time to get up but just keep quiet!!!!!!

6:07 pm, Well we had a half day city tour around HK,we picked up my Godma from her hotel and she's been going on and on about things which I know nuts of.Now we just boarded the train to Shenzhen.It's a 45 min ride and we had no seats plus we had to carry our own luggage.It's not hard,i've done it a couple of times but this time I had to take care of Ivan since mom and dad aren't here.But he's been a good boy...thank God!

8:25 pm, We are at the imigration.The officer took my passport,typed something into the computer,scanded it and started looking from the passport picture to me and to the passport again.She even had to ask me to remove my specs cause she can't recognize me,I only started to wear specs when I was 15 so my passport doesn't have a picture of me with specs on.She must have thought I was some fake or some terrorist.Ya meh???

9:45 pm, We finished our dinner and we went to a night market.We bought only one thing....DVDs!We bought up to about RMB 400!Well,we couldn't hold the temptation you know..

1:40 am, We went up to our room and came down again.We had to celebrate our godma's birthday.Didn't exactly had fun but it was ok.They made me drink red wine,I had to take it cause everybody was pushing it to me so I drank.I was bitter and that's all I could taste.I'm not a drinker so it felt like taking bitter herbal tea.We crashed on to bed at about 1:40 or so and slept instantly.


DEC 25,
7:32 am, Ed shoke me up violently and all I could hear is we're late.It took me a while to register and I immediatly got up.We ran into the toilet,brushed our teeth,washed up and began to furiously fling on our clothes.We had less than 10 minutes to gulp down our breakfast.But well we weren't the only late ones so hahaha...we managed to eat but ed had to work so he didn't touch any food at all.We snucked two pieces bread for him but he didn't want it so more for me and Ivan.

8:20 am, We left the hotel and yes,we were behind schedule.The tour guide in a very nice way told us not to be late again tomorrow morning but we felt guilty la..

12:06 pm, We are entering Window Of The World,this place is very nice.It's a gigantic monument or museum where they made all this miniature models of the world famous landmarks.So if you have a very low budget,go to Window Of The World,you can see the world at only RMB 240.We actually helped the members of our tour group to take pictures most of the time cause we've been here before.The only reason I came to HK this time was to learn how to tour lead from Ed,Ivan just tagged along cause he seemed so sad as he was left behind.Excuse me!When everyone went to HK in september I was the only left at home and I didn't even say anything but uncle alex says he can learn to tour lead too...hahahaha...yea right!Well what can I do if he's tears are worth a trip to HK during peak seasons.

6:00 pm, We just watched the show in The China Folk Village.It was a display of the 52 tribes in China and the costumes were very amazing!It was not a bad show but I was falling asleep towards the end of the show. =p

8:30 pm, We just finished another show called The Splendid Of China.It was a better show cause it involved fire,canons,horses and laser lightings.Again I nearly fell asleep at the end.hahahahaha!We went back to the hotel and hahaha...the three of us ordered room service.The bill was settled by me cause I kept all the RMB and HK dollars.hehehe...I shall not reveal how much I got for this trip.hahahaha....XD Oh yea...

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM,DAD,PENG YI & UNCLE ALEX,AUNT CINDY & UNCLE DANNY,CHARMAINE,DICKSON,CHERYNE,POH POH,GONG GONG,EVERYBODY AT HOME & JIA RONG,JANE,ANDY,DOREA,AMY,ANGIE & EVERYBODY I KNOW!!!!!! Happy Birthday to Dorea and Angie!!

DEC 26,
5:45 am, I'm up and awake!why???DUH!I'm going to Disneyland!

11:35 am, YEAH!!!!!We arrived in Disneyland!We checked out of the hotel earlier to make our way back to HK to go to Disneyland.I've been to Disneyland more than 5 times,so I know the routes well.I'm a big fan of it,though it seems kiddy but trust me anyone could be blown away at the things they do in Disney.We went around to do pin trading which was really cool!

9:00 pm,The entire day was just magic!I enjoyed it very much though I'm tired.We're waiting for the firewoks now.HAizz....all the horrible people in the who wouldn't sit down for the people at the back nearly got into a fight.I had my cousin on my lap and yes it was going crazily numb!We were all shouting at them asking them to sit down,and there was this lady that stood up and told the crowd standing off very nicely but everyone clapped for her!Ok,not evryone sat down but ok la...

10:30 pm, We were nearly reaching the Panda Hotel again.The fireworks were awesome!It's always breath taking!Okay I'm very tired and i need to sleep.....Nite...


DEC 27,
8:30 am, Today we had half a free day before we board the plane.So we slept until as late as possible.We eventually woke up andwent out for some breakfast and yes,....shopping.hahaha...the thing that I still find hard to do without giving up an hour later.I did the carrying the bags part as usual.

2:35 pm, We arrived at HKIA.We had to check in our luggage all the way at terminal 2 and go back all the way to terminal 1 to board the train!haizz....

5:00 pm, The plane took off only like 5 which was half an hour late.

8:50 pm, Welcome back to Kuala Lumpur!I got a lot of sms from mom n some from rachel,andrea,jane and some others.I'm really tired and I'm glad to be home....BED!!!!


Well...this is my really long account of my trip and yes it's very long...I'll upload the photos later.Till then...Ciao!!!!

CU Girls Christian Camp (Dec 10-14)

Well it's December again and as usual every year on the second week I'll be off to camp in St Mary's School in Selayang.CU Camp has been around since Ms Cooke's time cause she was the one behind it.She often take her students to Taman Negara away from studies and taught them about God and things outside the text books.


Then when BBGS was demolished,it seemed like it was all going to end but then God opened the door and this camp which once used to be only for BBGS girls is now opened to girls from every other school.I even met girls from JB,Melaka and Ipoh...it's kind of amazing to find people coming in from other states as well.


Going back to camp fo the fourth time really brings back memories and a feeling of familiarity.This year I was invited to go to camp as a subgroup leader and well I was already worn out on the day before camp started.All the leaders have to come to camp a day early to clean up the place and prepare the classrooms,confrence room,canteen and yes....the toilets as well.We all slept in the classrooms if your wondering.Each group has a classroom for themselves and we have to clean it everyday and decorate it(there's always this comp going on for our room deco...).


Hahahaha...my group well never got much points for this part cause we don't have enough stuff toys but we got full marks on the last day!


Okay...confession time,I started going to camp in form 1 and hahaha the funny thing is every year I go to camp I'll surely fall sick.So I never lasted in camp.I got mumps in form 1 and was sent home on the 3rd day of camp cause they don't want me to go about and spread it to other people right?Then in form 2 I got fever and muscle pain,form 3 I didn't go cause I was in Korea,then in form 4,everything went well actually until the last night that is...I got gastric and a touch of food poisoning.(I was the only one sick....)


hahahaha....so thank God,I'm sick free this year!Wei Chiew(a camp personnel and has been attending camp for quite a number of years) has always been helping the camp nurse every year and she told me that every time I see her I'll surely fall sick but this year I saw her and I was okay.You know why???Cause she wasn't helping the camp nurse this year!



I met a number of old friends who I go to camp with and I met a number of new ones too.It was very tiring but I seriously had fun!Being a leader is never easy but it helps to know that you don't need to do things alone.Rachel King,was my leader this year.I think she was more tired than I am...she had to lead 2 subgroups.There are 4 groups every year and each group has 2 subgroups,so the main leaders are often walking about like zombies cause they are super worn out.Plus Rachel came from another camp and it already took out a lot on her...haizz..It's okay Rachel we got your back!



Rachel is really very sweet and it was fun to work with her.She sometimes reminds me of my best friends.She's super whacky and really funny.We spent the entire camp together cause we are leading the same group and we have to discuss about things so often that we were walking about like as if we couldn't be seperated.Someone told me that if they had to look for Rachel,they'll surely find me there and vice versa.


Lights out are at 10:30 every night but me and Rachel won't be sleeping as yet.We'll be talking under the covers and discussing what to do the next day.Sometimes we whisper too loud and we end up bugging the others...hahahaha horrible leaders rite?


Camp was fun this year and the older girls who most of them became personnels this year were patting me on my back congratulating me for lasting through the entire camp without falling sick....hahaha,very funny!I learnt a lot this year though there was one awful experience,this happened on the second day.It was after the hobbies session,when I was happily walking to the canteen for our tea break after a nice sessions of ballon art.Yes,I loved making all the dogs,poodles,elephants and bears!Well I was walking to the table to collect my cup when a very distressed Rachel was walking towards me.I smiled at her and she showed me her purse which was found by one of our group members by the dustbin.I think you know what I'm about to tell you...


Yes,the money was gone.Rachel always puts her purse inside this red bag which she carries everywhere with her but just after siesta I told her to leave it behind since it was gonna be hobbies then games so I thought she could leave it behind.Me and my big mouth!We went back to our main room where we sleep to check if the money had fell out in the bag or not but once we came into the room i saw my bag wide opened as well.I ran towards it to find mine missing as well.Immediately we repeorted it to Ms Moey,we suspected the girl who had returned Rachel's lost purse.I never believe in people who return empty purses...


This made me and Rachel really very miserable and we had to lead the group like as if nothing happened.We found it hard to face the suspected in the group and the fact we had wanted to trust and opted to like the group members the moment we met them.We found more and more evidence that prove our suspicion was right.


By day 3 the theif was unmasked.What made me feel so unforgiving is the fact that she didn't show any remorse and she told her tale like as if it was some mere problem.Ms Moey made her ask forgiveness from me an Rachel but I found it so hard to stretch out my hand to shake hers and look her in the eye to say 'I forgive you."I kept reminding myself I was in a position of a leader.I need to lead the group and I can't let this damage me and the group any further.That was what was going through my mind...at least I hope I held myself straight.


Me and Rachel were still quite miserable but we kept each other strong and manage to lead the group till the last day.Despite all these,I really miss camp a lot!When I came home,I put down all my things and immediately look for the camp booklet and looked at the timetable to see what was next,hahaha...it became a habit the last 5 days and the meal times seems to be disrupted as well.I got used to it not long but it seemed weird not to follow the timetable anymore...But I did come back with wonderful memories and I am looking forward to go to camp agiain next year!

CU Camp rocks!!!!!!!!Miss you already!

Hand In Hand - She Without An Arm,He Without A Leg

This is performed by Ma Li and Zhai Xiao Wei.Xiao Wei was a dancer but she met with an accident and lost her right arm.It seemed that she had lead a hopeless life for a time and nearly committed suicide.She loved dancing above all and with only one arm she felt all hope was gone.Not long someone invited Xiao Wei to teach little children to dance and at that moment she realized how much she had loved to dance and decided she could do it.She picked herself up from rock bottom and retrained herself.Later on she met Ma Li a men who had lost his left leg,she saw hope in the helpless him.She decided to join the dance competition and she asked Ma Li to be her partner.

After much persuasion and hardship Xiao Wei got Ma Li to agree and she had to teach him dancing 101.It took a lot of hard work and effort and when the competition came they won,first place!

This dance is one of the most beautiful and passionate I've ever seen.I nearly cried when I saw it in camp.The music is so sad and it is truely very beautiful and amazing.There was a part in the video where they zoomed in on a woman among the audience and it is believed that she is Xiao Wei's mother.It was very touching to see the mother in tears and joy when she saw the effort her daughter took to show she is fighting hard to live and to dance again.Enjoy the video!

Last Of It...

*sigh* It's over....it's finally over.Yup,no more SPM for me!Well I finally graduated,no more walking into school with Ivan,no more monday blues,no more school.For the past 11 years I was in the same school so now I sort of dread going to the same place again but I'll definietly feel some what uneasy not waking up at 6 everyday or wearing my pinafore or even walking down the same road that leads to school everyday with my blind eyes looking up at the trees.

The BK paper yesterday was okay.It was not very easy but the standard is definietly easier than how Ms Moey would set it.I spent my free days studying BK because my mom expects an A for this subject and Ms Moey will also expect an A2 at least.A bit stressed up by them but it was okay.I sort of giggled when I flipped open the first page of the question paper.I could answer them!I actually could answer them!I finished it at about 4 then checked my paper until about 4:15 like that.The invigilator asked if I wanted to go out early,normally I would but I didn't.Did I forget to mention that I was the only one sitting in the class for the exam...?Eunice,Emerene and Deborah were in the 4th floor and I'm the only sad person taking the paper on the 2nd floor.Our nombor pusat was different so I had to take it on my own.I was watched by two invigilator and they were busy playing with their handphones...hahahaha but I can't copy from anyone so they didn't bother.

After the paper I slowly packed my bag then took out my camera and just went about some places taking pictures.I'm being sentimental again......It's kinda silly to go about taking pictures like that but hey I'm not gonna come into school as a student of SMK SBU anymore,from now on I'll come in as a visitor or at most an ex-student.It was weird to walk about the entire school that was so quiet and peaceful.Every where I go I stopped for a moment and like a movie some memorable scenes played before my eyes.I can't help smiling to myself as I walked down memory lane.



The name is weird but it's a physics term



My class



My table..



For the past month all of us have been busy holding our books and reading before each of paper and sat along this corridor.


This is my secret place...I used to hang out here alot with Jia Rong & Ai Jane when we were in form 3.We talked about alot of things here,dreams,future and any thing at all.


This is the balcony next to my form 3 class.I used to love spending time here looking out and yea with rong and jane too...I love to day dream so hahaha...






haha...this is the balcony outside the girls toilet but it has ne of the best views



This is where the three of us would sit every morning before the assembly.Jia Rong always love to sit as close to the brown chair as possible so she can lean on it and sleep,while me and jane would just talk randomly.


This is the very same path I'll walk through every morning as I entered the school grounds





This is the front view of my school..well I guess this is it then,as I walked out that gate it was closed behind me and a little voice in my mind said "You won't be walking through them anymore.Not in your pinafore as SBU-nian anymore.."


I felt a bit sad for a moment but oh well there's a longer road up ahead of me anyway.When I got up my mom's car she said, "11 years already,so ready to plunge ahead from here...?".I looked at her amazed that she knew what went through my mind as I saw the scenery of the school disappearing from the window's view and just said, "Of course I am!"


Wednesday, November 28, 2007

I realized I was staring blankly at my book and all of a sudden tears just fell like that.I'm not the type that loves to cry but there was just this heavy and sad feeling.Strange yet seemingly fimiliar to me.I just sat there crying for as long as I could remember and I couldn't stop.It just came flowing down like a really long and endless river.I looked out my window and all I could picture were two people before me.

I felt somehow relieved for a moment.But as I stared on,I saw the two figures moving further and further away.I held out my hand to try to reach them but I couldn't even get an inch close to them.Then it dawned on me that they were just a figment of my imagination.The tears kept flowing down,I kept asking myself "what am I crying about?why do feel so sad?"...I couldn't answer myself.I feel as though someone or something just ripped part of my heart out.

I sensed this heaviness since the moment I woke up...did I see some dream?Then in the corner of my mind,I saw the two figures again.I wanted to call out to them but I couldn't speak.As much as want to run forward and hold on tight to them I felt the other part of me frozen to the chair.I wanted to run after them but I couldn't and I can't....I know well enough that I can't hold on to them or even chase after them not now,not anymore.I only could stare as they slowly turned away from me and walked further and further away.

I just kept staring at them as their figure slowly gets smaller and smaller.I wouldn't look away though I know they are never turning back,still I wanted to see them until their figure totally vanishes from my sight.I know there's this path in front of me,it was meant for me and no one else.I wanted to advance ahead into the future...my future but I felt myself heavy and hesistant.I turned and took a very long look at the not too distant past.The tears stopped for a moment as I recall every single detail I could.All of it....every single memory,detail or little pieces of fragment that I could remember,I pondered at them for a very long while.

I found myself smiling as I heard the voices...those happy voices.The very voices I wanted to remember till my last breath on earth.Like an album I kept it all burried in my heart,I had to move on already.I know I need to move forward but I can't help stopping for a moment longer at the place where it all started.The place I found lost treasures and new horizons to persue.I smiled once more at it,then I walked backwards very slowly and turned away.

I stared down the two paths not too far from me,I smiled at it for a moment and slowly headed down mine.I uttered something as I walked slowly down my path,so much to say,yet none could I have the chance to tell them.I walked on and stopped for a moment as I saw before me vast lands and countless paths.Then I noticed the bridges and intersections ahead.It's still far from where I am but I'll reach it.I know that surely they will come around again...I know they will definietly come around again some where in the near future....but for now,I'll just keep walking ahead.

As I kept walking the tears came streaming down again....but this time,it's tears of joy and happiness,anticipation and anything but sadness and heaviness....

The Last Mile...

The last mile...the final chapter of my secondary school life...SPM!!!!!Come to think of it,this still feels surreal.On the first day,well I could say I couldn't feel a thing...yet that is.Walked into to school as usual like it was any other ordinary day,sat at my usual spot every morning before assembly with jia rong and jane and then it hit me as i saw jia rong and jane's faces...."IT'S TODAY!!!!"

Die lar....That's what I thought at first.I'm not the acedemic type so I don't exactly do very well in my exams hahaha~Thank God my mom and dad aren't the type that expects super results from me,they always say they want my best only and I think that made me pull thru' okay.Well,let's see what was on Monday again??Oh,rite..BM and sejarah paper 1.The sejarah paper was suprisingly easier than bm paper 2.Oh well....it's over anyway!Then we had english papers the next day and the most dreaded one for this week.....*drum roll* (TA-DA opening) SEJARAH paper 2!!!

The first and second structure questions were easy but whenI got to the third and fourth question...I was getting worried then when I turned to the essay questions...I wanted to cry so much.It was hard and plus that smart head of mine decided to have a head ache like an hour before the exams started which most probably is because I didn't sleep well and plus I was stuffing every single information from the book into my head during the lunch break.Whee...my paper went down the drain~When I came out from the class,jia rong was passing by.She said hey though at first I ignored her,my head was not very painful it's just that I felt drained and heavy.Sorry rong...She said hers went to the drain too and like what jane said "We're all brain dead at the moment!"

hehe...the sejarah paper really drained everything out of me...and I feel pretty stupid because I wasted the entire night 'eating' up the komanwel n pbb n oic thing...Well...IT'S OVER!!!!no more sejarah for the rest of my life!!!!!But I really wanted to cry a lot,yet I couldn't do it in front of any of my friends.I don't need to break down there,that's something I wouldn't want them to see.Thanks to Jane who cheered me up while we were waiting for our parents to pick us up I held it in..she has her way of making the worst in you feel uplifted.thanks janey!!!

Then day 3,Maths...it was okay though the smart me made some careless mistakes..hahaha...as usual I'm always careless with maths.EST was good today....and well...guess who sat next to me??????Nope!He's soooo not my crush or whatever!NOWAY!!!!him!?but I think most of you know who I meant...yup,all Andy could do was laugh.At first I thought I made a mistake when I saw the number on the table as I saw roselyn sit down,then when I turned to the back to wave at andy for no particular reason and as I turned back to the front,hahaha....he sat down.shesh...anyway,I paid no attention to him what so ever.I ran away asap after we were dismissed for break,the least I need is for him to brag about the paper,pls spare me!!

That concludes the first week of exams,I got about 6 more subjects and 3 more weeks.haizz...I can live with it...though it's add math,physics,chem and moral all right next to each other (O.o)...God please let it pass asap...I need my life back!

Amazing Grace...



I think this is a song that we are all very fimiliar with be it a christian or not. There's actually more to how this song came about. It's written by a slave trader, John Newton. There's a movie called 'Amazing Grace' and it talks about William Wilberforce (Joan Gruffudd) a man who started a campaign for antislave-trading.The movie talks about all the years he battled to free the blacks and he met with so many hardships for the blacks rights.This movie is very good and I think all should watch.It's not so much of Christianity but how this man who went a long journey for freedom today.And...Albert Finny and Micheal Gambon is in it too.... The song in this video is sung by Chris Tomlin but isn't complete, enjoy it anyway.

Amazing Grace by John Newton

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That sav’d a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.


’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears reliev’d;

How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believ’d!


Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.


The Lord has promis’d good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.


Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease;

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.


The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who call’d me here below,

Will be forever mine.


John New­ton, Ol­ney Hymns (Lon­don: W. Ol­i­ver, 1779)

The Gift Of Great Friends

This is something I recieved through an e-mail and I think this story is well simple but touching.Maybe some of us might be a life saver or maybe just unforgettable friends that had made his or her mark in others' lives.Fiction or not, it's a reminder to us that the little actions we do does go a long way :)

One day, when I was a freshman in high school,I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes and my heart went out to him.

So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get a life." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.

We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends and he said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends..

When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak and on graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great.

He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days.I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile."Thankfully, I was saved." My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable" I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." There is no beginning or end..


Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.Today is a gift.

MR PERFECT...

Another Tag.



Rules:
1. Tag victim has to come up with 8 different points about his/her perfect lover.
2. Have to mention the gender of his/her perfect lover.
3. Tag 8 other victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog.

p/s believe what I say below

Points about the special ‘him’:


Since it stated “Special” I shall not mentioned the common ones such as, loyal, caring, honest, loving, gentleman Etc.:

1. Well...definietly a guy.A guy that would be the understanding type.He would be able to understand me even though i don't speak up.He would be someone that can say things that are my force of motivation and can make me feel comfortable to open up to.



2. Someone that treats me tenderly and would also care for others.I hate people without any compassion.He would understand that my world doesn't only revolves around him.I have many other important people in my life and I need someone that wouldn't sulk if I wanted space and time for others in my life.hehe...give me a break la!




3. He has to enjoy food like I do.hehe....I would like someone that would know what kind of food that I would like to eat but I prefer it if he slowly discovers it and allow me to discover his.I'm picky about food,so I hope he isn't,then I can give him all the food I dislike in my own dish!haha...He has to also enjoy Anime!Someone who wouldn't mind watching it with me and of course I don't mind watching something he likes as well.



4. Somebody that is not an introvet.I can't stand people who are too dull and wouldn't be able to have a long conversations or at least a proper conversation.I don't believe in one way relationships,I would talk about my life and I hope he would too.He has to be open minded and don't go jealous easily if he sees me talking to other guys.Grow up!I don't like guys immature and they have to be tolerant.I'm fussy and can be demanding...so he needs to be able to deal with me maturely..hahaha....good luck with it!




5. Someone that is organized like me.I don't want to go into his room to discover how untidy it is...He has to be someone that will be able to carry out his own responsibilities properly and wouldn't procrastinate too much.If he asks me out in date,he souldn't be late for more than 20 minutes.If he is late...then he should call.




6. Someone who wouldn't call me a gazzillion times a day!Dun so phan la!I'm not the type who would ask a full report of what he did exactly everyday,so I hate guys that would call just to tell me what they did the entire day.I don't like hearing it as much as I would hate to have to report to him like that.We can talk about things that happened but don't include all the what time I went to breakfast,when I went for lunch and who I ate with or even how many times I went to the loo....



7. He has to be a thinker like me...he has to be sporting enough when it comes to jokes,teasing and just be open and laugh about it type.He would enjoy spending time with me and my friends and don't isolate himself if we go for gatherings like that.He has to be out-spoken too...and of course be able to joke at times and can just socialize with anyone.


8. And of course what I really want to see in my ideal guy is the real him inside.I don't fall for guys that has the outside but lack the inside.I would love to discover the true beauty within him and of course he mine.He has to love me for the real me and also appreaciates the special bond between us.And also a guy who would wait for me.haha....i'm demanding rite?



I tag who ever that are willing to do it :)

Black Magic

Having holiday now!But still have to study lar....Exams are coming already.Anyway,last Sunday night,my entire family went to eat steamboat at this restaurant called Uncle Duck...(funny name eh?)We had tonnes of fun.My family on my mother's side are usually more talkative and the atmosphere is much more cozier than my father's side.There's too much family politics there,but let's not go there for now.

As I was saying we had a lot of fun and Ivan started asking my cousin brother,Dickson an IQ question.Ivan tortured him since the moment dinner started and he still can't solve it!hahahaha...then I asked them another IQ question...It's called Black Magic.I learnt it in chruch,so Ed also knows.It started with only my three cousins n Ivan guessing but then after a while I noticed everybody turned their attention to me.My aunt Yin Peng also joined then everybody.As we were leaving,we all went to the toilet and when I came out Dickson ran up to me complaining, "Carmen je je!Your mother is making me to tell her the answer!"At that point everybody burst out in laughter,haiyooo I least expect my mom to join in as well.

My Aunt Yin Peng practically held on to me and wouldn't let me leave until she gets it...My family is like that...it might seem lame but I love it!It's just so much fun to be able to joke about like that.n oh yea....they still bug me for the answer till now....haizz...they just can't detect the pattern.hehe...has anyone played it yet?I asked my class mates already and it was fun torturing them!i'm evil eh?it took Sam n Debbie a little bit more time to get it though it only took Andy 10 minuts to get it.As for shivani and jonathan....they still dun get it!Is it that hard????

Saturday, October 6, 2007

Mom talked about it over breakfast and I'm so glad there was only me and Ivan there...I always feel this topic is never really a good topic to discuss with my family....Mom asked me what do I wanna do after SPM,she asked me if I was sure of going into psychology,but I often feel reluctant to answer her.Not that my parents are the type that wants me to go into specific fields or anything,I think I'm one those who are really lucky cause my parents allows me to choose whatever I want to do..."as long as it makes you happy and you would enjoy studying it.."that's what they always tell me and my brothers.



It's not that it's a taboo subject but I always find it very heart aching every time we talk about this and yea....I can't help crying when this topic arouses.Mom told me a lot about Edmund before he decided to go for law,my mom really wanted me to go for form 6 because she strongly believes that form 6 is a period where one would grow to be more mature and by that time one would be ready to chose what to study in uni or college,but the only problem is she knows and I know very well that I won't be able to do form 6 cause I'm weak in science subjects and if I go into arts for form 6 it would be a waste of time cause it's in BM.I know mom is not trying to discourage me or anything but she needs to ask me to make me feel more reassured of my choice.



Going to HELP to study psychology is the best place possible but the money is one problem and the other is my mom is afraid I would get bad influence or socially affected.I can't say it's not true...she's afraid that I'm not ready enough for college life and the next thing is she's worried about me not being able to fully focus.She asked me am I ready for that and the problems that she mentioned....I just answered that I won't be able to promise anything.I was busy tearing up.....but poor Ivan sat there,pulling tissues out from the tissue box one after another for me.My family has this trait where anyone of us cries the other would cry as well....too emotional lar all of us.



I want to go into HELP because they have te best psychology program but most probably with my dad's retirement coming up next year...that doesn't seem like an option anymore.other than HELP...the next one that offers quite a good program is UCSI.Aaarrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so ma fan lar!my head is so confused and now I'm starting to question myself...suddenly I seem so lost and I feel frustrated thinking about what is right or wrong for me. Other than going for psychology I don't know what else I can go for.I suddenly feel like my talent or whatever ability I have is that limited...



Mom knows that I'm aching and feeling very lost so she just told me to focus now and just do my best in SPM first.I know....but there's too much going through my head now and jia rong was just commentting yesterday that I have a lot of white hair because I think to much and I thought it was a random joke...guess not.



God...I'm confused,I'm lost and I'm too tired to keep questioning myself.Save ME!!!!

The wider skies

Ok...in exactly 1 month and 1 day I'll be graduating...and SPM is like 40 days away.....ok let's not freak out,...WAAAH!!!!!!!!!haizz....the stress is rising and the pile of homework is increasing too.I seriously can't wait to graduate and get out of school...no more waking up at 6 am,no more assemblies with the annoying and dreggy speechs,no more discipline teachers,no more boring school events...no more school with uniforms and neat tide hair....!Whee!!!!!!

But something occured to me today....Me and jia rong went to toilet during our Moral gerak gempur (which was haizz...no words to express),she went into the toilet while I wait for her out side the toilet as usual...I have a habit of leaning on the balcony just out side the toilet and everyday I stared at sky from that very same spot,the very same patch of the sky,the same sky scrappers from that balcony and very often the same blue of the sky...Then jia rong and most of the time jane as well would join me leaning on the balcony but today it was only the two of us though.I would always seem so depressed or like I'm in deep thought.

I would always let my mind wonder off as I stood there...I think about alot of things...and today this thought occured to me,I was staring at the sky again and I suddenly thought wow...it's just gonna be next month and that's it,I'm out of here,I'm finally graduating.And...I won't stare at the sky from this balcony anymore...not form this same angle anymore,I won't get to see the same positions of the buildings and trees and everything from this very balcony anymore,I won't be seeing the primary school kids running about the field or our house practices or the juniors running in the field...no more...not anymore.

I'm gonna stare at the sky from a bigger place,I'm gonna be at a place much more than a mere secondary school and this feels so light and happy but there's a sense of heaviness too,as much as I complain about school and everything I can't admit that I wouldn't wake up one day at 6 in the morning trying to get ready for school or packing my school bag for school the next day or even getting into my school uniform and getting into my school shoes to wear when I leave the house...It's been 11 years after all.Long and hard years in school....but I'm ready to break away from all that!

A random quote again~
The sky will always be the same sky but the place I stare the sky from will never be the same again...time to move on,time to grow up...time to say goodbye.

Move It!

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes, how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee…?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife…?
In 525,600 minutes, how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.Seasons of love……

That was a verse from the song Seasons of Love from the musical RENT.Yesterday my family went to watch Edmund perform.He joined this choir called The Young KL Singers and they came up with a production called Move It! in conjunction with their 5th anniversary.They sang a lot songs from musicals, folk songs from different countries and many more.This choir is not your average stand still choir,they dance and move about the stage.It was a very stunning performance!

They sang songs like Seasons of Love, Pie Jesu, Bui Doi from Miss Saigon, One Day More from Les Miserables, Magnificant Horses a mongolian folk song, Oklahoma, Autumn Leaves and a number of other songs.It was at the bangsar shopping center and Andrea(Andy) came along as well.Ed got the tickets late for us,so we were sitting on the first row and in the middle section some more...so the singers were like popping out in our faces.Some dance moves are very uncalled for and it almost scared me and Andy,it's like as if they are about pounce on us.Ed's expressions are priceless as Andy said and because of that my mom said he stands out a lot....We kept giggling when he came very close to us and most of the time he stand directly in front of me,so I can't help laughing.

The other singer I know is Angel out of the 50 there.Angel also happened to keep standing in front of me,and every time she looked at me I would smile and I think that made her giggle...hahahaha...I distracted her like 5 times di.There were alot of solo parts too and all the singers who did the solo parts have outstanding voices and they are loud too.They don't have cordless mics on only stationary mics hanging from the ceiling.Most of them are working adults and yet they are so talented.Me and Andrea are gonna join next year that's if we're still around and free.

It was very good!!When they bowed and was walking away from the stage,a lot of people were actually shouting encore...so were we...but they didn't come out again lar....The choir actually sang and danced with such enthusiasm and we can clearly see that they enjoy doing it not for money but out of their love for singing.There were a few guys in the choir actually had such good voices and quite leng chai...ehm ehm..they would flattened 'that Daniel" in Malaysian Idol as Andy said.All in all it was a very good performance......they are singing again at Pavillion.They are invited to do caroling and seems that my brother told me the pay is good...I wanna join too!!!

Keep Breathing - A special dedication to everyone~




I found this song through Grey’s Anatomy. It’s sung by Ingrid Michealson for the finale of season 3 on Grey’s Anatomy. This video is very special and it talks about the pain that a lot of people are carrying….life really is not so easy,when I saw this video I almost cried.

I dedicate this video to all my family, my two dearest friends, Jia Rong and Jane, my friends in school, church, tuition and every else in the world.Keep breathing people!

KEEP BREATHING by Ingrid Michealson

The storm is coming but I don’t mind,
People are dying, I close my blinds.
All that I know is I’m breathing now.

I want to change the world,
Instead I sleep,
I want to believe in more than you and me,

But all that I know is I’m breathing,
All I can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing now...

All that I know is I’m breathing,
All I can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing,

All we can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing,
All we can do is keep breathing now...

Listen

LISTEN by Beyonce



Listen to the song here in my heart a melody I start but can't complete,
Listen to the sound from deep within,
Its only beginning to find release,
Ohh...the time has come for my dreams to be heard,
They will not be pushed aside and turned,
Into your own, all' cause you won't listen

[chorus]
Listen I am alone at a crossroads,
I'm not at home in my own home,
And I've tried and tried to say whats on my mind,
You should have known,
Now I'm done believing you,
You don't know what I'm feeling,
I'm more than what you've made of me,
I followed the voice, you gave to me,
But now I've gotta find my own...

You should have listened,
There was someone here inside,
Someone I thought had died so long ago,
Oh I'm screaming out and my dreams will be heard,
They will not be pushed aside or turned,
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen...

[chorus]
Listen I am alone at a crossroads,
I'm not at home in my own home,
And I've tried and tried to say whats on my mind,
You should have known,
Now I'm done believing you,
You don't know what I'm feeling,
I'm more than what you've made of me,
I followed the voice, you gave to me,
But now I've gotta find my own...

[Bridge]
I don't know where I belong,
But I'll be moving on,
If you don't, if you won't....

[Chorus]
Listen to the song here in my heart,
A melody I start, but I will complete,
Now I am done believing you,
You don't know not what I am feeling,
I'm more than what you've made of me,
I followed the voice you think you gave to me,
But now I got to find my own - my own....


This song is from the movie Dream girls.This song is sung by Deena Jones(Beyonce Knowles) in the movie,it was pivotal moment when Deena finally relizes that she does hav the strength to move on and to break free form every bondage that was holding her to be true to what she is.I love this song a lot cause I find that a lot of us are not only motivated by things, goals, sucess, failures, friends, family and even ourselves but sometimes even songs and music can motivate us too.

This song came to my mind cause I thought of my dad...every Friday after BK classes,he would be the one that would come and fetch me.Every morning he would wake us for school and send us to school.He would be the one that would fix all the broken things at home.He would be the one that would help us with our projects when we were younger.He would be the one that would go all the way to Kesas Highway just to get the snoopy toy we were collecting from Mc Donalds.He would be the good citizen who will repair the roads for everyone not only our family.He would be the one that would always write to MPAJ to fix lamp posts,mend roads, and to put up road signs.

He would be the one that would rush home as soon as he could when we called him about a snake entering the house.He would be the one that would send us to the clinic dispite the time like 4 in the morning.He would be the one that would carry our heavy bags when we played in theme parks.He would be the one that will drive us around whenever we need.He would be the one that would drive for 8 hours long without anyone else taking over for him while we sleep and eat behind....He would be the one that will worry about us when we went for camps...and he was and still is the one that taught me to be who I am till this very day.He's my dad!

Every Friday when dad comes to pick me,we would have this routine of talking in the car...just the two of us...He would tell me about work,when he was younger and the way he dealt with all his problems.My mom always said I'm my dad's best listener and audience when he would talk.Actually I didn't like my parents nagging...I mean who likes it,but whenever my dad talks to me like that...I really enjoy it.He would tell me jokes that would make me burst out in laughter and I'll tell him what happen in school and so on.

Maybe I'm much older now and my dad talks to me more.Sometimes Ivan is hard to talk to for my dad cause he's still young and Edmund is impatient when it comes to this and besides he's very busy and nowadays hardly around.So I'm the one left....I don't mind it of course.Sometimes my dad can be over the top and be unreasonable but he's growing old...an he's got a lot to deal with...sometimes all he asks is that someone who would listen to him talk.

The hardest part about love is not sacrificing,giving or anything else...Listening is actually the hardest part of love.Most of the modern us have tight schedules ad we would have no time to spare to listen to someone talk and complain....It takes a lot of effort to listen and I'm trying to give Ivan the chance to talk and listen to him but sometimes I find it hard to concentrate and I would tune him off...I'm horrible rite?yea....shesh...I'm learning....I'm still trying to make an effort....Sometimes when we fail to listen to our loved ones...we would miss out a lot in their lives...so I'm gonna stop missing out in my family's lives...I pray you would too.

Well it's Friday and I didn't go to school,sorta wished I had then I won't be so bored...Mom, dad, ed n grandma are in HK now enjoying themselves while me....well in KL in front of the PC...Ivan had fever yesterday and aunt yin peng brought him to the doctor n the doctor says he's having a slight fever but still in travelling condition...yes, I did say travelling condition cause he's joining my family in HK today...So i didn't go to school today because I'm sending him off and also because I was checking all his homework until quite late at night....I think the thrill of going to HK today must have got to him and he simply did his work...he thinks the sun rises from the west to the east...remind me again how did he get an A in Science?


Well so I'm left alone with aunt yin peng n uncle alex...I'm not sad that I couldn't go to HK cause I was just there last month with aunt yin peng n Ivan,oh yes n he is going again today...It's kind of cool to be alone without my family around,I kind of enjoy the silence and also the immense freedom...hahaha!Aunt yin peng feels bad that I'm left alone here so she promised to bring me to eat 'nice' food during the weekend so YEAY!I've to bear with crappy lunch this few days because my grandma's not around to cook so I gotta find food....but actually I just discovered that the men in this house can cook....every men except for my dad,my brothers n Uncle Weng n Uncle Danny that is.,....My uncle Alex made the best dinner on Wednesday!He's fried egg in tomato sauce rocks!It was so delicious that the plate was empty even before my grandpa n uncle weng could taste it!N my grandpa made the best dishes too....since young till now seriously I've never tasted their dishes before other than maggie mee or fried rice if that counts as a chinese family meal...but it was good lar.......

Well,I'm home alone again and yea it's super boring.So I went to entertain myself by watching the last few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Grey's Anatomy is actually one American series which I really enjoy watching other than CSI and CSI:NY.I like the parts where Dr.Grey or you can call her Meredith narates every episode,the things that this series touches about are very personal for many in life and the way they laid out the story is something different for me.The next thing about this series is the songs they put in as background music.Mostly the songs are sung by underground singers which actually has more meaning and they sound good too!So I watched till 3 something and went to do my work...yes I have a lot of tuition work form my teacher but still I watched TV....freedom mar.


Then at night Aunt Yin Peng and Uncle Alex brought me for dinner at this new restaurant at the Great Eastern Mall.It's called Daidomon I think....It serves japanese barbeque and it was really good!but since the price is so "cheap"...we didn't order much,then we went to Alexis,the bistro on the first floor to fill up the empty spaces in our growling stomaches....It was Saturday night so they had this perfromance by this person called Janice Yap.She won a few awards before in some competition and also one or two in the music fest.She's quite a good singer and very soulful like what my aunt said. We ordered a sefood pizza and IT WAS GOOD!It so delicious.....I'm getting hungry just thinking about it now...Yes,i enjoyed myself very much and seriously Alexis serves good food...so go check it out people!


23/09/07, Sunday
It's 8.15 in the morning...I woke up and went to get ready to go out.Today I'm going to a seminar with Debbie and Haseena.The seminar is at the universal tuition center somewhere in Taman Midah.Uncle weng was suppose to send me to Debbie's house but he woke up late because he spent almost the entire night watching 24...haizzz...and so I had to call Debbie who was going to send me there from her house..."Hello?Debbie...I'm gonna be a bit late cause the person who was suppose to send me decided to wake up late..." "Okay...." "Sorry yea,and you sound like you just woke up too..." "haha...It's okay I already bathed."

At first I didn't understand what she meant by that but anyway I reached Debbie's house at 10 something and when i walked in to the porch where her mother's car was,her two boxers came and stood next to me.They started sniffing my leg...and well they were pretty big in size so I was a bit freaked.Debbie opened the car door and told me to jump in before they follow me up as well,Deb's mom said the dog were checking me out...ahahahaha...but seriously too close for comfort.I love dogs but boxers, rottweilers and doberman always made me feel super scared and they looked fierce...really fierce.


Well we started with BM seminar which was pretty good and the lecturer was very funny too but Chemistry seminar was ok lar...The lecturer's English was ok but her pronounciation was abit funny and plus the room was a complete freezer.Me and Debbie didn't bring any jackets but Haseena did,she brought our class jacket there and was wearing it proudly...so me and debbie shivered and stuck close to each other for warmth, then after the seminar Deb drop me back home.Dinner was at the Purple Cane restaurant..a new place,and their dishes are all cooked with tea leaves...it was ok but everything we ate there had alot of tea leaves in it...even the desserts.Well my parents are coming home tomorrow...sob sob....no more freedom di...hmm,I better go,got school tomorrow.
Nite!

Little Madeleine McCann....

Madeleine McCann disappeared on the evening of Thursday, 3 May 2007 in the resort of Praia da Luz in the Algarve, Portugal. The event has since generated international media attention with controversy surrounding the Portuguese-led police investigation and the actions of Madeleine's parents.
The British girl was on holiday with her parents and siblings when she disappeared from an apartment in the central area of the resort, just days short of her fourth birthday. Madeleine's parents have said that they left her unsupervised in a ground floor bedroom with her two-year-old twin siblings while they ate at a restaurant about 120 metres away.[1]
The initial investigation by the Guarda Nacional Republicana, the first police to be called to the crime scene, concluded that she had been abducted.[2] After further investigation, the Polícia Judiciária (Portuguese criminal investigation police) subsequently stated that there was a strong hypothesis that she might have died in her room.[3][4] During the investigation there were a number of unconfirmed claimed sightings of Madeleine in Portugal and elsewhere and additional scientific evidence was obtained.
Police investigating her disappearance admitted on 17 August that the investigation was nowhere near a breakthrough.[3] However, on 7 September, Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine's parents, were named as formal suspects (arguidos) in the investigation.[5][6] Despite this, the McCanns flew back to the UK on 9 September.[7]
The investigation involved the cooperation of the British and Portuguese police and demonstrated the differing methodologies employed by each, with regard to such aspects as the amount of information released to the public and the legal status of those involved in the case. The disappearance and its aftermath are notable for the breadth and longevity of the media coverage. This was initially due to the active involvement of the parents in publicising the case and to several awareness-raising campaigns by international celebrities and, latterly, to the interest that arose from the parents being named as suspects.

Madeleine disappeared from a ground floor apartment where the family was staying on the evening of 3 May 2007. The apartment had been rented by Mark Warner for the summer season as part of its Ocean Club. The nature of the Ocean Club may have contributed to the disappearance of Madeleine since, because its buildings are spread out across the village, anyone can wander in and out of the holiday areas.[8]
Her parents' account was that they had put Madeleine and her two-year-old twin siblings to bed and, leaving the apartment unlocked, had dined with friends approximately 120 metres away at a tapas bar within the Mark Warner Ocean Summer Club.[1] The McCanns later reported to the police that they were taking turns checking on their children and that at approximately 21:05 Western European Summer Time Gerry checked on the children followed by Dr Matthew Oldfield at 21:30.[9] At around 22:00, Kate returned to check on the children and found Madeleine's bed empty and the bedroom window open.[10] Kate said that the police were called within 10 minutes of finding her daughter gone. The police stated that officers arrived within 10 minutes of being alerted, and an investigation unit began work within 30 minutes.[9] According to the Portuguese police's missing person notice, the disappearance had occurred "by 22:40".[11] Staff and guests at the complex searched until 04:30 whilst police on the Spanish border and all airports in Portugal and Spain were notified.[10] The Portuguese police have yet to supply a definitive timeline for the evening of Madeleine's disappearance.[12]
