Dear Life
Tuesday, March 13, 2012 @ 9:21 AM
Things have been s0-s0 lately. Back to Uni! Second sem already.
How time runs! (modified from flies) :)
I've been coping alright. Had the time of my life during my previous sem break.
Even though one person was missing from my life [JR], I still managed to enjoy my holidays.
That's because I have friends and family like no other.
Class starts in half an hour's time, and I've decided to blog now. Crazy.
It's a mad, mad world out there.
Life is so unpredictable and it has crazy ups and downs and turns 360 degrees like a roller coaster.
I miss home, friends, family.
Yes, I do have friends in Uni but they're not the same.
Nothing beats friends that I have in PENANG.
I have to go now. But I'll be back soon, I PROMISE.
Hostel's wifi connection sucks so don't blame me if I don't get to update my blog often.
Big Thanks to the unknown people who have been reading my blog and dropping lovely messages of support in the chatbox. Thanks guys. Much love to you all as well. :)
Gtg now. Will write soon. Hope I didn't bore you with this post. Wait, cut the crap. I know I did. D:
Signing off,
Charis. X

Joshua Ryan

In Loving Memory of Joshua Ryan ( 24th August 1990 - 4th December 2011)
Joshua was called home to be with the Lord way too soon and unexpected.
Although, I only knew you (Josh) since June, but you have certainly changed my life and your death has affected me so much. I'm sorry things did not end well before you died. I hung up when you were talking to me because you pissed me off, and then two days later I get a call from so many people saying that you've passed away.
Now, I would do anything just to hear your voice one last time.
You meant alot to me, Joje.I love you and you know I'll never ever forget you, so don't get paranoid okay?The first three days after you died, were the worst days I've ever been through, but I'm okay now. I'm getting stronger each day and slowly coming to accept the fact that you're gone. Sometimes, I wonder (no..wait...all the time actually) why did you have to go in a way you were not supposed to go? Was there something I could do, that could prevent your accident? I don't know.
You were so close to me. We made plans to go out next year during our sem break. I could not wait to go out with you and spend time with you. But, you could not wait. God loves you too much and he decided to take you up sooner. I have faith that we'll see each other again.
You used to tell me that you're Mr. Worldwide. Indeed, that's true. You've touched so many people's lives just by your presence. Everyone is affected by your death. Even people who don't know you.
All I can say is, I just thank God that you got to be in my life and I got the chance to be in your life and we had so many memories together especially in Fridays. Now, that you're gone, I know you're not gone entirely. You're still here somehow because my heart can't let you go.
You keep watching over us and have fun with Jesus up in Heaven okay. I'll see you once I'm done with my tasks in this Earth and when God decides to take me HOME. Till then, I'll miss you and I'll never ever forget you.
I'm gonna miss teasing you, playing with ur hair, fighting with you, sitting in ur Red Horse (your car)with you, listening to Give Me Everything Tonight with you, miss hearing your voice, getting incoming calls from you, miss seeing your name appearing on my phone, and many more.
I miss everything.
Two weeks have passed since your death. How time flies.
I miss you. I care for you. I will never forget you. I love you.
The one & only Joshua Ryan. <3

This is it.

I'm leaving this beautiful island, to further my studies elsewhere.
All I can say is, a part of me feels so excited to go, it's like I totally cannot wait to start Uni life :)
But another part of me feels sad about leaving family, friends, my bed etc. all behind
omg I sound like I'm dying.
Anyways, this is the thing about life. Nothing stays permanently.
That's why we are mortal beings in the first place.
Too many things have happened recently. Some even too much for me to handle.
But I managed to pull it through.
I thank God for that and also certain amazing people in my life for always being there for me during my downs. you know who you are.
I'm gonna start living an independent life, finally.
And to all my other friends, who will be starting Uni life about the same time as me, CHEERS!
Cheers to a life without parents!
Let's see how this one turns out to be. :)
Will be back soon. Loads to update, as usual, but so little...SPACE. :P
Lots to buy. Lots to do. Am as happy as ever and also feeling blue.

Happy Mother's Day

Momma & Me
She is the most amazing woman in my life. Though, there have been times where we fought like cats and dogs, but still, we both knew how much we love each other, right mummy? :)
Thank you so much, mum, for always being there for me and for everything!
I'm so lucky to have a mother and even luck-ier to have a mother like YOU, Ruby Mangalam Janet.
I want to wish all you mothers, a very Happy Mother's Day!
Hope you had a great time with your loved ones.
I believe in love at first sight, because I've been loving my mother ever since the day I first opened my eyes. <3

Work, work, work!
Thursday, April 28, 2011 @ 2:47 PM
That's all I've been doing ever since I started WORK. where's MY life at?Here's the thing. We miss having too much of leisure time when we're at work, and we miss having work when we're too free. How ironic can this getWorking at TGIF btw. Fun and crazy colleagues, I have.But as the days pass, work's actually getting kinda boring. More like a boring routine.Well, on the bright side, this is a great way to kill time, meet new people, and to get my ass out there and socialize, instead of just staying at home.
Yes. Guests.
I see various guests at work. Angry. Rude. Friendly. Super-friendly ( and i mean super!). Weird. Fussy. Stupid. There are some which can be pretty ludicrous as well.However, some of them can be really entertaining though :)That's the thing about being a waitress. It builds me up emotionally and teaches me alot about patience which is a quality that I had a lack of last time.Now, when I dine in at restaurants, I tend to be extra courteous and polite with the waitresses/waiters working there, that's because I know what it feels like to be in that position.Overall, my job is fun but very tiring at the same time. Of course. Which job isn't tiring, right?Fatigue caused by being on my feet for at least 8 hrs.
TGIF-Queens is a great restaurant and the food, no doubt is as great as well.
Speaking of that, Mother's day is coming up! There's a promotion at Friday's.
BRING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE( your mum NOT you) to Friday's on Mother's day, and your mum will receive a special discount on her main course based on her age.
eg: Your mum's 40 years old, she gets 40% discount on her main course.
I suppose now you get the picture eh?The day will be next Sunday, 8TH OF MAY.So, come along!
I've got lots more to say and rant about but then I realize my blog's opened to the public. Can't say much now, can I? ;)
Toodles, my loves. Great to know I have readers from overseas as well. X.

Trying to get a job is not easy. In my case, going out to look for a job is even harder, trust me.
Mum and Dad, YOU KNOW I can drive. Why not let me drive on my own?
There's one car sitting at home and collecting dust, well not exactly that,
but...you get the picture.
Anyway, I managed to convince dad to take me out for job hunting tomorrow :D
Wish me luck.

So, I went to see the doc. I've been suffering from pain after jogging recently.
Pain from the left hip bone and downwards.
Turns out, I strained some of my ligaments and some could have torn. like wth right?
(lol) I know. Sounds so serious. I'm on medication too.
So, no jogging and other activities that requires alot of leggy movements FOR A MONTH!
Am certainly hoping desperately for a month to pass fast now.
Totally feeling like a bedridden person. :(
Ciao.
April Fools
Thursday, March 31, 2011 @ 11:56 PM
Those were the 'April Fools' days where me and my peeps used to say to each other in elementary school, "look! snake behind you!" or "look! cockroach!" and then we go "April Fools!"-pretty lame huh?
And then, when we entered middle school, we say stuff like "hey, there's a period stain on your uniform!" or "hey babe, I actually have a boyfriend" and we all go WHAT?! OMG?! u serious?!
And the next thing you hear is "April Fools!" -see how creative we got as we grew older? -smirks-
Last two years, when I was in High school, there were jokes, but sadly, I cant remember them :(
As I'm writing this post about April Fools, guess what? I got fooled at the same time. :( -grrr at Shalini.
But of course, I fooled someone as well. It was so easy to fool her though. -Koay Yi Lin! You're such an easy prey :P
Just wanted to say, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
Have a blast fooling people and getting fooled aite?
Signing off now...here's a free kiss for every single person that reads this! :D -UMM, APRIL FOOL! haha
