MISSING cousin

Unfortunately, the word missing above is NOT to show an emotional state of mind. My far-related cousin, Yi Jien has been missing for a total of 28 days now. I've not seen him before in person because he's been in the States almost all his life, but I'm worried. I'm concerned about his mother, his wife and his sisters; I know I've mentioned that I'm gonna stop blogging for a month, but this is important. I hope all of you would spend just a little bit of your time praying for his safety. I still remember when my other cousins, my aunts and uncles, together with Yi Jien's mother would talk about having a huge get together with ALL the relatives over dinner. It's such a shame that I've only got to know about this news on the 28th day.

"Yi-Jien Hwa, the 27 year old hiker from Kentucky is still missing after not returning as anticipated from an ambitious hike in Glacier National Park. Hwa, a married seminary student, embarked on a challenging 7 day hike alone, August 11, 2008, into the backcountry of Glacier with the intention of covering approximately 90 miles with an elevation gain of 15,000 feet and downhill more than 14,00 feet. Family reported him missing on August 19, 2008 when he didn't return as expected.

According to biographical information on a backpacking gear site blog, Hwa is an experienced hiker who has hiked in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, Isle Royale, Hawaii’s Big Island, and the Smokey Mountains. This summer he and his wife would experience the west in such places as The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Zion, Grand Canyon, and Glacier.

Apparently he is prepared with gear and supplies for his arduous trip. He applied for his backcountry permit, left a complete itinerary, and an anticipated return date.

My mind wonders, “Where is he and what happened?” He’s been gone so long now."
Honestly, there's nothing we can do, and we're wasting time by just wondering what happened to him or where is he at this very moment. all we can do is just to uphold him and all his family in prayers.

a promise is a promise.

life has never been busier!
assignments are pouring in like rain,
and i'm moving into a new place.
at the moment,i can't even count the number of responsibilities/
commitment that i'm bearing with my two hands!

i've not enough time for myself, even.

[l-r : jasmine, me, joann]
a sneak peek of something that i have done lately

i am AMAZINGLY blabbing.

this is a story of a girl,
who cried a river and drowned the whole world

time flies by like flickers of light today
i've been out the whole day since 9 in the morning
been running errands with mummy the whole day!;
paying bills, picking the suitable tiles for our new home
(I contributed the most at this one!),
choosing between curtains or blinds,
surveying through various furniture shops,
cruising through dato keramat road lookin for ACER's service center,
blablablablabla and bla.


we did manage to get some pinned down
after long hours of furniture hunting, we finally bought a beautiful dining set
YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE LORENZO i tell you
i was so close to set up a tent there; i fell in love with the furnitures instantly!

me during Bachelor of Arts Translation & Interpretation interaction night.
yada yada.

well it's been a while since an ominously huge photo of me being posted up here;
so don't complain la! :D

i guess blogging is one of the ways for me to chill from all this hustle bustle of life
i've been sitting infront of the computer for hours, typing away my assignment;
i even signed off msn, resisting the temptation of facebooking and all. sigh.
and i'm only like 20% through with my first one.
WORSE, i have 4 other assignments and 2 major USM projects coming up.
e-oh-e-oh-e-oh!! LALALALALALA! TELETUBBIES!
wtfbbqchicken.really.

"hello. im chan min min. *cough* uh." *pulls pants high up*

but i know i can handle this,
and it's for my own good anyway!

regarding our photography project in USM tmr.
and then off to the library
"uh. told-ya-i'm-a-uh-nerd."*fixes reading glasses*

sipeh random punya night -.-

Que Tal, Minny?

yo soy ella!

I know I've been away from all these in a while
so much so that i've lost touch of the vibe of blogging
but it has never left me!
i'm planning to revamp and to revive minnylicious.blogspot.com

nevertheless, it's gonna be a rough time for me;
so many things to be done in so little time..
my laptop's down; can't even get it turned on!
course works are pilling up like nobody's business
and i'm busy preparing for so many events up in USM
tests are coming up soon.
one after another. it seems like there's no end to it.

my life has come to a point where, i HAVE to prioritize. literally.
so much responsibilities and commitment to bear.
i'm not complaining; i'm just learning how to take it in.
just give me some time.

how on earth have i gotten myself into this mess?

i need a new laptop :(
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

soy muy tensión a veces.
yo no cómo explicar; no quiero
¿cómo eres tu entender?

shut up and drive

what have i been up to these days?

oh well. life has been hectic like it has always been when i started University.
course works are pouring in..
tutorial homeworks are stacking up like Big Mac.

going back home to Kedah by/during dinner time
i miss home. seriously :)

L

LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST.
this song resembles part and parcel of my life at the moment.
let it be friends, family and even for the things that i believe in.
despite the song being relevant and carrying some sort of meaning that
only myself know about;
enjoy the song while u read on my rants (if you want to)



"After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here"

~

sometimes when you grasp upon something too tightly, you'll end up losing it.
the more you wanna keep and maintain the things in life, the more it sways.
i once heard that life is how you make it and i have to agree.
how you view life can change the way you live.
your perspective molds the way you carry yourself.
i dont know about you, but this is what i basically think about life now.


rejection. hurt. anger. unforgiveness. disappointment. resentment.
dissatisfaction. jealousy. loneliness.
the things that we have to deal with almost everyday of our lives.


anyway! enough ranting.
gotta go get ready to meet up with daddy and mommy
then off to church tonight :)

do not trouble anyone else with the hurtful words you utter, boy.
there's no reason to be plain brutal with them; nobody is perfect neither are you
so stop proclaiming and acting that you're the best when you're not even close.

day1 070708

well, well, well.
THAT day has finally arrived!
no, not my wedding day of course
it's the day where I stepped foot into USM once again after so long;
and this time as a 2nd year student of B.A Translation and Interpretation (BATI).
i can finally say; I'M A SENIOR.

nicked this off Zhe Rong's blog [lizardboi88.blogspot.com]
clickety click!
DK(dewan kuliah)foyer
the foyer with halls where we often have our classes and tutorials :)

FINALLY.
let's meet the other side of Minny.
yups. the nerdy one.
the book-face one 8-)

goodness gracious me!
it's a little too much of airbrushing/photoshop done on my forehead!!
i know, definitely not the best picture ever but
this is how i look like for my first day back in Uni.
people were asking about my 'amy winehouse' inspired eyeliner LOL

cars parked along the road
it's REGISTRATION DAY for the seniors!

the view from Pusat Bahasa & Penterjemahan.
took me quite some time to register for the courses i opt for;
i hate it to the max seriously
SO much CONFUSION and TROUBLE!
subjects clashing.
back to back classes.
darnit.

for lunch, i took my coursemates to a coffee shop near Bukit Jambul
sells really good "Pan Mee" and "Dim Sum"
what more, the food is CHEAP!

i seriously like it there,
we ate under the tree ; with greens surrounding us and birds chirping away

i have a confession to make
i haven't had dim sum ever since my holidays started (3 months ago)
UNTIL today!
reason : cannot wake up for it. too early -.-

my tummy hurts real bad.
feels like someone is twisting it.
man.
