1st Dec 2010
Submitted my study plan for my exchange programme yesterday and finally decided to start packing for my UK holiday trip. Nah, I'm not going like tomorrow or next week. Will be leaving on the 17th Dec. Why on earth start packing so early then right?
My mum insisted on it. Coz I will be going over to UK and Europe that side for about almost 3 weeks till next year so she said we would require a thorough packing (which means I won't be able to celebrate Christmas and New Year in Malaysia =( and Jia, I won't be around for your birthday too. ='( I wish you happy early birthday first k? =D Let's celebrate it early before I leave k?). Anyway, back to topic, me and my family will be doing a lil tour during our this holiday trip. My sis can be our tour guide since she studies there. Lolx. Yeap, not on tour this round. Free and easy. =)
My mum's being all paranoid with me. Coz it will be winter at UK during our trip. I'm prone to getting ill especially with my bad sinus. So mum's been like... bring more sweater dear. You will need to wear like 5 layers minimal. It's very cold there. Remember to bring your medication. Pack all your winter clothing first. Normal clothes can borrow from Meghan. Can use some of your jie jie's thick jacket also etc etc.
I had this kind of berat hati feeling when I was packing my winter clothing yesterday. No doubt I'm really all up and excited for the trip. But one thing for sure, I'll definitely miss home. =) Talking about this, 3 weeks of holidays away from home and I'm already feeling so heavy hearted to leave home. What about 3 months of exchanging abroad to study? What about furthering my studies in higher level later on? Should I be glad that I rejected my offer to do my degree 3 years overseas?
Ps, this update was supposed to be posted 2 days ago. I forgot to publish it. My bad. Till then.

26th November 2010
Its 2.30am now. I should be asleep by now but my mind is still actively functioning. =.=' So yea, Sueyen's been complaining that I should update my blog so... Ta Da! Updates! Lolx.
Today's topic is regarding Appreciation. Let's begin with a story.
One day, one young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a multinational company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview and would make the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic result was excellent all the way from secondary school until the postgraduate research, never has a year which he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered "none".
The director then asked, "Is it your father who pay for your school fees?" the youth answered, my father passed away when I was one year old, it is my mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked, "Where did your mother worked?" the youth answered honestly, my mother worked as a cloth cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hand, the youth showed him a pair of hand that is smooth and perfect to the director.
The director asked, "Did you ever help your mother washed the cloth before?" The youth answered, never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can was cloths faster than me.
The director said, I have a request, when you go back today, go and help to clean your mother's hand, and then come see me tomorrow morning.
The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is high, when he went back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand, his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did that. It is the first time he found his mother's hand so wrinkled, and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong that shiver his mother's body when cleaned with water.
This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The director noticed the tear in the youth's eye, asked: "Can you tell me what you have done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, "I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes".
The director asked, "Please tell me your feeling".
The youth said,
Number 1: I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there would not be the successful me today.
Number 2: I knew how to work together with my mother, the only I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done.
Number 3: I knew the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, "This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of other, a person that knew the suffering of others to get things done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be my manager. YOU ARE HIRED.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the company's result improved tremendously.
Hence, moral of the story:
A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he develop "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is ignorance of his parent's effort. When he starts working, he would assumed everyone must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know how suffering his employees are and would always blame others. For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel the sense of achievement, he will grumble and be filled of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parent, what are we actually doing??
Are we loving the kid??
or
Are we actually destroying the kid??
Therefore, you can let your kid lived in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV etc. But when you are cutting grass outside under the hot sun, please let them experienced it. After a meal, let them washed their plate and bowl together with their brothers or sisters (if any). It is not because you do not have the money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will eventually grow grey, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is to let your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get things done.
Which parents on earth would not want the best for their own child? Different parents show their love differently. Lecturing you 24/7 and allowing you to feel their hardship could be their very own way in bringing up the best of you. Love your parents as much as they love you. Others might back fired upon you but family, parents in particularly, will never backed away from you. They will be more than willing to be the first to lend a helping hand. I love you ma, pa.
Till then, its late, I should go get some sleep.

15th November 2010
Just got back from ou with my mum and guess what??? GREAT DISCOVERY!!! I just found out that there's 3 McDonald outlets and 2 KFC outlets in One Utama! Wow, is ou really that strategic for fast food outlets? Surprisingly, all the outlets have tonnes of customers. Hmm, they must be really been earning big bucks to set up so many outlets in one place.
Another moral story that I would like to share today. =)
Always be glad and grateful of who you are and what you have. Appreciate the very lil bit of all those that you have cause you might not know when you might ever lose them. Like what Brandon and Uv always say, its the very little minor things that you do that can make a difference. Well, I totally agree on this. =)
And another thing that Ms Karamjit once told us before, be fortunate with what you have as there are many others who long for it but can never have it.
Case no. 1:
A: Why am I so petite? Why are my feet so small? Why can't I grow taller?
Complaining so much about that, what about those kids without legs? They're not complaining being legless and here you are complaining about all those nonsense? Be glad to even have legs as some people don't even have them! Moral of the story: be glad with what you have. Feeling that you're too petite? what about those who doesn't even have shoes to wear. what about those who doesn't even have feet or legs? What about them??
Case no. 2:
B: Mum, I want a Gucci handbag too! and a Coach wallet. Not only that, I want a BMW for my birthday present next year. All my friends have expensive stuffs to use. I want too! I want too!!!
What a spoilt brat case huh? But this case does happen. Some children nowadays are just so aren't grateful. Your parents raised you up with all they can. You think they wish to not be able to give you everything you want as well?? You freaking spoilt brat kid! Which parents in the world wouldn't want to give the best to their kids? You tell me. Parents work their butts off to offer the best for their kids. What are you still complaining? Wanting all those luxurious items. What about those kids who can't even go to school? What about those poor family who can't afford to put a decent meal on the table? So yes, once again. BE GLAD WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!
Ma, pa, thank you for raising me up with all your heart. I'm grateful with my up bringing and I'm proud to be Fion Lim. Sorry for being such a pain in the ass at times.
Those of you who have not watch Moonlight Reasonance, should really go and watch it. There's a lot of moral stories from that drama, especially regarding family bonding. =) One of the best drama ever.
Till then.

I actually don't feel too well today. Was supposed to go out for dinner with my family but due to the rain and me not feeling well, so its healthy dinner at home.
Steamed prawns. Steam sausages. Steam veg. Steam eggs, Soup etc etc. How healthy could that be huh? I was down with a sore throat since yesterday. Then came the flu. Then the fever is slowly developing as well. I think out of 24 hours, I've been sleeping for like more than 15 hours today. How fruitful can my day be right?
In my opinion, there's ought to be a limit to everything you do in life. Agree? Maybe its just me but I don't get it, why do some people can be so kor fan sometimes? I mean, if its not your business, why do you have to be so 8 and bother and make things more complicated? People always said that if you don't have anything good to say, then might as well just shut up. Agree? Sometimes, you might not be doing it intentionally, but it sorts of offend others without you knowing. Sometimes, you might be doing it intentionally. What's your real intention? No want knows except god and yourself. Sid koe lei ke cham tao lam ba.
Till then.

As promised,
Before Hair Do Over,
This is the Fion with her simple hairstyle that she likes. =)
She likes long hair and
never had the guts to do major changes to her hair such as bangs or curls etc...
After Hair Do Over,
What about this? Not clear enough? Can't really see the hairstyle??
What about this now? Better?? Notice the
obvious curls?
How about this then? From a
different angle. Nice?
She cut
fringe too... Ever notice that? Or were you too caught up with the curls? Lolx.
The
end product for today thanks to Mr. Joe, my hair stylist. =D
So people!! Fion is in need of opinions! Which suits me better? Which is nicer? Lolx. To be honest, when I first saw the curls... my eyes went O.O??? OMFG??? Haha... Then after awhile, hmmm, maybe its not that bad. I'm in fact growing fond of it. Lolx. But I guess I still like straight hair more. I guess it suits me more. =)
Conclusion, operation of getting bangs FAILED again! Lolx.
I guess thats all for now. Till then. =)

Yay! Whee! Final Exam is OFFICIALLY OVER! WOOTS!!!!
Though I feel that I could have actually done better especially in my business law exam, but anyway.... Lets just wish for the best. What is done is done already. No point crying over spilt milk.
After yesterday's last paper, the foursome (sueyen, jiamin, shirley & I) and Tehsee stayed back in uni to prepare for a surprise farewell party for Wyesern. Lolx. Head over to Pyramid around 7pm and meet up with Wanling and Sookting and do more preparation for the surprise. And the best thing was,.... IT WAS A SUCCESS! LOLX. He was surprised! He was shocked! He was touched! Lolx. Stay tune for the pictures taken in FB. Lolx.
Today, had 2 hours of dance class and headed over to One Utama just now for a hair do over. Lolx. It turned out.... Jeng Jeng Jeng!
Stay tune to find out more. ^.^
One thing I seriously don't understand about parents. Before exam, I was not allowed to hang out with my friends. This is I totally understand. But then now, after exams, my parents are still nagging me about going out with my friends. =.=' My mum nagged me for coming back late yesterday. Please la... 11.30pm for a 19 year old girl IS NOT CONSIDER LATE. ARGH. Today, I went out again and my dad lectured me saying, "I tell you, you better don't go hang out everytime" Arghhh. Before exam cannot go out, after exam also cannot go out. Are you trying to lock my freedom out??? Sobs. I'm no longer a kid, ma and pa. I've grown up. I'm a young adult now. You can't always treat me like I'm 10. Sooner or later I would have to spread my own wings. I hope you guys would understand this. No harsh intention here. You guys know I love you both loads. I really do. =)
Till then.

I'm actually pretty exhausted now. Been squeezing the juice out of my brain for the pass few days. Why so? Its exam period now. Me being back into my nerd mode. 3 papers done and 1 more to go. Fion gambateh! Fion kayau! Fion jiayou! I can do it!!!
Two things that actually cross my mind during this exam period which I feel deserve a slot in this lil blog of mine.
Firstly,
- When you have too many things on hand, the best solution is always to take it easy and to take it step by step. That is what that has been motivating me to move on and providing me with the extra effort to pick up the courage to go for it.
Secondly,
- It is always easier to console or comfort someone but it is always tough to self-console. Although, self-console is tough, it has to be done in a way or another. What must be done should be done. Well, lets just put it in this way... Things are always easier said than done. Totally true.
Well, till then for now.
