17/11/2010 - Birthday Celebration

Mine, my cousin's and my uncle's brithdays fall on November. So we celebrated birthday together today. I reached Qbm at 12.15pm and we had lunch at Sakae Sushi in the mall. After that, we went to Neway Karaoke to sing for 3 hours! =) Well, i still prefer Red Box because of their better system and service. At night, my grandma made grilled chicken wing, friend noodles, salad and jelly. While we bought pizza on our way home from Qbm. :D

20/11/2010 - Hard Rock Hotel

Me and my family checked into Hard Rock Hotel, Penang on Saturday for 1 night. Before that, i heard that the hotel is nice and unique, with a common swimming pool outside each room on ground floor. Meaning, you can just jump into the swimming pool from the room's balcony, if you are staying on ground floor. It sounds interesting to me. =)

We departed from home at 10am and reached there around 11am. But only 1 room is ready, so we headed to the room and changed into our swimming suits and jumped into the swimming pool! ;) The most exciting thing is, my grandfather even joined us in the pool! Woohoo! Later that, we went to the kids pool as there are slides there. OMG. That was a memorable scene! A 70-year-old grandfather sliding with his grandchildren?! Should have took a picture of it! XD We swam for 1 hour and got up for lunch at the lobby. =) Then, they continued to swim, while i bathed and applied my mask in the room and watch them swim. =D

After that, we went out for dinner at a Western Restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated with both indoor and outdoor dining. It is spacious and i love that restaurant very much. However, my grandparents found their food tasteless. LOL. But i think it was ok for me. After dinner, we went and walked around the street. I don't feel quite comfortable walking there because it was dark and the sellers are kind of over proud or whatever. Which makes me feel uneasy... =S We got back to the hotel at 9pm, played UNO and start to sleep at 10pm. BUT, there was a band performing in the lobby. Super Loud! I only managed to sleep after the performance. @.@

The next morning, we woke up at 8am! OMG, that's late! We ordered room service for breakfast and jumped into the swimming pool again after breakfast! =) My youngest cousin did not get to swim this time because she had a flu... Aww so sad... But she went and played at the Kids Club. We checked out around 11.45am and went and eat chicked rice for lunch. I still prefer the chicken rice and "chai boey" at island glades. That's my favourite! =) And that is how i spent my weekend. Exciting yet memorable. <3

I am the only child

Being the only child in a family is both an advantage and a disadvantage. When friends know that i am the only child, their reaction are almost similar. "Wa, you are having 100% of your parents love huh?" or like the chinese saying goes "a yellow little flower grown in greenhouse". But when i was young, honestly, i don't quite like to be seen differently as the only child. Because i feel they are treating me differently, as in, they will say something good and feel jealous or something like that. So i wish i had a brother or sister in the past.

As years pass by, i start to take it as a positive thing. If i had a brother or sister, who is going to share things with me, i don't think i would be as happy as i feel now. Parents budget will be lesser, they will look after my sibling/s while looking after me... ... I sometimes even think that i will be sitting all alone if i don't feel loved. Bla bla bla. And one more thing, no one is here to compete with me, and my results won't be compared with others! :D

Haha. Looking at the scenario now. My two cousins. 1 in standard 6, and 1 in standard 3 next year. The elder one is hardworking and she finally got into the first class. While the younger one is lazier and less focus and she did not get good results and went into the second class. Her parents were quite upset on her performance and they rewarded my elder cousin. Of course, the younger one will be unhappy to see this. And everyone in the family, especially my grandma is talking about it all the time. =S See, that's 1 disadvantage of having a sibling.

Another story, my aunt decided to buy a PSP or whatever thing for both of their birthday present. So they went to this shop and my aunt bought 1 for my younger cousin for her birthday present. My elder cousin did not get 1 because she wanted a different model. So their parents and my grandparents were saying that she didn't deserve the present because she didn't get good results. The same old story again... And today, my elder cousin got her present and it's a better model one. From her body language, i know that she's jealous. Extremely jealous. Firstly, she didn't want to follow her sister to purchase the present, secondly, she kept on emphasizing on her present's strength and her sister's present's weakness. Although i am not a psychologist, but from this small little reactions, i know her! ;)

Alright, the conclusion is, i prefer being the only child now. As long as i have good friends that i can talk to and they are willing to listen to me, i am happy. =)

Is it because of me??

Everytime when i see or hear that, tears start to roll down my face. I am really upset about it and i really want to know whether i am the root of the problem. I think i am. I really do... Just yesterday, while i was doing my revision, "tragedy" strikes! I do not like to see any conflicts between both of you. Although it is essential to speak things out, but i would rather it to be done in my absence. At least i am clueless about it. Nevertheless, i heard everything. My heart is in pain.
Does the problem exist because of me?? If i wasn't here, will you face that problem and be unhappy?? Will you be happier and stay in peace without me being here?? T.T
There was once where i thought of going to some place, where both of you could not find me. But my friend said i am not being a good and responsible child like this. Or going away before both of you, then there will not be any problems you're facing right now. My friend, again, said, i am being selfish here. So the solution??

I remembered you saying that if i am happy, you will be happy. But do you know what makes me happy? It's when i see the loveliness between both of you...
