    The Men In My Life

    Lai Kwong Wai/Lai Fong Wai/Papi
    Yes, he is my dad. He is the greatest man in my life. What can I say? He provided me all the things I need and want. He provided me a comfortable home, gave me good education, taught me all the good values and most important of all, he spent almost half of his life separated from the family so he can bring home the 'good bread'. I don't think I will ever be able to repay what he did for us, for me. I can only wish him happy and healthy all the time. Love you Papi.
     
    Chen Ziqing
    Not many of my friends are familiar with this name except those very busybody ones... haha... He is my very first 'boyfriend'. At 16, excited about BGR and the time of hormones changing... I met this big brother of 5 years older. We met while I was travelling KL. He was studying in KL, originally from JB. We hit off very well and remained in touch even after the trip back in JB. We were sort of in a relationship but rarely meet each other - literally once in a blue moon. Being young and innocent, thinking having a 21-year-old boyfriend was cool - I reserved my heart for him - not putting interest in other guys available to me for 2 years. Eventually, in one occasion, I learnt from his younger brother that he bought his 'girlfriend' home for dinner. Haha... there I go, realising that was a joke and woke up from my pretty dream.
     
    Ziqing and I are still friends now, quite close in fact. Now we can connect better as to him I was a young, innocent girl then (I hated this thought of him ). We do sometimes talk and laugh on that history of us and he never fail to say sorry everytime (Please don't misunderstand, I am a very forgiving person ). To be honest, there was a point where we wanted to start that relationship again, in a mature way. However, that just didn't happen. I am glad I have him as a big brother to me now. Wish him with all the happiness!
     
    Lee Sin Hau
    Haha... this dude... Hmm... what should I say about him? He is important to me, although it has been ages since we last chatted and met. He played an important role during the end of my high-school times. His existence made me went thorugh the 'break up' with Ziqing much much more easier. We knew each other since 12 but we got really close only at Form 4. We were so close until the others started to gossip, we didn't give a damn. We continued believing in pure friendship between a boy and a girl. We talked absolutely about everything and did a lot of meaningless things together. I have to say I admired his characters, his thoughts and his philosophies. That carried on for more than a year until we two decided to become an item. Well, that obviously didn't work out. He met a girl at Uni and we separated. That was bitter but the happy thing is he is still with the girl and I think they are now entering the 6th year of their relationship.
     
    Although we aren't as close as before, but he definitely has influenced me in many ways. Take care, goodboy!
     
    Kow Wai Jack
    Bighead Pok! Which of my friends doesn't know him or at least heard of him?? haha... you guys all know who he is and our story right? I don't have to tell much then...  Okay, I once thought that I am going to build my future together with him, however life can never be planned. Although getting through all the dissapointments and heart-pains wasn't easy, but I do appreciate it. If it hasn't been for this relationship, I wouldn't be able to learn and grow; I wouldn't be able to see the correct ways of handling a relationship; I wouldn't be able to see what I really want in a man. Things happen for the better, aren't they?  
     
    Same as the other previous boyfriends, Pok and I of course are still friends, we still meet up once in a while and I still stay in touch with his family. In fact, whenever I am feeling unhappy or sad or being bullied (despite the fact that he was the biggest bully of all, haha...), I'll automatically think of him or call him. If you are not bothered by his occasionally empty promises, he is really a good friend, he can really stretch himself to help you (He will stretch further if you are pretty... hahaha...). Alrighty, work harder la big head! Don't always play!
     
    Adam Lee
    Hmm... Adam... not a lot of my friends know him. Adam was a senior to me at Inti. We knew each other for barely less than a semester before he flew to US. Despite the short period of knowing him, we clicked and were very much in sync. Oh no.. don't misunderstand, our relationship was absolutely platonic. He was like a caregiver, never failed to give me advise and support whenever I needed to. I remember the time when I broke up with Hau, he consoled me patiently with the long distance phone calls, wrote me long emails and cheered me up with his jokes. He did the same when things turned sour with Pok. He is like an angel who will always be by my side during my sad moments.
     
    He is still at US working, together with his Thai girlfriend. I miss him dearly. He is one of those people who aren't always present to me but has a special place in my heart. Wish him well all the time.
     
    Dayal Govan
    I should be polite, he should be addressed as Mr Govan. He came out of nowhere and suddenly plays an important role in my career decision-making processes. It's difficult to explain my connection with him here. So far, since I graduated from Uni, his existence, one way or other, influenced the decisions I made. Again, he is like a magical person sent from up there to affect me and the path I am taking. Erm... I don't know how to put it, I won't say he has enlightened me but he made me feel secured and protected by being my elderly friend.
     
    Oh, just in case you are confused, I worked for him twice, first at Year 2004/05 and then this year - all during my transitions. Wish him healthy always.      
     
    Francesco Montrone
    Hehe... him. What can I say? His existence has basically proven my belief that - there are actually people out there who can pair with you like 2 pieces of matching puzzle - is true. Although these 2 puzzle pieces can't be combined yet at this stage, but hey! who is rushing? Good things take time.  
     
             
    Okay, like 'The Women In My Life', definitely there will be a long list of names that I have not specify above. They are all angels who stand by me whenever I needed them: KuCheong, Beck Heng, JunHao, Yong Khai (I secretly admired him at age 11), Katak, Pong San, Pong Swee, Foo, basically the whole Science1 gang, the whole Seremban gang, Fatt Fatt, Ah Keong, Tiger, Ah Seng, Ah Beng, Khoon Han, Yuk Ming, Lao Ban, TM, Sameem, King, Go, Jonathan, Terrence, Marcus, and many others. Hugs for all.

    Those Days...

    Grabbed this photo from Luo Meizi... Haha... weren't we cute?

    The Women In My Life

    Michelle Ho/Mrs Lai/Mummy
    Well, obviously Mrs Lai is the first woman of my life. I was once part of her body. She suffered hell lot of pain at the hospital 24 years ago so her little baby can see the world. She is a tough woman I have to admit. I believe part of my stubbornness and independant character come from her. She has been managing home and all family issues by herself while Papi is working hard overseas. Mrs Lai has been a strict mother, however, at 24 now, looking back how I was brought up, I do owe what I am today to her. Honestly, I have not been a good daughter, making her worries all the time. I am sorry mum and you know I love you.
     
    Ho Ah Hoi/Ah Ma
    She was my grandma. A few years of my childhood were under her care. To be honest there weren't a lot of affections from her to me. In my memories, this Mrs Lai is as tough as the Mrs Lai above. She was the principal of the house, what she said counted. It has been many years since she left us. Nowadays, it is always a joyous gathering for the family whenever we pay respect to her and grandpa.
     
    Lai Hon Kit/Lai Yen Heng/Lai Yen Kit
    Definitely you all can easily recognise them as my sisters from their names. That's right, I have 3 sisters... and including me, there are 4 girls in the family. And right again, no boys at home. Lai Family is basically female dominated, especially Papi is not at home most of the time. We all didn't really grow up together. Kache (Lai Hon Kit) stayed separate from us when we moved to a new house, Meimei (Lai Yen Kit) was with Papi & Mummy at Bangladesh until she was 7 or 8. I think only Lai Yen Heng and I stayed together all the while. But whenever all of us are together, we will laugh all day for nothing, absolutely nothing; we'll make silly faces at each other; play silly games; make only-funny-to-us jokes. I can't deny that I love those silly moments. Well... of course I am not hiding the fact that we fight a lot too. We can have big rows and fights over silly stuffs: like who wore whose new T-shirt, who should sit at the co-driver seat, who should sweep and mop the floor today, who should do the laundry today. Just like any other sisters and brothers out there.
     
    Now we have all grown up, I can obviously feel that we are more open towards each others, in terms of topics on boyfriends, life and feelings. Unlike younger, we used to avoid embarassing subjects. I also remember we used to imagine if we would still call Meimei as 'Meimei' (means little sister) when we all became nannies; would my little sisters still call me Jiejie Yee (means sister yee) when we are all without teeth. Hmm... I wonder...
     
    Goh Ting Ting/Luo Mei Zi
    These 2 creatures! Haha... What can I say? I love them. They know everything about me. I can't really remember how long I have known them. We knew each other since our ugly teen years even pre-teens. We were still innocent, blur, having cheesy looking hairstyles, wearing big spectacles or still without spectacles, having no clues about BGR, having no clues on make-ups (maybe lmz still have no clues on that ), on and on. Gosh, I can't believe how ignorant we were, not forgetting to include Annie, Xiao Tian, Wai Chian, and Shu Lin. We did all sorts of crazy stuffs: we ran on the streets yelling 'Happy New Year!' to everyone at Year 2000 new year's eve; skipped classes during exam peak period for murals; stayed up whole night and attended class the next day as usual; ate burnt popcorns; flipped slippers into the bowl of fries before we can eat it (opps.. that's ting ting! not us!); sang karaoke so loudly until the whole neighbourhood can hear us; went after handsome seniors and not to mention all the crazy games we played at camps. Heaps more... oh... I can only say those were the days.
     
    Now we all are based in different places. MSN Messenger is our main means of communication. We keep each other up-to-date of our happenings and talk to each other if anyone's in doubt of anything. In short, I can only say they are my treasures!
     
    Lee Keeli
    I hung out with her more than anyone else at college. We were always seen together at campus - when there was Enyi/Keeli, high possibility that Keeli/Enyi will be around. I have to admit she changed some of my mind-sets about things, money, relationships and life. She did opened up another part of the world which I had not been exposed to before college, very subtly. It's difficult to describe that changes in me but I can feel it. We are totally 2 different type of people but somehow we got along very well. I think we inspired each other in our very own ways. We are not contacting each other as often since we graduated from uni, but I know she is also working very hard to lead a beautiful life. Wish her well all the time.
     
    Susan Yap/Mildred Voon
    I know it's weird to include Susan and Mildred under this column, if any of you reading knows who they are. They are my directors at Crowne Plaza. I know I know, I merely worked for Crowne Plaza for less than a year, but sometimes I do think my time at CP was a magical period of my life. That short period made me realised who I am and what I should do. Hehe...I even met someone special during that time.
     
    Thus, Susan and Mildred were the magicians who have pointed their magical wand on my head. 'Puff!' There I go - I transformed and changed and realised what is the type of life I want. I don't know how they did that, maybe it was through their words, through their day-to-day guidances, through their ways of handling matters and so on. They lit up a passion inside me. Okay, I know I sound a little over but until now, did you guys realise that at every stage of my life, there meant to be someone or some body who will transform and enlighten me? They are one of them.
     
    Those whom I didn't mention: Kuma, Biao Jie, BB, Xiao Hui, Meiling, Teacher Mai, Teacher Fu, Teacher AiLi, Miss Tan, Cik Ch'ng, Hau's Mum, Adeline, Wendy, Ah Bee, Xiao Yen, Connetto, Xiao Jing, Yvette, Liwei, Pok's Mum, Pok's Grandma, Pok's Aunt, Mandy, Wenny, Meera, Bing Bing, Jane, Shaiza, Echo, Viva, Anto, etc and some of them merely tip-toed by. I believe more and more are coming. They all appeared at different stages of my life yet all left impacts on me. I wish I can be that somebody who have enlightened someone at a certain stage of his/her life as well.

    My Handwriting Analysis

     
    Got this from a website analysing handwriting...
     
    For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space.  If the inputted data was correct Yen has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Yen fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Yen has  a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Yen is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Yen would like to leave the past behind and move on.
    (Well... I think if I can, I would like to leave like half a page for my left margin... move move move!! fast!!)
     
    Yen has a very unusual lower zone y loop. If the data input is correct, Yen's y or g is large and opens up to the left side of the page. This is not a common trait, but the implications are very interesting.  As you begin to study handwriting analysis, you will learn any loop indicates imagination. This lower loop indicates the amount of imagination Yen has regarding sex and physical things. So, her lower zone stroke is large, so her sexual imagination is large and open. Furthermore, because the loop is incomplete and extends to the left, this indicates a particular fascination with certain aspects of sexuality that have not been fulfilled, yet. In a nutshell, Yen is open to some very new ideas sexually and is willing to try anything once.
    (hahaha... don't ask me... no comment!)
     
    Yen is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.
     
    Yen is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
     
    Yen will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Yen believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.
    (too much I think...)
     
    Yen is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes. Yen will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Yen an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other. When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Yen is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. Yen is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.
     
    Yen is talkative. She enjoys talking and socializing. She may talk when there is absolutely nothing important to say. She enjoys speaking.
    (noooo... I am sooo not...)
     
    In reference to Yen's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Yen slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Yen can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
     
    People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially.  According to the data input, Yen doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
     
    I have been leisurely studying graphology for quite some years... love it... overall, I am kinda inconsistent in my writing pattern... my writing pressure, the size of my letters, my strokes and my loops... this indicates that I am a Switcher, it can be a good thing at the same time not good either... I adapt to things very quickly, flexible and understanding.. but it also indicates that I am emotional and can be impatient at times... one thing I learnt from graphology is that, changing how you write can indirectly change your attitude too... wicked!
