22nd Birthday!

Hey guys, I am back again. While I am not in the mood of doing anything right now, I choose to update my blog with the 22nd birthday celebration.

22nd birthday celebration was a blast! I always have two days of celebrating birthday ever since I came to US, due to the time differences. I first encountered the birthday feels when I received birthday wishes from the loves one through different social platforms. Thank you for your birthday shout outs. In total, I received 9 birthday posts with my funny, ugly, nice and unbelievable faces on it. I received and read every single word of your post, and it really meant a lot to me. I am blessed.

The next day, which was the 25th of September in SF, everything is planned and I didn’t really get surprise for celebrating it. I had no class on Friday, so it was a FREE day for me. I started off the day by having a long-awaited brunch with the friend I always stick around with, Wey Sin. After that, we actually went to Lombard Street to take some pictures. Although I went there when I first came to SF, it was still a tourist place where I would want to pay a visit due to the crookedness of the street.



After spending few hours taking pictures and enjoying the picturesque views of San Francisco, we then headed to Fisherman Wharf for my birthday dinner at The Franciscan Crab Restaurant. We meet up with Ying Yu, Alberto, Qlin and Peerapan for that dinner. It was a seafood feast. After enjoying the dinner, I actually had the feeling of the appearance of birthday cake pops out suddenly. My sense worked well on that night, and a birthday cake appeared in front of me. Thank you for the birthday song, birthday treat and most importantly the presence of you in lighting up the night of 25.09.2015. I am officially 22nd.


I am thankful for having them by my side just like a family in SF. Without them; I guess it’s definitely hard for me to ‘survive’ in SF. Thank you.  


Summer Break'15

While I am given some time to update my blog, I would prioritize this post by blogging about my great summer break back in May to August. It was definitely one of my most enjoyable summer breaks, and I really missed every bits of it. I had not gone home during the last winter break for no reason, that’s why I really cherished every moment that I spent at home. I first started off my summer break by going to Hong Kong and Macau with my family and uncles. It was indeed a time I treasured a lot because being abroad all these while without them was not fun at all. Being able to spend some quality time with them, it’s beyond what I had assumed in the past. Although it was not a long break with them, it was still a much-needed gateway with them.





After came back from Hong Kong and Macau, I spent the following week with the best friends in Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung. This trip was undoubtedly fun, memorable and pleasurable. It was our first trip to outstation after knowing each other for 6 years. A 6 days 5 nights trip to Indonesia was an indelible trip, which will never be erased in the memories of ours. From the first day we departed from KUL to Jakarta, to Bogor to Bandung and back to Jakarta, all the moments that we had shared was fresh in my mind. Every morning we woke up and looked at each other for the consecutive days can be so precious, which can be happened rarely in the years to come. I'm sure we had fun enjoying ourselves throughout the trip. I really hope we have more chances to have gateways with each other in the future. 






After came back from Indonesia, we actually still ‘stick’ together for consecutive days before Ying Yu went back to SF. We went to KL for 2 days 1 night to enjoy those attractive desserts and nice foods. From Acme Bar Café to Dip’N Dip to Snowflake to Village Park Nasi Lemak to Haraju-Cube, we experienced food coma on that time! That’s not the end yet, because we continued to hunt for foods after we came back to Malacca. The best thing of it was the five of us, the so called ‘ All belongs to us’ finally met. Cheryl, Chin Ying, Feli, Ying Yu and I, eventually met up and able to update our group icon! It’s been a long time, we gathered and spent an enjoyable day. I could not imagine when will be the next time the five of us will meet again. I supposed it would only happen when each and every one of us had graduated from universities.






By the time Ying Yu went back to SF, Feli started her new semester, Cheryl continued with her internship and Chin Ying attended her class, I was left alone in Malacca. This was the time when I spent it most of the time with my mom solely in the shopping center, grandpa’s house, café, restaurant and etc. I really missed every moment that I spent with her. Even though there were time when we had nothing to do, but being able to spend time at home was kind of enjoyment. You would not know how a sweet home would be until you’ve left home and stayed alone. Every moment spent with family was always the best part during my summer break.





In the three months of break, I had also spent my time with friends who I had not met and missed dearly. We hung out at different cafes, laughed, teased, gossiped, and loitered around with each other. Few days before I left to SF, I got some surprises from my dearly friends and family. I did not expect any advanced birthday celebrations from them, as I thought that a 22nd birthday would be an ordinary one. However, I was totally surprised to witness a cake appeared in front of me on our last outing. Thank you the big bunch of you. Having you guys by my side through ups and downs since we were 13, I am totally blessed. Not forget to mention, my lovely family for giving me a small birthday celebration the day before I departed. I love each and every one of you for a lifetime.






That’s basically sum up my three months of summer break. I would say it was a superb break, which I needed and waited for so long. I felt like the three months of break went by too fast, in a blink of an eye. I could not even accept the fact that it’d gone. There’s no more summer break for me, which is really sad. As promised, I will be back on the upcoming Winter break. I look forward to seeing you guys once again.


Till then.

Jie Ying.

人生无常

外婆這樣就沒了 😪 我永遠懷念您!❤️ 回憶和照片將伴隨我一生!外婆,是時候好好休息了...

💔

剛剛看了在棺木里的外婆,眼淚忍不住潸然淚下,心裡還是有很多話想對她說 😔 外婆,你還好嗎?你的愛,你的話,我都會銘記於心!我真的很捨不得你 😥

永遠愛你

外婆走了,永遠的離開了我,離開了我們,我並沒有送她老人家最後一程,距離的問題讓我連最後一面也沒見,那種失去親人的感覺好難受。僅以此文紀念哀悼我也最愛的外婆!

  其實我都不相信外婆突然就沒了,半夜剛剛收到媽媽發來她的近況,聽到媽媽在電話那頭說外婆癱瘓的時候,心簡直是崩潰!當天的中午,媽媽一封信息說外婆病逝了。我的心恍如晴天霹靂一聲,我無法接受這個事實!由於路程的遙遠,繁重的課業,根本不能回去,好難受,最後一面也見不到了。

  外婆我好想你,我不知道自己要做什麼,不知道該去做什麼,我都回不去,連最後一面也看不到了。只有在這裡寫日誌對你的想念對自己的自責,您怎麼不堅持一下,我多幾個月就回來了,我多想再摸摸你的手,多想吃你做的飯菜,多想在叫叫你,好像這對我來說好遙遠了。我不能回去參加您的葬禮了,我老是轉移注意力,不去想這件事,可是我想了好久並且告訴自己,外婆真的沒了,真的沒了,外婆上天堂了,那裡也許會更幸福。我總是坐在電腦前面,想您永遠沈睡在那漆黑的棺材里,與黃土做伴。想到了最後見您那面,說的那句話:「外婆,我要回美國了!你要好好照顧身體!等我回來再來看你。」 沒想到那一走居然是最後一面。

  外婆,我愛你,一路走好。

I MISS YOU

沒想到自己再也沒有機會叫你阿婆,
沒想到自己再也沒有機會去盼望你,
没想到自己再也没有機會跟你睡覺,
没想到自己再也没有機會和你聊天,
没想到自己再也没有機會叫你要吃。
這一切只留下了美好又深刻的印象!
阿婆,
下輩子我也要繼續當你的外孙女!
这一刻,来得太突然!
真的怪自己为何要往外发展,
怪自己为何不好好孝顺你,
怪自己为何不回去看你,
怪自己为何不珍惜你,
现在,一切已经太迟了!
没的见你最后一面,
自己的心情也不知如何形容!
不管怎样,
我祝福你在往后的日子依然那么的慈祥,那么的疼爱我,保护我!
我会永永远远记得你!
晚安! 


I Will Always Miss you ❤️


I am sorry, I am the worst granddaughter of yours.
I am sorry, I have not visited you for a while.
I am sorry, I have not made you proud of me.
I am sorry, I am not able to be with you.
I am sorry, I just let you go like this.
I am sorry, I did not spend my time with you.
I didn't know the last time I talked to you would be have you taken your meals? Remember to drink plenty of water. I will always remember the last few questions that you're still able to question me. Just a simple ' Will I miss you' is enough to make me tears.
For now, I want to thank you for taking care of me since I was an infant, for sending me to and back from kindergarten, for preparing me meals over meals through days and nights, for holding my hands to cross the road, most importantly for showing me how important to be a great people in future. As I am growing up, I realize you are growing older. I have so much promises that I have kept secretly with myself after knowing you were sick so badly in the past. I am so disappointed with myself that I have not fulfilled all of them by the time you left. Grandma, I promise you, I WILL STUDY HARD FOR THE SAKE OF YOU. You might not be able to see me succeed one day later, but I promise you I will visit you once I reach home few months later. Till then, thank you for having grandpa as your whole life partner, for having my mom as your daughter and uncles as your sons. I will take care and protect them well enough in the future. I hope you rest peacefully in the heaven. All the memories that I shared with you will always be remembered. I miss you, grandma :(

一路好走!
願妳在天之靈安息!
願天堂的妳不再經受病痛的折磨,願天堂的妳不再經歷日子的艱辛!
