Chapters & Pages - Debbie H.L.Teo

All good things must come to an end

i know that sounds sooo CliChé …

but like i mention before , running out of space here. And being a lil miser that i am…dont plan to….erm why pay for a blog when i can get it for free ?

yes yes…Debbie very kiam siap one..so dont expect me to belanja you guys anything!!! =p

Finally made my choice on starting a blog on Blogspot. Seems like so many ppl are using it, so i thought , what the heck. Anyway no limits as to how many photos i can post on it. I like to Photo-Blog. And yes i already started my own Flickr - hehehe…well there were many choices around like….PhotoBucket….Multiply….ImageShack loads more. But i sort of thought to try one FIRST. Not that IT Savvy yet. Not too sure how to fully use my Flickr accounts yet but will let ya guys know about it soon.

I have actually set up my New Blog on blogspot for quiet some time already but never found time to update this blog and let you guys know about it.yes yes..not -Blog Savvy either. Maybe i should run to the bookstore and get me one of those "Blogging for Idiots " or " Blog like a Pro " or even " 5 Steps to create your very own Blog " kinda thingy. Sounds good ??

Neways ;

Sorry Guys - i know there are like only a handful of you ppl out there that actually reads my jabbering - rubbish. hehehe..but thanks anyway.

But you be surprise that there are SOME ppl who actually " READS " my blog. And coz of THEM , i have actually grown quiet Popular …hahaha..if i should say so myself!!( Damn..is this room getting smaller ?…or is my head getting bigger ??? LOL )  hahaha…but these PPL who read my blog ..erm…lets just say they didnt LIKE me that much anymore.Ouch…. =p Well not sure if THEY even liked me from the begining at all……Double Ouch.

Neways ;

I have always been and will keep saying this .

I AM NO SAINT.

Never claim to be ONE.

( Can you imagine Debbie ..a Saint ??? LOL ..ok ok..no need to get dramatic with the vomiting sound effects ok..i GET IT = p )

I know that ‘ Freedom of Speech ‘ is DEFINATELY over-rated. But if you are gonna be offended with every single thing in life - Gosh..you have my sympathy.Its part of life ,

Some ppl like ya

Some ppl dont

Some ppl hate your guts

Some just couldnt even be bothered

So what can ya do about it ???

DEAL WITH IT.

Hey this is LIFE. Live it.Learn it.Love it.

It was also becoz to THESE PPL … i was a bit down for awhile…wonderin where the heck did i go wrong  ? Just about all sorts of imaginable profanities pops to my head…hahaha and some non-exisiting ones too..hehehehe

But i decided that i need to get back on track. If they dont appreciate it…the hell with them.

I am who I am. Cant change THAT.

If i can go around helping and talking to my students or even my peers about getting over their problems and be more positive - dont tell me i cant get over THIS ??? HELLOO ??

I guess THAT Chapter of my Life thus far has finally come to an end. A lil sad and disappointed. But awhole lot Smarter ( I hope..hahaha ). A bit more Matured.A tad more Braver.A dash more Stronger.And definately awhole lot Lighter ( hahaha…not literally ok..) .A burden has been lifted off.Feeling very relieved.Its all good, i tell ya….Good. ^_^

And now a new journey awaits for me to begin,to explore ,to discover and to learn.
Just beyond the horizon , i hear the whispering call  of my name in the wind.

" Debbbie….Debbbieeeee……come…..comeeeee "

Eh ? Damn…that sounds so eeerie…seesh.

So ’til the next pages of the my new chapter begins i leave you with this qoute……

The great Mark Twain once said ;

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Its been awhile since i last blog.

loads has happened…i suppose.

Been on  a road trip with my parents. hahaha

making up for lost time….seeing how i missed out loads of trips in the last 2 years.

Taking loads of photos but mostly sceneries.

Started my trip going up to Cameron Highlands - a vacation spot i used to visit with my family on a annual basis…sometimes twice.

The last time i went up was a couple of years ago.And the last time i was there…i didnt see a MarryBrown Chicken fastfood outlet there….hehehehe and a new building for parking which was really a waste of good space - you’ll have to see it to know what im jabberin about.

After that, travel up to Kelantan - Kota Bharu - Now this is a place that i have not been to in more than 10 years. The last time i went was whan i only in Form 3 . =p yeah that was eons ago.
Visited my Aunt . My mum’s eldest sister. havent seen her in ages too.

Spent sometime there. And yeah of coz i loads of photos as well. Cousins brought us to this restaurant that require us to drive very deep into a housing area / village…hehehe..for Thai food. Yummmiiiillliiiiicccccccciioous i tell ya. Aunt came down to Klang with US. YIPPEEEE… ^_^

Passed by Terengganu - Kuala Terengganu - ok ok..a place i have NEVER been to or thru. hahaha really nice beaches. beautiful. and loads and loads of places that sell keropok lekok. - loads!

Might be to Kota Bharu again next week or so. Then across to Penang!!! so have to call my ai-ya brother there miss him la..hahaha and my other friends..hehehe and most importantly they know how to bring me to the best place for  Penang food .. hehe yeaahhhhh. Penang Fried Kuey Teow - slluurrppppsss

and if we have time , we’ll stop by in Cameron Highlands again. Eversince i had the steambot there that last time , i have been hankering for it. hahahaha

Anyway , loads happenin. im enjoyin life. Loads to jabber somemore..but the reason being that my space here in friendster blog is almost full..and being a miser that i am , not gonna pay to upgrade…sigh…why pay when you can get free ??? LOL

Well coz of the limited space , i cant load photos anymore. sigh

ok ok…will be starting another blog soon. Either on Blogspot …BlogDrive…Xanga..whichever. will definately keep you guys ( those few that actually read my jabbering nonsense ) updated.

Being a Malaysian for the past 26 years , there are still places in Good Ol’ Malaysia that i have yet to explore. hehehe

sounds dramatic? hehe . i know…sigh

Neways , spent an ENTIRE DAY on a ROAD TRIP - to where ??

FRASER’S HILL - Pahang

I have never been to Fraser’s Hill- Heck ..i have never even met Fraser. hehehe ( ok ok..i know..very lame )

Started out journey at 9 something..in the morning of coz.Only me,my mum,my dad and my sis went.

Dads been saying that it has been 30 years since he last went to Fraser’s Hill - He has been saying is all day on Saturday. Thats when the idea of going up to Fraser’s Hill came about. sigh

Neways , it was a ONE DAY TRIP. hahaha i know i know…

I was kinda excited about it coz i have never been to Fraser’s Hill.

YiIIiPpPpPPPpEEEeeeEe

to me…going to anywhere that is COLD - is a GREAT thing. hehe i love cold places. ^_^

On our way , we sort of got misled by the signboards along the highway ( a typical scenario here in Malaysia Highway - sigh ) .

We didnt notice any signs that say Kuala Kubu Bharu - a town that we were suppose to go to before we drive up to Fraser’s Hill. And since it has been 30 years since Dad last went…. we werent too sure either until we saw a sign that say

Lembah Beringin -  sis sort of said " eh that might be it . "

We drove in. As it turns out , it wasnt. hehehe not gonna say the whole story coz SIS is gonna kill me… *wink* *wink*

Long story short - we finally found our way to Kuala Kubu Bharu - and then Fraser’s Hill.

Its a nice place. I suppose. Small town. Nothing much to see really….well literally nothing much to see. Mom and sis felt cheated. hahaha..you see , we are all used to going up to Cameron Highlands - our annual get-away trip.And so to compare Fraser’s Hill and Cameron Highlands - BIG DIFFERENCE .

This is the entire town.

Of coz not including the other resorts and clubs around . But that is indeed the town.
We did see some tourist around. hehehe

And you can also see this nice small clock tower right smack in the middle.^_^

The scenary of coz was nice. Its always nice to look at views of lush green mountains. Air unpolluted.No noise pollution either. Riv ers have clear water running. It gives a very fresh feel.

To say little has changed over a period of 30 years isnt exactly true but to say it has changed alot - isnt exactly suitable either. Conclusion

It has changed.

We had lunch at SilverPark Resort - Lavender Restaurant.

Erm..there were buffet option but it wasnt much of an option to begin with. So we had ala-carte instead. We all had western food.I have to say this, the food sucks. Seriously. Ask my sis or dad or mum. They will tell ya that the food sucks. hehehe

But the place do look nice. *_*

Anyway , the trip wasnt that bad. Was fun spending time together. And of coz knowing ME - moi. I have my trusty Pentax Optio S6 with me. My digital camera la. So there are bounds to be pictures taken. hahahaha

note to self : should consider taking up photography.

Again..do not be fooled by the title..hehehe….this event happened at Sushi King - hence the fish ^_^

29th June 2006

Shirley’s Big Day @ Birthday

Happy Birthday Shirley!!!

May your life be filled with loads and loads of great people , great food and great things.

As i was saying - We went to Sushi King in BBT.

Shirley arrived on time with another of our friend. I was running late coz i had some errands to run and then went to picked up Julie. We reached around 7 something , by then they were already digging into the array of sushi passing on the convenyor belt. Ran into an old colleague right before i went into the loo. hehehe…we were standin there and yakkin and ppl passing by wondering -" are we ok ? of all places..why near the toilet ? hahaha "

Well i am no sushi fanatic but i guess the food was ok.

Later on , we sang a very soft Birthday song for the Birthday Gal - coz at first she didnt want us to sing but then we sang and we did it very softly too..hahaha

We got her a Mini Cappuccino Cake for Bees. It was yummilicous.Then before we dig into the cake , PHOTO TIME!!! hahaha yeah..i know…this was why i got a Digi Cam….hehehe

By then there were only 3 but we sure did make alot of noise. Got some pics taken. Had one of the waitress to snap a group photo for us - waitress dunno how to handle a camera…sigh .

And seeing that we were at a Japanese aka Sushi Restaurant - we used our chopsticks to eat our cake ^_^

Neways , it was a fun evening. Birthday Gal likes to pose in a CU TE kinda way…as evidently shown on the photos. heheheee

Happy Birthday Again  Shirley !! Many Happy Returns!! 

So judging from the topic - ya gonna think that Debbie has gone cracko ?? hahaha…suicidal ?????

Gosh…no..hehehe i maybe a lil cranky at times…a lil nutty….and yes slightly ditzy…but heck not that cracko.

Neways , went to catch a show today….havent been to the movies in ages. the last show i watch was " The Chronicles of Narnia" - how long ago was that?? go figure…

So was considering either watch " CARS "( YEAH YEAH ) or " R.V " ( Yuppers ) - but by the time we got there…erm we decided on " STAY ALIVE " - a lil hesitation from me coz you guys know me…and so you would know that i am not horror flick fan. i think the movie "Constantine" was scary…although Keanu made it all seem alright….hmmm and even the anime  " Spirited Away " - i find it a tad disturbing . DONT watch Korean or Japanese Horror Flick - except for  " KAKASHI " - which was like a couple of years back. I watched in with my friend Lenny in IOI Mall , Puchong.The show wasnt scary and can tell it was fake but get this . the cinema we went to was a HUGE room and it was EMPTY - except for a young couple sitting by the side and i am pretty sure they werent there for the movie *wink* *wink * -Anyway the show or rather the cinema scared the hell out of me -neways that was a whole different story  so back to  " STAY ALIVE " .

Must admit , i was scared of watchin the movie. i know i know i should grow up but eh…to me it was scary. The story was about how this bunch of kids played this game called " STAY ALIVE " (note to self : stay away from any com or ps )- and one by one they die - the exact same way the die in the game - horror. terror. It was all because of this lady that died AGES AGO - Countess Elizabeth Bathory . - ok ok..dont wanna give away the story coz some of ya might wanna go watch it and you guys prolly dont think it was as scary.

Although some gruesome scenes were censored ( DUH! ) - i still closed my eyes. hahahaha…At one point i just needed to go to the loo. hehehe

Halfway thru the show - i was trying to guess the ending. Coz usually any horror show would have a logical explanation to it - i was guessing A or B. But to be honest , the ending was a lil disappointing.

The only plus point would be , i get to watch Shopia Bush ( OneTreeHill ) as a goth chick ~ October - Samairie Armstrong ( The OC ) as Abigial and Frankie Muniz ( Malcolm in the Middle ) as Swink - his typical stereotype character.

So now im kinda intrigued with the character - Countess Elizabeth Bathory - found a couple of website about her.Seriously not exactly the kindest Countess .Check it out Elizabeth Bathory - The Blood Countess

Neways if you guys ever watch the show " STAY ALIVE " let me know how it went - kay

On Monday - 26th June 2006 - 260626

My bestest friend in the whole wide world is leaving ….

She has her bags packed and leaving Good Ol’ Malaysia.Migrating.

Yes..yes..where to ? To the country Down Under - The Land of Kangaroos & Koalas - Australia. 4..maybe 5 hours away .

And with her , she is bringing her baby girl - my darling Charlotte .

Will miss them loads. Both…Christine & Charlotte.

So im dedicating this page especially to her…

Christine ,

Gonna miss you loads. Gonna miss you much. Sigh. Dont know what i am ever gonna do without you here.Will miss having you around and listen to me yack.Or hanging out together and chat over coffees . Or trying out new cafes or restaurants . Or going shopping.Or gossip with .Or bitch about things and other people…. Well…the list could go on…and on..

Sorry if i have ever said or done anything that might have hurt you. Sorry when at times you need me and i’m not there.

But thank you for always being my friend and always being there.I know when you read this you’re prolly already in Melbourne - I am sorry that im not gonna/didnt send you off on Monday. I am an emotional wreck these days and i dont think i would be able to control my tears. I do not want to be there bawling my eyes out with your dad.hehehe Gosh,if you recall, i even cried when you first told me that you’re migrating. Even as i am typing these,im close to tears.

Your not just a friend i met 8 years ago but you’re also practically a sister to me. heck..you are my sister.

You know that i wasnt too keen with this idea but i know that this is for the best. Always remember that. Going Down Under - starting a brand new life (eh..without me somemore..sigh) - making brand new friends ( i do expect you to intro to me some nice kweilos..ok ) . I do expect you to return all my mails and msg-es and calls! I do expect to be updated on Charlotte’s progress. i am soo gonna miss that girl.

I hope this qoute makes sense to you , girl.

CHANTAL KREVIAZUK

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"
I’m … I’m …

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could  die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I’m …

There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I’ll tell you now, they don’t mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times that I won’t have to say …

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go

‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I’m leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

Sunday - 18th June 2006

Been waiting for ages to attend this event.

Amway’s 30th Birthday.

I know you guys are prolly thinking…" Oh No….Debbie’s into those direct sales thingy too…arrghhh - Note ; Avoid any event or gatherin with Debbie " -

Before you guys panicked , rest assured that i have no intention of approaching any of you to be my downline. I am not an active member so to speak. I am a member solely for my own benefit. I use some of their products and i consume some health supplement …thats about it.

Anyway , under any normal circumstances , you would not caught me attending any sort of seminar such as these. Why ?

First - loads of people there. crowded.cramped.

Second - dont really fancy going to crowded places

But this was different , i was inform Wang Lee Hom will be performing!!!!!!

yeah yeah..i know…seldom listen to Debbie expressing any interest at all in chinese song - why the sudden interest in a Chinese Artist ?

Well - actually i do enjoy listening to chinese songs its just that i prefer English to chinese.

Second - i do buy chinese cd but most of the time i am not sure what i am looking at or for . Ok ok..i admit i no no chinese lor…sigh

Third - Chinese songs are very difficult to sing-a-long to….sigh…

ok ok…so the event wasnt that bad. except for the weather. it was pouring in the afternoon when we first arrived. mind you, we have great seats , right out on the field infront of the stage but due to the rain , the heat was horrible! Before the main event started - we were soaked. Oh yeah , i went with Julie & Ai Leng. And there were many more of our friends and people we know there as well.

Neways , there were indeed a HUGE crowd. A few local acts were performing.

You have Jaclyn Victor and Daniel - The Malaysia Idols . An indonesia diva - Ruth ( something…cant recall ) . The performances started at like 4 30pm. And way into the night.

The show was pretty good. The opening ceremony was done with a girl attached to a giant Amway Balloon and was dancing in the air. The fireworks was great!We all did the Wave. Giant balloons passed among the crowds sitting in the normal seating .

Cut long event short - Wang Lee Hom finally performed. Around close to 12 am. I know i know. HE was the reason i went. HE was the ONLY reason i went. And i have made it very clear from the beginning

By the time he performed , Julie , Ai Leng & I had already moved from our seat and was hanging around next to the stage. It was loud. It was hot. It was crowded.People shouting.People jumping.Me shouting and jumping. People singing along. Me ? Sing ??hahaha besides his first opening act which was an english song by Elton John - and the chorus to his " Forever Love " cant sing any other songs even if my life depended on it. hahahaha

But i tell ya , it was worth it. I couldnt get any   shots of him due to the lights and it was already dark. Managed to only capture a few shots from the big screen.

But im telling ya…it was worth it. Loads happened. Like we bought beef burgers instead of chicken and that a bottle of 500ml mineral water cost RM2.

Was already close to 2 am when i reach home. Sweaty. Tired.Throat was aching.Leg was sore.Hungry.Sleepy.Dizzy.Sigh.

Jumped in the shower.Washed my hair. Gosh that felt soooo good. Didnt hit the sack until it was around 4 am. sigh

It was indeed an experience.

Note to self - should try attending more concerts. If possible - look for indoor stadium concerts. hehehe

"Walking Away" - Craig David 

I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away

sometimes some people get me wrong
when it’s something I’ve said or done
sometimes you feel there is no fun
that’s why you turn and run
but now I truly realise
some people don’t wanna compromise
well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
and well I don’t wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I’m sorry to say lady

I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away

Well I’m so tired baby
things you say you’re driving me away
whispers in the powder room baby
don’t listen to the games they play
girl I thought you’d realise
I’m not like them other guys
coz I saw them with my own eyes
you should’ve been more wise
and well I don’t wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I’m sorry to say lady

I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away
