Last Saturday was the long waited moment - it’s Pernec’s Family Day 2008 It’s also my 1st time ever attending the company’s family day, since I only join the company last July This year, the family day was held in Desa Waterpark, Kuala Lumpur.

I went off to the event place as early as 6:45 am - see how excited I was? lol But the event only started around 9.00 am. But I can’t really have fun yet, cause I need to help out for the kids’ activities But it was cool too since the children were all so cute, lol.

The about 12.00 pm+, the adults’ activities started. And I decided to join in! It’s been soooooo long since I last join any sport related activities~ The 1st event that I entered was called ‘wet commuter race’ (or something like that, lol). But our team only managed to get the 4th place - which was also the last place, lmao

And then, I decided to join the next activity, which was called ‘tarzan in town’. It requires you to hold on to the rope while jumping from one tube to another… like the picture below;

Ahem, guess what? Our team won the first place! Yay! But just make sure you have a strong arm muscles to do this. Because I don’t - and right after my turn, my arms were shaking and a few hours later, it hurts sooo badly, for a few days! tsk! But honestly, I loved it!

I’m so happy I was able to actually do and finish race Winning it is a big bonus …because at 1st, I even thought of quitting the race, seeing how hard it looks I’m glad I decided to just go and give it a try

The official event ended at 2.00 pm. But we can still stay there until 6.00 pm. So there I was, together with kak Nor, kak Sahiyah, As & kak Ju, playing our hearts out - swimming, splashing here, there, and everywhere in the park, hehe.

It started raining at about 4.00 pm, so that’s when we decided to go back home. Overall, it was really fun and great… and I enjoyed it very much

It’s an old song (well, not that old, and not that new as well ), sang by Jordin Sparks. I love the lyrics + music + Jordin’s voice in that song.

Somehow the lyrics touches my heart and reminded me of a small fragment of my past - which is about being hurt but still going strong for the loved ones. But after a while, I realized that I wasn’t that strong enough I decided to pull myself back and be gone forever. Some people might say giving up is just an action of weakness. But have you ever thought of it as giving in for the good. I think of it that way. Good for myself, good for the other as well. I must admit, I’m a very sentimental and sensitive kind of person

Sometimes you just can’t get everything you wanted. You need to let go of something to earn something much more important in life But many people don’t earn it because they are too busy grieving on things they have lost or too busy trying hard to earn or be part of something they don’t belong. Well… I used to be one of them.

But letting go isn’t that easy to do. It takes a lot of inner strength, courage and love in able to do so. I found this very lovely poem about ‘letting go’;

How to overcome the heart ache? All you need is some patience and a little effort to let go of that fragment of past. Move on. And then, time will heal everything. That’s all ;)

It was sad, really When it’s only a step away from the gold medal. So far, Malaysia haven’t won any gold medal yet for the Beijing Olympics (!!!!!) We all were soooo happy to know he made it to the final game. I can say, he was one of our highest hope. Well, at least he earned Malaysia our first medal

But then, I really don’t blame him. I can feel the tense he’s going through… with all the opponent’s fans’ screaming, you can see the tense building up and his spirit going down (even though Chong Wei claimed that it’s not an excuse). Everything doesn’t seem right that night. Putting me in his place, I think I could even faint… lol.

Lee Chong Wei (left) and Lin Dan during their last ‘battle’

BEIJING: Lee Chong Wei won the silver medal in the badminton men’s singles after losing in the final to China’s Lin Dan 12-21, 8-21.

The world No 2 lost in two straight sets, faltering to Lin Dan, who remains the top men’s singles shuttler in the world.

In previous clashes between the two, Lin Dan had won nine times while Chong Wei had won five times.

The last time a Malaysian shuttler won a medal at the Olympics was in Atlanta in 1996 when Rashid Sidek took the bronze in the men’s singles and Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock won the silver for the men’s doubles.

Rashid’s brothers Razif and Jailani won Malaysia’s first Olympic medal in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992 when they won a bronze in the men’s doubles.

Chong Wei got to the final by beating South Korean Lee Hyun-il, 21-18, 13-21, 21-13, while Lin Dan defeated fellow countryman Chen Jin in the semi-final, 21-12 , 21-18.

Despite failing to get the gold medal, Chong Wei is set to obtain RM300,000 from the Government for winning the silver medal. The Government had promised RM1mil as an incentive to any athlete who returns with an Olympic gold medal; RM300,000 for silver and RM100,000 for bronze.

I hope Chong Wei will never give up… And by time, with help from his great coach - Misbun Sidek, he’ll improve more, and will be able to become world’s #1! Go Chong Wei… you’re our hero! (forgive me for being over-emotional, haha)

After the hard work and preparation, the event went very well last Sunday, 10th August 2008. Everyone was having fun… that was the great part. Syukur Alhamdulillah…!

Most artist won’t care much about what’s going on before the event, they only care to get involved in the ‘fun part’ only. Heh. But being a special person as he has always been, he always try to give his best effort to get involve and help us before and throughout the event. I sincerely hope he’ll stay as humble as he is now, no matter what

I’ll blog about it soon, cause I’m still waiting for more photos during the event

I haven’t blog for weeks. Slap me. Haha. *long pause* I seriously don’t know what to write. This time, it’s not because I have nothing to share, but I have too many to share that I don’t know where to start, lol So I’ll just start with what’s coming up

This coming weekend is going to be fun. On Saturday, I have 2 of my friends’ weddings to attend. I MUST attend them simply because both are my close friends from my school & matriculation time - Ellina & Aween. And it’s the time I’ll get to meet most of my old friends

And on Sunday, I’ll be helping out with the Bowling Tournament held by Diddy FC. The tournament attracts a lot of sponsors - BHPetrol, Digi Superstar, F-Tersix, Era FM, Hot FM, Suria FM, Astro, Clinique, Sultan Muzaffar, MurahDotCom & BookBinders. There’s also Media Hiburan as the official media. So many eh? Those who participte are going to love it But although if you’re not one of the participants, please don’t hesitate to join us, because there’ll be performances from Diddy and other singers too. I’m so looking forward for this event. Hopefully things will go on smoothly and everyone will have so much fun!

This week has been soooo stressful actually, but I really don’t want to talk or think about it much. So, I’ll just skip those not-fun stuff eh? Haha. Will blog more later And I truly promise I’ll return all your lovely comments asap yeah? *hugs*
