Hello there, Stranger!
Welcome to my humble little blog.

The name's Tammie, but friends call me Tam (not 'thumb').

Who am I, you ask?
I'm not that smart top-scorer girl in your class.
I'm not that pretty lass you always see on the streets either.
I am passionate, stubborn and emotional.
My absolute most favorite thing to do is hanging out with people I care & love.
My passion burns for Jesus & photography.
I wish to travel more and see more.

This blog was created so I get to jot down my feelings.
Happenings in life.
That is, if I'm not too lazy to update ;)

Chinese New Year during childhood.

To me, who I'm with can change how I feel about a place.


But... If I really have to name a place.. It would be Bukit Tinggi. THE WEATHER IS just awesome. Do you know the sky looks bluer there? And the clouds looks extra puffy! Puffeh clouds, puffeh clouds, my favorite thing to see in the sky :D
The grass are greener, literally greener. The wind is cooling. The air is FRESH! MWAH! I love it there.

So all you people who wants to come visit this subarashi place, come! Before global warming happens and make Bukit Tinggi as hot as Melaka or any other place in Malaysia D:

Also, can we like, help stop global warming.. let's start by not using Styrofoam and stop using any plastic bags,walk more, use less air con...?

'cause if not.. my little piece of heaven on earth will be gone soon T___T
Please?

I keep thinking of the first day in UTAR as my first.


It's amazing how firsts always seems like the best memories around.

It's been 3, almost 4 months I've gotten to know yew and teng and I can't complain. Even though UTAR doesn't have the best facilities in the world, but having the right friends with you certainly help balance it out ;)
So far, I love the learning experience here :)

Death of loved ones makes me cry. Really bad.

I cried at Ah kong's funeral. Really bad.
I don't think I've cried so bad in frount of so many people before..

Dead pets make me cry too. I once had a couple of Guppie fishs. I was cleaning their tank when one of the fish jumped out of the tank, committing suiside. That kind of shocked me and as a result I cried. lol. Not because I was emotionally attached to my pet. HAHAHA.

So that's all for today.. I shall continue tomorrow.

It was 1997. I was 7 years old.

I remember being woke up by my parents. They were calling me to wake up. But I was still sleepy. I opened my eyes slightly and realized it was morning already.

As I rubbed sleep off my eyes, I finally heard what my parents were making a fuss about.


I was FULLY awake by then. I rushed to my bedroom window, pushed away the curtain and sure enough, the once green ground is now covered in pure white pretty clean snow. Do you know how beautiful untouched snow looks like from the 2nd floor?
It looks like God placed a white blanket on top of the ground.


That was the moment I saw snow for the first time in my life.

Oh, me and my family was in US then.
It was the first day of winter snow, and our family (being typical Asians all of our lives) had been waiting for this day (counting down to the first snow) since we stepped foot on American soil ;)

I guess this is another moment in my life. I remember holding my breath and just soaking in the glory and beauty of it all.

Me and my brother gladly finished our breakfast quickly and put on 3 layers compromising of sweaters, coat and jacket and we raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan outside to play with real snow for the first time ever.

I was sitting at my desk doing my homework.

The bell just rang, recess was over.

You came walking in the classroom. I can see you were in a good mood. You were smiling and joking.

You saw me sitting there. I smiled. You smiled. We both knew you're in a playful mood.

Then you suddenly started walking fast.
I didn't think so much, so I turned back to face my homework.

The next moment when I looked up, I saw your face sweeping down on me like an eagle sweeping down on it's pray. It was so fast that I didn't have time to react.

I guess you were shocked too,because you quickly pulled away. Yeah, I blushed but I didn't think much of it afterwards, because you were always teasing me like that.

I got a text message from you after school. You apologized for being so playful, you said you went over the line.

I guess you can say I was even more shocked, I didn't expect you to apologize, because you didn't do anything very wrong to me.. but the fact that you apologized made me replay the scene in my mind again. It made me realized how close our faces came O.o''

This memory stayed with me all the time. Maybe it's not the ideal 'favorite' memory for people, but it was definitely the most memorable for me.

So, yeah, my fellow blog readers may get a little confused reading this post, but that's the whole point. lol.

Even though I've nothing to blog about on this title, it makes me remember a quote:

No self-praise intended here.. just kind of my motto in relationships.

I used to write these little stories, you know? Something like short stories.
And there're always about love, boy-girl relationships.

Well, so I started dreaming of being famous for writing novels, like my favorite authors Nicholas Sparks and Mag Cabot. I was only 14 then.

Later, I found out that my vocabulary is only limited to words like 'awesome' and 'amazinggg' so I kinda gave up that dream.

But then, I fell in love. And from then on, my dream was changed.




My dream would sound a little far fetched... but.. I want to be a world renowned photographer.

My mum asked me first thing when she saw me on Facebook today 'How was it like being a BIG SISTER for your cousins this week?'
 He's another funny face maker.

Jared loves watching disturbing cartoons. He influenced me to like watching The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack


So back to the topic. This week, I cooked lunch for them. Which was better then cooking lunch at home, because their kitchen is so nais. lol.

I still dunno why I choose to buy a blue & white strip bag. It's mainly because of its size I believe.
I wanted a huge bag, so I can carry my camera with me all the time. I also like the beach-y feeling the bag gives. heh.

The camera is the most important object in my bag. Also the most expensive. I always take out the battery when I'm not using it, to make sure the battery doesn't drain.

My purse was given to me by mum. Well, actually I took it because mum never used it. I was like 'Ma, I need a new purse, can we go buy one? Oh, wait... you're not using this are you?' and it became mine form then on XD

RM10 was out of my purse because I didn't bother to put it inside after I took it out. lol. I'm that lazy. ha.

My house key chain is of a wooden doll that looks like a voodoo doll. The key chain was one of my (16th year old? *forgotten*) birthday present.

Nixsoderm is like the best cream around. You can use it for scratches, light burn, mosquito bite, and pimples. It's so amazinggggg. Even though it stinks. yeah. lol.

I wasn't aware of this before, but after seeing what's inside my bag, I realized that I'm quite a clean freak..*gasps*

I'm sure I talked a lot about my siblings in my blog.. like the 12 year difference between my little sister and me, and my annoying brother.

So, I shall blog about their personality this time.

My brother, Kevin and I are 4 years apart. He used to be seriously cute when he was a baby. Chubby cheeks, cute face, dimpled smile.
But adolescent is a monster to Kevin. Ever since he hit 13, he's become emo boy. Not just emo, he's a freakin poser too.

I can't believe this is all I'm going to blog about today =.=''

I've been a Christian all my life.

But my parents have not.

My dad was a teen when he started going to church. My grandpa was so angry when he found out that he drag my dad and threatened to scold the pastor in church. But my grandpa never got to scold the pastor that day because he couldn't find that church. My dad said a large lorry was blocking the church, so grandpa couldn't find it.
I believe that wasn't a coincidence.

Usually, people, especially Asians, think that Christianity is a 'Western religion'.
Actually, to be precise, Jesus was born in Jerusalem, Israel. Israel is Middle East. Middle. Not East, not West :)
It's just that most white people are Christians. But I wouldn't bet on that now. Most white people these days prefer not to have a religion.
Believing in Him doesn't mean I give up my culture and my roots. I still celebrate Chinese New Year. I still eat with chopsticks. I still have a Chinese name :)

I remember a moment.
It was when I was still a little girl. I can't really remember how old am I. But I was small.

I remember my dad playing the guitar. He was singing a song, and I was just bobbing my head along with him, reading the lyrics form his lyric book.

I've never heard the song before but still I sang it like I knew it.

At first, it was just like any other song for me. But as I keep singing and the more I sang the more I begin to like that song.
At that moment, I guess I fell in love with music. Or more precisely, understand the beauty of music.

By the time me and dad finish singing 'On Top of The World' I was asking him to play and sing the song again and again.

Well, that's my moment.
teehee.

I woke up around 6am today. lol. Why?
Because I wanted to eat the toast bread mum made for Kev & Rach as breakfast. It was so niceeeeeeee because mum put honey on top of the toast and I ate 3 yummy toast bread with my eyes half open and mind still in lala land.



BUT I am positively sure I ate toast bread and it was like heaven :D

After the 3rd toast bread I walked like a zombie back to my bed and *plop* back to sleep.

The next time I opened my eyes is because the house phone was ringing like mad.


So I stumbled out of bed, but just as I took the phone and said 'Hello?'
The line went dead. Yeah, DEAD. Thanks for the wake up call.

I knew it was mum calling, so I called her back. I was still blur as I just woke up.
Mum told me I don't have to cook because her school is having a party of some sort.

I literally shouted 'YEAH!' By then I am totally awake :D

So I end up watching Bones on pps for the rest of the morning. heehee.
