Flying without wings

Guess wat i did today??it's over 12am now..so it was yesterday
i flew like a bird...aahhh...the view...
everything seem so tiny below...the sea seemed so still..
i felt peace & serenity for the first time after Nov 26...
for a moment i tot i was Nathan Petrelli

LOL

okayyy it's lame....
but it was an experience for a first-timer like me la
Thanks to Francis...

well i was excited as we were reaching the beach..
n after they tied us to the parachute, i started to feel scared..
felt like i was gonna pee in my pants...
ofcoz i din say anything to francis who was behind me...
had to act brave mer... cannot afford to chicken out at the very last moment...
we were told to run when the boat start pulling
And so the speed boat started pulling, n we had to run...
and i started screaming...damn!!!
just 3 steps n we were high up in the sky...
phewww....n i wasn't scared AT ALL....nyek nyek..
the landing was rough though as there were quite a number of ppl at the beach...
n we landed on our buttocks... hehe...ouch!!
The only regret is no one to take pic of us on de parachute..aikss..


I just LOVE the beach....
i dun mind going to the beach every evening...
if only i can...
Going to the beach makes me feel like i'm on a holiday in Bali
n sorta reminded me again dat i'm living on an island...
okayyy, i knoww...DUH!!!
welll ofcoz in penang u have to imagine that the water is crystal clear n the golden sands..
u wun wanna know the true colour of the water... just believe that its crystal clear la..
never knew i wud actually fall in love with penang beaches...
after kutuk-ing them for years..
i wanna go to the beach again b4 i go back to the concrete jungle!!!

Life is short

7 DEC, PENANG : A college student died while his friend was seriously injured when their car broke into two after crashing into a tree in Macalister Road yesterday. Justin Khoo, 21, died minutes after firemen extricated him from the wrecked of his car at about 4am. -STAR NEWS-


Just the day b4, i was sleeping soundly when my Hp rang.
n yeah, ofcoz it woke me up from my dream...have been dreaming every nite eversince 26 Nov and sleeping like nobody's business...Somebody save me!!( to the tune of Smallwille song) hehe... ok enuff of dat..

now back to serious business...
and so i picked up the call n it was Pheng.

She went " JOLIIINNNN, DO U KNOW WAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING??!!!"

"ermmm....no..wat happen??" I was trying to figure out wats de urgency to call me in de middle of my sleep...

" REMEMBER JUSTIN KHOO?? HE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THIS MORNING AND HAD PASSED AWAY!! THIS IS JUST TOO SHOCKING!!"

"Oh my...."I went speechless and was 100% wide awake by then...
Note the capital lettters n imagine how Pheng sounded.

I was extrememly shocked to receive the news. Not that i'm close to Justin but de fact that he is someone i knew, i somehow felt a loss. It was just too sudden n certainly too much for a person to grasp. Just imagine how his family n close frens wud react.

My condolences to Justin's family...


Life is short...There is still so much that each of us wanna do or achieve in life.

Dreams.

Goals.

Degree.

Marriage.

Travel.

Children.

Friends.

Family.


"not enough time la!" A very common cliche.
But do we really realize that we seriously do not have enuff time to achieve every dream and goals in life??? Anything can happen tmr n we'll never know. even end times.

We always say " i'll do it tmr la"
U know wat? if we keep procrastinating, tmr will never come.

Start realising ur dreams today.

Live a life without regrets.

Don't do sth that one day, u'll say to urself " i shouldn't have done dat"

"if only i can change that decision"

by that time, it's a lil too late. dun u tink?


my question today is

Do u know wat is ur life purpose?

if u dun, i suggest u start tinking about it from today.
wat are u living for??? money? career? ur partner?
or watever that is gonna happen tmr la?
I once wrote in my vision statement
that i want to make a difference in the lives of the people around me.
Have i been an impact to the people around me?
i've been tinking a lot to myself.
i have no idea. perhaps not much. =p
Well, one thing for sure is dat i'll start living my life without regrets.
Making differences in people's life.
Bringing smile and laughter.
That one day if i ever leave this world, people will testify
"She made me smile"
"yeah i remember Jolin"
"She has lived a meaningful life and life to the fullest"
Much have been said, i hope i will not disappoint myself n the people around me la.
This post will serve as a reminder to me of how i wanna live my life.
With love,
~jo~

From the bottom of my heart...

Cherished Friends
God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes,
Or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship,
Unselfish... lasting... true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With cherished friends... like you!
- Author Unknown -
This little poem i specially dedicated to those who stood by my side
when i tot my world has crumbled not too long ago...
thank you my friends
for the
comforting words i just needed to hear,
sharing the hurt, anger & the tears in me
assurance that there's still trust & hope out there
concern & guidance you gave to me
many times you tried to put back the pieces of my heart
the times i just needed a shoulder to cry on & ears to listen to my sorrows,
You guys were there...
A million thanks!!!Love u guys always =]
And i promise that i will be stronger than before and start everything fresh...
not going to linger on the past
because vengeance belongs to God
yeah!! aja aja fighting!!!
To Wei lynn & Pheng,
Thank you for being the very firsts to listen to my *sob sob* in the wee hours of the morning
and saved me from killing myself [haha...just kidding...no way i'm going to sacrifice myself for that jerk...shud be more than thankful that Jesus was so willing to die for him..]
To Charis,
Thank you for your words
"Just cry your heart out not for him but for yourself...to release your hurt n anger"
To Huey,
Thank you for your cold jokes...wasn't funny but thanks...=p
To Granny[u know who u are rite?],
Thank you for singing to me the whole nite...not bad except when u hav to go high..haha...at least u achieved your aim ie to make me laugh...hehe
To Francis,
Thank you for everything... =] and cracking some joke when i was spilling out my anger
JoLin : Rmb that black guy from Heroes who could erase memories?
Francis : y? He(dat jerk) look like him?
JoLin : lol. wat i'm trying to say is, if i've his power, i want to erase every single
memory about dat jerk for the past 3 years...
and i had to laugh in de midst of my anger

iceberg? spielberg?

hey!!!
Watched Hitman just awhile ago. it was worth my Rm8 and i must say dat 47 was hot!!!
he's so 'yeng' in every way.the way he look in his black coat. his shaved head.his body.him being so cool n serious all the time. even when he kills. hehe...
Go watch for those who haven't. Short but worth watching - the action n ofcoz no.47.=p
Anyway, a friend sent an award winning joke in UK to me.
Here it is :
O ne Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says 'You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here.' The astonished Chinese man replied 'It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese'. 'Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same,' replied Spielberg. I n return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says 'You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship.' Shocked, Spielberg replies 'It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me.'The Chinese replies, 'Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same.'
