reminscing.

danica, aaron, david & donny - 1998

yesterday was malaysian national day, and so i felt very patriotic (MALAYSIA BOLEH!). today is my cousin david's birthday, and so i'm currently in the mood to reminisce over my childhood days spent in malaysia, hanging out with david yeoh. some quick (and embarassing) memories:

• i wanted to marry david when i was four years old - then they told me you couldnt marry your cousin and i was shattered.


• i remember playing that spy game on the holidays at poh poh's house with david, aaron & donny.


• i remember watching the emperor's new groove with david - it was our favourite movie.


• we used to watch dragon ball z

on a completely different note, i had a wonderful day today =) i woke up this morning and thought, "i'm going to have a good day no matter what happens" and it turned out to be wonderful! school did drag on a bit, my piano student was restless after school, and i had a mountain of homework, but at the end of it all, it was a great day!

worked through some stuff with some friend(s). rekindled old friendships. smiled and laughed to myself =) the simple things in life, we always seem to forget them. God is so good, and just because a miracle happens often, does that mean it's not a miracle? just because the sun shines 24/7, is that no reason to thank God for his awesome creation of the sun, without which we wouldn't exist? of course not! he is so awesome.

xoxo.
