Carissa Sammy

Went to Miri 3 days prior to Chinese New Year since we’ll be celebrating this new year with a reunion with relatives from mummy’s side of the family.

Went to airport early morning with mummy and Jessica cause Daddy’s went earlier since he was on traveling for work purposes and Chae would only go a day before CNY due to work. I have tons of pictures in my camera but I left it all in Kuching thus these pictures here are taken from YingYing’s(yes my cousin with the same chinese name as me) DSLR.

Arrived in Miri at 9am in the morning and went straight to breakfast with my uncle, his family and some aunties. The food was good but I already ate so much in the plane and breakfast at home thus I did not have anymore food. Teehee! Must fit into cheongsam that’s why cannot eat so much!

Went to watch a movie with the cousins on the first day we arrived and then dinner at night. It was really rest and relax on the first day here.

On the second day, the uncles took us to visit their fruit farm.

Such gorgeous day out

With the cousins

And my favourite mischievous nephew

He was obsess with taking pictures! So cute!

Oh and my monkey-ed uncle who can climb all the way up without a ladder and such! So champion! I tried but so failed! I look like I was stuck sticking on the tree! -_-!! So cannot show you the picture! Haahaa!

The spot where it was cooling and protected from the hot sun. I had to wear my cousin’s clothes cos the ones I brought were all pretty ones! Thanks Zhen!

See his mischievous grin!

And he so poser okay! Haahaa!

Dad drove the land cruiser and uncle drove the other car.

Till next time!

Happy Happy New Year 2010!

It’s been ages since I’ve blogged and there’s only one reason why. I forgot the site where I could log into my blog. -_-!! I know!! Teehee! But I saved my site in my laptop and the computer at home doesn’t have the saved site.

Anyhoo, year 2009 has been a tough year with many many many trials coming along my way and a few times I’ve been so weak that I’ve almost give in to the frailty and give up.

Still, I am thankful for the family; my family who never fail to catch me when I fall, to encourage and to love me despite my imperfection. I am evermore grateful to have such amazing parents who holds my hand and help carry me when I can no longer stand on my own. And sisters. Who means the world to me.

Friends; those real ones who calls and check up on me. Those who are always there who actually listens and cares. The ones who accepts me; flaws and all. The one who sees strength and courage in me when I myself fail to see them. The ones I call angels I never thought I deserve to have.

Failures; my biggest enemy yet year 2009 proves that I was so much associated to it that I no longer fear them. Rising above helps me build character and stand on my two little feet(literally). I am tired and struggling but the difference is that I have hope and I have Him.

God; my strength, my hope, my life. The reason I am here today. I am grateful that He was there in every chapter of my life and He never walked away though I have learn to accept that I may never come to understand the reason why bad things happen to good people. He still stands eternally strong in my life; the past, the present, the future.

2009: The resolution to be more childlike. Done done done. Can’t believe another passed so quickly but childlikeness; believing in things the Father tells me. I do.

2010: New resolution. To rise above every situation, keeping Joy in my heart.

Philippians 4: 4 – 8:

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

May u have an amazing year ahead of you filled with much blessings. joy and love!

To my dearest baby in the whole wide world!

Happy sweet sixteen birthday!

I want to thank you for being the sweetest lil sister ever!

For being Chae’s hubby and watching out for her and me

For being my faithful follower since your birth even up till today

For all the joy and happiness you brought in our lives

For many more lessons you taught us when we least expect it

For being so strong and wise during the weakest moment and rising above when we all need you

For holding on even when you want to cry and try to keep your feelings inside you because you don’t want to bother any of us(you don’t have to do that anymore okay?)

For always wanting to make life so much more fun by going to places and create memories that will last forever!

Baby, as you turn 16 on this very special day

Know that Chae and I love you so much; and daddy and mummy cherishes u to the core

You are our baby; always have been, always will be

And no matter how big or tall you grow, in our eyes, you are forever our little sweetie pie

And even when life gives you lemons, know that you can ALWAYS ALWAYS count on us to be here for you; that I am always and forever here for you

Our bond baby, is made for life

I love you so very much girl. I don’t cannot imagine my life without you. Of how you teach me about being foodaholic, or when you are so hurt by people around and yet you still learn to trust, or how you wrote and essay about me influencing you but in the end it ministered to me instead and how despite everything else, you choose to rise above. I truly cannot believe you are taller than me, and that you are growing up far too soon! But I am glad that now, we can talk about life and share everything making our bond as sisters the purest and strongest ever! I am glad we can go shopping together, that we can dress up and talk about issues that are in our hearts. I am so happy that we can sit down and cry together, hug each other, reassure that we will always be by each others side and grow up, face life together! I truly want to be there for your sweet sixteen! I am so sorry I cannot make it but when I come back, I’m bringing you on a date okay?!

Have the best birthday ever and smile baby, because you deserve all the joy in the world!

Thank you for being the best of the best! No one can ever take your place as my darling little sister.

I love you.

Love always,

Ying Ying
