Finally got mom’s card – though it was torn.
Don’t know if someone just ripped thru mails without looking or it was “damaged” during delivery.
Took a while to get here – two weeks!

My schweeeeeet room after fixing up my desk, clearing clutter and moving a few things around. Now I can watch TV in bed.
It didn’t come easy, seeing I’m fickle minded and have only two hands to fix everything up.
*ahem*
The picture above is after everything was done – the end result. Coming up are just a few pictures from yesterday when I was putting my desk together.

Roasted duck rice from ThaiHouse – a little treat after a “hard day’s work” of fixing my desk up.
Like the place mat? I know you can’t see it clearly but I finally got to use it – properly. Prior to this, I had it up on my wall like a picture.
Mom got it from Target when they had the “Owl love you” collection for Valentine’s Day (it’s a pink owl mat).

That was what comes up the most when you do an internet search of Hwa Yi-Jien.
I’ve heard of the news where he went missing last year from friends back home because it came out in TheStar (Malaysian man missing in US park) – read the blogs/news and also prayed, though I didn’t keep up with the progress after that.
Why I’ve thought about it suddenly is because SayChin posted some old school pictures and people were being tagged on the class photo we took in 1998.
Did a search to see if they ever found him – and that was what came up, “Lost, Never Found.”
They say it’s not hard to die in Glacier National Park but Yi-Jien just “disappeared”. Out of 231 “deaths” reported, about 6 were recorded as “lost, never found.”
Looking back, it’s sad that we never really got to know him. I read the articles/blogs and when their description of him made me go, “Hmmm…I didn’t remember him as that” – there is also a mixture of guilt/shame/sadness because I know for myself, that I never took time to be friends with him.
He joined us in the last leg of our secondary education, which by then everyone had their own cliques/friends. I remember him as being tall (school shirt a bit too short for him, trousers as well – and it wasn’t “cool” to have your trousers end at your ankles like how his did), being somewhat “defiant” in PA classes by sometimes sleeping through it (because he dropped the subject to take Bible Knowledge for SPM), sitting right in front of the teacher’s desk because no one wanted it (and he joined us when everyone had bagged their seats).
He didn’t care (I think – that’s the impression I get from him) of what we thought of him, if someone made fun of him, he shrugs it off (was he ever angry? I don’t remember)…maybe the only one who ever made any effort to be friends with him was FoongKeaw.
With him missing, there is no real closure for his mother and wife.
Mind you, even I feel like I need a closure. I can only say that God’s plan surpasses all our understanding.

Remember the courier pack that arrived two weeks ago?
This is what was in it – a present from LiMay. This photo does it no justice – looks much nicer in real life.
Thanks, LiMay!
100% silk!
This may very well be my first 100% silk item, I think.
