Semester Break!

Coming to the end of semester break, there's a mix feeling of distress leaving home and excitement of a new semester opening. New semester means more challenges be it in academic or in managing life, something which i need to encounter but not sure of its process and outcome, hopefully not something discouraging.

Looking at my two-month semester break there is no less activities. Joining NVC trip in the first two weeks was another good experience to me. Being a senior who mainly supervised junior's work and did a little help out, there was less physical exhaustion but more responsibility was required. In all it's an exciting trip visiting places for the first time.

(Tip of Borneo, the northest point in Borneo, located at Kudat, Sabah)

After the trip i went back to Sibu, as usual, i needed time to hibernate and get use to the 'new' surrounding. So i hibernated for one week and a half or two, with my minds drifting aimlessly.

Mom's birthday! Right on the first day of Gawai celebration. Me and my dad made a surprise for her, brought her out for dinner that night and presented a cake out from nowhere! Mom said that's her first ever cake since small! I hardly believe it but i think she was really touched. Love ya mom :)


Then the rest of the break became normal. Going out with friends, staying home and watch movies, and most of all, endless sleeping, as if i didn't sleep for the whole semester in KL.

(outing)And watched 3 movies with Edwina, Prince of Persia (very lousy), Karate Kid and Legend of Ip Man (awesome kungFu!!!).

One of the most exciting activities would be swimming. Attended a swimming class for 8 lessons and now i can swim! Hehe but inconsistently, sometimes i remember how to breath while swimming but sometimes not. Hmm...

And attending taekwondo practice. So every evening i was either at the taekwondo gym or at the swimming pool. Healthy huh~ Sorry la for friends who wanted to have dinner with me at night.

Not to forget, Girls' Brigade 40th Anniversary Celebration! As a visitor to GB meetings and all i guess i was more a bystander than a helper. It's a merry and tiresome celebration by the whole company girls and officers. All of them worked tirelessly to prepare for the best for saturday concert and sunday thanksgiving service, all for the Glory of God!

I guess i made more food this time at home =)

(Cheese cake -yi san's recipe. Since our old oven is heated with gas there is a bump on the soft cake... i called it volcano and mom called it nipple=P)

(butter cake -mom's recipe. Baked twice and this is the first butter cake. In the second baking i put excessive raisins and chocolate rice inside and it turned into chocolate cake, but i like it! HEhehe~)

(made californian sushi twice just because we bought a 50-sheet seaweed sheet, gonna make another time b4 going off, guess there are still 35+ sheets left)

(corn flakes cookie, made twice also for the sake of excessive ingredients left, like it a lot=D)

(cheese cake -ST trading's recipe. not very beautiful in its look but very tasty. like it a lot and my bro requested me to make another one but mom rejected saying it's fattish... yes it really is...)

(instant curry paste brought from japan by ingchan)

(and here it is, japanese curry chicken! the taste is awesome! but would be greater if it's a lil bit more spicy =D)

(this one is not made by me, but by mom, like it a lot... rojak!)

(finally, photoshoot my brother, shhh he shouldn see this photo up on the net)
