父亲节快乐！

2011-06-19T23:03:00.002+08:00

子曰：『父母在，不远游；游必有方。』
意指父母在世，不宜到远处；即使远游，要有一定的去处。

身为在外深造的游子，一年在外的时间比在家里头多，见此孔老夫子的金句隔有感触。
父母盼儿回家的心不是常言能解。
所幸今时不同往日，有方便的电话通讯，快速的宽频网络来一解相思之愁。
常有父母远处的叮咛提醒，激起心中多少涟漪。
含蓄的心，仅将它们藏起。
誓以最好的课业个人表现，来日回家一报亲恩。

谨此贺辛劳的父亲，父亲节快乐！

Februari.

February, a month of excitement.

Chinese New Year. Needless to say, a time of relaxation and content at home. The fireworks are awesome this year and i had a great time gaining weight at home.

Kangkar Baru & Yong Peng, Johor. Visit the nice kampong for a day. Ate a lot of local food there, thanks to roommate for her time bringing me around. Have another awesome time gaining weight.

SS2 pasar malam. Went three consequently in two weeks.
-The first time was upon Alan's invitation to his house for a nice big bowl of green bean soup. Yummy.
-The second time was to celebrate Single's (Valentine's) day with my dearest PKV mates.
-The third time, again went with PKV mates and a few new China friends, to celebrate the last day of CNY, Chap Goh Meh (aka Chinese Valentine's Day). On the way walking out, we were trapped in a thunderstorm (or a really really heavy rain). We hid under the shelter at the walkway before we ran into the lobby of Geology fac for (more secure) shelter when the winds got stronger and the trees were shaking frantically and we were half wet. When the thunderstorm were over half approximately an hour later, we saw tilted trees, some snapped off, and a lot of branches on the road. The second morning, i realised the shelter where we stood along the walkway were damaged by broken trees. Lucky we went into Geology building! Thank God! And a number of cars were damaged by broken trees. Poor cars. What exactly can withstand nature fury?

Lost camera. Left it in the taxi going back to UM from the third pasar malam. Ok that was really a happening day. Freaky thunderstorm and devastated camera lost. My fault, my negligence. I only hope the new owner can take care of it nicely and dispose my pictures inside appropriately. Sigh. No more pictures.

The doctrine of churches. Next weekend. Looking forward to it. =)

And of course, lots and lots of assignments. They are time-consuming, brain-hurting and challenging!

Thesis. Want to start writing it but can't. Assignments are blocking the way and i just can't sacrifice my sleep (already heavily sleep-deprived) for the sake of it. I can't sleep three hours and work for the rest 21 hours.

Hmm, i guess that's it for now.

Oh my last post was written on the date of 20 too.

A Hymn

2011-01-20T15:57:00.000+08:00

It is ringing in my head for not just a few days.

On and off, off and on,
the melody, the lyrics, the message,
so beautiful, so ensuring.

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tow'r.
Raise Thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns son,
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

My Lord,
my Saviour,
my Model,
my Direction,
and most of all,
my Father.

Your grace overflows
and never let down
those who seek you.
Be thou my vision,
guide me
to be more like you,
Love,
and love unconditionally.

【我的女友是九尾狐】

2010-12-26T17:37:00.006+08:00

应仲ing之荐，续【一枝梅】之后，看了这出剧。

典型韩剧，三角恋情，仅setting不同。

但此剧有可看之处-简单轻松，不是很复杂的恋爱情节；单纯青春帅气的主角们，还是吸引了偶的眼球。

（天真可爱的九尾狐及主人公车大雄）

（东朱老师，冰冷，帅气，酷毙！）

(后发现东朱老师竟然是以前the trax里的鼓手rose，哇！终于再见到他了，呵呵。这时候的他还真年轻呀！迷～^^）

探偵ガリレオ

2010-12-22T23:34:00.005+08:00

嗯，应该是给龙马传里的福山雅治电了一下，就跑去看『神探伽利略』了。这部电视剧已被搁着许久，本对它没啥兴趣，现在就为了福山去看了看。别于龙马传里不修边幅的造型，福山在『神探』里帅气了许多，在剧中的展现个性、才能，让小女对他目不转睛。=D

剧情还算可以，反正这些推理剧里的人物的脑子就不知是用什么做的，在那一瞬间可以明白并结合所有的证据及原理，把案情真凶找出来。剧情评论不多说，就冲着福山看就对了，呵呵～

大河剧一

2010-12-20T12:42:00.006+08:00

花了一年半，终于把我的第一部大河剧看完了。共48集的【龙马传】，看完时有感慨，即振奋，又沮丧之感。好像每次看完电视剧都有这种无奈的感觉。=/

（剧照一：坂本龍馬，福山雅治饰）

龙马传，讲述幕末时代一位土佐藩下士-坂本龍馬一生33年的事迹。他生性好奇，有着别人没有的思绪，没有着一般武士的蛮悍，反而珍惜生命，主张和平。江户时期，黑船来袭，西方人迫使日本开国贸易。龙马受黑船影响，渐渐开拓视野，虽然加入挚友武市半平太所组，以尊皇攘夷为主要的“土佐勤王党”，但仍对其保持怀疑态度。日后脱藩，成为一介浪人，并拜胜麟太郎为师，极力拓展自己的知识，接受反战，建立海军的想法。其后土佐勤王党被强力瓦解，海军操练所被关闭，促使龙马进一步的成长。龙马等浪人到萨摩替西乡吉之助开船，搬货。到了长崎，被纵横商场的日本与各国商人激发了新的视野，后结成了“龟山社中”，促成萨摩与长洲结盟，成功倒幕，推动大政奉还。最后龙马被刺杀，可谓壮志未酬身先死。

龙马跨时代的创新思想，改变了日本的历史，影响了日本的发展，从一个闭门封建的幕府制度，到明治维新运动，至现在民主的政府，成为了亚洲领先的发展国。

从另一个角度来看，如果他没有因年早逝，日本会有怎样一个情景呢？日本会不会走上军国主义的道路呢？二战的悲剧会不会发生呢？

Kampung Baru Tiram Setia

2010-09-12T11:25:00.018+08:00

Back again we were in Kampung Baru Tiram Setia, Tanjong Karang, Kuala Selangor.

A few new food stalls have been set up behind JKKK (our camp venue), one selling nice 雪花冰, one cooking tasty food.

Kids and kampung people are still the same, riding bicycles and motorbikes everywhere, every time.

We had 48 kids this time, most of them old kids who came for the last camp and there were also some new faces.

The kids' behavior is a lot better this time. The girl who was used to be so rude was no longer 'that' rude, she listened and learnt. The boy, little bumble bee, who could not sit for a second in the class can now sit more than a second, still not paying attention but paid a little, at least.

Parents' were more participative this time, judging from the number of parents attending our opening and closing ceremony.

My group won the best group this time, the kids were so happy, so did i.

The hardest kid in my group, 伟嘉, who did not care much on what was going on throughout the camp and liked to disturb others, was in tears when we were going to leave the kampung, to another teacher who were so closed to him, we cried too. I did not expect him to.

Pray that God will bless the kids. What they learnt during the camp will be planted deep into their heart and will not be moved by the temptations and bad influences that they are doing to encounter. Pray that they will continue being a good child in the family and good student in school. Pray that they will be loved enough, so that their heart will be softened.

Pray also God will bless the families there, especially the adults--parents and grandparents to take care and teach their children well, not having gender bias and too engrossed in their own business.

Pray for Siew Ching who travels from Subang to the Kampung every Saturday to teach English there. Pray for the revival in the kampung by bringing more Christian teachers in.

Thank you Lord for everything, especially throughout the organizing period and the camp--from the fund needed, people, transport, all were settled beautifully in the end. We can't thank you enough =D

NO Monkey allowed!

2010-08-18T15:41:00.004+08:00

Monkey oh Monkeys

You!

Mess around with my table
Give me no good rest when i am alone in the room with windows open
Sneak around outside my window early in every morning
Send an older experienced of your kind to do the attacks

Stole away

My craft benang
My apple
My justea
My peach
My biscuit

and

My precious Chinese stamp given to me by a dearest friend!!!

I HATE you!!!

Bear in mind, this is

Don't mess around with me, i'm not afraid of you!

And don't come when i'm sleeping! Fight one to one like a MAN!!! [except you are not one =( ]

(This is now forever a memory...never took photo of the stamp...sigh...)

Stress

2010-08-18T15:23:00.002+08:00

Never experienced gastric before entering university and didn't believe it got anything to do with stress, always doubted the doctor's opinion, until recently i see the connection...

First time was the very first week i enter uni... stress la leaving home and came to the crappy lauzy college and stupid university and senior pm around you just keep shouting and scolding (my thought that time)

Then a few time more in the previous two years, on and off, when i'm thinking too much and i guess all the negative particles go to my stomach and create trouble.

This time, again, when all the assignments, research, Shakespeare reading are pending and require a lot of time and energy to do...

Restless, stomachache, nausea, bloated stomach, loose cake...

Why, stress, leave me alone!

Prayer

2010-08-14T15:20:00.004+08:00

Praying is not a rule
not something you are obliged to do
not for you to find words to talk to God

but

an attitude
a natural, spirit-filled conversation with God
He doesn't need fancy words
only those from the bottom of your heart counts.

Think.

2010-08-10T22:43:00.003+08:00

Quotes from Ps. Tong that i would like to share:

1. Some people talk a lot but meaningless; some speak a single sentence but full of meaning and insight. most of us speak hundreds thousands of words in our whole life, but some people, like Lao Zi, Confucius, Jesus, talked less, perhaps thousands only, but their words are being passed through generations and still being quoted today.

2. Many pray and worship for objects, not God. Are we praying to want God understand and accomplish our will; or are we praying to understand and accomplish God's will? Understand God, not fulfill only our lust!

3. The spirit of LIE is working around the world. Politics, religion, business, education, science and so many fields are full of lies. Some use the name of God to start a war; some fake their research work; some cheated for power. Are we blinded by the lies around us, ignoring the whisper of truth from the spirit of God?

4. Who is your Father? God or Satan?

Semester 5

2010-08-07T14:15:00.005+08:00

Being in the third year is really like what seniors told us, not easy. I've never had my mind full of stuffs and worries in the very first week of the semester. Academics, emotions, all came about and haunt my dreams. What should i do?

Four weeks have gone with the speed of light and things are still piling up. Keeping a daily schedule is a good way to remind me of my to-do stuffs but i hardly follow it. Procrastination is a big question here.

Ten more weeks to go, short and compressed.

But if i were to put aside headache stuffs i still have some things to remember and smile at, bits of enlightenment at this period of time. Some are shown in pictures below, more in facebook.

(NVC dinner, last event in my batch.)

(Convocation week, a time when UM is crazily crowded, it's very hard to have fresh air down there with the people)

(woan zhao bi ye le!)

Semester Break!

2010-07-07T11:43:00.022+08:00

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 is 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 put in. In all it's an exciting trip by 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 need 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 becomes 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.

(went to see my bro in school uniform camp and i wished his team could retreat asap for less humiliation. most of the commands were wrong, i dunno what's wrong with the commander...result of lack of practice, sigh...)

(outing)

And watched 3 movies with Edwina, Prince of Persia (very lausy), 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 am either at the taekwondo gym or at the swimming pool. Healthy huh~ Sorry la for friends who want to have dinner with me at night, i'm not free.

Not to forget, Girls' Brigade 40th Anniversary Celebration! Being 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 works tirelessly to prepare for the best for saturday concert and sunday thanksgiving service, all for the Glory of God!

(the big big cake at the dinner after sunday's thanksgiving service)

(wf cute mdm goh)

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...)

(eclair which is just ok... but the taste is there, am amazed how different procedures with similar ingredients can come out with tastes so different with other cakes and pastries...yummy~)

(distortedly shaped cream puff with the same eclair recipe...)

(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 on my brother that day at mom's room, shhh he shouldn see this photo up on the net)

Study week

2010-04-18T15:04:00.020+08:00

I guess i've a post during every study week in each semester. I guess la, lazy to search through and find out for sure. Because so far study week means no assignments, no classes, no activities, no nothing...

But this time, no.

Drama assignment dued Friday, another two due one week later. Meaning this time i've to sit down properly and type. And oh well since i've done all of these in the weekdays now i've nothing to complain of, i suppose.

Worked on AR assignment last friday and it's totally horribly annoying. So much paperwork to do, crappy. Finished it only on sunday after coming back from melaka trip with complaints.

Last saturday which is the first day of study week, we finally had our roommate day, i.e. went for a trip to melaka that we've thought of for a few months already. Roomies mentioned about it on Thursday but there was no decision was made because we couldn't find anyone yet there for a stay over. It's rather spontaneous as i was woke up by xinhui and we packed and run off to pudu in an hour. Then went in the bus after half an hour later, ding, we're in melaka...

This should be my fourth time in melaka if i add in that time with NVC. We walked half of the melaka old town, jonker street, ate a lot of things (hmm not really a lot now to think of it, but our stomach was full all the time there...).

This time in melaka there's pesta gendang going on so there're people from overseas, particularly from ASEAN countries come and perform at the small stage in front of the red houses. The first we saw when we first walked to the town was a team from philiphines. They were good, their dances and smiles were very captivating, strong (when they danced the orang asli dance) and man the guy's really strong (and good looking). After that they came down from the stage and came to the crowd. We were standing at the front for better views and we thought they wanted to shake hands with us but we were (shockingly) being brought up to the stage and dance together with the dance troop (embarrasingly especially me cos i have a stupid umbrella on my left, disturbing camera on my right hand, and a clumsy bag in front...). I was so uneasy with all the stuffs with me and oh well it's a disaster but at the same time a nice encounter with the (also cute) guy who invited me up. =P

(chengkim with our first lunch)

(pesta gendang)

(their last stance)

(moi with one of the dancers...xinhui said she's the prettiest among the dancers though...)

(one random pic)

(nyonya kuih... he bottom right one is very very nice leh...)

(two random pic)

(roomies)

(the long 1-hour wait outside capitol satay for the really-so-nice-meh satay celup)

(chengkim with satays)

We walked along streets and looked carefully at the buildings (for me yes, i like the old old different architecture, probably because i don live there that makes it interesting, but i'm not sure with both my roomies, i suppose they like it too =D)

At night after visiting the night market at jonker street (again), we followed ah foo back to her home (who xinhui called that morning while looking for a place to stay, thanks to ah foo who're being so generous in offering her place to us and fetch us there...) Her house is so, wide, with less furniture, it's as if we could roll around on the ground without being afraid that we'll bump into something. The toilet is big, the washroom is big, every room is spacious and homey and comfortable.

(bing tang hu lu... yay! it's sold rm2 there compared to rm3.8 at midvalley, so bought two at two different stalls... xD)

(at ah foo's room)

We had a good night sleep then went together with ah foo to jonker street (again again) to have breakfast and last shopping then off we went to melaka central and then reached kl at 3.30pm. We're glad that we made it to melaka before semester ends, before pudu moves to bukit jalil. It's a tiring but fun trip with lots and lots of walking and laughters and yea, photo taking.

(before leaving melaka)

Monday went to midvalley with kaichur for sushi bonanza and how to train your dragon in 3D. Ok i'm obsessed with it now even after watching it twice i still can't get over it. That was my first time watching movie in 3D and it was not bad, excluding that the spectacle made my head spinning... And this morning went to find out the soundtracks from youtube and hehehe downloaded all. My favourite is the music when hiccup rides on toothless, music named 'test drive'... so nice man...

(moi with the plates)

(and oh we saw a big non edible ice cream)

(ridiculous sign)

(I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS MUCIS...CHECK IT OUR...XD)

Tuesday i worked on the translations files jsean sent me for the whole day although there're only three files. Guess i've no mood to do so therefore dragged the whole process long and tiring.

Wednesday and Thursday worked on drama assignment. The assignment which is given on the third week of lecture, only took 2 days of doing it, and i think is a risk cos (really no heart to do la....)

Friday worked on CALL assignment and (also no heart) did it rather cincai-ly... But since there're no comments from other members so consider it ok bah...

Now attending a 15 hours course about the doctrine of holy spirit at gospel church with lesley. It's an informative and mind-challenging course, requires a lot of concentration in class and thinking along the lectures. Hope i won't fall asleep later tonight, the last class.

And it ends our study week. Exam weeks are gonna start and hmm, i can finally call myself free!!!

2 Months

2010-04-01T20:56:00.012+08:00

This is 2 months from my last post.

Many things can happen in two months.

Many things happened.

Enjoyable, Fun, Grateful, Happy, Tiring, Memorable Things.

Thank God for all these that made a fragment of my life.

This year's CNY fell on a great date, we had a beautiful one week CNY holiday and me had an awesome time with my families and friends back home.

(CNY is always cake time. My stomach was basically full with cakes everyday, at home, over at relatives' or friends' house. Lucky joined badminton competition and kurus a bit, or else not balanced liao...)

A week after CNY holiday me joined our course camp in Pangkor Island. We gave it a high expectation and i think i won't do this anymore. Always have a neutral expectation towards a camp and see how it goes before getting excited. Me got to know my coursemates better in the camp. Came back from camp with a few stings from dunno-what-creature under the water and some scars and a stomach of unsatisfaction of the facilities provided at the camp site. Warning: Never go to Raudhah Camp.

(My fav pic among all pics from the camp, that was before we went off to kayaking and snorkeling.)

This semester am mainly forming assignment group with Amy, Melissa, KaiChur and ShinYen and we named ourselves PowerPuff girls. Made ourselves a hand gesture and we pretty much encourage each other with the group spirit. We're in this same group in our two most troublesome course this semester, L3U and AR (Nermin's one of us here in AR). Seeing each other in their up and downs, helping each other, encouraging each other, laughing at each other; this is the most awesome group i have so far. Hope our group-ship will last=P

(Taken during tarian kreatif's competition, sad melissa not in...)

Went to broga hill for hill climbing. I had better stamina this time, my knees didn't fail me until we came down from the top. Kept falling on the way down, blame the wet soil, luckily got Jonathan's help... Climbing is all bout determination and the supports from friends around. So many complained about the decision to come to the climbing, some didn't feel well in the middle of going up, but in the end all of us managed to reach the top. Although we didn't got to see the sunrise, thank God there's only a few drops of rain or we would have trouble going down. The rain also gave us beautiful fogs, it's like we went into a different country.

(at the peak, yay...)

Had our once in a year MAZ. It's again a dress nice-nice and photo time. I like our venue this time since it provide delicious Chinese course. This should be my best meal in kl... so sad i couldn't have all the dishes cos have to take photo... sad also photos not complete, no time to take with everybody la...

(with hooi hooi=D)

June's bday + Teslian's outing. Had a great time in Chillis with all those crazy people.

(makan...)

Attended Tarian Cina competition after June's bday celebration and our college's performance's brilliant. Love it very much =D

(with Eric, he so talented in dancing la... dunno how he managed dancing in both tarian cina and tarian kreatif..)

Tarian kreatif 3 days later, i thought 7th, 9th and 5th will get the top three. In the end it's 5th, 12th and 7th get the top three respectively. Never thought 12th will get man... 9th also very good ok....

(our college team)

Helped out in Easter Production in the campus and it's a nice experience. Got to know each other better and really thank God for making it happening=)

(our one and only practice for handmime performance~)

Met a nagging old man during NVC donation drive (nightmare). Met nice people who brought us from the weird sri petaling station to UOG. After hours of walking around, met a dunno-who old man. Tried to argue with him his selfish philosophy and ended up nodding to his statements in the end. It's sometimes tiring to argue with an old man's EXPERIENCED philosophy.

IngChan came to KL for a few day before going off to Japan. So i basically threw everything away and spent time with her. We had good time together, going to the sane old places we always went, and went to the finale of festival seni also together with ackell and xin hui, photos pending. Had sushi zammai and okunomiyaki on the second day and the third day... learnt how to look at nice jap things.=) Watched Alice and Hw to train your Dragon together, had fun=P Again,felt distressed seeing her leaving... Ai...

(noob face...should have more pics but the camera memory card didn function and couldn't get more pics out, sigh...)

There's one more week before this semester ends. Next week we gonna have the deadly AR and L3U presentation, the things we've been working for all these while. Hope they went well. Yosh...

圣诗半曲

2010-02-01T11:33:00.003+08:00

今早这圣诗的旋律一直在脑海中旋转，忘了歌名，不记得整首歌词儿，想了很久把副歌给想起来了：

"赞美主赞美主
全地听主声音

赞美主赞美主
万民快乐高兴

请来藉主耶稣进入父家中
荣耀归主祂已成就大事工"

此曲让我心存平安；无论发生什么，做些什么，到要赞美那自在，今在，永在的主=)

February the First

2010-02-01T01:57:00.002+08:00

And it turns to February before I know it and my January planner will be retiring from its service. January is a fruitful month. I had plans and some of them were fulfilled. Some were new and unexpected and I guess I handled them ok.

Joined our college badminton team with initial purposes to lose weight and have fun. Found it harsh and not as simple as I thought when I joined the training. Went tension especially when I couldn’t meet the standard and tried to accept it with an open heart and tried my best to keep up. Was disappointed each and every time when I lose. Overall I won one game with Lydia and the victory feeling was beyond explanation. In the end we didn’t make it into top three when we’ve a great chance. Mistakes were made and how nice if time could be rewind. For sure me is going to train and play more in the future and if there’s a chance I’m going to try out next year in a better shape.

Nuclear weapon-Transforming Human Spirit exhibition is held in Museum Seni Asia for two weeks and I’m helping yue min and her friends as an exhibition guide. At first I doubted my decision and I was concerned by SGM but I stayed after finding out the point of the exhibition is about the theme itself, not about SGM. Being an exhibition guide i just need to memorize or get familiar with the display panels and talk to people when they come. Visitors are few so it was delighting to see people coming and talk to them about the panels. So far I’m lucky of not being asked hard questions unlike Chris and other friends. Another four days will the exhibition go, hope more people will come and see for themselves what is peace and the threats of nuclear weapons especially for us Malaysians who live well here.

Attended Pastor Lee’s Critical Thinking course for the past three days and I really got something out of it. I thought it was plainly seminars until I saw the assignment paper in the course requirement. Ok I need to be serious about it. This course was definitely better than the one that I took in the faculty. Pastor Lee’s teaching is what I always imagine a university lecturer would be when I was in secondary school. And now have to think how to write the assignment paper.

So these three days went to pasar seni for the course and am a bit fed up with the place already, food, people. Now only I found Petaling Street an ‘ang moh’ street when it turns dark. It’s as if we locals are minorities when walking on the streets. I mean street, exclude those hawker and workers. Aiks…

Today is happily a holiday although there’s a great deal of assignments waiting for me. Am going to go into battle after I wake up later. Ciao. Night.

Jan 16 ~ 16th day in 2010
20 days from my last post
3rd week of lecture

Suddenly felt motivated to blog.

So,
Blog lo.

This semester is no less hectic. Assignments poured in since the very first week. Every lecturer has his/her own expectation on us (exclude those lazy ones), and expect something out of us.

(Most important thing is what you/I want out of yourself/myself.)

I think i'm getting better in managing time by fitting in little but time consuming errands into my day-dreaming time. Seeing KC endlessly doing her activity anytime, anywhere, has more or less taught me how to fit things better.

This is very not me. Although a (suppose to be successful) person need to be good in multitasking and time managing, but it seriously affect my rest hours.

Because day-dreaming is very important for me. A few friends said i have an old woman body which is mainly due to lack of sleep. I sleep approximately 5 hours a day, normal. So i don't understand what's wrong with me.

I suppose i don have enough day-dreaming time, or nap time, or i simply need to sleep more than anybody.

Therefore i'm not a superwoman type and i should cease myself from TRYING to become one.

Everyday, lying on the bed becomes a luxury.

Time? No.

And i need to be very bold once in a while to leave things behind and relax a bit outside the stuffy room, or push away all the stuffs and just sleep (this i haven't tried).

Which i think i'm doing pretty well in it, but i guess it's not enough.

Should think of a solution....

A few events i like to highlight here. At least these have made up my dull, boring routine.

15 episodes of Heroes during NEW YEAR weekend.

I miss the good old time when i could watch series like there's nothing else to do. I was really delighted.

Avatar on Dec 30 and Sherlock Holmes on Jan 1

Two most wanted-to-watch movies this month. Satisfied. Like the visual sense in Avatar, and the setting and background in Sherlock Holmes. Subarashii~

Visitation of Taman Megah Handicapped and Homeless Children home Jan 3

We visited it for proficiency project. This is a meaningful visit to me and Wang Shan, and i guess also with Jessie and Yuan. It's not exciting or new but rather it's saddening. Children who know nothing are being taken cared of by a number of selfless volunteers. Once i a while if i don't think about it i thought i was the most unfortunate person in the world. Now, who are?

PKV CM's Family Planning Retreat Jan 8 - Jan 10

We went to EL Sanctuary, Melaka. It's a super duper nice place. I escaped the routine in campus and had fun there. The food provided there is (un-describe-able). The spagetti on the first night was better than any spagetti i've eaten in KL (needless to say 1000X better than what i cooked). We successfully planned out whole-year programme, reminded ourselves with our duty in campus, and enjoyed ourselves very much.

(With li jye and the dogs cutie who accompanied us to the woods and looked out for peculiar animals for us human visitors)

Billie's birthday celebration Jan 15

Pizza Hut, my second time in KL. I went there for the first time last semester for Marilynn's bday, this time Billie's. Enjoyed the salad. Then had my (and Billie's) first Red Box. I finally know why IngChan said K-ing is addicting. So sorry la, last time kept rejecting your offer, IngChan. We had a great time, everyone sang her lung out. Then, went home reluctantly.

Edu Fac HaiNan Chicken Rice

Nowadays i have my lunch mostly at the faculty. Luckily there's this new stall, i heard it's from twelve college, that sells chinese taste. HaiNan Chicken Rice is my favourite (so far). Thanks to it, i don't need to eat the crappy oily with leftover-vege food every afternoon. Although now i'm starting to get fed up with it (ate 3 times last week, once this week), but it's still nice la. However i guess i'll not stand it for another couple of times gua.

Random good food

Guess i'm somehow like tomato said, looking to food for pleasure? Random food do enlighten me. The banana i bought at carefour makes me feel contended, the cheese cake tomato brought add some flavours to my sense of taste.

~.~.~.~

Too much of 'I' up there.

~.~.~.~

Pastor Tong said young people nowadays always thing of "My Ideal" but seldom thing of "The Ideal Me".

My Ideal = I want this/that and (who cares what happen).
Ideal Me = What do i have to do to achieve a better me.

This made me think.

And it all comes back to God after all that i've done. How am i going to honour Him in things i do? Some are so dedicated and faithful they do and try to throw away those unlawful in God's eyes. And i'm not doing good enough.

Not yet, i always tell myself.

Time is passing freakingly fast. The DAY will come, without anybody knowing it. When He knocks on my door, am I prepared to open it?

I always HOPE i am.

Do I?

サムライ・ハイスクール

2009-12-20T11:28:00.003+08:00

Finished watching サムライ・ハイスクール (Samurai High School) last night, a nice Jap "youngster" drama. I was addicted to Jap drama before- gakusen 1 and 2, all yamapi's drama, and (now some i forgot the name). It's been a while since i watch a nice one (being searching through ppstream for nice dramas), and this one, (though the actors are really young, not my age anymore), but it's really funny, couldn't stop watching after watching the first episode.

Again there's a sense of lost after finish watching a drama. The second time, first is iljimae, now this, aiks~

p/s addicted to its theme song- "kodoku no taiyou" by monobright~~~ =D

【一枝梅】

2009-12-07T12:20:00.005+08:00

刚刚看完了这部韩国古装连续剧【一枝梅】，隔有感触。

剧情介绍：

《一枝梅》讲述了朝鲜中期的侠盗一枝梅与当权者和腐朽的社会制度进行抗争的故事,剧中将通过当时朝鲜王朝的种种腐败来讽刺当今韩国社会存在的官场与黑势力勾结、高官子弟享有特权、作弊风气等社会现象.

朝鲜时代中期，有一个活在百姓心中的侠盗，他就是一枝梅。他是专门惩罚有钱有势，有武力的贪官。由于不知道他的来历，他成为朝廷官员们最疼痛的罪犯，也是穷困百姓们的希望。偶然的机会他与卞植的女儿恩彩相遇，并陷入爱情。
（取自http://www.tvpad.cn/hanju/k1839a.html）

此剧由李准基主演，主角当然是帅到没话说(爱死他了)。对于剧里各个演员的精湛演技，甚是欣赏不已，拍手叫好。有些批评说这出剧太过偶像化，李准基如铜皮铁骨，怎么打都打不死。但我觉得这只是满足观众需求，像我这个小女子，如李准基死了这部戏才没看头呢！向来都有看他的戏剧，发现他的演技一次比一次好，一次比一次服众，且又是跆拳道四段高手，在连连两部戏剧里都秀出精彩武功，让我折服。（再说下去就没完没了。。。）

若判剧情，就和中华古装戏没两样，只不过此剧的地点在朝鲜，呈现出当然是朝鲜文化。侠盗戏在韩国拍摄，就有那么个新鲜点。韩剧永远少不了的俊男美女，让人目不转睛。剧中有些角色成天打架受伤的，却面孔白崭，肌肤滑嫩，令人难以置信。（不管，就是帅。。。）

那天也看了amazing grace，一部电影述说古时wilderford 如何把英国的黑奴法令消除，在此也大力推荐。

看完这两部，再瞧瞧当今政治局势，官场打拼，发觉贪是人的本性，所谓的官，不就是贪权腐败，为百姓做一些事，塞其口；然后从只有少数人才能想到的方式打捞财富，不管百姓死活。弱肉强食，胜者为王，这些道理从此至今不曾变过。

什么时候，世界才能醒觉；什么时候，真理才能广传什么时候，人类才有智慧？

December!

2009-12-01T12:10:00.016+08:00

Time passes fast. It’s now the final month of the year (in a blink of an eye), before I know it, I’m at home again looking at my dear warmy room and sitting down quietly thinking of what I’ve done throughout the year. It’s as though I didn’t do anything before this until I looked at the pictures taken. Terengganu Melaka trip, CC trip, Perak trip, all kinds of outings, Port Dickson camp, Connexion friends, stupid photos of Teslians, Kuala Selangor camp, etc, (forget about the first semester..) all trigger the memories in my mind.

Now what fill my mind are the faces, laughters and screamings of Tanjong Karang children. When I go out, I’ll compare the children I had fun with at Tanjong Karang with the kids I see eating pizza hut or carrying a big expensive toy car. When I saw nice mountain bikes in KL I thought of the old lousy bikes the kids ride on at TK, they even teach you how to ride it properly, in afraid that you’ll fall since the bike’s not in a good shape. Others say it’s the effects of five days living among the children, so far everyone’s thinking about them, cute and naughty. Give me a week, and I’ll think about something else then.

I struggled to fight the urge to come back home after exam and went to Kuala Selangor children camp. Right after psychology exam (killer paper?), I went to a two-day-training for the camp (after looking at my coursemates fleeing to Mid Valley right after exam). Training means start all your unfinished or un-started work. For me it’s un-started work, so I made up the complete camp account and 5-day English teaching syllabus for 2 levels over the night. @.@ Luckily Xin Hui was around so I could use her laptop, my beloved laptop was long dead sadly.

On Sunday we reached there after one-half hours car ride from PJ, the place’s nicer than I thought. I think I prefer the TK than Pasir Penampang, the former’s a “kelapa sawit” village and the latter’s “fish” village. We cleaned two halls that we’re going to use, one hall’s old and raggy and we’re chasing away the spiders off their habitat by sweeping away the mass of spider webs. The other hall’s new and cleaner and we’re also chasing away another type of animal, mice (one of the kids’ t-shirt writes “mouses” =P). There’re 15 of us and 11 stayed in host families’ house. My host family has an old couple and their grandsons, they’re very nice and the kids are cute and they joined the camp too. Like ‘em very much.

(the newer mice-inhibited hall, the main centre of our children camp)

(the coffee shop we went three times, famous for mian fen gao...)

Over the five days started from Monday, we had the camp from nine to five. There’re English teaching, singing and games, craft, story telling and talent night practice. I was in charged with level 1 class which has kids from primary 1 to primary 3. The kids were noisy (X infinity). People said I was steady to survive in such noisy class. I thought they’re just my little brother (X 28). The boys behind never stopped talking, the girls in front never stopped kepo-ing.

“Teacher, look at XXX.”
“Teacher, why XXX”
“Teacher, this that XXX”
“Teacher, blablabla…”
“Yes”
“Ya”
“I know”
“It’s none of your business, do your own work…”

Then five days of teaching passes.

Two of the afternoon we had crafts and story telling. Wei Yin’s in charged of crafts session and haha it’s so cute looking at her shouting at the kids.

“Shut up and look at me!”
“Do after I tell you what to do!!!”

I’m very impressed with the creativity of the kids. Most of them are good drawer. They are so playful and talkative but many of them when it came to drawing and designing, they’re pro (I can’t draw better).

I gave my first karaoke to the village on Monday night when there was a karaoke session. We were told to start off the karaoke session since the villagers were too shy to sign up to sing. So li jye and me sang, it was hilarious I didn’t know what expression to give on stage. After that others ask “why you sing so “small voice’ de?”

“Got meh?” Gee….

The station games on Tuesday draws the kids crazy, but I think the group leader suffers more, (which was me and other 5 comrades), one kid is three of the adults, they ran like hell, and I was lagging behind, chasing my group, shouting at them especially the kid group leader to look after her group, apparently she never listen so I kept shouting and running for two and a half hours. Thank God my group was ok until the end, nobody was hurt and we got number 3! ^ ^

Went to watch Firefly on Thursday night, it was like a bunch of flicking light bulb hanging around the trees. Only that they were not light bulbs. It's pretty although some said it's not worth paying rm15 for it.

Talent show and the closing ceremony on Friday night was awesome. It paid off seeing all the kids working for number 1 on stage, singing and dancing to the songs. My group did “kuai le tian tang” and I was shocked at first when they almost learnt the entire song and dance movements on the first day. “What am I going to teach for the rest 4 days?”, I thought. So we brushed up the movements, the kids were very creative as they came out with all kinds of ideas as the dance movements, two kids became rock guitarist in the middle of the song playing air guitar, the kids requested to draw suns as props. I was glad to have such a nice group, (I see some other groups were not as cooperative), my group was quite obedient, I used less shouting compared to other group leaders =D They’re like angels performing on stage. The gladness at that time was beyond description. In the end we got number 3, we were overjoyed.

(we walked to the centre from our host family every morning, it's only 5 minutes walk. the crowd get bigger and bigger from day to day, with more and more kids joining us.)

The closing ceremony ended with a number of kids and some of the teachers crying, hoping the camp wouldn’t end. I really miss the kids and the village. There’re less cars, less noise, less pollution, more bikes and more smiles. You can ride bicycle like in the middle of the (small) road and no need to be scared of passing cars (basically the villagers don’t use cars unless they go out from the village). The once-in-a-week pasar petang was only one-tenth of SS2 pasar malam. There’re small prawns in almost every dishes. Barley drinks there’s only 60 cents. The most expensive noodle sold was rm3.50. When I went back to PJ, at once I detest the busy rustle place, hoping I was still in the peaceful village with cute kids and nice people. Sigh~

(One of the kids in my group, jian hao, who kept calling us after we left the village.)

(a few of my group members)

(level 1 kids artwork)

(level 2 kids artwork)

(village main gate)

(sekinchan paddy field, beautiful)

(Darius became out waiter. On the last day we went to sekinchan to look at the paddy field and had seafood breakfast. The seafood was really cheap man, eight dishes, with two dishes of vegetables and six dishes of fresh seafood only cost rm167.50, fed 11 hungry people.)

From the first day we went there with the villagers look suspiciously on us until the last day when we were asked "when's your next time coming back?", thank the Lord for His guidance and providence. ^ ^

A day before coming back I visited bookfair at The Mines with Chris after church, it’s not as good as I thought, I prefer the popular bookfair at KLCC back then. We went to Times Square, Sg Wang, LowYat and Petaling Street later, kaki nearly patah. The Christmas decoration at Times Square was awesome, like the biscuit houses and snowmen very much =) There was gundam models display at sg wang, they were fragile and nice looking man… Had LouShuFan as dinner at Petaling Street, it’s really nice, no wonder it’s called the best around. At last I reached home fatigued.

(gundam blabla in sg wang)

(yuan lai it's gundam's 30th anniversary...)

(with mr. snowman at times square)

(cute houses ^ ^)

Then yesterday came back. The flight was delayed for half an hour, this’s my second time reaching sibu at nine p.m. Angry.

But needless to say I’m now contented at home (with fever, but never mind!) Praise the Lord! =D

Blessed Day

2009-11-15T01:57:00.010+08:00

Above everything thank God for giving me this life, exactly 21 years ago I come to this earth, to live, to learn, to feel, etc, and striving to fulfill the task and expectation of Him. Yes thank you God, the creator of heaven and earth, for sending Jesus Christ to come to earth becoming human like me and bear all the pain and death on the cross, taking away my sins, destined to save and redeem people’s life by his own scarification, he rose from dead, conquered the death and brings victory over sins. I can do nothing but learn more on becoming more Christ-like, and love God, love my neighbours, more, more than what I’m now. Thank God for your love and patience and all the angels around me you send. Blessed day, blessed life.

Here’re the accounts:

Was trying to trust psycho notes forcefully into my head for the whole day in Nov 13, but didn’t think it work well… hmm…

Then in the evening had a random tea with Calvin and Ami at OldTown, roti bakar-which I heard it’s nice. Oh well it’s roti, hmm roti. Chatted and Ami’s so funny… mistaken this with that blablabla =P Calvin's as usual with this phrase, "See you in Europe..." ><

Then later had a dinner with Bunmi at Bagus cafe, we chatted and I’m glad that I’ve cleared all my doubts, he’s really a nice guy though. Am impressed with his experiences in sports and his vision after he graduated (which is on the progress already.) I think I should have a clear vision too in the future, should put it up for prayer and think about it thoroughly. Hmm…

Walked back to college finding Titan, Soon Peng and See Wooi playing badminton at basketball court. Delighted then I joined the game. Played for 2 hours until 10.30, rode bicycles for a few round (didn’t dare to u-turn, tak mahir lagi…), satisfied. (Now muscles ache like dunno-how-to-describe, we damaged all Ivan’s shuttle cock… sorry ivan…)

Back room and checked out XinHui’s flight to our place. Flight finally settled, yes she’s coming to sibu next September =D

Had a bath then went down for bday celebration (after all the drama XinHui and ChengKim made), then it’s usual happybday song and wishing, blow, cut and bite, then cut again then distribute. Was glad to see people around, thank you all of you nice people. =P

Went to davinci’s exhibition at pusat science Negara with Alex, the exterior of the building looked nice (at first). Then we went in and I was disappointed with the interiors, old, some machines not functioning, .....old again, then machines are basic…ok I’m not a kid anymore maybe that’s why I didn’t feel the fun playing with the lauzy machines… We went to the second floor for the exhibition, showed the tickets to the front desk guy (thanks again Daniel for the tickets =D), then went in. It’s awesome, overall, we got to see davinci’s biographies, in brief, monalisa (great analysis), his transcripts (real one), and all the descriptions and displays of the products of his thinking, be it in military engineering, music, mechanical principles, anatomy, art, sculpting… he’s amazing I should say, I wonder how ancient people think, they are really great thinkers and science practitioner, many of science principles nowadays are based on ancient people’s idea… which are literally came out from their head… why can’t people now have such HEADS leh?

After that we went to midvalley for lunch and trying to buy tickets for 2012, failed. Big big crowd there. So walked around and went to the home and living exhibition. Was overjoyed to see Reno&Décor magazine, and all the translations I’ve worked for in the previous month showing up in the latest issue… so bought the issue and read about it, I can’t believe I came out with those translations myself back then when I was insane with assignments (thanks jSean for the job though =P)…

Went to Times Square in hope to get tickets, failed. Sigh. Had Secret Recipe then back college, in the end. Thanks Alex for the ride and the day =D

Received a letter from ingchan in akashinishi, was happy about it i thought it's a nice oversee greeting until i read this sentence."the reason i send you this letter is because i wan to send you the photo that mom wants..." Then there's this photo of her enclosed in the letter, sigh... ==

Am thankful for the two interesting days (don mention studying and memorizing).

Thanks millions to everyone who greeted hapi bday.And the travel book and note book from Kai, Yen and Jia ^ ^ I really appreciate it. May God bless all of you and Good Luck in everything =D.

I'm a plump astronaut... malaysia bolehhhh!!!

Alex sending himself to the stomach of the ____ .

Walking down. A long long way...

since photo taking's not allowed... so take outside lo...

One of the models taken in davinci's exhibition, secretly, with the security camera right on top of me... should've taken mona lisa's too... but there's always a many people there and the staffs're wandering there so frequently... =P

Ing chan's letter... sent nov 6, reached my hand nov 14 :P

Raining November

2009-11-10T01:48:00.003+08:00

It's November. A month of exams and peparations to go HOME. Yes i'm looking forward to it. =)

Thanks to the study (raining) week that i was able to relax and did things following my own pace. The previous 14 weeks were too hectic for me i wonder why did i put myself in such situation. But i think i'll do it again in the next semester so i think i'll complain when the next semester ends.

Revision went well i managed to read 2 reader' digest that were abandoned for quite a while. I'm glad i'm getting used to the language now compared to when i read it a few years ago. Back then my english proficiency was crap and i never thought of doing english course. Thanks to form six that i realized my strenght is not in science and decided not to take science courses in the university.

Watched two movies, cloudy with a chance of meatball and inglorious basterds, like them both. While watching meatball i felt a little bit of 'geli' looking at the food falling down unendingly from the sky. Inglorious basterds however is a very nice movie. I love the conversations, you never know the sword hiding behind each conversation and each movement. However it's quite cruel la, no wonder it's 18PL.

Finally i got to attend Rev Dr Stephen Tong's bible expository seminar every monday right when study week started. I've made up my mind, no more monday pasar malam, monday badminton or monday activity, i'm going to the seminar no matter what, in the future. It's really an eye opening seminar, i can hardly imagine a man of the age 69 flying to at least 5 places a week to give seminars, teaching the word of God and hoping people repent and receive the good news. His hardwork and determination as the servant of God is very impressing, making me looking down on my own self, who's lukewarm and take things too easily. Seeing him reaching kuala lumpur in the evening by plane every monday and going to hong kong on tuesday, and many other places in the region, gives me no reason to skip the seminars.

Poetry nearly gave me a heart attack. I guess i didn't do very well. If only i have more time reading and analyzing the poem. but i guess that's of no use, sometimes when the ideas don't come, they don't come. Haiz. After that went to AliCafe for lunch and deliver my books back to Sibu, costed me RM9.5 for delivery via sea.

Then visited the exhibition of nuclear bombing in japan at museum seni asia. The exhibition is small but every photo makes you stop, look, and think. There is videos talking about the experiences and happenings during the time. It's really meaningful and serves well for remembrance. Highly recommended. If you are in kl and haven't visited it, do go for it. It ends on November 14.

Study break=)

2009-10-23T21:23:00.011+08:00

Haha study break finally comes. It’s been hectic for the past few weeks, endless assignments and meetings. Study break now looks more like a holiday to me, finally I have time for myself, although there’s still one pending assignment, which I haven’t even started yet, due Monday, phew.

Oct 12
CC Tanglung. Finally the event was held after a big delay. This year we did it in college, with as usual, games, lantern, mooncake, and cake. Though the attendance was not very encouraging but I guess we did ok. Ok. Ya, just ok.

Oct 13
My laptop fainted for the second time, ate too much virus, exactly during the peak time of assignment and work. It’s terrible. Thanks to Kalson who spent time on it.

Oct 16
Connexion beach camp. Went to port Dickson Methodist centre and it’s easy and nice. Malaysians were only 10% from the participants and ya, it’s nice knowing people from everywhere. That was the first camp that I felt so relaxing, probably because we had so much free time. But it’s nice, not rushing, gave me some time to do some thinking. Worship, games, beach, and the most significant event of all, baptism of three girls Jessica Helen and david’s daughter (oops forgot her name). Really happy for them that they confirmed their faith. And I remember very well the smiling Korean guy, who really always smiles… Thanks to billie who ajak me there.

Worship - billie, solomon, wilson

During one of the breakffast

VOLLEY ball

Relay games

relay games teammates - Christian, the smiling korean guy and Hazim from sudan...

campfire, my favourite. seriously the fire was huge, i think i was half cooked. We were barbequing marshmellows... and put it in biscuit with chotolate and makan... they called it S'mores...

um-teslians-me billie marilynn park

Oct 22
Writing test. It’s been a long time since the last exam, and that was one exam which I felt comfortable after it ended. Maybe because I had all the main points memorized, although there were some I forgot, I think I did fine. Then we went out for movie, amy, june, park, jared (rare), mel and me. Watched surrogates. At first bruce willis was so clean (his face), I felt weird since he’s always dirty… fight la, whatever la that made him dirty. Only then I knew it’s his surrogate which looked flawless. Later he turned dirty too though, as usual. After the movie park, jared and me took taxi back. Before that we helped an old lady in a wheelchair and her maid to their taxi. Then later I found out my groceries from Jusco also went into their taxi together with their groceries. Careless me.

Lunch at kyung joo korean restaurant before the movie, the food was...so so...

Oct 23
Finished the last class, reading. Went jaya one with roommates to collect da vinci exhibition tickets. Yay finally got the ticket thanks to Daniel. Now must find a time to go watch the exhibition liao. By the way I think jaya one is quite complicated. I thought there’s only one block apparently it’s not.

Lunch at secret recipe after collecting the ticket...yea i ate 'em all XD

our first successful roommate day =)

Now watching Prison Break putting behind Otto’s assignment which I dunno where to start with. Prison break-Michael is so darn cool, so clever… too bad he has tumor…

开斋节假期

2009-09-25T20:31:00.007+08:00

假期一开始的星期六，CC一帮百多个人大清早起身（加上一些疲累没睡觉的工委），兴致勃勃的跳上巴士，出发到邦咯岛。路上来来往往的车辆及司机的小心让我们比预期迟了些才到达目的地。一下车二年生即赶上快艇抵岛。下榻的酒店外表残旧阴暗，但房间还算不错，住的舒服。参加者一到节目就依计划进行，一切顺利。特别喜欢明哲与明倩的开场，太可爱了=D。。。负责膳食组的我就和组员们排好场地，分派食物。晚餐后的侦探游戏让人匪夷所思，哭笑不得，演员们都非常敬业，演得很好。过后我们就在冰天雪地中过夜，冷气机的温度好底，好底。。。

第二天，星期日，我们起身得晚，大家睡得太香了。一天里我就注意膳食方面的分配及帮忙厨房洗碗。下午闲空时就到处走走，看哪儿需要帮忙。。。晚上有海鲜晚餐。所谓海鲜晚餐，就是其中有一道菜是螃蟹，一小部分的螃蟹，小得可爱。我们把桌子摆成HARRY POTTER电影中长桌的形式，开了灯，气氛还算不错，只是场地略小，有点拥挤。

第三天，早上有自由时间，许多人都早起出外逛街去了，我们却赖床，迟迟不醒，弄到最后早餐没得吃，吊桥没得走，还引来了只水蛭与我相拥，让我血不自禁的流呀流。还得感谢恺慈与欣研对伤口的照顾。。。说来还真倒霉，前一天在走沙滩时摔了一跤割了一下左脚的大拇指，那只可爱的水蛭竟在同一个地点下手，是不是那儿受了伤有血腥味才把它引来的呢？哼哼。。。自由时间过后大家又聚在一起进行最后一项游戏及团康。最喜欢的就是团康了，尤其是祺勇的新年早操，不愧是早操王子！过后吃了午餐，分了奖项，就是CC歌出动的时间，这首歌真是的，太适合用来做离别的歌曲了。。。往往让人情不自禁撒下热泪，许多人都中招了。。。唉。。。过后又来个拥抱时间，不是吧！！。。。这也就算了，DJ（是这样叫吧？）竟然还播发抒情歌曲。。。唉。。。

之后呢是拍照时间，大家尽是疯狂的自拍，拍双人照，三人照。。。团体照。。。一如平常。。。基于酒店疏于沟通，的士迟迟才来一辆，两辆，我们最后三点半左右才到达对岸（本来两点前就能到的，真是的。。。）

到了对岸，就乘坐欣妍妈妈驾来的车去她在实桃远的家。那儿有点像民都鲁，路大大平平的。梳洗一番了就往TELUK BATIK参观走走。那是一个公共海滩，好多人哦。。。接着就和家人吃晚餐。由于假期的关系，各个海鲜店爆满，我们只好到(不是专门卖海鲜的)玫瑰餐厅（研看来不是很喜欢那儿，但她爸说那是老字号了），对我来说就很不错咯，食物很好一下。晚餐过后又去吃干捞面当宵夜(据说很好吃)，很特别，很不错。过后就顶了个大大的肚子睡觉，满足又无奈。

第二天，星期二，和研的妈妈与弟妹去吃早餐，干盘面=D，还有‘扁肉’叻，扁肉的味道，难以形容，只能说：“WOW!”还吃了鸡蛋糕和光饼，光饼和诗巫的不一样，他们的已经改良了，较大，较脆，还有餡呢。然后我们就去打羽球，研的弟妹还真厉害，甘拜下风。研也不赖，看来她的脚好得七七八八了。下午研的妈妈煮了红酒鸡汤+面线，好好吃，好家里哦。。。

三点多研的爸爸载我们到安顺，恺慈家。安顺就有点像诗巫，弯弯穿孔的路，许多豪华的屋子（是我的话多好）。。。到了恺慈家就是双方父母寒暄的时候，做后辈的就静静的陪着（好像远方的姑姑来家里拜访的时候。。。“孩子几岁了啊？”“成绩怎样呀”。。。之类的）过后去泗川餐厅吃晚餐，还是头一次吃到魔鬼鱼，很不错呢。很喜欢那时的麦片虾，好好味哦XD 晚餐过后还去买了猪肠粉，还去了恺慈的同学聚会，吃了些寿司，好饱。

星期三早，与慈的家人吃早餐，咖喱面，好吃。之前在家里吃了水果，好好哦，如果老妈每早切水果多好，呵呵呵。。。午餐是街边的炒粿条，好久没吃这么“像样”的粿条了，好幸福。。。过后慈买了ROJAK，很不错，但不是很和口味。。。下午和慈一起去做邮差，送月饼。恺慈的妈妈还真是努力的做月饼呢，加油！晚上和慈去同学聚会，同学们都很可爱呢，尤其是那个没头没脑的同学，还真把我当安顺人了呢，哈哈。。。

星期四，回“家”的时候到了。早上从美梦中被恺慈吵醒，吃了恺慈妈妈的爱心早餐，就出发了。上了巴士，一路到吉隆坡，是回到现实的时候了。

后知后觉的我竟然没什么拍到照片。。。真是的。。。

带了一些土产回来，尤其是光饼，因不能耐久，只好先吃。所以有了光饼早餐，光饼午餐，和光饼晚餐，延续到星期五（就是今天）的光饼早餐。间中还给了些素娴，ANNA 和真晶，终于完了！嘢！

非常喜欢这个假期，把功课放在一旁不说，玩乐的时候太爽了。CC TRIP 办得很不错，在研和恺慈家又好吃好住的，真是感谢神的恩典，赐我平安与健康，万分感谢神。回到宿舍，还是想念之前的小镇风情，那悠哉闲哉的生活在这儿是求之不得。在每一个地方，都感受到了家庭的温暖，那种感觉，是平常找不到的。妈妈准备的早餐, 弟妹间（少许）的骂战，推卸责任，让人倍感温馨。=D

就带着这感恩的心情过余下的学期吧=）

Do Not Worry

2009-08-27T21:03:00.002+08:00

Do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink;
or about your body,
what you will wear.

Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?

Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour to his life?

And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the lilies of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin.
If this is how God clothes the grass of the field,
will he not much more clothe you,
O you of little faith?

So do not worry, saying,
“What shall we eat?” or
“What shall we wear?”
Your Heavenly Father know that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

{Matthew 6: 25-34}

Who are we to locate our unwanted past in our mind that we never get out of it?
Who are we to laze around thinking we still have much time ahead?
Who are we to worry about tomorrow that may not even come?

Isn't God has it all planned for us?
Isn't He just stay beside us, waiting for us to turn to him?

Why do we care so much about the materialistic, earthly things?
Isn't life short enough?

LORD,
teach me.

Dungun Melaka Trip

2009-08-21T21:46:00.011+08:00

Went for a trip with Amy, Melissa and Park a few days ago to Dungun and Melaka.

Reached June’s house after taken 6 hours of bus ride. We cooked ourselves for the dinner after insisting her to cook for us. Alright, it’s mostly June who did the cooking. We had tofu, two dishes of veges that I forgot the name, a dish of carrot+telur (nah, at least I did a dish… one of my favourite), and fish ball soup. It was really good eating ‘homey’ food after I came here in July. Then we went for (2) suppers at night, lekur… there we went…
You Hoe, the supermarket where we went to buy stuffs for dinner... old warehouse style...

Dinner served
We went to Kuala Terengganu by bus on the second day. It was a blazing extremely hot day. We visited crystal mosque and Terengganu Museum (which we were told it’s the biggest museum in our country). The buildings were really nice, big, and majestic. I like the architecture very much. In the evening we rushed back to Dungun to have dinner with her aunt. Finally we ate Chinese food. I mean, Chinese food, outside in the restaurant in Terengganu. Suddenly it seemed special to me.

The next day we went to Melaka after having breakfast at the pasar with June’s aunt. Then we went for some ss photoshoot session along the benteng. Although it’s not surprising to find only ONE pork selling shop in Dungun, it’s still very interesting, seeing a small stall located beside a Chinese Community Hall.

Mel didn’t follow us to Melaka so it left three of us taking 9 hours bus to Melaka. It was a freaking long hour travel, luckily the bus was comfortable, and unlike the one we took to Terengganu, lousy double decker. Titan came and picked us for dinner then to his house for the few nights stay.
an air-coned toilet in segamat. 30 cents worthed.
Titan brought his friend, Lynette to bring us around Melaka town, had chicken rice ball as breakfast and.visiting all kinds of museum and buildings. Among all old buildings I like St Paul’s Church the most, it’s so magnificent. Then in the evening we had cendol beside a graveyard. Not, beside, but stepping right on the graves to have cendol. Interesting huh, to sell cendol at this kinda place. It was popular. At night we had satay celup as dinner then we went to the Eye On Malaysia. There were not many views, as there were not as many lights of the city. It would be much nicer if it was in KL. Then we went to the Jetty to have a drink and went to KTV in the end.

with lynette amy and park
Lynette wasn’t well in the morning the next day so three of us walked out ourselves. Titan’s place’s located right in the middle of the town; it’s convenient to walk to the historical town. Basically we went to the places that we went the day before because the photos taken in Park’s camera were spoilt so we went to St Paul’s church again to take picture then to Pahlawan Mall to get his camera fixed. I was glad that we walked, we saw many things that we didn’t noticed on the car ride the day before. I was in awe with the architecture of the old buildings. They’re so beautiful.

This morning we took 11pm’s bus back to KL. I’m starting to miss Melaka’s food. Cendol… Chicken rice balls-which the taste was so much like Sibu’s.

before departing to kl
Am very grateful for June, Titan and their families’ hospitality. =)

ConneXion

2009-08-09T01:07:00.008+08:00

ConneXion student conference in First Baptist. an event which amazingly i managed to put everything behind and focused in it.

There were four sessions, first on Friday night and three others on Saturday afternoon and evening and night.:P

The first session went with Marilyn, SeJung, SiRui and of course, Billie. There was ...pre-worship music?... then later praise and worship by Dan Carson and his team, it was awesome. He did it for three sessions, it created such a comfortable atmosphere that got me think of nothing but sing. I dozed off a lil bit during the sermon, my fault, was too tired. Jason, a student pastor preached about 'What does Jesus mean to you?' He did raised a question, which left us thinking...thinking...

The second session went with SeJung. Billie joined the pre-worship music. Then there's Dan Carson's p&w, then Jason's second sermon, on 'the authentic trasfomation'. It was short but concrete, then we moved on to the third session at two thirty, the breakout session. There were two slots where we could chose from 7 topics. Later there was Q&A session by Jason. He answered a number of questions which most of us were interested in. I wished we had more time on that. The sessions were good, i was reminded again of my role as a Christ believer, yes.

Then it was dinner. We went to Amcorp Mall with Candis. I ordered a nasi goreng kampung, and it was the first time i wasted food, i mean, really wasting. I ate like, two 'mouth' of it and i could't eat it anymore. It was probably the most spicy nasi goreng i've had in a year here in kl. I was feeling guilty and yet so helpless that my tongue was ruined.

After dinner we had the last session at seven thiry, damansara connexion did the pre-worship and it was nice. Then we had the second Q&A session with Rodney, the church pastor and three other 'elders/student leaders?'. Then the p&w worship with Dan Carson, the third and last time for the conference, man he can sing any songs~ Six times and a half of 'George Washinton Bridge' can be made a song. And he sang one song with a speed that (i dun really get what he sang~). Later it was Jason's preaching again. Two quotes that i would like to share with you, by Jason:

"Everyone wants to be a part of GREATNESS."
"Stand up for God, even if you have to stand ALONE."

The second quote means a lot to me, a great challenge, that needs a lot of sacrification. Then he did a calling for us students to respond to HIM, the one who is there from the beginning to the end.

Then we dismissed.

Then i started to feel a sense of missing.

Ok we should not depend too much on feeling since it won't last. And it's time to start wrapping the messes that i created in my life, for the past few weeks, and live for Christ. It'll be a start and never an end.

Discipline, Faith, and most of all, LOVE.

Thanks to Billie who ajak us to the conference and Kevin, Candis and not forgetting, Martin who drove us to and back from the Church. =D

The first night with SeJung, SiRui, Marilynn and the photographer, Billie.

Jason, the main speaker from the States, he brought along 20(if i'm not mistaken) young people with him, all of them nice and friendly.

Steven (from North Carolina and has a pair of very beautiful eyes, the first guy i talked to in church that at first i was so...Shy i guess...) and Alice (from erm, which part in Sabah already?, speaks Cantonese fluently and it's nothing like what KL people speaks, it's very Hong Kong-nized, and her English is like, very Chinese, i mean China, that makes me thought she came from China~, a very nice God-loving girl :P).

With Billie and Candis before leaving for (home).

SS week

2009-08-01T16:23:00.004+08:00

Namely, Sick and Sports week.

First it's me. Then there're my roomies. Ah Hui was the worse, cough then fever, fever then cough, repeatedly for a few days. Ah Jing cough. And me was unstable, fever, cough and cold. Darn virus bastard. Lucky it started to ease after thursday. Thank God. Everyone seemed to get better. Sorry roomies me was a big virus.

Virus go away!!!
Three times of badminton this week. Need tonnes lot of improvement. One of my happy sports that i won't stop playing until i'm too weary. A huge contrast playing between guys and gurls. Hmm....

Hiking this morning to Hutan Pendidikan at Jalan Gasing. Just realized that there's an oasis in town. Hill, trees, trails (not to mention UM jungle). Shame on me telling Lesles and Anna to be prepared by 6.30 and i was the one who woke up after that time. It's challenging, expecially for me who has little stamina, to climb up the stairs need a hell lots of energy, more than the amount i used in playing badminton for a week. I was (i think many were, except some guys who're fit although they don't look fit...really can't judge a book by its cover) nearly fatigue when we reach the end of the trail. Phew, out of the 'jail',leg nearly patah (although it hardly took an hour for the whole journey ><).

Saw many dogs today. In fact it's the first time i see dogs on the street, and each of good breed. 'Branded' man! I dunno their breeds-- two were as tall as a ten year old kid, and many furly cute doggies. Hope to have a tall 'musculine' doggie too sometime in the future.=)

Lesles as usual a big wide smile=D

Cat and Dog walking, we were on our way back, yay.

Didn't feel the urge to blog lately, dunno why. But the urge came today but too lazy to type.

Slept for more than 20 hours today, guess it's a make-up for all slept-late nights. Sickness tells me to sleep early and stop ruining my health.

A few pics to summarise my lately going-about.

Min and Me with the green monster in mv a couple of weeks ago.

BanBan and his brother, green monster. He's wearing green too.

A few monsters which are trying to escape but i don't think they are successful since they are always there when i visited mv.

Monster which is captured and forced to hold the 'sales' box up high. Pitiful.

Ami in class who kept poking mel and mel couldn't do anything about it.

Sarawak laksa that i ordered during NVC dinner and it tasted 10% sarawak and 90% penisular. Disappointed.

PKV's MSK that was successfully held on Wednesday. Relieved.

Memori

2009-06-28T22:41:00.006+08:00

I was helping at my aunty's english tuition centre this weekend, had three classes with Grade 3 and 4 students. It's was spontaenuous so i wonder if i made any mistakes in explaining grammar usage (seriously, i think i made some). My dad called it 'misleading'.

So it brought me to the Pedada shoplots that were once so familiar to me. Chopsticks the coffee shop, the coffee shop at the other end of the shop, and a few in other shoplots, two bakeries, Everise the shopping centre, many other varieties of shops around, and not forgetting, Muhibbah the mamak stalls.

I was Form Four. A few of us were taking physics and add maths tuition classes at Newton's. Every tuesday and thursday, two continuous classes of two hours each, with thirty minutes break in the middle. We were talkative, talked all the way in every class. We extended the thirty minutes break ourselves and made it fourty or sometimes fourty five, making ourselves late for physics class every time and mr kong couldn't do anything to'us. Sometimes we'd bump into our school's physics teacher on the way to dinner since he's having tuition class in the neighbouring shoplot.

I visited the bakery this afternoon for lunch. We used to buy bread for dinner when we were tired of fried noodles and kampua. I saw the egg white cake which we used to buy before. It's still there, bringing me more vivid memories about our 'adventures' there, choosing different kinds of bread everytime we came.

Unfortunately it was raining, or i would walk further to another bakery that was popular (for me) with hotdog-salad-bread, a break wrapped with hotdog and salad, obviously, i never get tired of eating it. I wonder if it's still there now. Yea i remember the name of the bakery, Ri Liang Mian Bao, i remember how the tauke or sometimes the taukenio teaches their sons reading.

I stood still, eating the newly bought bread, played with my handphone, and glanced at the road where we used to walk around. The road which we took to Everise, the road which we dared to walk in the middle like our grandfather owned the road, the road that let us continued our non-stop talking after our maths class, which was to be continued to physics class.

Glancing further away, there're more coffee shops. One incident. I helped freya to pour coke inside her tupperware and (maybe) i didn't seal it tight. Then we found out in physics class that it burst and her bag was wet with coke. Papers, pencil bag, everything was drenched. I was petrified. Her calculator was kena masuk water too. Until her calculator was fixed, my calculator was with her as an exchange just in case her calculator died. Year later when i told somebody about this, she said it may be the bubbles of the coke that made the cover burst. Yea, why didn't i think of that. So it's either i didn't seal it tight or the bubbles did this to us.

Everise, a shopping centre that we used to buy junks and loiter at. During festivals my mom would come along with dad to pick me up then we would go there to buy some junks. We hardly go there since i stopped having tuition classes after form five.

Muhibbah, i used to have supper with dad and brother after our classes end at nine. If i see my brother following in the car, i'd know that we're going to muhibbah. Dad specially like one kampua stall, and we'd order satay and salad sotong. I guessed we never changed our menu. My mom didn't like it there, she hated it when people from different stalls coming to our table and ask us to order their things. It's always crowded there, smoky and noisy.

In Form five i did not take add maths anymore so i no longer had the fun loitering around, after class. I just went to class in time and went back after that. But i always treasure the time we spent together, talking nonsence, seldom do the work that mr kong asked us to try, and copied the answers as hard as we could.

Memories, sometimes they're so real.

It's baking week!

First mom baked a coffee layer cake. This time it's not as good as previous coffee cakes because it hardly tasted coffee. The coffee we used wasn't Nescafe's, it's (what brand i forgot d), which had less coffee taste, not as strong as Nescafe. Then mom poured a little more milk than she should, so it made a milk cake rather than a coffee cake in the end.

I baked butter cake this afternoon, the easiest baked cake in the world. I only baked it with three eggs, so it's small that can only last for two days. The cake was put into the oven for fifteen minutes only did i realized i forgot to pour the baking powder. Luckily it's thin so the missing of baking powder didn't do any harm on it. Phew.... In the end it turned out exactly what i wanted it to be, light sweet, many chocolate rice, less raisins (dad and mom like raisins and i don't), best eaten a while after baked while it's hot.

Great i gain some more pounds.

There was an inter-school taekwondo tournament last weekend. I was very guai to go to school and helped coach although i'd already planned something else that weekend. So Saturday i stayed at methodist school for the whole day, first tkd, then 大专之夜.

Helped coach on arranging the sequence of the competition for each person of his school. Eg student A will be sparring in Ring A for round 29, 52 and 71. If he wins 29, then he can go to 52 then later to 71, final. It's quite a mess really because there were many students who're competiting, and the rounds were all arranged next to each other so the body protectors were not enough. So i sort of messed up in the middle and dragged one round of the competition. Felt guilty for that.

At 7pm the competition was not over yet since the participants were just too many. So i left the stadium to the hall for 大专之夜, a program which give students advices on the dos and don'ts on entering university. So there'll be representatives from each uni giving freshmens some advices before they take off next week. I sneacked into the um group with sylvia to see how it went (since we were not part of the team). Met three students who are going to stay in 7th college, dunno how many more from sibu will come (if i got to stay of course...).

Overslept and went to school late the second day to watch the finals. Finally coach's school, Chung Hua got men's second place. Many of them were newbies so their techniques need more improvement(me too).

Had my first bicycle lesson with my dad and my brother (he kept mocking me~ ok he has learnt once and that's his second time, it's my first time man...). I'm yet to control my balance, how to 'pusing' and how to brake without bumping into something else. Wish me luck. =D

(with TechChiang, primary five kid, never gets tired, when others are tired after the competition, breathing heavily, legs shaking, he's there, innocent looking, not a trace of tiredness... a very naughty boy, used to have grading test with him, now he's gotten poom belt and i'm still the same old me...)

Hana Yori Dango (Korean ver.)

2009-06-18T00:51:00.004+08:00

Spend two days in watching Hana Yori Dango (dunno who's it pronounced in Korean....XXX nancha?...) Being too excited after watching the ending just now. =D

The drama, that story taken from a Japanese manga, Hana yori dango, came out first in Taiwan (which i didn't watch, probably a few minutes in friend's house when it's hot) created a hall lots of fans to F4. Then Japanese series came out (downloaded, never watched, or haven't watched yet, peeped for a while when brother's watching it). Felt that Japanese series is better than the former from the looks of the characters, costumes and setting until i watched the Korean version. (Maybe find some time later to watch the Japanese's)

It's a very ordinary romance story, i guess it was the characters that attracted me to watch the drama, F4, each has their own personality and charisma. ^^ Just got to know Rui's role is acted by SS501's leader Kim Hyun Joong (don't really listen to their songs, but it's one of the favourite bands of brother, and his playlist is that forever-{20}-songs-playlist that if he is with the pc for the whole day i'll be listening to his favourite songs, repeating, that consists of songs from dbsk, ss501, sj, and lately some old chinese songs), didn't realize he's good looking... Of all i like Go Jun Pyo more, tall, pretty, muscular...Gee... Admit i watch the characters more than the story. =P

S= (sweetly) So we'll be having lucky draw during the show and i'm here to give you your number XXXXXX, you'll stand a chance to win! Please do watch the show and should you win the price, we'll immediately contact you.

M= Ok. Where's your company based?

S= We're currently in Hong Kong. We're planning to have a branch in Malaysia next year.

M= Where will your company be, in Malaysia?

S= (0.05 second of hesitation) Oh we've haven't thought of that but the decision will come out in our future meetings. I think it'll probably in Kuala Lumpur.

M= (in awe) Oh ok.

S= (never changes her sweet voice) Ok thank you for your time. Good luck to you and your family.

M= (nicely) Bye.(put down the phone patiently)

I can't believe they are still using the same story, after...years? This's the third time i receive this kinda call... the stories are all the same. (Maybe slightly different in the story but the company will ALWAYS in Hong Kong)

A few days later the girl'll call again telling me i've won the lucky draw. I'm going to create a story for her too...(evil grin)

I wonder who did the girl get the name from. I told gram the phone call and she laughed it off, saying they called a few time before. (But i wonder if it's her because she seldom understands Chinese)

What a call. >.<

:P

Event: U6S1 gathering
Date: May 31, 2009
Time: 7 pm
Venue: Shabu Shabu Restaurant
Attendees: AndrewEh, ChekIng, TeckLuk, Danny, Leslie, LeeKhan, AndrewSia, Edwina, Cindy, Michelle, Me, EeZhen, UngHwa, Janis, Peter.
Absentees: Joyce, JingEe, Tiffany, BaYu, LingAi.

Topic: Random, mostly about uni life.
-Danny talked about his dramatic experience of witnessing a road accident in Melaka. A girl was hit and FLEW two stories high (according to him), fell down, body and hand badly twisted and pink juicy substances flowing out from her injured head. The driver ran away. (Ewww, we were just about to have our dinner.)
-Edwina was as usual, complaining about her uni, lecturers, everything.
-Cindy mentioned she has to ‘bao ci xing xiang’.
-Both Andrews were unexpectionally quiet.
-Overall, girls had girls talk, and guys were on their own.

So,
1. Fun to have most people present, everyone is still very much the same.
2. Avoid going to Shabu Shabu next time. The service’s slow and the staffs were unfriendly. Their tone’s rude and the way the lady gave us the bill’s like an ‘Ah Loong’ asking for money.

Back home :D

2009-05-27T11:55:00.005+08:00

I’m finally backed home to Sibu, where I can have all nice sleeps and rests and food. Before this I had NVC, a programme that we went to secondary schools to promote, explain and answer questions about the faculties available in um. It’s a two-week-trip to a particular school in different states in penisular, schools in Teluk Intan, Perak; Jitra, Kedah; Kota Bahru, Kelantan; Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu; Raub, Pahang; Batu Pahat, Johor; Alor Gajah, Melaka.

During the trip, I realized/experienced/felt/saw/ate,
1. The Malay Language I spoke for these two weeks was more than what I spoke in my first 20 years.

2. Aside from KL, other cities in penisular don’t have as many tall buildings, which are very much like Sibu, or perhaps Bintangor. Yet few people still think that East Malaysians live on trees. Like Freya said, tourism advertisements could be blamed for that. Usually when West Malaysia is shooted, KL tower, KLCC will appear on the screen, while when it comes Sarawak, rainforests, longhouses, natives will come out. Thus it creates the misconception that WM is advanced and places in EM are all rural and people still live on trees. ;P

3. Terengganu state public library looked not smaller than UM library. Is UM library really the biggest in the country?

4. KL is heavily polluted as I don’t experience mosquitoes and insects in campus. In Kelantan and Terengganu especially, my limbs were itchy due to countless insect bites. (Though it’s very irritating, but it’s somehow a good and delighting sign that the ecosystems there are still well preserved.)

5. Life would be so much better if our college is more equipped and clean. The best hostel I experienced in the trip was UDM’s. The size and the interior of the apartments are (not to be remembered or I’ll complain more on our beloved 7th college.)

6. People got to plan before act. Spontaneity can’t be applied every time, not everyone can accept it.

7. Older people seldom admit their mistakes. Youngsters are usually blamed before they realize their own mistakes.

8. Speak is easier than act, some speak and never act, some act before they speak.

9. My first dunkin donut, somewhere in the highway between kl and johor – bought at a convenient store in petronas gas station.

10. Became a two-minute-muslim (outwardly-with the muslims robes and tudung on) while we were visiting masjid crystal in terengganu. The building is very pretty, got to see nice Islamic architecture there.

11. Banjaran Titiwangsa is so beautiful, I was never tired of looking at the green in our journey, it’s truly of God’s creation. ^^

12. 12.05am, May 21, on the highway before Daerah Yong Peng, Johor, it was the first time I saw so many stars in the sky. They’re simply countless. I couldn’t take my eyes off the stars, they’re so pretty. Always I only saw a couple of stars in the sky, both in KL and in Sibu (guess I live in the town with all ridiculously bright lights that block the stars from our sight).

13. Global warming is really an important issue that everyone should be aware of. I thought only KL’s weather is hot but it’s the same with all other places. I thought rural areas would be cooler and unfortunately they’re not. It’s freaking hot everywhere.

It’s a nice trip and I had fun getting together with the members, 31 people traveling in a bus for two weeks is not a coincidence. I had great time with (especially) the first years, and seeing the playful side of the second years. I’m really thankful for the programme, not only I can help students, but I’ve helped myself too (except that I ruined my stomach due to irregular time of eating and my eyebags are fully developed due to lack of sleep ).

After the trip I went to Yin’s place at the very same day (thanks calvin for taking me there). I felt homey, finally can have a nice sleep after the tiring trip. Yin came back the second day and we had great time transferring movies and dramas from our pcs (now I’ve so many dramas to watch I dunno where to start off….).

We went for movie the next day, Star Trek at Times Square. I’m never a star trek fan until I watch the movie. It’s a very fascinating sci-fi movie, I came out appalling Spock (Zachary Quinto), although he’s the ultimate bad guy in Heroes, but he’s so cool and manly in the movie… Keke… The only not-good-thing was there were some technical problem, that the movie stopped when the movie was in it’s climax and everyone was like “Ooohhhh….”, including me. I dunno what happened to the technicians they took at least 15 minutes to make the movie back to normal, and everyone can watch it happily. But in all, it’s still a very good movie and the problem didn’t spoil the fun watching it.

I watched 11 epis of hyakki yakoushou in yin’s house, and the yesterday the last epi. It’s a short jap drama about a boy who can see ghosts and spirits, and how he encounter those who want to hurt him. I like the drama very much though it’s not a very fast-action-based drama with extraordinary technologies and story line, but rather a (slow) story that touch on family, friendship, promises and faith. From the drama, it can be seen that the Japanese really believe there are spirits every living things or non living things, that may be one of the reasons that they still preserve their culture, nature and environment very well despite rapid development in the cities.

Am in love with Bleach’s op, Velonica by Aquaz Times. ^^

It’s time to do a detailed planning on how to read all books, watch all movies, and meet all friends in five weeks. Ganbarimasu.

More outing?

2009-05-05T16:18:00.005+08:00

Went to MPH warehouse sales last Friday with mian, min, bel and regretted that i brought so little money. Yet i felt grateful too, if not, i'll find my locker full of books again. Twilight's sold for RM 24, Sophie Kinsella's for the same price, Trend magazine for RM 5, Tony Buzan's for RM 35, where else can we ever find this kind of price in town? Finally i bought Tony Buzan's book, after much thoughts.

Went to Times Square to look for Yin on Sunday and greeted her Happy Birthday. Glad to find out that Angela's done her diploma course in tarc too. Had a lunch in BBQ Plaza and shopped around. Then we came to my college to take my junks to her place. Felt so sorry as i kept pointing to the wrong direction, we went to pj rather than going straight to the campus through KL gate. We were lucky that we didn't miss PJ too (Yin made the decision on which direction to go so we're right this time)... I'm really bad in directions.

NVC camp started yesterday and it's as usual, speaking and listening class, a little of brain-storming. Am still not good myself so have to work hard on it. We, me, chur, mel, mian, faiz, and billie, went to One Utama with Miss Charity in the afternoon and it's great. I like there a lot, there're so many shops to go to. Bought a pair of sandals there which's darn expensive. Ate Thai for lunch and i finish the meal with my throad burning. But it was delicious and great. Later we jalan-jalan and went for bowling. This's my second time in bowling and i was quite safisfied with my result, if only i can aim the rolling angle well, then it'll strike, strike and strike...

(Please note that Mian is not the second F.)

At night aftet NVC workshop we had a mini cinema in dewan makan, pangkhit weikwong min meishi xueqian zhaoke and me were there, watching snipers. I felt lucky that we din watch that movie last time in midvalley, it's really boring. LAter we watched Unborn, i dunno what the heck is it about and slept in the midlde of the show.

Last day of exam~

2009-05-01T01:14:00.008+08:00

Last paper, Prose 1. 2 questions answers with 20 marks for each question. Wonder how elaborating on 1 point can get 20 marks. Is it just me, 1 point?

Then, like last semester, Teslians (+Actuar-ians) outing after exam. Same place, same event---MidValley, movie, dinner and shopping. This time we watched Wolverine (after much debating on which movie to watch,and i win,no snipers,muahahahaha~), it's nice, like it very much, the actions are really awesome^ ^...

Later went to Chopsticks for dinner + early celebration for Crystal and PhangKhit's birthday. Happy Birthday guys!

Missed Alan's birthday party though, so surprised Darius came back (in his pilot trainee uniform...looked more nurse to me...). I wish i can kagebunshin, then i can attend every events tonight (cg especially...). Happy Birthday Alan!

(WangShan: Yay exam over!)

(Before setting off to MidValley...)

(Mian is aggresive today~Too hungry?)

(Cow family which Mian likes very much...)

(At Chopsticks)

Finals

2009-04-24T12:36:00.001+08:00

Three papers over. Two left. (Yay)

The first and last time i opened up the books to read and study in the semester. (Guess this applies to many people...) Then the papers and scripts will go to KaiChur's room - one of the collecting centres for stuffs to be recycled.

Was studying hard for Philosophy of Education, this's the first time in so many years that i actually memorise the points... However it's not effective, i'm yet to find a suitable memorizing method...

One month left to go home ~ looking forward to it...

After a few weeks....

2009-04-12T01:08:00.011+08:00

It’s been a long time. Now it’s come to study week, I’m recalling my memories...

25.03.09 Choir competition! After months and months of practices, there we were, performing the songs that we were practicing hard for. We were so nervous when we were at the back stage, kept telling each other to relax. Looking at other college teams made us (or me) even more nervous. Lucky we were in the second team to go up the stage and sing and we didn’t need to bother about other team after that. XD We got the fourth place, it’s quite a disappointed result but we knew we had done out best. I’m grateful that I joined choir and actually sang on the stage, it’s a brand new experience for me. (I can’t believe myself singing on stage, it’s not really my thing, and especially with all the ridiculously heavy makeup…) Thanks for all seniors and friends who helped and supported us.

26/27.03.09 Entrepreneurship day. We sold (not many) things, which were Chinese cuttings and crafts, nuts and plums, sushi bread roll, sandwishes, and inai. (just did the presentation, still fresh in mind…) It’s fun, selling things and begging people to come and buy our products…(Although buying is more fun…). I like the Chinese cuttings very much, they’re really arts… I’m very impressed by those people who cut the papers… Our sushi bread roll was ok, though I like it more when we did it ourselves in college. Sangi drew Inai for me, it’s pretty, she’s really talented in arts… We ended the day with RM150 profit...

28.03.09 Rehearsal day for our play. It’s kinda a waste of time since not everybody was there. But we had the whole thing gone through. Later mian yen and me went for dim sam with ah siong, yam yam…

29.03.09 Farewell for Darius. We went all the way to Mont Tiara, nearly got lost. We had dinner at Boston as Darius had vouchers with him. As usual, we took a lot a SS pics and laughed absurdly at jokes, which were mostly cold since there’re two big jokers there… On the way back Darius went to a wrong lane and we entered a mysterious dark uncompleted highway. It’s really spooky. Lucky we got out safe and sound. Phew…

30.03.09 Ing Chan flew to Japan. I planned to go to KLIA on the night before and came back early in the morning for class but thanks to my sister, my mom warned me not to go there, dangerous, she said. Oh well… I was sad I didn’t talk to her well before she left, thanks to her lousy phone, low battery. I didn’t even greet her goodbye. But to think of it, if I went to airport, I’d just come back with swollen eyes, shall I say I’m lucky I wasn there? Now she’s all ok in Japan, thank Lord for that. Pray that, Lord, for her protection and spiritual fulfillment in the hard land.

04.04.09 Play performance. We did it at the audi in edu fac. Every group did well since we had short practices before that. Everyone was cute and funny acting up on the stage. I was a narrator so I stood down there and read lines. Not satisfied with myself, there were some “mis-pronunced” words…Sigh…

05.04.09 A trip to elephant sanctuary with Prof G and coursemates. It’s located at Kuala Gandar (not sure the spelling), Pahang. We went in van for around one and a half hour and we dropped by deer park before we went to elephant sanctuary. We went in there and fed deers, the deers were all hungry. Whenever they saw people with food, they would all rush there and eat the food. It’s kind of aggressive but pity them, I guess they were not given enough food by the ‘deer’-keeper because they needed to entertain WE visitors… Then we went to play with pythons, took photo with them, I mean. It’s not as scary as I though, I could feel it moving on my hand, kekeke… it’s fun looking at mel and sangi sambil screaming sambil making pose for photo shooting; billie and mary’s disgusted faces, and mian’s frightened face. Yin’s very natural with ‘em though. Then we went to look at bears and monkeys, then we left to elephant sanctuary. We reached there shortly after that. We watched an half-an-hour video about how elephants are protected. Then we went to feed elephants. After that, elephant ride. Each person got to ride on it once. I rode with mel, she was so scared behind me…. Keke… It rained right after that, cats and dogs… but it didn’t stop us from going to the next activity, “bathing” with the elephants. It’s not exactly bathing. We went beside a lake, people sat on the elephants and it would walk a few steps and threw all people down into the lake. It’s fun though the water is NOT VERY clean. Everyone was playing happily in the water. Unfortunately when it’s mel and my turn, the ‘shop’ was closed. The elephant went back and we didn’t get into the water with the elephant. When I thought everything ended; accepted the fact that I was not going to get wet; happy with it since I didn’t bring an extra pants with me and it’s time to go back; I was set up by mian sangi amy and tim, being thrown into the lake. I had to borrow pants from Jared… so embarrassing… Finally we reached college at six something, all exhausted and satisfied with the trip. Thanks Prof G for bringing us there, and everyone for the fun I had.

07.04.09 ESL test. Didn't really study for it so... CC farewell that night... Not everybody was there...the director was cute... can compete with mkc director in giving opening speech. A memorable night that we saw many seniors crying... lucky i was not infected by crying-bugs, i was strong enough that night. Wish all graduating seniors a good future ahead... am going miss you guys...

08.04.09 Grammar test. It turned out sad. Sigh… We had our last class with Prof G and Dr. Aini. So sad that they are retiring, two good lecturers. Though I didn’t like Aini’s, but she’s really good as she cares for us… like a secondary school teacher. Feel guilty for always sleeping in class… Sorry prof-s. Besides, I missed the last PKV meeting….I heard everyone was there… sigh…. See ya guys next sem then…

10.04.09 Good Friday. I went to church for Easter production. They drama was awesome, the crew really worked on it. It reminded me of Jesus, his crucification, it’s so important for us that without him, there’ll be no us. Pastor taught about love and forgiveness, we have to forgive people like how God forgive us. And we have to fight the devil off from destroying our relationship with God… Yes, we’re gonna do it!

11.04.09 Archuleta’s showcase. I went to sunway pyramid with sangi+sister+boyfriend mel and aini in the morning. We had lunch and went to meet up with digi people, to get ourselves registered then we went to wait for the shuttle bus to the elephant walk. The bus was super crowded. We only got in the second bus, squeezed in… We’re really like tuna fish… We reached there at 3, it’s darn crowded at the entrance… securities were shouting, people were squeezing and (maybe not) pushing. We were lucky to get a VIP pass and got in without much trouble. There’s a long walk before we got to the place where the showcase was held. There’s a big crowd, and everybody was screaming. I was too dehydrated to scream… David Archuleta reached there late…. As expected…. Before he performed there were three artists singing, one was (I dunno the name-he’s some first runner up in astro song competition)… I like his dancing; another was (forgot the name already… from one in a million…) guy… then later was Daniel from malaysian idol. Then there he came… everybody screamed like crazy… He was so adorable…His vocal was so powerful… Wuu… like ‘im. (However if it’s cook it’ll be even more exciting…) He sang six songs and then ‘wpoof’, bye bye. It’s really nice seeing him singing from a close distance… Thanks Melissa for bringing me there…

(12.04.09 Will be going to church and pc fair…. Looking forward to it…. Yay…)

Thank God for everything. ^ ^

Confused

2009-03-16T23:26:00.003+08:00

Did i make a right decision?

Why do i still doubt it?

Why can't i stand firm on my own perception?

I'm lying to myself.

I've been too thoughtful.

Afraid of changes.

Afraid of disagreement.

2009-03-16T07:48:00.003+08:00

Lately life's being hectic. It's all about doing assignments and activities (though it's always so), i hardly find time for myself.

Helped out as an usher in Fragments, an easter production in campus. Yen Yen, jon and hann hann performed in the drama. All the actors and crews did really well. I'm glad to be part of such project (though i went for the last two Actual days only), it's such a blessing i can feel from it.

Choir competition is near and we are having intensive practices. It's TIRING, but joyful at the same time.

Attended church on Sunday morning lately (due to such and such activities), though not with my own cell group members, but it makes me think of wesley church, which at home i always wake up early for church, and it's always so refreshing after that.

Attended MAZ which was held in putrajaya, the place's grand, the food's ok, the people're all nice-looking in their gowns and dresses. It's the time when i see the different side of GIRLS, dressing really nicely, it's fun.

There're mountains of assignments that i don't know where to start. Irritating... Sigh...

Tired. Hope i'm a superwoman...

C-G+F

2009-03-07T18:38:00.004+08:00

Yay i'm back to church cg, glad to see everybody after weeks.

Attended OPS Gegar, a conference organised by FES. It's fruitful and life-renewing. Hope it lasts. Ought to pray hard for it.

Looking forward for church service tommorow. (and outing with yin and yi san...XD)

Thank Father Lord for bringing me back. ^ ^

久违了

2009-03-06T11:43:00.000+08:00

这一个多星期来发生了不少事。

有甘，有苦，有辛，有酸。

先说MKC，前后都让七宿华人们流了不少汗水及泪水。

MKC逼近，大家拼了命似的练习，筹备。戏剧，舞蹈，醒狮，华乐，乐团，扯铃，相声，以及二十四节令鼓，只要一有时间（就算没有时间），大家也会聚集在一起排练。各个小组连夜的赶工，间中虽有些许的不愉快，但想必都已化解。作业，考试，被搁在一旁，作息时间减少，可说是精神嘉许，也可说是轻重不分，就看各人心境而定。

MKC前有马来及印度同胞的MKM及MKI。各个都显出了文化的精华。MKI一完毕，大家即开工清台，布置。分工合作的情景，让人觉得温馨。这(对于我来说)可是前所未见。

当天，大家做最后的准备，练习。晚上，节目依计划进行，虽天公不作美，我们被迫换场地，但节目仍旧得以继续，可喜可贺。这都归功于筹委们设想周到，准备了个B计划。节目一完结，大家喜悦万分，那感觉甚是难以形容。当中有人不支晕倒，意外受伤，愿神祝福，医治。

从这活动中，看到了许多有心人的付出，努力，管他是一年生，或是学长学姐，那不窃不舍的精神实是让人敬佩。从此也看到了大家合作的精神，满足了这MKC的其中一个宗旨。

这是我的第一次，帮忙筹备，上台充数，参与鼓队，自认没有百分百的付出，但让我获益良多。这次的活动，让我铭记在心。

MKC过后，我的生活作息明显被打乱。作业，考试都被搁置，没啥准备，还真是不知所措。都怪自己没安排好时间，后果只好自己承当，希望不会影响到别人。

这个周末，我必要将时间找回来，补偿失去的东西。（看到同学朋友们个个都打包回家，真是羡慕。。。）

希望大家都有充分的休息，回来时继续加油！^ ^

Different Weekend...

2009-02-22T18:57:00.002+08:00

I hopped on almost all public transportations in three days. Taxi, bus, LRT, Monorail, and KTM. Ah Sis (IngChan) and me brought dad and mom and bros to look around in KL.

IngChan and me always walked fast that we needed to stop for a while after we walked for some time to wait for them to catch up. This's obviously the difference of people living in a city and in a small town. I miss walking slow...Bros were so annoying, they kept bugging us to go back to the hotel after a little walking. The small one's forgivable but the big one isn't. Weak... >.<

IngChan's graduation's been great. It's simple and fast. It's delighting to see her getting the result that she's been working hard for. Everybody looked smart and cheerful. Her Jap teacher still recognized me, it's very sweet of her. We got a little problem communicating since she talked little English and I talked no Japanese.

Reluctantly, i attended the super boring APK seminar session which requires us to write a report on it. It's better off not come back and stay with my parents, but for the marks' sake, I was there.

We had a choir practice that afternoon. The seniors invited a tutor to teach us how to sing properly. I felt warm listening to a familiar Chinese slang, only then i realised that she's from Sarawak... ^ ^

We had MKC rehearsal last night. It's smoother than last time's. Although there were some mistakes, i believe we'll all fix it until the real day comes.

The drums came and here we are practicing with the real thing. I hope we can practice it well on time.

Now that my mom and dad went back to Sibu, i'm trying to switch my mood again from the moment of sad feeling seeing them waving goodbye in the bus to LCCT. Waving goodbye is always the saddest part of leaving, especially from someone you love. Sometimes i hope i'm cold blooded who feels nothing about sadness.

If only i can.

Tired.

Kazoku

2009-02-19T01:45:00.003+08:00

Mom and Dad are coming to KL.

Big Bro and Small Bro are coming too.

Ah Sis is going to graduate from her course.

Yay i'm going to meet 'em in 22 hours...

I'm expecting a good (most probably tired...) weekend. (Excluding APK seminar and MKC thingy...)

Hope Ah Sis and me can be good tour guides...

Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T23:35:00.003+08:00

I didn't realize how big valentine's day is until now. People are thinking how to celebrate it, buying chocolates, flowers, stuffs to the person they admire, whatever it is. Back at home, who cares? (Maybe it's just me...)

Valentine's day for me is,A DAY WHICH IS NAMED VALENTINE...

Another commercialized day.

However, i celebrated this day in church, having a date with GOD in His house. The preaching is nice, with the theme of 'Love is in the air', pastor preached on what is love. We had special items today, which were a drama on how different people in different country celebrate this day; and a duet on Jason Mraz's song, Lucky. The performances were so good...

The drum practice is resumed after a few days of rest. Since the drums're returned, we have to hit the chairs again. It feels so NOT right. Sigh i miss the drums.

My assignments are piling up... I wish i have 25 hours...

Anyway, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, FOLKS...

Chap Goh Meh

2009-02-10T02:04:00.003+08:00

I never thought of celebrating Chap Goh Meh until Alan asked su yi, darius and me out after pkv meeting.

We went to pasar malam, which at first i thought we're only going to pasar malam then we could go back college. (so many work to do...) I bought fruits, many fruits for kim, chur and myself. (gotta buy as many as possible since we got a car, and there's a guy carrying stuffs for us)

However later we went to subang for bah kut teh. It's delicious. Darius's good in ordering and bancuh tea. Again I thought we were going back after that, ya know, work to do...

Then darius suggested we went to a higher ground to go for a night view.

Off we went to puteri 12, puchong. The sight of the city is beautiful. It's nice being there, we took SS pictures, fed mosquitoes, and discussed about the moon.

Finally we went to cherlene's apartment at SS17 to bring the bananas that she asked us to buy for her.

I did something stupid. I left my bag there at cherlene's house, making darius to return to the same place to grab my bag.

Sorry darius.

Finally we reached um at around 11pm. Alan joked we had a long meeting today, from 3 to 11pm.

Yen's waiting for me with empty stomach.

Sorry Yen.

To think of it, if i put away the eagerness of going back college to finish my work, it'll be so much more fun. (i managed to put it away when we reached puchong)

The songs in darius's car're so soothing. I felt so relaxed.

We had a really good time talking, joking to each other, without any pressure...

Thank God for getting us together. It's a blessed day.

Happy Chap Goh Meh.

First Time-s

2009-02-09T11:16:00.005+08:00

Mian and me attended college IC's Pongal celebration last Friday. We went there late. We joined Melissa's team. Lesley and June're long being there already, helping out. We boiled rice in clay pot (is it clay pot?) with milk (this's my first time seeing rice with milk, so... weird). We nearly reach Pongal at a time, where the bubbles (or what's it called?) were going to spill out from the pot, but we failed in the end. One of the teams reach pongal after that. We added some more rice later and started cooking it and put brown sugar, cashew nuts and raisins inside it. Finally it's done, with ashes inside, and the rice was brownish in colour. It tasted sweet.

We were the last group to finish it. It really took us a long time. Lesley and June're there from 8 am, mian and me went there two hours later, and we more than one hour to cook the rice. After that we had lunch there, the mee and bihun're better than the dewan makan's. (shhh...)

Pongal festival is celebrated in harvest time, thanking the rain, sun and the farm animals that have helped in the harvest. It's a three-day-event. The one we had in college's the main day, usually fallen on January 14 or 15, the "sun-appreciation' day. So, we did it under the sun, it's HOT, seriously, it's even more exhilarating that we needed to cook under the sun, you see, we cooked using charcoal, we gotta maintain the fire, we burned papers, branches; and it took a really long time for the rice to be cooked. I hoped i could pour oil on the fire...

However, it's fun and interesting. It's a new experience for me. The IC members worked hard, they didn't sleep for the whole night in order to set up for the event. Clap clap...

I went to a Orang Asli Village yesterday at Pulau Carey together with my drum teammates, the dance team and some seniors. We went there to perform for a Chinese new year open house in the village. We got to see the orang asli's dance, which was very entertaining, i like their music. Their art is impressive, with awesome carvings. The houses are made from wood and leaves (I think so), and the kids are shy. ^ ^ The village was not as 'rural' as i imagined. They have a proper toilet!

Our dance team was doing a great performance as usual. While our drum team did a good work too, thanks to the seniors for teaching us. Although there were imperfections (quite a lot), but we worked hard for the last few days for it, which i think is a very good experience for us. Now i have a pair of legs which don't seem to be mine, they're dreadfully painful.

And well, YEAH, i get darker and darker...

The wifi's irritating! i can't upload pics!

First week after holiday...

2009-02-06T00:58:00.006+08:00

As usual, classes, practices, meetings...

Something different?

Two reunion dinners in a week, shall i say three?

PKV Chinese Ministry reunion dinner, wednesday, at 大专福音中心, we had steam boat, nothing fancy, we 'steamed' hot dogs, crab meats, veges (yay), mee, fish balls, and things. We 捞生 using fork, i did that for the second time, but that was the first time using fork, plastic's. Had a great time seeing and talking to everybody since i'm not able to attend meetings due to college activities EVERY WEDNESDAY.

CC reunion dinner, thursday. We had it in New Paris, a Chinese restaurant with non-Chinese name. Weird though. Bumped into PKV's reunion dinner at the same place, same time. Glad to have the dinner with everybody, really, EVERYBODY, college CC members and PKV-ians. Taking photos was one of the major activities that night, and the night was highlighted with seniors giving ang-paus and little gifts. It's a merry, noisy, memorable event.

I had my first bible study with Bell on Thursday morning, FINALLY. I woke up exceptionally early for it, i can't believe myself waking up so early, though i still felt very dizzy after that. Yay, praise the LORD!

The drums came and we played it once on Wednesday night. It didn't feel right. Guess i'm too used to hitting chairs. Gotta work on it. Hope all practices and performance (if there is any) will be fine.

絶対彼氏 (Zettai Kareshi )

2009-02-01T11:49:00.002+08:00

Am watching 'zettai kareshi', a jap drama.

The main character is so cool and adorable... *nosebleed*...

Besides, i like the theme song very much, 'okaeri' sung by Ayaka.

Synopsis:

Robot maker, Kronos Heaven, finally develops "Night Tenjo", the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. The company chooses temp worker Izawa Riko to take part in a 5-day free trial. At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But when she finds out how deep Night's devotion to herself is, Riko finds herself falling in love with him. Joining the love triangle is Asamoto Soshi, a distinguished young executive at her company who has feelings for her. (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Zettai_Kareshi)

2009-01-31T15:12:00.000+08:00

回乡过年，十日不长不短。
首日回家，病魔侵略; 洗刷家里，制作蛋糕，啥都没参上一份。
除夕之夜，美味当前，幸福满溢。
新年首日，往母亲边亲戚团拜。
新年次日，往父亲边跑。
年年如一，一年未见的堂表兄弟姐妹，仍然可爱的姨舅姑伯，安好无恙。
大年初三，参加了表姐的订婚午宴，两人甜甜蜜蜜，喜悦非常；晚上往跆拳道友家团拜，脸红红回家。
大年初四，往中六级任家拜年，老师依旧年轻，春风满面。
新年初五，诗巫水劫，汽车动弹不得。
新年初六，小妹出门，天空略晴，江水仍高涨不下。

一月的最后一日，是时候收心，把目标转移课业上。
二月的我，是否像一月般，生活乱七八糟呢？

无论如何，

負けない！

What happens when you get an oral ulcer?

Bad news: You can't eat. Especially during CNY season, there're so many good food in front of you...

Good news: You can't eat. Eventually you can lose some weight and you can confidently wear your cny clothes...

I WAS SLEEPING...

Several invitations declined...

Shopping trips missed...

Hope everything will be fine before CNY comes, really, there's only ONE day left... I WANT TO GO OUT!!!

Going back

2009-01-21T17:29:00.004+08:00

Sitting in the boarding hall with Alan and Dora waiting for the plane to come. (Another freaking one hour...)

Prof G said for those who're going back for CNY can read the text book in the bus, flight, which takes long waiting hours, whatever...

I don't have the text book with me though.

This morning we had pengat durian, it's nice if i only took a few 'mouth', however it turned disgusting at the end. I like nasi pulut, yummy, and yucky...

My laptop is playing bad, not letting me online.

Bye KL, Happy CNY to ya all.

College mates remember to bring more 'nian huo' over oh...

God Bless!

I experienced my first ever donation drive yesterday. I paired up with KaiChur. We stood under the sun for some two hours, at a car park, which was a really good spot. I remember myself avoiding people on the street with a donation tin and it's my turn, I saw some people avoiding us. It's a perfect cycle.

We were lucky to meet nice people. People didn't question us like we were some kind of cheater. There's an aunty who bought us soya beans seeing us walking around for a long time, another brought us caps asking us to wear it to avoid the sun. I'm really thankful, they really made our day, especially when we did't know each other, it's so warm-hearted to receive such care from them.

We went back with a rather large amount of money, i'm glad that our effort paid off. Grateful to pair up with KaiChur who knows so many languages, and AhSiong who fetched us going and back to college.

I have drum practice today, it's getting tough.

I think i'm getting darker, standing under the sun for two mornings.

Angeline and SiewMo, sorry for not being able to spend time with you gurls. I'll sure catch up with you gurls later.

It's being a hectic life in college. Classes are inevitable, it's what i'm here for. However, there're activities and functions to attend to. I see many who are very active and yet they can cope with their studies. I wonder how they do that. But i doubt i can. It's not me. I'm trying to be one but can't. I don't do much but i feel like i'm doing many, i'm tired.

I'm nearly broke, yet i spend money like water. The loan is not helping this semester and i'm ashamed to use my mom's money. But what to do?

So,

Time management. Multi-tasking, nay, unless i can split my brain for different things at a time.

Financial management. Replan after i make a review over my January's spendings.

And yes, spiritual life.

Happy New Year 2009!

2009-01-02T09:29:00.002+08:00

2008’s a very special year for me. I got into UM for education course, although it’s not a real dream for me, I don’t really have dream anyway, but I know that God has a plan for me. I’m healthy, I get to know more friends, my relationship with my family is still very good, though I always disappoint my parents by my laziness both at home and at university, I’m still keeping touch with my old friends, and most of all, I get to know God more.

I spent the last few hours of 2008 in Sungai Wang with Alan and LiChin. My plan was originally stayed in the room and does some reading and then went out with course mates to DTC there for a little countdown + photo shot but then the plan’s changed last minute to go to Sungai Wang. We reached there at around ten pm and there’re mountainous of people there. That’s really called ‘people mountain people sea’ which I finally see it for my own eyes. There’s concert going on which local singers were invited to perform for the night. I know non of their songs except from Golf and Mike, a Thailand group but unfortunately people were just too many I couldn’t see their performance very clear. People were squeeze into the crowd, pushing each other, the air was full of perspiration smell, hot, humid, body smell. Some people sprayed bubble spray to each other, making people looked like they grew some white hair on their head. The countdown was nice, people shouted out the numbers in unison, and when the time comes, roars of cheers and laughter came and many people sprayed the bubble spray into the air. The smell of the bubble spray was just unbeareable, my nose felt like full of white bubble. Lucky we hide fast so out body were not covered with the foams. There was fireworks too, due to our location, we were not be able to watch them probably, just a little corner we could see, but it’s at least better than nothing. The place looked like a disaster after the countdown’s over. The ground’s full of bottles, empty bubble spray bottles. It’s really hard to walk so everyone walked slowly, cautiously, and squeezing-ly. Malaysians, never know where rubbish bins are, the ground’s the nearest and easiest-to-throw rubbish bin. Then I reached college at 2 something pm, we came back via monorail and lrt, the passengers were really mountainous, some people were too excited they cheers in the monorail too which I didn’t like it very much, while LiChin and Alan walked back together through INTAN gate.

The first day of 2009 I spent it in Melaka with church cell group members. Anna, Jessica and me went Pudu in time while we met Ming Hui and Josh in the middle of going there. The bus's half an hour late then later we reached melaka at 12:25pm. The weather's great. We had chicken rice as our lunch, we didn't manage to go to the famous oldest chicken rice shop because the queue's just too long. The chicken rice're rolled into the shape of small sphere which was very new to me. I've heard of it before, this's my first time seeing it, i thought it was fish ball when i saw it. Later on we had cendol for dessert, the cendol's ok, i like it since there're many things inside, i didn't very like it since there're too many nuts inside and the santan made it sweeter and sweeter when i was eating it. I like old buildings in melaka, they're so many stories for behind them, the arqitecture's attracting, the chinese there speak mandarin, everything looked so comfortable. We departed from melaka at 6pm then reached kl two hours later. That's it, a day in melaka, one of the most historical state in malaysia, i should visit more places in melaka next time.

Both days i went out, there're people got sick. LiChin and MingHui, hope you recover soon.

2009, here it starts...

In KL again...

2008-12-29T00:15:00.003+08:00

I'm here in kl again. After eating laksa (the laksa's super tasty...i'll definitely go there again next time) and shopping with mom (finally she bought a set of new year clothes for herself...) on saturday, i rushed home to pack my luggage and off i went to the airport with my dad... Lucky this time not everyone comes to the airport or i'll feel sad-der leaving home. Or is it i'm eager to see my sister makes me less home-sick this time... i wonder...

I waited long for my luggage in the airport... it took at least 20 minutes standing there for the luggage to come in. Later i came back um with jie jie and jia sing via taxi. It's a lot faster then using skybus and lrt, while the price's a lot 'prettier' too.

I slept at kaichur's room for the night while my room's occupied by su yi and mei mei, pity them don't have rooms to stay... I wonder how the renovation going on... do they really need more than a month to do that?

I met my sister yesterday and we went to times square and midvalley to shop for her new year clothes. The result of a day's walking around's a new shirt bought by my sister and some stuffs i bought. I came back with ached foot and waist. Sigh... I love being together my sister though i'm the one who's always being bullied, she's the one who knows me better than anyone, aside from my mom. I'm going to find more time outing with her before she leaves for japan in April.

Ciao.

Christmas tree competition

2008-12-17T13:58:00.015+08:00

There's a Christmas tree competition in town. 13 christmas trees which are decorated by different companies and organization are displayed at town square.

(I like especially this one, it's all made by bottles, hundreds of bottles with coloured liquid inside, dunno how does it look like in the night...)

(This one is not for competition i guess, it's the biggest, located in the middle of town square.)

It'd be better if the pics are taken in night with the lightings on... sadly my phone doesn allow that... no choice... which one do you think will win the first prize?

GB Christmas Party

2008-12-13T21:05:00.012+08:00

The annual GB Christmas Party was held this afternoon. As usual, it was organised by Pioneer girls, i.e. Form 4 or 5 girls. It started with a combined praise and worship session, then with song presentation from each sections, singing songs with actions. I love Cadet's presentation, they sang the song with the cute innocent looks, especially Mdm YenYen's two year old girl who hardly sang and did actions but she's really adorable up there... Haha... Later there's a sharing session by Pastor Lau. She talked about the "Gift" of Christmas, i went out for games preparation so i missed it.

The Cadets and Juniors came down for games after sharing and gift-exchanging session was done. YeeUng, YuXuan, MimMim, YaBing, KimYing and me brought them to the games session. They played several games, i'm glad that they responded very well to us, each participated in the games will full anticipation, although the games didn't work as what we planned it should be... YuXuan did most of the talking, she's really gifted with the ability to communicate with children... The girls couldn't understand what i was talking, or what i was trying to explain to them, but she helped me out to explain almost everything to the girls, it's blessed to have her there. It's fun seeing them playing, some are so small that while the were playing, they need bigger girls for assistance. They worked hard to achieve the first prize, though they need to improve on the way of taking care all girls in the team, especially on the safety of the younger girls.

After that the girls had a little prayer then they dismissed, bringing their gifts, prizes and souvenirs back. I had a little photoshot with the officers and my dearest GB partners. Then we cleaned up things, chatted a little with the officers while later YuXuan, KimYing, MimMim and me went off for a tea since KimYing will be leaving tomorrow for UMS. We went to Tea Room and changed two seats before we found the place that we wanted to sit. It's embarrassing and fun doing that... Haha... The price there were reasonable, food was ok, but the most important part was the chatting part... I'm grateful that we gathered, and the next time we do that, it will be a year later.

I'm really delighted for today's event, feeling energized from the children laughters, although i woke up with a headache and sore throat, which is the consequences of days and days of sleeping late, ignoring my parent's advice. I dare not tell them or else i'll see mom's dreadful disappointed expression which i'll feel very guilty about it. Headaches go away...

(Chirstmas party invitation card the Pioneers did this time)

(Cadets presentation, the white shirt girl is the two-year-old cute cute cadet...)

(Little girl trying to pick green and red beans out from the flours using chopsticks... for girls who don't know how to use chopsticks, they picked funny...haha...)

(Souvenirs i received from Mdm Debbie during MLM and today...the heart means we have to put in our heart in everything we do; the foot means we have to follow Jesus's footsteps; the hand, which she gave us today, means we do things with our hands, useful, meaningful things...i learn a lot from her testimonies, she's dedicated in children ministry, a devoted Christian...Thank you Mdm Debbie!)

Outings...

2008-12-11T19:33:00.017+08:00

Last night LingAi brought me, Cindy and EeZhen to Elken product roadshow at RH Hotel. The products that they were promoting were corpsdereve dx and Dr Diet, which the price was extremely out of my consuming range. They looked good for dieting, maybe it's really good, but sorry, i have no money, don't ask me to buy... However the seminar is quite interesting in letting us know how to take care of our body. It reminds me that i have to keep on my diet plan.

(Me, LingAi with her nice red Elken uniform)

This morning i went out with Angeline and YingYing. Ying looks a lot more bigger than before she left for Australia a year ago. We had a nice long chat, sitting in the kopitiam for more than two hours. Later in the afternoon Angeline and me went to the post office to collect her parcel. It's under renovation so it's pretty a mess there. Then we went to watch 'The day the Earth stood still', which talked about an Alien coming to the Earth who intended to save the Earth by destroying mankind. It again focused on bringing out the message on the activities that human being is doing on Earth that will one day destroy it. We really need to change in order to save our living place. After that we walked to WismaSanyan for a walk, i ate a set of Chicky Meal! I got a Spongebob waist watch for my little brother, from Chicky Meal...Hahaha...

MLM, SeeYi's house gathering, Prayer Hill, Result

2008-12-09T19:39:00.005+08:00

Went for GB's MLM, Million Leaders' Mandate, training last Sunday and Monday. It's to equip people to become leaders in Christ. I was blur in everything, maybe it's holiday which takes my heart away from all the talks, guess i haven't reach the standards...

Walked to SeeYi's house right away after the training with YuXuan. We were an hour earlier to reach there, SeeYi didn't believe it when her mom told that we arrived at her house. Later people came, and the organizer came late, everyone grumbled because she had the food with her. We had a great time seeing each other, chatting. Everyone has their own interesting stories to tell, it's a wonderful night. I went home with a nearly-burst stomach, after drinking cups and cups of hua sheng tang... It's really tasty, i liked it very much... Hehe...

(Me, Winnie, SiewMo, Emily)

Went to Sibu Full Gospel Church's conference yesterday with David at Prayer Hill. This's the first time i went there and the place's not as what i imagined. It's big place with a number of buildings among the trees and grasses which can hardly be seen outside. There's a rabbit farm too. I think the organization is very neat where everyone in the church has a role, some do the cooking, some do cleaning... There're various types of fruit trees there that are all managed by the church members. I was a guest so i enjoy relaxing there. Three Taiwan pastors are invited to come to preach. Each one talks on different topics. It's a blessing to go there, to listen to the word of God, and to know how the church works.

Checked my result and very happy with it because it is higher than what i aimed for. However after knowing my classmates' results i feel less happy with it already. Guess i can't compare myself with other people, need to work hard for the time to come. Jia you!

The Victorious Lamb

2008-12-05T21:23:00.002+08:00

The Victorious Lamb - An Exposition on the Book of Revelation, is written by Rev Dr Tie King Tai, the current principal of Methodist Theological School, Sibu.

An excerpt from the book:
At a party, a doctor was chatting with a lawyer. Their chatting was interrupted buy a woman. The woman insisted on telling the doctor about a pain in her leg. She asked the doctor what to do about it. The doctor advised her. After she went away, the doctor asked the lawyer,"Do I have a right to send that woman a bill for my professional services?" The lawyer replied,"Certainly." The next day the doctor sent the woman a bill to charge her for his advice. But the doctor also received a bill-from the lawyer. He was also charged by the lawyer for the lawyer's advice of one word-"certainly". This lawyer is truly marvelous in sending the doctor a bill! (pg 154)

Some quotes:
Many people go on living a sinful life today as if there would be no judgment at all; as if they are not accountable for what they are doing today.

We are all born with determination, we just need to use it.

Faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing; it is impossible for it not to do good continually. It never asks whether good works are to be done, but has done them before there is time to ask the question, and it is always doing them.

We need to rule our time, our life, our family, our work, our study, and so on with excellence - we need to act like a king to do the excellent job for God in all the things we do now.

It's a great book which explains The Book of Revelation in detail, and it challenges Christians to rethink our relationships with God. Are we prepared for the day to come? For "the time is near" and "the day of the Lord will come like a thief"

(My lunch, the rice is plenty...)

(Dora, eating SarawakLaksa)

The words on our keyboard are fading off, it's not a problem for me but my little brother suffers from it...

Before 30 years old

2008-12-01T00:58:00.000+08:00

I've just finished reading Pastor Philip Mantofa's autograph, namely Before 30 Years Old. He is a person of great passion and commitment to God, having an intimate relationship to God, God uses him to bless so many people. The book talks about his journey of receiving God as his master and how he brings revival to churches in Indonesia and churches around Asia. He challenges Christians to give our lives fully to Lord Jesus which requires a great sacrifice.

Some quotes from the book:

"When you fail you plan, you plan to fail."

"If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first learn to respect his strength."

"My body, listen to me and follow my rules!"

Another quote i heard in church this morning, when Pastor Lau preached on how to become a true disciple for Christ:

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot give to gain that which he cannot lose" - Jim Elliot.

Pastor Lau said, "Being a disciple of Christ pays a price, however, not being a disciple of Christ pays a greater price."

It's time to pray~

Yohoho...

2008-11-28T23:31:00.000+08:00

I had my first bible reading this morning at home this holiday. Pray that i'll continue doing it, not neglecting every precious word that God wants to speak to me through the bible.

(mom-cooked bubur caca)

Went out with mom again today and finally mom bought a blouse for herself, which she's been looking for some time already. It's me who told her this is too old, that is too old for her that she couldn't set her mind of buying which. Haha... Mom cooked again bubur caca, it's very very tasty... i ate 80% of it! She scolded me for eating so much at first when i finished off half pot, but later at night i found out it hadn't been touched at all... So i've to finish it off because it'll turn bad tomorrow... Nah, mom, if i'm not gonna eat it, who will?

Read a bit more of Angel-Vengeance, it's very interesting! Angel is going to surrender himself to the devil to help him in his missions... He's so helpless now... I'm looking forward for the next chapter...

Finally i attended taekwondo training after being reminded by coach yesterday... Siew wen also came, and coach, after seeing us, asked, "Is food in KL more nutricious that you gurls all turn bigger when you come back?" I nearly fainted hearing that. Ya i can't deny that i become bigger, stronger (like what my brother said, physically...),more meaty... sigh... Everybody said that to me when i come back... SiewMo even worse... How come....

Angel said this in the book, "Well, if there's one thing I know how to handle, that's temptation."

I hope i can do that, junk food temptation.

(kampua i ate last week...)

(diang-mian-ngu)

I started going outing with friends this week. On Tuesday we went to school to get my stpm cert, we bumped into our principal, he asked,"Which year's students were you?" Apparently he doesn't really remember us... The school becomes more beautiful with more little gardens, though some say it's becoming to look like a kinder garden with colourful track roads and 'useless' statues (there're hibiscus statue and a deer statue), i like it very much. Later that night i went out for a dinner with UngUng and SuYi, we had a great time talking.

Yesterday i went out with Angeline, Edwina, SiewMo and KimYing. Freya, Ed and me went to chit chat at sanyan first at 2pm. We did a long chatting, talking about our journeys out of sibu to each of our own uni. It's very delighting as it looked like we were back to our old days that we chat and laugh loudly like we own the place... Haha... Thanks, Freya for the watch and jelly you gave me... ^ ^ Later Mo and Kim came joined us to watch Madagascar, it's so funny! I like the movie very much... I found the giraffe in it looked a lot like one of the Teslians, Jared... Hahaha...

This morning i had breakfast with KimYing and Sherlyn, Sherlyn's still so miao-tiao... Then i had an outing with KimYing to those old shopping centre in sibu... We had a great time walking around... I ate diang-miang-ngu again, this time i manage to take the picture... It's again, delicious. Yam yam...

The Lord’s Prayer

2008-11-22T00:13:00.000+08:00

Read this from makeadifference.com, TheLordPrayerMovie, now i have more understanding on what The Lord's Prayer is about.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in Heaven
Our Heavenly Father aligns my thinking; expand my understanding as I seek connection with you first, before everything else.

Hallowed be thy name
I praise and honor you by the way I treat your creations. Through your grace, I experience your wholeness and perfection.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
May your divine order be accepted and practiced throughout the world. Rich, loving Father show me the way.

On earth as it is in Heaven
May I be awaken to your direction and your divine wisdom that you have place within me.

Give us this day our daily bread
I trust that, with your guidance all my needs and divine desires will be provided for.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
Help me to forgive others’ mistakes, so that I may be forgiven mine.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
Life me up over times of challenge and despair, steady and strengthen me through your power to make choices that cause no harm to myself or others.

For yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever.
As your divine child, I accept my heritage to your Kingdom, I feel your power within me, and I demonstrate your Glory by shining my light as I experience joy and Oneness with you, to be a living example of what humanity can be, now and forever…

Amen

Inspiring text

2008-11-21T22:59:00.000+08:00

A friend sent this to my via hotmail:

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, no. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, no. His spirit is whole. His body is just temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, no. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it's learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, no. I give you blessings; happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, no. Suffering draws you away from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, no. You must grow on your own, but i will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that i might enjoy life.
God said, no. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

This Day is yours, do not throw it away.

May God bless you, To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might just be the world.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord make his face shine upon you, and give you peace forever.

Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Being relaxing at home lately, reluctant to go out until this morning when my mom asked me out to walk and shop around, ate a bowl of diaa-miang-ngu, it's still as nice as before... Been treated as queen at home, though still need to help out in the house chores, but at least nobody will bother me sleeping for the day. I sleep a lot lately, and will sleep for 24 hours a day if i didn't schedule myself to do something. Home's, as usual, messy, big brother's still as stubborn as usual, but i see growing-up in my little brother... He's taller, though annoying, he can take my things in the highest cupboard without standing on the chair, and he can read english words now! I couldn't believe it until i asked him to read the text in his english exercise book... It's impressive, i can remember him struggling to read a word in english a few months ago... I'm now reading Angel-Not Forgotten, it's good. Yay i love Angel series... ^ ^

Home sweet home

2008-11-18T16:43:00.001+08:00

Yay back at home after four months and three weeks in kl, here i am in the same old Sibu. The airport is still small, the roads are still bad, Masland Church is still in renovation, there's not much difference here. My beloved pillow and bed welcomed me, and i came home finding a pot of bubur caca and tofu soup. Yay they are all mine.... wahaha... Thanks mom for preparing those for me.^ ^ Am going to make a schedule to complete all readings and movies... ganbatte myself, happy holiday everybody.

TESL, Sem I 2008/2009

2008-11-16T07:16:00.000+08:00

Another two days I’ll be going back to Sibu. Another three hours I’ll leave my laptop. This is the end of my course, TESL, my very first sem, for four and a half months. It’s really a blink of an eye, four months’ gone. I’ve nearly forgotten everything I did until I glanced through my photo album in my laptop the other day, it’s an amazing time I’ve spent here!

Taking this course makes me realize how limited my English language is and how urgent it is for me to improve my language, or it’d be my future students’ learning to be affected, and my future job to be gambled. Aside from this I do learn something, on teaching methods and more on language. In Prof G’s class we played games and looked at different approach to teach English; Pn Norini’s class we focused on teaching literature, especially on reader response; Dr. Rashid’s class we learned more about linguistics; KM class we knew how to use the library resource; Dr Wendy’s class we looked at the ethnics relation in our country; Ms Charity’s class we looked at different literature texts; and Dr Sabeshan’s class we learned more about physical education. It’s unbelievable I took seven courses in this short period of time, though I understand I’m no longer in high school anymore, it’s still amazing to find myself still survive after all the late-night-assignments, unnecessary suppers, club meetings, endless outing, spend-thrift-ing, and endless chatting. I’m glad I come here to UM, to this course, to seven college, that I know many kind and lovely course mates, friends and seniors.

First I’d like to mention my BigHand seniors, namely YeePheng, YenTing, Anna and HorngCheng, whom I wrote letters to during CC interaction week. It’s joyful knowing them, especially Anna who’s the first senior I went out with, to the church. Anna’s a cute yet mature person who has a personality of her own, I like especially to go out with her, we call it outing. I’m looking for more trips with her, though it won’t be often next sem, I’ll still enjoy it. YeePheng and YenTing are very standard seniors who always gives advice to me, on how to deal with college things, while I usually meet HorngCheng at IS studying, I call him hardworking-people.

My roommates, ChengKim and MengChui, who come from Kuching and Kajang. MengChui goes home every weekend so our room will look bigger every weekend. She is a quite person with strong mathematical skills. She’s really good in it. I hope to have more talking with her, to know her more… ChengKim never leaves the college and she will sleep with the lights on when I’m not in the college. She’s a nice girl who always takes care of the rooms’ cleanliness. She mops the floor, washes the fan, helps me tidy my messy desk, thanks ya my dearest roommate, I’m such a troublesome person…

My (closer) course mates,
Lesley is a girl who is very talented in musical field, knowledgeable, I always feel joy talking with her, especially while discussing about Christianity and the bible.

Amy, who is monkey-liked, is very cute (monkey cute), she is very serious with her studying. I hope I can have half of here seriousness...

Yin Yin’s another hardworking person, who seldom comes out for activity, rather, I guess, maybe, studying.

Crystal, very good in singing and dancing, a girl with unique personality, and whose feeling is always EVOKED by literature texts, I like her reading poems, full of emotion.

June, who likes to read, I hope I can read her whole collection, is a very cheerful girl, very knowledgeable as well, though sometimes got a little bit over-reacting on Lesley, it’s her cheerful personality that always draw laughter in the gang.

Melissa, a firm God-believing girl. I admire her for her able-to-open-up-herself personality, she can cry when she wants to cry, laugh loudly and crazily when she wants to laugh, sing when she wants to sing, crap loudly when she wants to crap… Haha… Thank you Melissa very much for praying with and for me before the examinations. Let’s go church together next sem.

Shangeetha, a year younger than us, a girl who is very good in English, will stand firm to her own opinion, Hope we can work better together next time, in assignments. God bless and remember to come to church.

KaiChur, a girl who is very firm in religion, an admirable and caring person she is, like to be with her. I’d have to thank her for her willingness to accompany me study before every paper, enjoy studying with her. One thing to KC, can I always be the 2-year-old girl with you? Ehehe…

ShinYen, we have a number of things in common, both of us like JayChou, have a brother who we have to buy clothes to, speak the same dialect. She’s according to KC, aunty balia, is too a knowledgeable girl whom I want to keep up with. My potential big sister… AhYen sister please go set up a blog and play blogging la…

FeiMian, another girl younger than us, really little girl, very emotional girl, likes to cry a lot.She seems to know everything about artists and songs… Both of us have serious lazy bug inhabited in our body so sometimes when we are together the lazy state will grow to the peak and, well… lazy bug club…

Jared, a smiling person, you can always see him smiling, though dunno what he is smiling about, but I always feel joy and peace seeing that. An adorable person who can speak mandarin but not tamil… always feel stress –less with him…

PKV gang,
Alan, new outing-club president, always bringing the outing club member out, I had fun outing with him. I believe we can make pkv CM better.

Wan Zhao, who is very generous in bringing junior around in her car, though she likes to go into wrong direction… Had fun outing with her once in a while, she is a very lovable person.

Jen Hann, ex-president, who is strong in faith, looking forward to talk more about faith with him…

Christopher, talkative person, really talk non-stop until you feel like slapping him in the face, but he is good in person and he’s really good in outing… hope got more time to go outing with him next time.

Oh ya, Buddy! JiaJia buddy is always cute, especially with her voice, she provides me with notes and advices everytime I need it or even when I don need it… haha thanks ya buddy…

Another one, SzeSze who’s a DBSK lover, seldom do I find DBSK lover here and she’s an extreme one… hahaha…get all the latest musics and videos of DBSK from her, a delightful senior who also always gives us advice and opinion on everything…

There are so many stunning people here in the campus who I can’t mention all… glad to meet with everyone… ^ ^

Last but not least, my dearest sister! She's always busy with her college and church and she's the one who always decline outing invitation, from me, of course. I always want to go out with her,to spend more time with her, walking, talking, eating, everything... Got to catch every free moment both she and i have to go out, right, Ing?

From a blur-blur-dunno-anything-state during orientation until now still-blur-blur-but-know-something state, I’m glad that God guide me through. He is always with me, comforting me when I’m weak, though I regret for not seeking him earlier and thoroughly, I believe I can do better in seeking him for the time to come. Now I realize why my dad prohibited me to study account in local college but ask me to go to form six. I believe it’s the work of God who has everything planned for me, I just have to follow and be obedient and do my best in everything with his guidance and love… Yes Lord, thank you for everything.

Exam Over, Outing, ByeBye Laptop

2008-11-16T04:37:00.000+08:00

Yay i had my last paper, Introduction to Methology in Literature DONE! Though i didn't really prepare for it, and though i did the most clever thing in the day, forgot to bring my pencil case, and the exam hall was like North Pole, wanna freeze people till death, but i finally made it through, wahaha... Free!

We went to MidValley right away after that, ten of us, Teslians. We had dinner at SushiKing, i ate OFF an amount of money there again, then we took a lot of shock sendiri photos there, but it would be better if the 'SushiGuy' had a better skill in takng photos. Later we went to watch movie, Ten Promises To My Dog, it's supposed to be touching, yes it's touching, but not touching enough for me to cry, though my eyes were a little wet, i heard some people sobbing so loudly that i felt sad for them... If there was a crying competition tonight, the champian would be Mian, first runner up would be Melissa, then second runner up KaiChur. Others all got consolation prizes, no one was left out, because everybody participated in it. Haha... We finished our movie at eleven something pm, and we took a Rm12 taxi back to campus. No choice, it's late, kena makan lor...(Girls, Jared was the photographer, good job Jared!)
(Lesley looking right to the camera, June looking dunno-where, Mian shock sendiri kissing maybe-Lesley, KaiChur obviously concentrating on eating...)

It's 5am now i'm here typing, my beloved laptop will leave me in four hours. I've to hand it over to my sister later when the sun rises, goodbye laptop, i'll miss you, all musics and movies that are in you, see you things later after six weeks... Muaks...

I was doing revision in Kaichur’s place when Bell gave me my bday gift, on Nov 12 night, it’s the laptop bag that I thought of buying in second semester! I was interested in it since I saw it a few weeks ago when I went to Digital Mall with Bell and Ung. Now it’s in my hand, a precious bday gift from Anna aka BellBell aka BigHand, Jess aka neighbour, Fish, ChiaSing aka JiaJia aka buddy, LiChin aka smooth, Alan aka UngUng aka president, WeiLiem, KaiChur aka Kaichu, ShinYen aka AhYen, Arul, Shangeetha, Melissa aka Molestsa, FeiMian aka Mian, ChengKim aka JingJing aka roommate, MengChui aka roommate, SuYi aka secretary, Gregory aka Gaygory, Ke Sin aka Crystal aka KeKe, Jun Hui aka June, Amy aka AhMi, Lesley, Sharon, WeiYin, SingEe and PheiShi, thank ya all for the gift and greeting, I really appreciate it, and again to JiaJia buddy for the cute doggy, Ing for the octopus paper clip, YeePheng BigHand for the bracelet, Andrew for blue-ing church songs to me, YenTing BigHand for the encouraging year planner, YinYin for TheBodyShop thingy and everyone else who sent greetings to me…^_^

Last night my classmates gave me an unexpected surprise celebration, though it’s been spoiled by Bell’s sms, it’s still very delighting. They got me a bday cake, square, with two lollipops in the middle as the candles, I’d to bite both the ‘candles’ out in one go, thanks to KaiChur’s BRILLIANT idea, it’s heart-warming. Lucky I wasn’t being pushed into the little-pretty-but-a-bit-dirty fish pond in our college, I’ve seen so many people be being pushed into the pond for the past few days… I’d have to thank Nana, ShiWei and PoayHoon for dropping by too…

It’s a really blessed day that I know that God provide everything for me. He sends his blessings to me via all the people around me, it’s by his grace and mercy that I’m here surrounded by so many lovely people though I’m not at home with my family. ^ ^ Am listening to a song… “… where would I be if not for love, where would I be if not for grace…”

Nov 9

Moi went outing with Alex, my hometown-mate again. We met at KL central and had our breakfast there. Later we went to Popular in Pasar Seni to buy book for my brother, The Last Lecture, chinese version's. Then we went to Times Square, just roaming around and i saw the book i bought in a bookshop there, which the price was 50% lower than what i bought at Popular. I was so HAPPY seeing that... Humph... Later we also went to Sungai wang to look for a christian book store but i couldn't find it. Sigh dunno where did it go... Our outing ended at 5.30 pm, moi went back with a few brand new books, muahaha... But one thing which is disappointing is that i couldn't find Reader Digest September issue... sigh who have it?

Nov 10

We were preparing for linguistics test, and it got more exciting when we knew that the open-book-test had become a closed-book test. How NICE it is, now we had to memorize everything which we didn't think of memorizing. Everybody felt tense and stressed, and cursing (yes, it's not right) the lecturer for the sudden change. At night the third years, xue qien, and moi celebrated my big hand's birthday. She's surprised and was very cute when she was asked to take the candles out from the cakes. Happy Birthday, da shou!

Nov 11

Linguistics test! Ok it turned out the test questions were all from what we did as assignments, like what he told us before, though we didn't really believe it and went to read more notes aside from those questions. It's not tough, but due to my laziness i forgot something which i shouldn't have forgotten. So finally my mark was only 35.6 over 40 while so many got marks more than that. Later in the afternoon i felt so exhausted i slept off for the whole afternoon. I wonder why, everytime when there's exam i'll feel sick. Last week when i had my first paper i caught cold and had runny nose for the whole day. Then in my second paper i feel fever, it's not really fever but it's something like you feel hot in you body which makes you very uncomfortable, and sore throat. Sigh dizziness go away...

In the evening i went out with yen to SS2 to have our dinner. We were supposed to go murni but later we ended up in a chinese 'mamak'. We had a great time there, eating something not found in the campus... muahaha... However the outing didn't end as what we thought it should be. We went up a wrong bus, thinking it would bring us back, apparently it didn't. We made a tour in pj on the bus, a time-consuming tour, since we are still having exam, and we were so panic until finally we saw the kl gate of um. Moi pressed the bell button when saw a bus stop nearby but the bell didn't work. So we missed two bus stops before the bus really stopped for us, and it's quite a distance from the kl gate already... So we walked all the way back to the gate and luckily jumped on a taxi BUT the taxi took us on a wrong way so we took another tour again in the campus before we reached out college. Overall we took an hour to get back to our college while it's supposed to be twenty minutes, and we wasted quite a sum of money on our transportation back.

At night we celebrated sze sze's birthday. Happy Birthday Sze Sze! One of the few DBSK admirer i found in the college, and she really likes them, especially Xiah Junsu... She is a very admirable girl, with great personality and always ready to help when we have questions, and of course, spreads her DBSK love, wahaha... Finally i got the DVDs from her, looking forward to watch them when the exam's over.

Nov 12

Here i am, once again... I should be memorizing PJK notes... Sigh lazy again... Why??? Bell and gang will be going to Cheras pasar malam today...ee....envy envy...

Another Saturday

2008-11-08T23:59:00.000+08:00

(Photo taken with bell and francis while waiting for van)

Ok i broke my own promise. I'm supposed to study Pn Norini's note today, yet i haven't read any. I'm supposed to read it now but i'm here blogging. Humph...

Today went church and i did my first-time-ever pledge to the church building fund. How do i feel? I'm not sure. I was very confused about the figure at first, or to say, until the moment i wrote down the number, i felt relief. Never did i give such an amount to the church, i guess this is a new start for me. It's true, action is always harder than words and it's time to let the action works.

Tonight i had an expensive dinner. I had mixed rice which i took toufu and vege, it costs RM2.50. I didn't have small change with me so i gave RM10 to the obasan then i waited for my change, but she gave me only RM2.50. She insisted that i gave her RM5, while the truth is i gave her RED RM10 note! There're only red notes in my purse so i was pretty sure i was right but she wouldn't listen to me. "You are wrong girl you only give me RM5, don say liao, you are wrong....." Bla bla bla, in a very sien way and a very annoying expression. Ok obasan you are SO right... i dun wan to argue with you, spoil my mood only. I was so angry, couldn't say anything more, just took my food and ate, for my stomach's sake... I think i was too soft... Should i argue with her instead? Consumer rights... Donation to obasan... which one is better?

One thing which made me felt warm was Kevin's treat on my drink. Thanks ya Kevin. At least i didn't feel as tense as when i just sat down after getting the food.

Again i learn something from church, not to mention the unhappy incident, overall i feel this is another blessed day. Though we also wasted two hours waiting for the van driver to go and come back from church, it's still a day i should rejoice on. Yes, I believe that God will provide everything for me, if only i have a little bit more faith.
