Semester Break!

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

(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...)

(instant curry paste brought from japan by ingchan)

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

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

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

2 Months

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 Jonathan helped... 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 get 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...

Keku~

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.

一がす最後の日

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...

Going back

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!
