Journal



The last day of February which didn't have 29th, 30th and 30th day, this seriously make me feel that time could really flies fast (fly like a G6?). Don't know why, I feel tired for the whole day while I already had enough sleep last night. Might be a sign telling me that I'm getting older? This ain't true, I'm still young. Laugh out loud. Didn't paid attention during my class, was chit-chatting with my coursemates and playing our phone. Was planning for another getaway, just some of us I think. We'll see then.


Updated my blog frequently in this month, almost everyday with a new post. Write down all happenings around me with a help of a photo, make this blog look alive. I think I'm gonna get myself a journal, I'm quite picky for the thing I love, so it'll be the best when I have one. Yeah, not like, but love. Always, actions speak  louder than words, will just talk about it when I really have one.

I wish I am who I am. I wish you can turn and look for me.

Hello, Good morning!



Started my day with a cheerful catchword: "Hello, Good morning!" at McDonald's Auto City. Didn't had my breakfast over there since I had it before that. They are doing promotion for the breakfast, family bucket with a rational price. Like the Sausage McMuffin with Egg still, never change since the first time I tried it.


Went back to UKM again, used up all my energetic during this weekend, a substantiate one. Hope to have this moment again. :)

Ceremony



Ai Leng woke up at 6a.m. and went to the bridal house for make-up, and the rest of us were later than her, bride always the tired one. I were in pink and white, matched the theme. Everyone started to feel nervous when the time was near. Groom and best mans reached, started to make noise and wanted to go in the bungalow without giving any ang pow. We guarded the door with our life.


Games started, nothing overladen, so nice to see all the brothers willing to sacrifice for the groom. Groom was doing his best to pass every barrier that were given by bridesmaids. One by one, he managed to got up to the room, and here came the last one: he sang a love song to Chuk Leng's sister. Door opened, and she sat in the middle, smiled happily and looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.


He grabbed his wife at last, I heard that they were in a relationship for long time, since form 6 if not mistaken. Followed by tea ceremony and the family photos. Then they went to pray at temple before head back to groom's house.


I didn't followed them, too tired for me to do anything after did so much in the morning. Just stayed over there to have my lunch, do some cleaning stuff and listen to the elder's cackle. While everyone were busy preparing for the barbecue, me, Chuk Leng and Mei Leng were out to Bed to have some rest. Played some easy games with a sip of coffee, and it was free of charge. Giggle. That's good to have friends at everywhere. Back to bungalow and had my dinner before the barbecue, then grabbed some sausages and chickens. Mahjong time for the Lim's family, I'm just a newbies and not dare to play with all the master-hand.

Elders were back, youngers stay over, so am I. Chatted a lot with Mei Leng, quite a funny conversation with her. Another tired night for me, but I did enjoyed.

Wedding Dinner



As I said, I'm going back to my hometown this weekend, attending wedding dinner of my friends. There were 2 wedding dinner for the weekend indeed, I just went to one of it (Chuk Leng's sister-Ai Leng's wedding), didn't have much time to go for another. Started to depart at 4.30 in the morning and reach Penang at 9a.m., so I started my day with a tired mode, thanks to his aunty for the ride.


Helped his sister to choose the corsages for her best mans and bridesmaids, going to use it for the next day while she was doing her manicure and pedicure. The theme color is in pink, so I chose champagne roses, it should match the pink color well with its elegance color tone. Went to buy some necessary for the wedding, and checked all the items. Used my little time to dress up before the wedding dinner (dinner is before the wive ceremony because restaurant was fully reserved by others). Didn't brought camera along since it was a busy night for all the people, and they did had some professional photographer over there to capture their precious moment. 

Back to the rented bungalow to prepare for the traditional ceremony and I only got my bath after prepared the fruits and Tang Yuan


He was the photographer and video-man of the day, of course for the next day too. This was the first time for me to witness the hair combing ceremony. A good experience, I can help my sister up during her wedding, did I mentioned I'm my sister's bridesmaid? :)


Ended the day with a feverish mood, keep thinking how will the ceremony looks like few hours later, it's going to be awesome and fun!

Inconceivability



Was worry about my internship although I had already got one company which willing to accept me as the trainee. Been heard that they wouldn't give us any allowance, and I need to pay for the toll by myself if I travel to Butterworth everyday. It's quite costly for 3 months together with the petrol. Now, I just got the confirmation letter from them after 2 months waiting for that. Here comes the letter:


Did you noticed something? They did stated in the letter to give me allowance for that 3 months. It is great indeed, feel happy for that.

Refreshant



Like what my coursemate said: We have exam every week, how can we concentrate on our lab work and thesis? This is true, the dead line is anear yet we are still working on our lab work, the way we get our result is like dip by dip, too slow for us. Can we make it on time? I can't go to the 14th New Tune Live Performance (NTLP) this year I think, need to rush my fyp. Did I tell you that, I started to like Jess Lee's (the champion of One Million Star) voice after listened to her singing at the 12nd NTLP. Applause.


Getting more and more tired in class, sometimes I do doze off while my lecturer still giving his lecture, that's why I need some sweet to give myself a lift. First time to try the Eclipse's blackcurrant flavor, quite new for me. I do like it, by the way, it is in purple! I got my GC result finally, can you guys peek it?

Water-crisis



Never met this problem during my first year (okay, maybe just for a few times, 1 or 2 the most), but now we face it every week. We live in fear, Laugh out loud, fear for no water supply at our hostel. This happen twice a week, at least! Then we thought after few times, the problem will be settled, it proved us wrong when  this happen on us again and again. Can we have a peaceful life for the last 2 months?


I'm okay with no internet access, lousy food, but please, I can't live without water and electricity supply. Hey, people, it's time for us to love our mother earth. Proud to say that, Penang is doing so, no plastic for whole week, the quote: Greener Cleaner Penang.

Melody



Here comes our UKM's election day, the last chance for me to vote in my uni life, but this year isn't as jolly as last two years, or people were bored with these kind of thing when we come to 3rd year? Was thinking about how is the election for our state and country look like, should be clamorous. By the way, I'm the electorate already, will have chance to throw my holiness vote in this year. Teehee.
Kept plenty of vouchers in my wallet (did I mention before, it is hand-made? Giggle), got some new vouchers last night, given by my roomie. They're GreenBox's vouchers, valid until end of March. Anyone? Will only available after 18th of March, my doomsday.

Doodle



Sisters and friends who haven't get their 'name tag' please be patient, I'm now working on it, just found my enthusiasm back to doodle again. The busy life is driving me crazy until I don't have the passion to take up my pen to draw something nice after since. I finally make some time for that after today's exam (actually I do have another paper on coming Thursday, yet I feel to get myself a day rest), luckily my skill didn't get rusty for lack of practice, just I need more inspiration for my design, short of new ideas now. Anyone?

A pie in the sky



Found a little sweet note on the top of my table when I woke up in the morning, from Jayne. She went out to NECC (National Elephant Conservation Centre) trip with coursemates and lecturer before the dawn. Will be facing the toughest subject of mine tomorrow, and the notes are killing me, even when I finished them, I still not really understand what they are talking about. Screw the Chemical Bio-Organic. Oops, please bear with my rudeness for a day, I'll bury them in my grave yard after this paper. 



. . . . . . . . . . .


I hope it can be true, the plan we had talked about, the thing that I have dream about for times, sooner or later I'll sure get it.
You trust the talent that I've, and I trust the brain that you've.

Love is in the air



'If nothing last forever, would you be my nothing?' I saw this sweet note over here. If you're free, vote for the photos you like.
Like what Michelle said, "Love is in the air". I'm still finding my prince charming, he's just wander around and didn't find a right path.
Something worth having is something worth waiting for.

[There are many things around you, but you never really use your eyes nor your heart to see it; That's why you never noticed.]
My friend wrote in at somewhere, and I just rephrase it. Kind of bitter when I read this.
I think the friend wanted to say: You never noticed me, and your little blur-ness is enough for you to miss out a lot of things.

Do you get it?


. . . . . . . . . . 


I grab the photo from here. I'm impressed by the photos, because everyone of them can tell you a story.

Sweety



Got this little hearty nougat cranberry from my coursemate, Kok Choon (I think so, as what they said). Haven't taste it yet, it's still lying on my desk, I think I'll eat it after my Sunday's paper. That is a tough subject, yet I'm now still procrastinate, feeding my bloggie a post.
Going to attend a wedding dinner next week I guess, if everything is going smooth. 
Good luck to all my friends who are facing their mid-semester exam, doing their fyp, and also finding company for internship.
Best wishes :)

Detox



Raining for days, and we were so lazy to walk in the rain and get our dinner. So what we can do is eat whatever we can find in our hostel.
I got no bread, no biscuits (currently out of stock), no instant mee (I have it, just it's bad for health, so I'll just ignore its existence) etc.
I just have my milo and cereal, and that's my dinner I ate for 4 days continuously, I would say this isn't a proper dinner for me; I need something more, something like rice? Mmmm Mmmm, I miss my yummylicious rice every night.

Caffeine



Sleep is one of the great mysteries of life; 6 to 8 hours sleep per night is more than enough for a adult like us.
It's seems like I never got enough sleep during the night, and will try to remedy during the day, after my class or whenever I'm free.
15 minutes would be enough for a snooze to chase off the tiredness; I always have my alarm off after it rang for the first time, and will just wake up naturally after I had enough sleep, this surely a bad habit, shouldn't waste my time for that.

Zen



This is the prolong post I procrastinated for days, a short one because I have a poor internet connection due to some problem now.


. . . . . . . . . .


It was something new for me when I first heard of the FGS Dong Zen Temple; FGS is a short form of Fo Guang Shan (佛光山东禅寺).
Lot of things to see including statues and great lighting during the night, I got the chance to go over in this CNY.
This temple wasn't easy to locate for those who doesn't have a good sense of direction, I mean me, yet I manage to remember the path.
Felt the peace when I stepped inside the temple, my mind was clear for a moment.

| Orchidaceous and the Hexapod |

| Entourage |

Less talk, whoopee more, and photos were definitely the most. Yet time was not enough for us to view all the places. We didn't got to snap photos at another places which displayed all the Chinese zodiac, what a grief.
Lights and statues fully cram the temple, somehow I felt it looks like the Lights Wonderland at I-City, Shah Alam, or even better.

| Candidly |

Wanted to show the Ferris Wheel yet I heart this piece of photo from Riko more, you can still peep a little part of it at the back.
Not much photo sharing here, I'm lazy like usual :)

Survive



We are seriously a wretch, we cannot online due to some problem, we thought that the router was spoilt because Zues was happily playing with his lightning bolt for days. In fact I heard that, they just closed it to prevent router spoil by the thunder.
We suffered for not able to online, got nothing to do with when we are bored, and surely we didn't have mood to study as well.
Games would be the best during this moment.
Obsess with a new game, Youda Survivor, it's kind of Robinson Crusoe's story, they just put it on game, the aim is: stay alive.

| Youda Survivor |

When I saw the voodoo inside the game, I felt it's quite familiar, I saw it before at other places. Then I recalled back the time I had my journey to the Pipit Market, that's the time I saw the voodoo.

He were wearing the M&M necklace if you noticed. He looked beaming isn't it?

The metamorphosis



Sometimes, you will feel that your life is difficult, decision-making is difficult, everything you want to do not going the way you wish.
Yet, we need to face it with a tough heart, you'll turn out great after some time, this is call the LIFE.
Prepare your armament, there's a war right in front of us, get it down with our own hands, we make war that we may live in peace.

Colorific



The ninth day of CNY is kind of important for Chinese to offer prayers to the Jade Emperor of Heaven, it is Jade Emperor's birthday.
We, the wretch, which didn't have the chance to go back our hometown, decided to celebrate the day together.
Went to their house to have some 'trembling' repertoire, why I said so? We went there to have cards game, which touch on money.
No win and no lose for me, I just got back what I had lost at the end of the game, I would say "I'm lucky", felt satisfy for what I got.
Along the way to have our supper, we saw sky lanterns were released in the middle of the sky, this surely super-induced the night piece, fireworks were bloomed beautifully together.

| Fattiness |

Oily food in the midnight, yet we enjoyed every bite without left. Had some trifle leisurely after the meal, a great night for me.


. . . . . . . . . .


Waiting for the photos to reach me, stay tuned again for prolong post.

Delicate snack



Traditional chinese cookies during CNY are the must-have item; friends and relatives are serve with these cookies when they visit you.
My house got variety of cookies, yet I didn't taste every one of it; no time for that, also I scare I ate too much.
I'm so lucky to have these cookies over here, my housemates brought some of it to share with us, not to forget the Bak Kua.
Gain weight during this holidays? Say NO.

The twenty lacy crepe layers



It's been late in night, I dozed off and woke up on time when my little Tehooo came back from her one day trip to Malacca.
She bought us the famous mille crepe, a French cake made of many crepes layer; from Nadeje Cake House.
The first time I came across with mille crepe was at my sister's 24th birthday; we ordered one French Vanilla flavored mille crepe with Dark Chocolate Shavings as the topping from Humble Beginnings.
So I'm preferring the mille crepe compare to the normal cake, not to say I'm picky, I just don't like the cake with lots of cream.

Feel blissful in this wee hours, thank you for the treacly mille crepe. :)

One and only



I got myself a hand-made wallet, kind of zakka's feel. Then you would ask, what does it means by zakka?
It refers to everything and anything that can improves your home, life and appearance. This design phenomenon is spread from Japan.
Bought the fabric that I love, and some accessories needed; my mom was wondering why I want to make it instead of buy one.
"I like", that's what I answered, although there has been a time that I felt lazy to make it my own.
I finished it during the CNY holidays, actually it is quite easy after you have the idea how to make it in your mind.

| Ravi de vous rencontrer |

I can make pieces of hand-craft by using the same fabric, I still have some of it. What's next?

Reality



Back to my university with holiday mood. I had a 7 hours bus ride from Penang to Kuala Lumpur, traffic jam along the Perak highway.
So, I reached here just before the dawn; specially thanks to our Mr. Ah Gan for fetching us back to hostel.
Not to say today, I'll only have my next class on Thursday! Other classes were canceled due to we need more time to study?
I shouldn't back this early right? But I'm glad I were here since this morning. Many things to settle with.
I need to chase off the CNY mood: Buh-bye.

Lattermost



The forth day of this Tuzi year, and my very last day in Penang; will be back to my uni later, alone in the hostel because housemates and roomie not coming back yet.
Why my holidays end so fast before I fully enjoy it? Not really wish to back there to face reality that fast.
Had my breakfast nearby my house: dim-sum. My second dim-sum session in this holiday. This make me feel better after-all.
Adios, Penang and my friends over here; will see you all soon in this coming May, I'll be back.

Reflorescene



Gong Xi Fa Cai. This has become my tag since yesterday, will just say it out once I meet with elders, relatives or friends.
It's time for all my cousins visit our place, all came at the same time; all need to squeeze in my cubby-house.
So many kiddos in my house, luckily they are not like a rascal; no fighting, no scareming, no crying and etc., quite obedient they are.
Took bunch of photos of the 7-months baby niece, chubby she. Will have a new-born baby in this coming April by another cousin.

The 1st day



Same like last year, we went to Balik Pulau to pay a chinese new year call; and ate the must eat Laksa and must drink nutmeg juice.
Next was my father's side, went to our aunty's house; coincidence, all of my cousins also went there too,
that's why the house was like a pasar, said my nephew. All of us were chit-chatting non-stop with each other that made him felt so.

Shinning sun



So, today is Chinese New Year Eve; went out early morning with sister to have a car-wash and ready for our lunch.
This year, we don't have broiling weather, just a mild one. Compare to other states which flooding and raining non-stop, I prefer ours.
Wish to share Penang's weather with you guys. *Giggle*
I'm here wishing you guys a Happy Chinese New Year, and enjoy our holidays to the fullest, don't stop before the excitement.

A day before



A day out with family before the chinese new year eve; I still remembered the time we went out exactly on chinese new year eve, headache with the jam-packed road, that's why we won't try another round this year.
Sister wanted to buy the shorts that she eye covetously for times, finally bought it after my entice. *Laugh out loud*
Bang into my secondary schoolmate, Qian Ru. Talked for awhile, so nice that she still can recognize me after all these years. 
Just simply chose a place to get a bite for our dinner. Decision-making phobia again.
