Exciting events of 2013

Last post of this year I supposed
Gotta say bye bye to 2013 and Hi to 2014
This has been a year full with events and new experiences
First of all had been several trips made with different bunches of people
Had my first trip to Thailand earlier of this year
First time I've been to Thailand, and we did all the planning
It was a little bit rushy as far as I can remembered but memorable especially it was my first time going on trip to island (Phuket) and snorkelling

And in that same long summer break prior to final semester of this degree
I spent last few days of Chinese New Year in Penang
My first time to travel so far in bus, for approximately 6 to 7 hours to this heaven for backpacker
*IMO la* haha
Due to my newbie-ness in that place, I was brought around to places with good food and views
Started to put my camera to real use
But mainly focused on views, Plants and Insects hahaha
Hence it served the purpose when I visit Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si having special lighting deco for CNY
I had kept them busy for around 2 or 3 days and that's it for my first visit =)

Then the semester started and ended, we were all very exciting about that
Finally we're done with this Degree (filled out 3 years life with assignments, reports, exams)
But not to forget fun + great people we met and shared memories with
Had short trip to Pulau Tioman with 4 buddies who were never absent throughout these 3 years
The trip had given us some unforgettable memories, especially with the changing of place to meet with people from resort that we had paid for
Got nervous for a whole day before beginning of the trip
Luckily it ended well with an add-on short stay where we were trapped in Mersing
*no bus back to KL*

Paid another visit to Heaven for backpacker again afterwards
but with a different purposes
First it was a pitstop for me before I meet up with fren to go on Koh Lipe trip
Second was to enjoy the place as a real random tourist
Familiarised myself with the route of buses as they were my main transportation to move from places to places
Visited few locations but trapped in da house with broken internet connection due to rainy season
*bad planning, forgotten about weather forecast*
Then had more shocking experiences when I headed to Thailand + to the Lipe Island
This was the longest trip, with highest numbers of shocking events and of course, most memorable
The ending of this trip was marked by attending my cousin sister's Convo in USM
Joined the family and share the joy =D

And then it was my Convo!
It was a rare chance for frens and buddies to fly from East M'sia and meet face to face again!
After we were parted when the trip ended
Had limited time to really have good long chat as each of us need to bring family members around
We treasured the moment by snapping more photos and clapping so hardly when each one spent about 10 seconds receiving the Degree from Chancellor of University
Hope the frenship can be long lasting as we wish it to ^^

And finally the Christmas Brunch Buffet with frens in Casa Del Rio
It was worth the experience, but we're not used to the food >.<
Most of the food served did not meet our taste *but sausage was damn delicious*
And wide variety of dessert
Favourite was self customized ice cream with toppings
Anyhow, we had good time chatting and laughing about those food and also the high class washroom
Come with daily newspapers pasted on wall and hand moisturiser, mouth wash and hand wash shampoos

Last, biggest event of the year and involved all closed relatives
Marriage of cousin brother
There were 2 dinners, first in Penang (again) and then in Malacca
It feels great to be able to help out in several events including some of the traditional ceremonies
First time I've seen 22 years old "kid" to jump on bed of this newly-wed couple hahaha
It was great to see things work out successfully and how cousins offered helping hands in times of need
Shall post some pictures captured during this trip to PG and dinner in both PG + Mlk
It was tiring to play multiple role and I've got 12 hours sleep as a reward for myself

Wish they live happy ever after as husband and wife and perhaps I can meet baby in future if I get the chance to visit them again? Hahaha
Great events, great time, great people, great life
Love this life I live in :-)

There's always a reason to smile, smile more to brighten up the day of urself and others

Now I shall live second life in dream for the day
*I'll add another post with photos from events listed here*

THE

END
