她...

对她的第一个印象
小时候外婆家还很陌生（大部分时间在婆婆家）
踏入屋里的自然反应就是躲进房里，只因房外有她
这个她，不说话但会抢我手里的东西
无论我拿的是什么：玩具，书甚至从门外信箱的信件
当然有些是非常不愿意的交给她
如果不顺从她的意愿，随时就为你送上额外有力的“如来神掌”
让你享受难得一见的“满天星”
长大了些，结识了同命相怜的表哥姐弟妹
大家志同道合，决心不再过着受她‘欺凌’的日子，开始我们的‘报复’行动
大胆的拿了她的东西，接力式被她满屋追
直到累了或被外婆喝止才乖乖的还给她
当然我们军力单薄时，只好交出宝物然后由外婆偷偷的从她的藏宝屋拿给我们
那年代我们都称她为“怪兽”

踏入中学后，没有放学走路回外婆家的机会
当然也大大地减少在外婆家时间
外婆的身体也没之前健朗
除了负责载送我和哥哥来回学校，补习
妈妈也得照顾外婆和她的饮食
那时候还真可惜妈妈得每天奔波，因为除了妈妈没别人能喂她吃
有时真的没办法抽空，她甚至撒娇发脾气宁愿不吃
不是妈妈的车她也不愿去看医生
当时还真懊恼她怎么爱折磨妈妈？

这位她，就是我的二姨
在她小时候就因后天疾病成了聋哑人士
过后大多时间都只能呆在家里，成了外婆时时刻刻的陪伴
只要是带外婆出门吃好料，总得考虑该打包什么回家
她不能吃鸡肉，因为有发羊癫的病例
所以每当大节日庆典都必须特别买其它食物给她
拍大合照，她也成了决定性的人物
只要她能配合的看镜头都会惹得大家哄堂大笑！

但是，她是否认识我们？知道这些顽皮小孩是她的谁吗？
她，一句话都没说过
一点怨言都没有
我们只能从她的小动作，难以理解的发声猜测
她喜欢吃？她开心吗？她累了吗？
她想吃什么？想做什么？
我想真相只有她心里知道
只希望她和我们过的日子都是开心的，也希望她一路走好。。。

More words in memorial of this aunt by my cousin

Sleep > Work > Sleep....

The title pretty much sum up my daily routine

Except I've left out the eating and shopping bit >.<

To be honest, it never occurs to me that working can be so tiring

Or maybe It'll take some time for my body to adapt into it

Then I'll be able to schedule more activities into the routine!

The month passes at rapid pace with repetitive boring routine

Thinking back, there had been several events such as the Graduation of one of my ex-housemates and best frens!!

He's now officially a Monash Grads like us!

This event had also served as a gathering for some of us, who were able to present at the hotel as well as the lepak-ing in Setiawalk

Wish we'll have more gathering like this one, continuing with our endless chit chatting and unstoppable jokes or funny deeds =)

Then there was a mini gathering with old frens enjoying luxurious food and liquor in Ichizen and Hatten Hotel Alto Sky Lounge respectively

It's an extremely expensive nite we've spent, but worth it all enjoying quality moments with quality food

Too bad I gotta ciao earlier that day and having to work the 2nd day, or else we'd had continue chatting till closing hour of the sky lounge, then continued on somewhere else haha

Gotta start planning expenses for the official one month salary on the pay day within this week

Hopefully it'll start helping me to save up and ease financial burden of the family =D

人情味..温暖社会 =D

又回来了这被喻为大马之珠的州属

这次的到访，深深的看见，感受到当地人的热情加上乐于助人的精神

是通过自己肉眼看到的真实例子

茶餐室里，大家不分种族的用同一个方言点餐

巴士上互让座位，开心地聊天纵然是第一次碰面，只因有着共同语言

善良的巴士司机见外国游客没足够的零钱还车费
特许他免费上车
自己本身也体验过乘坐免费巴士
司机没顺路转进去目的地，其实可以拒绝载我们
不过他好心的载我们到路口，也告诉我们该走的方向

在自己Hometown 的经历让我对踏巴士最有印象的是
没零钱，就给纸钱(自己亏）
没给钱，别想上车

在 Butterfly Farm 里头也遇到了热心的 Aunty
她是里面的清洁工人，由于放工了
也会在里面徘徊，给于一些顾客帮助 （找指定的蝴蝶/虫）
还跟我们解释其中昆虫的习性和哪一些比较少见

Taxi driver 也不是没一个好心的
找着 Rubbish Is Art Exhibition 的地点时，遇见一位 TD 向我们打广告
介绍我们参观 Chocolate Museum 之类的地方
一口便被拒绝，可是当我们问路时他也很开心（看起来）的回答
不像大部分的都会趁机砍一砍外地人的菜头
这里大多数出门的人都会自己准备环保袋，Shopping mall 里人们都是用这些袋子
好难得才看得到Tesco 的 Plastic Bag hahaha

更难得的是登上PG Hill 之一的山路休息站
竟然没天一大早都有人自愿准备茶水，咖啡让迟些路过的人能免费享用
自己背着水瓶和相机都已经很辛苦的走上去
更不用说还要带大包小包，义务性的造福登山者

看到这些例子，不禁感叹这种社会精神不见得普遍
Shall I move here? Work here? XD

It's the season of CNY again with the horse coming, while the snake sneak away

Apart from the usual gifting of biscuits, snacks and candies

The CNY feel really has not hit me *the shopping mood just never occur, or awaken*

Meh...Perhaps it's the lack of $$$? Or simply I'm already too old for it?

Anyhow, there's still a week to go and it'll be filled up with lotsa cleaning jobs

Poor me left to handle all these stuffs to be done T.T

The week passes by so fast in chilly night weather

Heard it is worse in the northen area, maybe we'll have the first ever snowing CNY in M'sia?

I really hope so hahaha

Watched 2 movies in the cinema within these 3 days, somehow those movies kinda not meeting my expectation *IMO*

The first movie was HER (still cost me RM10 on a Wednesday)

Lowered my own expectation before walking into the cinema, hence it comes up a little bit higher than the pre-lowered expectation

The second movie was I.Frankenstein (RM13 on Friday T.T)

went in with moderate level of expectation but turned out to be much lower than it

2 movies of totally different genre but personally, I think HER comes up top if I were to compare them both

the movies itself has nice flow and it is a more realistic movie, someday we all may live Theodore's life since many of us had been facing more LED screen than human faces

People's will then grow further apart, or become anti-social and hence relying more on the 'living machines' that is able to communicate, share feelings or *likeinthemovie* fall in love with it

Most probably becoz we just hate to face the unknown, uncontrollable in another person's reaction towards our deeds or behaviour

If we're dealing with these 'living machines', it can be turned off simply with a click

This movie leaves much impact on my way of thought, and also creates thoughts that we can ponder about

The possibility of us heading to the world of this movie is definitely a YES

As for the other movie, a movie leaving no trace of it in my mind

except for my consciousness of knowing I've watched it, will not watch it for another time and also I've paid for the ticket

Simply a storyline that the writer can alter into whatever shape he/she wants it to be

An invulnerable, undying main character fights bunch of tau-fu-made demons for the decorative purposes Gargoyle

Not saying that it's no possible these things do exist, but to be done with such exaggeration, making the movie closed to disaster

There are few points I find to be contradictory and not understandable

1. the main character himself, soul raised from hell in shape of demon doesn't that make him lower than the so-called Prince of Evil?

2. There is no mention of how they ascend Gargoyle, but the strongest Gargoyle can be killed by his own weapon? Won't the impact cut into Adam as well?

3. If Adam is undead, does he feel tired? or how he can be killed? Those cuts hurts him like any normal human and he needs to sleep as well, so how is he undead?

4. Great useless Gargoyle Queen save the day when the 'fire' from dead Prince brings all demon with it down to hell, then why Adam's 'soul' is not brought along? And how do they survive/dodge the fire when everything was cleared, making huge hole there?

5. The fiery thing is the demon's soul? Demon has soul? I thought it was mentioned in the movie earlier that only God's creation has soul? 

Well perhaps I've missed some points in the movie causing myself to have these confusions but overall, this movie barely make it to 5/10

There're so many movies coming up next week!! How how how?!?!

There are 2 or 3 in the MUST-WATCH list   >.<

But still, we've enjoyed and made it through :-)

It was actual day of Alvin's birthday, everyone gets a slice as early celebration of our own birthdays

Tioman trip with buddies

Wine + Beer from duty free shop

I drank most of the wine in this bottle because some of them don't take alcohol

Joined Jeffrey's trip to hike the Broga Hill

He had been great guide to bring newbie (me) up to top of the hill

The breeze and view are spectacular until the sun climbs high

Trip to Penang (2nd time) and later to Koh Lipe

 Snapped before the rain that ruined my walk to reach the beach area in Penang National Park

 Luckily rainy season was gone the morning I departed to Thailand

 View from room of resort in Koh Lipe

 Going to Snorkelling on long boat (I guess that's the name haha)

 Sunrise of the last day on the island

A journey to historical site, Georgetown of Penang

Didn't find all the mural though @.@

The making of joss stick in Georgetown

After finishing with the trip, I've taken up 1.5 months teaching position in my primary school

And also as photographer for events in the school including Children's day, Sports day, Hari Kantin, field trip and 2D1N trip to Kukup Island

 Most cooperative, easy to teach class haha

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

Overwhelmed!

Woosh! It's been a long time since I've ever been so busy

First there's the trip to Kukup with school kids

But they're hardly present when we (teachers + parents) were busy enjoying

They just hid in the room all the time (except teatime + lunch/dinner)

Hence, we threw away all the normal deeds of teachers and be as crazy + noisy as we could haha

It's funny though I get this chance to see how sampat my teachers can be

Sometimes even overheard their 黄色笑话 haha

Anyhow the place is suitable for whole family trip but not for long stay

Ideally 1 or 2 nights top, otherwise you'll start to feel boredom filling in and cant wait to leave the place >.<

Main hotspot apart from unique set up of houses on seawater, is the mangrove preservation forest

Found funny looking fishes (I called them legged-fishes coz they have a pair limbs look juz like legs) and single clawed crab...I can't stop wondering will ones die if he/she fall onto roots of mangroves facing upward like spike? Hmmm

That place will only consume short period of time, at most 2 hours

Then probably a tour to fish farm (tourguide will give some briefing on diff fishes) and the rest of time is spent buying local products (compare prices and qualities, although it's juz a small place but the diff can be seen if they're sold by diff shops)

And so, that is all of them! Remaining free time can be spent walking around the village, look at some magnificently big, huge houses built there (Some are damn big with 10+ air conditioners)

As well as to Sing K + play mahjong 

I played with 2 teachers + 1 parent through the night, from 10pm to 9am of next day

Thus, I have no idea what happened in the bus otw back...

Yesterday pulak, I evolved into Super Prawn! hahaha

Intended to stay a night at cousin's place to attend job interview, but drove to Nilai without my formal clothes

Turned out I have to come back and only went for it super early this morning

A lesson learnt: Honesty won't work hahaha

Great experience though to feel nervous while waiting (waiting time is longer than the interview itself) 

Cause many words juz couldn't come out of my mouth, they wandered around in the mind only >.<

Shall show more despo + excited look for next interview + talk more ^^

Since I've been to Sunway, how can I leave without visiting Bookalicious?! HAHAHA

And hence TADAAAAAA

Im so turning my room into library T.T

2 Free gifts from Bookalicious (being loyal customer throughout these years)

Christmas card from sb!! One more collectible hahaha

Ok happy winter solstice!! Super duper early for it haha

THE

END

冲动！

Had a really motivating chat with a fren

to discover that all I've done so far was just THINK-ing on what to do

which means I have not completed the DO part of life

Coincided with recommendation from another fren

Finally I've sent out first resume in my life =)

Although its a really simple, bold and straight to the point one

with some newbie mistake made in the process

Hope the person in charge had an understanding heart towards newbie haha

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the interview!

Most of the excitement part is caused by the chance to visit Big Bad Wolf

Have several titles to hunt for in the bookfair

And of all, I do hope to find several of them from the same series, so that I can complete them all at lower cost =D

Besides, It's not too bad to try newly discovered title there with RM8 each

Even if the book turns out to be not good in the end

Witnessed a pair of parents with interesting way of treating two daughters of theirs
Apparently, each parent favour different daughter, causing extremely different treatment during their visit
In the last visit, Parent B was in charge and hence Daughter B was treated like princess
She gets all the good stuff and cared for, all things that get into shopping bags belong to her
In the current visit, Parent A was in charge and hence it's Daughter A's turn to be the princess
Seems like karma always have the way to work things out
So in each visit, there's always a daughter whining for the unfairness while the other enjoy all possible fun
I wonder when will they be treated fair and square without a parent favouring only one of them


何时才能鼓起足够的勇气踏上陌生的路途，通往那从未到过的地方？
看看那是否有想象的唯美？
无论如何，重点不在于那结果的绚丽
而是陪你一起走过的旅伴

I'd go back to December all da time~~

Yesh! It's December, last month of the year!

It has always been most fun month and full with events

That is why I like it so damn much!

This year even has an extra event: Cousin's wedding =)

Too happy becoz I get to drive to Penang, for the first time ever!!

HAHA

It's good to have frens visiting Mlk all the time

It gives me the chance to enjoy all good foods here in one day

And it serves as a sorta revision for future fren visits

The thought of becoming tourguide is not bad afterall ^^

Phew had been busy the whole week dealing with books clearance and key in data of students

Most of the books were >30 years old

And I found my name in some of them!

Back then when I was in Primary school, I'm so 乖 to read story books >.<

Packed up to 12 boxes of books and sold them for recycling

Damn cool to see those boxes being thrown onto the lorry from 3rd floor O.O

They didn't have nice ending though, all sealed boxes were broken

Haizz 白费工夫 to seal them so sam-fu-ly

So, mission accomplished for now

Time to move on to next mission! =D

Found it from the drama :-)

THE

END

Hmmm It's been an eventless week

Just doing stuff repeatedly and forgetting how fast the time flies

The end of 2013 is coming soon and there're alot of planning on going

such as short trip/visit to tourism hot spot, celebration of festivals and count down for new year

So much to anticipate for ^^

The opportunity is open again for longer time frame

Plus increment in the reward

Although not for long term planning, but I've been thinking whether I shall take it?

Or walk out of the comfort zone of doing the same thing again?

Like go out for more adventure as I'm still young =D

In the meantime of consideration, I'm currently killing time with READING!

Obviously to clear as much of the stocks as I can

It has been enjoyable for the week with progress of a hundred page a day =)

Maybe I shall add on to the list of things-to-try-out with the star snapping recommended

*But need to download an epi of drama series* (This is very odd to OCD)

But I'll do it when I'm ready to accept the act of downloading single epi of the drama haha

Watched a long anticipated movie yesterday night

Hunger Game: Catching Fire

I gotta say it's damn nice and surprising

Just when we thought the movie was coming to an end, that's when the game began 

It's torturous to have to wait for 2 or 3 years more till the end of this series!!

Like other series, the last epi is divided into 2 parts (Its either the story is too long, or to make more money)

Compared to the first episode, which has much simpler storyline and complete game play

This episode is vaguely pointing out direction of the storyline in next episode

And of course to puts up factors involved in coming episodes as I've been told by fren who had peeked into the synopsis on wiki

Hence this episode is less action-packed, more story-telling to show us how the Revolution is starting, how the main character has played a role in it and how the people were influenced to overcome FEAR with HOPE

Addicted to them while reading :-)

THE

END

We're all MONASH GRADUATESSSS

Four months didn't feel like a long time since we're done with the exams

But it's considered a long period of time since all of us had gathered in a single venue

We've finally been acknowledged for all hardworks and time spent typing in front of laptop, throughout the foundation year and 3 years of degree

I'm so glad we all have graduated together and had quite sufficient time to snap photos in the academic dress

=D

It was the first time I've snapped so many photos, although I'm not the photographer haha

First of all many many many thanks to this cousin brother who had been very helpful and warmth host when 

My parents and I tumpang in his house (saved us the accommodation fees in hotel) plus being photographer of the day

Nah, this as a gift to repay ur kindness ^^

And of course thanks for all the time spent (plus "investment") provided by parents while I was enjoying in one of the most expensive cities (Sunway)

You two had been great for giving me supports during the hard time in my studies as well as HOME when I feel like taking a break from hectic stressful times

Wish I can repay more to you guyz in the future!!

On the morning of the day itself, I have bunch of friends who are as crazy as I am to wake up early in the morning and went to snap photos in the campus

Although we didn't have the academic dress collected yet but we still love it!!

Especially the jumping snap = )

Enjoying the new field *specially recommended by Anson*

First attempt *see the super-happy-justin*

Because the super-happy-justin is blocked here >.<

The successful snap!! YAY!

Next we're separated to prepare ourselves for the ceremony

I myself had a pretty busy noon with long queue at Sushi Zanmai and shopping for white collar shirt

Because I've left it back at Malacca T.T

Luckily It was not a tough task because we're in Sunway Pyramid, what else better to do than to shop here?

Changing in toilet of shopping complex feels just like what I've done during secondary school times

Not just  me, my mum also changed into her formal dress for the ceremony

I've got to say Sunway Resort Hotel is much more glamorous from inside compared to the outside

I barely noticed it until today >.<

*Is it my eyesight or it is really unnoticeable?*

Anyhow, I've met many Uni-mates in the hotel and snapped photos with most of them

Missed out some though

But no worries, we have had good times together =D

Jeff *stolen from his fb*

Seb, Zixin, Rach, Vivienne and Anson

Seb, Anson and Kai Xin

Yvonne Lim

One of the most important group photos ^^

Raymond

PK and PY

Flowers and dolls from families and specially from frens who were so nice to buy one for each of us

Certainly, this marks the end of one of the journeys in our lives, the one that we all shared together

I do hope we can have some annual events to gather again!!

And may we all had enjoyed companies of each other, the memories made and thrive in the future working

Hope to see you all again =)
