华文华语华人

昨天在友人的部落格里看到一篇针对董教总要求继续使用华文来当数理科教学媒介语的文章
一开头就用了很不文雅的“WTF”..
看得我一肚子火。。不是火他不懂华文看扁华文，而是燃起了一把想要为华教做一些什么的火。
他在文里说到，早点让孩子用英文来学数理，好过学了华文的数理后才在接受更高深教育时用英文数理，这样的转变让很无所适从。他也说到反正在国际上发表的数理研究都是用英文的，越早用不是越好吗？
我承认或许在刚转换媒介语的时候会碰上一些钉子，但是以我的经验，和我的亲戚朋友的经验看来，这些不适应是短暂的。反倒是我仍然清楚地记得，当初还好我已开始学华文和数学的时候都是用我熟悉的华文，不是一些我连基本词语都感到陌生的语言来教导的。因为熟悉语言，了解和掌握得快，自然觉得学习充满了乐趣。我难以想象如果当初老师和我是鸡同鸭讲，用着我听不同的语言来解释我根本没听过的数理科。或许早在小一我就告诉自己数理科真讨人厌！
我倒是赞成在中学实行用英文教数理科，毕竟中学程度的英文（即使是乡村小学毕业）也足够让学生了解新的数理概念了。尤其是像我一样的华小毕业生，在中学使用马来文学数理真的是多此一举。Min=mean, buret=burette,还我再上新加坡初院的时候一直给朋友笑我不会spelling...倒不如直接跳过马来文，在中学用英文！

身边有不少不会讲华文的华人朋友，但是还好他们都还蛮“清醒”的，曾经看过有华人因为不会讲华语只讲英文而感到光荣，我却为他们感到羞耻。。。

不会华文的朋友，只要你有心要学，我一定教！

1st Sem is over!!

Hoho~!!I survived the 1st sem in Uni!
I remember i was telling my frens that nah i m not going to take biotech cos i dun want to b doing lotsa lab works.. Tadah! I m still doing many lab reports when i m pharmacist student! Now i wanna share something interesting i learn in sem 1.

The most interesting module is Practical Dispensing, where I got to manufacture drugs in different dosage form. The most challenging product is SUPPOSITORIES! The temperature must be just right when you pour it into the mould, if not you will be giving your patient something that doesn't "appealing" to their buttock! I mean it! The suppository is supposed to look like a bullet, but some of my peers' products.. haha.. maybe the patient would rather be sick~~


A suppository
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eucalyptol_suppository.jpg

For my dear friends who may be using suppositories one day, these are my advise:
1. Remember to remove the wrapper- dont laugh, there are instances where the patients insert the suppository into their buttock with the plastic wrapper~ or worst, foil!
2. Not all drugs that look like capsules are meant of oral consumption- if you are not sure whether u r supposed to stuck it into ur mouth or buttock, ask! There were patients that swallow the oily suppository and tell the doctor "yucks the taste of the capsule is disgusting!"
3. Don't act clever, when the pharmacist or doctor give you something and tell you that it s for your buttock.. Instead of a suppository, sometimes it s a pump with liquid inside, all u need to do is to pump liquid into ur anus, and TAKE OUT THE PLASTIC PUMP! A pharmacist told me that his patient actually stuck the whole pump into his anus, n claimed that his constipation doesnt improve! Come on, when u put a cork to a bottle, how do u expect wine to come out? Moreover ur faeces is not so "pourable"!!

从来没有对一个地方充满这么大的期待和憧憬。。巴黎。。太美了！
看过kenny sia 的blog后，照片里的巴黎铁塔美丽的令人惊叹。

小小的几张照片就已经在我心里激起涟漪，我告诉自己，这一辈子一定要至少去一次巴黎！而且最好是和心爱的人一起去！




漆黑的夜空，矗立着一座高耸的铁塔，塔上的闪闪灯光点缀着异国的夜晚。
冷冷的风，在他温暖怀抱里的我一点都不觉得冷。。

法国巴黎。
有一天我会去到的！

如果。。

如果电话费非常非常便宜的话，
如果我们都非常非常得空的话，
我不介意你每天和我聊几小时。
可是电话费贵，我们都不得空，
所以~~


如果我怎样吃都吃不肥的话，
如果乱吃不会影响健康的话，
我不介意每天都吃很多食物。
可是我一吃多就肥，
胆固醇高血压听起来很恐怖，
所以~~

只好这样啦~~~

Any idea wat is this?
Looks like the rows of "magic-egg" vending machines in front of TOY'R'US..

No longer a teen!

I am no longer a teenager now! Happy? Sad? I dunno, anyway time flies! I still remember what i wrote in my diary when i was 12-- teenage, full of unknowns, excitement, and the most beautiful and enjoyable years in my life! Oh my god now i definitely hope that teenage is not the best, cos it s over and my age is no longer started with 1!!

My 20th birthday was a good one. I was so so so busy on the eve for Viva La Vida Night, a food bazaar for Cancer Awareness Week. Before that i was telling my frens that most likely i will be spending my last few hours of teen cleaning up the venue, counting down to my birthday while i count the rubbish bags i collected~ Urgh.. Oh well, i did spend my time picking up rubbish, but my lovely coursemates gave me a pleasant surprise!! I was coming out from the toilet, going to get some toilet roll to clean up the ice-cream mess in the Great Hall, i realised all the lights were off. I　was thinking: what? so stingy? the event is just over and the lights are already off? Haha.. no no no.. All my frens were standing in the middle of the hall, with a cake!! OMG!! I never expect it at all! I thought the most they will do is to celebrate it after pharmacy visit on the day! Wow..! After singing n blowing out the candles, we din hv time to eat the cake, so the poor cake had to wait for me to send it back home, to b shared v my frens only on the next day.


After cleaning up, it was already 1145pm. Dragging my tired body to Sen Loong's car, i was told that WIng Teck wanna tumpang some stuff to EduSquare. So Sen Loong n i waited patiently in the car.. Meanwhile, phone calls started to flood in~ Calls followed v calls.. Calls from Australia, Muar, Indonesia, bla bla bla~ HAHAHA.. As i was chatting away, i realised it s 12am dy.. hoho.. Suddenly, i saw my Cari Forum gang walking towards me!! OMG　OMG!! This s certainly another surprise!! Wahaha.. they bought me Secret Recipe Tiramisu Cake! So damn damn damn happy! But then on the cake it was written happy birthday Za Bo Yee.. zha dao~~


This is the Tiramisu Cake!!

They celebrated my birthday for me by the lake in my uni campus, quite romantic.. They also gave me a useful and pretty bag, haha.. really suitable and in time, since my bag s already quite cacat, and it s a free gift from Anna Sui somemore~

After all those celebration, i reached home at 2am. Urgh, hv to report to sch at 715am! As i was tidying up my stuff, my phone rang again~ talk talk talk till around 4am.. wahaha.. crazy!!

The next morning, surprisingly i was so awaked! Stood for 3.5 hours in a small community pharmacy, then lunch in SA, then had cake v my frens, then rejected a frens invitation to Times Square cos i was super tired, then dinner alone eating catered dinner. I tot my day wud b so ke sian, who knows...

MY LOVELY "TOILETMATE" PREPARED ANOTHER SURPRISE FOR ME!
At around 1210am, she came to my room, asking me if i want any food. I said, nah u want to grow fatter dun ask me along~ She asked, "really? really dun want?" ok.. i surrender, so wat do u hv? "Go to my room to c"

Wah wah wah! She drew me a lovely card, bought me a Baskin Robin Cone, and a cute, BLUE soft toy! I was nearly touched to tears dy lo.. she has been busy v her assignment, yet she still managed to get me sth!



I m so blessed that in this relatively new environment, i still hv a bunch of friends who will celebrate my birthday for me, and most importantly, thanks to my dearest mum who brought me to the world 20 years ago, brought me up, fed me educate me nurture me love me. Thank you, Mummy!

你不好~!!

我在教初级口语华文班的时候,常听到学生用很生硬的语调说"你不好~~",超级可爱
可是最近我觉得我不好~!!
为什么这么说呢?因为,我发现我很容易对别人产生偏见~!!
当一个人做了一件让我看了很不顺眼的事过后,这人做什么事情都很容易被我解读为不好的事.

可能我不是唯一一个这样想的人吧,很多人都会这样.比如说一个你看得顺眼的男生和一个你觉得欠扁的男生,同样的特性都可能有2种解读:
执着VS固执
天真无邪VS幼稚无聊
豪爽VS粗心
细心VS斤斤计较
勤奋好学生VS书呆子
憨厚VS死脑筋
"好MAN啊"VS大男人主义
温柔VS娘娘腔
......

YEE~~!!当你觉得别人不好的时候,记得要想想这缺点其实是一个被你看成是缺点的优点!!!
这样世界看起来是不是会比较美好?

WIsh List

Stable and fast internet connection for me and people whom I want to chat to
Frequently able to meet people whom I want to meet
Good memory to memorize all things that I m supposed to memorize
Love people around me

These are all I am lack of and wish for.. Will I be granted all these?

不能说的秘密

“我有一个秘密要告诉你，你不可以告诉别人哦！”

这句话，从小到大说了很多次，也听了很多次，但是有多少人真的没有告诉“别人”？
一个人通常会把一些需要保密，但是不说出口又很辛苦的事情告诉自己最亲密的人，比如知己，男朋友，女朋友，兄弟，姐妹。但是有时候这些听到秘密的人不说出口又很辛苦，结果他们也告诉了他们的知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹。他们的知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹不说出口也很辛苦，然后他们也告诉了他们知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹。。。。结果全世界都知道了这个“不可以告诉别人”的秘密。他们有错吗？要说错也不是很错，因为他们没有告诉“别人”啊~

如果这些男朋友女朋友好朋友不是在同一一个社交圈子的话还好，因为不认识当事人，所以不会觉得尴尬~想象你知道坐在你旁边吃饭的甲乙丙丁丁知道你和男朋友昨晚接吻的时候太紧张结果撞伤嘴唇~~~~所以，我发现最近有些离我很远很远的泛泛之交会把秘密告诉我，也不会把秘密告诉那些天天和他们见面的人。。

既然秘密告诉了别人会很容易被传出去，为什么还是很多人选择把秘密告诉另一个人？

因为，秘密憋在心里很辛苦。。

小叮铛

墙角迎风的雏菊.
茉莉花开的香气.
闭上眼回到过去.
划分界限的座椅.
下课就靠在一起.
我就是离不开你.
一路争吵的话题.
我们说好走到底.
因为从此就分离.
用黑板上的日期.
倒数找你.

慢慢清醒.原来思念你是加了糖的消息
我用铅笔.画得更仔细素描那天天气
想你的香气.我想遇见你

那童年的希望是一台时光机.
我可以一路开心到底都不换季.
带竹蜻蜓.穿过那森林
打开了任意门找到你一起旅行.
那童年的希望是一台时光机.
给我放伯伯的糖糖你味道熟悉.
所有回忆.在夏天的口袋里.
一起荡秋千的梦境.在风中找寻着甜蜜

有些话从来不急.
一直都放在心底.
想要叫你看仔细.
而单纯世故的你.
已经离去.
哦.慢慢清醒
原来思念你是加了糖的消息.
我用铅笔.画得更仔细素描那天天气
想你的香气.我想遇见你

哦.在找寻着甜蜜~
哦.在找寻着甜蜜~
哦.在找寻着甜蜜~

很久没有听到一首让我这么喜欢的歌了,周杰伦的时光机..
从小我最喜欢的漫画就是小叮铛了,一听到片头的音乐我就会兴奋得不得了!即使是上了初级学院也不忘在星期六早上起床看小叮铛~到现在我的手机闹钟铃声都还是小叮铛片头曲,因为每天早上被喜欢的漫画叫醒感觉上心情会比较好吧..喜欢它并不是因为觉得它特别可爱,也不是因为它是蓝色的,就纯粹羡慕大雄,有一个这么神奇的机器猫朋友!我也常常在心里骂大雄,怎么这么暴殄天物啊!好好的道具到他手上总是会闹出问题,不然就是坏了,多么浪费啊!

其中一个让我印象深刻的是一个会帮忙做功课的道具.只要主人一睡觉,小精灵就会从小屋子里面走出来,帮主人把功课做完.小时候我很懒惰做补习的功课,因为又多又难,可是不做不行,补习老师是出了名的凶,功课没做好来可是会变斑马的!!当时的我就常幻想小叮铛给我那神奇的道具,那么我就不必这么辛苦啦!

长大一点,就开始对时光机感兴趣了..曾经很努力的"研究"过时光机的可行性,觉得时光机很不可行~想象下如果现在的我回到过去,然后在小时候的我的身上留下一个疤痕,然后再回到现在,那我身上应不应该有疤痕咧?如果我回到20分钟前把现在还在眼前的一碗面吃下去,那么现在的我会不会看到一碗面凭空消失咧?想着想着觉得很不可思议!然后,我就更加崇拜藤子不二雄了...

现在的我很想拥有一个道具,那就是任意门..想象以下,一打开门我就可以跨越地理上的距离,和心爱的人在一起;晚餐时间到了,一打开门就闻到妈妈煮的家常菜的香气;上课时间到了,一打开门就去到教室里了,多好!应该只有小叮铛可以帮我实现零距离的梦想吧?


盼望了这么多年,我自己做了这么多年的功课,小叮铛还没送道具来帮我做功课..
看来地理上的距离,我还是得自己去跨越,去克服..

我不是大雄,我可以自己做到!

These are the flaws..

Generally I am quite happy with my current life and campus and accommodation. But nothing is perfect, and sometimes these flaws simply ruin my mood.

First of all.. INTERNET!
Damn damn damn damn unhappy with the internet service providers~ There is no fixed line in my area, so no streamyx.. Was using digi wireless broadband but it sucks~ one night can disconnect up to 10 times-- no more 11th time because i simply cant take it and just go offline. Then i applied celcom, which promised 24-hour activation. I applied on last saturday, n ytd they told me "oh well u hv to wait till monday!" WHAT THE~~!!!!! Now i m using my fren's wireless account subscribed from sch, which is not good either because it takes years to load webpages, n within 1 hour my MSN got disconnected few times dy.. Urgh urgh urgh~!!!

2ndly, security
Before i came here, i was assured that living off campus s safe because there will be security guard. The day i came here i was quite happy to c them patrolling. However, within 1 month i moved to this place i hv heard numerous theft cases and even snatch theft! There was even Peeping Tom!! MAY UR EYES ROT and NEVER GET WELL!!I hv also dialed police station number for the 1st time in my life-- and even nagged at the police for their inefficiency~ So, from opening the window when i sleep, to simply shut the window at ALL times, i hv to b more more more alert to protect myself. Guards? oh well they are for decoration purpose.

3rdly, Computer lab
This one.. is minor case.. No more facebook and blogspot using sch computer.. well, if i can hv a "ok-ok" internet access at home, who cares? But do i hv it now? No, so i care!!

Enough, if i continue to type some more, i will just feel bu shuang bu shuang n bu shuang..........!!

Every week I have about 24 hours of classes, mostly lectures, with 2 lab sessions. Lectures are just like normal lectures where lecturers talk, we listen (or sleep? No lah so far I have been awake!!) Lab sessions are fun! We have pharmaceutical chemistry lab sessions where we do chemistry experiments like titration, but they are all related to pharmaceutical science, ie the skills acquire here will be applied in future when we are pharmacists. We also have pharmaceutical products manufacturing sessions. This is when we produce medicines like cough syrup, paracetamol etc!! This is really fun! But the preparation to this is quite tedious—we have to read up, do manufacturing records, make labels.. Writing manufacturing record is very troublesome ar!! We have to flip through many thick thick books to sieve out information. I have never used so many giant books to complete just a sheet of paper before! This is the amount of books that we typically use EVERY WEEK. One of them has a very DISTINCT smell, which, according to seniors, it s the smell of some cream.. omg..

Other than that, I have lab sessions that involves drugs reaction, clinical cases etc. Students are divided into groups of 3-7, according to the nature of the experiments. The 1st lab session was on drug reaction on human. The drugs we used we Pilocarpine and Tropicamide-- drugs that will either dilate or constrict pupil.. This sounds really scary. Luckily i wasnt the subject but the observer. After "drugged" by me, my partners had dilated or constricted pupil for about 5 hours! OMG... after lab session, we need to present our findings in seminar right after lunch break. Haiz, we dont even have proper lunch break! After seminar, we need to submit a long long long report on the next day~~


Anyway, although i complain a lot, i LOVE MY COURSE!!

Cooking cooking cooking..

My housemates and I have been cooking our dinners because there is no much choices available to us and some of them are very expensive while taste yucky...So, these are our products!








How? Want to cater food from us? Hehe...

Shopping Spree + Cooking

Since the food in campus is seriously yucky and expensive, my housemates and I decided to take the weekly shuttle service to Tesco to buy raw food to cook some meals. So, 3 girls happily went to Tesco with 1 ultimate target behind-- prepare to food for a week!

After merely 1.5 hours, we managed to get salt, oil, oyster sauce, tomyam stock, chicken thigh, kubis, siew pak choy, carrots, eggs, bread, rice, onion, garlic, apples, mihun, meesua, milk, pepper, pan set, soy sauce, tauge, frozen buns, plates, butter, chocolate spread, tuna fish, spaghetti, sauce, mixed veggie for fried rice, cheese, kitchen cloths, sesame oil, pillow, and the list goes on..

3 girls with so many stuff, so it was pretty tiring to board the bus.. Sin Lee nearly lose balance n fall as she board the bus, haha... Finally we got home! These are what we have bought!
We spent less than 1 hour to cook, eat and clean up.. Our 1st self-prepared meal in EduSquare-- Tadah!! Fried Bee Hoon.. Super nice weh!! This pot fed 4 girls.. costs us less than RM1 each.. haha.. So happy!

My New Squatting Place-- EduSquare!

I am finally in EduSquare, my off-campus accomodation in University of Nottingham! It is a 2-storey bungalow with about 14 single rooms, with ensuite bathroom. I am sharing bathroom with another girl. So far there are 9 girls in my house already, 7 from Malaysia, 1 from China and 1 fro m UK.

I am very satisfied with this place! There are bed with thick mattress, study table, wardrobe, ceiling fan, dressing table and air-conditioner at seperate charge in my room. Microwave ovens, stove, fridges, rice cookers, kettles are available in kitchen. Sofa set and LCD TV are also given in living room. There are even dining tables and chairs.. Cool!

Guards are always on duty, just to guard about 10 houses in my area.. haha.. so nice right.. On Day1, i even asked the guard to kill a gigantic spider in my room!

My house is just 10mins walk from the campus, but there are no trees around the area, so basically I will be grilled under the hot sun as i walk.. One more problem here is.. THERE IS NO FIXED PHONE LINE! So.. i wonder if i can subscribe to Streamyx or any other stable and fast internet service at reasonable price.

There is shuttle bus service that goes around campus, EduSquare, Semenyoh Town, Kajang Town and all the wya to Kajang KTM. I m pretty satisfied with the service so far. There is no hawker stalls, mamak, or restaurant within walking distance. So, the only choice i hv nearby is cafe in campus which serves expensive and yucky food... Urgh.. but seemed like there is catering service at reasonable price. Hopefully it s good, so that i will still b chubby.. haha..

Bed..

My study table and chair.

我希望。。

要到大学报到了，终于啊！
这次感觉上比去新加坡还要陌生，虽然说我还是在马来西亚，但是我熟悉的是马来西亚南马小镇，和新加坡！吉隆坡对我来说比新加坡还要“外国”！
说我完全不害怕是假的，我还是怕不能和同学融洽相处，怕住的环境不好，怕课业太繁重， 生活苦闷bla bla bla...
怕也没用。。当初我也是一个人到新加坡去念书，第一天在宿舍想要讨一条被单都不敢，两年后还不是混得好好的，还对宿舍依依不舍呢！

我希望接下来的大学日子里：
1。课业很有趣
2。能参加我喜欢的课外活动
3。平平安安！吉隆坡的治安让我怕怕！
4。遇到好的屋友
5。衣食住行都方便（internet 也超级重要！）
6。考到好成绩！不要在及格和不及格之间徘徊！（当然，一定要及格！）

English Assignment..

After reading the following passage, I suddenly felt that my English is bad.. I spent quite some time to figure out what is the writer trying to say.. Oh well.. maybe I should spend some time to catch up with our public university's standard...

理想的大学。。

9月16日也要到了，终于要结束我超级长的“假期”，到Universtity of Nottingham去开学啦！
从5岁开始，我生活就不曾有过超过2。5月的假期，算一算我可是10个月没上到课了啦！（我指的是我听课老师讲课，我当中学老师的那段上课时间不算！）

前几天去了新加坡，到朋友在NTU和NUS的宿舍里去tumpang。
看了很多很多的房间，还上了一个3个小时的forensic science lecture。
加上身边的朋友真的几乎全部都已经上大学了，可以很光荣的说“我今年大一！”，我开始向往大学生活了，虽然朋友都说大学生不简单，当初初级学院是老师说的什么“熬过A level上大学就简单多了”都是骗人的。。
我理想的大学啊。。就是offer我喜欢的科系，讲师有趣上课不会让我打瞌睡，内容可以让我这大头里面的小脑了解并知道怎么运用，考试要合理的难不要像JC时的考试让我一点成就感都没有，听到考试都没有想要奋斗的意愿，因为反正怎样靠都是一样不会A，同学相亲相爱，课外活动多姿多彩可以学到很多课外技能可是不要有政治，校园干净美丽，学费不要贵到让我觉得考不到超级好成绩会对不起父母。。。

好像不可能有这样的大学。
忽然，好怀念幼稚园的相亲相爱，隔壁的男同学在被我弄哭后还会给我粘土玩；
好像回到小学上永远都有趣的课，轻松的考全班前5名；
中学时课外活动的欢声笑语和学到的技能让我很庆幸自己曾经这么活跃。。。

大学生涯，希望你也能让我在好多好多年以后，让我有上多一次大学考多一个学位的冲动！

不知所云

下了整个下午的雨。
朋友放了我飞机，又得延迟去新加坡。
明天，一定要去。

要看奥运闭幕还是辩论总决赛？
开始向为什么眼睛是长在一起的，不能够装个extension让我两边都看吗？

假期要去A还是B?
为什么raya的机票车票要这么贵？
开始有点讨厌每个人都懂demand supply影响price的道理。

最近很懒惰写blog，即使我算是最空闲的人了。。。

无聊+失业+等待=

Olympics

(I m too lazy to blog about my Bali trip anymore.. I shall just upload somemore pics, and let the pics speak for me..)


Beijing Olympics's grand opening ceremony made Chinese all over the world proud. I doubt any other country is able to produce such a spectacular program. Perfectly coordinated performers, amazingly beautiful fireworks, creative props, artistic programs, all these remind us that China is rising, progressing, and will be leading the world. However, some reports claim that the firework effect was faked, etc etc~ I wonder whether those claims are credible, but this particular report.. saddens me..

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/The-Chinese-pulled-a-Milli-Vanilli-during-the-Op?urn=oly,100162

The cute girl who performed "Hymn to the Motherland" was actually not the original singer of the pre-recorded tape! Another girl of similar age sang it!
As my family and I were watching the opening ceremony, we were commenting that the girl is so so so cute, so "China", cooperative, and so lucky to be chosen to sing the song. Never did we ever consider that she was chosen just because she is cuter and more presentable than the original singer, while the original singer who has wonderful voice was hidden behind the scene. How does the "original girl" accept the fact that she actually sings for Olympics, but the world will recognise another girl to be the singer? And accept the fact that this happened largely due to her buck teeth? I cant imagine how is this event going to hurt her, affect her confidence? And maybe even ruin her life? What message is this incident sending?

"You can be talented, you can be hardworking, but if you do not have the look, sorry..."

Is this the image that the Chinese want to potray?

Bali Trip 2

After dinner, Denny brought us to buy Terang Bulan. It is actually Bali version of Apam Balik. Basically it s pancake with fillings. We bought Terang Bulan with cheese and chocolate. IT TASTED REALLY WONDERFUL! Chocolate was sweet while cheesy was salty n fragrant... there were 2 different Terang Bulan-thick and thin. According to Denny, Holland Terang Bulan is the best. Apparently in Bali, piracy is a common crime too. We saw Roland, Polland, and many other similar brand!!

The next day, we went to see the making of Batik and silver. We also visited paintings shop.
Traditional Bali paintings are very complicated.. I spent a long time looking at this painting...

Then, we went Kintamani. It is a volcano area. The weather there was good as it was a bit chilly at noon.The picturesque scenery accompanied us for buffet lunch... It was a shame that we didnt get to go near to the volcano. Hopefully there will be a chance for me to go there again! When we were going to leave the place, hawkers selling souvenirs, drawing temporary tattoo kept on pestering us~~~ They just crowded around us, shouting "Tiga lima untiuk semua" etc~ We had no choice but to patronize a bit..
On our way down from Kintamani, there were many rice fields along the road. Bali paddy field is different with what we usually see in Kedah. As the rice fields are planted on hill, farmers had to make them into staircase-like columns so that water can be retained in the columns.

Bali Trip!

Day 0

Took Mayang Sari from Pontian to Pudu. Then, took train Sri Petaling where WeiKen fetched me to 1Utama (thanks, weiken!) There, I met Joanna who happened to be shopping there. Had a small small "dilemma" to choose movie - at the end gals won! watched Incredible Hulk. Then, XueFen fetched me to her house in Damansara. Thanks Xuefen! Stayed a night at her place.

Day1

Woke up super early to avoid jam. Urgh.. 1st time i ever took KL public transport at peak hour. It was really challenging to travel with big luggages. I found that KL publich transport is not quite friendly to handicapped ppl-- there were many staircases, some places have no lift. Had a hard time carrying my luggages and squeezing into the sardine cans..

Finally I reached KL sentral, where i met Katak n his friend. Siao Min. Took AirAsia bus to LCCT, slept like a pig on bus cos i din sleep much the night before-- so, i din know how was the route like, n how much time did it take. Met Katak's other frens-- Edwin, Janice and Gary before we checked in and hv breakfast. Finally, we board the plane-- here we come, Bali!

Tried to take some pictures when i was walkking towards the plane as requested by Thermis, but the guards there stopped me =(

Slept throughout the journey, after3 hours, Tadah! We reached Denpasar Airport!

Had a long time at imigration.. very slow ar.. Finally we met Denny and Hansel who were there to pick us up. Reaching Denny's house, I realised how rich can Indon chinese be-- his house doesnt look like a house, but rather, a musuem or temple or some tourist attractions!

Had dinner by the beach outside Discovery Mall at Kuta.. a beautiful beach with breeze and band

Terbalik lah dude~

Case1:
Went shopping with a friend. He tried a shirt, satisfied, proceed to the cashier while I was looking around. Suddenly, he handed me his $50 note and asked me to pay for him. Asking him why, he said he would tell me later. I paid for him, wondering what's going on.. Don't tell me the lady at the cashier is his old flame?

After paying, we walked for about 10m, i asked him again.
Him: Look at my shirt
(after 2 secs, i burst in laughter)
Oh my god~~ this blur fella wore his shirt inside out!
Not only that, the label was right in front also!!
Super~~ Duper~~~ FUNNY!!!
Quietly, he moved to a fitting room, wore the shirt in the correct way..


Case2:
My friend, told me his story...
"At work, after excercising, i took off my shirt since i was sweating heavily, as usual. Then my watchroom guy pressed the secondary alarm, and got us into alert. so i ran up my vehicle w/o my shirt on...in a rush, i juz put on my shirt in d vehicle as we moved towards the runway. After problem solved, we went back, got down, and my boss told me later tt i wore my shirt wrong way round... ie inside out"

WAHAHA.. another big laugh for me!

Guys, PLEASE employ the skill that ur mama taught u when u were 3-year-old. It is quite important, ok??
Anyway, thanks for giving me some laughter!

Sumptous Lunch!

Few days ago, my colleagues and I went for staff lunch, which means ALL colleagues and some taw-kays ( oh well not really taw kay, cos it s a church, basically there is no boss..)

I ordered grilled tuna as appetizer, lamb shank as main course, n dark-choc cake as dessert.. The tuna was really fresh, the outer layer was lightly grilled to give it a crispy texture while the inner part of the flesh was totally raw- it s so "wow"~! I was too happy with it, and~ I forgot to take picture

Next, it is the main course-- tadah! Lamb Shank with baby spinach!

It is a big serving.. Pastor Fred who ordered the same dish said, "oh.. i dont think you can finish it.." "well.. you just wait and see.."

To his surprise, i MANAGED to finish it! Y not? It s so so so delicious that I hope I have a bigger stomach so that it can rock and roll happily and comfortably.. haha..

Next, my favourite dish of all-- dessert!

The moment i saw it.. hehe.. i can feel the fireworks above my head dy.. it looks so yummy! The moment I poked the choc cake, the molten chocs flowed out.. slowly merged with the raspberry jem.. Although i was quite full already, but the dessert simply made my stomach expand suddenly! The chilly ice-cream plus the warm choc cake.. I felt I was in the heaven~~

The best thing was, I DID NOT PAY A SINGLE CENT!

The weekday lunch cost about $24 per person, without tax, which is quite reasonable given such a nice ambience in that restaurant-- Mexican leisure style. But this meal, could cost me more that $70+++ at night!!

Hoho.. the best meal I ever had in Singapore actually....

阴影

你知道要怎样才能让阴影消失无踪吗？
很简单，只要面向光亮，阴影就会被抛在脑后了

其实，有光亮的地方就一定有阴影。想要摆脱它？除非你去一个没有一丝光亮的地方！
人生就是这样，有欢喜有悲伤。不开心的就别想太多，往好的方面看，世界就会美好很多
感情，未免不是这样呢？当你决定背对阳光，往坏的方面想时，你眼前就只有阴影，忽略了造成阴影的光芒。。。

面向阳光，往开心的地方想，所有的不快乐就只是一个跟屁虫而已，绝对称不上是绊脚石！

Pretty vs Ugly

I watched an interesting TV program just now, called Brainiac
In the show, all kinds of experiment are done. You get to test which smell attracts women the most: pheromone, sweat or cologne; how much impact will a big big cloud cause if it turns to rain all at one go etc
There is this experiment: How much help would a pretty gal get, compared to an ugly gal..
hoho.. a bit cruel..
So they let 1 pretty gal drag a heavy luggage up the stairs 1st
Almost all men who see her doing that alone offered to help
Next, the ugly gal tried her luck
But, NOBODY OFFERED TO HELP HER AT ALL!!
urgh... men r so realistic! i thought at least a few people would lend her a helping hand, but none did that! so bad..
no wonder katak asked me to take k of myself when i go bali v his gang-- cos he NEEDS to take care of the pretty friends but not his buddy-- me
fine..
fine...
fine....

haiz.. i m thinking..
when i drag my heavy luggage from public transport to my new uni, will some1 help me?
urgh..
i better do more weight training...

写给朋友们

朋友：

昨晚，又去了我们的老地方喝茶聊天。这次我们真的是各奔东西了，恭喜你们都拿到满意的大学和科系，2年的努力没有白费！聊着聊着，知道大家真的是劳燕分飞，有的去槟城，有的拿到吉兰丹，有的新加坡，吉隆坡的也是散布在各个校园，想都知道在首都这么乱的交通下，大家见面的机会一定是少只有少的。吟说，这次不一样了哦！因为之前还有一大票人在家乡念书，我一回去肯定都还会有朋友随时可以出来聊天叙旧。现在，应该要等到农历新年还是什么公共假期才会碰头吧？连学校假期都很一样了呢。。。见面时，不知道还会不会像现在一样有聊不完的话题，讲不完的笑话？还是，会变成陌生，甚至腼腆起来的呢？不要啊~

要到陌生的地方去念书，心里是兴奋，忐忑，还是不舍？都有吧？呵呵，2年前我刚离开家里来新加坡念书时，因为想家，压力，疲累而常常躲在被窝里独自哭泣~你们应该也会经过这些吧？想哭的话就哭！反正眼泪不用钱。。（没有啦。。只是，哭过后又可以勇敢地站起来了！）要多交朋友哦！在家靠父母，出外靠朋友！有朋友的话，至少哭泣的时候会有人为你递上纸巾，感情丰富一点的还会陪你一起哭咧。。

象牙塔的生活到底是怎样的呢？会不会比form six更难？课外活动会不会多姿多彩？宿舍会不会让你有家的感觉？要努力努力努力哦！等大家戴上四方帽后我们可以合成成一张毕业照！反正自从幼稚园后我就没有拍过毕业照了，sad..大家记得记得要update我你们的生活哦！我建议，大家都写blog吧！这样我们就不会miss掉频率了！

这个星期念国立大专的你就要报到了！准备好了吗？昂首向锦绣前程迈进吧！珍重！

年轻是我的护照，好奇心是我的入门票！

收拾旧东西时发现自己2年的JC生涯竟然是这么忙碌的。。月历上面密密麻麻的塞满了各个要记得的事情--什么NAPFA啊class test, common test考哪里,SPA--不是享受的那种，是school practical assessment要背的东西， concert proposal deadline, Service learning program proposal, project work的每一个deadline,彩排，outing，连假期都被one-to-one consultation和extra lecture填满。。我是怎么熬过来的？

回想从考完A level到现在我“干了什么好事”--呵呵，和别人比较起来我应该还算蛮“活跃”的
第一次搭AirAsia,去槟城玩，去英国找姐姐，去muar国婷家，去tampin和melaka找婉欣，去雪芬家，去Gopeng露营爬山洞划船waterfall abseiling,当了2个多月的中学老师（还同时教华文和科学咧~~），在教会工作，看了4个season的Gray's Anatomy,下个月还要去bali...哇！好像怕自己上了大学后就没时间玩这样拼命享受...

妈妈好像很羡慕我，说自己生活很无聊，放工后就是做家务看电视，可是却找不到朋友还有活力去参加各种活动。

忽然觉得，年轻是我的护照，好奇心是我的入门票！
很多事情我都想试一试，很多地方我都想去看一看！
这样的个性。。。到底适不适合当药剂师呢？

等待

怎么还没来。。
难道这次真的出事了？
不对啊，该做得我都做了
唉。。别担心太多，该来的总是会来的。。
迟来也不是不可能的。。
听到朋友如释重负的口气，恨不得自己的也马上来

如果真的不如我所愿的话，就出那下策吧。。
反正，人生都是这样起起伏伏的。。
迟点开学也没办法。。
谁叫自己当初。。。

今天

5月20号。。
呵呵。。记得去年的这一天，国婷说5月20代表我爱你--听起来有点同性恋　
以后如果我生孩子可以选日期的话就选在5月20日
多浪漫。。
(ok我今天发花痴，不要炸我。。。)

昨天看了《蓝色大门》这部电影
里头的女生A暗恋一个男生，喜欢到去收集着男声用过的东西--矿泉水瓶，运动鞋，周记等杂物
哇，暗恋都这么正经八百。。
忽然觉得自己好像没有年轻过~我暗恋人从来就没有做这些的。。

女主角是同性恋。一个喜欢上自己闺中秘友的同性恋
她对喜欢她的男生说，你十七岁在烦恼自己升不升得上大学，尿尿有没有呈直线，真幸福。。。
说的也是。17岁本来就应该烦这些，如果像女主角一样烦自己的性取向还真的是有得烦。。

19岁，是不是会烦得比较多？

会哭的小孩有糖吃

觉得“会哭的小孩有糖吃”这句话很有道理
很多时候，你不说不闹，人家都不知道你要什么
很想要的东西就应该说出来，去争取
因为除了过新年，很少大人会主动给小孩汽水零食糖果的

有时，哭了闹了大人还是不给，就是因为他们觉得那些东西对你不好
这样就算了，反正是有理由的，我认了
但是我的原则是如果你不给我糖果，请告诉我为什么，不然我会一直闹闹闹~~~

最怕的就是，你什么都不说，还装成一副不在意的模样，那你完了
因为当糖不够派时，你第一个壮烈牺牲。。。
不然就是，反正你都不要，我自己吃了。。

到时你才哭也没用了。

Bar or Bus?

These pics r taken when i took a bus from NUS to Dunearn Road few days ago. WOW! It looks really like a bar! The seats r quite cosy, but I wonder what is the purpose of setting the table since "eating or drinking is not allow in bus for the comfort of all passenger" The number of seats in the bus s quite limited too, but i guess this route has very little passenger gua..

Then, i m a bit surprised by this!

I can actually download the songs played in the bus~ cool!

However, recently I m quite fed up by the public transport. Since taxi fare increased, the number of passengers taking bus n mrt increased significantly. Now i m a typically working "Adult"now, so i travel during peak hours.. urgh.. so crampy, smelly....

Hopefully the frequency of buses n MRT can increase, but not the fare pls cos adult fare s scary!

Muar+Tampin+Melaka Trip

Few weekends ago, i had a gathering v wanxin leyying and guoting.. yeah they r my good frens i met in singapore! That time, I was in Pontian, Guoting in Muar, Wanxin in Tampin n Leyying in Singapore.. n we din meet up for quite a while dy.. so we decided to hv a gathering!!

Since pontian s a bit far from tampin, i went Muar to meet u guoting 1st..
Muar.. i went there for a few times when i was active in student reporter. So when i had to wait for guoting for a few hours in muar town, i had a good time "loitering"!! At night, went to guoting's house.. haha her house was full of females! i din c any male at all (cos her bro wasnt home yet by the time i went to sleep)

The following day, we were drove to Tampin. Wanxin was the one who came to pick us up! Surprise! After lunch at her place, we went A Famosa to see animals 1st while wanxin went to pick up leyying..
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS THIS?








Then, we headed to the water world!! wow it s so fun!!! the most memorable game is "High Speed"-- something like a slide where player slides down from abt 4 storey's height. It was quite 'OH MY GOD" cos i din even get to shout-- not only because it s quite scary, but the water splash nearly chocked me also!

After exciting games, we took our time to enjoy in the wave pool.

After all those nonsense, we went back home to shower, then dinner.. At 12am, we r supposed to sleep already right? NO!! We went out for tampin's famous SATAY!!! the succulent pork v a little bit burnt edges plus spicy peanut satay sauce.. wow.. nice! After tt, we 4 gals finally got to sleep in the same room!! Happy!! Chatted for a while, but soon we all fell asleep. Cos we were really exhausted after the day!

Next day, we went Melaka for breakfast.. Then, we took different buses to go back to our places..
A short but enjoyable trip =) looking forward to our next trip!
