Swatch

This is the original swatch watch that my brother gave to me during my birthday. I took pictures of it at few days ago.




我很喜欢这只手表,因为它包含了弘凯和我之间的姐弟情、我们的回忆、和他的心意。真的很感谢他,出现在我的生命中,带给我无限的快乐与回忆。

歌:Nice Songs

I would like to introduce some nice songs and albums to you!

As we all know, we are paying too less of concentration to our local artists. They are not as popular as other country artists. They are really hard to survive. Recently my sister had brought two albums back to home. They are potential local singers which are able to create their own songs.


As you can see, the girl’s name is Genie and the guy is Keon 佳旺. He is really talented. This album got their signatures on it.

You may see Xin Yan欣彦and Keon佳旺singing at Wing’s Café on every Monday 9pm at Kepong. The Wing’s Café is located near to the Kepong Jusco.


This is Xin Yan 欣彦, her songs are really nice. You may listen to one of her songs in the 10.00am weekdays drama on tv2.




I went to Wing's cafe and met them.. OMG, Xin Yan is so pretty than picture! They sang very well^^

Thanks for the support. ^@^

My Laptop

I have bought a laptop for the usage of studies at few months ago. Just took it pictures at few days ago when I was free.




As you can see, it is Compaq brand. The mouse is Logitech brand.



I love this picture among them. Look classic and cool. Ha-ha ^@^

I feel extremely unhappy..

I am going to start my third semester. But I do not have the strength. I do not know why. I doubt about my future. I doubt. I do doubt.

I do not know whether I have made the right decision. Maybe I should gain another life, a totally different life.

I have no idea. I really feel sad.

Suddenly I remember about what Vincent have told me before. I am still keeping his message.

Vincent said, actually if you think next time when you work that time.. Your job won’t make you happy.. Then you can actually find a hobby to do after working to keep you happy.. Away from stress.. That’s the best.. Important is you can generate income for the family legally.. :) this is what I am trying to tell..

My tears keep flowing down on my face.

Suddenly my heart fulfill with warmness…………

Jamie

8th June, 2008, Sunday

We had a BBQ gathering on yesterday at Kepong. It was for Jamie. She will be going to Melbourne on 7th July for her studies.

I met up with a lot of form 5 classmates on yesterday. Overall, they are still similar with last time. But of course they do change in some aspects. Mostly will be appearance. They are really become another person, they have change from top to toe. Become pretty and handsome. I am still the same, outdated. Ha-ha.

Everyone is stepping on the different paths of life. Most of them are taking diploma course in college. Finance, accounting, marketing, business, engineering, broadcasting, they are taking variety courses in different colleges. I wonder how college life is. I will never have the chance to experience it.

Teng has graduated from her LCCI course, waiting for the result and looking forward for the ACCA course. She has potential in calculation. Wan is working and still figure out what course should she takes. Hong is taking interior design course if I am not mistaken, and working at the same time. He is a passionate and determined person, his highest paid was RM8/9k. Yuvaraj and Joel are running the Elken business besides of studying. I was really surprised that Ben talked to me. We were not in the same class during form 5 but same class in additional math tuition class. He gave me a cool and arrogant impression last time. I am sorry if Ben sees this, ha-ha. But yesterday he talked to me. We were just asked about studies. He is taking a human resource course in college currently. Others are just studying as usual. I hope all of them will do well in what they are doing and achieve what they have targeted for.

Let’s talk about the main character, Jamie. We sat together in the same class for two years. She is a kind person. She can get along with everyone easily. She is a very good listener, helpful and cute. I am glad that I have the chance to know her, and became friends. I would like to thank her for helping me, concern about me. She is indeed a good friend that I have ever met.

I did not talk much to her yesterday. I did not know what to talk. She is leaving for two years. How if she stays at there and continue her life there? If she really does so, I am glad that she makes the right decision for staying at oversea. I know we surely have the chance to meet again. And by that time, we will feel really happy for that.

一位友人曾说,好朋友是即使没有话题时也不会觉得尴尬。我觉得很有意思。希望我们再见面时,不会觉得尴尬,一个眼神、一个微笑,都足以表达内心的千言万语。Jamie,希望你到了Melbourne会好好照顾自己,不要忘记我们。我真的很高兴能认识你。谢谢你在我生命中留下的足迹,为我的生命增添色彩。加油。为生活,为友谊干杯!祝你一路顺风,前程似锦,一切安康。

Feedback

1st June 2008, Sunday

I still have two weeks of holiday. I didn’t go back home for around 1 month.

Just simply surfed internet today, checked mails and messages. Besides that, I had checked and replied all the comments and messages from friends in friendster. I had signed up an account in face book not longer ago. I had nothing to do today so I just logged in and checked about it.

I think I am outdated. I do not know how to “play” face book. It seems more complicated compare with friendster. Any volunteer to teach?

Just view my own blog after that. I was really surprised that I received comments from friends!! Honestly really feel paiseh for writing in English, because I am not good in English. Or maybe I should say I am poor in this national language. I know there is a lot of grammar mistakes and errors, sorry for that. But, there is something that we could not tell in English. There is something that will be more meaningful and effective if we write in Chinese. 讲师曾说过,中文的力量很大。好比说一个“义”字。这个字包含了中华人民五千年的中华文化广大的意义。英文没有一个字可以真正翻译“义”字的含义。 I want to express my feelings and views in English because I want to share, some of my friends do not know mandarin. It is good to share, give others and yourself a chance to know yourself better.

朋友,谢谢诸位的鼎力支持。Thanks ^@^

Relationship

27th May 2008, Tuesday

My bus was at 9am. We reached Stesen Bas Langgar at around 8.45am. The bus station’s name is special right? At 9.15am, finally my bus came.
It was another long journey. My seat was comfortable. I was fall asleep very soon. Some people even snored in the bus.


During the journey, I saw a lot of things. The bus passed by Machang, Gua Musang. I saw a lot of oil palm and rubber trees. I knew that I reached Pahang. The bus passed by Jerantut. I went to here for a leadership camp when I was in form 4. Then I passed by Genting Highland. I knew, I will reach my house very soon.

I keep thinking during this journey. I had spent 3 days at my friend’s hometown. Not to say unhappy, but I think I did not enjoyed it very much. I felt I was forgotten by them at most of the time. Perhaps I was just too sensitive. I hope I was.

At least, I had experienced new things, new food, and new culture. There are a lot of important things that awaiting me to do, therefore I should not care about the small matter. I will be smiling whenever I think about my hometown’s friends. They are really treating me good, sincere. I like being with them. I love them.

Sometimes, it does not mean that you will gain what you wish after you put all the effort in it. Relationship is like this too. Every relationship needs the support of two parties. It will be “game over” if one of the parties let go and stop continue. It is hurt, but we can’t force them. But at least we tried. Let it be a part of our memory.

Just let it be.

Prejudice

26th May 2008, Monday

Today we had nasi dagang for breakfast, my first time for it. The taste was not bad, special.


We went to shopping again, KB Mall. This shopping mall was bigger than yesterday’s shopping mall. It was just similar with other, so we don’t have anything to buy. We enjoyed cakes at Muhibah, RM3.50 each.

After that, we went to buy dodol, a kind of kuih, got coconut and durian flavor. But they were just selling coconut dodol here. I paid RM10 for 4 packets. I could not buy too much due to my weight of luggage.

We had stayed at here for few days. It was the time to buy bus ticket to go home. I plan to go home at Tuesday night. But unfortunately, the night shift tickets were all sold out. I had no choice but to buy Tuesday morning ticket. I was the earliest to go home among them. I bought transnasional single seat ticket, RM30.90.

Then, my friend’s father fetched us to Besut, Terengganu to buy keropok lekor. What we bought was raw lekor, need to fry at home.

It was a windy night. After dinner, we were served with a lot of fruits from her garden. We had fresh coconut water, buah ajaib, and salok. The salok was very special. The taste was like mango and nangka.

Actually I noticed that some people will have strong prejudice about the people from certain places especially KL. They have the thinking that KL residents are very rich and they do not know anything about the life of growing up in “village”.

Human being is like this, always feel the moon of other places is rounder. City life is not as easy as they think. City life is not as bad as they think. They have always said city life is busy, dangerous; city residents are selfish. Only city residents are selfish? Honestly, I am not really like their thinking, or I should say this is a totally WRONG AND NEGATIVE THINKING. It is unfair for city residents. Let me remind you, cities residents like KL are mix up from various people from a lot of places, is it showing that the residents of their hometown are selfish too? There is no such thing that city residents have influenced them, teaching them bad. If the person’s mentally is strong, nobody can change his habit.

Maybe cities residents do not know much about their “village” life, but at the same time, they do not know about our life too. They thought every resident of city is the same. My lecturer had said, negeri mundur, tapi rakyat kaya. It is true. Although their hometowns are mundur compare with big cities like Penang, but the residents are richer than cities resident. Need any proof?

So, please change your thinking and stop having prejudice about cities and the residents, if you do have. I am not saying that all the city’s residents are good, do not get me wrong. Knowledge is unlimited, each of us have many things that we do not know.

Thanks for reading, and think about it, leave any message if you wish to do so. Sorry if I did say anything that made you feel uncomfortable. I am really sorry for that, I am just… angry... I guess. My friend thinks that actually they are jealous, oh my god. But they know the real answer.

Batik + Mango = ?

25th May 2008, Sunday


I was awake by the cold weather. Forgotten to tell you, I was at Bachok, near to pantai, that’s why it will be very cold.

3 of us went to market with my friend’s parents by kancil. The market was small, if compare with Kepong Baru’s market, if you went to before. Few stalls were selling kuih, each type of kuih was like a small mountain, the quantity was amazing right? Aunty bought nasi minyak for us as breakfast. We helped them to carry what they bought. Uncle bought rambutan and durian too. Their house was quite pedalaman, so it took some time to go back.

After the breakfast, the Honda again went out with 9 people inside. We went to town for batik. A lot of stalls were selling batik. I do not know which to choose. Simply went to few stalls and check about the design, finally bought one kain batik with RM38. My eldest sister called me to buy abstract design, hardly can find a nice design because mostly are flower design.

Then, shopping mall was the next destination. We followed their family to Pantai Timur. It was just a shopping mall, same with other places. Some stuff is cheaper than KL. My friends and I bought some stationary. I bought a pair of short pants, guess what, it was just RM17!!!

In the evening, we were served with pisang goreng and teh. At night, we were served with mango after dinner. We love ripe and sweet mango. We enjoyed our dessert with watching a Malay movie ‘Duyung’.
I saw some wedding invitation cards in her house. The cards were extremely simple, just printed on color paper. The cards were unlike with ours. Ours are made from hard card, with nice smell and shining surface.


Yummy yummy ^@^

The 1st Day

24th May 2008, Saturday

I reached Kelantan at around 12.30noon. It was a long journey. I did not go to toilet for so many hours. Although there were toilet provided in the trains, but you can imagine the condition of it. That’s why I stand for it so long, ha-ha.


Can you imagine a Honda City with 9 people inside? No way, it’s not a joke. Serious, let me tell you, and count. First of all, my friend’s parents, then 3 of her younger sisters, herself, and 3 of us. Maybe you can try it next time with 10 people, ha-ha.

Her father treated us chicken rice as lunch. The shop was small, but was awarded prize before, very famous. They have fried chicken too, special? I bought a pair of slippers here because I do not have slippers to bring to here. RM10, orange color, I like them, show you later, ha-ha.
We went to temples after that. We went to 3 temples, which were written as “wat” and following by the name on sign board. These temples had Thai word. First was the sleeping Buddha (睡佛寺), then the sit Buddha (坐佛寺) and the stand Buddha (站佛寺). The Buddha were huge and beautiful. You should go to take a look if you have chance. But they had a bit different with KL temple which is you can see the sami or workers around the temple. We were hardly meet anyone here except other tourists.

We took some photos. It was a great time, although we were tired after the long journey. We were smelly because we were sweating on yesterday when chased for trains. We did not have the chance to brush teeth, but we were happy.

We went to her house after that. Her house was damn big, with a lot of doors. It was like a bungalow, because it’s not like terrace house, the neighbor stay quite far with them. Both sides of her house are land that planted with full of tembakau and some lembu.

We had sotong and kerang for first dinner at here. Heard about pudu before? Not the bus station at KL. It was a kind of kuah, not sure about the ingredients. Put slices of chilies inside when you serve, eat with raw cucumber. Special is it?

North of Peninsula Malaysia

23rd May 2008, Friday

It was the last day of semester two. 3 weeks of holiday are awaiting us to enjoy and spend through. I had packed my room, cleared my room. Packed all the things and put in boxes, then carried to store room. All the residents of hostel have to clear room whenever school holiday to let another programme of students especially which are taking KDC course (Kursus Dalam Cuti) to stay in.

I was going to one of my classmate’s hometown that night. She was from the north of peninsula Malaysia, Kelantan, the classic and full with cultures place. Two of my classmates were going too. We took train, the most economic seat, RM25 per seat, but of course it’s not the most comfortable. The train should be arriving at 9.50pm, but we have waited for almost 1 hour plus, we reached our seat at around 11pm or 11pm++.
The trains were full and pack with a lot of people. Finally we found our seats, we straight sleep. I thought it’ll be cold, but actually it’s not.


Good Nitez ya ^^
