Finally, i can blog....


This is during our orientation week, we had telematch...had to run all around the field....tiring...huh...



These are all the chinese in TESOL course...Yes, we have only five chinese...But there is going to be another intake next week so maybe the number of chinese will increase...




This is my first time blogging at my college. The strength of the wi-fi here is very weak...I tried a couple of times to log in but failed to do so...

Now, I'm just lucky for the time-being...haha...

College life is great but busy...During my first day I had a shocked when I found out that the hostel I had to move in is 4km away from the school hall just imagine that! Orientation week was quite a simple one...nothing special...but I did meet a few new friends though...Only did i realised that there are quite a number of terengganu-ites are here too... The campus covers a big area of land...My leg ached a lot during my first week here...because it's tiring to walk all the way to the school hall..but luckily my lecture room is near my hostel...It takes 5 minutes to walk there...We had to wear baju kurung for the first week only and now we can wear whatever we want as long as it is formal and the skirt must be below knee level... The food here is expensive, but still we have to cope with it...*sigh*

I just can't wait to go home at the moment ... i missed Terengganu and the food! But I'll be home soon...Yeah! our college holidays starts at the same time as the school holidays...

The Last of My Daily Post, the Starting of My Fortnightly Posts..


Look I drew these myself (by computer)...Hehe, it's quite an ugly one... The fishes symbolises my gang... The yellow one is me (haha, fat fish), orange one is Fefey, blue one is Pei Whey ( I draw you slim a bit, happy lar), Fang Yin is the green one, and Pui Juin the red one.... Everyone is taking different routes now... Totally scattered (but still in Malaysia)...

There are less than six hours before I start my journey... This will be my last daily post for now... I think I will be quite busy during the orientation week ( starting next Monday).... I was also quite doubtful whether there is any Wi-Fi at the Institute.... Maybe I can't online at all at the Institute during my one and the half years there....T-T...

All of you will always be in my mind and my heart.... And also, to every member of the Malaysia Student Forum members: discussing all the topics at the site is fun, it's my pleasure to meet all of you... Keep posting new threads there, there isn't any new threads there last two months... Good luck to all in your future undertakings (including those sitting for PMR, SPM and STPM) if you ever view my blog...

One More Day to Go....

In a wink of an eye, today is a Wednesday.... But unlike any other Wednesdays, today will be the last (not that I want to die lar...) one spent in Terengganu before taking off to Johor... Or even more specific, to Singapore first before going to the institute in Johor Bahru... What a pleasant surprise when I discover that mum and dad are bringing me to Singapore to visit our relatives for three days ( I have to report at the institute next Monday)...

Yeah, it had been a long time since I went to Singapore.... Missed Aunt Anne and Uncle Henry, Aunt Rosaline, my cousin nephew, Roaell and his sister, Pamela... And not forgetting Karuna the second ( I'm Karuna the first, hehehe...).... She should be in year two by now...

Going to Johor next Monday means that I'll miss the chance of eating dad's rambutans... Those yellow Gula Batu rambutans make my mouth water ( even when they are still green at the present).... Dad said that the tree will bear fruits twice this year....Why? Because on the other side of the tree, the flowers had just started to bloom, whereas the fruits had started to turn yellow on this side.... Oh my, to miss the ripe rambutans is very much regretted... *Sigh*....

Hopefully, I'll come back in time for the next rambutan season...

Looking Forward...

It was quite tiring getting ready for college life.... All those clothes, daily use, school stuff..... Many more things such as wash tubs, detergent will be bought when I arrive there... I'm looking forward to it but still a tiny voice in my heart keep saying " you will miss home very much..." Indeed I will, this is my first time living away from home for such a long period...

Hope that I will not change during my time spent in a different state... I'm aiming a CGPA of 4.00 too! Saw a friend leaving me a comment in Frienster today... She said that I am so lucky for not being in form six to struggle with them... But I think that every course you take has a certain degree of difficulties... The only thing that differs is the mind set we cultivate....For me even if I didn't get this scholarship. I'll take up the challenge of being in form six.... After all, I've survive five tough years in high school, why not continue to strive even more harder... Life goes on to become more meaningful as we strive on harder.... A life full of expectations is a life worth living....

I hope that everyone in this world will have an interesting life to look forward to.... Life is meaningless without the excitements, the challenges, the obstacles, the fond memories, the failures, the victories, the pain-staking moments.....

God made us, humans to feel every bittersweet moment of life....Let's cherish it!

Smokers Are Disguisting!

Mum didn't cook today... So, we ate out at a restaurant... Upon reaching the place, we found out that it was almost full with customers...There wasn't any table left at the corner which overlook the river... So, we had to sit at the table next to a table of elderly men (maybe in their late forties I assume)... After ordering for our food, we had expected the waiting part as there were many customers who had arrived earlier than us....

I was looking forward to my favourite dish of 'fish wrapped in lotus leaf', as this would be my last Chinese restaurant food before my departure.... Food had arrived at the next table where those men I'd mentioned were sitting...

Finally, all the dishes we ordered had been served before us.... My mouth was watering away as I looked at the steaming fish and at the same time sniffing at the aroma floating in the air.... All of a sudden, the sickening smell of lighted cigarettes floated by...That immediately decrease my craving for the food in front of me.... The irritating smoke came from the table where the elderly men were sitting.... They were taking a puff after their meal.... Those inconsiderate men puffed away as if they own the whole restaurant....

I was choking within five minutes as I can not stand the intoxicated air in the restaurant.... ( To tell you frankly, there is no window anywhere near my table where fresh air can circulate in the stuffy area.).... It was an unpleasant dinner....I was hoping that they could just leave the restaurant...After all, they had finished their meals.... No, they did not leave at all (even after my whole family had left)... I can see that they are heavy smokers by the way they lighted one after another of 'rokok'....

I did not enjoy the meal at all.... Every time I open my mouth to savour the tasty dishes, the smoke from the cigarettes flows into my mouth too... Yuckss.... I hurriedly gulped down my food, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible... I do not know how many litres of that carcinogenic smoke had I inhaled.... Damaging my lungs...

Stricter laws should be enforced by the governments to prevent smokers from smoking in closed areas especially in restaurants, coffee shops, mamak stalls where non-smokers have no where to escape from the dangerous chemicals given out even from just one cigarette... Please do not victimised non-smokers...we are innocent and are looking forward to a longer life span...

Toys That I Would Miss...


Time flies, two more days left be for I leave my cosy home.... I will surely miss my soft toys... (Picture above) My PawPaw, the doggy which had accompanied me for more than two years now... Cute isn't it?



I'll miss the familiar RooRoo ( the canned kangaroo) on my desk, watching me doing homework and revising lessons everyday.... It was given to me by a pastor (though I'm not a Christian) when I was a flower girl at my cousin's wedding... He want me as his god daughter, as he has no children... I was 8 years old that time...



Maybe I'll bring this bear to my hostel...




I won't hang it on my phone again as its hook is loose... I have to keep it at home....





This will still be hanging at the door knob of my room even after I go to Johor....

Oh my god, I'm still quite a kid at heart... Lol.....

Hunting for Baju Kurung

It is stated in the offer letter that i have to wear a WHITE baju kurung when I register myself at the Institute.... So, my mum drove me down to town to nuy one... From evenin until night we have searched in various shops but there was no White ones... It was a tiring work.... In the end, my mum decide that we will have to make one.... Bother, bother.... now I have to wear baju kurung nearly everyday in the campus... Jeans and round collar T-shirt are not allowed... That's my life for the one and the half years from now...

The Farewell Party

We went out for the last time... This was a farewell party... I've been to many, parted with many friends... And now, I was the one who will be leaving soon... It's quite the common type of hanging out in some cafe, chat about any topic.... Leaving without any sad feeling....

Still, I seem to miss them already.... We went to the same beach after dinner... (near Mumbai Restaurant).... walking along the beach, just simply enjoying the scenery, enjoying the moment together.... There was no night breeze tonight, B po said that maybe it is because i am leaving soon, the beach is 'sad'... That's why it use this silence to express that it was sad... (Haha, childish talk again)....

Let this night be another sweet moment that I will keep in years to come... Let it be the moment that represents my youthful and carefree teenage life.... Life will never be the same again, everyone is growing up at such and alarming rate.... By the time we meet again, we will be young adults.... Time is unstoppable and irreversible... Gone is the sweet sixteen year (not sweet at all)... and the sweet seventeen... sweet eighteen is going soon too....

Eat DOTA, Drink DOTA, Sleep DOTA.....

Grabbed this photo from their frienster....Haha...sure playing DOTA...


Just now, I asked the guys to join me for a last match of badminton tomorrow before I leave the state.... They didn't reply my message for a long time.... Feeling impatient, I called up one of them...Guess what, his answer is "Hey, sorry la... busy playing DOTA, no time to reply you, I guess all the others are also the same because they are playing DOTA with me now, can't talk dy, bye..." There was a clicking sound and the line went dead...

Those guys had caught a severe DOTA game illness (incurable).... The weird thing is they are less interested in any football match... Ask them about the final match between Spain and Germany during the recent EURO Cup, and their answer was " Emm, you look it up in the papers lar, we didn't watch, were playing DOTA"... They were crazy about it (I've forgotten when the trend had started, maybe it was two or three years back)...

I do not think that they are crazy about it... They were simply obsessed... Every time the topic that they would be chatting about is DOTA... The characters in the DOTA... This somebody so and so did the silliest move... Some other were nobs in their tactics... Bla bla bla... There was an endless list of subtopics in the DOTA...

Even after every badminton match at the court, they will sit down to rest and start to pour out stories about DOTA... At the coffee shop, anywhere any time... We, girls were always bored out by their topics ( maybe because we never played it)... Even though they are physically six formers at the present, they are still children at heart (Are guys always like this)...

Even my cousin's husband was also one of those DOTA 'addicts', but at least not so serious... I am quite curious what makes this DOTA so special until all the guys are 'mesmerized' by it?

I had saw some kind of topic in the newspapers... It states about distracting the drug addicts from their craving for drugs by introducing computer games for them to occupy their time... Some did cure from the addiction thanks to this method... Maybe some part of the guys' brains are sensitive to computer games... It seems to be replacing the addiction for drugs using the addiction on computer games...


So, I conclude that guys must best be leave alone when they are playing the DOTA thing...

Back to School?


High school graduation day



The grand title



My friends




Went hospital visiting(Interact Club)





I went back to my high school today to get the principals signature on certain documents... Time really flies... I feel as if I had just stepped into this school as a first former (that was five years ago)... Now, I am going to leave this school for good... There are many fond memories contain in each and every corner of this school... Those corridors, those stair cases ( which I had to climb to get to my classes), the library, the canteen, the football field... The list is endless... I will surely miss it...

As I was walking to the Principal's office, my juniors called out to me... I was really glad that they still respect me even though I am no longer the chairperson of the school library... It was quite unbelievable that those juniors who were once first and second formers had grown into tall fourth formers... I really miss all the camps and activities that I had participated in.... Looking back, I feel that the time I spent in high school is not wasted as I had learned and gained a lot...

High school life is always exciting for me... I learn how to study had to achieve my targeted marks, meet new friends and seniors... During those moments, I experience a lot of the 'side effects' of growing up... First crush on someone ( or rather my first puppy love), first heart break when the one I admire had gotten himself a girlfriend, first conflict, first time responsibility....
Those wonderful moments will be buried deep in my heart...( perhaps leave a little scar)....

My my, to tell you the truth, I like my high school more then my primary school life... There are lots of activities to participate in during my high school years.... Getting chances to go for the national club conference ( Interact Club), Pahang leadership camp, Bengkel BSS.... I had a whale of time participating in these activities....

Next, the gatherings and preparations to organise an activity ( Kem Interaksi, Food Fair, Orientation, Kem Kursus, I.U Camps).... I thoroughly enjoy myself these few years...

Coming back to the present, I realised that those moments were temporary... It's all over... these remain as reminiscence.... I really wish that time can be turned back... but sadly it can't....

I have to move forward from now onwards carrying all my memories...Hope for the best to come in my future... University life, here I come....

Eating Kua Ci (Sunflower seeds)...

Mum had bought a packet of Kua Ci... Uhhh, it has quite a peculiar smell ( not any Kua Ci smell I had smelled before... Soon after that I found out that it was the coconut flavour that gives it the 'unique' smell(no big deal, man)... Okay, soon after that, both of us sat in front of the idiot box, waiting for the six o' clock TV reality show... Mum had some sort of craving for those sunflower seeds... Even before the show had started, she had cut open the plastic packing, scooped a handful, and started cracking the seeds with her teeth...

To tell you the truth, I always avoid eating those seeds since I was young... I had tried umpteen times to crack open the outer seed (or shell or whatever it is called)... The result is always the same... I ended up grinding the seeds to fragments(including the edible parts).... swt...-_-!''

Some sort of inner power draws me to try again today... I took some of the seeds from mum ( she gave me a surprise look)... " Okay mum, just let me give it a last try..."
I was quite determined to get the whole piece of the edible part without smashing it to pieces... holding it in between the upper and lower jaw (and in between the front teeth), I tried....

And miraculously, the outer shell cracked open nicely...Wow, this is the first time I got the 'flesh' as a whole, not as fragments.... I cracked a few more, but this time, the outer shell got stuck in between my teeth... Oh my god, that was painful... I pluck it out with my hands (ewww...), the edible part was also soggy with my saliva (sounds disgusting huh?)... That hinders me from anymore attempts to eat Kua Ci... Guess what happen to my fron teeth? It was separated from each other with a small opening in between...

That push out all my desire to master the Kua Ci eating skill...That's it... No more Kua Ci eating for me... Oh well, I think I'l never master the skill this whole life... i do not have any 'yuan' to eat it, though it seems quite easy for others...
