First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!! well, spent yesterday night in 1U....the concert was freaking boring...i almost juz fell asleep at the roadside...all chinese songs....and even got nice disco ones...no one teman me to siao....everyone juz stare at me...so malu....anyway, i wasn't the only one k......got Malays and Indians there....they are like me....almost fell asleep...luckily, the fireworks conpensated everything...IT WAS AWESOME!!! everytime i thought it was the climax and end already, another loud B A N G and the fireworks continue on....it went on for at least 10 minutes.....this year, the fireworks was special...how special...i dunno how to describe...those who were there, u guys should know....the only thing i know is, we were all standing freaking close to the place where they locate the fireworks....oh then, maxis was jammed up...cannot call out...cannot message...my mum was trying to call my sis in japan because the host family was waiting for our call too...but maxis was super jammed up...so cannot call till 1 sth in the morning...and i was trying to call maggie and kek jin because i promise them i will since they so charm got no where to go....but the line cannot go through....haha!! finally manage to call them, but it was at least good 20 minutes later...so sorry guys!! but i really did tried....

Well, the whole night...got banyak nice message circulating around...but i extremely like this one:
- Let this new year be like a plane ride with God as ur pilot,
Dreams as ur wings,
Hope as ur fuel,
Love as ur engine,
Good friends as ur crew,
Faith as ur safety belt,
And finally,
Happiness as ur passenger -
Have a BLESSED NEW year ahead!!!

New Year's Eve (last post for year 2008)

So, year 2008 is gonna end soon....and it's a sad ending with the whole world having recession now and everyone is predicting it's gonna be worst next year....well, my year 2008 is not that bad after all...let's see.....

Part 1
I finished my first year by getting second upper class...it's not that easy as i was juz a first year student....young and dumb....even my hands on project almost fail...however, we manage to pull through the whole first yeaer without any serious damage done....

Part 2
Got my first working experience....as a sales assistant in a pharmacy...well, it's not that bad...although i dreaded it at first, but still manage to pull through....everynight came home with a sore leg that almost patah....however, i manage to learn lots about everything and now....i am still working there....

Part 3
I passed my Diploma in Music....was so happy when my piano teacher message me and told me that i passed....so proud...and i felt that i was really blessed...with my performance that day, i really thought i was gonna fail and have to retake it again....but God really bless me and i passed....Thank God!!

Part 4
PBSM finally won back the championship after dunno how many years being at the second place...was so proud of the team....and obviously, i did help k....still remember trying to teach those who march with left hand and left leg....teach them how to stop.....teach them how to turn (almost cried).....helping out in the formation as a "ke leh feh".....Every hardwork finally paid off....Still remember when we were announced as CHAMPION...i was seriously stunned....dunno wat to say...thought i heard wrongly....then when i turned around, i saw the president and vice present were hugging each other and tears were flowing like water paip, i knew i din hear wrongly....the only thing i manage to do is, congrats my senior for all the hardwork he poured and i juz stone there and finally walked away......CONGRATS TO THE PREZ AND VICE PREZ!!! and special thanks to FUE XIANG!!

Part 5
The Youth Holiday Camp 2008 in Benum Hill Resort was a success....everyone enjoyed very much especially me because it's gonna my last year becoming an instructor....well, i really make an effort trying to remember those ppl...but unfortunately, i can't cuz my brain capacity is too small...it's better this year compare to previous years cuz i can't barely remember anyone....or can say...not a single one...(ask isabelle..she's the best example) this year, i can remember at least 20 ppl lerr.....improve d....

Well, although it seems that i really had a great year....the bad ones have their fair share too....i lost one of the precious "thing" in my life....second year in University is as bad as it is....cuz too getting more challenging and hands on project was a failure...However, if we have a prefect year....with no nth happen...then it's gonna be weird....i juz Thank God that i am still alive today to type this post and there's nth more i expect....

Year 2009 is gonna be more challenging as i am leaving to UK....i guess everyone is looking forward for a better year ahead....COME ON PPL!!! let bygones be bygones....watever sad things, unhappy, unsatisfied moments, let the countdown cheers to the new year wash them away (obviously u keep the happy ones)....and when the cheers is at it's peak, it signifying to a new start....leave the old memories some corner in ur heart....and let the majority space in ur heart filled with curiosity for the new year.....GAMBATTE!!! Let's usher a whole NEW chapter in the Book of Life for YEAR 2009!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Home Sweet Home...

Never in my life i felt so happy to be home...finally got back home yesterday night...and the airport was so tense as Louise Khoo was to arrive at almost the same time as i do....well, the last two days in Vietnam carries the most dramatic scene among the 5 days when we were there.....so, the 4th day....we had a 2 and a half hours drive to some place to see "Halong bay on land" .....well, that place is really sth like Halong Bay, the different is Halong Bay is in the middle on the sea whereas this time, the place is on land....we had a small exercise to see the oldest temple they have in Hanoi, went for lunch...and bump into a fellow camp mate...right.....the world is so small again....then we board onto a small boat which takes 2 ppl at a time....and we had one uncle and one aunty to help us to row the boat...of course, i helped....well, the scenery was really good....it was awesome!! it's a 2 hours ride....one hour to go in and one hour to come out...we pass 3 lubangs and finally reach into some place where some other ppl surround and ask us to buy things that we dun need.....wah!! like movie lerr...they surround us....luckily din rompak us....haha!! after good 20 minutes only they start to row the boat back....well, me and my sis got bored so we had some music played...and we play " Can I have this dance? " not bad wered...with the environment and love song...it's totally perfect....then, the aunty on the boat started to bring stuff out and "force" us to buy...siao wei....we told her we already bought it somewhere....but she still insist....finally, she gave up...and her facial expression is totally different compare when we first board the boat....she like pissed off....fine....that's not only that....when we have like another 800m before we reach the shore, she started saying "tip"....at first i thought what vietnam language she's talking bout...when she gave that money gesture, i only realise she was asking for tips....well, it's not like i won't give....cuz the tour guide told us that we had to give 20000 for each person....so we already prepare the money long before...actually we wanted to give more than the amount required which is 40000 to 60000....and she literally forcing us to give her money 800m away from the shore!!! who knows if we give d....she not happy with the amount she she ask us to swim back the shore...and when we din give it to her, she keep repeating "tip....tips...tip..." me and my sis were getting so bored of it until we dun care bout her...my sis even help to row faster....haha!! and my some aunty actually shouted across the river asking us to give 50000....i was like...OMGosh!! softer larr....so loud...until the aunty like..." faster....50000...." wat the....i almost go crazy k....never in my life ppl ask money from me till like that....before we got down the boat, i gave my sis 60000 to give it to the aunty....and since she was asking for 50000...when my sis took out the money to give it to her, she kept 10000....the aunty saw the other 10000, she tug my sis baju and demand for that extra 10000....my Gosh!! where got like that one....siao....i know they row till very tiring...but dun need like that kuar.....in the end, even before saying "thank u" , me and my sis quickly jump of the boat....my sis was so angry until before the boat stop, she step off and almost fell into the water....haha!!

Right after we got off the boat, we head straight back to the town....even my mym's boat also encounter the same situation...haha!! before the 4th day, if ppl ask me wat so interesting bout vietnam...i will say the "Honking" music and the dust particles floating in the air....but now...i will say this is the most interesting....well, on the way back...we were caught in the jam for almost 2 hours.....siao d....and we were listening to ABBA song....the CD pratically repeated for 3 times...and another CD was repeated for 2 times.....guess for now...i won't listen to ABBA for the moment...haha!!! had buffett in some restaurant, and went back to hotel...we went back to the hotel as early as possible because that night...Hanoi was hosting the final football match between Vietnam and Thailand....and Vietnam won....they were celebrating like crazy....whole night they have disco with some song that i dun understant at all....siao....luckily me and my sis were watching "At World's End" so our volume practically covered the volume of their music....

The last day...can't wait to go home...if we were to stay there any longer...i can go crazy....like my sis says...." if we stay here another few more days...when we go home...we need to go see psychiatric..." was so happy when we step out of the airport...had a nice dinner....obviously, not goreng to perfection....

Greetings from Vietnam....

Well, here I am....in a country that has different culture compare to malaysia....and it's on Christmas Day.....board the plane at 10.45am, and the journey took bout 3 and a half hour...by the time we reach Vietnam, it's well pass lunch....however, we still went for lunch at almost 3pm.....and guess what...we had a first class dinner at the restaurant...we had 10 dishes for 4 person while the table next to us only have 5 dishes for 4....siao d.....so, we din really finish everything...tried so hard but still...can't help it....too much....at least we get to try some local dishes....then, went to some park where their "bapa kemerdekaan" stay during his life and also went to his tomb...well, we can't go into the tomb (not like China) and at some places, there's a boundry that we cannot step into....kind the strict lerrr.....got police standing there to guard some more....but at least they are doing sth to protect their historical places.....then, went for dinner...dinner was at a chinese restaurant and luckily, the dishes is not as much as lunch....so we manage to sort of finishing everything......and dunno why...their dragon fruit here is sour and the papaya is bitter...worst than the bitter ground....siao...the only normal one is the watermelon....i can't imagine the watermelon being salty or bitter....

In Vietnam, there are two normal things that we can always see....1st, motorcycles....man!!! there are so many of them...this is my first time seeing so many of them at the same time on the road...walk on the street also scare....and the worst is when u cross the road...it's crazy here....they don't care...they just want their way....even u are crossing, they still honk at u and give u that kind of stare....and they keep honking...i think the best seller here besides bikes, it's gonna be honk system...so even i was complaining bout the drivers in Malaysia compare to Europe countries, now i think Malaysia is better....at least got some system....2nd, wayers...dunno why....maybe because here is a bit the slow in development...their wayers are hanging up in a bunch like spiders....in one bunch, there are many small wayers...at least got 20 of small wayers...siao....if suddenly one short circuit....i think fire sure happen and the whole thing gone...that's why their kereta bomba here qutie canggih...like the ones we have back home...

ok....gtg....times up....going to spend a night on the boat tomorrow....will update when home....ciaoz ppl...Merry Christmas!!!! oh ya, i found a book that is worth to read....try Rick Warren (i think it spells like that) - Purpose of Christmas.....i really like that book...if dunno wat to get for christmas for ur friends of love ones....try that....it will be a good christmas gift....nitez........

how are you my dear?

挑一張耶誕卡寫上滿滿祝福的話
地址寫的是心底你能不能收到它
天有點冷 風有點大 城市寧靜而喧譁
這一個冬天我得一個人走回家

問自己習慣了嗎
沒有你每到夜裡回聲變得好大
有沒有什麼好方法 讓寂寞更聽話

你最近還好嗎 是不是也在思念裡掙扎
你說會記得我 還記得嗎
你最近還好嗎 忙碌嗎累嗎心還會痛嗎
如果真不得已忘了我 快向快樂出發

有再多的牽掛都已沒有權利表達
舊情人給的問候比陌生人還尷尬
昨天遠了 明天還長 回憶模糊但巨大 這樣的深夜眼淚要怎樣不流下
