My god! I could not believe that this shall be the last post for year 2009~~
Why must time pass so fast??
I spent nearly 9 months in sorrow and that was how I wasted my time. But eventually I survived and learned a very expensive lesson. Things got better and besides my emo matters, the things that I could remember were numerous trips that I went during semester break. outings with coursemates, working life in ACT and moments that I hang out with my great colleagues.
During my 1st and 2nd week in training, time crawled in snail pace. Then suddenly *boom* I was already in the 10th week of training, then 11th week, 12th week and finally today, which happened to be last day.
Besides working and learning new stuffs, there were so many crazy moments with my colleagues. Memories oh memories..... today one even said I would cry. LOL because I teared while watching Avatar does not mean I would cry when I leave you people la ^^
So overall, how was my year 2009?
It all started in an extreme misery state and got no better after half a year. Yet God heard me and I was eventually given a chance to start all over again. Then things got better and better and I must say it ends at a very memorable state.
People, how has your year been? What are your new year resolutions?
Slim down?
Grow taller?
Become fairer?
Haha sounds more like my resolutions huh?? *grinning*
Anyway, no matter it has been good or bad, believe that year 2010 will be better! Leave everything bad behind and start over! At least that is what I am going to do.
Happy New Year everyone! May year 2010 be a great year for everyone of you!

It is already the 8th week!
Today is a public holiday plus my internet connection is in such a good speed so I decided to update my nearly-gone-dead bloggie =)
Life has been great so far, my training is progressing well and I really enjoyed my days over there. I shall miss my colleagues when I leave for uni again. Part of me wants to stay back and continue training, but part of me wants to end this training earlier because I am lazy haha. Plus, I am still not done with my daily report =(
Like most of my friends, I am entering the 9th week of my training. In these 9 weeks, not only I worked from Monday to Friday, nearly every weekend I spent my time with my uni friends. Just realised that in this semester break I went to so many places. Malacca, Alor Setar, and many places in Penang which I will not go. Plus, I actually joined Penang Bridge International Marathon and finished the 10km run =) Totally love this sem break!
Just last weekend, I followed some of my colleagues (they are all from Shyuan's department) to a photo shooting session. Haha Shyuan and I thought we could learn some skills from them as they have been playing with cameras for some time, so we decided to accept their invitation =)
Last weekend an event named "Pillow Fight" was held in Penang Times Square. Heard that they wanted to create a record of being the largest pillow fight ever held in the world with an estimated of 4000 participants. But what I saw on that day was like maybe 200 participants, or maybe less? Anyway that was non of my business as we just went for photo shooting.
Now, let me introduce the "photo shooting crew" to all of you!!!
Tang tang tang tang!!!!
These pictures were taken when the main actors and actresses were really concentrating in capturing the best angle so everyone was in "natural state". And by the way, "Ceceilia" is Shyuan's new name, given by my classmates =)
There were only 3 DSLRs though there were 5 of us. So we took turns to be cameramen/cameragirls and models. So some pictures look nice and professional yet some look lousy. Haha, I really still need to improve a lot.
I used to have the passion in capturing breathtaking sceneries or still buildings, but after that day, I noticed that I was influenced by them and has started to develop another passion, which is to capture human's priceless expressions.
After spending the entire morning at the event area outside Times Square, we went to Little Cottage for lunch before proceeding to Bagan. I hope that I will be able to improve more haha.
Now let me show you some of my daily life photos in ACT.
Inside my office (PSD), though that is my colleague's working place:
Celebrated my 21st and Shyuan's supervisor's 40th birthday in SOHO, AutoCity. The first lunch I had with so many engineers.
And we were invited to ACT Annual Dinner though we are just trainees. Grabbed the chance to take pictures with seniors, but missed the chance to take picture with our MD. Sigh.
They are all so nice, friendly and crazy so both me and Shyuan have no problems in adapting ourselves. My seniors are always willing to give me advices about my future, explaining in detail about things that I do not understand and are always so happy to teach me new things.
I hope that for the remaining weeks, I can fully utilize my time and learn more things.
"要懂得争取，training是最好的时候让你学习。"
"You must know how to request and grab your chance to learn."
That was what my colleague told me. I hope I can do that.

Sunset
Hey people!! Haha I know I have not been blogging for ages, sorry! Should have massive updates but currently I am in Shyuan's house blogging away while 'borrowing' her internet connection, so I shall update only a bit of me =)
My internet connection is really giving me lots of problems. Feel like strangling the technician =_=
Anyway, just to inform, I am having fun working at my company. Great colleagues and stuffs. Shall blog about it another time.
And all these weekends that I had after I came back Penang, I nearly spent most of them with my coursemates. Hang around and brought them to various places for sight seeing and places with yummy delicacies. Gosh, thinking of Penang food just makes me hungry ^^
Just came back from Alor Setar yesterday. 6 of us spent 2 days 1 night over there visiting places where Alor Setar people will not visit. Haha. Sounds familiar right? Like Penang people will not go Pulau Jerejak >.<
This trip is surely one that I will always remember =) It meant more than merely a sight seeing trip, and I really appreciate it.
Like sunset, the process is too short. Happy and good moments always do not last long. The most important thing is that we really appreciate the whole sun setting process and cherish every moment of it, keeping the best in our memories and let it stay there forever.
Of course, we hope that our good moments can last forever. But rather than just hoping, I would say, the moment now is the most important thing. No matter what will happen in the future, by cherishing and enjoying every moment of now we are having is the best thing we can do.
I have learnt my lesson. Be happy and be good to myself are what I shall always keep in mind =) Dom Dom, Xue Le is happy so no worries ya!
"乐" - Le (happiness)
So what can I say more?
I love sunset.
But I definitely love YOU more ^^

Sis, Happy 21st Birthday!
There is this someone who once walked into my life and have always stayed in my heart. Though we are now parted in 2 different places, but we are still keeping in touch with each other from time to time. So who is this girl?
Today is her birthday and finally she has turned 21 years old! Haha Ee Wen, you are old already!!
I knew her ever since my first tuition. Is it the first tuition? I can't remember. All I could remember is it was an English tuition taught by my aunty. She was then my tuition mate, schoolmate, classmate and good friends. We have known and be friends for more than 10 years. And for some reasons, we became sisters in high school...
We became quite distant friends ever since I came to UTAR and she attented Disted in Penang which later on she went to INTI in Nilai. Once in a while we chatted through MSN, but most of the times either I'm busy or she'll be busy. The very last time we went out together was during her summer holidays this year. It's about half a year d huh?
Reminiscing back the old memories, I realised that over these years many things happened between us yet we still are friends, one that I still consider as a trustable and good friend.
Back then in primary school, we were good friends. Became "Pengawas Kebersihan" together so that we could go on duty together, which was sweeping the staff rooms corridor every Friday morning. I still remember she's the one I told secrets to and we had crush on the same lucky guy =) But well in the end, neither of us were together with him. Every recess time we would sit at the same old place in the canteen eating the same old thing. I could still remember she always ate bread prepared by her beloved mom.
Eventually we grew up and went to the same high school. But in the whole 5 years, we never have the chance to be in the same class. But still, we got to meet every now and then in school. In high school, we were boths guides and went to the same camp together in F2. I remembered we had disagreements before, argued and parted. But somehow, the bond between us was still there. At that time, I was just too immature.
We made new friends in high school and eventually we tend to hang out with our own gang. Soon we graduated but still keep in touch. I hope that sis, we can still still be sisters forever. Miss u greatly... hope you'll do well there! Take care. Lots of hugsss from me, and lots of love too!
Happy 21st birthday, Wen!! May all your dreams come true =) Hang out again when you are back alright? Take care!

A Singaporean Friend
Kenny, is a Singaporean who came to Penang for his 1-month industrial training. He is training in the same company as Zhi Ling in Polytool and came along with us last night to Farlim night market.
I always feel proud when people give awesome comments about Penang. As usual, I asked him how he felt about Penang in his 1 month stay here. His answers were:
"The food is really nice."
"And the people are friendly."
Well, food of course I will definitely say they are delicious. But I am really glad he felt that Penangites are friendly =) Then am I friendly as well?? Haha.
Anyway he made a statement which made this 1st meeting and probably the last one an unforgettable one.
After Zhi Ling fetched me and Shyuan we chatted non-stop on the car. I would say I totally had no image in front of this new friend haha. Anyway when we reached and got down the car, he whispered to Zhi Ling about something which made Zhi Ling laughed like hell.
Zhi Ling was so excited and went on like:
ZL: "Sherril, Sherril, I want to tell you something about what Kenny said just now."
S: "What did he say? Must be something about me lo."
ZL: "He said he was shocked to see you SO SHORT."
S: "........."
S: "Haven't you seen people like me in this height??"
(I can't hear properly what he said except this sentence)
K: "我吓到。在车里我还以为你蛮高的。"
[trans: I was shocked. I thought you are tall when you're in the car]
S: "......."
S: "没看过这样矮的人meh?新加坡没有这样高度的女生meh?"
[trans: Haven't you seen such short person? Singapore does not have this kind of girls meh?]
(I think this was his answer)
K: "Nope, I haven't seen before."
S: "............" (laughing hard)
Then I quickly told him that my height is at least over 150cm and I am surely NOT the shortest in uni. Haha nothing to be proud of but nothing to be ashamed of too. I find his reactions and comments very funny because normally people's comments about me are "You are short."
But his was like "How come there is such short person on the earth?"
Haha. But he is indeed a friendly guy who happens to be in the same course as us. After chatting more with him only then I knew that there are not much chinese night markets in Singapore and he has not seen Taiwan Sausage and Lok Lok before. Cool because Penang is full of them and he can eat as much as he like since he will be leaving on Friday.
Anyway this night market trip left me wondering about 2 questions.
1. Are Singaporean girls all tall and there are really no petites at all???
2. What makes he think that I am tall in the first place based on my voice???

What is LIFE?
Finally I get to online (previously there was connection problem with my house line) and I should be blogging about something happy since I have just celebrated my 21st birthday. But something is holding me back.
Am I really 21?
I do not think so.
I do not look like 1. I do not act like 1. And my thinking is still so childish.
Suddenly, someone's words affected me a lot.
We always think how unfortunate we are, how the world is unfair to us. But really, are we that unlucky? Are we really the MOST unfortunate ones? To think of it, my answer is "No".
Perhaps, I should learn not to limit my sight. I have been living a comfortable life the moment I was born. I should be grateful for what I have had now and not to complain about it. In life, there are so many more things which are more important. But have I ever thought about that?
Because of some problems, I thought about giving up life. But there are people out there who faced greater challenges than me, yet they continued on fighting for it. What have I been thinking all this while? What is life?
Suddenly, I am lost. I am not sure what am I pursuing for in life. Happiness? Love? Success? What is my priority and what should be my major concerns??
I think I have no rights to talk about WHAT IS LIFE. All those shits that I have been talking all this while... I talked without understanding the true meaning behind it.
It is time for me to refresh my mind and look things in another perspective, viewing things in a larger picture. I need to grow up, I really need to.
Your words have stunned me. I am sorry that I have offended you. I am truly sorry.

Finally, it is my turn!
Hi people! Haha I know it has been such long time ever since the last post. Hmm was busy with finals, then went Malacca with friends.
Then finally, it is my turn for industrial training. I cannot believe that I am actually a Year 3 Engineering student already! Too bad my knowledge is like Year 1 or 2. Gotta buck up more haha. Currently I am working in Advanced Ceramics Technology under Crest Ultrasonics, just opposite Auto City.
So wondering how's my first few days of internship? Haha I am not that lucky, currently still checking stock =_= I do not have my own working place nor a computer to use. So I cannot be like the rest who can MSN here and Facebook there. All I did was to check the condition of stock (something like quality control).
Anyway I heard lots of interesting stories from my coursemates regarding their internship. The VERY MOST interesting story was Kok Yik's. He was sent by his company to Pantai Hospital to do some maintenance like air conditioner maintenance etc. You know what he saw? He saw the camera which shows the process of doctor doing operation on patient, cut here and there. Then the coolest part was he got to go into "bilik mayat"!!! Haha he said it was not fun at all and I think if I were him I would be scared to death but... that experience must be so thrilling and memorable!!!
Then those who went Sony for intern I heard that the company uses fingerprints verification for entry permit. Wow, really high tech right? But their uniform and shoes a abit... FUNNY haha. Thank god I can wear casual everyday!!!! Wohoo~!
There was another person who was really daring. He actually fall asleep for 1 hour inside the same room as his supervisor!!! And the weirdest part was his supervisor didn't even wake him up or scold him. Really.. speechless.
Some were less fortunate during their 1st day. Not only the air conditioner in their company was out of order, they had nothing to do at all. The weather was hot like hell and all they did was surfing the net and playing games.
So am I counted lucky? Haha personally I have no comments. Do you have any interesting stories about your internship? Do share if you have!
By the way, thanks my dear friends who have helped me to celebrate my birthday in advance!! Thanks for the surprise birthday for me and Zhi Ling, I am really happy ^^ That was my 1st 21st birthday celebration! Then my dear babes, thanks for your time. The cake was awesome too!! Miss you all~~
Guess I gotta go to bed early. My daily routine will be: wake up at 6am, go out at 6.45am, start work at 7.30pm, finish work at 5pm and reach home approximately at 5.30pm (if it is not raining and leave company punctually).
Happy internship and adios~!

A Special Call
Slightly before I went uni for exam, I received an unexpected call. A call that made me bewildered a moment. Guess it reminded me that no matter how old you are, in your parents' eyes, you will always be their little kid whom they will always worry and fuss about.
Because in my parents' eyes (especially my mum, serious!), I will always be the small, little girl in the house. You know till today, sometimes in my parents' conversations I can still hear them calling me "that small girl". Haha... I do not mind, since I am indeed the youngest in the family.
Anyway regarding the call, eventhough it was not from my parents, it reminded me about my own parents' concerns about me and my brother. Sometimes we may think that our parents do not understand us, but is it always that way?
Maybe at times they really do not understand due to generation gap (at least my mom is the most open-minded among her sisters, thank god!), but their constant naggings, advices are for our own good. After all, they are just worried and concern about us. That is why I have been trying hard to change my temper over these years.
Over the phone, I could sense sadness and worries in her voice. Somehow it ached my heart when I talked to her. Maybe because I could understand how she felt as we are concerned about the same person. Or maybe because it reflected to me how my parents felt all this while when I lost my temper unintentionally or when I faced some difficulties.
I hope I can change to be a better person, and I am really trying hard to achieve that. My 21st birthday wish? Ah, that would be sufficient enough.
2 more papers to go and I am done with finals. For now, I need some sleep to forget everything about today's paper. Because tonight I shall need space to memorize new stuffs for tomorrow's paper - Engineer in Society.
Wondering what is the subject all about? Nah, just forget about it because I am sure NONE of you will be interested in this subject. Really.

After all, they are just worried and concern about us. That is why I have been trying hard to change my temper over these years.
Over the phone, I could sense sadness and worries in her voice. Somehow it ached my heart when I talked to her. Maybe because I could understand how she felt as we are concerned about the same person. Or maybe because it reflected to me how my parents felt all this while when I lost my temper unintentionally or when I faced some difficulties.
I hope I can change to be a better person, and I am really trying hard to achieve that. My 21st birthday wish? Ah, that would be sufficient enough.
2 more papers to go and I am done with finals. For now, I need some sleep to forget everything about today's paper. Because tonight I shall need space to memorize new stuffs for tomorrow's paper - Engineer in Society.
Wondering what is the subject all about? Nah, just forget about it because I am sure NONE of you will be interested in this subject. Really.

A Post for You, Babe =)
Attention: This is merely a post for a special friend of mine. Do not care to read it if you do not want to since it is quite a lengthy one.
I was actually halfway through the first one, but somehow when I got back later to finish it up, I just feel I need to write another 1. Haha you know, my mood when I was writing just now and now is totally different. Do not misunderstand, I am not moody or what and also not because of you. Maybe, it is because of the exam stress or some other things.
I have been pondering Vivian Tan, how on earth can I get along well with you?
Needless to say, we know that your remarks and comments are nearly always hurtful. Yet deep down in our hearts we know that you are nearly always right. You have been pouring cold water onto me all this while. Haha did you realise that among you 3, I have never called you before and cry about my problems? I just realized that ^^
I guess it is because I have this habit of choosing the less hurtful advice to listen to. I did not want to be hurt even more. People have been telling me, you should go and let Vivi "slap you hard on your face" so that you can wake up. Haha, yeah I know but I chose not to because I was avoiding the reality.
To be frank, there were times I was mad at you, but the madness just lasted for a few minutes. Should I say you are the most rational and more to reality person among us? Or Yee? Haha... Fernie is definitely out of the list, she is too naive =) Sometimes I admire you secretly (because if I "guang ming zheng da" admire you will "boi kiao") because you can always be so daring and rational. Unlike me, always so useless.
Maybe what you told Fernie about the latest "news" was correct after all. Fernie told me last night when I called her. (Fernie, sorry k for bugging you, again) Vivi, actually I have thought of that before too. Maybe I am just stubborn. Wah, finally, I admit I am a stubborn girl. LOL.
But with you 3 around and the other sisters as well, I know I still have you all eventhough I am left with nothing else. The darkest days are over and I have really recovered. Really, I would like to apologize to you and the rest for my bad attitude and letting you all down again and again. I knew from the start 1 day when I look back I will feel that I was silly, but I was too lost that time. True enough, looking back now made me laugh my ass out of myself. I have wasted my past half year doing useless things.
I am not saying the things in the paragraph above because of the fantasy happened. Nope, not at all. Whether it happened or not, I will still be saying. Though your mouth is really really really toxic, I must admit you have your point clearly stated. Just, the way for you to show concern for your friends is a bit... harsh. Haha..
I know you will say, "Sure la, I am Vivian Tan and I am like this. Must be "tok" enough to let you all "wake up"."
Haha "dai ke jeh", maybe you should just be a little bit more gentle? But I guess, that will be weird lo if 1 day you become like this.
Oh tell you 1 more thing to let you feel happy. That day when I hang out with Fernie and the rest, she mentioned about you always asking her about how am I? Haha siao cha bor, why didn't you ask me yourself? I did not tell Fernie when she told me, but actually I was secretly touched. TOUCHED. Babe... I was touched because of you. Wanna cry liao haha. Sorry that I made you worry about me all the way from Penang k? (or you weren't?) I actually thought you already "mou ngan tai" me since I myself already "mou ngan tai" myself.
Sigh.
Anyway, ask Fernie to fill you and Yee in with the details about my call to her last night ya. I am lazy to tell again. But please... DO IT PRIVATELY in your msn. Do not spam my chatterbox with these things.... hehe
So, the question - How on earth can I get along well with you?
People who do not know you will surely hate you to the max for your "chao chui" habit. Guess because we are BFFs that is why we know that deep down in your heart, you are just concern about us. Thanks babe, I really appreciate everything though I might hate you sometimes hahaha.
That is all that I wanna say. Love you, babe ^^ I mean it =)
p/s: Eh, the other 2 of you, don't be jealous k since this post is not for you all. Haha, one day if I have the sudden urge to write, I will. Miss you all!!
pp/s: I have disabled the comment section for this entry. Get back to me when you're online k?

Heart Attack~!
Yeah those who played the game called "Heart Attack" last night all got heart attack~! Haha, those who were being hit and those who got to hit the others all went back home with reddish / blue blackish palms and hands.
It was an awesome night, celebrating 2 coursemates' birthdays at Little Tree.
They are Cho Giap and Tze Yu. Though it was nothing luxurious, it was the quality time that all of us spent together that I treasure a lot.
Cho Giap with the cake
There were 23 of us (some did not attend though) and sat around 9 tables. Seldom we had gathering of this sort as it is quite hard to gather everyone who are from different gangs. The last time should be 20 of us flooded the cinema just to watch Transformers. So it was nice having fun with the rest sometimes ^^
We played games like it was the last day of finals. But the actual fact was, we just finished with the 2nd paper, 4 more to go. But I guess last night was a break for everyone, before starting the tiring journey to Friday's paper - Entrepreneurship.
Argh, people tell me, how to memorize 15 chapters of Entrepreneurship in 3 days?! This is sooo crazy.... even crazier when Engineering students are required to take this subject. Sigh.
Worries about other things should be put aside first. I need full concentration to get everything about Entre into my brains and digest everything well.
All the best to everyone who's taking this subject. I know WE CAN DO IT!!!
*but still doubtful about myself*

10th of Septemter 2009
OMG OMG OMG!!!
Hahaha, I think I am going to be crazy soon. I have been smiling since the moment I woke up. Everything becomes so beautiful to me. Argh, so this is how people will feel huh when their wish/dream comes true.
So regarding my previous post, yeah my dream turns out to be NOT a dream after all. I am not going to tell yet what the hell is happening to me as I still want to double confirm that my dream has actually come true and not just stopping right there the next moment. LOL
I did not expect it to happen and could not even see it coming. Everything just came in 1 shot and there I was still quite stunned.
Till now, I still feel like I am dreaming.
*slap myself to wake up*
Maybe being in a fantasy for a while is not that bad after all. Let us see if this fantasy will last any longer. *praying hard*
10th of September 2009.
What a fateful day for me. I shall never forget how much joy this day has brought to me...

How will you react to impossible-turns-possible situation?
When something that you think is most likely impossible to happen actually happened, how will you react?
A. Happy until the extent that you are going crazy.
B. Stunned and speechless.
C. Normal. Since people like to say "nothing is impossible".
D. Choose not to believe and ignore.
E. Uncertain.
For me, my answer is E. I am not sure how should I react.
The actual fact is, something out of my expectation really happened. Like happened right in front of my eyes. Everything was too real, too fantasy. Until now, I still cannot believe that it actually happened and is still happening.
Am I dreaming? Please slap me as hard as you can if this is merely a dream.
I really have no idea how long will this fantasy go on.
Perhaps something went wrong and this is happening? Is it just a mistake?
Part of me wants it to be real, but part of me wants me to wake up and face the story behind it.
Or there is actually NO story behind? *shrugs shoulders*
Whatever it is, I have decided not to think too much. Right now, exam is the most important thing to me. I do not want to screw up my papers again if possible.
Currently my progress of revision is not too ideal. Have to buck up even more to get back to my usual level of readiness.
Ah and 1 more thing, I realized I am starting to handle things in a very cool and calm way after chatting with my cousins. Seeing how they are reacting right now is like looking back at myself when I was still in the emo phase. Suddenly I felt that, eh I have actually felt so much better than I thought.
Weird enough, 3 of us actually 'sat luin' together, all because of the same reason - "fan jin". Haha no wonder we are called cousins, wtf.
Alright, all the best to all UTARians for the upcoming finals. Let us face the battle bravely together!

Congratulations!
Wah flowers for me!!! I am dating again!!!! Muahaha. Faster congratulate me!!!
LOL.
If you know me well you should know they are not for me la.
Haha I was just kidding. I am not a flower person so how on earth can the flowers be for me? LOL even my ex did not give any flowers to me as I prefer some other more realistic things haha.
So who are the flowers for???
They are for her - my beloved pretty cousin!
CONGRATZ Alicia!! Finally you have graduated from Monash University. Haha actually she finished her studies last year end and had started working ever since early this year. Just that her convocation was late.
View from Sunway Hotel.Her convocation was held in Sunway Hotel last Saturday. I was honoured enough to be invited to enter the hall together with her parents as well as another cousin of mine to witness her receiving her certificate. (is that called certificate?)
The ballroom (or hall) for the ceremony.The very last time I attended a convocation ceremony was like 5 years back when my brother graduated in Queensland University of Technology. That ceremony was obviously grand and it was held in their very own hall. Sigh. You know, the campus is like super duper big, compared to my uni now. (haha I know I should not compare)
Besides that, I also went for friends' convocations but of course, not joining the ceremonies but just to snap pictures and congratulate them. Theirs all are held in HOTELS and seem to be very grand very nice.
Sigh. I know I will not share the same fate as them. Haha. I cannot compare to them anyway with the fees I am paying now, right? As long as I get to graduate with my target of achievements, I guess it will be more than enough for me XD

The 3 cousins - Me, Alicia and Joanne.Can't wait for my turn to wear the robe and the mortar-board. Haha that will be slightly after I finish my degree in May 2011, with no accidents happen in between of course.
Ah, then what will I do after that? *thinking hard*
I do not know for sure.
Most probably I will continue to study, haha provided that I get a scholarship. If not, I will just have to dismiss this idea and start working day and night.
Anyway seeing more and more people graduating, I realize that after next May, many of my friends are leaving uni already. Those friends taking 3-year courses like Bio and Chemistry will graduate in next May. That time my house will be empty, leaving me and Shyuan alone to the whole house.
Then those friends who are senior than me will finish their engineering courses too in next May. Those in FAS will also graduate. Sigh. Everything will be so different then. No more hanging out with those crazy fellas, no more gatherings with those 38 people, no more trips with those adventurous people.... Will life be duller?
And the thought of having to attend so many people's convo really tires me out haha.

RC Car Race
So today is finally the BIG DAY for all those who are taking Control Systems this semester.
We had RC Car Race today. It was our assignment to build a RC Car. The 1 to win the race will get bonus marks for the assignment.
The track for the cars to run.
Well needless to say, my group started late again. Muahaha. And in the end, my group did not compete in the race.
Miss Chan asked,"Why cannot run?"
Our answer was,"There are problems with our control."
Yea, indeed we had problems with our control. The whole system just did not function as it should be. Sometimes it could function but sometimes it could not. Guess the reason was because our circuits were all done on breadboards. We DID NOT solder them and the connections must be loose.
NOT because we wanted to save money or what, it was because we were not sure if our connections were correct or not. So in the end, using breadboard was easier to correct our error.
Anyway throughout this assignment I learned a lot especially in assembly programming and electronics part. Quite fun at the beginning but got frustrated in the end haha.
Some random pictures taken while waiting for the lecturer to evaluate our prototype:
Everyone in my course wore this green class T.
Having some illegal discussion I suppose? Haha
Tadaa!! The 4 shortest people in MH!! We're all of different ages.
(excluding the most right hand guy)
Me and Shyuan did not sleep for the entire night. Coursemates from C-20-10 came over too to discuss about the servo programming part.
The c-20-10 representatives.
My living room was like a mini workshop, packed with wires, cutters, laptops etc.
Well, initially everyone was damn hardworking, working on own tasks.
Then around 6 something in the morning, the guys all "tou ta" haha. Everyone was too exhausted to think properly.
Supposingly the race should start at 12pm behind SE block. But around 11.30am we were still trying out the damn servo program to control our spoiler.
Notice the time?
In the end of course we reached late. But oh well, leave that aside now. Show you some RC Car models:
C-20-10's RC Car model - 2nd prize 4th prize!
Hummer group - 3rd prize! (really pro)
Mak ko's RC Car model
Heard that they are going to use this car to compete in some competition.

Well before I end this post, I have something to say...
I am very happy!
Yes, I am! Eventhough I did not sleep for the whole night, eventhough there are still assignments left, I am still happy.
Why?
Haha.. no reasons maybe? Just, H-A-P-P-Y :)
Well, need to go and take a rest first. Tomorrow need to hand up Micro-p assignment!!

I don't know
Sometimes, you just do not how to react to people's remarks.
*
I wish I can talk to you in a very friendly way, like how friends should talk.
But I guess this is almost impossible for us.
Why? Why everytime we must sound like we are arguing over some unimportant stuffs?
Why must you just talk to me in that particular way?
Frankly, I feel very annoyed.
I wonder, when will this shit end?
*
I am not sure about you guys, but I really hate it when I tell people this:
"I think I did badly." *moody*
"I think I will fail it. How?" *eyes with tears*
Then they give me this reply:
"Aiya you say only la. Listen 1st. Your results sure better than mine."
Sigh. Totally speechless.
I do not simply tell people that if I do not feel so. Maybe you all might think I exaggerated, but seriously most of the times I was quite positive that I screwed up the papers. I totally have no confidence in myself because I know I am not Shyuan.
When results came out and turned out to be better than I thought, you all said I was pretending.
=_=''
People, how am I going to know it would turn out like this?
I guess next time the best thing I should do is to remain silent after exam. Happy or not, I just keep it to myself.
I know myself too well. I cannot maintain my grades because I am not a pro. I am just a normal student who always procrastinate yet try her best in her exams. Who will not I wonder? No one likes to fail, isn't it?
Sometimes, you really just do not know how to react to such comments.

The world is very big
This phrase is true after all :)
There are still so many things that I have yet to experience,
like sky diving and water rafting.
So many people that I just started to know or whom I may know in the future, food that I yearn to try and places that I wish to travel to and the list goes on....
I want to go surfing at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii,
and scuba diving at Sabah.
I know I said I am going to hate my 21st year old birthday and this has been a dreadful year for me. But to think on the positive side, I should take those problems of mine as challenges for me to learn my lessons and grow up to think and act like a 21-year old girl. No more childish stuffs and actions.
Somebody said he wanted to read emo blog. Haha I think sooner or later he will need to cross my blog out from the emo category. This blog was never meant to be a emo blog, because it did not started out this way. But since the emo period is going to end soon, the level of emo-ness of this blog will be decreased.
Dom Dom, if you happen to read my blog no worries. Xue Le will always be Xue Le who is always full of snow happiness. You all gave me this nickname is because I used to be a happy girl isn't it?
I am glad I met many wonderful people around me, some are those whom I was not aware of at the very beginning. They have indeed brightened up my days. To those that I have made you guys disappointed, I am sorry about that. There just had to be times like that until you finally find a way back. So, please forgive me =)
Lastly, I would like wish my best buddy whom I have known for 12 years - Ying Chian a very Happy 21st Birthday!! Another friend turning 21. Haha I am considered young!!!
Sorry, I have not uploaded my latest picture with you. But oh well, this picture reminds me about my long hair days...
Darling, I really hope you have a great birthday this year. You are always a great friend to me and I am very glad that until today, we still remain as best friends. *Mwah* love you lots!!

There are still so many things that I have yet to experience,
like sky diving and water rafting.
So many people that I just started to know or whom I may know in the future, food that I yearn to try and places that I wish to travel to and the list goes on....
I want to go surfing at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii,
and scuba diving at Sabah.
I know I said I am going to hate my 21st year old birthday and this has been a dreadful year for me. But to think on the positive side, I should take those problems of mine as challenges for me to learn my lessons and grow up to think and act like a 21-year old girl. No more childish stuffs and actions.
Somebody said he wanted to read emo blog. Haha I think sooner or later he will need to cross my blog out from the emo category. This blog was never meant to be a emo blog, because it did not started out this way. But since the emo period is going to end soon, the level of emo-ness of this blog will be decreased.
Dom Dom, if you happen to read my blog no worries. Xue Le will always be Xue Le who is always full of snow happiness. You all gave me this nickname is because I used to be a happy girl isn't it?
I am glad I met many wonderful people around me, some are those whom I was not aware of at the very beginning. They have indeed brightened up my days. To those that I have made you guys disappointed, I am sorry about that. There just had to be times like that until you finally find a way back. So, please forgive me =)
Lastly, I would like wish my best buddy whom I have known for 12 years - Ying Chian a very Happy 21st Birthday!! Another friend turning 21. Haha I am considered young!!!
Sorry, I have not uploaded my latest picture with you. But oh well, this picture reminds me about my long hair days...
Darling, I really hope you have a great birthday this year. You are always a great friend to me and I am very glad that until today, we still remain as best friends. *Mwah* love you lots!!

The urge did not persist
That is why I am back here, with a new layout. LOL
Well, maybe if I really stop blogging it does not make any difference to you all since I am not those top bloggers and I personally feel that my blog is very dull. But, like what KLCK said was true.
Reading back my posts, I am glad that I blogged. Not only sweet memories were jotted down in words and pictures, some posts reminded me who I used to be and what I should not do in the future to prevent history from happening.
Anyway, this new layout is still under construction as there are still some codings that need to be edited. The tabs are not functioning as they should. Wonder what was wrong with my coding. Sigh. I have returned the things that I have learnt in Web Page Design during Foundation.
Currently, I am busy with assignments and tomorrow will be having my last midterm test - Engineer in Society. So, I guess I will get back to my editing after I am done with those. Supposingly, I should be joining Famine 30 this weekend. But due to the incomplete workload, Shyuan and I did not go. I hope that my friends who are the organizers are not mad with our sudden withdrawal. Sorry!
This is what I did. Studying while chatting in MSN. That is why I screwed up my Saturday's midterm. *crying hard* I am so 'dai sei'.
This is the circuit board before soldering started....
That's me, soldering the components.
Oh yeah by the way, it is getting longer day by day. Can't wait for it to be long long again!!!
Tadaa!!!! The completed circuit board (PIC is missing)
Haha, I was commented as being clumsy while soldering. Not only a few helai of my hair was burnt (because I looked too near), even my lappie was hurt. Sweat. Now there are scars on my new laptop.
Ok, so done with my update. Lastly I would like to wish Ruth, Shyuan and Li Pei
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!!!

Stopping right here?
Suddenly, I had the sudden urge to stop blogging. I mean like really stop and never continue again.
I began blogging more than 2 years ago. Started off when friends around me started to blog and I thought I would try and see since I love writing.
Throughout these 2 years, indeed many things happened. There are happy, sad, disappointed, angry memories.... until 1 point I decided to stop living. All these memories were being jotted down in this and my previous blog.
From a 19-year old teenager, I am going to turn 21 in about 2 months time. I am no longer a kid. 21... an age that many teenagers hope to reach and never get any older. They say this is when a person is given the key of freedom because they are officially adults.
How I wish I will never turn 21. This is such a dreadful year for me. How I wish I can forever stay at the age of 18. Many things happened in just a year.
I entered and came out from NS. Made new friends from all over the country and stayed in a rural area without internet for 3 months. Then I actually entered a university and chosen a course which all of these were never in my list of choices. Fated huh? If not for that, I would not have met him would not have endured so many things. Life changed significantly after I entered uni. Living away from home was never easy and I remembered how I used to miss home constantly till the point I would cry silently. So childish of me.
Like I said, everything happened for a reason. And I hope this will stay true till the day I die.
So back to the point. Why had the sudden urge? Jason asked, "Oh, just sudden urge?"
Haha yeah maybe. Feel like wanna isolate a bit, live in my own world for the time being. The world beyond my own is too cruel sometimes.
So, will the urge persist? I am unsure. Maybe yes maybe no. It is up to me to decide after all. But for the time being, I will not blog too often.
There is this song that I have been listening over and over again for the past few days. I wonder am I like what it was described in the song? If it is so, I would be better off. But quite doubt the last sentence.
Take care people!!!! And please pray for me that I will not screw up my Control Systems midterm.
突然累了
是时候休息了。
p/s: 祝你面试成功！

每件事情的发生一定有它的原因
这两天发生了一些事情。 仔细的想，我知道其实并不是一件大事也并没有我自认那么严重。但是我就是有那种内疚感，觉得很自责，甚至有点失望。
大家放心，这并不是关系到我的感情事。
唉，或许我把些事情看得太重了吧？都怪我自己死性不改，往往不经意的把事情看得太重。
他说我看错了。是吗？
也许吧！
想不到最后让我最头痛的不是那些我看不过眼的，而是我最看好的。
世事难料吧？以后不敢到处张扬我的看法了。。。还亏我宣传了给大家听。
真可笑。
Anyway，现在有个了断也好。免得拖拖拉拉的。。希望这件事没带给大家很大的困扰。
我没事，只是想太多。都说了，我是个多愁善感的人哈哈。
好开心明天可以离开这里几天，与我的母亲大人聚一聚。
好庆幸当晚失控的我并没有把她从梦境吵醒。不然一定让她担心死了。
每件事情的发生一定有它的原因，不是吗？
我相信，绝对有原因。

How do you want your life to be?
Phew!! I can sigh in relief for the time being. Why?
Because we have just completed another assignment and handed it up! 2 more assignments and 1 report in pending status.....
This explains why it is taking me longer and longer to update my dead blog. Gah, my time is devoted to all assignments, tests and some mini outings. Most of us stayed up late last night (some even did not sleep and straight away went to classes from 9am - 7pm) just to complete our AI assignment. Of course, my group is no exception to this last minute action. Sigh.
Analyzing those codings really made me frustrated, a bit. Haha. Hey, I really do have interest in programming if not I would not be joining the Programming Team in Robotics Society. LOL. But reading those codings not written by myself is really headache, especially when you do not know what the programmer is trying to do. Anyway, thanks people who have sent us the codings for reference!
Like I said, I wanted to give myself a break last weekend and I did! Muahaha had a relaxing time at my cousin's house. Watched "The Little Nyonya" or more known as "小娘惹"for 2 nights and I have finished watching it! Totally in love with the drama.
It about the story of a Nyonya's life and the plot revolves around Malacca and Singapore decades ago. Through this drama, audience is exposed to the culture of Baba and Nyonya. The main actress is totally unbelievable. A person like her who is so kind, rational and always so forgiving indeed exists but I am sure the numbers left in the world are not a lot. This is such a realistic world, sometimes we really need to shield ourselves in order to survive, isn't it?
Anyway 1 thing that I really agree with the storyline is karma.
Personally, I do believe in karma. I believe that what we do today will be reflected back to us in the future. People who do good deeds sincerely will be repaid for their kindness. But for those who are cruel and evil, one day they will receive their karma and get punished severely. Not only their evil doings will bring them harm, they are indirectly causing pain to their beloved ones as well. Because the pain that you suffer from seeing your beloved ones getting hurt is far more painful than you yourself suffering in pain.
And because of karma, I am here in this state today. It is a punishment for me for my mistakes done in the past. Muahaha... but in the movie, the main actress is really outstanding. She can think differently among those people in that decade and most importantly, she did not succumb to fate.
I, MUST NOT succumb to fate too. Hahaha... I believe sometimes some things are fated to happen. But there are also times that we can do something to change our fate. My thinking is, there is no definite path in one's life. What I do now will lead me to paths connecting to it. Maybe initially my life should be this way, but because of decisions that I have made, I changed my life.
I have encountered that and it will always remind me to think wisely before making any decisions. Our life path depends on the decisions we make everyday ^^
How do you want your path to be?
And just a little update about myself. I think I have grabbed hold of myself and found a way back. I am almost back to my old self despite some minor changes in me. Scars will never disappear and memories will always be there but they will always remind me who I was, what I did and how I have grown.
Sherril Leow, welcome back!~
Dark clouds are finally moving away!

Completed Entrepreneurship Assignment!
Finally we have completed the 15-page Entrepreneurship Assignment!
3 more assignments in pending status - Microcontroller, Control Systems and AI.
Friday having Law midterm. I wonder why must we take this subject?
This weekend I gonna give myself a break. This kind of life is pressuring me like hell. Reports, assignments, activities, personal life... they are all giving me a severe headache.
Actually I have been progressing quite good lately. Well, at least this is what I think. Though the situation has worsen if compared to the beginning of semester, I tried to ignore what is happening. Maybe being ignorant and not to ask too much questions is the best I could do to save myself from being trapped in a hole of sadness. Being BLUR as well is something I have to do.
I tried to refrain myself from facebook-ing. Not because I am an addict which I know I am not, but due to some predictable circumstances. I know 1 day I shall still need to face it, but for the time being, ignoring everything is the best for me.
I may be rubbish, useless and unimportant, but till today I am still alive. Sometimes I wish I can just disappear from this world but I know fate is not decided by me. So I guess I shall hang on till the day I have set myself to a total freedom :)
By the way, regarding my 'watermelon' hair, though I hate it quite much, I must admit that I have started to find reasons not to hate it so much.
1. I realized that my dandruff problem is totally UNDER CONTROL!!! Hahaha.. so happy!
2. I can finish bathing in less than 15 mins because now my hair is much shorter.
3. I do not need to blow my hair dry again.
4. Maybe having shorter hair will give me less worries :)
Till here, want to take a look at Law notes before going to bed. Argh.. week 9 is going to end soon. Time really flies huh?

感想
今天的我，又很想用华语写部落。不懂何时开始，我已开始慢慢爱上用华语表达我内心话。或许是因为。。 哈哈或许就是那个原因吧！无论如何，请大家多多包涵，因为我懂我的语法实在是烂得透底！
今天很开心的过了一天。岳宏说 得没错，有那两个废材，气氛不轻松也是假的哈哈。或许对彼此的真正认识并不深，但是在一起的时候的确给人很快乐的感觉。身为饭团的一分子，虽然不是那个最 出众的一个 （毕竟没有ah keat那么夸张那么搞笑的行为），但是应该要很感谢大家当初没有因为认为我很跩所以排坼我。其实我不是跩， 只是我没笑时看起来会比较严肃。
最近，他们这三个都一直问我：
“Sherril，为什么在家也要戴帽子？”
“Sherril，为什么你要戴假发？”
“Sherril, 你可以脱掉你的安全帽吗？”
T_______________T + =_______________=''
太过分了！竟然取笑我的短发。
哈哈不过照了照镜子，的确有戴帽子的感觉。圆圆的，丑到要死。算了，反正我凉爽就好。头发会长的，不是吗？？？
上面那几张照片是在上个周末在Kampar Grand Hotel 拍的。我们当时是参加了“下乡人相见欢大聚会”。那是一个让下乡人（下过乡的人）参加的一个交流会兼研讨会。
虽然我已下过乡了，但是身为协调员的我们还是有责任带领新的一团人。参加下乡团的人不是纯粹去玩，而是还背负着一个使命。 我自认没做得很好，没和我的谊弟谊妹时常联络。但是我也希望新一团的人可以像我们一样，从中成长。新的团员们，你们一定要加油咯！
参加下乡团，不只是做了有意义的事，还交到了一班疯疯癫癫的朋友。不错啦！！大家快点鼓掌！*ah keat 和 文耀在自high了哈哈。 不过他们两个其实早在参加traveler's den 时就认识了，并且并肩作战了两年啊！！有时还真是烦死人，一会儿告诉你他肚子饿，一会儿说泻肚子。。。由他们在一唱一和的，你的耳朵绝对不会清静 :)
就是他们俩。。恶心死了！！ :)
好啦，我该去睡卧的美人觉了。希望今晚可以一睡到天亮。好久已没那样了。。几乎每晚都会做梦，醒来时感觉很疲累。都多久了，这个现象还是不能改变 :(
晚安啦各位！！
p/s: 饭团们，翻开你们的回忆录看看专属你们的那几面。。我想你们看了一定会回想很多好笑的画面^^

该不该呢？
刚到家，今天出了一整天的门真的好累哦！最近都时常把自己累坏，到家冲凉就倒头大睡。人家说，这样好嘛，生活充实，而且可以避免让自己有时间胡思乱想。
唉，但是事到如今，我还能胡思乱想吗？事实摆在眼前，接受了事实，决定也做了。我现在需要的，大概是些私人时间吧？忙得如此，根本没时间让自己好好休息，调整心情，重整思绪，是我自找的啦。
或许我们之间有了些误会。我很想澄清，但又觉得是否会太多余呢？解释了，是否情况会改进呢？我不懂，真的没头绪，因为我开始觉得，我们很陌生了。是不是每个误会都必须澄清？还是有些时候应该保持沉默，才是对你对我最好的选择？
习惯了你的不理不睬，也习惯了你的刻意冷漠和避开。也许你觉得这是最好的解决方案吧！或许吧！但是我想说其实有没有这样，我已经遵守诺言没再给自己假希望了。如果你看到了这一句，那么你大可以放心了！
我是个多愁善感的人，如果大家觉得有时我好像没什么心情，请别误会，更千万别扯到那件事。因为这绝对与那件事无关，纯粹是我的个人问题。
所有的事情都该随风飘走了。我现在最想要的就是还我自己一个清静的心。
死了的东西，是不会再复活了。

Bad Day
Bad day. Damn bad day.
Became a joke of the day I guess.
Regretted? Maybe. But I just had to bear with it to overcome my problem.
I know I look like a kid and can you all please don't repeat it over and over again?!!! It is my business to do so so just leave me peacefully ok? Wanna cry liao.
You think I want to become a kid? It just did not turn out to be what I have expected that's all.
And I cut it due to several reasons but none of them is to become cuter so please do not ask me that k?
Shall not step out of my house if not needed.
Saw something that messed up my mind. Maybe it is me thinking nonsense again.
When can all these crap stop huh?
Pissed at myself. Really pissed.
不肯面对伤口的人总被当成笑话。

Back to High School Days
OMG you will not believe it.
After keeping my hair long ever since I graduated from high school, I actually gathered my courage and went to have my hair cut short. Very short, just like back in high school days.
I can't believe I actually did that.
And the results?
A very big sigh. When can my hair become long again??
Well, it is not ugly, but not pretty either. Beforehand people had already said that I look like a 18 or 19-year old girl. And now? I look like 15. Sigh. GINA LOOK.
I do not exactly hate my hair since it is now so much lighter and easier to maintain, but sometimes I do care what people think about it.
He will not fall for me again. No way.
Well, I hope my sacrifice will be beneficial as in I can control my extreme dandruff problem. Mom and Kuak said that by cutting my hair short, I can control the annoying problem of mine. I really hope it works this time. So for the time being, the scalp treatment which costs me about 100 over bucks shall be on hold.
I shall NEVER cut my hair short again if my dandruff problem does not persist.
Anyway it is a fresh look for me, a new look.
So people, PLEASE DON'T LAUGH AT ME when you see me in uni ok? Thanks in advance.
No pictures of me for the time being. Now I hate taking pictures of myself because I do not look ok at all in pictures. Like what Chris said, I look like a watermelon. So round.
I will be boarding the 2pm bus back to KL later. I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!!!!

After keeping my hair long ever since I graduated from high school, I actually gathered my courage and went to have my hair cut short. Very short, just like back in high school days.
I can't believe I actually did that.
And the results?

Beijing - Day 2
NOTE 1: Click the links to read detailed information about that particular place/thing.
NOTE 2: It is a very long post. Sorry if you think I am very long-winded.
At far
Our 1st family group photo - 11 of them are related.
Some public buses are operated by electricity.
See? He is stuck.
"Zheng Yang Men" (正阳门）. Will talk about this in upcoming posts.
Cute huh?
Full of bicycles.
Their version of trishaw.
Most of the roadside shops are about this size.
Heading into the 'city'.
So many...
Quite a nice garden.
This Fangshan Restaurant is situated inside Beihai Park (北海公园).
Inside the park,
we felt very relaxed.
Mainly because there were lots of trees (very green),
Tour guide became our waiter voluntarily because he was thirsty.
Appetizers
(I) Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests
Anyway, this building has some stunning architecture facts:
I wish I could lie down on the grass and sleep. So comfy.

Finally after so much of procrastination, here is my 2nd day trip in Beijing. Haha Kae Vin was already saying me being a lazy pig. I hate you Kae Vin!! =)
There are a few things that I love about China - the history, ancient culture and the breathtaking sceneries.
I am embarrassed to say that being a true Chinese who came from Chinese school, I do not really know about the history of China and those famous historical personage. Besides, I am never too keen to read up books and articles about them. But then, I am very much fascinated by the ancient buildings, sculptures, workmanship and ideas. I think I will really consider the option of learning more about its history when I am free.
So for my 2nd day, basically below are the few places that we went to. But first let me introduce my tour guide in Beijing whom we called Xiao Wang.

He thinks he looks handsome. So Hua Loong, what do you think huh? You or him? Haha
This was our 1st destination.
At farYou must be wondering, why of all shapes, it must be built in a hemisphere shape surrounded by water? WHY??
Work your brains. Relate facts about China, a country that strongly believes in Feng Shui.
It is believed that everything must be in BALANCE (like Yin Yang concept). So, when there is a square, there must a circle too. Same applies to buildings. There is a squarish building facing it (not directly opposite, it's more like North-South or East-West thingy). To balance it, it is built in hemisphere. The water surrounding it will create reflection of the building, making it into a complete round building.
What a brilliant idea, isn't it?

Our 1st family group photo - 11 of them are related.Then we walked all the way to The Forbidden City (紫禁城/故宫).
On the way I noticed something, something that you will not get to see in Malaysia. The flowers planted on the pavement or beside the main roads were all so colourful and eye catching. The colours were even more vibrant than the colours of the flowers planted in my own garden. LOL

Here's only 1 sample. There are other colours like yellow, orange etc. I think even if this flower can be planted in Malaysia at the pavement, within hours, all you can see is just a dead plant.
However the traffic in Beijing is no different to the traffic here. Jam to the max during peak hours. The only difference is, there is no special lane for cyclists in Malaysia. And we do not see a bunch of cyclists cycling down the road to work.

Some public buses are operated by electricity.If you say Penang people drive recklessly, then we are no compare to China people. Not only their traffic is jumbled up, they practically do not follow the rules. Do not ever trust the traffic lights when you cross the road, because drivers will still drive on even though it is time for them to stop and let pedestrians to cross the road.
See? He is stuck.And they can make U-turns at nearly anywhere whenever they like. 1 word to describe - Geng!
"Zheng Yang Men" (正阳门）. Will talk about this in upcoming posts.Cute huh?Full of bicycles.Their version of trishaw.Most of the roadside shops are about this size.2. Forbidden City (紫禁城/ 故宫）
I am sure many of you have heard about this place. So I will not talk more about it but instead let the pictures do their job alright? *getting lazy lol*
Bro, Me, Mei Lee and Shyuan
Behind us is Gate of Heavenly Peace - "Tian'anmen" (天安门).
Who is more handsome? My brother or Mao Zedong?
From far, the portrait looked like a high-resolution photo. It is said that the portrait is very special in a sense that no matter from where you look at the drawing, Chairman Mao's eyes will always look right into your eyes. Well out of curiosity I tried to look at his eyes from various directions and came to a conclusion, which is - Bullshit. All those crap was just human's psychological reactions (心理作用）.
Anyway I am quite amazed with the painter of this portrait. You know, the portrait is 6 meters high. To draw such a hell big portrait and make it looks soooo real is really not easy. Salute!! And 1 more thing, they need to change the portrait annually. I wonder if it is the same painter who draws a new portrait of Chairman Mao every year? If so, then his life is devoted to drawing this portrait LOL.
Heading into the 'city'.The main gate is so huge and heavy. Wonder how those ancient people could open or close the door in such a short time?
So many...
Imperial roof decoration of highest status.
Bottom: Hall of Preserving Harmony (保和殿)
As we were not allowed to enter the hall, maybe because tourists might spoil the historic items, so all we could do was to squeeze with others just to have a look and to snap a few shots. Seriously I hate this kind of situation.
Part of the city
Even on normal working days, many of the tourists were China people from various parts of China. Don't they need to work?
1 of the halls
Wall design 
Notice the colour difference between the dragon's head and body?
You know why the head is so shining and is in its original colour? Haha Chinese are always superstitious. They believe that by rubbing the dragon's head it will bring you good luck. Well no harm trying anyway.
A human-look tree.
A huge piece of Burmese Jade (if I am not mistaken)
Gilded lion - “Pi Xiu" (貔貅）
Quite a nice garden.
As we exit..
I would say, the 'city' is really really huge. Well actually everything is huge in China because what they have is SPACE. But won't it be tiring and time consuming to walk from 1 Court to another Court? If I were to live in that century inside the palace, I think I will be very slim with all the walkings =)
3. Fangshan Restaurant (仿膳饭庄)
As the name says, it is a restaurant which serves imitation of imperial court cuisine that the royals used to eat. Wow, sounds cool huh?
Undoubtedly the food was quite nice, but undeniably, there were dishes that we found quite weird. Anyway this was not the best meal I had in Beijing. Will talk about the best meal I had in the later posts.

Inside the park,
we felt very relaxed.
Mainly because there were lots of trees (very green),
and it was breezy.
Actually we were very hungry but we still need to walk along such a long hallway to reach the entrance of the restaurant.
Then, we were greeted by waiters and waitresses dressed in "Gege"(格格) and "Taijian" (太监) uniform.
My beloved grandmother was of course offered the seat (should be throne) of the Empress. Sitting beside her were my dad and uncle, who at that time looked more like her maid.
Tour guide became our waiter voluntarily because he was thirsty.
Appetizers
Main dishes
4. Temple of Heaven - "Tiantan" (天坛)
We spent our entire afternoon in "Tiantan". Personally I quite like this place, mainly because of the uniqueness of the structure.
Basically it comprises of 3 main sections:- Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (祈年殿)
- Imperial Vault of Heaven (皇穹宇)
- Circular Mound Altar (圆丘坛)
(I) Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests
I wonder why such a big building must be built for the Emperor to pray for good harvest?
Anyway, this building has some stunning architecture facts:
- 32 meters high with a diameter of 30 meters
- only 28 pillars are used to solely support the whole structure
- there are no beams no nails
- inner 12 pillars represent 12 months of a year - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
- outer 12 pillars represent the divisions of day and night
(II) Imperial Vault of Heaven
It is a place used to keep wooden tablets for worships. This structure also has a few interesting facts:
Is the bride pretty?
(III) Circular Mound Altar
It is a place used to keep wooden tablets for worships. This structure also has a few interesting facts:
- 19.5 meters high and has a diameter of 15.6 meters
- built entirely from wood
- supported by 8 pillars
- the roof has no beams but has brackets entwined within each other (dynamics principles)
- the wall around the structure is called the Echo Wall (回音壁）
- the center marble pathway is known as Triple-sound Stone (三音石） [I do not have a pic]
Is the bride pretty?If not mistaken, the wall behind her should be the Echo Wall. We tried and we succeeded hearing the voice of the men on the opposite side of wall.
As for the Triple-sound Stone, we failed to get the desired results because the place was rather noisy.
I am very amazed at the cleverness of these builders. Really marvelous.

This platform was where the Emperor used to pray for favorable weather.
See the circular thing that my mom stood on? It is the highest terrace and it has interesting acoustic effect. Your voice can be magnified (resonant and sonorous) magically, if you stand on it and speak out.

I failed to magnify my voice at the beginning. But then I managed to find out how to do it. Your voice must not be sharp but must be low and firm, like an Uncle's voice. I am not sure why but at least it worked for me and the rest of people.
But anyway, acoustic effect was because of the echo of our voice. The balustrades around the platform send our voice back to us when we speak.
Very colourful background
I wish I could lie down on the grass and sleep. So comfy.
To end the day before dinner, we were brought to Beijing Red Theater to watch Kung Fu performance.
Frankly, I did not really enjoy the performance. In fact it was quite boring and some of us actually dozed off a while.
Kung Fu performance should be very lively, full of energy.
But this performance was like a short play about "The Legend of Kung Fu". I personally feel that they danced more than they performed kung fu LOL. If I get to choose, I would rather go and watch "Bian Lian" -- Face-changing. But since I have watched that before during my previous trip Jiu Zai Gou, I should just take this as a change.
6. Wangfujing Street (王府井大街）
After dinner we headed to Wangfujing Street. Vehicles were not allowed along the street so it was packed with people.
The shops ranges from discounted shops to high-end shops.
There was a shopping mall too.
I totally heart this Nike shop!!!
If you are someone who loves to read books and at the same time buy them, it is a MUST to visit Wangfujing Bookstore, which is 1 of the largest bookstores in Beijing. A group mate who made research before joining this tour said that the books were sold at a quite fair price. Too bad I did not do my homework before going to China so missed out the opportunity to visit it =(
Traffic lights specially for cyclists.
So, the trip for 2nd day officially ended after cruising around the city for a while to look at the night scenery. Everyone was exhausted because we walked extremely a lot on this day.
