Lovely Memories

So last few days I stayed in Penang to accompany my brother. Time flies so fast. He was actually back here for a month already! Just sent him off back to Brisbane early at 5am this morning. *sob sob*

Some colourful houses that we passed by

 

Friday was sort of a gathering for us cousins. 5 of us went dim sum, then followed my brother to buy Nikon D3100 (which I am using now as well). The weather was super hot so my brother generously treated us a cold sweety meal at Haagen Dazs!

Believe it or not, it was my first time dining there. This kind of ice-cream is too luxurious for me. But my brother wanted to treat us so of course choose something expensive

Yummy Indulgence

 

Chocolate chips, tiramisu and rum & raisin

Everyone commented that I look like my brother especially when we smile. Hmm, same meh?????

 

3 D3100 users among 5 of us haha

 

After that, we started our scheduled plan, which was to take some portrait photos for my cousin, WC at Straits Quay. So Shyuan and I tried for the 1st time with our D3100 to do portrait photoshoot.

By the way, I am not a pro photographer so please do not compare with others. Pictures below are just for sharing purpose

Now let me introduce my another cousin, WC! Most of you only know Shyuan through my blog or friends of circle. Now below this pretty girl is also one of my cousin. Another siao cha bo among us

My favourite pic of all for the day!

 

The last few days were very precious to me because first of all my brother was still in Malaysia and went crazy with us, Secondly it has been a while since we 3 girls hang out together together with her sister! Apart from these, I actually helped my grandma to prepare some ingredients for “bak zhang" and played with my little niece and nephew.

I can just say, everything was perfect!

Family is always the best, isn’t it? ♥♥

 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 

Till here! Gotta get ready and head to airport. My 1st backpacking journey starts tomorrow!

 

Cheers

To Accept or Not To Accept?

Good news for me is I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATED

Bad news for me is, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

People may think that I am still reluctant to settle down and work and still want to play around and enjoy life. Yes I admit that I am still reluctant to face the real working world. In fact, I am starting to get scared. But I know the limits, and I do not wish to get allowance from parents anymore since I have graduated.

But, which direction should I head to?

Should I accept the job offer or turn down and hunt for another job?

I have some considerations in mind that I think are important. But at this moment, should these considerations be my priorities?

張家界、長江三峽之旅 (Preview)

Hello people! How are you guys doing lately? Muahaha I have just came back from China yesterday. Very tiring yet  very recharged!

I could see that my last blog post was dated 12 May. So sorry for not updating often. After finals I was busy packing and moving my stuffs back to Penang. Then my bro went down KL and I was busy being his driver. After that was our annual family trip to China and this time we went Zhangjiajie 張家界 and Changjiang Sanxia 長江三峽.

The vacation was 10 days long. We took flights, travelled long hours on buses, stayed four nights on 5 star cruise, walked and climbed up hills and steps and took boat rides to have better view of sceneries. Hotels that we stayed were superb and food was great but got very disgusting in the end because the food was almost the same especially on cruise.

Most importantly, we have added a brand new chapter of China’s partial history and culture into our book of knowledge. Time to do more research and tidy up my notes that I have jotted down during the journey.

And the best part is, we together as a big family (16 of us) have once again travelled together, spent great time together and made new friends at the same time. I absolutely love the time we spent together and will cherish those moments.

I really ♥ my family

Will endure my 1st backpacking experience with friends next week and am now busy planning my part of schedule. Thus, most probably will blog about my China trip after my backpacking trip!

Take care people! ♥

Goodbye?

After the last paper in my final sem in uni, everyone was happy. I could see my friends’ FB status were all about “Yay, I have graduated!” “Goobye UTAR!” or even “The end. Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering.”

So what about me? What was my feeling? I was supposed to feel happy, but why? Why I did not feel the adrenaline pleasure flow in me? Guess for the time being till the release of results, I shall not declare that I have graduated, just in case. My performance in exam was not good.

Anyway…. 5 years have gone by and now, a whole new life is waiting for me. Kinda excited, yet at the same time I am scared. What should I do next? What is it that I really want to achieve in life? I will ponder over this question during my vacations. New places and new experiences, here I come!

5 years in KL is indeed quite a long time, Many things happened here. Met all sorts of people. Joined all sorts of activities and done crazy stuffs. I love my student life, yet I know it should end somewhere now. Gonna miss here so much, though I always grumble about my uni and KL. Gonna miss the people, the place, the food, the life etc etc etc……

Hopefully, I can graduate in time!

Dinner @ Betty’s Midwest Kitchen

Wednesday was my Final Year Project (FYP) presentation. Not sure about my performance as I could answer some of the questions by my moderator but there were some questions that I could not answer. Hopefully, that was my FINAL presentation for my UNI life. I do not want to extend another sem just for that!

OK, enough of FYP. This week is supposed to be my study week as my 1st final exam paper for this sem is on next Tuesday. 3 more papers for my uni life. Seriously, I hope everything can be smooth!!!!

So after my presentation on Wednesday, I decided to meet up my babes for one last time before I move back to Penang (if things go on smoothly for finals and fyp). Hence, we went to Betty’s Midwest Kitchen in Aman Suria. Followed GPS all the way from home and finally found that lovely place

 

Kuak and I reached first and my, the place was already packed with people! It was a weekday, yet it was full. The food should be nice, I thought.

Once we reached the place, a very diligent and polite waiter came out to serve us. We were asked to take a seat at the waiting area outside the restaurant while waiting for my friends to arrive. I would say, the service was superb, from the time we reached till we left. Thumbs up for Betty’s Midwest Kitchen!

While waiting for them to arrive,

 

Kuak was busy on the phone while I was busy capturing photos of the surroundings at the waiting area.

 

 

After the gang arrived, coincidently there were tables available inside the restaurant so all of us shifted inside. A very nicely decorated interior. Too bad we went at very peak hour so it was actually quite noisy. If we were to dine like 5.30pm, maybe it would better and feel more cozy.

Despite the amount of customers that flooded the place, food was served quite quickly. Another thumb up for Betty’s!

 

Some pictures of our food!

#1 Classical Meatloaf   ::  More American Favourites  (RM16.50)

 

#2 Pork Chop with Country Gravy     :: Pork Chops  (RM23.00)

 

#3 Home-Style Macaroni & Cheese    ::  Pasta Dishes  (RM15.00)

 

#4 Soft Ribs    ::  Grilled Pork Ribs & Belly  (RM29.50)

 

Tam jiak gui!

 

#5 Pig-in-a-blanket    :: Side Orders  (RM12.00)

 

#6 House Coleslaw    :: Side Orders   (RM5.00)

 

The portions of food served were quite large (maybe to me and my friends). The gravy for #1 Classical Meatloaf and #2 Pork Chop with Country Gravy was super delicious and tasty!  Heard that Classical Meatloaf is one of their specialities. No wonder

Now for some interior pictures. Not much taken because camera battery went dead quite soon.

 

 

 

 

And lastly, a group picture with my besties!

 

Well, actually that pic wasn’t taken inside the restaurant. We could not hang around too long in it because there were still many people outside waiting to be seated. So to be considerate, we left after finishing our dinner and went to a nearby mamak to continue chatting. This pic was taken at the mamak named “Original KAYU”. How original I wonder?

Anyway, that’s all. Maybe one day you guys can try out this place. Really a nice place with nice food and good service. But please, make a reservation (can be done online) first before going to ensure that you have a place when you reach!

羅志祥“舞法舞天”之ENCORE場 ::《1萬零1夜》

 

 

羅志祥第一次的大馬演唱會辦得很成功！我很開心，我有機會看到他站在大馬的舞臺上演唱

15號交了論文后，4月16號就是他的演唱會了。算是獎勵自己辛苦了那麼多天吧！

實話實說，羅志祥真的是一個很努力，很拼的一個藝人。總是要把最好的呈現給大家。當晚在他的演唱會看了一些錄影片段后，感覺到他的辛酸，也感受到他的堅強與奮鬥。羅志祥，我欣賞你也會繼續支持你！

好啦，不多說。以下是些讓我回憶的照片。

 

SFC Club所提供的

 

人山人海，體育館都爆滿了

經典的“林達浪”

 

兩個小時的演唱會在10.30pm圓滿結束。

有人問我，值得那個價錢嗎？

廢話，不值得我就不會買票去看啦。是不是？

總而言之，比起以前小豬真的進步了很多。喜歡他的朋友應該多多支持。有個那麼努力的藝人真的很難得。希望小豬可以繼續加油！

還有最後一句，那就是:

“羅志祥《1萬零1夜》演唱會好看慘了！”
