So, what have I been up to lately?

Like some people say I am currently in shakelegs.com

Well, actually that is not entirely true. I was previously at home clearing off rubbish, an amount of rubbish that noone can imagine. Things that have been kept for N years yet useless in the future should all go into the rubbish bin. Noone will spend time clearing except me, before I found a job.

After that, I followed Kuak back to Alor Setar for a few days.

Yeah, you heard me right, Alor Setar, a place that is not fun at all. But, with him around everything seems fun

So cut the crap and I will just briefly update what I have done.

#1 Savoured food of Alor Setar. Still ok la.

Laksa | Chendol | Popiah | Rojak

#2 Celebrated Kuak’s friend’s birthday @ Rock Cafe.

Choc ice-cream cake

#3 Watched Transformers @ Big Cinema.

Damn those parents who ignored their kids making noises in the cinema, disturbing the audience. Such inconsiderate people!

#4 Celebrated Ah Yee’s birthday right after I came back. First stop was to have lunch at Rainbow Modern Cuisine Restaurant @ Tanjung Bungah. It is just apposite Ah Yee’s house actually haha.

Reasonable priced food yet delicious!

Played UNO cards =_=

#5 Had tea with the girls @ Winter Warmers. Usually we went there when having tea with Yee because she has a member card lol.

Charcoal cake

Ah Yee, the birthday girl

Ah Yee | Me | Vivian

Kinda miss Fernie because there was only 3 of us. Fernie, if you read this post then be sure to know that I MISS YOU!!!!!!! I miss our gatherings when I was still in KL

After that had dinner with Kuak before meeting Chian and JQ in Straits Quay. Our topic nowadays were about jobs, plans etc. Topics that are more serious than what we talked 5 years ago. I wonder 7 years later will our topics be about kids, families etc?

Anyway, I have started to apply jobs. Hopefully I can get one that I like!

My real life is going to start soon! A bit nervous, but looking forward to it as well XD

♥ Kids ♥

Do you love kids?

I do! And I especially my little nieces and nephews. They are so damn cute!

Yesterday my cousin wanted to treat her family a belated Father’s Day celebration. Hence my ah ma, aunty, uncle, their kids (my cousins) and their grandchildren (my nieces and nephews) went for the dinner.

Was an ordinary dinner but it was great to have the kids around. My aunty and uncle are very fortunate as they already have 4 grandchildren at a still not-young-not-old age. But my ah ma must be the happiest person because she has so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren around her

 

3 yo niece || 2 yo nephew

 

My cousin, WC is the youngest child in my aunty’s family. She is also younger than me so of course, she is still unmarried. So do not misunderstand, the two kids are her niece and nephew as well Her brother’s son and sister’s daughter.

The kids with their ‘aunty’.

 

My cousin smiling sweetly with her bf

 

 

This fatty guy below is my eldest nephew. Fat right? Haha I think he can carry me, but I do not think I am able to carry him. He loves to eat, but to loves to share with people as well. Just a word to describe him in Hokkien, “giet” >.<

 

Si

My youngest niece!  Not yet 1 yo

 

Fatty’s younger sister, a super shy girl.

 

Unlike my the other nephew, this 2 yo nephew is very small sized. BUT, very naughty! Yet, he is so damn cute, tak boleh tahan wanna sayang him

 

Having kids are tiring sometimes. But they bring so much warmth and joy to the family. I hope that next time when I am old, I can be as fortunate as my aunty and uncle. Having little kids around you makes you feel happier and younger,

Kids, they are sooooooooooo chubi!

Unhappy

I am not lazy!

I am not lazy!

I am not lazy!

Please understand that if I do not spend these 2 weeks clearing off the rubbish, noone will be good enough to spend time and effort do to this job!

I just wish you guys will understand and give me some time.

These days especially tonight I am indeed a bit offended and hurt.

我說過我自己會有分寸，但是為什麼好像沒有人了解我的想法和處境？

<3 Taiwan <3

Hello people, greetings from Taipei!

My backpacking journey to Taiwan with friends will end soon. Have already spent 8 days here and the weather here is extremely hot!

Within these days we have travelled from north (Taoyuan桃園) -> Tainan 台南-> Kaohsiung 高雄-> Kending 墾丁and now settled down in Taipei台北.

And you know what? We actually met another 2 groups of UTAR-ians here in the hostel that we are staying in right now! 1 group from Electrical and Electronics, one group from Civil and we are from Mechatronics. What a coincidence! Haha

Anyway, gonna make sure my remaining days in Taiwan can be memorable and meaningful. Gonna miss here so much. I can officially say that......

I have indeed fallen in love with this beautiful country :)

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

 

Cousin and brother

 

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

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!
