Papers.

Two papers down, three to go. Felt like I'm always in catastrophic mode, everything seems to be going the wrong way. Maybe 2012 isn't really a good  year for me, though it's still a little early to tell. I realized I get irritated easily, emotional at times and take the lightest things seriously (in a bad way). I don't know if it's the stress of finals getting into me or that I've higher up my expectations in life. Either way, I hope it'll get better.

Sometimes good things happened when you least expect them to be. But it's funny how we often forget that not all good things or happiness last. Some may be short lived and temporary. To be honest, I don't know when was the last time i actually felt happy, as in really happy. Maybe getting good grades will make me happy (if I will ever be determined enough to study hard, sigh). Or maybe all i need is just to trust myself and be contended with my life. Life is just like a piece of empty paper, it's up to us on how we choose to fill it up. After all, there is no purpose in life if you aren't living it, right?

Will be spending my Valentine this year with one of the toughest paper. 
Well at least i'll have Domo to accompany me wtf #foreveralone
Won this two-foot Domo Kun at a fun fair :)

Road Trip

Yong Peng > Batu Pahat > Muar. 

It was an impromptu one, planned just a day before since we didn't have any classes on Wednesday. 9 of us altogether went on a food hunt road trip which left me going home with an over-bloated stomach :/  We were first treated at Hawe's uncle restaurant at Yong Peng. We further continued our journey to Batu Pahat to have fish head curry, chicken soup (my favourite) and pork soup. Didn't take any pictures of the dishes at the two places (regretful) but it was all damn good. One word- scrumptious.

We visited Tokong Cina at Batu Pahat which is situated beside the sea.

And they have this huge fishes in the pond (I forgot what are they called). They are much bigger in real life, definitely more than 100cm in length. Apparently if you touch the fish with your hands, you will be blessed with good luck.

KM, Stanley, Guo Zhen and Danny,

Hawe.

It rained in the evening. Thank god it was only drizzling when we reached there.

After visiting the temple, we had steamboat for our dinner. The steamboat is fairly good but it was the side dishes which is the highlight of that place. Unfortunately we were too busy eating that I didn't get to take any pictures of the side dishes :/

 Our total bill cost to RM 138 which is quite reasonable for 9 people.

Just as we thought this will be our last meal for the day, Hawe's dad called to meet him up at his friend's restaurant in Muar. And this will just mean one thing; more food! We were pretty much bloated by our heavy dinner but since the purpose of this trip is to well, eat, we went ahead anyway. We were treated generously with many dishes and it was all really good, I just wished I had taken pictures of 'em food! Sigh.

It was a good trip, not just because of the good food but the good company :) I've always love spontaneous plan and the fact that this is the final year makes it more memorable. 

Sunshine and Cloud.

Sixth week into the second semester of my studies and one and a half month to a new year. I think my life has it's way of balancing itself with the good and the bad. Just when I thought my world comes crashing down when something unfortunate happened, I was blessed with something good in return. Perhaps as the figures to my age increased, I start to look at things differently. 

Went to Penang last 3 weeks and I had an awesome 3 days there. It was my second time and despite the terrible weather (super hot in the afternoon and rain in the evening for 3 days straight), I love Penang. The food, the place...really makes me feel like if I were to ever move out from my hometown some day, Penang is where I want to be (just for that 3 days at least). When I think of the scorching hot weather, I changed my mind =.=

Good hair day :D

:)

I braced myself to try para sailing when we went to Batu Ferringhi on the second day. Being a scary cat as I am, I was shouting half of the time but I can't help it! It's the only way to ease my fright of being lifted so high up in the air and the fact that I can't swim wtf. But I'm glad I did it because it was awesome fun. I'll definitely do it again one day :)

King Miing was telling me how my hair blocked his way almost the entire time when we were on the air. LOL.

Looking back, I had a good year in 2011. There were many ups and downs but I survived through the downs and became a stronger person. I love to think that I've matured in many ways but there's always room for improvement. I try not to take things for granted. And I tell myself to be thankful for the bad things that happened in life as it helps to open our eyes to the good things we weren't paying attention to before.

There's also a new chapter in my life, something I didn't expect, something I didn't plan and something I didn't see it coming. Life has it's funny way of making plans for me. It put me through a catastrophe before showing me the sun. It put me through thunderstorm before showing me the rainbow. But I guess it doesn't matter because now, it has put a smile on my face :)

It's a new beginning ♥

Make A Wish Upon A Star

It's almost the end of my first semester. The thought of us all leaving in another two semesters to pursue our separates lives put a frown to my face. You know how people say the best time of your life is your uni life- its true. You don't have to wake up early every morning and stays in the office till late evenings, you can hangout every other night even if you have 8am class the next morning and you can always have impromptu road trips whenever you feel like it. I think in life you will come to a point where you realize that nothing is permanent. Sometimes there are things which you wish for it to last forever-it never did. And sometimes things happens when you least expect it to be-happy things.

For the past weeks, I've been frequenting The Friend's Cafe, Melaka so often that I now have a beer belly wtf.  So I made a promise to myself that I will not touch beer anymore unless if there's an occasion which I can't say no to drinking ._.

I've also just turned 23 on the 17th. It's amazing how life has got me this far and I'm truly grateful to all who have make a mark in my life. I still fairly remember my 21st birthday and in a blink of an eye, I'm already 23. Like freaking 23. Shudders me a little thinking how time flies and the next thing I know, I might be turning 30 wtf.

They surprised me with this.

Mango Cheese Cake. Delicious :)
As in why there are only 4 candles which suppose to signify 22 years old, let's just say I may be 23 but I still don't look a year older :D

I had my birthday celebration the night before the clock strikes twelve with my lovely friends and I could never been happier. It's always nice to know that there are those who cares and remembers the important date in your life. I'm touched by all the wishes, the presents, those who made the effort to celebrate with me, to call me, text me or just leave a simple message on my facebook wall. Thank you loves <3

Jia Rou

Chong Pei. Hawe

Kin Ming. Guo Zhen

Stanley.

So I made a wish upon a star, that one day my wish will come true.

On the night of my birthday as well, I had karaoke session with my coursemates. I finally get to see those who loathe karaoke but actually gave in just for the sake of my birthday awww <3

The notorious couple =P

The sweet couple.

I can't stop laughing at this picture because of Hawe. That fella took my jacket and wore it because he was cold. And to think, he has skinnier arms than me. Shucks.

 Singing their hearts out.

 The guys.

 Me and Ruby.
The one girl who hates karaoke so much but truth is that she isn't tone deaf! She shall be my next karaoke buddy and she doesn't have any more reason to reject me the next time :D

I used to can't wait to grow up, simply because I yearn for the freedom and I was excited to unfold what the future holds for me. Now that I'm all grown up, I realize things aren't exactly picture perfect and sometimes, things get tough and it breaks me.There are also times when you wish there will be someone there to catch you when you fall, to tell you that everything will be okay. And sometimes, I confuse myself. There are things I did which I am not proud of and there are things which I don't know why I did it. I still don't have the answers but I don't intend to find them. Sometimes things just happens and there is no reason for it. Life's an adventure after all, isn't it? :)

Week 3.

Boastful. There is nothing more I dislike than people who speaks as if they have an encyclopedia embedded in their head. If you're really that smart, you should be studying some where off better, not stuck at where you are right now. It's funny how you can act as if you were the one who has done everything when in fact there was not even a single work done by you. You may point your fingers at others and play the blame game but really, ask yourself this. If you have done what you're suppose to do, is there a need of pointing the index finger and shouldn't the result speaks for itself? Because you and I both know, at the end of the day, you did nothing.

Last week, I finally went to have a look at Mirul's house which was surprisingly really nice. It's probably the outlook and the surrounding of the flats area which always makes me think that the units inside are small, if not dodgy. I was wrong indeed.

 Miss Ruby.

We took so many shots that day but it was all taken with another camera so I'm waiting for the pictures =D I hardly use my digital camera anymore because my camera is at it's midlife right now. It on and off so frequently that it's almost impossible to take any pictures. I don't know what went wrong but it's probably because I've dropped it a time too many. Sigh.

 Seoul Garden! 

Finally went there after 2 years. Still serves the same food, except there's a hike in price. 

 Bottom right, the food which I ate. I don't think I should ever eat buffet. I'm just throwing my money away because I never eat the amount worth the price I pay.

 Mirul, always ever ready to eat as much as he could (:

End with dessert. Ice cream!

So I met a friend today and he showed me with his hand gestures that I've grown sideways T.T I shall take that as his way of saying hi to me (note to self: cut out on desserts!)

I've not been feeling well these couple of days and I'm afraid my health is deteriorating again. You know how I always fall sick when I'm in Melaka, so often that my medication always runs out. It's bad because I know it's not healthy. My busy schedule has caught me tied up that I often skip meals and I eat out almost everyday. I never skip breakfast though, I always remind myself that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And now it's already 1am, I shall be heading to bed soon. 8am class, shucks.
