Merry Christmas + Happy New Year + Happy Holidays :)

It's Christmas today, Merry Christmas to all :)

Despite being busy or stress with all the things in our daily life, everyone seems to be in holiday mood during this year end round.

It's time to reflect and flash back what we have been through, what we have learnt, what we have been giving and receiving, what we have achived, what we have done through out the year.

At the same time, let's look forward for a greater year ahead!!!
More wisdom, more health, more happiness and more wealth :p

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year :)

I will end this entry with one of my favorite picture.
Just took it last week @ Cameron Highlands.

Eat Eat Madness

3 weeks in a row, every Saturday, I was at Sushi Zanmai!!!

AND

2 weeks in a row, every Sunday, I was at Izzi Restaurant!!

The most wonderful thing in this world is to be able to savour food, especially yummy food!!!
But is this too much? :p

Sushi Zanmai outlets : The Gardens, One Utama and Sunway Pyramid.
I went to each outlet every week.
Personally, the experience and the food at One Utama and Sunway Pyramid are better!

The Izzi Restaurant outlets : Bukit Bintang (near to Lot 10) and Damansara Uptown.
They are now having 75% OFF crazy credit crunch menu promotion.
This is also the reason why we went for it 2 Sundays in a row!!

Always On My Mind

另一首触动我心弦的歌。
其实很久以前就知道这首歌了。
昨晚仔细的听，留意着歌词，眼泪就涌出来了。



Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you are mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I am sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't die
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

出游记 A Road Trip

明天将会驱车到关丹去。
我驾车哦！
驾我的Kenari哦！
我长得这么‘大个女’都还没有真正试过驾长途车outstation.
明天就是我的第一次了 :)

这趟到关丹去是替YS做姐妹。
嘻嘻是的，我和PG又会再和新郎+他的兄弟们交手了。
其实我们是可以和新娘一起去的。

不过，我最后还是决定要自己驾车去。
原因：
1.我想要试下自己驾长途车的滋味。
2.这会是一个新的体验。
3.尝试做一些从来没有做过的事，挑战一下自己，生活就会更有乐趣 :)

（当我决定要自己驾车的时候，妈妈说：“那就慢慢驾咯！” 我知道的，她对我的驾驶技术很有信心，所以她也不会太担心，而是支持我的决定。我爱你，妈妈。）

我期待明天的旅程，我一定会尽情享受的 ;)
东海岸，我来了！
Kuantan, I am coming :)

Congratulations to Jacq :)

Tada, as promised...

All the 美女 leng luis in WHITE :)

Me In White?

Actually to tell you the truth, I am pretty excited for the coming Saturday :)
I am going to become a 'ji mui' (accompanying sister for the bride) for the first time!!!

Saturday is J's wedding.
She is going to have a garden wedding ceremony at Carcosa Seri Negara.
Garden wedding!!! So nice, I havn't attend any before.
Must be very grand yet warmth.

But of course for me, a beach wedding still remain at the top of the list :)

She has got a theme and everyone of us are going to wear in WHITE.
Oh white, white dress is going to make me look fat!
And my arms sure look awful, I have dark arms you see.
However, what to do, have to lor :p

I have got myself a white dress, a pair of white heels and I am going to carry a white bag.
Ooo imagining me in all white, like a fairy perhaps *cough cough* haha

Stay tune, I am going to post some photos after the ceremony ;)

It's A Beautiful Day

Today is the 7th day of my regaining-a-healthy-body program.
I woke up around 8.15am this morning and I went to Taman Jaya for my routine 30 minutes-walk-exercise.

While I was walking, I was listening to the radio with my handphone, enjoying the morning sunshine, looking at the people around and admiring the greeneries.
I found that I am in happy mood and I really enjoy doing this by myself!

I saw a mother jogging in front of me and eventually she stopped at her husband and baby.
They were waiting for her to finish.
Before that, I saw her husband running around the park.
The mother must be taking care of the baby that time while the father was running.
What a healthy family!
I am going to do this as well if I have my own family in the future :)

Terry Fox Run Kuala Lumpur 2008

Last Sunday morning, I went for Terry Fox Run Kuala Lumpur with my mum and a friend of mine, PG.

This was the first time I join this event.

I got to know about it when I saw the news feed of my cousin, TP in Facebook.

I was curious, so I checked out the event. And tada, It was a good-for-health-exercise event, so I decided to join :p

Many people took part in the run and I have some photos to show you :)

We bought the t-shirt on the spot, so we have to find a spot to change.

Public toilet is no where to be seen.

Many people opted for this nearby little hut, including us Muahaha

(Btw, this little hut and some other facilities are the remainings of the The Malaysia International Landscape & Garden Festival 2008)

Waiting for the run to start.

By the way, we didn't run, we walked :)

PG and me, with the official t-shirt.

Donate RM25 and you can have this t-shirt :)

1,2,3!!!

Let's run!!!

Ops, not running huh, let's walk :p

When we finished the walk, we met TP again.

We met her once before the run was flag off.

真有缘分 :)

TP brought us for hot chilli mee 辣椒板面.

It was so so so yummy!!!

Thanks TP for the breakfast :)

To know more about Terry Fox, continue reading ya :)

The information below is taken from http://www.terryfoxrun.org/

Who is Terry Fox?

Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, a community near Vancouver on Canada's west coast. An active teenager involved in many sports, Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres (six inches) above the knee in 1977.
While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
He would call his journey the Marathon of Hope.
After 18 months and running over 5,000 kilometres (3,107 miles) to prepare, Terry started his run in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980 with little fanfare. Although it was difficult to garner attention in the beginning, enthusiasm soon grew, and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran 42 kilometres (26 miles) a day through Canada's Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario.
It was a journey that Canadians never forgot.
However, on September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles), Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. An entire nation was stunned and saddened. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981 at age 22.
The heroic Canadian was gone, but his legacy was just beginning.
To date, more than $400 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name through the annual Terry Fox Run, held across Canada and around the world.

What is Terry Fox Foundation and Terry Fox Run?

The first annual Terry Fox Run in 1981 was organized in conjunction with the Canadian Cancer Society. In 1988, The Terry Fox Foundation became a Trust, independent of the Canadian Cancer Society, and received tax-exempt charitable status under the Income Tax Act. All money raised by the Foundation is distributed through the National Cancer Institute of Canada.

There is one national, nine provincial offices and one international Foundation office.
Currently, 87 cents of every dollar raised goes to fund cancer research.

I Can Do It :)

I am starting my detoxification and weight-reducing program today!!!

It's 8.15pm now, I have just taken today's last sachet of nutritional meal.
I am drinking the last 800ml of water for today.
Just now I walked for 35 minutes at the park.
I am doing good!!!

46kg + a healthier body, I am coming!!!

A Wild Dream

I just had the most unbelievable dream while I was taking a nap about an hour ago.

He proposed to me and it was a surprise one!!!

He planned this event with all his family members waiting at my 2nd aunt's house.
Then, I was brought to the place by my family members.

When I was dreaming, I couldn't believe that this is happening to me (of course it was so real that you won't be able to differentiate it was actually a dream).

We are (yes still) currently in the cold war period.
We are having some serious thoughts to determine whether we should continue to be together.
It's impossible that he is proposing to me at this moment!

In my dream, I remembered he told me "You said I don't have much time for you, so now this is it!"

The conclusion is 日有所思，夜有所梦.
When your mind is occupied with some thoughts, you are going to have it in your dream when you sleep.

Anyway, this was just a dream.
It's not going to happen in real.
I knew it.
I am just way too far from this.

说好的幸福呢

好久都没有留意周杰伦的歌了。
以前还蛮喜欢他最初的作品，但过后就没那么fancy了。
这一次他的这首新歌，我听起来特别有感觉，所以就post在这里和大家分享。

说好的幸福呢



作词：方文山　作曲：周杰伦

你的绘画凌乱著　在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽　甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯　我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱著歌　假装没事了

时间过了 走了 爱情面临选择
你冷了　倦了　我哭了
离开时的不快乐 你用卡片手写著
有些爱只给到这　真的痛了

怎麼了　你累了　说好的　幸福呢
我懂了　不说了　爱淡了　梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数著　你再不捨
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻　我都还记得

你不等了　说好的　幸福呢
我错了　泪乾了　放手了　后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转著　要怎麼停呢

我的学生们

今天是我教补习的最后一天。
刚才晚上十点多上完最后一堂课后，我整个人感觉轻松了许多。
当然，现在我唯一的收入也没了。

自从五月开始教第三位学生后，很多时间都被补习占用了。
尤其是在学生们的考试季节，会花更多的时间加课。

感觉轻松之余，心里也有点不舍。

今晚的Justin好可爱（相比之下，很多时候他都固执得让我咬紧牙根），蹦蹦跳跳的，演这演那，我还取笑他以后可以去当谐星。
最让我动容的是当他问我：“那你明年还会教我补习吗？”

小孩子‘有时候’还真的蛮可爱的！

我想要继续和这三位学生联络，毕竟我们也相处了一段时间。
John，是最久的了，不知不觉我已经教了他两年。
从他那儿，我学习培养耐心。
Jamie，教她的时间最短了，花最多时间的也是她。
只可惜，我觉得我没有帮到她什么。
Justin，遗憾的是，没能跟他从头到尾都讲华语。
他还是不肯多讲华语，真是一个很有自己想法的小男孩。

在不久的将来，他们还会记得我吗？
说到底，我也只是他们生命中来去匆匆的一位过客。
无论如何，我很谢谢我的学生们，还有他们的妈妈。
我想要和他们三位保持联络，空闲的时候就去家访一下 :)

Me and Myself

I am going to spend time with myself tomorrow, yes only me and myself :)
Everyone should learn to feel comfortable even when they are alone.
We need to have time for ourselves.
I believe it's one way to know ourself better, right?

Quote from my friend KY, "Peace of mind derives from within, your inner self!"

I am going to have peace of my mind tomorrow :)

Random

I am so down to say this, but I feel like letting go.
I don't know how to solve it and I don't know how to get myself out from this miserable stage!!!
What should I do?

European Jewels - Day 3 - Part 2

Continue from previous entry, this is Part 2 of Day 3 in our European Jewels trip.

P/S: Have been keeping this draft for over a month. Now only I finished it :p

So now, we are in Rothenburg, a picturesque town before we head to Munich.
Nice huh the building. So cheerful looking, I like it :)


A cafe.
Like those plants outside the windows.
So lively!


A very nice shop.
Straight away attracted our attention.


See see see, so nice!!!
All these are made of food, I supposed hand-made too.
Small but very detailed.


So cute!!!
I couldn't buy them, not even one, it's very expensive :(
One cost 10-20 euro if I didn't remember wrongly.


So pretty!!!
How could you not like them?


I like their building.
So nice and the 'thing' (what is it called?) attached on the wall is so unique.


The local delicacy - Snowballs.


The snow ball. We 'tapao' and curi makan in the bus.
The tour leader actually don't allow us to eat and drink in the bus.
Ridiculous right?
We spent most of the time travelling in the bus and she said we can't eat in the bus according to company's policy?
What are we suppose to do in the bus when we are hungry and bored?
By the way, we are not small kids, we are not going to mess up and dirty your bus ok!!!


This is cute.
They set up this to welcome people along the way?


Scenery along the way to Munich.


The train system in Munich.


Oh piggy!!
After dinner, my mum and I actually climbed up to its back and take photo Muahaha


Our yummy pork chop.
The black black dish beside is actually some kind of marinated purple cabbage.


The front view of the reataurant.
Not sure whether it's consider nice but at least we did savor the famour German pork dish :p


My image for Munich.
Dark dark and dark.
We don't have the chance for a second look.
We headed to Innsbruck early morning the next day.


A very nice WC, pay 1.10 euro and you can use it lor!


The main train station.
Hauptbahnhof or Marienplatz??
Forgot liao :p


Our hotel for the night.
Tryp Munich.
The room might not consider as nice but the breakfast that we had in the hotel the next morning was the best throughout this trip.
Yummy ;)
Show you the photo in the next entry.



To be continued...
Day 4 Part 1...

现在的心情故事

明天就是星期天了（严格来说，应该是还有几分钟），也就是开斋节假期的最后一天。
这个星期有了‘开斋节假期’这个借口，什么也没做，有点逃避现实的感觉。

而现在矛盾的心情又来了。
一方面期待着忙碌的日子，勤劳的进行要完成的试验，努力写我的论文，那么就可以照原定的计划达成目标。
一方面也觉得有点害怕去面对。但是我知道我必须要去面对，我需要勇气。

好吧，就开开心心的享受明天最后一天的假期。
星期一起就是新的开始，我要努力，我要be positive，我要坚持。
我可以的！！！

Kota Kinabalu Day 1

很自然的，我又选择了来写我的部落格，而不是写我的论文！

选了几张照片，让我来告诉你一些故事吧。

在飞往亚庇的途中，窗外的‘雪花’吸引了我的目光。


晚餐的时候去了海港城。

又大又肥美的龙虾，看得我直流口水。
可是没我的份 :(


超级大的‘siham’，不知道一口咬下去的滋味是如何的呢？
会不会很‘geli’？ ‘siham’内的血浆会从口里面喷出来吗？


这一团东西是石头鱼。
口感若是硬如石头的话，应该没有人会要吃吧？
那我就当它是‘我很丑，可是我很美味’咯！


我们的奶油虾。好好吃。


上汤啦啦。好味道。


沙巴的薯仔菜。没有菜叶的喔。


瓦煲豆腐。豆腐竟然酸酸的。


姜葱螃蟹。超咸。
你要相信我。我是个口味重的人，如果我说咸的话，那一定是很咸的了。
但我也吃得津津有味的。都说了，我喜欢吃咸咸的东西嘛。

吃饱了后，我们在市中心走走。

这个火炬让我想起了‘Survivor生存者’里面的火炬。
那个如果你被淘汰了，就会被主持人熄灭的火炬咯！
我已经好久没有看这个节目了。




待续。。。
