Anyone wants to buy??

I was clearing up my cupboard the other day. And I thought I would get rid of some of my pants since I have two piles of it. But in the end I only manage to get rid of a few. Some are still in good condition and I could still wear them. So I didn't get rid of it although I seldom wear it. And I have a few pairs of pants that are nearly the same colour. Haha. My cousin was telling me that there's a website that sells secondhand clothing. Maybe I could sell mine there :) Below are a few pictures I took. Tell me which of the pants I should get rid of.

These are only some of it. There's a few more in Penang. Haha. Maybe I should donate or sell some of it.

Past Life..

My exam's over and I'm so so happy. But I'm quited scared because I don't think I did very well. If i get a good result then it's because I was lucky. Haha.

So, I was watching Oprah today. It was something about past life. I don't really believe in it. But after hearing and watching it, I'm not very certain now. There was one lady who said that she had lived 86 times. And she can remember all of her past life if she wanted to. But that's of course if she was hypnotize. They even hypnotized the whole audience. Some could remember something about their current life but some could remember about their past life. Some even remembered being killed.

There was a guy that said his relationship with his sister was not very good and he can't stand feeling any physical pressure on his chest. He was also always dreaming about flying. So when they hypnotized him, he said he was floating, in a plane, an old plane. He was with another guy and their plane was attacked because he didn't know who to shoot. It was his fault that their plane crashed and he was killed. Then when they brought him to another life, he said he felt his body swelling and he was crushed by a car crusher. When he was asked to describe more about it, he said he was standing in an alley and he saw someone being raped. He wasn't brave enough to do anything. He was hit in the head while watching helplessly. Then when he was asked if he knew the woman, then he said that it was his sister.

So, is there really something about our current life that's related to our past life? Well, I wonder what happen in my past life. Haha.

Break...

Can't think of anything to blog these days.. Busy studying for my exam.. So I guess I'll be back blogging after my exam...

Few pictures that I took

A picture means a thousand words.... Can someone tell me what this few pictures mean? Haha..

Anyone wants some nice biscuits?

Buffalo mixer? I wonder how it work?

I don't know what it mean

That few pictures really caught my attention. So I'll be looking out to find more funny pictures.

Puppy's back...

Finally, my puppy's here. It has grown so much since I last saw it. Here's some pictures of him.

Chiko and Poppy

I forgot that I haven't posted any pictures of my puppies. Below are some pictures of Chiko(brown puppy) and Poppy(black puppy).

I'm not sure which puppy I'll be bringing home yet. Cos my grandma wants to keep the black puppy but my aunty wants to keep the brown puppy. But my Dad wants the brown puppy. So let them decide first. Both puppies are cute too. But Chiko is more active compared to Poppy. That's why it's so hard to take any pictures of him. Haha. Waiting to bring the puppy home........

Malaysian studies? Moral?

I haven't blogged for ages. Couldn't think of anything to write ( actually was too lazy to think of things to write :P ) But since I'm having break for a week so will be free to think. There's one issue that I can't tahan. I have to study Malaysian Studies and Moral. There's actually three subjects that we have to take but I don't have to take Bahasa Malaysia since I pass my BM for SPM. But I don't want to take Malaysian Studies too. I think it's going to be something like General Paper which I've studied in Form 6. Why is it compulsory to take this subjects? I don't like it and I've struggled to pass it. And now I'll have to take it AGAIN. But that's not the only thing that I'm upset about. When we registered, we knew we had to take the subjects but we were told that the lectures will begin only when the degree students came in. We asked which day is it going to be but they said that they'll let us know later. So we gave them our timetable so they could arrange it. Finally the degree students came in. We weren't told anything about the lectures. Then one of my friend said that lectures for Malaysian Studies has started for two weeks. When we went to ask the lecturer in charge of it she said she didn't know anything cos she's not teaching. She didn't even know we exist. How could she not know? We've seen her and talked to her before the lectures begin. And she was the one in charge of arranging everything. We were so angry that we told them we'll not be taking the subjects until the final semester. Don't know if we're allowed to do so but we don't care. Haha.
But is it really compulsory to take the subjects? Is it just in private collages or in local university as well?

Naughty hamster...

My hamsters are very very naughty nowadays. Actually one of it is quite OK but the other hamster is very cheeky. It has learnt how to open it's cage's door. And it'll only open the door at night when all of us are asleep. Then both of the hamsters will have their own 'games' to play. They'll hunt for 'treasure' and play 'hide and seek'. After finding their 'treasure', they'll go back to their cage to keep it. The next morning, there will be rambutan seeds or vegetables in their cage. My fat hamster, Ah Pui is very good. It'll go back into the cage in the morning. So we don't have to find it. But the other one likes to play 'hide and seek'. It won't go back into the cage so we'll have to find all over the house. Nowadays it's getting smarter cos it'll hide in the cupboard. So sometimes we lock it's cage if we don't plan on searching for it the next morning. I didn't lock it today. So now it's already out again for another adventure.

Puppy...

I'll be getting a puppy soon. I still need to wait for around one month plus before I get to bring it home :( It's eyes are still closed. And it's still so small. Shall leave it with it's mummy first. There was five puppies but two died and another puppy went missing. So now there's just the brown and another black puppy. I think I'll be getting the brown puppy. Cos my grandma wants the black puppy. I wish I can have both. Haha. Puppies are so cute but not when they start to bite your things. I'll need to train the puppy. Teach it to bite other people's things but not my things. Haha. I'll post the pictures soon.....

TV or study???

My blog has been dead for quite sometime. Well, I was kind of busy. But not busy studying. I was busy watching TV. Haha. Well that's because I don't have any books yet. So, of course relax and watch TV since I have nothing to do. I've been watching Desperate Housewife and The OC. Now I'm addicted to it. But once I get my books then no more TV. ( or maybe I'll watch less ) There's a test this Friday. But I haven't studied. No books to study. Just need to study some of the lecturer's notes. Guess I should be studying now. Don't want to fail my first test. Haha......

New Life

My new life has begun. Now I've to do everything on my own. Went to collage today. It's not fun to be in a new place and have to start life again. Some people might like it but not me. I don't feel comfortable in a new place. But once I'm used to it then I'm quite OK. I had orientation this morning. So boring. But luckily it was just for awhile. Around 3 hours. After orientation then everyone was allowed to go back. I've 3 days of break a week. So I'll just study for 4 days. Haha. I'll be having my break on 13-21 September. And my exams on 1-12 December.

My timetable...

I hope to pass everything and finish fast. Now going to 'snooze' for awhile. Haha...

Study study study

Time to start studying again. So lazy la. Haha. But need to study hard so I'll finish faster. Then can start earning money already. Can shop shop shop, shop till I drop. But.... I've just learn to save. So can't shop so much. Must only buy the things that I really need. :) Can all the things I want be considered as the things I need? Haha. Must really study hard already this time. Did quite OK in STPM only. And that's because I was lucky. A few people told me that. Cos I seldom study and was very lazy. I don't think I'll always be that lucky. So need to study hard already. Or not will panic during exam. Haha. So I might not be free to blog. But I'll try to blog when I'm free. Gambateh.....

Sad sad sad....

This week, most of my friends will be leaving for university. I'm going to miss them very very very much. There's a few friends that I'll miss more since I've known them from primary and secondary school. I wish I could turn back the time and spend more time with them again. Don't know when I'll meet my friends again. Maybe in a few month's time or maybe a few years??? I hope we'll still be able to keep in touch no matter how far we are. Friends forever.

Vitamin C
Graduation (Friends Forever)

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And when we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1]
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

Nursery..nursery

Holiday is over for me. Had to start work again. So...After two weeks of holiday I just couldn't wake up early. Felt so lazy and dizzy and tired and......... But in the end I manage to drag myself out off the bed. First day after the holiday is TERRIBLE. Children were crying. Very loud. Had headache listening to their 'nice music'. After all the children had settle down, I thought it would be OK after that. I was definitely wrong. Guess what happen when I did reading with them? They lost their memory. TOTALLY lost their memory. Some of the younger kids could read ABC very well before the holidays began. But after the holidays, they can't remember anything. Haih. Even the older ones can't remember what they had learn. If you have high blood pressure please make sure you take your medication before teaching them. Or not you'll 'pengsan'. Haha. Hope tomorrow will be much better. But I just have a feeling that things will be the same. Well, there's nothing much that I can do.........

Chang..

My two weeks of holiday is ending already. Sad, sad la..Must go back and face the kids. Hopefully they don't come and start crying. The small ones always cry after coming back from long holidays. Can't blame them for crying cos holiday is so fun. I've learnt how to make 'bak chang' during my last two days of holiday. My family and I went back went back early Friday to help my grandma make the 'bak chang'. My aunt and my mum were busy making it while my sister, my brother and I went for a nap. Haha. We were tired since we had to wake up early to go back to my grandma's house. But my sister and I did help to make a few after we woke up la. It is very hard to make. Need to have certain technique of folding, holding, squishing and tying. My grandma likes all her things to look 'pretty'. So it's even harder. But at last I pass also. Haha. My aunt told us that they used to practice making 'bak chang' with sand first before they were allowed to use the real ingredients. Making everything is hard. But there's one thing that is easy. Eating the 'bak chang'. Haha. It's very easy and fast.

The ingredients

My 'bak chang'

Time to eat....

There's another 'chang' that my grandma made. It's called 'ki chang'. This is even harder to make compared to the 'bak chang' cos it's smaller and you can't put too much of glutinous rice inside. It needs to have space for it to 'expand'. So that makes it even harder to get the shape right. That's why I didn't make that. Too hard. Haha.

'Ki chang'

Well it's nice to learn how to make 'chang'. Quite fun actually. But of course the first time is hard. But everyone needs to learn and practice making it before they can actually make a 'perfect chang'. I'll have to wait until the next year before I get to try once more. Haha.

Madness....

Petrol price is going up starting tomorrow. So, today everyone is going to fill their petrol. I was out just now and every petrol station that I pass has a long queue, at least 30 cars waiting for their turn to fill up their petrol. Totally insane. Well, can't blame them for being so insane. 78 cents is a LOT. Maybe it's time to start car pooling again. But with the coming system (safety belt for passenger) how can people car pool? Just 5 people in a car. Cannot car pool if they have large family. Every family will be driving van or bus soon. Haha. Don't think the goverment should enforce this system at this time. They should handle one thing at a time. Anyway, even some drivers and co-drivers aren't wearing safety belts. Shouldn't they solve that prolem first? Well, everything's up to the goverment. We, the citizen, just follow what the goverment wants us to do.

Shrinking paper

I know my blog has been 'dead' for nearly two weeks. Well was feeling lazy since I'm having my holidays. Now that my holidays are nearly over, I shall start blogging again. Haha. I've been busy going everywhere (around Alor Star only) this holiday but now I just can't think of anything that's really interesting to blog about. Oh....Remembered something. Few days ago, we went to Aunty Amelia's house to 'bake'. But we didn't bake cake or pizza...we baked PAPERS. Not normal papers of course. Special type of paper that would shrink once you bake it. So we all printed things on the papers and put it in the oven. Once the paper was in the oven it began to shrink until it was 30% of the original size. When we took it out, it was hard. It became something like plastic. From paper it turned into plastic. The technology now is so 'canggih'. Haha.

Before

After

Nice right? It'll be a very nice key chain. Luckily we punch a hole on top of it before we 'bake' it. It's impossible to punch a hole once we finish baking. That's one of the things i did during my holidays.

Holidays....

Holidays.......YEAH!! Having my holidays now. No work for two weeks. So fun. Need to relax a bit before seeing the kids again. It's actually quite stressful teaching them. Luckily I'm just working there till the end of next month. What am I going to do for the next two weeks? I don't have any idea. There's just one thing I must do. Sleep. Haha. Since I don't get to sleep late when I have work so I need to enjoy my sleep now. I plan to exercise too. Have been eating a lot lately. EAT + SLEEP = FAT. Need to exercise so I can still continue eating all those yummy things (mostly fatty and oily food). Gaining weight is so easy. But losing weight is so hard. What else shall I do this holidays? Hmm.... *thinking* No ideas already. Don't want to waste my two weeks of holidays. Will go and think now. Tata

My hamsters

I've been keeping hamsters since........i dunno when I started keeping it. I started keeping two hamsters. A female and a male. We called it Mickey and Minnie. But Mickey was actually a female. And Minnie was a male. We only knew about it when Mickey gave birth. Haha. Not our fault for naming them wrongly because the shopkeeper told us that Mickey was a male and Minnie was a female. We switched their names after that. I didn't know Minnie was pregnant too. When it gave birth i thought the babies were papayas. Haha. Because sometimes we feed them fresh fruits. Only knew it were baby hamsters when it started moving. But all of the baby hamsters died. Because the mother ate it. So cruel. After around a month the mother also died. So we went to buy two more hamsters to accompany Mickey. We didn't name them because we were afraid that we might name them wrongly again. Haha. The two were much smaller compared to Mickey. So we were afraid that it'll get bullied. But the shopkeeper told us that it wont fight since it's the same species. In the beginning they were OK but after a few months one of it died and another died too after sometime. So Mickey is the survivor. Haha. We brought Mickey along to the pet shop so that he could choose his partner. He picked one that has red eyes. It looks like a rat. Haha. Recently my sister and I upgraded their small house into a big bungalow. They still don't really know how to go into the tunnel and go up and down. Sometimes they would just climb from the side to go up and then 'terjun' down. Haha. They sure are cute no matter what they do.

Teacher's Day

For the first time in my life i celebrated Teacher's Day..Not as a student but as a teacher. Haha. Since I'm working at the nursery so I'm a teacher also la. I went to work as usual. When I arrive at the nursery, there were 2 kids waiting near the door. Each holding a present. They said good morning and then they gave the present to me. Sooooo sweet... I thank them and went inside. When I was going to start doing reading with the kids, the boss said that we don't have to do any reading today since it was teacher's day. Doing reading with the kids is very hard especially with the slower ones. You definitely need a lot of patience to be able to sit and 'tahan' them. If you don't have patience then you will 'meletup'. Haha. So I was very happy since I don't have to do reading with them. Since it was Thursday so they went out to play until around 9.30. We just have to keep an eye on them. Just to make sure they don't fight or fall down. After that they had 'circle time'. That's when they sing songs. They played games too. They played 'pass the parcel', dancing ( i don't know what it's called) and another game ( they say it in mandarin so i don't know what it is). Before the kids start eating, the teachers started to eat fruit tarts. Haha. Usually the teachers get to eat only after the kids have finish eating. So it's nice eating before them. We had our lunch too after the kids had finish eating. Then relax again. After the kids had their bath we played with them for awhile. That's when we received another present. Each teacher got a rose. It was given by one of the kid's parents. we got soap flower too. Don't think I'm going to use it. Just putting it in my room. Nice smell. Our boss gave us presents too. A bag of presents. Haha. That was the end of teacher's day. Hope I get to celebrate it once more.

my gifts

Heaven Knows

Rick Price - Heaven Knows

She's always on my mind

From the time I wake up,

Till I close my eyes.

She's everywhere I go

She's all I know.

And though she's so far away,

It just keeps getting stronger everyday

And even now she's gone

I'm still holding on

So tell me, where do I start

'Coz it's breakin' my heart

Don't wanna let her go

Chorus:

Maybe my love will come back someday

Only heaven knows

And maybe our hearts will find a way

But only heaven knows

And all I can do is hope & pray

'Coz heaven knows.

My friends keep telling me

That if you really love her,

You've gotta set her free

And if she returns in time

I'll know she's mine

But tell me, where do I start

'Coz it's breakin' my heart

Don't wanna let her go

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

Bridge:

'Coz heaven knows

Why I live in despair

'Coz wide awake or dreamin',

I know she's never there

And all the time I act so brave,

I'm shakin' inside

Why does it hurt me so?

(Repeat Chorus)

Heaven knows... heaven knows.

Eggs....

Eggs.....Do you know about all the different types of eggs? Of course we know about the eggs that we always eat. The 'normal' chicken egg. But there's other different, yummy eggs that are available. Maybe not all are available here but we still can find some other types of eggs here.

OK...Let's start with the salted duck eggs. It's made by soaking duck eggs in brine or packing each egg in damped salted charcoal. It's often eaten with congee ( in chinese it's called 'moi' ). The egg white is salty but the yolk is less salty. It's yolk is also used in chinese mooncake to symbolize the moon. But salted duck eggs can also be made from chicken eggs. Of course it will have a slightly different taste.





Next we have the century egg. It's preserved for only a few months. Not for hundred years. It's made by preserving chicken, duck or quail eggs in mixture of clay, salt, ash, limeand rice straw for several weeks to several months. If you ask the older generation they would tell you that it's preserved in horse urine. Hope that's not true. There's many ways to eat it. It can be eaten without being cook. Some people eat it with slices of pickled ginger root. On special occasion, it is served as part of the cold dish.





We also have tea eggs. It's actually hard boiled eggs that are further stewed in salted tea liquids. Other Flavorings are also added as well. We can usually find this eggs in some supermarket. You can smell the nice smelly from far. Haha.





Then we have the 'balut'... It's well known in Vietnam, Philiphines and Cambodia. It's actually fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly developed embryo inside. It you have been watching Fear Factor or The Amazing Race then you would have probably seen it before. I haven't tried it before. And i don't think i will try it. But i might consider trying.





Well... Time to try them soon. Haha....Eggie time

Food

Everyone needs to eat right? But sometimes when I go out to eat I just can't think of where to go. I don't know if it happens to you all but it happens to me all the time. So I'll just drive around until I find somewhere that's quite OK to eat. I just can't think of anywhere else to go. I'll always end up at the few shops that i usually go. I'm getting bored of the food there. Anyway is there anywhere that serve nice food over here?? I miss all those hawker stall's food. Haha. Alor Star does not have much nice food to eat. If you are finding nice food to eat then the last place to find is over here. Seriously. So if there's anywhere that serves nice food then please tell me.......

Cameron Highlands

Well, on Labour's Day i went for a trip. It may sound very interesting but it was not really that interesting because i only spent a night there. So it was quite tiring. We left from my grandmother's house at around 7 something i guess. Was still sleepy so don't know exactly what time it was. Haha. We had breakfast before starting the long journey. I tried to sleep but can't really sleep because it wasn't comfortable. When you are small then it's more comfortable but not when you are big. There's not much space for you to put your legs :P Halfway through the journey i was becoming restless. I felt like getting out from the car to take a walk. But unfortunately there's no place to stop because we were halfway up the hill. So had to 'tahan'. When we reach i was so happy. Finally, i can get out of the car. But...it was not as cold as what i expected. Colder compare to the weather here but not really that cold. So i bought strawberry ice cream. Nice and yummy. There was a lot of stalls selling fried mushrooms. So my brother bought one to try. I just had a little bite because mushroom is NOT my favourite. It taste quite ok. I didn't buy anything else because there was nothing to buy. Only vegetables and strawberries. After around 30 minutes we went back to the car and continue going up, up and up. The hotel we were going to stay only allow us to check in at 2 o'clock. So we had to find somewhere else to start picnic-ing. We manage to find a place so we started eating. By the time we had finish eating it was still early and still can't check in. So we went shopping. There's nothing much to buy. Unless you want to buy strawberries. Everywhere you turn there's strawberries. Strawberry jam, strawberry juice, strawberry popcorn, strawberry this...strawberry that....Finally it was 2 o'clock. So we went to the hotel to check in. Everyone was tired so they went for a nap. When everyone had 'charge their batteries' we decided to go for a drive. but since it was a public holiday so....traffic jam..can't go up and can't go down. Went back to hotel then walk to a nearby pasar malam. I ate a lot of things over there. Can't remember what i ate. Bought some vegetables then walk back to the hotel. We cook the vegetables for dinner. It taste the same as what we have here. So nothing special. Haha. By night time it was really cold. We didn't go out anymore. Stayed at the hotel to watch tv. Haha. Next day we went to 'Big Red Strawberry Farm'. We tried the strawberry waffles with ice cream, strawberry sundae, butterhead salad juice, yogurt with fresh strawberries and fresh strawberries with cream. YUMMY. After that it was time to go back home. On the way back we stopped at a tea house. We had scones. It was so expensive. There's just two 'buns' and strawberry jam and butter n cream. It's RM 12 just for those small scones. But it was nice. After eating we went back home. A long journey back...........

Some pictures that i took:
