When one door closes another opens. But often we look so long so regretfully upon the closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us.

Always remember....

2010-07-23T13:35:00.002+08:00

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But don't forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

Focus....

2009-11-14T01:21:00.002+08:00

Guess you all know that I will be having my exam soon. But my brain does not seem to know it. I try to study but every little thing will distract me. TV. Music. Food. Phone calls. Laptop. Dog barking. Every super mini thing. Some of my friends that are in university are having their holidays now. And I'm so so jealous. I want my holiday to start now too. I'm starting to think of what to do for my holidays now. I want a longer holiday. Study one semester, holiday one semester. But there's no such thing. So better stop dreaming about it. Time to focus and study.......(one more month and I will have my freedom) *stop thinking about holiday..study study study*

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. -Groucho Marx

I'm so lazy

2009-10-22T01:40:00.002+08:00

I still have around a month plus till exam. But I'm so lazy to study. Feels sleepy whenever I open the book. I still have a lot to revise but I'm just too lazy. Lazy, lazy, lazy. I just want to sit down and relax and enjoy. I don't want to study but I know I have to. So I better stop complaining and start studying. Complaining won't do me any good.

This weekend...

2009-10-05T17:05:00.001+08:00

This is the worst weekend ever. I can't take it anymore. Help!!! Help!!! Help!!!

Something I found

2009-09-25T01:52:00.005+08:00

Was going through some of my things when I found some old Ringgit notes that my grandpa gave. I only have a few of it. I think he gave that to us for Chinese New Year (or was it during his birthday). Anyway, I haven't seen any notes like this before. So I guess he have been keeping it for quite some time. And it's still in nice condition (not like the notes that you get from the market which is old and smelly). I wonder if we could get older notes from the bank. It's nice to be able to keep them. Below are the pics of it..

This is the one that I haven't seen before

This is slightly different cos the number is not at d side

This is the current RM1

The old note looks nicer.......

Dinner..

2009-08-23T00:03:00.004+08:00

I had another dinner with my family and family friends today. Ate at Huatang Restoran. Dinner was nice and yummy and everyone was very full and bloated after finishing dinner. Haha. I'm still feeling very full now. These are what we had....

Overall, I had a nice time this birthday. Was a little sad about my taxation but there's nothing I can do about it now. So was happy enjoying after that.

21st birthday..

2009-08-21T00:50:00.005+08:00

Celebrated my 21st birthday recently. What did I do the whole day? Nothing much but I remember eating a lot. Haha. Woke up and got ready to go out with friends n sis for lunch. We went to eat at Kim Gary since haven't gone there for quite some time. And friends n sis bought me a cake (cake number 1). It's very nice and cute. After eating, we went for our class. Guess what you will feel when you are so full? Haha. Sleepy of course. All of us were trying so hard not to fall asleep. Had to eat sweets and talk a little to keep us awake. Was so glad when the class ended. Went back and had some rest and then it was time for dinner. Went to 32 with cousins, aunty, nephew and sis. The food's portion was not big but it's very 'rich' so was quite full after eating.And then had cake again (cake number 2). Haha. The cake was nice but I was so full so had difficulty finishing it. After dinner, headed back to aunty's house. Chat a little and it was time to zZz. Haha.

Some of the pics that sis took (Thanks..)

*P/S : Thanks for all the wishes and may you all have a nice and wonderful time always..

Sad sad day..

2009-08-17T18:43:00.002+08:00

I fail one of my paper...Am feeling so sad right now..There's so many questions in my mind now...If only..I wish..I should have....But none of this will help anymore...So better concentrate and make sure I pass my coming papers...Guess that's all that I am able to do.... :(

Baking..

2009-07-31T00:17:00.004+08:00

Recently, I've been baking and making cakes. Some was OK but some don't look that nice. I'm still trying to make it perfect (it's nearly impossible but still have to keep trying). Anyway below are the few that turned out quite OK.

First week in college

2009-07-11T00:15:00.002+08:00

The first week in college was terrible. After two months of holidays, my ears and brain are not functioning well. Haha. Had difficulties trying to catch what the lectures were saying. After lecture ended, went back to my aunty's house and had a nice nap. Well, this semester, the lecturers are better than the previous semester's lecturers. Maybe I will be more interested to listen. Haha. Hope all will be better for the coming week.

Last week of hols

2009-07-01T17:45:00.004+08:00

Holidays are going to be over. Time to go back to college and start studying. Just the thought of it makes me feel so lazy. I don't hate studying but I just hate taking exams. I just wish there are no exams. Then I would not mind studying. Haha. I know what I'm wishing is so impossible. I just hope holidays don't end.

2009-06-16T23:11:00.005+08:00

Recently, my dogs have been able to get out whenever we lock them at the back. We thought we did not lock the gate properly. But that happened a few times. So it was not possible that we did not lock it properly for so many times. Then, we found out what had happened. Take a look at the video and you will know why they manage to get out.

My blog is resting...

2009-05-09T14:09:00.003+08:00

Don't have much time to blog recently. Exam will be around the corner and I'm busy catching up on my studies. So I'm letting my blog rest. Haha. When I'm able to breathe (that is after my exam) then my blog will start working again. Hopefully I'm won't be lazy that time or my blog will have extended holiday. Haha. Time to hit the books........

Fun + Crazy

2009-04-05T17:27:00.005+08:00

I got something to play with recently. It's kind of challenging but it is driving me crazy. It's really testing my patience. Don't really have much patience but then another part of me just need to solve it. So manage to solve it at last. Will get another to try other time. So, manage to think what it is? Well, it's these small boxes.

All these are unsolved:

All these are after they are solved:

Solving all these are driving me crazy. I need some rest.

Which is better?

2009-03-23T18:45:00.004+08:00

Went to the hairdresser today. And she recommended me a new look. So which hairstyle suits me better?

Hairstyle 1

Hairstyle 2

Some thing's wrong...

2009-03-22T13:10:00.005+08:00

I think some thing's wrong with my head. Can't seem to remember things that well. And always end up searching for my things. There's things that I still have not manage to find. Wondering where it is. Luckily I can remember my name and other things that's important. Haha. My bro was testing if I remember having a laptop. He said I gave it to him. Nice try. Haha. Having pain in my head. Did not knock on anything but it's painful. Maybe it's from lack of sleep. Should try sleeping early already. I think the lack of sleep is making me so moody (not always just sometimes) Yesterday got so geram cos my dog bite my slippers. So me (being moody again) whack him. He got so scared till he hid in the drain and later tried squeezing himself in a little corner near the washing machine. But I think he doesn't dare to bite slippers again (left another slipper last night to test and it was still there) Hope he will be good and won't bite already. So even if I forget to bring my slippers in then it will still there. I think I need to take ginkgo.

Terrible week..

2009-03-16T21:29:00.004+08:00

This week is terrible. Have been sick for the whole week and still not getting better (maybe a little). I'm really hoping to get well soon. I've so many things to do but don't have the mood. There's still a lot to catch up. So much to study but so little time. Why is there only 24 hours in a day? I need more..more...more...Still have not finish helping my cousin with her accounts. Suppose to finish by this week and I still have 8 more months of sales to check. *faints* Took a week to finish checking 4 months of sales. How to finish checking 8 months of sales in less than a week?? Another thing..My college is bad, terrible, horrible. Had classes 3 days a week and for 3 days the lift was not working. What is wrong with the lift? It happens quite often. But it has not happen 3 days in a row before. And of all the time, it happen when I was sick. Really had difficulty getting up. 7 floors. Absolutely crazy. Nearly had cramp when I manage to reach the seventh floor. One of the lecturer told us that one of the staff fell and was admitted to the hospital. Oh..Did I mention that the stairway has no lights. So it's totally dark unless there's sunlight. No wonder the staff fell. Such terrible college. Can't they maintain the place? They should use a little of the money we pay for the fees to pay for the maintenance. I'm getting tired of climbing stairs. So please please please repair the lift.
Going to study a little and then going to have my rest.

She's back...

2009-02-23T20:36:00.002+08:00

Poppy's back...She looks cuter now. Or maybe it's because I miss her. Haha. Chiko was very excited to see her but Poppy was more excited to see Brownie. Brownie was not very happy to see her cos she was blocking his way so he can't walk without knocking her. So in the end, she played with Chiko. They are having fun chasing and biting and snatching things. Oops....forgot to feed them. Will post their pictures soon...

Will have a nice sleep tonight..

2009-02-16T21:26:00.002+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year

Where? Where? Where?

2009-01-05T22:41:00.003+08:00

Having major crisis. Where should I study? Continue in DISTED or change to PTPL? Should I go to a nicer placer or should I go somewhere not so nice (and haunted)? Should I choose the college that has more days off? Should I skip paper F4 till F6 and take F7 till F9 first? Can someone just help me solve this? Oh.. Having headache..Here's the advantage and disadvantage of both the colleges..

DISTED
Advantage: will give original text books(BPP), get to experience a little of campus life and there's place to park car
Disadvantage: classes from Monday till Friday, first time teaching F7-F9, have to be their guinea pigs and have to skip F4 till F6, fees is expensive

PTPL (IPG)
Advantage: have more experience in teaching, only three days of studies, have past year papers, fees is cheaper
Disadvantage: horrible building, think they'll give photostated books, no parking, no campus environment

So...Which college should I go to? Tossing coin...Head or tail?

Happy New Year 2009..

A NEW YEAR DAWNING

By Jill Eisnaugle

A New Year is dawning with promise abound

An era’s beginning with much to be found

A time for renewal, reflection, and change

Where our sacred dreams are, at last, in range

No longer shall we dwell on days now bygone

From this hour forward, our hearts shall be strong

We will face the morning with stars in our eyes

Grateful for a New Year of wealth and surprise.

Through burdens and hardships, we’ve battled and won

To now find ourselves at the New Year begun

Away from the sorrow that time has removed

And ready to embrace the future improved

Our souls remain steadfast, our smiles remain bright

As we greet the New Year of glory with might

Regardless of the paths which led us to now

We stand here, united, with hope on our brow.

A New Year has beckoned and long may she roam

To bring us the blessing and solace of home

The foods on our table, so plenty and grand

And riches held dearly in each heart and hand

May your joys outnumber the days you feel lost

May your wishes be on angels’ wings embossed

So, your only struggles are those you forget

Leading 2009 to be your best year, yet!

Anyone wants to buy??

2008-12-30T19:57:00.005+08:00

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..

2008-12-14T23:02:00.003+08:00

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...

2008-11-03T20:50:00.003+08:00

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

2008-10-21T22:10:00.009+08:00

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...

2008-09-30T01:20:00.005+08:00

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

Chiko and Poppy

2008-09-19T00:16:00.003+08:00

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?

2008-09-14T17:27:00.003+08:00

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...

2008-08-10T22:58:00.001+08:00

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...

2008-08-09T20:13:00.003+08:00

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???

2008-07-22T19:10:00.003+08:00

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

2008-07-07T12:45:00.004+08:00

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...

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.....

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

2008-06-08T20:24:00.003+08:00

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..

2008-06-07T20:00:00.015+08:00

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

2008-06-04T16:50:00.006+08:00

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....

2008-05-22T20:55:00.003+08:00

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

2008-05-18T23:17:00.008+08:00

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

2008-05-17T22:23:00.005+08:00

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.

Heaven Knows

2008-05-14T23:44:00.006+08:00

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....

2008-05-10T17:55:00.005+08:00

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

2008-05-09T00:41:00.005+08:00

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.......

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:

When You Love Someone

2008-04-24T17:28:00.004+08:00

When You Love Someone
by Preppie

When you love someone so deep inside,

It seems like it's so easy to hide.

You've loved him for so very long,

You would think he could do no wrong.

Every day you would hope and pray,

That he would always stay this way.

He treated you like you should be treated,

You thought your life was finally completed.

You thought your love was growing true,

And then one day it was all so blue.

He started putting you down and it hurt,

You thought all you were to him was dirt.

He started ignoring you and you wondered why,

All you wanted to do was curl up and die.

You thought your relationship would never end,

But that was all so fake and pretend.

One night he was so sweet to you,

You thought all those things were maybe untrue,

Two days later he was back the same,

You thought you were the one to blame.

He thought the relationship was getting too serious,

And that you had become a little too curious.

By this time you knew it wouldn't last,

All the nice things he said were in the past.

You thought that you would marry him some day,

But this time God wanted to get his way.

You wanted things back how they were before,

But you knew this couldn't happen anymore.

It was a Saturday night about ten o'clock,

You heard the news and it wasn't a shock.

You knew this was going to happen soon,

As you laid there and cried in the pale lit moon.

So...loving someone is sometimes very hard. So better think properly before loving someone. HAHA..

Sports Day at nursery

2008-04-19T23:21:00.004+08:00

Well...last Thursday was a fun but tiring day.Why? Cos a few teachers and me had to take care of the small kids during their sports day. Can you imagine around 60 kids running around? But somehow we manage to control them. It's actually fun to see them run and play the games. They look so cute. Those small tiny legs running. But some are a nighmare because they cant even listen to simple instruction. Haih. But what can you do? They are still kids. Sometimes even the adults can't follow a simple instruction. What more do you expect from the kids? But overall it was OK. Except for the part where we had to carry the things back. Haha. Carrying those things makes my legs become like jelly. Maybe it's also because i'm not fit. :) Haven't been exercising lately. But the sports day was very fun and nice. Good experience. Cos i haven't been to a kid's sports day before. Now i will know what it is like. Haha

Some pictures of the kids:

2008-04-12T21:53:00.006+08:00

Cars..cars..cars..I guess everyone know what it is. Some cars are so cute and nice but some are so.... dull. Well, there's this program called Overhaulin'. It's a really interesting program. They take your car and modify it for you. I'm not sure if it's free of charge or not but it's fun to see your car looking different and unique. I hope that they will have it here. Cars over here are too dull. Needs a little bit of 'magic' to make it more lively. Haha. Here are the photo before and after it's modified.

Before:

After:

That's a very cool car..I seriously hope that we'll have a similar program here.

Luck..luck..luck

2008-04-11T22:41:00.004+08:00

Luck...Some people believe in it but some people don't.
I didn't really believe in it very much. Until what happen today morning. I was out settling something in town. I needed to stop for just awhile to get down and get something. But i couldn't find any parking space so i park at a no parking place. Anyway i was just going to go down for awhile. I went down and settle my things and was on my way back when i saw the policeman took out his pen and his 'saman' book. I ran there as fast as i could. But...too late. He had already written my car number plate. And he just said to me ' no parking here'. I should have try to bribe him. HAHA!! But he looks so fierce so i didn't even say anything. Then he just went away after that. A few people who were standing there told me that the policeman will usually come later in the afternoon. Well...i suppose i was really unlucky..
This incident really taught me not to take risk so much when you are not very lucky..Luckily i didn't gamble that day. Or i might be bankrupt..Haha..
