Singapore and Randomness.

Hey peeps.. =) Went to Singapore for a week with my family..

Just some edited pictures to be shared.. =)

Nothing much.. just a pleasant family trip..

Lots of gathering with all the grandaunts.. uncles and aunties..

and well.. i have to say.. in a way.. i like Singapore..

It's a very nice city.. with everything so well planned and clean..

but of course there are things that i don't quite like as well..

so.. by the end of the one week.. I really miss being in Penang..

where nice food is just 500m away.. XD

Nothing beats being home huh? =)

Visited a couple of interesting places..

Marina Barrage was a cool place.. Love Clarke Quay for the awesome nightlife..

Henderson Waves would be a really nice place to unwind and relax..

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple Museum was an eye opener to the story of the Buddha which i only know bits and pieces of before this..

and the Body World exhibition at the Science Centre was something different..

plastination of real human bodies.. too bad no photography allowed..

this link provides pictures of it..

the rest of the photos are on facebook.. =)

Holidays have been great so far.. Spending time with my family..

Yumcha with the girls.. Hanging out with the usual gang..

hmm.. but i miss the gang back in IMU.. haha..

was flipping through our Malaysian Studies project pictures...

and yeahh.. found myself missing those people.. =)

Read a couple of novels.. Both are awesome..

Made me laughed out loud and even teared..

tomorrow.. will be an interesting day.. lol..

i'll be experimenting with cheese and oreo with the girls..

and see if my "cheese cake" turn out right..

the girls.. each have a project of their own as well.. XD

we'll see if everything turns out nicely..

I realised.. i blog when i feel crappy.. and yeah..

i'm feeling crappy now.. =.=

feel like bugging han and get him to treat me a sundae..

hmm.. yeah.. think that's what i'll do after dinner..

hopefully.. i'll get my sundae.. XD

Signing off.

For Han. =)

I was reading han's resume for his application to various us universities...

and.. i have to say i was impressed...

haha.. i guess.. there're a lot of things that i don't know about my lil brother..

though he's way taller than me.. though he's bigger than me..

though i've always acted like the younger sibling when i'm around him..

in my eyes.. he's always my lil brother... my one and only lil brother...

the small kid whom i always feel i need to look after... =)

Over the years.. I've never realized... how much he has grown and matured...

being the younger sibling.. it has never been easy for him i guess...

he told me that it was stressful being my younger brother some years ago...

that was something that NEVER dawned upon me...

cause we.. the both of us.. we excel in different areas in school...

he was always bright in math and science.. brilliant in sports... especially badminton...

i'm the exact opposite... i suck badly in math.. but i was better in languages...

i can never even manage to serve properly.. let alone play badminton..

but i was always busy with scouting when he was busy whacking shuttlecocks and umpiring...

i participated in debates and public speaking.. he on the other

hand was always into math and science quizzes.. i was the more outgoing sibling while he was the more quiet one..

we are different.. very different...

but what i lack.. he made it up with teaching me...

he taught me how to at least serve... cause to him.. i'm hopeless to be taught how to play... XD

he taught me the rules of badminton.. so i can watch badminton matches with him.. and together we can cheer for our favourite players.. =)

we stayed up late and watched football together... we booed when Man U lost...

those were the days..

my parents never compared the two of us..

but i guess some of our teachers and relatives did..

and somehow he felt it..

he has always wanted to be as good as i am if not better than me..

* though i never thought that i'm good.. i always thought he was way better...

maybe... just a little quiet when he's with people.. =) *

and that's where the stress came in for him...

that's what made him push himself i think.. to study that hard...

seriously.. i wasn't half as hardworking as he was...

it always amazes me how he manages his tight training schedules and schoolwork so well...

imagine.. 4 days of training per week.. with tuition and homework in between...

how did he do it? =.=

all his hard work paid off.. when he did excellently for his SPM and was awarded the JPA scholarship.. =D

When i was told.. i think i was so much happier than he was.. haha..

and well.. well.. few months at INTEC and that guy came telling me that he has a girl friend...

haha.. and i was the first to know.. i was happy for him.. but i could never imagined my younger brother with a girl friend.. hahaha.. waaaayyyyy beyond my imagination...

and guess what?

half a year later.. he was actually telling me to go get a boyfriend and stop being so choosy... =.=

Koh.Young.Han.. I'm NOT!!

Now.. when i talk to him.. i no longer see the lil kid whom i called names at.. =p

i see.. a guy with aims and goals.. who knows what he wants..

he has grown.. so much.. =)

i'm glad..

he's leaving for us next year.. and i know i'll miss him badly..

who else can make me laugh like a hyena and not care how ugly i look.. XD

who else will say that i have a face like the moon with lotsa lubang and can still get away with it...

who else can say that i walk like a duck and still have me laugh over it...

worse.. who else to act like a kid and fool around with?

3 years... it'll be fast.. right?

hmm.. just wanna tell you, han.. that i'll always be proud of you.. =)

Updates.

It's been a while again..

anyway.. i'm home.. =)

EOS ended a week ago.. but it feels like it has been over for a long long time...

and well.. as usual.. some papers are sucky.. sigh.. hoping for the best and keeping my fingers crossed... =)

Hmm.. so after EOS.. a quarter of B107 came to Penang..

honestly.. i don't know what penang has to offer besides food..

so.. it was truly a jalan jalan cari makan trip for them i guess...

with occasional stops at some places of interest..

Hope everyone of you enjoyed the trip and the food..

though i can tell that we are all very very tired...

haha.. i, myself was exhausted..

didn't really have a good rest after EOS..

but bringing them around.. and seeing how much they enjoy the food did make me smile.. =)

Then the few of us.. went to ipoh..

for food again.. haha..

to my ipoh batchmates.. thankew for spending time with us and bringing us around..

thankew wai han for letting us stay over at your place..

and thankew ling wei for inviting me to go on this trip with you guys..

and thankew to the whole bunch for all the fun and laughter.. =)

i don't have any pictures of both the penang trip and the ipoh trip yet...

will blog about it later.. =)

* Will You. Tell me. What's going on. *

Thoughts.

Sem 5 has ended.. just like that..

Time flies.. it just doesnt seem real..

If there is one thing that i've learnt throughout these 14 weeks of sem 5..

It would be how things can change as time pass..

how not to take things for granted..

how things don't always stay the same

how you never know what life has for you..

and how you need to learn to adapt to the changes...

Sem 5. Its just like any other semester.. i guess?

hmm.. perhaps not..

People walk in and out of your lives..

Some come and go..

Some might stay for a season..

and rarely.. some will be there for a long long time..

i've learnt to not expect so much..

i've learnt to accept the fact that people.. even your closest friends...

might not be there for you when you need them the most...

you need to be strong and stand on your own two feet.. =)

I've learnt.. to just cherish and live the moment..

to appreciate the people who walked into my life..

be it for a short moment or for a long season.. =)

Thank you for the smiles and laughter that you've brought..

Thank you for the lessons that you have taught me..

and thank you for the tears.. they made me stronger.. =)

Home. =D

I've been home for a week..

and seriously.. there's no place like home..

I should say that this one week break came just in time..

and i have no idea why.. but it has been something that i've been looking forward to for a very long time..

and this one week has been great.. =)

uhmm.. besides the fact that all my plans of studying were totally neglected..

and all i did was spend time chilling with friends and family...

nothing beats having a nice meal with the whole family around..

gramps, mum and dad, han and i...

it is a complete picture..

and i've gotta say this.. everytime i'm home.. i feel like a princess..

gramps is exceptionally nice to me.. treating me to stuff that i love to eat..

dad too.. bringing us to the best place for the best food..

mum being her usual self.. shared everything with me..

i filled her in on uni life.. complaints.. anything at all..

and han.. it's really good to have him home..

i feel like a kid again.. somehow i always feel like a lil kid around him..

though he is the younger one.. and i have no idea why i can laugh over the stupidest things when i'm with him.. we can just laugh about anything at all..

and then there's friends... friends whom i've known for so many years..

whom everytime when we come together.. we can just have fun.. and enjoy each other's company..

and penang.. is always lovely.. the food especially.. haha..

so.. yup.. this break has been a very satisfying one.. =)

minus the cacat-ed study plan.. =p

it's SO GOOD to be home.. =D

2-week-update. =)

It's been a loooong time since i've been here huh? =)

Been busy.. with assignments, projects and FUN! =D

and i've been seriously sleep deprived for the past two weeks..

having not more than 5 hours of sleep every night beginning from the night before the CNS test..

owh well.. pictures ahead to help me narrate what i've been up to.

One night before the CNS CAL test, i was at kx's place.. i guess we sorta studied and ended up chit chatting, lying on her bed.. XD halfway through study-chatting, suddenly, kx reached into her blanket and pulled these two uhmm.. teddies out.. LOL.. and when i was wondering why.. she arranged them as seen in the picture and put my neurotransmitters notes before them.. XD anyway.. i'm glad that i did owhkay.. cause i was seriously freaking out that morning itself.. my facts were all jumbled up and the i dont even know what drug is for what... =.=

After cns, it was seriously PARTAY time!! =D

We first had a nice dinner to pamper ourselves at Pasta Zanmai. =)

a very very very satisfying meal. =D

Then.. it was a string of birthday celebrations.. beginning with wei ping's..

the weekend before CNS.. I hope we managed to surprise him.. =)

Next, after CNS, it was ah beh's turn.. with almost 40 of us including a special guest turning up at steven's corner to celebrate.. On the 19th night, we celebrated kp's birthday.. at a chinese restaurant.. and on the 22nd night.. david's at damansara village.. David's was meant to be a surprise... but then too bad la har.. the waiter's spoilt the surprise.. =(

And.. b107 went clubbing!! haha.. owhkay.. not the entire b107.. but still there were almost 40 of us.. and i was really glad to see everyone having fun and enjoying themselves.. =) for the first time, i actually thought that it was fun.. =) anyway.. happy birthday kx.. =D i know you've been planning and planning and planning this for SO LONG.. i hope you had fun.. hugz. <3

That weekend, i met up with yu xuan.. it has been a long time since the last time i saw him..

somehow.. i've always felt thankful to have him as a friend..

he was always there.. when i had trouble with math, he tutored me..

when i wanted to rant, he was there to listen..

and i was always remembered no matter where he is..

I have birthday gifts delivered to me from Hong Kong..

When he went to Europe as an exchange student..

I have postcards in my letterbox from Paris..

I have chocolates from Switzerland...

and... I have lotsa little little things from Europe as souvenirs...

I am truly blessed to have a friend like you.. thankew yu xuan.. =)

After that weekend.. it was all about the upcoming Merdeka Celebration in IMU which is an event in conjunction with the b107 Malaysian Studies Project..

Though i am not part of the Malaysian Studies class.. i am glad that i'm a part of this whole big thing.. I'm glad that i was given the opportunity to help Ling Wei and co for deco..

to help kx cook pasta and lum mee.. to be part of the marching team..

Though something went wrong somewhere during the marching routine.. i still thought it was great.. we've done better.. but that is sufficient to impress.. yes? =p and it was nerve wrecking to be the one responsible to raise the flag.. all eyes were on me.. it was a bit cacated.. lol.. but hey.. the last time i sang Negaraku and raised the flag was when i was 16.. so forgivable la har.. =p anyway.. it feels kind of weird to be wearing my scouts uniform again.. ah.. i miss my scouting days.. =) credits to Kean Ping for the unique idea for the opening ceremony.. and credits to the whole marching team for setting it up.. =)

The wonderful deco.. by Ling Wei and the deco team and everyone else who worked almost every night till the wee hours of the morning to make the atrium spectacular.. =D *round of applause* i seriously salute everyone of you for the effort you guys put in.. The fantastic twin towers made of cans.. ALUMINIUM CANS.. 1178 of them.. i'll never look at the twin towers the same way again.. for the patience.. for the effort.. i salute you guys.. =) the kolam.. done by anitha and people.. haha.. great job.. i did a bit of it.. my first time ever trying to do a kolam and.. it is haaaarddddd... especially when you need to fill the small small spaces between the letters.. =S and credits again to Ling Wei for the abstract logo.. =)

Some pictures to be shared.. =) Ling Wei looks different with a kebaya that day.. And great job to both the emcees, david and shamala.. =)

"Here in My Home" i really enjoyed the rapping part.. haha.. =) and for the other cultural dances.. i don't have pictures.. credits to ida and the dancers for all the hard work.. =)

My first time wearing a sari.. =) Thankew anitha for the sari.. and yes.. we are proud to be penangnites.. =D

I thought he would NEVER run out of energy.. LOL..

And a nice picture of B107.

And the Jai Ho video to mark the end of this event..

When b107 danced together for the very first time..

I felt togetherness. Hearts b107. <3

After being busy for so long.. i met up with lx and cs for some catching up.. and they pampered me with dessert and tea.. =) Thanks guys.. i'm looking forward to raya.. to see the rest of the gang and also to spend some time together.. =)

It has been two crazy weeks.. but it was worth it.. No better way to spend two whole weeks.. =)
