home.. =)

Hi my sexy Penang and hot Malaysia i'm seeing you again. it's so nice to be home.. This is where i belong! =)

I just landed in Penang at 5pm just now and reached home at 8 something. Damn tired. After cleaning up, I’ll go to amma’s house to prepare the Pai Thni Kong celebration.

I feel like I’ve been away for so long although it’s like just half a month. But half a month is really long for me. I missed a lot of things in Penang. But everything happens for a reason la.

You can have the both worlds you know. In life, you need to choose. When you choose, you need to let go something else.  So while you are having something now, you have to sacrifice other things that come along the way. Unless your life is so dull that you don’t have to make any choice.

My journey started from Sunday 15/1/2012. I went to Hong Kong with my dad. Then to Taiwan on Sunday 22/1/2012. My mum, sister, aunty and amma flew there to meet us. Then on 25^th my brother flew there alone to meet us. Funny I know. Everyone like went separately to a same destination. What to do, my mum and brother is working while my sister is schooling.

It’s ok la. as long as we celebrated CNY together overseas. So I consider it as a family trip .

I’m done with travelling this year. I am super broke. It’s time to work, work harder, save and save more money before I fly again next year. I make it to a point that I must travel and get my passport chopped at least once a year from different countries.

Now time to clean up, unpack and pray. House is loaded with things and messy again. Wohooo!

*yes I practice Penang-centrism. =)*

love..

Love is not to be measured by the amount of money you spent on your partner.

Travel only if u have money. No money no travel. Don’t travel and others spend on you.

CAT government.. aih..

quote of the day

Life is just too short to do the same thing over and over again. Seek for varieties and open to possibilities and new challenges in life.

awesome sportsmen

awesome!

jaw-drop watching this.

only if i can be like them. i'm impressed with their passion.

if you want something, work hard and you'll get it. =p

CNY 2012 - Nasi lauk you never taste before!

Simple and yet meaningful Chinese New Year video.

my midnight time

It's boring to blog nowadays.

so what do you do at this hour? Sleeping? Or still awake?

What type of person are you? Morning type of person or night type of person?

I'm a night person.

I works better at night.

I remember i used to study at night for my PMR, SPM and STPM and it worked well. I even studied till the next morning.

I don't know but i remember things more at night, to be specific, midnight.

So midnight is my working hours. =p

I feel less stress.

I don't have to response to people at this hour and they will be sleeping, no one will bother what i do at this hour.

It's nice to do things at your preferable time.

Inspirations come visit me at night.

I can be alone. I can do what i want. I can have all the time by myself. I hear no noise. I hear no people except my loyal radio.

Night time is peaceful. It's calm. It's relaxing.

*by the way, i am happy with my friends who are already working and got a job.*

results of final exam of final semester is OUT!

alright I am so afraid right now. 

The moment is here. The results of my final exam of my final semester have just released.

Oh i am so excited. And i'm so happy for my classmates and friends as they are now officially graduated. Everyone is posting it on Facebook. 

But i haven't checked mine. I freak out.

Everything happened so fast. 

Just a few hours ago, i posted in my Facebook that "u worry abt not getting a job? i worry abt not passing my final final exam lo.. "

Now, UTAR announced the results. All this while i was anticipated for it but not this time.

I have some bad feeling. I just feel uneasy.

It's like something bad is gona happen.

There's a very thick insecurities built in me.

I have been so grumpy lately thinking of the results. 

homaigawad homaigawd.

I just want to pass la, not A...

protest safely for Anwar

Whoever is going for Anwar’s peaceful gathering tomorrow morning, may you be safe. Bring mask and salt. I don't think you can really have a smooth protest like the pro-government people. Too many double standards by the police. As I believe in democracy and support any peaceful activities, remember there’s always limit in freedom and everything else in the world. Whatever you do, do it with a clear reason and not to follow blindly. Protest safely..

fed up of street protest

eh dah bosan meluat fed up la hali hali semua benda pun mau protest mau teriak on da road. tak penat ke? buat la kerja lain. be creative a bit la..

yes u can protest. i don't disagree to protest.

But why must it everytime on the road. Why must all the time street protest?

Why small matter or matter that don't affect the society in general or the majority of us, political parties also take advantage to protest?

Go ahead if you political big guns want to protest but don't misuse the people.

early angpau RM50

like what Rachael said, i got an early ang pau.

true enough..

Cuz i got RM50 today. hehehe. I was just lucky again..

Thanks to Nixon for breaking the news to me. =p

quote of the day

DO IT NOW!

simple to be happy

 Oh yes I am happy today. Sometimes it’s just so easy to be happy.

I realized I am that kind of people that easily feel satisfied and contented.

What’s so happy about today?

Happiness is when Nathan slept on my bed last night soundly and we missed the concert by Olivia Ong.

Happiness is when I brought Nathan to the hidden delicious Curry Mee in Air Itam where only local know where it is.

Happiness is when I saw the Curry Mee aunties are still around and they smiled at me.

Happiness is when I got to know that my loved one is called for an interview at The Star.

Happiness is when I bargained kao-kao and bought antiques aka unwanted items aka rubbish cheap-cheap at Armenian Street ‘thieves’ market. 

Happiness is when I got updates from Pei Suang.

Happiness is when I got to know that Ai Loon is now working in a newspaper company in Penang! Wohooo!

Now I know why I pokai – food, books, travel, antiques.

*isn't it simple to be happy*

manusia..

Manusia memang macam tu kan. Bila dah kehilangan baru nak menghargai. haha! tak terlambatkah?

family

I prefer to be in a monetary poor family than a poor of love family. 

New Year's Eve from Penang Hill

This photo was taken from Penang Hill, the highest hill on the island on New Year's Eve. Shutterbugs were eagerly waiting to snap fireworks from the low land but too bad, as the time reached 12am, the dark thick clouds were covering the entire hill.

quote of the day

new year, everything must be new, everything must be better and greater than before! life is about walking forward and backward or stand still and do nothing. 

happy new year 2012

Happy New Year to all!

Selamat Tahun Baru. 

Xin Nien Kuai Le! =p

Today is Sunday, it's also a public holiday. So everyone can just relax at home and spend time with friends and family. The good thing that a public holiday falls on a Sunday is the day after which is Monday, it will be a holiday too. So, tomorrow will be another public holiday. haha.

My mum says today is a good day for spring cleaning and i have to wake up now. hmmmm.. But this means Chinese New Year is less than a month from now. wohooo! =p
