Youth Kairos Course
Just came bek from a 6 days 5 nights course @ Port Dickson. What is Youth Kairos Course btw?? Is actually a study of the World Christian Movement that looks at the mission of the Great Commission for Christians. A course that helps us to discover what is God purpose in our life.

Wow~This course was AWESOME! Although it was quite intense, and requires us to discipline ourselves to read and think. But I really benefited a lot from it..Enjoyed being with the people there and enjoyed the food and place a lot. Loves the time when we get the chance to share our thoughts and ideas. Most importantly, it changes the perspective of my life. Helps me to discover the purpose and what should I put into priority in my life! Let me understand things that I don't even bother at all...

Youth Kairos Course...A good experience and eye-opener to me. Thank God for all this. My life will never be the same again!
Adventurous Trip (Part 2)
#3: Alor Setar, Kedah

It takes approximately 6 hours to travel from Klang to Alor Setar. OMG! I can't believe that I actually traveled 11 hours on bus in a day!

Arrived at Alor Setar @ 4.30am

Had breakfast @ 记得来点心 (Ji De Lai Dim Sum).

Plently of dim sum there. A nice place for a full breakfast. Remember to come oh~

Paddy Museum

Since Kedah is our country main rice producer, a visit to the Paddy Museum is a must!

Visited the observatory on the 1st floor of the museum. There is a huge mural on the life of the people there. Take a seat on the rotating platform and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Pusat Sains Negara (Cawangan Kedah)

Due to the extremely hot weather at Alor Setar, we decided to stay indoor and hang out in places with air-con. Visited Pusat Sains Negara, which is located next to the Paddy Museum. Although this Science Center wasn't as equipped as those at PetroSains or Pusat Sains at KL, we still managed to spend few hours there!

Had Iced Mixed-Fruit, Otah-otah & Laksa @ 大观(Da Guan)

Dinner @ 二条街. Delicious Fried Oyster, Chicken Wings & Wu Xiang.

Fried Oyster & Wu Xiang Stall were owned by Junne's Uncle & Aunt.

Rock Cafe & Bali-bali Hai Cafe. Both cafes have the ambience of Bali in it.

Adventurous Trip (Part 1)
Ok..It's time for me to share about my adventurous trip during the semester break. Lovena came back Muar together with me and we stayed 2 days in Muar. We then headed to our 1st Station - Kuantan, Pahang.

The Adventure Begins...

#1 : Kuantan, Pahang

It takes 5 hours for us to travel from Muar to Kuantan. The road on the way to Kuantan was 'bengkang-bengkok'. Passed by Tangkak, Segamat and other places to reach Kuantan. My cousin picked us up at the bus terminal when we arrived. After that, me and Lovena managed to meet up with Si Mei and her crazy gang!

Later in the evening, my aunt brought us for a buffet dinner at Swiss Garden Resort. Really thank my aunt for this good meal!

Buffet at Swiss Garden Resort

Lovena, Me, My cousins, My Aunt & Yan Yan.

Teluk Cempedak

A must go place in Kuantan - Teluk Cempedak. Wow~The beach is so beautiful!

Headed to Sungai Lembing in the afternoon.

Welcome to Sungai Lembing.

A brief history about Sungai Lembing:
Sungai Lembing was one of the largest tin (bijih timah) production in Pahang. There was a British village named Lembah Sungai Kenau in this place.

There's a Rainbow Waterfall and a Crystal House at Sungai Lembing as well. But we didn't get to visit those places.

Visited Sungai Lembing Museum. This museum was once a residential place of a British Gabenor.

Lombong bijih timah

Sungai Lembing Hanging Bridge

Sungai Lembing was indeed a very 'ulu' place. Very kampung..However, I kinda liked this place. Very peaceful & harmony. And the people there are very friendly!


And this really caught our attention
.
.

The only Petrol Kiosk at Sungai Lembing.

Remember to pump up your vehicle's oil tang before Sunday coz this petrol kiosk is CLOSE on Sunday.

Gua Charas. Located not far away from Sungai Lembing.

Sleeping Buddha in the cave.

There wasn't much special food in Kuantan. Mostly Malay food. This is because the population in Kuantan were mostly Malays.

林明面(Lin Ming Mian) can only be found at Sungai Lembing.

That ends the Kuantan Trip.


#2: Klang, Selangor.

Say Goodbye to Kuantan!! We then traveled west to Klang to meet up with Jie Ying. It takes another 5 hours to reach Klang!


Must Eat Food in Klang - Bak Kut Teh.

Yeah!! I've finally tasted Klang Bak Kut Teh! Bak Kut Teh Mission Accomplish!! Klang Bak Kut Teh was really NICE! Thumbs Up! Tried Dry Bak Kut Teh as well, yum yum~


Dropped by a temple at Klang.

Had Bar BQ Plaza before we left Klang.

We were overjoyed when we found out that Bar BQ Plaza had a branch at Klang. Miss it so much~

Jie Ying then joined us for the trip and we headed north to find Junne...


[To be continued...]
That was Close!
Haven't been blogging recently coz I was On Vacation!

Just came back from a 2 weeks adventerous trips with my coursemates...

It was really FUN as we get to stop from place to place and explore those interesting places and nice food there! A very good and memorable experience after all. Will share more on my trips in my coming post....

Arrived at Muar at 5am yesterday morning and I have to start working as a part-time promoter on the same day itself at 12pm!! Sounds kinda crazy right? Really play till 'gao-gao' already baru willing to come back to work! Hehehe...

However, something unfortunate happened this morning as I was on the way to work. I was driving my scooter and stopped at the junction waiting for the traffic light. As the traffic light turns green, I accelerated my scooter and headed straight while this red Proton Savvy who wanted to turn left CRASH on my scooter.

WHAT THE HELL!!! Is this driver blind??? He/She totally ignore my existence and just make a turn without even bothered I was just right in front of him/her?

Thank God I managed to balance well and didn't slipped on the ground! At the moment when the traffic light turn green, every vehicle will accelerate up to its highest speed to escape from waiting. I wouldn't dare to image what will happen to me if I slipped and fell on the ground that time. I would have been crash to death or might mati ditumbang by my own scooter!!

Phew..That was Close!

Thank God I still survived and wasn't hurt! Really give me a heart attack!

And this is the crashing result of my precious bluey scooter

The blue plastic part to cover the engine was gone!!

Pre-Study Week Trip
This entry had stayed in the draft of my post for weeks! Argh~I was being very patient in uploading the photos and was feeling very frustrated with Blogger's photo uploader and WifiUTM! It really spoiled my mood to blog!

Okok..it's time to cool down. After so much frustration, I still managed to post this entry and shared my trip. Hehehe...

What is Pre-Study Week Trip all about?

Organizing a trip at the end of every semester has became a culture and our mission, I think. Although we still have projects and presentations coming up, we were able to put all those projects aside and organize a short distance trip to relax, refresh and recharge ourselves b4 the battle starts!

3 of my very noisy and 'tam-chiak' course-mates followed me back to Muar b4 study week starts. Felt like I was qualified to be the tour guide for my hometown as I brought them Jalan-jalan Cari Makan! Hahaha...

Tanjung

Although Muar doesn't have many places to go, Tanjung is certainly a nice place to hang out. It is a suitable place for recreation. Take a stroll along Muar River and enjoy the breeze. Surprisingly, a place like Tanjung wasn't easy to be found in other places.

Huge Durian Statue

Monkeys berkeliaran at Tanjung

Being a Muarian, those monkeys at Tanjung were simply wild and scary to me. I won't even bothered to stay and look at it! However, to my surprise again, my course-mates were very excited as they see these huge crowd of monkeys 'berkeliaran' everywhere! I guess this is one of the attraction at Tanjung ya...So, remember to bring your friends to this 'tourist spot' whenever they come to Muar!

Yong Sheng Confectionery


Brought my course-mates to Yong Sheng Confectionery to buy some local products. This newly-opened Yong Sheng located at Bakri is as grand as a hotel and a good place to buy gifts. Everything there was so tasty and you wish you can buy all!

Besides, there are Cafe everywhere in Muar, especially at town area. Most of the cafe are well-decorated with nice ambient. Most importantly, the price of drinks and foods of these cafe are reasonable.

Muar, is a place for good food! Never miss to try otah, pork satay, O-chien, ikan bakar, asam fish and many other food if you are in Muar.

The following day

Heading to Melaka

Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball @ Jonker Street


Nadeje Patisserie Cafe @ Dataran Pahlawan

Jalan-jalan @ Dataran Pahlawan's Padang


A-Famosa

Christ Church & The Windmill


Later at night...

Satay Celup @ Ban Lee Xiang

This ends the low-budget and enjoyable + relaxing trip before the final exam...

Together with Alice in the Wonderland
Finally finish watching this Singapore series 'Together', and this rhythm that we used to sing when we were young comes in to my mind naturally...

The more we get together, together, together
the more we get together, the happier we'll be
‘Cause your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends
The more we get together the happier we'll be...

Does this song sounds familiar to you?


A worth watching series. I like the plot and the value of the series. Very interesting story that you'll surely follow until the end of the series.

Life is indeed unpredictable and sometimes, we really don't have choice for it. As time goes by, the people that you've grow up together with, will have their own destiny.

Time will change. The taste may be the same, but the people are not the same anymore.

Another must watch movie of the year - Alice in the Wonderland.

The 2010 version of Alice in the Wonderland was different from the Walt Disney's version of Alice in the Wonderland in 1951. I love the effect of the show so much. So real, so magical! Wonderland is certainly another different world with lotz of surprising characters and events!

Wanted to watch it in 3D so much but then not a single 3D cinema is available in the city of Johor Bahru! Kinda regret for not watching Avatar in 3D and I hope I won't miss the chance to watch Alice in the Wonderland in 3D again.

Prosperous Tiger Year
Haven't been updating my blog frequently. I'm just to lazy & busy 2 do so! Hehehe..

Alright, gonna share what I've been doing throughout CNY. It was indeed a FUN & PROSPEROUS year! Managed to spend sufficient time with my family & friends and of coz didn't miss out those must eat food during CNY. Hahaha...

Decorated my house with cherry blossom


Made popiah, almond, butter cookies and Kek Batik.

CNY is a good time to gather with friends coz everyone is around!

Form 5 classmates house visitation

Visited our beloved teachers

Something special this year. Had sumptuous reunion dinner with my old classmates. It's good to have friends who had started working coz they certainly won't get to escape from the 'belanja' game.

Was treated with a sumptuous dinner. Thx Cher Soon for the treat!

Form 6 classmates gathering & house visitation

Act cute photo session


Managed to meet up with a few of my nearly-lost-contact Form 6 classmates (Cher Chong, Siau Chong & Boon Shen). Haven't got the chance to meet up with them after Form 6.

Make a trip to Melaka and we really had a good time of fellowship. Gathered and talked about those old days during school time was s fun and it really helps us to recall so much memories~

Melaka Trip

That will be all for CNY...

Back to the reality now...

Just realized that I only left 3 weeks b4 tis semester ends! The Long Sem-break is coming again & I am so excited!!! Looking forward 4 the adventurous trip I'm planning for this sem-break..

However, I need to complete all my tasks & final projects b4 welcoming the sem-break. Let's face it!

Chinese New Year Mood
Wow~ Have you realized that today is Chinese New Year Eve?

How time flies isn't it? The day that we've been looking forward to has finally come! Looking forward to holidays, gathering with family & friends and celebrating CNY.

Look what I've done while counting down to CNY...

Decoration at my hostel

Got this cute decoration pasted on the door at my hostel room a month ago b4 CNY. Thanks to my neighbors from KDSE for decorating this for me. They are making me so into CNY mood ever since that time. Started listening to CNY songs and counting down to CNY.

Steamboat Reunion Dinner

Steamboat Reunion Dinner with my course-mates. I think it has become a culture for us to organize a reunion dinner b4 CNY. We simply loves to organize this kind of event as we get to eat and have fun at the same time!

Lion Dance with vegetables? Hehehe...

CNY Decorations @ DSI

Harmony Pavillion

Attended Xin Chun Event at UTM. Frankly speaking, the celebration this year was quite disappointing. The event wasn't properly organized and the decorations was quite dull compared to last year.

Waited almost 2 hours for the opening ceremony. The sound system wasn't clear at the beginning of the show and the overall programs were not as good as expected. However, some of the performances like 象声(xiang sheng) and the drama entitled 'CindeRiama' performed by my course-mate, Max, was good!


Mouse-like tiger

Since this year is the year of TIGER, the tiger decorations can easily be found everywhere. However, some tiger decorations makes the tiger loses it's identity!

This was the so called tiger @ Sutera Mall, JB. The whiskers and the sharp mouth is making this tiger looks more like a mouse than a tiger to me. There are some tigers that looks more like cats! Since when the fierce tiger became so tame? Hahaha..

Bride Wars

Watched this movie recently and found it very meaningful. A romantic comedy that brings out the value of friendship. A story about two best friends that turns out to become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. Does it worth to treat your best friend in such a manner? Watch it to know what's all about.

A significant quote at the end of this movie:

"Sometimes in life, there really are bonds formed that can never be broken.
Sometimes, you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what.
Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding.
But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime,
the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.”


I totally agreed with this quote. Cherish the people around you and cherish the ONE person who's always there by your side. It's a BLESSING to have that person in your life!


HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!
