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 !!!


January in UTM
Felt like I just countdown for 2010 few days ago and now is already February!

Where has January gone to??


#1: Make an adventurous trip to Pasir Gudang.

Johore Port @ Pasir Gudang

Lovena's car had finally arrived in Johor. Wuhoo~waited for the arrival of her car since last semester. No wonder we were so excited to drove her car back all the way from Johore Port!

What makes me even more excited is that I don't have to drive motor in campus and get to avoid from being expose myself into the damn HOT sun that it tanning me!

The port looks exactly like those scene we watched in Hong Kong action movies or dramas. The scene where they jump from one container to another, shooting here and there!! I think I'd watched too much movie and imagining too much! Hahaha...

*******

#2: Prosperous Lunch with Prosperity Burger


The Prosperity Burger is back!! We definitely won't miss a chance to grab it cause it was available for limited time only. It would be your favorite burger if you love pepper and onions.

Since Chinese New Year is just around the corner, don't miss out the Prosperity Burger as it's gonna make you Prosperous...HUAT ar!!

*******

#3: Election in UTM

The whole uni was busy for the election last month. Since my course-mate was one of the faculty candidate, he requested us to help him out. Never thought that I'll get involved in this kind of activity and it turns out to be quite fun.

The bunch of our course-mates offered our help by folding the brochures, folding posters, staple it onto the strings, etc. Really need a lot of manpower to do all these minor stuffs. With the cooperation of our course-mates, we managed to get things done in a more efficient manner.

Posters hanging around everywhere in the faculty.
Does this looks like the road that leads to HELL??

#4: Sushi Buffet @ SOSAKU Nihon Restaurant

Managed to dine-in @ Sosaku Nihon Restaurant on the last day of the promotion! Phew~ Don't wanna miss it coz I seriously don't know when is the next promotion. This special promotion was only available for teachers and students and it costs only RM29 per person.

Order as much as you want from the menu.

I love this buffet style sushi as you can eat as much as you want. Really get to 'makan secukup-cukupnya' as you don't need to worry about the expensive bills! RM 29 of lunch can make you so FULL that eventually last you until dinner and breakfast for the following day. Hahaha...

Sashimi boat, Takoyaki, Scallop...Just to show a few.

Don't forget to try the peach flavor ice-cream. It's really nice~

I love Sosaku! Looking forward for the next promotion.

Starting of Sem 4
It's Christmas Eve & I'm back 2 hometown once again! Realized that I haven't been updating my blog for weeks coz I've too many pictures & I'm just too lazy to organize it!

Started my new semester 2 weeks ago. Felt kinda unfair coz other Uni haven't start their new semester and yet we're back to campus ady! Sienz....

OK, no more complains! Uni life is FUN anyway and I'm glad to be with my friends in campus. Better cherish the time together b4 we graduate.

Btw, I've been kinda busy for the past few weeks! Busy settling down & busy wandering around I guess. Hehehe...

Celebrated Dong Zhi Festival in campus last 2 days and we make Tang Yuan with all sort of ingredients! No harm trying new flavor right?

New flavor of Tang Yuan with chocolate, raisins, peanut butter, gua zi & peanut.

Done! Looks at all our hands~It's the evidence of hard work..

Ready to cook! Does these Tang Yuan looks like fish balls? Hehehe...

Cook the Tang Yuan separately from the sweet soup so that the soup won't be 'polluted'!

Tang Yuan with different flavor is served in a short while! The sweet soup with only pandan leaves & ginger is tasty! It would be tastier if we added gula Melaka in it!

Every ball is a surprise with different ingredient in it! Surprisingly, the Tang Yuan wrapped with peanut is so NICE! Taste a bit crunchy, sweet & salty at the same time. We ended up eating quite a lot of Tang Yuan just to try our luck to get the flavor we want. Coz those Tang Yuan were all mixed up and we couldn't differentiate which is which! Hahaha...It's fun after all~

Watched 2 GOOD movies recently. I think GREAT would be a better description. Really worth watching..

The Princess & the Frog. The show that I've been waiting for so long. I'm loving this show so much..it's so magical. I love the traditional ways of drawing compared with 3D animation. Brings me back to my childhood time with Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid and other Disney movies. With the princess story & the happily ever after ending!

Be careful what You kissed for. This wasn't The Frog Prince story we used to heard since young.

Another great show, Avatar. Wow~I was so amazed by the world of Avatar. It's too beautiful & I really don't know how 2 describe it! A very exciting Sci-Fi movie. I think the movie in 3D would give a better effect. How I wish I could watch in 3D.

Make a trip to Singapore with my coursemates & family...

With coursemates @ Bugis.

With family @ Orchard

More pictures on my Singapore Trip in my coming post...
Season Finale of Sem 3
Yeah!! I'm finally back home! Felt like I haven't been home 4 so long although it was only a month since I last came back. Felt so relief!

A little shocked when I saw this Halloween Ghost decoration at home. It was my younger brother that came out with these decoration. So 'bersemangat' to celebrate Halloween.

Halloween Ghost decoration. Thanks to my creative brother that make those Halloween Ghost with tissue paper.

Finished my final exam last Wednesday, but have to stay back for Computer Graphics Final Project presentation, which burdens me a lot. Really had a hard time for the past few days, been struggling a lot coz I don't really how what am I suppose to do!

The most frustrating part is : When others were spending so much effort doing their project and you were stuck there, lost in no where, don't know what to do. However, what comfort me was that I'm not the only one in this situation...

I'd finally come out with something out of nothing. At least got something to present. Suddenly had the idea of drawing a tower, get the idea of this tower from the Taming Sari Tower in Malacca.

Does it looks like a tower in the outer space??

The presentation day was making us frustrated too. We were required to run our program using the computer in the lab(which is not well-equipped with the program we need to use) instead of using our own laptop. Need to make lots of setting and installation in order to run the program. But in the end, the presentation day was so much better then what I'd imaging. Most of us get to present our project successfully. We'd finally make it through.

In difficult times, this Bible verse always encourage me.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. "


In the midst of final exams last 2 weeks and the schedule was kinda pack! 6 Papers + 1 online exam. However, there are some 'weird' things that we'll only do during examination time. For this time, we're so addicted in playing games!

The new version of Zuma - Zuma's Revenge, which me & my course-mates was so addicted to it during exam period.

They are blaming me for this 'addiction' coz I'm the one that supply this game to them!

Excuse Me, this wasn't my fault ok?? They are the one that come and get the game from me!!! Hahaha....Visit my neighbour next door and next next door and found them all playing Zuma! I guess this is a form of escapism and a way to release stress! No doubt this newer version of Zuma was more fun as it has more functions than the older version.

I did had fun besides the busy schedule. Played bowling together with my cell group members @ Skudai Parade.

Bowling @ Skudai Parade with CG members.

10 bowling shoes represents the 10 of us.

It was my first time playing bowling and it was FUN. Although the bowling ball keep on falls into the 'longkak' at first, but I managed to hit the pins after trying a few times. And guess what, I managed to strike all the bowling pins for the first time. Wuhoo~~It was a great achievement for me.

It has come to the end of 3rd Semester. Looking forward to my Kuching Trip coming Friday. Had been planning for it since the beginning of the year. The time has finally come.....
A Dinner to Evaluate You
Took Penampilan Diri & Etika Sosial 4 my co-curriculum this semester. I expect to learn more 4 this co-cu, but in the end, it was out of my expectation.

We only learned some theories(i.e. how to greet others, attire for formal & informal function, table manners..), nothing much.

In order to evaluate us, we had to attend a formal dinner, that covers 30% for the overall course, just to apply what we'd learned in theory.


In Baju Kebaya. Before heading to the dinner.

Together with Lovena, in her blue Punjabi suit.

Thank Lovena & Chai May 4 styling my hair. Not forgetting KeXin also(don't have a picture together with her), thank her 4 doing the make-up for me.

The dinner was held last thursday, at Dewan Jamuan UTM. It was a buffet dinner.

Everyone in the dining hall was so quite. Looking so tense..so well-behave, trying so hard to pretend!

First time in my life, I ever felt so uncomfatable to had a dinner. Super Un-natural instead of Supernatural. Felt so lost!! Suddenly don't know how to eat, like a baby. Have 2 start learning everything from the beginning.

So many restrcitions. Need to behave well, jaga image, jaga our table manners, need 2 use napkin. So leceh, so troublesome to had a proper meal.

Us, in formal attire.

Foreign students from China.

Foreign students from Africa, if not mistaken.

Together with our humorous lecturer, En. Jais.

The Emperor & his concubines??

When the evaluation was over, the whole atmosphere changed! Everyone was so relax & relief. A Malay girl sat opposite me immediately roll up her sleeves and said: 'Makan dengan tangan saja lar'!! Hahaha...

Now you can see the true colours of everyone.

Just came back from Singapore yesterday. Attended a concert at Marina Bay. Will update more in my coming post. So difficult to on-line recently, totally can't detect WifiUTM.

In the midst of study week now. Finals is coming, but I'm still not in the mood to study! Struggling hard to FOCUS, FOCUS & FOCUS....
No longer Miss
During OOP class last 2 weeks, our lecturer, Miss Zuraifah announced that it would be the last lesson we could call her Miss. Huh?? The whole class was wondering why. Is she leaving??

Right after that, she announced that she's getting married and invited us to her wedding ceremony. WuHoo~1st wedding I'd even attended in UTM.

Today is the day. Attended Miss Zuraifah's wedding ceremony @ Rumah Alumni in UTM.




Our sweet & pretty lecturer.

Raja Sehari

Did u realised that this is a bunch of bunga telur?

Cake cutting ceremony

Group photo with Raja Sehari. Waited patiently throughout the ceremony for this moment.


It was quite a grand Malay wedding I'd ever attended. I used to attend those Malay wedding at the 'kampung' place, where all the 'jiran' gathered to 'gotong-royong'.

Congratulation Miss! May you have a blissful & happy life after marriage.

At last, I guess me & my coursemates have to remind ourselves to greet our dearest lecturer as Mrs. Zuraifah instead of Miss Zuraifah! She's no longer a Miss.

It's Time to Save Money!!
Realized that I'd been spending too much recently! Spend so much on good food, entertainment, or should I say..spending too much enjoying my life??!!

Had Korean Food at Jang Won Restaurant together with the bunch of my 'forbidden' housemates last thursday. Wonder is it a good thing to have our own transport around? Coz we'd been traveling more and spending more!!

Jang Won Restaurant @ JB Town. Korean BBQ, Steamboat & Appetizer. Yum~yum~Like the ambiance of the restaurant.


Time for group photo. The reflection of the mirror gave us a great help! No one is left out then.

Went for a walk after dinner.

Went to Jusco Tebrau the following day. Planned to sing-k at first, but ended up tak jadi. Sigh..went at the wrong time where school holiday was still on and we didn't reserve a room at RedBox. The rooms were fully booked! Sienz..really spoiled our mood coz we're so semangat to sing-k.

Having lunch @ Pizza Hut, Jusco Tebrau.

Watched Orphan, a horror and thrilling movie. There's really something wrong with this 9 years old girl from the orphanage. What she did was really shocking and cruel. She wasn't as innocent as she was supposed to be and you'll never expect her to do such a thing in her age! However, some of the scary scene in this movie became the favourite topics among my coursemates recently. I guess..horror movie turns out to be a comedy! Hahaha...

What I'd learned from this movie: Don't simply adopt a child from an orphanage coz you don't really know the background of that child. Or else, you might bring disaster to your family!

Before entering the cinema.

Austin Hill Golf Resort, JB.

Just came back from Hebron Presbyterian Church Family Camp @ Austin Hill Golf Resort, JB. This was the 2nd time I went to this resort. I first went there for my course night 6 months ago. Like this place a lot. It was indeed a nice and heart-warming camp. I was so touched to see how God has touch lives and bless people. Will share more about this camp in my coming post when I get more photos..
