The Journey Begins

No more home sweet home, it's time to get back to the reality....

I have never enjoyed holiday so much like this before. Not that i visited a lot of places, in fact, i barely stepped out of my house. So what have i been doing? Well, doing things that do not require any brain activity like watching movies, playing fb games or dota, improving my piano skill and etc. The feeling is kinda like hiding in a peace haven where outside world is no longer our business and the only concern is to decide what to eat for next meal. Sigh, don't know when will i have the opportunity to do so again.

Eaten all my favorite local food (except banana leaf rice, sob sob....), met up with some of my close friends, sent my brother off to subang for college, took a family portrait, bought a few new gadgets and clothes.....wow, quite an accomplishment! Haha!

Tomorrow i will be taking a bus down to LCCT all alone, sob sob...... Next station will be Gold Coast, Australia. Woo, can't wait to visit all the theme parks and get a nice sun tanning at the beach! Just hope the aussie custom won't turn my luggage upside down and kacao kacao.

Last vacation before the school starts, so gonna enjoy it to the max!

2009, What A Year!

It's a year full with turbulence and challenges, a year spent in foreign land and a year that make me realize beautiful things actually are just sitting by our sides.

At the beginning of 2009. i was busy preparing myself, both physically and mentally for education abroad. Of course things didn't turned up as smoothly as i wished to be, but i must be grateful that nothing disastrous fall upon me.

Now reaching the end of 2009, i can't help but to flash back all the significant and memorable moment which had occurred. If only i could capture and compile all these memories into a movie and share it with those who sincerely care for me. Hopefully lessons learned this year could be applied for next year and mistakes done will not be repeated forever.

Next year will be a critical year, time shall not be wasted on unnecessary agendas. The amount of energy and effort needed is beyond my imagination, all i can do is to focus and stay on path at all time. I guess this new year resolution might be as thick as dictionary then.

Ready for 2010? Hell yea, bring it on!

Family Portrait (Behind the Scene)

Finally our family had our first proper family portrait taken from the studio, all we needed to pay was just RM80. Yea, it was cheap and we were pretty happy with the outcome.

This package included hairdo, make up, dress/coat and 6 pieces of 4R size photos. However the make up and hairdo took approximately 2 hours for the 3 ladies in my family. What did we XY do? Nothing except to wait patiently.....

Before i reveal our official family portrait, let's see a few 'behind the scene' pictures. In conclusion, it is really fun.

Gentlemen of the family.....waiting indefinitely for the ladies to prep themselves

Me and my siblings, getting ready before the photoshooting starts

Mummy was so excited to put on 'wedding dress' again after 2 decades plus

Shopping Spree

Just came back from KL after 3 days of shopping spree, feeling so guilty..... at least gotta show it in front of my parents who pay for my credit card bills, haha!

Items that i got from these few days:

a) Laptop - brandless but good performance specs

b) Bluetooth stereo - original sony erricsson's product but cannot tune into radio

c) Stethoscope - classic littmann with navy blue colour

At the same time, i met up with the 2 aucklander who just came back from the kiwiland and never stopped complaining about the boiling temperature in KL.

Forever Young

Scenario 1:

Went out for lunch with my dad and brother, joined by my dad's friend, Mr. A.

Mr. A: Oh, where are you studying?
Me: Studying university at overseas.
Mr. A: *amazed* how old are you? 15 or 16?

(I instantly burst into laughter and my brother gave me the jaw-dropping shocking look, because i looked younger than him, muahaha.....)

Scenario 2:

Went to the optician to fix my spectacles and get new sets of contact lens, accompanied by my mum.

Salesgirl: Are you working or studying?
Me: Studying.
Salesgirl: High school?
Mum: Haha, you wish, he is 20+ years old already.
Salesgirl: *amazed* unbelievable, he still has the baby face look.

(I turned to my mum and rolled my eyes)


Wish i could have this anti ageing ability till i reach middle age, it would be so cool!

Random Pictures from Handphone

Before i left Christchurch, i went to New Brighton's beach. This is the pier. Many old uncles and aunties sitting at the end to fish. The wind was strong and chilly, i couldn't stay there for too long because i didn't wear enough warm clothes. The sand was quite fine so it was quite comfortable to walk barefooted.

Piha Beach in Auckland is still the best beach i ever visited in NZ.

Kia ora is a very common Maori term used in NZ, it simply means hello. Luckily we don't have to learn the entire language to study in NZ, however we still need to learn its culture and do some assignment, and the worst thing is, next year there will be a Maori OSCE, sigh.... i like to learn other cultures, but not when it is under pressure.

On my cycling journey back to city centre, i spotted this road sign so instantly stopped and took a snap.

Manuka honey (except the last white bottle), my souvenirs for my family. I don't know what's so special about it, the only thing i know is the price difference. The bottle at the left costs $18, whereas the white one only costs $2. Will i grow stronger if i have a tinge of it? Should try that later, hehe....

This is the guest room of my house, but i'm sleeping in it. Pretty sad, right? Ever since i studied in kl, my brother has 'colonized' my room as if i was exiled from this house, sob sob.... Never mind, i shall grab it back one day it the future!

And finally, the real picture of this annoying creature. You will know the whole story if you read my previous post. Well, the good thing is that i slowly adapting to its noise, but i still can't sleep later than 8am, i miss waking up late and have brunch while watching a silly movie.

Cursing the rooster to have recurrent nerve paralysis, laryngitis, epiglotitis, pharynx obstruction, #$@%

Morning Revival

Greetings to everyone from my home sweet home!

It's so nice to be back at home, seeing all the people i love and eating all the food i crave. Hope i wouldn't be a big fat boy by the time i leave, hehe!



Anyway, it's 6.30am and i'm sitting in front of the computer fb-ing and typing this post. Why? Thanks to the annoying wild roosters that my neighbour rears, that crow hysterically every 5 o'clock in the morning. That's not the end, these 2 damn cocks will continuously fulfilling their duty of breaking the dawn every 10 minutes, alternately. Gosh, please have mercy on a light sleeper like me....

Feel like just go over and tear their vocal cords apart! *roar*

How about my family members? Poor thing, they already desensitized by the noise, sigh... Hope i can acquire that ability soon.
