The First(s) In My Life

4th May-The first day we reached the southern part of Malacca by the name of Jasin; despite it is located in a remote area and yet is full of tranquility.

13th May-A 'special day’of me and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers throughout the world, of course the most memorable'dark day’for Malaysians that we so-called “DARURAT”

A number of students were celebrating the big day for me, their appearance touched me deeply. There was a pleasing sense of happiness for me and now I could still remember vividly in my mind.

16th May-The entire schools in Malaysia were celebrating the teacher’s day. This school is quite unique comparatively with the others because of its equally distribution of 3 main races which is made up of MCI besides the one and the only one special nationality that is Portuguese. As the year before, the school arranged a variety of activities such as gift-exchange, sports, martial arts, ‘joget’, singing, folk dance etc…

I was one of the performers of the day singing 2/3 solos on behalf of my colleagues on the stage. Huh, I have some fans right now man!! Hee..hee! I'm contented not due to the environment but the principals and the teachers there who are hospitality and have a sense of humor as well. Excellent!

26th May-A couple weeks of school holiday is started. My friends and I chose to have a 3days 2nights trip to National Park that we’ve planned formerly. There was a horrible occurrence happened just before we reached the chalet. 9 of us almost fainted and feel like to vomit all the way along a zigzag as well as a bumpy road (the situation lasted for an hour long). Terrible, horrible and vegetable indeed!! It is much worse than the road at Cameron Highland and Genting Highland. You guys must go and adventure yourself, let’s have a try! FUN!

1st day- late at 11pm hunting deep into the jungle. We stopped our pace and listened to the nature orchestra. Wow, full of excitement! Hah while everyone was deeply asleep, there was one of my roommates awake and heard as if there were the footsteps of the wild boar roaming around our room, ridiculous indeed.

2nd day-continue to have our jungle trekking, canopy walk (well-known for longest in the world) and a few hundred meters to the peak of hill…Luckily my stamina supported me to the top of Bukit Terisek. Lastly it came to the part that I’ve waited for so longboat shooting, whoever on the boat for sure will be drenched from top to toe…We all SYIOK-SYIOK SENDIRI, drenched—screamed—revenge to each other—drenched again!! We visited the primitive lodging with a whole-body wet. What I would be able to notice was 99% of the visitors are drenched thoroughly. I was wondering if those natives will take for granted that the people like us always in BBB look?! BBB stands for BASAH-BASAH BELAKA! :S

3a.m- the moment that full of thrills and spills that 4 of us fishing on the river bank very early in the morning. It was so frenzy! We traveled by motorboat along the river where it is surrounded by the jungle. The inky darkness of a moonless night made us tremble with fear yet excited. We did enjoy the scenery and the night view, though it's not really can be seen but u definitely could feel it with your peaceful soul.

3rd day- The slippery track caused me to fall down and my pants were covered in mud. A few hundred meters distance to reach the second last view of our trip, Gua Telinga. Again, it was the first-time experience to crawl along the stony cave. In the midst of it, you could see (with torchlight) a thousand of bats are hanging on the cave right above you (the distance is estimated 30cm from your head), if you’re good luck enough, you’d probably see some snakes accompany the bats there, I think I’m the lucky one! Fortunately the leech didn’t turn up for my entire trip.

It is a wonderful and suitable place to spend your holiday. We truly enjoy ourselves and somehow my friends and I realized that we were entirely free from trouble and worry during the trip. Now, we are heading for our next destination as our impending vacation. My Happy Holidays…Yahoo!

The End Is Near

Hmm…I’ve been missing this blog for a number of days. These few days I've been preparing for the last but not least exam paper. Meanwhile, I was busy packing up all the stuffs as I’m soon to leave my campus for my practical that lasts for 3 months long. Counting from now onwards it’s less than 24 hours to go. As a result, I’d probably leave this blog for a particular period as well. Gotta miss my friends, college-mates, lecturers, the conducive environment and my special corner for various activities :p . Lovely kiss and good bye…Not going to write any longer for this moment…make it as the shortest one…keke. Perhaps, you’ll see me in the next post with some updates of my life in Malacca and even more! Do light up the day with a smile
Have a nice day, my friend!

寻房记

数日前本人与一位系友到马六甲寻找房子。原先预定的房子听闻已被人家捷足先登了!有鉴于此,咱们唯有亲自出马盼能尽快解决纠缠多日之烦恼。带着疲惫的身躯于凌晨时分启程,事关前一天刚结束最后第二张试卷,于是大家约定考完试后到某处吃喝玩乐去。难得大伙儿聚集一堂,谈天说地,东西南北的畅谈没完没了,有点流连忘返的感觉,回到宿舍已是夜深人静的时刻。


大约近四小时的路程方能抵达目的地。这儿便是我们即将进行实习的地方,小镇我来也!好不容易到达第一站,那儿的房东待人处事无可奉告。。。只带着走马看花的心态,马马虎虎地观望了几眼,三十六计走为上计。

毕竟人生地不熟,想找个合适及中意的房子谈何容易。此时此刻只好碰碰运气了,再次联络上之前房子已出租的房东,我们约个地点会面。在艳阳高照下,我与系友汗流浃背地一步步穿梭陌生的街道。终于皇天不负苦心人,好不容易找到一个落脚之处,真是得来全不费工夫啊!承蒙老天爷成全!

这位房东与其太太为人随和,同时更尽足地主之谊邀咱们俩吃个家常便饭,招待甚为周到。这一餐虽普普通通,但背后的意义却很深重。它让我感受到在这尔欺吾诈,功利主义社会的另一端乃有人情味的存在。感动的心情非笔墨能形容,更何况仅有一面之缘,可谓难能可贵。这不是夸张式的用语,它的确是城市人遥不可及的。但愿人间处处有温情的所在。但愿。。但愿如此!


任务成功!!

Sharing

The first day of my final exam was started with the light and easy subject that I like the most, the Korean. Right after the test, I took my breakfast instantly (have been starving an hour ago).Hehe…Generally I have no appetite to take much food very early in the morning. However I would definitely not skip the breakfast with merely my empty stomach though.

The end of the Korean lecture (the final lecture throughout 4 years of life in the campus)

The next destination was my carrel room, spend most of my time there to have a nap, studying, surfing net and even eating but rarely to do so since it is strictly forbidden, shhh…!. I don’t mind to stay under an extraordinary low temperature where your limbs would probably be frozen rather than a stuffy room at the hostel especially in the afternoon. The moment I stepped into the room, a lecturer cum a supervisor of the demonstrators/tutors called me up for a sharing session with her supervisor from U.K. Since I’m one of the demonstrators out there, I have no any other choices but to attend for it (not so reluctantly la). In fact, it’s the golden opportunity to meet a professional from overseas, furthermore he is my supervisor’s supervisor = super supervisor (sounds peculiar! :-p).

A pretty arrangement in sequence of order!! Fond remembrance!
A shot with Scottish professor and DR.Isthri, my supervisor

The seminar took about an hour to come to an end. A meaningful sharing which was very pleasing to all of us! Yeah~ finally this is my desired session when we are being served with some refreshment, yummy! Feel so good! Hah, the second helping for my breakfast of the day! Look forward to have the session again. Right here waiting for it to come…^_^

Chinese Or Malaysian?

Few days ago after the Korean lecture, as usual I’d have my lunch at the nearby café where it will be loaded with foreign students now and then. There was a girl sitting right in front of me with a good, fair complexion and of course the lure of beauty attracted me to set my sights on her. By the way, she is a Muslim as she wore the “tudung” covered all around her head. The questions popped up in my mind “Is she Iran?”, “Is she Chinese or Malay?” and etc.

While I was thinking, I’ve caught her gazing at me for times…”Am I annoyed or frustrated her”, I asked myself repeatedly. By the time she was about to leave, this was the right time that I could have a closer look at her…keke. I plugged up my courage to have a glance for this belle clearly. Somehow she smiled to me and that’s how our conversation going on. She commenced by asking my nationality; anyway I would be able to guess at her answer. She addressed that my appearance seem rather more like a Chinese than as a Malaysian. Basically, she is not the only person to state so. In fact, she is a postgraduate from China taking the equivalent course as I do. Such a coincident man! Now only I realized there are quite a number of students from China in my campus as well.

The most possibility for the ‘Chinese-effect’ could be the types of complexion or just simply due to the significant shape of the face (standardized in China especially). For me I’d rather choose the latter one instead…:p It’s hardly to find the ‘standardized- Chinese-face’ among my friends and even relatives as I can dictate!! Except one of my cousin who is in U.S for the time being, we really look alike :)

Either to be a Chinese or a Malaysian is not a big deal; the nationality means to distinguish the people of geographical distribution throughout the world. The most vital part in my life is to being myself…live with no regret, try to get rid of sorrow and on top of that is to give life a moment of joyous!!

New born of myblog

This is the first blog of mine that I have ever written so far. Let me begin by telling you more of me… I’m talkative and extroverted (in terms of socializing) , however I love serenity whenever I need a place to refresh my mind after a pile of work or even having ups and downs once in a while, it’s human’s nature throughout the life, isn’t it?

It’s no longer for me to experience the student life which will end soon; in fact it’s less than 2 months counting from now onwards. I’m wondering what should I contemplate to be once I’ve graduated. It gonna be a new phase in my life. There are 2 options actually for me to choose, either to pursue my degree or to get into the midst of a long career…otherwise as one of my friends said there’s a 3rd probability which is to get marry loh…haha! Regarding to this, definitely I would say ‘no’ for the time being.. hehe. Time would prove itself when it’s at the right time as well as the right place. It’s all in how you look at it!

Despite one’s counsel could be as reference, the final decision is on my own, though. It’s hard to reach a consensus as points of difference exist. Hence, it’s time for me to learn how to give and take in order to compromise especially to those whom I am at most concern. However, that is another story.

Being a demo since last semester, I’ve found the contentment and derived great pleasure from it as well. Thus it has more or less induced me to change my mindset that teaching is just monotonous and lifeless. On the contrary, it could be interesting provided you have the passion and willing to put in your hard effort. So fundamentally, life could be anything we want. If you think you can, you CAN!! That’s how people used to impact others and so will I.

-To be continued-


A Trip To Hanguk

Suddenly think of sharing a memorable trip to Korea at the end of last year. It was the first time that i had ever been to journey into far regions. I went with my aunt and a cousin since my parents were occupying with their affairs. What a waste!! Sigh...Anyhow, my parents have promised to travel abroad with me once I’ve accomplished my studies. Would it come true? Hopefully (my dear) will keep their promise

All right! Here we go. Firstly it took about nearly 5 hours to reach the Incheon International Airport. It was 6:00am early in the morning. The temperature was about 2 degree Celsius, somehow contrary to my expectation. The eight-day-trip brought back sweet memories. The only drawback was a few kilos’ luggage which being transferred from time to time for different locations. Luckily, the pleasant cool at the moment made me quite comfortable; it didn’t seem to be a burden for me to carry two pieces of luggage all the way.

Not long ago, I caught up in the Korean ancient drama entitled “Dae Jang Guem”. The story line was about the concubines of an emperor who strive desperately for fame and wealth. I’ve never thought of visiting a place such as the scene of the play where our first destination was located, the king’s palace. As I fairly go in for photography, for sure the digi-cam would be following me wherever I go. Finally I realized that I’ve used up 4 memory sticks with the capacity of 4GB in the sum throughout the trip. Hah, probably u guys might think that there’s gonna be some thousand of pictures I’ve taken at that moment huh?!

Up to now, I still remember vividly one of the places we have been to. The second flight we took was approximately 45 minutes to reach the destination. It is an extraordinary island namely ‘JejuDo’ in Korean. The Jeju Island is very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the United State. The courier once told us it is one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. By the way, there were three Malaysian newly married couples during the trip, sounds great man!! I’m wondering…if there is an opportunity to travel there again, I wish I may go with my beloved instead haha…(the word “may” implies the uncertainty of me to get one and still I am)

Back to here again, I would like to say the Korean food is much more different as compared to a local flavor, cuisine and the like. At first, I was very longing for “KIMCHI” indeed. Among those Korean foods, it is top on my list of priorities. Though it tasted good and yet I gave up eventually. Can u imagine each meal will be served with “KIMCHI” as side dishes (in fact it’s the main course for the Korean). Don’t ever think that the chili sauce must be spicy all the time. As far as I know, the Koreans do not seem like the Malaysians to have a strong taste in their food.

In the meantime, I will never forget to mention the experience of skiing. At one point there was an expertise knocked me down without my notice. At that time, I was learning to skate over the ice….Oh no!! I was incredibly helpless at then. Hoping that the ‘gentleman’ (expertise) would gave me his hand, but he just sneaked away instead. I had a terrible pain after the incident. Despite the pain, my passion for skiing will never subside. Finally, I’ve mastered the skill of skiing and skated as much as 15 times continuously. Isn’t it fun? For me absolutely YES!! Hmm…Think of going there once again. My Wonderful Trip!! (HANGUK RE CHOAHEYO!!)
