Voicing 'em Out!

There are times when you look back and you just dont know who you are anymore cos you changed so much till the extend you think you lost your identity. Reason? Because you let a person in your life. Be it friends or a person you look up to or someone special to you.

Changes can be scary and hard to accept. Especially if you didnt realise how you have changed till someone from the past (sounds old huh) or your close friends or friends pointed it to you and you go , Oh ok! Really? Then you start wandering in what way have you change.

Be the changes good or bad, you decide. If you think you like your older self better, find it back or just continue being happy with the now you. Its how comfortable you feel with yourself that is most important. =)

Nevertheless, if your friends/family are concern about your change, you might want to think about it and do something about it.

I always say your past made who you are today.

You cant change your past, but you can change your future.

Cheers!

Do you have that feeling that you know its going to be the last time (can be a long long time after) you will be at that place or meeting a person and you want to take pictures pictures pictures for memories? Then you prepare your camera and be prepared to take lotsa pictures but in the end, you just want to keep that memory in your head and not letting the camera or the memory card to do the job.

Well this semester is my last semester in Penang. I have no idea when will be my next visit again. Especially to a place I call home. My second home to be exact. A place I felt warmth and comfort. The time I spend at. Kulim. Its not easy to say goodbye to Aunty and Uncle. I didnt want to say Goodbye, its like saying I wont be seeing them anymore.

The front gate, the garden, and the sofa-bed. The things I gonna miss see-ing and of course the company of both Ama and Acha! Q__Q

Since I had ample time and didnt know how to ask for a photoshot with them, I decided to stalk the guardians of the house instead. Namely Pretty, Phantom and Ringo.

Below are the pictures I personally like:

Ipoh trip!

Wow! What to say about this whole trip? Amazing trip with awesome people and yummy finger licking food with the help of annoying voice GPS that doesnt lead us straight to our destination! Somehow, it likes to lead us to highways. XD

Initially I wanted to do a picturelog on Facebook then use the captions to blog cos it takes too much time to upload pictures at two difference places but Facebook is being an ass by not letting me upload anything as usual. Not even one =.=

We spend two days in this town called Ipoh. I had the temptation of staying there longer but I have too much work to catch up on faci-ing. Bleh. Dont want to screw up something I wanted dont I?

This whole trip was attended by 5 crazy food lover. From left in the picture above, me Shan Siew Wilson. Standing at the back is Daniel. We had roles in this trip. Hoho. Sound so managed huh?

We left at about 7am. No jam. Just mysty mountain on the way. The trip started off with us camwhoring next to a nangka tree. If you see the picture below, you can see a stick was poked into the fruit right? Well I didnt do that. It was already like that when we took picture with the poor lil fruit. Sighs.

Our first destination was hotspring! Woot! There was only 3 groups there in the morning. We get to do whatever we want without worrying about our noise disturbing other people. Weeeeeee. Noise pollution here we come! =P

There was 4 things you musnt miss there. The hotspring park, the theraphy park, eggboiling and mountain-water park. Playing with water is really fun! Its been a while.

Relax before and tour around the park getting into the water:

This was really really hot. I just touched the water and I pulled my hand out immediately:

The first batch of eggs was 3/4 boiled while the second batch was fully boiled. I like the 3/4 ones better. Haha.

To call it a day at the hotspring, we snacked on ice-cream bread. Homemade ice-cream! Yum! =))

I was transferring photos from the camera memory card and bumped into these pictures. I didnt realise about them for a long time. Yes, it was this long that I cleared my pictures, finally.

Suddenly I miss the humongous ice-cream we three had in Rome. It was 1.50€ for 2 big scoops and the white cream. Wow! And the ice-cream tasted really really good! Organism

Look at how big they are. And how happy I was. Hehehe.

Sweet toothy sigining off. XOXO

So here I am , a day before my one and only paper, sitting in front of the computer clicking at all the Disney songs on Youtube. Did I tell u that I love the connection in the morning? The video just loads, no waiting. Woot! =)

Dont you miss your childhood times where you just sit in front of the tv and watch all the Disney movies? I usually smile at the end of the movie. =) Back then I love all of them except Snow White. The movies released by Disney nowadays doesnt seem to attract me that much or leave a mark.

Randomly clicking at any links that shows, I found the one I like. Its from Lion King - Stand By Me. Its hilarious looking at Timon singing it while Pumba is getting hit by bad luck. Lmao.

I can just click Replay like 10 times and still not get bored of it. Lalala ~

Timon and Pumbaa is so happy-go-lucky!

There is nothing too fast in this world. If you are comfortable with the pace, just go with it. If you are not, then slow down. Everyone has their own pace. You decide if its too fast or not. No one decides for you, its just a matter of opinion , and compromising between the parties.

Because I was excited about my bros coming this weekend, and I heard they might not come back, I thought I needed to lure them to make sure they come back for sure. Haha. Yes, I admit I love their attention , and if I dont get it, I will think of ways to get them. LOLx.

So I decided to make sushi and nachos this weekend. This effort was told to ze bros in attempt to confirm if they are coming back. XD

The wanders of food. XP

Next step : Get recipes from Chan2 and Internet. Grocery shopping alone, here I come. Lalala ~

Today was the day I took out my chef hat. Hahaha. Yeah right. With supervision and help from mum, things went pretty well, I think.

The result??

The nachos was edible. LOLx. Well my goal for the day is to at least make sure the nachos are edible. It is my first attempt in making them. Hahaha. I am proud of myself.

Feedback??

CL liked it. Yay! Tian thought it tasted like pizza. Swt. Mum said she liked them without ze chips and suggested to cook it with spaghetti the next time. Dad? He didnt even taste them cos its not his cup of tea. Huhu.

Me? I liked it. I have to right? I cooked it. Haha. I sound so pitiful. But ya, I liked it. =)

You must be wandering about sushi. Well, there was some adjustment done to the taste of sushi rice and ya, it tasted better. Lol. But the ingredient used to making it up into a sushi, was, err, disappointing? It tasted the same, maybe worse(but mum liked it.. hmmm) as the previous time I made it. Booooo!! Thats not supposed to happen. I gotta work on it alil more. And my rolling skills ? Gack. So messy. I dont like!

The rest of my Saturday was spent by watching Leverage, a new series CL got me hooked to. Cis! Hahaha. And Bejeweled on Facebook. So much for studying today. Bleh. Anyway, there is duck duck for dinner ! Weeeeeeee. And it's here already. So off I go to indulge on the duck duck. Lalala ~

Had a date with siao2 at MV. Woot! While waiting for our movie to start, we dropped by at Pets World. Its been a long time since I dropped by at one. Its so so cute looking at all the cute animals and poking the cage glass hoping they will be scared.

The rabbits there were so lazy and not fun. I made faces at them, poke the glassss and made sounds but they didnt even blink an eye =.= We saw 4 hammies running on the wheel, so so cute!! I miss my late hammies when I saw them. Sigh. There were also hammies just sleeping on, next, under, beside each other in a look-alike-tent tingi, kawaii na!! One puppy kept biting-chewing on another puppy's leg thinking its a playing stick or something. Rofl. Big bully!

I still want to get guinea pig(s) as my pet because they cant run away easily like how hamsters does. Huhu. Guinea pigs are bigger than hammies. Fuzzier. Cuter. Can cuddle more. Nicer to pat. Their bites hurts much more also, ouch. Oh well, I will get them once I can feed myself. I must promise myself that I will take care of these babies this time and not pass the responsibility to mum. Sigh.

Can I do it? Only time will tell.

Finally home after 2 long days of walking involved in Penang with Tian. To walk around on your feet is always something fun to do cos you will discover things you didnt realise when you´re on the car. But the hot weather somehow seems to discourage all the walking motivation. I have sunburn now. Bleh. Pain! Q__Q

The map didnt help much in getting our way around. We end up getting lost anyway. Haha. Getting lost in Georgetown is always interesting as you walk around the lanes randomly and bump into food stalls. =P

Freshly baked eggtarts! Chocolate cake! Peanut dumpling! I love buying food from shops that doesnt have signboards aka foodstalls. To see how the old uncle and aunty concentrates making them, it shows that they baked them with love. =)

And it did taste good. Jalan Melayu is the street you can get these yummies.

Our destination was Padang Kota Lama so the walking began with help from the locals for direction. Haha. View from along the walk at Dewan Sri Pinang:

After a long walk about 30 minutes (we were warned told that its gonna be a LONG walk), we reached Fort Cornwallis. Yay!

Look look, the place where they keep the belerang. Bang! Boom! *grin*

And Tian who has plans to conquer the world one day with the meriam and he idoled Francis Light apparently. XD

Then it was time to walk blindly back to Georgetown to look for lunch. Lalala. We saw the lighthouse and decided to check it out. The stairs up the tower was quite scary, I felt like I could drop anytime. Tian was pretty scared on his way up the tower, he is scared of heights btw. If I felt it was alil scary (I have no fear of heights), what is this to him then? Haiz. I felt bad for telling him to just go up and stop feeling scared cos nothing is gonna happen. Sorry Tian, your jie wasnt sensitive enough. :(

Batu Feringghi was next! It rained for abit when we were at Gurney, luckily we had shelter. Right timing to be in Gurney Plaza le :)

For dinner, we had like 5 different food such as nasi lemak gulai ikan (we bought it from a foodstall and it tasted good :) ), spring rolls, char hor fun, Taiwan sausage (I didnt like it), cuttlefish mit spinach and ais kacang! That night, I ate till I drop. So full!! But satisfying. =)

Going off to Genting in 10minutes. Haha. Have to get ready now.

The bro came up to Penang and forced me to be his tour guide. Sighs. Of all things, a tour guide. Me and my sense of direction doesnt come in handy in situations like this. Bleh.

My favourite pictures of the day:

Here I am waiting in the PC lab of Management school. My final presentation of my university student life. Wow!

Presentation is scheduled at 1130am, which is like 15 minutes away. What am i doing here blogging? Haha. Crazy ar?

Its because the lecturer who was supposed to evaluate us had to postpone the presentation till the meeting is over. So ya. Here I am, just blogging away to release my tension. Hopefully everything will goes well. =)

Few weeks back, I was requested to help facilitate a workshop with 7 other people. Thinking it would be interesting to faci high school students, I took up the offer anyway since it would be a good and new learning experience. Initially I had no idea what this workshop is all about and where it was. Then the details came in. It will be in Taiping in a school called (look at the picture below) with the title "Preparation for Interview."

The call is here.

Dad and mum actually called me to ask when will I be back home. They both sounded so so happy through the phone when I said I will be back next week. I could feel their excitement through the conversation. So I will be home, be a good kid and not create an impression that I am running away from home, for now.

I am so attached to them. Just one call and I will do anything to not disappoint them. I am still dee's and mee's little girl. =)

It has been 8 long weeks now, 2 months in a week. Couldnt have been better without you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your attentiveness. Thank you for all the love.

"Ich liebe dich rakas!"

Because I was bored with cutting and pasting the tables into Microsoft Words and then elaborating crapping about the results, I suddenly thought of posting about tips on how to handle bad-behaving pipes. =P

So where did I get the idea? The house I am living in, Pipey wasnt behaving. My very own inspiration comes from things around me. Lolx. More like I am coming out with excuses to not work on my report and detour to blogging instead. Haha.

Symptoms of bad-behaving pipes?

When you turn the tap (clueless what is the right term, too lazy to find the right name after a few times searching for it), water doesnt flow out or even drip. So you continue turning the tap left and right and hopes something do happen next but nothing does. Then you're pissed and maybe turned violent to the tap. =P

Some things that are highly encouraged that you can do:

My my, it has been 2 long weeks since I last blogged. Well the one I asked for assistance in the survey dont really count as a blog entry. Haha.

Nothing much happened for the past 2 weeks. I pretty much stayed at home most of the time because I feel "attached" to the house. Haha. No la. =P

Finding out some interesting knowabouts lately. Drooling over GTI Golf Volkswagen, i love the car interior! Meeting up with an old friend and catching up. Miss Kan came up to Penang. Me and addiction to Bejeweled in Facebook, play it and you will know what I mean. Finish PM presentation and project, yayy!! More Big Bang Theory dosage, I am in season 2 now. Feeling bad for not going home last weekend after dad called. Had awesome time in Divali with food and company. Progressing after spss, it´s report time. Some weird pretty creepy lift incidents. Didnt get much of my daily dosage last week but I am still surviving, woot! =P

That pretty much sums it up.
