Merry Christmas !!!

This is the fourth year I'm celebrating Christmas as a university student, and it is the most lonely one that I ever had in these four years. 

I could still recall back the first ever Christmas that I celebrated with my fellow TE 4-rians. The whole class decided to buy ourselves a Santa hat and wear it to lecture for a day and the job of buying the hats was completed by few of the TE 4-rians. On Christmas eve, we wore it in the campus and greet our lecturers Merry Christmas. And then, we also made ourselves dragon fruit and honeydew flavored glutinous rice ball to celebrate winter solstice.

#Last chemistry practical session with Ms. Leong on Christmas eve.#

#Public Speaking presentation day.#

#And finally, we celebrate Christmas by making glutinous rice balls.#

During year 1, I celebrated it with just a few of the TE 4-rians because it is already semester break and most of them went back hometown for holidays. And since the winter solstice is around the corner of Christmas, we celebrated both of the festival together.

#We celebrated the Winter Solstice with different shapes of glutinous rice ball...#

#... and a exciting brick game !#

#And together we celebrated Christmas with a true or dare game as well !#

Well... Christmas crushed with our internship during year 2, so what we did was sending greetings to each other only. But I had some fun time with my internship colleagues from UCSI during the month of Christmas. 

#Me and Yen Yee with all the UCSI colleagues at the office hallway.#

And this year, the last and final year I'm in UTAR... I celebrated it with my fellow colleagues from my working place. We did a countdown and greet each other Merry Christmas loudly after we closed the restaurant. And when I got back home, I found that the peanut plant flowered ! I'm not sure what does this means... a flower on Christmas... but I hope that it bring good deeds to me. 

May the God bless everyone with love and joy in this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!! Here by sharing a song to all of you. =D



Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I give it to someone special

流星雨

一开始,乌云密布。
过后就,明月高照。
再后来,满天星星。

看来这次的双子流星雨都是没办法看得见的了。



平时半夜没有什么人的篮球场突然变得很热闹去,原因也就只有一个:流星雨。从我三年级开始我就对天文奇观有兴趣,也很希望自己真正可以亲眼看见流星雨、日食、月食之类的东西。

前两天的月食,听说是这些年来最长、也是我们马来西亚最难的可以看见的一个月食。很可惜的是这个天文奇观被一个下雨天的晚上毁了。雨后的夜晚乌云很多,我能看见的除了是一堆暗红色的云朵以外,什么都没有了。

今天也不例外,美丽的夜晚又被下雨天摧毁了。约好了朋友一起去看,结果看了好久也只看见了乌云、一轮明月和满天星。


看不见流星,许不成愿望。。。

Nuts !!!

Its driving me NUTS, I never thought that the peanut that I received from Sensei-sama grows that fast !!! Well... I think is illegal to ask for a peanut from her for my personal gain since those peanuts are her FYP samples in plant tissue culture. But anyway, as long as her supervisor didnt find out, I guess it should be fine.

Here's the picture of the peanut plant on the 3rd day:

#You can already notice how thick is the stem connecting to the roots, I guess it's already that thick since the second day I planted it.#

When I saw that it has sprouted some young leaves, I played some songs for the peanut for the rest of the day. And what surprised me on the 4th day morning (today) is, I never realized that it has grown soooooo much !!!

#Its has grown taller for at least 2 times since yesterday !!! No wonder Sensei said that she was shocked by the growth rate.#

Gotta continue on monitoring its growth from now on. I wonder what should I be doing once it is too large for the pot that it is growing from... save that for the future then.

Recent Updates

Its been weeks since my last update... let me list down what I've been through in those days:


- Having big problems with the Internet connection lately, there is no doubt that someone is manipulating the connection or heavily downloading/streaming movies. I hate it everytime when I wanna use it for assignment/report, it get sucks. Feels like smashing the modem so the whole house couldnt go online. *Rawr~~~~~*

- You might noticed it already, UTAR COU just had their second concert last month, coverage of the concert can be found here. We also had a celebration dinner 2 weeks afterwards with a concert DVD given to those who're attending as a mystery appreciation gift. I received a copy myself but couldnt watch it using my old laptop. *Sob sob* Anyway, I had a nice meal on that day, and I filled my stomach till it almost exploded !

#Some of the memorable happenings compiled together by one of our concert committee member. Thank you for the beautiful work.#

#Celebration dinner at Grand Kampar Hotel Chinese Restaurant. Can you spot 2 hidden Mickey ?#

#Seriously... the cloth used to decorate the pillar was comfortable when hugged. Lol~#

#What is a celebration dinner without a big group photo ?#

#We just couldnt stop ourselves from taking pictures on that day... even with our hoods on ! And yes, there's 1 more hidden Mickey here too.#

- Lectures are as boring as ever... but it is a different story for FYP ! Seeing my apple samples are giving positive results for the antioxidant assays I did on them motivates me to continue on. The only problem I encounter is time and amount of solvent left. Hope that I can finish everything soon.

- Oh yes... I did quite some cooking with Rannie-chan and Freezie-chan as well ! We cooked ourselves dinner a week before semester starts and constantly having a cooking session once every 2 weeks on glutinous rice ball dessert, fried bread and sushi.

#This is one-of-a-hell big piece of maki filled with cucumber, carrot, tuna spread, crab stick and sausage.#

- Working seems like enjoying lately, though we still need to be serious when the big bosses are around it is busy time. Me and Harley-san celebrated our beloved colleague's birthday last Saturday with a chocolate cake. Announcement: December monthly promotion coupons are coming real soon !!! 

#Obsessed in working until taking picture with the cake AND the tray. LOL~#

#Oh yeah... making leaf-shaped wasabi is my specialty now since almost everyone is afraid of the smell. Credits to Harley-san for the picture.#


I guess thats all of it unless you wanna count "course registration sucks with turtle-slow connection" and "NDS game Professor Layton series are addicting". Here's a lovely and relaxing song I found today by Hebe of Taiwanese female pop artist S.H.E. to end this post. Enjoy~

金宝拉曼大学华乐团荣誉呈献第二届演奏会:《旋萦之夜》

筹备了好久的演奏会终于在昨天顺利的举办了!虽然自己不是筹委员之一,但是也可以感受得到他们的泪水汗水是没有白白奉献出来的。

这次的演奏会比去年多了些独奏的曲子:柳琴独奏《冬猎》、琵琶独奏《天山之春》、古筝独奏《临安遗恨》和唢呐独奏《山村来了售货员》。个别乐器也演奏了许多的曲子:笛子重奏《八月桂花遍地开》、二胡齐奏《美国往事随想曲》及丝弦五重奏《彩云追月》。

除此之外合奏的曲子也很丰富:《玻利维亚舞曲》、《达姆达姆》、《旱天雷》、《凤阳花鼓》、《小曲联奏:千王之王、铁血丹心和上海滩》、《金蛇狂舞》及 encore 曲子《男儿当自强》。其中《金蛇狂舞》这首曲子敲击组还特别配合指挥的要求用了几个晚上编写了新的敲击谱,可以说那首曲子是唯独我们拉大华乐团的。

当晚另一个特别节目是小组合奏女子十二乐坊的《奇迹》。如果不是音响系统管理的不好,这首曲子将会是上半场最精彩的节目了!而下半场的重头戏是古筝独奏《临安遗恨》和《金蛇狂舞》。

#被吩咐去准备了,但是我们还是忘不了拍张照片留念。#

#可爱的笛子组死党~~#

#帅气的指挥与笛子组!#

#当晚演奏者的制服:白衣黑裤黑鞋 + 红色配件。#

#笛子重奏《八月桂花遍地开》。#

#我没有在发呆,我是在很用心的看着指挥!#

这场演奏会不但带来了许多热爱华乐的学生,也吸引了阿公阿嫲们来观赏。许多媒体和摄影师也前来观赏这次的演奏会,整个演奏会只看见他们很用心的、不顾一切的为我们拍照。其中一位媒体还跑到我们敲击组后面站着椅子就是为了拍下我们指挥帅气的面孔。

多数看过我们上届演奏会的都说这届比较精彩,也说有进步了;也有些前华乐团的人说我们有些错误和走音的地方,显示到他们都很用心在听整场演奏。听说很多人都喜欢古筝独奏的曲子,可能是因为有钢琴伴奏,显示到整个曲子很特别吧?


#我们华乐团前指挥兼 Kai Ma (干妈)!#

#当晚的 helper 之一。#

#《临安遗恨》的古筝独奏者刘建缗。#

#Foundation TE 4 的好朋友们也前来支持我们演奏会!真的很谢谢他们来捧场。#

#吹管组大合照!#


许多已经毕业了的华乐团学哥学姐们都特地抽空回来支持我们,我还真的很感动。看见我们的前指挥来捧场,我开心到飞过出为了就是一张合照。

演奏会就这样结束了,我还真的有点不舍得。是应该回到认真读书的时候了...

谢谢华乐团。
谢谢演奏会筹委会。
谢谢在幕后努力的工作人员。
谢谢在幕前演奏的每一位演奏者。
谢谢前来帮忙演奏的嘉宾们。
谢谢在场支持的每一位观众。
谢谢在场帮我们拍照的摄影师。
谢谢来支持我们的好朋友。
谢谢 VIP 吃剩下来的茶点。
谢谢当天的晚餐。
谢谢美丽的入场卷。
谢谢漂亮的 booklet。
谢谢爱的鼓励。
谢谢我的笛子老师。
也谢谢我的敲击师父。
谢谢 Kai Ma。
谢谢指挥。

純潔パラドックル - 水樹奈々

FYP gonna start real soon, and I'm still lagging behind of my schedule. I really didnt know what should I do after I done my extraction... to be precise, I havent done anything related to the methodology yet, I'm not even sure what kind of result will I be getting.

Life isnt as easy as you think. Seeing my fellow friends working on their gingers, bacteria and agar plates gave me an idea that FYP is going to be fun. We're all doing our own research all by ourselves with guidance from our supervisor. Once the whole thing was complete, we're writing our very own thesis for the experiment that we conducted, which might be handy one day in the future.

Anyway, I'm really lazy here. What I really wanna do is just lying on my bed hugging my pillow and nothing else... with some musics playing on my computer as company would be nice of course.

By the way, here's a song performed by Nana Mizuki titled Junketsu Paradox, which is the ending theme of the anime Blood-C, a collaboration project between Production IG and CLAMP. There's a Blood-C movie coming up in June 2012 too.

#Poster for the anime with the main character Saya and her sword.#

Here's the song that I've talked about, be warned that this is not the full song. 


Enjoy~

等待,期待

等待,是辛苦的。昨晚放工后与同事们为了吃 McD Family Dinner Box,竟然吃到忘我境界,下起大雨来也不醒人事。最后我们在 McD 避雨... 就这样呆了有近四个小时才回到家。避雨当时我们真的很闷,也聊到没有东西可以再聊了。说真的,我们真的还差一点就可以吃了 McD 早餐后再走人叻。


#这个 Dinner Box 是四-五人份的,但是我们四个人就把它给搞定了。#

期待,是幸福的。那当然,你必须知道你所期待的东西一定要你自己喜爱的。如果你是在期待着一个你不喜欢的东西(打个比方:快要考试了!),即使它来临了你都不会觉得高兴。


我啊,正期待着重逢的那一天。 =3



我啃书去咯,我不想被你说中“考不到好成绩然后抱着你哭诉”。

月饼! ^____^

自问:我已经有几千年没有看过一盒月饼了?

当我手上接过那盒月饼时,心里是喜悦的,
毕竟家里已经很久没有买过月饼了,就算有也是比较普通的月饼。


#大同月饼! ^__^ #

打开这个很传统的铁盒子,里面摆着 4 个不同口味的月饼。

#除了我喜爱的豆沙口味,还有 3 个奇奇怪怪口味的月饼。#

其实我真的有点舍不得把它们给吃掉... 
Anyway,中秋快要到了,
祝各位在考试朋友们考试愉快、中秋节愉快!

Happy National Day Malaysia !!!

Yesterday was Malaysia's national day, and I remembered that few years back while I'm still addicted to MapleSEA, all the players greet each other and jumping around with the event exclusive Malaysia/Singapore flag weapon. Its been so long now, I'm still keeping it in my inventory as a memory of the happy times while I'm Mapling with my friends.

#Found another female player wielding the same flag weapon inside an event map last year.#

Well... national day doesnt seems to be any meaningful again ever since  graduating from secondary school. I still remember that our school will be having a big celebration with speech, drama, music, choir, performance, dance and competition that last for the whole August. 

Since the whole Kampar is in the study mood now as the final exams are drawing near as Raya holidays approaches, everywhere I look seems to be quiet and empty. 

I guess I'll need to go and have a quick Pokemon game study before I take my nap now. 

#Happy National Day Malaysia, may Peace always be with you.#

Precious - 伊藤由奈 (Yuna Ito)

Been listening to this song since the beginning of August. I guess I'm really got poisoned by my working place because they tends to repeat the songs played in the restaurant quite often, and I even think that I can recognize a single song change in the playlist although I do not know of the song names...

Anyway, click on the video and listen to Yuna Ito again performing the song Precious live. As far as I'm informed, they're 2 version of the song: a normal version and a wedding-extension-or-whatever-it-is version, which is more longer and sounds more peaceful and lovely. And of course, the one in the video doesnt belong to these 2 versions. 

Lycics can be found below as usual... its so good to have both hiragana and romanji lyrics together, coz it helps to learn the pronunciation of the kanji.

Working + Song Sharing

Its been more than a month since I'm working as a part-timer now. Although I'm only working on weekends with little working hours, but still I found it fun hanging around with the staffs there. Besides, having chances to meet with friends that so happen to be having meals here makes my day even better. 

#Kawaii cat statue placed in front of the cashier.#

#One of my part-time colleague that usually works on the same time slot with me.#

#My first salary given by the manager in the envelope !!!#

Yeah... I know its almost been ONE whole month that I didnt update my blog. I'm just being lazy to update anything, since most of them are small stuffs... but hey, I did celebrated my birthday on my working day. It isnt a big celebration, but at least we had cakes, candles and presents. Gotta have another post to update that again sometime.

Anyway, I've been addicted to some of the songs in the working place lately. I managed to get enough information to find them myself on YouTube and would like to share it to you all here.


The song is Endless Story performed by Yuna Ito, it is one of the songs that can be found in Nana the live action movie of the anime/manga with the same title. Lyrics in both hiragana and romanji can be found below. Enjoy~~

Endless Story - Yuna Ito 伊藤由奈

If you haven’t changed your mind
If you haven’t changed your mind
そばにいてほしいよ Tonight

Osana sugita no Everytime I think about you baby
今なら言える I miss you
Ima nara ieru I miss you
It’s so hard to say I’m sorry
It’s so hard to say I’m sorry

たとえば 誰かのためじゃなく あなたのために

回忆录:悲伤篇

已经快一个星期嘴唇那里生了两个 ulcer,也就在这一个星期里我只是吃着很淡很软的东西而已,要把稍微带点硬的东西放进嘴里咬都会成为问题。不要说吃,就连喝水说话都成了一个问题。因为吃东西困难,所以这几天里我都有在煲一小锅粥自己吃,今晚也不例外。


#香香热热喷喷的粥,陪伴着我,过着寂寞的夜晚。#

盛在碗里准备要吃时,我回想了好久好久好久以前一个女人曾经告诉过我的一句话:吃粥时要先拿在碗边的吃,因为那里的粥比较快冷... 很自然的我就拿起汤匙刮了在碗边的粥就放进嘴里啃了。吃着吃着,我对这个女人的回忆渐渐地浮现出来。

还记得是她教我分辨她与我爸爸的名字、
是她教我折衣服折给弟妹穿的尿布、
是她帮我洗澡换衣裤、
是她与我一起分享同一支巧克力口味 Drumstick 冰淇淋、
是她教会我最基础的经济学...

但也是她经常拿藤鞭打我骂我、
是她把我锁在家门外让我独自一个人哭、
是她把我心爱的小泰迪熊一把剪刀剪成碎片、
是她经常破坏我们家庭感情、
是她害到我家庭分裂、害到我们兄妹失去一个母亲的女人。

中学时还记得有一次填写表格时填到“孤儿”那一栏时,我犹豫了很久“我算不算是孤儿”的问题。最后被我婆婆哄了一声说:你还有你爸爸的啦,只是不懂他跑到哪里去做什么工而已啦!你要记得你死鬼老母是丢下你们跑掉的,不是死掉的,你不是孤儿!

我也很记得小时候我婆婆对我的话:如果那个扫把星回来要认你们,你们一定要拿尿拿大便来淋她!是她一句话都不说就这样丢下你们跑掉的,是她经常搞破坏的,你们不可以认回那个扫把星做妈妈!我不曾想过要去找这个女人,因为是她破坏我家庭在先,抛弃我们在后。所以如果她真的找上门来,我真的会把她给赶走。

偶尔在旧相簿里看到那女人的照片,我发现我已经不认得她了。想起婆婆朋友们以前常说的那句“你大孙的样子真的很像他那死鬼老母叻,尤其是那眼睛还有耳朵”,让我发现我们俩的确是有几分相似。

因为从小就这样带着坚强生活下来了,所以即使生命里少了那个女人好像也可以无所谓似的。去到朋友家看见他们有个完整的家庭,总让我感觉很奇怪,可能是因为太久没有接触过“家庭温暖”这东西了。虽然已经习惯会被他们父母问起家庭的问题,也习惯用同一个回答方式,但是每次回答时还是会犹豫一会儿才把它给说出来。他们一旦知道自己问错问题了就开始向我道歉。我没有怪他们,毕竟他们都是好奇他们孩子的朋友才会问问而已,我能做的也只是对他们笑笑说没关系。

#我们几婆孙合照。相信你眼睛,这张照片是真的有点模糊。#

正所谓“家家有本难念的经”,坎坷的故事不好听,我也就写到这里好了。

Studying vs. Working

Recently I started to wonder, is studying better or working better ?


Studying: I pay to learn.
Working: I'm paid to learn, and for my hard work.
Studying: I have friends. We share, we play, we laugh, we travel, we're doing most of the things together.
Working: I have colleagues. We cooperate, we work, we busy, we're doing our best to serve the customers.
Studying: Staying up late just to finish doing my revision or reports.
Working: Staying up late coz I just got back home from work.
Studying: Exams determines everything.
Working: Quality of your work determines everything.
Studying: More leisure time.
Working: Lesser leisure time and resting time too.
Studying: Got to rely on others for financial issues.
Working: At least I can handle partial, that makes a lot of difference !!!
Studying: I can join clubs and societies for endless fun activities.
Working: There's no such a thing in the working environment.
Studying: I'm tired without any reason.
Working: I'm tired with a reason.
Studying: You'll not get sacked. Even if you do, that means you're as worse as a rotten apple.
Working: You'll get sacked, if you're not doing at your best.
Studying: Everyday is the same old boring day.
Working: Everyday is a challenging day.
Studying: Facebook everyday !!!
Working: Facebook just to check updates.


The statements above are based on my own perspective, it might varies among different individuals. 


For my current situation, I think working would be a wiser choice to made, if I'm really given a choice between both. But it was studying who provides me with knowledge and all sorts of necessary skills for the working environment...


Since this is a hard choice to make after all... staying in between both of them will be the best solution at the moment.
