Small Feast

At last, everything finishes just in time. I'm still breathing, safe and sound as usual. Let's not talk about all the hectic days. Let's move forward, and see all the beautiful things ahead. 

There are some coming activities to end my year in IPBL.We will be having our annual dinner this 5th of October with 'Down to the Memory Lane' theme. But i can't even remember those things that make me to become who i am today when i first stepped into IPBL because they are just so many of it. Blessings :). Another thing is that i am going to dance for Musical night this year too. It is going to be my fourth time joining this event. This year i will be dancing some of the ethnics dance - Iban, Bidayuh, Ulu and Sabahan. The most exciting part is that i am going to wear the Iban costume, which is the first time in my life ! yaayyy ! We will be entering the netball tournament too, hope so. Last but not least, exam will be the concluding event before the year end holiday. Wish us all the best.

To celebrate my freedom, I had a small feast for myself last night. yeee !

For all the blessings, good or bad, thank you Father.

Pilgram to Medan

This is my short update on my first oversea travel.

This was supposed to be posted like few days after the trip, but because something comes up on the way, i have to delay it. Because of this delayed, I can't really remember some of the places' name, sorry for that. And friendly remainder before you scroll down the pictures: this is the MOST CHUBBIEST DAY in my life (so far), don't be surprise!

10 MAC 2012

My flight from Kuching to KL was on 9 Mac, so we waited at the LCCT for the whole night because our flight to Medan was on the next day, 7 am. There were almost 50 of us. The time in Malaysia and Medan is about 1 hour different. The flight was supposed to be 2 hours flight but because of the different time zone, it only took us like 1 hour to reach there. So here we were, my sister and I.

Then, we straight away headed to the hotel which is located in the city, Asean International Hotel. We took our breakfast, or supposed to be brunch because it is already 10 am something i guess. After that, check in to our room and then went for short outing around the city. 

Then, we went to a restaurant for lunch. After that going back to the hotel for short rest and change. That evening, we were to attend a mass at Maria Annai Velangkani Church which was located almost 1 hour drive from the city. The design of the church is so wonderful and unique. You will be amazed with it.

The mass ended around 8 pm, and then we went back to the city for dinner and sweet sleep.

11 MAC 2012

We woke up very early in the morning with everything packed because on this day we were going to an island, Samosir Island. The journey took us like 3 hours and we did also made some stops along the way. We did also visit the 'Maria Groto'.

And like sis Tiara had mentioned before on Danau Toba, yeah, I made it there. The lake is so big and truly beautiful. So peaceful like 'heaven'.

Before heading to the resort where we were to stay for that night, we visited a small village in the island. It is a historical place, but i can't recall the story behind it. But there were just so many souvenirs sold there. My eyes were melting seeing all of them because i am a fan of 'tropical-kind' style.

After finished with shopping, we went to the resort which i forget the name. But it is a nice place to stay. I love it so much because it was so windy and the sea look was just so amazing! 

After dinner, we went back to the room and took our sweet sleep after the long tiring journey. There were more to go on the next day !

12 MAC 2012

After packing up and taking our breakfast, we went back to the main island. This time, we will be heading to a small town, Baristagi. 

We did made some stops along the way. We stop for refreshing tea at a place which looks like Kundasang.  

Then, we stopped at a place where the main water source of the Toba Lake was located. 

We arrived at the town at noon and perfect time for lunch. After lunch we checked in and prepare ourselves for the evening mass.

 The mass ended around 7 pm and we straight away headed to the hotel, and took our dinner. Then, good night sleep.

13 MAC 2012

The day start with a morning breakfast and morning stroll around the market in the town. 

After that, we went to 'Air Panas' panas like Poring. For the first time, i saw volcanic in front of me ! Yeah, the water source of the 'Air Panas' was from the volcanic and it is really good for skin. 

The rest of the day was spent on our journey back to the city, a stop for 'durian-eating-time', lunch, shopping at the biggest mall, preparation for mass, mass at Maria Annai Velangkani Church, dinner, packing up everything and sleep !

Good bye Medan

Thank you for the great and unforgettable trip, will come there again someday if there is another chance.

If you notice, the activities in this pilgrim were mostly on visiting places even though it is a church activity. But i feel that the journey and the feelings we had along the way was the most important. It is one way of refreshing our body, mind and soul. The real meaning of it depends on the individual himself. For me, i have gotten some wonderful insights along the way. This pilgrim is truly a blessing for me. Thank you for everything, Lord.

And 1 more, the best thing about Medan was the FOOD. i just love eating and that is why i was sooooo chubby or should it be 'fat' that time!

Outing & Food

One more week to go home.

I have been for two outings with my beloved classmates this week. First to Mcd which happened spontaneously. For the first time, we did not plan it at all. But it was a great outing day or should I pronounce it as a great 'food day'.

The second outing was yesterday. We went to Boulevered to celebrate chang's birthday. As usual, I ate a lot !!!

2010 vs 2011

2010 vs 2011

2010

2011

These are how my tables are set for 2010 which was during my foundation year and the recent one 2011 in degree year. I guess there are obvious similarities and differences between both of them. Those tables setting itself have portrayed how much works, business and burdens that I have to struggle for. And I know that not only me but people out there also have their own 'war' to fight for. Never mind, I am ready and willing to fight for it!

Sadly, I left that collection of pasted pictures (2010) in my house because I forget to bring it back after the last holidays. By the way, the arranged portfolios (2011) are one of the most highlighted stuffs for us as a future teacher. Though it is hard to keep a complete portfolio, but it worth as a ‘training’ for us to prepare ourselves for the real challenges in years to come.

2011

I bought new shoes today! Yaay!! Hehe. Though it costs me almost XXX, but I think it do worth. But then, I still keep the old shoes (2010) for me to use during my coming B.I.G. hehe actually, I don’t really like the colour for the new one, but since it is green, it reminds me of my mother – green is her favourite colour, so I bought it! 

I miss my mother and family so much. My mother and my aunt are going to Philippines this coming Monday for 1 week. Have a safe journey mama and antie! Don’t forget to buy for me this limited edition pig flavored Maggie okay. I love this Maggie!! Though it tastes just like the usual Maggie but I love it more. 

Suddenly, I am craving of this!
