Hi!

It has been a while since I have been an active blogger. Perhaps, I have been hibernated from blogging for some time and it seems that I couldn't really get everything updated. Well, this will be quite a long post of how life has been so far. 

I will be starting my final semester in few days for my degree year. Oh dear, I didn't really realise how time flies so fast. On the first day of receiving the offer itself, I don't have that clear idea of how the 5 and the half years are going to turn into. But this is it. 5 years and it passed just like that. Perhaps, it may not turn into what my heart wishes the most, but it is what God has in store for me. For that is the one sole reason that keep me going up to now. At some points, I am fully amazed of how things work on and never thought that I am going to end to some positions in life. Some are just heartbreaking, yes it was. Some are just unbearable, but God makes it bearable for me. Looking into everything, I am in awe. So here it goes, the 5 and the half journey has almost come to an end. I hope nothing but to cherish ever moment. 

Student life has been great and yes I am going to miss it so much later. But there is always a little wish inside me of wanting to go through a Uni life as life in IPG now is almost like the normal school life, even we got the same holiday terms scheduled. Perhaps, one day I will go for it. Next year if everything goes according to plan, I will be teaching in my own school. How does it feel? Of course I'm fully excited! I don't know why some just have this misconception about teaching profession for the obvious bonus we got; high pay and long holiday. Yes, that is rewarding enough for a young adult who has just started his/her career. But I am sure that each soul called teacher always has that fulfilment seeing the pupils succeed in everything they do, not just being intellectually competence but develop positively in their personality, talents and other soft skills. To make every young ones to realise their potential and soar higher. I always have that feeling every time when I walk and wonder down the street, that how am I going to fit each and everyone of my pupil in this society, how much impacts could I give to them so that they know their roles in the community. As the impacts that I carry to them could save their whole life or put them into stake. But not all days are going good either, at some points I may find myself mourning inside for the failures caused to the little ones. That's is life. Up and down.

Holiday has been so full though there were times when I found myself doing nothing. But being surrounded by the homey environment, it makes the heart feels good. Good is enough. Yet, there are times when I just feel insecure here. I don't know why but I just don't feel safe at time especially on the raising unwanted cases recently. Need to keep myself alert all the times. I have been going out a lot too, hanging around with friends and of course playing around with cousins, and the highlight; I cut my hair short and this time I just don't regret it at all, but not sure later. Well yes, I really have to cut it short for the weather here is just intolerable. At a point I thought I was sick for sweating so much though the fan is fully functioning, but I was wrong for my aunts told the same thing too. Okay, I am just a normal one. 

Perhaps, I won't be able to record every little things going on in life for the time being. Life next semester will be very busy. I have decided to go for things that I never try before and challenge myself to where I am able to soar. If I fail, it is still good because I know the process itself is rewarding. At least I try. And if there are days when I just feel so drain inside I will challenge myself to at least smile knowing that life is good. I will fully embrace the experience and the learning process and give my best in everything. So challenge accepted, lets do this! ;)

Lastly, I hope that I won't be forgetting the on basic things even if life is drowning me away. Dear people, lets remind each other. Smile and enjoy the ride!

Coming home, soon!

So, it has been a while and really a while! Well, I'm officially 'running' towards the end line of my 7th semester, one more to nail and I'm absolutely done with it! Yeah, I'm finishing everything, on time which is totally freaking awesome, but it gets me little emotional day by day. Even moving out of my 5 years room, it gets my heart teary inside. But after all, we are staying in a new hostel block which is 3x times bigger than the old one, furnished with pairs of beds, closets and desks, attached with bathroom and most importantly, we get to sleep like a princess with cold breeze, air conditioner! Okay, that was not the main point I would like to emphasize, it is just that everything is getting me so emotional inside! But yeah, just LET it go!

The 7th semester has been great as always, which sometimes I found my self up there smiling for no reason because life is just so so so great! and other time soaking myself with ocean of tiredness, frustrations and sorrow. But that is one of the best thing in life as a final year student I guess! Having those inconsistent mix feelings, a once in a lifetime experience! Like staying up late and try not to look like a zombie in the next day, though it fails! Sometimes, just let the heart see where the experience will bring it, and if you have the heart for something just go for it! Just be bold with things, get drenched out and after that, reward yourself with something good, like food! The main compliment I always award myself which in turn I gain some kilos!

 

Anyway, I'm coming back home soon, and for something big! *wink* may everything be well, and please do! Aims for the holiday before nailing down my final semester: going for a road trip with the loveliest, 'fooling' around with my little cousins, getting a new haircut and a MUST one, diet! Hope it gives me enough energy to get this through!

A world to run

I know that title is a bit ambitious, or should I said it too much? A lady like me to run a world? Impossible? But let make it possible! As everyone has the chance to make differences, why don't start a little thing which in turn could spread a great rippled effect around, and even to the world! okay, I shall stop that philosophical doses!

Almost two weeks off for holiday and it feels awesome! So much things happened and so much stories need to be written out. Perhaps, I shall work as a typewriter this holiday, should I? Okay, get things direct to the point. I know it is still not yet the end of year, but still let gets some things summarised;

2013: Two semesters done: 5th and 6th. Rooster. Class Retreat. Teaching Practice 1. Exam. Mid-Sem breaks. Miri Dancing. BCF Dancing. Teaching Practice 2. The Journey 2.0 Camp. BTN Course. Singapore Trip. Musical Night. Annual Dinner.  Exam. HOLIDAY. KL-Malacca Trip! 

Oh, I feel like I had won the World Championship Award! Did I? Yes, in my own midsummer dream! But yes, that feeling of being satisfied is totally there. At least, there are so much moments treasured in between despite of all the hectic schedules, mixed-up-down-feelings. Opps, sorry for marking myself as the 'most busiest person in the world', don't worry everyone deserves the title too. And I am still young, I shall embrace the joy of being young adult and channelling all the energy into the positive entertaining vibes around!

Plan for holiday: most of the time spending time with my families and act like a boss, but no bossing around! Cause this might be the last-relaxing holiday I have as years to come I might be drowning myself to other things, venturing to more challenging life getaway or perhaps grooming newly found hobbies! Still, I do need to be more productive this holiday, not just for the sake that next year will be the final but for the long haul! 

Dear May, get up, you got a world to run for! ;)

Be AWESOME!

'Leaving On a Jet Plane'

I'm leaving in less than 24 hours and this time my heart is too heavy to do so. But, I have no other choice. So dear heart, lets do this together! 

Holiday has always been great for me, especially when surrounded by families! What I love the most is to just sit and listen to stories told by them. Even on the last week of holiday, I still got my 'sweet escape' to Pitas and Kota Marudu. Last year, during this holiday time, I went for a stay in my cousin's house at KM and got a scarred tattoo after riding on the bike. But for this holiday, I went there and learn to ride the bike which I did! O my! 

As usual, a routine before leaving for IPG, we went for shopping and shopped a lot today! We had our family dinner together too which cost only RM 9.90 per person, Japanese & Korean Vege Buffet at Karamunsing and everyone is to eat as much as he/she wants! 

I met Ellye yesterday and as usual we talked a lot! It makes me to miss the story times we used to have together. Yes, I can't wait for everyone to finish their study! We still have long lists of things to do together!

In one month time, I will be having my second practicum which is around Kuching too. As usual, will be having lectures, BIG and some events! I am not wishing it to be an easy semester but I hope that all of us will have the strength to endure together on whatever that may come along the way and wisdom to handle all the things that we are to do. Stay the course!

For now, dear Mr. Pilot, who ever you are, get the jet ready! :)

The Breaks

I have so much to write, but so little mood to do so. But today, I MUST write!

Two weeks of holiday had passed with every little wonderful moment filling the gaps in between. 

What I love the most in this holiday is that I went to Ranau, which mean I did pass by Bundu Tuhan and Kundasang, breathtaking places! Though we were stuck like almost 4 hours on the way from Kundasang to Ranau, which it was supposed to be less than half an hour drive. Still, it was great to meet cousins and relatives from far. 

I met my childhood playmates too after almost 15 years! And one of them is married now and we met in her wedding reception. It did strike me a while when my grandma said that these day it is quite difficult for us to visit the relatives 'songgiro poh mongoi piruba, aiso no dii pagantakan' (okay, this is my own Dusun version). Indeed, the world is so busy nowadays, that sometimes we do not even have time to say hello to our own far away relatives or friends. So, if there are events held with holidays in between, we should always grab that opportunity to attend, meet and get to know relatives/friends.

My mother and I did also join the volunteers team for 'Sukan Sabah (SAGA) VI' under DBKK. Though at the very first place, I did not plan to join either because I just feel to be home and do nothing but it was too late to back off. Yet, it was a great experiences! I met lot of new people from various part of Sabah, with the different personalities and attitudes they exhibit. I did also make an attempt to serve the food just like the people in my Secondary school's dining hall, though that was not part of the job. I am sure that someday, I will be part of this big event again, not as a volunteer but perhaps from the school community. I might have to bring my own pupils to participate in one of those sport events. Apart from that, I did meet some old friends, see wonderful fireworks colouring the dark sky and experience live performances from the Sabahan's artists. Yes, it was tiring and I got to eat a lot! OMO!

The rest of my time was spent at home: doing cleaning up, arranging my wardrobe, watching movies, updating myself with FB's events, having Zumba session with my mother, playing around with little Amber, cooking for the whole family, reading books, singing karaoke with my little sister or alone!, having small celebration for my mother's birthday, driving aimlessly around the residential area or just sitting alone like a princess! I did go for outings too: hunting for books which I did get one for myself, meeting some friends, seeing the beauty pageants walking on  stage during the Giant's Kaamatan Day and the lists go on. Okay, I know I am writing every single things I did! O my me!

But yes, I love writing things out. That is part of way to record the memories and  the feelings. At least, one day when I read my old posts, that 'One day me' will say, 'Oh, I had been there before, wonderful!'. 

I have been doing so much of reflective thoughts too, I guess, after reading some thought provoking novels and watching inspiring movies: 

That sometimes, we are so busy growing up until we forget that our parents, grandparents and  everyone are growing old too. When we have the opportunity, do spend little time with them at least. Treasure the moments.

That some little things that could bring joy is forgotten. After going through tiring days, ourself needs a little break and there is nothing wrong just to sit down and  do nothing at one point of your life. Perhaps spend the time with the things you love the most, by yourself or with people you love. 

That in this world, we all have different ways of viewing things and we can't expect people to act they way we want. When people are showing their 'true' colour it is a good sign actually that we are knowing them more. Sometimes, we don't need to fit with them, but just accept them the way they are. 

That in every struggles, there is a purpose and great lessons tagged along. When life is turning its way around, it is not wrong to humbly ask for help from others.
That I am so thankful and blessed to have wonderful people around: family, friends and someone. It amazed me too how some things unfold beautifully at the right moment.

Again, it did hit me when there were days when i was so busy learning all the lesson in school that I have overlooked the little lesson that Life is teaching on me on each passed day. Even in the midst of business or brokenness, I know there is small little thing that makes life sweeter. I am blessed to be given the grace to understand Life, though it may take days, months or years to do so. From now on, I want to savour and treasure every single moment in life with everyone, even in a simple manner, and make them the best time in my life!

Updates

The holiday has almost come to the end, for now. I had been spending my holidays watching movie, having random talks with the ladies, online-ing non-stop-ly, strolling around the shopping complex, shopping!, eating some healthy food (I guess!), finishing the 2nd novel of the year, sleeping like a princess, becoming the food hunter in the CNY's open house and watching the fireworks everywhere! 

I guess I have had enough rest, recharged myself. 

Time to fasten your seat belt, dear comrades. It is going to be a long journey! 

And today, I bought a new sport shoes! Finally, I had my jogging time after almost a week. Yaayy!

Blood Donation

31.01.13

It was my first time ever donating blood ! At first, i was so freaking nervous, as if i am going to deliver a baby any soon, which i could imagine how painful it was after listening to my aunt's story on giving birth. O my! But still, with all my heart, i went through it and surprisingly it turned out to be just fine.

So that is me with my donated blood and the lovely ladies! Big thanks to them and some friends whom have encouragingly supporting and calming me down. Kamsahamida!

My whole point to donate blood was actually to overcome the 'fear' in me, as it was a first time experience. Having a needle stuck on my skin was one of the biggest fears i ever had. Before the blood donation, one of my lectures came to us and told that the 'fear' feeling was just a perception that the mind made. All you have to do is to calm yourself down, and i was really trying my best. It was not just the fears that almost chase away my intention to donate blood but also the 'rumour' that was spread by some friends that blood donating could make a person gain weight. O my! But after surfing the internet i found that donating blood is one way to burn the calories in our body. Maybe because the insufficient energy that one experienced after the donation process cause him/her to tremendously increase the food intake. Could be that way.

After everything, well, it doesn't hurt that much actually and there is no obvious change in my weight either. So after this, I could go for another round of blood donation peacefully.

Interestingly, i also found that blood types could determine one's personality:

'TYPE A'
 Sensitive to the needs of others, good listeners, detail oriented, analytical, creative and inventive. Type As may seem calm on the outside, but inside, you’re filled with anxiety and worry. Tend to be cooperative, sensitive, clever, passionate and smart. Often bottling up anxiety in order to get along with others, they may hold in their emotions until they explode. 

'TYPE B'
Subjective, easygoing, creative, original and flexible. Type B's can be very goal-oriented and often complete the ambitious tasks set before them. Outgoing and very charming, you’re good at reading people and providing support. Impulsive individualists who often create their own path in life. You are very strong and optimistic. Blood type B individuals tend to be balanced: thoughtful like A's and yet ambitious like O's. They are empathetic, easily understanding others' points of view, yet often hesitating to challenge or confront. Chameleon-like and flexible, they make good friends.

'TYPE O'
Responsible, decisive, organized, objective, rule-conscious, and practical. Type O's are the social butterflies. Often popular and self-confident, you are very creative and always seem to be the center of attention. You make a good impression on people and you’re often quite attractive. Organized and determined, your stubbornness will help you reach your goals. You make good leaders.

'TYPE AB'
Type AB are intuitive and spiritual, with an ability to look beyond the rigid confines of society. ABs can be quite dualistic, possessing both A and B traits. You often stand out from others, don’t like labels, and are nice and easy going. You are logical and determined to do things correctly. Usually trustworthy, you like to help others. You often speak in a serious manner. Your patience, concentration, and intelligence are admirable. Tend to be very charming and popular.

Isn't this interesting? But it may not all true because of the diverse lifestyle, cultures and background in a society. Partially, it could be.  

Anyway, the Chinese New Year holidays is here! One week away from lectures, superb isn't it? Happy Chinese New Year for those who are celebrating. Can't wait for the CNY's open house trip! Yeee! 

Hello 2013!

Many unexpected things happened on the last bits of 2012. Fortunately everything is just fine. I was actually not really in mood for everything these last few hours, something is just keep bothering, that mix unexplainable feelings inside. Maybe because my flight is waiting me in few more hours. Can i just sign for another days off from college?

Above all, i'm thankful for everything. The never ending fellowships and gatherings with friends and family makes me feel so happy. I love meeting all my relatives, far or near. Last night was a bliss for us because for the first time ever, an official family gathering was held on my grandmother's side family. I am so happy seeing all my grandma siblings gather around. This tradition will be continued every year and this year will be my grandma's turn to be the organizer. Can't wait for another family gathering. yayy! 

Last night was also my parents' 24th anniversary, and only last night i know it like really sure of it that my parents was the first grandchildren whom got married in Aki Andu's family. I must have been daydreaming for all these times for not knowing that fact. With that, my brother is the eldest great grandson in the big family. Me and some cousins must be the second ones! Never thought of that, omo! Anyway, I pray for a happy and blessed marriage life to my parents. This year will be their 25th anniversary so something surprise must be planned out! Let see how it goes later :D

Well, it is a new year! Let us make it a great and blessed one! Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, do be happy and grateful for our life, most importantly stay firm in our faith :)

Have a great and blessed New Year everyone! Let us smile more in 2013 :D

P.S. I must make myself to fully utilized the leftover hours here. Packing up things, tidying up everything, scrolling through the lecture's schedules and files, listing up things to do and make sure everything is on track for 2013. IPBL life this year must be a 'SAMANGAT' one! Lets get started May!

Blessed Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas everyone!

Okay, i had been spending most of my time strolling around KK town for the past few days. Like buying lots of stuffs for decors and some attires. You know shopping is just part of women's nature.

Just now, i went to Christmas Eve mass. Singing at the choirs makes me feel so excited and grateful having so many people around celebrating the mass together.

Tomorrow morning, we are going back to Toboh village. Hopefully the journey will be a safe one. According to plan that were made earlier, we will be attending Christmas mass there and then going to the next destination, Ranau, my cousin house.

Our Christmas open house will be on 29th December. Everyone is welcomed! Then we will be having a big family gathering on my mother's side on the New Year Eve. Hopefully everything will go well too. Those who will be engaged or married soon, we will try our best to attend the big day.

I'm going back to college in a week time. So dear heart, lets have lots of fun first!

Finally, have yourself a little merry Christmas wherever you are. God bless :D

Happy December

There were days when i don't even want to listen to some songs, when i don't want to walk on certain roads, when i don't want to see some people, when i don't want to talk about some matters in my life. But now, i feel so much freedom inside. Sometimes we just have to go through the process, soaked ourselves in tears and drawn away with the pain. It is a long process, but with a strong heart you will survive! You just have to face the pain, feel the sorrowful moment and slowly raise up. Because after everything it will be better, that broken soul will heal, becoming a new one, strong enough. Bear in mind not to lose your faith along the way.

Don't take the easy way out because it only gives a temporary happiness. The pain may surface again one day. Sometimes, it is not the outer part that matter. It is the inside, the soul, it does need some time away, some rest.

Don't settle when your heart is not ready enough. There is a BIG difference between 'mending someone who's broken and finding someone who makes you complete'.

Happy December people :D

The babysitter

I'm spending some of my holidays on babysitting the newborn baby to the big family. Adorable little Arthur. Little Arthur was safely born on the 8th of November with healthy condition and weighed 3.7 kg.

I have been staying with my aunt and the baby at their house since last week. My uncle is away for outstation work. There is not so much work to be done actually here as i do still have time to take my afternoon nap, entertaining myself with movies or having a story time with my aunt after all the works are done. Usually, i will wake up around 6 am and do all the cooking (rice, anty's breakfast, hot water for the baby and mother bathing). Then, will do some house chores to keep the house neat and clean. Around 8 am i will do the 'bathing' for the baby. At first, this was the most difficult tasks to do. It is not easy to give a baby bath for a newborn especially those who are still in days-old age. On the first few tries, the baby was crying non-stop-able which made me panic and rushing to get the bathing done as soon as possible. But after some advices given along the way, i am able to do it gracefully and lil arthur seems to enjoy the bath time! After the bath time, i will wash the clothes and dry it up. When everything is finished i will take my bath and my morning breakfast or sometimes my brunch. At 11am i will cook my aunt's meal, 'sup lihing'. Yes, i did learn how to cook it and now i am able to prepare a delicious soup! Yayy! While my aunt is taking her meal, it is my time to look after the baby and entertain him. When my aunt is done, i will do the cleaning and take a rest until 4 pm. Then do the cooking again. It is the same cycle of tasks just like the morning part except for the dried clothes, need to take and fold it. Around 7 pm, everything should be done. Then, it is time for my bath and dinner if i am hungry enough to eat. Around 8 pm i will be watching television or sitting/lying comfortably on the bed. Sometimes when my aunt seems to be tired i will help her to look after lil arthur because it is not easy for her to go around as she is still in the 'pantang' mode. That is my life as a babysitter and i'm enjoying every moment of it.

I've learnt lots from it and gaining lots of wonderful tips from my aunt on how to be a good wife and loving mother. Maybe because she is my Godmother and that is why we have this close connection and able to share on almost everthing. We did share lots of stories and even about the 'past love story'! Omo! ~ emo session with my aunt! But still it was funny to talk about it. She did also mention on how to find a potential husband and even suggesting some names from my friend lists after looking through my photo albums with some question tagged along the way. So funny! As if i am going to be married soon but that will be long way to go aunty.

All in all, it is really great spending my days here. Lots of new priceless knowledge learnt and valuable experiences gained! As if im attending a course on taking care a newborn and it is a free one! It is also a great oppurtunity for me to enhance my house-wife-to-be skill!

So today will be my second week to babysit and it makes my love towards baby grows stronger than ever! Hopefully everything goes well :)

Update

Finally, the holiday season has arrived. Though it is not a long and that-free holiday, but still it is time for home ! So, i went back yesterday morning. Reached home around 12 noon with tiredness and sleepiness. Seem like this week has been quite a sleepless night for us as we were to submit few tasks. Yesterday, i did also have a wonderful night meeting my fellow high school friends. They were still awesome like always, still with the smesh-like jokes ! everything reminds me of my secondary days ~ yaayy ! It was really a great night, thank you for those who were able to make it. Looking forward for another gathering with more of us :)

This morning, I woke up early to send mimi to the bus station. She was going home and i just hope she reached home safely  which she did ! yaayy ! Then, I went to the church for mass. After mass I met my youth friends. They were welcoming as always. Feel so happy meeting them. As far as i could remember, my SYD spirit had almost dried out. Yet, after meeting them, it goes up ! Thank you Lord ! I am going for SYD 3 next week. I hope i will be preparing my inner self within these few days. Around 2pm, we had our choir practice for one of the masses during the SYD later. Singing in the choirs makes my soul refreshed inside ! Once again, thank you Lord for this blessing !

I did also meet someone today. I just hope she is doing fine and may God bless her with good health and happy days. Take care aunty :)

Tomorrow will be having my SBE at SK Inanam Laut. This time, even though i might be alone, I will give my best ! yeee ! :)

So far, life is full of blessings. Loving Father, thank you :)

'Stranger Inside' 2012

Another blessing comes to my life when I joined the 'Stranger Inside' convoy. I was longing for a fresh air moment and it comes out of nowhere.

So here was the story :)

9 June 2012 ~ first day

The first day of the convoy and I was taking picture with the convoy's shirt. Red was the theme !

The journey was started with a prayer ~ hoping that everything will go well as being plan. There were around 40 of us who joined and 12 cars used. The first destination was Tawau.

The views along the way ware fantastic ! It took us almost 8 hours to reach Tawau from Pitas. We safely arrived to Tawau around 5 pm and straight away check-in to the Kingston Hotel. This was my second time being in Tawau. The first time was on 2006 when I joined the 'Kadet Polis' marching competition. Yes, I remember some of the spots, that i had been to, back then.

Dinner time at Tom Yam's open air restaurant. The night was wonderful even though most of the drivers looked tired after the long hours driving !

10 June 2012 ~ second day

Our morning moment in Tawau was coloured with a wonderful visit to an AUTOSHOW. It was really awesome that all the vehicles was creatively decorated ! After that, we started our journey to Semporna and it was my first time going there !

We did stop at some spots along the way to take pictures ! Take lots of pictures!

Taking picture with my aunt's car. She is the only female driver. Salute!

We arrived Semporna around 3pm and check-in at the Dragon Inn. 

Welcome to Semporna !

Around 4pm, we went to Tampi Tampi Restaurant, one of the spotlights in Semporna. The food was delicious and I still remember the wonderful smell and mouth-watering taste of the Tom Yam soup ! 

We went back around 7 pm, then took a short tour around the area and only when back around 9 pm. 

11 June 2012 ~ third day

Today, we went for a trip to Mabul Island ! A place you will want to go if you are in Semporna.

Group photo before going to the island.

Reached Mabul safely after almost one hour sitting in the speed boat. The views were fantastic. Can't forget the heart-pounding excitement strolling and snapping pictures around the island :D

Mabul ~ I had been there !

Group photo

Pointing at a big group of fishes swimming around with full  of togetherness spirit!

I love this picture ! 

Strolling around the village in Mabul.

I love this one too ! The background looked like it had been painted but it was real !

Around 4 pm, we reached the main island. Actually, we are few hours behind the real schedule and everyone was rushing up to get ready for the next destination which was Sandakan ! It was like 4-5 hours drive. Luckily, everyone made it and we arrived Sandakan around 10 pm. At this point of time, I was really not in a comfortable state after having my skin sunburned ! But still, i managed to get my beauty sleep.

12 June 2012 ~ fourth and the last day

Our morning snap as roomates !

After having our morning breakfast, we headed to Agnes Keith's house. It was one of the historical places.

Agnes Keith's house

After that, we stop for a short visit at the temple. Another spotlight for visitors in Sandakan.

Visit to the temple

We took our lunch, which was the final meal-taking together, at the Sim Sim Restaurat. A seafood lover will love to go this place ! Yeah, just like me.

The journey continued to Sepilok. 

Finally, the journey back to Pitas started. It took us like 4 hours to reach there. Safely arrived around 9 pm. 

The programme was ended in prayer. Thank God that everything went smoothly. I will be missing them all, will be missing 'Stranger Inside'.

I have had a great time following this trip. Even though at first we did not know each other, but it ended as if we were all like one family. Saying farewell to everyone was almost tearing us up. 

The journey along the way was the one that matters the most. Yes, almost half of the times was spent on driving if the sleep hours were not counted. I was really amazed on how they organized this activities. How they support each other along the way. It is not easy to drive together as a group. Not easy at all. The slow trucks, not so good roads' condition, sleepy-night-drive and tiredness were some of the challenges we met along the way. Yet, everything was carefully handled and successfully overcome. 

PS. I wish, really hope, to go for another round of it. Yes, will plan something like this in the future.

Thank you Lord for this blessing :)

Hello new Semester

Back to campus yesterday and here am i living my life on the first day of Semester 4 in Degree Year ! What a blessing that i am still able to breath up to this moment. Thank you Lord :)

So now, I am saying 'HI' to the new Semester :)

My holiday was a BLAST !

Every people i met, every place i went and everything  i did was full of wonders ! 

Will be updating my holiday stories later.

Anyway, have a good day and a blessed one !

PS. Loves from me ~

The Moon That Embraces The Sun

I had been spending my 1st week of holiday on outings with my friends, spending quality time with family and plus watching full episode of 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' drama.

I love this movie so much ! For the first time, I admit that my heart falls for Kim Soo Hyun ! Hee Can't believe it cause i used not to really like him when I watched the Dream High 1. But in this movie, his character and personality captured my heart.

He is so charming and has an adorable voice!

Blessed

Kuching to KK 

I met a lot of people on the way, a long and tiring journey but it makes me feel happy and blessed to have wonderful people around.

Some of them i didn't even expect to bum into. But, I knew there are reasons behind it and actually it makes me feel a lot more happy talking to a person whom i haven't meet for a long time. Just now, i went to join the choir practice at the church. Meeting and talking with them all are just like rewinding some old memories, but i believe that memories are part of the blessings in my life.

All in all, i just feel so blessed

Thank you Lord.

The Gatherings & Events

These are some pictures on gathering and events from January to March !

CNY 2012

I have written down my CNY's day story in my previous post but forgot to attach pictures, so here they are!

The last house of the day, Mr Lai's house. I love his house, full of drawings and art. There is even a small music room which makes me want to have one in the future. 

The gorgeous ladies of the day! Taken at Png's house.

Steamboat

We also went to steamboat which was on earlier Feb. i am so in love with steamboat, especially the yummy lok lok.

Mr Mario's farewell party

This was a farewell party for Mr Mario. He was a consultant in the language department. however he had transferred to IPBA. Here was the night of celebration, not for goodbye, but for wishing him all the best for his future. you'll be missed mr mario! the dinner was held at Fullhouse, Pullman. I love the environment so much, especially the blue antique car outside the restaurant.

Battle of the Band 2012

This was the last event organised by us (JPP). Though it was a tiring week of going out and in the college, running here and there to settle up everything, but it worth. the night was awesome! all the performances was greatly performed. you know, it is not easy to play a band. the best vocalist went to nur fazilah, oliviamate. hehe. and the champion band of the year went to STON. congrats to the winners and the other bands. you guys rock!!

'TESL GET TOGETHER' night

The most recent event that we had was the 'TESL GET TOGETHER' night. this was the night where all the teslians in IPG gather together. that night, my classmates had decided to come out with Hawaiian outfit style! you know, we became the spotlight of the night when the other tesl's classes just wear their own t-shirt class. at first, it was a little awkward walking around with these outfits. but then it turned out that other classes were praising us! yeah, we rock the night!!

KOT 2012 IPBL

Tomorrow will be our KOT day and will continue until the next day. as usual, i will be participating in track event which are 800m, 1500m and 4x400m. i know that i never win any single medal from the first time i follow the KOT event, but it never also make my spirit of running to fade away. i may be slow, but i will never stop. you know your spirit of doing something does not only portrayed through your action but also from your inner side. the same goes in participating in a event, mental and emotiona play a vital role for one to continue running. i will give my best, not only for the events i am taking but also for my life! Once again, i am going to be the 'pompom' girls for this KOT just like 5 years ago during the HKSBP at smesh. but this time we are going to dance in a large group, almost 40 people. that will be fun !!

My coming holidays !

But the best part of all, i am travelling in few more days. you know how much i love travelling! this will be my first vacation to oversea! I am going for a pilgrim at Medan from 10 - 14 mac. my flight to KL will be on this friday night and will meet my mum and sister there with the other participants for this pilgrim. i am so excited for it! hopefully everything will go well. pray for our safe journey yaa.

Then i will also be having my SBE at sabah from 19 - 23 mac. it will be at srk st catherine inanam.

Update

Few updates from me:

1. I had just finished with my SBE II at Sk Pekan Kiulu. it was great though i didnt really get the chance to mingle with the students. still, i meet great company of teachers there. they are all super awesome

2. I will be back to IPBL in less than 48 hours and will be struggling in finishing all the postponed assignments. O dear, i feel like my mind is going to blow up soon.

3. I am in the mood of designing or more precisely, editing a thing like decorating my blog, oo the word should decorating, in the mood of DECORATING something, that's better! and I also feeling like spending out my money! May I?

But now, i need someone to knock my head and tell me it's not a happy-and-relax-day any more, time to get up, put on your suit may!

I'm home!

I have so many stories to share but don't know which one to start first. But one thing for sure, I am home! Though it was rather dangerous to have a flight at night, especially with the bad weather around, still the 'flying iron bird' managed to safely landed in KKIA. To my dad, thank so much for picking me up in the middle of the night. I miss my home. yaayy!!

Anyway, I have been busy -ing myself with tons of assignments and activities these days!! And yesterday, we had a special assembly to farewell our director as he has been promoted. Congratulation Ayahanda! one thing for sure, you will be missed!! This means after holiday, we are going to have a new director.

I am going to have my holiday for two weeks. The first week is a holiday for me. But still I have to do some assignments which are to be handed in after these holidays. Then, the following week, I am going for my school based experience (SBE), at SRK St Agnes which was my former primary school. Glad to go there but still, I have some nervousness inside. Still wandering how SBE is going to be. Haha. After that, I need to prepare report for the SBE. Hopefully, everything will go well.

I feel that I am one of the blessed people in this world. Blessed to have great family and friends. Blessed to have food everyday. Blessed to freely seek education. Blessed to live in a peaceful country. I am really blessed and so you are people. We should be thankful for every little things that we have.

Because at this moment, there people who are suffering out there, craving for foods and shelters. Some are mourning their loved ones. Others are struggling hard just to breath. Maybe, at this moment we are smiling, but not for Japan. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan has shocked the whole world. Let just spend this little moment to pray for them.
