Graduation!!!

This will be the final post of my campus life.

Finally~ it's my graduation!

 

Feel so cheerful to graduate alongside with best friends in our graduation robe! But feel sad too that it’s the end of us being together. I was very lucky to have friends like them throughout my 4 years in university. We are now separated in different states for work and it seems to be hard for a reunion. Everything went by so fast and I didn’t even have time to really say goodbye.

Queen of Terengganu gave us our degree and the King of Terengganu was sitting in the upstairs hall!

 

In the hall after got my degree. I am so angry with myself as when my name gets called, my cap started to falling off!! I’m sure my stage photo would be very ugly with my hand holding my head.

Photos with friends and coursemates.

Spot me still with my cap on my head while others are throwing theirs. I was so lazy to kutip balik the cap, so I don’t want to take it off.

 

With university sign and my degree. I took this one day after my graduation because it was light raining on my graduation day and I was so hungry after the ceremony plus my foot was so painful with my new heels. No mood for photo.

My final mission in UMT.

 

Yeah! Mission accomplished and the end of my student life.

I stayed in KT for a few days. Drove in the town..drove past the places I always go..ate food I like in KT..went to beaches and watch blue sea with blue sky.

I got quite emotional.

I love this simple place and the simple life..

I miss the time when we want to meet, we go to the beach and we have fun..

 

when I’m in stress, I can speak to the sea, write on the sand, and let the waves bring them away…

Life goes on.

 

 

 

a-simple-hello-and-a-smile

Hello, lack of updates...


FYI, I’m now an intern in the QA department of a well-known canned food products company in the country. Its logo is a rooster, but no any product is manufactured by chicken. Haha :) Guess guess guess~ What I do is assure the products are in acceptance standards before release them to the market. I feel tension when conducting analysis and attribute tests...need full concentration and a very clear head. But no worries... practice will make perfect.

It’s been a month I’m working an 8.30-5.30 job in the lab. Sometimes there’s a whole stack of products waiting to be checked...sometimes there’s nothing to do... Somehow, I get bored easily for repeating same thing. I love doing a lot of things, different things.. I want to do more, see more, and learn more. Well, since the learning opportunities provided are just fine, guess I have to create opportunities for myself to get more.


First thing to do is smile and greet everyone I meet. A simple “hello” and a smile is the best manner to whomever you don’t know. I happen to open the main door for a staff while I was faxing some documents at the front desk. I greeted him with a smile. I thought he was one of the staff here, aiyooo why did not bring access card huh?! but later he came to the lab for product testing, turned out to be the big boss omg.... Fuhhh, luckily I did not show weary face to him!!~

So the a-simple-hello-and-a-smile theory works!!! and I started to know more people from other departments.. I believe this very little thing I do everyday will shape a better future of mine in this company. 5 more months to spend in this place lehh... anyone could bring me good fortune~


Btw, I am planning to create a new mandarin blog... writing about food, in a babyish kiddiewinkie way. Hehe~ The “construction” is still in progress... waiting for more ideas to come..and this is the dinner I had just now, with all product samples from the company :)

Okay, that’s all for now. Will update again soon......

I am an intern

All my life is going to be changed next week.


I gonna start internship next week.
I gonna move in the rented room and stay with others under the same roof.
I gonna wake up early for work.
I gonna work with others in the real industry.
I gonna pay room rental, feed my car, feed the toll gates and feed my stomach, with that ‘sikit-sikit saja’ monthly allowance
I gonna have a very good financial planning to cover all these expenses (have to think twice to subscribe a broadband somemore…swt).
I gonna have a good attitude to mingle with people.
I gonna be very alert all day and night, in this completely new and strange city for me.


STRESS!!


I was so nervous and ganjiong!
I have no idea how could I survive.
I guess I shouldn’t think too much.


Al izz well! Al izz well!


Here's my favourite song from Jason Mraz.. best suit my feeling right now!
We've got a lot to learn and I won't give up!

Farewell

It almost feels like this is the end of my time here in UMT. I’m going to leave this tranquil city tomorrow. It’s time to pack my belongings and back to the hectic city.


I’ve collected a whole collection of pictures of life in UMT… including the road my feet have travelled. All the pictures are making me super reluctant to leave here as I gotta step into another phase of my life, the internship.

I will miss everything here.....see you next time Kuala Terengganu!
*damn...i started to like this place*

It's coming to an end now....

Next week will be my final week as an on campus UMT student. I study and live here for about 3 ½ years... I’m so reluctant to leave all this behind me...


I’ll miss kitchen life... chef coat, knife set, commercial class, recipe testing, deboning chicken, sneaking chocolate, service, cleaning kitchen...

I'll miss working for final year project...meeting supervisor, data collection, thesis writing, viva...

I’ll miss TaiChi Club...recruiting new members, practice with fellow members, sharing with Sifu, performing in events...

I’ll miss Voice of Harmony...recording, dancing, singing, performing in convocations and big events...

I’ll miss hostel...all my ex-roommates, kucing, water crisis, hunting for food during Ramadhan, free nude girl show, go online for hours in the midnight, sleeping...and oh, studying...I have no regret to stay in the hostel all these years without my friends around. This is already like my second home.

I’ll miss all the random activities I’ve joined in these years. Squash clinic, swimming, larian hijrah, chinese cultural night, santai seni, volunteer duty...

I’ll miss the time when we pakat to not go to lecture, I sign for you and you sign for me, I fell asleep, see others fell asleep, day-dreaming in lecture...cursing lecturers we dislike, laughing at lecturers we want to laugh at...

I’ll miss getting frustrated by Accounts, Chemistry, Menu Planning and Nutrition...I’ll miss the quizzical quizzes and testicle test-tical tests. I’ll miss lab reports, assignments and presentations...

I’ll miss going for Hot Hot’s vadai, Kuning’s sweet and sour chicken rice, Batu Rakit’s tomyam, KFC, Secret recipe, tapai, keropok lekor, sotong goreng, Mongolian steamboat, Mydin’s popcorn, China Town’s egg tarts.....I’ll miss RM5.99 Ruffles cheezy chips from Mydin KT. Hahahaha!!

I’ll miss staring down at the whole campus and hostel area from the library...

I’ll miss jalan biawak and van sapu...

I’ll miss all the beaches...

I’ll miss hanging out with my buddy-buddy friends... talking, pranking, doing crazy things, made fun and laughed for that, lepak-lepak, makan-makan, travelling...It’s so great to have you guys with me all these years. (sincerely, omg...feeling weepy) I'll miss u guys for how you all have brought colours to my life... I am so thankful that I’ve met u all.


I’ll miss all of you from Food Service and Nutrition 08/09... I’ll miss all the moments we cherish... I’ll miss all the laughters we had, disappointment and pride and scary times we had too.

I'll miss everyone else who I've met at UMT! from food science to the friends from other classes and also my seniors and juniors.... hahahaha...

I’ll miss all the lecturers and staffs I know...I’ll never forget all the lectures and advices from you all...I appreciate every helping hand from staffs and also the pakcik-makcik...

I will be starting internship in a month’s time. I’m not sure what will happen with me in the future, but what I’ve done and who I’ve met in UMT will stay in my memory forever =)


P/s: I started my very own memorable happy new year by running in the rain...letting the raindrops falling on my head... I’m so happy!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TWENTY-TWELVE!!!!

In this festive season

It was Christmas and everyone was in festive mood. I went clubbing (kononnya) and shopping mall for movies to celebrate this joyous occasion.Yay!! 

I am not a follower of Jesus Christ, a free-thinker here! But I just feel want to make my days happier. As I always mention recently “we gotta make memories”

So on Christmas eve, I went to a bistro for some alcohol. My friends told me that the gift exchanging is still on but I didn’t prepare anything. So they simply dropped me at a stationary shop. You can’t expect anything very special from a stationary shop right? I have no choice!!! So I took the Angry bird dustbin. Wahahaha XD

 

Poor him on the left got my gift and I got a bottle of lotion from him on the right

We played poker and the ‘rape with a blink’ game when waiting for the countdown. 

 

Merry Christmas and CHEERS!!!!!

Then we went throwing darts. To make the game more interesting, we bet on it with pulling ears up and down as punishment for the one who score the least. I have poor focus and I lost the game 4 times…the biggest loser of the day wtf!

On Christmas day, I went to Mesra Mall (2 hours plus away from Kuala Terengganu) with a bunch of guys, some I knew for a long time and some were new friends. I was the special guest of the day. They thought there will be a very young cute pretty new junior girl, and they dropped their jaws to the ground with an UNBELIEVABLE plus DISAPPOINTED face like meme when I showed up. Wtf…hahahaha...but it was really a great surprise from me the SURPRISING special guest!!

Not really a celebration but more like a gathering. Watched two movies and had some arcade games…Oh I miss arcade games!!!!

That’s my merry Christmas! No related to Jesus at all. Hahahaha!!

Before that, we also celebrated Winter Solstice aka Dong Zhi. We made Rainbow Tangyuan just for fun but not edible. Too much of coloring larrr…

 

  

Angry bird series~~~ so cute!!

And we cooked with sugary syrup and savoury soup. The ever first time I tasted the savoury soup version of tangyuan. uhmmm....sorry lar I don’t like it.

I am not good in art. So I can’t make Angry bird, but only can make a star!

mmm…I love this festive season!!! More festivals please!!

Here I wish you all a Happy New Year 2012 in advance =) PEACE!

Thought of the day #002

Viva was finally over. Not to say good but not too bad also. Anyway, it’s over and now I’m gonna work on TC boy thesis writing. I mean, write scientifically and referential.

December is packed with tests and assignments. All are last minute arrangement before final exam. So I do last minute work lorrr..

I have a mission for the final month of my life in UMT. I’m going to collect a whole collection of pictures of UMT and KT... friends, campus area, beaches, people, food...etc.

Feel so glad and sweet to be with my BFF... we talk, we ask, and we share about life and love, girls and boys, jokes and shit... like we used to.

The modified lemon detox diet took two-kay-gee away in a week! Yeah!!! Now I gonna try Dukan diet with full protein and low carb. I can eat tons of meat right now!

I’m undergoing acne treatment... I got reddening of skin, burning, and skin peeling... I wanted to control oil, but now it seems like too dry. For beauty, I hope all these worth!!!

Just finished watching my favourite Taiwanese Drama “In Time With Love”... It is the best drama of the year with my favourite actor and actress!! So real so natural so touching. I gonna rewatch the full drama!

That’s all~~~ *in a happy mood*

December Air

I get hot in December air. I’m sweltering here in my hostel room. It’s just so effing hot. Last night, I felt so hot and by the time I got up in the morning, I was in sweatiness with my singlet on. Why my room is like an oven?!! Poor air circulation (I opened the window and the door, like a open house) Worse thing is, out there is so windy...

a watermelon by the beach is the best way to shooo the heat away

I get wet in December air. Sometimes it’s pouring rain. It took two days to dry my clothes and it is wet everywhere. I can draw on the window when it is raining out there.

The weather is making me go Oh-Oh-Gila!!!

I get excited in December air. Mayday is coming back with their latest (might be the last one) album before the world ends at 2012. Yay! From now on, I gonna Mayday my Decemberdays and get ready to board their Noah's Ark.

I get a little blue in December air. It’s just two more months till we will go our separate ways. It’s so hard to say goodbye. Memories are sweet, cherish it. Let’s make more memories.

cute right? I ciplak this from the internet

It’s time to review the past of this year and plan a new resolution for a new year!


Life is short. Live it!
(nothing related to December air. I just simply wanna quote this)

My Cat Story

I just finished the blog entry about two caves I explored in Kuching. but I just can’t stop myself thinking about CATS!!! So I gonna write about CATS first.
Before I show you the Kucing Kuching, let me tell you how the Kucing Terengganu pissed me off.


I personally dislike cats and dislike turned into hatred after I lived in Terengganu. Terengganu cats here are huge like a baby tiger (we call it cub). They are slow and lazy. They sleep on sofa, table and chair. They jump on the table for food, when you are dining. They jump on the chair to share your seat. They sneak in your room to sleep. The baby kittens sleep in your shoes somemore. They will never bother you whenever you walk near or try to chase them away. As Malay is the major population here and they really like to take cats as pets, so these four-legs-furry-creatures-with-whiskers are the boss here!! Sometimes I doubt…they don’t know the existence of dogs on earth. That’s why they are so arrogant. You can’t blame me for hating them, because they are really so annoying and trouble-makers they are.


It was a lovely evening. Before I went out for dinner with my direct junior, I saw a box of cats in my house. A mother cat and 4 newborn kittens. Gosh. So must be the kindhearted Malay housemates brought them back. Later then, the mother cat will make here her house, walk around in the house, the kittens run here run there, sleep in my shoes, and meow for day and night!!! *Benci* I gonna chase them out, but the mother cat was so fierce, keep staring at me.


The mother cat was gone after I went back. Yay, action now! So I moved the whole box of baby kittens out to the corridor, about 10 meters away from my house. Clear!! Then I went for a shower. After that, I heard "meow meow meow" faded in and out in my room. I thought the cat was outside the window. So I didn’t bother. Suddenly, the mother cat appeared. She was under my bed just now, with a baby kitten in her mouth. AHHHHHHH!!!!! Very disgusting! Screw it! Then she walked out from my room, and I guessed she came from the window.


"wtf you...Cat, you came for revenge is it?"

Then I shut the window, left it ajar. I think this time she can’t jump in anymore. But no! I was wrong!

After an hour then, she jumped in again. I didn’t know how she squeezed herself to the partially opened window and jumped in with a baby kitten in her mouth again, all in a sudden with a loud bang on the window. I was panic and screamed. That was so disgusting to see her hold the kitten in her mouth. Then I chased her out and she showed me the cat face, stared at me like I had killed her whole family.


"Yo you Cat. Your babies are all out there. Stop torturing your kitten with your mouth and frighten me with it. Go back to your box."


After her second strike, I shut all the windows. Completely. I didn’t open the windows for two days after that. I was breathless in the room.


A few days later, I saw the box disappeared. Must be someone moved them to another place. Yay. There are gone!!!! I can now open the windows widely and breath.


But good times don’t last long.


The damn cat made her third intrude from the partially opened window again. Damn!! With the very tiny kitten in her mouth again!!! She walked under my bed from the open drawer and hide inside, didn’t want to come out.


I’m not afraid of the cat, but the scene with a kitten in a mouth is just so eerie to me. The mother was like holding some dead meat in her mouth and the kitten was like a dead meat, like a toy to the mother. Disgusting~

I have no idea to get rid of the cats. I asked for help from the Malay housemates. They brought broom to get them out, meow meow meow to attract them.


“Oi You Cat! You better come out. STRESSSSSS!!!”


10 minutes has past. The mother cat was sooooooooo degil and stoned in there. Then the Malay girl removed the bed and the bed board, and she caught them out. At first I kinda worried the damn cat will attack her, but luckily she didn’t. So the cat which came for revenge has gone, not too far, still outside my house. I don’t know which kindhearted animal lover give them a new house- a new and larger box. Good job. The windows of my room will be forever shut. And that night was the night of the year with the most rude and harsh words. STRESSSSS!!!


So this is my Terengganu Cat story, a very hateful one full with hatred. Some said I’m the one who started the “battle”. Okay, I did move the cats out of the house, but this is my house!!!! They came in my room like a thief and frighten me off thrice. I know it’s simply so childish to kira with a cat, but….speechless wtf!! I'm so stressed out because of you CAT!!!

 

 
Eiihh, where’s the Kucing Kuching? Sorry, gotta leave it for the next entry. =.= 
and the Kucing Terengganu is still meowing outside my window. STRESSSSSS!

Not my convocation

This year is not my convocation year. But I was in Pesta Konvo every day with different mission.

Day 1
Mission: Hunt for the very delicious Terengganu food, Nasi Dagang!!!
Status: Mission accomplished.
*oops, no photo of nasi dagang because I just can’t wait to “transfer” them into my stomach*


Day 2
Mission: Duty for nutrition assessment.
Status: Mission accomplished.
Bonus 1: Found another very very tasty Nasi Goreng Ayam Berempah which taste like pandan chicken! Yummilicious~
Bonus 2: Got two ink pens and a notepad from FST.

The Grand Palace, Bangkok

As Isabella and I were assigned to be the in-charge person for the second day in Bangkok, we have to plan where to go before and after the visit to Halal Science Center of University Chulalongkorn (remember I was in an education trip?). We are very democratic one and we let everyone suggest where they want to go, but end up with “anywhere also can”. (Lame!!)

Since nobody want to decide, okay then I be the Boss larrr! XD 


No first trip to Bangkok is complete without a trip to the Grand Palace. I die-die also want to go there!!!!! So, I make it the first place to go in the second day in Bangkok.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

Our first day in Bangkok was a Saturday!!


Yay! Going to Chatuchak Weekend Market!!

We took a cab from our guest house at Khao San Road to Chatuchak to see Thai food culture and what kind of food we can get from there (one of the objectives of the education trip...ahem!).

6 girls squeezed into a cab to save cost.

There’s 8 people in the cab and the driver still say “NO PROBLEM, KAP KAP!!”

Thai got no police and no saman one ar?

and luckily Thai's cabs are all Toyota!! Good car XD

Khao San Road, Bangkok

It’s been a week since I back from Bangkok. So many photos to collect from other friends and also have to write a report on the trip.

This is not actually a full free & leisure trip, but an education trip. But don't know why, it turned out to be more to a leisure trip. Hehe :) 


I received an email from my lecturer, saying that I was selected to be 1 of the 18 to fly to Bangkok for an education trip under sponsorship of the faculty.


WHOA! What can I say? I am damn super lucky!!! With free two way flight ticket + free accommodation for 5D4N ehhh!!

I think the Universe really can hear me. I remember one day before I received the email, I was complaining to my friend that I have no money to travel oversea and he told me the same thing. The next day, we both got free pass to go Bangkok!!!!

Ahem, I got bring my heart and attention to Bangkok okay? I was soooooo focus during the talks and visits. (Trust me!!)

Let's go Kenyir Lake @ Herbal Garden & Saok Waterfall

Continue from the very kind neighbour brought us together for boat ride in Kenyir Lake.

this is da xiong and me

During the boat ride, the little boy named Da Xiong was really naughty and playful. Each of us was given an animal’s name and this naughty boy bullied me!!! sigh...kid's game =.=

After about 10minutes boat ride, we reached Herbal Island.

Let's go Kenyir Lake

On the way back home after Rocky and I went out to town to book our Redang trip, I spontaneously suggested to go to Kenyir Lake during our 10-days study week. I need a tour guide, a photographer, and a travel companion. The first person who came to my mind is Thye Lim, as he went there before, he can take photo very well, and he is also a travel kaki. Okay, travel companions set!

the driver, the tour guide/photographer, the visitor

今天我要出去走走

多得末考空档期间过得颓废的日子，有许多多余的时间思考
想过去，想现在，想未来
之前忙碌的日子过得很充实，却忘了生活和自己
现在空闲的日子过得很颓废，好像又失了生活的意义


我想
生活当中的每件事，都有它的意义
我们应该做的是自自然然去生活
不管你觉得它有没有意义
你做了，自然就赋予他意义
尽管是一件小事，也会变得有意义而让自己快乐

 我会努力的让每一天的生活过得有意义，变得有价值

 今天我要出去走走
管它太阳再大把我晒得再黑，也要过得非常有意义！！！
走！
