Happy Convocation, Elephant.

The. amount. of. assignments. and. midterms. are.
O.V.E.R.L.O.A.D.I.N.G

So, this is the saturated me escaping from the reality a little while.

I'd been back to hometown for a week. And unexpectedly, I was able to attend the Elephant Convocation. This is the first time our gang member is graduating so everyone was excited and VERY JEALOUS since we are all undergraduates =(


Happy graduated teddy wish Congratulations to the Elephant!


They purposely get her a bouquet of flowers since the Elephant dislike it. And they ordered the red roses to trigger her.



My gift to the Elephant was this cute Bijisan with graduation cap and scroll. I thought of finding/ stitching a robe for her but but but but you know, all excuses will be out.

Now,
Look at all the eager faces.






THE MIGHTY ELEPHANT IS GRADUATING!
HOORAYYYYYYYYYYY!




The standard action,
Throwing Graduation Cap!





And lastly,
a little thought from a person who suffering from assignments and midterms now.



I WANT TO GRADUATE DESPERATELY!
*looking forward the far far away future =(*

The circle.

Hey my dear blog,
dont be upset, I havent give up on you.
Will update you a little now.

Things become messier after my sudden one week return to hometown. My grandpa passed away a week ago, that's the sudden thing. I may not be very close to my grandpa but hearing the news that he passed away, makes me felt upset too. I got the news through msg from my sis at 7.00am. I still attend my classes as usual and laugh with my friends. But the fact is when I received that news, the tears almost fell. I hold on to it. I decided to tell no one about this until I calm down. I do not want to cry in front of ppl.

Grandpa was a traditional man. And you know what the conflict between traditional man and young generation. Though I may dislike certain of his thinking, but I can say I still wish that he could see me graduate. And I know, he would love to see another of his grandchildren graduating from uni too. Two more years but he cant make it. He go through pain during haemodialysis, he go through it. He is getting thinner day by day.

Dad told me he might gave up because he was too afraid of emitting to hospital again. I understand this because human naturally will give up when they are afraid of pain.

I reached my grandpa hse. Look into the coffin, he was in there. Told him, "I'm back". He look prosperous. And I know, he left with peace.

May grandpa rest in peace.

Heaven steps : Hana

This post is about FOOD!

I purposely make myself blog after my dinner so that my stomach wont be grumbling at me when I scrolled down. Back to 26September where I had a date with my KK close friend for my birthday, we went for dinner at Hana.

Hana (はな) means flower in Japanese.

We noticed this restaurant since last semester but didn get a chance to step in as we afraid that it's pricey. But since it's my birthday, I thought of choosing a new place for dinner. Make an effort to do survey on this restaurant and the review from various blogs was they served good Japanese food at reasonable price! So, no more hesitating, this is it! Ching Yee and I were more than excited to go here since we both craved for sushi everyday! The stomach cant wait any longer, it will be our dinner for the day!




Ching Yee! But I called her Ching san most of the time since our Japanese sensei called her that.


The appetizer!
While waiting for the main course, we grabbed this to ease our crave for a moment. This is from the belt. This definitely look tempting! *slurpslurp*

WE LOVE SALMON THE MOST!


Take pic take pic before it's gone!


Now, the first bite! IT'S HEAVEN! It makes me feel so happy having this! Seriously, no joke, I was completely overwhelmed by this salmon sushi. How can this be so good? And that moment, it's official bye bye to the other Japanese restaurant I had in KK.

Since their sushi is so impressive, we decided to have more! But the sushi belt wasnt offering much choices, so we ordered a plate of salmon sushi! I dont rmber the name of the sushi but you definitely can recognize it through picture.

Here come the main courses.

My curry raisu.


Yaki udon.

Both main course are in huge portion for both of us especially the curry raisu. The chic chop in curry raisu seems like it's meant for 3persons instead of personal size. And add with many many potatoes, you just can finish the whole meal yourselves.





And now, the salmon sushi that we ordered!


I felt so touch looking at this *awwwwww* It feels like I'm flying up the sky. I'm sososoosososo HAPPY too see this sumptuous sushi serve on our table. It makes my day! I want to make a confession, I love sushiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! ♥



Omg, even my stomach is full now, I can feel my saliva producing rapidly. Temptation temptation. Never regretted to order this though we had a hard time finishing our meal.



Sushi best partner? Errrrrr, Ching san likes it but not me. I dislike the smell! This is one thing I can take in sushi restaurant =/



LOOK! We both are happy with this! It's amazing how food can make a person happy. Seriously, it works!


Our meal for the night!



You'll never be happier to see so many good food place in front of you! Power of food.


Last pic. Never forget Hana's sushi!

Bits of the birthday

Suit the title of the post, I thought of just include some pictures taken on my birthday. Hehehe, the main purpose behind this post is I DO NOT WANT TO WASTE MY EFFORT TAKING THOSE PICTURES. I'm quite passionate in taking pictures you see. I will take many many snaps at different angle and select the most satisfactory one to please my eyes. So, I do not want to just save those pictures in my "Tinted Smile" folder. I decided to post it!

So, twelve strikes on 25th September. I was on the phone and the coursemates came with cakes. . .

Cakes from Starbucks. And, I think I just realized they prepared me three candle for age of 21 instead of 22. Hahahhahahaa, not bad. It makes me happy now. They thought I'm younger! =)

Then, the birthday dinner with them at Party Play.


I think I love this lifestyle cafe the most in KK. They have good environment, friendly services, tempting food and foreveryummy dessert! ♥ Their desserts are ohmygoshhhhhhh very satisfying, well presented and I can said, it's very unique. The dessert section makes me happy by just looking at it! And very dillemma when it come to decide which one. But I let it go this time as I doubt I have the stomach for it. Next time though. *urghhhh waiting*



My dinner, chicchop. This is something new in the menu! After four months holiday, Party Play expand their restaurant and they have new menu. More more choice of food and more more new desserts! Next time next time!


The kind fellows. Not forgetting the photographer, Farica, our little dearest junior.

Miss the dessert session at Party Play.

But replaced with YOYO!


Patiently waiting for our milky tea, Yoyo!

Yoyo is a good hang out place (Lintas Yoyo). It's spacious and air conditioned. Ppl there look very decent too and it's a safe place over all. Their milky tea is all your crave for and very cheap compare to Chatime. I like their mini pearls! Owhhhhh, I miss it much when I'm in Sban. And it's so satisfying when you take the first sip. It makes you feel slightly comforted to be in KK. Hahahahahaha!

The next day, I had dinner with one of the close friend in KK, Ching-san. But I will make it in the next post as we took many many pictures. Girls bad habit =/

But I wanted to include the lovely cupcakes she get for me here.



I do love cupcakes alot especially well decorated cupcakes =)


Both are fruit flavours.




Low sugar Apple cupcake from Boutique Cupcakes. It taste really good! It taste something like apple crumble and you wont feel filling after eating it. For the first time, I love something that is made from apple. I will definitely get this again the next time I visit their store.


BC for Boutique Cupcake.


And this orange lookin cupcake is Tangy Orange! It's nice too but still prefer the Apple cupcake!



♥ ♥ ♥
You may realized I took lots of picture of cupcakes in different angles. The fact is I love to take picture of cupcakes. I think they are very photogenic! And they look impressive in many angles too. Hahahahha, how can you get such cooperative model? They dont complain and they dont move. Over time when you look back at those pictures, it remind you of how yummy they are =)
♥ ♥ ♥

Make a wish

Today is 25September, the day I will have a glimpse of happiness whenever I look at the date. The day that I will feel excited when it strikes 12 at the beginning of the day. The day that my facebook will be fully loaded with notifications. Also, the day that I should thanks my mom the most for all the pain she go through 22years back then.

Yes, it's my birthday! =)

To be honest, I never appreciated my mom so much for bringing me to this world. I never understand the pain and all suffering till the day I have my surgical tooth extraction. It's a minor surgery and everyone might said, owhhhh well what pain is that. I know very well the suffer I go through during my tooth got extracted is no match at all to the pain a mom giving birth to a baby. But because I go through that and I felt it's so torturing, I could imagine how painful my mom go through when she deliver me. Worst, being a bad baby, I was born with my leg out first. My hand got stuck at the opening and it cause my mom a million pain. My heart was screaming out loud for my tooth to come out during the surgical tooth extraction because I do want the dentist to drill my tooth anymore, it's not pain but very very very uneasy. Then, what about my mom that time? Thanks mom =)

Okay, so now, I'm a healthy person.

I would not say I'm 22!

I'm FOREVER 21
& today's the first year anniversary!
*living in denial*

Once again, my birthday is in KK. This is year could be the most lonely birthday I had ever. But, it doesnt matter. Because this year, I learn to appreciate more than ever. Because I'm alone, I see many things that many ppl may miss out and appreciate the thoughts that I may not last time. Last time, I may hope for ppl to give me a celebration, cakes, dinner and birthday songs. But now, I realized, even a simple birthday msg I received, I'm happy and I'm touch. It's a very miracle feeling. Believe me, it's really miracle.

I received a few msgs from my close friends at 12am. And I realized, I may not have many friends but the friends that I have now is the best that I couldn ask for more. They wished me birthday together with a few simple words. But one thing I noticed in every single msg, a similarity of all the msgs that is two words, "Take care". I know how much they mean when they wish me this. I failed to realize all this while that they are all actually worried about me being here alone. They concern and they care which make me felt very touched. And I'm grateful to have all these ppl around me. I dont think I be a good friend to them, I didnt do much deed to them but they could make me feel so appreciated. Thank you very much and ouhhh well, I think you know who you are since you all make an effort to wish at midnight.

And to my coursemates who come over during the night, I appreciated that very much too. I didnt really expect that they will come because I dont think that they will know my birthday. I always been so quiet and a loner in class. It makes me more than happy to know that they could remember my birthday. Well, I think one could remember a person birthday is already a very big effort. It means you really treated that person as your friend and not just someone you go class with. Even better than just rmber, they came with cakes and sing me a birthday song. Thanks a bunch =)

And this my pre-celebration back in Mlcc.








Thanks alot for this surprise pre -celebration. I really didn expected it. I was so sleepy during the karaoke session that I was so blur when I heard TanMingMing sang the birthday song. I thought she was singing something else but how come it came to the birthday song. Then, I realized ChooChoo came in with the cupcakes. Very lovely Totoro cupcakes! *heart* ♥ For the first time, you guys did it very well. I had no idea about this at all. I really dont know that inside that red luggage bag was this cupcakes. I mean, I look at your bag, it's so flat. You told me it was maggi and stuff, I didnt suspect at all. And when ChooChoo went to her apartment to get the cupcakes, I thought it was really books like what she said. Hhahahhaha, you girls are big liar and great actress now. Hehehhe, thankyou very very much. You all have been my very best friend since secondary. And I know, our bond will never end *kangaroohugs*

Tonight's dinner no pictures available. Had the best dinner with fellow coursemates. I called them not treat but they still insist. It's really very sweet of them. I know the meal aint cheap which make me feel very very very thankful. And it's a very good bonding session with them tonight. We are so into the talking that we almost didn want to leave the place till the workers off the lights. It's all about the experience over here and how we became friends. I'm happy =)

Tmr, another dinner with a close friend of mine in KK. And then, Tuesday will be the official birthday dinner with the only hsemate, Casey (in case I didn mentioned her name before).

I feel that I'm so blessed at this moment. Thanks.
