The smile in photographs

"Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures."

Most of the time, I dont take pictures. I will be in the pictures =) I'm not a photographer whom has the passion to the picture of wide nature in all different angles and setting. I dont take multiple angles of an animals or an object. I just enjoyed being captured in the pictures. I think most girls would love to see themselves pretty in their pictures and keep whole collections of it. I am the most girls too =)

Often when I look back at those pictures, I laughed. I realized it can be a good pass time just by looking back at all the pictures you have in your laptop. I laughed at how I used to look last time at funny hairstyle, ridiculous wearing, weird expressions and the most, those silly moment you have with your friends. The rship with a friend might be still as close as last time but the moment you had together is priceless. It's a good way of keeping memories.

And of course, photographs are significance to witness the growing process of ourselves.





Mum always told my younger sister,
"Why dont you take pictures? Whether you are ugly or fat now, you should take pictures. When you old, you will want to look back at how you used to look. It's a remembrance of yourselves. If you are shy now, you will not have the memory in future"



And mum said too,
"Where ever you go, you should take picture as a proof that you've been that place before. The next time you return to the place, you can see the difference"



Lastly, mum said too,
"You dont need a good camera to take pictures as long as you can see the pictures."

Okay for this, mum may just wanna save some money on the camera. But if you could see, there is a meaning in between the lines.

It's something you gained from the past, treasure at the present and miss it in future.

Monkey Fools.

Missing for days because of the marathon trips.

Ipoh-Penang-Cameron -Ipoh-Malacca.

That's the sum up route.

And the tripmates were the hsemates.

I bring my loyal PigRabbit along!
Very good pillow for the superb long hours road trip.

I almost forget when was the last time I travel 2 and a half hour by car. It was seriously a pain in butt. I should really bring laptop along and watch dramas like I always did in plane.

Now, the lovely destination.
Hello Penang! ♥


Crazy traffic as always.
In Penang, buildings change, road change but never for the traffic.

A must visit place,
Kek Lok Si.


Pray pray pray.
It dont do any bad.


The old tortoise at Snake Temple.
Shy tortoise. Unfriendly. Hide his head in when I said wanna shoot a pic with him!

The only thing I miss for Penang.
And I always miss it!
PENANG FOODDDDDDDDDDDD! =)=)



Chay kuay teow! Had this for continuous three days in Penang.
I'm still craving for it now! Grrrrr!


Penang most famous cendol.
Located at Lorong Kweng Kwee if I'm not mistaken.

Another tourism spot that we visited.
WAR MUSEUM



Well, most ppl said that it is haunted. I dont know. Luckily that they told me after visiting this or else, I will be the first one who pull them out here. I didn feel uneasy during the visit but most of my hsemates did. So, god bless them.

First advice:
DONT GO IF YOU ARE AFRAID!

Second:
GO WITH A POSITIVE MIND! =)

Just dont think of anything negative and eventually, it will be a happy visit.

Friendly reminder:
Bring fan and mosquitoes repellent.

Oh yah, entrance fees : RM30 (Malaysian) & RM75 (non-Malaysian)







Trip, a very good bonding session with family, friends or lover.
Even the shortest or nearest trip will has it value.
And photographs will be the best souvenir for trips =)

The divided junction.

Today is Wednesday, movie day. A movie with family could be the warmest activity to feel the joint between the family. At least, you could shared the same topic after the movie. It was all thanks to MingMing, my younger sis who insisted on watching this Kung Fu Panda 2. Well, this is my second time watching it but I still laugh out loud. Seriously, this movie is good. Even if to watch the third time, I think I will still laugh at the same part.

Three things adapted from this movie:

(1) Baby Panda was really adorable!



XIAO PO! Po when he was still a baby. It just make me feel like adopting a Panda now! He is just too round and chubby which make me feel like hugging him so much! Must be the best pillow on Earth.


(2) Inner peace.

Master Shifu : "Inner peace could be achieved by meditating for years without eating, drinking and bathing. Some sort of that. Or through pain."

Now when I think of it most couple who encounter break up may find some way to achieve inner peace through the pain of ending the rship. I know it sounds a little pessimist here but it just comes through my mind. So, one day if you can immune from breaking up depression, inner peace has been achieved! And you shall never be afraid of it anymore. You have a higher level of understanding in rship. So do to other conditions like studies or working.

But, I will rather meditate then!

No pain. Just omi-omi everyday.


(3) Meaningful quote.

Your story may not have such a happy beginning
but that doesn't make you who you are,
it is the rest of your story,
who you choose to be.

Very applicable! Keep this in mind for those who think you are a failure just because you failed at this point. Many things are ahead of us everyday, every minute. If you choose to believe you're a failure now and you'll be. So why not choose to believe you failing at this point is just a challenge for your better future. People eventually grow strong when overcoming obstacles.

Sweet Escape ♥

It's 1.24am now. My sis told me before that expert said that everyone will need to spend at least one hour in a day for themselves as a healthy lifestyle. In the one hour, the person should be alone and doing their personal stuff. No matter of listening to a song, watching a movie or simply checking facebook. It's an act of isolating the reality world and get in touch with yourselves everyday. If one didn not have time for the one hour, they will feel frustrated or unhappy.

Well, it's something that close to this. But when she told me this, I realized that it's true that everyday I will spend more than an hour for my own activity alone. Sometimes it's just more comfortable when you listen to music alone and best to blog alone. So to super busy person out there, spend an hour for yourselves. It's your life and you'll need to enjoy. Just an hour and you will refresh your mind then get work done more efficiently =)

This post is for the hearty bestie Wou Wou whom came KK to visit me on 22nd May till 31st May.
p/s: I like ppl from hometown to visit me or sent some letters or parcels for me. It's a feeling of being rmbered =)

So, I did some appreciation for her.
CUPCAKES!
Also, as a belated birthday celebration for her which was on 24April.

Officially 22 now!


Customized cupcakes from Boutique Cupcakes in KK.

Okay, that's all for today!
*Toddles!*

Thanks for the memories.

Dear hsemates of Ujana,

This is a chapter of all of you, the eight of us. It's been a wondrous year staying with you all. Life in Sabah would be a misery without the laughter and joy from all of you. We had been living like a family and I'm always the Mui Mui chan under the guidance of big brothers and sisters.




Still rmber we used to play monopoly cards every night that it had become our daily routine. Even in dream, we would thought of how to deal break and steal each other cards. During the dark night when electric gone, the games still goes on with candles. Not forgetting gambling is our favourite past time of all. Starting from CNY, we gamble till 15 of CNY. Everyday, poker, siam, lembu and black jack till our hse been labeled as the rumah judi.
The Fun Time.





When GuanSing camera is out, all of us become very alert with our looks as he would most prefer to take our ugliest moment as he collection. And most of us are great camwhorers with brilliant expression and ideas of caption. Of course, we always have our best model, Ka Yan as the lead.
The Silly Act.





Over time, we always had a moment where whole lots of conversation were out. I still rmber very well when we are all at Ka Yan and Fern room guessing why two couples break up. All of us gave the lamest and ever creative reasons. Seriously miss that sessions because all of us seems so silly!
The Silly Conversations.




The whole year round we have numerous birthday celebrations for all. Each of us will get our surprises and ugly pictures on that day. And the birthday girl/ boy will always get some special treatment. I got lock outside the hse and been acted as if an animal in zoo =( Yi fui get captured horrible pictures thanks to Mr.Heah. Well, Heah Kun got whole collection of wonderful pictures and water balloons =) It's really sweet to know that the hsemates will unite so much in preparing a birthday surprise for a person.
The Caring Thoughts.


I WONT FORGET THIS HEAH KUN!








It's really been a splendid year staying with the seven of you. Thanks for the fun time, silly act, silly conversations and caring thoughts. It's not easy to stay far away from hometown and parent. Often we would feel so lonely and isolated. And everyday we need to learn about adaption and independent. Adapt the new environment, new culture, new people and new weather. Everything in Sabah was strange to us but we just need to adapt. To adapt, we have to be independent and count on ourselves. When you're sick, there will be no mummy and daddy to make you porridge and bring you medicine. When you are lost, maybe the whole contact list in your phone will not be useful. We can only count on the people we know in KK. That is all of you.

Thank you for letting me to depend on you all one more year. You all had make my path studying in UMS a lot more easier. I know that all of you had been worrying of my third year in UMS. But dont worry. I will be able to make it through. It's time for me to learn to be more independent. Good luck in your future undertakings too! See you all in your convocation!

Thank you very much all of you =)

I love red =)

My new ♥ . Red ruby heart shape earrings from Vincci Accessories. I couldn stop myself from not buying this. Spotted a nice wings necklace and rose ring in Vincci Accessories too but this catches my heart the most. It's really a hearties! The image of this earrings on me is keep playing on my mind which I couldnt resist to not make it happen =) So, bought it and wore it immediately. This could proved my eagerness. However, so sad that it spoiled the next day when I adjusted the stick. Overflowing love toward this earrings get me to buy another identical one in Sban.

Then, I realized it sold only RM15.00 in Peninsula but RM16.90 in KK. I did realized that too that for rings, the price difference is RM3.00 and RM5.00 for shoes. Sigh. This would be added to the list of disadvantages of KK. Even shopping is more expensive. This what I had been complaining with the hsemates for past two years.

Missing bears.

Back to Seremban! ♥ ♥ ♥

Miss the bed.
Miss the blanket.
Miss the aircond.
Miss the television.
Miss the hot bath.
Miss the purple room.
Miss the PigRabbit.

Still in the Homesweethome mood now~
