Sibu and my Beloved Ipoh

Just before i stepped my feet back to Ipoh, I got a chance to go to this small town in Sarawak, Sibu.

It was quite a nice trip as an eye opening experience. Sibu can be said as a small small town just beside the famous Rajang River. Due to its location, the land there was super soft. Therefore, the roads there were quite uneven.

I have the chance to enjoy a movie in a super traditional and antique cinema. Or perhaps I shouldn't call it a cinema, it was like an old theater. There was only 10 people in the cinema watching the movie. Break my personal record of watching in a 16 people cinema. COOL.

I also get to get a chance to have a tour to the biggest temple in South East Asia if I am not wrong. The temple was really really big. There were many single building structure around the area. I really like the decorations there. Along all the so-called fences, there was many craving of pictures where each and everyone of it is different from one another. I also saw a nice chrch which looked like a hotel to me too. It looked so white and nice. Beautiful and creative decorations located in the city. Cool

A visit to 1 of the modern long house. It was my first time but I intended to visit those traditonal long house which I think will be even nicer than those modern one. Hees. There was this super BIG market located in the town area too. It was so big that there was a specific parking lot just for the market too. It was said to be the largest wet market in Malaysia. There was so many large things and building in the Sarawak. Haha.

Another things that amazed me was the food there. Although it wasn't really something that was really nice but those food was really different. And special too. Kompia, teng bian hu, egg cake and etc etc.. I also got to eat a superbly big prawn which was basically even longer than my palm. Haha. It was nice. Yummy..

One conclusion that I made after my visit to Sibu was that almost all houses in Sarawak were super big. Those land which was almost the size of a few basketball courts. LOL. How can this be?? I also want to be like them. Haha.

I seriously wanna thanks Linda's parents to give such great hospitality and treatment to us. Woww. It was really really an awesome trip. THANKS!!!!





And I'm FINALLY BACK TO IPOH now.. HAHAHAHA

Ipoh-ku

Weather had been really really bad lately. I just can't stop myself from loving and hating it. The rain doesn't seems to stop somehow. It's like an alarm which had been set the time.. Once it reach a certain time, it will automatically rain. The rain just make everything so cool and chilly which make me so comfortable. However, the rain always stop me from doing many things.

When we are alone, everything seems to pop up in our mind. Now I understand the importance of fellowship. Friends do help alot but they won't always be at your side to support you. I mean really really by your side and support you for everything.

Things do change. I can't stop myself from saying this but things o change. And definitely, we can't stop things from changing. So just let Him handle everything. Faith~~

I had finally finish my exam. Now waiting for my time to go back nie. Ipoh.. It's been awhile since I had step my feet on the beloved hometown of mine. I miss everything there. IPOH~~~ I'm coming soon. Wait for me!!

And it's raining now as well. The weather express my feeling~~

1st post for 2010

~It's Done~

Adios 2009!!

It’s really really long since I blog. Been busy with my assignment and also because there is one kind feeling within me that asking me not to blog so much though I have lotsa things to blog about. =P So now here I am now..

Yea, there is this one thing that I wanna stress about. It’s the movie ‘Avatar’.. It was superb nice… Those animation, graphic and storyline… WOW… Meaningful storyline.. Even the Pastor in the church also can relate his sermon to the movie. Haha. It was definitely worth it for me to go for a late midnight movie on that day… Didn’t regret going for it.

The moral assignment really almost take my life away.. Doing on the topic on ‘Suicide’ almost made me wanna suicide as well. Been cracking my head to do it. It caused me so much of my hair.. arghhhh…. Need to visit Yun Nam Haircare… hahaha.. Finally no more assignment now.. Just left with presentation and final exam nie.

This was the 1st year that I celebrate Christmas in East Malaysia.. And also the 1st year I joined for Christmas caroling. It was so embarrassed at the beginning caused we were basically performing in the town.. From shopping complex to shopping complex. Haha. But it was a nice experience to be remembered. Christmas Eve was boring but on the real day of Christmas, I went out almost the whole day. Hees. Went to The Spring (Shopping Mall opposite my uni) to see fireworks and for countdown as well. I saw Sarawak BB.. It reminds me of those days when I was serving back in company.. Community Service.. There was this urge in me to go and say Hi to them, but eventually I didn’t do it.. Too paiseh.. haha.. Straight after the firework, I went back.

The next day was a nice experience for celebrating Christmas in Sarawak. Went to church in the morning.. Then Christmas lunch. Didn’t managed to get any prize.. Not my day after all. =] Got a chance to visit Zac’s house.. His house was so cool.. It was more like those kampong style house near to the city. Or it should be said, in the city. I can’t believe that he rear pigs. Haha.. His cousin was super cute and hyperactive. Chubby.. Created all the laughter in the house. Then at night pulak, went to Natalie’s house. I can’t believe that she actually invited me to go because I wasn’t really close to her. Blessing!! Haha. Thanks for the invite, Natalie. The Shepherd’s pie that her mum made was super delicious.. The two later mashed potatoes with minced meats in between it really an eye opening experience.. oppsss. Should say, taste buds opening experience. Haha. Managed to eat turkey for Christmas this year. Wakaka. And something really different this year, I drank alcohol.. =P shhhhhh.. eh, I’m not underage d leh. No need to be so secretive. XD Drank XO (40%), red wine, white wine…. The XO was so so so so hard to drink. It haven’t even enters my mouth, I already can smell the bitterness of it. George’s whole body was so red after he drank those alcohols. Haha.

New Year is just around the corner… This year seems so fast for me. It feels like I didn’t really do much thing this year. No matter how short this year is, all those times that I had went through will always be memories that shall never be forgotten. There were only three main things that happened to me this year. Working in church, Form6 and also here, in Sarawak.

I still remember I went to work in church in the beginning of the year with Ph’ng. Those experiences were really great. How well did we work together, teasing each other, driving out for lunch, cracking out brain for BB activities, burning our skin under the hot and mighty sun, playing the PA system in church, folding bulletins, etc etc. wow.. Those experiences were really unforgettable. I started to miss Ph’ng.. It’s been a while since I saw him. The little chipmunk that is so cute.. When you look at his face, you will definitely know that he is harmless. haha

Form6 was really a hell and heaven experience. At the beginning, I really thought that I will end up there and finish up my STPM there.. I still remember the 1st day I step into 6RB. The environment was so tensed. Everyone looks so foreign to me except for those of my ex-classmates. When I enter in with Kinwai, there wasn’t any place left in the middle so we were force to sit at the side. Surrounded by 4 foreign girls in front and back of us. Jin was beside us. Then eventually, one by one, all left the class.. 1st was Ee Xin, then Kin Wai, Jin and the last one was me.. I really didn’t regret entered form6 although it was just awhile.. The most unforgettable thing at that time, were those new friends that I met there. Sokwai, Bubu, Yiwen, Ben, Yeesan, Kaylynn, and the list goes on.. Those moments that we spent together will only be mere memories for me to be remembered forever.

Stepping my foot in a foreign land was totally a new experience and new journey for me. Kuching, Sarawak. It the 1st time I sit on a plane. I believe that God send me here for a purpose and that’s why I am here now. Another new bunch of friends here. Communication here was really a problem for me. They speak in mostly 2 dialects, mandarin and hokkien, which both are a problem for me. It’s never been easy for me to adapt to the new environment here. It was hard to have a peaceful life here with ‘bullets’ flying everywhere. Been struggling so much. Nevertheless, I will keep on fighting to survive. Since I came here, I had been growing a lot in term of physically, mentally and spiritually.

Friends have been asking me about my New Year resolution but my answer to them was just a simple smile. I never had any New Year resolution. It was because I never try to make any effort to achieve those resolutions that I had made. So I do not find any reason for me to make any New Year resolution. Or maybe I have one. One and the only one, ‘to enjoy while suffer’. As simple as that. LOL

Today is the last day of 2009. And here am I writing the last post for the year of 2009.

Signing off.

So be it...

There are alot in my mind but yet those words just couldn't be express easily like how I want it to be. God created us with complicated structure compared to other living things. With this complicated structure especially our sophisticated brain, we can think differently. I know that He made us in such a way because He wants us to make a different to others but yet I wish that life could be much more simpler so that I do not need to think so much.

I have been thinking thinking and thinking again.. Everything started to make sense but yet I refused to believe. Problems arose one after another. I'm getting weaker and weaker day by day. I feel like letting it go and let nature takes place. But after all, is it because of me thinking too much and makes everything become so complicated that bring me into this position.

I felt like I had been lied times after times but yet I still hoping that I'm crawling in my dreamland and waiting for the time to wake up. All the promises were again mere lies. I can't blame it on you after all based on the rule of utilitarianism. There is no right or wrong in everything that you do.

Things change, don't they?? We can't stop the world from changing. It's part and parcel of life. It's always me that doesn't want to accept the changes happening all around me. So, I shall throw this word out again that "I don't care". By this way, it at least make me feel a little better. I really hate hurting others so I decided to hurt myself rather to hurt others. "If you want others to love you, first you must let others to hurt you"

I have been getting alot of teaching, life teaching, lately. I feel like uneasy about what I have been doing. I found out that I had not doing much things about it and keep on falling deeper into it. I reflected on myself. i think that the problem lies on myself after all. Now i understand the importance of fellowship. It really does help. I shall lay my burdens onto your shoulder and leave it onto you.

Life is hard.

=)

Let's rewind back what had happened previously.

My time that suppose to be my summer holidays is now packed with classes. I'm now stucked in summer sem. I have to do my Malaysian Studies and Moral Studies. Just finih my 1st week of class for summer sem. It was EXTREMELY boring. What taught in Malaysian Studies are basically all that we had learned in our History throughout Form 1 to Form 5. ~Paleolithic/Stone Age - Malacca~ Moral Studies is even worst. It's totally different from the things that we learned in our high school. More about philosophy stuffs which are superbly sophisticated. Those terms and words that were used are not for human. I repeat, IT"S NOT FOR HUMAN. ~Deantology Ethical Theory bla bla bla theory~ Eventually, Moral class wasn't as bored as Malaysian Studies. The lecturer at least add in some jokes which made us even colder which is a good way to keep us awake. Haha.

Just the 1st day of the release of New Moon, I went and watched it with a few friends of mine. The movie wasn't as bad as I had expected. Heard from yeesan that the director of New Moon is not the same as Twilight. No wonder there was so many kissing scenes in New Moon. Haha. Guess what. Those girls especially those underage girls are so obsessed with Robert Pattison a.k.a Edward. When he appeared for the first time in the movie, everyone was screaming at him and it makes me so irritated. For goodness sake, we were there to watch the movie, not him alone.

Yesterday was my roomate's and also Yiwei's birthday. LOL. Wish them Happy birthday. We planned a suprised birthday celebration for him. He was really suprised at the end when we suddenly appeared with a cake in front of him when he thought that we forgotten his birthday. Good planning and preparation. =) Unfortunately for me, the venue for the birthday celebration was in my room. As usual, 'cake throwing' will be a ceremony that is needed for every birthday celebration. So you can imagine how horibble my room will be after the celebration. And the main point was, they all were aiming at my bed... It was just my bed that got 'shot' the most. One word to describe them, 'MONSTERS'. Not only my bed, my shoes, slippers, wardrobe, chairs, hangers..... However, they were monsters with hearts. After everything came to an end, everyone did gave some of their efforts to help up to clean our room. =)

Today. I got a chance to sit on a van to go the city centre with a bunch of friends. Our 1st intention was to go to the PC Fair. The PC Fair here was rather small even compared to Ipoh. So ignore the comparison between Kuching and KL. Definitely here will lose thousand miles behind KL. Haha. Since everything here were already expensive compared to Peninsular, so eventhough it was a PC Fair so the price was actually considered as the normal price back in Peninsular. Didn't managed to buy lotsa things due to the guilty-ness in us that prevent us from buying stuffs.
