Life in MMU

Melaka is super duper cold these days! 28degrees as shown from my desktop widget.

(Even lower in my opinion. *Shivers* )

This week was kinda busy and happening!

On Monday,we went to the long-awaited Christmas play by school's Christian Society!

 A story of hope. "More Than It Seems"

It was a great musical play, but i do prefer the previous years one hehe.

Cuz previous years had superb singers! This yr's singing was so so only.

But we can see that they'd put hard work in it *applause*

I'll definitely attend each and every Christmas play while im still in MMU! ♥

On Thursday, we had a booth to sell food at 园游会 around President Square!

Woke up super early for dim sum just bcause i have 10% voucher! =P

 Then went HanKai's hse to prepare the food.

Sliced the cincau and cooked herbal eggs.

Hey herbal eggs was super hard to cook okay dun play play!haha.

We bought the Yu Yan Sang herbal ingredients,boiled the eggs,smashed their shells(we had fun doing that) and cooked for approx 6 or 7 hrs!

In the mean time we tasted the soup,add this add that cuz its too plain dy and the McD salt we stole is not working right LOL

 Heres a glimpse of our masterpiece. Actually the taste didnt go into the egg itself.

When u eat the egg, it has egg taste only dun hav herbal taste, geddit?

But still tasty lah give it a C, passed =P

(And thx my hsemates for borrowing me the rice cooker ^_^)

 Our leader Cj~ Pouring the mayo into a container.

Treasurer HanKai. He noticed me snapping pics and this is the expression he gave me LOL

 While this guy here is having fun changing his hairstyle.

Looks old and wise with this look isnt he? not forgetting, funny! HAHA

 At 630, its time to open our booth!
The crowd actually comes at 730pm.

This is our speciality, salad You Tiao! ^^

Its a new way of eating You Tiao, just add mayo on the You Tiao.Not bad!

 Mixing with mayo. We dont have oven so the You Tiao got kinda cold and not very nice dy..

Plus the lemon juice we added in the mayo didnt went well with You Tiao at all LOL

My fren even thought the mayo was spoiled or something, got sour taste one hahahah!

But still, many thx to the creative way of eating, many ppl wanted to try it!

And it was selling like hot cakes!

Some did think that its nice lah kay like my sis =P thx for the support!

 Soya bean and Cincau also got really really good response!

Mainly due to the super cheap price! Each cup cost rm1 only.

Many ppl had little coupon left and they happily spent them at our booth hehehe!

Not to mention herbal eggs! 60 of them were all sold off already bout 8+pm! O_O''

 Couting our profits!

We'd earned much more than the maximum profit we expected!! ♥

 Our stall mascot haha.

Its actually a McD mini fan.

 Take pics of everybody!

Wenwen Tan did our banner. Cute isnt it hee.

Thats all for our selling experience! It was very time consuming and really tough.. From planing everything to making them work, from brainwashing on what to sell to negotiating with the suppliers, from setting out booth to handling crowd's demands lol. Our demand was really more than supply..
Making herbal eggs was a tough process lol cuz the soup was kinda plain and the taste didnt really go into the eggs. Plus we had to cook for so long. Selling things are really tough i'll definitely appreciate them next time! =P
But in the end we were happy that we can sell everything so fast and closed the booth(Im expecting worst comes to worst we had to finish the remaining eggs and You Tiao ourselves phew). Altho by the time we were free to roam around,theres not much things to buy dy. Next time i rather be customer haha. But no doubt, that was a pleasant experience (and we had earned enough for a nice meal HOHOHO~)

Friday night. Sis was randomly ranting about friday nights in melaka is boring in Twitter.
Winson replied her Twitter and suggested to go yumcha.
At 10pm later, me, sis, Kuhan and Winson were heading to town dy LOL
 At first we wanted to go MG cafe, the vegetarian cafe. But then its closed.
So we chose this!

 Heard alot of students like us singing there.

But then the cafe was kinda empty despite its Friday night O_o

 Lovely cup. We played cards there.

The singers were so so only and the cafe was not really fun.
Now we know why the cafe is empty. yikes

Frog spotted. Haha

We were chatting there and suddenly thought of sing k.

Then we exited the cafe and headed to Gogo at 11pm LOL super random sial

We sang bout 2 hours and its really fun. We never came out in this combination before hahaha and it was a fun night.
Twitter > Frog cafe > Gogo sing k LOL

On Saturday, me and my sis went cny shopping! We're getting nervous as we havent buy our cny clothes!
Well its not like we gonna really celebrate cny since our damn final is right after it, but new cloths for new year is a must!! =D
So the 2 of us rent car and off to DP!
Luckily still got some sales, we managed to hunt for what we want!
This was our tea time + Dinner ♥

 Nadeje's Monotone cake and long black tea.

The cake was very nice! It kinda reminds us of Chocolate Indulgence of Secret Recipe.

 Sis's katsu don set. Niceeee.

I love the chicken cooked in japanese way!

Like Nadeje, Sushi King, Sushiya etc etc.

Toriniku no ajitsuke karaage wa oishii desu neh~ =D

My noodles. They cook tasty noodles too!

This set was kinda cheap and most importantly, its very delicious!

At night, Lance asked me wanna go try out squash anot.

So i went to c if squash was fun =D pity my fren(who is kinda pro) couldnt make it to teach us.

When we reached the court bout 8pm, afew malay girls were playing.

So we waited and waited til like 9:15pm only they let us play =(

 Thats Lance and Wan Fen.

 We simply played. Lance had tennis base so he can play really well haha

And taught us the basic (He searched YouTube on how to play squash beforehand haha)

 My shoes and the squash rackets.

Messy hair.

Squash was quite fun but its abit tiring cuz u have to swing the racket hard.

Kinda like tennis but i think tennis harder as u hav to run the whole court for the ball lol

But its totally diff from badminton since u cant bend ur wrist if not u'll get hurt easily.

All the sport courts are free to play on weekends. 

Next will be tennis, shall we? ^_^

Consolation

At the pondok outside MMU library yesterday.

The weather was super nice and pleasant sunlight penetrating through the trees
It really feels like cny has decided to come a month earlier!! ^_^

I know i might seem emo sitting there by myself, but i wanna celebrate the good weather mar =P
And sadly none of my frens came for the class, so i sat there alone lor~

"Its not if u think its not, it is, when u think it is.." heehee

I dont show it doent mean it doesnt exist.

I hid the another side of me very well.

(The hand is abit cacat there. I sketched on my notes so dont mind the wordings :) )

Awhile ago, a friend of mine msn-ed me, and told me shes feeling very down.

On the outside, she looks cheerful, always wearing a sweet smile and have lotsa friends.

But deep down inside, shes not confident enough, she doesnt have a fixed gang.

This problem is very familiar to me, iv been through it.

Everyone has to go through a life stage which is to struggle with ur own identity, downfall and feeling hopeless.

Just cheer up, find something to give u confidence like being excel in studies, any sports or even take up a hobby.
Dont skip classes cuz u'll feel more emo at home alone doing nothing.
Go out, have some fresh air, dress urself nicely and go to school.
Mix around with people so that u wont think of negative stuffs.

And don't bottle them all up, u'll burst someday.

Find somebody to talk to, and if u cant, blog about ur problems, tweet it or even write everything down in ur diary.

U'll feel better as long as have an output.

Yes, friends are important. 

Particularly for people like me, who doesnt have their stand and super easily distracted by the environment.

Good or bad friends mean alot to me.

I need company, im not as strong as i look.

Just that iv been through that much,

Sometimes i cant find any good company, i'd rather be solo.


This year, i promise myself i'll be a better human. ♥

Pictures

Evening sun blazing through Melaka's cloudless sky.

This is the view from my apartment :)

MMU, and its ragged field. They wanted to sort of rebuild our field and running track,

but it had been a couple of months botak like this dy lol.

Once upon a time, alot of IS used to play football there under the beautiful evening sun, and their cheers and claps can be heard from my apartment. ^_^

And now, =_=

And this is the view right outside Ixora.

The whitish cover is the route where we always take to go to MMU one.

Hey and btw, anyone interested in investing??

Ixora is going to build another 2 blocks behind to cater for the students and they're opened for investors hahaha.

Woke up early today as i had a morning paper.

Had to burn midnight oil yesterday cuz im too distracted at home for weekends,

didnt really did some study..

But luckily, besides the theory part which i missed, all else were easy!

Now im finally done with my super long midterm tests! Yayyy!

And its assignments turn now..sigh

Cant believe this Friday is the last day of year 2010!

Time flies indeed!

It feels like 2010 just arrived and now 2011 is around the corner already!

And...so fast,im 21 years old already..

I dont look like 21 at all lor, 18, more like.haha.

Btw, heres how we count down-ed Christmas!

We went Kenshington for a Christmas feast.

 Champayne for the night. Cheers =D

 Amazing starter, Cheese baked prawns and fry squids.

Definitely as nice as they look!

 The main course!! Delicious macaroni and....

 TURKEY!!! Turkey was damn damn nice hehe!

Appetizers for a happy ending!3 layered pudding!

Steph, Amelia, ah Hann, still got ah Fu and me ^_^

First time eating a proper Christmas dinner outside with friends. Turkey was super delicious!!

But guess how much it cost?? That set was meant for 2 person.

And it cost rm45 per person!! Omg which dishes cost that much T_T

Turkey? The turkey was so small portion..The champayne also wont so expensive wad T_T

Ahh nvm, that wont dampen our Christmas mood also weee~

As for Christmas, we only gather at our fren's house and spent the night catching up on each other :)

#To like a person its easier to be said than done.

If u like a person, u tend to wanna know more about the person as much as possible, possibly every single thing about that person.

AND i dont see that in you. So you dont have the right to say that.

You're just being superficial. Just like 3 years ago.

Words of encouragement

Don't let anyone comes in your way.

Your life is yours and stop comparing with others.

Dont blame on others for your down fall.

Be determined and work hard for your goals.

Its you alone against the world now.

Sporty, bubbly, knowledgeable, superficial?

Will make my path clear ;)

Reminiscence of the Past

Morning!
Well i've been very into a song lately.
I went to help sis in her sewing class the other day and our friend opened a really memorable song which iv quite forgotten.

Still remember the sad japanese drama which was once very famous during our high school time - One Litre of Tears?
And the best song in that drama is March 9!
This vid is the scene where Aya as conductor for her class choir and they sang this very song.

Touching right. Actually i didnt get to finish the episode tho. Left last few episodes.
But iv known how the ending will go so its ok hehe.
The whole show was super touching sial and ur not human if u dont cry for the drama!
Theres a scene in the drama, where Aya had already known her sickness and she cried out into the sky. " God, im still young and theres plenty of things that i wanna do in this world!!"

Sigh.How good isit if we live today like theres no tomorrow?
And we'll accomplish whatever that we wish to do and wouldnt take things for granted..
We will not procrastinate, instead, we will cherish the remaining time and utilise them well.
Life is like this. You live now and you'll never know what happen next.

Well, apart from that meaningful drama, the song carries another memory to me too.
Its our final year in our high school ACS and a friend of mine proposed to sing this song for our graduation ceremony.
As this drama is quite famous at that time and we all loved it!
And so im very glad too and practice to sing that song every day.
However, at the end we changed our graduation song into Friends Forever by Vitamin C and At the Beginning by Richard Max and Donna Lewis due to the difficulty to sing in japanese haha.
When i listen to both the songs will also make me recall back the time where we practiced the songs in class with our friends!
We wrote the lyrics with chalk on the blackboard and practiced the song with the entire class.
That was the best days in high school! ^__^

I miss all our "Gu-family" members!!
And...about the origin of how we got our Gu-Family name, Krystal was the creator of it lolz.
One day she was bored and nicknamed all of us with the word ''Gu'' behind our names and so thats how we got the group name. Well its just a figure of speech la we didnt really want the name hahahaha..
Heres afew high school pics (dont doubt, i was that noob in high school. Who wasnt,right?? HAHA)

The original "Gu-family" members.

From left: Fu,Krystal,Sis,Hann,Me and Amelia.

Took this during our PBSM camp at Ulu Bendul.

Omg noobness overload! hahahaha!

This was during a PBSM ceremony we had to perform for the graduating senior members.

And the performance was DANCE! Still remember its Pussycatdolls - Button.

And we erm kinda screwed it up hahaha sry seniors!

This happens when a bunch of noob juniors got forced to go up stage to perform haha.

And this was during 2006 Christmas at a friend's open house!

I have no idea why my hair looks so cacat here.

Oh well, high school still rocks hahahaha.

In the middle of discussing our water rocket project..

I look super nerdy here!

Teacher's day and Joyce's bday.

I dont rmb our class was that messy O_O

Pn Fong,chemy teacher as well as class tcher was our favourite teacher of all time!

One of our graduation picture! Spot me if u can!

High school life was truly fun and carefree..

Altho we prefer our previous high school, S2 than ACS, but those 2 schools had taught us different things.

In S2, we were the first batch to the newly opened school and thus,everything was new and we had no seniors to guide us. We WERE the seniors. haha

The school was huge (all malay schools are huge -_-) and clubs and societies were generally not very active.

The students there consist of many malays, quite many chinese too and afew indians.

Then, we came to ACS for form4 and 5. A tiny Christian school with majority of chinese and few indians, malays were lesser.

The mindsets of ACS people were kinda complicated.

However, their clubs and society were very strong and always brought back trophies.

And now, everyone is in every corners of the world, working their way to better futures.
Hope we can still reunion in the coming christmas and cny hehehehe!

Im back!!!

Its killing him

There was once a spectacled, short and curly haired girl who lived through high school without much confidence..She didnt even dare to look a guy straight in his eyes..She was lost, couldnt find her way in life and was always kinda neglected in the shadows..

In university, some of her friends treated her really well. She loved the feeling, of being cared and being loved..She just want everyone happy and didnt bother of what she really thinks..But deep down inside,she didnt believe in true love, she felt insecure in relationships, so she never wanna get involved in one.

There was a guy,who treated her really well and did many things to make her touched. August 8th, 2009. On this fateful day, the guy came to the girl's house and finally asked the girl what he wanted to ask for so long. The girl hesitated, and asked him to go back home to wait for her answer. And when he got back and called the girl, she said yes. And they had been dating ever since..He is one guy that accept for who she is. She can tell him whatever she feels, whatever problems she faced whether in school, friendship, or even family matters. He understands her, when shes quiet or when shes chirpy.

However, its a long distance relationship. The only good thing is that both of them lived in the same state,just about 15 to 20mins journey apart..This is the first time for both of them.As the relationship goes, many problems arised. All these while, the girl didnt really care for him like a gf should.She just take everything for granted. But the guy accepted her faults and take the blame on himself. Maybe he's not good enuf?Maybe he shouldnt doubt his gf?Maybe he should be more considerate instead of demanding more from her?
As for the girl, she noticed the problem too, why isnt she care her bf like a gf should? Why she didnt feel like finding excuses to spend more time with her bf instead of trying to get back home when the day is late? Why doesnt she miss him when they are miles apart?Why doesnt she bookmark her bf's facebook page and stare at it just for the sake of easing the pain of being apart?Why doesnt she remembers her bf's phone num so that she can still contact him when her phone ran out of battery?Why isnt she who count the weeks til the next date?Why she didnt count the "monthssary" like others do?Why doesnt she thinks of her bf everytime she saw cute things? These are all her doubts..But she kept these thoughts to herself and nvr uttered a single word to another human..She thought time can change everything and hes a good guy, she should feel blesssed of having him.

The last date had reminded her of the problem..He wanted to watch a movie with her but her sister also wanna watch afew movies with her too. And she was cruel and chosen her sister and they ended up didnt watch any movies. Naturally, the boy felt kinda sad and angry and she can see that from his face. The date ended badly. The girl went home and thought for really long, and think that the problem must be solved.Tomorrow will mark 1 year and 4 months precisely, but she hasnt sure of her feelings for him. And this is a really big problem..The girl couldnt offer as much as he contributed in the relationship.If this goes on, she couldnt imagine how much more she will hurt him.

7 december 2010.He came to the her house to return the Harry Potter book she had borrowed him, and also the key chain she had given him.He held her like its the last thing he can do to get back her,but she just cant stop crying..She knew she had hurt the guy so deep.The guy who loved her so much,who will forgive every single mistake she did, who changed so much to protect her, who put her above all else and..even dreamed of marrying her someday..

But she couldnt turn her back on these problems.. If the same thing happen in the future, like they're already 2 or 3 yrs together?It would certainly kill him more..Its not that she didnt try, 1 year and 4 months was really long..And definitely,it isnt the guy's fault..The guy had been too perfect, just that he hadnt find the suitable girl that deserves him..
And the girl was wrong..she shouldnt accept anyone based on just a slight move of her heart..False hope could blossom into great mistakes..And she shouldnt shut all those things inside by herself.She was too greedy and wanted too many things and ended up hurting the last man she'll want to hurt in this world..


Its a long distance relationship and our love doesnt have strong base..I cant pretend these problems nvr existed anymore..I dunno how to make u feel better, everything i said seems like breaking ur heart further into pieces.Nothing i said could save us from the fallout.. Just let God decide should our future intercept..im sorry and take care.
