Its my second weekend here in Sarawak.
Everything is pretty good for now :)
My body is keeping up with the extreme walking.
After 9 months of laziness, my body isn't like before.
Even walking in malls for 20 minutes is tiring enough for me :( 
So, yeah. Still trying to walk more :D

So, Happy Malaysia Day!
Since Malaysia Day falls on a Sunday, which means we have a replacement holiday on Monday and that allows us to explore the meow-meow city :D

Mr Pamap is such a wonderful man :)
He accompanied us throughout the day and he is really good in blending in with the youths.


We hit the road at 8.30am and went for mass at St. Joseph Church.
It is really a beautiful church.
I love the design and the classic look it puts out with all the wooden interior decorations :)



So, we started off with a mouth watering breakfast with porkiesss! 
Oh my Kolo-Mee!
How much I've missed you! T_____________T


how Kolo-Mee looks like :D

I never actually understood the meaning of desperation until I entered UNIMAS.

I'm like soooo desperate in getting these :

i) Wi-Fi
ii) Pork
iii) Chocolate cakes





And while driving, I actually noticed a couple of things.

 Sarawakians DO NOT HORN
- Imagine you want to stick your butt into another lane, or tried squeezing yourself between cars in a slow moving traffic. 

What will be the consequences in KL?

i) You get a super long horn.
ii) You get the death-stare.

Sarawak?

i) They give way, willingly.

Sarawak roads are potholes-free
- Since the first day I've arrived in Kuching, I have never seen a pothole and the roads are 'shiny'. I wonder why?

Back to my road trip.
After breakfast, we went over to Boulevard and did our shopping.
Bought so much of things that I was so scared the Viva will be overloaded. HAHA
Next destination?
The Spring. 
I would say the Spring is a replica of KL's Pavilion.
Many branded shops and all we could do is window shop :(
But, I still managed to get two cute tees at Rm 23 after a rebate of Rm 2.
And the best part is? The total was supposed to be RM 55 but well, thanks to Hari Malaysia, we have Hari-Malaysia-Sale! wee wang wang ^^V



Too bad, no size for boyf's tee.
If not, he would get a souvenir when I'm back :P Heh

I still cannot believe I drove on the highway-type-of-road for more than 30 minutes.
Cause usually my mind would have wondered off by then.
And that is why my parents and boyf wouldn't allow me to drive on a long journey especially on a straight road :P

Anyway, I'm still counting my days to get back to KL.
Its not like I'm home sick or I dislike Sarawak.
I just want to go home.

A Brand New Experience 

MAP : Minggu Aluan Pelajar aka Orientation

After checking into my new 'house' on Sunday at 3 pm, went for early dinner with parents and others for dinner at Cafe Kuning. Surprisingly, the food was really cheap.

Menu

Nasi Goreng Biasa : Rm 2.50

Nasi Goreng Kampung : Rm 3.00

Then, parents left and my horrendous week begin. 

On Sunday itself, MAP lasted up to 11:30 pm.

By the time we walked back and settled down to sleep, the clock strikes 1:00 am  :(

and so as Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Hated it so much!

Lack of sleep and mentally tired.

But Thursday, I started loving what we always do :)

We started practicing Allamanda's cheer.

Everyone was so cooperative and the cheer actually sounded soooooooo good!

Believe me!

We practice and practice and practice and finally on Friday night,

Allamanda's cheer rocked the entire 5-floor-with-5000-capacity-student hall!!

ALLAMANDA IS THE CHAMPION! *muka bangga*

woooooooohooooooooo!! :D 

See for yourself :P

(Allamanda Cheer Sep 2012)

Now, no more MAP and I'm actually missing it :(

Seniors are right.

We WILL enjoy and miss MAP although we will hate it at first.

HIGHLIGHTS

Sarawakian are really nice people and that make me realized how rude Semenanjung people could be.

A bunch of Malay girls being so rude and offensive as they show disrespect towards the voluntary seniors who probably slept later than us and woke up much earlier.

As the Liaison Officers (LO) are introducing themselves for our convenience if we need any help in the future, 2 different groups of Malay girl (with their accent, I'm quite positive that they are not locals) shouted.

"Dahlah! Dah pukul berape ni?!"

and continue to be rude until we're allowed to dismiss.

I agree that it was very late already, approximately 2:00 am,

BUT, that is not the way to behave!

Although we are tired, but they are even more exhausted.

FYI, we slept at 1:00 am and wake up at 4:00 am :) *for a week* 

Another highlight would be UNIMAS is the best!

We are provided with a minimum of 5 meals per day when other unis do not, and and and . . .

One of our meal?

KFC!

Like seriously, which uni provides KFC during orientation for 4000-5000 students?

UNIMAS!

I'm proud to say,

I'm a UNIMAS student and will always be proud of it :)

Introducing the ladies that kept me alive in UNIMAS :)

Thanks to them, I overcome home-sick and things aren't that hard or bad being away from home :)

From the right : Vynter , Me , Anna & Fifi :)

Kamek sayang kitak orang gilak gilak ♥

Sepang Gold Coast 

Bukit Tinggi ✓

The plan was to head to Sepang Gold Coast. 

After looking through the pictures provided by tourist, I decided to change venue.

I cannot imagine myself, strolling by seaside with lot of crabs and other tiny creatures.

Its not like I dislike them, its just I'm scared of them -.-

So, after google-ing for hotels, I've decided to visit Bukit Tinggi :D

Nice town isn't? :)

That's what I think too.

But the fact is that what you see in this picture, well yeah. That's it. 

You're looking at the entire Bukit Tinggi 

(not mentioning the animal farm, tea farm, flying fox and others that is about 5-10 min away from this town)

I was slightly disappointed.

I thought there were more streets, back lanes, more shops and stalls :(

CONVERSATION

me : Excuse me, mana ade ATM ye?

waiter : *ponder* Oh, Genting Highland!

* I thought he was joking and I asked again *

me : Huh? ATM yang paling dekat?

waiter : Ye ye. Genting Highland. Kalau tak nak gi jauh sangat, boleh pegi kat Mc'D kat kaki bukit Genting 

WTFFF?!

I've used up ALL my cash and the nearest ATM is in Genting.

What can be worse than this?

Before boyf and I have a look in the shops around, our first question is 

' Do you accept card? '

Answer : Sorry Sir / Miss. We only accept cash.

That's it.

With RM 10 left, we decided to buy some snacks and spend whatever we had left. 

So, to those who are planning for a vacation here, my sincere advise is :

1) You don't have to overnight if you're from somewhere near. A day trip is more than enough.

2) Bring lots of cash. Prices here are double or triple than the usual.

Enough with the complaining.

Nevertheless, it is still a very nice place to visit and to relax :)

The place we had our breakfast.

Boyf and I ate from 7am till 9am :P

*satisfaction* :P

We're at 3 storey high tower clock (^.^)

I was about to die when boyf asked me to climb.

Thank God there is lift, or else .... ><

Its not like I'm lazyy, but there's many many many steps upppp *faint*

He's wondering why Kampar cannot be as chill as Bukit Tinggi :P

Took a free shuttle to the Japanese Tea House and Botanical Garden :)

I love the way they decorated the place :)

I think this place cost up to RM 1k per night?

Boyf rented a kimono for me :)

Us :)

White Swan

You should see them when they dive into the water.

So elegant (*.*)

Black Swan 

They are either pitiful for not having enough food OR greedy for being fed too much.

You'll know why if you watched them eat :)

The night-life.

Nothing much left other than waiting for the performances at 9pm.

So we went for pool session :D

He and his snacks.

And before leaving :)

Overall, its a good trip and a happy holiday :D

Totally enjoyed myself as it was more to relaxing trip rather than playing around and getting tired.

Next trip?

SOON :D

Steamboat-BBQ-Buffet Marathon 

I'm a food lover.

And I love steamboat-BBQ buffet, until yesterday.

From 1pm-4pm, had it at Seoul Garden with my friend and students.

Sad to say, the price isn't worth what we ate.

Very very limited choice, and yet we ate for 3 hours (*.*)

I will never step my foot into Seoul Garden again.

With the price we paid, we can get much more variety at Shabu-One and other places.

Gave the kids homemade-fresh-fruit-mooncakes from Vivian and in return I got Hush Puppies tee from them :D

Then, at 4.50 pm, GuyEon fetched me with others and headed to Ampang for

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT-BBQ BUFFET.

When I knew what we're gonna have for dinner, I was like ... 'okayyy.'

Thank God, there were much more variety than Seoul Garden and the food wasn't too bad :)

Had what I dint at the previous restaurant until like 10pm.

Then we headed to Ampang Lookout Point aka Lil Genting in chinese.

Had their wine and spend a short while while there before heading to Vivian's house around 10.30pm

Now here is what I want to emphasize on.

It took us two and a half frigging hours from that bloody hill, all the way to Danao Kota.

Vehicles were crawling their way out from MRR2 and Jalan Pahang.

Worst part was, we needed toilet desperately.

When Mok entered the route heading to Jalan Pahang, Guy took the other alternative out.

And when we thought we have just outsmarted them, we got ourself caught in the bloody 3 min straight road for 45 minutes. WTFFFFF?!!

And the reason? 

Pasar Ramadan. 

I just cannot believe it when Vivian said its up to 3 AM !

Seriously?!!!

After spending about an hour at Vivian's, we left about 2 something and 

THE JAM WAS STILL THERE! *cry*

Lesson learnt :

- Do not go into town at night during fasting month.

- Do not go into Danao Kota at night during fasting month.

After one whole day of steamboat BBQ marathon yesterday, 

my mom is making steamboat today.

GOD HELP ME.

p/s : Boyf, no more steamboat again please :(

If there is one thing I have to agree with my mom on man's issues, is that Man can never have money.
I'm saying this because a man with no cash do not have the ability to either drink or spend on other woman.
But a rich man does. To them, as long as they have cash, it doesn't matter.
Wife wants a divorce? Go ahead. They're the one at lost.
But nowadays, no matter you're rich or poor, as long as you're a man, there is a higher possibility of you committing adultery compared to a woman.

I just don't understand human's greed.
Its normal to want something more than what you have.
But, if the choice you're going to make will only bring harm and upsets the people around you,
don't you have the conscience to stop?

Ask any woman.
Whether it's puppy love or not, none of them will agree to share a man with another woman.
Then why would you cling on to a married man? Worst part is if they already have children.
Are you proud to be called as a home-wrecker?
Are you happy to see kids growing up without father?
Are you comfortable to be seen as the third party in a relationship?

And men.
Once you've gotten into this shit, there is no return.
Even if you managed to end the affair and get back to your spouse,
will she be able to trust you like before?
Will she be able to love you just like before?

Once bitten, twice shy. They say.
But as for me, I believe once it has happened, there is a possibility of it happening again.
No matter how though a woman can be, they always seek security from a man.
If a man could not provide what she is asking for, then what is the point of keeping the relationship?

I don't believe in getting back together after one has cheated.
But based on stories I've heard, there are women who are willing to accept their husband again.
Whether its pure love, or for their children, I don't know.
But what I'm sure of is that these women will never trust their man like they did before.

So to all the men out there,
think twice harder before you cheat.
Trust is hard to gain, but easy to lose.














I detest man who commit adultery. 

Came across an article in The Star, dated 30th July 2012.
An old woman, 82 with 10 children had to collect plastics and so to support herself including her children, who are slow learners, age 51 and 39.

She wakes up early to collect used plastic, tins and papers and earns about RM10 per week.

Some might say,

  'I'm sure that many will donate'.

The question is, if everyone think the same, will she get any contribution?

If a person donates RM 10, 30 of us makes it RM 300.

That would be enough for a month's supply.

If its too much, RM 5.00 will do :)

Skip your tea-time & use that money to help this poor lady will you?

Let us make the world a better place to live :)

God bless! 


p/s : No matter how bad your situation is, you must provide for your parents.
They've done the same for us when we're just a child. Why cant we do the same for them?
Think about it. Its something commonly said, but still seen among the people.

Batch 12' :')

Every STPM student will start their job-hunt right after their major exam.
I mean, if you don't, what are you gonna do for 9 months?
So, I've considered promoter, clerical, and waitress.
But these questions started popping into my mind.

How long do I have to work if I'm hired?
I have to do the same thing over and over and over again for 9 months?

It was all because after SPM, I took up part time jobs for 4 - 5 months before enrolling myself into TARC.
But, in that period of time, I've changed 3 jobs. *laughs*

Reasons?
i) Because the other company kept on offering me higher pay.
ii) I'm bored of doing the same thing over and over again.
iii) I want experience.

So after doing all the consideration, I decided to take up teaching.
Well, since it might be my future occupation, I might as well start trying out now.
And indeed, I love teaching.
Its the sense of satisfaction I get when I'm able to make my students understand better.
Of course, I get some annoying, blunt, irritating and childish students.
But, what do you expect?
They are children.
Somehow, I managed to control my anger and kept calm the whole time :)
But deep down inside, I'm praying and looking forward to the day I'm quitting.

And now, the day I've longed for has finally arrived.
But, I dont feel nice.
Why? :(
I miss teaching the noisy kid.
I miss teaching the blunt child.
I just miss teaching them.

What made me felt worst was when the girl hugged me as a goodbye hug.
The boy promised to buy me dark chocolates.
And the others asked for classes until the final week before I leave.

Sigh.
I will always remember these kids.
Cause they are my students of batch 12' :')
