CNY Day Two, Three & Five, Six

Since there is nothing much to say my recent life, let's continue to talk about CNY..

CNY Day 2 & 3:

 Every year CNY, going back to my mother's father's hometown, Kampar, is a custom for us.. Except for last year.. I forgot the reason my family did not go back to Kampar last year.. This is my youngest granduncle's house.. From the left, my youngest granduncle, my 4th granduncle, my 6th granduncle and *deng deng deng deng* my grandfather..

Selfie is a must in every occasion.. Ya. we had "lou sang" again.. This year I had "lou sang" for almost five times? Many times but I can't remember the exact amount.. 

1st day had a picture with his own father and this time he had picture with his father-in-law.. My father enjoys going back to Kampar because he can play mahjong with my granduncles which are also his "mahjong kaki-s" and also he can have men-talk with my granduncles..

This picture was taken by my uncle who is very close with me.. I kinda like this picture not because of the model in this picture but because of the lightning in this picture and this picture is "natural"..

Ya.. My cousins, siblings and I learned to play mahjong this year.. But we are not experts yet.. And no money was involved..

We stayed there for one night in my youngest granduncle's house.. His house during daytime was super hot and stuffy but when it comes to the night, wow, it was cooling without the air-con.. We went to many places to "bai nian" and received quite a number of "angpaus".. But the most important thing is gathering, talking and reunion with the kins..

CNY Day 5 & 6:

Ok.. It came to the days that I quite anticipate the most.. This year CNY was a little bit special for us.. Usually during CNY, my father will bring us to local trip.. But this year, we didn't go anywhere, we just go on a cruise.. First time to sit,sleep,walk and have fun on a LARGE cruise..

This is Penang Second Bridge.. We were taking this cruise by taking the package trip.. RM 350 per person.. We sat on the bus for a few hours.. To go through this bridge, driver has to pay toll for RM 25 for bus, RM 75 for lorry and only RM 7 for car.. Nothing special about this bridge.. It was just that we can have sea view, both sides design of the bridge are special and it is long..

Then the tour guide stopped us at a side to take pictures.. My parents, father's friend and wife on the left and my aunt and her hubby on the right..

We went to the snake temple.. The weather her is super hot.. I wonder why every year CNY, the sun will be super scorching.. This temple has nothing special.. It was just a normal Chinese temple but the uniqueness of this temple are the (1) stair up to this temple has many many beggars sitting on the sides of the stair, waiting for your money and (2) there is a room in this temple that has almost 10++ snakes and a huge snake waiting for you to spend some money and take picture with them..

What a coincidence.. During our arrival, we saw lion dance which was having performance in this temple.. For almost 7 years, I haven't watch any lion dance performance in KL.. This Chinese performance is going to disappear soon.. The funny thing was, when the lion dance was performing, the beggar who was sitting on the stairs waiting for donation, used his "SMARTPHONE" to take pictures of the lion dance.. Beggar can afford a smartphone.. Rich beggar..

We waited at the pier for almost an hour to enter into the cruise.. While waiting my cousin, Xuan, sis and I took many ugly selfie.. One of it is this picture.. Tien's phobia..

This is the cruise that we took.. One of the cruises that is belong to Genting.. It's name is Libra.. My zodiac ^^

                           

We took pictures at the aisle..
The cruise was not only large but long long long..

We don't gamble.. There was nothing to play in the cruise.. We were bored and so we decided to go for karaoke together.. Talking about karaoke, we had a weird and new experience.. Mr.Egg likes singing and he has a very nice voice.. So that day he sang as usual and due to his good singing, an uncle invited him to sing with him.. Two tables treated us drinks and food.. Thanks to Mr.Egg, we have strangers treating us and we were full and happy.. 

Because we were singing without realizing the time passing, we ended our singing session at 2 something, took a quick sleep and woke up at 5 something just because of this: sunrise.. Beautiful Mother Nature..  It was worth for taking away our sleeping time for this..

It is raining heavily now.. The thunder's sound is scary.. Making me no mood to continue to blog = =

Oh, before I forget, there is something that is worth for me to mention..

~ I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED DRAFTING MY CHAPTER 1~ 

Now I am waiting for Huzaina to comment about my Chapter 1.. But i have sent this draft for several days, until now no reply from her yet..

Chinese New Year Eve & 1st Day of CNY

Can't believe that Chinese New Year is coming to an end soon... Still remember how mum and I were talking about the unhappening ambience of this year CNY few weeks before the arrival of this festival... CNY is mostly about reunion and gathering among family and friends... Although I prefer Christmas than CNY, CNY makes me feel warmth and love among my family members... To me, Christmas is about appreciation while CNY is all about warmth and reunion...

CNY Eve:

During CNY Eve, it is a custom for Chinese to have reunion dinner with the family... I had dinner and "lou sang" with my family too... From the left: my eldest uncle, my grandma and my granpa...

After dinner, we had our second round activity which was playing fireworks in my grandma's house... Children's favourite and adult's favourite, regardless of age... These are my siblings and cousins... Either maternal's side or paternal's side, I am the eldest on both sides...

A corner of my mum's decoration for CNY... My mum is good at decorating and cleaning house... I didn't inherited this talent from her...

HAMPERS~~~ Every year CNY, it is a must for my mum to receive numerous of hampers from the parents of the babies that my mum takes care of and of course from Mr. Egg...

1st DAY of CNY:

As usual on the first day of CNY, we will only go to our maternal and paternal grandparents' houses... Started from last year, I make it as a practice to take selfie with my family... I considered this a "failed" selfie/family picture... We tried to take family picture for twice but both pictures are not "well-taken" pictures... We wanted to try to take again but my dad lost his patience in taking photos = =

This year CNY, I hope to take more pictures among my family members... I think my dad seldom takes picture with his parents or siblings unlike my mum... My mum and her sisters... Her sisters love to take pictures... This picture was taken by my sister... My father & his father... Two lovely smiles and two look-alike faces...

These are my aunties... My grandmother (my mum's mother) gave birth to 6 children and these are the six... Started from the right is my eldest aunt and up to the sixth is my youngest aunt...

This year CNY is a little bit special because we went to an old folks home at... I forgot the name of the place... My father and two of his friends went to this place... We bought a few sacks of rice for them... This was my first time to visit an old folks home... This place is stuffy... The old people here looked blue... I saw an old granma who was wearing a pampers only at the bottom without any pants/shorts... I talked to her a little bit and she was happy when I approached her ^^

Lou sang with my mother's family..

This February is a happening month for me... It is not only because of CNY, Valentine's Day but February is also a month when my mother was born... 

Much to talk and to be continued... Maybe later or tomorrow? Depending on my mood and idleness ><

情人节快乐

2月14 号 是爱情很浓郁的一天。这一天也就是给机会给不浪漫的目睹的男生变浪漫买花买礼物给自己最爱的女生。这一天也就是花店生意最好的一天。

今天不浪漫的他也变起浪漫来了。我就知道他是一个目睹的男人。如果我说情人节男生要送女生玫瑰花，他这几年到永远，都只送玫瑰给我。我想要一点不同的。所以我暗示他，太阳花很美。我喜欢。果然， 在昨天，他送了花给我，可是不是太阳花，而是太阳花的弟弟，我不懂那种花是什么名称。他不是个爱show浪漫的男生。所以昨天，为了给我所谓的“浪漫”，他竟然紧张了起来。他还送了一张卡片给我。可是最搞笑的是，他竟然怕他自己的字很丑，所以就叫花店老板帮他写卡片里面的字。那老板的字也好不到那里去 = = 我其实都不介意他字丑。反而我很喜欢这种有心意的东西。就是因为那卡片，我眼泪掉了。我很怕收到这种我平常说的“恶心的东西”而不是因为我觉得恶心而是我知道我自己是个爱哭鬼，我又不喜欢别人看到我哭，所以我就称这些有心意让我感动的东西为“恶心”。

平常的我，很爱在他面前，在朋友面前，在家人面前，装一副不是很在乎不是很爱他的样子很强把的样子，其实我内心比任何人还爱他，还在乎他，还紧张他，还关心他。我装是因为我怕。我怕如果有一天我失去他了，我会很伤心，别人会用可怜的眼光来对待我。我比任何人更清楚，我不能失去他，我不能没有他。就是因为内心怕，外表就装的更强把。一个婚姻都会变都会没有100%的保证，那更何况是一段没有保证的感情。及时他现在真的很爱我，可是我不能保证未来几年，他还是能像现在这样爱我。爱是什么？会是一张纸，时间越久就越薄越破旧吗？还是它会像是一瓶红酒，越久就越好喝越可口？我不懂。我只能希望，我们能永远到老。

Happy Birthday, Mr.Egg

Because I am a normal and lazy human... During the holidays, I am not productive... My daily routines are as followed:

• Send my brother and the girl that my mum takes care of to schools;
• Send my brother to tuition;
• Stay at home and watch Korean/Taiwanese shows/dramas the whole day;
• Daydream

I have violated the promise I made for myself to finished my thesis Chapter 1 by 25th January... I knew it... The promise will not make it... Anyway, I should have started soon...

Two days ago was Mr.Egg's birthday... As usual wishes from many people but the real celebration is with me ^^ I was happy that my best friend wished him also on Facebook... 

I bought a pair of shoes which are specialized for badminton player... It was expensive though... RM189 for this shoes and I used my PTPTN money to buy it... Phew... Luckily I didn't use much money this semester... look at him... So happy ^^ I bought his present earlier because this pair of shoes was in promotion until 5th January and I was given one week to change the shoes if the size is not fit... So I have to show him his present for him to try... Ya... Luckily, I gave him to try because the size I chose was not his feet size... We changed it to size 10...

We had the birthday celebration at a coffee shop in Kepong... Work31shop... Nice environment but limited choice of food... 

I had dinner earlier at home... So I ordered Strawberry Pancake, Caramel Latte, Hazelnut Latte and Bacon Spaghetti...

Everything tasted delicious except for this pancake... It looked nice but when I ate it, it was kind of dry...

No place for us to sit... So we had to sit at a big table for six and the waiter was not a good photographer... The models were goo looking but the picture looked so empty...

We had a simple celebration this year... Not every year birthday has to be special... It is special enough to celebrate your birthday with your loved one...^^

One Line Big Differences

Many Malaysians love to work at Singapore rather than Malaysia.. Singapore and Malaysia are neighbouring countries but the living lifestyle, the education and the currency there are better than Malaysia... Most of my relatives chose to work or stay there... My youngest aunt who bought a house at Johor and chose to wake up at 4 something in the morning, drive to Singapore to work, suffer the jam at the custom, come back at 11 something at night back to Johor... She slept only around 3 to 4 hours a day except for Sunday... I know it is tiring to have this kind of life everyday but she gets lots of money by working there is she changes the money from Singapore currency to Malaysia currency...

This morning I saw my primary school friend's mother... She told me that her daughter which is my hi-bye friend works at Singapore as an accountant for 5000++ Singapore currency per month... Wow... Do you know what that means? She earns around 10000++ in Malaysia currency... A 24 years old single lady works for RM10000 per month? Wow.. Even she has RM5000 I felt that is a lot, how about 10000? I am jealous...

The economy in Malaysia is no longer prosperous...
We have GST...
We have inflation...
We have drops in our rate...

Our country is good but it has to improve in many aspects...

After graduation, I might consider and hope to be able to work in Singapore also...

By the way, I read about GST... GST is not a new system... Many countries implemented GST(also known as VAT)... GST in many ways from the articles that I read is better than Government Sales Tax and Service Tax... But I think because it is new in Malaysia, most Malaysians do not understand and used to this system, therefore, they might feel reluctant and unhappy with this system...

They said the course that I am studying now is able to bring me to many different ways out...
But I can't think of any jobs that are related to what I learned except for teacher...
So many people, so so many people in this world are able to speak and write English fluently than me...
Then, what can I become or do after graduation other than teacher?
I don't know...

有个青春叫周杰轮

过了几天，我的心情还是没好过来。
我不想面对，不想看到他和她的新闻。

我真的无可奈何了。这几天在报纸，在 Facebook, 在 Youtube, 在 Instagram 都可以看到他们两个的新闻。他们的新闻弄的我的心和眼睛都满痛。

你可能会觉得我很傻很白痴。为了一个连我的存在他都不知道的人而伤心难过。为了一个连陌生人都不是的人而心痛。为了一个，我连钱都不会存或花去买他的专辑或演唱会的人而悲哀。

好啦。我承认。其实真的很不值。可是我就是不懂为什么心就是痛。他的歌声陪伴了我的少时。应该不只是我吧。他的歌声陪伴了世界很多华人的少时。他的个不算是歌神级可是就是因为他的歌很特别很靠近10年前的我们的心。他的咬此不清变成了特设。

我不开心不是因为他要结婚了。他虽然是艺人，可是他也是个人啊。人就是要经历一个人该经历的事。我是不开心为什么一个比我小，一个不是很红连名字都没有听过的女生，竟然，竟然，可以麻雀变凤王。就是因为一个字 “美”。谁会料到，17岁的你，命台好了，竟然会遇到一个世界各地的女生都想要爱的男人。21岁的她就嫁了做人妻。人有时真的是好无奈哦。你若像她，找到一个真的是100%的好对象，你21岁做人妻都不是问题。相反的，嫁给一个爱你可是没钱的男人，你21岁结婚，太早太可怜太委屈了。若我是她，我管它年不年轻，我都回答应啦。天王呢。周杰轮呢。有钱有地位有身份有才华的男人呢。怎么会不嫁。

他们的婚礼是事实。我不得不承认他们的婚礼安排的好美好梦幻。他们的结婚照也是拍的超好看的。我不会在这放他们的照片因为我到现在心情还没恢复。不想看到他们。

我17岁还在烦学业，你17岁就和他在热恋。我21岁还在烦未来担心未来，你21岁就可以很无忧无虑的做周太太，安安分分的做个少奶奶。恭喜你打败了比你厉害百倍的女人，成为他（有可能不是唯一）正式的女人。。希望你爱的不是艺人周杰轮而是一个平凡你所认识的周杰轮。最后，希望你会好好照顾我的青春，周杰轮 T.T

Making Myself A Priority

Recently I am troubled by my aunt's family's problem...
I do not know where to express... So, I expressed it through Twitter...
But my friends thought I have problem with Mr.Egg...
Hahaha... But is not because of him... It is my aunt...
Mr.Egg told me to put myself as a priority...
Don't always think and worry about things that I can't help or solve...
Don't put himself as the first priority...
Don't worry about things that I can't even change...
18 January 2015 is the date when the idol that I liked and adored when I was young is going to get married...
When I firstly heard this news, I was mad and sad... I even tweeted about it...
But as time goes, i felt better and just like "whatever" about it since like what Mr.Egg said I can't even change this right.. So why should I care, sad and even angry about it?

Due to my aunt's husband's affair, I eventually who is already feeling insecure with a relationship, now feeling even more insecure...
Even though I look like I don't really love Mr.Egg in front of others, I love and care about him so much...
But I worried if I really care and love much, I will get hurt more...
But LOVE cannot be measured... LOVE is unpredictable... LOVE cannot be forced... LOVE is about feelings...
I don't know... Too much negativity with me...
I have to make myself happy and believe in love...I keep on convincing with myself by thinking about successful marriages and couples and also watch some proposing videos that are shared by others in facebook...
 Mr.Egg is a good guy... Yes.. It is a truth...

Don't spend your times worrying and thinking about others...

Your life should be fully used for yourself...

Do things that make you happy...

Come out with solutions instead of keeping thinking it sadly as a problem...
