An Ending is Another New Beginning

Well, these few days I kept thinking about the final days I have in UM... I did tell Mr. Egg how much I will miss all this and I even was the only one who teared after the closing and ending of our play... When I thought about leaving and ending, I keep on telling myself a quote from Mitch Albom's book (5 people you Met in Heaven) "An ending is another new beginning". Because I felt the sadness and nostalgia, I decided to do one thing: Take pic with every coursemates... But I successfully only a few because some I can't even meet them in UM in our faculty = =

One of them is Adli boy ^^

Am I the only one among our coursemates who is feeling nostalgic and sad for the separation? = =

Today is the second last day for me: to be in UM as a student
                                                      : to stay in the library for hours while waiting for Mr. Egg
                                                      : for me to have class
                                                      : for me to be with Gan & Tien

And I have finally done with my thesis (except content), done with the play and done with Dr. Sani's presentation and assignment... Hooray... But I do still have 2 exams and an assignment which due on 25th June T.T

Hahaha.. Great right? Let me introduce to you the townpeople: Uncle Chan... I do look like a man here ^^ Thanks to the costume, styling, make up and moustache from Pola, Melody, Bahjah, Mc, Bella, Chui and Abang Din <3

Last but not least, a group picture is a must... We have made it... Good job, everyone... Throughout this play, I had my three first times... First time: to bathe in UM toilet, staying late at UM until 10 something and first time to come to UM everyday except for Sunday... One more thing, I realised that other than Tien & Gan, Melody reads my blog too ^^ I thought my blog is personal and no one will read my blog... But who knows there are people out there who concerns about my thoughts and life... Keep it up, Tien, Gan and Mel... 

Alright.. Let's face the reality and continue with assignment *Sigh*

Hello 150529

I have know the days after mid-semester break will be very hectic... This month is the busiest month for everyone... Especially this week... I have thesis, Dr. Sani's assignment, practice for my play and Dr. Park's assignment... Since Monday, after Adli mentioned to us that aster this play which is this week, it will be our last time to see most of our coursemates who have accompanied me these three and the half years... Suddenly, I felt nostalgic... I have always mentioned in my blog that the speed time moves is faster than the speed of a Ferrari... So fast... So, I came with this idea to take as many pictures as possible with my coursemates... Everyone... 

Tomorrow is the official play... Nervous... I hope I will remember my lines and I will not laugh half way of my performance... I hate it... I don't know why my laughing point is so low and once I start to laugh, I know, is hard for me to stop = =

By the way, now only I realise that other than Tien, Gan Chi Wei will read my blog too = = Ishh.. Feeling no more privacy here... But anyone, I don't care la... Better these two continue to read my blog even after graduation, even after married, even after have children and even after have grandchildren... HAHAHA... Don't know I will still keep on writing blogs or not after I married... Hope I will continue... These two are my good friends... We argued, we laughed, we worked together, we gossiped together, we ate together... I know things will change but I hope Mulagans group is still there for us and two of you will still read my blog... You know right, I seldom post my feelings in facebook or twitter... Instagram or mostly blog, I will use it to express my anger, sadness and happiness... Seriously, I will miss you guys la... Hope you guys are able to have happy and bright futures at the same time another half... I might change to a serious person after I work but when I see you guys I will change back to who you know me ^^

专署的快乐

什么时候感觉自己最无能？
就是帮不到自己最爱的人的时候，
感觉自己是最无能的
其实事情很小，
只不过就是因为小，
所以更想为他/她做的更好。

可是当我做不到的时候，
我觉得我很无助，
我觉得我很无能，
渺小的事都变成了大石头压在我心。
很痛很痛。

眼泪就不知不觉的，
偷偷溜了出来。

我爱带欢乐带自信给真心爱我的人，
不好的悲哀的麻烦的，
由我来吸收，
没关系的，
我怎样忙，
只要你们需要到我，
我一定会抽时间给你们
只要你们快乐，幸福，开心，健康，平安，顺利
就好了。

可能你们会觉得我很傻，
可是他们开心，
就是我的快乐，
能让我快乐的事，
就算傻就算累就算麻烦就算破费，
那算什么，
这就是我的快乐，
专署于我何艳萍的快乐

2 More Months

I am going to graduate soon...
My study life is going to end officially soon...
Is time for me to plan about my life about my future...

I actually thought before about what should I do after graduation... Now i roughly have the draft of my future... After graduation, I will go to find job related to teaching, I mean private informal education such as tuition teacher, kindergarten teacher or daycare teacher... While working, I will apply for becoming a government teacher, a staff in the bank and a staff in a research company... Although I am not interested to become a government teacher, I will try to apply for it since I have spent 4 years to study this field... Becoming a staff in a bank came into my mind when I had a chat with Tien Mie... As you know, I don't have any adult which is "professional" and able for me to talk to... I hope to have an elder brother like Tien Mie's brother who I can approach to and talk to when I am confused... So I asked Tien Mie about her brother's advice to her for her future... And she told me of her brother asking her to apply for a pose in the bank... Becoming a bank staff is a good idea because the benefits are very attractive...So I will try... While becoming a staff in research company is not the company which does scientific research but is a company which does survey about particular products or service... I think this work is interesting as I am able to get to know more people and I will be able to force myself to communicate and I will be no longer a "hermit"...

After I told about my plan to Mr.Egg, Tien and Gun, I don't know why, I felt that my future is BRIGHT ^^

I found this particular quote in a particular drama that I watched... I like this quote...

"You can trust a person but do not put hope on a person... The hope you put might bring you disappointment..." 

Hello

Wow.. It has been a month since my last blog... Long time didn't update my blog.. Maybe because my life in these weeks were monotonous and have nothing to write about...

I am having my semester break now... The time passes so fast (I know I have emphasized and mentioned this numerous times in my blog)... Well... Erm... I think I might have several things that worth for me to talk about...

1) I have 7 more weeks to go before my final semester of my course officially ends...
2) I am able to use my Watsapp... But none talk to me using watsapp also... Therefore, actually no point for me to be able to use watsapp T.T
3) Mr. Egg bought me an Iphone... First time in these 24 years of my life, I use this fruit branded mobile... Excited but at the same time frustrated because I am not a tech-savvy... Many things in the Iphone, I do not know how to use... Have to google whenever I have a question regarding this fruit mobile (annoyed)...
4) I have done my Chapter 1 and 3 of my thesis... Going to proceed to Chapter 2 by this week...
5) Mr. Egg and I have been together for 7 years ^^ And instead of eating heavy dinner to celebrate it, we had coffee together... A simple celebration for this year...

Ok.. I think that's all for today... Oh by the way, I have started to reading a new book after the "Five people You met In Heaven"... The book that I am reading now is "A Thousand Splendid Suns"...  And one more thing to go... At first with the implementation of GST, I was angry but after a while I think I should just accept the reality... But now I am really angry with the current implementation regarding the raise of the parliament's members' salary... I mean I am angry because the increase is too much and excessive... So what now? The government is in debts... Malaysian currency is depreciating... implementation of GST making everyone has to pay extra 6% for what ever they buy... All these making the middle-class and lower-class Malaysian suffer... Despite of these, the government bought private jet and now increase the salary of Parliament members as a motivation??? If you increase between RM100-RM2000, is still can be accepted... But now you raise their salary for more than 147%??? Where does the raise come from?? Is from us... Your beloved citizen...

I am a frustrated... I am annoyed... Because I am a Malaysian... Because I never think of migrating T.T

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 ><
