Records Of My Childhood - Home

A little fading memory -- When I was 4 years old, I still remember my second aunt asked me, "Next year you are going kindergarten year one already, how do you feel?" Hmm... At that time I was not so interested in schools. Sounds lame. Err... Actually now I also feel so. I was staying in Taman Sri Bahagia, Tampoi at that time. Miss that home. Although our house was shabby, it was filled with love and precious memories. Every day there will be a van which sells breads, biscuits, junk food and sweets passed by our home. Our house was located near the bank, grocery shop, pasar malam and clinic too! Those places can be reached by walking a few minutes only, how nice~ Grandma and second aunt often came here and stay for a few days with us. When I was small, I was so filial and would accompany grandma wherever she went, gave her a massage, poured drinks for her and greeted her with a cheerful look. Lol it was exactly like what the Moral textbook has taught us to do. I also often chatted with her using Teochew and I bet my Teochew last time was far more better than now because I seldom speak now and I learned things very fast at time time, now long forgotten already... Sad... =(

As for education when I was small, I'm not really sure when mum bought a full set of Peter and Jane Book for us to read. She always forced us to read especially my brother who always refused to read anything. Yea, we were not bookworms. However, I enjoyed reading it with the pictures along. While reading and looking at the pictures, me and my brother always imagined things and created stories. Those were Children Talk. Love it~ I also remember that we had a collection of books of teddy bear. From A Book of One till A Book of Twelve(Inside the book everything has a number of things according to the title of the book and I was so calculative and counted every single things to make sure the numbers are correct at that time><). Those books were for Vivian. Besides, we also had many other books, eg: The Greedy Monkey(It's about a monkey who ate many rambutans and bananas till its stomach was bloated), A Book Of Dinosaur(Curious about dinosaur at that time, learned many types of dinosaur, but now I don't remember their names already) and many other collection of storybooks, some were bought and some were given by others. Our wall was filled with posters too. Hmm... Remember got one was animals poster, one was Good Habit poster and another one was timetable... == I think I began to memorize the timetable when I was six because I felt that it was lame too... == Oh no! I seemed reluctant to learn proper things! Or perhaps I just didn't like to do what I was instructed to do. Rebellious? Yea, the more you want me to do, the more I don't want to do. Yes I hate obeying others. Don't tell me what to do! Like I said, things are not getting fun when you are forced to do so. Speaking of wall just now, I remember I tore calenders and drew many things(but I can only remember one of the things I drew was fire and woods) and pasted it on the wall using cellophane tape! I pretended my home as a Gallery of Art. But not for long, mum asked me to remove those things as our house was rented and mum scared that the house owner will be unhappy. So, I sadly removed those drawings which were intentionally meant for pasting on the wall. ><

Yes I like to draw since I was small. I will imitate any drawings that I came across. Hmm... Imitator? Indeed, not only drawings, I imitated voices too! Ultraman, X-men, Batman, Spiderman, Power Rangers, Power Puff Girls, Pokemon, Teletubbies, Digimon and too many things I have drawn before! Enjoyed drawing things with my brother too. We played while drawing. We created our own characters and drew and used various cartoon voice to make them speak and we drew whatever actions we mentioned. A continuous drawing using many pieces of papers until our story ended. We liked to create stories at that time. Even when we were eating apple, we made the apple talk until we finished eating. Lol and I remember mum was annoyed and warned us not to play a fool when eating apples. She said, "If you make the apple talk, one day it will really talk by itself!" It was meant to scare us. But we didn't heed it and I continued doing so as I was actually hoping the apple to talk by itself! How naive! Yes but logically I didn't think so but I just can't help myself from living in my own wonderland! I don't know what I was thinking but sometimes I would just stood anywhere and started to imagine things.

Another fun activity that me, Desmond and Vivian had made together was food creation! I'm not sure how old I was at that time, about 7 years old I think... We made fruit-jelly by cutting apples and pears and mixed them with lots of jellies! At that time I remember giving the adults to eat but they refused. == Only mum ate if I'm not mistaken. Emm... But I remember it tasted good.

Another fragment of memories about my home! This is the negative part. I remember my house has many disgusting creatures! Centipedes, Caterpillars, Garbage worms, Slugs, Snails, Millipedes, Fruit Bats(Never seen them but every morning will see their faeces outside our home!) and many strange creatures!

We started to play Library since we were very small too. Since we had many storybooks, we played this among ourselves and our plushies too. I like to play as the Librarian. I liked to sign on the card whenever our plushies borrowed and returned the books. (~.~)

Feel lazy to continue on already... This post is a bit disorder too. Wait till I have the time and mood to write or edit my post. Well, I do reread and edit my posts when I am free. My purpose of blogging was to carve some memories here so that when I read back I can recall those precious memories I had. =)

Deepavali 2011

Yesterday was a public holiday as it was Deepavali. No classes and no duty, so I took this opportunity to go outing and relax myself. Initially, we planned to go to Cheras Pasar Malam but the weather is not so good as it rained a while and then stopped and suddenly rained again. Well, a drastic change of weather made us decided to go to Mid Valley because it has shelter and we were unsure that the stalls at the pasar malam will open or not since the weather was so lame.

I went there with an empty stomach. I took my breakfast and lunch in my room on that day. Merely a cup of Milo and a few pieces of biscuits because I knew that I am going to spend a lot later. We had dinner at 拾八风味 since a course mate said she wanted to eat pork, if not we will have Sushi Zanmai already! I was not satisfied with this restaurant, the food was expensive and not so nice! Spent RM25.60 on my dinner! The set dish was a bowl of chicken soup with half a chicken and wantan, a charsiew bun, a bowl of I don't know what the hell soup, a bowl of rice and a glass of honey lemon. Well it sounds sumptuous but the problem is the food was not nice! I'm not going to patronize this restaurant again. Hmm... or perhaps my mind was  thinking of Japanese and Western food made me so bias to other kinds of food? I wonder...

Later, we went shopping. I was attracted by some extremely nice purse. I wanted to buy it but after thinking for a while, I decided not to waste money since my current purse was still in a good shape. At 8.30pm, there was a discount of Japanese food in Jusco. I bought 5 salmon sushi and it costed me RM4.00. Cheap huh? Lol. Just wanna buy something back for my room mate because most of the time she goes out she will buy something for me. That's all for the outing yesterday.

Then after returning to my room, I continued doing my assignment. The questions were getting tougher and tougher and I spent a long time to solve it. Hmm... Hate it when some of the course mates were actually waiting for answers. Frequently asked questions when there are assignments, "Have you finished your assignment?"(Will have a bad feeling when anyone asks this), "Can let me copy your assignment?"(You might as well copy my answers during exam too), "I wanna refer yours."(No this is a lie. Refer? You actually didn't do at all right?), "If you don't know how to do it then who else will know?"(I hate this most, can't you contribute your brain? What are brains for?)... But sometimes when I think of how they treated me so well, I let go all of this... Haiz... But people, do you know in the end you will be at a disadvantage if you continue like this?

Sushi King Bonanza!!!

First time eating sushi at Sushi King during the Bonanza promotion! Because I have no member card and seldom been there to eat, I have always waited for this moment, imagined myself eating at there whenever I heard about this event. Finally, my dream came true, today. During lab in the morning, we discussed about this Sushi Bonanza. Hoping that we can go out together to eat. And I grumbled about my hectic life recently. Complaining that I haven't go anywhere even Kajang this semester. Then my course mates were amazed! They said that I'm so pity. Suddenly one of my course mates flashed out his Sushi King member card! Oh! Everyone stared at it, happily. But the problem is, we have only one card, and the card holder can only support a maximum of 5 persons. We have 19 members in our course... so how? They didn't think much about it. They straight away asked whether tomorrow we are free or not as we don't have class during afternoon on Tuesday. Unfortunately, me and some of my group members have project to do tomorrow, so we really can't make it. So, ... ... ... ... the topic was closed for a moment. ==

Later as our lab finished quite early today, we went for breakfast before going to the next lecture room. I ate sandwiches and some kuih only. Still, I feel kinda full. Bread really makes me full! >< Okay, after that class, when I was planning to go back to my room to do my works, suddenly two of my course mates said they wanted to go Sushi King immediately. Huh? I also wanted to go too as I was desperately craving for sushi. But only two guys going... plus me? No way! That's a little bit strange! Then I asked some course mates to accompany me there. I was really indecisive at that time. Afraid that no other girls will accompany me and when I was about to reject, one of my course mates said, "We accompany you la~ See you so eager wanna go Sushi King~" I'm so touched! In fact, I can tell that they felt reluctant to go there initially as they were asked to go there so suddenly. Good! Now that's five of us! Just nice! And we went there by car.

There was a bit traffic jam at that time. Finally, we reached there and saw quite many people lining up and waiting to get a seat in Sushi King. We get our seat too after waiting for several minutes. And after we get our place, we rushed and grabbed as many plates as we can! Salmon sushi, Unagi sushi, Octopus sushi! Those are my favorites! I took many of them! So happy that I filled my stomach with my favorite food. 

Cheers with Green Tea

My course mates: Adrian and Hoo Kwee 

First time eating fried prawn sushi

The most hilarious sentences that I spouted out today: "Fried prawn? Never had this before! Luckily I still have some space in my stomach! I'm almost full already. Ishh! So late only come out><" (Well I don't think it was funny actually, but they do think so =='')

This angle looks like we had a lot of sushi

A total of 45 plates for 5 persons. Quite a small sum to them but frankly speaking, I was extremely full at that time.

After having sushi, we went back for our next lecture class. After the last class, Jonathan actually drove today! As expected, he wanted to take dinner outside. So we had to follow him too. We ate at Mamak stall and then we went back to our college. That's all for today~ Spent so much money on food today~ But I don't mind having another round of Sushi Bonanza~ Haha~ 

Revelation

I loved yesterday's and today's preach about the Revelation. In the Holy Bible, the Revelation is the last part of the New Testament. You may find it scary and fearful if you read it. Basically it is about what will happen when we are dead. It also describes what Heaven and Hell look like.

Let's hear what the reverend preached, I'm just writing a synopsis of it and a supportive reference from the Bible

During the end of the world, the Christians and the Church will be lifted up high to the sky and disappear first. Those who are not being lifted up are the one who doesn't believe in Christ and therefore there is no salvation for them. Then, there will be catastrophes in this world. All human on earth will die, the same thing happens to all the living things on the land and the sea. Human beings are being tested by Satan, which is against the Lord. The Satan will act as a false prophet and bring miracle to human too. But he will ask you to leave the Lord and follow his fallen path. The Satan will definitely fulfill all your needs and he knows your heart and what you want, in exchange of your eternal life and your soul. There is no turning back when you fell into the trap of Satan, that is, when you have accepted the Satan and receive a mark of '666' which symbolizes the Satan. You will end up being thrown in the Lake of Fire. Aww! It's scary! So, how to avoid being deceived by Satan? First, you have to be Pure and Patient. Pure means you must keep away from doing unclean things. As for patient, for example, you are a blind person. When Satan offers you to regain your eyesight, with a condition that you leave Christ, will you accept his offer? Are you going to pay your soul for this temporary comfort or happiness? So, be patient and wait till the day your God brings you to Heaven, and there will be no sorrows, no tears, no sickness... It's a wonderful place!

Let's have a look what was stated in the Holy Bible in Revelation 20:1-6

The Thousand Years

''And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be set free for a short time.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. The had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reign with Christ a thousand years. (the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."

Woops a bit confusing and difficult to understand... That's why we gonna go church to listen what the reverend explains.

Duty For Pesta Konvo

Em... Don't know how to start... Just not in the mood to blog but I hope to record this down... So I just briefly write something here~ Ok. I chose this duty slot since Friday is the only day that I am free. My duty slot began at 5pm until 8pm. Me and my roommate represent our college to go for duty today~ The Pesta Konvo was near from our college so we just have to walk a few steps to reach there.

 Hehe~ First time wearing this(I mean the vest)~ Feel proud to wear it~

 Fake smile + Stiff body = Very unnaturally

 Me and my roommate

Bought this mobile phone strap~ I found this lovely~ ^^

 Found this cool~ I love revolver and I'm gonna put it on my pendrive~

Finally I replaced it with the previous one~

 Bye bye ''UKM Johorean''

Later I had Steak Cheese Burger for dinner~ The Pesta Konvo was really like Pasar Malam~ Haha~ Had a nice day today =)

Back To University Again

Now I am back HERE again... It's never enough time for me to be at home but I just can't ask for more. It was counted that I went back home on Friday, almost dawn, and the first thing I did was sleeping. Then, I woke up at 10a.m. not the next day, but actually a few hours after I reached home... == Later, dad brought us to Giant in Plentong for shopping. Long time didn't go there already. After shopping for a few hours, we went home and had our home cook dinner as usual. Err... So Friday just ended like that...

Then the next day, I suggested dad to take us to Megah Ria to eat dumplings. I love the dumplings there especially their fried dumplings. Remember that last Saturday before sending my brother back to Uni, we went there to have our breakfast. But at that time me and my brother felt so emo and did not have the appetite to eat. So we just ordered a bowl of noodle for both of us to share eat. Then, dad ordered a plate of fried dumplings for us too. That was the first time I ate their fried dumplings! It was really delicious! It was not so oily until people like me who had no appetite to eat can finish up two dumplings. Poor noodle, you are so oily and I felt like vomiting after eating you.

Later we went to Carrefour for shopping. We also didn't come here for shopping for a long long time already. Here, dad bought a new watch for me. The price of the watch was RM9.90. Dad said that it will be valuable if it can last for 2 years. But... but... sad to say... that... my watch... was spoilt... today... just now... means it only lasted for a day ==||| Later we had Pizza from Pizza Hut for dinner and this was how Saturday ended.

Today, I reluctantly woke up at 7a.m. and lay down on bed until 8a.m. I had packed my things on yesterday so I just need to take my breakfast and wait for my friend to fetch me and my sister to the bus station. Along the way back to Uni, I sat beside Sin Teng as she was sick. Shockly, the bus stopped at Pudu bus station. I never been there before and I was a little bit panic. But at last I managed to come back UKM safe and sound without facing the Lottery Lady near TBS lol! But it was sure a tiring trip back here. =(

If only I could stay a little bit longer at home... ... ... ...T-T

Malaysia Day

Thanks to Hari Malaysia! I can take this opportunity to go back home! It was ridiculous to go back home after a few days entering University but I had no choice! Who asked me to forgot to bring my lab coat back to University! Aiks! Not only this, my bed sheet doesn't fit in my brand new international-size bed too! So I had to go back home to settle my things before I'm getting busy for the next few weeks. Lucky me~ I did not go back home alone. I went back with my sister and friends. We had decided to meet up at TBS to take bus home.

Ok. Our adventures started when we all departed from our Uni respectively. Here is my story... ...

Yesterday after my last class, I straight away went to the bus-stop to wait for the bus to drive me to the KTM station to take train to the bus terminal. Then I met my course mates also waiting at the bus-stop. Our destination was the same, that was to the KTM station. But my friends were not taking bus there as the bus was too crowded too. They were waiting for a friend to fetch them there so they asked me to carpool with them. I agreed. After we reached the KTM station, we waited patiently for the train. The train delayed and delayed. Finally a train came... but it was extremely crowded and the passengers inside were pack like sardines. Nah... It was not the first time like this! This happens every time especially during public holiday seasons. Owh! Poor me... being squeezed in between many Indian ladies... They had nothing to hold on so they just simply grabbed on my shoulder and my backpack. ><

After standing for about half an hour inside the overcrowded train until my legs were almost broken, at last I reached the bus terminal. Along the way to the terminal, I was halted by a lady who gave me a leaflet, which I initially thought so. But after walking a few steps, I noticed that wasn't a leaflet and the lady chased me and asked me to tear it. It was actually a lottery. The lady said, ''Please help me to tear this, if you get a Thank You, then just return it to me." Ok. I was not in a hurry too as I was the first to reach the bus terminal before my friends. But I was totally not interested in such lottery things. However, I still tore the lottery and it showed that I won the first prize! The lady looked happier than me, which gave an indifferent look instead. The lady said, "Wow! Congratulations! You have won a RM8000 prize! How old are you? Are you going back to Johor? Do you have any bank cards? Your bank cards are registered by your own or with your mother? How much money do you have in your bank? Do you have driving license? If your bank got a lot of money, you don't need to pay for the road tax..." and etc stupid questions!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! Her intention was clear! Even morons know that this was actually a scam! Still, I answered that lady perfunctory and gave fake answers to those questions. Then at last, the lady asked me to accompany her to somewhere so that she can get a bonus too! Hah! I know you are up to no good! I know you are going to cheat my money! I thought. "You can have it," I said. But she replied, "No I can't..." "Then give it to other people here," I said. "No, I can't... There's so many people looking at me, I can't simply give it to others," she replied stubbornly. Suddenly a man came and said, "You follow her la ~ So that she can get her bonus!" Obviously they were accomplice! Ya, of course you will get your bonus if I followed you! Because you will suck out my savings as your bonus, right? Unfortunately you won't! I won't let you! You idiots!!! You thought you were going to fool me??? I knew my face looked naive but I was so alert to this! LOL! Then I acted like I was in a hurry to catch up my bus. But that stupid lady tried to stop me, saying that it only took a while for this! Luckily, Sin Teng called me. Then I immediately threw the lottery to the lady and said, "You see! My friend must be calling me to hurry up already la!" Then I answered the phone while walking a few steps away. But! After finished talking on the phone, suddenly the lady appeared beside me and said, "Your friend hasn't arrive yet, is it?" I really cannot stand that lady and I was a little bit scared and shocked too. She was tough! So without saying anything, I ignored her and quickly rushed up the stairs and head inside the bus terminal. I turned my head and peeped on the lady. Phew! Luckily she didn't follow me! Well, at least I was safe inside the bus terminal.

Well, now talking about what happened inside the bus terminal. I waited Sin Yee for a while after she said she had arrived in Serdang KTM station. The terminal was crowded too! Tickets were sold out quickly. But since there were so many counters, we didn't consider about failing to buy our bus tickets to go home. We couldn't buy the tickets earlier too as we are not sure whether what time will my sister and her friends arrive here. At last, we only managed to buy some extra trip tickets. Instead of going back at 8pm or earlier, we only managed to get a 11pm bus. It costed RM40 for each ticket, which means we had to pay extra 9 Ringgits. T-T Nearly can't go back on Thursday lo! We had KFC and chatted while waiting for the time to come. At last, we reached home at 3 something in the midnight.

Enough of my story, I am going to have a rest and enjoy my days at home~ ^-^

Thank God for the safe trip and prevented me from being cheated~ Amen!
