8/6
Took 10.30pm bus from JB Larkin bus station to Sri Maju Ipoh headquarter. It’s a long bus journey.

9/6
Reach Ipoh at around 5.30am. It’s still early, so we back to YF’s house to rest. Slept until around 12pm. (o.O so 厉害 sleep….waha~) YF brought us to Old Town and we met YS there for lunch. Drank the Old Town white coffee and the snacks sold at the shop was nice. The egg tarts were crispy. After that, our Ipoh trip began…

We went around in YF’s car. The buildings along the road had a unique style and some of them were still preserved to be in old British style. We seldom saw this kind of building style recently. We stopped at the Railway station. It gave me a British colonial feel because of its building appearance. We took quite a number of photos there. Later on, YF brought us to see the Menglembu landmark – the peanuts statue. Then we head back to YF’s house.

Back to YF’s house, we played games. YF had a wide collection of games!! We played Monopoly and a sort-of driving game(not remember the name =P). Haha, I nearly bankrupt in Monopoly le…YF’s mum prepared some noodles for us, so we ate while we were playing Monopoly. Then we changed to the ‘driving’ game. It’s played using cards. You will need a green light to start playing. Then you may be stopped by other players anytime. There are some hazard cards such as “flat tyre”, “accident”, “out of gas”, “speed limit” and of course there will be some remedy cards for them. Due to tiredness, I didn’t join in the ‘driving’ game.

We went to pasar malam after playing the ‘driving’ game and had ‘lok lok’ as our dinner. It’s been a long time since I last ate ‘lok lok’. Haha, enjoyed the feeling dipping the ‘lok lok’ sticks into the boiled water and ate it by the street. =P We walked along the road and keep on ‘searching’…Suddenly something caught our attention. “炒冰” Have you heard it before? We were wonder how it is done. Out of curiosity, we went to the stall and bought one and 顺便 see the making process. Bought some bread as our breakfast for the next day and we went back to YF’s house.

The night was still early, so we played games again. Played the 陆战棋 with YS and Rummy-O with BY while YF and ZJ were playing chess. Never noticed the time, we played until around 4.30am (@.@) Went to bed and sleep for a few hours and will have to wake up, prepare to ‘climb’ the Kledang hill..

10/6
Woke up early early in the morning, prepared to ‘climb’ the Kledang hill. The morning air is so refreshing, should have more morning walk (been telling myself to wake up early but everytime will lose to 周公 and continue to sleep..hehe). We walked up the slope and enjoying the view from the hill. Wah..the view is nice when you looked down from high above. Been to the waterfall and had our breakfast there. Tried to shoot the waterfall but couldn’t get the feel I want. Hmm..should practice more..haha~

Back to YF’s house again and caught some sleep before we off to have our lunch and meet LY. YF brought us to “大树脚” to eat laksa. There’s a huge variety of the ingredients and they were nice. LY is so sweet, specially bought us Chee Cheong Fun, but too bad she can’t join us for the trip. Had a full and contented meal. Again, we went around in YF’s car. YF and YS introduced us about the buildings that we passed by. Then we went to 茶坊. It is a place similar to Settler’s café or Mind’s café in Sg. The difference is the 茶坊 is in Chinese style (we drank Chinese tea) and the variety of games is much lesser than that in Settler’s or Mind’s café. However the most important is the ambience and the time shared together with friends.

After that, we went to YS’s house and we were going to spend the night there. Rest for a while and off we went to have our dinner at Wholley food centre. Got a surprise from ZJ, BY and YF. They bought cakes for YS and I from Secret Recipe! An early birthday celebration for us~~ Thanks BY, YF and ZJ!!

Head back to YS’s house after dinner. Played the ‘driving’ game and ‘blockers’. First time playing blockers and learnt a few tactics while playing. To ‘conserve’ energy for the next day trip, we slept quite early at around 1.30am.

11/6
Josephine’s birthday – Happy birthday, 朱妹~

Went to have Dim Sum as our breakfast. They were tasty and nice. I had a bowl of sesame paste and BY said it’s good for black hair (hmm…I shall have more then, lol~)

Today’s trip began with the visit to 南天洞, and then we went to 三保洞. They are natural caves which had been developed as a tourist destination. Again, it’s photo taking time~

After that, we went to Kellie’s castle. It was owned by William Kellies Smith and was intended to be the hub of social life for the area’s wealthy colonial planters and administrators. However it was never to be completed. Work halted with the sudden demise of William Kellie Smith in Dec 1926.We went around the castle and took a lot of artistic photos, haha.. YF even brought her tripod along~ hehe, the photo shooting session at Kellie’s castle took quite some time...but the photos were very very nice!!! The scenery there and the building style is a good spot for photo shooting. =P

Had our lunch at a coffee house and we went to Popular to kill our time before we had our dinner – 芽菜鸡…a “can’t-be-missed” dishes when you come to Ipoh. The remaining of the time was spent on the making of 记“袆”犹“心”and chatting…wah…really had a long long overnight chat until the next day morning ~~~~~~~

12/6
Had a simple breakfast at “up to you” coffee shop （随便你茶餐室）…a funny name, rite? YF said there’s still more shop that had similar name as this in Ipoh. Later on, we made our way to Sri Maju headquarters to meet YS there. Passed her the 记忆（祎）犹新（心）, glad to see the happy expression at YS’s face…a simple yet memorable birthday gift…Chat for a while and we got to bid YF and YS goodbye…board on the bus and off we go…going back to Larkin ~~

Sleep all the way back to Larkin on the bus…Before board on the bus at Sri Maju headquarters, had a headache and felt 不舒服, maybe due to insufficient of sleep, luckily didn’t have car-sick. It becomes so much better after a nap in the bus…

*Due to tiredness and maybe a sudden hormone imbalance(lol~~), I appeared to be a bit 闷闷的 and quiet during the trip some of the times...不好意思ya~ hope you guys won’t take it in heart, k? =P

Specially thanks to YF and YS to be our tour guides and your accompaniment for these days... Had a great time with great friends! =)

Don't have any idea on the title, so I just leave it blank..=P

Actually now I donno what to blog,just feel like to write something..haha..
Thought of blogging on my Ipoh trip, but don't have any 灵感 now...lol~~ so have to be patient la..wait till I have the 灵感 to narrate on it..And I'm waiting for the photos too..hehe~ Took quite a number of photos during this trip, esp when we were at Kellie's castle..The scenery is so suitable for photo taking and it is nice!

Today is Father's day..Hmm.. my family don't really celebrate the occasion..since it is Sunday and mum don't need to work, maybe will just cook something special and have it together...

R.Yin's birthday also falls on today..Happy birthday to R.Yin!!!All the best and take care~~

Finally, it's done~ 1st attempt on doing this..lol~ gotta learn more...

A memento for myself of my 3 yrs uni life.. Had quite a number of great moments with great friends!! And I'm sure there's more to go!!! Haha...

life is plain.

Everyday wakes up and repeats the same things from morning until night...
Surfing net, watching DVD or TV, reading story book, doing a slide show to relate my 3-year Uni life...nothing much...

Haha, been wondering when will I found my first job~~ There's some other things been hovering in my mind...Maybe I start to think too much again... =P

Plan to go SG tml to take some things back, however feels so reluctant to go ~~ lol~ 矛盾，isn't it??

Taking night bus to Ipoh this coming Sunday..Looking forward it~ Sure it can add some sparks to my recent boring life... lol~~~

一直以来，心中就一直盼望着有一天能到世界各地去旅行。。
想多学些新事物，想通过旅行，认识不同国家，不同的人、事、物，不同的文化背景。。
希望能多增广见闻。。想亲身体验在另一个国家生活的情形~
尤其想感觉走在不冷不热，人烟不多，微风徐徐吹着的街道上时的享受。。
虽然这愿望还没实现，但有一天一定会实现的，这是我对自己许下的承诺~
想想也许应该从自己的国家开始吧。。马来西亚--一个我从小长大的地方，但是所到过的地方却屈指可数。。有很多个州属对我来说都很陌生，也没真的体验过那里的风土民情~~有机会的话，一定要去explore一下~~

喜欢拍照。。想拍出真正好看的照片，抓住永恒的回忆。。
刚刚在网上找到一个相关的网站，还没详读其中的资料。。哈哈，希望能从中偷师~~
这就是我刚找到的网站~~ http://www.basic-digital-photography.com/index.html
有兴趣的话，可以去浏览一下~~ =)

最近爱上photoshop，哈哈~

这几天在家无聊，就‘做’了几张照片。。




其实photoshop还有很多很多不同的功能，而我会的只是冰山里小小的一角，还有待慢慢地发掘。。Thanks ZJ 偶尔‘传授’的photoshop skills，还有从他那里‘偷师’的照片arrange方法~~ =P

我现在能做什么？
呆在家里一整天，好闷啊！！！
不是读故事书，就是上网~唉，上网也不知道要做什么，而且这几天的connection很不稳定。。会一直disconnect~~online好过干脆offline。。=P

最近天气很热，要多喝水~~

Yesterday evening, we successfully ‘lured’ ZJ out for a dinner. Together with JY and BY, we gave him his birthday present--"Phantasie". Hah, a belated birthday present due to the reason that we three were in the middle of final exam during his actual birthday and had insufficient time to make this ‘exquisite’ present.

Had been making this birthday present ever since I’m back from Redang trip and now finished, suddenly feeling ‘empty’ now, lol~ Actually I’m now not really had nothing to do, I have 2 story books to read – "Deception Point" by Dan Brown and "Contest" by Matthew Reilly. Haha, but just the inner feelings…=P

In the process of job searching, finally graduated from NUS~ No more lectures, tutorials, assignments and exams. Hah, but somehow will miss the time when we all meet for lunch or dinner and the time when we ‘camp’ in the library…

Hope I can find a suitable job as soon as possible. But it’s a bit hard for me as I’m now don’t have any job on mind and am just like “finding a needle in the haystack”.(Hah, am I correct in using this proverb to describe my situation now uh? ) There are too many choices at the online job portal. Thus it’s hard to decide which one to look for and to apply if one does not have any job on mind. So sometimes I will just close the window when I find until frustrated, lol~ Anyway, the job searching process will still going on until I found a job. Haha, I’m saying 废话~~ =P

Well, despite the ‘uncertain’ job searching process, I’m looking forward the next trip with my friends! Hehe =)

快乐的时间总是那么的短暂。之前还在说：“好向往去Redang的时候，好期待哦！” 一眨眼，在热浪岛上的三天两夜就这样过了。。

11/5
一行九人浩浩荡荡从新山Larkin出发，搭夜班车，朝着热浪岛前进。

**JY is buying his dinner; WY is the camerawoman.**

12/5
经过了近十个小时的车程，大伙儿来到了Kuala Terengganu的巴士车站。“啊~~终于到了! ” 由于时间还早，我们被安排在Resthouse休息。坐了一整夜的车，这时候大家的肚子都饿了。本想在车站附近买东西吃，但是档口都关着。结果呢，大家的早餐竟然是在7-11买的杯面~~
在我还没来得及把杯面吃完前，载我们到Merang Jetty的巴士来了。匆匆忙忙地，我拿着行李还有杯面上了巴士，还好在巴士还没开前，我把杯面吃完了。。
终于，巴士开车啦！离热浪岛越来越近咯！在未到码头前，巴士把我们载到了一个不像机场的机场。“咦？为什么来机场，不是去码头吗？” 哈哈，原来是要来接机。当然，我们也把握机会四处走走啦。

来到了码头，上了船。“热浪岛，我来啦！”这一路上的船程好像在坐过山车，哈哈，惊险刺激！不知道过了多久，眼前出现了一片白色的沙滩，衬着蓝色的海水。。啊~~~期待已久的热浪岛终于到了！！！
Check in放了行李后，吃了午餐，就是第一次的浮潜活动。接着就是自由活动还有茶点时间。晚餐后，大伙儿就沿着沙滩散步。。在沙滩上走还真不容易哦！我也不知道要怎样形容，我想应该要真正体会一番才能了解吧。=p 走到了Redang bay resort。。正好是Dancing时间，犹豫了一些时间，到底要不要进去跳舞。。结果呢，还是跑了进去。。跳舞是累的咯！跳没多久，我就出了一身汗，没有力气跳了。。佩服JY，为什么可以跳那么久。。

跟着，大家走到了Summer Point food court吃夜宵。但只有JY，MK，ZJ吃东西，而YF、YS还有我只是点了饮料。我们三人还share了一瓶Long Island。意犹未尽的我们，吃完夜宵后，回到我们的resort继续玩游戏。。我想是之前的Long Island酒精成分作祟吧，结果我越玩越high，感觉上好像有点没了形象。。- -"~~之后呢，大家都累了，就回房间睡觉啦！就这样，结束了在热浪岛的第一天~

(to be continued~~)

想知道13/5还有14/5发生了什么事吗？敬请期待下一个entry吧!

Went to Changi Airport to see Travis off this afternoon. He went back to Hong Kong after one-year student exchange programme in NUS.
Glad to know him and the days during the 1st and 2nd KT visit were definitely memorable and happy! A very nice de-stress activity during exam period, lol~~
All the best for Travis and take care!


Back to prepare for the last paper, jia you!! Less than 24 hr and I will be free~~

离考试不到一个小时的时间，把笔记读完了，不知道要做什么，所以就跑到这里来“打发”时间啦！
待会儿要考的将会是我的第四张卷子哦！！大家一定会想：“哇。。那岂不是很快就考完试咯？”哈，其实不然。。我是很快就考完五张卷子里的四张，但是最后一张却是在考试时段的最后一天考。。所以呢，或许很多人都考完试了，而我还必须为最后一张卷子作准备。。不过没关系啦，就当作我是一边放假、一边准备考试啦！想想有那么多天准备，应该不会准备到倍感压力吧~也许觉得无聊的可能性会多一点，LOL!
好啦，时间差不多了，要上考场咯！=）

终于，考试开始。
