L.O.V.E

I think everyone's crazy about this matter, LOVE, the most powerful word that can make us happy throughout our life. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. As adolescents or young adults, most of us sometimes are desperate for love. The only thing is that, we cannot simply seek love from someone whom we don't love. I've seen many of these cases during my secondary school. It's not wrong to have a crush on someone, but then CRUSH is not LOVE. Many of my friends had their first love occupied during secondary school times, but what I thought is that, love won't bloom during that moment.

Here's my opinion about this:
During secondary school,
1) we tend to try new things out of curiosity, including looking someone for a date.
2) we tend to show off that we are actually attached, which turned out to be puppy love.
3) we tend to hurt other person's feelings when we broke up with him/her.
( That is why I don't even attempt to seek for love during secondary school) ^^

But when we reached the age of 19 and above, we get to understand the real meaning of love. We enjoyed love, happy being in love to someone special. We cared for each other, and it is the most wonderful moment in our life. When we keep thinking someone we love, we can feel happiness, the happiness that I mentioned is extraordinarily different, yet interesting.

Well, when you love that person, you have to fight for him/her. Get the love that you want. There might be many obstacles in life, especially loving someone. You might think that the person's parents do not let you both to be together, or that person just want to concentrate in his/her studies. Or sometimes, religion might become the barrier too. I know, it's hard to fight for this, but nothing is impossible!

However, love kills too! The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else. The feeling of sadness can even makes you think of committing suicide. Or when you saw him/her with other partner in front of you, you'll feel very emotionally unstable. So, before this happens, make her of him to be happy with you, do not let others to take him/her away from you, you have to fight for love, not just let him/her go. Well, maybe for others, they might think of the meaning of love in different ways, but I can only tell that loving someone isn't easy. I wish everyone who read this will really think of how to face the problem while loving someone, not avoid it because it is not going to help, instead worsening it!

If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.

What is L.O.V.E?

This is the first time of my life experiencing how LOVE works..

All this long, my friends kept asking me whether i'm attached, and when i answered them,''I'm still single", their surprised expression made me feel uneasy.

Why everyone keeps thinking that I already have a girlfriend? Nonsense!

I never have a girlfriend before even during my secondary school days.

Even few of my friends purposely introduced girls to me, and we ended up as normal friends.

Why don't I look for one instead?

Okay, I admit there are few girls like me a lot, they even did something that makes me feel touched, but among them, whom should I choose? Which type of girls I like? Is the girl's physical appearance and looks are really important for me?

If I have a girlfriend, is it because I love her? If yes, how deep? When I saw her at anywhere, how do I feel? Happy or just normal? Well, I start experiencing this kind of thing when I met a girl whom I started to be interested of.

Of course, I wont write the answer here, because whether I love her or not, I'm not sure. 

How about others who admitted that they like me? I didn't reject them as well. Aishhh! Headache!

But then if I have a girlfriend, if I found out that we're not actually match, should I break up with her? I'm not sure. I guess that I'm not ready for the whole process yet. But then I really hope I can find a person who really can be with me whenever and wherever I go..

Blood Donation Campaign, One Drop One Hope.

 

It was a pleasant Saturday morning, I got up from my bed at 7am. Yeah, it was a little too early for me to wake up on weekends. But this time, there is a reason I woke up early, I joined my university's Leo Club in organising a blood donation campaign at a mall in Sungai Petani town. There were about 33 volunteers joined to help up during the campaign. And it was really a successful campaign that the number of people donating their blood exceeds the targeted number! I can't believe there are many people actually still care and are willing to do something for the community by donating their blood. Previously, if I did not join to assist in this campaign, I would not know the importance of  blood donation. And that's the reason why I wrote about blood donation in my blog. This event eventually create awareness among the people that donating blood can save a life! Okay, as a Christian, do you want to serve the Lord? If yes, how? Well, I can say by helping up in charity work such as blood donation and also donate blood is one of the way you can do on behalf of God! We all know our limitation to save others life, but it is not impossible. By just simply donate blood of yours, you can save a person who might be dying of loss of excessive blood in an accident. It is a good thing if you know that your blood can make people survive from walking through their way to death. As the saying says, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give", I am prepared to help!^^

The Fear To Overcome Fear!! Back To Campus!!

Trip to the Pearl of the Orient!

Ryokan Hotel! A historical-like building!

During this Raya holidays, I had the chance to go for a trip to Penang AGAIN! Usually, I joined my group of friends whom I always used to be with for a trip to this wonderful island. However, this time all of my friends planned to spend their holidays with their family at home. And so, I am alone again, fortunately, God doesn't want me to be alone, and He encourage me to make new friends and even let me to join them for a trip! Anyway, I knew them in the church . It was an amazing and enjoyable trip, and I will never forget this moment!

We went to Penang for 3 days and 2 nights. And we stayed at Ryokan Hotel, which is a place that most of the Penang citizens are not aware of its existence! I can say that only tourists from overseas know this hotel, and I tell you, it is not an ordinary hotel. This hotel is built with Japanese concept, you can see it by its design and style! This hotel has dorm concept as well and believe it or not, there are no differences when staying in my university's hostel. The room is occupied with 4 double decker beds and 4 cupboards for us to keep our bags. And we share our bathrooms with other guests. The most interesting part is that I get to know few tourists from England, China and Taiwan! All the guests are from overseas, and we are the only local who stayed there. "Ahhhh, I've reached somewhere I am not belong to!"^^

                                                                        Day 1:

This photo was taken outside Penang Times Square^^

After unpack our stuff in the hotel, we started our stroll around Komtar, and we saw a stall which sell Penang's famous mouth-watering Cendol and Ice Kacang at a corner of a row of old shops, and it is very cheap yet delicious! Then, we went to Prangin Mall for shopping, and I bought 2 T-shirts with affordable price. We spent about half a day shopping there. Then we went to Macalister Road for dinner, of course, we won't miss Penang's Char Kuey Teow and "Oh Jien" (fried oyster with egg) as well! Then after dinner, we went back to hotel and enjoyed the night there!

Day 2:

A photo taken in Gurney Plaza of Penang^^

Another day came, the weather was humid and the Sun was not blazing hot with little rain. It was the most suitable temperature where we can walk around without sweating. We went to Queensbay Mall on the second day, and we took the whole day shopping! There were a variety of delicious food at the food court which we could not miss! We explored every single shop present at the mall, and you know, it was a very exciting experience! Then, around 7:30pm, we headed to Gurney Plaza. We walked around and took our Japanese dinner there. It seemed that we did not buy anything, but we enjoyed walking around the mall and looking at things! Before 10:30pm, we went back to our hotel. It was a tiring day though!

 

 

 

Day 3:

Finally, the last day in Penang, we spent our time to Penang Times Square for a stroll and walked along the row of shops outside the buildings. There I bought few boxes of Penang's famous Tambun biscuits which every tourists can't miss to buy it! Then around 7pm, after we had our dinner at the Red Dragon Restaurant which is located just few miles from our hotel, we decided to go back. We rode a ferry to Butterworth and went back to Sungai Petani by bus, same as what we did when we were heading to Penang! We reached AIMST around 10PM. It was tiring but a nice trip indeed! I would like to go for a trip like this again with them in the future!

Although there are some experiences which I didn't share in here, but I can say that this trip not only can bridge our friendship gap closer, I can make new friends as well! The time spent during the trip is not wasted, it was fun and breathtaking! ^^

Final Destination 5 Showtime!!

Here it comes! Final Destination 5 is finally out for show!

I've just watched this creepy movie today!

When my friends and I were out for an outing this noon, we decided to watch a movie, and here it is. We have decided to watch Final Destination 5 as the other movies showtimes are at night, and that time I was thinking in my mind, "OMG! I'm not gonna to watch this disgusting movie in cinema!" I know I don't have the guts to watch such movie in the cinema.

But then, I keep telling myself, "It's okay, my frens are here to watch the movie together, so it might not be that scary."

When the show started, I began to cover my ears with my hands, sensing there will be something happened to the characters. It was not scary actually, it was nauseating instead! If such accident can happen in our life and we can really visualise it, then there will be no fate in this world. It is impossible to predict our destiny. Only God knows everyone's destiny, He's the creator of the world!

The movie is too exaggerating, but everyone knows it is only for entertainment purposes, so just enjoy it!

Fuh! I'm not going to explain the synopsis of the story line of this movie, but I can say that it is a movie which makes my heart beating faster, and it is a nice movie to watch!

Children under 18 should not watch this alone, it is not recommended to them. Haha^^ 

The Fear To Overcome Fear!! Back To Campus!!

Have you experienced the fear of going back to campus? Well, I'm not discussing about fear in this column, instead I am talking of my feelings when it is the time for me to get back to my university. When I woke up this morning, I reluctantly got off  my bed and kept thinking that my holidays were actually ended today! This unexplained feelings started to engulf my mood of the day. When I reached Tawau Airport, I felt a cold shiver around my body,and that is the feeling of uneasiness. When I was in the plane, I kept thinking whether I was afraid to go back to my campus, and I realised that I was not afraid at all. It is just a kind of feelings that I dont wanna leave my family behind. I relaxed myself by controlling myself not to think such thing. While on board, I was reading my new storybook The Chicken Soup For The Soul ''Campus Chronicles", and guess what, I actually read the stories about what I was going through today. When I took my first step at my room, I felt delighted and met my lovely roommates back ever since we were off for holidays. At that moment, things were not that scary after all!  I finally accepted the reality that I am going back to continue my studies, and I have to leave my family afar and get a degree back to make them proud. That is what I wish for now, nothing more than I can wish for, gand with God's blessings, I believe I can do it. There are many people supporting me, FRIENDS and FAMILY. Once I thought of that, I finally overcome my fear! I was thinking too much after all. But then it's a good start of my second year!

Freedom of Choice..The Chinese Language..

People say we decide our own life, not only depend to God, but also our luck and perseverance..

Today, I learn some Chinese words which are quite easy, but I knew I still have a long journey to go in order to complete my Chinese language lesson all by myself..

It's very hard to learn without anyone assisting me though. Nevertheless, I'm lucky to have a bunch of friends who are trying to help me to go through this..

While I was learning of how to write the word ''自由'' which means ''freedom'', I suddenly thought of the purpose I learn Chinese language..

Actually, I just want to improve myself in this language so that I can catch up with my friends who speak Chinese very well, as if I dont even understand a word at all..

For me, it doesn't matter whether I can speak the language well or not, as long as everyone understands what I am trying to say..

But one thing that I'm proud of, is my English language..I realised I'm comfortable and spontaneous in speaking English..

So, why not just speak English?? Well, it's just for self improvement.. 

I just want to communicate well with everyone by using a language that they feel comfortable to..

Actually it's not a big deal of using the language or not, most importantly the person whom I talked to understands me..Who cares whether it's wrong or not, everybody makes mistake, so I'm not feel shameful or lose confident whenever I made a mistake..

All of these, I just want to say, I have my FREEDOM to decide what I want!

Well, wish me luck in mastering Chinese language, the ancient language used by my ancestors very long time ago!!^^

The Love of My Life is the Love Between Friends..

While I was clicking the mouse, all of a sudden I was thinking of looking back my photos that I had taken in my lappy..and here it is!! I found this photo, a photo of which I like the most, the 5 Berlian gathering in Tawau Pizza Hut..there's nothing special about this photo though, but what makes it to become special to me is that the memories that I've gone through with my beloved friends who are in this photo too..Now we are separated far apart to fulfill their own dreams for their future..Although there are still few of them in Tawau, the rest are in other place: Kuala Lumpur (majority), even some of them are really far from here: United Kingdom and New Zealand..However, I really wish we will have such gathering in few years ahead, as everyone will be back again and gather together..There's no such thing that some of us are not close to each other or what, the most important is friendship..It's hard to look for true friends like them, so it's better to appreciate the friends that you have..As the saying says. "It takes a long time to grow an old friend." 

Shopping Spree and Food Heaven in Kuala Lumpur!!

It was the best a-week-holiday-trip ever in July 2011 to KL!! With the Mega Sale banner hanging around the main entrance of most shopping malls really attracted me. Talking about shopping, I visited almost all of the shopping malls in KL city. Imagine I spent just a day to visit 4 places for shopping, namely the KLCC, Pavilion, Times Square and Sungei Wang Plaza. Of course I wont miss Mid Valley Megamall, The Gardens and Sunway Pyramid Mall, but it was on the other days of the trip. Well, it feels like I'm squandering my money to buy nice clothes and especially a pair of CROCS SHOES which is worth about RM188!! But it's just fun to buy whatever you want (forget about the credit card debt), but it does not mean that I am a shopaholic, hellooo it's just once in a bluemoon. Haha. Well, another nice thing that I had enjoyed during this trip is the food! When you see the photo posted on top of this, are you wondering what kind of food is this?? Well, it's Soup in a Bread, and it's actually creamy mushroom soup poured into a bowl-like bread, special huh?! And there are a lot of food that I didn't mention here but you really have to try it!! I'll miss those moment of stress-free shopping in KL!!
