one more month


Time passes really fast. 5 months holiday will come to an end soon. Staring at the calendar and realized that its already end of May. By the end of June, I have to go back to that place again. Its time to step out from the comfort zone. No more being pampered. No more home cooked food.

Recall back what I've done within these few months. Although I have lots of free time but not much things were done. Laziness is the main reason perhaps. This post will be a long one, summarizing what I've done for the past few months, mostly with photos.

February
It was Chinese new year few days after I officially completed my one and a half year A-Levels programme. One year ago, I only celebrated the first and second day of cny in Kuching and had to fly back to KL on the third day as my class resumed on the 4th day of new year. Was feeling sad for not having a longer time at here. This year is different. I can have my cny celebrated with family and friends from day one till fifteen. However, not much photos were taken this year. =(

Second day of CNY.
I think we don't have much chance to take photos together again after middle of this year. You and I will be busy with our own stuffs and our schedule for holiday will not be the same anymore.


Valentine's Day at Basaga


Chap Goh Mei celebration at the waterfront.
Thanks for accompanying me though it was very crowded and the weather was hot.

By the end of February, Tong Min and her family visited Kuching. We brought them to a few places such as the museum, waterfront and green hill. As the weather was not so good and kept raining for the whole day when they were here, our plan to Semenggok was cancelled. Hence, no orang utans were seen.

Felt sorry for not being able to bring them to lots of places due to the bad weather.

March
I supposed to have a vacation to Penang with my brother and one of his friend. Due to some reason, Alvin and his friend could not go and ended up I was the only one going. I spent my first 2 days at Kulim and the following 2 days at Penang. Million thanks to Tong Min and her family for their hospitality as well as her uncle for being the tourist guide and drove us around.

Tropical Spice Garden, a place that we donated a lot of blood to the mosquitoes.


After the vacation in Penang, I managed to meet up with Kai Yen. She was my ex-roommate when I was in Labuan Matriculation College. We had dinner at Ten-Ichi Japanese Restaurant.

roommate for one and a half month


we love taking photos together.

As for my 20th birthday, I have it celebrated with him and my friends at Good Time Cafe. Thanks for those who celebrated with me.

Few days after my birthday, I went to ShenZhen with dad and mum. Part of it was for vacation, part of it was to visit my aunt at HuiYang.

May
Had vacation of 6 days to Yangon, Myanmar with dad and mum. Again, Alvin could not follow us for the trip this time. For the first 3 nights at Yangon, we stayed at the Thamada Hotel at the city centre. The hotel is not far away from the China town. It cost us 1500 kyat, approximately RM6 to reach china town from our hotel.

the famous Shwedagon Pagoda. It looks nicer during the night time as the lightning makes it more golden.

That's the sumamry of what I've done for the past few months. Another one month of free time at home. Do hope that I can utilize the time left before my degree starts. =)

Live fully, Love deeply, Laugh often

Listen to your heart...
With a little bit of thinking...
Follow what your heart tells..


Enjoy the beauty of the things around you...
Even the smallest things in life should not go unappreciated...
They are the gifts in life.


Treasure the moments you have with your families and your loved one.

We do not know how much time left we have.
Appreciate every moment we have now.
Do not wait for next time as we do not know whether there is any next time.
Treat every moment as the last time so that we are more appreciative and not take things for granted.

Life is short.
So, live fully, love deeply and laugh often.
Cheers =)

16th April 2011

After sending Uncle Sim and Aunt Lena off to airport, I had a date with miss Kai Yen, my ex-roommate while I was in matriculation college in Labuan. We went for a dinner at Basaga. The atmosphere of that place is quite nice. As we have not seen each other for quite some time, we updated each other about ourselves and had heart-to-heart talk. Besides, we also enjoyed taking photos of each other using her toy.


couldn't remember the name of these two dishes.



classic pose of us


We ♥ the reflection of water in the pool.



A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. =)

One weekend in Kuching

14-16 April 2011

Uncle Sim and Aunt Lena visited us last weekend. It was their second visit toKuching after so many years. After we had our lunch at After Three, we planned to bring them to Fort Margherita. Though we can see the FortMargherita easily at the waterfront, it took us about one and a half hours to find its exact location. Drive in and out for several times before we finally reached there.

After that, we then went for ice-kacang near Jubilee Ground and dinner at Pending seafood centre.

The next day, we visited the The Pitcher Plant & Wild Orchid Garden at Kota Padawan. You can find varieties of pitcher plants and wild orchids there but I don't think I will go back to that place again as I donated a lot of blood to the mosquitoes there.

People said they look like brothers.

At night, we had dinner at Golden Court Restaurant that is located at Rock Road. This restaurant is famous for its crab. They have crabs that are cooked in 21 varieties. After dinner, dad sent Uncle Sim and Aunt Lena who is very interested in politics to Stutong wet market for the grand finale talk as Sarawak election 2011 is on the next day.

Saturday, which was the election day, was their last day in Kuching. We had Sarawak laksa at Golden Arch for breakfast and crab again for lunch before sending them to airport. I do hope they enjoyed their 3 days 2 nights trip to Kuching.
