This is life

活着不必计较太多。
是你的,跑不掉、也抢不了;
不是你的,得到了,也会飞掉。
 善与恶,该不该做,自己心里明了就好;
是与非,该不该说,自己知道就好;
真或假,天知道就好,其他的你管不了。
 生活,越简单越好,不是得到的多,就一定会好。
有时拥有的少,烦恼就少,放下多少,就快乐多少!

Cuz you had a bad day

The less than 3 month old phone is LOST. Gahh, at the age of 20, i'm still not capable of taking care of my own belongings.

True Story

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.

Random

I'm in the midst of completing my Task 1 for E.Law and after scrolling through the social media while slacking i suddenly have the oomph to blog :)

There are times I scroll through pictures in my friends' facebook or blogs and can't help but feel envious; some friends studying abroad are travelling around every other parts of the world, some enjoying their time cooking up a storm while some rich kids owning some cute/pretty stuffs which costs a fortune. I know i know. I should be grateful for what I have now but not that I'm not, I just feel like i can improve my life even more. There are simple things i can do to make myself feel happy, say, posting a handmade card to my family or friends OR decorating my study desk with handmade arts but I just always feel I don't have enough time.

I hope i can quickly go through this process and get to the next stage of life, although i don't want to grow old so quickly. Its a dilemma - wanting to grow up and at the same time, feel like staying young! I just want to realize my dreams quickly and will be putting 100% effort from now on to make my life wonderful. STILL, I am thankful because everyone around me - My Family & My Friends are all safe,healthy and happy. Thank you Lord Buddha for blessing me and my family! Its 11:55pm , gotta get back to work! Happy Wednesday everyone ~

Keeping fit!!

Exercising can be really fun! Holiday is the only time when we can spare some time to do exercise and keep ourselves healthy. Sissy's friend invited us to Orient Fitness for a free trial this evening. We decided to try out the Kickboxing and Zumba dance session since we were free and always lacked exercise.


ZUMBA DANCE!! Just in case you have no idea what Zumba dance is, its a combination of dance and aerobics. You can google or youtube "zumba dance" for more information. The dance steps for zumba were fast but repetitive,so all you need to do is be swift and you will be able to keep up with the pace. Kickboxing(with approx 20mins of abs workout) was a tad too tiring for a person with poor stamina like me. I find both the sessions fun and both made me sweat a lot.

All in all, anyone who comes across this post of mine should really consider trying these interesting workouts. Forgive me if you feel like i'm overreacting because i really loved it! :)

WHAT A RELIEF !

The long awaited holidays are finally here after the dreadful exams. This semester was a really tough one for us. I've learnt a lot during from this semester. University life is not only about obtaining a degree before proceeding to working life but it really makes you grow stronger. Determination and perseverance are the two things i've learnt this semester. No matter how hard is it, tell yourself you'll get through it soon. No matter how tough is it, stay strong. No matter how miserable life is, NEVER GIVE UP.

I do not know how my results will turn out to be, but I can say that I have done my best. This holiday should be a rewarding one for me as i need to rest well, have a peace of mind and get ready to fight again next semester. Year 2 is no longer easy and we need to stay strong both physically and mentally. Gotta start planning and scheduling for next semester.

Thought of enjoying the huge variety of food in my hometown this holiday but the weighing scale said "NO". I needa control my diet before i grow fatter. Going for a jog with my unimate which is also from Penang later. Hopefully i can build up my stamina and is fit for hiking again when i'm in Sarawak :)

Happy Wesak Day to all my Buddhist friends! Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Holidays

Another holiday about to pass by! 3 more days before i get back to Miri and I'm glad to say my short trip back to Penang is worthwhile. I made the right decision to come back!

Despite the coming exams, I've allowed myself to relax and enjoy the times with my friends & family. Hopefully i'm able to catch up on my studies when i'm back in Sarawak.

I had the chance to bake bread puddings, pizzas, with my family(pics will be up when i get my phone cable), which i think is one of the best part of my holidays. More baking activities to come during the next holiday!

If you've seen my posts in twitter, you'd have already know that yesterday was my first experience of an Earthquake. A very minor one. Thank god the Tsunami alert was called off and nothing bad happened. Such a minor Earthquake already scared us, just imagine what will happen if we're caught in massive tremors? I know there will be a time that it will come back to haunt us, because of all the things we have done to the environment. We might not be able to change the other people, but doing our own part in saving the Earth is already sufficient,so we should modify our living habits to really save the Earth. Change ourselves before we change the others.

永远

当我们被人误解,受了委屈,
达不到想要的结果时,
会觉得一切的努力好像都白费了力气。

不必否认坏心情的来临,
这只是人生的另一个考验,
千万不要让自己的心情继续堕落。

所以请告诉自己,
这段灰色的时间,
一定,一定会过去的。

没有不平息的暴风雨,
天空也不会永远黑暗。

没有永远好的事,
也没有永远坏的人。

因为世界上根本没有,
永远的事。

- No Title -

What a huge relief! Felt relieved after sitting for fluid mechanics midterm. Although it is just a midterm, but I felt nervous and stress!

This weekend will be my rest days, although I really need to start working on my two lab reports and two assignments which are due next week!! I am really looking forward to next Friday, not only because it is Good Friday, but because I'm going back to Penang (and also going to Ching Ming with my family in Ipoh) !!

Oh and btw Me and my gang of friends have suddenly decided to join the Curtin race tomorrow. It is something like treasure hunt where you need to complete tasks in a team of 4. This is the first time I'm joining such activity, but i'm pretty sure it'll turn out to be fun ^^ Will update you guys about my first experience participating in Curtin Race soon. Stay tuned.

Good Life

Its 730pm here, and the sky outside looks as if its already 830pm. Tomorrow is the start of Week 5 - one of the most critical week of the sem, because we're having our Fluid Mechanics mid term this coming Friday!

I'd always been a slow learner and often seen as a slow thinker too. Even some simple task might take me a long time to complete. After much thought, I'm determined to join more activities instead of always staying home facing lecture notes and text books(or Facebook)this sem.

Currently joined Curtin's Mechanical Engineering Club(CUMEC), Curtin Volunteer, and most probably registering myself as a Badminton Club member during the club's Welcoming Party this Friday. :)

Who ever said life was easy ? No one did. I realized the most important thing we should do is ENJOY LIFE. No matter how busy you are, spend time speaking to your loved ones(remember love is not just for couples), keeping in touch with your bestie, have fun, and don't forget to exercise to keep yourself physically and mentally healthy.

That's what I tell myself when i feel stressed and lock myself in the room to study. Remember, when you're overloaded, fight the urge to work harder but instead slow down and reflect on what matters most! Hope that helps anyone of you who are also feeling stressed!

Have an awesome week ;)

First week

First week of the new semester ended... leaving us with piles of revision and work to do! Nevertheless, uni is never bored with the crazy uni mates i have here ;)They just keep you laughing all day long despite the long hour classes you need to attend. And yeah, that's what friends are for!

This is the first year we are divided into our own majors and no longer have classes in the big Lecture Theater like we used to. Classes are much smaller & work loads are getting more and more heavy.

Oh! And who said lel can't cook ? That's a pic of what I've put up on the dining table last Tues. :)




Went to Bintang Mall with friends today, had lunch @ Pizza Hut and got a new badminton racket finally! Besides that, I've started spending the book voucher for some stationery in Popular Bookstore.


Ahhhh I'm missing the lazy days back in Penang where i can go out with family and friends everyday.



The ones i miss the most ♥ I will work hard!!

Happy Valentine's , no ?

Went out with the bunch to celebrate Valentine's. Finally managed to catch up with King & Wuan Xin who are studying in Aussie while Huijing & Baron joined us too. Breakfast at Gurney Paragon's meet fresh, then proceeded to Gurney Plaza's KOI for lunch and had laksa opposite PCGHS for tea! It was a rather FOODful day for us.





Today's hang out reminded me that I have only less than two weeks back in Penang before classes resume!! Must fully make use of these last few days here ^^ Happy Valentine's day / Happy Tuesday to all!

Holiday holiday holiday

While many were busy smashing coconuts and throwing mandarin oranges, it was just another ordinary public holiday for the 6 of us - Monkey Maniacx had a round Penang trip!

Well, we called it a round Pg trip but in fact, we've only visited one of the heritage site-Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion and it was closed so we only managed to take a few pics from outside the building.

The day started with Huijing picking us up from queens then we headed to Tanjung Bungah's Dari korean restaurant for lunch. The food was ok but we waited for quite a long time before we were served.

2 Jap kids looking at a baby. They look so cute!






Lighthouse Coffee for tea :)


Finally a pic of the 6 of us!

Comes to an end, again

Its my last day of work today at D'monte Educare. At first I wanted to work half more month during February, but after deep considerations, decided to enjoy the remaining 3 weeks of holidays with my friends and family before I go back to Sarawak again. Will definitely miss my students ...


Bryan Oon with his signature wide smile


Super fair Lay Yang with his zombie look


Jia Sern, Cheeky & Naughty


Adam


Lim Ken,gets jealous easily when i hug the other kids


Ting Huan who always sings to Bad Romance & calls himself Lady Huan



Lik Wooi & Me during Xmas Party


Teacher Khor Vs Zombie


Elson


I love his "I Love Cambodia" shirt !

Frankly speaking, the kids nowadays are really hard to teach and handle. The parents are too protective which cause them to become spoilt brats. According to Teacher Khor, I've improved my skills in handling kids(more precisely, I've learnt to become fiercer, hehe). Sometimes the way they act makes you angry, but at the same time makes you wanna laugh. All in all, I enjoy being called "Teacher Liew" and being around with the kids. :)

Some memorable moments with the students - (Educare's Penang Heritage Trip)









Chia Ying and Lik Wooi invited teachers to their house for BBQ during CNY , in conjunction of Lik Wooi's birthday which falls on 30th Jan.





Tomorrow is 1st of February - Sis is on leave and coming back! Mum & Dad have already purchased the tickets for The Viral Factor. Have not been to the cinema with the whole family for such a long time. Happy Holiday to me! ^^ Happy February to everyone !!

You Happy,I Happy

Waited eagerly for the Teh Family to arrive at our home to have a mini reunion lunch prepared by super mum during Chinese New Year Eve. Some dishes were given by Aunty Mei while my aunt from Ipoh prepared one of her specialty(白斩鸡) as well. 13 people having lunch at our backyard, it was really really merry. I love it when the house is filled with laughter and chattering.


Awesome lunch set up by us.

After lunch, the cousins suggested to go shopping at Queensbay. Without any hesitation, all of us agreed so Sis drove us to Queensbay. This is the first time sis is fetching us out and we were quite nervous :P After shopping, Cousin Penny treated us to the Paddington's House of Pancakes for tea!





After a satisfying afternoon tea, we set home to prepare and dress up for dinner at E&O. One meal after another, guess we'll have to prepare a diet plan after CNY to keep fit.






With Cheeky Cousin Justin

As usual, we went to the hotel slightly earlier to snap some family photos before the dinner commences.


Happy Family













This year was a bit special, we went home for countdown to avoid the crowd and traffic congestion. The adults chatted and enjoyed their wine while we the teenagers played cards :)



Cheers!



Wonderful CNY Eve spent with the extended family . Hope everyone enjoyed it with their family too!
