- Lazy Sunday -

My favourite way to spend my Sunday is to hang out at the bookstores. As usual, I would woke up early and went for the church. Although I was half asleep throughout the mass, I did listen to the pastor's words. The lesson learned today was "You can envy others, but never compared yourself with others". See I got listen~!!! ^.^

After taking the brunch, I would hang out at the bookstore - reading the magazines, update the latest novel list, gossip on the latest entertainment news and borrow the comics home to read at nights. It was simple activities yet I felt contented.

Then the dramas would accompany me for the rest of my day. Boring??? Hmmm what to do??? It was a lazy Sunday what...a day for you to be lazy and relax. No rush, no pressure and no 'heart-skipping' activities...~!!!! \(^.^)/

- Second Day at Zhao Qing, China -

I had to wake up early in the morning to get ready for our next destination, Zhao Qing. Actually I was woken by my mum who is an early-riser, instead of waiting for the alarm went off. I felt dizzy just to hear that it took approximately 4-hours bus ride to reach Zhao Qing. Faint~!!!




Well, nothing much could be done in the bus except sleeping and sleeping again. In between, I would woke up and viewed the scenery along the roadside. I could see lots of paddy field, corn field and some other agricultural. In certain undeveloped areas, there were poor families and villages – the scenes we usually seen on the TV. But they all had motorcycles and some mid-income families even had car. Today, it was very rare to see the bicycles on the road.

One thing I couldn’t stand was their traffic – very confusing – no laws at all. They were just simply drove and parked along the road, leaving a very limited space for the car to cross. Even it was already a green light for the pedestrians to cross, the cars and motorcycles still coming from all the directions and didn’t stopped. We had to run to cross the road or else might get run over by the car. They would not stop but just kept honking there. Oh my goodness~!!! We just had no idea how their traffic work on the road. It was really confusing~!! But I would give the drivers there a big applaud because they are really a Master in driving – have a very good driving skill. I believed no one can beat the Chinese drivers. They just could have their U-turn whichever or whenever they like and would not get crashed. They could pass the limited space of road without scratching the cars parked on the both side of the road. It was a hell ride in China~!!!



Okay, back to Zhao Qing. On the way to Zhao Qing, we stopped by at one of tourism spot called ‘Gu Po San’ (please translate in Chinese). It was huge – I mean the area as we need a ‘tuk-tuk car’ to bring us to each place in Gu Po San and some more we need to climb/walk for a distance to reach the place. They were hills so imagine climbing up there and going down again. It was tiring yet there was a cold breeze so still bearable. First, we went to visit the waterfall then wine yard and tea garden. Looking at the photos, you’ll see the description saying that there were HK dramas shooting at those places before.






By the end of the day, I was heavily dozed off because need to wake up early again the next day.

p/s: Apologize for my laziness to upload more photos....~

-Letter tO SoMeOne-

Dear Someone,

I heard that you are going to get marry soon. Time flies so fast. In a blink of eye, it was already 10 years. Both of us have grown up, having our own life and family soon. I thought I would never see you again after graduated from high school. Gratefully we did bump into each other after few years. Although we did not spoke to each other, an exchange of smile and nod were enough for me. At least I know you are doing fine and have a great future in front of you. Glad to know that you have putting so much effort to learn and achieve in your career. And you have a great girlfriend too.

There are words I have wanting to tell you all these years but I am such a coward. I never tried to confess to you because I was afraid that I would be rejected. I had a huge crush on you since school days. You have motivated me to work and study harder. During that years, I thought I study hard just because of you. You seem so far ahead of me because you are smart and good in everything. I worked so hard just because I want to stand on the same “line” with you. But today when recalled those memories, I will smile and feel grateful that there is you that time - for being my motivator. Or else I might give up study and everything. So it was for my own good after all.

You have inspired me to have a career in mind instead of being a normal housewife. You told me that girls should have a dream and career as well. You also told me that girls should learn to be independence. I am listening to you. You give me hope and dream. You are part of my dream too but too bad that this dream was not going to realize. You are part of my good memory which going to be locked deep inside my heart. I would like to thank you for being my motivator, my knowledge and for what I am today although I did not achieved something great so far, I truly appreciated for my current situation. I still have a great passion in learning to increase my knowledge. ^.^

I would felt sad in the past few years whenever heard of your news and your girlfriend. But today, I can tell you that I have get over with you already. I have to move on with my life too, right?? There’s just a little bit...a little bit of regret for not confessing to you that time when I had a chance. I have thought a lot of “IF”. If I had confessed to you that time, how are you going to react and response me? If you have accepted me, how are we going to be now? There was a question I never dared and did not have a chance to ask you but I would like to know the answer all this while – Have you ever like me before?? Or at least a little bit?? Guess I will never know or get the answer for the rest of my life.

Lastly but not least, I am sincerely wish you all the best in your life. Take care.

Regards,

- McDonald's -

What are the first thing I did once I stepped out of the arrival hall in LCCT, Malaysia???? Definitely...of course....I was heading to the McDonald direction. I have longed to taste the Malaysian food after the whole week trip in China. Since I was in Kuala Lumpur, I got to taste the McDonald there as it was totally different from Sibu's McD. The burger also looks bigger and nicer....most importantly, taste better~!!!!


There were new burgers launched in McD. So I decided to try the Spicy McChicken Burger instead of Black Pepper McChicken Burger. Looking at the photos illustrated, I bet Black Pepper is more spicy and hot. Not forgotten, a cup of hot tea to warm me up. But regret to order the hot tea as the Spicy McChicken also damn spicy...!!! I had to drink half of my mum's coke...~


See ~ .... The burger appearance also looks better and bigger. Yum yum yum..~ Taste so good despite of its spicy. ^.^

@ Mischievous Kiss a.k.a. Playful Kiss

I believed that most teenagers and youngsters today especially girls were not a stranger to this drama title. It was a hot drama recently as there were several version - Japanese, Taiwan and now Korean. I have watched both Japanese and Korean except Taiwan as I really didn't like the main cast in Taiwan version. I think they looked very fake together.

Anyway, I love both Japanese and Korean. They really did a good job in playing those characters. I have locked myself in the room for weeks to finish the whole episode of this Korean drama. Okay, the first impression on this drama - I think the main actress looks so so only. But after watched till the 3rd episode, I have changed my mind on the main actress. The more I looked at her the more I think she looks adorable especially with the main actor. They looked so good together!!! So sweet....Seems like I have falled into an unrealistic world again...~!!!

Alright, the story was actually based on a popular manga. Oh Ha Ni (main actress) is a clumsy student who has a huge crush on a perfectionist, Baek Seung Joo (main actor). However, Seung Joo not so keen on her due to their huge gap and indifference. So when Ha Ni's house collapsed due to the earthquake, she and her father move into her father's long-time friend's house and it turns out that her father's friend is actually Seung Joo's father. They are staying under one roof and Ha Ni is giving the opportunity to get closer to the guy she loves. Gradually, Seung Joo is touched by Ha Ni's hardworking moves. So there goes the story and romance....~

Thumbs up if you are into Korean Idol Drama...~!!!! Don't miss out this drama..~

-First Day At Zhu Hai-

Once the plane landed at Macau International Airport, I could not hide my contentment to see those colorful lights brightened the whole city. It was indeed a spectacular view. Their airport had added to the credit as well....it was surrounded by the sea!!! Too bad that I am just passing by Macau but it definitely has been added into my 'must travel list'.


We had to stay overnight at Zhu Hai and able to sightseeing their city as well. Hmmm I think Zhu Hai was still under-developed city but I heard the tour leader mentioned that most people stayed in Zhu Hai but worked in Macau. Exactly like our Johor and Singapore. The landmark seen on the photo - Mermaid - there was a touching story behind. Since Zhu Hai was surrounded by sea, the sea breeze was cold especially in the morning.


We also went to this park - I had forgotten the name - for some photos snapping. Then off we went on our route to the next destination - Zhao Qing, China.

-Yo ~!!! -

Yo ~!!! Finally I am back from my trip to China. I never felt so good in my life to be back in Malaysia.

The trip was fun yet lots of stories to tell too. First thing for sure was their toilet culture. Frankly, I thought I can bear with it but I really really really can't. There was three 'No' to describe their toilet. No door, no toilet paper, no water for flushing. Unbearable ~!!!

Another thing was their people. No manner at all. The guys are putting their legs on the chair when eating or the guys will took off their clothes to show their "sexy" body regardless there were girls on the same table or around. The people do not understand the word 'queue'. They didn't queue. They talked loudly and rudely. Their whole body language, one word - 'IMPOLITE'. The waitress were not being taught to put serve the dishes in a proper manner or at least 'Quiet'. They seems like "throwing" the dishes on the table. Bing Bing Bang Bang there~!!! We didn't owe them money ler..~

Lastly, their road was way too dirty, covered by the dust and dirt. If you stand at the roadside just for 1 minute, I believed that you'll definitely covered with dust from head to toe.

I felt good to be back in Malaysia because their food was too oily or else tasteless. Somemore, I was sick on the last few days of my trip so it was miserable. This trip had given me an undescribable experience and feeling....~

- On Vacation -

Yes ~!!! Finally my counting days is coming to an end and tomorrow I will be flying all the way to China.

I have checked my list of 'things-to-bring'. Hope that I didn't miss out anything. I want to bring along a lot of things BUT I need to make sure that my luggage is not overweight or too heavy or else I am going to suffer carrying along the heavy luggage. Being a girl is really troublesome because we always think that we NEED everything and more clothes, end up a heavy luggage or more than one luggage. Sigh ~


-Happy Vacation tO mYself - ^.^

- Me tO yOu -

My favourite bear bear - 'Me To You'. The price for one medium size bear like mine cost RM100++. That was a surprise present from my dear, all the way from United Kingdom. I can only have one 'Me To You' Bear as it was too expensive. I hope to get a bigger one....!! *wishing* (^.^)

I am testing my GF-1 - aperture mode. But I didn't see any 'bokeh effect' a.k.a. DOF lerrrr....I have followed the instruction or setting given by my master (Orh, thanks to Benard for spending his precious time explaining to me....~!!! ^.^ ) The photos are all failed. Hmphhhhh, I have no idea where went wrong.... ??????

As a novice photographer, I think the safer way is to use iA mode. Those complicated setting/modes really give me a headache. BUT I really enjoyed throughout the process of learning. It was an additional knowledge for me. Sigh, I just had a difficulty in remembering the meaning of those modes and what settings to capture what kind of photos.

- Not a GoOd Day -

Waking up on Monday morning was dreadful. I had to drag myself out from the warm blanket and forced my eyes open to welcome the early morning. *Yawn*

GOing to work was another dreadful thing in the morning. Worse, I was clouded by the peer pressure and office politic issues. I was even damn pissed off when dropped my handphone and a scratch on the cover!!! Why am I so pissed off if I was the one being clumsy and dropped the phone?? NO. It's not because I was clumsy or whatever. It was mainly because of my office security guard for being lazy to bring up the stack of newspapers and my assistant not wanting to take the newspapers as well. So the security guard passed to me for their convenience. I had to carry my purse, handphone, keys and now plus the stack of newspapers, my 'lollipop' seems like not so happy with it so she took a suicidal jump !!!! Makes me really want to kick somebody ass at that moment....~

I am not yet cool down because there is a SCRATCH on the cover and it was not perfect anymore...~!!!! What a bad day for me !!!! Yet she still dared to talk to me and acted like she is the boss!!!! %$@#*&%$

- Excited....excited ~!! -

I was so excited for my coming vacation till I keep on looking at the calendar and counting the days...~!!!! This is my first trip to China and joined the tour group as well ~ (It better be good or else I am going to ban the tour group .... ~!!!)

Not sure whether it will be fun or not to join the tour group as there’s a lot of things you have to abide with. I am just worry that my tour group will be 99% comprised of the elders or aunties/uncles. No bias, it just my personal problem. I am bit individualism so still in a learning stage to cope with others.


Guess what, I am going to GUILIN & YANGSHUO ~!!!! They are listed in the ‘PLACES YOU MUST VISIT IN YOUR LIFE’ so I have been to two places in the list (Note: there is really a book named on that title so I didn’t make that up~…..). Anyway, they are my starting point of journey to visit to other places which you MUST visit in life or before death. Hopefully that I can travel to more places/countries in my life if the environment and financially allowed. ^.^

Alright, I have heard a lot of stories about China and the people there. Not a very good impression yet their picturesque scenery were really breathtaking and amazed me. That’s the reason for me to travel to China or else it will never stumble upon me to visit China after heard of their washroom culture and unfriendliness. I can foresee that this trip going to drain my energy as the tour group is famous for their time rushing, hours of bus-riding and we need to pack up for moving from one destination to another destination. IMAGINE THAT…~!!!! Plus the long hours of flight and waiting at the airport…..Sighhhhh….I really need to consume more vitamins and supplements now. But on top of that, I still feel excited and anticipated towards my trip to GUILIN ~!! \(^.^)/



-Counting my days……!!!-
