  • Still Moving, Still Kicking

    Still Moving, Still Kicking

    Still Moving, Still Kicking – People changes from time to time, it’s hard to define one-self from the beginning or set a long-term goal for one. I prefer one to set a short term goal, achieve it and keep setting the short term till you reach something else because everything is changing day-by-day; your thoughts, your views and your perceptions on everything. That’s what ‘growing up’ means, I guess.

    I am not ‘gung-ho’ in blogging like during my high school time, which I craved for the attention, at the same time enjoyed sharing content. As time goes on, laziness struck in, filled with busy work, interest diverted, or I was lacked of persistence to continue to writing. I would just say, thing’s changed. It’s 2015 and I am 23 years old, I could say a lot of things have changed, or in a better words, upgraded. Looking back in the good-ol-time and indulging in it doesn’t make things moving, I prefer making today and tomorrow better and fullest.

    Well, just a simple Sunday writing that is telling myself that I am still moving and kicking hard although I’ve not been writing or social media-ing like before. That’s another way of life, yeah.

  • Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It

    Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It

    Feeling Lost, Something New, Just Do It–  Hi all, it’d been a few weeks since I’ve posted something here, and I guess it’d been quite a long time I write something personal, a thought. Recently, as usual I am and will be so much busy with the design assignments that I’ve, only until end of May I will put an end to it and that’s the end of my interior design study. I don’t know, it seems that as time goes by, my interest and passion in working out on the interior design project has diminish. I feel lost, but I still haven’t given up on it yet as I’m still like looking at beautiful spaces on website occasionally and still love planning clean concept space. It’s just, I’m not as passionate as other interior designers out there. Hmmmmm.

    Somehow, the other side of me is unleashing a crave to swim in the sea of entrepreneurship, it’s just something that I’ve never thought of and I hope it’s not too late to get a grasp on it. I was inspired by lots of Youtube videos about startup, and entrepreneurship, e.g. how former Alibaba’s CEO Jack Ma started the company, The Startup Kid & lots of TED talk. The videos somehow trigger my mind to lean away from what I’m doing right now which they were quite motivating and inspiring. It seems like I am enjoying this more than that. Well, I would surely wanted to explore this new field someday in the future (soon that I hope, not today, too much of assignments), yet I still don’t want to dump the skill that I’ve gained in the past 3 years in university about designing spaces for people. What can I do?

    The thing about me is the lack of perseverance of doing something (which has been in me for some times and I hate it)t, I realised for anything to success, perseverance is more important than anything else, not to mention courage, and determination. I am not trying to ask for any opinion in this rambling post, nor to tell the world about me lacking perseverance, it’s just that at this moment, I felt that I need to write it down, tell myself that I must work hard and determine in doing something right now, ‘I am 22 years old, I want to do it, I have to do it and I must do it.’, it’s not high school nor college anymore! No more slacking and just gonna get shit done and just do it. When I recalls this post in the future, hopefully I will be proud of myself of later because of today. To those who are lack of the determination to do something, I hope that you can start telling yourself, ‘ fck that sh!T, just do it now’. – Good night, it’s warm here in the UK, just 7 degree celcius, welcome to Spring 2014.

  • Thank You Lee Chong Wei

    Thank You Lee Chong Wei

    Thank You Lee Chong Wei – I believe many of you were watching the Olympic Badminton Final together in your room, living room, outside with friends and anywhere. It’s sad and pity to see just two point slipped away. I believe some of you cried for him too.

    I was watching with my housemate, it was really nervous and exciting. Watching the point being tied at most of the time was just so uneasy, it’s like riding on a roller coaster. Twitter was trending ‘DLCW’ ‘Don’t Let China Win’ ‘LCW4GOLD’, I join the talk with ‘Don’t Let China Win’, unfortunately, Lin Dan wins again.

    No doubt LD is good, but Dato Lee Chong Wei is good as well! Perhaps, he is our Malaysian Pride. He is the one who unite the whole Malaysia to watch a badminton match. Although Negaraku cannot be heard, we still can see Malaysia flag rising into the air.

    You did great, thank you Lee Chong Wei.

    By the way, Lin Dan sucks. LOL. What a ‘kukujiao shithead’ with an arrogant face. Good night guys! Tomorrow sing k, woohoo!

  • Chinese New Year Lighting

    Chinese New Year Lighting

    Chinese New Year Lighting – Those who celebrate Christmas, they will get a Christmas tree and decorate it nicely with bells, candies, gift boxes as well as LED lighting. My family is not really a Christmas person when it comes to Christmas, our house doesn’t has a Christmas tree.

    However, when it comes to Chinese New Year, we will hunt for Chinese lanterns as well as those LED lighting. Different types of lighting can be seen at almost every electrical and lighting shops in Penang. It sort of light up some part of the city too. Now you see that Chinese has their love on lighting too.

    Do you decorate your home of garden with these kind of lighting?

  • Good Night – Miss Abu Maggi Mee

    Untitled

    Penang people sure know about this road, Jalan Datuk Koyah which become happenings at night when Abu Mamak Stall start operating. The springy Maggi instant noodle cook in a pan fried way, serving with an omelet and deep fried chicken, it’s just interesting and mouth watering to eat at late night even that eating at late night is not a good habit.

    At this moment, I misses the Maggi Goreng Ayam. HAHA. Good night. Where in KL can I find Abu-style Maggi Mee?

    Feel free to read my food blog (Shiok Or Not) when you are hungry!

  • Parking And Walk To Taylor’s On Wednesday

    This is quite a random post about what happened last Wednesday at Taylor’s University. Class was at in the middle of the day and I pretty hate it because of the hassle of looking for a parking spot in the campus.

    Parking in university is always not a good thing as there’s so many student and cars where parking spots are not able to accommodate everyone, especially when selfish people like me don’t want to park at the paid zone. Even if I am forced to park at the paid zone, it would be full.

    I parked far far away that afternoon, and took a nice walk about 400m to campus from car park. The weather was pretty cloudy and good. Wonder why it’s raining here so much, typhoon in Taiwan, hurricane in the USA and here we got the rainy days.

    I wonder why the school want to collect fee for student’s parking. Why is the fee we paid isn’t able to cover a parking spot, I wonder why. It’s ok to collect money for parking fare, but at least built us a proper parking area with a good covered walkway that protect us from the shines and rain. Then I will shut my mouth up. Imagine walking to and from the car in the midst of hot sun or a rainy day.


    Spotted an unknown lecturer got a surprise birthday wish from her friends. Pretty cool.

    The school is getting more and more commercialize which isn’t a good way of promoting education. That’s reality, that’s fact.

    One fact about Taylor’s University is that the traffic jam that occur around 4pm everyday. It’s the super big jam in campus, connecting out to the main road until the nearest traffic light. A normal good flow of traffic will takes about less than 10 minutes out but with a jam, do expect about half an hour.

    I have already accepted the shity rocky parking, finding a parking spot and walking towards class. That’s my college life. HA! Blablabla.
