the return

The return. Sounds like a movie. Haha! =) Indeed, no man is an island. Well, at least I agree with my both hands stretched above. Made my way back to KL for a few days, main reason was to attend the counselling course that i've signed up for, already the 3rd class.

Moreover, friends are all over here! =D I really really miss everyone "up" here. Didn't say staying in Kluang isn't ideal, but sometimes, friends really made my day and i've spending my days and nights eventfully. =)) Will be going back to Kluang tomorrow... until further notice for my job. O___o" Btw, there are two more classes left for Saturdays. =]

Ray's back! :) With Kinder Happy Hippos from London =D

Thank you. Appreciate it. Taste good.

I know, i am always the hippo that is so "well-known".

Close your eyes also think i am one of them. *terrible*

Met Kerhuey and Ray for 2 days.

This was taken on the 2nd day morning during breakfast. Bid goodbye to Kerhuey who's leaving Cheras. Really gonna miss her laughters, her kepoh-kepoh speeches. ^^ When we leave, we just gotta leave silently. Else, the unbearable-weeping feeling will always be there. @_@"

Thank you for being a genuine friend to me. ^^

Lots of memories are kept and stored.

Till we meet again!! Later that day, met my sis. =) Spent the day with her and a lot of "others" at One U. -.- So many people and the aircond wasn't performing! *roar*

met new friend, Jasmine- Hui Ru's close friend.

Good to make new friend sometimes and she's pharmacist. =]

Called off the day on Haji by playing badminton with them at night, with Liew too. This pic is very extreme. =_= i mean, look at me. O_________o" terribly huge!***************************************

Then, Counselling Class on Saturday at Agape Counselling Centre. Throughout the class, I was like riding a mental-emotion-roller coaster for free. It was a rainy day, so was my heart. Such a proper life-reflective session with everyone during that day. Thank you for listening to me. =)

We were provided a christmas card.

Initially i thought it's meant for someone around u.

But it was for us, ourselves. =)

I wrote something for myself after the "roller coaster". ^^

Saturday was a great day apart from emotions rushing in and out within myself.

Had a very chatty, laugh-ful night with the makan gang. It's been quite some times, guys. =) Miss u all! especially those funny stupid bickers! Haha! Too full due to food and laughters. ^^

*************************************

Sunday, badminton in the afternoon again. XD Cacat body. Joan's birthday concludes the beautiful Sunday. =)

Beautiful time passed by faster than it seemed. We've all graduated and everyone is embarking into another new phase of life. Leaving certain things or people behind. No matter what, memories are always the best scripts for us to keep, unless we are brainless. ^^

Dear Mizz

Old jor. 19 jor. 23th Nov passed jor.

Haha! =)

Happy Birthday, Mizz!
Wish you all the best in your future endeavours! :)

Be happy!

Be confident in what you're believing in.

Be wise (not smart).

Be sensible.

Loves you!

^^

the consequence

Something amusing yet logical to share with. =)

As a psych-undergrad, i wonder is it alright to think, as in, super critical thinking, which may even out of your mental faculties. =D We learned about human's personality, human's mind, human's characteristic, even the biological factors, the lifespan development and a lot more. We learned about certain social life-norm theories. We care about social acceptance towards people. In short, it shall be phrased as biopsychosocial of a human being.

There are couple of times, as I wander around the crowds, I pay so much attention to human. When someone blurts the words out, I would just... rewind and replay(x2), and interpret why this person say so and so, or maybe how the surrounding/innate-personality factor affects the person to say something out to another party. Or even, I would imagine, if this sentence was for me, how would i feel? Well, i hope it is not a form of hallucination. Haha! I was just... thinking.
Especially at times, when I notice the ways that parents speak to children and vice versa. Imagine how smart the kid can be, or how tactful the parents nowadays can be. =) "I don't want to friend with u anymore because u nv let me play this." *our childhood noble words*. "I said put it back or else I will leave immediately without you!" a parent would say when a child never let go his favourite toy. Or even, public spanking or scolding. It deeply hurts the child's emotional well being.

You know, the consequence of studying Psychology is beneficial. People would always think consequence in a negative side. But hey, it can be a positive one. It broadens your way of understanding, it upgrades the level of acceptance towards people. Many used to say, this course is not popular, you know, quite useless because you cannot do anything about it. But today, I am writing here, to say, I am positive towards what i had studied and I will continue with it. Human, apart from alien, is my long-term study. ^^

sweet

Today, I suddenly recalled my Geography teacher's golden word- peka. In English, it's simply mean being sensitive of our surrounding. Yes. We have 5 senses that God sent to us and maybe we should try harder to be sensitive, especially towards people. ^^ She always used peka to catch students' attention because we were quite inattentive. =X

Then, the other day, there's this lady named Stephanie, was apparently sneezing very very silently behind me during facial time. As I lied on the bed, I rewinded back what Mrs. Wong (my favorite late English teacher) told me once. When i was in primary, I used to sneeze softly. She said to me, "What's there to hide about your sneeze? Do it out loud and it's good for your health." Sigh. I am missing her lots, still really really missing her. She's the best teacher ever, just like a mother. =) and i wonder back then, i shed how many litre of tears during her funeral service. It was too impactful to me.

What's more, I also remembered so deeply, my form teacher Ms. Tan, who sarcastically asked, "How would you be a model for the students when you didn't tighten up your tie after being installed as Head Prefect an hour ago?" Well, it's was so embarassed i have to admit but it was just wayyyyyyy too hot during that period *i am sorry*, but imagine, having an installation at 2pm? And i just thought of having a better ventilation. Hehe. =)

Last but not least, our queen of the queens: Sr. Mary Tey- our principle. With her everyday prayer, the school was ran close to perfection because i would say she's a perfectionist. She always remind her children, "I want, I can, I will. With God's help, everything is possible". I think, we will remember this phrase until the day we die. And indeed, like what Sr. Mary had said, "We girls are being treated like a bed of roses. When we're out, we will always remember what we'd learned in SMCC".

These people were all from Sek. Men. Canossian Convent. Out of the sudden, I just feel like writing these down. I am deeply thankful to them, for granting me so many chances, to develop and build a better me. =))

It's always the best time to think when you're alone, especially when you're trying to reminisce the wonderful memories, with the significant ones, who somehow, changed your perspective of life. Ok. I miss SMCC. ^^- thanks to those juniors who kept on uploading their pictures on Facebook. =="

the chatter...

Happy Belated Birthday, Yuan Chin!

It's been years since we last celebrated your birthday. =)

Was it back in Form 6 time? =D Thought so.

Had great two hours spent with u all. Enjoy the chat and laughters.

Best wishes from all of us!

the convent girls' leftovers. Haha!

kimboon was on time! =D our f6 good mate. ^^

this is too true...

A: 做好人很容易被占便宜的咧！
B: 就因为周围的人都怕被占便宜，只为自己~所以世界永远都不会和平。

Totally.
Totallllly AGREE. =/

People are just making life's hard to one another. I wonder why.
Please.

scribble randomly...

The urge of blogging seems vague lately.

What's up peeps?

My routine has been rotating mundanely.

As what i've told my parents, i want to watch TV to compensate what i've lost over the three hassle studies years. Haha! Thus, a lot of times at home, we've been watching tv together and to laugh like nobody's business. =) Frankly speaking, I think Singapore dramas had improved leaps and bounds. *Kudos to Mediacorp*

As i opened my piano today, and played a few pieces, the music made me think. @_@" Those were very soothing music, saddening somehow. Well, i can't deny i AM a very emotional creature. =) Music really can heal the soul, but music therapy just doesn't work in me. =P Music expresses our feelings. Music hears our hearts speaking. Music treats our emotions. By listening to music, people may just shed their most sincere tears. It's always endearing. It's always music-fying! Hehe!

This music video was dated back in 1998. "Let the Music Heal Your Soul". Very very nostalgic! =) Used to love it, still loving it! ^^

Ever since coming back to Msia after the trip, i had a little wish for myself. I hope, in the future, i'll be able to establish a counselling cum community service centre, with a very natural setting. I hope to put some wood, grass/flowers, some water-flowing fountain, bricks in the centre. Moreover, i wish to put on some soothing music to calm my clients down. =) It's not always about therapeutic relationship, it's about the hospitality service provided to improve the quality of service in Malaysia. Hope this will come true... ONE DAY. =)

Vision

Continue with some unfinished reading. =D

So, i realised, it's really important to have a bunch of peeps who share the same vision if we were to run something together. Back to the past, where peeps always had arguments, disagreement on things that were seemed unnecessary, all of these, serve as the experience for us to grow and come to realisation that we were so deprived of the same common goal.

It's sucha good reflection for me to ponder. If we were to be a leader, it utterly crucial for us to share the common goal, objectives and vision. =)) Apart from that, delegation is also a factor and to make sure there is enough of resources for everybody to excel. I always think that, I cannot fulfill my mission alone, or was it just me? I always love to welcome people to join the force and share the journey together. Well, maybe i am just a dependent figure. =X BUt isn't it great to have people to shout/cheer with when the things are done? =)

Moral of the day: Apart from the leadership in us, it's always important to have a team that we can trust on. Remember, we work and we share the common goal, we don't work just because we are good pals. That's how the boat sails in the big ocean. =)

Day 11- Domestic "Affairs"

Hehe! Day 11. A day for me to bid goodbye to my aunt and uncle. Aunt gotta work that day and she said byebye to me when i was still in my morning sleep. =X haha! Uncle accompanied me to airport. All in all, i am blessed to have them both who accompanied me throughtout these 11 days of Tour De Taiwan. Thank you for your accomodation, your expenditure on me, on food, on transportation and everything. Nana is thankful to both of you! =) Muaks!

Didn't really get to buy you two a thankyou present. So, i wrote this on the rocks that we picked when we went to HuaLian to see Pacific Ocean. Keep it in ur display board! =)

Going back to Msia the next day. =)

Day 9

It was a flowery day. =) Got a chance to visit Lavender Cottage薰衣草森林. It's situated at the hill place of XinShe 新社of Taichung. The journey was long. Lotsa greenery along the way. Getting more and more excited as we're approaching the place and there are many signboards as we drove. The funniest thing was when we see a signboard underneath their main board written with "别放弃，就快到了！"Don't give up! You're reaching!" Hehe! Very thoughtful of them and the service.

Pictures trail. =)

So, this is their signboard along the lamp post of the roads.

The entrance of the cottage.

These two ladies symbolized the owners and founders.

They are both friends who developed the lavender hill. I have to say, they do it great!

Super huge bear bear sitting on the bench in the "jungle".

Souvenir shop. =)

There's a pump nearby this board.
This is the aromatic air of lavender. =))

This is the model of the day. =X HAHa! Very sensual. XD

Finally, as we walked, we saw a field of lavender and i was really excited. O_O" Hehe! Never seen a living lavender which are planting on the soil. =) Purpleish field. me love!

The pathway that i took a stroll to the top of the hill.

Wishing bookmarks. =)
i didn't write it. =X

Gotta see lotsa flowers apart from lavender. =))

The tree turned yellowish as the temperature is approaching relatively low up the hill. =)

Very cute letter posts. =)

This one for my family members. =) I love you all!
Had lavender flavour ice cream with some nuts in it.

He had 2 scopes. =D

Processed aromatic bathing salt. Very fragrant!

Donno why, at that moment, when i saw this picture, i was a bit emotional. Dedicate this to all the people that i love. 我喜欢你，因为你很特别。也让我觉得我是世界上最特别的人。awwwww...

After Lavender Cottage, we headed back down the hill. Along the way, we stopped by and saw some fruit trees. =) These were grapes.

Oranges! 柳丁

Then we went to paper-themed cafe. =) All the things in this cafe was made by papers. =) very special and the ambience was great!

Paper art. =)) Lovely!

This cabinet was made all by cardboard papers.

Table with papers.

Yes, all were papers. =))

Later at night, we headed to eat spicy hot pot 麻辣火锅

Ambience! Totally romantic although it's hotpot. Hehe!

The white one was sour soup, the next to it was the spicy sauce麻辣

We could choose the degree of spiciness. Omg. We had the mildest. =X But it's more than enough for us. Haha!

Heading back to Malaysia very very soon. Missing you all back in Msia! =)
