Doggy bite

Unlike other people whose love for dogs developed since childhood, mine only started when I was Form 5. I love any dogs, especially Oreo, Milo & Milo's puppies, but I also had compassion on the stray ones. One day as I was walking up the stairs, a shabby stray dog sat pitifully in front of me. Stupidly, I tried to pat it's head. Without warning, it just attacked my hand. As a result, I had to see the doc for the tetanus jab. The scar is still evident on my right hand. This time round, I still haven't learnt the lesson but instead of a dog, this painful bite is from a human.

Trip to Kuantan

It's my first time 1) visiting Kuantan 2) catching bus outstation alone 3) seeing a river so wide - how ulu of me. Nope. It's cos I'm too urbanised.

I was already late. Puduraya was jam-packed with eager people rushing bacj to their hometowns. I approached one of the ticket counter. "Sudah habis" was the reply I got from the cold cashier as if this was the the 1000th time she uttered the words. A million thoughts run through my mind as I franctically searched for the others. My heart pounded as I approached the last counter. " What if I can't board the bus counter today?" The abang said, "Masih ada." My heart was heaved with relief.

It was almost 6pm when I reached Xin Hui's house. Then, for the next 2 days, beaches were our main destination. During the nights, we went to Teluk Chempedak for sightseeing & feeling the breeze brushing against my skin. To my surprise, a lot of families flocked the walkway. It's definitely a better creation than walking along BB Park. Couple held hands along the sandy beaches & cuddled in each others' arms. On the second night, despite the strong winds, we managed to light up the Japanese lantern. That's a lot of satisfaction in that!

During the day, we woke up early to have daily devotion at the beach - again at Teluk Chempedak Mornings are usually quiet with the sound of waves unfolding themselves. I never saw sunrise that day but I marveled at God's creation. It was certainly refreshing. By the time we reached Pantai Balok, it was almost 10am. The sun was already at her best shining every particle of light she could possibly emit. We played at the sea for a while, still conscious of the presence of the sun. Then, for the rest of the day, we ate so much! 1pm was our lunch & 3pm was our tea break. Probably due to that, we felt so sleepy that we slept for 2 hours after going to the salon.

On the last day, it was light & easy. My journey back to KL reminded me of Paul's Damascus Road Conversion with extra luggage consisting of ikan masin & cassava strips - that's what Kuantan is famous for! I thank God for the gift of reading in the bus. Once in a while, when the journeys got rough, I felt dizzy but for the rest of it, my eyes were glued to Harvest Times.

Hols

For the past 4 months of holidays, it was as though I disappeared from the face of the earth. I didn't forget my beloved blog but as usual, my excuse is that I have been to busy. The holidays were very precious to me because it's probably the longest hols I could possibly have before I step foot into the working world. Here's a summary of what I did:

Main agenda - working for Aunt Ngat Chin's phD research

June - Firstly, I went to a conference in Singapore called the Extraordinary Emerge. I went there with my church members & it was simply awesome! When we were shopping at the Suntec City, we bumped into the lead singer of GMB, Sidney Mohede & Ps Yusa. Took photo with them.

The later part of June was spent visitting Beijing with my family. Beijing is a very interesting place to be cause it's a whole different place altogether. It seemed as though every corner of Beijing was flocked by people. We went to Great Wall, Forbidden City, Ming Tomb & not to forget, countless factories so that we could get some pearls, jade, crystals, tea leaves & the replica of the Chinese legendary animal "pi xiu". It was said that this "pi xiu" didn't have any anus which means that it contains all the wealth you can gather. The memory of that trip is fading soon. Haha my first family trip ever.

Besides that, I truly cherish the time I spent with my cell members. They are really a bunch of happy people. I have really gotten to know many of them much better. Ppl like Cheok Miin, Nickey & Jeffrey. They are not just my cell members, but they are really my friends. Some of them went back to their respective unis; separated over 300 kms & across the ocean. I miss them whenever I think of them. The truth is I may seem like a Mecha, but I'm really an Orga.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory



After 8 long weeks of studies, labs, finally the mid - sem holidays are here. It was supposed to be last week that we have hols, but the government postponed it to make way for Merdeka celebration. It's ok with me as long as I have the hols. Yesterday noon Xin Hui & I officiated our hols by watching "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory". It's about this poor kid who eventually made it to be the heir of the Wonka factory. The flashbacks on Willy Wonka's childhood & Charlie's quest of winning the gold ticket touched me most. We had so much fun window shopping cos personally, it's been a long time since I last watched a movie. We were so caught up with shopping that we went back at 7pm. I bought lingerie & she bought hair color. Haha what a fruitful day. Not forgetting, we met up with Valentine. He came down to KL for a business trip. Happy that he took the effort to meet up with me all the way from Sabah.
