  • Met up with Cheeling on 23rd Jan to celebrate her 20th b'day! Dinner @ Kenny Roger's and watched the movie 大日子 Woohoo! (local production I think; actors including MY fm deejays etc; not bad! really funny at times)
  •  Got my A2 results just yesterday; 4A's! Glad but don't know what to do with it; only left with the choice of waiting for offer letters (if any) T.T

Jitters.

I. AM. SO. FREAKING. SCARED. RIGHT. NOW.

A2 results out tomorrow at 10am!

More updates soon, no mood at the moment. Reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Regretted watching the on screen adaptation first 'cause the actors' faces are now imprinted in my brain cells

Reading is my one and only escape.

PPS Marathon

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince album coverImage via Wikipedia
Been watching a great deal of movies on PPS lately!

1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It was okay, but the visual effects were really impressive compared to its previous sequels. Ron is his usual comical self though Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe) acting is still a little stiff o.O


2. Star Trek

Chris Pine is oh-so-charismatic! Plus I've always loved Zachary Quinto from the Heroes series. He plays Spock in the movie. It received really really good reviews but then again I'm not really a sci-fi person



3. The Lovely Bones (adapted from the novel by Alice Sebold)




LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 24: (EMBARGO...Image by Getty Images via Daylife
I liked this movie! Apparently fans of the novel were let down, though it was directed by none other than the famed Peter Jackson. Fell in love with Saoirse Ronan (you might've seen her from Atonement). There's this intelligent, ethereal glow about her. Definitely an up-and-coming actress!


4. Up In the Air
A pretty heavy movie for me, since it's about the recession problem in the US. But it also deals with relationship problems, how people nowadays prefer "casual" relationships and not willing to settle down that much. A really realistic approach to the topic and honestly the 1st time I've seen a George Clooney movie!

Okay more updates soon :)

In a muddle

Whoa my previous post was actually fully in Mandarin! Since the whole study tour is catered mainly for chinese-eds, plus the post might easily be spotted if people do a Google search for the tour^^

Days have become so so much shorter ever since work began. And I haven't finished writing my personal 21-day trip diary for future reference, and write my Uni of HK personal statement (omg another headache) and finish watching The Little Nyonya on PPS. And start reading novels again. And and and the neverending wait for UK unis to gimme a reply.

A2 results out on 25th Jan! Which is next monday... *shivers*

Another Adam Lambert video! At least not as sleazy as the For Your Entertainment video. Gosh, if only he were straight...

2009 马来西亚华裔青年台湾观摩团





我们今年的参加人数有三百余人,总共分成9支队伍,称为第一至第九车。旅程长达
21天,需缴行程费用RM 2300 + 7000台币(大约等于RM 700),费用已包涵宿食,飞
机票等等当地入门票。。。所以我觉得是超值得的!

第一天大家会先在KL集合,并住在KL一晚 (我们今年住Ancasa Hotel, 靠近puduraya的
) 我是第一车的,我们队里有35人,包括组队长。不过在台湾,大多数都住青年活
动中心,都是超舒服,超美的,又不必争厕所,爽死了!! haha





在台北的"家"--剑潭青年活动中心,6人一房,我们的房是有double decker,4个在
下面,两个在上面。。。有些人的是6 张床排一排。厕所是一间,不过里面有分隔
开的,好像公厕。。。有2间冲凉,2间大小号的,外面有两个给梳洗的洗脸盆和镜
子。。。是真的又美,又新,又干净!

我们的行程是环岛的,只是没去台中,所以都把台湾好玩的几乎都玩完了^^中间我们
有两天的自由日,大家都跑去shopping了。。。我们的中心走路就可以到捷运站
(剑潭站),而且也很靠近士林夜市,所以自由日那两天大家都逛到疯了 XD

观摩团好玩之处:
1. 以超值价格走完台湾!我最喜爱的几个景点/活动~


(台北)诚品。在台北101附近的书店,有点像kinokuniya,不过它有整四五层楼高,卖的不
只是书本,也有非常别致的纪念品之类的。。。超重的书香气息!!



(台北)忠烈祠的卫兵交接。。。我们看了三次的卫兵交接,只是觉得是个Taiwan must-see



(台北)淡水渔人码头的情人桥。其实是很美的,可是那晚刮大风又下雨,冷到半死,我们很
快又冲回巴士了 T。T



 (花连)太鲁阁国家公园。我的最爱!!我真的没看过那么绿的河水,好想念哦。。。



花东海岸三仙台。



知本温泉。这是男女公用的,若不好意思的话可以在房间开bathtub的水自己泡。。。
不过当然一起泡的感觉比较爽啦

 
垦丁国家公园。我们在那里拍了好多写真集哦! 哈哈可能因为有风有树有草吧 ^^



也是垦丁国家公园里拍的




在冬至那晚我们300多个人一起搓汤圆的体验!



九族文化村。它是介绍台湾原住民的文化区 + 游乐园! 可惜时间不够,图画里是很
多人去的roller coaster,双脚是悬空的,有点像云顶的flying coaster,不过我
不敢坐 o.O

2.  吃不完的美食
几乎每个景点附近一定会卖香肠和雪糕,不知道为什么! 不过最多美食的当然是士林
夜市啦 :)


 非常非常大块的鸡排,也非常非常好吃!那天晚上我们7-8个人一起吃了16样食物,一
个人平均付了少过RM20!


我反而不大喜欢这个。它外面是好像糯米,里面才是香肠。。。有点奇怪,可是是must
try的啦 ^^



青蛙下蛋。正常的好喝



水果!! 真的很好吃,尤其是释迦 ^^



绿茶红豆雪花。也是很好吃!


 我觉得还好,不过很多人都说很好吃

 
他们说肉的比较好吃。。。


阿宗面线。



葱抓饼。很像roti canai

3. 可以狂购物!
shopping的地方我觉得最好逛的是西门丁和士林夜市。。。五分埔的店其实很多大同
小异,然后没机会去台北地下车站。。。他们说那边也很好逛。只是说我们年尾去
是冬季,所以衣服大多数以长袖,leggings,外套为主,很难找到洋装,不过boots可
以买到RM40左右的,可以穿上云顶呀 ^^

很多人狂扫mask (我的美丽日记 & sexylook)--去COSMED康是美买。化妆品也可以在那里买。。我的朋友买了6只BB Cream 叻。还有NIKE鞋。。
好后悔没买哦,因为选择真的比马来西亚多,而且价钱比较便宜(士林的NIKE店好像
比西门丁的大一点)

4. 体验难得的团队生活
好想念。。


剑潭的室友们


每餐都分享食物的桌友们



我们"真善美"的第一车



我们的辅导员油滋仔



丫敏仔



小帅名

我们在离开前真的哭到不像人样,因为真的不舍得台湾,更不舍得离开彼此。。。所
以这真的是个很不错的经验! 想要知道更多可以在这里post comment 的 ^^

I'm such a slacker.

Seriously. I wish I could compartmentalize all my thoughts, feelings into different sections, because I really don't know where to start.
  • Taiwan was fun fun fun! Shopping was great, (maybe my next post will be a proper recommendation of places to go in taiwan) the friends I've made were awesome and so enthusiastic! Plus the food, OMG. If I didn't practice self control I'd be so obese by now T.T
  • I've not been reading books lately, I feel so empty and hopeless. What is my problem?
  • Worked as a kindergarten helper for a week now. The work's not bad, but taking care of kids can sometimes be pretty physically taxing as well, since you still have to keep an eye on them 24/7. But then again they can surprise you with their cuteness! ^^
  • Just came back from edu fair in KLCC. Now considering unis that have never crossed my mind! Haha time for more research =)
There are two things I dearly miss right now, which is 1) Taiwan 2) College. I wish I could do it over and over and over again. No wonder kids like merry go rounds ^^

Off to look for movies on PPS! Hopefully it'll get my mind off all unimportant worldly matters o.O

Stuck.

It's like I've crawled into a narrow, dark cave, and decided to stay there. Like forever. Simply listening to the sound of water trickling above my head, the dampness of the cold air. And feeling utterly content just where I am.

Okay I got a little weirder after my Taiwan trip right? Must be due to the fact that I didn't get a Nike shoe! T.T Initially wasn't planning to get one but after spotting uber cool Nike gear from my other teammates I got super emo wei. T.T again.

In case you haven't seen the Taiwan pics on Facebook, here's the link:
--> Taiwan KMT 2009 (Part 1) 
--> Taiwan KMT 2009 (Part 2)

Anyway want to say that this trip was TOTALLY worth it! (Tho I didn't get my Nike shoe.Sobs) Not just shopping wise, not just the scenery & fun stuff to do etc, but also the feeling of togetherness, esp with my group (Car 1) and also with my roomies (which sometimes consisted of people from Car 2 & Car 3). The longer & more teary-eyed post will come next I guess, not really in the mood today :)

FYI: There were a total of 9 cars/groups. My group had 35 members, including the Team Leader & Asst Team Leaders.

Going to start work as a kindergarten helper starting tomorrow! *shivers* &&& I figured that facebook really does its job of connecting people! Serious. I shall tell my facebook experience on this blog. One day la when I'm free & super inspired.

Off to eat cup noodles bought back from Taiwan! Ciaoz ^^
