Dear Bloggie,

Like wise, after 1 semester i shall drop by. This semester has been slightly late because I am having my industrial training. Industrial training will last for 3 months. I am currently undergoing my internship in Kerteh, Terengganu. Ya! Kerteh, Terengganu! I know, I know, people has been asking me why dont i just do it in Miri, or at least somewhere nearer in the East. Well, the reason is as simple as I understand that there are more things to learn here, so I decided to come for the exposure.

It's my first time being away from home, it's not so bad. Just some cockcroaches and big spider in my room and power failure and bad internet connection. Like.....=.= But seriously, apart from that, everything is good. They have fantastic Malay local food like keropok Lekor, Tom yam, Nasi Dagang, Nasi Minyak, Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Lemak and many many more nice local food.

The place I am staying is a very small town but with big Oil and Gas industry. The layout of O&G here is just Fantastica! Especially night view~ Some new experiences I have are like seeing wild boar at rubbish dump eating, hornbills flying around my apartment and office area, iguana crossing the road, cow near my office at night, cow dunk around the road (like dog poop but extra big), and goats walking around by the road eating grass (like dog too) and also goat died by the road side bang by car. Well, I find it quite interesting.

Not to mention, people here are nice and friendly. Im glad to meet some Catholic family who is very warm in hospitality, helping me to settle into my accommodation because it has been hard to find information in the internet as they have very limited info of this place. Some more, the flying date is only during Monday to Thursday and weekend is on Friday and Saturday. So, to access this area is a bit inconvenient. I manage to get a accommodation with a walking distance of 3 minutes to my office. Thus, not so bad.

Enough of my long essay, I think it's about time for me to photo log my pass 1 semester before anything happen to the internet again. haha

Stay tune~

Yow all,

As usual, it's end of the semester and here this little buggy girl will drop by her blog and write how she feels about the semester. hehe..

It's been about a week after finals. This semester has been really really busy. Time pass so fast when we're busy. This is semester is the fastest I ever experience. Maybe because Curtin took away 1 week of tuition free week. Frankly, I felt nothing much super excited like I use to do. Just hope everything will goes well.

So after the last paper in the morning, my course mates and I drove down to Brunei for Sushi Lunch like last semester. Then we had badminton at night; movie marathon the next day, hang out with my grandma, then it was Yeo's birthday, and catching up with my civil group friends, and today I'll be going for a meeting and a talk. It was pretty occupied so far. I'll be leaving for Kuching - Penang - KL next week. and, there goes my 1 month. haha..

There is also so much that I owe to this blog. So much that I want to do during the holiday...Will try to update more in this blog. =)

Stay tune~

Outing With Tai Che

I usually hang out with my Tai Che, who is also my godmother. Why is it Tai Che then godmother? Long story. haha.. She is a special and beautiful woman who always share with me and reminds me of my faith. =)

We went for ABC in Miri old town area..

Then we went shopping around and we met up with mom at Siamese Secret for dinner.

It was a good hang out time. Tai Che with her pizza. =)

Kuching Trip January 2011

In January this year, I went to Kuching for a few days trip during my holiday. Was there to accompany grandma down to Kuching and to attend my cousin's wedding.

The day dad and grandma arrive, we went for Heng Hua Mee. slurp~

Cousin's tea ceremony at Hilton. Grandma's foster grandson. Dad and I was staying at Majestic Hotel, so it was very near. Short distance. The wedding was beautiful. They night before wedding, we had a welcoming dinner at Sarawak Club for relatives and friends that flew in for the dinner. During the actual dinner, the theme, the setting, the coordination was simply beautiful. I would describe it as a quality dinner where he get's his people well engaged. =)

It also falls on my another "ah sou" birthday. A surprise birthday cake for her during lunch in the hotel.

After tea ceremony, Choo Choo (my closest cousin) and I went for lunch catch up with Ah Ying and Ling, (cousins). Choo Choo's ah boy at join us. We had vegetarian that day. I like the fry mushroom. It was yummy~ =D Then we went to pet shop to get Wen Xian's golden retriever some shampoo and head home.

In the evening, cousin and I brought grandma out to buy shoes. Then we were talking about Leong San. Leong San is a big house during the older days where my grandma's family, uncles auntys, great grandparents stayed. My dad stayed there before too during his younger days. I was so interested and kept asking bout stories and lifestyle during my grandma's years. Then grandma suddenly said, "let's go!" Vwow~~ I was a bit worried cause the house is in one of my uncle's house. I was worried that may disturb them. To keep it short, grandma was quite persistent to bring me there and share with me. *secretly, I was very very excited and I got my camera prepared 24/7* haha..

The house is very run down now. and the main door was locked. Eventhough we could only stand outside and watch, I was contented. Grandma pointed to me which room she use to stay. The activities they had in the big house. Who use to stay there. I enjoy talking to grandma. Like a little girl, curious of who is who, what they wear during those days, what entertainment do they do, what do they study in school, what dessert they eat, how did she met grandpa, unending questions.. haha.. Then she will tell me things like kids those days play "guli"(marbles), catch fish in the drain, walk to school, have 5 cents kolomee, they sew their own clothes, they wear "cha giak", they have people who come to the house selling "kok kok teng"which is a kind of candy, have ah pek ding dong etc etc. I bet kids nowadays don't know what is Ah Pek ding dong.. haha... ask you parents, maybe they know. haha..Dad use to say, my great grandma like to do "joget". which is a kind of Malay dance. And grandma picked up some Nyonya cooking which is usually spicey and pick up some Malay words after marrying to my grandfather. Well, I have some Nyonya blood though. And Nyonya food are good! =D tehehe... The stories goes on and on and.... Well, I'm proud to have Nyonya blood!
