24/2/2010

It was gloomy out there as i went out from my home. " Gosh! I need to work again... what a day," I told myself. The engine rumble as I started the car. Then, switch on the spotlight and drove away, far & far from my home. As usual, sometime it will be traffic jam ahead since it already 7.15 am in the morning. Many people are our either for work or sending their children to school. Seeing school children make me think back of those day. Those was the day as I went to school by bus and meet different student from other school. If only I could turn back time, I will like to stay being a child. Driving on the road alone aren't what I want but I am all by myself right now. I choose not to decide and thus, I need to go on until I finish my internship.

While driving after a junction, I saw a motorcyclist with its clutch downward. In my mind i was thinking, what will happen if he make a corner? Luckily, a good heart motorcyclist told him as they stop on a traffic light. At least there still good people out there. I saw them chatting away with each other after he put up the motor's clutch. Then I move on. As I drove on the bridge, I saw rainbow on the sky & it had stop raining. In my mind, I was asking myself, " Is this is a lucky day?" That will I know soon.

As I reached the office, I start to do my work. Erm... usual basis. Life there feel a bit bored than I think. Maybe I like to learn new thing & different. Time pass by & soon its lunch time. As usual if I go for lunch you will see me with the same group of people. We chatter away. It is lucky or what, an uncle I used to call (silently) treat us to 'keropok ikan' one pack per person. Thank to him.


around 3pm, I receive a call. Hello, are you... Yes, I am. It was my lecturer who will be coming to visit me soon. It is a good news or what? Now, it bother me. Erm..decision need to be make. Sooner or later he also will have to come. So, why not? Soon, it was 6.35pm. I need to go back as I eill not be pay OT if I OT.. haha...

Tracking back

It been long since I abandon this ship... as I seldom online
However, recently I am tracking back to what I have previously~
It may not be great.. but maybe I am just finding a place
A place that could be mine & only mine..
Since few years ago...
I went through lots of thing..
I may miss it...
but i need to learn to let go...
Let go of the past...
It seem a bit hard but ..as day pass I seem to forget it...
bit by bit...
only pictures that remind me...
I start to feel confuse of it...
Sometimes thing seem so true...or it just that i am dreaming...
weird..
& I dont know how exactly...that I should do...

On 3/7/09

This is a day that i wont forget. My brother & sister back to malacca but im going back to uni.
Anyway, at least i spent time with them even just a few hours. Sometimes, i wonder when we had grown up will we be together just like before? Even my friends who went for internships, will we meet again?

I remember this day as i had to wait for the bus to come at the Malacca Sentral. By right, the bus should arrived at 9.30pm. The time shows 10.30pm & i still didnt see the bus. My mum & dad become worry & find out that the bus spoilt. The bus was repair. When it arrived, we think that we could start our journey to uni. However, before the bus even went out from Malacca, the driver said that there was some problem with it & decided to back to Sentral.

When we back to sentral, i called my dad to inform him. My dad, mum & sis came back to Sentral. We chat a while & they seem worry. My dad told that it will take time to repair & decide to wait until the bus okay. Finally, the bus was repaired.

On the journey, lot of thing in my mind. I will be staying with my coursemate. I also wonder when, what or where we will do this sem. When i reached Uni, it is 10am. Tired & lack of sleep because of the bus air condition making me feel very cool. As always when i back here i will need to carry my stuff to new room. Gosh! I am sem 7!!!

My LIfe

Well, just stop by to jot some point of my view. I have not blogging ever since... i don't know when. Anyway, i am going on with my life that seem normal. Well, i mean normal cause i am still the same back Malacca after final exam. However, everything around me will be changing bit by bit soon. I can feel it. When time pass and you are too free, like i am now, staying at home but will work for three day part time job soon, u might as well think a lot of stuff. What will be in the future? Things won't last till the end and we will grow up, old and go on with the cycle of life. Sometimes, i do remember the past that i left behind, wondering do i do anything wrong? I don't really know. As i am free now, i will as well relax and have a nice day..Haha.. Just thinking and imagine.

Anyway, i am waiting for my exam results. I hope ever thing will be alright. I seldom online lately. Maybe this will go on till i finish up and go on for practicum ( left a yr). Well, when i back uni, i will like to go out for a trip to Langkawi. As i had in my mind since last sem. Life back in Uni and in home isn't the same. Which one i will prefer? I am not sure. However, since i am still in Uni then, i should enjoy my life. The life of working will be tougher and i wonder which company i will be entering in future. Hope it will be a beautiful life... :D

Hatyai

30 July

We gather at Changlun to wait for the vans to come. We depart in the morning and reach there by morning, 10a.m. I don’t really remember what time we reach as I am a bit confused at first when we went there. Moreover, we can’t phone to Malaysia as it will cost us Rm2per sms and Rm3per call (for the Maxis user). We then check in the hotel before we went out. As it is our first time at Hatyai, we walk to the place using the map that was given by the group leader. The first mission that I know is to have lunch before we do other thing. Guess what, we had dim sum for breakfast. We ate together. For dim sum, it cost us about 30 bucks per person, which include Chinese tea and chrysanthemum.

Dim sum...


After the breakfast we went back to hotel. The next thing we do is went out and walk to the place that was called shopping center. We went to the entire shopping complex around the place near by our hotel. One thing that we saw is Mc Donald. How could I miss trying the burger pork! We had our lunch there. It cost us 103 buck per set. There is no medium small or large size compare to our Mc D and it had included taxes (my friend told me). The rest, at night we have fun.

31 July

We wake up early. As we need to go to Songkhla. Before that, we had our breakfast. We depart and the tour guide took us around to a nearby beach. The scenery was nice as always when we go to a beach. I love the feeling when I step on the sand. It feels smooth. I feel like building a sand castle there but we are rushing and just able to take pictures. The weather was hot and I bought a coconut sea drink (if I did not hear wrongly what the hawker said). It is not like a usual coconut. Then we cross to songkhla by ferry. We have to wait for few minutes in the van before the ferry will move. When we reach there, we went to have our lunch. The tom yam there tastes better than before and we also have otak-otak kelapa.

Then we move to a place called Tang Kuan Hill. Before we went to the hill, we could see many monkeys around. We were thinking whether the monkey behave well than the monkey at our university. We went to the hill by lift. First time experience of going up hill by lift that is air-conditioned. As we reach the hill we need to climb up. There we saw the Prathat Chedi Luang, the royal pagoda at the top of the Tang Kuan Hill, which is the symbol of songkhla city. It was stated at the lift ticket that it is an ancient Davaravati art constructed in Nakorn Si Thammarat period surrounded by a cloister. Since 1886, it was restored under the command of King Rama IV and in 1996; King Rama IX gave the Lord Buddha relic for filling the pagoda. We then found a road, path going down to a building that look like ‘red house’ in Malacca since the building we found look a like. There still path going down but we choose not to go further down as the stair is unbalance and can easily slip down if not careful.

Red house?

We then proceed to go down the hill used the lift. When we were going to enter the van, a funny incident happen. I saw many birds crowding around the seed and suddenly the monkey nearby went to snatch banana from one of the seller. Then the monkey run away with it threat and causing a stir as the crowd of birds flying away when the monkey running away. That the picture I took without notice.

The next thing when arrive at hotel, we went out to the night market where we can find lots of stall selling thing such as food, clothes and shoes. If you want to buy sport shoe then you may come here as the are variety of them. You will have hard time to choose! Anyway, the price is cheaper than in Malaysia for sure. I went to find shirt to wear for next day. Here you can bargain to the lowest price for Rm10. However, not all of the clothes will fit as they seem small. But I manage to find the clothes I like. Mean while, my friends found a stall that sell nice and lovely food. Guess what. The other way round actually. If you want to try to eat fried grasshopper, worm and bugs, you also can find it in the night market. I took the picture from my friend to display it here as a prove. I think it is okay.

The next thing we finish shopping, we proceed to a 7 eleven. Why do we go there? Well of course because we find out of something different from here. Inside 7 eleven, I found out that we can actually make own burger and eat the frozen food as there is an oven. As compare here with there, the 7 eleven had a variety of drinks. You can choose whatever flavor you want and the cute thing we saw is a small bottle of coke.

cute? very small

It is time for us to go back to our place. We need to go through the custom and get our beg check. Of course nothing there that is illegal. We are good people. Haha… Erm. I remember 31 July is my brother birthday but I am unable to phone him. So I phone him as I reach here.

Thailand

This just introduction of getting to know the place.

A place that is quite near to the border of Malaysia, called Hatyai. It is under Thailand country. When you wants to go to a place, do you ever think of what kind of life the citizen of Hatyai? I never know till I saw it by my own eyes. Different culture as I may say. Before I went there, I had heard from my friends who had gone there. It is a holy place for the shoppers. You will not know till you bid the price. We do boarder pass before we go to Hatyai and change our money to buck. 200 buck means Rm 20, ten times smaller from our Malaysia ringgit. The next thing I know is that their time is different than ours that is late by one hour. Meaning if your watch is 1p.m then their time will be 12 noon. What will you expect? I had given the hints and I will write on the place I went.

Tesco (Noodles Station)

Maybe for you it is just a shopping place. However, this shopping place I mean is at Alor Setar. I went there with my friends. It is new as I can see. Just guessing. Comparing the Tesco in my hometown, Malacca and the place I went, it is different. In the Tesco, we saw many different shops. If we want to compare, there are lots of franchise outlets in Tesco, Alor Setar than at my hometown. For example, Big Apple... Our aim is to buy goods for the coming month in UUM. So, before we shop, we went for a lunch. We dine in a place called Noodles Station. Erm, from the name you can imagine what kind of foods it sell. But, sometimes a place had its own unique. It is my first time to try out the foods there. We order foods and drink. Guess what I think unique. It is the drinks. Imagine that you order a drink in a big jar. I can’t remember the name of the drinks. But I can say that if you order a drink at there, you can share with your friends. It had different taste, depends on what you want. The noodles are different than the usual noodle we used to cook. I may say nicer.

After the lunch, we rush to the Tesco market. As you can see there lots of stuff being bought by us, five of us. These stuffs were for our usage in UUM. So, although girls like to shop, we also shop because we need the stuff for monthly use. Plus, some of the things in Tesco are cheaper. One different thing I found out is that, there is a department in the Tesco market where you could buy all kinds of pork at Alor Setar Tesco. So, each place had its own style.
