Malacca Trip

Yeah, just back from the trip this evening from Malacca, a wonderful place and a place of UNESCO ( Unique, Nicety, Eternity, Cool, Open-eyed) . This was a sudden decision from miss Sharon on Saturday .
And we girls, Sharon, Ling Ching, Yi Wei and I went together by bus this morning after having our breakfast at Yun Lai Dim Sum     *yummy yummy*

We met Celine in the bus who was going to Muar to meet her boy 

Chit-chatting non stop in the bus and we took photos in the bus too. 

Reached Muar around 10.00 a.m. something, we took domestic bus to the famous Red House . After that, we were snapping photos around as it was really a beautiful heritage place :) Okay, I can't denied that four of us love to snap photos :p    giggling

But of course, how can we just took photos of the building ? See we left our footprints, oops or I should say group photos here, tadaaa~

the paintings on the wall really nice man!! Thumbs up!!


And we went to our prior destination which was recommended by many bloggers and successfully got a rank of no.4 among 190 restaurants in Malacca, guess what is it ?Click here for more information :)
The Calanthe Art Cafe located at Jonker Street, so you can walk along Jonker Street and you'll find it, it's not difficult to locate the place :) . We were stunned by the creative design and pleasant ambience of the cafe . When we stepped in there, all the designs and murals attracted our attention . The cafe was set to be very retro and exoticism by displaying all the stuffs used in the 1950s .

I'm agree with it cause I'm a coffee-lover 

See! The wall decorated by the shell of "don't know what species" of crab




Super love this picture! The sun light shining through the leaves 



You know that kind of feeling when you saw something really damn nice and you really wanted to capture it by using camera to stay in your mind as part of your memory, well this Calanthe Art Cafe sure does !! We were busy taking photos here and there, and I must mention, the waiters there are really nice . They will come and help you to take photos automatically even though you didn't ask for help :)  And for the menu, there's a wide variety of choices for you, either foods or drinks . I was dazzled by the choices, really, everything looked nice and yummy to me, hahaha! Okay, I admit, I'm a greedy girl :p . Ling Ching ordered home-made laksa which was really delicious, and I recommend this dish . Oh yes. the salad was excellent too compared to the salad sold in Batu Pahat, it was really fresh and crunchy !! Mouth-watering !

Yi Wei - Golden Rice

Sharon - Chicken Chop

As we walked along the street, we saw a stall, stood by and we bought the hanging ornament that made on the spot . You can choose your chinese name, date of birth, and the pattern of the ornament or even the small doll, then the boss will help you to combine them in one ornament . And things I need to mention are
 You can call to them if you want to order more ornaments and they will email to you with pictures and types of ornaments . 
You can come to their stall if your bell or ornaments spoil, the boss will help you to repair with free of charge!
 Some people's Chinese name have complicated word or seldom-used Chinese characters, but no worries because at here you can find a lot of Chinese characters that we seldom used in our name . The boss told us that many people change their Chinese name characters after they seek opinion from Feng Shui shifu, and usually the characters are hard to find, but customers are able to find their name here . So you can see how wide variety of Chinese characters they have . 
Can't believe that we actually stood at the stall for almost one hour by picking the stuffs, hahaha! 
Bio-group members' ornaments
After that, we went to Jusco . They bought sushi and we went to FOS outlet . Ling Ching bought two t-shirts, Sharon bought one shirt and a outdoor bag and Yi Wei bought a school bag . Harvest!!! Then we went back to Batu Pahat at 3.00 p.m. . That's all for today, ciao!

人生的岔路

这一天,总算来临
兜兜转转,还是走到了我人生的另一个岔路。

两年前,懵懵懂懂,左挑右选竟挑不到自己中意的课程;听了家人的建议,就读中六吧,至少还有两年可以给我好好想想。是啊,两年,就让自己好好想想吧;两年,自己应该有个谱了吧。

中六的两年过的很快乐,庆幸自己遇到一群好姐妹,好哥们。大家互相照顾,相互扶持,一路走来,他们在我心里何其重要,分量何其多。就怕到大学再也遇不到像他们那么好的人了。

两年了,毕业了,该选科系了,我似乎还不清楚自己要什么
坑爹啊·~ 后来选了TESL(就类似出来教英文的), dietetic, human resource management 和food technology(说实话,这些还不是我很想读的 =p)

直到前几天,宁静给了我一间大学的网址,点击游览,发现自己对法律很有兴趣。当下我的脑袋瓜儿似乎给人敲了一下 =p,想通了自己想要读的科系。。原本就对法律有些兴趣,只因还不够资格进入政府大学,也就打消了念头。不过这次有强烈的信念,第一次想真的了解法律科系;第一次很主动的翻阅升学杂志,就为了想了解更多更多。那一夜辗转难眠,脑海里一直在思考我究竟该不该报读这科,因为是June intake, 心里很纠结,毕竟政府大学还未公布科系名单,会不会太仓促?满脑子的问号在经过和家人的讨论后,我终于决定豁出去了!对,既然决定了就别再犹豫不决(犹豫不决是我的缺点啊~)

朋友们一个个知道我要去读书了都吓了一跳
“真的吗?” “决定好了吗?有想清楚吗?” “怎么那么快,都没听你提起过啊?” “不等政府大学啊?” 
哈哈,也难怪,太突然,一切都来得太突然。

昨天就和爸妈一起上马六甲去参观大学,其实也不算参观啦,就去交表格顺便去那兒看看。昨天是MMU (Multimedia University)的 Info-day,所以人潮沒有之前open-day的多,不过还是可以看到很多父母还有年龄和我相仿的学生来参观学校。交了表格后,负责人说得一个小时后才可以知道是否被入取,所以不浪费时间,我和爸爸妈妈就到大学附近吃早餐 :) 哦,我得提一提,原来off-campus apartment和大学只隔着一条小马路,超级靠近的,难怪官网上说明只有五分钟路程。
这是其中一栋off-campus apartment - Emerald
漂亮吧?XD

过后呢,就回到大学内的行政部,我被通知我已被录取了,哈哈哈哈,好开心好开心,代表我大学的生活将从这里开始了。当然啦,爸爸妈妈也替我感到高兴。真的很谢谢我最爱的爸爸妈妈,给了我很多的建议,还特地载我上马六甲,大爱他们!

我许久未见的朋友来找我啦,celine还是和以前一样,很开朗,很鬼马,很搞笑XD 。 还好时间并没有冲淡我们的友情,那晚聊了很多,她给了我很多宝贵的建议,还很贴心的帮我画出我应该准备的东西,超贴心的啦你

先这样,还有美好的星期天之马六甲一日游等着我,再会!
