Cameron Highlands

After plans called on and off, I finally made it to Cameron Highlands for a vacation. It's a long time since I was here, the last time being when I was 2 (the unforgetable scar on my forehead~).

The gang
Henry, Dick, HH, Jek, TS, Emily, Suhweai and I.
Having no gurl company with me, I was quite anxious in meeting the two gurls whom I do not know. But needless of the worry, they were nice people to get along with.

Thanks to Dick sponsoring his family apartment at Tanah Rata. =)

Having no transport around the area, we had to take the cab... which is rather welcoming, coz we had Mercedez!


And a large sacrifice for it.

=D

Let’s not talk about the traffic jam and the smoke from the diesel fuel that blacked the faces of those in the Wira behind…haha~ (Somehow, Cameron taxis have a habit of not using the A/C in the cars).

Whereabouts
The second day we had a tour to some farms at the highlands... which wasn't really the theme of the vacation.. eheh~


Cameron was a place full of plantations, can be said close to nature. But honestly, I prefer Sukau to this, for Sukau was closer to the nature and wildlife.


This reminds me of my garden a year ago which was filled with lots of lavenders. They are just so nice.


The mouth-watering capsicum!


Other than that, six of us even went for a jog on the second morning.

The cool weather was just nice :)


Eat, eat and eat..
A nice Cameron style steamboat with lots of vegetables...


Right after that the night market.
The gang was so excited about the BBQ party the next day that they couldn't resist buying so much stuff for it. Of course, the trip was stomach-filling, the food was great! I do miss the chocolate-coated strawberry! :P



The supper continued back at the apartment.


The strawberry ice-stick feast!


And the theme... the BBQ Party!
Our instructors, Emily and Henry!





Breakfast Chef, Henry!
We had fried mee-hun and sandwich! Honestly I never knew Henry could cook.. well!**Salutes to Henry!!**



Overall, the trip was fun. Except that I didn't expect it to be higher budget (yikes~ so paiseh~), the need of transport around the highlands, and the peak season traffic jam, it should be a good-enough vacation.
Hope for the next one with these buddies.

Mixed

After the many years, I still find my passion in the art of architecture. And often do I feel the pity for not walking that path.
Sometimes, there are things that we can’t help with. Sometimes we tend to make a good choice, but it does not necessary be the right choice for us. Sometimes, and often, we have to forfeit one for the other, and we would be blamed for not going for the latter.

Being an indecisive person, I often take a long time to boil over my considerations and choice over and over again. I don’t know why, but there’s just so much I have to go through before making my decision. It’s probably because of the environment that shapes my mind in this way. I am confused, I am bored, I am tired of the way I am. But probably it’s what that makes me today, whether it’s the OK me or KO me. I try to make myself more efficient, I do try. I try to fit myself into the different environments, which doesn’t always work.

I try to understand myself, but I find it getting me more confusing.
So don’t you think that you understand me.

Well said that, the happiest person doesn’t necessary have the best of everything. He just makes the best of everything.
That’s the guide I should live by.

End | Beginning

Year 2 is officially over after the felt-like-being-fooled final exam paper on Tuesday, and the very very short semester ending with the Numerical Analysis paper yesterday, which I thought was the best paper I did in this year (frankly because I did badly in others). I am rather disappointed why we did not get to evaluate the lecturers, one for the good work and the other for the misery she put in us. I just hope it won't happen again. And not to forget, the fall from the staircase.. hah~

The celebration continued with a karaoke marathon (and the first time I feel tired before the session ended :P ）with all the boys! And they ROCK!! Haha... And I do need to improve my singing.. =D

The end of the semester and the beginning of the holiday! Yay! But holiday this year had better be more wisely spent than last year's... I doubt the dream to work at KMT will not be true anymore, disappointingly. Still, lots of work and wanna-dos and re-revisions and decisions to be done. I wonder if I can ever finish half...

For now, anticipating much about the trip to Cameron! Though I'm anxious about how it would turn out to be... don't wanna bring the alien me up there~ But ooo... it's been a long time since my last vacation!! Haha...

tumble

What I have often expected to happen, when there were a few times it nearly happened, and this time it finally happened.

The worst thing is having the hundreds of eyes on me in the situation. I'd really like to ask them how the scene was like...
The instant right after the startling moment, I thought it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I was proven wrong minutes and hours later, discovering the pain and the patches...

Bad luck, I'd say. After all the shuttle waitings and this. A lesson for not sleeping enough. And perhaps another reason...?

Good luck everyone, in the exam and all~

Awards Day

A late post indeed... forgive me :)

Awards Day was on last Thursday, and the previous years I thought I wouldn't have the chance to attend. But a pleasant surprise, definitely, never dare to expect it. I'm just to happy for it... and my beloved dad & mom, thanks for being there ;)

The event was dragged long by the 'congratulatory + statistics + quality + many other subjects' speech. But it got more fun before it ended... the party was at the back of the hall where we snapped the camera away~ haha..





Too bad the Thief flew away for the mid-term... ;P

Happy Raya!

Raya this year is expected to be less of open-houses to attend *boooo~~* but was good enough to be meeting up with the very-long-time-no-see friends. This time at a different location which is definitely a better choice =)
Lady luck wasn't with Eng as her shoes got 'stolen' by someone having similar shoe type.. (optimistically, she got herself a new pair of shoes~ :)

And her order of lunch wasn't good as well. Poor her~



A unique gathering indeed, that Theng even got tutoring on math and circuits on the spot!

Haha.. and it ended up Liang and others solving the math question, the PSpice learning without much advancement, and the ME wondering if I ever studied circuits and electronics!! My... I'd better go dig into the books...

Being with the gurls makes me feel like myself again..


Happy Raya everyone!!
