Singapore + JB one day trip.

last Thursday, my holiday began...
all the classes should end by 12 noon on Thursday in AIMST. coz it was declared as holiday until Monday. so Tuesday suppose to start classes.
but for certain faculty like Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering and Business, this week was their mid term break...

on Thursday, i came back by my junior's car at 2.50pm. He drove quite fast, and i reached home at 5.30pm...
however, it was not a rest time for me. i should get prepared to go Singapore by bus which is 7pm one....the reason why i go singapore is to accompany my mum who wanted to go and visit her friend, Ps Lilian. Her mum passed away peacefull y. but anyhow, strong relationship is important. my mum went all the way from Ayer Tawar to Singapore to send condolence to her.

well, the bus leaved Ayer Tawar at 7.15pm and reached Singapore at 4am.
as the MRT station opened at 5.45am, so we waited for a while and rest then only we walked to the MRT Station. the bus stopped us at Golden Mile Complex. and from there, the nearest MRT Station is Lavender. at Lavender, we bought the MRT ticket to Hougang (our destination), where my mum's friend stay.
From Lavender, the MRT passed by Bugis, City Hall, Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar, then Outram Park. at Outram Park interchange, we change MRT and head off to Hougang.



in the MRT




finally, we reached Hougang...



the shops....which housewives buy vegetables and daily needs.





we took our breakfast at the food court there.


Fishball Dry Mee-Pok.

this is Hougang Mall. (opposite my mum's friend's house.)



the mall was quite big, but sadly it not yet open when we reached there as it was just 6.30am....
so i missed the chance of shopping there.



after breakfast, we walked to Ps Lilian's house which is just nearby from the Hougang Mall.


'chai tau' kuih....Singapore famous.

and it is delicious!

in the afternoon, we went to another sister's house at Woodland.



SBS bus which you can see everywhere in Singapore.


on the way to her house...





another delicious meal...

it was cooked by Ps Hoong Lian's church worker's mum.



then we came out from Singapore and rest in Johor Bahru.
we're damn tired so we rest at Ps Hoong Lian's house.

in the evening, my mum and I went to Jaya Jusco, Tebrau City for shopping.
but we bought nothing there. just walk and look around.

at 7pm, we went for dinner at Molek.


an unique restaurant...








after dinner, we went to the bus station at Larkin. finally, our bus came and we went back home~
exhausted....by the time i reached home, it was already 6am Saturday morning.

AIMST 2nd Convocation and FECT Inaugural Dinner

i am having one week holiday at home now. it's my mid semester break. after break i am having exam n exam....so this week for me should be study week, not enjoying too much. however, once i was at home, i hardly had the mood to study as i'll alwa
ys online, watching tv, sleeping on my comfortable room and go out + go church...

however, i know i should spend time studying as this is my first exam since i enter degree....

last week Saturday was AIMST 2nd Convocation. which was quite a grand event in our campus. Datuk Samy Vellu also came for the opening of the Convo. me and my friends was chosen to in charge the ticket collecting during high tea for staffs and graduates+ their parents. so our work start in the afternoon. morning, we just went into the great hall to have a look at how the convo is going on....we'll facing this 4 years later( for my own graduation)...

hmm, can you see Dato Samy Vellu in the picture below??
actually we're not suppose to take photos in the hall, but i curi-curi took...haha~



one of the pharmacy senior



me n syamala...before working.

actually not much students came over for the high tea. many food left. as they prefer to go and eat outside with their friends or family....

after the convocation, we took a bath then went to Penang. we're having Inaugural Dinner at Paradise Sandy Beach Resort, Pulau Pinang.

Mr Muthu...

the guys performance.

no title...

yesterday is Mooncake Festival.
but here in AIMST, it seems not much atmosphere of Mooncake Festival at all...
however yesterday (3/10/09) my friend gave me some mooncakes...hehe~ happy.
coz she know i didn't go back home so can't hav the chance to eat mooncake.

actually i am not really that crazy about mooncake, just that when something is not in your hand, you'll try to appreciate it but sometimes, when the thing is at your hand, you don't know how to appreciate it.
same as going back home. when i was in hostel, how i wish i can go back home, but sometimes at home, i wish i was at hostel...
ok enough of nonsense.... haha~

yesterday morning i got replacement class...the lecturer is so hardworking...(Introduction to Programming).

at night, i played piano in my church in SP. after the service, me and some church friends went to Old Town WHite Coffee as it was still early...
we ate supper there(my dinner). then we talk talk talk...
until 12.40am only we went back. by the time i reached hostel it was already 1am...haha. luckily the guard didn't scold me...

the Mooncake Festival atmosphere in AIMST is only on last MOnday.
(28/9/09)
the dentistry students organize special event which they sold mooncakes, lanterns, foods, and some lucky draw games....
they also sold 孔明灯 for RM 35.
you can write your wishes there ....


i was joining those foundation students this year as most of the degree students are studying....and as i said, not much atmosphere this year.
when joining the foundation students, i remembered last year during my foundation time, i also played lantern and walk around the campus with my friends, but this year, it seems everyone r busy with classes n studying for mid term test...




they are writing their wishes on the 孔明灯. (in front of study room)
most of them wishes to score well in exam..
its normal for students actually...



after finish writing, we walk to the field at the sports complex. most of the students are already there and they started to light up the 孔明灯.








it was nice to see the 孔明灯 being burned and fly up the sky....

tuesday evening i'm going back home...so happy~
i know it is a bit weird going back in the middle of weekdays.
and i actually coming back again on Wednesday afternoon...after my MUET speaking test.

then 10th October is the Inaugural Dinner. 11th October going back for one week holiday!
at first i plan to take bus from Butterworth back Lumut. but my classmate from Ipoh which is planning to take the bus with me from Butterworth told her dad about our plan and guess what, her dad offered himself to come to Penang and drive her back, and also send be back Ayer Tawar! i was shocked...so good...hehe. she told me it's ok, her family always like to travel, so sending me back home is not a big problem and plus his dad like to explore places....well, fine. haha...

last but not least,
mum n dad, i miss u....
looking forward to meet you in next few days...tell me about the story and experience in Taiwan...

Mooncake...

Mooncake Festival, also known as Mid Autumn Festival is coming...
it is this Saturday.

my home-church having special celebration for Mooncake Festival this year i guess...

however due to replacement class for Introduction to Programming subject, I can't go back hometown to celebrate this chinese festival...and plus, i have to play piano in my SP church this Saturday, so i can't go back also...
can't go back = don't have chance to eat mooncake (unless u go to the shop to buy urself)
but if at home means will got free mooncake, either my dad's colleague gave or my mum's friend gave or my parents bought one...

but one thing i am sure is...
I WANT TO EAT MOONCAKE~~

haiz...

anyway, i found some blogs written about mooncake and just look through the picture...haha~
i also found some images on mooncake through online.
just to satisfy myself.

i know mooncake got high colestrol, thus eating too much mooncake is no good.
you'll become fatter n diabetes, may be...

so just see the photo enough. haha~

Inaugural Dinner...10th Oct. coming soon.....
we're practising the dance these few days...
and this Thursday we're having rehersal + Inaugural Dinner meeting.
hopefully the chairman come for the meeting this week...if not i had to handle again. haiz.
conducting meeting really not an easy job as i was just a year 1 student...; facing those year 2 n year 4 seniors...although the seniors are kind of good to me, but still got some pressure.
and every meeting, hav to prepare agenda. but i nvr do tat....haha.

friday...

today is friday...weekend coming.
weekend, for me can be two types...haha~
why is it so? the first type is fully packed weekend and the second type is boring weekend.

fully weekend = going back hometown and busy with church things...

boring weekend = staying in hostel online, study, sleeping....which is quite boring. only go church at Saturday night.

whereas if i go back hometown, Saturday morning will go Sitiawan or Kg Koh to have breakfast with my mum. then may be go shop around. Afternoon, go Children Church + Youth service...then Song Practice. after the practise, having dinner with mum n dad either in Taman Sentosa, Ayer Tawar or Sitiawan... after dinner, go shopping sometimes to buy things...

at night, watching tv or online at home........
usually i'll sleep late on Saturday night. i tried to sleep early but can't...coz is at home ma...so warm!
then Sunday morning will go church with my family...i love Sunday morning....we having Sunday Service. after church service, we'll had lunch at one of the church elder's house.
then it's time to rest...either i'll sleep or online again...

Sunday evening, Rejoice Exercise...everytime i wanted to go but lazy, haha...i prefer to stay at home waiting for my parents to come back and then went for dinner at Sitiawan. after dinner, shopping n buy watever stuff is needed to bring back hostel tomorrow morning...

that's my fully packed n enjoyable weekend.....


if compare to now....a boring weekend = i just can online n sleep....
can't go shopping unless i hang out with my friends. but last week already went Penang. I don't want to spend my money now yet. save for the Engineering Inaugural Dinner on 10th October at Penang Paradise Beach Resort....it is actually a graduation dinner for those Engineering students who are going to graduate soon...but we invite others to come also and make it Inaugural Night...



haiz, talking about the dinner, i still can't figure out why i am holding the vice chairman post for this dinner...everytime the chairman absent for the dinner meeting, the lecturer will ask me to take over and conduct the meeting...
ok that's fine. my job will be over after the dinner.

but today, i get to know that i was selected to be the Vice President of AEITS (AIMST Engineering & Information Technology Society)...haiz, pity.....

luckily i am not involved in the Kabaddi event which is held grandly in AIMST these days...first i don't know what game is that, secondly, i was not interested in involving the activity, and thirdly, i was not that free...

TODAY IS FRIDAY>>>
we had Linear Circuit class from 8am - 11.50am.....can u imagine??
but our lecturer is giving us problems and then discuss the answer. so it was better. time past fast. if 4 hours lecture, then will be sleepy n tired...=.=

in the afternoon, we had Engineering workshop as usual for every friday 2pm-5pm...
i hate workshop...
today we are doing fitting....dealing with metal....haiz, really need a lot of energy to cut the metal and the mould it...
so that it can fit both side...

anyway, we saw our result for last two week sand casting + moulding:









it was imperfect, we knew....coz put too much water...
so the mould was not so perfect. anyway, at least we done one task...

my dad reached home. just now i got his sms. i wondered if he sent to 3 of us...(my siblings)

i miss home...
only can go back on 6th October night. coz 7th October having MUET Speaking test. then have to rush back AIMST to attend classes in the afternoon...

thanks to my mum...

she is now still in Taipei. God with her~
