Family Trip 2009

Well, suppose to blog this right after I came back from KL but I guess that I am too lazy to. LOL~

Anyway, for this year's family trip, we went to Sabah on November and KL on December. This is the first time I step foot on Sabah and let say the scenery away from its city was really breath taking. We went to Labuan to legally snuck in some alcohol.. Hehe~ Everyone is allowed to bring 1L of alcohol out from Sabah so I chose Chivas of 12 years. Cost me RM75. The 18 years too expensive, RM120+ XD



We also went to Manukan Island for 4 hours which resulted in bad sunburn but all is worth it where I got to swim with and feed the fish! Lotsa rare fish and some rainbow colored one too! I even managed to snorkel! Wanted to try the parachuting activity but nobody wants to accompany me~ *stares at my bro and Jo*



Sabah's really breath taking. We rented a car and went to the foot hill of Mount Kinabalu. So cold and breezy! Would love to stay there! ^_^ We even shopped from the natives there. Super bargain~ hehe~ Oh and we also went to the Memorial Park in Kundasang. Reminded me how many people were killed in the war there and how dreaded must the situation be at that time.



Overall, Sabah is an awesome place to get away from work and all those modern facilities. Just walk around and enjoy its scenery. However, food and parking is wayyyy expensive here. Much more than Kuching and KL. If you are into shopping, then Sabah is not for you. Limited choices really. That's why we went to KL! XP



Ok, on my KL trip chapter, we arrived on 8th and went to Genting on 9th! This time, I didn't manage to go for outdoor theme park since everyone is into the casino. Yikes~ Wasn't interested on its outdoor games anymore cause I guess the maintenance sucks~ Since they changed their management, everything seems less. Most rides are closed and it just not as fun as previously. They even remove the OSIM chair from the cinema! NOooOoo.. The casino's great though. It can be addictive but I just lost my money.. err.. I mean played for fun. Even got I.D checked everytime I went in. The guard thought I'm 17-19 years of age. Whahaha! Made me so happy~ Syok sendiri la~ Hehe!



Back to KL, what else? Shopping time! SOGO, Berjaya Times, Mid Valley, 1 Utama, BB, Sungei Wang.. Reminded me of how I kept plucking my money out from my wallet.. Huhuhu~ We even managed to go to JUSCO Bukit Tinggi at Shah Alam thanks to a friend of bro.



We used MAS Airlines to come home. Luxuries food!! There's Ferrero, fruit cake, guava juice and even Baskin Robbin 31 ice cream for dessert! So heavenly! Hehe~

Relaxation

Have you notice that the time passed by quickly? We're at the end of 2009!


After finishing three final papers which killed me from one to another, I have completed my sixth semester!!


I'm sOoo in a holiday mood and can't wait to meet up with the rest!


Going to Sabah this 25th too. YAYYY!


Oh ya, I have gotten info regarding my next year's practicum venue for 3 months starting from second week of January: SK Garland, Batu Kawa. Love the venue but not too fond of the observers: Dr. Rahmah for Mathematics and Madam Mitty for English. Oh whyyyyy.... =.="


Then again....


Holidayyyy! Sabah!!! KL!!!

Facebook Addiction Disorder

Looks like I've abandoned my blog for pretty long. Heck~ Not just me. Practically, everyone who is on their third year or final year is doing so. *making excuse* XD

My first final paper is on this coming Wednesday and I haven't start revising for that paper yet and barely finish reading for next week's. I think I lost a screw somewhere.. >_<"

All blame FACEBOOK! *blame self-control!* Last time I checked, Facebook holds over like 120million users? And I'm one of them! and also all of my friends. It's almost 5 times the population of Malaysian! How's that? Not a shocking fact actually..

Recently, I heard a news saying about how a wife got kicked out of the house by the husband who claimed that her wife often wakes up in the midnight to harvest her crops in a Facebook game. This is not unbelievable to me as I've seen these symptoms before somewhere. So, I browsed around to find some information regarding Facebook and I stumbled to a new disorder called Facebook Addiction Disorder.

Oh man.. I think I'm having the symptoms.. I can quit but my Happy Farm! My Friends for Sale! *got dragged away*

See you guys in two to three weeks time! After the finals I mean... *crickets' sound*

Awww shrugs! No one's around.. T_T

P/s: Those italic blue-colored text is by my alter ego.. muahaha~

Craving for Bing! Coffee

After rejuvination for a whole week, lectures start again..

Walao eh... This week has been a hectic week for me. I only had 4 hours average of sleep everyday. Slept at 3:00am then woke up around 7:00am in a startled condition, fearing I might be late for my 7:30am lecture. Sometimes, I had to kept my eyes wide awake starting from the first lecture. Sometimes, my energy lasted til the 11:00am lectures where I started yawning really hard and gave my lecture the dull look on her presentation (mind that I sit in front of the class; sitting straight and absorbing all the presentations in that state of mind was not easy for me).

Funniest thing happened on Tuesday or was it Wednesday? It was the 11:00am lecture and Dr. Rahmah came in for her lecture as usual. 30 minutes after, I started yawning and gave her the dull look AGAIN.. Then, she started to comment about pyschological interpretation that she knows who is paying attention and who's not. I thought I was getting the hint from her that I'm not paying attention (and it's already not easy for me to stay focus). When I turned around, I saw most of my coursemates were yawning and having teary eyes due to the yawning.. I guess that hint goes to everyone, not just me.. Imagine the whole class yawning..

Hopefully, next week would be the last week for assignments to torture me and the rest of my coursemates as all projects, assignments and reports are to due next week. Will rejunivate during this weekend and rush some of the assignments to evade burning midnight oil again.. Cause last night, I caused my roomie to move to another room to sleep just because I was awake with me group members finishing on an assignment. Gomen, Christine.. You can torture me by playing the piano loudly for the next two weeks... ^_^"

Oh.. relaxation started this afternoon actually where we massively went to Sya's house for lunch in celebration for Raya. Everyone.. wait.. well most of us were there just to take that one-day-away-from-assignment moments. Lovely lunch indeed. :)

Tomorrow, it's the Mooncake Festival. Going for steamboat with my coursemates. I don't like the eating part but I just can't miss the excitement waiting for me then. I'm that type of person who will try not to miss any exciting events with friends.. LOL..

Arggghhh!! When can I reduce my weight then? I'm so going on rice and meat strike after this! X3 but craving for mocha with caramel at the moment! I want to go to Bing! Coffee... XD

The Big Ka-BOOM!

A big bang happened in the house! Calm down guys.. It's not a bomb. It's my mom's 13 years old dining table letting go of its last breath.. That gigantice dining table finally takes its last toll and broke down. Mom and I had to un-attach its parts to make it easier to get rid of it.

It happened when we were doing house cleaning from top to bottom.. Sigh, looks like we need to go hunting for a new one.

Rest in peace, my precious dining table. You have served our family well over these years. X3

FAMILY DINING TABLE

*no photo was taken as it's just unbearable to watch*

Second Phase Practicum

This morning was my last day of practicum. Half of me was like "Whaa.. can't wait for the time to scram" and the other half was going "Going to miss here.. Thiam, going back to 7am-4pm schedule of lectures again.."

My second phase practicum was completed in SK Tambay, a very small school with average of 15 to 22 pupils in a class. It's a pretty laid back school where all the teachers are very friendly and warm as well as the staff there ranging from the cooks, clerks, security guards and cleaner. My session with the pupils was around 5 hours a week excluding all the other teach-ins that I might have to take. I taught Year 4 Mathematics and Phys. Ed.

So, this morning was my last day. I bought some gifts to 17 'Denise the Menace' in my class. Well, not all are menace but most of them are. =_=" I had my last lesson before the recess and after the recess, we had a short assembly. After the short assembly, I was planning to pack my stuff and getting myself ready to go back when the class monitor of Year 4 pulled me to the class, claiming that they were crying in the class. Indeed they were...

Being a very cold-hearted teacher.. acclaimed my practicum partner for me not crying when I saw them cry, I just felt weird thinking the whole time, I kept on lecturing them on finishing their homework and punishing them whenever they make noise and being naughty during my lesson. So how in hell would they miss me??

It was like 16 broken pipes in the class! Even the naughiest boy whom I punished almost every lesson. Gosh~ I had to retain myself for quite a while just to comfort all of them and when I started waving goodbye to them, they all cried back!!

In the end, a teacher asked me to ignore them and walk away or else I could not leave the class. I did that and after packing my stuff and bringing it all to my car, there they were! All 17! Crying on my car! Aiyoyo~ Some of the girls even pull my clothes asking me not to go.. but what can be done? Every journey has its end.

Anyhow, feeling pretty tired atm. Symptoms of flu are appearing.. and holiday's around the corner. Going to zz soon so logging off..
