Recently.

This post is just another post combining all the photos in my camera roll in chronological order. It has been a while since I blogged because there are too many assignments and papers to do. I was finally done with most of them and a 1500 words Hubungan Etnik essay, it has been a while since I wrote a Melayu essay. *unbeatable accomplishment. Now just leave a video and another interview to be done this afternoon.

 I finally manage to read some books lately, some new books I bought last month are still on the cupboard. Sometime I wish I were a vampire, so I don't have to sleep and able to spend more time reading and studying. *just saying.

The weather is crazily hot and I consume more and more cold drinks.

and the Hainanese chicken rice.

Gim's burger the other day. I love their fries!

and I fall in love with MUSTARD. 

a random selfie at college. my pimples had takeover my face. *SOS

the photo is edited so you don't see many pimples.

buns for quick lunch after repairing my car keys. I hope there are no more extra expenses next month. 

cupcake and tea with WS at bicycle cafe. If you're looking for good waffles and cupcake in kuching, I will recommend here. (Bicycle cafe @Jalan Song, beside Watson)

Steamboat with chinese course mates. 

lecturer rewarded me a pack of chocolate *double happiness. I'm very happy that I got such a good grade which is kinda outstanding and never happened in my life before. 5 out of 330. At the same time, it is another stressful moment because you gotta work harder to maintain the good grade so the hard work before that will be worthwhile. Oh wait, what kinda cycle is this? by the way, I thanks God for the good grade and that pack of chocolate. 

simple yet so delicious dessert before lunch.

wu fang ji bah kut teh, Thanks pastor Ling for the lunch and ride. He is such an inspiring pastor. 

I have been figuring about this lately, kinda decided to delay my florist course. I'm planning to join the 大专短宣 in Sibu (July- Sept). I know it ain't gonna be an easy road because I heard some of the them sharing about the routine and content. 

there are so many things that I couldn't be certain about but at least there is something I know for sure, in my mind, I know I'm lack of wisdom and knowledge & I'm eager to learn. 

Yes, I took things for granted.

Once in a while,  I felt so unsatisfied with everything. I felt so bad, whatever I had just ain't good enough. I felt so depressed and unmotivated for the goals I set for myself. They are the motivators but they could be what drive me nut. Sometimes, they seem too far away, there are dreams instead of goals. 

When the negative feeling starts to take over...

Last night was a memorable one, I gave up my time for assignment because I had duty to perform for cell group. Just a little job that I think I should bring my laptop/ book over so I could do something while waiting. I felt like it was a waste of time if I didn't bring book or laptop along. But at last, I didn't bring a single thing with me except notebook because I was running late and I don't like to make people wait for too long.

It becomes one of the time I appreciate everything I got, no matter good/ bad.

I was the one who held responsible to contact my members for personal meet up with the pastor. and I was accompanying the members/ pastor during the meeting. I thought it is just a waste of time because my job is just sitting there and waiting for the next to come, contact them if they didn't turn up, I wasn't involve in the topic of meeting which made me think that it is unimportant/ irrelevant to me. But as I listen to them, I realized a lot of thing I omitted, and learnt many things at a night. Make the night a fruitful and memorable one. (I don't mean to compare, discriminate or offense). Take nothing for granted:

FAMILY

1) My parents are in good health, they could work, they have income, they give me extra pocket money. who said they must be in good health; who said they must work, they can choose to not work; they can choose to get money from you although you are still studying. 

2) My siblings are in good health, and we love/ treasure each other. siblings could be the financial burden to your family if they have problems physically or mentally. I don't mean to discriminate anyone. but cherish them and give thanks.

3) My parents are being supportive in everything I do. I have the most to say on this. To admit, my parents never deny me or being discourage in anything I do/ did. When I first said I wanna learn make up, they said nothing but give me the fee to attend the personal make up course; When I said I wanna go diving, I know my mum is worried about my safety but she didn't discourage me at all. When I said I wanna take a florist course in KL, they give me a big smile and tell me to go ahead.

I would said that all those courses are just self- enrichment, I wouldn't die if I didn't attend them but my parents being so supportive and I blame myself I didn't realized how good they are playing their role as a parent. they gives me more than I deserved, more than I asked for. Even if I didn't do well, they wouldn't scold me or say anything negative.

4) My parents trust me.They didn't spit a word when I tell them I need extra pocket money from the given extra. They never interfere who I mingle with, what I do and where I go. I couldn't even promise to myself that I could afford to give them that amount of money every month when I get a job.

RELATIONSHIP

1) As a christian, I should start a relationship only if I'm prepared to get married with him. And this should be the common understanding or agreements between both of us. (I'm single so the 'us' refers to the one that appears in my future.)

2) Marry a Christian. I don't mean to discriminate. But for my own religion sake, it is healthier to get a Christian guy so that we could go to church together, serve together, encourage each other in Christ, grow in Christ and raise our children in the way Christian should. (I mean mutual understanding) Religion can also be the thing that hold us back. So we don't have to fight over things like bring the children to temple or pastor when the sickness don't go away. There are things that you can foresee and avoid. My parents are my personal idol in spiritual life and serving.

3) If he is not a Christian, make sure he will convert afterwards. If you have no confidence with it, let him go. Lord won't give you a man to live with and protect you yet the guy don't recognize Him (Like your dad won't assign you a guy that he don't even know). Although there were some successful cases but the percentage is just too low and most of the time, the wife follows her husband and has to leave church. That's what I don't want.

4) Pray for my future partner. I have been hearing many wonderful love stories from my church elders. They shared with us about how they met their partner, how could they be certain that he/ she is the one. Nothing works without prayers.

5) No sex before marriage. I joined NO Apologize and made a pledge when I was in form 3. But that is not what restrains me from sex before marriage but I have seen too many or countless sex before marriage and end with divorce. Yes, there are cases that are fruitful in the end but I have no confidence to take the risk.You don't know what the future holds. I know what I want, a marriage based on solid foundation. Sex can be misleading and blind you from the reality, a baby can lead to a marriage for the sake of  marriage. But for me, that kinda marriage isn't based on the love between each other but the baby need a family to grow up with. You might say there are cases that couple with no sex before marriage still get divorced at the end. I couldn't take control of everything but at least my own relationship. I personally think that, no sex before marriage is a big step to a successful marriage. Future partner is the only family member I could choose for myself so I wanna be extra careful. Sex should be a gift for the married. Like you only open the birthday gift on your birthday, which makes the gift worth and extra meaning.

PERSONAL

# You can only solve the problem when you face it/ when you admit it is a problem.

# A joyful heart is the best gift  to yourselves.

# You don't compare yourselves with other. Those who have more are 'obligated' to do/ give more.

# Be financial independence. Earn your own money.

# Be wise in spending but don't be too over in saving. Take proper meals because money you saved cannot buy you health.

# Recite bible everyday if you found it hard to concentrate and read the bible. Psalm could be a good start.

# Leave the scene that overload with stress.

# The most lethal thing is negative thinking.

Note to myself, sharing is caring.

Goodnight.

Damai Beach Resort

 Road trip to Damai Beach Resort accompanied with this beautiful weather.

spacious room

bookshelf beside the pool, but there are not English. French or German? I couldn't tell.

I'm 12, so let me dive into the kids pool, okay? *silly

watching just go with it on FOX.

 

sitting at the lobby and waiting for the evening to come so I could go out under the sun.

went to the beach at 6pm before the sun set, stood in the sea at waist depth, felt the wave and watched the sun set. I still got tanned in the end. =,=

Seafood at Lim's 

Luckily I got to bed quite early and escape from the game. ;p

hotel breakfast is forever delicious. 

morning walk before checking out. 

and I have been doing assignments for three days now but I still haven't complete it.

LORD, save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! send me back to the beach T.T

Cuppa- Kap Coffee@ Jalan Song

I can finally pronounce the name now, it takes me a few days.

Introducing the crepe in town! 

It is located in front of Porkie and beside a Korean restaurant. You can easily recognize the shop by the crowd. 

     Green Tea's

    Nutella's 

They were quite heavy, I would recommend sharing. The coffee smelt very good, I'm tempted to go back for the coffee.

have to get back to assignment. Happy Friday! :)

Food hunt in Kuching

The troubles, troubles, troubles version.

It was Monday morning and I decided to go for food hunt in downtown. I was driving happily as I see no sign of traffic jam on the road. 

After turning, it was a different story. OK, next time I will just keep quiet.

Had been wanting to visit Greenhill corner for the famous roasted chicken rice. My friends even told me that it was sold by the time they are there, which is around 9am. Just as I was clapping for being an early bird until I realised it was not yet open. *dark cloud above me. 

I asked the waitress beside, 

Me: it is closed today?

waitress: No, it will starts operating at 9am.

Me (OS): but my friends told me it is sold at 9am, so that means sold= start operating= 9am??? not so impressive. 

By the way, I decided to not wait and went on with plan B. I walked to another cafe I researched earlier which is a few streets away. 

walk walk walk...

and found no cafe named Min Joo along the street. 

I asked the nanny at the temple and she replied with her partner saying that they don't know if that shop ever exists but the kind hearted nanny walked  me to the cafe near by and help me ask the owner of the cafe. And everybody was like staring at me. WALAO, I know that is not so ethical to ask a competitor. For the sake of the nanny, I didn't get treated with broom or nasty words but the young lady at the counter didn't give a good 'face color' either. I should just leave, to be honest, I want to leave so badly. Luckily an old man told me there is another cafe named Kim Joo at THAT side. I NEED to leave so just leave before I get more detailed information. I walked until the end of the street and couldn't even find a cafe. People in shop along the street are giving me dirty stare like what is this girl walking alone here. ( I had been passing by for many times because I wanna make sure I didn't leave this out.)

OK (second time of the day), 

I made up my mind to leave and when I got back in my car, I felt so hungry. I might as well just try the beef noodle stall beside the chicken rice stall. 

To my delight, the beef noodle was quite good, definitely worth trying.

But the times was still very early plus that I'm not fulled yet. So, went to law lee cafe (Lee coffee shop) and ordered a fried kueh tiaw with bean sprouts.

reading newspaper while eating my kueh tiaw. 

went to Maybank ATM and my ATM card couldn't be processed.

OK ( for the third time of the day), I will just waited for 10 minutes until the bank starts operating because I would need an eraser for my ATM card. After N times of attempts, my card just couldn't be processed. The counter service advised me to get a new card for replacement. 

OK( for the forth times of the day). So, I queued for customer service and fortunately I got served real soon. and the fact is that I key-in the wrong pass code for more than 3 times so my card got blocked. =.= 

I got access to my account after that, thumb up for the Maybank efficiency level. I'm very pleased.

went to choon hui cafe, another popular breakfast spot in town but it was closed. IDK why. tell me.  

Remember the Min Joo cafe I mentioned earlier, I thanks God someone updated the latest information on his blog saying that MIN JOO (old) >>>>>> 面家汤 (now)。

so had my lunch there. full house so everybody had to queue or share tables with strangers. I choose the queue because I forgot about the second options. This place needs no introduction, it is just simply delicious and famous along the local. Kennysia recommended this place as the best kolok mee award 2008. so, as described, you wait and wait and wait to get seated; you wait and wait and wait to get your food ordered; you wait and wait and wait to get your food served. 

kolok mee

Dang Dang Dang, the best mix pork soup ever.

ran some errands with WS and sunny hill ice cream in the hot afternoon! :)

Thanks for the treat, your time and your wise words. 

things got better after that, no more OK. *giggle

Met up with U62 gang for dinner @Dyak. ;D

Long time no see, felt so good to catch up with everyone.

I love the interior design although it is a bit dark.

I missed one dish.

went for a drink before home.
