Our Second Honeymoon in Singapore


Arrived at airport nearly 7pm and it was already getting dark
Caught a cab and headed back home to freshen up before heading to dinner
Everything unexpectedly done in a quick manner and proceeded to Tampines Mall
Watched "Sadako" and not to mention it was just a little scary
And I tried to stay calm
Without having his hands to be in blue black condition
He got ready before any surprises
And we survived the night walking back home at midnight
Although it was late at night
We were still accompanied by so many people around us 
They were walking and some cycling having the same purpose - going home ^.^


The next morning he went to work and I woke up a little late
Cleaned his room a little and packed his stuffs that took me about half hour
Within a glimpse of your eyes I transformed myself ready to go out
I packed my bag and took his S3 phone down town hunting the new mall - Suntec
Beforehand took brunch at Tampines Mall Kopitiam - Wan Than Mee, Ice Lemon Tea


Well in the train I headed first to City Hall SMRT station
And I walked the underpath and it linked me to several other places
I went around Suntec City and explored the Fountain of Wealth
Next walked underpath again heading to the Raffles City Shopping Mall
Not so far from Suntec and I walked along checking my fb at the same time
I walked around and to my surprise I bumped into my brother, David
And had my teatime chatting with him in which I never intend to look out for his stall


Dear finished his work and called his phone looking for wife
I thought of running back Tampines but he finished work early
So we met at Raffles City Shopping Mall for dinner before going back
He looked awesome in his formal but pitied that he was already exhausted


His face always reminds me of chubby bii when he was asleep
Well since it's Friday night we decided to head for a big feast
And we walked around and arrived at The Swensen at Marina Square
Forgotten what is the exact name of the food cause I am forgetful
All that I could remember is Softcrab Spagetti and Chicken Cutlet
My dear can you recall them? hahax


The next day we ate lunch at T-junction RamenPlay
We ordered Kotteri Ramen and Cha Shu Double Soup Ramen
Both tasted great and truly asian food :)


Then we strolled around the big city hands holding tight
And mine sweating hot but he didn't mind ^.^ hehe
We then headed to Cathay cinema bought 4 tickets head to head
The Madagascar 3 and The Dictator and laughed our lungs out
We spent quite a lot on snacks and movie at CineLeisure Orchard
But it was okay and we walked around Orchard area
Saw an ice-cream bun stall and my god he bought Durian Ice-cream Bun
Biting like it was the most delicious mouth-watering food ever
So I took a few bites and indeed he was correct it tasted good


We ended our journey from there and went home happily
The road from Tampines Mall back to home might be long and windy
But with him beside me the journey seemed short and brief


The next morning we woke up quite early but I always get to stare at his face
And kissed him as he opened his eyes looking ever so blur and innocent
Had our majestic breakfast ranging from chinese to western cuisine
And we took free shutter bus from Tampines to IKEA and Courts


Went fooling around and scrolled through all the furnitures at IKEA
Then moved on to Courts to do survey on cameras and beds
About noon took bus back Tampines and headed on to East Coast
Took bus at Tampines again waited almost half an hour
While dear checking online how to get there conveniently
Puffed and we reached in less than half an hour by bus


Summer gave us warmth and the sun wasn't scotching hot
It was windy with comfortable sea breeze swiping our faces
And the beach filled with kids chasing each other and bbq activities
We were too hungry so we consumed some fatty stuffs; McD
Menu available here is so different from Malaysia's menu
Was amused with the extra large size carbonated drinks and corns
We rented a 2-people bicycle for 2 hours although I was a little scared
I knew with my height like that it would be difficult for me to ride
But challengue accepted and we successfully making it down the road
His face was sun-burned reddish as if he looked shy like a flower


The next 1.5hours we managed to get ourselves to Holand Village
We chose shortcut and in the end we waited quite long for his friends
And they did arrive when the sky turned to dark dark blue that faithful night
We walked to Rooftop 211 Restaurant and ordered western dishes
Overall satisfactory guaranteed and everyone was happy


After dinner we waved goodbye and carry on to our next destination
Mustafar Centre located quite a distance from Holland Village
We reached there just in time and walked around the 7 storeys building
It looked like supermarket from outside but the truth amazed me
It has almost all the daily needs we hunted for and all available at 1 spot
Soon we rushed to the nearest bus stop and waited for midnight bus
As he planned perfectly we managed to catch the train back to Tampines

Our last walk back home from Tampines SMRT and we moved real slow
Enjoying the last moment and the last night we spent in Singapore


The next morning we woke up again real early and got ready to Changi airport
Breakfast at Terminal 2 was as usual with heavy hearts
Most of the time we remained silent and stared at each other's eyes
We took a bus from Terminal 2 to Budget Terminal in order to board
Tiger Airways was doing bad with long queues at every counter
But at least it spared us some time to be together at the very last moment
As the time came we hugged and he left to work while I waited for my flight
Arrived safely at LCCT Kuala Lumpur and well will be there again soon :*

Detour le Kuching

On departing to Kuching alone at 7.50am
I felt very nervous on catching the plane
Reached around 10.55am at LCCT which is okay
Took bus from uni main entrance gate and from there
Reached train station UKM to Nilai train station
From there took 2 buses separately location to reach LCCT
That's why I took bout 3 hours to reach there


Checked in my luggage 8kg I decided to have mcD for lunch
Sat there for an hour looking at people hurrying here and there
Was amazed seeing some big families departing together for vacation
Which will never happen to my family as my grandma doesn't wanna take flight
My parents prefer to stay at home while my dog needs people to take care
Board the plane and my heart filled with mixture of emotions
As I wished everything will go smoothly in Kuching
Just as I hoped miracles just happened sometimes
And all along 4.5 days in Kuching things were unpredictably perfect


We went to many shopping malls and night market
We watched Abraham Lincoln and Prometheus at The Spring Mall
Prometheus that movie was the most comfortable for me
I dunno if he felt the same after all I the one putting weight on him
He hugged me from back while supporting me made me feel comfortable
Till I can sleep in his arms while watching movie
Meanwhile Madagascar was put on hold after this 2 movies..
Madagascar, Sadako and Dictator watched in Singapore the week after
Sadako 3D movie was okay but the audience here in Singapore laughed a lot
And we felt the suspense feeling in air with them which is cool
The ghost lady hand jerking out from the screen into my 3D glasses
Never put me in fear at all but I was enjoying horror movie for the first time


Madagascar was overall pleasant with lots of funny jokes and conversation
Making everyone in the cinema alive and gave much mirth to the audience
On the other hand, The Dictator was not shown in Malaysia
Therefore I'm glad to watch it overseas and it was rated 18 there
Luckily I'm matured enough to gain entry into THX theather that very lucky day


His family members are too kind and too friendly for me
I felt so grateful meeting them for the very first time
I had been brought to various places to eat various food
Kolo Mee was the best, followed by Kueh Chap and Laksa
Although I didn't really taste their laksa cause it tasted a little weird to me
But anyhow, it was uniquely Sarawak Laksa and only available there

It was purely white colour springy mee served with vinegar and chillis
Different stalls serve different types of Kolo Mee and all of them I love to eat too
This is the Kueh Chap served at night market and taste like bak kut teh ^^
This is the most famous 3 layered tea in Kuching
Made from tea first layer followed by fresh milk and gula melaka
Formed the 3 layered tea mixed well and be served chilled
Their famous Paku Chai which was served in white wine that day
Usually locals will fried it with belacan and served with cili padi
Anyway it tasted nice and crunchy with sweet aroma
This is the 六味汤 means 6 tastes soup
I couldnt identify the 6th ingredient in it
Cause in west Malaysia we only have 5 taste soup
Anyway I like to chew on the ice and jelly :)
The first ever unique grill stove made of glass over the heater
At U garden in Kuching at very reasonable price
However the place was in dim light so we couldnt see the "meat" properly
The next day unfortunately I had diarrhoea caused from the clams
Nice experience though I need to attend the toilet more often than usual
This thin unique piece of egg needed a lot Kung Fu to create it
But somehow I couldnt taste the egg I could taste the vegetables in it more
The big fresh prawn grilled with wine
Taste like lobster and full of meaty smell


My last night in Kuching I felt heavy hearted
I missed Kuching a lot and his family too
Although Kuching full of pot holes on its road
Although traffic jam was as terrible as it is in Penang
Kuching is still a wonderful city and peace at night
He brought me around the city after 12am although he was exhausted
Knowing that this is the last night we could spend together in Kuching
Showing me every places he could and all the cat statues
Thanks you my love and I appreciate it a lot
Thank you for the hospitality you had given to me
All the sacrifices you had for me truly worth while


As we waved goodbye to his mummy and sister
We boarded the plane to our next destination
I could feel that he misses his family a lot
But life must carry on and we headed to Singapore
I must admit I'm excited that day to fly in the air for the first time
With someone I loved most

Emotionally Disturbed

Woke up without alarms and kept sweating
Midnights wind kept blowing chilling me down my spine
As I woke up I went to grab my notes and read a page
Soon fell asleep again as usual I am allergic not only to dust
But the words in my notes turned me drowsy...

Morning was all bout thesis and faculty
Burned one CD-R for the complete version of assignments
In the end they said we need two.. what the heck..
I rushed back room and burn the second disc for them
Meanwhile my friend needed to borrow my notes and photocopy
And helped her to burn her CDs as well
I allowed her to come to my room and burn it
She forgotten to bring one of the crucial file 
I made way to her room and we took bus then
Her room was a mess cause her roommates never tidy them
Tipped toe ever every pieces of clothes and papers on the floor
And everything was done b4 2pm so I was much relieved

I kept one of the thicked cover thesis to be brought back hometown
This is the very first book I produced myself in Uni after 3 years
Kind of feeling satisfied with it and loved the 1 year hard work then

Started feeling sleepy in the evening and by dinner time
No appetite to eat at all and the reason was unknown
After drinking cold orange juices and threw away unfinished meal
Headed back room started feeling tired and dizzy
Then accompanied by feeling of vomiting
I hope not too stress or food poisoning though

Tonight's revision slowed down rapidly
As these 2 exams are my last exams in Uni
I hope I don't stand a chance to fail in any of them
I will cherish them and will remember it forever
That I won't get to sit for exams anymore in future ^^
Cheers.....
Guess it's time for me to rest since I don't feel good now
And someone was already fallen asleep like a pig
Need time to nurture the sleepiness mood on lovely bed
It's time to call it a day ~

Viva was over

Yesterday was a day where I can relaxed
I took a long nap without setting up alarm
And yet woke up with a surprise treat
To The Mines Shopping Mall for a walk
Well I went for dinner and initially they planned
For a movie but eventually we just stroll around

Bought some titbits enough for study week
Although tutorials for this Friday I haven't started
Seems like time is limiting my outings
So will be focusing on my studies this week



Viva was the scariest presentation in university
As lecturers bombard you with questions you couldn't imagine
I presented my data and research for approximately 5minutes
And the Q&A session took more than 10minutes
The questions threw to me was kinda unexpected
And I just bla bla bla all the way till the end
Saw the marking papers and knew that it wasn't really bad
After all, I still need to do corrections and resubmit
The hard cover version as much as three copies and a CD
Next Monday is the dying day...


Looking over the foldings on each pages
Is making me weak and busy for the whole night
Each folds indicates mistakes made on tat page itself
I done half and it's time to say goodnight all..
The rest I will leave it for tomorrow...

Genting '12

The sky was still dark when I left my room
Heading to the train station to meet my sis and her friends
She smsed me she was on the train heading my station
So 15minutes later train arrived and I got in searching for her
Unfortunately it was a different train from hers
Reached KL Sentral and had breakfast at McD


Bought tickets for theme park and bus services
Departed at 9.30am happily and eagerly waiting what's coming up next
Reached within 1hour.. such a short journey
Last time it took me bout 5 hours when I departed from Penang
Well the view along the way was nice and calm outside
The driver was professional as he swayed every corner
I saw the tyre was closed to the drain and uttered "Wow!"


We directly headed to the outdoor theme park upon arrival
In the cool breeze after a morning downpour
We made our way to the park's famed Flying Coaster ride
This is a special ride and it is the first in Asia
Having to lie down on the platform and stand on a mini ladder
With their back strapped to a cage-like frame
Unlike the usual roller-coaster ride in which passengers are seated
I felt how Superman felt while he was flying in the air ^^



Next was the Sungai Rejang Flume Ride which made us all soaked
Each log boat takes a short, rapid descent before splashing into a pool of water
It doesn't look scary at all from far as I thought
However, I really shocked and my heart missed a beat or two
When the log boat slide down like land slide at the cliff
Anyway, all of us soaked from waist down
The level of excitement seek by teenagers and youths can be found here


There were several other thrilling rides in the park
Pirate ship, spinner, corkscrew, Grand Prix Fun Kart,
Space shot, bumper boat, flying dragon coaster rides
The only game I did not try is the Space shot
I couldn't handle the pressure down my throat
As I might choked to death
I couldn't alleviate my fear since the last 3 years
I still couldn't step my foot into it
Well that's not crucial as long as I'm happy


Not long after mists started to pay its fierce visit
Closing the whole theme park area one can barely see 10meters ahead
As usual it will rain at noon around 1pm to about 5pm
It happened almost everyday in Genting and all outdoor activities had to stop



Moments not wasted and we went for mouth-watering lunch
I ordered Frog Leg Porridge since the weather was cold
And it's best served with something hot and boiling
Can't believe they loaded too much pepper and I dislike the ginger -.-
Costs me bout rm 15 and I felt reasonable eating on top of the hill


After meals we went around as I brought the troop here and there
Everyone else dunno the directions but I still remembered a little
From the past memory daunting back 3 years ago after I finished my STPM
Amazingly the guard at casino allowed my sis and I to go in and had a look
Well we just go for a drink and peeped around those hungry gamblers


We headed back at 8.30pm to catch the bus back KL Sentral
We ate our dinner upon reaching downhill as it was much cheaper
All and all it was a good trip and my sis first visit to Genting was memorable
Although it was my second time to Genting, I missed the cold weather there
Will plan to go there again whenever possible ^^

Finally Done!

After 2 semesters of hard work
Endless meetings and lab works
Unlimited time spent at jungle stinky lab
With mice borned generation after generation
Amounting up to 80 of them 
And yet their life were terminated 

Thanks to all my friends and lecturer
For guidance, advice and support
We gone through the dark and the light
We had laughter and of course gossips
Although there were 5 of us assigned on almost the same task
The malay guy shunned away cause he was too shy to mix
End up we 4 girls 1 gang nonstop chit chatting
All the way in lab, in car and in the office

Well, I was happy and will never get to experience it anymore
Not planning to take masters as I hate lab work
Long hours trapped in the lab sounds like a prisoner
Kept waiting and waiting for final results
And today is thesis draft submission day
I finally get it done and soon will be facing hell
THE PRESENTATION DAY - Viva

The process of printing made me suffered
You cannot trust PDF files as they will deviate
The alignments, font size everything will change
After printed I checked but was lazy so printed 2 copies
Thinking that I no longer have to print again
Postgrad message us ask us to confirm our graphs with her
In less than 24 hours she wants a change
You think Bersih 3.0 meh?
I am sorry I couldn't make it for her
I will hand up whatever I have on my hands at 2pm
Plus threathen to attend graduation dinner by faculty
The damage was incredibly RM 15... Owh..

The printing itself cost me RM 40+ 
So total damage in this week more than RM 50 already
But anyhow I am happy that my work is done

Port Dickson Trip and Seremban Interchange

Sharp at 9am all 3 cars went to pick up passengers from different colleges
And a total of 13 people from Biochemistry Department off for holidays
The trip to Seremban took us bout 40minutes as we chit chat in the car
It was a smooth journey from sunny to cloudy days
Had our breakfast I ate Wan Than Mee which is much similar 
To Penang's delicacies and I felt satisfied

Upon reaching Aeon Jusco Seremban the sky turned grey
As we shopped around and took a look at what's available 
An hour later headed to Tesco Extra Seremban to purchase goods
Heavy rain welcomed us after we done shopping 
Ivan's mummy welcomed us with warm greetings
As we all gather in his house to prepare bbq stuffs
We sat down and watch movies and busy chatting
Some fell asleep on his comfortable sofa and some plays poker
I was lying lazy on his couch and eyes on them all

We left about 3pm heading to the beach
It was another half hour plus journey from Seremban
We stopped by to purchase Seremban Siew Pau
Which is the most famous in the country and
I can tell you it tastes great and crunchy
But one reminder you have to eat it ASAP
So that the texture is preserved as the way it meant to be
We were in excitement in the car and keep chatting

As we got out of our car, we frantically took everything with us
And headed to the beach to feel the sand and the sea water
The trees around welcomed us with the friendly sea breeze looking awesome
We have noon mini picnic and the sun is not glaring that day
Made it a perfect one for us since it rained in the morning
We played some sand games and some poor guys get buried
The sea was low tide that time and we walked for quite a distance
We lighted up the charcoal after setting it up 3hours ago
In just 10minutes a bunch of policemen and policewomen approaches
A total of 6 clad in uniforms and wanted to summon us for illegal act
Lighted fire on their beach directly on the sand itself without zinc
Just because 1 summon and so many had to come at the same time
While another group of Malays were camping nearby and weren't caught
It seemed a little unfair cause they too violated the rules but no action taken against them
A compound of RM250 was given by them
We managed to get some discounts as we were not locals
Fortunately so many of us it's a small amount
We continued bbq-ing and enjoy grilled chicken wings
Frankly i love those corns, they were sweet and pop in your mouth as you chew them
We sat there till late evening and you'll see golden sands on the beach
As the sun is setting you can sense romance in the air as coupled cuddled
As sit by the shores enjoying the last moment of the day
But Malay couples too? isn't that forbidden? aiks..
The sun went down and the moon rise up thereafter
We played some games which i hated most : True Or Dare
In the middle of those eerie beach and seashore they played
I was lucky as it didn't hit me cause they sure ask something sarcastic
One of the lucky question to F i guess made S a little curious and jealous
When You Lost Your First Kiss? That was a trap -.-
Headed back to uni at 10pm as predicted
All of us smell fishy as we were at the beach for many hours
Everyone was happy and thanks to the organisers who planned so well
