Now that’s how it tastes like..

It’s been ages since I last saw Wenz and I finally got to drag that pretty babe out last weekend. We used to do so many things together back in high school, but we rarely do soon after we went on to college. Soooooo many ‘thingss’ together, eh, Wenz? *wink*

Anyhow, despite the fact Moral final is coming up, we went out anyway (not that Moral has much to study..). Midvalley as usual, talked a lot as usual and splurging as usual too! Not that we splurge that much as we used too, but still it made me remember what “indulge” used to feel like – sinfully good. LOL.

Nothing much to write about, I’ll let the pictures do the talking. ^^ (Babe, grab the pictures as much as you like..)

 

The interior of the San Francisco Steakhouse   

The Garlic bread tasted very much different form the usual ones, in a good way.Awaiting our FOOD!! The beef steak is what the restaurant is famous for, but it is too insanely out of our budget and out of our diet too..so fish and chicken it is.. 

What does “stressed” spell in backwards? “DESSERTS”!! Bon Appetite~

Went to P-HOP (Paddington House of Pancake) after we discovered there is nothing much to shop around..(much to our surprise.)Heavenly combination of hot-&-cold….hmm~

 

They use good quality maple syrup (the ones collected from maple tree, yes, you guess it, the tree where maple leaves come from ^^) in P-HOP, so you can bet the pancakes taste real good..seriously..

That’s all of my weekend..enjoy!

With love,

Life’s a beach, everybody’s living it..

Well, today didn’t start up the way I wanted. Woken up in the morning, greeted by the cool breeze on my way to school. (My morning up to this point was preet-ty fine..) I stand before an unfamiliar elevator in Block A1, trying to get to 3rd floor. Got to classroom A10301, only to see unfamiliar faces, college mates from other courses. I sat at the corner of the room awkwardly, hoping someone I know would come to my rescue. Time ticked by, only then I noticed my phone was out of credit.great~

My moral lecturer has impaired sight and so he wasn’t moving around much, let alone mingling with his students. I started to settle down and looked around.

Then, the lecturer said, “Can someone take the attendance list (from me) and sign?” He stood there, holding the thin stack of paper, in the middle of the classroom, not moving much.

I looked around, none of the students seem to care, carrying on doing what they thought was important, talking.

Minutes went by, he was still standing there, holding the name list. He continue to ask, “Is there any graphic student in this class?”.

A student raised his hand, waved and laughed out loud to his classmates, as if he’d did something admirable. Clearly, he was making fun and taking advantage of this poor lecturer.

I couldn’t take it anymore, stood up and walked towards the lecturer. He asked if I can help him collect the signatures from my classmates and return the list to him when it’s done. Of course.

Since the rest of the class will be having an exam soon, I left the classroom, shutting the door behind me, feeling helpless and pity for the lecturer ; hatred towards the creatures of my age.

Apparently, they have ran out of life’s destiny and chose to prey on the weak and elderly by mocking at their disability. They must have a ‘bright’ future laid ahead, good to know.

Then, there comes another type of screw-ups in my life. These are the notorious creatures with incredible ability to hurt people through their words. They thought they could get away by admitting the fact that they are dissing people, well, you can screw that thought alright. Since when blogging becomes a personal thing? Blogging will never be personal if it’s accessible by others. So, if you think you can blog whatever your ‘personal’ thought that was intended to belittle people, rest assure your offence is well taken! THAT I can assure you.

Life is beautiful as it is, yet there’re always the idiotic ‘predators’ and the screw-ups to make yours miserable. The only way to take it? Just remember every bit of it, tell your grandchild of how these creatures used to roam in your college and made your college that much interesting and then laughed your butt off.

I still have faith in life, in the good in people, but for these creatures, good luck for them, they’ll need it.

Life is too short to be lingering in hatred, and so, I MOVED ON… …

Dear mates, just be the best of you, never mind what others think, none of them matters.

With realisation,

KC

Loving everything about this town~ II

Picking up form what I’d left off, here goes the second half of our first day in Melaka.

 The beautiful sunset near the parking lot of the Eye On Malaysia..

Did you know there’s a VIP cargo available for your special occasion on the ferris wheel? It costs Rm100 for 7 people.  One of my favourite shot throughout the trip..Look at Kate’s emotion.. fishy much..

Melaka night cruise..

  

The night ends when we had a night stroll in the usually-jammed-packed Jonker Street, in the cool breeze of the night, soaking in the delightful silence.

Day 2 itinerary :

Wake up real early - buzz Zin up - walk along Jonker in the morning - walk along Jonker (again) and Red House - have chicken rice balls – bathe - walk along Jonker (again, but the night market is really nice…) and grab a drink at local bar (oh no, we didn’t *wink*).

 

The one thing I love most about this town is that no matter where you go, you’ll see stores being manned by Chinese folks, not the foreign workers. They’ll tell you every takes that they know about this town, capturing your imagination, mesmerizing your thought.

     

 

Erm, guys..pretending to be cute ain’t gonna save you from the bottles put in front of you.. lol..

The night ends with the fire stunt by a street performer, beautiful and memorable..

Day 3 itinerary :

Wake up – have ‘dim sum’ for breakfast - go walk some more (serious shopping) – visit temple and Zheng Ho Museum – prepare to leave…….

The lady owner of the shop wouldn’t allow us to use chopstick for her restaurant’s famous ‘pau’, and so, welcome to the Funny Boom Boom Pau moment, people..

Shot #1 : Seng

Shot #2 : Catheng

Shot #3 : Kate

Got your idea of who’s the winner for the Funny Boom Boom Pau championship? Vote through 012-3456789, contest lasts until …

Here’s some behind the scene of how pictures are taken throughout the trip..

Two of my favourite shots!

Have you seen Shella this cute before?? I haven’t..

The second chendol of our trip, from a store in front of Red House

Taken at the entrance of the Zheng Ho museum. If I were to suggest one must-do in Melaka, I would say go to this museum. There’s a guide  leading you through it, telling you little fascinating stories and every setting in the museum is up for photography. It’s like a wonderland for history-fanatics, cam-whores and whoever in the middle. I ain’t kidding..It’s worth the ticket. And you get an AMAZING view of the whole town, only on a roof accessible through the museum.

 

Wan Ton noodle for lunch, in a rustic shop.

 

Leaving after having the third chendol of our trip. We never seem to get enough of it, neither do we of this lovely town.. Ending this travel chapter with sweet thoughts dangling and beginning of the fantasy of another trip..

“Times passes and memory stays as it is, captured at the moment you wanted time to stood still.”

- to fellow DID dudes, keep it strong ya..

With love,

KC

Here’s the half of the first day in Melaka, more to come..soon..real soon..

I'm back..for real..

Sorry, I broke my promise again for not updating my blog after the last hasty post (as if my blog has tens of thousands of fans *wink*).Dont blame me, blame the fuzzy internet connection. You must be wondering which part on Earth do I live in, until I always end up with those lousy connection. Well, I am staying in "The Land of Hacking Free Wifi". (shh, don't tell my neighbour). Incase you're wondering (again) why don't I just go to those cafes with Wifi services, well..I now hold the key to a non-existing vehicle, called "the air".. YES! I don't have a car to actually get myself around, yet~ lol

Anyhow, enough of the yada-yada.. Let's get to the point, shall we?

A lot of things have changed lately, for the better and worse.. I was lying on my bed one night, starting to doze off when my phone beeped suddenly. It was a message from a dear friend, telling me he's having a tough time with his girl. They have been together for a long time and for as far as I know, they were going strong..until the distance has taken its toll. I feel awful to hear the new, who doesn't, when they heard of a dying love..

Through the consulting and comforting (as if I was being anymore helpful to them), it kind of put my own thinking into perspectives. My own relationship is about to enter another phase. We started with the dreaded long-distance relationship, went through the toughness with him computing between Malacca and KL during weekends and now we are about to see each other daily in school. I am learning to adapt, trying to leave enough space for him and myself to catch a breather but not too much space where both of us become two complete individuals, who only hang on to an empty relationship. Achieving that is tricky and I am scared..

I am in my second semester now. This semester focuses more on theory, which means less drawing, more reading. In other words, NO FUN~ but the perk is that there are four major field trips coming up, one to Nepal, one to Tokyo, another to Istanbul abd the last one, you ready? It's Rome....R-O-M-E, ROME!! (this is the part where you leap with joy with me ~ If I can afford the 7 thousand traveling fee..sponsors,anyone??) Anyhow, I think I'll choose Istanbul..I am saving up my Rome for another time *wink wink* Or I'll choose all FOUR, in my wildest dream..lol

As for my life lately, my college is still great, my relationship is still going strong, my internet still fuzzy, my brain still messy, and I am still living in my bubble..

"blue blue blue" ooo

With love,
* KC

ps : more pictures coming soon.. ^^

yes yes YES!

Yes, I am back! Finally, it's been four months since my last blog..I meant to get back to blogging much earlier, but I kept having writer's block whenever I sat in front of the screen. Plus, my lappie broke down for quite a while, only got my replacement for a few weeks. I switched to Windows (yes, finally..), my Macintosh days are now far far away in my history..I am still getting use to the shortcuts and stuff..Feels like an idiot to ask my classmates about the simplest Windows shortcuts, like "erm....can you tell me what key should I press to cut and paste?" Fortunately, I've got my personal mentor to get me through my 'difficult' days..Now, I know "Ctrl + X" is for cutting, etc.. hehe..

Now, moving on..

Yes, I have started college, for three months.

Yes, I am studying Diploma in Interior Design at Taylor's

Yes, I am on my semester break now

Yes, I had a great semester with my classmates, 11 in total, excluding me.

Yes, you heard me, my class has 12 students, only..

Yes, I'll be starting my second semester by the end of July

Yes, college life is what I'd expected it, both in a good way and bad

Yes, I miss you guys whom I'd lost touch with..

Well, initially wanted to put in more juicy bits of my recent life to make up fro my M.I.A. in blogging but maybe next time~ ^^

Here's some pictures taken through my college life..with the incredible 11 ID-in-training!

(oppsy, maybe it's the connection,can't post any pictures, yet~ but I promise will be updating my blog more often lately. )

With love,

KC

road trip II

Me and Wenz took the KTM to Sg. Buloh station rather early in the morning to meet up with Shin Yi. Her dad was nice enough to drive us all the way to Kampar just to take a look at UTAR's campus. On our way, we watched a Viva lost control and slammed onto the roadside hill. It was horrifying to imagine the force of impact and we sort of stopped by and helped out. Both the driver and passenger got out safe, maybe with just some minor injury. We continued on with our journey.....

We reached our destination after one and a half hour. The place was so secluded, very nice of a surrounding, especially for studying. Students were riding their bikes to classes and the huge lake was reflecting the blue sky.. Still, i still hasn't make up my mind about where to study yet..Will keep on looking, but make the decision real soon~

After many ooh-ahhs during the campus visit, we crashed to Shu Yi's place. She has a preppy crib, with 4 cute doggies in it. Wish her well in everything.. Then, time for lunch. Where to? How about Ipoh Oldtown, which is 30 minutes drive away? Shin Yi's dad just said yes and there we were, having the famous white coffee and chicken soup noodle.

After lunch, time to head home. ( I bought home half a dozen of egg tarts, yummy much) We stopped by the rest station for a while and we spotted the cute JEEP in the playground. Girls couldn't help but to go candid for a while. Little did I know our hilarious action was watched by passers-by. They'd probably think we're unbelieable.. Anyhow, why care? DOn't care..haha..

The road trip ended at 6pm. End of the exciting day, much left to think about.
