Care

It's not really a bad thing to be concerned about your love ones and shower them with affection & care. But at times, people tend to go overboard by being unduly/excessively concerned about the people they love. This is prevalent in various relationships, be it, parents to children, bfs to gfs, teachers to students, humans to their pets and vice versa etc.

I am not demanding you to stop caring about me. I just dont want you to control whatever I am doing as it's simply a mere restriction to my freedom.It's nothing but like being locked up in a virtual cage. Imagine people telling you not to do this and not to do that when they dont even have the right to gain control over your life. Being a control freak aint a value destroying way to show how much you love someone.

A guy may care for a girl too much and got easily jealous which would lead to an unhappy ending in pursuit of the girl. A father may control everything his son does and causes retaliation from the son. A teacher may expect too much from her student which eventually demotivates the student.

It's no longer loving the person if you care about the person too much, it will just bring about hatre which results in relationships among people to deteriorate. Sometimes you dont really have to do so much to love someone as in fact they already know.:)

*Jealousy is a way of telling someone that you care for them too much to let them go*

Above is our schedule during the Gunung Angsi trip. I experienced a lot throughout the trip such as:

Carrying a huge backpack weighing around 10 KG and moving against the force of gravity as i
climbed uphill. For first timers like me, it was definitely torturing, plus I didnt go gym or exercised like my friends who went.

Using the mountain water for cooking and washing purposes. Some people  even drank it. I didnt drink though (bought 3 1.5 litres of water in my backpack)  but my group leader told me that mountain water is super nice to drink. :)

I had to pee stressfully at the bushes along the path towards the peak of Gunung Angsi. But frankly you wouldnt be peeing often as the water u drank would be excreted from your body as you perspired. For those who wanna pass motion, they would have to borrow a 'parang' and find a 'safe' spot to dig a hole.

I saw some extraordinary large ants which you could never get to see at your household, it was freaking scary.

I ate just 2 pieces of bread and i really regretted it as your body would be needing plenty of energy as you climb up the slopes

Along the journey up the peak i took extra caution to stay away from centipedes if they appear or snakes. Well too imaginative perhaps. I only managed to see ants and various flying insects. But heard a cacophony of unfathomable sounds made by many species of living things.

Had an awesome view from the peak managed to see my first sunset and sunrise moment. It was also my first time staying overnight in the mountain. Do you know that you can still sms and make calls at the peak? xD

Jumpshot at the peak

Played cards such as chor dai di and monopoly deal there as we got nothing much to do other than those experience members busy seeking means to set up a shelter  for us.

I learnt to set up my first dome with my friends and the guidance of my pro group leader. I had to sleep inside with 2 other friends

Pro group leader at the centre

I lost the mat i borrowed thus i had to sleep under a cushionless surface. It was a rare sleepless night for me.

The weather at the peak was seriously chilling. I was kinda freezing throughout the night. The midnight rain made the surroundings even colder.

The dinner cooked that night was kind of awesome. Too bad i couldnt get to eat much as everyone took as much as they could whilst i merely took one or two rounds. :( I ate with gusto after a long day and really made myself look like some beggar.

Meagre amount of food T_T

The next day we had milo and bread for breakfast. 'The milo tasted like seaweed' ----- a remark from my group mate.

As we descended from the peak, i realized i enjoyed ascending rather than going downhill. Maybe it was because of my phobic towards height. The route was also more challenging as i hardly face much problem other than tiredness when I climbed uphill. There was one point where we had to help ourselve down by clinging on the rope tied by some kind souls. My leg was shaking was i climbed down. Thankfully i mustered some courage coupled with great help by some experienced members i managed to overcome that obstacle :) Thanks guys.

The scary point

I got myself bitten by a dog too. It hurts the leader of the trip told me the dog received immunization injection prior to this so it's safe after applying alcohol and antiseptic to clean the wound.

Normally we would pray hard that it wouldnt rain. Unfortunately, God was against our prayers as we had to trek under the rain. I decided not to put on my raincoat as i couldnt find it from my huge backpack. The pathway was definitely slippery and i fell down at least 3 times. There were several times where I lost my balance. My heart was racing throughout the journey down Gunung Angsi.

One of my group mate was attacked by a leech. That was the only time where i saw leech. One of us took out a lighter to burn its body and put some salt on it after removing it from the girl's skin. Blood flowed out at the next instant from the dead leech's body. A disgusting sight.

The rain spoilt some 'camera worthy' moments as i had to protect my camera from getting wet.

I enjoyed myself throughout this Gunung Angsi expedition albeit suffering most of the times. Those are life long experience where money couldnt buy. And it was also a pleasure to meet some new friends there.

Unhealthy Day

**OMG it's nearly 10 o'clock**

My first thought when i woke up. I was supposed to have a 9 am class but it seemed that i overslept. I am that kind of person who hates to enter the class when the lesson is halfway through. And so i decided to attend the class during the break knowing that I usually have a 30 minutes break under that lecturer.







It was still early in the morning. As i had not taken my breakfast i decided to join my fren and his roommate for a sumptious MCD breakfast meal@Pyramid. I didnt expect myself for being able to join them as i was supposed to have a class going on. But my mischief overpowered my guai guai self. xD

One of the primary conditions to use the printing voucher is a minimum RM 5 puchase of food and we bought the pancake + hashbrown above which costs RM5++

The RM5 purchase and the printing vouchers entitled us to free large breakfast sets ;) It is certainly a worthwhile promotion. My stomach could last till dinner time that day.

I managed to reach class just in time ( the break was just over and our lecturer just entered) Had a fun audit class today.


Later on,
My another friend suddenly asked me out for dinner at pyramid when we were chatting in msn. She wanted to treat me a meal.

We went Wendy's

Haha. Precisely. That's another fast food outlet at Pyramid. She treated me this:

Super yummy chicken like the one sold at KFC + fries ( i didnt take any pic of the fries ).According to my friend, Wendy's is the healthiest fast food outlets. I doubted coz what i think is all fast food outlets are unhealthy. But considering the fact that she goes out more often than I do, I would just accept it :) Btw thanks alot for your yummy treat k.


Well that marks the end of my most unhealthy day of the month.

Seen this before?

Random thoughts

Think wisely people!

On one Sunday, as I walked pass Sunway tes office, there happened to be a crowd of parents and their children enquiring about financial courses like ACCA, ICAEW, CFAB etc.

And yeah I did the same 2 years ago.It wasnt an easy decision as it affects my future career path.

ACCA has turned out to be a cruel course after witnessing and experiencing the harshness of it. Imagine a marathon race, with every participant started running at the same point, but eventually, only some people were able to reach the ending point very quickly whereas some were left far behind, some were even forced to quit the race due to injury and so on. It clearly reflects life in ACCA.

I personally think that many people undermine the consequences for taking ACCA for granted. You will have 10 friends beside you in your first sem but ended up being alone in your final sem. This is no joke. You might also end up being left far behind from your friends who have successfully completed the course and you are still struggling to pass your lower level papers.

But still many people did it, I should feel proud of my friends who manage to toil the days and successfully enter their final year. Some of them even do everyone proud by winning prizes for certain papers. When i ever ask for opinions from seniors who are now working in the top companies regarding ACCA, they would say it's a stressful journey and you will have to be strong to overcome the endless hurdles that are getting into your way but still it is never impossible to reach the end point of it.

MOTIVATE yourself

Despite taking a serious attitude towards it, i wanna tell the world that ACCA is not a course for nerds. We can still enjoy our life to a certain extent that we dont neglect our studies.

MOF

On one of the days in Sunway Pyramid, my friends and I decided to step into the newly opened japanese sweets and coffee shop a.k.a MOF (Ministry of Food) This cafe originates not from Japan but Singapore.

View from the inside

The menu

I ordered this peach shake for RM 13 inclusive of the 10 percent service charge

My friend ordered this the green powder like substance is bitter to eat u have to the round thing with the spices

This one cost RM 8 for small and RM 12 for big. It is more worthwhile to order the big one since there is a huge difference between small and big.

Not too sure what those are, i just took a picture of it at the counter

the outside view of the cafe

There're many varieties of other fresh desserts i cant possibly be trying all.There is another branch @ Pavillion for your information. Here's the official website http://www.ministryoffood.com.sg/

Annual Orphanage Movie+Lunch outing

It was Valentine's Day, whilst i was in the midst of indulging myself in a bachelor and bacheleorette party, I received a call from my aunt inviting me to watch a movie with a group of orphans the next day. I accepted the invitation since I do not have much plans other than keeping myself occupied with tonnes of ACCA notes as well as homework.

This was my first time holding such a huge pile of movie tickets. I was very much taken aback when my uncle place those tickets into my custody.

There all together 35 movie tickets worth RM360. (adults+children)AWESOME!

Here are some of the orphans. Look at their excited faces knowing that they were about to catch a movie. =D

We watched The Green Hornet which premiered on the 27th Jan. It was a pretty much anticipated movie i longed for since it starred my favourite chinese artist Jay Chou. Somehow I received negative comments from my friends who had watched the movie and also came across poor reviews/ratings by professional raters.

Comments: Well to put it simple, it's downright disappointing. Jay Chou's acting skills albeit improving from time to time, he still sucks. Emotionless, poor command of English throughout the movie. But i knew he gave his best so I am still proud of him. This movie wasn't as hilarious as it has meant to be. The jokes were pretty much summed up by the 4 letter word L-A-M-E. Most of the time I was 'sweating' instead of 'lol-ing' But still some of the effects and action scenes have to be given credit. So my overall rating for the movie would be 5/10 This is just my personal opinion some people might end up viewing it as a great movie.


The movie ended at 6.00 pm. I was wondering what we were going to have for dinner. And my uncle said we'll dine in a chinese restaurants with the orphans. I heard from my uncle that the kids were tired of eating KFC not to say that they are rich it's just most people sponsored KFC to them. It's not like they could do anything about it. So I guess this would be a very much different meal for them. And so i forgot the name of this chinese restaurant. We booked 5 tables altogether.









These are the group of orphans that are no longer qualified to live in the orphanage. The managed to pursue their studies in college relying on sponsors from their benefactors. Some of them doing hotel, law etc




That's my benevolent aunt giving away angpows to the kids. It's still Chinese New Year period. Sadly I didnt receive any.

NOt forgetting me xD

According to my uncle, not all the orphans do not have parents. In fact some of them do have their own parents just that their mummy and daddy could not afford to raise them. They were resorted to send them to the orphanage so that their children will be taken care of under 2 conditions

1. They must convert their religion into becoming a Christian
2. Their parents cannot meet their children until they reach the age of 17 when the orphanage can no longer have them.

Like everyone else who got involved in this charity activity, I felt totally grateful that i have my mum and my dad with me working so hard to earn a living. Keeping them away from any disappointments is all i could do for now to repay them =D

Primary School Reunion

Nothing to do after lunch at Wazen , the venue for our gathering. I tagged along with 3 friends to Dreambox for a karaoke session. The rest of the peeps headed back home to take care of their own business.

Some of those people who attended today's gathering. Of course I missed those of you who couldnt make it. Thanks to Wei Yi for putting the effort to organize this small gathering. It has really been a while =)

A Bad Day

The first thing i did when i woke up was to look at the clock , OMG half an hour to 11am. I am supposd to go to the management office around that time to look for the certain someone to take me to the store room to get back my things taken away by the hostel management during spring cleaning

The lady at the management told me one week ago, come on saturday to get your things as the cleaner who has the key to the store room would be around. And so when I reached there, DAMN the office door was locked. I reached there at 11 am sharp. The staff promised to come back at 11.10 am as stated on a notice. I decided to wait then since i had longed for this day to retrieve my super expensive sport shoes worth RM220 i bought 2 years ago.

The staff wasnt punctual. He came at 11.20am and he was busy talking to a plumber. I went into the office along with him and decided to start talking after he settled with the plumber. And he suddenly turned to me WHY SO LATE? Before this i was already on fire as i came to the office 2 weeks ago and met this miss Carol who asked me to see Miss Helen one week later and Miss Helen was the one asked me to come on this very day.

I raised my voice a bit '' I am late? Miss Helen told me to come at 11am bla bla bla'' Then that guy said I am not saying you are late i am asking you why you dont want to say the what you want immediately? WTH that guy trying to give me some excuses? Never mind and i just nodded. He went to call that Ms Helen to make sure she really did have an appointment with me. Later Ms Helen appeared in the office and told me to wait while she contacted the cleaner. i waited and waited and i in fact starting to feel impatient. I feel like saying out my frustration with how the hostel management do things.

Then Ms Helen went off after contacting the cleaner. The cleaner arrived around 1145 and we went up to the girl's block where the store room is located. I went there guess what i saw a huge pile of rubbish those things they took away during spring cleaning. I supposed to meet up with my friends for lunch at 12 i told the kakak i go back make a call and come back later the kakak said ok. Then i went off and came back i went into the lift. Sighs this is unlucky i actually wasnt supposed to enter the girl's block lift but somehow i was deperate and entered the lift and as expected the securities stopped the lift and asked me why i explained to them but the security insisted that i couldnt enter like that it's against the rules. She straight away went to the management office and told the guy about it. The guy told me i cant enter like that and things i some how got annoyed and said the hostel management should improve on the way they do things and stopped making people wait. I thought it would be a quick business and would be settled very fast how would i know it would be such a delay.

But somehow he took me up to the store room to meet the kakak. Along the way i complained about their inefficiency and said supposed to meet at 11am but you were late. The guy of course started to defend himself by saying i dont have a business with you it's Ms Helen having business with you. It's not like i could take action on Ms Helen. Haiz after all Ms. Helen is representing the staff of the management you dumbass. He gave me his card when he listened to me complaining and asked me if you got any frustrations just email me i will look at the matter. I was so angry that I started to blurt out it's not like you would do anything or even read it. He said if that is your opinion i cant do anything lor.

I was staring at the pile of rubbish which i didnt even know where to start finding. I just gave up anyhow. That guy said thriumpantly ok ar you giving up then. Signed this document and write there i gave up finding my things. I complied silently. I burst out again of course i cant find la so many things in there and said a few more things i couldnt really remember. That guy just said this place is no more suitable for you to stay. You better go other places. This is a hostel not a hotel. This hostel is too childish for you . YOU are very mature. Ok. Does he have to say all this things to make one feel better? People cant get back their things after a long wait to go to the store room to look for my things. I starting to be impolite i said ya ya and scream at him RUDE!!.. and stormed back to my block.
