I will update my blog more often...But, i think I will talk more about my family and friends.I dunno what they have been doing during holiday.So, all my friends, u better get prepared to tell me all ur holiday memories.Okla, that's all for today.

i am a very lazy person...

thunder

Me, my brother and my mother walked from modern after our dinner.When we were crossing the road, I tried to hold my brother's hand because i was quite terrified of the all the vehicles rushing by.My little bro quickly pulled away his hand from me but I managed to grip his middle finger.Didi, why are u so shy.We are sibling, right.Is it abnormal for a girl to hold her brother's hand.I dunno why I want to talk about this.LOL.I felt quite uneasy because my bro who used to stick to me seemed to distance himself from me because he was going through adolescence growth spurt.OMG, my little brother is a teenager now..

Then, I was quite scared when I kept hearing thunder and the lightning kept illuminating the sky.In the movie Accident, there was a scene showing an old man got electrocuted and become charred.It was so gruesome that I closed my eyes because I couldn't look at the scene anymore. When walking back, I was feeling uptight and I couldn't breathe easily.Mum kept consoling me and held my hand tight.My brother looked outwardly calm but inwardly, he was afraid .My hearts was pounding faster when I heard the growl of the thunder and the sky turned bright in split second.I really scared that i will get hit by the lightning like what happened to a boy few weeks ago when he was at the basketball court.My pace was getting quicker until finally, I reached home.This was quite a scary experience and i realised one thing about me: I am KIASI.

Try out nasi kandar.Now only I know how nasi kandar looks like.Very spicy.I don't like.My another first time.

My shortest post ever..

Halloween's day

I wanna post more about my friends and my recent outing with them.Looking back at the picture taken with them makes me realise that how stupid I am for being too caught up with studying until I refrain myself from hanging out with them.Now, I wish I can get back to the past and hang out with them more because we might not be able to hang out together after SPM
Me, elaine, lian fen and shu wen metat baskin robbin on 31st of november because we got to eat the ice cream at cheaper price.Shu wen said that the ice cream was too sweet.This was actually my second time here.I shared a pint of ice cream with my family the first time I was here.i know I sounded cheapskate but RM 17 plus for a pint of ice cream was extravagant.I can have a decent meal at kenny roger with this amount of money. As always, me and shu wen.SW was the cutest friend I ever have.
Shu Wen and Lian Fen.Lian Fen likes citrus type of ice cream and most of the flavour that she choose was quite sour but a bit sweet.She told me lots of things today.She gonna go to college soon.However, we can keep in touch always because we live quite near to each other.When I get my driving license, the first thing I will do is to drive to her house and we will go for movie together.I wanna talk more about my friends..I realise that I crap too much about myself..This is the norm of life.People tend to be self centred.They will put themself ahead of everyone else.Same thing happens in a conversation.Sometimes , we are not really listening to each other.WE often treat communication as a race.It seems that no one was really listening to each other, instead they were taking turns not listening to one another.They will be competiting for the air time so that they can talk about their glory, their bad experiences, and so on.People tend to remember the thing that they say instead of the things that their friends and family say.I am quite cynical of saying these.I encounter this problem with my friend.We always fight for our chance to talk and we always try to make our airtime more interesting.I am cynical la...Aiyo.I will try to change, just like someone who tells me that she try to change but I never see any changes in her behaviour.She is still the same, rude and ignorant.This is just my negative perspective towards certain matter.I am also this type of girl who wanna be centre of attention and I dun really listen to others sometimes..I just wanna talk about me, me and me. and I expect everyone to listen..But , this is just not the way.I know that if we want someone to listen to us and understand us, we must firsly listen intently to them and try our best to understand them.I think I gonna talk more about my friends in the next few posts. Green tea ice cream
Happy Halloweeennnnnnn..

Shu wen's bd

On 29th October 2009, I asked sw whether she will celebrate her birthday with her family..She answered me in disdain 'my family dun hing this type of thing'...Hing means they dun do all these celebrations.Besides, I remembered that there is a teacher saying that she wants to eat cake on that particular day.Therefore, that day, I called my parents to ask them to bring my bottle which I really left at home and a cake.I asked quite a lot of people to share to buy the cake.However , the cake was not like what I expected.It looked kinda traditional and it was quite oily.
Birthday gal with two guys.Lol...We are all ex classmates.

Two of my favourite friends.Friends that I will never forget and I will always cherish them, love them.I hope you will read this post.I just want to say I really appreciate both of you.I hope 20 years later, we still can have gathering and outing together.LOL.I am quite emotional type of person, I must admit.
Shu wen, Jing Wen, Jeanette and Hwei Teing...Female version of F4.Dun ask me to erase this.

I always want to post about shu wen birthday.This is my oppurtunity to show all my best friends that I will never forget.

I read quite many people's blog nowadays, especially of those ex starians.I wondered what have been going on with their life after they complete their form 5.They have a very good social circle.They always take pictures with their friends and post them in their blog.Reading their blog makes me feel that I am quite lonely.Nevertheless, I have friends that I really appreciate and I hope that this thread of friendship will not break forever.

A lot of things have happened lately.I felt quite overwhelmed by everything that has occured lately...Pardon my english..I didn't read storybooks lately and I forgot how to compose a good essay.The words just can't form in my head..I wanna cheer ,yself up by posting all these pictures of of my favourite grandnephew, Ah Zhen(my cousin's grandson)I think I have written in my blog saying that my this particular cousin has 8 grandchildren and both of my cousin's daughter in law are pregnant.So, next year, it will total up 10 children.I am very close with all of the children.Last Thursday, I went back to my kampong and stay at there for 2 days.I have fostered a very close relationship with all the children throughout the two days.





I asked him to camwhore.He agreed to do all these cute pose because he will get to take picture using my hp..All the children there love taking picture using my hp.He is so handsome, cute, sweet, indescribable.I love him the most among all the children.Sorry if I never elaborate much..I got too many posts to update and I have spent a lot of time reading other people's blog.I also reread my posts because i dun wanna forget all the happiness in my life.I kept checking the poll and it has been increasing quite rapidly for the past one week.Just in one week the poll increases from 1604 to 1660 without me rereading my blog.I recorded it down cause I wanna know how many people actually click in to my blog.They might be entering my blog so that they will be able to link to my friends.I dunnola....i really dunno who has been reading my blog but for those who is reading it(my friends), I hope you enjoy it..I gonna update my blog consistently.

cousin's wedding

I just attended my cousin's wedding..It's quite obvious my forth uncle's daughters in law were all beautiful..I was pretty happy today cause I got to eat the yummiest food ever..I devoured 2 shark fin's soup..I know that the shark fin was fake because nowadays not many people can afford hundreds of bowl of genuine shark fin.Let's jump to the point..I won't dilly dallying around..

My dad was the 8th uncle in Liau family...There was a table specially reserved for us but my family members only totalled up to 4 persons only because my sis and bro were not around..All my other uncles have more family members which included their children which were obviously quite big and their grandchildren which was uncountable.


My parents..They treated me like a princess..I was very very very close to them..I talked more and spent more time with my parents compared to my best friends..They were my life to be more exact.


My cousin's daughters..They we redamn cute!!They loved clinging to me since my fifth uncle's son wedding last month.Ever since, whenever we attended family's party or wedding, we were always stick to each other..Children is so adorable!



Look at the guy behind me..wasn't he cute.I think he was the cutest cousin ever..I kept wanting to take picture ever since I saw him for the first time a few years back during chinese new year..He has this cute and innocent facial expression which I can't help but falling for his look..His look nia ar..he was just so cute..I was on cloud nine that day.I got to take picture with someone I really wanna take pic with..Another wish fullfilled..

Went makan vegetarian with parents..That's not the point.When we walked to the pasar pagi, we happened to bound into a man without legs.He was singing oldies to seek sympathy and donations from the public..This was our conversation.

Me:The man without legs is so kolian
Dad:Yea
Me:Imagine I am like him, got no legs

Dad gesticulated to me indicating that I should shut my bloody mouth
Honestly la, imagine I don't have leg, I can't walk to places I love to be in, I can't do my work as usual and I can't carry on with my life..Seeing him makes me feel bad about myself..I always think I am unfortunate and everything is not fair..The truth is, sometimes, we just have accept life for what it is...When we constantly think that we are very unlucky, there is much more people who is more unfortunate compared to us..I saw this little present in tesco one day, it was an ornament written 'count your blessings, not your worries'.

snails

Just now I went walking with my dad at tmn chi liung park, we saw two snails crawling slowly and steadily.They were quite cute in the sense that after we walked for a few a round, they have just moved a one or two feet...We walked for 5 rounds and the snails still couldn't finish their 5 feet journey...It's ok to be slow, as long as we complete the journey..

I saw many mynahs gathering and playing on the field at chi liung's park today..It's great to see such a beautiful scenery..

I watched Poker King with daddy and little brother.Lil bro skipped school so we pakat together to go watch this movie which I have been looking forward.The movie was not bad la considering Louis Koo acted in it.I always have a great affinity towards Louis.Although he was already quite old, he was still so good looking and cool.I become hiau over him only..I have been watching his past few movies in this year, Accident, Ling Ling Kao, Jia You Xi Shi 09.I just love him!! There were few celebrities I truly admired and he was one of them.




After watching that movie, me and my dad have a new favourite pastime, playing poker card!It was quite a fun poker game.For those who go to casino often or watch the movie, then you will know how the game looks like.Okla, just wanna say the poker card game is a hit.I really enjoy playing it.

Petition

Wondering what is this??Why everyone's has their signature on this paper.


It was actually the petition signed by everyone in my class to support the collage of Patrick Star created by a form 1 student..Those who signed were telling that they honestly like this piece of art and they love and adore Patrick Star..

Wee Jin, the smartest boy in my school actually signed this kinda stupid petition..Gosh, anyone wanna imitate his signature for evil purposes can come here..

pasta

Mum said sis went to pasta house for halloween...Pasta??!! what she mean is actually pastor but she pronounce it as pasta..lol

I gonna post a long story about shu wen's birthday..Ok, Hwei Teing said that octopus that the restaurant served during wedding was appetising..Baby Octopus, a squishy, elastic, whole body octopus.
Okla, just wanna post this picture, FOR FUN!Happy Halloween's Day!!

I love this scenery..Sekinchan, my haven..
The paddy field is beautiful!

I have to admit I am a loner..I don't really like socialising and being in a large crowds..This is quite obvious because most of my blog posts are not about friend's gathering but more on me as an individual who loves nature, solitude and most importantly, family...I will always be family baby girl!!

Nice article

Green Champion

BY IAN BEH

Vibrant, fun and passionate are some of the words used to describe Bernadette Joeman.

Bernadette, or ‘Benn’ as she is fondly known, is the environmental education programme coordinator of the Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) in Sepilok.

“At an early age, I really liked the environment. I dreamt of being involved in a job related to it when I grew up,” said Benn, 40.

It was however not the most conventional of ambitions. Local universities did not offer degrees in environmental education, and Benn’s best option then was to study something related to nature.“I had to a get a degree in Zoology first, then specialise in ‘conservation and ecological biology ‘.

Benn was so determined to achieve her dream that she was not daunted even when her application to study zoology was rejected twice.

“I had to apply three times for the Zoology course at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). My application was not successful the first two times. When I put in my application for the third time, I went to see the dean of the faculty of life sciences there and asked him to give me a chance. I got it!”

After she graduated, Benn applied for the position of Environmental Education Programme Programme at the fledgling Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) in Sepilok. She started out as a volunteer for five months before finally landing the job in 1997.

“I did not know what to expect from the job,” she says. “But I went into it with an open mind. I was told that it involved teaching and interacting with many people. It sounded like fun to me. More importantly, it was a job related to the environment. I knew I would love it.”

Benn oversees RDC’s education programme. She plans educational activities and runs them with her dedicated team. Besides that, Benn inspects the educational facilities to make sure they are in ‘tip-top’ condition.

“Everything has to be perfect, I feel a person must always give their 100 percent in everything they do. They have to put their heart and soul into their work and be passionate about it. Only then something can be done well.”

“I never find any of the environmental education programmes dull! People ask me, ‘Benn, you do these courses week after week, don’t you feel bored?’ I say no. Each course is attended by different people with different opinions,” she says. “I always believe it is a challenge to educate any individual on the environment, regardless of their background. There is always an opportunity to educate.”

Benn believes a good educator is one who is able to hold the attention of his audience. To achieve this, she says the educator has to be enthusiastic. “If I am not enthusiastic when I present, how can I expect my class to be enthusiastic as well? It is impossible, the class will not come alive at all. I try my best to be as enthusiastic as possible every time.”

Through her environmental education programmes, Benn has reached out to people from all walks of life. Executives, professors, teachers, students, you name it!

She has fond memories of a course she did for a group of disabled children.

“We had to get their attention. It was a huge challenge for the team. We had to wade into the pond with them and help them sense and feel the rainforest. That really was a lot of fun!”

Benn feels environmental education in schools can be improved. The RDC runs courses for primary and secondary school teachers. These programmes aim to expose the teachers to the rainforest and give them a unique experience outside the classroom.

“I hope with all my heart that the teachers manage to discover new ways of teaching their students about the rainforest. It would be great for the environment if every bit of their newfound passion is transferred to their students.”

The biggest challenge for Benn is changing people’s attitude towards the environment.

“Changing mind sets is very important, but difficult. at the same time. People need the right attitude to care and be concerned about the environment. Many people do not care, especially when being green is not as convenient as polluting. They have to understand they can contribute to a better and cleaner place to live in. I feel great joy when I succeed in influencing a person to do their bit for the environment, ”

Benn hopes to do some research to investigate more effective ways to get people to love and care for the environment.

“It is something I really want to do,” she says. “I want to know whether what I have been doing has really been effective, and improve our current education methods.”

And we can be sure she will be whole-hearted in this pursuit too.

Ethan Ruan and Cheryl Yang

Dad brought me to Sunway Pyramid to see the casts from Queen of No Marriage, Ethan Ruan and Cheryl Yang.My response was "jump with joy and get overly excited on seeing them"



I was waiting for them.There was a tall auntie standing in front of me.I wanna kick her away because she was blocking the view.Whenever she motioned to the right, I will move to the left for better view and when she motioned to her left , I will press on my heels and move to the right.I waited for 45 minutes for ethan and cheryl.When they reached, there was this crazy fan behind me pushed me so that she can take picture of them.Then, she shouted with her flirtiest voice to get attention from ethan.After that, she pressed on me hard by towering over me just to get a shot of the celebrities.She practically went berserk for the celebrities.Me, on the other hand, was less crazy over ethan and cheryl.I won't go insane over them la..I kept telling her to stop pushing but she ignored me.What to do??This is the real world.We have to face all these situation when we really go out to work one day.Everyone is selfish.I never see anyone who do something for others.They claimed to be helping others but they just want to make themselves feel better and more respectable..They are doing all these good deeds for themselves..There is an exception and it is our parents....Cut the crap..I always went out of topic. It was not clear cause my phone was lousy.Cheryl was so beautiful.Ethan looked okay being bald.They were cute together.
I saw Ethan whispered something to Cheryl.I couldn't help wondering what they conversing about...Maybe they laughed at the crazy fan behind me who shouted like monkey and pushing everyone who blocked her way.
I kept holding my red bag up to get their attention so that they will select me to go up the stage and play games with them.Too bad, my effort was wasted.I jumped up and down and I even considered of throwing my bag upwards.However, I retreated because I was too SHY.................SHY??




My sole went numb because I kept pressing on my heels to get a better view of ethan and cheryl.This was another con of being short.However, I was happy because I got to see them in reality at last after seeing 19 hours of them fighting and flirting and kissing and talking in the drama.The real them, standing before me!Gosh..It was like good dream come true.I was not crazy about them...I asked a few of my friends to join me but they were not free..It was understandable because now is the tension period.

I just attended my cousin's wedding buffet dinner.Just wanna post this pic..All the children are my relatives.They are my cousins' kids.

New dream

I have been searching a lot about careers and colleges and university.I have made up my mind what I wanna be one day.It was my passion and I will never give up on it eventhough the salary was not high.I love children, animals, active activity and shopping and this job gives me the opportunities to embrace all these.This career required me to go back to form 6 because zoology course is only provided by local uni.Needless to say, I didn't even bother to study now because I am going back to form 6 no matter what.Unless miracle really transpire which is dad decides to send me to college to study psychology.It's funny right..Someone who go to psychiatrist want to be a psychiatrist.There are reasons..I know how it feels to be mentally ill and to be in depressed situation.I understand the feeling so I really want to help people troubled by mental illnesses...I am still in dilemma now.

I have been really lazy for the past weeks.I told mum that I can't concentrate on my study because I keep thinking what's the point of studying if my average result won't bring any effect to me..Mum said this sentence 'no pain, no gain'.Her words make me feel worse although she was trying to motivate me.I didn't pay any effort for the past weeks.Now, I regret a bit yet I don't feel apologetic about it.I am having the time of my life doing things I have been putting aside due to studying for the last few years.

Back to the career topic. I am adamant with my decision on taking zoology course because this is really I want.I pray hard now so that I can achieve my ambition....lol.If I can't get zoology course, I will opt for forestry..There are many more branch to these two major courses and i am going to specialise in one of them....Everyone should have ambition now..lol.I have been asking my friends what they want to be one day and some of them have made up their mind and some of them are still in doubt.I crap a lot la..Once I start writing, I will never stop because there is always plenty to tell.

Shu Wen wanna be a nurse or do crafts but her parents will definitely take a stand against her..They want her to pursue business like her brother.I hope she will be what she want to be one day..My other friends wanna pursue accountancy.Okla, that's all for now...

I went back kampong every weekend.Whenever I was there, I was filled with utmost happiness because I got to see all the children I truly adored.They were cute, exuberant and fun to be with.Today, I gonna post a few pictures of the girls out of 9 children.I used to call them baby but now I guess I have to change it to children because they have grow rapidly for past few years and I proudly declare that I watch them grow up one by one!!They are my precious little baby, always and forever!
I can't remember her name.Among all the kids, she was the quietest and the shyest.She always cling to her mum so I seldom get the chance to hold her.
The most mischievous girl...She can beat you up teruk teruk if u offend her.However, she was the cutest baby I ever seen.She will grow up to be a very beautiful and attractive lady.
My favourite baby...Initially, she was shy and introverted.However, when I really communicate and play with her, she will soften and play with me..What I really need is a lot of effort and patience to bond with her.I gonna blog a lot today because my headache is restraining me from doing anything tedious.


I won't do anything tedious although I was perfectly healthy..I couldn't concentrate in my studies.Whenever I wanna study, I will find some other activities more interesting and I will resume with my tv, playing with my pet, makan out, shopping, exercising and many more...

Not many people know that I go walking with my dad at Tmn Rakyat almost every day..I practice qi gong with daddy too cause he want me to gain back my health.Besides, I do other activities too ...I know that now is not the time to worry about my health but I am this health conscious girl that is afraid of getting illness at old age like most of her relatives who succumbed to cancer and heart attack.I don't want to rely entirely on medicine one day and pay thousands for them.So, I must take care of my health from now on.My diet or food preference is still quite unhealthy but I am trying to change..I talk a lot about my health and well being with my dad.I always assure him that I am healthy so that he won't keep worrying about me..

Kow Wong Yeh

First time here...I live in Klang, man..


Free Counter

I just came back from Kow Wong Yeh temple and I am having a severe headache now.I was curious about Kow Wong Yeh.Shu wen told me that she saw Zhi Kiat, Wei Han, Tiong, Kei Vin at the temple when she went there last week.What drives me there was not because of them but I was curious of what shu wen meant about their statue.They don't have a statue!!Lol...When I went there to pray, I kept looking and looking to see whether there was any special symbol whats over.What I saw was a wooden plate with some chinese writing.I don't get what shu wen said earlier and now I think I got what she mean.


I went there to pray for my health and my family well being.I must admit my health was not so good for the last few months.I got two injections and I visited doctor a few times and I went to general hospital a few times too.Lol.This has excluded a few visits to specialist.Besides, I also pray for my sister.Hope her problems will be solved soon.I was not so superstitious but I was not ignorant towards all these deities and gods.Okla, that's all for today!

quite a beautiful temple!

Dad brought us to sushi zanmai.I heard a lot of people said that sushi zanmai's dish are nicer compared to other sushi restaurant.





Now, I wanna comment about it.The green tea here is nicer and more aromatic.The rice is rounder and the taste of vinegar is stronger.However, the ketchup here is too salty and the egg here sucks.The salmon is not 'hanyir' but at the same time it is tasteless.The pickled ginger here is too spicy in which I found it unappealing. I am not a food critic but this is my opinion about the sushi here.Compared to sakae sushi, I think both are equally good or equally average to be more exact.I felt sad about my brother comments on form 6 today so I wanna bitch about sushi since I have nothing else to bitch about.LOL.I will keep trying to reduce my grammar errors so that this post is more readable and less trashable.

I read lots of people blog and finally I get to know that what usually people blog about.

I wanna write about this new pair of shoes I bought recently.I seldom blog about my purchase on something so this time I won't budge in boasting to everyone about my latest purchase on my shopping spree at sunway.I know most people dun like seeing others camwhore and showing off their stuffs but I have to admit.......I love showing off...Here it goes




I totally love this shoes.I gonna pair it up with the dress my mum bought for me recently(showing off) again.I must admit I am very fortunate to have such a generous parents who just buy anything that I want(showing off again) and try to fullfill everything that I want.
This is gladiator if some of my friends dunno.In the shop, I tried this shoes and I ran and jumped with it before I made my decision.I dun wanna have sore leg anymore like those past experiences.My recent posts have been quite negative so I wanna chill up and write more positive post

I was addicted to this show nowadays..There was once I felt emotional for no reason(pms), I watched the first episode of Queen of No Marriage and then I was gripped...I must admit I like the main character, Ethan Ruan although some of my friends claimed that he was not good looking and he was arrogant.However, I couldn't help admiring his undoubtedly splendid acting skills and confidence.


I have watched so many episodes of Queen of no Marriage for the past few days that I totally neglected my blog...LOL..I never regret watching it because I lose my temper towards my dad lesser and cry lesser.I know I sound emotional..The thing is I have became this not so confident person anymore..I kept thinking of negative stuffs and i felt scared of my thoughts.My mum said that it might be because of the camp I joined last few months.She felt that after I returned from the camp, I have altered to this scaredy cat and anxious person...I dunno what's wrong with me..haha..

However, after watching this show, I have become a more confident person...The character taught me to fight till the end for my happiness.I dunno a drama can lay such an impact on me.lol.

Best Annual Dinner

Yesterday Librarian Annual Lunch, A Night to Remember is the best one I ever attended.Okla, I only attended twice and this time I feel really great...I dunno how to elaborate much about cause I didn't take any pic with my phone...I will update about it soon...I wanna thank this particular teacher for being so good to me.She helped me when I was in my darkest moment..When I felt dizzy during exam, she was the one who helped me go through the incident.When I was dawned with illness, she was the one who give me support and take care of me..I really thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, although I used to dislike u...My bad perception towards you is totally wrong..I am glad that I meet u, teacher!!

Mango Terror

Last Sat, I helped dad to pluck mango using a broom.It's kinda fun and It's my first time plucking mango...Then, I have just eaten a mango filled with white worms which I didn't even notice at the first place.I chewed half of the mango before I realised there were worms crawling in in the mango..Now, I feel nausea and disgusted...I just wanna forget about it..lol

Don't cry over a one over seventh spilled milk!

Dad, I miss you so much!!You just went for one day!!I am damn sentimental....

Everything falls into places!!!Thanks mummy!!I love your childhood!!Happy Lantern's Festival!!

I know i am paying more attention to blogging than other activity but I can't resist the temptation to update what's happening around me.I think this is how I connect to a few of my friends because my fraternizing skills is lousy and I prefer jotting down what's on my mind than saying it out loud.
This is about my second quite luxurious food trip to Sakae Sushi



This is my second time here.It's kinda expensive so me and my family don't dare to order too much.I fancy the unique yet quite mundane decoration here.I like the furry light hanging at the middle of the table.I like sparse seating and the trademark of this restaurant, the big green frog

The ginger pickle.My family wallop 2 whole cups of ginger.It's very yummy and is a good appetiser.We mix them with sushi and wasabi and the outcome is delicious.

This is the best food trip I ever have.I tried unagi, soft crab meat sushi for the 1st time.Okla, there is nothing much I can elaborate about this trip.I blog now because I really have no mood to study.Everyone might be quite irritated about me relating on and on about studying.Frankly, I dunno what a normal average quiet ex top now not so intelligent student should be worrying now other than her/his study and academic result.Nites..

ugly duckling

Went back kampong today, again.Saw these cute yet ugly ducks.
Kinda like them....I hope they won't be eaten!
