Papa's toy

Lately,I started to have a new interest..CAMERA.Don't know when is it but then i now wish to own my own camera,not the usual camera,but one with more functions to play with.

DSLR is what i dream of having.But as a student,i think it is a VERY EXPENSIVE toy.So,maybe i will consider something in between compact camera and DSLR.Any recommendations?

Of course,before buying something which will cost me a bomb,as a daughter,i need to get permission from my parents (i am used to it and also just to be sure that i spend my $$ wisely).When i was talking to papa about it,he told me that he used to own a SLR (during his time,there was no digital cameras yet).I haven't seen it so i thought he must have sold it.But then he told me that it was still around in my grandmother's house.

Just now,bro remembered about it (he has the interest too) and searched for it.I don't know if he asked mum or he found it by himself..but true enough it is still around.

These are what he found...

Because it has not been used for a LONG TIME (mum said papa got it before i was even born and didn't use it at all cos he didn't know how to),so most of the things are a little dusty and there is something that melted on the parts.So,we tried to clean that melted thing but we didn't manage to do a very good job.

We were thinking of bringing them to the shop and see what can be done with it cos most of the things look so new.I wonder if they are still working.If they are then...YIPPIE! New toys for us to use when we get a DSLR.

If any of you know anything about those parts (whether they can be cleaned or what they are for or are they good or not or whether they are worth cleaning),please leave comments for me ok?

PS: The camera is still around too..

Midnight

My first time eating the curry mee at the Pekan Cina stall at midnight!


Parents and siblings have gone there before,i am the only one who didn't.So,went tonight with everyone.

The place is not at all like a coffee shop or a cafe.It is just a hawker by the roadside with tables and chairs.Today was raining but luckily there was a shade where we could sit.

There is a variety of things to add to the curry mee.We added some stuff to ours,i don't remember what they were,only know that there was cuttlefish cos that's what i had in mine.


We only had to wait a few minutes before the mee arrived.There was the steam coming out of it.Spicy,hot curry mee in the cold weather..GREAT COMBO right?So,i enjoyed every bit of it.


So...anybody who wants a nice,hot curry mee at night,when all the shops are closed,you can try this place.

*Sorry for the horrible quality photos.Forgot to bring my camera so could only take with my hp*

End

Today is the last lecture for this semester.Time really flies right?It was like yesterday when lecture started.

Anyway,i am not completely free now.I am free from lectures but i have to STUDY for my exams which is in Dec.I have started studying but..hm..let me see...i have only read the most 10 chapters out of almost 40 chapters.How do you think i am doing?

So...think i better start studying unless i want to fail and take the paper again next semester =( No,no,no...Not going to fail,going to pass in this sitting itself.Can't afford to waste not only time but also $$$.

Going to study now...Bye!

Love Paradise


You're always on my mind

All day just all the time
You're everything to me

Brightest star to let me see
You touch me in my dreams
We kiss in every scene
I pray to be with you through rain and shiny days

I'll love you till I die
Deep as sea

Wide as sky

The beauty of our love paints rainbows

Everywhere we go

Need you all my life
You're my hope
You're my pride
In your arms I find my heaven
In your eyes my sea and sky

May life be our love paradise

Panda 1

I was out buying external hard drive for my dad with mum and sis.
Just before paying,i spotted this tiny but so CUTE pendrive.
*I LOVE PANDA*
So,i got it just for the panda =P

Flying meatballs

Before i start writing anything else...i need to say this.The coffee from Nando's is super 'kau' i think.Drank that when i was having dinner and i ended up not having a good sleep until it was 8am (and i got to get up at 9.30am for class).

Ok..so the coffee-made-me-can't sleep night was on Sunday.On Monday,went to class as usual (after 2 weeks of not going).A lot of copying to do but i was okay.Time flew very fast so before i realised,it was time to go back.Dropped by at uncle's house and decided to go for dinner and movies with him.Dinner was at Gurney Drive.The food there is okay but a little pricy.

Then,the nice part.MOVIES!We watched the cloudy-something-flying-meatballs (always have problem remembering the name).Okay..it is called Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.And we chose the one in 3D.FUN FUN FUN!Imagine the most yummy food was dropping from the sky and you can choose what you want.That's incredible right?The part i LOVED the most was when it was snowing ICECREAM.Really wanted to be in the movie at that time.It will be heaven... (unfortunately,i was stuck to my seat with no icecream)

So..that's a little of what i did this week in Penang.I have only one more week before i am back in AS for a month (not holidays,but study month).I have mixed feelings about the exams now..a little looking forward to it and a little not.Anyhow,shall concentrate on preparing for them first.Better go do a little revision before going to lecture.

Dance class after a month

It has been a month since i went for my proper dance class...

I messaged the sir to ask if the class is on and it is.So,at 6.40pm,i left the house to go for the class.The people at the class was so surprised to see me and asked me where i have been.Well,i have been missing class not because i am lazy to attend but because i always end up having things to do on Thursday (grandma's birthday,dinner with relatives in SP,just back from the KL trip and once was because they canceled class).So,it is entirely my fault,right?

A month of not twisting and turning caused my waist,back and legs to ache so badly..before the class can even end.And the sir suddenly told me,to NOT move my upper part of my body,make it looks as though there is no effort put into it (natural) while i do all the twisting and turning.That was REALLY difficult but i did try and that's how i got all the body aches.

Almost the entire lesson was spent on that.Nearing the end,when i thought that that's it,the sir came to me and we danced the steps that i learnt before this.Halfway through the dance,he decided to change it..and i don't know what made him have that thought,he decided to teach me the intermediate steps.INTERMEDIATE?After i have not gone for class for A MONTH?My basics was so still so shaky...Learning the steps wasn't the hard part.It was executing them in the way he wanted it that was tough.And...i ended up getting scolded for not being able to do it =(

So,now...i think i have to start concentrating on this dance class and maybe take a break from the other one cos indirectly,without me realising,it is affecting my basics.

That's a little update on my dance class..Hopefully no more scolding next lesson cos he is scary when he is SO SERIOUS.Wish me luck..

Lazy

At the beginning of this semester..i SAID i will NOT study last minute anymore,right?

Well...what i said i will NOT do,i am doing it.I am so NOT PREPARED when i have around two months to exams,yet i don't have the mood to study.What is wrong with me?Where is that stress?Where is that push or motivation to study?Where did it go?And the bad thing is,the guilt i feel for not studying does not last long anymore.I will feel guiltyfor AWHILE.Once i am distracted,i FORGET about it and there i am,doing other things BESIDES studying.

How?What can i do to cure my laziness? =(

KL trip with sis and friend

My week started off with me being sick on Saturday.And it took me until Monday to recover as i could not eat.So was feeling dizzy.

On Monday night,Stevie came and stayed a night at my house.He was here to go KL with us (sis and me) the next day.I was so undecided whether to go or not as i was just recovering and feeling better.In the end,on Tuesday morning,i decided to pack a bag of medicine and go ahead with the trip.

Tuesday morning,had a quick breakfast and off to the airport.Papa sent us as mummy had to send bro to school.We arrived there quite early,so went and took some photos,bought some things before checking in.There was a lot of people traveling to KL that morning.The waiting area was crowded.The plane arrived on time so we could reach KL on the time we estimated also.On thing about Airasia that i like is..we can take photos with the plane (don't know if we are allowed to or not,but we did it anyway).


KL...KL...KL....Took the shuttle bus to KL Sentral and then had our breakfast at McD.I was feeling a little dizzy so ended up packing my meal.Then...it was the start of our shopping or rather window shopping and lots of walking and taking LRTs.

First stop..Berjaya Times Square.We were there quite early.So many shops were just opening.We did more of window shopping at this place cos everything looks as though we can get it from Penang.So didn't bother buying.Finished walking to whole mall in around 2 hours.That also was with lots of sitting at the bench (I did that the most as i was SO SLEEPY,couldn't sleep the night before and got to get up early).


Second stop..Pavillion.Met with my friend,FH and we decided to have lunch there.Couldn't decide where to eat as there was so many choices so we ended up at the food court which was also the same thing.I didn't order anything except bought a bottle of mineral water cos i still had my McD and i was still full.The rest did order some food and the portion is HUGE.I wonder how the people there can finish.Pavillion was nice and that was the first place we bought something.

Third and last stop for the day..Suria KLCC.We walked to the place..it was suppose to be a 15minutes walk but ended up talking longer.Either we were walking very slow or it was just more than a 15minutes walk.Anyhow,we got there...There were a lot of people at the garden and sitting near the fountain either taking photos or just relaxing.We had to take a break there..chose a nice spot and sat there.The warmth of the seat was a relaxation to the aching muscles according to sis.Stevie went shopping after a few minutes while FH,sis and me continued sitting there until the fountain was on.It was really nice to be able to sit,relax,enjoy the breeze,chat and watch people walking pass.


After that,it was meeting up with Stevie's uncle for dinner and then headed back to his house to rest for the night.Legs were aching so badly that night and of course,we had a good sleep.

Wednesday morning...His uncle gave him a car
to drive so we parked it at a LRT station and then took the LRT to MIdvalley.Got a little lost along the way,which was FUN.Haha!We had a map so before we know it,we were back on track.Midvalley..haven't been there since i came back from UKM.Because we didn't have breakfast so that was the first thing we did.Had burger at Carl's Jr.The burger is really huge (That was our breakfast + lunch + dinner),it was so filling and our mouth were aching for having to open that big to take a bite.Then,we split up and went on our own.Sis and me walked and walked and walked and finished going round the whole mall in an hour.There was another hour to kill so we decided to go round again looking for things to buy back home.Finally when it was almost time and we met Stevie,he suggested that we get perfume.And that's what we bought.There was a promotion so quite worth buying it.


The next place..the main reason we were there..The seminar at Menara Hap Seng.This one was purely based on the map and looking out for the building.We only know it based on the map and wikimapia.So..pure adventure to figure out which was to go.We didn't get lost and manage to find it reasonably easily.


After seminar...met up with FH at Petaling Street to go jalan-jalan as it was still early to go back and the next day was our last day.Walked and saw a lot of things but i don't know why i didn't feel the urge to buy anything.I was only feeling a little hungry so we had supper there.Food was as usual,big portion and it took us awhile to finish them.

It was quite late after we were done eating.The LRT we were suppose to take was closed so we took a taxi to where the car is and the headed back his uncle's house.

Last day in KL...Went to UKM to meet with my friends and also to show sis how it is like in a uni.Visited a few places which brought back memories of when i was there..the orientation,having to walk to my lectures,where i had my lunch,where i stayed.There were a few changes especially to my college.It didn't look as old as when i was there anymore.A coat of paint made a huge difference.I got to meet with my roommate and few other friends.Some were busy so didn't get to meet them.Well..planning to make another trip during their convo next year.So,will meet them that time then.

Kajang...SJ brought us to Kajang for lunch.The famous satay Kajang..I was so surprised to know that there are beef,mutton,fish and duck meat satay.I was feeling nervous about my flight so the satay tasted okay only.I would have enjoyed myself more if it wasn't my last day there.We ordered noodles too but sis and me couldn't eat that much so SJ did most of the eating.


FInally...KTM at Kajang,KL Sentral,LCCT and....back home to AS.

Stevie's uncle and his family: Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house for the two nights we were there.And also,thank for you for the wonderful dinner.

FH: Thank you for taking the trouble to come out and meet us,bring us around and listen to me complain the whole time we were walking =) Thanks for the supper.Waiting for you to plan your trip to Penang and AS so that i can belanja you.

SJ: Thanks for fetching us around and for bringing to us to Kajang.Finally we get to taste the famous satay.Sorry about the ticket...

Papa and mummy: Thank you for letting us go on this trip.It was really an experience and adventure and we really enjoyed ourselves.Um..we did pay attention during the seminar and learn something from there too.
