31st of March Cloudy with light shower

The last day of March, a quarter of a year has gone and I haven't gone far from where I was last year.

I haven't learn a new dish... didn't do much guitar yet... only did one blood donation... didn't have any involvement in engineering yet... and jobless...

Well, there's no time to lose... got to study hard... work hard... learn hard... play hard... and live hard...

Mayday is coming again... regretting a lot for not going last year.... should I go this year???

The Only One

这二十年来，我知道上帝从来没有离开过我。虽然在我不如意时曾经怀疑上帝，如果上帝真的爱我那为什么要让我承受这么多痛苦，难道我祈祷得不够诚心，上帝听不见吗？不，不是的，上帝是听得见的，不管在哪里只要呼唤祂，祂都听得见。上帝的爱是无私的，不分肤色，不分语言，不分国籍，只要相信，只要呼喊祂的名字，祂无时无刻都会在身边。上帝或许不会给我们想要的，但祂一定会给我们对我们最好的。如果我们永远不经历挫折，我们永远都不会成长；如果生活永远幸福美好，又如何学会珍惜。

我现在拥有的一切都是因为上帝。
感谢主让我每天醒来都能看到灿烂的阳光。
感谢主让我爱的和爱我的人都能平安健康。
感谢主让我拥有梦想每一天都能充满希望。

小时候的味道

昨天，舅舅做了nasi lemak, 让我想起了以前曾经为 nasi lemak 疯狂的岁月。我曾经因为一部叫做“荷兰村” 的连续剧而疯狂式的爱上 nasi lemak， 就好像上了瘾一样，每个星期至少要吃两包。

记得，以前小的时候，nasi lemak 是用香蕉叶裹着的，有的裹成了长方形，有的裹成了三角形。 里面装着的料非常简单，有着一颗颗飘着浓浓椰浆香的白米饭，酥酥脆脆的花生和干鱼仔，一片片新鲜翠绿的小黄瓜，半颗全熟的水煮蛋，以及最重要的就是辣中带甜的 sambal 酱。就这样一个简单、朴实、美味的nasi lemak, 不需要华丽的包装，不需要奇特的卖点，就能融入每个人的生活。

像这种这么纯朴的nasi lemak 在市面上已经很难找到了。现在的 Nasi lemak 已经被改良成了一道华丽的餐厅佳肴，配上了curry, rendang, chicken wings, 还用了非常漂亮的盘子摆着，顿时从廉价的路边摊美食变成高级菜肴。

虽然多了许多变化，也增添了更丰富的味道，但我最怀念的还是菜市场里，一个一块钱，用香蕉叶裹的古早味。

Happy 1st Birthday

It was a year ago when we started discussing to set up a sibuans' club in Sydney. When first proposed, I thought it was just a crazy idea and nobody will gonna to take it serious. But, surprisingly, it has been a year...

Thank you guys and gals for keeping me accompanied in Sydney...

Happy Birthday to S.I.S !!!!

your fault or my fault??

如果说一样的东西，同样的情况，相似的坏法，第一次可以说是品质不好， 第二次换了一个品牌，还是一样坏了，那可说是巧合，但如果到第三个还是一样，那就应该自我检讨了吧。

我真的搞不懂自己是如何使用耳机的，不到四个月里，我用坏了三个。为什么？？？ 而且坏法还是一样的... ...

哎呀, 又四个月了，一年又过去了四分之一了...

What an experience!!!

I was studying with a friend today in Sci-tech library... and after more than two hours of hard work, we decided to get some lunch, so, we left our bags and books and other stuffs in the library and just took our purses and mobile phones with us...

So, we were happily having lunch and returned to the library after an hour... On our way back to the library, we noticed that there were lots of police cars and campus security cars... And guess what had happened??? The library was closed under emergency with guides standing at the door... Nobody was allowed to go in there, and it was no exception!!! Which means that my keys, my books and all my other stuffs were in there!!!!

I had been waiting there for two hours doing nothing, except that I read a book about toilets at tze hui's place.... Luck me to be able to get back my stuffs after two hours of waiting....

I'm really curious on what's going on in there?? Murder case??? Bombing ???
Hmmmm........

The simplest, the hardest

Among all the languages I know, I am pretty confidence with my Chinese. I am proud of being able to read and write stories, poems and articles gorgeously in Chinese. I am proud of being able to converse with people from Taiwan and China fluently and then proudly announced that I'm from Malaysia...

But, how well am I really??

I was asked to help a friend with his Chinese Pin yin Quiz, and I was so unsure about those pin yin. And for those chinese characters, I was hesitating whether there's a 撇, or a 勾, or a 横.... .... I have been so used to write chinese characters for the past 15 years, and yet now, I am so uncomfortable when dealing with the details...

When it comes to the most basic and simplest stuffs, there are more details to be considered. And those details are sometimes being neglected.

Well, I'm not much better than a Grade One....

Surveyor

Finally, I got to do fieldwork... I was standing and walking under hot burning sun today... carry this cool stuff around, well, not me carrying it, but my group mates... Good to have guys in a group.
It's really fun to play around with this "look-very-professional" equipment, which is so called automatic level and ground staff... Pretending to be the real surveyor hahaha..

That's all for today... Good night.. Really tired...

Lucky Day

We were just lucky enough to have a free tour in town hall building which is normally not opened to public. It's really gorgeous, and I like a lot... I wished so much that I would be able to have a peep in the building every time when passing by the place... Finally, I toured the building.. Hahaha....

End of Summer...

It's getting colder and colder... which means it's the end of summer holiday... and it's time to get back to Uni, although I didn't actually leave Uni during summer.

Summer was good...
I finished reading a few books, which I enjoyed a lot...
I watched a few dramas and TV shows, which I laughed a lot...
I was working on an environmental research, which I learned a lot...
I traveled quite a few places in Australia, which I experienced a lot...
I spent some time with family and friends, which I treasured a lot...

I'm definitely looking forward for the next summer... haha..

OK... No More holiday!! It's serious study now...
