Forth and Back

来也匆匆, 去也匆匆......

What am I talking about? It's holiday.....so hard to believe that it's the last day at home before going back to USM again. Haiz...wonder why it seems to pass so fast, it seems that I have done nothing in the past 2 weeks....let me recall my holiday.....

The first familiar word I got to admit is hospital. Of course I am not sick. It's my grandma and mother. One is sick while another is going for follow up check up. Thank god, both are soundly healthy. Hospital had taken up 3 days of my holiday though I felt the time well spent in the hospital.

Outing? Seriously, even though I had 2 weeks holiday, the only serious outing came during early holiday, when I celebrated the birthday of beloved STEVE. Haha!! Secret Recipe!! KFC!! and Deffrey's house...nice outing indeed...

What's next? 2 days 1 night Langkawi trip. The last time I went to Langkawi was when I was standard 5. Since then, lots of things had changed there. Last time, I went by plane but this time I went by ferry via Kuala Kedah. A bouncy 2 hours trip and I stepped on Langkawi. We had out tourguide, Jin Wei's friend. We stayed at Malibest Resort. Hah, thanks a lot to him. During the 2 days, we went to Galeria Perdana, where we took photos even though it is not allowed =P. Then, it's time for a boat trip where we visited Gua Kelawar, fish rearing area and also watching eagle. Another interesting one was the cable car, which was absolutely new to me and also famous for its steepness. Lots of fun during the cable car trip, where I had the best view of Langkawi at the extended corridor only reachable by stairs in the mountain and also only supported by a big pole. At night, we only took a walk near the resort and something very interesting happened indeed. I was not going to elaborate here but it was sonehow related to we playing cards that night. In the end, I was given a very special task when I went back to USM. Haha!! We also had some alcoholic drinks that night....

The second day was a simple one. A nice breakfast at The Breakfast Bar before playing water at the nicest beach in Langkawi, Pantai Cenang. Then, we checked out and went to Underwater World, which has new attraction compared to my last visit there. The PENGUIN!! How cute, unforgettable...Then, we headed back to the jetty to take the ferry back and there ended my trip to Langkawi.

How about the most meaningful event during the holiday? Definitely it's the farewell of one of my good friend, Jia Wern...I did not even remember when was the last time I met her. However, I felt lucky that I had the last chance to meet her before she flew to Northern Ireland. I met her in the airport. The last day she stayed in Malaysia. So many people came to the airport. Just friends alone already 16 of us. Expectedly, she missed all of us and also her family member so much that she cried out so sadly in the airport. During that time, the atmosphere was so down and I guess everybody has sinking heart as well. Anyway, all the best to her in Northern Ireland!!

I guess that summed up my half meaningful holiday. Tomorrow I will be back at USM campus. I had such a mixed feeling now. I will miss everything at home, the nice bed, the nice food...and I had missed things in USM also. My friend, coursemate, all the activities...Haha, whatever, as long as I juggle my time well between family, friends and university life...I am enjoying my life every moment. I can hope for nothing more, except that......

I WANT MORE TIME FOR MY HECTIC LIFE!!!!

August track back

OH, freak!!! When I looked at my blog tracer, I only realise that how long I had not signed in into my blog. In fact, I do not have any single post in the month of August. Miss August, so sorry to you that I have somehow ignored you. It is not that I wanted to ignore you but I do not have time to cherish your life a bit...Even though I had not been seen from the blog for more than a month, nonetheless my life had been so wonderful and colourful, hah, lots of things going on actually during the whole month and I enjoy every bit of the activity =)

Actually, the life at university is not about always study to achieve perfect result. Although I had decided to take on such a tough course - chemical engineering, I had tried to flourish my life with other university activities, such as 华协之夜, 下乡团, 小草颂 and 中秋晚会.

华协之夜 signals the start of my busy August. It is the starting activity for 华协 every year. 华协 is the chinese society allowed in USM engineering campus. Basically, 华协之夜 is a night where all chinese, especially first year student gather around for some 联宜. During that night, there are quite some activities, such as performance by litlegras ( musical group ) , group ice breaking and also the hottest event of the night, the choosing of 校花 and 校草 of USM engineering campus. For that event, every school in USM engineering campus chooses a boy and a girl to represent their respective schools to compete for the award. Though my school did not win it this year, I still supported them. They had tried their best and we all knew it. Credit to ARNOLD WIRYANTO and LIM SIN YEN.

小草颂, known as litlegras, is the musical club in USM engineering campus. It consists of management team and also musical team. I, who had interest in music, of course had entered litlegras. I joined the keyboard and composer for the musical team and I joined Interaction and Event Coordinator (IEC) for the management team. All the classes for the keyboard and composer had started. Even IEC had already got the first event planned, litlegras family day. Unfortunately, the event had fallen on the wrong time, the weekend before the tests. Guess what, the attendance for the family is cruel... ToT....Credit to the chemical 2nd year student, haha, without you, this event will not be successful already. Chemical School, HOU!! HOU!! That day we really enjoy a lot and I also learnt a lot from this event. Nice!!

下乡团, yet another activity I join in USM. I have been waiting for this thing for a long time as I really would like to embark on the experience which I think would be nice, especially with small kids around and also nice people to mingle around with. Well, the real 下乡 event have not started, it was just 下乡传承营. This camp is basically about learning how to 下乡 only. And it was like about playing games, haha, a lot of group activities done, like station games and group performances. Now I have a new name, 小马子, pony, haha...Do not question me how I got this name, haha!! And I have another event to look forward to, 下乡培训营, an event organised by the USM main campus. Really looking forward towards it ^^

The update on mooncake festival will not be put inside here as the event is not yet over. However, lots of stuffs about that also, hehe, keep looking foward to it...^^
