365/365

#359
31st December
Found on www.liveluvcreate.com

Hello it's the last day of 2014.
Yup this is chapter 365 of 365 for the book named "My 2014".

Conclude this year, 2014 is a year which full of events and happenings.
Well, you could see that actually this is the year of graduation to all 97s, so it's not weird to see lots of farewell parties held in everywhere.
Besides that this is the year to prepare the examination which decides our future.
And after that tons of trips to here to there also made the holidays full.

Lots of people done the same thing, so as me. Although there're too much tragedies happened this year, but through these tragedies we learnt to love our family and friends even more.
Soon let's hope 2015 is a year where more good news come along and we just shake the bad news off.
"Shake it off! Shake it off!" XD

Btw today I still have another event.
Well it is a dinner gathering at the church, the same church as I went for the camp.
But let me reiterate again this is just for gathering with the friends and not for other things.
So, I hope that this dinner would make a good end for 2014.

Besides that, I still haven't find a proper job yet.
Not becuz' I dun wan to find, just becuz' I want to find the nearest one.
Moreover the chance of getting a job maybe smaller cuz' early birds will get the chance first.
And now I can't even do that as December had too much events to join.
So well, 顺其自然吧!Sure there would be a place for you to show your ability.
Salary is not the main point but working experience is even more important.
Em... Hope I could make it better la.

So anything to say anymore?
As it's the last chapter of 2014, so I hope that new hopes will be began like I'm going to restart again.
Start from zero, and become hero one day.
Hope I could make it.

Alright, 明年见!Bye Bye!
:)

Christmas Gathering

#358
29th December

Like I promised, I would write the post about the Christmas gathering with my AAY friends during the Christmas Eve.
Describing? Well, I think I reached one of my life's goals: Keep awake for 24 hours.
That's totally crazy, how could a person don't sleep for 1 day, that's like hyperactive, insomnia or what.
But truly, this is what we had done for this.
Not much of photos I took, but since it took only about 20 hours for this gathering, so I think it wouldn't be a problem to write the whole timeline lah.

24/12/2014 (Wednesday)
Thanks God it's a fine sunny day as it had been raining for a few days dy.
Well, we had a group chat for this gathering, and somehow things keep changing such as the time and venue.
Obviously time is not a problem but venue got a slightly changed.
Recently it said to be at Flamingo Hotel but just a few minutes before I went to that hotel, suddenly the venue changed to Rainbow Paradise Hotel. Fortunately it's just beside Flamingo Hotel.

The next thing is the ppl who attended this gathering.
Rmb that there are total of 17 ppl went for Kampar Trip, now this time only 13 ppl including 2 teachers, the other 11 students including me, Allan, Zheng Xuan, Zheng Er, Tan Ping, Wui Soon, Hean Zhou, Chang Yung, Samuel, Yi Yun and Melissa.
First of all, this gathering was hold by Yi Yun, of cuz' it would be stand for 2 days until Christmas, the venue you already know and the time is nearly evening.
Planned to have BBQ but scared of raining so changed to steamboat.
So very thank you to the 2 girls and 2 teachers who in charge for bringing the pots, the foods, the utensils and help us all book the room like that.

Anyway, I'm the first who reached the hotel, cuz' I really excited about this gathering :D
Reached there dy thought I could meet someone in the lobby, but I met the teachers bringing up things so I knew where is the hotel room without calling them, how lucky was that.
Soon, I met Melissa, Allan and Yi Yun.
Since there's still much time so I took some pictures around the hotel.
Oh btw we all 11 ppl fit in just one room, seriously.






Well from the above 5 pictures it is clearly shown that this room is quite large, got balcony and a small kitchen too.
And also the view of the balcony also wide enough, towards the sea and towards the street too.
I think this room might not be cheap but since we all got 13 ppl so the budget wasn't too expensive, yet it is still enough for us to sleep.
Btw this is already 超标 dy haha XP

After waited for some times, Tan Ping, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er reached the room.
Still there are left 4 ppl haven't come yet, so we 7 ppl + our teachers start taking photos.
Well the results...

Haha this type of photos were published right after taking the photos, btw the film rolls are really expensive, but thanks anyway. =)

Then, me, Tan Ping, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er went down to the beach sea sightseeing.
Still, there are much ppl there swimming, parachuting, playing water sports and games...
Well I dressed in a former way (Collar shirt, jeans and sport shoes) there's no way I could step into the water.
Except for Tan Ping playing in the water, me, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er sit down and chit chat.

After a while, around 6.15 pm like that, everyone had reached the hotel and we took tons of photos and selfies by the beach.
Well those photos didn't showed up on Facebook so I can't post them out here.
But I would keep them in my memory. :)

Next it's the time for steamboat dinner!
Went up again and prepared for it!

 大家都很忙哦!(看起来很不忙) :P

Enjoying haha! XD

Ya right after we enjoying the nice steamboat dinner, then we went down to the beach for the night games.
Hehe it's the first time for me to watch the night sea, feeling that the waves are even stronger during night, dunno why.
There are also other groups of ppl who also done the same things like us, plus some of them also having BBQ! Sad nia we all though it would be raining then... However it's because of not raining then we have the time to play games by the beach.
So the gaming part don't need to describe anymore, it must be fun, laughs and jokes.
I think this is my first time for me to do such thing, moreover with friends from different schools.

Then around 10.30 pm we went back up to the room for supper (steamboat again), picking up our own presents for exchanging.
Again went down to the beach to exchange our presents (of cuz' this needs a game).
It's nearly 12 am and we start countdown before 30 seconds to Christmas.
Eh actually there's no way we could count the time accurately becuz' different ppl have different speeds of watches.
So we don't bother about that and we keep countdown-ing until......

25/12/2014 (Thursday)
......MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Haha btw we can't actually see anyone putting fireworks but we knew that there should be other places doing it.
After that we got back to our room.
Oh then you think it's the time for sleeping? NO! Someone suggested go to Starbucks...
See!? Starbucks!!! Someone planned not to sleep for the whole night using caffeine to stand whole night.
WTH OMG this could be real. Initially I resisted to follow them but then I think back, maybe this is the chance for me to see how was the night life rite? So then I still follow them haha XD
Oh btw left teacher sleeping in the room.

11 ppl fit 2 kancils (drivers are Wui Soon and Hean Zhou), well this is going to be crazy.
Midnight streets are even emptier so I'm not sure this considered dangerous or not la.
Roaming through midnight streets maybe is the first time for everyone.
Well, 青春就是要疯狂地过才会有价值.
See, we had been went for much adventure while we were in Kampar, hiking steep rocks in Gua Tempurung and white water rafting, and now we done crazy thing again haha XP

So we reached Starbucks around 1 am.
By that time I should not taking any caffeine drinks, so I cross out coffees in my list.
I also cross out chocolates in my list becuz' of its 热量.
So I rather choose passion lemon tea la.
Then we found a table and start chit chat again.
Talk anything we want until we didn't realize that it's getting late, around 2 am like that, we left the place and back to hotel.

Manatau when we reached the hotel the parking is full and we have to park the cars outside.
Damn it!
It's gonna to be 3 am and still much ppl dun wan to sleep, keep playing games and chit chat, probably caffeine works.
But I totally beh tahan liao so fall in sleep but dunno why can't sleep T.T
Until nearly 4 am liao baru sleep.

Actually we have the plan to watch sunrise.
So I just slept for just like 1 and a half hours like that only (ppl wake up me :P)
5.45 am went out again to find a place to watch the sunrise.
We actually asked our teacher want to see or not but he just suggest which place and then fall in sleep again.
10 ppl went to that place except Tan Ping kept sleeping.

It's the time of before dawn, still not much cars on the streets yet, so we roamed through this street that street and finally we reached Tanjung Tokong 大伯公庙.
I'm not sure whether this is the place or not but follow them 就对了, moreover I also know about this place from a book, but I just can't find it where it is, now I found it, too hidden from the main road.

Actually there's also dunno what kind of heaps of rocks, dunno was naturally formed or man-made, we climbed the rocks and went to the edge of the rocks, waiting for the sunrise.
But dunno why this place looks so familiar, looks as same as the scene from a MV 《烙印》, PCGHS graduation song 2014.
Then I looked back the MV and found that this is the exact place! WTH it's hidden there we "accidentally" found it haha XD
Okay we all crazy kia sit down and waited for about 2 hours until we finally meet the first sunlight of Christmas.

 #1: Still very dark.

 #2: 偷拍 :P Got a little bit kind of 那些年 haha XP

 #3: We saw the light.

 #4

 #5: Damn too much clouds...

 #6

#7: The end...

After watching sunrise we climbed down the rocks and went for breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.
Sure everyone was tired like hell.
Back to hotel and the next thing is... SLEEP!!! zzZZ
But dunno why my energy was like charged until max, I still got the desire to bath.
But after bath I still beh tahan, also fall in sleep le haha XD
Woke up around 10 am with everyone, pack everything up and bye bye!
Hope we could meet again soon at the next gathering.

Conclusion? What had I learnt?
Well, let it be my sweet memories' list.
I would always rmb how we went through so much experiences together even though we never talk during tuition time.
Just because a single trip, then we brought up friendship which could be last longer.

At last, I would like to say...
THANK YOU!!!

Missing

#357
28th December
Found on wearemomo.com

Obviously I had been "missing" for a week, cuz' I had a lot of events previously for this year's Christmas.
Em... Totally quite different compared to past years, I celebrated Christmas with my AAY friends at Rainbow Paradise Hotel.
Btw thanks Yi Yun for holding this event, she's also the one who went for the Kampar trip.
Anyhow not all ppl attended this gathering, only 13 ppl attended it as other friends got their own things to do.
That was a whole long thing to say, I would talk about it in my next post.

The next event is the Youth Camp at a church, that's why I called I had been "missing" for a few days, but not that long, only fom 26/12 until 28/12.
Not sure why, I actually had been that place before when I was a primary student, but after I went into high school, I didn't even one time go to the church anymore.
So I think my appearance for this camp maybe is quite a surprise for some ppl.
Most of them was like "好久不见", and their reactions are still unforgettable in my memories.
Well don't talk anything about my religion, even through this camp mostly is about it, but pls I attended this camp not for it, I just need to know more about it and also fulfill my holidays.
Since then I still believe its power and truth, but I won't ever change my own principle. Get it? I'm not sure you really know what am I saying or not...
But still I think I really enjoy myself and dared to share anything during this camp, and some more I learnt a lot of new things too.
Maybe this is my growth again to prepare for 2015.

And now there's still another tragedy again.
Pls 2014, pls, let it be end quickly, let every worst things left behind, 2015 would be better for me, I hope so.
#PrayForQZ8501

That's all for what I want to say.
Bye!

Fill

#356
21st December

Em... It's going to be Christmas, initially I thought my holidays is going to be fun, it did really fun but the "blank spaces" between events are really bored.
Seriously, really bored like hell.
Or else, I should find a part-time job to fill the days, but I planned to start it on January 2015, abo I if there's any event I gonna take leave since I start working.

Anyway there's a thing for sure is I'm going to attend an event during Christmas Eve.
Well seriously it is not fully planned by myself, but still with the same group of persons who went to Kampar trip.
Get it who are the persons? Haha I think you may know about that.
Btw I think it is quite rare to see a bunch of tuition students from various schools have a gathering.
Probably becuz' of that trip I got another chance to know them more.
Now I realized that my choice to join the trip wasn't bad at all, you see, there's a surprise waiting for you.

I dunno why I really so excited for this Christmas gathering, maybe becuz' I could meet them again who went through the same experiences (I mean those crazy times during Kampar trip).
But I think it's still not enough yet, you see, I really like outings, but never tried to plan by myself becuz' I know how is my condition and I still need to concern about my parents, there's no way I should go out without informing them.
And that's how I quite difficult to learn such a simple thing...

So I think I should fill my holidays before preparing for the days of working.
Hope everything is okay ;)

And here's a picture update for Langkawi Trip, with almost everyone (cuz' got somebody didn't get into the camera...)

Haha this may considered 最强自拍!!! XD

Thanks for this trip, becuz' of this trip I learnt that:
"When you are feeling down, you just have to look around. And look, there're still lots of people who love you, care about you and always be there for you."

Happy Holidays guys! ;)
Tata!

Langkawi (Part 2)

#355
18th December

For those who missed Part 1 of my trip to Langkawi, click here.

Alright let's continue!

15/12/2014 (Monday)
Today is the day which I think is the most enjoyable.
The activity that day is the boat ride for mangrove sightseeing, monkey and eagle feeding, bat cave and crocodile cave exploring and fish farm visiting.

And again, we woke up around 6.30 am, and ready for the breakfast at the hotel again.
After breakfast we had a walk around the streets :)
By that time there were clouds over the sky and the weather was quite cool, probably rained last night.

Okay we back to hotel around 9 am and we met Erika again.
Then after that she fetched us to the jetty point at Tanjung Rhu for the boat ride.
BTW along the way to the jetty she got told us information about mangroves and some interesting places.

Reached there after some winding kampung roads.
Well actually that place is a conservation area so that's why it keep natural.
Anyway there's another Klim Jetty but we didn't go there, moreover if you got followed a tour guide, you got the chance to enter Tanjung Rhu Jetty Point, otherwise other visitors are prohibited to enter, where there is a guard need you to write borang write all details like that, by the it will took much time lah.

So after we passed the guard checkpoint, we reached the jetty point.
So here how it looks like.


After some preparation, we finally get onto the boat!
We are going for exploration, but first, let's have a group photo!

来!大家看这里!笑笑!Haha thanks Erika for helping me to take this picture. :)

After everyone including Erika prepared for the boat ride, our journey starts!
Wow I think this is my first experience for a boat tour along the river (other than the water rafting in Kampar) and across the sea.
So keep taking photos for what I had seen.


Alright, after that, we reached the first stop: Monkey feeding.
Dun need to say also know that every forest also got monkey wan lah.
But what is the difference between the monkeys from land forest and mangrove forest?
You think monkeys can't swim? Wrong! The monkeys here CAN swim!
Pandainya these monkeys, know how to climb how to swim too.

 First stop of the boat ride.

 See those monkeys are swimming? How adorable was that! :D

 Waiting for food......


Okay there's a monkey, quite big pun, swim to us and jump onto the boat to find food from us.
We gave them peanuts for it to eat.
This monkey more pandai it can even crush the skin before eat the peanuts inside.

Haha it's taking peanuts from me! =D

Then we say "Goodbye!" to those monkeys and continue for the next activity: Eagles feeding.
But dunno how to say lah, maybe got a little bit unlucky, the weather got a little bit windy so not many eagles fly out that day, just a few nia.
Anyway 能够看到老鹰 is okay le.






Not sure whether you could see them or not, but maybe they are too far away so I not actually took good pictures of them grab the foods like that.
If you want the best view you go experience it yourself lah haha XD

Next, exploring crocodile cave.
Erika said that actually there's no crocodile in the cave now, otherwise we all sure GG liao, becuz' there're like hundreds of crocodiles in that cave long time ago, where they made it as a home.

 High rocks.

 Is this nice? Well I gonna place my camera beside the boat near to the water :P

Entering the cave!

Erika continues inform us that the water level long time ago is actually very very high and it could cover the whole land now.
Now the water level decreases so much, so when the crocodiles lived in this cave, they had to climb up the cave through holes and walls so that the high tide won't effect themselves.

Out of the cave :)

The cave is actually short in distance so it won't be too dark lah.
After that we head to another cave, the bat cave.
Before that we had went through a water village, and you could find foreign cruisers there.


Pass through the water village and enter the bat cave.
Also got many tourists there, with many foreign tourists.
Whatever but this reminds me my adventure in Gua Tempurung, 有点阴影, but anyway no need to cross water no need to climb rocks like that lah, still okay bah.


Okay look at this stalactite, our Q&A with Erika starts... (Translated from Chinese to English)
Erika: Look at this stalactite, why it keep pointing outwards?
Me: (乱乱回答) Becuz' got sunlight?
Erika: Har correct! 
(I shocked for my un-thought answer XP)
Erika: But why need sunlight leh?
表哥: Got lumut (青苔)?
Erika: Yes correct. That lumut need water and sunlight, so the lumut just like dragging the stone to grow outwards, so it present a shape like this.
Everyone: Ohhhhh....

After that we enter the bat cave, 顾名思义 there are many bats live in that cave lah.
Haha the bats really many, but got a little bit smelly (forgot to bring mask)... Nearly pengsan... XD


There is a stalactite there which closed from unauthorized destroying.
The picture is down here.


Erika said if a stalactite grows 1 cm, it would takes 7-8 years!
So that's why it keep closed as many visitors had cut the stalactites or else it can't grow even deeper.


And we are so lucky to find a snake in the bat cave, and it is the most venomous snake, Viper.
Well, it cling on the cave wall and far away from us, so it is not dangerous lah.
I siao siao ask Erika does Viper eat bats, she said it is difficult cuz' bats can fly away from it mah.
Common foods for snake are rats lah.

Leaving the bat cave and continue for the boat ride to the border line of Malaysia-Thailand, but not across it of cuz, or else the marine police will catch us all XD

 Going to the border line...

Hey there's Thailand!

Now the boat is speeding up through the sea, enjoy the wind, look at the sea and islands
WOW SYIOK NYA!

After some times we reached a fish farm.
Get onto the platform and watch the person in charge lead us to feed the fishes, watch the fishes.
Of cuz' we feed the fishes which have no teeth.
Get it? Fishes with no teeth are not that dangerous lah XD


 Me feeding the fishes. =)

 Our lead feeds the stingray (Splash!!!)

 He also show us this baby shark, cute nia!

 And also this one, named horseshoe crab, in Chinese called 鲎 (Hòu).

OMG it walks on my hand very geli nia haha XP

After visiting the fish farm we went for our lunch at the nearby on-water restaurant.
The dishes are quite nice and enough portion for us.



Actually there are total of 3 dishes, but I left 1 dish forgot to take, maybe too hungry dy XP
So after lunch, we back to Tanjung Rhu jetty point.
Then I again found the map and see how long was the route is, and I think it looks like this.

Snipped and edited. (Ignore that blank space error)

But there's so much time left we have to use it enough.
So Erika fetched us to the Bird Paradise, which is also not far away from the jetty point.
Paid the tickets and enter the kingdom of birds (also same with other animals)
Eh got what type of birds I lazy to say liao, you go find out yourselves lah, I present some photos here hehe X)

 Me with the parrot.

 OMG cute duckies!!!

 Looks like fox de raccoon.

 Actually those birds are not caged and are free to move in the area, this is what really make people could get close with them.

 Aiyo 骄傲 lor this peacock XD

 Ostrich.

 Well are you actually flew from Sarawak?

 Hello again eagle :)

The next thing is some carved rocks, not sure why it can be found here becuz' got a little bit weird.
But anyway I just took the pictures of the rocks that I like haha.




OMG who wants to sit there and take a pic for commemorate? XD

There are other animals like crocodiles, rabbits and other kind of birds like that.
Like I said, I just can't put everything here, if you want to see you go explore it yourselves bah.

After visiting Bird Paradise we head to Langkawi Parade, beside there is Billion supermarket.
Same as other shopping mall, sold things like everyone seen before, there are many other shops but I maybe too sien dy so I didn't buy anything.

Back to hotel, had a shower, gather at the lobby again, have a dinner and then we shop again.
This time we go to Teow Soon Huat, one of the famous supermarkets in Kuah town.
So by then we had bought more things cuz' tomorrow is the last day liao.

After shopping, back to hotel, and again ready for the young guys' night chat.
This time with 0.1% alcohol drinks only haha XD
Not I don't want drink, just because drinks with too high level of alcohols don't fit my taste XP
So then, we ended the 3rd day in Langkawi.

16/12/2014 (Tuesday)
The last day in Langkawi... got a little bit 舍不得 leave this island.
But anyway still have to leave lah.

Today Erika won't be with us and we have to return the van around 2.30 pm.
So in the morning we didn't eat the hotel breakfast liao, just have it at a hawker centre, but very funny cuz' almost everything sold there (except drinks) are RM 5... Lol do you think this is crazy?

Alright after breakfast we head to Black Sands Beach, at the northern part of Langkawi Island.
Eh if you see the picture from Internet is actually different from what I saw.


As you can see the sands are not actually whole black, but got some only.
Saw the information board and realized that the black sands are actually becuz' of what titanium like that (Actually I lazy to read) XP

After visiting black sands beach we drove through the northern part of Langkawi to ride on the cable car.
So this is the route how we went to that place.


Probably you will ask why don't use the roads of southern part?
Haha I also don't know but Erika said use the route of northern part would be faster, maybe becuz' of the road is quite straight and no traffic light compared to the southern part.

Reached Oriental Village around 9.15 am, and walk to the cable car station.
Luckily is Tuesday and we reached there earlier so we don't need to queue up too long.



So then after we bought the tickets, walk and wait for awhile, then we enter the SkyDome, which everyone must enter before ride the cable car.
Ehh not sure what SkyDome built for what, we just sit there, look at the spherical roof and play a video of roller coaster, and make you have a feeling that you are riding it.
OMG seriously I laugh for that, we want to sit cable car liao you play this video for us to see for what? Make ppl more pening nia...
After that hilarious video we again queue up until our turn to ride on the cable car.

 OMG Looks very steep right!?

 出发咯!


 Don't look back! It's getting higher! (But I steady not afraid of it XD)

Seriously how can they even built it!?!?

Reached the middle station and enjoy the scenery first before heading to the last station.
Wow by that time the weather is still cloudy and slightly windy.
But anyway this is the perfect weather for us.


There is the last station.

After that we head to the final station.
And we also could find SkyBridge along the way there.
But too sad the bridge would be reopened next year...
But nvm lah still got chance to visit Langkawi in the future de lah.


Reached the final station and there're lots of people there.
So went up the stairs to the viewing area and start taking photos here and there.

 #1: Cable cars

 #2: Part of the view (not towards Thailand)

 #3: Selfie! XD (My best selfie ever)

#4: Looking down there... (Find this pic on my Facebook bah)
*This is also a selfie but it looks like got ppl help me to take it haha XP

 #5: Waiting for the cable car to back down to the land.

After the cable car ride we straight to Telaga Tujuh Waterfall.
WTF the road is so steep like hell, just like climb hill like that, beh tahan nya. XP
But still we managed to walk the path and reach the waterfall.
Not much water that day, maybe hadn't raining, and not quite fascinating as Lata Kinjang Waterfall in Kampar.



So the visit to Telaga Tujuh Waterfall is the last destination for our trip in Langkawi.
By then we searched through the streets for lunch but we couldn't find it.
没办法 we straight to the airport to take lunch there.
Expensive like hell... =.=|||
Haizz... we gonna wait for about 5 hours at the airport until we could board on the airplane back to Penang.
Still got a long time to wait so we all young guys went to Starbucks to drink coffees :)
BTW this is the first time I enjoy Starbucks and I shouldn't have caffeine drinks that time so I just have Chocolate cream drinks like that only.
Then we sit down and look some magazines and chat to fill the free time.

 All rubbishes... 

Wait wait wait chat chat chat until 4 pm, we check-in and we wait for our flight to Penang.
Finally it's the time to back home, really miss my bed so much haha X)


So the airplane reached the airport 5.30 pm and reached Penang International Airport 5.50 pm.
Took a booked taxi and back home.

Well we ended the trip to Langkawi with so much fun activities and full of sweet memories.
Now I could proudly oppose those who said "Langkawi 没有东西看的啦".
Langkawi got too much interesting places to visit, but you gonna search them, find them, enjoy them and experience them. 
It is such a waste if you think you just want shopping only.

That's the whole trip to Langkawi.
Hope that I got another chance to visit it next time :)

Bye!
