I have been to tomb-sweeping this weekend together with my family and relatives. I wasn't sure if I came back last year during this festival because as far as I could remember, the festive was always close to my final exam and therefore I couldn't make when it arrived.

I can't say that I'm looking forward to it since it is a day for a memorial of our ancestors or someone we loved, however, it is something that I can expect because there will be a reunion again, although it was a short one.

A man told me that he didn't thought of someone with my age would come back all the way to hometown for tomb-sweeping. What I wish to tell him is that, it doesn't matter how old or how young I am, this festive has always been important to me.

This festival is a memorial for our loved ones and I understand it back in primary school. I have a cousin who flew back all the way from NewZealand every year just for tomb-sweeping. He could missed Chinese New Year celebration each

I was wondering if I’m going to write this because I thought it would contain some offensive elements.

On second thought, why do I care so much as if everyone cares for me?  What the heck!

After so long, I just realised that it’s so hard to get a real friend.

A friend who treat you sincerely, who share their things and listen to your problems at the same time.

Most importantly, a friend who comes near you without counting any value of you and helps you without needing any reasons for doing so!

People said it’s an E-world now but I personally think it’s an M-world. M for mask.

Some people will give you sweet talks, share good things with you or even give you nice treats when they needed you.

However, these treats are gone when you are not useful anymore or when they’ve found other more useful people than you. At that time, you’re just a piece of junk.

Sometimes those talks and words could be real as and make you belie

终于上了飞机，再次离开成都。

While I was sitting at home last week watching news on TV and facebook about snow storm in UK and Europe, I never expect that I would have the chance to see snow myself during this holiday.

Accidently read the below quoted short paragraph written in my diary book in 2007.

I was a bit surprise to see it because I totally have no memory of it.

Sometimes, as we live by the time, we slowly forget how to live life and how to love.

Now, this is my new year resolution to write down every useful words or things even if it is a tiny one, just to remind myself in the future.

Here goes the passage (it is in chinese, so if you don’t understand, please google translate :p).

 

爱情…就像是一朵玫瑰。每个人的性格都会有让你不能容忍的缺点。

然而，爱护一朵玫瑰并不是努力地将它的刺拔掉！而是学习怎样不让它的刺割伤。

要是做到这一点，你就是一个懂得爱的人。

你，做到了吗？

Did a little bit cleaning in the room today. People cleaned their house before Chinese New Year but I do it after.. Because I was too busy helping others to do the cleaning. LOL!

I have this habit of collecting stuffs, you see. Not just any random stuffs but things or gifts that people gave to me.

I still have almost all my birthday presents kept nicely; some souvenirs that I am reluctant to use because I’m worried it will be lost or broken; many watches that I own since I was young; some special gifts from past-special friends which throwing away wouldn’t be nice; many many birthday cards and greeting cards; and some other minor stuffs.

I personally disagree that they are junks because every single piece of them has it’s own memory. Maybe I couldn’t remember all of them but somehow I can feel the sweetness when seeing them. :) At least I knew that someone still care for me at that moment and that I’m not alone.

Anyway, I fou

Is it lucky or what? I am having a one month break for this Chinese New Year during my final year study in UKM!!

It is like a dream came true to me because it had been 3 years that I couldn’t stay at home until Chu 9 (the Ninth day of CNY) to celebrate the most important day for all Hokkienese. :)

However, it is not so lucky as a whole as my elder sister was stuck in UK this year and my younger sister had to return to her national service camp in Kuala Nerang on the Fourth day!

It is the first time in life after 22 years that I have to embrace this festival without my elder sister here to celebrate with us! It’s not that pity though because we can still contact each other anytime through skype/facebook/msn/whatsapp…etc! LOL. Moreover I’ve done a great job for helping her to keep her angpau with money in it…hahaha… 

CNY is so special because it is the time that I can actually spend some quality time w

The year of 2011 is going end soon! It's time to review my life in this year before moving on to the next..

There's one word to describe my feelings to 2011 - it sucks!

Let me list down the few significant misfortune occassions that I've been through this year:

1. An affair occurred in the begining of the year which nearly ruined my life! I had to make the most difficult and cruel deicison ever in order to fix the problem. This rendered me no longer a member of a dance crew which was my upmost pre-loved in my University life. In other words, it means that the source of my mental support to reduce the stressfulness of my study life had vanished...

2. The most heart-breaking incident was when I was literally robbed by some bad guys that I randomly met on the street, however, it was true that my 5k was gone physically. In consequesnce of this, i had to forego my graduation trip to Europe next year.

3. Lots of you people dying around me, whic

I feel like waking up from a long dream, where all the cheers and beers are gone. The faces that I see, the language, the environment, the food and etc are totally different!! No more hundereds of motorbikes on the street, no more annoying honks and I don’t sweat like a horse during the day.

To me, Hanoi is a love-hate city. The weather and the traffic always make me feel irritated. And sometimes, I got frustrated by the local people because of the difficulty in communication. However, despite all these negative issues, the people in Vietnam are really kind and some of them are extremely nice!

Vietnamese people have really good spirit of courtliness. Even though they only pay 3000VND for the public bus (which costs around RM0.50), the young ones always let the seats to elder people. There is no any courtliness sign or announcement on the bus but they just do it naturally. Maybe they were taught in the school? So do we Ma

When I was thinking that I have to stuck in Hanoi with this kind of skin-burning or rainy weather for one month with this crazy traffic, it was really a great pleasure to get rid of the city to pull of a spontaneous trip to the middle part of Vietnam.

I was with three other friends from Poland, Germany and Kazakhstan respectively. I just knew them for less than 3 days when we begun our trip. It was all so spontaneous! I never thought that it would be so great to travel in Vietnam, I started to love with my life here. :)

Our flight landed in Da Nang. We travelled to Hoi An and we spent 3 nights there before me and Kasia left to Hue.

Later on, we went to Lang Co beach by a sleeping bus to meet up with Charis. Ellena was back to Hanoi one day earlier than us.

For the whole trip, I didn’t spend more than 5USD for the accommodation per night. The price for food was also reasonable. 

Hoi An is my favourite spot among all others. I was so in love wi
