Merdeka Eve Splash !!!

Starting here without any further talks, you all know well, i've for sure attended my classes at KL. Every Saturday journey. ive gone through a different stories and different experiences with types of feeling. Although is a tired journey but the experiences you get is priceless. Now, let me start today's journey! Today's post for me is excited because it is a really hard journey. Later you would know why!

Early in the morning, as usual wake up at 5.30 am and get myself prepare for the 7am bus. And so repeation of activities every Saturday. Today the thunder had shout my mother to remind me to bring jacket together with me in case i get cold. Listen to her and bring it. Waiting the bus to come and so me and my coursemate hop on the bus. The weather is quite dark and we thought it might will be raining while more. But we was wrong. The air cond in the bus today was just nice and makes me feel sleepy. Both of us didn't talk much and went to sleep fast. Around 9am we finally reach Pudu bus station and so we our Saturday routine we would get our breakfast. Reaching a mamak stall (indian-muslim stall) and order our needs. Although im saying is mamak stall but the boss over there was purely Chinese. Haha. It was the food they selling was like the mamak stall. After eating, we walk to the college and listen to our lecture.

Now, the interesting part is the time before we take our bus home, Melaka. Asking me why so excited? Hahaha...you would know after continue reading this.

We, after class at 1pm we went to a shopping centre nearby which name Kota Raya. As we shopping, we search for food to fulfill our hungry stomach. Saw Uncle John cafe but my stomach told us that it not so fancy about the food there right now. Haha. So we went floor by floor to search whether there are any others restaurant or food court. At 2nd floor, we saw a chinese cuisine restaurant which is the name of the shop written as Xi Men Ding Restaurant (Xi Men Ding is one of the popular place for tourist in Taiwan). The food pictures hanging on the wall attracts us and our stomach playing drum even louder. Hehe. And so we decided to stop here to have our lunch. I've ordered set of Stew Pork Rice.

This is the stew pork rice with jelly and a cup of coffee.

I didn't feel regret after ordering this set because it was just nice to suit my taste. Nice! Oh ya! There is a jelly which i forgot to include in the picture. Now here is the picture of the jelly!

While we was enjoying our lunch i saw a couple taking umbrella walk in. My guess! Outside for sure is raining and told my coursemate about it. Well, she was too busy to listen to me because she is talking the phone since the food arrive at our table. Doesn't she know we need to eat fast and rush to the bus station? She still could take her own sweet time eating the rice. Imagine her right hand is taking the phone and the left hand taking the spoon. Is she able to eat by doing that? Right? Me getting a bit furious and kep rushing her to eat fast. I wasn't mean to do that to her but we are rushing for the bus at 3pm and imagine when i was rushing her the time is already 2.30pm. So i bet you all would do the same thing as me. Before out the building, i went to the toilet. I saw the outside window and indeed it is raining heavily. That time, i was thinking 'Oh shit! Our shirt and pants sure wet!' We thought of running but there pack of people. Hard for us to run. So we walk fast and saw 7-eleven. Ah-Ha!!! i thought our saver is here. So i went inside to buy umbrella and probably find a big one. Lot of people went inside looking for umbrella too. And guess what! I was lucky enough because the one i took is one and the only one umbrella left at the umbrella corner. Haha! But i didn't stay long because the time doesn't allow me which the bus won't wait for you if you are late. So we walk again but now with the small pink umbrella. This umbrella would only to cover our head but not our legs. It is a bit outrageous when i say this. The road was full of rain water. That's was ok? Well, not i think. Normally if the road full of rain water would just only flow slow and not much water. But THIS!!! Simply outrageous. It was just like a small river flowing to our feet. The water level is till to our ankle. So imagine it! I still make jokes to my coursemate saying that we can treated this time we were walking beside the beach as the water had cover our shoes. And she laughed. Thanks God! We could reach the bus station safely. We guess the bus should had arrive and we would be very happy to get in the bus fast. So i went to see our bus plate number and where the bus parking place for us hop on the bus. And you know what!! The bus is opposite the Pudu bus station where the bus parking beside a hotel name Citin. We had to go out again to the rainy,windy and watery road?? Oh holy shit! Well, no choice but to walk. So we hop on the bus. The bus saying that it was double decker. The name nice? But the sit not. It was damn small sitting space. Can't even stretch my hand out so turn around would be a no.

Taken in the bus where outside still raining heavily

Pants, bag, jacket and hair were all wet but yet i could still doze off. I was pretty damn tired. Around 5.20pm finally i reach bus station. Reaching safely and took town bus back home.

Now, i know you all would lot of the why symbol in your head, why i put the title as 'Merdeka Eve Splash !!!'? Right? Well, i tell you why.Today(Saturday) is 30th August 2008. As for Malaysian the Merdeka Day (Independence Day) is on 31st August 2008. So i put as Merdeka Eve. As for the 'splash' is because the rain that 'splash' on us. It seem giving us a 'good celebration' of Merdeka Eve. Haha. So now i gave you my answer. Hehe.. ^-^

Alrite alrite! Before i make a stop, allow me to wish each and all the Malaysian Happy 51st Merdeka Day. I was damn tired now. Going to play chess again with my sleeping angel. Good nite everyone~~

Tired & sleepy,
Maye

I know after her training we would see her again. Haha. But today merely we all just wanna had some small gathering as we quite some time didn't do so.

We went to Hang Tuah Pizza Hut. It is already open few months ago (i think) but yet most of us not yet dine in before. So we decided to eat our dinner there and of cos took some pictures. Haha.

Tye (my 'Saturday' companion ^^), Me & Christine

After our order we stole some time taking pictures while waiting for the food to come. Finally, our food arrive.

One people one plate of pizza......U believe it?

Yup, that is our order. One people one plate of pizza? Well, yea!! haha. My stomach now is just like the pregnant lady. Well, all my keep fit hard work had destroy because of this PIZZA. Tomorrow onwards got to back to my keep fit plan. Oh shit! After our dinner, of cos still have time for us to go shopping for a while. But now was just left me and my other coursemate only. The other two have their own activities after the dinner. One went for badminton and the other one went for company dinner. She still can eat at the company dinner? Oh...i know she can. Definitely can. Haha. If she reading this blog, she gonna kill me for sure. hahahaha....

Shopping time is short. But i manage to test 3 shirts. But only one i fancy, other was just so-so. so i bought it. Beside that, bought eye liner. Talking about eye liner, me wanna share some jokes here. This morning i was doing make up on my face. And so took up the eye liner and draw. On my right eye it was nice but not on the left. When i use until half, the lead finish. And now my eyes one darker than the other side. OMG! Like ghost. So got no choice but to wipe the darker side into more light to make it equal with each other.

Can see the difference here? Hope not~~

Alright, today i write my post till here. Pretty tired. Almost half a day outside the house and now im going to find my sleeping angel play chess. Good night, everyone. Ciao...

Sleepy,
Maye

Feeling bored~~~

Today is Sunday. I think most of you all must be at home resting or some of you may do some household chores. As for me, i've been utillise the afternoon time study. Coming this December taking 2 subjects and that will make me go crazy. I think. Haha. Well, i don't really care about that cos i more care about passing it.

Yesterday (Saturday) as usual going to my classes. This time i met an Italian guy. I think he quite at an old age as my presumption of his outlook appearance. I met him at the McD restaurant. Me and my coursemate bought McD breakfast and went upstairs looking for a sit. And so we sit beside of this Italian guy table. He wish us 'Morning'. We didn't intend to chit chat with him in case he might find us disturbing him reading novel. Haha. Well, he is such a friendly guy. He takes action to speak with us. His name called Lorenzo. Sound like the furniture shop is it? Yup, my first thought was that too. Haha. Wanna tell him that his name being use as a furniture shop here in Malaysia. But i think this is people name. Better don't jokes on it. hehe. He is a friendly guy who told us lot of his stories. He told us that he use to be very fat. But because he went to checkup one day, his doctor told him that he got diabetes. If he still continue eating much sweet, his eyes will go blind and his legs will be cut off. He was so damn scared. So everyday he would run and run, swimming and swimming. And now he is more thinner than he used to be. Everyday his doctor ask him to maintain 25g of fats a day. OMG! How to survive with that? He saw us eating fried has browns and burgers. Ask us why early in the morning eat that type of breakfast. As the food would only weaken our body system. Well, i answer him that we strive hard at work to get a better living and now once a while we must treat ourself better. So that we won't regret for not enjoying ourself. He just smile after listen my answer. Alright! After this im going tell something that would make your chin drop. Haha.

He had been travelling around the world for quite number of years. I was thinking that he might be come from a rich family which allow him to do that. But i was wrong. He is a middle man who helps to sell diesel. 1 metrick tonne of diesel he could earn a $3 commission. So every year transaction he could get a 3 million metrick tonne of diesel sell. So what do you think about his commission? Are you calculating now? Yup, you are right! is $9 million per year. WAIT!! i not yet finish my story. Every month he could get another 30 thousand of metrick tonne. So a month would be $90 thousand. Pick up your chin now. I saw it drop at the floor. Haha.

Although he look likes other tourist. But the local food here he is absolutely know better than me. Haha. He could even told me about the roti canai, nasi lemak, and etc. When talks about food, could see his saliva almost drop at the table.Hahaha.

ooo...Time doesn't allow us to chat with him anymore. We got to rush to our classes before its too late. Our conversation is short but at least we share our hometown culture together. It was nice and heart warming. Before we left, he told us that he is going to Singapore. As for now, im wondering where he is now. Cos he is a traveler. Goes almost every corner of the world. Hope he enjoy wherever he goes.

Sorry! I didn't mean it!

Today wasn't good day for me, i suppose say that. Early in the morning i got scolded by my friend. Well, i was trying to console her and giving some advice. But in the end i got told off by her. Being good and that is what i get i return. If no return also never mind but at least she appreciate what ive done right? Sob sob. I got very angry and told one of my friend on net. Well, i didn't know he need concentration in his proposal. So without saying 'hi' just blurt out all my angriness to him. Feel bad after he telling me. I didn't know that could disturb him and i know is my wrong. Cos that time was working hour. So didn't blame on him being honest to me. In fact feel happy cos he is straight forward. Alright, i won't disturb you again during working hour. ok? Sorry for what ive done and i didn't meant it. :)

Bye Bye

3 important person in my life had gone forever and im gonna miss them so much. May you all R.I.P. A song which could sing my heart out!!

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face
[Chorus:]I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye(Bye Bye [3x])Bye bye
And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever[Chorus](bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])Bye bye
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
[Chorus]

Happy & Sad Happen Just Like That!!!

Last Sunday (10/8/2008) had become one of the memorable day for me. Not my big day, I should say. On Sunday morning, me and my bestie, Kerry had plan to give my the other bestie who is having her graduation ceremony on that day a BIG surprise. At first, I was worry that I might get the wrong date or wrong time that would ended up a surprise for us but not her. Haha. So as our plan we headed to Cyberjaya around 11.00 am where we just after our breakfast. Finally we reach and get to place where they held the convocation. We saw lot of our friends too and chit chat all the way. So around 12.30 pm all the freshie coming with happy faces together bringing their scroll headed to their friends and family. Everyone was proud of them. Everyone shout when they come out. As for us, we busy finding our bestie, Jolene. Wanna say to her ‘SURPRISE’. Finally saw her, she was so happy and run towards us. Haha. We were happy and proud of her too. Hugging her and take lot and lot of pictures. Which is something that wouldn’t be left out. I saw my uncle and auntie too because my cousin graduate too. Aww~~ She is younger than me one year and I told her. I am the special guest. Haha. Of cos, I took pictures with her too. Hehe. Click here and there. Laughing non-stop. Shaking hands and hugging all around. When I saw my besties, Jolene wearing the robe, I feel happy and wanna cry. All of us had grown up. We can’t deny anymore that it is the time for us to another stage level of life. And then, I was thinking when am I going to graduate? Hope it will be soon. That day was damn hot. Sweating and my shirt got wet. Awh…that’s shy. But I sweat lot what can I do? L Around 2.00p.m we left there. It was a rush hour for my bestie, Kelly and me. Our bus is at 3.00 pm but we got to sit LRT and that will fasten our route. She was scared that we might be late for the bus. But we calm down. At last we reach Plaza Rakyat which is near the bus station. We walk as fast as we can. Thanks God we reach there on time. If not, I was wondering what time we will reach home, Melaka.

Once I reach home, I was pretty tired. My body was stink and I get myself clean some household chores fast so that I can get a bath soon. After bath, I thought I could get some rest and later go out some drinks with my other bestie group. Cos she just came back from Singapore. But sometimes things weren’t follow what you had plan. When I got out from the bathroom, I heard my phone message ringing. So without hesitate, I look at the message. It was from my baby sitter (last time who baby sit me) daughter send text message to me. It started this ‘ Father had pass……’ I was terrified and I know it wouldn’t be the good things. My intuition was right. It written this ‘Father had pass away.’ I ‘ve call her and ask about what happened. My tears rolling down but I hold on. Don’t want to make them worry about me where they still have lot of things to take care of. After putting down the phone, my tears can’t control anymore. I’ve cried. My baby sitter husband was like a father to me since I was a baby. Taking care of me when I was sick. Cooking me Maggie mee when I was hungry during late night. Always buy me ice-cream whenever I was there. His relationship with children was good. He had his own tactic to make children happy. He too loves to treat his friends eat or drinks. Even a next table just smile at him, he could take the dishes on his table to theirs. Treat them to eat. This year he is 76 and I know before that he already got sick. Visit him at the old folks him. Wanna cried but I couldn’t. Got to cheer him up. And now he is gone forever and he would always in my prayers. I love him as much as he loves me. Papa, may you rest in peace. I will always visit Mama. I love you.

Happiness and sadness happen in one day was something makes me suffocated. A sudden change makes me blank for a while on that day. But I know is not the time for me sobbing but to get up and help them with the funeral things. Alrite, I stop here. Will keep ya-all posted ~~~

Complicated,
Maye

What life would be?

Today, I had a chit chat with my friend. We talks about life, relationship, friendship and etc. You know, those things that happen between man and woman. His conversation seems to be sad which I feel curious what had happen to him. I know he could think that most probably had some stories happened behind it. Every time when had some argument but he said is not argument so I should say when we changing our opinion, he would say ‘You are still young! There are things you didn’t know and still need to learn!’ Well, could he just despite all the age thing? I don’t like people saying me ‘You are young and you don’t know anything!’ It seems that they didn’t at my age before. I know experiences he is more than me but that doesn’t means his experiences are same like me. He says life sometimes dark like hell and mine are sunshine like Mid Coast. I know he is trying to say I’m still young and there’s lot of things to learn. But learning this type of thing, even your age in 70 or 80, you would most probably still learning too. Even myself I can’t say that what happen in this world I know it all neither you nor me. Well, I was just trying to help him out from that ‘dark’ thinking, you see. Despite whether you are in age of 20s, 30s, 40s or 80s, just enjoy your life wisely when you still can. I know some of you may think that. Arh!! You said it very easily. Alright, then don’t listen to me and prove me wrong! Sometimes things are simple. Who make it complicated? You! Human! Maybe I’m young to say all these but please think back for a moment. You will realize yourself. All humans in this world got its own position and importance in life. Of course, triumph and disaster won’t be left out. So sad or happy will pass one day. As I said, "HapPiNeSS & saDNeSS CoULd HaPPen WiThIn SeCoNd deSpItE WheN, WhErE, WhY & WhaT. LiFE WouLD NeVeR LeFt ouT BoTh Of ThEm. ThAt iS Why 'LIFE IS ALWAYS THAT UNIQUE'

Think about it~~

The Gate Had Open!

Last Thursday midnight, it would be a quiet night and everyone would stay in bed especially for the Chinese. Normally the parents would not allow their children to back home late as they scared their children would accidentally bump into ‘them’ which is hard to handle once you bump into ‘them’. But for me, I’m still hanging outside with my buddies. Although is that, all of us still went home once the clock struck 12.00 a.m. Till the last, we think that we should went back home early where me and my buddies had to work on the next day.

For the Chinese tradition, all of the Chinese would pray for the dead leavers no matter it is your kin or friends. It should say would pray for all the dead leavers and this is the day when they coming back. In other words, is their ‘big’ day which means is their New Year day! All the Chinese would prepare all the food and fruits at a table especially for ‘them’. And of course, didn’t miss out all the joss stick, candle, and incense paper. All these is a must for the pray. The pray is either individual or joint group. For the individual normally would not have a monk standing in front the table (that I mention earlier) but it does have for the joint group praying. The monk would know what to do their job while standing in front of the table. Most of the people would pray with the monk by standing behind him and waiting him to give orders either standing or squatting and also turn around the praying food and fruits. After standing, squatting and turning around, it is the time for the burning session. Burning what? Of course the joss stick and also the incense paper. My mum told me that after the burning, ‘they’ would receive the money aka incense paper. Whether it is so or not, no one could really give an accurate answer because are not the dead leaver so how we know, right? ‘They’ didn’t come to us and tell us whether ‘they’ receive it or not right? Haha. If they really come back to you, I think is time for you to find a ‘shi fu’ (master) to get rid of them. They are not the one who you can mess up with, you see. Hehe. Just making some jokes to make you all relax.
Here are some pictures how the Chinese people.


The praying stuff The burning session Karaoke for 'them' to listen

Alright. That’s all for today. See ya in next post~~~

(P.S.: Remember go home early)
