First job

28 January 2010

One class;

Three forms;

Eight students.

My first time, changing my identity from a student to a teacher. In other words, a totally-unexperienced-plus-noobness-undefined part-timer. =/

And I taught Form 1, 2, 3 students simultaneously in a class for two hours. Really felt sorry for the students there. One of the students even told me that they kept having different tutors every week. Sad, huh?

Now I don't feel like going back there anymore.

Not this tuition centre, at least.

Suk Khuan's 18th Bash

20 January 2010

So, Sukkhuan had a BBQ party at her place on her birthday. We were supposed to be there at around 4.00 p.m.. Pria was reallyyy punctual lol, followed by Joeyee and Gaaya, Nikhitha, Keiyan, Zuikhai and Szekitt. Justin and I were the VVIPs (sorry laa! I don't mean to be late but...there's quite a couple reasons you know...). Thanks for the wet welcome, ngkeiyan.

Then it rained and we all thought that we need to barbecue under the shed. Luckily, the rain stopped in just a while. That was it, the real problem began. We had a hard time trying to start the fire. In fact, Suk almost used up the fire starter lol. At last, Suk's dad came for help and managed to start the fire. Yay~ I think we took more than 30 minutes to start the fire, until some of us played the guitar (plus ocppie~~) and others busy snapping photos while waiting for the fire to start ahehe.

Ocppie a.k.a. Ocpipie. Zuikhai's car mate.

One of the main attraction of the night =))

Just as the fire had started (and we are all ready with the food), Joeyee had to leave.

Just when we've started barbecueing and eating, Nikhi had to leave. Awwh. But at least earlier they had fun!

After eating we played some games created by Gaaya. It was kind of lame but by judging our expressions, I can tell that everyone did enjoyed it x).

Thanks Sukzanne for the photo!

Then, it's the cake-cutting time! We sang four versions; the English, Cantonese, Malay, and Mandarin version x).

Coincidently, it was Suk's cousin, Shawn's 4th birthday too (^-^)

And when it was about to end, Justin got some music demand by Suk's relatives. So we persuaded Suk to sing David Archuleta's Crush while Justin played the song.

That was the night. Hope you've enjoyed it, Sukkhuan!~

Suk Khuan!!

Enjoy your college life~ =))

Sandakan '09

14 January 2010

Weeeee~ It's another annual family trip. And this time we went to Sandakan, Sabah. It's great to be there since my brother who is currently having his third year posting at that little town. So he can be our local tour guide. In short, money can be saved for other activities. LOL.

But seriously, my bro is really a pro tour guide. No joke. Who would ever prepare a full itinerary just for a 4D3N small family trip? He actually did. And he did it so precisely including highlights of Sandakan and meal times etc. Great job, bro =D.

DAY 1 (24/12/09)

Gosh my parents and I practically did not sleep the last night. We were busy packing and need to send Brandy to the pet shop to take care of him. Since our flight is as early as 8.10 a.m., we had to wake up at 4.00 a.m.. Well.., I woke up later than my parents ahehe.

We landed at Sandakan Airport at around 10.50a.m. or so. And my bro drove us to Sim Sim, a fishermen village-like housing area where there are loads of Chinese speaking Cantonese living in wooden houses on stilts. We had a reallyyy fresh seafood noodles for lunch. The taste was normal, but the seafood was totally remarkable! Mmm.

Since bro had lectures after lunch, he drove us to the hotel. So my parents and I explored the hotel until my bro is came back to fetch us for dinner. And yeah, Christmas countdown!! We went to a special place name Balin Roofgarden Bistro and Bar. That place was, yes, on the roof top. A really peaceful and serene place to go to.

Day 2 (25/12/09)

It's Christmas Day!! To us, it's the Animal Day. That's because we went all over Sandakan in search for the orang utans, proboscis monkeys and crocodiles! I was the most excited at that time since I'm really looking forward on seeing a real wild orang utan hanging on the tree. Blame me not. I'm born in the Year of Monkey, don'tcha remember? lol.

Orang Utans

Proboscis Monkeys

 

really 'tame' silver leafed monkey..

*pukes*

There's plenty other animals in the croc farm..

Crocodile show

Later on at night we went to my bro's lecturer's house for a Christmas party. Not too Christmas-ish, I'd say. But it was fun! We did caroling and stuffs like that. And I get to try the authentic Burmese laksa. Once again, yummy. I really love the broth!

Merry Christmas!~

Day 3 (26/12/09)

It was Places of Worship Day. After breakfast, bro drove us to a Buddhist temple up on a hill.

We visited the St. Michael's Church arter that. Such an old and magnificent church with stained glass on!

We also visited the Agnes Keith's house. Where did Sabah gets its nickname, the Land Below the Wind? From her, Agnes Keith. She wrote a book with that title. =3

The English Tea House. The waitresses there wear Frechmaid costumes!! It was nicee. The trees and plants there brought out the European kind of garden tea party. It feels especially European since there were two westerners sitting at the table behind us x).

Sandakan's most famous seafood restaurant - Ocean King

Beers are cheap here! So are the scallops (fei lo)

Day 4 (27/12/09)

The hotel's swimming pool

It was the last day. Bro brought us to the Sandakan War Memorial in the morning. Even though it's the original camp site of the prisoners of war, that place isn't scary at all. At least it isn't until I've read about the prisoners' life during captivity which is on display on the walls of the exhibition hall =/. Admission is free.

This place looked beautiful, no?

After that we went back to Sim Sim to have our last meal in Sandakan and bought some frozen seafood.

After choosing the seafood, the workers will clean and pack it.

The restaurant has a jetty for the fishermen to come and sell their goods

Then, my favourite desert time! It's some kind of desert parlour at Bandar Indah. And the yohgurt ice cream was really a marvel. It is so smooth and tastes sweet and sour at the same time!

Mango flavoured yohgurt ice cream

So that's all about my Sandakan trip. really had a great time there. This trip is more like a food trip though. And did I mention that the scallops there are really cheap? I mean, if we're in KL these scallops do sound like so expensive stuff where you can only have it in some kind of  restaurants isn't it? But in Sandakan here, these fresh scallops are known as fei lo, are eaten commonly. And it's really fresh too! *mouth waters* Lol.

Also, thanks bro for everything, including the unforgettable experience you've gave me!~

Some funny road signs..

Happy 2010!

1 January 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR!~

May everyone has a great and wonderful year ahead.

Too fast to be true

31 December 2009

Time has been practically flying.
Seriously, this year has really been a short year for me. Maybe it's because this year 2009 is my SPM year. From co-curicular activities to classes to seminars to workshops to tuitions throughout the year. Despite having such a busy year (well, not really because I did a lot of crazy stuff with my friends in school as well as in tuition ahehe), I enjoyed it. I enjoyed my last days in SBU quite well enough. I'll miss the school. Definitely.


Bye, 2009!

Here it is, a few moments later we'll welcome year 2010.

SBU x SJI Prom 2009

30 December 2009

Two weeks had passed since SPM examinations, and it's time for SMK Seri Bintang Utara's school prom joint with St. John's Instituitiuon.

The event occured at Hotel Nikko, Jalan Ampang on 18th Dec. It was memorable since it is quite rare to see all my schoolmates dressed so smartly.

We took some photos before the event starts

Cheers! for Table no. 12

This was taken outside the ballroom because the music inside was a little too noisy ahehe.

We even grabbed the oppurtunity to pose with the doors..! xD

..and of course, the washroom.

Gaaya and I were supposed to be the 'photo frame' for the S.O.T.s X)

A family photo!!

presenting Brandy!! He's grown up already, ne?

The committee did hire some good fire breathers lol. I can feel the heat eventhough the table that we sat on was quite far from the stage, but it doesn't matter. Because the food is just right behind me ahaha! And oh, the food wasn't as delicious as I expected it to be from a 5 star hotel. So, I was a little dissapointed then. But then the atmosphere already covered the flaw. Everyone stepped on the dancefloor, took lots and lots of photos while chatted through the night.

I did enjoyed it pretty much. :)
