trip to malacca

im back from a long break w/o blogging!

i went to Malacca with my parents last week and i think this trip is really fantastic! the hotel where im staying is called the Hotel Equatorial (5 stars) in Melaka during this 3D2N trip. it locates at the centre of the city, close to most of the tourist destinations (china town, red street and huge shopping mall). the staffs are always very friendly and approachable. furthermore, the hotel offers excellent and thoughtful service, e.g there is hotel cab to fetch you to/back from places.

during one of the night, i went to watch a movie (white vengeance) with just 4.5SGD adult price! what's even better is that movie tickets sold on weds will be on discount!

another reason why i love hotel equatorial is their food is really delicious!

(chef's recommended salad dish with yummy thousand island dressing)

(there are cheese, beef, egg, non-spicy chili, veggie, plum, ham)

(lunch buffet that cost only 20SGD only. took a picture of dessert section because it looks so mouthwatering)

(some other dishes that we ordered)

(my room service order. mushroom cappuccino for my supper)

(random dish from morning buffet*free*)

outside of hotel, there are three huge shopping malls surrounding us. (Dataran pahlawan, mahkota parade, cant remember the third one). almost of the time we do is eating because it's simply too affordable! while for clothing and cosmetic wise, i don recommend shopping there because it's expensive-- the price range has not much difference from singapore, some are marked with a higher price.

i went to Aunty Fatso restaurant which located near the beach (because there are a lot of mangroves and saltwater trees growing near the shore, i cant really see the sea) to eat crabs. another place which everyone must visit! oh, there is a very cute brown cat living there which loves to climb on the tables to look for leftover seafood.

(something i bought when touring)

pet shop in malaysia is like a mini zoo, there are hairy spiders, parrots, squirrels, mouse, hamster, dog, puss cat, lizards, hedgehog and scorpion!

(i think it's really cute. it looks so carefree!)

in the toy shop, christmas toys are everywhere! even angry bird wants to celebrate!

(this bear is same height as me. i really wants it haaa)

A CHAT WITH JESUS CHRIST...

Jesus: Hello. Did you call me?

Man: Called you? No.... Who is this?

Jesus: This is Jesus. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

Jesus: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.

Jesus: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

Jesus: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

Jesus: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?

Jesus: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

Jesus: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

Jesus: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

Jesus: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?

Jesus: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?

Jesus: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.

Jesus: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

Jesus: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

Jesus: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Man: What surprises you about people?

Jesus: When they suffer they ask, “Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.

Jesus: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Man: How can I get the best out of life?

Jesus: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

Jesus: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration.

Jesus: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Man: Thank you so much.

Jesus: You are always welcome. Have a good day my friend. "Always remember, God's Word is the Word for YOU ."

感触

看了《美人心计》， 感触良多。
有些错，犯了，需要一生来偿还
有些机会，错过了，就会后悔一生
有些人，变了，让关心他的人伤心
有些时候，活着让人很疲惫，很悲伤，因为世上有太多太多的事让人感到身不由己。
活在这世上，最美好的不是荣华富贵，而是平平安安。
真正的幸福是当你满头银发时，蓦然回首，最爱的人依然在身旁，不离不弃。你微笑的听他说，“有你真好。”



活着，一定不能忘了年轻时的自己，千万要记得原本的面貌

good day :)

a few hours ago, i wanted to write an emo post. a post about me feeling hopeless of getting into local uni. i was planning to upload this ...and then miracle (too good to be true) happened! i received a mail from NTU! they offer EEE, my first choice! WOW! this feeling is great.

and i hope that, at the end of my uni study, i will know that i have made the correct decision:)

GOOD DAY

i'm a little bird

i'm a little bird, struggling to fly high. i dream to soar and hover in the blue sky like an eagle, so i flutter my little wings hard everyday. but, i was never like an eagle. my given ability and the cruel reality mock at my silly persistence. am i dreaming too much? am i asking too much?

expectation is never equal to reality. but oh please, i just wish to fly a little bit higher than i could. so don judge me by my size, don judge me now but judge me by my dream. i will strive harder, so please give me a chance.

what will happen tmr, no one knows. i pray to become stronger, but very often, i feel weaker. will i, after trying desperately to reach the sky, fall to the ground because of exhausion? will i, not afraid of the pain, get up and fly again? will i? YES, no matter how much i bleed and how much i cry..

i'm a little bird, but i want to fly high!
