What If

Do you ever know ?
What and if, are two words as non-threatening as words can be.
but put them together,side by side,
and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.
What if ,What if , What if ....

Sometimes you just have to make a hard decision .
as the poem ' the road not taken' by Robert Frost said ,
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both .

When you are in this situation , which road will you choose ?
The road less taken or the road which have foot steps ?
If you choose the road less taken , you might found something amazing and might be dangerous.
If you choose the road which have foot steps , I am sure your road will be smooth without obstacles.
No matter what decision you made , be proud of it , continue your steps and don't turn back .


Dare to dream , Dare to love.

Life is like a box of chocolates and yes, we never know what we will get next. Maybe the Switzerland milky chocolate is your choice but sometimes what you can get is just an almond.

We might have lots of options offered to us in our life, but not all of them are appealing. Then we will have to compromise, and then kept going on our journey.

Sometimes time moved so fast that we haven't even know what was going on then it past. We are always saying"If only I knew..." but if we had been given a second chance, we might make the same mistakes again if we didn't learned from our lessons. I am thinking that if we have to face our difficulties, is our soul having to face with the same situations? Is there a soul in my life that really understands my thought but is leading a totally different me in another life?

Maybe it is really like this. A fierce and strict teacher may have a heart of young girl inside who love pink frocks and ice cream.A weak and sick looking boy may have many outrageous dreams inside his mind and a hardworking student may living depressingly in the depth of his heart.Of course they are not living with multiple personalities. Everyone have played many roles in their lives but each time a different role integrated completely in our life that nobody actually aware.

I have not found my true definition in my life but I will continue to try and find it until I have filled the gap in my heart that makes my life complete.

About Stitch

When I was in primary school age, I saw a cute pet on TV which has two big eyes always staring at you. It's stitch.

Stitch is a small blue monster (Shu Lin don't hit me, I don't know how to explain) which has sharp teeth will threaten you when it is angry. Actually, its real name is "Experiment 626" made from Dr. Jumba Jookiba. So it has 6 legs, but it always hide 2 legs into its body and only show 4 legs to people as a normal pet. And it was bought by Loli who is a family member of it. Because of stitch's strong destructive power, it is aways blamed by Loli's mum. Then Loli will always tells stitch, "Stitch is not bad. Stitch is hairy. " and make it become happy.

Stitch also has a girl friend "Experiment 624" which called Angel. It is pink one in photo and cute also, and her voice can make people do bad things, expect stitch and "Experiment 625", the one made after Angel. So they like to play together.

Stitch is not easy to destroy, but one of its weakness is water. Because its density is more than water, then it will sink to the bottom. Also it also never leave Loli alone. Because she is its family, and it loves her so much. Stitch has many abilities, the most famous one is that it can raise up the things which is heavier than itself 3000 times, and it has super elasticity, good memory, well hearing and a brain like a computer.

This is the cartoon character I love. Stitch!

Journal Writing2- The place where I usually study

I walked up the narrow staircase of Casual Poet. It is located in a busy area with all sorts of shopping malls, cinemas, karaoke,and also pub surrounding it. Along the staircase, the two sides of the wall is in bright yellow and is decorated with colorful and fragrant flowers. I came across a wooden door which has a sign that said "make yourselves home"in Chinese in a neat, ladylike handwriting. It looks sweet , mysterious, and also inviting to me.

I opened the door slowly, and found myself in a rectangular cozy-looking room. The first thing I saw is a bar counter opposite the door I came in with a young teenager sitting behind looking comics. She had a lovely big smile on her face and she nods her head towards a empty seat. At the left side of the bar counter is book shelves from the floor to the ceiling with all sorts of magazines and comics and are painted with light blue color. Some dark color small size armchairs are located beside the huge bookstores. Behind the book stores, there are two doors. The door on the right led us into a small kitchen and the door on the left is the washroom.Between the two doors is a wooden sink and a large wooden framed mirror is above the sink. At the right side of the bar counter is divided into four types of seats-the red polka-dots sofas, tables with seat like dustbin upturned,wooden rocking chairs and three partition where we sat on the floor like the Japanese.

I find this place special because it is located in Batu Pahat city center ,which is the place where crowd usually gathers. In here, it is like a secret garden, because no one was talking loudly, and the atmosphere there is always quiet and peaceful like a sea although outside is full of noises.Casual Poet does not compete with those complex restaurants, it has its own style and also exists simply because the owner just want people to slow down in their busy lives and to relax.In fact, the place is quite narrow, but through large glass windows, dancing trees and the as blue as forget me nots skies outsides, it actually feels quite vast.

There are peoples doing discussions, chatting, dating, and I love to study and doing my revision there. When I was in my hometown, whenever my exams are coming, whenever I am going to discuss my homeworks with friends, Casual Poet is always my first choice. Because in there, I feel relax and I can concentrate in my studies and I can stay there as long as I want.Besides, although outside of Casual Poet is always crowded and hot and noisy, inside here is always cool and quiet because not many people knew this heaven like place.There is also a small radio playing soft classical musics so it is really comfortable in there. And Casual Poet also have refreshments like juices , snacks with reasonable prices and it opens from 12 noon to midnight daily and also the most important reason why I prefer to study there, it is near to my secondary school and home.

I am really attached to this lovely secret cafe restaurant and unfortunately I am now in here and cannot studies there anymore. I hope to find another place as nice as Casual Poet here .

The Gathering

Yesterday, me, Sing Rui and Joey went to a gathering for new students. We met many people. But not all of them are SEGi's students. Some of them are office workers and also have our seniors.

First, we introduced ourselves, and keep telling our names to others. After 2 times repeat, we play a game to help us remember each other name. I think that it's a good game to play. Because when i was in this game, I can remember 3 to 4 people names.

Next, we are divided into 3 groups to know more things about ourselves. In my group, there were 2 new students, me and Jane. She is having engineering course also from the intake in Jan. 9th. And the others are having jobs. They said that they are from the same church, and they were also helped from these gatherings. So they want to help the other now. At the end of this part, we exchanged our contact number.

Finally, we played 2 games, ate some desert, and took photos together.

I was so happy to have more new friends.



Being hopeful and thankful everyday.

Love is in the air

It is so happening in Ponte Milvio bridge , Rome .
Young couples attach a lock on the bridge and throw the keys into the river below to show their love . This trend is due to the book I Want You by Italian author Federico Moccia.

14th February is definitely a meaningful date for all the people around the world.
It is Valentine's Day that all the country celebrate together.
All the lovely birds feel it is extraordinary day for them because they could have a romantic dinner , receive gifts and flowers from their loves one , or propose to their loves one .
Most of the gentlemen would crack their head for this special date.
They may think how to surprise their girlfriend and make them feel touch .
They will try their best to show their romance .
This is really a best way to show someone how importance they are.


Even Google make a video for Valentine's Day !
Let me show you about it . =)



The doodle tells the story of a boy who has a crush on a jump-roping girl. The boy try to gain attraction from the girl , so he uses Google to search for gift ideas. The boy tries again and again, lavishing her with flowers, chocolates, a diver's helmet, and magic tricks, until he's almost defeated. Then he reappears one day with a common interest -- a jump rope -- and wins her affections.

Through this video , Google confess that with its super powerful search engine capable of finding any and all gifts, such things can't solve all our problems, especially when it comes to human emotions. Sometimes we should just follow how we feels than doubting about it. I would like to end with this meaningful quote .

Lao Tzu said ,
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Movie recommendation- 3 Idiots

3 Idiots is a Indian comedy film which is released in 2009.The film is about two engineering students go to search the valley for another long lost brother of theirs to reorganized their 'three gangs' in their college years, and they uncover some previously unknown facts about their old friend that leads them to question everything they ever thought they knew about him.

I always think that Indian movie is a boring movie about Indian songs and dances and Indian couples hiding behind trees until I saw this movie.I saw my friends posting about it in Facebook and I was so bored so I decided to have a look about it. Who knows this movies totally changes my mind about Indian movies and I am so touched by the content of 3 idiots and I couldn't stop my tears and laughter.

"Boring resistances boring "is the attitude taken by Hong Kong students in order to survive,and the far away India students was actually also the same kinds.Many people thinks that the 3 idiots in the movies is in the mercy of others but they were actually using their childish and humor to frolic acts and to satire against the spoon-fed absurd education system in India. This is a rare Indian high school movies ,which did not forget to reprove the problem of commit suicide of India in the midst of mischievous actions.The most important message the movie bring to us is-"All is well" which is a main dialog that is used throughout the movie.It tells the audience that one should not be panic in difficult circumstances and be optimistic.

Go and see this movie, take three hours in your life to watch and think about what this movie wants to say.And then go for what we want. Enjoy!

Monday was the festival of lanterns for Chinese. I don't know what Malaysian will do in that day, but for the people in china, they will eat sweet dumplings which they call "tang yuan".

Sweet dumplings are small balls. Most of them are white color, but also have black and mixed-color.The color all depends on the sources or filling inside. The white and black one often is empty inside; the yellow or green or purple one often has some stuffing inside, such as, mango paste, red bean filling, sesame filling, jujube paste, or meat can also put inside.We can make them our self or buy them in supermarket.After having sweet dumplings, we cooked them with some sweet soup. Sometimes, we put an egg in the soup, and fermented glutinous rice to make boiled glutinous rice balls in fermented glutinous rice which Chinese call "jiu niang yuan zi".

Why the Chinese eat sweet dumplings in the festival of lanterns? Because the sweet dumplings "tang yuan" which is sound like reunion in Chinese--"tuan yuan". Eating sweet dumplings also have the meaning that reunion and auspicious.Chinese always eat sweet dumplings to wish their families can stay together and being happiness.

Wish you have a good day.

Thaipusam 2012

Yesterday is Thaipusam , and it is celebrated by all the Indians around the world .
It is also a public holiday that our country declare every year. Many Indians go to the famous place which is Batu Caves and Penang to celebrate this special event. Actually Thaipusam mean the birthday of the God Lord Muruga ,the younger son of the God Lord Shiva.

At Batu Caves, devotees have to climb 272 steps of staircase to reach the main cave to seek for forgiveness for past deeds or to thank Lord Muruga for wishes granted. There are some devotees carry the Cavadi , a wooden arch with two pots at its end which decorated with peacock feathers. All the Cavadi carriers are devotees who have requested favours , and have had their favours granted or wish to atone for past misdeeds.

There are also devotees that pierce their body. They pierce their mouth, cheeks, and skin with rods as a demonstration of their faith. Devotees believe that the body should not be harmed as the body is akin to a temple that the soul resides in. However, devotees are able to tolerate this ordeal of pain as they are in a trance-like state. There is no blood and they prepared themselve for this by undergoing specific rides during the preceding month.

This event really play an important role to our culture. A lot of tourists came to Malaysia and celebrate this festival together at Batu Caves. The crowds at all venues are huge and affected the traffic near by. I also went to the temple that near me which is in Kuala Selangor , there is also celebration at there. Basically i went there because of our religion class that acquire us to take photos and know more about others religion . I really gain knowledge on our Hindu culture after the visit to the temple. The Indian people there welcome us and let us take photos with them. They are really friendly i could say. Wish i could attend this event again next year at Batu Caves or Penang .

Led a better life:)

We always have moments feeling down. No matter teachers, students, parents, elderly people, or children. Perhaps because of a person, perhaps a thing that one can't get over with. It doesn't matter which. What matters is when we are feeling down, it will affect our daily routine in our life. We will feel depress, sad, or even anger. We will also affect the mood of people surrounding us if we are emotional.

Therefore, we must change. Smile, is the quickest,easiest and certainly the cheapest way to change. Smile is sacred word. It can warm a stranger's heart, it can make people forget their troubles and it is the fastest way to help you to speak with a new friend.It can be divide into many types. Dazzler, beam, laugh, grin and many others more. I always think that smiling is the warmest way to know a person.

Life is like a mirror.He would laugh at you when you choose to laugh at him. He will cry at you when you cry at him. Life is not always successful, but why care so much? As long as our heart is magnanimous, we always have a good reason to smile in our difficulties. Our difficulties, problems and unhappy things will past quickly, if we let them past. We cannot change anything that has became a fact. We must try to accept and to face the reality. We stop in the present, but the world is still turning. Have a good laugh at yourselves, and then continue your journey. Remember that Laughter , is always the best medicine.

Never Give Up

Different people have different problems in their different lives. Someone maybe lose their jobs, someone maybe never have a good mark in his class, someone maybe do not have enough food, someone maybe ...

If there are two people A and B, both of them become a disabled in an accident.A always thinks that he cannot walk already, cannot be better in his life.He always blames everyone and everything around him.He starts not to talk to everyone, and become more and more hopeless.But, B does more rehabilitation training everyday, contacts with the other people, and never give up. At last, B must be healthier than A, and can walk one day likely.

In our lives also want to be hopeful, keep going.Feeling hopeless and give up is not courageous.Facing the problem, you will find out that is easy to solve.

So being hopeful and keep going. Do not stop because the problem. We will be better.

Fashion

Fashion is a very special term that have many different definations from different group of people. Although all of us may have the differences in giving different defination about fashion, fashion to all of us are define as a word to represent beauty.

For the youngsters, they always assume that their idol's wearing or dressing is the best sense of fashion. They followed blindly without having their own style. This have to be taught by parents from childhood to avoid over-blinded in follows the others fashion that are not really suit them.

As for the fashion designers, they always think their own designs are the best in fashion. The fashion that is decorate by them are actually too dramatic and is not realistic for common citizens like us to wear it in daily life.

Conclusion, all of us although are the same species but we have different point of view in fashion.

Try not to follow others fashion but your own fashion that is really suit yourself. A good way of dressing will give us confidence and built up our image.
