Fantasy Short Trip in Damai Beach

Hello there! Again I am back from Kuching, but this time I am back from Damai Beach. Sorry about the wrong date which I had mentioned in the previous blog. My trip finished on 7th December, not on 8th December and Andrew still asking me what time I will be back today...Oh gosh! What a clumsy guy he is...

Actually the place my dad works had organized Family Day, and they had organized mini sport and dinner at Damai Beach Resort. Besides, we had also went to visit Matang Wildlife Centre. It was only 3 days 2 nights trip, what do you expect for? But finally I went to Damai Beach, this made me felt happy and lucky...

You see, what a beautiful beach is that? The sand is clean and the wave is not that strong as I had seen before in Bintulu or Miri. Finally I could have a walk there because finally I got the permission from my parents! Last time, I walked at Gerigat beach with friends without the permission from my parents. They never let us to go to this kind of place but I always did it silently....Sssh....


This one is one part of the resort. How I wish to swim in that pool but...I did not bring my swimming suit! Yes, I still a beginner in this sport, I just know how to float in the water, muahahaha! Who wants to follow to have a swim at the swimming pool in Sarikei? I sacrifice myself to let you to see my ugly body shape, alright? We have to wear swimming suit too, unlike the swimming pool in IPR...I always wear T-shirt and short pants, and that is the place where I learn to swim.


Beware of falling coconut fruits? What an interesting signboard...Indeed, there are coconut trees in the resort and there are chairs under these trees. These chairs are for the tourists to sit down and have a rest besides to enjoy the beauty of Damai beach.

Here we are, in Matang Wildlife Centre!
~Promoted by two crazy sisters~

I do not know what is the name of this tree, but I know this tree is so special that it is so high and the colour is so unusual.

What a cute little deer! However, it is blind...How pity is it!

Above: Husband
Below: Wife

So sad that there are less flora and fauna in the Matang Wildlife Centre. I still remember, I had seen hornbill and others birds there but there are no more nowadays. But I still want to say, "Good job!" to the centre as they still maintain orang utans inside. We all know that orang utan is also one of the prohibited animals in our country.

Whatever, it is still a fantasy short trip for me. Take a chance to come to Damai beach if you have no idea on how to spend your long holiday. When am I becoming the promoter of Damai Beach Resort? However, bring much money as the expenses here is quite high too. =P

Trip To Serian-Kuching With Friends

Hello there! It has been a week after I updated my blog. As I said before, I went for a vacation with my friends in Serian and Kuching for about 6 days. Actually, most of the time we just went for shopping as there are many shopping complex in Kuching such as Boulevard and Spring. However, thanks to Sin Yee's dad for becoming our driver and her family for letting us to stay there.

Although we spent a lot of time for shopping, we still spent our time to be closer to the beauty of nature. We went to Ranchan!

This is the entrance of the suspension bridge, although it is a bit old nowadays.

Come on, climb，climb, climb!

Then, we had a swim here! The water was very cold but still, we played there. Really had a fun time, especially for Siew Jing who loves nature so much.

Actually, I love nature too. Nature is the great creation by God, and it is so beautiful. However, it is also very powerful if we do not aware of it. Just like the lake below, if we do not be careful, we may fall down and drown inside the deep water. Sounds creepy, is it?

And, actually it is man-made lake. I like the hills there, there are hills in Serian.

By the way, I have no idea with this old ship...

Remember what I told here just now? Most of the time, we went for shopping. And of course, we went to the Spring! But what our friends say are true, the things there are very expensive. However, it just newly opened last year, just have a look there.

I guess these can symbolized the Spring. Is it fully enough to prove that I had been in the Spring before? Haha..


I forgot where this shop is located. Is it in Boulevard or Spring? Whatever, it is a special shop as the clothes and designs there are all in black and white. Special , right?

We were not only shopping in Boulevard and Spring, we were also having a look in such interesting shops:

688 in 4 miles, if I am not mistaken. These are not the decorations for Chinese New Year, but are for wedding! All things are red in colour!

Look! I am stepping on the glass! There were flowers and fruits under the glasses.

Actually, we went to a shop which sells Christmas decoration in 3 miles. The decorations are very beautiful! But, I was a bit shy to share other photos here. You can view others in my album in Friendster.

Not only shopping, we were also having cooking "class" at Sin Yee's house! Actually, Sin Yee and her siblings are good cooks and they love to hang out in the kitchen. The bun below were made by Sin Yee's brother, I mean her BROTHER! Look delicious, isn't it? Haha...Although I was also in the kitchen that night, but I didn't learn much there. Yeah, I am not enough confident in bakery and cooking, and I prefer to be in the living room than in the kitchen. It doesn't mean that I do not know how to cook, it just...it is not my hobby. Can anyone to make me fall in love in cooking and bakery? I feel a bit embarrassed when I could not help in the kitchen.


That's all about our trip. Indeed, we had bought a lot of things, including clothes and shoes(Girls!), and also food. This time I would not show all the stuff I had bought there, I just want to say that I had use about RM 500 during this trip, unbelievable! And actually, there was an accident happened during this trip. Not car accident, OK? My eye was injured and swallen for a few days. My eye could not stand for bright light and hence, I bought a sun glasses. Now, my eye is OK but not yet fully recovered. Phew! Thanks God for this...

Conclusion:

This trip...

I had discovered other streets and places in Kuching such as Kenyalang Park besides know more about Serian.

I had refreshed my memories about Kuching, especially Ranchan, I had been there four years ago with Prefect Board of my school.

Our friendship is getting better and we know more people.

I hope this will be a good trip for Siew Jing, as it was her first trip to Kuching...

About Archery...

As I told you before, I had joined activities on archery this few days, these include the state judge training course and the archery competition. Of course, we had a lot of photos to take as we were too "boring" and too "free", hahaha...(actually we like to become a "digital cam stars, hehehe...)

Hence, let the photos talk to you all...

While waiting for the course to begin, someone starts to have photos...



The banner outside the venue


This is the advance bow

The front view of Dewan Sukan...please ignore that two little guy, hehehe...

During official pratice...look at their bows, very heavy you know?


And these are our bows, really a big difference, right?



Competition against Novice Men begin!



Judges to do their work...I did not want to become a judge, it is a bit risky.

Finally novice had finished! Girl's team got 3rd place, guys is 2nd place and we had our top 5 female ancher and top 3 male ancher！


All anchers

Our Big Brother had his rank on the 3rd place, so he brought us to have supper in KFC, haha!

It is surprising that my team will get Rank 3 in team ranking! About boys, I never doubt about that, they sure will be in Rank 1-3, and they got Rank 2! That means, we will have our prize tomorrow! But, so sad I will leave Sarikei tomorrow afternoon as the closing ceremony will be held in the afternoon. I'm going to have a vacation to Serian-Kuching with my fellow friends tomorrow, until 25 November. Looks like we can't have our photos on having our prizes...I feel a bit sad but the bus tickets were already booked, I can't change the time...



Looking forward on the trip...pray for our trip, thanks...

Happy Holiday

Finally, I finished my FIRST semester! Although I still not sure whether I can pass my exam or not, and maybe I have to re-sit the exam next semester, but...whatever, I want to full use my holiday, to enjoy myself and also to gain more experience, more new and more special experience.

Wanna hear my plan for this holiday? Hahahaha...

15-16 Nov--- State Judge Training Course for Archery Competition
17-19 Nov--- 4th Indoor Sarawak Archery Competition
19-25 Nov--- Vacation to Serian-Kuching with friends
29 --- Dinner with Andrew's family in Sibu
5-8 Dec --- Vacation to Damai Beach with family
26-29 Dec --- Camp in Lundu with church member (maybe)

Looks like I will be busy soon...but I need to study, to prepare myself for next year. I know, I could not do well in my examination. For my English, I did wrongly in my essay! I did not look the question cleary and I answered it wrongly! This was the most terrible I ever had...I can only do well in English but now I already ruined it...Oh gosh!My Chinese...I am not sure whether I can pass this subject or not...

Haiz...I do not want to think more now. I will have activities for archery this few days. Yeah, I join Archery Club in the college and I was selected to join the competition. Just novice category only, and I could not do well. I guess I am the worst one among my team, how can I participate in this competition?

Haiz...don't want to think too much...just gain a different experience, try my best!

学习长大

快二十岁了

我离社会的距离似乎越来越短

虽然我曾经在这复杂的社会混过一段时间

我见识到它的复杂

说实话

有点恐怖

我在学业遇到挫折

被讲师训话

令我不知如何去面对

第一次

我尝到了不知所措、无言以对的滋味

只是保持沉默

其实是无话可说

我发现

我还不是成熟的女人

我还是爱玩的少女

虽说我快二十岁了

我对学业的不认真

有如此的回报

是应当的

看见人际关系的世界

它的可怕性

我见识了

可是我偏偏离不开那个世界

因为自己本来就是现在其中

根本没有逃离的空间

只因我是一个平凡的人类

是时候长大了

我的思想应该需要升级了

否则我的抵抗力是抵挡不住攻击

免疫力是不可能有的

只好常常吃补品了

加油吧

你始终还是必须长大的

加油吧

Nam Leong...Grand Opening

Tatatata...Nam Leong is opened today! Located at Jalan Masjid Lama, Sarikei, I can assume this supermarket as the best supermarket in Sarikei...It's true, believe me! Although it looks a bit smaller...

As it is the 1st day, sure there was offer. You see, there were crowd at the counter there! I had already 'stucked' at the stair case when I took this shot. If you are Sarikian, sure you won't believe that this picture was taken in one of the supermarket in Sarikei. Am I right?

We had already trapped at the stair case. You can imagine how were we trying to go upstairs before passing through the crowd?

The 2nd floor of Nam Leong Supermarket. The simple but a bit elegant inner design, isn't it, Jing Jing? Haha, I know, this could not be compared with other supermarket in Sibu, Kuching or even KL, but this is really the best design I ever seen in the supermarket of Sarikei.

Lady department in 1st floor. You can have a try to find some formal blouse which is suitable for working lady. And also for man, my dad felt very happy to see there are good quality shirt for him. He felt relief that he does not need to go to Sibu to buy those clothes. Haha...


However, I could not find a suitable dress for the annual dinner next month. It can be Malay traditional costume, but I want a trendy one. I guess whole classes want the trendy night gown, I guess. So sad, I could not find any in Sarikei, including this supermarket...As long as the dress is longer than my knee, that is enough. I can use coat, so it is OK to find a sleeveless dress. Can anyone have suggestion? Better it could be found in Sibu...

Back to the topic...I am glad for Nam Leong, they did their good job today. I wish that they could always have a good bussiness...Come to Nam Leong when you visit to Sarikei, and also for those Sarikian who are outside Sarikei, please come when you back to your hometown...When was I becoming the promoter? I even did not have any commission...

Crazy With HSM 3!

I am totally one of the fans of High School Musical! And today, High School Musical 3 (HSM 3) : Senior Year has been released in Malaysia! I had been waited for this moment for a long time...Can't wait to watch it! Who would like to bring me to the cinema?

I can't wait to watch the movie! I can't wait to listen to those wonderful songs! There are new 14 songs in this movie, and "We're All In This Together" which was released in HSM 2 has been presented in graduation version, I had listen a bit and I love all these songs! Now, I am waiting to watch the dance, know its story...Oooh~

Now I am looking more information on HSM 3, I just wish I can go to Sibu and watch the movie now, oooh~



I love this couple! And I hope their relationship in the real world will also long lasting...

Just can't wait~

致特别的两位代课讲师

昨天，我们亲爱的两位代课讲师终于要完成他们的任务了。 由于明年他们不会教我们了， 我们特别为他们做了一些小小的东西。照片是有的，只是还没拿到手，我就先以文字来与大家分享吧！


致池德湘老师，

谢谢你这段时间的教导，就像您说的，我们能相逢见面，成为师生，是上帝的安排，您是我们每一位学员的生活的其中一个过客。 可是，您将是其中一个重要的客人，因为您带领我们踏进《西游记》的世界，虽然您未能一直陪伴我们走完这个世界，就必须先下车，可是我们会深深记得。 当然也少不了中国文化，因为也是您指导的。 说实话，老师的长相不错，想必已经有了女朋友吧！有啦，哈哈...我根本不确定老师您会在网上流浪到这里来吗，哈哈！老师的教导有风趣，轻易的让我们开始也跟随着老师， 我也知道班长他甚至都可以成为您的朋友了！ 还记得有一天晚上，我在新友谊经过，看见老师您在那里，虽然不知道为什么你看着我看了这么久，但是当我和您点头打招呼时，老师回应了。 老师不会是在等我打招呼吧？

老师在昨天还买了榴莲和橄榄给我们吃， 您还用钥匙把榴莲“撬开”，由我们来帮忙掰开其他榴莲及收拾那长满了刺的榴莲壳，真的是谢谢老师的好意！ 我...只能说，愿神赐福予您， 有缘大家再见！ 老师昨天还在班上将我们的名字念完，真佩服老师都还能记得我们这37位同学的名字，虽然不知老师是否在之前曾经复习，可是还真是谢谢老师您的一番苦心！说实话，还真的有点舍不得...


致王威廉老师，

老师的名字其实是耳熟的，因为您是某中学的副校长，老师您的女儿可曾经是我妹的乒乓对手啊！ 老师您有一把好嗓子，有时在班上教书时，会插一小段的歌唱呢！ 虽然老师有时会像池老师那样说冷笑话, 然后我常常在老师的节上睡着，可是还是要感谢老师辛苦的教导。 老师带领我们漫游中国的历史，透过中国通史去了解中国， 虽然昨天匆匆地结束了旅程。 虽然我的语音并非完全改善， 可是我会改进的。

由于常常睡觉的关系，我跟您的交流很少，所以对您的话也明显第比较少。真的是对不起，我一碰到历史就会呼呼大睡，我真的无法控制自己的睡意...对您的话，除了对不起，还是对不起...


就在同学们播放他们为两位老师所特制的短片， 这小小的意思就结束了。 他为我的记忆里添加了新的甜美回忆，想必也为两位讲师留下特别的影响吧！两位老师在师范成为代课讲师， 学员们为老师准备了这些特别的小礼物，而照片们会及时上载的...





老师带来的榴莲，在外的你们， 是否想念家乡那香喷喷的榴莲呢？ 哈哈...

Don't Do Last Minute Work!

Finally all assignments are finished! But the most terrible day would be from last Sunday until Monday. As I arrived the hostel and put everything back, my work was started. I remembered, I started the work from 6.30pm until 6 am next day! No sleeping at all! I broke my record! Last time I just sleep for 2 hours, now NO sleep at all! And whole hostel were still very bright, you could hear the sound of printer...

So, on Monday, almost everyone were sleeping on the table, suddenly the class became sleeping town. Almost everyone burned the midnight oils until morning, some of them even had no time to have breakfast. It was a very unusual and terrible experience I even had. Sorry to him, I disturbed him at midnight until he could not sleep well. I was very tension that day and I need someone to hear from me. I need to release my pressure and in the end he could not sleep well too.

At last, all assignments are finished. Let me count, how many assignments I had handed in...Hmm... SEVEN assignments! Phew! Finished within a day. But, there is an IMPORTANT lesson: Do not do your work at last minute!

But for now, I felt a bit relief. At least I could do my work slowly right now...There are three works I need to print out, one Power Point I need to do, and one short story need to be written, remember I mention about Malay short story competition in the previous blog? I will customize a Chinese short story, I will change a bit and translate into Malay version. Later on, I will post out in this blog. Just wait and see...

"Long Time No See"

"Long time no see" stands for 好久不见, I'm sorry that I don't know which words should I use to represent this meaning. My English is not very good and professional, although most of the time I use English to blog...Actually I could not type faster in Chinese, so I use alphabet is better. But, I always use Chinese during SMS, not in English instead, because I type faster in Chinese, *muahahaha

Yesterday was the 2nd day of Hari Raya Puasa, sorry for the late update here, I blog after 2nd October, I'm blogging about 2nd October actually...Yes, we had our visiting to our Malay friend, the only Malay girl in our Form 6 class last time. Nowadays, we are the people who study in higher education institute, not longer secondary school's students anymore. Time flew!

We had a long time not for seeing each other since June, some of them, I didn't see them since March! That is because I was in National Service that time for three months. After I finished the training, they were almost prepared themselves to further their study in university. Now is Raya break, for those Sarawakian who study in Sarawak of course back to their home sweet home, and some of my friends are even back from West Malaysia!

Sharon, Valerie, Kok Wei, Siew Phen and I visited Izzah's house last evening. Although the host was very busy to serve people, but we still got time to chit-chat. Then we continued our conversation at Lake Park, from 7pm until 9pm, quite long, isn't it? Haha...Sharon studies Pharmacy in UKM now, Valerie takes Medicine in UNIMAS, so as Siew Phen but she studies HRD(Human Resource Development). Kok Wei, the only boy went to Kolej Kesihatan Awam Kuching(KKAK), if I'm not mistaken, because too many Ks there. He supposed to become my classmate in IPR, but...he chose another pathway, up to him. Yeah, he got the offers from SPA and also Institut Perguruan. This year is really his lucky year, he was succeed in every interview, three interview I guess, I am amazed with him!

So, three people who live in Kuching, one studies in KL and me who still "stuck" at the middle area of Sarawak sat together and limteh (yamcha or siatah also can). Hey, "long time no see", we should need time to be spent together, to chat and getting to know each other's latest condition. Is he or she becomes fatter, darker or thinner, fairer, or even becomes more beautiful or handsome? Obviously, Sharon and Izzah become thinner, Kok Wei became fatter after he moved from his hostel, Siew Phen became healthier because she plays basketball, Haha! Me? Just rebounding my hair...but become fatter, I am sure. What do you think?

Everyone has their different experience as everyone has different pathway right now. Sharon is the future pharmacist, Valerie will becomes a doctor, Siew Phen may works in human resource department of a company, Kok Wei will be a "Pembantu Kesihatan Persekitaran" (Sorry, I don't know how to translate it in English, can somebody help me? At least I can learn something new, thank you) and me, will be a teacher after 5 and 1/2 years. We even count, who will graduate first! Kok Wei will be as he is trained only for 3 years and I will be the latest (not the newest, please pay attention!), I have to be trained for 5 and 1/2 years! So funny when we talked about this:"Siew Phen, next time you need to hire my child!" "Hey, I am going to teach your child!" "But when your child is born, Valerie will be there." "Sharon will becomes Valerie's assistant." "Next time Sharon and Valerie can co-operate to open a private clinic..." Hey, Kok Wei, how comes we leave you alone? Actually, I'm not very know about your post yet, I just know you will be same as me, as the government servants, Haha!

The journey is still very long to have, no one knows what will happen after a few years, but for now, we have to do our best in whatever we do, no matter this will promise you to have a brighter future or not. Enjoy what are you doing now, try your best and always be happy for your rest study life, no matter as a trainee or a student in university. Try to make sure this few years will be your memorable life which you won't forget for the rest of your life. I don't ask you to have fun always, once or twice still OK, but don't forget your work! Gambateh to everyone, and also for those who are not coming back during Raya break, I hope to see you all in November! That time, we continue our limteh, OK?

As I am growing up (or becoming older), I realized the importance of limteh among friends...to strengthen our friendship...That's why I build this blog, to let for those who wants to know my latest update could know about it. If you have something to say, just voice it out! Don't be a silent reader, OK? Your words may helps me a lot, you know? I'm not going to force you, please don't be tension, Haha! Miss you all, my friends!
