yours sincerely

Dear Alex,
.
It indeed made me smile while mesmerizing those days that we once had. I must admit, i miss them alot. I miss you even more. Its sad that now im typing this, i have to use the word "those days" Those days when we all did silly things together. Those days when we had pillow talk and share our hearts, although we weren't cuddling any pillow =p Those days that we were so spontaneous with our actions and teasing each other with names without fearing being offended as we're known to be "thick face" *smile* Those days, you accompanied me through my tough times. Those days when we hunt for yummy food together. Those were the days.....
.
I'm sorry, this word that i long to say to you. Im sorry for not showing my gratitude on what you've done for me. Not knowing it until i loss a true friend who will go miles just for me. For i never really had a true friend before, im so embarrass to have forsake you. Im truly sorry and i want you to know now and always will, i appreciate the things that you've done. Picking me up even before dawn breaks, giving me surprises, making me giggle and laugh my last high school years away.
.
I did remember, last month was your birthday! All along, your birth date had been set in my mind and my phone. Knowing that, i did not call or greet you happy birthday. I wanted to, but taken aback. Knowing you had even better times now without me.
.
If only i could........ I will surely........ (i guess everythings too late that now you hav...)
.
Happy Belated Birthday Alex!!
.
With love,
Gloria

Speak Up

Recently I've watched a student exchange program on TV
.
.
It telecast the lifestyles and education style experienced by a particular student in a foreign country
.
.
There's really all the reason that i felt ashamed after watching that show.
.
.
Totally, not in a bias stand or am i specially pro-any country. But the education system there truly speak aloud of freedom of speech, freedom to explore, freedom to discover which allow the student to think so much further ahead
.
.
Its EXTREMELY A DIFFERENT EDUCATION STYLE
.
.
Over there, students were the ones who conduct and decide the flow of assembly with freedom. Every and any student were given the opportunity to speak on any matters. Students were the one who decide the courses of the semester.
.
Altogether,the teachers there believe that treating every students as adults and with ample freedom given, students will definitely grow up to the expected mature level naturally.
.
.
In contrast to the students in my "home", we're just all too passive. Expecting students to speak in class is already of little glimpse. Let alone speaking aloud during assembly. Its almost a dot of chance student will do.
.
.
Expecting a student to answer tutorial questions is almost similar to this.........
.
.
.
Im not meaning all student are like this. But having only a handful of participants in class is totally not the right way in our education.Times like this, i can't agree more with what's said by Ms. NaN. Its the "******" mistake.
.
.
In my own opinion, students should be interactive and responsive during classes and be participative at all times!! .
Students should state their will and opinion openly without being afraid to be judged and laugh at
.
.
Students should be the one who decide the path of their future and not be pamper by teachers who merely teach and teach... and be left behind because of our negative thinking.
.
.
Students should stand up for themselves and not be afraid to speak their mind....
.
.
STUDENTS SHOULD............

I know Me sounding very radical and emo now like some giler. I know it sounds easier than done. But don't you agree with me???
.
.
Shouldn't education be this way??
.
.
WE SHOULD SPEAK OUT!!!
.
.
ASK QUESTIONS!!
.
.
ANSWER QUESTIONS!! NOT TO BE AFRAID OF EMBARRASSMENT.
.
.
CAUSE....Who knows, the person sitting right next to you do not even know it too!!
.
.
Oleh itu,
.
.
.
Saya berjanji to be more participative, responsive and not be malu (as usual) anymore in my learning process..
.
.
SPEAK UP WITH ME
AND
SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF,
.
0K?? OK.... =)

Penang Food Haven

My waist line has increased and i hate it so muchhhhhh!!! I know i sounds like a typical girl who cares bout her fats so muchhhhhh.... But im telling you here that IM NOT. I just dislike it because i cant buckle my jeans!!! ARgh..... And all these, thanks to the blessed holiday trips i had...
.
.
Besides Kuantan which i sapu lots of Hokkien Mee and Ikan bakar. Penang is the other culprit to my buncit stomach! Im certainly not blaming on the sweetest tour guide of Penang who brought us to eat all Yummy-licious disheS.Its all because of my fat ass who don't exercise much. In fact, not at all. Real embarrasment to admit this =(
.
.
.

Impossible to be able to fit into my jeans. I really had a King's kinda breakfast in Penang. Its darn cheap that i couldn't believe it. With the amount of varieties in KL, the bill could easily reach over a hundred. But in Penang, each of us is not even paying more than RM10 for all these Dim Sumsss we had. Thank goodness im not staying in Penang for long term. Else i gota change my jeans every month!

Pulau Langkawi

Most of the times, i just post up photos without much elaboration of the trip's arrangement. So i thought this time, i'll get into a little details, hoping this would help those of you who wants to plan such trip. Perhaps, you can avoid all the mistakes we did during the trip, hoping you'll be able to save a buck or two.
.
First of all, i must say its impossible to travel in Langkawi without a car. Thus, renting a car is a need. No worries for this, there's plenty of such agent along the airport exit and jetty.
.
We put a nite at Langkasuka Resort which is quite affordable. RM 350++ for a double queen size bedroom which fit 3 girls on each bed. With strictly stagnant sleeping position and i've reminded myself a billion times not to snore that 2 nites =p This resort located less than 5 mins drive from the airport and its along the beach. Its totally recommended for those who love the sun and beach.
.
.

Langkasuka Resort Lobby.
.
.
.

Royal Yatch Club located a little further up from Langkawi jetty
Free of view but publics is restricted from going down to the dock
.
.
.

At the top of Cable Car Station.
Ticket price: RM15
.
.
.

Just like me who have never been to Langkawi before, need not worry bout directions as maps will be provided F.O.C at hotel lobbies. Although those maps is not 100% accurate, we did able to arrive at our destination with a little bit of help from the locals.

Lying along Pantai Cenang are many beautiful bars and cafes with great achitectural.

Semester holidays

I'm back! I'm back but I'm suffering in the toilet. Diarrhea... Waking up to "pang sai" at 3 a.m is torturing. I'm suspecting the maggi curry as the culprit of my suffering. Its cooked by my 9 year old cousin and he has this "gold-digging" habit! a.k.a nose-picking!! Thinking of it now, i shouldn't have layan him when he acted as the chef for dinner. Such torture to myself.
.
Anyway, 14 days of semester break, 11 days has gone!! With less than 3 days spent at home and 3 more days to go before the my very FINAL semester begin!! Anticipating it at the same time wanting to put a stop on the clock. Final semester would mean i have to work soon! Life would be a routine in less than 1 year time =(
.
3days in Langkawi
3 days in Penang
4 days in Kuantan
.
Pictures coming up soon. I really need to nap for a while now after some restless pang sai nite.
Be patient till im back
.
Happy Happy Raya hols =)
