Once in a Year

Every year there is a new year which means every year will celebrate a birthday to every person in this world.
It is a memorable moment I had because I have wonderful and good friends around me. There are blessed people who were brought to this world for me to share my happiness to them.
I do not know who I will be if without them around me.
I received 3 slices of cake and a 1/2 KG cake from my friends and course mates.









Thank you for making my birthday a moment that is worth remembering ^^

Crouching Tiger Hidden Rabbit

Chinese New Year is just around the corner
It will never be a goner
Whenever there is a new year
Everything has becoming cheaper

Every year there are shoppers
When they see new things they become hoppers
You will see many people at the ATM machine gather
It is a funny thing which make me ponder

Crouching Tiger Hidden Rabbit
The tiger couldn't touch the rabbit a single bit
It only can eat is his titbit
That is how the year has change a bit.

I wish everybody a Happy Chinese New Year and may you have a prosperous new year
Spend more time with the family and relative
Visit friends to gather more angpou because allowance is not enough..LOL XD
Have a healthy and enjoyable new year and finally create lots of memorable memories to remember ^^

Sponsors here and Sponsors there and Sponsors everywhere~

Yesterday morning I thought I was going to the campus in UPSI, Tanjung Malim to attend a photo session for the Chinese Society.

It was fun getting to know some new friends even though I had been in Tanjung Malim for 1 and a half years still there are many people i had not met but that is fate.

After the group photos, I did not expect I had to find sponsorship after the event. Moreover, I did not equipped myself with my stuffs. :( What to do, still have to carry on to look for sponsors. :)

It took like a whole day looking for sponsors, especially looking for Chinese citizens to support because this even is mainly is for CNY. From my experience during my tour, many Chinese are not so friendly, but there are some are willing to give which makes us happy :) Thanks to my working partnor, Sharon, which helps me a lot because she can explain the details which I am not good at it. Go girl ^^

After coming back to the college, my partner and I still continue look for sponsors around the Taman Bahtera. We got many sponsors than we had expected. The best part is during the night time, we went to a mamak shop and asked whether their boss is around so one of the workers make a phone call to his boss so we take the call and he said he will come the following next day. After ended the call, we went to another shop to asked for sponsor. Once we got the sponsor from the owner, then we went back to the mamak stall to had our supper. Unexpectedly, we met the boss and then we explained to him again and he accepted. Ok, we have done so much so we had our supper at the mamak. When it is time to pay up, the casher said we do not have to pay for the food we had order. We all were stunned 0_0 We never expected that was coming and we feel uneasy for their treatment towards us. I wouldn't dare to say happy but was grateful that they can do such nice things for us. Hope your shop will flourish in the near future.

Delightful Deepavali

First and foremost, I want to wish Happy Deepavali to all my indian friends and other friends. I am back to do some blogging. Recently there is nothing special going on here in Tanjung Malim. I will update this blog because I need to make myself active anyway and anyhow.

Today I just feel lazy to do anything except playing DotA (Defence of The Anceints). I like to play with my coursemate only the real fun give me the adrenaline to get rid of the pressure about the examation. Yeah, just to pass my time because I am too lazy to study for my examination especially SLA (Second Language Acquisition).

Today, I cook spaghetti which is my second attempt because it is time to skill up my cooking style. Muahaha..I went to Grand Union which is one of the simplest supermarket in Tanjung Malim, at least I can get the ingredients for making my spagetti. I bought Chifferi Rigati, and Prego Pasta Sauce. I had to borrow my coursemate's rice cooker to boil the spaghetti and the pasta sauce. Actually, I should get more ingredients to add flavour to my spagetti but I forgot to buy while I'm doing some shopping XD.

So I had to borrow Alif's salt and osyter sauce to enhance the taste of the sauce. It took me to cook about half and hour to finish the cooking..phew..

Now I know how hard it is to cook, and patients is all I need to get perfection of my cooking. Finally, it turn out to be a bit salty but it is still delicious even lack of ingredients. Next time it will be a better than this. Bon Appétit! Wait for next blog update :) Anyone can cook! (Quoted from the movie Ratatouille)

Voilá! Here is the Chifferi Rigati spaghetti.

Adha and his brother Aidil is enjoying the spaghetti. Muahaha..

Yum..that is Alif expression.

Ho Chiak!!

Embracing Imperfection

When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said. 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone! You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.'

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Burnt toast should never be a deal breaker. We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!"

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - but into your own.

The moral of the story is:

People will always forget what you do, and they will always forget what you say, but they will never, ever forget the way you make them feel
