Waiting for someone to give the command Then suddenly remember to breath your freedom Since when did you get used to this kind of life? Oh~
不相信 或是相信什麼
其實你 早已被決定過
你忍受 但是不願接受 Oh ～
No matter you do not believe or believe in something Actually your fate has been decided earlier You endure but are not willing to accept it Oh~
歷史 落在 贏家 之手
至少 我們 擁有 傳說 誰說 敗者 無法 不朽 Oh ～
History is written by those who win But at least we own the legend Who said losers won't be remembered? Oh~
拳頭 只能 讓人 低頭 念頭 卻能 讓人 抬頭 抬頭 去看 去愛 去追 你心中的夢
Fist can only let people bow their head A spark in mind can let people raise their head Raise your head to see, to love, to chase, the dream in your heart
What do we do when we are having a bad mood? Yeah, eat. Nice food has that magical ability to heal us from stress and depression, that is why when we are on diet we are usually cranky and uneasy (I know you have experience this, just admit it hahaha). There is nothing more boring or saddening than having to take your dinner at the cafeteria in the campus. Well the food issue is not that serious during the morning and the afternoon when I can eat at Old Flat where I can get Chinese food and noodles (I no longer have biscuits for breakfast, they can't generate good mood in me LOL). However I will come back to college after class, which means unless I go out again (laziness overloaded!) or else I will have to eat at the cafeteria right in front of my college.
Can you imagine having to eat chicken for every dinner in the campus? Varieties of chicken rice we have here: honey (madu), spice (berempah), roasted, curry, red sauce (masak merah). Dish with chicken: black pepper, ginger, paprika, tumeric, tomyam, soup and basically all types of fried rice. Even fried Chinese kale or Ipomoea aquatica (you don't know what it is? Make it simple, call it kangkung LOL) has chicken meat and skin inside. Unless you go for burger or fried snacks or bakeries, you will get to eat chicken.
No matching container this time T^T
This was my second time ordering dinner from Dish Motion (for the post regarding the first time please click here). The menu for this week was papaya peanut soup and long bean rice! There was an adequate amount of papaya chunks and peanuts which made the soup taste light and sweet. Even though I get to have free soup for lunch every day at Old Flat, this one is nothing comparable with the ones provided at economic rice stalls. You won't taste a hint of MSG and it is definitely nutritious! The long bean rice was so good that I couldn't make myself mix it with the soup (if it was white rice I will definitely soak it in soup, just a habit)! There were long bean (of course), fried garlic and dried squid which made the rice so aromatic. My mum used to cook long bean rice at home as well. The dinner today was just so heavenly! It is worth more than the RM6 that you pay. Trust me!
This is a leap, but it's an undesirable leap for 0.02 tonnes of carbon dioxide added to my carbon footprint (0.02 tonnes = 20 kg). Ok I am just kidding haha but the data is real which I calculated using this carbon footprint calculator. After almost 21 years of never have travelled through air, this was my first time taking off for a route of less than one hour from Penang to Subang Jaya on Malindo Airline, a small plane whose inside looks like a bus with propeller on both side. Well I have been travelling on train but I found that with a mere addition of RM 4 I can save up to 4 hours if I choose flight instead, how attractive does that sound?
We are forbidden to use handphone when departing or landing, so I missed out some beautiful landscapes of Jerejak Island surrounded by fish farms which look like patches on the sea. Some scenes are meant to be kept only in memories boohoo. This place is actually still the mainland of Penang where you can't even see the borderline between the sea and the sky.
Lots of plantations consisted of green patches of different shades. Thanks to the cloudless weather at Penang that I am able to see this beautiful view. You can notice rivers which are brown in colour as well which lead to the sea. Everything is crystal clear in the air that you can see things that you will not be able to see on ground.
Being a student studying far away from home, travelling is quite a normal thing although I merely go back home from university four times per year in average. I prefer to travel using train instead of bus because I can choose my seat and probably escape somewhere else if I find the person sitting next to me is kinda creepy (thank God so far I have not met any). So I am quite familiar with KL Sentral which is the main intercity train station nearest to my university. Not long ago NU Sentral was built right next to KL Sentral and it becomes one of the most popular shopping mall for travellers (even non-travellers will go there for a meal or a movie). As an occasional traveller, there are a few important things I look into when I want to get a place to kill my time while waiting for the train:
Wifi
Socket
Caffeine
Yeah I want to use a laptop while having a cup of coffee, hahaha. There are a few cafes in KL Sentral and NU Sentral but so far this is the only one that I will go since its existence there - JENERIS By Ahren (it has everything I need!).
The cafe located right at the entrance of NU Sentral with a garage look.
It is really hard to convince Erika going out with me (so guys please take extra mental preparation) and she finally made up her mind to go for a pre-GST (goods and services tax) lunch this noon at The Flying Teapot Cafe which is located within the walking distance from South City Plaza. Even though this was just the third time I visited this place, I have been wanting to come back again since the first time last year (credit goes to Shirley who had brought me there)! And this is also the first post of me doing recommendation and review on a cafe, like what many bloggers are doing now. The main attraction that this cafe provides is the atmosphere. The environment is undeniably comfortable, with soft relaxing music playing at the background and lots of cutely unique teapots lined up on the shelves. Although I am not really fancy of pink, it just caught my heart in this little cozy cafe among the hustle and bustle or streets here in Seri Kembangan.
Me and nasi lemak. The sambal tasted really nice even though it did not contain dried prawns and the egg was boiled just nice with moist and dark yellow eggyolk (which didn't turn grey like an over-cooked one)! The usey embryo rice which tastes better than brown rice but is healthier than white rice.
The inconveniences I had last
semester in terms of facilities were all gone. Last semester was quite
unpleasant for me. We had no table and cupboard for more than one month and the
hostel was under renovation that we could not enter the hostel for some period
of time. Even though the wifi still sucks as usual now (I suspect that the
whole thing broke down), I manage to get back to the previous block that I
stayed during first year (whee~) in a room with good privacy on top floor. I
might need to spend more energy going up and down but it is still cozy to live
in.

I got rid the thing that bound me on
Saturdays, which means I am a freeman on weekends now!!! The schedule this
semester seems just nice despite the fact that I need to go to class by 8am for
two out of five days because most classes end at noon! Although the classes
seem less packed this time, I must pay more attention in classes since I did
not do well in final examination last semester. It’s time to rise again!
#3
This is just the first week of the
new semester and I decided to wake up early consistently every morning. I know
it sounds silly for a university student to behave that way but I seem to have
more time if I wake up early. Because I am now still adjusting to this new
lifestyle (actually it is not new because I practiced it during first semester
*shamed*), I feel tired in the morning these two days. It should get better as
I get used to the timing, and of course that means I need to sleep earlier too!

No more unlimited data now. It
sounds like a bad thing for heavy internet user like me but it is actually a
good thing. I won’t browse Youtube like there is no tomorrow and I will
treasure the time when I have wifi in the café or at the faculty. Subscribing
to data is expensive, but Hotlink users can now use free social messaging with
a one-time payment. I forgot how I subscribe to that plan but it is really
worth since you can stay connected to friends and family without spending
credits in texting or calling.

I have not introduced my sister’s
bunny – Happy here yet. Happy is a lionhead breed who is three-month old now.
Having a dog or a cat as pet is quite a normal thing that even people who have
not had these animals as pets know more or less about their behaviors. But
having a bunny is a whole new level. She is more like a cat than a dog, which
means she is not submissive to you and she really has the personalities. After
spending time with her for some time, you will feel like treating her as an
individual rather than a mere pet. Yeah more time and energy are required to
take care of a bunny but she really brings joy to me. I will have to wait until
next semester break to see her again.

Being able to cycle is a really enjoyable thing in life. I am not afraid of the scorching sun, because usually I leave my hostel when the sunlight is still cool and lovely and go back to the hostel when the sun is setting. Of course if I really need to cycle under the mid-noon sun, the distance is short (like from faculty to faculty) and it is more pleasant than waiting and cramping in a bus. Uphill task is tough, but after the hard work you can enjoy the chilling breeze as you go down the slope, feeling free as a bird. Cycling is freedom, where buses are limited.

This semester is somehow stressful, not in terms of academics (16 credit hours are just so comfortable, hahaha) but in terms of the environmental competition I am organising with a group of teammates. We are inexperienced and are easily disorientated as we have no senior to guide us. Everything was started from scraps, from pieces of ideas forming in the head of one person to a solid event moved by a team of 16 people! I am grateful for having supportive friends and companies who help us out a lot. This is just a starting point, we see so much light lying in the future!
Of course I would like to promote the STUDENT-INITIATED ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS COMPETITION 2015 with the theme Ignite the Silver Lining here! We have been planning this competition since last year and all the students participating in this competition will be the pioneers of the student-initiated environmental movement in UPM! There is not much time left! Hurry up and we want you to be part of the efforts!
Check out this awesome trailer!
P/S: The arrangement of the good things happened is not according to importance ya~ =P
During my childhood time American versions of Power Rangers was one of my favourite TV series which became the reason I always be on time to sit in front of the TV every weekend (however I had never liked Ultraman before, not sure why). Then I found that there were another versions of Power Rangers which looked almost the same, which were the Japanese versions. The people actually re-create everything according to the original versions of Power Rangers from Japan! Despite of all the similar endings in almost every episode, I was still a loyal audience of American versions of Power Rangers (I failed to get used to the original versions). After I got a bit older, I watched Masked Rider Ryuki, which was much complexed than the Power Rangers in terms of storylines and the characters (I wish to re-watch all the episode and write a review as well!). For now, I fell in love with Garo since I watched the first episode. *fan girl mode on*
