Merry Christmas!

This is my ever first Christmas in Dublin. Although i don't really celebrate but i do feel the atmosphere  is getting nearer by seeing all the decoration on christmas tree everywhere on the street!

Two more paper to go! And i will be heading towards Paris and today after our dinner conversation, I  was too excited so started to prepare Christmas Card for my housemates! I am even more happy to see their excited face when they thought that Santa Clause is coming but yet they haven't got their socks hanging up!!!

Sparkle....

The sparkle in your life when you nearly give up your hope, knowing that someone care, 

you strive harder, because you know that you are not just doing it for yourself.....

Thanks for always remind me to find my way back when i get lose.....

Thanks for reminding me on the principle i hold on to" embrace simplicity "...

Thanks for telling me Everything start with imagination.....

属于我们的毕业季

那天读书读到几乎放弃

cardiff朋友突然在我chat box post 一首歌

属于我们的毕业季

我重复听了又听突然很感触

也很感激他突发的举动

让我回想当初

中学时光

虽然从小学到中学对他影响从来没好过

可是总觉得他永远都有一种纯真的童稚。。。

Study Week!

One compensate the blurness of the other...

Just like the photos.....

When both come together, everything become clear.....

Happy Birthday to " little brother" in UCD?lol

Tata, another piece of art as present to these 2 19th newbie!

Haha, make me sound so old!

But yeah, undeniable, they seem to be the most friendly house that i get to know here

Really appreciate to have friends who are willing to be so approachable of course!

Haha, so sorry for rejecting the invitation for new movie " The Hunger Game" tomorrow! 

We are really out of budget! Perhaps when i have my " income"! Lol

Pak Tok- ing!

I miss you!

I truly miss your smile!

Haha, and now when you read this, you must give me your big broad smile!

It has been 3 months here and indeed, i seldom see you smile lot( i mean, compare to last time)

You are different in certain way,you get so tough, so " macho!"!

But still, you are always the sweet, caring, loving and considerate Cindy, that why i always say if you are a guy, i will SURELY fall for you!

haha, but still, take care of yourself la, the other day saw you caughing again, plan to make my " lemon honey tea" for you, but then the next day you told me you are not sick anymore but you get leg injury pulak@@

The thing about you is that you never want people to worry about you! It is a bad habit! Change it! But in another way, you make me love you more! Teehee...

It had been weird that we seldom get time to be together alone! 

I am looking forward to the next pak toing with you,Cindy!

And this time, i want a hot hot chocolate muffin with double blueberry! And a cup of warm " Insomnia" haha!

Wake up with bless!

This morning, waking up with bless, i did this to my beloved housemate. She is someone who can laugh and cry in her most natural way and i appreciate her as who she is.

To me, it is not easy, it is the gift that you can be who you are and just the way you are.

Sincerely, i love your smile.

因为懂得幸福，所以更加希望身边的家人朋友比我更快乐

因为他们就是我幸福的泉源，我感恩有你们

他带给我第二次的感动

今天下午邮差的一封信到我家门口时看见自己的名，

第一反应当然是兴奋

然后就想起，书包里摆着几张N年前写好的名信片，就是没有时间把它寄出去，内疚。

哈哈，百年不变的字迹，一看我就认出来了

还附上＂thx postman!"

天哪！怎么信封是自己折的

是创意？还是家里没信封懒惰出门？我不清楚

室友也挤过来啦！哈哈？在等我开信吗？反正大家都＂烂熟^_^＂

所以我都不介意啦！

有点吃惊，看到很多照片。室友的反应是这人好有心！

对呀！我也这么觉得，后来竟然还把三年多前的＂不打不相识＂，＂那段恶作剧＂，慢慢演变成＂不熟到烂熟＂的故事说了一遍，我的twin 也听过啦！

Shin的反应就是，那个你请starbuck的？wilsern一直在重复的故事！

我的反应==，别提了！哈哈

其中一张后面有长长的讯息

他总会说＂好羡慕你！＂

可能他也认为野孩子不会想家，只想往外跑？甚至会忘记家乡的朋友

可是我很想，也很矛盾地告诉我朋友，我很想家，但我不会让自己回家

2016年3 月，如无意外，我就会回马，哈哈，我会练好体格，期待我们地沙巴kota kinabalu之挑战！

顺便回答你的问题，我今天受到咯！所以漂洋过海一个礼拜咯

最后想说，

突然发现，远远的一封信竟然是我一天的能量

原本以为远远被遗忘的你

突然很感激

这位答应一起＂看世界＂的兄弟

这几张名信片让我发现

不同的时间，我们到过相同的地点

体验不同的风景

唯独， 我们都会想起那片土地上有着对方欢笑的足迹

Family in Ireland

The feeling of being in a family

Today wasn't a normal night, i couldn't say how i feel 

but i know i am one of them

I know it is very hard for me to express and i am practising all the times, 

because i really want people to know me

i want to embrace simplicity

i used to talk to certain friend of mine when i have problem back in Malaysia

now i still do the same but knowing my friend is far away from me

the feeling is totally different

i feel insecure

want to appear strong yet learning not to let the weakess part of yours consume you

learning how to demand yourself but not stressing yourself

keep the mood to its balance but as a human, you know you can't ask for more

because you are human and you have to feel

The feeling now is i feel like family

there is no one judging you here

they let you who you want to be

every action they do

you gain energy

each and everyone are different

and that made each and every single of us " The Special One"

i am grateful i have the cheerful,positive Shin, caring, loving,adorable Gabby 

and observative, know- the- best of human nature Ben here with me.

I never know i am so loved until tonight

They tell me i am not alone.......

Thx for letting me as who i am.....

She wears a heart of an angel

Only to this specific girl, i won't mind doing anything

She doesn't wear any wings

she keeps low profile all the times, and you will never realize there is an angel beside you

Until her every small little details that she applied in your daily life

She run all the way just to get you a lab coat

Her laughter cheers up your day

She always want to make sure that you are not alone

She makes sure you get all your need before her

She loves doing reflection although it is not her fault

All and all

is more than enough to earn your grateful tear

just because you come to realize that she did everything 

sincerely

it is a unique feeling but only you can feel it when you really appreciate her existence in your life

and you come to realize how lucky you are as a person

maybe sometimes she doesn't know how to make you feel better

But somehow you feel that she care

and for me

this is just more than enough.....

and i will never ask more than that...

This is a similar post i put on 2 years ago when i know that she wear a heart of an angel....

Borneo dance

Today is the cultural day and I participated in the Borneo Dance. It was really great to have friends to come and support us. Although i was quite nervous and made some mistakes hre and there. But i do enjoy a lot.

Then, after class, i went out with my new housemates, Bern to buy some groceris. she is an interesting girl indeed. She can really talk and i believe throughout htat 4 hours, we didnt stop chitchatting!

Life- plan A?plan B?or no plan?

Today is Msoc election night.Some of us go there for free pizza? some of us go there for a post?some of us go there  to give support to someone....

With confidence, people take courage to stand in front to talk, some might just take it as no big deal and some even just shout," why vote for me?". Some complaint the election wasnt fair. Some might just disappointed for not getting what they want or what hey hope for, may be just because of that strong passion, he asked for re- election. May be he look too far, the thinking of the failure was unbearable.

There is no one that everyone will like. In your life, you got to meet someone who dislike you so people tend to seek for low profile ness as they don't want to be the topic of discussion. Criticism might notbe accepted   by all. So, no judging on anyone. Sometimes, the higher you aim, the harder you fall.

But, seriously, i do admire that spirit. Throughout the election, i was observing, and i have no idea this guy caught my attention,scripting on my newspaper, i repeated that sentences." How far did you plan? And how far will you go?" We never know what we will get or we don't and we might just invest a lot but ended up with nothing.We might need to get ready for plan B if thing doesn't go right. There is no certain for anything. I saw his nervousness before the result of election and right after, the disappointment twisted his face. I do admire that spirit and courage.

Almost the end of election,  the post for IT was still on nomination. All of a sudden, i have no idea what happened to me? Hormone rush? Getting inspired?Getting too high? I decided to go for it? I stood up, slowly walked to the front stage, in front of 300++( though i am not sure anyone entered the back of my retina that moment?) I forget what i said exactly but i remember i said " please vote for me!"

Back to my place, my heart was pounding hard, perhaps others can't feel my excitement, haha, afterall, just IT officer, why so excited about?I cant say my photography passion as strong my ex roommate ( who i think she is really pro),perhaps i just hope to find another home in UCD , maybe i am not homesick but i love to feel like there is a family for you wherever you are.Perhaps i just get inspired, you try you might fail,but without trying you definitely. Perhaps just simply with the mind thinking that " yeah, i want to do it!"and that word just push you for it? Perhaps, you know there are someone you looking forward to work with and spend mre time with.....

Weekend with a new housemate and my first new experience as a barber?haha

My previous housemate is a Malays so she find it necessary to pray with a Malays partner

Due to that reason, she finally decided to exchange room with a bumiputera

We feel sorry for that, though we communicate well, but still,we agreed with that

So, we didnt go anywhere this weekend and decided to help up with the shifting though it finally turned up we didnt help in anyway,haha

So, in the afternoon, Shin found her fringe getting longer, so assuming i am eligible as a " temporary barber", i helped her to cut it short

Well, she kept on repeating she have faith in me, andwithout additional statement that if it failed, then she might just clipped it on

LOL,obviously she was nervous that i will fail her.

before

after

i don't know whether it is a success or not but most importantly, she is satisfied!Haha

And, yeah, spending some time, i made this card for my Malays housemate.Although we only been with each other for a month, but occasionally some housemates talk made our friendship stronger and we hope that we still keep in touch with each other as i believe somehow it means something for stranger to bump into each other.

And i am really glad that she willing to take up Chinese as electives, perhaps one day we can talk to each other in Chinese?haha

Break into or Visit in Dublin Castle?

We went on an outing with my friend and "unknowingly" we enter the Dublin castle without payment.Lol

Dublin Castle is situated in the very heart of historic Dublin. In fact the city gets its name from the Dubh Linn or Black Pool (dubh = black), on the site of the present Castle Gardens and Coach House.

Dublin castle was built in year 1230 by King John .

Originally, it was built by Viking as purpose of defence against the Norman but now it is used for. any big event celebration or conference and when it is not in used, it is open for public visit.

We visit the state apartment under the tour guide.

We entered the throne room, the st patrick hall, the dining room, and the corridor?

may be i am not so interested in history,haha

Arthur Day

Arthur Day refer to annual series of music event wordwide to promote Guinness company.

We went to to town straight away after squash training and together we shared a small cup of beer,LOL

Actually, this event do organised in Kuala Lumpur as well, but shame to say, we never participate any of that in Malaysia.

Every year, Arthur Day will be organised on Thursday as this is known as the tradisional student night.

The night scenery in Dublin is breathtaking

Application of GARDA aka police service in ireland and another housemate talk?lol

Spending half of the day to apply for GARDA card,nearly being rejected because we didn't have the evidence for medical insurance. While everyone was mumbling and the moment the volcany was ready to erupt, the manager finally came out and gave approval for us to proceed with our Garda application....Nevertheless, not all of us complete the application on that day because one of my friends was claimed that she have fingerprint so might need to get the result the next day and the computer system need time to process it.

Well, there is no outing that ended without taking a few photos that might satisfied you.So, here you go.

oh, ya, our 2.59 euro baguatte

paiseh lo, angle problem? pull your face longer!

stereoscope!

Hmm, come to the night, haha, i have no idea why, but since three of us live together, we have endless topic to talk about.Even the same one repeated over and over again, we never get bored.

So, tonight conversation started all because, while Gaby and me was trying to enjoy the baguatte that we left this afternoon, Shin trying to get us into conversation so that we can eat slower and she have enough time to prepare for her dinner.

So, here the conversation started

"let's talk about the good and bad of each and everyone of us ba!"

start from opinion on Shin,

"hmm, downside on the change of her facial expression when she is not satisfied with something?"

" oh, ya, but i enjoy spending time with you, you are simple and it is definitely the good point,not everyone can do that no matter how much they wish they are"

so, how about Gaby?

" well, actually, errr, her good point is her bad point as well"

here, i am going to add in some point that i left out in the conversation, indeed, she is always an angel tht i would like to describe.

She is kind- hearted and it is definitely the good point 

it benefits everyone around you

Afterall, who don't enjoy spending time with someone like that

But, just a little bit hope of please give yourselves more than what you give the others.

and about the "slow" that we mentioned, actually, i don't really mind when i come to realise that the best scenery that you can see when you do things slowly.

And, about me, all the bad points that i did expect

Stubborn!stubborn !and stubborn!

Well, may be i should admit that i am but sometimes i do look at the situation, just that sometimes i do insist on something that i think is right and i am just

just too lazy to give explanation to others why i do so.

And, may be sometimes i am really stubborn and i am really sorry for that

And, too much secret for myself?

haha, sometimes yes sometimes no?

may be i just don't have the habit of sharing

and sometimes i just find a better way to deal it for myself

and again, sometimes i am just too lazy to explain

........

Mooncake that redolent.....

Autumn festival is coming, the prominent difference here is that you hardly see moon cake that resemble reunion here, and you started missing the bunch of small mischievous kids who play lantern in your neighborhood.

We went to the Asian market the day before and this is the only places that sell Asian groceries,. And we saw the mooncakes. Looking at each other, we all know that it evoke our feeling of smoldering.

Yeah, we miss home and despite it is something that we categorized as " unnecessary expenses" , still, we bought one. How can the second most important festival in Chinese calendar be left out?

That night, we ate the mooncake together, we watched the "the worst student" by Chong Shen Zhong.

This morning i woke up realizing the wind was turbulent and the alarm alerted us that today was definitely not a smart choice for outing.

However, despite nay predicament, we decided today is a day for photo capturing because my housemate Shin decided to take part in the photo capturing contest to win a mini ipad.

Gabby' photography technique is so corking.

 

Then, we went to join Gaby for the Mass organised in the Latin church. Well, too bad, it started to drizzle. And as expected, the wind was extraordinary stong and too bad my umbrella overturned, Gosh!my 25 euro! And, still, i get well, i hope i wont get cold tonight but i really feel sleepy today....am i sick? i hope not....

One day out

Today is the second time i went to Dublin town with my housemates right after class

Before we went there, i took some time capturing some nice photos around school compound while they went to James Joyce library to photostat something. Well, i definitely not going to walk around the whole college compound as the walking tour will take about one and a half hour. UCD is the largest university in ireland and famous for its research institution

The largest pool in UCD, right in front of its is the O'Realli Hall where all the big events organised.

Well, you can rent bicycle in UCD if you really love cycling!

THe walking way is still under construction.

Then, we rushed to the bus stop. It was drizzling.The wind was quite strong and wow, the umbrella overturned, so fragile.

We went to Ulster bank to open an account, and the next station was post office, to post a postcard to my sister as her birthday is coming.

Then, we went to the town only Asian market to buy our groceries
