Singapore Day 2

As for Day 2 in Singapore, Nuffnang has arranged a full day tour for us and basically we were divided into four groups and I was assigned to Group D. Raine, Eugene, Pinky and Vernice were the staff in charge for our group and I would say that they did a great job on bringing us around and showing us interesting places in Singapore! We were brought to places like Singapore Flyer, Esplanade, Merlion Park, Clarke Quay, Singapore Royal Selangor Pewter Museum, Bugis Street, MINT Museum of Toys, and last but not least Orchard Road! I have to acknowledge that Singapore is a clean and beautiful country and no doubt the enforcement of law is efficient and effective for making it such a great country. Although the country is small in size, but apparently Singapore manage to surpass some other bigger country and easily Singapore deserves the title for a leading global hub for business and investment. Well, enough of talking and lets proceed to the pictures shall we^^

真言

DSC_0010 天空又下起了雨
我沉默已久的思绪又再度的涌起.
乌云把我的房里都涂上了一种熟悉却被忘淡已久的颜色
以往的我对它唯有恐惧和讨厌
当下的我却很感谢它把我的内心给唤醒了.

好久都没有这样的感觉了
说来也奇怪, 但感觉上我的心好像很久都没感觉了
我忘了如何去感动, 忘了如何把心开着去对人
也许那就叫所谓的自我保护吧
时间久了便变成了一种习惯
为了的是不再被伤害
但一旦累积久了就会迷失自我.

感觉上很矛盾
但也身不由已的接受了这个为了生存的理念
生活就是如此.

离开了家开始认识了多些的人
也开始接触到了不同的事与物
开始受到伤害, 也开始学会如何去面对
不得已之下把真正的自己给戴上了面具
也学会了不必开心也能笑着面对人.

开始觉得好累
好想回到最初及天真的我
但那是不可能的
因为这就是成长.

我何时才可以回到田边,再次地带着我的心真真的笑.

Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards

Nuffnang has gathered the bloggers from 4 countries which consist of Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Philippine and came up with this Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards that was held in Pan Pacific Singapore Grand Ballroom on 23rd of October 2009. Thanks to Nuffnang I was given the chance to be in this great event and it was an awesome experience that I would never forget. Nuffnang crew did a great job on planning and preparing for this huge event that consist of more than 400 people and it was a total success as I was amaze that the event went smoothly and everyone was having great and enjoyable time that night. Not to forget there were plenty of famous bloggers such as Kennysia and Xiaxue that were there that night. It was great to be around the top bloggers and see what they have achieved this far. I certainly took the chance to learn and review on what I need to improve so that I could make my blog better in the future. Again, thanks to Nuffnang for making this happen as bloggers from different countries get to gather and meet up each other in real life and that overrule the previous concept that normally bloggers just get to know each other in Internet. I appreciate the effort that was put in by the Nuffnang crew and yes I do love Nuffnang^^ Well before we proceed to the pictures, actually I took quite a lot of pictures that night and I was wondering whether I should put all of them in my blog. After seeing the pictures, I notice that everyone was looking breath taking and to be fair, I decided to upload all of them one shot in this post! So well I hope you guys will like and enjoy the pictures and yea Nuffnang rocks!

Yuen Steamboat

I am sure students that study or stay around Sunway area should have heard of Yuen Steamboat as it is famous for affordable price and it’s chicken wings! I paid my first visit there around one month ago and follow by second visit there 2 weeks ago with Robb and Zach. I fall in love with the signature chicken wings as during my both visit there I had a lot of it and it seems to appear in my mind whenever I am hungry! Even now when I am just trying to describe the taste of it, my saliva  starting to drop^^ Haha.. Anyway, it is a nice place where friends can gather up and have some time off having some chat and steamboat at the same time. Looking forward to my 3rd visit there next month^^ Anyone would like to join?

DSC_0005

Digi D’Ultimate Birthday Bash

I attended the Digi D’Ultimate Birthday Bash at Bar Celona in Sunway Pyramid two weeks ago and as I remembered I had fun enjoying the performances and not to forget I had tons of their free flow Smirnoff Vodka that tasted so great with coke! This was also the first time I party with a close friend of mine , Linnet, in KL that came all the way down from Malacca and well I can say that Digi Birthday Bash was quite a good choice for the “opening ceremony” of the bro’s that used to party in Pure Bar when I was back in Malacca Campus. It has been a year plus since we last went to club together and this Digi Birthday Bash does remind me of the great old time when I was back in foundation time. Although the rest of the members were not around, yet it felt great to catch up with Linnet and have some free drinks together^^ Opps, don’t get me wrongly, I am not exactly a clubbing guy but I just enjoy the environment and club is a good place to burn some fat in terms of dancing and so on. Again, I know it sounds wrong but please don’t get me wrongly aright! Haha.. Enough of talking, the more I explain the weirder it sounds. Lets proceed to the pictures part shall we^^

Back in hometown

Finally after so long I am back in hometown again^^ Except that this time I came back driving in the middle of the night where I departed Cyberjaya around 4am in the morning and reached Kedah around 8am. I found that driving in this kind of hour indeed are nicer as there is no heat and disturbing sunlight from the sun and less traffic compare to normal hour. So the first thing I did when I got back here was I went all the to the paddy field to grasp some fresh air. Seriously the air is nicer here compare to KL, not polluted and there is this unique scent of home^^ After that I picked Ning from her home and we went for the famous Lee&Lee Wan Tan Mee. Aww, it just taste so right and again, there is this taste of home! We even went for second round of DimSum after the breakfast and Rm50 just gone like this. Yet it feels satisfying! Stay tune for more as the next stop would definitely be on Penang as that is the best place for food and it is consider my second home for shopping and foods! Hopefully I can find some nice durian when I am there! Sweet^^ Cheers and have a nice day~DSC_0015
