Today's topic is about pasar malam.. Wat is pasar malam actually? Juz reverse it and name it in english.. It's called Night Market.. the market which operates only at night~ LoL..
How come i will mention about this? Juz mainly bcoz i went to PM juz now wif mum.
I've lots to say about it actually.. It isnt my first time going there, please~ But, bcoz i've been visiting countless times, i've seen more n more everytime going there..
First thing i've spotted and wanna comment is *cleanliness*.. Phew~.. I know, it's hard to maintain 100% cleanliness & hygenic level.. However, at times when i look at the food they're selling, indeed they are delicious & attractive. But, NOT with the flies all over.. surrounding the food they're going to sell. My first reaction was to avoid n get away from those irritating flies. At the same time, i sympathize with the innocent sellers. The flies simply destroy the nice-looking, eye-capturing food, pulling me from buying them. Hm.. Avoidable circumstances.. No choice..
The next thing i noticed was the way they managed N cooked the food~ This time is their own actions.. they cant blame anything or anyone. Hm, the cleanliness level is juz about 60% perhaps! Slightly above the mid-level.. How come? Bcoz they dun even mind to have their own rubbish bin ( they can choose to have a big, black plastic bag ) to throw the wastes.. And with their hands so dirty, touching here n there.. still, they could use the same 10 fingers to hold the food again. Hm.. No No No.. i detest these type of food management.. Haha.. I'll juz deduct marks from the spot n also remind myself to be cautious everytime i buy food anywhere. Unless if they din let me see that, perhaps i might still be one of their customers. *truthfully humanly speaking*
No matter how far i wanted to comment about it.. still, the main point is still related to cleanliness... One muz adopt proper hygiene.. If not, business will be lagging & no use operating without customers..

Went to batu pahat dis afternoon.. Yeah, spent roughly 5 hrs there.. at first, thought of juz doing window shopping. But, in the end, i bought a book.. which is by using my mum's money. But not cash oh. She paid using her card. LoL..
This book .. i've been eyeing on it since months ago. Haha.. however, juz cant bear to pay so much for that book (RM54.95). So, at last, i found it.. the one n only book on the shelf.. so lonely there. So, i decided to purchase it.


U guys muz be thinking.. wat kinda book dat could have attracted & captured my attention so much right? It's juz a management book.. roughly about Wal-mart.. A super gigantic retailer in the States of America. I wanna find out, wat's so different between this big organization & others.. =)
Im getting more interested in this type of subject.. like marketing & retailing.. management.. they're quite captivating to me as time goes on.
Watever it is, reading more isnt a harm..
But im wondering.. government encourages us to read more.. how come, the prices of those books are still so expensive? Of coz, they are imported stuff, but, couldnt they reduce the tax a little more? Kek-sim la.. Those books are not very affordable at times.. Kinda frus when i think about it.

This afternoon, I was ransaking a box of cd's as well as to neaten them up.. bcoz all got messed up after placing them so long at one corner.
Yeap.. at the same time, orderly named each cd.. to avoid making mistakes after opening! I open each cd using my laptop.. and eventually saw my past photos..
Almost all taken during the sixth form when i havent step into UM yet.
I found them so memorable and well, decided to put some here.. juz to share wif ya all~
this was taken during May 2006~ celebrated sf's bday at jaY-bee~ gosh.. juz a year ago.. but seems like it had been so long ago!



Next.. lets see... hm, took wif my form teacher during f6~ yeah, we celebrated her burfdae wif real big surprises! She burst out in tears.. my luvly teacher.. =)not shocking at all, i've been msging her on every important occassions! Such as teacher's day.. hari raya~.. Dat's for sure..!!




Well, for this one.. ~ was in sch.. my form6 school.. which i hate it the 1st moment i stepped inside. But as time went by, i grew to luv it. Bcoz the teachers changed my mind towards d school.. great teachers!! They added colours to our sch-life! Im missing them a LOT!! especially, mr.matthew~

forgot to tell ya.. i'm missing those days when we wore uniform to school!!

and this is d one took perhaps, few weeks after entering each of our respective universities & colleges..~


Da da da.. the last one.. which is the most current photo comparing to those, as ya can see.. my curly hair.. perhaps, months after entering UM..



Yeah.. I admit that could be seen changes in me, myself. Internal & external included in. I think as for the outlook, i think i've been prospering as in, body size. Haha.. but, gladly, it aint dat serious! Not dat obvious rite? And, not to say prettier.. but, doesn't look dat pale & dull as in the past?!? *wondering if it's true*
Internally, happy to say.. i've more broaden view.. better mind of thinking & glad dat ive come so far when i can judge more things at different stages. Dats true, bcoz studying in a city, tends to change our thoughts. Also, having different frenz can also colours up our lifestyles...
Most significantly, never follow wat's BAD. Enjoy the GOOD ones..

Suddenly have the urge to write sumting here. After watching dat singapore drama.. it triggers me to write..

Women, ladies, gals~ in short, females like to think a LOT~
We tend to make little fuss over a very small matter. And, dats women..
Yeah, one who can have a baby.. dats a fortunate thing! But, when there are too much trouble over taking care n spending a lot on the child, she tends to feel dats so problematic. On the other hand, when husband has low sperm counts, or infertile.. one gets so upset bcoz she doesnt get to have a baby of her own. Hm.. really a double-sided thinking.
Once, there's someone told me.. a woman is too emotional & tends to think more compared to man. He took a simple example to make it a connection.

- females.. lurve to bring bags along wif them wherever they go. There are a lot of things inside the bags, such as combs, lipsticks, make-up sets, coin purses, hair accessories & etc.
- they feel safer bringing along in case, they need it~
- all these purposes of bringing along are related wif our -thinking-a-lot- attitude.
Still remember, I asked W-H-Y?.. Then, the answer i got was..
-women think too much already! They are afraid of this & that..
Well, come to think of it.. i, myself as a female, that's a norm.. perhaps! Im that kinda person.. will eventually think more that usual..
At times, that's good. At other time, dats not really good for health. Will cause us to get old faster den the actual day.. Haha. No matter how convincing the fact is, i will still be myself. When it's time to think a lot, i will do it without hesitating. The more we think, the more we pushes our brain to work, dont that seem better?..
Yeah... still beating about the bush. And, dats female.. *think a lot*

In addition.. here's a health info - the feel-good food..
* scramble up a smile means eating eggs can boost positivity. They improve concentration & help to stabilise moods!
* yellow bananas are also great for mood too!! They are rich in tryptophan which turns into serotonin(a mood booster) when it is absorbed by the brain~ could help to cheer up one's mood..
Yeah.. here 2 real healthy food to make us feel much better each day!!
Have them regularly to avoid having bad moods ya.. hehe.. =)
They're reliable info!!

I've think about it very thoroughly. I should be staying happy & try to do sumting instead of frowning n doing ntg. Yeah.. i guess by doing sumting unexpected will surely make him feel surprising & smile.. Thx pals there for giving me advises. I've came to a solution since yday, before reading ya comments.
Perhaps.. that's the only way i can do to make him happy.. feel warmth again!
Hopefully, the solution works!!! Hmmm... it's a secret~ Hehe.. :X
The warmest msg i've received is from devil, he msged me soon after reading this blog once i've posted it here. Hey, thx for always sending a short warm msg everytime u noe im upset over something.. Dats really wat we called true friend.
Well, hasn't been doing anything good since d days i've been back!
Merely watching or could say catching up those almost out-of-date taiwanese dramas which my sis had lent it from her fren, been craving on snacks as well as doing my routine work- blogging.

Sometimes, blogging is a healthy hobby. At times, we can have d opportunity to share a lot wif frenz, especially when they arent at ur side, when they need ur blog to tell them more bout ur updates. Also, we can pour out our difficulties which may in turn they will give ur alternatives or solutions for the probs! And lots more..

On the other hand.. there are cons for blogging~ We tend to write all in it and we dont have secrets of our own. N' gradually.. that blogger will feel better typing all inside rather den to share his/her probs with frenz around~ he/she may become quieter, dun really like to talk more.. and dat's harmful to health.
Therefore, hopefully blogging dun bring harm to me.. =)

Actually.. i've been troubled by a problem. It isnt my own problem. It's a problem of a close friend. But, however hard i've tried to accompany him & make him happy, still he couldnt get over this sad matter.

He's sad. He just cant get over this.. He's trying hard to forget dis reality, however, in the end, when he think of it... He would still be feeling unhappy.
Im sad when i see him like this. I know he's trying hard to stay happy.. And i know, it's never easy to forget sumting sad so easily.

But, how can i help him? Do by telling him to face the reality, by saying encouraging words help him to get over dis? Dat doesnt work at all. I've tried. Im really quite down whenever he mention it now and then, saying he still couldnt get over it. I know he needs time to recuperate his bleeding heart.
How could i make him sees d sunshine again? Makes him feel dat im able to cheer him up? Suddenly admit im such a failure in consoling frenz..
Wat else can i do?.....
I dun wish to see him like dat.......

Yoyoyo.. bek to dis own sweet home again..

all dat were my daily routine while i was in dat real small but hectic city!!
to conclude, i had insufficient sleep.. i mean, irregular sleep! All tunggang terbalik.. sleep late n woke up late too!!!
But, the 4 days were undoubtedly happy moments~ unforgettable ones.. truly superb!!
No matter how far we go, how long we're away from home, how fun it is to be in other places.. we will still return to this own sweet n comfort home again. It's like a journey. We will in the end go bek to our own starting point.. In fact, this kind of life dont have to be so long. Just have to be short but fun.. that's more den enough.
Life in kay-eLL is actually too busy.. everyone got up, go to work, caught in congested traffic jam everyday & bek home for dinner or rest and await again for the next day to come.. To relieve stress, they choose to go clubbing, drinking alcohol wif frenz or party-ing.. those lifestyles indeed have to spend lotsa $ & energy. If im happened to be in kL for work next time, i guess i wont be so crazy like them. I prefer peaceful atmosphere.. perhaps, listen to songs at any restaurants or have tea wif frenz normally, chat casually. dat's already enuff..

Phew.. How's ur mother's day celebration?
Well.. for me n my sis.. We did nothing very special actually. We bought a lipsick for mum.. yeah, it's a very normal gift for her.. And, on the day itself.. which is on Sunday.. we actually cooked few dishes for dinner.. invited my godmum n sis' godmum ~ the table consisted of mum, dad, grandma, godmums, sis n i~..

And we cooked a lot actually..
mango curry chicken, sugarcane cuttlefish, fried capsicum, brocolli & mushroom and the so-called ABC soup ( corn & pork)

Hey, soup was cooked by mum.. and me and my sis did the others.. In fact, cooking really wasnt too tough nor too easy.. Gotta control the fire~, as well as to prepare all the different ingredients.. of coz, not to forget proper seasoning.. (*im poor in dat* but i learnt sumting after all)

And the funniest part was... We followed all the details in the recipe book~ And, gotta buy all the ingredients stated in the book! The even hilarious part was.. we went n bought curry leaves..! Where actually we can pick some from aunt's house.. no nid to fork out money at first.. so silly rite?.. >.<

No one's complaining about any awful taste at the end.. no negative comments~ haha.. The dinner was juz exactly a nice one~ not very delicious nor too lousy.. =) Thank God..

Wow.. yesterday finally a fren called me up and asked me out for a tea at nite. Well, dats somehow very surprising to me. Haha.. Hm, and of course i went and meet 2 of them up and chatted for almost 2 hrs.. telling me bout their life in their own studying places.. one in NUS, Singapore.. and the other one in KUSTEM, Kelantan if im not wrong.. both have different lifestyles.. both have different challenges to encounter.. and both have completely different studying environment. Whereas for me.. i think im in the middle ~ i mean, average lo.. simply not too bad and not too good.. But, i just love the way im experiencing rite now.. =)

Sumting very odd happened juz the time when we wanna pay for our drinks at the mamak stall..
When we took our money out and asked for "kira".. dat malay guy took of coz he took our money and went to have find coins as our changes, but.. he came bek with the same notes we gave to him earlier. He told us.. someone has settled our bills. ^SOMEONE?^ we were like.. staring at each other in amazed.. who's dat?, we asked... He pointed to a table wif 4 chinese guys.. maybe in their mid-twenties.. We wanted to pay them bek.. althou were juz 3 glasses of drinks which equal to rm3.50.. But immediately a fren spoke.~ N mentioned dat one of them actually bought a new car and wanted to give us a treat.. in fact, a treat to everyone who appeared dat nite..

Do ya believe in such lame excuses? I don't. Truthfully don't find any reasons why i should believe them. N well, 3 of us were looking and doing eye-contact. And, we got up from our seats, wanted to leave.. but, yeah.. i said -thank you- with a smile to dat guy.. Dat was to show politeness.. Immediately i got to my car, drove alone, was cautious, kept looking at the back to check out if any car's tailing behind. Haha.. i think i was imagining too much.. But, dat was for my own safety.. =) At last, i reached home safely..

Yeah, dats the weirdest thing i've ever seen after so many times yum-cha-ing wif frenz in dat area.. Maybe u can say it's lucky dat they have the interest in giving us a treat.. but, dont u think it's somehow very odd?..
Im thankful as well as frightful.. LoL..

As usual.. din do anything much today~ wat a meaningless one huh?.. I dun have the intention to become so lazy.. but, well.... i've got no choice.. all i can do is try to do anything dat needed my assistance..
Yeah, changed the fish tank as soon as i got up from bed.. oOopZz, i mean after i brushed teeth, wahsed face n changed my attire.. Then gone my half day ady. Coz i woke up almost 11am.. dats too ridiculous rite? For a gal.. shouldn't be so lazy.. should NOT be living such lifestyles.. Will be regarded as useless and as lazy as a pig.. haha..
Well, i will try to wake up earlier if i could..
Yeah, juz started to catch up wif a somehow very popular book since few years ago. Was given to me by my auntie. And, i was wondering how come i would abandon it few years ago after reading few pages.. Maybe i dont have the interest yet. And now, the words in the book makes me wanna read more as i began to read few front pages.. *rich dad, poor dad*.. Many had recommend this book to frenz.. and is told it's very popular among business people huh?.. Ya know, when i got this book, it was in the year 2003.. how time flies!!..
There's something meaningful which is like this..
- a nice car and a nice house do not necessarily mean u're rich or u know how to make money~
- life is the best teacher of all. Most of the time, life does not talk to u. It just sort of pushes u around. Each push, is like.. *wake up, there's something i want u to learn~
So far, these 2 short sentences inspired me a lot.. Hm, they are juz like .. real motivation.. althou juz few words, but.. i know these words may bring huge significance in assisting me into managing a better life of myself..
Don't they inspire u too?..
Hm, juz wanna share these wif u guyz.. Ntg much actually. i will continue reading.. And perhaps will share more of them here again some other days..
Quite tired rite now.. i think it's time to sleep..

First blog in blogspot.. I luv blogging.. Hope dis new blog site will add colours to my future blogs.. And hope ya' all enjoy reading updates of me here..
