What does BEAUTIFUL defines?
It is not pretty.
It is not gorgeous.
It is not that simple after all.
To me, it means more than that.
This is how I describe it.
Beautiful stands for
B rave
E legant
A ttentive
U ntiring
T houghtful
I mpressive
F lexibility
U nbeatable
L ively
Beautiful encompasses every elements of good morale values which embrace all of a person's positive values. This feeling comes after I watched CNN Heroes - a TV programme and award giving ceremony to the brave people all over the world, who have sacrifice themselves for others who need lending hands.
I was deeply touched and felt that beautiful humans are not judged just by the appearances, but with their inner strengths and capabilities to do what's best to the needies.
That's the way we say it as truly, BEAUTIFUL.

Mumbai Attacks in India which happened yesterday night left me in questions.
Why do they wanna take innocent lives away by attacking and bombing hotels, restaurants and railway station when all they want is to confront is the government?
The foreign tourists, residents and all the Mumbaikars are so innocent in this frightful incident.
I begin to keep asking.. WHY, WHY and WHY?
I guess all of us have the same queries in minds, too.
You know what? The first question the terrorists entered into the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels was : WHo are the Americans and British people? They wanted THEM first.
This is cruel in the sense that the T wanted to gain attention from US about their attacks.
This is so not JUSTFUL at all..
The PM of Japan described it as despicable and vicious acts.

I was sitting by the TV set since yesterday, the moment I heard from my dad about this incident. I tuned into CNN and kept myself updated every second about every move of the terrorists. What's the motive behind this? There is still a big Question Mark. Heard that it is related to religion.

At that moment, I had the sudden thought :
How do these people feel that ultimate juncture?
The hostages in the hotels
The family caught in the Jewish centre
The Mumbaikars
The hotel owner and employees
The family members of the victims
The soldier and rescue teams
The on-site reporters (risking their lives for the on-time news)
The Prime Minister of India - Manmohan Singh
The financial hub of India - Mumbai

That is the one action, that have left such a big impact on more than one person, one community, one population and others in the world.
My deep condolences to the victims and their families.
Pray that Malaysia will remain peaceful forever.

Sorrie for not updating my blog for the past 1 week. Been busy with personal stuffs and failed to gain acess to wi-fi lately.
Well... Let me briefly share whatz up with me the past 1 week..
I've been enjoying to the fullest as well as been resting a lot.. sleeping of course! I guess I sleep more than enough (suffeicient sleep = 8 hours).. So, mine will be about 10 hours per day! DOn't envy. It's just a break away from hectic finals that lasted 3 weeks long~

Finally.. I get to enjoy lotsa tasty food.. thanks to Raymond's friend's birthday celebration.. we get to try the new cafe..
Location : Niu Zhe Xui (niu che shui), Jln Ara Damansara
Cafe : FullHouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe







Next, I finally had the chance to try the new Baozi outlet!
To be truthful, it may not be as colourful as the ones that MeiEe forwarded in the mail to us, but I can say.. It's all worth to try. It's so new to us..
A little variation in life isn't that bad after all, right?
Place of Origin: Taiwan

Hurray!! The exam ordeal is finally over... I'm totally freed from the battles...!!

Everyone would normally suggest some events right after the last paper. So, it's not an exceptional for me. Coz my collegemate asked us to join them in the Jogoya japanese buffet - ladies 50% week!.. And so... without hesitation, I agreed.
My roommates both joined the group too..~ a total 10 of us............ departed from UM at around 1pm today.We reached Starhill Gallery around 1.50pm, just punctually to be at Jogoya to start the buffet at 2pm and it lasted for 2 hours. I shall let the pictures tell more...

The day is finally over... Delicious food can't been seen.. They are all in my stomach. Will be digested into pool of 'poo' tmr morning...

That day, when I was typically and unusually down..
Due to the stress and all the unspeakable tensions of exams.. Did not do well in 2nd paper....
I went out wif Raymond and his sis to Midvalley.
His sis wanted to drop by at MPH to search for few Law books.
So, I also stepped in and without any seconds of hesitation, I walked directly to the Self-Help and Motivational section.

Well, I picked up a book with the title sorta written "Rules in Life". I flipped into a page and eventually the topic is "Do not look in the past", which means telling us not to broad over what has happened. At the very seconds, I felt that the God is telling me to let go and let it be since it has already happened and no point regretting, asking questions like "What if I... or I wished I....".
Then, I turned to another anonymous page which had the topic "BE positive" written there.
I realised that it is somehow very true that the God do not want to see me in relentless tone. So, He is asking me to look everything at different angles.
The 2 topics somehow can be said to be closely related to what I was feeling that juncture. The 2 sentences had made me to be brave and not to give up..
After that, I moved on the search for another book. There it came the "Dare to Fail". I've always wanted to read it bcoz of its frequent appearance in newspapers promoting it.

So, this time I opened it and I searched for a section written "failures are just another step to near success" sort like this. I read few pages and I felt better after that. I truly think that it's a book worth it to read especially when we're down and need to release tension....
Last but not least, I also took the chance to read Obama's written book "The Audacity of Hope". Audacious means to be bold and daring. I read the first few pages of the preview section. I fall in love with this book because I feel that there's a need to comprehend what the world is becoming especially in the largest and most powerful Western region..

Well, reading books indeed brings us to another world full of hope and anticipation..
There's a lot more to discover besides probing over what has happened...

The last 2 posts were so short. But in fact, short doesn't mean I'm insincere..
Well, exams just started this morning. I have 4 more papers to go.
I know time flies fast. So, I never hoped it to pass quicker.
It is just adequate for me to revise and look through everything each day and treasure each minute.
I will still rest and take a nap when I'm tired after reading all the notes. It's a norm.
I will still eat and no worries. My days gone just like the normal days.
Most importantly, I must work hard... go through with it - with a normal heart!!
^^

Mention about weekend, isn’t it has to be loads of funs?

Although it’s currently study week for most of the varsity students, but I’m sure I ought to relax a while before I get back to revision.
Haven’t you heard of… All work and no play makes Rachael a dull girl? Haha~
Yohoo!!! Good news for me…
On Friday, I managed to obtain another 2 stamps from Guardians. Another step closer to my Paddington bear!! I’m doing it for real this time.
What on earth I had purchased from G? Basically, I went there with 2 motives – get my face toner and some vitamins for me.
I have a story to tell regarding Vitamins! I went to the shelves looking for my Vitamin C. So, this lady in mid-50 came to me, as an advisor regarding my lookout for vitamins. She assisted me and spent approximately 20mins to give me advises, telling her personal experiences, stories of how essential for us to have these minerals in our bodies.
OMG! This Aunty Nancy even mentioned that by the first look on my face, I look unhealthy. *sob* Actually, she was reluctant to stop talking. Luckily, there was a customer needing her help. So, she gotta stop. But, before that, she even wrote her name and phone number on a piece of paper, telling me to contact her if I’m facing any queries regarding which minerals to take.
How kind of her!
After that, I went for movies with Raymond. We took the 7pm slot, watching High School Musical 3. Hehe. It was a nice movie. Nana.. yeap, I love the songs they composed! Raymond said he likes this better if compared to Mamma Mia! But, I basically think that these 2 has their own uniqueness. Coz HSM is for teens and MM is suitable for the adults. They both has different target markets. So, I love both.!


On Saturday, I went to sing-K with Raymond’s friends. Those working mid-adults. Hehe. But, I usually don’t have the habit of grabbing the mics and sing. I normally sit and listen more. LoL. So, all of us, 8people booked the largest room which consist of a corner of to play ps2, a washroom and equipped with a large tv screen with 4 mics. To be honest, it was my first time in such a big room. Maybe I’m too ‘kiasu’. Hehe.
What I wanna say is, they are hilarious. They not only sang Chinese songs, but also picked Malay, English, Cantonese and even Hokkien!
I enjoyed a lot, eating and listening to those few sweet voices from my graduated collegemates.
And that’s how I spent my weekend…..
