The one week holiday Part 2

Part 2 basically nothing special.. Me and my family decided to go Desa Park City to look around and of course the main reason is to bring Terry for a walk. I guess many dogs would have appreciate this place a lot  because that's like one in a million where you can find a place that allowed bring pets. 

Desa Park City is once an abandoned quarry site, but now it transform to a beautiful place where community, public places and neighborhood conveniences converge to make residents everyday living special and rewarding. Living there is undeniably a blessing because everyone looks so healthy there which you can see they are people jogging, cycling, basketball, soccer, kite, picnic and what not.. The environment there could help every people to build up a healthy lifestyle as well as foster family. 

The picture are all taken by iPad.. Sorry for the super bad quality!








The picture below is actually a father playing basketball with his 2 little son.. They are located somewhere below the light.. The reason of taking this picture is... its really sweet to see a picture like that. Usually i will only see this in the TV.. 


So after the walk we leave Terry at Pet Shop over there for grooming and we went dinner at a Thai restaurant. Its called Soi Thai if i am not mistaken. Erm.. the advertisement board outside is really attracting so we choose this. Actually my mum does.. But the food its just normal, and the drinks its sort of expensive and it taste weird.. 

We ordered a dessert as well.. its... forgot what it called but is the sweet potato with some jack fruits. Its a little too sweet..So you might want to try other stuff when you go here..






Overall a fun day for both the people and the dog.. Strongly recommend people who have pets to come over here. =)

The one week holiday Part 1

Finally i am here to blogging about this. Getting busier these days. So, after a month of semester break, i got back to college for 3 days and here is another one week of holiday. Haha.. But i definitely spend my time wiser in  this week compare to the one month.

Well, basically i am just meeting few close friend and spend some quality time with them.

EVANGELINA BONG  (click into her blog)

High school mates. Its been a while since we last met and there are like a tons of things we need to update each other. So we went Levain to had brunch and just talk talk and talk. Nothing much i can said about her because mostly the content that we talked about is private! haha.. But she is having a pretty good life out there, i am happy for her. =)

Anyway, among all the outings this is definitely the one that has more chatting. We just hanging there for more than 4 hours talking non stop. Sometimes its really good to just do something like this, its relaxing and chilling. Even Eva said so. =D

Chicken Lasagna 

Some sort of sandwich served with potato wedges. Its really nice!! Strongly recommended!!  

The pretty~





The N group  (Click into Jutine's blog)

Another days that meeting Justine, Kaisin and the long lost friend Kok Xiao Qian!
Since Justine has been craving for Uncle Jang for such a long time, so we went there for lunch. I don't really like Korean food because.. i tried kimchi soup before and it just taste weird and tasteless for me. But Uncle Jang has totally change my mind after i tried it! i actually love it a lot!!

It look like this when it haven cooked. So a set contain cabbage, rice cake which is nian gao, chicken, sweet potato and... thats it! with the sauce.. It looks simple but its really yummy!!

The waiter will mix all the things for you.. so all you need to do is just sit there and eat. 


Please do not misunderstanding! I covered Justine face because she doesn't like how she looks in this picture but unfortunately this is the only pic i have.. Haha..


We went Setia Walk after that, only XQ went there before so she suggested this place for us to hanging around. Its a very very beautiful place!! I really love there because.. Its a combination of outdoor and indoor, i think they manage to build with this concept very well. 


This picture is in my camera cause some of the pic are taken by iPad, i wondering why all of us are looking at different place. HAHA.. I like this pic a lot! 


The long lost friend KXQ!
After a few hour of snapping picture out there, we went La Kaffa for a drinks! Never seen this brand before thou.. I think they are well known for coffee but i don't drink any coffee so i order Taro Milk Tea with Pudding (because the girl there recommended so) but it taste awful for me.. But what my friend ordered is quite nice anyway. 

So after all the nice picture where you see we were standing close to each other for pictures, this is what we actually did in fact!!

All thanks to Apple!! lol.. Its just kidding.. i love Apple a lot!! You probably wondering whats the chicken or bird hand that KXQ is trying to act.. haha... i have no idea.. EPIC PIC OF THE DAY!

A little story : 
" So the special things that happened when i out with N group is i show them my very first song that i wrote, compose and  sing by me!!!! I was so nervous because my mum and sis always said i sounds sucks and noisy all those stuff but i got a really good feedback from them!! Not only 3 of them and my cousin YG as well! I am so so so so happy because.... i have been loving music for a very long time and now i finally had a little pieces of my own production and they said its NICE!! i am not trying to show off or what but i am being really grateful for 4 of them, for inspired me to be more confident of this song! THANK YOU!!!!! I will work hard on it and hopefully will be posing here in my blog one day! Thank you.. This song and the support from you guys meant a lot to me!"

If i am not working tomorrow I will definitely finish this post instead of separate this into Part 1 and 2. But i will complete it ASAP! Stay Tuned!!

Puppy love story

A lot of people have been dreaming of having a really cute puppy or any other types of pet and naively think that life will become a lot more interesting with a pet. However, i am not claiming that raising pet is very stupid but i would said that its a really huge responsibility

If you have been follow my instagram, you probably knew that i have a really cute poodle and its name is TERRY!! Terry is a birthday gift for my sister, we have it for like.. 2 or 3 years ago.. My sister insist that she will do all the "babysitting" role and stuff.. but still ended up doing by me or mum most of the time.. 


So this is the picture him when he is still a little baby.. (i prefer to use the word he instead of it) So adorable, cute, fluffy, small, innocent and furry!! It looks exactly like a teddy bear that's why we call him TERRY which inspired from TEDDY.. 


So all along we having really good times with Terry.. he is being so alert and quaint.. Everybody love him! But as time passed, he grow, and this is where the night mare began if you didn't toilet train your puppy (especially for male puppy).. Basically he will pee everywhere, your bed, your couch, any corner, besides a dustbin and list go on..... 

Training a puppy is totally not an easy task because it required a lot of time, patient, and sometime you just have to be really cruel and mean. Which means if he did anything wrong you have to hit or beat him and you need him to actually feel the pain.. According to one of pet groomer, if the pet didn't feel the pain, he will knew that you were so kind and the next time he won't be afraid of you anymore.. But my family and me personally couldn't do this to TERRY because... we thought that its just so cold blooded... 


Look!! The puppy eyes
That's the thing that causes most of the people to take the wrong step of raising the pet.
When we were having dinner, Terry will jump up to the seats and staring at us showing the face that "give me some~~" and if we refuse, he will then sit like how a human does to "seduce" us. So when the pet tried human foods, he will then rebuff all the dog food..

Another night mare arise, we have to cooked twice every single day..buy the meat (chicken or pork) with some vegetables and rice.. Sometimes we steamed, sometimes we fried, or even porridge.. Its really time consuming and sarcasm where we don't even cook for our self that often.. 


So when you are thinking this family is working so hard for him... how good if i can be the dog.. NO!! 
Dog can't eat too much of rice for certain reason and when we cooked, we tend to put in a little but  of seasoning like salt or soy sauce to make it more delicious.. Another reason is Terry don't want to eat without any seasoning.. Then he "fast" for 2 days and eventually he vomit.. Still he don't want to take the food... So we got no choice.. 



But what we doing is actually try to murder him... T.T
After sometimes, he is really itchy all over his body and keep on biting himself.. So we bring him to the pet groomer shop and the ladies said Terry had sensitive skin already due to several reason. Undeniably the main reason is from food. 


Besides that, the long fur is all tie up especially at the butt there and when he feels uncomfortable he will go and bite and lick it there cause all those gems and what not.. I do spend some time everyday to help him to comb his fur but at the butt there he don't let people to touch it.. So when i try to help him, ended up being bitten seriously from him.. So all of us scare and leave it like this.. As time passed, problem occur.. 



Its a huge responsibility in raising a pet.. There is a list to make it looks simple.

i) Clean environment. Make sure the floor is clean always because they lie down or sleep at the floor most of the time.
ii) Shower at least twice or once a week. 
iii) Grooming at least twice a week to make sure the fingernail and many things are neat.
iv) Make sure the toilet or where they pee is always clean and change the newspaper often. 
v) Make sure they stay healthy.
vi)Clean the ears PROBABLY everyday.
vii)Remove the gum at the eyes everyday.

Important notes:
Shower with puppy required skill. You can't let water goes into their ear, eyes and nose. And when you done shower, you have to make sure you know how to clean the ear and eyes probably. Especially for the ear, you have to stuck your finger really deep into the ear because dogs have L-shape ear. So if you failed to do so, infection happened. 

You can bring your pet to all those pet saloon for shower but it doesn't means that it is the best way for them. According to my own experience, Terry actually infected by flea once because the pet shop have to deal with so many dogs everyday and you can't ensure that every dog are all clean and healthy.. 

There are also people that cooked salmon and broccoli for her pet and the pet has really shine and healthy fur. But don't you think its really pricey? Unless you are really rich and free, you can follow this way. But general speaking, avoid giving them human food including bread as well is the best way to keep them healthy. 

So this is the consequence now for my poor terry..


The groomer suggest us to keep the fur short for a while first. Terry has to eat dog food. Even if we insist of cooking only can steamed meat and vegetables, no fried no oil no seasoning at all.. 

When we bring Terry out or something, usually there will be a lot of people praising he is really cute and adorable but now they were like.. What happened?? Eiu... or showing off the scared face what so ever..

I am sure that Terry knew it.. Cause even me and my mum can't really accept it for the first sight.. but we have to.. But he is still cute as always.. 



Don't always look at the bright side of having a pet. Think twice before having a Life with you.. Make sure it can integrate with your family and please double confirm that you have that ability (Patient, Love & Time) to take good care of it.. 

Your pet has no one besides you, so treat them well and make sure you don't give up or abandon them besides the road!! That's is totally unethical!!

Kind and Nice

Months ago, ABB has told us about a story of being "kind and nice" can actually change your whole life. Unfortunately i couldn't recall the story neither my friends.. That's why i didn't blog anything about it but the phrase "being kind and nice" is keep on linger in my mind..

Nice guy T-shirt
Today i can finally blog about it and i guess i totally get what is it really mean. When i first heard, i knew it is right but i couldn't feel how it will actually affect my life. But it actually does. 

Days ago i went to the admin center and ask some information regarding study abroad. So when i wanted to ask an Indian guy which i have met him before, he pass me to another person who usually deal with all this kind of matter.

So i asked is it possible for me to go to state if i were considering study abroad. The reason i ask is because the whole course that i am taking is UK based.
: "no, i don't encourage you to do so especially its for final year." (she answered) Because the system is  totally different and the subject might be different as well. 
: "aww.. ok.. what about Canada?"
: " Canada is running the same system based with US. So we wouldn't recommend you to do so"
: " But University of the Fraser Valley is one of the list in the partnership with APU, so i thought..."
: " Yes it is, but we don't recommend" 
: "alright.. thanks"

After that i wanted to ask about the PTPTN ((National Higher Education Fund Corporation) (t is responsible for giving study loans to students pursuing tertiary education in Malaysia) stuff and she pass me to another person. And the Indian guy were there as well. Anyway, the answer i got from the PTPTN guy is i have to call the office or visit them personally for more information. 

"alright.. thanks" (from me)

Then i was about to leave and the Indian guy follow me. He ask what the ladies told me just now? i said it is kinda impossible for me to abroad to the states and what not... 

Then he was just kind and nice enough to encourage me to find out myself. He suggest me that i can actually send email to the university that i looking for and work it out.. And he even explain to me that he doesn't mean to pass me to another person is just that the ladies is more familiar with these stuff. 

So the thing is, he is just an admin which he can totally ignore me and watch me left but why would he so concern on the result i got from others? I told him that going to States is my first choice and even though the whole office were kind a shot me down but he is the only one to ask me to try on myself and work things out.

If wasn't him, i would probably had a really really bad day.. but now at least he give me some hope.. i am being so grateful for his advice.. this is not the first time in fact.. i really appreciate it a lot even though we only met for less than 4 times?

Being nice to people can change their day.. And when you see people got your encouragement and being alive or hold faith again will make yourself happy either.. So don't be hesitate of being helpful, kind and nice..

You might ask... so how it actually affect your life? Is by treating others nice and kind as well. You will not only get happiness from others treating you nice but you will also feel the world is better when you treat others nice as well.

You might said i overdraw the picture but try it out!! Just start from little things like said Hi to the cashier or someone you really hate before.. Miracle will happen!! "ok.. a little exaggerated"



Being nice will lead you to a greater personal success!

2P

Getting into a college or university nowadays is not as hard as the past generation. But how many of you actually know what you want to achieve or what's your dream and it leads you to  a specific course that you are taking currently? 

Campus life
For some other cases, people might have dream at the beginning but as time passed, he or she become less motivated and starts to lost the way or vision. A very good example is when you are graduated from high school and looking for a university or college, by that time when you look at the course brochure everything seems to be so interesting, excited, campus life is so breathtaking or what so ever. But when you actually settle down and get what you want, everything seems to be so normal to you and you have lost the appreciation and the emotion. 

you are probably this excited when you got into college or university.
Also there are also people who doesn't have dream or target at the beginning and the reason they are here in college is just because of the sick of study and get a degree or its just an order from family which claimed that you must at least got a degree in order to find a job. 

Of course there are a lot more reason or example out there but these two is the most typical one. I assumed. 

Recently i have met an interesting question which is what's the professional certificate for Business Management student. I mean, if you are taking accounting there is a ACCA. IT course there are certificate of a particular system or program. All these are the extra credits you can get out of the course and it is also some certainty to show that you are different among other candidates. 

And because i am taking IBM and i begin to worried and perplex about the road that i have choose. 

The good news is... i got the answer!! and i wanted to share with you guys!!

So... its actually all about the 2P!! which stand for Purpose and Passion



In fact, no matter which field you are in now, whether you are taking course like me or you have started your career life, its all about purpose and passion. 

Purpose refers to the needs and wants of you in that specific field. Like i want to be the CEO, CFO, or UFO. haha.. or what you want to get, like knowledge from the course, experience, or paid from a job. 

After you knew what you want and whats you have to achieve. Then plan a strategy in order to make it real. Dream come true! You can't just said to your lecture that  "i will try my best" but how exactly are you trying? You have to work it out seriously. 

With all that, then all you need is Passion. The enthusiasm of your purpose and life. With passion, you will be enjoying and exciting everyday when you attend the classes or when you go to work. This is what leads you to the creativity, higher level of achievement  and with this it will definitely boost up your performance because you like and enjoy what you are doing. 

With this 2P, no matter where you are or do you actually have an extra certificate to show your professional it will work out as what you wanted or wished. With this 2P, even if you are taking finance course and the company throw you to marketing department, it will still works!! 

Some other example that i can think of now is learning musical instrument. I have learned piano since primary school and i stop years later because i am moving to another place. But then now i am taking classes again. I have to study like everyone else and learning instrument especially in piano you need to do a lot of theory exercises but at the same time i have to take care my education at the same time.

I have see a lot of people have stopped taking class because of stress and exam. I believe this happened because they have lost the 2P. If you are enjoy with what you are doing, even if its really stress you will still enjoy the stress and it will turns out into motivation some times. 



And basically i think it works in no matter what you are doing with your life. And when you hold this concept and dream big.. Miracle will happen!! Maybe some times the word dream sounds unrealistic, but with dream it motivates you to become greater and even if its really fail to achieve it, a least you will still becoming better compare to the you without dream.  

Hope i actually make sense in this post! =D 



If you cant figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose. 

Instagram

Instagram!!
After i got the new iPad, i finally can enjoy using few top apps which almost everyone are using.
In fact, i feel that it is probably the most interesting apps among all social networks because its more simple and you can always see pictures that others wont post it in FB. "what a stalker phrase!" and i personal feel that it is less exposure and more personal.
Moreover sometimes Facebook contain too much of extra information which probably you doesn't concern at all.

One of my favorite shot!
The interesting part is i have no idea why instagram makes me feel like every picture that i post have to be well done as in the color and filter. So, every picture that i post i will make sure it is well done as in the filter or some editing to make the picture looks more cool or meaningful... and ultimately when i look back to my own profile.. its like reviewing a very beautiful album of my life..=P

Moreover, because of wanted to keep instagram being updated, so whenever i see special stuff or scene will immediately capture it down.. And some of my friend who didn't have instagram they will said i am a jerk or something.. But after sometimes and i post the pic, its actually worth taking because only picture can capture the whole story completely. ultimately it is not literally a bad thing to take picture all the time also =)

So here are some of the picture..  



Terry's one is one of my favorite pic of all because he is just so cute and the picture is so perfectly show his innocent and face expression! Its super duper adorable!!  

Alright! Wish you guys have fun with instagram!! Follow me if you are interested! Shinolophy~
