Conclude 2013

Just a few hours left, we are steeping into a whole new year. I've never really done any new year  resolution kind of thing but i guess a conclusion or summary about the past year is more significant. My mum used to said every year we will have different thoughts and perception towards life but i've never thought the changes of a year could be this huge. 

If its had to use one word to describe my 2013, it would probably be "independent". 

Since the beginning of the year, things start up tough. I still remember there was no water supply for weeks and at the same time i was so struggled for loosing a significant person. Things has gone even worst in the following month. I've done things that are absolutely unexpected and basically just loosing my mind. I am glad that Gin witness some of the terrible part, and now we can discuss how horrible it was. 

At the same time, one family member has move out and the other move in. It creates a lots of problem in terms in living life style and it also creates a lots of argument between me and my mum. i still remember there was an argument happened at the night before my exam and that particular subject wasn't an easy one. Gladly, i still survived under that kind of pressure with flying colours. Wonder how i do it? Well.. i'm just keep telling myself that nothings gonna affect me from achieving what i want. 

Lucky enough i always have some best friends and my cousin gin with me. Because going collapse and exhaustion is so common at that period of time. 

Loosing that special someone and family isn't all. I've also need to adapt into the environment without my very close foundation friends. Though it wasn't that terrify as it sounds, but it wasn't really an easy one. Loosing my team for group assignment, i loose the confident of doing things well at the same time. Because regardless in work or life, they are people who always back me up whenever i needed. It feel exactly like a transfer student in high school where you need to adapt to many new things and make new friends. 

Of course, life wouldn't be that sucks. I met new friends afterwards. Erm.. one word to describe? "Reliable" We were pretty much a perfect working partner as well as good friends. I really appreciate the way we distinguish things. I mean, we never text each other things that are not related to work, but when we met we can share many things. Unfortunately, things only last until October. I guess there is some misunderstanding between us, and no one want to take the first steps. Or.. there are many obstacles i suppose. 

The fist half of the year was kind a sad but things change dramatically on my birthday and days afterwards. Though nothing really good happened but i guess its my mind set has turns really positive. Somethings really magical happened on my birthday, it didnt shows a good sign but i know it tells me to let go or stop being harsh on myself.

After June things has become really great especially in the month of July. It was literally the luckiest month throughout the entire year. Not only being lucky, but being aggressive and positive. I guess its all because through my birthday, i realise how many people does love me and all the friends that i had. it makes me feel that i am not alone in this tough journey. 

Life pretty much back to the right track. Though at the beginning i seems to loose a lots of important person in my life, but in return, i gave myself a pretty satisfactory academic results. Don't you dare to said i've becoming a nerd. Haha.. just kidding.. but thats the kind of the only thing turn out good. As a student, i guess thats the best gift because its a reflection all of the hard work, efforts, time that we've invested.

Time pass really fast, a lot of moment i wonder how i can manage to go through all those suffering stuff like the endless exams, assignments and etc. Is a tough year but i saw opportunities. From the tears i heard laughter. This year, i learned that no one is gonna be the loser forever nor the forever winner. Its all about how much you want a thing and how you actually take action to achieve it. I had a dream that i never even dare to dream before. Hopefully its gonna happen on September 2014. 

At the end of 2013, i conclude with a very simple sentence. 

"There is always an excuse if you don't want; There is always a way if you want."

Happy new year everyone! 

Thanks for reading any post from me even only one. Appreciate it. 

See yon in 2014!! Have a good year everyone! 

Best of luck!

Been thought of

Everyone has responsibility on the perception on how others think about you. The way you present yourself, the way you speak and stuff will eventually reflects back on how people think towards you. So if there is someone misinterpreted you for what you are not, you have to pay some attention on your own behavior instead of blaming others on misunderstanding who you are. 

Thanks to the advance technology we can change all most everything to the way we want it to be. You can easily have taller nose bridge, bigger eyes and sexy body through plastic surgery. But things like your charisma, the way you speak, your body gestures and more are stuff that we could develop from time to time. On the other words, each day of us will be slightly different from who we are yesterday due to all the things we met and see. 

Today's topic, been thought of. Thou we knew that people will be different from time to time, there are still a lot of people just couldn't move on from who you are before. Or they are being judgmental on your current look. I guess its still fine if that person aren't someone that was close to you. But what if someone that you've really close before still kind of think that you are who you were for like after one year. Again i admit, you have to be responsible on how people think towards you, but at the same time you should also know that people grow and change every single day.

It is so hard to accept the fact that people that you've been so close before, thinks of you in a very wrong way and just put you in a concrete box with a certain title. And your image for that person feels like being locked in that box forever and ever that nothings gonna go in nor nothings gonna come out. 

I absolutely agree that its hard to change the mindset that people already implemented in you because personality are something that hardly seen to be change. But if someone had go through some issues or something in their life, i believe that you should not judge who they were, at least before you meeting him or her in person. Don't think that people are still behave like that, unless you gave him or her another chance to present themselves. 

An interesting conversation i had with my friend the other day. He said we should not judge people based on their race, nationality, culture and more. Because all it matters are the personality itself that carry the greatest part of an individual. I agreed with no doubt, we should all treat people fair regardless to someone you've knew or someone you just knew. 

Everyone want another chance. But only when you giving others other chance, you'll receive chances from others. Because the moment you try or accept something new, you already creating the chance on your own.

November

Just a little update about what I've been up to lately. 

It's literally the third week of class now, first and second week was pretty chilled because its all introduction plus there are two days of holidays in the second week. So basically everyone is still relaxing here and there but yet lifeless because class end early so the time gap for next class is longer. 

Anyway, in the pass week, i've attend line dance and yoga class for the very first time in my life with my bestie Justine. Well.. i always thought that i would much prefer yoga for some reasons but it turns out line dance is much more fun. Yoga is more towards stretching, holding one pose in a position and all.. At the end of the lesson the teacher even ask us to relax our muscle and entire body so she turn off all the lights and we just lye down on the yoga map. And.. i fall asleep. HAHA.. 

Line dance is surprisingly more interesting. Though its all about repeating steps but all of us end up sweating. And its just more alive and more movement than Yoga. So definitely try it out if you're looking for some dancing classes. Of course you can always go to YouTube and find out bunch of tutorial to get some sort of idea. 

Since i've just mentioned YouTube and some fitness stuff, i would love to recommend Blogilates to all of you. She has both blog and YouTube channel that teach people fitness and recipe of eating clean. Most of her work out are 5 to 15 mins, so you can choose a few video regarding to which part of your body that you want to target with and start up your full hour work out. Because of her i find no point of signing up a class because its all free over the internet. But the worst thing of working out at home is self discipline. So yea, this is the alternative if you wish to save up some money but still living healthy.

Back to my life, most of the people hate school starts again but i'm actually looking forward on this because my routine without classes are super messed up. There is one day in the holiday i slept at 9am and woke up at 6pm. Super abnormal and not healthy. Time table has pretty much fix and publish now, i have 5 days class in a week. So i guess i shall said bye to those "vampire" kind of life. Well.. hopefully.

Hmm.. what else.. oh, how can i forget this! My current obsession TV shows are "Oppa Odiga" as well as the China version. I guess a lot of you already knew whats that. If you don't, please go check it out! Its a reality shows that 5 dads are bringing their own child on trip and it will has some challenges along the journey. I personally prefer the Korea version because it just felt like its more genuine and real. And my favorite pairs of father and son would be Lee Jong Hyuk and Junsu!! Like.. really really like them.. ahh..

Time flies, November has arrived. As people change every single day, at the beginning of the month i felt more empower and confident of what i am doing and enjoy what I've choose and planned. Hopefully this enthusiasm can stay throughout the month. 

I guess pretty much thats it! Thanks for reading and feel free to leave a comment down below telling me what you've been up to or just any random stuff, I would love to read it.

Brave or Wait

I've actually wrote this months ago, but I didn't publish until now because I am still looking for a more comprehensive conclusion. But during the holidays, i've met up some friends and i realised that this topic that i wrote before are still an existing problem for others. So, i thought i could share this with you and lets figure out the problems together. Here we go.. 

Brave or Wait, two types of behaviour in relationship. 

Both of these behaviour share one similarity that is both the partners are still in love with each other during that break up moment. 

Brave,

both parties have the courage and belief that no matter what gonna happened or how worst the situation gonna be, they are not gonna let go each other easily. Regardless who's fault, or whether the love still exist or not. Indeed, in some situations we called it as stupid because we are just used to have each other around, but sometimes we called it as true love.

Wait,

relatively they do not persist as much as Brave could do. Letting go each other is they way of them choose to love. They provide relief and freedom. They have high potential to get back together if any one of them willing to take the first move at the specific moment, but in this category, they probably didn't insist on the first thought and let the fear and confusion to take over instead.

Both Brave or Wait can still lead to a happy ending or a sad ending at the end of the day. It doesn't mean that if you are brave enough, you guys can last. It also doesn't judge in a way that the longer you wait the smaller chance to get back together. Or it could be both leading to a happy or sad ending.

But what i am trying to emphasised today is people are often choosing only one of them. Have you ever think of mixing these two together? Things could be completely different if they have a little braveness and patient at the same time.

Most of the time we prefer both parties to have mutual understanding. So we could spend less effort on explaining stuff and have a relatively simpler process. But at that specific moment, how do you judge the so called "mutual understanding"? Most or partly of the decision are not made in a rational situation and the other one has took it so seriously which lead to a sad ending. 

Well.. it literally took months for me to figure out this conclusion. 

Again, regardless which type you've choose or you've been through, if you guys meant to be together, you will eventually meet each other again. Of course on the other hand, i strongly believe that if both partner are very in love with each other things will not messed up without a legit reason. And if it happened to be bad, it either means that one or both of you are not mature enough or.. just not love each other enough as you thought it was. Fact is pretty cruel isn't it? But after all, i think both of this situation are a little immature..  And i believe true love should not be broken that easy.. 

Good luck everyone!

One

"Everybody want to love, everybody want to be loved."

ABB, one of the most respect and awesome people that i know, has once said that the lesser the number of the relationship, the better it is. 

It was like two years ago, i couldn't really recall what exactly did he said but its more or less its like if you have more relationships, the harder you can be satisfied with one person. Because things or experience that you are more abundant which eventually leads to comparison.

So, does anyone ever think of loving just one person and having only one relationship throughout your entire life? I know it sounds kinda crazy because generation nowadays started relationship in a pretty early age and by that time they probably don't even know what love is. So its really hard to meet people that still own their first love. 

I would said its pretty impossible for people nowadays to have one lover compare to the older era where people still use letter as the communication tool. 

I know some of you might probably thinking doing all kind of thing and daily routine with just one person may turns out really boring but.. i absolutely don't think it that way. Some of you might still thinking that you are young and you wish to have more "exposure" and try out which type of personalities suits you the best. But if thats the case, the only think that i can thought of now is telling you to be prepared of enduring hurts, pains and tears. Unless.. each and every break up are happen peacefully and you do not feel sad about it. 

The end of one relationship form one regret or commiserate in your life. I guess no one would love to have their life filled with many regrets. So having one and only lover in your entire life is pretty cool isn't it? 

Not sure if it sounds very old minded but.. i still think if it does happen on you.. you are one of the luckiest people in the world because you don't even know what break up is and of course you do not need to experience the pain of breaking up as well as all sort of torture. 

I love to put pictures in every post because i feel like it gives a better picture of what i've said and sort of draw out a better conclusion. I know titanic is just a movie but i think it does fit into "One" pretty well. Imagine how beautiful it is to have someone that you know not more than a week, willing to sacrifice their life for you. But hey, i am not asking you to kill yourself in order to show your love!! 

Alright, good luck for all the lovebirds out there, appreciate who they are. Of course, also good luck to all single people to find your one and only prince or goddess.

Thanks for reading! Have a nice weekend! ♥

Compare

People around you or even yourself tend to compare about every single thing at most of the time. The habit of comparison apply to every individual regardless of culture, race and stuff. One of the most typical comparison are your academic results. It seems to be absolutely normal for parents to take their child and compare to relatives or others. 

Sometimes, even ourself will tend to also compare with our classmate(s). Well.. i think sometimes its totally fine because it helps to create competitive advantages and sort of act as a motivation for all of us to improve. But, i personally think that over comparison and overly attached with the outcome, are not healthy at all. Because most of the time, you should be your own, one and only competitor. What you should trying to achieve next is something better than what you've currently achieved. Over rely on the sources from comparison will only create a lot of unnecessary stress and causes demotivation. 

Of course, most of the time we do compare our life to others as well. We compare wealthiness, happiness, or even just one event or issues happen in your life. There was once, my friend are sort of in a depressed mode at that period of time, i literally send her a song that written based on own experience, and it makes my friend feel a lot better. In this case i guess compare does helped because through that she realise that what she thinks thats matter is just a piece of cake. It sort of help to broaden her vision. 

Anyhow, what i trying to emphasis here is people nowadays are too affected by comparison and forgot who they really were. What they are chasing and trying to achieve are not what they really want nor what they really need. At the end of the day, thou you've got what you think you want, you won't feel any happiness at all. Because continual competition with others is the only things that remain in your mind. 

Everyone is a special creature. I strongly believe creativity and the individuality will help you to stand out from the crowd. You do not need to fight to be someone who are already exist. Just be yourself. Believe in your dream, work hard on it, it will eventually come true. As long as there is life, there is hope. 

♥Good Luck everyone! ♥

Paniya Korean Restaurant

As you guys can tell from the title, today's post is about Korean Cuisine. I personally found that this is very exciting to share with you all especially for those who  specifically love "Uncle Jang". Paniya Korean Restaurant is not as famous as Uncle Jang but in all aspect, i definitely much more prefer Paniya. 

Friends around me including myself has once in love with Uncle Jang. *I even blogged about Uncle Jang in previous post* Unfortunately, i really think they have terrible customer service or just service in general. There are plenty of time i went to Puchong brunch as well as Ampang, they are close before the time they have stated. Its bearable if i reached like half an hour before their closing time, but thats not the case. Most of the time I reached one hour before the stated closing hour and when i step in, they just said its closed. It really leads to huge antipathy especially you have travel so far and it just sort of ruined the plan between you and your friends. 

The exact same story, i've never been to the Solaris brunch, so i just thought of giving it a try in last Saturday. They have stated closing at 11pm on the weekend and i reach there about 9.45pm. The same thing, they said they are closed. So we walked around, just further down from Uncle Jang Solaris, and we found "PANIYA KOREAN TEPPAN BBQ"!! 

They are actually closed at 10pm but the owner are kind enough and still serve us nicely. The owner is a Korean, he is so nice and thoughtfully introduce some of the famous dishes. He explained really detailed and even help us to pick up good combination. 

Thats not all of the choice they have. I just simply take two pics to show you guys. Apologise for the bad skill thou. =(

Paniya is definitely a good alternative for Uncle Jang because they are selling same kind of foods but it has more variety and according to the owner, he said that Uncle Jang are using deep fried  style kind of thing, so its more oily. Not just the foods are healthier and taste nicer, the environment is also much more comfortable. 

So this is what I had for that night. 

 1. Oh Sam 

Similar to Uncle Jang's Dak Galbi, but the ingredient here are pork slice, squid, some vegetables, and of course rice cake. Not sure if you can tell from the pic, but its taste really good and indeed less oily. 

 2. Kong Sam 

According to the menu, this has pork belly slice and bean sprouts. Its a slightly different taste compare to the first one but i guess its pretty much they substitute the cabbage to been sprouts. But according to the owner, he said is different sauces thats why its cook separately.

The first and second dishes are similar to Uncle Jang, but i personally think that the price we paid are more worth because of the ingredient and taste. Similarly, you can add in Ramen, rice, or rice cake and more. We had ordered too much that day, if not i would definitely try out their ramen. So my advice for you all is just order one dished like the first and second one according to your own preference of ingredient and add in some side dishes as i mentioned earlier if you would like. 

If you really want to compare between Paniya and Uncle Jang, Paniya has the exact same dishes Dak Galbi. But we just thought of trying something new that night. Will definitely update you guys if i have tried it out another time. =)

3. Glass Noodle

Thats actually not the real name but because i didnt capture down all the menu i couldn't remember what its called. I am sorry. But this is recommended by the owner, and it turns out really good. He recommend this because both the dishes we had are spicy so its better if we have something neutral to balance it up. It cost RM30 for this, a little pricey but it totally worth. 

Thats pretty much what we ordered. One of the essential part in Korean cuisine are the side dishes, well.. i personally thought so. The variety of side dishes helps to give more favour to the entire meal and make things more interesting. I love Korean side dishes somehow not really into Kimchi. But personally Paniya's kimchi taste better for me compare to Uncle Jang. But overall i still prefer side dishes from Nak Won because of variety and i think Nak Won has more stuff that you usually saw in Korean drama. You guys can check it out from my 2013 birthday post. 

Here are some information about Paniya:

Stay awesome people! 

I'm Back!!

Whats up every one?? Finally assignmentssss and finalssss are overrrrr!! Its been more than a month since my last post, but i promise there are a lot of time i felt like writing one but i just had to do things according to the priority.. =(

Anyway, if some of you are new to my blog i would love to said "WELCOME"! And if some of you do visit my blog earlier, dude, i am not that emotional all the time. Don't judge based on the previous one okay.. In fact, i am pretty positive right now.. Well.. at least much better than before..

So.. Let just go through some of the stuff i did while i am missing here..

27th August - particularly remember the date because it was my best friend birthday!
We had presentation on that day, and everyone was so busy..

 I drop my friend's party for a while and pass her a little cake at nightT. I'm soo sorry babe!

This happened in some random day.. where we are doing assignment. I used to be very isolated when it comes to assignment. i need a quite and comfortable place so that my brain could function. But these days i have become pretty flexible and surprisingly i really enjoy working with them because it just make boring things had a lot more fun.

A little introduction about them since its the first time they're here! Kishon, Janice, Lu Shuai! They are all my new friend for Degree level 2! So happy there are finally one girl in the gang!! Thats why please excuse us to have more pictures. HAHA..

Know this guy for quite long.. since.... level 1? i dont remember.. Hao Ran! 

On the same day, my mum and sis whatsapp me during the class and showing me pictures of Uncle Jang! So i send this pic to them in return! =D 

And of course my little terry is always here.. try to distract me away from work by its puppy eyes.

 What he did when i was checking my emails. How could you resist?

So there are plenty of times I stay at uni to do my work until it is closed. Well, unlike university like Taylor or Sunway, their campuses are available for 24 hours. APU mines campuses is only open until 7 or 8pm. Anyway, looking at all these pictures reminds me of productive days.

Here's a little funny story. I came out from class and i saw my friend, i said HI and i leave my bag there with all things packed in and went to the wash room. And this is what happened when i came back. As you can tell, thats everything in my purse being presented on the desk in a sort of creative way. Yea.. I have a lots of annoying friends over here and trying to make your life busier! Haha.. 

 Thats my name in case you don't know. Kee Shin.

Jia Min's farewell! I don't exactly remember which date it is but its the day where all the assingments has been hand in. We were friends since.. Form 1 or 2? We used to be in music club and all.. So happy for her to get such an awesome opportunities to study abroad in UK. So proud of her at the same time because she are fully sponsored by scholarships!

Its also been such a long time since i ever met my high school mates. Really good to see them again. Feel blessed.. 

Twins i knew for years.. We used to be really closed and sharing every single things back then until Form 3. They have became even more charming now and they really have a good sense of humour.

My life wouldn't be complete without them. This is some random night we hang out and decided to go for a drink. It happened somewhere before the exam. We just wanna chill a little before stressing for the exam. Anyway, this is the first time that we actually ordered alcohol together. And we are naively feel like growing up or getting old. Haha.. 

Next are all about the exam. Studying, study, and studied. 

One of the luckiest thing happened in this sem is i have two subject with Jus! We literally been waiting this day to arrived after foundation end. So its about a year! We finally here, and now its all over right now... T.T... Though we still gonna meet each other but being in a same class.. seems to be a really precious moment for us.. 

This is.. during exam. i guess the reason of taking this pic is probably i felt boring and thought of blogging. Anyway, its pretty isn't it? Well.. not really, i still have nightmare about exam even it has passed. But.. i just love to capture down a little moment like that. 

 Us in 2013! Exam is all over!!! It has became like a tradition for us to take a group picture on the last day of exam.

2012

2011

We went to bear paw afterwards. We are forced to separate into 2 tables because it couldn't fit all of us in in one place. As usual, us, talking non-stop with endless topic. 

About bear paw, this is my first time trying. I knew its been quite famous lately. But for me it taste really normal. Its basically like a burger with some sort of Chinese steamed bread. Its cute, very presentable.. but nothing really special about it. 

Finally, i guess thats it. Stay tuned for the next post which will be up really soon i promised!
