New Milestone - The Birth of Learning Sites and Facebook Page

During the Movement Control Order (MCO) announced by the Malaysia Government because of COVID-19,  I have stepped out from my comfort zone to build a learning site for all Malaysia pupils. I have created some materials and posted on my sites and Facebook page for the purpose of sharing. Here are some of the links of my sites and Facebook Page.

Chu 2 - The Busiest Day

From the early morning, my eldest sister and I were going to search for an wine opener in the town. I have bought some food to bring back to Sabah. We have spent fewe hours to find that opener as well as looking for food.

At 2 p.m., we finally reached home. I have some rest and start helping out my parents in the kitchen. I have learnt some recipes from my dad. Such a precious experience!

In the evening, all the relatives came to my home and have dinner together. We were having buffet style for dinner. My cousins and I also played some games. All of us are having fun time in this day!

Dharma Walk - YBMA

I was no one, I am just a volunteer in Dharma Walk 2014. In this walk, I have known s bunch of new friends. Each of them has different talents and they worked together very well. They have different backgrounds, ages, jobs as well as ways of thinking; still. this two-day-two-night functions was organised and run very well and organised. Susposingly, the committee members running this functions is under 40 years old; however, all of them are just below 30 years old. The average ages of them are 24. Some of them are just 17. I was surprised for what they have done after knowing their real ages. Their ways of thinking and working are matured. They were very serious in working and ran things efficiently. I was glad that I was a volunteer being there so that I could observe and learn from them. Perhaps, they were arguing during work; but they can still be friends after work. They gave supports and they cherish each other. 

I wish I could work with them again as I can learn a lot from them. Thank you friends.

Here are something new I learnt from these two days:

Age does not define how a person thinks and works.

Be humble at all times in order to keep learning in pace.

Be well-planned and have a bigger picture for everything.

Be prepared for any shortcomings or last minute changes.

Calm down and there are always ways to solve the obstacles.

In our way to succeed, there are always a lot of obstacles and lures, be calm and steady, face them and get through them.

Know yourself, know your role and do it well.

Sketch Competition - Cinta... Oh! Cinta..

The sketch competition for Malaysia Independence Month was organised in our campus yesterday (25 Aug 2014). It was glad that everyone of us contribute much in this sketch competition. The story is humour and meaningful. There are a lot of humourous jokes in the scripts and well-carried out by all the actors. We might not be the winner but at least we are the winner of my heart! I enjoy the process of preparing the props and staging. Although there were some props went missing during the sketch, still we have a great moment!

Whole Beijing Roasted Duck - Eat Full Full

Last Sunday, my gor gor, jie jie and I went to City Mall, Sabah to have a whole beijing roasted duck set as dinner. 

It was very cheap and three of us eat until very full. We sat there and have our meal for almost two hours. 

All the dishes are super nice! I love and enjoy having dinner and chat with them.

Nice days come when I get closer to them.

I love my gor gor and jie jie. 

~Whole Beijing roasted duck~

~Brother, Leslie; sister, Cyndy; and me~

~I am naughty! Yeah!~

In fact, Sabah is a very nice place to live... I just miss home.. haha.. 

I love this place as the air is clean and there are a lot of places to travel and have food.

Although the price could be slightly expensive, still it is valuable as the serving is larger.

PS: For those who have never come to Sabah, please dont't judge.

Hari Raya Celebration 2014

It was on last saturday where we are having raya celebration at our campus. 

Although not everyone was around on that day, at least most of us are here. This was the first time our class having group photo initiatively. Delicious food and well-prepared performances were on the day. Cheerish and happiness spread around and I was fully immersed in that such harmony and happy environment. Thanks God for giving me a chance to celebrate Hari Ray Aidilfitri in such a nice place. 

~Naughty Ken, Toh Tieh, Sze Miin and Vanessa is at the back by shock..haha~

Before the day, we were having decoration for our stall for the next day celebration. 

We decorated our stall with the fullness of heart and ideas.

 I felt great to do this for the first time. 

I enjoyed doing these things as I could see how other people make their ideas flow. 

It was a joy for me to see a great success done by cooperation. 

Although our stall did not get any reward, in my deep heart, we are the best as we have given the best out of the best! 

We are the best!

~I drew this smiley to Dorina hope her smile will influence more people~

Dorina - my singing K partner. She is my bff. Haha... Although we are from different states, different backgrounds and different religions, we have same interest!

WE LIKE SINGING!!! 

She is a very cute person. She is always ready when I wasnt to selfie... She seldom reject work given neither nor complain. She does. But very seldom. 

I feel very comfortable when I did sharing my personal emotions with her. 

She is a very good listener and very patient person. I love Dorina!!!

May God always give her strength...

Our friendship has last longer.

It has been years we become friends... From not so closed friends to buddies and to best best friends. We have been in the same class in primary school. Having the same school in secondary; however our friendship is more valuable than the diamond and rubies found in the world. 

Our gathering this time is to celebrate Pui Wei and Tracy graduated successfully from the diploma; Dickson got the chance to sit for UPSI test and my holiday as well. We have much talks and cheers durig our dinner. We even stayed up at night to pick up what we have all left behind during school times.

Much fun and joys surrounded us. 

New dessert: Raisin Lychee Jelly

Wish our friendship last longer than now.
