Page 79: #1 Aunt's Birthday Celebration

Hey there, I have so much to update. Last week had been a great week spending most of the time with the family. Haven't been updating because I had been going out everyday with the family that am so tired to blog at night. Not to mentioned had been hooked up with draw something apps too. So yeah, reached home at night I spent time playing draw something only that I barely touch my laptop at all. Today, marks less than a week till my holidays end. Am so not prepare for the next sem :( I have so much to do more. So here are the updates. 

Celebrated aunt's belated birthday on the 14th March @Secret of Louisiana. They had these awesome crew who played the guitar and sang birthday song. So much fun! The food was okay, this was my 2nd time there. Previously was the lunch buffet at this place with the unimates. There were 8 choices of spaghetti and you can eat all you want. The price is reasonable and it's still ongoing. If you are a spaghetti lover, try the lunch buffet. :) 

We went over to Taylor's Lakeside campus for a walk before heading back. Ahhh, that beautiful campus. How I wish my campus is this pretty too! Coming soon, but I don't think I will get to enjoy that. Meh.

On Monday night, the cousie sis thought of bringing us to Sg. Chua @Kajang for dinner at this Chinese restaurant. Went all the way there and the restaurant was not open. Sigh, missed out eating at this restaurant because the cousie said this restaurant serves really yummylicious food. So the cousie brought us to Bangi for Malay food. Quite skeptical about it, thought it's like some normal mamak store. Ended up, it's a new discovery for us since we never been to places like that. 

Yankies Hut, according to the couz, she said this place existed long long time ago. 

They have different concept over there, we chose this place. Yeah table very messy and idk why is this picture blur, took this before we left. My camera really sucks at night so therefore no food picture. The food served were yummy and the prices are reasonable. Worth going for a try :) 

Then, we dropped by @Equatorial Hotel, Bangi. This place is so so nice, kinda isolated but the interior is really nice. 

That's all. Heh, new discoveries at night.

Hello. Looks like am starting to procrastinate again. So here it is an outdated post. Spending pretty much of time outside with mum these few days which explains why I am writing this outdated post because I have no time to blog about it. Or rather too tired to blog about them. These uploading and rearranging photos take loads of time. I really need unifi D: 

Back to the story, went to KLCC with the high school dearies for birthday celebration for Wan Ping and also Ho Shin. Our initial plan was to Putrajaya, but we were smart enough to change the plan last minute to KLCC. Had our lunch at Ben's because we didn't want to celebrate their birthday at the food court. But KLCC's food court has really nice food. It was my first time trying out dining at Ben's after hearing it from Frauline and my aunt. The food was really really good, and the ambience is awesome! It's worth every penny! 

Our LRT adventure after going through a massive jam for 40 mins to reach Kelana Jaya. 

The amount of cameras we bring everytime we go out. It's forever more than 2 cameras. 

The beef lasagna. Too bad I couldn't taste it but Jo said it's really nice. *drools 

Macaroni Cheese. The crust is really yummy yummy and the cheese is so rich. 

Aglio Olio Spaghetti is delicious thou it's just you know only spaghetti. 

Pressies. Pretty charm bracelet! 

Awwww! *admire

SZBs ♥. 

1 went overseas, another one going overseas soon, and another one in the future. Le sigh, why is everyone separating. :( 

Page 68 : I don't know what title to put you see

Hey there, I am pretty lifeless currently. But am enjoying every second of my life now. Got nagged by mum saying I keep staring at the laptop screen whole day. Not the truth, but quite true. 

#1 I am having milo/coffee + sardin sandwich for every breakfast and lunch. Interesting or not?! This picture looks familiar? Yeah larr, I cheat, this picture is not taken today, can be found in my previous post. Haha, what for take the same picture when it's the same drinks, same cup, same food and same plate. Very healthy right my breakfast and lunch, you better agree that it's healthy. *wide grin

#2 So today I had a new resolution. It just popped on my mind all in a sudden, and it became my resolution. Heh! I know I am just not serious like that. Went to visit this old friend and exercise for 20 mins. I have to exercise for 20 mins everyday-my new resolution. This used to be my dad's best friend, daddy exercise for an hour on it everyday. Since daddy left, noone used it anymore and it's left there at the corner. So pitiful, sigh. So yeah, I actually know how to cycle!!! It's only that the bicycle I cycle doesn't move at all. Lol! 

#3 I guess we didn't used it for a long long long long time, and the battery seems to die off. It no longer shows me the speed, the pulse, the distance, the calories anymore. Whuai! :'( This is so sad. 

Other than that, I spent my time watching videos on youtube. Lilcdawg, miniachilles, singindork888, xiaxue, wongfuproduction and also the one I discovered today, the TheJlin7. All these channels made my day :D 

Alright, that's all for today. (:

Page 67: The table's neighbour's birthday & a day out

2nd day of holiday, and it's a day out with my uni bestie! Today we did something that we usually don't do, we went to the electrical and cookware section instead of clothing section, we went to furniture shop. Hahaha, it was fun. Did a vlog with lavee @Jusco's electrical and cookware section. Got stared because they think i am a crazy girl talking to my camera. It was fun thou!!! Will try to upload the video here if only I could upload it on the net, the file is sooo freaking huge I don't know how and why. 

 My lunch partner and shopping partner!!! :)

 My fish rice burger. (Y) 

This was way too scary! If only you guys were there. I am glad I am safe. Phew.  

Happy 21st to my 2 years of table's neighbour! In case you don't know what's table's neighbour, she sat beside me for 2 years! My talking companion in class! I just need to use this picture instead of picture of us  because you are so beautiful here! Like this picture a lot. But actually if you scroll through my blog, you can see her too. Heh! :) She is optimistic, she is strong, she has high determination, she is sarcastic, she is very good at planning. Without her during the 2 years we sat together in high school, am sure am gonna be lost since I am so blur. She is also my gossip partner! We chat a lot at night especially midnight since her sleeping time is kinda screw up. She used to sleep so late and wake up 2 hours later to school, and her nap is sooo freaking long. She's just a weirdo with her screw up sleeping time back then. haha! But of course, she's the best table's neighbour for 2 whole years. Me loves you my table neighbor! xoxo. We shall partay this Friday. *wink

Page 66 : Post-Exam

Hello! Officially done with Sem 5 yesterday. Knowing the fact that there's 4 more semesters to go only, I am getting afraid. Afraid of losing all these awesome unimates, all the fun time we had, and going out to the working force. Thinking of that just freak me out. How's the world out there actually like? Bet there's no going class together, having fun in the lecture halls, going for lunch and celebration and also outings together right. 

Yesterday was kinda fun, there's low fun and high fun. I spent like 4 hours in the library at the quiet zone eating my textbook, reading I meant, snoozing off in the beginning because it was so quiet and cold. Spent some gan-jeong hours at cafeteria before going into the exam hall. Spent 3 hours writing on that freaking exam booklet and I've no idea what I wrote. uh oh. Then an hour hanging around in uni, and 20+ of us and  6 cars headed to Klang. Woots, that was fun! Thought of having steamboat but yeah we went there and the shop was not open. So we all stand on the roadside discussing here and there for like some time and ended up just went over to the shop beside for some Western food. I had fried rice (so embarrassing) and my food came last. Awesome or not?! :O 

#1 Oh this is just some random picture. Had papa john's pizza on Sunday. So yummy!!! Gotta eat this again! 

#2 My breakfast for today! Coffee love and sardin sandwich! Nom nom! 

#3 Got back the assignment marks yesterday and quite happy with it. Actually I am easily satisfied. Heh. Thanks group mates for the awesome magazine we did from scratch! Emergent Leadership rocks huh! 

And now, am gonna share a bit here and there some Words from Mr.Shannon ( my fav lecturer and also for the Leadership subject we took this sem ), not gonna post the whole thing here but most of it. Read it people, very meaningful :)

"Friday, 24 February 2012

Hello, everyone!

Your life is only just beginning, actually. My generation (Gen X, people born roughly between 1969 – 1984) will soon fade away. And so, we are passing the baton and torch of leadership over to you. I hope and pray that you make your choices and decisions count.

Honestly, the days ahead for the world look uncertain. There are dark clouds. I hear thunder in the distance. Sure, yes, there are good things going on as well. But I think it’s important to start sharpening our minds and preparing our hearts for the rough seas. Technology is going to continue its relentless march in transforming every aspect of our lives. We cannot expect things to remain the same. Will things get crazier? Yes, I think so. I urge you to live your life intentionally and not to let life just happen. You can be strategic. You can be significant, personally and professionally, at home, at work, on campus, and wherever you are, wherever you go, whoever you are with, whatever the situation and context.

You can lead and you can learn to lead. You can make things happen. The marketplace is waiting for your leadership, your influence, your voice, your words, your writing, your work, your service, your art and your touch. You are going to spend a great deal of time at the workplace. Therefore, strive to find work that you find meaningful, work that you will enjoy. All types of jobs and work worth doing have their own unique challenges, stress levels, complexities and difficulties. But if you find something you love to do, you won’t mind the effort and trouble so much. Your work will become your craft, your art ... your gift to everyone else around you.

Your family, present and future, are waiting for your leadership and influence. There are things you can do to usher in hope, healing, reconciliation, forgiveness, restoration and peace.

Your campus, your community, your towns and cities, your nations, your circles of friendship, your present and future friends, colleagues and bosses ... all are waiting for your leadership. You can usher in justice, spread passion, solve important problems, lead teams, create stuff, establish foundations, pioneer initiatives, be an example, bring cheer and joy and become beacons of light in darkness. If you like, you can become a lighthouse and help ships find their way through the fog and storm.

It’s a choice, isn’t it?

I’ll let you in on a secret: I read obituaries. I spend time thinking about death a lot. Read this:

Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties.        

After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart...

A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time.

(Ecclesiastes 7: 2, 4 – Old Testament, The Holy Bible)

I suggest you take some time off to be alone and to imagine the day of your own funeral. Imagine people you know giving a eulogy on you. What would you like people to remember the most about your life?

Maybe you can write your own eulogy. Seriously. Now. If you don’t know how, do a Google search on ‘how to write your own eulogy’.

Spend time reflecting on how you want to be remembered. Think of the kind of legacy you would like to leave behind. You and I will surely die one day. We need to get over and past our fear of death. With all due respect to specific traditions, if we continue to live in fear of death, we will NEVER live our lives to the fullest and NEVER realize our full God-given potential. Thinking about death and reflecting upon the reality of death will help us live wisely and purposefully. It will help us to do some necessary growing up.

I’m not asking you to indulge in some airy, fairy unrealistic fantasy. I’m not saying you should hang your head down, look depressed, feel suicidal, put on an Angry Bird face and become a morbid person. No. That’s not what I mean at all. Far from it.

I want you to live with laughter, joy and gladness. But life must be lived wisely in order to be lived forward fully. Recklessness, carelessness or care-freeness isn’t the same as courage, simplicity and contentedness.

I’m calling you to “begin with the end in mind” as Stephen Covey would put it in his book ‘Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’. Once we can picture the end and our funerals, and imagine what we would like people to remember and say of us, then we can choose to live and lead intentionally in the here and now. In other words, by knowing the kind of ending we want to have, we can live our lives forward with vision and purpose. You can tune your ‘internal compass and GPS’ towards your ‘true north’. There may be things along the way that sidetrack us but once we know the ending we’d like to have, we can make ourselves get back on track.

I strongly encourage you to invest in your mind by reading good books and attending good leadership conferences and seminars. Start small. Build up your leadership skills bit by bit, step by step. Learn to be genuine and sincere. Practice listening. Communicate with people less on e-mail, SMS and Facebook. Do more face-to-face, live and real human interaction, without any technological interface. Hold a hand. Look at friends and family in the eyes. Turn the mobile devices off at meal times. Maybe have a “NO MOBILE DEVICES OR COMPUTER OR INTERNET OR VIDEO GAMES DAY” once a week. It will change your life. Become people of substance and depth. When crisis and trouble comes, people of substance and depth will be able to withstand the shocks and lead others through the chaos and panic.

Learn to lead and influence for the greater good. Stand and act for what is right.

Learn to lead from the ground up.

Learn to lead without the need for official, formal titles, spotlight or recognition.

Learn to lead quietly.

Learn to lead behind the scenes.

Learn to appreciate and enjoy silence, stillness and quietness.

Learn to be.

Let your ‘doing’ flow from your ‘being’.

Learn to wait for the right moment. Use the waiting time to learn, grow, get equipped, train, practice and prepare. When you are finally called upon, you will be the right person for the right moment. There is such a thing as being premature. There is value is patience. Wait. This requires humility.

You and I can tell people what to do but we will duplicate who we really are on the inside. If we are not genuine, we will duplicate insincerity, no matter how genuine we try to appear to be.

"XO, take her down. Make your depth 800 feet. Downward on the planes 45 degrees, left full rudder, all ahead 1/3. Make your heading 270. Rig ship for ultraquiet. Battle stations!"

Just me,

Shannon "

Am so gonna miss this class, so much that I've learn and I think I grow a lil'. Leadership Sem 5 definitely is a memorable one :')

" There is no love sincerer than the love of food " - George Bernard Shaw

This was what I had for lunch yesterday. Just a cup of Horlicks. So depressing D: I know I shouldn't be whining and complaining about just having a cup of Horlicks for lunch when some other people don't get to eat at all. Moreover, this is just something healthy. No nasi lemak, no pan mee, no javachipfrapp! All that I've been craving this week are not fulfill yet! So yeah, to end the post. I LOVE TO EAT. What a meaningless post. Haha!
