Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump. That was the first movie I fully indulge myself and that was the movie u never forget.

The first time i watched this movie was in 2000? Form 3 or form 4, not quite sure. I think i watched this movie 10 over times till now. The movie was about a mentally challenged man, Forrest Gump and his life. "The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump", that was the tagline of the movie and indeed it was. When most of the ppl in the world is chasing for power and money, Forrest only looks out for a thing, Love, that's wat deep in his heart and never change. Just follow where ur heart is, and that's the road for u.

To be a successful man, u dun need an IQ of 180. To be the happiness person, u dun necessary need lotsa of $$.

One more thing for the movie, just check out the theme song, also called' forrest Gump' which i posted on this blog too. I believe partly of the movie success was due to this music. The music starts with a light and happy tone, followed by sorrow and at last, back to the happy rhythm, 先苦后甜， 苦尽甘来, fully describe wat L.I.F.E means.

My Un-do list

My un-do list

It's just the 4th week of the semester... but the workload pile up like anything... shit=(

Start of the semester, everyone was excited abt the recruitement fair, bank networking session, watever finance , career talk... Started to feel the stress of final yr... wat make it worse is the selection of FYP ( which i have not even started lookin on it). Isn't final yr suppose to be our ya-ya, relax yr since is the last yr we r in NTU??? why not just let us leave some nice memories in NTU b4 leaving this contrary place--> meaning Luv it and Hate it at the same times.

I LuV NTU... I Just hate the education sys here, i think the whole Sg..

And i LuV my new room =) eventhought at a $40 higher cost. Hey hey, I'm staying in Condominium Hostel lo... haha 高级住宅区, i called that=). I ve my room card ( Not key), ve lift ( vividly remember the days at Hall 9 level 6 860 room), ve 24 hrs hot water bath supplies ( last time: 7.30pm-1am then 5am to 10am) only. Wat wat's more important,, My bed is facing the magnificant view of Jungle+blue sky... Yes, imagine, sitting on the bed, ve a cup of coffee/tea beside, reading book ( hopefully not lec notes) and watching the blue blue sky, wind blowing on ur face.... A perfect day =). But la, if that day the temperature shoots up to 30 cel... then my room will become a bigger size of micro oven!!

The only thing i hate abt my new hall is the stove... wat's the matter with this electronic stove... dunno even when the food is cooked..!!

I think i ve lot of things unsettled.... but just dun feel like doin it.. my resume... sys bio, struc bio, muscle, virusses, accounting.... eeeeee.

..

This sem rite... hopefully to be a fullfilling sem... took social dance n jazz n harmonica lesson.. I must learn something new b4 getting out of NTU. Highly recommend Pretty tuff to the gals!

真话，假话，谎话和气话

真话，假话，谎话和气话，你，最想听到那一个？

每一个人都想听到真话，但有多少个能接受事实？每每遇到不好的消息，我们都情愿传递者没有说过。推销员都知道，就算顾客有多么的丑陋，多么的难搞， 还是不能说出真话。 所以实际上，真话在某些场合，往往是最不能被接受的。

假话，假假说些东西来敷衍一个人，假假讲你很美，可是一点都不美。很假的假话，有时候反而是我们最想听到的。 因为假话的能力有时会激发起一个人的斗志力， 也能让一个人那天过的特别开心。 想一想， 有时，听一听假话也无妨=）

谎话。 谎话和假话的分别， 可能在于谎话常用在比较认真的场合。 我称他为：认真的假话。因为通常它是用在比较有计划下说的。善意的谎言，我们都听过。 刻意的谎言，我们也可能听说过。言之， 谎话还是有它必要的存在性。 但是，人们最讨厌别人说谎骗他。 有时，换一个角度去思考，说谎的人，不一定是可恶的，也许他真的担心，说出真话，你反而不能接受。

气话， 是比较反常的。 有很多种气话， 有一种是你真的关心那个人，可是当他做不到你要的东西，一股不爽的闷气，自然会有感而发。气话，可以变成一种动力来鼓励一个人，但有时控制不了，会变成厌恶。 好像有些父母会对孩子说些气话， 引起孩子对父母的反感。 可能父母的用意是好的， 但就是方法不对。

说话是一种技巧，在对不同的人，要用不同的话法。这是一个，永远我们都学不完的技巧。

Last day in Bangkok, kinda miss this place yet wanted back to my sweet home in KT. A sweet, short but satisfying trip. Saw many things, ppl, different look of Bangkok city over the pass few days.

The last day, we gave ourselves a nice sleep, no more 5.45am, this time we slept till 8 something. And finally, we had a chance again to have our relaxing breakfast at Suk 11. While having breakfast, we discussed where to go after that, 4 of us from Senai need to take a flight around 4.40pm, so by 2pm we need move from Suk 11. For the limited few hrs time, we planned to visit Thailand well known university, Chulalongkorn University located around Siam. Then, Shirlin, Cp and i ll back to Pratunam to continue our shopping spree. =) hehe...

Chulalongkorn Uni was very near to the town centre, after a few rounds of asking ppl with 'Sawadeeka and Krupkrunka', we finally found the place. Hey, the university was quite big and well organized lor, somehow, undergraduates there are required to wear uniform, surprisingly. But, for gals, the uniform is vy beautiful, i dun mind wearing it everyday to uni=).

( pretty le)

We took photos with handsome guy and pretty gal at the uni.. Haha, i think they might be thinking who r this bunch of weird ppl from... cox when met any handsome guys, I was like rushing to take photo with him, end up called by the guys ‘老女人’.

Going around the uni abt half n hr, we 3 proceed to Pratunam. Hey hey, we r back again! And i added 3 more t-shirts and 1 more pants to my wardrobe.

We back Suk 11 around 1pm plus, then settle our luggage and use the time left to explore Suk 11.. 6 days down and we not even ve time to truly exploring this unique guesthouse. If there's a chance, there's must be a chance, I ll back to Suk 11 again...

--> at Suk 11

( thanks wg n wk for helping us to leave our footprint on Suk 11)

Right at airport, after taking a simple meal... I had no more strength to move around, my energy had been used up in the pass few days... Even the attractive duty free zone could not make me awake. On that moment, just wanna find a place to sleep properly.

(Left: real and fake burberry)

At Msia time, 8pm, we reached Senai airport.. there's end of my sweet and memorable Bangkok trip. I ll definitely back to the Land of Smiles again, i tell myself. Bangkok is special to me, it was my first trip aboard ( excluded Singapore), it was my first planned trip. I wanna share my experience with others:

Do not overlook Bangkok, it is a special city with contrast style of life, it is a place where you can find ur own stepping stone, it is a place of freedom and it is a place full of surprise and mystery that u need to discover urself.

&, Do not lookdown of Bangkok, it is much safer than KL Malaysia, at least from my eyes.

So, total up, i spent around RM1280 for the trip including airport tic n tax, accomodation, food, transport and shopping. Abt Rm200 was used in Shopping. =) I regret not buying more t-shirt. =(

曼谷的第五天

曼谷的第五天

Today ll be a full day tour at Pattaya. Beach, Sky, Coconut tree =) yeah, we need some fresh nature air during the tour. You see, the day before was our shopping day n exploring Bkk city town, yesterday was our cultural day where we had visited the rural side of Bangkok, encountered wild animals . So, today ll be our beach day.

Never nevertheless, we did not realise the journey to Pattaya was torturing. Morning, becox of some misunderstanding in arrangement, almost 8.30am only we started our journey from Bangkok to Pattaya, so the 2 hrs was basically wasted to fetch other tourists from Khaosan road. ( that's becos we ordered for private tour where the tour guide would only bring 6 of us) and end up ours was the join tour which had dragged our percious 2 hrs time in Pattaya. $%&&*, we nearly need to squeeze 4 person in 3-ppl seat. Luckily at last not.



Forget about all the unhappy things which we need to take a slow cruise over to coral island. When u ve nothing to do on the 'big boat', the only thing that come to our mind is ' photo sessioning'. Hehe, see how well we 6 person be the model; u can find happy pose, sad n depress pose, fierce n solemn n of course our handsome n pretty look.

( Wk looked vy man n serious in this photo)

Shirlin, JJ and Wk tried the chute, as for me... cox of phobia of Height n Sea 惧高海诊.. esp deep sea... i didn't try =). Then i was entrusted to take photos for them who were up on the sky.

So, after almost 5 hrs travelling by van+boat means, finally reached Coral Island...Yes, it's definitely worth to come this place, the water was crystal clear, the sand was so white and smooth like a carpet. U feel like jumping in the water immediately.

At coral island, u can try many types of water activities, we took the banana boat for RM20 perperson.. I finally tasted wat's called Banana boat, not like in Redang trip which we need to fall in the water ourselves, this time, the Banana boat uncle was vy nice and friendly guy who tried every means to drag us down the boat. ( imagine, we had wkuan n wgeng on the boat, haha) so, i really appreciate the uncle's effort.

After that, we had left only half n hr time to soak in that crystal clear water, we played ' monkey snatches slipper' game. A bunch of 23 yrs old ppl played monkey snatch slipper game...-_-" , that's my idea anyway...

So the short and percious 1 hr plus time at coral island beach ended... Even though the whole journey looked tiring cox of the travelling time, i did enjoy the moment at the beach... recall my memories in Redang =). The person who suffered most was cping, he had seasickness.


( this 2 guys: jj n wk can sleep from the start of journey to the end. fantastic)

We back to Suk 11 around 7.30pm. After a bath n rest, we decided to go to a restaurant ' Cabbages and Condom' located near Nana. I found this restaurant in the forum, ppl recommended it for its special decorations. And the restaurant was opened by the former Health minister of Thailand, to promote the use of condom n prevent spreading of AIDS.

( the table was full of condoms deco)

The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we all had a 'wow' expression. The whole restaurant was decorated by condoms and poster abt safe sex. After dinner, we were even given free condom (instead of mint). =P. We even tried our luck on 'sex'? for the day, haha... 'Wheel of Sex' i called that.





( I got +20: safe sex. use 1 condom) =D


Cp and i tried the half n hour massage at the restaurant too while the other 4 went to Suan Lum Night Market. The massage session: emm, i'm very sensitive to ppl touching n rumbing my legs... i think she got mine 笑穴 perhaps.

For the next day, no more 5.45am... but tmr ll be the last day for us in Bangkok. Oh, i seemed to start miss the place.

曼谷的第四天

曼谷的第四天

Forth day. Today we were going to visit Kancanaburi, a small province outside Bangkok, abt 2 1/2 hr journey to reach the place. The focus of the day is Tiger Temple, but we were told that the tour included a visit to River Kwai, Elephant riding, waterfall n bamboo riffing n lunch, and is only RM90 including transport. That's one of the reason i highly recommend Mama tour if u r visiting Bangkok.

So another day to wake up at 5.45am, felt a bit moody during the day. Maybe of the constipation problem and the tiredness accumulated these few days.

Again, we took our rush breakfast at Suk 11 reception area, actually, we were only supposed to take breakfast at 7am, luckily they allowed us to pack some food.

Along the journey to kancanaburi, after some reallocation of seating arrangement, we 6 person were put together with 3 friendly angmoh. They r actually exchange student to Shanghai studying Chinese, and now b4 gg back to their home country, they head down to south east Asia. According to them, they have been visiting Malaysia, Bali, Singapore n now Bangkok.

Our first station was Elephant Riding, which at first i thought was not that interesting but end up elephant riding could be the most exciting destination for this tour. The elephant that Shirlin n i took ride on was called Pham Phong, 30yrs old, male. From the trip too, i learnt that elephant ve a pregnancy period of 2 yrs 8 month, izit true? so long!.. Human 9 mths ald bui tahan, not to say 2 yrs. The weather was not hot too, it's quite enjoying to ride on elephant.

(on the left, the small monkey called Toto at elephant riding place)

After elephant riding, we went to Bamboo riffing, an additional item for the tour. So it is basically just sitting on the bamboo looking out at the scenery and walking across the hanging bridge as well. Then, our tour guide+ driver brought us to a small food stall for lunch, that was the first meal we had without Tomyam n curry, simple dishes with most made up of vegetables, it's actually tasted vy good. and that's the first meal i think the guys can eat without considering the portion of rice cox can add more if not enuf.. Hehe. To the end of the trip , we have come with a conclusion that Thai ppl eat less rice, their meal portion is vy small.

( our 3 angmoh friends)


great lunch=)

So after lunch, we went to a small Waterfall along the journey, nothing much to mention cox we had only half n hour there n the waterfall, emm... Kota Tinggi one is much better, bigger.

Next is the focus of the day, Tiger Temple, here the tigers are keeping wild, not only tiger, the temple was some how like a natural conserve zoo. Wild boars, horse, peacock, goat n so on, all without fences blocking them , u can even go near them, just that u dare or not. That was the first time i was near tigers at less than 0.001mm... n touched them with my hands, take photos with them =)

The last place is River Kwai and the Death Railway, maybe we did not know abt the history behind this railway bridge, i think somehow related to 2nd world war where many ppl had died during the war while building this bridge. something like that... so, apparently we went there just to ve a look, but end up we were attracted by a jade selling stall opposite the bridge.. Haha.

We back Bangkok Khao san road at around 7pm plus, after settled next day Pattaya trip, we decided to have our dinner tonite at the hawker stalls along Khao San road, hey, the popiah, patai goreng, n something like roti canai tasted really nice le... wat's make the dinner more interesting was we were sitting besides the road , with no chairs n tables. Photos proved everything, just look down =)





And that is, day four ended with a nice memories, I look forward to the next trip bringing my family here, revisit this tiger temple n Pham Phong..

Tomorrow, argh, another 5.45am... =(
