我们下午四点多才进场， 所以并没有太多时间慢慢欣赏， 不过就算是走马看花， 还是能体会那充满中华文化的文艺气息。

时间不应许， 并没有观赏到《东方霓裳， 只能期待晚上的《龙凤舞中华》表演。 果然，《龙凤舞中华》并没有让我失望， 华丽的舞台， 多姿多彩的道具和衣裳，让人回味无穷的演出，仅是这演出， 也已经值回票价了。

小小提示：如再有机会， 可安排一整个下午和晚上的时间在这里， 那么就可以慢慢欣赏这两个合并的景点。

Macao- A City of Surprise

Macao- A City of Surprise

Macao, a Special Administrative Region of China was more commonly known as the City of Casinos. It comprises of Macao Peninsula (the main island), the Taipa and Coloane.

The moment before landing off at Macao Airport, the vast of sea view welcomed us. I was told Macao airport was surrounded by water, and then suddenly from nowhere at all, a small extended road appeared to let the plane landed. Just one small misjudgment, the plane may drop in the sea, I felt lucky we finally stood still in Macao.

After grabbing all the information, maps we needed, we rushed to board the airport bus to another part of Macao, the main island. We were staying in 名宿, which means people’s home near Flora Garden. It took quite some time for us to find the place but it never disappointed me. The room was nice and comfortable, with Japanese 榻榻米屋 design and landlord was a nice lady who really helped us lot during our 1 day staying in Macao.

Recommended by the landlord lady, we settled our lunch at a small noodle shop just right a street apart from the house. 鲜虾云吞面， MOP14, the prawn dumpling was nice and fresh, u can never get this in Sg or Msia.

After the lunch, we took the mini bus to 福融新街, visited the Ruins of St.Paul (大三巴牌坊) The Ruins of St.Paul was built in 1602-1640, symbolically as an altar to the city. Beside it, status the Mount Fortress (大炮台) . This area is named as the Historic Centre of Macao, encompassed architectural legacies interwining between China and Portugal culture

*Portugis historical street in Macao*vs * the ruins/churches vs* the casino

* street selling all sorts of delicacies in Macao*

Just right after the ruins, you can find a long street selling Macao famous delicacies like almond cakes, egg rolls which can only be found here. These are the best handy souvenirs for friends, so, don’t hesitate to buy more, you ll regret if you don’t do so as snacks in Hong Kong will be much more expensive. You can try the Pork chop buns and 炖奶 here , but I would say it tastes not as special as I guess. zuan’s milk jelly would taste better.

After a short visit of the Historic Island of Macao, we took a bus crossed over to Taipa where the airport is located. Tried the Portugal cuisine but nothing special, the oily pork cutlet even made my whole nite in Macao suffered. Right after the dinner, went to Venetian Macao, the 5 star casino+hotel in Macao, sadly, can’t describe how magnificent Venetian is, cox half of the time in Venetian for me was spent in the toilet, yes, toilet. I hate stomach pain and constipation during traveling, and now was only the first day. Anyway, even in the midst of pain, I can still feel the gorgeous of Venetian and the night view of Macao. The night scenery of Macao is definitely a ‘must see’ thing. Remember to take the free shuttle bus from Venetian back to Macao Island, sit by your left side, you will never forget the night view of Macao.

* Vetician Macao*
Macao is a special place. It surprises me of its contrary life during the day and night. The historical monuments, a place of religious worship during the day versus the ‘City of Entertainment’, casinos and bars that open late till the nite. You will definitely find your own pace and life in Macao.

After graduation

Unofficially, my 4 yrs university life ended yesterday.
The scary month of April gone so, I didn't realise at all. Welcome by a new wave of May life.
From the rushing of thesis report, to the settling of new home in B.Batok and to MOE offers, I never felt so much changes in just 1 month.

I know the road infront maybe not be smooth.
I know the people I am going to meet soon will be not truthful as I thought.
But, I need to accomodate to the new life after graduation.

I appreciate the offer of MOE at the real mean time.
Which solve tons of problems for me.
And now, before quiet down and prepare for my future job,
I would like a short break first, to Hong Kong, my 2nd overseas backpacking trip.
Hoping the H1N1 flu pandemic will stop as soon, would not like to have another disappointment again.... pls pls...

大学生涯， 意味着什么？

当大学生涯即将落幕时， 又意味着什么？

交上毕业论文的那时刻， 心抽了几分。

我即将结束的读书生涯， 即将步入人生另各阶段的开始。 心里很感叹， 原来， 要踏出第一步的确不容易。 这一步， 不再象以往由父母决定， 不能再倚赖他人。 厌倦了跟父母拿钱的日子， 想要以自己的能力， 反以照顾他们， 却又舍不得这无忧无虑的读书生涯。

曾经很想快点毕业， 找份工， 赚钱花。 现在要毕业了， 却感到茫然， 以后的路怎么走， 喜欢做些什么， 要做些什么， 我一点头绪都没有。 其实好想有人帮我安排，什么都不用想。

那天看到两只猫一幅悠哉闲哉躺在马路上， 突然有感而发， 上天为什么要制造猫这动物， 它活着的意义是什么？为了抓老鼠， 或成为人类的另类朋友？如果每样生物都有他存在的意义， 那么人类活着的意义在哪？我相信其实每一样生物有他自己的生命的定格， 还有和外物的联系， 形成他的命运。 而要怎样彩画你的人生， 由你自己决定。 前方的路也许一片茫然， 但我相信只要跟着自己的信念走， 总会找到那一条由我革画出的一条路。

南大情怀 （二）

大情怀 （二）

写着毕业论文的当儿， 想透透气， 继续我的南大情怀 （二）篇。

来到第二年，慢慢熟悉南大的步伐， 对着忙碌的功课与活动也已麻木。

第二年， 是疯狂的一年， 是快乐与无助交措的一年。

疯狂， 因为无数次的唱k跳舞， 被括称‘疯女人’， 数不清的下新山次数。

快乐， 因为找到知己， 陪伴我有时郁闷， 快乐， 难过的大学生涯。 但是付出的也不少， 从认识，欣赏，到接受对方的缺点， 和调解二十二年单身生活， 这过程中难免有时感到一丝丝失落感。

无助， 因为对SBS的功课压力， 学业上的绝望。

第二年， 朋友圈子慢慢加入了许多新成员， 有JJ, wg, wk etc etc... 但是和SBS的朋友， 可能因为疏远， 变得很少联络。 人， 有时不能顾及太多。

南大情怀 (一）

1 month more, I ll be leaving my second home in Sg. That's sound so contradict feeling.
When I reflected of my 4 yrs life in NTU, I could say, it was a memorable journey to me, both sad and happy moment. I meet new people, new things now and then. I learn new skills and lesson from failure. I cried, laughed and screamed in this University.

July 2005, 4 years ago, when I was just a little arrogant girl from a small kampung, with my dear hometown frens, Wenjian, the long-time fren that actually helped me alot along the way in NTU, Billy, the small eye KT fren and of course Shirlin, my prospective sister in NTU. 4 kampung people, doing different courses, with different perspective and personalities came together and eventually stayed together at Hall 9.

After FOC, which I truely appreciate the seniors for making it, get us to know more people and frens from other part of Malaysia, then, our circle of frens become bigger and bigger. Let me kindly remember who appeared in my first year life: First of all, Kuan Seong, the 大三脚 guy, Keyeng, the Kulai 仔, Ghean, the one living below our floor, Tchin, the Malacca smart one, Jp, the small and witty guy, Ah giap, another bamboo stick like me n others . and of course, my SBS dear frens, Jenny, the Sibu gal, my soulmate in SBS, James,my night jogging partner, Hanchi etc etc. I will never forget the dinner time at can 9, the night suppers, the night jogging, the small and big talks.

My first year in NTU turned out to be 'not much problem', if ther is any, that could only be my academic achievement. Not much home sick, no discipline record yet. Most of the time, i was turning around the cca, brainhunt, MSA late nite meeting, I have not much time to explore the NTU culture yet, passed by other CCA that I love to but didn't take up.

An important pinpoint which bring me closer to my frens in first year, the year end undergraduate trip to Redang, this was a trip i never forget, not because of the beautiful beaches,nor the unestimate underwater. But the moments we r together. I remember the night talks, the 'true or courage' games, all sorts of funny questions and answers, the ghosts stories, and of course the beach party...... that slowly bring out my crazyness towards singK and dancing.

Life of year one ended so. Like a life cycle, this was just the starting, the introductory phase, where new things jumbled in, new people come across and pass by in seconds, I encountered frens quarrels, the evil sides of gals in Year 1. All these sparking fire, endless gossip making my first year life ever colourful.

Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire

Seldom, there's a movie that can make me rate it 5 stars. 'Slumdog Millionaire' is one of them.

"..A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. "

(The story's summary i got from imdb. )

I knew long ago India has a discrimination of class, which was shown in this movie also. But i never know it was so bad. The movie has precisely bring out the balance of love and money. love the scene when it came to the last question, wher Jamal called his bro, Samal for help, and it wasLatika who took up the phone. When the host announced only 15 sec left for the phone call, wat's Jamal asked was just wher r u, how r u, Latika? The answer to the 2B Rupee ques seemed meaningless to him.
