Simply not ordinary cherry

Please... Please... Learn to pronounce CHERYL! Che~~ryl~~ Is share-rel lahhhh. Definitely NOT CHERRY!!! Gotta put a L after it. I didn't know since when I named after myself a fruit name, although kind of cute name for me according to colleagues. Buek~

Two person wanna speak to Cherry today. And I was the one who answered them with "Huh?! Who?", w/o expecting they were suppose looking for me--Cheryl instead! Ended up I concede to them: Yes, I am. But I am Miss Lim. Fuh, totally abandoned my Cheryl, letting them Cherry me... How come my adorable Cheryl has become some sort of by-product of cherry's awkwardness.

There's reason why I don't call myself Cheryl, but I do write myself as Cheryl in email, which led to the situation above, because... My manager is SHARON. Try to call Sharon and Cheryl, in quick... Two will answer u.
Now they address me as Ms Lim, which I found also like calling Christean (collegue) in murmuring. Arghh. YC ME lahhh!

Another thing, one of my collegues so likes to 'funny' Daphne (another colleague). Pun intended. This is due to her mouth-slipped 'phanie' syndrome. U know... Stephanie (collegue too), Tiffany, etc. So she always DAPHANIE Daphne, even trained by several times!

Funny collegues with still-okay Monday blue.@@

Yea Handbags～ They are signature

LA Times Magazine recently has featured their new 50 topic on the Signature Handbags (Cachet or Carry), which really keeps my eyes wide-opened. 

All fifty pieces of handbags are definitely mind-blowing for the avid luxury handbags collector. Yeah, I am just excited as them...for what? for identifying each of them. Shhhh! 

50 are way too many for way, but it's kind of fun, glancing at these little cute illustrations with their unique names. Eye-catching at those handbags are totally different with hand-feeling on them! HaHaHa. It's okay, one day, one day I will, you know...~ 

Credited Source: 50: Signature Bags - LA Times Magazine
O/S: Okay lah, at least I still know 1/5 of them.  Meh~ and one more thing, my brother just rolled his eyes while seeing me edited the pictures above. LOL "Women. Sigh~"

Left right left

Still remember when we are were in old-school-days, marching ruled most of our co-curricular activities~
Awesome!! if you love to march;
Horrible!! if marching is not your cup of tea.

Baris~ ~ Baris~ sedia!

Squad~ ~ Squad~ Kena kanan lurus!

Dari kiri ke kanan, cepat jalan! 

For me, marching I still like it, but not too fond of it. It's outdoor's marching man~ Nay, no way for me to burn my fair skin. HAHA *just kidding*
Marching could be fun, hilarious and patterned, besides the grim face and rigid body...
I can't imagine how they are trained into getting this precision. Hard work it is!!!


p/s: amazing part starts at 1:36

Another truly-amazing kind of marching. Sure you are familiar with this. The "robotic" march
I was dumbfounded when I first watched this n years ago. SALUTE them!


o/s: their legs have strong stamina indeed.

Longest in the world

Another interest thing to add into my GKnow-library.
What do you know~The Guinness World Records as one of the longest place-names in the world goes to:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu
- a name for a hill in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, which can be roughly translated from Maori as "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one."

LOL. I found this for fun!
Pronunciation of this "mighty" noun~



After seeing this, I think I could probably name my house as "yigekeyirongnayijiawukoudewennuanwojiwoyongyuandebifenggang"

HAHAHA.

A Word On Statistics

I get to know her when I first encountered with her impressed Nobel Prize winning poetry (quite random), which is

"The Three Oddest Words"

Then I did some info-searching on her which was quite intriguing...
She is a polish.
She is Wislawa Szymborska.

In the year of 1996, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to her "for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light ion fragments of human reality"

Deep enough? Just keep it slow~

Few days ago, I was having some time for some meaningful readings (of course not via books), I found another interesting poetry by the lovely Mdm Szymborska, adapted from the Miracle Fair: selected poems of Wislawa Szymborska.

"A Word On Statistics"

Out of every hundred people,
those who always know better:
fifty-two.

Unsure of every step:
almost all the rest.

Ready to help,
if it doesn't take long:
forty-nine.

Always good,
because they cannot be otherwise:
four -- well, maybe five.

Able to admire without envy:
eighteen.

Led to error
by youth (which passes):
sixty, plus or minus.

Those not to be messed with:
four-and-forty.

Living in constant fear
of someone or something:
seventy-seven.

Capable of happiness:
twenty-some-odd at most.

Harmless alone,
turning savage in crowds:
more than half, for sure.

Cruel
when forced by circumstances:
it's better not to know,
not even approximately.

Wise in hindsight:
not many more than wise in foresight.

Getting nothing out of life except things:
thirty (though I would like to be wrong).

Balled up in pain
and without a flashlight in the dark:
eighty-three, sooner or later.

Those who are just:
quite a few, thirty-five.

But if it takes effort to understand:
three.

Worthy of empathy:
ninety-nine.

Mortal:
one hundred out of one hundred --
a figure that has never varied yet.

(translated from polish by Joanna Trzeciak)

Chinese version available here

Although this was written at the late 90's, Madam Szymborska did contribute some witty and wonderful figures in statistics of the humanity purely from her point of view, even until this decade, I think it applies~
As i explored more about Szymborska, I was saddened by her death's news, which happened recently.
In a memory of Wislawa Szymborska (1923 - 2012)

Perhaps you might find all these bored, dull or tedious...but nvm.
I was never in love with all these literature stuff too, but when I encountered one as meaningful as these, I would fall for them instantly, because Wislawa Szymborska was able to write and embrace humanities.

I enjoy many beautiful things in this world as I am not one of the "thirty", and I try to be one of the "twenty-some-odd at most" and "eighty-three" sooner or later~ because I will always be one of the "one hundred out of one hundred".

Thank you for reading...^^

那五年的中学时光

Finally 我的“述说中学生涯”诞生了～
这是“再见小时候...苑钏”的续集篇...青春时期了~
没有太多的激情感动，再也平凡不过了。

原本这是个难产，我压根儿都不想回忆中学时光的，因为那时我是打着“不想长大”的念头的。停顿在“小时候”是多么美好的事情。奈何一些突如其来的事使我不得再次缅怀中学那五年的美好时光。
o/s 唉，语文用法真的很“棘手”eh.... 退步中...

二OO二年的第一场环境转换记
你可知道那时候要踏入依不啦啦欣是件不容易的事咧～全科优等才会被优先理会也。很臭美一下的学校，但吾还是爱吾校的。哈哈。十四位小学同学 （陈林黄谢刘杨翁彭温高）就这样被入取了。哇，要记得这些人突然有些困难。犹记得登记日的那天，我爸好像是“舍弃”了我，只好由妈妈代劳了，那时很是生气我爸的不负责任。草草的，然后我就这样认识了几位新好友咯，她们就是倪同学，陈同学，黄同学，洪同学，林同学和邹同学了。要知道在中一认识的朋友以为将来会是以后的好友，那是未知数的。

二OO三年不“平凡”的开始
我终于分班了，是甲班也，而且我的隔壁同学竟然是殷同学喔，那是我做梦也想不到的。因为在中一就久仰她的大名了，所以那时认识她是有点小紧张的。话说“大名”得来全大费功夫，她可是上课老师的第一忠实听众，不允旁人有所扰乱哦。其实这是对的示范啦，哪儿像我们爽就听，不爽就不听，很不象话！我只是有点被她的“模范生”的光环给压力到。因为她是学长嘛，所以最烦人的是不能用涂改液咯。
惨了，我的中二回忆就只有围绕在这件事了，其它的根本都唤不起记忆了。

二OO四年不“平凡”的后续
又要分班了，我的伙伴依然是殷同学，而她还是那么的“专心逼人”，我惭愧极了。。。那时班上其实还有好多隐约的故事可以一起回想的。在这一年渐渐的就开始注意到一位姓钟的同学，性格有点孤僻的说（是过去式啦，现在是判若两人吧！同意不? 好像是因某人的缘故，朋友的力量好伟大啊～）。还有不忘了是考PMR的一年哦。考完了，就是做义工的时候，我记得大家一齐同心协力绘出的壁画呢！

年纪过了二十，脑力还真的有退化了，中一至中三的生活，眨眼间就这样过了。。。记得Pn Leong可是我见过最好的地理老师，数学就是Pn Ng了。最讨厌的当然是马来文学了，一生中就读了那三本长篇马来小说了：Aku Anak Timur, Kapten Hassan Wira Bangsa 和 Merdeka Merdeka. 课外活动方面，我是废柴哈哈，只求过关，不求名堂，很衰的是，我的Sultan运动组那几年都名落孙山的。朋友之中发生的事也不计其数，有闹翻的，有小冲突的，有假面的，有巧妙的，突然很同调的，当然也少不了小情侣咯。

二OO五年新的“开始”
上了中四好像是我感觉最坏的一年了，因为没了殷同学的压力，上课总是心不在焉，还好我开始补习了。那时给我最有满足感的科目非历史，高级数学和会计莫属了。我只跟某些人好，记得以前好像有跟过谁吵架，回想起事情的原委，很幼稚哦。LOL
中四参与了一个我觉得获益不浅的活动 - Choir班。原以为大家在胡同学的带领和努力下，我校可以再下一城，事与愿违奈何只获得区比赛二奶，当时我们热泪盈眶，失望极了。不是胡同学的不好，只是不忿评判的裁决。塞翁失马，我校虽然输了比赛，但依然荣获州教育局的邀请到了宏愿礼堂和州体育馆上演了两场盛况空前的表演。*无比感动的回忆*

附上大合照一张

o/s 我被陈同学给遮了。哈哈。

二OO六年“完美”的结局
收起了玩耍的心情，准备面对中学的关键大考了。我上了一班非凡的甲班，个个都是劲爆的读书的料，几乎所有科目都90分以上，我傻眼了，把我都比下去了，也只好尽力了。因为得完成什么道德教育课业，我们还史上到访了孤儿院。没错，原谅我就是这样的女生，中学的我是那么的注重学业～有哪一次去拜拜，许愿望不是求学业猛进之类的，哈哈～ 其它的事我就尽量置身之外了。

好了不说学业了，就说我们面对的大事件吧。毕业旅行！很大型有趣一下，有自创制服，毕业歌等耶。因为那件事，我们也闹了有一些不欢，制服颜色啦，巴士座位啦，幸好最终都一一圆满解决。同时有几件很遗憾的事，我见证了一些友谊腐朽的过程，从双方的热诚到各自的冷漠。还有还有，毕业的晚宴记得吗？现场的几段肺腑宣言有感人喔～
至于我呢，那时自己“流行”了一套什么“坦白”的大道理。我有时还真的对某件事一针见血呢，好像很伤人和有弄哭谁了。哈哈哈哈。真的服了我～只能说人长大了，这套愈来愈不可行了。

那五年的中学时光就以一段“聚餐”及“规划已久的旅程”化上完美的结局了。天下无不散之筵席。有缘再见～

Interesting how it's made

Curiosity killed the cat, but it doesn't kill me... It makes me wanted to know more about the things existed in this universe, the creation or invention of the products etc. It's about GK (general knowledge) right?

Food processor to-be, that's me!
Knowing-how the food is processed using the present technology  is not enough for me per se, I am curious about everything else. [Erm~ simply not like the chef-cooking though. Fyi cooking is not my shtick~]

I have been spending many secs on thinking how a product is made...since 12 I think. I loved to puzzle up myself. heh. I feel the greatness of spending my golden 10-mins leisure time (that's my only free time) by watching a know-how technology. This hobby of mine is all started from one of my courses studied, "pioneered" by Dr. K of course. Hehe.

Sharing of tonight is the making of coins. This is a crazy making I would say...
and one question: don't you think the coin should be more valuable and appreciated than notes already, but how could the thing be the converse? When you watch the engraving process, omg gotta love the engraver's patience.



Another random clicked.
Oh men, the condom making~ The process seems cute to me. haha. It is indeed blown into the packet.



Finally it's food's turn...in case you don't know how potato chips are made.



Browse for many more "How it's made" at youtube like pencil, camera, mirror, contact lenses, sugar etc.

Want this Like Now?

Take a breath,

1, 2, 3 

Plunge into the deep ocean, soothing the agitated cells.

That's what I wanna do now...

跃入深海，安抚下身体里晃荡的细胞

Dark clouds go away

I feel awful when reading someone's emotional posts, especially when I am (was) having mine. Going through the rough patch isn't easy, and it makes you feel like forever in it. Nobody could really help you out, besides giving abundance of advice and support.

Things are growing harder as we grow up. Just like the dark cloud: when it grows bigger and saturated with water vapour, eventually it will rain; after raining, there will be rainbows, sunlight and fresh air. And the cycle goes again, and again. Well, this is life! Every cloud has a silver lining though...

For the last few weeks, I had been so tensed up with the food project that it took me like forever to complete it. It consumed me for a day just to finish a table! Too much to say...

Sometimes I feel like I am just a moron for taking such a long time to complete a tiny part of a task, while someone can just finish it all within six hours at the eleventh hour.
"Power of doing at last minute"? It could be~

But, I just know myself fairly well that I think of almost every possible drawback in details while writing every sentence in my project. Perfection, fussy, or just knocking myself out?

Arrgh, forget the negative part... who cares~

Finally, after working on all cylinders, I I I I just FINISHED IT.... Finished but haven't complete it. Next week, I will kick your ass *hopefully*
I create a false factory like a boss, sure I am going to give the best of  mine, it could be my dream comes true one day. Hah!

Creameo please be alive~

幸福难不难

经过屡次的“下一次”与告吹，我终于登入影院在大荧幕把它给看了！
之前在台湾上映时，由于粉丝的剧透，我早就知道结局了。 安真（总会）是选择天蔚的，毕竟这是大家所要的结局。但站在萌萌的角度，自私的“温sir粉”，我当然想安真和瑞凡和好如初啊。呵呵。。。

犀利人妻最终回，对我而言剧情其实有点仓促和简略，因为那到底并不是连续剧，不能把每个细节都交代一二。

还有大马版的似乎剪辑了不少片段～

我了解,

但它的几分感动依然存在的：

瑞凡重遇薇恩，Oliver开口叫他一声“爸爸”；

安真向瑞萱倾诉到底什么是爱的结局；

瑞凡劝萌萌是时候放手了，让安真去寻找属于自己的幸福；

天蔚的痴情等待。。。

（唉唉～我承认确实哭点有点低，且很容易被带进角色中）

它的搞笑：

郝氏夫妻的搞笑片段不得不赞

它的原声带：

郁可唯的幸福难不难已是听出耳油了，第一次听到就被黄婷歌词，宇珩的曲给感动了。

林凡的一个人生活是经典的蜕变，小时候从“天地传说之鱼美人”就陪伴着我到如今的“犀利人妻最终回”。

符致逸 Love You More Than Anyone， 简单浪漫的歌曲配合电影中的情节～

它的语录等等。。。

一个人 一辈子幸福难不难？ 
如安真说言：恋爱没有保鲜期，婚姻也没有保固期 
给那些曾经受过伤害或将开启幸福冒险页的同学， 
张开双手，就能拥抱天空了。 
幸福需要勇气和冒险 ^.^

“犀利人妻最终回：幸福男 不难” 之 温瑞萱语录： 
每件事情都有正面和負面，就看你怎麼去平衡。 
但是如果你硬要鑽牛角尖的去放大每個小問題， 
那總有一天會變成大問題！ 
你每天都在擔心害怕未來，那現在又有什麼意義呢？ 
快樂的時候就要放聲大笑，難過的時候再抱頭痛哭就好了。 
經過這麼多年這麼多事， 
現在重要要的是,你要誠實面對你自己的心，
那才是真正的勇敢！

~共勉之~

Recalling Benjamin Button...

For what it's worth: it's never too later or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not. I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

-- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 

献给最值得的：它永远不会太晚，或（以我的例子来说），太早成为你想要成为的人。因为它是没有时间局限的，你想停止脚步的时候就停止吧。你可选择改变自己或始终如一，那是没有规则限定的。我们可以度过美好时光，也可以虚度光阴。但我希望你获得精彩。我希望你能看到令你惊叹的事物，我希望你能体会到从未有过的感觉，我希望你遇到具有不同观点的人，我希望你的一生能让自己过得自豪。若是你发现你的生活并不是如此，我希望你能有勇气重新来过。

逆时钟坏了，被水淹没了。。。

观后感：时隔三年，在偶然的机会下观看了这部电影。有人说故事平平，没特色；有人说故事感人，值得一看。见仁见智。这电影我可是重看了几乎五遍。每次重看都会产生不同的感想。故事虽然没有英雄动作片的高潮迭起，但Benjamin的内心戏，与Daisy，母亲，其亲生父亲及陌生人的对手戏可是给了我深刻的影响。人老病死，对Benjamin而言恰恰相反，他经历了一段“非凡”的人生：从被父亲遗弃的怪胎老人婴儿，再逐渐的年轻。他是返老还童～虽然躯壳正渐渐地年轻化，但心灵却在慢慢衰老。他想做个好老伴，好父亲，奈何他的“岁月”不允许。最后一幕，Baby Benjamin在年迈Daisy怀中去世更是令我唏嘘不已。

Make peace for a day

I know today (21st Sept) is some of my friends' bday, but I have never know today is also the International Day of Peace.

*Say Peace* can you imagine me myself indeed grinned at the screen while typing this? HA HA

People celebrated 1st ever World's Peace Day 30 years back ago, until it was officially declared as Peace Day by United Nation. Speaking of "peace", no war - that's what I imagine. Same answer?
I searched about what's the day stands for.
hmm, and the day is not merely devoted to those have political or terrorism hatred,  but it can be also devoted personally. Say, myself! I have abundant thoughts of Peace.

Recently having impacted by the "final year effect", I barely see the near future, all I have is some vague answers. Things come just in time and I have to multitask on them. For the first time, I feel hard to manage these poped-up problems. Maybe I am still having "a-semester-jet-lag". Brain malfunctioned already. *consolable-thinking"

Right now, I just need to make peace at myself~
After having two weeks of lectures, coincidentally that's what I am going to do today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow - days of ceasefire, mind-meditation...
And, Peace shall be my instant ingredient to get rejuvenated after the weekend, and go on my life without (with less) resentment and panic stations.

I can sense the peace surrounding myself now: blogging this whilst watching this.



"Take it easy, face yourself as well as others with a kind heart."
... still have long journey for me to see, hear and experience. I hope my wishes, your wishes will have come true in 20 years. 2032 =) Stay peace ~

I'm drenched

" Certain song with its lyric video alone would be enough to impose great emotion 

than any other songs with their music videos. 

Every single word is engraved in your mind, deep down in your heart.

I'm drenched in the lyric, accompanied with the engaging voice of her Wanting. "

P/S: a friend of mine recommended me the song, it was until I get addicted to the "You Exist In My Song". 

It did not suit my mood at the time, so I promised to replay it again at another good timing, 

and I am drenched all the time now. 

"Drenched" - good word to be used always.

Tonight, I am a foodie at Fontana (9/15)

This is a random experience and a new experience...
Tonight by sheer chance, a friend of mine indeed asked me to test on a restaurant's called Fontana Cafe & Catering which is run by a local lady, Ms Riza. We went there with a group of new friends.

So what's so special about the name of Fontana?
Well, according to Ms Riza, Fontana is actually named after her husband's family name and Fontana families in Italy indeed involve in renowned hospitality business (hotel accommodation) too.

For me, Fontana is definitely an ideal one-stop cafe for foodies with various kind of halal cuisine namely, Western cuisine esp Aussie Food, Mediterranean cuisine, Thai cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Malay cuisine etc.
Let's have a look on some of the very-Fontana-style of cuisine:-

OZ Burger 
Highlights: signature Aussie burger with ostrich meat patty, turkey slides, beetroots, tomato salad and egg layers

 I would call it the only-one exotic burger because this is my first time to munch a giant burger with a thick ostrich patty inside. First time tasting on the ostrich meat, it gives me subtle taste similar to beef. You should try the meat yourself, maybe you would fall in love with OZ like an Australian!

Fontana Burger
Highlights: burger with ostrich meat patty, harsh-brown, tomato salad, avocado, mayonnaise and special tomato sauce from Yemen and cheese

Another burger creation from Fontana with multi-layered texture and mouthfeel. To describe more on the ostrich meat, it's actually tough when you first biting on it, but after that the meat will be gradually melting along with your mastication.

Hold on,
Fyi, this ostrich meat patty is 100% freshly home-made by the owner and the ostrich meat is claimed to be an alternative healthier meat than beef, chicken and pork due to its lower cholesterol level and fat content. Healthy choice of the food, it is~~  *wink*

Hawaiian Chicken Burger
Highlights: burger with grilled chicken chop, pineapple slides, relish and special spread

Here's my third giant burger. Can I just use three adjectives to describe this HCB: succulent, palatable and just perfect! Never try never know you have such a gigantic appetite!

Here's come the motto: "Fontana's burgers: we're bigger than others" 
and of course with reasonable price. Worthwhile I would say...
Besides, choices of burger patty are available for customers, you can try either venison, rabbit meat or beef.

Special Chicken Chop
Highlights: chicken chop with lemon batter

Instead of dusting the chicken chop in some flour with breadcrumbs, Ms Riza dips it with lemon batter for frying. Hmmm, another innovative idea to prepare chicken chop... The crispy batter coating the chicken chop gives you a unique way to taste on chicken chop with a tang of lemon, based with savory gravy. Yummy~
Parmesen Crumb Chicken is recommended too.

Mexican Nacho
Hightlights: tortillas served with minced beef in chili con carne, red kidney beans and picked jalapenos slides

Thumbs up!!! This will be my all-time favourite (for my friends too): what a satisfying starter with the crispy tortillas topped with seasoned minced beef,  beans, tomatoes and cheese!  Good accompaniment and it's just too appetizing... for me to go for lavish meal onwards at Fontana.

Dining at Fontana, you could always have your own mood-selection of tea as there are up to 10 kinds of tea for you to choose.

For our first visit to here, Ms Riza recommended us to drink Billy Tea - a blend of Australian bush with smokey aroma. The term of Billy does not called upon a person but refers to tea brewed in a billy pot (small pot used on a campfire for boiling tea). "Billy up to the fire" basically means "put the kettle on".
So, there's an interesting history behind Billy Tea.
Of course, if you are not a tea-lover, other beverages are available in the shop.

Last but not least, Fontana serves food only without MSG.
"I've never use MSG in my cooking, neither I keep MSG at home" as Ms Riza said.
Also, Fontana is so far the only Australian Cafe recognized by Ms Majell Hind, the Consul-General of Australia High Commission in Malaysia.

The picture shows Ms Riza was showing the Fontana's recognition by Australia High Commission.

Verdict: Good value of Aussie food with reasonable prices in a localized Aussie atmosphere. 20 bucks will be enough to give you a full stomach. ^^

再见小时候的......苑钏

九五年的回忆。那一年，我六岁上了一年的幼儿园，有黄色的海军衣裳，还有男子头耶。。。对了！忽然想起究竟我那年是“真空”上学的不？呵呵！记忆最深的那次也是我一生中用了最久的“右手”了，总总有一年。那也是老妈“逼出来”，很不自然啊～

九六至九九年的回忆。那四年发生的一切只有淡淡的回忆描写好了。只知道老爸报晚了名额，所以上了最后一班 - 1F，已经不记得我是否有哭着去上学了。不妨对你说，苑钏小姐我可是很安静的小孩哦，所以朋友不多。最烦恼的是很多人都不晓得念我的名字，总是把它念成“宛川”。

在认识了一些小学朋友，也是同个住区邻居后，就开始混着一起玩了咯。那是电脑，无线网络还未盛行的时代，所以每个傍晚我们都会有自个儿安排的游戏节目哦，如：“踩脚踏车，抓迷藏，123木偶人，弹珠bakuli, 打羽球。游乐场是我们必去的老地方，荡秋千，跷跷板，溜滑梯。。。。。。无一不晓！犹记得，小时候，磕磕碰碰，跌跌撞撞可是我们一定会经历的事情。“磕磕碰碰”是指小朋友之间的乱架，而“跌跌撞撞”就是指擦伤跌倒了。我身上总有跌倒的小痕迹。

还有还有，我是个很爱栽种花草树木的女孩噢。最成功的结晶品就是我家后院的木瓜树了，但有一次，好像是因弟弟们惹了隔壁小孩的气，所以在我们外出回来后，我发现我亲爱的木瓜树竟然被人砍了一个斧头，还把我辛苦“栽培”的花儿都给锄了！尼玛的顽皮的小孩。幸亏木瓜树还坚强的活了下来。我也大哭了一场咯。

九七年的金融风暴，懵懂的我并没有在关注它，但九七年的大烟霾我就知道有这回事了。

九八我小三那一年，PTS是入学以来最难的考试了。如果通过这一关，你就可以一级跳，小四也就罢读了。

九九年，我上了小四，（PTS只有一人过关，那个人不是我）班级任叶老师给了我最深刻的影响，因为是她给了我全新的名字发音：苑钏yuan4chuan4；在那之前我并没有要翻查我名字的读音的意思。

差点忘了，小学时代，我可有很羡慕一些同学哦，我羡慕她们的才华还把他们当成了学习的榜样。他们就是现在的：刘同学, 陈同学，杨同学，郭同学和黄同学了（你们认识的）。他们可是学校明日之星噢，载歌载舞，能言善辩，琴棋书画无所不通。我还有两位最要好的朋友：李同学和叶同学。只可惜，我们并没有把握彼此的缘分，我们失去联络了。

二OOO年的回忆。在还没迎接这一年的到来，“千年虫”事件就闹的沸沸扬扬的，我并不很了解事情的来龙去脉，反正大人说了算嘛。上了小五，我开始对学业很努力。其实并不对，我一直以来都对学业很拼，不求一定要名列前茅，但绝对不能名落孙山。我也是很随缘的。。。哈哈。小五令我最振奋的是不就是拿了全级第一咯。哈哈哈哈，那一次我终于打败了劲敌刘同学也。

二OO一年的记忆。提起O一年，有谁会忘了那轰动全球的九一一事件。那年我和两个姐妹一同参加了星报剪辑比赛，主题还是九一一事件呢。小六同学要面对的最后一关就是评估考试了。根据学校的记录，评估考试有史以来最好的成绩为十二人考获全科A等。那一年，我们甲班正好打破了记录，十三人获七科A等。我很为我几位好朋友伤心，因为他们并未如愿以偿。事情发生的好坏往往不能一朝就断定了。他们失落于这关，并不是坏事。至少我知道他们现在还是过得很好，甚至比我成功。塞翁失马，焉知非福～

小学毕业了，我依然是乖巧的小女孩。朋友不多，宅女一个。

好了，就述说到小学生涯好了。

What am I doing?

Well, I am not a nerd. But, I can totally amuse myself with this splendid idea: surfing on masterpieces of art, photography etc. Art-inspired freak, amateur artists, surreal photography all are "je ne seis quoi". 

You can always keep abreast with these brilliance here. 

For now, I want to share my latest interest in double exposure by Miki Takahashi, an awesome creator. 

Her series of portraits amazed me very much: Smoke, Inside, Out of shape, In Nature Sense, In Urban Sense, Two Sides of Personality. 

Appreciate these photos if you like them to support Ms Miki. =)

It's weird, I mean I am an avid fan of art but I am just not one of them who create these. I would rather be impressed by their creativity and originality though... 

PS, my fav series is In urban sense.

Live Chat with Mr Prof

Yeap, formal visit by Prof. and I have passed it with " 5: Sangat Memuaskan". HAHAHA. How so? Coz I watched it with my eyes - my SV indeed marked that "5" right before Prof on that visiting form. *So proud of myself* no threatening or flattering...

Look, I had been just informed few hours earlier that the visit was on exactly that day, and they were rushing from Penang, right after the Ling's. Hell no! I thought Prof would have given a week or a day notification. What was my reaction was not a reaction. I could not just stop them from coming?!
W.a.m, that's nothing, as my friends said: only a "chit-chatting" what~~ LOL

Prod did not know my location and he called me for confirmation. And, first reaction arrived at my place with his three post-grad students: "Wah, it looks like hotel."
Second, I was not surprised until he told me that he was from SP too. hehe
Third, he wanted to meet my sv and I simultaneously. So impromptu huh~
Fourth, he asked some random questions:

What does the factory produce? Pudding

What's main ingredient of the pudding? Carrageenan it is

What problems are you facing in pudding? Syneresis

How do you cope this? Constant research on the formulation of carrageenan and LBG. Different proportion is used.

Any lab test conducted? Erm, we do not have any in house lab, but we do some simple one like checking pH and Brix.

So what do you have learned from here? Mostly food safety management system, ISO docs and etc. Indeed, I have learned a lot. Like a whole lot... My sv and I have some learning exchange.

How long is your pudding shelf life? 18 months.

How do you test it? Uh uh, we do not test it, we outsource for people to test it.

Ok, then you know how? Uh uh, testing on the microb?

No... ok I let you know. There's a method called Accelerated Shelf Life Testing. Go find it out. Ermm, okay I will.

Fifth, ahha, end of the not-so-exciting chatting session which was conducted in rojak language. What do you know, I actually love to speak 1Malaysia language. He walked out the room, reminded my sv to fill in the sv's report and in fact he said "thank you and bye". *Ahem, forgot something? Excuse me, no any survey form for me? Coz my friends got it*

P/S: My sv was nervous than me myself during the live chat as he asked her what qualification she has had for her to work as food safety supervisor. Also, my sv was afraid to chat in English.
I comforted her: Language and qualification, they doesn't matter as far as you do the job well and you own the precious years of experience.

it's no longer a blogging day... it has changed...
Facebook is just enough for us to expresss our feelings and thoughts...
Somehow, fb can make you a cynosure of all eyes once you post something awesome in your page. (even if somebody posts your unpleasant lookings, you can also be a lime light!)

For once in my mind, I was thinking for what sort of reason that I have to make my private life becomes public? Is that a necessary for us to release our daily stress or just for somekind of fun that I can make from the others' approval?

Maybe I had been influenced by my oral speaking title...for having this obsession...

Sometimes, I was in doubt....whether to vent my emotions in the fb or as PM...
Even for several times, I have tried to convey my feelings, but people with the curiousity will try to get to know what had happened to you indeed...
It ain't a bad thing... At least it shows friends care about you (sincerely)

I try it in the ambiguous way so that I won't be too exposed...

Despite of that, it's still kinda hard to express what's in my mind... I mean it's more than what can be depicted in words.

Since it's difficult, I prefer to spend my emo day on my tod rather than sharing with people.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic; on the contrary, other options just available for me...

Da bo gong

I jz cant believe it!!! How danger it was when the firecracker exploded at HIS mouth?! I saw the firecracker on HIS mouth was lid and then PANNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!! And nothing jz happened to HIM! INCREDIBLE! I started to believe YOUR existence...

Today, my parents and I visited Kuala Kurau for a small DA BO GONG temple. Their purpose of this journey is Simple... craving for wealth... My dad hopes that he can also raise his $$ from 4D after my uncle told him that he has won 4D as given by the DA BO GONG...

Eventually, DA BO GONG divines 2 digits for my dad ie. 6 and 9... it's damn hard to guess what would be this 4D...... There's a mass numbers with the combination of 6 and 9.... many probabilities... but my dad still hope against it...
That's what Chinese loves right?... Digits and Money.

What really astonished me was the moment before leaving, DA BO GONG asked me to go in front HIM and HE gives me a lolipop...and suddenly uttered me a piece of advice, telling me not to be so hot tempered, I should amend my temper... Err, what could I say? It's BINGO, DBG!
I nodded my head saying that " I will", somehow...

Oh GOSH, how could YOU know my temper is that bad (lately only la....)?

I'm confused

I really hate the presence of ambiguity... It makes me feel depressing. I want a clear answer to release this question marks in my mind...
Perhaps, being ambiguous is a better solution. At least there is still a slender of hope...Who knows the outcome maybe bad one...
