bak kut teh outing

scrounge for food (you know what kind of food i mean..lol) --this is what i always wanted to do since i came to shah alam..and today i (in fact 'we') did it! right... on this fine morning two of my housemates and i began our "journey of food"..klang, here we come!! with a few other friends, we visited one shop well-known for its bak kut teh and had it as breakfast/brunch/lunch (whatever you would like to call) at 10 am!!! yes..at 10am..the shop was already crowded when we arrived and the stream of people never ceased!the main point is--the bak kut teh of that shop is really worth trying-nice soup, tender meat and most of all quick service..you dont have to wait till your stomach starts growling! a two people serving is really more than enough for two people, so cant really finish 'em in the end..after that we, the "food maniac" dropped by another shop to buy pao--famous for its handmade and special ingredients...all these really cure (at least part of) my homesick! hehe =)
p/s- special thanks to ms M who kindly chauffeured us besides treating us pao!!
below are some snapshots, enjoy~

a letter for you


you see..i feel secure, i feel good in your company. you gave me your hand when i need you most.i treasure you , because you are a good friend, too hefty the price to loose you..you know it, dont you? the bond is strong.

but, i cant really remember how or why..and when.. things began to change. or maybe only me who feel that? the warmth that used to be there is no longer there..standing besides a furnace, yet,i feel so cool, shivering deep inside me..i want to see your bubbly smile again..i want to feel your presence again..i wanna laugh and whine together again..really, i miss them all deeply..

am i too sensitive or...? i am not so sure..but i feel the change..but i cant afford it- the change...for umteenth times, i wonder..wonder why does this happen..i want to ask, but dont dare to bring up the issue--i never had this feeling before..why the distance? why that barricade? so dear, just let me know, if there is anything that i can do..

in silence i pray. i wanna pray for you and me..let god lead us out of darkness, because only He is able to do it

do take care friend.remember i will always stand by you

back again..

hey people..it has been ages since i last updated my blog..just dont have the momentum to blog during sem3..perhaps was too absorbed in something else..>.<..now that i am having my long semester break again..some friends are leaving soon as they had finished their pre-u courses; other college friends are enrolling into university ; friends in form6 are bracing themselves for the most challenging examination (good luck to all!);looking back at myself, i am still stuck at alvl..really cant wait to finish it ..sometimes i whine n complain, why other only take 1.5 years but mine is 2years..isn't that unfair? however it didnt not take me too long to realize the truth- no point of complaining, no matter what, i still have to move on.. in retrospect it isnt really a long or never ending 2-years..now that there is just one more sem to go and i feel this is really fast! how i wish that time will just freeze here!

had tonnes of happenings n stories during third sem..all sort of feelings flooded me when i recollect my memories-happy, desperate, confounded, blissful, disappointing....etc..i know deep in my heart, those knots have to be untangled, before they got worse..but how ? i am still scouring for the solution..

neway the best part about 3rd sem is none other than my biology field trip. although a few of us few were reluctant to go at first as it was scheduled before our finals, we never have a tinge of regret after the trip. instead, we feel so thrilled that we wanna go again..it was a three days two nights stay at the national park pahang.we stayed in a motel which was small but kinda comfortable..it doesnt really look inviting from the outside but facilities provided were quite decent, which include an air-cond and also water heater.we started off the first day with night walk..observing insects was highlight of the night..among those that we spotted were centipede, scorpion, stick insects, spider and....SNAKES!!! gosh the snake that could be fatal if we step on it just glided pass us, without me noticing it before one of our group members alerted us..fortunately he saw it before we made our next move..i cant imagine the consequences otherwise..besides, we saw deer too that night although it was not from a near distance deer watching..for the second day..oh before i move on.. we had our meal on a floating restaurant that was across the river..so for every meal, a jeep will bring us to the riverside and then we will cross the river by boat..back to the 2nd day,we had canopy walk in the morning. we were introduced to various types of flora..we move in a group of ten and the guide in our group was kinda good. his explanation really opened up my eyes. we went to the hanging bridge after jungle walk at about noon..half of the bridge was closed for maintenance work so we were unable to walk through the whole hanging bridge..anyway it was fun..especially when your friend walking in front of me tried to shake the bridge to scare me but i was just enjoying the sway-in-the-air without a lil fear..haha..after lunch, we headed for cave exploring ..that was really an enriching experience..all these while i thought caves are nothing more than a walkway surrounded by weird rocks or stalactite like what is shown in the movies...but i was totally wrong!i cant even walk straight in the cave, i had to creep n crawl n duck n etc..it was extremely dark the the smell was awful as there were many bats residing in the cave..every step has its own risk that we might slip or fall..as such we have to be very cautious.team work is of utmost importance here..apart from bats, we saw snakes too and lil crabs in the small stream..sadly i was not able to snap any photos during the cave exploration as we has to leave our bag outside...okay thats for cave exploration. we had bbq at night ..though it was not really a bbq night as all food were prepared..all we have to do is just savor them!anyhow the food was kinda tasty especially the bbq chicken! *drooling*..we were all exhausted by dusk but really enjoyed it.well..for the 3rd day there was actually not much activity..all we did was sampling-testing the soil mineral content and pH..and of course photography session.all in all it was really a worthwhile and eye opening trip..hope that i can visit taman negara once again!

here are some random pictures from the trip:

W-a-i-t-i-n-g


Frosty morning

Morning dew trickles,

from the crisp fresh leaves of water lily

Cold wind makes my face tingles, my body shudders

I fear not, of the inclemency

But recollect the memories that never faded

Amidst the mysterious mist of the wet morning

Amidst the sweet fragrance of the morning breeze

Amidst the twittering of skylark

I heard you whisper

The promise that our love is eternal

I saw you smile,

Sheepishly, like the first time we met

Inadvertently revealing your glittering white teeth

I saw your big watery blue eyes

Sparkling with hopes

Like the magnificent rays from the sun that shone on the ripples of the ocean

Your steps were so graceful

Your embraces were so warm

Your words were so soft

How can I not remember?

Have you forgotten?

I will stay here and wait

‘cause they make me feel too good,

Too hard to miss

L_O_S_T


I see nary a sight of you

From dawn to dusk

From dusk to dawn

Groping with the vague memory of you

I fumble in the dark

Uncertain of

What drives me crazy

What sets my pulses to race

What pumps my adrenaline to the max

What brings the bliss that knew no bounds

What makes me

Drawn into the vortex of irresistible and murky love

Confounded, baffled, perplexed, bewildered

LOST

p/s-written on behalf of a friend

2 souls


She never wanted to go near the sea

For the beautiful sunset befall her eye

Prods her old rusted reminiscences of him

Two souls

Hand in hand

Step by step

They strolled on the cotton white beach

To watch the waves gently licking the levee

To praise the beauty of the God’s creation

The mesmerizing sunset

The horizon that stretches at far end of the ocean

The blue sea that glimmers under the velvet sky

They were memories that left her eyes

Welled in tears

***

A solitary walk she goes

She looks up into the sky

She sees an angel waving to her

Smiling so bubbly, so lively

It is him, she is positive

And she smiles

Again,

the two souls at the seaside
