Yesterday, I visited the Marine Park in Labuan with my friends, and had a fun time taking photos together before I leave. We were damn crazy, running here and there, taking pictures. Labuan's really super hot. So, bring along an umbrella is compulsory during outing. Or else, you will just like me, getting dark. In this post, I will just upload some of the photos since there were too many. You can see more photos in my facebook.
Wendy, Wani and I went out at around 2pm. We met Pressly at UK, who would be our guide to the Marine Park. And also to get my phone there. =.=

A tiring but enjoyable day.
That's all. Gonna take my lunch now. Byebye... p(^0^)9
*p/s I will take the flight tomorrow at 2pm, flying to Miri first, and then to Sibu at 6pm. Sibu guys, see you soon!!! Aiai is back!!!
Yeah yeah~ It's Sunday. Only now I got time to sit in the cc, updating my blog. Two weeks spent in Labuan, I'd wrote something about my life here.
14 May, 2010
Phew! I wanna say FINALLY~ The orientation week was over!!! And only now, I got the time to sit in front my computer but nothing to do since there is no line here. So, I gonna write something to be posted on my blog when I can online. It was really a terrible experience ever in my life. I only slept two to three hours per day for the whole week and my black circles are now… OMG!!! Who’s that!!!
All the way flying alone from Sibu to Miri, and then Labuan, the journey was really tiring. Carrying 5 bags ( 2 big luggages, 2 hand carries & 1 bagpack), I wondered why I brought so many things here. Especially the coffees and milo. =.=’’ I really have to salute myself for doing the great job all by myself. ( But actually I checked in two lah… haha. ) Talking about checking in the luggages, it really lit up my fury. I was asked to pay since they were overload, around 9kg. RM5 per kg, so altogether RM45. RM45?! I looked at the counter girl like this. =.=’’ What the… %@^#^$^#$@#% . However, I refused to pay, but to take some of the things out.
When I reached Miri airport, I was quite shocked to meet some of my PLKN friends. There’re quite a lot of students going, but one thing they’re different from me was all of them were accompanied by their family. Huhu~ What a pity of me. T.T
Miri Airport
Look at my luggages. what the...
It was almost two o’clock in the afternoon when I reached Labuan airport. Luckily, there was a bus taking us to KML (Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan). I really need to thank Wendy and Pressly for giving me a helping hand, carrying my luggages. After the registration, I got my room key. My room was at block A, 3rd floor. Gosh… It was the furthest block in the college!!! And 3rd floor somemore?!! Huh… I had a terrible time carrying the luggages upstairs with Wendy. And since my room is so far from the hall, and we have to walk to and fro many times per day, that’s why I look so muscular now. Wakaka…
About the orientation week, the activities started at 4.30am everyday. So, we had to wake up at around 3 something. Actually, I set my alarm clock ringing at 3.15am, but I didn’t hear any single sound for the five days of orientation because I was so tired. So, I always woke up at 4 am daily in a state of shock. And we had to rush to the Dewan Mutiara before 4.15 am. Huuh! You know, the distance from our block to the hall was so far!!! I really had a bad week rushing with time. No time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was always starving to death. And the food here was so expensive and spicy. I got really no mood to eat when I see all the pedas pedas food. But, hungry bah.. T.T Really terrible.
Everyday, we had to sit in the hall to listen to the boring talk. It was damn hot!!! Can you imagine two thousands over people squeezing in a hall?!! OMG… Sweats all over the bodies and disgusting smells filling the air. I could hardly breathe in my bad sick condition, suffering from running nose and bad cough. I asked for help from the facilitators whether I could get any medicine or went to see the doctor, but no response. And the talk was sooo boring and I always dozed off in the hall. zzZ… I didn’t listen a single word.
Thousands of people squeezing in the hall
One more thing, standing under the hot burning sun for riadah. I didn’t bring any sunblock!!! I became so dark after the orientation week!!! OMG…I was not that dark even after the PLKN. Who to blame?
In a nutshell, the orientation will be the most terrible memory in my life. Hot, smelly and busy orientation week. Eee!!!
16 May, 2010
Today is Sunday. So, we are free~ I really have nothing to do!!! Cannot online~ The One Stop Centre was so crowded. So, I’ll just rather open my laptop and continue my diary.
Yesterday, we had outing. There were 4 of us in a gang. Me, Wendy, Pressly and Wani. After getting our timetable, we got onto the bus and headed to the town centre. We shopped at Utama Jaya. Wow~ Who said Labuan is a duty free city? All the things there were damn expensive! I bought some stuffs as well. Then, we walked around the place, lepak lepak. The most common shop you can see in Labuan is the duty free shop selling cigarettes, alcohols, perfumes and chocolates. Hmm.. Most of them are illegal, so NO. Maybe I will bring some when I go back to Sibu. Hehe…
Me, Pressly & Wendy
Labuan is a place which is quite hot. Maybe it’s because of its location. Labuan is an island surrounded by sea. So, you get dark easily if u stayed here. Actually yesterday we were planning to go to the beach, but due to the weather and limited time, so we canceled our plan. You can hardly find Chinese in Labuan. I think most of them are Malays or Pakistans. Or maybe Indians. You can see quite a lot of foreigners as well.
Around 4 pm, we went back to our college by bus again. I had dinner with Wendy in my room, eating Mamee Mee.. T.T What a pity. Then, continued gossiping. Wakaka... Slept around 12.
Now, I’m sitting alone at the café, blogging. Cheh… Just ate my lunch. Another money spending meal. ~n~ I think I gonna eat Mamee Mee again tonight. Huhu~ Class will start tomorrow. Hate that. Ok, gonna end my words. Have to go back to my hostel and take a rest. Still coughing bah… Sighsss… Bye Bye ~ ~ Hooh… Damn hot.
21 May, 2010
Oh, this is the first time I sit in KML library. Wow…It’s really comfortable here, with aircon~ I think that’s why everyone enjoy going to the library instead of staying in the room studying. But one main reason I hate going to the library is I can’t fully concentrate on my study. People usually talk when they get together with their friends. And the same thing goes to me. So it’s better to stay alone in room if you wanna study.
Well, today I got my JPA result and it was really WHAT THE HELL. I was so lucky to get the course of architecture in UK, with two years of GCE A-Level before going overseas. I really thought that I couldn’t get the scholarship because I didn’t do well for my interview (I was late for the interview). How dare I say that. Haha… But I always believe that God has decided everything for me. When I entered KML, I was put in the course of physics. But, I changed to biology side because I hope to become a doctor in future (after a brainwash). But I told God, if medicine is really not suitable for me, please offer me the JPA scholarship. But if I suits medicine, don’t let me get the scholarship. -.- So bad to say that since everyone was so eager to get the scholarship. Haha… Anyway, I was really lucky to know my status of application because many of my friends didn’t get it. And they were so good in their studies as well. Much more better than mine. I was shocked to hear that they didn’t get the scholarship. So sorry to know that. I was really poor in comforting people in sadness, so I just keep quiet. Luckily I changed my course of dentistry to architecture. If not, I think I will be like those who failed to get the offer, sobbing and sighing.
Yng phoned me just now, giving me some advices to me. She warned me to study hard because the A-Level is really hard for students pursuing architecture. Extra subjects and papers compared to other courses. By the way, we planned to go traveling when she come back, just before I go to Shah Alam. Lol… My mom phoned me too, asking me whether I want to continue my plkn or not. I said YES! Without hesitation. =.= I really miss all of my friends there. I asked my mom to phoned the comanden… Waiting for her reply. **waiting**
22 May, 2010
It’s really a happy + terrible day for me. Saturday should be a day full of hope and joy. Yeah. It’s true at first. I had outing with the Methodist gang. The first and foremost thing they did after exiting the college was to find non-halal food ( start with the letter p and end with the letter k ). Lol… After taking the breakfast, we went lepak at Ukana Kewangan, which they normally called UK.
Everyone heading to UK
I didn’t like the place. It’s hot. And the things sold there were damn expensive and useless. I got really no mood to shop there. Well. I just enjoyed the time having fun with friends. Then, the gang went to the cyber café to appeal for the JPA scholarship. It was really in a mess and I felt sorry since I couldn’t give them a helping hand. I had lunch at KFC with the Chung Hua gang. OMG. Money spending… I had to pay for them since they asked me to belanja because I got the scholarship. =.=’’ *broken heart* Wu wu~ ~ But that’s still ok. It’s just a small matter. Lol…
Wendy & Wani at KFC
After the meal, I went back to the cyber café to meet the Methodist gang. They still not yet completed their things since it’s damn complicated. But time passed fast and we were rushing with time. Actually, we planned to go to the beach and MarinePark. But it’s almost 2pm. So we were really in a rush. Smack those who kept on asking to hurry up. Just be patient!!! We went to the beach around 2pm. Luckily it was not hot.
Heading to the beach
I liked the beach as well. The water’s clear and blue. I was the first one to take off my shoes and socks, running towards the water. Crazy~ Hey man, just enjoy! Some of them hesitated to play in the water at first since we didn’t bring towels or exra clothes. But they couldn’t resist it. Haha~ Just enjoy life instead of suffering in KML!!! I walked in the water with my bare feet, jumping over the waves. We were so crazy that we tried to take photos of jumping in the water. But due to the timing problem, we couldn’t get a perfect picture. The boys caught baby crabs as well. I got one too. So cute. ^6^ Some of them were so stressed to survive in KML that they shouted at the beach, like the one you can see in drama. Lol. I should have took it down as video.
Nice view, right?
Amazing.
*Labuan Beach*

I was so high. Ahaha~
My legs on the sand
My legs in the water
It's really fun. BUT, so unluckily, water entered my phone. And the phone was broken. =.= We canceled our plan to the MarinePark. I rushed back to UK to have it repaired. I waited for one hour from 3.30pm, as what the repairer promised. But he said he need another one hour to did it when I went to him. So, I waited for another one hour. Then, I went back to the shop again. Ohno! No one inside! Where’s the guy!! I was so panic at the moment because we had to return to the college before 6pm!!! What the heck!!! Time passed but the guy didn’t appear!! Then, I asked for his number from the girl working at the stall nearby. Luckily she got. I quickly phoned the guy. He said “ok ok, will be back soon”. And you know~ Another few more minutes passed before he reached the shop. When he asked me to check the phone, it was still not functioning well!!! The keypad was ok but no sound!!! The guy kept on checking on the phone, but I think he’s really lame. I was wondering whether he really knew how to fix it or not. It was over 6pm. I asked Pressly to phone back to inform the college that we would be back late. Luckily ok. Both of us waited for the guy to fix the problem, but the guy’s attitude really lit up my fury. We were so fed up waiting for the man that we sat on the floor like a poor. I almost fall asleep. It’s really tiring. Then, the man said he needed some time to repair the phone, so he asked us to take the phone the next day. Haih!!! Hate that!!! We went back around 7pm, taking the ‘6’ bus. I was really tired!!! And it was indeed a bad day for me. I really wish that the phone will be in good condition tomorrow. No more problems! Another money spending event. Smack that!!!
It’s almost 10pm now. I had to go back to my room before the library closed. Bye bye >.< Oh ya, happy birthday to my friend, Johnson. I heard that he organized a party but unfortunately I couldn’t go. So sigh. But nevermind, I will be back to Sibu soon. This coming Tuesday. I have to start planning my May, June and July activities before I go for my study. Last chance to enjoy before suffering. Lol…Ok lah. Good night.
Well, that's all I'd written in the few days before. Gonna find something interesting to do before I leave Labuan. Planning to play basketball this evening. Stop here first. See you, guys. Bye~
Hi, another post before I leave Sibu. It's gonna be a post on food~ What do you actually order when you sit into a kopitiam? I have really no idea since there are no much differences on the food in every coffee shop. And the same thing goes to the drink. The only drink I will order in Sibu's kopitiam is Iced Milk Tea (Teh Qi Beng). I think that's the only drink which is really nice.^^ And for food, I will probably order Laksa~ OR bian nv~ haha.. Don't think that I will order noodles like Kampua, Fried Mee or Fried Kuey Teow~ It's like yak! Hate that!!!
Today, I went to Yum Yum Cafe, a kopitiam around the bus terminal area. And I found a food which's really delicious. It's Fishball Dong Fen!!! Ahaha... I think the stall was quite famous since I'd heard about it before. The aunty can cook well, and the dish was super yummy! I like the fishball!!! It's Q~
Look at this! Yummy yummy!
It costs me RM4~ Quite OK la, the price~
Peach Juice~ Nice~It costs RM1.80.
So, it's better to sit in a kopitiam instead of the high-class cafe. The price of food will be much more cheaper and the food will be much more nicer too. If you are free, take a meal at the stall (the second one in the shop). The beef noodle is quite famous too. You can go and have a try. =P
Tonight, I had a fun time gathering with my 5A's classmates. I was so shocked that so many of them came. Actually, that day, I messaged Adeline, just telling her I was boring and wished to find someone to go yamcha. Who knows~ She called the whole kampung. ahaha!! Maybe it will be the last gathering before everyone furthers their studies.
Here, I would like to list out those who had attended the gathering tonight.
I ordered a glass of Blackcurrent Milk Juice. It was so huge in size.@@ Thanks Nicole for treating me this.
Posing with dear Nicole. XP Enjoy talking with her the whole night. =)
Adeline and Rachel. So high~ lol
I like this. It's shao mai with prawns. Yummy yummy!!!
This is chicken sushi. Not so nice.
I can't remember the name already. Just eat. Don't care so much. XD
Shao mai with pi dan
Having dim-sum~
Chit chat, chit chat, chit chat
Mouth-watering fried food.
After the meal, we went lepak at Farley~ I bought a cloth for my mum. Hey man! Mother's Day is coming soon! And I tried to search something for my dad as well but failed. Sob. I think I gonna treat him a big meal one day for the Father's Day. Then, we went home around ten. Thanks Rachel for picking me home. ^.^ Ermm.. I'm not sure yet whether I got the mood to go for movie the next day~ There're still lots of stuffs to do. And I'm going to prepare all the things needed for the matriculation. And to make sure I've finished all of the steps instructed. Tomorrow will be a busy day to go~ It's 12:26am now. I gonna end my post. Byebye everyone. Goodnight. Muacks.
Hey guyz, I had just finished my shell scholarship phone interview and it was...OMG...Damn hard!!!
The phone rang at the time as scheduled - 1pm. The interviewer started the conversation by introducing herself. She is a Dutch, and had worked in a lot of countries, such as United Kingdom, Switzerland, bla bla bla...and now she is working in Miri, Sarawak. A Dutch??? Worked in so many foreign countries before(until I couldn't remember which countries she mentioned)??? Oh gosh... I'm wondering whether I could understand her English or not. Luckily yes. After the introduction, she enlightened me up by telling me how will the interview go on and the structure of the question that will be asked.
Throughout the interview, the interviewer is going to assess you against CAR (Capacity, Achievements and Relationship). You will be asked for evidence of your Achievement and Relationship skills to date, as well as being given the opportunity to analyse an issue that is current to global companies (Capacity).
Well, the interview was divided into two sections as below.
Section 1:
I was asked to tell her some extra informations that she would like to know, instead of the CV I'd sent in a month before. First, I was asked for my greatest achievement, my role, strength and the difficulties that I faced. Since I could only choose one, so I told her about my experience of being the chief editor of my school magazine committee, since it was a team work. And then I was asked how to work in a team and so forth. I shared some of my experience while undergoing national service and my working experience as well. All the questions are mostly about how you work in a team, your role in solving problems or obstacles, your communication style and so on. Since the interviewer was going to jot down all the points I gave, so I was adviced to say anything I could think of, no matter right or wrong. I had to talk, talk and talk to keep the conversation going. It's really a difficult task. Sweat. But so far, there was no silent mode in Section 1.
Section 2:
This was the most difficult part in the interview. I was given four topics to choose and elaborate on one of them.
1) Corporate social responsibility (CSR)
2) High quality graduate for the employment market
3) Meeting the world growing energy needs without affecting the environment
4) The use of internet in business environment
What should the global company consider first? (I didn't hear clearly what the question was asking actually) The question really sucks!!! I chose the 3rd question and gave some of my points. But I couldn't answer some of her questions because it was really mind breaking!!
After this was Q & A section. I asked her about the interview. She said I will be informed in two weeks time on my application status. And there will be another stage of interview, that is face-to-face interview, if I was shortlisted. Then, that's the end of the interview~ It lasted for 27 minutes and 25 seconds. So fast, lol... I think I have no chance to go for the second interview. XD
Hehe...Anyway, I had tried my best. And I was so proud to be interviewed by Shell! It's such a great company, you know!! Fuyooo!!! I'm really proud of myself! ahaha!!!
I think I had asked all my friends this question for the past few days. Should I cut my hair??? It's really hard for me to make the decision. Huuh... Many people adviced me not to cut it because it looked awesome and suited me well. wakaka... But I can still remember that my mom almost fainted when she first saw my bombastic hair and we had cold war for 1 day! My dad kept on complaining my hair too. Maybe they were too out of fashion. XP bla bla bla... That's my style! And I like to try new things! That's why I always did something different on my hair! But, it's really hard to maintain mop hair~ I think my hair had gone out of shape since it grew longer. SO, I had made the greatest decision.
Sitting in the saloon for about an hour time, I got my hair cut. Oh my god!!! It's damn short.
T.T My hair is really short now, especially the back. huhu~ Gonna miss my mop hair. So sad.... Nevermind, at least I had tried the hairstyle before. haahaa.. Which one should I try then... Hmm... XD
Yoyo! Another post after leaving plkn. Well, today, the 1st of May, is not only a labour day, but it's a day for gathering!! Early in the morning, i woke up from the bed, but had experienced a terrible backache! OMG!!! It's really painful!! It must be because of my bad sleeping posture. And my late sleep the night before. I was quite dissapointed to receive Joy's message, telling us that she's not going to join us. Hmm.. I'm not sure whether we will meet again in future or not, since we've our own life to go. On the way to Parkson, we had a heavy traffic jam since it was a public holiday. My dad's car could hardly move as all the cars were stuck in the road congestion. Once i reached Parkson, i was so shocked to see the crowd. There were so many people in the mall that i could hardly find my friends. Luckily, i saw Irene in front of KFC. Hahaa.. Then, we met Sin Ying. I was so surprised to see her having make up. It was so much different! Then, others came one by one.
Erm.. It's quite hard for me to write out what we did the whole day in detail. So, i'll just mention it briefly~ Because i'm tired now...Wanna end my post quickly. haha
We went shopping, but actually was lepak lah..Then, we had lunch at blue splender. After the meal, we had our crazy time taking photos in the toilet. =.=
Crazy act in loo

Posing in front of the loo's mirror -.-''
Two boys were shocked to see aunties taking photos in toilet

Then, we walked to Daesim to buy some stuffs. Actually, we were playing in the shop. And the salesgirls were staring at us impatiently. Hahaa.. bad.
Jia Ye in her Hip Hop cap. Yoyo~
Irene says cheeeeeeeeese!!!
Then we had tea at Snack Bar.
I ordered a cup of blueberry milk tea. Humm.. Not bad. Just a bit too concentrated. hehe
Then, we went to Premier to buy some accessories.
Posing with baby Mickey and Minnie
That's all~ Happy to meet my friends and had a nice day. Tired but fun. The plkn gang will be going back to camp tomorrow at 3pm. So, bon voyage to all my fellow friends. Do keep in touch and hope to hear from all of you soon. Enjoy yourselves ya =P
Phew! It's time to end my story. Good bye and good night, everyone. =D
After a month training in the camp, finallly i decided to quit and further my study. Matriculation, is still a question mark in my mind. I am wondering what i did is the right one or not. Actually, i don't know what i am going to pursue in future. So, i am just following what god has decided for me at the moment.
Going back home to Sibu, i have no strong feeling of sadness, not like other people that are going to leave, hugging and crying together. I'm just feeling a bit down, gonna leave a place which i stayed for a month, and gonna leave all my buddies that had accompanied me all the way in the camp. It's really suffering at first, but luckily i could cope with it slowly. Hmm, the only thing i don't like is the terrible hot temperature that makes me perspire a lot. I could feel my sweat dripping down my forehead and my back whenever and wherever i was. Well, since i have not updated my blog for a period of time, so this post gonna be a long long one, about my life in kem similajau, bintulu.
I'd mentioned a bit about the schedule in the previous post, so i will just skip some of them. Ok... Every morning, we are "forced" to wake up at 5. Having PT at 6 and breakfast at 7. Oh my god...The morning exercise was really terrible. We were asked to run..and run.. and run... I almost got asthma after the long run. Then, we had class from 8 to 12. And that's the most irritating thing that i found in the camp. Because, the lessons were damn boring and i dozed off many times in class. lol. We were treated like kindergarten kids. Sitting on the floor, and drawing using magic pen. =.= What a shame. Having lunch at 12 and physical activities from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. Marching under the sun was really dreadful. Fortunately, i didn't faint. At night, we had classes. And sometimes we watched tv in the hall. That's the only entertainment you can find in the camp. During weekends, we had no classes, no activities. And that's the only chance you can get your handphone. Sundays, we had buddhist class at bintulu buddhist centre. Luckily i didn't change my religion to christian since i met more chinese friends in buddha group.
Actually, life inside was quite boring because we did the same things everyday. However, i found that it was good to discipline myself and to spend my time more wisely. So far, i've learned how to swim and canoe, and we had tali rendah training. We also learned PC as well. And now, I am so bored at home because i have nothing to do unlike the hectic life inside the camp. I've started to miss the life in camp and all my friends i met there.
Thanks to all my gang friends~ Yvonne, Chiew Ling, Catherine, Yuki, Irene, Linda, Rainzz, Sin Ying, Joy, Nge Nee (from photos) and many other cute, charming friends. Deep in my heart, all of you are great and special. And i will never forget the moment we played and enjoyed together. And the late night we ate junk food together silently behind the toilet. Hahaha!!! Oh ya, and i gonna miss all the trainers, especially "AB". Haha...it's just a joke. I am not that crazy like Joy, ok~ And thanks to all pk6 buddies. I should have pretended crying on stage like others. haha...
I don't know why i was so "lucky" to be selected for matriculation. Actually, i prefer jpa scholarship more. But since the result's not yet out, so i will just go for matriculation first. Urghh...Another journey for me. I will leave on 10th may, flying to miri, and then labuan. I really hate it! Anyways, good luck to myself. Everything will be fine. =D
2010 is really a busy year to me. I've been travelling here and there non-stop. Tiring but challenging.
Finally, I am back...It was really torturing!!! The trainers there were damn strict. I was feeling homesick on the first day I reached there. I called back and told my mom "I wanna go home NOW!!!" But was stopped by my mom. >.< I am now back for "Ching Ming" festival and jpa interview as well. One week holiday is enough for me. Hehehe...
Well, life inside the camp was very disciplined. We had to work in a team anytime and anywhere we're. If not, you will know the punishment then. Everyday, we woke up at 5am in the morning and slept at 11pm at night. I took shower every morning and the water was damn freezing. I was almost frozen, shivering inside the bathroom since it was the first time for me to take a shower so early without heater. We took six meals per day, 3 main meals and 3 tea breaks. Oh my god...The canteen(hall) was so far from our hostel that we had to walk under the sun everyday to take our meals.
Mentioned about the sun=.= The camp was damn hot. Since it located beside a beach, it was really heating. Even the wind was burning hot. I had almost finished my sunblock in a few days time. hehe...
I made quite a lot of friends there. Different races, from different places. I learned how to wear tudung somemore. =P
My cute room mates~
Posing with my room mates. All of them are malays and ibans, since the chineses were back for Good Friday.
Peace...That's my room leader, Gracy. And the one at the right with green shirt is ATOY~cute name indeed
Pencuri Charlie...Don't laugh!!! The weather was hot!!! I had to do so!!!
I'd learned 14 ways of kawad there. Outdoors activities from 2pm to 4pm everyday. Tiring~ I sweated a lot and I took 3 to 4 times of shower daily. Sweat...
I will return back to the camp on 9th April. Hmm... There are still a lot of tough jobs waiting for me. Jpa interview is coming soon. I haven't done my preparation yet. I slept whole day these few days after reaching home. It's really a good time for me to take a rest. Bon voyage to other plkn friends who will be going back to camp tomorrow. Hiak hiak hiak~
Okok... Time to end my post. Another update will be on 27th April, when i come back for cuti penggal. See you, guyz~ Bye~ Gonna miss you all. ^3^
