It's about Singapore again...

Because of our impulsiveness, my friend and I went to Singapore  from 16 to 18 January 2015.
This is also my first trip in 2015.
Everything came so fast that I'm back in Malaysia now. Sitting in front of my dad's office's desk, writing this post...


Overall, I think that our trip was very enjoyable and we wished to visit Singapore again soon~~~
*but the currency does matter*
Our friend, Theresa, we seldom meet each other unless we got the time well matched!
We had so much fun with our friends that it reminds us of our uni times...
We had so many breakfastssss, lunchessss, and dinnerssssss together!!!

However, we didn't really spend a lot because there were nothing much that actually attracted us...
as we planned to not shop...much there...

On the first day of our arrival, we walked around in the city while waiting for our friends, Chee Khong and Theresa to finished working and join us for dinner. Coincidently, my sister's friend, Yun Chia got sick and was able to bring us to her house to leave our luggage in her house.

This was the first time for my friend to be here while I was here a few years back...Both of us didn't really have any knowledge on the MRT in Singapore and neither did we have any sense of direction. But our friend, Chee Khong told us we can "play by ear" in Singapore, Therefore, we just roughly looked at the MRT map and went to Orchard and Bugis for dinner.


We were lucky to find Tiong Bahru Bakery in Tangs because we only knew that it was in Tangs. We tried their famous croissant and almond croissant. They were really delicious!!! I like their hot chocolate because it was made at the right temperature and it wasn't too hot that I can't drink it immediately when its served. When we tried to find the McD near Bugis, we found it accidentally while looking for toilets too... What a lucky day~~~


Then, we went to Universal Studio in Singapore the next day... We basically spent the whole day there but we didn't wait for the fireworks show since we are supposed to meet our friends for dinner in town. But, I really would like to thank the staff in USS for offering another front row standing space for me when we tried to see the parade in USS. 

Then, we tried to queue for Llao Llao yogurt around 10.40 pm, but the staff there refused us to queue because it was too pack that day and they close at 11.00 pm. It was a Saturday night... So, too bad~~~My friend did ask the staff twice saying that we are from Malaysia and we really want to try this. But she refused politely. Then, my friends told me to ask those people in the queue to help me buy them if I really want to try them... While I was hesitating who to ask and how to ask, my friend said she'll ask for me! I was very thankful because my friend helped me and she even went further front of the queue and helped me asked for a favour from the couple who were queuing. Although the girl looked cool, but they agreed right away!!! So, I think Singaporeans are kind...


I also had many other delicious food in Singapore, one of them is Laduree~~~
According to my friend, their macarons are very delicious but not very sweet...
and, they are no cheap...
SGD3.95 for one small macaron,


even though they are not the cheapest thing to buy,
but I think they are worth trying...
Too bad, they don't sell them separately as in one macaron,
the minimum is 6 or 8 pcs...
After much considerations and thoughts...
I've decided to buy them anyway!!!
I have to say that in 2014, I learned a lot through a friend,
although she is not around any more,
but the incident struck me hard...
Maybe we should just enjoy the moment we have rather than living in the past nor the future,
it's important for everyone of us to learn to appreciate the "now" moment,
It's never easy,
but I'm still learning...

现在才知道,原来找工很难

最近在找工作,
我才发现原来要找一份工那么难。。。
那我还要找一份我想要的工时,
这是难上加难~~~
难到让我想是不是应该像其他人一样,找份稳定的工,安分守己的打工,
然后和大家一样,也在社会的expectation下,结婚生子。。。
然后再把孩子们养大。。。
*请注意,是孩子“们”,那就是多过一的意思*
很可惜,
对我来说,“养”孩子的定义很不同,
我不是只要给他们饭吃,和缴学费。。。
我对于孩子的upbringing有一定的要求,
我对我自己有很高的要求,
我并不要因为在家人和周围的人的压力下结婚生子。。。
我要为了我的孩子做准备。。。
我不要做只是“生”孩子的妈妈。。。
况且,
我也还没有遇到我想结婚生子的人啊~~~
最重要的是,
Dr. D. 说得很对“Children CAN'T raise children.”
我再重复

Children CAN'T raise children!!!

很多时候,我们看了很多社会版的新闻,
很多都有因为家里的争吵而离家出走,又或则是失踪。。。
不然就是因为朋友和家人吵架。。。
还有很多所谓的“青少年”的问题。。。

对我来说,家庭是对小孩很重要的。。。
小孩学到的很多东西都是从家里学来。。。
所以父母须要很关注他们的小孩和发展。。。
小孩是一个很"花"时间的“东西”,
他们需要父母both quality and quantity的时间。
父母也因为小孩的时间表而不得不迁就孩子们的时间表。。。
我知道小孩需要学习独立,
这是社会正鼓吹的事,
可是,
小孩不可能自己学会所有东西吧?
他们还是需要有人在他们的身边引导他们的。。。
如果父母还是像一个小孩,
那谁才是真正的父母???
I'll rest my case...

klpac Orchestra concert: Magical Movie Moments

在没有任何的expectation之下,
我出席了klpac Orchestra Magical Movie Moments的表演。
听说这是他们第二场sold out的表演,
我在看他们的曲目时就已经很想听这场orchestra了。。。
也很庆幸的拿到了票~~~
他们在表演里的曲目都是有名电影里的歌曲,
例如《Up》\《Batman》、《Harry Potter》、《The Lord of The Ring》、和《Pirates of the Caribbean》。。。
我最喜欢的就是《Pirates of the Caribbean》。。。
其中也有几首华语歌曲,
我看到那些曲目时有在默默的期待,
因为用那么多的西洋乐器来演奏话语歌很不容易,
但是他们做到了。。。
美中不足的应该就是唱歌的人的广东话发音不是很好。。。
所以我听了以后只是在笑。。。
也有一点失望。。。
可是他在唱The Lord of The Ring的歌时还好好的。。。
Hmm...

还有一个concert-mistress,
她走出来时的风范不凡,
拉小提琴的能力更是好,
我不是专业的音乐人,
但是我看她和听她表演时都十分享受。。。
还是美女一名呢~~~

看完了以后,我有觉得我的心情有比较好。
可能是因为刚刚看完了令我开心的音乐吧~~~

2015

什么?
2015就这样静悄悄地来临,
我都还没有作好心理准备呢~~~
*其实也没有多静悄悄啦,只不过是我自己太忙了*

2014

说忙,我也没有真的很忙。
可是2014的上半年就真的是我最忙的时候;
忙intern,忙写报告,忙写thesis;也很忙的上课。。。
因为种种的原因,我还要上课,所以更是忙上加忙。

另外,很不幸的就是我的公公去世了。。。
在他进进出出医院时,
我就看见了很多东西,
和一些人现实的一面。

下半年

我可以说是在忙与不忙之间,
我忙着找工,可是大概就是不要太急吧。。。
因为我找工的过程,并没有我想象中的 顺利,
所以我到现在还在这个我不想呆的 地方。。。
就连interview都很难啊~~~
我的resume就像石沉大海一样。。。
haih~~~

我所谓的弟弟也结了婚,
我有所谓的弟妇了。。。
可是我想他们可以当我就像是透明的。。。
因为我很懒得装开心。。。

我发现我写了这篇可是没有post到,
虽然不是一月一号写的,
可是既然都要改日期了,
那我就顺水推舟了,
把这篇该为一月一号咯~~~

Happy New Year 2024

 今年對我來說是一個新開始, 因為我真的要結束我“念書”的日子了。 想得到很久的master也在去年得到了。 但是我沒有想像中的激動,開心一定的。 我現在面臨的問題確實身份曖昧, 我必須重新定義我的專業身份。 同時我的生活也有很多的不確定性。 如果要說,感覺上3天3夜都說不完。 ...
