Hello everybody!
It a tradition every year since I get active with blogging that I will update a post on my birthday.
I've being lazy nowadays since blogging require lots of effort.
I mean, nobody gonna read it anyway. hahaha

But this time I need to continue on the tradition each year with some updates!

I'll update full stories of my Bahrain experience soon, after returning to Malaysia, and get all my exams done.
But for now, long story short: I'm celebrating Eid and Birthday in Bahrain.

I'm so happy that this is the best birthday gift that my dad give to me.
Being in Bahrain is good enough, I'm happy already.
But something amazing that I don't actually expected at all happen!
I had an amazing birthday ever for my 22nd birthday!
I had a total BLAST!
*since everybody wish me to have a BLAST on my birthday in FB* hahaha

What happen on my birthday??

15 August 2013

I write postcards to be send to my friends - finish it up
So that I can buy stamps for it

Then, we visit the Malaysia Embassy in Bahrain.
*Photos with the Embassy staff*

After that, we went to eat Indian authentic food.
Sponsored by my new "grandma" and "grandpa" =D
Thank you =) I am so surprise!

The taste of the food is really nice: Authentic Indian banana leaf rice.
I love the complementary dessert~ celebrating India's independent day.

I am born on the same day as India's Independent day! =D
Its a coincidence that we ate at the Indian restaurant. hehe

Look at this hungry face -_-

Guess where is the next location of my birthday celebration?

Here's the clue:

Tower of Bahrain's capital city of Manama.

My birthday is at the East Building of the Financial Harbour Building -- above postcard photo.
Its on the 52nd Floor at the Capital Club. Which has an amazing view of Bahrain!
I gotta said that this is beyond my wildest dream ever that I'll be celebrating my birthday there!!
I must have done something good somewhere, alhamdulillah.
Do good thing to people, you never know =)

Signing the guest book.

Look! Guess what building behind this? *refer to the above postcard photo*

This tall neighbouring building is Bahrain World Trade Center

Capital Club, Level 52, East Tower, Bahrain Financial Harbour, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain

Sing Happy Birthday song ~

The most amazing Birthday high in the sky of Bahrain!
My dream comes true today.
Thank  you to everybody especially to Kak Hani and her husband who sponsored my day today.
Very nice Grandpa and Grandma!

Thanks a lot to my dad who paid for my flight and allow me to come to Bahrain.
I hope you can be there celebrate my birthday here as well :(

Daddy, Thank you so much!

Thats all for today's post. Its really an amazing moment of my life.
Next year, I cannot go out and have vacation like this anymore.
I have internship and prepare for Final Year!
I totally have a BLAST!

I'm so blessed and I'm so grateful with whatever that I got.
Alhamdulillah. :)
Insya allah, I'll do my best to achieve a greater height and study as high as where I celebrated my birthday, or even higher!

What a day to start my 22nd year of my life.
Dream Summit.Sky High. Work Harder. Be Smart.
Yeah, this mark the beginning of a very challenging journey ahead!

Eventhough I reach my 22 mark of my life, I still feel that I' just 18 today. haha.
I feel so young :)

A note to my 21 years old self  =)

So it is a tradition that I posted something regarding my birthday every year. So this is it.

I feel that I am so blessed that I could celebrate my humble 21 years old of me with my parents.
No need mountains of presents, no need of a party.
I feel that my 21st birthday should be celebrated with grateful and down to earth moment.
Since it is coincidentally on the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Every steps, every journey, I'd like to celebrate the moment to the fullest.
I no need a present. I already got my present.
Hong Kong, HKUST, the experience is the biggest present that my parents give to me.
The experience is priceless.
I treasure every moment and every second of it.

I'm so blessed that I have such a wonderful parents, family, friends, teachers and people around me.
Thank you.

So here is some note that I wrote for myself:

That is the simple version of these version below:


Human live with choices.
Sometimes we regrets what we choose, sometimes we got delighted with our choice.
Life is a bittersweet experience where we embrace the consequences of the choice to learn and live the life to the fullest.
Every moment counts we try to understand humans, so that we learn from each other.
Every choice that we make, is the one that define who we are.

Life is more than luck and hard work.
It is full with emotion, passion and memories.
Treasure them.

Another step taken, another year gone, another day bring us closer to death.
Looking at the bright side, it is another day to change the world.
A small idea, a simple thought, a tiny hope and with a bit of luck; it is another day to make world a better place.
Believe that one day, the summit of your dream is not as far as you thought.
But do not forget the ground to where you belong when you fly high up to the sky.
Never give up, never lose hope and never stop believing.

It is a reminder note to 21 years old myself.

Life is not always lonely and miserable.
At least, I able to celebrate with my parents alongside with me.

What's a birthday without cake? lol
I got myself different slice of cake of different flavour. lol
So long haven't eat cake =D

Thank you Daddy and Mama.
Without you, I'm nothing.
You're my heroes.
I always wanted to make you proud of me.

Thank you so much. =)

Oh ya, I should go and register myself as voter and be counted! =D

EE Sem II : [The 1st 2 week]

Amazing view. Almost empty car park.

I came back to UPM rather early, as early as two weeks earlier before the semester starts.
I stayed at my beloved college and change room 3 times.. Mind you, my stuff is super lots!

My own room's key is red. :) Different colour = different floor

At last, on Sunday, we change back to our own room.

From my room's window

Happy :)

But before that, I met my 1st ever friend, and I consider her like my own sister, Syafira. It has been almost 10 years though. We met occasionally in between but, not really meet and talk like we used to. Since she moved to Westport, and a lot of things had happen to her family, we rarely talk. We just keep in touch by phone, message, Facebook.. But to be honest, we seriously didn't talk for almost 10 years. When we met, it felt like is seems as it was yesterday that she left and move school. We're really close, we share childhood  memories...  She's my best friend. She's very pretty too. Taller than me. Haha

Ya, me and ibu

We celebrate Ya and Shahmi Birthday together! So sweet~

Yummy cake!

Kak Yun~

Eat~ Eat~

It was really memorable day when ya, ibu, kak yun, Apop and me met. A lot of things happen, people change, but one thing that doesn't change is that we are a family even though there's no blood connection between us.

Me and ibu

******************

1st week of university is not a joke. It was damn pack and busy for god sake! 1st day itself, I wake up pretty early, about 6am. Then get ready for the first class, that is Oral Interactive Skill. the class rather fun, I must say, as I really love to talk. This is the chance to brush up my english skills!

I was appointed as assistant of head class =.='' haha Whatever-lah..
The class was fun, the lecturer are nice too. Can't wait for the roleplaying! Been looking forward to it.

Next class is semiconductor devices. It is crucial for me to love this subject because it is related to micro-electronic. Been thinking of doing major doing micro-electronic.  ^^

OMG.. Super love these instruments~ :D

 Even in the 1st week itself, I can feel the pressure on my shoulder that I need to maintain my first class CGPA no matter what. So that we can break the previous record. Seriously? Yes I am.

1st day: Go eat dinner together with my nice colleague :)

 We got rather lot of homework though... Need to diligently finish it all!! On the first week too, I join MURoC, not as player though. I go there to observe. :D
After reaching back, I seriously feel like building a robot and enter the competition. Serious.
I got the passion, but do I have what it takes?

But it is a great experience. I'm gonna post it on my next post.

Looking forward to it ya~ :)

A Post Dedicated to a Friend: princessvd a.k.a. Seryna Jin H S

Hi there!
I'd like to make a post dedicated to this special friend of mine friend on her birthday today!
Happy 20th Birthday princessvd a.k.a. Seryna Jin H S !!

Well, SHE is not a usual friend that we met at school, no no.
We became friend because of our interest and passion to achieve or dreams.
Despite the differences, we have quite a lot of thing in common.
Such as... we are LEOs!
Rawr!

She's mixed blooded (Chinese+Indian=Chindian) and a Penangite.
I'm mixed blood too but Chinese+Malay yadda yadda~~
Anyway, she can speak 5 languages : Malay, English, Tamil, Mandarin and Indonesian in present and adding Korean and Japanese to the list too.
Big big clap for her!!!

She can speak Mandarin very fluently! 0.0!!
I was like (WOW!) when I heard she talk in Chinese in YouTube.
Check out her YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePrincessvd
Amazing!

A little bit about this mysterious girl...
We started our friendship around Dec 2010 when she added me on Facebook.
She accidentally found this blog when she was surfing the net to find out about Monbukagakusho exam.
She's just an ordinary girl with passion to pursuit her dream despite the enormous challenges ahead.
She has an incredible passion for medicine and she wanted to become an Oncologist!
I truly support her for that!

We both share common thing.
That is we took a journey less people take.
The road less traveled.
We're lone rangers, no more!
Even though it is risky, the experience that we gain is priceless.
Being different is not easy.
Being Leo, we are brave to take the risk!

She's a prefect too~ Well, I become a prefect when I'm in Form 6 but she's a prefect all her school life.
She must be some sort of leader!
Quote from her, "The best moment of mine, life is all about discipline!!"
So true~
Another great quote from her:

"What is good about being a real prefect is, you will never attempt "school crimes" because you are in-charged to be against it. In that way, your self-discipline will be automatically trained in you & it will shape you into one of the guidance/example for your juniors to follow."

We both do have interest in music.
We both love singing. We enjoy good music too.
She enjoys writing songs but she wanted to focus on medicine because medicine lead to a more brighter future.
Maybe she'll do part time music. Who knows? =)

We met each other is during Monbukagakusho exam last May (Click here to go to the post)
She's such a wonderful person.
I think if we have whole day, we will talk non-stop! haha!
She have a great and cool personality, open-minded, a person with goal and aim not to mention original too. =)

I did mention her name few times in my blog.
So let me give a proper introduction to her blog~!

Let me present you.....
