Chinese New Year - lovely celebrations!!

How time flies! The one-week Chinese New Year holiday just elapsed in a blink of an eye. Never mind, I did enjoy my CNY this year, especially when I realized that I did not put on weight in the end of the day!..although my current weight does not seem to be that satisfactory at all. lol... But I was just happy with that because my weight used to increase right after CNY every year, the most devastating one was on last year, I gained about 4kg! I've been trying fucking hard to refrain myself from the fattening foods especially those biscuits specially made for spring festival (年饼) and pork jerky aka "bahkua" (肉干). I actually broke my personal record 'coz I used to eat loads and loads of these when it comes to CNY celebrations.

Alright, should stop crapping around. Back to the main point, I pretty enjoy the CNY celebrations this year with my beloved family, lovely cousins and friends. =) This is going to be a long post, as tons of photos were taken by my cousin the photo maniac! Well, I shall let the photos do the talking then. Off we go! =P

On 31st of January, all of us, including my family, relatives, and relatives by marriage of my cousin were invited to dine in together at the Hong Gei Restaurant (洪记酒楼) which is located in Taman Connaught. It wasn't supposed to be the authentic reunion dinner though, so we just considered it as a "pre-reunion-dinner". We were served with delectable, scrumptious and sumptuous dishes although I did not like some of the dishes because of the devastating fats! Holy shit man... I reckon I'm starting to live a healthy life hahaha!  

 (L to R): me, cousin Vincent, Adrian

 (L to R): cousin Suki, cousin Nene, uncle 

 (L to R): younger uncle and aunt, my beloved mummy and daddy

 (L to R): cousin Eve, me, cousin Vincent

 (L to R): sis Yenniko, cousin Eve, cousin's bf Clave, 

cousin An, me, Adrian, cousin Vincent

 me being the "kepochi"/busybody xP

 opss..not to forget, my lovely elder aunt and uncle =P

(L to R): uncle, naughty boy Zhi Jie, ah qiu auntie

 "Yu Shang" (鱼生)
a typical CNY dish, there will be strips of raw fish,
mixed with shredded vege and a few types of sauces as well as condiments

 (top to bottom clockwise): Dong-po pork (东波肉),
homemade tofu (with fantastic gravy!),
special sauce fried chickens (香鸡),
salted egg prawns  

We headed to Pavillion the next day for some shopping, as well as to "experience" the CNY festive celebrations outside from home. As expected, it was so damn crowded and I even noticed many tourists who seemed to be enjoying the celebrations together with us too..kind of feel warm to see that! =P  

    

 I feel so ashamed to say that I actually forgot to pay

this little green-all-over guy for taking photo with him!

I was supposed to pay him 2 bucks per photo taken. lol"

 He must have hated us and wanted to
run after us but he could not do so....lol 

The next day, we spent our reunion dinner night at Sim Mei Seafood Restaurant (善美海鲜楼) located in Taman Mutiara (珍珠花园). Unlike the last time at Hong Gei, this time we had a smaller group of people to dine together. No photo was taken that night because my cousins forgot to bring their camera along. =( Anyway, we really very much enjoyed our dinner that night, a very palatable dinner man!! 

On the first day of CNY (known as 初一), the very first and important thing to do is to pay a New Year call (拜年) of course!! xD Time to grab as many angpaos (red packet) as possible lorrr! =P After visiting a few houses of the elders and "successfully" getting angpaos from them (lol, sounds so irrespectful), we went down to MidValley for some shopping, again! So tiring....I dislike shopping in fact. lol 

Took some lovely photos at home though before departure to MidValley mall. xD 

 (L to R): me and my lovely cousin Ellie

 (L to R): sis Yenniko, my beloved Grandma, me

--in MidValley mall--

see larrr I was ready all the time one leh! =P

you guys arrr, better be more prepared for the next shot I warn you! 

 okay, nice shot indeed after all. well done my lovely gang =)

 the "elders"? lol... xP sorry no offence wakaka~ 

 after a heavy walk throughout the day, we decided to

take a rest at Sweet Chat cafe and have some fruity ice shaves. =P
and...call it a day! xD no more energy to continue walking.. 

(top to bottom clockwise): guava volcano, durian cendol, mango volcano

  weeewit~ lenglui in cheongsam =D

After we came back from MidValley mall, I was told that they actually decided to have an one-day trip to Malacca on the next day. I was shocked (is shocked, not surprised, honestly! =O) in the first place because the activities in these several days have been a tad too much to me, and I could have put on weight if I were to indulge in the specialty foods from Malacca! As many of you should know, I am a person who cannot stand long, especially when it comes to the seduction of delicious food! =( Anyway, apart from the food, one thing I love the most from there will be their Jonker Street (文化坊), which is quite easy to locate when you're in the heart of Malacca's Chinatown. If you fancy bazaar type of shopping, this will be the place to visit while you're in Malacca. =P Things there are super duper cheap than those in KL when you actually can find the exact same thing in either KL or Malacca. I kind of regret now for not buying as many as I wanted!! I want to buy the necklace and bracelets...... I wonder when will be my next time in Malacca ever again. 

 the crowd that you should expect in this popular spot

as usual, we had some prayer in the famous temple there too

passed by this stall a few times, but none of us gave it a try.
perhaps we don't fancy this kind of specialty food I reckon. @.@

 lol, some fun photo shooting session right before our departure to Malacca!

Last day before my cousins go back to Johor, we went for two movies in Leisure mall: The Green Hornet and I Love Hong Kong. Both were interesting and funny! But I prefer The Green Hornet, and I start to like Jay Chou! He was cool (吊) in the movie and seriously I find him quite really talented! xD Oh in addition to watching movies, we also went to Neway to have our favourite Karaoke session! Bills are quite expensive anyway 'coz it's CNY, so they will usually charge a tad higher than usual. Anyway, I really had fun moments with my lovely cousins and we laughed like a fool throughout the movies, and sang like a star throughout the Karaoke session..hehe

Okay, been typing too much and I'm starting to feel dizzy and tired, having a little cough and sore throat here. I feel a little better now though, as compared to a few days ago. =) Well, that's all for my CNY this year, and there is no doubt that there were lots of other activities/events too which I did not mention as it's sort of crazy to list all of them out here. =P One thing that is not to be forgotten is absolutely the gambling session!! However, we did not really gamble much this year 'coz we had more outings than in previous years. But still ok la, I am not a person who can gamble well and tends to lose more than I could win. xD Oh well, I shall stop writing and go to bed now.

Once again, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Try to grab as many angpaos as possible until next Thursday (the last day of CNY, known as 元宵). =D



p/s: there were tons of other photos too, but I mostly only put up photos that were focused on me. =P i'm just too lazy to include all of them up to here and it's kind of impossible and ridiculous eh...? xD

 

I'm proud of you, 李佳薇! :D

Jess Lee - Listen by Beyonce

Jess Lee - 回家 by 顺子

Finally, her dream has come true.... Tonight, she was announced to be the champion for the 7th season of 超级星光大道...! I am truly proud of her, she's been working so hard to come this far. At last, she has found her best stage ever to sing out her life and her dream! You're the legend in my heart and I believe many Malaysians are gonna be proud of you. It's gonna be a long way journey though, there is so much more to come, but I believe you can definitely do it, through every obstacle and hardship, making it all the way to the road of success! You're the best in my heart...ever and forever, 李佳薇... =)　

*+*Jam Making*+*

Weee one thing I love about Food Technology lab is that we don't really deal with whatever chemicals or instruments to carry out an experiment. The experiments we do for this subject are seemingly interesting. I reckon humans prefer to deal with food substances to hazardous chemicals, and I believe many others think the same way too. Unless you are an authentic mad scientist. =P (Handling chemicals is not as fun as you think!..it could be freaking boring sometimes.)

The experiment (or should I call it an culinary activity or cooking lesson? =P) that we conducted today is called "Jam Making". The purpose of the lab itself certainly is not to teach us how to make jam. lol In fact, we are required to understand the principles behind the jam making process, such as the preservation method of jam, extraction of pectin, purpose of adding sugar and citric acid, use of refractometer, etc. The type of fruit that we used to make fruit jam for this lab is the apple. I don't like the jam of this flavor though. The smell of the apples especially when they got boiled and cooked is really unpleasant for my liking. Perhaps it is because of the browning (Maillard reaction) that took place when we peeled the apples. =X I would be more pleased if I could use other types of fruit, such as orange and grape. =P

Alright, a picture speaks a thousand words..so I shall let the pictures talk ya. (note that the order of photos below basically corresponds to the order of steps/procedures for our jam making process)

Materials/ingredients and utensils prepared by the lab-technicians

 De-waxing the apples. (there were loads of wax OMFG!)

Peeled apples.

 Peeled apples cut into slices.

Grinding the slices of apples into a muddy form (even and fine pieces) 

using a "grinder" or "peeler" knife? Can't recall what's the knife called. =X

Sorry for my poor vocabulary hahaha.

Peels and cores. They are not useless at all! 

We need to extract pectin from these "waste". =P

Simmering the peels and cores to extract their pectin.

 See, the fruit pieces started to undergo browning. =(

That's why I said I don't like apples.

To my greatest delight, the browning did not really

affect the overall taste of the jam itself. =D 

 Nah, now only they have become the real "waste"

from which we extracted the pectin previously.

 The pectin essence from the peels and cores. 

 Adding in the fruit pieces. 

Boiling, boiling and boiling until the

fruit pieces become soft and tender.

 Adding in the pectin powder which has been

pre-mixed with 30g of sugar.

 Wah! You might have rubbed your eyes when you see this.

Yes, you didn't see anything wrong, we are to add this 

whole packet of granulated sugar into the saucepan! 

500g! Sooooo sweeeeeeet! But, I love it~ =P 

Adding in the 500g of sugar.

This little device is called a refractometer. 

It is used to measure the ^o Brix of the jam.

We have to measure the ^o Brix from time to time, until

it reaches around 66- 68^o  then boil down quickly. 

You might need to refer here if you have no idea what ^o Brix is. XD

 This is how the fruit jam looks like when

the desired ^o Brix is reached roughly.

Our masterpiece! =P

It tasted quite good, especially when served with bread! hehehe

Lengzai MrSee slicing for fruit pieces~

Xiong & Pika doing their works~
(well, I do have works also larr! xD and hor,
Pika you look fucking fat here hahaha!)

 Lab-tech giving instructions.

CUTE Jesse~ :P

3 gu 6 por~  =P

That's all for the lab session. It was indeed a great and fun experience. Now I know how to make fruit jams. Arghhhhhh, it's still a LAB though. Get me??

The report still awaits us ohh no! Don't wanna think about it now, let's enjoy the CNY first. =P 

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! =D 

Hello 2011!

Wow I think I have got to clean up all the webs on my blog! It's been 2 months since my last post! xD Guess what, I just completed my 2-month internship too....just one week ago!! and....hello 2011! How time flies!

My biggest first ever plan in this brand new year is to reduce weight! Seriously, I have put on weight from time to time. I always tell myself to control my diet, but never once I'd succeed. So, I set myself a target last week, I will not have my dinner, and sometimes even lunch! xD Slowly...slowly...I knew it will definitely be very suffering at the beginning. I have to be patient, strong and bear with it! Gambateh Kevin! You can make it! =)

Co-op aka internship!!!!

Finally, my coop training has come. I've been feeling nervous yet excited, looking forward to this day. However, it really surprised me, or should I say, it shocked me, with all the hectic scheduled-trainings provided by my Department's manager. I never really expected I'd be required to undergo such stressful training because I heard the first coop will be rather easy and simple than the second and third. Now I'm doing the first placement, and I am being treated as though I'm gonna become their permanent operator as they are training me so intensively. *sigh* Nevertheless, I believe hard works do bear fruit. I am gonna learn a lot through the process although it's tough and suffering. =)


Anyway, I will describe a little on my independent projects here. My main project's title is basically on Machine Safety, so I will actually deal with SOP quite often. The main project consists of several parts:
- preparing SOP on Machinery Safety based on researches online and company itself
- arranging external parties training (work with H.R Department) - Machine Guarding with NIOSH 
- briefing manager from various departments on the SOP as assigned
- auditing (prepare audit checklist, conducting audit, review SOP, etc)
- identifying and taking photo of all machines and conveyor as well as their emergency buttons, hazard signage

Another project comprising several items:
- arranging Safety Lunch to operators on Electrical Tools Safety
- arranging external trainings on Noise Training to operators
- preparing SOP on Safety Knife and related one point lesson
- safety culture survey checklist & questionnaires
- safety culture information
- incident reporting 


Basically those are the scheduled tasks/projects for me to carry out within the timeline. I'm afraid if I couldn't get them done on time. >< Hopefully I can manage to go through all these smoothly and smoothly!!!! 


p/s: I miss lecture classes suddenly.....I finally can understand the difference between study and work.....I miss exams!! x(

Happy Day!!

Awww it's been almost a month ever since I last updated my blog. Hahahaha..damn lazy me..
As title says, today is my happy day, but it does not mean I did well for my Food Microbiology midterm. =.=
I didn't really study well, and consequently, I didn't manage to answer many questions. =(
Ok, since this post is supposed to talk about my happy events, I'm not gonna mention the f**king midterm!

Ever since I visited BumbuBali last time to celebrate my buddy's birthday, I am always hoping to pay a visit to this fantastic restaurant of fusion concept again. Today, I get to enjoy the meals there once again, with my family this time. Hehehe.. I ordered the same thing again! XD because I really miss it so much...  Delicious and fresh chicken, fragrant rice, fantastic belacan, and the most important one....its portion is soooo big! =P

My mum and sister ordered this one....Nasi Campur! 

Big portion, delicious kao kao...haha!

 I ordered this one.. it's called Ayam betutu 

if I didn't remember the name wrongly...haha XD

 The restaurant~

My dad ordered two other meals, which were Squid Salad and a bowl of Soup, but I forgot the name. XD

The only bad thing about this restaurant is only that the air circulation there wasn't really ok!!! 

Very hot!!! I suggest you not to take in spicy foods there, otherwise you will definitely be sweating like hell.

Another suggestion, only visit there when it's winter.......hahahaha!

After we almost finish the meals, dad ordered three bottle of Stella artois beer for him, my sister and I. lol..

I find it quite nice to drink, I somehow prefer it more than calrsberg. hahaha... 

After the dinner, we went to The Mines to shop for a while because my sister wanted to buy a pair of shoes for herself. =X I kind of dislike shopping with her because she always tends to be choosy!!! I think if not the shop was closing down, she was gonna stay there for hours and hours......

Then, we went to Starbucks for coffee drinking session.... Sweet chats with my family, had lots of fun also. ^^

That's all for my day. Although it was kind of tiring, I enjoyed my day very much. =D Love ya dad and mum! 

p/s: I didn't capture the photos myself.. I took the photos from other blogs.. =X Don't sue me.. T_T

No one can be trusted. (meaningful wey! =P)

You continue to read between the lines, trying to read my mind,
And you’ll never understand me. But you will keep pretending that you do.
You’ll probably keep telling me what’s best for me,
Depending on what’s best for you.
You’ll keep telling me what I should do,
Until I fool myself into thinking I agree with you.
No one can be trusted.
But I continue to tell you my secrets.
I tell you my deepest thoughts, feelings, and weaknesses.
I pretend to trust you with the key to my soul,
But in my mind I know there are certain things I shouldn't say,
And I know that secrets are only safe when taken to the grave.
But I lie to myself and believe that I have friends.
When I’m really not sure anymore, what a friend is.
Because your friends have other friends they have to be loyal too.

But when I tell you that this is how I feel about love,
You think it is because I’m still in love.
You could never understand where I’m coming from
Unless you wanted to.
And no one wants to understand another
Because they are too busy trying to understand themselves.
I don’t want to understand you. I just want you to understand me.
Maybe that’s one thing we could understand about each other.
The only other way I’d believe you understand
Is if you have been through what I’ve been through and you saw what I’ve seen
If you felt what I felt and believed what I heard,
Then maybe you would know what it’s like to be hurt.
You wouldn’t think its old news, when it’s like yesterday to me.
You just want me to let it go because you don’t want me to see.
That maybe you aren’t the friend I believe you to be.

But I already know.
No one can be trusted.
So if I call you a liar, don’t take offense.
There is no one in this world
I feel is better than this.
If you’re phony and fake,
Its ok, I am too.
I won’t let the real me
Be vulnerable to you.
No one.
No, no one can be trusted.

让我们学会带走不愉快的一切

一、学会沉默        

有时候，你被人误解，你不想争辩，所以选择沈默。本来就不是所有的人都得了解你，因此你没必要对全世界喊话。却也有时候，你被最爱的人误解，你难过到不想 争辩，也只有选择沉默。全世界都可以不懂你，但他应该懂，若他竟然不能懂，还有什么话可说？生命中往往有连舒伯特都无言以对的时刻，毕竟不是所有的是非都能条列清楚，甚至可能根本没有真正的是与非。那么，不想说话，就不说吧，在多说无益的时候，也许沉默就是最好的解释。

二、至少平静        

在你跌入人生谷底的时候，你身旁所有的人都告诉你：要坚强，而且要快乐。坚强是绝对需要的，但是快乐？在这种情形下，恐怕是太为难你了。毕竟，谁能在跌得头破血流的时候还觉得高兴？但是至少可以做到平静。平静地看待这件事，平静地把其他该处理的事处理好。平静，没有快乐，也没有不快乐。

三、学会弯腰，这会是有意外的收获        

和别人发生意见上的纷歧，甚至造成言语上的冲突，所以你闷闷不乐，因为你觉得都是别人恶意。别再耿耿于怀了，回家去擦地板吧。拎一块抹布，弯下腰，双膝着地，把你面前这张地板的每个角落来回擦拭干净。然后重新省思自己在那场冲突，所说过的每一句话。现在，你发现自己其实也有不对的地方了，是不是？你渐渐心平气和了，是不是？有时候你必须学习弯腰，因为这个动作可以让你谦卑。劳动身体的同时，你也擦亮了自己的心绪。而且，你还拥有了一张光洁的地板呢，这是你的第二个收获。

四、不要想如果当初        

你说，人生是一条有无限多岔口的长路，永远在不停地做选择。如果只是选择吃炒面或炒饭，影响似乎不大，但选择读什么科系、做什么工作、结婚或不结婚、要不要有孩子，每一个选择都影响深远，而不同的选择也必定造就完全不一样的人生。你又说，生命中不可承受之情，就在于人生没有重来的机会啊。如果当初如何如何，现在就不会怎样怎样，这种充满怅然的喃喃自语，还是别再多说了吧。每一个岔口的选择其实没有真正的好与坏，只要把人生看成是自己独一无二的创作，就不会频频回首如果当初做了不一样的选择。

五、努力吧，不管成功与否，至少曾经美丽        

漫步林间，你看见一株藤蔓附着树干，柔软与坚实相互交缠，你感动于这静美的一幕。让幸福与归属就此驻足吧。你想，不知未来会有怎样一番风雨摧折？也许藤将断、树会倒，也许天会荒，地将老。你又想，那么，请时光停格在此刻吧，停格即是永恒。永恒里若有这静美的一刻，未来可能遭遇的种种劫难，便已得到了安慰与报偿。

六、保持单纯        

因为思虑过多，所以你常常把你的人生复杂化了。明明是活在现在，你却总是念念不忘着过去，又忧心忡忡着未来，坚持携带着过去、未来与现在同行，你的人生当然只有一片拖泥带水。而单纯是一种恩宠状态，单纯地以皮肤感受天气的变化，单纯地以鼻腔品尝雨后的青草香，单纯地以眼睛统摄远山近景如一幅画，单纯地活在当下，而当下其实无所谓是非真假。既然没有是非，就不必思虑；没有真假，就无须念念不忘又忧心忡忡。无是非真假，不就像在做梦一样了吗？是呀，就单纯地把你的人生当成梦境去执行吧。

七、偶尔'俗气'       

吃多了健康食品，偶尔你也想啃一啃鸭舌头和盐酥鸡。看多了大师名剧，偶尔你也想瞄一瞄耳光摔不完眼泪掉不完的连续剧。听多了古典音乐，偶尔你也想唱一唱爱他一百年又恨他一万年的流行歌曲。你知道健康食品对健胃整肠有意义，大师名剧对培养气质有意义，古典音乐对提升性灵有意义，可是，偶尔你其实并不想让自己时时刻刻活得那么有意。人生不需要把自己绑得那么紧。偶尔的小小放纵，是道德的。灵气充满或许接近大人，但偶尔的俗气会更平易近人。

八、控制情绪，别浪费了        

今天的你，是不开心的你，因为有人在言语间刺伤了你。你不喜欢吵架，所以你离开；可是你只是离开了那，却没有离开被那人伤害的情境，因此你愈想愈生气，愈有气，你就愈没有力气去理会别的事情，许多更该用心去做去想去处理的事件，就在你漫天漫地的心烦意乱之中，被轻忽被漠视被省略了。因为，你只是一心一意地在生气。在情绪上做文章，这是对自己的浪费，而且是很坏的浪费。毕竟，生气也是要花力气的，而且生气一定伤元气。所以，聪明如你，别让情绪控制了你，当你又要生气之前，不妨轻声地提醒自己一句：“别浪费了。”

九、抓住最好的时机，绝不错过        

你曾经买了一件很喜欢的衣裳却舍不得穿，郑重地供奉在衣柜里；许久之后，当你再看见它的时候，却发现它已经过时了。所以，你就这样与它错过了。你也曾经买了一块漂亮的蛋糕却舍不得吃，郑重地供奉在冰箱里；许久之后，当你再看见它的时候，却发现它已经过期了。所以，你也这样与它错过了。没有在最喜欢的时候上身的衣裳，没有在最可口的时候品尝的蛋糕，就像没有在最想做的时候去做的事情，都是遗憾。生命也有保存期限，想做的事该趁早去做。如果你只是把你的心愿郑重地供奉在心里，却未曾去实行，那么唯一的结果，就是与它错过，一如那件过时的衣裳，一如那块过期的蛋糕。

十、偶尔的出离轨道        

某次，你搭火车打算到A地去，中途却忽然临时起意在B地下了车。也许是别致的地名吸引了你，也许是偶然一瞥的风景触动了你，总之，你就这样改变了本来预定的行程，然后经历了一场充满惊奇的意外旅行。A地是你原先的目标，B地却让你体会了小小的冒险。回忆起来，你说，那是一次令你难忘的出轨经验。生命中的许多时候不也如此心无旁骛地奔赴唯一的目的，不过是履行了原本的行程而已；离开预设的轨道，你才有机会发现其他的风景。

十一、 悄悄 悄悄地 回归平静..        

曾经有一段时间，你心情低落，甚至懒得拉开窗帘，看着窗外的阳光。因此你当然也忘了去看看，窗台上那一盆每天都需要喝水的玛格丽特。如此不知过了多久，总算有一天，你度过了心情的低潮，同时也想起了你的玛格丽特。天啊，可怜的花，她还活着吗？你战战兢兢地拉开窗帘，却见她迎风招摇，花颜可掬。原来在过去的这段日子里，你虽然忘了喂她喝水，老天却没忘了以雨露眷顾她呢。许多事物悄悄地在你的视线之外进行，而且悄悄地安排好了它们自己。天生万物，天养万物，一切其实无须担心......你只要做的就是做好自己，不留任何遗憾...足矣。



Jiayou next semester. T.T

Received a effectively shocking morning-call from Mr.See when I was still enjoying my sweet dream. =-=

Well, before waking up and picking his call, I already could guess what he was gonna tell me. LOL! I knew he definitely came to tell me the results were released (he really did this to me every semester, hahaha! thx bro... =P). My hands were actually shaking when I was turning on my computer, opening the browser, typing the URL, logging in my e-advantage account, and finally, clicking the "academic results" link. I actually planned to check my grades subject by subject one. But I wonder what made me so damn freaking bravo or where on earth the courage within me came from to check all the results at one go! LOL~

Fortunately, I didn't fail any subject. Otherwise I would have fainted in front of my computer and lying on the hospital bed now. =S Anyway, my results were so-so only. Yeap there are A's, however, the other subjects have also dropped my cgpa a lot. What to do? That's the consequence of not paying efforts and attention in class most of the time. It's not the right time to regret now also. Since everything has been fixed, and become a fact. After all, I will have to conclude that I must work harder next semester. XD I've been telling this to myself every semester. T.T I really hope this time I can keep the promise of my own. hahaha!

p/s: ps ar bro, didn't mean to hide my results from you actually, it's just that my mood was down suddenly.. u know la, i feel a lil shocked of my results mar.. kinda couldn't accept at the moment.. but i did tell u after a while right? sorry ya hehe.. =P

Bye bye hectic semester!

Wooohooo! I wanna declare so loudly now, that, I'm officially FREE!! ...for a week only though. But it's at least better than nothing, right? =P I totally feel sooo damn relaxed and tension-less now. Last semester had been a disaster to me, I would daringly say it was the scariest semester ever as yet. I've been through tons of workloads, problems, and a lot more. So many unfinish-able assignments, reports, quizzes, midterms and notes! I finally got all of you finish-able now! LOL! Now it's really time for me to take a rest. I'm gonna replenish and refresh myself completely in this one-week time. Then, I will have to turn myself into busy-mode again next semester. Hopefully, it won't be as disastrous as the previous semester. *pray hard* Two subjects only...guess it should be easier to handle, right? =P 

Nevertheless I did learn a lot of new knowledge last semester, whether in terms of theoretical or practical aspect. I kinda regret now for not paying efforts and attention to the fullest for Waste Management this subject. The lecturer was good, but I somehow hated the subject in the beginning, and this little hatred did not seem to get rid of my mind until the end of semester. When it comes to the last lecture class, I only realised this subject could be damn important. Consequently, I wasn't unable to shoot my best in finals. Well, I should just let bygones be bygones. Anyway, the most chi-gek (in English we call it "exciting" LOL) assignment was none other than the WOW Food Fair. But I ain't gonna describe it much here as I'd made a post related to it previously. XD The other subjects were interesting also, except for Principles of Nutrition. When I first met the lecturer for this subject, she did impress me a little bit, and I was quite satisfied with her teaching style. But after a few lecture classes, she started to teach in a perfunctory way. Probably her mood tends to swing all the time at the moment she got pregnant! =S 

Anyway, there goes my hectic-but-fascinating semester. =) It's time to move on! But before that, I shall relax myself to the fullest first~ XD There is a well-known saying in Chinese - people are to rest when they wanna explore a longer journey. 人休息是为了走更长远的路! Sorry for my sucks translation... XD

Ok, time to play games, ciaozzz su~

Food Fair 圆满结束！

传说中的 food fair 终于圆满结束啦！若你们不晓得这是什么玩意儿，food fair 是我们的其中一个 project assignment ，过后每一组（一组大概七或八人）必须开发一种新食品在 food fair 当天卖给顾客们。顾名思义，所谓的新食品就是在外面市场你绝对不会看见或买到的产品。同时，这新产品必须符合 food fair 的主题 - WOW （健康 Wholesome，独创性 Originality，均衡 Well-balanced）。我想为了这个 assignment ，大多数的学生都不知道死了多少的脑细胞。在六月份里，学校的 food science lab 可以说是我的 “第二个家”，因为我们必须常常在 lab 做我们的产品开发（food development）。经过了无数次的尝试，当然也包括了失败的经验，我们最后决定在 food fair 当天卖牛奶红豆番薯挞！哈哈！这个产品的英文全名是 Milky Redto Taruto~ 想看看它的样子？待会你就可以看到了~ 呵呵……之前我一直很担心和紧张 food fair 的来临，怕当天我们的产品会无人问津，也怕我们的销售不能超越老师所定的目标（五百块！我的妈呀！）……当然，我终于可以放下心中的大石了。虽然我们的组没赢，也不是最受欢迎的一个，但是至少我们有卖完我们的产品！（还是断货的叻~ 嘻嘻……）虽败犹荣啊~ 自我安慰一下，哈哈哈！这 food fair 的举行日期是为期两天，但我的照片只有第二天的……对不起哦。（因为不是我拍滴~ xD）在此我也想恭喜获得冠亚军的组，你们是实至名归啊！因为你们的产品真的很好吃。 ^^
