EMPRESS ORCHID

This is a very nice book which I borrowed from my housemate, Ling..I started it on yesterday and finished it today!. I think I'm obsessed in reading this kind of book.


IT is a story of Empress Orchid, Tzu Hsi storytelling abt her life from a country girl up till holding the position of Empress.How she undertake her life from being threathened by the concubine of the Emperor and the minister/ servants.


She was capable of holding the country together when China was threatening by enemies from various regimes. The details are well-described by the author originated from Shanghai, Anchee Min. It emcompasses the struggle, effort and determination of Empress Orchid being a good wife and mother in her time.



I should not describe more and I'll leave it to those who are interested to read it. Renee, u should try reading this, start off with this english book! It worths u a read because it's extremely nice and the english used is user-friendly too!


Thanks to my housemate for ur recommendation of this book. U boost my interest on it and don't forget to keep lending me if u have such book!;p

Khai Shing's Farewell

Sorry that I post this so late, Khai Shing..I was kinda lazy to update on timely basis so I just do it depending on my mood. Btw, the event was on 2nd of July, where we planned to have a surprise farewell for Khai Shing and WE did it! Group 4 is the best!.

Actually the initial plan was on Friday, the week before but it was delayed due to our course rep.'s packed schedule. We had confirmed that there'll be a gathering on wed night and we were discussing outside the lecture hall without knowing Khai Shing was arrived at college so early!

However, group 4 members are good in acting as if nothing has happened and heading for the destination immediately aft we said "split!"


Before heading to the said destination, "Ming Cha Suan", we went to her house as Pei Zhi and Yun Wan wanna drop their things. At that time, Khai Shing still didn't know abt our plan but all of our classmates already waiting. Hui Tzi even asked me to tell Khai Shing that we are hungry and be there as soon as possible!.


Eventually, we arrived and this busy Khai Shing still talking on phone at outside. Somehow I don't know why the phrase " no handphone allowed" was said.

She was like quite shocked and finished her call as soon as possible. Duh.. Which restaurant and cafe don allow handphone?!haha


She was really surprised seeing all her group members were there for her. I can tell she didn't know how to response even feel shocked deeply.Everyone started to order their meal and not forgetting photo taking session ! Before and after dinner, we were like taking photos madly.

What's the reason?. This is our first gathering with the most ppl. It sounds like a curse because everytime when we planning to hv gathering or dine together, there will be sth happen.

For farewell purpose, presents are never to be forgotten. We had bought her present and requirement is wearing it when take photos.What is it and does she like it? Ask her!;p.

Our dinner ends at 8sth and everyone was exhausted playing around(actually is running around to get themselves stuck in the photo-taking session). It's time to say bye and it ends like that.. Safe trip, Khai Shing!

life~....

IT's a normal sunday, with me alone in the room, own space doing things with a very slow pace..Just read an article in The Star.. The title is " going on a decent life". A good article with facts.. People are leading to a demanding and uncontented life..

Why is everyone rushing for material enjoyment even though they are not able to do it??. Seeking for part time job trying to earn as much as possible including myself has been so uncontented from time to time.. I remembered some of the para in the article which the author quoted.

Here it is...

"We are born to be free, happy and not to suffer but because of our unrealistic desires and aims, we create problems and complicate our lives unknowingly over a period of time."

“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life”.



Isn't it beautiful??!....Yes, there's always a room for improvement ..yet we need to really consider in depth what are things we really need and strive for.. Back to the basic, isn't it happiness more than anyhing else?. IT's meaningless to achieve goals without the loved ones..Precious relationship can never be measured in monetory terms.. I want to do my best in studies in a right mode.. enjoy life whenever I can..

Sungai Wang and Times Square!.

This is the first time to S.Wang and Times Square(with tseyeing n lcl) since my long break in kk.. At first don't intend to go so soon as it caused me a lot when to city!!!>. As expected, I really spent for goods!!!... The purpose went out was because TseYeing wanna get back her mp3 and I wanna get a pair of shoes...

We arrived there in the afternoon after class.. First destination was Low Yat Plaza for electronic stuffs..IT was not me who wanna buy things there but end up I bought a mp3 there !. But seriously, IT's cheap costs me RM 80 for 2gb ..Haiz!!!....Even though it's not branded but my friend told me this is from Singapore, Walker brand.. SO far it functions well ...;P..

Next, moved to Times SQuare..Supposed to be window shopping there but lastly bought a watch ~~~..hmmm... Girlss....never resist !~~I had been looking for shoes but didnt get any that atracts me...After a few hours walk, we stopped at a cafe named "GASOLINE"..Guess what.. the environment is sooo unique but with over friendly workers.. Once there's customer step into their cafe, "Welcome!!" with different tones will be heard!... We dined there ordering some toasts and snacks..We just had toasts on the day before and yet we still ordering the same thing over and over again!!... OBSESSION!!!>>>>and of course with special drinks!!... Don't get me wrong..It wasn't alcoholic drinks but ice-blended with special flavour...

Last but not least... Sungai Wang!!>. a nice place for shopping free after all...hahaha. I was just spotting for my shoes and tested some ..still remember the sales girl in MOD!> Poor service!.. KL sale assistants' service was really bad and poor!!> IF u try without buying , they will show u their face with "charcoal"!!!!!!... Black!.. However, I managed to get a pair in shoesobsession.. LIKE IT!.hehe....

Friendly speaking.. IF staying in kl, the living costs are high and too many temptation..U hardly can enjoy with the environment ...INFLATION !.PETROL HIKE!,,, haiz....GOD... drop me some money plz...hahahah..

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong"... a few times the bell rang but noone out to open the door... at that time, one of his hsemates back and we refused to let him in.haha... but aft waited awhile, we decided to go in with his hsemates...Hrmpp!.

I knocked his door a few times and there's no response... haiz... this guy really... lastly, when he opened his door, we sang him a birthday song immediately!. and guess what we saw?.he's half naked !!!!... oh my gosh!. his already off his light and preparing to sleep.No wonder!~then we kept smiling there and forced him to come out ..

A tasty chocolate moist cake was presented first..not forgetting a big birthday card with weird content. A card with the things he needs to promise us and swear not to forget our birthday!.hahahaha... then as usual, cakes and drinks. We even walked to Mcd to chit chat for some time..
