The sun shone so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes. Glaring. But you could feel the wind coming in from the waves crashing the shore. It was nice. We were finally there, Pantai Tengah, Langkawi., the first thing we did once we landed and checked into our hotel in Langkawi.
It was 3 years since I came here and my third time being here. I was quite surprise I could remember the area around Pantai Cenang a bit such as where the restaurant was, the mart and the beach.
The weather was a bit unpredictable. It was sunny when we reached there on our first day. We could hardly open our eyes and we needed our sunglasses on.
Anyway.we did had a quite enjoying first day. We managed to get ourselves digging into our awesome dinner with seafood and we also went into town - Kuah to buy some chocolates and liquor. Langkawi is one of the tax free places in Malaysia and as awesome as it is, you don't have to pay tax for anything you buy, that includes McDonald's.
We were lucky that our hotel was just along Pantai Cenang road and right opposite to the Underwater world and McDonald's. It was very convenient. ^^
Like I said, the weather was very unpredictable, on our second morning (around 4am - 5am) I could hear thunder and wind and rain from our room. It didn't stop until around 11am when we went for island hopping. The good thing is that it stopped, the bad thing is the waves were rough. We were screaming like crazy as the uncle drove us down the sea, literally island hopping, we were hopping all the way through. Rough, crazy but fun! we had an awesome time ^^
And at night, we went drinking at the beach. You could see the stars in the sky. So beautiful. also you could hear the waves crashing. It was a nice experience. You could just fall asleep listening to the waves. but, its dangerous sleeping by the beach as the tide rose quite fast that night.
steady hands the uncle have. =)
The third day. Well, it's sunny and hot again like crazy in the morning. We checked out of the hotel and head towards Gunung Manchinchang for the cable car. Too bad the skybridge was close though. the fun thing was we get to eat ice cream 700m above sea level. However, the weather, as unpredictable as it could be, was so cloudy and misty up there. After that, we head towards the Black Sand Beach. The beach was really black in color due to the components they had that occur naturally. Before heading back to the airport, we head into Kuah again to have our awesome Thai dinner and I bought more chocolates ^^
Here are some pictures.
It's been so long since I write a post on my blog. So, I guess my trip is a nice story to share with you guys~
Today is already Sunday!!means~ tomorrow we will be back in college and class will go on as usual.Let's begin where I stopped. Thursday
Nothing special happened that day.Well, I spent my time in my home sitting in front of my computer and staring at it. I really don't know what to do. So, I decided to surf around the net to find some useful stuffs to put it into my assignments. When I went downstairs, I found out my brother didn't go to school again, which means he skipped class. I was so angry and I was thinking :" What are these kids doing and thinking these days? Do they feel 'I am tired, so I do not want to go to class'? Are they lazy? Are they avoiding something? Or are they just finding excuses to disguise their irresponsible attitude towards themselves?" I just don't quite understand the kids these days (my time will be, excuses = caning and scolding) So, I continued to do my stuffs and ignored him.
At night, I watched American Idolwith my family on 8tv ( I don't subscribe Star World). This week's theme is "Inspirational songs" and their mentor is Alicia Keys( I still prefer last week where Adam Lambert is the mentor^^). She gave good advices to all of the contestants and she keep stressing a point where they should feel the song and get connected to it so that the viewers will get what they feel too. Well, I want to talk about a few contestants. First up was Casey and he did performed quite well. I mean he played the guitar well, sang well and it was an okay performance for me. The second one was Lee Dewyze. I kind of like this contestant because he gave me a feeling of he is a come back of David Cook and Kris Allen. I was touched by the way he sang that night. To me, he has a chance to win if he has more confidence(that's my opinion-lah~).Siobhan was one of the favorites but she seems lost and I think she gets more worse every week.The contestant I loved most was Crystal Mamasox!! She was the last person to come out to sing but she sang very nicely and she cried but she managed to sing the whole song. She is great! She has personality too!

Friday
Happy Birthday Dad!!!and also 2 of my friends, Lim Chai Fook and Chen Kai Xian!! And...haha..my friend's brother, even if I don't know you.
Morning was usual for me (assignments) and some researching.
When it was dinner time, we went to a restaurant near Sunway Pyramid to celebrate my father's birthday. It was the second time I went there with my family. The first time was last Friday where we had our birthday there to celebrate my mother's birthday.
During the night, me and family sat down in front of the TV set again to watch American Idol, Idol Gives Back programme and results show(thank God Tim Urban was voted out). This usually 1 hour show has become 2 hours for the Idol Gives Back Concert where they featured singers such as The Black Eyed Peas, Mary J.Blidge, Orianthi, Sir Elton John, previous American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and many more. They also show many videos about their effort to help prevent malaria among the people in Africa by calling out to people to donate just $10 to buy mosquito nets for the Africa people so they won't get malaria easily.I was touched by all the videos that are reported I feel we need to take the effort to help these people by just donating and charity work = good karma (if you believe it).
Speaking about charity, every year me and my fellow friends called the Youth group will organize a 30 hour Famine D.I.Y camp by World Vision and this year theme is "为wei孩hai子zi 打da造zao无wu贫pin城cheng市shi，light up their life". (The first half of that sentence in means we build a non-poverty urban area for the children) This camp will take place on the 21st and 22nd of august 2010 and readers, I would like to show you a video about the families' stories in the urban areas where poverty happens to them
Saturday and Sunday
Okay...
These 2 days I was at my senior house having some not too serious, some fun but still kind of serious meeting and it was all about sharing.
On Saturday, we discussed to juniors' problem among ourselves(ex-seniors) and ways we suggest to solve the problem. It was a long one and it took 12 hours(9 am to 9pm) . However in the end, we are quite satisfied about what we came out for the juniors.
The next day, I reached my senior's house around 7 something to discuss some last minute detail and problems we are going to face. The day went quite smoothly and we manage to hear the opinions of our juniors from each form and their feeling and thoughts toward the matters that are discussed earlier.
I knew the meeting will take a long time so I postponed my piano class to another time to be there and to listen to their problems and help solving it. By the end of the day, I did hope they solve the problems among themselves and I wish them good luck in everything, especially their upcoming Kadet Remaja Sekolah anniversary celebration.
After that, I went back home, eat my lunch-dinner meal, take a nice bath, turn on my computer and start writing this blog. Hope you guys like it.^^
So, these are the things I did during my 1 week holiday!!!!
See all of my fries friends(still hungry ==lll) tomorrow at the new lakeside campus ya!! Hope all of you don't get lost in the maze!! ( Just kidding)
~End of Part 2~
Holiday is here!!!
Today is already Wednesday and not one of my assignments is done and my class is reopening on next Monday!!Great!!!
Okay.So, since this is one of them, it is fine as I can express my FEELINGShere.
Dear readers,
My holiday so far...not bad!
Let's start from Monday shall we??
Monday started with a late morning wake. After that, I washed up, eat some 'brunch', went to the room, sit down, turn on my computer and start doing some assignments and some chatting with friends! Well, at the end of the day, I manage to complete some of the tasks I wanted it to be done and I was proud!( I am a lazy person.I do admit!)Also, of all the assignments that are given to date(total:4), the advertisement analysis was the toughest one yet! So, I have to add more effort right? Wish me luck!! Normally after dinner on a Monday night, I will sit in front of the TV set and start to relax and entertain myself. I would like to share with you guys about a show. Its called So You Think You Can Dance.I think most of you (if you have Astro and tuned in to AXN)have heard of it. Even though it is a bit outdated ( AXN is showing season 6, which is last year's one), I still love it a lot. This is because it inspires people to achieve their dreams. Some of them came with nothing, "dark" backgrounds but they still strive hard, did their best to achieve their dreams. This attitude made a lot of people to look up to them, especially the younger generations. Last Monday show was about the finale. However, what I want to show is not about the contestants that made into the finale but the guy who almost made it but he didn't regret. His name is Legacy and he is a b-boy street dancer. During the Las Vegas audition, he nearly didn't make it because he was not used to being choreographed as he is a street dancer. The judges made him dance FOR HIS LIFE. He did it and the judges let him through to the next round and he did all he could and he made it to the top 8.

(Video From Youtube) I am proud of him because he changed a lot in such a short time. He can made it this far because of his effort and it is not easy for dancers in this show to come this far. If he can do it, so do we. We just need some effort!
Tuesday was the second day I spent my time doing almost the same time again, which is sit down in front of my computer and do my assignments. We even chat about our assignments and we decided to go to the Lakeside campus on Wednesday to do some research.
So, about today, Wednesday. We went to the lakeside campus as planned. Some of us came late but me and Jia Leng went early around 8 something in the morning. Jia Leng reaction was like "OMG!"Haha^^ This is her first time here so I get it. The library is 4 storey high and it has a big lake. Every first comers will definitely say a " WOW!" So everybody eventually arrived and my stomach started to growl very loud until my friends could hear it. So we went to the food court and eat an early lunch. Ameera and Kevin ordered Chicken chop from a restaurant operated by students but they didn't manage to finish it because it's salty. So, guys, improve on it! After that, we went back to the library and did our assignments and we found out that Kevin will no longer continuing his studies here anymore as he has to fly back to Taiwan. All of us were shocked. I mean.. we just made friends and he now has to leave, so bad! But, we are gonna miss him and that is for sure!
