Post CNY Fever

Time passes really fast!! No more holidays for me=( I miss those food, yamcha session  with friends, gatherings, and of course some gambling session..HAHAHA * I’m not a gambler but just once in a while. AND I discover a new food in town (Taiping of course)

TaaDaa… Roti pizza!!! Roti canai ala pizza. Fyi, it exist for quite a long time but now only I have a chance to eat it as I’m not going back that often. It is surprisingly yummy and you have to call to book half an hour earlier. It is crazy because I never ever queue for food in Taiping! I thought it queuing for food only exist in KL. HAHAHA

After teatime, it is normal or it’s a ritual Taiping people will be hanging out in Lake Garden have some evening walk. Have you heard of Taiping Lake Garden? I am very proud that I’m born in a small town with one of the nicest lake in Malaysia with its iconic hundreds of years old angsana tree covering along the road.

It is a very nice cozy place to visit and have a picnic as those angsana trees are big enough to act as a sun shield so you won’t feel hot. It is a recreational park where people do exercise and taichi in the morning and evening. Not only that, the lake has other use that is for St. Valentine's day. Yes! You hear me right, St.Valentine’s Day is usually some Chinese ritual thingy regarded as the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day practices in Malaysia and Singapore(mainly). On that day, single women would write their phone number on the oranges and throw them in the lake. * call me maybe LOL. Single men then will try to collect as many oranges as possible and eat them. It is said that when men eat oranges, the taste will give them an indication of their possible love! Sweet represents a sweet and joyous love, while sour means a bad fate. But I never see men eating it..haha… That’s what people say. So, believe it or not, it’s totally up to you.

Okie, enough of the oranges, let’s see a few shots of me hanging out in lake garden * Thumbs up =)

jumping shot, anyone??

laughter is the key of happiness=)

whether old or young, they are hanging out here

you can even take a nice #ootd too =)

People fall in love in a mysterious ways

It's the time of love again. How were your Valentine's day? Whether you're single, in a relationship or somewhere in between, we all have an idea of what we expect on Valentine's Day. We hate to admit it, but our expectations are usually far way different from the reality of how V-Day really goes down. BUT isn't it everyday  a Valentine's day?? V-Day is just a day we set to be remembered anyway. For me, I would love to have an impromptu date, receive flowers on a random day etc rather than celebrate only when there are special day purposes. It is not necessarily must be celebrated in in fancy restaurant, with surprises, flowers and presents.The little thing that you did add extra points even though there are none of these. A simple dinner at home with handmade card will do.

 LOVE, is a powerful strong word. It comes in different forms and the way people receive or give varies individually. To me, mutual connected feelings make me feel loved. That feeling provides you the security which you know that person would never ever let you go no matter what. That affection without limitations allows you to be comfortable with yourself without hiding your flaws, your weakness and still want to be with you and love you with all your worse parts. Even if you're not a very wifey material (* can't cook, LOL) or hubby material.

Love is all about gie and take, to inspire and grow together. When two people are together, they share their dreams and hopes. They want each other to be part of their life to get inspired and grow together along their journey. However, there will be always a challenge awaiting when one could never catch up with another pace, and they start to draw apart. Compromise is the key! You feel loved when your partner are willing to accommodate with you to walk at the same pace, or even inspire you to do more, to do better in your life. He sees you in a way no one else would have, truly understand what you really want in life.

I’m lucky to have someone by my side that support me all these while and all the wonderful people around me especially my parents. During the month of love,don't only think about yourself but people around you as well. I wish you all to have a wonderful romantic night with your loved ones. 

Overloaded clothes from shopping? Sell them!

I always attracted to buying things online especially bags and clothing. I do even shop for skincare products online! I think it is convenient and i like to browse pictures. But i do background checking before purchase so i don't get cheated.

Recently, I downloaded an app called Duriana that works as a site for people to post and sell their pre-loved item and do shopping at the same time. How good is that. I actually known this app for some time but never bother to try it out until i realize my closet was pack with unwanted clothes which i don't want to wear anymore and some are still new with price tag on it=(  So i decided to have a try and sell my pre-loved there.

Suprisingly, it works! I sold a bag. I am so excited as this was my first business deal ever! Now here's how Duriana works. Duriana is a new mobile marketplace for all things beautiful, discover, buy and sell using phone. As easy as that! It lets you discover amazing products for sale all around you , from your friends & neighbors, trendy blogshops or cool local shops you have yet to discover. Find great fashion, vintage items or beautiful handmade pieces.

We all sometimes buy something we never use, or get the wrong size, or receive a gift that's not quite our thing. Well,  don’t let those beautiful items go to waste, share the love with the duriana community and can earn some pocket money :) It is just like set up your e-commerce shop in less then a minute with a mobile and website that seamlessly enhance your e-commerce presence. It's FREE!

Time is NOW

Time passes very fast nowadays. I don't know why but perhaps I'm getting old? 24 hours a day seems not enough to spend! Chinese New Year is around the corner, assignments due date is coming nearer and I've been thinking about how much I've done this year. Had a little conversation with the girls today and to think about how much I had gone through, I'm glad I AM STILL ALIVE! lol

I always have this little habit where sometime before I sleep, I tend to think about life, what am i going to do next after i graduate, and what i've done throughout my life, what incident that i regret the most etc.

A quote  "People often think about their future, but the forget if they'll survive tomorrow." which hits me pretty hard. Like what usual parents say, you have to do this this this, so you can have a better future. It is true, thinking about your future is a good thing but I often think that enjoying the moment is as important as the future. I used to think money is important, so i did part time job at night and i went to class the next day in the morning. It is very tiring, i didn't have enough time to hang out with friends and enjoy college life like other students. I felt being left out. By the way, I am quity stingy in someway..lol My friends would always ask me to chill and spend some money =.=''  It's reasonable too as you earn that money that are meant to spend anyway.

You can have all the future or the money you want, but always give appreciation whenever you can, whenever you have the chance to, cuz the only thing you do not want to lose is the moment, the chance, the time you could have.  

Most people say, enjoy ur life while you can. Time won't reverse the moment for you. So, now I's going to enjoy my college life and relax before i step into the real reality working life =)

Health Vs Wealth

Many people know the important of health but not everyone is willing to change their lifestyles, especially their eating preferences and start to exercise. For me, im a couch potato. I can sit on the couch snacking and watch drama the whole day,skip dinner and ended up having supper. Now i felt my digestion system is getting bad =(

I am trying to eat as regularly as possible, eat more fruits and veges and spend more time to exercise, well perhaps have a walk with my dog together every other day.

Health  is  the  most  important asset of our life because  in  some  cases  no  matter  how  rich  you  are,  you  can't  buy life. Many people neglect about perfect health because they are preoccupied with other things they think are  more important such as earn as much money possible in order to have a luxurious life. In facts, without health, we would not enjoy wealth at all.

In my opinion, I strongly agree that health is more important than wealth. Therefore, it is better to start taking care of our health before it’s too late. This affects me when what happened to my grandma three years ago after having kidney failure, my family are putting health as a priority.

Lifestyle affecting our health.

Bad Lifestyle = Bad Health

Trust me, having a  healthy diet, doing regular  exercise, not smoking  and not drinking  too much alcohol can help you stay well and enjoy a long life. You’re never too young or too old to switch to a healthier lifestyle.
