Happy Chinese New Year,

2013 had been a speedy one, just a blink of an eye is alrdy Febuary and today is the the 1st day of Chinese New Year, so HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR wishes everyone to have a prosperous year ahead and have a splendid  celebration,

Havent really had the energy to blog anymore, i use to be a very active blogger but now with the graduation coming, i need to focus mostly into my graduation projects. Speaking of graduation, we graduating students are to have a solo and group photoshoot for the graduation magazine. The theme were 'Be Yourself, Be Wild' and the clothes we are compulsory to wear is plain white tops and jeans. So my group and lecturer thought of putting on suspender would be nice, so the day before the shoot we went for shopping and get ourselves suspenders. :)

Heres the outfit of the day.. posted it in lookbook *for the first time*

the hair i were trying to go for is wavy grease hair, but it seems to be failed :( Instead of the shoot and assignment, there were times im trying to escape from the projects and attended parties like previously my bff's birthday party in her house and the recent one, Gala Premier of 'Once Upon A Time' with HKL and family.

Its been fun and hectic, even today is 1st day of CNY im home working on rendering for my client how hardworking am I now?! hahaha will be blogging when i have the energy 

Happy Chinese New Year

Au Revoir to 2012, Bonjour to 2013

Greetings from Sunway

Happy New Year readers

hahaha its late but still i want to wish everyone having a blessing 2013 new year, 

2012 had been a drift i should say, that could probably be me spending too much time in the college, and no time for my family and friends, which i totally regret, all the time arriving college at about 10 and sometimes even 7 morning and returned home at between 9 to 11.

Obviously I had got no energy to organize or even manage a gathering event. Im like trying to have a gathering so that i can meet them and at least have a night or day with them to have a movie or even just dinner. But since im more focused on my studies, my grades in 2012 were great, and im very glad that i got no fails for the entire year. Back in the days when im in high school im always the one getting fails in certain classes, and my rank in the class is like always the *below10* as im not good in theory and maths. Anyhow, 2012 had been a crazy, hectic, but certainly a fun year.

and im so happy to get to know the college JD gang, theres always laughter with them, ALWAYS, even when the tension was so strong becuase of the due dates and the stress, but we got along, but that would be me also, because im always being to stupid one in class, because i felt like we should live up and not being dull all the time. And also we always help out each other in the studio which is very good, thank you.. and during my brithday when i was in Hatyai, i were unable to celebrate it in KL, but my JD batch celebrate with me, and some surians wanted to but i couldnt find the time to spare cause it was so close to my due dates 

Au Revoir to 2012, Bonjour to 2013

stay tuned for my awesome 2013 year :)

Birthday Vacation to Thailand Part 3

this is the video of the interior of the 4th island we visited..
so cool isnt it, is my first time being there, and i feel that the nature is so magnificent and majestic but is not that i dont know it existed but to be there and feeling the environment, is so much different then viewing it in tv or online.

enough of that, you will just have to feel that yourself.
The third day, well, we got up early to see the sunrise of Trang, ill let the pictures to do the talking..

After we watching the sunrise, we walked down the beach and we saw these statues,

dewgong statues?

the mists in the morning is so strong that, 

the view became misty but is so cooling, love the breezy feeling.

below are some monochrome images of the beach i took

the death of an unknown crab

water squirting from the sand created by the crabs living underneath. 

the shell that were left alone

the feel of being apart and alone

hahaha, trying to be abstract and poety LOL, enough of 'alone' im there with family, 

so im not alone. love is always around, just need to appreciate thats all.

After the morning beach walk, we immediately checked out and get out of Trang and head towards south for more sight seeing and breakfast :)

then we drop by a place like a malaysia kopitiam with a slight penang style.

Then we head towards south again cause we planned to be in Hatyai on the evening, but on our way, I saw theres so many tourist spot's temple, cave and beaches. So i randomly chosen a cave and coincidentally i chosen the Buddha Cave.

The Buddha Cave is also one of the main part of our Thai vacation, my family and I went in with a monk i with communication problem because of the language, so instead we used body language, thats how we get around in Thailand. 

So we entered the cave with the monk guiding us in, theres actually many pathways in the cave, and each pathways in a certain point theres a few Buddha statues in it, its seriously scary because of the dark place but yet safe, cause is a buddha temple therefore the feeling is still okay rather then being very scared. Well of course we were shocked when the bats pass by us suddenly, who wouldnt be for a first timer to visit caves, am i right?! then theresa pathway where theres a Buddha Statue in the middle and a long mat along the pathway, and the light there wasnt working, so because of the mat, we were asked to take out our shoes as we walked on the mat and stupidly my dad were taking video in that part and he were so left behind, the monk were like rushing my dad to walk faster but in a way that worrying us, so i got frightened immediately because of the monk's speaking tone and i couldnt understand what his saying and also the dark area. 

Once we reached out of the cave (another side), we were brought into a place like a holiday homestay.

the place is like so wide and peaceful, the strangest thing is that there isnt even a people there, and i begin to imagine stuff, im 'wtfing worried' i was just in a stunned mode, because in my mind, Thailand is a place of dark magic and haunted places like in their movies, weird things could happen.. sorry for being too imaginative and pathetic but im darn worried.

After that, the monk continues guide us out thru caves but another pathway, on our way out, the monk brought us to have a peek on the natural minerals/crystals. The minerals/crystals are so beautiful grown and is all over the wall of the caves and along the cave's pathway, theres a river stream.

Once we got out of the cave, I AM SO RELIEVED TO BE HONEST, safe and sound without injuries or anything dropped. hahaha, but this is seriously a great experience, its like a once in a lifetime experience for me. though it was scary but is exciting. Before we got into the car, another monk came by to shake hand with my dad, the monk were having a grin on his face, which made my family and I stunned, because anything could happen in a place where we have no idea where we were and is not in our country, and my dad were like thank you thank you with body language and all, then the monk finally shown us what he wanted, a cigarette from my dad, immediately my dad gave him a packet of cigarette as a present gift. WE WERE STUNNED and i were like 'mom and sis lets get in the car immediately' then we left. 

blogging bout it gives me the shiver down my spine *shivers*

After that we continued our journey back to Hatyai, and we arrived to my favourite noodle shop. So many i've tried they have the best noodles everytime im there, i will at least have it once but not only one bowl but 3 bowls. THEY ARE 'THAT' GOOD, and also because the portion was so small. 

this is the place of the 'heavenly noodles' hahaha

the chef and the man behind the scenes i mean infront the scenes NVM, hahahaha

Well they also have something like crackers but its actually a fried fish skin, its very good as well

So after that we went for a lil shopping in the Hatyai malls and have dinner, then the next morning we left Hatyai and we're back in our roots LOL, back in Malaysia, oh sweet country, haha

Woots, finally finished bloggin bout the Thai Birthday Vacation :)
will be updating on the recent college assignments so do stay tuned kay

Merry Christmas Everyone 

Birthday Vacation to Thailand Part 2

Day 2 in Thailand were awesome too, we travelled back from Krabi to Trang which is toward the southern part of Thailand and it took us about 2 hour drive, and then on our way to Trang, we drop by this wide area by the road, its so wide that we thought there might be somehting there, but there isnt and we had no idea what it was, so out of curiosity we looked and walked around the wide area, as you see below the area has lil slopes and also there were a small praying site by the left, its so weird and yet interesting, but still no idea as what is that area for... 

After we arrived Trang, we stop by the seaside for a lil rest and walked around the beach and shops as we were walking we saw pictures of islands that we can go to through boat, so we asked, and we rented a boat with a driver and a scuba diving guide for this scuba diving 'expedition' hahaha

Before we go for the exciting expedition we had a squid dish, its so nice and sour WHEEEE!!!!! is hard to describe food for me, i guess you will just have to taste it yourself hahaha 

So we got changed and get ready for the expedition, so exciteddddddd, below is the driver and a scuba diving guide hahaha 'hi' we couldnt speak thai, so we were like body language all over this entire expedition, amazing right?

beautiful isnt it the view!!!! i were so sad that i could get a waterproof camera to take pictures up close, SIGH

The expedition was to 4 island, the front 3 island we visited was just nothing yet compared to the 4th, because the front 3 we went were just scuba diving around the outskirts of the island.

Whats special bout this 4th island is that there's only one entrance and one exit, and the way we entered it is by swimming through a dark dark tunnel and the wave are quite rough and thankfully there wasnt rain, moreover, there isnt even a glismpe of light, we were just blinded by the dark and as soon as we nearly arrive, theres light and when we got a clear image i saw a bunch of angmohs standing LOL hahahahaha then full view we see this entire beach and small forest within this island.

Greetings from the 4th island

mama so adorable hahahahaha

yo wassup dude,

peace

free hugs? anyone?

of course how could we not have a family picture? :)

is not called MOOK ISLAND but i will restate it again once i googled it hahaha

Another glimpses of my monochrome photography of this magnificent island

Will be posting more photos of this island in facebook so checkem out there :)
So after the expedition we returned back on shore of Trang and by that time it was alrdy time for dinner and right before dinner we went to check in to the hotel immediately before the evening ends, After the check in, we returned back to the place where we had our squid dish before the extreme 'expedition' and have our dinner there.
 

Of course the dinner were so delicious, and i had my favorite dish again the marinated raw prawns hahaha, Before i end this post, pls enjoy the beautiful sunset by the beach

thats an anonymous kid  by the shore, what a beautiful view!!!!
