中国话 China ~~~~

I'm back from China in one piece!
Wait...I did come back in one piece, but somehow that piece gained some extra weight in the wrong areas *sigh*

Not only that, I came back with a sprained ankle, which is now a swollen lump of blood clot.
Luckily I can still walk normally^^ though sometimes I limp a bit. *sigh*

ALSO, my face's condition is getting worse.

Dry weather + dirty-newly-bought-gloves + scratching hands = Reddish + Peeling + Pimply skin

That's exactly how bad my skin is right now. It makes me feel a little down (that's why I am not having any plans for Christmas nor New Year, because I think I am in no condition to be seen by public ;p)
BUT..... I'm trying hard to not feel bad about it!!
*cheers for my determination on not trying to scratch the peeling skin away*
Anyways, my visit to Fujian Province of China has been enlightening and entertaining in it's own way.

I spent 8 days and 7 nights in China, and I'll sum it all up in one post!!!! *claps and cheers*

a bored WenYi on the way to KLIA

The bad bad weather with the clouds and the Plaza Toll beneath while on the way to KLIA on the 15th of Dec 2007.
(Artistic ain't it? :p)

A view of Malaysia and The South China Sea on board Xiamen Airlines~~

The trip is generally like this,

Malaysia > Fuzhou > Mt Wuyi > Xiamen > Quanzhou > Putian > Fuzhou > Malaysia

Well, initially, I had thought China is this kinda less developed country compared to Malaysia.
I thought their cities would be smaller like Klang,
BUT!!
BUT!!
I was kinda blown away when I saw how BIG their cities were.

Fuzhou is something like Penang City.
Big, heavy traffic, loads of ppl walking around, etc.

Reached Fuzhou late, and was being Malaysian-night owls, we craved for food...and found Chinese dumplings!!!!!
Guess how much this tray cost??

Each tray of dumplings cost only 3Yuan = less than RM1.50 per tray!!!!!!
Food is cheap!! CHEAP!!! really cheap!!!!

Fuzhou's main train station~

Fuzhou's main bus station (something like Pudu bus station, but with lots of small shops selling loads of shoes, winter clothing, food, etc..)

A Plaza tol in Fuzhou~ (and I thought it was a bridge intially = =)

Mt Wuyi is China's national heritage town. (the tour guide mentioned something about Mount Wuyi being listed as a United Nation's Natural Area or something like that. If u're interested in reading more about those facts, google it. lol^^)
Basically Mount Wuyi is an town with loads of hills for u to take nice scenic pictures of mountains and rivers.

Mount Wuyi's Airport

Thread of Sky~ Which is actually a cave with really REALLY narrow steps!

There!! Proof that the steps ARE indeed narrow!!! If u happen to be "rounder" you would most probably get stuck in between the rocks!! XD

A scenic view taken in Mount Wuyi!!!

I love this pic!!! I am such a good photographer!! ;p

My mum and I~

Another nice pic^^

The river which we rode on~

me me me!!! a chubby me!!! *winks*

a boat of six and our "driver" haha~~

A really big tea pot~~
Me on the top of one of the hills in Mount Wuyi. The weather was around 10-15 celcius but climbing up the hill gets one sweating no matter how cold it may be!!!


Thus, once I stopped climbing I had to wear a jacket. Hehe^^

Xiamen = mini Singapore.

The tour guide seemed super proud about it. He kept mentioning how much they emulated from Singapore City; which is true to a certain extent.
They have lots of nice apartments! (the newly build ones are much nicer than those I saw in Singapore.)
Their roads are wide and clean! They have workers walking around just to sweep and make sure the roads are rubbish-free!

The high rise buildings of Xiamen behind me~

Quanzhou is a small town, which highlight was this old stone carving of an old man.

The old man with not-so-perfect ears~

On the way from Quanzhou to Putian, I saw this "masjid"-like building.
But once we were closer, the words stated that the building is a restaurant!!!

Putian is a smaller town, which has a Shaolin Temple (but the tour guide didn't bring us there = = because we were short of time and had to visit Mazu Temple)

The odd 13 members of the tour and Goddess of Mazu~

After the trip, I had a new idea of what China really is.
It's a developing nation, which is getting more advanced than Malaysia!
Yet, sad to say, I still managed to experience door-less toilets!!!

Yup!!! Door-less toilets still exists in China (not in their cities, but in smaller restaurants and temples)
I didn't take any pictures of the door-less toilets cause I usually go to the loo in pairs or groups. So I wouldn't wanna take any pictures with butts around,would I?

And one thing about their toilets which I think Malaysians could use is the "pijak" flush.
Just step on the level, and ta-daa~~~
everything u excreted is off to the sewage system!! Haha^^

However, many people in China have one bad habit which I cannot tolerate...
it's the way they spit!!

They have to give out this "special" sound effect every single time before they spit!!
It's a not-so-melodious-sound that would make me feel like puking!!!!
Thus, whenever I heard THAT sound, I will stay way way AWAY from the person;
just in case the mixture of phlegm and saliva gets stuck on me *ewwww*

A few more pictures~~

The lovely skies on the flight back to Malaysia~

The stuff which I bought!!!!!

> A red winter jacket
> one white jacket (which unfortunately got stained when I soaked them last night)
> two long sleeved shirt
> two long john
> 3 pairs of shoes
> 20 odd items
> a dvd with 100+ songs for 5 yuan!
> 5 packets of green tea flavoured chewing gum

Golden Compass

Well, after the blogging spree two days ago.

I decided to take a break from blogging, and start packing for my vacation.

Thus, I spent almost the WHOLE day, planning of what outfit to bring for my 3day2night's trip to singapore, and also for my China trip.

Yup, I take a VERY long time to pack. = =
I will choose my clothings to match with my shoe,
and try the outfit to see how it looks.
( a friend said that I'm vain just because I do that..lol^^)

Well, I know most guys just grab a few shirts, and undies, and towel, and chuck it inside their bags, and wear a jeans for vacation, without thinking about questions like,

"Does this shirt match my shoes?"
"Does the color of my shirt clash with the jeans?"
"Do I need to bring a formal wear, just in case?"

Ya. I think about all that when I pack. *sweats*

I know it's a time consuming action, which serves no significant purpose.
Yet, the joy of trying out my own clothes,

The joy trying out the different ways I can wear them,

IS just sooo satisfying~~

Anyways, later that day, I went to India street with my parents,
came home, packed some more,
then went out to watch Golden Compass with Ben and Mei .

The movie was so-so.
Nothing much to shout about.
I've never really been a fan of movies, where their lead characters are children or young adults. (remember The Seekers, Narnia, and also the very first Harry Potter movie?)
It's not like I hate to see children act,
it just happens that I prefer movies with dashing lead actors like Johnny Depp^^ *giggles*

And the cinema was so darn cold! It has been raining quite a lot in Klang lately.
Hopefully it WON'T rain in Singapore these coming days,
if NOT I will miss my chance to take pictures!! Hahaha^^
(I keep telling my friends I wanna go places just to take photos that they just ignore me = =)

So, I will be gone, and coming back soon^^
Hopefully I will have time to blog and upload pictures of singapore on the 14th!
So till then, I will miss my blog~~~ lalala~~

My birthday party

Yes, although my birthday ended,
I insisted on celebrating it,
simple because it's my 21st birthday!!!

Hehe^^ I prepared fruit salad and also pasta for the party.
(and I also made jelly, which was a complete failure *sobs* it was watery, and tasted...bad *sigh*)

Anyways, less talk more pictures!
(because my fingers are kinda tired now, it's my 4th post today!!!!!!)

Yes, I know it's maddening to put up 4 post within a day!
But come next week, I won't be free because I'll be going down Singapore and Xiamen, China!!!
(i.e I will be M.I.A = missing in action from the 12-22nd of December~~)

And when I get back from my vacation, I think I will be out most of the time because Christmas and New Year is just around the corner!!!! *so so excited*

Oh, pictures pictures~~

my bro's friends and i and my birthday cake^^

my girls and i^^

My family^^

The guys and i~

my presents and i^^

( i must mention that the vase used to hold the roses is also a present!)

Enchanted~~

This is my third post today!!!! *shocked*

Well, I'm actually trying to make up for the lost posts in the past week, so bear with me. Lol~~
This time, I can focus on blogging, and ONLY blogging because I didn't log into my msn, nor Facebook!!! *yeah~ I AM disciplined ;p*

Anyways, this post shall about what I did after the camp.

On the very NEXT day of the camp, I went for....

a Karaoke session @ Green Box, Bukit Tinggi

Yup, I finally went to the newly opened Green Box *excited*
There were only four of us that day, and two of them reached late.
SO, during the first 30 mins or so, I was left to sing ALL I wanted SOLO~~ *jumps*

Then a few days ago,

I watched Enchanted!!!

The movie is made up of sweets and everything nice!!!
I was left feeling like a little girl; dumbfounded by the phrase;
"and they lived happily ever after"

Yes, the classic ending of EVERY Disney production.
It just made me wanna believe in true love!!! *plaster a stupid smile on my face* Lol~~

Btw, I find one scene extremely "unique"? (I can't find the words to match my thoughts)
It's this one scene, where Giselle, the "princess",
touches her "saviour" on his chest.
And she just stared blankly at him.
There was a moment of silence where they both don't say a thing, and then the guy left.

Now, if you're thinking what I'm thinking,
you know that this scene is so-not-suitable for children.
(thus I strongly advice parental guidance throughout the movies for kids!
Oh no..I sound like a real conventional "aunty" *sigh*)

BUT what I said is true. Parental guidance is NEEDED for this movie.
Because during the movie, a father and his little girl sat next to me.
And during the climax of the movie, I heard the girl asking her daddy,
"Why is she crying?" (she = Giselle)

Thus, it comes to show that this movie is more of a chick-flick,
rather than a kiddies show, because children won't be able to fully understand what's going on.

SO,
If you haven't watch the movie, GO watch it!!
If you're a guy, it's best to watch it with a girl (maybe ur gf, or ur crush)
If you're a girl, watch it with ur bf,
But if u don't have one; like me,
just grab ur girlfriends and enjoy the movie with caramel popcorn!

oh..and I got a hair cut @ APT, Bkt Tinggi, directly after the movie^^

Incovar~~

Now, let's talk about Incovar.

Incovar actually stands for INter COllege VARsity.
It's actually a dhamma camp for students, and since I am a member of IMU's Buddhist Society, I was introduced to it.

Lo and behold, *poof*
I was there at the camp!

Lol~ I'm just joking ;p Anyways, the camp was held RIGHT after my physiology exam.
Camp details:

Venue: Klang Coast Buddhist Association (KCBA)
Date: 29th November - 2nd December 2007

Yup, just by looking at the date, you'll know that I celebrated my birthday there ;p
And I was told by one of the organizing committee that I'm the first girl he knew who celebrated her 21st birthday in an INCOVAR camp.

(if you don't know my birthday.....
make a guess, it's one of these four days stated above;
which means you have a 25% of guessing it correctly!!! LOL^^)

Anyways, the camp was okay, minus the hard cement floor as my bed (that's why I had to get my mum to bring me a sleeping bag on the second night..*yes, I know I am pampered =)*

Learned a few stuff during the camp,
> Being mindful (ya, lately this word keeps appearing in my vocabulary list)
> spreading Metta (loving kindness^^)
and,
I met lots of new people as well =)

Group Pic^^

November and December babies~~~

ME, chin yeong and the puzzle of the day^^

Well, after four days of vegetarian food...


We (IMU students and also other participants and committee members of the camp) headed off to the nearest Bah Kut Teh stall in Klang which was still opened at night ~~> Pandamaran.

Yummy Bah Kut Teh~~~ *tempting ain't it?*

The group picture of the meat-eating people that night^^

Yup, more than 30 of us went to savour delicious pork meat at the small stall.
The "aunty" must have been very happy to see so many of us;
cause the more people eating means the more to"untung" ~~

Ohh...i ALMOST forgot about the MOST entertaining "Clap of the year"!!!!

It's called "tepuk yeoh-ah-yeoh" (it's in hokkien and can be translated directly to "The shake shake Clap" LOL~~)

it goes,
*clap clap* yeoh-ah-yeoh,
*clap clap* yeoh-ah-yeoh ,
*clap clap* yeoh-ah-yeoh- ah-yeoh- ah-yeoh!!!!

(okay, it may sound weird here, but when it's said by more than 60 energetic participants, it ROCKS~~~ )

My FIRST post this December.

I realized that I've been mia (missing in action) for the past week. LoL~~
(yes, I have been wanting to blog for days, yet my somehow I just couldn't force myself to do it)

So, time for some serious updates as what Miss Wen Yi has been doing after her Physiology paper ;p

First off, would be about the Physiology paper itself. I had initially thought that my preparations at home were sufficient enough to pass the paper. However, the truth hit me right on my face when I was back at my uni's apartment.

My house mates were EVEN more well prepared than I was.
When they asked one another some "simple" questions, I was totally LOST~ @.@

Thus, I panicked. (ya, I think I have a tiny little bit of "kiasu-ism" stuck within me)
So, I decided to read my notes AGAIN; right from PAGE 1!!!!
And there I was trying to cram every single little details given inside my mind till 3am (or was it 4am??? @.@ while the rest of my house mates went to sleep)

Thankfully, I think I did my best and will pass the paper; but without flying colours = =
(I got a feeling that my marks for this semester won't be as well as the first semester *sigh* my results for Bioscience is out, and guess what? It's lower than previous sem's marks *double sigh*)

Oh well, back to happy stuff. I went out to times square (and not forgetting sungai wang) for some quality time^^

My house mates and I went shopping for my birthday present and they got me a little black dress which I wore twice already (because it's soo nice^^) and a knee-length jean pants.

Posing @ Gasoline in Times Square (the rice there is rather bland, but the noodles are good. AND most importantly, big thumbs up for their deco^^)

Next off we headed to The Curve with ChiaHui and met up with Devi's "gang" ;p
We ate at some chinese restaurant opposite Fridays.
It served food which is RIDICULOUSLY expensive = =
One plate of fried rice cost Rm10.90 (if I remember correctly) *annoyed*
But since I am a big eater, and was getting hungry, I had to order it = =''

After the exorbitantly priced meal, we all switched to Fridays where all of them celebrated both my birthday and Raj's.

Raj and I being forced to sing into a make-believe-microphone i.e the ketchup bottles in our hands. In the end, we sang Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls while Raj grooved to it. Lol^^
(Friday's Staff are hilarious *esp the guy with the gleaming eyes*)

The girls who were out at Fridays^^

Then, the five girls left and headed into The Curve and snapped away~~

What snap???

Snap pictures lah~~ what else?? Lol^^

We only took pictures because the decorations were so pretty!!! ;p

There, proof of fancy lights^^ (i LOVE neon blue lights~~~)

There are ten people in this pic, can you see them?? Lol^^

More fancy decorations^^

Nyam~~ Snowflakes taste good ;p

After all the photo taking, we went back to the apartment and took more photos~
Well, here's one of them^^
(chin yeong went to bathe so she was missing~~ lol)

And to wrap up this post, let's have a "cute" picture of me^^

I am going off again~

I have been spending most of my time sitting at home,
reading my physiology, and during night time I would usually be

> Facebook-ing
> Human Pet-ting
> Msn-ing

Yup, the standard things I do when I am on the net.

Anyways, something happened recently.
It made me happy for a few days, but now I am feeling oh-so-sad. = =
I think I have been going around telling almost everyone I know on msn, that I had a crush.
*yes, u read right. I had a crush.*

It was the feeling which I haven't felt of almost a year.
And it was all good, when I got paranoid and got depressed over some small issues. = =
Don't ask why. I just needed to vent out my feelings.
And I think during this process I made the other party sad as well. = =

Well, let's digress from that.
And talk on MORE depressing issues, such as my coming exam paper.....
>>>> PHYSIOLOGY

It's so depressing that although I managed to finish reading the notes given,
I failed to MEMORIZE the points. = =
Thus, what I have left in my mind is just some hazy picture of the body systems we've learned. *grrrrr*

Oh well, I've never been good with memorizing stuff anyway.. lol^^

Back to my title, I will be gone for a week I think.
I'll be working this weekend @ Jusco, Bukit Tinggi~~
Hehe^^ a friend of mine managed to get me a job as a promoter.
SO come this weekend, I will be a promoter again.
(But I don't have a proper pair of black pants or black shoes for that matter.
So I'll most likely borrow some black pants, and some black shoes from my brother or my dad...*baggy clothings, again*)

And next Tues, I will be sitting for my Physiology paper.
And next Thurs, I shall be off to INCOVAR, a buddhist youth camp till the 2nd of December~

So, I SHALL stay away from the internet once again.

And,
I shall prevail~~~ LOL ^^

(I still remember my promise to wear the newly bought clothes, but then it seems like the "camera-loving" me has been dormant.
And, I blame long hours of stressful Physiology-reading on her disappearance.
Thus, come post-Physiology-exam day, she shall set lose on a photo-shooting spree~~~ :p)

Jusco Klang~~

Whee~~ I got back home (klang) last night^^ hehe^^ and me, the human pet addict, ended up playing with my laptop till almost 2 am, or was it 3 am...haha~~~

Anyways, the great news of the day is that THE LARGEST JUSCO in South-east asia will be opening in Bkt Tinggi KLANG on the 24th!!! WOOT~~
Hehe^^ a friend gave me a link which showed a few preview of the soon-to-open mall! To see the pictures click THIS.

There's gonna be a Green Box Karaoke opening!!!
So is KimGary!!!

I'm soo excited~~

Now, though Malaysia maybe be erm, a less than ideal country to some people (all the "illegal peaceful and not-so-peaceful gatherings, the biased laws, etc...) it IS still my home.

The nation that has kept my safe and sound for my 20 years(nearing 21 years -_-'') of life on earth. The land of Malaysia by itself is just beautiful. Add in the government, and I think the pretty picture is somewhat blurred.

Oh well, no matter what happens to the government (politics just aren't my cup of tea...I get lost trying to remember the name of all the Ministers -_-'')
I will still be a Malaysian, won't I?? lol^^

Now, on some reasons why I like Malaysia??

>>>>


>>>

*jeng jeng jeng* Cheap clothes^^


Hehe^^ I know all of you can count, so I'm gonna let you guess how much these clothes cost???

There are 5 Spaghetti tops (yellow, white, black, green stripes and orange stripes)
4 blouse (orange, green, pink and white)

Got it??

Well, here's a hint.
I bought it from a promotion in an open shop in Summit, Subang.
The promotion was called, the Kilo Sales.

One Kilo of clothes is only RM 15!!!!

And the 9 tops I bought = RM10.95

Muahahaha *evil laughter*

Just calculate, and you'll find that each top is less than RM1.50^^
where else can u buy clothes as cheap as that??

Now, I didn't upload any pictures of me wearing those clothes for a few reasons:

1. I have a spare tyre around my tummy due to excessive Facebook-ing *sigh*

2. The clothes are extremely dirty. They are dusty and err...dirty???

Oh well...knowing that I love to take pictures (no, please don't call me a cam-whore though I "act" as one, simple because I don't like the word whore..lol^^)
I know I will be taking pictures wearing those clothes really soon^^

Malaysia~~

this post has been removed *yala..u know why, I know why, cukup lah~*

Movies~ Movies~

I've watched two movies in the cinema in the past two days. One different movie for each day, at a different location, but with the same people; my housemates^^

On Monday, after our English and Malay language written test,
we headed off to MidValley!! Whee~~

We watched "Shoot Em' Up".


It was a pretty cool movie. Extremely entertaining. LoL^^
After watching the movie, I conclude that--->
Carrots are not only good for health, but it's also multipurpose.
You can use it to poke enemies, and gorge their eyes out.
You can see a carrot to pull a trigger, etc...

However, the sad thing is that quite a number of scenes were censored, due to excessive boob-flashing. Oh well~ it is Malaysia after all, it'll be years later before we get to see a naked woman running around on the screens.

Then, yesterday (Tuesday) we watched Stardust^^
Stardust is just great~
It's a fairy tale, which is sooo entertaining.
It has romance, action, and lots of comedy^^

Michelle Pfiefer rocks! SO did Robert de Niro!!!!
I love them soo sooo much~~
And the love story is soo sweet that it makes you melt inside^^ (awww~)

Oh....about the 650 pounds that I'm gonna get from JPA. (in case you didn't know, I'm a JPA scholar i.e my education is fully sponsored by the government. No. I'm not a smart-ass. I'm just lucky.)

Anyways, the allowance in Scotland might change, due to some policy between IMU and Strathclyde Univeristy in Scotland. (it's a long story which I refuse to tell = =)
So, i'll have to retain my excitement for 2009 (which is when I'll be flying to Scotland. Yup, it's still a long way to go.....)

muahahaha *evil laughter*

I am SOOOO EXCITED~~~

I'll be going China in Decemeber^^
but only visiting the Fujian Province...
haha^^ 8d7n trip^^

and the BETTER NEWS is~~~

i'm gonna get 650 pounds when i get to scotland!!!

lalala^^
so excited!

but i'll hv to pay for my own accomodation then.
hopefully accommodation is cheap,
if NOT,
I'll most likely find a downtown place and save money to travel~~~

whee~~

football

Everytime i watch football, it's bound to be with my parents, either at home, but usually it's in mamak stalls...lol...

they hv the big screen, and most importantly, the atmosphere~~

i dont really fancy football, and i am not a fan of any clubs...haha^^
but at least i do know wat an offside is...lol....

and today's match, ManU vs Arsenal, was nice^^
esp the last goal by Arsenal...everyone laughed when one of the Arsenal players missed the ball..lol...

any may i say ronaldo looks good~~ whee~~~

I'm an addict..lmao~

Yes. I have repeated in my blog oh-so-many times that I am an addict to Facebook or more specifically Human Pets.

The scariest time was when my housemates were watching some TVB drama till 4am, while I alone was smiling to the laptop screen, Human Petting = =

Thus, I have came upon the resolution to NOT touch Facebook or Human Pets.
My psychological dependence on Human Pets have reached a level which it does more harm than good to myself!!!!!

Now, how did I realize this fact??

from my EYE BAGS~~~ panda eyes = =

I've been sleeping late at nights, and so my panda eyes seem to become a permanent part of me*sigh*

Not only that, my sinus problem in the mornings seem to have gotten worse; I use more tissue then ever!!! = = ''

And, I have been neglecting everything around me!!!
I neglected:

1. My studies
- thankfully I'm done with statistics, and now I'm only left with my 3000 word essay on Drug Misuse, and also the end of semester exam on physiology. If not i'll be a total mess...lol XD

2. My health
- as mentioned above, eye bags, sinus, lac of concentration due to laack of sleep..lmao^^

3. My downloading spree
- yes, I haven't been downloading stuff lately. The latest movies and animes are downloaded by my dad and bros. = = I wanna download........

4. My BLOG!!
- look, it's beeeenn waaayyy too long since i last blogged..someone should tag me to take more pics of myself...lmao XD

Okies, anyways, last weekend I went to a rather famous temple in Jenjarum.
It's called Dong Chang Shi~

So here are some pics^^

Me and a big big bell~

Chin Yeong and I

Yup, i look like a lesbian in this pic, don't ask why. lmao~

Group Pics^^
Me and a lovely pond in the background^^

Me, again^^, with a mini monk~~

Also, on the very same day after I went to the temple, me and my housemates went for a "dinner" at Bukit Jalil Stadium organised by MCA. (compliments of Chin Yeong's dad^^ Thanks~)

Anyways, the place was packed! 2000 tables in a stadium!! Imagine how many ppl were there! tens of thousands!!! Oh well, food was considered good, considering that the restaurant had to cater to the mouths' of soooo many ppl =)

So, more pictures~~~

From left to right: PohYee, Renly, ChinYeong and I^^


Me^^ ( I insisted on taking on the RED carpet...lmao^^ can someone help me photoshop away those ppl in the background?? lolXD )

And this last pic, was taken with news reporters from 8tv. The guy in White is soo good-looking in person! (I forgot his name = =)

Anyways, it was such a funny incident on how we literally stalked them, all the way from the stage, and asked them to take a photo with us..lmao...all because of the handsome guy in white^^
