ShoPPinG

For this weekend , it is no other than shopping .. real shopping ~ not window shopping ( since next week , study week - PT1 )... walked until i tired .... On Saturday morning , there was less people - so fitting rooms are available .. but as soon it reaches afternoon , it started to jam pack - long queue ...=.= ( especially those with discounts - affordable price ) ... even the Branded shops also quite pack ...

1st day - Mid Valley
2nd day - Sunway Pyramid

we , consumers are the drive to economy boost ... buy more , spend more !! ( with budget of course )

here are the price tags that i kept for the past few years .. become my collection - ( can be used as bookmark )




my top listed brands - TopMan
- Romp ( stop visiting the shop after a few times wear the same clothes - too common !!)
- Rufffey ID
-Sub+ SubZero
- Wild Channel

As usual , my dad asks me bear in mind - no DARK SHIRTS ( - black ) .... more RED ( - more luck ) .. the normal tradition during CNY ...wear as red as possible ~ ...try to get brighter colour shirts ...





A lot of events went on in MV n Pyramid - Lion Dance especially ... there is an education exhibition in MV ... Feels like back to after-SPM students getting info for different colleges ( while walking inside ) .. the most crowded boothes in the exhibition hall - Taylor & Sunway College ...

Penalty

when i see that drivers are not following rules , students are not following instruction , i will think who is at disadvantage . is it the wrongdoers or the one imposing the penalty will gain ?

Rules are actually set for our own good ... but yet we break the rules ... maybe the logic behind this might be the "bad things " sometimes make us feel better ... the " feeling " > considering the disadvantage of it ..



thus , they play around with monetary $ to stop us from breach the rules ... $ may be important element for most of the people ( excluded the rich ) thus , they may act according to $ ... the rich however may however use $ to "play" with the rules ... thus the rich always the winner in Malaysia especially ..

my lecturer says , we attend class for our own good . it is "us " who will go for the exam , not the lecturers .. they just perform their duties of teaching us ...sometimes they may talk out of syllabus - about studying , just to make us realise the importance of self-study ( the few minutes - may embedded in us forever ) ...

NeW

When we experience something new for the first time , we may have not adapt to it ..



something new - feels good ..haha .. we , human learns to adapt to different situation - or else how does we survive in harsh environment in the past , without the daily necessities by our fingertips ...

but does that mean old things have to dispose off ? no no .. some of them really mean a lot to us - the memories / utilisation / once before being "new" ... thus , i keep a lot of old stuffs in my drawer - even my secondary school painting ( alhtough a bit so-so , it brings back the experience when i paint it with my friends - how we laugh at each other painting ) ... but some really have to dispose off - to prevent piling up

new stuffs are usually better than old of course ... but usually to obtain new stuffs ( beneficial ) , there is $$ out ( detriment ) .. so have to weigh the cost vs benefit careful while consideration whether to change to something new ...



quite satisfy with my new hp - 5530 nokia expressmusic .. the function suits me , wide screen , touchscreen , no GPS ( since i have the GPS- Garmin itself so not necessary ) , no 3G ( never use video convo with my friends / family before - even though i have it in my old phone ) .... the speaker really louds - now i can blast the song even in the toilet (+echo) ..haha .. WIFI - very useful for Facebooking ( spend less time than Facebooking in PC - prevent addiction ..haha )

have to sacrifice my G900 - blackscreen / lagging ... the IC board inside spoilt - LCD screen not functioning which require rm 200+ for repairing. . just get new one to prevent recurring problem arising ...

FooD Conscious

Now , everytime i eat, i set something on my mind - high protein food ..

since i havent start to try the protein powder supplement , i try with egg whites first ... roughly , 1gram of weight = 1 gram of protein ..

for the max gain , the best is to consume egg whites directly -45mins after workout to enable the muscle to build up ... got a buddy who also keen in gym as me - start gym around the same time as me and also as thin as me ..

we can all start gym at 18-25 years old as it is the best time to build muscle .. and also , min 3 times a week .. there are a lot people who are underweight .. these people which include me need to go for gym + protein ...

going for gym actually makes me to read more about how our body works , what the best exercises for each part of body ... need to sleep more to let muscle rests .. which will make me sleep early for next class ( after gym workout - tired ) ...

actually there are a lot debates going on - protein food / protein supplement ?
my trainer recommends me high protein food as our body is not designed for protein powder .. of course the powder will be easier to be absorbed .... ,but for price comparison , the powder is a lot more expensive ... if you can eat high-protein food three times a day ( have the time to cook ) then , it is advisable to go for food ... but for me - extreme skinny , i should start with powder ..

set an aim if go for gym - if not slowly you will lose the interest to travel to the gym centre ...

Branded

In college , simply look around .. you will notice a lot of branded stuffs - especially Nike ( even im wearing it )



for me , a pairs of shoe which costs a little bit more - but more durable and comfortable will be fine to me ... rather than go pasar malam and get a shoe which spoil the following month .. of course , the design / sign ( Nike ) makes a lot of difference when you wear it ... my previous pair of shoes - rm 400 - useful life 3years ( rm o.36 per day - reasonable ^^)



in Sunway College , there are a few girls who manage to buy LV bags .... which seems unnecessary for their age ... rm 2 - 4k for a bag is just too much for a student ... it may also attract the thief ... IPhone still acceptable although it costs rm 3k ... since it is really useful for our age !! LV bags - just to dump all the stuffs in =.= ... even the recycable bag will do ...



when you drive CLK -Mercedes to college , everybody will be like "WoW !! " then i will say the kid is lucky - since his/her parent has the additional money to buy so expensive car for the kid ..

our college is also Branded !! with the Platinum status for ACCA ... if lecturer wise , my friend advises me to go MacOrange ( not branded ) but according to him , better lecturers ..

frankly speaking , who dont want to go for branded stuffs , if they can afford it ... this is what we call - egoism needs .. which improve self-esteem .. those that dont spend on branded stuffs (for rich ) , of course there will be other things that they think better than branded stuffs ..

Changes

After i had my 1 month holiday , there are a lot of changes in my college - Sunway College.

• new 12-storey building proposal - 2013 ( i have completed my course anyway)
  
• indoor sport arena -2013
  
• newly renovated library and toilet
• new courses
  
• new fees !! ( higher of course )
• new ACCA books !! ( thicker of course )
• new students !! ( younger of course ..hehe )

recently i just change to new Group 3 as the timetable looks more favourable for my gym routine ( more time for other activites ) .. supposingly i want to choose G1 but it seems quite crowded ...anyway, any group will be fine to me - with my gang around and same lecturers ..

my friend does recommend Group 4 - Miss joyce f6 lecturer - quite experience and good lecturer ... but currently my f6 - miss rozi seems ok also .. so i dont find any reason to go for Miss Joyce .. i may go and get her additional notes and make comparison .. i also have other college friends ( also taking ACCA - SEGI college , Mac Orange ) - thus i can get their notes as well ..



just realise something , Sunway TES lecturing method is quite spoon-fed .. compared to other colleges in UK .. so my lecturer slowly tries to teach us to be independent in learning ... then it will get easier for Professional papers ..

GoldFish

everytime i have the poker cards ... i will play this game - Goldfish ..

very interesting game which trains ur memory and strategy ... the way you show your emotion will tell other people what cards u have ( in the same way , you can use the emotion to con people )

this is a simple briefing of the game ;-

• everyone has 5 cards
• when it is the person -A turn , he will ask people what card he want ( only can ask a card that he is currently holding )
• he the person he asked - B , has the card - B will give the cards / if B doesnt have the cards - A has to draw a card from the deck ..
• those that has 1 set - 4 cards of same type , then he /she has to put out ..
  

simple right .. to win the game , the one holding the most set will win the game ..

GuiLiN Trip

SunSet ~~
Fake statue ~~ but so real ..
my mum ~~ like my sister ..
waterfall hotel !!! dam nice ..

very cool picture !! the light , the emotion , the people make it perfect !!
our bus ~~ quite modern .. .watch tv while waiting to reach destination
so cold !!! first day of arrival


get out of the busy city of KL for 8days really enlighten me towards new knowledge and experience ..

not only that, with new friends that i made there , really reallllyyy make the trip more fun ... unfortunately my dad and my 2nd bro cant go ...

eat like a horse everyday -

• buffet for breakfast
• lunch / dinner - 7-8 dishes + soup + fruits
  

my table has 8 people only but we manage to clear 80% of the food ...

beautiful view of guilin in the morning as well at night ... capture most of the moments in my bro's camera ... even at night , the photos are splendid ..

the best out of all is the performance by the china people !!!! forget what the name of the performance - around 1k+ people performing in the sea .... very nice ( i used video cam to record .. may burn into DVD soon ) ... the acrobatic show is another MUST WATCH in guilin ... flying here and there , performing dangerous move .. mistake may cost their life ...

the first time i experience hot spring at 35 - 40 degree celsius ... the first time i step into the water ( hotter - 40 + degree ) , it almost boil my eggs =.= ... then i tried the other 1 which is better ... half-naked in the hot spring , i know James , Shinn and Zhi Yang .. Zhi really look like Rain - the korean singer ... with muscular body + casanova .. have fun time with them .. we

• play cards at night .. they teach me SHITHEAD ( UK game ) , goldfish- good memory game ...
  
• walk around the hotel
• went for GYM with them
• watch funny movie - How I Met your Mother , Eurotrip ..

and everyday we get the chance to drink beer which is cheaper that soft drink .. my friend even has Champagne ... the hotel they provide ( by RELIANCE tour ) really nice especially the last day 1 - Sheraton hotel .. i tried 4-5 different hotels ... i like to stay in hotel but dont like to pack every morning to change hotel the next day

the weather there quite cold - winter 3 - 10 degree celsius ... first time i experience this coldness .. and i wore like 3-4 pieces of clothes ... has to wear glove ( very important during winter ) or else ur hand will freeze out ....

toilet in china thumb down .. no door + smelly + hard to find ... so we dont drink much water there...

luckily i learn how to speak the normal Mandarin language while in Sunway college ... it really helps in this type of country where English is like alien language ... if i stay longer , i may learn their accent too

first time experience foot massage by chinese girl .. chat with them make me realise something .. life there is difficult .. they earn around 300 only per month ... how to survive .. thus they really on the tips given by the customer ... they are a lot of young kids asking people to buy roses .. even around 4years old , they start chasing people to sell the flowers .. they are like brainwashed completely - repeating the same sentence again and again ... even i say " NO " they still pulling my jacket all the way to my hotel =.= ... if i really buy , more people will chase after me .. they are a lot old people selling fruits and souvenir ... their method really wrong - seems like forcing people to buy the things ~~

overall the trip is wonderful ... occupied 30 % of my holiday .. the remaining 1 i spend with my friends , sports , dinner with them , and others ..
