A blog about~
This blog entry shall be about someone..
Someone who is simply so amazing. Someone who leaves me in awe each time I think about him, and sometimes when I see him.
He does not know how much he already is, and how much more he can be whatever or whoever he wants to be.
We go through both smooth and rough patches in our lives, especially so at this age. Everything seems to be a turning point, so much so that we turn so many times we might just be going around in circles. I hope we are not. Even so, each time we tread the path, it would be a different experience altogether. We build our strength each time we feel weak. We learn the mistakes we make. Hopefully, one day, someday, we will achieve what we set for ourselves to be.
If only things seemed so simple, easy and manageable as they once were. Sadly, reality is not so. We have to embrace what we face, and pick up the pace. Keep things in perspective. Keep it simple. Have faith, or have contingencies.
I worried for him the other day, and I prayed that things will be sorted and better quickly. I definitely have faith in him. It's just that sometimes, you want to make it all better faster. You feel feeble when you do not know what to do, and fear if what you try to do will only make things worse.
I went through his blog very late that night. Every single post from the inception of the blog. It made me so proud of who he is and who he wants to be. There is no doubt that he has changed since I met him (though I cannot say if it is for better or for worse!). I know that person he was made him to who he is today. I am proud of this person *Oops, I said it again.*
People change over time, and you simply grow to love those changes.
To him: Stay cool, stay hot~ Be who you want to be, because you can. Be who you are, because.........it's you.

Cakey!
=D
My housemate decided to go on a baking frenzy one fine day earlier this week. Naturally, I joined in as well and we had an amazing time - both making and enjoying!
Last night, I was in the mood of cooking or making something edible! I decided on whatever basic ingredients I had - as my craving was not planned - and made orange butter cake, complete with frosting!! Of course, miss housemate helped too.
Today, another housemate made a cake. His own creation of what we called Kase Mousse yoghurt Cake, simply because had cheese, was mousse-like in texture with a tinge of yoghurt! *YuM* Am very impressed of what this guy can create - and make it turn out sooooo good!

Christmas Season weekend
Yes ppl, it's the 1st of December. Commercially, Christmas season has started a month or more ago, but it is only today that the frenzy got flagged off. Yet, here I am writing an entry instead of doing the things I want to do! The weather is gloomy, gray and semi-humid chilly. I had planned to go cycling, and then to town, and then to places. Sadly, I cannot do those now because it might just drizzle any time. It wouldn't pour. Nope, by the little 'experience' I have from Welsh weather, it would just drizzle...and for a long time, if it does. Or, it might not at all! But the risk seems too high to take. I saw a rainbow from my window as well - my window needs serious cleaning. Since I cannot do it due to some weird design of this place, the management better pull their act together! (hehe, it has started to drizzle). Speaking of the word drizzle, it makes me think of viscous rich chocolatey rum/brandy dripping from a spatula! OoohLaLaa..
Ah, and I baked last night! at 22:30!! Haha. Only finished up close to midnight! It was interspersed with frosting making and card playing. Gosh, i wish L~ would half-love baking so we could do it together. It's so much fun!
In future, I shall have an amazing kitchen for me to admire~!..and put to function during one of these moments. =D
Lurrrveeeee.......ShuLy!
The trees were illuminated by the invincible sun..
And half hour later, HAIL!
And one more random pixxie during a chilly cool morning sunrise..

To err......
To err, is human..
I was skimming through photos of friends, ...old friends. Seems ancient years ago that we last met or spoke, but occasionally, the feeling of being up close and personal becomes so real, and surreal.
Again, thoughts of what might have been crept up silently (not so anymore). How different things would have been now. We have changed so much, yet there are things which remain the same. I hope that the warmth and love that radiated then still continues, like a burning coal once, though now only glowing and creating crackles of serenity, being cozy, snuggly, finger tips grazing finger tips,the sensation created during skin to skin contact, and the almost locking of lips. Just the mere presence changed the aura; the lesser the distance apart, the stronger the will need to be to keep in control..
Reality can turn out different from what you want it to be. But it is moments like these which raise your hopes and make you dream even more. Despite the questioning of 'what could have been', it is a good memory to recollect, even if the moment has long passed..
Afterall, as cheesy or corny as it sounds;
Life is not about the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..

STOMP!
Yes...
We went to STOMP! at the Millennium Centre, Cardiff!
no no, we didn't stomp the place down...but STOMP!, the 'performance'. It wasn't a musical, neither was it a play. and i can't be bothered to think about the apt description or category it would be.
We went in quite a big group, and many thanks to Nishal who did a great job! Some of us enjoyed it, some of us had a good time and some of us weren't too happy with it.
I would stand in the middle.
But one thing i know for sure is that, it made me thinking of the musical I watched before this...for the first time, quite some time ago, with a person, at a young, tender age of a beginning...
There are, of course, more stuff which i would like to blog about. But I think I shall keep these feelings to myself. *_*

POWER!
The power of WOMEN
The power of BRANDING
The power of ADVERTISING
Seriously, these 3 factors make the economy, future, profits, social status and almost anything you can relate to.
Guys and gals alike are prone to branding. Women, are the purchasing power. Besides their own economy, they influence their husbands' economy too!

Racism - typical of saying one thing, displaying another
Excerpt from The Star Online
Tabung Haji rapped for using non-bumi company
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth executive council member Datuk Azimi Daim hit out at Tabung Haji for engaging a non-bumiputra company to supply mineral water for free to delegates and guests at the Umno general assembly.
Azimi queried the rationale for engaging a non-bumi company when all the investors in Tabung Haji are Muslims.
“Don’t tell me there is no single Malay company that is capable of sourcing mineral water. Even I can dig a well, and collect mineral water,” he said when debating the Umno president's policy speech on Wednesday.
Azimi pointed out that Tabung Haji’s move to engage a non-bumiputra company to supply easily available product like water, was not in line with party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s call to GLCs to jointly shoulder the responsibility to develop the bumiputra commercial and industrial community.
....
He quoted the prime minister, who told Malaysians to see themselves are Malaysians - not according to races. I wonder if the prime minister would address this...or just let it be - AGAIN.
ACT!
Going against or disagreeing with one another, even if both are in the same party is a courageous thing to do, especially with the political system back home. This is not a retaliation from me, but rather, something that I think can be built and improved upon. There are thousands of members in a party. and I am sure that saying everyone agree with each other in suggestions/opinions would be a LIE. Having differences is not a bad thing! with differences, you can hear each other out, and come to a consensus!
Just because the powerful few says this and that doesn't mean that they are right all the time! listen to yourself, listen to the people who have put their trust in you - listen to them..and THINK ! THINK THINK THINK!
And don't simply quote the 'powerful' people to support your statements-lah. If they are sound enough, they will resonate on their own.
and those powerful ppl being quoted, don't simply let others use your quotes or ideas inappropriately lah.
blergh

Some people I tell you....
Think as Malaysians! - says our beloved PM ; and not Malays, Chinese or Indians.
Good idea worr.... all of us should applaud that, and you do that too okay? and treat us ALL as MALAYSIANS and not M, C or I. otherwise, all talk-talk only..again.
Ah, and yet again, the issue on hygiene, cleanliness and hospital infections have come to play, raised by the media.
People scrutinize, criticize, blame and hold hospital staff responsible for the contamination, spread of infection and conditions in the hospital. It is to a certain extent that hospitals ought to be cleaner and more stringent to keep the spread of infections at bay. Everyone should know, or be told, that a hospital's environment is a whole new biological field altogether, as opposed to the 'outside' world. It's a congregation of SICK people (or bodies) of various aetiologies (causes). So, what d'ya expect?!?
People do need treatment and to get better. It is unfortunate that you might just end up with something more complicated than what you got admitted for. But some people would only know how to complain.
DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU GOT ADMITTED DUE TO:
- driving under influence and crashed
- emphysema/lung cancer/asthma because you smoked 40 cigs a day for the past 30 years
- alcohol abuse of more than 30 units a week and so having a multitude of problems such as cirrhosis
- obesity due to unhealthy diet and sedimentary lifestyle thus having 1001 problems again
- previous heart problems and still smoking, drinking excessively & not watching your diet
- refusal to take medication as advised
YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF IN THE SITUATION WHERE YOU ASKED TO BE ADMITTED!
The medical education emphasizes a lot on patients these days. Patients should know all these and be more appreciative. What are the benefits if we don't treat you properly?!?! Our salary is fixed by the NHS. Instead, our reputation is at stake if we are not at our best (in case we work privately too). We have so many books and journals and papers written on how we can be better doctors.
But hey, people out there, doctors included, read those few books out on how to be a good patient!!! (reason why doctors have to read: to refute all the nonsense that some authors write in them)
What is going on with the world these days?
Obesity is not the fault of people?!
Smoking is a disease, not addiction?!
A Nobel Prize winner in one of the greatest discoveries of science and medicine is an arrogant fool?
Lawyers suing airline companies for the risk of thrombosis? Yeah, they might be helping these people, but are these people fools? Perhaps a consent form must be signed explaining risks and complications before anything is done, be it - eating at McD, going for a cycle, attending class (for possible uneventful learning)..etc.
Yeah, and guess what, with all these legal formalities going on so commonly, no wonder that everyone wants to be a lawyer!
People are all selfish. The videotape case back home has seen no/little results published in the media. Two possibilities - stagnant case (as many others) or media is 'controlled' or BOTH!

The past..the funny, and sweet past..
This was meant to be another blog's so-called 'theme' song..
but I didn't manage to put it up...and can't do so at the moment.
So here it is.

To you..
This, is for my friends out there...
and especially, to my darling Luke..
:)
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today and then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more

Challenging thyself
What do you think that will challenge your wits and willpower the most?
I think mine would be being a....
VEGETARIAN!!!! *gasp*
it's the 9 emperor gods festival..that's why.
but i'm taking part in cardiff's half marathon this sunday!! how will i survive?!?!?!?
I tried before being a vegetarian back in college. My first trial. But it only lasted 3-4 days. :(
How ah?

Why weekends are against me.
Sunday..is both a day of joy and sorrow. It means that Monday is tomorrow (obviously) and it's back to placements/lectures/clinicals/GP/skills.. But it is also good because it's a rest day.
I always look forward for the weekend. It is tough to go on and on non-stop, more so since there are not many religious breaks in between term time in UK, unlike Malaysia. I do not know when is the Queen's birthday, but 2 years that I've been here, I don't think it's during term time, or if it is, there wasn't a holiday.
I really had look forward to this weekend especially. A long 5 days worth of medical school in a week, you just want more time to spend on yourself, and what you want to do. Sadly, this has not been the case. I am tired when I wake up. I am sad when I go to bed. And during the daytime, I can't do the things I wish I could do, because it involves another person who has his own plans, and I am not in the picture..sadly. I always think that perhaps I should not rely so much on a single person to spend my time with. Because if the other person doesn't seem to be there much of the time, you'll just feel down.
I have also come to realise that these are my ideals. Ideals that would make me happy. Ideals that will bring much joy and happiness to my life. So I should be steadfast in what I believe in, and not be in doubt.
Between 2, sometimes, it's not really a compromise because it's not 100% mutual. It's more like a give and take. The differences are not blended together. They are still present, just that you close an eye, hold your mouth and swallow the bitterness of it all. But what's the point in being bitter? I still believe strongly that there is someone for everyone out there (should they choose to have another in their life) which fits like the key and lock theory for enzymes.
If it is 'right', then things should fit in nicely, like puzzle pieces falling into place.

A Song-Night
GREAT SINGER, GREAT SONG...and i wanna go Dubaiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this is for Wei Kang. If there is anyone who can appreciate it, I think it would be him. :) Here's to you kang-kang
Father and Son:
Father
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now
and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
Father

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Son
All the times that I cried
keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
but it's them THEY know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

an article in theStar today mentioned about sex in the golden years! So, I feel like asking amongst my dear dear friends.. =P
1. Until what age do you want to maintain healthy sex life?
2. Until what age do you think you can maintain a healthy sex life?
3. as doctors, or pharmacists, would you look at >55y/o patients 'one kind' when they come in to get sex-related medication/lubricants/etc?

Clickaty Clack
I should be a typist. I should find a job as a typist. Or a note taker for some kinda proceeding. I type a lot of words in a minute. I can type without looking at the keyboard. I can type to see if the words are spelt right or wrong and automatically correct them.
I type a lot of nonsense and I do it good. Efficiently and consistently.
That would be in my CV if I applied for any clerical/typing job. :D

Sigh.
Cheesy, but oh so true. And apt with it, posted by a wonderful guy.
Find a guy, who calls you beautiful
instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on
him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you
sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your
forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his
friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly
reminding you of how much he cares
about you and how lucky he is to have
you.
Wait for the one who turns to his
friends and says, "...that's her."

I don't like how things are turning out to be. I don't see a solution in sight. It's as temperamental as moods and emotional swings can be. Uncontrollable. Unpredictable. To some, it would have spelled an end. My time has yet to come. But perhaps, it would be soon. Perhaps it should be soon.
I'm afraid to see that time.

Little feet..
EDIT:
1. it has always been in the news, saying that alcoholism or cigarette smoking is some kinda disease, that it's not something that the individual involved willingly partake. to those ppl, GET REAL! addiction is NOT a disease. Control yourselves! and start using ur brains!
2. For my Birthday/Anniversary/Wedding/Honeymoon/Special Occasions - (yeah, have to broaden it), I want to see the aurora borelis! *_*
_____________________________________________________________________________
Orthopaedics Week One has been really cool! I would say that I enjoyed myself way much better this week than the stupiak FCS that I had to endure for 2 weeks last year!
There is much more to come as there will be a total of 5 weeks for Ortho and Rheumatology. But a good start is..well, GOOD!
Also, this came across my mind as I was walking back, when a kid in a car smiled at me as it was passing by.--> i have considered paediatrics as a speciality. but i have also others in mind. orthopaedics included now! haha. but it's mostly male dominated unfortunately. hmm, come to think of it, not sure if it's exposure, but i have been rather 'attracted' to specialities such as orthopaedics, cardiology and neurology which are male dominated. Wonder if the attraction is the speciality or the latter mentioned. HAHA!!! But those were thoughts years ago. Anyway, back to present, yeah, the kid smiled at me and it crossed my mind to consider paediatrics. It's not too male dominated. To clear any potential misunderstanding, Shu Li doesn't really go "goo-goo-ga-ga" over kids! I find them human. Like all other Homo sapiens. But somehow, these fascinating little creatures seem to have some kinda attraction towards me! They run towards me, play with my white coat or whatever's on me, stare at me with their bright blue (or green or hazel) eyes with pink rosy cheeks and soft peach lips and ...smile! or GIGGLE! And i can't seem to brush them away. They keep following me around, peeking behind the curtains, or stomping their little feet, wobbling around finding for me - standing 4 metres away. Luckily, their parents have this perception (whatever that might be) of a hospital and take control! YAY!!
Then, I was thinking.. "oh no. I don't want my kids to run to me or yearn for my attnetion all the time when they're toddlers. I'll go 'shoo..go to ur dad/papa/father/daddy/whatever.'" But of course, I want them to love me more! :P haha!
ah well, whatever it is. I think paeds is alright. Fascinating biological creatures they are!
LoL - to whoever's reading. If in future I do specialise in paediatrics, don't take this blog entry too seriously k. :P

With a bit of pepper..
What a week it has been. Here I am, having so much to do, and yet I am here blogging. Don't know why I am doing this, but someone had made me feel awfully responsible to put up photos of my birthday party since he doesn't have an active friendster or facebook account.
I had wanted to blog about my party, just that I want to do in on my free time - which I find so little of it nowadays! My papers are scattered on the table, books astrewn - but untouched, and laundry piling up.
A lot of time is put into travelling to clinical places, and when I am back, tired, I had personal issues to resolve. I hope that the latter would smoothen out okay, and hopefully, better than before. I do not want either to be bogged down by anything. :(, and due to this, I am not really in the mood of blogging out the good time I had over the weekend.
But like I said, I have to duely publish this blog to put up pixxies of my 22nd birthday. And to merely publish photos without captions and a review would do the party, and more importantly, my dearest of friends whom I call family in Cardiff, no justice. SO HERE ARE A FEW OF THEM!
Thanks to everyone who had done so much for this day! The food were prepared exceptionally good and there was just enough! Not in excess, just perfect! I had great feedbacks and I think most, if not all, enjoyed the entire day. It was a lot of effort put in since it was a house party afterall. But I am really hoping that everyone enjoyed the process. I know I did - despite all the worries that things might not run smoothly!
Lots of thanks to my dearest darlin', who "surprised" me by coming at the stroke of midnight on Saturday! and whom presented my first bday gift! :P I miss you lots. Zijian, who just took the opportunity to come to Cardiff! To Amy and Ben, and all of the Flatties at Allensbank House!
Thanks for all the wonderful, beautiful and entertaining presents that y'all got me!
And yes, again, thanks for one great night and one of the best ever bday gatherings that I had. :) *muaks!*
I'm sorry I didn't manage to take photos of the food laid out - cuz I was doing last minute preparations and came out 5 mins late! ..everybody was there already and started eating before i could snap photos!
Also perhaps due to the large-ish crowd and limited space there were few photos taken. I really wish there were more camera ppl! :P i need to appoint a camera person whenever these gatherings occur.
Last but not least....AM HOPING FOR MORE ENJOYABLE TIMES AHEAD!

Technical
Oh, the technicalities of it all. It gives insurmountable joy, yet, such despair and agony. So much so that sometimes, all you want to do is just be platonic. The desire to chase for something, or someone, comes rather easily. But does it stop there? An achievement or desire reached. Moving on...?
I know I hadn't been too good in my previous stage of life. Little did I know, and I am terribly sorry until today. I can only hope to reconcile and be forgiven. I think after so many years, these would not be obtainable. Rather, it would be like letting sleeping dogs lie.
It's human. It's all about the dynamics of being a human. Like any other vessels - on a biological point of view. Ah, how complex. I do not think we are able to map this out at all.
On a slightly better note - for better or for worse,
I am taking part in Cardiff's Marathon!!!!! OMGGGGG rite?!???!!?! .... well, confirmation has not been received, but I have submitted my forms. Hope it arrives. It's rather expensive. But, there are some things in life where you do it for the chase.

The Heath
There will surely be things that people would not be content about, be it with themselves or with another. I have always mentioned that I always had bad luck, especially when it comes to academic-related things. Examples from last year is my Foundation Clinical Skills. This year, it would have to be my honourary lectures and GP placements. Why must mine be so far when other's are just a stone's throw away? You feel it more when most of the closest people around you have the better end.
But after so many years, despite all the rants, I have come to realise that there is nothing that can be changed. No, there isn't. Some things are meant to be seen in an optimistic way, even if you're always dumped towards the worser end. I would not stop myself from ranting, afterall, who would not want to get somewhere better, somewhere nearer and somewhere more convenient? With the time save, I would be able to study more, cook nicer food, rest better and be happier! Is this not what the NHS is striving for? Is this not what most unions are working towards? People are at their best when they are fully rested, happy and positive.
We are all wanting for the better. These are feelings which, hopefully, would propel us to strive more better things in future. So, no, I would not stop feeling annoyed or frustrated that I did not get somewhere better. However, I would make the best out of it. I must. Perhaps I should just deal with this individually. It isn't something that others might be able to comprehend, furthermore, at the end of the day, you might create upset..something one wouldn't want to do at all to anyone dear to heart.
Besides, being a 'professional' would mean (as a lecturer mentioned), doing his or her best even when at their worst.
I dun feel like being oneeeee... *_* i wanna whine whine whine and pout all the time. (hey, it rhymes! :P)
And.....I will love again.

The planet Mars
Is Mars dirty? Isit filthy? Messy? Mouldy? Unkempt?
Cuz if Men are from Mars, I think that a part of the planet would be like the above.
Goodness, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful (*shuly falls down on her knees and clasp her hands together*) that the Martians that I know in Cardiff are NICE NEAT & PROPER. Really. I think I prefer Cardiff to where I am now. I feel stressed, moody, irritable....not good aura.
So, here's to the guys I know in Cardiff who's for sure are a neat and tidy bunch! - Seer! WK! ZL! Alan (possibly!) Alan L
I felt like submitting an article into a local newspapers regarding my insights on tourism in Malaysia - from a girl who has seen a bit of Europe and has not been home for 2 years, yearning for good food and like all other students, travelling. However, by doing so, I would be publishing my name into the newspapers and might get unwanted attention. Gawd, cuz during this summer break, a few people have commented to me on the BRATs advert, even my dentist in her 50s!
So, here, with the few who visits my blog, I shall pen down my thoughts - with little editing and minimal conscious of any grammatical error and lack of apt vocabulary that there might be.
There were 2 significant places that I went - yes, i wish i had been more and done better - but that's another day's story. The first being to Gua Tempurung with my coursemates from UK. We went in a car - 5 people. 4 of us were with the intention of visiting Perak. There was nothing much in Ipoh and the best nearest place Lav and I could think of to bring Kate and Aicha was Gua Tempurung. Ok, so we went. I took the earliest bus from Tapah to Ipoh. What was usually a 40 mins drive, ended up to be a 90 minute bus ride. OK, nevermind. Buses are slower (half the speed!). But it was rude shock that I encountered which left me in despair. I enquired for the bus destination, as there were no boards on the bus saying so, and the route that it would be taking. I asked if it went to Medan Gopeng, because it was where i wanted to go. I got a mumble from the old Malay pakcik driver and yells from the indian lady conductor going, "Duduk! Duduk!, Aiya, duduk!" Ok, so I sat. The bus moved with me having no knowledge of where it might go. After it has cornered out of the dirty bus station, the auntie conductor came to me and went, "Aa, mana mau pigi?" =.=' OMG rite?!?!?!?! Well, sometimes, conductors don't even ask and expect you to know how much to pay!
Fast fwd: reach ipoh, met up with the others, took the car to Gua Tempurung (GT).
At GT, we wanted to do something more challenging. At least something more fun for our british coursemates to remember and enjoy their stay in Malaysia. But our local people just had to leave us in disappointment again. The minimum number of people for the cave exploring involving water was 8. A freaking EIGHT. If foreign tourists were to come, they wouldn't be in a group of EIGHT la people. These are backpackers dude..go do more research for tourism lah. They travel alone, or at most as a pair. Geez* Even a car can only fit max of 5 people. We told the lady at the counter selling the tickets, and she said she can't do anything about it. So meh have to pay lor. 4 people paying for 8 tickets. So much for tourism in Malaysia. It's daylight robbery. As much as I would stand by my principles to boycott them, my principles also told me to just suck it up and pay for it, because this is for my friends who flew thousands of miles from a faraway continent. Geez. There weren't many people there at all. In fact, there were only about 4 others besides us wanting to enter the cave in the hour that we had to wait for the 'scheduled' tour. Duhhhh...the guides were doing nothing, smoking and chatting just to wait for the 'scheduled' tour of 10.10am. We eventually started at 10.20am. What a shameful picture to portray to our guests!
I believe that my friends did not have a good time in Malaysia. You could see it in their faces. When they show photos of Thailand, you'd know the huge difference. And reading from their blogs about what they did in Singapore and Australia after that, it's really like Malaysia was just a "Ok, i've been there" country to visit.
Next Up:
Fraser's Hill.
I've talked a bit about Fraser's, so here's a short summary of it all. Food places: 2. One chinese, one malay. Souvenir shop opened at 8pm. Tourist information centre with leaflets of OTHER places/destinations. But the BIGGEST BIGGEST catch of all is .....the MAP! No wonder those Tapah boys got lost in the Bishop's Trail. The MAP WAS NOT DRAWN ACCORDING TO SCALE! Besar Besar they plaster the map billboard size at a few place. And it was so deceiving. Unclear. Gosh. We learnt Kajian Tempatan, followed by Geography in primary and secondary school respectively. There is definitely a failure in our education system. And i'm guessing that the people who has to approve the map must have some kind of qualifications. Perhaps they graduated in industri pemakanan.
Visitor's attraction were not up to par. Suffice to say, compare the below:
In Malaysia:
Not in Malaysia.
Damn, this msian tourism so fake la. They've manipulated untouched beauty and left dirty prints all over. urgh*

If foreign tourists were to come, they wouldn't be in a group of EIGHT la people. These are backpackers dude..go do more research for tourism lah. They travel alone, or at most as a pair. Geez* Even a car can only fit max of 5 people. We told the lady at the counter selling the tickets, and she said she can't do anything about it. So meh have to pay lor. 4 people paying for 8 tickets. So much for tourism in Malaysia. It's daylight robbery. As much as I would stand by my principles to boycott them, my principles also told me to just suck it up and pay for it, because this is for my friends who flew thousands of miles from a faraway continent. Geez. There weren't many people there at all. In fact, there were only about 4 others besides us wanting to enter the cave in the hour that we had to wait for the 'scheduled' tour. Duhhhh...the guides were doing nothing, smoking and chatting just to wait for the 'scheduled' tour of 10.10am. We eventually started at 10.20am. What a shameful picture to portray to our guests!
I believe that my friends did not have a good time in Malaysia. You could see it in their faces. When they show photos of Thailand, you'd know the huge difference. And reading from their blogs about what they did in Singapore and Australia after that, it's really like Malaysia was just a "Ok, i've been there" country to visit.
Next Up:
Fraser's Hill.
I've talked a bit about Fraser's, so here's a short summary of it all. Food places: 2. One chinese, one malay. Souvenir shop opened at 8pm. Tourist information centre with leaflets of OTHER places/destinations. But the BIGGEST BIGGEST catch of all is .....the MAP! No wonder those Tapah boys got lost in the Bishop's Trail. The MAP WAS NOT DRAWN ACCORDING TO SCALE! Besar Besar they plaster the map billboard size at a few place. And it was so deceiving. Unclear. Gosh. We learnt Kajian Tempatan, followed by Geography in primary and secondary school respectively. There is definitely a failure in our education system. And i'm guessing that the people who has to approve the map must have some kind of qualifications. Perhaps they graduated in industri pemakanan.
Visitor's attraction were not up to par. Suffice to say, compare the below:
In Malaysia:
Not in Malaysia.
Damn, this msian tourism so fake la. They've manipulated untouched beauty and left dirty prints all over. urgh*

Delightful!
The trip up to Fraser's was gooooD. :) (but fraser's itself needs lots of improvement to be a tourist destination)
These fellas were sooooo entertaining. And WC was being rather eccentric! hehe. liked his enthusiasm! and Seer, my gosh, never seen him making so many lame jokes before! haha. And during this trip, i spoke the most cantonese since i got back!!! ..and learnt a few hilarious phrases from mr siew-tam-kwong-tung-wa! haha! damn amazing la that fella, knowing so many phrases and languages.
Room was really really REALLY huge - esp mine :P -. WC booked them. thanks weh.
Oh, the triple hours chor tai tee was also courtesy of mr WC. haha! he really was prepared for everything! torchlight, deck of cards, food.. haha, he missed out milk though..to feed the ever-milk-needing seer! :P
hmm, went walking about, trekking, eating, chatting, ..had an eye-check with seer. haha!
Yes, shu li was very happy throughout the trip. Seer was ever so him... nice, cool, pleasant..etc; just the way he has always been.it was nice being doted upon. *giggles* Columates might be able to guess what i mean. :P [to columates: it was so good to see him that i forgot to tease (or 'bully) him! - so, yes! it was THAT good to see seer! *sigh* gonna miss him next year..]

2 guys, a girl and a hill
= HAPPY!
Thanks to WC! I actually went up to Fraser's Hill!!! If it weren't for him, I'd probably have not gone up and regret about it. And thanks to his company too!
As for Seer, what can I say. I never budge from what I told him on his birthday. It can only get better...and it has. So here's to you seer oon! =)
As for Fraser's itself, it changed. And Malaysia has to do more for tourism.
Should i blog about Fraser's here? Hehe, will see how in the future. Not for now. A sneek preview to a might-be showcase would be: shuly was smiling all the way up. :)

Unknowingly surreal
You do get a little bit disappointed when your friends from UK came to Malaysia and you didn't know!!! Shows how introverted I am. =( Ah well, the fascinating part of it is that they took pixxies of stuff seemingly trivial to the locals. Like the road side stalls, the huge century-old trees with creepers hanging from them, a fountain, the mamak shops, and the markets. Well, actually, i have always found markets to be very delightful. They're full of life (and dead livestock ..haha, yes, irony intended), vigour and colour. One of the best markets that i've been is the one in Kuching, on Sundays. Pasar Tamu they called it i think. It was soooooo fascinating. I never felt so elated and it gives me such excitement now just thinking about it. There were fruits and veggies that the peninsular does not have, an amazing range of seafood (we bought fresh sea cucumbers!) and there were a variety of flower species..and even pet animals!!! oh, how adorable seeing furry little cutesy animals hopping running about, and the fisheys. oh*ooh*oooh*
Ok, back to where i was at. Yeah, they took photos of skyscrapers, butterflies and dragonflies, orchids..etc. Things that I rarely snap photos of previously. But guess what, I do now! haha, then mebbe i can put them up on facebook and let my UK friends envy of my 'wickkkeddd summer hols'. WAkakakaka!
I do think that we are very blessed with the flora and fauna that we have. I have never seen a lizard in UK! ....but within a month at home, i got frightened several times by them already. Butterflies are uncommon too. Speaking of which, I rarely see butterflies and moths around my housing area anymore. =( sigh.
Oh, and when i was in KL, i took a pic of the KL tower + Twin Towers with my bro in it. =D
....but, i don't know how we're gonna grow up and start being more civilised. Locals treat 'white' foreigners so much better than their own.
