24

Ever since the first day of 2012, people has been counting down each and everyday with daily trending topics like page 1 of 366, page 3 or 366 and so on (p/s there are 366 days this year). So on the 12th day, I took to my twitter and wrote: Page 12 of 366, I was born today, 24 years ago. I'm actually pretty confused on how should I react to this number. Happy? Maybe, I did made it through one year in one piece. Sad? Maybe a bit, who in the world would love aging? This ain't your typical one step forward making two steps back. Yes, I'm confused, every time around this day, but still, I feel blessed.

Love You All

On Broadway

Ruffy, Michelle, Jessie & Me.
Well, only Michelle & Ruffy in sight in the photo.

Technically, it was just a cafe called Broadway.

Just another night out,

before some went back for the holidays,

and some, like myself stayed behind.

The night is always young around here.

Always will be.

Ruffy's Birthday

Happy birthday to the first course-mate to ask for my number, he's my ex-roommate (thank god that's over 'cause most of the time when his alarm rang, I really wanna strangle him, I kid, I kid lol), and now we're housemate.

He's probably the most straight forward guy I know, he just don't know how to sugarcoat and making it more presentable, sometimes that include him. But that's just the way he is, he's real in his own weird way. I know I can be harsh on him sometime, but that's just my way of showing that I don't sugarcoat my feelings with him too, unlike what I didn't with some people around me.

So, I guess there's no beef between us, or am I wrong? lol Still, I gotta respect him for being true to himself, and hopefully the girl of his dream will realize that someday too and try to lead him to a more normal life. But until then, happy birthday Ruffy.

23, finally

2nd Time Around: My Melaka Dream

There's something between me and Melaka, something that I just can't explain. I used to read about it in History class but I never dream that I could one day actually came here, to see with my very own eyes what remains and what it has become. It's pretty crowded with tourists but looking at its bits and pieces kinda make me sad, because who would have thought that a force so powerful in south east Asia would became just a tourist attraction. I guess everything came so quickly for Melaka, but it also ended as quickly as it begins.

While playing tourist there, I kinda really feel sad for Melaka. But hey, when I came here for the first time, I just couldn't get enough of it, not just the food, but the whole place. So, I really wish that I could come here again, and I did. So basically, I'm just gonna show you what I have been up to while I was there. There's no real life adventure, no romance and no people getting killed. Just pictures.

I actually went inside the church for once.

Birthday

Happy Birthday to the 2 guys who probably knew me better than any other guys here. 23 years old. I've been 23 for a few months now, and I can tell you that growing up kinda sucks. There's nothing much to look forward to life: first, there's our graduation. But before that, we still gotta finish our thesis, which seems like a Mission Impossible to me. After graduation, maybe there will be some unemployment for some time. Not to mention your love life will probably still be in the state of Limbo.  I didn't recall signing up for a lot of deep shit that life kept on throwing at me, do you?

21 & 22

Once In A While

Karsly, Michelle, Me, Ruffy & Jessie

Once in a while,

we lose our mind,

we go crazy.

Once in a while,

we give calories our middle finger,

we kick diabetes's butt,

because,

Once in a while,

it's okay to be crazy!

Stunning Bread

 

Stunning

If you know what I mean.

Food Bazaar

August means a lot of thing:

1. My last 4 weeks as a practical teacher.

2. The Hungry Ghost Festival (Soon, I guess.)

3. 31st August... Firework, parade & stuff... you know.

and this time around, Hari Raya is just around the corner.

But before that, the Muslim will have
a month's time to do their fasting,

Starting the first day of August.

Which means 1 thing to me: FOOD BAZAAR!

Half of the town musta been here.

 Us 4 little practical teachers

pay a little visit to one of the food bazaar here in Tanjong Malim,

Which turns out to be the BIGGEST one in town.

They must have been more than 100 stalls set up there.

Food sold here would fit a whole stadium field (Maybe just a small one)

They taste great if you're a fan of Malay food,

But I guess it's not just about the food,

Everybody's just in a festive mood.

Even me.
