For your information, I'm currently working part-time in Borders, Queensbay. Well... considered part-time since I still have to go back to study end of January but working full-time shift. So whoever is free and in Penang... feel free to visit me!!!! I told some of my friends I'm working there and the response was, "oh, really ar? It suits you.". Do everyone sees me as someone who is always surrounded by books??!!
Working in Borders made me realized that some kids are really monsters!!! The devil's reincarnate!! They come and just tear open books or wrapping with no regards to the books or even the patrolling employees. Monsters!! And the worse thing is their parents let them do whatever they want and when we reprimanded them, some of the parents can even turn their face away and ignore us!! Geez, no only do their kids do not have any manners or courtesy, they themselves don't have any either. No wonder their kids turned out so bad. But some of the kids are so adorable and sweet... one kid even gave me a flying kiss and another was talking to me about my braces. So cute!!!
I get employee discount on buying books!! Hehehe... but before I utilizes it, my two brats (for those of you who dunno, my brats happened to be my two sisters) already came to me to ask me to buy manga for them... sigh... Well, at least I used the employee discount, right? Oh... I believe I get discount at Starbucks too... not too sure about that, but I think I do. :D
Right I have to get ready for work. So people, come find me!!! Wahhahahaha...
Till next time! Muaks!

I'm back!!!
Wow... I'm finally able to have time to update. Chao has been messaging me... must have thought that I had disappeared off the face of the planet. Hehehe... And I finally completed my FYP!!! Yahoo!!! But you know what? My presentation sucks. The usual procedure is that any Q&A sessions are after the presentation, correct?
Wrong!! At least for me. My moderator practically stopped me at every single slide I have to ask questions! It was so bad that my supervisor was helping my through the whole thing by elaborating my answers to my moderator's questions. At least right immediately after the presentation I was told that my work is complete and all and I can find them the next day for any corrections to be done before handing in the final report to the faculty. One small mercy for a lot of pain...
But at least that's over and done with. And now let me present to you... Bali pictures!! Yup yup, I went Bali in July and it's beautiful.
The first view I have of Bali just before the plane landed.

The first view I have of Bali just before the plane landed.
One of the famous temples in Bali which is just right next to a cliff.
BBQ seafood dinner by the beach...
to watch the setting sun as you have your dinner.
Mount Kintamani, the volcano which erupted few years back... the blackish land are the dried lava.
The lake surrounding the volcano, and the village which will only house 400 families. Any more than that, the new family will have to move out of the village... and the villagers don't bury their dead, they leave the dead to rot besides a big sandalwood tree.
Check out this tree, extremely tall, extremely big, located in Gua Gajah (another temple).
Told you the tree is big...
The road signs pointing to all the favourite spots to hang out in Bali town.
And the beautiful beach... the white building hidden by the trees is a new shopping mall where shoppers can just walk straight into the beach.
The beach, the waves, the surfers and ppl suntan-ning... nope, I have already answered, there are no topless girls there. :D
The hotel which I am staying at, where some of the rooms have exit straight into the swimming pool.
The famous Hard Rock Cafe of Bali, right beside the beach.
The floating temple. Named such because when the tide rises, only the temple can be seen, the pathway is all underwater.
Another temple by the sea... also another sunset-watching spot.
The sunset itself... beautiful...

China anyone?
This past few weeks has been hectic. After my incident with the snatch thief, I have been slowly getting all my stuffs back, like MyCard, driving license, bank cards, my other cards... of course, bought a new phone as well, though kept my old number. Thank God for those registration thingy.
Just came back from China about two weeks ago. And just came back from Melaka yesterday. Been doing a lot of travelling. Just to inform those who has been asking, I won't be graduating this year but next. I'm extending my final year project (FYP), so I won't be graduating so soon.
Like I said, I went to China, Beijing, Chengde and Tian Jin. Very nice trip. It was the summer, so it was not too hot or too cold. Weather is just nice. And I realized one thing, China people are really into FengShui!! I mean everything is FengShui... including where to place your aquarium!! The imperial palace, the Forbidden City, is practically structured on FengShui itself. Not only that the FengShui master we met even talk about our very own Petronas Twin Towers that carries several characteristics of FengShui which makes it a very good and erm... fortunate(???) building! I never wanna hear anything about FengShui anymore.
This China trip I went has been nothing but seeing palaces, and more palaces and more palaces. I mean, true, they have enough lands to build more palaces, but honestly, do they even use all those palaces?? Got summer palace and winter palace... vacation palace... whatever palace. They really enjoyed life, don't they.
Anyway, enough nonsense. Feast your eyes on the photos I took!
More structures in the summer palace
A… ‘fengshui’ stone in the summer palace itself, apparently taking a picture with a person in it that person will fall into bad luck… ‘nuff said
A layout of the imperial palace… and gate no.1 and no.2, said to be used to forewarn the palace of incoming attacks by lighting lanterns.
(1) The humongous square between gates no.1 and no.2 and the imperial palace, (2) the entrance, with a brand new Mao Zhe Tong’s face.. er, picture, (3) Look at the amount of roofs in the palace, and I’m only halfway through the palace and that’s only from one tiny angle.
Jade collections anyone?
Satay… China style. No joke, these are really cooked satay-style, only different… er… ingredients than us. (1) Lobsters and the ones on right are worms, (2) Starfish, and those curly things on the stick? Worms too… at least the one below happened to be just squids, (3) More worms, red meat… and those thin, greyish things on the tray? They’re centipedes… yuck! (4) Sea urchin anyone? And ya, didn’t managed to take a nice picture of it, but there are scorpions as well… and I just had my dinner before heading there…
Talk about fully utilizing the parking lots…
The five cute mascots of the 2008 Olympics Games… no idea what kind of creatures they are (though we’re pretty sure the black one is a panda), but I do know their names!! From left, Huanhuan (red), Yingying (yellow), Nini (green), Beibei (blue) and finally Jingjing (black).
A new trend in the hotels of China I bet, large glass window replacing the wall separating the bedroom and the bathroom. To get privacy? Well, shut the blinds of course!
(1) A very common sign in China…, (2) A road sign which none of us has any idea of… though the popular one happens to be ‘No burning of cars’.
2008 attraction… The Olympics stadium of course! They call it the bird’s nest.
And finally, a China trip is not a China trip without a panda bear.
Well, that’s all the pictures. Anyone wanna see more come find me. Hehehe… until next time!

Check out the door!! We estimated it to be around 20 to 25 feet tall. Large stone carving, located in the imperial palace… where else?? DUH…
Jade collections anyone?
Yup! Not only did we visit the palaces, we went to their tombs as well….
(1) Entrance to the tombs, just for clarification, I did enter the tomb where the bodies were buried… deep underground. The stuffs there were fake though, the bodies and relics were already taken out, (2) Trees growing out of the wall in the tomb’s ground, (3) See the inscriptions on the stone? It’s the name of the person who made the stone, so that the emperor can easily identified the person who made an unacceptable stone and thus punish him (or rather, have him sentenced to death).
At last the main attraction!! The Great Wall of China!! Proofs that we climb the wall… notice the uneven steps? Makes one wonder how those soldiers of the olden days guard the wall... Oh, and those are my sisters playing dress-up.
