Lets talk about me. I am a person who easily get nervous especially during exam. I tried to control my nervous and recently I manage to control it. I realized that it is depends on the way you are thinking. So, I tell myself that no matter what is the outcome, I had tried my best.

I have 5 family members. I have 1 elder brother and 1 younger brother. I am the only daughter in the family. So, my parents love me very much. I come from an average family but I am satisfied with it. Although my family is not rich but my parents always give me the best things they had. My mom, dad and two brothers love me very much. My biggest hope is that I wish all of them healthy and happy always. This is because I know that money cannot buy healthy. 

Dean Award Ceremony

Yesterday is the Dean Award for College of Business. My friends and I had attended the Dean Award Ceremony which is held at DKG 4/1. One things that make all of us disappointed is they separate us by arrange us sit according to our name. So, all of us sit in different places. Unfortunately, we manage to take a group photo before the ceremony and after the ceremony. I hope that this semester all of us can get CGPA 3.5 and above so that I can collect the total of 6 Dean list. Congratulation to all of us!!!

Yeah!! This is my Dean List!

This is the view which I take at my hometown which is from Taiping Lake Garden, Perak. Built on top of an abandoned tin mine, the gardens were opened in 1880, earning them a place in the history books as the first public garden in then-Malaya. 

Huge ancient rain trees (“angsana”) line the lake; their branches stretching from one end of the road into the waters across, making the perfect backdrop for couples taking their wedding photos. Lake Garden has ten scenic lakes and ponds, a Lotus Pool, charming bridges, tracks for jogging and reflexology, all surrounded by tropical plants, flowers, trees and wildlife. For kids, a roller-skating rink, paddleboat rides, and a playground ensure that the outdoors appeal more than the latest video game.

Penang Wall Art

Penang is categorized as one of the World Heritage Side. One of the activities you can plan when you are visiting to Penang is to search for Wall Art. Its is located in George Town, Penang, but every piece of wall art is located at different area. To easier for you, you can get the map from shopping mall the information counter for free.Therefore, I had choose to rent bicycle at one shop in the area of Love Lane, a very old model bicycle to match the Heritage "feel".You are suggested to start finding the Wall Art early in the morning before noon so that it would not be so hot.

"Little Child on Bicycle" Mural is one of the most famous wall art that drawn by Ernest. The Hong Kong TVB artist Aimee also visit this place in the Hong Kong drama "Outbound Love".

I had choose to rent bicycle at one shop in the area of Love Lane, a very old model bicycle to match the Heritage "feel".

This is another wall art, the name for this wall art is called "The Awaiting Trishaw Pedaler" Mural. 

On the way to search for other wall art, i saw there are a lot "Beca" beside the road.

This is also one of the wall art by Ernest which named as "Reaching Up" Mural.

"This Old Man" Mural is no longer available.

Around 1 o clock in the evening, we had stop searching for the rest wall art due to hotness and tiredness.

Hatyai Night Market

The ASEAN night market in Hatyai, Thailand was something different and diverse. It is very large but the things that sell are repetitive.Most of the stall are selling shirt, shoes, foods , girl's accessories, watches and handbag. From Lee Garden sit tuk tuk the price is around 30 Baht to 40 Baht depend on the driver and depend on how you negotiate with the driver.Please take note that this night market only open on Thursday to Friday. 

There are two to three stalls that selling this types of sushi and their stall is at the same row. The price and the sushi that are selling are the same but i wonder why most of the customers prefer the middle stall.

This is my favorite food, every time i when there for sure I will buy this. One boxes contains of 5pcs, don't wait until it cold only eat because when it cold it is not nice anymore.

 Cockroach and worms, I really not brave enough to try this.

This ice-cream is too sweet. It is quite disappointed after eat this.

One Day Trip To Butterfly Farm

A visit to butterfly farm during my mid semester break. This is a unforgettable day for me. In the same day i not feeling well, the car got some problem and lastly is I forget to bring my identification card to Butterfly farm. I realize I forget to bring my identification card when buying entrance ticket. There is special price for MYKAD holder which is RM 18 instead of RM 27. Luckily the person whose sell tickets believe I am Malaysian so I just have to pay RM 18 for the ticket.
