Hostel Life 4

Back to memory lane : 7 July 2011

After the class of the day, we were having our mentor-mentee session. I stood there for quite a long time and finally my mentor came and met me up. Some knew their mentors days before because they met before, unlike me.

We were seated with our mentors face to face, communicate and interact with each other, getting to know and understand one and other. She was a very nice senior, having fair skin and was quite good looking girl. We used to talk in Mandarin, then changed to Hokkien because both of us were Penangite.

Every mentor will give his/her mentee a small gift and I got mine a packet of small cupcakes and a love letter. Haha. Not a love letter actually. It was a paper, wrote on some encouraging words. Although it wasn't expensive gift but I appreciate it a lot. Thanks, my mentor. =)


After that, we went for a light dinner and attend the welcoming party held by Christian Fellowship members. A nice party with exciting games. 2 losers per round and it included my classmate for both round. They have to perform as a penalty. Party ended around 9pm.

And one more important thing, I would like to introduce my roommate. After for about 1 week there, I finally remembered to get a photo with her. She was Pei Yin, Penangite also. She was a quiet and gentle girl, I have a very big different with her but still manage to mix well with her.


Briefly talked about the welcoming party, I will update about it if I get the photos. 2 more parties are coming up soon. And Year 1 Semester 1 lesson going to start from Monday onwards. Work hard!

This weekends will be staying at my own home. The feeling of going back home was so nice. And everyone was busy adding new friends in Facebook, chatting and spamming wall. Haha. Seems like everyone started to get used of the life there, making new friends around. It goes to the same as me too.

Home sweet home...

Hostel Life 3

We were still in our orientation week and today was the first day everyone in college t-shirt. Finally whole class looks more neat and nice with the same shirt. Lesson not yet start, just briefing and introduction for us about the college, semester and exam stuff.

We got a gift from our senior for welcoming us to the college to study. It's a pen actually, with a cute character on top. Thank you senior. Looking forward to join the welcoming party this Thursday.


Alright, the photos below were the place where we iron and dry our clothes. Suppose to show it out on the previous post but didn't get to capture the photos. Anyway, the covered balcony I didn't capture because there was a little not so convenient to do so.


I get to know more new friends today, hope to join in with everyone soon. But I think it needs more time because my class was a big class if compare with my classes in secondary school. I might not going home that frequent since I slowly get used to the hostel. Soon the study starts, everyone will gets busy, including me.

I will update again if there is any news in my hostel. Stay tuned.

Hostel Life 2

The second day since I stepped in. Basically the seniors were very nice to us especially last night, suddenly met so many people in the hostel because usually when we stepped out from the room, you will see no one around the compound. They taught us bed making and roll call. And I get to meet my neighbour after a day long we didn't see anyone there. It's good to meet them up and recognise them.

I am very steam last night. I set my alarm clock but I didn't press the button up, so it cannot wake me up this morning. Luckily I got my phone alarm with me. Luckily it wasn't too hot at night, manage to sleep without using blanket. My friends got the room behind me, cooler weather till blanket is needed. =.=

My breakfast was really healthy but the portion seems to be a bit too little. One piece of bread, one fully-boiled egg and a cup of milo. I think it was the first time to eat that less in early morning and after a while I felt hungry already. Haha. Can keep fit.

just received the college t-shirt

We got half day class in Saturday. Today was briefing of rules and regulation, used up 2 hours on it. I could see everyone was boring and nearly fall asleep in the class. Haha. Tomorrow no class, planned to go out with friends. Hmmm.

Currently at home but I have nothing to do. The benefits going back to home was you got your own bed, internet and cooler weather. Might be going back hostel earlier to join my friends.

Hostel Life 1

It was the first day of July and I was moving to hostel for my diploma course. I reached there at almost 8am and went for register. Seniors helped us to carry our stuff and brought us to the room. My roommate was staying in Penang too.

my out-of-focus temporary name tag

Alright, just a simple room for us. Two beds, tables and closets per room. A shared toilet, dressing table and fan for us. My room faced building and sun, which means the room will be hotter if compared to those behind. All clothes should be dry at the balcony upstairs. And we have to share a covered balcony with whole block of students if we are not drying clothes at the open area up there.

toilet and bathroom were joined

dressing table

this area was mine

my writing table

I am quite tired today, just feel like sleeping. I think I am lacked of sleep and the briefing was kind of boring. And those briefing will last for a week. Tutor told us that the tough life will begins on the second week. Rules were quite strict but I guess should be okay after get used of it.

My class was Group 45 under Year 1 Semester 1. We got 51 student nurses in a class and only 5 out of them were male, another 46 were female. Wow. Sounds good for a male to take up nursing course huh. Haha. The majority was Chinese, followed by Indian and Malay.

First day was so far so good, recognised new friends there. Just mixed and talk including the seniors. We don't know what to do at night because we don't have laptop, we don't have wifi, we don't have book and what we can do is sleep early I guess. Haha.

Just a short update about my new life, will be back to hostel soon.

I'm Ready

Time really flies. I had been enjoying my 6 months long holiday and now I am getting ready for college. Not to say fully enjoy the 6 months because I used most of the time to work, for about 4 months. I will miss my colleagues a lot.

Well, nervous for the coming of tomorrow? To be honest, not really. I'm rather more on excited. Haha. I am going to stay in new environment, start my study, face challenges, make new friends... Finally can start study since everyone around me already started theirs long time ago.

And stop asking where I am going to study and why I have to move in hostel. I am going to start my study at Lam Wah Ee Nursing College, will be staying in the hostel from tomorrow morning onwards, for 3 years till I end my diploma course. It's a compulsory to stay in hostel no matter how near my house to the hostel.


It gonna be a brand new month. I'm ready to face my new life. College life begins and I will fight for my future. Will update more about the life there soon.

in case didn't see me for long time,
the photo below is the latest me

Bridal Photography Exhibition (Bripex)

Back to memory lane : 30 April 2011

This event was held 2 months back and I only done editing, putting on watermark yesterday. Why? Because previously my laptop was sent to service and I accumulated several events photos. And thinking on editing, just Bripex this event already 500+ photos, and I'm very lazy.

Since I resigned my job, waiting for schooling, I have to squeeze some time out to get this thing done. And finally, I bet down my laziness and here it is. Cut the crap and let the photos talk.

I just simply not so like the lighting there. And there was lots of photographer. I have to squeeze in the crowds and when I wanted to zoom in, I just realised that my lens wasn't long enough to reach that length. Damn. So frustrated of that. But I still satisfied on some photos.

Movie - Food - Redbox

Back to memory lane : 28 June 2011

I was suppose to fetch Ah Poh and her boyfriend at 12:45pm. But when I woke up from nap, it was almost 1pm. Gosh! I jumped up from my bed, grabbed my bag and went out. Luckily not yet time for school dismissal and the area around Heng Ee High School wasn't traffic jam.

We reached Gurney and met up with Ah Yung. Then we went to buy movie ticket. I used my expired student card to buy the ticket, at first they don't allow but they said if I'm caught for that, then I won't be allowed to watch the movie. I don't care and I don't believe I will be that unlucky since no one will check whether are you a student or not.


A very funny movie and I'm not regret on watching this movie. Even though some said it was bad but I felt it was okay, can consider as nice. Will recommend to my colleagues about it. Haha. Well, our main plan of today was sing karaoke. After movie, we booked Redbox at 4pm.

Then we went for food later on. We have no idea where to go and decided to go Kim Gary Restaurant, wanted to try the special meal during the lunch time at weekdays. Thought we will finish our meal in half hour but we failed. Haha.

my favourite - cream soup

lemon honey

(it had a long name and I can't remember it)

We were late for half an hour but we don't care. There will definitely got room for us because we didn't crowds in Gurney neither Redbox. Checked in and they allowed us to sing till 8pm, 3 and a half hours. And they gave us extra an hour because I have the DotRed member card.

We sang till very tired and voiceless. We picked till don't know what song to pick and guess what. We picked children songs. When Ah Poh was singing happily, the staff came in and asked for bill. He was a little stunned and we felt so embarrassing. We felt that we were old and outdated because the songs already been edited, different with those in last time.

We went back at 9 something, dropped Ah Poh and his boyfriend back. A seriously happy day with them. This was the first hang out with them and I'm not sure when will be the next time. Everyone will be busy on studies including me. So nice to recognise them during my working moment.

Working Diary 39

Today was my last day of working. I suppose to work till Tuesday but I decided to leave earlier. I want to have more time on personal stuff instead of keep on working everyday.

The day passed normally today. I worked for half day today and it was the end. It seems like spreading the news I am leaving today. Wherever I go, my colleagues will asked me about it. Something funny happened was the bartenders were having drinking kiwi jam juice competition. The drinks taste okay but if drank a lot, it might be disgusting.

I could see everyone was happy when I treated them KFC yesterday. The reason I treated them were I will be leaving today and I did said I want to treat them for the previous leave, but I didn't. And I was back again 2 months later. So I treat it this time because I knew I won't be going back to work anymore.

We were separating into different path. You guys gotta work hard there and I will be fighting for my future. Hope to keep in touch with you guys and will pay a visit if I am free.

Everyone I recognised there was my first batch colleagues because there was my first working place ever in my life. The first few days I was there were like stranger, I don't even recognise anyone and everyone was busy working due to school holiday. Slowly I joined them for supper and sooner I managed to mix in the group. This was what made me felt happy. Although there was some new faces when I went back but within days, we already mixed into a group, like close friends. How nice was that huh. I never regret on going there to work although it was a little tired sometimes. The wonderful things were we built up friendship and had fun during work. You guys were awesome colleagues.

Never disallow children to work during holiday because once they worked, they knew how hard to earn money, they will spend wisely and they will discover that actually study might be better than working for most of the time. But working do learn things that cannot learn from study. Haha.

I'm going to start my study... I'm going to start my study... =D

Class Gathering

I planned this gathering at the beginning of the month and it was the day on yesterday. We supposed to wear class t-shirt but Kok Jing told me he can't found it and Bernard said he can't wear it. I thought no one will be wearing it, at last I didn't wear it but turned out some of them wearing.

We met at Queenbay at around 2pm. I met up with Kok Jing and Jinn Chyn, then Yeh Sheng and Pei Zhi came later. All of us were waiting for Lee Quan because he was fetching others. Since they not yet eat their lunch, we went for food while waiting them.

the restaurant - Taiwan Bull

see... how sweet the couple were

I went to met up my colleague, Ah Han after our meal. He was lost in Queensbay, this was really funny. I was laughing while I saw his message. Alright, as I planned, we went for the Thai horror movie - Ladda Land. Jinn Chyn didn't join us because of having basketball competition later.


Thai movie really different, this was what we called horror. I did got scared but now screaming. Yi Wen was beside me, screaming and hiding with jacket. And I was there laughing. Haha. I know I am bad. But the ending part was touching and I like the song.

After movie, Pei Zhi, Yeh Sheng and Ah Han went back. But Tze Ern, Wei Qing and Bernard joined us for dinner. We headed to Krystal Point later on, having dinner at Caffe De Strada.


I like the atmosphere there, very nice and suitable for couple having meal or friends to gather there. But we seems to be there to spoil the atmosphere because we talked till quite noisy. The waitress was in a little trouble because 11 of us wanted to order at the same time. And she have to walk around if not cannot hear what we said.

Kok Jing, Bernard and Wei Qing

Tze Ern, Marcus and Li Nian

willing to drink off such nice-looked coffee?

We ate, we talked, we joked, we laughed... I really very miss this moment when everyone gathered together. Not to say that night wasn't fun but just the feeling was different. Secondary school life was just so awesome. We never feel this way till the moment faded. We wished to go back to 5S2 and have fun like how we did last year.


After we finished the foods, everyone still sitting there and chat. And when I mentioned about dessert, everyone went for it at the same time. A big group of people surrounded the ice-cream corner. When there is no one, none of them going to take. When I mentioned, everyone go for it, packed like a sardin there. Aren't they funny?


We continue to chat till the shop close at almost 12 midnight. We shared the jokes, funny stuff and laughed like the cafe is ours. Haha. Xin Wei called Tze Ern and we take turns to talk on phone with her. And she ended up got played by Marcus and Wei Pin. They mimic the voice of others and everyone around laughed, especially on Lee Quan's favourite quote - "hew".

Wei Qing and Tze Ern

I planned this class gathering because I am going to move in hostel and my time might be controlled by the college authorities. I don't know when will be the next time we meet and when will be the next gathering. I know you guys missed the apartment stay a lot, so do I. I will plan for it if I am free at the end of year.

A nice day with you guys, we shared a lot, updated news happened around since everyone was separated now. 5S2, the best class that I ever studied. =)
