We Survive ♥




It has been a while since the last time i blog. Ni semua gara-gara kerja yang terlampau banyak. Hari-hari mesti ada something, presentation la, submission la, test la, blah2. Dah lumrah seorang student kannn.Klau tanak face semua benda tu, sila berhenti belajar dan kawen sekarang. *haha*



28th March 2011 was one of the happiest days of 2011

Why?

Dah setahun kami kenal. Dah setahun you annoyed me and i know you will keep on annoying me! :P Thanks for the red roses and I cannot wait for ze celebration!


Mooting berakhir ngan jayanya after we struggled real hard. I managed untuk tidak bergerak masa submit mooting and i'm proud of myself! *hee* After I submit my grounds, apa yang membuatkan daku kombang is when she said, 'Very good' For someone yang tak pandai speaking, apatah lagi nk mengeMoot, sudah tentu daku kombang. *hehe* Tapi dia cakap ad debate-style, and I couldn't help it. (=_=') Yang paling terharu when she judged our overall performance as a team pun was good. She said she could see that we had practised a lot. :')


Memonteng class law and media. It turned out that Pn Mazlina gave us our test papers. *Gulp* Lagi satu perkara yang membuatkan daku yang tak berapa nak pandai ni rasa nak nanges was when they told me that i got the highest for the test. Alhamdulillah :')






Tapi hari tu gak yang kitorang dikejutkan with the news that our LRM presentation was in 2 days time. Cuak kot. Test hari khamis tak study lagi, Rabu pulak tiba-tiba ada presentation. It was quite chaotic at first.




But, Thanks to Allah, the LRM presentation went quite well despite the short notice given. The lecturers seemed to be satisfied with our proposal. Great job guys! I feel so blessed that my groupmates for both mooting and LRM are superb and tip-top when it comes to work. :)




Selain markah test Media, on wednesday kitorang 'dikejutkan' dengan markah land law. It was OK-OK je. I know i need to work harder kalau nak dapat 14.5/15 macam my classmate. But still Alhamdulillah :)




On Thursday, test Admintrust pulak. Bukan dapat paper, tapi kena jawab test yang susah gila baban tu. I stared at the question for 15 minutes before answering it. Tapi pastu pulunnnn je. InsyaAllah dapatlah markah. *haha*





It was the busiest week ever but I'm glad that my friends and I survive, dengan jayanya :')





I love you girls, Nab, Dyla and Paer (and Miss too!) Tak lupa gak Luq and Che Nin














KPOP FRIDAY

Happy Friday!

This week I am going to post a song by a four person Korean girl group called Secret. I feel like I have been pretty KPOP male heavy these last couple of weeks (especially with Big Bang stuff lately because I have a huge crush on TOP).

I am going to post their new hit song "Shy Boy." I don't necessarily love this song but I think the video does a good job of showing the immature girly culture that Korea has sometimes. It is not always like this but, once in a while you will see girls acting much younger than their age as a way to be sexy. I am not completely sure but I think immaturity as attractiveness is common in other Asian cultures as well.

Secret has gotten pretty popular and they have a couple of hit songs out right now. I hope you enjoy Secert's video to "Shy Boy."

Have a great weekend.

Bangkok

From Koh Phi Phi we flew to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand.
We stayed at the Bhimann Inn in the historical district of Bangkok, only a five minute walk for Khoa San Road. The hotel was clean and quiet, with a pool in the back. It was nice to be so close to all the action on Khoa San Road but to be living off of it. Khoa San Road is the backpacking district of Bangkok. The road sells tank tops, face ids, food, beer, drugs and anything else you can think of. It is notorious for late nights and a good time.

We were only in Bangkok for 3 nights and two days before we hopped over to Vietnam. So it was a couple of busy days trying to see as many Wats and eat as much Pad Thai as possible.

The Pad Thai was to die for and you could get it on almost any street from a food cart for around a dollar.
We spent our first day wondering around the historical district. We wanted to knock out all of the Wat's (temples) and The Grand Palace in one day. Let's just say it was a long day of tourism and tuk tuk rides. (Picture below is all of us squished in one tuk tuk.)We first went to check out Wat Pho, where the world's largest reclining Buddha lays. This "worlds largest _____ Buddha" would complete Sam's trifecta. He has now seen the worlds largest sitting, standing and reclining Buddhas. Now that an accomplishment.
The next Wat we hit up is called Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). It is across the river from The Grand Palace and it was my favorite Wat in Bangkok. It is smaller in size and far less glitzy. Wat Arun is made of broken Chinese porcelain. You can also climb up its steep and narrow stairs to the top for a great view of the city.
We crossed the river again and walked around The Grand Palace and the temple inside of it called Wat Phra Kaew. It was very glamourous, covered in gold and jewels. A place that we all said "we could live here one day."

That night we explored Bangkok's nightlife starting on Khoa San Road, meeting up with Brian's high school friend who is teaching English in Bangkok. We then followed him around the city to a bunch of clubs and bars. It was a blast and pretty insane. I think Bangkok has some of the most absurd nightlife I have ever seen. The next morning Justine and I went to check out the famous Bangkok landmark, Jim Thompson's House. Jim Thompson was an American business man who revitalized the Thai Silk industry. His death is also very famous and mysterious. He went missing while he was on vacation in northern Vietnam. In 1967 Mr. Thompson went out for a walk into the Vietnamese highlands and never returned. There has been many investigations over the years but no answers have been found. He left a beautiful house in Bangkok that is now popular with tourists. It took Justine and I 3 hours to find it (the fault of our AWFUL cab driver).
Here are some more shots I took from around Bangkok.
This was my second time in Bangkok. I went with my Dad and my older sister Shannon in 2004. I loved it then and I could not wait to get back there. There is something about Bangkok that makes me feel alive and extremely happy. It is just one of those cities I keep hearing myself say "I could live here at some point." Who knows when I will be back again and if it will be for an extended period of time. Anyone else want to move to Bangkok with me?

Next stop Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
