Dreams?
What is your dream? When I was kid, I have a lot of dreams. Let me share with you some funny conversation with my parents before I came to Singapore.
Me: Mummy, I want to become a policeman when I grow up. Police is sooooo cool in the show. I like the way they solve the crime mystery.
Mom: No. You can't be a policewoman.
Me: WHY~~~
Mom: Later you kena ("being") shot by bad guys and left me, how? I will heart break and faint. So if you don't want to see your mom like this, don't become a policeman.
Me: Ohhhh! Then I shall become a fireman can?
Mom: HUH!
Me: Fireman also very cool. Save people from the fire and I like the most is when the fire alarm rings, the fireman has to go down to the main lobby by sliding down from a pole.
Mom: Cannot!! Later you save people, you trap yourself inside the fire how? Fire very hot and will burn you. So cannot also. Heart pain.
Me: Umm...How about doctor?
Mom: GOOD! Doctor also can save people but before that during the training, you need to stay with dead people for one night till dawn.
Me: Umm...mom! I scare of blood. So I can't and dead people is not scary. Blood is scarier.
Mom: Hahaha.
Dad: You can be air stewardess. Then I can have free or cheaper air ticket to fly overseas.
Mom: Good idea.
Me: I'm so short and I have scar on my face. Cannot.
Mom: Sayang Sayang.
Dad: Work in the stock exchange? The pay very high!
Mom: Noooo! You watch the show also right? Later stock dropped, all the money gone. Life will be in danger.
Me: I learn IT better. I love computers. Hehe.
Dad: hmm...good also. Same as your aunt. :)

Dream is always never too late to pursue. Just set and start pursuing. When you need help, find someone reliable to support you along the way. Never stop learning too. There is a phrase in Chinese -  活到老,学到老 meaning one is never too old to learn. Good luck and all the best!

Bangkok Trip Day 1

Today, I'm posting my Bangkok trip with ys almost two years back. We went Bangkok on 12 Oct 2011 after his POP. Time really flies. We did enjoy this Bangkok trip, exploring around, hunting for food and relaxing. 
We reached Changi Airport to check in and had our breakfast at KFC. Finally, I had gotten the chance to try KFC breakfast since it launched few months back in 2011.
A.M. Waffles & Eggs
A.M. Honey Biscuit
Our boarding pass
While waiting for our flight....

Ready to fly with AirAsia
Our first flight together
p/s: My dark circle....(◎_◎;)
Love the sky
After 2h plus, we saw land. Few more minutes, we would be in Bangkok and shouted, "Hello, Thailand. We are here!"
We reached Suvarnabhumi Airport and took cab to Citin Pratunam Hotel at Pratunam. Get the best quote from the cab driver to save cost. So sorry that I didn't take any pictures of the hotel and the room but it was really a nice and affordable hotel. This hotel introduced by his brother. It is a 4-star hotel and only $45 per night. We booked through Agoda. Click here to view more on the hotel room pictures - Citin Pratunam Hotel Bangkok. The facilities are really fantastic and the employees are so friendly and polite. Best is that it is located at the heart of Pratunam and really so convenient to travel around. We saved most of our transport fee because of that too. After we checked in and loaded our stuffed, we took Tutu ride to Mabukong Shopping Centre (MBK) for early dinner. It was raining that day too. At that time, most part of Bangkok were flooded but not the heart of Bangkok yet. Hence, some of the places we didn't manage to go.

There was night market beside Mabukong Shopping Centre (MBK). Out of curiosity, we went in to take a look. It was quite early and wasn't any crowds yet.


Some of the local delicacies...
Big prawns!
Hot dogs...

Warning: Below pictures will be disturbing if you don't like bugs.

 















 I only took pictures of you and after that, I felt like vomiting. I'm apologized. This is one of the Thai local delicacies and they have very high nutrients in it. If you dare to try, please try and tell me how does it taste like. (●__●)




 Then, we had dinner at MK Restaurant.

Green tea
Ready to tuck in
Their signature dish - Roasted duck

 I forgot what is this dish. It really tasty and nice.
Then we had Ice cream at one of their fast food restaurant.
Ys was posting with the ice cream happily.
Vanilla Ice cream with Strawberry syrup
We went window shopping at Mabukong Shopping Center (MBK) and then bought a lot of tibits back to the hotel for supper later. Don't know why the tutu outside this shopping center was much expensive than the cab. So, we took cab back to hotel.
Pink & Blue Tutu
There was street market on the street back to hotel. We bought this sweet cone and tried. It was a steam sweet cone. They mixed the sweet cones and coconut with some sugar and salt. We only ate the yellow sweet cone and coconut as we didn't know whether the black one was editable.
Sweet cone with Coconut
Some of the tibits that we bought. A lot of drinks. The chakuza was like Jolly Sandy and their milk tea was awesome sweet and milky.
Loots of the day
That's all for day 1 of our Bangkok trip. Stay tuned for day 2. Really missed Bangkok.
Good night, everyone.
Love.

Me, myself and I

I just realized I started this blog back then without any proper introduction of myself. Most of the time, I was complaining, writing my "emo" thought, random posts, etc. 

Here is the story of me, myself and I:
When I first came to Singapore, everyone thought that I'm Singaporean and I'm glad to hear that too. I came from another small country like Singapore and they also have $1 to $1 currency exchange. I was born in Brunei and grown up with my grandmother, parents and 3 little cute brothers. However, I'm holding Malaysia citizenship. When it came to self-introduction to anyone in any kind of events, people around would be confused about my origin. Why am I Malaysian but not Bruneian? Well, this is because I'm following my dad's nationality due to some policy. Are you confused now? Well, just remember I'm from Brunei as there is my hometown. I love this country as she is peaceful and stress-less place. I'm daughter of a baker/cake designer and a farmer/housewife.
  
When I first received my 'O' level result, I was sooooo disappointed in one of my subject. I couldn't get in Form 6 (Junior college in Singapore) but I did appeal for it. In the meanwhile, Republic Polytechnic came to my school for talk. I went and also attempted their entry test. It didn't stop there. My aunt whom is in Singapore told me that there are 5 polytechnics in total. Then my dad bought air ticket for me and flew me over for 1-2 weeks. It was my first time travel alone and pursued my study further. I received some priceless lessons from my aunt too. She taught me to be more independent and wanted me to handle my stuff on my own. I couldn't apply the rest of the polytechnics online because the application had already closed on the day I just gotten my results. Hence, my aunt asked me to appeal in. She helped me a lot on the appeal letter. After that, I had to submit it personally to all the admin office. Different polytechnic gave me different impressions. Singapore Polytechnic, I was lost for approximately an hour inside trying to find the admin office and way out. Even though with the map they provided and with a passerby's help. Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the slope!!!! Temasek Polytechnic, very cool school. Republic Polytechnic, a huge white box. Nanyang Polytechnic, when I came up from the escalator, my mind and heart told me,"I want to study here". All of them are unique and famous in some fields individually. After I had submitted everything, I went back to Brunei. I helped out in my relative's shop while praying for good news.

One day, my aunt called me and said,"Finally have some good news!" NYP accepted me!!!! I was so surprised and soooooo freaking happy inside and outside. It was a dream? Not it was not!!! I got into the school that my mind and heart told me. My dad bought me another ticket and came over here on 15 Mar 2008. And here was the start of another new chapter of my life.

First two months, I was staying at my aunt's house. Every time I would wait when there wasn't anyone at home and gave my mom a call. I missed my family so much and always ended up in tears. I wanted to hear my grandma's voice and only once. She said,"talk to me when you're back. I'm waiting for you. Do take of yourself....." And she started to cry. 16 years plus under their care and suddenly stepped out to a stranger place to live independently. It was really tough at first and slowly I had adapted to the environment. Made new friends and mostly Singaporean, speak like them, play like them, kiasu like them, take pictures like them and I'm proud of them. They are really awesome people. Love all of you, my lovely Singaporean friends.

Hopefully now you know who am I, me and myself, where I came from and why am I here. 
See you all soon in next post.
Love
