tired...

sometimes i wish that i could run away from it all..

run from things that don't matter... run from people that don't matter..
i wish i could turn back time, to when things were much more peaceful..


maybe i'm just too excited about seeing my bro next week.. but, i'm starting to miss home..somewhat.. and that feeling came all of a sudden when i thought about roti canai... *sigh* ... somehow it still boils down to food with me :p

one last hurdle before a few weeks of relaxation...then a few weeks of cramming...a few days of exams, a few days hours of packing, a few days of waiting.. and then..


and then, i'm home :)

"whoooosh" is the word B)

Colours of Malaysia 2011...

Last week the Edinburgh Malaysian Student's Association organised the 5th (if i remember correctly.. if not the the 5th then the 7th ._. ) Colours of Malaysia event... games, food, performances, showcasing Malaysia's culture.... but of course, the main reason i went was for the food :3

anyways!

There was quite a variety of food available... chicken rice, nasi lemak, fried bihun, milo, onde-onde, agar-agar, red bean soup!! , curry, penang laksa, prawn cucur ..etc..
I only had a 5 pound coupon to spend so i had chicken rice, fried bihun i tapau-ed, one piece of prawn cucur which was not worth it at all hrmph... and red bean soup which was very worth it :)

I was a little bit disappointed with the event to be honest... it felt like the venue was too small.. it was very cramped.. and for me it was a little too informal.. a friend told me she felt it probably wasn't meant to be too formal but had more of a carnival feel.. but i still felt like.. even if it was supposed to be like a carnival... it didn't explain the emcees' extent of informal-ness.....
would you make a kinda "inside joke" statement on stage when there are so many people who are not within your circle/would not understand your statement attending the event? -.- ...
the good thing was, quite a few non-malaysians attended the event and they enjoyed themselves with the performances.. :)

But having said that... i enjoyed the food.. and i'm not trying to be mean and critical but.. i just wish it could've been done better so that it reflects well on our country, our people..

on a sidenote, the semester is ending soon!!!!!! feeling anxious, afraid and excited all at the same time :S

Sawadee ka.... :3

all the while i've wanted to learn as many foreign languages as possible.... even a few phrases was good enough to satisfy me..
so i tried to learn some japanese..some french..some italian..can't say i've been very successful but hey, it's work in progress anyways :p ..more recently i made sure i take learning mandarin more seriously coz after all.. i am a chinese...

what i NEVER thought i'd want to learn was ... Thai...
it used to be something we joked about at home.. coz the "sawadee ka" in hokkien sounds like something else XD ...
But then i went to visit Chinli and got introduced to her Thai friend.. who showed us a nice Thai movie.. before that movie the only other thai show i've watched was Coming Soon, an epic fail of a horror movie but it managed to be a good comedy...haha.. but i have since watched another thai movie, one that made me cry even... :/
And somehow i felt like i wanted to know more..i wanted to be able to understand what they spoke.. i wanted to watch a thai movie without the subtitles...

i actually want to learn the thai language.... ._. ...

perhaps it may seem like a small matter.. yes.. it is a small matter..but.. i'm just surprised at myself..that's all :/ ..
