An escape to New Zealand, Working Holiday. My first step here, Queenstown.

Unsurprisingly, it took me ages to update about my excuse to escape from reality  working holiday.
Because I'm currently working exchange accomodation here in Kaikuora, so I have plenty of times.

I arrived at 23rd November 2016 and December is the first month of Summer. YES!! I am very afraid that I may not be able to cope with the cold, so, summer is good for me.

The next time of me having authentic malaysian breakfast in a kopitiam will be at least half year later.

I only brought 1 backpack, 1 small size luggage, and 1 Ukulele with me.

Bid goodbye with my loves.

I took Air British and Qantas airline from Singapore to Queenstown, transit in Australia.

Never get sick of it..

The airplane meals if you're interested in it. 

After 2 days of travelling, I arrived in Queenstown and amazed with its beauty. Also the beauty which pick me up from airport! xoxo. Thanks See Yin. 

Queenstown in Summer, Seriously? 

I think I had experience one of the weirdest summer this year. 

How to not fall in love with it? 

One more please. 

Where did I stay?

Xbase backpacker hostel. It's at the center of Queenstown.
Last time I booked it with NakedSleep website, which is cheaper but they still give you the exact the same service. But I checked it now, Xbase Queenstown is not in the list anymore.

The accomodation price fluctuate with the demands, usually in summer, the price will be higher.

P.s: Xbase hostel is a party hostel, there is a pub just down there on the ground floor. So if you're very sensitive to noise, better don't stay there.

伟大的实验动物。 白老鼠与马来西亚公民。

做Final year project 感想： 世界上最伟大的动物是实验室里的实验动物。谢谢你们。　


可回头想想，89，90年生-，好像也是马来西亚教育里的白老鼠。 教育制度说换就换。


所有人好像也是政治的白老鼠， 价钱说起就起，税务说加就加，都不懂真的有帮到国家的嘛。 


那样的话，我们好像比实验室里的白老鼠还惨。



幸苦啦， 马来西亚人。 

The cutest root in my life.

Better blog it down when the feeling is still intense in me, I rush to laptop once I reach home.


Today, I visit my grandma, popo. We always call her popo, or wang popo 王婆婆


Before popo fell down and had orthopaedic surgery, she was with us, stay with us for years, and she is my bed-mate, that's where the intimacy starts (even though she saw my naked body since I was a kid, and I barely remember that, so it doesn't count to me. But I know, popo sayang me the most a lot, as the youngest granddaughter that she has)

Before I stepped in the house, I can already hear my popo, praying super loudly. OMITOFU OMITOFU OMITOFU..  (My grandma is a Buddhist)

Then I saw her lying on the sofa, like this. 

And actually gave me a light slap when I first sit down near to her. And she didn’t stop praying still, then she told me, her gum pain. She wants to let me feel the pain. =.=  (after that, popo didn’t show any sign of pain or even mention the pain again. And I suspect, she actually hits me simply because she knows I took too long to visit her again. She is super smart today. How smart?! Please read below. 

I recorded a video of my popo praying very hard, failed to upload bcz of the size can't be coped by the tortoise speed of internet that my house subscribe to. The background omitofu was my mum, she prays with a rhythm, not bad, and my grandma follows the rhythm and actually got tired 喘 at the middle part and start laughing, exposing her almost toothless mouth.

Today, popo is smart! Very smart. So, my dad was asking her, does she want to sit up, instead of lying down on the sofa.

Then my grandma replied: I don’t wanna poo. Who said I wanna poo?

ME: No one said that. Who said that?

Grandma: Then, why he asked me whether I wanna sit up not, we only need to sit up straight when we wanna poo, who tells you we need to sit up when chatting with others. =.=  Why can’t I lye down talking to you. =.=

This wang popo, is super smart and alert today huh.

So rude ya, this photo. Hahaha.

 Throughout the talk, popo keeps hugging me, help me comb my hair with her fingers, tidy up my hair, slip my hair back my ears, She also keeps touching my face.. (Touching face is very commonly happened, my popo likes to touch people’s face, not just mine. But, running across my hair using her fingers, slip my hair back my ears is something unusual, rare to happen.)

Popo, held my hand with us crossed each others fingers. Then after few minutes, she complained, it was pain because we held too tight. hahaha. Then she starts mumbling I'm too skinny la, bla bla bla...

Popo talks a lot today, and she calls me mummy, and talks in 4 languages to me, Mandarin, Malay, Cantonese and hokkien. 

 Like this picture very much, even though it was bit blurry.

I mentioned just now that my grandma keeps touching my face right...

Then I asked grandma,

ME: popo, you got wash your hands not, after you poo poo. If you didn’t wash your hands, then my face habes liao..

POPO: 你都傻的， 我一定有洗手啦 ..  you are stupid izzit, sure I washed my hands.

 This is so popo. Popo always scold people like this. Hahaha. At one point, I think I’m really stupid, because I was laughing so hard when she scolded me like that. I used to get scolded before I sleep, because she was my bed-mate, I sleep with her every night, and she keeps scolding me for some tiny matters to me, but big matters to her. Such as why I am not wearing long pants to sleep, why I didn’t blow my hair dry, why I didn’t wipe my feet dry enough before I sleep. (Obviously, my grandma sees my future possible health problem such as headache, migraine as a big matter more than I perceived it) (and, popo, 99% of time, I will blow my hair dry before I sleep, I still don’t wear long pants: I guess that’s why I got dengue not long ago and I have not learned from the lesson yet)

Popo being generous, insists me to finish her cup of drinks. She is always like that, think of us about everything. 

My popo..

Not being recognized by her, and not have my name called out from her mouth is not something disappoints me anymore. (And to make me feel better, she always asks for me when I’m not around. I know she misses us a lot, her grandchildren. ) To see her talks so much and being so happy today makes my day.

My popo. I wish you live healthily and so happy and energetic like today.



Note to self: not to forget the roots, not to have even a moment of shame or mahuan, not to forget they are the people who raise us up and educate us. They sacrifice a lot for us.




突然想起 黄子华 的笑话：


你敢说我不负责任？！
我为了我父母那一刹那的快感，　负责任了二十多年，　你说我不负责任？！



哈哈，也对噢。


那就让我们负责任到底吧。
加油！

My Valentine's day

Hahaha. As usual. What's the date today?! haha. OK, Wanna blog this because I don't wanna forget.

hmm hmm *clear throat* I have a boy friend, Monkey that has been together with me for years, thanks God send a guy that can bear with me so much.

So normally couple spent valentine's day with their boyfriend or girlfriend alone right.

Which it's totally not in my case! hahaha.

I spent it with Monkey, of cz, and with his family like seriously?! hahaha.
Ya. I think it's sweet. <3

Ideal relationship is to be able to mix with my boyfriend's family members. Can play around.
Monkey's sister is my friend actually. because she is just one year older and we studied at the same secondary school. So, good for me! hehe.

All of them are super talkative, somemore I'm that kind of kepochi, haha.. we are in the same gang. Ooopsy. hahaha. Very 38 one lah. haha.

We had dinner at a restaurant in Strait quay. I seriously forgot the name of it lol. Now you know why I blog. I forget things easily. I guess by the time I get 30, I may not remember my own name wtf.
I once forgot about the anniversary date of Monkey and I!!! Sorry Monkey! But that time I was severely ill, somethings wrong with my brain, luckily my brain wasn't burnt out by fever. *excuse*

With his family.

 Elder brother, Lay Hwa (so much story can talk about when think of her. She is funny la) and me when my hair was long. *sob sob*

Me, Da Jie, Auntie and Lay Hwa.

 Lay Hwa looks nice in that dress. And there was a guy keep eyeing on her with his girlfirend just sit right in front him how dare him.

How can I not post a hiao hiao picture of him and I?!

Da ge, Monkey and me. Neh! that's the guy keep looking at Lay hwa, at the next table.

Foodporn's time.

Looks very nice. Okok only. As ussual, I forgot the name. Just wanna show you picture to makes you hungry.

 This is nice~~~!!!

 Nicest dish at that night!Please order this! and have it when it's still hot. It serves best when it is hot.

Fried mashed potato is nice! slurp slurp.

This picture looks gay! lol.

 Poor Monkey has to go buy Subway sandwich to eat while waiting. Bad idea to drive in Penang at night on Valentine's day. We jammed for 2 hours. =.=

Please appreciate the way I sit. Lay Hwa taught me how to post in the picture then only will look nice oh my god. Haha! how crazy this girl is. Haha! Funny la. So, basically we, girls, have to sit like bend our waist to the side to the max, then twist our shoulder straight front facing camera. OMG! haha.

This is the before and after the posing lecture by her. LOL.

Spot the difference! haha. 

I hope next year valentine's day, I still have Monkey celebrate with me. >.<

with love, I end this post.  

Cross The Sea

Like this picture because I look so happy. And I was really happy at that time also. The one hiding from camera is Yinyin, my beloved eldest sister.

Cross the sea to find my brother and sisters in Singapore. They are now working in Singapore. Poor Malaysian that can't work in his own country. I guess it's the trend, I have so many friends are now working in Singapore. I guess it would be easier to have a friends gathering over there compare to having in in Malaysia. Pathetic but true.
Singapore's offer is too irresistible. Working for same amount of time, but you earn SingDollars which has higher value.
Malaysia..

This is me! in one of the mall. I'm sorry, I can't remember any single mall name because I'm old. haha. Typical Foreigner, take photo at every place. FYI, it was in food court.

My handsome brother and elder sister, Yy. Yy is just 2 years older than me. In this family, she is the one who I talk to the most. She is more like my friend. I was a bullie when I was a kid, and she was the pemangsa. Every time we talk about it, I would laugh so hard that my eyes become a line and literally tear dropping. I couldn't believe she is still this close to me after being bullied that much by me. I guess this is "blood thicker than water".

 Awfully Chocolate! Love! small bite of ice cream, mouthful of chocolate taste give you foodgasm hahaha.
Awfully chocolate and Awfully face.
Come in a small paper basket!

So cute that YY brought me there and said things like this:
YY: When I first came here, I don't even have a penny in my pocket. Then Sister brought me here and bought a scoop of awfully chocolate. Yes, we only afford a scoop. When it melts in my mouth, I know, I must bring you here to taste how sweet, warmth moment taste like.

waaaa... No la, I made it myself. haha.

Yinyin (eldest) bought her a scoop of Awfully Chocolate. And there YY promised, when I first came to Singapore, she would give me the same treat just like that day.

And it was really nice and touching moment.

Luckily I'm the youngest! haha.

 OMG, Y my dad so young and handsome! Looks fit in the photo ya. hmmm, Not bad ya.

 A lot of people said we look the same. You think?

 Obviously my mum has something to say about it. hahaha! My mum is so cute! I'm very lucky because she is a good counselor. and she force her eyes open real big to take photo. She tends to close her eyes when taking photo. No idea why.

 Potato Chips dip with Chocolate.

Giving hint to my brother I want that. As usual, he either didn't see it, or ignore me. hahaha!

Para....Para...Paradigm

End this post with Sunshine smile!

Diwali Or Deepavali? My Happy D-Look

The best thing about being Malaysian is the exclusively high number of holidays!!
We have 3 major race living together and celebrating together.

At first I was told that I can visit Pakee on Deepavali day. Too bad I didn't confirm with him directly and I was super excited, even got henna tattoo on my hands and also bought Tilak.

Deepavali mood on!

And then I got the heart breaking news that this year his house is not opening for friends. *thunderstorm strike me deep down*

But, it's ok, Deepavali mood is not going to fade that easy. So, I still put Tilak on, wear pretty, instead of going to his house, we go Paradigm Mall!

 Last time I don;t really like henna but I like this one! So pretty! I mean henna.. hahaa
I like Indian clothes, accessories and art.
Trace back from LONG LONG time ago. Year 2010 Majlis Silaturahim, themed Bollywood.

Then I learnt Indian Dancing for the co-curiculum. Miss it so much.

Can recognise which one is me? haha.

Back to 2012. This year.
I got 3 of us put on Tilak. and Snap a picture! Happy practical and Happy holiday!! Everyone gone home except four of us.

 Bought this lovely hair pin while waiting for bus at pudu. Had it on my hair that day. Pink ribbon looks good always! #RibbonAddiction
