飞跃

今天是闰日但英语把那个day拿掉剩下leap就是大步跨过去的意思。也没什么特别的，但是对于这个词汇我爱。因为大学参加了AIESEC这个社团让我认识了step out of your comfort zone这类词语。

从小妈妈就爱把家里的孩子送去营，不管是佛教的或基督教的，只要是她觉得还不错的都不会错过。以前，我从来不明白为什么要把钱花在这一块，一个营不便宜。在营里，吃的肯定不会很好，觉也不会让你睡很多，在那里认识到的人就在营里友好但随着营的最后一天友情也宣告死亡。我一年参加营的次数可高达３到４个！对一个小孩（１０岁－１７岁）这算瞒多的，她可要读书，应负考试，更多的是要假期和玩耍。

长大了这才渐明白妈妈的一番苦心。她只是要培养我们的纪律，让我们渐渐成长中灌输了一些些的智慧与常识，更是要我们独立。我后来才明白，原来我比一般人还要坚强的多。

还记得进大学的第一天，父母载了我一程后就冲冲忙忙的离开了。他们在赶路，我明白的。一天来回雪兰莪及槟城，以爸爸的开车速度至少花上半天的时间。

我一个人笨拙的打扫房间，把带来的东西一一摆上。那时还因此被室友的妈妈称赞，怪不好意识的。本来以为很正常的事就因为一句赞美的话而顿时感到光荣起来。想了想，还是谢谢妈妈一路的栽培与培养。

赞美的话不要嫌多，觉得好就要称赞。这一来能散播正能量，更重要的是他人能受到肯定而提高自信心。

今年可是我大学生涯的最后一年了（说了那么多次也应该听腻了吧 XD ）。大家都在忙着毕业作品。但有些人已经提前做完，说不定在找就业机会了，而我还坐在船上让它随着风和海浪漂流。

没有目标便没有目的地，我是知道的。

我要飞跃！我要飞跃！

今年是我的飞跃年！就像我给我自己的标签，一个有梦想的女孩 (A girl who dream big)。虽然梦还不在，但你们等着瞧，小个子的我也会创出一片天的因为我相信 :)

Alone

Loneliness kill but you will get through it one day, they said.

But,

what if you got used to being alone

too comfortable with it you no longer want to hang out with friends.

Is this stepping out of comfort zone you question yourself

you are now brave enough to eat alone

independent enough to settle things

but you seems so lonely.

You used to care about how people look at you

you don't want to be the awkward ones

you want to be like the norm

do whatever they do

and act like it's common/normal

but now it doesn't seems to matter much more

cause you want to feel comfortable yourself

even if it isn't

you don't want to get yourself into troublesome.

You once love to be surrounded by people

squeeze into the crowd

dance and sing aloud

although everything look ugly for view

you forget how to dance gracefully

you even sing out of key

but you enjoy that much especially countdown

but no one seems to love crowded place

you have no accompany

and you go back to being alone.

Dong Zen, Jenjarom

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! It's the last second day of Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is always a time for gathering, with old friends, with relatives, house visiting, gambling, eating, fireworks, praying, temples, etc.

One of the temple my family visit every Chinese New Year. Every year, Dong Zen temple is decorate with different light and deco. It's beautiful to take photo on the day and at night it's time for lanterns. This is my family, we are playing along with the new selfie stick my sister got. It's work so much easy to take a group photo of people with this selfie stick, you can still have that beautiful view in the photo not only everyone's head. (Btw, normal photo is still taken using camera ;))

I love this big lotus on top with the blue sky view and peacock on top although not sure what it suppose to symbolize or should there be one?

This caught my attention too, monkeys on the roof! It's my zodiac and the monkey is cute, it's Sun Wukong, the monkey is with a crown and it's under the arm of Buddha.

More monkey on the way.

It's not all about monkey, there are other animals too.

And here's us with our own zodiac :)

There are lanterns everywhere on top and it's beautiful without flashlight but person goes dark.

Oh, I love this particular candid shot, it's candid cause I'm not ready yet, combing not posing XD

The recycle bottle placed on the bottom of bush no one will notice but beautiful.

Another side of the Dong Zen. This temple is big! So many Sun Wukong this time.

And more monkeys hanging on top.

We siblings love to take photo and snap just everything! More photos below which is blurred and not so pretty but I just want to post it out cause we are having fun.

And the hall itself.

Enjoy your last day of Chinese New Year for one last minute of receiving angpow perhaps? But guess I'm old enough for not wishing more, I favor gathering and talks more these day :) And I been eating a lot during Chinese New Year, as in non-stop eating, there's so many to eat I couldn't stop, of course gain weight. So now that I'm back in Penang, I'm always hungry! Forgot to bring a few snack up here so I guess I might at well start keeping fit? Give me some time.

Final year of study for a degree and I am off to work next year! Long way to go still I know but I have friends that are finding jobs now. People tends to be kiasu or it's the environment that make us become more competitive. Either way, I currently don't have a plan yet and been in front of my laptop for more than 12 hours everyday make me sick :( I'm going to improve on that, for a new year!

Happy Chinese New Year to the zodiac of monkey! Cheers everyone to a good start :)

Another day at Sekinchan

Hi hi, would love to write another post on Sekinchan as good food and good photo are supposed to be shared. *smile wide wide* Been writing a few post on Sekinchan, you can check it out by clicking the label. *wink*

This post is a mixture of food and site, I just combine the remaining photo and make it a post :)

Here's where we had our brunch at Guan Hwat. a house business kind of restaurant where the villagers normally visit, not so tourist afterall with their old furnish and not catchy look sign. It's located beside Jiann Chyi restaurant btw. No queue required that day, whee! Cause it's still too early for meal I guess, we had our rice at 11am! Here's a few photo I took.

Pu er tea

Gung po sotong

Shark meat

Steamed lala

The food is overall good and it's cheap! We spent RM64 for all the dishes above with 5 bowls of rice.

Next stop is the beach, we didn't stay long as the weather is pretty hot. We walk around the store and had bowls of ice.

The wishing tree with more red ribbons :)

Laying all day long on the hammock, what a life~

And the view on top

That's all for this. For more Sekinchan post click on the label below and it will refer you to a few other post. Sekinchan is on my list to visit and revisit for their food. The relaxing and slow pace life without the hot weather of course will be great for an escape.
