God has been faithful :)

Indeed he has been once more.

A week ago I was having really bad fever and headache till I had to be in bed almost 72 hours, 3 days fever which have not occur for nearly 9 years since I contracted measles in standard 5. Don't worry it's not the happening flu ( h 1 n 1)..However, the situation was intense since I had so many assignments due on that Saturday.

On the third night(Thursday) mommie took care of me the whole night cause if the fever was staying to the forth day I might have to go to the hospital for a blood examination. I was on traditional medication(jamu), Lime and honey juice, and porridge only,had totally lost of appetite. Flu and cough came on the 3rd and 4th day phlegm stayed for another week. It was a miracle how the really bad headache left after a good purging at the toilet @ 3 in the morning after continuous 3 hrs -3 hrs Jamu the 3rd day.

Thank You Mommy!

You made time for me thought busy!

Friday morning Hallelujah! no more fever jumping like a monkey! I manage to get ready for my presentation and got a 4.5/5 for my assignment. My God can do wonders isn't he? ^-^ V.

Confession: I broke down during the week for I thought history was going to repeat. I thought I was going to flung and give up my course (I have a history of giving up before failing, stupid huh?). He held my hand all the way and pulled me up again through all the sickness and trials. Then this week did I only realise that he was preparing me physically,mentally and spiritually cause my mom was going away for a week to melbourne.

Congratulations to my beloved Koko and Eri Jiejie!

My Favorite Suzhou

Maple Tree

Everyone has their preference of their favorite and I go for Suzhou.

In my opinion Suzhou gives me the feeling like when I was at Melbourne and a little bit of Petaling Jaya- Home. It has everything you need and it's not too buzzy.

I couldn't rate Suzhou any less as it's a tick for everything. Specialities, weather, food and for guys pretty girls ! So sad no good looking guys perhaps my taste are towards Caucasian guys so, no guys to gaze at.

Ever wonder the secret to the beauties of Suzhou girls? The answer is simple - Silk worms!! They consume their traditional supplements which consist of nutrients made from silk worms, wear clothes made of silk and used blankets made from silk !! What a way to pamper oneself. The tour guide mention that in a way the protein in silk still remains therefore people's skin gets better after using silk. In fact the comforter made from silk could help to prevent arthritis "fong sap" same concept as how the silk worm protects itself from winter.

God's creation is so beautiful and great when you think of how a simple living insect can bless in so many ways. Right from the beginning of it's life circle could be used as supplements,nutrients, comforter, bed spread, cloth and clothing....

The process of making silk really impressed me. It made me wonder who was the founder that found a way of creating silk from silk worms - a genius. Our tour guide lady "xiao zhou" said there was no definite person it was a tradition pass down from their ancestor.

Now lets not scream when talking bout food. Which Malaysian isn't a food lover. My family and I were well brought to dine for lunch at this most well known noodle shop in Suzhou.

Story Behind

They say this place used to be a stop for the Chinese Emperor. Therefore the people here strive their best to create the most delicious noodle for the emperor which is called "soo tong poh mian".

PaMio and Johninho

From the noodle, to the non-halal meat- pork and to the essence of the soup could make people fly to cloud nine - it was incredibly delicious!! The noodle was bouncy and Slurpee smooth, the pork meat was marinated till the finest and the soup was so tasty! Definitely not MSG cause Chinese people at china don't really used them I feel that they are pretty authentic in their food it's either tasteless or tasty. Unlike Malaysian food where hawkers puts heaps of MSG and after eating our lips becomes really dry, most of the food in china that we had the chance to try didn't made our lips dry and cracky after meal therefore i strongly believe it's NOT MSG, totally pure freshness? They even gave us the side dish which was a marinated fish and was one of the best fish cuisine I've ever tasted. It was sweet and salty.

In Suzhou we also visited a famous architect's building, his name is I.M PEI. He migrated to America when he was young and became a well-known architect. He designed his last building, a Museum at his hometown Suzhou right beside a mansion his family last live in. It was pretty impressive.

Inside the Museum

We visited a few Traditional Chinese Houses which have pretty much similarities to the baba nyonya houses in malacca for the interior. Whereby males gets more attention more extravagance added to their belongings. Female gets more simple settings. So grateful the world is changing.

Stone Maze

No ordinary Stone. It's thousand years old stones that are dug out from the Lake.

How many Lion Heads can u see from the stone?

"Soo Tong Poh" Garden

Your Wish is Under My command. Blueks

a Temple and a wishing bell

Koko At the Park

After dinner, we visited this area that has a Singapore Orchard Street concept. The reason to thisis because this part of Suzhou has many investors from Singapore. Therefore the Government has somewhat dedicate this place to them. It's a pretty place with colourful lights and a beautiful lake.

We could roam the whole place till Sunrise but it was time to leave with a heavy heart we hop up our half full tour bus.

Our Hotel

Time for a rest after a fun day :)

The Best of Shanghai

As said by our tour guide Shanghai is a “grey scale TV” in the morning. There was much to distress since almost everywhere was dusty, hazy making skyscrapers that were spouting here and there in this fastest growing city cool but rather dull looking. It puts salt to the wound when the majority of Shanghainese you encounter with were crude and uncivil. However just by the breath taking view of the city at night where the tour guide call it the “Colour TV”, you forget everything and absorbed by the world around you.

with love,
pamelyn

why things don't change. *confuse

Certain things don't change
perhaps prayer would help
but every word heard
is againts it
it's ugly to be heard
is it me or her?
though my mouth confess
it's her and not me
surely it's me
it takes 2 hands to clap
only wish i could learn to give in
hmm..can't understand my own actions
how many more years only will things be different?
totally getting tired of this type of situation.
I need a total transformation.

qUEER fLIP-FLOPS

Googling for images to go with the flash cards I'm making for my mandarin lesson plan.

Look what I've found?

FISH FLIP-FLOPS

Would you actually wear one of this? Though it looks super adorable i doubt i would. Bravo to the photographer or designer to this. You are certainly one creative lad. LOL

or what about

GRASS FLIP FLOPS

Interesting huh?

not really practical but certainly queer n funny!

Leadership

Im on a Quest to build the leader in me.
As you can see
I’m a small and petite person
the squeaky voice that I “claimed” to have not helping much either
It has always been in the way for
bringing down my self esteem
and instead of building the confidence in me
it crushes my hope and crumbles my dreams
but today i'll take baby steps to bring out the leader in me.

Goal: to be a righteous leader.

Art For Children Subject.

Conducted by Dr. Abu Talib n En. Khairudin

Is my favorite when it comes to practical (not theory) besides Child Development sub. by Dr. Datin Jamaluddin n Language Art by Prof. Mazlan.

The Art for Children (Theory) Lecturer can put us to sleep with his dull tone and unhearable voice *sigh . Nevertheless we are always looking forward for practical lessons cos that's when Adults get to have fun like KIDS !!!

Then and there, we were asked to use our BARE hands n NO Brushes to produce an Art Piece !

Mind boggling, some images popping in and out. I was very tempted to be done with a bubbly and passionate kindergarten painting (Eg. Butterfly, Chicken, Peacock) where one can use the shape of their hands to stamp and create an animal figure maybe? - I refused! a vase of Rose was what came first in mind whereby i can stamp using the bottom of my fist (the swirl) when you clench your palm so i went all out just taking lumps of paint n smudging n spreading on the art paper with ma fingers! my fist was small n the rose didn't look like rose. Initially, i was disappointed and smudge the roses.. i then decided to just use finger prints to make petals and little did i realise i was absorb into the World of Van Gogh.

HAve you ever tried painting with your BAre Hands?? Try! It's so fulfilling compared to using brushes. It was limit-less of expression, fun and joyous moment! Jane and I couldn't stop proclaiming the joyfulness of getting our hands dirty.

TaDAA!

(realising different fingers for different effects. Even printing with the tip of your nails or scratching the lumpy paint dreadfully on the art paper was something else) *evil laugh.

Signing off for the day,

My 1st Event Job for the Ox Year

MiFF 2009

The Economy downturn little did I know that is getting worse until i heard from people around me of how slow businesses is these day.

Well, that's the furthest of my concern cause what matters most this time of sacrificing not taking care of my own business and taking care of other people business has to have a good reason to do so.

I'll have to thank Miff for the opportunity to be involved in their international business once again and how a great event acquires great teamwork from all departments.

Tomorrow will be my last day at work I plan to make full use of the leave taken from mom to work OT for them.

Overall of this whole week of event I made a conclusion of different faces of behavior/ attitude people faces intentionally or unintentionally during the event.

I realize that there are people who are really very professional when they are working. In some way they are able to focus on their task "seriously" and tackle them perfectly claim and skillfully. All at once, able to socialize well with their colleagues and perform their duty for the day.

Secondly, there are people who seek “Fun” in all they do even at work till unintentionally tend to slack. Let’s just say they really enjoyed their day but they know at the end of their day they have achieve so-so or even more insensitively – learn nothing at work but had great fun with people around them!

There are also people who can switch to “working mode” and when the clock hits time's up “work is over” switches to their “happening mode” and make lotsa monkey noise and fun. I really envy this bunch. :)

Try guessing which face am I? Do comment which face are you or which one do you want to be or tend to be or are you all of them? :P thanks!

P/s no pictures yet...Stay tune.

XoXo
