Aftershocked (TangShan Earthquake)

唐山大地震 (Aftershocked/ TangShan Earthquake)

A movie directed by 冯小刚 from China regarding the most serious earthquake ever happen in the world in 1976, 28 of July, 3.42am.

More than 30 million people were death in this incidents. It is an non erasable memories for all the people that had survived from that/who have witnessed this natural disasters.

The movie begins with a twin bro & sis were living happily with their parents in TangShan. Before the earthquakes, most of the people saw there are many dragonflies that fly across the street, which that never happen before. At the same day midnight, the earthquake has happen. The father of the twin bro-sis are scarified when he tried to get into the building to safe his children. Both the bro-sis were trapped under a concrete and waiting for rescue.

Here comes the tough decision for the mother. Both the bro-sis were trapped under the same concrete and rescue team was unable to save them both. Mum has to make a choice to choose either the boy or the girl. At the end, she has chosen to save the boy. The girl heard exactly what the mother said. Her heart was so broken after that.

At the end, she was survived in a miracle. But the decision made by her mum was just affected so much of her life. It changes her personality from a hippy to a person who resist to communicate. After the earthquake, she was adopted by a soldier family. She can't forgot what her mum did to her although she was still young at that time.

She told nothing about this incidents to her step father and mother. This makes her step father and mother though that she might have a post-traumatic symptoms, which cause her memories lost about all before and during the earthquake.

But one day, in a very rare occasion, he told her step father that, she did not mention a word regarding this to them is not because she had forgotten all her past. The main reason is because she can't forget what had happen.

For those who hasn't watch this movie, i recommended this so much to all of you guys. It's a very touching movie and i believe, after watching this movie, you'll know how blissful you're right now. As what the mum quoted in the movie "you'll never know what you lost until you lost them. that so call a lost"

Welcome 2011

I was away from home for the past few year during the new year. I was traveling around with friends and also stuck in Australia during my Uni time.

This is the 1st year i'm back again, celebrating new year with my family. Since dunno when, i started to hang out more with friends than my parents. I use to feel that, i'm more close than my parents than my friends because they understand what i'm trying to do and say. Besides, from the way we communicate, we're under the same channel.

But when days go by, i start to have a feeling that i need to spend more time with my parents. May be because when i saw them getting older, i have a fear of losing them. It seems like i'm having a race with the death rep, i wish i have another 30 more years to be with them before the track has come to the end.

Nothing much special for me this year, no gathering, no fireworks seeing. Just the 3 of us, have a meal and watched movie at home together. Enjoy the time being together, i bet this is the best i can show my appreciation towards them.

May happiness will always be with them. Health and Wealth come after next.

Happy New Year, Welcome 2011

20 Nov

It's 20 of Nov again...
The date remains the same for me every year besides, the last 4 digits are increase when time goes by....

My 20 of Nov started to be different 7 years ago...
It's a day that full with happiness and sadness
For me, particularly.

7 years ago,
I was sitting for my SPM (O-level) exams
My ever last paper was held on 20-Nov...
It is Chemistry Paper 3

I remembered in the early morning
All of the candidates were still studying all the experiments we did for the past 2 years..
Hopefully all the Purpose of the Exp, Hypothesis, Observation, Steps, and Conclusion were written correctly.

It was in the afternoon..
We heard the school bell rings...
Followed by the exam invigilator's voice:
"Masa dah sampai. Sila letak pan atas meja dan berhenti menulis" (Candidates, Times Up. Please stop writing and put your pen on the table"
That's the most happy moment we all share...
Finally... SPM was finished!!!
SPM was finally done within 3 weeks.
We're all graduated from high school and...
Parties come Later...!!

For me...
I'm happy because the exams were done
But something makes me more excited than the exam was finish
Today it's my boyfriend's birthday as well... =)
I can't wait to celebrate and meet him at the corner of our floor's corridor.
He told me he needs to celebrate with his friends today... he'll call me again..
But, it doesn't matter...
I'm going to Mid-Valley to grab him presents.
I gonna buy him a special thing after months of money saving.
After i got the present, i even delivered to his house and pass to his mum.
I went home happily.....
It was the ever bliss and happiest moment i had...
The guy that i fall in love for my ever 1st time..

Night time..
He called me in the middle of night.
I remembered it was just 10 past 12.
It takes for a while for him to tell me the truth:
"He wants to break up with me"

20 of Nov
That's a day that full with happiness and sorrows..
For me, at least it is..

My ever 1st Winter

Winter
It is the 1st time i experienced how winter is like
It was 3 years ago
It was 2007 July
I would never know how winter is going to be until i left Malaysia
To continue my study in Perth, Australia

During Winter Time
Night comes a lot earlier than i though
Stars are on the sky when it's 530pm.
Luckily that i was not walking home alone after class

During Winter Time
It is cold
no matter day or night
sometimes it comes with rain
sometimes it comes with just strong wind
Although Sun is out there
But i still have my scarf surrounded on my neck
And long thick jumpers

During Winter Time
We, a bunch of us
We love to go to China Town
And have Steamboat for our dinner
Sitting at the round table with beers and hot steam soup
That's the ever best you can have in the Winter

During Winter Time
You just lazy to wake up in the early morning
you're just too depend on the heater in your room
Rolling under your thick blanket
You'll curse someone that arrange your lecture class at 8am.
Sometimes hot shower doesn't make a good different
You're still sleepy after all

This is my winter experience
That i will never forget for my life.
Although Australia is not snowing
I still can feel the winter is coming.
I miss the winter that i had before...

Crab Island 1 day trip

I was invited to Crab Island (as so called as Pulau Ketam) last Sunday by a friend who grown up there. 14 of us were gathering at Port Klang and then heading towards "crab island" by shuttle boat.

Crab island is famous of it's crab (this is for sure) and all the houses are built up on the muddy land. You can't get any cars on that place but only bicycle and motorcycle because the road was too narrow, it just won't fit in a car. However, you'll find many boats, sampan (canoe), speed boat, and ferry.

<---- We're on the ferry to the end of the village


We are lucky because the weather on Sunday was awesome. It was a great Sunny day without much sun shines and the most important is, it didn't rain at all as most of our activities has to be conducted in an outer space.

We had Pulau Ketam's most famous Nasi Lemak, Chicken rice, Shrimp cake and some Yao Cha Kuih before we proceed for "crah fishing". I won't called this activity as Crab catching because we're not "catching" the crab by net or bucket but, we make our own "fishing rod" to "fish" the crab. It was really a challenging task which requires tons of patient. At the end, i manage to "fish" two little one.

Crab "Fishing" .

The views along the island is awesome, you can still find buildings which are built on with very deep Chinese culture. Besides, the people in the island are nice as well. They're very friendly to us and even buy/make us food.

But there is one thing i do not like it for so much. Pulau Ketam is just like a trash can. Everyone can throw any rubbish on the ground, even pee and poo on the land. That's yucky, isn't it?
I have a joke with a friend (tong) who came along with me and we both agreed that: all the seafood we going to have later, they grown up by eating "sai" (poo). So, indirectly, we're consuming shit as well...
It sounds very gross, but in fact it's truth..

I'm glad that i have a chance to visit this small village and i hope in future, i got a chance to come back again.
