Draco Cheerleading 2012

Yup. You read it right. I joined this cheer team in the very last minute.
I only trained with them for about a month or so.
Probably the biggest achievement of my life so far...as we won 1st runner up in cheerleading for IMU cup!

This is the first and last medal that I could ever own from a sport event.

I am not a sport person, I can't jog and run, can't swim, can't play table tennis, basketball, netball and all others.

Cheerleading is the only sport I love. 

Before I join this team, I always pay them visit during their training sessions. I really feel grateful that I could have the second chance to join this team and compete for Draco house once again. Practically, Christina and Ee Von are like my fairy godladies because they make my dreams come true. 

Even though I join this team quite last minute as in A MONTH AGO, I scare I couldn't bond well with my team mates. But actually that is an unnecessary concern because turns out we bonded quite well actually. 

Ivan, me, Zaidah and Philip (My stunt team-Team Cullen)

Before the announcement of results, we actually been informed that we probably get 4th place. (same as last year) first thing I thought is we are jinxed because last year we also perform as the fourth team turns out we get fourth place. fck. so I thought this year too. we get fourth..after all the hardwork, sweat and tears and people's face been kicked..I cried.

Turns out everything is a prank. from our coach.

but still , we were all holding hand together and pray that we really score a chance to be on top 3, when the emcee announced that DRACO is on 1st runner up.

I jumped up and scream like nobody business.

I cried. (again).

and I cursed in my heart. fuck, i really win something this time.omg i gonna walk on that stage.

and Thanks to Philip and Ivan for making my dream come true.

hahahahha. 

我不爱运动，但我爱……

我是个好吃懒动的人，非常不爱做运动。
因为最不喜欢气喘到要死的那个感觉。

小时候，体育课对我而言就是无聊。
要么不是一大堆人在广阔的草场上跑；不然就是老师会搬一些器材让同学们自娱自乐。
我是属于坐在草地闲聊的运动。

不知道八岁那年的那个老师看中了我什么特质，
居然让我参加校队韵律操。
女同学觉得韵律操是一定要有某些程度的人才能参加；
男同学这是觉得女生能够把自己拗得跟藤圈一样是非人。

拉筋，伸展，一字马，倒立，拱桥……各式各样的招数我都学过。
但是半桶水，因为在家从来都没勤劳的在拉筋。
神奇的是，我也代表学校参加过校际组合比赛。

以前的我，绝对没有想过……22岁的自己会自动报名参加马拉松比赛。
还好，我每次都只是参加10KM。
而且每次一开跑后就会后悔得骂自己为什么要花钱让自己辛苦。
因为懒惰也不怎么练习，搞得10KM也要花比较长的时间完成。

每一次比赛结束以后，就会有一股莫名的满足感。
虽然不曾拿过什么名次，但是那种终于完成的感觉很好。

就像在拉拉队，完成所有STUNT之后，在那块地毡上爆发的兴奋呐喊，感受在场每一位观众的呼叫声，想起2个月的神经质地狱似的疯狂操练，一切都是值得。满身瘀伤，就是骄傲的证明。因为，拉拉队是我从来都没想过我也能伸一脚的活动。
也是我以后会一直怀念的运动。挑战人类肢体学的东西，是很神奇。

大学以后接触了拉丁舞。以前看电视觉得那些舞者摆动的姿势都很厉害，亲身学过以后觉得还真的不容易。拉丁舞其实改变我很多，我虽然是狮子座，爱表现，但是却又害怕出错而退缩，但是看着人家表现却又在想：我或许都能像她一样。现在慢慢开始会放开自己一直锁着的性格，所以拉丁舞需要的那种豁达，我还在学习着。

我其实不爱运动，但是却对运动以后的成就感有些Love Hate。
所以我专挑看起来像在干别的的，事实上，每次把自己累得要死都在笑的活动。

Hello, Mr. October

Well, the title speaks.
I still have my memories stucked at Chinese New Year , my little niece and nephews, St. Patrick's day and whatever now suddenly I reached the last quarter of the year 2012.

and my semester going to end after next week.
Toughest semester so far. Less subject but all subjects are very difficult.
I finally understand what Nutrition and Dietetics about when I reached sem 5:

counselling stimulated patient.
Study the core : Medical Nutrition Therapy
Research Proposal

Basically all these kind of prepare myself (mentally) about what I might ended up with.

Like this.

Having first batch of our senior graduated certainly bring some motivation.

A little update about whats going on around that I supposed to blog about but I didn't: 

Met Dennis Yin last June and Anthony Neely in the same event <3 p="p">

ND night last June

St.John Ambulans Malaysia Southern Selangor Area (AWESOME) Charity dinner 15/9/2012

Service for Mankind

Went to other area's charity dinner.

Uni's charity run.5km

Ok i know is quite inappropriate updating this blog with some old photos but it actually something that I should have mention earlier. Sorrey!

I personally think this fortune cookie is not accurate.

I don't feel any richer this year (so far) ! hahahaha

Happy Mid-Autumn to everyone!

BKK, Thailand > Luang Prabang, Laos PDR (1)

Well, embrace yourself for this photos-flooded post. I registered myself in a humanitarian expedition by my university to Luang Prabang, Laos PDR 2 months ago. and yes, this is first post after my last updates. sorry for the laziness, not sure if anyone still care reading about it but this is the trip I must blog about. Which ...kinda remind me of my half blogged 2011 Aus trip. o.O

In case you not sure where is Laos, is a land-lock country in between Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and China. 

in Chinese language,we know Laos as 辽国/寮国/老挝(wo1).

Anyway, I wouldn't thinking about visit this country if I never join the expedition trip. Original route in the itinerary was from KL to Vientiane (capital of Laos) and 10 freakinhours bus to Luang Prabang and a boat trip to the village. So me and 2 of my friends decided to take an alternative route by entering Bangkok and a non-stop flight to Luang Prabang the next day morning.

First visit to Thailand. :) I am the rare species of Malaysian who never visit Thailand before. 

First sight of love about Bangkok is the cleanliness of the street. 

Nice bathroom/toilet area of our hostel at Silom.

Must prove that I was there. 

Those wires doesn't make this city less beautiful. :)

Tom Yummmmm 

BTS ride to visit Chatuchak market.

the small icon with some yellow colour is the sign stated that: This seat is priority to Monks. 

The market.

A bit regret on not wearing sunglasses and sunblock :)

50 baht (~RM5) for this one big cup of ice coffee from a road side stall. Taste better than SB/CB/SFC or other coffee houses in Malaysia.

Colourful street view :)

Siam Paragon's hypermarket

self-service salad bar, of course you need to pay.

Sausages. *Drooling*

Dinner at some random local Chinese wantan mee shop. here ends our Bangkok one day trip :)

our dinner.

15th July. Ready to check out.Lobby of Saphaipae hostel. Clean, nice, comfortable, affordable stay.

Heading to airport. Jokes: Taxi driver thinks I am a Thai.

Survanabhumi airport.

simple breakfast before boarding

On shuttle bus to our flight. Fish and Vanessa

Lao Airline.

Compact yet more LEG SPACE compare to..ahhem. 

snacks.

Reaching. 

Luang Prabang international airport. which requires 5 minutes driving distance from where the plane landed. 

Heading to boat ride.

Mr. Peter, project coordinator. Thanks for all the arrangement of transport and accommodation. 

You're looking at Mekong River.

Welcoming ritual. (photo taken by Hwei Ming) and this was the morning before we arrived. Just to show how they welcome their guests. 

Muang Kham Village's multi purpose hall.

is a free case village. which means, is totally safe for you to have your front door unlock and your kids running around. 

Lunch by host lady (we addressed her as Meh-mee) and her cook 'team'.

Vanessa and kids from the village

Our accommodation at the host family house number 2.

Kids were so happy cz they have new friends to play with.

Mr. Peter brought us to visit the schools and their library. We gonna paint their library and make it look like one with books. Previous batch built the library but due to time constraint, they couldn't finish the entire thing.

Classroom. 

The one and only football field /assembly place.

Kids are enjoyed themselves following us up and down. 

Their playground.

Convenient stall. is 24/7. better than 7-11. You can just knock the door whenever you need even when it is closed. Laos currency is in Kip.which is unavailable for exchange in M'sia or precisely, outside Laos PDR. 

Tips: exchange your money to US dollar/Thai Baht before entering Laos and exchange it back to Thai Baht or USD before you leaving , or else, those Kip you bringing home will be worthless. ($1 USD = ~8000Kip) 

to be continued. cheers
