Tired But Happy

Yesterday, during the whole afternoon, the Academy R people including me helped out for the Tadika Seri Soka gathering. The guys help with the Stage Management Group while the girls help the kindergarten teachers with the students. They are so cute and adorable. These two are the pictures of after helping out the whole afternoon.


Although it is a tiring day for us, but at least we had fun and learn something from it especially commitment and patience.

Gambateh Academy R. Let's go on with every single thing that we may encounter.

Last thing to say.

Sometimes we have doubts and worries but we still gotta deal with them. It's true. There's no such thing as no problems in life. Problems even though bring us more tension, we have to go through with it and how to fix it. That applies in our daily life.

The Start of Something New

Well. The new semester start already.

Just got to know about the fees to go LJMU. I mean the price might raise quite a lot. I thank my parents for giving me the support for me to further studies. Even the time my parents talks about it when having a conversation with them.

Pitch presentation for PR campaign is next Friday. I mean all of a sudden. One week to prepare both presentation and proposal. Coursework mark higher than the final exam mark.

Writing strategy. Ok ok only. It's just have to write out something. 5 of them in this semester.

Thesis also need to deal with it. Having a hard time with the literature review even though found the journals already.

Of all these. I decided to pull out from Encore and concentrate on my studies and Gakkai activities. Even the YWD back at PJ, I gotta do something about it.

Well, at the beginning, look easy. However, as time goes by, things will be pretty rough and more busy than I could imagine.

Those things are not gonna tumble me down. I'm going to do my very best until the end.

Like the title say "start of something new". There's always something new that we start from and learn from it. As we learn, we understand and deal with it. Also, using them for other purposes in the near future. Look forward and never look back.

GuiLin Day 4


It was a fun time in the morning at the Merryland Theme Park reminds me Disneyland where I've been to Paris the last time when I was a teenager. This theme park including the resort is run by one of the well-known Taiwan company.










Cute farm animals at the park.





I bought 2 soft toys from that place. Cheap nia. Too bad only have fun there for only 2 hours because after that have to go to the next destination.

Went over to Yang Shuo. Aikz wish I could have enough time to have fun at the Merryland Theme Park. I feel like a small kid again. XD

In the middle of the journey, stop by at ShangriLa where get to know different minorities.







Ladies doing some knitting and sewing









A whole lot of rice wine

Did buy some souvenirs.

Reached the hotel. Had dinner. Went to watch the cultural performance "Impression of Liu San Jie". Some of you might know the movie "LiuSanJie" which is produced by Zhang Yi Mou. This performance is performed by the local villagers and fishermen.


The stage is actually at the big lake. I mean open space. Meaning performance on water.



Cute little girls singing




That's the end of the day.

Day 5 coming soon.

GuiLin Day 3

Woke up, packed my bags, and had breakfast.

Took this picture before going back to GuiLin. 3-4 hours journey eh. No joke. Sleep in the bus the whole time. XD

After the long journey, had the usual lunch set by the local tour guide.

Before going to the FuBo Hill, mom bought fruits.


The fruit that I like from China is

Peach!! Well, it's nice and crunchy.

Went to Bao Shu Tang. I've been to this kind of place many times in China. Normally, the stuff would do is intro some of the products. There's also the demonstration on burn the hand and put the cream. Then, 5-10 minutes later the hand is heal. Been there, done that.

It was a nice weather that we told the local guide to postpone the massage to another day and go for sightseeing.

Next stop, FuBo Hill.

It is actually a hill which has a temple for General Fubo. It was build during the Tang Dynasty. 2 km away from Elephant Hill.




This thing used to cook with for providing food for the soldiers.


The entrance to the hill. Very the cooling. ^ ^






Went to climb up the hill and it was really windy. Based on the picture below, that's proof on how windy it is.



Notice that the locals are swimming at the lake. o o

The last scenic place for that day was Elephant Hill (a hill shape like an elephant).


That's the Elephant Hill behind me and my aunt. Look a bit like an elephant right?


Baby elephants






This is call a "wishing tree". It's like the old tradition where you write down on the paper or small wood plank based on what you want to wish and gain.


Some wishes hanging at the tree.

Went for dinner and later go for a 1 hour drive to the MerryLand Theme Park Resort.

The room is nice and...

I love the slippers . I'm keeping them.

Day4 coming up.
