Last Saturday my family and I had a trip to Malacca. Wow it felt like an early Hari Raya celebration! It was my auntie’s wedding so there were many people indeed. I hadn’t seen some of them since Hari Raya last year so you can imagine how big the crowd was. We stayed at a hotel right next to my great grandmother’s house. She passed away but we still gather in the “long” house for special gatherings. Yes it sounds like a village. When you’re in the city most of the time, spending time in the countryside once in awhile is what I like best. Today I’m going to tell you about the Malay marriage and the special customs Malacca people carry out during the special day. For Malay weddings (and I’m sure for almost every wedding) the men suffer a little because they are to be responsible for the newly wedded wife, future kids and their marriage. My aunt and new uncle engaged last year in 2011 before Hari Raya. Then, they planned for their marriage a year later which was yesterday. In the early mo...

When we're in school the most things we'll ever think about are: doing homework, completing assignments or perhaps going for a tournament and maybe giving a speech or two. When the bell rings marking the last of day of high school, another bells rings too - marking the beginning of a career path.  Why is it so hard to decide? Why are there so many options yet so little choice? How come it feels so difficult to make a decision? Guys, I'm more than honoured to declare that you are perfectly normal. Every teen, stepping into adulthood will face this phase of life where you ought to make a decision for your future. As easy as it sounds, you may be surprised at how much hassle you'll be facing once you face the situation of "deciding."  So many factors need to be considered. So many people to gain approval from. So much serious talking. Yet you didn't see this coming and never expected it to be this hard.  I hate to say this, but some people just choose...

Easier said than done. Its easy to advice and say things but when it happens to ourselves, dealing with it is not easy. I believe that if we are always reminded of the good things, it will soon be an automatic response and sealed into our minds permanently. A few days ago or was it yesterday that I was feeling down with no mood to do anything. It occurred when I came back from classes and the feeling was really unexpected. Of course I resided onto my precious blog as a form of pleasure but with no mood to even write, I left my blog with 3 half-written posts. Not to mention all 3 were remain unpublished when I logged out. I am concerned about the quality of my writing here so I didn't want to publish anything that was not tiptop ( in my point of view). When I felt down the other day, I was basically home alone. My parents were out my brother was at my cousin's house, my maid out and my sister was nowhere to be seen. So it was me, myself and I :) Another reason was because I ...

In everyday life, speaking seems like a normal thing. We chit and chat and blabber away. When it comes to formal speech or talking to the authorities regarding an important matter, going for an interview or even speaking to someone you don't know, many people face this problem of speaking confidently. What is speaking confidently? Is it the ability to sound snobbish and powerful? Absolutely not. Making yourself sound confident is a total different meaning than that. My theory is that you don't have to be arrogant or too proud of yourself in order to be confident. They key to confidence is being happy with who you are, what you have and accepting yourself. With that self- acceptance you are able to interact with the outside world, with people without feeling too low of yourself. In order to sound confident when speaking to the authorities or going for an interview, you must PLAN what you want to say and the possibilities of what they might ask you. To be honest, the planning m...

I have to write something here because I'm starting to stalk my blog as if its somebody else's blog. I miss miss miss writing here but Internet was slow for the past few days so me no blogging :'( Today I went to the park, fed the monkeys and watched the panoramic view of the beautiful place- not many well-managed parks nowadays.

Which one do you like??   OR Last Friday we planned a surprise for my friend, Jia Wei. Her birthday was on Saturday but early surprises are very fun because the person is least expecting it to happen right? SO Jaslyn and I planned since Monday morning during the same week. We did not even mention about her birthday and pretended we forgot. Jaslyn and I often met secretly to pass the money and info about the "surprise" on Friday and since Jia Wei was always around us, it was a little hard. A few times this week she kept on saying, "What's wrong with you two? or "Why are you isolating me?" but we have to keep this a secret especially since she's good at finding out things. If you read my earlier post, Helping My Lecturer With Science Project you would realise that she was part of our group. So we thought of a brilliant surprise. When I brought the cake that morning she already arrived at Level 1 so i had to carry my bags and stuff all the...
