Holiday in Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson

Image
For the last week of 2017, my family and I were thinking of a place for a fun, relaxing holiday. When we plan family holidays, we try to find a place that has activities for children and at the same time, fun for adults. My brother is 11 and my sister and I are in our early 20s so we needed to choose a place that was interesting for all 3 of us. Port Dickson was the perfect place since we adults wanted a relaxing holiday that included sunsets and the sea breeze. At the same time, there are lots of fun activities for children on the beach. My brother was so cute when he requested that we go to a beach. He was like 'I want to go to the beach, I want to build a sand castle and play with the sand. I want to see the waves, I have not seen the sea waves for a long time.' Adorable little prince managed to convince mommy and daddy and the tickets were booked on the night he made the request. So, us lucky sisters were excited about this last minute end-of-the-year holi

Ideas for New Year's Resolution 2018

Dear all, Happy New Year 2018! :) May it be a great year for all of you, a year filled with happiness, good memories, blessings, good health, success, love and all goodness. It is raining now today and the weather is reflecting my mood. At around noon today, my favourite little budgie bird passed away in my hands. It was ill and we took it to the vet 5 days ago. I gave it medication this morning using a syringe and it was eating like normal. Around 11am, I realised it was looking weak and dizzy. Little did I know that it was leaving us all soon to go to Heaven. Bear with me, I am still a little teary from what happened just a few hours ago. This will be something I remember because it happened on New Year's Day. I loved it so much but God loved it more and decided to take it to a better place in Heaven. The hardest part was burying it... I could not stop tearing. Only God knows how I feel. I could not bear the sight seeing it on the ground that we dug up and lying there helples

Tips on Starting a Blog

Dear all, Thank you for visiting :) Happy weekend and hope you are having a nice Saturday so far. It's holiday seasons and I am sure many of you are off on exciting holidays or spending family time. Whatever it is, stay safe and have a good time :) It's Saturday morning for me and so far a relaxing morning for me. I had a cup of 'teh tarik' (popular milk tea in Malaysia) and also jasmine green tea. I like tea, I can have endless cups of tea all day. I was thinking about what topic to blog today and there are so many topics I did not know which one to choose. So, I opened this little notepad I have on my phone where I write down any blog topics I think of at any time of the day so that I can refer to that list when I decide to sit down and blog. So the topic I have chosen today is useful for anyone out there thinking to start a blog or website. Here are some things that you need to bear in mind: Choose your blogging platform carefully. Are you more comfortab

What to Know Before Helping Out the Homeless

Image
It's Christmas season and as any festive season, it is a time for giving and sharing the love. It is that time of the year when people feel extra generous and in good spirits. While we are planning our Christmas and holiday plans, it is also important that all of us remember those who are less fortunate and in need. We might be planning a great dinner on Christmas Eve but there are people out there who are starving and would be grateful for even a piece of bread. Or there are people who are shivering at night while we enjoy the luxury of having a heater or fireplace. It is a life I cannot imagine. When I attend presentations on helping the homeless if there is one message I would like to emphasise, it would be that being homeless is NOT a choice for most of them. Life circumstances are what brought them out there. It could be their negative attitude or behaviour that drove them out of the house. Or bankruptcy or being cheated or they suffered mental illness or they are LGBT who a

How to Succeed in University

Image
If you read my previous blog articles, you would realise that most of my education articles are related to high school studies. Now that I have graduated from university, I feel that I can now share study tips at university.  A little background on what and where I studied. I started my degree in 2013 at Imperial College London and I studied Earth Science (Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry). Before that, I did an A-level in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Math in HELP University, Malaysia. I did not have much Geology background before starting my degree but that was fine as many people did not too. I did a 4-year programme including a 1-year integrated Masters programme and graduated in October 2017, just 2 months ago.  Here are some study tips I found useful for myself when studying at university, hope you find this beneficial for you:) As always, let me know if you have any questions. I am more than happy to help. Studying at university is very different compared to
