Inspiration from movies

Well, today is friday which are hols for us UUMers.
I got a full freedom today as my roomie went to Hatyai.
While I having my lunch, I watched Ah Boys be Men
The story is about how a teenager faced when he is going to have his National Service in Singapore.
While the teenager is being protected well by parents
For sure, the teenager went in reluctantly.
Then there a series of funny things happen on the camp.
I am so wondering what will it be if the guy is me.
As I feel the person is so like me in term of personality and I never serve NS
Malaysia NS is not compulsory yet the time taken is much shorter compare to Singapore.
Malaysia will only takes about 3 months while Singapore need to serve for 2 years.
The facilities, training, quality also have a huge gap I believe.
I am so wondering will I able to go through this 2 years.
The movie makes me so curious about my army life if Malaysia have such NS service.
But I believe I will whine like a cats before the day I went in to the camp.
Back to reality, I would prefer everyone mandatory for NS
As it is a great yet different experience for the boys.
But not what Malaysia did now but like Korea, Taiwan or Singapore.
I think it will helps the boys to develop in term of discipline, responsibilities and etc.
It is another type of learning which hardly got in from formal education.
Besides Ah Boys to Men, another drama Reality Check inspired me as well.
A part of drama is filming how a teenagers live in rural area without any electronic device
Besides this, the teenagers have to follow what the villagers did everyday for 14 days.
The villages got no modern electronic devices.
They just have a simple life yet happiness always around them which is a huge contra with us
We have a lot modern electronic devices but happiness not always with us.
The parts that I have resonance is if I am the teenagers am i capable to survive in this 14 days?
Well, I got no 100% confidence I can make it but I will like to have a try on it if there are a chance.
Same as above, it helps a person to develop in a quicker way.
I did self-reflection after this 2 drama and movie.
It makes me feel more desperately to go GCDP for self development in a surrounding which I not familiar.

1st 2 day of semester 4

Well, I left my lovely hometown and back to university again.
I left 4 semester to go.
It aint fast yet slow but it is the middle semester of my degree
Sat Joseph car and reached here about 1pm.
I was so suffer before the day I back due to bloating.
I'm so suffer till I cant walk properly to have medicine.
Worst ever bloating I have seriously.
After having the medicine, I'm feel much nicer and finally able to sleep.
However, things never end in this way.
After I unpack everythings
I caught a flu.first when it is about noon
After several hours, I caught a cough.
And today, their gang all come over me which is sore throat and also fever.
Thus, I was carrying this 4 idiotic bacteria around the campus.
It is so suffering for carrying this 4 bullshit yet my class is so full today.
It is from 8 to 6pm with a 2 and a half hours gap.
Credit to Etnik lecturer who cancel the class when I'm in such condition
1st week of the class already gave 2 exercise with 1 presentation very soon.
I got a 1 Malaysia group for my another paper.
No offence to them but I just wish they work well as I always got a bad groupmate for 1 Malaysia group
Im gonna insane very soon if such workload keep coming on with this situation
I grabbed 1 hour nap during the gap.
Tomorrow gonna visit the so called hospital.
I'm just wish the medicine able to let me get well soon.

Day 3: From Land to Mountain

We moved our accomodation from 逢甲 to 清境
We packed early in the morning and bring the whole luggage to have our breakfast
Our breakfast is bread again, but I ordered bacon burger which taste very nice.
But the coffee was not such nice as most of them will drink soy or tea.
After the breakfast, we went to our first destination which is 纸教堂
Be frankly, there got nothing inside beside keep take the photo.
There got some stories behind it but I was not really interested on it.
After snatch some photo and have a free drink
We headed to next destination after 30 minutes at there
Coming destination is 埔里元首馆 大黑松小俩口
The motive for coming here also take picture and buy some souvenir - 牛轧糖
There is a very big size chess in front of the building.
Beside this, there are some signature at there for us to take picture.

After this, we headed to 埔里酒馆
埔里 is the place where produce a lot alcohol due to the waters at there.
We used a lot of time at here but not for knowledge of alcohol but to take photo.
Even the driver also curious how we able to went there for so long time.
We tried their 腊肠 and also 豆花 which having 酒香
Nice taste.

After this, we depart to 清境
On the way to there, the driver put us to have our lunch which is 阿东瓮鸡
It taste godlike nice the chicken was so juicy yet delicious.
But it is a bit costly for me.
It cost 500NTD for the chicken.

After this, we went to 清境 and our 1st destination is 小瑞士花园
It is about 纸教堂 take picture only...

After this we went to 纸箱王
It is just a room where collect all the things made by paper box.

After this we went to 清境农场
We missed 绵羊秀 (We did not check the time before depart) >.<
So we just have a walk around there, we saw a lot of sheep there..
Shooo cute the sheep
Beside this, there are some horse which is quite beautiful
As usual, we took picture in every place.
When it is around 5pm, the weather changed become cold while I were only wear not much.
I start feel so cold and the cloud just passed us.
I'm starting cant stand with the cold surround me.
Thus we just finish it ASAP and went back to the 名宿

It takes a big time for us to go in to as it is very remote area.

The driver was keep complaining why it is so remote.
After 10 minutes, finally we reach 芸卢
The place we stay was nice, just it is too remote.

We ordered the food at there 小火锅
The taste was ok but not surprising lar.

After this, Gary went out to take photo for the night view
The sky is so crystal clear and we able to watch the star so clear.
By the time, the temperature is around 9 degree celcius and getting colder when getting later.
It reached 6.5 degree celcius.

It is insane yet we like to go out to see the stars.
After around 10 minutes of star view with my friends
I back to the room again as cant stand with the temperature.
I choose to watch TV at the time with my Heineken.
After 15 minutes I went in, my friends turn to went in as he cant stand with it as well.
After sometime, we choose to go to the bed

5th Day of CNY + Valentine Days

Today is the 5th day of Chinese New Year already.
It is shooooo fast.
This year very less to go friend house 拜年
Not much house for me to go
Usually will go to CKC, Kevin and chia foo house
but this year never go to their house.
This year also did not gamble much as well.
It is good also as Im not really have luck on gamble.
This few days I slept quite late almost 4am till 5am.
This 4 days outing with same people for different purpose
Club, futsal, gathering and also pool.
Seriously, Im enjoying with them but not my wallet.
My wallet is bleeding blood non stop
Lucky my wallet is not bleeding due to Valentine Days
I choose to be spend-wise on today for 22th years already.
I wont spend a lot for this days while some will help penang to boost up the economy
For me today is just a Happy Thursday.

When CNY past so fast,
Something that I not really want to happen is soon to be happen.
I have to back to forest very very soon.
It deserve me a damn from me.
It already happen for 3 times yet I still have the same feeling every time.
Time passed fast,
It will be my 4th semester in UUM already
Due to my result drop badly last semester,
this semester will be very vital for me yet the paper will be tough and challenging.

*looking forward for tomorrow to meet my university friends.*

Day 2 of Taiwan Trip

We have our trip by hire a driver who fetch us go around the place where hard to reach
The reason we use driver 台中transport is still as convenience as 台北
As the driver ask us to meet him at 9am,
I woke up at 7.30am early in the morning for preparation.
I almost used 1 hours to settle everything and the time i only call Gary to wake up
He just use about 20 minutes to settle down. *sohugedifferent*
After we met the driver, he bring us to have a fast breakfast which is something like burger, bun or bread
The breakfast was quite nice but we forgot to take photo as we are too hungry already
After this, we went to 東東芋圓 first to have our very first dessert in Taiwan.
Taiwan is famous of taro ball. We went there try for hot soup I order 烧仙草 while my friend order 综合豆

Mine was quite nice as I like taro ball, grass jelly and yam.
But Gary said it was like nothing special
We hardly to finish two bowls of hot soup while we should only order one.
After the soup, we went to 薰衣草森林

It is a place where is full of lavender. *talkcraps*
It is quite remote areas. I think public transport unable to went there.
The founder of the Lavender Cottage is 2 young girls at the time they found this but not now.
One of the founder was just passed away no longer before we came there.
Thus, there are a room at there to mourn her .
Overall the place is quite nice. It is cold, nice, beautiful and able to see the view.
But the place will much more suitable for couple or girls compare to 2 boys.

This is the wishing boxes at there
After Lavender Cottage, we went to 新社古堡
It is almost same with Lavender Cottage which a closed area where they build some special things inside
It is about some Euro style buildings with a fountain (I think)

Yet, it is the place for photo shooting only.
For those who never came, can try once.
If came before, I think we have same thinking which is not coming here anymore.
After that, we went to a street which full of mushrooms
As 新社 is the place where suitable for growing mushroom

Thus whole street was planting mushroom and selling it

We went there to try their fried mushroom.
It is so juicy yet delicious.
We did not go 大坑纸箱王 as the driver told us 清境 got a same one which is free
While here need to pay for NTD 100 while the things is almost same.
So after having our fried mushroom
We depart back to 逢甲 to start our night market trip
We start our night market walk around 6pm
Our first food is 章鱼小丸子 and 明轮蛋饼

Dont suspect on what you see, it is only 6pm and the sky is so dark already

章鱼小丸子 is god like nice while the 蛋饼 was a bit too sweet for me.
It is a franchais at Taiwan. Taiwan got a lot small size of franchais which selling food


After that I will introduce some of it.After that we tried 北回木瓜牛奶

After that we tried 月亮虾饼 and  帝鈞胡椒餅

月亮虾饼 is almost the same as what we eat for 卤肉
Just the sauce using is different as here is using Sweet Lemon Sauce
I also tried 帝鈞胡椒餅 but it is not really suit me as it is spicy yet easy to on fire.
After that we bought 黄金鸡腿卷 and also 黄金贼

1st one is about boneless drumstick with different type of seasoning such as pepper, original, spicy and etc
While 黄金贼 is squid filled with meet.
I abondan it for around 1 hour then just eat it.
It is still so nice but already a bit hard to bite edi.
After this we bought 爆浆按摩鸡排

According to the owner, they sell 1000 pieces per day only as a lot procedure to do and prepare such as massage.
After we tried, it is soso for me only as we treat it same with golden squid.
We abondan it quite a long time only eat it.
The last food we bought is 官芝霖大肠包小肠

I used not to eat 腊肠 at here thus I was a bit worried whether do it suit me or not.
After first eat, it is so nice, juicy, tasty.

It gives surprise to me be frankly.
The food that I did not dare to try is 臭豆腐 and 猪血糕. No reason just feel unease. LOL
Besides eating, we shopped a lot as well.
However, we just forgot to capture what we bought throughout the whole trip.
So there are no shopping pictures but food pics and view pics.
