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.

Happy Chinese New Year

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year to all of my beloved and non-beloved friends.
A small thought happen yesterday which is about live concert which was happening last night
Astro is having a live concert somewhere at KL i think.
Which makes me have a damn bad impression with them.
Their concert made a lot of people unable back from reunion dinner
Yet the attendance wont be good as a lot will having reunion
What for to do it live? Why cant broadcast first before that.
It is not a win win way in my thought.
Perhaps I'm oldies thinking, I prefer ordinary ways.
So, I hereby still wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year
Keong Hee Huat Zai, Ang Pao Ya Lai
Gong Hee Fat Choi, Li Si Dao Lai
Gong Xi Fa Cai, Hong Bao Na Lai

Primary School Gathering

It is around CNY,
So here our primary school gathering once again.
However, this time only 6 people are attending, add on 4 after so.
Be frankly, it is kind of disappointing
Beside this, I feel like they are taking this as granted
Organizer was kind of pissed off yesterday especially those people who are submariner
It is not easy to unite primary schoolmate.
They are not demanding all attending but definitely only 6 people.
I knew some have their things to busy but at least bear some responsibility to answer "On or Not"
It is not time consuming at all by typing 2 or 3 alphabets
It will ease them for headcount to make decision

I would say, lots of my friend already dont have primary school gathering as all lost contact.
So please be precious.
*Pissed off*

Day 1 : On the way to Taiwan

Wake up at 6am to catch the 7am bus to Kuala Lumpur
As usual, reached Sungai Nibong bus station around 645am
What I do in the bus is sleep sleep and sleep...
We reached KL around 11.30am
After that we went to petaling street to have our lunch
The lunch at KL really expensive compare to Penang yet not such delicious.
After that we take MRT to KL Central to take KLIA transit to LCCT

After an hour of sitting fast train and shuttle bus, finally reached LCCT.
Once reached LCCT, we went to our old place - McD to have our tea time yet dinner
As we have to sit the plane from 5pm++ to 10pm.
We didnt make any order at the plane, thus we eat full before we went to departure hall.
T18 is the place we have to wait... Around 30 minutes before departure time,
We already have to line up to the plane...

This is the picture where Heng Hwa took during the flight while me is just sleep in the flight..

Ishhh, the chair was so not comfortable, hard yet limited space.

The auntie beside us treat us eat 发糕 as we didnt order any foods during the flight

Shoooooooo good the auntie... Taiwanese are so nice yet kind...

One we reached the airport, we are so not used to it.

All signboard was in Traditional Chinese with a small english subtitle
All the way they speak is chinese but not other language
After get our luggage we rushed to bus station to sit bus to 逢甲
The bus service at here is much nicer.
There are a guy who help us to carry our luggage to the bus
Yes!!! Once again I sleep in the bus again... Whole day 1 is just full of sleeping...
Sleep Sleep and Sleep...

One of the picture where heng hwa took when he is in the bus
Left hand traffic... Not used to it again...
When we reach 朝马站 it is already 1am++
After that, we rushed to 7 eleven to buy sim cards at there as we did not successfully apply 宝贝机
It tooks us around 30 minutes to settle yet the taxi is waiting for us.
He just wasted our money in such way.
The person service was totally bad.
He even ask us 这样年轻就过来旅行
God damn him... he deserve a shit from me.
Why we cannot travel in such age.
After settled everything, we rushed to the 逢甲

While here is our room!!! *ignore the shirt*
It is awesome nice with a LCD TV.
We quickly went to bath then start to sleep as we need to travel quite early tomorrow.
Due to keep sleep throughout the journey
I'm insomnia at the night =.=
Perhaps too excited I think

Results

Result released today at 3pm through university portal
Thus I chose 2pm to went out with my mum in order dont want to be the 1st group of people to know result
Thus I able to guess around where I am.
However, the guessing was not really accurate.
We shopped until around 4pm then went back
Thanks to the traffic congestion, I used almost 1 hours to back home from Gurney Plaza
Before I reached home, I received a message from my friend saying that one of the paper he get B-
I was OMG on the moment, then rush to back home to check and wish for not B-
When I open the page, I saw a B-
I knew it was the paper.... Nationhood of Citizen
It was troll to the maximum.
My ever 1st B- in my university life
Seriously I cannot accept the result
But what to do, university got final authority
How they want to do, we cant interfere
So transparency the university is.
After that I checked others as well.
Among 6, 5 are acceptable while one is not which is my main paper Financial Accounting & Reporting.
I got a holy B+ on the paper which makes me kind of unbelievable
As I pretty confidence with the paper and yet it is my 1st paper.
Yes!! Every semester I will get B+ for my first paper which is TITAS, Business law and also F.A.R
After some time for gossiping
I emailed my doubt to my lecturer regards my papers.
Surprisingly, she answered me after around 1 hour which is already after working hours. Such efficient.
The reason she gave is acceptable yet I still think I able to get A-
But what to do? We cant change anything beside appeal which likely to throw money to the sea.
Well, things past!!! Wait for the Chinese New Years will be much better <3
试场失意，赌场和情场一定要得意！！！

Trip Blog : The Day I In Taiwan

*god damn long, pay your patience if you would like to finish all*

Yes, I'm back from Taiwan.
I escaped to a colder place for 9 days,
It is average 18'C for the 9 days expect the day at 清境 which only 6.5'C
The freaking cold temperature definitely a great experience for me.
The happening from I arrived Taiwan till I left Taiwan was amazing fast.
I have a lot of thoughts when I reached there
and this is the reason why I want to blog it down
I would like to remind me myself.
I finally knew why people said travelling able to broaden our view and mindset.
I suffered some culture shock when I reached Taiwan although I'm Chinese

First of all, all of the signboard was in Chinese words which makes me feel so not used to it.
We used to see English or Malay words in our signboard and here makes me feel so not used to it.
Second one will be the weather in Taiwan as Taiwan is having their winter right now
While we are summer all the time. *ilikecoldweather*
Thirdly is the different handed traffic which cause some troublesome when we crossing the road
We are left hand traffic while Taiwan is right hand traffic.
Fourthly, I do have some minor communication barrier as different words used in both country
Such as pendrive, In Malaysia we used to called it as pendrive, but they got no idea on the words
As they used 随身碟 which I will understand it as external harddisk
Next, the civic thinking on there was much much stronger than us
They queue all the time, gave seats to older, follow the rules such as no drinking and no smoking
which we need to learn from them,
Besides this, the people are so nice, helpful yet manner.
They are so helpful to solve our doubt during our trip.
Frankly, this unlikely happen in Malaysia, there are but not much.
Here the ends of the culture shock I suffered during the trips

Here my thoughts during the trip
I have a lots of inspirations during the trips
It's about dreams, youngsters, rally, Citizen of China, foods and shopping

Dreams
I heard a raper having street performances at 西门町
He said he had been performed for 7 years however he unable to get support from his parents
He would just wish to able to out an album or EP but till now still unable to make it.
While hearing his rap, Im start thinking about dreams and reality.
Every people have their dreams and they would like to master it
But how many successfully master it.
Perhaps the person I mentioned he able to gather some money as a busker for his daily life expenses
But how about when getting bigger??
But I feel so inspired by him as he still so passionate to chase his dream although its had been 7 years long
A lot of people will start forget their dream after tired and exhausted chasing their dreams
They choose start their works for his saving and future family perhaps.

In my cruel thought, dreams need support by money
No matter who, we have to face reality *pessimistic thinking*
After long thinking, I questioned myself, What is my dream?
Well, it takes some time for me to think of it.
I have a dream, and the dream is align with the reality
I would like to travel overseas, while travel needs a lot money to support *asisaid*
I would conclude, People must dare to dream, but still need to know the reality that around us but not blindly  to chase your dream.
I would wish the buskers able to achieve their dream.

Youngsters
Meet a lot of youngsters at Taiwan
I have to say, I envy them to the max as almost their skin condition are good yet they are so fair and have high sense of fashion
Besides that, they have a lot of places to go during the noon or night *incity*
Different of night market and business district with a wide coverage of bus and MRT.
It is convenient to the max for you to choose to go which night market.
I would say their mindset is much more open compare to here
Everyone dyed their hair and have a lot of some weirdo colour i saw as well *winterbreak*
However quite a big number of youngsters smoke as well no matter boys or girls
I think number of smokers among youngsters is lesser.
However, we have some conversation with the aunty uncles,
They complain that the youngsters now was only know play,shop and loitering
and they were worrying with them as they do not concern about the happening in their country
In my observation, the youngster sense of crisis might be lower.
But i got no idea on the matter as Im just at there for 9 days
But what i can conclude is their civic thinking is much better than us
But Malaysian Youngsters will have a higher sense of crisis and also understand the happening around us

Rally
It is definitely lucky to see a rally happen nearby 中正纪念堂
We just go there only realize they are having rally
When we went there, it is almost half of the rally
We watch the rally till the end,
It ends in a super peaceful way
Police got no take any action yet the demonstrator back in order,
There are people collect the flag and the rally item in a place to minimize the creating the rubbish
When the people leave, the place was still so clean
I never participate the rally in Malaysia, thus comparison made according to my understanding.
I would say the politician in Taiwan will be more steady and open mind to receive criticize
The demonstrator in Taiwan will be much better compare to Malaysia as from news, I would saw some will stay on the place to pick up the rubbish.
But then the number of demonstrator in Malaysia will be higher but the theme is kinda different.
Taiwanese rally is about 电力公司, while recently Malaysia one is about the fairness of election
The coverage for the rally from Taiwan is smaller compare to Malaysia.

Citizen of China
After there are direct flight between China and Taiwan
There are a lot China tourists at Taiwan
Most of them were come with tour
Thus we mostly meet up at the place where is tour hot spot
They were in a so huge people come over here
While their civic was pretty bad as well
It is much worse than Malaysia at least from what I saw in Taiwan
I would apologize if offended anyone here
They just speak loud in the public, cut the queue, occupy the shooting hot spot
In my view, they are so self-centered
It is definitely a big contrast between citizen of China and Taiwan
The civic, the manner, the attitude was a big different
This is what would China Government need to take more attention on the matter
The tourists reflect a lot to the country while the country will be tagged on those bad habit
It happen on the airport when a China cut queue then the people who queuing directly say it's from China
It is not a good sign at all especially when your country was developing so hard

Food and shopping
Here is the paradise of foods and shopping.
No doubt there are a lots of nice foods but the pricing was slightly high
However there are some foods that they think it is nice but i got no idea why it is nice such as 阿给
I almost spend near 500 NTD for my 3 meals everyday
It is high as we have to try as most food as we can within this 8 days
Thus every night market we eat around 7 to 8 types of food while we only 2 person to share the foods
I'm so miss the food at there right now 大肠包小肠，营养三名字，阿忠面线，芋圆，八宝冰
All of those food must try, you will not regret on it
There are some foods I havent try and wish able to try next time such as 牛肉面，臭豆腐
Shopping at taiwan was so happy as long as you have a lot of $$ or otherwise it will be very suffer
Even my friend who not shopaholic also became shopaholic after back from there
The night market and business district there was so so awesome
五分埔，西门町，士林，逢甲 is the must go place for shopping
There are people mountain people sea yet unlikely packed like sardin as the road was so wide
It is kind of convenient for us to shop
The things at there are cheap, new yet the service are pretty awesome.
They serve people in a much polite yet passionate way which makes you unlikely to reject them
Perhaps their tactics? But I prefer in this way compare to HK where I being murmur once I touch their things

There is my end of this blog *finally*
This is a summary of my Taiwan trip
I will update the respective day on what I had did and went in Taiwan
Money spent, experience gain
Travel did expand my view and broaden my mind
I learnt how to adapted the culture shock which will help me on facing other shock
Besides this, the civic of Taiwan really inspired me which we should learnt from them
I would wish Malaysia will become one of them in no longer time
Lastly, I very like the way they speak Chinese
It is god like nice.
