Days in Europe

I'm gonna blog about my second trip to Europe here,

Yeah, second!

Didn't expect to go Europe twice a year,

but hey, it's my sister's graduation!

to be honest, this is not a backpacking trip,

I spend most of my traveling time with my sister,

and it's so different from my last trip!

I usually had sandwich or pizza to fill up my tummy last time,

but my sister insist to have a proper meal,

cost me a lot, but luckily my dad is paying for the accommodations this time!

thanks dad! :)

I'd say this is more to family trip.

it's so nice to have someone taking photos for me and accompany me along the journey.
And my mum joined us during our last week in France!
woohoo! nothing is better then to have a patron traveling with you in Europe!
A totally different experience in Europe.
what can I say more? I'm so grateful for everything!

 

Went to Camden town with my sister, and found this big horse head with huge nose. Haha! I just have to do that!

 

Buckingham Palace, well every tourist have to do this I guess.

University

SO I'm going to university!

I didn't mention about my result here huh?

to my curious friends,

I've got 3.87 in my STPM,

to be precise, 2As (for my Economic and Business studies) and 2A-s (for my Accounting and General paper).

well, I know I can do better,

or at least I will be able to get 4.0 if I stay in Heng Ee (a lot more preassure and motivation) but what's done is already done.

Still happy to be in MBS,

had a lot of fun through out the year (which I doubt I will get in HE because of the preassure and responsibility as a prefect)

Ideal High School life I'd say. My life in MBS was so alike with those Taiwanese teenage movie you see in the cinema.

back to the topic,

I'm studying Accounting (Information System) soon in the Northern University of Malaysia (University Utara Malaysia in BM).

well, I was really upset at first,

I always wanted to go University Malaya or University Science Malaysia for my degree.

I want to live in a city! not in the jungle!

I want to havea  car and the freedom to travel!

I want cinema and entertainment!

so many complains!

but I'm lucky actually,

compare to those who didn't get the course they want (feeling sorry for you guys).

So I tell myself to be grateful and to think positive. I have to!

well, now, I'm ready for my university life,

like it or not,

I'm going,

and actually I'm starting to get excited!

I want my university life to be awsome,

just like how you see it in the movie,

I want it to be memorable,

and it's going to be!

hopefully I will be blogging about my awsome university life soon in September!

UUM, here I come!



Out in the wild

I'm out in the wild,

walking alone in the woods...

Friends are busy working.

well, it's unavoidable.

I always tell myself that everyone have their own life,

and I must be considerate.

Yeah, so i watch movie alone,

i visit the mall alone,

i sit at the seaside alone.

I have so many things in my mind,

but i can't do it alone!

I need someone to accomplish it together with me!

but, never mind.

I understand...

Quick update

so what am i up to lately?

well, everyone knows i'm traveling, 

yeah! going to the United Kingdom and southern France very soon!

It's going to be a three weeks trip focusing only on the United Kingdom and France unlike the previous trip where i visit all the major cities in Europe, I'm walking into the nature this time.

Lavender field, Scottish Highlands, French Riviera and northern coast of Ireland B-)

If i include the Hong Kong trip last December after my STPM,

I've been traveling for 3 months!

thats one third of my holiday! WOW!

oh yea, by the way,

I'm working on a video lately,

wanted to finish it before i travel, but i guess that's impossible.

so many editing and so many scene to be covered.

I wish that you guys have more time for me,

I really dont like to film during the evening and in such a rush condition.

Traveller

I think I'm qualified to call myself a traveller!

I've been traveling lately,

to a lot of places!

Yup, from Asia to Europe, 17 cities, 10 countries!

I'm going to write about my one month Europe backpacking trip here :)

It all started two years back,

my first time to Europe is memorable,

and i realise that I must go back there one day.

Ever since that trip, I've been saving my pocket money for a trip to Europe again after my STPM,

and finally, after all the bread eating days,

my dream come true!

people think that only the rich can afford to travel in Europe,

well, i think i just prove them wrong.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

some highlight event of the trip:

Food Poisoning:

i was suffering from food poisoning before my flight to Paris.

worse day ever!

can you imagine running into toilet for so many times before a 12 hours flight?

i even puked 3 hours before the flight.

NIGHTMARE!

but luckily my body behave during the flight.

Eiffel Tower!

3 in one?

Chateau de Versailles

books for sale

Farewell:

spending few days with my sister,

suddenly, i have to say good bye to her makes me feel so reluctant.

couldn't imagine the days without her,

who's gonna take photo for me!

My First Backpacking Trip

I should write about it earlier,

but I'm kindda lazy recently.

so, as what i've mentioned in my title,

This is my very first backpacking and solo trip.

Although i didn't went oversea,

but i think borneo island is far enough for me as a first timer.

I'm very proud to say,

I went traveling with only one small bag and a camera bag!

cool right?

Its really lonely to travel alone,

especially for the first day.

walking alone in the city,

but hay,

at least i have my phone with data plan which keeps me connected to my friends :)

But the story changed during my second day.

I bought a trip to Gunung Ganding for the Raffasia,

and i befriended 2 Scottish, 2 Germans, 2 Swiss people and 1 Czech girl.

I'm the youngest among all and i'm also the only asian in this trip!

This is the first time feeling so 'international' 

I never befriended so many europeans even during my trip to UK and French last time!

Backstory

So here I am, blogging about year 2012

Dear 2012,
This is the year of my finals,
This is the year of my graduation,
This is the year of farewell,
This is the year of what they once rumored to be the end of the world.

I here by sending this message to my pass or to those who live in the pass of the parallel universe,
The world is not ending, and it's stupid to spent all your money and wait for your death.

Anyway, back to my story.
So as I said, this is the year of graduation. I'm not going to talk a lot on this, as I had blogged about it earlier.
This is the end of my school life, no more form seven and I really appreciate it, especially my friends and teacher who accompany me through out this challenging year, and thanks to those who were always with me.

What about my finals?
Well, those torturing days were finally over!
And I'm back to my usual life ;)
An average of 8 hours study per day is exhausting!
Imagine you have to sit in front of the desk for so many hours!
The worse part is, I'm not really confident with my result!
Hopefully it pay off!

Travel to Hong Kong and china after my finals,
It's a reward to me, well, finally, freedom!
Enjoyed my trip there and looking forward to travel again soon!

The most unforgettable event:
School stupid rules- when I step in to the headmaster's office to protest about the crew cut rules
Chinese New Year visit- when we visit to most of the TBTN members house
Methodist Boys' School rovers gathering- when all the best friends work together
Penang Chinese Girl High School campfire- when we get the overall champion prize
HT's birthday- when I act like a bad guy
Methodist Boys' School Training camp- when untahanable quarrel
The last day of STPM- when I running around like a mad man throwing papers
My trip to Hong Kong- when my dad snore during midnight
The end of the world- when I told myself I'm going to survive

Best friends of the year- Lim Hean Tee, Tan Yi Lynn, Yau Kean Shin

Best achievement of the year:
school academic qualifications
the best overall champion of PCGHS campfire
