Jan' 20 | Miss Tan | Birthday Gathering | 2012

I remember that I never blog about my bio teacher before, Miss Tan.

So let's start!!!

My past 2 years of Form 6 spent in SMJK Yok Bin, those memories created there, are mostly filled with her. Remembering that when we first went in, she really gave us a tough life there. Most of us, are so scared of her in class, until the extend like when she utter a word or questions while we are doing experiments, our hands will start to tremble and fumble around, making things more messy and palms covered with cold sweats. And even a few, who can't coped with her class, choosed an alternative way. But for me, I still remain in bio class.

Strict, yet diligent, I would describe her. We are still not so close with her in our lower 6, but things changed last year. The same goes to us, we changed a lot too. We start to have the courage to approach her in class, answering questions by questions, begins to tease her or even joke with her. She always describe herself as transparent, because she can be scolding n lecturing away in class, but once lessons is over, she's a very friendly person, like as though there's nothing happen in class few seconds ago. So we are trained too, to take scoldings as words of wisdom instead of keeping it in heart and continue to be sad. The only way is to keep learning and changing to a better student, and adapting to her teaching methods.

Her favourite quote 'Silence is ignorance'

She believes that asking questions to students instead of spoon feeding them works better. Like she always say : ' If you would have prepare earlier and understand the syllabus, why can't you answer my questions? I don't believe in spoon feeding, keep giving you all what I know, and no interactions in class. U came to school to learn new things by your own, as a teacher, I'm only a guide, not to provide you everything while you yourself don't have the initiative to find the answer. ' This is Miss Tan. She want students to speak and voice out opinions, only through answering her questions she will know how much of knowledge lies in you, that explains staying silent means ignorance.

See? There's a lot more of our experiences during lessons that I wouldn't blog here as it will take a long time to finish this post. Anyway, for me she is a good teacher, and a successful one in this teaching line. I'm sure that we, the 2010/2011 Bio class fellows contributed a lot to make her smile and laugh and making her late teaching career more interesting.

January 20th, a slightly earlier celebration for her birthday.

See how broad is her smile... Can you imagine how happy she is?

And so this is the smile, that once upon a time it seems so far to us, a smile that we never think of owning it today.

Family Gathering | X'mas Season | 2011

There's always a phrase saying : ' There's nothing comes more important than a family '.

This is what we always hear, from the media or even much more from our own immediate family members especially the older ones. They stress even more on family joy, love and touch brought by simple family reunion dinner and gathering rather than having big house, big car, and luxurious meal with no love one beside to share the happiness. Most of the time, especially kids like us, will just choose to listen from the either ear and just forget about it and much time we treat those as nagging.

I'm growing, day by day, years by years, from a child to a adolescent, and to a teenager today. Welcoming 2012, I'm 20. And now, I know I'm wrong. So wrong about what we firm think it's right all the while. Having the whole world doesn't assure the existence of happiness and contentment. Happiness and contentment, comes from our daily life, the life we everyday live, and in having a simpler and happening life. There's no point living with all the things we wanted so badly which we don't really need, spending seconds chasing after, and continue being ignorance about those family concept and ideas and at the end, destined to be left alone with nothing. No point living like this right? I'm learning , step by steps, understanding and accepting what life promise us. And so do you.

Having a simple dinner, with cold tea served and cold jokes, I bet you, it can be so simple to be happy. Here comes a short series of photos taken during the Christmas eve night dinner.

See this guy enjoying all the way...

[ Eat . Durian . Shoot ] @ Sagil, Tangkak

Durian - The King of Fruit as described. Many of us are just totally in love with it, indulge in it's aroma and it's taste! But there are still a gang of them who totally can't stand the smell of it, which they described as 'pungent', the smell is unbearable to them! Durian, either you super duper love it, or you darn hate it.

I'm a durian lover, a durian fans! , a durian supporter, 100% durian! Durian is a heaven to me, the taste of heaven. I love my life more whenever I get to eat a 'biji' or a 'huut' (in Hokkien) of durian.

So let's start with the tempting DURIAN I enjoyed eating in a Tangkak farm during July.

A beautiful morning, fresh breeze with only the aroma of durian...~

Let's begin!

Look how contented am I with only a durian in my hand~

Second round makan will start after a short walk in the farm! :)

See? A tree full of fruits!

Bad durian, sudah rosak!

The day is just too good, better don't miss to eat for the second round!

Here we go for the best of the best, king of the king!

Commonly known as 'Mao Shan Wong' ...

After a free flow of durian instead of beer, never forget to pose and having fun camwhore!

My favourite shot of the day! Hope you guys like it too!

Everything of durian I heart. The best durian cendol...durian puff...found only in Melaka! So visit Melaka 2011! :)

[Perfection.太完美]

8th of May 2011, yes tomorrow, is my birthday and it's also a nationwide Mother's Day. Sit back and reminisce my years of living, not too bad though. I'd achieved countless success in these years but couldn't deny that I had also encountered infinite failures. What I'm glad about is that the bad never topple me down, instead they grew me stronger. I'd learnt, to face those hard times with a firm heart. I'd learnt to handle unpleasant circumstances calmly and steadily and to deal with sarcasm by putting a smile on my face.

'There's no lack of beauty in life, but there's a lack of eyes that see the beauty'.

'生活不是缺乏完美，而是缺乏发现完美的眼睛’.

Certainly I heart this phrase.

Life, had once made me into a person hunting for only perfection. But now, life taught me to accept the little flaws to be a better person. I learn to take take things easy, and accept what life promised me. I'm happy.

I decided to blog about my early birthday celebration by my friends. A million thanks to them sincerely.

The whole gang of us. :)

My crazy friends.

The moment captured when I was about to blow the candle. *funny mouth*

Last but not least, happy birthday to myself.

p/s : 勇敢就是我的许愿树，每当我追求完美太顽固，感谢你们化身我的许愿树。谢谢你们这些年的原谅，原谅我的不完美，包含我追求的完美，接受我的太完美。
