♥ So far so good.
First week at college was fantastic though it was more tiring than I thought. Classes started on Monday and I have been coming home with loads of homework daily. Each period of lecture is about an hour and I find it tiring when there's a continuous two hours of teaching although lecturers do give short breaks in between. Lecturers had repeatedly told us to brush up our english by reading the newspaper as the english level in HSC is much higher than SPM. Most lecturers were friendly and approachable. My chemistry lecturer, Ms. Leela is exceptionally strict,but she's stern in a reasonable way. Physics lecturer, Mr. Yap was a former PCGHS teacher who has retired and he's a very experienced lecturer. Campus facilities are quite well-equipped. The library has a very conducive surrounding except that students talk loudly without much consideration for others,and some seniors even play cards there. WI-FI is also available throughout the campus so we can access to the internet. Oh, there's also a music room for students! But it can only be occupied after 4:45pm because of lectures going on few doors away. Food catered by the cafeteria is just so-so, and I find it too oily for my liking. College life can be fun in the sense that there are less stupid rules to obey & I get to study with some primary schoolmates whom I've not seen for years. Got the chance to catch up on the lost time with some of my primary schoolmates like Adoria and Heng Hui Jing. Many PCGHS girls were also doing HSC in INTI while some took A-level. All in all, I had fun throughout the week and hope to have more excitement in the coming days !!

♥ New Year, New Hope.
Joined Bren Da, Soo Fei and Ming Ming for the countdown to a brand new 2010 at Queensbay. It was a last minute thing cuz my parents decided to go to Queens to feel the usher of the new year. From the pictures below, you could see that there was a huge crowd enjoying the performances by various artists. I must say, the stage was fantastically set up and the performances by a few taiwanese singers & emerging Malaysian singers were great. We had a blast during that night, spending most of our times screaming and yelling our throats out. There was also a 8-minute fireworks after the 20-second-countdown.
I'll be in College very very soon and commencing a brand new life in 2010. Since it is just the start of a new year, it is a good time to reflect and get things right! 2009 had its share of ups and downs, gains and losses. I hope that 2010 will be much better than the years before. All the best to everyone, and may you and I have an incredible 2010 =)

♥ Goddess of Mercy
During Uncle Robert's recent family trip to Penang, we visited Kek Lok Si where the newly completed giant statue of Kuan Yin Pu Sa ( Goddess of Mercy ) is. The statue is sheltered by a new pavilion which has the support of dragon pillars imported from China. As it was Christmas day, the place was packed with tourists as well as the locals. After that, we walked around the stalls selling all kinds of merchandise.
In the evening, we went to the newly opened Hard Rock Hotel. The hotel was crowded with guests but filled with Christmas atmosphere. A live band was performing with mostly rock musics. We left the camera at home so there's no pictures taken this time. Sorry folks!
