One Year of Study Life Just Past Like This

It’s too fast to past that soon

Every moment that I encounter was still vivid in mind

Growth, Friends, Collegemates, Pain, Joy

And all that I have been through

Really appreciate them a lot

Thank God for everything

And day by day in the one year of life here

Make me stronger and tougher in my personality and characteristics

How I handle stuff in my life

How I cast all my worries unto God’s hands

I know without Him

Life would be different

Regardless of all circumstances and obstacles I faced

I faced them not by myself but with Him by my side

Praise the Lord

Thank God for everthing

May your blessings continue to shine upon us

And may we continue to be a blessings to others in life

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD

在家靠父母 出外靠朋友

的确

成长了？

一天又一天

一年又一年

时间分分秒秒地流逝

我们也随之成长

“祝你生日快乐，

祝你生日快乐，

祝你生日快乐，

祝你生日快乐~”

每听见一次

我们也老了一岁

尤记得大家小学时

挂在嘴边的话题往往环绕着

“我要快点长大。。”

“我不要读书，我要做工赚钱。。”

中学时

这个话题仍挂在嘴角

直到有一天

有位数学老师告诉我

“读书比做工好，

应享受读书的时候，

等你做工时，

你就会怀念读书求学的时候了。。”

小学· 中学· 大学

小学时一直想要到个有名的中学求学

到了中学

恨不得时光倒流

回到小学去

与友人一起玩

赌笔擦·摸铁·跳青蛙·警察抓贼

等

每一幕与友人玩弄嬉戏的画面

仍深深地刻在脑海里

到了大学

才发现中学时的“爽”

课业没那么繁忙

中学时的老师·朋友

直到现在一直牢牢记在心里

想必莫齿难忘

十九岁的今天

仰望天空

看看四周

进入眼帘的不是以往熟悉的画面

而是他人家乡的天空

人常说

“故乡的月亮比较圆”

·

“天空还是故乡的比较藍”

的确如此

如今

除了课业

每天所要面对的种种

也随之增加

小虎队的《红蜻蜓》

唱出了我们的心声

“当烦恼越来越多，

玻璃弹珠越来越少，

我知道我已慢慢长大了。。”

长大了

生活依然如此

遗憾

听着方炯镔的《遗憾》

心灵也跟着其轻柔旋律

完美易懂的歌词

唱出我当下的心情

一直重播这首歌曲

整个人就沉浸在《遗憾》里

不尽让我回忆起过去

勾起以前深刻的回忆

“别再说是谁的错

让一切成灰

除非放下心中的负累

一切难以挽回。。”

朋友个个背后默默的支持鼓励

每次生活遇到的挫折考验

第一个伸出援手的就是

这些好友们

而不善于表达

欠缺处理友情这块的我

就算头脑有再多的点子

但就是败在“实行”这一块

失望·内疚

衍生到现在的遗憾

“莫非要你尝尽了苦悲

才懂真情可贵”

莫非上天就是要我尝试此失落的心情

才懂得更珍惜如此难能可贵的友情

朋友们

对不起

Yesh

I can feel the warmth deep inside my heart

God is always there with me

Thanks God for open up my heart towards You

Stress

Exams are just around the corner

And i was so stressed out

Worrying that i might not be able to complete my syllabus in time

Unlike secondary school

A-level is far more different

It's not enough if you just get to memorise all the facts in the textbooks

Instead we have to do more exercises and look into the past year papers

College is more to applying your knowledge

instead of memorising

And we have to know how to apply our knowledge all in our exam papers

I pray that i can try my best

&

I know i can do it

Good Luck to all my friends

God Bless Us

Hey

All my kuching friends and i

Hey Dad, Mom, Aunties, all my siblings and relatives

and of course all my readers

I am fine over here and

it had been a long time i didn't update all of you about my conditions and life over here

Well

Life's going on normally and smoothly everyday

Having class early in the morning till late afternoon everyday except friday

and that's quite tiring

however i have used to it already

One and a half months i have been here

I learnt and experienced a lot of new things

I learnt how to have proper time management

Unlike last time when i was at home

My aunt and mom used to wake me up for school

but now i have to wake up myself

but sure it's not by myself but an alarm clock wakes me up everyday

I have grown up

and be more independent and more responsible in everything i do now

Washing and ironing my own clothes

Cleaning and tidying the room

all by myself

I just realised how difficult it was

and it was not as easy as we think

There are no one else helping out for me

Facing the ups and downs myself

i became more capable in managing my own stuffs

Thanks God for sending me here

to learn new stuff

and to know how much my family loves me

&

I really miss them a lot

But well

i enjoy my life over here

and

IT'S AWESOME!

Stress

The first few days of study make me so stressful

Each and everyone of us were studying so hard

as if exams were coming up the next day

Including me too

I also got fed up with all those books

Biology

Chemistry

&

Physics

I hope i can try my best

and i will pray hard for you all

Gabriel

Sin Chien

Edmund

All the best!

First Week In Kolej Teknologi Timur

The very first day I arrived KTT, I was like “Wao! Is this the place where I gonna study?”. The very first impression KTT gave me was the college was just very very small. It was composed of only two rows of shophouses and I didn’t know this small place can become a college. After registration and with the key of my apartment, I walked all my way to my apartment. Here’s how’s my apartment looked like:

My apartment -9-1-A4

The living room

My room

My bed

The so-called kitchen

Toilet... A bit dirty though...

My study table

The view outside my apartment

I had a Sibuan, a Kedahan and a Sabahan housemates and I lived in the same room with the Sibuan.

We had orientation for the first week and only one word can describe the orientation- TIRING. It was really tiring. Ice-breaking games, aerobics, briefings and performance competition were held each and every day. Basically, these were what we did for the whole week. It was tough, but when compared to Labuan’s Matriculation Programme. KTT’s was far more better.

Throughout this week, I also managed to join a few societies and the one that I loved the most was Christian Fellowship Society. It was really fun and enjoyable and I loved the meetings organized each time a lot. Edmund and Sin Chien did joined too. What I felt happy about was Sin Chien finally had her very first step in knowing more about Jesus. And I hoped she would finally accept God into her heart. I was very sure she will one day. Hopefully!

After attending church mass on Sunday, we visited KL City and had the chance to go to Mid Valley using commuter. It took us a half an hour journey to reach Mid Valley. It was my first time been there. It was crowded with people maybe because it was sunday. We had fun over there!!

Overall, KTT was not that bad too. It’s an awesome place to study and all of the seniors here were willing to help whenever we faced difficulties and problems. They taught us a lot about KTT. How to go Giant Mall… How to go to the church…How to go Pizza hut and KFC… and lots of stuff in study or matters in life. I really appreciated all the advices they gave us a lot and I was grateful they are my seniors. Thanks God!

That’s what I felt and noticed for the very first week and I hoped I can venture more about KTT in the next few weeks.

The First

It was my first time i got to see a 'star' so near. And today, i joined my friends to the Spring just to see Show Luo from Taiwan. It was crowded with people over there and we could hardly see Show Luo, but after squeezing ourselves through the crowd, we managed to see him and take a few shots. I also got a free album after reloading RM50 for my phone. After that, we went for a movie at MBO and we watched a nice, yet interesting movie,"The Shrek". It's an enjoyable day today.

Show Luo's Album

Home Sweet Home

Two weeks in Labuan

Half an hour of flight from Labuan to Kota Kinabalu

Two hours of flight from Kota Kinabalu to Kuching

Yesh!

Finally

I am back in Kuching!

I am back!

The moment i get out from the airport with my backpack and luggage

I am like over the moon when i come face-to-face with my mom, dad and aunties

I am like speechless

Back in home

I realise everything remains the same

Missing my siblings a lot

Switching on the television

The tv programme shown on the screen

Tells me how i miss it a lot
Laying myself on the bed

I really miss my pillow and bed

The time i arrive home and Kuching

tells me that

HOME IS ALWAYS THE BEST

&

I LOVE KUCHING

回忆

短暂的三个月飞快地离去
瞬间

三个月前的今天仿佛昨天

在安亲补习中心所有的所有

仍历历在目

今天的离别

虽然不舍

但为了将来

为了学业

得离开补习中心

这三个月

最难能可贵的

不是每个月的薪资

而是我在同学们的身上学了许多

这一个星期

这一天

我想必我莫齿难忘

“老师,你去哪里读书?”

“老师,你不会回来了哈?”

“老师,记得每晚开facebook?”

“老师，以后要从labuan带东西给我们啊！”

“老师，以后要在 BDC 开诊所”

“老师以后要给我们discount!”

“老师加油！”

等字句仍在我脑海里

同学们的脸孔

同学们的问候

同学们的礼物

同学们的纪念册

同学们的谈话声

同学们的吵闹声
还有这些照片

四年级班科长

四年级学生

双胞胎

好同学好朋友

六年级班同学

将是我这辈子难以忘记的回忆

羁鸟

昨天看着被关在笼子的小鸟，告诉妈妈把它放了。当时突然有了灵感, 而创作了这首诗:

用着坚硬的双唇
直啄铁网

即使伤痕累累

只盼望能离开

离开这让我痛不欲生的环境

秉持着坚强的意志

有着永远不放弃的精神

直相信曙光的到来

仰望天空

望着朋友们自由自在飞翔

展翅高飞

而我

虽有灵活的臂膀

敏捷的身躯

一切的一切

还是得归咎于自己命运坎坷

成天就只在框框里

看着

夕阳的出现

傍晚的到来

忍住泪水

等待希望的莅临

今早醒来看着鸟笼却看不到它的身影。问了才知已被爸放生, 心里顿时平复了。

Sarikin Trip

Yesterday morning, after having breakfast with my aunts and my brother, Gary at Ling Loong Coffee Shop. One of my aunts came out with an idea of going to Sarikin(the place that separates Malaysia and Indonesia). I was really excited because it had been years i last been to that place.

My aunt asked me to drive to that so-called Sarikin place. At the moment, I was quite nervous but looking forward to the long journey.

My aunt gave me direction on how to drive there. The road was not as smooth as what i used to drive on, but with stones and holes.

It took me an hour to arrive Sarikin. Phew... Luckily i managed to make it and this was the longest journey i ever drove since i passed my driving test. It was really thrilling and 'adventurous' anywhere.

Upon reaching Sarikin, the very first thing that caught my attention is the Zhu-Long-Chao Plant (in Chinese 猪笼草). It looked like this:

Zhu-Long-Chao Plant

I bought it with RM 8 and it was cheap!
Besides, lots of new stuffs can be seen there. My aunts, my brother and i were like sampah lao.
'WAH'and 'EEE' are the two words that came out of our mouths when we saw these:

Slugs

It was used to treat certain kind of sickness or illness. But don't know what it's exactly for.

Cookies-making Tools

The Malay-Indon man demostrated lots of technique by using this tool to make varieties of cookies with all shapes and sizes. My aunt bought one with RM 10. It was really expensive to me at first and i kept on telling my aunt not to buy it. But i realised it was their own invention and after all it was quite reasonable.

My aunt have a try-out with the tools

The products

Sago Worms

I had eaten them before when i was 7 or 8. It tasted quite nice and when you bite it, the fluid inside the sago worms' bodies would burst out and it tastes like butter. Sounds weird, right? Haha... Do try it when you have the chance to. But remember to remove the head before swallowing them into your stomach as the head is indigestible.

Key Chains

I never seen these before in Kuching and i think it's quite unique. I chose three key chains and had my name, Jack-Ty's and Sin Chien's names carved on it. Give you when i met you people. Hope you like it!

Lots of other stuffs can also be seen there. And here were some of the other pictures:

Ornaments

Craft works

Traditional Musical Instruments

Clothes
Bags

And many many other more...

After two hours of 'shopping', we went home. Anyway i found this place nice and worth to pay it a visit. Do try and experience something different!!
