My recent life

Well, my blog WAS dead for quite some time, technically it WAS dead 8months and 14 days. So, it is time for the author of this blog to write something to keep it alive.

Spot any difference? Yup I changed my blog layout, it was always been dark and black color, may be because I was a pessimistic person all these while? An emo type of person? but I'm trying hard to act like I'm not one of those pessimistic person? Well who knows xD Stanley is always that kind of happy-go-lucky optimistic guy, right?? ... yep right!

Been busy doing my revision lately as my exams falls on December 12 and 14. Hmph gonna be a rough month. Wish I can finish studying everything on time *finger crossed* because I have been focusing on P1 and my P3 is left far behind, and yet my P1 revision is progressing super slow, like a tortoise. =/

Life in Sunway KL, hmmm.. not bad, literally 2 and a half hours drive from my hometown, unlike last time, it was just 45minutes drive, (I tried 20minutes once =x).

Meet with lots of new friends here, some of them =) some of them... urgh, don't wanna talk about it.. haha. I was just joking, they are all nice friends to me.

Shouldn't I studying hard, why am I blogging? After studying for "long" hours, will get tired + bored. Below are few images of my current room.





Been thinking a lot lately, FYI, I am a guy who loves to think and day dreaming, haha don't be surprise. LOL. Hmm.. the blog title, .... journey of my life.... Yea I did took lots of wrong turns, fell down and bleed, to reach where I am now, what I gain are some valuable lesson, what I lost are some valuable friends.
Well, still a long way to go man, journey to success. Guess I will stop crying over a split milk.

No matter how bad things have become, how bad the situation is, always remember,
LIFE GOES ON ((:


Alright, will update more often ((: Buh-byez! Oh ya I love Vampire Diaries. Haha!

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Hmm... I think all all of us read this poem before. A very inspiring poem by Robert Frost.

I believe that we had faced so many diverged roads in our life;

Form 3-after PMR, Science class or Art class?
and I had chosen science class.

Form 5-after SPM, SPTM in science or arts ; Foundation in science or arts?
and I had chosen Foundation in Arts.

After Foundation in Arts, which degree course to take?
and I had chosen Bachelor Degree (HONS) Accounting.

Currently pursuing my final year final semester, again there is a diverged road in front of me...
and I know, it is time again to make important decisions, and the poem above, The road not taken by Robert Frost, that best suits my feelings now.

A friend of mine, once told me, never regret on what you chose, no matter how bumpy the road is, never give up til you success.

Anyway, just finished my VIVA presentation yesterday!! Fuh~!!
I still remember those sleepless night. Every one of us was like zombies!!
and finally we are going to submit our Final Year Project a Research Methodology Project.

After

Time to catch up with other assignments. Adios~ ^^

Aunty Jodie's Birthday Celebration

A week earlier Aunty Jodie's husband which is my 7 suk, Uncle no.7, phoned up my dad to book INDULGENCE for her wife birthday celebration.

Unfortunately, Indulgence did not operate business on Tuesday.
Therefore my dad suggested to held her birthday celebration at his friend's steakhouse, SECRET GARDEN.

The foods there were nice=D My saliva starts drooling once I think of the foods there, especially the appetizer--> NACHOS with CHEESE!!!!!!

@ SECRET GARDEN

REUNION DINNER

1 more day to CNY, what does it means to you guys?? It means REUNION DINNER!!! YAY!!

I just love that kind of warm feelings where all family members get to gather to have dinner.
Chit chat and talk about what they had been through a whole year, updating latest news with each other. Yea no doubt that there are so many internet social networking like FACEBOOK, TWITTER and etc, however I still prefer face to face communication, can feel the warmth, the laughter, the happiness.

Finger lickin' good

Opening the Champagne =D

Table for the ADULTS

Table for the KIDS

1st DAY of CNY

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Every 1st day of the Chinese New Year, we will wear traditional red wooden clogs, because we believe that wearing it will step away the villains (小人).

Me wearing CLOGS instead of CROCS!! =P

Tea ceremony =)
Everybody will wish our grandmother Happy Chinese New Year, with Chinese idioms.

After tea ceremony, we will take a photo of family portrait of each family ^^

My Family




Do I look like a pro photographer?? XD

Of course we won't miss out the LION DANCE too ^^

One of my uncle brought an ancient photo. Everyone was so anxious to see photo. The kids would probably crowded there guessing who are their parents, while the parents kept asking whether they were good looking during that time or not. Haha funny, and I saw my dad look just like me now. LOL.
Then one of my uncle suggested that we should take one now too. So, all the pros photographer quickly get ready their gadgets. LOL while I helped my uncle to record all the hilarious scenes.
6th uncle said that our photo will be publish in the NEW STRAIT TIMES newspapers sooner or later. LOL!! We took a few candid shot and serious one. ^^

The Leong's and the Lai's Family =D




AT NIGHT

I've forgotten since when we start to have "luk luk" as our dinner. Before "luk luk" is Satey.
This year we odered even more sticks of "luk luk" than last year, but it is still insufficient to serve the guest.
Unfortunately some of my friends who came late and didn't get the chance to eat. Felt guilty. =( They went out to eat KFC then they came back again ^^

After eating, sure was the time for youngster to play cards =)
Ducking, Champion of the night ^^


Me, Dato, Ducking, Sister & Chee Hoe

My secondary school friends ^^

Really had an enjoyable night with them.
Whole house was filled up with their laughter.

I always feels so warm when I hang out with them!!

2nd DAY of CNY

The 2nd night of the CNY, as usual we will take our dinner at the same old place, Tai Thong restaurant, now currently named as Royal China. As we are the faithful customers to them, =P , as their service are so nice and warm!! ^^

I still remember, years years ago, I was still a little kid that time, we always had our dinner at Overseas restaurant, 海外天, but due to its super BAD & LOUSY service that made us so upset and disappointed, we blacklisted it, and we never ever go back there to take our dinner again, not even once.

The Leongs'

My family <3>

Cousins from the same generation =)

We all were so HYPER that night!!
ALL of us have a HYPERACTIVE genes, I guess. Haha.!!
After finishing one dish we will sing, another dish came, we will continue to eat again.. haha

Group singing; we were singing "When you look into my eyes-Jonas Brothers"

Aunty Jodie and me were those crazy fans kept yelling and waving our hands at our IDOL who were singing like a SUPERSTAR!! haha!! and Andrew look more like a ROCKSTAR when he sang the song "we will rock you". He even acting like he was playing a electical guitar!!! What an awesome performance by Andrew!!

Our dinner ends with the Executive Chef of the Royal China restaurant, toasting us GOOD health and prosperity ^^
A very friendly chef!! Since last two years I guess, every time when we foot the bill, he will come in and make a toast with us.

Tomorrow, my sister will be going back to KL, cousins, relatives and friends also going back by tomorrow. Will be missing them so much, miss the wonderful moments we spent together.

I notice my mummy was so happy this few days, that three of her children gather happily at home, making noises.

After tomorrow, sister will be back, I will be back, left my dad, mum, and younger bro at home.
When dad is working, bro is schooling, left my mum alone at home.
Somehow, I can feel her loneliness, and
that's how I understand the importance of Chinese New Year, the importance of Reunion dinner, the importance of family members gather together.
Mummy will always miss their children, and

I super disagree the statement made by one of my Chinese lecturer who did not cancel the class during CNY week, he said "if you skip my class, you skip your future!"

My ASS! MY ASS!! MY ASS!!! MY ASS!!!! MY ASS!!!!!

Although my hometown is in Ipoh 40mins drive from my home, but I seldom go back, even if I go back also just for one and two days, do you think it is enough to fill up the loneliness of your parents? No!!
Why can't go back earlier and got few more extra days accompany our family?
What if worst still for those who staying far away from Perak state! Kinda disappointed and upset when he said like that.
What to do?? Gonna study hard for my last semester!!
Will be back to the busy student life real soon!!
Gonna end up the very last piece of my work on my Final Year Project.
Gonna tidy up my feelings. Feel so tired and exhausted as this few days kept going here and there to visit my friends and relatives, and be a driver for my uncles, aunties and cousins, Honestly is my pleasure fetching you guys. =D
Have a safe journey back, and no matter how busy we are always remember to phone back our parents and visit them more often. You have no idea how much they miss us!!

Love,
Stanley
