It's Weekend! (Part 2)

The first post was a long long post. Thus I decided to segregate them into two posts. I created the previous post on Wednesday and completed it only on Friday. Oh boy! Tomorrow is weekend. In fact, now is already weekend because now is the mid-night of Friday. Weekend comes and passes. At times, simply hope that everyday is weekend. Then I can have the full day of sleep and rest! But after joining GRA, it seems that everyday I'm able to sleep until late morning. The laziness in me is growing. It shouldn't be that way. I should learn to be hardworking and start to concentrate in my research.

By the way, back to the topic. The post is just to share some of my activities over the weekends.

My favourite chocolate fondue!
 It is an average chocolate fondue. But it is worth for its price as it costs only RM8.50. It is a great release stress option. Having the chocolate fondue in the pressuring and stressful moments are just a simple gift from the angel.

Did I just turned into a polariod photographer? Absolutely no! It was my cousin's polaroid camera. I simply grab it and pose for the sake of fun. It was cute though, with the casing and camera. It was rather an expensive and bulky camera I presume. Still, I prefer to snap shoots with my 'not really smart'-phone for the handy and convenience.

The adorable and love polaroid camera
 Melaka town had a just newly opened Western-cuisine restaurant. It is called Kensington. It is a middle-classed franchise Western restaurant.The restaurant originated from Seremban. The restaurant offered large range of Western cuisine and also some Asian food. Generally, the food is fine and charged at a affordable price

The 'thumbs-up' mushroom soup. Everybody's favourite

Chicken lasagne

Two sake bottles for the beer, cheers for the Malaysia Day

Wedding dinner of ex-colleague, what an awesome wedding dinner with lovely couple on the day of full moon, fourteenth of the eighth month! Simply wish happiness and bliss surrounds them

The singing session on Sunday noon.  The greatest moment to relieve tension and stress of the week!

Convocation 2012

We've arrived to the biggest event of the year for a university, which if the 12th convocation! It had been a year since my convocation. Never ever thought that I'll be joining the following convocation. I do not join as graduates but I joined as a crew helping around the convocation neither nor I'm the convocation committee,I'm just helping around the events during convocation such as distributing of items thus it is more like being a general worker then.

This year it is rather special. All the faculties are having a so-called 'tea garden party'. But with limited resources, I doubt graduates are able to enjoy the big party. I heard that this party was abolished since three years ago. Thus during my convocation, such party does not exist.
Both of my cousins will be graduating in this current convocation. A big congratulations to both of them! Simply proud of them. Spectating graduates graduated in their convocation, hopefully that I'm able to graduate within 2 years.

Once again, congratulations to the graduates of 2012.

Brought my cousin a simple gift, hope she would like it. The gift is intentioned to be a decoration item for the new workplace in Singapore. Hope she'll build a successful career.

The blessing gift :)

It's Weekends!

This is a post-weekend post. I should have wrote the post past few weeks. Unfortunately I just couldn't find the time to sort my pictures to finalise the post.

It is Wednesday today! The mid-day of the week. I feel rather frustrated but trying my very best to stay positive and to be cherished. My days recently wasn't really busy but they were melancholic. I'm glad that I still able to maintain my outing level to prevent the gloomy and moody overwhelmed my days. I shouldn't act so negatively. Negative is always not the option that I would opt for.

But still, I enjoyed my weekends. I went to Jonker on one of the Sunday in September. It was a trip to search for painting for my friend's new house. It was a bright sunny Sunday. I woke up as early as 8 a.m. to get an early breakfast in the traditional coffee shop. After the traditional breakfast, I headed to Jonker Street. It was an awesome experience because I walked with my friend from Bunga Raya to Jonker. I guess, that Sunday was the day I walked the most in Melaka. In Melaka, we have the habit of driving from a place to a place even though it is a very short distance. We seldom walked from a place to a place. We have the myth and anxiety of being snatched or kidnapped. Well, this is level of safety in Malaysia. You can easily being snatched or kidnapped while walking by the roadside. Perhaps, I've enlarged the scenario but that's my personal perception as my mum would always remind me of the roadside safety. 

While waiting from another group of friends, I managed to catch some time for praying. I prayed and informed daddy that I've changed my job and pursuing master. I believed he will be relieved and proud of me. Then, there's a Taosim parade by the street. Thus just simply have some shoots of the characters by the road side. They were so cute and adorable. On top of all, they danced 'Oppa gangnam style' the most famous Korean dance right now. I guess the popularity of Korean 'Oppa gangnam style' is almost simliar to the our Chinese Kung Fu in the Western countries. After found 'the wanted' drawing, we went for lunch in an old and famous coffee shop. It was my first time eating there. Since I do not stay in town area, thus I seldom have the chance to eat the traditional and old coffee shops in Melaka town. Further, Melaka town now are congested with tourist during weekends. My friends and I headed to the mall for the quest of convocation preparation. I've graduated last year. My task this year is to be the advisor to shop for convocation. It was a pleasant quest as I've forgotten when is the last time I went shopping and had such a great shopping time. Specially thanks to her that I have the chance to loiter around as it had been long time ago when I'm able to loiter around. The best is always last resort of the day. I had a Thai cuisine as dinner on that Sunday. My mum had longed for Thai food. Finally I'm able to bring for the Thai food

Simply shared some shoots of that fortified Sunday
