Lunch @ Little Chutney's Indian Restaurant

2011-02-15T02:29:00.012+08:00

I must say that my experience was really awful, the worst ever!

Here goes the story. Last year, I bought myself two vouchers at a website since it was having promotions. I was so busy that I did not have time to go until yesterday.

I called, given my name, made a reservation for 2, arriving at 1pm.

When you are looking forward to something, you actually expect it to be real good. But damn, no one actually served us when we got in. We were the ones who approached them. I told them I booked a table for 2. They did not seem to bother what I said.

*Skip*

So we were seated, showed them the voucher, and asked what drink we would like to have. Later it took them more than 5 minutes to take our orders. Considering it was not that busy, I thought it was quite bad. About 10 to 15 minutes later, a couple were seated next to our table. I must say they treated us like we were not a valued customer or anything like that, their attitude was totally different. They were so nice to the couple. Maybe because we were using the vouchers or something?

*Skip*

What utmost ridiculous was, their food came earlier than us. Why on earth did their food come earlier than us when we came so much more earlier than them? The owner or the manager even told them their food won't be long but not me and my sister.

*Skip*

Food finally came, totally disappointed. Food portion was so small. The voucher says $27 worth of food. So in theory, it should be like those the couple ordered. I mean the price of the set menu, which they ordered, was only $20. And the voucher says $27 worth of food. How can we only have small portion? Should be like theirs. They had desserts, a few choices of curries, rice and naan. We just had lamb and beef curry with rice as well as naan, only half a portion.

*Skip*

The more I say, the furious I am. Anyway, I won't be returning to this restaurant, ever. Food was not good. In terms of customer service, I would give them 0 out of 5 stars, food would be 2 out of 5 stars, the ambiance would be 3 out of 5 stars.

The Very Unusual Me

2011-02-12T04:40:00.016+08:00

It is 4am (GMT +8), a very unusual of me doing the assignment at this hour. That is my desk which I do most of my stuffs, like eating, taking pictures, studying, just to name a few.

What's on my desk? Cables, sticky notes, cologne, lotion, sunscreen, face-cream, obviously books and papers, last but not least the certificate (the one with a chicken on it). I was awarded $20 cause I finished the online training for work in the 2nd position. Hence I won the prize.

Current thoughts? I just want to finish the bloody assignment as soon as possible so that I can enjoy my holidays in Melbourne and Sydney! Talking about holidays, it actually stresses me inside out for I have to take another leave when I just took a leave for my internship last month. I might get fired or something? That's why I hate planning things ahead. You just can't go the way you want it to be. It is always different. But when you didn't plan things ahead and let it go with the flow, amazingly things will go the way you wanted it to be. That's life.

Anyway, I shall get back to my work now. Have a good one.

Update: I went to sleep after I posted this. I was so tired that I could hardly read anymore.

South Cottesloe Beach

2011-02-09T13:23:00.014+08:00

Beach. Have I told you how much I love beach? But not all, only beach with soft sand, clear water and clean surroundings will attract me. It is a place where I can find peace, calm, happiness and stress-free.

Did you notice the chopper in the pic above?

Look how nice the sand is.

Stairway to heaven, I call it. HAHA.

I still don't know what that is. Seaweed?

Smith's Lamb & Mint Flavour Chips

2011-02-07T21:34:00.008+08:00

Eww.. The worst chips I have ever had. I mean this flavour they have, taste like shit. Maybe not shit since I have never eaten one before nor I know how it tastes like. Ok. So the chips taste really bad, awful, disgusting, gross, terrible, nasty and um.. no good. It is limited edition some more, not worth buying. My ratings? 0 out of 5 stars. I am sorry. I just don't know how to appreciate it.

ps: I prefer the Heinz big red flavour. What about you? Care to share your "I-ate-some-disgusting-chips" experience?

Somerset @ St Georges Terrace, Perth

2011-02-06T09:43:00.008+08:00

Last week, I got a chance to stay at this serviced apartment for 2 nights. My experience was ok. The location is perfect. But since it is perfect, there is always something bad. Nothing is perfect. Right? I mean, you would expect yourself to be in the hustle and bustle of city life. Especially at night, the sound produced by the exhaust pipe of the cars can be really annoying at times. So if you want a quiet place to stay, this is not for you. Also, I got very annoyed when they charged us for parking in their hotel. I would expect a free one since the room for a night itself is not cheap. I did not try their breakfast or dinner menu cause I thought I can get cheaper and tastier food around the city, which was true. Long story short, I would give 3.8 out of 5 stars rating. I might consider to stay again next time but I believe there are much more cheaper and better serviced apartments out there.

The mirror that you will see once you entered the room. I love it. Big enough to see myself naked in the mirror, with fats hanging around the tummy.

*just joking*

I thought there was a microwave or something as seen on the Somerset's webpage. Guess it is different room then?

The bed was comfortable but a bit too small for my liking. I like the chair beside the bed. What is it called?

Table was too small, cannot put too much stuffs on it. And I don't like the television. It's apparently too old and does not really match the 'feel' in the room.

There you go, a full view of the chair I was talking about. For sure I am going to get one similar in the future. I wonder when that will be?

I kinda like the concept of having sliding door at the bathroom. It is quite romantic if you were to stay with your partner. What about with your family? Awkward?

I must say the toilet was so small that I could hardly fit myself in. LOL. Just joking, I am not that fat.

I got all excited because of the jacuzzi. I tried it for the first time in my life. Please don't laugh at me. I know I am acting a bit like a country boy.

The view you can see from the room. Mind you, if you were going to stay with your partner here, please bring more cash or make sure you have enough money. King Street is right on the corner of the picture above, where you can find Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Gucci.

I guess you do not have to worry about too much since the bank is opposite the hotel. Maybe just borrow a loan or something if you are really in need. LOL.

The Year of Bunny

2011-02-05T20:01:00.009+08:00

I would like to wish everyone, for those who celebrates or does not celebrate, a very happy Chinese New Year. While everyone was celebrating this festive season with their families and friends, I was working all day long. I did not get a chance to spend the new year with my parents which was rather disappointing. However, there are more chances in the future, just hope that I won't miss out again. May you all be blessed with good lucks, good fortunes, good futures, good.. Um, everything is good. Happy Bunny Year.

It's Here!

2011-01-25T22:40:00.009+08:00

After I got home from work, walking back to my room, when I was about to put my stuff down, I saw a letter on my table. I looked at the stamp to see where it is from, the first thing that came across my mind was, "Are you serious?" Surprisingly, it was from Canada. I felt like I was on cloud nine when I saw the cheque. Yes, it was the cheque I was waiting for like 2 months and finally it's here. Thank God it has finally arrived.

Right after that, sister came to me with a dessert she made while I was at work. Banana crepe? Banana pie or banana waffle?

Obviously there is the icing sugar on top, not forgetting the vanilla ice-cream, my all-time-favourite.

This is how it looks like when cut into half.

Can you see the smashed bananas in there?

Drooling? Well I bet you do. It was not too sweet, not too bland, just right on the spot. I believe it is easy to be made since my sister only started baking not long ago. I will get the recipe and post it up soon or later. So, stay tuned.

I Ate These On Sunday

2011-01-24T22:02:00.008+08:00

As for breakfast, I had an oven-baked chicken schnitzel burger with extra bbq sauce. That's the way I like it, with the sauce oozing out. Yummm~

Thought it would not be enough so I made cheat version egg tarts. Again, it was slightly burnt.

Since I made those cheat version egg tarts, sister got excited and suggested we should make the authentic ones. So out we went to the nearest grocery store and bought some ingredients home. And there you go, she made 12 of them. They tasted good. In fact, they look good too.

This is the dessert I had after dinner, called rockmelon sago dessert. Sister made it with coconut milk, sago and rockmelon. It was not what I expected but turned out pretty good. I had a couple of them and I am sure I gained a few kilos by now.

Photo Sharing Moments

2011-01-22T08:49:00.007+08:00

These were taken a few days ago, with my new camera - the Lumix LX5.

The laksa which was dinner the other night. I am still learning the art of food pictures.

Love.

ps: What do you think of the pictures? I am still learning so don't be harsh.

Awesome Gadget Ever

2011-01-21T21:55:00.007+08:00

You heard me! Yes, I got myself a lovely camera. I would like to introduce you my newly added awesome, funky, mind blowing compact camera - the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. I got it for $475, with shipping fees included, not forgetting the free gifts, all the way from Hong Kong. Not too expensive, or maybe cheap, considering the camera itself is actually priced at $799, at the Panasonic retail store. Little did you know that photography has became my hobby.

Only a month left till I travel to the east of Australia - Melbourne and Sydney. A trip that I have been looking forward to ever since I stepped onto the land of Australia. I could not keep still. I bounced about in happiness when I finally bought the tickets. My next destination? Maybe Bali, Singapore or Hong Kong. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, that's all I guess. I'll blog next time, probably on the Australian Day, 26th January.

ps: I was too busy blogging that I forgot to turn off the gas. Lovely sister came to the rescue, thank you sis! I might start posting up pictures in the future.

Egg Tarts (Cheat Version)

2011-01-04T21:42:00.005+08:00

The cheat version of egg tarts. Tasted okay, not too bad, slightly burnt though. Well, don't expect it to be like the authentic egg tarts. The texture is different but taste quite similar. I might try to bake the authentic ones next. Only when I have got time on hand.

What do you think of my egg tarts?

ps: That's how I spent my Tuesday. What about you?

Love You MOM

2010-12-04T00:02:00.006+08:00

"Even if I can give to my mother....all the money, house, best facilities, health care and every possible good things that I can think of in this world.....Even after her death, if I do thousands and thousands of good merits on behalf of her......Still I owe her so many things."

"I will never be able to give her back what she had given to me.....what she continues to give me.....what she will continue to give me till her last breath.....LIFE! To my mother, giver of my life and to all the mothers of the world....I bow down and pay you all my veneration. _/\_"

"Never ever make your mother cry! Never ever make your mother sad! Even at the risk of your life,which is given to you by your mother....always but always make her happy!"

Copied from a friend of mine. Loved it. And I love my mom. She's the best. Not forgetting her birthday which is next week, I would like to take this opportunity to wish my mom a happy birthday. I hope that we could celebrate her birthday every year.

Too Quick

2010-12-01T22:48:00.005+08:00

It's 1st of December.

Time flies, it really does.

Hope you're enjoying the festive month.

ps: It's the worst post I have ever written.

I have 250 songs on my phone.

There are some which I often listen to.

There are some which I seldom listen to.

There are some which I have never listened to.

And there are some which I did not even know they exist.

Top 10 most played songs. Listed out according to my phone.

1. Ave Maria - Beyoncé

2. If I Were A Boy - Beyoncé

3. Halo - Beyoncé

4. Just Stand Up

5. Airplanes - B.O.B ft. Hayley Williams

6. Disappear - Beyoncé

7. Smash Into You - Beyoncé

8. Broken-Hearted Girl - Beyoncé

9. Single Ladies - Beyoncé

10. Bad Romance - Lady Gaga

I know what you are thinking. And yes, I love Beyoncé. Nothing wrong with that?

ps: I need new songs. Sick of listening to the same old tunes over and over again, like everyday.

39 Degrees Celsius is NOT A JOKE

2010-11-22T12:52:00.004+08:00

If you have followed me on twitter, you would know that I have been complaining about the weather in Perth for the past few days. In fact, it has been bothering me for weeks already.

1. It got too warm at night, which made me couldn't sleep at all. And I skipped class because of that. I was just too tired.

2. It got so hot in the kitchen at work that I had to hide myself in the frozen fridge for a while. In fact, everyone at work did that constantly, or maybe even throughout summer.

Anyway, I was born and had been living in this kinda weather everyday for the past 16 years. And hot weather is not a problem for me at all. It is just the matter of fact that I am used to the cold nights for the past 4-5 months.

ps: Highest temperature was 39 degrees last week.

Short Update

2010-11-06T23:47:00.004+08:00

It's November, Christmas is around the corner!

Oh, it rhymes.

I don't know what to write now but had lots of ideas before.

I guess I have a short term memory, so does my manager told me at work. I guess he's right.

Anyway, booked my trip to Melbourne, which will be in March 2011, still thinking of Sydney or even further, New Zealand since travelling from Melbourne to anywhere of the east is cheap. You heard me, dirt cheap!

I have always been busy with my studies, not forgetting my part-time job. If everything goes well and smoothly, I will be doing my internship at a big company next year. Wonder how would it be like? It sounds good but at the same time, scary.

Next, there is a new frozen coke machine at the store I am working. I got so excited that I had like 5 large frozen coke and raspberry per day, only if I am working. I guess I couldn't stop myself but have to, since drinking much of them doesn't contribute to a healthy body or lifestyle.

There are so much dramas at work lately, which I do not want to talk about it anymore. I just want to show my gratitude to my manager, who has been helping me through the hard times I was having.

Last but not least, life would have been so much more easier if people could be nice and kind to each other, than being stubborn, selfish, you-name-it.

YAY For Myself

2010-10-08T10:38:00.002+08:00

I finally got the concept of something which I hated most last time. I didn't know it was that interesting. If you were my trainer earlier, my life would have been much more easier. Whether I like doing the course or not, it is another case.

ps: Apparently sister didn't like the bag I bought her. That's very disappointing.

I Am A Slave

2010-10-03T01:29:00.008+08:00

"Would I want to see the world out there more or would I want high-end branded things more?", I asked myself.

"What's the point buying expensive bags?", I asked myself.

"What will I get for buying expensive bags?", I asked myself.

"Are you really happy to buy such things?", I asked myself.

"Why are you so materialistic?", I asked myself.

There was one night, I questioned myself before I fell asleep. I was utterly disgusted by the attitude that I have towards the branded labels myself. I could hardly answer any of those questions because I don't know what I really want. Well I can't say I don't know because I want both, to be honest. But the thing is, nothing will ever come to you when you want them.

Am I a slave for the high-end branded labels? You decide.

ps: I only realised that there was not a single post in September. How amazing? One word to describe my September, BUSY.

Do Whatever It Takes To Protect Them

2010-08-21T21:38:00.003+08:00

Love your family.

They are the only people you can trust.

Protect your family.

Make sure no one's hurt.

Appreciate your family.

Because you won't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Look after your family.

No one deserves to be hurt.

I love my dad. I love my mom. I love my sister. I love my brother. In a nutshell, I love my family.

Ramadan Greetings

2010-08-20T14:24:00.004+08:00

Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food and drink. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are exempted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed.The fasting during Ramadan is regarded principally as a method of self purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry as well as growth in one's spiritual life.

I, hereby, would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Muslim friends, a very happy fasting month.

It's Hump Day

2010-08-18T21:02:00.002+08:00

I often judge things by their cover. For example, restaurants. Amazingly, restaurants in Perth may not have a good 'look', they look ugly inside-out. However, they serve very nice food.

It was this afternoon, my friend brought me to this restaurant. He told me they serve good food and most importantly, the price is cheap. So I thought, yea why not? When we arrived, I was a bit shocked when he pointed at the restaurant. It looks old. It is small. It did really turn me off at first. Not anymore after that. In fact, I would love to go back for a second shoot.

The owners were very friendly. They kept talking to us. The food, could be categorised as the most authentic Chinese food I ever had in Perth. They were amazingly good, not oily at all, also made me felt like I was in my hometown. I went home like a 5 year old kid later then. I was very happy.

Well, at least I won't be judging the restaurants by the way they look from now.

After all, I miss my hometown. I miss the food. I miss my parents. I miss the people, the things I have spent most time with. I miss everything.

ps: It is hump day. Two days more till the weekend. Are you not excited?

Not A Boy, Not Yet A Man

2010-08-17T21:49:00.004+08:00

I was talking to my aunt on Facebook. She said time passes really fast. Indeed.

Remember when I was young, if I were hungry, all I had to do was to tell mom, and she will cook me a nice meal.

Things have changed. I have to prepare my own meal if I am hungry. I have to do most things on my own, with no one's help. I shall say I now hold more responsibilities than I used to have, again. I just can't stop telling myself that I am already 18. How pathetic!

ps: I paid a little bit more attention today in class. At least I understood what he was teaching.

Never Try, Never Know

2010-08-16T20:36:00.005+08:00

I have made a few decisions with a view to getting better results in my studies.

1. No more Facebook games.

2. Sleep before 12am every night, unless I have to work.

3. Do at least two hours of revision at home every day.

4. Pay more attention in class.

I know I am probably faking from number 2 onwards. Well, I promise I will try my best. Okay?

*Have a big plan for the future. Fingers crossed. Not forgetting it is Valentine's Day for the Chinese, according to the lunar calendar. Anyway, have a good night everyone.*

Know Me Better

2010-08-15T20:30:00.006+08:00

Ten random facts about me.

1. I talk more on the net than in the real world.

2. I look forward to going to school, only when there are cool classmates and/or a funny teacher.

3. I hate my part-time job, but I love the fact that I am earning money.

4. I get tired easily, regardless of what I do.

5. I am very careless. I always hurt myself.

6. I like food, particularly spicy food.

7. I am more into studying than computer games.

8. I am not a nerd. I am not trying or going to be one.

9. I love the fact that I am 18. However, I hate the fact that I no longer need a guardian to sign an agreement or a contract on behalf of me.

10. I love taro milk tea. It makes me happy. Even so, I feel guilty after consuming it. *high calories*

It is your turn to tell me more about yourself. *wink*

ps: I had an extremely bad way to start my lovely, beautiful Sunday.

Gratify Your Day

2010-08-13T13:30:00.004+08:00

Below are some jokes I came across. Enjoy!

A three-year-old boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath. Mom he asked, "Are these my brains?". "Not yet," she replied.

******

A young boy asks his Dad, "What is the difference between confident and confidential?" Dad says, "You are my son, I'm confident about that. Your friend over there, is also my son, that's confidential."

******

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

******

When I was a kid, I used to pray for a new bike. But then I realised that the lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me!

******

A man walks into a bar and orders a shot, then looks into his pocket. He does this over and over again. Finally the bartender asks why he orders a shot and after drinking it, he looks into his pocket. The man responded, "I have a picture of my wife in there and when she starts to look good, then I'll go home."

******

"It's clear that you haven't studied your geography. What's your excuse?" said the teacher. "Well, my dad says the world is changing everyday, so I decided to wait until it settles down!"

******

A blonde's house is on fire. She runs outside and yells, "Help me! My house is on fire! What do I do?!" Someone else yells, "Call 911!" The blonde yells back, "What's the number?"

The Real Deal

2010-08-12T21:45:00.007+08:00

As an iPhone user, I am always looking for great apps. Unfortunately, great apps (most of the time) are not free. Consequently, you have to buy them. And thus, you spend a vast amount of money.

Recently, I found a website selling iTunes account at a very low price and I could download up to a specific amount. My experience, I bought an account for about US$45 and was able to download anything on iTunes up to US$300, depending on the package you bought.

How did they do that? I don't know. Google it yourself if you are interested. Too good to be true? I know. But certainly not a scam.

ps: Rewarded myself with taro milk tea with pearls for passing my exam with flying colors. I felt like I was in heaven.

The Companions

2010-08-11T19:55:00.003+08:00

We laugh out loud, we cry out loud.

We crack jokes, we spread gossip.

We scream audibly, we whisper secretly.

We run at a slow pace, we walk at a fast pace.

We play hardly, we study softly.

We shop till we drop, we eat till we regurgitate.

My friends, my loves, my everything. I miss every single of you. Did you have a good day?

Financial Management Skills Need to be Brushed Up

2010-08-08T21:45:00.008+08:00

15 minutes, till I win the iPhone case I am bidding on...

Again, I am buying stuff for my baby. No need to say more - waste of money. I shall save up for something better in the near future. Oh, I am planning a short trip after the very, very long study. I need a break and to see what is out there I have not yet discovered. I might not be able to make it though. Anyway, will see how it goes.

*Update: I won the item. It costs only 90 cents. Cheap aye?*

The Moment in Hell

2010-08-08T00:03:00.006+08:00

It has been a really long day.

I went to work at 3.30pm, finished at 10.15pm. Imagine, standing from the start till the end, washing and drying the plates, walking and running from one end to the other, no breaks in between. How would you feel? Just looking at the plates piling up like the books in the library, has already driven you nuts.

Being a kitchenhand is never an easy job. Everything has to be done quickly and efficiently. Please appreciate your food if you are dining out. Also, stick to using only a few plates and cutlery. Save my job, your job, the environment.

"Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure." - Oprah Winfrey

The Not-So-Productive Night

2010-08-06T22:54:00.009+08:00

Told myself to study, to be prepared for the forthcoming exams. However, I failed to do so. Once again, I was so not productive. I got distracted, looking at other things.

One of all, facebook.com. It has given me so much problems ever since I joined it. Well, why bother using it if you are complaining? Three words - I am addicted. Just like cigars. You know they are bad for you but you just want to have them very, very much.

*Oh, I do not smoke, just to give you an image of how facebook.com has affected me*

Next, eBay.com. I keep on buying accessories for my baby iPhone. I do not know why? Are you able to help me understand myself? I do not even know myself, how bad that is.

*Just joking!! I do know what I am doing :P Just could not afford to elaborate more here*

Last but not least, stupid iPhone games. Oh not my baby iPhone, but the stupid games in it. Argh, I am a loser.

*Not at all. I am not a loser. Only loser will think negatively. Am I? Apparently in the middle of yes and no :s*

ps: Neighbour is making so much noise. Wait and see. I will call the police and lodge a complaint soon. Sister is still working. I guess that is life till we found a better job.

Fever in July

2010-08-06T14:16:00.012+08:00

1. iPhone Cases

I have purchased 4 iPhone cases off eBay in a month. I now love my baby iPhone so much. No doubt it looks cute in all the iPhone cases. They are dirt cheap by the way. I spent less than AU$2 for 4, not forgetting the free shipping cost all the way from Hong Kong and Mainland China. Amazing?

2. Ice-cream

My all time favourite. If you know me well, you know I am crazy, insane, or even mad after ice-cream. I bought a 4 litres box of ice-cream at Woolworths when it was on offer. It has strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavours. I love strawberry most of all. Sound feminine?

3. Fish 'n' Chips

The so-called 'must-try' food when you are visiting Perth. I personally do not like it that much but somehow I am appealed to it. Should you try it? Up to you, really. One piece of advice for you, do not expect it to be really good. It is just a simple dish with deep fried fish and chips.

4. Casino

I spent my 18th birthday at the local casino, which is approximately 15 minutes by car from my place. I liked it there. Certainly not gambling, but the environment. It is so lively and bustling. Am I going back there anytime soon? Should be.

ps: I will be really busy soon. Assignments, exams, work, never ending story.

Staring at the Endless Road

2010-08-04T21:16:00.006+08:00

When I want to write something here, my mind always goes blank.

When I do not want it to, my mind always has fantastic ideas.

Not sure what is wrong? Is it just me? Or, are you and I on the same boat?

To write something about your outings with friends, your day at school or your newly bought item, is easy. However, to write something meaningful, is hard.

Again, is it just me? Or, are you and I on the same boat?

I pondered... and wondered.

Never Regret What You Have Done

2010-08-03T21:52:00.005+08:00

If and only if I had been more hardworking,
things would not be like present.

If and only if I had been more productive,
things would not be like present.

If and only if...
I could wind time back to the past.

ps: I had a long day at college. Trainer was dead boring. Exam tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

2010-07-30T15:05:00.008+08:00

It was the day Mommy felt pain,
It was the day Daddy felt excited,
It was the day everyone was waiting anxiously for my arrival.

Tik-tok Tik-tok...

Time went by,
Mom was trying really hard to push me out,
I was struggling to get out of Mommy's womb.

U-waaa U-waaa

Finally,
I was born.
Daddy was happy,

Mommy was exhausted.

It took them years (or should I say whole life?) to educate their little brat,
It took me years to understand their purpose for beating me up with the cane I hate most.
I am now 18th, already an adult (as if),
I now hold more responsibilites than I used to have.

A big surprise from Mommy,
Wrote me a birthday card before she left for Malaysia,
Told sister to give it to me on my birthday.
Thank you Mommy, not forgetting Daddy.

30th July 2010,
The cruellest birthday in my life.
Turning 18th,
without parents by my side.

I shall be with them 3 years later,
the day which I will be turning 21st.

ps: Thank you all who showered me with birthday cards and wishes. Love you all.

I Am Restless

I need a break,
I am running out of energy.

I need a break,
I am exhausted.

I need a break,
I am worn out.

I need a break,
I am not a robot which can work continuously.

I need a break,
A really, really long break...

Accomplishment

If you decided to do something, make sure you accomplish it wonderfully. *Are you all not proud of yourselves if you have done something perfectly?* Whether you failed or not, at least you have tried your very best. Often, people tends to rely on others to get their job done or gives up half-way through the project. Why not take it and give it a go? You will never know the ending result if you did not give it a try. Learn something while you can, before it is too late. Knowledge is what you get, experience is what you would not forget.

ps: I have done my homework. Have you?

"Whenever you feel like giving up, think of the reason you held on for so long.."

It makes sense but somehow it cannot be related to all aspects of life. To give up or not, it all depends on ourselves, never make the wrong decision and regret after that. If we made the wrong decision, accept the outcome and find a solution to overcome the problem. In the meantime, experience it. After all, life is full of ups and downs.
