Japanese Language Festival (Day 1)

Japanese Language Festival was held in Sekolah Menengah (P) Jalan Ipoh on last weekend :) As a level 2 Japanese Language student, I was given an opportunity to participate in this festival (actually it's a festival for secondary school Japanese Language Club) *giggle* Anyway it's good to learn something and have fun in this kind of event rite? Let's cut the chase, times for photos (captured by Kristy)!

With my housemates/coursemates :) This festival was held for 2 days. First day- market & Second day- cultural workshops. So we just roamed around the market and maybe spoke some simple Japanese words. Rule of the day- the more Japanese words you communicate during a bargain, the cheaper the stuffs!

Origami (Japanese Paper Craft)- Can't imagine they can fold all these cute little stuffs by hands! So interesting!

I love the red rose! So nicely folded, can't imagine it's made by paper unless I look at it closely.

And the penguin as well! So CUTE!!!  <3 

Pretty Japanese Doll.

Playing Kanji-Hiragana word matching game. Actually I not yet learn kanji at my level, but since it's almost same with mandarin, I just guess it. LOL

 

It's always the delicious food when we think of Japan! Tempura, ramen, udon, sushi, doraeyaki, takoyaki etc. Menu of the day! Do you know how to read it? haha..

Students from UPM who attended the event :)

Stay tuned for day 2- cultural workshops. The workshops that I had chosen include yukata, aikido and furoshiki :) Interesting classes with Japanese sensei!

Veet 'My Real Secret' College Programme (UPM)

Finally, Veet 'My Real Secret' College Programme is in UPM! :D Just get to know it's in the main campus on the day, so I go with my housemates after Japanese class.  

Pictures time <3 All SOOC as I'm a lazy bum, dun likey to photoshop. Be prepared to see my unphotoshop old face.

#1 The booth (not many people around the time when we reach, but it's getting better afterward)

#2 Products :) Selling at lower price!!

#3 Listening to the product details explained by the friendly promoters. My friend and I bought the cream and wax strips to give it a try.

#4 Everyone who purchases any of the products gets a free photo snap! Obviously it's not the below photo, but the one I'm holding (look darn tired after class) lol

#5 Back to the product that I've chosen, it's Veet Suprem' Essence Wax Strip. I found it easy and convenient to be used and definitely suitable for students who are always hurry just like us. Plus it's a longer lasting method, really worth a try!

Here are some easy steps to use it:

1. Rub the wax strip between your hands for approximately 5 seconds to warm the wax.

2. Slowly peel the strips apart.

3. Place the strip in the direction of hair growth, and remove it against the direction of hair growth by holding the EasyGrip Tab.

4. The faster you remove the strip, the more effective it will be.

5. Repeat the application in a consistent pattern; re-use each strip until it loses its stickiness.

6. When you have finished, remove any excess wax with a Veet Perfect Finish wipe.

If you prefer a more common application, you can opt for the hair removal cream which leaves a lingering floral smell.

Try the Veet Suprem’ Essence Cream as the following simple steps:

1. Use Veet Suprem’ Essence after a warm (not hot) bath or shower when the hair is softened and pores are open.

2. Be generous when applying the hair removal cream and do not rub it in. Just smooth on a thick layer with the curved part of the specially designed spatula.

3. Relax while the cream works and leave it on for a minimum of 3 minutes and maximum of 6 minutes.

4. Once done, rinse your skin thoroughly under the shower. 

Veet Suprem’ Essence promises a hassle-free method leaving your legs smooth, silky and stubble-free. The cream gradually softens hair follicles in just 3-5 minutes and is perfect for girls who need a quick fuss-free fix!

a)  Veet Suprem’ Essence contains patented Hydro'Restor formula that helps to replenish your skin’s hydration levels. This premium product has been specially formulated with a blend of essential oils and a new velvet rose fragrance to leave your skin feeling silky, soft and fresh.

b)   Veet Suprem’ Essence is designed to open the hair cuticles and penetrate deeper into the root of the hair, allowing your skin to be hair-free for as long as two to four weeks.
c)   With longer lasting smoothness and beautiful skin, women can now shed their insecurities about speedy hair growth and confidently remove prickly stubbles in just three minutes. 

"Thanks Veets for giving us opportunity to feel the difference & understand that beauty is not hard to attain."

Girls, no more waiting! Bring your old razor and be the first 50 to dump it in order to get a free removing cream! Participate in lucky draw, and also purchase the products for free photo snap!

Malacca #5: Cockles and Fried Oyster @Jalan Bunga Raya

Again my Malacca post is coming up, hope you all won't be bored of my countless posts on Malacca lol Back to the topic, this time we are going to a stall in an alley of Jalan Bunga Raya which is famous for the seafood such as cockles, clams, field snails, bean curd, fried fish ball, squid and etc. If you don't mind the clamped dirty place and longkang smell, this might be a good spot for seafood :) Anyway it's quite a famous spot, airing @HoChak! 8TV before. 

Anyway I don't really like the seafood there because the cockles are too raw and I really can't accept the snails *yucks* but I think it's quite cheap although I already forgot the actual price lol 

Then we proceed to another alley, also around Jalan Bunga Raya, which is famous for fried oyster omelette. Many people are lining up for it. I really highly recommend this because it's very delicious, comparable to Penang! And I really wanna crave for more after finishing up it with my friends.

The seafood stall and this fried oyster only opens after 7pm. You may give it a try when going to Malacca :) Around 15-20 minutes walk from Jonker Street :D

Behind the scene:

When we were eating halfway at the seafood stall, suddenly the strong wind blew away the advertisement board and then the light at our table suddenly shut off, followed by big stormy downpour. It really freaked us out! Then we paid the bill frantically and ran to the shop lot out of the dark alley. The rain was too heavy and we couldn't walk back to the hotel. I planned to buy an umbrella but ended up all of us bought raincoats. 

We look like murderers at rainy night huh?

-The End-

Encouragement from daddy :)

Today dad gave me a call and shared an article he read on this morning about our education system. Suddenly he spoke to me about life and future but seriously he seldom talked to me in this serious manner. He encouraged me to have a positive disposition to life and tried to change my future. Doesn't mean what I'm studying now must be my future career as we always have a chance to change it. 

"People doesn't give a damn on what you're studying but what you can handle during working. As long as you bear interest and commit it, you could have a bright future. Forget about the past and don't blame the government or society. I can see it obviously since you're small, you're gifted so don't waste your talent. I feel sad when you said what you're studying now is useless and I blame myself because I can't afford to give you a better education. I never speak to you like this but actually I'm not stupid. I can see it. Do you really wanna be a nutritionist? You must know what you want. Once you figure it out and strive towards it, you would be excellent. Life is too short, just pursue what you like after graduating next year." 

Although it might be a random conversation between a father and daughter, but I seriously feel every word that he spoke to me. He's the only one in the world who knows me well. My biggest weakness is lack of determination and target. That's why he wants me to think what I want. Do I really wanna become a nutritionist? Since my early age, I'm good in many things but I don't really excel any of it. I never try to step out from my comfort zone. I've been thinking to be a lawyer/ fashion designer/ child medical specialist/ psychology and etc. My mind's a complete blank when applied for JPA after SPM and ended up I filled in the column with "pure science". Again I was wondering what I wanna study after STPM and ended up with nutrition. 

Anyway what I wanna focus now is my future. As the chinese saying goes, "how many 10 years do we really have in our life?" I should seize every precious moment in my life rather than stepping on the initial place and look at the past without proceeding to the next stop. I'm still in my learning process to improve myself and I'm sure it's never too late to mend. But at the moment now, I still want to continue with nutrition and pursue master/phD in overseas :) I feel grateful to have my family and home is forever the best shelter for me. I really appreciate the encouragement from my parents and sisters. Anyway this is life isn't it? Challenges are part and parcel of it. Just do whatever I feel right and live life to the fullest with a bright smile :D
