Switch On Xmas's Lights

Christmas is the celebration of Christ Jesus's Birthday.

UK, as a Christ country treats this season extremely important. It is a season of giving, and definitely a season of pocket empty as well. Shopping mall has extended their operation hours, streets are flooded with crowds, and most importantly discounting taps are everywhere in the shop.

In Malaysia, we love Christmas too because it is a holiday, it is a fun gathering time, it is a hyper happening time, it is party time and etc. Shops open till midnight, transports service will extend till midnight.

In UK, shops will be closed on 25th. Transports will be stopped on 25th. The streets should be empty at night. It is a family gathering. It is definitely churches' christmas dinner or party. Houses display Xmas trees, parents prepare gifts for their children, thinking to have a family feast together, and also attending churches, worship Lord and etc.

Normally streets will become empty after 5pm. The only going place will be pubs, casinos or take away shops. The life is boring, not as hectic as Malaysia.

The photos was taken at around 7pm. The sky turns to dark as earlier as 5pm. I hate photography at night, because it is extremely challenging to handle it. But I think I m getting better controlling it.

The venue is Drake Circus, and its surroundings. It is just opposite my University.

Enjoy the photos.

Merry Christmas

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Look Out Point, Ampang

To see Kuala Lumpur nightview, familiar people will tell you to go Look Out Point, Ampang. Cold breeze on your face, indeed refreshing your mind of a day, in provided that the surrounding is quiet. Look out the view from the tower, numerous of yellow lights like stars shining on you. The most attractive point will be KLCC. A romantic place to be, for couples. Please bring a camera, if not the view can't really be seen (like my photo above). It is best to calm yourself down, by looking at the night view. The surrounding is dim, and you could just be yourselves, without bothering anyone around you. The first time, I came with a down feeling, thus I felt better to do the same. There is few restaurants there. We tried Bread and Olives, as recommanded by my friends. The drink was so-so. The hot chocolate like milo, and the nescafe also like milo. Hot drink is not hot enough. Haha. But, most important thing is to get yourself a good seating to enjoy the night view. We ordered this. Thin ...
