Year 2011 - Looking back

In less than 3 days away we will be bidding goodbye to year 2011 and welcoming a new year 2012. Whether it was a good or bad year in 2011.. it's gonna gone forever. As for me, I will be counting down in Kuching my 2nd home and most probably with bunch of friends having steamboat or what so ever as long as we are together welcoming a new year for a new start.

Well~ I'm not the type love joining the huge crowd for the count down. Thus a simple one with my loved ones will do.

So before the year 2011 ends, there are few events in my life that are worth mentioning either as encouragements or lessons to be learn for my own goods.

# 1 Registered myself in postgraduate study by research after having such a tough warfare with myself. Have always been hoping to go abroad to further my study. It is a way to broaden my view and knowledge in the field that I explored. On the other hand, I could travel around to see and experience the marvellous creations of God. This will definitely broaden my heart not to see myself as the center and be more independent. However, man proposed God disposed.. for some purposes I ought to stay back at my current location to reconnoiter my study and I'm glad that I remained.
GAMBATAE~~

I need to redeem my time, for the days are evil.
A few verses flashed through my mind this few days regarding my studies and I would like to share the verses with all my readers.

Matt 22:37 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Philippians 3:12-13 Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected, but I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I do not account of myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do: Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,

Ephesians 4:25 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

# 2 Attended the International Night in Punjabi costume.

Showing off the Punjabi costume.

Tada~ My friends dropped their specs as I showed up in wonderful Punjabi costume. *P.S. The costume was borrowed from Uma, my lovely housemate. Thanks Uma if you happen to read this. :)
In this event, the international students from different countries performed in their national costumes some are from China, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, France, Syria and so on so forth. This really opened my eyes..

#3 Joining the 5th National Summit 2011

This year the Sarawak Branch hosted the national summit and I'm glad that I'd got the chance to handle part of the activities. This is my first time handling publicity for an event. In this national summit I got the chance to meet with engineers all around Malaysia and of course site visits that gave me the idea of the current developments in Sarawak. It is indeed a good platform for all the young engineers gather together sharing their experiences.

#4 Joining the AAEC Conference organized by the Swinburne University as a volunteer.

Though it was a tiring section, I enjoyed it very much. Special thank goes to Dr Ling for giving me a chance to learn photography for an event. I have to admit that I'd not done a good job with the limited equipment that I had. Much more studies and learning and also investment in some equipments are needed for improvement. That will be my goal for next year, 2012.

#5 Conquering Mt Singai

Well, I'd make it to the top. Bravo~ ^.^;

#6 Family Trip to JB and Melacca for my younger sister's convocation.
Congratulations dear sis~ You've make it. Good job. May God guided your path ahead and bless you with Himself more each day.

#7 Short trip to Putrajaya and Cameron Highland
Starting another chapter of my life.
Though there are lots of uncertainties together we can and gonna make it.

#8 Getting myself a new lappy ASUS N55S for the purpose of my studies. Let's make it happen in another 2 years time. May God preserve.

#9 Of course all the FOODS that I've enjoyed together with my friends and of course my loved housemates which leave me an extra inches on my waist??? I hope no... haha..

Flip Flops Festival in Damai Puri

Had a nice outing with my housemates back in July.

Ehem~ definitely Yun put on her sexy shorts, T-shirt and her lovely white pair of flip flops.. to enjoy the touch of sand and the breeze of beach..

Well~ though the theme for the outing is Flip Flop.. my 'kaki' went there just for the hot air balloon~ Cool isn't it.. LOL..

Walking and snapping around Damai Puri.. on the way to the rainforest restaurant.

Here we go~~ EXCITED!!! First time in our life boarding the hot air balloon.

They are filling up the balloon...

In the process..

Tada~~

Captured before boarding..

Here they go~~ Up to the sky.. Well~ Yun din join.. hmm~ personally Yun think it's not tat fun after all spending RM 35 just to board a hot air balloon with strings attached to the ground..

Yun love freedom and excitement.. If they flew us one or half round around the beach.. Yun will definitely pay for it. *giggle*

Eventually capture a photo as souvenir prior to our departure. ^^

Conquering Mt Singai

All works and no play makes Jack a dull boy~

The same apply here, all works + study and no play makes Yun a dull dull emo gal ~

Yun remembered that prior to the trip Yun was actually preparing for a paper.. digging hard, learning hard, squeezing hard, forcing myself hard enough to get the little creatures running.. yet in the end.. Yun still fail to catch up with the dead line.. *sad case*

Frust to the uttermost~

anyway~ all blames to herself for poor time management..

Here we go, for a day trip to Mt. Singai on the 1st Sept.. as it was holidays for Hari Raya Celebration.

So we plan it to suit all busy young working dudes' schedule. Hmm~ this year Yun escape all the celebrations~ back to the nature to nurture her soul a bit before she 'ki xiao'.. from the overbearing pressure..

There were all together 8 of us joining the hiking trip..

After all the ding ding dong dong... we arrived at Mt Singai around 8.30am.. so we started to hike at 8:45am after warming up ourselves. hmm~ kinda late.. coz it's a sunny day~~ *HOT!!!*

On the way to the Catholic church we passed through all these interesting cross.. well, some said, we ought to stop and pray before we proceeded to the next cross.. but Yun didn't~ Just continue on taking all the steep stairs tat really cause me to be out of breath! fuh~~

Upon reaching the Catholic church, there is a small 'canteen'?? Well, Yun not sure what it is called.. and it is the place where all the saints gather together to have their meals before continuing their worshipping activities.

On the way up to Mt Singai~ There are lots of interesting scenes.. one of them is this bamboo made resting place??? People may take a rest here.. well, some said they would wait for the durian to fall from the tree here..
