after some time.......

It’s really has been a while…


Several things have taken place during this recent time…


Back from traveling to Europe early of this month… It was a wonderful journey and I saw, did and experienced a lot of great things throughout the journey… I will try to do some more complete posts about the journey later as a record of memory…


New semester has commenced since 2nd week of February…and over these weeks I am still finding the momentum back to all these academic matters…This sem schedule and subjects’ heaviness are nothing less than previous sem, but need to travel more frequent in daily classes…


Then we just had our Malaysian CNY open house celebration on last Sunday, 22nd Feb though it was like already 1 month passed CNY… It is all due to we had no better and more suitable date to do it earlier this time… So, we all Chinese need to do all the preparation including food and this year I was assigned to the group to bake cookies with mostly are guys in the group :) and there is another of group of girls who need to do the packing of cookies so they could be presentable… and overall we need to do about 2500 pieces of cookies which took us 2 overnights of hard work… It was a good experience indeed… though I doubt myself can still remember the quantities of all required ingredients :D


Some pics during the work:

The end product!

CNY open house day was good too… Both food and performances… and this year highlight was the lion dance performance…It was great and I don’t know where the hell those seniors managed to get that big lion to here… Anyway, I don’t get those CNY celebration pics yet, so might post them later…


Erm… about weather…February should be the last month of winter here…and the weather are getting unpredictable nowadays… and one special thing I had noticed is that it has been continuously 3 weeks that it snows heavily on every Thursday then the other days the snow would start melting... and when they are disappearing, it’s Thursday again and all the snow returns…


Grabbed some nice pictures on this year winter from friend so going to post few here:
