Radomly Rondom

Woke up in the morning, I have this random passion for photography. Seriously, it is weird because normally, I will just wake up, brush my teeth, take bath, have breakfast and off to classes. There is no room for photography or what so ever related to it.

 

So, I call this my random post with random photos. You will be exposed with my daily routine photos – the things which I normally see, the place which I normally go and the people who I always come across with (in these few weeks)… =)

 

Random #1

 

 

The tree which grows near my house. I can see it from my window. This is one of the oxygen supply that I receive everyday. Now, is that rain water or mist? I hope it is mist.

 

#2

 

The cute little 5 year old niece who sleeps beside me in these 2 weeks. She will leave by tomorrow with her grandma and grandpa (my uncle and aunt). I am sure I will miss her a lot ;(

 

Anyway, isn’t she cute? I like her Hello Kitty pink blanket. Can I have it?

 

#3

 

This is where my green baby sleeps – the car park. Can you see the rain water? There must be heavy rain yesterday midnight while I was sleeping soundly..  zzZZ

 

#4

 

By the way, I love the reflection shows on the water. Isn’t it beautiful? The morning sky with morning breeze… Love them. I feel energetic!  <3

 

The real image. The real sky with new-born son. Do we call this, sun rise phenomena? lol..

 

#5 My lovely shoes.

 

I am trying to step on the sky, like I am in heaven. Believe me? haha…. Better don’t because it is April Fool day… =D

 

#6

Hectic morning jam like usual. KL.. puff…

 

#7

 

The view of a driver on her green baby. Low fuel.

 

# 8

Reached my destination. Playing with the camera before leaving this place. Seriously, I love mirror so much. I wonder why?

 

#9

 

My current obsession – Pyramid Bloxx games. I received this games from Ammar. Kinda cool for me because it is simple but challenging. By the way, I was not playing this while driving k? I am a responsible driver. Lol..

 

#10

 

I just admire tree. I love tree including the brunches and leaves. It is so artistic, don’t you think so?

 

#11

 

The cloudy sky. Blue. White. Wait! And again, the trees =D

 

#12

Who else but ME?

CurryEgg!!! A random photo of a random lady with my random rotation of this picture. Lol… what am I talking about? It is soooooooooooooo random.. =P

You’re Brave, My Dear Niece

My cousin-in-law has just passed away 2 days ago. Still remember my ‘cancer’ post which I have blogged like 3 weeks ago? Well, yes.. she is the one.

 

I had attended her funeral yesterday morning with my family. It was a sorrow moment (of course it is a sorrow moment. what am I writing here? knock my head) of everyone in the family as well as her friends who attended.

 

The feeling of lost is slightly different comparing to my grandmother. It is more heart-breaking. I guess, it is due to the age as well as the people who she leaves behind?

 

She dies at young age because of lung cancer. She leaves her 5 year old daughter, alone with the husband. I know she has tried her best fighting with the cancerous cells from the first day she discovered about the disease until the end of her last breath. Never had she given up any second, wasting time to end her life earlier although she suffered throughout the cancer-fighting-journey. I believe she is doing this for her husband, her daughter, her family and herself.

 

 

She is courageous, determined, loving and strong. These are the values which I want to learn from her – never give up until your very last breath. Thank you my dear cousin-in-law for the valuable lesson you have left me.

 

Being an aunt for a 5 year old niece, I feel very much for her. I can’t imagine if I am in her shoes. I seriously can’t imagine if I loss either one of my parents at her age. She might not understand the loss right now, but for long term while she is growing up, I guess she will feel the ‘loss’ more. Well, I hope she will be strong throughout the growing up journey. Hugs…

 

 

Before I end this post, I would like to thank some of you for being caring with my cousin-in-law, my niece and even myself in Facebook, Twitter as well as this blog. It is touching to read about your concern, prayer and blessing. Thank you.

 

May you have a happy life which filled love, wealth and success.

A piece of pink paper

This piece of pink paper is not just a pink paper.

It might look like a piece of paper to you but it is actually not just a piece of paper.

Ok. what the egg am I talking here? o_O

 

 

If you realize that I am not updating my blog as often as before, I think there is something you need to know about me (emm… no more cancer topic k? I know some of you are complaining about how I shocked you to death. If I did, forgive me. Lol..).

 

 

 

Last February, I went to the Dong Zhen Temple in Jenjarom with my coursemate, Aileen. Like always, it is a breath-taking experience whenever I stepped into this wonderful place – from the way they design the landscape, some interesting Chinese and Chinese-translated proverbs and quotation, the atmosphere, Buddha teaching and etc.

 

The best thing about this trip is… I gain new insights.

 

 

 

One of the insights I received is from this piece of ‘pink paper’. This is what they call, ‘prediction’ in which you pray and voice out your question, hopes or wishes in your heart. Then, you just have to pick a provided scroll from the box.

 

 

Well, this is what I call the modern way of getting prediction. Unlike in the olden day, or in fact in most of the Chinese temple, you will have to use some kind of ‘complicated’ objects (which I don’t know the name. sorry) to get your prediction.

 

 

I believe, you might be curious with… what’s so special with this pink scroll? Or some of you might be started asking, what does it tell Ms. CurryEgg?

 

Well, all I can tell you is.. it is an important wake-up call for me. A serious message which I should keep in mind throughout the whole semester, year and in fact.. my whole life.

 

Wanna know what does it tell me?

 

Ok. No more guessing games. I know you are starting to get frustration. Lol.. bad me.

 

“It is asking me to put plan into action. No more daydreaming nor silence planning because I will most probably end up not doing anything. What else? Well.. the rest will be my secret.. shhh… sorry guys..” =P

 

1 piece of paper, with 20 Chinese characters answer almost everything I wanna know. Don’t you think Chinese is amazing? Now I regret for not studying Chinese during in my primary school. Thank to my papa~

 

So, what is the end product?

 

Ms.CurryEgg is focusing in her studies ever since then. She pays serious attention into her assignment, test and homework (not yet for revision. Gosh!). At the same time, she is working on her ‘dream’ which can’t be revealed yet, not until the time is right… =))

 

Fun time! I miss fun time!

 

 

Sorry guys. Studies is still the main priority in my life – for now. Because I want to be a professional counselor.

 

*wink happily*

 

P/s: If you can’t get rid of your curryegg.blogspot.com egg-diction, you can always send me ‘hate mail’ in my gmail. I ensure you, I will get back to you asap XD

Friends & Penang Island

First of all, thank you again for all the sincere wishes which you have showered me when I was still enjoying the first time ever ‘1 minute fame’ in my life! It is great to received such a long list of comments from you guys (emmm.. also a hint encouraging you to leave more comments for me in future post including this. lolx).

Well,  it is time to get back into the reality world in which this Curryegg or Kelly Tan still remain the same. Nothing has changed in this person nor her blog. Thus, you can enjoy the original taste of this 'curyegg dish’. Haha… sounds so much like a joke.

 

So, here is my latest post: Friends & Penang Island

 

Frankly, I have attempted to blog about this for twice but obviously, the last 2 attempts was a failure. Still remember in my last few posts, in which I screamed, shouted and complained in the middle of the time for losing all my post, unsaved? (it is written here: Eeeerrgggghhh GONE!)

 

It wasn’t a good experience honestly, especially when you have thrown so much feeling and emotions into a single post, described by thousands of words. Even till now, I am still worried that I might loss this post in split seconds although I am protected with ‘high security’! The trauma… wwhooooo…. scary.

 

I should call this ‘blogauma’ (blog+trauma) :

 

Blogauma (Blo.gau.ma)

 

Definition: An abnormal situation/behavior in which a blogger is consistently afraid of losing all her/his data while he is blogging.

 

Anyway, I am sure that this time, this post is going to be published no matter how. I have high confidence over my ‘strategy’. Or else…. I will not blog about this anymore… *serious tone*

 

Weeks ago, while everyone was still excited welcoming the first 15 days of the Tiger year, my friends, cousins and I had been to a ‘Spend-time-together-CNY-walk’ at Penang Island. There were about 10 of us.

 

Including the one who was the loyal photographer (lol).

 

It was a wonderful trip, thus a beautiful memory for me. I had never been to this place although I have stayed Penang for yearssssss… (Wei… I stay in the mainland k, not in the island..). Sorry to tell you that I don’t even know what is the name of this place. All I know is, this place is near Komtar and Perangin Mall. And, I don’t bother to google it because I am lazy. Oopss..

 

While I first stepped into this place, I was amazed. This place was seriously beautiful which initially thought I was in China, celebrating Chinese New year. There were Chinese decoration almost everyway. I spotted people wearing traditional Chinese customs (not just cheong sam and cheong fu) walking around the streets.

 

   

Magnet decoration items. They are cute, aren’t they? Ahhww.. They are made by clay. So cute!!!

    

 

Spotted my secondary school music and english teacher in his orange and brown, flora motif shirt. I wish I have the chance to say, “Good afternoon sir! How are you sir?”. Well, no chance as he was too busy with his work.

 

  Everyone loves group photo!

 

I KNOW THIS PLACE!!!  It is called: Khoo Kongsi.

 

    Alice with her natural smile. =D

Remember this photo? It was taken here, at Khoo Kongsi. Cool isn’t it? =D

The lovely couple <3

Spotted tourists with their DSLRs. I guess they must be tired too.

 

I just simple love this place especially this template. What an elegant, ancient Chinese temple. Magnifying view.

 

The cousins group =D

 

The very first question popped up in my mind while I saw these people in traditional custom passed by us was, “Not hot meh? So many layer of long kain”.

 

 

Well, I totally felt the heat which is as a result of the big amount of carbon dioxide produced by the crowds as well as the hot weather in Penang Island. I had been sweating all the way for hours and hours before I managed to get back into Mac’s car. Terrible! Luckily I just put a mild make-up or else, everything will melt and ruin my face!

 

Lesson: Put less or no make-up while going to such place.

 

 

I love these pictures. It might not be as good as a real DSLR or semi-pro camera, I am still satisfy with my so called ‘skill’. Now, I don’t need a DSLR to make a DSLR effect. Right? *trying to convenience myself*

   

 

Back to my story. The reasons why I insisted to write this blog post, is because of I want to capture whatever memory I can retrieved from the journey into this single post, attaching with photos which I took (and from Mac’s camera too). I really have a great time with all them time, including my seniors, juniors, new friends and cousins as it is hard for us to gather as a group when everyone is busy with their studies/work. Plus, they are awesome people whom I love to spend my time with.

 

 

We don’t gossip much, which is seriously an important criteria I am looking for. Because, in my opinion, gossiping too much can lead to accusation which is unhealthy and not fair to the ‘victim’. If you can feel your tongue is burning right now, as a result of my words, I am sorry. But then, think of this question and ask yourself: “How much do I know about him/her?”.

 

Honestly, I find gossiping is a waste of time because I can’t learn from it. In addition, it affects my first impression over a person before I manage to give myself a chance to understand him/her better. It is unfair for me and that person, don’t you think so? Rather than spending time on pin-pointing other’s weaknesses, why spend your time in doing something beneficial for yourself? Like drawing, hiking, public speaking, eating, sleeping or etc?

 

P/s: Caring and gossiping are two different situations. Caring is a way where you ask about other’s progress with sincerity to know how others are doing whereas gossiping is a behaviour of where you dig, add, filter and alter other’s story to make it interesting.

 

Besides, they are out-going, friendly, warm, adventurous and most importantly… they love cam-horing as much as I DO! Well, who don’t? Lol…

 

 

    

 

Imagine lah, if I am the only one who love cam-whoring while others leave me or give me disbelief look all along the journey, where is the fun? And if they don’t like it, there wouldn’t be much group photos in this post. Yes?

 

Haha..

 

Gosh.. now I miss them. I miss my old buddies. I miss my secondary school friends. I miss my National service friends. I miss my tuition friends. I miss my junior. I miss my senior. I miss my coursemates. I miss my blogger friends. I miss Eric’s friends (just had dinner with them awhile ago) and I miss everyone whom I have come across with.

 

 

Well, I don’t know why I have created such a sentimental ending of this post. I guess, my heart has been filled with too much love, warmth and sincerity from people around me in all this while. Thank you for being my friends and providing me with your care, love and support all this while. I appreciate to have you guys in my life. Friends matter… I love you all!!! =D

 

*hugs*

 

 

Hey!

I need to end this post quickly or I will drag things and ended up writing 10 posts in a single post. Lol… Bye~
