Wake up

Edited by Sabby~ XP

For you, it might be happy-go-lucky. But for me, it’s lackadaisical. Just because it doesn’t belong to you, doesn’t mean you are responsible-free. No, YOU are NOT.

I have been wondering for a long time, when will you get it? That life is not just a game. There’s no such place where you can be so carefree and do whatever you want without expecting any consequences. Provided you are very rich like Bill Gate. The only way you can enjoy this ‘privilege’ is when you are playing a real game. If that’s the case, I won’t even give a damn if you made a huge mistake with that carefree attitude of yours because you can always restart.

I’m not asking you to see the light but it’s time to wake up. Responsibility is not just about money and your own belongings, you are responsible for everything that is in your possession, whether it belongs to you or not. Just because you are in the mood for jokes, it doesn’t mean anyone else is. So, wake up! Start being a responsible person. I’m being extra kind to give you a wakeup call. It’s up to you to take it or leave it.

Final thoughts

Finally, after hours of staring and staring...

I'd decided.

For leading line... paper plane or by KY is advertisement for insurance XD

Another leading line to the house with shadow... but I still felt the lighting from the sky is too bright... T^T tried to edit but dunno how to reduce it...

Shadow~ It gave me the lonely feeling, maybe because of the colours and according to KY, this is emo~ XD

Last but not least, my favourite... I guess taking photo involve luck as well... For a beginner like me, I will said this is a lucky snap shot. Reflection and shadow, plus the harmonic colour... and yes, there is a reflection on the water surface, it looks like part of the grass from the soil but its not.. XD

That's all! Ja, mata ne~ ^.^

Torn between two...

Left or right? Up or down? Oh god, I’m torn between two of them. I’d tried to be neutral but still, this is so hard to choose!

There are more than hundreds of them in the same place! Even after several time processing and throw in and add in, I still can’t make the right decision! Can someone help me?! When I’d finally choose one out of two, the third one pop in and that’s it, now I’m torn between the chosen one and the third one.

So, is it that hard to pick the right one? Yes, IT IS! It might be easy for others to say this,” just pick the one you feel the best and the one you like.” Still, it is not easy! I like all of it, and that is around ten in total but I only get to pick four.

So, which should I pick? I had no idea. If only this is like choosing a boy friend, it will be easier. Or at least in this case it’s easier because all I need is one, and I seriously like that ONE I choose. This is like choosing 4 boyfriends instead of 1! ARGH!

In the end, I manage to narrow from ten to five. FIVE! I guess I will need to eliminate another innocent one by the end of tonight again. T__T

Trip

Another day start with Blackie being late again due to some acceptable reason but Blackie, I forgive you, cause I should tell you to meet up one hour earlier XD next time I'm gonna give you a birthday present, alarm clock but its pantang for Chinese people so, maybe another reminder, I'll think about the message to put inside later. XDD

Dim Sum and yam cha was fun, talked a lot with old school mates and this are those I called as non-IT. It was an awesome time to chit chat and keep up with each other's recent life-style and what's going on news. Planned another street-walk with one of them again this weekend. ^^

Next thing, WAR MUSEUM!!! Okay, you might think there's nothing to take in War Museum but there is, a lot! Later I'll post up some snap shot I got from there. According to Blackie, some of the building is haunted, like the (Intelligence officer), British Other Rank 1(BOR1), there is even a few Indian Other Rank building, labelled IOR1 and 2. Then there is this bucket toilet XD. And a sign showing Beware of Wild Animal = Snakes. There is this tunnel for escape that leads to another end and the tomb of a Sergeant John Wolf. We didn't get into the tunnel cause it's totally dark and WE DIDN'T BRING TORCHLIGHT!!! >.<

A reminder to those who want to visit War Museum, bring your own torchlight, cause if you don't, they will rent you with RM2 for one torchlight, its not included with your entrance fees, you'll have to pay RM15 and extra RM2 for that torchlight. Oh, and bring mosquito repellent to avoid mosquito attack.

Next spot, Simpang Ampat I think, or somewhere in the island. And there is another road name with the same name as Sungai Pinang road, Jalan sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau!!!! I know, I know... I sound like a Sua Pa Kao but I rarely go to that area. So forgive me if I'm too excited.

We went to a lake at Teluk Kumbar, there was a mountain bike competition but we manage to get a few nice shot from the lake. According to Blackie again, that lake had a legend. It is told that one must not swim in that lake or their house will burn and she said it's true. I think because of this, the lake is very clean and well preserved, manage to snap a photo of shadow mixed with reflection at there. Shall use it for my photo assignment.

After this, we went to padi field near Lorong Paya, too bad it wasn't the right season. So after this is lunch, I ate ABC! Air Batu Campur!!! nice~ and the mee goreng, cook by an Indian guy wearing formal wear! and it's spicy! Finally, a spicy mee goreng that is finally spicy for me. XD

Finally, lao hao juice from Blackie's grandma, nice~ and kimchi!!! Isn't this the best day? YESH!!! Learnt a lot and so many nice snap-shot!

Blackie, we should had another trip again when you come back. That time we will invite Ginger Cat and Ah Boey to join us~

Okay, photos time~

Entrance

That would be Blackie.

Blackie again~

Me~ and yes, we hate war! ^^

The tomb of Sergeant John Wolf.

The Intelligence Officer building. I.O

A description for I.O.

I guess this is Guinness as in the beer?

The bucket for the toilet.

Anti-air machine gun!

Snake!!!!

The port at Batu Maung I think...

ABC~ Air Batu Campur~ Ais Kacang~ It's nice, the best ais kacang I had for er, this year I think?

The stall, we thought the ABC got Pedas flavour... XD

The cat who slept under the table we sat and I almost step on it!!! She gave me a stare now... see, must be a good mother. She's pregnant.

The teluk at Teluk Kumbar~ Got a nicer photo but that's for assignment purpose XD after that only I will post. That is, if I remembered. XD

That's all. Mou tsukareta... Oyasuminasai!!!

Something new

“For artists like me, Penang is like a paradise. There are lots of heritage buildings, reflecting different styles and periods,” quoted from Chin Kon Yit.

Check out his art work at here... http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/4/16/north/6003352&sec=North

After today's street-walking, I had to really agree and support with what he said. Ignore the artists part in the quote. I'm not an artist but just a tiny little people who live in Penang for 21 years. I'd heard from a lot people telling me that Penang is bored and there's no nice sight seeing in Penang that is worth watching and take pictures or what-so-ever.

There was a period of time where I agreed with them that Penang is too bored and there's nothing much to see but the truth is, THERE IS. If only you believe that there is and pay attention to it. It might be small and just normal but if you look closer, it is there. Always.

Today's street walk changed my point of view towards my own island and I hope you guys will see it too. Here are some pictures I snapped from today's street walk.

Chew's Jetty. Translation of the writing in the wall is 'Do you throw rubbish?' and LOVE THE SEA! YAH! I LOVE THE SEA~~~

One of the Jetty, should be Lim's Jetty. Quite nice, but I still prefer the Tan's Jetty. After all, it's my jetty XD Didn't go to the Mix's Jetty. Forgot about it!!! Must go next time.

One of the houses in Chew's Jetty.

Another picture from Chew's Jetty~ ^^

“Deceptionist”

I don’t really care what you think about me or who I am, because you don’t really know me. And I’m not as naïve as you think I am. I might be blur and not street smart but I’m still capable of defending myself when time comes. Even if you are IT, I’ll still move on. Yah, you’re right, it’s none of your business, and it’s none of my business as well. So I guess we will just mind our own business and save myself first.

IT happened to me N years ago, but I manage to get away from this situation; the feeling of used and tossed package, the IT. But since then, I realized it will never leave me. No matter where I am. It will always be there. I guess this is what REALITY is. Yah, I’ll just have to bear with it and accept the fact that it happens to me again and grow up from here.

A friend of me actually told me that it happens to me when I’m in high school and from that time onwards, I’m aware of its existence. It is true, and I’m very thankful to the friend who told me about it. And thank to her, I’m more aware of IT these days and able to twist it a bit. Yup, it’s a bit. For now, a bit is enough for me. It might seem to be a bit for you but for a girl who is a noob at this, it is a big step up, and it’s a lot to me.

So, once again, it is back. But I’m going to stay strong and just bear with it. It’s going to end soon and soon it is. I hope. Even if it doesn’t, who cares? It’s their problem, not mine. I’m happy with my life even though this bothers me sometimes but I’m glad I had the friends who told me about it. As long as I move on, there is nothing to worry about. Yah, I’m going to move on. From here, I’ll move on, and found who are the one who will tell me and the one who are IT.

The more I care, the more I worry about you guys, the more IT happens. The more I try to fit in with you guys, the more the burden it is, the more IT happens. I still prefer being myself and just try my very best to be myself and work hard on my own. Even if it’s going to be alone, I know I’m not. I’ll always have those who will told me about IT and those who sincerely cares about me and I’m happy to just have them, even if it’s just less than ten.

For those who face the same thing, take this advice. Learn to say ‘NO’, be mean sometimes, don’t care too much about what the others think, just be yourself and one day, we will meet, be friend, together and laugh at those ITS.

MH DONE~ (late post) XP
