Back Into The Ancient Time

Last week, Shu Huan, Bei Shan and I were happily walking to the library to get ourselves something to read. We were joking, laughing and chatting all along the way before we spotted something shimmering in the middle of the road. Bei Shan thought that it might be a good idea to go nearer and have a look on it.

It was small, round and made by metallic.

"It is the ancient metallic pocket watch!", Shu Huan shouted excitedly.

"What? Ancient metallic pocket watch? Let me see, let me see!", I was surprised and immediately drawn nearer to Bei Shan to have a clearer view.




I guess I was too clumsy. The watch fell from my hand before I managed to examine it. A bright light came from the watch once it landed on the ground and the next thing we found out we were in a dark room. No. It was not a dark room.. Instead, it was a dark, cold building.

"Where are we?", Bei shan finally broke the silence. None of us manage to utter a single word when we found out we were in a strange place.

"Hey girls! Look at these!", Shu Huan whispered in a strange tone when she spotted something. I guess it must be something freaky.

"Oh my... where are we? And who are they?", I gasped when I managed to peep all these people in strange costumes over a tiny hole on the rough-old-wall. Wait a minute. I think I saw this costumes before. Somewhere in the TV about the ancient time. Gosh! We are back to the ancient time? Impossible!

My heartbeat skipped a few seconds.

Three of us were too afraid to walk nor speak. Tears started to burst out unconsciously and the next thing we did is hugging each other so tightly, in a corner behind the big wall.

"I wanna go back", Shu Huan sobbed.

I want to go back too, but how? I don't event know what is happening to 3 of us. I guess the metallic pocket watch took us here. Wait a minute. We should get back the watch and find way back to home.

Brilliant!

Now. Where is the watch?

"Girls, let search for the watch. I think someone must have put a spell on the watch", I suggested to my friends. Thinking of it gives me goose bumps.. eeiih....

Quietly, the three of us searching for the item, in the hope to go back soon. None of us wanted to be trapped in this stone age. Noooooooooooo! PLEASE.
Someone please slap my face and wake me up. I must be dreaming!

We had spent nearly an hour looking for the watch. Unfortunately, the pocket watch still lost in sight. *sigh*

As we were about to give up hope in looking for the watch, unexpectedly Shu Huan spotted the watch. It was hidden between the rocks. Oh my GOD!

"We can go back now!!!!!!!", I jumped and shouted loudly.

As I was so excited holding the watch on my hand, suddenly, I felt something strange. Ouch! Someone poked my face.. Ouch!

"Hey!", I screamed as I woke up from the table. I could feel my saliva wetting my cheeks. I was day dreaming again? Wait a minute. Where am I?


"Kelly. Eehwww... your saliva.. You fall asleep just now?", Shu Huan was the one who poked my face.

"Yeah. I guess I am too tired", I answered nonchalantly.

"So are you going to join us? We are going to visit the PTUM Expose. Bei Shan is waiting out there", Shu Huan added.

"Of course! I miss my chocolate+peanut waffle!!! Let's go and get more!!!", immediately I kept all my books and dashed down to ground floor of the library with her.


**********************************************************************

Now I remember. The dream I had while in the library was regarding to the PTUM Expose (PTUM- Pesta TangLung University Malaya) in my varsity. I must have watched too much of Harry Potter. Lolx....

*smack*
*smack*

So, here is the reality with no metallic pocket watch...
Lolx....

Welcome to the University of Malaya in Qin Dynasty (I should find out about the dynasty again. Might be wrong..). Yes.. Qin Dynasty in which you can see Shi Huang Di walking around.. Hahah... We were back to 221BC-206BC. That's long long ago... :P



And we saw a gigantic mooncake!
Wow!

Where should we start eating this?
>_<

So far, I love this expose. I heart for their decoration and stalls especially the waffle stall! Lolx... They made a good waffle and I bought it twice! Sad to say that the expose just last for 3 days.. Sigh... no more waffle.. sob.. :(

It's OK.
I can get it somewhere else. No worries.

Come, lets join me into the world of Qin Dynasty... XD
The PTUM exhibition..



I love this background. If only if I can spend more time snapping photos in this reddish ancient background, that will be great! Hahaha...


Overall, the exhibition look like this.
All were done by the students. Isn't that fantastic? They used only papers, boxes and other recycle items. Wow... And did you see the horse on the floor? It was made by newspaper.. Lolx... Creative and innovative!


Nah!
This time I really see people wearing ancient costumes. No lie! This is the proof! Am I dreaming again? Slap me!

:P


Well, the three of us were having super fun time in the hall. Oh my.. I can't forget this moment when we were so crazy... hahaha...

Shu Huan and me...

Before we left the hall for class, Bei Shan spotted this sit... a sit for the KING! Wow! King!
I want to sit to! Lolx...

Again, the three of us we excited snapping photos. All of us pretended to be the KING! Well except me. I want be the QUEEN!
Haha...

Bei Shan- The King who can't effort a pair of shoes.. Lolx...

And I am the slave...
"Your highness...." :P

Shu Huan- The King who can effort a pair of shoes.
Lolx... I can't imagine if Bei Shan and Shu Huan read this... :P

And me, as The Egg Queen... aiyo... I should name myself as The Curry Queen la.. Sound so strange when I read this right now. Ahhww.... whatever..

Now, call me as The Egg Queen.
Muahahaha....

Serve me like this....





Lolx....
The end for my "Back Into The Ancient Time" story...
XD


P/s: I must have day dreaming a lot... :P

Another 2 Days To Go

At last, I've reached my hometown safe and sound. Well, it was a long journey and I could only reached granny's house at around 1am. Tired....

Right now, I'm enjoying every bit of my curry pau. I miss Penang Curry Pau! Haha... Sitting in front of this computer has reminded me about my previous years in Penang. I was exactly sitting at the same corner, studying and doing my revision on this table. I remembered how stress I was when I had to burn the midnight oil for tests and examinations. Whenever I was late to bed, granny will nag me to sleep... :P

I can't imagine I am soon-to-be 21 years old... in another.... 2 days? Oh my.. Honestly, I'm excited and I am hoping for a new, interesting life as soon as I get the 'KEY'! Hehehe....

*Update*

Another Few Hours To Go

I'm still sitting in a cornet, thinking of what will happen tomorrow?
It will be my 21st birthday! I should be happy, but I kinda worry I might be trapped in the massive traffic jam tomorrow. As you know, Malaysia holiday season will be the most suffering moment when it comes to traffic jam on the road. How good if my blog will gain traffic like that Malaysia road traffic jam! Eeeerrrrrrrrrrrr... why?

Ever since last week, I am really worried I might end up celebrating my birthday in the car for the whole day. I had been in that situation before and I know very well about the traffic very well. Emmm..........

I guess I should prepare a cake and blow my candle in the car with my parents? Lolx... that will be a great idea! Haha... Well, let us put tomorrow as a jigsaw.. Whoa!

I'm excited to venture my day!!!!!!

1 SEPTEMBER, here I come!

My Most Embarrass Moment

We were told to write a story about the most embarrass moment we have ever had during in my counseling class. I was like... "Uhhh? My most embarrass moment?". I tried to say no to my lecturer actually since I hardly remember any of my history. Guess what did he say?

"Setiap orang pasti ada ceritanya dan cuba ingat kembali. Mungkin kamu tidak ingat kerana sejarah kamu terletak pada tahap Superego or Id berdasarkan teori Sigmund Freud". (Malay version)

"Everyone of us here will have at least a story to be shared and try to recall them. Maybe you'll hardly remember anything right now because most of them are in your Superego or Id level according to Sigmund Freud's theory" (English version)

Sigmund Freud's theory is about conscious (ego) and unconscious (id) mind and I'm about to dig them all out. Em... maybe some of it? :)

Well, I managed to write an essay last night for my lecturer and decided to pass up my homework to him this morning. Sadly, he asked us to keep it. Sob... In order to not wasting my work, I decided to blog it here. Shall we?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is how it sounds like:



At first, I thought I didn't own any story of my embarrass moment. After spending a night thinking and recalling my history, I realized that I do have a few. I guess I've successfully transformed my superego into ego level?

As far as I can remember, my most embarrass moment took place when I was in form 1 (secondary school). It was during my Kemahiran Hidup class in which we were allow to choose either KMT or ERT for this subject. I took ERT and never know that disaster might happen after that.

The teacher in ERT was strict and fierce and none of my friends like her. All of us were so afraid to even look at her. My dark history take place when one day, Mrs Tan, the ERT teacher had given us some homework and needed to be passed up on the next following week. The day had arrived and she checked all of her students homework including mine. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten about my homework and ended up being caught and punished. Poor me. I'd to stand in front of the class, facing all my friends till the class ended.

Of course, her punishment didn't end there. A few of us were ordered to clean the room including the windows and toilets. I could see some giggles from my friends when I was moping the floor with my untidy hair. Sigh...

Ever since the incident, I started to hate the class and. The punishment did leave a great impact on my emotion. I felt totally embarrass and left out.

Soon, I changed my class from ERT to KMT where majority of the KMT students are males. I didn't care how weird I might look like as far as I could escape from Mrs Tan. Yeah. My new mission. At the end, I did change.

Maybe changing the class was a big mistake I had ever done in my life. I didn't know exactly the rules and customs for a student to change a class since I was still a freshie at that moment. So, one morning when I as happily entering my KMT class, a friend of mind suddenly appeared and informed me that Mrs Tan were looking for me. So, I joined her and met Mrs Tan. Before stepping into her class, my body had started to shiver. I could sense that sometime worse was going to happen.

I was right. It was something worse. Sigh.. I was once again being asked to stand in front of the class, facing about 45 girls who were mostly my friends. There was a long silence while I was standing at a spot. I felt how small and weak I was. The atmosphere made me felt like I was a murderer or rapist who was going to be sentenced to death. She left me aside and continued her teaching before bombarded me with her sarcastic questions, 15 minutes after that.

My body was shaking as I tried to defend myself in front of my friends. I could hear some whispers from the crowd and I knew, they were all about me. I wished I could run away from the class immediately but then, I know I've to face the music, just sooner or later. After the 20 minutes lecture from Mrs Tan, I was allowed to leave the class and joined my KMT class.

I know I'm wrong and I should learn from my mistake. So, ever since the incident happened, I try to improve myself by being more responsible to myself and my work. I will not going to spoil my reputation any longer.

Do I still hate the teacher? Nahh... I don't hate her any longer as she's a good teacher. She did teach me something important and I will always remember that - Ok, not the being humiliated part of course!
Lolx....


The End

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been wondering, why we were asked to write our embarrass story to him? Anything to do with Sigmund Freud's theory? Or any counseling theory? Ahh... I don't care. I wanna sleep now. Lately, I'm so exhausted. I guess, I need more rest and sleep. Good night my friends. See you tomorrow.. Have a nice day!
;D

What's The Meaning Of True Friend?

A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy and grace.
And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.
*unknown*

Everyone needs friends in their lives and so do I. A very famous idiom we've heard all the time: "No man live in an island". True. I shall say, I will never have such a happy life as today if I don't have any friend. Maybe you may think that the more friends you've, the better your life will be.

As for me, I prefer to have few true friends than having a bunch of 'fake' friends. What's 'fake' friends mean? Fake friend is someone who will be with you during shine and leave you during rainy day. I believe you've met some of them, don't you? Or else your life are so beautiful with all true friends around... (which I've always wanted to)


True good Friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to Forget!

*G. Randoff*

True.
True friends are extremely hard to find and I'm grateful to have few of them. I should say... I'm lucky! ;)

Talking about true friend, it reminds me about my sweet moment with my best-true-happy-going-lucky-sweet friend, May (a.k.a Mug Mug). How could I forget the days we'd spent together at my house?

Her pinky and my huggie pup
(which she bought for me as my birthday present). Thank you.. ;)

Advertising moment for Darlie.. lol...

As expected, we spent hours and hours in the middle of the night, chatting and laughing together until the next day, we couldn't manage to wake up for our 2-day-trip! OMG!
Before leaving KL, we'd been to the Palace to meet our Royal Highness...
The King's horse.. Lol..

And even his soldier... Cool?!
;D
The place was crowded with tourists and everyone was grabbing the chance to snap photos around this area. It looks more like an exhibition hall to me. Lol...

And the palace look like White House!
Wah.... @_@

Sweet moment: Mug Mug and Curryegg

Soon, we'd been to Gua Tempurung, Ipoh. Again, we didnt enter the place since we're not into cave climbing.

Gua Tempurung (Tempurung Cave)

So, we were there playing with water and had our photography moment.. ;D

Kango River- Clean laving water..

Well.. true.. It's indeed clean.. but where are the living things?

I love this picture..

My dad... Cool?

Mug Mug with her beautiful pose.. I took this.. ;D

Learning to be a model.. can someone teach me? Haha.. - taken by Mug Mug..

We tried to leave our footprints.. just like Neil Amstrong who left his foot steps on the moon surface area.. Lol..

I love playing with water!

What a rare fruits.. Do anyone know about this?

Soon, we continued our journey to the North of Malaysia. Along the sweet journey, my eyes spotted on this old bus..

Old...

You may ask, where was my destination?
Answer: Back to my hometown (Penang).

Haha... Surprise! I went back to Penang last week under my packed schedule. However, it's worth it. Whenever I go back, I will feel fresher and more energetic. This is why, I love Penang so much.

During that 2 days holiday, May, Steph and I made a small gathering at May's house. We'd our 'pillow talk' session and it was wonderful.



And of course, we will never miss out our 'gila-gila' moment... (crazy moment)



I wonder, when can we stop doing stupid/cute action in front of the camera? We're 21 year old now!
Lol... Well, I don't care... kekez... ;D

Frankly, I'm glad to have my true friends in my life. No matter how far we stay and how long we never meet, our friendships will still blossom as the we grow older. Promise?

To May, thank for being my friend for 9 years. You're the one who are always there for me whenever I need a lift. I hope, our friendship will continue until the last breath we breath.

True Friends
There are many people, That we meet in our lives.
But only a very few will make a lasting
impression on our minds and hearts.

It is these people, That we will think of often
and who will always remain Important to us as....
TRUE FRIENDS.

The Secret Behind The Cordyceps (Special Edition)

Resources from: Wikipedia, youtube, Timo, and other related articles.
(Notes: I've used some of your names here. Search for your name and tell me if you see it! What a games.)

*In the classroom*

"Good morning Ms Curryegg"

"Good morning everyone.
Today, Miss Curryegg is going to teach you Science. It will be a very interesting class and I hope everyone will pay attention. Promise?"

"Promise"

"Good. Today, our topic will be Cordyceps. Before explaining anything about Cordyceps, I wish to show you a very stunning video clip from youtube"

*Happy face from all of you*
*Applause*



"So... how was the video clip? Do you enjoy it?

I noticed flux and baby_on_board are paying attention in my class for the very first time. Or else, they will be yawning all the way. Great job Curryegg!

"Anyone knows what is Cordyceps?"

My eyes had spotted some hands on the air, waving to catch my attention. I know they will be Paul, Wendy and Dalicia, but, I ignored them.. *naughty me*

"Generally, all Cordyceps species are parasitic, mainly on insects and other arthoropods; a few are parasitic on other fungi like the subterranean, truffle-like Elaphomyces. The mycelium invades and eventually replaces the host tissue, while the elongated fruiting body (stroma) may be cylindrical, branched, or of complex shape. The stroma bears many small, flask-shaped perithecia that contain the asci. These in turn contain the thread-like ascospores, which usually break into fragments and are presumably infective". -click here for more information.






"There are about 400 species in Cordyceps and one of the most popular species will be the Cordyceps sinensis, the Vegetable Caterpillar."

"Ms Curryegg, what is a Vegetable Caterpillar? Is it a plant?", Sameera asked in a curious tone.

"Good question! Let me explain to you. A Vegetable Caterpillar is the complex composed of the fruiting body of cordyceps and the dead larva of the insects on which the fungus is a parasitic. In late autumn, chemicals on the skin of the moth's caterpillars interact with the fungal spores and release the fungal mycelium which then infects the caterpillar. The infected caterpillar will drill underground and pass the long winter there. The mycelium starts to use the young insect as nutrient for rapid production. By early summer of the following year, the fungal infestation has killed the caterpillar and the fruiting body can be seen protruding from the caterpillar's head."




"Ahhww... the poor caterpillar...", I realized Lynnx was sobbing. She loves animals and I know she will feel sad hearing this. I could see Breezy was petting her behind her back.

"Maybe some of you may not realize that the Vegetable Caterpillar is actually the 'Dong Chong Xia Cao'. If we translate it into English, it will be known as 'Winter worm, summer grass'. Well, the word is very famous among the Chinese and usually, it is used as the medicine".





*Rolled eyes*
I could see Broken was shouting disgustingly and whispering something to his friends, Perfectwound and Rajeev after looking at these pictures. Poor Broken. But it's ok Broken, I feel the same too.

"Before, I thought 'Dong Chong Xia Cao' is a plant with a caterpillar shape. I didn't realize that I was wrong until Ms Keshi corrected me yesterday in the staff room with a series of encyclopedia books in her hand. Looks like our English teacher, Ms Keshi has a winder knowledge in Science compare to me".

Students are laughing loudly especially Apple and Johnny.
*Me? Shy*
Sigh..

"Ok ok. Stop laughing. Everyone will have their own mistake including me. In addition, we will never be able to study the all the Science facts if we don't have 500 years life span"

"Is that mean that we don't have to study Science since we can't be able to study all of them", Merdurian asked me cheekily.

"That's right Ms Curryegg", kaylee agreed.

*Ignoring them*

"As I've told you, the 'winter worm, summer grass' is used by the Chinese for several medical purposes. Let see the chart on the board now.


Advantages:

• Improves immune system
• Increases energy and stamina
• Improves respiratory system
• Anti-tumor effect
• Anti-aging
• Combats sexual dystuntion

It can cure or improve illness for examples:

• Erectile Dysfunction
• Coronary heart disease
• Arrhythmia
• Hypertension
• Pneumonia
• Hepatitis B
• Cirrhosis
• Leukemia
• Rhinitis
• Malignant tumor
• Bronchitis
• Diabetes
• Rheumatism
• Thrombocytopenia

"Look. this creature is beneficial to our body. You can buy it from the Chinese herbal shop in a raw or table form."



"Here is an article on how to protect the natural resources in Tibetan plateau. Since the numbers of Vegetable caterpillar is decreasing, some efforts have been done to protect the priceless herbs. Make sure you read it"


Soon,I handed the copies to Mac as the class monitor.

*Rrrriiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg!!!*

"Hurreooyy!!!", the students were shouting

"Times up. I hope to see you guys again. Please make a full report on this topic and pass up the report to me by tomorrow. Do I hear a yes from all of you?"

"............ yes...........", a down, sad tone from the class.

"Thank you Ms Curryegg".
I smiled, and disappeared from the class.
