Going back to our roots. By Chan Soon Meng.

Our pioneering ancestors Mr. & Mrs. Chan Kwan Seng sailed from China in a junk boat and landed on the banks of the Klang River in 1880 where they settled down in Kuala Lumpur.  It never dawned on me that I will be the only Chan to do the opposite of what my great grandfather did……

In 2005 my husband Kok Peng was offered a teaching post in Yang En University in Quanzhou in the province of Fujian, China.  He had retired from IBM and our children had grown up.  Cynthia had married and settled in Australia and David also tied the knot and working in Vietnam.  Our "birds" have flown off and there was an "empty nest" or emptiness left behind without the kids. We felt a need for some changes in our lives.

 

At first I was quite reluctant to go to China.  Never in my lifetime had I ever wanted to visit China. However I do recollect that sometime in the spring of my youth or early married life I had wished to go abroad and live as an expatriate in a foreign land in a western country.  My dream finally seemed to have materialized much later in my autumn years!  But it was to go to China, the land of my forefathers!

Well, I had prayed to God for a change in my life and God responded.  I did not mention to God what kind of new lifestyle I wanted or which country I would like to go.  I should have been more specific in my prayers.  Anyway, I decided to give it a try as Kok Peng said it was a yearly contract and we can always return home when the contract ends.  It turned into five years of living in China!  Every year we renewed the contract and thanks be to God it has been five wonderful years of a changed lifestyle.

 

I fell in love with Yang En University as soon as I arrived.  There were beautiful majestic mountains, green hills, valleys and lakes surrounding the University.  Farms planted with  various types of fruit trees and vegetables are nearby  in the countryside. There are lots of mango and longan trees all over the campus.  At night one can see the twinkling stars and a bright shining moon up in the sky making it so enchanting and peaceful.

 

Nearby is the Majia village, which is like Pudu when Ah Poh and Ah Koong were alive and used to live in the 1960s.  There is a beautiful government controlled Church situated on a hill which I have to walk a distance uphill and downhill passing through pigsties, chicken and duck farms if I wanted to attend the Chinese Church service. I regretted I didn't learn to speak mandarin when mother engaged Chinese teacher Mdm Wong to our house in Cheras years ago to teach us when we were young.  Everyone in the village and campus communicate in Chinese and some spoke Minnan which is the hokkien dialect.

I got to know many University students and local teachers when I started to occupy my time conducting free English classes and Scrabble sessions to the many eager students who wanted to learn English.  The students are so friendly and they love to speak to foreigners.  In the mornings when I go for my backward walks, some students follow me around in the stadium so that they can practise their oral English.  They invited me to their homes and  gave me gifts of scarves, tea sets, and exotic food such as chicken and duck feet and duck necks!

 

This will be our fifth year stay in China having had an opportunity of living in a new environment.  We have gained new experiences and exposure of life different from Malaysia, Australia or Vietnam.  It has been a satisfying lifestyle living in the land where our ancestors came from. Soon we will go home to where we were born and bred, where our ancestors took their first bold step into a foreign land which we now call home sweet home in Malaysia.

Watch Number 1.

I opened the door and looked behind. Emma had a shocked expression on her face and quickly close the door. I turned back and there were 20 pairs of eyes on me.

Damn wrong classroom.

Work

Work is the opposite of play. It is the differentiation of integration. Its friction against force. Resistance and current. It is life, but with life there is death.

No more time to waste. Loads of projects and assignments to finish before exams. So not ready.

The weekend was awesome :D

I'm excellent in this game, and therefore, have no life.

4 days 15 hours to become level 34. Compare these stats to others, who take an average of 1 day 3 hours longer to get to the same level. I've played 454 games so far and have collected 109 Ace Player pins (Be the best player in the whole game) which comes to 0.24 of my games, which means in a quarter of my games, I am the best player there is (Hell yeah). But there's a problem.

I've been playing this game for 4 days and 18 hours.

This "problem" which exists definitely shows in my uni results, which to tell the truth, is not up to par. Scoring 67% for the Physics mid-term (Don't get me started on Dynamics test) and 26/40 for Engineering Materials mid-term says it all. I always have the feeling that I mostly know everything, which in turn, leads to my demise as I stare blankly, clueless at the questions being asked. Some of the mistakes made as extremely stupid such as 2-4(2) = -10, while others were carelessness (It is the recovery process that makes the material ductile, not annealing, which is the process of heating up a material so that it recovers,
so that it becomes ductile. Ugh)

Oh btw, I'm not a firm believer of carelessness and that I hate it when people say "Next time don't careless" because the word careless means that you didn't see the wrong in the question and therefore thought it was right, which in turn means that you can only reduce carelessness, not eliminate it. And also the fact that being careless means that you couldn't see it, so how can you see something which you couldn't see?

I think I should study more often, I don't like the fact that my calculator has ran out of battery, not my printer which has ran out of ink.

Gotta focus on studies for these few weeks cause after June 24^th it'll be all over...for about a month.

I keep failing with this "Part" posts.

YAY NISSAN SENTRA.

85k km, 37k, gold colour, 1.6L, its okay.

"I got so frustrated with doing such an easy thing I almost didn't do it!"
    - Brother about doing the 3 point turn

With that, my brother can finally drive HIMSELF. No more picking him up at 6pm at a place 30 minutes away, on my holiday. No more driving him to Serriamas because his friend has a party and my parents are glued to the TV, watching tennis. Still need to wait till 6pm every Monday, but he can damn well drive ME.

Okay, so the thing is sadly, the Savvy, (or Joanna) the little red car which I been having for the past 2 years, which passenger seat has been filled with many bottoms (Since I'm the one usually driving) will be going in about 6 months to a year. This time, the only restrictions in the "new" car would be that it has to be a used car, and also budget. The budget has increased from around RM28k (Which was a bargain, given that a new Savvy of my specs costs Rm42k, and that my car had only clocked in 60KM when it was purchased!) to RM55-65K, and again, some of the money is coming out from my own pocket. (Don't ask) There will be no more restrictions on HORSEPOWER LIKE LAST TIME (My dad thought that the first thing I would do is race) and I don't think that it must be a hatchback. Given that all my passengers have survived with all body parts intact every single time, (Although mentally, some may not, given my mood that day) and that I've only been in a minor accident with a stationary car and that was reversing out and was embarrassing, I must say that my driving is fine now.

Okay, step 1: List down ALL cars which satisfy conditions.

Honda Civic
Honda City
Toyota Vios
Suzuki Swift
Protons
Old BMWs (3 and 5 series)
Audi A4
Mazda RX7
Peugeot 3 series
Hyundai Accent
Hyundai Getz
Toyota Atlas
Honda Accord
Nissan X-Trail
Old Mercedes Benz
Ford Focus
Old Nissans
FTO
GTO
SHIT THERE ARE SO MANY.

Have to go look around than, and come back with a refined report.

Graph 2: Always worse than Graph 1, as sequels always do.

Old Blog?

Looking back at my old blog: http://www.xanga.com/Light_X

Realized that it used to be quite good last time, with pictures and everything unlike now where I have gotten so lazy.

Going Mad.

I'm going crazy. Desperate to do things.

"Take your time" he said, "Time is on your side, no cause for concern"

Intelligent thing, he is.

Hoegaarden Dark > Leffe Brun > Hoegaarden White > Heineken > Tuborg > Stella Artois > Leffe Blond > Corona > Paulaner Dark > Tiger > Carlsberg > Anchor > Guinness Stout > Skol

5 things I did that made no sense at all.

Well, here are 5 things I did this month that made no sense at all.

1. I constantly logged in facebook, hoping that someone would comment on my status (that changed every 2 hours or so)

2. Forum flaming!

3. I went to 1 Utama, parked my car, walked around for 30 minutes, and drove back.

4. I look forward to the times I fetch my brother from college.
At least there's something to do.

5. I rode a bus from Pyramid to Kelana Jaya LRT with my brother so that he could take public transport once in a while. Then we rode back to Pyramid so that I could send him home in my car.

Someone who owes money.

Hi there,

the post which I am gonna blog about concerns someone whom actually reads my blog, continue reading to find if you're the one.

HOW DARE YOU SCAM PEOPLE OF THEIR MONEY.

You, watch out, first it was XL. You called her to help you book a ticket for the graduation dinner, which of course she did as she was A FRIEND.

When everything was settled, you said that you would be going, and would be paying the money on that day. But, LAST MINUTE, you decided to not go, which is fine really, if you have PAID FOR THE TICKET AS IT WAS YOURS.

When she called, you said that you won't need to pay as you didn't go. And hung up.

You took advantage of a nice girl, I don't think she really realize the situation here! (Maybe after this she might)

Something's wrong with your head.

The concept of booking,
The concept of owing money,
The concept of friends,

Doesn't seem to get inside that 20mm steel plated skull of yours.

Simply put, what pisses me off is the concept that you can take advantage of people!?

And now, I hear from a little bird that you took RM80 from another girl!?

Sick,
just horrendously sick.
You mentally retarded person, curl up in a ball and die.

The comeback king: Pianoman.

Last week, I was doing the normal ritual of trying to fall asleep and failing to do so. As this was happening, I was thinking. (This is a "no shit, sherlock" moment) I was thinking, "Should I get back my piano groove again?"

Well, today was the first piano lesson I had in exactly 1 year 3 months and 12 days. It is also today that I have realized that it is as up to par as my Form 2 Sejarah.

During this piano lesson, while I didn't sound as if a drunken dog decided to chase a cat in an area restricted to the confinements of the piano keyboard when playing it, I didn't sound as if the dog was NOT drunk when it decided to chase a cat in an area restricted to the confinements of a piano keyboard. Not exactly sure how it degraded so badly, but it has, and I gotta work hard on it, cause the jump from Grade 7 to Grade 8 in the first place is as if you took part in a marathon when you only do 1500m, and now with this 1 year handicap, it gonna be with a 50 km/h face-on wind.

Hopefully what I want to achieve by the end of this year is to just be able to pick up Bach or Beethoven or Chopin and look at it and say, “Hmmm, I’ll try this” instead of “No.”
