That's the event: Ain't no strawberry!

"Strawberry Generation: They look chic and sophisticated. They are soft and get hurt easily. They seem unbearably spoilt and can't take much pressure. They are the so called strawberry generation."

"The term was coined by taiwan writer in one of her books about office rules. This expression is now finding its way into mainland, and refers to young workers, of only child families, who have been active in the workforce for just a year or two. They are generally well educated but are self-centered and give too much importance to appearance and material comforts."

Above is quoted from the booklet given in the event organized for freshman "Ain't No Strawberry!"
The event was quite fun. Starts from 9am till 4.30pm. The ice breaking game is forming groups of three and two roleplay trees and one roleplay squirrel. Now, when they say timber, the trees switch partners. When they say hunter, the squirrels changed trees, when they say "TSUNAMI", everyone scatter and find new partners. Be it trees or squirrels. Then go into groups randomly. I'm in group 2. There are 12 person in my group and two instructors(seniors). And it's like telematch/station game.

First station, pass balloon using your legs to the person behind you. There are eight rounds. Second station, like the japanese scooping goldfish game. Instead of goldfish, we have to scoop ping pong ball. Two balls at a time. Using a plastic frame with handgrip and tissue paper. Be creative. Try to strap the tissue paper onto the frame. Only three pieces of tissue is given. Altogether scoop 6 balls. Then there's the bonus game as well. Fun.

Third station, guess the word. 4 person give hint, four person guess, another four wait at the side. Then change place. Fourth station, six person in a group. Tie the legs together, then move forward then back again. Funny.. Fifth station, easier. Just draw the stones needed from a box. The stones sre coloured and have to pick the right colours. Lucky draw. But by that time, we're tired and thirsty. the weather was so hot. After that, went for lunch.

Not finish yet of course. After lunch, went inside the air-conditioned hall(thank goodness). Played a game called treasure hunt. Five chairs in the middle. All groups form circle around the chair. Then when the MC asks for items like, 5 shoe laces, each group have to collect from their members the item then run to the center and sit on the chair there. The MC asks for things like longest hair, shortest person, watches, shoes, socks(eww...) and longest leghair... Lol...

Afterwards, watch a drama presented by seniors. Great performance. And looks familiar... Hmmm.... Hahaz. Then group sharing and at last, dance, take photo and head home! Long day! Exhausted.

Just wondering, am I a strawberry? Are you? ^-^

Time

College orientation, forced to participate. Or else, I'll really have nothing to do. But, so tiring. Can't really expressed my true feeling. Not suitable for public eyes as yet. See how long can I stand this. Time moves on quick. And so do life. Isn't it?

Gonna go for the KL tour and Malacca tour. Pass time. What I'm lacking is probably courage. It will come eventually. It always did at the last minute. Or else, I won't be here. Will I?

Random thoughts and typing. Might not make much sense but I need something to do. So here I am... Typing randomly. Optimistic, pessimistic? Live in the past, live in present, or live in future? That's the quiz we were given yesterday. And guess which am I?

And another discovery, during Form 3, when the teacher asks us to do the personality test, at that time the result is I am stressed free. Form 5, from my attitude and feeling when compared with the symptoms for stressed, I'm also stressed free. Then in Form 6, all the symptoms of stress appear. Exactly the same as what the booklet says. So, it means that from that time onwards, I've changed. Hmmm... What's the trigger exactly? I can't find the cause. National service? I don't think so. They taught stress management at that time as well. If it appears already, i should know. Form 6. Really? Or now? More like came from that time.

What do I do when I'm stressed? I tend to run away from stuff I should do. Like doing cleaning suddenly, playing computer games, read, sleep, eat. I put on weight during the stpm exam. Then it goes down again afterwards. Hope I don't gain weight now again because of the stress. Nor do I want to loose weight. I think... hard to say, consider how choosy I am, the food here really isn't my favourite.

Now I KNOW

I wonder. If internet, computer, phone is that important. All I need is a book. Usually. Now, nope. I need something more to occupy me. I finish reading too quickly. Not enough books. And they are a too expensive hobby. So, I turn to the internet. See... It takes up more time. Fill in the boredom. Actually, I don't find much to do in the internet as well. Watching drama, connection too slow. Best just surf the net, facebook, gaia. Look for games and so on. Life is so empty and boring now. Give me something interesting to do!!! T_T

Hmm... Yum. Yum...

I'm eating a lot lately. Visited quite a few place. And the food are all quite good.

Lock thian "Ye Shanghai". Chinese food. Went with my third aunty. The pork ribs are yummy. And the cold dish marinated billin. Delicious. Also ate lobster with salted egg yolk and wine lobster soup. The dishes are all so nice! ^.^

Merdeka palace-Ristorante Beccari. Italian food. Went with my first aunty. We had pizza and spaghetti aglio-olio. You can see the chef putting the pizza into the oven to bake. Very interesting. And there's also the breaking bread before meal. The garlic and olive oil that go with the bread. It's so nice. Unique way of breaking bread.

Sharing planet. Went there with fishy and doggy. Had western there. The most special dish is ice-cream chicken chop. Surprisingly, ice cream go well with chicken chop. ^.^ I ordered a dish whose name I can't remember. Probably because it isn't in English. =.=' But the most important thing is it's nice. It's a piece of grilled chicken chop top with turkey ham and cheese. With a little gravy. The name starts with "Supreme.....". >.<

Carvery. Went with my god mother and big aunty. Western as well. But it's way different. They have buffet carvery style. There's a salad bar and dishes to choose like every other buffet. The unique thing is, they serve the main course table by table. They take out beef, chicken, lamb, chicken wings, mussels and so on, and serve you at your table. You can tell them to cut however much you want. It's the first time I see this. The down side, I don't take beef and lamb. So, I did not go for the buffet. We had a'la carte. Grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce. Yum. Pizza. Thin crust. Delicious. Spaghetti aglio-olio. It's like western kolo mee. Great. And then the chicken cordon blue. Chicken fried in breadcrumbs with ham and cheese stuffed inside. Love it.

Side walk. Went with my small aunty. Western again. I like western. Lol. The Caesar salad with shredded cheese on top. Nice. Then we had spaghetti with thyme mint sauce. Not much mint feeling but quite good. And then there's the side walk pizza. It's another kind of pizza. Not the thin crust nor the pizza hut crust. It's a liitle crispy but thick crust. Unique and nice. The topping was overflowing. Love it. The ice chocolate drink was great as well. ^.^

Good time. Went with my parents. Western all over again. Hahaha. Had pork chop with creamy garlic sauce. My favourite. >.< And of course Caesar salad. It's different from side walk. They don't use cheese powder. It's another kind of topping that I can't identify. Taste quite good. Overall, a satisfying meal.

Then there's the dinner at my grandma's. Home cooked food and a few ordered food. lol. My grandma's specialty: salted fish with pork meat. That dish alone can go with a whole pot of rice. Mango fish, marinated bilin(different from Lok Thian this one is more spicy), carbonara prawn with mushrooms and potato, Bean paste steam fish, a new recipe duck(cooked since morning so imagine how soft and mouthwatering it is), ginger marinated fried chicken. Dessert, my favourite "Gui Ling Gao". And there's fruit punch with a little alcohol added. Satisfying meal indeed.

So much to eat. Hmm.... So satisfied and happy. Time for bed. Sleep, eat. That's what lazy people do. >.<

Probably...

Went to watch Sucker Punch with Lady E and 1_3. I don't get the movie at all. WTH is it talking about. Blur blur at the end of the show. But one thing for sure, the animation is cool. Lol. And the girl look like a babydoll. So unreal. >.<

This will probably be our last outing. ^.^ Until next time. Hehe...

Thoughts for share

Children.
How do you describe them? Angels with a tiny bit of devil in them or devils wearing an angel's facade. They are so annoying at times that you feel like strangling them. Sometimes they are so cute that you can't help liking them. One moment, they are so very stubborn and likes to daydream so much that you have a hard time getting them to concentrate. They make you so mad. Yet, their little antics and ways make you can't help smiling and laughing. A little gesture or a words or two and you feel like smiling and letting them have their own ways. You can't help it at all. So endearing are they.
Funny how their mind works though. I can understand that they are tired but don't know why they can't concentrate and focus so that quickly finish work, quickly go home or play.
Above is a little afterthoughts I made from this one month of work.

P.S. The path is clear. Decision is made. Looks like time for my brain to start working again. One crossroad passed. How many to go? >.<

Long time didn't online

Since I started work, less time to online. Time for a little update. Got my wages yesterday, felt so good to get paid. Hehehe... But I feel that the job is tiring. Although only work 4 hours a day. The children are so naughty, noisy, hateful because they don't listen. Really don't understand. And they have a lot of homework, test and so on. Makes you hectic because some who are good are so fast, while others are so slow. Hard to follow the pace. And then there are a few students, who likes to cry. Goodness knows what is there to cry about. They just suddenly cry without reason, when finally get them to talk, their reason are so funny. One says he has a headache, another says he don't want to come tuition, one fell down while playing with her brother, then bit her brother, one sneeze and hit his head on the table. Speechless. >.<
