convo on monday morning. that was quite a memorable moment in my life. i hv nvr taken sooo many photos within 2 hours. actually the ceremony didn't mean much to me but the photo taking session was just so fun that ppl who seldom talk to each other can actually gather together and smile at the same direction. then suddenly "Ka Cak!!" there u go, a nice photo has been taken.
when chancellor finally declared "the ceremony is now CLOSED...." cendawan shout "YEAH!!!" and followed by a lot of "Fui Chu.... behave..", "haha.. hehe...", cendawan is always under the limelight.

1st home outside Sheares, Ghim Moh (Posted Thursday, 08 July 2004)
moved into my new place last saturday. this flat is absolutely perfect for me living room is living room, bedroom is bedroom, kitchen is kitchen etc. i mean there is no a single unwanted stuff being put at unsuitable or unsightly spot. neat and tidy, with necessary appliances. to me, c'est parfait
i packed all my belongings into boxes after i woke up.. moved them to ghim moh and unpacked everything before i slept. the whole process took place within 1 day this is amazing. my record in sheares hall is always -> a few days to pack - a few hours to move - a few days to unpack. wah!! break record liao
But all this is impossible without all my fellow friends. they are professional movers!! move into and out from hall dunno how many times already after dinner, pastor SF drove us to hall in a pick-up. 5 kids sitting behind like "bangla", on the way to hall we saw a few companies in a lorry next to ours . once we arrived at hall ard 8pm, the professional movers quickly rush to my room, pull cum push all my boxes out from the room and put the heavy ones onto trolley. they are strong and fast but the only problem is that they are not familiar with the structure of blk b. they almost lost their way in this "maze". first of all, u gotta go all the way to the junction turn right and take the lift down to 4th floor. turn right twice and move to the next lift. take to 1st level and open the gate. who would remember so many turnings huh?? ok finally we loaded the little pick-up with my 4-year assets. well then we set out to ghim moh. this time round, i was the only one being the "bangla" and the rest upgrade liao, taking cab.
another 3 guys were waiting for us at ghim moh... shocked seeing so many things. they are just sooo "swey" staying opposite my blk in ghim moh and kena arrow to help us move. from the ground floor, take lift to 14th floor and walk down the stair to 13th floor carrying heavy boxes. still gotta walk all the way to the corner. die man... auntie in the flat also shocked watching us walked in and out uncounted times. finally, settled all the boxes and we had a drink downstair in a kopitiam.
fortunately they are helping and of course my lab tech's heavy duty trolley played an important part la... it is not only heavy duty but also very heavy. can train my muscle bringing that trolley up and down busses. moving house is not a fun thing to do but my house moving experience happened in such an interesting way. hahaha.. even so, i wouldn't want to move again in near future

My FIIRST Post (Posted 2004 June 18, Friday)
Cendawan Blog pindah rumah ke Cendawan-Mushroom Blog
I have started to blog since June 2004. Since xanga is not as useful friendly as blogspot, I decided to shift all my entire blog to this new blog.

Hi all, this is my first post. What shd I say? Well.. since i just came back from my home town, let me share with u my holiday.
I went back on 20 May (sat). everybody in the house was like so happy to see me and welcome me with huge smile on their face. my mum was especially glad to see me. so much so that she even prepare to cook "kiew ngiuk" (in hakka, basically is a chinese dish made up of layers of pork and layers of fried yam arranged alternatively. marinated with strong chinese seasonings, plenty of garlic and then stem for dunno how many hours).
Anyway, this dish is always available whenever my cousin(s) coming back from overseas . although this took her a few days to prepare but she still enjoyed doing it. *Salute!!* this is the attitude of a professional mother. As usual, we had a big feast in my house with all the relatives gathering. After dinner, we finally open the bottle of Bailey's i bought back last year. Because my auntie insisted that Bailey's comes better with fresh milk and ice. Well, i am fine with anything as long as i can drink it. Even my youngest cousin is old enough to take alcohol. wahseh!!... time really flies.
During the Pesta Menuai (Harvest Festival) weekend, Magaret and i went onto a trip to Pulau Manukan with Yew Yao and his friends. The trip was cool.. coz it's raining in the morning (real cool~~ huh ). Fortunately, rain stopped in the afternoon then we actually went snorkelling. after soaking in salt water, taking shower back in our chalet has become a luxury. Ah Fong, "WEI!!! how come the water is weak!! how come my lather is forever on my hair????!!! #@$*^)@$#" well... i supposed luxury turned into disaster as the door cannot be locked properly and the water supply was terrible . besides the washroom, the chalet is basically very cozy and comfortable. worth the money our chalet is a double storey wooden house with living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, washroom and a small balcony aka smoking area . since the girls took forever to bathe, all the guys gotta take quick shower using pipe water outside the chalet... (poor thing.. ) however, these little hiccups didn't stop us from having a great dinner -> BBQ at the beach.
We had BBQ dinner until late night then we play "cangkul big D". it was an extraordinary cangkul big D. the one who won the game can ask the loser 1 question and the loser gotta tell nothing but the truth (cheh!! who knows if i fake.. ) funny questions kept coming up including: "when was the first time u peep a girl bathing?", "when was the last time u watch a blue film?"etc... the longer we played, the more concentrated we were in the game coz no one wanted to lose. the 4 players were losing their brain cells while the other 4 audience were simply happily sit down there and wait for the Q & A session "mou tin lei!!" (no heavenly rules) anyway all of us enjoyed the game.
The next morning, we had breakfast, photo taking session and finally a small little speed boat took us back to mainland. thanx to Yew Yao for organizing such a memorable trip. hopefully the promised Mt K trip will be successful in the future.
For the rest of the holiday, Magaret and Esther (prearing for ACCA ) were at home so my stay was more interesting and less lonely . we went shopping, eating out, going church, visiting grandma, getting new IC, getting admin stuff done, visiting Tanjung Aru, watching concert, watching movies etc... these r the typical events back home. In order to cut my first post short, i scrapped a lot of my holiday "dairy".
my holiday finally ended on 14 June. this 2-hour airasia flight brought me back to johor senai airport. by taking a slow stroll, i arrived at my second home -> sheares Hall at abt 5pm. i was just so tired and wanted to dive into my bed.

Good Bye Mum...
My mum passed away on 18 Sept 2009. She fought her battle against colonrectal cancer for 2 years. Although the sickness has conquered her body but GOD conquered death. She had no fear facing death. She no longer suffer pain and left the world peacefully.
When I was young, my mum nagged all the time. "SHOWER ALREADY??", "GO COLLECT THE CLOTHES!", "COME AND HELP ME COOK DINNER!!", "PREPARE THE TABLE FOR DINNER!" etc etc. Her loud voice frightened me all the time.
Sometime I wonder why she kept shouting at us? Why can't she behave like other aunties? Mui Kim auntie fetch her daughterS from school once in a while but my mum didn't. Mui Mang auntie bought lots of TV game for his sons but my mum didn't. Eldest auntie used to stay at home and cook lunch everyday but my mum didn't. Why is she different?
She was teaching us to be independant. She didn't fetch us from school so that we can learn the importance of punctuality and not to miss our school bus. She didn't buy us toys so that we can learn to be friendly and play other's toys for free. She didn't stay home to cook us lunch so that we learned how to manage our own life. My mum is the best teacher I ever had.
Thanks mum. You taught me well. Your early demise was my loss. I'll miss you a lot.
