Okok..it’s time to show you guys the scenery of Toronto and Peterborough. I am not amazed with this country yet as the buildings here look dreadfully boring and oldish. I personally prefer the designs of the buildings in Malaysia. However, I am shocked with the flowers planted around in the cities and towns. The flowers are blooming with birght colours! Besides, it’s CLEAN!!
Nice nice~
On the way going to the mall
Wow~~
In the previous post, I said that I had to stay in a hotel located in Toronto for 2 days before I can move into the hostel. Here is the photos of the hotel.
We were locked outside the room because of the stupid key room.
View from the hotel room. Oldish buildings
So far, the weather is just nice for me. It feels like staying in an air-conditioner room but with warm sunlight shine all over you. I guess the temperature is around 16 degree celcius but lower especially at night time.
Here are the photos taken on way the going to Peterborough. Look at the corns fields and the flat green grass.
Desperate looks of mine.
Stupid face.
Corns field.
Caravans!
All the photos above captured by me and Siew Lung using her camera!
Finally arrived after 2 hours journey.
On the way to Peterborough Inn.
my face is damn annoying.
Inside the room.
The bathtub is attached with Jacuzzi!!!
Me me me~
Ok la…I think I will stop here. Everyone is sleeping except me although it’s only 7pm here but 7am in Malaysia.
p/s:Notice that I am wearing the same clothes??? No choice….man! I duwan to wash it since it’s so not convinient…But, I am not sweating so dont worry, it’s not smelly as you think.
What a tiring journey!! I finally reached the main city in Canada, Toronto! But, this is still not considered as my final destination. I still need to take 2 hours bus in order to reach Peterborough, where my campus is located. Before we move to that place, we have to stay 2 nights by renting a hotel room in Toronto. Sadly, it cost me 110CAD for only 2 nights staying. The room is not as good as 5 stars hotel and yet the price is so expensive!
Im almost broke right now. I cannot imagine how am I going to survive for 3 months without much money left.
Friends…good luck in Canada!
see you guys soon!
Sadness pouring like a rain! Soon, I will be leaving to Canada which is 24th of August! I am going to miss everyone here in Malaysia.
More updates as soon as I step onto the land of Canada
Take care!!!!
Few days ago, I received a message from David saying that we are allowed to bring 2 cargo luggages with each 20kg. So, I spread this news but some didn’t believe it and thought it’s another wide-spread rumor. And now, this ‘rumor’ had been confirmed. Another sms sent by Lee Lung yesterday confirmed this!
Wow~40kg plus hand luggage 5kg, so together is 45kg! According to last year senior, they were allowed to bring 1 cargo luggage nia~ You see! How lucky we are! For your information, my winter clothing in previous post weighted only around 16kg! Imagine how many items you can bring along to Canada!? So better dont grumbling and saying that: "Why we are not allow to bring 60kg or more than that!!??".
I plan to make a what-to-bring list. So, can you guys help me to think about this too? Leave a comment or message at the chatbox beside this blog! Your help is appreciated!
What-to-bring List
1. Jackets (I have enough already. Better buy in Canada cos more trendy!)
2. Undies (Some of you might have to bring alot if you are lazy to wash frequently, lol.)
3. T-shirts (Going to buy more because t-shirts are expensive in Canada.)
4. Jeans (Useful to keep your legs warm! Plan to bring 4 of them. Izzit enough?)
5. Vaselin (Prevent lips and skin from drying.)
6. Skin care products (Definitely our skin condition will be very poor if temperature is freaking low!)
7. Winter hat, gloves, scarf, thermal wear.
8. Sweaters
9. A pair of good sport shoes and boots (Protect your feets from frozen.)
10. Make-up products (For those who love pretty. Btw, the cold weather will prevent your makeup from smudging. So, why not?)
11. Prom Dresses (For those who plan to attend formal events held in campus.)
12 Camera (Prices in Malaysia and Canada are almost the same. It’s up to you whether want to buy here or there.)
13. Slippers and high heels (Suggested by Xiao Wei or Jason. Better get one in Malaysia since Canada dont have cute one)
14. Toiletries
15. Medicine ( In case 水土不服）
16. International adaptor
17. Cash and important documents ( No money no talk, no documents no talk also.)
18. ………..
19. ………………
I can’t think of any liao…Help me anyone???
It is impossible for not bringing any winter clothing if you plan to go Canada for a long period of time like me. I guess most of you had spent quite an amount on it since winter clothing are definitely not famous because of the cheap prices =.= . Luckilly, I am emotionally and most important financially supported by my family. Besides that, one of my sister coworker was kind enough to give some of her one one. I must admit it’s really, she must have stored it for long long time.
My brother-in-law is now working in Solomon Island. If you don’t know where it is, please google it. Don’t expect me specifically describe its location. According to him, the place is full with people from around the world for business purposes. There are Koreans selling winter clothing from Korea with economical price compare with Malaysia. The quality is fine but the design….. Actually, not really winter but pre-winter clothing. It wil be the starting of the autumn season at the time we reach there. So, I better prepare some suitable clothing for it.
Looks like clothing in Korean drama?
This one looks like raincoat, probably made from nylon. But, it is quite thick.
Another raincoat alike one but in purple colour. I like it because the waist part can be tighten according to a person’s size.
Inner layer jacket. Suitable for wearing in campus area.
Sweet pink jacket. Another good choice for wearing during classes.
Cool colour. Easy for matching with t-shirts
Thumb up for this! Thick and trendy enough!
My favourite sweater of all. This one looks cute compare with other sweater I got. Scroll down in order to compare.
The back.
All the jackets and sweater above are contributed by my brother-in-law, Simon. Thanks alot~ (Price: Around RM500)
Here comes the thickest one which I prepared for the winter season. I like the furry stuff but it is useless except during photo session. (Price: RM200+)
Bought this luggage in Singapore. (Price: Less than RM200)
I know most of you probably bought the thermal wear from Universal Travellers. But, since the branded one will be more expensive so I chose the not-so-famous one but with same quality.
Price: RM120
Most expensive shocks I’ve bought. (Price: RM28 for 2)
Pinky stuffs. Scarf and winter hat:Free! Gloves: Cost around RM30!!!!ROARR
All the things above sponsored by my sisters.
Free Stuffs
Free from second sister in Malacca. She used to wear it in Aussie. Now it’s my turn!
Free from sister’s colleague. So big size therefore plan to wear it during sleeping time..
All the things above cost around RM1300. But, the truth is I only paid for like RM350. Wakakaka…untungnya~
My cousin is an owner of a seafood restaurant which located somewhere in Sekama, Kuching. As usual, before my sister leaving back to Singapore, my family and I had a delicious seafood dinner there. Not much photos taken but I still want to share it with you guys.
Izzit lobster or crayfish? Not sure…hmm
Veggie, my all time favourite.
My sister was trying hard to finish all the food.
I think my mum’s mouth looks awfully ugly in this picture! Better cover it up with sticker
On the way going to the restaurant…… means a perfect time to take vain photos! Im in blue colour outfit, not a familiar colour I used to wear.
A close up.
Round face.
Try to act innocent…but clearly I failed.
End.
I will not spare any seconds just to get together with my family since I am going to leave them for four years! Therefore, I took photos whenever I could just to make sure I will not forget their faces while I am in Canada. I edited them together in one in order to make your life easier(some of you really lazy to scroll down..lol).
Besides that, I took some photo at my grandparents place. They live in a kampung where green colour can be easilly found!
Love Green Environment…
Ok…stay close with this blog for another update of mine!!
大家现在都在为080808奥运感到兴奋吧？但我就对此一点兴趣都没有。。。因为我不是什么运动的料，所以对它也没什么好感存在。不讲一些关我屁事的东西了。就来聊聊关于我本身的东西，这样会比较不那么无聊~（真够死要脸！！==’）
就讲关于我平平的事迹，那就是一路平平无奇活到现在（真废）。平平的贫民，平平的姿色，平平的才艺，平平的学业成绩，就连胸前也是平平的-___-
还记得我小学时很喜欢画画，也代表过学校去参加过比赛。但是，从来就不曾拿过第一名！最多也只是第三名，因为功力不如别人吗。。。后来渐渐对画画不感兴趣了。年纪大了，人自然也开始懒惰了。所以画工一年一年在退步，最后不比赛了。真的是没什么值得骄傲的童年~
上了中学后，虽然是读第一班，但，成绩也只是平平无奇。在班上的表现从来不会让自己发光发热，那是因为本身没有傲人的才艺和智慧。就算我穿奇装异服，老师也不会注意到有我这个人的存在。哪像有一些人，就算是坐在角落发呆，老师也都会以为他或她正在沉思在伟大的哲学当中。。。
除了普通的成绩，我还有着平凡的样貌！在校园的追求者可以说是等于零000~有一些可能是我一个人在演独角戏，那边自个儿乐着呢~~这对一个充满憧憬的小女孩来讲真是太残酷了！我记得我妈曾跟我说过，我这个人天生是没有桃花运的。还真讲得他妈的准啊！
一直到了中四，我的人生才稍微有一点起色！人缘也没以前那么差了，至少我还有屈指可数的分丝。。。（啊~~~不知羞）可是，平平这个形容词还是离不开我！我从小到大都很爱跳舞，也曾在不少大大小小的舞台演出过。虽然如此，我的舞艺却没你们想象中那么棒！就算演出的经验真的不少，但还是没机会提升我的实力。。。跳来跳去都还是那个老样子，太没成就感了~
除了跳舞，我还喜欢唱歌。哈哈。。。还是那句“平平”。大家应该不晓得古晋是产生歌手的地方，让人钦佩的歌声到处都是。想在这里创出一篇天空，都还得靠运气呢！赢了几次冠军后，我渐渐也在古晋歌坛上消失了。haizz。。。真悲哀（原因不是我Kiasu，是因为远到西马读书去了！不要乱乱想~）
接下来在西马的日子，我也懒得讲了。你从我的部落格就可以看得出我的人生到底是怎么一回事了。又乏味又闷又无聊！成绩和样貌和发型和胸前还是一如往常，平平无奇啊aaaa…..
好了，罗嗦了老半天，也应该停了。你们不需要对我这个不知足的人感到同情~就当刚看过一段废话吧~
这是一张近期的照片~大家不要忘记我喔~~~
下次再见~爱你！
After spending some time collecting photos from friends, finally I get to show you the precious memories that will being kept in my mind for a long time visually. You know la, I am not rich like somebody else who got camera to take photos…haha
Every one of us will have to split with our loves one no matter how long you able to be with him or her. Even though you can stay together with them for like 1 year, 10 years or even 100 years. But, in the end you still have to accept the fact that you can’t own a thing forever even it’s your own body!
Before splitting with each other, we had our last meal together by having a yummy steamboat dinner. Sadly, we unable to take many photos as everyone of us were busy-ing with eating or defined as 埋头苦干.
Ice-cream our favourite~ XQ sorry for putting this lovely picture of yours.
Another big eater, Voon Qian!
At the end of the dinner…. No tears or crying, but fat and weight gained!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Before the steamboat dinner.
Every JPA scholars were required to attend a pre-departure briefing held at the JPA’s main office located in Putrajaya. I am not sure what is main purpose of the briefing, but it seemed like it’s our last gathering before flying to Canada since everybody were concentrate with their conversation instead of the speech being given. Thats why people keep taking photos like us XD
Yea…I tried so hard just to cover my plump face using my palm! So what???
There was nothing bad with attending the briefing as we got so much money from JPA. Travellers cheques worth thousands and cash as well which will only belong to us for short period of time nia….After that, we will need to encash the cheques and pay it to the university. How sad…
By the way, the blazer I am wearing cost RM400! So stupid as the design and cutting are so old fashion and out of date! I never know it’s optional. If not, I will not pay for it even though you beat me using a stick! Hishhhh
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Before the pre-departure briefing. Barisan Tatanasional(what the hell, im fcking stupid!!!) Biro Tatanegara camp.
I got no perfect term to use to describe the camp. Instead, I got complicated feelings toward it. Fun? I don’t think so. Boring? Not perfectly correct! Basically, it’s a camp that remind us how important to be proud as a Malaysian. We are asked to love and respect our leaders, revise back our country’s history….blah blah blah~
I like it because it provides a chance for scholars from different fields to get together and complete a bunch of activities in a small room. Seriouly, it’s really SMALL and HOT somemore! We never been so close before in the college so I appreciate it so much. Besides, we got 6 meals per day which is alot for me! The meal plan goes like this. Breakfast–>Tea Time–>Lunch–>Tea Time–>Dinner–>Supper. Repeating everyday.
Heh…I will become super fat if everyday eat like this!
I was busying munching my food while XQ busying talking. Both of us always be the last one to leave the canteen even it’s last day! Kent, you were behind us!LOL
The reasons I dislike it is that we have to wake up at 5.30am and sleep at 1.00am everyday. Imagine that you have to sit straight and properly just to listen to the speeches given by the facilitators and yet you are so damn tired already! So funny that you get to witness everyone’s eyes in the room half close half open. Another thing is that we have to wear like people going to ‘佛堂’. This is how we look like:
I was super aunty alike with trousers folded and Jepun slippers and the stupid pose! Sorry with the purple and black dots. Saved before realized!
Except sitting and listening, we also have to pass several physical tests. I am still craving for photos of our physical tests. Voon Qian has it but she offline before I can get it from her.
We were asked to crawl on a almost muddy ground with sharp stones and cross a small river filled with smelly mud and unidentified dirty stuffs! Smelliest and most painful experience ever! No more in the future. Luckilly, I am not selected for National Service.
Ok…this is a long one. Perfectly match as I didn’t update for a long time. Coming up next, trip to Bintan Island(no more.. paiseh as my sisters didnt save the pictures for me when they came back from Singapore. Tata.
p/s:Lovely photos just for you all. Enjoy~
Waiting for visas at the High Commissioner of Canada. We almost insane because of the long line.
UPDATE!!!!

Look at these poor people.
Look at the crowd! Wasehhh
