DD, Una and Me

Just realised that I have this blog post keeping in my draft folder for weeks and shame on me, I forgot to publish it..Oops!

Anyway, I attended TVHC2 and Networking Evening event hosted by Dedipower Managed Hosting on the 13th July 2010.

I feel grateful to be part of this event. I have not been attending any business social events since earlier this year ever as my status has been changed to ‘student’. Ha! It is quite a good exposure for a student though.

One thing I like about the company is people in Dedipower have a very good team work. I guess that is one of the reason why they are one of the leading hosting company in the UK. :) In chinese saying, very 一条心 (not sure how to translate this)

The performance of Una Palliser and Balkan Bears was great! See the clips below:

The Opening:

Seriously, I love her voice. Although not really knowing what she sang...hehe..

Completed 0.5 peak out of 3 peaks challenge

This is my first time camping in UK (Yorkshire Dale). Thanks SJ for tagging me along :p

A night before. Simple barbecue. Single use disposal barbecue tray. First time seeing it though. Thanks to SW for bringing it :)


Horrible face!


Our tents


I find this tent is quite interesting!


First stop, having my ‘brunch’ in Pen-y-Ghent café, ‘a pint mug’ coffee, 2 croissants and a book with me.


Start having fun by taking pictures of myself by setting the self timer of my camera.


My camping equipment. A Tesco plastic bag with 2 croissants, 500ml water, a broly, and a book. In fact, an old man keeps calling me the girl with a tesco plastic bag :S

I was on the way hiking up to Pen-y-Ghent. Honestly I had no plan to do hiking that day. I was actually with my friends. They were hiking with their company mates. I clearly understood that I wasn’t fit enough for this hiking, so I decided to stay on my own, enjoying the sun and peace. I had no idea how I found the hiking route. So I decided to take videos as a memoir of Chek doing her first hiking on her own.









Done with my self reflection! Feel happy!


Mission accomplished!

I have a good weekend though. I consider it as another breakthrough for myself. I never do hiking on my own. Moreover, I don’t have any right equipment with me, no map, no compass, no clue etc. However, I enjoy the peace along the hiking journey.

I do self reflection when I was arrived at the half peak. What I shall conclude is we will never know our potential until we really push for it. My friends said that sometimes I may be too harsh for myself. Yes, I do! My philosophy is simple. I cannot have expectation on anything or anyone but myself. That is the only way to keep pushing me further.

Do check more pictures on my facebook! :)

ISRU International Music Night

First time am joining social event organised by ISRU (International Student at Reading University). Was quite alright, seeing students from the other parts of the world, making some new friends. Only started enjoying enjoying myself at the last hour. Couldn't stayed too late as having appointment with lecturer on the next morning.

I actually felt quite flattered when some of the students thought am only aged 20-23...Am wondering, am I really look that young! Muahahahaha..

Lesson learnt: Never be on time for student social. I was there at 8pm (as being informed). The event only started at about 10pm. lol.

Enjoy the videos I took yesterday :)

First Drama Audition in the UK

This is my first audition outside my home country. Just give a try to a coming drama production - An Ideal Husband, playing Lady Getrude Chiltern.

My major concerns before walking in to HumSs Van Emden theatre was I am a bit lack in diction. This is a classic comedy, so diction does play an important part in this drama. Obviously am not fitting in terms of outlook as well as I suppose the character should be English people.

I love drama performance too much. Without further a due, I just gave a try. The funny part was when the guard in the building asked me: Where are you from? I guess they can give you a cast of communist...! I told him that am from Malaysia and just wondering how is the drama production here in the UK, so just pop by to have a look.

I was glad that I partnered with Nancy. Thank her for explaining me the script and the gist of it, so I can easily act with correct 'emotion'. She is very good :)

I don't think Ill get the part, however, I am glad that I make this attempt to try something new. Am quite suprise I am not nervous and not feeling shy at all.. The panel likes my grasp and ask me not to hold back when acting. lol!

I requested the panel judges (heads of the society) to take my audition video.

Specially dedicated this to Kel, my best buddy who always partnering me in audition during those old days. Hope you like it :)

914 - Father,祝福你

九月十四日－是农历八月十五（中秋节），也是我的好友，HOCKEN的大日子．．

习惯叫Hocken叫做Father,　因为他就像我的爸爸一样，不停的叮曙，教导．．．（大家请不要怀疑，虽然他大我一岁，但他的思想相当成熟，年纪轻轻，已经做了老板，正在经营外劳生意）

我很庆幸自己可以在飞伦敦前赶到吃他这一餐,而且瞒开心的因为看到很多自己的老朋友．．．有的真的是几百年没见了．．我真的吃到很开心．．．食物好好吃．．这可是我去伦敦前最后一餐华人大餐．．虽然从KL过到去大概是要２个小时，但还好．．只知道小多弄掉了她的Touch&Go Zing Card.

在婚礼开始前练唱，因为我和伦会在婚礼进行时演唱两首歌：

声音有点怪怪，看了不准笑：

我只在乎你


Stand By Me



Hocken & Bell, 在此祝福你们：白头偕老，永远快乐！！！！

2007圣诞购物广场装饰 Shopping Mall Christmas Decoration 2007

圣诞节-一个温馨的节日。。

There are a lot of Christmas decorations in the giant shopping mall nationwide

上个星期就去了THE CURVE...超有WHITE CHRISTMAS的感觉。。由其是THE STREET那整条街。。坐在那边吃东西。。感觉真棒！

Last week I went to THE CURVE…feel like having a WHITE CHRISTMAS….especially along THE STREET…the feel is so good while you are having your meal there….

The Curve Christmas Decoration 07

曼哈顿奇缘 Enchanted

这绝对是一部大人和小孩都值得看的电影。。。

This is a movie that suits all walks of life…

戏里把童话世界融入现代社会。。故事内容我就不谈了。。还是觉得大家应该买戏票进去电影院里看看。。。哈…

It’s a modern fairy tales.. I won’t tell you much of the story…However, I feel you should buy a ticket and watch in the cinema..

一边看的时候，真的有种自己也进入了童话世界(ANDALASIA)。。其实在童话世界里，一切都是那么的纯真。。就好像戏里的GISELE和PRINCE EDWARD，虽然他们从卡通人物来到了现实社会为整部戏搞了很多笑料(我在电影院里捧腹大笑，还直跺脚，还载歌载舞呢)，他们不是愚昧，不是天真，他们都很纯。。。但他们的纯竟改变了某些现实社会人的价值观。。。GISELE最后爱上的并不是PRINCE不是EDWARD，而是现代人ROBERT。而ROBERT却也不只不觉的爱上了GISELE，而他女友NANCY最后又爱上了PRINCE EDWARD。。不懂呢。。就是自己看了真的觉得很开心。。其实我们也是可以像卡通世界的人物那样，凡事也不要想那么多，就是纯一点，简单一点，真的会开心很多。。。

I felt myself had entered the cartoon world while watching…ANDALASIA…Well, in the cartoon world, everyone is so pure….just like GISELE and PRINCE EDWARD…although the existence of cartoon character in the real world amuse me a lot (can you imagine I was laughing like mad people in the movie, and kept stamping my feet on the floor, and kept on singing somemore, hoped didn’t scare people around..haha), I don’t think the cartoon characters are stupid, they are just pure…and their pureness has changed the people values nowadays…GISELE eventually had fell into ROBERT who is somebody in the real world..and his girlfriend NANCY had fell into PRINCE EDWARD…I just felt happy after watching it….and I feel like we actually can just be them in the cartoon world…just be simple…think we will be more happier…

有时我们真的太复杂，而且都太现实了。。而忘了自己纯真的一面。。我现在正在想如果现在小飞象DUMBO飞出来，然后载着我飞来飞去。。。阿拉丁神灯就握在我手，我擦擦它：然后许愿。。哇！愿望实现了。。。好开心。。。哈哈。。瞧！灰姑娘陪我伴舞。。。白雪公主和七个小矮人都出来了。。。我拿臭巫婆的扫把猛打他。。。因为看到他拿出红苹果。。！哇！我最爱的唐老鸭。。米奇老鼠。。。真的太开心了。。。

Sometimes we are just too complicated and too realistic….and we forgot our inner self…and I am now imagining DUMBO the little flying elephant is flying me around…then the ALLADIN lamps is realizing my every single dream….Wow….and CINDERELLA is dancing with me now….and THE SNOW WHITE and the SEVEN DWARTS are in front of me…and the devil WITCH is handing SNOW WHITE the poisonous apple and I am hitting her with the broom…and my beloved DONALD DUCK and MICKEY MOUSE….wow…I am so happy now…..

家庭式理发 - Home based Hair Styling

谁说理发一定要去著名理发屋？刚过的周末，小安就去飞染了个‘青见’发。。瞧！

Who said the haircut certainly must go to the famous salon? Last weekend, I just went to cut and dye my hair… Looks!

我的好友兼年轻有为, 帅气非凡，发艺一流理发造型师还不是把我弄得美美行行的。。最重要就是价钱公道，飞了你一个‘青见’发，水准一点都不差与那些价格高昂的著名理发屋噢。。哈哈。。小安只是有那句讲那句噢。。

My best friend is young, extremely good looking; serving you first class hair styling just did a great job on my hair…The most important thing is he charges reasonably. Not only provide you a good hair cut, moreover the quality is not from those expensive and famous hair salon…I am just to be absolute frank here…
