Bok Sat

20 Library Motto of Harvard University (not sure whether it's really from Harvard but this definitely is some genius production) Came across this on the internet and felt like sharing with you readers. Just in case you haven't read about it.

1.此刻打盹,你将做梦;而此刻学习,你将圆梦。
If you take a nap now, you will have a dream; if you study now, your dream will come true.
2.我荒废的今日,正是昨日殒身之人祈求的明日。
3.觉得为时已晚的时候,恰恰是最早的时候。
When you feel that its late at night, it is still early in the morning.
4.勿将今日之事拖到明日。
Do not drag anything from today to tomorrow.
5.学习时的苦痛是暂时的,未学到的痛苦是终生的。
Study is a temporary pain, but not knowing is a life-long pain.
6.学习这件事,不是缺乏时间,而是缺乏努力。
Study isn't about the matter of time, its about the effort.
7.幸福或许不排名次,但成功必须。
8.学习并不是人生的全部。但既然连人生的一部分―学习也无法征服,还能做什么呢?
Study isn't everything in your life but what else can you do if you can't even accomplish this one part of your life (study)?
9.请享受无法回避的痛苦。
Please enjoy this inevitable pain.
10.只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。
The true taste of success is to be faster, to be earlier, and to be a more hardworker than others.
11.谁也不能随随便便成功,它来自彻底的自我管理和毅力。
There is no easy path to success, one much comes from the inner self-discipline and determination.
12.时间在流逝。
Time is running-up.
13.现在流的口水,将成为明天的眼泪。
The drool of your nap will be the tears for tomorrow.
14.狗一样地学,绅士一样地玩。
Learn like a dog, play like a gentlemen.
15.今天不走,明天要跑。
Stop today, run tomorrow.
16.投资未来的人,是忠于现实的人。
 A realistic person is those who invest in current.
17.受教育程度代表收入。
The degree of education represent the amount of income.
18.一天过完,不会再来。
There will be no second today.
19.即使现在,对手也不停地翻动书页。
Your opponents are flipping their books, even now.
20.没有艰辛,便无所获。
No pain, no gain.

Inspiring, isn't it?

I just have to keep on gulping especially at number 13.
Like seriously, guilty to the max!  Is this God's purpose to show me this today when I'm being unproductive? If it is, then gosh, it really helps. 感恩。

Let's continue to bok sat!
Oh by the way 'bok sat' means work really hard in Cantonese. It's almost equivalent to 'pia' in Hokkien. Whee. cute word right ♥ :)

and I am so going to stay up tonight.
Yes, call me the unhealthy owl or anything you like. Whatever la I am never a morning person anyway.


And I don't need to fret about any worsening condition of my puffy/panda eyes because I have my secret beauty weapon!!

Pre-moistened eye pads soaked in cucumber essence. Pretty cool huh?
It works better when you put it in the refrigerator before using.

but frankly speaking this product is quite redundant actually. Don't really see much effect after using. Might as well just buy real cucumbers and put on your eyes. Cheaper somemore.



Oh well.. Girls and their irrationality :)

Craving for Ninja

 Ever since I had my first bite on a Ninja Joe's burger , I got hooked on it forever like a drug addict.
It's like another 'Chatime' to me, something that I can never miss if I see the outlet.

It's not easy to find a non-halal fast food outlet in Malaysia, which makes Ninja Joes really cool. I mean thinking about having fast food like Mc Donalds again can sometimes be depressing.
Fret not, this is a perfect alternative (provided, of course, if you're a non-Muslim). In fact, the patty is homemade and it feels more authentic.

Went to The Gardens again that day and was relieved that I finally got to satisfy my cravings after so long. nom nom nom.
 

Tried 'Big Boss' meal for the first time. I wouldn't say it's heavenly because it pretty much tastes the same like the other usual 'ninjas'. The only difference is that it's bigger, and you have an extra fried egg in it. You can even add RM1 for cheese or bacon. Overall I still prefer the normal ninja burgers than this bigger version one. It's a bit too big that people with small mouth like me need quite some effort (i.e. open mouth widely) when eating.

Plus, by ordering 2 or 3 normal ninjas instead of one big boss you get to taste more variety of sauces like teriyaki, sweet & sour, black pepper etc. But oh well, the sauce doesn't really make much difference. The pork patty itself earns the overall marks.



Hana enjoying her 'big boss' too. 
"Too big" she said. "How to eat??"

 Exam's coming and I still have time to camwhore as usual.

Have a fruitful week ahead!

Hello Kitty Nerd Specs

Oops just realised that I haven't been updating for more than a week already. (okay not 'just' realised, I knew this all the way) argh how to gain loyal readers like that? :/

Felt so guilty when I listed out the topics I wanted to share with you guys yet still not being posted up.

Let's see.. it's already May now and I didn't even talk about my 20th birthday celebration. -.-
So many events last term I didn't even blog about any of them! Worst thing of all, I found out that I still have zillions of beautiful Japan trip photos last year yet to be shared. fml.



Huhuhu one of my favourite birthday present :)  Kawaii-des!!
Thank you Chir Wey and Hazel ♥

Study Leave has already started which means I don't need to go for official lessons anymore. Just a few more extra class and I shall be totally prepared for my A2!

Can't wait anymore.
Done with my application for intercollegiate halls accommodation last week and just found out that staying one night in London would cost me at least 24.7 pounds (for a single room). That's like you can have a deluxe super single room with en suite bathroom in other parts of UK. oh well.

I am so near already.
Just one more step, Grace, one more... *pulls socks up*

Productive afternoon @ Jing-Si Books and Cafe

Although I am back in Penang for 'holiday' but it's not really a time for me to totally relax because, well.. A2 exams are coming soon in June and it's now the most crucial time of my life so far i think..huhu

So I have been trying hard to do some revision before going back to KTJ but knowing me....the best procrastinator on earth..I need to find some new environment (as long as it's outside my bedroom) to force myself into study mode.

One of the places I've tried besides my dad's office is Jing-Si Books and Cafe.

Operated by Tzu-Chi organization, Ji-Si Books and Cafe opens daily from 12pm to 8pm.

Its tranquil and serene environment offers the best space for those who are busy or troubled to seek peace and calmness. With published books from Still thoughts and also other inspiring publications arranged on the book shelves, this cafe is a place to cultivate wisdom too as you sit down to read a good book, rethink about life while sipping a cup of aromatic tea.. or simply do nothing and just enjoy a peaceful afternoon with friends. This is what the cafe aims to offer.



Words of wisdom of the day for me :)

Productive afternoon. Microeconomics done! *ticks syllabus happily*

 

Out of all I ordered this 知足茶 'Tea of Contentment'
(Japanese Gen-Mai Cha)

Perhaps I was feeling happy and contented at that moment so the name of the tea caught my eye straight away when I read the menu. Also because I love Japanese stuff :)


Few years back I used to come here quite often. But I never like it here during exam seasons simply because there would be zillions of people (well, hyperbole) here and you could never concentrate fully.

Fortunately I went at the right time. There were a few customers only throughout the day and I was literally enjoying peace and calmness! *like a boss*

Sightseeing: Hotel Penaga

I was having lunch with daddy in Georgetown yesterday when we happened to pass by this row of eye-catching reconstructed heritage building.





Converted from pre-war shop houses, this boutique hotel has infused its every space with modern amenities while preserving the heritage side of the building. It's a perfect blend of the old and new I would say.

Piqued by curiosity we went in to look around.


A mini swimming pool beside the hotel's restaurant. 

Pretty cool but I thought it's for kids only. I wouldn't want to swim in that small space (as if I'm very big sized) but that's not the point. My main concern is that..People eating in the restaurant can see you quite clearly. Isn't this awkward :P

 

I adore those coloured glass panels...

 

and the patterned tiles.. 

hmm they have got a lift. not bad..

 


You can definitely detect the nostalgic ambiance of Old Penang here.
The vintage houses where my paternal grandparents used to stay when they were still young.


 Didn't get to see their rooms but apparently they must be really beautiful inside.
RM450 per night. hmm....

A cool mural by local artist behind the hotel.


I wouldn't mind to pay and stay over if I'm not a Penangite ;P
too bad I am. oh well.
