*The Sky of Caprice*

Thanks to Gavin, all of us have the chance to experience the uni life again in Carnegie Mellon University.
There was a Malaysian Food Festival organised by Malaysian students. 
Before going to that event, I was wondering are they going to cook the food exactly the same taste as what we ate in Malaysia?
The answer is Yes. I can say 95% similar to the taste that we expected. Well done!!

   

 

Autumn is a beautiful season, do you agree?
 



Students walking here and there...   
 

I was falling in love with Oakland because of its beautiful combination of nature and historic buildings. Blue sky, golden trees, statues, schools.
There are many universities in this little county. Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, Carlow University. They are all near to each other with no boundaries. 

First time I went there I have visited Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History. 
It has 2 parts - Art Gallery and Museum of Natural History   
We'd seen lots of thousands-years architecture from Roman, Italy, Greece, Egypt...and lots of pieces of art from the artist all around the world.
In the museum of natural history, yes we saw DINOSAURS! and assorted kinds of glamorous gems and fossils...

 
 
 
  

According to Carmen, the man on the right is Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus. Because of him, we have the month of August. 

 
 
 

Actually, we're prohibited from taking any photo in this gallery. =P

Cranberry Township is way too boring...
Don't be cheated by its name, there is no single cranberry tree in the town.
Luckily we're managed to go to the downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland during our first holiday.  

Pittsburgh is known as The City of Bridges. It has around 7 bridges along the river.
There are skyscrapers in the town with modern and also traditional design. Some buildings are already existed hundreds years ago.

   

The bus stop near our apartment...There is no shelter for the bus stop.



On the way to downtown...

 



     

The 36 hours fromMalaysia to Pittsburgh is indeed a very tiring journey.
KLIA --> Singapore Changi Airport --> Japan Narita Airport --> San Francisco Airport --> Pittsburgh Airport
I have no idea when to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner on the plane. It should be my dinner time but the sky out there was so bright.
I was very very tired and blurred because I didn't sleep at the night that we spent in Singapore Airport.
However, it made me successfully overcome the time differences. 

Before departure, we took some photos in KLIA. 




 

 
  
Guess what were we trying to say? US!! haha...

 
 

Finally...Time flies...
It's time to fly...

After waiting for half year, FINALLY, the journey is going to start soon.
How's my feeling right now?
I don't really know...It's complicated.

Perhaps it keeps us waiting for too long...
At first I am not expecting something because this adventure will only begin half year later.
And now...I am not so excited either because it takes too long to countdown and the future is full of uncertainties.

By the way, I am ready and well-prepared.



伴我走完整个探险之旅，与我随波逐流...
It will be my companion for the adventure.

Finally comes to our Graduation Trip!

Due to the unstable political situation and the Flu Epidemic in Thailand, we're forced to cancel the trip.
However, we've changed our destination to another nearer country!
Singapore - The Lion City!

We had spent 2 days 1 night in Singapore and managed to go quite a lot of places...
Don't be surprised because this is a super tiring trip.
We consumed much of our energy in order to exchange for more attractions.

Let's begin the journey!

Day 1
Station 1: Singapore Changi Airport

Due to the cheap air ticket, Wan Jun and Swee Ching had decided to fly to Singapore instead of taking the time-consuming bus.
Chew Huay and I went to the airport and met with them.

Finally I have the chance to celebrate with darling on his birthday!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to do so for the past 2 years.

After doing some research from the net, I choose Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for the birthday meal.
Let's see the environment before proceed to the food...







Assorted kinds of sauce bottles

The end of a wonderful university life; the beginning of the bright future.
However, there is no extremity of the friendship.

We have come to the end of our university life.
At this moment, the memories are still fresh and lively in my mind.
I still have a feeling of "I'll go back to the class and spend the lecture time with you guys, this is just a short vacation".

However, I have to face the reality.
Everyone of us has to continue our own journey to the next stage of life.

In our last few class, we'd taken some photos with the most handsome guy in class. ^^



Small Sweet Potato and Potato.




The Funny Chai Yu Loon

Segenting is a fishing village in Batu Pahat.
A famous Chinese temple here with a few giant dragon fish has attracted a lot of Singaporeans.

Daddy has recommended this place for a meal long long ago...
Finally, until yesterday, we had the chance to go there and tasted the delicacies of Ship Village.









Sister and I at the Ship Village.


Let's see what we have eaten!

This is the last midterm break I have in MMU.
At the beginning of the one week holiday, my sister came to Cyberjaya and we went Mid Valley for shopping.
Since we had never been to the Pasta Zanmai, and Darling was working there, we decided to have our lunch there before we caught up with a movie.



Mini Chicken Teriyaki Pasta




Mini Grilled Scallop and Mushroom Pizza




I was not feeling well that day so I didn't really taste the food.
However, we were indeed a bit disappointed with the food because the pizza had a burnt smell.

It's a hidden corner of One Utama.
Decorated with lots of artificial greeny grass...
The combination of white and green, brings me the peace and calm.
Neither pink nor purple, but still romantic...

Garden Lifestyle Store
It has a resemblance to Fullhouse Lifestyle Store in Niu Ze Xui.
After reading a post in Kampungboycitygal.com, I decided to have a look.





Little flower pot

Last Saturday, while everybody is going for wedding dinner, Perhentian Island and home sweet home, for us who didn't go home, we have a little plan too... =P
We went to Happy 4 Seasons!

It is a restaurant located at Wangsa Maju themed with 4 seasons.
After seeing the recommendation posted on Cari.com, we decided to go and have a try.
By the way, it's really really far from Cyberjaya...We took 1 and a half hours to reach there!

We chose to sit in the Winter section.
The temperature is always below 15 degree celcius!





Part of the Winter section

The food was average but the environment and atmosphere were nice.
Let's see what we ordered.

Well, Birthday Celebration is certainly one of the important activities in our uni life.
It gives us a chance to gather together, take photos, and of coz find an excuse not to do revision. =P
However, we were happy indeed and we cherished every moments that we spent together.

The February Star : Berry Khor Fang Cheng
Venue : Neway Puchong

We have known Berry for almost 3 years since the first sem in Beta year.
He was the president of Volleyball Club.
Wan Chin and Chew Huay knew him first and I still remembered I met the sweaty-Berry in HB4 after VB training.
He is a handsome(as he always call himself like that), smart(as he always call himself like that too), funny(yes, indeed) and very gentlemen(truth) guy.
So we decided to go for sing-k with this cute friend and celebrated his birthday.

Time flies!
This is my last semester in MMU.
We therefore have the strongest desire to collect as many memories as we can.
On the past few weeks, we have had a lot of fun and spent a lot of happy moments together.

Station 1 : The extra-ordinary-unexpected outing to Alamanda.
This is absolutely a photo-shooting session instead of shopping. =D
Let's see some of the photos...









Inside Alamanda...

After we took turns to take pictures with the merry-go-round and dono-what-is-it, we went for outdoor photo shooting.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I had a very happy moment with my darling for the past 2 days.
Yes, 2 days.

To avoid the crowd, we had our Valentine's Dinner one day earlier.
After doing research for several weeks, we decided to try out the Korean BBQ Chicken Valentine's Promotion.
Instead of going to shopping malls with people mountain people sea,
we have chosen Jaya One at PJ Section 13.




Valentine's menu


We reached there pretty early, the sky was still bright.
However, the bright sky didn't affect the ambience at all.
The restaurant had nobody there.
Our place was ready with a little bear holding a love shape card, sitting on the table.
