记录第五届沈慕羽杯书法精英赛 :)

假期过了，
整个假期过得很充实，都在做自己喜欢的事。
假期写了300幅春联供慈善用途，看了2本英文小说，6套剧。
最令我开心的不仅是几天前的21岁生日，还有这份迟来的生日礼物。
沈慕羽杯书法精英赛公开组三等奖！
我彷徨过，失意过，质疑过。
甚至在比赛现场都很没自信，抱着陪跑心态在写。
心情像做云霄飞车一样，起起伏伏。
一开始，觉得自己写得还可以吧？可是被老师说写得太干了。
吃了午餐，回到现场等成绩，看着墙上挂上了几幅作品，算一算10张了，心想自己又只是入选了。
谁知道评审评述时发现墙上挂着的10多张不全是公开组得奖作品，心想有机会吧（？）
谁知评审评述时说到整体隶书水平并不高，写得很干像狗尾巴一样，很怪等等。我又想糟了，我的就是蛮干的，唉，没希望了。
入选奖成绩公布时，我就想快叫我吧，拿到了就安心了。
倒数中...
我没在入选名单内？
我进了10大，3强？
最后，三等的最后一个名字念到我了？
我不是在做梦吧？
我傻了。
真的，很久很久很久没拿大奖了。心里也好想拿奖，谁比赛不想得奖？入围就是肯定是说来安慰人的。
可是每次都被评得很糟，每次被评都好想哭。不是因为被批评而哭，是因为努力又再一次被否决。我是个没自信的傻孩子，哪怕是一句称赞都很开心。但，不如人愿，每次抱着希望，剩下失望，自信心就在一次次中被磨得所剩无几。
因此，我特别珍惜这份三等奖，肯定。
它，就像一个强心剂一样，让我觉得庆幸自己的努力总算被人看见了，我不是浪费时间浪费纸张的。
当然，
我还不是最好的。
还有更高的荣誉和肯定等着我去进步。
书法，是一辈子的事。
我要做的，不只是写字，不只是受肯定，最重要的是推动。
在得到之余，也能将这项文化发扬，做出微薄的贡献。
这才是一个书法人应该做的事。
加油，婧婵！

I like this photo a lot. It looked so random. Thanks Ker Neng for the nice pic. :)

I am officially an adult. Happy twenty first. ="D

That's so sweet of Google!!
A big surprise when I on my chrome. :)

Speaking of my 21st this year,,,

there are really a lot of surprises around me.

I am the most blessed birthday girl today to have so many people sayang me and spoil me.

The surprises started from the first second at night. :)

My this super best friend, Fiona called me ask me to go out to the gate. I thought she asked her mom to pass me my gift and I felt paiseh to trouble her and also wondering why she couldnt just wait one more day to pass it to me when we meet. But who know when I opened my door and I saw her and her sister Joey standing in front of my gate with the bling bling Minnie hairbands on! My jaw dropped when I saw her coz she said she will only come back in the morning to celebrate my birthday and I really buy it but I was cheated. LOL First time feel so grateful to be cheated XD 

You are just too sweet. I love you and may our friendship get stronger and stronger and last forever. T_T

I am so grateful to have these sisters in my life!

 I was super happy and smile good from inner to outer.
 :)

 Fiona and I in random.

 You worth a kiss *Love and blush* :P

 Finally, it was twelve and we lighted up the candles.
1 BIG pink candle = 10 years old, 10 different colours candle = 10 years old, 1 small pink candle = 1 year old. Total up 21 years old!! *So mathematic huh*

 With the cake and the stubborn candles which is so difficult to blow.
I was so scare to get close to the spike to take photo.
*Burst out laughter*

 Make a wish.

Blow like 10 times I can die. XD

Chit chat and watched video while having the cheese cake. And the special party ended at 12.30am.

Dragged myself out of my lovely bed at around 9am to have my mee-sua-neng. *The MUST in my every birthday* I am a typical Chinese haha.

 The smiley eggs and the mee-sua.

For lunch time,

 My aunt prepared steamboat, fried dumplings, grilled red wine chicken wings, nasi beriani, rendang chicken and...

 grilled chicken chop for me!!
Every single of it are so so yummy nom nom :P

 My 21st birthday cake.
It is a simple and nice pandan cake.

 The candles.

The cake and pressies.

My lovely dad and uncle.

 My most beloved aunts.

 My dearest BFF in the world.

Blowing candles.

And cutting cake.

Unfortunately, the cake was a bit spoilt and so my dad returned the cake to the shop. 

Fortunately they paid us another more expensive cake, which is the Crepe! yay :D

And, I got another chance to make wishes.

The Crepe.

It is a bit thicker than the famous Nadeje, but it is still nice!

Now, let me present to you what I got from family and friends for my twenty first.

The earliest present which was given by my maktab gang in September. 

This was a surprise too coz they cheated us that they will only give me Apple earphone and surprisingly they gave me Beats! I use it everyday now and cherish it so much. 

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack is one of the skincare that I wanted so much! 

My aunt bought for me at a cheaper price in the airport. 

I used it few times already and I found it really diminishes my pores.

A simple yet truly meaningful and touching gift from my dear Yunying!

She recorded a video of her wishing me and singing Birthday Song and made a video using our old photos. I was really touched when I saw her talking to me. She was so near to me! Miss her so much.

 Bonita tote bag from my dearest Fiona!
She took photo of 3 totes and asked me to choose and this is the one chosen! I found this tote bag would be very useful especially when I go to practicum in the coming semester. I love this bag so much!!! Thanks darling, for the bag for the card for the surprise for everything. :")

 Last but not least, the gold necklace and gold key pendant from lovely dad!
21st always symbolize one is getting real mature and key is like a symbol that we enter adulthood and own our right to make own decision and freedom. So, I am given this. Thanks daddy I love this gift. :)

I always wanted something real big in my birthday when I was a kid. Since my birthday always in the holidays, I got no chance to celebrate with my classmate, thus I always hope to celebrate with them. I hoped to have a birthday party and even dreamed of my dad invited my favourite girl band SHE to my house and sing for me. *Daydreaming*

But now, I am easily satisfied by a simple action done as long as the kindness is there. Though sometimes I am still envy of those who have many friends to celebrate with him/her, I am still happy and contented because I am able to celebrate my birthday with my family and BFF on the real birthday itself. Those who appreciate you will celebrate with you with the real mean, so what for we ask for those physical thing and fake wishes? *I really plan not to show my birthday in Facebook anymore, start from next year perhaps?* 

My biggest hope is I could live my everyday simple yet fruitful and meaningful. My aunt said once we step into 20+, the days pass real fast and soon we will step into 30, 40 older and older. 

I really hope that I could fully use my everyday to do something right. I want to correct my laziness and be someone who pay 100% attention in everything I take part. 

I want to be braver and more independent. 

There is always an ideal model in my mindset and I could only achieve 50% of that most of the time, I must try my best to achieve 100. There is no more excuse in every mistake because nobody will pity or help you somemore since you are already an adult.

Absolutely. I am 21 years old, a big girl. :)

Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Nine : 九回时间旅行 *赞*

圣诞节，对于没有庆祝的我来说，也不过是个普通的假日。普通的假日，对于即将开学的我来说，却绝对是异常珍惜的。结论，我的整个早上花在了补眠，整个下午花在了看戏，整个晚上花在练书法。很休闲吧？:)

今天就要说《Nine:九回时间旅行》的观后感。这戏感觉不是非常高关注，但从许多评论看来都是一致好评的，所以很久之前我就下载了。可是看了前2集吧，感觉挺闷的，于是我就停止下载。假期的最后一个星期了，反正也戏荒，既然都有好评应该也不会差到哪儿，于是我忍过慢节奏的前几集，看着看着就比较进入故事了，就完全控制不到自己关电脑咯~一直紧接下一集！

不管是纠结的兔子牙，

还是灿烂笑容大白牙都好帅啊！

朴善宇Park Son-Wu (李真旭) and 朱敏英 Joo Min-Young (赵胤熙)

不能不提的 这最铁的好朋友 韩英勋医生

这戏的剧情也不好说，非常混乱，一定得全程追完才能大略明白，但仍是很混乱，但十分好看！哈哈哈。爱情戏不是主线，这戏更夹杂了亲情和友情。男主角朴善宇为了救回带着遗憾死亡的哥哥，帮哥哥完成心愿，而点燃了第一支香。谁知道他原本的善意却带他了解了许多丑陋的实情。

一开始发现哥哥的其中一个遗憾是失去了心爱的女人。帮哥哥挽留了那个女子后，却让自己的女朋友，即女主角朱敏英变成了朴敏英，毫无血缘的侄女。不伦啊~~~

哥哥复活后，看着哥哥每天心绪不宁，自己也每天憎恨着自己以为害死爸爸的崔会长，结果燃香回到20年前查探后却目睹了更痛心的真相。原来，自己千辛万苦救回来的哥哥是杀死爸爸的凶手！

一次又一次的焚香，减少了自己的寿命，最后脑癌细胞扩散，死了。

可是自己的好朋友英勋却在20年前救了自己的命，结果又活回来了。

之后为了说服20年前的哥哥自首，差点被崔会长派人杀害，然后自己救回了自己。那一段可真是刺激啊，看得眼都不会眨了~XD

最后一支香烧完了，一切回到了原点，结果善宇却被困在了20年前，也死在了20年前，回不去了。临死前给朋友英勋的那段录音很感动。“再重复的人生都一层不变成为我最真是朋友的你，我很感谢你。”是啊，当每个身边的人记忆都发生变化的时候，只有这一位朋友的世界跟着颠倒，跟着混乱，仍然很铁地陪在善宇身边。

大小善宇，还真有几分相似。哈哈。

20年前的高中生善宇一天天地，在对的决定下慢慢地长大了。少了仇恨，少了忧愁，当他又面对有脑肿瘤的时刻，或许他不再选择逃避，不再因为报复而延迟治疗，而是会选择治疗，因为这样他才会说：“我就能救活你（自己）”。他也能在雪山上救回哥哥，一切的悲剧就不会发生了。

最后一幕。善宇救回了哥哥。

很多人在网上的评论包括了救回哥哥的是大善宇，也有人说是小善宇。我认为真正的善宇只有一个，从来就只有一个，那就是小善宇。大善宇和所谓的穿越和那些穿越后女友变侄女，死而复生，被刀捅的记忆都是不存在的。大善宇只是在小善宇心中那个教他处事道理的影子。(?) 因为有他的借鉴，小善宇更理智地做好每一个选择，也在长大时成熟的年龄选择原谅了哥哥，所以伸出了兄弟情援助的手。

一切回到了最初。

如果你看了这戏，请告诉我你的想法吧？也告诉我是否我的想法吧？我需要有人跟我一起讨论剧情！

最后，这戏给我们的启示是，要珍惜当下，做出正确的决定。:)

Visiting Peranakan Mansion with lovely friends

Fetch Giraffe girl from the jetty. This was the first time for her to take ferry alone to Penang island, I felt so touched that she took risk to come and join us! Thanks :)

After having lunch, we moved to Peranakan Museum. There are a lot of furniture, clothing, antiques and collections about Baba and Nyonya being shown here to let the visitors knew more about this special community. This building was built at 19th century and once served as the residence and office of Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee (甲必丹郑景贵). Though he wasn't a Baba, his house was like a typical large Baba house with Chinese carved wood furniture, English floor tiles and so on. *referred to the official website* The entrance ticket was quite expensive, RM20/ person. Since we are students, we were given 20% discount. LOL 

The entrance.

Singapore drama 'Little Nyonya' was taken here. No wonder I felt familiar when I entered. :D

My lovely friend 1, Yee Ching. 

Lovely friend 2, Giraffe Yee Xien. :)

We, acting so lady. XD

Carrying the basket.

The dining hall. Tok-panjang.

祠堂

I felt dizzy and uncomfortable here.

Pretending playing the card.

The main staircase.

Afterwards Yee Ching drove us to Penang Road to have Cendol and Penang Laksa. The first time for me to try Penang Laksa, it was delicious though I felt weird when I first tasted it. Cendol is my all time favourite especially under this merciless hot sun!

Drove Yee Xien back to the jetty and that's the end of the lovely trip among us girls. I hope I could visit Penang the next time, such a nice place filled with special culture and travelling spot. 

Selca in the car. Hippo and Giraffe. =)

Buh-bye my girls, see you all in the last day in 2013, let's countdown together!!
