My Teenage Life

Hi guys! As you can see I'm just a newbie here and yeah bear with me if it's kind of boring.  So... let's just start my blog by sharing my teenage life! 😉 

 I'm just an ordinary girl from Penang and of course I started my secondary school at the age of 13 but I have a kind of love-hate relationship with my school. My secondary school is the most strict school in Penang. As a girl, in the school that allows us to only grow our hair below 2 fingers of our ears for the past 5 years is kind of frustrating. However, I found it very easy to handle my hair and the funny thing is every time when my mum came to school to fetch me, she couldn't find me as the girls from our school are all in the same hairstyle which makes other people think we are like "robots". I can say my secondary school is super strict because we can't even bring liquid papers and correction tapes. I hate it when I kept writing something wrong because everyone makes mistakes right and without liquid papers or correction tapes it made my notes or works look messy. 😒 

 Well, that was the hate and here comes the love to my secondary school. My school actually concentrates students participate on curriculum which I think through curriculum, instead of social around, we can actually learn things that we can hardly find in books and that is teamwork. I was participated in Civil Defence Cadet of my school and i have no idea why I was in because my first option is St. John and the head of Curriculum told me that there's place in there so I just thought that I will just go in and make it to Form 5 and that's all. Mostly, we are practicing marching. So, here comes a little hate towards my secondary school again as they are always being bias for the past few years during Sports Day.

 The reason I'm saying this is because we always have marching competition during every year's Sports Day and even though how hard have every team tried to make it to the overall champion the prize will always given to the Prefects' Boards or Police Cadet. So, during my Form 5 year we trained a lot harder when Sports Day is reaching. No doubts, there will be ups and downs during the training yet we got closer together with the teammates. Everyone of us knows that a without team spirit, the team will never success. As unity strikes us harder and harder, in the end we finally got overall champion on our final year. 😆 I know it is a little overreacted as this is just a school's competition, what is the special thing to talk about? Actually this marks our hard work on it. This might seem only as an honor but our team generation after generation worked hard for this for almost 19 years and they never got it and now WE DID IT! I do love my team unconditionally, all of us trained hard and the memories we had will never fades. 💚

Let's jump to the next topic guys! Friends. 😊

My friends are very cute and I love them so much, of course they are all from my class. We'd knew each other since Form 1 but when all of us were in the same class last year, we got closer together. The hilariousness of them is unbearable. Look at them, don't they look cheerful and charming at the same time? They are the best people I've ever met. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, they use their own funny ways to make my day; whenever I'm in trouble, they are also the first one who steps up to help me. Unfortunately, we'd all graduated and go on our own path, most of them stays in Penang, few of us stays in KL and one of them is in Taiwan. Although we still video call in the group chat that everyone is in but sometimes we do feel sad and lonely when everyone is separated differently. 😞 I wish I can spend more quality time with everyone of them again and again, getting back together to the time when we were busy chatting in the class even though exam is approaching, feeling the stress together when SPM and together got scolded by teacher because sometimes we did not finish our work or being naughty at class. I wish my friends will always stay with me in my life no matter what because they are like gemstone that I would like to cherish it forever and selfishly not sharing them with the others. 😩 They are irreplaceable. 💕

Guys, bring me back to the good old days, PLEASE. I miss you guys badly! 

Now, we are going to go to something that everyone loves the most! Foods!

       

Meet the King of street foods, the Laksa. 

I guess no one doubt that right, the combination of sour asam and the fish base spicy soup, BOOM! This is one of the best street food that is popular in my hometown, Penang. Trust me, this little evil bowl allows me to swallow few bowls a day. I would run to the laksa store just to get a packet back home when I was small. I couldn't stand the tastiness of this laksa because it's too good! The aroma of the soup got me into a paradise that I don't want to come out forever!

Next. 

The Duck Egg Char Kuey Teow. 

First of all, Char Kuey Teow seems easy to be served but a scrumptious Char Kuey Teow still have to be honoured to Penang. Thanks to the uncles or aunties that had worked for the past few decades and presented us a dish which this is one of the reason why everybody would like to come to Penang. This is probably a dish I hope that the original taste will last forever. Just take a look at that Char Kuey Teow! Isn't it amazing?  😍 I recalled that almost everyday I will ask my mum to take away a packet for me when she passed by the store because as a Penangite I should always support Penang foods!

For sure there are still other street foods in Penang that I didn't list out because Penang has too many delicious foods to be just saying it out here. These foods are more than just foods, it is also a culture that makes every Penagites proud. The two dishes I'd listed out are my favourites as when I was small, I love it when my parents bring me to the stalls beside the hidden streets and have these amazingly scrumptious foods. Trust me guys, once you try it you'll always want to come back to Penang just to recall the tastebud again! 

I do miss everything as coming to KL by myself is quite a challenge to me because other than travelling with my friends for only a week, I had never experienced to live independently without the help from families for such a long duration. Luckily, on the first day I reached IMU on the orientation day, I'd met some amazing people and we look after each other because few of us are from the other states and I think we mix along well! I hope my FIS year will be great with them and this marks the end of my blog. Hope you guys enjoyed it! 💖

They are the peeps that I'd met from the first day of orientation!
