我迎接的是全新的每一天

“新的一年不算什么，只要我们有的是度过每一个全新的一天的心态”

或许是因为我也算快要结业了吧，然后自己做的计划也会在我离开大学生活后一一由我去实践。因此，这一次的感受有些微妙的变化; 我始终觉得自己的心态更加积极更充沛。这也是很平凡的小事毕竟我还处在花样年华还有社会新鲜人、菜鸟时代吧。我不否认于它，不过我非常自我肯定的是，经历了2016年的大小事件，我的思维起码更贴近现实以及成熟些来面对即将迎面而来的每一个新的一天。

即将实践的主要就是我的实习工作啦。即期待又忧虑的。不过自从经历了大学生活，我想我能够迎刃而解的。忧虑只不过是给没有做好准备的人。那是以前的我，我只能说。度过农历新年后我就会实践长达六个月的实习了，朝九晚五的工作生活，你好。

再来就是每分每刻都要拥有健康意识呢。真的是要自己以及身边的经历从而打从心里秉着这个理念。因此，平均饮食非常的重要，我知道，我和我的家人们都会一步步的去实践。

也不忘就是自己的兴趣啊。我的舞蹈班，补习班还有我的部落格呢。既然是我的热忱，我清楚知道自己会尽全力给它办到，但愿老天爷被我的毅力给感动吧（笑）

我一直哭闹着要一部智能相机原因是我真的有需要用到再加上我是一位喜欢出现在镜头前的人。奈何作为一位无收入的全职大学生，我暑假的打工费也早给我的胃消化掉了（也不忘服饰啦）。好吧，我懂该怎么做了。

还有还有，就是旅行！我们都常常纸上谈兵，不是这位时间不妥就是我不方便因为上课啊什么的。既然我都结业了，那至少一个困扰算是去除掉，所以2017年势在必行！

当然，我说的都是好的事情。我也不忘说事事并非如意的。只要我们的心态正确了，那我们的生活写照并非我们的遭遇，而是我们勇于面对困境的经历。

“我不是以前的我，如果现在我改变”

就这一刻去改变，不让悔意残留在每一天。

我们明天（年）见，祝福大家。

Humble Review: Noodle History 尹面之家 @ Stargate, Alor Setar, Kedah

"喂，我们好像很久没有吃Alor Star 的Wan Tan Mee了咧。"
"走咯，反正我也很想念一下的。"

"ON 啦! Kia, Jio 大家这星期去吃。"

"OK OK! 确定人数了我们就打给租车的问问看。"

The short yet typical conversation as above must have occurred among UUM students during campus life, I swear. In case you're unable to read Mandarin, it is about a typical student asking coursemates or friends heading to Alor Star for the well-known Wan Tan Noodle (云吞面) in the town. It is not the typical one like what we have at the hawker centre but in a restaurant, rather than selling the wan tan noodle solely, the side dishes are also a big highlight, too! Noodle History 尹面之家 is none other familiar term to Alor Star folks or perhaps UUM students for a wan tan noodle specialty house.

The signature Wan Tan Noodle

Noodle History is located at Stargate, a stone's throw away from the Tesco Stargate and SMART Tol Plaza Exit at Alor Star Selatan. It is the branch of Noodle History as the main one is located under flyover along Simpang Kuala where the local refer it as 天桥下的云吞面. 

The latter one operates at Simpang Kuala, click here to get redirected to the map. It is quite tricky to locate without the aid of GPS if you are not familiar with the traffic there. The business hour starts at 7.30pm and closed on Saturdays.

Air-conditioned dining space is definitely great to escape from the heat outside, however, al-fresco area is provided as well for the smokers' convenience.

And you know it's menu showcase time now.

Thumbs up for the crew over the menu as it is presented attractively!

Waiting hour is fair to us. We'd first got one of the signatures as starter.

Signature Wan Tan Soup (RM 5 )

The homemade dumplings are in smaller size than usual, approximately ten in a bowl. Personally I love how chewy the dumpling is or in Mandarin 有嚼劲.

Moreover, the clear soup is our favourite, too, where it is simply unstoppable scooping by some of us.

Our mains served shortly after.

Signature BBQ Pork Wan Tan Noodle (Dry/ RM 6)

Homemade noodle served with few pieces of small dumplings and cuts of choy sum, topped with char siew (BBQ stewed pork slice). The texture of the noodle is quite bouncy and not soggy. Bonus is, I don't get to experience the awful alkaline taste at all!

Char Siew is simply tantalizing, oh no!

Despite having few times of patronage previously, I still enjoy to be indulged as I personally find it quite unique over the mixture of the soy sauce that make up on the noodle. Rather than black-brown fragant sauce that commonly prepared in hawker stall back in my hometown, this is served with white-coloured which makes me recall back of the famous Sab X2 WAN TAN NOODLE in Bangkok, Thailand.

Also, if you prefer to have thick noodle, there you go for this.

BBQ Pork Wan Tan Thick Noodle (Soup/RM 6)

It taste almost similar than the earlier one with the only difference in the noodle and you have the option to have it in dry or soup one.

Opt for some fritter in your meal? There you could consider the following one.

Hakka Style Deep Fried Pork Noodle (RM 6)

Pork slices and dumplings (wan tan) both dressed in fried version on this, not to forget with cuts of steamed choy sum too.

I suppose that you are most of the times, led by your taste buds in placing an order. So, for conservative diner that still prefer the Hong Kong style wan tan mee, no worries, you could have it here as well.

Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork Wan Tan Noodle (Dry/RM 6)

Oh ya, never look down on the ladies' stomach because we still have two more signature side dishes to be served!

White Cut Chicken (Small/ RM 6)

We all love it very much as it is simply succulent together with the soy sauce.

And last one,

Signature BBQ Pork (Big/RM 12)

Another must have from us despite all of us already had some that served along with the mains.

BBQ honey sauce is the bomb which is to our own liking! Definitely a savoury one to complete your meal.

Let me end up this review by highlighting a couple of drinks prepared by them.

Longan + Wolfberries + Red Dates Tes (Hot/RM 2.50)

Being a longan lover, this is simply perfect for me as it is quite hard to get one at outside. However, it is slightly sweet. Perhaps you could request for less sweet upon your order.

Homemade Ginger Tea (Hot/ RM2.50)

Fans of ginger tea wouldn't be disappointed to have this, guaranteed! My friend who orders this says that its rich taste of ginger is apparently a good way to soothe cramp especially during menstruation.


Summary (Scaling Point: 0 - lowest; 5 - highest)
Price: 4/5 ( Reasonably priced with large portion for wan tan noodle )
Taste: 4/5 ( Thumbs up especially for wan tan noodle, dumplings and honey-stewed barbeque pork )
Dining Ambience: 3/5 ( Upgraded version of hawker centre, air-cond built in )
Vehicle Parking: 4/5 ( Ample parking lots around the shop lots )
Business Hour: 8.30am till 5pm. Opens daily. (Closed on alternate Mondays)

Cerita Kanak-Kanak

This entry is for academic purpose of course subject  SBLM 1023 INTRODUCTION TO WRITING Session A161 2016/2017

Si Tikus penyelamat Sang Ayam

Pada suatu hari petang, Sang Ayam yang berasa lapar mencari makanan di satu lapangan di halaman kampung. Sang Serigala berada dari jauh ternampak Sang Ayam itu. Sang Serigala yang berakal licik itu berbisik hatinya,"Alangkah baiknya jikalau saya dapat makan besar hari ini!"

Akalnya terus berkembang, "Apa kata saya berpura-pura mati di tepi jalan dan terus siapkan Sang Ayam itu apabila dia menghadap ke saya?" Tanpa berasa ragu, Sang Serigala terus memulakan lakonkannya di lapangan itu.

Akan tetapi, semua ini telah diperhati oleh Si Tikus yang sedang berehat di bawah satu pokok besar. Si Tikus terus dapat meneka niat Sang Serigala itu dengan lakonannya. "Aku tidak akan biarkan awak siapkan Sang Ayam, aku ingin selamatkan Sang Ayam itu!" kata Si Tikus yang berkeyakinan agak besar dalam badan yang begitu kecil. Melihatkan Sang Ayam itu semakin menghadap ke arah Sang Serigala yang berpura-pura mati itu, dalam masa yang pendek, Si Tikus yang cerdik telah mendapat satu idea yang bijak supaya Sang Ayam tidak akan dimakan oleh Sang Serigala.

Si Tikus bergegas ke hadapan Sang Ayam yang sibuk mencari makanan. "Hai, Sang Ayam, jaga-jaga persekitaran di sini," "Apa pula yang awak maksudkan, Si Tikus?" kata Sang Ayam yang agak hairan dengan kemunculan Si Tikus itu. "Jangan teruskan arah awak ke hadapan," Si Tikus berbisik di telinga Sang Ayam. "Kenapa pula? Aku lapar juga," balas Sang Ayam yang tidak faham akan bisikan Si Tikus itu.

"Awak nampak tak Sang Serigala yang berada di situ?" Si Tikus tidak sabar menunjukkan kepada Sang Ayam yang Sang Serigala yang menyandar di atas lantai. "Eh, aku tahu. Itu bukan Sang Serigala yang sudah mati? Aku baru nak menghadap ke sana!"kata Sang Ayam. "Tak, itu Sang Serigala yang masih hidup, dia hanya berpura-pura mati, dia ingin siapkan awak!" sambung pula Si Tikus.

Sang Ayam berasa sangsi terhadap kata-kata Si Tikus lalu meminta bukti yang nyata daripadanya. "Serigala yang mati akan buka mulut tetapi bukan yang tutup!" Jeritan dituju ke arah Sang Serigala oleh Si Tikus, di depan Sang Ayam. Sang Serigala terus membuka mulutnya supaya menyakinkan Sang Ayam bahawa dia sudah mati, malah penipuan bijak daripada Si Tikus ini telah berjaya menyedari Sang Ayam bahawa Sang Serigala itu masih hidup. Jika tidak, dia tidak mungkin akan membuka mulutnya setelah apa yang dijerit oleh Si Tikus itu.

Kemudian, Sang Ayam and Si Tikus meninggalkan lapangan itu secepat mungkin. Sang Ayam bersyukur dan berterima kasih kepada Si Tikus kerana kebijaksaannya telah menyelamatkan diri sendiri daripada diburu oleh Sang Serigala. Sang Ayam juga berasa salah kerana tidak percayai akan kata-kata Si Tikus pada mulanya. Si Tikus senyam dan juga berterima kasih kepada Sang Ayam kerana sudi mempercayai kata-katanya agar tidak menjadi buruan Sang Serigala.

Sang Serigala yang masih menyandar di atas lantai itu tidak tahu keadaan sebenarnya. Dia berasa hairan akan Sang Ayam yang tidak menghadap kepadanya lalu membuka mata menyedari bahawa Sang Ayam sudah meninggalkan lapangan itu.

Bak kata pepatah, kecil jangan disangka anak, besar jangan disangka bapa. Pengajaran daripada cerita ini menyampaikan mesej bahawa kita haruslah menerima pandangan ataupun cadangan yang berfaedah daripada sesiapa demi kebaikan diri sendiri.

Semoga anda mempunyai pembacaan yang menyeronok. Terima Kasih.
