Rupster says "About What Is Hope"

 What Is Hope


Hope is knowing that a positive outcome awaits.

Hope is not only expecting a dream to come true,
But also having a deep assurance
That it's within your reach.

Hope is saying you can.

Hope is knowing that you can improve
And that you always get better with practice.

Hope is knowing that you can achieve your goals
 
Through hard work and persistence.

Hope is looking to the future with joy
And having an expectation of
Better things to come.

Hope is the knowledge that life is everlasting,
And that miracles happen every day.

Hope is something that never abandons you.
Even when your life is filled with
Sadness and disappointment,
A spark remains inside to help you
Get through the rough times.

Hope is one of God's greatest gifts to you,
Because it's the magic that inspires you
To keep trying, learning, loving, and living.

Rupster says "About The Not so Singapore Trip"

So off we went for the Singapore trip. Which turned out not to be so Singapore enough. The actual fact was, we all ended up camping in JB. We Arrived in JB at about 9.30 am only to realise we were not the first. Aparently some of them had already reached the day before. JB no longer has 1 house but 3 other houses as well. So all in all we have 4 houses to choose from and all of it is located in almost the same area to the extend 1 house is located opposite another house.

So we started of with breakfast at the 1st and very main house. As time passed by the crowd grew bigger and bigger. The house got more noiser. Little did we know that it was soon lunch time and we had to walk over to the opposite house for lunch. Here the crowd grew even bigger. We started to have the feel that we were all in the wedding house itself. Just that it was not complete with the tents and the traditional wedding house stuffs.

From lunch time, it was than tea time. Just before tea time, we all went back to our respective accommodation house to freshen up and get ready for the night agenda.Tea time was again back to the first house. Between all these, we all had a good time chit-chatting and catching up with so much stories. Its been a long time since the whole family gathered for a happy occasion. Everyone had so much stories to tell and share. Not forgetting it was all filled with loud laughter's.

Than we headed of to the third house for a quick dinner. It was a quick dinner for some of us as we were going over to Singapore for a short visit. After we got back from Singapore all of us just got back and slept off. Everyone were dead tired after a long day. We also had a very early morning to wake up to.

Journey to Singapore was very smooth. Though we had 5 cars following each other, everyone managed to stay together all the way. Wedding was also very beautiful. Something very different as well. And it was a great reunion for everyone! Not only to the immediate family members but also the extended family members.

Looking forward to many more happy occasions in the family =)

Rupster says "About June"

A month where the semester ends. Exams end AND its time for a HOLIDAY! But this is the month that time would fly by EXTRA faster than usual. Holidays can never be long because of that.Exams went on alright. Don't know what the outcome is going to be though. Hoping for the best! 

June has very much improved from the last 2 months. Lots of good things are happening again. The positive shine of the year is coming back *prays hard*. This was also the month that FINALLY license has been obtained after almost 6 years! hahaha..Its a very big achievement. Finally the family has a new driver to drive them around. Which they know will never say NO to them after a little brainwashing session! 

Other than that, the month was filled with the usual routines and also trips to Penang and PD. Things have got little better. Don't know if it would get back to the old times but this is something than nothing at all. 1 step at a time.

Now its JULY. A happy month with lots of things happening. Wait up for the updates =)

Till than HAPPY JULY!

Rupster says "About the Double Holiday Entry"

As promised, here is the double entry on PD and Penang.

After a very long time, a outing with Sunitha finally took place. Every time we planned, it never happened. This time we made it a point that it was going to happen. Some where in between it almost got canceled but towards the last minute things just fell in to place.

So of we went. Stayed at Bayu Beach Resort. It belonged to someone she knows. The house was fully equipped. The best part was, it was full of pillows! It was like a pillow wonderland. Their set up was also perfectly done,. Simple yet the sense of comfort was there. And of course it was facing the sea!
This was one of the many holidays that we actually cooked our own meals rather than spending money on food outside. It was fun actually. Something different. Though it was all simple but it was very much filling!

It was a very relaxing form of time out. We did everything to our pace. Slept and woke up as much as we wanted. So basically all we did was eat,sleep, go out for walks, and watched tv.

Penang was also a good time out. For the first time we flew to Pennag. We stayed in a hotel called EQ hotel. The place was good. Looked like a hostel but it was a hotel. The room and the beds were very comfortable. We traveled around by the Rapid Penang bus. It may sound scarey and tiring but the bus system there was so efficient! Its always on time and the were continuously buses coming all the time.

We did the usual stuffs that Rupster usually does in Penang.  Its time to find out for places and activities to do there. Sort of feeling bored of the same routinized activities there.  Food also we went back to mostly the same places.

We had char kuey tiow as much as we wanted. Everywhere tasted different. Some were good and some were not.  This time Rupster got to play with camera. It was learning to use it ans trying out all the different functions available.

And the journey back ended with a 4 hours bus trip back to KL=)

Rupster says "About Holidays"

Its been 2 weeks now since holidays started. PD and Penanag has been visited. Next on the list is Singapore. Not for a vacation but for a wedding.

The first 2 weeks has been busy. Was hardly at home during the day. Here and there there were things to be done. Catch time with family. Its been mostly been family for now.

The BIGGEST news of all is, license has been obtained! After so many years being driven around, now the Rupster is going to be the driver and provide taxi service. Can already see the calls coming in ;). Yet to drive yet has it takes at least a week to process the official documents. Till then its still rest time.

Things have gotten much better with God's grace. Thank God for that. It's almost back to normal. For now that's the only update for the last 2 weeks. Wait up for the PD & Penang entry soon.

Rupster says " About May 2011"

The last month of classes for this semester. Thus, all the assignments due dates were all there. Plus with the running around for final marks to see how far are we to the overall total course work and the marks needed for the finals. Most of the classes finished ahead of the planned time. So there was almost 2 week of freeness. There was still stuffs to be settled in college. So it was not really so free also.

Not a really good month. Things were not really good. So lets see what has June got for us!

Rupster says "The End of Exams"

Finally exams are done! It was not a easy one. With 3 papers in 2 days and having 1 day with 2 papers! Hopefully everything will turn out good.

This holidays will be for almost a month. So far, plans are for PD, Penang and Singapore. So lets wait and see how much fun is at all going to be!!!
