UMK Jeli the New Campus

Hello m back like finally..

was moving to my new campus at Jeli and there's no wifi was installed in my hostel so i barely can blog..

the new campus was big compared to the old one and the water was crystal clear ^^

the internet connection in the administration block was fast too!!!

you guys can viber, talkbox, whatsapp or whatever apps that you had to contact me~ hehe

overall the campus was okay, we shall just be patient abit more when all the facilities are complete..

so far m quite satisfied.. 

and we shall gladly that what we had here..

you know..

some people are just not willing to change or i would say, accept the fact that we are in JELI now..

if you are willing to change, soon you will be adapted to the new environment..

I have attended a lot of camp before, and most of the places were even worse than here..

if i can adapt to all those places, why not here right??

i will make it as a good experience -- to live in a jungle for 2 more years

in Jeli, you will have the chance to see squirrels jumping around the forest in the morning,

birds sing out loud to wake u up in a great morning everyday..

and every oxygen you inhaled is extremely fresh, 

mist all around the campus like a small Genting Highland and you will feel every cell in your skin are fully moisturizes *sorry, m sucks in expression* 

however, the weather is extremely hot sometime, especially when there's no rain..

when you walk under the hot sun, you will feel like every drop of the water in your body is evaporated every single nano second. 

so therefore, i always make sure i drink enough of water to prevent myself from dehydrated..

and always use an umbrella and long jacket so that i wont look like a negro..

i have yet to explore the whole Jeli as i really super duper busy T___________T

will blog more when i have the time..

gotta rush for my assignmentssssss now,

ciao~

Movie Review: First Love (A Little Thing Called Love)

People, I highly recommended you all to watch First Love (A Little Thing Called Love), my first Thai movie!! Omg, it's so nice, so much more better than You Are the Apple of My Eye!! It's so funny and touched!!!! 

The story is centered on a plain-looking, dark-skinned school girl named P'Nam (Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul) who is secretly in love with an older Grade 10 guy named P'Shone (Mario Maurer). Shone is a photography enthusiast and a popular student in their school. However, he is often teased by some of his schoolmates because his father didn't score the penalty kick and made their province lose in a national football cup. But that doesn't change the fact that a lot of girls in their school are going crazy over him, including Nam. However, Nam is well aware that she is not the prettiest of the bunch, but she doesn't give up easily. With help from her close girl friends, Nam tries everything to make herself more beautiful and outstanding in school, hoping that Shone would like her someday. 

(Copied from: here )

My review: It's kinda true story that almost everyone has gone through.. During high school, will you purposely pass by your crush's classroom just to peep him/her on what he/she is doing?? Will you smile happily when your crush talked to you, know your name, etc?? hahaha... Even now i also doing the same thing >.< me and the main female character are so alike, trying to develop our self by studying hard, change the way I dress so that my crush will pay attention to me, try all the methods that can make my skin fairer and fairer(of course by natural methods) and so on. Besides, you will also feel jealous when your crush treat other people nice(the same sex with you).. and maybe you will purposely try to fall down in front of your crush something like that.. Back to the movie, i rated this movie for 9 stars out of 10?? the movie is just so cute and i couldnt stop laughing when it's Teacher Inn scenes.. Overall, this movie is really good, a must watch movie =)

Let's check it out some movie scenes...

 

Look at this, from ugly duck become swan

Nine Emperor Gods Celebration 九皇爷诞

never ever thought that in Kelantan there's such a big festival -- Nine Emperor Gods celebration  (九皇爷诞). It's one of another big festivals for Buddhism after Wesak. For your information, Kelantan is an islamic state where almost 90% of the people are Malay. That's why i never thought that there's such a big event that i can have attend.

It's very easy to know when Nine Emperor Gods celebration is coming, you can judge it by referring to the weather after Mooncake Festival.. RAIN EVERYDAY!!! During the celebrations, believers will be vegetarian for 9 days and wear white shirt. Why?? Perhaps this is one of the popular tradition =) Each day will have a different ceremony..

八月三十：挂高灯、接神（若该年八月没有三十，就在八月二十九开始）

中午12时把"高灯"挂起，通知各方善信，九皇爷诞开始举行。晚上(时间由神明通过乩童指示)由主席、执委、炉主、道士、乩童、善信等人，抬著三顶辇桥，到河边迎接九皇爷。接神回来，有"下马供"的仪式(类似"开幕"的意思)，同时由道士念经、印符。

初二晚：接元帅

也是由神明通过札重指示，在某个时间去接元帅。初三、初六、初九：犒赏军兵这三天的下午开始，煮备数百桶的斋菜来拜祭，犒赏九皇爷的军兵，过后供善信进食。

初三、初六、初九：犒赏军兵

这三天的下午开始，煮备数百桶的斋菜来拜祭，犒赏九皇爷的军兵，过后供善信进食。

初八：过平安桥、过火炕

在庙前空地搭一座临时木桥，晚上7时开始，男女老幼都可上桥，道士在旁为过桥的人祈福，过了桥万事平安。约晚上8时，由乩童带领善信过火坑，赤脚踏著灼烫的火炭，以祈身体平安、洗尽霉运、消灾解难。 (善信们必须吃了10天的斋才可参加过火坑;以表诚心，而且据说过火坑时很顺利，不会有意外。)

初九：送神

这天晚上，也就是送九皇爷回銮的日子。全体善信举行大敬拜，有"送别"的意思。并有舞龙舞狮参与，善信拿着香，齐送别到河边，沿途住家也设有香案拜别。送神回来后，取下高灯，即意谓九皇爷诞的庆典的过去了。

There is a lot of version on the Nine Emperor Gods story.. but so far i think the information that i read from Wikipedia is the correct one :

The Nine Emperor Gods Jiǔ Huáng Xīng Jūn / Jiǔ Huáng Da Di (九皇星君/九皇大帝) are the nine sons manifested by Father Emperor Zhou Yu Dou Fu Yuan Jun (斗父周御國王天尊) and Mother of the Big Dipper Dou Mu Yuan Jun (斗母元君) who holds the Registrar of Life and Death. The worship of Dou Fu Yuan Jun has declined strongly as proper teachings of Taoism degenerate since being exported out of China. Today, most Nine Emperor God temples do not acknowledge the existence of Dou Fu Yuan Jun. However, Dou Fu Yuan Jun is invoked alongside Dou Mu Yuan Jun in Great Dipper Honouring known as Li Dou (禮斗) ceremonies. According To Priest Long Hua, the 35th Generation Leader of Long Shan Men Taoist Sect (Singapore), honouring the Northern Dipper stars prolongs one's life, eliminate calamities, and absolves sins and past debts of oneself and his family.

The term Ye (爺) as in Jiu Huang Ye (九皇爺) loosely translates as "Grandfather", a title worshipers commonly use to bring a more intimate relationship between themselves and the Nine Emperors. The Nine Emperor Gods should not be mixed up with the Wang Ye or Princes of the Ming rebels. Popular folk culture has it that the Nine Emperor Gods are actually sea pirates of the Ming dynasty that plotted to overthrow the Qing dynasty. According to Priest Long Hua, this information is inaccurate and considered derogatory to the actual teachings of Taoism as the Nine Emperor Gods are actually high ranking Star Lords who preside over the movement of planets and coordinate mortal Life and Death issues.

The Nine Emperors is formed by the 7 stars of the Big Dipper of the North Ursa Major (visible) and two assistant stars (invisible). When viewed closely, the arrangement of the 7 stars "the Ladle" and the 2 assistant stars on its left and right resembles a Yin-Yang pattern form.

The Nine Emperor Stars are:

1. Tan Lang Tai Xing Jun (貪狼太星君)1st Star (Visible) Bayer: α UMa
2. Ju Men Yuan Xing Jun (巨門元星君) 2nd Star (Visible) Bayer: β UMa
3. Lu Cun Zhen Xing Jun (祿存貞星君) 3rd Star (Visible) Bayer: γ UMa
4. Wen Qu Niu Xing Jun (文曲紐星君) 4th Star (Visible) Bayer: δ UMa
5. Lian Zhen Gang Xing Jun (玉廉貞綱星君) 5th Star(Visible) Bayer: ε UMa
6. Wu Qu Ji Xing Jun (武曲紀星君) 6th Star(Visible) Bayer: ζ UMa
7. Po Jun Guan Xing Jun (破軍關星君) 7th Star (Visible) Bayer: η UMa
8. Zuo Fu Da Dao Xing Jun (左輔大道星君) 8th Star (Invisible)
9. You Bi Da Dao Xing Jun (右弼大道星君) 9th Star (Invisible)

Ok, done with the introduction. Now let's move on to what's happening on that day. We joined half way of the "march" in Kota Bharu and walked about 10km?? to Pantai Cahaya Bulan to send off the Nine Emperor Gods. The journey is quite long compared to the road i always walk on Wesak day but we had fun. The Nine Emperor Gods will "dance" a while when there is a junction in the road and the child medium will keep turning.. People will just shout "siam ah (ask you to moved aside)" to let the God pass through.. Never ever block their road! As far as I know, i think they danced in the junction is because accident normally occurred in the junction, so they will just pray at there so that less accident will be happen.

While all the prayers were preparing some kind of ceremony like recite, preparing all the vege food for the God before they leave and so on.. Some of the prayers help to sell wishing light for the believers, each wishing light will cost about RM5.

After all the ceremony has been done, we called to get 24 praying sticks and pray the East, South, West and North. At 11pm sharp, they begin to burn the huge ship to release the Nine Emperor Gods back to their respective place (should be heaven).

Before the celebration ended, students of UMK have to get back to the lorry to go back to the respective hostel. The night is cold and when rain drops on our head, you can feel the frowziness plus the strong wind blowing our hair, hands and legs were just non-stop shaking but we are just hardly to move around.

Overall, we all enjoyed very much on that day and the most important is, the sincerity of us towards the Nine Emperor Gods will always be there. Amithabha.

random dream

i dream on u again for the continuous 2nd night.. the dream is so dramatic that i can actually LOL now, but at the same time i feel damn sweet too =) 

in the dream, we caught a bunch of bad people/ghost and locked them under a lockup.. but their power is too strong that they can come out from that lockup.. so we run and run and run into some temple.. inside the temple, they are not able to come in.. but i dont know why inside the temple will serve some alcoholic stuff and we are doing some experiment and guess which glasses do not contain of alcohol and drink it.. i guess 2 times wrong and i drank all of it >.< another scene is about you come and save me and give me a huge hug, telling me that you will not leave me alone and i kiss your cheek accidently.. LOL! you looked at me and smile.. *melt* 

on the other side.. some of my Rotaract friends have difficulty to choose the path, one is to join us to escape the bad thing (the ghost) and another way is to seduce by the sexy girls (ghost act).. in order to save them, i pull down my sleeve and show abit of my bra to seduce them to come inside the temple so that they will not go into the wrong road.. lmao, wat the hell am i doing -.-" well, it's dream.. 

another scene was abt my friend, he keeps on chasing me and i run and run and run, i cried out loud and tell him not to bother me anymore, i feel uneasy when he cared for me too much.. so pressured! and i told him that i just want to be friend.. den i run away!
