February Updated


Just off from doing my things , like early morning jogging section , done my afternoon cooking , done my first chapter of taxation revision. But still have a lot of things to do. Bursting the AZ song , AlieZ and Kuzu no Hontai Opening theme song.


Slowly and slowly , I'm going to hit the target that I have set before. Getting older is not a shameless but if you've promised to yourself then you do't work it , that's a shame ! ๐Ÿ˜


By the way , I am here to summary February Update. What had February happened to me. A little bit complicated but still can handle it. I am strong ! ๐Ÿ˜

First of all , say out what I've seen in Facebook. See someone that I favourite girl , she went to Japan and visited the famous places of Kimi No Nawa. It was a wonderful land and presumptuous for me. That's why I hope I can be chosen as a participant to join a big group of Kimi No Nawa , by Kadokawa.

I hope I can win the trip , Onegaishimasu Kamisama ! ๐Ÿ˜‚❤️

Next , this is my first time move out from the college hostel and stay outside hostel. You definitely meet a lot of friends which you don't know before and now I also have no feeling that you want to know them well. All I need to do is BE MY SELF that is enough hahaha. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Everything that I use is my own stuff. No more other people things , no more borrow between each other.

One of them scolded me , ( can I consider her tone of voice is angry and unpolite ? ) she used my name to alert other roommates " If you haven't get the permission from me , don't use it ! " I was like " It's okay , never mind you are junior and as a senior , I don't fuss and dispute with a underage girl lol. "
I dislike impolite tone , please show respect and polite to me , then I will definitely show you my respect. By the way , another roommate sounds respect so never mind I can accept it. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

I realise that nowadays I not easily to get angry , but the mood will ups and downs at that time. But after 30 minutes , definitely think that " What a waste of my time and angry others is equal to angry at my own. No worth. " So my bad mood will dissipate. ๐Ÿ˜„


That week I didn't have back home due to my dad go to Kuala Lumpur and I've no choice I need to stay down to spend my weekends here. That day I woke up and had a early morning jogging section at 6:30 am and now I've used to. I watched anime and until evening time , I hanged out with my friend. Hahahahaha ๐Ÿ˜

Above was my actual situation , that night was a terrible night but I enjoy it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

By the way , I also watch anime in this month too - Yu Gi Oh Duel Monsters in English Subtitles. It becomes one of my favourite hot blooded anime. I like the battle phrases and it sounds the battle theme. I love Mutou Yugi , Yuki Judai and Fudo Yusei battle theme. It makes me start to warm up and passionate the feeling of love.❤️❤️❤️

A post shared by _JudithKhoo (@judithkhoo) on

I love Seto Kaiba , he is so handsome and arrogant and confident and he also want to protect his Blue Eyes White Dragon , Kisara ๐Ÿ’“
.
I learn the passionate about love from Yugi , never give up until the end , I feel youth and some sort like burning soul until the limit after watching these series of anime.

While Yuki Judai means that optimism for me , transform from a child to adult. Being adult isn't a easy things , we have to face the reality , maybe you will receive hurt from other people , being abuse , revenge or do negative things to other people.  He becomes a cold-blooded , lost his own direction , being not trust to other people and protect himself in a hard shell. At the same time he had forgotten his not aware of this whole time , a mustn't forget is enjoying. From my view , we can means that don't forget original primary purpose while you start your favourite things or love . ๐Ÿ˜Ž

And the last one is Fudo Yusei , he is responsible and cool. It's very different from another two main character. Like what I say , he takes care his friends well , he is a signer that committed by crimson of dragon. And know I look until half way , around 57 episodes. ๐Ÿ˜š

First season has 224 episodes , second season has 180 episodes and third season has 154 episodes. Hahaha , I really can't wait to finish the very next season until season 8. ๐Ÿ˜š

Seem like I use a lot of new words , by the way those words I learn from anime hahahaha. ๐Ÿ˜Ž


Happy Valentine to every couples , nowadays the love of teenager is too fragile. Must stay strong , There is long path way still need to experience. Easy to give up, is not a very good phenomenon. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I am writing my love novel , one of my favourite I want to make them out in my blog or even a physical book. That's my sumptuous dream. By the way , let work hard together and achieve the goal list one by one ! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ

A post shared by _JudithKhoo (@judithkhoo) on

By the way , being couple is not that easy , even I don't have a boyfriend I still know it's difficult to deal with him / her. My GOD , he will give me the best man to me. ๐Ÿ˜š I don't worry because I also don't have any free time to deal with my partner.

I need to finish all my anime , manga , comic and lightnovel & novel first , then writing novel ( Since everyone is very excited about my novel , maybe I will post it at my blog lol ) and get fit & study. Cut off my 8 hours sleeping time , I left how much hours for me to do my favourite things ? ๐Ÿ’•



The last part of this blog post. ๐Ÿ˜„
Last Saturday I had dated with my friend Shirly Wong. ๐Ÿ˜


I've my first steamboat in 2017. Hahahahaha.๐Ÿ˜‚ I love to eat lean meat and chicken breast meat nowadays.๐Ÿ˜‹
 Like an athlete we usually ingest a good protein for our body to build the muscle.
And also I treated it as birthday gathering with her hahahahaha. Hope you don't mind. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Happy Birthday in advance ! ๐ŸŽ‚


Eat healthy guys ! Hahahahahaa  ... ๐Ÿ˜†


We had a lot of discussion about our future. She will future study her psychotherapy course while I continue my accountant way hahaha. At the same we also talk about Japanese language. I still haven't decided clear whether I enroll my Japanese subject even my family members already agreed with me. ๐Ÿ˜†

We also plan to Japan if the time will not crush together.


From a beautiful and luxury food and become a mess hahahaha. ๐Ÿ˜†


I can take it but say if it doesn't pass my FRP , I am like dead fish. No , even worse than a dead fish. Maybe a dead cockroach lol. ๐Ÿ˜†


Still the sentences to myself. Happy thoughts attract happy thoughts ! A must put a smile on your face. Believe in yourself , stronger than your excuses ! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

How to improve the English

A post shared by _JudithKhoo (@judithkhoo) on

( Sorry I don't have photo to post so I direct use the Instagram Photo. Follow me if you haven't done so.  )

Hello Guys !
A lot of people ask me how I improve my English ? Guess what ? My English still consider poor okay ? Still using a lot of poor and slang English hahaha. By the way I still need to learn English. People always say : Learn until the life end. So learning is so important , you guys must not give up learning.

Back to the topic , how I improve English ?
The very first you need to learn is English grammar. It is very different from Japanese and Chinese. You must make this clear without hesitation. Back then I was so poor in grammar and now still poor ( my mum told me that when she checked my articles but now I improve a lot. )


Back to secondary school , my mum had bought me a small leaflet about the English. Seeing my friend got good result in her examination , I swear that I also wanted to manage English too. That's why it motivated me a lot. So I was referring that few leaflet and I know the concept. I start my blog back 2014 , all my articles will check by my mum before it post it to the blog. Hahahaha. Sometimes my dad also helps to check my English too. And I'm like wtf , because while he's checking and he laugh at me lol.

Then my mum say " Aiyaa , no one will care your English as long as they understand what you talking about lol. "
I was like " mum , don't be like this hahahahaahah "

Then my mum helped me check the grammar and she was headache because I was too poor back on this field , all are direct translation from Chinese. This is a mistake always made by a lot of mother tongue which is Chinese. Hahahhahahaha , my mum listed down all the grammar that I must be alert of. So now I don't repeat the mistake.

So this is how I began with my English.

Second , I have changed all my Chinese , Korean and Japanese dramas , animes and movies into English subtitles even novel also in English language too. Initially for me , is quite difficult for me to understand what it's talking about. While watching and facing the word I don't understand , refer to the dictionary and jot down the meaning in a small exercise book. I use three to four days to finish my western novel lol. I think I take a long time hahahahaha but now I can shorten my time lol.


I was forced by my elder brother back to secondary school. He downloaded all the anime in English subtitles and I also didn't know how to use website to download Chinese subtitles. I had no choice and  I love anime and I start my English subtitles anime. The very first anime I watched was Psycho-Pass , it was talking about the Psychological anime , all of the words inside were too difficult for me and every episode I really had to look for the meaning and then jot it down lol. Sound absurd but I did it.


Then I want to watch Yu Gi Oh , seeing Yuki Judai ( season two ) and Nameless Pharaoh ( season one ) really are my type of hot blooded favourite main character. Back then there was no internet or Chinese Subtitles for me to watch Yu Gi Oh and my friend recommended me a website with all of the old & new anime and I am still using it until now. I watch until Fudo Yusei ( season three ) and I can't wait to finish them because it's going to release season eight. Super excited , * ////// * (dokidoki

Then because of this , I'm lazy to find another Chinese subtitle website and I already have this website might as well watch other anime too. So all my hard disk 2000 GB plus my laptop 500 GB all are in English Subtitles.

A very simple English book for you guys to read , it was written by a Singaporean author , " Mr Midnight " & " Mr Mystery ". I think I have read all of them. And now the LIGHTNOVEL also released  English Translation , as for me , I read both Chinese and English. I learn the vocabulary from English translation but I read the content in Chinese language , hahahahahaha , because Chinese novel is much more wonderful and fantastic hahaha. ( I learn two languages at the same time )

In learning English , don't use any slang English both in written or spoken English. From the beginning , my mum urged me that , " Don't use any SLANG English while you're studying English " and I don't use any slang English like put the " lahh , eiii , whatever " But I use slang word hahahahaha , because it sounds funny lol.  But if necessary , must avoid both of them.

After you know the grammatical concept and a lot of new vocabulary , then start to construct the sentence one by one. For Asian people , we always hope that " keep it simple and short ". Yes , I do this while speaking , but I want to make my article more magnificent so I will add a little bit longer to my sentences. Hahahahaa. Then my mum teased me " See , still making the grammar mistake lol , I told you many times blah blah blah ."

For writing part , if you have followed me at Instagram and Blog , you will see that most of the post is constructed in English sentences. Keep writing will help to understand and remember the sentences structure. ( That's what my mum told me )

For English conversation with other people. I have used to type English , because one of my friend also wants to learn English might as well I also type English with her. But she always miss a lot of grammar in sentences and sometime I help her to correct it. Hahahhahaah , I just correct it but I have no confident in this field lol.

By the way , I search everything in Internet also using English , no more Chinese. For speaking , I watch US dramas with no subtitles. Initially you still have to watch the subtitles because you don't know what he / she is talking about. Western people always speak English so fast like we speak Mandarin here.

And now , because I have Snapchat and I utilize it and snap my private video in front of my handphone and speak English. Sound shy and awkward but I need to used to. My elder brother he forces me to speak English while calling him. My listening skill still need to be improve since I always watch English subtitles.

This is how I learn English , I hope it helps you guys too. Must put afford while learning a new language. I am on the way to learning Japanese Language too. Let us work hard together.

Travel Guide to Vietnam

VIETNAM GUIDE


 HOW TO TRAVEL TO VIETNAM
Airasia is the best airline for me. The quote : NOW EVERYONE CAN FLY.
Now AIRASIA can fly around the world , so everyone can buy tickets at the lowest price.
Airasia can direct access from Kuala Lumpur to Danang , Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi in Vietnam , so no worries.


TRAVEL TO LOCAL ATTRACTIVE PLACES
How to travel to local famous places. If one is possible and have time, you need to do some homework and one has small budget. Find some local agencies to help you to minimize the price. The agency you find must be trustworthy.
You can ask for their telephone or hand phone number and business card.
If you book with the hotel , they will double charge the price. That's why. 


CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE
Because it changes on daily basis , So you can check the website here. Exchange Rate
When I travel to Vietnam , sometimes they accept USD dollar for payment.
WEATHER
Vietnam has 4 seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, but different province has different climate.  This is what the tour guide told us before. The weather at the first half year , generally is hot and warm. second half year the weather will slowly turn cool and raining. So if you come on rainy season , and the people fear cold , do bring your thick warm jacket and or wind proof jacket.

WI-FI
If you travel there for one week , I recommend you buy local data. It is very convenient and also can share with other people. It is fast and good.
You can purchase at the entrance of the airport. Buy their mobile sim card and it provides 3 GB  mobile data  at the price of 5 - 6 USD dollar.

TRANSPORTATION
Vietnam is a big country , the most common transportation used is motorbike and taxi.
For taxi , they charge you according to the meter shown in the taxi. So no worries.

Also you can rent a motorbike if you intend to explore yourself. Must be careful in Vietnam as the most horrible traffic jam found here by large-scale motorbikes around.
Uber is not available here too.


FOOD 
While traveling , we can enjoy the local cuisine right there. Usually we eat Western-style meal and must try the local food there too. Even though some of the taste might be different ,still it is nice to taste the local food right ?
The appearance of food in Vietnam looks very similar , but the taste is completely different from us. Some of the food  is not acceptable by me , maybe I am not used to it.

At least I have tried the local food but I am not used to so I end up here taking western food. Or sometimes the western food is quite expensive , I skip this and substitute with porridge and beef noodles soup.
The big feature is they use a lot of herbs in the food especially the noodles soup. The herbs are very rich in antioxidant and produced fragrance ,  are very good for our health !

If you eat Western food , it might be a little bit expensive for us. Finding food is not that difficult and walk across the road , there are many options to choose. MUST TRY !!! Enjoy the local food , the price is cheap ! Just like ordinary food sold beside the streets.
DRINK
When come to Vietnam , you must try the local coffee. I am a coffee lover ! Their coffee is really fragrant in smell , rich and very mellow too. The  volume of the local coffee sold is only 1/4 volume filled in the glass. It is very unique and special. one really has to sip slowly to get the real coffee taste.
You can buy the coffee as the souvenir to the friend who loves coffee a lot.

They sit on short chairs and  even the tables are also short. I see them really enjoying themselves relaxing along the road sides from evening till midnight. I am so shocked about this , kindly be reminded if you can't sleep in on environment , don't book hotel near to the streets.


ENJOY THE LOCAL SCENES
In DANANG , there is a beautiful local beach . The water is crystal clear, windy and air is fresh.
In Ho Chi Minh , there are historical and antique buildings whereas in Hanoi one can feel the real nature like at Halong Bay and SAPA.

LANGUAGE 
The Vietnam people speak Vietnamese , sometimes they don't even understand what we say. I encourage do some name of the food before you go to Vietnam , try to do some homework. Some simple phrases like food - porridge , mineral water and so on.  I use google translation but sometimes it will be different in meaning.

POWER
Normally they use two plug-in socket types that which is also the same in Taiwan. But they do provide three plug-in socket type. So no worries.

SAFETY
Vietnam is a safe country to visit.
Please be careful when you are walking across the roads. There are many motorbikes on the road. If you want to cross , just go ahead and don't stop or turn back even you see the motorbikes are coming behind you as this will cause accidents to occur. Instead they will slow down and let the pedestrian walk across first.Do not leave your valuables unattended. You must take care of your belongings. Sometime thieves will snatch your bag.


I am writing the blog post traveling to DaNang like Hoi An , Hue , Bana Hills ; Hanoi like Halong bay and Mai Cau and Ho Chi Minh. Stay tune !!!

THE LEGEND OF Chinese New Year



Zodiac is pointing to the Year of the Rooster

*** Shoot at PAVILION


My friend's house decoration ┗|∵|┓

Judith Khoo say hello to everyone !  ♥ ♥ ♥


Hello everyone ! (*´∀`)~♥

Happy Chinese New Year !Everyone is happy and meet with their long time no see friends. I'm also the one too !


So guys I am here to tell you guys something about THE LEGEND OF THE BEAST NAMED NIAN.

Actually it sounds interesting. I know this story since young. Maybe not a lot of people know this , that's why I want to share with you guys !

A long time ago , there was a terrifying monster called NIAN. At the end of every year , he would woke up to eat people.

The village would took the whole family to the mountain to hide from NIAN being eaten.

One year , before the event was to occur , an old man visited the village. The old man informed them.
" The beast is easily scared. He doesn't like the red colour , he also fears loud sounds and creatures. Tonight , spread red across the village. Hang red signs on the door , make loud sounds or noises with drums , music and fireworks. To protect your children , give them face masks and lanterns in order to protect them. "

The villagers did as the old man instructed.
The next day , the villagers played the drums and music , burnt the fireworks when NIAN came to the village. When NIAN heard the loud noises and saw the red colour , he was suffering and run away from the village.

From that day , on the day before NIAN was about to wake up , the villages will hang a lots ofred decoration in their house and filled the streets with music , loud drums and fireworks all the day long to scare off NIAN,

That's why it can be explained the streets full of bright red decoration , people are wearing red clothes.


There are two main reasons to celebrate Chinese New Year , which are to celebrate a year of hard works of people , have a good rest and relax with family and also to wish for a lucky and prosperous coming year.

Chinese people always believe that a good start to the year will lead to a lucky year. Chinese traditionally celebrated the start of a new year of farm work and wished for a good harvest. This has now evolved to celebrate the new start of a new business year and wishing for profits and success in various vocations.

Decorating Buildings and house , streets with lucky red item. ｡:.๏พŸใƒฝ(*´∀`)๏พ‰๏พŸ.:｡



RED is the main colour of Chinese New Year. We believe that the red colour will representative LUCKY meaning. Red lanterns hang on the street ; red couplets will paste on the doors , buildings are decorated with red NEW YEAR pictures depicting images of prosperity. Most of the activities is done before Chinese New Year.

Believed that wearing new clothes is a new starts and fresh hopes for the New Year. Everyone dresses well in New Year , as we know that , the red color means good luck , believed to reject all those kind of bad luck or fortune. Mostly we wear new red clothes with cheerful mood , cheer every people around us. Black may means mourning and death , that's why a lots of Chinese people thinks that this colour will not appropriate.


Chinese New Year also a time for family members gathering together , wherever they from , people will come home. The new year's eve dinner is called " REUNION DINNER " and we believed that it is the most important meal of the year.


We always sit around round tables and enjoy the food and time together. We will not talk about serious topic like " How about the work. " The topic will be quite serious and may spoil the good ambience.


This is not a traditional but most of the village will grilled chicken and grilled pork / ribs and spare ribs. One of my favorite grilled pork is from my grandfather with his awesome technical and skills and some amazing sauce.


I always use the grilled pork to cook soup , too delicious and rich flavor !



At my back yard .


Finger Licking Good ! ♡(*´∀｀*)ไบบ(*´∀｀*)♡

TANGYUAN , we eat at kalends day. Its shape and characteristics like round shape , which means reunion and being together. That's why they favored by Chinese during the New Year celebration. Lucky sayings for eating TANGYUAN.

FuChao style TangYuan.



 Cook with ginger !
Cantonese style TangYuan.



Chinese New Year Lion Dance. This activity will be arranged during the festival.


Fortune Fruit - Fullness and Wealth. We eat tangerines , oranges and pomelos during the Chinese New Year. They are selected because their round shapes and golden in colour. Eating and displaying them is believed that to bring the good luck and fortune due to their pronunciation and their writing.

The Chinese for oranges is ๆฉ™ , which sounds the same as the character ๆˆ , which means success.
The another tangerine Chinese character is ๆก” , contains the character of ๅ‰ , which means for luck.
For the pomelos , sounds ๆŸš , sounds like ' to have ' ๆœ‰ , or ' ๅˆ ' also.  


Giving Red Envelopes to Pass On the Best Wish.
Like the western festival Christmas , the people will exchanges the gifts during the festival. As for here , the most common gifts are red envelopes. The envelopes have money in , and it is given to children and those young who are still working plus not yet married.


The adult will be given by their employers.  Red envelopes are used in the hope of giving good luck as well as money to the receivers.


The significance of red packet is the red paper and not the money inside. The reason putting money in red envelopes is to bestow more happiness and blessings on the receivers !


 Extra Special Culture
I think it's only EAST Malaysia has this kind of culture and it's only happen in East Malaysia too. We make cakes to serve other people who visit us during the Chinese New Year . We will also go to meet and visit another friends house that long time no see especially the people who study on board.

This time most of my cakes are bought from other people. Of course , we do our cake too !


My friend , her sister always very good in making cake and cookies ! I definitely visit her and try her new cakes in day one CNY ! Every cake has different taste.


When I go and visit any of my friend house , I always hunt for cake especially CHEESE CAKE. OMG , it's yummy and delicious ! The taste is thick man. (●´ฯ‰｀●)ใ‚ž

To be concluded , I have met a lot of old friends that after form 5. The most impressive is JingYeng , she is thin and fair ! When she stand in front of me , I am so shocked about her. She slims down and get fit successfully while I look at myself , I didn't achieve my target. (°เฝ€°)


With Moh Siew Yieng , don't forget to send me the wedding invitation.


With my kindness driver EREN WONG ! She being my driver two days ! Thank you very much. Your driving skill is getting good ! (　๏พŸ∀๏พŸ) ๏พ‰♡

This is my 2017 target , I want wear a long dress that buy at few years ago. The dress is now lying at my wardrobe. Next year 2018 , I must wear it !


Happy thoughts attract happy thoughts , I kinda blessed this year. Fill yourself with positive thoughts and feelings, because where positivity exists, negativity cannot exist at the same time.

By the way , I wish you all Happy Chinese New Year and enjoy well !
