Meet Zeus, a blind Western Screech Owl with mesmerising starry eyes. One fine morning, Zeus was found injured on a porch in Southern California. The good Samaritan then brought it to the veterinary to be treated. Upon inspection, the veterinary ophthalmologist deemed him non-releasable as he has only about 10% of his vision and he would not be able to survive in the wild on his own. Hence, it found a new home at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California.



He was named 'Zeus' after the Greek god of thunder and sky due to his amazing eyes which appear to have twinkling 'galaxies' stored in it. Actually, Zeus is having capsular cataract and the white flecks that glisten in his eyes like stars are simply caused by clots of protein and blood pigment. His eyes are so pretty that I could stare at them all day long, don't you agree?! What do you think about Zeus? Feel free to leave your views in the comments below. Otherwise, continue staring at those eyes of Zeus. Till then, au revoir! :)

Early of this November I have listened to this amazing song sang by Lorde. It's her latest song, 'Yellow Flicker Beat' is the lead dingle from the soundtracks for Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1! Having said that, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is now in cinema! I am definitely going to watch it sooner or later, its just a matter of time. In fact, I have read all the books of the Hunger Games. Therefore I have high expectation on the Mockingjay's chapter. Although I know that movies can never be as good as the stories written in books, I just hope that they will not disappoint me. Enjoy the music video of Yellow Flicker Beat below. It is undoubtedly another great piece from Lorde. Feel free to leave your opinions in the comment box. Till then, au revoir! :)


Yellow Flicker Beat lyrics

I’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.
And the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold,
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones,
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight,
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.

And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes.
I’m done with it (ooh)

This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I’m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colours disappear
I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here
So I just try to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

I dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

And now people talk to me, I’m slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
I’m done with it (ooh)

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat

There are various things and attractions that are luring me to visit Macau as days pass by but I will just share three of the most amazing things of all time that I am aware of. First of all, it is none of the

Ruins of St. Paul. Image via plus.google.com

1.MACAU'S WORLD HERITAGE SPOTS

Being inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, the Historic Centre of Macau is the 31st desinated World Heritage site in China. There are over 20 ancient monuments and urban squares located in the heart of this city such as the eminent A-Ma Temple, St. Dominic's Church, St. Lawrence's Church, Senado Square, Ruins of St. Paul's just to name a few.

Senado Square. Image via travelvee.wordpress.com

These buildings stand as a living testimony to the co-existence and integration of western as well as eastern cultures over a remarkable chapter in history. Each and every monuments has its own unique stories and breath-taking designs. By having a chance to visit the monuments and buildings through sponsored trip organized by MGTO, I will definitely be able to understand the historical events happening in Macau, not to mention the cultural aspects underlying behind the facade of the ancient monuments and urban squares.

Next, the second thing that attracts me the most into travelling to Macau is,

The Macau Tower. Image via www.dpreview.com

2. THE MACAU TOWER

As an adrenaline junkie, I love challenges that would raise my blood pressure and cause palpitations (without resulting in heart problems). Consequently, it is not surprising that I will jot down bungee jumping off the Macau Tower in my bucket list if I were to visit Macau.

Bungee Jump. Image via boomsbeat.com

Adding icing to the cake, the bungee-jump in Macau Tower is in fact the WORLD'S HIGHEST BUNGEE JUMP, reaching an astounding 764 feet (233 meters). In addition, the bungee-jump can be done during daytime or nighttime. Both will definitely provide different sceneries but share one common thing, picturesque views.

The third thing that intrigues me to visit Macau is,

Portuguese Egg Tart. Image via portuguesefood.cu.cc

3. PORTUGUESE EGG TART

It is one of the most famous food in Macau. If you did not try the Portuguese egg tart while you were in Macau, you have clearly not visited Macau! The flaky pastry shell, with rich and sweet egg custard filling having a consistency similar to creme brulee is probably one of the most tastiest food you will ever consume in life. The caramelized top layer plays a vital role in its taste and the Portuguese egg tart is best eaten warm.

Lord Stow's Bakery located in Macau is amongst many good choices as it has gained high rating by food critics themselves! On top of that, the bakery also claims to say that they were the first to produce the first Portuguese egg tart in Asia. After hearing all that information, I am definitely going to visit Lord Stow's once I arrive Macau!

Why Should I be Sent for This Superb Opportunity

I have always wanted to learn more about Macau. Aside from the historical events and mouth-watering delicacies, I believe that Macau has more to offer. Furthermore, I have read a cornucopia of information regarding Macau and even seen lots of breath-taking pictures. Nonetheless, I do not have the opportunity to witness all the wonderful buildings and monuments before my own eyes as I am just a student whom still need to depend on my parents for my financial needs. It is true that I can ask them to fund me for a trip to Macau, but I choose not to do so as part of their hard-earned money has been used for me to study in medical school. As the saying goes,' The best way to know about a place is to be there and experience things yourself instead of listening to others' experiences. I sincerely hope that I can be given this opportunity to experience all the interesting things as well as gaining in-depth knowledge about Macau myself.

Not everybody can whistle. Even I can barely whistle, let alone a toddler! Little Spencer is attempting to whistle under his dad's request but to no avail. Although knowing that it is impossible, his incessant effort is indeed admirable. His dad then took this opportunity to record a video of the little boy trying to whistle and share it on the internet. Instead of the whistle sound, he ends up bliwing raspberries.I know how you feel Spencer. In my opinion, Spencer looks so adorable in the video! #faint. This cute boy has just made my day after studying non-stop for whole day. Thank you Spencer! Enjoy the funny video below. Fell free to share your thoughts in the comment box! Till then, au revoir! :)

Today I am going to talk a little bit about my visit at Just Want Coffee, The Factory 30 last month. It is located at Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru. Just for your information, it is quite famous amongst my university mates that practically everyone is talking about it or has been there before. We made an out of blue decision by taking a detour to this factory instead of going back to hostel on a fine Thursday noon. If you are not sure how to get to this place, use Waze, it will direct you.


The factory is not that hard to find since it is a bright humongous red building which sits in between numerous old pale industrial factories. Oh, if you thought the factory is not operating as the shutter is closed, you are wrong! The entrance is actually the small double glass door beside the shutter.

When I entered the building, I was amazed by the interior design of the factory. Everything looks so fabulous, with the classic round chairs, the shiny yellow lamps, not to mention the display items. There were lots of gurney sacks hanging on the ceiling (which look quite worrying as I fear the sacks might fall in any minute!) which probably were another decorative items and they did make the factory looked like a coffee production factory.


Noticing that the second floor offered better view of the entire factory, we requested to change our place instead since one of the tables was vacant. The place was quite crowded and customers were coming and going incessantly. After changing our place, we have to admit that the view from higher floor was indeed breath-taking. There was this photo galore for us to view the pictures of previous customers in the factory.

Overall, it was a good experience and I look forward to visit it again in future! For more information, visit facebook.com/thefactorythirty . Till then, au revoir! :)

Have you seen Taylor Swift's latest music video 'Blank Space'? It's insanely good and creepy at the same time! 'Blank Space' is one of the songs recorded by her for her fifth studio album, '1989'. It was released on Monday. 10 November 2014, as the studio album's second single, following 'Shake It Off'. In the music video, she was first portrayed as a gorgeous lady who found her true love.


Taylor's love interest was played by supermodel Sean O'Pry. Taylor Swift then turned into a jealous person after finding out that Sean texted another woman during their picnic date. Taylor furiously grabbed his mobile phone and threw it into the fountain, yelling at Sean in their mansion's library. Later, she shed mascara-coated tears while she was alone near the fireplace. In addition, she also used a golf stick to hit Sean's car and basically Sean was terrified of her. To his chagrin, Sean saw his portrait was destroyed by Taylor, his clothes were cut into pieces by her. Hence, he decided to leave Taylor and drove away frantically from the house. Taylor Swift was then being alone again, while waiting for the next 'love' (victim) to appear before her eyes.


In my opinion, this cheeky video was well recorded by director Joseph Khan and there were some funny scenes injected into the music videos. For instance, the music video is actually Taylor's concept of depicting the problem of her breaking up with so many boys does not lies on her ex-es, but herself! What do you think of Taylor Swift's Blank Space's music video? Feel free to leave comments below. Enjoy the music video! Till then, au revoir! :)



Blank Space lyrics

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Kluang Railway Station!

Kluang Rail Coffee kopitiam (at the left edge of the building)

We finally found our seats after waiting for 15 minutes. Upon settling down, we called the waiter and started ordering FOOD! Although it was just merely 1030, most of the food were SOLD OUT and we could only order Roti Bun. I was informed by my cousin that Kluang Railway kopitiam serves the best nasi lemak! But I did not get to try it #sad. Apparently, the food and beverages were quite cheap, to think that it would be nearly impossible to get it in the city area! Most of us ordered Roti Bun (butter and kaya), half-boiled telur kampung with either iced tea or coffee. I have to admit that the roti buns were simply delectable! Crispy texture of bun's skin paired perfectly well with soft bun inside which were spread with creamy butter and not-too-sweat kaya. The iced tea tasted just right and my friend who ordered coffee fell in love with it as he claimed that the taste of the coffee was so rich as if they had added few scoops of coffee powder in it. #iamnotafanofcoffee .For more information, visit kluangrailcoffee.com.my .Till then, au revoir! :)

Teh C Ais - RM1.70

Roti Bun (butter and kaya) - RM1.50

Telur Kampung - RM1.00/egg

Half way pit-stop

No, it's not natural geyser. It's just a leaked pipe. haha

The anticipated summit view. #disappointmuch

The peak of Mount Lambak. Note the transmitter behind the signboard. :(

There's this small hut built at the summit.
