Day out to KLCC

Yesterday, my day was spent at KLCC with Wynne.. The whole day we have been experiencing water!!..

ok here goes, Once we there, we had lunch with Mommy (Kuan Nee) before we headed into Aquaria where we met Grandma ( Chin Hong) at the Entrance... a little chit chat before we headed to the touch pool area where we got to touch various aquatic animals.. ( Blue spotted ray, star fish, horseshoe crab, bamboo shark) with Uncle (Pian) watching over the place... happily molesting the sea creatures we played with the salt water at the same time

Next we proceeded to the turtle section we this time we got to molest the Hawksbill turtle at the small pool, unfortunately the green turtle do not feel it want to be molested, therefore it swam towards the furthest edge of the pool out of our reach. Then we reached to the Adopt a Turtle section ( our main objective of the day). We adopted a turtle for a life time before heading on...

We went over to the turtle feeding pool and started feeding the turtles with squid and clams but not before long, the grew tired and full so we opted to feed the bamboo sharks at the adjacent pool. Mommy was overlooking the area at the moment selling squid...

When we were at the Open Ocean section, we were just in time for the mermaid show, done by my very own 3rd year senior (Yee Leng) , she even noticed me behind the thick glass.. during her show.

After exploring Aquaria, we indulge in a double scoop gelato at Lecka-lecka ( however you spell it) before heading of to more sea water experience by watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : At World's End for a 3 hours movie.

We had our dinner after that before heading back home. haha

Open Water Diving Course - Laguna Redang Part 4 (Final)

Well well, after a number of dives and enjoying Redang Island, it has finally come to the last day of our learning course in Redang. Somehow after the 4 days there is this reluctant feeling to go home but i must return hoe as there are people waiting for my return and this for me to finish up back home.
Me and my gears..

The rest and I with my Instructor

Even though it was the last day there, it did not stop us from going out for one more final dive. We woke up early and headed out to the dive center to gear up full with energy.
The team who went out on the last dive - minus 2 other people not in the picture

After that very dive, we started taking pictures and cleaning up the "ROOM" we were bunking in for te past few days.
1, 2, 3, jump.. darn my bad timing

My instructor (Chin aka Plane Lim) and I

Right when we were done, we checked out and said our goodbye to our instructors before leaving on the 1pm boat.

So long Laguna, I'll be back for sure in the future....

Open Water Diving Course - Laguna Redang Part 3

On the 3rd day, it's the day we did the most dive... 3 dives in a row just returning back to rest a bit and get a new tank of air before heading out to another dive site.

photo shot 2

photo shot 3

That day we admit was the one that takes the most out of all of us. We were dead tired and according to Mr. Liu all of us are suffering from DCS. Ouch, i must admit the feeling is very sucky.. you will feel like a energyless shit for a while...

After my last dive however, i feel hyperactive for some reason.. filled with energy, compared to the half -dead zombie right before i the last dive.. i wonder why

having cake at Tupai Bar at the lobby

That night we played pool at the recreation center, walk around more to enjoy our last night on Redang Island..

Open Water Diving Course - Laguna Redang Part 2

We now proceed to our second day, sadly we only did one dive for the day which was early at 9am in the morning. The sea got choppy and it's dangerous for us to dive that day, so we took the time to do some relaxation and touring round Laguna.
Sunrise view from Long Beach

View from the bridge during sunrise

We got up at 6am (4 of us excluding Feli and Kristen) to have our breakfast at the workers canteen before we headed towards Long Beach to witness SUNRISE (it's beautiful). We also managed to take some pictures at More More Tea, Yeap you got it. the place where Summer Holiday was shot staring Sammy Cheng and Richie Ren.
Summer Holiday - 2

StarCruise Virgo made a stop and the Resort is soon packed with Tourist from everywhere. Nothing much .. hehe.. the fun is only at the Beach enjoying Mother Nature's Beauty..
Sun, Sea, Sand & My can of ICE LEMON TEA

Open Water Diving Course - Laguna Redang Part 1

Sorry people, it's been sometime since i got online since i got back home.. (Internet connection still not back up yet..hiah). I've been to Redang Island doing my Scuba Diving Course at Laguna Resort during the 2nd May 2007 - 5th May 2007. The place is so cool and beautiful.. not to forget the magnificent underwater beauty that surrounds you the second you drop into the sea.

After all the wait finally the time has come..

We (Bryan, Vejey, Anna and I) arrived at MPKT bus station early at 4.30am in the morning.. ahead of plan... (even the Chelsea s Liverpool match is still in extra time). From there we proceeded to the Main Gate of our University to wait for Mr. Liu (our dive instructor with over 30 years experience).
"Hiah, back here again"

From there we proceeded to Merang Jetty ( not to be confused with Marang please) which is 35 km from Kuala Terengganu. We boarded the Laguna ferry as the mode of transport to the island.Vejey, Bryan, Me, and Anna in the ferry

The very minute the boat departed off the jetty we were dead excited. one of my 3rd year senior even joined us there (Evelyn). When we reached we got off settle our details in the classroom and met our instructors that day. Settled down in the "ROOM" a bit in the sad state but at the end i find it ok.BCDs and Regulator at the storage centre

Expressing our dissatisfaction for the room .The notice board in the classroom

We did our first dive that very day. Did all our practical, my buddy was Bryan and my instructor in Chin aka Plane Lim. We did the first few basic steps. During my first drop, i was left under the sea for approximately 3-5 minutes alone because Bryan was scared of height and dare not dive in. Alone under the sea for the very first time is SCARY!!. looking up and couldn't see anyone else with all the fishes under the sea swimming around you and so called "STARING" at ya.. i couldn't help but stay motionless during the whole time.

After that dive we washed up and headed to Summer Point, the place where we had our dinner on Mr. Liu over at the next resort.. Soon after dinner we continue lessons in class and thats about it for day 1.

What I've Done

In this farewell,
There's no blood,
There's no alibi.
Cause I've drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away!

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away!

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

For What I've Done

I start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I'm forgiving what I've done.

I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na na)
What I've done.

Forgiving What I've Done.
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na na)

Dinner get together

2 nights ago, Chin and I arranged a dinner among the 3rd years, 2nd years and my batch.. for a so called last dinner get together. Although not everyone was there that night, it didn't stop us from going ahead with the plan considering the plan had to fit to everyone's availability.

So the dinner went on as planned, we went over to a new placed call Warung Mac Guyver. Sounds unique but don't worry no ones gonna jump from helicopter to another like the "Mac Guyver" on TV. It a place where they are suppose to serve "good"western food but... a bit disappointing but will do.

As usual we laughed the night long, snapping pictures to serve as memories of friendship. Here are some of the pics that were snapped that night.

Well, well.. although not the best of night, but at least it did worked out..

2007-04-10T20:37:00.000+08:00

Linkin Park's new single - What I've done

Online Videos by Veoh.com

2007-04-06T21:35:00.000+08:00

Here's what i've just found.. when surfing the net moments ago..

Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.

One should love animals.
They are so tasty.

Save water.
Shower with your girlfriend.

Love the neighbor.
But don't get caught.

Behind every successful man, there is a woman.
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.

The wise never marry,
And when they marry they become otherwise.

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.

Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.

Love is photogenic.
It needs darkness to develop.

Children in backseats cause accidents.
Accidents in backseats cause children.

"Your future depends on your dreams."
So go to sleep.

There should be a better way to start a day than
waking up every morning.

"Hard work never killed anybody."
But why take the risk?

"Work fascinates me."
I can look at it for hours!

God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.

When two's company, three's the result!

A dress is like a barbed fence. It protects the
premises without restricting the view.

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget.
The more you forget, the less you know.
So why bother to learn.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Life turning shitty..... AGAIN.

Well well, as the finals are fast approaching round the corner, my stress and pressure level is steadily building up as time passes by.... Sad to say I'm not too prepared myself yet.. Too many things have turned up over the past few days which have been pretty bothering. i can't stop thinking about all this mess that turned up all on the WRONG TIME!!!

As stress and pressure heats up (everyone else as well), tempers began to flare, fight going around, criticizing and stabbing can be heard from all the way around the University. Why does this always happen? I would certainly want to know why! Can't people be more understanding at times or trusty at times? I began to wonder again....

Then again not everyone up here are bad, there are those who i turned to for advice and ideas. They are the ones that filled my life up here, they put themselves in the situation to assist in anyway regardless how much contribution they may give.

As for me, I've been helping out everyone as much as i can according to my capabilities and health conditions considering I ALWAYS seem to get sick up here due to many factors.
Among the factors include weather shift, stressed, pressured, study, over time, work, friends and etc. i feel i tried my best to assist everyone I'm able too but too many things turned up at the same time, and i ONLY have a pair of hands and a brain which permits me to perform one task at a time only.

Sometimes i just can't live up to others expectation from me, HELLO!! I'm human you know! i need as much rest as everyone needs as well. So please be a bit understanding and patient as i find my way to help everyone out. By helping everybody out, I'm not even expecting anything in return. All i want is some consideration and understanding on my part. Thats all i seeks. I hate being used as a tool by anyone. I can share what i know to help out.

Complains complains.... even i am getting tired of my own complains as i think most of you after reading this. Guess what? I've got no choice but to swallow every criticisms and shit on me and just let things go.. It's hard to do OK people.. i just do not want to see things get worse around here.

As for a certain somebody, i will keep what i have promised you in your blog earlier this year. You can count on me.

If Everyone Cared


From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I'm alive

[CHORUS]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I'm alive
Singing Amen I'm alive

[CHORUS (X2)]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

Family Day

Water Recreation Club had a "Family Day" or "Carnival Day" 2 weeks back. Being one of the committee members of the event ( Game coordinator). We started off the night before the event by staying over night at the beach to set up the necessary equipments and adjustment for the event. We started by dividing our jobs and starting up a mini campfire. After doing so, some of us tested out some of the games we are playing the next day.

After all the fun, we grew tired and some us feel like going back to our beds, but only through the campus way which is locked and prohibiter. We collectively decided for Ops. Mangrove 2. We crawled back, and manged to get back to our beds.

By morning we were all ready for the special event, but the worse thing struck.... no one was to be seen at 8.00 am. By 9.15.am, we only had 25 people around including seniors, so we started off none the less.

We played dodge-ball, beach soccer, kayaking and water balloon fight during the event. Even though it did not turned out to be expected but at least it least it served it's purpose of making everyone who attended the event having fun.

Life
(before translation to French, original copy of my work)

Every time i look up into the stars filled sky,

The world that i dream of has no fighting, with peaceful days

but in reality, each day is a trap.

Gone were the days filled with joy and happiness that were once part of me.

If it's destiny that I'll leave behind this days.

That i have fought till the end of sorrow

I went to the end of the world

So i can change my life

I want to life the present, rather than cry and dwell about the past

Life Goes On

As long I'm still alive

*Please understand that this does not refer to me, it's just my work for my French assignment

Aquatic Invertebrate class Last week.

Last week our Invertebrate Lab Class is on the topic of Class - Crustaceans which involves animals with a hard outer shell layer such as Crabs, Prawns, Lobsters, Cray-fish and others. So In the lab we were given a crab and prawn a group each to be dissected/opened before sketching their anatomy and finish up the report which will by due in this week. Minus the Fishy smell, it was a fun lab session.

What happens when you play too much computer games?

Here i'll show you now from the after effects of playing ANY computer came over night without sleeping at all. Regardless of the game you play, seating in one position and straining your eyes for over 6 hours without stop, rest or sleep within th period will cause you severe headache, drowsiness, red eyes, and lost of concentration of all this that are around you. Below are the prove of my prove of results.

Life is Crazy

Currently my life up here is a mess or almost there. I'm in a pretty bad patch at the moment where I've completely ran out of ideas to solve all this problems. To make matters worse all this are happening almost simultaneously one after another or two or more at the very same time. No matter how much i try to manage my time, or to remain calm, somehow it's just not happening. Although I've stand and endure most of it already, but my mind feels like shutting down at this very moment when the end is just a few days away. I feel mentally and physically sapped to the max ( playing dota to release stress is not helping one bit).

Although I'm this much of stress and problems, i still can't stop myself from helping others of their problems. However something just popped up in my head recently, can i be in a position to help others when i can't even help myself? Till date i have yet to find my answer. Some problems just seem to grow bigger as they are left unattended but i am unable to do anything about it as i have yet to find the solution.

Who should i turn to? Actually up here, I've yet to find anyone as I'm not too sure if they want to know or even bother with it. I'm being pressured to perform when I'm needed, but at this very moment i can say i WILL not be able to as i am at one of my low points. My mind is dying out.... I'm too stressed of all my work and responsibilities at the moment. Some unwanted stress is building and there are some who does not concern or have anything to do with me from the start have been directed to me even though I'm as lost as everyone else.

All i wish now is for the time to fly by, ans hopefully along with everything else so that i can have at least a well deserved good night sleep without any worries and knowing someone up here is willing to support or watch my back. At least by the end of this week, i will be 70% more relieved that the pass 2 weeks of horror.

Am praying that all this troublesome events will just end well when the time comes... i believe i deserve a good rest after all that i have endured...................

"Chap Goh Meh" Terengganu Family Dinner

It was the last day/night of Chinese New Year, the 15th day also known as Chinese Valentines day. However like the previous and Real Valentines Day, i've got no choice but to miss it again reason being too far from home again.... sadly. To make matter worse on that very day Marine Biology lost 3-4 to Fisheries on the morning itself. That's not all , i was down with high fever right after the game as well.... look at all the amount of bad things.

During the night, my seniors, friends and I went out to have a dinner together at Ocean Restaurant in Kuala Terengganu considering all of us have to spend time away from home during this occasion. To my surprise, most of the others are having a sickness of their own. Fever, Cough and so on.

That night was quiet fun to release a bit of stress build up in everyone for the time being. We had a 6 course dinner at a reasonable price. Finally some different food compared to the usual BORING FOOD outside our hostel.

"Grandma" and "Mommy"

The Frog dish.. hehe not bad

The Fish we had that night ( don't ask me it's cooked in what or what fish is it)

During Invertebrate Lab the other day

During last week's Invertebrate Lab, we were into Phylum Mollusk - Class Bivalve which involves the Clams, Scallops, abalones and other shells. We were given a couple of shells 9 who are relatively still alive for our little task of opening it and examine it's anatomy. It took me sometime for me to be able to open it as the shells are pretty stubborn to be opened. Some of us even had a mini game or should i say race to see who is up to the task of opening the shells the fastest. Where we were there, i found out it was just an easy experiment in which all we need to is just to draw the internal anatomy of the shell which is already simple in structure.

Aquaria Trip

Recently during Chinese New Year my friends and I took a trip down to Aquaria to visit one of the few places where we may work in the near future after graduation. Best of all Aquaria is a partner with UMT what a surprise. Well our main purpose there is to seek out a part-time job hopefully during our long break in May. Since we're there, why not take a trip and have a first hand look at what i've been learning or will be learning

The Sand Tiger Shark at The Open Ocean Section

The Baby Turtles in a Pond

Let me tell you, the experience in there is very different if you are studying marine biology compared to that of a normal visitor in Aquaria. We do not identify marine life like a normal visitor but we as future marine biologist identify them even more in detail than the usual.

I've just sent over my resume to Sze Mun ( Anna's friend who is working in Aquaria to hand it in for us) yesterday. Now all i can do is hope for the best. Even in the event that i am not employed as least what i wish is for that i can do my Industrial Training over there.

Sampling

Back in time, 2 weeks before we all returned home we had a sampling trip to UMT beach to collect samples for Invertebrate class. Fist off we headed out to the beach to collect samples by the shore. We collect sand and sieve them to uncover various organisms according to size and class. After collecting our samples, we headed out to the Mengabang on a small boat to collect soil sediments using an Ekman Grab. Due to it's size, only 4 of us out of 8 of us went on the ride. Fuad, Vejey, Nurin and I went out with me rowing the boat towards the centre to collect samples. It was fun getting all wet, dirty and smelly ( Mengabang water). Here are some takes of that day.

Carling Cup Final: Arsenal 1:2 Chelsea

Arsenal didn't deserve to lose the match that way last night, even though a lost is a lost but the referee made some pretty harsh an inaccurate decision that killed the game..It started off so well for Arsenal's young guns with pure control of the game over multi million pound Chelsea Squad in the first 25 minutes with Walcott scoring his first professional Arsenal goal.

It was all going Arsenal's way until it all began to go against Arsenal's way, first came the equalizer from Drogba at the half hour mark which was clearly offside but the linesmen flag stayed down. It was pure bad luck i must say. As they returned from the break, things begin to turn even more sour, Diaby hit Terry straight in the jaw as he attempt a clearance knocking him out cold for a long period of time. Being worried over the accident, he could no longer be in the right mind frame to continue on the game as that incident also managed to get him an ankle injury and was replaced by Hleb. Soon afterwards Armand Traore was also substituted off with Eboue coming in from him and Aliadiere was replaced by Adebayor. Hoyte had to play on with an injury as all substitutions are made.

Soon after, Drogba's glancing head flew into the bottom of the far post putting Chelsea in front on the 82nd minute. Arsenal tried to continue on with the game but with Chelsea time wasting and theatrically nonsense it was hard to do. What would be night of football turned bitter when Kolo Toure was caught in brawl with Mikel Obi of Chelsea which cause a major havoc on the field. Being fair both players were also sent off, but the unfair part was Adebayor was sent off as well when Lampard( Chelsea) who did much in the brawl was on given a yellow card.

With Arsenal only down to 9 man against Chelsea's 10-men and the time wasted in the brawl moments ago. Luck was just not on Arsenal's side. The game ended at the Final Whistle with Chelsea lifting the Carling Cup over Arsenal's Youth Side

Tagged?

Oh i've just been tagged..(for a moment i didn't know what it means.. so sad of me)
At first i thought to myself " i got tagged? does that means i get to be "IT" the clown?"
Lol some of you may be laughing at me now...thats ok
Anyway now I've got to write 6 weird things about myself ( according to Feli who TAGGED me)
Here goes

Ever since i got here (in Terengganu) i've picked up multiple nicknames from who knows how such as

Rock (from Vejey)
Seahorse (during Pulau Bidong)
Plankton (from Feli)
Orangeman (today i got it because of my shirt colour from Jessie and Hee Kai)
Turtleman (from Hwei Thieng)

I kinda find it weird if a chinese speaks to another chinese in Malay
Just one day i woke up and decided i wanted to dye my hair blue ( but it failed, my hair is too dark(black) for the blue-black colour to take effect)
I once supported Manchester United when i was a lot younger but changed my mind a year later and started supporting Arsenal up until now which is Manchester United's arch-enemy
Loves to sing but not out in public, will try to sing even though i don't know the lyrics, start humming to control if i feel like singing in the public.
Thinks too much about everything and get stressed over it, even though it may be a small matter or doesn't concerns me at all.

Thats all folks ( i got stressed thinking what to type up here actually)

BBQ at Hadri's

It's been quite sometime since I've met all of them, even better all of them at once.. Well for start I've not met Fabian for almost 2 years and Sugath for almost a year now.. Well that day was the last time i met Hadri before he left back to Australia to continue his studies. It was a night full of Banging and laughters as we catch up on old times.

Cultural Night

This event is held in Dewan Sultan Mizan in conjunction to cultural exchange program with the Prince of Songkla University from Thailand who came down to UMT( University Malaysia Terengganu) for a 5 day trip!!. This event was held to promote Malaysian and Thailand culture to the audience. I even took the initiative to skip class along with Feli and Kristen just to attend this event during the night. (we skipped Genetics, Dr. Cha's class)

We found out we did not regret one bit about it, as the experience was an eye opener especially for me, who have even yet to travel out of Malaysia or even had a plane ride... During the event, i even managed to catch a few shots with the Thai representative as well as a Thailand actress who came down along with the convoy.Feli, Haziq (backstage manager), Me and Kristen after the event

My seniors..

Do you know how does it feel to have really cool seniors? Some of you might but some of you might even not.. but let me tell you that I am thankful that i have so many cool and friendly seniors up here in KUSTEM (changing to UMT on the 1st of February officially). They are willing to help out when we need them and not to mention take time to hang out with us. We are lucky to have such nice seniors who treat us as their friends rather than juniors. They are among the coolest that i have through out my life and the best part is most of them are here in KUSTEM where everyone comes from a different background. The more we hang out together with them, the more closer we get to them. All this time we are with them had made me think and wonder, Over time they will all leave this place and continue on with their life after they graduate. We are so gonna miss their company by then. As life go on, i hope even though we may all continue on with of life and reach for the future that they will forget us juniors as i may not forget them. They played a strong part in my life in adapting up here in this barren land where all are not the same as home. We had fun with them during festive holidays and holidays when we are unable to be home.

Since we had the luxury of enjoying of seniors company, we had pledged to give the same treatment to our future juniors just as the way our seniors had shown us the way...

There are other seniors who are not within the pics here, please bear in mind that the reason is not because they are un-cool or unfriendly. They are equally as friendly and cool as the others it's just that i do not their photos with me.

New Year Countdown

Wow, it's been sometime since i blogged. Lots have happened during this time away..
I've been busy with every other thing and have done a lot of thinking as well due to the events / problems that keeps emerging and stacking up one after another. Well well let me re-cap from the time right before 2007.

We were at my 2nd years seniors house to perform new year countdown celebration among marine biologist from 1st year to the 3rd for those who stayed back and did not have a chance to return home.

This is me frying some fries (got bullied by Chin Hong (2nd year).sob sob)

This is Kuan Nee (2nd year), you bet also got bullied by Chin Hong
Vejey here is seen cutting some sausages for the steamboat later on.
This is the after effect of leaving sausages too long in the steamboat.. all bloated up

Really enjoyed that night, Thank You Seniors.

2007

Well well it's been 6 days into the year already , i had a great Christmas and New Year celebration with my closes friends and my coolest seniors... Sadly i have to spend these times away from home and YES i do miss them not to mention my friends back home as well..but don't we all (my friends and seniors)? Being that way the only ones we had was ourselves (the ones that did not return home during those special occasion) and by spending time together to celebrate those days among ourselves, (not to forget my seniors as well) I've learned a few new things and think more openly... By thinking openly, it had helped me put the homesick feeling aside and look towards the future.

"Man what am i writing here..." A new year have come and i hope this year will be better than last year and not to forget also for the years to come...

Here are some of my New Year Resolutions and wishes :-

Produce a higher cGPA
Learn to handle stress and control situations more
To give a hand and support to those around me in order to keep all of them happy
Pray that i could get a car up here

Road Trip (round Kl)

Here we go, back during the holidays on night my group of friends and I went for dinner in Bangsar at (OMG i forgot it's name) to eat Indian Banana Leaf Rice. Right after dinner, e began to start scratching our scalps trying to think of an activity. (lol always the case for us). So somehow we decided to play "Monopoly" in A&W 24 hours drive through near my house..(hehe i know that sounds stupid). We met up with Kester and Yee Chien there, somehow they too found out that playing Monopoly in A&W weird...lol. As we were about to settle down and start, Kumaran got a call from a friend to go "Zouk". So after some squabbling, we scraped our plan and proceed to "Zouk". It was a race against time to reach there before 11pm as it will be a free entrance before that.

As we got to Zouk, ( we manged to get there in time) we were given a surprise by the bouncer ( i suppose you call him that instead of "jaga"). We were not permitted to enter as we were under 21 ( Oh my gosh....malu case le)..Kumaran called his friend and even better she will only be able to bring 2 of us in..heheh so we ditched the plan.. We have a mini group meeting and decided to go for late night movies at Times Square. At least i managed to catch a glimpse of Jason Lo and Popshuvit at Zouk.

Well well what do you know, we were in luck as we found out that tickets are still available..but..hehehe.. most of us had already watched every other show and we could bot decided on a show that have yet to be watched by any of us..and again we ditched the plan...
We drove around kl without direction as we planned our next activity. We stopped by for petrol and an ice cream break.. So finally we came up with a plan...
Yeap...some of you may have guessed, it's back to plan A but luckily this time we played at Yee Chien's housee instead of A&W ... As we played and i created a few new rules to ensure my survival in the game...what do you know.. it played of handsomely with Yee Chien and I emerged as joined winner...ekekek
Next up, we played multiple rounds of twister and got cramps during the game..lol..We played on and on till 5 am before we all headed back home....what a night...well mostly spent in the car around KL..hehehe

2006-12-26T11:24:00.000+08:00

Last Week (in Summary)

Let me just summarize, besides to hearing music, meddling around with my computer, reading ‘Deception Point’ (which I’ve yet to finish yet…I know I’m slow don’t need anyone to remind me) and sleeping, I was kidnapped from my house by Kok Hong and Hadri (surprise to see him returned from Australia). We’ve manage to catch up on old times, and later on for dinner we picked up Kumaran from Sunway College for dinner (studying for his sem. Finals this week). We had our dinner at KFC (not again) Sunway. We shared our experiences (while we were away) over dinner until Kumaran notices this guy in front of us wearing this bright PINK underwear… (It was so striking that Kumaran couldn’t eat in peace). As soon we were done, Kok Hong sent Kumi back the college to continue on his reading…where we alter headed to Sunway Pyramid for some window shopping before we called it a day.

One of the night (which I’ve forgotten which day was it), I’ve decided to bake a cake for Wynne while she’s asleep. First off I took out my oven which was kept away while I’m in Terengganu. (The poor oven got outcast) Then I decided to try out the Lemon Cake Recipe. To my surprise, the cake turned out to be my first cake which did not stick to its pan (it’s a record for me) after baking.

While we were having dinner one night, Wynne managed to catch a surprising scene with the camera of Star-face (it’s one of my cat’s name, don’t ask me how it got its name. It’s a long story). Apparently this picture was taken when it was sleeping on my bed during dinner. If you take a closer look, Star-face was sleeping while smiling at the same time. First time I see a cat smile so obvious. I wonder what was he dreaming about, food as usual I suppose.

Last Sunday, I went out with Jin Vei after church (he’s my closest friend during primary school). It seriously has been a long time since we’ve seen each other and (considering we went off to study in different schools during secondary). Surprise, surprise just when I thought nothing much has changed around me while I was away for the past 2 months. He made me think again. My first word were “OMG, you’ve put on weight since the last time we met” (not a good way to start of a conversation). The last time I saw him was 2 weeks before I depart for KUSTEM in June.

Besides witnessing Arsenal turning out 3-0 winners against Tottenham in the North London Derby in the Emirates Stadium on Saturday at Pan Café (it’s the place where I used to work)..nothing much had happened since then.

Malacca Trip

On the 16^th of November 2006, Wynne and I went on a trip down to the Historic City of Malacca. It was a 3 days 2 night trip and also the first major trip we went together. We went there by bus (Transnational) which departed for Malacca from Pudu Bus Station at 11.00 am. It took us about 3 hours of bus ride down south to finally reach our destination. During the ride, I decided to send a SMS to Kok Hong, who is studying in MMU Malacca. It was suppose to be a surprise for him and in return ask him to be a tour guide…ekekek. Unfortunately the plan back fired, he informed me that he will be taking the 5.30pm bus back to KL on the very same day after his class…ish… (there goes my guide.

As we got down from the bus, we immediately took a taxi down to Aldy’s Hotel to settle our accommodation for the trip. We had a list of hotels nearby we did research on online, so Aldy’s was our first stop. Fortunately for us, there is one last room available and the place is very strategic (at the foot of St. Paul Hill).

As soon we’re done with that, our stomachs started growling(a sign of hunger.. info for those who think senget). We headed off to Mahkota Parade for lunch and to window shop as well…Once were done. We headed back for a rest.

Around 5pm, we headed to Staduy’s (however you spell it or the red building which is the church). We took our first pictures which was the white kancil(not the car) at the round-a-bout. Later we headed out to Jonker Street across the river, but unfortunately everything was closed and to add to our misery of having walked to far, it started to rain heavily and we were stranded outside a shop. Once the rain have subdued, we made a quick dash to Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant to have our dinner there. Sadly it was not the famous one…what luck this one the rice tasted like flour. We just headed back to the hotel after that… that’s all for the day.

On our 2^nd day, we took a cab to the Malacca Zoo for our very first stop. We took pictures of almost every animal (minus some like the deer and goats which all look the same to me). We spent 3 hours at the zoo, taking our time observing animal activities.

For lunch, we headed off to McD across the road before I decided to WALK to Butterfly Park which according to the MAP it was SUPPOSE to be near. To my Horror, It was a 4 km walk out of Ayer Keroh along the highway. The long walk took us about 40 minutes to finally reach there (we’re crazy I tell you, even normal tourist don’t do this. It’s all because of the MAP without any scale). Over there, I nearly killed this stupid talking bird (Mycah I think). According to the sign it can say “Hello” and “Hahaha”, and so I said hello to the bloody bird and it replied “What You Want”. Luckily it was in the cage or I will personally BBQ the bird.

From there, we headed straight back to the hotel due to rain (again). Once the rain was over, we walked to “Tan Kim Hock” shop to buy food like Durian Dodol home. Once we’re done we headed down to Jonker Street Night Market. We had Durian Cendol at one of the shops. I manage to get some cool looking stuff and a bag for Wynne in the process. And so was our day.

On our final day, we had our FREE breakfast at the bistro under the hotel and checked out after that. We headed up St. Paul Hill, Dutch Ship and Studhuy’s Church for site seeing. . Considering still have time, we took once last tour round Jonker Street again and manage to get ourselves a T-shirt each and we also manage to find the Famous Chicken Ball Rice shop but with no luck at all it has already sold out…gosh.

We took a cab to the bus station and took the 2pm bus home. It was one trip to remember and it can only get better if it’s not for the rain.

Rolling Star by Yui Horie

Translation (NOT LITERAL. Certain to change once the official lyrics are released.)

I’ve held my peace, but that time’s over.
I have to say what I want to say.
While waiting at the bus stop on the way home,
The sun sets, taking my burdens with it.

Show me your fighting pose, come on!

I saw a new world in my waking dreams,
Where peace and quiet are the way of life.
But back in reality the world is cold and harsh,
I sin and regret it each and everyday.
That’s how the days roll along…

I fall over and over but it doesn’t faze me.
I laugh at myself and get back up.
As I board the bus that’ll take me home
I gaze out the window and crack a smile.

I’m putting all my trust in you.

My dream world is my little secret club,
I lock myself inside, but my friends lift me out of it.
Reality can’t be what I want it to be…
But I’ll keep believing, though the days are lonely.

Oh yeah, yeah!
I stumble, but I pick myself up…
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Stardust falls from a Rolling Star

I want to live with a smile on my face,
But I have to give that up if I want to protect you.

Everything feels like a lie.
Not a drop of meaning in it all.
All my loving…
That’s all I’ve got in this life.

I saw a new world in my waking dreams,
Where peace and quiet are the way of life.
But back in reality the world is cold and harsh,
I sin and regret it each and everyday.
That’s how the days roll along…

Oh yeah, yeah!
I know what I’m talking about…
Oh yeah, yeah!
I stumble, but I pick myself up…
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Stardust falls from a Rolling Star!

Exactly 2 days ago, i went MidValley to do my New Year shopping, (a bit early buy considering i won't have enough time for shopping the next time I'm back from Terengganu, and you can't really buy clothings there.

I started of , say around 10 am in the morning till 4 pm evening...thats 6 hours of shopping. Pure shopping. i think i went up and down MidValley around 7 times, my legs turn jelly at the end of the day an sadly i still haven't got myself a new pair of shoes.

For the day i got myself :-

2 pair of jeans
2 collar shirts
1 soccer jersey
1 t-shirt
1 notebook cooler
1 stack of 25pcs of DVD-R
Samurai Deeper Kyo DVD full-set
Fate DVD full-set

Unfortunately i went over my budget (terrible me ) I'm going broke for no. HELP.

When i got back, the stupid notebook cooler was not working, so i had to make my way back there again yesterday to change the damn thing. This time i went there with Wyn Ne after her class. When we were there, we went window shopping.. she got herself a new pair heels and we had dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. Over there we tried the grilled pan for two, it was really filling i tell you.

Guess what? over at MidValley i came across some Malay friend from my course.. Faiz and the gang..manage to strangle Arif in the process...ekekek..

Home...finally after over 2 months in Terengganu... the time a spent away from home..
how i miss everything back here..from family, pets, friends, hang out areas and girlfriend (DUH)

As i guessed, lots have changed since i left.. from my house arrangement, friends (some turned chubby) and around the area as well.. (oh i forgot my cats as well)

As for now I'll be around for a month, will most likely be leaving on 14th night back to Terengganu for my 2nd sem. You can say i got adapted to the area already thanks to all my friends there to keep me company and put laughter and smiles on my face. Miss them too of course, hope you all have a happy holiday back home. See you people in a month's time.

Sadly the name of my uni. have changed from KUSTEM (Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia) to UMaT (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu) few days before i returned home. It's nice to hear that it got it's fully deserved full uni. status. No offense but...UMaT??? don't it sounds weird? Why? i don't know...hiah..what can i say or do...(so how? what to do? like that lor) how i wish it was Universiti Marin Malaysia!! although i know it will never happen.

Just got back from Malacca the other day, went over for holidays..it was suppose to be a surprise for Kok Hong.. but unfortunately he surprise me first..lol.. When i got there, i was just about to sit the next bus back to KL(lol well..so much for the surprise...backfired on me though)

As for now, it's been rain rain and rain..(i mean really rain not Rain (Feli and Big Sis i know what you are thinking!!). at least we still have sunshine here unlike in Terengganu where it rains non-stop with no sun at all. Monsoon season what to do?

Now i need to plan what to do for over a month, can't wait to catch up on lost times.

Homecoming!!

Once again it's time it time to go home, back to where we all come from...
the excitement of going back to our old friends, neighbours and families. The difference between the previous homecoming and this one would be :-

We've been away for a even longer period (only applies to those who stayed back during the Raya holidays)
We're gonna be home for an even longer period (approximately 1 month)
The previous was a mid-sem break and this is end of 1st sem.

how time flies... i remembered the day when i step into the hostel grounds to start of a new life in KUSTEM (now officially known as UMT!!!). Exactly 6 days from now i would be back home in PJ.

I miss everyone back there and i hope to sit down and have a good chat with everyone to catch up on lost times. This time around theres been a lot of ups and downs, bitter and sweet, blood and sweat. With this break i can finally take a deserved rest from all those and hopefully recover from any bad element before i step back in here refreshed for the 2nd sem.

I, Adam Lim would like to thank all my course mates and friends from other courses as well for thier time, smiles and friendship that i receive from all of them in the duration of the whole time i'm here!! It's been nice to meet all of you all and i wish you all have a safe journey home to your families and i'm looking foward to meeting you all again as we report back here for 2nd sem.

As for my closer friends, (you know who you all are...) i cherish the times that we all had together here, may it be bitter or sweet. I personally thank you all for your time, support, trust, ears ( for listening to my complaints), care (when i'm sick) and not to forget the most important FRIENDSHIP. I would also like to apologise for all the things that i may have done wrong and offended all of you all.

Till we meet each other again when we are all away back to our normal lifes, please take care and have a safe journey home. I will pray for all your safety and wellbeings...

Bon voyage...(French for next sem.)

Friends

No man/woman is worth your tears and the only one who is, will never make you cry. If you love someone, put their name in a circle, instead of a heart, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be at the bottom to catch them.

"Don't frown, because you never know who's falling in love with your smile!"

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them"

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." Plato

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone."

"Enthusiasm is contagious. You could start an epidemic!"

I can hear nothing but the bluish lament of the song of sorrow as I look up into the sky.
The distant wind took the gentle white twinkle away.

As I felt warmth by your side, I decided never to run away.

The crushing sound of footsteps that are possibly forgotten has not stopped the reddish rain from falling.
Emotions start pulsing with the touch of your hand.

The starlight continuously shines down onto speechless ties.

Something changes when both hands are spread open, and that is the truth.
I will open the door beside me and go wherever I want to go.

If it is the real painful truth, I’ll keep everything close to my heart without moving my eyes away.
Let’s move forward beyond the distorted barrier towards the door to the stars…

During the 1 week when i was back home!!

These pictures were taken back when i was back home for a week. Which was during the mid-semester break for my 1st semester. That day we were at Choon Keets house during that night... That night was also the night was also a small farewell gathering for Jeremy who already left back to Russia to continue his medical course.

"Pieces"

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don’t believe it makes me real
I thought it’d be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

On my own

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn’t worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It’s hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

*Post it for fun*

The sky the other day

This 2 pictures were taken from my room window back when it was a rainy day. The sky was cracking with lightning all over the sky and the roar of thunder over the night. This 2 are the only one we managed to caught with my camera. What a night it was!!!

While Andy and I were at it... 2 idiots were walking acroos in at the ground floor looking up at us... and saying out loud that we are taking picture of the moon ( for your info, the whole day the sky was covered with heavy clouds, not even the moon can shine that night). ...hiah they left me speehless..

A Night To Remember : Operation Mangrove Meteor 1

What an eventful night it was, a crazy one in fact but it will always remain in our memories in KUSTEM. Lets start it of with the trip to the nearby roti canai stall for a "yum cha" session betweeen our coursemates. Almost half of us turned up for the occasion, unfortunately seperated to 2 groups due to table problem. Somehow the workers there got me really pissed off. One questions here, can a customer join tables to fit more people? somehow it's "NO" for this case here, the thing that i'm pissed is that the way the stupid worker answer me. This "yum cha" session is to celebrate among our course before the muslims and indians go back for Deepavali and Raya celebrations. The worker said: "tak boleh join meja le, saya sudah susun baik baik, jangan angkat kamu semua duduk asing asing sahaja le tak payah susah susah pindah pun." that really ticked me back there. Gosh until i went straight and talk to the manager in charged about the situation. At least he understands. So we ended up joining 4 square tables but still not enough to fit everyone. another group just sat inside the shop.

We had fun disturbing one another, having chit-chat sessions (i must say disturbing Fuad was fun!!). As expected the service is rubbish. Roti kosong taking Aeons to arrive. Lucky i managed to get my food and drinks before i vent my anger. So i won't be consuming any workers spit (just in case). After when we are done, we planned to play crackers at the back lane moving towards the University area. Before that another group of coursemates who are playing lantern behind thier block had infomed me of the guard/purpleman activity (hostel guard) i seems that he's been doing rounding at every 10minutes interval. So about 22 of us managed to sneak over the gate and move towards the middle between the mangrove forest. this was the first time that i've actually seen the forest in the night (0020 hours). We played crackers and did stupid stuff like blowing up bottles with the crackers (Syah was the major culprit) and disturbing one another.

Suddenly Acah got a call from Matun saying that the guard is at the gate area cheacking out for cracker sounds. Some of us began to panic and start hiding while the rest of us began to think of a plan. Felicity & Kristen, who were unfortunately not with us but with the group playing lantern while celebrating Ani's Birthday messaged me stating that the purpleman had locked the gate back to hostel. With a CCTV there we have no where to turn to.

We began to sit down and discussed with 9 guys (including me) and 13 girls. Finally we decided to take a huge risk. The plan was to cut across KUSTEM and move towards INOS and climb over a metal gate which is near a guard house to KUSTEM Beach and from there we will walk along the shore line towards Tok Jembal Beach. Finally sneak in through KURZA front gate and blend with the people that are having Sahur. So we devided ourselves froups of 5's and move in heats. The first group consist of Syah, Aijeq, Balqis, Azie and I but Aijeq (my class Rep.) and I were the first ones in front, scouting the area and keeping out of Purplemans( guards in KUSTEM uniform) and CCTV.

IT was a scary experience, basically it was like in those movies where people sneak around avoiding detection infiltrating an area. Best part is both Aijeq and I passed an area without noticing one CCTV which i think have alerted the guards to do some rounds. Along the way scary trying to avoid detection. Suddenly a motorcycle sound was heard froma distance, and all of us hid behind bushes. I managed to give a hand signal to the group behind us, sending them scrambling across the road and literally dive on the grass behind some trees for shelter.

The minute we reached the gate, (i was the first one there to check out the area for guards and CCTV's) we started climbing over the gate towards the beach just like illegals.( it was so funny, Fuad complaining about jumping over the gate). Once all 22 of us was over, the main part of the story was over.... Aijeq and I gave the group a short briefing to stick together while walking because we are without any light source besides handphones. We began to walk towards Tok Jembal Beach playing more crackers and chit-chat on the way.

When we reached the beach it was already (0245 hours), we couldn't go back yet because people will only start to sahur around 0400 hours. So all of us lied down on the beach looking us at the sky which is filled with tons of stars. Some of us took the time to do some thinking, chit chat and play with more crackers. (some also fell asleep). Then it started the night show, comets began to fly by the beautiful sky. Say around 10 comets flew pass during the whole time we were there. Wishes are made by everyone but for me there is only one thing that i can only wish for...

So at 0400 hours, we began to depart the beach and move back towards our hostel, we managed to sneak our way in through Kurza gate and gathered at the canteen. Mission Accomplished!!! Some of us especially the muslims, had thier Sahur while the others began to move back into thier own rooms. What an experience it was surely a night to remember. One thing for sure it got the others who were looking out for us worried. Wished that other people like Feli, Kristen, Lutfi, Effi and the others were there along with us.....

It is very dangerous considering we are in an Islamic State where a white van will come bay to catch people during the night that they think is wrong moral wise... Thank GOD we are safe and sound. Would like to thank Kalai for staying up to wait for me in the room and not to forget Felicity and Kristen for thier concern. Sorry for getting you two worried....

Sometime now...

Whew!! it's been sometime now since i last post, it's been a busy busy 2 weeks. A lot have happened, good stuff and bad stuff as well. Various kinds of emotions and moods are felt, from jolly, happy, sad, heart-breaking and last but not least PISSED!! as well....

The week was filled with on-going stress and rush to complete all my work (it's not that i delay them) and at the same time study for test. What am i to do? Well actually nothing to be precise..
Things are getting worse by the day over here, nothing much i can do about it actually cause people here change extremely fast and when that happens most of them are for the worse (sad to say actually). With Finals looming round the corner, i just have to stay focus now to actually concentrate on my part and maybe keep myself away from the problems may it be personal or between my friends cause it's really heart-breaking and sad to actually found out what really went wrong back then.

The worse part is, I CAN'T DO A THING!!, this really hurts me actually, all this somehow it affects everyone including me but i just can't stand there to see the ongoing problem and not do anything about me. It's just not me...i can't say a thing because at times i really don't know who is on my side (besides a few that i recently expressed myself to).

How i wish i could actualy turn back time to the root of the problem and prevent it from actualyl happening....but that is just a childish dream/wish that will never ver happen. so i just have to bear with it and take action to solve it my way when the time comes.

I just need all those around me to understand and stop with this on-going civil war....thats all i wash for , people to reconcile with one another and end this matter/roblem once and for all.....

2006-09-30T11:59:00.000+08:00

Stress week ahead!!!

Oh ok the coming week is the stress week!! This is gonna be a LONG HARD week (come to think of it it's not even final exam week yet!!!). This week will be filled with presentations, assignments, reports and test!!!! Come let me just list it all down!!

TITAS presentation (Globalisation)
Oceanography presentation (oceanography)
Entrepreneurship assigment to be handed in! (Business Plan)
Oceanography assignment (Coral reef)
Aquatic Botany assignment (Aquatic macrophytes)
Cell Biology and Biochemistry lab report
Cell Biology and Biochemistry Test
Aquatic Botany Test
Entrepreneurship Test
Co-corriculum Soccer Test (Theory and Soccer Law )

OMG!! i didn't even realised that i was this much until i actually list it down right now!!! Darn it.. another week of sleepless night!! Just as always, life here is all about work and stress!! Stress level is building up again.. can't even find a proper way to actually rest around here! So far i've been sick twice already!! Stress here can ome from only 2 source which are work load and Stupid people who make your life worse only!! Hiah!! just hope that i don't fall sick again. Hate the fact that i won't be able to do anything while i'm sick and had to trouble all my friends and family members. One thing for sure is i will know who actually are the one who care and the ones that are really considered friends!!

Internet Connection!!!

Finally i manage to get internet connection (wireless) in my room. Luckily my room is just close enough to detect a single bar signal!!! Sadly it's private connection where i have to pay Rm30 a month to be able to access into it's gateway!!

At least now i will be able to access the internet whenever i'm in my room but sadly again the stupid internet service gives me 2 major headache.

The connection goes haywire most of the time. For a second you will have excellent speed and the next moment, it's so bad that it can't even load ANY page at all.
The stupid line is blocked!!!! (the 18-sx thing), so in other words i can't download ANYTHING using P2P or any other way except only by direct download!!!

By the way people, my chatterbox is currently situated right at the bottom of the page (sad huh!!) as far as i remember i've already fixed it multiple times but somehow it just likes the bottom!!! so peeps for the time being just refer down there k!!!

2006-09-17T13:25:00.000+08:00

Well...it's been a week since i got back here in KUSTEM, well 1 week just went by so fast back home... there are still loads of things that i need/want to do but didn't have the chance to actualy do so..ish... Life will resume as usual, stress level building up as usual..too much work load or assignments that needs to be completed. Quiz and test round the corner... i don't even have time to have a proper SLEEP!!!. it's been 4 nights now that i have less than 4 hour sleeps... I have to actually DO a group project ALL ALONE!!!..I'm going nuts!!! I can't just stay there and do nothing because it will affect me as well... the best part is that i a the so called grooup leader but no one tends to bother listening too.. they just do whatever they want to.. Even with the help of one of them is not sufficient to complete and rush to complete a 5 man team assignment.... How i wish i could just say "you're fired, get out of my office(group)" just ike Donald Trump!!

Luck, there wasn't any at all ever since i got back here... (except for today where i've pick up a RM1 note in front of the canteen), let me sum it all up, i chipped the spoon from the couple cup set that i just got back in Midvalley right before i was about to use it, lost my half of the "fork and spoon" that was on my phone ( i actually cried when i accept the fact i would never see it again), created a small hole on my new shirt that i wore only ONCE!!!, people walking in the room with his shoes right after i mopped the room...(don't want to say names), broke the mop that i borrowed from my friend, being blamed for the lost of my team in futsal..(It was not EVEN MY FAULT....WHY ME!!!) after all this and many MORE... how am i suppose to actually survive with all this happening in just a week!!!!

Tanjung Rambutan or Hospital Bahagia would be the next place i visit if this continues!!!

Feli's Birthday!!! (a belated post)

Well well, another of the august babies...(so am i!!!).. unfortunately we couldn't really celebrate it by going down Kuala Terangganu due to Oceanography Test...(don't want to talk about that). Sadly we COULDN"T think of any prank to play on her....ish ish!!! frustrations!!!

Well at least for what we planned last minute we got 9.0/10.0 from the Birthday Girl!!! Not bad eh... As usual... we went over to our usual hang out to have ur make shift party ..Kedai Makan PIOR (not the real name...don't really know it's actual name).. We started of by having our dinner first.. As we finished our dinner, we pulled out our suprise... THE BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!!.. (you don't want to know how hard is it to get a PROPER cake up there in Terangganu!!!)

Too bad for Andy... we couldn't really get a birthday cake for him.. (even Estehr and me don't have a cake!!)... With the cake creating the most excitement, then comes the presents we got for her... we the guys got her a silver dolphin necklace and the girls got her 2 pair of eyes (photoframes). With those 2 pair of eyes she can put our pics in it..!!!!

Luckily for us we got the cake, otherwise it would be plan B... substituting the cake with DURIANS with candles on them of course.... This was another one of those days to remember...(Yeah! i couldn't really forget the fact that we all sang "Happy Birthday" out of tune at the shop.....malu case!!!) Next up!!! will be Lesley's Birthday in October...

Our day out to KT...!!!!.

Last Firday, we went to town to do some shopping.. (Buying stuff to bring home as souvenier for friends and family... Here are some pics of cools Fruit Juices that we came across while having dinner..( Watermelon wastepaper basket, Red ant in water, Black ant in water, Apple lemon asam.. and two other more i couldn'r really remember). After trying out all of them, the owner came up with a guessing game... he will prepare a fruit juice and we are suppose to guess it's mixture/contents... (this drink is free!!!).. After trying it out, it is sweet and salty somewhat a bit...it taste familliar somehow... Finally, after some serious cracking i
remembered that it was the same one that he

offered to my mom.. (the day i first came by here) PURE BITTERGOURD with SALT!!!!!!... (yeap no bitter taste at ALL).. Well we really enjoyed our juices that time...

2006-08-22T16:16:00.000+08:00

Well, finally i've gathered enough pictures for this post...ok here we go. this was 2 days ago where we celebrated Andy's 20th birthday...Unfortunately we were unable to pull off something big due to the quiz we had during entrepreneurship class...(had to study for it ish!!)

So here we are we celebrated it at our usual hang out place...(no other options actually to have good and cheap food).. We had our dinner together all 11 of us... Andy had mee goreng pattaya.

Here comes the good part!!, right after he finished his dinner we initiate our wonderful plan made possible with the ideas we put together.. We bought 10 pieces cake and arranged them on a plate (as in pic) with an aroma candle i brought along (even i wonder why i brought it along here!!)

This is a close up view of the cakes we stacked up... Not wanting to break the traditional method... we started singging "Happy birthday to you..,Happy birthday to you....." but with a twist it gets louder and faster each time for a number of 3 times with the different names we used to calling him... (Andy, Hon Yien & KAZAF!!!!!)

Then the stuffing starts, there were terms and conditions set up before he starts eating... to his suprise the deal was that he must eat all of THEM!!! each representing our care for him..(so called le in better words), if he don't eat any one of them it means he hates one of us.... (he didn't want to eat the last one, due to the prank i played on him...nyek nyek nyek)

He looks full....(well too bad, as you can see still 4 and a half more to go!!!!) luckily for us our plan was pulled off perfectly... (him eating dinner and all before he noticed anything suspicious...ekekek)

Finally, he managed to finshed all of them (he cakes)...(good boy eh!) he felt so glad the it was all over...even managed to put a smile for us and the cam...till...

WE PULLED OUT ANOTHER SET OF CAKES!!!! yeap as you guessed 10 of them!! You should see the look on his face (shocked/panic/surprise/sad/pale/lost/happy?)
actually it was all of them add up together... This time the cakes were of better quality and BIGGER in size as well.....(so nice of us!!!)

Well unfortunately, we didn't manage to get any of the cakes down his stomach...(he will so HATE all of us!!) any more cakes he will just puke... (maybe at the site of them...lol)

To brig an end to a night of celebration and laughter.. the gals wanted us (the guys) to have a pic taken together...(bad omen i had the minute the suggestion came up).. As you guessed, i got it from him...(i was not the only one who planned for this.....WHY ME ONLY!!!! NO FAIR!!).

What fun we had back that night, now were turning our attention to the next one, Felicity....hehe we can't wait for your birthday as much as you can't wait for your birthday...
Trust me we'll have a good time...!!!

Until next time...!!!

2006-08-21T16:41:00.000+08:00

Here are some of the pictures that were taken along the way to get here (as in today, 21st of august 2006), enjoy!!

The light that shone from the sky during one lucky evening, (not so lucky for me due to the price i have to pay for a lousy nasi lemak which cost me RM5.70!!!! It is in a very small portion, so bad that even a kitten won't be full after eating the whole thing!!). Marvelous isn't it!!

Next we have here, is the ceiling of Dewan Sultan Midan (DSM) a.k.a. the Turtle Hall as it resembles the shell of a turtle when looked from above the sky... Next to it will be the view from my cubicle (not big enough to be classified as a room!!). This pic was taken during evening...

Far left will be my messy table...(even the table is so small!!!) with my laptop on it i can barely put anything else on it!.. Next here will be a sleeping ape (oops!!! Bryan i mean) during botany class.. this was taken right before he got caught by the lecturer..!!! (Ekekek... serves him right!! LOL..so mean).

My other roommate and good friend, Koh Hee Kai...(maximum blur fella...lol!!!), one of the nicest guy i've met....he'll help you out no matter what is the problem, anytime anywhere...(i'm serious!!! try him!) Although blur most of the time, he is a good person to hang out with at anytime...

The pic on the left will be specimen of Giant Clam, it was taken in the lab where it is displayed!! I just saw a live one back when i was snorkeling in Pulau Bidong.... One of those creatures to actually look out for! The pic on the right was taken during one of the lab sessions (Andy trying to get into the picture and look cute at the same time, it reminds me of animals in the wild where they stand up straight to look out for predator, the one tht looks like a weasel!!)..

Hah, this was taken during my birthday, in the restaurant where we had steamboat..... as you can see Andy still trying to act cute with those eyes and Hee Kai trying so hard not to laugh at him....(poor Hee Kai)... next to Hee Kai will be Felicity talking to Kristen ( not in pic).... what a birthday i had that day..

Here we have the pic taken during the Kayak Race during Convo. Fest. (Graduation day!!).. Organized by Marine Biology 2nd year.. Our Seniors..., we managed to bag 3rd placing during the event even though we started as underdogs the only team with mix 3 guys and 3 gals in the relay event..(others all had 6 guys).. shame on them!!!! It was a really fun and tiring day... Me and Kalai even managed to bag 2nd placing in the Individual Kayak event ( 2 ppl per kayak)... The one next to me is Adam (the malay version) my second year senior and person in charge of the event!!!!
Lastly, here we have the losing team member (Hon), don't you agree losers have to be buried!!!! LOL!! no no actually he was just buried for fun by Andy (a hobby for Andy).. Hon didn't compete in the event....(darn it, how i wish i could kick his butt and laugh in his face...EKEKEK!!!) so mean of me!!

Ok thats all for now!! hope to bring you more pictures in the near future!! Take care for now!!!

Wow... what a day that was.... this was actually the first time i'm celebrating my birthday without my usual friends and family.. ( well OBVIOUSLY i miss everyone very much), but wlong with my new found friends here i managed to adapt and enjoy a very happy birthday!! Thank you all!

The day was just not all about me but also to one of my friend (Esther) who share the same birthdaycalong with me!!!! YES, also another so called milestone for me , (celebrate my birthday together with someone who shares the same birthday as me)...(best thing is i'm older by a few hours only.....ekekekekekek)..

Ok ok.. so it the day started of at midnight (DUH!!!!) my roommates and coursemates (unfortunately the guys only...in the guys block) barged into the room (coursemates) to wish me a happy 20th birthday!!! ( my 'teens' time is over.. into the 'ties' from now on). i got shot (BB gun, stranggled and wrestled to the ground.. (OUCH!!). As usual, morning was nothing special except for the massive amount of birthday wishes (SMS) that i got!! (also another first time).. Class had to go on as usual.. ( sniff.. no annoucement that states the day as a public holiday like the Sultan of Tereangganu..) The fun really started when our last lecture was over and we decide to head over to KT for dinner!! The journey there was half by van and the other half by boat (something special)!! We went over to Astaka to do some shopping...before we met T.A.S. who came over to join us....(cool!!) He brought us to a Steamboat restaurant for dinner... ( that explains why there is a teamboat pic over on top)...

As we settled down on the table, firstly i was told to open the present the guys got for me...(wonder whats inside?) so.. sportingly i decide to open it after much presuring from everyone ( wanted to hide and open it myself actually).. true enough they GOT me!!!! As i guess it was a prank... THEY GOT ME A BIG BABY BOTTLE WITH LOADS OF BABY TOYS INSIDE AAAAAHHH.......!!!! best part was i mst take it all out and play for a minute....(sweat drops!).... As i follow thier "terms and conditions" they came out with a better one!! ( that i must somehow find a way to PUT IT ALL BACK IN!!!.. sounds easy? wait till you really do it!) and if i fail to do so..i'll have to install all the toys onto my bike and leave it there for 1 whole WEEK!!! (BULLYS!!!!) ... In a instance i hit my red button (a button with the lable PANIC on it!!) went on to figure out the right way position to place every toy back into the bottle.... Luckily for me i managed to get it all in and save my reputation a bit.. if it goes back there i'll gain fame for the WRONG reasons!!!.. Anyway the prank was good, it really got me... Thank you GUYS!!! (wait till it's my turn to play...buhahahaahha!!)

After some picture taking sessions and loads of fun and laughter (I'm the joke!!!). we finally settled down and try to catch our breath.. we started to have our feast!!! STEAMBOAT!!!!!
Never thought that i will be having steamboat on my birthday at all... (first of all, i didn't really know that steamboat exist in Terengganu). All this is possible all thanks to T.A.S. (thank you mate !!)... we had 2 diff.types of steamboat..one is the normal soup and the other is tom yam.. Not to forgot Hee Kai joined along with us!! Usually he will be the missing member as he will be with his other friends!! (thank you Kai for coming along with us!! really appreciate it!)

Well all good things have to come to an end (sniff sniff)..... as the time fly by, we finished up and really really enjoyed the meal!! We manage to get one of the restaurants worker to help us take a group picture right before we left the place back to our hostel...

It was really a night to be remembered that i had close and caring friends out here to really care for each other and help one another to adapt to this new life we are now in!!! Really appreaciate you guys (& gals) for the effort and planning you did to make this day a truely memorable and wonderful day... from the back row Andy, Felicity, Kristen, T.A.S., Lesley. front row, Hee Kai, me, Esther (burfday gal), Yee Kuen, June...... not to forget the other missing ppl who were unable to make it there for the steamboat Veejay, Kalai and Yun Sing.... THNAK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I really enjoyed it!!!! This day will be remembered by me till the very end!!

by the way please spare me, if there is any typo or grammatical error..t.q.!!!

Well, lets start of with the introduction...this where i am.....KUSTEM (Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia) in Terengganu.. off Kuala Terengganu a bit further up at Mengabang Telipot... (totally different life style that i have back then at LSPJ)!! Just imagine how much i miss my time back then or should i say back THERE in PJ!!! My Friends, Family, Pets, Food, Places of Intrest, 12PJ and most of important of then all my girlfriend, Wyn Ne!!!!!

Well this starts a new chapter of my life, well not everything here is that bad.. i've found lots of new friends and new gang members... to hang out with all of us are cool ya know.. Let me start of by introducing the the guys section, my room mates and the other a semi-roommate. As in the picture above, this is taken outside my Oceanography lab with Koh Hee Kai on the far left, Bryan after him, me and the semi-roommate Yien or where everyone prefers to call him Andy compare to his usual English name Kazaf (speak of weird names!!!) Then there is the mssing one Kalaiselvan or Kalai who is back in the room sleeping YOGA style!!! well there are cool people to know or hang out with but as usual everyone has a bit of insanity in them... most severe case would be Andy and Bryan...the usual jokers or should i say psychos... (All of us are in the same course, with Andy, Hee Kai and me the only 3 chinese guys in the whole course!!!!).
