A Thousand Years

The Moorish styled lights in Dubai

This would be my third post in this year, exactly after I've completed my second semester in IMU. To be honest, till this very moment, I still can't buy the idea of studying in this university. As I've always mentioned, they one and only thing that I'm happy while studying in this place is the people around me. They are the ones that brighten up my life. There are the jokers, the helpful bunch, the motivators and so much more that keep me happy. Well, its no point going into details how the university is, neither I have the time and energy to spell it out one by one. It is just too many to be described, and some are just beyond describable (the bad way, of course). So kids, if you ever thought of joining, please I beg you to apply to any other medical schools like Perdana University or best still, universities overseas.

Life's short, we should make full use of it.

Time really flies in this semester. I would say this semester is really a hell for me, owing to the fact that I spent almost half a semester preparing for IMU Cup and freshers orientation. The highlight of IMU Cup is me being a cheerleader, it was an amazing experience. I never regretted being a cheerleader, training almost everyday in the evening. As for the freshers orientation, well, it was OKAY for me, partly because IMU Cup has already started during the orientation.

Alright, cheerleading. It is the best part of the 2 months long IMU Cup. I didn't join this event just because my friends joined or whatsoever, it's not me. I really wanted to try all sorts of stuff out in my uni years, before stepping out into the real world. It was a great experience. Although it is the toughest time of the year, juggling between studies, lectures and training, I enjoyed it a lot. For at least that two months, my life revolves around studies and training. There weren't any social life for me, I skipped all the birthday gatherings, catch ups with friends just to make sure I excel in both fields. It wasn't the most pleasant time of my life. Frankly speaking, at several points, I felt like giving up both but the amazing people I met in cheer kept me striving harder and moving forward. That's what we call great friends.

All our hard work really paid off when we were crowned the champion for the cheerleading event. The moment cannot even be described just by words. The flood gates for the tears of joy in some of us just can't hold back anymore, streams and streams of tears started flowing like waterfall. Some of us were in disbelieve, asking " is this for real?" I guess we were so ecstatic that we forgot we were supposed to get down of the stage.

Enough for now, got to get myself prepared for the upcoming trips. Signing off.

Six months down the road.

2011-06-24T00:47:00.002+08:00

It has been six months since I started my life as a medical student in IMU. Well, honestly speaking, I wasn't really pleased. It wasn't my choice to go IMU, but somehow, I was forced to go IMU. I didn't go down well with the idea initially, but my hands were tied at that time. I really regretted why I didn't I take up the offer by University of New South Wales.

Six months down the road, I've seen how poorly IMU is managed. Lets start with my admission process. Firstly, IMU got my offer letter wrong, not once, but twice. Offer letter is the single most important document to a student, besides the certificate of graduation. I was offered to a wrong course. To make things worse, someone from the Admission Department phoned me up months later to ask why didn't I submit certain documents, which I have submitted earlier. Apparently they lost the documents that I have submitted in and tried to put the blame on me.

Well, that's the admission part. When I started classes and upon some comparisons with friends from other medical schools, I was pretty shocked with IMU's teaching-learning modules. I would say out of all the learning modules, only two are aided by lecturers, and the others are just on your own will. Apparently again, IMU said this is the most effective way of learning. I now see why IMU has marketed that way, because lecturer's payroll should be the largest expenditure in IMU's account. But hey, I'm not paying a small sum of money too!

So now, we speak of the lectures, which is the most value for money learning module that we have got. Although yes, most of the lecturers are experts in the content, but they simply are not expert in teaching. Firstly, they are not trained how to use powerpoint effectively. They often either chuck everything into one slide, or there is simply no sequence in the slides, which totally defeats the purpose of having powerpoint. It was a struggle for me to comprehend those powerpoint slides. Secondly, time management is something some lecturers lack of. Lecturers can cancel the morning lecture, by putting a simple reason saying he/she overslept. Where is your professionalism? Otherwise, they would drag the lecture on for another 10 or 15 minutes, which quarter of the lecture is not related to the topic concerned.

Carrying on with cancellation of classes, the Academic Affairs Department will keep you in the dark for the entire semester when it would be replaced again and only let you know the day before it, that the class would be replaced the next day. I was irked by how the way they handle all these class cancellations. To make things worse, when you try to ask the lecturers for replacement of certain cancelled sessions, they fault you for not going to other sessions. Come on, we are just asking what we are entitled for, not anything extra. What is it so hard for you to just go there, sit down and let the students to see you? Are you that busy that you don't have time for your students? Again, where is your professionalism? We might be at fault for not attending other sessions, but please if you want to scold us, please get us a room and scold us there, not somewhere so public. In addition to that, DO NOT POINT THE FINGER AT US WHEN YOU'RE SCOLDING US. You are a lecturer, not hooligan. It was so humiliating when everyone was looking at me, when I'm not wrong at all. I'm just asking what I'm entitled.

I'm stopping here as of now, I guess there is a long list of things that could be included here but it's way to long for a blog post. I guess I will stop here for now.

Driving in Malaysia for Dummies

2011-02-20T18:06:00.004+08:00

It is amazing to see how Malaysian drivers are. Generally speaking most of the drivers are OK, but there is a little fraction of drivers that create havoc in Malaysia's road. Hence, if you are a newbie or have not driven on Malaysian roads, these are the general rules that some Malaysians follow.

Traffic Light

Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of blinking green? Green light means go, blinking green means go faster and amber means go as fast as you can. It can be observed in most major roads, most of the time of the day.

No Parking/No Stopping

It is common to see the both sides of the road are painted with single or double yellow line, but what does that mean?

Here are the answers to it. If you see a single yellow line, it means parking is allowed. If you see double yellow line, it means double parking is allowed. Then you would ask, what about triple parking? Oh right, triple parking or quadruple parking is allowed when you see double yellow lines.

Random Police Checks

Malaysians, are nature lovers. We protect our environment so well that our police spend lots of time protecting trees along major roads. Police can be usually seen protecting these trees and enjoy communicating via its walkie talkie. Watch out for these nature loving police, check out what lies ahead.

Emergency Lane

Most of the highways in Malaysia are so well designed that we have a lane dedicated for emergency use. If you came across any emergency, e.g. late for meeting, did not turn off the gas stove, please use the emergency lane, at even higher speed.

Indicator Lights

If you wish to change lane, you are not legally obligated to flick your indicator lights. Just change your lane as you wish. If it feels better to turn on your indicator light, do it while you are changing your lane as turning indicator lights on before changing lane means something else. Turning on your indicator light before you switch lane means please fill up the gap.

Yellow Box

Yellow box or box junction in Malaysia carries a different meaning depending on traffic condition. If the road is highly congested, yellow box is the waiting area before the traffic ahead moves. Otherwise, the normal yellow box rule applies.

Stupidity

Emirates Business Class.

Application goes on.

Hey, now I know some people are seriously lousy in making up stories. Throughout my tenure in the recruitment division, I have heard thousands of lies and if I were to list it out one by one, I think I need a few days to compile everything.

Some of them are just so lousy that a person like me, who is pretty gullible would detect the loopholes in their lies. To be honest, I like people who are honest and direct to me, and not making up some stupid dumb stories.

I remember there was once, when I phoned up someone to ask why this particular person did not attend the interview. The person was in panic, I know because he doesn't know what to answer. I guess he randomly made up some stories and told me :

I'm not X, I'm his brother and my brother was admitted to hospital while on the way to your office because he met an accident.

I believed in that guy at first, because he sounded so real. But somehow, the later part of the conversation sold him off.

So I asked : So how is your brother now? and he answered :

It is quite serious. He's currently in the hospital now, still not awake. But my brother told me he is still interested in the job. I will call you back.

I was thinking, if it is so serious, your brother wouldn't even be able to tell you he is still interested. To make matter worse, he said I call you back. It doesn't make any sense right?

So I said : Oh okay, hope that your brother get well soon and I look forward for YOUR call.

It was somewhere around mid November, a pretty sunny day. Again, someone did not turn up for an interview. It's a she this time, falls in the majority group. I was extremely irritated by this girl.

The reply for not attending the interview was that she fell sick, so she need to rest. Over here it might sound real and you might believed it. However, this girl is so stupid to give me such reason where I can hear giggles and laughters from the background, I presume is some eateries.

Maybe she really need a total brain transplant and she is a perfect choice to define Stupidity.

Signing off.

Insights of HR Department

Venice, The Doges Palace - 2010

-Continued-

So we have interviewed some people, and the application processes goes on internally.

Seriously I do not know how some people think, respectfully, the 65% majority. Promoting themselves as outgoing, interactive and able to take up responsibilities in their resumes, I don't even see any of them from them. I am not going to put a blanket on the entire 65%, but the true fact is that most of them are not as what they have described in their resume. You would expect one university graduate to speak, at least fluent, understandable English with occasional errors. I now know why public universities in Malaysia never be able to make into World's Top 50 or even 100. How would you expect public universities in Malaysia to produce quality graduates when the graduates are sub-par graduates.

Once I heard, that graduates from local universities have entirely no problem looking for a job, and employment rate of these graduates are almost 100%. Indeed, this might seem to be a good news to both the country and the university, but upon researching further, you realise it is not the case. Companies sometimes says, that they have no choice but to take these graduates and provide them with further trainings, before they can join the company. Imagine the additional costs incurred by the company to train these candidates. In summary, companies have no choice but to take these below par graduates, and they are hired not because they are capable, but because there are no better choice in the pool of graduates.

So this is what happens most of the time if you encounter such sub-par graduates :

"You are having a conversation with graduate X in English, but graduate X replies in other language and this graduate assumes you understand it. The conversation proceeds and graduate X finds it difficult to cope and reply in English, without hesitation, graduate X tells you WAIT AH! conveniently and hangs up the phone."

This is what happens most of the time if you call a graduate, offering them a job.

There are two distinct group of graduates present currently in our society, the low self-esteemed, and the group that looks highly upon themselves. The earlier description was for the low and now comes the arrogant ones. It is always reasonable to have an expected salary in mind, you and I do have that as well.

What irks me, when you are making an offer to a graduate, regardless of local or foreign university, they turns down your offer because the salary of the job you are offering is half or even three quarters of what they are expecting. I was once told, that lecturers in local university T often tell their students that they are WORTH RM 2,800 or even RM 3,000 per month. Come on dear lecturers, your students are fresh graduates with no working experience or barely a few months of working experience, how would you expect an employer to offer your students RM2,800 per month? I do not rule out the possibility that there are employers that offer that, but majority don't. RM 3,000.00 is considered as high income range as per stipulated by Malaysian government as of 2011.

Some are worst, they often tell you that they are graduates from so and so University in UK or Australia. SO WHAT? Unless you are extremely brilliant, or else you are just as bad as some graduates I mentioned earlier.

Three Kinds of People.

2010-12-19T00:17:00.007+08:00

Hong Kong 2010, with my amazing friends.

When I was young, I was told that I would be able to see the real world only after I start working. I thought I have seen enough, hence I never believe in that. Now, I will be telling the younger ones, that you would only be able to see the real world after you start working.

I decided to take up a job after rotting at home for about three months. After some searching and contemplating, I made up my mind to work in one of the biggest contact centers in Asia, based in KL, as a recruitment associate.

The job itself is not hard, because the responsibilities you have are not that many. It might sound easy and relaxing, but the true fact is that you are working in one of the most demanding department in any corporation - the Human Resources Department. It is horrible.

Let's skip the existing staff part and jump to the massive recruitment drives that the contact center has. Since young, I'm pretty sure that each of us are taught to take interviews seriously and be punctual for interviews and I thought the same too. I assume that each of us takes it so seriously that people would not want to miss it, or even be late for it. After working for just one week, I beg to differ.

Speaking of taking interviews seriously, you will meet three kinds of people. I am not going to go further on who are they, but lets name it A (65%), B(26%) and C (7%) . The As would sound extremely enthusiastic about your job offer and ask you instantly "Interview, when?" over the phone. The Bs would at least pause momentarily and think, and usually you will get this reply "Would you mind sending me some further details to my email?" and you never get replies from them. Well, for Cs, you have a good mix of the As and the Bs, so it balances off.

So everything went on smoothly till the interview day, 30% of the As would actually turn up and the remainder will not. Going further, out of the 70%, 60% would actually prefer to be absent and not telling you, perhaps to keep you waiting, like creating some suspense over it. The 10% would usually either email you or call you and inform you, like half an hour before the interview and inform you that they have :

1. Personal Problems

2. Emergency

3. Motorcycle/Car broke down

4. Aunty passed away

5. Grandparents passed away

6. Back to hometown due to problems

7. Combination of the above, like having an emergency due to personal problems.

*They really have loads of problems, I wonder why.

The Bs will usually turn up after scheduling them for interview, but for those who never turn up, they will inform you and tell you:

1. I have better offer

2. Personal Problems

3. Someone offered me 100 bucks extra

4. I'm interested but salary too low (Which literally means you are not interested -.-)

*They think they are so great that everyone is fighting for them and pay them sky high salary.

The Cs will usually tell you that they would be coming, even you gave them a call like 2 hours before interview to remind them that there is an interview. They will add in nice things like

1. Thank you for giving me this opportunity

2. I'm so glad you called me up

3. Thanks for the reminder

4. I'll be there right on time

After confirming attendances, the Cs will not turn up for the interview. When you do a follow up, you will get reasons similar to the As.

*The group that gives you false hope the most.

Journey

2010-09-18T13:06:00.003+08:00

Singapore Airlines Business Class.

It's September people. To all, it might be just another ordinary month, but to the Brits, it is a new academic year. In some ways, it is still related to me as most of my friends are leaving for their future education in the United Kingdom.

To all my friends who will be leaving soon or have left, all the best. There is something that I will never forget, the friendship that we've forged over the years. It doesn't matter if it is just a few days old or a few years long.

What matters most is the journey we have been through. The ups and downs of life that we've shared and the joy and laughter we had. It is hard to come by a friend who is willing to listen to you diligently when you are down or to share your achievements and not be jealous of what you have achieved. That is what we call true friend. They are the ones that you should cherish, not those who chose to turn 360 degrees after several disagreements.

Specially to all my friends in the United Kingdom, time zone is never an issue. We can still keep in touch via so many channels. We've got email, Facebook, twitter, Myspace, MSN and the list goes on. (Look Victor! We've got so many choices).

Finally, I wish everyone leaving well and all the best in your future endeavours. God bless.

You and I

Avillion Port Dickson

Wow, it has been almost two months since my last blog post. I should really consider to close down this blog to help Google save some space in their server.

Life has been great for the past two months, enjoying the long lost freedom since the day I entered Primary One.

Among all, some significant ones includes the trip to Port Dickson with my fellow classmates and the D-Day, that's the way I call it. Port Dickson trip is something worth mentioning. Remember the last few posts where I said the class trip after A-Levels would be somewhere nice like Japan. Well, it didn't materialise. We were supposed to head to ClubMed, but we landed ourselves in Avillion Port Dickson in the end. How amazing my classmates are. We had a good deal of fun over there anyway. Nice one.

Here comes the D-Day. You might have wondered what D-Day is, and yeah, D-Day is my A levels Results Day. I can sleep surprisingly well the night before it, and woke up way past the time where the results will be announced. As when I turned my computer on, my heart pounded even faster as if it is undergoing hyperventilation. Using the username and password supplied, I entered them character by character and hit the Enter key, what showed up was just brilliant! It suggests that either the username and password do not match or the server is overloaded. Upon reading through my News Feed in Facebook, there's a solution for this. Some said : Use your old username and password provided few months back. From that instant, I went for a treasure hunt, trying to hunt this piece of paper down. And finally, I found the paper and signed in.

I'm content with what I've got.

There will be no longer words like I and me. Time to change.

The End.

2010-06-11T21:00:00.005+08:00

Its officially the end of my A levels. I made it through the torturing one and a half months of examinations and I'm a free man now!

To be honest, I'm adapted to the lifestyle of having exams week after week or sometimes day after day. You wake up in the morning, head to college for classes, go back home and revise. That has been the routine for me for the past 18 months. Now that college has ended, I feel direction-less. You do not know exactly what to do when you are bored, all because your life has been revolving around books for the past 18 months.

Peaceful sleeps without the need to think of how to reflux, how to nitrate the benzene or how C4 plants work is something that I'm enjoying now.

I've laid out plans to execute before my university life starts, most probably in August. My HDD is filled with movies that I've not watched, Glee that I'll watch episode after episode and so on. I've planned my vacations, as to when to leave and things like that. That's the way to keep me active and not stone at home.

Final note, I vow to make my holidays free of you.

Don't stop believing.

End of Chapter - College

2010-05-07T18:37:00.013+08:00

The feelings are just too strong that they even prompted me to post this blog entry. It is so hard for me to believe that 18 months of A-levels has came to an end, in just a glimpse. Today is definitely a day that I will engrave in my brain, dedicate a sector in my brain for the 18 months of joy & fun in college. 7th May 2010. I would definitely say the 0901Bs2 changed the course of my life, I'm very sure of that.

There will no longer be us sitting in e8 & e2 as a whole, 16 of us with 5 lecturers constantly nagging us to "calm" us down.

The all 16 of us are like pieces of puzzle separated for 18 years. As the clock struck 00:00 on January 1st, 2009, everything seems to fall in place perfectly.

Unofficial Photoshoot - Chemistry.

Speaking of graduation, I never had such strong feelings back when I graduated from high school. Partially it was due to the size of the class, where we had almost 40 students back in high school and only 16 in college. The enrollment in college is significantly smaller and thus we are bonded together even closer. We have grown together for the past 18 months, sharing all our life experiences, laughters, joys and gossips. This is the class that makes fun of lecturers, our fellow classmates, random college mates and nuisances to adjacent classes. I bragged to all my friends about this class every time I hang out with them. I told them there's no other class in the world where you will get a daily dose of laughter, and it's true, everyone in college is envious of my class of being so close and united.

2009 Pre Chinese New Year Dress Up Day.

Somehow I feel that I just had my orientation day yesterday. I can remember vividly how it went. Although that Orientation wasn't the one that I've expected, but still it bonded BS2 strongly that no one can break. You might have wondered if am I exaggerating, but no, I'm not exaggerating here. People tend to have lunch with their high school mates during the first month of college but it wasn't the case for my class. We were so close that we decided to ditch our high school friends and have lunch with all 0901Bs2 classmates. We even spent 2009's Valentine's Day together and that was our first outing!

Failed Mafia Capture

I have to admit I learnt many new friends, new experiences and new skills in the past 18 months. Something that worth noting is the unexpected appointment as the president for the Student Council of Taylors College Sri Hartamas. I didn't expect to hold such post in college as my original intention was to concentrate on my studies in that 18 months course. It certainly polishes up my skills in various areas. Putting aside all the grueling meetings and those last minute plannings, the most memorable thing is the great team behind me that is always supportive. Without that great team of people, I wouldn't be what I am today. Thank you Student Council 2009. I would also like to express my utmost gratitude to all the administrators involved in Student Council including Mr Rahul, Mr Preman and Ms Dachaini.

Faces of 0901Bs2

To be honest, as I'm typing this post, I reminisce all the good old times we had. I'll seriously miss them. Even though I know quite a few of them could be my university mates, it'll be definitely different from what we are having now. We no longer sit in rows of four or five, turning back to the back row when there are little gossips going around, no longer ask for toilet break in between the five minutes class which my class is famed for, no longer visit the loo as a class (yeah, we visit the loo together.), no longer be able to tease SH. Everything gonna be different. This is definitely the things that I will never forget.

Student Council 2009

Throughout the 18th months, 0901Bs2 further strengthens the definition of friendship. I've been through a lot in high school but yet that doesn't beat the 18th months I had with the sixteen people in college. Stingy is definitely not the word to describe us. We share food, share laughter, share jokes and share knowledge. We never fail to help our fellow classmates that are in need of help. To be honest, it is the constant push from my fellow classmates that propel me forward. When it comes to exams and tests, they are the ones that fuel me to study and to excel. Thank you guys.

Pangkor 2009

On top of all the above, I'm lucky enough to meet #dearsomeone too, which I'm praying hard for it.

I always tell myself that this is not the end of everything, it is just mere another chapter of life. I am done with this chapter and I'll move on to the other chapter, bracing myself for more challenges. This is the chapter that I will never forget, even if this chapter is torn away from the book.

I am very sure that even though the puzzle has to be disassembled on 7th of May 2010, we will again, fall back together one day. That's is for sure.

I shall end here with a heavy heart. We'll meet again, definitely.

Pompey's Pillar, Alexandria City, Egypt.

It has been long since my last blog post. I kind of reluctant now to update my blog, mainly due to preparation of A2 exam.

I gonna jump right to yesterday, where yesterday was my first day of trial examination. I had Chemistry & Pure Mathematics papers yesterday. I scored many firsts yesterday, literally a few of them. Firstly, this is the first time in my A Levels course where I cant finish the paper in time. Secondly, I got owned by Math paper. Thirdly, I was depressed after Math paper. Well said, I did pretty bad for my Math paper. To be honest, before the math paper, I thought I was well prepared as I did almost ten CIE past year papers and non of them took me more than 1 hour and 30 minutes, which the paper's duration is 1 hour and 45 minutes. I got totally owned by the paper. That's not so depressing YET. I went home and I looked at the paper again, I was so furious about myself & the lecturers that prepared that. I have to blame both myself and the lecturers. I had mental block yesterday, during exam, that's the reason I can blame myself. I never flunk Math in A Levels before. There goes my A for trial exam. Chemistry was relatively okay, just that I have insufficient time to do the paper. Left one or two questions blank, was my first time too. But anyway, I need to get over it and prepare for my following papers. I hate doing that. I'm pretty sure my aim for A* is still strong and I will work towards it. Something came across my mind : What Did I ever do wrong in the entire course of A Levels that lecturers got back at us in such manner?

Oh well, I'm gonna try forgetting them and concentrate for my following papers. I've been working so hard for the past two weeks and I want to make sure my efforts are not wasted. I have to maintain the good standards that I've achieved previously and continue to uphold the standard or make it even higher and better.

Alright, enough of all the whining and ranting about the past two papers. Life has been pretty great for the past month, looking back at the fun I had, the moments I enjoy and the friends I have. If you came into my blog through my friend's blog, you may see the word "fated". I used not to believe in such things, but maybe not this time. I hope I'm correct this time and I'll never let this chance leave me.

If you guys have not signed up for Astro in High Definition, my recommendation - go get it. It is really awesome when it comes to National Geographic HD and watching football in HD. After I got Astro HD, I tried making myself free for an hour or two just to watch TV! How awesome.

Holiday is somewhere near! This is what I've been looking forward for. I have loads of things to do over the holidays. Firstly, I want to catch up with some of my friends as promised. Secondly, I want to catch up with the movies in the screens. I hope there would be nice shows coming up! I cant wait for that day.

I'm gonna remember this : 1+1=3. This was a quote from a friend of mine after a birthday celebration. She got drunk, and I asked her that simple question. Besides that, she wanted to phone her friend but instead she phoned me even I was just right in front of her. I gonna remember that for life. Dont you agree with me, ann?

Alright I think I gonna stop here today and carry on the preparation for tomorrow's paper. Wish me luck in everything.

Signing off

The Long Overdue Post

2010-02-05T19:04:00.003+08:00

It has been long time since the last time I blogged. I was really busy for the past one month.

After the Pangkor Trip, I flew to Egypt for my year end vacation. It was really awesome. I saw Shih Xuan there. What a small world.

Back from Egypt, I started working like crazy man. It was the Orientation Month for the new intake. It started off with Orientation Day, followed by the massive ECA drive Day and the gorgeous Orientation Party. Throughout the month, I had 2 gym visits only. That is bad.

Thanks Student Council 2009.

Now, I'm finally retired.

Oh ya, I got my AS results. I made it! Straight A with all A for every paper I sat. =)

I'm tired now. Ciao!

Pangkor Trip. Left : Hairy Ape

Hey!

Sorry for the long absence from the blogging world.

Right after my AS final, I've been enjoying the two weeks of classes, therefore I'm lazy to blog anything. The two weeks of classes were fun, discounting the tests I had, they were horrible.

Alright, must be wondering where I took the picture right? After the two weeks of classes, my class went to Pangkor for class trip, which just ended yesterday. It was aweeeeesome. Next trip-International trip. Lol!

I'm going to post some pictures here as there are too many to be posted.

Change is the new word

Port Dickson, Malaysia

The sky turned dark all a sudden. It is apparent that the rain is coming. I went out to the courtyard, and observed the movements of the clouds. It was amazing. As wind blows stronger, the clouds change their shape even faster. I was astonished by the various shapes and figures they can form.

In a split second, rain drops as big as a bean fell from the sky. Drop by drop, hitting surfaces, forming a melodious Song of the Rain.

Everything happened in just mere 10 minutes.

I saw another amazing thing about the nature. As wind blows stronger, the lighting occurs more frequently.

By the way, I have one more paper and I'll be done with my AS exam. Time to hit the gym again after more than 2-3 weeks of hibernation at home.

Signing off.

Freedom is nearing.

2009-11-13T22:22:00.002+08:00

Lemon Garden, Shangri-la Kuala Lumpur.

Exactly another week more and I'll finish my AS exam. Total length = 6 weeks.

This is the longest exam that I've ever sat for, even longer than school term examination. It is torturing to sit for six weeks of examination. I mean, seriously torturing. Mentally and physically.

Physics P1 is down, another 3 more to go. Right after examination, I think I need a good relaxation - eg. party/hang out. Suggestions please?

Expecting too much from one is not good, especially from yourself. I think I fit into the description. I'm expecting too much from myself. Throughout the six weeks, I've been telling myself to do well in the examination, and the result is pressurising myself too much. Who knows maybe that is why I advanced forward without motivation. Self motivation is not found in my dictionary. I do not motivate myself like others do, but I'm always motivated by others.

It takes two to whisper quietly

Biology is a study of life.

Why you are here Choon Lim? Go Study.

I felt like blogging all a sudden. Been quite a good weekend, with two straight days of hanging out in town, didn't get a chance to touch my so called "lovely" notes.

Should be a short post here I guess.

2 weeks more.

Go study Choon Lim.

Exams are freaking me out.

The s5 group - Surprise for Shu Ying.

This is the fourth week of my AS Exam. 2 more weeks to go.

Nevertheless, Happy Birthday Shu Ying! I hope it was a truly surprise birthday for you. Haha. It was a pretty cool birthday bash for her I think. At least it was for me. Haha.

The blog is currently undergoing upgrading works. I'm still getting the codes right, or else I'll just find another simple one and throw it in.

Anyway, to everyone that will be sitting for examination or already sitting for examination, All the best.

Big Guy Turned Eighteen

2009-10-17T11:18:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday dude! All the best

"It feels awkward when the news reached my ears. Can you please don't?"

Hey people!

My good friend, the guy in the picture has officially turned 18. It wasn't a big bang that day, but still it was quite an eventful celebration. We managed to get 2 hours of lunch break for him, and we headed to TGI Fridays next to my college for a mini-celebration. Maybe that's the BS2 way.

My apologies for the lack of update recently as I'm currently sitting for my AS final exam. Not that stressful as the exams are evenly spaced out. Thank god. Honestly speaking, I dont really feel the exam stress now. Its more like a holiday for me. I go back to college only like once or twice in a week. Cool eh?

People from all around the world are coming back this month, and also leaving this month. I'm going to meet my best friend LJY a.k.a DLG next week. I'm looking forward for that day. =)

I can't wait for Christmas to come.

Wish me luck for my AS final.

Taylors College Sri Hartamas Bioscience Two - Never Ending Surprises.

"I've been trying hard to forget but I couldn't. Maybe two is definitely better than one"

Hey People!

Another great gathering. We supposed to feast in Lemon Garden, Shangri-la today but due to certain circumstances, we decided to change the venue to Mid Valley. It was pretty =.= at first, but think about it again, its just another outing with classmates, why we have to be that particular about the venue.

I arrived Gardens an hour plus earlier to get something for a friend of mine. I thought it would be simple to buy a gift for a friend, but turned out to be the opposite. I walked for almost 45 minutes around ground floor, first and second floor alone, buying nothing. I got really tired about it, I gave up. At that moment, all I can think was a nice place to sit down and chill out. Starbucks is obviously my preferred choice. Was there for about half an hour.

Though we didnt manage to catch a movie, we again gathered at Starbucks to talk after lunch. Being the usual BS2, what kind of topics you can expect?

I find it difficult

Traditional way of serving beverages. The Turkish Way.

"I didnt know it is so difficult. I thought I've already accepted it as a fact and stored it somewhere deep inside but I do not know why it resurface. It's too harsh. Nevertheless, I'm still waiting."

Hey world!

This holiday is really a boring one. People might say : Your holiday is full of activities, visiting and so on. I dont think so. I need something to spice up my holiday! I cant wait for this friday. We are all heading to Shang for lunch. Cool Eh? Lol.

Besides meeting friends, the only thing that keeps me moving is hitting the gym. I spend most of my afternoon in gym these few days, hoping that I can gain some mass from there. I dont want to gain fats. Everyone knows I HATE fats. Fats are not cool, very demoralising. I shall keep my body fat as minimal level. I do not want to be like my so called "idol".

Another short post. I'm not talking about my results. Its holiday now, what for spending time talking about results? Its kind of rubbish to me.

I'm finally done

2009-09-12T18:13:00.003+08:00

Malaysia Airlines Airbus.

Finally my examinations are all over! I've been waiting for this day for ages. I never felt that good. Right after exam, we headed to One Utama for a movie. We watched UP. It was a pretty good movie, very touching.

I need a holiday badly. I want a holiday. Someone please bring me out of Malaysia. Please...

My lovely Exams

2009-08-29T15:21:00.001+08:00

Heey!

Exams coming.

Bye!

Another two hit the 18 mark.

2009-08-15T18:25:00.002+08:00

Hey.

I'm back in action, for a short while. Lol.

Mm, lets press the rewind button and see what I've done for the past few weeks.

First and foremost, I've been elected as the new president for the Student Council of Taylor's College Sri Hartamas. Nothing to be happy about. President = More work, less sleeping time. I've been tasked to do a revamp for the student council, especially getting in touch with the TCSH population. Not an easy job.

Secondly, Semester Two is really hectic. I've been sleeping less than 6 hours a day. OMG. I really need sleep as it is something luxurious to me. Reason being for that is because I'm studying everyday for tests. Yeah, its testS. I've got test almost every week. My goodness. This is maybe one of the reasons that prompted me to stop blogging.

Besides all these, I went Curve today to celebrate Chung Yi's and Pey Tsyr's birthday. We had it in Italiannes. AFter that lunch, we went to e @ Curve to watch G.I Joe. It's F*king cool. I like that movie alot. If you have not watch it, better watch. Sienna Miller is soooo hot.

Mm..that pretty wraps up what I want to blog today. For photos, I shall try to upload it once i get the photos.

No title

2009-08-02T14:19:00.004+08:00

Hey people,

I no longer have the motivation to write blog entries. I literally have nothing to write about. So yeah, I gonna stop writting till I have something nice to write. See you people!

Signing off.

Jog For Hope, A Leg forward for Charity

2009-07-19T21:28:00.002+08:00

Hey People!

I'm back after weeks of hardwork. I've been very busy for the past few weeks as I was busy planning ECA Drive Day and the Jog For Hope.

Today was the Jog for Hope event. Luckily everything went on really well, including my part. Thannk god.

Photo updates soon, but then at the moment, I'm really happy and relieved that everything went on so well. Bravo people!

Check them out.

2009-06-22T23:16:00.004+08:00

Hey.

If you want to be fatter, eat everything up there. I took them from Lemon Garden yesterday, dinner with my dad. Happy Fathers Day dad! Food was usual, same old thing. Lazy to elaborate more, enjoy!

Farewell

2009-06-18T17:55:00.002+08:00

Take care.

Best wishes to you and all the best in Australia.

Remember our promise,

We shall be meeting in Dubai.

P.S. I miss you.

Semester 1

2009-06-14T20:57:00.002+08:00

Hey people!

My exams are finally over and finally I got the time to blog about my happenings. It was really exhausting for the past two weeks. Everyday, without fail, I slept at 1am or later and got less than 5 hours of sleep for the past 14 days. I do not know who is giving me pressure. Izzit myself? or Izzit for some other reasons? I dont know. Anyway, I think I did quite well except for some papers. Anyway, lets dump that topic. Not worth talking about.

Right after the exam, my whole class headed to One Utama for post exam fun. It was really a great outing, especially the jokers- SH and XJ were with us. We watched Blood: The Last Vampire. The movie supposed to be a serious movie. However, the two jokers made that movie so funny. They were sitting in the middle of the whole cinema, and making loud jokes out there, influencing others to laugh together with them. That movie, wasn't as good as I thought, nevertheless, it was worth watching if you go with that two jokers. You'll laugh your lungs out.

Later at night we went to Ji Ann's house for barbeque dinner. Thanks Ji Ann for that meal. One funny part was, chinwei actually forgot to take his bag from Xi Jing's car and Xi jing left. Too bad chinwei, no books for you. Lol.

Friday, it was supposed to be my holiday but then I have to get back to college for meetings. I have to wake up freaking early to go to gym. I supposed to go fitness center after one meeting, but then only at about 11pm on thursday, I received a final confirmation that another meeting is on after the previous meeting. Dam it, spoil my plans and guess what, less than half of the people attended that meeting. Made me wake up so early.

Saturday, another barbeque + pool party. Now you know why I have to go gym? I have not visited the gym since for like two weeks, all because of that exam. It was really fun yesterday. You probably cant feel how fun it was here, but then, It was really fun. Too bad I dont have the photos, but I think i'll get it soon from the host. Lol.

Holidays just started. I think this holiday would be super productive for me. Hope so.

Take care everyone!

Temporary Close

2009-05-30T18:25:00.000+08:00

Dear readers,

The blog would be temporary closed as Semester Exam is just mere one week away. I shall resume blogging as soon as i finish my exam.

Cheers!

Lack of update

2009-05-18T17:23:00.003+08:00

My sincere apologies for not updating. Been pretty much packed with things to do recently. However, life has been pretty good, plus with bunch of friends in college who joke and crap everyady, without fail.

Its already 18th May 2009, just three more weeks away from my semester exam. I need to start studying. Thus, my blog would be even more "dead" compared to now. Besides that, I hate Moral Studies alot. During the Course Evaluation, i put this for my comment : Irrelevant Subject.

Besides that, in just another month, one of my very best friend is leaving for australia. Oh yeah, for those 4s5/5s5 2008 peoples who still read my blog, I think we should have a farewell for her. Go check out class blog for updates. My suggestion : Alexis or Itallianes in Gardens. =p.

Last Friday, we had a small appreciation ceremony for all my lecturers. it was wonderful.

Terribly Hot

2009-05-03T18:30:00.004+08:00

I miss them.

Terribly Hot outside. Will melt anytime soon.

Last week was a less hectic week. No meetings at all, and May Day Holiday!

I miss all my secondary school friends. I want to catch up with them!

I've been trying to find chance to blog about my recent activities, but I couldn't. I was packed with stuffs.

Same usual stuff, but got even busier and bigger, presentations, tests and meetings.

Anyway, here I wish you good luck in Singapore. There's always a bigger and wider sky for us to explore.

Take care people. Back to physics file for tmr's test.

2009-04-09T22:22:00.002+08:00

The number of cups of Starbucks we drank during Chemistry Class.

Hmm, seems like I've not been updating my blog for quite some time. So sorry for that. I have been quite busy for the past few weeks as there are many tasks to be completed before the CAL starts their break. Now CAL students are having a two week break and many things should be done within this two weeks.

On the last Tuesday, I went to college to participate in the Canadian Mathematics Competition, the Euclid Math Competition. It was super difficult. I left many questions blank. I didnt even know how to do?!?!

Yesterday, which was Wednesday, went out with my college mates + lecturer to one utama. Cool Huh?! Lol. The lecturer didnt want us to call her lecturer, so we decided to call her Japanese tourist instead. Later on, Ji Ann asked why shouldn't call her lecturer, then she said this : "Then call what? Call Aunty ah?" And yeah, Sakae Sushi has a new name, Xi Jing called the restaurant Sakai Sushi.. I was like WTH?!

I have many more things to plan and do:

(a) Hang out with my best friend from Subang campus. He said he has many things to tell.

(b) Finish my holiday assignments

Of Disections and Orientation

2009-03-20T17:40:00.003+08:00

Its already March, time flies really fast. I couldn't believe I'm already in college for three months. Taylor's College Sri Hartamas is undeniable one of the best college around town.

Come 23rd March, the big day for TCSH. It will be the orientation day for all March Intake students. Welcome everyone.

This week is one of the longest week for me. Very tiring. I had three Student Council meetings out of the five studying days. I can't complain much, because I just like representing students. Student Council rocks man. FYI, many may think student council of TCSH is just like any other odinary club, but we are in the midst of planning events. So we are not dormant!!!

Again, something really cool too! I had my first disection experiment. We disected a mamalian heart to observe the structure of the mamalian heart. What was so fascinating that day was Xi Jing brought a heart as big as a human head. We jokingly said that it was from a Kobe cow. Lol. It was just too cool doing that experiment.

Signing off,

Satisfied.

2009-03-14T23:14:00.002+08:00

Been quite a good week for me.

Finally..after almost three months wait..I got my SPM results, the day that I anticipated alot. I decided to go to college first before I went to take my results from my high school. Around 12pm, I left college and went to take my result. I thought I would be late but instead, the results were not out yet even it was already 1pm. I was like..Oh no...

And..THANK GOD...I WAS SOO HAPPY WHEN I SAW MY RESULT SLIP. I got all A except for my chinese. I was expecting to get an A2 for my chinese..but my brain wasn't working well when I sat for that paper. So..I'm still happy with the B3. And for god sake..I didnt cry for not getting an A for chinese. Stop that please. I was so happy that day. After taking the results, went to MV with my parents, then later with my friends.

Hmm..then today, went to ou. This trip is specially organised for mr. xxxxxiiii jing..as he didn't go to ou before. And..I'm lazy to elaborate about the trip. Anyway..it was very fun.

And yeah..I'm officially a driver now. haha. I drove today to ou! Lol. Just got my license on thursday.

What A Productive Weekend.

2009-03-09T11:43:00.002+08:00

This is what I did during my SPM days.

Been lazy to update my blog recently. After since I entered college, life has been very stressful and busy. You will see me repeating this over and over for the coming posts until I get used to the stressful life.

SPM results coming out on 12 March 2009. OMG, I am actually quite eager to know my results after the long two and half months wait. It doesn't matter to me how many A I get, but of course, I would want to have 11A1s. With 11A1, I would have another RM15K to spend, as my tuition fees for Cambridge A Levels for the three subjects would be waived. However, getting 11A1 is pretty impossible as the 11th Subject I took was Bahasa Cina, one of the most difficult subject to score an A1. Last year, my school has only 8 persons got A1 out of around 400 over candidates. Calculate the percentage and you will discover how difficult for me get an A1.

Now, here I wish my best buddy HAPPY 18th Birthday. Wei Hong, you are now 18. So now you can do many "things" that others still can't do. Dont get me wrong.....Hahaha.. Anyway, Thanks for doing a "BIG" promotion for my nickname in your blog. I bet now everyone knows. Lol. Luckily this nickname isn't famous in TCSH. Phew......

The TUCSJ people that came to TCSH. It's called lawatan sambil belajar. Lol

Finally, end of another week.

The whole week was packed with college stuff.

Chemistry test was difficult!

College life is getting more and more tiring.

Anyway, I gonna take my driving test soon! Yay! Another step nearer to P.

Of course, I would also wish another person best of luck in the driving test.

Economy crisis can now be felt in KL.

Went to Pavilion today and the usual sunday shopping rush was not there.

Deserted.

Monday Blues

2009-02-24T17:42:00.002+08:00

Hmm, it’s Monday again yesterday.

Yesterday, my class decided to wear blue and somehow it coincides with Monday, therefore, yesterday was Blue Monday for us. Lol.

What motivates me to write this blog post is the incident that happened yesterday in my campus. When I felt really sleepy when my chemistry teacher was about to start teaching Dalton’s Gas Law, the whole classroom went dark for a moment and the emergency light sprung into action. It was a BLACKOUT!!!!!!! The whole campus was in a total darkness for like 45 minutes and chemistry teacher decided to cancel the class as all our classes are conducted using ICT. No electricity = No Class. ROFL.

Basically, I laughed everyday during classes. No matter its during lecture or doing exercises, the noise makers in class (which one of them is me) never fail to make jokes. The joke yesterday was : Kamisama wa Baka des! – Kamisama in my class.

Hooked to : Chemistry Books instead. Internal Assessment coming soon.

Another Hectic Week.

2009-02-20T16:52:00.003+08:00

taken before cny.

I've not been blogging for almost two weeks. The past two weeks was pretty tied up with many things like ECA drive, student council meetings etc etc. Once I got back home, I have to finish up homeworks and assignments, prepare for the next day's lectures. College life is getting more and more hectic. Now I pretty miss high school life. I dont know why, I just miss all my friends in high school.

On Monday, I had my first Student Council meeting with all other council members. Although it didint last long, but it was really tiring. The meeting ended at 6.30pm but I left earlier. Soon, I have to stay till 7pm? 8pm? for council meetings.

Take this week as an example, I had three tests. Although some may cite that the internal assesment in CAL is not taken into account for final marks calculation, but it does taken into account for forecast result. So still I have to study study and study.

For the past one week, my mood fluctuated like what the sinosidual graph looks like. However, thank god that my schedule was packed with stuffs to do, thus i have less time thinking "those" things.

College life has been good in the sense that I have a new bunch of friends in campus, pretty like what I experienced in Form 2, where I started to know new friends. CHS was a completely new environment for me back then, but things changed after that. Now again, I have to do everything again. Thank god, I knew a group of cool friends, - the BS2 peoples. They are really cool. The past two weeks, I practically laughed every day, especially during lab sessions. I gonna laugh for another 16 months. Funny.

Special note: For those who are entering Taylor's Sri Hartamas's March Intake 2009, Please tell me. This is because.....let say I introduce you to Taylor's Sri Hartamas, I would be paid with a small fee. =). So I really hope I can earn some pocket money for my tuition fees. =P (They are really expensive!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIE YI!

Okay, i'm signing off. Ciao. swimming.

Thanks Everyone. and another birthday SHOUTOUT

2009-02-06T21:56:00.002+08:00

Well, thanks everyone for making my 18th Birthday an awesome one. Thanks.

Today was awesome. Early in the morning was pretty normal, when everyone sat around the free sitting area and chatted. All was normal till i saw Sarah Tan, the main culprit. Haha. She acted weirdly, usually when she sees me, she will be like.:***O...blah blah blah. She saw me and she turned back to somewhere else. Hmm..something is not right. Then Sook Han came over and asked me to help her in Chemistry, which was really odd tho, early in the morning. Never mind, being a good classmate, I assisted her. As 8.30am approached, we went back to class, and SOMETHING is really not right. Lights in eII was not turned on, WHAT? Anything happened? Power Shortage for eII only?

Entered the classroom, and all I could see was everyone looked at me, in the DARK. I KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING THAT TIME. Thanks a lot everyone. I was really touched and suprised with what you all did to me. Thanks the awesome BS2.

Besides that, thanks alot to all my other friends (Wei Hong, Brians Loh, Brian Cheah, Xing Leng) and of course, Ying Yi for making the trouble to come all the way from Subang Main Campus to Hartamas Campus, Thanks! You guys are wonderful too!

And..someone IS TURNING EIGHTEEN TOO!

Well, this is not the best pic took ever, there are more. =)

The Punctured Tyre

2009-01-18T22:11:00.006+08:00

Have you ever experience any tyre puncturing incident? I do and it was the first time ever in my lifetime. It was freaking scary. Serious, its scary when you are travelling with NOT ADULTS, but peers with the same age. Yeah, you got it right, its SAME AGE.

Yesterday, went out with Wei Hong and Yi-rui, did numerous visitings and etc etc, too lazy to elaborate. While we were on the way sending yi-rui back home via Kesas highway, something hit wei hong's car's tyre and it was punctured. Ish. We pulled over at the emergency lane. Luckily enough, the place we pulled over was just mere. 250M away from the SOS call station. I always wonder how does the SOS call station look like when I travel along highways, and know i knew how it look like. Asked for help and Kesas ppl came and changed for us. Lucky.

Anyway, i still need to thank my best friend- wei hong for taking me back home straight; which was a hassle. Thanks alot. Dont feel bad about the incident, its beyond your control, neither me.

P.S. Yee Sook, get well soon and be strong!

Taylors College Sri Hartamas

2009-01-14T14:05:00.003+08:00

Guess what, I'm blogging in my campus,

furthermore i'm in a class..

or you can say its a library visit.

Cool..

2009-01-10T21:11:00.003+08:00

Can you see what is that above? Guess what, I passed the bloody test! The f***ing test centre was so crowded and there is only 10 computers to handle more than 60 - 70 candidates. Crazy. No efficiency at all, not qualified to get the ISO 9001, take it down lah!

Kinda tired, right after the test, headed to Puchong to proceed my 6 hours Amali talk. Met Francisca, Wei Jie and Farhan there. Thank god Francisca was also having her amali talk, or not again i will be bored till death. Serious.

Again, college life is hectic. Tonnes of works, revisions and notes, HOW CAN I DO IT IN ONE DAY?

Oh yeah, let's see this pic, it was discovered by Xian Tze outside of the test center. Cute?

Back to School.!

2009-01-06T21:11:00.003+08:00

Its time now!

I got back to school.!

college to be precise.

Yeap, I'm in Taylor's College Sri Hartamas now,

i think its the latest campus around town now.

Orientation was yesterday

and classes start today.

Kinda lazy to continue to blog about

my turkey trip

so i gonna stop at day two. Lol

See ya!

Wonders of Turkey Day Two

2009-01-02T11:51:00.002+08:00

Day Two - Sultan Ahmed

Temperature : 5

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome to Istanbul Ataturk International. Due to safety requirements, you are required to be buckled up until the seat belt sign is turned off. For visitors, welcome to Istanbul and for passengers coming back home, welcome home. Thank you for flying with Malaysia Airlines."

Landed in Istanbul Ataturk International about 7am Turkish time (1330 MAS time). Immediately leaving the airport, we were greeted by local tour guide and moved to Blue Mosque. To make things worse, it was raining in Istanbul, wind was blowing strongly and I only wore one Polo T-shirt and a jacket! Right after stepping out from bus, I shivered all the way to the Blue Mosque.

The Blue Mosque, or Sultan Ahmed Mosque (flip Form 4 Sejarah Book Chapter 6, Turki Uthmaniyah Section) was built in 1616 by Ahmed I. The interiors was impressive! Anyone couldn't imagine how fine the interior work is. The Blue Mosque is one of the two mosques in Turkey with six minarets. Minarets was once used as the PA system for the prayer caller to climb up to announce the call to prayer.

Later on, we moved to Hagia Sophia (St. Sophia), which is located just opposite of Ahmed Mosque. Hagia Sophia is a former patruichal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum. The church was built around A.D 532 and 537 by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. Later on, Constantinople (Istanbul) was conquered by Ottoman Turks and it is converted into Ayaspohia Mosque.

After the ooo, ahha session at the Hagia Sophia, we walked to Topkapi Palace where it was the palace for Ottoman Empire when it shifted its capital from Bursa to Istanbul. I didn't enjoyed much as it was too cold. I walked all the way to the indoors to see the treasures left. The number of treasures left was enormous! You can even see a diamond as big as an egg. I repeat, an EGG. Of course, due to security reasons, photography is forbidden in Treasury Room.

Later in the afternoon, we went to Grand Bazaar for some shopping. Nothing spectacular except the design. Something like our Jalan Petaling in KL. Then we put up in Hilton Istanbul for a night.

Me & my bro at Waiting Lounge

International Departure

Day One - The Departure.

Temperature : ~25ºC (KL & Dubai)

Prepared for departure for flight MH30 at 2359 from KUL. I arrived KLIA super early, much earlier. Therefore, hanged around the airport's viewing gallery to watch some beautiful metal birds. Unfortunately this flight to Istanbul via Dubai was Airbus A330-200, no AVOD on board, was a super boring flight due to the absence of AVOD. However, I was lucky that the plane was Airbus A330-200 and not A330-300. A333 doesn't even have a PTV! At that time, seriously I dont feel like leaving, I was missing everyone in Malaysia!

After the long and boring 7 hours flight, finally i arrived. - Dubai for a one hour stopover at 0330am Dubai time or 7am Malaysia Time. Long enough for me to exercise my muscles to avoid DVT. After the one hour stop over, got back onto the same plane, with less load now. Continued my journey to Istanbul in another near 5 hours flight.

Happy New Year!

Without Doubts, The most memorable trip ever.

2008-12-19T21:33:00.003+08:00

With the trip came to an end, this marked the end of my secondary school life. How sad it is. =(

There's only two words can describe everything. Time Flies. Earlier of the year, we planned, discussed, argued about where to go, and now the trip came to an end. The Pulau Pangkor Class Trip! After almost 8 years, I was back to Pangkor again.

15 December 2008
Woke up super early to prepare for the trip and left home about 7 for breakfast and to the meeting point. I was expecting that I'd be the last person to arrive but I wasn't!!! Phew, luckily. Haha. Soon, around 9am, we left Jalan Gasing, heading to Lumut Jetty. We talked, laughed, slept, joked during the journey to Pangkor. As we reached Lumut Jetty, we boarded a chartered ferry to get us to Pangkor Island. And lets fast forward, skipping those check in procedures and settling down activities. Around 5pm , we took a slow stroll by the beach, and later played Frisbee. I was so unfortunate, being targeted by Jay and friends to be pulled down to the sea. After dinner, we went back to our apartments to play and wait for the clock to strike 12am mark. Check out the date and you'll know what i meant. While waiting for 12am to come, suddenly i came out with and STUPID AND LAME idea, we recorded the video and i'm waiting patiently for Astin to send it to me. Lol. About 11pm, I told Ying Yi I gotta go back to get my sweet slumber, but it was a lie. Instead of getting back to my room, a few of us rushed to the beach to prepare for Ying Yi's birthday celebration! We made a super sweet candle lighted 17 and an "eco-friendly", "biodegradable" cake using sand. Lol. I think she was super touched with what we have done for her.

16 December 2008

Ying Yi's big day. Woke up pretty early that day, about 6am to prepare for my morning jog. Supposedly Ee Lynn and some other guys wanted to join me but non of them woke up that early. Grr. Right after the morning jog, I prepared for my watery day. We had snorkelling and island hoping for the entire afternoon. I didnt care to take the banana boat as I have got strict instruction from my mom not to do so. Being a good mama's boy, I didnt. Haha. While we had our lunch at the Monkey Bay, I felt like i'm one of the LOST's character. I have never ate any of my meals at the beach. Went back in the late afternoon, didnt have much rest, jumped into the pool for some fun till about 5.30pm. Later on, we had our sunset cruise on that particular night. Although it was called Sunset Cruise, however, we can barely see the sunset as that evening was cloudy. I believed most of them enjoyed that night, especially the crazy gang - Ee Lynn. Jie Yi, Hui Yi, Me, My bro, ben, ying yi, yi-rui, pei nee and kai jie. Slept kinda late, about 2am that night, as we had lots of fun that night.

17 December 2008

That day was kind of a dramatic day. Many things happened on that day. Lol. Anyhow, it still remained a very enjoyable day. Again I woke up about 6 in the morning for jogging. Most of them were awoke by then because they wanted to see the sunrise. I wasn't that convinced that we could see sunrise from the nearest beach but I still wanna take a try. I went down to the beach and saw many of them were already there, waiting to greet the sun Good Morning!. Went for a jog, and had my breakfast. About 8.45am, a few of us, namely, Ying Yi, Yi-rui, Me, My Bro, Boon, Wei Quan, Xian Tze, Hui Yi, Pei Nee, Ee Lynn, Ben and Edmund went for exploration tour on bicycles. We cycled, stopped, cycled, stopped, and this sequence was repeatedly done many times. We stopped by many places of attraction on the island, which includes the Guan Yin temple facing the sea, the Fu Ling Gong(mini great wall) and few of the notable beaches. And I will never forget how difficult we had climbed the slopes. I was really really exhausted when i was back to the apartment. Took a shower and led another group of people to another beach, together with my best friend together with me - Jie Yi. We cycled fast and dropped by the beach for some heart-to-heart talk. I am really grateful to have such a good friend. May our friendship last forever. Thank god Jordan didn't go, or not we wouldn't have so much of heart-to-heart talk. Haha. By then we had our dinner, I was already very very tired and i wasn't feeling well by that time. I felt the heat was fighting to escape from my body, feeling dizzy and stuff. I wanted to stay up late for that night but I couldn't do so. All I need to say is that I wasn't unhappy that night, EMO FOR WHAT? I'm always happy. No matter what.

Prom was awsome! The best prom ever attended. The location, the food, the people, performaces, and many more, no words can describe how awsome it was! I'm not gonna elaborate alot. Photos tell everything. I'm currently in the midst of gathering photos from various parties.

Melodious Evening

2008-12-06T00:01:00.004+08:00

Today's evening is a night to remember. Pavilion KL was soo beautiful in terms of performance and the Christmas tree deco. I thought I was in Fairy Land when I watched the performance.

Supposedly I should have spend half of the day in Starhill with my parents to look at the contemporary horological pieces, one word..boring..., but I end up myself walking around Pavilion KL. Apart from that, you would be astonished that the price of each watch may go up to 1 Million, Ringgit. However, its a good experience though, experience the rich and famous life, which I couldn't even afford to buy the strap of the watch.

Don't you agree with me that Pavilion KL Christmas celebration is one of the best around town, or I can proudly say that its one of the best in the region (Asia Pacific), after experiencing the Christmas celebration in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kunming.

Anyway, just to do some free promotion for YTL, let me elaborate a little about the watch expo. Alright, its called A Journey Through Time II organized by YTL. The event is dubbed as Asia's Largest Luxury Event held in Starhill Gallery, voted by Forbes.com as the "Asia's Most Beautiful Shopping Complex". The event showcases the world best timepieces and exquisite jewelleries.

Birthday Shoutout!

Hong Kong MRT

It's Holiday! I never wasted a single minute for the past few days. Been hanging out with my friends around town. Tiring, but its fun - my tagline : Work Hard Play Hard.

Haha, wondering where is the huge big christmas tree is? The gigantic/huge christmas tree is located at the entrance of Pavilion KL, very nice. Went to Pavilion KL on friday and sunday. Two different days, different type of fun.

On Friday, went to pavilion with friends. Since they are also having their prom somewhere near mine, we decided to go for "hunting" trips. Although some off them like bloody rich Spencer got bags and bags of shirt, ties and trousers, people pass by him will definately amazed by his bags. Club Monaco, Tommy Hilfiger, Amarni Exchange and Burberry. Gosh, I dont think I have the chance to wear man. Anyway, just so you know, the whole KL is having a so called Savings Sale, stuffs are kinda cheap but I've got nothing for prom. Another fruit-less hunting trip.

On Sunday, family day! My dad suggested us to watch Quantum of Solace. Yeah, went to Pavilion to watch again. .... Anyway, 007 is a nice show, especially the nice scenery of Italy. Of course, now I know where's La Paz. Sounds familiar? Think again where you saw the word La Paz.

Smell of Freedom.

2008-11-28T11:05:00.003+08:00

I can smell the air of freedom.

I can feel the boring-ness.

However,

I finished my papers!

I'll miss everyone of you!

The day has come.

2008-11-26T18:38:00.003+08:00

SPM IS Over SOON!!!.

I just can't wait for the day.

But anyway, I felt sad at the same time.

I gonna miss all my friends,

the joyous moments we had,

the rubbish talk we had,

the heart-to-heart talk we had.

the crazy moments we had.

Ahh, I gonna miss you guys.

Remember to keep in touch!

I will miss you people alot.

May god bless you people,

and all the best in you people's endeavour!

Graduation.

2008-10-31T23:46:00.006+08:00

After five years of secondary education,

today marks the end of the secondary education.

It was the last day,

for everyone to gather around

it was the last day,

for everyone to buy the infamous canteen nuggets

it was the last day,

for everyone to wear their uniform

it was the last day,

for everyone to sit in the classroom as students,

and it was the last day,

of the secondary education.

Time flies. Finally the sun goes below the horizon.

Dusk.

2008-10-30T14:59:00.001+08:00

Life in secondary school is like 24 hours cycle, starting from form one and ending in form five. Five years back, when I was still at the age of 13, stepped into the lovely Catholic High School in Petaling Jaya. It was like the dawn of the day, a new chapter in life. Soon after that, the sun rises above the horizon slowly from east, towards the west.

Today is the late afternoon of the day, where the silhouette is visible, and tomorrow will be the dusk of the day, signifies the ending of my secondary school life. I gonna miss it alot. Ahh... CHS...I love you.

By the way, I got my class t-shirt, I liked it sooo much!! Thanks Boon Wei for doing the shirt, and obviously not to forget the ahem.. haha. Wei Hong for his help. =).

Enjoy your last day folks!

HELP!

Check out the photo up there! It was taken by me, obviously using my new born baby..=)

Today I went to Help Academy ( I wonder why they changed rheir name from University College to Academy, izzit a downgrade?) to pay the 550 bucks for application and registration. I think I'll be taking up the SASA Scholarship valued at RMxxxx.00 for my A Levels. At first I was thinking to study A Levels in Taylors U/C, however, the scholarship result isn't out yet and the deadline for Help is 29th October, which is tomorrow. Kinda rush huh? That's why I decided to go ahead with the application first, and wait for Taylors letter if I'm lucky enough to be chosen. Unless the value of Principal Award (Taylors) is higher than HELP, then I would make a switch, or not, bye bye Taylors...sob sob.

SPM nearing, gotta revise a little!

Delighting me Always

2008-10-19T20:12:00.004+08:00

What a great day today! You know what, I'm officially the proud owner of DSLR!

At first I wanted to buy the Nikon D90, the 2-week old Nikon's Jewel of the Year, however, my dear parents doesn't agree with my points, citing that very soon all this will go obsolete, therefore no point buying so expensive. Thus, being a good boy, I listened and decided to buy the second choice of mine plus a extra lens.

And I've chosen : Canon 450D Kit set + zoom lens (55-250mm)

I'm happy now, Thanks daddie and mummy!.

Canon Delighting me always!

Birthday Bash!!!

2008-10-19T10:41:00.002+08:00

Phew, finally it's over. That was 2 days back, it was Friday of course. I had a suprise birthday party for Eng Yuan and Boon Wei.

Did you know how difficult it was, to bluff the two birthday boys that we were going to have an outing instead of a birthday suprise party? To make things worse, the main organizer, Yuan's dear wife have no experience in organizing suprise party. Everything seem to be so messy. But luckily, everything was sorted out LAST MINUTE.

We had our bash in Chilis, Mid Valley. Gosh, we can only seat comfortably after joining two long tables, imagine how many people we had that day!

Astin : kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Everything is over now and everything is OKAY.

I do not have many photos as most of the photos are with li kee now, so i'll just grab some from astin's.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUAN AND BOON! BEST OF LUCK!

Of marks that became history

2008-10-10T13:47:00.002+08:00

Now I realise, to some people, marks are that important to them. I was told that there is one guy in another class added 30 marks for nothing! I think that's why teacher is a little pissed off and just gave marks whenever we asked.

I have to make it clear that my answer script was not altered by adding in or deleting unwanted points. All the answers in the answer script is genuine that was written during exam. But, some points I bracket up so that I could inquire teacher whether the answers are accepted or not. I asked for the marking scheme for few times but he said someone took it and refuse to show us. I gonna return school on Monday to do some printing stuff for the testimonials and at the same time. see teacher to re-check my answer script. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I ONLY GET MARKS THAT I DESERVE. I am willing to forgo any extra marks that I do not deserve.

I know some people in my class was abit pissed off regarding how teacher added marks and how people asked for marks. Sorry if I've offended you guys. Sorry. I felt very bad that I have offended you people and very uneasy adding so many marks too.

New Breed!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all my fella Muslim friends!

Visited a few of my Malay friends for their raya celebration. It's totally different from the Chinese new year we had. It has been almost 8 years I've not celebrated raya in Malaysia. Back to 2001, I was in Penang, then back to 2005 onwards, I spent almost all my raya holidays in China, where this are times China is having low season.

After the visiting and stuff, I head to Pavilion KL. Surprisingly today Pavilion was packed with people! I've been to Pavilion on this year's Chinese New Year's eve, it was so so so deserted, so I was thinking today Pavilion gonna be the same as Chinese new year's eve. However, some shops still remain closed, but not the big names like Polo Ralph Lauren, Armani or Salvatore Fer.

While I was having a cup of authentic Malaysian coffee in Food Republic, I noticed there's a new breed of lala-ness in town. Sorry to all the lalas, but i still wanna say this here. My god, dear lalas : Please wear your pants properly for guys! and girls, don't dress like you are wrapping a big over sized papaya with a small piece of wrapping film! Gosh.

This is how the new breed dressed, like what i saw today. I could only elaborate here, I've no time grabbing my camera and take down the photo. Okay, there's some kind of new boxers, where there's a long hook for you to hook onto your jeans. after hooking the boxers to the jeans, the jeans will be hanging while you are walking, showing half of your boxers and butt. Oh, please, dont think it's super cool and sexy. Bluek!

As for the female lala, go get a dress that suits you lah. If you are L, don't buy S, it will be like wrapping mangga! Furthermore, your clothes have lots of BIG buttons, it will be a hazard for others. You know how? When you wear over sized clothes, the button be shot out like bullets! Watched White Chicks? Yeah, something like that!

My exams are finally over, for the time being.

2008-09-26T15:37:00.003+08:00

Hey Guys!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

2008-08-24T15:02:00.002+08:00

After a long pause for not watching movies with my parents, I went out to Pavilion for a movie with my family. I watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, co-starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. The show was not bad, especially the storyline. Quite hilarious.

FOr those that have not seen Pavilion's GSC, here are some pics

Boring Holidays

2008-08-20T15:46:00.005+08:00

Freaking Boring School Holiday.

I'm not planning to study this holiday. Definately a NO for me to study, because this holiday I'm supposed to have fun by the beach, enjoy the soothing winds from the sea, pampered by the sun. I can't go to Terengganu this holiday, both my parents are not free.
I've been like lingering around KL. Went out with my friends, then my parents. KL too, seem to be more and more boring.

But, I've something nice to talk about. I went to Starhill for dinner with my friends. It was wonderful. I can guarantee that you will definately be pampered by the environment there. After the dinner, me, rachel and mark went to Village Bar in Feast Village to try out some new drinks. As usual, I asked for my all time favorite, Promegranate Martini. Then Mark saw my martini, he was like.. " I hate that". I grabbed his Honey Mango Margarita, I jokingly said:"Eww..I hate that". But in fact, Honey Mango Margarita is a very nice Tequila Cocktail, fruity taste.

Actually I had a fun time with them, since long time I've not been meeting up with them, especially Raymond, Jin and Elise.

I'm trying to get hold of mark, since all the photos are with him. LOL. Sorry for that!

I never expect everyone to dress so well for the dinner. It's wonderful, you couldn't imagine how pretty the girls are and of course..how handsome the guys are. Lol.

I was there a minute before six in the evening, so i'm still considered early. Haha. The dinner kick start with a photo session for all forms.

What more can i say? Just a few words. Spectacular and wonderful.

But..haih!!!!!

Lee Chong Wei got his silver medal only! I'm equally sad. Argh..aim for Asian Games in Guangzhou and 2012 London Olympics. Go Chong Wei and Malaysian Team!

I couldn't find Chong Wei's photo over the net and I'm lazy to upload photos, these are some of the photos.

The gerko marks! Damm! What the shit it is!
I'm fine with the marks given for uniform bodies and clubs, but not

sports

People dont even give marks according to the guidelines given. Where the hell you can get 80+ marks when you dont play for our Country, or at least, Selangor Team.

Getting into MSSS is nothing great, it's just inter-district competition, which means you represent your district. Damm it!

Sometimes, you will get straight into MSSS because, there are too little schools for compete for MSSD, HMPH!

Damm it. Teachers advisors must do really check it! It's your resposibility to check. TQ

Finished.

Basically today is a movie day for us. My classroom has been turned to a movie "theater".
We continue to watch Forest Gump, quite touching tho. Haha. Then watched another Hong Kong movie, but I denno what's the name.

Back to Monday, I went to the Traditional Costume competition. I'm lazy to elaborate lah. Quite tiring.

What A Suprise!

Something important that I seriously need to blog about.

When I was having lunch in one of the place in KL, I saw Tony Blair and Cherie Blair, the ex-PM and First Lady of United Kingdom. We were dining in the same restaurant - Lai Poh Heen.

When finished having my lunch with my parents, again I saw another prominent figure. Guess who, came in Mercedes S600 Limo without any car registration number. No...He's not Malaysian.

I saw the crown prince and his wife of the Sultanate of Brunei. But nothing spectacular, a lot of mustache and not that tall. His wife was a simple person, a jeans plus a polo top. Simple huh?

Prom

2008-07-24T16:19:00.002+08:00

I need help!!!! Guys out there, please give some suggestions!

I've been looking for prom's suit for months and yet I cant find one that suits me well!

Let's see, I've been to Club Monaco, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, Armani Exhange, Massimo, Versace and many more. I've found nothing except for Club Monaco. I found a blazer/coat which is quite unique, but doesn't suit the dinner's theme!!!!

I need help now. Serious help. I felt like wearing normal suit, bow tie etc, but it will be DAMM boring!

Please drop by your comments!

Memories

2008-07-15T18:12:00.002+08:00

Time really flies.

Finally life as a prefect will end tomorrow. OFFICIALLY

Today I carried out my last Full Day duty, from morning 7.15 am till 1.40pm. This will never ever happen after 15 July 2008 (Tuesday).

7.23 am - Marks the start of my day. First bell that breaks the morning. Greeted all teachers with a warm smile. Introduced my sucessor to teachers.

7.28 am & 7.33 am - My sucessor rang the bell.

10.15 am / 10.55 am - Last second bell for Form 3/ Form 5recess in my entire lifetime.

1.10 pm - End of schooling session for the day.

I really miss being a prefect. Alot.

Just to make things CLEAR

2008-07-12T12:52:00.007+08:00

Looking back, I've been a prefect for almost 4 years and things goes well as what I expected.

However!

I've realized that there IS one fake person hanging around me, not from my class. Damm it Faggot!

Here, I would just like to make things REAL Clear.

I've been hearing that THIS FAKE PERSON will be spreading rumours bout me after I step down on Wednesday. Some negative statements.

Here I would hope everyone that hears this message to IGNORE the message if you believe me. I guarantee you that the statements are FALSE. Not even one is true, believe me.

I know who you are and if you believe in god, stop it. God will never bless you if you continue doing that.

Moreover, after consulting the lawyer, legal action can be taken under Act 286 Section 5 and Section 6 of the Law of Malaysia. I'm serious about it, YOU DO IT, YOU GET IT!

-Signing off With Anger.

1st Taylor's Culinary Challenge

2008-07-05T17:16:00.006+08:00

Today is a tiring day. I'm very tired now, exhausted, drained out.

I went to Taylor's College PJ campus for a culinary challenge. It was super fun. We get to cook in the real kitchen, like the one in Hell's Kitchen. Most apparatus and utensils are provided and also, ingredients not to forget.

Out of the 32 teams, I managed to squeeze into the top 6 for the finals which was held in the afternoon of the day. For the qualifying round, I cooked something really special which was very different from other participants. **I was told by someone else**. I requested for a grill plate and I started grilling the SPECIAL ingredient called CHICKEN and also vegetables. I felt this was very exotic, just like the Hawaiian style grilling. Rosemary, Worcester sauce, pepper, salt etc...

I was really suprised I managed to get into Top 6 teams. Really suprised.

As for the second round, I pan fried the sea bass provided. I'm lazy to elaborate further. But I can tell you why I couldnt get the first place. I forgot to add in SALT to my mashed potato! Haih, so...i got.......

You will know the placing on Monday.

Photos will be posted soon

Day by Day, Week by Week....

2008-07-03T17:17:00.002+08:00

Another day gone and another happy day.

Today was the photo session for graduates to be. I felt i'm older and I dont feel like leaving this school. There are so many things that I will never forget about this school, the people, the teachers, the environment and also being a CHS-ians.

I've started my study plan, begining with drawing mind maps and doing some add maths questions. I'm hoping that teachers will cover the syallabus as soon as possible so that I can do model exam papers due to the fact that I dont go to tuition. So the best way for me to excel is to study, study and study.
