Of Rantings and Boasting

Wow.. It's been so long i last post anything eh.. My blog is practically in the ICU for a few months de.. If my blog is a diary, it probably gt lost somewhere.. Thx technology...

Well, this post won't talk much either.. It's mostly just to keep my blog alive and well, rant a bit.. In a few weeks time, i'll be sitting for my finals. With assignments and tests coming, there is really no time to slack now. What's worse, i look at one of the past year paper, i have no clue what to answer.. OMG!!

Enough rantings.. Don't wanna talk bout it so much.. Just spoil the mood only. Now to boasting.. XD

There is a performance by the UTP demo team for the ChemE High Tea. Well, since it's our first demo on stage, no doubt there is a few mistakes here and there.. But overall, i think we did great.. Probably it's the choice of song and dance that makes the crowd go crazy.. Feel a bit embarrassed that time.. Oww man, need to get the video and upload it soon..

P.S. There's probably another demo before the semester ends..

Oh ya, and a thousand congratulations to my cousin, Jan Er and her newly wed hubby, Kwong Boon. A lovely picture of them..

Bigger angpau ya next Chinese New Year..

Some of the photo of the wedding dinner:

Till next time when the blog gather a mountain of dust.. Tata~~

I'm 19 now..

This year birthday is pretty memorable.. All thanks to the friends back here in rawang that make it happen..

It all started with a phone call from my one of my fren.. She asked me where am i? This is the 1st hint. Ok, so i played along.. Not long after, another fren of mine call again to confirm where am i since i usually travel to and fro from my grandma house to my house.. Then, another fren of mine call me to go out "yum cha" or to put it in english, drink tea, a term we use to go hang out it some stall to bull crap..

The surprise starts here, they actually, planned it near my housing area. that really surprise me.. they even had a cake. a blueberry cheese cake from secret recipe.. these frens sure know how to spend.. haha.. but anyway, i really am touched.. thanks guys and gals..

Then, we go to Rawang's best hangout place, McDonalds.. we sat down, talk some bulls**t till a little over 12.30am.. i know it's still early, bt, the next day, some of us are going to Sunway Pyramid. Anyway, the messed up part of this is we hang around McD for about 1 and a half hours without ordering anything from the counter.. yes, u hear me rite, we bought nothing from McD that nite. Jz crash their place and eat the cake they bought for us.. Lucky they didnt chase us out..

The next morning like i said earlier we went to sunway pyramid for some ice-skating.. Hmm, the last time i ice-skate is probably when im 7 or 8 years old, anyway, it's still more than a decade that i skate..

the skaters

the "leng lui" that skate with us

The part here is a bit disrespectful to the ladies here.. haha.. anyway, for some good laugh, i did manage to spot some pretty girls too (even if there is leng lui skating wif u, doesnt mean u cant look at other.. :p).. then, there is an instructor who is pretty, slim, proportionally-shaped who practically had made ice-skating her 2nd nature (the 1st is living, duh!) wow.. to be expected from a pro... sorry everyone, didnt manage to take a video..

After some skating, we had our lunch at BBQ plaza.. After eating, we went for some window-shopping. I of course, went to look for my futsal shoe to replace the one i lost, T.T

I went to al-Ikhsan, found it only to realize they ran outta stock on my feet size.. he says, wat bout a different size? omg.. how about we negotiate my foot size? f*** off... if tat fella said "wat about a different model", i woundnt be so pissed off.. c'mon salesman out there, when u gt an interested buyer, pursuade him another model if there is no size or watever reason.. try and get their money.. i get outta the shop straight away.. i buy from shop which serves me well.. then, i went to the adidas sports shop. found it too, bt, slightly overprice.. well, i still gt time till next month.. wat's the rush.. get outta shop then.. studio-r, well, they have it for football but not futsal. haiz.. out then.. in the end, i didnt bought anything that day..

Before going back, they gimme me a present. A pen engraving my name on it.. A well thought-out present.. Thanks everyone..

In the night, i had dinner with my family to celebrate my birthday. It's a day late (saturday) cz we wanna celebrate with everyone..

Once again, a millian thanks to my family and friends whom make my 19th birthday memorable..

Port Dickson! PD....

It's rite after STE.. barely had time to rest.. bt, surprisingly not tired.. maybe the thoughts of having fun excites me..


Hmm.. A typical journey there.. need not talk much bout it.. we reached the apartment around 7sumting pm.. do a little bit of cleaning and relax a while playing cards and rummy.. well, it's only around 10sumting pm tat we feel a bit hungry.. lol... time to look for foods... dragon is growling ba...

since it's not really that early anymore, and we were too lazy to look so far, we ended up eating at a malay food court..

The PD gang!

Had our foods.. chat a while and mosquitos attack our legs.. so, we leave lo.. to the beach.. oh yeah... while driving to the beach, jen han suddenly go over the other side of the road.. whoa.. scare the crap outta us.. figuratively speaking... dun worry... no one is hurt during this trip..

reached the beach.. well, it's dark.. hmm.. hard to give an explanation in this.. let the picture do the talking ba...

see how dark izit?

missing 2 feets rite? well, better dun kacau them la...

walk around the beach, play the sands.. didnt really play the water la.. jz let the waves wash up to our feet oni... and, so it's time to go back to the apartment... bt b4 that, we visit the 7-11 shop.. u guys out there don't go think sumthing else k.... v all are decent fellas... buy some beverages and go back to the apartment. thats all..

it's around 11.30 d.. well, it's no point sleeping so early since this is a vacation.. so, v continue with our rummy and "chor dee".. no money is involved. DECENT ba...this is practically the atmosphere in the apartment that nite..

YUM SENG!!!

booze, cards and tiles..

we chat and chat and chat till late nite, all craps and history is being told.. ah... catch up time... it's till after 3am that some of us only start to feel sleepy that we stopped.. probably im tired due to the STE and then straight for the this trip, i fell asleep almost immediately. next morning comes so early.. at around 10am, we guys (sleeping in a different room) were woken up by 2 noisy girls..

the morning peace............

the 2 noisy girl who break the morning peace

well, v took our time lo.. brushing teeth and stuff.. preparing for day 2.. our breakfast start with eating roti sardin.. walauwei.. RM3.50 sial... UTP mia only RM2.00 ar.. after had our breakfast, we went for a stroll at "dunno where". anyway, there, eddy and me bought a pair of sunglasses.. man, we choose like 15 minutes only to realize there is better choice inside the shop.. and the shop assisstant didnt help as well...

our sunglasses and us..

after buying our glasses, we walk around awhile, then decide to go to the beach again..

taekwondo fanatics.. lol....

they fight, then...

they make up...

We went back to the apartment then.. played some game of truth or dare.. wakakaka.. eddy choose dare where he need to shout "saya suka tengok perempuan" outside the apartment.. the messed up part is there is an auntie hanging clothes at another block of apartment.. this idea is all thanks to the U students where they shout the exact same thing the night before at the beach..

all good things needs to come to an end.. it's time to say farewell to this trip.. before travelling back, we had seafood for our dinner.

enjoying our meals.. yum yum!!!

last group picture.. Happy family of 7...

And so, that is our PD trip.. The gap of lost time had been bridged.. Though by end of the day, it's pretty tired, it's totally worth it...

Soaring the Eagle

The 2nd week of my sem break is possibly my most hectic week during the holidays.. Why? Well, it's because of STE and another trip right after STE.

STE was really amazing. The only unsatisfied area is the lodging.. 6 guys cramp into a room with 3 double-decker beds.. Don't get me started with the size of the room. There is hardly space for us to walk about..

Putting lodging aside, im really satisfied. Not only me, even my "dragon" is happy. The food is marvelous with each day a different theme so that we don't feel bored with the same type of food.. Not to mention chances of meeting new friends. The activities i thought to be boring turns out to be really interactive. I actually enjoys them.

The sharing session brought several of us to tears though.. haiz.. lost my cool... anyway, im not afraid to admit that.. yes, i shed quite some tears.. :p

The only thing I regret is that i didnt took a camera with me to take all these memorable moments.. Oh well, this gimme a reason to get to know people with cameras.. hehehe.. well, this part, i guess only ste batch 2 fellas will know wat im talking bout.

Then, i also had the chance to host the last night for the singing competition.. Hosting with me is Puven.. Well, i guess both of us did quite a hell of a job.. To be honest, i think the singing competition isnt the main event.. The main event starts when the dance floor is open.. Woohoo.. The atmosphere is really high.. REALLY HIGH.. We practically dance till exhaustion. Almost everyone present dance.. Grinding, Twitching even shuffling were performed on the dance floor.. At one point, even the DJ Ozy step on stage.. An indescribale feeling of awesomeness that nite is...

Well, what more can I say.. Hmm.. Yes, a perfect end to this programme.. "STE is LEGEN- wait for it... -DARY"

Ok!! Construction time

A make over for the blog.. Gosh.. I'm just ain't good in this kinda stuff... Just so you know, it'll gonna take a while for the new look of the blog..

Celebration with UTP-ians (Part 2)

Today post is mainly about celebrating Isabel's and "lao pi"'s birthday.. actually many of those that were there already wrote it in their blog.. since im too lazy to upload the pics and stuff, i just give u guys the links~

http://jeremylowweiwen.blogspot.com/2009/02/updates.html

http://michkirszanelee.blogspot.com/2009/03/ongoings-in-february_7480.html

there is still plenty of other blogger who celebrate this party together.. But i picked this few with pictures..

Jz so u UTP-ians know, this post is dedicated to my hometown friends doesn't know u guys. Since im too lazy to write it in a blog, i used ur blog to tell them the great times we had.. XP

My temporary holiday

The fact, i posted a blog means that im back in Rawang d.. Seriously, my room in UTP is hopeless in terms of connection. Rather than being frustrated "trying" to blog in my room, might as well don't blog in my room..

Haiz. This week is DISASTROUS!! The difficulty level of the test and quiz question is insane.. Whether onot the result look pretty or other way round, i won't have regrets. Cz the question is really freaking tough... It's demoralizing to talk bout it anymore.. =.=

I gonna exploit this few days to the fullest.. Sleep, connection, air cond and hot shower.. A relaxing weekend.. Ah~

Where has the time gone?

This week holiday doesn't feel like a holiday. I don't understand that why people will say boring.. I don't even had the freaking time to say im bored.. One good thing is that my essays only left 2 or 3 only and ICIS assignment is done.. Don't expect more from a lazy bum like me k? But still where has all my time gone if i had no time this holiday.. This is one question i can't answer myself.. I didn't have much outing, didn't go down to kl unless the day i go 1 utama where my bro treat us to TGI. And my online time is during the night.. So, where is the time spent? racking my head to find the reason where the time had gone.. Is the day becoming shorter? I doubt it.. I bet that the time will drag as always during my physics and chemistry lecture when i return to utp..

Tonight is my last night having a stable and speedy connection. Might as well take the chance to update the blog since i'm too darn lazy to finish the essays. Not to mention tomorrow, i need to wake up early for the "Ching Ming".. Should buy the ticket for earlier KTM back if i knew it..

Not the best holiday week...

Celebration with UTP-ians (Part 1)

1st celebration after going back to utp after CNY.. well, if it isn't chap goh mei.. well, my adopted sister is crying about wanting a chao goh mei dinner... So, we all like always "sayang" her like a baby follow her desire lo... Wat's worse, i dunno whose's idea is tat, bt by end of the day, we all ended up wearing "formal" attire for this occasion.. Don't believe it? Check it out...

Fancy dinner? Probably...

The Company's members..

After the dinner, which fill our stomach with delicious food, we all chat around.. The chat probably last even longer than our meals... Haha... And so, we all decided to go for a stroll at Batu Gajah, a nearby town to chill at their cafe... Too bad, the cafe didnt open, and in the end we all decided to go back to UTP..

Ryan is down cause the cafe's not open

Jz Filling the Little Free Time I've Got

Been a darn long time since i last blog. Bt heck, it's not like i can.. Connection is crappy, and workload is like the height of Mt. Kinabalu.. Can u expect me to blog.. Well, with the current affair going on, there will be another long pause in this blog b4 the next entry comes in.. Bt, the nxt time the entry comes in, expect this blog to get a major change..

CNY '09

This year CNY is pretty amusing.. For starters, it's the 1st year my family members didn't *ahem* play cards to put it in better manner of speaking. XD.. then, there is also the fact it's my 1st CNY after entering utp.. Many cousins ask bout where am i studying and etc... Not to mention it's also my 1st time wearing such a "formal" shirt for this festival... well, needless to say, bro's i steal the limelight... Wakaka... Probably next year will be the same as well... Heck, of cz it'll be a new shirt....

My bros and cousins.. Guess who's my bro and who's my cousin...

The Fathers

The Mothers

Of cz.. not to be forgotten my friends.. Well, my hometown friends anyway.. My uni frens, let's jz say they don't live the same area as i am... Anyway, it's the 3rd day of CNY if I'm not mistaken.. XD.. We all hang out almost half a day... Probably the Lady Luck's smile shine on me that day.. I totally vapourise their coins.. Wakaka... Guys and gals, don't need to thanks me for lighten ur purses and wallet.. I'm glad to do so... Of cz, my childhood fren, Eddy oso slaughter quite an amount from them too... We duo totally rocks the day.. Oso need to thanks the friends who allow us to party crash their homes...

The real GOOD FRIENDS!! Some weird pose.. YAH.. I know that...

The drunken dudes.. Lucky nothing happens to the girls.. LOL!!!

By end of the CNY, I had pretty much fun with family and friends.. Not to mention my expenses in UTP for this month has been compensated from the angpow income.. Yup, it's one of the many good things during CNY especially when u r living on ur own...

Back in UTP..

Here starts the 2nd chapter of my university life... Too "who may concern ^_^", ahem ahem... well, i got back my old room.. As usual like last sem, i didn't have the chance to go online.. so, i am basically MIA from the messenger lately.. This is my report to you... Haha..

The familiar view

The day i gt back in UTP was an early one.. I reached around 9.30am and disturbed my roommate's dream... Haha.. Sorry, Edmund.. ^^

Set that aside, i pretty much enjoy my time here at the moment.. Back to the first day, well, my leg is itching to be back in the futsal court.. umm.. the day is pretty boring cause it's all packing and moving in, so, why don't i skip to the futsal part... haha..

ok.. it's our first futsal game of the sem.. time to put my shoe to her first test.. yes.. it's a "she".. haha.. heck.. there not only me.. there is a few of us bringing their "new shoe" as well.. there is a Puma, Nike and yours truly, Adidas in the court.. hehe... in our 1st game, i scored a hat-trick (3 goals) and assist 2.. Seeing how the record speaks for itself, it's money well spend.. to my mum and dad, hehe.. the shoe is still like a new shoe.. don't worry.... well, that night, my leg is pretty sore not to mention i am really worn out.. after all it's been 2 months since i last exercise and i wake up early this morning...

now, the 1st day of the sem.. hearing my friends who came back early, there is no eye-catching "ones" around.. if u know what i mean.. but, still I'm tempted to see for myself.. ":p gome ne...." well my friends were right.. "daijobu" after the lectures, we went back our room by 5pm.. well, i thought of having a nap 1st but, there is a change in plan when my friend greet me in front of my room..

friend: hey, wan go futsal?
me: leg pain la... but wat da heck, let's go..

well, what i said is pretty stupid.. no no.. it's not the game.. tat game, i scored 2 and assist 3.. oh yeah.. i know I'm good (ss-ing) but it's what comes later... my leg is so sore that it's hurts just to walk.. (it's just the acid.. normal...) 2 futsal games in in 2 days.. that's Monday... and in the night i and my friend went for an outing.. we had pretty much fun...

on Tuesday, there is nothing much happen other than going out to eat at kampung bali... a Chinese village near our campus.. let's just say we had around 5 cars and needed 3 tables to fit all of us... wow.. it's like a university version of a CNY reunion dinner... and there is a few who didn't come back yet (from east Malaysia) to utp.. if not maybe we will need 4 tables.. @.@

on Wednesday, today, we finished early.. only 2 hours of lecture... and free till tomorrow.. well, there is likely a futsal game in the evening (provided it didnt rain) and my leg still sores a bit.. but don't worry.. i will take care of myself... anyway, i can still be reachable using my phone... u all can keep me in touch with that...

The Grand Spend

It's been a while since I last update my blog.. Seriously, there isn't anything interesting enough to be put in the blog.. So, i might as well sum up this few week in an entry... Don't get me wrong though. I still enjoy the holidays for I know I'll be miserable when I'm back to books. Well, like the title suggest, this post is mainly bout what i spent during this holiday. I know, i know it will be a boring entry.. But hey, what use is a blog if i don't update it often..

As you all know, i had bought an external hard disk. Well, the spending didn't end there.. On a Sunday (forgot which one though), we had a family outing to go shop for new year cloths.. This is something interesting actually. Not the shopping part (people who knows me knows shopping isn't my style) but getting there. My parents went for a dinner the night before and we were supposed to meet them the next day. Anyway, we go to KL using KTM.. Well, i guess the phrase "wrong place at the wrong time" is what happen next. There is a raid on the KTM by the police demanding us to show our identity card.. Well, being a good civilian, there is no need to scare.. But, unfortunately for a few people who should drop at Kuang station missed (they don't allow people to get off the train until... well, didn't pay attention). No worries.. I get off the station where I'm supposed to get off...

Back to spending part.. I would say I'm a thrifty person.. All my new clothes never exceed RM100 every new year.. However this year, something got into me and just on clothes and pants, i already spent over RM250!! A new experience, but not gonna do that again.. Why? Cause I love my wallet.. In total, I bought myself 2 shirts, (a PADINI and a SEED) a round neck T-shirt (forgot the brand but it ain't cheap) and a pants (SODA).. Gosh, previously, i bought 3 T-shirts and 2 jeans and it cost me less than RM150.. Talking bout inflation...

Then, skip to a few days later. I'm going to KL yet again.. This time with my friends.. We watch Ip Man and it's a pretty darn good movie.. The story is predictable but heck it's a martial arts movie.. All we want is one dude bashing up the others.. Hurray to Donnie Yen.. Great and genuine move.. Then, comes the messed up part.. i though of having a lunch not costing more than RM15 (c'mon it's KL) which then i spend RM20 for that.. Later that day, they all went home around 3pm and we split way where I went and look for a taekwondo equipment shop my friend told me about.. Damn, it ain't easy looking for that shop.. Took me like an hour to look for a shop that I would have reach in 10 minutes if i know the place.. Here i spend another RM185 for my BLACK BELT uniform.. Opps.. I did I say black belt.. XD Haha....... Well, getting black belt is one of my unfulfilled dreams. Can't blame me for wanna ss a little...

Looks beautiful isn't it?

Upgrade!!

Name on belt. Sweet!!

As most of my futsal friends knows, my shoes had suffer a great ordeal from playing futsal.. So, i decided to buy a futsal shoe.. Here it cost another RM130.. Normally, i would be buying a shoe less than RM70.. Yet, i easily fork out this money (I would have pay too if this pair of shoe is priced higher than that).. It's because this futsal shoe really captivate my heart.. As if it is saying "buy me... buyyyy meee.." Well, the shoe had a point.. I'm a taekwondo exponent and because of that, I can't help liking that shoe.. Hmmm, why buying a futsal shoe had something to do with takwondo? Well let the picture do the talking...

This is a taekwondo kicking shoe

This is my shoe. Big difference?

Oh ya... Its an ADIDAS shoe.. Well, I don't normally buy branded stuff.. But once in a while, it's ok i guess.. I'm really not that stingy anyway... Some more, if it's a thing you really like, it's worth it.. Beware my UTP-ian friends.. The "magician" will be back with his new touch.. (SS-ing..) Muwahaha....

The top view

All right, summing up all the stuff I had bought this holiday, RM250+RM185+RM130=RM565.. Wait wait.. That's not all, there is still RM565+RM260(for external hard disk)=RM825.. And this amount didn't include the the fares and the foods... Wow.. My wallet is seriously wounded... T.T
