A Break.....

A break phew.... Kind of relief about having a break after studying for consecutive 12 weeks. Never had I thought that 9 months down the road my destiny would turn out to be so different. Yeah, like I had mentioned a thousand times before life is indeed unpredictable....

But it is the unpredictability that makes it interesting, that keeps us guessing what would be coming next....

A levels might be easier than what I had experienced before but that also means that the going will only get tougher from here. Seems like perfection is the key to err success in A levels. Judging on what I had heard the past week, I realised that in almost every single subject achieving the 100 marks is the ultimate goal. A 98 is simply just not good enough.

Well, well seems like there is a huge task ahead of me.... Got to start studying harder... No doubt about that. The hope of securing a scholarship is the only thing that drives me on I guess..... Hope... something that always enlighten our hearts.... Perfection here I come!!!

Finally out of it!

After 10 weeks studying at UTAR I am out of it!! This Wednesday I just went to MCKL to study A levels. After considering all my options I have decided that A levels would be the way to go in keeping my options open.

It just feels so good right now. No reports to worry about, no assignment to stress about, phew this is such a free flowing life I am having right now. Truth be told, A levels seem a little easy currently haha.

Going to this college is so much more easy as I only need to take the KTM to KL Sentral and have a 10 minutes walk to my college. Besides that, right now I finally am able to participate in co-curricular activities..... I have been longing for it after 10 weeks of complete boredom....

The theme of 'study,study,study' is kind of over right now. Although the system in this college kind of mirror the secondary school, I feel that this style suits me a lot. Really looking forward to the next few weeks, haha.

My old self is getting back again. I am looking forward to each trip to school. This feeling is so pleasant to have I guess...

That's it for now, I am kind of looking forward to the Merdeka holidays, I am sure we will be able to meet up haha.

Frustration yet again....

Can't believe it......... Arghhh whatever assignment that I am doing now is just so me. I am the dictator of every single thing. It is just so not the purpose of doing an assignment. Haiz.

All the stuff that had been sent to me is just so messed up and so not cohesive that I had to edit almost every single part. Hey, looking back you guys were just awesome in doing the assignments. Kind of regretting that I didn't appreciate your efforts back then. haha.

I guess that is life, you can't expect everything to be perfect. True, not every member is bad, but still the bad ones are just too much to cope with. One phrase I learnt in Form 3 still etched deeply in my mind, ' things don't always go the way you want it to be, but you have to make the best out of the things turned out.'

I just have to best use whatever that I possess and turn it into something that I deem to be the best. Then I could have look back and say, I have tried my very best. Although I am trying hard not to be a lone crusader, but I guess sometimes I just have to do things myself.

I have learnt something truly important the last 6 months, that is don't expect others to give you a hand all the time, you just have to rely on your own abilities and capabilities. Only then, you can be completely independent......

It has been a long while since we yumcha together, maybe we should have it during the upcoming school holidays, guys please make yourself available during that period!

I guess that is it for now..... I feel like I am venting my anger over here.:p Hope you guys don't get bored reading my frustration all the time. haha.

The light at the end of the tunnel?

I don't know how things will finally end but one thing is for sure, I am garnering for a switch to some other university. Sounds like I am escaping from something right? haha.

I guess I just had enough of this horrendous environment..... Throughout the entire duration, I hadn't for once felt like going to the college. Primarily because I had nothing to look forward to other than misery. Can't seem to believe how it had really changed me. Before that, I was always looking forward to school, but right now it always seems like staying home is the better option.

Hopefully when I have switched if I ever do, I will see the better things of college. So, right now which college should I choose? Somehow my parents suggests that I go to Nottingham Uni. But right now got a lot of things to consider as it is not a direct entry into the college. They say to enter the September intake would need to see results or something like that, then they will see whether to accept or not.

Haiz right now thinking what if they don't accept??? Then got to endure another 2 semesters or suffering and pain and misery. T.T

Why is life so rough? How nice it would be if it was just a smooth plane to glide through.....

That's it for now.... Will blog more about it later......

Going Nuts

Arghh, the pressure is just too much my brain is about to ......BOOM! Splatter

Something like that to describe myself right now. Sounds scary right? Haha. Just my feelings only, no worries I am not going to implode.

But to be honest, the last few weeks was a little too much for me. At one point I felt like I was at the brink of insanity. At that moment, there was just a fine line separating me from that. Luckily I am still sane till now (although I am not sure about that). So let me know if you guys noticed that I am acting a little weird. haha.

Phew, the work load is immense and right now I am rushing to complete my assignments. Damn, things are just so tough right now as the group members I am working with now is just so different. Haiz....... Missing you guys so much right now. T.T.

Just ignore me if you think I am crazy haha. Where is the real me? At this moment I can't find it.... Living under an emotionless husk, that is what I am right now.... Empty......

Doing a little soul searching right now wonder when I can find it....... Don't think it is soon though.... I guess that's it for now, I 'll blog more when I can find the time.....

I am so emptyyyyy........

Isolated......

Ever since I set foot on this university, things are just not quite the same anymore. Truth is, I really miss my friends.... Miss the moments where we share jokes and our thoughts....

Over here I feel pretty lonely, as there isn't anyone who I can share my thoughts with. Everyone is so alien, I don't really feel 'home' whenever I am there. It just doesn't feel right.... How I wish things would change, but I guess I just have to find some ways to adapt to it.

It is tough, and I don't like it. I don't get that happy feeling most of the time... Wonder where the cheerful me went... Haiz, that is just a part of life I guess....

Hey guys I really look forward to yumcha with you guys le. Quick set a date so we can have an outing!

One Hell Of A Day!

Okay, let me just start with this crazy day.... At first everything was pretty smooth, I took the KTM to KL Sentral then LRT to Asia Jaya. The moment I reached there, I saw a UTAR bus just passed by. Damn it! I cursed under my breath, then the crazy day starts.....

Today was the registration day for me at UTAR. I was supposed to go to the PD block to register. The last time I went to the other blocks, so this time I was really clueless on where I should head to. So, I took the same usual bus and headed to there like a headless chicken..... Luckily, I saw a few people which I presumed that they are going to the same place as me.

Actually I shouldn't use the word luckily. Because they were as clueless as I was. The.... I asked them on the bus where are you guys going to stop? Then they answer me that they don't know. Then I asked again after a while, when you plan to stop? Then they again say no idea.

All of a sudden, we realised we were kind of far off. Instinctively, because we don't know where we were at that time. Then we decided to get down the bus and just navigate our way there..... A few other people joined us because they thought we knew the way, in the end we were like idiots walking around in circles.

Luckily, I had the brains not like those idiots!!! I really hate them! I took out a map given by UTAR and started searching for landmarks. Phew, within minutes I found the road we were in and started walking towards that elusive block.

Then, time to register myself at the counter. What a long wait as there were about 600 students registering that day. Haiz. I was so hungry then.... I wanted to eat my bread but they were talking and talking and talking and talking........... Argghhhhh I wanted to get out of there at that moment. Wanted to shout curses at them.

Damn them all!!!!! I was going crazy at that time. Finally after some stupid integrity talk, something about girlfriend, boyfriend and the not to do thingy we were released for lunch. But the time allocated for us was hardly enough! By the time I bought my chicken rice, it was already 1.15pm and we were supposed to be back by 1.30pm.

Truth be told I was pretty lucky to get my lunch as it was almost the last 'kopek'. I kind of pity the others who had to starve..... Then it is back into the hall and more talks more talks and more talks....... I was yawning all the time and the tears that flowed in my eyes were killing me. So damn acidic. It forced me to kind of squint my eyes and I think the way I squinted at people kind of frightened them. haha.

I wasn't even talking to anyone so they kind of think of me as a freak I guess. By the end of the day I was so exhausted I barely even managed to raise my hand for the oath reading. After that all ended, it was time to figure out how to get back. I kind of managed to find a bus stop thanks to those idiots. Then I took a cab to the LRT station and got back home......after being in the packed trains......

Right now I am so tired, exhausted. I can barely find the right words to describe the horrendous situation I went through today..... What a crazy day!! I am started to hate it even though it was just the first day of college. Haiz.

Just some thoughts in my mind.....

Well, well. Really can't believe how fast time flies. Just a moment ago I thought I just finished my SPM examination. Reflecting back, it seems like a distant memory. Events after events pass by, from working to playing to holidaying and preparing to start college. Just wondering if time will ever stop for a moment. But I guess it waits for no one.

Right now it is already the middle of the year but yet I have not started college. Feeling kind of left behind..... Everyone has already set off gaining invaluable knowledge while I still sit on my couch watching TV all day long. Few more days left and I am off to college.... Really thinking of how I will adapt there. Truth be told, it was really one hull of a task for me to actually let go of my friends. My heart was pretty heavy back then, and it still is right now.

However, that part of life taught me something very important. Departure is always hard but it is something I have to accept and move on with my life. All of us still can be best of friends but we can't be together as often as we did back then that's all.

Meeting new friends, not something easy to do. I remember how cautious I was back then, don't even dare to open up to my friends until 4 years later. Haha. I guess that is just a typical me. I don't really know whom I can trust.

Don't get me wrong it's not like I think that the whole world is against me or anything. All right, back to the preparation of college. I guess the first thing I need to learn is how to sleep earlier and get up earlier. Hopefully college would be an absolutely relax life. haha. I have to admit I more incline to the lazy side of mine.

After being on sabbatical for err 6 months was it? Finally, I get to study again. If I don't study I work, so I prefer studying haha that's why I make it sound so pleasurable. Besides studying, I get to play my guitar which is quite fun or funny, depending on how I play it. Haha.

Studying at UTAR isn't some choice that I have due to financial difficulty, how I wish I could venture into the other parts of the world. Despite feeling cornered up at one stage of my life, I guess it is up to me to make the best out of things right now. Feeling kind of down at the moment for no reason at all.

Ermmmm, feeling kind of hard to pen down my feelings and thoughts right now...... So, that's it for now. I will try to share my thoughts with you guys the next time.

College is not a bed of roses.....

Last Sunday, I went to the Utar campus in PJ to make sure I know how to get there. Well, what I realised was going to college isn't as fun or as easy as it seemed to be. From my home, I went to the Tasik Selatan train station. Then from there I waited for about 30 minutes before finally able to board the darn train.

Speaking of frustration... This is just the beginning. Once I reached KL Sentral, I needed to switch to the LRT. Really makes me wonder, why can't the government just build a cohesive transport system? Rather than switching rides here and there. I guess this is just another example of how inept our government is.

From KL Sentral, I took the LRT to Asia Jaya and from there, I had to take the rapid KL bus to Utar. After stopping at the bus stop I need to walk quite a distance before finally reaching my intended destination.

Sounds complex? That is just how screwed up our transport system is. It really got up to my nerves. Darn it! The whole trip from my house to the college took a whooping 2 hours. So, a day to and fro would take me 4 hours. I really can't believe I need to waste so much time getting to college.

Well, but that is life.....college life...... Hopefully things will only get brighter. Haiz, darn those wrecthed officials.........

Guitar lesson ( first day)

Today is my first guitar lesson. Finally get to learn some real stuff rather than strumming that guitar like an idiot all day long. haha. So, the first thing we learnt (I said we because I am learning with Wei Ming ) was playing the song 'Bubbly'.

I messed up quite a number of times, I just don't know how to switch chords yet. Wei Ming was doing excellent I could see. So sad... Beaten by him once again.... T.T

Okay back to playing that song. Actually I kind of rate myself as good because by the time I reached home I was able to play it quite convincingly. So pretty impressed with myself. The first time I am able to play something pleasant to hear haha. Okay that's it for now. I need to go on strumming my guitar. As they say practice makes perfect!

Another fall.....

Today's the day I know that I had failed to secure the JPA scholarship. Sad.... devastated.... I just can't find the right word to describe my feelings right now........

Truth is, I kind of get over it pretty quickly, probably because I had this premonition that I won't get it earlier. Well, don't be mistaken I am not claiming I am a psychic of any sorts, just that the stats tell the story. I am going to be an actuarian someday, so statistics is something I have to believe in.....

To those who had failed, don't be too upset. This is just another hurdle that we jumped and felled. Instead of crying and sulking, let's pick ourselves up and come out stronger and tougher the next time. To me I have something to prove to myself, that I can succeed on my own..... and I will succeed, just you wait and see.

I'm free, I'm free!!!!

Well, well. Today is the day where I am finally free from the shackles of work! Hooray!!! What a coincidence, today is also labour's day. Haha. Maybe it is actually a perfect day to quit my job. Looking back, it kind of feel odd. I can still remember my first day at work....and now, I am not working anymore. Time flies doesn't it? Till today I still can't solve the mystery of time.

So, as you may guess I am pretty free from today onwards. Haha, what should I do? Kind of clueless at the moment. But at least I have something to look forward to, my guitar lessons. Surprised huh? Don't worry you are not alone, but I somehow delevop an interest towards it. Don't ask me how, because I don't think I can really give you an answer. Haha.At the moment I still can't play it. But strumming it still feel kind of fun.

My college is actually around a month from now, so it is still a long time to go. As for the JPA scholarship, I am praying damn hard for it. Hopefully, I can secure it, but there are plenty of buts. As I have mentioned just hope and pray. Haha.

Okay, the bottom line is I am very very very free, so if any of you have any spare time for me, maybe we can go out for a drink or something. Just page me if you are interested. Haha. That's it for now I guess.

Prize Giving Ceremony day.....

Finally, the actual pay day has come and guess what I was really looking forward to it. Once again, I browsed through my closet but there wasn't really many for me to choose from. So for the I can't remember how many times, I had to wear my apple green shirt. To be honest, I don't really think that this colour suit me, I longed for those in dark colour but my father always say there is no need to buy because of blah blah blah.....

The next time, I really don't care about that anymore, because I am really tired of that shirt! Okay, back to the prize giving day. I could imagine everyone was all smiles even before I set foot on my former school. By the time I reached there, it was around 7.45am. The first of my friend that I met was Chin Yang, kind of envy his dressings I guess, he looked so good in it. Then my heartache compounded, YL was great in his shirt as well, and Wei Ming was even suave. I don't know if I am too critical of myself but what do the rest of you think of me in that apple green shirt?

Then, the usual procession began, speech by those VIPs, and then performances and something else. I don't really know much because I spent most of the time chatting and talking. Kind of fun catching up with my old friends, not literally old. They said something about our school getting the top results in the Addmath subject in WPKL.....

And then, the long awaited moment had arrived. It was time to receive the awards..... My number was 14, so I had to wait for a while. But the interesting part was, a few moments before the SPM students turn, many of us weren't present yet. Many had went to eat their breakfast, so we had to call them back ASAP. Kind of funny seeing some of them having to rush back just in time to receive their awards. Haha.

This is me taking the award from some pengarah

Then I found out that I got RM 250 for my efforts. But I really wasn't satisfied when I found out that a straight As student get 300 regardless of your A1 as long as you get all As. What kind of rules is that? Where is justice???? I had never felt so insulted in my life. Anyways, I am not really that kind who fuss about this. So, I took some pictures with my friends and after that it was time to yumcha. Haha.Hmm, initially I had 2 choices either to follow Yuen Lye to times square or Grace. In the end, I chose to follow Grace because I don't think I wanted to go so far. So, I kind of joined the S2 gang. We spent pretty much time talking and chatting with formal teachers at the school, we also took a few bites. Haha.

I can't really remember what we talked about.... My mind was a little distorted recently. Then we went to Pizza Hut to take or lunch. At first I thought I was still to yumcha, but when I realised that it was already 12 something, it was time for lunch. Well, they ordered something I don't know what. But I just ate that's all. Since I was surrounded by so many S2 ppl, I don't have much to talk except with Chin Yang. Grace was sitting at the other end of the table and those I had something to talk was also at the other end.

So, I end up listening to them talking about mountain hiking, working in Germany, netbook and stuff. After a while, we finished, and then we asked the waitress to take photos for us. Right after she finished taking our pics, something funny happenned. Everyone was saying let's go, let's go. Then we realised something, we haven't pay the bill yet. Then we quickly called for it. Imagine if we really had left at that moment. We would probably hit the headlines entitled 'Top achievers with loads of money in hand left without paying at Pizza Hut'. Hahahaa. I can't stop laughing.

After that it was time to bid adieu to all my friends. Well, I did went back to the school for a while and then I went back home for a resting after a long outing..... This day was kind of okay.... haha. A good laugh says it all.

Lang Tengah Trip (part 4)

Rrrrringggg...... Not again..... That pesky phone of Yuen Xun.... Shut it off already!!!!! The ringing phone of his broke the silence of the morning.... All right, got to pack up as today is the final day at this wonderful island.

Honestly, this day wasn't really eventful, so I try to cut it real short.... Hope you don't mind.... Hehe. Okay, right after we washed up our tiredness, we lazed through to the cafeteria to eat our final meal..... at the island. We are not dead yet.Haha. Truth be told, the food served that day was quite delicious, spaghetti, roti canai, urghhhh I can't remember. Damn. Wei Ming stop laughing.

Let's see..... Ah, right after that, we returned all the stuff that we borrowed and get all our deposits back. And by 9.00am, we when to the jetty and waited for the boat to pick us up. Luckily, we managed to get up to the first boat that arrived. Otherwise, we would be late for our bus back to Kl. Can't imagine getting stranded on Kuala Terengganu......

The small boat we got on transfered us to a bigger boat that was in the middle of the sea. Then, the boat started leaving the island.... The island got smaller and smaller and smaller, while the water got murkier and murkier and murkier.... Then the holiday mode was off. The reality started to set in. I am going back home to my usual life............

But near the end of the boat cruising journey, it was kind of scary. As far as I can remember, in Physics got something about diffraction of waves and stuff like that.... and guess what, the waves that pounded the boat was truly scary..... One nearly knock the boat upside down.... Luckily the guy was skilful enough to keep the boat balanced.

After that, we got back to Kt and we had our lunch in a hurry at KFC. When we finished our lunch, we quickly got on the bus. Phew.... Within minutes, the bus when off. Wow, I must say it is a close call indeed. Then, we headed off into the sunset, just like in the movies haha.

KK, that's all folks.... To view the pictures, please visit my facebook. I will upload more of the photos after I get them. Remember to come back to read my blog!!!! Thanks everyone.....^.^

JPA Interview

I woke up at around 5.45am by far the earliest in a decade..... Strangely enough I didn't feel tired instead I felt so awake... Quick! Go go go go, there is an interview for you to attend... I was rehearsing the introduction of it in my mind again and again.

After that I got dressed up in the formal way. Wow, I had never wore such a formal outfit before, looking so smart. Haha. By 6.30 am, we started off our journey to Putrajaya.

On the way there, everything seems so calm and relax, and I was repeating the same sentences over and over again in my mind..... Then came the nightmare. We were looking at one of the most confusing sign board on Malaysia. Suddenly we realised we had overshot a turning. Where is that darn turning? I was looking so attentively at those stupid sign boards but still, I couldn't see that Precint 5....

Panicking, my dad quickly find a turning back to Putrajaya, luckily we managed to find it. Wow, the whole thing was so scary, reversing against the traffic just to get into the turning. Omg, not now...... Since my mind was in disaray my stomach started cramping... Damn it why does it have to attack me at a moment like this......

The good thing was, we were already there! Hooray!!!! As we arrived there, I saw plenty of smart looking guys and gals, stroding towards the lift. Okay, at least I got there still in one piece. After that, we just follow the pack and go into the check in area. I found my name at the last panel, panel 15 number 11. I was initially surprised, because from what I heard, my other friends number wasn't that back....

I did try to see if anyone I know is there, but sadly none of them were there. I must say, some people were kind of odd.... Instead of wearing formal wear, they were so messy.... Strange but true.... But I ignore them of course.....

So, off I went into the panels. Mine was the last, so I went on confidently to the last panel. Hmm, when I reached there, I was kind of dumbfounded, I didn't see any chinese guys like me. So, where should I sit? Dah, why bother to sit with them? In the end, I decided to sit on my own.... The solitary guy.... The lone crusader haha....

As I wasn't in the first group, I still had ample time preparing for my interview. Got to go to the washroom again.... Then the secretary lined 5 of us up and get us all prepared. Okay, now I know who would be my fellow err, 'enemies'.

Rather than fighting against them, I tried befriending them all. Well, let me introduce them all. The first was a Chinese girl who is applying for law, the second was also a Chinese girl who was applying for Chemistry, the third was a Malay boy who was applying for engineering, the four one was me who was applying for actuarial science,and the last one was a Chinese girl who was applying for biotechnology.

After waiting for around an hour, finally it is our turn...there were 3 panels, 1 Indian and 1 Malay guy and another Malay lady.

I told myself don't panic, don't!!! But in the end I still panicked.... Haiz.... At first they started with the introduction in Malay. We were told to talk about our family course applied and the country we chose and why. So, the interview started..... As we introduced ourselves, the panel did shoot us with some question. I managed to answer them pretty convincingly as I had done my research. But the others wasn't that lucky. Apart from that law girl, the others were totally clueless about their courses. The malay boy was the worst. He chose mechatronics because his friends choose it and he gave out wrong facts......

Then we proceeded into the group discussion. The question they come out with was ' Girls are getting better than boys in school' do you agree? Obviously, we all had our own opinions.... We were given 3 minutes to discuss the topic among ourselves and guess what? I received the strongest resistance from that law girl..... Well, she had to do good in this if she wants to be a lawyer I guess....

After that, we all found out we screwed it up. The panel said, why can't both of them be on par? All your minds have to be open of you want to go overseas.... Shit!!!! We all knew we fell for the bait.... Then he asked us to name 1 leader of the opposite gender. The first name that popped into my mind was Pharoah Hatshepsut.... Then he said I should go first, so I just blapped it all out. After that, the Malay guy followed me again and named Cleopetra and he messed it up again... he know nothing about her! The girls followed suit.

Then came the last session, they asked us if you were given the same course locally would you take the scholarship? Everyone in the room said yes, I was the only one that said, I would consider it. Brave huh? I just want to send the message that I really want the overseas one. Well, that is all. But I think my chances are slim as they mentioned that my course was not critical and this year they are a lot of actuarial science applicants.

Hope that this help whoever that is yet to get the interview.......

Lang Tengah Trip Part 3

What is that stupid noise???? I wasn't aware of where I was on that morning, after a while I came to realise that I was on that island. Can't I sleep longer? Oh damn, the breakfast is at 7 better get up before the food snaps up. So, off we went washing up.

Okay time to inspect the food. Nasi lemak??? I thought they would serve something better. Whatever just eat it. After eating for a while, we finally finished it. Off we go back to our room. There is one thing though, I can't comprehend how a few couples manage to eat all of their meals in swim wear...... Don't they feel naked? Or they just wanted to show off their unimpressive figure?

At 10, it was time for jungle trekking, that is what they called it anyway. So we went off exploring the entire island. Honestly, apart from going up and down, there wasn't much of a sight to see. Some big trees, huge ant nest, spiders, butterflies, and before we know it, voila! We arrived at a place known as the Cat's Eye or something... Quite a magnificent view out there, blue skies, blue sea.

Right after that, we didn't participate in anymore activities... The day was just too searing hot. I must say our decision certainly was the right one... We slept in the room for nearly 4 hours if I am not mistaken... Can't blame us, we are city boys mah, very lam de. After we woke up, we played mahjong, and carrom until around 5, then we realise it is tea time. By the time we reached the cafeteria, all the food was gone. Haiz, one precious meal wasted. Nooooo......

Then off we went into the night, before dinner yl and yx got some pictures of the island snapped and then we when off to eat our dinner. We created some pictures of the comedian from the watchmen using our food. Haha. Just for a laugh.

After that we went off playing mahjong again. Oh yeah, about the snorkelling trip we missed, I saw a guy with his arms and neck totally red, omg I was so relieved at that time. Phew, I could have burned myself to dead had I went on to the trip.

Mahjong, mahjong, mahjong. Until Brian can't take it anymore and he went to sleep. Then all of us went sleeping... ZzzzZ another night at the rustic island... What a wonderful day!

Lang Tengah Trip Part 2

As we arrived there, I could sense that everyone in the boat was feeling very miserable. Probably because of being soaked in sea water for so long.... But little did I know that I was about to get soaked in that foul water for another few hours... Arghhhhh

Then we went to the check in counter and put down all our stuff. Everyone was busy washing their feet, clothes, trousers, and so on. Sounds kinda crazy right? I guess so.... Then one guy gathered everyone around and gave us all a briefing about how things work around there. Meals are buffet-eat-all-u-want style, and drinks are also drink all u want style. But there wasn't much of a drink to really gulp down....

The next few moments were probably the one that I hated the most.... As everyone else started checking in, we were the only one waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for that stupid room to be cleaned up. During that wait, we managed to get a few games of pool, haha. At least I managed to show off some of my pooling skills.

Finally, we were able to get into the room! But lunch had already started, so I had no choice but to take my lunch first. So darn annoying... But at least I can replenish my lost energy...

After that we took our bath. But before we could really lie down and rest, it was time to go snorkelling... Haiz what a restless day... Off we go to the other island, to snorkel here and there...

At first it was pretty pleasant, looking down at the corals, well first time looking at real corals haha. But soon after that the nightmare starts. Not exactly nightmare, but it was pretty scary. One moment I was looking down into the water, then when I lifted my head, I was totally surrounded with err, sea creatures.... Ahhhhh, just like in the horror movies.

Anyway I didn't care much about it, afterall I wouldn't want to waste this opportunity just because of some itchy sea creatures... So I went on snorkelling anyway. In the end my rashes did inflamed but the sight was worth it...

Then we got on the boat and went back to our island...I got some sleep once again... I was really so damn sleepy on that day. But ironically, I didn't go to sleep too early on that day. I guess it is because I wanted to enjoy the rustic environment of the island, free from the hustle and bustle of the city... So enjoyable, relaxing....

I must say, they food they cook here was delicious, and I mean it. Really just took everything in sight and start gobbling down... hahaha. Then we boorrowed their mahjong set and spent all of our waking hours playing it... And then it is off to bed... ZzzzzZ

What a pleasant day.....

Lang Tengah Island Trip

Well, well. After working for almost 2 months finally, it is time to chill off... On the 15 of March, I and 4 of my friends, Yuen Lye, Yuen Xun, and Brian went to the Lang Tengah Island for a vacation.

We had planned to take the midnight bus ride from kl to kt so that we could pretty much spend the whole day on the island rather than wasting one whole day on the bus. We took the 10 pm bus, and for a very very very long time I actually go to 'bed' by 11 pm. I tried to sleep but it was almost impossible... It was raining outside at the time... So, creepy images started to creep up into my mine, you know those freaky accidents involving buses... But I tried not to think about it too much...
Arriving at KT pretty dark at that time...

Ugh... the seat was just horrendous and entirely not suitable for sleeping. My back was killing me every time I tried to sleep. In the end I did manage to get some sleep, but it was like sleeping for an hour then waking up again, sleeping for another and waking up again... torture... at that moment I really hoped that this trip was worth the misery...

By 5 am the next day, we arrived safely at Kuala Terengganu. And guess what, for the first time I saw what an Islamic state was... I saw the big batu bersurat terengganu somewhere during the journey. Speaking of cultures, I really know so little about it even in my own country...

Then, we tried contacting the person in charge of bringing us to the jetty. At that moment I really felt a little frustrated as we don't know how the person looked like or what he was driving, so the time waiting was pretty err darn frustrating...

Luckily within I can't remember how long later, we finally boarded the bus. Up in the bus, it was much more comfartable sleeping compared to the initial bus. So, we manage to get some lost sleep back ( it wasn't enough) , so we were a little fresher by the time we reached the jetty.

At the jetty it was all down to waiting again... Honestly it was pretty frustrating at the beginning as we were spending most of our time waiting and waiting and waiting... After about an hour, the boat was finally ready and we were itching to get to that island.

Alright now the interesting part started to come alive. At the riverbank, the waves was pretty strong and huge, the biggest I had ever seen. Well, the first two waves we encountered was ok, as the boat easily soared through it. Then came the third wave, how should I describe this..... One moment we thought it was just another wave, the next, we were all drenched in cold water. Looking on the bright side, at least we got our err morning 'bath'.
Being in the boat...

Then silence ensued the entire boat, some was down right scared and they were hugging each other as if doom day is coming. As for me I just tried to get some sleep, while enjoying the first boat ride of my life... Pretty fun I must say. I'll post more about the trip on the next post so remember to come and read my blog from time to time... To view the photos courtesy of Yuen Lye and Yuen Xun please go to my facebook and see them.

SPM results......

Pay day is here!!!! If you know what I mean of course. Today was one heck of a day I must say. Before reaching school I was so eager to get into it. But once there, I was so afraid of taking the result.

After lining up for what seemed like a century, finally I got it. Dah well, guess what? I got 10 A1s, 1 A2 and 1 B3. Honestly, I was a little disappointed. I can't believe it didn't materialise. My target was 11 A1s, as high as always... But this time I just got a little trip, yeah I did fell but I suppose I didn't sustain major damage. Well, it is time to pick myself up and move on, that is the way it is...

As for the outing, it was pretty fun. At first the girls were with us, but due to time constraint, some had to go back earlier. So, it turned out to be a all-guys affair after all... Haha. We caught 'The Watchmen'. Although the show was ok, but I find it a little gross and violent. I mean the Dr. Manhattan was just blowing people to smitherins with a snap of a finger. It kinda made me wonder why hadn't he just blow everyone into pieces, and dominate the world...

All good things must come to an end, after catching up with some of my friends, I guess it is back to my life again... But I would like to thank everyone for participating in this outing... Thanks guys!!!

Aiming for the Juggular?

Seems like a century ago since I last blogged... Can't be helped I guess, pinned down by the desire to work... But truth be told, I never would have imagine myself in this position months ago...

I guess time changes everything... Instead of sitting in front of my ps2 smacking those buttons on the controller, I am actually having a thirst for knowledge...

Today's the day my best friend came back, and I guess I am having a nice conversation with him. Planning what movie to watch tomorrow, haha. While some are sweating over the results, we are actually planning on what to watch... Ironic right?

Well, tomorrow's the so call 'big day' or 'Judgement day' but I don't care. It will just be another great outing for me with my friends. So, what movie will it be? Race To Witch Mountain? DragonBall? or the Street Fighter ? It doesn't matter, as long as I have a great time with my friends.

Truly, I can't wait for tomorrow, I am so anxious to see all of them again... How long have it been already? Probably 3 months. That's a long time, a very long time... I will cherish tomorrow more simply because it may be the last time I see some of my friends...

One thing's for sure, tomorrow is going to be one heck of a day! See you guys and gals tomorrow!!!

A Small Reunion...

Just as I came back from JB I quickly unloaded my stuffs. I had my 'date' later that day, so I had to be quickly prepared. But I had around 5 hours to do so, so I guess it is not really a rush. I still had ample time to take a nap. It's 5!!! Finally, I can't believe it is actually materialising as I had not seen my friend for more than a whole month... Kind of a odd feeling since we used to see each other everyday... I must say this feeling is kind of strange... When you get to see them everyday you take them for granted, but when they are a distant away you start to miss them.

Enough of that already, back to the story line. Err, where was I again? Oh yeah, my dad sent me to leisure mall together with another of my friend, xyz. After we stroll around the mall like headless chicken. I was searching for the gents room as my bladder was rahter full... And when I asked him where we were going, he asked me back where I was going... Duh... In the end we rounded the first floor...

Finally, we met up with Yee Hong, and we waited and waited and waited for Wei Ming. I was finding it ironic as he was the one who reminded me to be at there at 5 earlier that day. After a longgggggg wait, he arrived. Haha. he didn't seem much different when I took a glanced at him. Really, I was expecting a bald guy but his hair was like usual. Until he took off his cap of course. But still nothing much to laugh about except that he looked like some old man...(no offence, seriously)

Then we 'yamcha' and had a nice and pleasant chat. Honestly at that moment, I was just glad that he was willing to come out and spend some time... At around 6.30 I think we went to Yee Hong's clan I think that is called. Well, the guys and gals there aren't too bad, at first we were rather bashful but later we got into the flow of things.

I meet a rather interesting guy named LRoy, I said that because he left the biggest impression in my mind... He said some deep stuff that I don't even know that I understand or not, but some words did get into my thick skull... At least after that night, I allowed my conscience to take over... I am not sure if I ever will be able to meet up with those people again as I want to have a good chat with them... Parental control that is one of my major concern...

A great night, and Wei Ming is now back at his camp. By reading his blog he really made NS sound so interesting... To be honest I have second thoughts about it too, but destiny didn't choose me to be a part of it. Maybe I'll view this as a missed opportunity in the future, but I take everything in my life the positive way. That's just the way I am... Until next time we meet again wm, I shall keep you in mind. 'It not how often we see each other that matters, it is how often we think of each other that counts' Hayner (Kingdom Hearts 2) You'll always be in my mind.....

The festive season

Chinese New Year had just zoomed past in just a few milliseconds it seems. That's just a figurative description so don't think I am losing my mind please... Ah well, 2 weeks ago everyone I mean everyone I know was so enthusiastic about the up coming lunar new year.

In a blink of an eye, (I know it sounds cliche but please just bear it with me) Chinese New Year is here, and we are all eating the reunion dinner together... This time of the year there was a new err... guest who came to join in the fun. Malcolm that's the new guy, I don't know much about him but I think he is kind of okay. Well it just made our celebration much merrier I guess......

During the festive season as usual we play and gamble and guess what, I actually won quite a considerable amount of money... haha. I played blackjack, mahjong, and jinrami, and won in all three events haha. Incredible right?

Aside from gambling, we also went visiting as it is part of a custom? I am not sure about that part.

See that cute girl? haha that is my niece, Catherine. Ah well, she isn't bashful at all I must say. Entertaining each and every one of us with her funny little moves... ^^

After that I went to JB to visit my grandparents... At there it was rather boring I must say as there wasn't much things to play nor anyone to talk to. I spent most of the time watching tv and smsing my best friend Wei Ming. Sounds boring right? I can't deny that...

Finally, Saturday came and it is time to go home. Once back home I was set to go off again as I had a 'date' with my friends haha. About the 'date' I 'll put it in another post...
