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!!!
