Fuhhh..

Blogging I have not been for quite time some. I've when stopped long for too blogging, hard it's to start again. So many there are things in mind my. Don't know which one I posted wanted to. Random stuffs I'll post and talk here about.

One there's is which the 1st Ipoh Company, Boys' Brigade 20th Anniversary Gala Dinner. The dinner I had to say awesome that was. So long after, got I to see the Guard of Honour (GOH). Also I get to see a lot seniors of mine who never we meet in a long time very. The food although was nice not that, the feeling old friends to meet was awesome. Chatting, joking and eating overall was fun. And been it's a long long time since sang I BB Anchor and BB Vesper. Remember I still that I'm proud. Pictures and memories tonnes of flashed through mind my. Nostalgic. Dinner after photo session we had. Not bad not bad. Continued on to 'Tong Sui Kai' for tong sui and nostalgic experiences and memories by Chee Khoon. 

Then, headed I to KL with brother my and grandma. KL trip the is not bad after all. Managed I to visit my the-new-will-be-renovated-house of my aunty. Awesome it was. Went there we to purposely have steamboat  at night on the floor. And played I hide-and-seek with my cousins. Another nostalgic game of mine. Game my to kill time when young I am where there was no computer, iPad, Blackberry and handphones. 

Managed I go to Viva Home to watch movie, Zookeeper, and played in the kid's playground. HAHAHAHA. Sleeping in a 'cage' full of balls. I saw in sales macaroons there and cheap it is. Buy wanted to but in the end didn't. Zookeeper the movie is funny and not bad. Hilarious it was. Also I get to play PS3 for the first time. Tiring it was but fun. Seriously fun when it comes to boxing with my brother. hahaha!! Still I can laugh now about it. Numb arms played until with both controllers on both of my hands. 

Just yesterday, wind blew super strong like a tornado. Room the I was sleeping in was windy with the horrifying sound of the wind. Hardly I can open the door of my room. Like it's someone pulling from the outside of the door. Once open, went it 'BAM' and close back. Fuhhh... One hell of an experience. 

And there's my KL trip. Now I'm back to where I belong. :)

Isle of Tortuga

We as earthlings, weak and fragile, always do face problems and disappointments. Others always tell us to forgive and forget, but I tell you to remember it and take it as a lesson for your life. A lesson, experience of life, that will definitely help to make us better. That's what matters.

Okay, back to the main point.

I'm still stranded in Kuching. Currently shaking my legs as if like I had finish my finals. But the fact is, I still got 1 more paper next week. What a weird university where we started our final exam last week but having a week break starting today. Gawai holiday, the most important celebration here throughout the year. Maybe that's why. Talking about final, I think I screwed up my maths paper. The toughest math paper I sat so far in this university. Now I even doubt myself that I can pass that subject. *face down*

Friends around are leaving one by one, back to their hometown. I'm still wondering whether is it a good thing or a bad thing. Wait for my last paper then only I will be consider as a free man then.

I have to admit that I'm in love with Pirates of the Caribbean movie and also Jack Sparrow's song. Both are just too nice and addictive. I suddenly fall in love with so many things. Or I should say food in exact. Food that I never try before until now. And one another thing, I think I'm fatter compared to my old self which is not a good thing at all. Duhhh.. I hate you, fats....

Let me just continue shaking my legs.. Adios and see ya in the next post.

Hello

After 3 continuous days of tests and assignments, there is finally a bit time for me to take a breath from those works. Almost all assignments are coming to an end. That means, final is coming and also, holidays. I really wish that this sem will finish as soon as it can be so that I can enjoy 3 months of holidays. Thanks to the messy system of Swinburne, we finally know that we do not need to take winter sem. DaDaDa.... Good thing or a bad thing, I won't know for sure yet.

I can't seems to get the feeling and enjoyment of blogging yet. Maybe I'm too lazy or maybe I'm not really in that kind of mood. I do not know why am I thinking that way, but tiny little thoughts will eventually appear in my mind. I've thought of a good way to describe it, a creative mind. It teaches and trains me about creativity, one thing I'm lacking in. There are things that I'm lacking in but I wanted to try to be a better person. There are always times you wanted to do whatever that you like. But you know that it ain't gonna happen. Things just won't go to the way that you want it to be. Things are never smooth like you think. There is just this barrier that I can't go through myself. It's just too hard to go through myself. When I'm down, there will always be someone beside me to be with me.

There seems to be so many things that I want to blog but because there are TOO MANY of it, it stops me. Maybe I'll be back when I feel like blogging or when I got the mood of blogging again.

A little catching up

Human are just creatures that never can be satisfied. No matter how much they had received, they will never ever say enough for what they have. When they received something, they will begged for more. That's how pathetic human can be. That's how selfish human can be. But we as human being can't be blamed because we are just imperfect creature though we claimed to be the most advanced creature in this planet.

'An idle brain is the best place for Satan' ~ How true this statement can be. No matter how much I've been keep telling myself that I had changed, the true fact is that I never change. The same old me is still in me, taking charge of me though not completely. The same stupid and childish thinking still haunt me till today. Feelings are just hard to control. But I want to say now that I WANT TO CHANGE. I want to be in-charged back of myself. I want to control my feeling instead of letting my feeling to control me.

The one day KL shopping trip was tiring but rather nice. One thing to be remembered, the money I spent on food was more than I spent on my clothes. There was this bunch of friends (who are quite irritating) sat on the same train and monorail from Ipoh to KL and from KL Sentral to Times Square. How coincidence yet irritating that was. Another coincidence fact was we met up in the train back to Ipoh with my old friends who were in the way back from Singapore. One of the EXTREMELY tall friend of mine joke all the way back to Ipoh, joking loudly as if the whole train was ours. *come take picture come take picture ~ kampai* that's what he always shouted. How amusing that was. I was trying so hard to opened my eyes and close my nose to listen to him.

Tg. Tualang seafood lunch was indeed a nice one. It's not only about the food I consumed but the time I spent with my Form6 friends who I had lost contact for so long. The food and especially crabs were definitely finger licking good. That's no doubt about it.

The result is out today. I don't expect much but then thank God for everything, the unexpected result. One thing I won't forget, never to compare with others no matter what. This time result publication wasn't that happy to me because of something. I feel sad but then as you said, happy is better than being sad. Cheer up no matter what happen as I'm here, always. SMILE.

Now I'm waiting for that time to come , the time when we'll be able to meet again. :-)

The Time as it is...

Once upon a time,
when things were seems to be perfect,
thoughts will eventually appear in your mind,
like tiny little plants growing from the ground,
but as Time passes,
it will be gone without you noticing.

Time became as important as gold to human,

racing and rushing because of it,

but because of time,

things change, living and dead,

though people might notice it,

nothing will they do,

as they claimed it is the process of life.

Houses are meant to be shelter of life,
serve for a purpose to keep warmth around,
but when the purpose is neglected,
spaces in it will remained as spaces as it is,
as Time passes,
tiny little solid dirt will build up,
dust as we human called it,
covered each and every corner of it,
leaving gap in between of the living and the dead.

New houses will be in attention,
old houses will remained empty as it is,
continue to be forgotten as it is,
but yet nothing can they do,
as human claimed it is the process of life,
leaving the old and moving ahead with a new beginning.

That's what Time meant to be,
as it serves its purpose.

A short trip to KL

Life is full of decision-making situation. Every single moment we might have to make decision and we have to live with the result that might came out of it. There is no good or bad, wise or stupid decision. Every decision lead us to different direction in our life. Though there might not be good or bad decision but there are just some decisions that we make which we regret because the outcome of the decision might be awful and saddening.

I had this chance of following my aunty to KL a few days before Christmas but I had ignored it. The decision that made me regretted. I should have follow her to KL instead of staying in Ipoh. Noone will know why except you. This might be the most regretful decision that I had made before the beginning of a new year. I missed the chance of fulfilling my joy and excitement. Every night staring at the computer without having a chance to stare in reality was really saddening.

I went to KL just a few days after Christmas. This was really a short holiday in KL for me. And I celebrated New Year in KL. I celebrated New Year last year in Kuching and this year in KL. 2 consecutive years of celebrating New Year in a foreign land other that Ipoh. But this New Year was rather special to me. I get to celebrate New Year with someone that I had never celebrated New Year with. I get to.................................................. How amazing and nice it was though I was in KL.

This KL trip decision was rather sudden for me. I just decided to go 2 days before that. Main purpose there was to shop. I only managed to go to MidValley and Sunway due to the limited time. The main point was, all of my meal during my stay in KL were Japanese food. Incredible!! I'm becoming a Japanese guy.. The most incredible Japanese meal was in Rakuzen. I have to admit that the food there were extremely nice. The sashimi was awesome. It actually melts in my mouth without having me to chew it. It was so fresh and soft. YUMMY!! And not forgetting the incredible dessert - ice cream.. It was SUPER DELICIOUS!!! The green tea and chocolate ice cream. It was just like the size of your thumb. The taste of green tea was so extremely thick and NICE. The green tea ice cream was like covered with green tea powder and once you bite it, the powder will covered your teeth while the ice cream within the powder will melt and flow out. Awwwww!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

It's been like only 2 weeks but I feel like it's been years since I'm back.. Life is just torturing.

Ipoh, I'm back!!

That's how the end shall be. There goes my first semester for my first year. I never know degree life can be so hectic yet so relaxing. The word relaxing exists because of the nature of laziness in me and not because of degree life is really relaxing. Okay.. Back to the main point. Let's elaborate a bit of my weird degree life. This was perhaps the super weird one for me. There were a lot of things that happened during this semester. Too many..far too many.

Things weren't the same that I had expected. Or should I say 'we' instead of  'me' alone. We predicted things which basically went the opposite way. We expect that my unit will be the most quiet unit but eventually my unit became the center of attraction. Everything just went wrong..

It was not only that, studies was one hell of a thing for me to cope. 4 subjects - 1 subject was easier than expected, 1 subject was normal, 1 subject was hard and 1 more was crazily hard. Going through the 2 hardest subjects was the toughest of all. It's not easy at all especially the stupid Telecommunication subject.. All the acronyms don't make sense at all.. I would rather learn and use these kind of acronyms ~ CB, WTH, WTF, MH....oppssss.. Pardon me.. The lab for this subject was also a torturing one. Imagine doing something that you do not know what it is at all. It is so not cool at all. Going through the days during my university life was so torturing. During beginning of the sem - thinking of mid sem break. During mid sem break - thinking of final exam. During final exam - thinking of holidays. The timetable for my final exam was so not fair. My first exam was on the first day of exam for the whole university. Then the next paper was after 9 days of the first paper. This is so not fair. I cannot finish the exam earlier and go into holiday mood earlier compared to other people. On the night before my first paper, Benji and Vj were incredible, they blasted songs in my living room. It makes me totally not in an exam mood. How cool it was. So relaxing. Hahaha!!! The last paper was Programming and it was super torturing. During the preparation for this paper, I remembered I can't concentrate at all. My mind kept on thinking about what am I suppose to do during holidays. How wonderful it was!! And during the paper, the stupid room was superbly COLD!!!! The moment I stepped into the room and sat down on my seat, I started to shiver. And I survived through it. Some of those question I didn't even answer because my brain seriously frozen and can't think of anything. =D

After all those torturing moment, there were just some moment worth remembering. How interesting it can be. Talking about the beginning of everything was really funny. Gymnastic and football. This two types of sports are not related at all but yet it did this time. Guys without balls.. Hahaha!! Amazing.

I took Airasia flight back to west Malaysia early in the morning just because I need to attend a wedding dinner. I almost miss the wedding dinner thanks to Airasia ~ where everyone can fly LATE. I reached airport quite early that day and I stood there for around 1 hour for boarding. I saw them moving our luggages into the plane and in the next minute, they moved it out again. And I heard this annoying voice in the PA system saying, "Ladies and gentleman, the flight number AK5201 which will be boarding at 9.35am will be delayed to 12.40pm". The next thing that I heard was the sighing of all those passengers for that flight including ME!!! There was this lady standing beside me asking me what happen and I told her the exact thing that I know. And she told me she have an international flight to catch while I was whispering to myself that I HAS A DINNER TO CATCH!!! I was so frustrated that time. That delay caused me my bus back to Ipoh. Fortunately there was transport for me to go back to Ipoh on time for that dinner. I reached home around 6.30pm and went for dinner at 7.00pm. COol..

The dinner was quite awesome. I get to meet up with my ex-classmates and all my best friends. The best thing of getting back to Ipoh is meeting up with friends. After I went through so many things, those reflection and experiences... Nothing is better than those friends that I went through most of my secondary life with. They are the one that I should really really treasure. I'm awake. Sorry my friend.

The first few days in Ipoh were rather busy for me. I get to hang out with my friends. And one most important event that I went through with them was PAINTBALL!!! I was absolutely cool though painful. It was so so so exciting. Unfortunately, it was an unfair game as it was 3 against 2 where Steve, Wayne and Ben against me and Kok. I got shot a few times (thigh, wrist, head) and I ate the stupid paint.. EWWWW.. It was super BITTER.. YUCK!!! Wounds and bruises were all over my body. But the fun was worth it.

I remembered telling myself that I prefer football more than futsal. But eventually, I went futsal more than football since I came back here. Perhaps there are more friends playing futsal compared to football. I need more sports!!!! I'm getting fatter since I'm back. I can feel that and I can see that. OMG.. I shall put some effort on it.

And then CHRISTMAS!!! This year I get to come back to Ipoh and celebrate Christmas. Now I realized that the Christmas celebration in Ipoh was totally no match of Kuching. Next year I shall celebrate Christmas in Kuching instead of celebrating here. It was superbly boring here. Nothing special at ALL!!! Now it make me miss Kuching. What I'm trying to mean is only for Christmas celebration. At least there are more friends of mine celebrating Christmas where I can actually visit their house. COOL!!! Shepherd's pie which I remembered the most!!! YUMMY!!!!

This is the update for so far. Until then....See ya!!
~Missing as I always do~

Addiction....

I SURVIVE through a hard week. I know it's too early for me to be happy about surviving through it but I have to admit that there will be more to come. Quiz and tests were not easy at all.. Assignments and projects are torturing. Of all things, there will be always one thing that can make you happy. Cheers..

What can I say, green tea ice cream is just too nice for me to resist it. yummy!!!!!! One word to describe it...AWESOME..

Being fed with drugs is definitely not a nice thing. However, its addictive enough to make you keep doing it. There are just too many drug dealers around here. Drugs here are totally different from what we have in Peninsula.. Instead of the traditional way of making you addicted to cocaine or tobacco, they fed you with SONGS!!!! Yea, thats how pathetic they are.. They will DRUG you with SONGS.. Those songs are so addictive that you wouldn't live one second not singing that song in your mind. The effect is even stronger than those normal and typical cocaine.. I can say that I'm a drug addict now.. That is so not nice.. =/
Electropop hot, funk addiction when I can't stop~~~skin tight jeans~~~

In the time of war, people were deeply hurt from the inside out and outside in. Though bullets and fire could be seen everywhere but still, there will always be allies around to aid them. War and chaotic time will just happen without choosing its time, place and reason. And that was what happened during the WW2. What would happen to the WW3 that is coming soon??

It's not easy as inferiority complex had always been an issue but still I managed to pull myself up and geared it up. I didn't expect that I would do it but I did. I didn't expect that I have the courage to continue on but I did. Though things may seems a little bit lacking and messed up but still pull it up together. I mean what I meant. Yes, I mean it.. I'm just glad that I did. =)

The Festival of Light

Deepavali had just passed. However, I still want to wish all of you who are reading this Deepavali nalvaltugal and Diwali subakanchulu. Two new words that I learned from an Indian friend of mine. One which is in Tamil and one more is in tagalog. Cool....

Same country, different generation, different culture, different environment, different celebration. One of the most regular thing that we will do back in Peninsula with our parents is to visit their Indian friends who are having open houses while eating "murukku". Things were a bit different compared to last year and last time when I was in peninsula. Instead of visiting my dad's Indian friends and eating murukku, I actually celebrated or should I say went through Deepavali with my friends in cafe. 

The environment in the cafe was cool.. Really really cool. It was quite dim where we sat under a hut, a wooden hut. Surrounded with dim little oil lamp and a few dim light bulb. With the decoration of a cool little pool at the very corner where frogs were sounded like they are mating and flowers growing up in the typical boots where Phua Chu Kang used to wear. 

When the menu was in my hands, a glance through the menu and I saw a very interesting order which attracted my attention. It was super duper funny enough when I showed it to the others, they were all excited about it. As you know, this is the mindset of teenagers nowadays. Unfortunately, noone actually dare to order that 'thing'. 

Food were extremely nice there especially when I tasted this small little soft-shelled-crabs. YUMMY!!!! Chit-chatting while laughing at every single little random things that came from our mouth. This is what make a simple little dinner to be so lively when laughters are spread continuously. 

Random days will always come,

Random things might come unnoticed,

Random happiness will always be remembered,

Random moment will always be cherish.

The sky is crying,

It purposely pollute the water,

It wets the hairs,

It worsen the sight,

It restricts everything,

But it's nice and I like it.

Bonanza monopoly!!

Life after mid term break is quite relaxing not because there isn't any work for me to do but then it is because of the laziness in me that overwhelm and control me. I just couldn't start doing anything other than enjoying myself with the entertainment around me.

Just before I started the other half of my sem, I felt down during sports and injured my elbow. Slammed down on the ground, landing with my right elbow and left palm leaving both of these parts in pain after awhile (palm blue-black with right elbow bleeding and in extreme pain). After a few days, which was yesterday, I went for sports again. Though the accident was not even noticeable, I felt a shirt scratched my wound and "Dah-da"~ my elbow is bleeding again. How amazing that is!? Wow!!

My 2nd sem watching the University Basketball Tournament Final. This year final was AceX vs Magic. AceX was the runner up last year and I wanted them to win this sem because they couldn't win last sem. They were behind in the 1st and 2nd quarter but after another 2 last quarter of heart-beating action from their team which I was totally amazed of, they won!! The beautiful passing, amazing dribbling, perfect blocking plus accurate shooting really left me shouting and screaming there with my friend. A totally unforgettable match. Didn't regret going for it.

We recently was totally addicted to this game, MONOPOLY. This game was kind of special compared to the normal monopoly that I knew all along. This game was played using a set of cards. ~Deal breaker, Sly deal, Forced deal, Just say NO, and the irritating Pass Go.... How could this name of cards be taken away from my mind. I remember playing it during lecture and tutorial.. There you can see how desperate and addicted we are to the game. xD

OMG!!!! I didn't know what had happened to my roommate. He had turned from an innocent guy which always claimed he is 15 to a guy who still claimed he is always 15 but who is super perverted. I seriously do not know how to describe his perverted-ness here. I think those actions and words are totally indescribable. Safe me from the lion's mouth!!! It is still normal if he is only interested in girls. But UNFORTUNATELY, he is also interested in GUYS!!! OMG!!!! What a big and drastic change and evolution he is experiencing!!??

But still, he bring laughter and joy. Bad in certain way but cool in different way. =D

Today was cool. We went for a movie called 'The Other Guys'. This was a really stupid and weird movie but yet it is funny. Funny in a stupid way!! I couldn't resist myself from laughing because of those stupid and weird actions and dialogue of theirs. Through some funny and tiring part, I managed to go for Sushi King. This was my 1st time going for Sushi Bonanza!!! WOW!!! It was really really cool!!! Unagi, salmon, tako, nihotate, ika, ebi ten, chuka iidako, chuka chinmi and ikura!! AWWWW!!! I'm so hungry now!!! Better stop it now or else I will die because of starvation. HAHA!!

Guess it's time for me to head to bed now.

I still can't figure out how I can make you work, circuit.. Could you tell me in real life or in my dream??

Break-ing

This is my official 1st blog since I had back to Uni or should I say -away-from-Ipoh-again 'trip'. I had move myself out of the in-campus hostel this semester where I thought I can enjoy myself here with the internet connection and the new environment but it wasn't that easy after all. The internet connection here was totally rubbish. At the beginning of the stay, it was still okay as I still can online though that it might be super lag. Eventually, the connection became worst when I can't even connect into it. What a disaster!! Now me and my house-mates have to spend some extra Ringgit for our own internet connection.

This was actually going on pretty well until problem after problem started to arise and break the silence. Some things are meant to be kept to ourselves so I would rather not speak it up in public.

I was taking my Programming subject this semester. My brother actually told me that this subject was superbly hard and I didn't really believe him at the very beginning but........now I believe him. It was definitely hard. I think I flunk my 1st Lab Test. Another hard subject that I was facing now was some kind of Telecommunication subject where I can hardly understand the lecturer during lecture. I took most of the lecture time to visit my dreamland. Should I be proud of that??

My Uni celebrated its 10th anniversary last week. I thought it will be a grand carnival that will be held on Saturday but in the end......There was a carnival but then it was just a small carnival. Not really small but just that it was not as grand as I had in my mind.

Then I attended 'Youth Got Talent' and basically I participated in it. Don't ask what did I do on the stage but thanks to my group members, we managed to get the 1st runner up for the group category. There were 19 performances from both solo and group categories. There were 1 particular performance that made me had goose bumps. Ewwww... There were other performances that were nice but there was this particular performance ~ by this one friend of mine who performed her AWESOME skills in playing ukulele.. WOW... Her voice were nice and her skills was amazing in handling that ukulele. She deserved to be the Champion in solo category. One word, AWESOME!!!

FAST FORWARD!!!

Just finish my tests before mid-term break. HOORAY!!!! I do not know why, this week had been so difficult for me, not physically but mentally.. Maybe the disease of thinking-too-much come back again. But who cares now.. I'm cured.

Now is mid-term madness... Errrmmmm..... but should I really say it as break because I have tonnes of assignments to complete where I don't even know how to do on it. What I need to do now is to prepare myself to die nicely only. How amazing. xD Circuit oh circuit, how shall I complete thee!?

So, adios guys. I shall prepare myself... HAHAHA

Malacca Trip as Farewell

Time flies especially when things are going the way that you want it to be. So fast and I'll be leaving Ipoh~my beloved hometown~ soon......really soon....

During this last week of my holiday, I managed to finally visit the famous historical state, Malacca, together with my mum. I was quite reluctant to go in the beginning but then the experience of my stay in Malacca and the beauty of it really proved me wrong of thinking that way. This time of my visit was actually to visit my brother as he kept on persuading me to visit him and as well as to enjoy the scenery of Malacca. Now, I finally had the chance to make it true.

My journey of about 5 hours was really torturing. I've to thank my phone for doing me a great favour in accompanying me throughout the journey. *music music music* I barely can take of my earphone once I've put it on.

First drop, 'Melaka Sentral'. I was really amazed of the station as it is much more beautiful, cleaner, nicer etc than 'KL Sentral' and this is needless to compared to the dirty and dusty 'Medan Gopeng' that we have here in Ipoh. It seems that 'Melaka Sentral' was bigger than 'KL Sentral'.It was basically a small shopping complex where you can find all types of things that you can find in a normal shopping complex can be found here as well.

After dropping all of our belongings, we headed to the famous Malacca's Petaling Street, Jonker Street. Unfortunately, this famous street will only be crowded during Fridays and weekends. However, we still managed to get a tour around Jonker Street. My mum bought a lot of local food such biscuits and candies. I managed to taste the original 'gula Melaka' here. WOW!! I was totally amazed of it. The 'gula Melaka' was seriously 'kao' and sweet compared to the 'gula Melaka' elsewhere.

After a long walk along Jonker Street, we went to have a tour in Dataran Pahlawan Megamall and Mahkota Parade. The one thing that I regretted not doing there was I did not buy Yui's latest album 'Holidays in the Sun', the only shop that I can find Yui's latest album. AHHHH!!! We went to a coffee house famous for its delicious and mouth-watering mille crepe, Nadeje. The mille crepe was absolutely amazing where it can trigger your appetite. The original mille crepe taste sold there was of no comparison to others mille crepe.

Then we head to the famous Satay Celup. The word satay definitely will give you an impression of the normally made satay where those meats were poke through with a stick and barbequed. This was a different version of satay that were normally found in Malaysia. It was something with the concept same as 'Lok Lok' but the soup that was used to cook the food is not normal soup but satay sauce. Food such as fishball, chicken meat, vegetables etc were cooked using those sauce filled with crunched peanuts. WOW.. My stomach is 'drumming' now when I'm talking about it.

In the end, we have a little of Malacca Night Tour. I managed to see the famous Stadthuys a.k.a 'Red House'. It was really really ~red....... HAHA... It was closed when I visited it that time and I didn't get a chance to get a tour in the building. Ships as museum, a tall skyscraper for visitors to view the whole city and many more historical places where I didn't managed to visit in one day.

I returned to Ipoh on the next day. I will be back to Malacca one day to truly enjoy the beautiful scenery of it. Unfortunately, the bus that I was on, broke down and one hour of my time was wasted. If it was not because of my mum, we will not only be waiting for one hour.

It's time..........

-Finger down-

The Remaining

It had been weeks since I am back to my beloved town Ipoh. And in a blink of eye, my holiday is going to end in another week time. Time really flies especially when you are enjoying most of the time. Or maybe not most of it, just partially. But still, happy time does fly. That's how cruel the world can be when it wants to grab away the time that you are enjoying the most. That's the reality. On Earth, happiness does exist but it doesn't last long. So my dear readers and friends, grab every opportunities that held in front of you all so that you won't regret it in the future.

Reviewing back on what I had really done for the past few weeks in Ipoh, I really can't think of much that I had done. However, I do appreciate the time that I spent with my friends here in Ipoh during this holiday of mine. I managed to drive down to Kampar and had a little suprised visit to them where we ended up in a cybercafe. People might think that we might be dumb to drive so far to Kampar and just ended up playing computer games but then for me, those time was precious. Or should I say priceless.

I watched a movie recently and I really felt this phrase is meaningful ~ "A person's property is not measured by his/her wealthiness but by the number of relatives and friends that he/she has" ~ Friendship and relationship are just priceless.

I just attended the Hillsong [Unite=Conquer] Concert in Syuen which was totally mesmerizing. Hmm, shouldn't really say that. Should say it was AWESOME!!! The worship was rocking and the sermon was attractive enough for people like us to listen. I can barely meet someone that I know there. Ipoh now are filled with strangers. It was seriously nice until I do not know how to express it into words. Hahaha!!!

Sports had been always my favourite hobby of all. I had been continuously going for sports especially football. I did spend some time on other sports as well such as badminton, table tennis, basketball, futsal and even pool. HAHA!! And one more thing, I had gained weight.. This is the worst scenario ever. I can't maintain back my weight before I left for Sarawak. =.='

According to Chinese Lunar Calendar, it was the beginning of July just recently which is also known as the Ghost Month of for the Chinese. And in conjunction of this also, it marked the opening ceremony for the injury of my TWO toes within THREE days. I told my dad that day about the incident that I accidentally kicked the table with my toe, he was shocked and told me back, "What!? Again!?". Even my dad was shocked too when he heard about my toes. =P MY POOR LITTLE, WEAK AND SOFT TOES.

I'm glad =)

-Fingers down-

Holidays

It's been 2 week since I left Kuching and 1 week since I reached Ipoh. I have not done much but then it is much more better than rotting in Kuching. The air in Ipoh definitely smells better and sweeter than Kuching's one.

Football fever had finally ended for almost 2 weeks. Spain had been crowned the champ and I was too happy that time that it almost caused me my hand because of the ceiling fan on top of me that time. It had been a boring week in KL though I managed to meet up with Lauretha in KL. It has been awhile since the last time we met in Kuching.

Ipoh.... The one and only thing that I wanted to say. I was really amazed of this small city. 4 months of disappearance. so much changes on this small city. Old building collapsed, new building emerged, old shop closed down, new shop appear. Now I wonder what will happen till the next time when I will have my holiday and come back here again.

There was just a kind weird feeling somehow in my heart. But just ignored it caused its not important. I get to go Bon Odori in Ipoh and also the one in KL though both of them I also arrived late. =P Anyway, Bon Odori in KL was superb because the moment I reached though it was almost ending and a lot of people were leaving but still, there were still many there. I like the atmosphere there when all those people standing around the stage where the performances were going on, followed the dance and dance along. THAT WAS AWESOME. Compared to Ipoh, it was quite plain. Stage was small, less people and those people just stood there and take pictures only. Oh yea, and they sell 'Japanese Apong' and 'Japanese char kuey teow' which is basically local food. LOL. Quite disappointed actually.

Thanks alot to my friends who celebrated with me. Appreciate it alot. Thanks for the present as well. =)

That's the end of it...

And so....that's the end of my foundation year in Swinburne. In just a blink of eye, one year had passed.

There were so many things happened throughout the whole semester this time. Many happy, unhappy, pleasant, unpleasant, funny, hilarious, sad......mixture of dozen of feelings into one. That's how life in uni suppose to be. There will be up and down in our life but still, life goes on.

I still remember from the beginning of this sem, I was so sad because I was separated from most of my classmates last sem. Basically, I'm all alone to adapt to new friends and new environment again. I thought that my sem this time will be a boring one because I was one of the very few Chinese in the class. But things weren't that bad after all. I had a peaceful yet happy life. Things will definitely had the bad and good side of it. The secret lies on how are we going to view that particular thing from.

From just a stranger to a friend,
A normal friend to a close friend.

We joke together,
laugh together,
fight together,
suffer together,
and most importantly,
we enjoy together.

Things that can be so hard at the beginning, became easy in the end because of you all.
Things that can be so complicated became simple because of the helps that you all gave.
Situation can be so tensed up but because of your jokes, things chill out.

I do not know whether others will remember this semester but for me, this sem will definitely be in my heart. The new friends that I had made, the experience that I had gained and the jokes that I had laughed. The times that we spent together are priceless. We used to stay up late at night/in the morning to think of ideas and do out assignments, skipped class to finish up our assignments, rushed during the last minutes to finish up our reports, loiter during class and went for tea-break, went out for a little bit of 'cucuk-ing', dinner at 'cute menu', and crashed my car.

There were also things that weren't that smooth.. Things that struck me so hard will just make me stronger. There were things that happened and it really pull me down, but then what's important here is I managed to stand back up and continue on my journey. It is indeed true that people do change as time goes by. From just a short time, people can change. Needless to say whether from good to bad or from bad to good, people do change. Life isn't that easy after all. We have to adapt to it and live with it. When you keep yourself quiet and observe, you can see everything in a clever vision. It is said that a wise person will observed more than they will talk. Many things happened but I would prefer to shut myself up. Looks a the brighter side of things and you will definitely be happier.

And so, that's the end of the semester and also my foundation year. I blogged part of my experience and memories here but the all of it will be remained in my heart and mind forever. Somehow, somewhat... life still goes on.. So cheer up and fight for what we believed in.. Continue on our life happily and strive for the future.

Gawai Celebration

Actually there are lot of things that I wanted to blog lately but then time doesn't allow me to do that. Or I shouldn't say this way cause I don't want people to think that I'm so so so busy. So, I'll just say that I'm lazy and that's also the main reason I din blog about it until now.

The most important thing that I wanted to blog about is the Gawai celebration on 1st of June back then. It was awesome!!! This is the first time I ever celebrated Gawai. Before this, we often heard about the Gawai celebration during our school days but never really get a chance to experience the atmosphere before. But now I DID!!!

I managed to join an outing to Annah Rais for a longhouse visitation. WHOO!!! Although it wasn't the original Iban longhouse because Gawai is mostly celebrated by Iban. By the way, it was a Bidayuh longhouse. We started off our journey to Sister Niensi's house for our lunch and headed to the longhouse then. As soon as we arrived there, we met Lyn to be our tour guide there. =D All those houses, longhouses, rooms, balconies, furnitures are made of bamboos. Their craft works were really really nice and practical enough. It was just like entering a 'City of Bamboo'. The place there was really crowded with people. Some were cooking, some were preparing for the celebration that was at night and some were busy to introduce their culture to the tourists there. We even managed to enter into the headhouse (Panggah), where the skulls of Japanese were placed. Creepy but truth enough. 

Then we headed to a river/hotspring nearby for our relaxation time. We sang there, acted some sketches there, and most importantly, we played water there. XD The hotspring was just beside the river and it was so small. Though that the hotspring was small but then the water was really boiling. It almost boiled off my feet.

That's mostly the experience for the first day for the Gawai celebration. 

The next day, Zac invited me to his house for Gawai celebration. Many actually attended but yet we still managed to have fun there. Joke around and chatted around. "That was the first time I ever chatted so long". I even managed to try 'tuak' which was the 'legendary' and traditional alcohol that must be served when a visitor visits a house during Gawai. Maybe he didn't prepared that tuak with a high alcohol content and that's the reason it wasn't that bitter compared to other alcohol drinks. It was quite nice to be honest. Straight after you drank it, you can feel the heat within your body. It was so so so hot that you wanted to take off your shirts. xD THanks Zac for the invitation!!!! ^.^

Christian left yesterday. He was a really really nice guy. Extremely friendly, never get mad at others, cheerful, funny, and a totally 'harmless creature' (Chang Ting 2010). I can only say that he is really an influential man. He influenced me a lot and I remembered very clearly on what he have done to me. I will NEVER FORGET you, Christian. Take Care!!

Life isn't that easy lately. Nothing is easy. Had been through a lot and more to come for me to go through. It's so hard when you keep things in your heart.

*Thought of solving one problem today but eventually one more arise when one is still unsolved*

Happenings

Last week was supposed to be out mid-term break but instead it had became our mid-term test week. Although we had been informed that there will be no mid-term break for us in the beginning of the sem. But still I want a break.

The mid-term test week was actually quite nice because there was only 1 test for me on that week, Physics. I think I screwed the test so I'll just skip the test part. =P This sem is not easy at all. For goodness sake it's just foundation but then those workloads are increasing day by day. oppsss. Maybe I'm just exaggerating things, not daily perhaps. But still, there are so many things to do, Physics reports, English report, Innovation and Change assignment, homeworks.......

Right after the test, I went for BBQ in one of my friend's house. The BBQ was AWESOME. It rained on the moment when I sat into my friend's car and headed for BBQ. That was actually quite disappointing but then thank God that the rain stopped just as we reached there. haha.. Isn't that amazing? There were a few chefs there that have only ONE duty, to BBQ for us. Sorry because we didn't help much but then all of your BBQ-ed food were DELICIOUS. haha. Sat right in front of the TV with the food and watched Thomas Cup which was an embarrassing one. Malaysia KALAH teruk. To China again. And Lee Chong Wei, lost straight sets to Lin Dan again just like how he did it for Olympic. Need to dig a hole and hide his head inside ady. =P Then Malaysia lost straight games to China 3-0. Then I walked out and take some fresh air and amazingly, the air was superbly fresh and cooling. WOW.. The feeling was so nice. There was a big pond just beside the house like a swimming pool. Feel like jumping in there and swim that day. haha!! Then chatted with friends outside of the house and it was nice. It was the 1st time that we chatted so long. WOW. That's SO COOL.. hahaha!!! And it's nice. 

I went for a class trip to Kubah. WOW.. It was amazing though it was a bit plain to me. But still, ITS AMAZING!!! I love the trip, I love my classmates and I love my teacher who put in a lot of efforts to make this trip a success.

The 1st day was filled with excitement and question marks in my head. I've never been there before. But this was the 1st trip for the class this sem and I hope there will be more to come. Okay~ back to the main point. The morning was kicked off with rain and I was kinda worried about the trip. For your information, Kubah is a place for hiking and waterfall. So now you know what I'm worrying about. We gathered in the uni and 13 of the guys stuffed into a mini van. The journey there was stuffy but then it was fun because some of us kept on doing some silly things and joke as well to induce our laughter. haha!!! There was one car where one aunty and a few of her children (I think) kept on looking at us when we were at a traffic light. They make us look like clown in the van. LOL.

It was a fun and short journey there. We checked into the chalet and had our lunch (with curry chicken) ~delicious~ Then we headed to the waterfall which required us to hike and also go through a little of jungle trekking. The journey up to the waterfall was not that hard. As soon as we reached, we jumped into the waterfall when the water was EXTREMELY COLD. Because of the rain that morning. I almost froze to dead but then that didn't stop me from playing in the water. =)

However, our journey back to the chalet was not the smooth as the journey to the waterfall. We thought of taking the shortcut back but then the route that was supposed to be the shortcut became longer. We were quite terrified that time because the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker (plus the sign that indicates the distance back to chalet was getting longer as we continued in) In the end, we managed to reach back to the chalet safely just before the sunset. Thank God. =)

Had another BBQ there. While playing with cards (police and assassin) wow. That game was nice when you are playing with a bunch of friends. We actually played that game until way past midnight. And it was not boring at all. LOL. VJ slept on the sofa and we tried to wake him up to ask him go back to his room and sleep. But then when we tried to wake him up by shaking him, he snored. The more we shake him, the louder he snores. XD

The next morning when I woke up, Adden was also just awake. And it was because of the naughty Salman and Edric who put toothpaste on Adden's face and armpits. THAT WAS SO FUNNY. They should at least wake me up to see if they do not want to call me along into this funny moment. Good time seriously doesn't last. The trip ended with a group picture. But at least we had fun playing together and get to know each other more. It was really an unforgettable trip and I hope that there will be more to come. =)

Just 2 days before the trip, I went for swimming. It had really been awhile since I swim. It was fun although that I got sunburn after that. And because of that also, my skin now is shedding like a snake. It was really torturing the next day after I swam. The last time when I got sunburn was so long ago and it was because of swimming too. But that was because I entered a competition and this was because I swim for fun. So big different. haha!!

So fast, it was already 2weeks plus since Lauretha left. She was really a great friend. Though that we just knew each other less than a year, but then we are FRIENDS!!! Friends Forever. And now its Christian's turn to leave us. Too bad. He is really a good guy. =) Take acer Christian went you move to Aussie.

Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY. Firstly, I want to thank my mum for everything, thank her for bringing me up, thank her for teaching me, thank her for.........................................(endless)

A lot had happened lately but then I forget what I wanted to blog here now. That's how pathetic it is. Let me recall.. Hmmm Hmmmm..................errrrrrr.........................

Oh ya... After 2 weeks of short and hard practice for the hand-miming performance, we did well in the real performance. Although there were some mistakes made but then the result was still NICE... The song was actually quite normal for me at the beginning but then after a few practices, the song just couldn't get off my head. HOLD ON~~HOLD ON~~ I still remember there was this particular practice when I laughed until I shed tears and rolled on the floor. All thanks to CHANG TING. She pointed out my mistakes and give me the 'look' which caused me all this. I did some mistakes in the move and mix up all those moves only, then she looked at me. Then I did even more mistakes and her face expression really make me can't stop laughing. It was really a torturing laughter.. haha!!!

I never realised that the caregroup last wednesday was the last one for Lauretha for now. She is going to work in PJ. I knew her barely for a year but then she is really a friendly and funny friend to be. After the caregroup, everyone suddenly gave her a suprise farewell by singing HOLD ON to her. This song really make an impact to each and everyone who had involved themselves in the miming performance. And also to those who are not. I can't take off that song out of my mind now. The impact of that song is so big. We kept on repeating that song until she actually wept. Because it was too touching for her I think. All the best for you, Lady Tha Tha. God bless.

I hate my this sem. Especially the stupid physics lab report. There are so many works to do for each report. And the works are like getting more and more for each and every report. Plus I have a so 'brilliant' lab assistant that doesn't like to explain stuffs and like to tell us stuffs during the last minutes. Workloads for assignments are building up too. Idea Generation, Idea Conversion, Idea Diffusion, Six Thinking Hats, NAF bla bla bla..

Entering into Mid-Term Test week. But eventually everything seems to be so hard to get into my thick skull. I wish I can drill more holes on my skull so that things will flow into my brain easier. haha!! But let things go by flow. =) And I haven't really started my revision for the test yet. Gonna die very soon. Haha..

Oh yea, I watched Ip Man 2 and also Iron Man 2. I can seriously say that Ip Man 2 is super NICE.. WALAO!!!!! Kacha........Quote from the movie, 'you think winning important or eating with your family is important?'. If everyone is given a choice, I think they will choose both. haha!!

Happy Birthday Jill.

(Hold on~Hold on~)

Hell of a week

I had been missing for so long.

Hell of a week. I do not know how to tell this but then I just feel that my schedule this sem is super packed. Now is only the 5th week and there were a few quizzes plus presentation and another assignment coming up.

There was this Physics lab report that I had to hand in last Tuesday and I was rushing to finish it last minute with my group mates because of the Lab Assistant who is being so demanding. He told us everything almost last minutes that this cannot and that cannot when we had finish doing everything and preparing to hand it in. And there was a group member of mine that didn't really did much and we had to finish up the work for her in the really last minutes. Report had to be submitted at 5.30pm and the report of our group mate was handed in at 5.25pm. That was a close one.

Besides, I also involved myself in the mime that we are going to perform soon. It consumed really a lot of my time. Plus the presentation and quizzes that were coming up, I really being quite worried at the beginning.  And also because of this performing, I'm kinda addicted to this song that I had been practicing now. Hold on Hold on.............!!!! =P

Just before the presentation today, I had my Physics quiz. I really do not know how to comment about the quiz. So, I'll just skip this.

Let's talk about the presentation. I prepared the Power Point slides about 1 week before the presentation but straight after I finished my slides, I didn't really touch it to prepare my speech for today. I basically just prepared my speech yesterday night for about 1 or 2 hours. Thank God that I didn't really did much mistakes today and I can say that I had done my best. But during the presentation I had done something that I feel really bad about and I've regretted doing it. I really wish that I can travel back to the time before it happens. However, everything is too late. I shall bear the consequences of the stupid me that couldn't control myself at times.

There was this thing that happened last week that really pissed me off. I can't control myself but to hate everyone that I think involved. Since this incident, I just had negative thoughts on them which basically just because of one person that did this. I was so pissed of that I actually wanted to scold them face to face for being a person with 2 faces. It's just so true that the people of this world are living with a mask on them. Even those that I think would do so. Talk in this way but then do it in another way. They just make me feel that trustworthiness no longer exist. I'm now wondering whether I shall continue to befriend with them.

How come I always tend to look things in such perspective? Random and bad thoughts will always come and pollute my mind. I just couldn't control myself. Am I just being an invisible person here who is living just for the sake of myself?? Things always go the direction that you do not want it to be. That actually will make you frustrated. Looks like I'm just posting this post here also just for the sake of myself to blurt something out of myself.

Ahh, this blog is getting so 'down'. I shall stop it now or else worst thing will happen.

Good Friday and Easter

Second week of class. I'm getting used to the environment now. New classmates and new surrounding. Guess I have to bear with it.

Good Friday was NICE. Why would I said that? Because I went to the first mountain hiking since I came to Sarawak, a land of nature. I went to Gunung Gading which was about 1 hour 45 minutes of journey from Kuching. It was not really a hard journey for me as the road was super bumpy. There was actually police with machine guns waiting there for our arrival. Proud proud. haha!! Actually it was because of some Dato or someone 'big' who was there.

We started off our journey to the Waterfall No.1. That waterfall was just normal and there was kinda alot of people there. So the scenery wasn't that nice. On our way to the next waterfall, there was this big rock that we need to pass through. And guess what!? The rock was called 'Batu Apek' or 'Old Man Rock' (FUNNY name)

The scenery in Waterfall No.3 was super nice which was the 2nd waterfall that we dropped by. We had our lunch there. I did sweat though I didn't sweat much caused we were walking with quite of a slow pace so that all can walk in a group.

And finally we reached Waterfall No.7. The scenery was breath-taking. It was totally indescribable. The place was peaceful with just us there. The water that was rushing down and hit those stones there created water sprinkles. With the cold wind and sprinkles of water there, it was like a big fan sprinkling water to you. And I was soaked and lying on a big stone as if I was sunbathing. The feeling was so comfortable and those sweat and blood that I dripped was totally worth it. haha!!! No blood la. Jusr sweat.

Then we headed down to see Rafflesia. I did managed to take a look of it but eventually it was quite small. However, I did finally take a look of the world largest flower in front of my eyes. Thank God that it didn't rain because the sky was drumming when we were heading down. It was just on the way back that it rained. Thank God.

Easter was great.

I wanted to watched many soon-to-be-released movie (Ironman 2, Prince of Persia, The Last Airbender and Kaiji) I wanted to watch Kaiji not because I really like it. It's because the main theme song is from YUI. It's all too much - Yui. Arhhhhhh!!!!! I wanted to watch it!!!

Quiz tomorrow and flu now.
