Went out for dinner last night with Liang, Rizwan and Anne.
After picking Anne up, we 'camped' outside Riz's house, waiting for him to come home from prayers. Liang called him up earlier and said, "I'm different today, I'm early!" or something like that la. (Liang is usually late for outings LOL)
We chatted around la, mostly Anne and I were talking, cause Liang kept getting phone calls. When Liang was free to chat, the both of us would insult and tease Anne together.
She asked me to join her for frisbee games. Lol soli la, I don't wanna give her the chance to smack me in the face with a well-thrown frisbee JOKEZ. But she said even newbs learn fast. Maybe one day in the future I'll give it a shot.
Then when Rizwan came back, we were all happy, especially Liang. Cause he was hungry. That's why Liang was early.
Riz gave us directions to take the Kesas highway, towards Puchong, I think. On the way, we passed by a car parked at the side of the road. And there was-*shock!*-A NAKED FELLA STANDING BY THE ROADSIDE WITH HIS BUTT FACING THE ROAD OMGS. Riz and I saw, and we were so surprised! Riz said, "EH NAKED PEOPLE!"
I teased Riz and said, "Haha! Riz is excited!"
We went along the highway and saw a police car at the side of the road. Thank heavens there were no naked policemen running around.
We stopped at an R&R place by the highway (I think it was the Kinrara R&R?). Neways, Riz said the satay there was good. So he ordered that. Liang ordered claypot noodles, while the rest of us ordered fried rice, which, to me tasted pretty good. We ordered Lin Chee Kang as well, Malay-styled, which was nice, with stuff that looked like tadpoles >_>
And the satay was better than most I've eaten. Riz asked the guy to heat them up again though, cause they were cold. (Maybe cause Liang snapped hundreds of photos before we could eat LOL)
Food was good, and the companionship for the evening was better. Liang had a lot of stories to share bout his college stuff, including interesting events he's attended. He went for an MPO performance recently, which sounded quite interesting. Something I would like to experience at least once in my life.
He's organizing a German Battle of the Talents thingy in two weeks time. Which I'd go, provided nothing else interferes.
Riz is an excellent dude to have around. He had stories to share about Saudi, cause he came back from there not long ago. He had loads of complaints bout Saudi: the people, the food, the cities, even the news! He said that when they haven't arrived at Saudi yet, his parents already hated it, but he himself couldn't really understand why. Then when he came back, he also hated it! LOL.
He's learning some really weird stuff in Uni too. Interesting, but strange. Physics stuff. I mean, he told us we have a probability of being where we were, instead of maybe...under the table or something. All strange stuff. But all proven by science.
Many of his stories were really funny things as well. I kept laughing at most of what he was saying la.
Anne talked about the orchestra and stuff. Musical things. Heh. That girl is really into music.
We finished our dinner quite early, but we sat there and talked for almost an hour, I think, before leaving. We dropped Anne off first (I kept saying, "Thank goodness, we'll be rid of the Anne first!" I know I'm naiz =), then Riz. I tagged along as Liang went to meet Teck We's mum so he could ask her for help. By pure coincidence, Sze Hou, Teck Wei, Yuen Ching and I-forgot-his-name->< were there to fetch Teck We for yumcha. We didn't linger to chat, just went in to meet Twe's mum.
Settle liao, Liang sent me home.

Fire Drill
Had a fire drill at UTAR today. Lasted only bout 15 minutes I think. This is totally different from the fire drills back in secondary school. Last time, we had to queue up for ages, with prefects and teachers yelling at us to keep to our lines and shut up.
Today, all the students mingled in their own crowds, talked and joked at the top of their voices, and walked about as they like. There weren't even any real queues. Even the lecturers and staff mixed in with the students for chit-chat.
***************************************************************************************
Mom got a message from a church friend today. Father O.C has been admitted into the hospital. It seems one of his heart's vessels is bleeding. Please pray for him.

Phones OFF
Phones OFF in church, please.
Q: But shouldn't people be allowed to use their phones as they see fit?
A: Of course people can use their phones as they like. But I think it's respectful towards God when you give him your full attention during that one hour, instead of having your mind always on your phone. Besides, having your phone flash all the colors of the rainbow while blaring out the latest trashy dance track when someone is calling is really distracting to other people as well.
Q: Well, what if a call is important?
A: How many important phone calls might occur in that one hour, hm? Besides, isn't God more important than that RM100,000,000 contract call you're waiting for? After all, he's the one giving it to you. He can always take it away even if you answer the call. And if it really is important (awaiting news of an ill/injured family member etc), kindly take the phone OUT of the church before you start talking. Whatever your reasons, it's still damn rude to talk on the phone in the church during Mass or Service.
Q: You said that the ringtone/colors may be distracting to others. Why not just leave the phone on silent mode instead of turning it off completely?
A: Some phones vibrate hard enough to cause earthquakes on silent mode. Besides, you'd probably take the phone out of your pocket, and it'd light up when you use it. People are bound to look.
Q: That's their problem then, no?
A: Thing is, even if you aren't distracting others, you certainly won't be concentrating yourself. Whipping out your phone every few seconds to reply text messages or going out of the church to answer a call every now and then can contribute to your lack of concentration.
Q: Can't you opt to just ignore calls and messages?
A: How many people can do that? Even if you don't see what your phone's bothering you about, your mind would still be thinking about it, wondering if it was your friend who just asked you out to supper, or a family member calling to tell you they won the lottery, or whether your house just got demolished in a mistake etc. You'd still be thinking about those things, wondering about 10000 things that probably have not happened.
Q: Even if your phone is off, you'd still be wondering.
A: If your aren't paying any attention to the Mass at all, then yes. Otherwise, no. Surely you won't be as distracted as when your phone vibrates in your pocket every few minutes.
Q: So isn't it better to just take that call instead of letting it remain on your mind?
A: Look, it isn't really that hard to drop the damn phone from your mind completely for one hour.
Just. One. Hour. For that one week.
In that one hour, let your mind be with God. Give the Guy some thought man. He's had to pull you out of all those potholes you kept falling into throughout the week, and you can't even devote one hour's worth of your attention and love to him?
Even if it's two hours, is that really hard?
Forget the calls. Forget the messages. Messages, you can read after Mass/Service. Trust in God that those calls you missed aren't very important either. At least if your phone was off, you wouldn't be tearing yourself up over missing an important call afterward. Cause you couldn't have known, right?
Q: The mind will wander anyway, won't it?
A: The mind will always wander. It's how it's built. Thing is, you don't need something extra like your phone to help it do that.
Besides, I doubt your phone will ascend to heaven (or descend to hell) along with you.
*************************************************************************************
I don't really know why I wrote the above. I guess it's just one of the few things I believe in passionately.
The things I said were mostly lessons from my father. I myself never leave my phone on during Mass. I switch it off before I even enter the church, and only turn it on after Mass. I'm not a hypocrite. This is an example my parents have set for me, and damn good an example they are.
I've seen a lot of people in church who can barely let go of their phones. They spend almost 80% of their time texting, playing games, or even listening to music. Some don't even have the decency to leave their phones on silent modes, even after a call or two has upset the church's quiet atmosphere at solemn times.
And not all of them are even young people. Some are people who should have known better.
Besides, have respect for the priest too la. He didn't just dress up in those robes (which can make him feel warmer than being in a sauna), prepare a sermon and miss his dinner to come to celebrate Mass with you and end up listening to your crappy little phone make some noise and seeing you scramble out of the church to take a call that's, more often that not, unimportant.
So, please, phones off. It's an act of discipline. It's an act of respect.

Logenhaus
What does this mean? It's on the cover of the menu.
Logenhaus Restaurant has been in Taipan for a very long time, but today's the first time my family has gone there for a meal, for a celebration. My bro was first in his class.
The interior.
My meal. It's pretty simple la. Just chicken with pan-fried potatoes and vegetables. I had soup too.
Mom's. With garlic rice.
Bro's...with vegetable salad!
Dad's was almost like mine. Everyone ate chicken ahahaha.
Surprisingly, the prices were reasonable! Much much much cheaper than Las Carretas' prices. And the food tasted quite nice.
Great dinner. IMHO.

Cineleisure
Saturday:
I went to Cineleisure on Saturday evening with my bro to catch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Tickets were sold by his Confirmation Programme to raise funds. RM30 lol.
We had dinner at Italiannies.
Oiiiiiil.
Huge meatball.
My bro's dinner. Tiramisu cake. =.=
FlyFM had a 24-hour gaming event there yesterday. They played games like Tekken, Street Fighter, Winning Eleven, Guitar Hero and NFS Prostreet. My bro and I watched them to kill time, cause we finished dinner too early. I saw someone who looked really really really like Sir Joe. @_@
And then, it was time. For. Transformers.
....
...
Which I think was only just good la. Nothing too spectacular. LOL.
Cause the story, I felt, was lacking. And there were lots of moments which left me feeling 'cheated', ya know, cause there were mysterious robot disappearances and stuff. And some of the bots I've been kinda excited to see ended up not getting a deserving part in the movie.
Oh well. The action is better than before, so are the visual aspects. The scene I liked the most from the movie was the Forest Battle scene, in which Optimus takes on three Decepticons.
One improvement in this sequel, is that Optimus is real bad-ass this time around. I mean, he utterly destroyed Bonecrusher in the previous one, but in this movie, he's even more powerful, with an attitude to go with it. Woot!
I also liked Bumblebee's role more in this movie. He also gets to pull of some really cool moves.
I still enjoyed the movie a lot la. Though, like what Wai said, it was 'not up to my expectations'.
Sunday:
I went to HGY's place, our meeting ground before we headed down to...Cineleisure. For Transformers. -.-
David was already there. We had a good chat, and David told us bout his course, including the 'Mock Patient Checkups'. Which sounded like fun affairs, he had to deal with all sorts of patients, including ones with Parkinson's (real), angry patients, hot chick patients etc etc.
When he talked about angry patients, he had really funny experiences to share. The 'doctors' were supposed to keep cool and calm the patients down or whatever. David took 30 seconds, then told the patient, "Well, there are always private hospitals!" Cause he was kinda pissed off by then.
His lecturer was disappointed. He said one of his friends even replied, "HEI, I'm a doctor!" when confronted by an angry patient.
Later, HGY called Yong Wai to ask him where he is, as we were supposed to all meet by 11.15, only for Wai to ask, "Eh? I thought I leave house at 11.30?"
LOL. Wai -.-
Hiu Jian was also late, but at least he came before Wai. The minute he came in, he went and played L4D. Soon complained about us being late.
Wai made it in about 15 minutes. He must have sped all the way. Crazy fella man.
We set off then, to Cineleisure.
We saw some weird parking spaces there. They were not for handicapped people. Rather, they were for 'Single female drivers only'. o_O
We circled around before finding a space. It was right beside the wall, and there was a car on the other side of the space. I think David (or was it HGY? Hiu Jian?) suggested that Wai reversed the car into the space.
Wai said, "But I dunno how to do reverse-parking."
Until now, I still don't know why all five of us burst out laughing at that. Wai parked the car in short order, and we headed out to meet Soon at the entrance of Cineleisure.
We spotted him before he, us, but as usual, HGY said, "Quick, pretend we didn't see him!" We all turned around and huddled in a circle, hoping he wouldn't notice (as if =P), and he charged in and bear-hugged me. WTH?
Always me!
We went outside, where some people were having some activities. Rock-climbing and basketball (just shooting, not a real match).
David scored three out of three. Crazy. Hiu Jian missed three out of three. Also crazy. LOL. But then again, David plays often. And he's good.
We went to Kim Gary's for lunch. As usual la, we fight over menus and stuff. In the end, all of us decided to order the set lunch.
Soon ordered something extra besides. All of us ended up laughing again. This thing has seriously become a running gag of sorts. We surely will laugh out loud at that. And the waitress also ended up laughing.
Fruit milk.
I asked a really stupid question (I know, cause they all ended up laughing at me). I asked David whether the patients were real, especially the ones with Parkinson's. He said they were. Then I asked, "Then, those angry ones really angry ah?"
They laughed at that. Stupid question laaaa.
Seems Wai's uni has a lot of brilliant people, who can score almost perfect scores all the time. Cool.
Oh yea. From the moment David met Soon, he just could not stop insulting the latter, comparing Medicine and Pharmacy. LOL. He kept saying, "Aiya, geniuses like me take Medicine la, we can go clubbing all the time." Then he insults Soon. Even when it comes to exams. Cause David's exams are only on one day, while Soon's exam period takes two weeks. David said, "Cause we're geniuses, one day can finish exams, unlike you, you STUPID." Or something like that la. LOL.
Soon really kena zha kao kao.
Only Soon ordered a hot cup of tea. He complained that it's so little compared to our cold drinks. Wai insulted him because of this too. =.=
Allofthisarebelongtosoon. Now you know why we can't help laughing. The set lunch comes with soup, dessert, a drink, and cheese baked rice. Soon ordered rice with curry as extra. LOL.
After lunch, we went for Transformers. That was Wai's, HGY's and my second time, Soon's THIRD time, and the other two's first.
Well, movie's still good to watch the second time around, puts a clearer perspective on some things. And I get to watch the forest battle for the second time. =)
We sat in pairs, one in front of the other.
Wai HGY
Me Soon
HJ David
At the sides. Hiu Jian said, "Shit la what kinda seats are these!"
LOL it's damn hard to get tickets for this movie la.
Soon seemed to really enjoy the movie even though it's his third time. Well, he loved the original cartoons and stuff, I think.
They went off to IKEA after the movie, while I waited for mom outside. It was a surprise to meet them again later, and I stole a few sips from HGY's drink, which the others claimed was 'crazy' and '6 bucks for this!'. It tasted alright la.
They went home then. My mom also came soon after.
Calculus exam tomorrow. =S

I Don't Flame People
So anyway, there was this retard today who really pissed me off when I was driving to my mom's office.
There was a long queue at this particular traffic light.
Ok, time to let your imagination do some work. Imagine a normal-sized road, double lanes on both directions. And there is a small alleyway perpendicular to this road, and another alleyway across the road.
I'm a rather cautious (and sometimes chicken-ish) driver, so I usually stop with quite a lot of space between me and the car in front. Not really much space for a vehicle to squeeze through, but space nonetheless.
So this idiot van driver who came out from the alleyway thought he could squeeze through and be on his way, while we were all waiting for the light to turn green.
The piece of shit drove in front of me, inched through, and guess what? He got stuck. Because cars were still coming from the other direction, and he couldn't get past to the other alleyway. So he remained there, right in front of my vehicle.
What an idiot. He had the gall to gesture and glare at me, as though I was the one who was at fault. The stupid monkey was the one la! His little alleyway wasn't worthy of getting the large yellow box to let people know they should stop outside it, so he was the one who should have stopped! And even if I wasn't supposed to stop there, hell, would it kill him to be patient and wait in the alleyway till both sides of the road was clear, since the way was pretty much blocked already?
My temper flared and I gestured back, sweeping my hands back and forth at him and making slashing motions to show him that he should not have come out. I mimed yelling at him (to tell the truth, I was mad enough to yell, but it'd be a waste of energy), calling him 'stupid' and 'you-don't-know-how-to-wait-ah-you-r-tard", but since he's a pathetic life-form, I doubt he'd understand anyway even if I were yelling the words in his face.
I slammed the horn in his face, and so did the fellas behind me. The stupid driver managed to get out of my way later, only for me to see that I'd missed the green light.
At least my car wasn't damaged.
*************************************************************************************
The Accounting lecturer at Kampar decided that the best time for an Accounting test would be on a Saturday, at 4.30 p.m to 5.30 p.m.
The timing is damn inconvenient for my family. But exam. Haih.
************************************************************************************
I really like Ms. Angeline, my Business Accounting II lecturer. She's like...the only lectuerer we have who has a real sense of humor (which means making us laugh with her, instead of just her laughing at her own jokes).
She joked about the lecturer Appraisal System in UTAR, where "one bad comment from one silly student" might be all it takes to damage her career. Such as a former student of hers who complained that she 'nagged a lot, and talked a lot of nonsense'. LOL
She said she noticed that those intending to give bad comments are usually the majority of the students who've given comment, cause they're eager for revenge. Hahahaha.
She even told us to write good stuff about her, and if we intend to write bad stuff, she asked us to 'give face'.
Then, onto another topic altogether, she said her boss once told her to be careful in job interviews. When the interviewer asks 'What's 1 + 1?', the answer may not be 2, especially for accountants.
The proper answer, she said, would be 'It depends on what you want to see'. Cause accountants can manipulate figures and stuff, to make the company look more profitable, or lacking funds in order to gain loans etc. She knows a lot of tricks that accountants can perform (she was one herself in the past)
Seems like it can be quite fun to be an accountant. LOL.

I'm a rather cautious (and sometimes chicken-ish) driver, so I usually stop with quite a lot of space between me and the car in front. Not really much space for a vehicle to squeeze through, but space nonetheless.
So this idiot van driver who came out from the alleyway thought he could squeeze through and be on his way, while we were all waiting for the light to turn green.
The piece of shit drove in front of me, inched through, and guess what? He got stuck. Because cars were still coming from the other direction, and he couldn't get past to the other alleyway. So he remained there, right in front of my vehicle.
What an idiot. He had the gall to gesture and glare at me, as though I was the one who was at fault. The stupid monkey was the one la! His little alleyway wasn't worthy of getting the large yellow box to let people know they should stop outside it, so he was the one who should have stopped! And even if I wasn't supposed to stop there, hell, would it kill him to be patient and wait in the alleyway till both sides of the road was clear, since the way was pretty much blocked already?
My temper flared and I gestured back, sweeping my hands back and forth at him and making slashing motions to show him that he should not have come out. I mimed yelling at him (to tell the truth, I was mad enough to yell, but it'd be a waste of energy), calling him 'stupid' and 'you-don't-know-how-to-wait-ah-you-r-tard", but since he's a pathetic life-form, I doubt he'd understand anyway even if I were yelling the words in his face.
I slammed the horn in his face, and so did the fellas behind me. The stupid driver managed to get out of my way later, only for me to see that I'd missed the green light.
At least my car wasn't damaged.

The Accounting lecturer at Kampar decided that the best time for an Accounting test would be on a Saturday, at 4.30 p.m to 5.30 p.m.
The timing is damn inconvenient for my family. But exam. Haih.

I really like Ms. Angeline, my Business Accounting II lecturer. She's like...the only lectuerer we have who has a real sense of humor (which means making us laugh with her, instead of just her laughing at her own jokes).
She joked about the lecturer Appraisal System in UTAR, where "one bad comment from one silly student" might be all it takes to damage her career. Such as a former student of hers who complained that she 'nagged a lot, and talked a lot of nonsense'. LOL
She said she noticed that those intending to give bad comments are usually the majority of the students who've given comment, cause they're eager for revenge. Hahahaha.
She even told us to write good stuff about her, and if we intend to write bad stuff, she asked us to 'give face'.
Then, onto another topic altogether, she said her boss once told her to be careful in job interviews. When the interviewer asks 'What's 1 + 1?', the answer may not be 2, especially for accountants.
The proper answer, she said, would be 'It depends on what you want to see'. Cause accountants can manipulate figures and stuff, to make the company look more profitable, or lacking funds in order to gain loans etc. She knows a lot of tricks that accountants can perform (she was one herself in the past)
Seems like it can be quite fun to be an accountant. LOL.
