Independence Day

2010-08-31T17:34:00.002+08:00

Just a holiday, no significance to this day at all.

Or maybe the significance faded years ago.

Dream Within A Dream

2010-08-07T22:15:00.002+08:00

Short post.

Watched Inception with HGY, Soon and Hiu Jian yesterday. The whole evening was mostly filled with 'doing what we do best a.k.a playing in a CC' while waiting for the 11.45 p.m show. Tickets were really hard to get. And our session was a full house session.

Amazing movie. I enjoyed it from start to end, and during the second half of the show my heart was pumping constantly. Really thrilling, and I felt the cast was nearly perfect, from the entire Dream Team (pardon the pun :) to the antagonists of the movie, and even some supporting characters.

Genting, Muthabi**hes! :D

I finally had a chance to go on a holiday with some of my best mates last weekend.

FRIDAY

Met up with Wai, Hiu Jian, Soon and HGY at KL Sentral. WAI WAS THE FIRST AT SENTRAL.

We were an hour early (bus scheduled to leave at 7 p.m), so we went for dinner at KFC.

Food there wasn't really good. Hiu Jian's coleslaw had ice in it. HAHAHA. And it was there that HGY started calling himself a 'sexy muthabi**h'. LOL

After some time, we started arguing over room arrangements, with HGY refusing to sleep in the same room as Soon, and demanding a bed all to himself, and the rest of us throwing in counter-arguments of our own, while Soon threatened to throw us all out. It was funny as hell to shout at each other with demands and complaints about weird things about each other such as leg-hair and size.

Soon got us rooms free of charge, at Highlands Hotel.

We boarded the bus and settled in for the trip at 7.

: )

Nothing much happened on the journey, except Soon trying to cuddle/hug/lie down on me. HGY shut his eye and probably rested, while Hiu Jian and Wai chatted away. Soon and I also talked quite a bit.

After we arrived at the hotel, Soon went to collect our room keys from his dad's friend, who helped us check in earlier in the afternoon. We took a few photos in the lobby.

Wai, HGY and Hiu Jian.

Hiu Jian said, 'When I touched it, the temperature increased!'

Yeah right.

Wai, me, Beruk.

Soon appeared!

Those two were quick in grabbing beds -_-

We settled down quickly. Some of us washed up, while the others rested.

Afterward, we went to check the place out.

We wandered around, checking the counters in case we could buy tickets and stuff for Saturday. However, we couldn't. And Genting's cinema had stopped showing Inception T_T

Some of the ridiculous jokes we traded including going for massages and '拉根' sessions. We've all heard of prostitutes at Genting, and HGY wanted to say 'look for pleasure', but ended up saying '找快乐' LOL.

We considered going to the pub, but finally decided to get a drink at Starbucks instead.

Sipping cold/hot coffee and frappucinos while relaxing and chatting at the place...priceless.

We bought a pack of cards at a convenience store, then returned to the hotel room for the rest of the night.

The hotel rooms were good, spacious and comfortable, but with almost zero privacy -_-

The bathroom doors couldn't be locked! While I was shitting, Soon easily pushed his way into the bathroom. Luckily there were separate cubicles for the shower and the toilet, and I had the screen door closed.

We played 'chor dai di', then switched to 'Bluff', while eating the junk food we brought.

Bluff? As HGY puts it: "You get to find out who your real friends are".

It was freaking funny. We were roaring from laughter at all the ridiculous tricks each would try. Wai didn't join in, but he watched and even he found it funny. To put it simply, the goal of 'Bluff' is to get rid of all your cards, throwing them down and calling them out (either truthfully or...you know), and then hoping that others would challenge you and make a mistaken guess.

We played many rounds before going to bed. Wai made some really funny screams when he went for a cold shower in the middle of the night.

He couldn't sleep either, cause the Dark Mocha he drank made him high. He was all over the place making weird sounds, doing weird things. But at long last, we all settled down and got a few hours of restless sleep.

SATURDAY

Shitty night. I had diarrhea.

Oi. Wake up.

This is how you wake that whale up.

Okay...maybe that didn't work out too well.

It took all of us a while to get our systems up and running. HGY was the first to go to bed, and the last to rise. -_- Soon lazed around a bit, playing his PSP. Wai fooled around a bit, mostly with Soon.

When we were all ready, we headed down to the First World area for breakfast as well as to get some theme park passes. We opted for an outdoor walk down the the mountain from the Highland Hotel to First World.

It was pretty refreshing.

We had breakfast at Marrybrown.

Breakfast ~_~

John :D

Once we got these, it was time to hit the park :D

Wai had diarrhea, so the other three decided to ride the Swing Carousel.

I didn't join them because of a nasty past experience :D

After they were done, and Wai had returned, we went to check out the Go-Karts, but they weren't ready yet, so we waited around trying to decide what to go for next. Wai had another diarrhea (he said he shitted Dark Mocha), so we stood around waiting for him.

Hiu Jian and Soon tried this game. They tossed rings onto the bottles, trying to loop one around the bottle, but they failed :/

HGY suggested Dinoland, and so we went. He probably thought there would be cool dinosaurs and stuff.

Heh. Here we have Soon, HGY and Hiu Jian.

@_@

Dinoland was...boring, I'd say. I was in the same boat as HGY and Soon, and we were talking really loudly about the ride and the dinosaurs throughout the boat ride. Soon tried to gay around with HGY as well, but HGY didn't like it much.

Totem.

:D

Posers?

Afterwards, Wai went to the toilet again, and later went to buy some medicine, accompanied by Hiu Jian. The rest of us went for a ride on the Corkscrew. My first time :D

Man, it was awesome. I pretended to be afraid of it, and HGY and Soon kept trying to prevent me from 'leaving'. But I was actually excited. And I was really satisfied. Ahahaha. The loops and the spirals and the whatnot...EXHILARATING.

We went for a drive on the Go-Kart course. By then Wai was feeling better. The queue was...long. It seemed like ages before we managed to get onto the track.

And we were off! I followed behind HGY all the time because I just couldn't overtake him. My car was just slower than his, whereas he was overtaken by a Malay guy who disappeared from my sight later on. I guess he got a pretty fast car.

There was a rather scary moment when HGY was blocked and almost boxed in by three girls, one of whom kept swerving from left to right and blocking him. We didn't know if they were doing it on purpose, but they certainly drove dangerously. We did our best to overtake them and put some distance between them and ourselves.

We wanted to ride the Cyclone, but the sheer length of the queue deterred us. Instead, we went onto the spinning Cups. -__-

It was extremely punishing. For the next hour or so I felt completely queasy and nauseous. Wai, Hiu Jian and I were squeezed into one cup, and even though we didn't spin much, it was enough to upset my stomach. Whereas the other two crazy clowns spun from the start till the end. HGY had trouble getting out of the cup later. HAHAH. He was sprawled across the seat and struggling to pull himself upright. It was extremely funny.

I recorded a video of the ride, but it's too large to upload here, so, sorry folks.

I wasn't in the right condition for any more rides, so I sat on a bench and rested. Hiu Jian tried another game, while Soon accompanied me. HGY and Wai went for the Pirate Train ride, to which they said "sucks!".

We took a couple more photos, then went indoors. We went for the Motion Master show, 'Turtle Vision'.

It was another crazy queue, but we passed time as usual by taking photos and talking. Soon complained a lot.

The Motion Master show was alright, but it put a little too much emphasis on the importance of being environmental-friendly. Sort of made it a little boring and cliched, IMHO.

And then, it was time (finally!) for lunch.

We ate at a hotpot restaurant. All-you-can-eat steamboat buffet style. Overall, I'd say the food was pretty good. And we took too much! Seriously.

Boiling in tomyam soup.

Wai was still eating and enjoying his food at this time.

We could also fry the food on a grill around the pot. Soon and Hiu Jian deep-fried many pieces of Chicken, whereas HGY, Wai and I kept frying fish. We overate, and still were unable to finish, with HGY calling it quits first, followed by the rest of us.

Hiu Jian and I took a walk, and we made a trip to the bathroom before returning to the restaurant. Finally, all of us mustered our courage (and last vestiges of appetite) and finished off the scraps! Victory!

What to do when you want to ride something and digest a huge lunch at the same time? Take a ride on the antique cars!

The queue was long, but it wasn't long before it was our turn. Wai and Hiu Jian took the car in front of us. Wai drove that; Soon drove ours.

:D

As it turned out, it was a bad decision to let Soon drive. The nut kept giving the excuse of 'no brakes!', but he kept accelerating anyway and ramming into the back of the others' car.

And we couldn't really blame him either. The other two were going at...4 km/h? They were moving so slowly! And they kept camwhoring in front.

Gay moment.

There was another kid ahead of them who kept slowing down and blocking them as well. On the final stretch of the track, Wai sort of lost patience and rammed his car into the kid's. LOL

After that, we wanted to go on other rides but Soon wanted to rest and shit, so he went back to the hotel first. He was also kinda discouraged by the Mining Train queue.

While waiting for the ride.

To sum it up, it was short. So it wasn't that satisfying. And it only got pretty fast towards the end. Furthermore, the ride wasn't scary, but the rather low ceiling kinda freaked me out. If I'd stretched my head out too much I could have been decapitated.

Outside again.

Wai and HGY went for the Pirate Ship, but I wasn't confident that I could stand it, so Hiu Jian and I walked around instead.

At one point, a clown followed us. Yes. It was kinda freaky. She was staring at us while walking alongside us, and we stared back, then she said very slowly, 'Hiiii...'

Hiu Jian and I quickened our pace and left when she was distracted by a kid.

Later, Hiu Jian played a duck game, but lost. He didn't have any luck the whole day. Haha.

Once he was done, we went to look for the other two at the Pirate Ship.

They were kinda unlucky as got onto the ship last and had to sit in the middle, but it didn't stop them from having fun.

Two crazy guys :D

Wai started to do Mexican Waves, leading his entire side of the ship to do the same, as he called out "ONE, TWO, THREE!" When it comes to crazy fun, this guy's a natural leader.

The last ride we went for was the indoor rollercoaster ride. Fun, but nothing new, because the last time I went to Genting I'd ridden it for more times than I could remember.

By then, it was already evening, and a thick mist blanketed the outdoors. We headed back to the hotel, but took photos on the way.

Hah, posing in the mist.

All the funny poses.

He said it was his car.

Soon locked us out. -_-

We managed to gain entry after spamming the doorbell. We rested for a while, then Hiu Jian, Wai and I went out to get a little surprise for Soon.

Yup, to show our gratitude for free rooms.

We got half a gallon of Baskin Robbins ice-cream, in four different flavors, and went back to the room. Could tell he was kinda surprised.

We all sat around eating the ice-cream for a while, and then Wai had another crazy idea.

He suggested eating it in the mist, outside. Aw, what better idea could you get? Eating ice-cream, outdoors, in Genting.

Unfortunately, it was raining!

Next best thing? Sit on the curb and eat it. HAHA. We must have looked really weird, but who cares? It was fun, and how often do you sit on a curb of a hotel in really cold weather, eating ice-cream with your buddies?

All hail glorious ice-cream.

We went back to the hotel to prepare for 'Dazzle'. Yep, Soon got us free tickets to the show.

Wai was a little high again, and he lay down onto the carpet in the corridor. A cute little girl down the hallway spotted him and said in a loud, high-pitched voice, "EE!! 那个人在睡觉!"

Needless to say, the rest of us roared in laughter. She was so adorable!

We had to split up though. I sat with Hiu Jian, on the same row as the other three, but further away.

Before the show began, they made an announcement saying that recording devices were prohibited, so no photos. So we just watched and enjoyed the show. Luckily, the seats beside the other three remained empty, so Hiu Jian and I went over to join them.

I wasn't really interested in the dance segments, but the magic tricks were really entertaining, especially the umbrella magic, the statue illusionist and the lightning-speed clothes-change. The magician who did the umbrella tricks came among the audience at one point and started to do some tricks as well. He took RM10 from Hiu Jian and turned it into a hundred dollars.

We were all laughing really hard at Hiu Jian and his surprise, and at the magician's antics. Apart from performing magic, he was quite the actor and joker, keeping the audience in stitches. At the end, no harm was done, and Hiu Jian got his RM10 back.

The magician also did some other magic with other spectators which were no less impressive and also very funny.

We went to the arcade, and it sort of spoiled our moods. Long story short: Genting doesn't always deliver when it says 'free stuff', and this kinda pissed Soon, Hiu Jian and HGY off.

In the end, we returned to the hotel for more games of "Bluff", resulting in a couple of hours of almost constant laughter as we put each other to the test with our wits.

We played till about 2 a.m, then went for our karaoke session.

Ah, it's really different going for a karaoke session with them. For a change, we sang only English songs, and with them, songs from Michael Jackson, MLTR, Ronan Keating, Aerosmith, Oasis, Linkin Park, Nickelback etc were sung. And I have to say, I prefer singing with them much much more than with anyone else I've sang with so far. I suppose these guys were just much more 'my crowd'.

They knew a lot of classic songs, of which I only have fuzzy memories, and it was only through half of those songs that I realize I knew the songs.

I think it was "It's My Life".

Everybody sang, taking turns on different songs, sometimes singing all together, on songs like "It's My Life" and "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing".

Extremely fun session. Sadly, it cost me my voice for the rest of the night, and gave Soon a sore throat.

Sunday

Last group picture.

We packed up, then went for breakfast at The Bakery.

The chicken pies and panini were really delicious. We chatted for quite a while, but Soon had to leave early to join his family.

Once we were done with breakfast, we went to get bus tickets home. It was kinda difficult, what with some tickets sold out, but we managed to get tickets to Gombak. And then, we waited (a lot of time in Genting was spent waiting) till it was time to board the bus.

And with that, our Genting holiday came to an end. I really enjoyed myself (perhaps more than on any other trip I'd been on before), and I really hope that someday, we could all go on another holiday again.

Cheers :D

Empire Shopping Gallery

2010-07-04T21:37:00.012+08:00

Actually, Hiu Jian, Soon, Wai, HGY and I wanted to eat steamboat...but obviously steamboat restaurants don't open in the middle of the afternoon...as we found out. So we went to Empire Shopping Gallery to check the place out.

First thing we noticed about the parking lot, was that there were many spaces for handicapped drivers. Honestly, are there THAT many handicapped people?

For now, parking is free :)

We went to Chili's for lunch.

Whee candid.

Too awesome.

Hiu Jian. Soon.

The bottomless nachos were awesome :D Especially the bottomless part. WEE~~

We refilled the plate very quickly...the nachos practically vanished in minutes. We ordered some refillable drinks as well.

My Chicken Club Tacos. DELICIOUS.

Hiu Jian, HGY and Wai ordered these burgers. They can give Carl's Jr.'s a run for their money!

Soon's.

AND WE ALL STUFFED OURSELVES SILLY.

We were complaining about overloaded bellies...HGY failed, Wai failed, Hiu Jian had a hard time, I suffered the last few bites of my awesome lunch, and Soon...couldn't finish a tiny bit left.

We jalan jalan a bit around the place. It's quite crowded. And the stuff there weren't cheap...there were cotton shirts selling for RM700.

Jalan jalan~

His! And I had diarrhea. Damn.

More candid shots. Wai, Hiu Jian, HGY and Soon.

And that was the day. I had dinner at Euro Deli, with uncle, aunty and cousins. Goodness...I was full to bursting. But I enjoyed dinner nonetheless :D

Movie Dinner FOOTBALL!

2010-07-03T21:17:00.002+08:00

Watched "The Legend is Born: Ip Man" yesterday with Soon, HGY and Hiu Jian.

The movie was alright, I thought it would be shitty compared to the other two Ip Man films, but surprisingly it was quite good.

Had dinner at Zanmai.

Then we went to FTZ to play a few rounds of Call of Duty to pass time. Hilarious session as usual, what with all the knife-in-the-back, helicopter assaults and HGY making funny noises beside me.

When the Brazil vs Netherlands game started, we went to the pool center to play pool and watch it at the same time.

The only thing I couldn't stand was the cigarette smoke. Drove Soon nuts too, I guess.

Catchphrase of the day: "It always starts like this" - HGY

Feeling a little too lazy to explain it here :P

Netherlands won and HGY was overjoyed...damn! Not that we were supporting Brazil, we just wanted HGY to lose his bet :(

I sent Soon home. Turns out he lives in the same apartment area as my cousin Yee Lin. No wonder the place looked so familiar!

Steamboat tomorrow with these guys! Whee~

Public Speaking!

2010-07-03T14:47:00.002+08:00

We're doing speeches as an assignment.

My topic?

NO INTERNET CENSORSHIP.

This is going to be fun...

Success!

2010-06-27T19:14:00.005+08:00

This morning, my parents participated in Standard Chartered KL Marathon.

Why am I blogging about this?

You see, this was the first time my parents were running a full marathon, a distance of 42.195km. And they were really serious about the whole thing. They've been training for goodness knows how long, following strict training schedules etc.

And today, all that training paid off. My parents managed to complete their first full marathon within 6 hours!

Good job Mummy and Daddy. I'm really happy that you two have finally achieved what you've been working so hard for.

**********************************************************

I haven't cycled for a long time, so earlier, this evening, I took the bike out and went for a leisurely cycle around USJ2. I turned into random streets and alleys, just familiarizing myself with the bike. (I forgot how to cycle, I mean, I knew how to get moving, but forgot how to control the bike when I made turns etc =P)

And as I turned down this alleyway, I heard dogs barking. I ignored them, cause I thought they were probably in the compounds of nearby houses. They were growling and barking and snarling, and I just cycled on.

After a while, I realized that the barks were getting louder. So I turned and when I saw that there were two dogs right behind my bicycle, I...yelled. In fright.

I couldn't control the bike and had to stumble to a stop. The dogs would probably have had me by then, but I started roaring at them (anger this time, anger is good for dealing with scares) and they fled back to a third dog, which was barking madly. The two vanished into a side alley, but the third one stood there and barked away at me.

I almost got onto the bike to get away, but I realized that could bring the dogs in again, so I wheeled the bike away while snarling at the last dog, and when they were out of sight, I scarpered, the dog's barks still following me. Thank goodness they didn't give chase...

I WAS FREAKED OUT MAN.

Toys

2010-06-20T19:18:00.002+08:00

Watched Toy Story 3 today with my bro. Pretty good movie, but of course some of the jokes failed to amuse me :)

Some...had me rolling around in my chair in laughter. The emotional ending seems perfectly suited to end the series. The characters were mostly interesting (some of the villains seemed a bit boring though...)

Go watch the show. I recommend XD

HGY is back!

2010-06-19T21:05:00.003+08:00

Oh yea~

We went to Pyramid yesterday for dinner, with Hiu Jian. First, we kecoh at Wai's shop. Then when Hiu Jian met up with us, we went to Jusco so I could buy a wallet, then back to Wai's shop for a bit more kecoh-ing. :D

After almost 9 months of not seeing HGY, seeing him again is...well...awesome I guess. His hair is monstrously long (for those who knew him from the time before he went to UK), but he's still the same old HGY, quirky and funny and weird.

We had dinner at Zanmai cause HGY misses sushi. Lol.

We planned to watch a movie at 11.20 p.m. Since it was too early, we went to Point Extreme and played a few rounds of CoD and CS, and I laughed my throat raw.

The movie we watched: The A-team. It's awesome! Freaking hilarious, and the schemes the team was up to were totally mindblowing, especially because they WORK! It's a great show, go watch it! The dialogue was very good, and the humor was right in all the places, and it's an action movie that's smart, and not just overloaded with action.

HGY's one word description of the movie: 'Badass'.

Hiu Jian went home himself, while the other two rode in my car. We stopped by at McD drive-thru for a bit of supper, then I dropped Wai off. I finally expanded my driving maps a little bit and made it to Bukit Jelutong and back! Thanks Wai for giving me a chance to get to know where you live :D

And thanks to HGY for willingly accompanying me for the long drive, and spewing invectives and sarcastic insults...somehow, going out with him after such a long time is a bit strange, because it felt like he never went to UK and we've been meeting up regularly all this while. The banter was still solid...and...damn I've been reading too many movie reviews.

Oh well, gotta meet up with him again, with Soon this time, so those two could do their 'magic'. :)

Klang

2010-05-30T13:37:00.002+08:00

I've done it! I've visited Klang!

I went to Klang on Friday, in the evening. Jae Sen picked me up and took me to his house. I watched him play a game with Ivan, watch a replay and disturb people on MSN. Then, after he bathed, we waited for Chin Yang to pick us up for dinner.

The moment I entered the car, Jerry greeted me with "Hi gay!". -__- That was the first time I met Jerry, Chin Yang and Momo. Chin Yang didn't call me gay at all...strange, cause he usually does, on Garena. Jerry was like what I expected him to be, but Momo...for some reason I've always expected him to be kinda fierce LOL. Turns out I was wrong :D

We went to Bukit Tinggi for dinner. The place is large, and true enough, there were plenty of restaurants, cafes, mamaks etc etc. We finally decided to eat at a place called Jeth Cafe. Ivan met up with us there.

It was funny business when we talked about Dota games that we played. Especially when we talk about the funny things some of us do or say in game.

We went to Sino next. Sino is the cybercafe that these guys frequent. It's a pretty good one too, looks very professional HAHA. Played a few matches and, sadly, lost most of them.

We went to a mamak which they call 'MYOB' for supper. True enough, the fried chicken was delicious, but the nasi lemak was...normal la, to me, nothing special. After supper, we all went home. Played a couple of games with them on Garena, then went to bed.

Saturday morning. Tournament day. We went to Sino, only to find that registration hasn't begun. So, we went for breakfast before returning to Sino. Played a game of OMG Dota, and laughed ourselves silly with the funny skill combinations and surprises we sprung on each other.

Soon, they told us to move away from the tourney computers. Luckily for us, we proceeded straight to the second round (top 16). Khairul a.k.a Kyo's team played with team Sino in the first round and lost to them. We faced Sino afterward.

We had an advantage in the first game, which we had to remake because two of their PCs hung. We went on to lose both the later matches, thought I admit I had fun anyway, and Js was laughing away when Jerry and one of the opponents were fooling around. They were decent people too, and joked around with us.

After losing, we went for lunch, then back to the CC for a few games. Ned came for a while too! But without melons :(

In the evening, we went back, and Js sent me to the station. And that concluded my Klang visit. I'm really glad I finally managed to meet some of the people I've been gaming with for quite some time.

TC Gathering!

2010-05-27T21:29:00.002+08:00

Wow today eight people went to Midvalley. Me, Js, Fishie, Hsiang, Lin Chong, Shin Hui, Serena and Serena's boyfriend.

We ate brunch at Carls' Jr. We all had trouble finishing our burgers haha.

We visited the pet shop. OMG I saw kittens which were very cute! And chipmunks! And...other things.

And then, we watched "Prince of Persia". For some reason, I led the entire group to the wrong cinema. -_- It was supposed to be theater 1, but I mistook the seat number 13 for the theater and...yea. They had a good laugh at me. About the movie...I've never played the game, but from what I read the story's not entirely the same as the movie's. But the movie was alright, I enjoyed watching the Prince and his acrobatic moves, and the fight scenes, and his constant bickering with the princess. But...the plot was kinda predictable.

And...we went back after that.

Shrek

2010-05-22T12:00:00.002+08:00

Soon and I watch Shrek yesterday. It's still funny, and...full of romance bits -_-

Dinner with Wai at Zanmai~ the golden inari~

I hung around at Wai's shop later, and finally bought a pair of shoes from his shop.

Holidays

2010-05-20T11:56:00.002+08:00

And I have no idea what to write about.

Been reading Harry Potter again. Dunno why.

DotA-ing a lot. It's really loads of fun to play with the Dz' crew.

Oh. And studying. =.= Exam P!

The car still isn't here.

Very short holidays, only two weeks.

Last night, I had a dream in which I haven't finished my exams! Horrible...and for some reason YY fetched me to the exams. @_@ Maybe I miss him loads? Lol. (I'M NOT GAY AH)

And...that's it for now.

Exams are over!

2010-05-16T10:53:00.001+08:00

Blog is dead!

Sigh.

Night Fury

2010-04-18T21:25:00.001+08:00

Most fearsome dragon that behaves like a cute dog. LOL

"How To Train Your Dragon" is an awesome show. Go watch it. I think it's better than Alice. Haha.

Wai is working at Adidas Original. Can't la, that guy. Keeps cursing Adidas, and even recommends customers to go to other shoe shops depending on their needs, cause to him, "it's for the good of society, not for the profits of the shop". LOL

Dinner at Carl's Jr. again. Today I ate a large meal. Cause I ordered what Soon ordered. :D

Bats

2010-04-11T00:37:00.002+08:00

Yea, I had this freaky experience with bats when I was in Standard 6.

I went on a school trip to Sarawak. The hotel where we stayed was situated kinda close to a jungle. So one night, my friend and I went walking around the hotel. It was quite gloomy at certain places, and totally dark at others. So we were walking around this dark corridor when we realized we needed some lights.

So, we turned on our torchlights and shone them around.

There was this wall behind us. And when we shone our light on it, we nearly yelled. THE WHOLE FREAKING WALL WAS COVERED BY BATS. They were silent as hell for some reason and when we flashed our lights on them they started fluttering around. Freaked the hell out of us.

Needless to say, we ran from that hallway and never returned.

Wimps. LOL.

Anne's Farewell Dinner (sort-of)

2010-03-25T19:15:00.005+08:00

I picked Liang up, and we ended up at Anne's house too early. Luckily her mom came home after a while, so we could go in. (we were sitting in the car and roasting outside)

We chatted with her mom for a long time, and heard all about how they rushed to get things done so Anne could go to Australia. Fortunately, they managed to settle a few things quite quickly, like the visa.

After Anne was ready, we headed to Shogun, at Pyramid.

The best thing about eating there is that you could take as much of anything as you want, even expensive stuff that would cost a fortune elsewhere.

Unfortunately, food didn't taste excellent. Tasty enough, but nothing too special.

Liang wasted a lot of food, he would take a couple of bites out of something, then push it aside, so that he could eat more of other things. :)

Hei hei hei it's Anne.

Sadly, they didn't allow us to snap photos of food. But Liang did anyway. Heh.

Ysosrs? @_@

Rushed group pic. :D

We will miss you Anne!

And then it's Liang's turn to leave next. Huhuhu, I'm left here. o.o

Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?

2010-03-19T21:40:00.017+08:00

Woohoo! Watched Alice in Wonderland!

Had lunch at Zanmai before the movie.

I brought a camera today! :)

And those two idiots kept calling me 'Ah Beng', cause they think I camwhore. Wth? And it got worse, evolving into Low Beng Hui, and then everything I did suddenly became related to Ah Beng-ism!

Tasty inari...Soon's favorite. Originally he was gonna eat only inari, until we offered to pay for his meal. Said he was broke. Cheapskate XD

Wai sampling Soon's soup.

We didn't get our raw eggs! Our family restaurant failed us today!

Alice In Wonderland! Enjoyed the show, liked how nonsensical that world was, and all the strange characters. Liked the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat the most. Hatter ran the same way Jack Sparrow did, or is that how J.D runs? Found that strange... o_O

The highlight of the movie wasn't exactly the plot IMHO, but the characters, all so weird and wonderful, and dangerous. Rawr. Sadly seats weren't too good. The theater was FULL.

The ending was really boring though.

Went shopping a bit after that. Soon wanted to buy plushies for his sister.

Count the number of ways you think this picture looks wrong, then multiply by 100.

We walked all over the place. I had a look at shoes. Need a new pair soon :D

Basically, we were waiting for dinner time, so we walked about randomly and indulged in a bit of chick-gazing. XD

Yea! Dinner at BBQ Plaza.

Wai noticed me trying to snap his photo secretly, and laughed out loud?

Awesome dinner. We ooh-ed and aah-ed (like a trio of idiots) over the beef, watching its juices dribble out. Admired each and every piece of meat we cooked. And it seems that without HGY, there wasn't that much fighting for scraps and stuff. But we miss the guy.

BEEF!

YOU LA THE POSER.

Good eats.

Wai and I.

Soon and I.

Last but not least, Soon and Wai. Rawr.

We stood near the lion's head while waiting for parents to arrive, and talked there. And that was mostly 'serious conversation'. Lol.

And that was the end of the day.

All the best in your exams Wai! :)

The Psycho Aspect of Exams

2010-03-11T19:00:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I believe exams not only test you on how much you know about a subject matter, they also test you on your mental strength.

If, in an examination, the first question is a really tough question on a simple topic, and you struggle to complete that question, you'll probably be psychologically weakened when you're ready to tackle the remaining questions.

I'm not referring to any particular exam paper I've sat for, it's just something that I wondered about on the train just now. And I've been wondering the papers are set that way; as in, whether lecturers/teachers intend to achieve such an effect and just destroy your confidence if possible before the remaining questions cut you down ruthlessly.

For some people, who're really knowledgeable and confident in the subject matter, it's okay, cause they'll probably not go all wobbly in the knees right away. I suppose this is an effective method to separate the pretenders from the really confident ones. Haha.

It was really funny today when Yong, Phoebe, Daphaney and I stood outside a classroom and watched some of our classmates (we were separated into two groups) as they sat for our Financial Economics test paper. Analysis of Examination Behavior? We were trying to determine how difficult the test was by observing them. Sadly, we didn't get many clues. Haha.

More tests coming up next week. Alice, wait for me!! :D

This Is Our Country

Totally 'ARGH'.

Serious Zhen, Serious Sew, Serious Soon

2010-02-19T22:19:00.002+08:00

Ahaha what a fun day.

I had lunch at Zanmai with Wai and Soon. Soon the sesat one went to FTZ -.-'

Lunch was a happy affair, as usual. Only difference was that Soon only ordered one dish.

Soon wanted to buy a game, but couldn't find it. So after that, we went to Point Extreme.

And played L4D2. We finished three campaigns. After that, we played Serious Sam! Haha. We managed to go further than we did before, and those new maps were hilarious and also somewhat difficult. The enemy's numbers were overwhelming and the three of us (nicknamed Serious Zhen, Serious Sew and Serious Soon) had to play frantically and furiously to survive the waves of enemies.

We also decided spontaneously, during lunch, to have dinner at Pyramid as well. So we went to our 'Family Restaurant 2'...Carl's Jr. LOL (Zanmai is number 1)

Hope to see them soon again :D

Hi, CNY Update

2010-02-18T18:09:00.003+08:00

Went back to hometown for a couple of days. Monday and Tuesday. Had loads of fun past midnight on Monday, cause I played card games with my cousins. And losers had their legs drawn on.

We played Donkey...and I lost two rounds while everyone lost only one!

My lovely leg. The others had the sole of their feet drawn. I opted for the top, cause I wouldn't have survived the tickling.

And that...was pretty much my hols. Lol.

Wanna know what I did today? I woke up pretty late, but after I did, I pretty much just sat at my table doing Actuarial Math exercises for the whole day.

Sad life? XD

Here's hoping I get to go out tomorrow for some fun.

Nian and Tek Yit's Farewell Party

2010-01-31T20:25:00.002+08:00

I went with Hou to the party, at Nian's house.

It was a barbeque party, and by the time we arrived, quite a lot of guests were there. Nian's SAM friends, Kaye, Ali, Ding, Teck Wei, Cheah Xien, Mun Li and others whom I didn't know.

We started eating first, and other guests came soon after, including David, Jake, Wilson, Teck We and others.

Nian was really busy, running all over the place, talking to everyone and making sure we were all alright. His parents were awesome too, his dad did a lot of the BBQ-ing and his mom getting stuff prepared.

Oh, his dog was really adorable LOL. It answered to any name you call it, and sometimes it walked on two legs without any prompting. So cute weh!

Food was aplenty, perhaps too much. Especially the chicken for the BBQ. No matter how many we ate there still seemed to be a lot in the pot, and his parents told us that there was another pot full, waiting.

Wai came rather late. But he came :)

We sat around in little groups, and chatted about life and stuff. When it came to food they loved teasing Hou about being a featherweight.

I thought of going home earlier, but looking at the food left, and the company, I decided to hang around. And it was only past 1 o' clock that I finally went back home.

Ah...another one for Aus. Nian's leaving on 4th of February.

:(

Yamcha @ KK

2010-01-30T09:51:00.004+08:00

Liang picked Jia Yin and I up, and we went to pick Rizwan up.

We parked outside his house and waited for a while before calling him. We said that we waited for 20 minutes, just to tease him, and he said that we could have called. But Jia and Liang kept saying they wanted to save that 20 cents.

After that, we picked Chin Xia up, and headed to Anne's place. On the way, I talked about Dragon Age with Riz, and somehow, the conversation got steered in the wrong direction. I asked him whether he had romanced some of the characters, and later on, it somehow led to 'doing it with rats/spiders'. Cause rats were the first creatures I killed in the game, but the dirty minds sitting in the front seats (Jia and Liang :) said that I did it with rats. =.='

And when they asked about spiders and Riz clarified they were 'Giant Spiders', we laughed all the harder.

We picked Anne up, and then drove around looking for a place to have supper. At the roundabout, Anne would tell Liang "12 o' clock" or such, but Riz didn't seem to know what that meant.

The place we went to was called Jalan Vanilla Anggerik or something. And someone said it was gay-ish. And then we wondered if Rizwan Vanilla would be a nice name. LOL

At McD, we sat down, and spent a few minutes laughing and talking before ordering food. They had this discount sundae that's given with meals ordered. And so, everyone started trying to convince each other to order meals. Liang was the most persuasive; he kept asking me to order a meal...or walk home.

In the end, I went for Oreo Mcflurries. It seemed that Liang ordered McChicken, but the lady gave him fried chicken. The others ordered french fries. I realized I was hungrier than I thought, so I told them I would order fries as well. They kept asking me not to, and to just eat, but I went ahead.

At the counter, I changed my mind, and ordered fried chicken. And when I got back to the table, Riz had this totally astonished look on his face as he asked, "They gave you chicken instead of fries?" We all burst out laughing at him. It was a priceless moment.

Riz said that when he hangs out with his Singaporean mates, whenever a girl was nearby they would go, "3 o' clock". And then we realized: How could he not know about the directions at the roundabout? Or maybe only for girls. :)

There were a lot more crazy stuff we talked about, but still, '3 o' clock', 'Doing rats/spiders' and '20 minutes wait' would probably be the highlights of the night. For some reason. Oh, and 'Illegal logging'. :)

T'was a great night.

******************************************************

Stop with the crazy dreams!

A few nights ago, I dreamt that I had to protect a single mother, her two kids, and the nuclear weapon she had in her backpack. In a place that looked eerily similar to one of the levels in L4D2's 'Dead Center' campaign.

Two nights ago, I dreamt that my dad was an illegal immigrant in this country, and that we would have to return to his home country called Mahabi (I googled it, and couldn't find a country with that name wth). We weren't deported, we just had to go make a passport or something, and then we could come back here to live. As Malaysians. Makes sense?!

And last night, I dreamt that there was a war in my apartment's swimming pool. And in another unrelated dream, I went through a treasure hunt that had elements of parkour in it. And knowing dreams, the moves included jumping off a two-storey building's roof. But it was a fun dream.

Update

2010-01-23T12:12:00.002+08:00

First week's over.

Things so far are fine. My lecturers are nice people, though I haven't met the tutors yet.

Subjects seem interesting. Cause I'm starting to take core subjects, actuarial stuff. Including counting how long more a person has to live. :D

My class seems to have shrunk again. But that's fine. Smaller class = better study environment.

No classes on Fridays~~> :D

For once, UTAR didn't mess up the timetable.

Avatar

2010-01-17T20:41:00.002+08:00

Finally watched Avatar with Wai and Soon today. Bloody long show, but it was nice. Graphics were awesome, too bad the storyline was, as Soon put it, cliched.

And every time the Na'Vi went through one of their rituals, that Soon grabbed my shoulders and started swaying! Idiot! (he was sitting behind me)

We had lunch at Zanmai. Drank too many cups of ocha and ended up feeling rather bloated.

Then, I went to buy a bag for uni use. After that, we headed to the computer devices section so that Soon could make some purchases. He wanted to buy a dance mat (@@), but they didn't have it.

Afterward, we headed to SS15 to a shop selling clothes. Some kinda factory-outlet store. Wai's mom was there. Soon and I tried on some shirts, but they either didn't fit us, or stock had run out. Once Wai made some selections, we went to FTZ and played one L4D2 campaign.

That was it, and also the last day of my holidays. Back to UTAR tomorrow.

Midvalley Today

2010-01-14T20:21:00.003+08:00

Met up with Jae Sen (again), Fishie and Hui Ting and we went to Midvalley for a movie!

We watched 'Bodyguards and Assassins'. Fishie kept watching from behind her hands. She didn't really like all the fighting parts because they were kinda violent.

After spending some time studying a directory, we decided to have lunch at Sushi King. I couldn't help making comparisons of that place to Zanmai Sushi, such as the flavor and the pricing of the two respective restaurants. The best thing at Sushi King was the free green tea :)

We went to the pet store nearby (can't remember its name), looked at pets, made funny comments, poked fun at Fishie, and later on walked around a bit before going home.

I Got Out of the House!

2010-01-13T18:36:00.002+08:00

Finally got to watch Sherlock Holmes. Watched it today with Jae Sen, Jia Wen and Nok Ling.

I've never read the books, so can't make any comparisons, but I think the show was pretty good, if a little hard to follow. The characters all speak like bullet trains. But the 'chemistry' between Watson and Holmes was great. It was a pleasure to watch every scene with the two together in it, be it fighting or when they're trying to solve a puzzle etc.

We had lunch at Pasta Zanmai. First time I've been there. The pasta I ordered (can't remember the name) had chicken and egg. Was quite nice, but it tasted a little bland.

Afterward, we went shopping. And later when Sheng Wang joined us, we went for an ice-cream/chit-chat session at McD. We left when Nok Ling's mom came to pick her up.

Damn rain!

Malaysia is a Country on the Decline

2010-01-09T23:47:00.003+08:00

Some idiots tried to torch a few churches recently.

Notice how Malaysia is always featured on CNN for stupid and infamous things?

Najib can toss his '1Malaysia' into the bin, cause from what we're all seeing here, it doesn't seem to be working. He says he wants to protect everyone in the country without being biased? Well, right now, the Christian community's rights to the freedom of worship is being challenged by these terrorists (and I do not mean only the arsonists) within the country, so I think there's no better time than now to suit action to his words.

Arrest those idiotic cretins and have them publicly punished, instead of just talking loudly during press conferences, and then proceed to sweep everything under the carpet. However, this may be hoping for too much, as our government has never actually caught and punished culprits appropriately. And I won't be surprised if they suddenly turn the blame towards Christians.

Some people mentioned before that demonstrations are 'Not the Malaysian way'. I hope they will now say that 'torching churches is also not the Malaysian way'.

And anyway, I suppose we should all pray for peace to be maintained and that we all use our Allah-given gift of reasoning instead of letting emotions lead the way.

(I really do not know what to type here. I thought of using an offensive, insulting and sarcastic tone, but I realized it wouldn't be very helpful at all, so I settled for a random expression of my thoughts and opinions. That's why things seem to be disconnected and disorderly. Heehee)

Langkawi Day 2 & 3

2010-01-02T10:18:00.054+08:00

Day 2:

I couldn't sleep well throughout the night. Restless sleep.

So, I got up pretty early, and when everyone woke up, we went to the hotel's restaurant to have breakfast.

It was a buffet-style breakfast, and it wasn't really that good. Limited choices, mostly bread. And the dishes weren't that tasty either.

Eagle!

After dinner, we drove out in search of adventure! I mean, to go sightseeing.

We decided to go to the Seven Wells Waterfall.

Passed by a dock.

We walked up the hill. And it was TIRING. For someone who hasn't exercised in ages, the walk really tired my legs out completely.

Agh. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to see on the walk up/down. At least the air was chilly over there.

The 'wells'!

There were quite a few families there. The water was really cold, and the scenery was breathtaking.

It's...not exactly a waterfall up here. Just flowing water. The waterfalls are lower, down the mountain.

Waterfa-, uh...not really.

Monkeys! The nasty creatures tried to attack my mom and another kid there. The one in the middle of the pic was the culprit. The boss of the gang.

See the sea.

We spent about half an hour up there, relaxing, enjoying the sights and the wind. Lots of people started appearing, mostly foreigners, and some even went swimming.

We didn't stay too long cause we wanted to ride in the cable car. We headed downhill and went to the Oriental Village.

The place was crowded...and blazing hot.

In my ignorance, I loudly proclaimed them to be 'timuns', and other people nearby promptly laughed at me.

Crazy queue.

Waited for ages before dad got the ticket. And then waited for ages till we got onto the cable cars.

While waiting for dad to buy tickets, my bro and I went to see the nearby animals in the...mini-zoo thingy.

Agh he's pulling the ears off!

Rabbut.

It comes...

And away we go!

Now, that looks familiar...

Very nice.

Suspension bridge!

We took a few photos up there.

Bro and I.

The bridge still freaks me out.

We had lunch at an Italian place.

Awesome...

We went to the Underwater World after that.

I'm sure most of you will know what it's like. Walk through the place, look at all sorts of animals, fish, exhibits etc.

So I'll just post up some photos.

Arapaima.

Whiscash is not amused.

Anaconda!

Uh...ducks?

WHY DID THE BIRD CROSS THE ROAD!!?!

Hello my spiny cousin.

Saw some penguins, but all the pictures I took of them aren't nice. And the sea lions swim too quickly for me to properly snap a photo of them.

The mantis shrimp, I think.

Big turtles! Leaf turtles or something.

Sharks.

Ray.

Turtle!

Hairy Otter.

I think they're...pufferfish? Can't remember.

Prawns and their spines =.=

An upside-down jellyfish. No, seriously, that's the name.

Sea cucumber.

Hermit crab.

Jellyfish! So cute...

Sea nettle jellyfish!

Leafy seadragon.

Lionfish.

Chambered nautilus. LOLWUT?

Some of the pictures were dark cause flash was prohibited.

We finished touring the place soon after, and returned to the hotel to rest and bathe.

In the evening, we went to Eagle Bay, to check out the huge eagle statue there.

Took a few photos there too.

The eagle!

Peaceful.

Jellyfish! :)

Bye eagle.

And it was back to Kuah Town for us. We did some shopping and bought lots of chocolates. No alcohol though.

We went for dinner soon after. Again, we didn't really know where to eat, so we ended up at a Thai seafood restaurant. Thai Paradise or something.

We ordered quite a lot of dishes. The food was pretty good, and the price was definitely more reasonable than that of the Langkawi Sunrise Restaurant.

That night, we just relaxed in the hotel and watched TV, as well as eat some of the chocolates and snacks we bought. And I slept well that night.

Day 3:

Nothing much. We checked out after breakfast, then took a flight home.

We stalked chickens XD

Langkawi Day 1

2010-01-01T18:28:00.020+08:00

I went to Langkawi for a holiday with my family from Tuesday to Thursday.

Day 1:

Went to the airport in the afternoon, flight was at 2 pm. And it was delayed.

Bro and I at the LCCT.

We flew AirAsia.

Take-off was horrible. I was badly jolted and felt queasy for a little while afterwards. Dad was quite nauseous I think. Mom and bro seemed ok. Bro kept staring at clouds and taking photos of them.

Uh...some islands around Langkawi whose names I dunno.

Ooh. Ship!

Those patterns were caused by speeding boats.

More shots from the plane.

Landing was alright however. Some of the passengers gave a round of applause when we touched down.

Map.

It was a little difficult to get a car, and my parents had to bargain a bit. We finally settled on a Myvi lol.

We arrived in Langkawi pretty late in the afternoon, after 3pm, so we headed straight to the hotel to check-in. We stayed in the Awana Porto Malai hotel, south of the island.

Santa.

My bro and I took one room, and my parents took an adjacent one.

Our room :D

We checked in quickly enough, and then my bro and I went down to explore the area. The hotel was on the seaside.

Boats~

Out to sea~

Staring out to sea.

Where do you want to go?

This works! Seriously! Who needs the card key.

In the evening, we drove to Kuah Town for dinner and to do some shopping. We didn't really know where to have dinner, so we just ate at the Langkawi Sunrise Restaurant. The food was ok, we ordered pretty ordinary stuff.

The special dish. Frogs! :D

Toilets get a signboard =.=

Bought me a couple of beers I haven't tried before. I had the San Miguel that night. It was a Filipino beer =.=

Not that good I guess. The other one tasted much much better.

Spot the similarities.

And that was pretty much the first day.

Second day to be covered in the next post.

FTZ With Soon

2009-12-26T22:01:00.002+08:00

Went to FTZ today.

David ffk.

And we played L4D2. Nothing much, the usual own zombies/get owned routine, but the best part of the day IMHO is in the following 'conversation'.

I was playing Ellis and spamming the 'Taunt' command. He'd say stuff like "We knocked the piss outta them' and 'Why don't you remember that for next time, you sons of b****es!'

Once, he said, "We beat the dog shit out of them!", and Soon's Rochelle replied, "Yo, shut up!".

I continued spamming and said, "Yo, who's your daddy?"

And Rochelle replied...

"Mother of Mercy!"

GG.

Zombies~

2009-12-20T19:54:00.000+08:00

Watched Zombieland. Nice show, a very fun ride, and very funny. Reminded Soon and I a lot about L4D2.

I spent the afternoon at Pyramid with Soon and Wai, watched said movie, ate, ate, uh, jalan-jalan, then went home.

Tomorrow's mah last exam. After 11 a.m, I'm FREE.

Ah Lians = mobs?

2009-12-09T23:46:00.003+08:00

Just for kicks, I read an article on Ah Lians on Wikipedia...and this following paragraph really cracked me up:

"Also, an Ah Lian is a common encounter while exploring Malaysia or Singapore, but they do give out nice amounts of exp, so training on them may be beneficial. Also, in Petaling Street, the boss Hao Po spawns every 50 minutes. Defeating her gives out 50, 000 exp and legendary equipment, including "Misplaced face" which is needed in the quest "Leng lui love you"."

Eat Sing Eat

2009-12-05T15:29:00.007+08:00

I went to Pyramid on Friday to meet up with my Teambuilding classmates, as well as the lecturers and a few other non-Teambuilding students.

Total = 25 people. Not the full class, but numerous enough.

Half were late. I was quite early, so instead of waiting around for my groupmates Chee Aun and Chris, as well as those who were coming with them (ya, almost all of them were coming from KL), I went with friends from the other groups for lunch at Kim Gary.

And before the food came, I had to leave to meet up with a rather lost Chee Aun. LOL

Made me walk through pretty much the whole of Pyramid before I found him. And after that, he didn't come along, and I went back to Kim Gary alone for lunch.

Hm...I may have come off as aloof and quiet because I didn't really talk much with the others. Truth was, I was feeling a little out of place, cause I didn't know most of them well enough, and was...well, shy. LOL. Furthermore, I was kinda lost with the Mandarin they were speaking. So I just finished my lunch and listened to their talk.

After lunch, we met up with all the others, who've not eaten yet. The former group went ice-skating, while this late group went for lunch. However, Chee Aun, Chris' friends Ah Soong and another Chris (Chris Kan), and I went to Red Box to get a room first.

I didn't know most of the people who came for the karaoke session. I only knew Chris, Chee Aun and our lecturer whom we call Ms. Yap. It was a pretty fun afternoon. Early on, when it was only the four of us there, we sang a few English songs, like Linkin Park's songs (damn hard to sing), 'The Reason' by Hoobastank (also kinda difficult), 'Lonely' by Akon (Chipmunk phail), as well as some Chinese songs. Later on when the full group came they mostly sang Mandarin songs and I listened. Cause I didn't know how to sing. Kinda like a concert. And my lecturer was pretty good at singing! Her voice was good. She must be a karaoke regular.

We finished our karaoke session at about 5.30 pm, so we went to meet up with the skaters. However they were not ready to leave yet, but were taking a short break. After yelling back and forth about dinner plans, Chris, Chee Aun, Chris Kan, Ah Soong and I went to Yuen Steamboat. To get seats first.

We must have given the waiter at the door a shock when we told him we had 25 people. But he handled it and found us two large tables on the second floor, after making us confirm that there would be THAT many people eating.

We didn't wait for the rest, and started eating. We managed to snag some of those chicken wings that Yuen was famous for. There weren't that many people at that time so it was a relatively easy win. They tasted pretty good...but honestly, nothing too special.

Chee Aun wondered how the restaurant earned its profits. After all, he said, if there were people like us there, who were famished, we'd probably eat more than the amount we paid for, and suppose that on a particular day, MOST of the customers who came could eat a lot, wouldn't the restaurant face losses on that day?

Well, we thought that for each glutton there, there would be someone who wouldn't be able to eat much, so it's balanced out.

Later on, the rest gathered here as well. And at this time, a waitress brought a new tray of chicken wings, and we were too distracted to notice. Epic phail, we only managed to get four pieces. Yea, at Yuen's, people FIGHT for the chicken wings. Like a pack of hungry dogs given a juicy leg of lamb or something.

The others of our group got settled down and begin eating. And it became war later on with the chicken wings as everyone fought harder and harder to get them. Heck, sometimes some people waited for half an hour beside the tray for the chicken to come. By the third or fourth round, some of our group joined in the chicken fight just for kicks, not because the chicken was so good. Hahaha.

My table had a lot of powerful eaters. I think I did pretty good myself, managed to consume quite a lot. Mr Lim (our other lecturer), Chris, Chee Aun and the rest also ate quite a lot. However there would always be a limit to our bellies. Hence the real 'champions' would show themselves. A guy named Khim Yao at our table kept on eating even after the rest of us stopped. Not bad!

The folks at the other table ate even less. Maybe cause they had more girls over at the table (I'm not saying girls can't eat as much as guys or more). Once most of us were done with eating, we started taking photos. Wun Sun's DSLR was used. She let others do the photographing instead.

It was also Badcat's birthday. We celebrated with him, but we had no cake. So...Ah Soong and Chris Kan put scoops of ice-creams into cups and stuck candles into them. Impromptu ice-cream 'cakes'!

Spent more time there after that, chatting and taking photos. And then we paid up and left.

**********************************************************

Went back to hometown. Attended a wedding.

And.

PUT. ON. MORE. WEIGHT.

I FEEL fat now.

Study break is here. Time to stardee, and perhaps fit a couple of yumcha sessions in at night.

Dead and Back

2009-12-02T20:49:00.002+08:00

Computer died a few days ago, but was resuscitated.

I got Left 4 Dead 2, but...it doesn't seem to be working properly. :(

And some Aussie-Malaysians are back!

International Sign?

2009-11-24T21:26:00.002+08:00

We learnt Nonverbal Messages today, during Oral Com lecture, and we were talking about emblems, where a gesture or action may be used to replace a word. Example: Thumbs-up, Ok, No! etc

Of course, the middle finger was mentioned.

And our lecturer just said, "Well, it's an international sign. People know what it means. If you're driving and you show your middle finger to another driver, he isn't going to be wondering what it is, right?"

LOL.

And she categorized it under 'basic gestures' later. Awesome.

Teambuilding - The Last Day

2009-11-20T19:42:00.016+08:00

We had our last Teambuilding lesson today. And it ended with a super-extended photo-session. It's been an awesome series of ten lessons. Made loads of new friends, tried out new stuff and had tons of fun.

We had drama performances yesterday and today. My group did ours yesterday. The plot simply involved office conflicts, and was intended to demonstrate the importance of teamwork. The perfect motto for our drama would have been: Together we stand, divided we fall.

We had a couple of practice sessions throughout the week...here are some pictures.

Digression: Had breakfast with Chee Aun (leader) and Chris a few days ago. The noodles were really good. Taiwanese style or something.

May Yan and Yin Chee, doing their thing. May Yan played an extremely efficient and skilled worker in our company (Durex), but during the climax part of the story, she left the company due to problems with the other characters (Chris and I), and Yin Chee the evil manager hired her, made use of her talents, and later sacked her :D

Chee Oon and Chris (they're not acting in this picture, btw). Chee Oon played the boss of the company, while Chris played my best friend, whom I later quarreled with because of a misunderstanding.

Leader stabs Chris with chopsticks.

Part of our script. GG script.

Doing slides? Checking for info? Nah...Facebooking.

Leader and Horng Shi the secretary (Henceforth known as Horng She), who's a sissy guy in love with Chee Aun the manager. :D

Break time :D

Yin Chee's club (she also plays a loan shark albeit an innocent and cute looking one LOL)

Poisoned. :D

Langgar orang already, then walk away. WOW.

Group 5's drama.

Hentai stealing 'underwear' - Group 4's drama.

Group 2.

Aih. I didn't take a photo of Group 3. Regret ahhhhhhhhhh!

Group 1. That's the 'queen' asking her son to marry. And he's throwing a tantrum and refusing.

Overall I think Group 1 performed the best. Funny and totally engaging. Interesting characters too, especially the secretly-gay prince, the evil 'Banana Witch', Cinderella and some other princesses. Oh...instead of leaving a glass slipper behind during the dance part...one of the ladies left a paper bra. LOL

Video below, enjoy! I'm sorry I didn't record the whole dance sequence, so I missed out most of the first girl's dance time :(

This is probably the best subject I've taken in UTAR, so far.

:)

Push or Pull

2009-11-07T21:24:00.001+08:00

When my bro and I are at a petrol station, waiting for dad to pump petrol, we'll observe the doors of the convenience store.

Just to see who would push when the door says 'TOLAK' and pull when it's 'TARIK'. LOL

And we'd be happy and make merry when someone does what the door sign says, and complain and spit insults whenever the person does the opposite.

We're strange.

And only earlier, I realized that sometimes we end up finishing each other's sentences without noticing it @_@

GAME DAY

2009-11-06T16:51:00.008+08:00

We played games during the Teambuilding and Leadership Skills lecture today.

There are normally six teams during other activities, but today, we merged two teams into one. My team (Team 6) merged with Team 3 led by a guy named Robson. Overall, each of the merged teams would have about 12-14 members.

The lecturers had already set the classroom up, and turned it into an obstacle course. There were crisscrossing strings tied everywhere in the classroom, supposedly as a 'death trap' kinda situation (think of those motivational camps where a team would have to get through 'spiderwebs'). Each team's members would have to navigate the strings without touching them (hair is fine though), and there were two checkpoints, with challenges for the team members before they can move forward. Oh, did I mention that everyone had to crawl on the floor to avoid the strings?

Ok. Before we could get going, we had to select three people to perform special duties. A 'doctor' who would have to 'revive' anyone who touched the strings (if you touch a string you go back to the start, then the doctor would have to touch you and let you go again). If the doctor 'died', well...it would be "Hasta la vista, baby!". For the doctor.

And then, we had to select a 'helper'. This guy doesn't need to crawl through the string-maze. Instead, he would go around pulling up or holding down strings so that teammates can get through the tight, tight places. He can only hold one string at a time though.

Finally, we select a pengawas, a watcher of sorts, to keep an eye on other teams and stop them from cheating, or to send them back to the beginning if they failed or something.

We selected Yin Chee a.k.a Shadow to be our doctor, since she's most probably the smallest member in the team. Chris was the helper, cause he's the largest, and finally, Chee Aun, the Team 6 leader, became the watcher. Cause, he's tall. :D

The rest of us would do the crawling. Inevitably, the doctor was left behind in case any of us failed to survive the deathly-tangly confusion of strings.

Goodness, the strings are almost invisible here!

First challenge. First, place five bottle caps on your palm. Then launch them into the air, try to get them to land on the back of your hand, then toss them up and catch them. Guys have to catch at least three; girls, two.

Everyone got through rather easily, after one or two tries. I stayed behind, and struggled to get three. Took me a lot of tries. Dammit, I really sucked at this! :S

Other teams going at it.

The second challenge involved lighting candles. We had to tie a string to a candle and hold the candle by the string. Then, one person would be given a flame, and he/she would have to light all his/her teammates' candles.

We did this twice, cause apparently we broke the rules in the first round. Either way, we still did it quick enough to move on, to the final round.

Treasure-hunting!

We were given a clue, and sent off to look for other clues, which would lead up to the final item that we had to find.

My teammates. We ran all over the campus, searching everywhere for clues. This is where more brains would be better than just a few. We had to figure out the clues quick, but most of the time, we had no problems, except for one particular clue (more on that later)

Here are some places where we found some clues (eight clues in total): toilets (one each in male and female toilets), hidden in a gap between a tree's branches, slotted into a book in the library (this was the only one we found difficult, we wasted a lot of time running here and there during this part, cause we couldn't find the book at first, and went elsewhere, and later went back to the library blablablagrhghlsnore), hidden behind a chair at the back of a classroom etc.

The librarians were really helpful! LOL they helped us look for the book.

We were possibly the fastest team at first, but in the end, the library clue had us fumbling around, and we wasted valuable time. We finished last.

Still, it was a great day. I guess the activity sort of helped build and promote teamwork, cause we had to work with each other to get things done, even though we don't know one another.

After it all, there was a photo-taking session, then...class dismissed.

**********************************************************

Omg I had diarrhea for the past couple of days. Had to crap in UTAR. Couldn't hold it in. What's wrong @_@!

Inner Beauty VS Outer Beauty

2009-10-30T18:37:00.002+08:00

Fufufu. We had a debate during today's Leadership and Teambuilding lecture.

The lecturer allowed 'rojak' language. So most of the debate ended up being spoken in Mandarin, with scattered bits of English here and there.

There were six teams. Mine chose the topic in the title above. And we were the ones supporting Inner Beauty.

Well, we won. The opposing team gave solid points, and so did we. The judges mostly agreed that we were almost evenly matched, during the break before the conclusion.

And the conclusion sort of...did it. I gave the conclusion for my team, versus theirs, and while they just reinforced their earlier points, I did that, as well as added a few things I thought of at the spur of the moment.

So...the conclusion sort of helped clinch the win for our team la *bangga* XD

KIDDING K.

My teammates thought I did that quite well, and supposedly one of our opponents said I seemed really confident, but in actual fact...I was really really tensed up when I was speaking. Gaaah.

I think my teammates were awesome. They did most of the arguing, especially our team leader Chee Aun and another speaker Shadow (her name means 'shadow' in Mandarin :)

Chris, the first speaker, gave a really nice introduction, and he opened fire upon the opposition almost immediately.

The fourth speaker in our team, Horng Shi really challenged the opponent's team to answer questions which are really difficult. One thing I noticed bout him when he was speaking: He ended most of his sentences with 'Ok?', which, to me, somehow managed to sound condescending towards the opponents. LOL

Even the two team members who didn't actually debate, Chee Oon and May Yan gave a lot of valuable points and ideas when we were brainstorming yesterday. It was just good teamwork that we managed to get ourselves ready for it within just one night.

But this debate is probably just the tip of the iceberg. We still have an event to plan, as well as a drama to perform in the upcoming weeks. But for now, this is probably one of the subjects in which I'm actually having the most fun. :D

Facebook Blogging

2009-10-25T22:15:00.005+08:00

Sometimes it's much easier to just chuck a random thought or comment on Facebook than actually blogging seriously about it here. No elaborations needed or anything, and if interesting enough, it would receive comments in a short moment.

Convenient. And that's what Twitter's supposed to be for, right?

o_O?

Subjects

2009-10-23T20:45:00.002+08:00

1) Teambuilding and Leadership Skills
It's one of the subjects I'm taking this semester. The name...makes it sound more like some self-development activity class or something.

No lectures, not tutorials. But GAMES.

A change from all the classes and work and stuff. We just go to class, follow the lecturers' instructions, and carry out some fun activities.

It's all pretty cool. I get to mingle around with people I don't know, and make new friends. They're also really interesting and fun people too.

The lecturers themselves are nice, so all in all, a subject that's a little more...relaxed than the rest.

2) Oral Communication and Interpersonal Skills
All about communication. It's not all about talking though. We still go through lecture classes like other subjects cause it's quite exam-oriented. This is the only subject where the grade is actually counted in the GPA/CGPA. Important.

People tell me they think it's boring, but honestly, I find the subject matter really interesting. Stuff about communication...nice! Sadly, the huge pile of assignments coupled with the short semester duration makes this subject a tough one to handle.

3) Pengajian Malaysia
Hoo-boy. Sejarah all over again. Some of the things we study look like they were directly ripped out of our old Sejarah textbooks.

3-hour lecture, twice a week. Killer.

4) Sun Zi's Art of War
Yes, we finally have military education at the tertiary level! Hooray for Malaysia!

Nope, bullshit.

:D

Don't get me wrong. We REALLY study Sun Zi's Art of War (THE Art of War). But not for war. We apply the same concepts to business. It's kinda interesting, though it's a bit odd to see pictures of money and pictures of soldiers and tanks all in the same page.

That's about it. Not a single Math subject in sight @_@

College Begins Again!

2009-10-19T20:00:00.002+08:00

Bleargh.

Pengajian Malaysia = Sejarah.

The lecture hall was packed. Noisy as hell.

TC Zoo

2009-10-01T20:24:00.002+08:00

Fishie's mom picked me up this morning. Already in the car were Fishie and Hui Ting. We were going to the KTM, and then to Midvalley.

The other two found it amusing that I had problems with the ticket machine. Aha, but just wait till later...

We first went to KL Sentral, where we were supposed to meet Jae Sen and Serena, and take another train to Midvalley after that. Today's the first day I'm traveling out to Midvalley using public transportation, and also my first outing there with friends. I've only gone there with my family in the past.

After we all met up, we waited for what seemed like ages for the train to arrive. Js was half-dead, sleepy as hell, his eye-lids not fully opened. Extremely...uh...cute?

We stood around talking and talking till the train came.

At Midvalley, we first went to the cinema to get tickets. Js wanted 'Where Got Ghost', and Serena agreed (mainly because Fishie, like me, is afraid of horror movies), but in the end, she managed to convince him to watch 'G-Force'. We bought the tickets first, then went for lunch at the Food Court.

I ate hotplate noodles, cause Serena ordered the same thing and it looked nice. Js' tomyam soup was awesome. Really spicy and really sour. Delicious and perfect in perking up sleepy people.

When we were almost done with our meals, Guet Peng arrived. She went to order Japanese food.

The lunch affair was great. It's been like forever since I've had a meal with these people, where back in those days, I had lunch/morning tea with them almost everyday. Though of course, some of them still have meals together probably almost all the time. Kampar people.

We wanted to go to the pet shop, to see FISH. Sadly, the place was closed. So we went to the lower floors cause Serena and Guet Peng wanted to check out some shops.

After that, we watched the movie. I would have thoroughly enjoyed the show if I were a few years younger. But to me, it was just entertaining. Cliched la, this kinda show. But it's ok, it's probably better than a lot of other shows out there. Since it's the post-blockbuster season. It's like a party where the best liquor has already been served, and now the Shandies get to come out.

Serena, Js and I bought some ice-cream from McDonalds after the movie. I still love the taste of the Oreo Mcflurries, but the things have become damned small. And the price still remains high.

Later, it was just a shopping session, where we went into many many shops to look at their wares. Mostly accessory shops and stuff, where Js and I probably wouldn't find anything suitable for ourselves. That didn't stop us from going in and messing with the things, from rings to necklaces to chains to hairbands to bags etc.

Actually, we were mostly just following Serena and Guet Peng. My, those two are really window-shoppers. Only Serena made a few purchases though.

As we walked, Js and I would just find many many ways to annoy Fishie. Js liked to step onto her shoes from behind, or block her from the front. I used my mouth, and just threw a whole load of bullshit at her. Hahahahaha. And 'Nini-chan' is a sure-fire way to get a strong reaction from her. LOL

I dunno bout the rest, but I was tired out from all the walking around. And on the way back, we had to stand as well. KTM's really packed in the evening, no difference from the LRT.

And then, Hui Ting and Fishie had to follow my lead when we took a bus home. Too bad they had to walk quite a distance to get to Fishie's home.

It was only when I was reading on the couch just now when I realized how exhausted I felt. My legs were also aching. And I fell asleep. Am I getting old or what?

David Cook and Soon

2009-09-28T19:56:00.002+08:00

Whenever you want Soon to do something for you, just tell him David Cook's doing it too. Then he'd join in!

Programming Discussion

2009-09-27T20:02:00.002+08:00

Yes, the studies never end for the tired student.

LOL la I wasn't out to do homework today. Wai picked me up and we went over to 1U. We were supposed to meet Soon there, at Carls' Jr., for lunch. At the same time, I'd be helping Wai out with his Programming Assignment.

Wai and I got lost walking around 1U. LOL. Cause we rarely go there.

The prices of the food has gone down in Carls' Jr.! Excellent!

After lunch, we hung around there, and I helped Wai out, mostly cause his lecturer hadn't properly explained the difficult chapters to them. To make things worse, the deadline is tomorrow >_>

We spent about 3 hours there I think. After Wai's laptop battery died out, we remained in our seats and talked. A lot. Bullshit mostly. Most hilarious. We were laughing all the way, and probably annoyed some nearby customers (damn, sorry)

We were allowed to refill drinks for free anyway, so why leave? :)

Well, we finally left when it was 4 something. Wai apologized to nearby people LOL

Awesome day. Haven't laughed so much and so hard in a long time. These guys are the best!

Trainyard

2009-09-27T10:09:00.002+08:00

The holidays are here.

Last night, I dreamt that the TC1 gang and I went for a holiday.

We decided to check out an abandoned (and supposedly haunted) trainyard. It was pretty funny and all, the dream. Wai Yun sorta got lost somewhere in the place but found his way out later.

We ended up meeting my AS coursemates there too -_-

Oh, and we all camped at the nearby limestone caves.

My dreams are rarely normal.

Theory of Interest

Motivation

2009-09-13T20:05:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, at the party, when I mentioned that I'm nervous bout my exams, Fong said, "Don't worry! You just write down 'I'm from 2007 5 Gamma', then you definitely can do! Cause 2007 5 Gamma is a really special class."

Lol. Not his exact words...but the same meaning la.

Farewell Party

2009-09-13T09:15:00.002+08:00

Went to Elyse's farewell party yesterday evening.

I thought I was late, but I ended up being one of the earliest. I didn't know any of Elyse's friends who were already there.

Later on, some Gammarians and other former SU students showed up. Gammarians crowded around one of the largest tables for dinner. Some had to share the other table with SU-ians.

The food was good.

Most of our conversation was about past times, those great moments we spent together as a class in Form 4 and Form 5. When you get together with ex-classmates and talk like this, it's easier to recall those fun things that happened.

Justin came. What a surprise. But only for a while, he had things to do. And I only found out yesterday that he's actually leaving for UK tomorrow morning. Everyone's flying off.

Liang was running around with Qis' camera the whole night. Fong kept insulting Mavin. They both said that the other was the person they least wanted to meet from Gamma, yet, they meet each other the most frequently! Lol.

We stayed for a long time. Apart from a few of Elyse's friends, we were the only ones left. We talked about our FRIM trip, bout all the silly things that happened during the trip, our Sports League back in Form 4 etc etc.

Those were great times man. We all seemed to miss high school. Haha.

Fanna, Qis and Jeremy left earlier than us. But when it was time to go, all of us left at once. -__-

The place certainly would have gotten quieter after that haha.

Aih. HGY will be leaving in two days. Elyse and Keith, a couple of weeks from now. Really, everyone is disappearing.

Last Outing With HGY

2009-09-06T23:05:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, we made plans to have a last outing with HGY.

Here's a brief snippet of the conversation:

Hiu Jian: hav 2 celebrate la finally gy is gone

Me: yea LOOL

HGY: ...

Me: THIS IS THE MOST EVIL THING I'VE HEARD ABOUT GY'S GOING

HGY: say until likedat

Me: LOOL

HGY: lol

Soon: FREAKING EVIL WEH BERUK

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA cool one <3

Soon: i stun
seriously
jaw dropped for few secs
gila evil
all hail beruk

HGY: my heart shattered

(End snippet)

So, just now, David, HGY, Soon, Hiu Jian and I went to Senjyu Sushi for dinner. The place gives a 'high-class' feel, and the food was definitely more expensive than Zanmai's. Sad thing is, it isn't really much better. Almost the same.

Dinner was a fun affair, as usual. HGY was like...a bit emo at first. Said that his face was burned off after sitting in front of the computer for the whole day.

David came late. The moment he came, he sat down, turned to HGY and said, "What a failure la you, your results suck!"

LOL. Seriously evil man.

Later on, during dinner, the conversation turned to A-levels again, and Hiu Jian mentioned that over a 100 people scored five As.

Then David happily said, "Yea la, so even if you get like, 5As, it's not that special, cause so many got it. So imagine la, those people with only 1A, they must feel damn sad lor etc etc"

Lol. He 'zha' HGY AGAIN. Seriously an evil guy. He gave HGY advice about going to UK.

"First thing you should do, go to those freshmen parties and smoke weed."

*vomits blood*

Then, he said, "When you go to UK, you need to find your gang of friends. Let's see, jocks...you ah...definitely can't join them (we all laughed out loud at this), nerds...AH, nerds can la for you."

I'm sometimes amazed at how much verbal abuse HGY can put up with. Not bad la that guy.

We wanted to go to Red Box after dinner, but when we checked the price (RM40 per person, crazy!), we decided to do other stuff. They wanted Final Destination, but Hiu Jian and I didn't want...so we stood around bickering for a long time about where to go, before going to the CC nearby =.=

We played CS. Lol. All the stupidness of AWP map came out. Including charging a sniper with only a knife etc etc. David owned. I fed. What the imbalanced gameplay.

Next, it was Snow World. Better this time, I killed a lot. Then after Hiu Jian left, it was Soon and I vs the other two. Then David made it a point to kill HGY at the start of everyone (team-killing LOL) before trying to fight Soon and I. It was hilarious I tell you. All the teammate killing and stuff, not to mention countless other random and silly moments, and we were just laughing our heads off. RM4 for the gaming session. So much cheaper. And equally fun, I guess.

HGY went to drop Soon at his place first, cause the latter's parents were already there. On the way, we passed by two policemen standing in the middle of the road. They gestured and signaled at HGY, and we were confused for a moment before HGY exclaimed, "SHIT I FORGOT TO TURN ON MY LIGHTS!". LOL. Luckily, they didn't stop us or anything.

Later on, HGY fetched me home. On the way, he got really weird and took his hands off the steering wheel on a stretch of empty road, laughing and saying, "Look ma, no hands!" while mimicking the motion of waves with them. LOL. I'll seriously miss this idiot.

When we were at a traffic light, he suddenly started punching empty air, shouting,"OH I DIDN'T KENA SAMAN THANK GOD! I'M SO LUCKYYYYY!!!"

Seriously. Weird. Guy.

We talked a lot of crap during the rest of the journey. Guess it's a pretty good final outing la...banyak stupid moments. (Of course it ain't gonna be the very last la, when he comes back we go out again ^_^)

Prawns!

2009-08-24T20:18:00.003+08:00

Prawns! District 9!

I watched it yesterday with Wai, HGY and my brother. The show was pretty cool. The main focus of the movie was on how humans treated the aliens and stuff la. Movie also had lots of 4-letter words (not LOVE), powerful alien weaponry that usually blew humans into a spray of blood in one shot, a really interesting main character and his alien buddy (check out the alien's blog at http://www.mnuspreadslies.com/), another badass robot (this movie season's full of them) etc.

Go watch it! Unless you intend to watch 'Up' instead (which I heard was a good show too).

We had lunch at Old Town's, SS15. After that, a couple of hours playing L4D at JS Cafe.

Days like these are numbered. HGY's flying off in September.

Damn.

I'm going to miss that guy.

Pei Leng says, "Ya."

Tutor asks, "Ok, who's your partner?"

Pei Leng replies, "Low Zhen Hui."

Tutor looks for my name, and asks, "Your brother ah?"

*class laughs*

WEEE~

2009-08-17T21:13:00.001+08:00

Finished Theory of Interest and Calculus midterms today!

Dr. Wong told us that for our previous Calculus test, he'd given everyone a bonus of 6 marks. However, 90% of us still failed the test.

=S

Maths Competition

2009-08-15T15:55:00.002+08:00

I took part in a Maths Competition today.

Only four of us from Actuarial Science Year One Sem Two students. Huey Chin (imba turtle), Victor (imba fella), Pui Yee (another imba one, imba driver today) and I (imba nub).

There were two categories. Category A was the Maths Test, the real stuff, Maths questions. Category B was a Maths Speedtest, 200 questions, 10 mins.

We did the speedtest first. Victor sat beside me. 200 questions were divided into two different sub-categories of 100 questions each. No difference or anything. Five minutes each.

Well, they asked simple arithmetic questions. Speedtest mah.

Example:

932
+ 439
- 385
- 156
= ____

BAH! Some people may have found that easy, but it took me an average of 20 seconds to answer one. I only managed to answer about 15-17 of the 100 questions in each sub-category. I think Victor managed around that many questions as well, and so did the two girls.

It seems the winner for Category B answered many many questions. Our ex-lecturer Mr. Liew said that there were competitors who could answer ALL 200 questions, at a rate of one question per two seconds. I wonder just how fast their minds can work.

Then, it was time for Category A. This one ah...25 questions, 1 hour, MCQ. I knew how to solve some (so much so that sometimes when I found the solution I surprised myself), but overall, I think I wouldn't get half of the questions correct. Haha.

It was for the experience la. After the competition, the other three grabbed a few packets of nasi lemak and we went to the cafeteria. I didn't eat nasi lemak.

Instead, I went for A&Ws at Taman Jaya. Wee~ <3

GI Joe

2009-08-09T20:05:00.002+08:00

Wai and HGY arrived earlier at Pyramid than me. Cool.

We stood around and talked for over half an hour about RO, and when David joined us, we went for the movie. G.I Joe.

Lots of action, lots of interesting gadgets (prompting Wai or I to murmer 'canggih...'), some silly and funny scenes, so the movie wasn't that bad. Something like Transformers la.

Good vs Evil. Plain and simple.

After the movie, we went to Wendy's for lunch. After we finished, Soon joined us. That guy could not only eat a lot, he can also eat really quickly. He finished his burger and fries in just a few minutes. Damn.

David left us then, to go to the gym. So after Soon and Wai bought some food from A&W, HGY's mom picked us up and we headed to his place.

There, we chatted with his mom, while Soon finished his burger (yes, that fatty got another burger). That fella ah...he left the rubbish on the table. I mean, who the heck was he expecting to clear it up for him? Lol!

We went to JS Cafe again. L4d, COD4 and Serious Sam. Shooters shooters shooters. L4d was good, we had some hairy moments playing on 'Expert' difficulty, before switching to VS mode for a bit of player vs player fun. Soon and I vs Wai and HGY. We won some, they won some. Fairly matched la.

Call of Duty was a different story. Either that HGY hacks, or he's just impossibly good, but he kept killing us all, and he led the kill table, with me in the second place by a margin of 10 kills. That's a lot.

Serious Sam was...mindless. Just mindless fun. All the silly things we could do...charging in at giant ogre thingies with only a chainsaw, rolling in a huge ball against giant monsters, screaming 'GUNDAM' every time some robotic enemies popped up, shooting chickens, crowding around a basketball and using hte chainsaw on it...endless list. But it was indeed oh-so-fun. =)

Jia Wen's Birthday Outing

2009-08-08T22:14:00.005+08:00

Ok, it's more like a date la, not so much 'outing'.

She picked me up from the Asia Jaya LRT Station, and we went to Pyramid.

We walked around for quite some time, while I let her decide where to have our lunch. She joked a lot, and so did I, so both of us were laughing most of the time.

We ate lunch at BBQ Plaza. Eating with Jia Wen is different from eating with HGY and the rest. For one thing, we have a civilized meal. And there is no food-stealing or food-snatching. Civilized~

She's busy taking pictures of the food.

Ok. She really likes taking photos.

We both ate till we were damn full. But we finished every scrap la.

And for some reason...

The lard turned black-ish.

After that, we went to get tickets for a movie. And the queue...

...was...

AWESOME.

AWESOMELY LONG. Seriously freaking damn the long weh. I even thought we wouldn't be able to get the tickets for 'The Proposal' in time.

But we just lined up la. And chitchat all the way while looking at movie trailers. 2012 looks like it's gonna be a cool movie to watch.

And finally, it was our turn. Thank GOODNESS. We got the tickets and waited a while before entering the cinema lor.

'The Proposal' was damn nice. To me. The jokes were all funny, and not so silly and cliched like some other shows. (or maybe I don't watch enough romantic comedies >_>)

Either way, I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters. The dominating female lead and the sarcastic male dude. The grandma was a great character, and she gets most of the funny moments. Baby-maker. Ritual chant. Boob-search. Etc etc.

Good show la. I recommend it.

After the movie, it was pretty late in the evening. After wandering around in various shops, we went to Zanmai for dinner.

As usual, food at Zanmai was good. But we were both really full after that. (I still feel full now, while I'm blogging)

By the way, most of the pictures are with her. My pitiful camera just wasn't adequate.

Once we finished, we decided to go home, cause it was late.

I had a great day. And I believe she did too.

Going out with a very different crowd (from her) tomorrow. Lol. Guess who?

WHOA

How the hell did that happen?

Lol?!

Driving under influence. Shh...

Japanese Assignment

2009-08-05T23:20:00.006+08:00

3D pop-up assignment. Damn cool

Heh. Credits to Pei Leng and Kock Li.

Animalz. The theme was 'The Zoo'.

Crockie. =)

Programming assignment GG!

My assignment partner is Pei Leng. I went over to her/Shin Hui's place yesterday. And we realized that a lot of what we are required to do have not been taught yet by the lecturer.

Even this fella says it's not as easy as she originally thought it was.

But oh well, between the two of us, we SHOULD be able to figure it out.

Or die trying.

<3 grim endings.

Gamma Potluck

2009-08-02T19:44:00.025+08:00

So yesterday, I went over to HGY's house in the evening. HGY grumbled and grumbled about how late Hiu Jian was while I was there. When the latter finally arrived, we headed to Keith's house. HGY drove.

A road near Keith's place had some rather large bumps. HGY went over one without braking. -__-
That fella is blind weh. He never noticed that the car on our left was going slowly over a bump. And he said he couldn't see the bump, cause the colors were faded. Lol.

When HGY wanted to park the car, I told him to move further down the road, to not block the exit of Keith's driveway. Then I thought it was much better to keep a distance between us and a large dumpster. So I asked him moved back. And HGY scolded me. -__-

We were the earliest. Keith wasn't even expecting anyone to arrive that early. The potluck was supposed to start at 7.30pm, and we arrived at 7.30pm. Lol. Keith told me earlier, "See la, sure 8 something only people come."

We went to the living room area and chilled there first la. We chitchat, and HGY and Keith had a lot to talk about, as both of them are heading to the same university.

Then Soon arrived. Followed by Ding. We just sat around chit-chatting la. Also ate croutons that Soon brought. Then Wai came. And the noise volume went up another notch. Lol.

Chilling around in Keith's place.

Candid pic of HGY.

Forgive me for my phone's camera's bad quality. Qistina came with her uber-cool DSLR. Just in time to snap pics of a large cockroach Wai discovered that was lurking around behind a cushion...

I stole Qis' hat, and camwhored with Wai. LOL

Heh. Ex-class monitor and ex-assistant monitor. Still gheys. Did I tell you this dude was my prom date? XD

We continued chit-chat. Swapped stories bout our lives. And of course, totally funny stuff. Wai has a really interesting lecturer. Stories about him really really made me LOL.

We were complaining bout Liang being late, cause without him, there would be no food. They were all hungry, it seemed.

Liang arrived a few minutes after the complaints started, bringing KFC and Pizza. Woots. David, Yoke Fen, Shu Wen and Sze Hou came with him.

David looks damn different. He's buffed up. His hair's all spiked up. Cool guy.

Somebody set us up the food.

Poolside dining yo.

Chocolate fondue. Dip marshmallows and croutons in, and you get <3.

Elyse came last, but with marshas. We dipped them into the chocolate. Delicious.

Chilling in the living room again. Notice David sitting on Soon. Keith said he rarely ever comes into this room. Lol.

Elyse playing on Keith's grand piano.

Hou, Jian and HGY.

Wai.

*shock* Camwhore. WTH.

The 'almost' group pic I managed to take. Ding and Hou are posing for Liang who's on my right.

Ding, Hou, David, Qis, Soon and Keith. Some looking elsewhere, some eyes closed...bah.

Elyse and Paws. Paws is...evil. Every time I call his name, he growls at me. He growls at almost everyone. It's a little scary to be touching him when he's growling at you. Keith says he's stupid, just trying to act macho. Lol.

Elyse shoo-ed me away. She didn't feel safe with me nearby, cause Paws would be growling at me and...she's just uncomfortable with stroking him while he's growling. Lol.

Qis posing with the cello. Hahaha.

Prod prod.

The 'proper' pose.

Later, David, Soon and Hou went into the pool to cool off. And they just had to pull/push me in as well. Haih. HGY pushed me in, even though he himself didn't want to get in. The idiot.

We swam around for a while only la. After that, we decided to go home. Keith's mom told us that we guys should escort the ladies back to Subang Jaya.

So we had to set up a convoy system.

Liang went first. Followed by Elyse. Finally HGY brought up the rear.

That's Elyse in front.

When Soon passed us by in his Dad's car, he flashed his finger at HGY. LOL. The way HGY reacted was...priceless.

At first it was fine, we kept to the formation. Then for some reason, our crazy driver totally forgot about staying behind Elyse, and ended up overtaking her AND Liang. I mean, wth?

When he realized, he said, "Ah...oh ya! I forgot." Clown.

Later, Liang overtook us, and Elyse went on to...Shah Alam?! o.o We were really surprised la, and we thought she sesat. But no la, turns out she was really heading that way.

HGY dropped Jian and I off.

Turnout wasn't all that good la, but at least we still had fun with the small group we were.

Jusco

2009-07-28T20:48:00.005+08:00

Calculus test yesterday was difficult. Lecturer gave hints during the test etc, but I don't think the results will be good.

Oh. Numbers in Japanese is a very difficult thing to learn. The Japanese have different ways to express numbers. Numbers in dates are different from numbers used to show time, count stuff etc.

Yesterday Robert Sensei asked us each to say our birthdays, and our age.

"Watashi no tanjobi wa san getsu san ju ni chi desu. Watashi wa ju kyu sai desu."

My birthday is on the 30th of March. I am 19 years old.

Well, it's not that easy, really. Many people struggled to get the entire sentence out clearly. After I had said mine (pretty well, I think *bangga*), the lecturer asked a dude sitting kinda far away to repeat what I said. And he didn't know! Lol. So he and his friends were guessing la...1st of March, 3rd of November etc etc.

Then later on, someone behind me kept trying to say his, with mistakes. Phoebe was laughing away, so I asked her what he said. Turns out he was saying his birthday's on a 32nd...

Today, Shin Hui, Pei Leng, Soon Yi and I went to Jusco after classes. We went to McD.

I ate Oreo Mcflurries. It's an addiction.

Later, the girls went to buy some food, so we went along.

Fruits mostly, chocolates as well.

Yum-yum.

What they bought.

After shopping, they walked back home, while I took the LRT. Down to Gombak. And all the way back again. LOL!

You're Shit!

2009-07-24T17:04:00.007+08:00

During Business Accounting lecture yesterday:

LCD Projector displayed a rather blur image.

So...

Zhen Hui: Eh, so blur, I can't see a shit!

Huey Chin: Eh, where got shit to see? Why you wanna see shit?

Zhen Hui (=.=): No la, I mean, I can't see anything. I sometimes substitute 'shit' for 'anything'.

Huey Chin: Means anything is shit la. So you're a shit la! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

-_-''

Yaminabe

2009-07-23T00:01:00.005+08:00

Instead of having our usual L4D post-match analysis, HGY, Soon and I ended up talking about yaminabe.

HGY suggested that we try it.

What's yaminabe?

Well, it's a game. Sort of.

Yaminabe means 'Darkness Pot'. Something like that.

It's kinda like potluck. Except, everyone brings a secret ingredient (or more, if the rules allow it), enter a dark room, and cook the ingredients in soup. Lol. You would have no idea what other people brought, and neither would they have any clue as to what YOU brought.

Of course, no nonsense such as dog shit and armpit hair (mentioned by Soon LOL).

Mainly cause you'd have to eat it too. Unless you favor the taste of orange peels or wasabi mixed with goodness-knows-what-else, it's highly recommended that you do not bring weird stuff.

Of course, we kept talking bout putting durians in.

That'd kill a lot of people for sure.

GY kept shooting us in L4D by accident. He said he finishes work late, so everyone look like zombies to him.

Hi!

This is a very random post.

That's a Rabbid from the Rayman games.

Fish calls them Rabbitto.

Seems Hui Ting and I call them Rabbutto.

YY calls them Rabbut.

LOL.

Haze

2009-07-13T21:41:00.002+08:00

Haze was real bad today. Visibility was poor, and the air was so horrible to breathe in.

Sleep queen.

Had a Japanese Language midterm test today. Was ok la. Hoping for good grades.

And I'm getting sick of cafeteria food. And I mean ALL of the food on the menu.

Yerrks.

Satay

2009-07-11T21:21:00.003+08:00

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

2009-07-07T21:42:00.003+08:00

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

2009-07-02T18:34:00.004+08:00

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

2009-07-01T22:04:00.011+08:00

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

2009-06-28T20:02:00.012+08:00

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

2009-06-25T18:25:00.003+08:00

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.

FEStival

2009-06-24T21:50:00.004+08:00

Seems UTAR held a campus FEStival. Some sorta canteen-day-styled event, with stalls selling food and drink, game stalls and stage performances. It was interesting, though a little limited. We didn't have much time to check it out anyway.

These days, I dream of the L4D Tank quite frequently. I dreamt that David, Wai and I were trapped in sewer tunnels and we had to find our way out. David went ahead while I waited for Wai. We each had only a flashlight. Then for some reason, I heard a Tank being really noisy in the tunnels behind me. Seems like it was fighting Wai.

I thought of going back to help him out, then realized, "Nah, Wai will be able to handle it."

L4D players will prolly laugh at me for this. Wai fighting a Tank barehanded.

Ladies and gentlemen. I present...the Tank.

Dreaming the Undead

2009-06-21T00:44:00.004+08:00

Thanks to HGY, I've been playing a few rounds of L4d these nights.

So my dreams have changed as well. I dreamt of a zombie apocalypse last night. Freaky. I watched a Tank (it's a huge muscular zombie in L4d) smash two people into bloody pulp. And loads of others died everywhere. I remember only about five of us (all strangers) got out of the city in a car.

Sorry, I can't tell you guys whether you survived or not. I just don't remember. But I suppose you all died. =/

HELL, the second dream was WORSE. I was some dude driving a car down a few levels in an underground car-park. I was part of a convoy of 'survivors'. 'Survivor' status didn't last long.

For reasons unknown, I turned into a freaking zombie, my eyes started spurting blood for no reason, my mind went nuts (Rationality took a permanent vacation), I was shrieking my lungs out and I just started clawing my way out of the car through the windshield (apparently, zombies don't know how to open doors). I bloodied my hands in the process, of course, but didn't seem to register that fact.

I got out of the car, infected a couple of other survivors (chomp chomp, zombies make friends easily!), and all hell broke loose. Well, sort of. I remember running around, some humans died, some zombies died, the other survivors were panicking, and then I got shot.

The End.

I keep thinking that zombie virus outbreaks are something like the H1N1 thingy now. Lol. Global pandemic.

I have lessons on Saturdays. I don't like Saturday lessons. It's just...wrong. Perverted, even. Shouldn't Saturdays be for relaxing/studying at home/having fun etc? Instead of going for lessons??

People ask me why I choose to travel, and not stay at Setapak. I either answer 'Mom's cooking' or 'Me bed!'. Behind the light-hearted response, it's true la. Nothing like home.

Had my first Japanese Language lecture today. Great lecturer (again, not Japanese, he's Indian). He spent 15 years in Japan, and he had quite a few stories to share about his experience in Japan. And they were quite funny too!

Gah. It's late.

Oyasumi Nasai!

Study Study

This is prolly the first time I've seen Soon so...dedicated to his studies. Impressive.

He's in a lot of emo-ing fits lately. Teh power of teh exameths giveth unto him teh uber-PMS.

He's even abandoning RO!

This is...incredible. He deserves to receive some grand prize or something.

For once. Studies above RO/Movies/CC/etc fun-life.

Wow.

Short Break

2009-06-12T19:36:00.004+08:00

TGIF. Went out to Pyramid today with HGY, Hiu Jian and Wai, and we watched Terminator. Like so many reviews etc, the robots DO resemble stuff from Transformers. =/

Nonetheless, the movie was pretty good. Featured good ol' references, as well as ARNIE. In all his muscular naked glory. LOL. Only for a short moment, sadly.

After the movie, we went to Noodle Station in SS15 for lunch. Wai brought his girl along then.

HGY took one sip of this, and made a really funny face. We asked him what was wrong (it was his drink, after all), and the fella said, "Doesn't taste like green tea!"

Wai said, "It isn't even green!!"

Green tea, not green. Well, turns out it was jasmine tea. And it tasted alright to me. HGY offered to swap drinks with me, until he found out I ordered a vanilla milkshake.

Hiu Jian put too much of the dried chilli in his noodles. Well, I hope he doesn't get diarrhoea. Wai copied him, and I couldn't resist. But we two put a little bit.

We went to JS Cafe again after that, for a session of gaming. Wai left with his girl by then. Just the three of us, against hordes of zombies!

We introduced Hiu Jian to L4D, and I think he likes it too. I mean, it's a game that can even attract girls. -.-

Saw lots of people play Dragonica there as well. Partying and doing quests together. LOL. Dumb-ish game la.

We played L4D, and CS, then L4D again. I had trouble with my mouse, the button was faulty. Did some stupid stuff in L4D today. In one level, the moment we stepped out of the saferoom, I just charged off into the distance by myself. The other two were like "Hei where the hell you going!" and "Woi Zhen don't run so far, we can't catch up". I was going "Lalalacatchmeifyoucan" in my head, and just ignored them.

The zombies were harder to ignore, I had to keep bashing them back and shooting them to keep from being surrounded. I was kinda lucky I managed to escape, and none of the Special Infected attacked me. Lol.

HGY in the car. He had to reverse to let Hiu Jian drive out of the compound. This nut reverses damn quickly.

We went over to HGY's house after the gaming session. Hiu Jian drove home, while I waited for mom. He played some RO there, I played a little bit of RO, then mom came.

Japanese Lesson

2009-06-08T23:08:00.002+08:00

We had our first Japanese lesson today. Not too bad. Couldn't really understand much. Hahaha. Btw, lecturer isn't Japanese. He's Mr. Robert. LOL.

Huey Chin pulled my hair today, very hard, just because she THOUGHT I took her little tortoise toy. That Pui Yee was the one who took it, but I kena. Damn painful. =(

Saw A Monitor Lizard Yesterday

2009-06-04T22:07:00.002+08:00

My Thursday timetable is kinda retarded, courtesy of UTAR.

I have only one lesson on Thursdays, from 2pm to 4pm.

Went for breakfast with HGY this morning, and I brought my bro along. HGY was really sleepy, he slept at 4am cause he was playing RO with Wai. =.=

We ate at OldTown, SS15.

And our Business Accounting II lecturer dragged the class for an additional 30 minutes! ZZZ. Michael was tapping his watch frantically behind the lecturer's back, while Christopher and I were freezing to death and trying our best to hold our piss. LOL!

Wish we can change the damn timetable. It's a real waste of time to travel so much just for two hours.

First Day, Trimester Two

2009-06-01T20:58:00.006+08:00

Went really early, waited at the bus stop for a long time, and luckily for me, Cui Yi came as well, so there was company. We went to UTAR really early, so we met up with Huey Chin and Pui Yee at the cafeteria to chat.

We had our Programming lesson first today, with our juniors. The lecture hall was PACKED. It was kinda unsettling to see all the unfamiliar people entering the class. It was nice when people we knew came in.

The lecturer let us off about half an hour early, giving us more than three hours of break time before our next lesson. Shin Hui, Pei Leng and I had lunch in the canteen. Then, Pui Yee, Huey Chin and Cui Yi came to join us, but not for lunch. Pui Yee suggested heading out to a place in Jalan Genting Kelang for lunch, so off we all went.

The place was called Cannes Tea House. It's a rather nice place, kinda cheery interior. They had magazines and games for the entertainment of patrons. Not a bad concept, but the games are games like Uno Stacko, cards etc. No electronic stuff.

Shin Hui, Pei Leng and I only ordered drinks. Pei Leng kept trying to get me and Shin Hui to order drinks she wanted to TRY, while she ordered something else. I insisted on having a green tea smoothie, which she didn't try after all. She didn't really like the looks of it, I think. She ordered a sour-ish drink, same as Shin Hui's. She didn't complain, but Shin Hui took one taste of hers and said 'not nice', then switched her drink with Pui Yee's. =_=

The drink was yummy. A scoop of ice cream on the top, and the green tea flavor was wonderful.

Some stuff on sale.

My half-finished green tea smoothie.

Not much difference between my 'Wishing Tree' and Pei Leng's 'Summer in Love'. Both look grayish.

French Fries dipped in...ice-cream.

We played Uno Stacko after our meal. Cui Yi refused to play because she says she has a very severe case of Parkinson's.

I destroyed the tower in the first round. Then Pui Yee did the honors for the next couple of rounds. LOL

After lunch, we headed back to the campus. Our 'Theory of Interest' lecturer speaks REALLY slowly. Gahhh.

Whereas our 'Intermediate Calculus' lecturer speaks REALLY quickly. Gahhhhh.

Reached home at about 8.30 p.m today. GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm back!

Internet's been giving me shithell for the past week. Couldn't even spend more than a couple of hours straight on gaming (ok scratch that, I DID spend a coupla hours gaming, but...well, Screamyx sucks).

I watched MU get whacked by Barcelona. Good football game it was.

Went to Pyramid today, for a movie and lunch with Jia Wen. I went really early, to meet Wai and pass the RO disc to him (yea I'm playing RO, AGAIN). We chatted for about an hour, and he had me cracking up at his stories of college and life.

I met with Jia Wen later on, and we watched Night At The Museum 2. Quite nice. Funny. And Kahmenrah the Egyptian was very very funny. I love the way he speaks. And his lines. Just a hilarious guy.

We wanted to have lunch at Shogun (50% discount, promotion), but the place was packed. So, we ate at Pasta de Gohan, some Japanese Pasta/Spaghetti food-thingy place (sorry, very vague, my mind isn't really working that well now).

Shopped a bit, then we went home.

Been doing quite a lot of driving lately. Fetching bro here, bro there, doing errands etc.

Gosh. Holidays are over. NOOOOO!!

Timetable Issues

Die La Tomorrow

2009-05-06T21:02:00.002+08:00

Probability and Statistics I tomorrow. So dead. Also hoping for a pass.

Lemme share a story here. Last year, on the day that our SPM results were released, I went to a Bank with Wai and Soon before the results were actually released.

That day, Soon had some...kenjutsu practice later on or something, so he brought his wooden sword along.

We went to the bank, and Wai went to open his account and stuff, while Soon and I just waited.

Things were normal at first. And then, things got a little bit interesting when the guard came out into the foyer from another room. He had a gun (those shotguns you see carried by bank and jewellery store guards) with him, and he had his attention on Soon.

LOL. Only then did we start to think that maybe Soon bringing his sword into the bank wasn't such a good idea. To me, it wasn't anything special, but to other people, they might have perceived him to have other motives. The guard was kinda tense, but Soon and I hurriedly tried to explain about the circumstances and assured the guard that we weren't robbers by telling him that it was just a sword for martial arts lessons and that we weren't going to use it. At first, he didn't really seemed convinced, but after awhile, he went back into the room, slowly and cautiously.

After he was gone, Soon and I visibly relaxed.

Maybe it wasn't all that smart to bring a great big sword into a bank.
