AUP Farewell Party Dec 2009!

Hey everyone!!!

This post is going to be a little special than the other posts I've made so far. Mostly because it is going to be the longest post I ever had to make... It's filled with all kinds of emotions that I'm happy that I could express it freely here...

On Monday night of the 14th of December 2009, we had our AUP Farewell party that everyone's been wanting to do for the past month. It was originally organized by KC, Jessica, and Katie. Thank you guys for making time and putting a lot of effort in making the night a very successful and memorable night...

It was suppose to start at 6pm, but of course, Malaysian timing delays that by half an hour or more. It was okay though, as it was unforgettable. The event was a potluck type of event so everyone brought along some food and drinks. Only problem was that everyone who arrived earlier than the others only brought food, no drinks. So, KC and I had to go and buy some so that everyone wouldn't die from dehydration or choking hahaha!

Okay, okay, time for some snapshots of the night! All photo's are thanks to Shane and Elvin! I stole it from their Facebook hehehe...


This is what Shane brought to the party and the one that's mixing it is Sie Hui. Oiiii faster la finish mixing it!!! I wanna eat it!!! Hahaha!


Jessica, Ryan, Elvin, Ms. Lim, and Myself shared to buy a pizza for the occasion... 6 large pizzas hahahaha!!! The bill reached RM113.00. Was quite a good price for 6 large right??? But it got devoured very fast...Hehehe...


Awww Nad and Jessy so sweet..


Sie Hui and May Chong pose!!!


Sue Yen and April!


Hahahahah!!! Go drink it in 1 shot!


Oiiii stop playing facebook laaaa!! Go talk with the other people!


Carissa's Smile..


Yen Loo what's up with the sad face laaaaaaa~~~


Everyone just mixing around~


Everyone wave bye to Sie Hui!!!!!! Jessica, holding the jelly saying "Sie Hui!! You forgot your silicon!!!"


FINALLY BOOZES!!!!!!!!!!... Not. Hahahaha!! Sparkling juices and carbonated drinks for the way~~~


I'm glad that we all did this... All these memories.. will be in our hearts forever.. As I see how time flies, it saddens me to know that I only have a very limited amount of time left for me to hang out with some of my closest friends...


Even if some of you forget about it in the future, these memories will always remain with me...


Bushido Wesley!!!!!! Continue eating please hahahahahaha!


Jessy and Vinod hahahaha!!


I remember way, way back then, how I met each and everyone of you...



I talked to Vinod for the first time in ENL 101.. We were doing our very first group exercise Miss Kamala, our lecturer, gave us on writing a thesis statement... Somehow our group ended up talking about scars and experiences we had from hospitals.. Vinod was telling about his injury he had experienced on his right leg.. Then, on one of the nights that I stayed back late in college I met up with him, JC, Amos, Zjen Thak, Fernie, and a few others at the staircase near the lift area by chance, where we all just talked and got to know a little bit of each other...

I met Fernie for the first time in ENL 101 as well, where we all elected her to be our class rep.. I got to know her a little better later on..

I talked to Jessy for the first time actually before the ED Board camp... Alexis was introducing her to us hahahah! It was weird how she suddenly popped into all of our lives, but it was a blessing to know her...

I met Amos for the first time last year during our PSY 105 class... Shaza introduced us, and instantly I knew that he'd make a good friend.. I was surprised at how well-mannered he was at the time, and even though he had a little trouble communicating at the time, he was and still is, one of the greatest friends to have... And I'm eternally grateful that we are still friends..

I met Zjen Thak a week after the first semester started, in PSY 105, where Amos introduced to everyone that he was his roommate... I first talked to him a little bit after Shaza's birthday party..I didn't know him too well at the time, but he gave me the impression of a straight-thinking, focused individual.. instead of the crazy psychotic guy I know and love... We'll still be seeing each other over in the US I hope, as we will be going to the same university hehehe..

I met Carissa and Wesley both during MAT 121 class in my first semester. They were sitting at the back while I was sitting next to Jean, Naomi, Sharmini, and Jae Yee.. We didn't really talk to each other much, but we still acknowledge each other.. I really talked to Carissa for the first time when it was the night before the exam.. She and Dana were staying back in college to study for the test as was I, and we decided to form a study group and went to the INTIMA Office to ask Joshan and Lik Pang and Bentan to help and guide us before our ultimate demise hehehe...

I met Jean, Naomi, Sharmini and Jae Yee for the first time in ENL 101, but we didn't talk to each other until we saw each other in MAT 121... And later on we got to know each other a lot better at the Freshie's Gathering... Jean became my first dancing partner from that hahahaha!! Naomi became my partner in ED Board, where I had just joined and asked her to come and join with me.

I met Charles for the first time in CAE, where he was always busy with his calculus work... Didn't really talk to him much until we all started hanging out in the INTIMA Office... and of course, the Council Camp hahahaha!!

I met KC and Katie for the first time in AUP when I kept hearing stories from some of my friends about two sisters that did quite well in their public speaking last year hahaha.. I only got to know them both a lot better afterwards...

I met Edison for the first time in ENL 101... He was the first friend I made in ENL 101, and we remained friends ever since...

I met Ryan, Chew, Daryl, Yenloo, Yahn Hui, Fang Kai, and Emmanuel in AUP, where I keep seeing them all arriving at the same time, always hanging out with each other, and usually seen doing calculus together ahahaha!! I got closer to Daryl later on when we were in the same class for ECO152...

I met Zack for the first time during INTI BALL 2008, where we shared a table for the night...

I got to know Pauline better from last semester... where we both were in the same class for STA 219 and after finding out from Zjen Thak that all 3 of us were going to the same University...

Each and every one of them.... I remember.. how they entered and changed my life forever...


Our principal walked into our party and was surprised by it.


She gave a little speech to all of us so that we'd all remember to be ourselves, and not forget from where we once came from after we're in the US... Awww Nad looks scared! Hahahaha!!


Hahahahaah!!! Yeah! That's how crazy things got!


Wow... Kiet gets excited too fast... see he already... hehehe..


Spotted!!! Ex-Avril May Chong in a scandal with two boys...and a cup... Hahahaha!!!!


Two guys, a girl, and a cup.


What is Jessy pointing at?!


Aiyo fail la... Who's finger is that... oh wait.. I think that was mine hahahaha!! Okay okay.. third shot!


Hahahaahah!!! Kiet came at the right time and can pose somemore hahahaha!!!


Oooo scandal already between Ryan and Vinod... poor Chew and Daryl... hehe.


Oh...my....


I am strong!!!!!!! RAWR!!!!!!! Hahahaha!!!


Miss Khor giving her speech.


Everyone listening to Miss Khor telling her story..


and I do mean EVERYONE.. Hehehe..


Suppose to be a candid photo... but got some posers already... hahaha!!


Awww.... sooo...


Amos giving us his speech... It was really funny and sweet at the same time hehehee..

After that, everyone started giving their speech to commemorate the night... Especially those that are leaving... I gave mine as well, but I gave only the brief, short version of it... Because I was afraid that if I had given the real thing, it would have definitely been a very long one and I would definitely shed a tear from saying it to everyone... But at least I can say what I want to here... Here goes..



I can't believe, that it's been this long already since I met all of you. It felt as if it was just yesterday, I was meeting you guys for the first time. I'm definitely a different person than I was during my school days before college. I was quite the anti-socialist back then, and when I came to INTI that all changed... I started learning what friendship really means from being friends with all of you... I started.. living. It's definitely going to be weird... not being able to see any of your faces anymore in the CAE Office...

It's going to be weird, not being able to hear Vinod telling one of his stories to all of us, and seeing him play football inside the office..

It's already weird, not being able to see that sincere smile of Carissa that brightens everyone's day... and her size 3 feet hahaha!

It's already weird, not being able to see Charles with his bluetooth earphone sets, doing his calculus exercise in the office...

It's going to be weird, not being able to see Amos' blurred expression anymore... not being able to hang out with him, and to put him to sleep by massaging him..

It's going to be weird, not being able to see KC watching 'Friends' on her MacBook, or doing her online class or assignments on it...

It's going to be weird, not being able to see Jessy blasting the music from her laptop into her ears, doing her assignments and work on her laptop with a gazillion tabs of Google Chrome opened up...

It's going to be weird, not being able to see and hug Zjen Thak in the office for fun..

It's going to be weird, not seeing Aaron inside the office, checking on his mail or the latest movie ratings or football results...

It's already weird, not being able to see Fernie and talk to her..

It's going to be weird, not to see Pauline, Lavene, Sue Yen and the rest of them...

It's going to be weird, not being able to see and joke around with May Chong anymore...

It's going to be weird, not being able to see Daryl, Ryan, Chew, Fangkai, Emmanuel, Yen Loo, and Yahn Hui together..

It's going to be weird, not seeing everyone of them and many more in the office anymore... I'll miss all of you terribly... To those who are leaving in January, thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you guys... and for those who will still be around.. let's make even more beautiful memories together with what little time we have left...


Everyone is scattered all over this map soon... some are lucky enough to end up together...


But if it's one thing we learn in AUP, it's never goodbye.. It's just a see you later... I love all of you, and I hope to stay in touch with everyone of you. You may not think that you've made an impact in my life, but I can honestly tell you now that you're wrong... Even the smallest things that you do.. Had an effect on me.. All of you have made me what I am today... Thank you...

Master of the Game

Hey all~

As promised awhile back, I'd tell you a little about the book I read during the Singapore trip called Master of the Game by Sydney Sheldon.



The book is really interesting as it tells the story of how greed can consume a family for generations. I was blown away by how the author wrote the book. He did his research very thoroughly as most of the places, if not all of them in the book actually exists and they are all real life happening events.

When I first started reading the Prologue, I thought "Hmm seems kind of sweet." I kept on reading until it was around chapter 2 or 3 of the book that I got to see the element of surprise the author is famous for. How the story then got so twisted and how it portrays the essence of humanity.

The book's most obvious life lesson that the author wanted to relay to the readers was that money isn't everything. Just because someone is rich, doesn't mean that they are happy. The saying that blood is thicker than water so needs to be reconsidered after reading the book. I find the book very... eye-opening.

I highly recommend you guys to read this as it really is a good book. It not only has a great story, but it also provides us with little bits and pieces of interesting history. Gave it a rating of 4 out of 5.

Day out with the Kepong Boy, Selayang Footballer, and Miri Dancer

Yesterday, I actually had a full list of things to do during that day to keep me busy and to stop procrastinating. I failed to do the first 2 things on my list which was going to the gym and then to the bank. Reason being that I got sick at the time with another migraine attack. So I decided to head on over to college to start on the other things on my to-do-list. I did some of them in the morning, but later on I met up with Vinod and Zjen Thak inside the AUP office which kind of made me procrastinate my work.

We went for lunch at Subway with Jessica and Jerusha at the time. Jessica and I shared a foot-long sandwich while Zjen Thak and Vinod had their own 6-inch sandwiches. Jerusha just had a cookie and we all just talked a lot over lunch. After we were done eating, Zjen Thak and Vinod invited me to go to Sunway Pyramid with them to window shop for some winter clothes before they leave. So yet again, I procrastinated my work that day to another day and hung out with both of them at Pyramid until evening.

They were both quite hyper over there and we all just talked and joked around here and there while spotting some hot girls on the way hahaha! We waited until Amos came to pick us up at Pyramid to go to his house in Kepong. On the way there, we stopped for tea at a restaurant that Amos said was good. I really liked the dessert he bought hahhaha! I think it was called... Tong Tsui if I'm not mistaken. There were a lot of variations of Tong Tsui but I enjoyed the peanut the most hahaha! It tasted really, really good.

After that we went to pick up his mom at her office. Over at the office everyone knew Amos since his mom is the boss. But they were all very curious of me, Vinod and Zjen Thak and some even came up to the car window to stare at us hahahah!! After his mom came, she drove all of us back to their house. This was the first time I went to Amos' house so I expected to see some green plants over there being the environmentalist that he is, and I was right. His house was decorated beautifully with all these plants and flowers surrounding a fish pond with a bench for people to just sit and enjoy viewing the fishes.

Inside, we stayed and hung out in Amos' room for a few hours. His room was quite nice and I like that he had did some creative things inside his room. He showed us some of his past artwork and it was really impressive to see how his talent grew each year.

Afterwards we went for dinner at Petaling Jaya, SS 2. Amos took us to this restaurant called.... Gosh I couldn't remember the first name but it ended with Paris. It was a chinese restaurant and I was really mesmerized with the service. The food came so fast, the tables were clean very fast, and the staffs were very polite. I accidentally ate something that I wasn't suppose to, but the staff and boss came to apologize to me that time which shows just how humble and polite they are to their customers. I gave it a 5 out of 5 star for service. Food was really nice as well. When we had already started eating, Celine came and join us for awhile.

The five of us talked for hours, and Celine was so happy that she finally made a comment to Vinod that he took it to his heart personally and wouldn't let go what she said the whole night hahahaha!! Poor Amos got bullied by Vinod and Zjen Thak at the time as well. They all started telling all sorts of stories back when they were living inside the My Place apartment opposite of our college. Most of it hilarious hahaha!

Afterwards, we went to the Starbucks nearby and hung out there until we had to go home. We had some heart-to-heart moments over there, everyone sharing their problems with one another. It was really nice. Celine had to leave early since her mom had arrived to pick her up. After that the four of us hung out there until it was nearly 11.30pm. Amos asked if I wanted to go home straight or follow them to SS 15 for awhile. I told him to send me back first since I still had my migraine actually, but it was feeling better at the time. Just that I was feeling very tired already.

Overall, it was a nice day out with all of them. Took my mind off of some things that had been happening so far. I'm suppose to be doing my to-do-list today but, I guess I'm procrastinating it again until tomorrow... maybe hahahaha! Till next time people!
