It's Over!!!

The last test of the year!!! Finally it's over!!!!!

As you probably have realized, I'm talking about my final exams for this semester. I just finished it about an hour ago with satisfying results.

I was worried at the beginning that I would fail both my subjects and that I would have to repeat them all over again. But as I did the papers, I found it to be very easy. Just that for my statistics exam I did not have enough time to finish the paper so I lost a few marks there.

I counted my marks that most likely I'll be getting at least a B for both of them. I'm aiming for a B+ or an A- though hahahah!

Finally I have some time for myself. I'll be able to start posting regularly again! ... Well not that regular as I still haven't gotten an internet line for myself. But I will be soon when I can actually find a P1 Wiimax person. It seems that when I need to find one of those guys, they don't seem to show up anywhere. Anyone got an idea where their office is in Subang Jaya?

Anyways, I'm gonna go off for now as I want to start celebrating my freedom! Tell all of you about the updates some other time!

Last two weeks...

The semester is finally coming to an end. In less than two weeks, I won't be able to see familiar faces that I'm so used to seeing in college anymore. I have to say goodbye to most of them soon. It's sad to see friends go, but it's good to see them move on and advance in their lives, getting closer and closer to their dreams.

I'll miss seeing Jessica, who do's her best in being a 4.0 and not to mention an incredible friend.

I'll miss seeing Zjen Thak, being his crazy self and doing so many random things.

I'll miss seeing Vinod, playing his futsal inside AUP, and always show how much he cares for his friends.

I'll miss seeing Aaron, always checking on the latest movies and giving us updates on it, and his robotic personality haha!

I'll miss seeing KC, always doing work on her MacBook inside the AUP.

I'll miss seeing Daryl, always 'Daryling' people all over college.

I'll miss seeing Edison, even if he does have face problem hahaha! (Just kidding)

I'll miss seeing Jean, always being a little blur and a little crazy at the same time.

I'll miss seeing Joel, being his blurcase self in college, yet still up for anything.

I'll miss seeing Pauline, always getting bullied by Zjen Thak, or was it the other way around haha!

I'll miss seeing Stella, her friendly smile and humor that lights up AUP.

I'll miss seeing a lot more people than just the few that I've mentioned above. I won't be able to see their faces in college anymore after next week. It saddens me to say goodbye to them but I know that I should be happy for them. Selfish me, thinking of how I'd feel when they leave, when I should be thinking how would they feel, leaving everyone they know to go to another country.

Let's all make lots of memories together, in these last few weeks we have together.

A Comforting Hand

It's nice to know, that even as everything started crashing down there are still people out there, still understanding and still cared for you. A lot has been going wrong this past few months, and I seemed to have been distancing myself from mentioning my problems to my friends. I did not want to spoil anyone's mood so far so I've tried my best to keep up a smile.

It seems to be a hard thing to do nowadays as conditions started to turn from bad to worse. But it's nice to know, that I still have friends out there who care for me. I had started breaking the walls around me and seek comfort from some of my friends. I hated the idea of burdening them, but if I didn't do so, it would just kill me.

I guess this was another way of reaching out to people, being closer to each other. We tell each other what our problems are, and we seek a comforting hand from one another to get through all of this. It keeps the world going round. They say that the world isn't perfect, but I'd like to think that perfection is in the eye of the beholder, and to me, this is what makes the world perfect.

Sorry guys for being such an imbecilic troublemaker, and thank you.

Bye 'Atuk'!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't been posting. I lost the internet connection at my house and a lot of things have been happening since the holiday started last Friday. Today's post will be a little bit emo so for those who hate it when I write emotional stuff on my blog, you've been warned.

I found out last Friday that my grandfather, or 'atuk' as me, my siblings and my cousins like to call him, was sick. He had cancer, and my family and I didn't heard the news until Friday. He's been diagnosed with cancer for the past 6 months, and last week they told us he had only a few days left to live. We were all shocked by this piece of information.

When we went to visit him after hearing that last Friday, he looked so different, so sick. He couldn't walk, he couldn't talk, he couldn't move at all other than his fingers and toes. Even moving those were a struggle for him. I couldn't help myself but cry when I saw him like that.

I remembered the times when I would visit him often when I was little, with my dad, mom, brother and sister. We always had fun at his house. There was no sadness, no suffering, just happiness. I used to see my grandpa and grandma working n their garden, trying to grow some vegetables for themselves and flowers as well.

Then, I remembered playing in their house with my cousins. We were playing tag inside the house and our grandmother would be yelling at us, but grandpa was always the 'cool' one and joined in the fun with us. He always had a smile on his face, never showing any sadness. We played pirates, we played card games, and many more inside that house.

During Christmas, everyone would gather in grandpa and grandma's house to be together. I remember that they would always have the same small Christmas tree every year, but with different decorations on it. Below the tree would be our presents from them, which were always so nice.

When I was just a little boy, he would carry me around, going to places. He would introduce me to some of his friends. He would teach me things about the society that I didn't already know. He would help me with some of my homeworks in anyway he can. He would always be there whenever I needed comfort. I'll miss all of what he has been doing for me a lot...

Grandpa always had a smile on his face. He never showed sadness in front of anybody intentionally. He loved to make people laugh. He loved to joke around. He loved all of us equally, regardless of our sins or whatsoever. He loved making our faces smile whenever he can. He cared for his friends. He cared for his family. He was William Harry.

I can't hear your voice anymore. I can't feel your comforting hand anymore. I can't see your smile anymore. I can't smell the cologne you use to wear on you anymore. I can't taste anything that you cooked anymore. It saddens me for this to happen, but I know that a piece of you would always remain in our hearts.

You have touched our lives in so many ways. We grew so much from having your presence. You made us all happy, and we hope that we did the same for you. I shall say goodbye to you, without being sad, as I know that you wouldn't like it. Bye 'Atuk'!!! Take care on the other side and say hello to 'Papa' for me!!!

In loving memory of William Harry

A good husband,

A good Father,

A good Grandfather,

A good Friend.

Fig & Olives at Sunway Pyramid

Restaurant Review Time!

It's that time of the week again! Time for me to review some stuffs that I can't really do on the INTI Insider because of all the sensorship the management of ICSJ gave me. Yes!!! Time for an eye scorching review of things you like, things you hate, things you don't even know about! This time, I'll be giving a review to the restaurant Fig & Olives, located at Sunway Pyramid.

I went there with Bentan, Sie Hui, and Susan to eat dinner because Tarbush was already full at the time. We all decided to eat at Fig & Olive at the recommendation of the information's desk. When we first got there, it looked so empty and we were wondering that if it's empty because the food wasn't good or what. Boy our questions were answered fast. The service there was kind of horrible. The waiters weren't exactly easy to call on. But they do give a service with a smile, even if they are ignorant towards their customers.

Next, the choices of the food. The food wasn't exactly spread out in variety. It was more focused on western food. Another thing I would like to complain is the menu. Their descriptions of what they have are horrible. Some don't even have descriptions. Like their specialty drinks. They just put the name of the drink and the prices which ranged from RM9.50-RM10.00 without even a description of what the drink really is as they changed the names of the drinks to their liking. We had to ask the waiter to know what we were ordering for our throats to hydrate on.

The food portion, I can't really complain on it much. It was quite big even if the prices are a little bit expensive. I'd say it's worth it as the food portion is enough to stuff you full. Not to mention that it tastes quite nice as well. But I would like to complain on their Sicilian Tuna Penne was that it wasn't spicy enough. I tried it with one bite from Sie Hui and I could tell straight away that it didn't feel spicy at all. It felt more like tomato ketchup from a bottle than a homemade chilli sauce.

Besides that, the atmosphere was nice I guess. But it can't win as a romantic date spot as there are no secluded or quiet tables around. More towards friends gathering and family lunch/dinner. Overall I think I'll give it a rating of 6 out of 10.

Ramadhan Bazaar Feast

Hey people,

Sorry that it's been awhile since I last posted. I currently have no internet connection at home, so I had to come to college on a Sunday to leech off the WiFi. Anyways~ Moving on to what happened last week on Thursday.

Sie Hui had planned to eat with Bentan that day after we all called him the day before to join us to eat. Unfortunately he was busy at the time so planned for the next day instead. We hadn't decide on where to eat, but we were definitely sure on meeting with each other at 6pm. Then, J.C. Suggested that we go to the Ramadhan Bazaar near SS18 like we did the week before. So we all unanimously agreed as Sie Hui and Bentan haven't had any bazaar food from there yet.

There were six of us going at the time, 2 cars. J.C. was driving Tynnkerbel and Daniel there first and Ben was driving Sie Hui and I. Funny thing is, we got there first before they did even though they left first hahahah! Apparently they got stuck in a traffic jam along the way.

Since we had reached there first, we decided to survey the place and check out which food we all wanted to buy. There were so many choices, but then again most of them are selling the same old thing. The bazaar at SS18 was big I guess, but it felt smaller than it was last time. There wasn't really much variety foodwise as everyone was selling basically the same thing at the same prices. Though some chose to be entrepreneurs and sell it at a cheaper price or at a larger quantity.

Anyways, after J.C.'s group reached the place, we started buying our food already. We bought a lot of food from the bazaar that day to make it look like a feast hahaha! For myself, I bought a Nasi Ayam, Nasi Tomato, and Kebab Pita. The rice was nice, but the kebab was horrible. I regretted buying it after I ate it.

Before I eat of course, we were waiting for the time to break my phast to arrive, and we all went to Asia Cafe to eat our spoils of bargains. Bentan and I ordered a Large Tropical Fruit Juice from AC, which looked seriously good. It was a three-layered fruit drink. Bottom layer was Dragonfruit, middle was Mango, and to top it off, Honeydew. All of you should try it sometime. It's seriously good.

Our table was so funny as it was infested with food everywhere. And here's the good part. No utensils to eat it with hahahaha!! Bentan had the idea of getting some utensils from buying some chicken from Uncle Bob's Chicken. It worked in a way, he got two forks and two spoons. I just ate my food with my hand since I'm use to it already. J.C. and Tynnkerbel were eating their portions with some of the utensils Bentan got as well. Don't ask me how four people use two forks and two spoons to eat. Hahahaha!!!

Bentan and I got a little high on the fruit juice. Then again, Bentan was already feeling high before hahaha! For me, I get high when I drink any fruit juice. It's like my beer to get me drunk. We all started talking lots and lots of crap at the table and laughing our heads off everytime. We got so full when we finished eating everything, especially Bentan as he bought a lot of food at the bazaar with a side-dish of chicken from Uncle Bob's hahaha!

He agreed to send me home so we said goodbye to Sie Hui and walked to the direction of his car along with J.C. and Tynnkerbel behind us, walking at the same direction. The two of them were staying away from both of us as we were acting like complete drunkards at the time hahahahah!!! This is what happens when I drink any fruit juice. After that, Bentan dropped me off at my guardhouse where I saw my aunt and cousin there waiting for my mom and sis. I was wondering what's up and why are they waiting here. Apparently my other cousin just had her third baby that day. Yay!!! I have another nephew~ They still haven't decide on a name for him yet though haha! But he's so cute and little and so red hahahaha!!

Anyways, that's all for now. I need to go and finish up my lab reports and assignments now before I procrastinate it until the very last minute again. See ya people!

New Old Hobby Revived!

Hey people,

Okay, don't worry I'm done with the emo posts for now hahaha! I was feeling too inspired during those times that I just couldn't help myself. Anyway, moving on to a newfound past time of mine. I've recently been feeling very interested in giving people massages again.

I use to like giving massages, even when I was little. I always watched how happy those people on tv or my family members and how relaxed they were whenever they got the massages. All their troubles and worries seemed to have washed away from them. It seemed as though it had some magical powers, my thoughts were back when I was little. And so I started getting interested in giving people massages, because I wanted everyone to be happy at the time.

But after awhile and a few chain of events, I had lost interest in giving and receiving massages. That is up until I started in INTI. Back then, I think it was Alexis who got me interested in giving people massages again. When she was massaging the stiff necks of others, as I watched her perform it, the magic from when I was little came back, little by little. Though, I still didn't like receiving massages, unless I completely trust that person.

Nowadays, I've really gotten interested in giving massages again. I even bought the oil for it. But unfortunately, I don't really have a practice dummy on which I can train myself in giving massages. I got Benjamin to help me out in practicing the neck and shoulder massage, but that is without using any oils. He still enjoyed it though hahaha! I'm gonna try and see if he wants to be my practice dummy for the other parts as well. Then I could at least improve my skills as a masseuse hahahaa!!

Besides Benjamin, honestly I don't really know who else would like to get free massages. Amos was my practice dummy before for the neck and shoulder and slight back as well. But now that he's not in INTI anymore, I can't practice on him anymore. Sad...

I've been watching a lot of online videos on different techniques for massaging, but it all seemed still too good for me. Some of them are simple, and I know how to do it. It's just the amount of power that I have to use on different people are different. So I'm not really sure if I'm doing it too soft or too hard. This is why I need more practice with this... Especially with using the oil for massaging. I still haven't used it on anyone besides myself, which was on my legs. It felt good, but not as good as someone else doing it for me.

Another problem if I wanted to practice using the oil on anyone would be location. I can't really do it in my room as I'm sharing it with my brother, and it's quite hard to find someone who stays around and would like to try it. I can stay over at the person's house I guess, but then it still depends on things like if the person is comfortable with it, and what day would it be as I have classes on every weekday. Probably the only free time I have is Saturday and Sunday.

Oh well, I guess I'll try my luck with asking some people like Benjamin. If I'm lucky, I could find someone who would let me try it all. We'll see how it goes. Okay, enough procrastinating. It's time to finish up some assignments and prepare for INTIMA Week!
