Graduation 2012

Just like the flowers, the graduates are at full bloom on this joyous occasion

A massive amount of people were on campus during the afternoon of the 6th of September as graduates dressed in their regalia were taking pictures with their friends and family all over the campus. On campus there’s a blackboard where students can write what they want to achieve before they graduate. Many put generic things like “Make happy memories” or “Secure a job” at first, but students like me instead messed the board up by putting things like “Dance with a random stranger at Bush Court” or the more x-rated ones. As I look at my friends dressed in theirs, I picture myself wearing one these regalia in the not so distant future, that is if I don’t stuff up on any of my remaining units.

On the night of the 6th of September, over 70 Murdoch students of the School of Communication, the School of Business, and a few other disciplinary school departments had graduated from the university. A few standing among them were people I was proud to call my friends. It’s been a crazy time spent in university with most of them, and I can’t fathom the idea of them going off to the workforce and not being able to see them in class anymore.

Congratulations to all of my friends who've graduated! You've made it (somehow)!

Note: Sorry everyone I know the blog has a few bugs and issues I need to fix such as the music player and chatbox. I'll fix it up on my next study week break as I'm still too busy to even blog as often as I would have.

To Aussie, and beyond!

So yeah I haven't really updated everyone about the news yet. I'm no longer going to US but I'm going to Australia instead.... In a few hours from now! Hahahaha! I'll be attending Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. Reason for the change is due to a stupid complication about the US visa and my family didn't exactly wanted me to go to US due to it being dangerous and too far away from home. So I told them that I was willing to switch to Australia instead. And here we are! In a few more hours I'll be flying off to Australia for my Degree with a duration of 3 years. I've spent my last month saying my goodbyes to friends whom I might not have a chance to see again due to them leaving for the US, and said my see you laters to friends whom I will still be able to meet up with every December - February when I come back to Malaysia. Definitely going to miss it here, with all of the people whom I've befriended over the days, weeks, months, and years. Hopefully we'll all still be in touch with each other. Well I have to go for now.. Spending some time with my family before we leave for the airport so I'll blog to you guys another time!

Charlie St. Cloud Review

Finally!!! I'm done with exams and studies for the next two months!! I can finally just hang loose and relax, doing whatever I want haha! So in commemoration of that, I spoiled myself with buying some movies to watch for the next few days. Gosh I've been so out of touch with movies lately that I need either a good movie that I can praise or a bad movie that I could condemn. So for the first movie I've watched after my newfound freedom was...




The story depicts about how a young man named Charlie (played by Zac Efron) who was stricken by grief over the lost of his younger brother. As guilt left him scarred in his heart, he took a job as one of the caretakers of the cemetery where his younger brother was buried. Charlie however had a special bond with his younger brother, for even after death, he could still see his brother. He meets up with his younger brother, Sam (played by Charlie Tahan) every night and plays catch with him. But later on, Charlie was then stricken with a different feeling when a girl comes into his life. He must now choose between keeping a promise he made with his younger brother, or going after the girl that he loves.

***Spoiler Alert***

Don't say I didn't warn you with the sign above there! So anyways back to the movie. I really liked the movie mainly because of the brotherly love bond that was displayed by Zac Efron and Charlie Tahan. It somehow hit a soft spot for me. You don't see that kind of relationship between brothers too often at this day and age. The connection between the two brothers in the movie was just surreal.

My favorite part of the movie was when Charlie leaves to look for Tess (played by Amanda Crew) in the ocean, having to break his promise to Sam. The synchronism of Charlie and Sam, despite being far away from each other, how they were able to say what they wanted to each other was just amazing. A really job well done to the two actors.

There were however some things that I found to be cliff-hangers for the movie. First off, the movie didn't really show much about the mother. It was like after the funeral of the younger brother, she was just cutoff from the picture. Aside from that, the movie pace itself is a little slow, and they never really show much of Charlie's relationship with his old friends despite how they made it seem they were very close before they graduated high school.

But other than those mentioned, the rest of the movie was lovely. I give it a 3.7 out of 5 because of the great acting done by Zac Efron and Charlie Tahan. You guys should definitely go see it if you have the time.

A brand new face and attitude!

Hey there people!

It's been ages since I sat down and wrote on the blog. Plenty of stories to tell all of you over the past 6 months. I'm sure you noticed that I changed the blog look. Just to let you guys know it's still under the changing process. Some of my widgets aren't functioning properly like before and some need to be updated. I'll do that once my finals are over next week. By the way those that aren't in the current friends list over to your right-side, please leave your links on the chatbox or on the comments for this post! I lost all of my friend's links after the blog makeover. Thanks in advance guys!

A lot has been happening over the past 6 months that I'm not sure where I should start... Oh! As of the beginning of August I had officially stepped down as the chairperson of Editorial Board. It's been one heck of a ride, but my time in INTI will be over by the end of this semester, which is next week. I passed the club down to Venetia as the new chairperson, as well as handpicked most of the new committee members for Editorial Board. I have high hopes for them to re-lite the fire in the club that was dwindling over the past few months. I think it's gonna be alright. So far I've been playing the role of advisor for the club after the handover, teaching all of them the ropes for one last time before I leave. Editorial Board has been my baby for almost my whole life in INTI. I hope to see it live on even when I'm no longer around.

So far they've made two issues of the newsletter since the handover. I'd have to admit I felt both glad and worried at the same time from seeing the newsletter that they produce. It wasn't like our past issues, that's for sure. But this is the first time that all of them are doing it without most of the senior core members so hopefully they'll spread their wings soon enough and fly with the newsletter up sky high.

On the plus side there seems to be a lot of new faces in the club which I'm happy for them. As they say, the more the merrier. Hopefully with the new semester next year they would be able to pull in more people to join the club.

I feel kind of sad and it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to the club, but life goes on. Our reign, the seniors, are over and it's now time for the juniors to step up to the plate. All I can say is good luck to all of you and strive on!

Time heals... and a lot of zombies help too!

Hey people~~

Gosh I know I have been sooooo out of touch with the blog already and it has been sooo emo lately especially the last one, but I will try to keep it updated as much as I can minus the anger ehehe.

Anyways, after the last post I felt waaaaay better, as in my mood hahaha! And it helps to have some zombies around to kill as well hehe. Nowadays a lot of us are just addicts when it comes to Left 4 Dead 2. We almost couldn't go on without playing it everyday, seriously!

But it does the heart and soul good, especially when you get to kill your friends in there! And the blood... oh the blood... one word, beautiful. You guys should really play it if you haven't hahaha!! It is way better than going to a shrink for therapy hahaa!

Thanks to L4D2 I manage to have even more close friends and also strengthen the ones that I already have, along with making new ones. Nowadays I always hang out with Bentan, Patricky, Yo-yo Jon, Datuk Boomer Daniel, and Jia Gen, my high schoolmate whom I never really talk to before. He's in Taylor's now and will be leaving for the US next month.

All I have to post for now as I'm still eating my hugeeee lolipop I found in my fridge earlier! Half way done!! Hehe see ya people!

First Week Back

Hey people!

Wow been awhile since I posted, but I'll try to update it as soon as I can. Been too busy with too much work... Anyways, the new semester had officially started last week on Monday, and it couldn't have been sooner. I miss hanging out with everyone a lot! I especially miss the "pasar malam" noise that we can always hear in the CAE Office every morning.

I quite like my schedule for this semester since I'm only taking 3 subjects. But 1 of it is quite tough, which is ENL 102 (English Composition II). We already had to start working on our final project in the first week and hand in the idea this Thursday, which I still have no clue what I should choose as a topic.

It's still weird not seeing a lot of familiar faces in the CAE Office anymore, but life goes on as I'm slowly getting used to it.

The first few days were quite fun, and suddenly the sluggish feeling of wishing for an extended holiday came back. But so far it's all good. I really like learning SOC 103 (Sociology) right now as it's a really fun and interesting subject, and Ms. Lim makes it even more fun to learn.

ED Board work seems to be piling up with each day, and there has been so much that's been going on that's making it feel so stressful that I just want to quit (Don't worry, I won't). I still haven't finish editing my own article let alone the other writer's articles. And I still need to plan out the general ED Meet meeting for next week, and keep myself updated with the Bake Sale and Writing competition that we will be hosting next month. Thankfully I have a good bunch of slaves... I mean diligent co-workers to work with.

I'm already starting my application for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I'm almost done with it I guess, just need to get the bank statement from my parents which they said to wait until next month, and to take my TOEFL test on March. I'm going to apply to only 1 university I think as the deadline for most of the other universities are at the beginning of March, which means I can't even apply because I don't have my TOEFL test results yet. The earliest I got for the TOEFL test in Subang Jaya was on the 13th of March. Thank goodness the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire accepts pending TOEFL results when you apply for the university, or I wouldn't have made it in time for the scholarship application. Hopefully everything goes well and I get accepted or else I'm screwed.

I've been working a lot in the Marketing Office last month, and I'm still helping out during the weekends this month for education fairs and stuff like that. Hopefully I could earn some money in my bank account instead of leaving it empty like any other day before. After paying for the registration cost of my TOEFL exam, my current balance is almost 0. Spent too much before, pay the price I guess.

The past year was full of sweet and bitter memories... Hopefully this year would be better than the last. Time to get back to work I guess... See ya people!

Happy New Year 2010!!!

Hey people!!!

Just here to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!!! I know that I'm lagging behind with the posts, but I'll be able to post regularly once the semester starts, which is next week. A lot of things have been happening, and I'll do my best to update all of you on it as soon as I can. Right now I have to work on my article or someone *Points at J.C.* is going to make me buy dinner for them if I don't get it done by Sunday. See ya people on the New Year!!!

Singapore Trip!

Hey people!!!

Okay, I know I've been so lazy to post things up on the blog and I have to apologize for that hahahaha! The holiday has made me become a very, very, VERY lazy person (even more so than I was before). Anyway, as most of you probably have known by now I went to Singapore last weekend to visit some old friends of mine. It was definitely a memorable trip I can tell you that hahahaha!

Okay, let's start from the beginning. Last Friday I went to Singapore by bus with my sister, aunt, and 2 cousins. The bus trip was okay I guess except for some noisy people upfront. I was seated away from my family all the way at the back row. The guy next to me brought his laptop to watch some movies on the bus. One time he was juggling between his laptop and his food that he almost dropped the laptop. Luckily he caught it in time or else he was going to pay for more than what he bargained for this trip.

I spent the whole bus trip reading on the book that I got from my sister's friend for my birthday. It was called "The Master of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon. It was a really, really good book to read and my praises and worships to the author. He really did his research before writing that book. I'll tell all of you more on that book on another post.

Anyways, when we reached Singapore, we headed for our hotel called the "Fragrance Crystal Hotel" in the Geylang area. My sister and aunt booked the place and didn't know that it was a red district area until I told them hahahahaha!!! FYI for those of you who don't know what red district means, basically it's where all the prostitutes work. Yes, you heard me hahahahahah!

We went for a fancy dinner at an Italian restaurant called Prego. It was seriously overpriced. Luckily, my sister's friend was buying dinner for all of us so we didn't have to spend a single penny for the food. I had the spinach for dinner and it was horrid. I literally threw up in my mouth. For being an Italian restaurant, it didn't really have that much pasta food selections. There were at least 3 birthdays being celebrated at the restaurant that night. Talk about coincidence huh?

The next day, I spent the whole day with my friends from Singapore. There was an Anime convention/festival going on and so they took me there. Some of them were cosplaying for the event and some were one of the organizers of the event. It was really quite an interesting event and I really enjoyed myself. I waited for them at the MRT station to go to the event. Elena told me to wait for her at 2.30pm. It was 2.50pm until I called her and she said she'd be there at 3. So I waited and saw Cass at the station with Makoto and Vincent. We were all waiting for Elena to show up. You see a lot of interesting people inside the MRT I tell you. There was a transvestite walking past us while we were waiting, and there was also a guy wearing only boxers with a fishing pole and another guy wearing a pink dress. Yeah, the image was burned into my brain.

Anyway, it was 3.30pm that time and Elena was still no where to be seen. So we all decided to just ditch her at the station and meet her at the event hahahaha!!! The ticket lines were quite long but we managed to get them faster than we anticipated. Elena showed up later on and didn't recognize me hahahaha! She thought Cassie's cousin was me and said "Wah! You changed a lot wei!" Hahahahah!!! There were a lot of people cosplaying at the event, and some of them I have to admit looked really hot and sexy. But some just ruined the image of the characters like this dude cosplaying as Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. He was not only overweight, but he had too much make-up on him. Yeah, that ruined the image of Roxas for me forever.

There was also a Moe Moe Cafe inside the hall where the waitresses dressed up really cute, like characters in anime that are wearing maid costumes. Unfortunately, the food costs a bomb from what I heard. Later on, we found Claude managing some of the artworks display during the event. We were all looking for Denise where she seemed to have been out of the radar of everyone. Elena was pissed that we couldn't find her. After a long search, we finally found her cosplaying. She was tired already from doing all sorts of posses while people took pictures of her. We were all feeling kind of parched later that day and decided to go and have a drink at Starbuck's Coffee. Over there, we met up with Ivan. He sort of reminded me of LP in a lot of ways. And we all had a shock of our lives later on when we found out that he was actually 28 years old when we thought that he looked 20 hahahaah!

After filling ourselves with some Starbucks, we went back to the event to get Claude and Denise's stuff to go out for dinner. There were two groups going for dinner, us and the cosplayers. Denise and Claude went to have dinner with the cosplayers while the rest of us went for dinner at Just Asia. It took quite awhile for us to get a table inside that place, but we managed to eventually. The food wasn't that bad I guess. Something like what you can find in Asia Cafe.

After that we all cam-whored at the Christmas tree outside the building. It took quite some time as Ivan was trying to be a perfectionist in taking the photo hahahahah! Elena got fed up waiting and she just used her DSLR and cam-whored herself hahahaha!!!

When we finished cam-whoring, we went to the station and said our goodbyes. On my way back to the hotel, a prostitute approached me and asked me to hire her. I kept saying no thanks but she kept persisting. She was about 30-40 years old I think. Then when she wouldn't give up, I said "Sorry I'm gay." and I thought that was going to stop her. She then responds with "Oh, I can go both ways." Yeah, let's just end the story there HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!

On Sunday, my sister, cousin and I went out for breakfast while my aunt and other cousin stayed over at a relative's house. The taxi drivers are really nice over there. Anyways, we ate at a Singaporean version of a Mamak store. It wasn't that bad really. Afterwards we went and shopped at a flea market nearby. Prices were just dirt cheap at the time hahahah! Afterwards we went to the station and waited for the bus to go home. And that was about it for the Singapore trip. It was really quite interesting, especially the prostitute part HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Till next time people!

2 Months of Agony!

Hey people,

Sorry I haven't been updating. Just too damn lazy to blog these past few weeks hahahahah!

Anyways, now that I finally got my 2 months break, I find myself lost in what I should be doing. I feel so empty this holiday due to the fact that almost everyone I know and hung out with is on holidays or has gone over to the States already. And those on holiday are gone for about a month or so. I tried to look for a part-time job for this month, keyword being 'tried', but there's just nothing that catches my eye.

I tried to do some Ed Board work to fill up my time, but there just isn't that much left to do right now. We might be getting a sponsorship for color from NST (News Straight Times) but that is yet to be determined.

I've been trying to read off some books I got from a friend of my sister, but whenever I tried to read it something comes up and stops me from reading it. The title of the books are "Master of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon, and "Mistress of the Game" by Tilly Bagshawe based on Sidney Sheldon. I'm starting with the first book I mentioned and so far it seems very interesting. Good thing to fill up my time for about... 2 days I think before I finish reading it.

I'm thinking that I should be taking a class on self-defense or something in the lines of that, cause lately I've been feeling the need to punch something. Release of some stress hahahahaha!!! So far nothing came across my mind just yet, but I'm keeping my eyes and ears wide open for anything interesting, cheap, and nearby.

I should be registering myself in TOEFL soon, but I haven't had the time to go to the center and register just yet... Okay that's total bull crap since I've got nothing but time on my hands right now. I'm just too lazy to walk there and register hahahaha!

I'll be taking my driver's test soon hopefully, when my mom and stepfather gets one of their friends to teach me. Don't worry, I'll give everyone a fair warning when I get to be on the road hahahaha!

I've been craving to watch some movies lately, but there just isn't anyone to go and watch it with. It's kind of boring to watch movies alone, and I lost interest in watching soon afterwards.

I've been playing some online games again since I got my internet line back inside my house. Been addicted to this new game called Emil Chronicle Online, or ECO in short that LP introduced to me some time ago. Damn you LP!!! Because of you I've become a lifeless soul once again! SOBZ... Hahahaha!!

Will be starting a new blog soon after hearing someone's suggestion. Don't worry, I'll still update this blog hahahah! That new blog is going to be a little more... professional based. I'll be writing something like reviews and stuff like that on that blog, but I'm not entirely sure yet on what reviews I'd be doing on just yet.

I'll be going to Singapore this Friday until Sunday hahaha! Will be meeting some old friends of mine in Singapore after not seeing them for almost... 2 years I think? And we've all known each other for about 6 years hahaha! Damn that's one of the longest friendship I have thus far hahahaha!!! Will let all of you know how that trip goes when I get back.

I think that's all I can say for now as there isn't much story in this holiday to write on. Oh well, progress everyday I guess. See you all next time!

Surprise Party!

Hey everyone!

Alright I'm a little late but I'll update you on what happened on Sunday hahahah!!

At first I had a nice lunch with Edison, where he bought me a slice of cake from Secret Recipe and a Beryl's chocolate hahaha! We ate at the Old Town White Coffee at SS15, which was okay2 only I guess. It wasn't so bad, but not that great either haha! Our lunch lasted about an hour until he had somewhere he had to go, so I was stranded with nothing to do until Sie Hui picks me up for the movie later. So I just wasted about two hours inside FTZ, the cybercafe. Waste of money to be honest, there wasn't much to do there alone.

After that I just went to college for a little while and checked who's around. Apparently a lot of students are still having exams, I think it's the diploma students. They were studying all over the concourse and the reading room. Then I met Kiet at the reading room and I just talked with him awhile until he had to go somewhere and meet someone.

Around three something, Sie Hui came to college and picked me up to go for the movies, but we were early so we went window shopping first. After that, we went to pick up the tickets where we met Pok over there. "Surprise!" both of them said, and so it was Pok, Sie Hui and me at the movies. I asked who else is coming, and she just played the fifth amendment on me. On the way out of the movies we saw Tynnkerbel. What a coincidence! Apparently her excuse was that she was meeting some old secondary friends for a movie over here. Okay... Didn't buy that for a second hahaha!! She said her other half couldn't come because he had some family dinner going on.

We went to look around for a little while until the movie started. Then on the way back to the cinema, we met Ben & Stephy where he said surprise!!! He told me earlier that he had some counseling work to do so he couldn't come. Apparently, I was his patient of the day hahaha!! So then the six of us went for the movie, 'Law Abiding Citizen' which was awesome!!! Gave it a 9 out of 10 rating. Tell you more about the movie on another post. After the movies, we walked around for a bit until it was seven sharp. Then we headed to TGI Fridays for dinner.

There, another surprise was waiting for me. JC, Zjen Thak, Vinod and Kiet were waiting for me there. JC even brought along Squat hahahah!! I was so surprised because it was really unexpected! Especially Vinod and Zjen Thak being there because they already said earlier that they had to go to Selayang to attend a wedding. They came all the way back to celebrate with me. Thanks guys!!!

A little while later, Jerusha and Hafizah joined in as well. Wow, really didn't expect a lot of company that night so it was really a surprise for me. They got me to wear this green cat ears that JC made for me the whole night hahahah! They also gave me 'Dexter' season one and an English-BM dictionary translation hahahahahah!!! Thanks everyone!!

Later on, they made me stand on the chair, the usual TGI Fridays tradition. I had to blow my candles from far far away hahahaha!! After that I had to find a cherry in a pile of whipped cream with my mouth, where JC, Vinod and Zjen Thak so kindly pushed my head deep into the whipped cream hahahaha!!! After that I splattered some on Tuan Tynn, JC, Sie Hui, Ben, and Zjen Thak hahaha!!

We then had a group photo session before leaving the restaurant. It was kind of funny and chaotic at the same time hahahaha!!! After that Sie Hui, Poke, JC, Tuan Tynn and myself went for an after-party to get drunk on fruit juice over at Asia Cafe hahahaha!!! It was great as we ordered 2 jugs of different fruit juice and mixed them all together. We were telling each other all sorts of lame jokes and even some racists and dirty ones as well hahahah!!

After that we called it a night and went back home. It was the best birthday I've had thus far. Thanks everyone for making my birthday a very happy one! You guys are the best and the only wish I made on that day was for me to be able to continue my friendship with everyone. I love you guys! I'll post the photos of the night once I finish snatching all of them from all the cameras hahaha!

Connected again! Halloween Dinner! Movie!

Hey people!

Yes the title does seem messy because there are three things I'll be writing about on this post hahaha!

First, I'm connected online again!!! I finally managed to get the P1Wiimax. It was kind of random. It was a regular Friday afternoon and I was going to go for a movie with LP and Sie Hui. I wasn't planning to look for the P1Wiimax guy at all but suddenly, there he was right in front of me. Of course I couldn't pass this opportunity even though it meant an extra trip to the bank which was like on the other side of the world! (Yes, I'm being over dramatic)

Anyways... After I finished getting it, Sie Hui and I were waiting for LP to arrive which he took his time... A LONG Time to reach. When he finally reached, he was busy being a tutor to all the CSC 101 students who are having exams later on. After a few hours, we left to go to Pyramid.

First we had dinner at Pasta Zanmai. Very very nice and very very expensive hahaha! Sie Hui and I extorted LP of his wallet to pay for the early dinner hahahah! Thanks LP! They took me out that Friday to have an early birthday celebration hahah!

After that we went for the movies. We watched "The Time Traveller's Wife" which was so so so good and romantic and sad! Loved it lots. Sie Hui and LP ended up in tears at the end. I almost cried, but it wasn't strong enough to break me to tears hahaha!

LP then sent me home along with Sie Hui. He gave me two of his bags filled with textbooks and told me I could keep them including the bags. Thanks again LP!

And that was Friday hahaha! Fast forward to today! Halloween night!

Nothing much to say about today other than the Halloween birthday dinner my family took me for. We went to the Manhattan Fish Market for dinner. It was quite nice, not bad but the Halloween special wasn't really my cup of tea.

That's all there is to say for now hahahha! My birthday will officially be in 2 more hours hahahah! So far my plans for tomorrow is just going to the movies with Sie Hui and later have dinner. Everyone else is busy tomorrow I think. Tell all of you more about it tomorrow night hahah! Till then!

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!

I'm back!!

Hey people!!!

Yesh! After a long one month absenty I'm back to the blogging world! But not just yet though. My internet right now is killing me so I won't write any stories until tomorrow. I'm also thinking of changing the blog layout as well. We'll see how it goes as I have all day tomorrow to fix it, finally!

So many things are left untold, so many things needed to be told. I'll do my best to update everyone on what's been going on for the past two months, though I might be skipping some of the stories. We'll see how it goes. Tune in tomorrow folks!

Updating!

Hey everyone, I realize that I haven't updated the blog quite often as I promised before. Sorry about that, going through some hard time right now so I couldn't write much. I still am going through a hard time but I should start updating the blog at least once in awhile. Anyways, picking up from the last post! I'll post a few stories all in one.


Terminator Salvation

First up is the Terminator Salvation movie that I went to watch along with LP, Han Sen, Naomi, Paul and Jerusha. The movie was quite okay. It did justice I guess. A lot of action pact inside of it. It had a lot of moral values within it as well as a lot of explosions ahaha. We managed to get the last six seats of the movie during the premier which was very very lucky ahaha!

We went there by three cars, one driven by LP, one driven by Naomi and one driven by Paul. Naomi, Jerusha and Paul went ahead first to get the tickets as Han Sen and I were waiting for LP to finish his class. Originally we were going to watch another movie which I've already forgotten what it was, but when we heard there were seats available for Terminator Salvation, we jumped to the opportunity.

The movie was quite good. Naomi and Jerusha never watched Terminator before so we had toeducate them during the movie ahahah! LP enjoyed the movie more than he expected. He's considering of getting the movie in Blu-Ray disc format. We thought of maybe making this a once every two weeks kind of thing, going to the movies together. After the movie was over and done with, we were thinking of going for some dessert but everyone felt tired so we all went home after that. Next story!

ED BOARD CAMP JUNE 2009!!!

Yes people, you read correctly! It was the first time ever done before by ED Board. A camp getaway! The camp was a great success although we had some problems along the way.

First, the bus tickets. We didn't manage to book them in time so they had to leave the bus station from KL Central to Genting at 1.00PM instead of 10.00AM. That was still okay though. While the rest of them were going by bus, Alexis and Jessica were going there together by car to prepare the food. LP, Han Sen, Sie Hui and I went there way before anyone else as well to clean up the place and get everything ready for the others. We finished cleaning the place quite fast so LP, Sie Hui and I took a cat nap while Han Sen was cleaning the chickens for the BBQ later on that night.

When all of them reached, they were all starving so Alexis, Jessica and Sie Hui whipped up some sphaghetti for everyone to eat. It was really yummy ahaha! After that, Alexis the briefing to the station masters aka the OomPaLoomPas' on what all of us had to do during the Amazing Genting Race we were hosting for the rest of them. She gave me and Naomi Walkie Talkieswhich saved us a bundle on phone credits.

We were expecting all of them to take about 2 hours to finish of the race, but surprisingly all of them took around 5 hours to finish the games. Apparently they got stuck on the 2nd clue of the game that Han Sen and I did. The fastest team took 1 hour to figure it out ahahahahaha!!

After we played the race, it was getting late. Too late to make a BBQ. So we settled for leftover spaghettis and some mashed potatoes. The rest of the night everyone just bonded with each other. We played Dead Or Alive 4 on the XBOX 360, Grand Turismo 5 on the PlayStation 3, some Cho-Tai-Ti which was hilarious, and the funnest game of all, Mafia! That was ridiculously hilarious ahahaha! We created a whole story from it and tried to find the killer and ended up killing some innocent bystanders hahahaha!

Most of us stayed up all night until 4.00AM. Then it was lights out and everyone went to sleep. Except for me of course. I couldn't sleep too well due to a few reasons I can't really say. Anyway, I spent most of the night at the balcony, looking up at the stars. It was quite hard to see any with all the fog around that night. But when I do see some stars, it's quite nice and peaceful. I could think more clearly and enjoyed the night, mountain air at the same time. I should go to Genting more often ahahah!

The next day, LP was the first one to wake up in the morning. He began his job as a Paparazzi and started taking photographs of everyone sleeping in an awkward position hahahahaha!! But too bad the lighting was bad so he couldn't take much shots.

Everyone started waking up as Alexis's group from the other apartment unit visited us in the morning to start cooking breakfast. It was impossible for anyone to continue sleeping after that. We had some baked beans, chicken balls and hot dogs for breakfast which were delicious.

After that, everyone started showering and getting dressed to go home. When I was done, Alexis and I had a little chat while we were alone in one of the rooms. She heard that originally I was planning of not coming for the camp at all and so asked me as to the reason why. I answered her because I was feeling quite depressed at the time due to *Fill in the blank _______________* and if I went for camp in my depress state, I'd just bring everyone down and ruin the mood. After that she asked if I regretted my decision of coming to camp. I answered her no because we don't get much of these kind of chances, and I had a lot of fun at camp. We were discussing about some other stuffs as well, but was interupted by someone so we stopped there. After that she told me to prepare a speech to give later on for the ED Board sentimental moment.

We made the announcement to everyone and had our speeches ready. First, Alexis started out and told everyone of how ED Board has grown and her first experience when she joined it last year during her first semester. After that, LP started talking about his experience as well, and then Alexis made the announcement that from now on, Naomi would be the Chairperson of ED Board and I would be the Vice-Chairperson. After that, it was Naomi's turn to give the speech. When she was done with her speech, it was then my turn to speak of my experience in ED Board. I told them what I was expecting when I joined, what I got instead, how I've grown from ED Board and the reason why we had this camp. After that we toasted to a lot of things, and finally drank our glasses of sparkling juice.

The ones who came by bus had to leave then as the bus was going to leave soon. After that, only LP, Han Sen, Sie Hui and I were left at the apartment. We cleaned everything up until it was squeaky clean. We played Cho-Tai-Ti for about 2 hours before we decided to go home. It was incredibly hilarious as we screamed after almost every round when someone wins ahahah!

After that, we went back to Subang Jaya and ate at the mamak near INTI. Everyone felt drained after the trip. When we finished eating, everyone went home to rest. It was one of the best weekends I've ever had. Next story!

Mid-Term Mania!

Right after camp, I had 3 Mid-terms waiting for me the next week. First was the Music Appreciation mid-term. I was worried that I had not studied enough to pass it, which turned to be true. I did quite a lot of careless mistakes within it such as spelling errors. Urgh, coming from a journalism major that is not something fun to have. But I did okay on it I guess, even though it could have been better.

Second test I had was my World Religion which was not fun at most parts. I didn't do good in this one either as there were some things I forgot during the test. There's just too much to remember at once! I got a little bit more than half of the paper on that test.

Last test I had was on Public Speaking. This was quite an okay test. I didn't do too badly, yet not good enough either. Although I had the highest mark in my class, apparently it was the average mark on the other class. Sad... but oh well. I can only try to do better next time!

Lesson learnt. Never study last minute as you'll only regret it in the future.

Busy times

Hey all,

Sorry I didn't update at all yesterday. It's been quite hectic right now with the beginning of the new semester and all that. I'll do the class review post on another day after I've experience all my new classes this semester.

Basically right now, I don't really have much time to blog nor is my mood state any better to really write something for now. Sorry guys, feeling a little bit out of it these past few days. Too much stuff going around in my head.

Anyways, I'll try to start posting normally again starting now so hopefully it will be regularly again as usual.

Taking the weekend off

As the title says, I'll be taking this weekend off from blogging. Sorry guys. I can't really blog the way I am right now. Been doing everything I can to take my mind off things such as playing the guitar and studying my subjects ahead before the class even starts. I already know most of the textbooks I'll be using for next sem which is starting this monday, so I just started reading on it.

I'll start posting again on monday but until then, I'll stop for the weekend. Again, sorry.

Day Off

Hey all,

Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday as I was feeling a little under the weather. Basically for the first time since my last exam paper, I've been going to college everyday. Yesterday was the first day that I just stayed in bed and not go anywhere. I actually was planning to go to college yesterday, but I got a little bit delirious when I woke up and so I just decided to stay home and sleep-in for the day.

I was thinking that yesterday would be my day off from any kind of work. Boy, was I off the mark. When I got up at around 10.00am, my family put me to work by doing some labor for them. Some of the things they asked me to do were things that they could have done it themselves, but the idea of someone else doing it stayed in their minds I guess. It wasn't a lot to do anyways so I can't complain much about it.

I spent a few hours yesterday practicing on my guitar, finally. I bought it back at Sweden and I haven't touched it since middle of January. Was too busy to play it back then up until now but yesterday opened a window of opportunity for me to practice it. It was fun and painful at the same time ahhaha! The strings on my guitar are quite hard so that explains why I said it was painful.

Good news is we finally got a new maid in the house. My aunt found her for us so at least now I won't have to do all the house chores around the house. She seems okay from first look, but it's still too early to say anything. But hey, I'm not complaining about it since now I won't have to do much work at home.

Not much to say about yesterday other than that. I'm still feeling kind of out of it today, as it's not budging anywhere. But at least I'm able to control it so that's good. All I can say for today. Need to get some rest or another Battlefield therapy session ahaha!

Guess who's back with a lot of stories?

Hey everyone!!!

Sorry for taking a longer time to update the blog. A lot has happened these past few weeks and I was so busy that I didn't have time to update the blog. Sorry all! Alright, time to update all of you on what's been happening for the past few weeks. Starting off with the finals!

Final Exams

Boy was this a hectic time. My final exams were quite stressful and kind of funny in a way. First, I had my macro economics exam. That was quite okay. I think I can score at least an A- on it. Hopefully, because the essay question was quite hard. I was scared when I was doing the essay question because they were asking for current situations in the U.S. economy and what has the Fed and Obama done to fix it. Crap. Coming from someone who never keeps himself updated with world news, this question was quite hard. But thankfully I did some research a few hours before the exam so I hope that I got it correctly.

After macro econs was over, the next day was history and politics. Yay~ The day that I'd wish I was dead had arrived! Not. Surprisingly I did okay in both exams. I stayed over at LP's house the night before the exam and we studied politics until it was 2.00am. He hit the sack at the time while I stayed up the rest of the night studying for history. For me, my history exam was first before politics and I haven't read a single thing from history yet. So, I spent the whole night stressed out reading history. During the exam, I straight away did the essay and short answer questions first. For history and politics exam, the format was 30 objective questions, 5 short essays, and 1 long essay questions. I worked my way from the back first. The essay questions... I have no idea how I did it but I somehow manage to remember some points and made it long. History is secured I hope. At first I thought that I wouldn't have time to finish up the exam as it was only 2 hours long and we had 6 essay questions to answer like the exam before finals. To my utmost surprise, I finished it with 15 minutes to spare. Woo hoo!

After history was over and done with, I had to study for my politics as I had about 4 hours before the exam starts. I spent about 3 hours reading only 3-5 pages of the politics book. And I had about 200+ pages to study. I was feeling so tired that the information wasn't going through my brain. Correction. It went into one ear and out at the other. I couldn't stand it anymore that I broke the rule that I set myself not to do. I bought a Starbucks coffee! Nooooo! My Mac resolution! But oh well, desperate times call for desperate measures. I only had 1 hour before the exam starts so I had to drink it so sue me! After drinking it, my eyes were wide open and my brain felt very sharp. I took the politics book and started to speed read everything inside. Miraculously, I manage to finish reading everything in that 1 hour.

It was time for the exam. I started it off at the long essay question first. I saw it. Just one line. Explain Bill of Rights. Crap. I was literally afraid that I won't be able to make it long. So I started explaining the Bill of Rights was made by who and who during what time. Then I explained every single amendment inside the Bill of Rights along with examples but I couldn't remember the 10th amendment. Only that it had something to do with the power of congress. Then I noticed that I had wrote about 3 pages full and spent about 45 minutes of the 2 hours on this question alone. Crap! I was scared I won't make it in time with the other questions. Thankfully, every other question that came out after that were things that I had just read a few minutes ago so I remembered everything. I was almost laughing out loud during the exam when I saw those questions! I finished the exam with 30 minutes to spare so I left the exam hall early with a big grin on my face. Conclusion, always drink Starbucks coffee before an exam to keep yourself alert ahahaha! I'm so going to sue the lecturer if she doesn't give me at least a B+ on my politics! My coursework wasn't really great, but it's not that bad either. Weee~ nightmare was over and only one exam left!

CSC was a little bit... difficult in some parts. I did a lot of careless mistakes. I only started reading for CSC about 2 hours before the exam so this was partially my fault. Okay, it was all my fault. Oh well, the exam wasn't so bad though. But I'm still sad as my lecturer already told me my marks for the subject and it was a B+. Nooooooooo! I wanted at least an A- from CSC as my coursework was quite high! Sobs... That was very disappointing... Oh well, it's all over! 2 weeks of freedom before the new semester starts! Woo hoo!!! Yes! Next story!

Sleepover at LP's Place

This happened the night before our politics exam. We both wanted to study more on politics and thought that it was better for us to study together than seperately so that we could help each other out on some parts. Might have been a good idea, or a bad idea if we were to talk all night instead of studying. Anyways, it was getting a little late at college so I accepted his offer and stayed over at his place in Klang. First time I was ever in Klang so yeah, that was fun ahaha!

While we were driving to his place, he was telling me all about the roads in Klang and how many minutes would it take us to pass from one area to the next and we started talking crap again. When we reached his living area, I was going waaaaaaa. It was a really nice neighborhood to live in. It looked like one of those places where a lot of rich people lived in and I was right. Apparently there were quite a few rich and famous corporate people living in that area. I was going like, whoaaaaaaaa this is your house???? His house looked really nice.

At the front lawn he had some Usagi lawn ornaments ahaha. Next to his TV in the living room he had a few Neko figurines. In his kitchen he had some Kuma and Inu comforters on the fridge. They were all soooo kawaii desu~ Yes, I have a weakness for cute things so shut up! Ahahaha! I came to a conclusion that his mom must be an animal lover with all those decorations in the house.

His room was really nice. It was seperated into two rooms actually. One for his bedroom and the other is his computer room I guess. I especially love his bean bag chairs ahahah! I sat on those things all night while I was at his place. It was seriously comfortable and fun to sit in. His computer was just ridiculous. 2 monitors! Man, I so wanted to rob him blind after that ahahahah!

We spent about 3 hours reading on politics while talking about other stuffs as well. Yeah, it was bad for us to talk about other things while we had our finals the next day but we were both very bored! It wasn't a bad decision to sleepover at his place after all. In the end, we did help each other out on some of the things we didn't know so that was good. Didn't get to see much of Klang though since I was only there for that night and we studied our brains out. I'll explore more of Klang the next time I stay over at his place ahaha! Next story!

Student Helper for Info Day

Last Saturday and Sunday, the college needed a few student helpers for Info Day. I got recommended by Avril May Chong to work for Marketing Office. If you're wondering why I call her that, it was a trend started by JC during last semester and has stayed that way even now haha! Anyways, I took the job and started to work for Marketing Office. Woo hoo free T-shirt! It was a rule that all student helpers for Marketing Office would get the new INTI T-shirt and they have to wear it while they work.

I worked in front of the reception area on Saturday, welcoming people who came to INTI. It was a fun job and I got a good exercise from it as after welcoming them, I had to usher them up to the third floor using the lift going up and after that going down using the stairs back to my post. Repeat that process for over 50 times. Trust me, it's a damn good exercise ahahahah!

Sunday on the other hand was a little hectic and was a mental torture. I was working as a tele-marketer for the Marketing Office that day. For 8 hours I had to call random people asking them questions and all that. I had a few parents shout at me, a few people hanging up on me with extensive force, and a few who just said straight flat NO.

That was an interesting experience that I never want to repeat again. I'm going to need therapy after that. And that therapy was a battlefield session with LP and a few other people like Amos, Eugene, JC and many more ahahah! Next story!

ED Board Rush Hour

This was a scary one. The Ed Board rush hour was really exhausting. We started working on the next issue and finished what article titles and theme we wanted for May just last Monday. We needed to start work on the issue ASAP. The issue is going to come out on this coming Thursday for Orientation Day. Yeah. We had about 9 days left to get about 10-13 articles written by the editorial team, designing the layouts and graphics by the design team, and lastly print about 1000 copies for Thursday. Simple right? Let's start panicking people! Yay!

We decided that each of those tasks get only a maximum of 3 days to get everything done. I finished getting the writers to write everything and finished editing some of them yesterday. A few people didn't include any pictures in their article so I had to find some pictures that would fit their article for them. Man was that a tiring job to do.

After finishing up everything, I celebrated myself as my part is done and now it's time for the design team a.k.a LP to start on his work. Hopefully he'll have help this time so he won't do it alone again. I can't wait to see how this issue turns out as we have quite a few interesting articles inside it. Okay enough about work, next story!

INTIMA Conference

Now for the last story for today, the INTIMA Conference! It started yesterday as the other 6 INTI's all over Malaysia came for the conference. The INTIMA Exco's only, not the entire student body. I was asked to be a helper for the event in helping them prepare before the other INTI-ans and Metropolitans arrived.

It was kind of exciting at first when you have something to do, but when you're job is done there's nothing left for you to do. LP was taking pictures during the opening ceremony of the conference while Alexis and I sat on the floor at the back working on our laptops. I was editing some articles and playing facebook while Alexis was listening to her songs and the conference at the same time and started to work on her article.

I wasn't in the conference when the INTIMA's were discussing the issues but from what I heard, it wasn't very productive. Apparently, they're repeating the same issues that has been said by their predecessors before them. That's not a good sign. Other than that I heard that some people from the conference sounded really, really snobbish that it makes you just want to punch their face and say we know already so shut up! Ahhahaah! The conference is still going on today and tomorrow but today and tomorrow is only about fun. They discussed the one year issues in under 2 hours and 30 minutes. Yeah. Not much progress can be made from that. Today and tomorrow is only going to be about getting to know each other, playing some games and having fun. I'm student helper for tonight so we'll see how it goes.

Well, that's all the stories for now to make up for the sabatical that I took a few weeks ago. My holiday seem to mostly revolve on work and INTI so yeah, I practically have no life whatsoever. See ya people!

Two Weeks Sabbatical

Hey people!

Yes after more than a month of posting everyday, I finally missed a day! Yay~ I'm still sick with a fever right now and it was quite bad yesterday. So I just took a day off from blogging. Now I'm afraid I'll have to take a two weeks sabbatical from blogging as my final exams are next week. Eyup, the day has come.

Wow, time sure flies really fast this semester. It felt like it just started and now it's already coming to the end of the semester. I have to say I'm quite happy with my macro econs and csc coursework marks. -A is in my hands! If I study for them ahaha! As for history and politics... let's just say that I'd be happy with a B in my hands if possible. Have to work hard for them. And you know what's great? Final exam for politics and history are on the same day so yeah, I'm so screwed! Yay!

Okay people, I have to say goodbye for about 2 weeks to focus on final exams. I'll start posting again once my finals are over next week so, wish me luck people! See you guys next week!

Slaving at home

Today was suppose to be a relaxing day for everyone since it's a Saturday. I thought that I would be relaxing too since I only have a few things to do to finish up an assignment. But no, it couldn't be that easy.

First, when I finished my part of the group assignment I wanted to go and rest for awhile as I still had a slight fever from yesterday. Then as I was about to doze off, my mom came in and called me to help clean the whole house. Great. As if my own room wasn't a challenge enough to clean, she asked me to clean everyone's room as well as the living room and kitchen. Not only that, I also had to do everyone's laundry work as well. While I'm at it, I also had to take out all the trash which mounted into 2 big black piles of garbage bags.

While I was doing all of this, my groupmate called me and told me that I did the assignment wrongly and so I had to redo my part again. Crap. So, I had to research everything all over again while doing the chores around the house with a fever that's getting worse and worse by the minute. Yay for me~

After I finally finished the assignment and most of the chores around the house, my mom invited some people over and I again had to help prepare the tables and such. When I was going to clean my room, my brother was around and I thought "Forget it. Even if I clean this place it will be messy again in less than an hour."

After he left, I lost the mood to clean and my fever was getting bad. At least I'm not delirious yet. And now I have to start studying to prepare for my finals exam which is in about 9 more days. Hopefully this fever would be gone soon and I can jump and scream again.
