Happy Birthday..

to ROGER!

Hehe..
Yesterday celebrated his birthday for him..

In the morning, I went to Sunway to meet up with Sook Jean and Kit Yee. We had breakfast together and went to arcade for a while..
Haih.. Damn cacat edi.. Long time didn't practice..
Play Time Crisis 3, can't even finish Area 2 in stage 1 =.=''
Play House of The Dead, the only thing i remember is losing 2 lives in the first 20 seconds ><'' Then, around 11.30pm, I was on my way to fetch Roger from Sunway College(We were supposed to meet the others at Red Box Sg. Wang).. Only to figure out that I don't even know where my car was parked. LOL.

So - I found my way to the birthday boy at around 12pm..

And together we endured the awfully painful crawl at Federal Highway. With a little bit of luck (I was guessing the way there.. agak agak only XD) we reached Jalan Hang Tuah in no more than an hour.
Roger was so relieved because he's stomach is growling in hunger now (imagine this - rawr!!). Then, Kah May called Roger (or the other way round, I dunno haha) and we found out that her mom took her car and she won't be able to join us soon..

So, we decided to grab her from her house somewhere near Pandan Indah (i think) and bring her in.

We brushed past Times Square and, with a little bit of luck (again) and a lot of patience and a few stomach-growling sessions, we worked our way through the driver-less-cars-infested road near a mosque (trust me, its not fun at all. Traffic JAM like hell due to the irresponsible malaysians who parked their car in the middle of the road, not to mention the occasional retarded uncles who cross the roads with their eyes closed and hands raised.. Its difficult not to get frustrated..) and we reached Kah May's house and she got into the car and I forgot to lock the car door (lol) and I drove and, and....


We reached Sungei Wang.


Yes, we did reach Sg. Wang at around 1.30pm, but we spent another half an hour looking for a parking space there -.-''..
Due to my unwillingness to park at "illegal" places without a yellow box..
Roger and Kah May "suggested" a lot of "potential" parking spaces, but I knew that I won't have the money to free my car if it happened to get clamped. lol.

So we turn here, turn there, turn here again, only to narrowly miss a lot parking chances - other cars always seem to find the parkings first.
Eventually we became so desperate that, when there's couple who look like they are going to get their car, Kah May went down the car and trailed them.
And Apparently their car was parked some place behind our car - we had to go a big round to reach there..

SO.. FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!

lol I cant believe the way I drove.. We even overtook another car when that car was going over a bumper. I just went through the bumper without even steping on the brake, fearing that the other car will get to "our" parking space before us.
Thank god we succesfully "secured" the parking space (and almost showed the "bluek" face to the other car we overtook just now). haha.

Then, we caught up with Jarret, Kai Li and Kam Wai at Red Box.
We ate and drank and sang there.
Jarret mysteriously disappeared from the karaoke lounge to rendezvous with Kah Yian (his girlfriend, just in case you don't now) for a romantic lunch at Times Square. But he finally regained his senses and rejoined us at around 3pm.

After that, we presented the cake and sang Roger a birthday song in Red Box..
Well.. Since a picture is worth more than a thousand words right..

As I said before, there's many homo sapiens who doesn't know how to handle a simple digital camera.. So I decided to do it myself..
See the difference?
Bloooooowwwww!! XD
Kam Wai - WATCH!!! Roger - CUT!!!! Kai Li - SMS!!!
Well the cake was not bad. XD

ATTENTION: The spacing goes haywire from this point onwards.. I dunno why, I cant fix it, but probably its because of the pictures above.. So.. Good luck and have fun reading!! haha XD

Shortly after devouring the cake (well, half of the cake actually) Kai Li and Kam Wai had to go to tuition. Kah May had to go jogging with.. err.. someone from monash? XD

So, Jarret, Roger and me ran all the way to Times Square, hoping to catch the Game Plan, 4.40pm show.

We finally got our hands on the ticket on 5pm and we asked the person who issued the ticket(we were rushing, in case you havent noticed): "which house?"

The fella: house 3.

We: Phew! It's on this floor - quick!

*hand over the ticket*

Worker: Eh, ini kat tingkat atas la, house sembilan!

We: =.=''

Apparently there's people in this world who can handle a computer(in a painfully slow and inefficient manner) but cannot differentiate 3 from 9.

And worse, there's 3 people in the very same world who go to college but cannot see the big "9" printed on their movie tickets.

LOL!

Anyway, the movie ROCKS!!! XD

After the movie, we lepak-ed around and Kah Yian (a.k.a ah sou), who works there until 7pm, joined us almost immediately after her work.

Then, the four of us went to some restaurant named after some drink named champagne and had our dinner there, along with Kah May, Kai Li and Kam Wai.

The food there was delicious!!

And the best of all *evil*, the bill went to the birthday boy. XD

After dinner, we went to Kah May's house and chat there.. until around 10pm..

Then, I dropped Roger at a bus stop near Mid Valley (the night is still young for him, as he's going to his gf's house *grins*) and continued my journey home.

It was around 11pm when I finally reached my home.

PHEW!

I called it a day as soon as I took my bath and laid my back on my bed.

A loooooooooooong, but fuuuun day.^^

*booooo!! everybody (well.. except kam wai XD ) also "sai meng"!! tahulah got boyfriend/girlfriend!! booo!!!! hahahha.. *

p/s : I heard Roger is going to Genting with his gf, today. lol.

I Know It's My Fault, Okay? I KNOW!

I know!!!
It's not the Quek guy's fault that I did not pass the damn interview.
It's my fault okay!! I was sooo nervous that I performed so badly that I wanna find a hole and hide everytime I think about it.

And now I ended up in twinning programme in IMU.
I'm very, very disappointed with myself honestly.
I'm not saying that the twinning programme is not good (in fact the entry requirement for the programme is higher compared to monash), but now my parents have to take out almost twice as much of the money required for medic in Monash.

I tried to persuade my parents to let me do the local IMU programme or go Manipal instead, I really tried...
But they insisted on their decision of putting me in the twinning programme, keep telling me that don't worry about the fees.
They even planned everything ahead - me going overseas to get my "Dr." and work there for a couple of years.. Then they will send my bro and then my sis along to stay with me and further their studies there.

I know I laid a great financial burden on the family.. I really do..

Although my dad didn't say much, but he's planning to sell our new house (yeah, the house which I told some of you that we would be moving in - years ago).

My mom, on the other hand, keep reminding me about the financial stress - cut down my allowances, pretend she didn't hear a thing when I say I want to buy books, give lecture when my siblings want to go some expensive restaurant for dinner.. I'm not being too sensitive or something okay.. But whatever she do or say, purposely or not, keep reminding me about our financial situation..

My brothers - blame me for the not-moving-to-our-new-house.
Whenever my little bro wants to buy something and my mom says no, he will reply (loud enough for me to hear, purposely I suppose) with " neeh he lo, study need so much money, now I cannot buy this this that that lok".



Although my dad said it's worth it, but nobody ever knew that the guilt I face -especially when I see the increasing amount my parents' of white hairs - is unbearable and it's killing me inside out..

Some people, when they get to know how much it will cost to complete the course, they will say "wow you're damn rich!!" or even laugh at me because they can do medic course at a much lower price..
Little did they know that what they said really had the effect of putting a handful of salt on a wound.. I have learnt my lesson.. and I swear I will not reveal the cost to anyone again..



I know I'm responsible for all this.. And it's all my fault.. Starting from the failure to perform in the Monash interview.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night.. Keep thinking about the situation I'm putting my family through now.. I really really feel very bad and weak, feel that I'm useless..
I tried to open up to some people, but everytime they replied me with "hey, I'm not asleep yet.. Anything ar? ".. I really can't find the right words.. or figure out where to start..

Sigh. At first I don't want to blog about this.. But I figure out that this thing- this feeling- needs a way out, desperately. Hopefully I'll feel better soon. Thanks for reading anyway.

Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

lolz.. this song makes me emo every time! XD
really touching.. listen with your heart!



There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

College.

It's been only like, what, 2 months since my last class in college.. And I'm starting to miss the days I had there.



Well, I gotta admit that my first half of the college life was devoted to CHESS.
Yes. Chess.
Okay okay I know, the voice behind your head must be saying "chess? huh? BORING!".
Everyday, almost every break I had. I spent it by playing chess in the student center.
(Did I mention they have cool wooden chess board there? xD I LOVE the "tak-tak" sound when you move your pieces.. The smooth sensation.. fuhh.. LOL.. )

My usual chess-mates were : --> Gary <-- , Kit Yee, and Lup Lup (sorry.. forgot your full name xP).

I miss the good old times soo much! xD



MAPCU Chess tourney was one of my worst nightmares -.-.
Basically I screwed up all the games I played, even though I knew, deep down inside my heart, I can beat them. Sigh.


The climax was during an inter-course chess games!
When the result was down to one game. The decisive game. My game.
(Okay or you can say its because every other game finished except mine. lol. me. slow-mover >.<'')


There was a three-way tie between MUFY, AUSMAT and ACCA.
MUFY would emerge top if I did not lose that game. Even just a draw would be enough.
Haih. One tiny weak spot costed me the whole game T.T .
But he was really good. lolz.
Oh well.. MUFY got third in the end.. I felt that I let my teamates down -.-. Big time.

The half of the second half of 2007 was kinda hectic, well at least to me.
Ever since Gary went to other place to study.. I was stranded chess-less most of the time. (my other "kaki"s usually have class when I'm having my break.)


Okay.. Back to the hectic part..
Last minute research projects and presentations!


English research project was the worst of all. Spent 1 whole week doing it =.=.
Of course, we were given MONTHS to do so, but oh well.. Lazy me xD.
Chemistry and Physic projects were okay, as we worked in pairs. Spent around 2 days for each project.
Biology. 3 days. Enough said.


They sound easy enough to complete. They really do.
*slot topic test dates between the deadlines*

0.0

x.x

GG.


The last quarter of 2007.

Things were moving slower compared to normal days.
Some sort of calm before the storm. I guess.
Basically its full of daydreaming during breaks.
Sometimes I even buy food just for the sake of spending some time. LOL.
I hate it soo much when everybody took out their expensive handphones and started sms/play games. lol. Tahulah I got no expensive handphones. =.=




The trial and final exam.
Nothing much.. Except went to Pyramid for arcade quite a lot. XD
And and, the exam room for chemistry was a HUMAN FREEZER!!
Theres even water condensed on the metal railings outside the door! =.=

Everybody was soo stressed that their eyebrows almost joined as one! xD
But considering the fact that we're getting quite some holiday after the exam, it was all worth it.
I'm still shaking my leg at home everyday. LOL.






I miss: (they are not arranged in any particular order)

1) Miss Saras, our Chemistry teacher cum friend cum student in disguise cum Mrs Cage.( lol apparently she's a huge fan of Nicholas Cage. Talk about a guy with a fiery face, riding a bike with one hand in the air, holding a chain. xD )

2) Mr. Mustafa. He's cute. I'm not gay okay, but seriously, he's one cute little guy! He doesnt even use handphones! LOL.

3) My daily *high five* with Ann June. (okay.. not daily.. its every single time we meet haha)

4) Calling Nisha a "pumbela purki" (i dont even know how to spell it!! LOL!!!).

5) Going pyramid with Kelvin, Kit Yee and all for ARCADE!!!

6) The sandwiches at Sunway College.

7) The plain nothing-to-do-ness, sitting on the same table as the usual ppl.. You know who you are.. Lazy to put a list.. hahaa..



The lecturers was really nice and they were sincerely concerned about the students.
Mr. Mustafa even talked to me when he know that I did not pass the monash interview T.T.
Ms. Saras tried to get me registered for a second interview at that time!!
Ms Dewika gave us near-boring lectures abt life during almost every class -.-
Ms. Kavitha and Pn Khatijah.. They're nice too!
I really appreciate their effort and care...
Thanks thanks thanks!! ^^

My first class of the day was usually the dreaded PHYSICS.
Starting the day with long, boring lectures doesn't sound tempting. But the class will usually end like, half an hour early, because she wanted us to have our breakfast before our next class xD.

Then its Mathematic A. Okay, Pn K, no offense here, but her teaching speed was somewhat slow (and steady, you can say). This is actually the only class that I usually *almost* fell alseep in.

English - The class which I have no one to make noise with. So, yeah, I'm almost always the quiet ones in the class xD.

Moving on to Chemistry. My favorite class XD. Especially the one lab class every week. Basically chem is the time when we make noise and play! Or gossip with Ms Saras! haha! But when it comes to serious study we'll automatically limit the havoc a little bit. We're good pupil :nod:nod:

Then, Biology! Bio as the last class of the day. Sleepy. Usually its half an hour of teaching, then another half an hour of exercise, then another half an hour of chit-chatting (thats if she didnt let us go early, which she did it in almost every class xP).

If you think the day is over, think again!

It's the time when we would go Pyramid and lepak!

Haha..

Then.. Despite the looooooooooooooooooong drive home -.-

I MISS COLLEGE LIFE! >.<

Happy New Year!!!!

Hehe.. Went to Ken Lee's condo on the last day of 2007.

Me, Darwin, Chong, and Choon Keat.

Sigh. Forgot to bring my camera >.<''

Well at first we planned to watch National Treasure 2 at Times Square, but thanks to me (who came 1.5 hour late xD ) we only arcade-ed there.

The fellowship left Times Square at 1pm and headed for Ken Lee's house (not his condo. the condo is sort of an investment or something).

After kidnapping Ken Lee, we went to play pool, which, sucks because I'm the only one who doesn't know how to play. xP

Thank god we only stayed for 3 rounds.

Next destination : Some cyber cafe near Giant at connaught.

Time: 3pm-6pm

Activities : dota alllllll the way.

Then, the hungry ghosts went to Old Town (because it is the nearest restaurant xD) for their dinner.

Next, next, we shopped at Giant for alcohols and snacks.

Wait.." shop" is not quite the right word, as basically four of us just went in and grabbed all the snacks in sight.

Hey, what happened to another guy? I thought theres 5 of you?

Calling his "honey".

Choon Keat's been doing that ever since we're at Times Square. Talking with the girl for what seemed like eternity, just to stop and layan us for like 5 minutes before continuing.

Luckily his phone battery KO-ed before midnight and he was left call-less until he reached home 24 hours later.

Checklist:

-Snacks (/)

-Alcohol (/)

-Condo Keys (/)

-Poker Cards (/)

-Mahjong (X)

If you know Darwin, you will know that he wont settle without his MAHJONG.

So, we, from Connaught, went allllllllllllllll the way to his relative's house somewhere near Pandan Indah for the 3-person mahjong set.

Spent more than an hour just by doing that.

Pity my petrol. xD

Now we had our mahjong, we came back allllllllllllllll the way to Taman Midah, to Ken Lee's condo.

I really can't believe my own eyes when I set my foot on the unit.

5 rooms.

Crazy space for me to run around, literally.

Breath-taking night view of the whole of Cheras and KL anda hell lot more places beyond these areas which I couldn't name at all.

The only drawback was the tiny, astro-less tv. =.=''

We learnt "the way of mahjong" there and we mastered it within an hour.(only Darwin and Ken Lee know how to play)

Choon Keat is still on the phone with his girl, by the way.

So, if you can do the math, you'll realise that 3 people will be UHU-glued to the mahjong table, leaving the other 2 person with nothing to do except watch.

In this case, 1 person. Me.

Guess what Choon Keat was doing- Bingo.. You got it right.

Time flew and soon the fireworks begin to light up the whole night sky. From the condo, fireworks was visible from all angles. You don't even need to go to KLCC or Bukit Bintang to see the fireworks. You can see them all from the balcony.

We cheers-ed our wine. YUCKS. It was BITTER (at least to me).

Sparkling juice was waaaaay better. xD

After the last of the fireworks died, we (they) resumed playing mahjong.

I was like, "YES your handphone is out of battery wakakaakaa", and I forced Choon Keat to play chess with me xP

Alcohol + Chess = KO

1++am - Choon Keat - First to be KO-ed.

We took turns to play mahjong, and soon Darwin was half-drunk - his whole face and body was red in color.

If that wasn't enough, he started talking about a particular girl for like, every 10 minutes.

*Playing mahjong*

Darwin : eh seriously la, she's a very nice girl.

We : =.=''

Soon enough, he joined Choon Keat.

3am - Darwin - KO

We slept at 4am.

In the dark,

Me: " eh Ken Lee, just now darwin said his left arm like cramp ad. You reckon he'll kena heart attack or stroke or something in his sleep?"

*Ken Lee rose, tip-toed to darwin, used his fingers to check Darwin's breathing*

Ken Lee: " Nope. He's alive."

We LOL-ed.

1st day of 2008

We woke up at 9 something, except Ken Lee, who slept all the way until 2.30pm =.='' .Darwin, Chong and Choon Keat played mahjong and gambled from the moment they woke up until 3pm. -.-

I was BORED. And hungry too. 3pm --> sent Chong back to his house at Maluri, then Ken Lee all the way back to Connaught.

The worst part is, my car's air-con got KO-ed too. So, the driving experience was HORRIBLE and CO2- packed.

Then, me, Darwin and Choon Keat went to Leisure Mall for National Treasure 2.

Finally!

Our first meal that day. McD at 4pm. @.@

The movie was AWESOME and it finished at 7.15pm.

Sent the 2 fella back to their nests, all the way at pandan indah. (my house was the exact opposite way =.=)

PHEW! Reached home at last. 9pm.

Conclusion : Driving sucks. Driving w/o air-con SUCKS. XD
