MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I celebrated my Christmas eve with my course-mates in Singapore... I must say it's the MOST EXHAUSTING Christmas countdown I've ever had.... All we did was wander around in Orchard Road, watching people play, getting sprayed and stay overnight at the street.....

Of course, the place was crowded and there were people playing with sprays... BUT I still find it less exciting compared to that in KL coz there were soooo many policemen around controlling the crowd.... We couldn't find sprays until the countdown was over.... And I think it would be better to find a place to countdown rather than just wandering around the street...

************
By the way, I'm not gona talk much bout Christmas in this entry coz I spent the whole day sleeping in my room.... And I'm still feeling tired, sleepy and blur....

Well.... Wanted to post this up since a long time ago.... As I've mentioned earlier on, Caryn, Junne, MeiFern, YiXuan and MeiSan went back to Kuching with me during my last semester break.

This is actually a kind of challenge to me cause I have to think of where to bring them to, how to get to some places and managing this group of noisy "orang utans" with different ideas can be a little bit of headache too.... XD


Brought them to Jong's Crocodile Farm... It was my first visit there too... So I had Teng, Oli and Jacq to guide us there... After that, we went to Pitcher Plant and Orchid Farm....
Entrance Fee:
Jong's Crocodile Farm ~ RM10/person
Pitcher Plant and Orchid Farm ~ RM2/person

And later after that, the boys brought us to Semmengoh to visit the orang utans' hairy ancestors.....
Entrance fee ~ RM1.50/person

This group of "orang utans" were soooo damn excited about Jalan Song.... If you look properly at the photo above.... You'll find 3 wild "orang utans" from Semenanjung...

And I never find these interesting until the day I went to Taman Sahabat with "orang utans" from around Malaysia....

We had one very funny incident just to get this photo taken... Which I think you have to be there to know how odd it was, the way MeiFern asked some guy to take group photo for us.

One thing you must remember when you have friends who come to visit Kuching.... Bring them to this white cat and take a few picture....

Entrance Fee: RM5
Boat ride: RM18 for 2-way(if I'm not mistaken)
The trip to Bako was one of my favourite... NO.... It has always been my favourite... But on that day I went with these "orang utans" the boat ride was thrilling.... Why?

Coz the tide was really really really low and when we reach the estuary, there were lots of wave coming in our way.... and we can feel the engine of the the boat hitting the ground under the water....

Brought them to the Cat Museum.....

We visited the Sarawak Cultural Village(SCV) too.... I must say it is one very worthwhile visit...
Entrance Fee:
RM15/person(if I'm not mistaken, ONLY local students & Sarawakian)
RM 60.00/person (Adult)
RM 30.00/person (6-12 years old)
FREE for children aged below 6.

Although it's my second visit since primary6, I still find it interesting....

The stage performance alone is interesting to me.... These are my favorite performers.... =) The guy at the center is CUTExX!!

And we stayed over at Damai Beach....

These "orang utans" got very addicted to the kolo mee and Tea C' Peng in Chong Choon... They've been asking me to bring them there since the day i brought them there for breakfast....

And tomato mee/kueh tiaw is one thing you cannot really find in Semenanjung... And some of these "orang utans" kept asking for tomato kueh tiaw untill YiXuan and I got sick of it...

When these "orang utans" get tired and refuse to move, it can be a real headache... O.o

The night MeiFern and Junne went back to their hometown... Things get bored after that coz the rest of the "orang utans" has got no mates to fill in with the crap talk....



That will be all for now... Need to get some sleep....

Again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! =)

My "TangYuan" Day

This is how I celebrated my "TangYuan" Day.... Me and my fellow hostel-mates wrapped our own TangYuan... We collected all sorts of ingredient like nuts, chocs and raisins for the filling....

Eating the "TangYuan" alone is one interesting thing.... You'll always eager to get your favourite filling... We made very little raisins and peanut.... So, everyone keep on eating and eating just to try every filling we've made....

AiChew later came in bringing another container of TangYuan for us.... And these were made by her and the boys... And having the 2nd-3rd serving of TangYuan in one night is enough to make me full till the noon in the next day...


On the unrelated topic.....

It's a little surprise from my junior.... Xmas gift.... Really sweet girl.... And I dont remember being a good senior to her... XP

And this!!! Is what you can find in UMALL's Giant.... and written on the sign "KELUAR/OUT"... Yea, baby!! They're inviting everyone to do some stunt here....

19th National Lasallian Leaders' Convention

I'm finally back here again.... Had quite a packed schedule over the holiday....

First week back... Caryn, Junne, YiXuan, MeiSan and MeiFern followed me back... So, brought them around Kuching...

Second and third week... Constantly going out with family, Pigz and the Zillas....

Fourth week... Left Kuching and headed to Ipoh for the 19NLLC!! WAHOOO!!


And the theme of the year is..... Catalyst for Change... And before I continue... I would like to give some credit to Pn. Dewi and Brendan Lee for the photos.... =)

And this year happen to be the 20th year of the Lasallian movement in Malaysia and Singapore(I think).... By the way, that's me and Sara helping out WaiSeng with registration for the 20YAC dinner and sambil-sambil sell our 20YAC tshirt which we were wearing in the photo... =D

And here we are... The Josephians in green... Taken @ La Salle Centre, Ipoh... Gerard went missing though....

Wished I could join as a delegate at first... But I enjoyed just as much being an OT... It felt like a whole new experience with new friends and the sessions & workshops & solidarity(which is really NEW to me) & games & food were all great...

The 20YAC dinner is another interesting event to me... There, we had quite a lot of the "old" Lasallians joining us with the celebration and you get to see all those old friends meeting up "hi"-ing and hugging here and there....

But what's most important to me is... The Lasallian spirit in me has been lighted up once again.... It's been a while since the 3rd Regional Lasallian Convention(Hands for Change)... I have to admit that it does fade a bit with sooo much of twisting and turning point in my life... Like leaving school life & work & meeting new people & learning how to be a promoter & resigned & worked for my parents & learning to blend in with their workers & then left my hometown all the way to Johore to further my study & meeting new people again & constantly travelling around & meeting new people again and again...

On my first encounter with this Lasallian movement, I've realised just how much I've done and what I could have done... I've told myself then, that "If I don't take the first step to change, things will stay the same... If no one have ever make the change, then let me be the one who make the change..."

I also got my first chance to visit the children cancer ward and orphanage and I'm glad because that's when I realised I'm one very very very lucky person.... I'm healthy and I'm loved...

I've chatted with Linus Chung, the director of a short film title "House" during the 19NLLC and he shared with me a little bout his point of view about life... It was really inspiring....

What he said was that there's no particular fixed time to do what we want to do... For example, going on a vacation... We do not have to wait until we're retired and childrens have grown up to go on a vacation...

It's true.... Coz I think by then, we'll be too old to enjoy the fun of it... We get tired easily... We dont see things the same as we did when we're younger.... Dont tell me you still enjoy bungee jump or scuba diving or sky diving when you're old and retired....

He also find it unnecessary to plan thing ways tooo far in the future... because we wont know how long we will live.... and things change.... Things doesn't always go the way we want them to be... I think he's right about that... Just like what Caryn Woo had always shared with me.

Pn. Dewi(in the last photo above) who's a teacher from my school(St.Jo) also shared some of her experience on the night I stayed in KL before coming back to Johore... She told me that she taught English to some of the poorer(in their studies) class in the school... And when she find her students having problem with English, she took the effort to stay back in the evening to give extra classes to her student(remind me sooo much of Pn June and other teachers)... Some of these students manage to make a big improvement while some did not... Those that did improved, paid extra hardwork to learn English... The rest just couldn't be bothered by her effort. But she said she's happy not just because her students say thanks to her in the end... but it's that she manage to help them and change them...

What I think is that, Pn. Dewi is like the person who make the change by giving her students extra classes and then it's all up to them to continue what she's doing... If they do take the effort to do it, then hers and their effort would pay off well...

WELL WELL....

After a 4-week-holiday filled with sooo much life... I felt weird again when I arrived in UTM.... It's not that I dont enjoy it here... I do love my friends here who are almost like my siblings.... But that's just the way it is, I guess....

Will be back with more photos I've taken over the holiday.... Especially the photos of my CUTESIE little cuzzie, Olivia.... She'll be 8-to-9-month old when I go back for CNY!!

I MISS HER!!

Anyway..... I guess some of you have already came across this video coz it has been posted since early 2006.... AND not to forget, it's a fake trailer....

My super EXTREMELY "SMART" brother, Nicky Tay Min Yang came and told me of the trailer few days ago. And I told him, "Here you go, bullshitting again... You thought this is the first day I know you??"...

And we had a bet....

If the movie and trailer is REAL... I will have to treat him a doughnut from BigApple... Well, no harm ryt? Since it's a doughnut...

IF they're fake..... He will have to treat me a drink from Starbucks.... Well, he was soooooo damn confident that the trailer is REAL.... that the chances of losing is ZERO.

Just a while ago, he finally manage to find the video for me ONLY to find out, it was a FAKE trailer!!!

Cheers to Starbucks!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

First Experience with 3Ds Max

I've just finished my Fundamental of Computer Graphic Final Project and it's such a GREAT relief... With no more burden, I'm right now extremely FREE to do anything I wan!!! WAHOOOO!!!

Anyway, had kind of a good time doing the final project. Though I did not modify my own coding and DID NOT get a very good mark, but that's alright with me.

I spent more of my time instead in modeling the display object(mine was a house with watermill) which apparently is not the main point of the project(where we're supposed to build a simple 3Ds Max tool). WAHAHAHAHAHA!! I first laid my hand on this 3Ds MAX tool which I think is the MOST complicated and full-of-function graphic tool I've ever used in my entire 21years living on earth.

But this was my favourite part of the whole project!!

Front-view of the house.

Back-view of the house

Close-up view of the front

See the spiral staircase?? I LOVE IT!!

Stair to the house's main entrance. Notice the light next to the door?? Had a hard time modelling it coz it's darn SMALL! And and, notice the semi-trasparent stair railing?? Was sooooo excited when I found out I can make it look like glass....

The watermill which when applied into the coding, I can spin it!!

And lastly, the main product.... OK, I just simply mapped the background(the mountain view and the sky) coz I ran out of time. But I must say that the windows, stairs and doors were not very well matched coz I just simply mapped them with whatever I found...

Would like to thank the the boys (especially MingLi, HockSiong and ChuJie) for the coding and Caryn for helping me sooooo much during the presentation day and MingChoo and JieYing who helped me to make my watermill spin in the right place. And lastly, to MeiFern for lending me her laptop in the last few days to finish my assignment!! Lovie her cute little laptop!! It's a Dell Studio 1555, purple coloured!!

To the people in Kuching, if you miss me, then plan an outing for me!! wahahaha!! Will be back this Friday evening and 5 friends are coming back with me and they will be staying for a week... And to the pigz who spammed my tagboard, just wait till I go back!! waahahahahahaha!!

Sem3 Final Exam Season

I've just gone through the Final Exam Season.... It has been kinda torturing coz going online has been difficult for us... And now I'm back and found my little tag board on the leftright being spammed by dono which wooliao pigz... hahahaa!! that just brought me back to those time in St3...

I'm not exactly free yet. Have graphic assignments and project presentation coming up in 3 more days.

Went to uni's library to search for assignment sources and saw this. If you find this outside the lift, what would u do, say if you're at level5 and wana go to level3?? Which button do you press??

What I did during one of the time I went to library was, I went and pressed one of the numbered buttons. And got pissed coz nothing happen after I pressed it... I pressed it again and again not realizing what was wrong until my friend pointed out that I only have to press the up or down button. jeez~

And so, our exam period have been very packed... 6papers + 1 online exam in one and a half week... I think our hormone were very much affected by it...

When revision got stressful causing some damage to our brain....

When hormone became unbalanced, we took a stroll around the campus at midnight...

The misty night... UTM feels almost like Genting at around 2-5am...

Another sickness that hit KDSE level3.... Zuma the Revenge... I got exhausted after some revision one evening and decided to visit my next door neighbours.

I found Caryn playing with Zuma....

Turned to look at her roommate, playing Zuma too... What's even more amazing is, she played this using touch pad!!

Went to Junne's room and found JY playing Zuma too!!

And no doubt, Junne was stuck to Zuma too....

And finally, we treated ourself to a dinner in elMIGOS at Sutera Mall after our last paper....

Bought myself my very first pair of artificial nails.... wahahaha!! I had quite some fun playing around with it and used it for the outing yesterday... And... i've lost two of them coz I only used UHU glue to glue them to my own nails XD~ Anyway am planning to get more of them....

Art of FISH

Even fish goes to jail...

Fishes having meal...

Fishes in Operation Room...

Fishes quarelling in kitchen...

Fishes having Japanese meal...

Fishes drinking at the bar...

Fish fishing...


How amazing isn't it??

But the truth to these amazing pieces of art is, those are DEAD fishes....

Jamuans in UTM

WHAO!! Feels like I haven't been here for ages.... I've had hard time going online in the past few days... Nothing much happen though... Can say it's been a teeny little bit boring. But at least, I can enjoy a little bit of peaceful life.... haha~ Which is boring.... Anyway anyway....
Was invited to attend Miss Zuraifah's wedding ceremony. I must say it's the most classy Malay Wedding I've ever attended. =) And the bride herself is soooo BEAUTIFUL!!

Me and para coursemates sekalian...

A little gift from the event...

And we finally had our Social Etiquette Evaluation Dinner.... Which was held last Thursday at Dewan Jamuan UTM...

All I can say about the dinner is, you really have to pay extra attention on your attire and the way you eat and behave during the dinner. What's funny was, when the MC(my section's instructor) said the evaluation session is over, everyone started to loosen up and behave as usual...

Other than that, there will be a Hari Raya Jamuan tomorrow....

Study week has started and I'm a REAL BLUR!! Adapavi(Indian version of OMG which I learned from Kartiq)!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

DAMN the UTM's Jabatan Keselamatan who saman-ed me and my friends for not displaying the uni's sticker on the car's windscreen. And as usual, stated on the saman slip is we have to pay the fine in 14days. FINE.... I went all the way to the HEP building to pay the saman on the SECOND working day. Queued for 30mins++ and the person at the counter told me the saman has not been keyed-in to the database yet. Which mean, I cannot pay the fine yet. Damn those MFs.... GRRRRRRR!

That will be all...
