New collection

As i step home from a 1 hour journey on car from serdang, i saw this beauty posing in my brother's room.

Introducing Blackout!!

Changes

Fellow readers!! A few add-ons have been included into http://huargh-pooit.blogspot.com to provide more information about the author himself! :D

Yours Truly is now ready to take one step further into the world of blogging. Yes he's still sticks to himself and will never involve in controversial discussions especially the politics!

For he understands naught the workings behind the curtains!

Owned

I've just finished my exams, and to be honest, I was literally pawned by the exam questions.

3 tests in a row for 3 days, now that ain't good for my beauty sleep. I already have pimples popping out on my forehead!! :(

I can imagine the horrors I would face once my mid term break is over. As I trod reluctantly into the classes, there I would face judgement.

Whether I will fail miserably, or just barely survive the First Test predicament, It's up to the Lecturers themselves to decide. I am sincerely hoping for the latter. My parents are already disappointed when I told them I'm owned by the papers.

Just imagine the 3 lecturers gathering in a mamak stall, congratulating one another for a job well done for taking down students who dont' pay attention in their classes through their test.

My future is in your hands Associate Professors!! I beg thee, I shall pay attention in class! I swear to myself that I won't do anything severe behind your back! ><

Though the voice imitation can never be stopped. It's just too amusing.

I still can't believe that the mid term break starts tomorrow! How time flies!! It won't be long though before the finals loom. :(

Anyone wanna hear Pakistani imitation? Just find me on MSN :p

The Awaited Irish Post (Part 1)

I know this post should have come up at least 2 months ago, which is the exact date when I just came back from Dublin, Ireland. I would say that everyone who has been eager to hear from me what Dublin is all about, have given up on me. I have only myself to blame for that.

In this entry, I'm gonna review what I think about Dublin City, Ireland. Any specific trips would be highlighted here briefly and be posted separately in future. So there will be more posts regarding the trip to Ireland. :)

Welcome to the land of leprechauns - Ireland!

I must once again highlight as I did 2 and half months ago that this trip is not a touring around trip for me. The main purpose of this trip to Dublin is to, along with my mum, help my sister, who got a job in Dublin, settle down and get used to the new environment in a foreign country.

To simplify the matter, my expenses are covered by FAMA loan, and we don't have to spend a single cent on our accomodation (Sis's company PWC provided that for our first month stay). Talk about being lucky! Basically, all of our expenses goes to grocery shopping, souvenir shopping, and touring around. :)

Upon arrival, it was raining at casual pace. Drat! For those who doesn't know why am I making such a fuss, it's a freaking Summer!! According to my sis, she said that in Ireland, it rains 300 days in a year. So we are left with 65 days of pure sunlight.

We were greeted by PWC's man who's in charge of bringing us to the apartment arranged by the company for my sister to stay in. He is rather friendly and helpful, and filled us up with local cultures and places to look for during our stay. It is from there that our dialect is no doubt Asian! One can't speak like them unless you talk to them for like around a month or so, then only you can pick up their slang! Fortunately, he understood our slang so it's not a big deal.

He also mentioned about the weather, stating that...

"The weather here is unpredicatable, just like women!"

He advised us to bring along an umbrella whenever we go out, just in case.

The outside view of the apartment we stayed in.

Well, touring around is not the major spending in this trip though. Most of the time is spent inside the city!

Despite that, there are quite a numerical tourist attraction can be found inside the city! I could highlight a few of these places. (just because I have the pictures!)

River Liffey

The River Liffey is like erm, Sungai Klang, but definitely 1000 times cleaner and more beautiful! It separates the Dublin City into two regions, which are Northern Dublin and Southern Dublin. Northern Dublin is considered the downtown whilst the Southern Dublin is the uptown, where rich people and ambassadors of various countries rule the area! Oddly enough, our apartment is situated in Southern Dublin. Hrmm...

River Liffey is the heart of Dublin City. It connects the two regions with pedestrian bridges for both pedestrians and automobiles. It is common to see people in office suits walking across the bridge every morning, no matter rain or shine.

The Spire

What on earth is that? is my first impression towards the tall metal tube that goes skyward. According to the locals, the main purpose is a giant antenna for telco's. It's not actually a tourist centre, but plunging one metal pole in the middle of the city, and you won't get lost with it as your landmark!

St Stephen's Green Entrance (yeah that's my sis lol)

There are quite a lot of parks in the city. With the buildings insight wherever you look at, it's good to have a look on the greens. St. Stephen's Green is one of the largest park in the city. People would enjoy strolling along the path, some having their meals, and even have picnic on the lawn. Even some would have their afternoon nap on the lawn under the sun even with the amount of people around. I suppose it's a norm for them, especially if the weather's glorious. To them, the sun is a blessing, whereas for us in Malaysia, the less sun we get the better!

During summer, temperature's at average of 16°C, and goes down to 10°C at night without considering any rain. Not the type of summer one would expect aye?

There are other places that one mustn't miss. One of them would be the Guinness Storehouse. Yeap, Guinness is Irish! Which I would blog about it in the next post. There's the Dublin Zoo as well which we didn't visit at all.

With mum around, our breakfast and dinner is served at home. Buying groceries and cooking by ownself is always cheaper than dining out, considering the price one has to pay per meal, not forgetting the conversion rate of RM4.67 for 1 euro dollar as well. Even for the locals, dining out is considered a luxury. It's proven, cos if one dines out, you would tend to eat the most delicious meal available on the menu. That would cost around 8 euros at least. The good news is that it comes in set with side orders and drinks, and the most important aspect, you would be darn full after consuming it.

Ireland has Tesco!!!!!!

Shopping is made easy as we walk around the city for one whole day. Walking is the simplest means of transportation, and that's where you made the most observations. Jervis Street and Grafton Street is the shopping haven for the locals and the tourists as well. It's like Orchard Road in Singapore, where rows of shops are filled with branded shops as well as shopping malls that one wouldn't know it existed at the corner end!

Graffton Street in a rainy afternoon

The food one should look out for while in Ireland is the traditional Irish Stew. Mutton lovers would love this especially as chunks of mutton meat is served in stew garnished with aromatic herbs, served with 2 scoops of mashed potatoes and generous portion of carrots and brocollis (glances at FC ^^) Apart from that, shepherd's pie is a must try in this country! Compared to Secret Recipe's, this one is above of its own class~!

Now I wished I didn't mention them. I'm missing these food~~! T_T

I guess that my post for now is very long. I would cover more about Ireland in the next entry.

See what rain can do to the River Liffey.

Depressing weather eh? That's what we all face in this short 3 weeks' time!

Same applies to One who's facing 3 tests in a row beginning this Wednesday till Friday.

Heroes in Singapore

*Using telepathic mind powers to send instant messages*

Greetings, fellow human beings. I'm now sending an important message by using telephatic powers into your mind so that none of the contents go missing. No, I'm NOT Professor Xavier from X-Men. Nor was your brain hearing things. I'm talking inside your head now, as I speak.

Bangun-lah!! You think you what? Heroes ah??!

Hah! How I wish I could have one of their extraordinary abilities...

Just so you know, Heroes casts is on a World Tour and 4 of them (Ali Larter, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka and Sendhil Ramamurthy) are coming down to Singapore on the 31st August for a meet and greet session with the fans. It would be held at Singapore's newest and largest mall, VivoCity, Centre Court.

In conjunction with this event, Nokia and STAR WORLD are running a regional competition offering a few lucky fans the chance to win Nokia's versatile N95 phone and a flight to Singapore to have ONE-on-ONE session and front seats when the stars appear!

Just imagine Masi Oka comes on stage and greets everyone with his Hiro Nakamura line:

HAROOOOOOOOO SINGAPORE~~!!!!

That should be a blast!!

To enter the contest, simply log on to www.startv.com/heroescontest and follow on-screen instructions and answer a few simple questions. This contest runs from 1-19 Aug. Winners will be notified on 24 Aug. So remember the date!

By the way, Channel [V] VJs Joey G, Sarah Tan, Marion Caunter and the latest addition Guest Presenter Nicholas Saputra will be there hosting the event. Games and free gifts are expected wherever they go! For the fans, it's like killing two birds with one stone!!

It would be nice for the Heroes cast to drop by Malaysia as well to celebrate Malaysia's 50th independence together with the locals!!

More Fillers

For the past 2 weeks, whenever I logged in, I would stare at this empty space, I would think to myself...

What am I gonna blog about this time?

Staring it for more than 5 minute, still nothing comes out. Eventually minutes turn to hours, and hours to days, and days to weeks. Fortunately, not weeks to months.

Cos this is where I came in (finally!! by annoyed readers)

But... It's not gonna be about Dublin, for I am not fully prepared yet! Paiseh!!

It's just gonna be another filler episode, so if you are not interested already...? Just find the X button.

It's about the new system Uniten is implementing now. From now onwards our students ID card is now embedded with a SMARTchip. So now whenever we want to use the computer lab, we have to swipe our ID on the card reader to gain access into the building.

Sounds neat eh? There's every hint of yeng'ness in it!!

Don't you think that most private institutes have already implemented that techonology for quite some time ago? And now only Uniten started to use this technology. Marvelous! And we are quite reputable for producing Engineering students see?

Tak masuk akal langsung!

With the SMARTID, Uniten is now finding every single part of the faculty that has all the reason to put up the card reader, so that the students would carry their ID cards at all times wherever they go. This is a plus point. Usually students don't bother with the ID cards because it doesn't do anything significant except to show that they are Uniten students, and to borrow library books!

Now, Uniten thinks that security inside is sorta poor, so they have to know who's coming into the Uniten territory is their students or not. Thus...

They put the card reader at the main entrance of Uniten.

Brilliant piece of work...

In their minds, the situation would go like this, students drive car in, stop at the main entrance, takes out his/her ID card, swipes at the card reader *tit tit*, the tiang palang would go up, and the students would rev in with 2 bumps greeting simultaneously!

Sounds like a plan? yes?

NO!!!

This plan has one major drawback : it would create a major traffic havoc while every student and lecturer wants to drive into Uniten. Who knows, the queue might lead up to the Silk Highway, which is definitely not good for other motorists. Plus we've all heard how bad the jam is on the Silk Highway every morning, so it would make matters worse!

Till now, the palang tiang is wide open, and security guards are still roaming around like they are used to to check the motorists that's entering Uniten. Seems that they've realised the plan has backfired after all! XD~

After 1 month in Uniten, I've sustained a right wrist injury from basketball, ter'missed' one quiz because it's raining blardy heavily and I can't get out to my car, spotted a few lui's in Uniten (which I didn't approach XD) and the most important of all.. QUITTED DOTA!

See what staying outside campus has done to me! XD~

The First 2 Weeks

My 3rd year began 2 weeks ago. I have set sights upon 3 lecturers, which I have a very nerve-wrecking session whenever I enter their classes.

Hailed from Pakistan / Bangladesh / India, whichever the country they are from, they share the same similiar passion within them : To teach us students how to die in their subjects respectively~!!!!

Take Dr. Bashir, the machine design lecturer. He is knowledgable, that is very good. He provides us his own notes. Very good. The only problem is that he lacks the ability to convey his knowledge into erm... sentences. He stutters alot, which is quite irritating in my opinion. A great lecturer hampered by his disability to express his thoughts. Self reading is the only solution to get away from this subject unscathed.

Sigh~~

Then the next candidate would be Dr. Shahida Begum. She who taught Materials 2 years ago, are reunited once again in Engineering Measurements. Her command in English is good, but her accent makes it hard for us to catch whatever she's saying. So another subject going down the drain.

Sigh~~

The final candidate (and obviously the greatest among all) is none other than Dr. Farrukh Nagi aka Fagi. Modeling & Dynamics System lecturer. Good command in speaking. Brimming with confidence, he begins lecturing us about analysing the springs, dampers loaded onto the mass and how the physics law works on it.

He's teaching the basics. Most students aren't paying attention.
He's beginning to feel dulan.
OK IT'S TIME FOR QUIZ!!
What the?!!
Yeah when I caught you guys not paying attention, this is when I shall strike!!
-.-"
It's only the first week!!!

Things got worse after that...

He's drawing a particular diagram, explaining about the importance of the direction the forces are acting on.
He got the direction the other way round.
He didn't realise it. So did we ( we still dunno what he is teaching about )
One student did realise it. He raised his arm.
Sir I think it's the other way round.
Noo Noo you aren't knowledgable enough to understand what I'm doing now!
-.-"

A few days later...

He redrew the same diagram, this time with the force direction applied to the correct direction!!
Sir, what happened the other day?
Now don't you remember the previous lesson, you should follow and change in accordance!
-.-"

How to survive in this subject with such sohai lecturer??!

Other subjects are ok. But I smell death coming too soon for this semester. Too soon...

*****

On a side note, housewarming party is as successful as it could be! With all the things well prepared at the last moment, things could not have gotten worse, could it?

Well it did!!

First of all, the amount of people attended exceeded expectation.
With that, more trouble loomed.
Makanan tak cukup.
Minuman - logistic timing tak ngam.
Some people even go for 2-3 rounds (one even dared 7 rounds)
Basically, the food is not enough!!

But still, not many people are complaining, so what the heck! It's fun to have a housewarming. But enough stress conjured within those days...

Tiba masa untuk tidur.

Reporting from home, Klang!

Revived

OMG! I didn't realise that I've abandon this blog for almost a month (2 weeks short nia~~) and I've yet to blog about my trip in Ireland!

Before the Ireland stuff, it's time to let readers (if there's still any left after my lacksture of updating) know what have I been doing for the past 2 weeks after the updates on Dragonforce...

It's better if I just list them out right here instead of elaborating further:

- I'm staying outside of Uniten Campus, along with my housemates Alwin, Tai Soon, Eugene and Tai Leong, we are currently building our hideout in Taman Desa Serdang.

- Streamyx and phone line is still in the process of pasang'ing so do not expect to see us coming online on weekdays... Unless we go to Uniten's Comp Lab to log in!

- I'm currently driving my sis's car to Uniten. Since my sis is currently working in Ireland, why not I use?? But I have to bear the petrol cost and maintenance fees of course.

- Seeing the probability of becoming broke in less than a month, I've decided to help my cousin in his handphone shop on weekends to earn abit of pocket money thus helping to cover some of my expenses as life progresses in Uniten.

- Most important of all, my hols has ended. Time to get serious in studies once more.

Lots of words, no pics.. bosan betul... yadayadayada...

I'm blogging from my bro's comp at home, so I do not have the pics required to post it up.

There will be a House Warming Party this coming Tuesday. With BBQ involved... So excited! Can't wait for that day!! xD

Seriously, I better blog more often... -.-

Singapore Touring and Dragonforce Concert

Immediately after the Redang Trip... I was on another trip, but this time, it was heading down south to the land where kiasu-ism was rumoured to be originated - Singapore!

Staying in my cousin's place, I won't show the pics of his house. Kena respect privacy mah...

However, I should show his little daughter though! Quite an attractive star! xD

isn't she adorable??!

Her name's Grace and she's only 1 year old ++

My sis and I Just have to get a picture with her!!

Hrrm, my bro and tai sou seems eager to have one anytime soon *hint**hint*

After jalan-jalan at Suntec City (which I have no intention to show the pics!!), my cousin Chee Lip has bought us tickets to join Singapore's latest tourist attraction.. Behold!!

Singapore Ducktour!

Built on a war machine that once served in the vietnam wars, this ingenious truck can travel both on land and water!! Though it's never been thought as a future commercial exploitations!!

The largest floating stage in Asia (I think?)

The microphone-shaped building which is actually the place for live stage performances.

Cool design on the building!

Paying homage to Singapore - The lion!

Singapore's future pat toh spot! 36 minutes to complete one revolution according to the tourist guide onboard.

Group photo from left: Chee Lip, Grace, Chee Lip's wife, Dai Sou, Bro, Me and My Sis

with the Duck Boat behind.

There, the duck tour trip has informed me of the latest tourist attraction as well as the latest developments such as the New Financial Area and the famed Casino. The 1 hour ride cost $33 each! hampeh betul...

Of course, the main reason to go all the way down to Singapore is.....

Dragonforce is performing!!! Live from D'Marquee Downtown East!!

They are the ones who started the genre power metal - extremely fast guitar shreddings with melody tunes from both guitarists and keyboardist. Their songs do not varied much, for they include familiar words such as fire and flames, mountains and seas, warriors and fallen.. well you get my point. But each song has its unique way of protraying those words used above! haha! listen to them yourself!

Dragonforce in action!!

Herman and Sam doing what they do best - Twin Blast!

The siao keyboardist Vadim

Ready to rock the crowd!

Songs played included Fury of the Storm, Operation Ground and Pound, Soldiers of Wasteland, My Spirit Will Go On, Through the Fire and the Flames and others which I have not listened to yet!

I even got lucky when the vocalist ZP Theart spotted me at the back of the crowd as he was tossing water bottles to the crowd. Grabbing a water bottle, he judged the distance and threw it perfectly towards my outstretched arm!! A souvenir from DragonforcE!!!! what luck!!! Though the water bottle is a proud product of Carrefour... -.-"

As they finished perform Through the Fire and the Flames, they bid their farewells and walked behind the curtains. Shouts of encore was soon heard in the whole arena, getting louder and louder with each second! Finally they reappeared, welcomed by the fans with a long applause, and they performed their old classic - Valley of the Damned!!! What a great end to the concert!!

The concert lasted for 2 hours, but what a great experience I've had! After leaving the arena, my ears were still buzzing for more than half an hour. We headed back Malaysia after picking up my Sis and dai sou from the apartment.

I'm eager for another Heavy Metal concert! Such passionate atmosphere! It felt so great just to be a part of it!!!

Belated Pulau Redang Entry

First of all, my apologies for neglecting this little webspace provided, and to the readers out there... (there are a few that's keep bugging me to update! Thx for the motivation!)

There! Enough apologies.. Let's begin where I left off one month ago...

As some of you know, I've been away to Redang with Mao and his gf's friends for 3 days during May. Instead of pointing about how Redang looks like, what happened in that 3 days time.. I should show you fellow readers how Redang looks like! And abit of description of what really happened there...

This pic is taken while the bus stopped at Gambang Timur Rest Area. As you can see there are several other buses assembled here. Yeap.. all heading towarsd the east coast! Who can survive the 8-hour journey to Kuala Terengganu without taking a leak?

OMG!! We are here!! We are here!! We are here!!!!!! No doubt, better than the west sides.

White sandy beaches! Clear blue sky! Splashing of the waves! It's so damn serene!!!


I can't wait for evening to come by so I can snooze on one of these chairs... so tempting~~
There's hammock on the inside though as an alternative...

With the sea breeze, warm sun basking overhead and a book to read (that never lasted 10 pages), it's just too easy to fall asleep!!


From Movie Scenes, commercialised for better profit gains... The Gift Shop!



A lovebite from one of the fish as we go snorkeling in the Marine Park. Useless fish with monoscopic view can't even judge where I'm holding the bread! Definitely not on the palm lah!!! @#$!$@



Beautiful sunrise... Looks like a sunset though.

3rd and final day came, too soon... too soon. We all left Redang half-heartedly... chao tar'ed to the core... it's just too bad... We have to return to our own lifestyle back here...

With 4 hours to go, we decided to explore the China streets! And we stumbled upon a shop that serves good food... as well as tasty colourful healthy drinks!


I am just too indecisive to start on which, so I decided to drink em up together!!!
The aunty who made the drink was so kind, that she gave us discounts from the initial price!

And we left Terengganu~! Heading back towards home... butt got slimmer cos of another 8 hour journey on the road! T_T

And now to introduce the casts in this trip...

Me and Mao, pretending to love the plants! God knows why...


And his gf's friends.. from left: Hong Leng, Peik Chin, Pei Yee, Choy Meng, & Pei Sze

Jotomate...

Mana Mao's GF???!!!!!!!!!

She.... is forced to ffk everyone at the last minute after something that is not suppose to happen happened back then. Very unfortunate for her, cos she can't be as chao tar as I am now!

Hope there will be another trip to the island... next one would be Perhentian I hope!

Road to Ireland

Yours Truly is embarking on a journey to the Republic of Ireland to assist his sister to settle down in the land where Guiness rules the beverages instead of sky juice, and English Breakfast to replace the usual Malaysian breakfast...

For 3 weeks I won't be around in Malaysia. Instead I might be able to make friends with the locals, understanding their culture and hoping to get a few pints and get jolly with them. Hopefully I can withstand the alcohol effects without polluting the streets with my undigested dinner. Yuck.

Hopefully, the trip to Singapore and Redang would still be etched in his memory, and please bug him to share a tale or two once he returns from the land far far away in Europe!

Ok.. time to go!! Beg me for those who desires souvenirs! muaahahahahah!!

Paint balls

Now I understand how susah our Malayan soldiers have defended for the country, people and Rubber Trees from the Japanese invasion during World War 2.

Scale down the number of soldiers involved on both sides, the amount of ammunition and the size of the battlefield...

Maintain the adrenaline rush in each faction, guerilla warfare action....

Plus a few neutrals known as Marshalls who just seem to know who's been hit and who's not even though they are standing nowhere near the victim at all!

Welcome to the world of Paintball!!

Joining Fang Chin, Mao, Quek and their Nottingham colleagues in this testosterone-driven sport, it sure has proven to be one of the most entertaining moments in my life!

Hearing the CO2 compressed guns release pellets after pellets, while hitting the trees or nothing most of the time seems comforting, having the pellets hitting the barricade right where you are hiding is indeed, nerve wrecking. Mind you, these mini pellets are deadly fast and aren't pleasing on the eyes, as it causes blindness according to the Marshall on duty. I believed him of course!

The familiar commands a la Counterstrike can be heard from both factions. "Cover me!" no doubt is the most used phrase and "Chiong ah!!!" being the most misleading commands in both sides. Resulting unwanted 'deaths' and reducing the number of players on the battlefield in no time. No thanks to Quek (useless teammate ><), who revealed my position with a champion yell "Ah Shin good ah!!" as I made my way towards the flag in "Capture the Flag" scenario, thus drawing fire from the whole opposite faction. With no one prepared to cover my back as I run for cover and I'm visible to the oppositions' pleasing eyes with a striking yellow shirt, I don't stand a chance. Dead meat.

Not surprising, most of the soldiers 'lived on' with a scar so he/she has a grand story to tell to his descendants... (Pic can be found on Fang Chin's blog, malas buat link... sendiri cari!)

It sure is one great sport worth enjoying again, though paying RM 51 for it sure is a pain for the wallet...

The Return to Kuantan

Referring back to the previous posts for the past 4 years, without fail in between April - June, there would be a blog entry about the trip to Kuantan.

To live up to my fellow readers expectation, i present to you, yet another post...

MY TRIP TO KUANTAN (version 2007)

Cheh! Why la always Kuantan??

Beh sien meh??

Every year also go nia... go la somewhere else!

Still not dark enough ah? Keep going there...

I would have expect all kinds of rebukes from my friends, but guess they are just ignorant this time around. Everyone just know that, I would end up in Kuantan every year without fail.

Same hotel, same beach, same atmosphere... It's sunny, windy, and still... to my utmost disappointment, no lui's

Ok enough of those nonsense....

The main reason, for me, to go Kuantan is no doubt the Malay food offered over there. It's not just cheap but freaking delicious! If you think that you have tasted a very good Nasi dagang in Selangor, think again! Kuantan is the Nasi Dagang's origin (just like Klang's Bak Kut Teh!) So if you like to give your taste buds a try, Kuantan mari mari mari!! Aside Nasi Dagang, there's Nasi Minyak, Nasi Kerabu (blue colour rice wan!) and of course Murtabak! But my all time favourite would still and always be Nasi Dagang!

Of course, relaxing on the beach is one of the must-do on my list for relaxation. Lay yourself on the beach under a shady coconut tree with a book... Ahhh.. that carefree feeling... What more would you ask for? After a good nap, you will be urged to run along the sands and lunge yourself into the not-so-clean-but-better-than-pantai-morib's-sea!!!!

In the end, you would be tanned, darker than before!! :)

And of course, some night time strolling on the beach with the family...

The night scene (using my camera, flash elek)

I always like the crab's patterns...artistic!

Crab's trails!

The lightning effects are actually the torchlights! :)

The other highlight in this trip is the ongoing fishing competition on the day we checked out our hotel rooms.

Check out the size of the fishing rods!!!

One of them managed to catch a mini shark!! As the action took place too fast, it's impossible to get a picture from it. Plus, the shark is literally mini! So there's no reason for the fisherman to be proud of! ><

And of course, camwhore sessions before we leave the hotel. But I would only post one of it! ^^

Me, Mum, Bro & Dai Sou!

With that, we leave Kuantan half-heartedly, 2kg heavier from the food, and few extra kg's extra load for the car to bear with from fish products and another Malay food called Sata. (How can I miss this??! It's fish paste wrapped in pandan leaves and smoked to perfection! The taste? Lovely!!)

I smell another Kuantan trip in 2008!

Crap! I've internship in that period!!! Nooo~~~~~

American Idol 6 Fans Alert!

Head over Cineleisure Damansara (Beside the Curve if still unsure...) on 5th May, 2pm onwards to join the crowd and see the contestants showing off their talents in order to stand a chance to watch American Idol Finale LIVE!!!! In Los Angeles man!!!!

Hosted by the ever entertaining Hitz.fm’s JJ & Rudy, the selected contestants must be able to meet the criterias set by the organisers and woo the judges comprised of Brian Vinesh from Hitz.fm, hot DJ Marion C of Channel [V], and Agnes Rozario from Astro. So be sure to play your trump cards properly to impress them!

What the contestants have to do??
- Dress and impersonate like one of the top 12 American Idol finalists!
- Prepare 2 performances (their own choice eg: song, dance, talk, or anything interesting that's related to American Idol 6)
- To those who make it to the top 3, they are required to prepare another performance which incorporates “why they should win”. It can be singing, rapping, or anything
- Finally, they will be tested on their knowledge of American Idol 6.

Some afternoon this is going to be! So start practising everybody! Let that kiasu-ism boil inside you!!!!

Sanjaya impersonation would be interesting on that day should one of them idolizes him even though he's voted off.

So head over Cineleisure and have some fun!!

The 2 Weeks of 2 Months

Brief updates to many souls wondering what on earth am I doing in these 2 weeks...

First, there's this half-marathon in The Curve organised by BHP.

9km, around the Curve, damansara residential areas, a glimpse of the NKVE highway, 1-Utama, back to the Curve! Total distance covered is 9km...

9km only what...

9km that has hill tracks, one whole year without jogging since the PJ half-marathon, lack of sleep... Enough said, Im' totally unprepared for this time around. Managed to jog until the halfway line before the machineries in my body malfunction. The whole right leg is strained to the point that I can't even jog. I can't believe it myself, but yeah it's serious. So I walked the remaining of the distance, and judging from the injuries I suffered, I'm surprised that I am able to complete the route in 1 and half hour's time.

The reward for those who manage to finish the track is the same, and fulfilling... A BHP backpack and a certificate of Acknowledgement. Good enough considered that the amount paid to enter this event is neglectible, in exchange of the goodies received of course!!

No pics taken during the whole event, phone's left inside Kar Chun's car for safe-keeping. Which means that I don't get to snap any leng lui photos if i meet one...

But there's alot of them in this event!!!!! -.-"

Suan Le Bah!

Next post would be the Kuantan Trip...

yeah.. again and again eh? wont' be bored with that place? Pics are promised to bombard your connection so be prepared! *I hope*

The 2

It's been 2 weeks...

2 weeks since I last blogged here...

2 weeks since I last had a proper sleep...

2 weeks of writing non-stop on the answer scripts, but never able to finish all the questions in time...

2 weeks of rushing the Theory of Machine project, including the final report, presentation slides and building up the prototype...

Agonized, stressed, exhausted, frustrated, tired, consumed, emfeebled, zombie'ed, tensed...

These are just but a few of the suitable adjectives that best describe what my coursemate and I have gone through...

For the past two weeks...

Apologies to everyone / anyone who's hopeful enough to drop by and see me ramble whenever I blog...

Rejoice now!! For that dreadful 2 weeks have come and gone!!! I'm now a Free man!!!!

FREE!
FREE!!

*pops champagne and tosses confetti around*

2 months of holiday and I shall enjoy it this time! Might find work or maybe I'm just gonna laze around in the house during the hols. So bug me if you guys want! I'm always available! =p
