我，与我自己

一场生日会，把大家都给聚在一起了。
本来打算到场嘻哈两下，见大家一面，吃一顿饱饭便掉头回家读书，谁知道老友相聚，一座，就是几个小时。

我的主席常常会告诉我，要我站在家庭比较不富裕的角度看待世界，老实说，她那番话从来都不带任何影响力，只有我跟我的几个死党在一起时，我才知道自己应该反省。

跟他们在一起的日子，我懂得自立根生，我知道什么事情都得自己争取，我懂得我得对自己的生命负责人。

今天的一番话，怎么让我觉得，我在大学的态度似乎完全不对了？

Flashback!

Dear dear~ Its already the final half an hour before 2014 and I've just started to blog!

So what to blog about? Well, 2013 is really a good year to me, perhaps one of the most meaningful year in my life! Lets go through my timeline!

January: I've just came back from my Hong Kong trip with my family and STPM is over! I'm enjoying every moment of my life!

February: So I went to Sarawak, and this is my first phrase of my backpacking experience! being host by a local Chinese Sarawakien and met two friends from Sweden!

March: Went to Beijing with my mum in early March, first time traveling alone with my mum, and I'm the guide! It's freezing cold over there, too bad the snow was melting.
I went to Cambodia during mid March, alone! this is my second phrase of my backpacking trip, and also first time traveling abroad alone! backpack with two foreign friends, one from Canada and one from France. STPM result was released during my last day in Cambodia. I was so nervous! I received a few message congratulating me before I gain internet access to check my result. I got 4As! although not 4 solid As, but I was so happy! This is like a miracle! I cycle with a ranted bike with joy to Angkor Wat again(half an hour away from my hotel), just for the sake of my merryness! That moment is so special, my whole cycling journey is covered by my overwhelming joy, and I'll never forget!

Merry Christmas in UUM 2013

So this is the Youtube link to a video i made during Christmas Eve, a random act of kindness, the crazy thing I've been talking about in my previous post. Enjoy ~

YiLynn's birthday

So I was suppose to blog about her birthday last week, but unfortunately I left all the photos back in Penang. We, the TL gang celebrated YiLynn's bday on the 16th of September, five days earlier because I couldn't make it on the 21st of Sept. Sorry Lynn, I really wish that I can be there during your birthday.

Anyway, I booked the restaurant a day earlier before the celebration. Guess what, this is the second birthday celebration at 32 at the mansion. A great place indeed for birthday celebration and fine dining.

well, we had a great time together, updating each other about our university life and oh yea, Hean Tee is joining me in UUM!

32 at the mansion is a nice place, but too bad, Hean Tee double dated again and I have to drop him at Abu to join his friends so we left in a hurry and didn't managed to take more photos in this beautiful place. Hean Tee, do you have to do this always??#

祝福

是时候跟朋友们说再见了。

离开槟城前的最后一个星期一直忙着搞徐别会，跟班上朋友道别，跟UTB2说再见。

最难忘的应该还是UTB2吧。在嘉萍离开槟城的前一天，咱都聚在一起，为了这个徐别会，我也特地把一些纪念性的照片都洗了出来，让大家带着上大学。

老实说我真的不舍得UTB2，尤其是贤庭，平时都一起上学，站岗，搞活动，一起走过来的也实在太多了。

翻过我们在一起的照片，想起那些欢笑欲哭泣，朋友们，珍重

Countdown: 7 days before university

Day 7

Meet two best friends of mine in MBS, the TL gang! Didn't went out together for such a long time! I'm happy that everyone can make it today, although HT seems to double date again. Had our lunch at Morganfield's, Paragon. Well, they are currently having lunch promo from only RM16.90! Honestly, the service is really good, the waiters are polite and as for the food, I think a rating of above average is fair enough for them (based of the food I ate).

A group picture of us

YiLynn with her salad

Me with my killer face (I look more like madman)

Hean Tee with his epic self portrait post

Thanks to HT,  he gave each of us a group picture before joining Stef. I like it very much, going to keep it in my wallet so I have something to look at whenever I miss them. Yi Lynn is going to USM and I think HT will be joining her soon, so this group picture is going to accompany me for the next four years. Well, hopefully we can still meet up during our semester breaks.

We watched The Mortal Instrument after HT left. The movie is OK, although some of the part is really funny. I don't really like the main actor of the movie. He is a skinny guy, and he is not handsome at all, but I believe that the director have his reason choosing him. Yi Lynn said that he is charming in his way, oh well, the actor is successful as long as he is able to attract girls.

Had some cakes together after the movie at our old place - Delicious. Had a great time talking with YL. I don't usually go out with girls alone but I like to go out with her because I can be myself and we always have something to talk about.

Took this picture before going home, thanks to her again for the photos :)

Well, I was really quiet when we reached her home, so this is our farewell? I was really reluctant. I don't know how to say good bye, is this it? I really want to say Thank to you, YL for all the hangouts and being there for me, I'm glad to have you in my life, a friend that I'll never forget. I'm gonna miss you so much, take care, and all the best!

Countdown: 8 days before university

Day 8

I went to the club last night, it's my first time partying but I only had one or two glasses of alcohol because I was driving last night. Not a pleasant experience.

It's really hard for me to get up early, but I managed to join my family for an early jog in the Botanical Garden. Well, I cant afford to miss this once in a blue moon family day, especially when all six of us are here in Penang.

Had our family brunch together at 'New Zealand' cafe. I don't like this place when was a kid, I used to get angry when I know we are going to have our breakfast here because all I wanted is MacD. But things change as time goes by. Now I've learnt  how to appreciate the good food here because I think it's impossible to have such good food in my university!

Managed to meet up again for an English hi-tea at E&O 1885 restaurant. Well, we wanted to have our hi-tea at China House, but we can't get a place for six and there's no place for us to stand and wait. Although we have to wait for another half an hour to be seated at E&O, we were just too lazy to find another restaurant again.


Guys, if you ever plan to have an English hi-tea there, please be prepared to pay. We were told that sharing is not allow and we have to order six sets for each of us. Ouch! But you get what you pay for. Satisfying!

We paid our grandmother-in-law a visit after our hi-tea. I miss her a lot but I seldom visit her. Felt so guilty for not paying her visit often enough. I'm entering university very soon, I'll miss you. Stay healthy and all the best, I'll visit you whenever I can.

What's next? I'm meeting up with the Untahanable for a farewell dinner! And guess what, Piang, Saw, TW, TY and Jenn is joining us tonight! It's been awhile since we last meet, updated each other with our recent life and talked a lot about our university life soon. We are such a big crowd for a small place like this

Went to Esplanade for our second round, it's not really an ideal place for us to chat. Well, I didn't feel the feeling of separation yet, maybe it's too early, perhaps the feeling of separation will be stronger if we have our farewell on the last few days before university or the day before someone is actually leaving. 

After saying farewell to Piang them, four of us (HT, CP, YL and I) went for a late supper at Abu. Talked about friendship and love. I was really impressed and admire how CP dedicated her love to her boyfriend.  I wish that the others from UTB2 can make it tonight, or perhaps we should have another private farewell together with UTB2. We still have time, let's not waste it!

 Enjoyed my day although it's really tiring. Thanks for the day guys!

Countdown: 11th and 10th day before university

I'm finally back again! Gonna blog about my Cameron trip with the UTBs. Can I call it graduation trip? since we are all schoolmate and we are still in our graduation holiday~

Day 11 before university

As I mentioned in my previous blog, we were hanging out together until late night before the trip, so I didn't sleep very well (and HT didn't even sleep at all!). It's cool that the van came to my home to pick me up, so I can sleep longer then the others! thank you guys for tolerating :). As usual, had some small talks during the ride to Cameron. It took us five hours to Cameron Highlands and our first stop: 

 A random plantation in the entrance of Cameron Highlands. The weather is not as cold as we expected.

OH Cameron, it's all about strawberries. Strawberry chocolate, dry strawberry, strawberry ice cream, jam, juice, you name it.

 The girls are busy with their self portrait (even there's some one with a camera in front of them)

Lavender Garden (where HT used to mention before the trip but had totally forgotten about it and I have to remind them about it). Well, the lavender here is different from what I saw in France, perhaps a different type?

Here's out first group photo together, taken by the garden's photographer (berpattern-pattern)

The four deadly machine gun flowers

HT with his cupid (that's what he think it is)

Countdown: 12 days before university

Day 12

What a restless day! Meet up with PY to settle something together. I never think that I'll bump into anyone there as I plan to leave once I've collected my cert in MBS, and guess what? I was there when they finish their school! Never mind about that. After done paying our university fee, we had Blackball together. It must be my lunch that make me so sick, stomach ache! Didn't really enjoy the dessert at all. I don't usually use public toilet, but what can I do? Luckily the toilet is clean. Ugh, so humiliating!

Went out together with UTB2 again, I'm actually quite lazy, we are going to spend two days together soon, do we have to meet up? But it's still nice to see them, or else it's gonna be me and my books again. Spent my evening discussing about the trip tomorrow, Oh! I haven't pack!

My seventh trip after STPM! Although this is going to be a short trip and I'm not travelling far, but yea, stay tune, I'll blog about it when I'm back :)

SO MANY THINGS TO DO BEFORE UNIVERSITY!
-photostat documents for university and PTPTN, and get them verified my the government
-buy groceries, electrical appliances, bed sheet for university
-buy stem hasil
-renew my driving license
-pack for university
-farewell with friends

so many things yet to be done, and I only have 10 days left (excluding my Cameron trip tmr)
God bless~

Countdown: 17 days before university

Day 17

Meeting up with my old buddies again.
meet ZY, WZ, FK & Jack, yea, all guys.
I just figure out that my high school life is so out of balance! I don't usually hangout with girls during those days. Anyway, those boys are still so childish, and I think I might be as childish as they are when I enter form 6, people must think I'm crazy!
Watched the Unbeatable. I have been waiting for this movie for so long! and WOW! GREAT movie I have to say! Look at their muscles, how they fight, how they train! It somehow motivated me to train harder in the gym! I have to get one of those posters in my room when I enter university, keep me motivated! hehe
It's very sad to say that I can't quite fit in to their conversations anymore. They are still working very hard in the drama society, but well, I quited drama since form 6. So, yea. I don't feel like part of the gang anymore. But hay, this friendship is still worth keeping, we've been through so many things together anyway!

Went out with the UTB2 again after dinner.
What a night! HT over slept, over shoot while picking up Imn, YL's phone went dead when we arrived Sampson's place, but six of us managed to meet up at LK Western that night.
Had a long chat, they are talking about boyfriends, sleepovers and so on, well, I kept quiet most of the time, because I don't have a girlfriend, but somehow I feel lucky because I'm still free from all those responsibility and tolerance.
Great night, I have to say. Six people is just nice.

                     now here is a photo of six of us

         (finally remember to take group photo this time)

Countdown: 19 days before university

Day 19

I just realize that I don't have much time left before university,

Especially when you know that things are going to be so different there in UUM.

I had my breakfast with my grandparents and siblings and went out with two groups of friends today.

Had a lot of fun together with my ex classmate, I really think that I should make taking self portrait photos with friends a habit! I just realize that I don't have any photos with them to post here. 

Anyway, went red box with py and ck, ended up letting them tease me about my favorite song!

Meet up with ken after that to help him out. He is buying cloths for his brother's wedding soon, and he is having a hard time deciding what to buy. First time picking so many cloths from the shop without looking at the price! So shyok man! Too bad the cloths are not for me. Haha, but we had a great time.

Meet up with HY, a best buddy from HEHS for dinner.

We knew each other since form one, and you may know him if you ever heard about my form one crazy online game freak story. Yea, we used to play maple story together and talking through phone for hours.

Surprisingly I didn't even feel awkward meeting him tonight. We talk so much that I almost forget about the time!

8 years of friendship! Not easy at all! Although we didn't meet up all the time, maybe only a few times a year, but man, I'm glad we can still keep this friendship going. Oh, he also helped me during my campfire two years ago!

He is having a hard time recently, things doesn't seems well, but I believe that he will get through it, and I sincerely hope all the best to him.

Thank you for the day friends and family.

I'm so grateful to have you guys sharing this wonderful day with me.

Peace out

My Hari Raya With UTB2

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

I've been locking myself in my room for days,

I can see the laziness in me has developed into a critical situation and I need a day out!

so I'm actually the person who asked my friend out in the first place,

but I turn out to be the guy who almost didn't show up because of pure laziness.

Anyway, here I'm, 9am in this wonderful holiday, sitting here in MacD waiting for my friends.

they didn't show up, I couldn't wait anymore and I don't want to have MacD's muffin as breakfast.

Come on, not today. I wanted to find something so healthy that I ended up with Ham Jim Peng (which is not healthy at all) because I've wasted too much of my time looking around!

Wonderful!

First stop, Penang Hill!

I feel ashamed to tell you that, I've never really been to Penang Hill!

anyway, I made it today.

to my surprise, we actually got a better cable car then Hong Kong's The Peak!

well, it's a cloudy day, and the peak is covered with mist, so we didn't really get a great view of Penang.

But i believe that It's going to be beautiful up here if the day is great.

here is a group photo of us, one with PL and one with me.

oh and the guy with purple shirt is CP's boyfriend

TL's day

i have been grounded for a month,

and finally i gain my freedom back!

this is a tiring yet a wonderful day :)

let's start with the long waited movie-- resident evil!

i have to say, if you are an action lover,

this movie is a must!

i like 李冰冰!

she is god damn hot and sexy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...joking...

well, wen we finish our meal,

Hean Tee and me left her alone at the table.

well, actually we'r just fooling around,

prepared to give her a surprise,

but sadly, she is really sensitive with being left out.

OOPS!

*mood spoiler*

after that, she want to go to the beach,

actually i wanted too,

but have to tolerate with the sick one.

so we went to Delicious for some desserts

*tell you a secret, i wanted to give them a treat, but they had a hard time finishing off their cake, that changed my mind*

i was quiet that time.

i'm told that my maternal grandmother was at the hospital

*lets not talk about what happened during the ride home*

it was almost 1230 when i drop Yi Lynn back.
