MyLDS 2014

OH finally I'm willing to blog about MyLDS after so long!

Why did I joined MyLDS? Well, the one and only reason is to widen my network. Yes, I've been missing a lot of AIESEC gathering and I barely know anyone outside iGIP(my AIESEC department). I took up this Global Villager position in the chief delegate team, which I'm really regretted before pre pre MyLDS. 

It took me a lot of time, doing preparations, meetings, this and that. And I'm actually frustrated with all these job especially during my finals. I couldn't believe why I commit into this in the first place!

I survived!

until pre pre MyLDS, I finally found my sense of belonging. Sad but true, after weeks of meetings and I only found my sense of belonging to the team? Time went by, from being uncomfortable with literary EVERYONE to being one of the team, making new friends and doing crazy things together.

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!

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: 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: 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

20th Birthday

 Celebrating my 20th birthday with the UTB2.

Didn't celebrate during the actual day because I'm with my family.

What can I say,
I was late for the BBQ party actually (sorry),
arrived there around 9 something,
I was a little bit defensive that night,
don't want to be fooled by them,
I guest I'm over protective.

here is how it goes:
Hean Tee asked me out earlier and he changed the time from 7 to 8pm that day.
I arrived home around 6 something and waited for his call.
He didn't reply me until 8 something,
and I'm actually very hungry and had taken my dinner by the time he replied.
I thought he is gonna cancel the celebration (he told me only PL and SY can make it, pretty hard to believe huh?)!

okey, so I drove to paradise and I didn't pick up PL's phone call,
purposely.(I'm driving that time)
Who knows what will he come up with, his words are very convincing sometimes.

walk along the beach and saw them because of the bright light and loud voice.

Okey, didn't expect there's gonna be a BBQ party,
nice surprise, and I do appreciate it.
Always wanted to have a BBQ party there ever since the last time (which I guess it's almost one or two years ago)

and I suddenly realise HT and CP were gone and they came out with this, my birthday cake from Jenny's cake house.

annoying me with annoying post

 our food, thanks to PL and SY, they were grilling for us all the time!

and lastly, a group photo of us (glad to be surrounded by lengluis. haha)

 I'm happy with the celebration and special thanks to HT,

being told that he contribute a lot.

was expecting some alcohol and maybe an overnight stay actually,

but that's more then enough.

Oh ya, and my birthday gift from the UTB2,

a cool poster of us with my botak profile picture!

haha, going to bring it to university so I'll have you guys with me all the time :)

*oh and I'm wearing my new birthday spectacles and shirt (both UK brand) from my family! look how I value this gathering ;) *

PS: I still don't get it why all of you greet me happy birthday on the 22th instead of 21th. All I can come up with is you guys pakat. But what for? LOL

Prom cum Graduation Night 2012

This is my final year in high school.

Prom night,

where everyone dress up to look good.

And i've been looking forward for this night for a long time.

i'm one of the organising committee,

and we've been through a lot.

thanks to Hean Tee, 

who dragged me into this mess.

i wasent pleased when he dragged me in,

all those works and meetings,

which i'm really reluctant to attend to it.

but anyway,

we've managed to carry out prom as usual.

well, this is my final year in school,

and my school doesn't celebrate graduation day.

only prom night, so i really appreciate the night.

After school,

I spent an hour playing games,

this is damn boring and i cant wait for the prom.

had my hair cut and collected my suit from the laundry and i'm good to go.

left my house around 445pm and took some photos before i pick my friends up.

i drove 2 hours before i reach Paradise hotel.

the traffic was god damn JAM!

and i was actually late for an hour.

couldn't find a place to sit as everyone was sited already.

but finally 12 of us managed to squeeze into a table.

here are some photos

Poey Shan and me

oh, and i got the best makeover prize that day :)

Arts 3 group photo.

I enjoy the night so much,

although i never get to dance with the one i want :(

and was very boring during the dancing section because i'm a guy without a date.

actually shouldn't blame, cause i don't want to find one.

after Prom, we went for a movie at Gurney with the UTB gang.

i have to mention, my classmate were also watching movie there but i did not join them because they were watching horror movie.

i dropped 3 friends before the movie,

and i was fast,

and luckily i've managed to make it in time.

watch taken2,

such a great movie:)

wanted to go for third round, but sadly,

the girls wanted a rest.

so the night ends here.

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!

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

Yesterday is Yi Lynn's birthday,

sadly, it's an exam day,

so i dint help her celebrate.

but i still have to make it up for her

well, we'r the TL gang; best friend :)

pick Hean Tee & Yi Lynn up,

and here we begin our journey to the far far away Feringghi Garden.

talking about this, i have to mention Hean Tee,

he is sick, but Yi Lynn, see how a good friend he is :)

here are some photos of us at Feringghi Garden,

apologize for the only few photos i took, im a lazy man.

La food Yi Lynn ordered

group photo

The photo Yi Lynn took (over exposure)

*then she keep complaining she should have brought her camera along*

i took this photo.

you can see the difference between her photography skill and mine. :P

...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.

Once in a while?

hehe
