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 ~

Christmas Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!
A blink of an eye huh? It's already the end of December!

So I'm experiencing a very different kind of Christmas this year, I'm having my finals!
Oh god!
Anyway, I'm driving to school recently, so I'm driving back to Penang to celebrate Christmas after my paper.
Can you believe it? I'm having Management exam on Christmas eve! 500 pages to cover! But I'm consider lucky compare to my friends, they are having two papers today!

So in order to create a holiday atmosphere among all those book reading zombie, I wore a Christmas hat into the examination hall! wahahaha! I'm so crazy man! but yeah! it's Christmas! like, who cares!

I managed to get over it, the examiners didn't ask me to take off my hat. One of the examiner even asked me my name and tease me that he taught I'm Santa Claus. haha

Santa Claus is coming to town yo!

Hey, while writing this post, an idea suddenly pop up from my mind, why not I give out candies outside the examination hall? A random act of kindness! What do you think about it? :)

My November

Well, here I am, on the last day of November. It's been three months since my first day in university.
It has been two hours since I depart from Penang, and I'm still on the road.
There is so much different between the last time I wrote something on the road and today.

So what's going on so far?

I've organized a ghost house event together with my collage friends and it's a successful event although we had some problems with the JKPS seniors. We have been through a lot together.

How did we come up with this? Well, it's actually an idea of three girls from my collage, and they asked us whether we would like to help. We all agreed to help and we had a meeting. I was well, kinda elected as the Vice President of this event.

Things get nasty when I went back Penang in a random weekend. I received a phone call and was told that I'm the director of the event.

So we had meetings, some arguments, some trouble from the JKPS and of course, some fun time together and finally we were there, the ending point of this journey.

Somehow I'm really tired, but I've managed to survived this, and I'm glad I did, and also happy to be a part of the team.

Here are some photos taken during the last few days of the event.

Was doing preparation, covering up the open space.

My zombie make-up time!

Tadaa! a mini scar in my face ;)

A Man of Freedom

So my one week holiday is going to end soon, and I have to go back to UUM.
I'm so reluctant and I don't feel like going back.

My best friend Hean Tee asked me why, well, that's a good question.

First, you have to know the life in UUM. Well, there's curfew in my university, lights off after twelve. Although the authorities seldom check on us, but you feel guilty if you are not in your room after twelve. Even though you are not afraid of that and think that the school is busy enough to leave us alone, where can you go without a car? There is no entertainment within 10 Kilometers radius after twelve around you, and the nearest cinema is 45 minutes drive away from your hostel!

Dear authorities, I'm a man of freedom, in the age of twenty, I've been to 16 countries over three continents.  TEN countries and TWENTY ONE cities over two continents on 2013 itself.  No one gets to stop me where I want to go and I'm able to go alone. Culture different is not a problem and I have no problem walking alone in a country where they don't even share a common language that I know. I've met pickpockets, robber, scammers, poor, wealthy, nice guy and all different kinds of people and situations, and I manage to survive them all without a problem.

I couldn't say that I'm the best and I'm always right because I'm not perfect, but I believe that I've seen more then the others in the age of twenty and that's not the way to treat a mature guy by locking a freeman in a cage.

This is not how a university life should be, this is not how I imagine my life would become.

游子归家

虽然我在大学里生活了一个月半，回槟城却多达四次，这非一般的数目，相信在大学里没几个人比得上。
即使如此，今天在回家之前，我还得为亲爱的槟城写上一篇。

咱们这21世纪的Y世代，踏上升学这段漫长的路不算稀奇，留学他乡的有的远至英美国家，一年都不知能回乡几次，农历新年也只能与异乡同胞吃上一顿，Skype回家说上几句。
而我的情况比他们好多了，大学就离家乡区区两小时车程，每一个星期都会有两三趟巴士从校园出发，回家路程就象进电影院看上一部戏。不过每次说到回家，我心里总是会有一份莫名的兴奋感；回家，让人联想到那张温软的床，那干净舒适的私人厕所，餐桌上那热腾腾的家乡饭。回家，你能不兴奋吗?

当大家陆陆续续离开大学，当大家忙着整理行李，当课室走廊外空无一人，你知道你离你的家不远了；上课时想着回家要做的事情，谈话时想着在家乡的老友们，收拾时想着回家要带来的东西，上车时想着踏入自己家里的感觉。

那两个小时的车程，游子们不断地查看定位系统，不断地寻找路牌，不断地告诉自己，我离家很近了！

我亲爱的槟城！那漂亮的海峡，那繁华的岛屿，在标志性的渡轮里，看见了迎面而来的大厦，黄昏时分，夕阳下的槟城更显得特别壮丽，这时，脑里狂欢着，心里尖叫着，我告诉自己，我到家了！

槟城，我爱你！

My Weekends

Instead of staying in UUM, I usually spend my weekends in Penang. This is just the second months I'm here, but I had went back Penang for more then three times. Well, It's not because that I'm home sick, I just feel like going home and have a break from all those activities and get myself ready for the coming week.

Well, my grandfather was admitted into hospital not long ago. This is one of the reason I went back often. I was so worried, but he is getting better by now.

So, I was just on time for two big thing this week! my dad's new Accord have finally arrived and it's my grandmother's birthday! Oh boy! it's almost five years since my dad last bought a new car, I'm so excited with it because I'm allowed to drive it! Look at this beauty!

Celebrated my grandmother's birthday that night. Although it's just a simple celebration, but I wish that you like it :)
