A End to 6 weeks of Ignorance

Well 2008 is coming to its end and 2009 is coming. To think back, I didnt realy achieve much this year as compare to the previous years. I felt like I have wasted the entire year doing mundane stuffs and so on. Experiencing college life was nice, but when its in a hostel, I felt like high school all over again. The life, the lessons, the events that we have to participate, the house that we are in and so on. It so feels like KYS all over again. So dejavu. 

Well the good part about this year is that I have learn to judge people better. People that I used to be close with, are just gone like the wind, the ethereal zephyr. Some people just can't balance their friendship. When they meet new people, they forgot the old one. I have also learnt that no matter how I try to stay in touch with some of my friends, if its only me doing the communication. It aint gonna work. Even if we are the best of pals back in highschool.

Its that time again, seasons pass, people changed and so on. A year has passed swiftly and here we are , a year older. Wiser perhaps? I don't realy know about that. People certainly grow out from their shells this year. I still see people wearing mask, pretending to be who they aren't, just for the popularity and so on. Getting acceptance into the community, thats what we want now. To have links, to communicate better so that when we are trying to reach the top, we have all the human resources we need to achieve it. People still use people and thats a fact. Can't realy run away from it. Its amazing how my friends treated this girl, initially they were making fun of her and teasing her, mocking her name at so on. But later on when they get to know who she realy is, everything change. They start being nice to her and helped her and so on. Thats so lame but well the truth it, it works everytime.

This holidays can be summed up as being a sloth. My schedule is simple.

1. Sleep

2. Eat

3. Outings

4. Movies

5. Cyber Cafes

6. Dota

7. Dramas

8. Tv

9. Chatting

Up to date I haven't touch my books yet and to think of it, I'm having my freaking A levels in 4 months. Its time to stop enjoying and start working I guess. 

So my new year's resolution for next year is:

1. Stop playing games excessively and start studying.

2. Go for sports more often.

3. Get As for all my A levels subject, 4.5 to be exact. AAAAa.

4. Learn how to cook.

5. Go for my special trainning more often.

6. Get the girl of my dream, if not move on =) .

7. Get shorter

8. Get my driver's license

9. Be more knowledgeble about what is happening around the world.

10. Go to UK and hopefully the university of my dream, LSE.

Hopefully all of it ain't gonna be hard for me to achieve. One thing for sure, I need to always strive to be a better man.

Christmas 2008

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la... la la la la.

Merry Christmas to everyone! 

Well Christmas for me, it didnt go exactly as planned. Not all of it.

Didnt get to go to Gurney and spray foam at people cause lack of transport. Gee Kin and Enouch got delayed from KL. So Chee Kit and I went to QueensBay instead for a while. A friend of his asked him out. A girl apparently but we didnt even get to say hi. Weird... they just glance at each other haha. In Borders... 

But we got back to his home before 12am since there wasnt much at Queensbay anyway. Countdown in garena. How boring is that but I got a nifty snowman pet on my avatar. Watched Moonlight till 5am though and slept till 2pm. The first thing I remember was Ms. Zai's wedding. " Shit! I'm later for it!" Figuratively speaking of course as she didnt mention the time. And its in Teluk Bahang, on the other side of the island. It will take me at least 40 minutes to get there if there is no jam.

So went there and yes it was almost over. Apparently the event was from 12pm till 4pm. Saw Ms. Zai on the stage, she was wearing white. Another shitty thing is that I forgot to bring my camera. Damn that sucks a lot.

Souvenirs from Ms. Zai's wedding, some delicacies, a fan and another thing im not so sure what it is. Smells nice though.

Met up with Chee Kit later on and had dinner at a chinese restaurant nearby while waiting for Gee Kin to fetch us. Apparently it tooked him 40+ minutes to drive from Peng Hwa. Must be a hell of jam.

Went to gurney later on. Gee Kin met up with some friends from Taylors while we sat there. He was the only one who haven't have his dinner yet. Gurney Drive, haha. So many options and yet if you didn't speak Hokkien, your wallets gonna slim down a bit. His friend order a passembur and it cost him RM15. Lolz, you'll get the biggest one they have. A normally Passembur only cost around RM2~3  and at most RM5 for penangites. 

Later on we went to FTZ. Rae Von and Gee Kin were both driving so transport wasnt an issue that night. 2 cars with only 5 passengers.. 2 in Rae Von's and 3 in Gee Kin's. Stayed there for more than 7 hours playing dotA and some mini games. I discover something new that night, I never knew they close the 2nd floor sometimes. There goes my snack for the night as the food were sold on the 2nd floor and 1st floor only sells drinks.

FTZ Penang...

We left around 7am or so and went to KFC for breakfast. It was either McD  or KFC for breakfast. 

Raevon and Gee Kin, Gee Kin was staring at the sky and comparing it to the skies in France.

The Sky that he was staring at. 

We never appreciate nature that much. Look at the destruction that mankind did to our Mother Earth. Probably thats why I wanted to be a ecologist when I was young. Was realy into nature and still is.

Oh well, overall this christmas was a quiet one. However, it was still nice as I got to catch up with my friends. 

Sime Darby Scholars Development programme in Carey Island

So Carey Island wasn't as what I have expected. Beaches, seaside chalets and so on... 

Its actually and island filled with palm trees. Sime Darby Plantation academy was there so yeah, the next few days was filled with 45 SD scholars in a palm tree estate. Oh bother.

This was out itinerary throughout the programme. It is filled with talks, talks and more talks. Wasnt the kind of camp that we expected though as in their email they asked us to bring sports attire, swimming attire and so on.

Tooked us around one and a half hours to arrive there. It started out with a karaoke night where everyone was suppose to sing. They make it sound like it was so far away. We are going with a coach and there will be 2 trips. The first for the one who wants to sing and the second for those who just wanna watch. Eventually, the 2nd group just walked there instead. Most of us was shy at first but as the night continues, many were eager to hold the microphone. Eventually we got bored of it and wished that it would end ASAP.

Ash, Nick and Amir a.k.a The Lost Boy

Subiah, Lynn, Boyout and Nash singing out. Boyout grab the mike from Lynn whenever it was time for the chorus... Pity Lynn.

\

Hafiz and I, we were in the same group during our interview last year. He got to do Ausmat while I did A levels... Oh yeah, its his birthday today. 24th Dec, Happy birthday man.

This was Iylia in the Buzz / Fizz game. We were suppose to say buzz everytime there is a multiple of 5 and Fizz when there is a multiple of 7. Whoever lost had to sing a song. Iylia did Twinkle twinkle little stars =P.

This is our cup drawings. We were suppose to choose from the four options that would tell us a bit about our personality. I choosed checkers and well one is true, kind and most often been used by others. LMAO

The table where I sat during the programme. Of course during the games they would  jumble us up. I pity Nash, the pose looks wrong. =)

This is Hun Yin during out blind arrangement game. We are not suppose to talk and see and arrange ourself in a straight line from 1 to 45. We tooked 3 attempts to complete it though as Aizat and Hun Yin forgot the codes.

During the free and easy time on the first day, its either volleyball or swimming. Most of them went for volleyball as the swimming pool was only a 10 by 10 pool. Some of us didnt mind and yeah we were lucky it rained. We end up in the other pool. 

Aizat posing for the picture

Lynn, trying to hit the ball. She was the first to score a point for that day. Shame on us guys = ="

Me as I practise shooting. Not bad, I hit the ball more often now instead of making it jump around.

This was the ping pong game where the bats were our breath. Eventually, no one dare to touch the ball as it was filled with saliva. I was unlucky to be position opposite to Nick. I pity my face T_T.

 

My group table a.k.a Group 2 / Dynamite as we listen to the talk.

Pak Nol giving out his talk

Dyanamite rocks! We got the best group after we won 1st Best Cheer, 2nd place in Magic Blanket and 1st in the Pegs Competition. We lost badly in the Ping Pong though, 5 - 0.

Me receiving my cert from Pn. Hajah Mariani, head of the Sime Darby Business School

Anyway, it was a quick programme. Before we knew it, we were packing out bags and heading home. Ken, Boyout and Subiah got the best participants. Most of us were happy as we get to leave the island and back to civilisation. Yeay, no more being surround by palm trees =P. Although thoose taking Bio Tech might end up being here as there is a R&D center there.

Before our departure back

Me and Lynn

On Sime Darby's bus, Me and Patrick

It was an insightfull camp. Nice as well.

Away..

I will be away for a few days so won't be blogging for the next couple of days. TO all my friends, enjoy the holidays while it last. Good luck to all for the PMR results and have a blast Christmas and New Year!~

PS: To thoose waiting answers from Sime Darby and Bank Negara for their scholarship offers based on their trials.. All the best in getting it. And then I can say, welcome to the gang =P

Weird things happen oh bother~

Ok for this post to be valid, take a look at my chat box. =P

To the guy named Tiffany, I don't know whats your problem. But as far as I'm concern, I have made a deal with her. And pretty please if you don't know the content of the deal, please don't butt in. It's rude if you learnt your manners. Thanks for the advise though, I'll keep that in mind.

For your Information, I don't realy think a phone call once a month (If im lucky) or once in  several months consider as a lot. Blimmey me, I call my fren more than I call her. *winks to my close friends and of course Mui Mui*. Even my ex gets more. ^_^ 

To tell you the truth, feel free to go after her. I don't mind. But people will have a fair game and compete professionally, and not just asking their competitors to back off. Believe in your own strengh and by what are you doing now, you are actually comdenming yourself to an act of coward. But thanks for the warning, I know now that I got a protective competitor that doesnt mind speaking out his mind. Kudos to you. =)

Seriously I need a chat with you, and not through that chat box at the side. =P It will shorten the time period taken and lets not waste our own time here. I meant it as I will be away for the next few days attending my Scholar Development Programme. *I just cant wait for it =P, Carey Island here I come!*

One question, how old are you? I just wanna know the age of my competitor.

Was that It?

OK, yesterday I watched The Day the Earth stood Still. Didnt get to watch it the day before (Watch Trasporter 3) as the tickets were sold out and I am so not gonna walk around Queensbay for 2 hours. Its getting bored, the mall. To think of it, it used to be an abandon building for years and now, its a 'hot' attraction. Weird how things can change don't they?

Back to the story, went to watch that movie. At first it was good. I was asking the what question all along. But turns out in the end, it got a bit sour. Thats all? Human has a 2nd personality and he (Keanu Reeves) just left like that. Cause well humans, each of us is unique and most of us tend to neglect our 2nd personality right? overall I would say it was a good film but not good enough.

Going out with my family tonight. Ciao

A typical boring day

Watch Transporter 3 yesterday... I know its a bit late but well. The Day The Earth Stood still was sold out and I was too lazy to wait another 2 hours for the midnight show. It was nice and I was remind on how I like deep voices... ROFL.

I'm getting bored of my daily routines now. Its wake up, eat sleep, play dota, television and chatting. Well for Dota, I notice one thing. Sentinel tends to win more the Scourge.. lolz. I could it the curse of the bad guys, lol. Even another players agrees with me. I wonder why is it like that.

I'm trying to drag my mum and dad to watch movie with me tonight. I dont realy mind watching alone but well, my mum hasnt watch any movies in the cinema in ages. Would be a nice thing to drag her along, dont ya think?
