Merci Beaucoup

Hi,

It's been some time since my last post and my first post. Only now that I notice there's a missing part/fragment/portion/fraction/piece/whatever you may call it. Some of you may think it is unnecessary but to me... it should be a big part in my blog. Just hope that I can make this only post be as BIG as one whole page.

This blog had grown from a single meaningless post to what you see now, a crap of my life. I've been talking bout all the happening in my life. I'm happy to have a group of audience who would just come back after some day and click on my blog link to check whether I've updated. I'm really very happy about that. At 1st, I would never have thought there will be any audience to read a crazy dude talk about things not very significant to them. But the reception proves me wrong. Been getting people to spam my chat box (happy for it), people giving comments and most importantly people reading my blog post.

It's a great big "Thank You" that is missing from my blog. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all my audience, like or dislike, love or hate me. It is all of you that kept my blog alive.

To return such great favor that you've all brought to me, I can only do so much as to keep on blogging for you.

(Sounds a lil too dramatic for a blog this small a size)

Weekend Madness

Hi,

I'm back~

I think I'm into blogging as I see myself updating more frequently lately. Hope this will last and also hoping to be able to write something interesting for my limited number of audience.

This weekend is again another unproductive weekend as I practically did nothing to contribute to my upcoming exam. No study at all, but most probably be studying after posting this short post.

Now why did I say it's unproductive? Yesterday, I woke at 5:30pm... yes... it's in the evening. Woke with a back pain as I slept too much and feeling groggy the whole remaining day. Went for a futsal game at 7:30pm. Came back at 11:00pm and spent the time before I sleep watching Youtube clips.

Oh, for you who do not know, playing football is a love I developed. Though not really good at it but it's a passion. Let me share with you how my amateur footballing life started. It started in primary school time, if I'm not mistaken standard 3. At one of those recess time that I ate too fast and manage to have quite a number of remaining time, I just walked around and end up at school field where I saw my usual bunch of friends kicking the ball against the fence which they marked as the goal. What I did? Join them and kick around. It was love at first sight. During our physical education, PE class, we will just get into our usual team and start the game. I started as an attacker (striker, forward, winger, midfield) until one day, my team's goalie was absent to school and I volunteered to take the job. That day, I noticed my unusual talent in keeping the ball at bay. Successfully prevented and saved some of the shots. From that day on, I switched from an offensive player to the most defensive player on the field. My career as a goalkeeper was quite a successful one. I was quite a fanatic goalie back then. Once, I broke my left hand in 1998, I still continued playing as a goalie, a one handed goalie with a cast on the other hand. Played in a competition in primary school and managed to get to the final only to lose to a team full of offensive player. I will never forget the one mistake I made that caused the lost. It was in extra time where first team to score will win. A shot came... I dive to my right and saved the ball... but it doesn't end there... I was skidding like a car drifting on a wet road until one part of the field where the pitch is quite uneven (you know school field condition). My right leg bump into the ball in my arms and went into the goal. I know... it's stupid and funny.

I continued footballing into my secondary school life. During which most of the people started calling me the best goalkeeper in the school when I was in form 2/3. Ok... why did i not join the football club? Because I'm just too lazy. My successful career ended prematurely when I suffered appendicitis near the end of form 4. I had hard time moving around, and don't mention jumping. It was then I noticed my cat-like agility is deteriorating. Now, I feel I have a more successful career playing as outfield player. Scoring a couple of goals and sometimes prevented some. Maybe due to my early career as a goalie, I did not develop sufficient amount of stamina to play through the clock. So now... I continue playing still but switched to futsal and playing mainly winger.

Haha... actually there's more to my footballing life than what I have written. But I just gave you the highlight. My idol was and still is Peter Schmeichel, google him up. Oh... got another futsal game in the evening for me.

I think I have writen enough for this time. I'll come back later with more updates to my life, past, present and future.

Adios~

April~ La~ La~ La~

Hi again...

This time I'm really gonna be talking bout what happened in April. Haha... this post really makes me dig around for all the photos taken during outing. So mainly this post is about the outing in APRIL~ Wee~~~

In preparation to welcome April 2009 into our life, we went to have Baskin Robbins (actually is cause 31st March, just to make it sound dramatic). It was an unplanned one but everyone agreed to it or basically the five of us, me, Soo Mei, Pei Ling, Fan Sheng, and Li Theen, agreed to it.

So... what we did back then was just drive our asses to Midvalley Megamall and grab ourselves 2 Handpacked Pints. One of them is Something Mint (can't remember), eeeeuuuuwwwww... I got goosebump just by typing that. Another is way cooler, Very Berry Strawberry + World Class Chocolate, ahhhh~ I can still remember the sweet scent in my mouth. Gotta go grab one again the next promo.

On the 2nd of April... Went dinner with my cool friends as usual, but in somewhere nice. It's

 Bubba Gump in The Curve. Bubba Gump is a name the owner got from the movie Forrest Gump, go watch it if you do not know. In the movie, Bubba Gump's a Shrimping company, company that catches shrimp and it's started by the protogonist himself. This time the attendees were me, Soo Mei, Fan Sheng, Li Theen and

 the suggestorz, Kai Sien (all in picture, Li Theen's hand). 

The place is filled with strange, funny, weird and nice quotes, one of which is "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done". You might wanna know what we had there, I'll let the picture do the talking this time.

Can't remember the name of this bucket thing, trash something or something trash. There's some lobster in the middle.

Ok... I can't remember this as well... but it's damn freaking nice.

Ok... Let's move on. After that... I think it's the Sem End small dinner we had among ourselves again. We only got 4 people for this but none the less, it's fun. We went to Kim Gary in Midvalley 

and eat till we drop... OK... that only apply to Pei Ling as she had too much cheese... Double Cheese Assorted Mushroom + Double Cheese Seafood Baked Rice = Quadruple Cheese Nausea Attack. Argh... they didn't even send me the photos we took there. Herm... need promote Pei Ling's blog, if you really wanna have a look at what we ate and know more bout this outing, just visit Teddy's Lair (the link is provided on the right sub menu).

The week after, we had another dinner. This time with a humongous crowd I would say. 8 people, 3 cars, 1 destination, 1 hill to climb. It's Hulu 

Langat's Look Out Point. We ate at Gasoline, I guess that's the place with a wider choice and variety of food and beverages up there. All of us got our food and have fun talking crap while eating. Looky looky at our food (picture on the right). 

After eating, we went up the tower nearby and took a couple of nice shot of KL and ourselves. I noticed I look so good... haha... ok. On the left is the

picture of KL from the tower in Look Out Point, we can actually see Genting Highlands from up there, it's just that nice. 

Ops.... just noticed I termalas put the name of the attendees.... hahahahaa.... They're..... ta ta ta daaa~~~ Me, Li Theen, Fan Sheng, Soo Mei, Kai Sien, Shook Yean auntie, Teck Wei, and Kok Kiong. After the dinner, I just forcefully invite them to my house which is quite near to the place. 10 minutes drive... or less. Haha... and we found out my Dog, Sammi is above Soo Mei in the Bully Chain. Soo Mei got bullied by my dog. 

Ok... and then on the 21st of April... my sista's birthday. I went there again, to the Look Out Point to treat my family to a dinner. It's been awhile since we last had a dinner like this. It's fun to have family time like this.

I think that's all from me this time. If you wanna have in-depth story on any of the outing/event, or just wanna look at more pictures, just give me a nudge or message.

OMG~ the intensity

Hi everyone,

It's me again... errr... of course it's gonna be me, who else... ok... cut the crap.

It's gonna be time for exam later today but i find it too tense to keep on studying, so... here's my post. Oh... sorry guys... it's not about what happen in April... it's something else.

Every coursemate of mine is in a worried yet relaxed state now... including me... but actually mine is worried but lazy state. Herm... I kept thinking, i know some of you thought of this as well... Why do we have Exam??? Perhaps some of the easiest answers would be "To let us know where we stand", "To evaluate us" or "To know how much we've learn". But really... is it that simple? I would like to hear some of your creative answers, comment this post with your answers. Mine? it's gonna be like this :
1. To use up all the extra paper the office accidentally bought extra last sem.
2. To punish us for not listening in class.
3. To make sure we work our a** off as the staffs are working hard during these periods too.
4. To make us increase the hit counter they have on lecturers site. As we need to go on their web to grab the ultimate lecture notes. Maybe they have a popular lecturer site contest.
5. Last but not least, to use the Exam Hall.... else... when do you find that place useful?

Study break is suppose to be a break from studying... isn't it? but... we end up studying more during study break than our normal school'ing/uni'ing (not unicorn, it's university). And... that reminds me... who says that uni is honey moon period deserves a whacking from us Uni students.... it's not... i can assure you that I'm working twice... three times... or 4x... more than during school.

Thanks for reading my post. I think next post is when i sum up what happened in April... if something else doesn't come up. Remember to reply this with your creative answer.

Lazy me~

Hi...

Long time no post, it's about half a month... and I'm back... with nothing...

So, imma try to crap for this post and compile what i did in the month of April in the next post. Please do remind me to do that... else... it's gonna be something else.

Recently, there's a lot of ideas popping into my mind like popcorn but the time does not allow me to grow these ideas into action. Time constraint i guess (always blame time when you're lazy). But, i'll let you in on some of my ideas for now. One is Road Trip, it's gonna be from Malacca to Penang (actually it's not my idea, grab it from you-know-who, and take claim). It's gonna be from Malacca --> Seremban --> Perak (we're definitely gonna do something here)--> Penang --> ??? (maybe somewhere else on our way back). But again... I haven't really look into it yet. Another idea is quite... a dare devil act (Codenamed: Dare Devil, DD). This is kinda confidential now... only few know. Message me if you really want to know bout the DD act.

Guess that's all for now. I should be revising for my upcoming exam now, but too lazy lar

Earth Hour 2009

Hi again. This time is a lil more frequent since it's like another post within 1 week time.


Errrrmmmm.... let's go back and talk about 28th March 2009. Did you switch off your light? Earth Hour is a simple act of shutting off your light, casting your vote against global warming. Many of you might ask, "How can switching off light help?". This act simply proves your concern to the deteriorating state of our mother Earth and is gladly to give your hands to help fight against global warming. Shutting off a few lights might not help much in the sense of electric saved but consider the impact it gave the world when people unite and give what they can to help reduce such deterioration. With such event, there will be some people who might not know much, pak cik (uncles) and mak cik (aunties) asking "Kenapa nak tutup lampu? (Why switching off the light?)". It is then they know, there is such threat as global warming. See the impact, if you don't... go do an eye check-up for the love of god.

Although this is the 1st time Malaysia involved in Earth Hour, it clearly proves "Malaysia Boleh". In support of such an act the people of Malaysia come together, united as one and answered the call for help from our mother Earth. KLCC switched off their light, KL Tower switched off their light, Sunway switched off their light, Pavilion KL switched off their light and I believe many more had switched off their light in support of Earth Hour. Oh I forgot, even my family switched off our house light.

What happened at KLCC


What happened around the world

As a supporter of Earth Hour, I'm very happy to see people around the world joining hands disregarding the barrier in languages and all. It's an effort to save our world.

I would like you to at least watch this last video if not the 1st two, think of what we have done to the Earth and what we have done for the Earth. Enjoy...

Earth Song - Michael Jackson

Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth is weeping shores?

Thanks for reading my long post and I hope you will support events which carry a similar objective as Earth Hour.
