Sometimes, things just happen when you least expect it. Why do you have to show up?

Benny.

They just need someone to talk to, to voice out whatever they wanted to say.

They do not need any help or advice, but will ask for it accordingly if required.

So, just sit back, and keep your ears open.

p.s. Ladies, please don't feel offended. Peace! :)

Time and tide

Five years ago, when I was still in high school,

a man once told me,

"When you are early, you are on time.

When you are on time, you are late.

When you are late, you are forgotten."

Seems ironic that I could remember his words all too well, understand it's meaning, and yet I did not compel myself to follow his advice.

It does feel like at that point, time was literally sticking a gun onto my head.

As the year draws close to an end, I looked back and thought to myself, "I've sure missed quite a hell lot of opportunities." Some may be life changing, some may be... well let's just say there's a reason behind everything that's happened.

How was 2010? It has been a whirlwind year. I could have be more decisive, spoken my mind, act faster, get productive and minimize those restless nights.

Whatever the cause may be, this shall not be the end, for from what I see in front of me, I could envision the beginning of an extraordinaire. Come next year, I have a lottery to win, several planes to catch, a world to explore, a passion to discover, and a soul mate to find.

Now dear fool, would you like to wake up to reality, or would you prefer to lay back in fantasy? I think I'll prefer to laugh it off.

I seem to find my thoughts become a reality, usually manifesting a few moments after that. Is that what one would call foresight? When it does, it comes back around and hits me at the back of my head, and I would be thinking again, "...now why I didn't I do that at the first place?"

I think I'm thinking too much, but I'm not thinking good enough.

She's leaving, on a jet plane;

don't know if I'll see her again.

The person in #3 is my Endless Story.

A year to patch things up...

2010-08-04T00:04:00.002+08:00

I need some distractions, a beautiful release.

Benny on four-eight-ten.

I dropped my glasses.

2010-03-07T14:43:00.004+08:00

No, it didn't break, literally.

On the 6th of March, 2010, at approximately 1430hours, Benny took off his glass(es) that he had on for more than a decade, and touched his eyeballs for the first time (although this time it was on purpose). xD

Now, to add about 10-15mins to the time taken to prepare for morning wake-up procedures that was already long to begin with. =\

Well at least I won't have anything in the way between my camera and my eye (ONLY that matters HUH?). Yes, I have a wider Field-of-View (FOV) now, I'm so going to pwn those lurking around the corners.

Critical Point

2009-11-03T14:07:00.004+08:00

It's less than a week to the biggest you-know-what-event in the histories' textbook!

I've got to make a move!

But how? when? and where?

Shopping Part II

2009-10-20T12:20:00.005+08:00

Lately, I've been thinking through some stuffs I had in mind.

Let's see...

A Crumpler camera bag = RM200
Camera tripod = RM300
New watch = RM400
New handphone = RM2000
Camera lens = RM3000
New laptop = RM5000
A date with her = priceless

You see, there's some things money just couldn't buy. For everything else, there's friends =)

I've been doing some shopping

2009-10-02T21:30:00.003+08:00

Literally.

That said, by attending each class and with 70 credits to buy into, 'shopping' for a suitable module to sign up for can be a tiring affair.

Not to mention that I was there during the opening hours from 9am-5pm/6pm almost everyday.

Now, it's time to decide.

A good start

2009-09-28T21:34:00.002+08:00

I met her again, today.

Quando, quando, quando...

Its been a while.

2009-07-26T10:17:00.004+08:00

I'm going back home. My home back in Malaysia. However, I'll miss this place that I call home for the past 10 months or so but like everyone else, it kinda feels like I arrived here yesterday. Especially so when the place is all cleaned up and emptied, just like when I first occupied this place.

Well, for those curious minds I have here my flight itinerary:

26th July 2009
LONDON-DUBAI: 2215-0815

27th July 2009
DUBAI-KL: 1030-2135

All times are local. I want char kuey teow or char siew fan served hot when I get out of the Arrival Hall in KLIA. Tyvn =D

What Goes Around, Comes Around.

2009-07-17T05:17:00.005+08:00

Hello everyone. Benny's back from his 20-day tour around Europe. =)

But he got sick in between and even now he's been lying in bed for 2 days after he returned from the tour. Maybe its because he didn't receive the blessings from his friends back home. =\
(No hard feelings - I remember all of you back home)

He had heaps of fun though, and saw many different sights.

This will end just here because Benny spilled some liquid onto his keyboard and it's all sticky and hard to type on.

Au Revior!

Will be continued when he's feeling better.

Travelling

2009-06-24T09:47:00.003+08:00

Did I mention that I'll be leaving tomorrow for a 20-day tour around Europe?

Oh, I just did. =p

Among the countries I'll be visiting:
France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium.

Yea, its in that order. Now, hopefully I'll be able to get online with my laptop (yes, I'm lugging my 15.4" around), AND post up something. Hopefully.

What a way to end my term here.

Till then, ciao!

The thing called 'Time'

2009-06-07T21:14:00.002+08:00

...that doesn't wait.

I've been wondering if time is passing too fast or too slow for me to comprehend objectively. Whether idling around (trying) to look for something to do, when there's actually a mountain of work to sort out. Sometimes its like the push-pull mechanism, the pull factor is there, but its lacking the push. Then again, I might be thinking too much.

On a side note, it's been like 5 years since:
"Good morning to the most honourable, to the most distinguished, and to the most dedicated..."
I can't believe I've actually said that. xD

h62 bpb - Final Presentation comin' up. And I hope it's going to be smooth sailing all the way (back home) from there on.

The 200th Day (or so)

2009-05-21T05:21:00.003+08:00

Today marks the (theoretical) 200th day of me being in Raleigh Park. Why? Because I've finished 2 jars of Vitamins with 100pills each. And assuming that I took 1 pill per day, when I'm in Raleigh Park of course, (I don't bring my vitamins with me during my travels, and provided that I remembered to take my daily intake as well)

Other than that, I'm all good and fine over here. Nothing much happening around other than I'm having my first paper tomorrow. =p

Ciao!

Formal Evaluation of Academic Remembrance

2009-01-11T05:42:00.006+08:00

Benny is having exams in the period of January the 12th to ~~the 23rd~~ May the 30th.

Blog blackout till then.

Good day to any passer-by!

The Month(s) That Was...

2008-11-10T07:37:00.002+08:00

Happy 20th Birthday Benny!

p.s. well, something has to be here on THIS day.. =D

?

2008-10-09T09:35:00.001+08:00

Woke up, grabbed my toiletries and headed to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash my face.

Went back to room and pulled the window blinds away.

Sky is dark.

Checked the time. It's TWO-THIRTY-AM in the MORNING!

Lol. I woke up thinking that it was time to prepare for classes. Hahah... blured.

good night.

Benny has finally graduated from a Point & Shoot (P&S) to a digital Single-Lens Reflex (dSLR) camera on this day of 23rd August, 2008 at 2100hrs (GMT+8).

Present at the convocation ceremony was the predecessor Canon Digital Ixus i zoom, along with the official sponsor, Madame JC. Mah. Meanwhile, the old and revered Canon Digital Ixus 700 had to forgo the occasion due to geographical complications.

The convocation ceremony also saw witness to the conferring of the Pentax K200D dSLR to the graduating candidate. When interviewed, the candidate expressed the utmost gratitude to the sponsor as well as promising the dawn of a new era in the photography chapter of his life.

Redang... Is that somewhere in Sabah?

2008-07-21T23:23:00.005+08:00

"No, it's off Terengganu la bro."

I seem not able to get the word Terrangganu right most of the time at my 1st attempt, pardon me.

So, back to this Redang Island trip recently, which was planned by my good ol' neighbours for a quick getaway weekend...

Off we go at around 1am, on the 18th of July, 3 families of 4-5 in their respective transports (namely a Sentra 1.6, Accord 2.4, & Hilux 2.5). Now, it would seem that the Sentra would be losing out here in terms of catching up with these 2 wheelies.

Nevertheless, being the high-tech fella that I am, getting lost in the highway won't mean much, as I have this A-GPS enabled phone that I used (albeit on and off) along the journey. However, the signal acquisition is something to be bothered with. 3-5mins? Come on =.=

So, I did get fell on and off sleep in the highway, probably because its too dark / nothing worth watching. That being said, parents told me I missed out on the sight of those petroleum burning towers at Kerteh/Paka (couldn't remember).

Finally reached Kuala Terengganu at approx 7am±, had breakfast at a random chinese kopitiàm, along with a quote from one of my neighbours, "(in canton) better eat all the pork you want now, as there is no pork available at the island!", which made us order BKT (yes, Bak Kut Teh) for breakfast in the morning! Meanwhile, I had a roast-duck-meat-wantan mee which wasn't really filling and so I gobbled up some BKT too.

Then, had a 'mini tour' around KT for a moment while our guide (Hilux driver / navigator) gets his direction to the jetty right. I just have to point out that there are like banks at almost every corner of the capital, mostly being unheard-of-banks and that almost every shop has trilingual names (Jawi, Malay, Chinese). Hmm...

Anyway, reached the jetty at 9am, the A-GPS isn't helping here, the map doesn't even show any jetty/port at that location. Boarded the ferry at 9.30am, finally reaching the island about an hour later. Turns out that the island is visible from the jetty, but only found out about this on the way back.

to be continued...

Vacation.

2008-07-17T01:01:00.005+08:00

Will be leaving in about 23 hours to Pulau Redang.

Family trip.

Plus neighbours.

By private cars even though petrol prices are insane.

Not to mention the toll charges.

But still,

a very much needed break for the whole family,

especially yours truly here.

The sky & the sea.

For your indulgence for 72 hours approx.

Mobilized

2008-07-08T23:35:00.006+08:00

I've just received this email:

"Subject: Your application to Nottingham UK"

Okay, so its finally here. With my heart racing, hands trembling while struggling to control the 1800dpi black rodent, I click on the email subject.

"CONGRATULATIONS on being accepted to the exchange programme!"

=D

And my rodent flew off the table from its Mantis mat. xD

"Kindly wait for letter/email for more info in the not too distant future."

Now, to decide whether, where, when, who or how.

3.5 иаиоMonths Part ıı

2008-06-27T22:51:00.016+08:00

It all started 3.5 nanomonths ago... From the date of the previous 'liable' post

So, what happened during that 3.5 × 10-9 months... Yea, I'm contradicting myself =p

15/5 Ended my finals. Went for the usual CoD4-C&C3:KW-session-afta-exams with da r0xx0rs gang.

18/5 Next up, was the dinner at Jyogoya (again) =D but someone haaaaaad to con me that I left my camera in the car during the rush...

The receipt for the night's high-end meal - immortalized in ones-and-zeroes.

Of burnt coconuts, pau-ing candles, Zippo shortages, and broken glasses. xD
たんじょうびおめでとう、(Master) Kylecvi-せんせい
Credits to ms` for the pic.

xx/5 - 31/5 Spent the rest of the month slacking away - replaying SC (yes the classic StarCraft), FEAR: Perseus Mandate, and the maybe occasional DotA match.

3x/5 Triggered my parents' sophisticated detection system - detects (but not limited to): you're not doing something worthwhile/not finding any internship/slacking-off-like-the-previous-3.5-months/not healthy lifestyle/not exercising/etc.

1/6 - xx/xx Being a teacher is a noble profession.
KUMON instructor rang me up to propose me to "help" out with the centre's activities. And so, here I am, "helping" out as a marker/teacher to guide children of mostly 7-16 yo for almost a month now.

Marking involves drawing circles - somewhat with extreme similarity to the logo.

9/6 iPhone 3G announced. =p

12/6 MGS4 released. =p

18/6 Oh, the STPM-ers of 07' on their placement in Public Uni. Seems like some of them got thrown to less preferred places - like SP, or unpreferred courses or maybe even got rejected outright. Uhmm... its the policy I suppose - meritocracy at its best.

Sidenote: Long Live Deus-Ascension - GG

19/6 Got my Undergrad Year 1 results. "It came out so fast?" - quote by xyz

Average results; although I do excel at RTS aka. ~~Real-Time Systems~~ Real-Time Strategy xD Have to owe some to Shinto, many thanks for having you as labmate; and those late-night brewed reports paid off rather well.

20/6 Bryan got his wii. He's wheeeeee!-ing instead of stuudehhh-ing. *edit with info from a reliable source*

21/6 Someone's birthday =)

27/6 My N-Gage decided to die out on me. And I have yet to receive my paycheck to buy me a new phone that's probably will be out later this year. Great. But then, I haven't even decide on which phone to go for. Have a few targets tho...

28/6 - xx/xx I live in the present. Till then, good night!

Before this summer ends...

2008-06-24T00:25:00.003+08:00

この夏が終わる前に。

Before this summer ends.

I'll definitely post something.

Bye. =)

dá Buffetiér

2008-03-23T22:50:00.008+08:00

Wow, one thing in life that I love most would be food. Be it Chinese cuisine, Japanese buffet, or even the Western occasional KFC (buffet?) or McD. I didn't really know when I started appreciating food, but usually when we (the family) eats, we eat our hearts out. And that would mean spending an hour (usually more) to eat, eat and eat while my parents would be chatting with the neighbours till the wee hours of the morning. Ok, maybe that chatting part applies only during "Open Houses", nevertheless, the community here is generally quite friendly and easy going, so all of us enjoy some dinner /w extra delights added. *bwahahahaha* somehow, due to these unavoidable events, I was honourably and aptly named, the Buffetiér >insert \bangga smiley here<.

Earlier I had my dinner at Jogoya, (じょうごや-Jyougoya) somewhat Japanese Buffet Restaurant at the Starhill Gallery. I mentioned somewhat here because the buffet doesn't seem to cater much Japanese food to me, or maybe it was me that didn't realize what I was eating. There's sushi, tempura, dim sum?, teppanyaki, bbq, miso soup, green tea ice-cream, some desert counter. Ok, quite a number of Japanese styled food after all. The lobster was nice, hehe and so are the oysters (thanks Bryan). Oh, there's even a bar where they serve alcohol - had a glass of some blue vodka mix and a glass of wine. Quite mild if you asked me. Didn't try out the AK-47 though. Left Jogoya with a full stomach and of course, satisfaction. Thanks to my mom's friend this time, not the neighbours. Neighbours-Chinese cuisine, Friends-Others. Too bad I didn't bring my digicam along though, but probably won't be able to muster decent pictures with that kind of lightning.

Well, as they say, "A meal's a meal, no matter it's a nice one or a-not-so-nice-one." - Chinese proverb. So, live to eat, not eat to live! いただきます！

Lunch

2008-01-18T16:44:00.000+08:00

Let's see, I've just had:

1 Prosperity Chicken Burger,
1 Chicken McDeluxe,
1 Cup of Green Tea,
1/2 Cup of Coke,
and 2 slices of mango

for my lunch.

Quite a healthy diet.

Happy birthday, Benny!

Day One

2007-09-17T20:44:00.000+08:00

Nope this blog isn't dying just yet.

Today was the first day of my first year in my first semester of the undergraduate programme. Many firsts call for a change, and so here I am, spending 10~20 minutes of my life blogging. =D

I drove to uni today, and I reached there rather late (Cheers to traffic jam and bad time keeping, how are you both doing?). But thanks to Malaysian "Rubber Time", I've made it to class just in time. Not much teaching done today, they all seem to be introductory meetings informing us about those course outlines and assessment methods like they always do. The ONLY thing is, they are going to do this 2-weeks-once Progression Test, which means more

xxx: WOI, game?
me: er.. can't. Having test 2morrow, gona study.
xxx: ... Just one game?
me: er.. oklah just one XD

haha, the feeling of guilt could never been better. Anyway, I hope that I would have no problem coping with my classes as the semester progresses (hehe, just need a consistent routine, right?).

On the other hand, I could still see most of my Foundation Batch of friends around, they didn't seem to have changed much apart from having difficulties finding a saloon. And almost half of my class (Electrical & Electronic Engg) are new students. Bleh, didn't get to know any of them yet. I'm bad at walking up to a person and say "Hi!" and even if I did, I don't think it might be audible to them either. =p

Timetable is quite flexible, 1-2 slots of free time between lectures, but no proper lunch time. hmm... and those 3 hours laboratory slots isn't starting till next month, so I'll *still* have some calm, free time for this period. Have to prepare for the coming storm thats due to hit soon. Till then, thanks for reading!

p.s. GG to all stpm takers this year having their trials at this moment!

Will of the Heart [II]

2007-05-30T15:52:00.000+08:00

Sorry if that other post doesn't make any sense (hoped so =P). I was just trying to describe the event in some other indirect, unconventional way. Haha... hope everything turns out right. If any of you readers manage to grasp any idea of what I wrote, please do tell =)

Anyway, sometimes, I do wish I had the power to travel back in time, in order to amend any of my shortcomings. But then again, that wouldn't be possible at the time being, and neither will it be plausible to do so, as any changes in the past (by the present) would alter history and logically, the present then will also be affected by those alterations. So, the best way would be to make the best of the present by using the lessons of the past in order to prepare for the future. Sounds easy, but everything has to start somewhere, including mistakes that have to be done to better guide us (rather, force us to recall something bad we've done) and then try our best to avoid it if we ever happen to encounter it again. However, some events are also somehow pre-determined, as people say, destiny, or maybe its just a stroke of luck, whether its good or bad; and its also a matter of time, when it decides to strike.

Well, I guess I'll have the mobility factor with me again for these periods.

Will of the Heart [I]

2007-05-30T15:30:00.000+08:00

I never would have thought that I would post with this title that has been lying dormant for so long. I am sorry for the events that occurred. If only, I had been more decisive, if only I had a stronger will to do something, if only I could turn back time...

Reconstructing the pieces that seemed to lead to that tragic incident...

29/05

0100Hrs
Ended 2 rounds of DOTA with results that seemed so desired.

1000Hrs
Awaken from slumber from the disturbance of renovation works by neighbours.

1230Hrs
Screened the day's newspaper only to find more articles related to on-the-road violence.

1300Hrs
Worked on a worksheet for about 30 minutes and then took a quick rest before heading to the center.

1500Hrs
Departs and arrives at the destination at 1530Hrs.

1550Hrs
Gave up on hunting for free parking space after repeated failures at securing one. Ended up parking inside the mall.

1600Hrs
Spent hours sorting out problems in the worksheets while opting to not refer to the solution booklet, at the expense of a few braincells.

1900Hrs
With occasional trips to the restroom over the past few hours, initiates a more relaxed composure of work.

2100Hrs
Begins to worry over the extended parking hours of the vehicle left at the mall. Calculations showed that the vehicle should be retrieved before 2150Hrs to avoid excessive surcharge of parking fee.

2130Hrs
Left the center at the approach of an incoming storm. Attempts to reach the extraction point before the storm failed.

2150Hrs
Observes the time in vain as the final hour came to being.

2200Hrs
Dashed to the opposite site of the mall despite the subsiding storm. Delayed for another 10 minutes over the absence of a chicken burger.

2210Hrs
Departs to pickup GOAT, a package of high importance after successive orders by the higher ups.

2230Hrs
Arrives at the extraction point of GOAT safely, where package was in a high risk situation, open to an assault by the enemy. Radio-ed HQ of safe retrieval of package. Then set course to base for completion of the mission.

2235Hrs
Disruptive weather pattern rendered route to base a high risk. HQ advised caution while traveling.

2245Hrs
Abnormal behaviour of enemy convoy detected at underpass. Attempts to divert vehicle direction failed. Vehicle skidded out of control. Frontal collision inevitable.

2250Hrs
Damage assessment: HIGH damage to front sections of vehicle, MEDIUM-LOW damage to enemy convoy. Disembarked from vehicle to negotiate terms with enemy officials. Demands were put on hold, radio-ed HQ for reinforcements while awaiting further orders.

2255Hrs
Enemy officials radio-ed own reinforcements to bring in vehicle extractors. Similar off road blockades detected shortly after crash.

2300Hrs
HQ advised that multiple blockades were detected along the whole stretch of underpass. Confusion then had lead to delay of the arrival of reinforcements.

2310Hrs
Enemy vehicle extractors bearing the name: INITIAL-D arrived at scene. Enemy terms and conditions were still being sorted out while awaiting reinforcement from HQ.

2320Hrs
Higher ups from HQ arrived and assume control of mission. Decided to reevaluate the demands at a bunker station nearby. Neutral peace keepers roped in to relief tension buildup between parties involved. Meanwhile, package has been delivered back to base to avoid any crisis and delays.

2340Hrs
Both sides finally agreed to each other terms and mission was brought forward to the attention of Global Command based within a common territory.

30/05

0000Hrs
Mission debriefing and report at the Global Command base. Assessment to damaged vehicle to be verified and will be kept in view for any further developments.

0100Hrs
Mission operative, exhausted and slightly traumatized from the incidents of the day, recalled to the barracks for rest.

1000Hrs
Wakes up from this nightmare.

Unfortunate events do occur at any given point in time, and anywhere one might be. But it disturbs me a bit that it has to happen to me at that time on a given seemingly ordinary day =\

3.5 иаиоMonths

2007-05-19T14:55:00.000+08:00

Finally, here comes a much needed break after months of number crunching and carbon-copying formulas into my brain that somehow doesn't seemed to fit into common context at the moment. They make sense to me for brief moments but then goes all the way to the realm of confusion, especially in the midst of a practical application, say an exam =\ Well, I hope all goes well in the final papers, for that 25% scholarship!

Roughly 14 months ago, who could have thought that I would end up studying there. Its been quite disappointing at first, partly due to my hectic travel experience =D Then things get better as I gained access to a convenient means of mobility that Getz me almost everywhere I would like to go. (Although it was quite tiring to drive 60km everyday...) Nevertheless, the experience I went through in return had taught me how to look at life in a different and memorable way THANKS! 8-)

Anyway, I discovered another one of life's greatest gift - Family: "The place before heaven is a happy family". Being in a harmonious family whose roots traced back to the ancestors with ever expanding branches, and living through those moments where family members would share each other's burden and joy, is just one of the reason why I would want to live life to its fullest.

Okay, moving on I would clarify some stuff here. 3.5 nano-months doesn't exactly meant 3.5 x 10-9 months; rather its just something that I would like to иаио-fy with. It also implies that I'll have roughly 3½ months of break now... something dreaded or welcomed? I'll find out soon enough, hopefully by September '07.

In the mean time, I've actually taken the initiative to list out some possible stuff to tinker with, i.e. mess with vista-to-be-woes, creating a new template for this blog, doing chores around the house *heh*, watch movies *grins*, grab a copy of SC2 when its out, and of course, update my blog. Probably will be going for a vacation sometime next month, looking forward to it =)

On a side note, I've finally updated my blog! Cheers to those who persistently bombard my cbox in an attempt to force me into submission, thanks =P

A Fresh New Start!

2007-05-06T22:07:00.000+08:00

Glad I was given a another chance,

at the cost of erasing my history...

I have to redeem myself now,

as chances do not come by often;

Let my memories of the past,

speak for me in the future.

People tend to have the habit to take things for granted. Some seem to refuse to make an effort to accomplish something until the very last minute. For as long as I can remember, I have been reminding myself to be grateful for everything that I have. However, many times I have failed doing so, things are taken for granted, opportunities missed, and therefore, a sense of guilt faintly echoed through me.

At some point in our lives, unfortunate events are imminent...

Earlier just now, my mother became a victim of a snatch theft. Fortunately, she escaped with minor bruises on her arm. Her handbag, is safely tucked within her arms and that dirt on wheels dashed away empty handed. However, it is the outcome of that incident made me feel that I should have been at her side to protect her. (In fact, I was barely a few meters away from her when the situation unfolds.) From that time onwards, I embraced the importance of treasuring loved ones.

Okay, “the past is the past; what is important is the future.”

And so I made a pact with myself. A pact that I promise to uphold for as long as there is blood flowing in my veins.

Thank you very nice!

Its been quite a while since the trip to Langkawi. The trip has its ups and downs, but most notable would be our "saviour", Auntie Chan who provided us with transport services that doesn't choke us poor students =D

> Well, this is the humble van that we drove around in Langkawi. Hehe, its a great vehicle actually, able to fit 8 persons in it comfortably, friendly to kancil drivers =p and also easy on the fuel. Just don't expect it to pick up onto a Serena 2.0.

Yeap, we stayed at Langkasuka Beach Resort for the trip. Comfy room with a few exceptions; fan was missing, and the air-con just couldn't keep up with the amount of heat generated.

However, the best thing we enjoyed at the resort was probably their private beach and breakfast.

(Haha, pardon my attempt at stitching the pictures, actually requires more touch up, especially the horizon line.)

And there's even a cable car service in Langkawi! The ride was quite worthwhile, costs us rm15/pax if I'm not mistaken. Too bad the suspension bridge was closed due to the foggy weather conditions (not to mention the strong winds - all of us didnt expected that!).

The view of Langkawi at about 700meters above sea level.

> "Cheese... Burger!" Haha, this picture was taken at the top with the help of one of William's many friends.

We've also paid a visit to the:

Seven Wells Waterfall (Telaga Tujuh)

Field of Burnt Rice
- however the only burnt rice we found was this bowl in a display box -

Mahsuri's Tomb
- This place is quite commercialized now, they'll charge
a fee for photo-taking within the compound -

And then finally settling down at Tanjung Rhu's beach:

- No idea what we're all looking at... -

*On our way back we've actually passed by several places, but nothing much worth mentioning though =P

Our final destination (not the roller coaster thingy, mind you) was the Eagle Square.
(*thx aaron)

- Quite magnificent ain't it? -

- Took a groupie with the aid of a passer-by. -
Hey, I've helped them take their picture(s) as well. Mutual relationship =D

Finally, I would like to thank everyone that made this outing successful and enjoyable. It has been a very memorable experience to me and hopefully, there'll be more in the future!

Thank You Very Nice!

Oh, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2007!

Not to be forgotten...

Well, after months of hesitation (and procrastination), I finally have the urge to create a blog for myself. I wanted to pen down my thoughts and events that happen in my life; so the digital version of my journal would be quite suitable and sufficient for me to post most (if not everything) that I have always wanted to say. In fact, this blog has actually started quite long ago, created on my birthday but somehow some events occurred and Blogspot doesnt want to accept my password. End up creating a new one =|

There goes the long introduction.

There are many things that I wanted to blog about, my birthday, the recent Kumon camp, the fire that happened a few weeks ago, and some other stuffs that I couldnt really recall now. Boy, how time flies...

I guess I'll keep it short for now, exams are around the corner and I that I wanted to aim for better results this time. (Quite disappointed with my previous tests). I'll probably update with longer post(s) after I finish my exams 2 weeks later. Till then, thanks for reading!
