Langkawi 5D5N
I quickly put on my jacket once stepped into the ferry, it was soooo freakin cold inside, we can't see through the window as it had all covered by mist. We arrived at Langkawi Island around 10 am, and get our car from the travel agency just beside the jetty. Other than that, we also purchased the Island hopping tickets, Pulau Payar Snorkeling package, Underwater World and Cable car ticket from that agency. Done the stuff, and we went to collect our rented car, WTF the oil tank was almost empty, probably it was just enough for us to get to the nearest petrol station at Kuah Town. Pumped RM50 into the tank and searched for our way to Langkasuka Beach Resort. It was pretty far from the jetty, it took us 40 minutes to arrive after kena confused by a few shitty signboards. We took a glance on the beach right at the back of the resort, and had pool game on the cafe whilst waiting for the room-service to clean up our room. Checked-in around 2.30pm and had our brunch at some cafe near Cenang Beach. We also bought some cheapo beach pants at some shops nearby, and jumped into the sea afterwards. Along the beach, I would say 90% are foreigners, all wearing bikinis. :p Around 6pm, we get back to the resorts, and had beach volleyball games on the beach. Jeff's toe was hurt accidentally when kicking the balls, and Hian wen's get scratched by some cracked shells. Then, we headed back to the resorts and washed away salty water on the resort’s water pool until 8pm. Our baths took 1 hour every time, since there's only one bathroom. After shower, we drove back to Kuah Town and looked for dinner, and get some beers and liquors at a Duty-Free shop. Got 6 bottles of Corona, 1 vodka, and 1 Tequila. Back to Resorts on 12am, and had some card games, and finished up 5 bottles of corona as 'warming up'.:D Opening the Corona was a headache, instead of using the can opener which we had forgotten to buy, we opened the bottle by using the spoon's tip. LoL
The next day on 18th, woke up 7 in the morning, and had our breakfast at the airport nearby. It was damn expensive wei, my fried rice cost RM7.50 each, without anything, only rice! WTF! Anyway, we were out of time coz our island hopping trip fell on 9.30 am. We 'torture' the car to the Underwater World and waited for the van to pick us up. And guess what? Unlike the other agency, a Malay-po with a motorbike came to us and led us to the jetty 10 minutes away from there. Stupido!! We hopped into the boat and 'flew' off the jetty. The boat ride was really excited, the whole boat was lifted by the strong waves, and struck back to the water, the impact was kinda strong. It was really fun, and dangerous if you're not holding the sides. There are 3 stations for island hopping trip, Pulau Daya Bunting, Eagle feeding, and Pulau Beras Basah. We skipped the Pulau Daya Bunting because there was really nothing looks fun for us. Except some monkeys, which were really naughty, cute, and really acted like human being, they knew how to open the plastic bag wrapping the Gardenia bread, the paper wrapping the Halls Sweet, I was really stunned, didn't know they're so smart. Next, we were drove off from Pulau Daya Bunting after 15 minutes and arrived near some mangrove trees park. There were a lot of eagles looking for foods on the sea. As told by the tour guide, there are 4 types of eagles. We had our last stop at Pulau Beras Basah, and played around in the sea for a while. As compared to the island hopping trip that we had in Pangkor Island 2 years ago, this one was really super boring, the only fun thing was the boat ride and raced with other boats on the sea. We were sent back to the jetty on 2pm and drove back to our resorts. Took some rest, and a shower, and went back to Kenny Rogers at the jetty for lunch until 6pm. We also shopped at the jetty for a while before going back to our resort.
Hours later, we're out for a view at the Eagle Square and then went to the Duty-Free shop again to get 12 bottles of Kampai and 6 bottles of Heineken, since we planned to finish up the Vodka and Tequila on the last night. We played card games again on Langkasuka Beach until 2am with Kampai and Heineken, the only rules was to finish up all those proportionally. None of us get drunk, but everyone seemed going to toilet frequently, stupid beers! And getting beer bellys for sure!
The third day, we had our snorkeling trip at Pulau Payar Marine Park. We were waiting at the lobby at 9.30am for the bus to pick us up to the jetty. All the tourists were gathered and took a ferry to Pulau Payar consequently. Arrived at Pulau Payar around 11pm, and we were given instruction by tour guide. Next, we collected our life jackets, snorkeling gears, put on sun cream and go into the sea. There were 2 areas, snorkeling area, and boat area, and a floating platform on the middle. I'm just too afraid to go that far, while the rest of my friends snorkeled all the way there. Hence I was just snorkeling around the middle part of snorkeling are, which weren't much corals. We had our lunch at 1pm and took a rest on the jetty. We also witness to the shark feeding by tour guides, the smallest one will have 1-2 feet long, and the largest one might reach 4 feet in length. After wards, we went back to the sea until 3pm. and helped the tour guide to clean the island up and refreshed ourselves. Get into the ferry again and slept all the way back to Langkawi island. Took a bath back in our resort, and out for dinner at Seafood restaurant. Just like what I was told by forummers, seafood at Langkawi is really damn expensive, but thanks god they're fresh and delicious. After dinner, it was too early for our booze time :p, we went back to the same duty-free shop again for some chocolates and liquors. I got some chocolates, 2 whiskeys for my dad and some cocktails for myself. Liquors at Langkawi are really dirt cheap man! Later in the night, we had card games on the beach and time for our Vodka and Tequila. We blended them with some Sprite as well to prevent getting drunk so fast. Finished up the Vodka, and Ee Hau started to vomit on the beach. As the game goes, each of us started to drunk, ended up everyone slept on the beach. In the end, Ee hau woke us up when he felt better, and get back to our room together. Thanks God we were still able to make our way back. After all, we weren't drunk like others, still movable with our legs. Haha...alcohol makes me feel fuckin good...(but once a while) xD
The last day on 20th, we had our breakfast in the resorts, packed our stuff, and checked out. After checking out, we went to Underwater World and subsequently Cable car. Nothing much in underwater world, but almost all the species there can be seen in the other aquariums. Wasted my RM15, or I can buy some more liquors. :p Later in the afternoon, we made our way to Cable car. It was a really hot afternoon or maybe I was wearing a damn black tee. We queued up for half an hour to get our gondola up the mountain. The ride was short, but really steep and high. Arrived at the first platform, and then the second one. The wind was really strong, and you can’t actually feel the heat of sun anymore although it was really hot. Really wish to experience when it’s right after raining, or early in the morning, might be something like Genting.
We also had our snacks time up there. We get down the mountain around 4.30pm and went to the airport to return our cars. In the airport, we repack our belongings and checked-in. Our flights were scheduled at 8.15pm, thanks God there's no delays. The whole journey to LCCT took us 45 mins. We left the arrival hall of LCCT at 10pm, and took our dinner at McD, LCCT. At around 1.30am, we took Aerobus from LCCT to KL Central to catch our train back to Ipoh. Right after the bus drove off LCCT, I started to fell into sleep. Honestly I was really exhausted after sleeping for few hours nights before. For me, I felt like the whole bus ride took only 15 minutes, but in fact it took 1.5 hours until my friend woke me up.
Entered KL Central, we went up to the KTM intercity departure hall and waited for our train at 6.30am. Once again I can’t stand anymore, slept on the table at KFC while my friends were 'chor dai di'ing aside. Before catching our train at 6.40pm, I went to 7-eleven to get a pack of Oreo and mineral water for breakfast. Guess what, I continued my sleep again before the train moved away from KL Central. Ended up my Orea and mineral water were remained unopened until we arrived at Ipoh at 10am. My mom came to the station and sent us back home respectively. It was a really wonderful trip, having really lots of fun(esp when torturing the Corolla) and fresh stuff. If possible, a 6D5N trips would be better for us to explore the whole island. Cheers... :)
p/s: not much photos taken, i'll try to uploads a few if possible, and sorry for my poor writing...:( hehe..

25th Nov
After I finished my previous entry, I went for a nap until 6.30p.m. As discussed, my housemates and I went for a dinner at Flaming Steamboat, which is just beside the Sunway Pyramid. I didn't eat too much as I’m not a steamboat kaki, my stomach really has very limited spaces. Thanks Bryan as our "Transporter", and it's really my pleasure to meet you. We met before in California Fitness, just that I never expected we'll get to know with each other one day. LoL. Thanks to all of my housemates willing to share their precious time celebrating my birthday, I’m really grateful of being your housemates. Thanks for all the cares, tolerance, happiness from you guys, it's really a joy to stay with you all.
Right after the dinner around 10.30pm, instead of having some kind of Indonesian style 'belasah', 'torture', 'splashing' party, I ran away to Asia Café to play some pool. I dragged Xun He and met with Song and his friend who were already there. Well, my skill doesn't allow us to share a same table; it's just a waste of time as I’m playing. We opened up a new desk and start our own practice, not game...I really addicted with pool lately, ever since I played it last Saturday with Song and Ronald. It's not something you can perfect within a short period of time, only practice makes it perfect. It’s gonna be my diversion while studying at Taylor's next year.
We cabut’ed(LoL) around 1 am and went back to our respective house. Rather than slacking with dramas, movies, documentaries, I followed Song sending another friend,Vivi to the airport. Picked her up around 2 am, had a light meal at Mamak stall, and headed to LCCT consequently. Entire journey with average speed of 90km/h, it took us 45 minutes since Song had totally numb with the route. That was certainly my first time to LCCT, it was duh...more like a train station/bus station than an airport. It was so much crowded than I ever expected. After she checked in with luggage and stuff, a little chit-chating and stuff, we left the airport and headed back to Sunway. Honestly, if I were the driver, I’ll really be numb with the traffic, you won’t be seeing a car within 2-3 km, or you might want to say it was already 4 am. Thanks Song for being such an experienced driver, his endurance and driving skill are seriously impressive. Just within my expectation, I’ll be reaching home no early than 5 am today. LoL...
Anyway...It’s already 6am over right now, gonna be going to BB to shop around later around 12 noon, I really got to catch some sleeps right now. Once again, thanks for all the wishes and time, I’ll never forget about all of you!! Gd night guys…Ciao!! ^^

yaHoo!! I'm FRee.....
Frankly say, this sem is kinda stressful for me, especially after the midterm result came out, as I’m trying to perfect almost everything. It's time to lay aside all the worries and tension.
Thanks God, I proved to myself that perseverance + courage will beat everything. I sincerely appreciate all of my 3rd sem friends, u guys really give me a lot of motivation and courage. Thank You so much guys!! I was really having a fun and marvellous time with all of you. Just.....everything came too late, it's too late for us to meet each other, this sem is really flying, I’m glad that I get to know with so many nice guys....it's just like dreaming in my mind right now, when everything comes to an end. Hope our friendships will last longer than ever. Unforgettable memories. Seriously, I had never regret for taking 3rd sem. Our friendships really mean a lot to me. I sincerely wish every one of you do well in the coming semester. This is definitely the most wonderful sem in my entire CIMP life.

sigh...missed the class
Damn, presentation nightmare struck me again, having 2 presentations on the coming 2 weeks. Review presentation-curve sketching, and ISU presentation. Thankfully, for the ISU presentation, we're allowed to choose our preferred group mates, or I’ll be really fed up working with some idiots. As for the review presentation, I’m gonna prepare the slide and some questions during this weekend, I really hate staying back after class and discuss about it with group mate. I admit that I can do much better on my own, since I used to accept others' ideas to avoid all sorts of unnecessary arguments, but then the product is not what I wished to see. Perhaps I really need to learn how to carry out group works nicely.

29 Oct
Phew...I’m having a really fatigue day. Was watching drama until 2.30am, woke up at 6am, caught a taxi at 7.25am, arrived at Sunway at 10.45am, went to class on 12.15pm, finished class at 4.00pm, and had my computer turned on 5pm. Really damn sleepy wei....The first time I almost fell asleep on class when lectures going on. Perhaps I need to prepare some toothpicks next time during such kind of situation, to keep my eyes open. Gonna get some sleeps now before having dinner with friends later. Ciao~

24 Oct
I'm gonna finish my CIMP very soon, a total of less than 4 weeks of classes. Final exam fell on the last week of November, and my last paper ends on my birthday, what a coincidence, wish I can do really well on that. Am gonna be doing engineering after this, most probably at Taylor's UC. I had been scratching my head on all these stuff throughout these months. It's a twinning program, BEng(1+2) or MEng(2+2). They're both undergraduate. Humbly say, I can get into both types of degrees, but what really matters me is money. 2 years in UK is gonna cost up to RM200k+-, and I guess my parents can hardly afford that within 2 years. Furthermore, each year spent in Malaysia costs around RM40k. So the total would be either 240k or 280k. Hence, my friend and I came out with a solution, instead of 1+2, we make it as 2+1, but as far as I heard, in order to be recognized by IMechE, ECUK (Institution of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Council of UK), one has to study at a particular university for 2 years, or he/she is just a normal engineer after graduation, and not eligible to own any title(CEng, IEng, Ir and so on), which is valuable for engineers. On the other hand, I received a different idea from the UK side(U of Birmingham and IMechE, ECUK), ECUK claimed that it's all depends on the school itself, while UoB replied that spending 1 year in their school is always alright for a recognized engineer.
Until we went to Taylor's UC yesterday, the counselor fetched us back to out very first problem, which is spending 2 years in UK is a must. Sigh...and the Malay told that there's another Engineer Board, IEB, International Engineering Board. I went home and searched google'ed that, guess what? IEB is Institution of Engineering, BANGLADESH. WTH!! I doubted that she had outdated, or she failed in memorizing stuff. Whatever it is, I’m gonna submit the application form after I came back from Deepavali, as well as calling the UK side once again to double confirm.

Sept 23 : (
Frankly, I started to feel the stress. It's <2 months away from final exam. Before this, I promised to my own that I’ll get average 80 and above, but I’ve only got 78.8 so far. I received my previous MCV4U test paper just now; I don’t know what to say about that. Sometimes I really hate about prediction, but I’m kind of person who likes to know what's going to happen next therefore I’ll have preparation in my heart. So, I looked throughout the whole test paper before I handed it. Check thoroughly, and I doubted 3 marks will be deducted. Guess what? I got 23/30, 7, seven, sette, sept, 七 marks had been deducted!! I was about to thump the table, and subsequently the 'F' word. I was seriously detested about myself, I had underestimated the question. I'm not longer standing on 87, probably 83/84. I don't know what to do, but bringing the disappointment all the way back home, and write them down instead of venting in front of friends.
I really can't afford to lose any of my marks, but I have to boost them up instead of feeling bad. I can't be the top, but I really hope that I’m touching the top. Well, contribution, sacrifices, willingness, and dedication are very much needed; I admit that I was playing kinda hard these days. No problem, uncountable tests and quizzes still around, I promised to me for the one last time, I’ll strive to do well in coming course works. I really feel sorry. :(

An entry?
Schooling is going on pretty well, but I really hate the Advanced Function (MHF4U) class. I felt it's just wasting my time learning some crap formulas and applications which are apparently useless and make no sense. I had actually learnt Advanced Function & Introductory Calculus (MCB4U) last semester, but I did pretty badly, hence I decided to retake the whole damn thing. What happens in this semester is that particular course had been split into two parts, which is Advanced Function, and Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) (First 3 chapters from Geometry course which is no longer available). MHF4U is first 3 chapters of MCB4U, or you can call it 'basic'. Yeah, I’m doing both of them. What I really hate is, MHF4U uses a whole range of different formulas for all the 3 chapters, which are really crappy in my mind, furthermore, the application of knowledge is totally different with MCV4U course, since the formulas used are all different, and I would seriously prefer using MCV4U's formulas because they appear to be much much more sensible than those 'crappy calculation'. I have to admit that I score better in my MCV4U although it's much difficult than MHF4U, and I don’t feel like giving a damn to the MHF4U. I had calculated my average marks, given I score 90% in MCV4U, my average mark will breach the barrier of 80% even though I dropped that crappy course, or I can still take it to spend my time learning some crappy thing, which is not really harmful in my mind.
There's another outing with the trekking club this Saturday, still considering whether or not going, because there will be river crossing and stuff, not hoping to get myself wet after all. You may wear sandals, but it's a 2 hours trek, going down the mountain with bad footwear is suffering. I'm so afraid to fall sick again (Felt I wasn’t in good condition for a trek as I fell sick 2 weeks ago), sprained ankle and stuff, it's so dreadful.
Alright guys, it's time for surfing...Ciao!!

It Rained 07.08.08
Why did I say it was an unfortunate rain? I bought 2 tubs of protein and creatine powder through the line. Supposedly today I thought to get back to my house once the class dismisses, and get myself ready to Sunway Pyramid for fitness. Before that, I should have done the payment to the supplement company before 5 pm; therefore they can ship the product to me, such that I can receive it by Friday. Drizzle seemed doesn’t get better after 5 pm, so my friend and I decided to go to Orange Restaurant to buy a waffle, and catch the bus back at the side gate. Well...we made it eventually.
Here comes the disaster, we were almost the last person to hop into the bus. Although the bus had no more seats for us anymore, luckily there was still plenty of space for us to stand on. The bus moved on, and stopped simultaneously, and passengers are getting more and more within a short distance. UNTIL the bus stop at Sun-U Residence, whole damn large gang of Malay aunty stepped into the bus, I would call them a 'gang', because it was really a HUGE gang, about 10-15 people. Too bad, they successfully made themselves into the bus, and we moved on. I pressed the ring and planned to stop in front of Sunway Medical Centre, and planned to make my own way back to my house, but the problem was, I can’t even make my own way out of the bus, ended up the bus driver shouted on 'Siapa nak turun?!!', nobody replied and I kept silence.
The bus stopped again after 5 minutes at Lagoon Perdana, all the aunty went down, a second gang came into the bus again, and I was thinking WhereTF is all these guys going, around 15 people again. Luckily most of them are males, I can tolerate better with males. After that stop, I had no choice anymore but got to go down the bus at Palm Ville Condominium, which is around 5 minutes walk to my house. I pressed the button, the bus stopped, and I 'shouted' 'Excuse Me' all the way going down the bus.
Phew....the moment out from the bus was damn relaxing; imagine when you're in a gathering suddenly go into a silent room. I fucking told myself NEVER ever take a bus going back again even though it's raining cats and dogs, I would rather get myself wet, but seriously don’t wanna challenge my patience once again, taking a bus on peak hours is not something better than walking back!! Never ever fucking try it!!

Gunung Datuk (2-8-08)
After 45 minutes on the highway, we stopped at Seremban's R&R to take a break, and breakfast for some of them. I bought a pack of Oreo’s at Shell petrol station, in case I have insufficient of food. We continued our journey after 15 minutes and headed towards Rembau. The whole journey took us around 1 hour and 30 minutes. We reached the foot of the mountain around 10 am and started our trek.
We had our warm up done in a very interesting way, which was a very simple exercise, but it actually works out every part of our body. We stepped into the mountain on 10.15am by crossing a river, continued by climbing up the mountain. Gunung Datuk is 870m high, and took around two and a half hours to get to the peak with moderate speed. After 15 minutes of trek, I found my stamina is getting weaker due to the almost 60 degree inclined path on the first part of trek. I had been taking rests for few times within an hour. The 2nd part of the trek is basically pretty smooth, we just need to walk on the slope, and sometimes climb up some rocks and jump over some trunks. Well, I was in the second last team of the trek, due to our weak stamina and lack of experiences on trekking. During our journey to the peak, we were caught in some rain, but luckily it was not heavy, and it actually fresh us up, not bad though. The last part of the trek was towards the peak, lecturer kept on convincing us by telling how close we are to the top, and giving us something to chew with, it was really encouraging.
At around 1.30pm, we reached the top, where there was a flat area for us to have our lunch and rest. Right behind the area, there were some HUGE rocks, stacked up together naturally and formed the peak. We needed to get to the peak by climbing up the ladder, which was actually betting our life to get the breathtaking scenery; one slip may cause unwanted fatality. I took care of every of my steps and made sure that I was brave enough to get to the peak, which was really dangerous I would say. However, I managed to climb up to the peak finally, and I was really excited at that moment. We took quite a lot of photos on the peak and stayed up there for around 30 mins long. After we had our group photos up there, everyone came down one by one carefully and take our very last rest before we go down the mountain.
At 2.30pm sharp, we started to go down the mountain team by team. Due to the drizzle, the path was somehow slippery, we needed to have a very nice grip on the surface, and we held on branches and root all the way down the mountain to prevent ourselves from falling down. Some SIS 'child' who were still pretty naive, were RUNNING down the mountain, but in the end they made it successfully without any unwanted injuries. We arrived at the bottom after one and a half hour, which was a pretty satisfying duration for me. Going down is so much easier, but it kills our leg strength very much.
Some of them took of their shoes and rinsed their leg into the mini-waterfall to refresh them, while I just washed my hand and necks to fresh up myself. While waiting for the rest of the guys to come down, we had a chat with lecturers, and finally we went into the changing room to get our cloths changed. After 1 hour, everyone get back to the bus, and we headed back to Sunway. During our journey back, we shared our food together by passing around in the bus, it was pretty fun and enjoyable. I slept in the bus after 30 minutes, until we reached the toll plaza of LDP. We arrived at Sunway around 6.30pm. I had my dinner with my buddy at restaurant nearby and walked back to our house respectively.
Overall, personally I would say this is a very nice and enjoyable experience for every one of us. I believe that every trekker was really enjoying the trek, although it was somehow tough for beginners. I've got to know with a lot of friends, and got myself close to the nature. In another sense, I had also strengthened up my stamina, and I’m really looking forward to the coming trek.

my soul had finally back..
2 days after, I was again impressed with their efficiency and professional. I received a call from their staff this afternoon, claiming that my laptop's motherboard had been replaced, and required a fee of RM85 for new Windows' installation, since the previous one was seriously corrupted. Without a doubt, I agreed with that, since I really don't hope to encounter any problem when installing the Windows myself. Right after 1 hour, I received another call again said that the installation had been done and everything was tested okay...LoL...I was like..doubting that if it's really done...LoL!!Since I had never seen such kind of high quality and efficiency service.
Yeah...it was the motherboard problem. Luckily I had extended my warranty period when I bought my laptop last year, otherwise I'm really gonna spend 1k+ to repair my laptop, which is capable of buying a new desktop with decent spec.
It's already reaching midnight...I'm gonna sleep guys...guess I'll have a good night sleep tonight because my aircond had been fixed as well...See ya guys..^^

1st day of 3rd sem
I woke up on 7.30a.m., spent some time to tidy up myself and go to college. My classes are on last 2 periods, hence as I mentioned, I got to be early to school in order to change my periods. From what I was offered, it was sucky, they can’t move my last period's maths, but I was offered to drop my 5th period's maths and take up 1st period's chemistry. I was OMG...what the hell I should be doing within that period of time (P2-P5), which is kinda long, total of 5 hours. So I ended up not doing anything with my timetable, and wait for lunch hour with friends on period 4 and attend classes. Before that, I also went up to library to check out some books relate to aviation, and I found 2 books are talking the making of KLIA and Singapore Int. Airport. They were pretty impressive; both airports from zero became world's best airports.
I went into period 5 class; it was Calculus & Vectors, taught by Ms. Najjar, who's my Calculus (Advanced Function & Introductory Calculus) lecturer during last semester. However, she didn't come to class today and wrote us a short letter saying that she'll be away for a wedding dinner back on her home country. She'll be back on this Thursday and assigned us some works to deal with. On my period 6 class, which was Advanced Function, it's pretty much same with Calculus; most of its syllabus are same with Calculus since they were taken from Calculus. The classroom was totally crammed and roughly 80% of us are boys, and almost all of us are gonna do Engineering, pretty cool huh.....
After classes, I met some friends who had gone to Monash at the foyer, had some chats with them and walked back to house. Besides, I went to Sunway Lagoon Club to collect my graduation photo. It was my first time been to the club, I felt comfortable when I stepped inside. The decoration and its design indulged me...If I were to stay at Sunway for the next 4 years; I would really consider joining it instead of California fitness since there's gym in it as well.
Well, I’m kinda sleepy now guys...after waiting for classes impatiently and deadly in school for 5 hours, some more I guess I don’t really have nice sleep last night. Got to watch movie 1st, get my dinner, and gonna go to bed earlier tonight....See ya guys... :)

Back to sunway's life
After having a fairly short 4 weeks break, I’m back to Sunway. Arrived at Sunway around 11am. When I stepped into my room, my feeling was kinda weird, felt like I have never had a room like this. It was quite dusty although the windows were closed. I unpacked my stuff and started to fix my damn laptop. I had my lunch at pyramid with friend and got myself some foods and snacks. I spent an hour in Jusco, and I was kinda lost, not knowing what I should buy. Buy yeah, eventually I got most of the essential stuff for me to survive in the night, well, some are just to fill up those blanks in my mind. Came back and continued to fix my stupid laptop.
About my F'ing laptop, just now I had formatted my laptop for the 7th time in the week, by using the recovery disc, because I didn't bring it back along with me month ago. It was the damn display driver problem, or probably the display card problem (hopefully it's not!!). Now it's kinda alright, but god bless it would serve me well after this, or else I would send it to the HP service centre.
Alright guys...got to re-install back those programs into my laptop...Ciao ya guys...^^

Blood Test
Yes...the report arrived on yesterday. Today, I went down to Ipoh to collect it. I was having a hard time to find their lab since the road was so busy on 1p.m., when workers are going out to have their lunch. I stopped in front of Hotel Grand View, and rang their phone. Luckily it was just further down the road; I took a U-turn, and drove further down the busy road. I looked around and found a parking lot opposite of the lab.
During the explanation by the consultant, she told me that for those sections which were highlighted; they were those which I need to pay attention to. I was so afraid while she turned a page to another; I scanned for highlights on every new page instead of looking on the figures written. I got one highlighted section only, which was Hepatitis B antibody, too bad they didn't find any antibody in my blood cell. Other than that, everything is fine. I was asked to receive the first injection of Hepatitis B antibody for the first month, and second injection after one month interval, and another after 5 months interval. Anyway, I felt that I have to discuss with my parents first, because my parents are receiving such 'treatment' as well, and it's available within my hometown as well. Therefore I don't think that's necessary for me to get the injection in Ipoh. After some planning, I planned to get my first injection on the end of this month before I go back to Sunway, the second injection during my holiday, and the third injection after my 3rd semester of CIMP. Hopefully everything would be fine...hehe..
Alright guys, it's 2.23a.m. now, it's time for bed now...See ya guys^^

Pre-U Graduation
Yeah...one year of effort....finally I was able to be one of the graduates of 34th CIMP Graduation Ceremony, which was held 2 days ago...6th June 2008.
On Thursday night, I took out everything that I’ll be wearing on Friday include shirts, pants, socks, shoes and tie...I had also re-ironed my shirt and pant since they looked somehow messy. Other than that, I practiced on how to tie up my tie properly, I had never touched a tie since I graduated from high school, which was more than one year ago. Thank God I still remembered how to tie it up properly with a pleasing symmetry.
I know I can’t be late to such important ceremony in my life, there was 3 alarms in my little room, include my phone, clock, which are beside my bed usually, and my laptop on my desk, which I usually have to wake up to shut it up. Yeah...I woke up 'successfully' because I slept on 2.30a.m. Night before and I had only four and a half hours more to sleep until 7 a.m.. Shut all of them up, and I went for a shower. Put on all my clothes and styled up my hair. Before I went out from my room, I took photos on myself from different angles to check if i looked neat and alright. I called a cab and I go down stairs to wait for it. I arrived at school around 8.15a.m., I went to the cafeteria to meet my friend and I got myself a chicken sandwich. Right after we finished our breakfast, we went to 4th floor to collect our academic gown. Out of my mind, it was so crowded while almost 50 people crammed into a small little room. Luckily there was air-cond inside the room. I put on my academic gown but I had no idea on how to put it on properly so that it looks cool. The gown company's staff which I believed was a photographer helped me out with that. After we settled down, we went into auditorium for a briefing on the progression of the ceremony includes our seating area and standing spot when we are up on the stage.
The ceremony started with graduates walking into the hall, I was the 4th last graduates to walk into the hall since my name started with "Y". There were hundreds pair of eye welcoming us with smiles and I believed every graduated include myself were being honoured. I sat on the last row of reserved seats. The ceremony was then continued with speeches by the VIPs. After speeches, our moments began. The souvenir giving session began with students who achieved average mark of >90s, >80s, and the rest. Same thing, I was also the 4th last graduates to go up the stage. The hall was full of claps and cheers. Camera was flashing on every of our joyful and cheerful moments. When my moment started, I can’t hear anything around me because I was too nervous and I was trying to conceal my nervousness by smiling pleasantly. Thankfully I was doing fine, went back to my seat and our moments ended smoothly. The ceremony was then continued with speech by Valedictorian, SuYin, and closing speech by our Program Director. After their speech, the ceremony was officially ended and VIPs were passing by and walked out from the hall. All of the graduates were having group photo on the stage. After that, we collected our transcript and having photo session with friends around the hall. Half an hour after, we returned our gown and collect our deposit. I had my lunch with my friends at restaurant nearby and then I went back to my house.
Here's some pics...
Although I had graduated, I’ll still stay in CIMP to do my 3rd semester, because my average mark wasn’t enough to get into Monash U. Anyway, this ceremony really meant a lot to me, it was my first time attending graduation ceremony and it was my first time being one of the graduates too. Alright guys...that's all from me...shall go now....Bye^^

Back on Gym training
Yeah...just came back from California Fitness centre, I felt sooooo damn good after away from training for 2 weeks due to exam, sick, monkey business blablabla....I lost my weight due to sickness, and my muscle had already almost invisible. As usual, I spent one hour in the gym and tried to push myself to the limit, I focused on biceps triceps, shoulder, and chest of course. Sunway Pyramid was so damn crowded, but out of my mind the gym centre was still okay, at least I don’t need to queue to use those machines.
After my gym training, instead of going to the crowded KFC, I went to the KFC beside Sunway Pyramid and take away a 'dinner-plate'. I took a taxi came back since I was so lazy to walk. I had fed up with the damn guard in my residential area. Every time, the same person, the same procedure, the same question, the same action, the same damn attitude, and the same shitty experience. Both of the guards tend to ask for my house number, street number even though they asked me day before. I doubted they're having Alzheimer in which people can’t memorise things well when they're old, but they're young...I just don’t know WTH is wrong with them...perhaps somebody will screw them up someday.
I'll be going to Bangsar again tomorrow...hopefully KLIFA do opens tomorrow.....Shall go now...Bye! :)
How 'The Way I Are' today
Anyway, I'm all fine now, just came back after spending half of my day outside. Initially, what I planned would be going to Bangsar to ask for piloting course, and then shop around with friend at mid-valley. Unfortunately, things didn't turn into what I had expected. I went to the school to meet my friend at 10a.m., we went to have breakfast at Orange, and took a taxi to KTM Subang Jaya. My friend (an indo) and I had never take a KTM before, so we decided to try something different this time since all we had was the time. So we reached the KTM Station Subang Jaya, it was lousier than what I expected before this. It was nothing much different with my hometown's little station, maybe just much more crowded, and lively. We bought the tickets and went over to the opposite platform in order to go to KL Sentral. Luckily, under the hot sun, the train came within 5 minutes, we hop into it, the doors closed...and I started my 1st journey with KTM. First impression was good...as we had passed several stations, the train stopped in the middle of the track, and I prayed I won't be one of the 'victims', which we saw in the newspaper, the train pulled over and the passenger gonna walk on the track to the nearest station. Luckily, a quick report from the driver came to us within 1-2 minutes; it was just because of their traffic arrangement. The aircond is not as cold as LRT and the rest was fine for me except the damn scenery which was just that damn grass. We reached KL Sentral 45 minutes later, went down to ground floor, and bought the taxi ticket to Menara Mutiara Bangsar which is the place where I wanted to go to. When we reached there, I found that the Menara was more than quiet, seemed not operated for years, we don't care and took the life to 9th floor, and looked for KLIFA (KL International Flying Academy). The 9h floor was pretty calm also, it was kind of apartment building and nobody walked around on the pathway. The door of KLIFA was closed and nobody answered the door bell. Too bad, all I can do was went down disappointingly and went to Mid-Valley. What I learnt from this was give a call to them before I take off to reach them...Damn! :(
Actually this would be the 5th time I went to Mid-Valley and 1st time went to The Gardens. First I went to the California Fitness centre in Mid-Valley. Basically I just wanted to compare between both Sunway and Mid-Valley centre. Mid-Valley seemed to have better cable facilities, changing room, a swimming pool. While Sunway has better free-weight training section and newer machines and facilities since it was newly opened. Besides, I thought to get some new shirts and a new backpack since my schoolbag had worn out badly. I'm kind of a perfectionist while I'm buying clothes..or picky. I won't buy it if I'm not satisfied by it. My favourite brands are PDI-A, SEED, G2000, Sports wears and some other affordable brand. I went into every apparel shops in Mid-Valley and The Gardens, include those sell a jeans and RM2000. I went with nothing on my hands, and I came back with nothing as well. Sounds funny...LoL...Other than that, we went for a movie "Indiana Jones". I won't be doing a review for this movie, as my movie reviewing skills are sux to the limit...you can't get the actual story line, but my very owned 'story line'. Anyway, it was a nice movie if you like the history of Egypt's. After the movie, we had our dinner at Burger King and 'finalize' our shops. We sat beside the South Entrance of Mid-Valley in front of Doom cafe, try to think of what shall we do...haha...was being nonsense because we all had nothing to do even if we go back. However, the air of Selangor isn't so nice for excessively 'deep-breathing'..LoL. Instead of the costly Taxi, we walked to the nearest bus station and took Rapid KL back to Sunway Pyramid. I bought some snacks for the rest of the week and we came back.
My friend decided to go to Bangsar and ask for it once again, and I'm going as well. God bless it can be done on Monday. Although I didn't get anything by today other than walking around, I felt it was a very right alternative lifestyle of spending my 'pointless' time, it's tiring and now I already got to have a nice sleep. Ciao ya guys…^^

After having hibernation
My graduation ceremony is gonna be on 6th of June, it's getting closer. I'll be wearing a graduation gown for the first time in my life, definitely means a lot to me. Yesterday was the lasy day of CIMP, I bought my camera to school, but I don't feel like taking pictures, I was busy revising for my test on period 2 during period 1. After having a test on period 2, I went for a quick lunch and continue my revision for the calculus exam. I had only taken some photos during my period 4 class, but it was really a little too less as compared to my last semester. All blames goes to the stupid exam, ruined my mind and mood badly!! Anyway, I was so happy and grateful that I had met a whole bunch of nice friends throughout the semesters. I figured out the way to make friends with people who have different family background, culture, lifestyle, and personality. We were having a great time together all these months, somehow I was being so reluctant to leave them so soon because we can hardly share our time together anymore after this. Some of them will be going overseas to further their studies, some of them will stay in Sunway University and most of them will be going into Monash University. I had applied to Monash University, but I'm still deciding whether be an engineer or pilot. I prefer something more flexible as well as my life, being a pilot, everyday's life is different, and you fly to different country and experience different kind of stuffs, that's why I like travelling as well.
Alright guys, gonna hit the gym now or it's gonna be likely going to the club(it's getting more crowded after 6pm)....I think I'll have more time to write after my final exam...see ya...-^^-

I'm back...
Aiks...never had an entry for 2 weeks. I was so busy with all my school stuffs, ISUs, tests, quizzes, and presentation!! But seriously la....I was just being lazy to write..LoL.
Just came back from hometown after few days of holiday. It was so nice when I get back to hometown, I can drive a car and fool around, visit my relatives and friends and the most important feel the home!! I slept until 1p.m. since Friday morning, the feel is sooo good, just because I don’t need to worry about where I am going to have my lunch, I get up and the lunch was prepared. Instead, if I stay in KL and I don’t have a car, I was always scratching my head for my lunch. However, since I moved out, I feel a lot better than before when I was staying in the hostel. I guess maybe it's not too close with the school, and when I stay in residential house, it's likely staying at home.
CIMP is going to end in less than one month, 10 days of school, I felt nervous....whether I can do well in the coming 10 days or not, frankly, it's a big examination for me...I would better start to do my ISU which due tomorrow, and it's still BLANK....omg....:(
Alright...See u all...Bye. ^^

18 Days
Just came back from pyramid 30 mins ago, put my snacks and food into the 'special' drawer where i usually keep my food, and started to clean my room as i usually do everyweek. I changed my bed sheet, and rearrange my stuffs into order.I found that the air of my area is kind of dirty because there is always a thin layer of dust on the top of my speakers even though i clean it everyweek. But sometimes can't be bother so much, since my area is close to the busy highway.
Hehe. i guess the rain is going to stop very soon, and it's almost the right time to have my dinner already....See u guys...Bye!

Lucky Day?
There was a quiz in my physics class just now, I was being so 'lucky' because I didn't really study for it, some more I skipped my class on Monday and I had totally no idea about the lab that we had done yesterday. During my break period, I took a glace on my text book and did a question from it, out of my mind, that particular question came out in the quiz exactly the same except the numbers were changed. As if i bought lottery and struck it 'accidentally'..LoL. But to be honest, although I did perfectly on that, but I was still kind of unsure about stuff taught in my skipped lesson.
I had an idea that today is my lucky day; I thought to skip my IDC lesson when I first woke up from bed, and a sudden idea came into my mind and told me that I should go for it. Normally I’ll straight away ignore any idea that came into my mind when I had decided on something, but this morning was totally different, I turn off the snooze of my clock and phone, and went into the bathroom straight away like usual. And that's true; we were having a sudden quiz this morning, pity for those who skipped the class 'accidentally' and 'intentionally'.
Finally my dilemma had been cured; I went into the CIMP office and looked for Mr. Boucher. I wanted to study engineering at Monash University, but my situation is I was afraid that I had insufficient of average mark to get into engineering faculty. My average marks is now 77% while the required marks is 80%, which means I still need to get 3 more marks from every subjects. I was not sure if I need to take the 3rd semester in order to boost my average up, because I don't want to be regret when I get into 'wrong' faculties. I was advised to try my best and try not to waste my effort and time for it which are unworthy. The director claimed that every semester there were a lot of returning students and retake subjects which they had taken last semester, and most of them didn't do much better because they were being arrogant since they feel that they're just learning the same thing again. I had definitely felt better, anyway, I’ll seriously try my best although I’m really fed up with those lectures...God Bless!!

April Fool's Sequela
Shit...I'm all wet now!! I was caught in the rain when i was on my way back home, the sky was so cruel and don't let me to finish the last quarter of my walk...LoL...I didn't hit the gym for one week over already, all because of the stupid weather, it fooled me for 3 days, it was so dark during the afternoon and I thought it was going to rain heavily, but WTH eventually it ended up nothing. Nowadays I can hardly have time to go for gym, even though sometimes I'm free, I was just thinking of having a rest, lots of assignments and tasks are coming up as I'm approaching the end of the semester, got to plan my time real wisely or I’m gonna screw my life up!! I skipped my 1st period class today; because I knew that it's not going to have serious lectures since the test had passed yesterday. I slept all the way until 8.45am, and attend my 1st lecture at period 2. I felt much less tiring for attending only 3 period of class every day.
Out of my mind, the result of the test that I had taken yesterday was announced, I felt kind of disappointed with that, I got not enough of 3 quarter of the total marks, I made a lot of minor mistakes which had taken away a lot of innocent marks, I promise myself from the next unit onwards, I don’t want to have “last minute work” anymore, that was seriously stressful and fatigue and my face gonna have few more pimples when I feel stressed!!
It's still raining heavily outside the window, I can hear the strong wind and lightning, not sure if I’m going to have McD again tonight..LoL...I would rather have bread instead of it or I’m gonna vomit for having it 2 days continuously. Alright guys….wish me Good Luck for having a better dinner tonight…Ciao for now…See ya..

Hey Guys
Hey guys, here's my blog site, generally would be recording with every bits of my life, how's my school going, how's my life holding up, and how's my world going on. Yeah...self introduction (always forgotten :p)...my name is Calvien, 19 years old, I'm from Perak, Malaysia, and I'm still a college student currently. I came from a typical family, with an elder brother, dad, mum, and grandparents. In my mind, I'm kind of easy going, friendly, and somehow I think that I'm arrogant, especially to those who're arrogant. In most of the time, I don't like to quarrel with others, because I don't know how to quarrel and I'll feel desperate and I don't like to have enemy in my life. Even though sometimes my mind was stretched up with lots of stuff, I tried my best to maintain my nerves and temper. My school....I love physics and maths, because I was always curious to know how's everything works, but too bad I didn't do very well in my maths course. In fact, I don't really like to eat and that's why I'm so thin and short(165cm, 5xkg). However, I tried a lot of food(include birds' shit..LoL) and eventually I had chosen Chinese food as my favourite food, because that's the only thing makes me realise about my real personality (:lol:). Western food came secondly and Japanese food came lastly because I always prefer to eat something cooked. Anyway, I love travelling around, especially road trip, I don't like to go with travel agency because it's rushing, and therefore I can’t 'touch' the country well enough. If I were to go to any western country and eastern country, I would choose France and Hong Kong because I like to shop around, eyeing for something that's strange and "weird". Oh yeah...my hobby...other than travelling, I "guess" it might be net surfing, fooling around forums and make some friends. Since I was young, I loves cars and technology stuff, but too bad those thing that I was looking for cost like a bomb, I will never had a chance to own them until I graduated from university...haha..Alright guys, so far for my 1st entry, I'll be coming up with more and more words, hope you guys enjoy it. See ya~!
