A very short update before get into sleep..
I'm gonna have my final exam in less than 3 weeks, and yet I really had no clue about what's gonna happen. I don’t know why but today I suddenly felt tension of it. I wasn’t doing so well on previous quizzes, highest 78, lowest 4X, I would say my average mark right now is around 50-60. Final exam weighted 70% of final mark, which means if I don’t start to study now, I’ll seriously FAIL. I told myself at least I have to get 70% averagely no matter how. 5 subjects, 20 days left, 4 days/subject? Guess it's possible..will start revising it from tomorrow. God Bless~~
A few more things I have to remind myself..
1. Collect my fluid lab report and re-do one of it.
2. Complete ME Design Log Book
3. Submit long report(Creep testing)
4. Complete the project
5. Sleep more for the sake of not skipping lectures/sleep during lectures
6. Plan my time really wisely
That’s it..Nights :)

2009 F1 Malaysia Grand Prix
Watching F1 was always my dream since I was in high school. Why? I'm craving for that because of its speed, its power, its passion, and of course its God dammit screams. We got our tickets from a promotion booth at Segi College, cost Rm10/ticket instead of RM100. We didn't go for the exhibition, qualifying, and the concert by Jamiroquai(I don’t know who's he) but only the RACE.
Woke up pretty late this afternoon, took my shower, and went out having lunch with Suresh while waiting for his friend to pick us up. The race started at 5pm, we arrived at Sepang around 3pm and caught in the jam for >1hr until we arrived at our parking area. Parked our car, and quickly walked to entrance. Got our ticket scanned, and there we go.
The race started with Negaraku, and a testing lap by safety car, and drivers. When the national anthem being played, I felt kinda awkward, never been standing still as a crowd for a few years since graduated from high school, but yea..I can still remember how to sing it. Haha..The 2nd picture was taken during the testing lap. Our position is right after a sharp 90dgr turn, and then the driver will accelerates again. So when the first car passed by, I was seriously stunned by its sound, it really screamed until the floor was vibrating in very high frequency. As cars passed by continuously, I started to feel the pain inside my ear, and my head was getting heavier. After 10 laps, the cloud started to come upon our head, and the day is getting darker, until it started to rain on 15th laps and ended up we gave up watching it at 21st lap. Too bad, we didn’t witness to any accident.
On our way back to Subang Jaya, I was shocked when I heard the race was suspended from my friend, whose brother was watching Live at home, due to bad road condition and weather. After that, we continued watching at a Mamak Stall, while having our dinner there. By that time, the race was still suspending until 30 minutes later, it was announced as 'The race will not be restarted', and the race ended at 32nd lap. Raikkonen was out..too bad.
1. Jensen Button
2. Nick Heidfeld
3. Timo Clock
Here are 2 more pictures taken during the race.

License Renewal
Finally, my P-Percubaan(Trial) license had been renewed after expired for 2 weeks. This afternoon, right after lunch with friends, I went to Kelana Jaya and took LRT to Taman Jaya. From Google Earth, the JPJ office just locates beside the station, so I guess LRT is the best choice since I’d been fed up with parking these days. Arrived at Taman Jaya Station, go down the stairs and asked a lady about the exact location. The lady is actually those who helps people to register this and that, since some people don’t like waiting, and they do have some kind of 'privilege' so it can be done faster than it suppose to be. Well, since I’m so free, I just asked her about the location, who knows, the gate is just behind me, the building is hiding way at the back, and the gate/fence is newly built, no letters/emblem on it yet. Pretty much the same with the one at Ipoh, it's departmental, and you just need to follow those sign boards. Asked for a number tag at the reception counter and queued for that. It was a long queue, 50+ numbers to be called until mine. So I sited beside an Indian, and God dammit he started asking me hell lots of unnecessary Qs, like, my educational background, parents' info, we don’t know each other, and I really don’t think that I need to answer that, so I just pretended to be BM idiot, in fact I’m pretty much an idiot in BM speaking. Ended up I went for a pee, back to the room, and Thank God it was almost my turn. Renewed my license for 5 years for RM150, quite expensive, but it's only RM30/year, almost 10cent a day? Not too bad huh..
Ciao Guys..

24 March
Been driving in KL for 2 months, and today I lost in the town for the first time. After our 1st period ended at 10am, there were 8 of us planned to go 1U for a little relaxation. For those who use LDP often, there's a tunnel that you guys will usually go through when going towards Damansara Utama. Instead of going into it, I kept left and made a right turn on my way to Sri Hartamas/PJ area. Further ahead there's a U-turn, the distance is too short for lanes changing, and I missed that again. After that U-turn, signboard was no longer showing 'Damansara Utama', I started to get a little nervous, because friends were already waiting at 1U, and I made that stupid mistake. Since I’ve been Sri Hartamas, and I chosen to go there 1st since I believe it's quite near to Damansara Utama, only then make a U-turn. Along the way, I passed through National Science Center, which I had been there almost 10 years ago with family, still in pretty good shape. After 15 mins, wasted RM1 toll fee, and fuel, I managed to join LDP back, and continued driving towards 1U, what an awful mistakes. But in another sense, pretty contradictory when you're driving towards places that you don't know where it is, I was nervous of being in a new place, curious of what's surrounding you, excited of knowing where the hell am I.

21 March
It's Saturday and I woke up pretty early this morning. Had my breakfast with Suresh, who's going back to his hometown this afternoon. Fetched him at 9am and we ate at Hassan's Gallery, probably Suresh's favorite restaurant. Soon after that, his family also arrived at Subang Jaya and had their breakfast taken at there as well. For the sake of time, Suresh took me to his house for packing. As told, his room means the whole house is owned by an old lady, who is renting all the rooms in her house to students ONLY. I bet she earned a lot from that, one room cost approx. RM800, there are at least 4 rooms there, and you do the calculations. The good thing is, the whole house is extremely well kept, things are put nicely and accordingly, attached bathroom, plasma TV + astro, with some renovations as well, felt kinda comfortable of it.
After Suresh went away with his family, my friend, Kai Feng from Malacca met me up, just to have a little fun around my place. We both went to One U for lunch, a short while of window shopping, actually I thought of buying a short, but some of the price tag was seriously high enough to blow a big hole on my wallet, hence I gave up buying it, unless I really really like it so much until I can’t help of paying for it. We also watched the movie, The International. Again, I’m sux on summarizing story, and on the other hand I wasn't attracted to the story. All I can say is, it's about investigation of NYPD. For the rest of the day, we came back to Asia cafe, and played 23 rounds of pool, he can play really well, and definitely better than me, ended up he won me by 14-9, and seriously it was damn fun, and I really exhausted of standing for almost 3 hours. Talking of pool, it’s actually my part time study, me and my colleagues will show up in the pool club 90% of our free time, I found it greatly pleasures me, even when I swore when I missed the balls. Back to my day, after that, we went to KimGary at Sunway Pyramid for dinner and get back to our respective house and I actually spent almost all the day light hanging out today.
About study, there’s a quiz about integration and its application coming on Tuesday. Tomorrow I’m gonna spend all my day on tomorrow to revise this chapter, wish I can score better in the coming quiz, I’m looking for improvement right now, to keep motivating myself from time to time. We’re now approaching the end of Semester 1, God bless everyone will pass through with flying colors.

Klang's bak kut teh
we happened to have something very interesting today, we went to Klang to have bak kut teh at 10pm right after our class ended. 9 of us went in 2 cars, considered as our first outing, 2 hours trip to Klang. :p
Anyway, the whole trip took us around 30 mins, we went into wrong road for a few times before arriving, and i think i was driving pretty recklessly. The restaurant located just nearby the toll plaza, there's a few around there, but we chosen the one recommended by our buddies from Klang. We ordered 2 pots of bak kut teh, and of course side dish, yau zha guai. It tasted seriously better than ss14 one, the soup is more concentrated, and not in large portion, probably the best one i ever tried before. Price is pretty reasonable as well, RM9/head, MUCH cheaper than ss14 one, which usually cost around RM15/head.
Right after that, we came back to Subang for our beloved activities, pool at Asia Cafe, I'm seriously damn addicted to pool these days, if it's free, i can probably spend my whole day over there. I also met with my friend from hometown over there, played a few rounds with him, and then we 'chow'. After that, i went to library with another guy, it was the first time i stepped into the library for the sake of talking 'cock' with friends over there instead of studying, it's actually pretty noisy, people like us are discussing over there and there's only a very small enclosed area. So we were procrastinating until 4pm and started out last period, 6 hours gone just like that, we relaxed instead of studying. :p

25 Feb
At this moment I’m having a very strong motivation of updating my blog, after being pushed by a few of them.
Right after CNY, I started my Mechanical Engineering degree studies at Taylor's UC located at Subang Jaya. It's a twinning course which taken 2 years locally and another 2 years at UK. Generally speaking, it's totally a new thing for me, new school, new course, new friend, new area, and of course a brand new LIFE. First of all talking about friends, most of my course mates were actually taking their Pre-U at Taylor's previously, by that means they actually joined this course in a gang, and they already had their own group of friends. Honestly speaking, I’m not a very skilled person when socializing with strangers, and I’m not very aggressive in making new friends. During the first few days of lectures, I felt so afraid of being in a room with people that I don’t know, I tried to say Hi to a few of them but then on the next day, you'll become a total stranger to them again, I don't know if my voice was too soft, or they just pretended to be a deaf man. Sitting in a row with them but in fact you're just being a lonely guy. Anyway, I'm really glad that I’ve found my group of friends over a short time, and I felt that this is what I was actually looking for so long since Pre-u, pretty hardworking, cheerful, friendly, humble, and most importantly the willingness to be together with you. During our free/break time, we'll sometimes hangout at Asia café having lunch, in the cybercafé or having pool at Asia Club, studying in the ECA, surfing in The Web, and so on. From my heart, I feel so grateful of being friend with you guys.
Talking of lectures, my very first impression is the timetable, and basically the thing I hate the most. We had around 6 hours of class everyday, class starts from 8am to 6pm daily, and thank God Friday is slightly better, we start at 10am. All of our free time is framed between lectures. Well, there’s pros and cons behind it, pros is that we can actually spend more time together discussing about homework/assignments, rather than doing it at home oneself, solving the problem oneself. Cons is that we’re not having enough of time to rest, and I think I might need to give up my gym for the time being, I don’t wanna/can’t squeeze gymming into my schedule anymore, or I’m sure I’ll be really damn exhausted and in another sense it’s a wastage of money when I’ve no time to hit the gym on weekdays. Perhaps I’ll try to look around for those Pay-per-Entry gym centres.
The first 2 weeks of classes were really exhaustive as I don’t use to spend so many hours in school, and having 6-8 hours of lectures everyday. Thus, everyday is about new stuff, our digestive system have to be really efficient to absorb the entire syllabus. Teaching Methods are rather different than Pre-U, the pace is so much faster than before, and my life is so much plenitude than ever. We learnt 1-2 sub-chapters every period in pre-u, but we’re now doing a whole damn chapter each period, definitely a significant increment of work loads. I really needed to try my very best to adapt with this kind of supersonic long hours flight.
As time goes by, I guess everything will go even smoother, as long as I keep everything staying on the track everyday. Consider of everything is getting tougher everyday, I really had to be well prepared for every obstacles, and voyage, strive to get through everything, and eventually realize my dreams. Same wish goes to everyone of you guys as well, thanks for reading it, and sorry for not updating it for the past 2 months. :peace:

Langkawi 5D5N
Yet another year end trip with my high-school's friends. Wonderful, memorable, yet fatigue trip. 5 of us Me, Jeff, Hian wen, Ee Hau, and Choon Keet departed from our hometown's KTM station 12.30am on the 17th, arrived at Alor Setar’ station after 7 hours of super-bored journey. We caught a cab to Kuala Kedah jetty and then ferry to the island. At Kuala Kedah jetty, lots of travel agents approached us, asked for ferry ticket, car rental, entrance tickets, and all sorts of stuffs with really good price. We purchased only the ferry tickets and dropped some deposit for a Toyota Corolla.
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..

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
Thanks you guys for all the wishes came to me yesterday, I really appreciate all of them, and I feel grateful for having a whole bunch of nice guys as my friends. It was really a lovely, enjoyable, special, fresh birthday for me.
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.....
Hey yo!! I had finally finished all my exams. I'm FRee right now!!
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
Shit..I thought today is Wednesday, 3rd day of class, coz I had my first class on Wednesday this week. I woke up at 12.20pm as usual, and took a bath. Half way bathing, only I realized it's Friday, class starts on 12.30pm, and it was almost timed up and I was still taking my bath. Decided to skip the class instead of rushing myself badly, and end up late classing for 15 mins which will result in absence. After all, today's class is about graphing as told, I’m pretty much alright with that, just a little more effort needed to master it.
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.

Just managed to switch on my computer after >100 trials, there was some problem with the graphic card since last month, just don’t feel like fixing it, it's way too hassle to send it to HP Tower again. As long as it don’t go too wild, I’ll just let it be until my sem break, then I’ll send it to HP centre locates at Bercham.
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
hey guys, never had an entry for exactly a month. Was being pretty good these days. Just feel like writing about my life at this moment.
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 : (
Well, 2 more months, and am gonna finish my Pre-U studies, and leave Sunway, no matter how good/bad is my achievement. Mid-term result came out last Thursday, pretty much like what I've predicted. I got 87 for MCV4U, and 73 for MHF4U. Not gonna talk about that. I've calculated my total average mark of best 6 subjects, it's 78.8. Approx. 2 more marks to go, I would say it's somehow easy and hard for me. It's hard for me to maintain the 87, as I’ll really stress myself very much to score 87 and above for every coursework, but it's easy for me to boost the MHF4U.
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?
Well, it's the mid of September, never had an entry for approximately 2 months. Kinda weird, as I totally had no idea about writing my life, days seemed going pretty smooth and calmer nowadays. Slept at 2-4pm (or 'earlier' sometimes), woke up at 12pm, going to school and back at 4pm. Surf the net, or going to the gym sometimes, and dinner at night. While all these keep recycling every day, I realized my days past really in the speed of rocket. Two more weeks I’m gonna be back to hometown for a short break. I actually felt like it's just a week of two away from my previous break, and now it's another break. In fact, today is the 4th week away from my last break. If you were to depict my life, u might want to imagine I’m on a study trip to Sunway instead of a plain study life.
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
I haven’t been seeing a rain for almost 3 weeks which means there was no rain in Sunway for almost 3 weeks, it's kinda hard to imagine but it's true I swear. Fortunately (I don’t know if I should say 'unfortunately'), the sky rained this afternoon. Before I went into my Calculus class which is on 1.30pm, the sky is still showing good, not too sunny, right after 15 minutes of lectures, the sky started to rained heavily, even Ms. Najjar got to increase her volume since we're in the last classroom of the row, it would be loud when the rain touch the roof. It rained all the way until 4.30pm, and then only it turned into drizzle.
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!!
Why did I say it was an unfortunate rain? I bought 2 tubs of protein and creatine powder through the line.

Gunung Datuk (2-8-08)
Yeah, finally we have had our very first trek on last Saturday to Gunung Datuk located at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. I woke up around 6 am in Saturday morning, get myself ready and walked to school with my friend. We had our light breakfast on the restaurant beside our school, and registered ourselves at the foyer meanwhile. There were not only CIMP students, but few students who're from SIS. We registered ourselves with Mr. Plouffe, and received our safety kit with a whistle from Ms. Colins. Right on the proposed time, 8am, we walked out from the school to catch our bus.
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..
Well..finally my laptop can't survive from its sickness, and went into its very own hospital on Monday's evening. That's why I didn't online on MSN and even had a chance to post an entry on past few days...Sigh!! Anyway, the HP service center is really efficient and their staffs were really friendly. Monday after class, I left to the HP tower located at Damansara Height around 4.30 p.m., arrived around 5.00p.m.. Dropped by their service center, and my number was called immediately, explained my problem to the technician, they lodged a report and I was asked to verify that, and then I can go. That's far too simple than I thought before I went there...Haha.
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..^^

finally it's alright
Yeah...finally my laptop had recovered from its sickness. It was kind of unbelievable, it was caused by corrupted display driver. But the thing is weird, since I had recover my laptop using the original recovery disc, everything supposed to be alright include all of the essential driver...how could the display driver be corrupted? Anyway, I was having a chat with the HP technician through the HP Live Chat, which is kinda helpful. Firstly I was told to go into Safe Mode and BIOS Mode to check if everything is displayed properly. Everything seemed alright, and he doubted that it was caused by corrupted display driver problem, I received an URL which is the download link of the released display driver. I installed it and restarted my computer...Dang Dang!! I finished a whole movie hours ago, and everything is still alright....Just simply magnificent. Even I myself cant believe it, since I had formatted my laptop for 7 times, and recovered for 3 times, and it was fixed eventually by installed a single S hole driver...That's why I used to expect things to the worst....Sigh!!

1st day of 3rd sem
Came back from college an hour ago. Yeah, it's the beginning of my 3rd sem. Actually I’m so reluctant to join the 3rd semester, the life of CIMP is somehow boring me, everyday's life is almost the same. For this semester, I’ll try to cover my tiredness by joining trekking club, and some other activities, since I’m doing only 2 subjects on this semester.
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... :)
