Back to where it came from

After all the dramatic years.... I'm once again blogging in my hse @ Ipoh! It has been a long time since I've done this and those who used to read this blog back then are no longer readers here. Lost a few, but gained so many and better ones :)

My Opinion
Its been a week since I came back from Subang, living in this town is really not a bad idea (due to my mum's cooking and free petrol from dad :S). But personally, its not a nice place to live with! Some say that I'm weird, cuz everyone likes their hometown..misses them and always like to go home... Perhaps that's not me, cuz my only reason to come home is to spend time with my family. Not that its nice, likes the environment and there are lots of childhood friends here... In my dictionary, there is no such things as childhood friends. People in life come and go, if there is someone who can click darn well with you now, it is best to appreciate cuz it might not be the same later in life. Well, I'm constantly trying to prove myself wrong after meeting close buddies like Jon and Joshua not forgetting Kana as well. Our bonds are still the same after a long gap in between. And besides them, I'll have to wait till end of the year to see how Syamir reacts when he comes back. Whether its still the same or one of us have changed...

The Reason
Coming back to my life here... Apparently I'm working on something that costs a huge sacrifice for me, Opportunity Cost! I'm really looking forward to it! It came to me one night while I was having trouble sleeping..then, I've finally found my new year's resolution! Not too late as it still has plenty of room for it to succeed! Work more and earn more, you will enjoy the outcome!

Self Comforting
Lucky for me, I still have my Elken friends here...this entails that I'm not alone (I wish there is a Charlie Bartlett to tell me this) At least I have someone to hang out with~~ Just like the olden days... And ya, my friends from 7 yrs ago still running the same business as usual at the same location and time! I can look for them to create some chatter in the dull atmosphere! Ya, so far these are who I can think of momentarily.

Setting Target
Just a few more months here...And there my dream will come thru! Constant visits to Subang are essential, at least to see Fili :)


Hope this post doesn't bore you (I'll try to come up with something interesting)

Till the nxt dull post~~

3rd tribute to Josh aka Monkey

The 3rd tribute


This blog contains total of 3 dedicated post to Joshua.

Photobucket

This weird species of primate eat almost everything under the sun


Yet, no doubt that he is the center of influence among us.

*Windy, do not worry/feel excited..this will be a short one!

His return had made things different,meeting new people, adding agendas, and of course... filling the emptiness. But now after 3 mths, its time to say goodbyes. Altogether changing back everything into its normal state.

As I'd used to say, he's like a bridge of connection which brings people from different lives together. There were occasions that prove this statement with pictures!!!

One of our huge gathering, Marcus's 21st B'day.

Photobucket

If it wasn't for him, I don't think these people in the pic will be in my list of friends~~

Josh's CNY open hse...

Photobucket

Even Alan knows the Monkey! A stunning shock!

A full cast gathering since 2007

Photobucket

The bonds we share goes way beyond words to describe...

Here is another trip from the "brotherhood"(partial) made in 2009 as another new start off!!!

Photobucket

A trip with much less activity compared to the one last year~ A feast from the night before Valentine's.. Well, to keep it simple...we had a late trip to Malacca for an enormous seafood dinner. The settings reminds us of Penang!
*Jon, too bad u were unable to join us

There are several pic taken on the day he left supposed to be posted here, but then...
*Josh!!! you forgot to return my camera's USB cable!!! Chikiny!!!

Anyways, I may describe what happened on that day...
We had a very late lunch aka Josh's farewell luncheon at Leisure Mall's Dragon i @ Cheras. Everyone close to him was there including Isabelle (her idea to have this). So we had some food and then its time for him to go. Something unsual and disturbing to me occured later, where my car is stuck in the middle of a freaking Pasar Malam! I was supposed to go home and head back to Ipoh the same day... So lucky Josh got my accompany to send him off for the 2nd time! And poor Yvonne have to endure her tears from seeing him leave :(

Adios brother Lee, perhaps another 9 months until our paths cross again!

To be continued...
End of volume 3

Volume 4 begins this fall (2009)

Adios Core group members!

So many many of you all like Aussie so much and I'm having a feeling where that country is gonna be another M'sia. So, there goes another 3 and soon will be Azran's turn. I think by mid year, if I pay a visit to Aussie...huh! I can't imagine how is it gonna be like. But then, lets look forward to another 3 years later...all of them are alr back here! Grad and working...

*I hereby take this opportunity to dedicate a post to the bonds we've been through throughout the year 2007 - 2009.

Everybody now~

Let me recap how we united to refresh your memories...

One the first few days of Business Oct intake 2007 lecture classes, I'd noticed some of them. Mainly Syamir's due to him having 2 gurls accompanying him everywhere he goes. I was like 'hmm.. this guys is good eh!' and also besides him there were others too that caught my attention. (This post is for them, so there isn't a need to mention about others)

The 1st week past by and here comes the 2nd week. Also the 1st week of tutorials. Did I mention that HELP sucks! Ya, HELP SUCKS badly in all aspects. So I was having trouble looking for my ACC101 (Financial Accounting) classroom, then manage to bump into Syamir asking him whether am I in the right class or not. Also an opening to get to know new friends as I was the Lone Ranger who entered HELP. Mayb it was God's will to bring us together... I then followed him into the class and he introed me to Tisya and Wei Yin, later found out that Tisya was Fili's exclassmate! Small world.

Here is where Azran comes in... The same day, we had our lunch at Rice Bowl Main Block (suggested by Syamir). On the way, Azran and Gilang was catching up with us and Azran randomly asked Tisya few questions. The conversation is as follow;

I was like 'What the hell is wrong with this guy?! What a pick up line to get to know gurls'
I think Syamir's reaction was similar.
So I remembered he asked "so where are you guys heading?"
I've forgotten who replied "We're goin to have lunch."
[Azran!!!!Correct me if I'm wrong] Azran said "Can we join you".
Me: 'Haha, lame la this guy'
Syamir "Sure, we're heading to rice bowl. Come, lets go"

And That was the start of something new.

Also another memorable moments...
Fast forward >> towards the end of Sem1

Syamir was desperately wanting to know this gurl (Name will not be mention, only those who were present knows this part).
[Syamir, You be thinking I hate this part]

The day class ended with ACC101 lecture. It was a late class. Syamir had took notice of this gurl since God knows when. He knew that she would wait fo her transport home at McD at that time. He wanted to kept the secret from the gurls (Tisay and Wei Yin) somehow me too. He told me that he needed to go toilet so badly after class. So when the class ended, I saw him pushed poor Azran back down to his seat when he was trying to get up. Then he ran down towards the bus. Luckly we managed to take the same bus as his. The next thing is him running up to Main Block and towards McD.

Poor 4 of us waited for him to come back down to the car park as Tisya needed a ride back with him. Halfway, he called Azran and seek for advice... Azran told him its now or never. We managed to figured it out and with the help of Azran telling us what was he attempting. Several mins later, he came down looking chivalrously. He got her name FINALLY!

You gained my respect bro!

Okay...end of story telling and lets look at some picture that flashes back loads of memories...


Once the camera falls into either Tisya or Azran's hand!

Chik! Chak! Chik! Chak!

Our final Chapter ended with that glamorous night in Rahsia KL. I guess I've already given you guys my ultimate post. I believe that this are your 1st time away from home at a distant land. Here's a piece of an advice from me peeps;
  • Try to make more friends. Be as friendly as possible
  • Do not simply trust people!
  • It is very important to take care of yourselves 1st before others
  • Find a part time job to ease expense (grow up ady, learn how to be independant)
  • Try not to miss home so much, its just a mere 9 months away from home
At the end of the day, you won't regret a single thing and you will feel that,

"The juice is worth the squeeze"



Till our next Chapter& till we meet again.....

Love,

The Twilight Saga

Tribute to the TWILIGHT SAGA

The same as always, many have already talked about the Twilight books and the movie...Now its my turn to tell you my story...

It has been 2 months plus since the movie Twilight became a big hit in cinemas world wide. For those who had already watched the movie, I guess most of you all liked it and as for me, just like any other teens in the US bought the books and read them.

Photobucket

The very famous book cover where you can find them in many major bookstores. I guess still piled up in stacks of an island booth. Twilight, the 1st book of the whole saga is indeed the best book ever written by Stephanie Meyer. It is indeed that "I can't get my eyes off" the pages till its done.

So, an immediate followed-up to the next book,

Photobucket

This is also the next installment to hit the big screens this fall. I wish there wont be a lot of differences between the movie and the book just like the 1st one. We'll wait till the movie comes out to find out.

The 3rd book......

Photobucket

Eclipse... It brings back memories. I wouldn't had known about Twilight if it wasn't for this book. My very first glimpse of the entire series. But honestly back then, I did not pay much attention to it cuz I thought it was another vampire flick which sounds very common in the blockbuster industry back then.
To my sincerest apology, Twilight was totally out of the box!!!

The thickest of them all...

Photobucket

This is a very interesting one. Despite the increased pages, it still makes you wana read more until its all done. Indeed very anticipating story...

Well, that wraps up all my comments about the four books of the Twilight Saga.

Photobucket

Read to believe
Just trust me, once you get your eyes on them...
You wont put the books down!






Till the next episode........
