Results are Out!!!

As usual, my results are not over the 3.0 mark. I was expecting smth more this time from my personal judgement. But what can i do now that the results are released? Even appeal/remarking the paper will not change the outcome. Tried it once, and it's juz a waste of RM50 for nothing. I wonder if the lecturer really remark the paper or not.

Irene have an interview in Equatorial today. Accompany her there, and i've to wait quite long as predicted for walk-in interview by Intel. Instead of doing nothing, i bring along the Engineer in Society textbook which i was proof reading for Mr. Pau (lecturer). They are planning to make a revised version and he offered to acknowledge my work. Hopefully he remembered wut he promised, i won't want to find out later that i've done 50 working hours of proof reading with no output. Or worse case, those errors still arise in the book.

The interviewed ended almost time for my dinner. Suddenly feel like eating Nasi Kandar. Spend RM7.70 on nasi berani in Kayu Nasi Kandar...a luxurious indian restaurant which have franchises around Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Penang is famous for their nasi kandar, and other then Kayu, there's Khalel and Subaidah, which some of you might have visiting it frequently for supper.

Remember the ASUS T2-P that i talked about. I went to Perangin mall after the meal in hope that i might find a better quotation for the CPU. Most shops doesn't stock nor sell mini towers, except MindMaker (+604.262.3200). I saw the unit before i got into the shop, asked the shopkeeper to bring it down as i wanna know how heavy the unit is. To my surprise, that small little tower is as heavy as a normal tower, if not heavier. I'll take the unit anyway, as i'll not need 4 CD-ROM slots. The most i'll be using is only 2. Asked for a quotation, and found out that offered me more for lesser value. I din take the package as i don't really trust BenQ's LCD. Have seen complains from Samsung's LCD as well. Now i still can't decide what LCD i should purchase, or should i just opt for a CRT, which is so bulky, and not suitable for moving to and fro Penang-Melaka.

Will come back to buy from this shop in a few days time. Since it'll be labour day tomorrow, i think i'll have to wait another few days before placing my order.

ASUS T2-P

Tesco, Penang is having their camera fair today. Was planning to earn a few extra bucks during the weekend working for them. But too bad my application was turned down. Went there and have a look, there's not much shops there that is enough to impress. But the variety is still okey. Wanna try out the Nikon D70s, but they don't have battery for that. Some other time i suppose.

Took Fried Koay Teow at Lorong Selamat - One of the best in Penang. The aunty that fried the koay teow have to wear googles while frying. I was expecting the que to be long as I went there at lunch time. But since it's not a weekend, the plate came right after i finished the IceKacang, which is famous there as well.

Image hosted by Photobucket.comAfter long consideration, finally decided to go and shop around for a new CPU unit. Tried looking around at Midlands Park (1-stop). The place was where i used to lepak back in my secondary days. It was very deserted now, and their anchor departmental store is even closed down dy. Haven't been there for a long time, but whenever i think of computer components, i'll go there to look out for it. Found a shop selling Shutter barebone, which i like the size a lot. But i worry that it might easily get heated up.

When i was about to give up, a kind gentleman invited me into his shop and gives me a consultation by understanding my needs and suggests the ASUS T2-P barebone to me. After looking at the specs and price that he quoted for me, i'm quite satisfied. According to him, i can get the stock in 2 days time once i order. I thanked him and told him that i've to go home and think over it. Below is how the case looks like.

Does my old computer support RAW converter?

Was been pondering this question over the past few days. Juz realised that my old laptop doesn't work well when processing photos especially when i'm planning to play with 8 megapixel photos from Canon EOS 350D. Might be going to the shops to look around for a new CPU tomorrow. See if i can get a small tower like the shutter or not.

It's so hard to find a job nowadays. Especially with such a short holiday i'm having. Tried to look around, most of them want at least 3~6 months contract, which i won't have so much time. I only have 6 weeks left, not 6 months! Time flies when u're having fun.

Day 2 without a camera. Missed my S1is. Wonder how much longer i can wait before getting a dSLR.

Beck in Penang!

Drove back Penang 5am in the morning. It was a smooth drive back until i felt quite sleepy around 7.30 and change driver. Don't have much audio choices, so put the buddist chants cassette to run for the whole journey.

Arrived around 1030 hours. Irene feel a sudden urge to visit the toilet, stopped by Tesco on the coastal highway for her to realease the load into the toilet. She finds it kinda funny as it's the first time for her to go shopping complexes just to Loo. Was laughing all the way, i don't find i it much entertaining as my dad usually did that when we were young:- visiting hotels juz to take a pee, or taking a bath in the hotel's swimming poolside (naked).

Drove to town to have Roti Canai. Can't remember the name of the road, but it's behind the old main police office off Penang Road. I remember the first time i was there is because i was looking for a shop which was promoted by NTV7. But can't find that shop, ended up in this RotiCanai shop which sells RotiCanai with tables and chairs facing the traffic. It's an interesting design if you are not an extreme hygenie phobia.

I parked in front of my house's car porch then only realised i don't have the padlock key for my house in Sungai Ara, and have to drive down town again to get keys from mom as dad is over in Prai. Wasted 60km of fuels, but was happy that i finally managed to make it back home.

Ipoh Trip (Day 2)

Morning drove to fetch SiKah from the bus station and go to town for DimSum. The EggTart is crispy and the fillings are sweetening and quite filling. Planned to DaBao some back to eat, but it sold out like hot cakes, din managed to even take one back. :( After meal we took a drive around the park in town. The same one we visited last night, but we can't see a thing cause it's too dark.

We skipped lunch and go back to pack our things before HooiMun's dad brings us to the 3Caves and leave us there. It's only a short way out from the highway, so we can drive ourselves back to Melaka without problem. Those caves are those "commercialized", which means a lot of visitors coming. But since it's a weekday i don't see much people visiting this place. 三保洞 (San Bao Dong) is one of them, they are actually 3 caves arranged in the same row. There's another 观音洞 down the road, but I'm in a rush to meet Swee Lai so din go. There's a turtle pond in the back of 三保洞, which excites the girls. Irene bought some Kankung (vegitable) from the pityful looking aunties at the entrance. The girls was excited by the reaction of the turtles when they fed them while i was enjoying myself taking photos of the paradise sort of chamber in the cave.

Took a tiring drive back to Melaka. Driving without any radio and cassettes is really boring, especially when everyone else in the car is sleeping soundly. Fortunately Irene volunteered to take over, and i managed to get a nice decent sleep. She loved to get in front of the wheels and drove better then me. I wonder if i should let her drive more frequent, as i don't want her to strain herself too much.

After bidding goodbye with the girls, drove to McD's Mahkota Parade to meet up with SweeLai (he's a guy!) as he wants to buy the camera from me. Waited for him while taking our Lunch-Dinner. Sold him at RM1000/=. It's a huge loss in my side, but since i'm selling it to a classmate, i don't really mind, as S2IS just came into the market few days go. Shit!!! Why on earth does Canon want to came out a new model when i'm just about to sell my camera??? Oh well, doesn't matter as i need the money to buy EOS 350D.

Juz realized this morning when i woke up that I forgot to bring my melacca house keys this morning. Called up my landlord to get the keys from him. Took a long turn in Kampung Tujuh cause we can't believe he stayed in the newly built housing area. We were shocked when we saw his house, which is quite nicely built. His father came back to bukit beruang with us to open the door. He doesn't have the front door key, but fortunately the back door can be open, with the help of a hammer from the neighbour. It's a tough task as I've a latch from inside, have to force open the door, thanks to the help of my landlord's father.

I decided to take a night rest before driving back to Penang as i don't want to overstress my car, neither am i going to drive 5 hours with a carfull and one tiring couple. It's really tiring driving in the middle of the night as there's no street lights available in most stretch. Tiring day, but glad to have sold my camera. How worried i was that it can't be sold off.

Ipoh Trip (Day 1)

Baru tau the tour guide doesn't really know the place well. Kek Sim~haha...not really lah~juz that we have to walk a longer path to get to the destination. Took wantan noodles with prawn fillings instead of the usual pork. I never actually tried that as i was thristing for the HokkienMee @ known in most places as PrawnMee. Love it...

Next we visit Kellis Castle, spend the whole morning there. Go back to town, and visited the Ipoh train station before visiting a Japanese garden beside the Horse racing circuit. The train station have the similar architecture like E&O hotel in Penang, with the old sliding door lift. There are hotel rooms for rent there on the first floor. Just that it's still under renovation, yet a peep thru the windows i can see that the facilities added inside can be comparable with KLIA sort of place.

Had our lunch in town, some sort like the 大树下 in Pulau Tikus, Penang. They sell 炸料 (fried stuffs) which the closest i can relate to is 罗肉 (lobak) in Penang. The chili sauce is really yummy, it's the famous chilly sauce which is exported to other states. Perak produced the best chilly sauce. Anything that touches it becomes finger licking good.

Visited the 极乐洞 (paradise cave) near HooiMun's place. The entrance is welcoming, yet it has a scent of calmness. Inside the cave there's a lot of cravings, and statutes. At the back of the cave, it's open to a large garden which is well maintained. It's like Botanical Gardens in Penang, but better as there's not that much crowd, more localised, and there's a lotus pond, playground, and a foot massage path among others.

At night, we have 牙菜鸡 (steamed chicken with tauge) in Jalan Yau Tet *** (blocked by a pair of socks). All the stalls in the street only sell 牙菜鸡, and they still manage to earn a good fortune out of it. They serve those steamed chicken with Penang Koay Teow Soup. Funny thing i learn that Irene never tried it before eventhough there's one shop selling it a few blocks away from her house in Penang. Should bring here there to try it out someday to see the difference.

It's kinda late after dinner, but we still made a visit to the "Lost World" before calling it a day. The place is already closed by the time we were there. Just took a look around and take some pictures. Don't have my tripod with me, so end up taking the stone walls to support the camera to take those pictures. The place have a very low light, so end up taking pictures up to 15 seconds to get the correct exposure.

王力宏 in Stairway, Ipoh

Wendy found us some tickets for LeeHom's concert in Ipoh. It makes irene so happy as HooiMun and Kelvin can't managed to get the tickets for her in both Penang and Ipoh. Left our things at HooiMun's place before goin to town center, where the concert will be held.

!@#$% stooooppppid place i tell u! The place was so crowded when we were there. Can't find a place to eat, and end up grab a bun before joining the rest in the queue. It wasn't like the other parties or concerts that i've been to. The management sucks, and the organzers can go to HELL. F**K!!! there were so many people queing outside the stage, yet they can allow the concert to start early. Shit man!!!

Not just that, those bouncers forced us to pay RM20 just for a bottle of mineral water and entrance fee. That's not all, they don't even look at the tickets but the money that you pay. Can't tolerate them. A lot of disatisfied people ran away, when i was up front, i wanted to get thru, but those people start pushing me. I defended myself, and they start shouting questioning me why did i push them. That's when i start get hot and scold them, and show them THE FINGER. This amoeba came and pull my bag, i stare back and shouted "Don't you ever touch me!" Irene came and support me and shouted "you stoopid Ipoh people, humiliated all Ipoh people only." and "I'll never come to Ipoh again, u've ruined my trip". Those bouncers can't do shit as the whole crowd is supporting us. Well, end up listening at the back of the stage.

He only sang 3 songs instead of 8 songs initially planed. The show also started an hour early. According to the papers, the bar claim not to sell any mineral water and got losses as they can't place tables around the stage. LOSESS??? these cheaters!!! Not selling mineral waters? Please lah!!! Irene and Wendy have to pay RM20 for the "entrance" just to get a signature from LeeHom himself. According to the girls, security from the Music company was very friendly and polite, but the people from STAIRWAY is totally amoeba.

Irene made me promise her that i won't go and find any trouble and stay put before she goes in to get the autograph from LeeHom. I kept the promise and din move an inch eventhough smoking amoebas are puffing away beside me. Din stare at them, din talk to them, just stay there and wait like i promised, until Irene came back. I heard there's a fight going on in the front door. I was happy i wasn't there, and also happy that those "so called Bouncers" are all hurt, killed or hospitalized. I want them all dead if possible. It's for ruining my trip to Ipoh, and broken the heart of all LeeHom's fan. I for one is not one of them, i'm only there because i want to accompany Irene, and help Wendy get some nice pictures.

What i want to tell everyone who read this blog is, NEVER EVER GO to STAIRWAY for any occasion at all. The place should be closed down, and their bouncers should be sent to the jail for lifetime imprisionment!!!

After Irene and Wendy got the autographs, HooiMun took us to have some desserts near Ipoh Parade, and some sort of schoold which i can't remember the name. They serve sago on top of Icecream with a variety of fruits. Love it, it cools me down after having such a bad time with those people in Stairway.

Slept quite early after taking a bath. Thanks for HooiMun's aunty for letting us stay for the night.

Cameron Highlands (Part II)

Have a nice sleep last night. When i woke up in the middle of the night, i saw Irene beside me. It throws away all the disatisfaction i have the night before. Having hug Irene gives me the most happiness.

After washing up, they told me that one of them have already called a van to bring us around Cameron Highlands. Thank god! Meaning i don't need to drive dozens of rounds juz to bring them around. It's save up my tyre for another few hundred kilometers i hope. I smell some rubber worn out when i drove up here last night. There's also a serious screeking sound when i turn the corners. Better get the tyres check once i'm back in Penang. Can't be driving like this down to Melaka again. The car just can't take it. I love my Honda City! not gonna let anything happen to her.

The van arrived rather late, but it brings us to all the common places:- Cactus Valley, Rose Garden, Strawberry Farm and for the first time Boh Plantation. The plantation have quite a good view, but the factory have nothing much worth mentioning about. I tried the Cameronian tea in their coffee house. It tastes the same like common Boh tea, but it cost 20cents extra. Well, maybe i have a tongue of a crocodile, but when i let irene taste it, she says the same thing. Proves that my judgement aint totally wrong (at least for an noob in tea tasting).

We can actually stay for another day up there. But Irene wants to watch Lee Hom down in Ipoh, so boh pian, have to drive down there around 2pm. Stories about that in the next post.

Cameron Highlands

Last night SiJia and SiKah stayed at my house. Earlier I thought SiJia's sister is joining us for the Cameron trip, but she have to go back to Sungai Petani as she's still in her academic term. Doesn't matter actually. Woke up at around 7am, pack our things and meet Yvonne at BukitJambul Complex's bus station. So sorry to let her wait there alone. But it's not really all my our fault as her boyfriend prefers to go back to bed rather then accompanying her for 30 minutes or so.

Drove down till Ipoh only realized these people doesn't know how to go up to Cameron Highlands. Hence made a call to mummy to ask for directions. Fortunately i told her about the trip a few days back, which means she had already done some "research" about that place for me, getting me the cheapest hotel, best route up, and suggests places to visit. It's not my first time up there, but I'm not the type of person who have a good memory.

Drove up using the Simpang Pulai road. Compared to the old winding road, the one I use is rather wide and easy to drive. But the bad part is there's nothing much to see along the way. I was worried the girls sitting behind will get car sick, so i drove relatively slow. As Irene's friends decided on Equatorial Hotel, i left them there before fetching the others up from Tanah Rata. We have to wait until 3pm to check-in, end up no one knows what to do. The EQ apartment doesn't allow us to cook, yet those girls already bought up a whole lot of meatballs and fish for steamboad.

That's when I start getting pissed off. I'm here just because my girl wants me to be there, and these group of people have such a bad organization. First is the hotel, which i have to swipe the card, then I am the only driver up there, meaning that i've to drive 2 rounds if the group of 9 person wants to go anywhere. It's still ok with me, anything for Irene's Graduation Trip. I tried to tolerate with it. But what am i gonna do without a place to stay for the night, and no place to keep all the food? Why can't they just plan everything properly???

Can't stay there any longer becoming just another person. Took the lead, ask Irene into the car and drove my way down to Villa Dahlia which my mother told me about. Happens that the innkeeper is very friendly and allows us not just to check-in immediately, but also look at the room if we're satisfied before check-in. EQ charge us RM450 compared to this villa which charge us RM280 before discount!!! So much difference, and they have all the kitchen facilities. It saves us all the trouble of finding a rice cooker ( i wonder who will want to take that back after the meal) and plastic plates. What can i do about these group of people huh? It's not like i'm really close to them that i can scold them like what i do if similar situation happen in my gang.

It's raining then, and i've to drive 2 rounds to bring all of them down from EQ to Dahlia. It's a tiring drive alone, but i find it worthwhile as i have already saved up RM170 from the room itself. The place outside was raining, so stayed indoors and ate some noodles prepared by the girls. Thanks girls for cooking ;)

Suggested to walked up to Brinchang which have their night market there everyday. Remembered taking Durians with my dad there on the roadside, a memorable experience i will always remember. But that was years ago. But not even walk till 500 meters, a few of them gave up and wanted to go back to the room. What is wrong with these people? The weather is cool, and it's really a good idea to take a walk especially students like us who seldom take exercises. I don't understand what is running in their brain, rather sitting in the room and enjoy Astro... during a holiday up in Cameron??? Why don't they just stay at home and watch Astro in their cozy room?

Bought a lot of things in Brinchang's night market. Irene bought a lot of strawberries and chilly tomatoes, and the other 2 couples also bought a lot of things back. Those who followed me up are really satisfied with the trip eventhough it's a 3km walk to and fro. When we're back, it's just nice time for steamboat. Those who decided not to go up with us have prepared the food for us. I'm thankful, but i don't really agree with not going up together. It's their graduation trip, why can't they just stay together for the very last time???

There's something i love about my gang, they are huge eaters. Compared to this group of people, who ate so little, end up i've been eating a few more rounds while reading The Rules of Four in between breaks. Good part is the best is left for the last, fish fillets and wantan are all put inside at the end. Me alone fill it all into my stomach. Thank god those things are well prepared, if not sure lausai the next morning.

Slept earlier compared to the rest of the group. Din join the group for their "graduation talk" as i can sense that among them there's someone who doesn't fell comfortable when i'm in the room listening. Who cares anyway? Gossips never been my cup of tea. Better have a good night sleep to prepare myself for the next day.

Gunung Ledang

Yeah! Finally visited Gunung Ledang after hearing about it for such a long time in the geography and history textbooks. Didn't really conquer the whole moutain, but at least we managed to get halfway there. Wan Choon told me if i was free to go Sagil or Tangkak, but i didn't aspect to be climbing up Gunung Ledang. I'm really bad at places, and road signs that's for sure. I only get myself ready the night before.

We get into the Tangkak exit on the highway, which is their main town. Took our breakfast there, had such great Roti Canai worth mentioning. It's crispy, though small, but delicious. The teh tarik offered there is also tasty, not too sweet, nor too bitter. After breakfast, we proceed to Sagil from Tangkak, which is where Gunung Ledang is situated.

I was told it would take us 8 hours to climb up and down Gunung Ledang, but we end up taking around 2 hours to complete the hike up hill. The track is not a smooth one, but manageable that's for sure. Was being cheated by the guard which claims a half and hour trip to be two hours. By the time i reached the Check Point 4 (our final destination) i still have a lot of strength left...which i kept for the other 1 hour 30 minutes. Dang!

An accident occur, which i find quite funny. Ding Wen got himself badly cut near his right eye. It's a tragic for sure, but let me explain the funny part first. Ah Yap was washing his face with his four flat on the ground on the waterfall. And Ding Wen tried to do the same thing, but his shoes which are badly torned slipped which caused him to fall and knocked his face. His wound was bleeding so badly we all thought it need to be stiched. Met up with some of our juniors there which was fortunate enough to have brought a first aid kit. We continue our journey up while Yee Jen volunteered to stay back to accompany Ding Wen.

The water is quite cooling up there, and it's really clean enough for drinking. I kept some water in the bottle, and i can say it's cleaner then the tap water without the cholorine and going through rusty pipes.

Took Ding Wen to Pantai Hospital once we come back to Melaka. It took me less then an hour to reach back as the place is in the border of Johor and Melaka (as i was told). They clinic charged him RM71 for the treatment. Wow! this hospital really knows how to earn money! No wonder there's so many people wanted to send their children for medical school.

Went to M@rimo and Chyoli's belated birthday party at Xuan around 10pm. Was happy to see a new girl singing up there rather then the same band which usually sing during the weekends. It's not that they are not good, but with a new vocalist, it cheered up the crowd more. The gal is cute, but too bad i don't have a chance to take a photo with her. Maybe some other time...doesn't really matter though. It's getting late, had a tiring day, better sleep now. I had deleted Adobe Photoshop from my computer, photos will be uploaded as soon as I install Photoshop CS

It's Holiday!!!

Finally finished my last paper yesterday. Regret i din study this paper during my study week as i tot i'll have ample time to read thru it later. But i forgot to calculate the time i'll have to spend on falling sick and also "moodless" time to study especially when u see most of your friends go out and play. Well, lesson learnt, next time study the last paper 1st before goin anywhere.

Anyway, have been watching Naruto anime all night that my housemate Bryant have been downloading. Took me quite a few long hours sitting in front of the PC to finished 3 full months of anime (maybe more,.....lost count). Woke up around 12 as i slept at 5am in the morning.

Have been trying to work on a review for "Engineering and Society" textbook for KNPau. If he's going to give me credit on the review version of the book, i'll gladly work on the other chapters. Up till now, i've only written down the mistakes in the first chapter.

Went to Ice World, Melaka with Irene after dinner at Kenny Rogers. It's not a huge place, but it satisfies the local society especially those that have never been thru winter. The place it quite nicely decorated with ice sculptures. I have the chance to try out the "condensation" on my camera. The battery doesn't wear off even after being in there for 90 minutes, it's only that the camera should be on the tripod as my hands will be shaking with freeze. Before i come out, i put the camera in an airtight tupperware to make sure condensation happens on the outside of the box and not from the inside. Luckily wut i was told is effective...if not, my digital camera will end up like the analog camera i used to play with - fully grown with fungus. Phjotos will be posted shortly, as i'm going to Gunung Ledang early tomolo morning. Yeah!!! Now that's wut i call life!

Wut am i goin to do next 2 months? Hm...hopefully i can find a job at Bukit Jambul to earn myself some extra cash to fund my hobby. We'll see how things goes.

Sir Isaac Newton's Enemy

I never knew or heard about any stories about great scientists who are enimies until i managed to find info about it on Robert Hooke's biography on wikipedia.



Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton entertained a considerable mutual dislike for each other. They fell out in 1672 when Hooke criticized Newton's presentation showing that prisms split white light rather than modifying it. Newton expressed fury that Hooke seemed unable to grasp his ground-breaking discovery, and threatened to leave the Royal Society.

Relations between the men grew worse as time progressed. In 1679, Hooke wrote to Newton advocating an inverse square law of gravitation, though he lacked the mathematical ability to formally prove it. When Newton published his Principia Mathematica in 1687, including a proof of an inverse square law, he failed to credit Hooke at all.

The famous Newton quote, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants", appeared originally in a letter to Hooke, and Newton presumably intended it as a sarcastic remark directed against Hooke, who had a remarkably short stature.

Haha...for those of you who are not in the science stream, he's the one we learn about in Hooke's law, concerning elasticity. As for Sir Isaac Newton...he's no other then the person who derive
newton's law of gravity, mentioned about the 7 light colors and calculus.

Learning and researching further i found out how technology have changed people. Macro shots of a butterfly can be done by most compact digital cameras these days. But during the 17 th century, these drawings are done using a microscopic glass, and the artist have to painfully draw a dead fly. It's featured in " Micrographia" which was published in 1665.

and here's how Alton Vance did it with a Canon EOS 10D with a 65mm Macro lens and Macro Twin Light MT-24EX. (2 inches from the subject )

Yea, it's my bday!

365 days juz passed and it's my birthday again. I've received an early present from Irene during CNY, a comforter and bedsheet set. Not forgetting the David Tao's autographed album she bought for me when we were in Seremban. I remembered she told me that "hueng, u know i've to sacrificed myself to shake hands with other guys juz to get an autograph for u". Such a cute gal...wut "sacrifice" pulak~ Funny!. I also received a dolly cow from shiau fei when she was visiting me two weeks ago. Thanks to both of u. What i like about shiau fei's present is that she purposely took the effort to find a "cow" wrapper to wrap the present up for me. THE COW is actually how we get to know each other during E-Nite 4 years ago. Some memorable times i shall say.

Two days ago i received 2 postcards from an anoynomous sender, it's glued with two pieces of paper which doesn't form any meaning behind promotional flyers. But when u read both these pieces together, u'll find that its actually a song by jay chow (xin1 qing2). The song only leads me to one author - my lovely shiau fei. I'm very happy yet felt sorry cause can't make it to meet her in KL y'day as i've my finals next week. Wut shocked me more is that yesterday she sent me the Tropicana Wallet that i wanted by Pos Laju!!! Shiau Fei, i've received ur care, no need spend so much money one lah. It's the heart that counts.

Before going back from library last night, Mint mui mui says that she has smth for me. I was worried that she'll be giving me the same wallet. What a relief when it's actually a shirt by Padini Authentics. Tried it on last night, it fits nicely. Thanks Ming Zheng! She wrote a note "To White Chocolate KorKor" Haha...i love that. It actually shows the link between us. White Chocolate and Chapatti Mui Mui. :))

Su Wei said in yahoo groups that she's goin to give me a surprise for my birthday. She's suppose to be studying in London now, but i received her SMS from her Penang handphone right after midnight. This girl really surprised me! Haha...have a brief chat with her before going back to my books. Thanks for calling gal!

Studied till 3.30am in the morning, beh tahan then go straight to bed. I was suppose to wake M@rimo mui mui up in the morning, but it's the other way round this morning. Haha, pai seh ya~! Have breakfast with my group of friends at a DimSum Shop in a rainny morning. That's so romantic! Haha...wut am i talking about. Yet i'm glad that these friends managed to wake up so early just to celebrate my birthday (and boon's one as well). YeeJen smsed me last night saying that he can't make it, but it's understandable as he's far away in Cyberjaya. Wan Choon is back in Jasin, so he asked AhYap to pass me the message.

Boon Boon called me few days ago asking me which wallet i want. And there's no doubt that they are goin to give me a wallet for my birthday. Hey, i've 2 wallets for my birthday, can switch in between them alternately to use. Wut more can be better then having 2 wallets. Thanks for the gifts my friends.

Was too tired that i slept right after the meal till around 1pm. And now, here I am in the library, hoping that what i read can actually gets into my brain. Will post up the pictures of the things i get later.

Dad banked in RM2k for me last week. He tot i haven't paid my fees yet. Hm...i'll assume that he's giving me that as a birthday present. Thanks dad!

And lastly, u know wut i got for myself this bday? A pair of slippers ( Rm13.90) from Tesco. Have been thinking of buying or not for a long time. Haha...wut a fickle minded 23-year-old.

Happy April Fools Day

And a happy birthday to the girls Soon Thien Siew and Deborah, both final year in MMU. Good luck in ur future undertakings!!! I juz happened to knew Deborah's bday fell on April Fool's day few weeks ago. These two girls are born the same year and same day. But i doubt they know each other. I've no idea...never tried to ask.

It's 24 minutes to end the day, and i'm not being fooled once. Thank god. For u out there who loves to play a fool of ur friends, i only managed to receive two April Fool jokes

For the rest of you....good luck in the finals!
