The whole principle calling everyone else a PENDATANG or PENUMPANG and the beating of the chinese doods on National Day yes NATIONAL DAY...yet the country still urges us to be patriotic... TRIES their best to make a big fuss about the 31st of August but in all truth they only appreciate the public holiday it offers haha...and i speak for myself to. I TRIED to be patriotic about it but really mmm just not feeling it man...<br /><br />The whole idea of 1 Malaysia is a noble idea i must say...yes i appreciate the effort of trying to bridge the gap between the races but really coming out with KEMPEN after KEMPEN is not going to help and if its anything it just provides the stand up comedians n critics a whole load of ammunition...we really dont mean to laugh at it but when such KEMPENs come out a whole load of crap from respective organizations come out too...haha its like a well choreographed dance.<br /><br />I can go on n on about how unfair things have been, i can go on n on about how we can use history to show that even the POLITICALLY claimed original people are not original...but what i really want to talk about is WHY are WE being ATTACKED by these ppl...to be honest this simple mind of mine cannot come up with any answers....i read this article and it has shed a little light on the issue<br /><br /><h3 style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><span class="UIStory_Message" style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/2010/09/ultimate-malaysian-debate-malaysia-or.html?spref=fb" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/2010/0</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>9/ultimate-malaysian-debate-malaysia-or.</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>html?spref=fb</a></span></h3><br />and the follow up<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;">http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/special-reports/34254-princess-of-malay-traitors-gives-perkasa-royal-lashing</span><br /><br />now the side i'm takin is NO not the side of TRUTH really truth? in this doggy dog eat world nahh...i'm taking the side of LOGIC and COMMON SENSE no not 5 cents or the 6th sense just plain simple common sense. There are what Nurul puts it as progressive malays who are trying to break out n speak their mind...but then there are those who constantly use the same words n tactic to silence them...for CONTOH:<br /><br />"Blood Traitor"<br />"No respect for the malay rights"<br />"dishouring the king"<br /><br />and many many more slurs that they just throw at them....Am i<br /><br />Trying to start a fight? No i'm not<br /><br />Then whats the purpose of this post...well i just wanted to speak a little of my mind not too much just a little cause i dont wan to end up in a detention centre too haha...agree with me or disagree with me tell me about it...solutions i cant give cause i'm no where near to being a politician but as a young adult (aiyer feel so weird calling myself that) I think i can play my part by ignoring the nonsensical slurs that they throw at me and just stay n support those who think with their brains...because as much as EVERYONE knows what they say is NOT TRUE and throwing facts back at them will not help WHY??? well simply cause some ppl are born with half a brain and they only wan to use 1/4 of it....hahaha i'm just kidding well its cause they just are simply INSECURE yes INSECURE...insecurity KILLS....period...insecurity leaves them susceptible to the so called 'brain washing' propagandas that are being spread like a disease only problem is there is no cure for this disease....YET...<br /><br />Malaysia is a lovely place...i've traveled to many countries before and as screwed up as things can be here I still prefer to come back haha...I also believe that if Malaysia can pull thru...we will definitely be a SHINNING example of how so many races can co exist which in turn i HOPE can stop racism all together...We've sang songs about RACISM, we've played Football to try n stop RACISM, we've painted pictures, heard talks, heard stories from kids, done pledges, joined groups....it looks like everything is been done to stop or at least REDUCE it but nothing seems to be working on the long run...another million dollar question WHY?<abbr title="Friday, September 3, 2010 at 12:05am" date="Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:05:54 -0700" class="timestamp"><br /><br /><br /><br /></abbr><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihA98voiFdWupXxPURqHTm8CGSHD_pzJsibTTkmCP_gjAInU5kpltYl0hcNSspozhfxQwDlw8JixKP1plv5BSrtEt3lLHKJfSIFI-nChWFiPYXRtCAJYQiRUNIMr5gq-YNu5LAgvIiGUll/s1600/Love.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Once again, spent also 3/4 of the month January in the Library studying my butt off...On the last day the 23rd of Jan, we had SP1 which was a real *****. Anyways after the exam got back home first thing i did was SLEEP!! really really was sleep deprived since X'mas ended haha...oh n the new year for me didn't really kick off on the very best note haha but oh well...things would be better (i hope) *prays*....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Once my thirst for SLEEP was satisfied, I had another thirst i need to satisfy. My thirst for HOEGAARDEN!!!...yes HOEGAARDEN...if you dont know what is HOEGAARDEN go google it...haha. So moving from 1 library to the other, Dharma, Leslie and I made our way to The Library in Cineileisure Damansara for out fix of alcohol...=)...Now THIS Library we wouldn't mind spending 3/4 of the month at hahaha provided our fathers shit money every morning la hahaha...The lot of us enjoyed the Hoegaarden, it was SOO heavenly and nothing beats a good pint of Hoegaarden after working your butt off for a whole freaking month...hahaha...So the total amount of Hoegaarden consumed that night was 9 pints, each of us had 3 pints each so that sums up to 1440 liters of HEAVENLY LIQUID...=) All of us went back home and slept smiling....*smiles* so here are a few pics that I manage to take that night. If you guys wan to just sit n chill with a nice cold beer and live music, The Library is definitely the place to be....=)</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqtGZpoWQ5sTzwF7GlBqTGJz8Aszy5O-o8UEdEjGL5P9RFIT00k1a3AOvI93Ms96zAKquXz8g2AYeNSBxkNpGr0pGXckRkn1E4GqWStR3ZG2uQ7YLiU8RozchL1Es436VGIwMtRTudflgs/s1600-h/P1040955.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It really hurts that things had to come to this, as much as i tried to prepare myself for it nothing could have prepared me for this. Settling for less was hard, but I was lucky i still had something...now it just feels like i've lost so much. We pass by each other like strangers meeting in the hall way. We talk like mere acquaintances. Thru it all i realize that I needed you more than you needed me, hate to admit it but its true. </span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-45039357909969216402010-01-08T22:31:00.016+08:002010-01-08T23:14:07.909+08:00Pursuit Of Happyness<span style="font-family:arial;">yes i am back...like finally haha...well in my absence a miss deng decided to help me blog which i really really appreciate totally unexpected hahaha...=)...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So recent events in my life has finally managed to kick me hard enough in the arse to blog haha...my gosh a lot has happen in this pass few months.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So happiness, we all yearn for it, crave it, want it, is willing to do anything just to get it??hmmm well it is true for some. Personally i dont believe in hurting others just so that we can achieve our OWN happiness. What is happiness if you have no one to share it with? It would really be pointless for me to say this to ppl who are self centered. I do feel sorry for them too as they have to put others down just so that they can feel good.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Then there are those who are willing to do almost anything just to make the ones that are dear to them feel special and happy. They take joy in seeing their love ones smile and get excited over the little things in life that matters.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As of now i can only think of these two, as i'm totally bogged down with exams and i really think i'm losing my mind...=( hahaha...so i decided to chill a little n take friday night off. (or maybe not =x)...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And on the pursuit towards happiness...i am very much aware that the hard way hurts...that is why it was called the hard way to begin with no? hahaha hurt as it may, whatever that does not kill me, will make me stronger...but do i feel stronger? no not yet...i realize that I have manage to push myself this time to really sit n study for quite long periods and i am actually quite amaze haha...then i realize this may be me reacting to recent events in my life. Trying to push away the sorrows by covering it up with work </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >and alcohol</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> and music. I really feel mentally exhausted and at times like this you really wish you are not alone...well technically i am not cause i have 119 other goons with me suffering from BOB and some of them from INC hahaha...but you get what i'm trying to say and if you dont welllll........too bad haha...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So what are YOU willing to do to achieve happiness?</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZBoWvLUHL7P0utKvB3O2znPEDQuIqpGEuQQJyNcts0aRmJSwtaGUnXHv38uk7TfO2sGHu4AeWehrvuDHEwiW-pVMVOU__bx-7Mrn1AeaT8RK1CxjCzLQVQsYojxsartudMopgUaZ2bWe4/s1600-h/happy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 145px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZBoWvLUHL7P0utKvB3O2znPEDQuIqpGEuQQJyNcts0aRmJSwtaGUnXHv38uk7TfO2sGHu4AeWehrvuDHEwiW-pVMVOU__bx-7Mrn1AeaT8RK1CxjCzLQVQsYojxsartudMopgUaZ2bWe4/s400/happy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424385039735131922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">To me i take joy in seeing others being happy and that is no piece of crap haha...it is nice to see a little bit of love going around when the world is so filled with hatred.

Poor 13 somehow along the way in history got associated with BAD LUCK.

Whiteout is a phenomenon whereby the weather gets so bad that winds can reach up to 100 mph and you can not see more than 6 inches in front of you. So the movie is about a group of geologist who were out on their expedition </span><span style="font-family:arial;">searching for meteorites</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> until 1 day they stumbled upon something very precious. The story slowly unfolds itself with flashbacks and a twist or two. Carrie Stetko(Kate Beckinsale) plays a U.S Marshall who is determined to hunt down the murderer and solve the mystery involved as the team of geologist dies 1 by 1....i personally like movies like this where I cant guess the endings. During the movie you are bound to feel SUSPENSE haha and the element of suspense is not disappointing at all and will most definitely bring you to the edge of your sits. The twist in the movie is relatively good BUT the movie is quite short. I however enjoyed it and would recommend you to watch it despite the length of the movie. It is rated 18 PL...i think...but there really isn't much unless the good Malaysian Board of Censorship CENSORED off all the good parts hahaha...there is a certain extend of Goriness in the movie but if you managed to survive Final Destination 4 then this would be a stroll in the park for you. The movie will be premiering in Cinemas this Thursday i think which is the 15th of Oct so go watch it....The movie's cast includes KATE BECKINSALE (love her) </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Shawn Doyle and Nicolas Wright</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5NzqaHURhJZ91QX8uJVUifWzowgqyz-AT85S5PmnqhHLrh2pGynJnT5DcjTh4_l6BqfQvtBgYgaZ-lVkAyTMqOwK1zQI4h49NJgsdXSgOWdMq4VIXopvxiTrcIvB1pTWD1hKPA0O0dmbO/s1600-h/kate_beckinsale_whiteout_movie_image.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5NzqaHURhJZ91QX8uJVUifWzowgqyz-AT85S5PmnqhHLrh2pGynJnT5DcjTh4_l6BqfQvtBgYgaZ-lVkAyTMqOwK1zQI4h49NJgsdXSgOWdMq4VIXopvxiTrcIvB1pTWD1hKPA0O0dmbO/s320/kate_beckinsale_whiteout_movie_image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392497406120063058" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLW96IWGuSKt8aWM6aarFQL6dNGbQvEZzMbXavOJbY4GA_n4ublCkY5Nmh5kqu1sT1P933fC3OqKBFODUUqNJNV9WuaEDU6ZmyyGBZ16Yo7m_L9kZRdEPxmUYh4itGGvHgG46fOnnWfoia/s1600-h/whiteout-movie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLW96IWGuSKt8aWM6aarFQL6dNGbQvEZzMbXavOJbY4GA_n4ublCkY5Nmh5kqu1sT1P933fC3OqKBFODUUqNJNV9WuaEDU6ZmyyGBZ16Yo7m_L9kZRdEPxmUYh4itGGvHgG46fOnnWfoia/s320/whiteout-movie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392497390517663906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVXc51VXJ2WbqWRxhCtX_vPEjDgxEU6doVTOr5sxIrVBrtgsE9wb3vV8QAGiToEssof2Fysnq0ZQdtnhG1baXnacPwhPzLoiLx0oHEnF1hftD253DjutVfG_cuQFm0XliFcYfLj8zyvEf/s1600-h/Whiteout-movie-12.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 135px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCVXc51VXJ2WbqWRxhCtX_vPEjDgxEU6doVTOr5sxIrVBrtgsE9wb3vV8QAGiToEssof2Fysnq0ZQdtnhG1baXnacPwhPzLoiLx0oHEnF1hftD253DjutVfG_cuQFm0XliFcYfLj8zyvEf/s320/Whiteout-movie-12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392497787416853442" border="0" /></a><br />...............................................................................<br /><br />Here is the trailer, feast your eyes on this!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UhHGG2em38g&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UhHGG2em38g&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="295"></embed></object><br /></div>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-10232951561401468692009-10-05T23:43:00.006+08:002009-10-06T00:42:24.883+08:00Anger Management<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >As the title suggest this post is going to get hot hot hot...hahaha i've never had a post like this so here goes...i'll try to be as gentle as possible for the benefit of everyone.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >The one thing that ticks me off...that i have really REALLY low tolerance towards is when ppl change because of POWER.

I reach out my hand hoping to feel something warm, something familiar but no, all I feel is emptiness. Am I ok? Yes I am but I'm only human and seeing something that I have nurtured grow into what i thought was so beautiful, what I thought was going to keep growing, something that would not fail when everything else does. All my emotions every drop of it pouring into that one thing and one thing only....finally dying so abruptly. Yes only time can heal and yes it has been healing, nevertheless my confidence has dropped, my self esteem trying to find its way back to me. I'm already packing up and bringin my act else where, and so ladies and gents this is a little glimpse into my inner soul.

YES they beat the Gu</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >ooon</span><span style="font-family:arial;">erss YES Man Utd did walk away with 3 points and i guess ultimately that is the whole idea...it really doesn't matter THATTTTTT much who Man Utd beats ... its I believe a lot more to "good they have won yet another game to help them with the season" but what makes this win so special?? .... well i guess its because of the hype about Man Utd losing to a newly promoted side and Arsenal starting off the season with such a bang so putting 1 to 1 Arsenal were expected to HANTAM!!! Man Utd at home .... this defeat just shows that...The season is still so FRESH la dont talk cock sing song all about winning the title already just cause they went on a trashing spree for their FIRST 3 GAMES....=.=....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So about the game...all in all i would say it was a good game honestly not just because Man Utd won...but it was not 1 sided and chances were there for both sides....If you look at big games its always about who would break first MENTALLY....like the goal from Arshravin (or however you spell his name) Vidic should have closed him down and not allow him to shoot....as for Ben Foster...i guess he just wasn't expecting a shoot like that BUT take nothing away from the small russian dood it was a great goal...Then came the PENALTY which i believe changed the whole course of the game...once again things like this are not RARE it is quite common especially in big games....did rooney dive to get the penalty...NO...Almunia clearly TA PAU the fella which was kinda unessecary cause if rooney would have gotten the ball it would be a lot harder to put it pass Almunia. After the penalty, came the Freekick that GIGGSY took....a silly mistake by diaby and BAM!!! OWNNNN GOALLLL!!!!!! but if you watch the replay for that, Rooney was right behind Diaby and if Diaby let it go it would have fallen right into Rooney's feet and also BAMM!!!! but this time GOALLLL!!!!! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So that is about it...the highlights of the match...apart from the fact that Ben Foster managed a BRILLIANT reaction save and that Arsenal had 6 </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-family: arial;">Yellow Cards</span><span style="font-family: arial;">.... Man Utd's lost to Burnley didn't really come as a BIG surprise for me...Shit happens in in life and in FOOTBALL so you better Buckle Up cause I can see an interesting season dawning upon us with more matches like this to come and perhaps more DRAMA!!! +)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-family:arial;" ><br /></span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-84433453166343250862009-08-18T02:06:00.006+08:002009-08-18T12:26:59.780+08:00Of Raining Mornings and Sunny Afternoons<span style="font-family:arial;">Well its been a very long while since i blogged and its mainly because i'm on summer break and I really have no motivation to go about being my active self. BUTTTTT i'm really not complaining, i'm enjoying the laid back life i have right now...KINDA stress free, really NOTHING much to worry about and the occasionnal hanging out with frens is all very much NICE!!!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So of rainy mornings and sunny afternoons huh...well that title has been stucked in my head for quite some time and it really has nothing to do with anything i'm goin to write about hahaha in fact i'm not to sure what i'm goin to write about. There has been however a few days that were literally raining in the morning and bright and sunny in the afternoon. To be honest i actually like that kind of weather hahaha the nice cold weather outside in the morning just makes curling up in bed oooooo so much nicer and the sunny afternoons welll are just sunny afternoons hahaha....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So ppl have been asking me how on good old planet earth do i survive 4 months of holiday practically doing NOTHING....hahaha...well there really only is 1 rule....TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES....i literally dont worry about what is going to happen tomorrow and just do what i feel like doing. =) NOT PLANNING for what i'm going to do tomorrow is really not me...when the semester begins again...i'll be constantly looking at the calendar planning and planning prioritising events and stuffs.....and things can really get out of hand sometimes ask any chemical engineer and they'll say pretty much the same thing...so when summer dawns upons us or ME specifically, I guess i just dont wanna work on high gear and thats why i opt for a very much more laidback lifestyle hahaha...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ppl say i should get a part time job instead of just bumming around...well if I find a part time job worth doing ( NOT FOR THE MONEY ) then i would...besides sitting alone at home for most of the day gives me some time to myself too... Sitting here in my computer room watching as ppl go on with their lives thru FB and MSN and their BLOGS is quite interesting. Sometimes being awake at this hour alone...thoughts would creep into my mind...NO not negative thoughts...just thoughts of who I was and how did i get here and where am i now and where am I headed to....I was actually watching Yasmin Ahmad's commercials before blogging and she(he) really knows what she want her audience to FEEL, SENSE, THINK....of course I speak for those who are open minded and not those who look at her commercials thinking that it must have a hidden racist agenda....Here is the link to 1 of my favourite and its not because of interacial marriage but because of what the indian lady said....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XLZsiCBsA.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">apparently Yasmin Ahmad took the idea from the movie Good Will Hunting...but whatever la....what really struck me was the things said in the ad....and I really have to agree that being with our partners knowing their 'imperfections' is what makes them beautifully perfect and when they are gone it is the little things that you remember....like the way she laughs or smiles...or looks at you when you go on non stop ranting about that stupid driver....it is the little things that really matter after all...but this is said a lot more than done...when i watch this type of ads or listen to songs that i can really relate too...i get sudden burst of inspirations and thoughts...anyways while you are at that link look at the related videos and there are a few videos from thailand (not by yasmin ahmad) that are worth watching also...for those with a weaker heart i suggest you prepare tissues cause tears...i can gurantee you will be there hahaha....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">well i guess thats all i have to say for now...so spend some time with yourself to get to know yourself better...if you dont know yourself how are you going to share YOU with the world...=)....</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-44305166476300810432009-07-27T00:06:00.005+08:002009-07-27T01:36:13.436+08:001st Time For Everything<span style="font-family: arial;">Alrite i know this post is about 1 week late and my excuse for it being late is that I was just too lazy to do anything but watch tv series and sleep. hahaha....anyways like the title suggest there is always a 1st time for everything and last week I had 2 events that was my first time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">FIRST - It was MPO. So many years being a musician i have never seen a ochestra playing live before and come to think of it, it is pretty damn sad hahaha...so a whole lot of use went for this show ( cant remember the name and no its not because it was that bad ) and i enjoyed it. Although i did dose off here n there hahaha. We had to dress up like super formal in coat n all. The 3 main singers were awesome and the choir was i have to say better than HFC choir...sigh...but these ppl are I would like to believe PROFESSIONALLY trained...hahaha wherelse the HFC choir is just a group of guys n girls coming together and singing their hearts out for the greater glory. Anyways the violins were stunning and now i finally understand what my piano teacher wanted when she yelled at me MARK SOFTER SOFTER....just a rough idea of how the dinamics are...when they say soft it means to the extend of barely hearing anything but in the faint distance u can hear something...makes any sense to you? hahaha well it does to me...soooooo MPO was fun oh n it was my first time mamaking in FORMAL clothes too haha...so 2 first timers in 1 night woohoo....</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">SECOND - Man Utd was in town last week and they played against a Malaysian selection AND this happened on Saturday which clashed with MPO. I was a little disappointed but then again was thinkin i'll catch them the next time they come around. So the results of the match was of course quite unexpected. Malaysian hero Amri Yahya capitalized on his chances and gave Malaysia a lifeline and a chance at that game but ultimately Man Utd showed us once again why big buck players are called BIG BUCK PLAYERS only this time it came in the form of a free transfer agent...=)....I only manage to know the result of the match the following day which is a Sunday and flipping thru the pages something caught my eye... MAN UTD. TO PLAY A REMATCH WITH MALAYSIAN XI...and i was like WTF!!!! this is it...this is my second chance to watch the game LIVE...I was not going to miss out on this opportunity and after mass called that monkey finger fella and nick. Gomez agreed to go with me to Bukik Jalil to get the tics but the last minute he FFK me...=.=...so I by hook or by crook was going to go get the tics. I left my house at about 3pm and reached Bukik Jalil Stadium at about 3.20pm and when i saw the line, instincts kick in and i slow jog towards the line...looking to my right a couple was staring right at me n i staring right back at them thankfully the girl tak boleh lari so i made it to the line first hahaha....so Singaporean Kiasu Mentality...hahaha....</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6CwEeQIqGm2Qbh6H3O4BlNx96PkEUy9himTLjg7NSI6dO4euRDU2QLrTnUGewXZM3tF-UvM1FPtkCWfOBNBIy6Y_eewp7QSm8ZMA9lobmO2rqse8xYY06tu59fPrwTEMp17qzjjy0kMB/s1600-h/Image1235.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6CwEeQIqGm2Qbh6H3O4BlNx96PkEUy9himTLjg7NSI6dO4euRDU2QLrTnUGewXZM3tF-UvM1FPtkCWfOBNBIy6Y_eewp7QSm8ZMA9lobmO2rqse8xYY06tu59fPrwTEMp17qzjjy0kMB/s320/Image1235.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362817437000980370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">From where i stood when i got there<br /></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">So there i was lining up </span>infront of that couple...=)....under the hot sun hoping that the line would thin out fast...and then it hit me...why is it taking ppl so long to get the blady tics when all they have to do is say how many ppl...its not like they were at the movies trying to decide what show to watch...=.=...thanks to that Gomez fella i had to wait there alone...=(...but for Man Utd. I was willing hahaha....anyways after about 40 minutes or so...which is relatively a short time but since the sun was blazing it'll be categorized under LONG WAIT...so after the long wait the line then look something like this<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div></div></div> <div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxX433hL3qr0yUPkC38wbtyUFGM08b9Kri6IPGJEGcA6ADXjogEkGrLidic7N0QChVnY0Jn63Yp3X-P5E3phlUX-1qu7gxe1iJ0PNR5gOdaJvExkJ7oISsTZCkJX18Nv6NRPxwMiCDoOX/s1600-h/Image1236.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxX433hL3qr0yUPkC38wbtyUFGM08b9Kri6IPGJEGcA6ADXjogEkGrLidic7N0QChVnY0Jn63Yp3X-P5E3phlUX-1qu7gxe1iJ0PNR5gOdaJvExkJ7oISsTZCkJX18Nv6NRPxwMiCDoOX/s320/Image1236.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362818805220642402" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >40 minutes later</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />When I took the pic at this position there was this fella on the other line suddenly said "WHAT SOLD OUT" I was like Fish la Fish...i waited under the HOT sun for so LONG all ALONE then the bugger say sold out...first thing that came to my mind was...KILL GOMEZ...2nd was....well...nothing actually hahahaha....luckily for GOMEZ the fella repeated himself again this time sayin " WHAT the 308 SOLD OUT"...and i was like phew the RM 308 tics is it...sigh...its not good you know give ppl this kinda shock...especially when there are lives on the line...so a few minutes later, with ticket in hand and smile on face and satisfaction at heart...I couldn't wait to watch Man Utd play...the thought of seeing Rooney and Ferdinand and Evra and the whole lot of them play was ORGASMIC...hahaha....<br /><br /><br /><br />MATCH DAY - So then match day came and the whole lot of us decided to be there 3 hours before the match...by the time we reached the stadium which was at 5.20pm the crowd outside the gate was like this (picture doesn't wanna come unto blogger) it wasn't the largest crowd i've seen in 1 given area but it was sure good to see so many Man Utd fans hahaha....anyways the game was good, the atmosphere was awesome...Man Utd....ahhhh....still my favs....and to sum it all up just watch the 2 videos below....So on MATCH DAY it was my first time going to a footbal game...it was my first time watching Man Utd play LIVE!!!....it was my first time gathering with so many Man Utd fans...it was my first time doing a mexican wave with thousands of ppl hahaha....all in all that weekend was a nice change for the normal weekends i have been having...so thats all from this post watch the videos...=) cheers<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />ps - blogger doesn't wanna cooperate with me so i cant upload the videos now...sorry for any incovenience caused...<br /><br /><br /></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"></div>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-51672381513737851202009-07-04T21:14:00.003+08:002009-07-04T21:59:46.700+08:00The Silence Is Broken<span style="font-family:arial;">OK finally i have enough of inspiration to write just a weee bitt hahaha...I've been kept shut by the plain fact that nothing much has been going on in my life...everything is or should i say was same old same old...But recent events have made me bring out the thinkin box</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I have been struck dumbfounded a few times in the past week. I was once again reminded of how interesting and unique homo sapiens are. How some believe that when the going gets tough on one side just switch to the other. How decisions are made without thinking of the repercussions.<br /><br />We all have made decisions in life....some very significant some less significant. Some ppl look at all their options before choosing what would suit them best and disregard others. Some would just make decisions without thinkin twice or the repercusions it'll bring after making such a decision. It is definately undeniable that we control our lives, yes and yes we dont have to care about what others think about who we are and what we do or how we express ourselves. Honestly, i do believe in this too but everything comes with a limit. When we make decisions that are life altering, it does not just alter YOUR life it changes the lifes of the ppl around you. Talking about change, ppl change for a reason or two, perhaps it was an event that happened to them personally or perhaps the change really isn't in others. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">How do i know what i'm doing in life is right, how do i know this is the right path...these questions have most definitely been on our minds unless you really are so blatantly ignorant to where you are headed in life. My answer to these questions would be...look at how ppl around you are reacting. Reacting to the decisions you make, the lifestyle you live, the way you bring yourself cause i believe that every action we take has an equal reaction. It is simple physics but it sure can be applied in our daily life. I'm not trying to say that we have to be self conscious all i'm saying is that sometimes when we keep asking questions like why is this happening to me, why are ppl treating me like this, why is my life heading in this direction...maybe it's only fair to take a step back and just think...are my actions causing this? or am i just caught up in the middle of a situation. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I've been sitting back and watching and the sights i'm seeing are not gettin any prettier. Can i do something about it...perhaps...Responsibility is a word that is very under rated. Maturity is even more more MORE under rated. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Being responsible and matured doesn't mean old and boring</span>... they are not synonyms agree with me or disagree with me i wanna hear all about it. Asking me for knitty gritty details i'm just going to say sorry. Has the recent events in my life compelled me to write this post YES.<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So that will be all from me now i really wish i could write more but let me go think first before i come back....hahaha...Cheers!!</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-49872762860553098562009-05-02T00:21:00.004+08:002009-05-03T00:27:56.507+08:00Mark Lim Emo Boy!!!<span style="font-family:arial;">ok la i see every blog also got emo post so i also wan to have emo post. Cannot be social outcast hahaha....anyways so ready for my emoness....EMOOOOOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOO...ok done....=) hahaha </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">ANYWAYSSSSS.....i see my night at the hospital 2 post till sienz d so have to come up with another post. Since my ordeal at the hospital there was no rest for me, allison said suppose to get at least 1 month rest before resuming anything. UNFORTUNATELY i dont have the luxury of 1 month rest, i had to fire up my cylinders again making sure i was using high octane petrol to be able to catch up on what was lost. So as i mentioned in the previous blog, I did go for my annual dinner and i did perform for my talent quest finals all in pain but but the show must go on and if i would have pulled out i would have disappointed a lot of ppl. (Including myself) Talent quest turned out pretty good for us despite the fact that i was handicapped. We didn't win but personally i thought we won. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Here is the video(http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=524134611&v=feed&story_fbid=77617743829#/group.php?gid=60009384587) just scroll all the way down and join the group if you haven joined.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Then after talent quest, it was Process Engineering Project or a.k.a PEP that was hell i tell you...i had to juggle doing PEP and study math at the same time. The schedule looked like this</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Monday - PEP assignment due</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Wednesday - Math Test</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Thursday - Thermodynamics assignment due.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So at the end of that week a very very VERY sad thing happened. I had to wave goodbye to ann ann...=(....woke up at 5.30am to go to airport to send her off. She'll be gone for 6 months, 6 months only right...ehhh no...now its been a week and its already hard....sighhh....emo emo emo emo emo emo emo...hahahaha...but i'm glad she took on the challenge and went to india. I spoke to her recently and she said some students cant take it and actually pulled out (not from masterskill)....with her absence...hmmm....life is so different....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">That was on the 24th of april a friday and i decided to take some time off studies n rested but cannot rest in peace also cause every morning wake up think of...Ann, MPC, HMT, and SPF. So then study break commenced on the 27th of april. I have been going to Uni all week studyin with dharma. Then today is labour's day d lo...=.=...so fast la...i was kinda hoping the weekend didnt come so fast cause that just means WE ( the chem eng year 1 peeps) have less time. Oh i forgot, on thursday night went out for movie outing with the whole gang (without ann =(... ) we watched x-men origins: wolverine. The movie was good, stan lee had to rewrite the story a little to suite the movies cause it is not the same as the comic book or cartoons. I was hoping to see a little more mutants in action but GAMBIT was f****** chun i tell you hahahaha....is it worth watching...well yeah for sure if you are a marvel or x-men fan like me....hahaha....there is a little love story twist in the movie also...dont worry i'm not goin to give it out...go watch the movie its worth your time. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So today...hmmm...same old same old...MPC MPC MPC....was a bit too much to take d so i decided to take time off studies at night and DOTA hahaha....tomorrow or should i say today...i'll be heading to Uni again to study and get myself away from distractions....(points to tv, computer and musical instruments) hahaha....other than that....thats about it la....the emo part of this post is that i feel overwhelmed right now cause studies wise there is just too much...ask any chemical engineer and they'll say the same perhaps for a few exceptions hahaha....;-)....from the aspect of life...everything is ok nothing out of the ordinary apart from ann being so far away...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Here is a little something that came rigth off the top off my head....(i put here so can access it easier no need to go hotmail...hahaha)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-family:arial;" >all the love i have is with you and none other....with your absence my love for you still thrives on our fond memories and the love you left me before flying off to a far away land. I yearn for your return yet i'm glad that you have partaketh on this extraordinary journey to experience another side of life first hand. Fear not as everyday i still wake up only wanting you to be mine, i'll only be a fool to let such beauty and soul slip by again. I love you, these 3 words, 3 meagre words are the only thing i can give you. Despite our distance, i hope you can feel my love, for my love has been radiating violently here in hopes that it'll reach you. Even if its just a tiny speck of love you may feel, sorrow i shall not feel for at least i know the pain i go through is worth it.<br /><br />xoxxo<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >ps - the above paragraph is original material if anyone should desire to use the material pls PLS mail me or tell me about it first thank you...=)</span></span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-family:arial;" ><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" > </span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-13814180707816796772009-04-04T00:27:00.003+08:002009-04-04T01:14:49.085+08:00Night at the Hospital 2....=)<span style="font-family: arial;">Greetings ppl, yes this is the sequal to the Night At The Hospital which was my first ever blogpost... n yes as the title suggest. I was in the hospital once more this time for 3 days and 2 nights. The last time i was admitted was due to lower abdominal pain n was discharged the following day cause the pain subsided. However this time, the pain came on tuesday night and did not subside the next day (April Fools day) so off to the hospital it was for me AGAIN...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I got up the next day with very minimal amount of sleep due to the stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen. My maid said i look pucat while i waited downstairs for my mom to come get me. I was admitted at about 11am and the doctor scheduled my surgery the very same afternoon. He said it was unwise to wait again since its a reaccurance. So before checkin in i had to go thru a few test first the same old same old. Urine test, blood test and this time they even did an ultra sound on me hahaha...damn cool right...but it hurt like FREAKIN hell k. The fella had to press the thing against my appendix (WHERE IT FREAKING HURT THE MOST) to see if its inflamed. Even with the ultra sound, no1 can determine for sure if its appendicitis but the radiologis said it looked pretty inflamed. So after being wheeled from 1 room to another i laid in bed waiting waiting for the time to come. For me to go under the knife and lose that 1 useless organ of the body and as useless as it is it can still cause a hell lot of pain. So at about 1pm the nurse came in the room with the surgical gown and asked me to put it on. Yes it was bare bak...sexy?hahaha and yes my ass was exposed. The nurse specifically said : " you have to remove everything ah, even ur panties." =.= ... panties? wtf man i dont wear panties man i'm not some cross-dresser. I wear briefs or underpants...=.=...and trust me with the stabbing pain in my abdomen getting changed was hard. Before getting changed i had to be POKED, they inserted that needel thing again to feed me artificially as i would like to put it. The nurse first inserted the needle into my vain in me left hand. But the fluid got stuck n i could see my vain swell. I tell u it was shitty pain man.... and this is not some kind of bad april fool joke k...You would have freaked out if u seen my vain. So the needle was removed and disposed off and they tried again this time in my right hand...wahhlau....like 1 time pain not enough must do AGAIN. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So ok as i was sayin after gettin changed the bed was waiting for me right outside the toilet d. The nurses were pretty eager to get me cut up. So off i was to the Operating Theater. Wonder why they call it that, is there that much of a show when ppl get cut up...hmmm...i certainly guess so. Anyways it was into the elavator and down a floor before i was pushed into the some what waiting room of the OT. After 10, 15 mins the nurses told me alrite we're goin in boy. The OT looks damn cool hahaha though. I was moved onto the operating table and NO it was not made of metal thus my ASS was not freezing. The doctor who puts ppl to sleep (dont know how to spell his profession and lazy to find) was chinese so he spoke to me in cantonese sayin :" ok ah i'm goin to inject the anesthetic now ah." whilst placing the mask over my face. I was thinkin to myself, alrite this is it man. I looked into the mask took 2 deep breaths and the when i finally opened my eyes all i could see was bright lights. I felt very very disorientated and the stabbing pain was still there. I was thinkin to myself omg did i wake up half way thru the operation? and i think said Where am i, where am i. Cause i heard 1 of the nurses sayin the operation is over d BOY...i remember being very agitated and moving around a lot and also my nose was blocked and my throat stuff with mucous. The pain was really unbearable and so they administored pain killer. The first dose went in but nope didn't help, i still was very agitated. So they gave me a 2nd dose and thats when i begin to settle down. I was still very disoriented and i keep slipping in and out of conciousness. When i open my eyes again i could see my room door and my mom standing outside, i could hear her sayin something too but couldn't remember wat, hahaha then after that Ann was there oh boy was i feeling even more relieved. I tried to open my eyes and say hi but tak da ada strength. KOSONG, nil, SIFAR, POCHII, MEI YOU....NADA....all i could do was hold on to Ann's hand. After finally waking up a little, i was damn thirsty but couldn't drink water AT ALL. At about 8pm i finally was able to have my first cup of water and it felt weird, hahaha...seriously. Water never tasted so good before, doctor still did not allow me to eat or even drink milo, it was just clear fluids for me. Just when i thought my ordeal was over, the nurse came in and told me that i need to go pee now or else they'll have to insert a tube into my wee wee....=(....bugger when i heard that the urge of peeing came *snaps fingers* just like that...hahaha....So when i went to the toilet to pee, my gosh i felt weird also, but luckily i manage to pee. Shitting or pls dont get me started all i can say is even up till now shitting is a major task for me as the wound is on my stomach n just incase u ppl didn't notice u need ur stomach muscles to contract and push ur SHIT out. Well i cant do that, i cant use my stomach muscle. So that means no LAUGHING, COUGHIN, SNEEZING, SLEEPING ON MY SIDES (yes that means i sleep in 1 position only) even walking is difficult for me, sitting, bending over, blowing my nose all this trivial stuff is becoming a real TASK for me. Each time i wanna cough or sneeze i need to hold on to my wound to not let it bounce too much or else it'll hurt like hell. I cant sit straight for long and my daily routines has gotten more interesting. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">On thursday i started eating and boy it felt good, FREAKIN good. I did not eat for 36 hours straight and was sustained only by drips. Each day was a real sturggle for me as i was gettin used to my current condition. All the limitation and pain, i just need to overcome them with mind power. Even as i write to every1 today, NOW, i'm hurting. Thank god me family and Ann and sandy came by to visit me as it is utmost uplifting to see your love ones. Apart from my physical pain, I was metally hurt too. Before the operation, i was running on full cylinders balancing love, studies and music. I have my annual dinner on saturday, talent quest finals on tuesday and my semester is coming to and end. Then this happened and it all came to and abrupt stop. My life was slown down from running on fifth gear all the way down to second gear without even goin thru the 3rd and 4th gear. It was hard as i knew there was so much coming up ahead and yet i'm in this condition. All i can do now is sit and wait, and pray for a speedy recovery. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I believe god threw this fast ball at me for a reason i just dont know wat. I will waste not time pondering over it, it will be a page in my book that i will fold and move on hoping that 1 day i would understand why. No1 is to be blamed and as 1 door closes on me i'm hoping another would open. I truly am greatful to my family Mom, Dad, Shaun, Daniel, Celine and Ann for being there for me, as for talent quest this coming tuesday fear not as The Last Minutes will not pull out of the comp as the show must go on. So until next time tata and remember HEALTH IS WEALTH. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >ps ~ i was admitted in KPJ and the pictures and videos will be uploaded in due time...=) cheer ppl and take care</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-45621790577358267172009-03-15T23:39:00.006+08:002009-03-16T00:13:31.246+08:00Man Utd 1 - 4 Liverpool...So What???=)<span style="font-family:arial;">ok guys i'm sure EVERYONE is aware of that recent event and its plastered all over facebook how Man Utd is a loser la they suck la...well i'm here to set a few things straight. First of all i am a MANCHESTER UNITED fan n despite the lost i still am a proud one....=)....honestly there is nothing to be ashame about...yeah they lost at home..yeah they lost 4-1 but its not like it has not HAPPENED before or its not like its not possible. Of course its possible that is why football is called the BEAUTIFUL game. Like in the FA cup how many times have minor league teams SLAIN big boys like Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chealsea. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This recent defeat has sent SHOCKWAVES across the world i would say. Devastated man utd fans would be trying their best to salvage some pride by defending themselves and liverpool fans would be BOMBARDING the man utd fans like crazy n like there is no tomorrow. Well i for one would defend what SHOULD be defended and accept what SHOULD be accepted.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">1) Ppl say that Man Utd fans that fight back are sore losers...ok this is just really REALLY ridiculous. WHY? well we are FANS not PLAYERS so technically we cant really be sore losers. The team i supported lost ok fine so?How does it make me a sore loser by defending what should be defended. Does defending a league title make a team a sore loser? i doubt so right...=)...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">2)Ppl say that Man Utd suck cause they lost at home to Liverpool 4-1. hmmm well yeah true no doubt they lost but to say they suck?hmmm...if Man Utd SUCKSSSS but they are still sitting atop the table with 4 points and 1 game in hand AND Liverpool are at 3rd place....so what does that make Liverpool? you do the math...=) Same case for when ppl say Man Utd are losers...yeah true they lost to Liverpool that does not make them losers....Even giants fall sometimes k NO ONE IS FREAKING PERFECT....n forget not this quote "With a GREAT FALL,comes a GREAT ARISING"...=)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3) Ppl say Liverpool will continue their rampage...well i couldn't care less if they do. Man Utd had a bad day no doubt about that. Liverpool had a great day and a great performance so that i will not take away. But with all this pride and so called glory obtained by slaying Real Madrid in mid week and Man Utd on the weekend, i fear the only thing they see coming is a fall. Once again remember this "with PRIDE comes a GREAT fall" and i'm not making this up you for one knows all this...=)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">4)To one of my friend who said it doesnt matter if Man Utd lifts the cup at the end of the season and that what matters is that Liverpool won Man Utd 4-1....all i have to say that you short sightedness is not my problem and good luck with that and definately definately can tell that you dont really watch much football huh...=)...go for the big fish or the small fish...hmmm judgin by your reaction....it looks like you would prefer the small fish for the big... still not my problem....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">5)Did Man Utd deserve to lose? well yes i would say..why? why would i be so hypocritical to 1 minute support them n the next say they deserve to lose...well all i can say is that they need a big slapp in the face and thats what they got. They went into the game 7 points clear of the pack and with 1 game in hand. If they won against Liverpool that'll put them 10 points clear and 1 game in hand which they would most likely win so that will put them 13 points clear of the pack...Would you still want to watch the most anticipated league in the world?i STRONGLY doubt so...am i tryin to say Man Utd purposely lost out to make things more interesting...hahaha definately not...if they could get a full grip of the EPL they would and it will enable them to concentrate on the remaining 2 cups too if they would have won all the way. What i'm sayin is that its called the beautiful game for a reason...without events like this the game would have never been labelled as THE BEAUTIFUL GAME.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">6)Lastly i would say congrats to Liverpool for going to old trafford and walking away with 3 points and to Man Utd hope the wake up call was loud n clear enough. 1 way i would like to look at the event was that Man Utd became great host by humbling themselves before their guest in hopes that they would return another day with the same spirit...=)...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So to all you FOOTBALL KAKIS out there...GAMES OVER...move on and for the last time look at where your team stands before calling Man Utd a loser. Cause if you are below them then base on logical thinking that would make you a bigger loser so stop calling each other losers...thats a real poor point to fight on...=)CHEERS !!!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">ps ~ before you say i emo la...i angry at the lost la...seriously...do i sound angry at the lost? like i said i'm looking at facts here...=) and its just 1 game dudeeee hahahahaha</span><br /></span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-49898228488495360622009-03-12T01:01:00.004+08:002009-03-12T01:44:40.453+08:00Standing At CrossRoads!!!<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >I just got off the phone with my dear ann, thanks for listening....=)....but since i cant understand friedel-crafts alkylation of benzene and why benzene and other aromatic compunds can be attacked by electrophiles and a lot more nonsense i decided to blog and rant a little, perhaps it'll help clear my mind up a little.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So the 2nd semester has already begun, we are already in our week 7 and things are as HECTIC as EVER.

I was in Singapore for the 1st inaugural IChemE games organized by NUS. Soooo wat on good ol' planet earth is IChemE??well its a organization for chemical engineers which is all over the world. </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >So 55 of us chemical engineers from the University of Nottingham Malaysian Campus packed our bags and boarded the train in Kajang KTM station on the 20th. Our train was at 2.40pm and the journey to Singapore took us 7 hours++...I KNOW TELL ME ABOUT IT...The moment i stepped into the train, I recognized a very familiar odour...the odour of a BARBER SHOP...like wat the hell right hahaha...the train's toilet...(shakes head) never seen 1 soooooooo bad before. KTM really damn sad case. The day they decide to do something about this, PIGS WOULD FLY. So traveling for 7 hours in a train wasn't much of a problem for me. So after 7 hours++ of traveling we finally reached Singapore, however it took us quite some time to actually reach our hostel. We were picked up by this ang mo dude, his name is Joe. We got onto a CHARTED bus, best part is its a public bus with the words CHARTED displayed on its sign. So the hostel we stayed in is called, Tresor's Tavern. Its a hoStel not a hoTel but it was pretty cool. All my years of traveling i've never stayed in a backpacker hostel before. Sharing a room or should i say floor with 15 other guys, sleeping in bunk beds spells.........INTERESTING INTERESTING INTERESTING in a good way of course. The moment we settled down it was about 11pm and we haven had our DINNER. In the train i got hungry and so had to go to the trains canteen, cafeteria, makan place watever u call it to get something to eat. Here is the MENU</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Maggie Cup - RM3.50</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Nasi Lemak - RM4.50</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Nasi Goreng - RM3.00</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Like WAT THE **** right....Maggie cup for RM 3.50....crazy ah....the stupid thing is there was a list of food stuff there but SEMUA TAK DE....=.=....Derick, Graeme and Me had to just settle for the RM 3.00 Nasi goreng which tasted like ajinomoto only. So as i was sayin, after settling down we headed out into the streets of Singapore and it was pretty dead. There was a makan stall just around the corner from where we lived so me, graeme and a whole lot others headed there. DERICK WEEEEEED ditched us the moment he stepped foot onto his MOTHERLAND....hahaha....The food was pretty good i must say. Other than that, that was pretty much it for the first day. Oh and after makan we got back graeme went into the toilet came out and said:</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Graeme: Eh Mark... u got bring shampoo and soap right? They dont provide la...</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Mark: (cock stare)....Then laughs his ass off.....</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >well graeme wasn't the only one, 5 other clown friends of mine must have also thought it was a hotel. hahaha....</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >21st - So after getting a good night rest, got up fresh and ready for BREAKFAST hahaha, the hostel provided us breakfast and it starts at 7am. So as usual la...the early bird catches the worm...breakfast that morning was. Sausage, with egg sandwhich and milo...=)...the egg sandwhich was AWESOME!!! n since its a HOSTEL we were required to wash our cups and plates. So after makan...we got our things and got ready to go to NUS. From here forth. things was CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS....I damn lazy wanna type everything out. All i can say is that, the Chemical Engineers in NUS didn't do a very good job in planning this event. Another thing i would like to criticize is the mentality of Singaporeans. </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >If you would have watched the movie - MONEY NOT ENOUGH 2 - you would understand. There was a scene in the movie where the Security guard was fussing about the fire engine parking in a VIP spot or something and in the end clamped the vehicle. Well yeah SINGAPOREANS are sooooo like that, they are not willing to compromise even when there is a FREAKING FIRE. There were no fires that day but we traveled all the way to SINGAPORKKK to end up playing with UITM. Nanyang Tech Uni (NTU) didn't sent any teams and NUS had only teams in certain sports and even so can be counted with 1 hand. The IChemE games was planned right on the SPORTS WEEK of NUS and living up to their true blue nature, neither the campus nor the Chemical Engineers gave in. It really baffles me, this ppl either has no brains or are really FUCKING self centered. They organize a international sports meet, invite ppl from afar and the treatment we received was HORRIBLE!!!!! Communication between every party FAILED...I've been to so many sports meet, events and things like tat and never have i been in a situation as BAD as this. When i spoke to one of the helpers later that day, i found out that NTU didn't wan to join due to some reasons. If i didn't hear wrong NTU n NUS have been at each others neck for </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:130%;">17 years</span> and because NTU dont friend NUS they dont wan to come...like WAT THE ****....so ******* childish....GROW UP LA *** *****.....then i also asked how come there is no Chemical Engineering Volleyball and Frisbee Team. The answer was equally as infuriating..."Chemical Engineers normally dont play Volleyball or Frisbee cos of some...social reasons" and i really wished i heard wrong for both cases. Cause this is just plain RIDICULOUS. Not only that, the volunteers are not all chemical engineers, some are civil engineers blah blah blah. When asked why? " NOT ENOUGH MAN POWER FROM THE CHEM ENG FACULTY". (shakes head) and the other LAME **** *** reasons given for their horrible planning.<br /><br />1) they (IChemE) only gave us 1 month notice<br />2)We were some what FORCED into doing this<br />3)Its the first time this is being organized<br /><br />I wish not give further comments on the above answers. You, the reader shall decide what kinda attitude or image they have protrayed. Personally i would say, using number 3) as an excuse is just plain LAMEEEEE!!!!!<br /><br />ok i've ranted enought bout that...hahaha...Despite what happen, we still went for the after party and there was BOOZEEE there so minum la...hahaha...and most of us just let the whole CHAOS pass us cause we were in Singapore with a whole lot of friends and we didn't wan to spoil our adventure.<br /><br />Leavin Singapore was a real relief, when we reached kajang every1 was so happy to be back. Our volleyball team got silver but we really didn't even bother cause everything was already so SCREWED UP...The next IChemE games would be held in UITM, hopefully it wouldn't be as bad as it was in NUS....<br /><br />thas y SHAME SHAME NUS...la la lalala...SHAME SHAME NUS...la la lalala =)<br /><br />Thats all from me, but i must say i traveling has been my 3rd love after lee *coughs coughs* and music. =) and i did have and adventure in Singapore. Our last day there, a group of us lugged our bags across Chinatown to hunt for souvenirs and Singapore aint that small when you have to carry your luggage around hahaha...Train for MAS was at 2pm and all of us got on board and then that WEEEED dude came out of no where when we thought he goin to find his own way back....hahaha...thus our adventure came to an end at about 9.30pm when the train screeched to a stop in KAJANG STATION...=0 so until next time...Cheers mate!!!! and always keep an open mind when traveling...=)<br /></span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-73108991892757825942009-02-22T22:59:00.003+08:002009-02-22T23:16:04.014+08:00How Deep Is Your Love??? = )<span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Have you ever written a love letter or poem?<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Yes, love letter and poem....</span>=) </span><br /><br />Do you believe in love at first sight?<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Nope really dont</span><br /><br />Do you swoon at the sight of a perfect red rose?<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">No i'm a guy i GIVE roses instead of RECEIVING any.

YES snow falling from the sky it was such an experience. It has been eluding us for 6 years now and finally FINALLY we manage to experience it. For the pass 6 year during the year end holidays, we have been traveling overseas and in those 6 years most of the countries we traveled to were during the winter season. The first time we experienced winter was in Korea and there were snow on the ground but we didn't see or felt any falling from the sky. Then our second best bet was when we were in Beijing. However luck wasn't on our side AGAIN and so we still did not manage to feel snow falling from the sky.HERE oh boy have i to tell you, its all snow hahaha...nothing but SNOW. So from the airport we headed straight for our cottage in yllas (pernounced as ullas) the cottage is freaking chun k...<pictures>(pictures coming soon) other than that the we just lepak in our cottage...rest...a very much well needed rest for all of us. The cottage has basically all the basic appliances. The washing machine, dishwasher, dryer,etc. The dishwasher and dryer was pretty interesting as we didn't know how to use it hahaha. We had heater problems so had to call the guy. He fixed our heater problem and also showed us how to use the BASIC appliances...hahaha...so much for being BASIC.</pictures></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end> </end></span><span style="font-family:arial;">(end of day 1)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 2</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So day 2, we got up had our breakfast and decided to go for a walk. It was our first time walking in snow and it was a great experience. We have never walked on soooooo much of snow before and it was fun but cold...hahaha...i would blog about the things you would need to do to live through a winter like this and also how to survive a long long distance flight. If you fly first class all the time then dont bother. So we walked to lapvillage and got more info on our activities. The one thing here we wanted to see is the Aurora Bureolis. Well just a few minutes of walking burns up a lot of calories and we needed our energy back so we walked to Jullis (pernounced as Ullis). Apparently their burgers there are really great and so we decided to give it a go. So while deciding what to order, the waiter came by, a man roughly in his late 40's, but we weren't ready so my dad said give us 3 more minutes and he left but only to come back in a while with a menu in Japanese....hahaha...like WTH...hahaha..he thought we were Japanese and couldn't read the English menu =.= . I had the burger topped with reindeer meat and YES it was DAMN DAMN GOOD = ) . So after a good lunch we walked back to our cottage and it was back to playing and watching tv again hahaha...I dont know why but some how we don't feel bored. I mean with such a weather out there all you wanna do is hibernate. LITERALLY. All the walking in the snow have pretty much made us immune to temperatures of -7 or so. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">At about 6 pm, Henry and Annarita arrived from Ohlu. (Henry is the finnish dude we know and annarita is his girlfriend). They came with groceries enough for a whole army hahaha...He brought ham and bacon and wine and vodkas with the S and beers and juices and milks. So without wasting any time we started on the.....ALCOHOL....hahaha....no need to chill in the fridge. Just 1 or 2 minutes out in the patio it was good to go. <pictures> (pictures coming soon) So we stayed up and chatted till about 2am and then we were hungry AGAIN. Henry decided to use the fireplace and yes being the SAMPAT Malaysian it was so interesting. I mean how often do u get to light a fireplace...hahaha...It took a while to get the fire going but it was worth it. Henry and I cooked sausages over the fire and it was delicious. Like one of them smoked sausages. It was 3 am when we finally got into bed and thus the end of day 2.....</pictures></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family:arial;">(pictures coming soon)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">(end of day 2)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 3</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ahhh day 3...slept in till about 12pm but have to get up d cos Henry was leaving later in the noon and since he had a car we needed the transportation to move around a little get some stuff find out more about the activities around here. Since Henry would be leaving we would need our own set of wheels and so with a few phone calls Uncle Gill manage to get us a car. After shopping for groceries (again???yes again cause the supermarket would be closed for 2 days and food depleted pretty quickly..hahaha) we headed straight home and it was about 3pm. Henry didn't stick around much cos the car was heated up and daylight was dying out already so it was best he hit the road ASAP. We were suppose to collect the rented car at a nearby hotel at 7pm. The hotel wasn't that near also...hahaha...it was a 4km walk for me and my dad. So at about 6.10pm my dad and I ventured out into the dark and cold wilderness....hahaha...well it wasn't that cold but it was DARK.<video>(video coming soon)The car is a red Toyota Yaris and since we were in europe, the car is a left hand drive car. Dad had some experience driving in France, it was just a matter of getting used to but it was his first time driving on snow. It took us quite some time to walk there but less than 5 minutes to drive back...=.=...After parking the car we found out from Uncle Gill that it is vital to keep the engine warm and not letting it freeze up. So me and dad found the cable but we couldn't find the place to plug it in. After freezing our asses off for quite some time Dad finally found the port on the car. Well it is 11.30pm now and i'm going to retire soon so thats it for now CHEERS....</video></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 3)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 4</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Well day 4...since we had a car dad decided to move around a little ok make that a lot more. We headed out to this place, some educational center. The scenery there was pretty good so the whole fly took pictures after pictures after pictures after pictures...</span><span style="font-family:arial;">(pictures coming soon)</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. <picture>Then after that we headed to the ski slopes to find out more about their rates and also the ski classes. The whole taking pictures at the educational center and ski slopes took almost the whole afternoon and by the time we got back to the cottage it was about 4pm or so. I was so tired even thou I barely did anything, i think its the weather and environment hahaha...everyday we get about 3 to 4 hours of daylight and even that its not that bright. But it has been brighter and brighter as the days go by cause summer is approaching. This place gets about 7 months of snow and once its summer it is almost 24 hours of sunlight. Pretty screwed up huh....hahaha....So after getting some shut eye had to get up and prepare for X'mas dinner. YES X'MAS DINNER hahaha...our first Finnish X'mas dinner...it was a buffet and the spread consisted of herrings and beef and reindeer and turkey and pork and salmon and salmon roes....yum yummmm....it was a feast and the food wasn't that bad also. The dessert oh i tell you it was SWEEEEEETTTTTT....the cake and the pastries were awesome....and of course Santa Clause came along. He greeted us and the first thing he asked was if we came from Japan...=.=...well he did that cause most of the Asians here are Japanese. I mean even their supermarkets have signs in Japanese. After the dinner we headed straight home and called it a day. </picture></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 4)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 5</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">MERRY X'MAS ppl...so its x'mas day finally...so the day started off with a visit to the Lainio Snow Village. There is a hotel there that is made out of snow and that is apparently the selling point. We went in there to look look see see and it was pretty cool, but its damn cold. I dont know how you're suppose to live in there seriously...you would probably freeze your butts off. After loads of photo taking again... we went into the restaurant to warm ourselves up and while waiting for mom to come out of the WC (toilet) the lady at the counter came up to us and said "you can buy the tickets into the snow hotel..." We were like wat the hellll...you have to buy tickets?hahaha...and its 7 euros per person...so multiply that by 6 you get 42 euros multiply that again by 5 (convert it to Ringgit Malaysia) you get RM 210 just to visit some ice hotel...NOT WORTH IT...its seriously not worth the money.(pictures coming soon) <pictures> i mean its pretty cool and stuff but its empty as in its just good but not great kinda thing. PLUS ITS NOT OUR FAULT, i mean we were just 6 nice Asian people arriving at the doors of the ice hotel...no signs...nothing so we wouldn't have known we needed to pay...=)...So after the snow village we wanted to head straight back to the cottage but dad read about a place where they have Huskey Sleigh Rides and so another few more phone calls to Uncle Gill, Daddy manage to find the place with the help of Daniel the navigator...They were fully booked but thankfully a few groups didn't show so when we arrived there were available slots. Shaun and I 'drove' one sleigh and the rest of them were in the guide sleigh. It was fun i tell you...hahaha...Shaun went first and he had difficulties maneuvering the sleigh and yes the sleigh turned over with ME in it hahaha...but its not a problem hahaha...Shaun lost his footing and thus the sleigh turned over. Then it was my turn apart from the cold everything else was FUN FUN FUN. I mean we finally manage to touch and be close to Siberian huskies. They are seriously very very nice dogs (pictures coming soon) <pictures>so after the Huskey Ride we headed for Lapvillage which is just 200m from our cottage to walk the Northern Light path. After that it was cottage, dinner and sleep for me...hahaha...Dad and Mom went out for walks to look at the sky hoping to catch a glimpse of the northern light. Its 11.30pm now and thats all i have to write for day 5 so thats all for today ciaoozzzz.....</pictures></pictures></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 5)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 6</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Sooooo day 6 here in Yllas, Kittila and today spelled SKI SKI SKI and more SKI. We got up earlier today to go get our ski outfits from Arctic Safari and then we headed for the slopes. Of course we needed our ski boots and our skis so yeah we had to get those too...we have made arrangements for ski classes at 10am so after getting all the stuff it was just nice 10am and we met up with our instructor and THUS THE SKIING BEGUN....=)....Shaun,Daniel and Celine skied the last time in China whereas i snowboarded so i needed the lessons to refresh my memory hahaha...so we were 'tested' on our basics in skiing and we did okayyyyy...hahaha...so it was on to turning left and right. It looks easy (they always do) but it wasn't. So the falling begin and the rushing down the hill making only a few turns...hahaha...So after 90 minutes we were left to fend for ourselves. It was us against the hills (oh mom n dad didn't ski it was just the 4 of us). So before we could hit the hills on ourselves we went and makan first. Dad ordered 1 humongous burger and 2 pizzas <pictures>. Lunch was over, our bellys were filled and it was time to face THE SLOPE...........after we gotten our ski passes from dad...=) <span style="font-size:85%;">My first run down the hill wasn't thatttt good</span>. My left turns weren't good enough cause my technique was OUTTT...so before i could hit the trees (yes there were tress around us) i choose to fall n not make George of the Jungle: Winter Edition. The rest of them made it down the hill without falling. Shaun and Celine decided to just zoom down the hill and break before reaching the end. hahaha...Daniel was slow and steady but he did all his curves...So determine to NOT FAIL AGAIN i got up the ski lift and up we went again. N with all the confidence in the world at the middle of the mountain i headed down...and this time i.....had to fall AGAIN...once again my left turn just wasn't working for me. So falling twice back to back...wellll not so good for the confidence...so the 3rd time i decide to take it real slow as i was starting to be afraid of the speed. Thankfully i manage to survive this run which meant a little bit more confidence. Then the runs continued and i slowly got comfortable with the speed and the slopes and the turns got better. Daniel also slowly got more confidence on going faster and before you knew it crashing into trees were a thing of the past and we were zooming down the hill and getting back on the lift almost immediately. We skied for 4 and a half hours which is a lot more than we have ever skied before. Other than that, it was a beautiful day,good weather, the wind was a lot stronger in the evening thou but nothing could deter us from skiing (except for a avalanche or a blizzard la) so thats all for day 6 just a few more days before we leave for Helsinki and then back home....=)....thats all for now CHEERS!!!</pictures></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><pictures> </pictures></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 6)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 7</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">AHHHH....achess....yes i woke up to aches in my hands and feet. It wasn't that bad la but they were aching thanks to all the skiing and since i have not been very active its no wonder my body ached. Anyways today we didn't really do much. After breakfast we hopped into the car and off we went to i-dont-know-how-to-spell-the-place and initially dad thought the place was a brewery where we could perhaps learn a thing or two about our favourite beverage...ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES...hahaha...buuuuuutttttt it was just a shop in the country side that sells home made wine...=.=...so sad. Nevertheless the scenery was superb as usual. The temperature wasn't that cold and the sun actually came up this time. The days were much much brighter and longer as compared to when we first got here. So as usual after taking a LOT of pics we then headed to another shop at this intersection after getting Intel that there are reindeer rides there...weeeee....hahaha...Once again i dont know the shop's name but 1 thing i do know is that the 2 ladies that ran the shop were VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY friendly. We initially didn't had intentions to buy anything and the two old ladies still spoke to us to entertain us (well cause there was no1 else there also la,but u could feel they did it cause they wanted to)hahaha...and we also found out that we were the first Malaysians to ever step foot into their shop. They have a book there where you can write stuff in it and so we stamped our mark there BIG BIG some more you know hahaha...all the talking and chatting were just to buy time cause we were waiting for the reindeer man to come by. hahaha....We didn't really wait long then this tall Finnish dude who looked like he could finish you...hahaha...get it finnish finish hahaha...=.=...never mind....the reindeer ride was okkkkkkllllaaaaa i preferred the huskey. The dude walked for 4km pulling on the reins of the reindeer. He did not ride them horseback style as that was pretty impossible to do and he did not ride in a sleigh himself while whipping the asses of this deers. After the sleigh ride we were offered coffee,tea and cranberry juice...oh the cranberry juice is AWESOME MATEE...other than that nothing else happened on day 7 already. We headed home makan pack cause we leaving tomorrow...HOME...HOME...oh Malaysia such a distant land...sigh...thats all for day 7 Good Night...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 7)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 8</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It was the end of the week and we began our journey back home to Malaysia, a land not known by most of the finns...SERIOUSLY its that sad. Our flight to Helsinki was initially at 12pm but due to some unforeseen circumstances it was delayed to 12.30pm but no matter in Helsinki we were picked up and driven to our hotel, Radisson Sas, the hotel got INTERNET!!!! FUHHHYOOOO....hahaha...after checking in and washing up a little we headed for the streets on our quest to search for FOOD...food in Helsinki is FREAKING EXPENSIVE even if we don't convert to Ringgit Malaysia. There is this place called market square and dad said there should be food there cause thats what it says in the brochure. So to Market Square it was for us, buuuutttttt NO FOOD...the restaurants there spelled EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE. While walking around this so called square (i didn't see or notice anything that suggested it was a square also...=.=...) we stumbled upon a chinese restaurant so we thought ahh ok la chinese or finnish makan only...saw the menu outside the restaurant...we hung our heads in disappointment. A set meal for 6 (some what of a 8 course dinner) is priced at 110 euros if I've not mistaken convert that to Malaysian Ringgit you have a 500 bucks chinese meal for 6...WITHOUT SHARK FIN OR ABALONE...tsk tsk tsk...so nvm Dad said 1 plate of fried rice each can ah...CAN PA CAN!!! anything as long can makan...price for 1 plate of fried rice 9.80 euros...=.=....nvm la Pa we go eat fast food k...so we walked back to the street just outside our hotel, there is this place called Chilli yeah Chilli without the 'S' as in Chillis. Its a middle eastern fast food restaurant. The owner (or so i assume) 1 man show. He takes orders, he prepares the meals and he even serves them...Price for 1 middle eastern fast food meal...9.80 euros also but with DRINK ahhh take that...hahaha...so we chowed down on our meal and headed back to the hotel. 2 reasons...1 cause GOT INTERNET WOOHOOO...2 cause it was cold outside and its Helsinki...imagine Kuala Lumpur...got nothing to see...i mean besides shopping and Dataran Merdeka and ahh you know la...nothing...nadaa...i dont think they have a Freedom Plain in Helsinki so yeah hotel was the best choice. Oh and lunch was at 3pm so yeah dinner could wait a little longer...just a little...hahaha...we spent most of our time in the room...watching tv got disney channel k...=) and also onlining (NOT A WORD i repeat NOT A WORD...i think) Then at about 7.30pm or so mom n dad headed out again to walk walk and ta pau food. They came back at 9pm which was just about time for dinner...and they brought back hesburger (its like burger king but better) and also this big packet of fried rice. Oh, cost of Fried Rice...10 euros...but it was big la perhaps for 2 ppl (2 ppl as in me and 1 of my bros) but each of us had a burger so the fried rice was like side dish for the whole family hahaha...their burger as usual big ass...which is about the same price with the fried rice...Cut throat man i tell you eat in Helsinki...after dinner me and Shaun headed for bed but daniel he stayed up all night playing...hahaha...well it wasn't really all night also la our flight to Rome was at 7.50 am so that means we have to be at the airport at 5.30 AM...that would be day 9 d so thats all for day 8 pls do read on...=)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><end></end></span><span style="font-family: arial;">(end of day 8)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">DAY 9</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So day 9 was basically travelling and i have nothing much to write about just watch the videos k...thanks for reading i know the post is very very late hahaha....so thats all from me CHEERS!!!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-73597223602158316282009-01-09T13:01:00.004+08:002009-01-09T13:12:11.671+08:00A Notice and A Happy New Year??<span style="font-family: arial;">ok so i know i still you ppl a blog on Finland, that would have to wait till after my exams which are going on right now and also pictures of Rome and Finland all must wait till after exam. However i do have something to share with you ppl. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Its about the new year. I find it weird how ppl feel so happy ushering in the new year its as thou whatever happend in the past year would miraculously disappear. Not trying to be a pessimist or anything but i feel the new year is soooo overated hahaha...the new year means you are 1 year older and supposingly 1 year wiser. NOW if that was true....nvm you do the math yourself. Then you also hear ppl complaining aiyoooo old d la...this la that la...but when new year jolly like nobody's business. Another thing the new year resolution thing...how many actually follow all the way thru to the end...its a bit funny to set a goal for the next 365 days, a little unrealistic i would say...For me i have NEW WEEK RESOLUTION...hahahaha...i mean seriously la New Year Resolution, Happy New Year....Pelly would just tell you what's so damn happy about the new year...hahaha... do we really need to wait till its the new year to have a resolution or is the new year there to remind us how we failed to live up to our previous resolution and start making another one? WE dont need to wait for the new year to do something new or to be REVITALISED....start tomorrow la whats the difference. Anyways thats just what i think you can beg to differ...once again i'm not trying to be negative but sometimes i feel some ppl over exaggerate this one celebration...new year....hahaha....thats all for now...CHEERRRSSS MATESSS!!!!!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">upcoming post - 6 lims and A Whole Lot of Finns</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-53275597183933242752008-12-21T07:08:00.003+08:002009-01-15T21:26:41.732+08:00Do As The Romans Do!!!!<span style="font-family:arial;">Hey guys i finally manage to find time to blog. Well its 1.10am here in Finland and my flight is 9.55 am. So we are camping out here in Helsinki International Airport. Its fun k...the whole domestic flight area is empty and the 6 of us are the only ones here hahaha. Anyways its the 4th day of our travels d. This post is about the first 3 days in Rome.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >DAY 1</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >Well day one, we left</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> Malaysia at 2 am (malaysian time) and flew to Dubai first. There we had a transit time of 4 hours before flying off to Rome. The journey from Dubai to Rome was about 6 and a half hours and the flight was tiring (as usual). I always found it hard to sleep in airplanes. We reached Rome at 12 pm (italian time) and went straight to our hotel, well it wasn't really like a hotel also la. I have pictures and videos and will upload them in due time. We settled down and the lady there gave us a map and she gave taught us how to get about Rome using the bus or metro (subway) service. Fr Julian met up with us around 3pm and it was good to see him. He then took us jalan-jalan. Our first stop was St. Paul's Basicallica which is the 2nd biggest basillica in Rome, I cant find words to describe it. So pictures it shall be. =) Then we went to trappist monastery. This place used to be where St. Paul was executed. The dungeon he was kept in was there too. According to legend, when his head was chopped off, it bounced three times and at those three spots water started to shot out. Now of course got no water la but that was the story. So after that place, we crossed the street to the another church and we kinda forgotten what the church name was. (ehh dont blame us k there are like 170 churches ++ in Rome alone). The significance of this church is that during the World War 2, Mother Mary revelead herself to a pastor who never like to acknowledge her existance. That place was pretty cool, there is this tunnel where people have been placing photos and items of their loved ones since the 1960's. After that we took a bus to Cavour and Fr Julian brought us to this pizerria for dinner. I tell you the pizza there is so so so so so so so so so so so so so damn good. You wouldn't wanna eat Malaysian pizza d hahaha. After dinner we called it a night cos we were super duper tired. The jet lag and the walking, not a very good combination.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Fr Julian actually asked a very interesting question when he saw us. He asked if we had our lunch already. I couldn't give him a definate answer here is why.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">1. We left Malaysia at 2am and flew 6 hours to Dubai. In the air they served us supper and also breakfast.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">2. We arrived in Dubai at 4am. So we basically travelled back in time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3. Our flight to Rome was at 9.25am so in the plane they served us lunch and also afternoon tea.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">4. BUT we arrived in Rome at 12.45pm. So technically we had lunch and also afternoon tea but when we reached Rome we didn't eat till dinner. So......i dont know, this time traveling thing can be pretty confusing at times hahaha.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So that is the end of Day 1</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >DAY 2</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Day 2 we woke up at about 8am, today Fr Julian had class so we had to go on our own. But it wasn't much of a problem. Our main mode of transport was walk, metro or bus. We had to wake up early cos we wanna make it into the long long long line to get into vatican museum. That museum is so damn big, the museums in Malaysia is not even 1/4 of the Vatican Musuem. There were a lot of interesting things there, but the most important of them lot is the Sistine Chapel where Michaelangelo's masterpieces are all around the chapel. Their chapel i dont know why they call it a chapel is as big as a church d. The dude painted the book of Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and also the Final Judgement on the wall behind the Altar. His paintings are seriously mind blowing. Its really quite impossible to do what he did and i would say he really did the impossible. He finished his paintins in just 4 years and that is considered a very short period of time. We spent about 3 hours in the musuem and by the time we got out it was already 2pm. Then LUNCH....the food was good. Authentic italian food...yummmyyyyy....After makaning, we walked to St Peter's Basillica. This Basillica is the biggest in Rome and seriously la i cant describe the churches. All i can say its nothing like the ones in Malaysian. All the churches and basillica in Rome are painted FULLY. Like every square inch of them and i'm not exaggerating. Since its winter, it gets dark pretty fast here and by 4pm it was already dark. We travelled from the Vatican City to THE Colloseum. It is my 2nd time seeing and touching the Colloseum but i'm still in awe when i see it knowing its rich history and things that took place there. Then Dad missed Chinese food...=)....so we went to this Chinese restaurant in Cavour also for dinner, one of Fr Julian's recommendation. The food was ok la, Malaysian Chinese food better...hahaha...we were suppose to get Gelato's after dinner but every1 was very very tired and full not to mention so Gelato's would have to wait.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">~End Of Day 2~</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >DAY 3</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So day 3, our last day in Rome. Day 3 Fr Julian joined us again as he had a few more places to take us to. Our journey this time in Rome was pretty religious, but in a very very good way. We learned and saw so much about the churches past. Like on day 2, in St. Peter's Basillica, we saw the tomb of St. Peter, the tomb of the late Pope John Paul the 2nd and other popes before him. Day 3 was even better i would say. Father came by our place at about 9am and our first destination was the churhc of St John Letheran(not sure of the spelling). This church is considered the mother of all church and is like the main church. Dont know why, just is. After that we went to the Holy Steps. The holy steps is the place where Jesus was judged by pilot back in the days and the steps can only be climbed by kneeling. There is a church over it now, at the top of the stairs there is a painting of Jesus apparently painted by an angel. There are a lot of sacred relics in Rome and also a lot on controversy. Like Fr Julian was telling us there are like 4 heads of John the Baptist all over Rome. hahaha....anyways after the holy step we headed to a church called Mary Major. The relic in this church is the picture of Mother Mary painted by St. Luke. Other than that its like any other church in Rome. BIG, FILLED WITH PAINTINGS and AWESOME....=)..... in this church there are a few relics. First, the nail that was used in Jesus's cruxifiction. The thors on his crown. Part of the cross of the good theif and also part of Jesus's very cross. There was also a copy of the shroud of turin. So as usual it was walking walking n walking for us for 3 days. We had lunch with Fr Julian before leaving for the airport and that was the end of day 3.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As of now i'm in the Helsinki Airport and its 2.17am here. The pictures and videos i would upload some other time. Hopefully there will be internet connection in the cottage (keeping fingers crossed). So thats all from me for now. Will try to update you folks as often as possible. Thanks for reading....CHEERS!!!!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">ps - missing you crazy bunch of ppl back there. lotsa love from the lims....from Finland...=)</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-82204277891507287992008-12-16T01:10:00.011+08:002008-12-16T02:37:53.346+08:00A Place Called Kachau<span style="font-family:arial;">If you read my previous post i mentioned about an event in Kacau. Well i found out that their Kacau is spelled as KacHau, its with a H and its an orang asli settlement deep in the jungles of semenyih. If you find yourself saying "where the hell am i" you might have strayed away from civilisation and ended up in Kachau... hahaha....Kachau is a real place btw (2° 59' 0" North, 101° 52' 0" East ) hahaha...go google it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So on Sunday, the youth of HFC set out on a journey into the unknown (literally) to spread the joy and spirit of X'mas to the ORIGINAL natives of this land. We were suppose to leave at 9 am but as usual our Malaysian spirits only allowed us to leave for Kachau at approx. 10am. We car pooled as that is the only mode of transport into such a remote area. It is impossible for buses to even access the areas. The other options were : Motorcycle, Walk or Sampan.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I brought 4 dudes including my brother to Kachau Dalam and yes it was FREAKING DALAM. Dalam mana I pun tak tau. Thankfully i was driving my X-trail the pot holes in the so called 'road' were not much of an obstacle to me. BUUUUUUTTTTTTT, alex's car suffered terribly. He was literally CRAWLING his way into Kachau Dalam. hahaha...i feel your pain man...While i brought the form fours into Kachau Dalam. The other group of youths headed to Kachau. (there are 2 settlements - 1)Kachau and 2) Kachau Dalam ) So after me and alex dropped them off in Kachau Dalam, both of us headed to Kachau to join the older youths. =). According to Kenny "After u pass the guard house just go straight n stick left". So we looked out for a guard house but seriously we were picturing in our minds what kind of guard house would be in the middle of no where and why.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Alex:"ehh dude, u think the guard house is just a shed ah"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Mark:"dont know la dei, this area also need guard house ah?"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Alex:"yeah la, so weird right, ehh ehh look guard house, but its the NS camp one"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Mark:=.=</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">continues driving.....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Mark:"ahh there a guard house"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Alex:"wahh not bad ah in the middle of no where also got guard house"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We found out that, the orang asal (they prefer being called that...dont know why) in Kachau were actually staying in a farm like place where they cultivate flowers before being sold to nurseries. They live in squatter like homes and have this community hall where we gathered. Once inside this area the both of us thought ok la kau tim d sure can find the place...but can get lost also...=.= ...Eventually we manage to find the place la hahaha...But(i notice i got a lot of buts in my post hahaha) before we reached the community hall, alex and i was just sayin....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Alex:" my gosh dude..... this place so ulu the last thing we going to find is astro here.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Mark:" yeah man"</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhNgkq4JqoRZBlTcWVGCmUyek8Fv7yStJaKuyjXtovPrBSHPL6MbzjWSeXewxI029FPf8P7RyFkHhQouz5YRt5GXQuDYgn6iw6IqmmQcxHTnv9YZyjEpWhv1tY6338O7XU3mcZ9-EI_c6i/s1600-h/Image891.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhNgkq4JqoRZBlTcWVGCmUyek8Fv7yStJaKuyjXtovPrBSHPL6MbzjWSeXewxI029FPf8P7RyFkHhQouz5YRt5GXQuDYgn6iw6IqmmQcxHTnv9YZyjEpWhv1tY6338O7XU3mcZ9-EI_c6i/s320/Image891.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280076983373186738" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">yes that is an Astro dish...and yes it was in Kachau..</span>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><span style="font-family:arial;">The astro people actually manage to find this place hahaha...salute them la seriously...Best part is we dont even have phone signal but astro signal can get...=.=....The activities started d by the time we got there. The whole day we were basically playing with the kids there. N i tell u....if u think babysitting city kids are bad. These ppl have 3 times more energy than them city kids and 10 times crazier. However, they are really nice kids hahaha. Alfred bribes them with ice cream and junk food. Trivial you say....trust me those items are heavenly items to these kids. The best part was when we started singing x'mas carols. These kids were in the middle cos the helpers formed a circle around them and the moment the music started these kids started a MOSH PIT...i am not kidding...they were moshing like nobodies business k. Until fall down la get stepped on la. They just stood up tidy themselves a little and then it was back to MOSHING....hahaha....WE got scared but the kids seemed totally oblivious to the danger hahaha.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Oh i nearly forgotten, before we actually sang there were speeches by the batin's right hand man I think...hahaha a batin is the leader of the kampung. After the dude's speech he sang a song which i could barely hear and only consisted of three notes. NO JOKE. but but....the instrument used was simplicity at its best. Watch the video and you'll know what i'm talkin about. ( you have to watch the video first before reading on )</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyYGNOJYcGSxqewG9UshnKhiVAEGGYD2LLQd7qlPY46uShAObNAEGYtBOmfG1rfW5FI-MBFYbJE5c6eCE-f-A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I actually have 3 videos of them playing and singing, but they are pretty boring. I think the lady was tryin to play the whole tune herself but eventually she gave the other 2 kayus to the other lady. hahaha....the kayu they use looks exactly like the one i would use to WOLAP wild dogs and will only make one sound. (dog screams at the top of its lungs) I dont know what the instrument is called but like i said...its like a piano drum thingy put together. hahaha. So the ladies in the videos are called?? piamer?? drumno?? or just orang asal playing their traditional instruments??<br />Well after singin and jumping and marching for ice cream...yes marching for ice cream...it was lunch time d an alfred was like Hitler preparing his army for war...hahaha...example....<br /><br />Alfred: Siapa mau AYAM!!!!<br /><br />Org Asal Kids: SAYA!!!<br /><br />Alfred: Siapa mau NASI!!!<br /><br />Org Asal Kids: SAYA!!!<br /><br />Alfred: Siapa mau TANDAS!!!<br /><br />Org Asal Kids: SAYA!!! (this part seriously happend...hahaha)<br /><br />he had to do things like that to keep them busy and distracted while the rest of us get the food from the van...imagine 20 kids shouting at the top of their lungs with their shrill voices SAYA!!! SAYA!!! SAYA!!! As the youth were serving lunch, a man from the village spoke to Ann telling her that its been a while since they had a FEAST like this...and i tell you if i give u eat the food we ate you wouldn't call it a FEAST. It was just fried rice, bee hon with EXTRA SALT (dont know why so salty...think the price of salt went down so the catering aunty gave more), fried chicken, sausages, crabsticks, fish ball, watermelon and orang juice. The orang asal finished the rice and you could see them TA PAUING the fried chicken and the other process food. It was like gold to them and i think they felt it was a waste finishing it all there n then. During lunch time, we also had people from dont know where suddenly appearing hahaha...but i dont blame them la huh...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_JCt4Q-0BiOtfNwdhyphenhyphen6CXfGpyKbR682nsWJ1s94pDiCG3rtg9nx2KvQlvgE8XA-OwREnCZDpTMoMFsuND8vNNOXJRBcEDjxnvXRFPe78inO6nS0F7j8b9vSD6VF14Xzh2fUT848olcvV/s1600-h/Image898.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_JCt4Q-0BiOtfNwdhyphenhyphen6CXfGpyKbR682nsWJ1s94pDiCG3rtg9nx2KvQlvgE8XA-OwREnCZDpTMoMFsuND8vNNOXJRBcEDjxnvXRFPe78inO6nS0F7j8b9vSD6VF14Xzh2fUT848olcvV/s320/Image898.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280079608283528050" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">waiting to serve lunch...</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Apart from that nothing else major happened at Kachau, as for Kachau Dalam. You would think that the people there are more ULU or more behind time. In fact, alex and i thought the same. When we joined the other group there later in the day, we were wrong. The people in Kachau were poorer and looked more behind time then those in Kachau Dalam. Even the kids in Kachau Dalam were more "civilised" i would say. But hey i prefered the kids in Kachau, they were very very interesting...hehehe...in a good way of course.<br /><br />My initial plan was to put all 3 events into 1 post but i guess thats not going to happen hahaha...i shall break them down into 2 different post. So thanks for reading, if next time you wanna come with the HFC youth and help out just ask we wont reject and extra pair of hands...=)....<span style="font-size:78%;">(if we're going again...hahaha)</span> Cheers!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvTiJBR3sOe1ALDkBAgSan1-s0PfdacvckFIZpEBOdqicj5rCjH_FhnE7AyBfl8m0jUoEC5U6_lwKoRG5YqUf1loWu9Yfeewr5zB_NIa79Wb-7c71Ik-kSltHQ2Ej9N3N2B5rc6jJGctE3/s1600-h/Image886.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

But even if it was on i doubt i have time to blog hahaha....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Anyways friday morning slept at 4 am and was suppose to wake up at 9 am to go to class. Before going to bed i check to see if my alarm clock was set at 9 am and it was so i went straight to bed. Then the next day when i woke up it was already 10.15 am. N i check my clock again n realized that i did not turn the alarm clock on hahaha...wat the hell right i know...==...so got my lazy ass out of bed and took my time n showered hahaha then headed to Uni for a 3 hour lecture of PEF. But turn out it was onli a 1 and a half hour lecture dont know which bugger brruuuffff me....Then after class went to Restaurant Seow Man (i know it sounds like siuman but it is the restaurants name hahaha) to have lunch. That afternoon was fun la, cos it wasn't just the normal come back home from class sit infront of pc or sleep afternoon. hahaha. Then at night went for drum class and after that immediately rush to Sg Jelok for carolling practice. Sg Jelok having their carolling next monday and tuesday (same day with Sg long's carolling) so Dom asked me to join them n i did since i would be free and its 2 days before i leave for Finland. At least in a way get to celebrate part of X'mas with the folks here la huh hahaha. Then after practice ended which was about 10 pm i drove to Sg Long to go get Fred, Manda and Sher cos they were going to stay over at my place. Fred and Manda was tryin so hard to convince Ann and Sandy to come join us but due to some unforseen circumstances Ann and Sandy couldn't make it. (it would have been more fun with you two la...sigh)...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So the 3 of us had our sleepover and we didn't sleep till 6 am hahaha. Me and Fred talked till 7am and i slept when the sun came up hahaha. Then had to wake up at 11am to send manda for piano class. Oh this was saturday morning d the 13th. I shall stop here for the sleepover blog and start a new post on the X'mas Party...thanks for reading and CHEERS ppl....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">ps - X'mas is coming...woohooo....</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159537182665607038.post-15915550071426559282008-12-12T00:41:00.003+08:002008-12-12T01:25:50.111+08:00The Home Alone Script That Did Not Make It....<span style="font-family:arial;">Yes as the title would suggest i am home alone and yes it did not make it to the big screens if not i would be famous by now. hahaha. Anyways folks and siblings went to A'Famosa for holiday, no they did not leave me behind as a punishment. I have class tomorrow.... Dr. Svenja's class some more == and that means PEF. PEF to me is a whole new language d so i better attend and hopefully get what she is trying to teach this time. 3 hours of PEF man my gosh. Ask any year 1 chemical engineer and they'll give you the saddest face they can give. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So happenings for today...hmmm....woke up at 1pm hahaha...eh i'm not getting much luxury of waking up so late, so i'm appreciating it. Its also because i watched MU's game till about 5.30am...they drew 2 all with Aalborg (its a Danish club if i'm not mistaken) and MU should have FREAKING WON (die heart MU fan here...hahaha). After lunch sat down at the pc and at about 3pm the whole lot of them left. Its so quite here hahaha. Can hear echos. (if you shout loud enough you really can) my house is not big its just EMPTY...DAN dan <span style="font-size:85%;">dan dan dan</span> <span style="font-size:78%;">dan </span><span style="font-size:78%;">dan....... <span style="font-size:100%;">Come Dota dota <span style="font-size:85%;">dota dota dota</span> <span style="font-size:78%;">dota dota</span>....(looks around....no response ==)</span></span><br /><br />Then came evening or should i say night...THANK GOD....cos i finally have something to do rather than just sitting my arse infront of the pc and wasting my life. hahaha....There was x'mas carols practice for this weekend's event. This weekend the form four students led by the youths are going to 2 different orang asli settlements and spread the joy of x'mas. But seriously with the practice we had today, joy is a far far far far far FAR away thing. I was in the presence of FORM FOUR students, but it surely did not feel that way. It was so sad and pathetic. The guys were like wussies (the word dont even exist i had to make it up) dont even dare to sing...my gosh...ashame of what i have no idea. The girls showed better response thou. This sunday at the settlements its going to be interesting la, hopefully they'll have a sudden burst of COURAGE and INSPIRATION than they'll truly spread the joy of x'mas but as of now....(shakes head) long silence....... The same lot of them are suppose to sing carols for this year's x'mas eve mass, hopefully things will work out la huh....for everyones sake. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">After the practice there, i didn't stick around much and headed straight to manda's place to see their dance (since i wont be around to see it on the real day). The youth of sg long....or specifically Sandy, Elena, Fred, Manda, Flo, Sher, Kimberly and Ann WHO WAS MIA TODAY....==....are preparing for this year's Sg Long Annual X'mas Dinner which i have been told has been and will be a blast...hahaha...i have a video of them practicing and they are pretty good i must say, but my phone is not cooperating with me<span style="font-size:100%;">....</span> its lagging for some reason. So once again, i would have to wait till its done lagging to upload it. =0</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And after the practice.....welllll.....back home and again infront of the pc typing this blog out cos i got nothing better to do. Of course the notts peeps would be shouting at me sayin ARE YOU NUTS!!!...i know la exam coming but i cant study man x'mas is around the corner hahaha. So that will be it for tonight, have to brace myself for 3 hours of PEF lecture =.=** . Then for the rest of the day my list of activities are still undecided except for drum class at 8pm and x'mas carols practice at sg jelok after that. (got imported by Dom again...hahaha...)So until 2mr thanks for reading and i will try to get the videos up...Cheers....!!!</span>iAmMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730138069363953401noreply@blogger.com0
