Almost through with the first week of the new semester and I couldn't wait till the end of the week to tell all of you a story. The first week started off with the lecturers introducing themselves and the courses that they were gonna teach. A first glance at the schedule and the module leaders and I was relieved that there were no Mr. Anand aka Super Mario. I call him that because he looks like Mario with the mustache and when he teaches, I just want to run away real fast, punch boxes, stomp on turtles, collect coins and disappear into a giant pipe, if you know what I mean. However, there were quite a number of unknown lecturers so I was praying that they were at least at a competent level, but I was SO SO WRONG. Out of 8 lecturers, only 1.5 of them made me not want to skip class for the rest of the year, and out of that 1.5 lecturers, 1 of them have not showed up yet. What are the odds, huh?
One of the useless lecturers reminded me of a story. There was a day when I, Kc, Yz and Tommy went out together. We were eating lunch together at a round table and the seating position was like, Kc was sitting opposite me, while Yz was sitting opposite Tommy. Yz and Tommy were having an intense discussion and I and Kc just couldn't help but laugh at the two of them. If you are like me and know the both of them, you would definitely agree with these facts:
1. When Yz talks to me, I only can hear 50% of what he is saying cause of his Jay Chou like slang, and after I interpret it, I get 90% of his meaning.
2. When I talk to Tommy, he hears 100%, then after he interprets it, he only receives 50% of my actual meaning.
So you could imagine what it was like for the both of them to communicate with each other. It was like a cat and a dog trying to communicate. Yz was talking to Tommy, Tommy only received 50%, then after intepretation, he got 10% of Yz's meaning. LOL!
Now, back to that lecturer of mine, his name is Mr Pu, don't know his full name but I'm guessing that his last name is Ki Mark. I heard from a senior that he talks very softly, so I decided to sit in the first row. What that senior didn't tell me, was that he also has the worst pronunciation known to mankind. Even though he's been teaching for a number of years already, he still speaks like a typical China business man. They somehow mix up all d 'L's and 'R's and makes everything plural. Want any examples? Of course you do!
Mr Pu:" Ret me ask you all a questions. Rets says, you are driving a lolli at the speed of 90km/h, the intefelence due to the motors will detenuates yours pelfolmances of yours cars. How do you leduce the intefelence?"
I turned and looked at the rest of the class, most of them had the same expression on their faces ---> @.@. But I don't blame them, even I who was sitting in the first row was like "WTF?". If Yz and Tommy were like cats and dogs, this guy would be a fish in a pond while we are all humans on the ground. All we can hear from where we're standing are the sound of bubbles rising up to the surface. Bloop bloop or Brrrrrrr, it's up to your imagination. The way he teaches, I hear only 30% of the information he's trying to send out, and after I analyse it, it confuses me more till a point in the end I only understand 15%. By the time the class ended, the average information I registered in my mind without doubt would be around ± 1%. What a waste of not only mine, but everyone else's time! That's friggin' 4 hours a week that I will never get back! I'm already 20 years old, OMG I can't waste anymore of my youth! Somebody shoot him please, the reward will be bountiful. Thanks! =)

Start of the 2nd year
Didn't post much about last week as I didn't do much, just chilling my last week of holidays out with friends. Today is the first day of class after 4 months of holidays. The 4 months passed in a blink of an eye, and when I reopened my eyes, all I saw was my gloomy future in the still very shitty KBU, which stands for KaninBU College for those who don't know yet. Checked out my schedule and I think I'm in for a sipeh boring, sipeh stressful, sipeh busy year. Kinda worried for December and January period, as many friends are coming back at the time, hope that I can manage to study for the exams as well as spend time with them.
The only happy thing about today was that I just received some photos from SiewYin. Hope she's doing fine over there as today is her first day as well. Wanted to post the pics in the last post but I guess it's pretty occupied by itself. So guess I'll just post them here. These are the pics at Italiannies.
KC with pekcek look :" How come got such person sit next to me?! "
YL :"Hocai we didn't sit there, hor? "
Me :" Hocai! But pity KC. "
Yummy
Group photo 1
Me :" WTF, Is that Tommy's hand? "
YL :" Yala, aboh? "
YZ :" SI MEH? "
Me :" Eh Tommy is that your hand ar? "
Tommy :" Of course, I'm bringing Chin Loong and Huey Nee together ma! "
Me, YL, YZ and KC :" L P! "
Group photo 2. Yz :" ??? "
Group photo 3
The next time we asked him, "Eh Tommy ai cham us mai? " Tommy:" Eh sorry la cannot, got appointments with my fishies. " Our response:" Kononnya 我参你们的吗! "
Tommy's bag o' fishies. If you watch closely, you can see him drooling. LOL!

It all started on a day when we were hanging out, we bumped into Tommy and asked him whether he wanted to join us or not. Tommy:" I got plans with Taylorians, but don't forget, 我参你们的吗! " Then he did that pose and slided backwards.

Summer has come and passed
It's been a week since my last post. It's been a pretty busy week with plenty of memories I want to keep. So this is definitely gonna be an extra long post, as it took me more than a day to write it. * Late post due to unavailability of pictures. Will update more photos later as soon as I receive them from SiewYin.
10-9-08 , Wednesday - Went to Aeon with KC and Tommy to get some clothes. We went shopping in Esprit because there was sale going on and I have an extra 20% discount due to my mom's birthday this month. KC bought a pair of pants right after he tried it. As for me, I pretty much tried every pair of trousers in the shop before finding a pair that suited me. And guess what? It was the same pair that KC bought! LOL! And there was some drama inside the shop as I accidentally lost my Esprit card in one of the pants. So we + the shop attendant helped us to pat every pocket in the shop to find the card. I felt pretty guilty, because I caused a lot of trouble to the attendant. Sorry!
Stayed at Tommy's for the night because I was conned to go to HP center with him the next day. The way he said it sounded so simple :" Hey Chris, tommorrow wanna go Midvalley? We just going for lunch with YZ, then go HP center awhile, then go Midvalley shopping awhile then can come home d." But it turned out to be a sipeh stressful day for me, more elaboration in the next paragraph.
11-9-08, Thursday - The day started pretty OK, lunch with YZ, then YZ took us to HP center. But things started to go downhill from there onwards, all because Tommy didn't know the directions to Midvalley and he insisted on trusting his phone gps system. Even starting the journey took half an hour because he didn't want to move without setting up the gps. And before that, when YZ was giving him directions to Midvalley, Tommy kept saying :" Yalaa~ I know la I know la", so I trusted Tommy, even though I did not understand 50% of what YZ was saying. So we were finally on the road after Tommy found Midvalley on his phone, with the help of KC, of course. I've only took that way to Midvalley once before, so kinda remembered some bits and parts of it with the help of YZ's 50% of directions. So we were going down the road, Tommy still having no idea where he was going, I saw a Bangsar roadsign and immediately told him to turn left, but he didn't believe me! He was like:" Yameh? Sure Boh? I remember last time is not like this wan leh". KC:" You want us go to Holland is it?!" and when he finally came to his senses and trusted me, he made a 90 degrees turn in heavy traffic and I almost wouldn't be here blogging anymore. After we survived that turn, I was starting to get annoyed. I figured it would be the best idea to keep silent when he asked me for directions, and only tell him where to go at the last second, or else he will keep doubting me and eventually endanger our lives and emotional health.
Tommy:" Chris, where to turn ar? I really duno le..."
Me:" ......."
Tommy:" Gonna reach the junction d le.... Faster say le"
Me:" ........."
Tommy:" AT THE JUNCTION D... I DUNO HOW TO GO LE... HOW?! "
I say softly:" Turn left"
Tommy turns left, all is peaceful, great success. After tons of last minute directions, we reached Midvalley safely. Nothing much to say about the trip in Midvalley, but there is a few pictures that are worth sharing.
The only camera that caught me stealing the hyperdunks off someone who doesn't need it as much as I do.
Guess who is inside the cubicle? None other than Tommy. He told us he needed to water the plants but didn't tell us that he had to apply fertilizer to them as well and we ended up waiting outside for him for God knows how long.
It soon reached dinner and we initially wanted to have Chillis, but due to my bad memory, we went to TGIF but it was fully booked, so finally we settled for Italiannies. The food wasn't very satisfying but we had a great time overall. Sadly, there won't be another outing together with Tommy and SiewYin in a long long time, hopefully it won't be the last and the next one will come soon. T.T
Tommy's infamous Wo Chan Ni Men De Ma 我参你们的吗 pose
13-9-08, Saturday - Was a very tiring day for me. It was Siew Moon's birthday and I called her during midnight but got her voice mail. Left a message and went to bed as I had to wake up at 5 a.m. the next morning to send my bro to the airport as he's going on a holiday with his gf. My cell rang in the middle of the night. Thinking that it was my alarm, I went and off it. But instead, it was a phone call from an unknown number, at 2 a.m.? I hesitated before answering it, but thank goodness I answered it in time, as it was Siew Moon! As I was really blur, I just wished her before dosing off to sleep again, promising to call her later. So I sent my bro to the airport, then came back and had breakfast with my dad, and went to do grocery shopping. We went and bought 2 weeks worth of food, because according to my bro, things are gonna get pretty messy with our government soon, so it's better to stock up on some food. Better safe than sorry, I guess. After shopping, got a call from Tommy, asking me to accompany him to HP center again. Despite knowing that it'll probably be another stressful occassion but decided to tag along, since it was his last day in Malaysia for this year and I don't want him to get lost and be unable to go back to India. So I went home, called Siew Moon and had a good chat with her before going to HP center with Tommy, KC, and YL. And true enough, I think that if I didn't go along, Tommy would definitely get lost in PJ. And to make things worse, HP center does not open on weekends. So Tommy's laptop will be stuck in Msia while he flies back to India. But no worries, since Tommy has backup laptops, he can use another one in the mean time. Carrying on, we went to Old Klang Road to pick up some stuff before going back to Klang to have some very JENG wantan mee and cendol Klang. Hope Tommy enjoyed his last meal in Klang as much as we did. After having that late lunch, I went to a mooncake festival party/ gathering in Chia Nee's house. Very guilty that I couldn't go and send Tommy off as I had already promised ZJ and CN that I will go. Tommy's mom made me even more guilty as she bombarded me with a lot of "BOH XIM"s when i called Tommy. Sorry Tommy! Will send you off the next time! Back to the party, it was pretty fun mixing with people from my old class, as well as CN's classmates from Monash. We even played lanterns together and messed with kids + families in Setia Eco Park. Got back home around 1 a.m. and felt very emo out of the sudden. So many friends already left Msia, another just left, and another dear friend was leaving the next day. Felt an urge to call and talk to SiewYin like we used to quite often in our secondary days but sadly she was already asleep. Guess it had to wait till the next day.
Why is everyone posing with the Down syndrome kid in black?!
Been a long time since we played with lanterns
Tommy the king of fishermen at the airport. So busy getting calls from his fishies.
14-9-08, Sunday - It was a really sipeh emo day for me. Couldn't find a chance to talk to SY before she left. And when we went to the airport to send her off, we felt so out of place, so negligible there. Her family and college friends came as well. When we first arrived, she was bonding with her college mates, so we waited at a side for our turn. Then she went over to chat with her family. But after that she suddenly turned from her family and picked up her stuff, waved and said to us:" Hey I'm going already". It stunned me, I looked at the time, she still had more than an hour before her flight takes off. I didn't care about the reason why she wanted to go in so early. All I was trying to do was thinking of the things I wanted to say to her, it was on my mind the whole night before but I couldn't even muster a syllable at the moment. Realising that there wasn't much time left, I extended my hand to shake hers and said:" So i guess this is it, huh?" This is where she completely threw me off guard. She put down her luggage, and gave me a hug. I was touched, I was sad, and again, I was stunned. As we embraced, tears were forming in my eyes, I was lost for words, I wanted to tell her that she was a very dear friend of mine, I wanted to tell her to take care of herself and that she'll always have a friend to rely on if she needs one, I wanted to ask her whether she remembered the things we used to talk about, the dreams we shared, the promises we made. Most of all, I wanted to tell her that I will miss her. Instead, I said the stupidest thing ever. "Jiayou jiayou". ARGH! OMG! I wished that somebody had taken a gun and shot me there and then. What a fool I made of myself. She was going to study, not the Olympics! It all happened so fast, and before I knew it, we were already waving goodbye to her while she made her way down the escalator. I'm sorry, SiewYin. Words could not express the sadness and guilt that I felt.

I started the day with breakfast with a very special friend. We've known each other since primary, but only became good friends during secondary. Haven't seen her for some time, but still enjoy her company a lot. After that, went to Sunway Pyramid's Red Box with Tommy, SiewYin, Yl, Yz, Tc, Kc, Shian, Cl, HueyNee, and Joo. I will never forget how Yz sang 落叶归根, I don't think anyone will! (LOL Yz mai dulan!).
It soon reached dinner and we initially wanted to have Chillis, but due to my bad memory, we went to TGIF but it was fully booked, so finally we settled for Italiannies.

Time is running out
Wasted the whole day fixing my computer because it refused to boot up today. Might be because I formatted the D drive yesterday. Did not backup my stuff so I decided to install windows on D drive, so i could throw all my stuff from C into D and then format C but I was so so wrong. But I only found out after a whole day of reinstalling my stuff. Now both drives can't be formatted and I have insufficient hard disk space. Doh! Guess I just have to bear with it.
Went for a class gathering + Chia Nee's birthday celebration last Saturday at Centro. Did not expect that she would show up, but she did! I was pretty early reaching the venue so I was standing there waiting for people to show up and there she was. The sight of her melted my heart. Tried to say hi to her but she avoided eye contact. And when I finally caught her eye and waved, she didn't even fake a smile but merely lifted a palm. She made it clear that she did not want to have anything to do with me anymore so I respected that. But it was awfully awkward as people knew that we weren't speaking to each other, so the gathering was kinda splitted into two groups. But still had a pretty good time catching up with some of the people from my old class, just wished more people could show up next time. Here are photos of those who attended that day and a solo picture with me and the birthday gal - Chia Nee.
Went for a movie and another sipeh boring dinner with Tommy the next day which was Sunday. We watched Money Still No Enough. It was actually pretty good, funny and touching. I give it 4 stars and recommend anybody who like kpkb comedy to watch it. And while I was at the dinner, I had a lot of time to think things through. As I was wasting time at the dinner, time was gonna have its revenge. Sad to say, another few of my friends are leaving Malaysia this week, Siew Yin my dear is going off to Birmingham, Kai Feng my dai lou is going off to Scotland, Tommy my fishing teacher is going back to India. Not much more time to spend with them, but I wish them a blessed journey and pray that they won't forget me no matter what course in life we adventure into. They will be missed.
Siew Yin acting cute & Kai Feng doing what he does best
As for Tommy, what he does best, can be shown through the frustration and speechlessness in this photo. See someone like this, and you know he's nearby.

A piece of somebody else' mind
Woke up today around noon to find that there was no lunch at home today. So I decided to call up Tommy and Kc to see whether they wanted to have lunch. KC:" Ok sure! But I need Tommy to fetch me" Tommy:" Let me sleep awhile more, later go eat"
OK fine. So while waiting for them to come over, I spent the afternoon chatting while downloading some And1 mixtape vids since its been awhile since I've seen some mind boggling, ankle breakin' moves. I had a very interesting time talking to Chia Nee. Has been awhile since I saw her online so we caught up. I always thought that she was the most innocent and pleasant person that I've ever known but today I learnt a very interesting thing about her. She is soooooooooooooooooooo racist. There are a lot of racists in our country but I never thought that she would be one. The thing she said to me really drove me banana sandwich! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw what she wrote.
It all started when she asked me when am I gonna get a facebook account (which she does everytime we chat). I said that I am too lazy to keep track of it so I just rather stick with an inactive friendster account. Then this is where she said:" u know wat? i feel tat friendster is like corrupted....." When I asked her why, she replied:" coz got melayu version... i feel so BABI!" LOL! Citizens of Malaysia always link government officials with corruption, but this is too much! When I told her how creative I thought she was, she said:" What is so funny? I'm serious! Must got some malays who play frenster but their english sucks, so they bribe the friendster to create a malay version for them!! " LOL! So I went on to explained to her that maybe that version was made for people from Indonesia as they do not use English much over there. Her response made me roar out in laughter:" Oh no wonder the indonesian-chinese in Monash all speak malay. So sien, make me feel tat i am in a out-dated country!! Coz I hear malay....more than eng... wth!! I really hope Malaysia improves, or not next time i'm gonna move to China!" That really makes me wanna say, and you all can say it with me, DA-BE-LIU-TEE-EFF! HAHA, she doesn't fail to amuse me everytime I chat with her.
I was feeling so hungry that I thought I was gonna get gastric and admitted into a hospital any minute. Waited for four hours till I suddenly received an sms from Tommy:" You go eat ba, no need wait for me" Cheou Chii Boon Tommy, don't know how to tell earlier ar? I don't have food reserves one ok? I'm not a friggin' camel. Gonna go make myself some food and get admitted into hospital so I'm signing off for now. Thanks Tommy!

Tommy:" Oh shit, then nvm la"
Me:" ................................ " *WTF*
OK fine. So while waiting for them to come over, I spent the afternoon chatting while downloading some And1 mixtape vids since its been awhile since I've seen some mind boggling, ankle breakin' moves. I had a very interesting time talking to Chia Nee. Has been awhile since I saw her online so we caught up. I always thought that she was the most innocent and pleasant person that I've ever known but today I learnt a very interesting thing about her. She is soooooooooooooooooooo racist. There are a lot of racists in our country but I never thought that she would be one. The thing she said to me really drove me banana sandwich! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw what she wrote.
It all started when she asked me when am I gonna get a facebook account (which she does everytime we chat). I said that I am too lazy to keep track of it so I just rather stick with an inactive friendster account. Then this is where she said:" u know wat? i feel tat friendster is like corrupted....." When I asked her why, she replied:" coz got melayu version... i feel so BABI!" LOL! Citizens of Malaysia always link government officials with corruption, but this is too much! When I told her how creative I thought she was, she said:" What is so funny? I'm serious! Must got some malays who play frenster but their english sucks, so they bribe the friendster to create a malay version for them!! " LOL! So I went on to explained to her that maybe that version was made for people from Indonesia as they do not use English much over there. Her response made me roar out in laughter:" Oh no wonder the indonesian-chinese in Monash all speak malay. So sien, make me feel tat i am in a out-dated country!! Coz I hear malay....more than eng... wth!! I really hope Malaysia improves, or not next time i'm gonna move to China!" That really makes me wanna say, and you all can say it with me, DA-BE-LIU-TEE-EFF! HAHA, she doesn't fail to amuse me everytime I chat with her.
I was feeling so hungry that I thought I was gonna get gastric and admitted into a hospital any minute. Waited for four hours till I suddenly received an sms from Tommy:" You go eat ba, no need wait for me" Cheou Chii Boon Tommy, don't know how to tell earlier ar? I don't have food reserves one ok? I'm not a friggin' camel. Gonna go make myself some food and get admitted into hospital so I'm signing off for now. Thanks Tommy!

Emptiness
This is gonna be a sipeh emo post. I advise you all to avoid reading this post as I just wanted to leave it in my archives for remembrance of my particular feelings today. Had so many other nice stuff to share with all of you but something happened that left me just empty.
All my life I've made sacrifices for others. As long as others were happy I did not mind losing a future that I was promised and going through hardship. But, what if that cause was lost and the sacrifices could no longer be reversed? What if the people you sacrificed for eventually decided they had to sacrifice for you, or rather sacrifice you and left the picture suddenly? All that's left will be helplessness after knowing you did your best, but still failed. Everything I lived for suddenly came to a dead end or a crossroad that might lead to a dead end. I can't be certain when it might happen but I had a chance to see the near future today.
One of the hardest things to do is to console a heartbroken person when you're even more broken than that person. Even more when that person is the bringer of the suffocating truth, taking away every breath of air as the person speaks. I was dizzy without air, nose and throat blocked by fluids of different kinds, eyes blinded by tears, and all I could hear was my heart banging at my chest, pumping hard strokes of blood through my veins, emotions gushing out wildly, disturbing the regular routine of my body. I could not stand it and tried to escape to my room. What seemed like hours of nightmares and drowning, I woke up dazed on the cold hard floor of my room, wondering whether I passed out or was dreaming. Sadly, after I gathered myself, it was all clear that it wasn't a dream. Spent the rest of the day thinking about the foresight I saw, embracing the dead end as it comes. And though there is no point worrying about something until it arrives, at least I can prepare for it emotionally.
It's special how things are all related. The next day came and I was feeling better, maybe because the worst hasn't struck but I couldn't help but wonder, how come other people can't be the same like me, the way I wake up the next day and try to leave all the unhappy things behind me. Instead, some people are full of vengeance, engulfed in their own sadness and hatred. While thinking about this, I began to relate how people are so busy with their own lives, own emotions, that they can't seem to care about others, or the earth, for that matter. Some people are already having a tough time getting things to go the right way for them that they don't bother to go through the hassle of taking into consideration the welfare of others or the environment around them. It is troublesome for them to even put in a little effort to do the little things that can make a difference in other people's lives or the environment.
How many people in this world actually have good lives? So when you're having a sucky day, do not take it out on the people around you. Instead, try to be nice to everybody, because you'll never know whether the people around you are having a worse day than you and the little nice things that you do might just make them see the brighter side of life. I always look at life and wonder, is there anyway that I can make my life on earth worth it? Even if i don't make my mark in history, I want to at least touch people, at least be remembered for the little good that I have done. Never waste any opportunity you get to do good because you'll never know what impact you'll leave in people's lives.

Banyak Pattern Week
Having a pretty good week so far. Don't really remember what I did on Monday, but went for breakfast and a movie on Tuesday. We watched Wall-E, a really good film which hopefully would give people insight on what will happen if we don't start doing our part to save the earth. And if you watch the movie, you might see Tommy or Cheng Fong in it.
Then on Tuesday night we went to TC's house to give him a surprise for his birthday. We had to do it that night because he the next day was booked by his girlfriend. So we brought the cake to the outside of his house but we did not know how to get him down. And the dogs in the neighbourhood weren't being helpful at all. I think they woke the whole neighbourhood up except for TC. In the end we had no choice but to call him up and ask him to open the door. Not much of a surprise there though, hope he still enjoyed it.
As for today we went for a dinner organized by Tommy's mom at Restoran Taman Rashna. She booked the whole restaurant and gave us a table, which was very nice of her. It seemed like we were gonna be 'kelefe's at the dinner but we were so so wrong. Because we were following Tommy's car, we arrived at the restaurant VIP style. He actually had a parking spot reserved for him right at the entrance of the restaurant. And there were people lining up at the entrance just waiting to welcome us in. The thing that made it more embarassing was when we got down from his car, there were photographers taking pictures of us. So we tried to rush into the restaurant ASAP to avoid all the unwanted attention, but we were stopped to get our autographs. Can you believe that?! I was so wrong about you Tommy, you really are famous! I better take your autograph and frame it up or I'll regret it later! LOL!
Going back to the dinner, we had a pretty fun time. The food was quite good and it's been quite a long time since 10 of us gathered at a table and talked the whole night. And the Yum Sengs were really fun. Can't wait till the day our friends get married and attend their wedding dinners. What joy would that be, being able to share the happiest moments of our friends' lives. I wished that i could guarantee that we won't lose touch with our friends but it's inevitable that some of us might drift away. Hope we all will not lose touch, as great things are still to be done together. I often dream about opening a gigantic company with my friends as all of us are of different fields, enabling us to share our expertise and conquer each areas of possible business opportunities. Hopefully this dream of mine can come true. Hopefully we will all meet back after our studies to continue our great journey in life, sharing the joys and pains together.
Better sign off now, got a full day of activity ahead of me tomorrow. Gonna kick the day off with dimsum in the morning, then head to sunway to go for EMERGE KL 2008. Hope it's gonna be an awesome one this year and I pray that my friends will enjoy it, instead of getting put-off by it. Good night people!
