107. Walk This Road and That, Oh The Other..

Personal

Treat this as like reading 3-4 posts at a time. Like forcing large siewmai and wantan into your mouth at once.

What's up, world? Can't say folks. Much folks folkin' in the work environment which keeps me matured. Can't say old. They were once young hearts whippin' and trippin' down the ages of gold. So no we don't get boring wise men tales. Instead, we get high energy seasoned wise men joyful experiences in form of reminiscence. In years to come we would be doing that, to your kids to your papa and mama. Or right, just your friends or colleagues from all ages. What about it? Whole lotta life experiences.

Pata, Toshi, Yoshiki and Heath of X-Japan

That's the road I am treading on. Just like how my father and I would do (I learn from him) during walks in the gardens or Sunday exercises. He would pick up large twigs, medium-sized branches or dangerous stones and rocks off the common paths of walk. He didn't build a house of rock en' roll. He made the paths safe for himself and others to walk on. So you and your grandmother won't trip on them.

Why did I follow in that? So you and your grandmother won't trip on them while walking that path. Or the little kids that would be trippin' to tell their grandchildren in 6 decades time that they be trippin' on rocks and rolled down the hills because the path was rocky. So is his life.

Simple habit but makes the difference.

Back on this road. That is an exact analogy literally which I am referring to as what I do if this living. I haven't lived to tell all my stories but along the way, like this pit stop; that I pick up experiences from others and myself to live this living. It's my style of balance. Some would do it all by themselves, kudos. Some dependent all the way, not bad.

Scroll down and you see some gloomy posts which summed up a pretty ugly experience. Scroll more or travel along the past years you see colourful forgings of life. My genes.

Let me give you an insight which I am thinking of right now...let's just put it like this, if you're reading my blog and somehow gets to read more in the near future maybe in some regular fashion; that means I am still sane. Sane as to having a regular good feelin' living. Two other extremes mean either I'm over-enjoying life I delete this blog, the other means I am as dead as close to dead mentally or physically. Has happened hahaha.

Great update here. I am no longer employed in Air Asia already yer know? Yes you know. If you don't know you don't give a fudge I don't give a fudge either haha. My tenure as a junior technician there lasted 1 year and 14 days. Unemployed for 3 days. Even moved to a new place already. Tadaa..started anew at somewhere which is not even one year old at that time. But was actually developed from a section of AIROD under NADI. And NADI owns a part of Malindo Air. oops free advertisement. Fresh.

There I am employed as a Technician distinguished from junior techs. So this road I walk leads me to a career which I have conceived as a life filler. Nah..it's not to fill my life. It's a found passion. Still inspired by flying which I have put aside. Future hasn't said no to flying. Good luck to me in this new company. I will grow with it.

I am going reverse chronological a little. Am I? Yes I am with a vortex. So yeah. On Facebook I have posted a photo album of fun and fun-filled experiences which basically summarizes what I have done in the recovery period of a no-no situation and it's a 21-years-old boy wake-up call. I wasn't on the line for storytelling so let pictures give some hints, they will do.  

September 28-29 - Happy Birthday KY - haha he wasn't around and it wasn't a celebration for him - Langkawi (with Jonathan, Ah Hooi and EMC and and Mr. Shaun) . It was a one day getaway to the island and its beautiful beach. Far away from anything cruel and 'life' threatening.

The Eagle

October 5-6 - Danok, Thailand (with Shahrul, Aidil and Hafis - My AirAsia colleague friends) . It was a staff discounted flight ticket to Alor Setar and then hopping onto Aidil's car (it's his hometown) to head to the border town of Sadao. Sawadeeee--kapp.

Nightlife

November 6-9 - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam (with Leon Lui and Chia) . An employee coupon-based ticket which is free of charge (but still pays airport taxes) out of Malaysia! It's been 14 years since traveling out of country, which was Japan and Hong Kong. I know we can discuss and talk about travels to no end. So I have to keep it simple. It's Vietnam, one of the Indochinese countries filled with culture and lifestyles that are very much different from the usual.. The city is of course the same but the people are different. Ok..what? Let's just motives are the same but the way of living is different. Beautiful place. Beautiful ladies. hmm..ahem.

Vietnamese coffee, honey, ginger, bee pollen, shell lacquerware, coconut candy and handcrafts

November 18 - Allianz Penang Bridge International Marathon 2012 (with Ah Hooi, Kent, Kacee, Flora, Alan, Wei Wen and the rest of the world) . It's a freak show. It's a leap of faith. It's a non-sensible thing. We asked ourselves before the run, "did we really sign up for this? gosh it's..." full marathon (42.195 km).

OMKneeee

December 2-3 - Ulu Yam Forest Recreational Family Day (with Air Asia colleagues and some of their family members) . It's located at along the way to Genting Highlands. Natural and beautiful. Unperturbed of the busy cities. It's just fun and serenity. Spending great time which made me (more) into missing my workmates. But play is play. Our activities were paintball, BBQ, river swim, water rafting, Flying fox and people-friendship bonding. A midnight activity out of the place too; hot spring bath.woo yeah. And Batu Caves. Thanks to Timothy and Shan for bringing me there. My first time and such a great opportunity to tour with them.

The BBQ hosted by the families of Azrul and Syed Salim

December 14 - Signs out of the office - "Now Everyone Can Fly"
December 17 - Signs in to the new office HUAT AHHH hahahah

And goodbye.

Seems like a time warp and distortion between fantasy and reality. Smile if you agree. Continue breathing if you're bothered. Several months have passed. It's freaking the third month of the year already. I'd say good things have happened. Joy to the world. Joy to myself and people around.

But there's one occurrence I would like to share cryptically. Because it has some meanings. Some meanings which breathed more life into my living. There's this girl I met a few months ago. A friend of friends. Make friends this way is cool actually. You get a hawk's eye view lol.haha.nonsense. And we started talking a lot one time right in between my transition period of switching companies. I reckon we have gotten quite close from time to time. Of many sharing and company. No guessing please. It's not even cryptic it's vague hah.

There's this sort of magic that exist in life that you don't even expect it coming or even possible. Which brings souls coming together or apart. And there's this opportunity to meet her somewhere at the crossroads connecting everywhere to everywhere. I make plans which only work when they fall together. Just like the maps I draw before I set on any journey to new places. So I did it, I met her there. It's a once in a while thing that one would do with no regrets and if it brings joy and smiles, why not. So back to Earth. Life goes on. When she reads and understands this she would laugh heh. This goes for her. She's a girl with a heart the size at least of Earth. She's a great young woman. She's a flower.

After all, it's just an ordinary world, I would follow up on it and see where the river flows where the wind blows where the sun shines at where I would be brought to.





Much more joy for two of my colleagues. Newly weds they are ^^ .

Firdaus and Nurul. Didn't have a good picture of them but it's on Facebook..so I show you door gifts haha.

Flowery

Haris and Nur Afiqah. Can see..nah not going to show them close-up.

Cutting the cake apart but tying the knot : )

That's all folks, of the world, young and old, happy or grumpy. I just made you readers sleepy. Now where the Brainscrew and Ideals themed blog posts have gone? Just so personal of late haha. Of late, I guess I have combined a little of Ideals into Personal it churns out something of something which is using me myself as the subject. Not quite of brainscrew at the moment. Catch up again we will. Tata.

Look...they were this. Rock gila. Salute to Hide (long gone but not forgotten).

50. The New Phantasma

Greeting/Personal/Friends & Family

There you go, the new post for a new year from for blogspot from a blogger for himself and his readers.[I haven't got any proper sleep yet since 10 hours before the countdown. So it's no-sleep for hmm..maybe almost 24 hours. New year spirit. yeah YW, Hooi and I watched The Spirit. Great.

Hello, Merry New Year. 2009, the year for the Cow. Moo moo.

There's actually nothing much to be briefed here because to reminisce it's much easier if you just go through my posts in 2008 throughout the months. I mean, the accounts were already written why would I want to repeat the storytelling. But that's actually the point of end-year-recap-cum-new-year-greeting post. So I will still get it flipped the pages of life locomotion.

[Popcakes..from popcakes.blogspot.com...bought from Tanjung Tokong place..]

Anyway, I will let some photos do the talking. If you see smiles, they are telling you those were the joyful days. If you see frowns, they telling you those were just the days. If you enjoy looking at the photos, they are telling you that we had fun. If you feel a sense of boredom while looking at them, that means...everything is fine. hah

I just want to post some photos of fun times in the past and throw all nostalgic feelings in them and get them remained there because it's useless looking back too much instead of advancing towards the betterment of life. Let's try not to regress and weep over what's done and passed. Stress-talk: What's done is done, what's gone is gone; they happen, really for reasons. Because the grass is always greener on the other side and every cloud has its silver lining. So get on with life. Each year coming in just gets better and more interesting. But sadly, with each brain cell dying slowly as we age haah.

Let's start slowly with some never before seen photos. From the old times. I do it like this because I feel that the year 2008 had brought tremendous changes to our lives and rocketed free-flowing emotions and life-changing events. People leaving. People loving. People studying. People rising. People working. woo..it's a Rocket Dive. So they serve as momentos of the seemingly benign past.

..depressing..while doing the photo selection and going through them. Dvorak's Symphony no.9 is playing and then suddenly the happy part comes in, a smile is shone from my face.heh

[This is me, receiving my Merit Award in 2007 as the magazine editor...fuhh =.=(smiling lik fux)]

And yeah, ^the early photo is taken a few days after finishing SPM at YW's as the first great G-Jam and the latter is the latest jam with the Strat missing but substituted by an alto sax.
This is the latest photo and a photo taken by Hooi on the first day of the year 2009. It's 7am we were recording a mini G-2 jam and we're not sleeping yet and he's very -blow- d but after that he went to dota by himself while we take a nap before going for Dim Sum.

Oh yeah, we overnighted at YW's. And do blues. Jamming. And practising for our projects. I owe big time stress to YW for my lack of skill AND especially my tardiness for not practising and learning up beforehand. Bad.

Oh yeah, talk about the new year countdown experience. I felt so touched and kinda like wana shed a tear... My first time spectating fireworks from just less than 500 metres away and got the explosions happening and smithereens just above. At Queensbay. And I celebrate that moment with Hooi and YW. The everlasting STILL-SINGLES...not homo. But we revel in enjoying our every minute of freedom of being ourselves and not having any burden or trouble heaping on us.


"When you are with me, I'm free; I'm careless, I believe; Above all the others we'll fly; This brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice"~My Sacrifice, Creed


ROARRRRRRRR this is life. Let's pulverize the new year resolutions.

Anyway, for the people who came into this Earth on the same year as I did..we're only turning wat..not even 20 yet. We're all still so young huh.

I told my mum, I fear Alzheimer's and Dementia the most. Forgetting life. Ain't that scary? Forgetting your friends, family, and the people who have drew or wrecked a smile on your face. Yet, life is on hot wheels. So damn freaking fast...like fast-forwarding Ye-Wheen's already fast fingers doing Bumble Bee...hahhah.

..oh and losing hearing ability.fux.to loud music. aeroplane engines are also deafening. As for now, I am close to losing my knees if I don't ...sigh..my heart in sports and outdoor actitivies

For 2009, I would like to:
-Keep more in touch with friends and family
-Decrease procrastination skill by hopefully 10%(dun be too ambitious)
-Speak less shit-talk and control my heart's agitation(sucks at emotions)
-Do more action that is practical and real
-Manage guitar, studies and other activities
-Waste less money on er....stuffs la..
-hmm..this is new. Reconcile long time buddies....my vow
-be a Better Man..[Robbie William sings]

For avid readers and fans of this blog (wuaha XD) keep in touch with me and I won't let you down. Because unlike some stuffs/activities, I would die dead enough so this blog won't die...until my body rests in peace (but maybe my descendants may want to continue with it). My assurance.

Give me your hand, reach for me and I will show you the life.

What you see is life, what you hear, what you smell, what you touch and what you taste...that's life. I believe in only the 5 senses in reality, other than that just deals with what's in my(our) head, the brain, the mind. But if they do exist, please be excused for being ignorant. The psychotic grumbling emotional juicy dream slurpee-machine. Our existence, let's discuss about it later in the afterlife if your God programmed it. Brahma gives the green light I reckon, for us to live life to the greatest-able and not care too much about what's up there. Black holes and Revelations on Big Bang, what else? A Bigger Bang.

This is the amusing part right when I go on a continuous off-topic who's-ur-papa preaching. If you don't like it...don't force. If you like it, ask for more. I hope to keep myself as busy as possible. Seeing myself often with greasy hair and sleepy eyes in the mirror make me feel useless and guilty.

Ok..just in 1 week I will leave the island once again. Good ol' joyful spending quality time with friends but it's been fulfilled so it's enough. Time for me to go back to pore over the studies. Career. Will be back for Chinese New Year.

So...I wish you all people and all sorts of humans on Earth a happy new year. Have a joyful year. Let the tough gets tougher, and let the simple be solved. wtf.

"If anything can go wrong, it will"...

one of the would-be-learnt topic in the subject Human Factors in near future

Yeah, true. Anything. Everything. Any time. Every time.

So the talk of having a Kerachut was long started and the plan was to take place in this end time of the year. In less than 24 hours, the subject was brought up before we went swimming. This time: Hooi, Khang Yang, Daniel, Ye-Wheen and Jonathan with only 4 goggles. So we agreed. Spontaneous last minute conception of a wonderful and blissful hiking beach trip. That was the way to organize a Kerachut trip since 3 years ago. HAHA. My first time was with the Sea Scouts back in 2003.

Then the 2nd came when Mr. KY suddenly called in the midnight in the end of year 2006. The idea came from his brother. Ok, 2 days later then we went. The 3rd trip took place just like hmm...April this year, 8 months ago with Jon, YW and Hooi and of course the mother/father of Kerachut plan, Mr. KY.

That one was a special occurrence. Hah. It was planned already in advance a week earlier. But due to something I have forgotten about plus the day before the plan Jon, Hooi and I hiked and we're were like so tired and felt bored about the plan so we called it off, ourselves. Then came YW who actually cancelled off his appointments and other plans before going back to KL just to join in the trip admitted about the mentioned thing. I was deeply feeling guilty and with friendship spirit and luckily-good motivation-ed sportsman brought back the plan and called it ON again. hoho we sure had fun.

The evidence:

http://diediediedieemobiaatch-andglobalpeace.blogspot.com/2008/04/rondo-capriccio.html

And ok the 4th. It was like 10 hours close to happening. And then it happened...the real cancellation. woohoo..and yeah I am typing this post while sending and receiving messages of discussion on the matter. This time, the spontaneity fails. Because not many could make it. Hooi has a gig this Tuesday night the 30th. Some busy. Some forbidden. Left me, KY and YW die out of enthusiasm BUT no worries, we've got a new plan. The Penang Hill. You just can't leave the adenosine triphosphates, mitochrondrion and the muscle tissues in such a temperamental shock..so keep them moving and rocking. Tamparan hebat.

sorry babes..

And I want to get this novel, The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. The movie is not bad to me, I like that kind of fantasy and magical adventure. heh.

Books haven't I touched/finished:(if I can remember)
-True Sea Stories (man, I'm skipping the chapters already..can't stand the boredom)
-Chicken Soup for Teenager Soul
-The Simple Science of Flight #
-The Black Hole War #
-Mister B. Gone ##

-SAS: Are You Tough Enough?
-Harry Potter: Goblet Stone (and after that)
##-Dying to read
#-Eager to read

Fark..I'm so hopeless in reading. Couldn't find the nice time to sit down and read. Laptop. Guitar. Bed.

Both dying to read books are dark fantasy disillusioning writings. And the eager to reads are physics-davinci-einstein-newton-hawking related books. Shit..another one, an e-book of The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. Fun eh..it even has its documentary shows in Discovery Channel.

So, what's up? End of the year. Freaking last days of the year 2008. The aftermath of the Big Bangs. Meaningless but filled with imbalanced impacts. The aspects most affected and infected by alien invisible undiscovered substances: Relationships; education and career; life thoughts.

Upcoming post: The identity of the multi-faceted year 2008 revealed.

Current: Scraped skin(from ridge-free slide). Tanned skin. Burnt skin. Polished white ass. Sculpted muscle. Fun. From swimming. Another one ok, before all of us part again for year 2009. Swimming was never fun this fun, seriously. The best was YW moaning, "pls no pls dun, i will give u money later!" Correct me la if script wrong ahaha

Personal/Friends & Family

scheduled posting...by the time this post is posted I am in the class doing one of my midterm exam...

O k..holidays' over. What a life I experienced back in Penang, the island. Yeah, heavy endless rain and news of flood in the city, sad.. but yet, such fun..ain't it fun?

I drove a lot...until a point where my right leg becomes lazy to step for acceleration. So I went on a 40km/h city cruising, annoyed drivers please overtake me haha But no, most of the time I've been speeding, cutting, overtaking and no, I don't tailgate like Jonathan (haha!). It's fun and actually dangerous, think of your loved ones and the consequences when you think of attempting any speed stunts on the road. I always do, and I think that I get to reach them faster and see them sooner =D no la, that's not the point. My point is, THERE HAD BEEN SO MANY ROAD ACCIDENTS HAPPENING. They always happen but that was one day where I witnessed like more than 2 crash sites in a day. Scary. And ya, I inter-knock my sidemirror with someone else's. Not good.

So, it's been fun and pleasurable doing all the activities with friends back there. Meeting and visiting people, cheer up and cast a rain of smiles. Especially visiting my former babysitter with guavas for her...I hope I'd make her happy. The proud thing is I went alone and had a sit and get to eat her homemade jelly "chai-ean" and watching the kids play. They all have grown up so much...who I used to help babysit 8 years ago. fyi my babysitter, she used to babysit our Malaysia's Squash player Nicol David too..proud eh..

And for a reunion with friends. Pretty much joyful. We did like countless of CC outings..bowling games and pool. erh..and consecutive Fettes Park western food. Oh, tau lau juak for a farewell for Shen How. Our future doctor, who just went to Russia for his medicine studies. 6 years-ordeal urh.. As I know, my form 5 class monitor Jeffrey and another guy Edwin are the people who are pursuing medicine. Cool. All the best to them.

This. People who are not in Penang anymore... From right, that's Jonathan, Daniel, X and Andrew. Daniel's in Nottingham and Andrew in Singapore...Nottingham in Semenyih...hehe

[ah...cool growing up photo, thanks to Andrew for the capture and Daniel for sending. btw that's my belt protruded not anything else hah]

Spent most of the time with Ah Hooi la...lonely rocker. DAMN...RM250 for the whole electric guitar package from Andrew. Yeah, never mind I get to at least touch and feel the power before pressing my balls for the next near 3 months. Wait for me!!! I shall come back and complete the harmonizing. And I had the best so far in my experience nasi kandar woohoo...at RM7.50; pahaayam kicap, telur puyuh and daging kambing ketul...fux I will dearly miss it.

Aiya...don't get to spend more time with this buddy la, Mr. Jon...he's darn occupied...never mind haha as long as everybody is happy..

Did shoppings....got 2 new jerseys, sports tops which are so comfortable hopefully they will serve me well in sports. A replacement for my broken tumbler bottle. Got my favourite windbreaker from my aunt yay. And most importantly new sets of underwear...YEARGH! haha

That should summarize a bit or so on the things I did back at home sweet home...it's fun except for the part I have to rush(still slacking) for my homework. At home, I'm really the part-time slacker I once was...eat, play guitar, air drum while listening to music, then sleep and repeat. Or sleep, computer, chat, eat and repeat. Not productive. Only hiking and walk rounds with Hooi sum up the hard work I had. and yeah, new additions of music into my laptop playlist. Jonathan should be fully equipped with games too! There goes the studying motivation...oh yeah, vodka and chocolates from friends from abroad. Hopefully alcohol and cigarettes don't make up a part of me in future...kuatkan iman!

OH YA! Forgotten! Khang Yang's birthday! hahaha We went to celebrate for him. Birthday cake and KFC, and a pair of white school shoes which he need too. 18 years old people....I'm gonna join them soon woohoo...condom sales will shoot up too soon.

22. 3rd Big Bang: Farewell & Road to Nirvana

Personal

The Last Song.

Load it then reap it. A tribute to Hide and the Dir en Grey hardcore supporters.

"SPARK AND SPARK" ~Kyo

1st Big Bang: The one scientist gave a theory basis.
2nd Big Bang: The one I initiated to ignite the barrage of all mysterious, exciting and depressing events starting 2008 A.D.
The 3rd: An ending leading to a new beginning

So much for an ending here in my home sweet home. Though it's only a few months away from home with occasional breaks one could not help but to feel sad and missing many things. It starts with me. I am the one gona leave. Jon as quoted, "it's different between being left and to leave someone" almost made me shed my 'bros over hoes' tears. With the mention of "12 years of knowing each other". I tell you a year of deep understanding and having fun together could already do the magic of friendship. Therein, an attachment is born.

So guys, no matter how many years, 5 years or 3 f*ing preaching years or what. Friends who exist as friends who are branded friends with the objective of being friends are friends you have around now. Leave or being left, I try not meddle with that. But I would just like to express, the most heartfelt and warmest gratitude from my heart and brain and body to you people, friends.

Precious and quality time together, they matter the most. This is what differentiates the feeling and meaning of leaving from other events. When you are far away, you couldn't meet so easily and there is the string of friendship that stretches when contacts get further from each other. So you feel the tension, the extension. And relationships often fades people forget about each other when you do not tend to the string regular enough, the string loses its elasticity and drops loose on the ground like that therefore you don't even feel the missing or close contact you once had.

So much for another beginning. Yo, close friends, enough of "asshole-banging" these few recent days so don't bang extra into yourself lest you bite them off. I don't like seeing men weep you know, the sick korean dramas are portraying men as meek and soft big-babies, furthermore they have pretty faces. Urh. Handsome friends, don't. Pretty friends, don't. haha. And don't make me do it either... heh. Guns N' Roses sings Don't Cry.

Genting 07 - Stick together team! Andrew's the one with cool shades and Jonathan is at top leftmost.

I summarise: We had YW leaving us as early as January to KL for his Taylor's A-levels. Then we have Joel to 'exile' in NS. Jon, Hooi, Jona, Ky and I all went to offer our services to the society by working our ass of for pocket money which eventually went into the CC, arcade, GSC, Subaidah, many restaurants and for some, ahem, treating their female colleagues. So "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang". Then, one by one of us resigned to start our search for education, but for some of us it is hell looking for the suitable course that is within our area of interest and of course, budget. It is not easy. The most free three musketeers that were Jon, Hooi and I went for a regular fitness building stint at the Penang Hill and Botanical Gardens. A free sting by an unknown insect too that hurt like being jabbed for me for no apparent reason. And training for our Hikathon event too. Nice participation.

Tell you what, pleaaase try to hike up early and come down early before night falls. We went through this experience and we can tell you how the lost hiker who was found dead after a few days felt. Yes, we were caught under the dark skies and dense jungle after not making it in time to descend TWICE! No la, we didn't camp we just find our way through the trees with a puny torchlight which Jon brought and luckily he knew the way down from Youth Park no.3 onwards. We were super horrified(we may look macho under the sunlight but you will not imagine how "chicken" we were in the jungle). BUT, we still managed to have fun like take ghostly photos and wasting time capturing the night life scenery. Another encounter was trying to reach point 84 before the paths become really invisible, it was going to rain too so no moonlight. From 84 it started raining so we ran, jumped, fast-walked, slid, fell all the way down using the tar road to Botanical Gardens. The next day, limping with strained knees. Ah, that's all for too much about our jungle boogie.

Then, it was around in April already(heh only 3 months ago). Oh, Mr. Andrew Ling's turn to leave the fellowship of the Singles, Virgins & Unemployeds. He left to Singapore for some Ah Beng objectives. 2 musketeers joined. They were Khang Yang and Jona. Yes, they just fired their bosses but I can't confirm whether they their single status and virgin-being. Movies, food and CC were our activities. 2nd time of Ye-Wheen's return to Penang and that's when we went to overnight as storytold in one of my earlier posts. Before he leave again, we all went to Pantai Kerachut, yes also storytold "recently". Nothing much have happened lately, just plain outings with food and games. The horny buggers went back to GSC to work, hopefully all their wages don't end up in their girlfriends' stomach again. Hell ok, the helpline password "wa bo lui" is a sign of distress when wallets get metabolized. KY on the other hand joined the unforgivens of Form 6. Most people were already enrolled and studying. What do you think of us? Shaking leg is the new niche.

In June, the people were back again. Ye-Wheen and Andrew. A short break. Even Hooi, hah one the original musketeer. You are the first to break free from our hedonistic cult. Nevermind, I am sure your dead damn stout rocker instinct will save you from being a Disted Boy. You know, pig-dogs. Yaha, after due consideration Form 6 abruptly became your place. Hell yeah, Wei Loon's going to the United States of America the future place for Barack Obama. Illinois to be precise. Without you, I am without the Admin section last year. Best wishes. Jon, another F6-shock-cult is also in Form 6 now... stay cool, your turn to whip outstation-ass will eventually make itself present unless Form 6 breathed new life into you. It's just a matter of time right and an in advance wish of good luck in your upcoming application.

So, the final chapter...my turn. Jonathan and I will leave the pack to KL. The Next 1 week break is in the end of August. If you are reading this on Sunday July 6th I am already registered into my universi..colleg...uni...coll...duno wat exactly it is, my new school la haah and checked in into my hostel room already. If you are reading this after Sunday, I am already enrolled, to study for my diploma. Finally huh. Well, to inform again for those who didn't know. My place, is Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology. Situated in Sepang. Close to Bangi and Kajang.

I will be without you all already, after so much fun we had together it's my turn to embark on the next journey. My destination: Jrock kingdom haaha. My secondary objective is to battle the all-star YW band heh. But I will go there unarmed first...lest any mishap loss of property occur in a strange new place.

From Online to Reality - XD hey Adelyn, thanks for this photo. You rily rily rily don't look bad here la. Cheers, friend.

Editorial Board 2006/2007 - Headbang days, but we still find time for quality bonding time [they are YW, Sze-Chuin, Ian, Joel, Wei Loon, Jonathan Toh, Marcus, Eric, X, Razeen, William & Kevin Seow]

Dudes and hotties, I really would like to express my regret and apologizes for all my wrongdoings and sayings towards you people. I mean, yes it's the end of a chapter and past is already passed. But I gotta bring this up, I can just sometimes think back and realised that I did utter and do silly offenses and at times insensitive. Now that I feel sorry I hope that they don't come in between our friendships. I divulge that they meant no harm in any way or just coincidentally derogatory, unfortunately. Oi bugger! Forgive me la! aiy.... =.=

Last but obviously not least, my family members. Sigh, what a great journey it was in 17 years, 7 months and 6 days of caring, pampering, feeding, educating, training and love. This does not need any Stresser talk on love. It's very cliched but still true. Love proves its existence in the actions. Dad. Mum. Bro. Aunts. Beloved late grandpa and late uncle whom with another uncle who hails from Australia who constantly generously helped us kids financially in education. It sounds like a very big deal huh leaving home to a place 350km away. Yes, I being a mummy-spoonfed-boy for almost 2 decades, am going to be independent already. woohoo.

Langkawi 06 - Itulah ayah, ibu dan abang saya. Like father & mother, like sons..

Blood, flesh, milk... & money - That's my papa and my mami.

Here's to a very last activity detail write-up. The very last. Before the whole fellowship was broken into a very small group of Form 6-goers. It was on Thursday. Had Khang Yang coming over to my place for a bath before he rushed to his Interact meeting. Then I do the fetching of friends with Jonathan already by my side at school and we went to have lunch together. Before our movie plan was a pit-stop at Hooi's home. There, I received a great treasure. A surprise. A masterpiece. A gift(wth, wrapped with ribbon but good not in pink color). Really, the word 'thank you' is not enough, not even any love-making...gay. Hooi went got me the latest Joe Satriani - Professor Satchafunkilus & the Musterion of Rock album. I owe Janicia a heartfelt thanks too for contributing in the purchase. Ah...what nice people I have in my life. Gotta appreciate people more already.. Hooi on the ribbon wrote a rather super condensed life summary of knowing each other since Form 1. Heck, I almost cried reading it. heheh.. Ok, we head to Gurney after that with KY. Hancock. Good. Inspirational. Dinner: cream, cheese, pasta, cream and overwhelmed stomach walls. Then the main dish of the farewell outing, CC gaming. Started at 9.30pm. CS. Warcraft. And Warcraft. Ended at 1.30am the next day. wouh. And yeah, driving super late at night is somewhat cool, minimal or nil traffic(hopefully no speed traps). My top speed is 89km/h. Didn't dare go any higher as I was already on the slope coming down with plenty of cars around. I will go 120 next time..hahah So that's it.

I am so happy. A good buy too, 1 CD and 1 DVD for a price of one CD

One final piece of information, my recent favourite TV show was a Japanese drama titled Attention, Please that was aired every Sunday 3-4pm on 8tv. I didn't watch it from the start but middle. This show has ahem pretty actresses-ladies. And the story revolves around this young air stewardess in training, Misaki who picks up everytime from where she falls and learns from mistakes to achieve better grades and be a good flight attendant. The show depicts the lives of these younglings who are undergoing their training stints in both the airport and in the plane(not just the cabin crew, the pilots and the maintenance department are included). So this show is cool, it inspires me and encourages me to aspire to a greater height.

hah, so fun for an ending. I was listening to Joe Satriani's Is There Love In Space album and my favourite is Just Look Up. So buddies just look up for me. I also mean, "don't look down on me!" haha. Do I sound like I am going to Mars or leave Earth for a mission to destroy some stray asteroids coming towards Mother Earth? ..emotional la...my first time leaving home u know and family and friends. Life goes on dudes and babes. This is only an opening to the new chapter of boundless oceans and vast skies.

The Aeroplane - Hopefully, I will.. in the future.

Future in the Dream - Soar, and I will bring the Gods down from above and that will be my ultmate Big Beng.

This would also be a last post. This blog is going down the memory lane and will finally meet the Gods. Yeah, just look up. It's been a hell of a great time connecting with you readers. No, not no more dreams but just for the reason I want to walk away.

That also means no more boring long posts. No more detailed outing accounts. No more confessions. No more grandpa stories for you. No more thoughts to share. No more stress to stress. No more inspirations for you people if ever any.

Merci beaucoup en au revoir

Ame.
