WANDERER'S WONDERS

November comes silently with the rain...

2011-11-01T01:10:00.002+08:00

It is raining tonight. In fact, the rain comes more often recently. It is the monsoon season i guess.

November approaches silently in the midst of the rainy weather. October seems to be a short month for me. It means it was a busy one for me. Hopefully, it will be a fruitful one too...

They are more...

2011-10-14T00:01:00.003+08:00

Well, i have to say...

They are more in number than i thought.

They are much more closer in distance than i thought.

They are more visible in character than i thought.

They are more in many ways than i thought.

I hope you find your destination one day, little wanderer.

My 2011 CNY

2011-02-19T21:00:00.005+08:00

It's time to write something here. Ya, i think now is the time. Haha... What a boring opening...

2 weeks of CNY holiday at home sweet home was the longest i've ever had since i registered myself in UKM 5 years ago. I'm glad to have quality time with my family and friends in my hometown.

This year, i managed to stay until 9th day of CNY, which is the biggest day for the Chinese Hokkiens where we pray for the Sky Goddess (天公). I have to admit that CNY was no longer that fun as when i was a little boy but hey, occasional sounds of fire crackers really excite me. During the ceremony of praying for 天公, the dark sky is wonderfully lightened up by fireworks from my rich neighbours (although fire crackers are banned in here). Helping my mum for the ceremony really made me feel the excitement of CNY.

Have i ever mentioned my pet here in my blog? We named him Vicky. He is turning 12 years old this year. He looks older and older every time i go back to see him. I really love him and scared to lose him.

2011 is the year of rabbit. Rabbit is cute but i don't think i can handle it as a pet. haha... whatever. I just want to wish everyone i know a fruitful year ahead. Stay pretty, wealthy and healthy. Good luck!

What the hell is this? Am i depressed?

2011-01-23T13:59:00.003+08:00

It came up right after i finished a Korean drama, namely Secret Garden, led by my favorite korean actress, Ha Ji-won. Honestly, i've not been watching any korean drama for quite some time already. I chose this drama because of Ha Ji-won and it turned out to be a damn good choice. In fact, the drama is too good for me.

I remember i used to watch a lot of dramas (hong kong, taiwan, korea, japan, siam and telenovela...) back then in my secondary school time. I'm the kind of person who will totally drawn into it when i really like the drama. I will watch every single detail of the drama, and will hate to miss any second of it. Ya, it sounds good right? But the drama comes to the finale, the nightmare follows afterward.

I started to miss the story of the drama. I searched for comments and news about the drama online. I thought of the drama when i'm idle. I'm just simply can't accept that the drama is ended. I just can't let it go. Is this after-drama blues? depression? Is there any medical term to describe a syndrome like me?

Oh, i hate it. I remembered last time it took me about 2 or 3 weeks to totally get out of the syndrome. No, that is too suffering. i need to get out of this fast.

Ok, now go watch this korean drama. One of the best i've ever watch. 5 stars and highly recommended. Hope you enjoy it!

新年快乐

躲过了寒冷的冬天，劳燕启程往北方的春天飞去；在外打拼埋头苦干的游子，归心似箭。

A declaration has been made

2010-11-08T21:29:00.003+08:00

I've given myself enough of time and chances. There is no more after this. So, prove to the others** that they are wrong! And more importantly, prove to yourself that you are right!

What is a 'birthday' to you?

2010-08-28T01:05:00.002+08:00

Birthday is about caring

Birthday is about sharing

Birthday is about blessing

Birthday is about cheering

Birthday is about forgiving

Birthday is about celebrating

Birthday is about thanksgiving

Birthday is about remembering

I truely felt the warmth of sharing during my 25th anniversary. Thanks to all of you who remembered me on that day. (Oh, no! I can't believe i'm 25 now. No!!!)

月记(1)

2010-07-16T00:40:00.006+08:00

2010年7月
短暂而充实和快乐假期一眨眼就闪过了，新学期也紧接着来。这个学期跟以往的更加不一样，ptptn没有了，自己要兼职打工赚取零用钱，靠自己！熟悉的面孔更少了，留在UKM的朋友越来越少了，喝茶次数变少了。。。

2010年8月
不知不觉，我一工作了一个月。领到第一份薪水时，其实没有特别开心。我很想做很多东西，但我有的能力还有限，(现在只能养自己)*。还记得有不少的朋友毕了业出来打工后，回来找我还请我吃饭，我当然不会忘记你们！有机会的话，一定会请你们吃一餐。

2010年9月
Design 好像离我越来越远了。。。当初的那股热忱，随着时间的流逝而淡化。也许是我太长时间呆在这里了。一眨眼，在大学的日子已经迈入第六年了！上个学期，放弃学业而选择活动，现在就知苦了 T.T。设计放在一旁久了之后，好像都不当一回事了。等到交功课的日期靠近了，才来赶东赶西的。这是才发现，这个没有，那个没有。要再次启动阁下三个月的久引擎，实在够力难啊！哎。。。现在真的好痛苦啊！我要毕业，我要毕业！

Archustic and I - Part 2: We call it Archustic!

2010-07-15T19:51:00.003+08:00

Part 2: We call it Archustic!

2009 was a fruitful year for me. I joined New Tune Live Performance on 4th year 2nd sem (the semester i did my highrise, which i got the chance to be at the rooftop of Menara Dayabumi. Opps... lari topik sekejap, hehe...) and 30th UKM Pesta Tanglung(where i performed on stage as a dancer, haha...) on 5th year 1st sem (where i rode my 11 year old motorbike to Sungai Buloh, haha. It may be nothing special to you but i am proud of it).

Back to archustic, or 'workshop' i called it that time. I was assigned the post of Head of Protocol. I noticed a trend in JSB, i.e. a person who holds a particular post in his JSB activity like Festsena will be assigned the same post from there on, and i have no exception. Actually, i was not the head at first, i was supposed to be the advisor to the head, which is my junior. But after all the bla bla bla... I ended up in this situation.

We had 1 year for preparation. 1 year ago, i have no idea how long is one year for archustic, but now i can say, it is more than enough(or just nice i guess some may say, but definitely not too short ). Meetings and discussions were the boring part during preparation, and i hate conflicts, which are very annoying to me but i know they are inevitable.

Worrying about the number of manpower we had, we had made a 'smart' move of engaging 2 co-hosts. Yes, i put the word smart in inverted comma because i was one of them who objected having 2 co-hosts. You may think "a problem shared is a problem halved" but i would say "more people, more problems". Haha... yes, i still hold that principle.

Anyway, we still go for majority (is it a majority decision that time?? mm...haha). We meet representatives from Taylor's and Twintech. First impression, Twintech: 'friendly', 'easy-going', 'a bit passive in contributing ideas'; Taylor's: 'Wow!', 'very active in discussion', 'will it be a problem later on?'. Haha...

Logistic was never easy to gather 3 schools in one place. It was costly and time-consuming to hold a 3-school meeting, but things got to move on. Finally we agreed on the theme, 'Archustic'.

Archustic and I - Part 1: Count me in!

2010-06-20T00:56:00.007+08:00

Finally, Archustic ended in rounds of applause...... Congratulations to all the Archustic members!
[flash back...]

Part 1: Count me in!

To be frank, I started the journey of Archustic with doubts. I doubted about my ability, my juniors' capabilities. I doubted about the leader's leadership. I doubted about the commitment offered by co-hosts. But i did keep a dream with me, that is to do something special for my very last year in UKM as an architecture student.

Starting from 1st year, i have been enjoying joining/organizing all sorts of programs and activities. Camping, community service, dancing, singing... i fill my student life with colours other than design and architecture. Many don't understand me why i spent so much time out of studio. Me, on the other hand, don't understand why they spend so much time in the studio. Haha...

I still remember the day i received Beh's sms asking for my vote for UKM organizing the next workshop. I replied a 'NO' with no hesitation. But why am i in the team after all? Seriously, i was touched by the spirit shown by my juniors who were just coming back from the previous workshop - Rumi. They showed great interests in organizing the next workshop. I could see people giving promises that they are going to this and that. Well, i was still skeptical about the spirit shown. Anyway, i did see quite a number of them that are really anticipating for UKM organizing the upcoming workshop. So, i tell Beh, "I've changed my mind, count me in!"

没那么简单 Not that easy

2010-05-09T00:24:00.006+08:00

True happiness lies in your perseverance, the thing that you always insisted on

原来放弃没有想象中简单。‘放弃’，说的容易，但更需要勇气！当你已经做头无路时，眼前只见黄河。这个时候，你才发现，你一直最想要的东西，还没实现，该怎么办？人是不是非要等到临死关头了，才来悔过当初，才会看清楚自己最想要的是什么？

我问自己：“这么做到底是对还是错？”
我回答说：“我不知道。。。怎么办？怎么办！碰墙了，这次真的碰墙了！”

这段日子，我常常跟自己对话，自问自答。有时候觉得这样不太好，就把问题与答案写在部落格里。哈哈，你们催我update blog. 其实，我已写了些东西，只是没勇气把他们都放上来。很再看回去，发现全都是自己内心的挣扎。

说真的，我想很多，很多。很多时候，我很贪心。我把不同的问题，大的小的，友情亲情，金钱功课。。。对在一起想。结果就是，什么solution都没有！

算了，我很累了，not physically but mentally and spiritually. 所以我开始逃避问题，寻找短暂的快乐。‘我要快乐，我要快乐！’ 短暂的快乐，毕竟还是暂时性的。第二天早上睁开眼睛，现实还是赤裸摆在你眼前，躲不过。

I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it.

最后，我选择了面对现实，我选择了暂停design thesis。也许你会觉得我很懦弱，在最后的关键时刻认输了，但我没有放弃！再尝试放弃的过程里，我才看到我真正要的是什么。是是非非，你的好坏，我都不想去管了。我想好好休息，用另一个角度去看自己多年以来忙碌（盲目）追求的梦想。I'm not sure what i'm doing now is correct or not, but i see my path that leads to nowhere. Not knowing where i'm going is what inspires me to travel it.

Thanks to those keep motivating me when i'm down, you know who you are. I really thank you for the advises, sms, facebook comments and for the off-pitch singing, haha... I'm not giving up. It's simply because i need more time to complete the journey. Good luck to you that are still fighting, keep it up!

Quick glance of my recent life...

2010-03-27T15:40:00.003+08:00

1. It has been more than a month since my last entry. Am i too busy for updating my blog? Or Facebook just simply taking over the role of online sharing from blogging? Or i simply didn't have anything special to share? haha...

2. When there is a will, there is a way! Yes, when you are determined, you will find all the ways to the destination you want no matter rainny or sunny. But what happens when you lose your will?

3. I have moved my workstation to Juniperus(my design studio in UKM). So i travel everyday from my rented house at Hentian Kajang to school. It is tiring and costly. Anyway, the best place to do design is still studio.

4. 'There are things that you can forgive but you can't forget.' i saw this comment in out of my fren's FB profile. I just couldn't agree with it more. They said 'time is the best remedy to forget a thing'. Now i hope time can move faster and faster...

5. After working in Circle Cafe (or more precisely, Circle Restaurant and Pub, a lifestyle cafe) for more than 2 months, it comes to an end as the cafe has to quit operating due to ...(i don't have to include the details here, haha...). So, my part-time singing at the cafe also stop. It was the first cafe where i have been working as part-time cafe singer. Thanks to the cafe boss, Vaughn for his courage to give us the opportunity to perform there. I hope the poor business is not because of our poor performance, hehe... Anyway, i did learn a lot of things there. The experience i earned there is precious.

6. After resting(not singing) for 2 week, Sam and I decided to perform at Meru Station One as we got the offer from an agent. The PA system there is... just horrible. Now only i realize how good the PA system in Circle was. Anyway, it was a lesson and experience for us too. Now we have to learn to be more independent. From instrument set-up to the audience control and songs request, we have to handle all them with 'smart'. There are more other places to come.

I'm sick...

2010-02-08T23:09:00.002+08:00

Woke up 9am in the morning, feeling a bit different as usual. Ohhh... body pain! I felt dizzy and powerless. "Shit! I think i'm sick". And yes, i was sick. the 2 following days was terrible. What i did was nothing but sleeping and taking medication(not to count the occasional fbook session, hehe).

When i was sick, i lay on my bed, i thought a lot. How lucky i am if my Mum is by by side when i'm sick? How lucky i am if i have someone who care about me by my side when i'm weak? How good it is if someone can prepare my meals and medications? How good it is if someone can send me to clinic? How this and that...

I recalled at a time during my 1st year, when i was sick, and i mean a serious one(i can't walk down from my bed for the 1st day), my dearest roomate wash my laundry, my paras mates borrowed a car and send me to clinic, my direct senior bought me medicines and porridge... i was so lucky to have them by my side. Now i'm all on my own. And i should be on my own in fact. I should be able to be independent and take care of myself.

Chinese New Year is just a few days away from now. Let this suffer mark the end of bad luck of Ox Year. Welcome my best of luck in Tiger Year! Happy Chinese New Year.

I hate Thursday!

2010-01-21T09:11:00.002+08:00

Woke up 6 in the morning, one hour later than that set in my alarms of 2 handphones. Arrhhh... i hate Thursday. I supposed to show my design today but my procrastination(i wonder is there a cure for it?) had brought into trouble now! I remember he said: "don't turn up for crit if you don't have space planning and building forms!" Oh...

Take a look at the weekly schedule... omg! I will be entering the 6th week of this sem next week. 5 weeks have been wasted. And i just can't get my works done.

Oh what am i doing here? What am i writing here? Is this a confession? Hey, you better listen, go get your works done, stop procrastinating!

末路 End of the Journey

2010-01-21T08:37:00.004+08:00

拥挤街道你你我同路
你的身影我却看不清楚
过得好不好有没有人照顾
还有没有人熬夜听你说诉

只可惜
故事未完成我们却走到末路
我们的爱像少了一块的拼图
怎么拼也拼不出爱

走投无路
我们背驰各自的道路
爱停在没有续路的末路
天黑以后我们还是迷了路

p/s: this is a lyric i tried during NewTune Music Camp. Post it here, it's incomplete anyway.

阿尔奇特者

2010-01-11T03:49:00.003+08:00

阿尔奇特者
是一位洋人
他叫阿尔姓奇特者

阿尔奇特者
即奇怪有特别

奇怪的是
他千变万化

特别的是
他包罗万象

阿尔奇特者
她让你同时间爱她
也很他

你越想抱紧她
他就越想溜走
当你不在乎的时候
他其实就在你身边

找不到平衡点的话
你会走火入魔

阿尔奇特者
我越是了解你
我越是恨你
我越是爱你

It's again end of the year (Part 2)

2009-12-24T14:16:00.002+08:00

It's again end of the year, and also the start of new pages of my life diary in 2010. My university life was never complete without activities, i mean activities other than my studio. One of my coursemate said: "i really don't understand why you want to let your surrounded by all sort of activities even during the final." I don't have to explain much actually. Coz he won't understand. This is my life, this is what i enjoy doing. I know what am i doing and i enjoy it.

Studio was the part that i don't want to touch most, but what to do. It must be funny if an architecture student tells you that there is nothing special about his studio life. Design studio was the one that make me more and more matured. Through the lens of studio, you see things clearer about your study, leadership, friendship and influence. I managed to keep the topic that i wanted to do so much for my design thesis. After all the hard works, the result didn't pay. You need to play the game hard and smart, and all i can say is i'm not that smart, haha. Well, no regret man! I play the game with the topic i want, what i've earned is something more than just the result. Got to play it hard and smart again now for this new semester(and hopefully the last semester, haha...).

Stamps! Stamps! Stamps! Because of Fadhil and Zaid, the spirit of collecting stamps resurrects in my heart again. I bring all my old and long abandoned stamps album from my hometown to share with them. Thanks to them and Iman, i got a lot more of new stamps now by using barter system, haha...

Before the new semester starts, Archustic Trial Camp filled in part of my holidays. It was fun and highly motivate to work with the juniors and also the friends from Twintech and Taylor's. The torch of Archustic 2010 is officially light up now. Let's work hand in hand to realize the real one in coming June. Hehe...

Just when i thought Trial Camp will be a good full stop for me in 2009, a new assignment came to me. Through Sam Ching, my Xia Xiang junior, i got the chance to sing in Circle Cafe, a musical cafe at Old Klang Road. I'm now taking part time there as a singer, hehe... I really enjoy singing and i treat my every performance as a new assignment. I hope i can be better and better.

It is now 3.24am 1st Jan 2010. I seal this post here with my blessings. To my parents and siblings, friends and relatives, happy always, healthy and good luck in 2010, muaks!!!

It's again end of the year (Part 1)

2009-12-16T21:36:00.002+08:00

It's again end of the year. Year comes, year goes. Time never stops, it never waits. I'm turning 25 next year in 2010. Haha... It has been a fruitful year for me (and of course the tree bears fruits that attacked by worms too). When i browse through my previous entries of 2009, i found that 2009 passes very fast. I'm so reluctant to let go 2009. Too many memories inside. There are so many things that want to undo and redo. Don't know why, i don't anticipate much of 2010, is it because of what i've gone through in 2009? I started good in early 2009, putting aside those bad things in 2008, expecting a new life in 2009, but things doesn't really go as what i planned. Maybe, this is the interesting fact of life. Never expect too much of what u have paid for. Treasure what you have and be grateful to what you've gained. Luck may fall on you when you least expected. C'est La Vie...

When i analyzed back my entries of 2009, i found that there is one thing that keep revolving around me throughout the year, i.e. friendship. Frankly, i'm very very exhausted about this problem already. It drove me up and down like a roller coaster. I shouldn't have waste my time on people that don't deserve my attention and care. No one is perfect, and of course me too. I have to learn to tolerate with people's imperfection to make things better(if not perfect). So, for 2010, i wish i can get out of this.

Two major stage performance added spices to my uni life this year. New Tune Live Performance as singer and UKM Pesta Tanglung as dancer. Pesta Tanglung was a special memory for me. I never thought i can dance on stage. Moreover, i get to know a group PT gangs. They are playful, friendly and energetic. I really miss the days when practice dancing in Pusanika.

(to be continued)

好朋友

2009-11-09T09:49:00.002+08:00

当年的手牵手

放学回家我们一起走

好想好想剧情可以重演时光可以倒流

如今我们各分南北

胸怀大志为梦想而飞

很想很想你过得比我好身旁有个人陪

多少次我们说过不管发生什么事

我们会是永远的好朋友

Recently, there were so many unexpected 'surprises' came to me. Life doesn't really go as what i've planned. I just couldn't prepare and handle them well. Well, these are challenges in life. I know there still thousands of it ahead in my life. Just come to me, i'm not afraid of you anymore!

对不起与谢谢

2009-11-06T18:53:00.000+08:00

‘对不起’和‘谢谢’这一组反义词，有个共同点。那就是：真诚的‘对不起’和‘谢谢’，是不会轻易被说出口的。

Good luck to me!

2009-10-23T01:21:00.003+08:00

Life is not always a bed of roses. There are always challenges and obstacles at the middle of our life journey. I believe that there is always a meaning behind every bad thing fall on me. But when too many incidents happen at a time, you just can't handle it well.
Exam is coming, final submission is getting closer too. Good luck guys, wish myself good luck too. I need good luck now, to stay healthy, stay energetic, stay motivated and free from perkara-perkara yang remeh-temeh. Any surprises, please reach me after 19th Nov. Peace!

看见遗失的忆记 Discovery of the Lost Memory

2009-10-05T03:32:00.008+08:00

I wanted so much to write an entry about this actually, but the most critical thing is, i don't know how to start. "There are so much to write about, so much to say about. The feeling is complicated. To all my friends and teachers in PT, i'm really grateful : )", this is what i wrote in my facebook profile.
Joanne, i wanna thank you for introducing me UKM Pesta Tanglung. Thank you for persuading me to go for audition. I never thought that i can dance like this, haha :D. This is a breakthrough in my life. A bonus for my last year in UKM. I can still remember how embarrassing i was during the audition. Dancing alone in front of teachers and peserta. OMG!
I fell in love with contemporary dance after the first lesson. I had decided to follow it until the end. One and one lesson passed, the teachers become more and more fierce and serious as we only have 2 months to practice the performance. 'point your leg', 'hold centre', 'accent', 'lift up' ... these are the words that i won't forget for the rest of my life.
I'm glad and lucky to know the all the PT dancers who held on until the end. Because of you guys, i stayed strong. My determination never shake. I know i'm going to miss you guys whenever i think of PT-30.
Harsh time in PT reminds me of 心的牵引下乡辅导团. I found back the long lost sense of belonging in PT as a dancer. The small number of dancers is like a family. We work together and hold each other side by side. We help, motivate and learn from each other.
PT-30 finally ended in rounds of applause at the night of 3rd Oct in Dectar. It was Mid-autumn Day and also my grandma birthday. I skipped her 80-yrs old bday celebration due to PT performance. Grandma, happy birthday to you!!!
The most emotional part during these 2 months was not the finale actually, but the day before, which is the rehearsal. We did so badly during the rehearsal. We disappointed teachers, our friends and even ourselves. I burst into tears cos i knew that i could have done better. However, the spirit didn't fade off just like that. We, the dancers woke up early in the morning after just 3 hours sleep to go for the last practice before the show at night. Some of them even skipped classes and simulasi. What a sacrifice!
心态对了，做什么都对！这是我在下乡时领悟到的，也是我一直坚信的。在PT里，也是一样。每个舞蹈员在参加PT的过程里，所追求的也许不一样，但心态很重要！With the right attitude, you are not only responsible to yourself, you are responsible to your teamates and teachers. 我不曾质疑队友们的付出，因为我相信大家真的尽力了。流过的汗和血，受过得伤都是最好的证明。不管结局在被人眼里是怎样的，在我的心里，过程永远是最美丽的 ^^
《看见遗失的忆记》让我看见了我久违的热忱与冲动，让我重温下乡时的点点滴滴。我真的很感谢大家：凤明老师，秀菁老师，两位hip-hop老师，晓晴，惠莲和他的孩子们，exco们，鼓励与支持我的朋友们，当让还有一起奋斗的战友们，you will always on my mind ^^
Two months time was like a beautiful dream that i don't want to break, but nothing is forever. 美丽的梦总是短暂的，好好珍惜就没有遗憾...(my personal message in msn messenger).

心态对了，做什么都对！

2009-09-15T04:14:00.002+08:00

今天，看了PT园游会的舞蹈录影后，心中浮现从来都没想过的满足感。记得‘大妈’以前在下乡时常说的一句话：“心态对了，做什么都对！” 心态真的很重要，因他决定一切。
一开始，我没想过参与舞蹈表演，我会得到什么。说真的，我只想找个课业以外的活动参加。可以活动胫骨，减减肥也好。舞蹈课，一堂一堂的过，我渐渐喜欢上了。认真学习舞步，尽量不缺课。终于，可以在PT园游会的preview show看到了一点小成绩，很开心，满足！
I posted 'finding satisfaction thru appreciation' recently in my facebook, twitter and msn messenger. Now i realised that it is true! Don't complain too much about what you have now. In fact, we should appreciate what we have. Live your life to the fullest. Dedicate your time on what you like to do. Do it with passion and determination! That is satisfaction in life.

Book Launch: Making and Unmaking the Asylum - Leprosy and Modernity in Singapore and Malaysia

2009-08-11T12:12:00.004+08:00

SIRD, Save Valley of Hope Solidarity Group and the Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall Youth Section (KLSCAH-YOUTH) jointly invite you to the launching of Making and Unmaking the Asylum: Leprosy and Modernity in Singapore and Malaysia, a book by Loh Kah Seng.

The book will be launched by YB Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping, Selangor state Exco member for Tourism, Consumer Affairs and Environment.
Date: 15th August 2009 (Saturday)
Time: 2.00pm – 4.40pm
Venue: The KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, No. 1, Jalan Maharajalela, 50150 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This very special event also brings together representatives of the former residents of Valley of Hope in Sungai Buloh—the world's second largest leprosy settlement that was partially demolished in 2008 despite calls to preserve it as a heritage site—to share their life testimonies and thoughts resulting from state and public stigma against leprosy. The audience will include social activists and friends/families members who shared solidarity with the Valley of Hope.

Making and Unmaking the Asylum recounts the entangled histories of leprosy in colonial and postcolonial Malaya/Malaysia and Singapore—decades of heavy-handed biomedical policies and laws enacted in the name of modernity, science and development, interwoven with the personal accounts of those who were sent to the asylums. The leprosarium was a living hell for many. It is also no coincidence, Loh argues, that the majority of patients were poor and working-class.

Yet this book also richly demonstrates how patients resisted being victims—creating new families, forging friendships, working, joining unions, and actively engaging in their communal religious and cultural lives.

Having struggled to remake the asylums into homes, ex-sufferers in both countries have been evicted or moved again, their personal and collective histories erased, and their real homes exchanged for hospital wards.

About the Author Loh Kah Seng is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asia Studies, Singapore. His doctoral thesis at the Asia Research Centre, Murdoch University examined the role of the 1961 Kampong Bukit Ho Swee fire in the making of modern Singapore.

One mission accomplished!

2009-08-10T22:25:00.008+08:00

Hooray! I've reached Sg Buloh, i've reach Sg Buloh using my motorbike. Huhoo...! I can still feel the excitement when i first saw the road sign stating 'Sungai Buloh 9 KM' on the highway(i don't know the name of the highway. KL so many highways with different names. I always get confused which is which.) to Pusat Kawalan Kusta Negara.

Today is Monday and i don't like Monday cos it is design studio day. Crit session, presentation, design, discussion, blah blah blah... Oh, no! Get me out of here. So, i decided to do my site visit today(hehe, it is part of my design also mah...). After some busy phone conversations in the morning, i quickly had my lunch and geared up for the anticipated journey. This time, i did not think twice, not even thrice. I knew it won't happen if i think too much. So, no hesitation! Pack and go!
Alamak! The red light in my motor 'dashboard' (haha...) is lighten up, indicating that 2T is running out! 'Kuat makan betul budak ni!' So, i had to feed him with 2T, then filled up the almost empty oil tank. Only then i feel safe riding on highway.

The rain comes right after i entred Kerinchi Link(don't ask me why i chose this road, i just followed what i see in the many 2 road signs). I saw people stop by the road to put on rain coat. :( i don't have one. I thought i can go against the rain but finally i pulled down under a fly-over. My jacket is soaking wet.

Speeding cars, busses, lorries, one by one passed beside you. The feel of waiting under the fly-over is heart-pounding. Luckily i was not alone. There were other bikers there. 'Bukan senang nak jadi penunggang motosikal, tau!'

After a few stops to shelter from the rain, i arrived at PKKN at 4.30pm. I managed to meet the officer-in-charge and tell him my intention of visit. However, due to the rules and regulations, i have to get approval from the Pengarah before i can gain access to any info. Somemore, he told me that: 'this is a sensitive issue'. Well, all i can do is just wait.

I went to the settlement and jalan-jalan there using my motorbike. Due to the rainy day, i managed to take some pictures only. Before i went back to Hentian Kajang, i stopped by at PJ to visit my bro. I showered there and had a change. After having dinner with my brother, i pun balik lah.
Wait wait! Tell you one more thing. I almost missed the motorbike lane when i reached Sg Besi Tol. Haha... ;-P

Lately...

2009-07-31T23:19:00.007+08:00

Lately
Nothing seems to be special
Everything is so usual
Or am I too usual
For things to be special

Lately
Yesterdays tend to be forgotten
Tomorrows never come late
Or am I too late
For things to be forgotten
Or am I too old
For things to be remembered

尝试与追求 Trying vs Pursuing

2009-07-27T23:49:00.005+08:00

有时候我觉得
我是追求尝试的成功者
也是尝试追求的失败者

Sometimes, i believe that
i'm good in trying
but not in pursuing

Verse

没有乌云掠过的夜晚

孤寂月亮还有繁星的陪伴

没人伴随在我身旁

还想有你来为我作伴

Pre Chorus

噢…哎… 只可惜

Chorus

你留的给我再也不看

你能承诺的也只是那么一半

面具撕烂谎言被拆散

赤裸事实总是那么伤

你不屑

横冲直撞也不懂退让

我能实现的也只是那么一半

对你的期盼只是过期的奢望

那些曾经过往是否都该被遗忘

Bridge

原以为我学会习惯

更相信生命多么无常

为何结局总是如此难堪

到了最后我还是失常

Ending

把伤心冷藏把眼泪晒干

让你的影子随着云烟消散

抬头仰望也让微笑绽放

未来日子还很长

This is my first attempt in writing lyrics! So happy and thanks to SooYung coz he helped me a lot in correcting the lyrics and made it into a song. I wrote this during my painful time. I tried many ways to release my tension but finally i resorted to writing. I didn't plan to write it as a lyrics at first. Haha...

Try to write something when you cannot find yourself a way out. It may be the best way! By the way, this lyrics is not about gf-bf's love, it's about relationship. Feel free to leave your comment here!

Happiness comes in what form?

2009-07-08T23:07:00.003+08:00

Happiness comes in what form? If happiness can be kept and never expire, please tapao for me so i can keep them for future...

(A friend of mine sent me a bag of happiness when i needed most, thank you!)

Site renovation...

2009-06-22T12:03:00.003+08:00

Undoubtedly, blogging has become part of my life(for a person with less than 4 entries per month, haha...). I started it 2 years ago, not knowing how far i will go. I tried blogging before when i was in form 6 i think, but i don't remember the page already. Maybe it has been deleted, hehe...
Anyway, i've decided to give it a new look. The renovation work has been tendered. Works begin as soon as the contractor is ready, haha...And of course, the architect is me!

After Highrise semester...

2009-06-18T01:49:00.007+08:00

I promised myself to write an entry about a summary of what i did in last semester(4th year 2nd sem), but it seems like this entry now is a nit late, haha...

I like to do self evaluation (so called) after a semester and try to make it a habit. I did it sem after sem, and now, come this semester, i some how... don't know why? It looks like i'm trying to avoid it. Why? AM i tired of all these already? or this is not important anymore? or i don't have the confident to face it?

Last semester, i call it Highrise. I started it in confusing mode actually. I was totally terrified by Urban (the sem before Highrise) and at one state, i was thinking of quiting. I just keep telling myself that i deserved another chance and i continue the journey in uncertainty. Surprisingly, Highrise turned out to be quite enjoyable at the begining. Of course we still have the inevitable group work (which i hate the most) to do, but it was not that heavy compared to Urban. The KL highrise case study was a nice experience for me. I visited Kompleks Dayabumi, Menara Great Eastern and UniKL. Dealing with the admins was a good learning ooportunity too.

Then comes the design part. It is a bit ... (how should say 可惜 in English? haih, lack of vocab). I used to say i believe in 'design without concept is nothing', but i did it this semester. The concept of the design is rather weak, not up to my expectation :(

Working in the studio

In the meantime, i joined an extra curicular activity, haha... I joined New Tune and participate in New Tune Live Performance in Dectar. I'm happy to get to know lots of new friends, esp. the juniors. I learned a lot of singing exercises help me to improve my singing. Hehe... Happy moment always ends very fast. After the performance, i got back to my normal and boring life.

After four years of architectural study, what disappoints me most, is the 4-year-old friendship i shared with my coursemates. One case by one case, i've been hurt. Ya, hurt, it is not exaggerating at all to use this word. Some said i've changed into another person. And yes! It is true. I've changed since then. I opted for ~~dasar luar tertutup~~. I set myself a firewall.

Field trip to Kuala Terengganu (again)

Broga Hills

All in all, it was not a smooth sailing semester. With gains and loses, sacrifices are unavoidable. At least, i can still say I never regret doing architecture.

8th day at home

2009-05-26T10:37:00.005+08:00

Woke up at 8.30am, not knowing what day is today, what date is today, i powered up my pc and log in to my fb account. This action seems to be a routine now in every morning of my holiday at home. Hey guys, good morning(if you are reading this in the morning)!

Time passes really fast! No joke man, today is my 8th day at home. After looking at the calender, and thinking back what i've done in the past few days... mmm...i need to really plan what i'm going to do now.

Don't know why? (and i don't want to know why) Thesis just don't fill in any corner of my mind right now. I really don't want to think about it right now. You may say i'm lazy but i don't care. Holiday is meant for us to relax and enjoy. I don't wan to start thinking about thesis right now coz i know i've one year ahead to work with it. After this holiday, i will go back to my boring life(well, i know it's going to be very boring and tiring but i will try my best to twist it even if i will be more tiring).

That day, mmm... a few days ago (i'm bad in remembering days, dates and numbers), i hang out with 3 of my old friends here. It has been quite some time that i did not meet them. I'm the kind of ... 'slow cooker' i guess, i didn't talk mush even though i had a lot to share with them. I'm always the type of 'slow to get warm', sigh... i know we will have fewer and fewer chances to gather around in the future, cos everyone is getting busier and busier with his own stuff.

To be continue...

At home, finally...

2009-05-20T07:01:00.003+08:00

Waking up 5am in the morning for my nature call, i decided to continue my bizarre dream at first but the the mattress was really uncomfortable. I need time to get used to it.

This is my 3rd day at home...

Characteristics of Architecture Students...

2009-05-05T04:37:00.003+08:00

To understand architecture students better, I got an interesting post (extracted from Adian's blog). Sentences in bold are the characteristics of architecture students. Sentences in italic are my comments.

Here we go...

The alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep
Not for me. Sometimes it doesn't work at all.

You're not ashamed of drooling in class anymore
I do this since form 6 still practising it now.

You know what Superglue tastes like
Not superglue, but UHU.

You've obtained at least one scar during model making
No obvious scar, but quite a few cuts.

You celebrate space and observe your birthday.
Don't understand... not applicable to me i think.

Coffee and Red Bull are tools, not treats.
I prefer teh tarik than coffee, but no Red Bull please (expensive, taste bad, and it works the same).

You feel offended when someone offers you a kilometrico/bic pen.
No comment.

Your diet is made up mostly of instant noodles.
No way! Healthy diet ok...

People are nauseated just by smelling your caffeine breath.
I take coffee during crucial time only...

You are surprised when you see an art piece in your school.
No comment.

You think everything is possible.
Ya, when there is a will, there is a way.

But hours before submission, everything is impossible.
haha...

You've fallen asleep in the bathroom.
No just fallen asleep, i even fainted.

You've listened to all your CDs in less than 48 hours.
I get bored listening to the same music even though i've more than 2000 songs in my iTunes library.

Your laptop or pc never shuts down.
Ocassionally.

You're not seen in public.
No.

You lose your house keys for a week and you don't even notice.
No.

You've brushed your teeth and washed your hair in the faculty's bathroom.
I tried this before, but i don't like to do this.

You take notes and leave messages with a rapidograph and expensive colour markers
No.

You combine breakfast, lunch and dinner into one single meal.
I wish i can do this so that i can become slimmer, haha... Not applicable to me.

You see holidays only as extra sleeping time or time to redo your work.
Yeah!

You've got more photographs of references ie drains, roof structures, windows, than of actual people.
I do have these photos but i will delete them after each semester.

You can live without human contact, food or daylight, but if you can't print it's chaos.
Absolutely!

When you're being shown pictures of a trip, you ask about the human scale, the lighting, taken the camera model bla bla bla.
Ya, part of the topic.

You can use Photoshop, Illustrator and make a web page, but you don't know how to use Excel.
Luckily i know some basic skills in Excel.

You refer to great designers (dead or alive) by their first name as if you knew them(Frank, Corbu,Mies, Norman).
In full name, i call them.

You buy 50 dollars worth of magazines that you haven't read yet.
No.

Your romantic interest/boyfriend/girlfriend does not mean anything to you whilst in the studio.
I don't agree.

You can tell what time it is by the smell of your breath.
Oh no, disgusting!

You will forget what is the meaning of sleeping.
Sleeping is very important to me but sometimes i just don't have the chance to appreciate the real meaning of sleeping.

You can memorize pictures in a split second but it takes you days to memorize a paragraph.
I hate memorising things esp notes for exam. Graphic is the other way round.

You may even appear emotionally retarded when out of ideas.
I will try to control myself by not behaving explosively. So i make myself alone. I explored tasik kejut at 3am. I walked to Dewan Bestari and looked into the dewan kuliah through the window at 3am...

Sitting exams mean nothing to you. Studying is no longer a priority.
Haha... it depends. Some subjects are totally a waste of time.

Assignments and projects are more important than your life. Late submissions = DEAD.
Yeah

Going out is not just for fun anymore, but to observe and get ideas.
To observe and get ideas will be my excuse to go out for fun, hahaha...

You drag yourself back to hostel in flip flops, yesterday's shirt & with a sleep deprived expression while others make their way handsomely to morning lectures.
Haih, it is so true! I want to look smart too, but sometimes i'm jsut too tired for that.

You go for a shopping spree for paper, markers, model boards, glues, cutters, pc rams and printer inks.
Those things are always in my list.

When you go to a new place, you tend to stare at the roof for several minutes
Shit! I got this habit.

You don't care if people see you in your scruffiest torn shirt and pyjamas at school. But if there's a formal dinner, you'd be the one competing to look the best.
Formal, YES! Latter, YES!

You don't watch movies at the cinema. You watch them in a minimised window on your pc while you do 3D presentations (or CAD).
Nono, i will just do either one.

I'm what i eat... yummy!

2009-05-02T02:04:00.002+08:00

Tagged by Adian, here come my 10 most desirable food+drinks right now...

1. Mushroom soup (all time favourite)
2. McD Fillet-O-Fish (my McD treat is incomplete without it)
3. BR pistachio almond ice-cream (this is the one i remember)
4. Asam laksa (it is always in my list)
5. Nasi pulut with durian (omg... i miss it)
6. Self-made sandwich (i just ate)
7. Dark chocolate
8. Nasi tomato Pekan Langgar (in my hometown)
9. Milk tea with pearl
10. My mum cooked dishes (can't wait any longer to fly back home)

p/s: I'm going to tag...mmm... no idea, let it ends here la...

Final is here again...

2009-04-24T21:13:00.007+08:00

Huhoo! Final exam of fourth year sem two is here now. Time really passes too fast. And it waits for no man. Design project submission is approaching, being delayed, then around the corner and then being delayed again. Finally, the mandatory date is 8th May. That means I have 6 days only to complete my design. Somemore i've got an exam paper to sit on 6th May, 3 assignments to to be done and one more presentation. Haih... what a life!

Studio life is back almost like what i experienced during 1st, 2nd and 3r year. But the new studio here, we have less number. Really miss those days that we are having fun in the old studio. We did crazy stuff like 'paralympic badminton'. It is a game where you play badminton by moving around with a wheel chair which is controlled by your team mate. We even partitioned the court by using a big piece of fabric, since we done have badminton net. Wuahaha... can you imagine that?

Oh ya, i suddenly have the urge to write this entry because of the big demand of my blog followers out there(oh...! yea ke?) Actually, i did write a few entry during April but i didn't post it here. I just keep it to myself. Hehe...

Back to the reality.... Highrise is no play play man! Some more it's a mix-used building of office tower plus retail podium. Really hate the podium!!! wtf! It really complicates things here. Maybe i've already immune to all these. Four years in architecture really changed me a lot. Right now, i just don't have the feeling towards it. My passion during first year has been long lost. Why am i end up in this situation??? I remember i was so stubborn that i must figure out a nice design concept before i can kick start with the detail design. I believe in 'design without concept is nothing'. But now, no more! I'm tired (and lazy) . As long as i can come out with something, then is fine. the design would be something that flows out during the designing process (or maybe after it, mmm... better not, hehe).

I wish i can go through this final smooth and safely... Good luck to those having final exam now, peace .\\//.

2 New Friends

2009-04-02T02:25:00.005+08:00

Recently, i got to know 2 new friends in the net, a gal and a guy. From first impression, both of them are nice and friendly. We shared a lot of thoughts. Maybe they are new to me, that is why i'm not afraid to share with them. We had a few times of long chats.
Guy: Do you have a dream? What is your dream?
This question really puzzled me, i don't know how to answer... Maybe i'm still looking for my dream.

曾经有一个朋友告诉我，每个人都是自私的，没有所谓的朋友不朋友，什么纯真的友谊。他还笑我傻，要我现实一点。还说这就是现实的社会，要学会去生存。我听了之后，很不服气。难道这世界上没有真心的朋友吗？

大学第四年了，我还在为了我不该烦的东西苦恼。如果可以省略掉这些烦人的东西，我想我可以把时间花在课业上，更努力的去搞好我的功课。但认真想一想，人是有感情的动物，而我却是吧朋友关系看得很重的人，想不为了朋友而烦恼，是不肯能的。

“ 改变不了的，就要尝试去接受；若还是接受不了的话，就只好放弃了”。感情的事不能勉强，勉强不会有幸福。做朋友也是一样。经历了一些不愉快的事情后，我才深深地体会到，为什么我的好朋友，可以跟我那么好。那是因为，我们彼此都可以接受对方，we accept each other as what we are! 这点很重要。

我总是不明白，为什么越是认识一个人，你不是越来越喜欢他，就是讨厌他。四年了，四年的时间，不是说，“放了”，就可以“忘了”。每个人心中，都有属于自己的那一股自尊与傲慢。自尊是个人面子的最底线，而傲慢却是为了不服输而争取的面子。要放下身段，个人原则，而去接受另一个人，需要很大的勇气与努力。不是说要接受，就办得到。一旦豁出去了，才知道办不到，那有多伤啊！也许是因为我们没有缘分吧。就像宇珩在《依然是朋友》里唱的那一句：“多希望我们不曾相识过”。

心倦了，泪干了。可以做的，都做完了。不想做的，也做过了。真的很累，很累。。。

The magic of candle!

2009-03-08T15:16:00.002+08:00

Today, i have learnt something precious. Yes, very precious, useful and meaningful. I never know i can practice my breathing technique using 4 lighted candles. Thanks to Arif for giving such a wonderful singing lesson. He actually showed my a series of vocal practices that really opened my eyes.
Well, learning it is not very hard but the problem is to master it is not easy. I have to put more efforts in it. Hopefully, within these 2 weeks time, i can come up with something better than what i am able to do now! So, practice, practice and practice! practice makes perfect!

In the middle of 4th year 2nd Sem

2009-02-23T10:35:00.003+08:00

It's week no. 8 now for my 4th year 2nd semester. There are 6 weeks remaining before the final exam comes. Life is getting busier, but luckily, there is always a space for me to breath.
Life is still moving on no matter how hard you are facing now. Be positive, be prepared and be courageous!

Pantai Timur 2009 - Kelantan

2009-02-08T00:54:00.008+08:00

Yoh! One of my resolutions in 2009 is to visit the only state that i've never been -- Kelantan. Thanks to Zaid, i did it now! Huhu... ^。^
2 day 2 night stay in Kelantan was a different but memorable experience for me. Fadhil and I visited Zaid in Gertak Kepuchu (Adian corrected me the name) and had a 2-night stay there. There i got the chance to see the bungalow that houses 13 siblings and their parents. Haha... his family members were friendly and sporting, esp. Zaid's mum. I would talked more if i can understand and speak BM with Kelantan slang.
All the while, i got to know about Kelantan from books and other people's mouths. Now i got the chance to experience the lifestyle and cultures here. To be honest, i was quite surprising to see what they have in Kelantan, esp. Kota Bharu. It is a quite up-to-date city actually. It is comparable with my hometown. The sign boards with Jawi is unique! You can't find it in other places of Malaysia. The people are friendly, even though there are only a few of Chinese here. The food are delicious! I tried their 'sweet into heart' kuih-muih (i can say all the kuih are sweet!), but i really cannot eat Tapai, i don't like it. There, i tried sup belut for the first time and it was yummy!
The Chinese there speak good Kelantan BM. They are no different from Chinese from other states. Zaid brought me to a few worship places of Chinese community there. I was amazed by what they have there. Tallest and longest Buddha statues are in Kelantan! The number of Wat and Tokong are more than that in Kedah. We enjoyed taking pictures there. And more luckily, i got the chance to visit old traditional Chinise house with is more than 100 years old!
Not to mention the historical sites in Kota Bahru. The old istana, muzium and other buildings are now places of interest for tourists. Besides, there are beautiful beaches for you to kill your time under the sun light. We went there to enjoy the sea breeze and have seafood.
Pasar malam is another must visit place in Kelantan. Different spots of pasar malam area located around Kota Bharu. The biggest one in... Wakaf Che Yeh (the name is corrected by Fara-D). It is huge and it operates late into midnight.
Well, it was really an eye-opening journey for me in Kelantan. I can see the people there live a simple life but the are happy. 2 days there was not enough! I'm sure there are more for me to explore. I know that there will a second visit in the future.

Happy Chinese ‘牛(new)’ Year

2009-01-30T01:15:00.004+08:00

Balik Kampung
My CNY adventure started with the my balik kampung journey on 24th Jan. 4 persons, 1 red car, 1 pit stop, 8 hours journey, with endless times of jam. It was absolutely tiring!

CNY Eve
There is nothing more happier than having a reunion dinner with your family members. Mum's cooking is always the best! I had a lot of kuih raya.

1st and 2nd day of CNY
I spent most of my time visiting my relatives in these two days and of course, i earned lots of Ang Pow. Hehe...

3rd day of CNY
I woke up early to go out for tim-sum breakfast with my old friends. In the noon, i gather with another groups of friends. It's like a old classmate gathering. It was fun as i got to meet my long-time-no-see friends. They changed a lot and most of them have gained weight...opps!

“新年了，也已二甸了，今年是我的关键，是否能达到我想要的始端，继续我的漫漫长路？我殷切冀望新的一年里，梦想能有新的突破，全然抹掉含糊。顺道，我在这里向大家送上几句祝贺，祝大家新年快乐，梦想成真，展翅高飞。。。”

p/s: The conclusion is extracted from 新年随笔 without prior notification, haha... :D

开学以来，今天上课最开心！

2009-01-19T23:18:00.002+08:00

自开学以来，今天上课最开心，虽然也是最累的。
“正常”的生活又回来了，现在的我已超过36小时没睡了。
昨天晚上，我和ex-housemates们一起聚餐。Thanks to Kah Heng, 昨晚他请客！晚餐后回到家，我就不睡觉，忙着赶完今天要交和present的功课。做到四点早上，我还得赶去Zaaba见我的groupmate,讨论功课。六点早上，我又回到hentian kajang家里，再继续赶功课。。。
七点。。。八点。。。九点。。。十点早上，终于干完了！
在完全没有机会休息的情况直下，我就马上准备洗脸，冲凉，换衣然后赶回学校去准备presentation. 哇。。。好累！由于没有精神，所以present的一团糟！Presentation board 也有错误！haih。。。我present后，就开始休息了。结果朋友在present，我在打瞌睡 zzz。。。
Finally, all the groups finish their presentation. I thought we can go back de, but the lecturer starts to give comments about our works. Then, he started to talk more and more. He questioned everyone about our condition now. He asked if anyone of us having any problems on study. Later, he started to share his experience during school and work.
To be frank, this is the first time he is so caring to us. Suddenly i feel the studio is filled with loves(有点夸张啦，哈哈！). But i'm happy. I'm happy to see all these. This is the way a good studio should be, i feel gratified. I'm exhausted, but i'm :)

I'm back!

2009-01-04T01:03:00.007+08:00

One month time from my last post, no entry at all in December, cos i was abducted by alien missing for 1 month. No internet access to the Earth from not known planet. But, it was very relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. Hahaha... it's not true, just joking with you. Hahaha... okok, i know it is not funny at all.

So what did i do in Dec? In short, i went home for 4 days after the accreditation program in the early Dec, then i joined Singapore academic trip for 1 week, i visited my aunty in kahang after the trip, then i returned home and stayed there for about 3 weeks.

Accreditation program
The result is not important. What's important is the process. I enjoyed working with my old coursemates and the cendol... yum yum. It was a fun gathering to all the kaki-arkis.

4 days in hometown
I attended my cousin's wedding ceremony. He is my father's sister's son. I used to stay with him when i was in my kindergarten age.
I was busy preparing for Singapore trip. I contacted my cousin in Singapore, she invited me to stay at her place. Good! Save cost on accommodation, hehe...

1 week in Singapore
There were troubles regarding the preparation this trip. I thought of not going at first, but... Whatever, i had joined it. Fortunately, it turned out to be a good one, i think. We went to 3 university campuses, 2 architect firms and a government authority. It was an eye-opening trip. It really opened my eyes to what Singapore is nowadays. However, we didn't get much info on highrise...
A big big 'Thanks' to my cousin. She helped me a lot in Singapore, not to mention the meals that she belanja, hehe...

2 days in Kahang
Every year, i will visit my aunty in Kahang, Johor at least once. This year is no exception. Kahang got changed a little already. Faces that i recognise become fewer. New buildings are erected.

3 weeks in hometown
In 3 and a half years of my university life, i have never been that relaxing at home. 3 weeks time at home is a long holiday. Busy life in uni and activities during holidays had kept me away from home most of the time.
Well, what i did at home is eat well, sleep well and play well. I visited my relatives and friends. Gathering with old friends is one of the best way to kill free time. I found that the topics of conversation during the gathering have changed a lot, compared to what during secondary school. Most of the time, we were talking relationship, money, traveling and of course, gossip is not going to be missed. I enjoyed sembang-sembang with them, it reminds me of my sweet moments in secondary school.
There is no other better moments than spending your time with your family. 3 weeks time is too short, i wish i can stay longer at home.

谢谢与对不起

2008-11-26T17:25:00.006+08:00

“谢谢”
不要轻易说出口
因为你所得到的
不是理所当然
最好的谢谢
就是珍惜你所得到的
才对得起帮你的人

“对不起”
更不应该轻易地说出口
做错了
就要承认
道歉了
就要负责任
最好的对不起
就是不要重蹈覆撤
才对得起被你伤害的人

如果他不像原来的他

2008-11-23T23:14:00.001+08:00

许多人咬牙切齿地骂自己最要好的朋友，说他自私，小器，不可理喻。
你们是不是应该想想，你不欣赏他的地方，很可能正是他的可爱之处？
当妳们从正面，体谅的角度去看，就会发觉，即使他错了，也错得可怜，可爱。

～什么叫作朋友？～
对你百依百顺，不指责你的错误，也不表现他自己个性的，才是朋友吗？
抑或他有他的品味，见解，能丰富你的视野，能提出与你不同看法的，更能做个益友？
每次当你看不惯朋友的时候，都请退一步，静下来想想：
如果他真不再那样，还像不像原来的他。如果他不像原来的他，是不是也就不可爱了！

我失眠了。。。

2008-11-18T06:29:00.002+08:00

唉。。。我失眠了。
好久都没有失眠，
久到最后一次失眠是何时，我都忘了。

都怪我在mamak挡喝了那杯teh ais。
一定是他让我无法入眠。。。

床上，我翻来覆去，辗转难眠。
就算我怎么把眼睛闭上，就是睡不着。
脑袋里总是想着东西，有的没的，胡思乱想。

是不是最近都过得太好了、太轻松，才会睡不着？

我想了好多东西。
想的时候，很想马上把它记录下来，担忧懒得起床动笔。
现在想要写出来，却记不起来了。
很无聊吧？

。。。

唉。。。我失眠了。好久没有失眠了。我终于失眠了。

Internal Review - the end or the beginning of nightmare...

2008-11-01T23:28:00.005+08:00

29th Oct 2008
.................................................
It's 3am in the morning now...
and i'm rendering my layout plan manually. Shit!!! I still haven't done my perspective drawings!!! After 5 days of crazy working, with a total effective sleeping time of less than 10 hours, i told myself:"i need to get it done no matter how!"
.................................................
It's 5am now...
Crap!!! I'm still struggling with the layout plan. What to do? What to do? I already gave all out. Time is just not enough for me. En. Ismar warned me yesterday during the final assessment. He warned me to completely the rendering of my layout plan and add in the perspective drawings. En. Mazlan said there are about 30% out of 12 of out failed in the assesment. The highest grade is A-(Beh? Fadhil? or Hoaysan? these are the names i caught in the bisikan), while the lowest is D!!! My instinct told me that i'm among the 30%. Haih...
.................................................
The inky-black window panels in my studio turn red, sun light begins to shine into the small studio where about 5 crazy fellows work like there is no day and night. It's 7am now!...
Huh!!! Finally i got my layout plan finish rendered! The bad news is, i didn't do any perspective drawings. Haih, sudahlah. I rushed back to my Hentian house to wash up and change for internal review at 9am. When i entred my house, OMG!!! Guan is giving his drawngs a final touch up. Superb manual rendering starltled me. After Speechless and terpaku for a few moment, i got back to my room and then head staright to the bathroom to wash up. On the way back to school, i stop by at double A to print some images of the site, kononnya nak tambah sedikat gambar kat dalam panel since i didn't do perspective drawings.
.................................................
8.30am...
(Hphone ringing.....) "Fast! Fast! Ask all of you come over to pin up NOW!" "Ok, ok! I know." Quickly, i put my 6 panels into the plastic folders and rushed the the main building.
After finish pin-up, i went for breakfast then to studio. I 'fainted' in the studio for a few hours...ZZZzzz...
.................................................
1pm...
When i woke up and went back to the main building, they were preparing to pin-down. "external review is extended!" i couldn't remember who told me as i was still really blur. I could see smiles on their faces. Some already start to sit back and relax and begin to 'speak bird language'.
25th Nov 2008 is the new date for external review. Now i have to upgrade and add whatever missing. 2 more panels as what i initially planned. i need to finish it before 25th.
.................................................
~THE END~

P/S: 'speak bird language' means talk nonsense, the content is funny but meaningless, like what our lecturers used to speak. opps!

Back to school after Raya break...

2008-10-04T00:01:00.004+08:00

(Sorry for not updating for quite some time de, haha...) ~_~"

After one week of Raya holidays at home, i'm back in UKM now!!! It was never easy for me to get back to UKM...

1 week of easy and breezy life at home, i always dream about it. No worry, no rush, no assignments and projects (temporarily put aside...hehe)...

All the while (since entring Uni), i just busy with my own stuffs... Slowly, i begin to ignore my friends at homwtown, i just realize it now. So sorry... But i never forget u guys. All i have to do now is to contact you guys regularly.

Things arround me seem to be moving fast. They grow fast, they age fast. They skip high, they fall deep. They come fast, they disappear fast. They produce fast, they lose fast. Everything fast, fast fast... I'm moving slowly, with my own pace.

Tomorrow is Monday! It's a design day. The tension is back! Stressed life is resumed after 1 week break. Haha, this is archi-life...

Happy Birthday 2008...

2008-08-21T01:09:00.005+08:00

Hey friends, I've never been that happy and relaxing for quite some time already, until the arriving of 20.08.2008. Today is such a wonderful and meaningful day for me. Projects and assignments fill our everyday lives. Sometimes, we forget about how to break the tense surface of our lives. Little surprise adds some spices to our lives, making our lives more relaxing and happening.
Today, I enjoyed my birthday with my studio mates. I'm glad that they planned surprises for me, that i've never expected. Thank you guys, it is indeed another unforgettable birthday in my life.
Here is a birthday video that my studiomates made for me during my 2006 birthday. This video really touched me. No matter what happens, friends forever...

Kuala Terengganu Trip 2008

2008-07-29T22:51:00.001+08:00

An end with a new beginning...

2008-07-27T15:17:00.001+08:00

It has been long since my last update. Sorry guys. I was busy actually, and couldn't find the right mood to write something here.

I just got my 3rd year 3rd sem result. This marks the end of my 3 years of architectural science study in UKM. I wasn't really (anticipate) the result. The result is no surprise as usual. I get what i've invested. Output is proportional to input, academically.

With a cgpa of 3.xx, i concluded my 1st degree with a verdict of B.

3 years time is damn so fast. It is a 3-minute song. 还没唱得过瘾，音乐就结束了。。。 I wanted so much to do more, to try more and to experience more. Nothing in this world is perfect. There is always a gap between success and effort. A gap for improvement, a gap for more hard work, a gap for new breakthrough.

This is an end that marks the new beginning. Time never wait, and life should should never stop. The result is not important. What matter most is the PROCESS, the journey that you are having now...

I'm moving out to another house...

2008-06-01T09:49:00.003+08:00

Today is 1st of June 2008. It marks the end of my 2-year university life in 11, 3/74, Seksyen 3. I will move to another house in Hentian Kajang.
All the while i kept on saying that i will move out by 20 something but i stay until end of May, haha... Because i,m reluctant to leave mah. Anyway, if i caused any inconvenience to you guys, esp Victor, sorry ya. I have to thank Victor also for lending his room to me. Thank Beh and Seann who has helped me a lot in sending my stuff to new house.
I only feel the reluctance today when i have to move out. 2 years time have been a rather ... mmm... how should i say. It was a rather peaceful experience for me. Nothing very big or sad thing happen but of course, there are some special thing happen that i won't forget for there rest of my life. For eg. the fainted in the toilet incidence and the celebration of my birthday with Munkeen (i won't forget the birthday because i have to suffer for 2 weeks and get injected for 2 times after i drunk the...hahaha).
In the new place, I will have TY, Guan and his brother(Ah Chang) as my housemates. It will be an all guy house. I hope we will live there happily for 2 years time there. Cheers!

突然间，我又很想写东西了。写心情，还是用话语比较好（因为我的英语是有限公司，词汇太少了，很难描写心情）
。。。。。。

最近我看来了一本书，《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》。我不懂讲评，但就是觉得故事很贴心，很温暖，让我会想起中学时期的我。让我觉得很想再过一次中学，再当中学生，在疯狂的或一次。。。哈哈，虽然这是不可能的了，但我还是很陶醉其中。
对完那本书后，我才发现，我真的好久都没在乡中学时候的东西了。可能是我变了。我变了不再那么念旧。以前的我总是会很念旧，放不开一过去的事和物。换个角度来看。我可能变得越来越看得开了：）
大学三年，我总觉得我看得还不够多。但我所体验与经历过的，真的让我变了。。。
。。。。。。
昨天我和朋友喝茶聊天。从十二点做到凌晨三点半，足足谈了三个小时半，真是痛快。我们谈了很多，讲了很多有的没的，也分享了不少秘密，哈哈。。。我们也提到男女朋友，但说的都是谁谁谁的男或女朋友，应我们自己都是大学三年，爱情交白卷。哈哈。。。也不懂好笑还是悲哀。
。。。。。。
又听朋友说和另一半分手了，而且还是最被看好的一对，真的让我大跌眼镜。Haih。。。对爱情越来越没有憧憬。
。。。。。。
有一个朋友，很好的一个朋友。我们有不同的生活原则，对事情的看法很多时候都不一样，有时候会因为一点小事而起争执。但还好事后大家都OK。我不懂我们的友好关系可以维持多久，但我真的不想失去这个朋友。。。

Measured Drawing 2008 - Pengerang, Kota Tinggi

2008-05-18T14:31:00.008+08:00

I think i do have 'jodoh' with the state of Johor. I've never been to Johor until i came into university. And this semester, the 2nd episode of my measured drawing project is still in Johor and this is my 10th visit to Johor already if i'm not mistaken. This time i went to Kampung Langkah Baik, Pengerang, Kota Tinggi in a group of 5ive. And the intersting part is, we got to stay at the house with another group of 5ive also. The house is not big but luckily is it still capable of housing 10en of us + the house owner, Pak Cik Jamel.
It was a nice experince to stay in a Malay house in a kampung. I really enjoyed it (for a few days is syiok la). Duduk bersila untuk manjamu di atas lantai, tidur di ruang tamu, pergi ke jamban... they were all new to me. Windy beaches, tall and swaying coconut trees, halaman rumah with pokok manga, pokok limau( yang buahnya hampir botak apabila kami balik), bunga-bunga, ayam-ayam and the cute anak ayam. Ayam berkokok pada waktu pagi...Uh uh uh uuuhhhh... For a long time already, i didn't hear that. It does bring me back to my childhood when a stay in Kampung Tanjung Musang... :)

CamPohGen aka Kimochi Trip 2008

2008-05-06T21:08:00.007+08:00

Yeah! We made it finally, we made it! 9+1 persons in 2 cars, from Bangi to Ipoh, 2 highlands we conquered, 3 caves we explored and lots of local delicacies we had tried. 4 days 3 nights of exciting travel, this is the satisfaction we had.

Talking about the preparation of this trip...Actually the preparation is not difficult. The hardest part is more towards persuading everyone to join. Luckily but a bit sad also because Seann and Yang couln't join us. I remembered i wrote about the frustration i faced during the process of preparation. I did angry with some of them also at first. But this time i really learned that 'if forced, no happiness' '勉强没有幸福'. 有些事情，真的勉强不来。勉强得来的，就没有幸福。I had high expectation on the trip. What do i expect? I wanted to make it the most memorable one for 11 of us. But right from the start, i already failed to achieve the full number of 11 persons.

Overall, the trip is still a good one. I did enjoy it. For the 1st time we go for a trip without assignments. Because this is not a course trip, we had no pressure at all. We can enjoy it the fullest. It was like the Sg Takala trip last semester, that was the most enjoyable one.

I knew very well that this trip might be our very last chance that we can travel in almost complete number of person. That is why i treasure it. Right from the first time that we discussed about final year trip, i already had the temptation to volunteer myself to organise it. Sorry friends, if i did something false, or say something rude during this trip. I already did what i can to make it a successful one. Oh ya, i got to thank you all also for the cooperation, esp Toong and our two driver, Beh and TY.

Like it or not, we already joined it, experienced it and PAID for it. Haha... May this memory of Kimochi Trip 2008 will last forever in our hearts...

Golf balls, pebbles, sand and coffee...

2008-04-28T00:39:00.002+08:00

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

'The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

'The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

'The sand is everything else--the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

'The same goes for life.

'If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children.

'Take time to get medical checkups.

'Take your partner out to dinner.

'Play another 18.

'There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.

'Set your priorities.

'The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.

'It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.'

2008-04-22T01:37:00.004+08:00

不知道为什么，最近写blog都只想写华文，可能只有母语才可以明确地表达我心里的感受吧。。。

经过一些事情，我发现我是一个很容易被‘起火的人’，但却不容易‘发火’，很忍得。所以很多事情都可以收着。等到有一天满了，就会爆炸。

我是一个太过在意别人感受的人。常常会太在意别人的看法，想太多而作出不必要的东西。最后，辛苦的还是自己。

Final trip? to go or not to go...

2008-04-17T10:29:00.005+08:00

After about 3 weeks of crazy and busy life, i can now enjoy a better normal life. Final review for my design projects has just passed. What a relief, finally.
Now what i have to worry about is not the upcoming exam, but the trip to Cameron Highlands. The trip that we have used to talk about since this early semester. Being the so-called 'organiser' of this trip, i'm disappointed with the response i received. Obviously, people are slowly pulling their hearts away from the trip. This is what i think is the saddest thing.
I'm sad when people told me that 'i'm not interested in the trip, i don't have the heart to join'
I'm sad when people told me that 'i wanted to go but i don't have money'
I'm sad when people told me that 'i don't this trip will be realised'
I'm sad when people told me that 'dunno leh, see 1st la, i'm not sure i can join or not'
Come on! Guys and gals. Don't you remembered that this final sem trip is what we always wanted to have. We were so happy talking about this topic since last semester. We had suggested this and that, so on and so forth...But finally, we do i received!
有时候觉得，何必那么辛苦？为什么要那么辛苦去pujuk你们join trip? 不去就不去啦?! 所什么大牌！我又不是欠你钱.
不过回想起来，办trip不就是为了让大家聚集在一起吗？平时到家都为了功课而忙碌，根本没有时间和大家好好相处。三年时间，一眨眼就过，震得太快了。办这个trip是为了让大家趁此机会，好好享受十一人在一起的时间。在没有压力，没有功课烦恼的情况下，大家好好玩一玩。我想说的是，不管这个trip是去哪里也好，办几天也好。。。最重要的是大家在一起！只要到家享受在一起的时间，去哪里都回开心的，就这么简单。
Take some time to really think about it, friends. Maybe you have nothing to lose, if u dont wan to join the trip. But i'm sure that there is something that you are going to miss...

Ang Kong Hu - 护身符 - Talisman

2008-03-22T15:43:00.004+08:00

This is the 'ang kong hu' that i brought onto the stage that day! Thank you my friends, it really works :)

When you are leaving...

2008-03-04T21:42:00.006+08:00

What are you going do when your the other half leaves you? Mmm...i really don't know. Haha... Actually this has something to do with the song '在你离开的时候' (When you are leaving) that i performed during NTLP 11. The song is about the feeling of a person when someone important in his life leaves him.
I was so lucky and happy to have a chance to perform the song on stage. It was a very special experience in my life. Music is my interest and singing is what i like to do. Thanks to NT, i got the chance to do it in Dectar.
I want to say Thank You to my friends who came to support me on that night. You all are so amazing and fabulous(esp. my coursemates, the JSB team consisting of Beh, Layming, Hoaysan, Seann for the jacket, Cway, AhToong, TienYee, Guan and CheeYang ). I can still remember the cheers and claps. The wonderful support that you gave is what i never expected. I actually can't hide my happiness on the stage when i knew that all of you are there to support me, even though the song is supposed to be sung with sad mood.
However, i have to admit that i was quite nervous during the performance. I wanted so much to sing it nicely but still there were mistakes. So sorry, i hope the performance was not disappointing. I already gave my best.
Overall, i was satisfy with the performance. And i have to thank the musicians for putting up a good show. Kelly(thanks for giving your patience to practice the song with me) and Mei Hui for keyboard. Jimmy the drummer. William for electronic guitar. Wu PHD for bass. The producer Yi Jie, the composer and lyric Jacson. Thank you all! I had really enjoyed practicing the song and learnt many new things. Oh ya, i want to thank Erfen(thanks for the tai feng), Andrew(thanks for the critical comments) and KaiTien(thanks for the confidence u gave me), they taught me lots techniques in singing and tai feng. And also Hui Xin, Cui Wen, YunXin and Christine(thanks for the song somone that we had been practicing together). They have been my good listeners. And also people who gave me comments during rehearsal. I hope i didn't miss anyone. Thanks to all of all u who supports me. I love u all!
Another important person that i have to mentioned is Ah Yung. To say thank you is just ain't enough! You were so grateful. I appreciate all you comments.
Thank you my dearest coursemates. You know, i really brought the 'ang kong hu' with me when i performed on stage. It really works for me. It gave me lots of courage and power!
Not forget are my old friends from secondary school and form 6. They are Shiuan, Ching, JitSin, MTheng, HooiSan, ChooiCheng, ChunKeat and .... Thanks for the endless support!
Huh! Suddenly i feel like i'm writing thank you speech for an award i won in a Music Festival. hahahaha.....
okla, till then. I got to stop here. I will add more when i remember what to write. Oh, ya! Picture update is coming soon.

Late update on CNY

2008-02-15T15:05:00.000+08:00

It has been long since my last update. Hehe...so paiseh, catch up now. Life now is so busy. Assignments, projects and lots of other tasks fill my life everyday. I'm quite happy because i live my life to fullness now, though it is very tiring sometimes. Overall, i'm still satisfy with it.

Talking about CNY... Huh! CNY holiday was a rush one for me. I came back to school on 4th CNY. It's pityful right? I didn't spend enough time with my family and friends (Y_Y). But, I was happy that i managed to gather around with my St. Michael and Keat Hwa old friends. That was the happiest moments during CNY. And the warmest moment, of course the time i spent with my family. Back to school, oh!!! It's OMG!!! Lots of unfinished works to be done. I was so reluctunt to come back to school. Highway traffic on 4th CNY was a Fxxk! Heavy traffic and jams all the way to KL. It took me about 9 hour to reach UKM from Alor Star. Oh, shit! No next time, please. I come back on 4th CNY becouse i have a damn shit stupid submission on 5th CNY. If not, i will sure won't come back here.

No matter how reluctunt i was, i still had to go back to the reality. After a few days in UKM, i already switched my CNY mode to normal school day mode. Busy! Busy! Busy! That is what i keep complaining almost everyday...

A joyful day...

2008-01-30T19:12:00.000+08:00

Today is a joyful day for me. It started with singing K at Green Box, Cheras Selatan from yesterday night 9pm until today's 2am. Then, a thrilling trip to Sunway Lagoon.
Don't believe me? The horoscope in Friendster even said so...

Last words before i'm leaving for Penang...

2008-01-17T21:12:00.001+08:00

Hai! It is now 9.20pm. In another 1 hour time, i will be getting ready to depart from Kajang to Penang! Yuu... Hoo...!!! So, before i'm leaving to Penang, i would like to write something here(although i'm not sure that what i'm going to write, haha :D ).

This Penang trip will be my last academic trip during my 3 years course of Architectural Science in UKM. Time passes really really fast. We are now in final semester. But sadly, i still cannot figure out the best way to go after graduation. The road ahead is rather blurry. I'm still undeciding about my future.

Oh no! OMG! Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong(Mas badminton mens double) are trailing Denmark double 16-20 in the deciding game. Oh shit! They just lost the match. Oh, shit!!! So sad they lost the match in 19-21, 21-18, 16-20. Haih...no mood to write liao...

Okla, introduce you guys a good badminton website. You can watch live score of world class badminton tournaments here, esp teh Super Series.

Hai, guys and gals out there (actually, i doubted my blog has readers or not, haha...)! These few days was quite relaxing. Thursday was a public holiday, so i have thurs, fri, sat and sun, 4 holidays in a row. I've submitted my 1st design project on Mon and my topical study proposal on Wed. So, after the submission on Wed, everyone start to relax abit. Since we have 4 days off. Some of my coursemates decided to go home. Others...of course they start to think about activities in these few days. Again, those who already has bf or gf, they have their own activities. Who's left? Those who are single loh...Sometimes, quite boring also when alone in the house. The LCD screen has become my best friend already. I watch him from day to night, and he(or maybe she, hehe...) sees me from night to day. And i can't imagine my life without internet, i will get bored until die... X(

On Wed nite, i had my dinner with my coursemates. We went to eat western food at MamaMIYa, Sg. Chua. The Chicken Maryland was just OK. I give a pass la. After the dinner, we went shopping at Bintang Hypermart. The shopping trip was quite ....mm...how should describe it le??? It was not very excited, but not boring, quite fun actually. We chat a lot while we walked from depatment to department. We commented on what we saw. We exchanged opinions. We even shared tips on recipe. Hehe...

Thursday, i spent most of my time at home, with my Darling. Online, chatting, surfing net, downloading, searching info....Oh, suddenly 1 am already, then i went to bed. So easy, one day just passed like that.

Then, how about today? I went to repair my motobike in the morning after sending my housemate to KTM station. OMG! The studpid motobike cost me RM 150 again. I have to leave it in the workshop for one day. Then in the evening, i went to sing K with a group of friends. RM 6 ++ for 4 hours. Huh! You can sing until u run out of voice. Haha...

I have a question here. Why everytime we hang out with friends, there is one topic that we cannot avoid, that is about relationship, gf and bf? Why arr? There will sure be ppl who ask u about your status now. Sien...i already malas nak jawab soalan ni...eerrrrrk! One of my friend even told me that i'm still single because i don't know how to treasure my relationship that i used to have. What does it means harr? She didn't want to explain more on it. Huh! Forget it la.

Okla, till then, bye!

2 Souvenirs from Melacca...

2008-01-10T11:37:00.000+08:00

Thanks to (Beh+LChee) and (Seann) for the souvenirs ;)

Happy 2008!

Happy New Year! Happy 2008! Hope it is still not to late to write a new year post here. Haha...

Oh ya! Talk about new year, i went to countdown at Putrajaya this year. 1st Jan, it marks a new start in a new year, new hope, new resolution. This year, new year eve wasn't lonely for me. It was quite meaningful. I hang out with a group of friends. We went to Alamanda for a dinner. We ate western food. Then we had Baskin Robins ice-cream for our dessert. Haha...yum! yum! Finally we went to the dataran putrajaya for countdown.

'Popp...!' Fireworks display started. All of us stop chatting. The fireworks display is our main and only focus. It was so beautiful but it was short. Ya, good things in life are never long. We should appreciate them.

Suddenly, the friendship of 11 chinese coursemates crossed my mind. Oh, my friends, and yes, all of you are my FRIENDS. We are now in our final semester. From total strangers to a group of buddies that can travel together from Terengganu to Bandung, celebrate birthdays until all of us get wet, play until we fight, be to close until conflicts appear, work hard until we don't sleep for days, sing k until we run out of voices, haha....there are so much to talk about. 3 years! Oh 3 years may be long, and it may be short. It is all depends on how you look at it, how you treasure it, and how you appreaciate it. No matter what had happenned in the past, the future is always there for you and me. Let's give our very best in this final semester. 'Defeating the rest, you are still not the best. You are teh best, when you beat the past.'

Cheers! Friendship forever.......

What i did in the last 2 weeks...

2007-12-23T13:37:00.000+08:00

Hi, gals and guys. It has been a while since my last update. Today is 30th Dec 20007, so i think this would be my last post this year.
After coming back from Sg. Tiram, Johor, i stayed in Bangi and waited for the school to reopen on 31th Dec. 2 weeks in Bangi was quite boring especially after the submission of the project of measured drawing. I didn't go to much places during this 2 weeks.
During 'Dong Zhi', i went to Seann's house with Beh. We had a delicious lunch treat in his house in Kepong and of course we ate 'Tang Yuan' too. On that day, we got the chance to meet almost all of his family members. We went to One U after that just for window shopping. At night, we ate Dim Sum at Kepong. Thanks, Seann. It was a great day.
My music workshop camp started on 23th, i joined the camp with Ah Yung. We made a lot of new and nice friends at the camp. Unfortunately, due to some technical errors, a lot of programme is delayed. However we managed to have a visit to a recording studio in Bandar tasik Selatan. Wow! the studio really opened my eyes. I learned a lot of new things at the studio. One of my friend even got the chance to have a try to record a song. So bad that i had a bad flu on that day. If not, i wanted to try too, hahaha...All in all, the music camp was a satisfactory one, i am looking forward to participating more activities from the music workshop in future.
By the way, during this 2 weeks, i managed to watch 2 movies, i.e. I'm Legend and National Treasure 2. Both are equally good but personally, i would say I'm Legend outwits NT2.
Oh, one more thing! About the result of my last semester. Haih...it was a sad story. CGPA below 3 all because of one subject, i.e. Design Studio. Really really can't accept it at first. But after i analyze it carefully, i think ... the main problem is still me, myself. I can't blame others for that. All i can do now is to work even harder for my coming last semester.
Finally, welcome back to school my friends. I hope that we will have a wonderful sem ahead.

Happy 2008 and Peace!

Merry Christmas!

戴佩妮就是不爽你叫他戴佩妮!!!

2007-12-19T11:30:00.000+08:00

沉澱了400多個日子的創作才女Penny戴佩妮，從12月17日開始，將在目前已擁有22萬付費會員支持的ezPeer+ 線上音樂網站，以定期、連續的單曲發行跟歌迷們見面。

與以往不同的是，大家不能在傳統的唱片行裡先找到Penny的CD了。這一年多來，Penny曾經因為唱片市場盜版的問題，身邊的朋友有人因此放棄了創作的熱情，而Penny也曾有過打算退出歌壇，回馬來西亞經營音樂咖啡廳的感觸！可是一路上跟著Penny一起成長，給Penny最大支持的歌迷們，是他唯一放不下的，由於Penny跟歌迷的聯繫與溝通、維繫感情，大都是透過網路，而歌迷們除了蒐藏Penny的實體專輯之外，也經常利用網路數位音樂來聽 Penny的歌，因此，經過了一年的沉澱與思考後，Penny決定重新思考自己的可能，希望將自己的音樂，透過數位網路的無限延伸來跟歌迷分享。

於是這首經過一年後，全新推出的數位單曲首波主打-[ 吹嗶嗶 ]，戴佩妮將呈現不同與以往風貌，讓你知道她為什麼不爽你叫他戴佩妮！

戴佩妮不是只有戴佩妮!!!

上張專輯高歌[擇偶條件]的Penny，現在居然同時擁有四個男人!!!???是的!!!Penny這一次的"獻聲”，身邊多了四個男人，分別是中岳.君豪.奧迪.謙謙，Penny的全新數位單曲首波主打-[ 吹嗶嗶 ]，除了全新形象的過動Penny、搖滾詼諧風格的單曲，也結合了這四個瘋子，以全新樂團型態出現。Penny之前聲帶充血受傷，心疼他的歌迷都以為他是為了錄製新單曲而過度操勞自己的嗓子，其實，根據Penny私底下獨家爆料，聲帶受傷，是練團時，大家都太搞笑，讓向來堅持笑就要笑到嘶吼的Penny笑到無法控制，聲帶還當場受了傷，弄到被醫生禁止3個星期不能開嗓說話；那段期間，可憐每天脖子上綁了一個小筆記本代替講話的Penny，因為這次事件，也幫自己跟這個樂團取了名字--- 「低能團」D-Power，所以請大家趕快保養好自己的聲帶，準備跟Penny一起吹嗶嗶，吹到搔聲吧!!!

戴佩妮就不只是戴佩妮!!!

沉澱、思考、創作、唱歌，身為好奇寶寶一號的Penny，這些年來，也接觸並愛上了很多跟音樂相關的事物，從音樂錄影帶的製作，從完全不懂任何攝影器材、影像處理、畫面剪接，憑著對音樂的熱愛和一種對於影像結合音樂的感動，Penny慢慢地摸索，向各大導演請益，還匿名上網和喜愛攝影、影像的同好討論，甚至報名了影像處理軟體的課程，Penny說全班只有他一個女生，好像花木蘭的感覺，到現在，Penny已經有能力著手自己拍攝、剪接、後製自己的音樂錄影帶，儼然已經成為一個小音樂影像達人，Penny說，音樂搭配上了影像，能夠將當初創作一首歌的初衷，更清楚地傳達深入每一個聽見、看見他作品的人心中，透過網路，不論何時何地，喜歡Penny音樂的每個朋友，都可以隨時聆聽.看到他用音樂表達最真實的心情。

戴佩妮就是要你重新認識戴佩妮!!!

想認識不一樣的Penny嗎？，趕快搶先到ezPeer+ 網站 http://www.ezpeer.com收聽喔。

One day trip to Sg. Takala, Semenyih

2007-11-14T00:59:00.000+08:00

Having about 7 days break before the remaining last exam paper, the exam mode seems to have no effect for us to go and have fun. What's more, we have a concrete reason to celebrate, that is TY's birthday.
2 days before his birthday, we started to think of how to celebrate his birthday. Sing K? mmm...we have done it several times already, NONO! Gather around and have a good dinner....Nono!
Suddenly AhGuan came up with an interesting idea. He said, 'Why don't we go for a place with is more to nature?' Good idea!!!
Ah Yung couldn't agree with him more. After morning jogging, he drove me, Guan and HSan to the Sg. Takala in Semenyih. We went there to do 'Site analysis and inspection'. We then went to another waterfall nearby, Gabai Waterfall. Both are equally good but finally we chose Sg. Takala because it is larger and suitable for activity like BBQ.
After deciding the location, we kept the fever on by planning for the activities there. BBQ! We bought the food. We contact other friends.
On that day, 14 of us went to Sg. Takala in 3 cars. The first thing that welcome us was the crowds. Oh shit! Today is public holiday. No wonder so many people here! Even more shit is that we have to pay RM 1 each for the entrance fee.
Then came the exercise part. To get a sheltered place, we have to walk far into the forest. It tooks us about 15 min to walk in there. OMG, i was super hungry and thirsty by the time i reach the shelter .
Firstly, we sing birthday song for the birthday boys of November. Then we fed on cake to fill our empty stomach. That piece of cake was so delicious because i was very very hungry. What's then? Of course we jump into the river! Some insisted to stay in the shelter. So they take the responsibility to BBQ the food. Hahaha!
Play water
BBQ
Chit-chatting
Having fun
Yes! It was really full of fun!
By the time we were getting ready to pack up, OMG, the rain came. We walked in the heavy rain out of the jungle. Then went home with our wet attires. It was really a memorable and WET journey.

Finally, it comes to an end...

2007-10-24T02:33:00.000+08:00

After weeks of busy life, here comes the end of it...Final Review!!! This semester, the same thing happened again. I produced the same incomplete work for the review. Incomplete model with presentation boards that i produced in rush. Again, i risk myself for the passing line. Oh, what my result will be?
I've already done what i can and this is what i'm capable of. Nothing much i can do now. Let's just wait and see what the result will be.
After this, the final exam comes. So, before grearing up for the exam, i gotta let my hair down for a while. Then, i would continue with my exam preparation. Exam oh exam! Jiayou Jiayou!!!

Final's Fever

2007-10-01T00:56:00.000+08:00

Oh, no! Oh, no! Final project submission is just around the corner. Just like past semesters, this the period of Final's Fever. Everyone will compete with not their studiomates but TIME in order finish the final project in time. Studio is the place that never sleep. We, archi students like to do our works here, although some prefer to hide in their rooms, doing their works secretly and produce surprises during presentation.
Final approaching means i'm going to spend most of my time in the studio. In the studio, i work, play, eat, chat, online and sleep. Everyday, i meet the same faces. Everyday, i do drawings. AutoCAD is the one i spend my time most with. Wake up, go to studio. Eat when i'm hungry then sleep when i'm tired. My life now is a routine. Haihhh..sien...
Actually, i'm pretty worry with my design this semester. I'm NOT expecting anything with flying colours. ALL I WANT IS TO PASS THE DESIGN!!! Go, go, go! Right the wrongs and work for it! Gambateh to myself.

Just want to shout out...

2007-09-27T00:54:00.000+08:00

Sorry fans out there (if any, hahaha) for not updating my blog since don't know when already. I was so busy with my design project and big big small small assignments. Sleepless nights, sitting in front of the monitor, backpain, panda eyes, not taking bath for more than 12 hrs(ops!)...are very common for architecture students.
Haih...for 5 semesters already, i've been going through this kind of lifestyle. From fear to normal, from phobia to routine, i found that i've already got used to it. I found it uneasy when i have nothing to busy with. I found it weird if i'm not going to studio.
I used to think back and evaluate what i've got from what i did in all these years. Of course i've learned and lost something. No pain, no gain! Success doesn't come without sacrifices. This is what i believe. At least, i'm still satisfy with what i'm doing now.
Sometimes, i may wonder why i end up being here. Sleep less than 4 hours a days just to squeeze my brain juice(jiao jin nao zhi) to come out with one design and end up the design being criticize like Bull Shit! Oh, can you handle it?
Ahh...just forget it! Maybe i have to admit that design is not my toy. Haha...

Sorry for no update on Bandung Trip...

2007-08-24T18:13:00.000+08:00

I'm currently really busy with my design studio works. Housing masterplan is really a headache for me.
Sorry guys, no time to update my blog. I will 'fast fast' update it right after i submit the dxxx sxxx masterplan on next Thursday. Till then : P

Happy Birthday to ME...

2007-08-20T17:53:00.001+08:00

Today is my birthday! I wanted so much to tell the world that today is my birthday. So I chose to voice it out here.
This year's birthday is not much different than the past birthdays. The only distinguishable and undeniable fact is I'm now one year older.
Thank you guys for the lovely birthday greetings that you sent to me via sms, words, phone call or even silently in your heart. I really appreciate them. Thank you : )

Coming up NEXT...

2007-08-19T02:00:00.001+08:00

Watch out for my updates on Bandung & Jakarta Trip 2007...

An expensive LESSON.

2007-08-08T03:02:00.000+08:00

For ab 2 years, you have been with me. You follow me to wherever I go. You give me support and courage. You made me proud while standing in the crowd.
"i run, you run...i jump, you jump"
But now, you are gone. You left me without a trace. Now only, i realize how important you are to me. Sorry for not taking good care of you, sorry for leaving you in wind and sun, and sometime the rain. Sorry for all that. Well, all I hope now is you can get a good owner very soon, cause I know... you will never return...
