Lately

I had a belated birthday celebration with Loo and Chew(22/7). Went for steamboat. 30 over people were there. First ever birthday threesome! Thanks for the presents guys! I got a tshirt with "playboy trainee" printed on it, and a guitar tuner. :)

Birthday Trio: YenLoo 19th, Me 20th, Chew 18th!

I'm 20th! No more teenage years :/

Was wondering what on earth is this electronic device

I had finished my university application. Applied for both OU and MTU. Can't wait for the letter. Just hope that I can get into OU! Can't wait to be part of the Sooners, go to support their football and basketball team! And women soccer team as well. Maybe will travel down to Dallas, Texas during the weekend to watch the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) and FC Dallas (MLS)! It was not long ago only I found out that Dallas is in Texas. hahahaha. (because I was hoping to watch at least a game of NBA or MLS in US!)

I might as well support FC Dallas! And Mavericks for NBA. Because that would be the nearest state/city for me to travel. I always thought the NBA/MLS is available only in the Western and Eastern states but it seems to me that I can go and witness one of the greatest game on earth soon - NBA.

Actually I feel that OU is my first choice and it's where I want to be. I have this feeling that is gonna be my university! I'm so excited that I even check on the merchandise already! LOL.

The american football team jersey

The baseball team jersey

And I'll be taking only 1 subject next semester! 8 hours classes per week! I'm gonna have fun to the max! And study as well to score a good grade to put a good ending to my INTI COLLEGE life!

State of confusion?

I'm so confused. I don't know of what. I think a lot lately. Somehow I don't feel like growing up. Guess what they said about men is true. We never grow up. There's always this little boyhood-mind inside of us? Yea.

Being 20, I feel a little old. Life goes on. I don't want to think about working. Yet. What I'm trying to do now is to enjoy. Cherish your youth. Well, I'm no longer a youth. Cherish your younger times. LOL.

It's good to know that my guitar chords are still working good. Except for that F chords which I can never play somehow. Thanks to both of my guitars. SIgh. The strings are like freaking hard. BoonHan almost broke his fingers. LOL. We had a jamming session on Sunday afternoon. Played and sing like nobody's business. Hope we can find some time and join forces with Ryan and Chew. And we'll definitely sing M2M's pretty boy....

Starbucks

Here am I in Starbucks blogging again. Was supposed to study. Well, at least get my physics done in the noon. But my itchy hands and sleepy eyes allowed me to start surfing and blogging. Not a very good choice Mr Emmanuel!

Anyway I was kinda lazy to blog. Too many things happened in the past few days. I'll just summarize what happened then.

Mystical Illusion promo vid
First on the list would be the video. For those who didn't know, it was a very last minute work from Joshan, for Intiball. Of course I got the benefit which is getting a 50% discount of my ticket. Work for almost a day to finish up the whole video. We start from nothing and successfully made it a 5 minutes Intiball Promo vid. Fangkai was the one who did the opening "Magical/Illusion" part whereas I'll finish up the video with a "masquerade ball" setting.

Intiball 2009


Thinking of what to wear is not easy. I am very choosy and picky and always wanna look good on events. Even though I spent quite a big sum of money(unintentionally got myself 3 shirts) getting dressed up, but still, it is cheaper than those who got themselves a tux/blazer/suit. And overall, I feel very comfortable of what I wear. Because I like to be different than the others. (that's one of the reason why I'm not putting a black/white theme) :p

i need a full length mirror in my room lah

Looking for the vest everywhere in pyramid. Ended up getting in a so called "lala" shop. But I think it's not bad, looks classy, price cheap. And I'm not wearing for the nomination of best dressed or whatsoever, I wear for what I think I look the best. Need to clarify that first. But sadly BoonHan said I looked like a photographer. Damn.

first driver of the evening. waited for him almost 1 hour!

ladies looked pretty

yann looked pretty also

Speaking bout the event itself is rather sad. I missed the chance of taking pictures with lecturers, and, almost missed the chance of our video premiere. We were late. OR should I say we reached just in time? Also, the MC was annoying. I just can't stand his voice somehow. And the programs, sadly did not attract me much. I think most of us just paid that RM90 for photoshooting sessions with friends. LoL.

guys with vests

ryan with his luxurious suit

in case u don't know how a pimp looks like, see BoonHan.

i spotted her across!

Before she was crowned,

and after she was crowned! we voted u carissa!

Prom queen: Carissa Gan

Daryl's BumbleBee who got me home safely. hehehe


Got back home very late. The clock showed 4 a.m. when I wanted to sleep. Yes, I did not go clubbing, but to mamak for supper. Happy Birthday I said to myself. Zzz . . .

Birthday
18-07-2009 is the day where Man Utd played against Malaysia XI. I sold my ticket few days ago. I don't see the point of going there and waited a few hot hours and get flooded in the crowds. Once in a lifetime seeing them play in Malaysia for a cheap RM98? No thanks. My birthday worth more than that RM98.

Sad thing was that I don't get to celebrate with my friends. Wanted to have a dinner with them initially but somehow no one is free so we cancelled it. Promised myself to study at night but, it's just a say, action- none. Thanks to those who wished me earlier that Friday night. Those buggers sing me song in the ballroom itself. It's embarrassing though. Got a group hug and a kicked on my balls from BoonHan. THANK YOU VERY MUCH BUT I HAVE BALLS OF STEEL.

Speaking of birthday wishes, there's some very special and memorable one. Even though bunch of friends wished me in Facebook but I only remember those who say some things like:

"Happy Birthday! I'm the first to wish you!" -RyanYeo "Happy birthday bro! Don eat to much cake k. Later u must go gym everyday and 8 hours a day for 1 month. Haha." -Ben "Happy Bday bro.. To many more years of Fifa-ing! cheers B-)" -PaulIssac "... I send u a bday wish on 0718 0718pm.. All de bez 2 u.. N b happy owayz although u r getting old XD" -KaYee "Emma happy birthday! u old liao. XD haha.. this is a specal gift for u 'Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be terrified. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9' God Bless you!" -Lyn "Happy Birthday" -YannHuoy (at 11.5Xpm, the last to wish) Last but not least, a handmade card from girlfriend. Details cant be given out of course. hahaha.

I spent almost 10 hours with girlfriend. She woke me up from my sleep at 9a.m. We went to watch HarryPotter. The whole point of the movie is just Professor Snape saying,"I'm the half blood prince."

Went to YogurBerry and took some shots. And some in the car as well. She got home by 7ish. Spent the whole night for what I also cant remember. Online. Upload tons of pictures. That's all. Somebody asked me, "What are you doing online in your birthday night? You should out partying!" Well, what can I say. LOL.


Sometimes she's jealous that I spend too much time with friends. But I did give her the best day for both of us. We did not go out for quite some time. I enjoyed my birthday! It could have been better if there's some celebration with friends at night though. DAmn you, Man Utd. Malaysia Boleh!! Thank you Yahya for scoring 2 goals against ManUtd! hehehe.

Oh ya, before signing off, my present gifts were a watch from parents (few days earlier, was surprised to get it), and a shoebag(desperately in need for training shoes, thanks girlf!).

Work Hard!

I've been working hard lately. Not on studies but it's just some college project/event. I know how soon is my finals. But yet, this passion and attitude of myself getting at least something done or achieve something in college life just drive me all the way to work hard in these projects.

It's great to know that you are recognized for what you do at best. Like what I said in my older post, I think I'm still doing quite ok in video editing. So, when I'm given the opportunity to do it once again for a very important event - Intiball- I just somehow couldn't resist the temptation of dragging clips and audios in my windows!

It was a very last minute work asked to do. I was still considering whether I'm capable of doing it in short time. 3 days. Of course I couldn't do it myself. Which reminds me of how limited our capabilities are. I asked FangKai to help out and there it goes, I live a FangKai life for a day.

We stayed, we ate, we edited for a 7 hours long marathon, and we slept together. It was a hell hard work to do. Is it worth? I asked him. Well, let's just take it as an interest . And that we both actually helped out in Intiball.

Anyway Intiball is tommorow! Oh my. . . I just hope that our video clip doesn't screw up.

It is the feeling of self satisfaction that makes me want to do the video!

My philosophy results

I've been waiting for this results like forever. I studied 2 chapters (out of 4 chapters which were coming out). The test was still OK. I managed to finish it. And finally Mr Eric uploaded our marks( after 2 weeks?) but through an excel file. I downloaded the file and have a look.

There's only our ID and marks. And the first person on the list got 40. The whole page is just full of numbers. I don't even know what was the full marks. For a second, I thought I got 29. Because I saw "59" in the ID. I was stunned. For a moment. And only found out that it wasn't me. I checked properly, I got 38. I couldn't remember what's the total marks of the paper. All I know is that, "who else got higher than me?".

3 students scored 40; 1 scored 41. Our class has 46 students. And I realized that it's a total of 50 marks. It's not very good for me to get 38/50. But consider that I just studied 2 chapters, hehehehe :p

Anyway, it's still feel good. Because I'm in top 5. Kinda proud. So, I checked online for the ID in the "my classmates" section. As I expected, these 4 people are exactly those who scored high marks.

Today I was mumbling and complaining about how people like Kee, Kahxin and Khaivenn were studying. And I was having meeting. (A bit kiasuness). BoonHan said to me, "you're not competing with others. So what if you get A? Next time I earn a lot and drive nice cars and you get your A so what?"

True. As long as I did my best. I'm happy already. I learned that the the only reason behind getting highest mark is to show off. Well, kinda. When people ask you about your score, you can proudly to say that, "I got X". Isn't it?

Abilities

Even though sometimes there are things that I couldn't do it very well. (Just like sports, it seems like my dad never pass down his athletic genes to me. He was a basketball player for school team. He did long jump, and high jump. He played pool, and basketball with the Canadians years back then.)

BUT I'm more techno savvy than him. hahahaha. I still yet to discover what is my special genes. We creationist believe that humans are created for a purpose. I have a purpose but still yet to see it. There shall be signs and I hope that I could carry on and fulfill the destiny ahead.

One thing that I'm good at: Talking(I think so). Thanks to dad. IF any of you think that I talk too much sometimes(to a point where I could somehow get sore throat), then I have to tell you that my dad talks more than me. Yes, don't imagine that.

I never doubt myself. I never doubt how far I can go or how high I can fly because I believe in myself. The road ahead might be too blur for me but He who holds me will get me through. It's just by a simple child-like faith. I have some thoughts lately, "What if I never succeed in what I'm about to do? What if I am not capable of becoming an engineer?"

But these thoughts shouldn't be in my mind anymore. Thanks to my physics result. Damn. Why can't I just do good in both tests? I have this weird thing going on: To score lower in the 1st test; Score higher in the 2nd test. It's always like this since last semester. Guess what JayHong told me is true: not to worry, you sure score in 2nd test... LOL

PHY211: Test 1 (28/40) Test 2 (32.5/40)
PHY212: Test 1 (25/40) Test 2 (36.5/40)

And it's always one month before the finals that I'll feel more motivated to study. What happens to that 2 months back? I was enjoying. And still enjoying a little now.

Anyway, what this post is all about? I don't know. Abilities? Maybe. Try to think of this, what are you good at? What is your strength, and weakness? If you're yet to discover your strength, welcome and join me. hahahaha.

*edited*
When I was watching movie a moment ago, I thought of something. I think I'm good at editing videos. Becoming a movie director was once a dream but it's all down to hobby/interest now. It's great to know that Mr Jafni had confirmed with us: our video will be shown in the exhibition! Even though he says that it's not logic.

Our video is nonsense and not logic. We got some points there but mostly are jokes and dumb stuffs. I mean cool dumb stuffs. That's the whole point isn't it? To have fun. I had fun. My philosophy upon this issue of not logic video:

"To make a nonsense and not logic video is harder than a logic one. It's the same theory of getting 0 is actually harder than getting 100 in exams."

People that I known of scoring a flat 0: None
People that I known of scoring a flat 100: KuahKaYee

Statistic did show that getting 0 is harder. :)

I decided to

take a night off. Well, not really 100% off. Still got to study a few pages of Philosophy text before I sleep. Few moments ago, I was stuck in between the choices of whether taking a night off OR to study. Comments on Facebook suggested that I should instead get a rest.

Anyway, I was so damn excited. "Shocked" should be the word instead? I had my Physics test today. I know I must not screw up if not I'll be so screwed. Get what I mean? My target was to at least pass by getting a 20/40 (my last test was 25/40). Then, I really wanted to have something like 30 and above. So when I checked my result just now, Oh my G...

I got 36.5/40! Yes! No need to drop my Physics already. LOL. Was so excited. So high. So unbelievable!! Thank GOd!!! Somehow I just.. scored??

OK. Last week Kaka' signed for Real Madrid, he's worth £59 million. The stadium had 50,000 of fans chanting his name. He wore No.8


Today, Ronaldo officially signed for Real Madrid, he broke the world transfer record. He is worth £80 million. He attracted a crowd of 80,000. He wore No.9


Congratulations! You're the new million dollar man now!!!

So, what's new these days? We bunch of fools (and friends) decided to have a team jersey. For futsal, and for outing. We've chosen this black blue Nike for Boys shirts.

Boys and girls feel free to try it

Alright. Then we had a photoshooting session (last week) for the Inti Amazing Race: Trazzle II. It's coming soon! (This Friday)

Trazzle II

some fun shots

Then I had salad for my dinner. Got to keep on some diet. Some healthy food. Stomach is getting bigger, dad is getting angrier. :(


And I tried out this Nowitzki Basketball Jersey!! I liked it. But mum said no. hahahaha.

forgive me for my poor camwhore skills

it's been too long since i last took one

You know what's the feeling when you want to buy a new handphone? You don't know which brand to choose,or what model you like. So I quickly make up my mind before I change it. Just like how I got my camera. Now that's what I'm gonna do to get the laptop.

oh my red riding hood


i mean, red shining dude

Numbers

Have you watched LOST? Have you even heard about what was the story all about? For those that don't know well enough, it's about a plane crashed into an island where these people are fighting to survive. But, all of them are actually destined to be in that island. And somehow numbers just bring them together. There's this series of numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42.

Actually I don't know whether the numbers are part of the reasons they're being stuck there. LOL.


Anyway, I have this so-called special number 59 which appears in my life for the past few years? Not until I noticed it some time ago and came out with a thought that has a WOW effect on me. OK, let's us analyze this:
  • XXXXXXXX59XX my ID
  • JXXXXXX59 my INTI student ID
  • 59 is where I stay
Let's bring in one person, Fangkai:
  • We met at 5/5/2008. And so, we ended our very first college week at 9/5/2008(Friday). In the US date system, it is written in 5-9-2008. Saw that? 59
  • XXXXXXXXXX59, his ID
  • I choose no.5 for my jersey and coincidentally he chooses no.9 which together it's 59
It sounded gay. So, let's bring in Kahwei:
  • JXXXXXX62, his INTI ID
Together with my INTI ID, we produced FangKai!
  • XXXXXXXX6259, Fangkai's ID
It sounded so much more gay now. LOL. I see number 59 everywhere . . . . .

Now you know why 3 of us hang out so often:

When we were a little younger then... (year 2008)
