Neglect?

It's interesting to think that, up to a few months ago, I never thought I would blog. Well, I do now although not about many personal stuff but more about things that are happening/ have happened. =) Sorry to all those readers ( Only a few, i know :P) but I had been neglecting my blog for quite a while now. Why? As I said, I write about things that are happening or have happened and since my last post, nothing eventful has happened. =( Man.... I have no social life (For now at least =x). On another note, MID-TERMS and CLASS TESTS are so near that it scares me. Gotta get studying unless I want to fail of course xD

p/s. This is just a short post to keep my blog updated I guess xP

More to come soon. Byes

Mr Ng Guo Bao ( Sotong, Gopal, Sei ye)

This post is dedicated to one Mr. Ng Guo Bao who is leaving for the UK to continue his studies on the 22nd of September 2010, at 2am.

I met Bao in foundation during Calculus class. Through William I got to know Bao better especially since both of them had almost the same classes and I was spending quite alot of time with William ( I'm quite antisocial, i know) Over time, the friendship continued to grow and when MR SEI YE decided to take psychology, it made the friendship even stronger. Like in a previous post, there were 4 of us who were very close: Me, Bao, Sha, Wynn. And so, through up and down, thick and thin, the friendship between us has never wavered. I still remember Bao as being that fat dude (Rmember? xP) who became slim, but now a little bit fat again =x I'm still wondering how the sei ye name came about.. I remember the Gopal part though. xD

But regardless, Bao is and most likely always will be a good friend. A friend who will be there when you need him the most. Interesting that I have little to say. Oh well, it's been great to know you for the past 3 years, don't be a stranger, keep in touch xD And all the best in your studies in UK. (Btw, too many photos upload so I bo upload la. Go my facebook and see xP)

Fresh Meat

Today has been quite an enjoyable day for me although a little tiring. Was supposed to wake up by 11am in the morning to go out but guess what? I overslept .__. woke up instead at around 11.30am. Looked at my phone and I saw around 13 miss calls? 9 from Sotong and 4 from Whale. So I rushed to bathe and to get ready. Was supposed to meet them at Mid Valley at 12 but I was sure to be late. So out I went at around 11.40 and was nearby Mid Valley at around 12pm but was stuck behind a taxi that was driving at around 30km/h. I mean, seriously, who on earth drives at 30km/h on a main road much less a taxi?? On the plus side, saw an Audi R8 V10 coupe right infront of the taxi *drools*. Didn't manage to take a proper photo coz well, I was driving. Hahaha. Oh well, there's always next time :D

I reached the Garden's carpark at around 12.10 and made my way over to Mid Valley. [ For those who drive to MV, you should roughly know why I do this ;) ] Met both Sei ye's at Carl's Jr along with Kim (Whale's sister). So decided to eat Carl's Jr. and I don't know why. But I'm not complaining :P I decided to order a Large Set of Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger ( i think). Can't remember what the rest ate though. Hahaha =x
Fries :D
I forgot what this was.. Chilli cheese fries?
Mr Leo and Ms Kimberly
Sei ye Sotong =x
Lunch! :D

After lunch we went over to GSC to catch this:
PIRANHA!

But we didn't watch it in 3D though. Wondering how it would be like. Haha. Anyways, the movie was okay. Action scenes were cool. There was plenty of blood, however, recommended for 18 and above though due to excessive skin shown. Looking back though, it was a nice movie in terms of action but not in terms of the plot. (Isn't that always the case?) But then, doesn't matter coz I prefer this to Rom-Coms and all that. Haha. So if you're planning to watch, this movie I would say is worth the time unless you're faint of heart ;)

After the movie ended, Mr Leo and sis went off so it was left with me and Bao. Since it was still early, we went to MPH to look at books and all that for awhile. On the way to the car, we spotted New Zealand Natural so decided to try it out. Haha. For me it was the 2nd time trying it I think. It was okay i guess but a little bit expensive for my taste though. Not going back there tooo often =x Hahaha
Sei ye's Mango Passion and Chocolate something i think. =x
Rum & Raisin + Cookies and Cream =)
11.90 for 2 scoops @.@


After New Zealand Natural, we left and I dropped Mr Bao off at Bangsar LRT station and made my way home to SLEEP! :P

Ms Lau Ee Wynn

This post is especially dedicated to my friend, Lau Ee Wynn as she is leaving to the UK to continue her studies.

I met Ee Wynn during my foundation years. We weren't close, I was closer to Mr Bao and the gang ( meaning mostly the guys). Over time however, a friendship grew and there were four of us: Bao, Sha, Wynn, and Me. I don't really know what to say but I do know that I want to post this post to thank her for  being a very good friend over the years. The calm amidst the craziness of Sha, Bao, and occasionally, Me. Haha. But needless to say, she is a very nice person who is also a great friend. Although we initially didn't click till much later but thanks for being a friend. Keep in touch and let's meet up when you're back =) Includes Mr Bao and Ms Nana. =x Haha.

All the best to you in the UK that you will succeed in your life but not neglecting your social life ;)

And here are some pics looking back to the past: (Pics courtesy of Jian and Sha as well)


That's all for this post =)
p/s: Hope you enjoyed the gifts :D (Mr Bao urs is next =x )

We were Black.Burnt. and Quiet.( Yeah, right...)

At 6pm on the 4th of September, I was making my way to the back streets of Petaling Jaya searching for a particular house in Ara Damansara owned by one Lau family. In the car with me were my brother, Daniel Tan, and Ms.Nana Toh Li-Sha. After a few bumps here and there and almost getting lost twice (Well, at least i think it was twice), we finally found our way there. Why were we looking for that particular house you might ask? Well, on that day, Ee Wynn was hosting a farewell BBQ at her place so that was why we were going there. The next question you might ask (If you don't already know), is where is she going? And to answer that, I will say she's going to the UK to complete her studies along with Mr Sotong Gopal a/l Ng =x Different Uni though but still same country. Haha =)

So we finally reached Wynn's place at around 6.30. Was expecting to see Mr Bao there since he said he was gonna be there at 6.30 but he came at 7 instead. Oh well. While waiting, Sha and my bro sat in the living room playing Sha's Rubix I think while I went around snapping pics of whatever I found to be interesting.

The time finally came when everyone arrived, with the exception of Victoria (more on that later), and we could start eating!!!! Actually we could have eaten earlier but it's no fun eating alone is it? ;) 
We had plenty of food on our plates.. There was chicken wings, sausages, fried rice, fried vermicelli(Bihun), satay, chai kueh, and a few more that I can't remember. But the food was goood. =)

After a good time of talking and eating, it was time to cut the cake, or cakes, I should say. It was for Wynn and her bro, Carlson's birthday. Both of them were born in September (Not on the same date though). Who knew? Ok maybe people knew, but I didn't at least =x. Carlson's cake was made of green tea and red bean I think. I'm not really sure. Wynn's cake was a jelly cake in the shape of Winnie the Pooh! It's a running joke that since her name is so similar to the cartoon, we named her after it? Haha :D And so the cakes were cut and we had group pictures! Thank goodness I took my mini-tripod that day as it made it easier for me to take the group pic =) And after all that was over, Ms Victoria Yeong finally arrived. I don't exactly know why she was late, and to be frank, we sort of forgot about her =x

So in the end, after some more food and talk time, we started to head home. My brother and I reached home at around 12 midnight. By then I was feeling extremely tired so I went to bed and continued in my dream of chicken wings and food galore =)

That's all for this post. See you guys next time! p/s. There were too many photos to upload so I made a video instead. Hope you guys enjoy it. [I'm not very good at it so forgive me =( ] For more photos, do visit http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=573782453#!/album.php?aid=226124&id=573782453 (PM me if you are unable to view the pics yeah.)

Also, I have something I need your opinion on. I was planning to try to get the Nikon D3000 in the future. Anyone with any opinions on why I should/should not get it? I don't need features like Live View and Video, I have the G11 for that =)

Of cats, dogs, and pork burgers?

Today was a tiring day to say the least. Not cause I had lectures or what not for one whole day, but it's coz of lectures plus going out for a lunch and movie at Tropicana City Mall. On the plus side, I am a happy chap coz was able to spend time with 2 friends who are leaving soon =(

Woke up this morning to find out that there was minimal jam on the roads. ( Due to puasa? My guess that is) Reached college in like 15mins? Quite fast considering i normally reach in like 30+mins in the jam. =D Had the first lecture of the day, PSY 210 ( Conflict theories and resolution). The sub was taught by Prof Datin Dr Quek. It was freakishly boring... Not to say that she's not a good lecturer, on the contrary, she's quite good albeit a little long winded may I say? So class ended and we had to rush to PSY206 (Biopsychology) class in Block E KPD. (We meaning Sean, Sha, and Me). The first class was quite okay. Just a breeze through what we learnt in PSY111 in year one. The same lecturer who taught us biopsych then is teaching us now, Dr.Hera Lukman. Class ended wayyy earlier than expected at around 12.30?

Then me and Li-Sha made our way to meet Mr, Ng Guo Bao and Ms. Lau Ee Wynn at Tropicana City Mall. Before that I paid my fees and yada yada.. When we reached Trop Mall, little did we know that they have not arrived yet! *Gasp* Haha. Well, maybe coz we were i think very early? Around 1.20pm I guess. So we bought the movie tix and walked around. Finally ended up in Borders while waiting for those two.

At 2pm, they arrived and all 4 of us went to a place called Ninja Joe's for lunch. Its a non-halal place which sells pork burgers. Ee Wynn, Li-Sha, and Mr Bao each ordered 2 pork burgers. I have no idea what got into me as I decided to order 6 pork burgers .__.
And here are the pics:
Ms Toh and Mr Ng Ordering for us

Waiting for the food (Sei ye hungry d =x )

Yes, Me <3 Ninja Joe's xD
Our FOOD!!
I kinow u hungry la =x
My Lunch, 1 of everything :D
Lunch time =)

After lunch ended (2.45 or so i think), we headed to the cinemas to watch....

Cats and Dogs 2!
The movie was, at best, average or slightly above average. Maybe better to save the cash and watch at home?
But there were a few good lessons to be learnt i guess. =) I wont tell u here, you're gonna have to watch it yourself =P
Despite the movie not up to base, I had a wonderful time with my friends and an awesome lunch.

That's all for now, more later.

Cheers xD

Hey guys/girls,

After much deliberation, I have decided that I wont be blogging about my trip to Aussie land. Sorry :( It would take too much time to blog about it all. So if you wanna know about it, do visit my facebook or ask me in person =)
