The PEJ 707. Might not be a Cayman S, 7-series or C-class, but it's THE seven-oh-seven.
Has served me for about a year already? This thing redefines awesomeness.

Oh 707, I am truly sorry for mistreating you sometimes. You are a brother to me and my treatment of you is sometimes unacceptable.

Still, deep down, I LOVE YOU!

xoxo,
Ywen.

Thought of the day.

Where do you go when the paths ahead of you all end in a dead end and you don't really wanna go back to where you came from?

Doodly dude.

2009-03-29T00:48:00.003+08:00

So here now is a doodle by a friend.

He's good huh. I really like this one. His best one yet, in my humble opinion.

This is supposed to be me. Eventhough he made me look like a fat ugly freak, I'm still promoting him. Some people have the best friends you know.

And finally all of us!
L-R: Terrence, Yik Sean, me, Chong Yen, Monash boy, Kia, Nilai boy, Joel and Eiven.

Liked what you saw? Just drop a shout at this place and he might just doodle you! He can get better you know, if he has this.

New name.

2009-03-11T00:01:00.001+08:00

Please relink.

This place is now www.ywens.blogspot.com

Thanks.

Look what I found!

2009-02-13T23:28:00.004+08:00

3 Zamrud class of 2005! Found it at Razeen's. Awesome I tell you. Note that the ugly smiley face is there to cover up the face of an even uglier person. He's deemed to ugly to be on the internet. But he looks better now :D

Joel's birthday.

2009-01-07T21:04:00.006+08:00

Hello Eric!

Chocolate banana.

So now we know who Joel is having an affair with.

Chu Kuan, Joe Jin, Eiven, JOEL, EMC, Chong Yen, Terrence.

Marcus, Wen Ping, JOEL, Hui Mei, Boon Kit.

Here's a party, Mel.

Jason missing.

Joel and the cake, which eventually found a way to his face. High5 Terrence!

Gathering at Mel's before the party.

So...

I had Mel pester me almost every day leading up to the party starting from the day she started planning it, which is about end of November.

She wanted to ask Jason, Joel's brother about it before asking the parents.
"Should I ask the brother now? But it's like a month away worrr. Later he thinks I'm lame howwww?"

Less than a week away,
"It's nearingggggggg."

Hours to go,
"Should I wear a skirt or pants?"

Only when I said that she asked the wrong person and I would ask her to go in her pyjamas did she stop bugging me.

I also had to follow her in her car to E-Gate for the cake. She nearly forgot to depress the handbrake after taking the parking ticket so I had to do it for her.

So Joel, have an awesome birthday and be grateful I'm still alive.

2008

2008-12-31T23:04:00.005+08:00

Less than an hour till we see the end of it. This year had been pretty fun I have to say. New friends. New place to study. New classes. And a brand new job.

Let's see..

In January and February, I...

Entered IICP. Alone and innocent, I stepped ~~into the wrong class on the first day of college~~ for the first time into a college.
Joined some camp and got shot painfully in paintball. Should do it again sometimes.
Said goodbye to one Terrence Teh, who heartlessly left us in Penang for Subang Jaya.

March was the time when I...

Got my SPM results. Who likes EST anyways?
Attended JPA interview and wasted a whole day in USM. Not gonna get that scholarship anyway. I'm not short, I don't drive a Viva and my name's not Mou Jian.
Got into a whole lotta trouble with the IICP admin. Sorry!
Passes sem 1 QED xDDD

In April, I...

Made a pledge to save and failed miserably :(
Celebrated two birthdays, one with an old buddy and one with a new-found friend. Hoped you liked your presents xP
Interview in IICP for Star Edu Fund. I thought I did pretty badly. But I didn't :D

In May, I...

Saved RM18K :DDDDDDDDD
Celebrated Anelka's penalty miss.
Did my MS assignment and had quite a lot of fun in Fort Cornwallis. Who's afraid of heights?
Attended Wesak procession.
Celebrated Chu Kuan and Chu Han's birthdays. Chu Han says the darndest things LOL.

In June, I...

Saw ~~live action porn!~~ Mou Jian and his girl outside Jemputree xD Genius boy leaves for rural village to study on scholarship. Farewell!
Drove to AutoCity. Bye bye to Teo Chia Jung, aeronautical engineer-to-be. We miss you man! Bigot!

July was when I...

Joined a treasure hunt. We went on the whole hunt thinking that there is a cash prize of RM7000. Only when we didn't win did we realize that the main prize is RM1000 cash and other stuffs WORTH RM7000. Oh well. Had fun anyways.

In August, I...

Went to KL for the first of three times in 2008. Star Edu Fund Awards.

In September, I...

Turned 18 :)
Had a wet and super fun surprise party outside the IICP toilet on the 6th floor. Thanks again, guys!
Didn't get many presents. For those turning 19 soon *cough*Joel*cough*, don't get your hopes up xP
Attended prom. Very nearly won an iPod Shuffle.
Won a poll LOL.

In October, I...

Screamed my lungs out in HCC. POOM POOM CHAK!

In November, I...

Got my first ever job. And paycheck.
Saw my sister graduate. Hey, working person, where's my allowance?
Went to KL again. Second time. Also went to rural village where geniuses study and have midget parties.

In December, I...

Spent Christmas scooping ice cream.
Went to Genting and KL(again). This time with friends. Fun fun fun!
Got a Christmas present out of the blue haha. Thanks but I don't wear XL! :P

Have a great 2009 fellas.

2007.

2008-12-18T21:19:00.003+08:00

2007. That's last year. With 2008 coming to an end, I know it's very very late of me to be blogging about 2007 now. But I shall anyways. The year 2007 marked my last year in PFS. Was in 5 Amanah, with a whole bunch of nerds.

Let's talk about them teachers.

For BM, we had Cikgu Syed Sultan. Funny dude. Very steady. Not a bad teacher. One of the best BM teachers I've ever had in all my PFS years. The other good one would be the 3 Zamrud teacher, but I rather not talk about him/her. Cikgu Syed gives a hell lotta work especially when it comes to KOMSAS though. Overall, I'd give him a 7/10.

English, Madam Saw Eng Wah. Nice lady who also gives us a lot of work. Not that I really pay ~~any~~ much attention to her, or do any of her work. Another 7/10.

Maths. HAHAHAHA Mr Khor Boon Teik. Definitely one of the best teachers in PFS. Who can forget all the "You think you know, but actually you dunno," or "You think you take tuition you very smart la?". No matter how annoying this old geezer is, he's definitely one of my faves and ranks along Mr David(see below) as one of the few that I respect a lot. Mr Khor also gives us lots of work but the difference between his work and Madam Saw's is that I always try to complete his. Its PFS' loss when he retired early 2008. Perfect 10 for him. A round of applause, if you will!

The best Maths teacher in the world!

Add Maths. Mr David Ch'ng Yeang Soon. The grandmaster. The man who made Add Maths a fun experience. Can't help but to love him, can we? Despite what we heard from seniors that he's very nasty, he's actually a very very nice guy. I remember how he always forgets that his period is over and Pn Tan will wait outside our class every Friday waiting for him to end his class. Once, he finished class already and sat down to chat with us. And On Tan thought he was still teaching when he was actually telling us how a girl had fancied him when he was a student and how he caught students "going at it" at his previous school. 11/10 for Mr David.

Physics. Pn Rosmawati. SPM marker and everything, I expected her to be very good but somehow she never really made me understand whatever she's trying to teach. Boring and bad English. Nothing much about her. 5/10 because she fetched Jason Teo to the hospital when he injured his leg in PJ. What a noob.

Biology. Pn Oh Mei Lin. Real good teacher that knows her stuff. But Bio has never been my best subject. I always try to make up excuses for being late to her class coz it's one of the few that I really loathe. Sitting in the Bio Lab where it's really hot, listening to her ramble on and on about plants. Pn Oh seems to really enjoy giving me a lot of crosses instead of ticks in my exam papers. 6/10 for the Peugeot- driving lady.

Chemistry. Pn Ida Safura (if my memory serves me well). She's not the best, but she's not bad. Chemistry was my best Science subject but I don't think it has anything to do with her. I thank Mrs Viji instead. 6/10 to her for being the fun person that she is.

Sejarah. Pn Tan Bee Ling. Another one of the good ones that left PFS. She might be really boring and all but she's kinda nice. Nothing much to talk about her coz I rarely pay attention in class. 8/10 because i got A1 for Sejarah.

Moral. Pn Kupamal. Oh dear. Let's skip this.

EST. MR TAN ENG KHENG! The awesome-est, most steady class teacher ever. This man has a real sense of humour. Best remembered as Victor's dad and Angie's uncle. Though I got a B3 for EST, this man is another one of my faves. He even invited us to his house- warming when he moved. He also invited us to his house for CNY but we never went. Maybe next year, Sir. 9/10 for Eng Kheng.

Oh well that's it for the educationers. But that's not all from me this time. This post is not over yet.

I spent the whole year seated beside Dato Nicol David's second cousin and Francis Light's descendent. This annoying person is Eric Matthew Capel. We did lots of whacky things together last year. He gave me lots of news about what's going on in the Ed Board. I remember he loves Mika and Muse. And I injected MCR into him. Haha.

We labelled our fingers.

F5 will also be remembered as the year I went on two trips with the school. The first one would be to Sunway Uni in Subang. Went to support T'ng Choong, Eric and Xiang Wen for some Maths competition. Congrats to them for finishing 11th out of 12 teams. We beat Jit Sin, yo! Over there, me and Kia.. erm.. BROADENED OUR HORIZONS by making friends with MUFY (Monash University Foundation Year) students. We only did that to learn more about our options after SPM, aren't we, Kia? Oh well we had fun there.

Sunway.

The second one was to Shah Alam for ISM competition. Represented Northern Region after winning the northern region competition. Among the six teams there, we were the most laid- back and unprepared. Of course, we didn't win. I would have been most surprised if we did. Had loads of fun the day before the competition. Radin won musical chair! Haha. Once again, Terrence and myself BROADENED OUR HORIZONS with our counterparts from Sabah. Ahem.

Oh well cannot remember what else that I did in 2007 so I think I'm gonna end it here. Bye!

Surprise victory for IICP

THE basketball team members from INTI International College Penang (IICP) were thrilled to win the Han Chiang-Kwong Wah Yit Poh Inter-College Basketball Competition recently.

The 91-90 victory against KDU Team A in the final was unexpected for the team which was formed only two weeks before the competition.

The IICP boys were in Group A against defending champions Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman, host team from Han Chiang Team A, KDU Team B and SEGi College.

The college Basketball Club editor Lee Yi-Wen said the competition was quite challenging.

“The other teams proved to be worthy opponents. IICP attacked well and defended bravely to stave off their challenge,” he added.

“During the final match against KDU A, we were tied with only a second on the clock. We won two free throws and Captain Brandon converted one of them to get the victory for us,” he added.

I love The Star.

Woots.

Ok so you might argue that the above picture clearly shows that I don't walk the straight road. But then again, are you sure the fella in black is a dude?

Told ya, I walk the straight road.

She sure might be ugly, but I sure as hell do walk the straight road.

Nandos,
Queensbay Mall,
Penang.

To whom it may concern,

My Nandos Experience.

The above is referred about my lunch trip to Nandos on the 30th of September 2008.

We (me and three friends) walked into Nandos expecting a great dining experience. And so we were seated and had our orders taken. We spent an hour there and by the time we walked out we were highly dissatisfied about several things.

Service. We were served by a mean-looking gangster with a birthmark that resembles a scar on his neck. Despite most restaurant chain's "Service with a smile" policy, this waiter looked like he gave no regard to this policy at all. Never smiling, he was grumpy and went as far as telling us to "eff" off when we asked for a customer feedback form. I didn't manage to get his name but I did get a picture though. I googled "gangster leader in nandos" and came up with this. For a restaurant chain so large like you all, I think you can afford better employees than such a man. Not just that, we ordered a bottomless 100Plus. There was once when we asked for a refill and he came back with a glass of PINK 100Plus. We tried to get him to change it for us but all he did was glare at us and walked off with an attitude. We will be trying to claim the 10% service charge that we paid for, since we didn't get the best service we believe we were worthy of.
Food. The four of us shared the Peri Platter. There was nothing magnificent about the chicken but the coleslaw and salad is not made for human consumption.

That's all I have to say about my Nandos experience. This is the picture of the waiter that I found through google.

Yours,
YWEN.

Wishing each other the happiest birthdays.

These are just the few pics I have with me. More to come soon. Stay tuned.

Root three by Kumar Patel.

2008-09-09T22:09:00.003+08:00

To those of you who have watched Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay, surely you will remember this love poem by written by Kumar. Not that this is dedicated to anybody, I just find it highly amusing. And very interesting. Here it goes:

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

~~ It ends here~~

Would be nicer if you watched it. I think you can find it on YouTube.

The Star Education Fund Presentation of Awards Ceremony 2008.

2008-08-30T12:35:00.005+08:00

Took place in..

.. on the 27th August 2008, Wednesday.

Went down to KL the day before. Reached KL at about 1330 hours. Dropped my cousin off at Seri Kembangan before heading over to Cititel Hotel (that's where I stayed).

Spent the whole Tuesday walking around MidValley Megamall. Nothing worth mentioning.

Wednesday. Took taxi to Eastin Hotel. Got there at about 1230 hours. The letter sent to me stated that the thingy will start at 1300 hours. But then sign in the hotel says 1400 hours. Fine. After I registered, the Star people said that the event will start at 1430 hours. Drat.

So I sat and sat and sat for a few hours there. Went up there, got my cert, snap a few pics. Sat more until the presentation ended. Had tea there. Watched The Star journalists interview Daniel Lee just beside me. I think if they showed the uncropped picture that they took of him, you'd be able to see me. Left Eastin Hotel for Cititel at about 1645 hours. Changed clothes and took LRT to KLCC.

Walked around KLCC for more than an hour waiting for Jason to arrive. But yet still can't find something appropriate to buy for him (his birthday is the next day). Oh well. Treated him to dinner instead. Went straight back and collapsed on the bed after that.

Before coming home on Thursday, made a detour to Petaling Street for some bak kua. Better than the ones in Penang.

Here are some pictures I got from another blog. Will upload the few pictures I took when I feel like it. Now feast your eyes upon these.

These papers combined are worth roughly RM6.1 million.

Spot me.

Pixmen.

I'm a nice person =)

2008-08-28T22:10:00.002+08:00

My birthday is not coming. Why? Because somebody asked me to chia on my birthday. And I replied:

ywen says:
my bday?
ywen says:
i came from a rock
ywen says:
like the monkey god
ywen says:
no bday

That somebody also said that I were to treat him/her, it should be a buffet. And my reply was:

ywen says:
economy rice?
ywen says:
can pick the dishes u want
ywen says:
counted buffet la

I'm a nice person =)

WE ARE ON A BREAK!

2008-08-15T16:08:00.005+08:00

... semester break, that is. Yes all, Sem 2 is completed and we can kick back and relax for 14 days before the new semester starts on the first week of September. Let's see how my papers went:

MPW 1133 Malaysian Studies - Relax, take it easy =)
CSC 282 Programming in C++ - Seeing that I rarely paid any attention to Mr Paul all semester, it's a miracle I managed to complete four questions for the exam =DD
EGE 173 Electronic Devices & Circuit Theory 1 - The paper was easier than what we all expected, but yet Mr Chan said we didn't do too well =|
EGR 175 Engineering Drawing - Not too bad =D
MAT 172 Engineering Maths 2 - Of all my papers, I expected to do best in this, but it turned out to be super difficult =X

Oh well, what's done is done.

Now, does anybody have any holiday plans? I'm not available from the 26th - 28th. Apart from that, I'm all yours if you ask nicely =D Oh and I MIGHT be busy some days on the first week of break.

And I know I haven't posted pictures up in some time, so here are some of the pictures I managed to grab. They're taken during the treasure hunt that I didn't win.

I'm too lazy for captions.

By the way, I'm really looking forward to the next semester. My sister, having already graduated, won't be in INTI anymore. Knowing this, I can now do anything I want without having to look behind my shoulder every once in a while. Yeah!

And before I forget, another friend's birthday just passed. This time, it's the beast (I did not just say that) that's turned 18.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LEE JOE JIN!

I'm two days late here but I did wish him on the 13th August. For those of you who didn;t know when his birthday was, you know now. Set a reminder, his next birthday is coming in 363 days. A nice trashing on The Magpies on Sunday would be a great present, no?

Which brings us to the next topic.

The Barclays English Premier League. Is back. This Saturday. Devils playing on Sunday.

Will be catching the live action at our favourite hangout, Green Garden on Saturday. From what I can see, I think Boro will win their first match xP

Till next time!

Yee or ee?

2008-07-24T00:12:00.002+08:00

I don't know how to pronounce my own name.

Lee Yi-Wen.

Any ideas?

The middle part. Is it "yee" or "ee"?

I tried asking my mother and she said, "Dunno, not sure".

I'm the survivor!

2008-07-16T17:59:00.005+08:00

Well for those of you that had been living in the 19^th century, the rumours are, in fact, TRUE. Yes, I joined a treasure hunt. As for the other rumour that said our team WON, now don’t listen to that. That’s not true, unfortunately. On Friday night last week, Kok Pin asked me to join him, Chin Hoong and Evonne for a treasure hunt on Saturday, because their other member, Sze Ching, had to pull out. So I thought, “What the heck, it might be fun”. And so I joined.

The next morning, I was up by around 0500 hours to get ready and everything. An hour later, Kok Pin picked me up from home and we were on our way to Esplanade.

Bla bla bla and hours later, we’re off! Truth be told, Saturday was boring and the planning was terrible. We walked to St Xavier’s, Penang Road Police Station, Macalister Road, KOMTAR, QE2 and back to Esplanade. All you need to know is, at the end of the day, we made it into the final round comprising of 20 teams on Sunday.

YAY!

On Sunday, the race covered more of the island. For the teams that can’t drive yet, they can follow the cars arranged by the organizers. As for us, we had Che San (God of Cars) TAN KOK PIN with us. Seriously without this guy we would have lost the race even before we had finished half of it.

So on Sunday, we gathered at New World Park at about 0800 hours. We were the earliest there. Overexcited mah. LOL. We were given instructions and stuffs. We were told about the treasure we’re supposed to find. There’s a story behind it. It goes like this:

A group of pirates from Arab were on the way to China. They got shipwrecked because of a cyclone in Myanmar. Eight of the survivors were washed up to the shores of Penang. The treasure is lost. One of the eight had stolen it.

Now, there are eight stations in the race. There is a survivor at each station. At each station, we were supposed to finish a challenge and then interview the survivor about anything we like to gather enough info to try and guess who took the treasure.

Right after they explained all that, they gave away the first clues. Our first clue was: a blank piece of paper. WTH? Well we used our brains and wet the paper with some water. The destination was written clearly on it. And so we went off to...

· Celebrity Fitness, Gurney Plaza.

We were required to perform a relay. First up was sit-ups by Evonne. Then Chin Hoong did some sort of chin ups while reading a message on top of the machine. After that, it was my turn on the treadmills, while reading some tongue twisters. Last was Kok Pin did some sums while trying not to fall on his knees with weights placed on his back. We did that and interviewed the first survivor. After that, solved the next clue and went over to...

Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi.

After that, we proceeded to the challenge. We went into Khoo Kongsi and went from clue to clue to finally find a piece of paper which contains the history of Khoo Kongsi. While three of the team members had to memorise the history and explain it to a tourist, one of us had to solve a Rubik’s Cube. However the helpers at the station were nice enough to let us finish only one side before we proceed. Managed to complete it after some time. The next clue led us to...

The Botanical Gardens.

We had to find a blind slave, somewhere in the gardens. Along the way, there are mini stations that gave us codes to solve the question that was to be given to us by the blind slave. After completing one round of the gardens, we still haven’t managed to find the guy. So we went a second round. And a third round. Then we found him hidden deep inside the Orchid House, by the Lily Pond. Interviewed him and got the clue. We spent more than tow hours there. This is where we lost the race. Safe to say, I won't be stepping foot into that place anymore.The Botanical Gardens and the monkeys there are my sworn enemies. Solved the clue, headed over to...

Crown Prince Beach.

One member had to spin on the spot for 30 rounds and then piggyback another member to collect seashell around a specified area. Oh yea the piggyback-er will be blindfolded. Chin Hoong and Kok Pin did this rather quickly. Interviewed the survivor there. Obtained the clue and sped to...

Thee Kong Tnua, near Penang Hill.

The task was to find some limited edition coins. Two 10 cents coins from the year 2005, two 20 cents from 2008 and two 50 cents from 2000. So we went to the place that used to be Asia Cafe. Managed to find almost all of the coins except the 50 cents ones. So we decided to go a bit further and ended up in the Air Itam market. Finally managed to find all. Before that, I even called Yik Sean for help. Lol thanks buddy. Got our interview session and the clue to the next station, which turned out to be...

Queensbay Mall.

We were required to act out a script written in Mandarin. But because only Evonne can read Mandarin proficiently, the station masters there let us act out the scenes without needing to memorize the script. Hahaha. Quickly finished it and interviewed our guy. Got the clue and rushed to...

Snake Temple.

The station masters had taken blurry shots in the temple. We had to recapture those shots correctly. After that, we had to take a picture with a foreign tourist. Then we interviewed the survivor and went off to...

· Sleeping Buddha Temple.

When we got there, the station was just closing up so the station masters there just let us have the clue and interview without the challenge. After that, we went to...

New World Park AGAIN. That’s the end of the race. And we’ve lost. Sad.

We hung around waiting for the prize presentation. Talked to some extremely nice people we met on the way, mostly they’re station helpers. At about 1930 hours, we went to Old Town for dinner. All of us had the nasi lemak. Once again, the Old Town White Coffee didn’t fail me. Was feeling extremely tired before the meal. After the meal, can run and jump and joke around with my new found friends.

The prize presentation started at about 2030 hours, I guess. First, the top twelve teams were announced. And guess what? We’re among the top twelve! Such a surprise, since we thought we did really badly.

Dig this, the teams before us that went up the stage to get their certs got a warm applause by the crowd. When we went up, the helpers clapped like mad and the vice chairperson of the organizing committee shouted at the top of his lungs for more applause for us. Must be because we were sporting and friendly. Seriously.

On the other hand, the eventual champs got booed off the stage when they went up for their prize. Why? They were extremely unsporting and selfish. It’s usual for the station masters to try and distract you from completing the challenge in the fastest possible time. For example, at the beach, the helpers were shouting opposite directions. Guess what those snobby, spoilt brats did to the helpers? They freaking shouted at them. Yes, that’s correct. They did just that. And from what we heard, they complained about almost every station. So they got what they deserved la. Lol. At least when we lost, we lost happily.

Oh before I forget, let’s see you guys try to figure out who stole the treasure. Here’s the info we obtained. Good luck! I’ll reveal the answer some other time. Keep your answers coming. Remember to include reasons for your choice.

1. Pirate Captain.

His assistant is Ahmad, who is “involved” with the Captain’s wife. Her name is Sakura and she is Japanese (obviously). Saw a person running into his room. Is hot tempered. Good friends with Ali Baba.

2. Ahmad.

“Involved” with Sakura, captain’s wife. Went to Arab to join Captain’s ship. Helped him to steal a treasure from Arab. Hates the Captain because he is treated badly and does not get a share of the loot.

3. Sakura, Japanese wife of Captain.

Cheating on Captain with Ahmad, apparently because Ahmad is handsome. Married Captain because she’s greedy and likes treasures. Quite close to Slave 3. Tried to steal treasure but failed.

4. Spy.

Hails from Europe. Works as a slave on the ship. He thinks that one of the other slaves is crazy, but could be pretending. A blind person asked him for the key to the treasure room. He found out that the Captain has diplomatic ties to Japan and China.

5. Crazy Slave.

Says that a dragon ate the boat the night that the moon disappeared. Saw a person “fighting” with the lock to the treasure. But failed to open it. Saw two people stealing something. One of them has a big head and three legs.

6. Blind Slave.

Used to be treasure room keeper. Suspects Slave 4 to be the thief. Captain poisoned his eye for unknown reasons. Would like to steal the treasure if possible as revenge.

7. Slave 3.

Friends with Ahmad and Sakura. I can’t tell you more about this survivor as the notes I have on him is written in Chinese. Lol but I can tell you that this survivor is not important.

8. Ali Baba.

Prince of Arab. Friends with Captain. Met the Captain in a casino, where he always loses to the Captain. Thinks that the blind slave is stupid. Likes to bully the blind slave. Has weak stamina.

That’s all I have for you. Go on and guess! By the way, the pics will be up together with the answer, as I haven’t been able to get my hands on the pics yet. Sorry and stay tuned =)

EGE173 lab report.

2008-07-03T22:35:00.004+08:00

My 26-page lab report is finally done. Have been sweating over it for quite some time. Luckily I had enough sense in me to see that I have to start writing this report earlier or I would end up like my classmates. Let me summarise for you:

Bee Yee - Ki siao liao. Pity.
Ban Leng - Busy with report.
Kelvin is preparing for war.
Nai Ken - Taking the battle to Mr Chan.
Li Yan - Lost control already.
Brian - Warring alongside Kelvin?

And I'm over here blogging. xD

Another one leaves our ranks.

2008-06-30T21:42:00.003+08:00

Like the title suggests, another one of us has left this miserable island. To be more accurate, the title should actually read:

"Another Teo leaves our ranks."

Yep. Effective from today onwards, Teo Mou Jian, ex-TL of 7GTS, has gone on to pursue his dreams to be an actuarist. The JPA scholar will be doing AUP (American University Programme) in INTI University College, Nilai.

Mou Jian and some ke leh feh.

The GREAT news is, he's not gonna be alone. His roomie will be another JPA scholar also from PFS. At least got teman la. Hope you have lotsa fun with Wei Zhang in N9, dude. To add to that, I heard that INTI-UC is only a short ten minutes drive from the University of Nottingham, where Daniel Lai now studies. Well Mou Jian, at least you're in good hands.

When one leaves, it's only proper to hold a farewell outing. For Mou Jian, he had a farewell dinner planned by his girl friends from his scouting days. They chose to dine in Jemputree. Too bad Eiven can't make it. He's having his homework down when we left.

Picked up Joel, Chong Yen and Yik Sean before heading to town. Took us some time to reach there because the passengers didn't know how to prioritize. They were more interested in talking about Cabal then guiding the sesat driver to the destination. Thanks to some quick-thinking by yours truly, we managed to get there at 2030 hours.

Right after finding a place to park, the four of us got to watch a movie xD Mou Kian we know what you were up to that night. I have evidence ahaha.

Went in to Jemputree and chatted for quite some time before ordering. Review:

Food - OK only. Nothing worth mentioning.
Price - It slaughtered me.
Environment - A bit warm but it's OK.

Add it all up I'll give it about 6/10. After the feast, we talked some more before leaving. Took a group picture at the entrance.

Like my prievous post, here's a little tribute to Teo Mou Jian.

I'm aware of this fella's existance since I stepped through the gates of PFS. But not only till F3 did I actually know him personally. Before F3, I know him as the blur blur kid from 7 South. In F3 (3 Zamrud '05 rawks), I got to know him as TMJ, blur-yet-unbelievably-buaya-future-7 South TL.

That year, he sat beside Sim and behind Yen and Joe. Nearby was Yik Sean and further behind was myself. Oh did we have the best year or what. F3 was filled with joyous memories that can't be replaced. Shall not elaborate any further here.

I'm not a man of many words, so I can't really say much about T-Mouse (believe it or not that's his nickname. But some will argue he prefers us to call him Harry) because I've known him for only 4 rather short years. All I need to say is, this guy's the man. He's the man. And he loves watermelons (I think he does) xD

Ohh ya. I once went to his house to settle some YE stuffs in F4. That night, he saw a cockroach and bloody jumped onto a chair. We know your secrets, Mou. Better be careful.

Bye, Mou Jian. All the best and try not to buaya so much in N9. Berkecimpung arr.

Yik Sean, Yen, me, Mou Jian, Joe, Joel, Kia.

An interesting point to note:

So far, those from the gang that has left Penang has surnames that starts with "T". You see arr,

Terrence Teh.
Jason Teo.
Teo Mou Jian.

You can also count in Mou Jian's roomie, Teh Wei Zhang.

And if I'm not mistaken, Jared Teoh will also be going to KL soon, is it?

What's this, The Revenge of The T's?

AutoCity.

2008-06-27T21:37:00.003+08:00

Two days ago, went to Autocity for our last dinner with Jason Teo Chia Jung before he leaves us for UTM, KL. With so many people leaving the island for this place, I can safely say this place is The Heartbreak City.

Back to the topic, Autocity. After battling traffic jam and other obstacles on the way, we (as in Joel, Yik Sean, Teo and myself) got there safely at approximately 2000 hours. By the way, we were supposed to be joined by Joe Jin, Mou Jian and the rest but unsurprisingly they flew the plane.

Walked for one round around the restaurants to decide where to eat. Finally we decided to dine here:

Roxbury Food House.

After having our orders taken, we listened to Teo ramble about the service etc. You know la, Hardwicke Bistro taukeh kia expects the best where ever he goes. By the way, if y'all wants the pics of the food we had that night, I think you can find it here in a few day's time.

Jason taking a good look at Yik Sean before he leaves.

Joel shy shy.

Short review of the place :

Food - not bad. I'll give it a 7.5/10.
Price - good. RM20++ for set dinner. Salad, soup, main course and dessert included.
Environment - superb. No pics though. Sorry.

Seeing that we sat there for nearly 2 hours, it was around 2200 hours already when we decided to pay and leave Autocity. Came back to more familiar territory. Old Town at E-Gate.

Jason, who doesn't take cold drinks (old man), ordered the hot Old Town White Coffee. It turned out to be a lot more bitter than the cold one that we usually have. No choice but to drown it all. After leaving the place, he said, "I'm not coming to Old Town anymore". NOOB.

Dropped them all home and went back after that.

And before I forget, I would like to dedicate a little section here to Mr Teo.

This boy here, I've known him since Standard 5, when we sat beside each other in class. My aunt and his mum worked together at SK Padang Tembak. The next year, we transferred from SKBL to SKPT. Naturally, we would go on to become the best of friends.

The following year, we both got a place in PFS. Throughout our 5 years there, we were never in the same class. However we were in a number of same societies. In F3, I was his assistant in YE. Then the next eyar I was again his assistant. We were also very involved in the BSS. He was secretary, I was treasurer.

Just recently, he was "imprisoned" at the Rifle Club for a month. This was a part of his preparation for SUKMA 2008.

And so he went to Terengganu. When he came back, he was the proud owner of a SUKMA medal. Our guy's a bronze medallist for the team event in 10m pistol event, if I'm not mistaken. Gratz, bro!

Now, he's gonna take his first step towards becoming an aeronautical engineer.

Bye, dude. All the best. Don't forget to remember us. Have fun in KL. We'll call every Friday, if possible, to prevent you from going places we know you don't wanna go to.

Jason Teo.

Thnks fr th mmrs.

P.S. This post might be a little bit jiwang, but I must stress that I walk the straight road.

My name and its meaning.

2008-06-21T23:49:00.003+08:00

What Lee Yi-Wen Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.

Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.

You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.

You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.

You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.

You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

My interpretation:

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. Only half true. I get my deal of stress too.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well it really isn't easy to piss me off.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. I'm willing to sell my secrets. A million bucks. Any takers? xP
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. Not EVERYone. But I'm friendly. I don't bite :D
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. Erm..
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. Tell me one person who isn't.
But for the important things, you pull it together. Desperate times call for desperate measures ma.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. I'm pretty stressed out at times. So much for "a free spirit". But I dislike being "fenced in".
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. Adventurous is something I'm not.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. I don't think that's quite true.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. Hell yeah.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. This thing is getting more accurate by the sentence.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. I wouldn't say so.
You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. I just said I won't bite la.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. Not true. I'm very indecisive.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! WOOHOO!
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. Now, don't makes me look THAT smart. Everybody's got limitations.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. Sadly, it's true.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. I get jealous ALL the time.

Indefinite absence.

2008-06-11T22:31:00.002+08:00

Test period for two weeks. Cannot lenggang-lenggang like back in Sem 1 anymore. Unbelievably, some of the kiddies in Sem 1 now actually studied for their English test. Haha. Nerds.

Anyways Maths test over already. Due to insufficient preparation, only managed a measly 38/50. Sad sad =(

This Friday, first ever open book test. Won't be easy though. EGE has never been easy. My weak link. And I'm still here typing this.

Next week, three consecutive days of tests.

Monday - CSC. Know nothing about C++.
Tuesday - EGR. The most expensive subject. Can do but not sure if can finish on time.
Wednesday - MPW. What studies? Malaysian Studies? What would that be? Never heard of it.

As you can see, I'm pretty much screwed. Luckily I managed to turn down a tempting steamboat invitation. Or else die la.

On the other hand, PEJ 707 officially hit the roads yesterday. Who needs a ride? LOL.

Will be back after Wednesday.

New friends wanted.

2008-06-08T23:29:00.003+08:00

Saw this on TV. Came here to share it with the world.

Three men, Mr Good-Looking, Mr Average-Looking and Mr Just-Plain-Horrible, go to a party.

Mr Good-Looking goes around trying to score a chick. Mr Average-Looking wants to tag along and hopefully be able to live off Mr Good-Looking's scraps. Another guest at the party tells Mr Average-Looking,

"Why do you wanna go with him? When you stand beside him, you look like ^#*%! Let me give you a tip. When you wanna score with the chicas, it's best if you're in the company of somebody that is worse than you"

Mr Average-Looking understood this and grabbed Mr Just-Plain-Horrible along for the rest of the party.

After the party, Mr Average-Looking can be heard telling his other friends,

"Man, did I score that night!"

Conclusion is, when you stick around with somebody more physically superior, it's gonna be difficult to get the attention of members of the opposite gender.

So right now, I'm off to look for new friends.

Condition : must not look better than me.

No wonder when I'm out with friends, I don't score. Blah. Now I know.

Brains.

2008-06-08T21:24:00.004+08:00

Have any of you ever saw brains? Not on the telly or anything. But a real, still kicking and laughing, brain? Nope? Never?

Well you're all in luck today. I'll show you brains.

May i present to you..

BRAINS.

Side note : If anybody has pictures of 4Budiman class of 2006 and 5 Amanah class of 2007, please notify me. I would like to have them. I had a few but lost them all when I reformatted my PC. Thanks!

I can be in the circus.

2008-06-08T01:27:00.003+08:00

There's this new species called the tiger mouse.

So if I can make i stand up on it's "hind legs", I can proclaim myself to be an animal trainer, right?

I did just that.

Lo and behold..

19)What do you think of the person who tagged you?
Great speaker, good friend, superb listener and.. I've just run out of superlatives.

20)What do you want to know right now?
More than I can manage.

I'm a Libra.

2008-05-30T22:42:00.004+08:00

I'm sure most of you out there have received this email at least once in your lifetime. I've gotten it countless times already. Only this time, I copied and pasted my horoscope here. See if y'all agree with it.

LIBRA - The Harmonizer
Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their mind. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible. 9 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

Now let's see.

Nice to everyone they meet. Yes, I'm a very nice person. Can't deny that now, can we?

Can't make up their mind. I can't decide whether this is true or not. There's a certain degree of truth. But I'm not really sure actually. In other words, very true.

Have own unique appeal. You tell me.

Creative, energetic, and very social. Why don't you be the judge for this as well?

Hates to be alone. Half true. I need my special alone time sometimes xD Not in a bad way of course.

Peaceful, generous. Peaceful, yes. Generous? Urhmm..

Very loving and beautiful. I dare not say.

Flirtatious. Hey. How're you doing? *winks* NOT TRUE. ME IS SHY.

Give in too easily. I have to agree.

Procrastinators. Undoubtedly so. Who isn't??

Very gullible. Erm. Not sure. Hopefully not.

9 years of bad luck if you do not forward. This is also not the first time that I've decided NOT to forward this email. So those countless times multiplied by 9, I'm doomed for life.

Oh but what the hell, yours truly was never a believer in chain mails.

Bring 'em on.

Birthday Calendar - 27th May.

2008-05-30T21:04:00.004+08:00

This time around, our birthday boy(s) are OOI CHU HAN and OOI CHU KUAN. Whoo. The twins of PFS are officially 18. Chu Kuan called me up on Monday night, inviting me to attend their party at Sri Sayang. So on Tuesday, went to Batu Ferringhi after class. Driver of the day is none other day than Mr Joel Lim, driving a spanking new Perodua Kelisa. Yes, PFN 9707 is no longer our official mode of transportation. Look out for PFL 8447 instead. It's only temporary though, Joel's 7-Series is about to arrive in a few weeks time. Please be patient.

So I rushed home after class. Parked car and hopped onto the Kelisa. Picked Mrs Lim and Yik Sean up. Made a pit stop at Gurney Plaza to buy presents and light dinner. However, things didn't go as planned. One of the pit crew members fainted and our pit stop lasted about 3 hours. We finally left Gurney at about 2100 hours.

Dinner version 1.0.

Fast fast speed go Sri Sayang. Haven't been there in years. The twins rented apartment number 3 on the 9th floor. So up we went.

When we got there, Chu Kuan happily sat us down at the dining table and we had dinner for the second time that night. Happily chatted away as we ate. Two cooks cooking at the same time and place wor. Must give face and eat la.

Cook number 1 - Birthday boy Ooi Chu Kuan (Yik Sean at the side).

Cook number 2 - Joel Lim (Mrs Lim at the side).

Dinner version 2.0

Due to time constraints, we left the place about an hour later. Just before we left, the twins blew out 18 candles on their cake. Right after that, Chu Han, being the more rowdy one, said in a rather loud voice,

"Sex is so legal!"

After that statement, we took the lift down to the lobby. Took a pic of the 5 of us there. Managed to get on of the receptionists to help take it. After she took the first picture, Chu Kuan asked cheekily,

"Kenapa tak ada one, two, cheese?"

=.=

So she took another shot.

Mrs Lim, Mr Lim, Chu Kuan, Yik Sean and me.

That's all I guess. I'm expecting a long day ahead tomorrow. Sigh.

For the last time,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHU KUAN & CHU HAN!

Now kids, it's time for lesson number one. Numero uno. If you see somebody looking like this, he's definitely a loser. Stay away from him. Highly dangerous.

Have never looked good.

Birthday calendar - 25th May.

2008-05-24T23:09:00.004+08:00

It's somebody's birthday again. Guess who is another year older when the clock strikes 12 tonight? He is none other than..

If you haven't the slightest idea who this is, I can safely tell you only one person can look so lansi.

KIATISAK CHUA!!

This chiko here, I've known him since Standard 1. That's 11 long years. We go a long way back. Back then we had our own lil gang. Me, Joe Jin, Kia, Alvin, Daniel and Teik Hong.

Now, we're all grown up and have gone different directions. Teik Hong is in Disted, Kia in Han Chiang College and Daniel is PTPL. Joe, Alvin and myself are all in INTI. Different courses though. Alvin will join his bro in US soon. He's in AUP. Joe is doing HSC. And I'm there for the sole purpose of having fun.

However, me, Joe and Kia still remain close. Just the other day we witnessed Man Utd being crowned Kings of Europe. Such joy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIATISAK CHUA!

Finally a decent pic of Kia. The other two people spoilt the pic though. Bleargh.

Wesak.

2008-05-22T20:58:00.007+08:00

Wesak Day fell on the 19th May this year. For those of you who thinks Wesak is just another public holiday, let me enlighten y'all a bit about this special day for us Buddhists. Wesak, or sometimes spelt Vesak, is an annual holiday observed by practicing Buddhists. Sometimes informally called "Buddha's Birthday", it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment and passing of Lord Buddha. Source: Wikipedia.

Now let's not turn this post into a total history lesson. Y'all younglings won't like it.

Every year on this day, I will join the PFS BSS to help out at Mahindarama Buddhist Temple. Among the stuff we help do is :

Pack food.
Clearing joss sticks. Not pleasant at all, this one.
Clearing the candles.
Misc.

When I was with the BSS, I needed to be there by 0600 hours. But this year I'm no longer a BSS member. Went a bit later la so that can get some shut-eye. Went at 1000 hours instead. Original plan was to stay till 1200 hours only. Wanna go home sleep ma since joining procession that night. However we ended up staying till 1500 hours coz the temple committee boh kao chiu (rough translation: not enough hands). I saw a few familiar faces at the temple. Classmates Hun Hoh and Li Yan, and senior CS. By the time I dropped Chu Kuan and got home, it's nearly 1530 hours already. Briefly read the papers and bathed before leaving home to board the bus at PFS. Jason came to my house to hitchhike. Picked up Chu Kuan and Cheng Kwang.

After a minor delay, off to CRC. As the members set up the banners and everything, we (me, Jason and Chu Kuan) went for a short walk and ended up at MBA. Explored the place a bit. While we were about to leave, heard somebody saying that some big shots are about to arrive. They turned out to be..

YB Lim Guan Eng and wife Betty Chew.

MCA Sec Gen Dato Ong Ka Chuan.

Dato Teng Hock Nan.

Went to a stall outside CRC for dinner. Met a brother of a certain Free before leaving for the CRC field. Saw Wei Jun also. Nothing to say about the procession. Shall let the pictures do the talking here.

New BSS banner.

Spot me if you can.

Raymond (congrats for the JPA) and Yvain.

One of the floats.

That cin kak (keji) look is forever etched onto his face - Jason Teo.

The girl in the centre row, her name is Jasmine. And she's a relative of mine. Seriously.

Another float.

Jason has a thing for candle wax. Freak.

Now some pics from Wesak Day 2007.

I saw this video on 8TV a few days ago. Tried very hard to find out the title of the song. Finally found it here. It's called "Here In My Home"

It's a song by various Malaysian artistes. Now before y'all start throwing rotten eggs at them, give it a listen! It's really nice.

Or watch it here.

Guys' day out.

2008-05-18T13:21:00.001+08:00

Decided to get started on our Malaysian Studies assignment. We had to do a research on one of the following old buildings in Penang :

Penang Free School.
Convent Light Street.
Fort Cornwallis.

Being an Old Free myself, y'all would surely think we were gonna choose PFS. Well if that was your guess, then you guessed wrong. We chose Fort Cornwallis!

Chin Hoong picked me up from home at about 1300 hours. Before going to the fort, Chin Hoong stopped by a workshop in Jelutong to fine tune his car a little. Safety first is the way to go. When we got there, the mechanic was away so we walked to a nearby place for lunch. The only stall open was this..

Rasheed Mee Goreng.

I didn't order initially because I had already eaten at home. But the sight of everybody tucking in happily caused me to cave and ordered a plate for myself. Kecil sudah cukup la. Almost forgot to take a pic of it. When the plate was half consumed, took this pic.

This is kecil when I'm half done with it. Besar, kan?

When we're all full and bloated, walked back to the workshop. The car was fixed in about half an hour or so. Straight to the fort after that!

We parked near the lighthouse of the fort. Since we were so near the lighthouse already, it was only fitting that we went up the lighthouse first. Entrance to the lighthouse was FOC. But it's not for the faint hearted. Haha. Halfway up the steps, Kel and Pin teased Chin Hoong because of his fear of heights. How evil. Hearing them going, "Wei look down wei. So high!" made my legs wobble a bit. By the time we reached the top I was holding onto the hand railings very tightly. Darn them.

The view up there was beautiful. Snapped a few pics before making our way down. The journey down was worse than the way up. To go down, you HAVE TO look down.

Group pic!

After that, walked to the main entrance. Paid entrance fee of RM3 each. The first thing we did inside was to pose with a statue of Francis Light using a rifle and hats.

Shoot me..

..and suffer this fate.

Visited the gallery where you can find all sort of stuffs about the fort. There is also information about how Penang came about and all that. Just in front of the gallery, there is a model of old canopies. More pics there.

Chin Hoong and the cannon.

What am I trying to suggest here?

We heard the swing creak.

Walked around and reached the cannons. Did you guys know that there are horses being reared right there in the fort? Near the cannons. The first thing Cuan said when he saw the horses were, "Oh so thin one the horses."

Posed near the cannons. Asked a few KL-ites to help take a group pic that I decided not to put up because I moved just before the guy clicked and it turned out really ugly.

Spot the chicas at the back! WOOT!

Us and the cannon.

Before leaving, we wanted to ask a worker there stuffs about the fort. He's hard to miss because he wears a traditional English uniform. Here goes it interview session.

Me : Nama encik ialah?

Stupid guy : Oh takda nama.

Me : OK. Boleh tanya sikit tentang kota ini?

Stupid guy : *peers at my questions written on paper* Oh tak boleh.
____________________________________________________________________

The he just walked away. WTF so rude OK. Tak tau cakap la tak tau. Jangan cakap tak boleh. Dunno anything about the fort some more dare to work there. WTF right? Since we failed to get our answers, we left the place.

Headed to Kel's place to get started on the report. Kel did most of the typing while we just watched from the side. Kudos to you, Kel!

Took a bath to freshen up. Left for dinner at Jelutong market at 2000 hours.

We stuck to our original plan to visit Kek Lok Si. This is because Cuan has never been there before. When we reached there, it looks all dark. Weird. WTH closed already lar. Asked around and found out that the temple is closed at 1800 hours everyday. Only during CNY it is open to the public till at night. Wasted. Went back lor.

That's about all from me this time.

Eventhough we didn't enjoy the fort, I did enjoy myself :D

Frustration.

2008-05-18T00:09:00.002+08:00

Had just finished typing a super long post. Clicked "PUBLISH POST".

Expected to see the usual stuff that says post successful or something. Instead, all I got was "There is an errorr" bla bla bla. When I troubleshooted, turns out that the error comes from all the pics I uploaded. WTH?? Tried several times to post again but to no avail. Gave up and will try next time.

Come back again OK? Bye.

PFS.

2008-05-15T21:46:00.003+08:00

Terrence is back!

For ten days only.

Yesterday, we (me, Terrence and Yiks) went back to PFS for fun. Form 6 has started and we decided to go back to take a look. Since we were there already, we decided to try taking our long-overdue testimonials and school leaving certs. Not sure if it's ready already or not. Went to the office to ask. Yup it's ready. But we can't have it. The lowly clerk (no offence to clerks but I just hate the ones in PFS) told us we need to show them offer letters from our respective colleges as an explanation.

"Explain what?", we asked.

"Kenapa tak balik Tingkatan 6", says clerk.

WTF why we don't wanna go back is our business OK. What if I decided to start working and stop studying? Where to get offer letter? Nonsensical la this PFS. Luckily I'm not there anymore.

Didn't wanna argue with them, since they're still holding our testimonials. Lunched there and took a walk.

Saw quite some people. Got Khang Yang, William, Yvain, Edward, JANICIA, Jason and lots more. Didn't see Eiven and Chong Yen though. They ponteng. Also bumped into Chulan. He really is funny. When he saw me he said, "God, you're tall". The fact is, I have to look upwards to have a proper conversation with him. Yeah, me is tall. He also expressed disbelief over the fact that I blog. It's not unbelievable OK, Chulan. Ahaha.

After that we left PFS for the new McD in Air Itam beside Caltex. Just had sundaes. Dropped them both and went to INTI where we had to endure three hours of Malaysian Studies.

The next day, went back there again, this time with Joel instead of Yiks. We were also well armed with our offer letters (I took a UniTEN offer letter. Lazy wanna ask one from INTI). Went to the office and finally got our hands on our testimonials. But the school leaving certs weren't ready yet. Slow la them! Ishhhh.

Moving on. We met up with Chong Yen and Tze Lun. Took a walk around the Form 6 classes. They are in 6RA (Science class) but are planning to change to Arts soon. Witnessed Yen buaya-ing xD Anyways Chuah Chong Yen is a future PFS tua liap lang (big shot). Prefect (maybe School Captain) and possibly 7GTS ASSL. Whoa. Bila sudah mencipta nama untuk sendiri jangan lupa kawan ya, saudara Chuah. LOL.

Went for lunch at Mandarin and then back home.

That's all for now. Bye bye.

Angels brought me here.

2008-05-15T21:41:00.001+08:00

Congratulations Lee Yi-Wen, you are 60% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...

Guy Sebastian !

Try it here.

Notice.

2008-05-13T22:09:00.002+08:00

Unless y'all are visually impaired or suffer from some disease that affects your vision, you might be able to see that there has been some error when I posted my two previous posts - the font sizes.

I can't seem to change them back to normal no matter how I tried. And I'm too lazy to delete the post and retype the whole thing again. So I'll just leave it be.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Us here at W' Writes! promise that no such error will take place ever again (hopefully).

Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

Yours sincerely,
Ywen

Heartache.

2008-05-13T21:53:00.004+08:00

Last week I, being the busy (lazy) man that I am, asked Chin Hoong for help to buy stuffs necessary for my EGR175 class. FYI EGR175 is Engineering Drawing. Which means I need a T-ruler, set squares and new pencils (HB and 4H leads).

Today, he passed to me those stuffs and told me the amount I owed him. Added into the bill was RM1.60 that I earlier owed him for notes and RM1 for parking at Queensbay. Total? RM18.40. Yea. Half my allowance gone. But since the EGR stuffs is for educational purposes, claimed back the money from my Dad. Haha. But still, heart very pain OK.

Pencils, gigantic set squares and T-ruler.

Planning to sell them away to lil kiddies when I'm done with them. So kids, faster book OK. Set squares and T-ruler up for sale. Still in good condition, though no guarantees on its condition after 14 weeks. Haha.

Peninsula Malaysia - RM10
West Malaysia - RM13

While stocks last.

Hurry and make your bookings now!!

Friends discount - if you happen to be a friend of mine, there will be a special discount.

For friends only, PRICE ON REQUEST.*

*Terms and Conditions apply.

No title for this one.

2008-05-12T14:38:00.007+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Was busy. No worries though, your fave blogger is back!

One week has passed since I started studying again. It also means it's time for me to start saving again.

Started off the week with RM 46. Ended the week with RM 52. Ahaha.

Money in :

30 bucks from selling books to Marcus.

Money out :

Miscellaneous i.e. food, notes, etc
Belated birthday present for Kelvin.
Beach party money.

Official money count - RM 52. Very encouraging start. LOL. saving isn't very hard after all. Only losers can't do it xP

Money matters aside, congratulations to Raymond for getting the JPA scholarship. I didn't get it but nevermind. So far I only know RayMan got it. Will put up more names when I get 'em.

Do you all know this song by Meat Loaf called "Objects in the Rearview Mirror may Appear Closer Than They Are"? Today I walked past a very normal-looking car. When I was near the side mirror, I saw a few tiny words etched n the mirror. It read, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they are". Must be a big Meat Loaf fan. Haha. Though he got the wrong mirror and not all the words. But still, "Bat Out of Hell" must have influenced him a lot.

And to all of you that are from another planet, Man Utd have retained the EPL, beating other loser clubs like CSKA London (that's Chelsea to you pro-Romans), Arsenal and Loserpool.

Victory is sweet.

Up next, Moscow!

The two idiots in blue can be ignored. Focus only on the reds. They're what this pic is about.

I'll see y'all around, aite?

Have fun!

Me no scary.

2008-05-07T23:10:00.003+08:00

Just now I was taking the lift up to my house when this two lil kiddies entered the lift after me. They look to be around the age of 8. As soon as they entered, they huddled together at the other end of the lift, looking at me. WHAT AM I THAT SCARY?!

FYI I don't look like this everyday you know.

Anyways if y'all remember my pledge to save, I can proudly announce that I'm doing quite well now. In my pledge I planned six things that are :

Save at least half my weekly allowance, that is RM15 per week.
Any outing that involves a lot of money, expect your invitation to be declined (if my willpower is strong enough la).
Eat less. The food in INTI doesn't tear holes in my pocket. It freakin' rips my pockets apart.
Spend more time at home.
Spend only RM50 a month on outings.
If I save less than RM15 a week, must make up for it in the following week i.e. RM16 must be saved next week if I only managed RM14 this week.

I remembered another one and I shall add it to the list.

Use handphone less so that I don't waste too much credit and therefore eliminate the need to reload frequently like I do now.

If you guys think I'm not serious with this saving pledge, think again.

*serious face*

The second first two days.

2008-05-06T22:40:00.003+08:00

First two days of college as a Semester 2 student went by smoothly. No more unfortunate recurrence of the incidents that marred the first two days of my Semester 1. However I did miss the first two lab sessions of the semester. I'm supposed to have labs for EGE173 and CSC282 on Monday. It doesn't make any sense to me because we haven't started lecture yet. Never teach us anything yet how to do experiments, right? And my classmates told me that the Head of Engineering, Miss Hema, told them that there won't be labs on the first two weeks so we can skip those two labs. So I ma skip lor. Supposed to go to college at 0800 hours on Monday but ended up going at 1100 hours because I skipped two labs. My next class is actually at 1400 hours but decided to go early to enrol. And also lunch with the juniors. Haha.

Anyways after lunch at aroun 1300 hours went back to INTI. Lazed around waiting for class to start.

Then when Chin Hoong arrived he told me that there WAS class that morning. Only about 6 people attended. I went to class I didn't have to attend in my first semester and missed classes on in my second semester. So I guess we can call it even. Haha. Decided to go see Mr Chan and Mr Paul to explain our absence from their class.

At 1400 hours we went for our very first class, MAT 174. The lecturer was Mr Teo (he emphasized on "No 'H' in my name"). At first he seems like the stern type of guy. But after that we decided he's cool. LOL.

He did teach a bit but ended class an hour early coz it's just the first lesson.

Went for EGR175 after that. This is Miss Hema's class. She set some ground rules for us and told us to prepare the stuff necessary for her class. She showed us two videos concerning her subject (leaving us blur as we have no idea what the vids are about) before dismissing us earlier also.

Very greatful she let us go early or else would have to battle traffic jam home. Lots of people going homa at 1800 hours ma.

The second day was not as relaxing as the first. All classes officially started already. And dammit Cuan, Pin, Kel and Chin Hoong got into Group A for EGE labs while I alone got sorted into Group B. This is not good. At all.

Nothing more for me to say I think. That's all for this time, folks. Tune in next time for more.

Back to school.

2008-05-05T00:12:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow (actually it's later today) I'll be starting my Semester 2 in INTI for my Diploma. Don't really wanna start yet. Two weeks holidays not enough lar. Need. Longer. Holidays.

Also, the start of Sem 2 also means it's 5th of May already. Which means.. It's saving time!

Spend less!

Nights!

Beaching.

2008-05-03T12:27:00.005+08:00

Yesterday we (as in one whole big INTI gang) went to the beach! I went in Chin Hoong's car together with Daniel (about to enter INTI next Monday) and Alvin. Reached Sandy Bay Paradise (or is it Paradise Beach Hotel? Or area they the same? Not sure) at approximately 1745 hours? Not very sure also.

When we got there, everybody else is there already. They are Kok Pin (who came up with the event), Jacky, Kelvin (didn't know he's coming), Evonne, Sze Ching, Pei Ying, Hui Hui and three other girls (sorry I dunno your names). We put our stuffs down and Pin divided us into groups. I'm in the same team as Alvin, Pei Ying and Hui Hui.

For the first game we were given an egg tied to a rafia string. We were required to tie the rafia around our hips, so that the egg is dangling between out legs (a bit obscene if you know what I mean). Then we must break the damned egg by swinging it against a stick stuck upright in the sand. So yeah it got all of us (with the exception of Kel) swinging our hips back and forth. I didn't managed to break my egg, so I got fed up. Took the stick and hit the egg till it broke. Play cheat. Ahahah. My team lost. So we were given a punishment.

Egg on stick.

The guys had to get on all fours and crawl to the finish line a few metres away. But there's a catch to it. The girls will be sitting on our backs. Pin and Jacky came up with this sick idea.

Guys below, girls on top.

Me and Alvin not daring to look up. Boh bin la. Sorry girls. Not my idea.

The next games involved water balloons. A team would throw a balloon to another team using a towel. And the other team must catch it with a towel also. My team lost - again. To Pin's team. Neither teams didn't manage to catch any balloons. The second match between Pin's team and Jacky's team was more entertaining. They caught most of the balloons. In the end, Jacky's team won.

My team.

The blue towel is mine.

After that, we threw the remaining water balloons around. And some of them frolicked in the sea. I decided to stay dry, thank you very much.

Did I say frolicking in the sea?

After that, we decided to get started on food. Guess what we had. Typical beach outing usually involve BBQ. But if you guessed BBQ, Then you're WRONG!

We had..

Steamboat.

Makan time!

Yeah. We had steamboat. Pin's idea to do something not-so-ordinary. And BBQ not healthy la. Ahaha.

Nothing much after that. Chatting, hanging around, taking pics, etc etc. The three girls got bored and asked Chin Hoong to send them back. So I decided to go along lar. Tired already.

Chin Hoong and the ladies (really sorry, no names).

That's pretty much all. The thing itself is more fun than what I wrote here. Not very good in describing stuffs.

The guy that made all this possible - TAN KOK PIN.

Group pic taken by Chin Hoong.

At the back - Jacky, me.
Centre - Kel, Pei YIng, Hui Hui, Evonne, Sze Ching and the girls (sorry once again).
Squatting - Alvin, Daniel,Pin.

Iron Man is a Man-Doll!

2008-05-02T00:24:00.001+08:00

Ahaha went to watch "Iron Man" yesterday.

Started off the day by goin to Mahindarama Buddhist Temple for spring cleaning. Picked Chu Kuan up from Sunshine Jelutong because he can't drive his baru-kena-langgar car. Nothing eventful happened in MBT. Me and Chu Kuan taught some lil kiddies how to clean the Bodhi Tree area properly. There was Puja chanting later on but I skipped it with Wil Sern and Sean to chat. After that, we sat through the committee's meeting *busybody*. Helped them plan a few things and that's it. Went to lunch with Chu Kuan at New World Park. That's where I got my call from The Star Education Fund. Ahaha even the food there tasted better after the call.

Sin Sei Kai.

Dropped Chu Kuan home after that. Saw his car parked outside the apartment. Not that badly damaged la actually. He said the other guy's brand new two month old Vios suffered heavier damage.

Well went to pick up Eiven and Chong Yen after that. Went to my place for a while for a quick bath. Then headed to Queensbay. We went to the cinema. Didn't expect to watch "Iron Man" as it's a new movie and we didn't book any tickets. Just tried our luck and went to ask whether are there any spare tickets left. The person behind the counter said yes and we fast fast go line up buy. There you go. Three tickets to "Iron Man" at 1610 hours. No prior booking. Lady Luck smiled on me all day yesterday I think.

Iron Man.

The movie was great. Hilarious at times. But the action scenes were just so-so. And Iron Man flies like a penguin. It's true. The only not-so-good part is when you see him taking off or landing. He poses like a freakin' penguin. So not cool OK.

Anyways we left Queensbay after the movie and headed back to Island Glades for dinner. We decided to have US Pizza coz Eive has coupons that we can use.

Ordered a large pizza and got another one free. The bill totalled up to RM34.45. That's two large pizzas. And a very full stomach. Worth every cent of it.

After that dropped them off and went home.

Happy happy joy joy =)

The Devil doesn't want me to save.

2008-04-30T16:38:00.003+08:00

If y'all read me previous entry, I've pledged to save more money from now onwards. Now let me redefine the term "now".

By "now", I mean after the start of the new semester i.e. 5th May onwards. Hahaha. Since 5th May isn't until next Monday, I can still spend!

Therefore tomorrow I'm gonna go watch "Iron Man" with Yen and Eiven. And on Friday I have an outing with my classmates at the beach. *ka chingg*

Please 5th May don't come so early. My willpower isn't strong enough =(

Anyways I went to INTI just now to get an enrolment form and also my new timetable. Dammit the new timetable so packed OK. Everyday either end at 4PM, 5PM or 6PM. Here's a rough idea of it.

Mondays my class starts at 0800 hours. Class ends at 1800 hours. Two hour break from 1200 hours till 1400 hours.

Tuesdays 0900 hours till 1800 hours. One hour break from 1100 hours till 1200 hours and also from 1500 hours till 1600 hours. That makes it two hours break.

Wednesdays its 1000 hours till 1600 hours. Break from 1200 hours till 1300 hours.

Thursdays starts at the same time as Wednesdays but ends an hour later. Break from 1400 hours till 1500 hours. I'm gonna starve to death I think.

Friday is exactly like Wednesday.

Darn it last semester I have Wednesdays off. No off days this time. I also found out that the lil kiddies that are gonna start their first semester have no off days also. But their classes eceryday will be shorter with longer breaks I think. I lenjoyed my Wednesdays off last time. Study for two days then rest for a day. Then another two days followed by the weekends. Luckily I have no classes on Saturdays. Phew.

Having a small dilemma coz the results for The Star Education Fund interview isn't out yet. Therefore I dunno whether I should pay my fees yet or not. Ms Hema asked me to ask the Scholarship Unit about it. Next time d lar I guess.

Mari kita menabung.

2008-04-30T11:09:00.003+08:00

Last year, before my year end trip to Genting, I had saved up till RM500+. Then I took RM200 out for the trip. So I should have approximately RM300 left. Now, my spare wallet that houses my savings is totally EMPTY. Thinking back, I can't remember what I spent RM300 on. Between the time after I came back from Genting and March, RM300 disappeared from the wallet. And I seriously can't remember where it went.

Gone baby gone.

The 500 bucks I saved was when my parents gave me RM20 a week. Now I'm on RM30 a week but I can't seem to save any at all. College life is more taxing on my wallet I think.

Oh well no use crying over spilt milk, aite? Must look to the future.

My plans :

Save at least half my weekly allowance, that is RM15 per week.
Any outing that involves a lot of money, expect your invitation to be declined (if my willpower is strong enough la).
Eat less. The food in INTI doesn't tear holes in my pocket. It freakin' rips my pockets apart.
Spend more time at home.
Spend only RM50 a month on outings.
If I save less than RM15 a week, must make up for it in the following week i.e. RM16 must be saved next week if I only managed RM14 this week.

OK so there we go. And I urge y'all to save with me. For a rainy day.

Raindrops on window.

Pledge with me to save!

Cheers!

=)

Results.

2008-04-29T16:52:00.002+08:00

Went to INTI today for my results. Wanted to go at around 1000 hours coz sis asked me to go earlier. But then I overslept and woke up at 1200 hours. Bathed and drove off to INTI almost immediately. Once I reached, I saw Chin Hoong in front of the lift and we went to the exam unit together. My results turned out like this :

CSC167 Introduction To Computer Systems & Programming A
EGE161 Basic Electrical Technology A-
MAT164 Engineering Mathematics 1 A
ENL162 Technical English A

My first thought was, "OK la. No fail. No complaints." Then I saw some thing below my grades.

A:70 - 100
A-:67 - 69

Blardy hell! Means I'm only about 3 marks away from straight A's! 3 FUH-REAKIN' MARKS! Because of this 3 marks I got an "A-" for EGE161.

I am bloody pissed. Yes I am.

Screwed.

2008-04-28T20:32:00.002+08:00

Had my Star Education Fund interview today. It was pretty much..disastrous. The Star people informed me to be at INTI at 1130 hours. I got there at 1110 hours coz I was afraid there's not gonna be place for me to park the spacious Kenari. Forgot that half the college is still away on holiday and only HSC people have resumed studying. Anyways parked nicely and proceeded to the reception. Just sat there and waited till it's my turn. There was about 7 other people waiting at that time. Met Jon Toh and talked to him a bit.

I realized that most of the applicants were out of the interview room in 10 minutes or so, despite Marcus telling me that his lasted 45 minutes. Maybe they do things differently in Ampang. Anyways name was called at approximately 1210 hours.

The Principal of INTI, Dr Mike Yap (Michael, actually) and a representative from The Star was there. As soon as I entered Dr Mike left the room for a while for some unknown reason. The Star guy (which I shall call Hugo for the rest of this post to make life simpler for myself) asked me why I didn't wanna do Form 6. Apart from that he also complimented my SPM results. Somehow they misread it and thought I scored straight A's. Corrected them.

Didn't really talk much during the whole thing. They flipped through my application letter a lot. Here's some of the questions they asked.

Dr Mike : You say here that you're determined. Why do you say so?

Me : *mumbles some crap* (since the "determined" thing was crap also)

Dr Mike : You also say that your father is experiencing financial constraints. Then how did he manage to put your sister through college?

Me : Err..err.. Dad managed to, somehow. And also my uncles and aunts chipped in some money. (the "uncles and aunts" part was total bullcrap)

Hugo : It says here your father is a site supervisor. Maybe he had a side income?

Me : *shrugs*

Hugo : Is that a "no" or a "don't know"?

Me : Err.. Don't know.
____________________________________________________________________

The second question there screwed me up pretty badly. Only when I reached home I remembered, sis was on PTPTN loan!! Should have mentioned that! Darn it. At least that's true OK. They probably saw through the lie when I mentioned the uncles and aunts nonsense. Even I wasn't gonna be fooled by such ridiculous answers. Blah. After a short while they told me I can leave and only successful applicants will bo notified in about a week or two. The whole thing lasted about 10 minutes, according to Toh.

Let's forget about all that. Tomorrow I'll be going to INTI again to collect my results for my Semester 1 exams. Wish me luck aite. Don't wanna fail. Hahahaha. Obviously.

Bye!

Of Forbidden Kingdoms and expensive food.

2008-04-27T01:10:00.002+08:00

Aite started the day off by going to the airport to pick sis and friends up.

Then went to fetch Joel before heading to the Rifle Club to fetch Teo. Then straight off to Gurney. Parked and met up with Yiks. Bought tickets to "The Forbidden Kingdom". Saw Janicia working at GSC also. Next went to BBQ Chicken for lunch. Food good but service sucks. We asked the waitress which chicken is whose and she had to refer to the menu to see what is it. And we also had to get our knives and forks from the next table. Anyways to sum it all up it was good food. Money well spent once again but I want my 10% service charge back. Will definitely go back again. Yau pheng, yau leng, yau cheng.

So we paid the bill and headed for the cinema. Was late a bit but the movie haven't started yet. The start of the movie was quite typical. Boy gets bullied. Forced to do bad things. Boy gets some task. Travels back in time to ancient China where the people speak English. Well I won't tell more here. Watch it for yourself if you wanna know what it's like. The movie is worth watching. Exciting and quite funny. Oh yea and the movie is rated 'U' (untuk tontonan umum) but Teo and Yiks managed to turn it into some sick 18SX show. Shame on you, boys, shame on you. Here are a few things I learnt from the movie :

If you were gonna try and summon rain, open your eyes wide.
This is strike, tommorow teach you to block(this is damn lawak).
Drowning yourself in wine doesn't make you immortal.
Some girls like to play with whips :D
Kung fu begins with deception.
The one who speaks doesn't know, the one who knows doesn't speak (this is something I REALLY learnt).
Jet Li can't speak English to save his life, that's why they cast him as the Silent Monk.
All Jasons have no skills (this is true also).

After the movie we spent some time in the arcade and also played pool. Yiks and I teamed up to pwn their asses.

After that, paid for parking (7 freaking bucks) and left Gurney. Went to Ribs coz some asses said the food there is quite cheap and nice. Apparently the new definition of "cheap" is about RM20 - Rm30. Anyways I only have coins left in my wallet now after dinner. Real cheap stuff. Pffft. I ordered the cheapest they have there (who goes to a steak house and orders spaghetti?? Loser.). And also chocoalte milkshake. Well the food wasn't bad but for 30 bucks I expected more. Service was great though. I prefer lunch. Better, cheaper.

After dinner we (more like I) drove around and ended up at Esplanade where we saw Ooi Eng Lye. Lol. We sat down at the kopitiam or whatever you wanna call it and just talked. Long time no chat with Teo and Yiks already. Who ask you both to live so far la. Hahaha. No details here. Dropped them off after that and reached home at around 12. Then I typed this. Hahaha I'm fast, am I not?

Oh ya another pointless fact. Learnt that Yiks' sis is hot property around Disted. Teo! Let's go for it! LOL.

See ya'll around.

P/S : When Joel or Jason Teo Chia Jung tell you that food is cheap, don't ever trust them. I speak through experience. Trust me.

Star Education Fund Scholarship Awards.

2008-04-23T22:48:00.003+08:00

I know Marcus got his call for the interview already. So was wondering when am I gonna get MY call. Damn worried I wont get the call. My life depends on this scholarship. It's the only one I applied for apart from the JPA. And there's only a 0.00001% chance that I'll get the JPA so I'm left with only this. Anyways these few days had been quite boring. Nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Went out with whole family today for lunch. One of those rare occasions where we eat out during the weekdays. Why, you ask? Coz it's my sister's birthday! Went to Starview for lunch. Down with flu so can't really taste the food well. *sigh* Anyways after that, we went to Queensbay for a short while to pick up some things. Sis needs some stuff to bring to Langkawi for her trip. Shampoo, this and that. Before I entered Watson's, my phone rang. KL number. The conversation went like this :

Me : Hello.

Stranger : Is this Mr. Lee?

Me : Yea this is him speaking.

Stranger : I'm calling to inform you about your Star Education Fund interview. It'll be held on the 28th April. In INTI International College Penang. The time is 11.30 am.

Me : Wow. OK. Thanks.

Stranger : Bye.

Me : Bye.
____________________________________________________________________

Pray for me y'all.

Anyways since sis is going to Langkawi I get full control of the ever spacious Kenari till Saturday. Any outings planned gimme a call. Book me now before it's too late. xD You can reach me anytime at 016-******* (ask me personally). By the way I'm booked tomorrow (24th April) morning and noon but hey, there's still the night. LOL. I don't think I'm available on Friday as well. And I did receive a text from Teo for a movie on Saturday. Hahaha that means Ive got my hands full all of this week. Awhh. Nevermind nevermind. There's still next week, guys! But do be fast and text me.

If anybody reading this has attended a Star Education Fund interview please leave a comment and let me know what sorts of questions do they ask. Have no clue what to prepare for. Thanks bunch!

Post-Exam Madness

2008-04-22T11:58:00.005+08:00

Since my exams ended, I went out every single day. A new record for me coz I'm usually the type that guai guai stay at home and sleep wan. So what have I been up to?

Thursday 17th April.

- After exam went to Quuensbay for early dinner with mum and sister. Then went for long overdue haircut.

- At night went to INTI hostel to pick up Cuan and Chin Hoong. Proceeded to Sunshine Square for KFC as Cuan haven't had dinner yet.

- Went to Pin's house. Cuan announced that he won't be continuing in INTI anymore. Parents want him to do Form 6. SAD.

- Me and Chin Hoong played Monopoly on the XPS. Cuan and Pin 1v1 DoTA. Kel helped Pin(does it still count as a 1v1?).

- Chit chat and took pictures till about 0030 hours the next morning before leaving.

- Received call from sister to photostat IC for some apparent reason.

- Dropped Cuan(for the last time) and Chin Hoong at hostel.

- Went to Ivory opposite USM. Wanted to photostat at 7-11 but the cashier said the machine was outta order.

- Emergency call to Kel. Went to his house to scan IC and print. Sorry Kel for the inconvenience caused.

- So darn worried I might not make it back home coz the fuel indicator on my spacious Kenari was stuck at "E".

- Went to the petrol station near Gembira to fill her up.

- Got home at 0130 hours.

Friday 18th April.

- Woke up and lunched at home.

- Picked up Eiven, Siew, Yen and Jun Guan.

- Queensbay for movie. After a moment of indecisiveness, Eiven bought the tix for "Over Her Dead Body" eventhough we agreed to watch either "Forbidden Kingdom" or "Definitely, Maybe".

- Laughed myself silly in the cinema.

- Dropped Siew and Jun Guan coz they have to be home for dinner.

- Went to Batu Lanchang market for dinner. Called Joel to join us but he declined.

- Went to Yen's house for a few rounds of PS2. I miss that place. It's like a second home to me xD

- Played till around 2330 hours. Would have stayed longer but I forgot to bring house keys along and therefore there is a huge possibility of being locked out of the house.

- Got home by midnight. House all dark and windows all shut. This means trouble.

- Messaged sister to ask her to open door(best alternative). Reply was.. "Not coming home for the night." SHIT.

- No choice but to call Dad. He sounded awake *phew* Told him I'm downstairs already and that I didn't have keys. He opened door for me and nagged a little. No complaints here.

- Online a bit till 0130 hours before sleeping.

Saturday 19th April. (Balik Pulau for some activity I dunno what it's called. Just spectating.)

- Woke up at 0600 hours and got ready. Messaged Joel to inform him that I'm all set.

- Walked down to guardhouse to wait for him. He's never early when picking me up, that one.

- Surprisingly only Joel was in the car. No Mel to be seen. Joel says will pick her up after picking Rebecca, Mel's friend, as she isn't ready yet.

- Went to pick up Rebecca and watermelons.

- Picked up Mel.

- Stopped by Jelutong 7-11 for some ice.

- Went to Super Tanker to pick up some breakfast for everybody except me. My stomach doesn't agree with me when I have breakfast. Mel had to tell Rebecca about the fake health freak thing. Blah.

- Went to wait outside INTI for the van as we have no idea how reach the destination (Kompleks Sukan Balik Pulau). The last time I set foot there was in Form 2.

- Watched as they ate in the car outside INTI.

- Everybody here? Off to Balik Pulau.

- Got there and waited for the games to start. There's Ultimate Frisbee, Captain Ball and Floorball. Mel and Rebecca played Captain Ball.

- Me and Joel just watched for the side as the games commenced.

>>Fast forward to after the games<<

- Left the sports complex.

- Went to the market area for Balik Pulau famous laksa. Can only watch and smell since I was stuffed with Tomyam Mee in the complex. Sheesh. Who's fault harrr??

- Left Balik Pulau.

- Joel took the wrong route and we went one big round. Idiot.

- Finally got home at about 1630 hours.

- Bathed and got ready for buffet party at Yik Sean's house.

- Left home for Air Itam at about 1715 hours. Picked up Yen and Eiven on the way.

- Reached the mansion. Was the first ones there.

- Joe Jin, Kia and Wen Ping arrived shortly after.

- Chatted outside his house for quite some time while directing traffic into his mansion. Paiseh wanna go inside.

- Wanted to wait for Joel and Terrence (back in Penang for the weekend) to arrive but Yik Sean's parents insisted we start eating. So when they arrived they said I didn't wait for them =.=

- After food, more chatting. Started to play cards. Went there with 4 red notes and came back with 5 =)

- Me and Terrence slept at about 0200 hours while the others (Yik Sean, Teo, Joe, Yen, Kia, Eiven, and Joel) continued till about 0430 hours.

- Left at about 1000 hours on Sunday morning.

A/N : Sounds like a long Saturday huh?

- Met up with Pin.

- They bought some stuffs. I was there only to lau juak and khek bak seo.

- Left PISA for Pin's house. Kel helped install his new RAM.

- Went back to Kel's house. Drove home. Got ready for Youthwave at Mel's church.

- Joel picked me up at 1835 hours. Went to Georgetown Baptist Church on empty stomach. Terrence originally said he'll follow Joel but last minute said he'll go himself. The first thing that came to my mind was that he'll PPK. Manazhai he did come. Pleasant surprise. Hahaha.

- Onlined whole day.

- Went out for supper at EGate again. Terrence going back to KL the next day. Slurpee and Subways. Subways kinda expensive but it was money well spent. Good stuff.

- Went home at about 2330 hours as Terrence had a plane to catch a plane at 0830 hours the next morning.

- Went back online and decided to change my MSN email. I hereby announce that xnew000@hotmail.com will no longer be in use. Add me at lee.yi-wen@hotmail.com.

Bye.

Semester 1 - DEE - IICP

2008-04-18T12:43:00.003+08:00

Hahahhahahahahahah.. Exams are over. Semester 1 completed. Here's a short summary of my first three months in INTI. My first two days there can be read here.

On my second day there when my class ended early, I went to the cafeteria to makan lo. Since it's only my second day there and I dunno nobody in my class, it's only natural I sat alone. After a while, I was joined by a few dudes whom I know are from my class. They sat down beside me and we started talking and joking. After that day, we ( as in me, Chin Hoong, Wencuan, Kelvin and Kok Pin ) has formed a little gang of five. Thru' thick and thin. LOL.

Anyways here are a few things that I have achieved in my first semester.

- Got into hot water. A little thingy came up with the admin.
- Learnt a lot of new stuffs, obviously.
- Went to some teambuilding camp organised by some student organisation named INTIMA.
- Played paintball! Near death experience, I tell you.
- Got to know a bunch of really great people, namely :
- Wong Chin Hoong : sua teng lang with the heart of gold, a few hours older than me. When wanna fetch me, Mi Chi Lao Shu?
- Poh Wencuan : red man man, mainlander, EGE genius. One day will go visit you.
- Tan Kok Pin : PBP, biker gang thau, Maths theen choi. Ride bike more careful lar.
- Kelvin Tan : CSC tian chai, our driver, stingy rich ass. Pai hami ******* seh?
- Learnt how to play table tennis.
- Learnt to deal with the fact that not a lot of girls take up engineering T_T ( perhaps the most saddening fact EVER. )

And a few other things I shall keep private. LOL. Next update will hopefully be about post-exam celebrations, provided I get the pictures.

Now let's PARTAAAAAYYY!

Two birthdays. Let's start with the Yen's and Mou's.

Saturday night. 5th April '08. Joe's crib. Surprise BBQ.

Got Joel to give me a lift to Sungai Ara. Petrol expensice kays. Haha. Stopped by at Melissa's to pick up chicken, mee goreng and herself. Then off to the the party place. Got there at approximately 1900 hours. Called Joe for help to carry things (three bags of charcoal, chicken, mee goreng, snacks etc) . Helped set things up.

Sorry for the short sentences but there's nothing really interesting before the start of the party.

The high point was when me and Kia conducted a mini survey asking people's opinions whether Joe's slippers are pink or red. We agreed it's..err..not red. Moving on..

The guests of honour arrived at about 2030 hours. The opening of presents were done right after they arrived. We're teens. We do things our way. After that there were just lotsa chatting and hanging out. Eiven was the one in charge of cooking. I was watching him cook from behind. Honestly that's pretty much all. I didn't mix around much. Stood mainly by the pit and only ate the mee goreng (Don't say I boh hor bin you ar Melissa. I ate your mee goreng.) . Not a fan of barbecued stuffs. Didn't even have cake. And because of this I got labelled as a "health freak". By two girls. Pffffft. There were lotsa laughter though. I seriously can't think of anything else that happened that night. Don't even have pictures. Sorry! Was quite bored la honestly because some friends were occupied with other people I'm not close with. So ma didn't hang out with them lo. That's why I stayed near the pit for the whole night. But it was quite enjoyable there la. No complaints as long as there's something humorous. A lot of teasing. I might be mean after all =P

Second party. Kok Pin's.

Monday evening. Around 1830 hours. INTI rooftop. Some sort of a surprise also.

Kays I didn't have a hand in planning this one but it was way crazier, messier and wilder. There was only about 10 people present so I can remember all the details as if it just took place this evening. Oh wait, it DID take place just this evening. Hahaha. Pardon my lame joke attempt. Alright after class ended at 1800 hours, Chin Hoong got a call from Evonne. Evonne asked Chin Hoong to pass the phone to Kok Pin. She told him that she left something at the main entrance of the college and asked him to keep it for her. When we got there, there was a Nokia bag sitting innocently on one of the chairs near the entrance. Inside was a note that went something llike this..

"Tan Kok Pin, if you have read this means you kena tipu already. Go to the place where you gave me this note. "

Apparently that note was given to Evonne by Kok Pin sometime ago. So we proceeded to climb six (6) flights of stairs to the library. On top of the rack where we put our bags was a paper labelled "TAN KOK PIN". Behind the note was a package and another note telling Kok Pin to go to the rooftop. As we ascended the stairs to the rooftop, there was a cake sitting on top of a table, but with nobody to be seen. We explored the area a bit and saw Evonne, Sze Ching and Jackie hiding somewhere waiting to ambush Kok Pin with some spraying thingy. Kok Pin easily spotted them and tried to make a run for it. I grabbed him and they subsequently sprayed him mad. After that we were joined by Kelvin, Alvin and Daniel. They're old school friends of Pin's. Daniel does not even study in INTI. We picked him up at 1400 hours to help get Pin's present and didn't drop him back. Instead he followed us to INTI where he waited in the library for two hours. Hahaha. And he was so scared the guards were gonna halau him.

Back to the party.

I was looking away when the took two slices of cake and literally stuck them onto Pin's face. It was stuck there long enough for them to take some pics. After Pin cleaned up, we sang the birthday song and he cut the birthday cake (duh) . Pin then exacted revenge by making sure everybody had some cake on their faces. Only Kelvin was not on the receiving end as he fought bravely against Pin. Lol. After that Pin opened his presents. Evonne, Chin Hoong and Sze Ching made him promise to use the present they bought for him. And it turned out to be.. a Hello Kitty wallet. As I have mentioned before, girls are not just pretty faces. Hahaha. His other present is from us guys namely myself, Wencuan, Kelvin, Daniel and Chin Hoong. I shall not reveal what it was on this blog. Hahaha. All I have to say is that we went all the way to Prangin Mall to get it. Even Kelvin the Stingy didn't mind driving all the way there from INTI and back to get it. WOW. After that there was just a lot of fooling around and picture-taking. Went home after that. Thanks Chin Hoong for the ride!

That's all about the parties. Had fun in both of them. The one on Saturday was clean fun. The one on Monday was wild fun. Hahaha.

Will try to post up the pics from both parties if I can. Dunno where to get Saturday's pics but can definitely get Monday's.

To end this post..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHONG YEN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOK PIN!

First two days of college.

2008-03-30T01:03:00.002+08:00

The other day I was told that Terrence entered a wrong class and didn't know about it. That reminded me of something similar that happened to me when I first started at INTI.

On my first day, which is Thursday 3rd January, my timetable stated that I have a class at 0800 hours till 1100 hours. So I entered the lecture room. Surprisingly, most of the other students there seem to know each other quite well eventhough for us Semester 1 students, it's supposed to be only our first day there. Later on the lecturer passed around a sheet of paper that was supposed to be filled with our name, course enrolled and semester. I didn't immediately realise that I'm the only Sem 1 guy there. When the paper had made its way back to the lecturer, she immeditaly asked who is in the first semester there. I ma gong gong put up my hand lor. She came over and started talking to me.

Lecturer : Are you sure you're in the right class?

Me : Err I think so. It says so on my timetable.

Lecturer : *examines timetable* Hmm..You just finished SPM?

Me : Yea.

Lecturer : Do you know what class is this?

Me : *shakes head*

Lecturer : It's a BM class.

Me : Errr..

Lecturer : You're SPM results not out yet, right?

Me : Yup.

Lecturer : So you got in here based on your forecast results?

Me : *nods*

Lecturer : Whats did you get for BM in your forecast?

Me : Errr.. A1.

Lecturer : Then you're not supposed to be here! This class is for those who failed to get credit for BM in their SPM. You got A1 come for what?

Me : Errr...Really?

Lecturer : Yes. When your official results come out and your BM didn't get credit then you will take this class next semester.

Me : So.. What do I do now?

Lecturer : You go ask the lady at the reception.

Me : Okays. So I can go now?

Lecturer : Yes.

Leaves room. End of scene.
____________________________________________________________________

So after sorting things out, it turns out that every other classmate of mine knew about that class that we're not supposed to go to except for me. Why? Because I skipped the orientation to go for my driving exam(which I passed). Hahaha. So I ended up making a fool outta myself just because I wanted to drive. Dammit. And there was another thing that I didn't know about the classes because I missed the orientation. The lab sessions will not take place until we move into the new building. My timetable stated that we're supposed to have an electronics lab session on Thursday 1600 hours till 1800 hours. Luckily a classmate told me about it during Maths(1400 hours - 1600 hours). Here is a short timeline(or whatever you call it) on my first day at INTI.

0800 hours - 1100 hours : Supposedly MPW. Left after 15 minutes.
0815 hours - 0900 hours : Sorted out stuffs.
0900 hours - 1200 hours : Wandered around the building. Lunch. Next class is at 1200 hours.
1200 hours - 1400 hours : Maths class.
1400 hours - 1600 hours : Supposedly break. Went home early because lab session scheduled for 1600 hours till 1800 hours was non existant.

Therefore on the first day, I waited for about 3 hours. More to come below.
____________________________________________________________________

The second day, I had CSC and Technical English. CSC was from 0800 hours till 1000 hours while English took up the next two hours.

The English lecturer took 15 minutes to explain to us the course structure. Then guess what happened next. SHE ENDED THE CLASS RIGHT THERE AND THEN. A two hour class cut short into 15 minutes. I ended up waiting another 1 hour and 45 minutes before my parents could come pick me up. It prompted my sister's friend to say, "So kesian your bro la. First two days nia must wait so long already. "

That's all about my first two days in college. Nothing memorable. *curses*

Remember, boys and girls. ALWAYS attend the orientation. Or you might end up being somewhere you're not supposed to be.

I hope you all had fun laughing. Bye.

Sisters - They crack you up big time.

2008-03-25T20:30:00.002+08:00

Last night something hilarious happened at home. At about 2300 hours, I was in the living room. Then I heard somebody shut the bathroom door. Ok before I recreate the scene let me explain to ya'll the details. My younger sister is twelve. At 2300 hours last night, she was already asleep.

Dad : Who went into the bathroom?

Aunt : It's Ah Tyng lar. She woke up and blur blur thought it's time for school already. So she went to bathe.

Dad : Adoi. *bangs on bathroom door* Oi you silly girl. Still early la. Not time to go to school yet. Faster come out go sleep.

The end.
____________________________________________________________________

As my dad ushered the lil brat out of the bathroom, I was laughing my head off all the way from the living room. LOL.

Somebody told me that Yen's doodle makes me look mentally unsound. True or not true? Please comment. And do try your best to go easy on me if you do agree with her. I'm fragile aite.

That's all for now. Short post coz got test tomorrow.

The family pet.

2008-03-23T23:59:00.003+08:00

This conversation took place a couple of weeks ago. I was complaining to my mum that I don't have enough room for myself in my room, which is shared by myself, bratty little sister and my aunt. I sleep on a mattress on the floor while the ladies share a bed on top. Most of the time, my work table has been taken up by my laptop. So whenever I wanna do some written work, I have to move my precious laptop elsewhere, which is kinda troublesome because there isn't much space around me as well.

That's where I sleep at night. The one at the bottom lar.

Scene 1 - Mum walks into room.

Me : Room no space already la. No place to do work after putting laptop here. Need. Own. Room.

Work table with barely any space left.

Mum : Aiyah can la. Move some things around ma can lo.

Me : Cannot la. Tried already. Nothing works. Get a BIGGER house!

Mum : Aih can la. Throw away all unwanted things la. Full of garbage here.

Me : It's all your daughter's. Go tell her. She won't listen to me.

Mum : Okok.

End of Scene 1 as Mum leaves room.
____________________________________________________________________

Scene 2 - Living room with parents.

Mum : Ei, you say no room right? Maybe we can renovate the place and put a wall around the balcony. Then it can be your room.

Me : Huh? Sleep in the balcony? That's just miserable wei.

The balcony that almost became my bedroom.

Mum : Aiyah better than nothing la. Want or not?

Me : *speechless*

End of Scene 2.
____________________________________________________________________

Scene 3 - Living room again later that day.

Me : You said wanna let me sleep in balcony??

Mum : See first lorr. You want ah?

Me : Aiyohhhh. I just thought of it. Like that ma siang ka kau ah neh khuan! (Translation : isn't it like being a dog!)

Mum : Ahahahahahahahaha!

Me : *shakes head*

End of Scene 3.
____________________________________________________________________

So there you go. I have been demoted from the family's only son to the family pet. *pumps fist in jubilation*

If I was living in ancient China then different lar. People back then adored the sons. *sigh* I was born a few centuries too late.

SEGi College took him away.

2008-03-22T17:10:00.001+08:00

Tuesday night. 18th March 2008. The whole gang's final outing with Terrence Teh Hooi Meng. Our poikee kia is leaving Penang for KL, where he will be studying in SEGi College Subang. Melissa, Joel and Alyssa planned a surprise farewell dinner at Faces for him. Since it's a surprise, Joel can only fetch Melissa, Terrence and the cake. That means that Joe Jin, Chong Yen, Mou Jian, Yik Sean, Jason and Kiatisak have to find another way to get to Tanjung Tokong. Naturally, the only guy that has a car at his disposal carries the burden of fetching the rest. And guess who that LUCKY person is. Hahaha. Well I managed to fetch all of them except for Mou Jian. A Kenari isn't designed to carry 7 people plus the driver, yo. Even 6 is pushing it already. Poor Kenari. So many people in it. And not to mention what those crazy idiots are doing at the back there. They probably left stains on my seats! Shucks.

I left home at about 1900hours on that night, I think. The initial plan was to pick Joe Jin and Chong Yen up from Joe's crib(Sungai Ara, yo). Was hesitant, but I agreed to do it eventually. You know la, bagi muka sama itu Terrence. Celaka mia budak. BUT, Kia decided to come after initially saying no. So, Joe and Yen were at his house(Taman Pekaka!) after a kickabout in INTI. Therefore my eventual trip to Sungai Ara was cancelled. Kia's a lifesaver! After picking the three of them up, made a detour to Air Itam to pick up our siu yeh chai, Yik Sean. Tumpang toilet at his mansion. LOL. My last 'package' was Jason from Rifle Range. After that, we're off to Tanjung Tokong!

Let's skip the long journey there, shall we? I'm sure you guys don't wanna know what happened at the back of my car along the way. Let's just say there was a prince. And the prince had a slave. End of short, disgusting story.

When we arrived at Faces, PFN 9707 was nowhere in sight. Sticking to the original 'surprise farewell' plan, we waited at the parking lot for them(as in Joel, Melissa and Terrence) to arrive. Joel is such a slow driver. Only had to pick up 2 people and a cake but still so late only reach. It's not like he has to turn into Air Itam. Hahahaha. Floor it la next time, wei. Nevertheless our favourite Proton Wira arrived approximately 300 seconds later.

We watched from the bushes(yes, seriously) as the three of them walked into Faces. After giving them enough time to settle down, we entered the place. Ohh, you should've seen the look on Terrence's face when he saw us there. PRICELESS, I tell you. We fooled around and chatted a bit(actually it's A LOT) before ordering. Terrence had his usual Fish and Chips to go with an Arnold Schwarzenegger(it's a drink). Our resident siu yeh chai ordered the most. Can't remember what he had but it's more than the others. All I remember is that he ordered a gargantuan Love all for himself. It's meant to be shared la, you greedy ass. I still have the receipt but lazy la wanna go check. Maybe next time, okay? Joe and Yen sat beside each other and ordered the same exact things(something fishy going on there, no?). Joel had lamb chop and shared a gargantuan Arnold Schwarzenegger with Melissa. Among other drinks ordered were Michelle Yeoh by Jason, Erra Fazira by Kia and a can of Tiger beer shared by siu yeh chai and Mou Jian(who by the way got Mdm. Khor to fetch him there). That's all I remember about the food. There's 12 people at the table yo. I can't possibly remember what everybody had! Oh ya, Terrence was visibly upset that Faces didn't have Alyssa Lim on the menu. Hahaha.

After food, more chatting. More picture taking. I brought a camera too but the battery died in me after I took 10 shots. Darn. The rest of the pictures are with Melissa, I believe. Must get it from her sometime(gotta get to know her first though). Oh and I forgot to mention. Melissa and Alyssa came up with a plan to embarrass Terrence. Melissa made a paper crown for Terrence and made him wear it the whole night. If he took it off at all, Joe was there cracking his knuckles. So the poor kid didn't really have a choice. LOL. Girls can be pretty diabolical sometimes, apart from just being pretty. *shivers* After some time we had the waitresses clear the table so that the RM73.50 Chocolate Indulgences from Secret Recipe could be served. Whoever that cut the cake isn't very good at it, I must say. We ate half of it on the spot, and Terrence took home the rest. It wasn't very desirable after it was cut, really. LOL. After cake, more fooling around. After that, paid and split the bill(RM206.60 in total).

That's pretty much all about the night. The Kenari only had 5 people in it(including me) on the journey back. Joe and Kia followed the slow Wira while Mou Jian came along in the Kenari. I didn't really drop them of straight away. I don't wanna provide the specifics about where we went. it can be concluded with one word : BOUSH. That's all.

Here are some pictures I managed to take before my camera went kaput. Have fun!

Melissa helping Terrence put on his crown by stapling it together.
King Of The Night - Terrence Teh Hooi Meng.

Some older pictures I have of the King.

Goodbye, Terrence. You'll always be one of my best buddies. Your presence will be missed here in Penang. All the best and take care. Keep in touch. Must give me a call whenever you're back in the island. Don't forget to remember us, yea. OR ELSE..
