Hi everyone,
Well, I know it's been a long time again since I didn't update my blog. But here's what happened during the past few months.
October
Well, it's my birthday month. (^^) my friends and I celebrated by going to the Red Box karaoke in Sunway Pyramid. Though the bad news is, I was starting to have a sore throat. But, some how I managed to stretch my vocal cords. But really, I've enjoyed it just as I've enjoyed all the previous ones. Thanks gang.
The day before that, I had a fun time going Zorbing at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa organised by RAC Subang. It was real great fun and I've enjoyed it a lot. If only we could go for a few more rounds though. (^^")
November
Well, nothing extraordinary happened.
December
It's the ACCA exam around the corner soon. But I'm also looking forward to another activity. The District Rotaract Conference. I know I'm supposed to focus on my studies. But I just can't help looking forward for the 3 days 2 nights event. Hopefully I can take lots of pictures and share with everyone.
Well, that's all from my side.

The Good Old Days
Hi all,
Just a few days ago, I went online to check my mail as usual when I came across an interesting one from Facebook. It's a notice that one of my friends posted a picture there and I was tagged. So, I went to take a look, and found out that it was from my primary school days. Imagine getting to post replies with your old time buddies there and laugh as you read them. Just can't help it. I really miss those days. Hope all of us can meet up together again some time. Until then, take care.

Hi There ^^
I know it's been a long time I didn't put up any posts. So, here are the things that happened to me a few months ago:
July
A new term for the Rotary and Rotaract clubs. So I passed on my position as President to Calvin Khoo. Congrats and I wish him all the best for this term.
A new job as an auditor at a chartered accountants firm located at Kompleks Mutiara near Jalan Ipoh. Starts at 8.30am till 6.00pm. My supervisor and seniors are very friendly and helpful. I've learned a lot while doing my assignments.
August
Club installations galore ^^. Although I didn't attend all of them, I'm sure they were all great ones. I've attended KL, Pudu, Subang and of course, my own home club installation. I really enjoyed them.
September
Now, I'm currently trying to finish up some of my work assignments that are due. Also trying to juggle with 2 ACCA papers. Hopefully I can pass them in this term.
Well, that's all from me for now. hope to find more interesting things that I can share with everyone in the future.
Until then ^^

A soothing cut o.O?
Have you ever been into a barber shop? Where you'll hear indian music station from the radio, the air-conditioning and the steady hum of the buzzer (I don't know what they're called but I'll call them buzzers) and the snipping of the scissors. I've been to the same barber shop outside my house since young. Strangely, whenever I get my haircut there, I always get drowsy and relaxed. Guessed it's something that usually happens. Of course with the peaceful surroundings inside the barber shop, who wouldn't relax and fall asleep?
Well, at least I don't have to be scared to getting a haircut like what normal kids do when they're young. ^^
This is me before
This is me after I got my haircut

An enjoyable conference ^^
Date: 28th March 2009
Event: 4th District Rotaract Conference at Eagle Ranch Resort, Port Dickson
A conference in Port Dickson, with fun water activities and laughter. Sadly, I didn't get to enjoy the first day on the 27th which is Friday...I had a night class. I went to college the next morning, and ended up absent from the supposedly Advance Corporate Reporting class. It wouldn't look nice for the lecturer to see me leaving with my bags and stuff...especially Ms. Menon. So I went for a bit of cyber games and breakfast with my friend. Of course my luggage was kept in my friend's car till it's time to set off with Amanda around 1.30pm (thanks Billy ^^). Luckily she's working half day or else it'll be difficult to find a transport to the destination.
We picked up Kevit along the way from his home and had our lunch at Burger King. Then we continued our way the whole afternoon chatting in the car. We slowed down a few times due to accidents along the highway and typical busybody attitude of Malaysian drivers slowing down just to have a look. How long will it take them to understand that this is pointless unless they're intending to stop and help?
When we arrived to Eagle Ranch Resort, it was about 6pm and just in time to get ready for dinner. The participants of the conference were placed in the Log Dormitories which is actually a nice place to stay in with electricity, attached bathrooms and toilets and double decker beds. Of course Amanda was assigned to a different dorm so that leaves me and Kevit with 18 other dorm mates. Just as we settled down, our dorm mates returned in a wet and soggy state. They definitely had a real fun time down the nearby beach and they definitely need to use the bathrooms to get ready for the dinner. So, I waited a while since I wouldn't take long to shower.
The theme of the dinner was cowboy night, I had the proper shirt, jeans, a bandanna as the scarf, but I don't have the shoes or the hat. Turns out, I'm the only one dressed like a bandit. Kevit was dressed like a proper sheriff with a vest and cowboy hat. There was also a best cowboy and cowgirl competition. There were 3 cowgirls and 5 cowboys including myself. But I didn't win the competition. Everybody had fun strutting in their catwalk and made their best poses. There was also a birthday celebration for the District Govenor who was the guest of honour for the conference.
After the dinner, we also celebrated the Earth Hour by switching off our table lights and a night walk. Of course we had to get back to change into a proper attire and carry bug repelents. Some of my dorm mates and myself went back to get changed and was stumped as none of us had the dorm key. We found a way in through the back window which was not locked. the 9 of us got changed but only one didn't joined the walk. So the rest of us waited for someone to get the dorm key and open the door.
The night was cool, and the participants were ready. We were briefed by the resort staff and was told that there were a few spiritual beings before setting off. The resort staff brought us to the back gate, did a head count and we're on our way into the forest for our walk. There were a few other resort staffs travelling along with torchlights to show the way. We bent, squatted, went up the slopes and went down. All the while watching out and warning those behind us for branches, roots, stumps, stones, slopes and ditches. When we got out of the forest halfway, I looked to the sky and it was beautiful. A clear starry night sky which you can't find often in the city. After a while of walking, we're back into the forest and made our way back to the resort.
At the end of the walk, we're all sweaty and enjoyed ourselves. Most of the participants went out for late night Ramlee burger supper. While some hang out in the dorms to have fellowship. I only managed to last till about 12am before I had to retire to my bunk in my dorm room. I woke up the next day around 6.30am, rested for a while before freshening up myself and listened to my iPod outside the dorm. Around 7am, I went to get a shower and ready for breakfast. At that time, the guys who shared the dorm with me were still sleeping. I went ahead to the breakfast venue and was joined by few of the girls from the organising committee (Lucky me ^^). While we started to have our breakfast, there was another group of residents who had a family day at the resort entered to have breakfast as well. By the time everyone's inside, all the tables were taken save for the ones we occupied. Each table is occupied by one family.
Due to unforseen circumstances, everyone was suddenly called to wake up and got ready for the remaining programs during the day. Once prepared, the participants were motivated by the talks given by the Rotarians and there was also a forum session to discuss and suggest how to improve the District as a whole. After a short break for the participants to pack up and clear out the dorms, there was a short closing and certificate presentation ceremony. While waiting for the members of the organising committee to completely settle their issues, we had our favourite cam-whoring sessions (I wonder if such a term even exists...Lol). Followed by a drive to Seremban to have crabs or lunch. I've enjoyed the conference and really looking forward to the next one (I had so much fun that sometimes I laughed until stomach pain and I sounded like a ghost...Lol). That is, if I could attend the next conference ^^".

My Memories in HS5
Hi all,
Since I've told you guys how I was addicted to the online game Highstreet 5, I guess it's appropriate to share with you a bit of what I've been through in the game since I first join. Hope you guys enjoy the video. Although things are not as they are now but I hope everyone can still keep in touch again once in a while. I'll still play the game whenever I can as long as I'm free. (^^)

Twice touched in the heart
Today, I didn't have any plans at all as I didn't have any class as my lecturer is in China (but it may be one of those rare occasions where there's no class on a saturday T_T ). As I was playing games on the computer, Archana SMSed wondering what I was doing. Not knowing that I didn't have a class. After a short while, Khairi also SMSed asking if I wanted to go out to meet her. I asked Billy if he would like to join but he's tied down with family commitments. So, I asked Khairi to come and pick me up.
We met up with Archana in Sunway Pyramid and had lunch at McD. After that, we helped her present hunting for a married couple and a friend's birthday. And ended up buying a set of beautiful china bowls for the couple and earrings as her friend's birthday present. Since it's still early (it was around 1.45pm), we decided to catch a movie, which took a short time to consider and decide. We ended up watching "Marley and Me".
I didn't read the book before but here's a little bit about the story. It's about John and Jenny Grogan going through their lives' ups and downs with the world's worst dog, Marley. There were mostly funny scenes in the movie but near towards the end, the scene was sad and touching that I actually cried a bit (yes I did, so go ahead and laugh your heads off if you want to). I was actually surprised that Archana was surprised to see me cry (She was sitting between me and Khairi in the cinema). We did a bit of window shopping before leaving.
Then, after I reached home and had my shower and dinner, I watched "Quill" at 8.30pm on 8tv. It's a japanese movie dubbed in Cantonese about the life of Quill as a guide dog for the blind. Also near the ending of the show, I nearly cried (Strike 2 =="). Wow, got touched in the heart twice in a day. How lucky can I be...lol.

Meow o.O ?
Well...there used to be questions like "Are you a dog person or a cat person?" or "Are you a dog person ?". After much time, I think I'm a cat person ^^". The reason is this, although I have affinity towards cute animals in the pet shops, I'm always looking out for cute cats as well. Somehow, I've developed an affinity towards cats.
Just last month, two of the stray females gave birth behind my house. Giving a total of 6 kittens ^^. But now, the kittens are still not familiar with me and my family yet. Always go hiding whenever any of us appears. Now that they've moved to the porch of my house, the kittens would hide under the long dormant old VW Beetle ^^". Then, there's another kitten appeared behind my house which none of us has any idea of its origin. But even that fella is afraid of us too.
Not just only that, the kittens in my front porch managed to leave traces of their terror. Some of my mom's plants got snapped, the shoelaces on my shoes got untied and my slippers ended up on polar opposites the next day (There was once one of my slippers ended up under the VW). For the kittens in my front porch, the whole area including the flower pots is their playground. Sometimes, when I stood still, they would dash out while playing with each other and accidentally bumped into my legs, and ran back into their hiding place when they noticed who does the legs belong to when I teased them ^^.
Though they can be little nuisances, it was cute and fun to silently watch them play around. I hope that I can manage to tame some of them in the future.

Tasty CNY Dinner
Date: 13th February 2009
Event: Open house dinner at James and Joanne's place
I know it's like a month ago. But I'm a bit backlogged in my updates ^^". This event was supposed to start at 7.30pm. But I was late due to my underestimation of the time required to reach the Sri Petaling LRT station...and Calvin was there to pick me up. Therefore, both of us were late...but we're also the earliest to arrive (Kristine not included).
I waited for other guests to arrive, and started on the dinner first...because Calvin already started with a few pieces of duck...so impatient...lol. But I have to admit, the food were tasty. Then, more guests started to arrive. there's Ying Xin, Lillian, Sanjeev, Jamie, Belinda and a few of RAC Subang's guests. James and Joanne had to go out to buy more for the dinner. There's delicious Hokkien fried noodles, kuey teow and noodles mix and also tasty chicken and mutton satays(droool....)
Besides that, Kelvin Thum also prepared "limited edition" savoury ham and lettuce wraps and a big bowl of healthy salad. All of us had a real hearty dinner. Since Calvin had to leave early due to unacceptable personal reasons, he had to be punished...with a few rounds of Black Lable mixed with Coke (Luckily I didn't left early either...or else I'd be flat out on the floor already before I even leave =="). But before leaving, there's a special occasion.
It was James and Lillian's belated birthdays, it was supposed to be a surprise. Ying Xin was in charge of buying cream cakes that were meant to be mashed into their faces but her friend bought sponge cakes insted. Still, they were used to mash into the birthday boy and girl's faces anyway. After that, the real birthday cake was brought out and everyone had a share of it after the candle was blown out. It was a really fun open house and I hope there'll be more to come. ^^
What we started with...nuggets, chicken cutlets, duck and Domino's ^^
Pour the liquor...James drinking a special 12th year anniversary Black Lable kept in his place
Leaving so early...of course Calvin can't go off easily ^^"

A Fun and Happy Celebration
Date: 28th December 2008
Venue: Sanctuary Care Centre
Event: "Dear God" project and Christmas celebration
I know it was last year's stuff but I'm kind of delayed in posting it and it's worth sharing.
It was a nice sunday morning and my club is having a fun Christmas celebration with the children from Sanctuary Care Centre. So far only myself, Sharon and 2 of her guests were there. So, we talked to the caretakers and the children while waiting for Calvin and Jacqueline together with our lunch. A brief info about the home, it's a home that takes care of children aged between 4 to 16 year old who has a single parent, orphaned or abandoned. They survive on personal charity donations, recycling used items and sell used clothes to pay for the bills.
It didn't took long for our lunch to arrive and all the kids took their place at the tables while KFCs are being served (drool...^^). Everyone had a hearty lunch and settled down for the next activity...game time (Yay...!!).
The first game we played was called Hot Potato. It's a simple game where a person is given an item that was meant to be passed around while the music is being played. The one who holds the item when the music is stopped loses and has to be punished. In this case, they were required to dance. Some of the children were too shy to dance and some took a friend to dance along. They were having so much fun. Of course they can't go empty handed so a sweet was given to them.
We played a few rounds before moving on to the next game...Charades. The topic chosen was sports. Charades is something like Win, Lose or Draw but the person have to act instead of drawing. The catch...? Whichever kid that guessed correctly can ask the Rotaractors and guests to do whatever they want. In our case, we had to dance ^^". There was baseball, american football, volleyball etc. It was so much fun. Too bad for those who didn't make it because they missed seeing me and calvin dancing to hip-hop...LOL
The last game we played was Dancing Robot Game. The children will start dancing when the music is played and freeze in whatever position they're currently in when the music stops. They can't move until the music is resumed or else they're disqualified. Basically everyone was excited while playing the games. After that, it's present giving time (another Yay...!!).
Since the original Santa Clause was not around, we found a replacement which is yours truly. I can't deny it because I do have a bit of the body shape (I've got to lose weight already *sob sob*). Once all the children got their presents, it's time to open them. It was heart warming to see the innocent smiles and laughter of the children when they see their presents. After a whole day of fun and laughter, we bid farewell and had a brief lunch ourselves before going back. Although it was a tiring day, I really had fun and enjoyed it.

There was baseball, american football, volleyball etc. It was so much fun. Too bad for those who didn't make it because they missed seeing me and calvin dancing to hip-hop...LOL
The last game we played was Dancing Robot Game. The children will start dancing when the music is played and freeze in whatever position they're currently in when the music stops. They can't move until the music is resumed or else they're disqualified. Basically everyone was excited while playing the games. After that, it's present giving time (another Yay...!!).
Since the original Santa Clause was not around, we found a replacement which is yours truly. I can't deny it because I do have a bit of the body shape (I've got to lose weight already *sob sob*). Once all the children got their presents, it's time to open them. It was heart warming to see the innocent smiles and laughter of the children when they see their presents. After a whole day of fun and laughter, we bid farewell and had a brief lunch ourselves before going back. Although it was a tiring day, I really had fun and enjoyed it.

New Template (^^)
Hi there,
It's been quite some time since I've updated my blog. So, this will be my first post of the year. I've got bored of the usual templates available here so I went to look for a new one and I found this on the net. Isn't it cool? Lol
Well, I really like to watch animes if they're interesting to me. So I got one that features Bleach. (^^) I hope that I can update my blog with more posts in the future.
