New year eve night...
Where to go?
I don't have any plans now, waiting someone to invite :P
Or... Gosh...I gotta start calling people now >.<

Hohoho, at last I found someone...somewhere and something to celebrate New Year Eve today. Thanks to Penny, my close and best friend ^^

Melbourne?

Where to go after SAM? Which university am I going? What course am I taking? ..... and finally Where am i decide to go?

MELBOURNE

Why Melbourne? Why not other place? Why not study locally?

Melbourne, a city in Victoria, Australia.Most of the Asians prefer to go there than other places in Australia, which included me. I choose there because most of the famous/prestigious universities located there, the University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT... Secondly, my relatives and grandparents had migrated to Australia, and I will be staying with them (well, maybe temporary) as I could save a lot money on accommodation and food. SAM programme was recognised especially in Australia, and as you know the name of the course SAM- South Australian Matriculation. Most of the universities I applied early of the year have met all the requirements. Well, study in Australia would be a good experience for me... Why not do it locally? Hm... in term of the money part, it's cheap study here. However, I only have few choices here, and not all universities are well known, well-equipped, good environment, lecturers.... I'm not to look down or make critics on them, but as most of the people knows the education in Malaysia.. Next thing, I'm interested in science course,especially biotechnology nowadays... but here's a catch... In Malaysia, the 'bio-valley' developed too slow, and the job opportunity would be so low..I can't imagine after studied and comes out jobless...Sorry to be realistic, but WE ARE IN REALISTIC WORLD.

After took my results from Taylor's college, I head straight to IDP to settle my uni stuff. And I have decided to study in the University of Melbourne, taking the Bachelor of Science. That's all, I don't want to think anymore first...

Christmas at home

Easily get tired these days, so this year of Christmas I decided to stay at home. Take some good rest in order to settle my university applications as soon as possible. From tomorrow onwards will spend most of the time thinking, deciding which uni and course to go , and submit my results to them.

Spend whole day at home, have nice dinner with my family...

Lonely Christmas...Honey, where are you? I miss you...

SAM results officially released

Can't manage to fight the sleepy bug flying around, sleep for 2-3 hours.

'Message received: Hey Charlie, the results released already, go to the ssabsa website and check it out'. I paused awhile, the anxious and worry feelings feel into my heart. Quickly jump off from bed and online to check. However, the SSABSA website was packed with all the SAM students, desperate to check their results, included me. Tick tock.... I can't wait any longer.. then pei san told me to call direct to SSABSA. And of course i called them.

"This is SSABSA .... how can i help u?"
"I would like to know my results now."
"Can i get your personal information? ......."
"Your TER score...aha... 94.85"
"Woohoo....Thanks !!!"

I was overjoyed with the results i obtained. Although i did badly in my ESL, but i still managed to get high score... Depression healed instantly... Happiness and delight mood overwhelmed me !!! Well, my score did reached my expectation, but abit disappointed that i can't get straight A's... Parents were also happy with it, and keep saying: " Well, you did your best, don't blame yourself". But if I could...I would get better results...Sad... Well, I just had to accept it. After all, most of the universities that I had applied have reached the requirement for the TER score. No worries now ^^

SAM results going to release

I can't sleep for the whole night... I'm getting nervous now... What if i did badly? what if my results not qualified for my course.. what if...

Well, I kept remind myself, it's over, i gotta faced the problem now...

Insomnia again... but this time plus worry and uncomfortable in my heart...

Celebrate 'Dong Zhi' with SHE

Supposedly every year of this day i will celebrate 'Dong Zhi' with my family (well, it's seems to be a Chinese custom where every member of the family gather together for reunion dinner). But this year the plan changed, I would be celebrate with SHE !!! For the first time out of this day, i feel abit uncomfortable because I'm always the obedient boy :P

Around 4pm, I listened MYFM 101.80 for the interview between SHE. It was delayed due to dunno wad reasons. wait till 4.30pm finally they came, but the interview last for half an hour. After that I prepared myself and head straight to Penny's house (I dunno the way,so decided to go early). I had dinner with Penny's family before going to the Jusco Cheras Selatan in Sg. Long (that time only knew that Cheras was so big...).

Before I reached Penny's house, I pass by the Jusco and spotted alot 'dummies' already waited in front of the stage. Well, they were the 'loyal' fans of SHE... under the hot sun, squatting and sweating... Me and Penny reached there around 6.30pm, the place already crowded with people, what the most disappointed was they divided 2 zones, i was the green zone, which seems far from the stage. What to do...find a nice spot to stand >.<. Well I guess we gotta buy the DIGI package in order to get into yellow zone..Duh..I'm a MAXIS user, ok?

SHE came to the spot around 7.20pm, which suppose to start at 7pm...Waited so long, my leg kinda cramped. There are a few events which included open ceremony of GREEN BOX ( sub of REDBOX), singing session which only sing 3 songs (触电, 怎么办, 我们怎么了). and followed by autograph session...I didn't go for it because...TOO MANY PEOPLES... Gosh, they lined up approximately 100m away from stage, and consists of 3 lines...

So me and Penny ended up having a tour in Jusco Cheras Selatan. The environment was very clean and nice, some Christmas decoration and mostly were restaurants..fast food,chinese,korean,japanese...drinks...ice-creams...

It's a Christmas tree !

...which made up of plastic bottles :P

After touring we went for a drink in 海螺, a relaxing place where some talented singers will have performances. We have drinks and chatting among our life..career...future...

I fetched Penny backed home around 10 something, then i headed back to the highway i supposed to go, but something happened... I was driving into the right lane, but suddenly an unknown Proton block my right path...I tried to speed up so I can cut into the further lane, but that stupid driver seems wanna race car with me.... Eh, i'm driving a Kenari la, how fast could I be... I'm a careful driver de :P... The battle last for a minutes where i meet a junction, too fast... and i ended up in the left lane, which leads me to unknown highway... Started to worry that time, it was dark and less car...I drove about 5Km and I reached a toll, then i ask whether the highway leads to Puchong, she said yes and very short distance. The highway was Kajang Silk Highway. In the end i ended up back to Puchong which pass by 4 tolls, RM4 gone and took me almost 50Km back... There goes my petrol...

I'm so glad that I reached home on time :P

Ex-PBSM gathering

For the long...long...planning...calling...inviting...At last our Ex-PBSM 2005 gathering was held in Mid valley Megamall at 11am sharp. But due to some problem I faced ( painting job at home + traffic jam + festive season ), I reached there around 12pm. ( Don't blame me, somebody were lot later than me..:P).

Aw, I'm hungry..first thing was to fulfil my food desire. We ate in Pizza Hut, chatting about everyone current and future plans...Then we moved our butt in order to burn some calories. The mall was rather packed with tonnes of peoples, squeezing every single each, stepping each others' feet, the air was getting stuffy..I'm gonna faint soon... (what to do, it's almost Christmas, and it's MEGA SALES!!!).

In the centre court, there's dancing and singing performances + (present give away and photo taking session for RM15). We just stood at the stage side because the front stage were so crowded, and we managed to watch the performance plus the performer's butt (sorry,it's not my fault).

I would said that, the winner of the decoration of all the shopping mall goes to... MID VALLEY !!! However I would prefer the last year decoration with the them: white christmas. This year was very colourful... Well, some snapshots from our gang.

And we also went to play bowling~

Don't misjudge me, I'm not goldfish kor kor... Try to act cute with my 'daughter', but turns out...

Around 4 something, me and Penny went to watch 'Colic'

Colic is a syndrome found in infants, which causes infants to cry
continuously for hours. The reason behind this illness is usually credited by medical expects to a number of factors. However, some people believe that it's linked to something supernatural."Colic" tells a story of a couple (Pongpob and Phraeploy) who have a shotgun wedding upon discovering that Praeploy has unexpectedly become pregnant. After the wedding, Pongpob brings Phraeploy to his mother's suburban home. The night before Praeploy delivers the child, the house next to theirs catches on fire.When the baby is delivered, and is brought to their house, he screams and cries with no reason. The doctor considers the baby has colic, and tells the couple that the ailment will disappear when the baby turns 3 to 6 months old. Several months later, the baby still hasn't stopped crying...while the family's members encounter to mysterious and unexplained experiences.

The movie was rather disappointed, not much horror substances, but i can said only 3-4 parts that last for 2-3 mins for the scary part. My rate of terrified reaction was so low, but it's enough to show Penny that she promised herself not to watch horror movie with me =.=" (because whenever any scary part i will tends to scream and shake the chair :p), that's her reason...

Love and marriage

Love or relationship?
A once student asked a teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick again."

With an exciting heart, the student went to the field, and go through the first row, he saw a big paddy, just to pick but then he hesitate and ponder…..
“Maybe there is a bigger one later.”

He didn’t pick that paddy and continue to walk through, this time, he saw another bigger paddy... but he still think
“Maybe there is another even bigger paddy waiting for him?”

After that, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he had missed the biggest, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher empty-handed.

The teacher told him, "That is Love, you keep looking for a better person, but when later you realized, you have already missed the best person...."

Feeling disappointed, the student asked his teacher again.
"What is marriage then?"

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the corn field again and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: You can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

Then, the student went to the corn field.

This time, he was very careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reached the middle of the field, he picked on a medium corn that he was satisfied with, and came back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "This time, you bring back a corn.... you looked for one which is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get because you had being regretted once and…….....this is Marriage.

Friends Forever

Woohooo...Long time didn't sing K liao...Today seems to be a gathering, with some old friends of 10 years friendship between each other. This could be a memorable day for us since the last time we got met together for almost more than half a year ago. I miss them so much !!

Once I reach at the LRT station, i thought i will be late ... well somebody arrive later than me (Eric and Carina). We took LRT to Bandar Tun Razak cause Penny will be fetching us to Neway in Leisure Mall Cheras. The driving skill of Penny.. NO comment... but her front mirror took my attention, indeed a huge front mirror which allows people to view better and no need to observe the side mirror.

When we reach there, only 4 of us arrived. So...we started to sing first lo, no need waste time ma...Later on, Grace (our former primary school computer teacher, who already resigned and work in other company) with her friends arrived. She took her wedding photos for us...Time passed so fast, she going to get married... (Big girl liao lo, at last can get married, must 'sang sang seng seng' o.hahaha..). She even gave us some photos as souvenirs for us, and also the map to her new house so we can visit (well, the truth is so we can kacau them).

Grace Au

Grace and her husband's wedding photos

Grace Au, our 'big sister' in our clan. We met her during Standard 6 (2000) in SRJK (C) Choong Wen. She's the person in charge in the 'Frontpage project contest'. Although she's our teacher and older than us, but we seems to be very very close together especially in the project process. Sometimes we even hang out together. She's seems to be a very serious girl during teaching, but in the free time, she could be play as crazy as us. This seems to be unique for us especially the age gap that didn't separate us for these 10 years till now.

Later on, Elaine (a friend of Grace, who we met before during a trip to Pulau Pangkor in 2003) and her bf came for the gathering. For the two hours we chat,sing and eat. And of course we took some photos before we left.

Penny, Carina, Charlie, Eric
