Life is like a show...

Failure or just unlucky?

2010-03-24T23:26:00.002+08:00

I have been back for 3 months and I think there quite a lot of things happened. Whether it is good, bad, sad or happy.. I think i did encountered it in this few months. I have had few friends from other places visited me in Penang, my aunt came back from Sweden, holidays in few places and also last but not least, the Chinese New Year celebration. Ha ha, it's all over for a few months now. I think i should proceed to what I am suppose to do when i am back here. Which is finding a job. But i have been job-hunting for 2 to 3 months now, but i am not sure whether i am such failure or is it that i am so unlucky.

I am feeling the frustration after I have went to around 8 interviews and i haven't got any real successful applications for work. I am starting to feel the pressure now. Whenever i am online talking to some friends, they will ask whether i had start working or not. I will tell them i haven't work yet, but maybe it's my ego, i will felt sad when they asked me that. Maybe i am not good enough for the job, maybe i am not convincing enough or maybe it's their loss. But one thing i am sure is that i am still jobless and i need to work. Not just to show to my friends, as this is not important but it's about myself. Maybe i have been given myself too much pressure in this short period of time. Maybe i should just relax and enjoy the holiday as i have been studied for a long period of time for 5 years.

Other than that, I also have to take time to heal my hand as I inflicted an bone injury on my right wrist while i was holidaying in Genting while it is in January. But it haven't recovered till now, so i went to the Chinese medical for massage and they found that my bone was injured a bit and my hand was bandage for around 2 weeks to let the bone mold back together and avoid my wrist movement. After that few days ago, i went to open the bandage and the master told me that my hand wouldn't be as normal or as powerful as before because the wounded place are too near to the wrist. And the wrist can't bend fully now. What could i ask more for a freak accident. Damn. I felt sad for that as my right hand was the dominant hand and now i can't even punch. I was quite interested in kickboxing in fact i learn before for a year. And now, i guess i can't go to the class as often as i like for now. Maybe this is the karma for punching too much walls. Sad. That is pure frustration for now. Sigh.. But maybe after going for some physio by myself, maybe i can recover but not 100% as before. I just need time...

A changed person?

2010-03-24T22:42:00.002+08:00

It's been time since I had blogged (again!). Ha ha. My apologize. It is also quite a time since I came back to my home in Penang. Time has past so fast, I didn't even noticed. It's already been 3 months. It seems that I had already adapted to the environment in Penang and everything. But one thing really seems different for me. For some reason, I had thought that the way I done things now and the way I done things before I went to overseas to study is very different indeed. I still doesn't really known any differences, but I don't think any thing had changed regarding the environment and also the people around me. Is it because I am a changed person now? I don't know bout that. Maybe I did changed, but is it to the good or to the bad? Who knows?

After all these times, I guess I have changed a lot in terms of my temper management. Few of my friends has told me that. Maybe they are right. I do think that the me before I left to further my studies, I think my temper was bad, i was a very hot tempered person and I really thinks that my anger could overcome anyone. But after all these times, I think i had changed that. Thanks to some of my friend. I am much calmer when doing things now. It sometime makes me felt more nicer. By being more calmer, I guess i can do much more thinking than when i am at panic. Ha ha. I guess this makes me a changed person than before. I hope so. Ha ha. One of my friends told me that "Winson, after you had come back from Tasmania, i think you had changed a lot.. It's so good..." Ha ha. I was quite happy after that. Finally a praise and appreciation that I had changed. Thanks.

Mount Nelson Villa 6

2009-12-17T07:34:00.002+08:00

Haha... Without knowing, it's already one and half year i have stay in this "house"... This has been my 2nd so called home after my home back in Penang. I don't know why, but i think after living here for sometimes now, and i don't feel like moving other place although other place is so much better. This is my last day in this house anymore, and i think i wont able to sleep or play in this house anymore... I felt sad that I am leaving... but nevertheless, every beginning has its ending, everyone knows that, and i must well accepted the fact.

This particular house, named Mount Nelson Villa 6 is an accomodation offered by the Accomodation office of UTAS. When we first came to our place, we were horrified, terrified... because it's quite far from the uni and you need to cross 7 hairpin corners like the one in Initial D where there are only 5 in there and we have 7 in our Mount Nelson. But, after staying for sometimes, we soon settled down and then we never really thought of moving out. And yes, of course, 5 of us are staying together... Me, CheeSen, SinHoong,Taki and TzeHau... All from our Inti Diploma course. haha. As we continue staying here for 1.5 years, the house did bring us alot of funs and happy memories. We have held endless birthday parties, parties... games night, drinking night... and sooooo many more. Maybe it is because 5 of us stayed here together.

Last year our group of Mount Nelson contains 5 of us, and Zin Fang, Phoebe, Chow and Nesh. We did have a very very nice time then. But this year, all of them moved to uni apartments, which is much better place than here, but 5 of us still stayed over here, and then we got Evo, who is new to the Uni this year, moved in to Mount Nelson Villa 2. He did had alot of fun with us, although there are only 6 of us, but the happy times is like 95%. No matter what we do, all we know is enjoy and happy. Whether we are playing games, eating dinner together, buying groceries and so on... We did alot of fun in this house. Really so appreciate the time... Hope i can turn back time. After that, our group grew bigger even without ppl moving in to the Mount Nelson Villas, soon we had like more than 10 people having party in our house. It's again very happy memories. And I was most of the time considered as the host of the house as I always talk and entertain any guest who came to our house. And maybe because of this I had this feeling that I have a bond with the house. And finally, today is the last day i am going to be here. I have a quite complicated feeling now as I am leaving today, whether I will leave as happy as this back in Penang with my family? Or is it because of my friends that i became so happy in life over here. But if either of them is correct or wrong it still wont' change the fact that I am leaving today. It's hard to decribe the feeling now. It felt so wrong and yet i have to accept that this is life.

Although Taki have moved out with his gf since November, our spirit is still very much still alive in Mount Nelson Villa, but after today, both CheeSen and Sin Hoong is leaving at 22nd. And Tze Hau will leave on that day too... And so... our most beautiful memories of Uni life in UTAS is going to end. all the memories that we have had in this house... will forever in my mind... Thanks housemates, thanks friends... All the best~

Graduating.. Leaving..

2009-12-15T06:57:00.003+08:00

Time flies, isn't it... Without knowing, me and my fellow friends had already stay here for one and half years already. And now, it's already the end of our bachelor. Better still is that my graduation is on 16th Dec which is a Wednesday. Times really flies too fast, and finally all of us is gonna get all our degree together and graduating together. Something that we are gonna celebrate. Haha.

But one thing I had in mind for the past few days after waking up is that "How did I managed to get through all this times?", "How did I overcome one obstacles after another?", "What did I really do this whole year?". In fact, after thinking for awhile, me together with my friends really did get through alot of things together. And that will always in our memories together. Maybe that is what University Life is all about. All the time me and my friend speaking about failing a subjects before exams are now all over, but maybe they will take another masters but this is already enough for me. After studying for almost 5 years, i think it should be time for me to stop studying and earning money after i finally graduated. Haha.

Talk about graduation, we went for our friend's graduation and then we had alot of fun time there. But i am abit sad with one thing, but nevertheless i understand and already overcome that sad feeling. That feeling is that all of our parents are not coming to graduation, including my housemates, which is all my friend. So, we will participate the graduation all together. Graduation is really my biggest achievement so far and this is gonna my biggest day of my life. Thanks for everyone that already wished me and thanks for people that gonna wish me. Haha. I am gonna to enjoy the graduation as much as possible.

In matter of fact, I am gonna leave one day of the graduation makes me want to enjoy more than any other things. The feeling of leaving and never coming back is really a bad feeling. Maybe we can grow mature after enduring and overcoming this feeling. We all know that every beginning has it's ending, but how many will understand the feeling. This feeling is bugging me for few weeks, but nevertheless i am quite excited to go back to Penang, Malaysia as there are alot of fun, family, friends waiting for me. But i have already stayed here for more that one year, of course i will have feelings to this place as well. Maybe the feeling is i have towards all my friend over here that maybe i not gonna see them again? Maybe? Maybe it's the feeling that i have to leave this peaceful place that i had stayed for so long and not coming back anymore? Maybe? I don't know... I have only 2 days left over here before I depart from Tasmania and then back to Penang. I sincerely hope that everything will goes well for me as I haven't sought out my future yet. But anyway, for the times i had being here, I will forever remember it and it will be the memories of my life. And i will enjoy the graduation as much as possible. Haha.

Everyone's Leaving..

2009-12-01T06:10:00.002+08:00

I have apologize to all again to all... Sorry... In the past 2 months.. which is October and November, it is the most important and also the most miserable few months for me... So much things has happened before this. In earlier i was so busy with my assignment and projects that I only had like 24-25 hours of sleep in whole week only. After that, i had to work on the exams. And during exam times that is the most miserable time for me. What can i say bout that? One problems add to another problems and then few more came along... I was also in the state of dillema during that period. And oh yea... the best thing that happened to me in those time is that i had a bunch of very very close and good friends held a surprise birthday for me. I was so touched by their actions. It certainly cheered me up alot. But still problems are problems and i still have to solved it myself. In return, i am so happy that i had a few good friends that are willing to hear to my trouble and then cared for me. This friends are already hard to come by. Thanks, i think u know who you are. Haha. For all the hard times we had together. Thanks.

It's really a blessing that I found out that i really knew a bunch of really nice friends, some is my housemates and some is new friend that i just knew this last semester. It's hard to imagine really, with one semester of knowing each other, our relation or to be specific, my relationship with them really grows so fast that as though we have know for a very long time. But while i am writing this post. Everyone of them has already left. The day everyone left, i will surely think of them and also think of the memories that i have shared together with them. It's fun to spend large part of my time playing around, joking, playing with them. I have no regrets knowing anyone of them. But too bad that they wont need to wait for graduation as I need to wait for it. But, by seeing one by one of them leaving certainly me very very much. I hoped that i am the one who are going back too. But if i am going back, will there be anyone think as much as i thought of them. People might say i am stupid, but i think i have farely too much sentimental feeling towards a friend. I never want to say goodbye to anyone, but all this friends here have gone through thick and thin together with me, so it's even harder.

Firstly, it Fiona who is leaving back to Vietnam, for holiday but she will be returning soon. When she's not around, i have no one to listen to me. She has been supporting me alot when i was having trouble. I certainly miss her alot. But after i complete my graduation, i will have to go back and i will have endure this again as she is returning soon. Can't wait to see her. Secondly, is my good friend and partner in everything, Chow. Omg! Without him, i wouldn't be what i am today. Although he's younger, but he certainly teached me lot of stuff. Sorry that we always bullied you, but still Man Utd is better than Chelsea (LOL). He's the one that we always go out together with, watch movie, casino and also watching football. Glad that i knew this guy as he is also a good listener. I won't be able to see him again next year, only time to meet is back in Malaysia. But the environment is already sooo different. I just hope i could stay like this forever, where whole group of friends could stay and hang out forever. But reality and life is cruel, this will never happens and i have to overcome this.

Thirdly, it's Kenneth. He is the most similar man to me that i ever meet. We always had the same thinking, but he's fairly smarter as he studied biotech. And the only thing that is different between us is that he has a girl friend and i don't. We knew each other only this semester when taking the Enterpreneurship and Creativity's subject. We certainly shared all those good and nice time together. I surely appreciate it for always. Thinking of videos and slides are always what we both have same in common. But he left earlier than me. So good luck Kenneth, hope to see u back in Malaysia and also with Jo Yee.

Fourth to leave is surely my best mates and brother, Benjamin. He is the most caring, best, sporting friend i ever found. Even words arent able to describe him. You should know him for yourself. He is someone that is always there for me, whether good or bad. He adviced me when i had dillema, He play CS with me when i am boring, he talk to me when i am emo, he partner with me nicely in badminton, and on the other way round, i am the same to him as well. I will never let him down. We have shared good and bad memories in here, but forever you'll be my good mates. Hopefully we will meet again in the future where we can help each other out again.

Fifthly, it's the most reliable and happy friend i ever meet, EVO. Yeah his name is Evo, don't ask me why or how? I think he is the perfect example that i shall follow in life. He is always happy even though he is in trouble. He has stayed together with us for already 1 year and i haven't really finished learning from him. Although he is younger than me, his knowledge generally is better than me alot. He never disappointed me whenever i have called him to do something for me. I certainly hope that i will meet him again in the future. He can achieve alot more than he thinks. We also did shared all the hard and good time together. Me and him are always the crowd cheered and when people are out of topics, we are there. And yea.. Evo is also a great poker player. I learnt alot from him. All the best when i am not around next year.

Next, after i came back from holiday, it's ZinFang and Phoebe that is leaving. Both of them we had known each other since 1 and half years ago. We started Utas university life together in the same place. We certainly had much fun before, playing Monopoly every night and also joking around. ZinFang is always the leader of our trip wherever we are going. He's experienced and also smart enough. Haha. Although both of them are graduating too, but there are not waiting for the ceremony. So they went back earlier, left us a few around. It's hard to see all of them go away for a moment. As i thought of the time we spent together, I don't think there will any kind of these time anymore in the future. All the best to them.

Lastly without speaking it's my good friend/sister, Fern. She's leaving back to Malaysia today as i am writing this post. I just woke up to send her to the car to the airport. She is another friend that i knew in the start of this semester, our relationship certainly developed very fast. I really don't know how to explain bout it, but i will miss all the time i had with her. She is another great listener of me. When i am having bad times, she talked to me to cheer me. Same goes to her, but i don't think i managed to cheer her. We certainly have had alot of good times but we also have bad times as well. I hope that she will live a good life ahead and less trouble for her. Hope to see you back soon in Malaysia.

After sending her, i can't sleep anymore, which led me to write this post. Did i miss her, or did i miss everyone or i am missing the time where everyone had their happy time together. I am not sure. But one thing I am sure is that I will miss the happy time we all had together. I am lucky that i really enjoy the time when we had all the function. I will have no regret. I will just hope that, they will remember me in the future, as a good friend. All The Best friends, although we might never meet again, but i certainly hope that each of us will keep in contact till i planned some function back in Malaysia. Thanks.

The blame game...

2009-10-05T16:08:00.003+08:00

How many times in life that you usually blame someone else for the things that you have done? How many time is it that you wrongly blame someone or something that in fact you had really wrong? Well, if you does that, you are human afterall. Trust me, it's normal. I think 70-80% of the human usually blame others over the thing you had done. But, in truth, many people does know and understand that blaming people is not really a nice thing to do. Blaming is in fact, someone is hiding from the truth and then try to direct the responsible to another thing or person in order for that person to have an "easy heart".

I recently encountered this problem. I have a friend that like to blame. He never really like to blame himself over the wrong thing that he had done. Like, sometimes, when he didn't attend an appointment with me, he will blame others that make him late, but in fact, he is the one who is late, of course i don't really care bout that coz it doesn't have much affect on me. But later i think it got worse. He started to blame the lecturer which let the class off earlier, which lead to him going to the casino. He did not blame himself for addicted to gambling, but in fact, he blamed the lecturer for letting the class off earlier. Which lead me to write this post. How can one really understand that sometimes we have to blame ourself rather than blaming other things/person?

For me, i have learnt that we have to blame myself rather than blaming on the others about the things that i had done wrong. In fact, there were some accident that sometimes i wanted to blame others, but in the end, i blame myself for doing such mistakes. And, the person did really forgave me for the fault that i caused, because i blamed myself for things that i done and i never really hide from the mistakes. Although it takes alot of courage, I think if everyone is willing to admit for the mistakes, then the world would be in peace (which this won't happens, lol xD). So, i think it is better for us to be ourself. Haha. Be yourself in whatever way you wants.

University Life~

2009-10-04T09:17:00.005+08:00

Life is like a show~ the name of my blog... how much do you doubt this quotes/words? Well, for me, not at all.. I used to doubt it, but this what i have had been through lately in life.

I was enjoying my life, i was given a hope, then i was heartbroken, people has been avoiding me, after that, made more friends, but, few more friends start to hate me, acted in a short movie for presentation, luckily that I am completing my bachelor course soon, but now I felt that I will miss the memories and friends here alot.

It's quite amazing to think about it. All of these things happened in merely 2-3 months of my life here. I wonder how all of this things started after I had quite a busy semester 1 in the start of the year. We didn't really get to socialize much during that time, but now, i think in this semester, I knew more friends than I actually can thought of before I came to Tasmania. Well, it's quite nice and lively to live a UNI LIFE with very much friends. But, too bad, Uni life also is a perfect time for one teenager to find his love or soul mates. I think i failed badly in this section, which sometimes i never knew why. Blame me fat, ugly, poor or whatever, but sometimes, I just can't changed myself for who i am. Too bad then. I will try to change for better but, although the best is not enough, then i am sorry~ haha (This doesn't meant anything at all, don't worry). I will remained who I am for now. I just found out that relationship things is very complicated as usual, i shall stay out of it for now. Haha.

Another 20 days and it is my 1st exam subject, and i didn't really know what the subject really teached although this is web development. But, the subject is mostly on coding, which i don't really like it, but i still have to learn it. Lol. I hope i really be able to pass this subject, in order to graduate this year. If not, then i will have to wait till another year. Pray Hard~ My exam is on: 24th October, 4th November and 7th November. The period between after exam and graduation is the most hardest time for me. It's because all my close friends are leaving back to hometown. I will be missing them really alot. I hope that i will have chance to meet them again in the future soon~

But what's really buzzing my mind is that, I don't know where my future lies after this year. Whether i should apply for work in here, Australia? or going back to Malaysia to find a job. Either way, i will be going back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year, well that's for sure. Maybe someone, or something could give me a hint? Well, for now i need to focus on enjoying my life and also passing the exam in order to graduate this year.

And oh yeah, i have been into acting abit as well lately. Haha. One of the subject that i am taking this semester which is Enterpreneurship and Creativity, need our group to create a inspirational movie that could inspire and lead change on someone. Below is the movie that we came up with. Although we get the last place in the class, we still get 80/100 as overall. Some groups did a great job, but some did get better marks than us without doing much work than us. Haha. But nevertheless, this is the movie that I acted in.

This is all things that i have been through in just a small period of 1 - 2 months. My life certainly have alot of ups and downs. And for now, i really enjoyed my Uni life, even though in previous times, i did regret coming to here. But now, with still 1-2 months to go for my time in Tasmania, I will do what i can to enjoy~

Cradle Mountain (1st - 2nd September)

2009-10-04T08:45:00.014+08:00

This is the photo album for Cradle Mountain. We sure have had enjoyment time going there. I think this is the last trip that we will be going. I surely enjoy it although some stuff did bother me, but I still enjoy this trip. These are the pictures of it. Enjoy~

Till now...

2009-09-06T09:49:00.002+08:00

Happy 1st Anniversary to me and Tasmania!!!!!!

Man Utd & Football Transfers...

2009-07-05T23:17:00.003+08:00

As the transfer windows reopens again after the season ends.. It's time again for football transfers again... Real Madrid was the biggest spender for this summer's transfer as they had bought Kaka from AC Milan and also Cristiano Ronaldo from Man Utd. Finally, after times and times again speculation for Cristiano Ronaldo to leaves for Real Madrid came through, after it came through in quite a fashion. He is now the world's most expensive player after Real Madrid pays 80 million euros for him. Good Luck to him and Real Madrid..

After Ronaldo leaving, then we have to encounter with Tevez's departure from Man Utd. Tevez are being released after being loaned for 2 years for playing in Man Utd. He leaves due to the lacked of playing chance in the first team squad. He is most likely to sign for Man City, which is the arch city rivals of Man Utd.

As all we know, there aren't any one in the world which could fit into the Man Utd team and replace both Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez, and act as if there aren't any changes happening in the squad at all. We all do respect, hate him or love him, Ronaldo is the current World Player of the Year, and his goals and contribution towards Man Utd are usually crucial. Never a doubt. Tevez is another player that we shall all missed, due to his full hearted commitment while playing. It's too bad that we will lose both talented players. But football is football and Man Utd is Man Utd. There are no footballer are be able to be bigger than the club itself. This is one reason i would rather Ronaldo to leave than to stay after all those antics that he showed that he wasn't satisfied with the manager and club. To be clear, I would rather Ronaldo to leave than Ferguson, one of the succesful managers in Premier League. And Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid, it is one of the footballing business ever seen. Bought C.Ronaldo on the price of 12 million the year after Beckham leaves, and now got the return of 80million, totally a good footballing business. No doubt.

So, how could we replace both Tevez and Ronaldo? Everyone would look towards the likes of Villa, Benzema, Ribery, and Silva. But, Villa has stated that he wanted to leaves in Spain. Benzema has officially signed for Real Madrid, and Ribery stated that Real Madrid is the only destination while there are no words for Silva yet. And another, Sergio Aguero is another young prodigy which could be a good signing for Man Utd. But Athletico Madrid says they wanted 60million euros for him. Ibrahimovic and Etoo might be a great idea, but there aren't any news for Man Utd to buy them yet.

Some official signings that Man Utd has made is: Antonio Valencia, which could be a replacement for Ronaldo in wingers department, and MICHAEL OWEN. Michael Owen has officially joined Man Utd from Newcastle United for Free Transfer after Newcastle Utd released him after being relegated from Premier League. For me, Michael Owen is a smart buy, as there are no fees for signing him, and also if Ferguson will be able to get the best out of him, payback could be more than that.

"Either way, if this move goes through, it'll be one of the shocks of the summer – and that includes Real Madrid's mind-boggling wheeling and dealing. Suddenly, when you drag Sir Alex Ferguson into the equation, the whole scenario takes on a different complexion. Is this actually genius in disguise, or is Optimus Prime a few nuts and bolts short of an Autobot, reacting unpredictably as he wages his battle to destroy the evil forces of The Decepticons (Real Madrid).
First, even if we're talking about a full English with 50k on the breakfast table every week, those kinds of wages are par for the course where United are concerned. It's a reasonable punt when you look at the betting slip, because when you take away all the nonsense, Owen has quality – top quality – somewhere amongst all the baggage.

Then there's the fact that, unlike the mid-to-lower-level Premier League outfits mentioned in connection with Owen, who need guarantees for that money and expectation level, United always find space in their squad for fringe men. Carlos Tevez didn't like the role – it insulted him. Owen, who can't guarantee an injury-free spell at his next club in any case, would likely be content to be rotated over the course of a packed fixture list.

Of course, Fergie has done this before. Teddy Sheringham came in as a veteran and helped to win United the Champions League ten years ago. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was always highly-regarded by his colleagues and the fans, walking around with a big smile on his face, despite his ongoing, persistent injury problems. Henrik Larsson, too, came in for a short spell and made a big impact. The Swede wasn't injury-free either, although he'd banged them in for fun during his time with Celtic, and came to Old Trafford with certain guarantees and a more up-to-date CV.

Elsewhere, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar signed as a veteran, with question marks all over him. Now, he's set a high benchmark for United's next No.1. Plus, the fans already have a good understanding of the way Ferguson uses his squad. Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are free to flit in and out of the line-up, making an impact and using their experience where they can. Owen would have to fall into the category too, surely, even though he's only 29." Articles extract from Goal.com Greg Plotomey.

I do agree Michael Owen is a smart buy, but i still think that, Fergie should buy another star or playmaker that could help Rooney and Berbatov to sparehead Man Utd's title defense next year.

Michael Jackson R.I.P

2009-07-05T23:02:00.003+08:00

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has pass away on the 25th of June. I was quite shock when i heard the news that tell us that Michael is dead. MJ is one of the artise that I really admire and like. Although he did change from Black to White, there is no doubt about his brilliance in singing and also dancing, notably moonwalking.. It's sad to see MJ leaves us in the age of 50, but MJ passed away still, but his legendary won't leave us.

I would like to post this video from MJ which is the first time he did moonwalking in a performance during 1983. Haha. Quite old video. Enjoy~

May and June...

Misty Day.

Sorry guys, but I was away from blog for around almost a month or so for may and june. This is due to examination looming. And now, finally i am having holidays after the examinations. Haha. Well, May and June was rather hectic month. I had to finished the 1st Release of the Project that we are working on, which is the sensor web. And also, I also did the presentation for the Project. Haha. It gone quite well though, nothing much of a problem. Haha.

Okay, lets make up on what happened in May for me. Firstly, it is the project presentation that I am doing for my project team. Me (Client Liaison) , James (Project Manager) and the Alex (Technical Manager) of our team will be presenting our project to our lecturers, clients and audiences. Lucky for me, all gone well and we have no hard problem encountering it, although still waiting for the result to be released on 8th July (Wednesday).

My Project Team.

Me and friends, and then celebrate at UniBar after presentation before back to lecture.

After having our presentation, it is the night of the Champion League Finals. Man Utd vs Barcelona. Well, i watched the game with my Austrian housemates, Lukas Winter. We were both supporting Man Utd, but too bad, they lost. Barcelona were just to good that night, to be more accurate, Man Utd were playing awkwardly that night, no doubt Barcelona were the Champions. Credits to Josep Guardiola and co. Looks like Messi is going to win the Player of the Year for 2009. It is tough bet for not going for him. He has some awesome playing style where Cristiano Ronaldo were nowhere near him, and Man Utd defender can't contain the whole night during the Champion League Finals.

Congratulations to Barcelona!!

Then, comes the Swine Flu cases. Me and friends have actually planned to go to Melbourne for holidays during our semester break. But, due to the continuous cases for Swine Flu, we had to cancelled our trip there. Too bad. So much for the Swine Flu case. The spreading of the Swine Flu cases are too fast, that is one reason why we cancelled our trip, the amount of people confirmed cases were 1,400...

And also, then one of our University's staff were also infected by Swine Flu while we are having examinations. That lead to big fear from the University which stated that those who are having flu symptoms are not allowed into the examination due to fast spreading flu in the thin air. LOL. What a joke. But ended up? One guy in the same examination hall with me brought few packs of tissue with him and entered the examination hall. Haha. But, in fact, I were also infected with flu and fever before and during examinations, but who cares about the school rules. Haha. Lucky for me it is not Swine Flu cases. Haha. Luckily i managed to recover before the examinations.

But luckily, 3 subjects that I am taking, I have 2 subject that allows us to take "Cheat Sheet" into the examination hall. Which means we are allowed to take an A4 size paper with our own hand-written notes. Haha. I managed to write in very very small words in the paper. Haha.

The cheat sheet for ICT project management, 1 page only..

The cheat sheet for Business Logistics (2 pages)

You can start and imagine how much i can write in this paper. Yeah, you can start to imagine, but i managed to write almost 2000 words in one page for the first subject. And the second subject, i have 2 pages, i might have wrote around 3-4k words essay already in the A4 size paper. Haha. Well, this is uni life... Have fun~

And before the examination i also bought a new 1TB external Hard Disk. Haha. I will be able to download alot of stuff after buying this new hard disk. How nice~

人生蚝乡一场戏。。。

2009-05-18T20:47:00.003+08:00

I had just finished almost all of the assignment left for this semester, with a presentation passed through today, and I think i did quite well with it. After all this passed, I finally had some time to upload my blog... Looks like i need to update alot to keep up with all my friends. Haha.

If you know chinese, i am sure you will know what i meant in my post.. 人生好像一场戏 (ren sheng hao xiang yi chang xi). I recently understand alot of this theory. Really. Our life is really just like a movie. Or for better scope, I should say, my life is really like a show. In a show there would surely be a high and low. And my life have just encountered every single things of that. I don't know whether i should be proud of it or whether i should be sad that I had to encounter with all this problem.

I am sure what does the word or phrase trying to mean is that, every each person has it's own character, scripted in different timeline, own dialogue, high and low, and lastly, have it's own unique problem.

Actually, how could this happens? Who could understand all this? There would no definite answer for all this, the whole world is living just on their own thinking, biases and also prejudice. Actually who really understand their own meaning of life. It seems sometimes that we fought for so long, it could just fell off just in front of us without we even noticing. Who could understand why? God knows. Not human. Or even worst, sometimes when this things happened, you won't even know whether everything is white or black.. It is all in gray now.

Recently, many problems has happened like i have posted in my earlier post, but i did carry on with life nicely. How nice is that? Haha. I think that is the meaning of the theory itself. Whatever happens in life, live happily, enjoy life. There's nothing left to regret anymore.

Life and bad luck...

2009-05-18T19:55:00.006+08:00

I was busying with all my assignment again recently, so, i would apologise for my departure from blogging for few weeks.

But things were not really going that well for me in April and also May. There were several incident that happened quite serious and some not so serious. And i really learnt something from it. It is that, every anger have a price... and now i learnt that it is quite expensive. But, it can be said that i will learn from my mistake and there will be no next time.

Few weeks ago, my laptop broke down, break a wall, hp spoilt, cutted my fingers, feel down when climbing down from hill, and lastly, almost being hit by a car while i was crossing a big road. Everything was going bad for me. I don't know what could i do to change all these stuff. But, luckily i went through every single thing of that now. I could say that i have already learnt alot from this kind of experience. I've learnt that when everything is turned down against you, you must fight it back with calm and patient. And through this period of time, I've learnt to handle stuff patiently.

The price of anger. This punch landed me AUD$ 200

All started because i got too frustrated after my laptop broke down while i was doing assignment. I tried restart comp for 7 times still cannot, so out of frustration, i release my anger at the wall. Which now lead to the fine of 200. Talk about life. Sigh

After that, my laptop need to change part for 3 times before it work back normally. Talk bout pure bad luck. Sigh.

After that my N95 spoilt. Even worst. Everything inside my phone were kept inside, and i can't open it anymore. Sigh.

But i think i overcome all of them now. Thanks.

Back to blogging...

2009-04-14T13:32:00.002+08:00

Hi all fellows friends and family... It's long since the last i blogged... And i sincerely apologize for my absence. Without knowing, time has past very very fast for me. Really, it has almost 2months after i left my hometown and come back to studies. To be honest, i do missed plenty of stuff over back home. But never-the-less, I still enjoyed my life here still.

In the past 2 months, I have been working much on lot of assesements, projects, quizzes and so on.. And during the weekends, i play badmintons.. That's why I seldomly blogged in the last few weeks... Other than just working and playing, I also have to cook for me and my friends in alternate weeks. Haha.. Now you know what i have been doing...
Days before the break, i have 2 major individual assignment to pass-up, that's why i felt so relief now. Haha.

After working on assignments and course work so much i finally get to back to blogging, due to the supposed called "Easter Break" which is our mid-semester break. Too bad, it's just one week. But, i have been enjoying it till now. We did make a plan to visit some nice locations weeks before the Easter Break. And finally we come up to the decision to go to the "WineGlass Bay" (pictures will be shown in the next post). We went on 10th of April which is a Friday. We rented 2 cars to go there and visit. And we really really enjoyed our times there. Don't worry, i will show you guys the pictures the next post. It's really nice. Haha.

That's what i can update you all till now... And i promise i will update you guys as soon as possible again. Don't worry.. There are more to come... I will think of more stuff to write the next updates.

Leaving.. again..

2009-02-18T08:30:00.005+08:00

Again, this time i woke up very early in the morning for 4-5 consecutive days. It's the 12 hours sleep that i got for this period of time. I remember this feeling before. This suffering feeling that I encountered before. This kind of feeling is really getting back to me now. The last time i encountered this feeling it is in July 2008. Few days before i will be leaving to study at Tasmania as well. And this time it's no difference. For the past few days, i have been having sleep-less night just to think bout the time left in my hometown.

I still freshly remember the day (13/11/2008), the day that I came back to Penang. I still remember every single things that happened that day. I mean, How could i forget, it's like the most relieved or happiest day of my whole life. The feeling of finally, I am getting back to home. Some might know what it feels like, but very few people might understand. This time, I will be leaving for around 1 year, maybe will come back at the year end. But, it is largely undecided. One of the main reason it is undecided is because I have had plan to work at Australia to work for few years before i come back to work. But due to the strict application of PR in Aussie, I maybe need to stayback for few years before i come back to my hometown again. That's the saddest part, one step forward two step backwards. So, I just have live as it goes.

There are few things that I will sorely missed when I leave this thursday. The first is of course my family. There aren't any thing more important than them. But i know they can accept my departure from them for a period of time, as they have encountered it before as well, but that time was shorter time period. I have already tried my best to do and keep everything nicely for them before i am leaving. So, I hope they can do it without me. Thanks family for everything and even thanks for providing me such a fun summer holiday this year. We have went to many places together in this holiday, Genting, Hatyai, Hong Kong, and many more places. Thanks. I will also missed my aunt as I will be leaving in a period where she need everyone to support her after gone through all this hard times.

Another I would like to thanks and also, which i will missed is of course, my friends. They have been with me thick and thin when in the hard times and also good times. Well, that's what friends suppose to mean. I really enjoyed all of your company this holiday, if not i won't be having so much fun. Sadly thou, still, every starting will have its ending. I have really met alot of friends this holiday, as most of my friends came back to celebrate Chinese New Year this year. Keep in touch ya. Bu, Ping, Jim, Khoon, still remember our trip to Lost World?.. I will remember it for long time, and also times we have shared together.. Some beautiful memories will also being spared in my brain. So, don't "controversy" too much when i left, you don't have director to lead the movie after that. LOL. And for god-bro(although he doesn't know i blogged), thank you too for sharing so much with me after coming back from Indonesia. And for other good friend, all the best. Meet you all soon.

And so, I have finally come to this stage. The final person i would like to thank and will be deeply missed is of course my love interest. Oh yea, it is still love interest, not girl friend. Due to the fact that I will be leaving, I can't be a self-fish person. Although we are not in any relationships yet, i have already considered you one in my heart. We are still best friend thou. I really enjoyed your company while you are in Penang, sometimes i just hoped that time will just stood still so that I won't be going back and you won't be going back as well. But, that is just merely some self-fish idea, although i am not one. For all the time that you spend with me, it will be the most beautiful memories for me. I will just hope that you will wait for me to come back. We will surely keep in contact, whether in traditional way or the modern way, who cares. Haha. I hope you really liked what i gave to you before your birthday and after valentines, although that is merely some sincerity from my heart. Hope you'd take care of yourself and be strong in everything. Do share things with me ya. Oh yea, remember our promise okay? You might be busy, but i will wait.

Well, that's few person that i will missed and now, things that i will missed is foods, transportation (car), warmth of home, GSC movie cinema and many more.

Well, i think i really need to get back to my sleep for awhile before i start to finish my unfinished business. I have found out that, enjoyable time will surely pass very fast, but hard times will also past but it will pass slowly. Slow or Fast isn't really important, as long as i can pass all of them, then i will consider myself getting another achievement in my life. And to not let down everyone in my life, i will surely succeed in my studies, life and many more things that will happen. I will try my best to not let people down anymore. And so, I will keep you guys updated with my situation real soon. I will come to this time where i really need to go... Haha... Hopefully all stays well and healthy. And last but not least, I WILL MISS ALL OF YOU.... thats for sure... Penang is still in my blood i wont be in there for long. BYE

Bye Chinese New Year 2009

2009-02-10T14:05:00.009+08:00

By the time i am writing this post now, it is already one day past Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of Chinese New Year. Well, this truly is the most exciting and loved Chinese New Year celebration in recent years (forgotten bout the celebration when i was small, hehe). Well, this years celebration is kinda different as I am back from Tasmania to celebrate with my family. Everyone seems to be happy bout it I guess. Haha.

30th Night

Well, the Chinese New Year has already started for me one night before the official Chinese New Year. We were having steamboat at home to eat with my aunts, and cousins. We were all quite enjoyed that night, although i need to help cleaning, I don't really mind. Haha. After steamboat, we soon cleaned up all and then went to Chinese New Year chanting at a temple. We arrived around 11 o'clock, which the chanting has already started awhile, we soon continued and the chanting ended around 1am. So, it's already Chinese New Year. Soon, we went home and then went to few temples and pray.

Pictures taken with aunties and Malay relatives.

The candles in the temple.

1st Day
Woke up around 8 something and already have to queue up to use the bathroom. Haha. Soon, uncles and relatives all arrived at my house. Then after awhile at my home, we soon go to my 4th Granduncle's house. Opposite Lam Wah Ee Hospital. After pai nee awhile, then we go to another relatives house, another granduncle and grandaunt. After that, we went to 1st aunt house. She's having some illness, so she can't go around to pai nee too much. So, we went to her house and eat all the stuff. Haha.

After that, in the afternoon, i went to my god-bro's house and eat steamboat. Get quite a big angpow from her mother. Hehe. After eating, we have several friends there too, so we chatted and drink. After awhile in the evening, i soon returned to home and then found out that kinda alot of ppl at my home. Haha. So, i have to help serve them, lol. Soon, at night we went back to aunt house and play some firecrackers.

Family

Daddy and big aunt

Charlie's Angel? Nono.. It's me and sister with cousins

2nd Day

Me and my family went back to Perlis for the 2nd Day. We start our journey in the morning, and reached there quite early. After arriving, then we start to receive ang pow. Haha. For the whole day i am at there is to gamble and then drink some liquor. Haha. I was very very happy that day. I received phone call from 2 best friends. One of them is from Manchester, UK which is SAW. I assume i was quite lucky that day, i won some money. And then, we went to Ikan Bakar very late at night, my uncle treat all of us. Haha.

Gambling in process.

Firecracking in process.

Hard liquor drinking in process. Out-door. Haha

3rd - 4th- 5th Day

Not much pictures were taken when we were enjoying the time. Haha. I came back to Penang on the 3rd Day, but unluckily, our car have some problem when on the way back to penang. So, we went to meet see our uncle in Jitra, he repaired it for us. After back to Penang, I went to See Khoon's house and then went to Ping's house at night to gamble.

In the 4th Day, I went to my father's friends office. They were having "open-office" and after that, we gamble again. LOL. And the event finished at the evening. After that, my friends find me at night. We are usual again. GAMBLING.

In the 5th Day, I visited my friend who came out from KL. So, after awhile of visiting, we soon leave, then at night, My friend invited us to go to Open House. And the event is quite big. Haha. After that, we went to play games & snookers and then gambling. Haha. Too bad, no pictures were taken during that time.

6th Day

Me and some friends went to Alor Setar for a visit. We were suppose to reach there earlier, but too bad my friend teached me the wrong way. Haha. So, our journey were delayed. But never the less, we soon arrived in Jasmine's house and then pai nee with her mother. Haha. After awhile, we moved to another location and went Tze Hau's to pai nee and play mahjong. I lost quite badly, never won a game at all. And then, after Tze Hau's house, we went to eat some dinner before proceed to another friends house. It's a very big house. Even got big fish pond and Karaoke room. Haha. After that, we soon leave there around 10 something and then arrived at Penang around 11 something.

7th Day

The 7th day of CNY, I have dinner with my family and few friends. As the 7th Day of CNY is "human day" in Chinese history. Here's some pictures of it.

How much do you really understand a person?

2009-01-24T01:51:00.001+08:00

Understanding, in some dictionary can be describe as (IN BRIEF) as "Know and comprehend the nature or meaning of; Perceive (an idea or situation) mentally". So, how much do we understand the word "understand"? For some, understand is just a word that used by ones daily. For me, understand is the word that i always used too. I usually do understand an actions of someone, understand lectures, understand why life will always be life, understand that dreams will always be dreams and many other more. But, the one thing that I would not try to say that i fully understand is a person's heart or brain. It is always hard for me to understand someone without fully knowing the person. But, sometimes, even though we truly know the someone for long, still we might not be understanding him/her as well. Well, that's just the nature of life.

It's always hard for some to understand another, one reason. That is, because the heart of a human can change in split seconds. One minute when we thought that we fully understand a person, another minutes, we might not even know the person. Well, that's a heart of human. Let's take for example, a girl. A girl can have change of heart very fast, and i really meant that, really fast. One minute, she can treat a person very nice, and another minute, she can even hated the person. I recently did encountered this event before. That's one reason i choose this topic to write about today.

Understanding need lots of time to work on, but changing is just split seconds. I once thinks that i truly understand all of my friends and mates. But, nowadays, I felt like i am failing myself or this is just how life goes? Sometimes when we thought that when we fully understands someone, we might be even further from that person. Few months ago, i thought ghost or spirit or even monster is quite scary. But now, what i am most afraid of is the heart of a human. You won't even know if they will betray you, hate you, or even wanted to kill you.

But sometimes, understanding someone also need to depends on the attitude of another person. When we tought that we really understand that person, sometimes we might be wrong. Because, the another person might be very friendly and you are never exposed to someone like this before. So, you might be quite passionate bout the another person. But, in the end, it might be just be a misunderstanding. The other person might be too friendly and you misunderstood that she/he might be interested in you, but it's not the real story behind it. This is one event that i encountered recently. This is another reason i took the chance to write about this. Please share some feedback and comment.

Without You (from Air Supply)

2009-01-23T01:38:00.003+08:00

Lately, theres many things going on in my life... But, sometimes i quite hard to tell out. So i would rather sing it out. I have found a song which have a meaningful lyrics that can really show my feeling right now.

Without You

from Air Supply (Karaoke version)

Without You :

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows, yes it shows

No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore

I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore

What's death or live?

2009-01-22T09:25:00.002+08:00

Recently, too much respects, i do encounter this kind of situations. Most of us always thinks that death is a bad thing and we will try and avoid it if can. But what if, someone doesn't stand a chance to choose. Someone who is now in critical condition and it is uncurable anymore. The only way is to try to prolong his/her life.

A relative of me, rather, it is a very close relative to me, is facing such dillema now. And this is one reason for me to understand this nature of questions that can bother most of the people. For long, i have been sad, soul-less, tired, and rarely, crying in the middle of the night for knowing that my someone will be leaving us and I am powerless to do anything but play the waiting game. But, who will understand what it feels like other than that person encounters it in real life before. Before this incident, i had always thought that being sad towards this kind of problem is just common in television/drama and others. But after being exposed to the reality, I, sometimes is quite shocked by the cruel of reality when facing it where i can make a person to be sad, not so confident anymore, and sometimes commit sucide.

Well, after living in this world for long enough, I have finally understand the law of life. There are four things in Chinese teaching that one must go through in life, that is, 娠 (Birth), 老 (Old), 病 (Sick), 死 (Death). For one person to live happily in this world, one must really understand of what life really meant. Like the law of life that i have stated earlier, 娠,老,病,死 is already a common knowledge for all. But who can really understand what it really means. For me, i have just started to find out the truth meaning. For me, the law of life is just for us to understand that many events that can happen in our life. One of my friends have quoted for me a phrase when the time i was very down (sad). I would like to thank her so much that I finally knew how to understand life.

The phrase are;"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."

Maybe she did copy it from other place, but I didn't know too much. But after listening to this phrase, i did enjoy my life more. But on another hand, what's death then. I haven't heard many people talking bout death. I've heard bout life after death and things like that. Recently, i have already found out that death isn't a horrible thing afterall. "How i hope that i can't wake up in the morning, so that i can relief from all the suffering that i have suffered". This is a phrase i taken from a cancer patients who is quite fed up with the suffering. I would fully hearted agree with the statement. What they are hoping is that life would end earlier so that they doesn't suffer too much by having a natural death.

And i wonder some people just against the 'word-that-some-agree-some-not", which is eutanasia. Hopefully i got the spelling right. Haha. I sometimes felt that suffering in this world is quite unbearable, and times and times again i have knock my head on walls, trying to go on hungry strike, trying to find someone to fight with so that he/she would kill me with a gun. Oh yea, for those who didn't know, I would rather die a great death than waiting to death. That's my own believing. Once i told all my friend before that, i rather die like a tiger rather than life like a coward. For those who knew me alot, they will understands me. But how we die or not is not important here. What i am now writing bout is whether life and death is so important or not.

For me, as long as we lived a quality life, doesn't matter if we are living or we dead. And I would like to stress out here that death isn't as horrible as some might said, but when it will relief suffering, why not death. Quality life is important, so live as you can. And for the someone who made me belief in life again. Thanks.

Christmas Eve Party

2009-01-03T13:58:00.005+08:00

Sorry for absent from blogging for the whole December. I was particularly travelling everywhere till i forget that i have a blog still for me to updates. Haha. There are few notable things that i wanted to mention. One of it is the Christmas Eve party at Jim's house. Haha. This is the 1st time that I celebrated Christmas (really! i don't usually celebrate Christmas at all, usually stay home) in someones home. Thanks to Jim, good friend of mine, finally i get to celebrate with his family and friends. There were only few of us going to the party, as we were invited by his parents. The party was even merrier with some of our friends came back from Nilai, Melaka, and Perlis (not to mention overseas, Haha).

The important event of the party were, exchanging gifts. Haha. Jim told us to buy around a RM15 presents for exchange. So, i bought a water ball with snow from S&J. Hehe. And i get a tupperware for an exchange. Haha. The party was full of fun and jokes as Jack, Ping, Jim, Bu, Khoon, Ming, Kim, Wern and Yin is around. Haha. We all enjoyed the party. After the party, we went to Starbucks (e-gate) for a chat and coffee before going home. Although there are some unfortunate things happen, we still enjoyed the night. Haha. Below is some pictures we can share.

2008-11-28T02:05:00.005+08:00

Today, 27/11/2008. I went to QueensBay Mall today. My main motives of going there is to see the Honda's robot, ASIMO. Haha. I went to QB by my cousin brother fetching my there after lunch with him. After meeting with friends, we started to walk around because the show time for ASIMO is 5.30 pm. We need to wait for some time before that. So, we walked around, then i met my friend, my idol of life. Haha.

I meet Doraemon, so i took photo with him. Haha

After that, we chatted and went to Old Town. Then i started to find some games to play. The game is to find a word that ends with "-zing". Haha. We sure wasted alot of time thinking of that. Haha. Then after that we went to see ASIMO. There were so many ppl. Damn.

I took video of it, but i haven't upload it yet. I will upload it as soon as possible.

After watching that, then we went to eat Ikan Bakar. Sorry, Jim (next time go with you). Haha. Then we went home after eating. Nothing much.

Btw, my exam result will be released on 28th November, which is today. Hopefully i pass all of them. Few more hours. Haha

Hatyai, 22/11/2008

2008-11-28T01:46:00.003+08:00

After arriving from Australia, this is my first time on trip to some place. And this time, the place is Hatyai, Thailand. I went together with my family and uncle's family with cousin. We start travelling on early morning at Saturday. After that, we rent a van to drive us in to the city, then our car is parked at the duty free car park.

After arriving, we started shopping like mad. Haha. I started by buying shorts. But the most important motives is to eat. Haha. On the afternoon, we bought drumsticks, sticky rice and many "xiao chi" to eat in our room. After that, I went to ancient massage. Haha. It was very nice and relaxing. Before went to massage, i bought a jersey for a friend of mine and then bought 2 t-shirts for myself. Haha. After massaging, we went to eat dinner. Haha. The dinner is super-delicious with thai specials. Haha. Sorry, I was too hungry so i forgot to take the picture bout it. Lol. After dinner, we went to shopping again at few super market. Haha. Most important of all, i manage to eat McDonalds Samurai Pork Burger. Haha. That is a MUST eat in thailand for all.

The next day, we again went to shopping. After shopping, we went to eat famous shark fin in hatyai. Haha.

famous Shark fin

After eating, then we start to prepare to go back. Haha. After packing, around 2pm, the van driver fetch us to the immigration 1st. After immigration, then we went to our own car to drive myself home. But, before going home, we pay my grandma a visits. That's all for the day. Haha

Life After...

2008-11-28T01:25:00.003+08:00

After encountered a very tiring day travelling by plane, i finally arrived in Penang at 2300 13/11/2008. My family and cousin were already waiting for me outside. I was very happy to see them. The feeling is like "finally, i am back home" with all my family and brothers around me and i don't have to afraid anymore. Haha.

My day started on very early morning on 13 november. I didn't sleep much that day as i have already keep most on my pillow and bolster to the storage. So, i just have a bed to sleep on. I had a sleep for about few hours before i begin my journey to home. The airporter pick us up at 8 something. While arrive at the airport, the people told us that our plane have delayed for an hour. After an hour, it delays again till 12 something. So, we need to rush again while we arrive in Melbourne. Haha. Luckily, we manage to do everything in time. But when i was going in to the international departure terminal, one guard wanted me to weigh my hand luggage, laptop bag, and also plastic bag that i took. He was so stupid that he added all up together, as laptop bag is always allowed to go through. Then i tell him that, but still he insist that i cannot go through unless i put something behind (What a stupid fellow). So, i need to run out again to check in my hand luggage, but the counter already closed. By that time, i was already so so panic, cause the time is already 3.15 while my plane board at 3.40. So i call my friend (from Johor) to take the plastic bag that contain chocolate for me. So, the second time, he let me through. Luckily. So, after that i run in immediately and look for the gate. Then, everything goes well after that till i arrive in Penang. Haha. So, that's my story on my journey back home.

After i arrived in Penang, my family immediately bring me to go to Kayu Nasi Kandar. Haha. It was so nice as i haven't eat any nasi kandar for so long. Haha. Then, after that, i went back to my sweet home. Haha. Nothing really changed. After unpacking few stuff, i then slept around 2 something. But, i woke up at 6 something in the next day. It must be because of jet lag and also time differences. Haha.

After that, i have been meeting many friends till now. Lol. I am starting to enjoying my time over here. Just started to hope that my time here wont ends. Haha.

Leaving Tasmania...

2008-11-28T00:59:00.006+08:00

I left Hobart, Tasmania on 13th November... But, before that i bought some souvenirs for my family. I bought chocolates and some shirts for some friends... Haha.. At last, i had only $3 AUD in my bank account in Australia. Lol. I took some pictures when we went shopping and also some picture of my long hair before leaving. Haha.

Those are some pictures that i took while walking in the streets of Hobart... Haha...

Other than that, before we all left, my taiwanese good friend, cook for us "Ma Lak Steamboat". Haha. Damn syok. So so so hot... Luckily i manage to eat much too. We managed to throw ourselves a party-like dinner, few days before we all left Hobart. Below's some picture bout it.

Some food cook by us. In the picture is Ping (not LSP), Friend from Beijing, she teached me Mandarin quite much. Haha.

Some food that i learned to cook while i am in Tasmania. Penang Laksa. 80-90% succesful. Haha. 100% my own work. Hehe. (I forgotten to take picture on Hokkien Mee that i cooked)

This is the picture that i took in the morning that i will be leaving. Haha. Still having long hair.

A short-hair me after cutting hair few days after arriving in Penang. Haha.

My 21st birthday in Tasmania...

2008-11-25T10:47:00.002+08:00

Hello all again, this is my heartiest apologies for all friends who were reading my blogs all along. Very sorry again for being absent from blogging for awhile now. I have finished exam on 7th of November and i am back in Penang on 13th of November. Well, before that there are few things that I want to show pictures about.

Firstly, it is my birthday on 29th October (sorry didn't do this post earlier). But, I was having exam on the 29th of October. The subject for that is called System Development Methodology. That subject allowed us to take notes in, so i reckon it is not so bad. But, still, i did few mistakes while writing the question number... Sigh.. But never mind of that, since its over already. Then later at night, i thought that no one would have known my birthday.. Suddenly, they gave me a surprise party. Haha. It was quite nice... but i have known about the planning, so that's not very surprise for me afterall. Lol. There are few pictures i can show bout it.

One month to go...

2008-10-13T11:32:00.003+08:00

Sorry again i have to say... As i was too busy with my current life lately, i have been lack of blogging for quite some time now. There was too many things that i have to worry about now... First thing; the assignments.... The are a workloads of assignments now for me to settle it before my final exams... The second thing; The preparation for final exams.... The last but not least; The need to enjoy life and freedom... Haha..

As i was blogging now, I still have 4 weekly assignments and 1 major projects to finished and the due date is on 24th October. The previous weeks, most of my time were spent on previous majors assignment of other subject, one of them with some help and ideas from lecturers (SMS) and also my father. Thanks. I did pass the assignment. The assignments is on the "Unauthorized Photographing". The topic itself is quite broad, with the help of them, i managed to finished it with time to spare. Haha. The others were some business reports for companies. So, it's kinda straight forward.

The final exam for me starts on the 29th (does anyone remember this date?) of October. Which is a special date for me. Yeah. Some might guess it correctly, it is the day that I am given birth, to be short, it's my birthday. The first subject exam is on my birthday.... Damn it.. I doesn't know whether i should be happy or sad? But, to get credit out of it, i managed to finished one subject on my birthday. The other subjects exam is on 5th November and 7th November. Well, that means i have 6 days to spare before i am going back to Malaysia. Lol. As I should not forgot, today is already the 13th October, which is directly one month before i am going back to Malaysia. Haha. I should be very happy once i will be home, there are many things that I can do, and also many things i would cherish once i am at home.

Well, the last things that i pointed out just now is that "The need to Enjoy life and freedom". Haha. As the point can speak for itself, i am trying to enjoy and have relaxed life over here. Not too stress on study and also not too worried about other stuff other than myself, and my family. Haha. Well, there were many things that I have done together with my friends over here to enjoy, well, the trip to Bruny Island is one of the example. The another one is the dinner in "Little Italy". "Little Italy" is a famous restaurant in our city, Hobart, and also well known in the University for serving, HOT and CHILLI Foods. We have heard that rumours for quite sometimes, so, we are very eager to try it out whether it is really that hot and nice or that is just rumours. Haha. So, we went to eat on friday, we pick friday because, friday has more buses comparing with weekends. The Chilli level contains from level 1-10. I tried level 3. Some of my friend tried level 1(OK) and one friend tried level 6(caution). CheeSen, Sin Hoong and Tze Hau tried level 1 of chilli, while Jay, tried level 6. The level 1 for me is quite suitable as it contains abit of hot only, while only the other hand, level 6 is so so so damn hot. I tried out level 3 and it is also really really hot. So, "hot eater" out there, you might want to come and try out this shop. Haha.

Jay's Level 6.

Level 6 while eating. So damn red.

My level 3 sphagetti. So damn hot.

I was sweating like hell, while Jay is enjoying. Haha.

All of us, eating. Haha.

Well, there were other friends with us together too, but, the shop is so small, so we have to separate the table. Lol. Level 6 was the highest we tried. Haha. Wait for my next blog soon, as i am just one month away from going home. Haha. Till then... Chao..

P.S: Everyone who eat the spaghetti, "lau sai" is the next morning. Beware the effect of chilli. Haha

Mid Sem Break

2008-09-08T21:18:00.018+08:00

The famous Bruny Lighthouse. Since 200 years ago.

View from near lighthouse

Last week, 1/9/2008- 7/9/2008 was our University Mid Semester Break. This means that there are no classes this week. Well, it doesn't affect me alot, afterall I don't have quite lot of classes. I still have to complete few assignment during the holiday. But, last week was completely awesome. Our Malaysian friends, 3 of them staying in next few doors, we are becoming quite close to them. Haha. They came over to our house to play games (Uno and "Cheats") oftenly. Haha. Which is nice. Well, we did went out together on Tuesday to hang out and shopping (Eastlands) and they are quite enjoyable. Haha. They also gives us suggestions to go to rent cars and go to other place to explore and play. Which we did.

We did planning on Tuesday and we went to Bruny Island on Friday. There were 8 of us, where our actual planning was to rent a Toyota Estima and all of us in a car. But, due to Australian Law, if you are not over 25 years old, you are not allowed to drive a big or luxury car. So, we have to rent 2 cars. One of them is Toyota Corrolla Seca (known as Toyota Yaris in Malaysia) and another is Nissan Tiida (known as Nissan Latio in Malaysia). Me, Jay, Sh, and TH sit on the Toyota while the others on another car. This is the first time we are going exploring in Australia (by using maps i meant).

The two cars that we rent.

We start our journey early in the morning. And we got to the ferry at 10 something to sit the ferry to the Bruny Island. Each vehicle cost $25. So, we have to share among ourself. $25 is already for two ways (seems familiar with Penang-Butterworth). Haha.

Picture taken near the jetty. Awful lots of yatch.

Picture of me and friends taken in the jetty while waiting for ferry.

Picture taken with Phoebe, girlfriend of my another friend.

Me and Chow on the ferry

We arrive at the Bruny Island around 11 something. After arriving, we tried to follow each others car, as another car is finding the way, we are following. But, we failed to locate them when they stopped at roadside and we didn't see it, as we are block by another car infront. Then we tought that they are infront, so we try chase, but end up finding no one. The worst things is that the telephone line is not working as well. There are no line for Optus. So, we can't contact each other. So, we U-turn after awhile. Then, 15 minutes later, we found them at a scene lookout. Haha. How lucky.

Pictures taken at the scenic lookout.

After stopping at here, then we soon go to another location. By following the map, we went to a museum. The museum is very small(actually smaller than villa now alot). And it cost us $4 per person for entry. So, we decided not to go in. Then we took pictures around there.

The museum that i mentioned just now.

Got too boring again and done something extreme again, Sleeping on the road. I was doing it because there are very very very rare car in this island. HAHA.

After that, we soon left the place and went to a cafe for lunch. Damn the food there is quite expensive, one plate of Wedges is $9. Haha. Damn. So, we share the food with friends together.

The maze games, but unluckily, we didn't play it, not enough time, maybe next time.

The view of our restaurant

Lunch time.

Cheers

After the lunch, we soon leave to another location to search for another scenic view. But, after here, we soon follow the map, but we haven't found the place where the map is mentioning. So, we have to go to another locations. Following is the pictures of it. All of them quite nice scenery.

I didn't notice I was in this picture, I was very tired after hiking up the hill and there i am in this picture... HAHA... What does this picture trying to mean? The scenery? Jay? me ? or no trepassing symbol there while i am being punished? Haha... You figure it yourself... Below is the compliation of pictures in Bruny Island...

28 August 2008

2008-08-28T23:18:00.002+08:00

Finally, I had finished my 2 major assignments and had a time to rest for awhile. I would apologize that i was absent from blogging for quite awhile. I had already started to settle down here in my place. Everything seems already normal for me. And why it is not, I have been around here for 55 days. But still got 77 days to home only. Home is what i had been thinking and nothing more. Maybe i already have the "homesick" sickness. Lol.

The only thing that i can't really cope with now is the studies. I doesn't know whether is it because I am really not good enough, or this university style of Online Studies doesn't suit me at all. I felt like i don't have much confident in it even though i tried my best to understand it. Temporary, i still have 7 weekly assignments, 4 major assignments, 1 industry project still to be completed. I wonder if you can imagine how suffering i will be for next few weeks and months? I was thinking, whether i have chosen a wrong uni or what? But, since i had already been here, then i should try to finish this semester 1st. Then i will further planning when i get back in Penang. The exam result should give me clear idea of my consideration. For me now, Online Studies is the total problem. I haven't expected situation to be this worst when i came over here. I expected independent learning, but not like that. Haha. What can i say? Too Bad Luck ? The lecturers over here aren't helping me out either, which make the matter worst.

Let's not get too much over mine own problem. Haha. I have saw lately that there were changes in Malaysia. Especially in the By-Election, when Anwar wins in the 15k majority votes. Haha. Will this be "New dawn for Malaysia" ? Lol. Everyone will keep guessing if Anwar can form a government by the date "16/9/2008" that is set by him to form a government? We will just wait and see about that. Well, this is all i can say now... I hope to see more things so that i can tell in this blog. Bye.

2008-08-03T21:30:00.008+08:00

21st July 2008, is the day that I first felt the feeling of snowing at my home. Haha. In the morning, while i was sleeping, the wind was blowing very very very hard. And unluckily, my room heater spoiled a day earlier. So, I have to endure the coldness for the first time. Haha. Luckily i had our comforter on me. The snow falls slowy in the morning and more at night. While, there were no snow falls on the afternoon. Hehe. Here are some pictures of it.

Acting Macho. Haha.

Eastlands...

2008-08-03T20:39:00.009+08:00

The second saturday in Tasmania, I went to Eastlands together with my friends... "Eastlands" is what locals called for the shopping place name. It is located in East of Hobart. Now you can know why they called it as Eastlands. Haha. Eastlands is biggest entertainment in Hobart, with biggest Shopping Mall and cinemas.

1st University Presentation...

2008-07-31T18:36:00.006+08:00

The chapter that i am going to present. "THE DEVELOPMENT OF ERP system"

Wednesday, 30th July 2008, the date that marked my 1st presentation in Australia or as in University life... I really put alot of effort on this presentation... I was quite nervous in the begining, but as the time moves on, i began to overcome my fear, and after awhile, i finally get to what i am really good at. That is, of course, TALKING and to talk without fear of being questioned. My coursemates were rarely falling asleep as i tried as hard as possible to make my presentation as interesting as possible. Other than that, i constantly tell some jokes as well.

As i was finishing, I have a look at my watch, as I haven't notice, I have been talking or presenting for 1 hour. The time limit for the presentation was, 40 minutes. The lecturer must had been quite interested in that, so, she haven't called me to stop (but, last week, she called one of my coursemates to stop presenting while my coursemates is reaching the time limits,might be mine is more interesting). After i finished presenting, my lecturer gave comment on me. She told me that I made an excellent job (and I was quite happy for that because i really wasted a awful lot of effort in that) because i was presenting 1st time in University. After the class finishes, my other coursemates also told me that I done a great job in presenting. And I was all smilling. Too bad that, 2 of my friends already withdraw from this subject. If not, i will be supporting them next time. They came and support me while they already withdrew from the subject. Haha. After that, I was quite satisfied with myself for the presentation. And there goes my first hurdles in University. There are many more to come, might be nightmare next, not hurdles. Haha. Who might know what a joyful day can turn into a pressured day? Nobody knows. Haha

Winson in Tasmania...

2008-07-24T21:03:00.009+08:00

Hello all... It's quite a long period of time since last i updated blog. As you can see in the last post, i am still in Penang. Haha. Sorry that i failed to blogged for this period of time. Really. I was trying quite well to adapt to everything in Hobart, Tasmania. Yea, it's true. Things are certainly different without my family here, especially my parents. I had to made own desicions, made own breakfast, and take care of some housework (which, i never bothered during my times in Penang. Haha. Looks like i have learnt to live independent). But, for some credit, i still get to talk to them through video call quite rightly, every night. Haha.

First point first. I have safely arrived in Hobart, Tasmania. And I have already started to go classes since last week. This week is already week 2. How fast times past. Looking forward, maybe the next time i blogged, it might already been few minutes before i sit in the plane back to Penang. Haha. Let's keep our finger crossed. I arrived in Hobart at 6th of July 2008 around 10something Aussie time (which means it is around 8 something in Malaysia). Before that, we sat in the Melbourne airport for around 9-10 hours before we finally managed to transit to go to Hobart.

Picture taken while waiting in Melbourne Airport

Pictures of Melbourne Airport.

After we arrived, there were a guy fetch us to our accomodation. The guy name is Michael, he is quite friendly, by introducing us many place while our journey to our Villa accomodation. But, when we arrive in our accomodation. We were quite shocked. Why? You might asked. It is because, our accomodation are quite far from the University. But there's a shortcut. Because we are all the way top in the mountain named Mount Nelson. We need to walk down the mountain for 15 minutes to arrived to the Uni. But, if we were to climb up, (which i tried before) it would take us approxmiately, around 45 minutes. Haha. Btw, when climbing down, the hill is quite sloopy, so my knee will be quite pain. But, after few tries, then i am already okay with it.
Me, Tze Hau, Chee Sen and Jay are all living in Unit 6 now, while Sin Hoong is living in Unit 5. Which is next door.

The living hall of my house.

The room with the door opened is my room.

Me and my friends that lived in Unit 6.

The shortcut walk to uni that takes 15 minutes. (You can see how far i am now)

Pictures of the University Center, from opposite bus stop.

My studies right now here are not quite good. It is because 3 of my 4 subjects that i took is 3 online study. 1 of them is fully online and 100% coursework, while 2 more does have workshop without lectures. 1 more is an elective subject, but my degree co-ordinator told us to take one subject called Enterprise Resource Planning. On first thought, this would be the only normal subject that i took with lectures. But, on the first class, i had a shocked. The lecturer (which is the unit co-ordinator which advised us to take this subject) told us that we need to prepare for presentation, because we had 9 students and just had 9 chapter, so, each of us will do presentation every week on every chapter. Wow, i was in quite a shocked, this means that the lecturer doesn't need to teach already. After all i added up, all 4 subjects does need self study. What a tough university life. Haha. What to do, I just have to try my best. Btw, i picked 2nd chapter to present, which means, i will be presenting next wednesday. Haha. What a rush towards uni life. Haha. That's what i can write till now. In the next post, i will write more on places that i went to and also nice scenery that i taken down on photo. Till then. Bye

Last few days in Penang..

2008-06-29T01:40:00.002+08:00

Sorry that i stopped blogging for quite a period. But, now i am back to blogging. Lol. I was quite busy with my preparation to leave to Tasmania soon. With lotsa stuff left for me to do, and just rightly so, 7 days left to go before I leave my hometown Penang. I still have some things left to buy and also few things for me to do before i leave.

Okay, back to this. Lol. Yesterday i went to checkup with dentist before i go. It is because the price there for dentist is quite expensive, so, it's better that I have a check before i go. We made an appointment before i went to the dentist. While i was in the room, I was quite afraid because of the last time i went to dentist. The last time i went to dentist is to pluck out my wisdom tooth, Listen to me hear, PLUCK out, i bet u can feel my pain and ride my fear now. Lol. Now, back to now, this time I met him, he asked what is my problem? I told him that I would like to check if there are any problem before I went to overseas. Then i told him that some of my tooth have holes that's why sometimes some stuff that i bite just left between in the hole of my teeth. I hope u all know what i meant. Haha. After seeing that, he told me that I have more than 10 holes in my teeth. I was like so shocked. Shocked and scared too on second thought. But, his sentence was not over yet. Haha. He continued by saying small hole doesn't need to do anything, my teeth can at least last for 20 years. After hearing that, my hole heart was like so relaxed. Then i asked him again, "What about wisdom tooth, no problem right?". Lol. Guess what he answered me? He said "Oh, nothing wrong. You have another wisdom tooth on another side of your tooth" My reaction and feeling was like WTF?! Lol. Another shocker. After that, he said that the another wisdom tooth has no effect on others. So, he told me not to worries. Haha. What an relief. After checking, he said nothing wrong with my tooth, just dirty. So, he cleaned for me. Haha. Lucky for me. But still, I am still scared whenever i heard the noice made by the tools of dentist. But, before i know, the cleaning does come out with this kind of tools and voice. Sigh. Luckily, there are no other problems, such as in the past. Haha. The dentist also did talk to me and asked me where i would be going. He told me that Tasmania is a great place with great scenery. Haha. He was a good dentist, but always gives me a shocker. Lol.

Today, i went for my god brother's convocation in TAR College. When i arrived there, it have so many people, i almost lost my way through the waves of people. Then i get to met my other friends. Soon, most of them start asking when is my departure date and time. After talking to them, i soon met my god brother. And i helped him to take pictures for him, his family and friends. After that, he treat us for lunch. Lol. Then, i went to another friends house and start chatting till evening and i went home. After that, i went town with my father to do some banking so that i will be able to pay for my accomodation in Tasmania this monday.

Btw, i will be staying in a Villa at Tasmania together with my 5 friends/college mates. The weekly pay is AUD 144. Haha. Quite expensive according to here. But, it's the most cheapest in all the hostel they offer. Lol. If i paid upfront, which means i pay all 18 weeks in one short then the price will be AUD 144, if i doing direct debit, then it is AUD 148 which means they will be debiting from my Australian bank accounts. Another type is by weekly paying which means cash and etc. That would cost AUD 152 per week. So, after consideration, i will be paying using the upfront method. Haha.

Thanks all my friends and family for wishes and I really hope to meet more people there and know more things and help my journey in life. Thanks. :-)

P.S. I will be coming back in November middle. Haha. Keep updated on the actual date. Hehe. Bye

A horse, a cow and a donkey

2008-06-16T18:06:00.001+08:00

A horse, a cow and a donkey were having an argument about who had most contributed to the war effort. The horse said he had done the most - ‘Without me, the soldiers wouldn't have been able to ride off to war’.
The cow said she was the one - ‘Without me, there would have been no one to feed the civilian population’.
The donkey, not to be outdone, said, ‘True....but I was the head of government. Without me, there would have been no war!’

Haha. It's weird i came up with this post. Haha. I went to watch football at McDonalds Sg. Dua last Wednesday. I didn't know that they were having a promotion of giving each person a coupon of french fries in every goals scored by any team. We went there to watch Portugal vs Czech match, and we were quite rewarding. Haha. In the 5th minute, Portugal already start scoring. Haha. And we received the first coupon. Hehe. And another few more minutes, Czech equalize and then we get another free french fries. Haha. Till the match ends at 94th minutes, the score is 3-1 for Portugal. We did get coupons till the 3rd goal of the match, but the 4th goal, the McDonalds guy told us that they were out of coupon, so we just have 3 free coupon of french fries. Lol. What a rewarding night!!

Stuff Lately...

2008-06-16T15:13:00.002+08:00

Sorry I havent blog for quite a long time because of I am busy. Last tuesday, i came back from Genting after i followed my friends for vacation. We went there didn't do much things, caused we didn't go to outdoor theme park to play. Most things that we did there is gambling, gambling and only gambling. Either in casino or in room, we don't care. Haha. I went into the casino both of the days and lost 100 each a day. Haha. Talk bout luck. Lol. Nothing much can be said bout Genting, as things stayed almost the same. We drive over way there to Genting with RM 180 of petrol money with going and coming back. So, we divided among ourself. Increase of 78 sen in petrol per litre sure affected alot on many people. Haha.

After I came back from Genting, I have much focused on Euro 2008. After much i have seen, it looks like that Holland is going to be the most favourites to win this year's European Championship. Their sytle of play has been tantalizing and their tactics have been thoughtful and lastly, their class is just master-class. No doubt. They can play nice passing in midfield, speed in wingers, intelligent striker and good defender. This is total football and attacking, you name it they plays it.

The second favourites really have to be Spain. After long time without any international championship to their name, they also plays beautiful football in this European Championship and one man really need to be acknowledge by the world of football is this guy called David Villa. He already scored 4 goals for Spain in this Euro 2008. He scored a hattrick in the 1st game against Russia and he scored a late winner in the game against Sweden to guarantee them as group leader. Spain is my bet to win the Euro this year, but after emergence of Dutch, i really have to say that they have been demoted to 2nd favourites but still my choice of winning the championship. Haha. Portugal is the 3rd choice and 3rd favourites to win this championship. Cristiano Ronaldo is the name everyone should think about when people mention about Portugal. And true, he has quite rightly shine in this tournament so far.

Still have 15 days till Euro ends and there might be many things to happen. And there are 20 days left for me before i am going to Tasmania and study. So, this means that i only have 20 days left in Penang, my home, before i going to further my studies. But, don't worry bout that, I will be coming back in the month of November this year. Hopefully to enjoy more after i came back. There are many things to be done, and plenty of things to be bought before I will be going this 5th July. But, i am still waiting for the visa to be granted or approved. Before that, I went to medical checkup in Penang X-Ray clinic last week for student visa. The only thing that I want to say is that the nurse there are young and nice/beautiful/hot. Lol. Really. Trust me. Haha. The whole clinic have around 6-7 nurse and most of them are nice. Lol. Back to topic, hopefully i do pass my medical checkup.

Decision made...

2008-06-06T12:41:00.003+08:00

I have made my decision to go to study in University of Tasmania if everything goes through well in applying the visa. I had just made my payment of AUD$5598 for the University through bankdraft and credit card. The officer also booked for me air tickets to go there which cost RM 5k for two way flight with the return flight will be open for 1 year. But, the air ticket haven't confirmed yet. So, if there are any cheaper one, then I can apply for that too. I will be coming back on the November this year. Haha.

The offer letter from Tasmania came on monday, which offers me 1.5 years course there. With full exemptions, on wednesday, they also offered me a 25% scholarship too. The 25% scholarship makes me saved a few thousand ringgit for my father. But, two condition must be taken in order for me to take the scholarship. One, i must arrived there no later than 7th July and second, I must reached satisfactory marks in order to continue my scholarship for next semester(I am quite scared for this condition because I am fairly an inconsistent person, sigh).

Each semester tuition fees is AUD$7000 then after discount of 25% it will be AUD$5250. The rate when i buying the bankdraft is 3.15 (which is very high!!), maybe because it is the day that our petrol fuel rise which affected Malaysian Ringgit to go down abit in World Forex Trade. The living cost in Tasmania fairly cheaper than other places in Australia. I had planned to book and stayed in the hostel for the 1st semester of my course. I will mostly staying together with my college mates. Hopefully there are places left. Haha.

The visa for me haven't been approved yet, but it will be approved soon. This sunday, i will be going to genting highlands. Then i will be going to medical checkup after i came back from Genting. Hope everything might goes well.

JUNE

2008-05-30T13:02:00.002+08:00

With few more days to go and it is the month of June. Well, many things have happened in this month. But one important things that coming in June, is whether if I am going to Australia or not. The offer letter of University of Tasmania haven't arrive or reached to me yet. Sigh. It is almost one month ago when i 1st applied to this University, and they still haven't replied to me. If the offer letter is were to reach me so late in June, where to I have time to prepare to go to Australia. Other than that, application for the student visa also needed time to be prepared.

Other than that, the time for me to be staying in Penang is getting lesser and lesser, as I am going to leave my hometown to undertake my degree, whether is Australia or not. The feeling now i am having is like "I am not going to leave my house", haha, some might laugh, but this is what i am feeling now. Without knowing, I already had to leave. I haven't have the preparation to leave now. As I had to make decision to go Australia or not, I haven't noticed that I haven't make any preparation yet to leave anywhere. Sigh. I don't know what should I felt now, as I am now just enjoying as much as I can and also trying to do what I can in this family or house, so that can happily cope with my leaving to other place to study, which I know they could. Haha. Every friends have told me that I should go to Australia, but I can't make decision about this yet. Sorry for that.

All i have to say is that JUNE is an important month for me to prepare for everything as offer letter of UniTAS haven't came yet. All the best to everyone. Thanks

Decisions...

2008-05-25T15:23:00.002+08:00

This month is one of my truly enjoyable month, full of enjoyment and excitement. Haha. I have travel alot lately, being to Langkawi, Redang and many more places.

Other than that, I have also been thinking alot about decisions I have to make to see which place to go for degree. Earlier, I have thought of going to QUT, but, too bad I can't really financially afford the fees and living cost over there. So, I applied another place, University of Tasmania in short, UTAS which is located in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, an island under the Australia continent. I have waiting to get the offer letter from this University. I have heard that this University is quite famous than another university that i applied, not to named it here. Hehe.

So, now all my focus is on UTAS. But, is that what i really wants? Or am I just trying just to follow my friend? I really don't know how to answer this. Really. I don't really know what my heart wants. Sigh. Should i go to study in Nilai as a better solution? I am really in dillema now. Haih... Nothing that I can do now as the offer letter from UTAS haven't came yet. So, i must be very ready when the offer letter come, as I have to know where I should go already. Luckily, my another choice Inti Nilai starts in September. So, if i don't go to Australia then i will have time till the new semester starts in September.

If i were to study in Australia for degree, then i won't be taking Master anymore. As on the other side, if i study locally in Nilai, then i will study for Master in overseas, maybe. Haha. This is the only decisions i made throughout this month. Haha.

Manchester United Double Champions 2007/2008

2008-05-22T16:54:00.004+08:00

The night of Champions League Final finally ends... And its Manchester United who won the Final in Moscow. Congratulations to Manchester United...

The scores for the match is 1-1 after extra time and Manchester United won in the penalty shoot-out with 6-5.

The first half was largely dominated by Man Utd, and on the 26th minutes, they got their deserved lead through a Ronaldo header with cross from Brown on the right. After a minute later, Chelsea almost equalize through Ballack with a header, lucky that Van Der Sar is there to the rescue. Man Utd dominated much in the first half. But, against the run of play, on the stroke of half time, Essien shoot from distance and the shot deflected twice before Lampard shoot towards the empty net after Van Der Sar was wrong-footed and slipped. So, the score at half time is 1-1.

The second half was like a revival from Chelsea. Chelsea was dominating at whole in the second half, but lacked the cutting edge only noted chances were Drogba's shot hit the post on the 76th minutes. After that, Ryan Giggs made his record breaking appearance in to substitute Paul Scholes on the 82 minutes. The match then went to extra time after a goal-less draw in the extra time.

In the extra time, both team have a go at each other in the center of the pitch. Midfield control was key in this match, in this stage, Makelele, Lampard and Ballack vs Hargreaves and Carrick. Both team had their own chances. Lampard shot hit the bar after a nice build-up. Then Ryan Giggs shot was blocked by John Terry while going into the empty net. And before the end, we manage to see a red card shown to Didier Drogba after he attempt to slap Vidic in the face. It is a fracas started after Tevez kicked the ball out for Chelsea in the throw-in and they got intimidated by that. I didn't understand the incident at all and also why or how Chelsea players reacted to it. They did this to Man Utd twice earlier. Each team had their own chances. Soon, both half of the extra times finally ends, and it goes to penalty shootout.

1st Man Utd: TEVEZ Scored

1st Chelsea : Ballack Scored

2nd Man Utd: Carrick Scored

7th Man Utd : Ryan Giggs Scored

7th Chelsea : Anelka MISSED!!!

Van Der Sar was the hero for the night!!!

Myth: In the last Decade, Champion League's Final Penalty Shoot-out were always won by the red jersey team. Liverpool vs AC Milan = Liverpool won while in Red Jersey, AC Milan vs Juventus = AC Milan won in red jersey, Bayern Munich won penalty shootout in Red Jersey too.

Myth: Remember the last time a important player of a team get red card in the extra time and then lose in the penalty shootout. Familiar with that? It is Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup 2006 Final. France played brightly, so as Italy. The same things happen tonight in the Champion League Final 2008.

English Premier League 2007/2008 Champion & UEFA Champion League 2007/2008 Champion : MANCHESTER UNITED

All the best!!!

How The Premier League Title Was Won

2008-05-17T13:19:00.002+08:00

It is easily forgotten, as Manchester United celebrate their tenth title success in the 16 seasons of the Premier League's existence, that they actually got off to their worst start to a campaign since the first of those seasons in 1992-93 (when they also finished as champions).

Back in August, as defending champions who had added Anderson, Nani, Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez to their squad, United struggled to recapture the winning formula.

The Red Devils started the season with by surprisingly dropping two points at home to Reading, who frustrated Sir Alex Ferguson's side with a disciplined defensive display. Despite creating plenty of chances, United couldn't break the Royals' resistance, and matters were exacerbated when Wayne Rooney limped off with a broken bone in his foot.

There was little for United fans to cheer about in their next game, either, as Portsmouth came from behind to draw 1-1 at Fratton Park and Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a red card for a head butt.

Worse was to follow at Eastlands on 19th August in the Manchester derby. United had plenty of possession but without Rooney and Ronaldo they lacked a cutting edge, and Sven-Goran Eriksson's ebullient Manchester City, infused with exciting new players and bags of enthusiasm triumphed 1-0 thanks to Geovanni's 31st minute strike. After three games the champions had a mere two points. Cue talk of a crisis at Old Trafford.

League Positions on 19th August
2nd Chelsea Pld 3 Pts 7
7th Arsenal Pld 2 Pts 4

Manchester City led the table with a 100% record.

Ferguson commented: "We've got ourselves an uphill fight now. Ten years ago we could have handled it because we were always good in the second half of the season - now we are going to have to be."

Fortunately for United, though, the fixture list did them a favour by having Tottenham visit Manchester for their next game. Spurs were busy making all the pre-season hype about their top-four potential look ridiculous, though even so, United were far from convincing as they scraped a less-than-pretty 1-0 win with £19m summer signing Nani hitting a spectacular winner from 30 yards.

It proved to be the first of three consecutive 1-0 victories for United, as Roy Keane's Sunderland and David Moyes's Everton were despatched by the same scoreline, substitute Louis Saha proving the Black Cats' undoing and defender Nemanja Vidic flinging himself to meet the ball with an 83rd minute header that unwrapped the Toffees' resistance at Goodison.

Another 1-0 win marked the start of United's Champions League campaign, as Sporting were beaten in Lisbon, Ronaldo scoring against his former club.

By September 23rd, when United were due to host Chelsea, the League had confounded the pundits with some surprising developments. Arsene Wenger's exciting young Arsenal side were still unbeaten, top of the table and playing scintillating football, their only dropped points having come at Blackburn in their second game, when a Jens Lehmann error gifted Rovers a late equaliser and ended the German's tenure as the Gunners' first choice keeper.

Meanwhile, Chelsea were having a major wobble of their own. An away defeat at Aston Villa, followed by uninspired home draws against Blackburn and Rosenborg, had prompted the unthinkable: the departure of Special One Jose Mourinho. Avram Grant was charged by Roman Abramovich with picking up the pieces and delivering the 'expansive' football that Mourinho hadn't. With dismayed and disgruntled players threatening to quit Stamford Bridge, Grant's task at Old Trafford was a thankless one. United won 2-0, with goals at the end of each half by Tevez and Saha (a penalty), respectively. But the dismissal after half-an-hour of John Obi Mikel by Mike Dean, in a controversial display of officiating, was a turning-point - claimed Chelsea, who were without Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Ricardo Carvalho.

Fergie gave the kids a chance in United's next game - a Carling Cup tie at home to Championship Coventry City, but they let him down in a 2-0 defeat. However, in the League and in Europe, things were going well, as Birmingham (away) and Roma (home) were both beaten 1-0, Ronaldo and the fit-again Rooney, respectively, on target.

United's defence was proving exceptionally strong, conceding just two goals in eight Premier League games; but the attack had yet to click into gear. That suddenly changed with sixteen goals in the next four games as United consigned Wigan (4-0 home), Aston Villa (4-1, away), Dynamo Kiev (4-2 away, Champions League) and Middlesbrough (4-1, home) to crushing defeats.

Grant's Chelsea had ground out victories over Bolton and Middlesbrough before suddenly hitting the 'sexy' button with a 6-0 demolition of high-flying Manchester City on the day United beat Boro. It was a bigger Premiership victory than the Blues had managed in Mourinho's three-and-a-bit seasons at the Bridge, and furthermore Chelsea had not conceded since losing to United.

But Arsenal, with an impressive point at Anfield on the same weekend, had scarcely put a foot wrong either, and were matching United stride for stride in the League - still with the advantage of a crucial game in hand. And next up for United was a trip to Ashburton Grove to take on the Gunners.

A week after their draw at Anfield came Arsenal's sternest test so far, against United. They passed with flying colours, though it took a stoppage-time goal from skipper William Gallas to earn a 2-2 draw from a game they largely dominated. It was a club record 25 games unbeaten in all competitions for the stylish Gunners, who extended it to 28 before a Champions League defeat away to Sevilla.

Meanwhile United thrashed Kiev 4-0 and beat Blackburn 2-0 - with two goals in a minute from the prolific Ronaldo - before unaccountably succumbing to their second League defeat, a 0-1 reverse at Gary Megson's struggling Bolton. The Red Devils bounced back with successive home victories over Sporting (2-1), Fulham (2-0) and Derby (4-1), with Arsenal suffering their first League defeat of the season with an unexpected 2-1 reverse at Middlesbrough.

United maintained their unbeaten Champions League run with a 1-1 draw away to Roma ahead of the first 'Super Sunday' of the domestic season. Tevez struck just before half-time at Anfield to give United a 1-0 win over Liverpool, but shortly afterwards at the Emirates Gallas headed the only goal as Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1-0.

On 23rd December United beat Everton 2-1 at home, 24 hours after Arsenal - still going strong in the Carling Cup - completed the double over local rivals Tottenham with a 2-1 win at Emirates.

But on Boxing Day, United nosed ahead of the Gunners, thumping Keano's Sunderland 4-0 at the Stadium of Light while Portsmouth became the first side to stop Arsenal scoring in a goalless draw at Fratton Park. Chelsea were held to an epic and explosive 4-4 draw by Aston Villa at the Bridge. Liverpool needed a last-minute winner from Steven Gerrard to overcome lowly Derby and cling on to the coat-tails of the leaders.

Arsenal reclaimed top spot on 29th December by humbling Everton 4-1 at Goodison, Eduardo hitting an impressive brace, while United surrendered a lead at he Boleyn Ground - Ronaldo untypically missing a penalty - as West Ham beat them 2-1. New Year's day saw the Gunners stay stop by beating the Hammers 2-0 at home; United secured an edgy 1-0 win over Birmingham at Old Trafford while Chelsea beat neighbours Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

Next up was the third round of the FA Cup. United and Arsenal both progressed with 2-0 away wins over Aston Villa and Burnley, respectively; Chelsea beat QPR 1-0 at home.

Chelsea and Arsenal both had Carling Cup semi-final first legs to negotiate before, on 12th January, United crushed Newcastle 6-0 at home. Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed a hat-trick to take his tally to 25 goals for club and country. Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-0 but Arsenal slipped up at home, being held to a 1-1 draw by Birmingham. The results put United top on goal difference.

United stayed top by beating Reading 2-0 away, then disposed of Spurs 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round before beating Pompey 2-0 in the League. The Gunners beat Fulham 2-0 and recovered from a 5-1 thumping by Spurs in the Carling Cup semi-final return by knocking Kevin Keegan's Newcastle out of the FA Cup by three goals to nil and repeating the dose a few days later in the League. Chelsea, meanwhile, reached the Carling Cup final with an aggregate win over Everton, before progressing to the fifth round of the FA Cup by beating Wigan 2-1 and maintaining their League challenge with a narrow 1-0 home win over Reading.

However, Liverpool endured a winless January in the League and by the end of the month were 17 points off the pace and effectively out of the race.

On 2nd February, Arsenal threw down the gauntlet in the lunchtime kick-off by beating Manchester City 3-1 at Eastlands to end the Citizens' unbeaten home record. Neither United nor Chelsea, held to 1-1 draws at Tottenham and Portsmouth, respectively, could respond in kind; and the Gunnerrs extended their lead at the top by beating Blackburn 2-0 in their next game, after United had slipped to a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester City in an emotional game that marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster, and Chelsea had drawn 0-0 with Liverpool.

As a result, Arsenal went into their next game five points clear at the top. A below-strength Arsenal had been thrashed 4-0 in the FA Cup by Manchester United a week earlier, and the Gunners were then held to a goalless draw at home by Milan in the Champions League while United earned a 1-1 draw in Lyon. But as they looked to open up an eight-point lead at Birmingham in a lunchtime kick-off on 23rd February, there was nothing to suggest the wheels were about to come of the Gunners' title challenge.

However, three minutes into the game at St Andrew's came the moment that seemed to define their season. Wenger had decided not to enter the transfer market in January but to stand by the players who had taken his side to the top of the table so impressively. And when Martin Taylor made a reckless lunge at Eduardo, the Brazilian-born Croatian's season was ended with a horrific leg injury. There was further damage to come when Gael Clichy was dubiously penalised deep into stoppage-time and James McFadden scored from the penalty spot to snatch a 2-2 draw. Captain Gallas staged an unhelpful sit-down protest on the pitch and the Gunners would struggle to recover psychologically from a thoroughly wretched day - one made worse by United's 5-1 drubbing of Newcastle. The Red Devils' two games against the Magpies had enhanced their goal difference by a massive 10 goals, effectively giving them an extra point on their rivals, and the title race had undeniably tilted their way.

Chelsea were not in League action that weekend. But on Sunday they faced Tottenham in the Carling League Cup final at Wembley and went down o a shock 2-1 defeat as Juande Ramos's side shrewdly outplayed them. The result and Chelsea's performance damaged Avram Grant's standing with the fans and threatened to undermine their challenge in the League.

Far from getting the Birmingham trauma out of their systems, Arsenal proceeded to draw their next three games - to Aston Villa (h), Wigan (a) and Middlesbrough (h), before losing 2-1 at Chelsea despite taking their lead. In that miserable spell the title slipped out of their grasp, although in the midst of the run came a sparkling 2-0 triumph over Milan at the San Siro.

Meanwhile, United beat Fulham (3-0 a), Lyon (1-0 h), lost 0-1 at home to Portsmouth in the FA Cup and rebounded from that set-back with wins over Derby (1-0 a), Bolton (2-0 h) and Liverpool (3-0 h).

Chelsea, though, had displaced the Gunners as United's main title rivals. The Blues shook off their Carling Cup defeat by thrashing West Ham 4-0 away and Olympiakos 3-0 (h). They suffered a shock FA Cup humbling by Championship strugglers Barnsley (0-1 a), but then beat Derby (6-1 h), and Sunderland (1-0 a), and drew 4-4 away to Spurs before beating Arsenal. Didier Drogba, who had managed only five League goals previously, hit two in the final 20 minutes to enable Chelsea to leap-frog the Gunners into second. But they were still five points behind United with seven games to go.

United thumped Aston Villa emphatically (4-0 h) and eased past Roma into the Champions League semi-finals. But they were lucky to emerge with a 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough before coming from a goal down to overcome Arsenal 2-1 at Old Trafford. It seemed they could afford to slip-up at Chelsea on 26th April and still claim the title, though they set their fans' nerves jangling by scraping a draw at Blackburn thanks to a late Tevez goal.

Chelsea had followed victory over Arsenal by beating Middlesbrough (1-0 h) and squeezing past Fenerbahce 3-2 on aggregate to reach the Champions League semis as well, either side of a 2-0 win at Manchester City. But a 1-1 draw at home to Wigan seriously dented the Blues' challenge. They beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison and earned a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the first leg of their European contest thanks to John Arne Riise's stoppage-time own goal. United went into their Stamford Bridge showdown with the Blues having frustrated Barcelona with a packed defence in a goalless draw at Camp Nou.

But in the Premier League, Chelsea had the chance to pull level with United on points by beating Ferguson's side at Stamford Bridge on April 26th. United had taken 13 points from their five previous games against their 'Big Four' rivals, but Grant's men duly delivered, Michael Ballack scoring twice in a 2-1 win for the Londoners.

Ferguson had chosen to start without Ronaldo, and lost Vidic to injury, then saw Rooney, who had not finished on the losing side in the League all season, hobble off with a hip injury after equalising for United. So Chelsea's storming unbeaten run in the League had stretched to 19 matches, they had closed the points gap, and only United's superior goal difference stood between the two rivals with two games left to play.

Ferguson and Grant set up a Champions League final showdown in Moscow by beating Barcelona and Liverpool, respectively; but in the Premier League the contest was moving to a gripping climax. Arsenal's mathematical chance was extinguished by United's 4-1 victory over West Ham at home, but Chelsea won 2-0 at Newcastle to ensure the title would go right to the wire.

United's final day opponents were Wigan, while Chelsea were at home to Bolton. The Latics put up a gutsy display and were denied a penalty before Ronaldo converted one at the other end to give United the lead and take his personal tally to 31 in the League and 41 overall in a remarkable season.

In London, Chelsea went ahead with half-an-hour to go, and at that stage a Wigan equaliser would have the Blues on top. But United veteran Ryan Giggs came off the bench and sealed the title for United by scoring their second goal in the 80th minute. To rub salt into their wounds, Chelsea conceded a stoppage-time equaliser to Bolton's Matty Taylor, ensuring that United's second successive title was won by two clear points rather than goal difference.

A gripping campaign therefore ended disappointingly for Chelsea, and also for Arsenal - who finished in third place with 83 points, a total good enough to win the title in six of the previous 12 years.

United celebrated their tenth Premier League success and their 17th top-flight championship, though Chelsea will be looking for revenge on 21st May in Moscow. Underlining his longevity at the top, Ferguson's 10th Premier League title was achieved 25 years to the day that he guided Aberdeen to a European Cup Winners' Cup win against Real Madrid. And to think he was planning to retire a few years ago. He wisely decided he was not ready and United have reaped the benefits of that change of heart. Now Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and the rest must attempt to dethrone him and his side yet again next season.

Thomas Cup 2008

2008-05-16T23:36:00.003+08:00

Today marks the end of the road for the Malaysian Thomas Cup 2008 team. Sorry to all readers cause i didn't updates more on Thomas Cup earlier. Oh yea, they were beaten by China, the world powerhouse of badminton. The result of the match is 3-2. It was an exciting badminton match to watch as this badminton match ended up in 5 matches.

1st match: Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan

Of course, Lin Dan were the favourites to this match-up. As most of the people were expecting China to win this match easily (haha, they surely don't expect it to be though). Lin Dan losses this match to Lee Chong Wei started the 1st set with complete fire. He gained 5 straight points before Lin Dan gain his 1st point. And soon, without knowing, Lee Chong Wei won the 1st set with 21-12, without much of a fight from Lin Dan. Amazing, Lin Dan makes more mistake in this match than any other match. It is weird though, for a World No.1 to lose this way, and in this big occasion. Haha. Come the second game, Lin Dan did well in this second set. Both fellow did follow up each points as, it soon reach 11-10 for Lin Dan lead, time for break. After that, Lee Chong Wei did tremendously well to get over Lin Dan and then without noticing too, Lin Dan were already losing 20-14. And after another mistake by Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei finally won the second set. Well Done Chong Wei.

2nd Match: Fu/Chai vs Koo/Tan

This might be a gamble for Malaysia as they left out their first double's (Lee/Choong) from the match-up today. But, gamble, Malaysia did. Haha. They choose Koo/Tan to start because they are young and quick to fight the World No.2 Fu/Chai. Koo and Tan did well to try and stop their opponents, but, they doesn't do as well as they can do. Koo didn't have their best games in the first set, but he soon recover from that, but they still lose their 1st set. In the 2nd set, it was more a tug-of-war between this two teams. Both team did well, rallies after rallies. But, Tan was making much mistakes that cost Malaysia. But it was well done for them. The highlight of the match was, Koo's racquet were broken and then he ran off to change one and came back to win a point for them as Tan defended their shots.

3rd Match: Bao ChunLai vs Wong Choong Hann

This is the important match as Malaysia's chance of going to finals. But, it ended up China's Bao ChunLai come over the top with very on form. The results were 18-21 7-21. The first set, Wong Choong Hann did well, but Bao managed to get a result over the veteran Wong. In the second set, Bao ChunLai proves to the world why he is the World No.3 by stamping an authority over Wong Choong Hann. He is just sublime is the second set which ended 21-7. It was well done for Wong as nothing or no one can stop Bao when he is top form.

4th Match : Zakry/Fairuz vs Guo/Xie

This is the match that Malaysia need to win in order to keep chances on their revival. Not much heard of the Chinese Pair but, one thing, this young Malaysian pair does win them before in the past. Hope for future to repeat. And repeat it does. This Malaysian pair does have nice future in front of them. They are fast, witty and plenty of arrongance. Haha. The result of the match is 21-17, 21-15. Zakry was one of the highlight of the game. He is fast and clever in front of the net. And Fairuz, was good in smashing their opponents. Really, Well Done for them and Rexy, Malaysia's Double coach. In this match, Lee Yong Bo shows his displeasure over the China's 2nd double by refusing to talk to them twice during the break. Also, he was shown quite sleepy as the match was going on. How can he sleep in such an exciting match. Haha. Peace.

5th Match : Hafiz Hashim vs Chen Jin

This is the match that both guys needs to win for their own team to reach the Thomas Cup Final. Chen Jin is World No.4 in the world ranking. It is the whole's country hopes for Hafiz to win this Chinese singles. But, it is well done to Hafiz to fight the Chinese singles. He often show glimpses of talent he is when he won the All England Championship few years ago. But due to his inconsistent, he was left with nothing but authority from the World No.4. They don't stay in the world ranking without any reason. Haha. The match ended 12-21 and 16-21 and so does Malaysia's hope of winning the Thomas Cup.

Well Done Malaysia.

China will meet South Korea in the finals after Korea beat the home side with the 3-0 result. The match ended after Taufik loses to Lee Hyun Il in the 2nd singles. Korea said that in order to reach the final with facing easier opponent, they purposely lose all the matches in the group stages. Well, this is a nice tactics, but can they beat China in the finals. Haha.

On the other side, Uber Cup Finals will be between China vs Indonesia. Hopefully for a nice finals then.

Congratulations!!! Manchester United

2008-05-12T19:04:00.005+08:00

The English Premier League 2007/2008 seasons finally ends. And it ends in a frantic pace. Manchester United is being crowned the Premier League Champion after a long, and hard season. Haha. Manchester United won Wigan at Wigan's homeground on the last game of the season to claim the Premier League for second succesive seasons with a 2-0 scoreline. The goals are scored by Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty and a Ryan Giggs goal. It was a day where Ryan Giggs equal Bobby Charlton's record for most appearance in Manchester United. So, what a day for Ryan Giggs to score the important goals and also lift the trophy for Manchester United as captain. On another milestone-making, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 41st goals in the season and 31st in the Premier League to win the golden boots.

In the another important match, Chelsea drew 1-1 with Bolton after knowing that Manchester United scored the second goal on the match. Another news that is bad for Chelsea is the injury sustained by John Terry after 14 minutes in the match. It could be a good news for Manchester United team. Haha.

On the other end of the table, Fulham survived relegation with 1-0 victory over rather-weakened Portsmouth team. So, the teams relegated were, Derby(the worst ever team in EPL with only recorded 11 points) , Birmingham (although won 4-1 in the last match) and Reading (who also won 4-0 against Derby in last match).

This season is really all about Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 31 goals in the Premier League and also 41 goals whole season. Although Ronaldo should be praised, the whole Man Utd teams also should have been praised as well, because of their team-work, confidence in each other, and also not arrogant or childish captain. However, Sir Alex Ferguson's old fox strategy should also be mentioned along with Carlos Queiroz. Thanks Manchester United, this season is truly remarkable, as we can still do the double if we win Chelsea in Moscow for the Champion League's Final. Good Luck and All the best!! Man Utd, best squad ever.

2008-05-12T18:10:00.006+08:00

Excuse me from stopped blogging lately, I was quite busy. Haha. The whole last week was quite eventful, from friends birthday till Redbox-ing. Some people might says that, before you leave, you'll need to enjoy it. I can't do anything but to totally Agree with it. Although i can't confirm where i will be going yet, but something is for sure, I will continue to pursue my degree whether in Nilai or Australia. So, thanks to all my friend, I do have an exeptional week in entertaiment. Haha.

First, it was a birthday of my friend name Yeoh Keng Liang @ Abu. Haha. Sorry for failing to update till so late. Lol. We actually wanted to give him a birthday surprise at his college at PTPL (formerly known as IPG). When we arrive at his college with a cake, he was very surprise, but lucky for him, his teacher was still conducting the class, so we didn't go in to his class to celebrate with him. After awhile we waited for him to finished the class, but then he already knew about our plans. So, after that, we went to Prangin Mall to celebrate for him. We have 6 people with us and we all sit in one car. It was so cramped, but importantly it was fun. Haha. Happy Birthday Abu....

Second, it is Redbox-ing. It is some of my friend's first time to go for Redbox. We sang in Redbox for 3 hours. And it is just RM 9++. What a difference from the last time i went at night. The last time i went, it was around RM 35++. Lol. What a different. Haha. What a diffrence Student Price makes.

Pictures of us in Redbox.

Third, we went for a movie a day before. We watch the movie "Ironman". Lol. What can i say about that movie. It was trully nice although it might be sometimes quite "kuah cheong". Haha. Especially when he created a 1st Ironman in a cave. Secondly, the main actor does looks more like a villian than a super hero. Haha. Maybe because of his looks? I don't know. I just feel so. Haha. Entirely, the whole movie was quite a great movie. No execptions. Haha. Do watch it.

Redang Trip (1st May-4th May)

2008-05-06T01:02:00.024+08:00

Last sunday, I came back from my holiday trip in Pulau Redang and Terengganu. My face and both my hand became very dark because of extreme exposure to sunlight while i was at the sea snorkelling. Haha. I went with my cousin and few of his friends.

Actually my trip started at 30th April where I start to sit in the bus at 9 o'clock at Sg. Nibong bus station. The estimated time for the journey bus to reach Kuala Terengganu bus station is around 8 hours. In the half-way of the journey, the bus stops for rest. While stopping, some of my cousin's friend gave his a surprise birthday cake. Haha. Very surprise indeed.

Picture taken with cousin brother.

After the rest half-way, the journey continues. And the bus never stops until it reach the bus station in Kuala Terengganu. So, by the time we reach there, it is already 1st May, so, i post my blog as the journey starts on 1st May. Haha. While we reach there, the time is just 4.30am in the morning. So, we called the hotel people who will drive us to the jetty. They say that the van will arrive at 6am. So, by the mean time, we watch UEFA Champions League football at Malay shop at the bus station. It is the match between Liverpool and Chelsea. Chelsea won Liverpool on that match with 3-2 after extra-time. So, it will be Man Utd vs Chelsea at the Champion League Final. Haha. After waiting awhile, the van guy arrive and we went up to the van. While sitting at the van, i can sleep again. Hehe. The van was driving us to fetch another group of people at a hotel. It was quite a large group around 15 people, so it need 2 vans, another empty van and another van of ours. After fetching them, then the van drove us to go for breakfast while on the way to the jetty. After breakfast, we continue our journey to the Merang jetty(the jetty that transit visitors to go to Redang Island).

The picture of Merang Jetty

After waiting awhile for our tickets, we soon go into the boat and transit to Redang Island. The boat was quite smaller compare the one of boat to Langkawi.

Picture taken while boat was moving.

After 45 minutes of journey in boat, then we arrive at Redang Island, and we straight go to our hotel or what they called there a "resort". The resort we staying is named "Redang Bay". But, because we reached there too early, we can get our room yet, so we went walk around the resort and beach to take some pictures.

Picture taken with cousin and friend.

Picture taken at the beach with friends.

After getting the room, then we go for the lunch given by the resort. And the dishes looks quite homely type, and quite tasty too. So, without wasting anytime, we soon finished the lunch. Haha. It is because we were all quite starved. After that, we move around again, and then we register for a snorkelling session. Before that, we went for snorkelling at the seaside.

Me, while snorkelling

Took the picture of baracuda, luckily we are not the prey. Hehe.

On the other side of the beach, we manage to take picture of a baby shark, lucky we are it's prey too.

After snokelling, we went to took pictures at a nice location, More More Tea Inn.

Another picture at More More Tea Inn.

After evening, we soon went back for bathing and then for our dinner. After dinner, we went out to walk in the beach again.

Picture taken at night.

After having a walk at night, we gamble awhile before we sleep on our 1st day at Redang.

Then, on the second day, we spend more time on the sea to snorkelling, so we don't take much pictures. On the 9.30 snorkelling session, we went to turtles bay for snorkelling. Too bad, i don't see any turtle there. But, two of my friend saw a quite big one there. Sigh. Maybe i am just bad luck? Haha. On the second session at 2.30 pm, we went to Kampung Lama to have a look at the nice coral, this place is located in the middle of the sea in some bay. We are allowed to go to the beach because it is a private property of other resort. So, we just have to swim in the middle of the sea to look for corals. And talking bout bad luck, the waves of that day is quite big. So, we all lost contact with each other as we went our own way to look for other things. But, when i was going back to the ship, I didn't see them so, I have to find them again. Swimming and swimming i did. Haha. Till i found them, they say they have no more energy to swim, so i have to pull some of them to swim with me back to the ship. It's quite far from the ship, so when the ship start to honk, I was quite panic, so I went even faster. But, I felt cramp on my leg, so I slow down abit, but after awhile, I swam back again. After awhile I finally swam to the ship. I was so happy as I was also ran out of energy. Haha. And also the waves was quite powerful make me harder to swim. Haha.

After the evening, we went for the BBQ dinner which is served by the resort.

Picture taken while having dinner

After dinner having walk at the beach

Playing with sands.

Me playing with sands.

Having a drink at a open-air place. Haha

After that, we went back to room and rest. Tiring day. Haha. On the last day, we went for our last time snorkelling. Hehe.

What a memorable place for me. Haha.

Our group picture.

After our boat arrive, then we sit the boat out back to the Merang Jetty. As our bus is at 9 at night, we pay for a one day tour at Terengganu to look around the city. We went to see batik place, pasar payang and also place to see they sell and make keropok lekor. After that, we went for dinner.

Look at the size of the juice, twice bigger than Penang. Damn scary. Haha

After dinner we went to the bus station and wait for our bus. But while waiting we went to McDonalds beside bus station to wait and play some cards.

The time soon arrived and at 9 o'clock, we sit our bus and soon transit us back to Penang and arrive at 4th May around 5 something in the morning. And thanks to everyone, IT WAS A GREAT TRIP AND VACATION!!!!! THANKS

Offer letter from QUT..

2008-05-04T14:59:00.004+08:00

Last Tuesday, the offer letter from QUT finally came. The offer for me was to study 3 semester at around 1 and 1/2 years and each sems cost around 10k aussie dollars (quite expensive). Haha. Now, the headache is that, should I go to Australia, or should I study here locally. This month is truly a decision period for me. Some of my friends get same offer for me, some have to re-apply because their grade doesn't reached the condition, and some didn't get 1.5 years, but 2 years instead because he is switching to different major. But, till then no decision have been made yet. I am sad cause the period where i had to make a decision has come and any decision that I made, I will surely leave my home Penang. Haha, don't bother bout that, I did get some complement for the hard time as I passed my final project when the result came out on tuesday.

The content where it says what bachelor and major they offered me. I had to make decision in May.

Nice Trip...

2008-04-27T14:16:00.016+08:00

Sorry for stopped blogging for few days, I was away on trip to Alor Setar and Langkawi. I travelled there with a group of friends. Me and some friends went to Alor Setar at friday night, where we stayed over at my friends place. The house of my friends is in Simpang Koala located in Alor Setar. Actually, before ariving at his house, me and my friend from KL, made a mistake and forget to turn in the Alor Setar Selatan toll, where we ended up in Alor Setar Utara toll. Haha. Lucky that my friend manage to know where we were and after that he found us, we followed closely with his car. After that, he bring us to go to his house and put our bags in his house 1st before going out again. Then, he bring us to find our another friend which is in Taman Ampangan located not very far from his house. He was surprise when he saw us in the front of his house because we didn't noticed him that we are going to visit him, Haha. It was around 10-11 when we meet him (talking about visiting people when late at night, haha), after that, we had supper then we went to "Infinity Cyber Cafe" located around their house to settle our vengence(LOL) of course, in the sense of DOTA. Hehe. After few matches, then we soon go home and the time is already around 2 - 3 am. Haha. I soon slept after arrived at my friends house. Hehe. My friends told me that i snore quite loud, cause they slept quite late, around 4.

The next day, I woke up at 8 am where our plans is to go to Langkawi as early as we could, haha. After bathing and get ready, we left house at around 9. After that, we fetch our another friend and then eat breakfast. We arrived at Kuala Kedah jetty around 10 something. We went to buy tickets but the next ship available is 11.30. So, we had to wait awhile before going for the ship. Hehe. Here is some actions of people waited too long for the ship:

After waited till we get to the ship, we had to sit separately, and sadly, i had to sit alone with stranger (haha). So, after awhile i felt tired and went out of the boat to take some nice sea breeze. I had nothing to do, so, I played around and keep taking pictures with my camera. Haha. This is some pictures i took while i was boring outside and inside the ship.

The boat coming back from opposite direction.

Lol. I am not the only boring people in the ship. Haha.

Some beautiful scenery.

Scenery with clouds and hill. Hehe

After arrived at Langkawi, we soon found the agent and driver that we booked earlier because, all of us didn't know how to drive around Langkawi. Haha. And the fees for the driver and van was quite expensive (not cheap, but better if we rent our own car and more cheaper and exciting). The time when we arrive is 1 something to 2. So we are quite rush (haha), because the last ship is on 7.30 pm. The first where we visited is the GEOPARK. We rent a boat there and we go around the lake and the park. We went to fish farm, bat cave, and eagle feeding site. The place was quite big, so, it takes alot of time to go around the park.

Eagle feeding site.

Pictures of me and friends on the boat.

Pictures of my friends.

Pictures taken when the boat is at the sea. The engine of the boat even stopped for awhile to me fear. Haha.

After the Geopark, we went for our lunch because we haven't had anything after breakfast. (Lol, funny, lunch at 4, Haha). After eating, we proceed to our next destination, Underwater World. In there, we see many different type of animal, haha. Of course, i won't upload all of them to here (because i don't want my post to be too long).

The penguins looks cute. Hehe.

After the Underwater World, we soon rushed back to jetty for the last ship back to Kuala Kedah. After arriving, we had dinner then me and one of my friend soon leave Alor Setar at 11pm and arrive Penang around 11 something to 12 pm. It's quite a great trip, although quite rush. Thanks to all my friends for making this trip succesful.

Activities, One too many..

2008-04-24T00:07:00.011+08:00

Last 3 days has been one of most eventful in this week (haha). Me and some of my friends went to eat and play together alot in this week. One reason this week is so eventful is because, some of my friends exam are already over, but some have not, but due to great understanding between ourself, we had nice and great times together. As usual, some of our main topics were mostly girls,(haha) but we do spent times discussing things as well.

Monday, we went to TAO in E-Gate to have a buffet dinner, and largely so due to some delicious foods, we did add some pounds in our weight after the dinner. Haha.

Here is some nice pictures about it :

Too bad i only took one picture of this, i will try to upload more...

After monday, we planned to go for exercise in the tuesday morning, so we went to play basketball on the Tuesday morning. Omg, only now i knew why did professional Basketball players need to be in a very fit condition only to play. The reason? Simple. It is because playing basketball need speed, accuracy, intelligents and importantly stamina, which in every aspect i did failed all of it. We played from before 8 till 9 something, something that we did till i really worn out. Haha. Very tiring after playing basketball. After that, we went home and rest.

And on wednesday, we did have another event, and again in the very morning. This time, it is hiking on Bukit Jambul, opposite my college. We arrive 5-10 minutes before 8 and climbed up straight. While climbing, i failed to keep pace with most of my friend cause both of them are quite fit. So, they have to always wait for me (very sorry for them). I ran out of breath a few times, and thanks to them, we finally arrived at the hill top at around 8.30. I was so relieved that we finally arrive on the hilltop cause i can finally rest my legs. Lol. After resting awhile, we finally went down to the foot of the hill at around 9. We arrived around 15-20 minutes later. After that, we went to breakfast and then went home.

Here is some pics i took while on the top of the hill.

In the evening, we meet up again and went to watch a movie named "Forbidden Kingdom" which include cast of Jacky Chan and Jet Li.

This movie is quite a nice movie full of comedies and also fighting action.

Unexpected events...

2008-04-20T03:11:00.003+08:00

Yesterday,18/3/2008. Me and my family were having dinner at outside near Taman Free School. We went there with separate cars. So, after dinner, me and my father goes home in the same car, i was driving. I was using the roundabout in front of Heng Ee School. Then i went to the direction of the Convent Green Lane School. After arriving at the traffic light, i soon stop and waited till green light and i soon proceed straight. But, soon I overtake a motorbike (ok, he was in the inside lane and i was overtaking on the outside lane, no near contact at all). While overtaking, I heard someone shouting. But, I ignore it because I didn't know anything happen so, i proceed till the Convent Green Lane School side junction.

While arriving at the junction, i soon slowly step on the brake, but, while I was trying brake, I heard someone shouting again. This time I was asure that the motorbike behind me on the left was shouting at my car because he kept pointing at my car. Then, I told my father about it, then he see through the passenger window, the motorbiker soon speed up and come beside of my car, still shouting and pointing (in the manner of scolding and provoking us). Then, my father slowly pull down the window and ask him "What's wrong?" but, he keep scolding us in bad words. So, my father ask him again "What the heck is wrong with you?" then, he still point at us and keep scolding. After i brake at the junction, my father wanted to go down and ask him (in quite a angry manner too), while both of us taking off our belt, the motorbiker saw us and then i think he is quite frighten (because both of us is quite big in size). So, at the junction he didn't stop at all he straight rammed out of the junction while the straight traffic was quite fast.

Luckily that the oncoming car in the straight direction brake for him, actually 3 cars brake in the same time, for this stupid guy (I think is in the age of 28-35 and it is a Chinese) who maybe is drunk or maybe a crazy person on the run out of the asylum or even from Tanjung Rambutan. If not for the straight traffic car to brake simultaneously and not bang on this stupid guy (lucky they brake on the same time and doesn't cause any accident or a pile-up from behind). If I were to catch and confront that guy, I think I would have known what is wrong with him. This is a reminder for all of you, If you do find this kind of trouble, please don't come down from the car, maybe is a robbery plan, and please be patient while facing this kind of trouble cause this kind of people are crazy/stupid.

P.S.: I scold the stupid guy too while my father pull the window down. Hehe. No wonder he ran away so fast. Haha.

L Changed the world

2008-04-18T01:20:00.003+08:00

It's late at night and I've just finished watching the movie, "L Changed the World" in cinema with a group of friends. The movie in particular is not really about the Death Note anymore. This movie is more like a spin off of the movie Death Note, because this movie particularly concentrating more on L (Kenichi Matsuyama) and the things he done within the 23 days after he wrote his own name on the Death Note.

Well, if you ask me how is this movie, I would tell you that this is a great movie. This movie is more about the virus that was created to treat the mankind in earth. Haha. Just to tell you abit. For the rest, you need to see for your own. Hehe. You won't regret yourself in watching this movie.

P.S.: The boy in the movie is so so cute..

Decisions...

2008-04-17T19:16:00.003+08:00

After completing my Diploma, there were some decisions that I had to make. This kind of decision when is worst, can get worst than marrying a bad wife, (haha). I am just joking. Actually the decision that I wants to make is where to study for degree and what to do for temporary.

Actually, me and few friends of mine have actually applied together for a University in Brisbane, Australia. The name of the university is Queensland University of Technology. But, till now, the offer letter from the University haven't been received yet. We applied in early month of March. If, some of our friends failed to enter to the University, we have already another plans, which is to apply for Inti Nilai which the new semester starts at September. If all of our friends were to get to go to Australia's University, then we must already go there at end of June or start of July because the semester there starts at July. Although the offer letter haven't come, I am still thinking which is the better choice for me. Either is QUT or Inti Nilai University College. Sigh... I hate making big decisions, because, some small stuff can make a hazard. I have asked information about this two University as some of my friends are already in there studying. But, decisions will be made only after the offer letter comes to me. Let the headache when the times comes. But, it won't be a big problem as I am having friends on either place that i choose as they are my senior. Haha.

Winson.

Exam week

2008-04-14T23:39:00.003+08:00

This week in our college is the Exam weeks... for some it would be their ceremony of graduates and for some, it would be ceremony of funeral as some lecturer told me before. He told me that because he is going to set a hard question for the exam because some student is just too irritating and some too lazy. Haha, becareful with that.

Some will spend their time in library to study this whole week. In library or not, i think most student will be studying hard for their exam. I am lucky this semester not to go through exam anymore because i have only final projects to do this semester. But, i have went through 7 semester of exam before this semester. Lol. Some, i did bad and some i did quite okay. But, for conclusion, i am only an average student. Haha. For all the exam that i had already passed, course that i had already taken and things that happened in college life, all this can only become a memory now as i am going to end my diploma. Thanks all.

Good Luck all to those taking exams.
Chao.

Winson.

April 14th 2008

2008-04-14T23:25:00.003+08:00

Mark this date on your calendar. Yeah, i know, it is 2 months Valentine's Day, but i am actually not commenting on that. Haha. Today, 14th April is the date that Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto leader of PKR Malaysia will be officially back in politics. As told PKR will staged a big rally in KL today.

About 20,000 people attended a rally in central Kuala Lumpur tonight to mark the expiry of Anwar Ibrahim ban from public office, a decade after he was sacked as deputy prime minister. The crowd defied a ban on the event which was held in Kampung Baru despite scores of riot police were deployed in the futile attempt to stop the illegal gathering.
"We have not issued any permits for the gathering. I advise all the supporters not to attend it. The gathering is banned," city police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman told AFP earlier today.
At about 9.15pm, Anwar took the stage to tell his supporters to wait two weeks on whether he would be running for parliamentary seat and return to active politics.
PKR bagged 31 seats in last month's general elections and Anwar had said that one of the parliamentarians would resign so that the party de facto leader could contest in a subsequent by-election.In his speech, Anwar also attacked his nemesis, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and accused him of abuse of power.
"He has made the judiciary worse. He is worried that I'll be the next PM," he said.Anwar also lambasted Najib Abdul Razak, saying that the prime minister-in-waiting was "not fit" to assume the post.After speaking for one hour, Anwar was told by the police to stop the gathering.
He subsequently told the crowd that he would "lead by example" and requested the crowd to disperse.
Once seen as the heir apparent to long-time leader Mahathir, Anwar was subsequently convicted on sex and corruption charges and spent six years in jail, before storming back to prominence in March elections.
With Anwar at the helm, a reinvigorated opposition seized a third of parliamentary seats and five states in the worst ever showing for the Barisan Nasional coalition that has ruled for half a century.
Now the 60-year-old maverick is once again being touted as a future prime minister, but this time for his Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance which he has described as a "government-in-waiting".
The sodomy charges were later dropped but the corruption count prevented him from standing for public office until tomorrow.

Arsenal title hopes over?

2008-04-14T01:35:00.002+08:00

Man Utd 2- Arsenal 1

The match finally ends, and Arsenal, in my opinion, are out of the title race. They started this match in a nice fashion, a typical Arsenal style of play this season. The dominate the match as the match start at the midfield. Both sides have chances, but if not for brilliant goalkeeping of both teams, then the scoreline would have been very different. Arsenal scored 1st in this match. They play a nice build-up in this goal. Added with some misunderstanding between Van der sar and Ferdinand, Adebayor scored using his hand when he can score using his head (it could caused a havoc if Arsenal were to win this match).

But just as they did in Liverpool Champion League match, the concede a penalty after scoring on the other side. This time is Gallas's handball which lead to the penalty. And once again, Ronaldo steps up and score for the 28th Premier League goals this season and 38th for the whole season in all competition. After the goal, Man Utd soon made changes that can changes their fortunes, and it was Anderson and Tevez who comes in for Park and Scholes. After the changes, Man Utd started to attack Arsenal's defense.

The breakthrough came on 71st minutes when Manchester United were combining well and Rooney's shot was saved by Lehmann, and after that Evra took the rebound by juggle it over Gilberto and Gilberto falls him down on the edge of the box. This time, Hargreaves steps up and took the free kick towards the top corner and Lehmann didn't move a muscle. It was a great freekick at a great match. So far, Hargreaves have only score twice this season with free kicks against Fulham and Arsenal.

Man Utd soon hold on to the lead and Arsenal did get few chances that was saved by the Man Utd's goal keeper Edwin Van der sar. And the match ended after 4 minutes of injury time. Arsenal's title hope may have well ended and Man Utd's title hope is getting closer and closer towards reality. By winning all the matches and a lost to Chelsea in Stamford Bridge will still wins them the title. Chelsea will look worry after seeing this result. But, Man Utd would not a loss in Chelsea's home ground, how nice it would be if they wins the title at Stamford Bridge. Looking forward to 26th April for the match.
Good Luck all. Chao.

Bye, Piano...

2008-04-12T12:44:00.006+08:00

The day that i had finally sell my piano has come and it was today. The piano was bought around 1990 when i was around 3-4 years old. After almost 17 years, we finally sold off the piano. The piano brand is "Young Chang", it is not as expensive as "Yamaha", but the sound and quality is the same like "Yamaha". I still remember that I was playing on it on the 1st time, so happy. But my interest soon vanished after being teached by a lady teacher who always hit my hand when played wrongly. So, after few years of learning, i finally stops learning it. And times flies till now and i am going to sell it for someone who can plays well and teaches someone else. I sold it at the price of RM 1K. The price of second hand piano is almost like that or even more, some say i sell to cheap(haha). So, once again, Good Bye Piano for 17 years.

My Piano.

Playing piano for last time.

Champion League Review......10/4/2008

2008-04-10T17:26:00.002+08:00

It's official... Man Utd will face Barcelona in the semi final of the UEFA Champions League... and another semi final will be Chelsea vs Liverpool (2nd year in the row now, haha.). Man Utd will travel to Nou Camp to face Barcelona on 23rd April 2008 for the 1st leg of the semi final (can't really wait for that) and 30th April 2008 at Old Trafford for the return leg. And it's gonna be awesome clash as Man Utd will already have Nemanja Vidic back in their defense as they are going for the Double. On the other side, Barcelona, may will have Lionel Messi back fit. So, this match is a Must see. The last time both team met was in the Trebel season(1998-1999) where the match in Old Trafford drew 2-2 and match in Nou Camp drew 3-3. The last time they went to Nou Camp were, Of Course the Treble season Champion League were they win 2-1 against Bayern Munich with their two late late goals scored by Sheringham and Solskjaer. What a nice memory in Nou Camp. Haha.

While in the another semi final, good old clash of Chelsea and Liverpool. This two teams meet every season in the Champion League since the start of the Mourinho era. Lol. The last time this two sides met is last season's Champion League semi final. Liverpool got to the final by winning the penalty shootout after both teams ended 1-1. In Torres, Liverpool have one quality player in hot- hot form now. He can really terrorise Chelsea defense if there are any chances posed to him. On the other side, Chelsea, they also have Joe Cole who have been magnificent lately with his performance.

Arsenal vs Liverpool

This match was one of the nicest match I ever seen for Champions League for so long. Many Arsenal supporters will cry foul when they were dumped out of the on such a dramatic fashion. There were big chance for Arsenal to qualify when Adebayor scored the equalizer. Theo Walcott played a very very big part in the Arsenal equalizer after he dribble past 4 Liverpool players start when he took the ball from his own penalty box. After past all, it is not over, he need to deliver a great low cross for Adebayor to finish. At that moment, I tought that Theo Walcott would be definitely be the Super Sub and credit to master tactician Arsene Wenger. A minute after the goal, another mazzy dribble , but this time it is not Theo, it is Ryan Babel. After dribbling past players, he finally fell down after stumbled by Kolo Toure. In my opinion, it is not a penalty. How can we have double standards in football? But on second tought, referee is human after all. Argument can't solve this problem anymore, it needs action. And the only action that the federation can do is that using computer technology and television replay. Another way is to change the human referee to become a robot referee, where all decisions will be made by generic algorithm, A.I. and even also program being set according to the rules. But, if this were to implement, football will already lose it's passion and enthusiasm. So, for conclusions, Arsenal fans, stop crying foul about the penalty incident anymore, get ready for next season is a better idea because no one is going to reverse the penalty incident. Arsene Wenger is just being forced to eat humble pie. On the Liverpool forth goal, it is a gamble that Arsenal must take for their pride. So, we can't blame anyone here, if I can blame, I will blame that why Fabregas is so small in size (didn't he went to gym? HAHA). If I am Fabregas at that time, I would have tackle Babel in order to stop him running so far to get the goal. This is the way we should lead by example. If the penalty doesn't exist and then Theo Walcott would be the super sub and the man of the match and because of this decision, Ryan Babel turned out to become the super sub and man of the match. Haha. One thing good about football is that Football is a team game, not individual, so if someone is to blame, the whole team is to blame, not only one player. This is the example of Roy Keane's exit from Old Trafford, where he listed a few players that doesn't reach the standard to be in the club. So, the manager and board have no choice but to sack him.

For conclusion, I would like to stat out a few factor that why Arsenal lost to Liverpool:
1. Arsenal lost to a team that include Fernando Torres (which is a quality player). Arsenal is a great team, but every team need to have at least a quality player to make things happen when needed. Arsenal need to make some really quality signing for next season.

2. Arsenal lost because they doesn't have squad in depth. They have just a slim squad now, compare to Man Utd. To fight for 2-3 fronts, the important things is that they have the squad for it and squad that doesn't only have many youth, but also must concede of experienced player to make the squad balance.

Manchester United vs Roma

What can I say about Manchester United, they can afford to let Rooney, Ronaldo, Evra, and Scholes out of the first team and still win the match 1-0. Is Roma weak? or are Man Utd just strong? This is a things that will come to some neutral mind after this match. I rather don't take chances to make conclusion and result for that. Haha. I will rather tell some key players that changes the match and about the penalty given to Roma. Most of the Man Utd midfield performed well yesterday night. Especially Owen Hargreaves and Ryan Giggs. After the weekend of 2-2 draw with Middlebrough at the Riverside Stadium, Ryan Giggs have been in the end of much criticism and even some fans even called in to the MUTV to ask why is Ryan Giggs appearing on matches. To silent the criticism, Ryan Giggs yesterday pulled out a nice performance, with mazy run, nice through ball and great crosses. And another, Owen Hargreaves, he was the commander today. He was everywhere in the midfield, one moment he is in the right, another moment he is on the left and without knowing he is defending against Roma in the middle. I hope that he perform like this against Arsenal, which I know that it wouldn't be an easy game. I know I might be a Manchester United supporter, but the penalty concede by Wes Brown is not a penalty. The first thing that I wanted to argue is that do the referee saw the ball changes direction when Wes Brown tackled Mancini. The second thing is that Mancini only falls after the ball moves away. Doesn't that indicated that he is diving? The referee who stands so near the incident believe the act and gave Roma the benefits of doubt. But to United's liking, De Rossi missed the penalty by blasting over the bar. So, it is just like justice is done over that decision or De Rossi is too sporting maybe (just kidding, haha). The match shows that Manchester United is starting to stamping their authority towards the Champion League by showing Roma a great performance without all their aces in the team. Haha
Looking forward towards Man Utd vs Arsenal on Sunday. May the Best team wins.

9/4/2008 - Diploma Completed

2008-04-10T01:07:00.005+08:00

9/4/2008 - Wednesday. Today is the day that i will be presenting the final project that being done by me. After presenting this final project, this will also means that I am
"Officially" A Diploma Graduate (although the result haven't came out yet, the lecturer have told us that all of us have passed). So, this few weeks will be last us for us to meet each other anymore because, after diploma, some will go their own ways and some will continue study in Penang, some in overseas, some in outstation, and some will start working. I could have not been any happier during this period of diploma, especially this last few weeks when all of us have been going for breakfast together, play games together, going for redbox and also solve troubles and problem together. I have been so happy this few weeks. Nothing much more I can say.

Group photo in redbox

X-Rated Photo. Haha

Today, after my presentation, they suggested that we go to one of my Taiwanese friend's house in Tambun to give them a visit. So, our whole group agreed, caused we haven't meet the friend for long time. We went there around 7 something, reached there around 8. When we arrive at the location they were waiting for us at the security check point. It was a very nice housing estate with gated security. But, most of the people stays there are mostly rich. There are two part in the estate, one is middle class housing, and another is High class housing. My friend stay at the middle class housing, so we turn right on the junction after the security check point. His house is so big when I saw it on my first sight (almost around 2000 square feet, with quite big garden in front of it). I was shock cause it was the 1st time I visited there. Haha. After calling us to go into the house, I found the house quite modern and very very big. Haha. The house is very very well furnished, and there were a few room along with the living room when we 1st go in, the piano room, and TV room. We played PS3 at the living room with his plasma TV. Wow, PS3 and the TV was so nice combination that I am thinking of buying a PS3 now. Haha.

After we played and enjoyed till around 10 something, we soon leave his house, before that he told us that he will show us a house of another friend (which we all known also, because he is also a former student in INTI). When he told us that the friends house is bigger than his house, I couldn't believe it. But after arriving in front of the house, my JAW almost fell down. OMG, it is not a house, it is a CASTLE. It was so so nice, and so so big. I can't believe it was his house cause i know him in school time he was so silent and so so friendly and even sometimes looks so "leh fe". Haha. That told me a lesson for not to JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Lol.

We soon leave the area around 10 something, and we headed for the next destination, "INFINITY". Hehe. We had our last battle of DOTA as Tze Hau (my friend from Kedah) is going back to Kedah tomorrow and will not come back till when we are getting the result (not too soon). So, we battle each other until 12.45 then we went to separate ways and I went home bath and soon blogged on this post. Haha. Chao.

Good LUCK all!!!

Winson

Eventful evening. Haha

2008-04-08T21:40:00.006+08:00

On monday, I was having just a normal day, went to college to see my friends presenting their own projects. But after their presentation, there were thinking of celebrating abit, so, they tought of playing games in the Infinity CyberCafe , so I did join them. I went with another friend to go to "Infinity" Sg Dua to book the place for them 1st as they all went back to put their laptop at home. He drove me there as I wasn't driving yesterday, we arrive around 5 something to 6 (not quite sure of the time =x). While we was waiting for them to arrive, I felt that something is wrong today, but i not quite sure what was it (of course, if i would know, then I would have became a priest, LOL). After while of waiting, my other 2 friends arrive. Then, we started talking for awhile. But, when I was talking, I saw one of my friend car's arrive and park immediately after turning in, and he was walking quite fast to the road, Curiosity, I went to glance for a better look at the big window. Surprisingly, I saw a motorbike was down on the roadside. I was in shock after I saw my friend was arguing with a Malay guy on the road side. My brain was thinking "Oh, Shit... Big Trouble..." When I was running out of the cybercafe, I saw a whole bunch of Malays standing on the roadside trying to surround my friend. My friend is a foreigner, so, he doesn't speak Malay. When ran out to see him, i drag him out with me, and ask him what happened. When I saw some casualty was on the road, I called them to take care of casualty before arguing. So, they did what i said. After placing the casualty on a safe place, then we started talking(some sort of shouting). The Malay fellow from the motorbike was shouting non stop about what my friend was wrong at. When i finally understood the situation, I finally started negotiate with the motorbike fellow. The Situation is actually, when my friend was going to turn right on the junction, the motor bike was following closely and speedily, so when he was braking his car to turn to the right, the bike bang on to his car and the motorbike flew off (nothing serious, just falling down and bleed abit). He keep accused that my friend doesn't put signal to turn to the right.

When I was trying to negotiate with him, he keep accused that it was our wrong. He seems to say that he is not wrong, but why is he following so close and fast? But the burger seller opposite Infinity Cyber Cafe also keep accusing its our wrong (maybe they doesn't know that anyone who bang on the back is the wrong party, if i am not wrong). So, after awhile of thinking, seeing that they doesn't want to settle, so, we offer for Police Report. One of the factor that i thought of that is because, the damages done to the bumper is going to cost much and he doesn't have the money to repair the damage, so, we need to have Police Report in order to claim for the car insurance. The another factor is because they keep telling us that it isn't their fault which provoke our knowledge towards the "Undang- Undang" of Jalan Raya in Malaysia.

After awhile, the family of the casualty arrived, they came down from the car angrily, sort like as if we bang their car or what. Haha. After i explain to them, then they started to argue that it was our wrong that we put signal too late. But, i told them that although that is true or rather maybe it is true, but that was both party mistake, not us alone, but, he still argue that it is our mistake or wrong. So, I replied by saying "Did one of our Malaysia rules say that is there are a standardization on how long you need to put the signal before you start turning your car". He ended up speechless. So, by rule or law we are certainly not on the wrong side. So, we decided to report police. After awhile the passenger casualty stand up and start scolding us as well. Damn, she was so "lu siao" when she scolding us, luckily we held our nerves for not letting angry and not letting any stupid things. Haha.

After that, they say they want to go to clinic 1st before going to report the case. So, we went to report about the case 1st. When we report in the Police Station HeadQuater (Jln Patani) they took the picture of our car and we gave our statements for the Inspector. They said that this is a frequent case that was mostly won by car, to sight of our relieve. Hehe. After finish reporting and the time is already almost 9. After dinner, we went home. What suppose to be nice outing came out to be a eventful and busy evening for us. What a life experience, haha.

EPL updates...April 06 2008

2008-04-07T01:56:00.002+08:00

This weekends finally ends, so as Arsenal's chances of winning getting lesser and lesser to get the EPL title anymore. But, chances is always there, haven't we always see miracles happen everytime when we tought something will not happen. So, I don't like making assumptions on something, for more positive thinking point of view, I do still think that Arsenal might make it afterall. One reason for my view is because, I like the way they play rather than Chelsea, they play with full enthusiasm as a youth team and their never say die attitude. But, the only things that I don't quite like Arsenal is the "childish" leader on the pitch, William Gallas. If you had saw the things that he done after the Birmingham City 2-2 draw match, most people will tell you that he is not a good leader or some will tell you that he is not acting professionally as a leader or captain. That is the most important incident that changes the fortunes of Arsenal lead on the table of 5 points. The second important incident also happened in the same match, that was the Eduardo injury. Few will say that Arsenal doesn't care about the injury, they have cover for it. If you does, think again. After he got injured, his strike partner, Adebayor has gone through a hell of goal drought without having any goals in as many games. Before that match, he was so in-form that he was chasing the record held by Ruud Van Nistelrooy by scoring consecutive in 13 matches (if i am not mistaken, sorry if mistaken). Look how Eduardo's injury influenced them.
As my opinion, this is the two important events that happen in one match that could really change the fortunes for Arsenal, which they manages to get one win out of 6 premier league games. After this week draw of 1-1 at the Emirates against Liverpool, their title hope have been dented. But, next week will be the most important fixture of all for Arsenal, because they will be facing Man Utd (current leader) at Old Trafford. If they manage to get some result from there and Chelsea lose on the same day, then the Arsenal's title hope will come back again. Good Luck when facing the Red Devils.

Of course, as most people know, my favourite club is still the team that i supported since standard 4, Manchester United the Red Devils, they still play the football i love most. After drawing 2-2 against Middlebrough this weekend at the Riverside Stadium, their lead over Chelsea also have been trimmed to just 3 points. Now, this looks like Chelsea will be laughing after the draw against Middlesbrough. Chelsea will be facing Man Utd again on the 26th of April at Stamford Bridge, make that date, it will mostly a Title Decider match of this season if all goes well. But, before the Chelsea match, Man Utd need to worry more about the Arsenal match next weekend which will be prove to be a Clash of the titans. Arsenal wouldn't wanted a better chance to get back to the title race against any other team than Man Utd. Haha. I really hope Man Utd can win all the remaining matches to be crowned the Champions Again. If that would really happens, then, Surely, the Footballer of the Year will be most likely to be Cristiano Ronaldo again, no words from me can describe him now. After listening that the 2 words to describe Ronaldo as "lucky" and "cocky", I rather describe him as "incredible" and "scary". Haha. He had scored 27 goals in 27 starts this season, the most scorer in the league after George Best wins it in the 60's. What a talent, what a luck Man Utd to have him last season and this season. To tell someone that he's not ready on the big stage, he have already scored 7 goals in the Champion League as well making him the top goalscorer. Can't wait till Euro 2008 in the summer. Haha.

For next week matches, i would certainly hope that Man Utd will beat Arsenal and vanished the North Londoner's title hope this season once and for all. On another match, I would hope that former Man Utd captain Steve Bruce (now manager at Wigan) will upset Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and extends Man Utd leads at the top. As for the 26th April Chelsea vs Man Utd match, I would really hoped that the Red Devils will end the unbeaten records at home of Chelsea. The record started from the start of the Mourinho era till now (guess how long, Haha). That's all for this week. Thanks.

Wrong Spelling, different meaning...

2008-04-06T19:29:00.005+08:00

As usual, when people were talking we need to listen about it, sometimes we can listen mistakenly and lead to a misunderstood. The same happens with writing, when you spell something wrongly, then it will lead to a different meanings. Haha, Interesting ? Of course I have an example for all to see... Lol.

This is an advertisement I saw in KL not long ago, look at the word where they spell wrongly, The word "Story". Haha. Interesting? Isn't ? I guess the developer are in the rush for people to move in or to buy the place till they forgotten what they have build their own, a 2 1/2 "story" house or 2 1/2 "Storey" house. Haha. So, beware when you are looking for houses, either you are looking for "story" house or "storey" house. Lol.

To the developer, no offense. To the people, beware. Haha.
Peace.

New Gadgets from Japan

2008-04-06T00:00:00.009+08:00

Haha, like from the title above, this post certainly have something to do with Japan. Lol.

Last tuesday, my parents just arrived back in Penang after one week of travelling in Japan. They told us Japan was so so fun. But the only complain is that the expenses being used there is quite expensive. Haha. Of course, if not, how do you called it the most technological place in world. Haha, the word was created by myself. They bought us some gadgets to get us up to date. Haha. Surprisingly, one gadgets does catches my attention, I am not sure what is was, because, the whole packet is in Japanese words (haha). And also, my parents doesn't ask them what is that item when they purchase that. Lol. This gadgets cost 3k Japanese yen, so i really need to ask any japanese experts to translate it for me. Haha

This is the gadgets that I don't quite know what does it do, but i do see some ipod sign and car adapter, I assume it something got to do with ipod and car. lol. I better need to ask some one who knows japanese.

This is the another gadget they bought us, which is a mouse (It stated in English below the Sony Brand, HAHA)

The living stlye of most Japanese was quite peaceful. So, because of their lifestyle, many Japanese can lived quite long comparing to our country (sigh, polluted environment). Another thing they told us is that all guys in Japan are "male chauvinism"(i hope i get the word right, which means "tai lam yan" (cantonese) and "da nan ren ju yi" (mandarin) HAHA) as they doesn't allow their wife to work anymore after they get married.

In the tour they went to many places, including Mt. Fuji. I posted the picture of it to share with all of you. The scenery of it is so nice.

This is the picture of the "Sakura" flower which only blossoms during the autumn season.

Another interesting stuff in Japan is that the toilet there are so so called "unique". It can automatically wash for you. Haha. It concludes "Stop", "Shower", and "Bidet"(what is it?) button.

Fat get Rich ? Or otherwise...?

2008-04-04T19:46:00.001+08:00

I heard many people told me when they see me "Wow, you looks so like tauke". Haha. What does that suppose to means? Finally i get to understand some theories about it. "Do all fat people get rich?" or "Do rich people get fat?". I really don't know which is the better words to describe. But, i do get one and best summary, "all rich peoples are fat". HAHA. That statement was made just to make myself happy. No offense to all people. I am just trying to make some jokes here.
LOL, Chao.

All the trickshot action from Swiss Badminton. Catch some action.

In college life, many bachelors like me would like to have more chance to get hook up or attach with some girls. Haha. So, i came out with a statistics that will certainly attract many people's attention. Haha. Those stats are:

Hot Chicks known : none(one to two maybe?)
Hot Chicks gone out with: none (sigh)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paint Ball...

2008-03-31T18:54:00.000+08:00

Picture taken with friends and team-mates.

Me on the center standing 3rd from left. Jim and See Khoon beside me.

Picture taken with friends and opponents.Hehe

Last Saturday, 29/3/2008, I went to Paintball with my friends. At my first thought towards paintball, I thought it will be pain if got shot and very suffering to get shoot. LOL. I was wrong!!

I was shot and it wasn't pain at all, hehe, of course I do wear a armor vest and being shot by a normal paint ball gun was not that pain for me. HAHA. Paint ball includes all the characteristic to become a nice sports, it needs bravery, smart-ness, atheleticsism, and also importantly, it is a team game. When i was in the first game, I was abit nervous of being shot, but soon after the nervous first few minutes, I start to find out that this is a nice and fun game. I was in the team that was winning 3 match streak (it's quite great for whole team of first timer), and of course I was out of the team only once, and that's because I was out of bullets =p. After the 3rd match, our opponents, decided to not play anymore, but since we still got some bullets left, we ask if anyone would like to play some more, then the "Profesional" player ask us for a match. They say their team would just include 4 person, while our team will have how many depends on us. So, we put in around 9-10 person in a team.

In the first match vs the "Pros", we lost quite badly, i was shot in the head and many of our team-mates are unorganized (LOL, it's just a game). One reason we lost to them is because of their "Professional" gun. Their gun is semi- auto with shooting 15 bullets in 1 minutes, while ours were..erm.. a fairly poorer, normal gun with 4-5 bullets in 1 minutes. The shooting impact of our gun wasn't as good as theirs as well as our gas tank is only filled with liquidize material while theirs was in compressed air. So, the first match vs the "Pros" just ended in around 5 minutes.

In the second match, we were quite fired up, and we gave them a fight for their "Profesional" tags, haha, and of course we lose again, but, we manage to kill two or three of them. I am out of the team and of course because I was out of bullets again (the bullets were sold at 2000 bullet at RM250, so we need to refill moderately). We gave them a fight like it's taking our life. Haha. After the game, we went for lunch and then home. So happy with first experience of paintball and really hope to play again soon. This is NICE!! You all need to try it...Haha
