A draft for the broken-hearted

June 2010. Excited about my trip to Perth. When your name came up out of a harmless conversation with a friend the day before the holidays. Added you in Facebook. Your first response is 'weird'. You felt weird cause we know each other but never spoke at all and my sudden addition of you to my list of friends made you feel weird. Strange enough.

At first, it was just Facebook and MSN. I look forward to your wall posts and the moment when you sign in on Messenger. We would chat till 4 in the morning but not 5 because that's when conversations start to get boring. HAHA! Nursing your broken heart for that 2 weeks every night never seem to tire me although I had to wake up early for tours around Perth. No. I couldn't resist your charm at the time. Or perhaps it was the sense of pity? Until today, I still can't clarify how I fell madly in love with you.

While waiting for the flight back to Sibu, I connecting to the Internet. Checking my Facebook and signing into my MSN, I  anxiously wait for you appear online. And you did. It was small talk at first then I suddenly attempt to request for your cellphone number. "My phone is very quiet.", I typed. Your response was annoyance. But you still gave what I wanted.

From then on, texting became a part of life. At first, just a dozen messages a day. Slowly, it became a routine that starts when either of us wakes up first and ends if one of us doze off. The feelings got more intense as time flies. 

Savvy?

There's no end to the blue ocean
Waving in an endless motion
The sun sets one day with resentment
Bringing new testament.


Now roaming seas has restrictions
Cause of merchant's evil notions
Freedom no longer exist
But we still persist.


Yo-ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high!
Heave-ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die...




A pirate's life is the life for me.

Update for the sake of it

Sitting on a comfortable sofa in the student lounge of FEB (Faculty of Economy & Business) with a couple of friends. It's after 12 so the lights are out automatically. All this just so I can go online.

The security guard passed by just now.

#SWkuching & Pesta Konvo UniMAS

GAH!! Feels like forever since my last update. I'm going make it up to you guys with many pictures. :D

We had an election a few weeks ago to choose the representative of 1st year FCSIT students. I was nominated but didn't win. Congrats to Henry who won! Woohoo!!!

Can you guys see the SPR logo? The situation is so serious. o.o'"

Just last week, I participated in the Digi's Challenge for Change workshop, also known as Startup Weekend internationally. Very grateful for the wonderful experience and wealth of knowledge I've accumulated during the 48 hours. Met up with a lot of cool people too. Especially Jason, the super nice mentor from NZ.

I know what's on their mind. "When are you going to stop goofing around?!?!"

The boss of our marketing team seriously stressed out after the presentation.

Intermission time. A beautiful scene I caught with my 5MP handphone camera. Seriously considering a DSLR. Canon? <3

Somewhere over the rainbow~

Yesterday!

During practise. I was slacking. :p

On our way to McD around 2am. xD

Yep, that's me sippin' some tea.

Wish I could have what they're eating.

We ate and relaxed while watching a Spongebob movie. All dozed off and forgot about practise. Except our captain. He woke us all up and we went back to our rooms around 5am. o.0

And just this morning, Derrick and I walked around the campus to witness the various events happening.  There's the fishing competition. 1st prize is a motorcycle and 2nd is an iPad. What is there to lose? At BHEP, our university's version of Master Chef takes place. There's the auto show. Talked with an uncle who owns a VW beetle and pays only RM11.20 annually for road tax. I think I better let the pictures do the talking. :D

More hooks entangled than fish caught, I presume.

Professionals and their knives.

Kebab Tunok <3

Spiderman's mode of transport?

I wish I own Fredo. :')

Front is for NOS, girls can sit in the trunk.

My friend's team cooked up these great looking dishes. Good job, Benjy!

The seriously professional team even tagged their food.

 And that's all for today. I have dance practise at 10 later. Wish me luck for the streetdance competition tomorrow. And I just realised that I always end my post with a picture of my friends in CAIS. Here's another one. :p

So focused! =.=

Dead yet?

I was afraid for awhile that my blog might fail like its predecessors. How I wish I could be more active online I do not possess a broadband modem and the wireless connection is oblivious at my room. My university life is hectic because I took part in various activities which I enjoy very much. But practice sessions for the coming street dance competition consume too much time and it makes me lack sleep. 

From the time when last night’s practice session ended around 2am till now, I have not slept a wink at all. FYI, it is 6.49am now. I plan to walk over to my faculty around 7am so that I can go online. Then I’ll upload this post and do some other stuff that I desperately need to complete using Internet. For example, Facebooking. Then I’ll sleep in SIR (Student Interaction Room) till 10am which is the time when my first lecture of the day starts. SIR is a room reserved for FIT students only. Hurrah!!! 

Recently, my friends and I participated in the 30 Hours Famine program as volunteers. Aside from the negativity such as exhaustion, starvation and severe lack of sleep, it was very rewarding overall. I learnt more about appreciation and gratification. That 30 hours made me reminisce my mum’s cooking. How I regret the times when I detest and complain about the dishes she prepared. I miss my mum. :’)

 

"RM100 pergi sana. Lu mau naik tak?"

"Yes, I can carry you!" he said to a girl at the balcony.

All stressed out cause a friend is stuck in the toilet.

Hard at work though we're hungry.

The nicest artwork of a particular challenge but they didn't win.

 

*sigh* 

This is a relatively short post because I wanna take a bath soon and then start walking towards my faculty. Which takes around 10 minutes. That’s if I don’t fall asleep or faint on my way there. Wish me luck.

PS. I hope I still have readers following my blog.  

How's Malaysia Day?

This is a continuation from the previous post. Woke up at 5.50am sharp. The two of us walked back to our respective hostel so we can get ready for the morning's program. Everyone gathered and marched to the designated area. I actually got a seat but was forced to move to make way for the ladies. I'm a gentleman ba~

Can you spot the sleeping beauty?

The gang and I went to Kolej Allamanda for lunch. Ordered 'bakso' from the noodles stall. Delicious but the meat balls tasted kinda funny. Rotten, I guess. And then we saw crabs on our way out. CRABS?!?! How many canteens/cafeterias/food courts actually served crabs as one of the economy rice dish choices?

Crusty crabs. o.o

Roamed around the university and took pictures. As if we were tourists.

We believe we can fly. ^^

Emotional break down while waiting for the bus.

The bus came around 30 minutes later and we walked to Desa Ilmu. This is not my first time there. Will blog about it after this. Brought the first-timers to go shopping. I act as the GPS. A really efficient one. I made sure our last stop would be Sunrise Cafe. A non-halal coffee shop. :D

All act like 'towkays' after the sumptuous meal.

 And so the next morning was very sunny so I took the golden opportunity to wash my big pile of clothes and hung them all on the 10 meter string I bought with a friend. A hot cup of Nescafe and Robert Kiyosaki's book kept me company as I watch over the clothes.

Watchdog. Criminals beware.

Birds bombed his laundry. XD

The story to this pool of blood is quite complicated. Allow me to cut to the chase. Someone fell down from the stairs that morning around 7am. I found out it was my housemate who fell a few hours later. He had a big gash across his left eyebrow.

The crime scene.

Jorim sent me to the Spring that afternoon. Met up with Dyllon and his girlfriend, Sherry. Had a really nice chat with them. Too bad we didn't take any pictures together. :(

Actually I met Kelly and Chia Xin at MPH first while waiting for the 'royal' couple. LOL! Hung out with them after dumping Dyl and Sherry. We were going to take a cab back to uni but fortunately another friend came to our rescue. Got acquainted with the three of them at a coffee shop as we enjoy the afternoon tea.

And so on this Sunday morning, I went to Samarahan Methodist Centre. Ate breakfast alone at Sunrise while watching Captain America. When I got dropped off at the hostel by a very friendly driver, I went back to pick up my laptop and headed for the library. Met Kelly and Chia Xin there again. How lucky! HAHAHA!!

We did calculus for the entire afternoon. I kept ushering them to take lunch but neither budged. So we postponed our meal till around 4pm. Ate a seriously odd dish. Still curious why the rice is blue coloured.

 Nasi Kerabu Kelate.

 And then we had a long winding conversation till 6, I guess. BAM! And we're back in the library. As I type this post, they're...

Both busy Facebooking. Not doing their tutorials. :p

UNIMAS, a first.

In the 24 hours study room alone

Currently, I'm at the 24 hours study room with a friend. He went out to "water" some plants so I was alone for awhile. There's another stranger in the room with us actually. But he's sleeping on the chairs.

Let's get back to the main track. My first week in UNIMAS is... exhilarating. The smell of freedom is so sweet but at the same time, the weight of responsibility increases.

Too lazy to talk about what happened during my orientation week. Also known as Majlis Aluan Pelajar (MAP). Will just post pictures cause my memory is kind of hazy regarding the previous week.

The last day of waking up from my bed in September 2011.

The convoy to Kuching. Nice picture considering the fact that I'm using a 5MP phone camera.

The hills actually look great from my view.

Stayed over at a relative's house without Internet access for 3 days. Yes, I'm a slave to Internet. :p

We're the first batch to use DeTAR PUTRA Hall!

All of them are texting in unison.

Marching to DeTAR PUTRA Hall early in the morning for Majlis Ikrar Pelajar (MIP).

Not Domo-kun but still eye-catching.

Something magical that the LOs did to make everyone fall asleep.

Memories they'll treasure forever.

Mid-Autumn Festival without family. :(

Entranced by this traditional Melanau dance.

HAHAHA!!! So fragile~ Can't even last the month.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery. :)

So fast sleep. =.=

So my friend is on the verge of slumber. I think I'll do the same cause we'll be participating in the Malaysia day event tomorrow morning at 7am. And there's so much more to blog about so I'm keeping this short. Good night~
