It Keeps Coming

Alright, So after Deepavali, classes continued as usual and things got suddenly shifted to 6th gear. Suddenly you see people running around frantically, screaming and panicking about the assignments and presentations. Suddenly the tone of the lecturers changed from "How is your progress?", to "You better be at least half way done by now, otherwise you will be in trouble!!!".

Fast forward a little and after a few sleepless night figuring out what the H3|| is SQL and VB.net, through some amazingly fast collection of resources, I finally managed to finished my assignment. I guess the best part was when my mum woke up at 6 in the morning and saw me packing up to get a quick nap =p She was like, "Just woke up ah?". I was like, "More like going to sleep now".


Trying too look happy although we know we will get drilling from the lecturer later =p


Ok, I'm sure you wouldn't want to listen to me whine, so fast forward a little and 'it's the season to be Jolly.' But anyone who celebrates Christmas and is old enough to pay for their own presents know that before there is Happiness, Celebration and Laughter there is Panic, Stress and more Stress!


Does my sis have the potential to be a lady boss?


Ah, PC fair was also around the corner...


The angel, the devil and the human (look like female version of Stephen Fung)


Found my friend who was working there.


UFO!!! Nope, It's a flying Christmas tree, maybe Santa Clause' flying machine =p


The morning after I submitted my assignment, I was already preparing for Christmas. Bought lamps for half the house, did a minor renovation to the house, did a little painting, Oh, did i mention that I had 2 papers to sit and a presentation during that period. There is also that dreadful process of using your own money to buy presents for other people, and I'm not talking about one or two people. more like 20 people!!! And getting presents that are not common, and suitable for that person is really difficult, especially when you give them presents every year.

Intermission

Hey, just got back from performing at Mandarin Oriental. This is part one of our three part Christmas Caroling there this year. And guess what? I'm flying to Indonesia in a few hours time, so guess I wont be blogging for the next few days. I know I'm way past due but I'll try to catch up as soon as possible ok? Just hoping I'll find everything I need there, wish me luck!!!

*I'll leave you with with a picture from tonight's MO!

HAPPY (how) DEEP (is your stomach) AVALI!!!

So, after having a great night in Zouk, you might think things can not go any better right? But it did!!! Because the very next day was DEEPAVALI!!! It is the day you stuff yourself till you have to go on a fast for a week after that (well, thats my definition anyway)

So, although I barely got enough sleep from last night's outing, I gladly woke up, got ready and headed over to Sha's place, and once we got there guess what I saw?


Looks stunning even before fully ready...


So, once everyone was ready and the rest of the family arrived, it was time to take some pictures!!!


'Kids' picture =p


Then it was time to EAT!!! As usual, the food had not need any sort introduction whatsoever, they spoke for themselves =p


......*yum*


Then we headed out to smell, the fresh air, loosen our belts and let other people get a taste of the food, and what better time to take more pictures!!!


More stunning pictures of the ladies...


Trying to look like I'm promoting a drink with the two beauties beside me =p


More more more!!!


Only girls...


Damn, every year, Deepavali comes and goes, and every year there is one person that I really wish would be around to celebrate with, coz it is never the same without him. I mean, it's all nice and fun but if HE was around, it would be a whole new level, don't you agree?


Mesh, one year man, just one year =p

Round 2


Ok, lets continue. Let's see, there was the hunting for clothes for Deepavali...

I quote, "So many to look at, so little time..."


Things you can cover yourself with to make sure no one can see who is beneath it all...



Then there was the outing to Zouk for the first time, it was Mumbo Jumbo night too!!!


I have no idea what I was saying or singing =p


It was kind of empty when we went there although it was PACKED like hell outside. A lot of 'RESERVED' tables...


BUT, it was really worth the wait, coz the night went really well!!! These are times where I am glad that I grew up listening to those songs, some even my parents' time... Who could withstand the temptation and stand still when songs like, 'YMCA', 'It's My Life', 'STOP' and 'Jump' are being played? I never danced like that in my life... Try dancing nonstop without having breaks for hours!!! We practically, danced the moment the first song was played until we left (not counting the life-saving breaks we had to hydrate ourselves)


Managed to take a pic between sessions=p


The very next day, it was the all awaited-all-you-can-eat-till-you-feel-so-full-you-wanna-die DEEPAVALI!!! Tune in for more food chomping and cam-whoring at the next post...


Muackss...

A little catching up to do...

Well, what happened since I really blogged? Let's see, I just finished my first semester of my second year, and believe me when I say it's totally different from the first year!!! Not only are you supposed to produce something at the end of the semester (which was 7 weeks), the product was practically not taught in lecturers. You are expected to learn it on your own! I, being a typical Malaysian who has been spoon-fed all the schooling days of my life, was really in a state of shock. But anyway, I managed =p


How I felt at that moment...


Now, I feel much better =p


On a lighter note, Keith and Allison finally got married!!! too bad I didn't have my camera all the time, but the whole thing was almost perfect. Attending someone's wedding is nice but it's nothing compared to attending your close friend's wedding. Somehow you pay attention to all the details, and you just give a damn =p


The theme was Shanghai Glam, so we tried to look as oriental as possible =p


Ppl clearing up behind, but we refused to go home =p


Too much wine...


Second wedding dinner =p


Next, I bought a camera!!! My very first camera to call my own =p Gearing up for Bandung, have been playing with the functions a lot recently =p



My Casio~~~ Watashiwa Suki~~~


Simple, easy to use...


I know, it may not be as 'canggih' as a lot of the other cameras in the market, but it has everything I needed, a lot of functions, slick, and the best of all, my pocket could handle it =p Some might ask me, why not get a higher pixel camera? After doing tons of research, I realized that actually anything higher than 5MP is enough, unless you plan to blow up the picture and hang it on a billboard...


Just beautiful...


Look at the clouds, you can see the details...


I know this are not clouds, but I just love the effects


And finally, clouds during sunset...

Back into business

Ok, I am truly sorry for the M.I.A. I know it has been months since I posted something, but believe me when I say that there were a few times where I was already composing and I just can't seem to finish it, or when it came to inserting pictures and it just wouldn't upload, so I saved it and never finished it (I know it's an excuse=p) So, this is my official apology to all those who kept asking me why my blog is not updated. I'll try to fill in the blanks from where I last left you till now. There are ALOT of things that happened! Happiness, Sadness, Romance, Action, Suspense, you name it. So, check regularly, I'll try to post them ASAP! That's all for now, See ya!!!

Life Thus Far

Well, it's been a little more than a week since I started class and it's sad to say that I am a little disappointed... Not only are the classes spread-out so much that I have hours of free time between classes, the subjects seemed to be moving at a very slow rate. Maybe it's because of the Raya mood. Hopefully things will get better soon... This is also the first time I have a class of 200 students!!! I know it's quite common to some people, but in the past, my classes have never been this big and the cozy feeling and closeness to the lecturer is just not there...

So, what else have happened? Well, recently the whole family headed off to Mid Valley to do a little window shopping and also celebrate my granny's birthday!!! Believe me when I say Megamall looked very racist that day. You could only see Chinese and Indian there! It's understandable since all the Muslims are at homes celebrating Raya, some making money instead of spending them =p It was pouring! But we decided to cross over to the Gardens to see if the air there smells 'richer' than usual =p Not only are sofa bigger there, so are the leaks!

You might no be able to see it, but water is flowing down like a waterfall. Maybe they should change the name to the Rain Forest instead of the Gardens =p


Poor lady had to constantly mop the floor



Somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad...


Feeling kinda bored, so decided to camwhore a little =p


Even the parking area is flooded...


BTW!!! My friend, my bro is getting married this Saturday and I am as nervous as he is =p Another 'gentle' reminder that no matter how crazy we can be at times, we are, without a doubt getting old...
