I hit a Jac-pot :)

So far, I can say I'm making good use of my time around. I've been up to a lot of stuffs including catching up with my buddies.

My Asus laptop is all up and ready :).

I'm aware I'm turning into a dull blogger. Never blogging about stuffs that interest any of you. But well, I'm sorry for that. I think I've lost my blogging-mojo :(.

At the moment, I would like to share my current personal thoughts, of the things and people I'm gonna miss when I study at Kampar.

Firstly, of course my family. My loving old man, the ever-nagging mother, studious brother, Fahrenheit-freak younger sister, and I-know-everything-in-the-house youngest sister.

Secondly, my friends. Yes, you. I'm sorry I've never acted like I appreciate you guys, but deep down in me, I truly appreciate every single one of you, my friends. Even you lucky people who are currently studying abroad, pursuing your respective future prospects. From U.S., to U.K., to Australia.

& how can I not miss her, Jacqueline Chan Choi Quin. Early this year, I never thought 2008 would be year someone come into my life. She rose up to the task, the task of filling up my empty glass of longing-ness for a special someone. & heck babe, you're amazing. You're understanding, truthful, affectionate and I can go on listing the whole day. I can't believe you can stand my rants cause even my mother can't. Yes we both have bumpy roads along the way, but which couple never felt any bumps? The bump I meant was obstacles and not the bum, one's behind :).

We're so use to seeing each other often, I think I'll find it awfully tough not to have you around for half a year. Along the time frame, I'll try to come back as often as I could. I'll miss playing with ur hair, and ur bouncy belly :D. I know you'll miss getting your hands on my brawny pair of assets (the assets were refering to my legs, mind you) and what else, 'move it move it'? LOL.

I've come up with this collage of us, merely cutting and pasting. Not gonna be the most brilliant you've ever seen but I like it. Do you ? :)

Babe, thank you for the wonderful blissful time, and I'm sure we'll have to welcome more in the future :).

I love you, Jac, you gorgeous little thing you.
I'm here blogging in the wee hours in the morning, and you're probably sleeping. Without replying my message. (I like to make her feel bad :D) Haha joking.




& so it continues.
It's not like I'm leaving for somewhere really far away, but wtf don't spoil the moment.

If anyone wishes to drop by at Perak, don't forget to ring me and I shall entertain you :D.

I've just read Wei Kit's blog a while ago, and man Wei Kit, your post is so inspiring I banyak suka. Tomorrow morning I'm determined to wake up early to do interval runs! :) It's about time I consider working hard to stay as fit as I could.

Oh no, now it's already 3am+ tomorrow can wake up early anot ? :\

Counting down the days

I declined to join two trips previously which was Malacca and Langkawi because I've been doing part time work lately. Nope I did not work at Tesco, instead, I'm working for a market research company to conduct some survey.

Thian Hong, Basil and Sarah Chan were supposed to join me for this work, but in the end I got Kai Fu to accompany me work instead. We were sent to various places such as KLCC, Mid Valley, OUG, Taman Tun, Damansara Utama, Bangsar and Puchong. Just because the work is rather flexible, sometimes it felt like we were paid to go loiter around the shopping malls haha. I did earn a decent sum of money although I only worked for 4 days :D.

Kai Fu, you didn't regret taking up that offer to work did you? :)

Just a few shots on what I've been up to lately.

Making 'tong yuin' with Aunty Jane, Jac's mummy :).

--

Yumaa's grand 21st birthday.

---

At Sunway Pyramid for Carmen's 18th birthday.

--

Merry Christmas to all :).

Bukit Tinggi

As I've mentioned, I got to make good use of my time, and I certainly did yesterday night/morning :).

Initially we wanted to have a road trip to Kuala Selangor to see fireflies but we ended up going to Bukit Tinggi. So since I'm done with my exam, why not go :D.

Introducing the road trip team,

Meet the team, haha. Ser Siang the Mr RM700 jacket, Thian Hong the Advisor, Basil the Troop Leader, Sarah Chan the Founder, and myself.

Left our place at around 11pm, we actually got lost and overshoot the exit we were suppose to turn to on our way there. We even turned to some weird Kampung Bukit Tinggi which were rather deserted and eerie. Soon after I took over the wheels and our first destination was this Berjaya Club House which happen to have a golf course as well.

Mind you, it was the wee hours in the morning.

Thian Hong and Sarah welcoming us.

Er, Siang? haha.

Where's the "shadow"?
INSIDE joke :b

--

As we explored the place, we found numerous buggies.
Later only we found out we can actually start the buggy, so we drove the buggy around the huge golf course, in the DARK.

Leong and Hong riding it mann.

After the satisfying ride.

--

After that, we drove to the Rabbit Farm and follow up by Colmar Tropica, the France Village accompanied with awesome cooling weather.

ZOMG that's RM700+ covering meeeeeeeeeee

At the entrance of Colmar Tropica.


--

As we venture around we found animals around us.

2 sleeping swans with a not-so-sleepy Thian Hong.

Can you see the bats behind there?

Basil loves Kitty.

Haha damn tourist la, chandelier also wanna take picture with.

LOL.

Lastly pictures of Ser Siang, Sarah, Basil, and Thian Hong with joyful faces to express the joy we felt on this trip :).

I drove home after that, I took only 50mins to reach back Pahang to PJ.

We should have more of this kinda trips soon :).

She likes to move it move it ;)

I'm finally done with my Foundation!
2008 passed by so, so quickly.

It felt as if Thian Hong barely left us and now he's back again. 2008 has been nonetheless, a truly memorable one, chiefly due to the fact I met my special one ;).

This December is the month that I made a few larger-than-normal spending prior to moving to Kampar cum this January.

Firstly I bought a new handphone,

Sony Ericsson K770i.
Indeed it's true Sony Ericsson phones have great features and functions, but I miss flipping my phone with the old V3i :(.
Bought this phone at Digital Mall with Thian Hong to assist me in both choosing and bargaining :D.

and for helping me with my purchase decision, Thian Hong's never too shy to say;

"TAKE MY PICTUREE LEONG!"

haha :D.

Besides that I went to PC fair with Ser Siang, and got myself a brand new Asus Laptop.

Guys, if there's a record on Who-Can-Stay-at-McDonalds-the-Longest (exception for those who's working, I think a possible candidate would be my girlfriend, Jacqueline Chan Choi Quin, and her assignment groupmates.

Believe it or not, on Saturday she stayed at Seksyen 14's Mc Donalds from 7.30am to 11pm. That is a freaking 15 hours and 30 mins! Even the workers has only a shift of 8hours and maximum 12hours. Nutcase. She and her groupmates were all working towards completing 6 assignments for 6 different subjects. Even I myself, who's not involve in the assignment, was there for 11hours. I was there to study and in the meantime give moral support :b.

Mei Chern and Jac at around 10pm. Still steady ahh.

I'm here to share something not very pleasant to the eye with you. Look,

You must be thinking, "Cheh quite oily la, but biasa la ni"

"Woah this oil what brand arh?"

"GG That's triple eww mannn" - 3 of the sheets were wiped at the same period of time from the same source :b.

---

One day wasn't enough, Jac and her groupmates went there again on Sunday. I forgotten how long was it but I recall it was morning till night again =_=.

That day, marked the 2nd month of us being together :).

My gift for her - folded roses using serviette & a stressed up student :p.
The 'sifu' of the art of folding these rose is none other than Thian Hong himself. Thanks dude ;).

Guess what, the following day was a public holiday and she went to Mc D again. LOL la.

---

One of the weekend, went to 1u with Thian Hong, Khy Li and Sarah Ooi after sleeping over at Khy Li's.

Thian Hong and Khy Li.
Haha can't resist taking with my new 3.2megapixel Cybershot phone ah. If you're a regular shopper you would recognise this is 1u's carpark haha.

--

Later on the week was just intense studying for both Finance and Cost Accounting. Felt kind of bad for cancelling a few plans.

This was taken at Tropicana's library playing with Jac's HTC Touch. which is more expensive than the laptop I just bought. >=(

--

I've got around 2 weeks + to catch up with my friends and family here before moving to Kampar.
A big part of my time will be used as I'll be working during the weekends at Tesco. Since I spend so much lately, it's good to earn back a sum of money. Besides that, yeah.

Meng Leong make good use of your time!

Grown

Boo.
I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates. If you're an avid reader of my blog, you can look to point fingers at the following reasons. The regular dota sessions and of course entertaining my big baby. No, I'm not a daddy yet though I know how to change diapers, the big baby would be my girlfriend, if you would like to know.

The previous week was my last week studying at UTAR's PJ campus. Dude, 3 semesters, 1 year passed by so fast, comparable to how fast Ser Siang and his mum can communicate.

No more classes, and that would mean I'm having my study break, gearing up for my FINALS. It sucks when others are having fun, getting wasted, shopping, having slumber parties and pillow talks when you're sulking at home in front of your self-made notes trying to absorb facts like a sponge.

--

So don't you realise we are getting a number of imigrants(refering to friends from Aussies, no offense :D) coming to Malaysia? Yeaa WELCOME BACK guys :). Especially Thian Hong :D.

Upon Zac-Vin's return, we played handball with the gay batch of 2007 and current form3s. I left class early to play with them, only with my boxers on since I didn't have my sports attire.

Then on the 27th, it was Thian Hong's turn to arrive back to Malaysia.
Hongster gave his close friends each a really thoughtful gift, a tag, with our name on and his initials. Thanks bro.

On that very night itself, Khy Li and Edwin brought a group of us all the way to Klang to have dinner.

Dang they have the best-est "lai yau lai lui ha" (butter mantis shrimp) man.
On top of that, I'm suspecting that dish was the cause of sudden pimples popping out.

& OMG you know what's turning on? I was by the door of Yi Ching's room and she was dota-ing. DAMN. Khy Li played the role of a brother well:D(taught his sister how to dota haha)!

--

The following day, I joined Siang to play futsal with supposedly his classmates. No biggie.

*yawn.

At 7pm it was futsal again with the regulars at Footy. Man, Footy shucks :(.

Anyway that night itself, Thian Hong and myself slept over at Siang's.

There's no other people I spend more time on the bed sleeping with other than Thian Hong and Ser Siang. Don't worry Jac, you will beat them in that soon :b.
Ser Siang who was initially tired, rejuvenated after watching Astro On Demand and can be seen playing some racing game.

This is Thian Hong sleeping like a Teddy Bear like how Fardina would address him.

I myself did play a few rounds of Dota myself on Siang'scomp.

---

The next morning, we, which means Thian Hong, Ser Siang and I meet up with the Ongs, Khy Li and his family to have our brunch which I was looking forward to :D.

Without a doubt we have a great time chatting and eating with the Ongs :).

After that, Khy and I had 1 on 1 Dota :D.
We shall have our decisider match soon :).

--

Now, I'm gonna Dota with my girlfriend's brother before Thian Hong ask to go out for supper. Ciao.

Showdown of Champions

In this case, it's champions of tennis. I was never a fan of tennis, but watching current and previous champions getting in on in the court is always something to look forward to.

I was informed by Justin to work for this event, money + watching world class players. How awesome is that?

No, we were not assigned to work as ball boys, merely ushering and ticket checking.

There were these stupid rules stating no food, drinks, umbrella, camera with flash. So we were doing our best to deny them from bringing those item. However some customers were really furious with the rules, there were scolding with the four letter word, smashing of hamburgers to the ground, disowning of their food, fight almost erupted (Khy Li the peace maker). Macam macam ada. Alright minus the drama.

The 4 men playing would be 2 legends and Hall of Fame-r as far as tennis is concern, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and the other 2 tennis greats who are still very much in their prime or slightly passed it, Roger Federer and James Blake.

I searched online for the poster of the event, and this is what I found.

There's something amiss with this picture. Rafael Nadal was not on the agenda. But I'm aware many of the girls, and some dudes, would fancy Nadal getting in on with Federer. On the court.

--

The showdown of champions was held at Stadium Putra. Familiar?

The set up of the court way before the showdown kick off.

In fact, there I met many familiar faces, including a friend whom I've not met for almost 6 years! MELISSA TEH! She's still as small and cute as ever haha. You guys from 6U, we were in the same class before. Ring any bell?
Soon later, we were scheduled to have our dinner. Pathetic one :\.

This is Khy Li and Wee Lee. These people don't bring pens to class, they bring knives. Chefs-to-be. Don't mess.

Kit Weng the fastest footballer and Kai Fu the pro.

Totally the opposite of what we had. Dining for the rich and famous. >=(

Oldies John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg warming up. I think it would be fair to show pictures of them when they were in their prime and much younger, when chicks dig them instead the other way.

The former world no. 1 with his infamous tantrums, John McEnroe. Nice hair. Reminds me of my mum's.

Bjorn Borg. Nice hot pants. Nice hair too.

There, you're seeing Roger Federer returning shots back to James Blake. The ladies shouted when he removed his.. jacket. Wtflux.

---

There were 3 matches;
John McEnroe against his all-time rival Bjorn Borg,
Roger Federer against James Blake.
Team USA (Blake/McEnroe) against Team Switzerland (Federer/Borg).

The one who are in orange were the winners for the night.

Federer executing an ace serve.

Because I'm wearing the tag and shirt, I have access to the somewhere really near to the court and this was my view. You know how tough was it taking pictures with flash, with the security right next to you. Probably the security dudes were understanding enough haha.

Federer up close. Not close enough though.

Er. whatever. This is for you Katherine.

--

I might sound like I'm a tennis fan but I never was. Doubt I'd even turn to one. Realised the point system of tennis are kind of long-winded. Gets a little boring after some time.
Mmmhm.

A picture of the small group of us(the people I'm fetching back except Justin) after work to rap up the day!
