Melaka Camp 2007

Saturday, November 24, 2007

Late post! About camp! Last holiday!


Still loved last IF t-shirt the best

Last holiday I attended the my seconded Melaka camp. Another sun, beach and sea camp, my fav.


For this camp, no dorms, no air-cond, no canteen, no hall even. We slept in tents and had meetings under a canopy. Ah~The great outdoors.


Having arrived at campsite in the afternoon, we spent the rest of the day lazying and lepaking.

Youth!


The guys dug a 4-feet hole...for fun...we thought of dunking someone in but there wasn't time

For the next 2 days, we had sessions and meditated on the Bible and what verses meant.

the morning jog where everyone walked


Lounging at the "hall" after lunch. This was where my mouth worked faster than my brain and...let's not talk about it...


lazy evenings

We had night hunts

treasure hunt at night


Debbie does yoga every morning


clues searching


The committee did a great job but most of us were spent and ended up just sitting somewhere....


they call my camera flashbang


guys pillow talking..in a tent...sweaty...mm hmm


the last of the sessions


the group pic

Glad I signed up for the camp...learned a couple of stuff, got closer to a couple of people. All good. This camp was one of the most lepak I've been to. Had lot's of spare time..This is my kinda camp haha. Best way to start the holidays.

P.S

The pink quiksilvers I got from my sis was STOLEDZ last night at Mark's farewell...T_T RIP Quiks...I'll miss you..

Autumn Vacation

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Finally done with finals. Summary? Three good papers, one really bad one. We studied the tutorials and also the past-year papers but the lecturer chose to center on a puny part of the notes. GG. I smell supp. maybe D: Oh well might as well make the most of my 3 week vacation.
Was at Ah Kit's birthday yesterday. Going to Eddie's tomorrow. So many. Mine coming up *koff*

Gonna take this opportunity to wish both Ah Kit and Eddie, Happy 21st! Wishing you wisdom befitting your age~

Oh and this blog celebrates 1000 clicks. Yay. Another milestone achieved. This blog is 4+10 months old and has 50 posts. This makes an average of 300 visitors a month and 20 visitors per post. Like you'd care. Ahaks. Sorry la exam mode still hasn't rub off.

Vacation this time will begin with Melaka camp @ Kuantan. Beach-side camping it is. Time to practice what scouting has thought me! Uh huh. Then off to Sunway Lagoon with a bunch of nubs that can't swim (including me). It then ends with a week of training for Christmas Act, which I will elaborate next time, at the CF center. Another fulfilling holiday.

So Selamat Hari Raya and drive safe if you're on the road. Play safely is you're not. I leave you now with a video I made for my Robotics assignment. It features a three-degree-freedom robotic arm, a nekkid azian hunk, a sleeping uncle, and tons of weird angles. Enjoy and enjoy.

Merdeka?

Malaysia celebrates it's 50th birthday this weekend. Celebrations are everywhere and lot's of hu-ha in the newspapers about. Am I suppose to be super proud about this?

For all the achievements Malaysia raked up over the years, you would think that people of this country would have wizened up a bit and be more mature about matters at stake. But you know it's not really there yet when Parliment holds a meeting to discuss a Chinese youth who raps about stuff that's real and happening in society, albeit using the wrong background song when they could have used the time to come out with solutions with REAL problems like getting Mat Rempits off the road and the increasing crime rate in Melaka.

My sis was in Putrajaya for the fireworks competition last week and she was awed by the big government buildings at the administrative island(all the government buildings are on a island).
For a moment there she was quite proud but then later thought "did Malaysians design the buildings?" Achievements are not about giant buildings and skyscrapers and weird multimillion dollar roundabouts. All that just induces enlarged e-peens.

Reality is, it's hard being a minority in this country. Can't ignore the fact that racism is rampant on all levels of society. We hear stories of people getting beat up because of their race or how there are no non-bumiputras holding positions in government and all that.
It's hard to be non-bumiputra here.
It's hard to be a non-Muslim here.

I'm not out to bash or to put Malaysia down or anything like that. These are what people talk about out in the streets and everyone knows it although some of it ends up being untrue. Count your blessings and know that there are far worse fates. Malaysia without it's problem is a damn nice place to live in. It's beautiful, it's peaceful, it's safe and the people are most a nice bunch. We have freedom, though restricted in certain aspects, and we ought to be thankful for that.

So yea I'm kinda proud. One of the many good things coming out from this multiracial community is the rich food and culture. I love it here and Ican't imagine living anywhere else. 50 years is short and the country is still young, still much to learn. So count your blessings and say a prayer for our dear country and it's leaders.

Happy 50th Malaysia.



(sensitive stuff i speak of here. the good thing about small readership is I get to post this without all the over-sensitive hoes raining down crap on me. :D)

CF Tenth Anniversary

Friday, August 24, 2007

Two exams this week. Pardon the slow updates.

MMU turns 10 and so does Christian Fellowship(CF) of MMU. The committees from both campuses worked hard to organise this event cum reunion with the theme WE ARE ONE. They invited the pioneer batch of MMU who started the CF itself. Also present were the other nine batch of students for every year including my year. Note MMUCF is CF Malacca campus and CFMMU is CF Cyberjaya campus.


The ticket


The anniversary magazine

The whole event was held at Mahkota Century Hotel and stretched from 3pm till 9pm. CFMMU from Cyberjaya campus were among the people there.

Lot's of faces I've never seen before


Very lavish

There were a few performances by both campuses that included a dance, a musical presentation and two band performances.

CFMMU's opening dance


CFMMU's Oneted


MMUCF's PG165

Didn't get to take a pic of the MMUCF's musical presentation but think of it as STOMP with Amazing Grace as it's central theme. After that food was served for hi-tea. Good food I must say.
No pics because I was busy eating. Later the seniors and pastors gave testimonies about the forming of CF and also how it was like back then.
Then we had photo sessions for each batch.


The pioneer batch, from 1997. Notice they have kids and most of them are married


Class of '01


Class of '02


Vijay and Lenard attention whoring


Class of '03


Class of '04. Spot me pls...

Pic for '05 came out too blurry.


Class of '06


Class of '07. The babies of CF


The group pic of EVERYBODY...a sea of people...and where was I?


Playing the fool with other fools behind everyone :D

All the Cyberjaya peeps. No pics for Malacca cause I was in the pic

After that was praise and worship session and it was already around 7pm. I left at 8 to rush to St. Francis Institution, my alma mater for yet another reunion. Lot's of pics this post. For even moar! pics go to Andrew's blog.
CF has a quite an interesting history. MMU disallows any society that is religion based so for a few years CF operated underground. As some of the seniors would tell you, CF today is somewhat illegal as well D: So that means I'm in a member of an underground movement? Expedacious!

Graduation

Monday, August 13, 2007


Last weekend was my brother's graduation/convocation. I'm gonna refer to it as graduation because it's cooler.
I was already in KL on Friday because we needed to take family photos and stuff at a wedding studio in SS/dunno what. Sis had to get to the Terengganu that night. Anyway I'll post some photos of that once I get them.

Stayed the night at a condo in Bukit Jalil courtesy of my bro's boss. Nice dude. Stayed with Ay Lai; my bro's gf and her family

6.30 am

Had to make our way there early because the graduates have to be at the hall at 7.30am.

The flowers me and sis got for them both..habis la my one month gaji  :O


Looking nice in graduation garb

Knowing the ceremony is gonna last around 4 hours, I made plans with Vijay who was staying at some cf dudes at Cyberia. 
So after dropping them off I accompanied them to the hall and made off after they went in. I called Vijay who sleepily led me in the apartments and I crashed on the couch for the next 5 hours haha.

Meanwhile...
The graduates making their way in.


The Chancellor forgot-her-title Siti Hasmah


List of graduates from his major

Then the speeches were given by the Chancellor and other big shots.

I think this is displayed when the graduate is called up to receive their empty degree. This is my bro's. Can't really see what he wrote. And yes when they go up to receive their degrees, it's just an empty box and you have to collect the real thing after the whole ceremony. Love MMU.

When it was all done..and I was still sleeping on the couch


Bro and Ay Lai


Throwing their rented hats around...so graduation eih


The robes are colour-coded for each faculty. If only engineering got the silver ones...

Bro and his friends camwhored for the next 3 hours while I hung out with the cf dudes who were also graduating. Then we left for Alamanda Putrajaya for lunch.


Manhattan Fish Market ~
 

Bro's treat of course


This really cool bamboo forest in Alamanda. Have I told you I love bamboo forests?


Guess mom was so happy she got me White Chocolate and Macadamia Cake from Secret Recipe. Sinfully sweet. I mean the cake of course.

Bro's working in Penang now in the same engineering firm as Ay Lai. For me it's already like she's my sister-in-law haha since my mom and pops both approves. Her parents also approves. So next time I've got a place to stay if I visit Penang :D

Got a little lecture on the way back to Malacca after that; "must study harder so I can graduate too." Both my brother and sister have graduated and have started working. I'm the only bum left at home that is leeching their money
>.< Mom didn't say that haha I was just thinking.
But I'm not in a hurry to graduate and start working, I wanna spend this 2 years of sanctioned unemployment to the max.

Saw these people in Malim after reaching Malacca. Weird modified tall bikes dangling with performing items like hula hoops and a guitar. Travelling performers I guess. They attracted a lot of attention too as motorists was stopping by the roadside to take pictures of them. So if you see them anywhere in Malacca please tell me. I'm curious :D
