Last Blog Post for 2011

In less than an hour time,
everyone in the same time zone as Malaysia,
will have to say goodbye to 2011.

So many interesting moments I went through in this year,
be it sweet, sour, bitter, or...spicy?,
I will never forget every single moment I spent since coming to UCSI University,
many unexpected things happened especially these few months,
and I truly appreciate those who had made my life much meaningful.
Thanks for everything you did for me, it's really touching, really!

May 2012 be a better year for everyone!
Hope everyone's wish comes true!
Hope we can really make use of our remaining time left before you....

Good bye 2011,
Hello 2012!
Good night everyone.

已经没了感情的家庭

我的家庭,与其他的家庭有所不同。
我的家庭,经常互相吵架,
尤其是我弟和我爸。
很稀罕会有一个平安的一天。

自从我和我哥开始读大学,
家里少了两个人。
平时家里只有我爸一个人,
因为我弟早上上课,
我妈上班。
大家都有自己的朋友,
自己的世界,
除了我爸。
他天天一个人在家做工,
天天对着电脑,
朋友一个都没。

就算周末我和我哥回家,
家里的人都没什么关心我们在外干的活动。
平时晚上我们三兄弟就会呆在自己的电脑前面,
回去自己的‘世界’。
对,我们各有各自的世界。
我们都有自己的朋友,
哥哥又有女朋友聊天,
妈妈也有自己的工要忙,
而平时只有爸爸自己看电视。
完全没有家温的感觉了!
根本不想在港剧里面的家庭,
多么的幸福……

连我也不例外。
我自己在外找到了所谓的‘失散兄弟’。
在他的家,
我感觉到有加温的感觉!
所以刚刚十月放假时,
我都没第一时间搬回家住,
因为在Cheras,
我拥有我自己的家……

在这两个月的假期,
我无法天天呆在家无所事事,
而且我想在Cheras住,
所以我必须找一份工作在KL做。
还记得那一时已快放弃了,
竟然给我在Semenyih这里找到在KL的一份工。
我当时开心极了!
可以把这两个月的假期住在Cheras。

因为这样,
我很少回家了。
每次回自己的家,
都回怀念Cheras的家。
我真的不明白在发生什么事,
怎么会这样的?

今年的圣诞节,
已经不是我很要庆祝的一个日子了。
每一年圣诞节前夕,
我们一家五口都回聚在一起
吃一顿饭。
但从今年起,
我的圣诞节……
已不再是我想要的圣诞节了!

今年平安夜,
我会去我朋友老板开的一个圣诞晚会。
而哥哥也会和他朋友出去庆祝。
其实我也不想丢下家人,
但因为我对这家庭没什么乐趣,
没什么爱了,
加上一些原因,
所以才决定和朋友庆祝。

我实在是太失望了。
我也对我自己有点失望!
有很多人在外已经失去了双亲,
或者失去了兄弟姐妹,
他们想要一个完整的家庭都没有,
但为什么我还有我自己的家庭,
但从来都不珍惜呢?

人家说“家是温馨的港湾”,
无论发生什么事,
他们都是我的家人。
士毛月的家才是我的家。

虽然在Cheras,
有Steven这位干哥哥,
把我看成他的亲弟弟一样来对待,
还比我家人还要更关心。
我很感激他,
我很感谢他,
因为在这19年来,
我和我哥哥弟弟一起住了19年,
我都体验不到我们三人之间的爱。
各各都有自己的世界,
不与兄弟分享。
但我在Steven的身上,
找到了兄弟之间的感情,
找到了兄弟之间的爱。
这种被人关心,
被人担心的感觉,
让我感受到有人在乎我,
让我感觉到这个世界还有爱,
让我深深地被感动,
连泪水也无法停止它的流出。

说回我的家庭,
结论是怎么样,
我不知道到……
但我希望有一天,
我的家庭,
会有所改变。
从中找到爱……

12月6日2011年日记

眨一眼,2011年就这样快要结束了。
感觉好像才刚结束我的foundation而已。

今天我的roommate回国了。
可惜哥哥须去听讲座,
无法送他走。
所以只有我一个送他走而已。

今天又做到晚上七点半左右。
帆靖约我们晚上去Lot 10 吃火锅。
我放工时有点累不想去,
加上这么晚了,
不想要他们久等,
而且我前天才花了两千多块,
想开始节省金钱。
最终我还是决定去
是因为要给我朋友面子。

去到 Bukit Bintang 站,
我连 Lot 10 和 金河广场都分不出左右,
打了通电话给哥哥‘求救’,
才去到了 Lot 10。
我当时还以为只有我,帆靖和哥哥吃而已,
但原来总共有7个人吃。
当时已经8点多了,
真抱歉让你们久等了!

刚到那餐馆时,
我又饿又累,
整个人blur blur 地。
本来还以为有时间想去lowyat买 rechargeable 电磁给我新买的flash gun,
哪知我们吃完已十点多了。
感觉有点失望,
但失望又如何啊,
我都不能够和老朋友在这周五去马六甲玩。
干吗我父母这么严哦……
假期都没什么机会出去玩,
而且难得能够和老朋友聚会……
算了,
这是我的命运……

看开一点吧,
Tomorrow is a brand new day。

睡啦,
晚安

A dilemma over a difficult simple decision

There's one question that I've asked myself over and over again since my friend, Swee Leong, had asked me whether me and one of my friends want to move to his house next year or not.

The problem is....

After two months staying in my current place, I have 'love' towards this house, though at first I really felt awkward being in a total strangers' house filled with non-Malaysians. That kind of feeling I will never forget in my life because Steven had helped me to make me feel like I am part of their family, because they care each other very much, just like brothers. This is because they have no relatives here and they had to depend on each other and so this 'family' gave me a very special feeling when I started staying here compared to when I was staying with Malaysian students.

And because of having 'love' towards this house, as well as felt unreluctant to move out from my step brother's house, plus I am sick of moving here and there so many times, I took quite long time to consider whether I should move? or stay? taking count of the rent in both sides, as well as the behavior of the housemates.

At first I really wanted to stay because Steven is going back China soon, so I thought of staying here to spend with him these last few moments before he leaves. However, before I moved into his house, I told him I am just going to stay for 2 months and had promised my friend that I'll move out with him next year. So it's quite a difficult yet simple decision to make, whether I should stay or move? It's just that I went into dilemma for quite a long time.

But finally I've decided....

...that I'll move out...

Why? It's a long story to tell, but in short, I don't want to be in a place that will be bored to me when someone is not at home...

An off day for my new job

I've been looking for a part-time job recently around Low Yat, Time Square, Viva Home, Leisure Mall and around UCSI but none will hire a person just to work for a month. On the 17th of November 2011, I almost gave up in searching for job and so when I was going back Semenyih to teach violin on that night, I went to Tesco Semenyih and saw vacancy in Maxis Center and so I asked for it and gave them my details.

Around 5.30pm that day when I just woke up from my nap, I got an unknown call. It was from that Maxis Center saying that I'm hired!! I was so happy that I finally got hired and will start working in the following Monday.

Being a salesman isn't as easy as I thought. It is quite tiring but I learned a lot of new things that I've never learn before.

Yesterday Nilai UC had an awards day for foundation studies and I was invited to the ceremony. And because of this, I had to take a day leave.

As usual when I was studying in Nilai UC, I'll have to wake up at 6am to get the 7am train. It had been a long time since the last time I took the Seremban KTM. After reaching Nilai bus terminal, I took the shuttle bus to the college. I saw many unfamiliar faces around the campus now because I had never been here for the past 6 months.

Coming back to Nilai UC gave me a very relaxing feeling as this campus was built to be like a resort. I love the campus very much actually because of its lush green campus, surrounded by forest. The air is really fresh and the surrounding is very peaceful and quiet. How I wish UCSI has this kind of campus...

The ceremony was said to start at 8am but it started in 9am instead. It wasn't as big as UCSI awards day few months ago, but it had improved since the last year awards day for foundation studies, where I was one of the committees.

I was quite disappointed because many of my old friends weren't in the college that day and I regretted that I didn't post it in Facebook that I was going to Nilai UC. However, I felt glad that I met some of my good friends over there. Two more weeks will be their finals, wish you all good luck!!

At night I taught my violin students for the last lesson. However, one of my students was absent and didn't notify us. I felt a bit sad to stop teaching them because I really wanted to teach them, just that I couldn't handle my time table properly and ruined my studies. Starting from today, I am as if a bird just released from a cage being trapped for a year!

I AM FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sem break in Seri Cendekia

As mentioned in my previous blog, I moved out on 1st of November and I never thought that I would came back to Seri Cendekia on last Saturday. Initially I planned to come back on this coming Thursday but because of certain reasons, I had to come back on Saturday :)

Tomorrow 7/11/11, my roommate will be moving to Kepong to work part time job. Initially I had 4 roommates and tomorrow I'll be sleeping alone.

So boring...

Friday 4 November 2011

Seri Cendekia

1st November 2011, Tuesday, was the day that I hated the most. It was the day that I have almost wish that it will never come. Why? Because it was the day that I officially moved out from Seri Cendekia. I was so sad because nobody helped me to carry my luggage down. Not even Steven because he was working. This situation really suits a chinese idiom, "悄悄地我走了,正如我悄悄地来;我挥一挥衣袖,不带走一片云彩". 

The week before my final I told my housemates that I will be leaving soon and they had asked me to stay. I was surprised that they asked me to stay even though I only spoke to them less than 10 sentences in these 2 months time. Was there something else behind their sentences? Though I would love to stay, but due to certain reasons, I had to move out.

I still remember the first day I moved into Steven's house was the first day I moved to Cheras. But because that house's internet line was down, Steven had asked me to come our his house to do assignment. My first impression on his house was that the house was very messy. I was shocked too to see that the master room was decorated with cartoon carpets, children chairs and table, and toys as well. Perhaps these university students needed some toys and children stuffs to make themselves stress-free...

Days after days, I had stayed there for 3 consecutive nights. I was really touched by Steven's friendliness even though that time we didn't really know each other. The fourth day before I left, he asked me to come visit anytime I want, his house will always welcome me. But I didn't want to burden him anymore so I never go to his house anymore since that day until I moved in to his house.

Actually I never thought I could move into his house at first. After 1 month staying in Cheras Angkasa, I had to move because I told my housemate that I would only stay for a month. So Leng Kai offered me to stay with him and so I accepted. However, his room only has 1 bed and during those few days I stayed in his room, he slept on the floor. I didn't like this situation so I asked Steven whether I can move into his house since there will be an empty bed starting September.

While waiting for a reply from Steven, I thought I won't be able to move in because all of them are China Chinese while I'm just a Malaysian Chinese. After some time Steven still hadn't reply me so I guessed I was right, that they don't really like Malaysian Chinese. However, I was wrong. Immediately after I told him that, he said I can move in starting September semester. I was very happy to hear that.

5th Septmber 2011 was the day that I officially moved into Steven's house. The first few days being a housemate of some China people wasn't comfortable to me. 

I felt so uneasy Steven helped me so much. He helped me to arrange my stuffs properly. When I went to bed, he came to my room and asked whether I felt cold or not. Not many housemates are so much caring to the others.

Because at the beginning period when I moved in, the house has 6 people staying, including me. The house was so noisy and I was so uncomfortable to study and those times I really wanted to go home. At his home, I very seldom talk to anyone, including Steven, so I will only talk to those who were online at that moment. As I had got used to tell people my problems through online, I continued to do that even though after Steven and I became brothers and caused him disappointment because we promised to tell each other if we faced any problems. The day during AFSA Night review was his most disappointed day he had, because I was so reluctant to tell him my little problem because it will cause me embarrassment. But at the end I told him about it because I didn't want him to be upset. 

After some times staying with Steven, and after some conflicts we had, our friendship had became stronger and stronger until it became brothership. And because of this, I felt so reluctant to move out from his house. It's very hard to find a very nice housemate, a very caring housemate, especially, that will take care of you when you fall sick.

Anyhow, I had no choice but to accept the fate, that I have to leave his house. Thinking with a positive side, I should be grateful that I had the chance to stay with such a nice housemate, a nice brother ;-)

Today is 4th November 2011, it has been the fourth day since I moved out. Though sometimes I felt that I missed that house, my ex-housemates, and also my big brother, I have always try to make myself busy to stop thinking of them, especially Steven, who has created so much unforgettable memories we spent together. It's a bit hard for me to stop missing everything now, but I believe time is the only matter that can change me. 

However, I do not wish Steven will forget about me just because he has a girlfriend now. Wish he'll always call me a brother even after months or years we never meet each other, because once a brother, forever a brother!

Auld Lang Syne

I have just changed my playlist on the right side of your monitor.
This time I only put one song,
the song that brings me sweet memories,
because I sang that during my Form 5 graduation ceremony.
I miss those moments back there in that very school I stepped in once...
Enjoy~
Auld Lang Syne....

There's always a reason behind everything that happens.
I put this song is because of someone...
someone that is going to leave me very soon..
someone that once able to touch my heart deeply, so deep that I cried once..
someone that truly fits the title 'brother'.....

Today is his last paper for his Degree.
I felt bad to have arguments with him yesterday,
but we will never hate each other.
We will always forgive each other no matter what happens.

I felt glad to see him put 100% of efforts in doing his revision.
He really spent all his time on his studies,
make his own notes,
went to look for his lecturer for guide.
I really wish I am that kind of person,
I really regret my past...
I wish I could go back in time...

Day by day has passed....
The day that I hated most, is approaching, very soon...
I hate to be apart from him
but it is all fated...

Though we might not be able to see and talk to each other that frequent,
but our bond between brothers will stay firm forever,
so strong that neither hurricane nor tornado can break it apart.

All the best! Brother Steven...

Bukit Bintang trip with 'daddy' and 'gor gor'

I laughed out when I wrote the words 'daddy' and 'gor gor'.
Sounded so childish, am I?

Recently I've expanded my family members,
adding another 'daddy' with Kok Seong,
another 'brother' with Steven,
and another 'sister' with Rachaell.

As promised to Steven,
I'll bring him out to sort of celebrate his success in organizing the AFSA Financial Board Game
as well as helping him to release stress
after what happened recently.
So, I brought him out to Bukit Bintang on last Sunday,
with Kok Seong, so that will not too boring :)
I was looking forward for my 'sis' (Rachaell) to join with us,
but she has other things to do.

Because I came back to my Cheras house on that day morning,
I was sweating when I reached my house.
So, I took some time to calm down before going to LRT station.
And because of that, Steven and I were 30 minutes late in Hang Tuah station to meet 'daddy'.
So sorry Kok Seong.... haha....



We had lunch at Lot 10.
The foods looked delicious,
but it's actually the same as those hawker stalls,
it's just that the price is doubled up.

'Daddy's lunch

My lunch


Self portrait

We then went to LowYat Plaza RedBox to sing k.
This was the first time singing with Kok Seong
and the second time with Steven.
I wished Jia Quan were in Malaysia now.


Model 1

Model 2

Model 3

We actually started to sing at 1.30pm and was only given to sing till 5pm but until 5pm,
nobody came to collect money from us.
So we continued to sing, and sing,
still nobody came.
Finally we stopped singing and left at 6.30pm.
They actually let us sing until 7.30pm because that time not many people coming to sing.

After that we went to Time Square Nikon Centre.
I tried out Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.8G.
It was damn nice!


I even tried out my favourite camera,
also the one I'm going to buy! Nikon D5100

The articulating LCD allows us to take self-portrait

Cartoon effect!

Selective colour-blue

Selective colour-green, skin brown
And finally we had dinner at a China Chinese restaurant.
Kok Seong and I were the only Malaysian there that time.
We ordered these... I've no idea what these called





I really enjoyed hanging out that day.
And I was very glad that I helped Steven to release out all his stress.

First ever home made delicious breakfast with friends

I had sore throat recently and caught a slight fever on Monday night.
Steven promised if I get well soon,
he'll buy me 'oil fry ghost' as breakfast on Thursday.
Such a caring brother!!

And I did recover by Thursday.
He bought some 'oil fry ghost' from the morning market
and I invited Rachaell to come along.
I don't understand why Steven quietly went down to buy without even telling us,
so that I can buy with him and also some other foods.
But he only bought 'oil fry ghost' and it can't fulfil our breakfast.
So I fried sausages and Rachaell fried scrambled egg.


I really like that moment eating home-cook foods eating with friends.
It gave me a very family-warm feeling.
Hope to have more soon.
Thank you gor gor and je je!

My foreseen future in UCSI

For the first time in my two semesters in UCSI,
I finally got a chance to play badminton with friends,
which I've waited a very long time for this moment.
It was nice to sweat out to release all those toxic that are contained in my body,
because I have never exercise for a very long time.

After playing, we had a teatime near Angkasa condo.

Coming back home,
I just realised something will gonna happen in a very short time,
something that will change back my life back to where I belong to,
back to where I used to be,
where my character always put me down.

What Kok Seong told me was very true,
that I should start mixing around with my own coursemates,
which I did that before involving in any AFSA events.
But not after I got to know these awesome AFSA friends!
Because soon,
very soon,
all of my AFSA friends will gonna graduate soon,
will gonna leave UCSI University,
will gonna leave me.
That time I will be very lonely,
plus my closest coursemate had recently got a new boyfriend.
We used to eat together,
discuss assignment together,
talk together,
spend time together,
but now, she does that with him,
not me anymore.

Organizing events really do help to enchance one's relationship.
It all started with AFSA Night preparation,
where I started to get to know more AFSA friends,
and because of AFSA Night,
I learned that losing something will make me regret that I never appreciate it before I loss it.
AFSA Financial Board Game too,
going through those glory moments, solving clonflicts together
had enchanced the friendship between Steven and I,
until we can call brothers between each other.

Some people say I manage to make a lot of new friends in UCSI,
yes, that's true.
But, quantity is more than quality.
And both quantity and quality are all AFSA friends,
which will equal to nothing more to me
when they left UCSI.

Some of them are leaving this semester.
It's my fortune to get to know you guys,
you guys are awesome!
However, I should take Kok Seong's advice,
to mix around with my coursemate,
so that I won't be so lonely.

这几天……

不知不觉,
嘉全已走了差不多两个星期了。
他刚开始作工了,
但说被上士责骂,
因为还不习惯新的环境。
加油吧,
你是行的!

这两个星期内,
发生了好多事。
我也懒惰再提了....

但最令我感伤的是,
我刚刚在微薄看到
宏盛说:
“知道吗?再过不到一个月的时间,我就要和UCSI说再见了,很难想像到时是如何的心情,我会很舍不得这里的。”
看了他这番话,
我差一点流眼泪!
我当时以为他要回国了,
但后来他说来不及买机票了。

虽然他还会留在大马做CO-OP,
但他都不在UCSI了。
虽然不舍得他离开,
但毕竟他还是要离开我们,
追求自己的梦想……


可能我把他当成我哥哥了,
因为这种感觉就像我前几年,
看着我姐姐,
踏上火车离开大马,
眼泪也渐渐流了下来。
不知几时还会见到她……


虽然宏盛还没走,
但我知道时间不多了……


好好珍惜我们剩下的时间吧……

The moment they left

Yesterday was the day two of my housemates went back to China.
I reached home around 8am in the morning but they were still sleeping.
Thought I got no chance to say goodbye to them
because I have to attend a talk in the university the whole day.

Perhaps God knows that I wished to come back home
to wish them goodbye for the last time...

We had an hour break for lunch time during the talk,
so immediately I rushed back home after having my lunch.

The moment I reached home and I saw the gate had opened,
I knew I was still in time because they hadn't left yet.
They had already packed everything and waiting for the taxi they had called.
Around 2pm we started to bring everything down to the condo entrance,
where the taxi was waiting for them.

I brought down my camera but didn't have the chance 
to take a last group photo with them.

The moment Jia Quan and Hai Bo stepped into the taxi...
The moment the taxi turned around...
The moment the taxi accelerated and moved out of my sight...
My eyes started to get wet...
I felt kinda reluctant to let them go...
but I couldn't stop them from going 
because it is their wish.

Best of luck in your internship.
Wish to see you soon in January!

Goodbye, my friend

There are so many racism in this world.
Even Malaysian chinese and China Chinese are doing the same thing.
Maybe you too, did notice that China Chinese and Malaysian Chinese
always group with their own gang.
I can hardly see both of them mixing around,
though both are Chinese.
If I'm wrong,
then there should be many Malaysian Chinese playing QQ.
But are there any?

Because of this matter,
I did reconsider and reconsider before heading to the dead end
that I have no choice, but to stay with my China friends.
Yes, I am the only Malaysian Chinese in their house.
I have a little hard time communicating with them.
As a Malaysian Chinese,
I usually speak in mandarin,
combining with some English words,
sometimes with Malay words too.
But now,
I have to speak in total pure mandarin to them everyday,
and I find this a very hard way to communicate with them because I'm not used to it yet.
I have a hard time listening to their slang too,
but they don't have trouble listening to me,
other than I always tell them that I'm very sien (boring).

Tomorrow two of my housemates are going back to China.
One of them is Jia Quan.
You should know who is he if you're a true fans of my blog... XD
In my house, I'm only close with Steven and him.
Though I'm not close with the others, neither they close to me too,
they treated me as if I were their close friends.
(I starting to like China friends :D)

I did plan to follow them to LCCI tomorrow,
but I had registered for the SIDC talk since last semester
and I couldn't miss this talk because I need the 5 SWA points.
Haiz... I really hate to see friends leaving me.
But this is all fated.
I couldn't change anything.
All I can do is,
to wish him all the best for his four-month internship.
I'm sure I'll see him again next year!

New Semester, new house

Three weeks of holiday just passed.
My result is out too and it came out just like I expected.
Bad~
But,
what is unexpected is that I have moved.....
to a place where it reminds me of my childhood life.
Does this sentence sounds familiar?
Yes, I posted it once in Facebook about two months ago.
I've moved to Steven's house.

For the first time in my life,
I'm staying with foreigners,
not Bangladeshi, not African, not Korean,
but, China Chinese.
Though I stayed with Indonesian students before,
to me that one month staying with them was like staying in hostel,
because I can hardly see those two Indonesian housemates around house.

However, this time I'm staying with 5 Chinese
and I am the only Malaysian Chinese here.
Though today is the second day I'm staying here,
I've already get the impression about them.
The experience staying with them is totally different from staying with Malaysian Chinese.
However, I'm can't decide whether to say that staying with them is considered my fortune
because on the first night,
I felt like I wanted to go home immediately...
I want to stay with my family...
This happens because I'm not get used to foreign students yet,
it's the time that matters...
for me to get used to them...

I moved in yesterday in the morning. If I were to carry everything up by myself alone, I would be exhausted to death. I can't believe I brought so many things here, though I didn't bring any textbook nor lecture slides. What did I bring? I've no idea....

Steven, Jia Quan and I helped to carry everything from my dad's car. I was so sorry I had to make them suffer early in the morning, especially when they both just woke up at that time. I thought they would just leave my stuffs at the living hall expecting me to arrange my stuffs by myself. But I was wrong. They helped me to put all into my room, and even helped me to sort everything nicely. Steven even sacrifices half of his table for me.

The right side is now my table.


I really felt bad about myself because Steven has helped me so much especially these few days but yet, I treat him as if he were invisible. How bad I am! I didn't want those to happen but it's hard for me to change my character.

I started to feel awkward whenever he comes close to me. I felt very uneasy with him around me nowadays. I've never experienced these kind of feelings before this. We used to be very close to each other but now, I seldom talk to him....

Today after our dance practice I was about to leave with Chin Mun but was stopped by Steven, asking me to go back with him. He was kind of sad/angry when he knows I'm leaving him alone. I didn't mean to leave him behind but I was too tired at that time, forgotten about him. I'm so sorry. But on the way back I didn't talk much with him, because I was keep talking with Natalie. Even after she went her own way, I didn't talk much with Steven because I felt like we're now becoming strangers to each other, or maybe I should say he's becoming a stranger to me. I feel shy to talk to him...

I never hate him. I never think of ignoring him. I appreciate what he has done for me. I appreciate how much he cares about me. Because I've never met someone like him before in my life, that truly cares about his friends that much, that really help his friends whenever they ask for it. Because even my own brothers will not do that to me.

A New Kind Experience

My dad had spent his whole night with me at City Harvest Church last week Friday, as well as this week Friday, for their opening ceremony orchestra practice. They just moved their church from somewhere near Monash University to SS13/4 and so they had their opening ceremony during yesterday and today's church service.

Though we played only two songs, and combining two songs the duration didn't even last more than 5 minutes, it really gave me another kind of violin playing experience that I've never had before this.

This was the first time I played in an orchestra form, which consists of violin, cello, double bass, horn, trumpet, flute, and so on. Besides, this was my first time playing in total darkness, only our score sheets were lighted by clip LED lights. Means that we were just 'kelefe',  playing for the background music to accompany the choir.

I thought violin is one of very loud instrument (because it can cover the sound of a piano), but I was surprise that there was only a horn player playing in the orchestra but yet, it can be heard clearly. Sadly, I hate the sound of horn. I felt irritated by their sound, no idea why...

........

Maybe some of you did notice that I posted a few very emotional blogs recently, but I'm okay now. I'm feeling much better after trying to think everything positively. And I enjoyed playing in an orchestra very much, it cheers me a lot! Oh, before I stop writing, I would like to wish my friends all the best for their studies in Canada. Hope to see them two years later :D

一日在家度过假期的心情

我在改造我的Blogspot设计时,
刚好我WindowsMediaPlayer播放着
Yiruma的歌。
好触动人生情绪感的歌,就如:
River Flows in You,
Time Forgets,
等等……

不知为什么
这次的假期
感到很不愉快。
虽然,
外表看起来很开心
能在学校帮AFSA办事,
一起和他们有说有笑,
一起牺牲这个假期呆在学校,
但我心里却还是
依依不舍……
依依不舍着一个刚认识不久
但将离开UCSI的一位
好友……

这种感觉,
就如我中五时,
将快毕业的时候,
要离开所有的
亲朋好友……
尤其是那时
在毕业典礼唱出
‘友谊万岁’时的那个时刻……
好悲哀,
好伤心,
好痛苦,
也好开心……

虽然只认识了
不到三个月,
但我们已是好朋友……
或许是因为Unity Camp,
促进了我们的友情。
也或许是因为在AFSA Night 的preparation之间,
曾经发生了些误会,
另我们更懂得珍惜
对方曾经所付出的一切,
加深了我们之间的友情……

他约我和他一起回中国,
我本身很想去……
但很可惜的,
就如我已预测的一样,
我父母不太放心我独自一个人去。
机票也蛮贵……
他们也劝我人不可貌相……
怕我被卖掉 =_="
但我相信Steven是不会陷害我的 :D

外面下着倾盆大雨……
就如我心情一样……
放心吧,
我会永远珍惜这段友情,
找一天我一定会去找你的!

Distance is no mean of barrier for friendship

I had no idea why there were so many unlucky things happened in one night. Firstly, my condo’s internet was down. Secondly, the newly bought washing machine pipe couldn’t fit into the tap and Leng Kai, my housemate, has to go down to Giant to buy another tap. Thirdly, the kitchen master tab was loosened out because it was spoiled and the whole kitchen flooded. He and I went to Giant again to buy another tap but sadly, the water still keep on leaking. I had to tighten the tap in order to stop the leaking but then I couldn’t use the sink tap for collecting filtered water. When I tried to loosen it a bit, the tap will loosen and there was once the whole tap came out and water started to flunk out vigorously. Luckily I wasn’t home alone at that moment and my housemate had helped me to turn off the main valve while I tried to stop the water from bursting out. I’ve mopped the kitchen so many times and I’m sure this month water bill will be a shocking amount.


. . . 

It was another fine day during my semester break in Cheras. I spent most of my holidays in Cheras just because to help out for AFSA Night preparation.




I felt bad of myself, kind of ‘bullying’ him (Steven) lately. I made him angry once, and I made him worries of the gossips about the logistic team in AFSA Night committees. But yet, he still treats me so nicely. Not many people have the chance to have good friends with foreigners. Am I the lucky one?




A gift from me :)
When we were cutting the AFSA ‘birds’ later in the morning, I had a little chat with Steven. (I always enjoyed those little chats with him because we seldom have chance to talk in face-to-face). We were talking about his coming plan and he said that he will be going back to China after his final semester (next semester) but will return for internship in Malaysia. That means after his last semester, I won't be able to see him anymore until his graduation next year. I felt so sad when I heard what he said. I felt like crying out but crying doesn't solve this matter and I couldn't do anything to solve this matter neither. It is our fate that he will sooner or later to leave Malaysia and leave all of his beloved friends here. I'm sure he'll have a harder time to leave all of his friends than me.

Later in the afternoon when we were having our lunch together, I was simply asking that when will he bringing me to China for a visit (as he promised me once) and instead of him simply answering my question, he answered it seriously that he can bring me to China when I have holiday. I was of course happy to hear that, so I suggested that perhaps I can follow him back to his hometown after his final semester. He even offers me to stay in his house instead of having me to stay in hotel. I can also stay in Jia Quan’s house because they both are staying nearby. My determination of going to China went down when he said that the air ticket is around RM1000. Maybe AirAsia will be cheaper but I don't understand why he likes to pay more when there is a cheaper alternative. Money maybe is not the main problem. The main problem is how should I tell my parents about this without having to beg to them. Even for myself, I felt a bit risky to go alone if I were to take the different flight to China and furthermore, I have no relatives over there. Anyway, I hope that they'll treat me as an adult (though I'm still a teen) and let me fly there alone. 


Time flies so quickly. I just knew him barely 3 months and another 2 more months I won’t see him anymore, perhaps won’t see him anymore……..anymore in my lifetime…. (sob). I’m really glad that I chose UCSI for my degree. And I’m really glad that I joined the Unity Camp. And I really appreciate that I have the chance to know him. He is one of the most care-for-others friend that I’ve ever knew. Perhaps I'll never be able to find someone like him anymore. Perhaps I was right that China people are indeed a more caring person than Malaysian Chinese, sadly. 

Sometimes I feel that God is being unfair to me. I always couldn’t get what I want in my life, be it tangible nor intangible. I always envy and jealous the others who can get everything they want easily. It makes their live much more meaningful because it fulfills their life satisfaction. But now, I think that God is fair to everyone actually. I realize that since I couldn’t get anything I want in my life, I will have to work hard to realize my wish. It makes me appreciate my life even more than those who can easily get what they want. It makes me realize that life is not that easy-going every time. Just like the stock market, the share prices will not keep on increasing without having down time. Life has to have sadness, then people will understand what is happiness. Perhaps distance is really a barrier to me now but I'm sure one day I'll be able to overcome the barrier and achieve my dream.

Another two more weeks Jia Quan will be leaving Malaysia. I plan to have a farewell outing together with them for the last time on next week  L. I haven’t got any idea what should I buy for him as a gift. Any idea?

Steven, Jia Quan, although China doesn’t allow the access to Facebook, but with today’s technology, I’m sure I will be able to keep in contact with you both, because I believe what Woodrow Wilson said was right, that “friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together”. Hope we will meet up one day…..

A day back to University during semester break

I was supposed to move out from my condo today, so I planned to take KTM down to Cheras during the afternoon. However, last night Elizabeth asked me out for a breakfast tomorrow morning in Cheras since she's going to hand in her proposal and I'm going to Cheras too. So, I accepted her offer and she'll drive me to Cheras too. Good for me, I don't have to take KTM to Cheras and wait for the shutter bus! And after our breakfast, we plan to pay a visit to Jia Quan's house since all of us are very free nowadays after exam.

However, all my planning went empty when I overslept this morning. I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep again! Maybe Elizabeth was right after all, she told me on the 5th SIDC module that that day was the first and maybe the last time she fetched me back to Kajang. And today she wanted to fetch me to UCSI but I didn't make it.

I had no choice but to take KTM to Cheras alone. It was quite some time since the last time I took KTM to univeristy. The train announcement speaker got improved when it announces the next station. UCSI shutter bus now stops at another different location. Instead of the bus stop at the road side at ERL, it now stops inside the car park of TBS. I didn't where exactly it stops so I waited at the other bus stop and luckily I reconfirm with Pauline and she corrected me. Just in time when I entered the car park, the bus came. 

I had my lunch at the cafeteria at the library. The cashier was an old aunty which I had never seen her before. She was very friendly. She called out the number of the food when it is done and she smiled at me when I took my dish :) 

I went back to my condo around 2.30pm. I managed to pack all my stuffs into bags and called Leng Kai, my new roommate, to help me move up my things to his room. 

Bye A-10-06 :)

Initially, I planned to leave all the things in his room and pay a visit to Jia Quan since I got nothing to do, but the sky was a bit cloudy when we moved up my stuffs to his house at 21st floor. He took quite some time to rearrange his room and clean up his room before I can put my things into his room, so it was already almost 5pm when I finished unloading all my stuffs. 

I planned to go out with Eddy and Rachaell for a dinner and movie after Rachaell's exam at 5.30pm, so I have to go to UCSI despite the sky cries. It wasn't that heavy until I was at Georgetown when it started to rain like hurricane. My jeans and shoes were all wet and the umbrella couldn't help much. 

I went up to exam hall to look for Rachaell and the path towards Block C from the library was a bit flooded, so my shoes totally soaked with all-in-one water! When I went up to the exam hall, she called me and told me that she and Phoey Khee were at the library that time. So, I had to head back to the library and my shoes soaked again for the third time. My plan of hanging out with friends was totally ruined out by the rain and also my wet shoes. I felt so uncomfortable walking in a wet shoe and I started to have headache because of the afternoon heat wave and a sudden cool temperature now. 

Steven was at the library at that time and Rachaell was keep asking him to join us but he didn't want to because he is going out with his friends. It was my idea to invite him out but he turned down my offer but yet, Racheall didn't give up asking him to come along. I felt a bit disappointed too when he insisted that he has to go out with his classmates.

Eddy didn't want to join us at last minute so Phoey Khee, who also didn't want to join us at first, offered to drive Rachaell and I to Leisure Mall but on the way there Rachaell kept 'begging' her to join us and finally she changed her mind!! (At least I didn't have to go out alone with Rachaell, XD).

We had dinner at Boston and it was quite tasty, just that the composition of the soup I think was comprised of 50% water 40% salt and 10% seasoning. And the hot Milo was so sweet too. Anyway, I didn't feel odd about this because most Malaysian loves salty and sweet foods. XD

After that, the girls went for shopping.............. window shopping, to be more precise. But thanks to them, I had a chance to see guys things. I spotted a Nike shoe, it was a very beautiful one, and also it's price, RM189!  I wanted to buy it, if I have the money. Sigh, my current most expensive shoe is just RM60, which is the one I wore it today and soak it with the all-in-one water... (sigh).... and this shoe was soaked with beach sand too when I wore it to the Unity Camp 2 months ago. Speaking of Unity Camp, I really miss those moments........ especially the moment I got some letters praising me a cute guy, and handsome guy. Too bad, it turned out to be Steven who wrote it...XD (Thought someone was interested in me).

Later at night Rachaell and I took taxi back to Angkasa. She wants to pay a visit to my new condo, to see how clean is our house. I was kind of angry with the taxi driver. The meter showed RM4.40 and I gave him RM5 he said he'll charge me RM5 since Taman Connaught has no customer! What the! But Rachaell managed to talk with him and he gave back 50 cent to me. Thanks Rachaell :D

When Rachaell's dad came to pick her, I offered to accompany her down. In the lift, I was telling that the lift doesn't have the number '4', 22nd floor, 23rd floor, 23A floor, followed by 25th floor. And suddenly there was a loud knock below the lift! Opps... Just realised that this month is the ghost month in the Chinese calender. 

Later when she left, I tried to ask Jia Quan out for a breakfast tomorrow morning because all of my classmates went back to their hometown and I have nothing left to eat. Sadly, he has to accompany most of his China friends to the airport tomorrow and couldn't eat with me. But he offered to have lunch with me tomorrow :) He told me Steven will be busy tomorrow too, because his girl friend is coming to Malaysia to look for him, how sweet. I was kind of envy when I heard that, so romantic. How I wish I have a girl friend too... Rachaell thought he lied to her that he said his sister and aunt are coming to Malaysia instead of his girl friend, but only later I found that it was Jia Quan's fault. It was not his girl friend who will be coming to look for him, but his sister and his aunt. And I felt odd when I asked Steven this question and he answered 'what girl friend'. Maybe Jia Quan didn't know that Steven has broke up with his girl friend. I wanted to correct him but he insisted that he knows Steven better than me. Ya, maybe I was wrong after all, but it was Steven who told me that she broke up with him already. How sad..... maybe having a very good friend is better than having a girl friend... haha... 

He told me that he and his other friends are going to Redang island later this month. I felt kind of sad because they China people have chance to go for holiday around Malaysia but I'll have to stuck in my house playing The Sims everyday. And the most disappointed is that I have never been to Redand island, not even Langkawi! I wish my UCSI friends will organize a trip to go for a holiday during the next semester break because my parents are busy with their works and my brothers have different holidays, we cannot match each other's time to go for a holiday. 

How I wish someone will care more about me, then my life will be much more interesting :D

Today I fell; Tomorrow I WILL stand up again.


I notice that since coming to UCSI, I kept myself busy and I keep on procrastinating my work and assignments. Maybe some of you might notice it too. I find that I spent too much time on Facebook recently until I didn’t have time to study. I keep blaming that my mid-term exams results fall because this semester I had to work for UCSI as student helper, have to study for my music theory and have to teach violin.

All these are just excuses! I have a friend, who just came in to UCSI taking Foundation in Music. She is even busier than me. She has to teach 20+ piano students, working as student helper for UCSI, practice her piano and clarinet as she just had her clarinet exam recently, but yet, she still have time to study to maintain her results.

I just had my last final exam paper for this semester in this morning. It was just introductory accounting and it was so tough for me. That’s because I didn’t study enough and this is the first time I have never finished studying the subject before going to exam. I felt so regretful that I had never paid attention to my lecture. I knew that all of my lectures are from 12.30pm to 2pm and I knew I’ll get hungry during this time and I knew I can never concentrate when I’m hungry but I didn’t do anything to improve my situation. And because of this, I couldn’t pay attention to most of the lectures and I didn’t know how to do tutorials and ended up so regretful of my action.

This exam I might fail. My scholarship might be taken away if I couldn’t maintain CGPA 3.2. And if I have no more scholarship to support my tuition fees, I would have to pay with my PTPTN loan. And I wouldn’t have extra money to buy luxury goods, like the Nikon D5100 that I am thinking of buying it now.

All I can do now is to wish that I can get at least CGPA3.2. This time I’ve realized how playful I am since coming to UCSI. Being active in UCSI doesn’t mean it will definitely affect my CGPA but I have to know how to manage my time well. This semester break I have to work for my accounting because this introductory accounting is the foundation of the future accounting papers that I’m going to take soon.

Though I might fail to achieve my target for this semester, I’ve learned a great mistake from this lesson. I hope I will be more discipline after this.

A Sudden Decision

Today as usual I was having my revision in my room and suddenly my housemate knocked on my door. She told me that my bed and mattress are actually belong to the current master room owner, and the owner is leaving on this month 15th. So, he'll be taking back the bed and the mattress. Besides, the wardrobe inside my room, which  has plenty of lady's clothes, belongs to the previous owner of my current room. And now, she's selling the wardrobe off. 

I was totally shocked when I listened to it. I need to talk to someone about it so I went down to 7th floor to discuss with my friend. She too, couldn't believe my housemate is such a person. Didn't tell me about this when I moved in that time.

Just now around 6.45pm some people came into my room and took away my wardrobe. I have no where to put my clothes other than on the floor.

I hope my friend can help me to find another room soon, if not, I would have to move back everything back my home, and will never be able to enjoy hanging out with friends whenever I want.

Exam+stress

Recently I met a new friend. She is a year 3 student of UCSI and is going to graduate soon. How sad every new friends of mine will be leaving me soon. 

From the first day I added her to my Facebook, we had so many things to chat. The first day we chatted till nearly 2am. Interestingly, most of our topics are related to our friend, Steven. I decided not to tell why.

Those of you who are close with me will know that I am a person who jokes a lot. Most of my words can't be trusted. But to those who doesn't know me, you will think I am a serious person. Because of this, I made her misunderstood my true meaning when I was chatting with her one day. She went to tell Steven about it and Steven wasn't happy to hear that. He called me that night and talked to me with a very serious tone and I felt a knife just stabbed into my heart. I had totally no more mood to do anything that night because I felt that I had lost a very good friend. 

I felt guilty of my doing but I decided to pull out the knife and continue my life pretending nothing had happened. I called him the next day morning asking things related to our club and he replied with his usual 'blur' tone of speaking. That night when I was going out with my friends to Leisure Mall for dinner, he SMSed me telling me that we are still friends, very good friends, in case I misunderstood him. Of course I felt glad that he never hated me but the Steven I once knew has now changed since that day. He never talk to me as much as before. Perhaps I was thinking a little too much because all of us will be having our final semester exams soon. 

I really hope I can get good grades for my exam but I'm having to many things to settle. I really hope everyone can do their best for their exams and hope I can spend the last few months wisely with my very best friend, Steven. Of course I couldn't forget Jia Quan too, who will be leaving Malaysia in about a month time. Wish the three of us can hangout once more like old times before Jia Quan leaving Malaysia until next January.

渐渐离开的朋友

人家说,
在家靠父母,出外靠朋友,
这句话说得很有道理。
我刚搬出来自己住,
因为有朋友,
我的生活才变得更美满。

刚从Unity Camp 认识的两位中国朋友,
竟然在短短的一两个月,
已成为了我的好朋友。
这是我第一次跟中国人那么熟。
之前都很怕跟中国人说话
因为我听不明他们的口音。
这次,
我勇敢地面对挫折,
去尝试学听他们的口音。
结果连我的口音也开始转变了!

他们都是第三年的学生,
都快要毕业了。
下个月,
他们要离开大马了。
感觉依依不舍。
不知几时回来。

我感到很不公平,
身边的好朋友
每次都离开我,
永不长久在我身边。
或许,
这叫人生,
都会遇到种种挫折与困难。
要学会面对事实,
这样,
我们才会成长。

朋友,
我知道中国不允许Facebook,
你们走了后,
应该没什么机会再联络。
无论如何,
我会永远记得我们所经历过的每一刻。
祝我们,友谊万岁!

First week staying in Cheras

After so many months of complaining about traveling everyday to UCSI, I finally got the chance to move out to a condo near UCSI but just for a month because I'm waiting for my other friends, who are staying under UCSI hostel, to move out next semester so that we can stay together. Meanwhile I moved out to live with other people.

I moved in on Monday and I tried to ask some of my friends to help me to move my things up to my room but only one was awake to reply my message though it was 10.30am and she was the smallest among the 3 of them I asked for help. 

Unfortunately, there is a modem in that house with no internet line because my housemate paid late for last month bill so TM cut our line and though she had paid it, the line was still not restored. 

Monday I didn't have class, but because of assignment, I had to go to UCSI to use internet. As usual, UCSI library, to me is like a market, so noisy and fully packed, I hardly can find a place to use my laptop.  I was doing my assignment from 2pm to 5pm and it was very cold in the library. I wanted to leave but where can I go? Luckily I have a very nice China friend, Steven, offered me to do my assignment in his house. Though his house is quite some walking distance away from UCSI, I accepted his offer because I would rather not to die of freezing and loneliness in the library. 

I was really shocked to see his house master room is fully decorated with children stuffs when the whole house is only occupied with university students. Would those children stuffs could actually helped them to reduce stress.... I wonder? 

I couldn't finish my assignment in that night and Steven offered me to stay overnight in his house. He gave me a pack of travel pack toothbrush because I never expect to stay overnight here. I'll explain why this is so important for me later. 

The second day I went to his house to do my assignments as well as taking some night scenery in Cheras. I told myself that I wouldn't stay in his house tonight but when I was trying to leave his house at 11pm, he told me that the small entrance to his condo will be closed after 11pm, so I'll have to walk a big round back to my condo. So I had no choice but to stay another night. However, I never expect to stay there that night so I didn't bring my toothbrush and I slept with my mouth full of bacterias. =.="

The third day, which was also Wednesday, was the day before we had to hand in our assignment. I had no choice but to stay another night there. I was getting afraid that he and his housemates will get annoyed for letting me to stay for so many days. However, Steven said they never minded me to stay there for so many days. He even asked me to come back anytime I want. I was really grateful that I have such a good friend. Without him, I wouldn't have done my assignment. I swear that I'll pay back my gratitude to them one day! 

The fourth day onwards I never went to his house anymore. Finally I had the chance to up keep my room since moving in on Monday and I had the chance to sleep on my bed. I never know that my bed was actually so comfortable! That night I found that the new toothpaste I brought from home was spoiled. It was watery inside and the toothpaste came out in small lumps. I was grateful again that Steven gave me that travel pack toothpaste. If not, I would have to sleep with my mouth full of bacteria again..... :D

Professional Pathway Day II


I’ve never imagine that I could be one of the organizing committees (OC) of AFSA (Accounting & Finance Student Association). It all started when I first decided to pursue my degree in UCSI University.

When I was studying my Foundation in Nilai UC, I had already known that UCSI has many activities, despite having just a 19 acres campus compared to Nilai UC 105 acres. Almost till the end of my foundation,  I had decided to study my degree in UCSI despite the UK cert offered by Nilai UC.

Hoo Wen Hao was the first person I knew when I first came to UCSI. He keeps telling me how great and how fun AFSA is and even asked me to join AFSA after becoming a student of UCSI. After joining AFSA, I found that he was right, AFSA is one of the most active clubs in UCSI.

During the first few weeks in UCSI, I had already felt the activeness of UCSI students. At that time, AFSA was recruiting members to join their first ever camp, called Unity Camp. I remember that there was also another camp organized by Student Affairs Office (SAO), called Freshmen Camp. I wanted to join Freshmen Camp but I was too new in UCSI and I didn’t have friends to go with me and I felt a little regret that I didn’t join it. So, I’ve decided to join Unity Camp. 


When I paid to join the camp, I didn’t know that two of my high school friends were joining too - Chong Chin Mun and Liew Wei Chean. They are now my classmates too. I felt glad when I knew I have friends coming with me too. I tried to pursue my other newly-met friends to join but they refused to join because it was quite expensive.

The camp was organized on the 3rd to 5th of June. During the three-day camp, I enjoyed very much. I even heard someone suggested AFSA to organize another similar camp but making it three months! I’m totally agreed with it but I knew it will be impossible to organize such a long camp.

I was grouped with Chew Kok Seong, Steven Lin, Elizabeth Kon and a few more. I enjoyed being with them because we they loved to 'bull-shit', in another word, talk nonsense. And because we loved to ‘bull-shit’ so much, our Hawaii night performance was one of the most craziest and interesting among all.
Told you we're the craziest team among all!
Sorry Steven, I know I'm heavy =.=



Singing My Heart Will Go On

One night after Unity Camp, I received a call from Wen Hao, asking me whether I’m interested to be an OC. I was shock to hear that. That time I was busy with my assignments so I was trying to reject his offer but because I’m a S-type of person (steady person) (the S category under the DISC personality test), or in another word, the water-type of person, I find that I can hardly say ‘no’ to a person, and so I accepted his offer. And now thinking back that moment, I would be a fool if I had rejected his offer.

I am an OC of two events, Professional Pathway Day (PPD) and AFSA night, as treasurer and logistic team respectively. PPD is a seminar organized by CPA Australia, it was generally about investment. Whereas AFSA night is sort of a prom night, to celebrate AFSA first anniversary, which will be held on this coming September. My interest to be an OC increased when I was appointed to be the photographer for PPD. They chose me as a photographer because I was the only male OC in our team, other than Raymond, who was the deputy director.



Because of my SWA (scholarship work assignment), I had to join the 4th module of SIDC on 25th June to collect 5 points. Again I tried to ask my classmates to go but they complained it is just a waste of time as this event is hold from the morning to the evening. Nevertheless, I joined my other two newly-met friends from China, Steven Lin and Jin Quan, who were also the participants of the Unity Camp. One thing I like about China people is that they are much friendlier than local Chinese. I find that both of them are very interesting to talk to despite having a little difficulty in listening to China Mandarin slang >.<

From this SIDC, Elizabeth told me that she recommended me to the CC (Central Committee) to give me a chance to be an OC. I was surprised to hear that because all these while I thought it was Wen Hao who recommended me to be an OC.

Because our PPD director, Caroline, has never conducted any events before, and this will be her first time conducting such a big event, she put a lot of time and efforts to make it a success.

On the day before the D-day, all of us OCs went to UCSI North Wing for a little rehearses. 

Our emcee memorizing his speech

Everyone enjoyed this rehearse even under hot sun.

Director giving instructions to the emcee.

"It's too hot here!". Our secretary.
On the day of our event, the CC and OC had some mini performance while waiting for our director, Caroline, to come for another rehearse.

Is this Professional Pathway Day? So unprofessional. Not serious at all.

These are the dance they danced during the Unity Camp!
After their dance, the CCs don't have things to do, so they read newspaper.
Oh, AFSA on newspaper. Wait, actuarial science student association? What kind of newspaper is this?

Finally Caroline came and our rehearsal starts.


Now the CCs are really free.

Angelina is busy sticking pins on our smiley  name tags.

Our registration started at 11.45am but 11.30am some participants were here already.

So long the queue.

Until they had to stand outside.

And it's now 12.30pm, our seminar starts....

Barely 200 participants came despite having 239 registered participants.
The first speaker
Participants (Jia Quan left and Steven Right).
Btw, I think Jia Quan's eye looked tired is because of his contact lenses.

Liew Wei Chean so happy to see me! XD

The late comers....
I couldn't upload many photos of the first speaker because most of the photos were ugly as I did not use flash when taking the photos. I shouldn't have listened to Jeff's (our emcee) advice. zz......

After our first speech, we had our tea break sponsored by CPA Australia.

Coffee or tea?

Had to stand while eating.

Now we have a little souvenir for our first speaker

Our second speaker, Mr. Jonathan Quek

Wah, so young and handsome!
His name Jonathan Quek, makes me think of my brother's best friend, Samantha Quek. Would both of them be related? I don't think many people would have a surname of Quek.

His session was great. I enjoyed really much despite being a photographer and couldn't join in the fun!

The investment game.




And lastly the third speaker, a young, beautiful Singaporean, which is also Mr Jonathan's girlfriend.



Her talk was about personality behavior. Generally, there are four types of human personality, namely fire, water, wind and earth. Even though I didn't do the test, I know I'm under the water category, as I have mentioned earlier that I had taken this test during my University Life.

The whole PPD organizing committees,
 except for the third speaker on the 5th from the right.
And that's the end of our event. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Hope the upcoming AFSA event, AFSA night would be even more interesting!
