sk8

We skated and we skated and skated and skated. A total of 6 hours, from 9am to 3pm.

When driving Xin back home, I noticed that every time I made a turn my legs would twist a little as if I was balancing myself on the ice.

When I was sitting still on the floor, my legs still felt like it was skating on the ice.

For 20 bucks a day, ice skating is not an activity you can do everyday. My calves still hurt like nuts. However, the amount of good clean fun it provides among friends is absolutely magical. =D

Welcome to the 60's!

Yet another memorable piece of my childhood. =)

CYBER COP GO!! xD

I can't believe how horridly cheesy the intro is! I remember it being so much cooler as a kid. Chuen and I used to love the series to death.

The action figures were the bomb. I remember they came with little black suitcases where their weapons were stored in which you can attach to the arms. Just like the show! So cool. xD The Green Guy had the awesome machine gun, the Blue had the rocking sword. I think Chuen had the Blue guy. If I'm not mistaken I had the Green guy.

Ahh.. Good times..





What a fun movie Hairspray is! =D It would have been so much better watching it in the cinema. Too bad I was pretty tied up when it was released.

Xin and I went over to Ee May's place yesterday to hang out and to catch up. I absolutely LOVE her new home. It has always been a dream of mine to own a 3-story house in my older years. =D And her house design is so modern with its huge windows, ikea-like interior and a nice big garden! A gorgeous gorgeous home, haha. It's nice to have you back Ee May! xD

Can't wait to meet her Justin Chai which I heard so much about.

The new shopping center in Bukit Tinggi is pretty nice! Feel like going back there again.

I never knew that Ee Vee (May's sister) went to Monash Clayton in her Uni days. What more she stayed in the Halls, which is exactly where I'll be staying when I'm there. After promoting the Richardson Hall she stayed in and talking about uni life there for awhile, it suddenly hit me. I don't have a lot of time left before I go off.

Everything has already been confirmed. My acceptance letter, my lodging, my course subjects, plane ticket and all. The only things left to handle is the fees and my visa.. I'm actually leaving home..


I'm looking forward to it actually, despite knowing too well that I'll badly miss everything I'm familiar with and love back home. I'm thankful for my parents who gave me this chance to experience life abroad when they didn't have the opportunity. Thank God that my exchange application was accepted, there's no way we could afford this if we paid the Australian fees.

I wonder how I'll fair in Clayton, since I've never lived away from home. It scary to think that my first experience living alone will be in a foreign country, exactly 6372 kilometers away.

2 months to go.


Everything's set for me to go. The question is, am I ready?

Powerrrrrrr Xtreme!

Jon has been posting plenty about his 80's childhood cartoons. I was just surfing the net a minute ago when this particular cartoon just randomly popped up in my head. With a quick google search, I'd like to share with you what I grew up with. =)

Any of you watched this while growing up? =D

Ah, The Centurions.. =) It's just like how I remember it. 3 guys with canggih suits that combine with canggih weapons beamed down from the sky. lol.. I used to run around pretending to be the blue guy (Ace McCloud). xD The ground and sea are for wimps. =P

I love the scenes where they merge with their weapons. Makes me feel like a kid all over again.. =D Not to mention the sheer number of different weapon sets still make me go "Wahhhh..."

Here's their very first episode. You can catch parts 2 and 3 in the youtube site.



POWERRRRR XTREME!!

A gaming tribute

And I thought the Gaming Theme Acapella was good. =D



Performed by the California Band during a half-time show recently, it was nothing short of spectacular. See how many tunes you can identify!

I shamefully admit that I could identify all of the songs played in the video. Seems like I need more time out in the sun. xD

Gibson-WHAT-Guitar?!

What makes this Gibson Les Paul different from the rest?

Click the picture to find out. Look under the videos section. I was going "FUAH!!" =D

Go electrical engineering!! xD

"Who touched Sasha?!"

Haha, Judson and I pretty much memorized the script for all the Team Fortress 2 videos. The heavy and the soldier's vids are a good laugh. =D

I sure hope the internet cafes have this already. Can't wait for the next Subang fragfest. xD

Must see!

Two movies you must absolutely catch if you can.

Ken, Daph and I went to watch it not knowing anything about the movie. Not much was put into its promotion I suppose, or either that I haven't been watching TV recently. However, this wonderful fantasy world of Neil Gaiman is sure to delight. =D Great choice Crissy!


Next up,
Much much better than I expected. Don't let the "From the studio that created Shrek" tag line put you off. Unlike the last 2 Shrek sequels, this show is actually genuinely funny! Certainly one to catch if you're looking for a good laugh. I wanted to take Xin out for my second round of Stardust since she hasn't watched it, but she recommended this. Good choice Xin! =D

Oh how I wanted to talk more about these movies, but I wouldn't want to spoil your experience. =) Catch them of you have the time!


On my way back home using the Federal Highway, there was bad traffic accident that occurred near the exit to Shah Alam. All I could see were firemen cutting through the wreckage to get to someone stuck inside the badly damaged white Proton. Alive or not, I could not tell..

The road dividers were distorted so bad as if they were made out of aluminum. I could only pray that no one was lost in that crash.

You couldn't believe the number of kepohs (not you liesl. =) ) that slowed their car to a complete stop in the middle of the road to get a better look. Even the other side of the road which was not blocked by anything was almost at a standstill. Heck, there were plenty of people right beside the firemen, not helping in any way but taking videos with their handphones.

Idiots.

That accident sure reduced my speed on the road by a good 20km/h. Do be careful on the road, or anywhere else for that matter.


I've been craving for a little bit of ice skating for some reason. How about a mass ice skating day? =D

Euphoria

Finally! With Digital Systems done and over with, I officially usher in the holidays!! xD

It was a good paper, thank God. Tricky, but I think I nailed it.

Bring on the holidays! =D

15

15 hours from now, I would be a free man..

Well, not really. I would still have 1 more paper, ECE 2072 - Digital Systems. But Digital Systems is a whole lot easier compared to any of my subjects taken this semester.

Switching Electronics was horrid. Even the smart ones were cursing through their teeth. I'm rather worried about it. The worse case scenario would be failure.. =|

I already did my best, so if I do fail I'll take it like a man.

A lot of load has been taken off my shoulder recently. After some enquiry, it seems that I got a full offer for the Student Exchange program. Meaning, even if I totally screw up this semester I still go to Aussie, since it's based on my last 3 semesters results. =D

Yay. Good to know that hostel deposit won't go to waste.

That sure takes off a lot of the pressure on me.

But then again, I won't ever want to repeat/fail a subject. I must do my best!

My next paper, ECE 2092 - Advanced Engineering Mathematics B.

My math may be horrid, but I will overcome!!

15 hours..



Do pray for me. =)
