My Picture

posted by Wengkius at 7:35 PM

Argh! A new semester starts next week. By golly! Three months passed just like that. So I guess I'll have to review the things that I've accomplished this holiday. Not too shabby I guess. I managed to meet up with old friends, and make new ones along the way. Also got my results. Hahah. Not too bad, though I wasn't happy with what I got for one of the subjects. Still enough to get me into the Dean's List though. Made it a point to hike up Penang Hill (84 actually) an average of 2 days a week.
Hmm.. what else did I do? Oh yea. Watched two of the biggest movies of the year! Matrix Revolutions and Return of the King. Wow. Return of King was quite good, especially the battle scenes, very massive. The ending was kinda boring though. Hahah. Now that I've watched the movie, I'm reading through the book one more time to catch the smaller details. :)
I also attended LIMA 03, which was a disappointment because it was raining like nobody's business and the plaens couldn't fly. What a fun sucker.

Hello mateys! Wow. What a bad time to write! I'm actually fuming mad right now because I just met the most obnoxious person in the Internet. *argh* I'm so pissed! I can't believe it. There's no way I can so mad over someone I don't even know. But that's the fact. *argh*. I need to sort myself out.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of my holidays right now. It's quite boring, but very relaxing. I get to sleep all day long, which I can't when I'm in KL. So even though I sometimes end up with nothing to do, I'll still prefer my holidays over the drudgery of KL life. So what do I normally do everyday? Well, I usually go hiking and watch TV. And if my friends are around, we usually hang out at mamak stalls till the wee hours of the morning. Oh yeah, and we watched a couple of movies too. Matrix Revolutions was a blast. I mean the storyline and effects and stuff like that. Coolest part was probably the battle scene and the machine city. We also catched Freaky Friday, which is a hillarious comedy. Really nice. I could never imagine myself enjoying a Disney comedy flick. I always thought that they were kinda shallow. Also watched a Tale of Two Sisters. No comments on that show. I found the story line to be quite intriguing.

There's actually quite a lot of stuff for me to do this holidays, but I'm so lazy. For starters, there's designing a new look for this web site. I'm actually done with the layout, but I haven't created the rest of the pages yet. Lazy me. Also learnt a little bit of guitar. Final year project's coming up. So I'm also learning Java and VB.net programming. *sigh* so much to do, so little willpower. What am I getting myself into? Results are out though, managed to secure myself in the Dean's list. Hahah. Surprising, since I'm such a lazy bum.

Yoyo! Wassup? My exams are coming up quite soon (next week). So what am I doing now? Bumming around. Of course I study lah. But not as much as I would like to. :) Went to Putrajaya last weekend to check out the National Day Parade. Really cool, especially the air show at the end of the parade. Nothing like it. Anyway, as this semester approaches its end rapidly, it's time to contemplate what I have done for the past 3 months or so. My conclusion? Quite a lot! I don't really remember what I did. But yeah, I did quite a lot. Spent most weekends hanging out at my buddies' place in Setapak. Really cool place where the word 'sleep' does not exist in the vocabulary and the de facto activity is computer gaming. Managed to brush up my CounterStrike sniping skills! Yeah! Anyway, I'm looking for a 2-month job to fill up my long break. Hopefully something interesting. *argh* hunger pangs... need... to... find... fooooddd... arghh.... *gotta run*

Hello chums! So SORRY that I haven't posted for over a month! I was quite caught up with my daily chores in UTAR that I even forgot the existence of this web site. A thousand apologies to anyone who might have visited this web site during its 'hibernation' and cursed at me for my lack of updates.

Anyway, how is my life in UTAR? Progressing quite okay I guess. Made quite a number of friends here. And I even managed to pick up quite a bit of Mandarin (and that includes reading too!). Surprising leh? I'm becoming less 'banana' everyday. =) So what's going on with my life? My first semester has almost come to an end. I have around one month left to study before my finals. Somehow, I kinda feel a little bit of pressure, which has made me study for a couple of hours in the night (read my lips... SOMETHING NEW!). Some lecturers have been kinda cool, like Dr. Robert, who invites me to attend outside functions. Mr. Low, my management tutor has also been great! But the odd one or two that have earned my ire will not be mentioned here.

So what about leisure? My leisure activities revolve around going to shopping complexes like KLCC and Mid-Valley as well as to happening places like Bangsar and Bukit Bintang. Haven't went clubbing yet though, due to lack of neccessary transport. Have a friend who stays at my hostel who is very outgoing, which is great. At least someone who can accompany me on whimsical trips. To that person, thanks for being around when I needed company. Thank's a lot. You're really a Godsend. My classmates have also been quite great, though they usually speak Cantonese and have to revert to English when conversing with me. Oh yeah, I did go to Genting for one night a couple of weeks ago. The rates were quite cheap, so I figured out, 'What the heck!'. It was quite a relaxing trip which was thoroughly enjoyable.

Oh yeah, next month I will be attending an orchestra performance for the first time. Really hope it turns out to be a good experience and I won't fall asleep. It's a piano concerto by Sarah Chang, directed by Jahja Ling. I seriously have no idea on how the repertoire will sound like, due to my non-existent knowledge on classical music. I do not have the slightest idea on what 'Piano Concerto No.17 in D' is.

Oklah. Guess I've written too much for a single installment. I'll write more tomorrow or in the near-future. Gotta do some reading up before I go to sleep.

Hey guys! Sorry for not having posted for the past couple of weeks. I practically forgot about the existence of this web site. So how has things been? I have went through my final exams for my Diploma course and I must say that it was quite a breeze. So now I'm in my holidays, waiting with dread for the day to come when I must pack my bags and leave for KL to study in UTAR. Also, my results should be coming out soon. Nothing out of the ordinary, I hope. Anyway, I spend my days (nights, actually) mostly in this cybercafe called EVO II playing Warcraft. The Tower Defense missions are highly addictive and besides, Battlefield 1942 is already a really cool game. Other than that, we also play C&C Generals. Gaming aside, I also go for suppers with friends as usual. Nothing special, really. Same old stuff I always do when I'm free. Still have around 3 weeks left for my holidays. Hopefully, I'll make full use of those days. *sigH* boring....

Nothing much happened for the past few weeks. College has started again and I must say that it's been pretty good so to say. :) Have been up to much mischief again as usual, conducting surveys and questionnaires for my English project. Anyway, I have been going out a bit less, which is quite a surprise. Still go out for supper every once in a while with my buddies though. The results from the previous finals is out and as expected, I failed the Operating Systems paper (didn't attend). My GPA dropped considerable but I have braced for the worse, and it didn't turn out to be that bad. So I'm pretty grateful for that. Been working on another web site, that's why you won't see a lot of updates here for the time being. All I can tell you is that it's some sort of business venture. Business ventures, yup, that's all we talk about nowadays. From opening coffee shops to selling t-shirts. Oh boy.
