Tomoki's Life Of Wonders

End of a period of semi-dieting

2010-07-03T20:08:00.001+01:00

Not that I wanna end it. But I believe after my return to Malaysia my parents wouldn't give me a single chance to eat apples, strawberries and yogurt alone everyday for the sake of getting a normal weight. Salad plus baguette with chicken for a dinner accompanied with a glass of fresh orange juice. How nice!

Jelly

2010-06-26T23:35:00.001+01:00

Made quite a serious mistake by adding too much water/cold juice while keeping the jelly mix way under par. Thanks to the fast freeze section, it saved the whole thing and made it reasonably on par with my previous products during Chinese New Year. I LOVE MY JELLY!

Headache

2010-06-10T20:15:00.003+01:00

One of the only few times that my whole head is vibrating as much as a hot gas at 800K will. My head needed both my hands to support it occasionally as if it was going to burst. This exam was one piece of crazy shit. Surprisingly and nostalgic was the moment when I sat down, Amelia, 2 seats away from me was shouting "WHY DO WE HAVE GRAPH PAPER? HUH!?!?!?!?!?" so many times that even I was laughing. =/

1 Down, 5 More To Go

2010-06-03T00:06:00.002+01:00

As titled, Mathematics has came to an end where the remaining papers with a lot of blank spaces in between each section of the formula sheets are used for Reaction Engineering right now. Today's paper was satisfactory, as a strong subject of mine. Which means, I might do terribly bad on the other remaining 5? Gosh, hell knows.

Thinking of these made me thought of something I saw a few years ago. "Imperial College London, the top school for engineering". They wrote that for the sake of reputation, the elderly and the previous generations will think that "Ooooh, nice place to send my children over." We'd think, "Hmm, it wouldn't be that bad right? At least I won't be suffering in Cambridge by its workload or cheap places with lousy lecturers."

By interpreting the previous statement using another perspective, top engineering school = best place for engineering students to suffer. As the equipments here are relatively more outstanding (the fact that my whole department is gonna have an entire makeover this summer after exams), the length and stuff of a lab report is indeed scary. FOIL!

P/S: Some hard headed lecturers here actually expect students to know whatever they are gonna teach beforehand COMPLETELY and assumes we are able to understand no matter how shitty the notes are or how bloody confusing they teach. FOIL x2!

Pizza

2010-05-29T23:03:00.002+01:00

During lunchtime, thought it'll be good to have pizza out. 2 main courses for 1 at Pizza Hut at High Street Kensington. However I predicted the weather to be slightly unpleasant already upon leaving the flat. After printing the voucher, I went home and ordered pizza online at this website . They are so prompt they reached my flat like more than 5 minutes beforehand!

The Last Official Class

2010-05-20T16:04:00.002+01:00

There goes the last official revision class of the whole academic year, which means here comes the so called study week and the chaotic waves of examinations shall be coming up not long from now.

Randomness: Pure STR rookie digimons are imba and are potentially stronger than champions. It is also evident that pure STR warriors in MapleStory are strong.

Question: Is pure INT imba...?

My 200th Post

2010-05-13T09:24:00.010+01:00

Thought of recording this song as a piano instrumental, 你的行李(Your baggage). As it's a song that isn't included in an album and is just Eli Hsieh's composition of his own, he purely recorded in and posted on youtube which fetched like 4000+ views. Guess what, after letting my friends hear this song, all of them that replied gave positive feedback and even some of them can hum the melody out of the blue too! We'll see, his original video, and my piano instrumental transcription:

Note: Since I'm famous among my friends for failing aural everytime, don't expect to hear really amazing stuff out of me this time as I was facing 2 pieces of paper without a single music note only. There was only chords and lyrics on it.

Another Post, Finally

2010-05-06T22:31:00.002+01:00

After such a long period of time (well I felt so), finally here comes another blog post.

The main point of this post is...I'VE FINISHED TODAY'S MASTERY EXAM! Although I did it quite slowly as the last question was a little long I caught myself panic even before starting to write (question 6). After I regained my grip and read the question over and over again I finally regained conciousness and finished it off. (Not perfectly, of course, judging from the amount of effort I put in prior to this)

Funny thing was, although the equation sheet was initially not given, I actually worked out the relative volatility thing myself and plotting the graph for question 4, after a series of panicking =x. It was then announced that the equation sheet will be given out shortly and for the sake of fairness, Serafim extended the exam period for another 30 minutes. Upon receiving the equation booklet, he said: "Since I'm in a good mood today, let's extend it for another 30 minutes, that's one FULL hour, until 6 p.m." Yeah, I was...STUNNED.

Next, I finally figured out many things with the TV, finally found the HDMI port, and finally I watched Ip Man 2, Mandarin version on the wide screen TV, after experiencing status updates of facebook one after another saying how marvelous the movie is. I also figured out why I was rejected at the age of 5 and asked to come back after I grown up by SJK (C) Chin Woo to learn Chinese martial arts, hahahaha.

I shall end this post with some "golden phrases" (金玉良言) presented in the show which are really meaningful in many ways:

武術貴在中和,不爭之爭.
比武點香，不是為了計時，而是代表了中國人的謙遜.
我們的身份有高低之分,但是人格不應該有貴賤之別.

MapleStory - Ellinia

2010-02-25T23:11:00.003Z

Thought of recording again...This time it's a BGM from MapleStory:

Note: Vibraphone voice was used, didn't want it to sound like a normal upright piano.

Note 2: Minor mistakes were made. =x

Fire Alarm

2010-02-24T15:27:00.007Z

It's a long time I haven't hear a loud and serious version where everyone in the affected building has to run all the way out to either the fire assmebly point or find shelter somewhere else.

Take #1

Take #2

That wasted 7 minutes and I think the first year tutorials for Chem Eng are half screwed, alongside with a bugged lecture for us and Aero first years. Sad ACE Extension for the morning.

Some additional interesting stuff, I finally recorded a proper video all by myself. Quality kinda bad, not prepared and stuff. There's always a first time right? Haha. As shown below in the youtube video is Tommy Chiu playing Streamside, one of the BGMs of Ragnarok Online (Mum, don't say I play RO for nothing).

Brief description: The BGM of Ragnarok Online at Prontera fields, mainly outside Prontera and Izlude.

Note: The sustainability of the Digital Piano is rather poor, there's literally minimal sound produced when I pedal and lift my fingers away from the keys after pressing them.

Note 2: I used Vibraphone voice didn't want it to sound like i'm playing on a normal upright piano.

Note 3: Really sorry about the mistakes made and awkward sustains...

Happy Chinese New Year

2010-02-15T00:09:00.004Z

12/2/10, Friday

Prior to the Chinese New Year, and after baking peanut cookies for the first time at Hui Xian/Grace's place, Ying Fei/Jyi and friends thought of doing it again, at their hall this time. Scary thing is that we started at 11 at night...

From left: Min Yunn, Wern Chia, Jia Lin, Jyi, Brian (Ying Fei's late)

Made many batches, this is one of it, there were so many until there are extra to put into plastic containers to serve naughty juniors the next day XD

13/2/10, Saturday

Today it's the CNY potluck dinner at Chamberlain, I was invited by Kenneth Lee. Really had no ideas what to do as I woke up at 2 pm due to excessive cookie baking the night before. Thought of making jelly, bought ingredients and tried. However, couldn't make it on time:

You see the spoon inside, are you able to conclude that it's a liquid? (If you are taking Chemical Engineering and can't conclude that, please go home)

Therefore I continue refrigerating, and bought sainsbury basics lasagne instead, which turned out WAY better than expected. XD

Too bad no pictures taken at the dinner, I did it on purpose because I believe I'd drop my camera somewhere and someone tall will definitely step on it and it'll be a gone case.

14/2/10, Sunday

I woke up, went to the fridge.

Not as successful. Still addictive, the bigger portion is better

YiJet introduced me a big big shopping complex, near Sheperd's Bush:

Westfield

He window shopped whichever shop we went in, while I bought a pair of shoes, jacket and a few.....don't know what's that. Haha. Anyway, soon after the sun set, I rushed my way to Zone 3 to meet my cousin Shin Ann to have my second CNY pot luck dinner.

With the jelly kept in a paper bag, I really hated those f***ing lesbians who budged into the Northern line underground train. They came in without watching and nearly stepped on my JELLY! They sat onto one of the seats near me, one on top of another, doing obscene things, way worse than some horny couples I had ever seen. Grr my jelly. Luckily it was still in shape.

At zone 3, after Ann fetched me by foot

Ooo Yee Sang.

And soon, my jelly was placed. ^^

Nice~~~

Steamboat

As I did not have the chance to have fun with my lecture mates (Calvin did), they left me something:

Nice

Lastly, as Ann's friends are all medics, they were somehow health concious and loved my jelly being so not-sweet, and took less than I expected so...

This is what leftover

Thanks to a Shanghai lady who calmed me down when I tried to ask around if the District line was suspended or closed. She barely knew any English so we communicated in Chinese all the way, very nice and helpful lady. =)

Post Project Moments

2010-01-29T23:20:00.003Z

Finally, I'm posting a blog update right now. The project that I just done was ultimately dreadful, and rumoured that the next one is way worse than I can imagine. However, I have 4-5 weeks of rest from coursework right now so...hehe, enjoy this post. ^^

It has been a total of 60 days that I haven't updated my blog, how lazy of me. As Grace invited people to come after she finished the same project as I did, I went to dine with two junior girls (Ying Fei + Miaw Jyi) somewhere on the way to Cromwell House (literally next to that block).

Where? LIGHT OF INDIA! At first Jyi was so shocked when we stepped into the restaurant as it was literally EMPTY. I calmed her down by saying it's SO EARLY that people haven't even settled down their working suitcases and stuff. (It was around 5.30 pm)

It's actually good, the atmosphere, the candle

That's me with the Chicken Briyani

Ying Fei with her SUPER spicy dish

Jyi with her Vegeterian Briyani

To make me able to be caught red-handed, I shall notify myself on this post that I owe Jyi £12 as she paid by card. A good way to remember. Mwahaha. We left and walked towards Sainsbury's direction while Jyi stumbled onto this...weird...tele...phone...booth. (It's normal here actually)

Look where she's pointing

We then arrived at Grace/Hui Xian's flat. They were already baking:

From left: Sharmilah, Joyce, Hui Xian, Yeithau(facing hobs), Grace

Firstly they started off with this, peanut cookie, with the shape of Chinese New Year biscuits. Therefore this is the first batch:

Then it's the junior girls and I for the second batch (I didn't do much in practical). However, it tastes nicer than the first batch despite the appearance.

There. Mainly Ying Fei and Jyi's product in mixing.

They then started with another kind of cookie, while we were under the effect of...

Baichilization and...

Debaichilization

I shall experiment many things with my lappy soon. Ok, time to watch Naruto! ^^

WAIT! For this 60 days I have been eating out quite a lot, to be honest. So, let me share some photos before I go, chronologically. Hehe. =p

Chinatown (I forgot the name of this dish)

Eastside bar - Lasagne

Garfunkels - Double Platter (it's an appetizer...)

Garfunkels - **** Burger (main course, yes, I died in the restaurant eating -_-)

Bosphorus - Doner Kebab

Lastly...My self-cooked dinner ^^

Nottingham Games 2009 Event

2009-11-01T21:59:00.005Z

Finally it's Halloween Nottingham Malaysian Games 2009! Many people didn't sleep and I delayed my sleeping time for 2 hours which I didn't know why. Woke up at 2.20, and had a shower, breakfast, and "pulled" Alvin out of the flat.

Exhibition Road outside Imperial, at 3.43 am

The bus left at 4.15 4.35 for some reasons and reached the University of Nottingham 5 minutes before the opening ceremony is supposed to start at.

The MC behind the big trophies

It's a long time since I last sang Negaraku with such a big crowd really, making me think of High School's assembly where some prefects always tells us not to sing but to shut up.

After a while, I met people from Birmingham (Ray+Nick), KCL (Steven), LSE (Jasmine + Junhao), Warwick (Yit Tze and friends), Cambridge (Tian Huey), etc etc. Soon the Imperial people were more or less seperated here and there, and I followed...

Xin Ning and Su Lin

Towards Portland Building, we walked a long journey and I was stating that if I applied here I'd be mad if I wake up late for lectures. Bought total of £5 worth of coupons, bought cendol and nasi ayam + telur. It's rare to get these easily, even in London.

Whee...The cendol kinda suck though.

Soon after we left the building, I met Danny and friends so coincidentally after meeting Woei Yi. Thanks for saving/kidnapping me people. =x We went in once again and came out to have a walk at the lakeside. Beautiful indeed:

We had ice cream too, Danny's suggestion =D

Yu Min and Woon Chien

From Right: Danny and I

We sat down and chatted for quite a while before the ice cream session as my legs were tired from walking up hills. Soon we finally decided to watch proper matches in the sports centre, finally.

That's taken during the volleyball match of Imperial vs Nottingham(Scary people). Lost to them but the next match I watched was Wern Chia vs some other girl (Badminton Single) and won =). After that, people started to get hungry and we decided to go to city centre (Wtf? So late edy). But then, I still followed for the sake of food XD.

Was tough deciding where to eat, ended up at Nando's after Zhi Xiong shouted "On". It's really nice you know? 6 Boys and 1 Girl (?). Poor Kayla was constantly asked by us to get her a sausage to qualify as we never categorized her as a normal girl XD. Had a great time and before I started worrying, Jonathan talked alot:

"So you all think that I'm a high-tech plumber la?"

Definition of Chem Eng was so twisted with that line. Anyway, since 85.7% (1 d.p) of us bought returning bus tickets to the Uni, most of us refused to take taxi as it's deemed a waste of money. Therefore, we boarded the last bus (8.05 pm). Technically it's not our fault for being late for the returning bus already. =x

Rushed back, and slept in the bus. Zzz...

My Birthday

2009-10-21T22:04:00.006+01:00

Strictly before my birthday itself (Oct 20 UK time), I received like 8 wishes from Malaysia already when I finished my lectures. Around 6.35 pm, Sean, Sonke and Jamie brought me out for dinner and bowling as promised yesterday.

As Sean cycled back, Sonke and Jamie waited for the bus to Bayswater with me. Walking through Whiteleys, Sonke gave me another birthday present, if you counted the muffins previously:

Waffle with chocolate, with free sprinkles too.

Finally reached their special flat with the door totally dedicated for them. Ali came along.

I really thought we'd go for dinner first but we went for bowling. After the first round, Sonke's hands were so itchy that he used his card for another round for everyone. Everything was just hilarious. Free spares, free strikes, 10 balls stuck inside, Sonke getting scolded by manager etc etc.

Thanks for the games and the lemonade (ordered by Sean)

Everyone was starving as it was already 9 pm ++. When we reached Nando's, surprisingly it was a full house, on a Tuesday night (you just won't get this in Malaysia unless it's New Year's Eve). Waited for a place and bloody people paying like slowpokes by the till, we finally settled down around...9.50 pm?

Ali

Sonke

Jamie

Sean

Sadly Alan didn't come along, Sean and friends will really have a hard time settling him down as I know exactly what kind of traits he has, which is very frightening after they described his new attitude. Good luck guys...

And...

Thanks Sean for the bottomless Yoghurt.

Soon Sonke and I went to look for our bus stops and I left first, too tired to stay awake until 12 out of my flat. Thanks alot Garden hallmates. Soon it's finally officially my birthday...

Oct 21, 2009

This morning, Calvin went out for something, which I wasn't too sure about. Soon he came back and shouted "Tommy" again as usual. But then, 4 people came in with a birthday song!! Thanks Grace, Hui Xian and Han Yang didi for baking the cake and gave me such a surprise! Don't worry, I'm really not gonna blame you all for pretending that you didn't know it was my birthday. 20 candles, too bad I didn't concentrate blowing them all at once. =x

Whee

From left: Hui Xian, Han Yang didi, Calvin, me (Thanks Grace for photographing)

Thanks didi for the chocolates. Soon, everyone left the flat after having a piece each, then I went for some piano playing too. I wanted to play another piece, then there was another SMS asking me if I could open the flat door in 5 mins. *Poof*, Tommy disappeared from Blyth. There goes He Jian waiting on the door, with this:

2nd Cake ^^. Really sorry for not bringing it to the karaoke session arrr...T_T

We sat down for a while as he walked from 10 shops further than Hui Xian and Grace. (Hahaha...) Gave him a piece of their self-bake cake too. (Girls you don't mind de hor?) Soon he realised he doesn't have enough battery on his phone and he went back home to charge after camping in Library for a while...

Chem engers, thanks for coming to the karaoke session! Credits to Nature for pulling so many ffk-ers. He ended up reading a book and never sang a single song. =(

So far 94 wishes on facebook (including Calvin and Han Yang didi), 5 UK wishing SMSes including Harrods, 3 Malaysia wishing SMSes including my mum. Thanks everyone. ^_^

Elephant & Castle

2009-10-10T21:37:00.002+01:00

By using the excuse of going to the local depot to get the house phone I ordered as I missed the delivery due to a faulty doorbell and lectures, I finally got myself awake early in the morning (7.18am) and got myself out of the flat an hour sharp after that. A journey to explore south east London within zone 1, and getting back...my phone. Believe me, without making excuses it's just hard to move yourself to travel -_-

Just the name, for the actual objects...I don't wanna spoil the fun

As the bloody depot only opens at 9-12 on Saturdays, I took the tube from South Ken to E&C. I saw this:

Then I took a bus towards "New Cross" but stopped halfway just in case I missed the street I need to enter. I stopped at Dunton Road, and I saw...

This and..

This

Down Old Kent Road, after like 20 steps, I saw a park on my right:

I was thinking: "I'm going there...."

Further down the road, there were more...stuff that I didn't expect here to have either.

24 hours ASDA

Reminds me of Centrepoint eh, Tzyy?

Computer shop...

Computer shop number 2

Walking like mad, finally I turned into a junction and continue walking...and reached my destination:

Home delivery network

After waiting for hell long and delaying the whole line behind me, I seriously feel the bosses seem really inferior compared to the hardworking ones. Patrick, I'll remember you for looking for my parcel so swiftly and efficiently and handing it to me. When I left, the number of people in the line is more than quadrupled. XD

The street where this depot is situated is called Ruby street, and when I came out of the depot, guess what I saw?

Did he buy this whole street?

Ok, walking back, surfing through the computer shops, and I saw this car reseller shop on my left:

Er herm!

£6495 for VW, less than £3000 or even around £1500 for those power steering Peugeot and Ford cars, was really really catchy if you ask me. Soon, I restumbled upon the park...

Ok time for some elephants, as I really didn't see any castles around, I shall present....ELEPHANTS!

Ok enough elephants, there's a shopping centre nearby the tube station too, its name is called Shopping Centre:

Ok time for a funny dialogue after all the travelling, this is probably the unedited version of my call by using the new house phone. I'm trying my best to recall

Me: Hi.
zEN: Oh hello.
Me: Is this...Mr Goh?
zEN: Yes yes.
Me: *pauses* Do you know who I am?
zEN: No no
Me: Hmm, make a wild guess.
zEN: ??? What?
Me: Make a wild guess, I give you 3 chances.
zEN: Ehehehe, no idea.
Me: 不好玩的.
zEN: ??? Har??
Me: 懂我是谁了吗？
zEN: ............OOOHHHH!!!
Me: Lol.
zEN: 做么你去扮那种accent?
Me: 英国住久了一点自然可以办到咯。。。XD
zEN: ...

After this it's all crapping for a short moment and I waited him to go back. To zEN's friends: Can imagine his face and expression during the first half? =D

Ahhaha I won't forget that the waiter took so damn long to take our order, which was taken wrongly that I snatched the medium orange juice and Max had to finish the large carrot milk. XD

6 Days 5 Nights At Kemaman, 03/09 - 08/09

2009-09-08T08:42:00.010+01:00

Yeah that's right, prepare to read another long winded post after a long time of not updating. Haha. Ready?

Day 1: Terrible Bus Ride

I bought the Transnasional bus ticket from Petronas yesterday, which as stated, that the bus departs from Hentian Putra (opposite PWTC), a place that my family never been before. I came out from home so early that I'm sweating in the station and had to buy papers as urged by dad to kill time.

Yeah I love the speed of the bus although it's double decker and bulky. I sat on the lower deck so that I can leave as swiftly as possible but then I still needed to take my "checked in luggage" from the bus storage. Surprisingly, the driver was ABSOLUTELY SILENT throughout the journey. He did not even voice out a single stop and the passengers who were mainly Malays did their job so professionally stopping the bus, eat their lunch, go for toilets as natural as ever, while I was suffering by observing everyone's actions.

Thank goodness I saw the phone numbers starting to match Shu Wai's house phone, where I started to ask if this is the stop I should alight the bus. However, when I did so, they said this is "Centre Point" station, "Stesyen Geliga? Sudah lepas oh!". That time I had a DEEP SHIT feeling.

I was stopped at the road in front of Centre Point, managed to take my luggage, and I started dialing Shu Wai's number. His aunt came to fetch me eventually, so relieved indeed that this stop is actually nearer and more convenient for them though I really stopped here completely by chance. -_-

Centre Point

After a few hours, Shu Wai and I walked to 源发, to yamcha with 3 of his other clanmates (-cM-). The journey was short, but the weather is so hot. Grr.

At night, as I brought both my laptops, he borrowed Sik Eu didi's DK to hunt pianus with my fire arch mage:

One hand play one hand take photo, pro leh? =p

Day 2: Visiting Cerating Resorts

Woke up quite early (relative to Tzyy's timing). Went to eat keropok mee nearby with CC, one clanmate of Shu Wai from yesterday. Thank goodness I'm granted access to the key for the only automatic gear car available - a blue Wira to save my sweat.

CC then followed us the whole day, had lunch at "Peninsula" Restaurant (NOT Island) at Legend Resort after taking photos at Bayview Resort, etc etc.

CC and Shu Wai

Dog eating KFC?

At night we had dinner at Kemaman Restaurant as the other more popular restaurant for seafood is closed.

Fried crab (after), too bad there wasn't a picture taken when it was not been eaten. Too hungry =X

Day 3: Dungun, and the 6 Star Hotel At Tanjong Jara.

Today Shu Wai's mum took Shu Wai, his bro and me north for sightseeing and phototaking. We went from Kemaman -> Kijal -> Kertih -> Paka -> Dungun (Lunch) -> Tanjung Jara and returned. The day I took the most photos I suppose. (39.7% to be accurate to 1 decimal place)

Day 4: The Birthday Party Itself

Damn you Shu Wai, never wait for me after asking me to fetch you back, made me drove and walk like an idiot. Grr. Spent £4.95 as well as I thought I didn't bring my SE K750i out. GRR. My maple characters dced from HTPQ as well. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Tortured by Shu Wai at Kemaman Station with thick toast in peanut butter, with a lovely black and white coffee. Oh yeah, won't forget to mention the fish fillet which took 3 times as long as the others to be served. Big portion and I needed hungry Shu Wai to finish it for me.

Black and White x2

Finally here it is, but sadly there are no official photos here as I couldn't be taking group photos with me in it properly, being inside the camera view at the same time. Will try to get the official photos from Shu Yun soon. A few I took as shown below:

Clan lord Kevin versus Organizer Kelvin using touchpad (didn't last long)

Kemaman Chinese residents' way of dealing with birthday presents

Day 5: School Holiday, 2x Yamcha With -cM- Clan

Sorry Kevin for waking up so late and unable to wake Shu Wai up, lol. Morning had yamcha (breakfast) at the Keropok Mee place again, mid afternoon had tea time (lunch) at 海滨, which was deemed mainly for tourists by Shu Wai's dad, kinda true judging by its prices there.

Hai Peng

Shu Wai ordered Latte, crazy little boy =.=

At night I packed, and took the only photo which consists of both of us after staying for so long zzz...

Shu Wai and I

Day 6: Returning Home

Woke Shu Wai up, slept for another 2 hours plus, really glad his dad offered to gimme a free ride back home as he's going down KL as well. Had kuey teow for breakfast and we headed towards the highway.

Sadly, tyre punctured on the way, damn scary for a split second:

Fortunately, Prime Ronda came after a short moment:

Finally reached home around 2.28 pm and went out again to get rid of my 'P' license and get some food to eat. Shu Wai, don't spend time on gaming too much oh XD. "Fine".

Ok, continue from where I stopped. This matter is getting bigger thanks to you, and you said I don't treasure my friendship between us? If I follow everything blindly and let you have everything you wish it will be, that's making me more like a slave rather than a friend. Can't you even think and analyze the situation thoroughly before even speaking, Mr. IT engineering guy? Engineers are supposed to make assumptions but this is a REAL LIFE problem where everything is related to some factors.

Enough crap. This paragraph will focus on replying your final sms. According to my friend, Grace Chan's definition of freethinker (which I am one) is believe in no god. I'm seriously sick of popes/random people tagging/stalling me on Princes Gate, Gloucester Road and even Imperial College's Dalby Court, telling me how GREATTTTTTTT god is. I doubt you're even Christian, to be honest. If asking your brother whether he likes to go to karaoke is a sin, even a normal form 3 guy/girl asking their friends whether they like karaoke is a sin as well? You are worse than my dad at pinpointing the reasons why you are getting angry at me. Or perhaps, you're worse than my friends' girlfriend.

I tried to keep low profile by leaving you alone for a few days, didn't even message your brother a little bit, but tonight's MSN i'm afraid your brother was commenting on my funny display name. Talking/chatting = your so called "DISTURB"-ing? Absolutely RIDICULOUS wei.

FYI, my 24-hour 2x experience card hasn't expire in MapleStory and you nearly killed my cute little bishop thrice and this is a total hindrance to the process of leveling my valkyrie right now, which even Zeneng has high hopes for it to level at LIGHTNING speed.

Things change as time passes, people change, but as far as I can feel, your thoughts are still the same, you assume I'm exactly the same as in year 2004, a little form 3 guy Wei Sheng with thoughts and actions which you hate a lot occasionally. I'm keeping the temperature low so that the friendship bonds between us won't break, why must you add so many stimulators into this, raising the temperature and thus damaging the bond like that? I don't think a friendship bond is so easily to be affected negatively if you don't create such a fuss so frequently that I need to be all worked up that the 160-character SMS can't express how much I hate this kind of DEEP SHIT feeling of losing a friend. I wonder who's the real sadist, you or me?

Epic Advertisements

2009-08-07T16:25:00.007+01:00

Ever seen nice advertisements which can make people laugh and remember certain products? I shall give you an example so that you will NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER forget about "Shieldtox Mosquito Spray". Just watch and let the pictures talk. =P

Now let's take a look at "AVON clearskin Medicated Wash Foam", I believe the pictures is way efficient to contribute some funny moments:

That's all for now folks! ^^

Kerning City PQ

2009-07-01T20:06:00.004+01:00

Yeah, it's a long time since I've played this, and I don't think I actually wrote posts about MapleSEA, did I? Here we go.

It's my Wind Breaker around level 26 went for PQ this time, the one linked to my cleric.

Formation 1:
1. OrimotoIzumi (Me)
2. ting0o0o0o0o
3. Tato0
4. *Forgot who liao*

Might not be 100% sure who the people were, after a few rounds, ting quitted as she couldn't get the shoe, which Tato0 looted the first round and she gave up hope.

Formation 2:
1. OrimotoIzumi
2. JeiYin
3. No|HS|4|You
4. xSidewinder

Yeah, everyone left in the end. I let Tato0 off as another party has only 1 slot left, while I waited. JeiYin appeared and I added the other two shortly thereafter. For 2 rounds straight, the green slimy shoes was dropped, which was looted by JeiYin and xSidewinder respectively, followed by one more after a few more rounds by No|HS|4|You. Poor me T_T.

Formation 3:
1. OrimotoIzumi
2. JeiYin
3. No|HS|4|You
4. Itmcp

We played until I'm almost level 29 (not leveled yet). I haven't acquired the shoes, unfortunately. I was making despair-ish expressions such as "tonite i no need sleep liao", "I gonna sleep after I get the shoes". Finally I asked if anyone was generous enough to use the family system's 2x drop rate to help me out, which Itmcp did it, pleased me a whole lot.

I was only expecting him to use on himself and hit the blardy king slime, though he used the most expensive one "2x Drop Rate for Party(30 mins)" which costed him 4,000 reputation points. O_o

Sample:

And so...Ta-da!

Look at the bottom right corner

Below average but who cares? ^^ (Click to enlarge)

P/S: Sorry for staying up late again, *insert name here*(you know who you are) >.<

In Malaysia

Portsmouth

2009-06-21T23:55:00.002+01:00

We (He Jian and I) booked the tickets so long ago, which only 3 of them (return tickets) were successfully priced at £2. Therefore only He Jian, Chen Chao and I went in the end.

I was a little too excited that I finally get a chance to take a coach or see for myself the appearance of Victoria Station. As He Jian went to Bristol the day before, he led us to the place ALMOST perfectly. XD

We were early for everything, perhaps, too early. I shall include some photos here to save my strength from typing...

P/S: Thanks He Jian for his camera for the presence of these photos.

Happy Birthday Ian Eng

2009-06-20T23:30:00.001+01:00

Sorry once again Ian, for wearing so casually to your party. Was busy la @_@

First, Wee Seng asked me to go karaoke during the afternoon whcih was canelled as James thought it's too expensive. Wee Seng, Faiz and I walked until wanna die to Hare and Tortise at "High Street Ken", which ended up at W14 and NOT W8. *pant*

The shops around was pretty much closed, even the petrol stations are. I was almost dehydrated back then. Thankfully my Ice Lemon Tea came quite quickly.

Hee hee, I'm saved.

Oh yeah, I was the only non-EEE guy, which was bullied by Alvin a little. T_T

Unadon, much bigger serving + miso soup included, much worth it compared to any Taro branches, no offence =X

Next, Alvin cabut and we went to Queensway for bowling. All hail Wee Seng for trying so hard to play bowling. Seriously it's much better when I was young that I needed the gutters to be lifted up haha.

Woo!

Next, we went to arcade, Faiz is so good at DDR, imagine 4v1 and 4 lost. For details or pictures please contact the birthday boy.

Birthday boy was playing the free game of riding the motorbike after losing to me (I was once being taught how to actually make it move that's why).

Wrong pose #1

Wrong pose #2

It was almost shutting down time that we left the entertainment venue, where we were crapping outside the underground station as Faiz had to left via tube. We were making fun of Wee Seng. Now you might ask, "How ar?". Or maybe, "Why ar?" XD

Yeah, that's his style, the way he says it makes it funny after picking on him for a few times. Probably there might be more info about this on the others' blogs. Check it out!

"Why ar?"

P/S: Thanks He Jian for his camera for the presence of these photos

Moving

2009-06-19T21:10:00.002+01:00

This is the first time working non-stop from around 2.30 to 8 pm without eating, concentrating 100% on what the hell I was doing all the while. Not sure how much everyone thinks how worth it my work was. I think it is worth it, somehow. Btw sorry Chia Wei no matter how much you hate me for not putting your name in, I can't help it, I know it's gonna be fine if you'd got along with us until the end though.

ANYWAY, looking forward to the day with:

- No "fucked up" kitchen sinks.

- No kitchen floors/tables/equipments with a relatively ridiculously low friction factor.

- No BLOODY RED toilet bowls/sink/rubbish dumps.

- No foul smell in corridors

- No more completely vandalised "TV Room"

- No vigorous shouting from different and unusual obtuse angles.

- No more surprising scolding from cleaners. (very unreasonable most of the time)

Now let's make the photos do the elaboration:

P/S: Thanks He Jian for his camera for the presence of these photos

Oh Yes!

Vote

2009-06-04T22:16:00.002+01:00

Went to vote around noon time, surprisingly the place was small, when Ming Wang and I reached there were no other people waiting to vote. There were only clerks and people in charge for voting.

Dinner...

Reminds me of Concord...Just double the portion of meat XD

Sad + Sad + Happy = Sad?

2009-06-02T19:37:00.026+01:00

This morning woke up late, thanks James Lee for waking me up, asking something I never expect first thing in the morning. - Happy

Lunch kena put aeroplane, promised to go out for dinner instead. - Sad

I was given a free panini from Ethos as reimbursement. - More happy

Maths exam tomorrow - Lagi sad

Received Vladmir's Offering of no need to pay cash but being deducted £10-40 from my account for losing the kitchen cupboard key. - Damn sad

Most of my scores achieved yesterday night were beaten/not accepted, only awarded myself two trophies, out of 8 I hunted. - Freakin' sad

Dinner kena put aeroplane, say going to friend's birthday party. - OMG-ly sad

That person borrowed roommate's shoes and let me know RIGHT AFTER I sprayed my shoes, preparing to lend. - T_T

Summing up the equations above,

Happy + Sad + More happy + Lagi sad + Damn sad + Freakin' sad + OMG-ly sad + T_T = ?

Answer is...

Lunch alone, with excess oil

Dinner alone, with excess pasta bake

P/S: This doesn't mean the meals tasted bad, they were good actually.

Haiz, I really should study liao. Kai Wen didi will definitely be disappointed if I'm not like me from before...

Hampstead Heath

2009-05-31T09:56:00.002+01:00

It's so beautiful...

Crazy, no?

2009-05-24T01:23:00.002+01:00

Time isn't enough, or is it?
Study enough, will survive or not?
Distractions gone, will it be better?

Self-isolating from now on, expect late updates or even news from me in any form...

LOL-ed

2009-05-21T19:31:00.003+01:00

In Chemistry today, our lecturer went OT again. A short moment after that, Kenneth Wong from the left of Calvin shouted: "DIU!!!!"

This is the first time I see Calvin able to laugh for so freakin' long and non-stop. When it's almost the end of lecture, Kenneth said something again: "今次'自閉'囉.." Calvin laughed again...

"DIU!!!!"

I personally think that overcooked but near expire broccoli > cooked but non-expiring broccoli. However, this is only my opinion, therefore it can't be a reliable result, we should get a sample or do a census for a selected group of people instead to prove this. XD

It's so delicious today, compared to last night where I took approx. pi times longer to eat and unable to finish.

Angels and Demons

2009-05-20T19:01:00.005+01:00

Nice movie I watched with He Jian, Connor and Kenneth Wong this afternoon. Even without reading the book (the fact I never read books at all) still thrilled me up to quite a level of excitement. However, if you like Star Trek like Connor, you probably wouldn't like this as much. Ahaha...It's really worth it, why? Look below:

"It's cheaper than watching in Devon!" Said Connor.
"It's cheaper than watching in Newcastle!" Said Jian.
It was £3.15 per person. Malaysia's still the best, eh? XD

Before we had lunch together, I screwed my maths tutor over by asking 3 integration questions, which none of them are answered to a significant extent to make me feel my time was spent wisely. Even my high school friends might give better suggestions with more confidence than him. Why? He used maple and needed to open the HELP FILE, search for a function totally and types so slowly to help solving, but in the end he only got one answer out of 3 by using maple. Woot. He gave an excuse for not doing integrations for 20 years. This made me feel like asking him: "Just how old are you? I wonder how many more 20 years you can have..."

Off to lunch, towards Picadilly Circus/Chinatown. We were waiting at the wrong bus stop, which looks like a real bus stop. However the "well-functioning" bus stop was something like this:

He Jian kena block

Microwave popcorn, bought from Sainsbury Local, to save £6.50 and enjoy a lil'

Kenneth Wong, the "L" wannabe

Unfinishable vege...=(

PASSED

2009-05-19T19:32:00.003+01:00

Dear Student

This is to let you know that you have successfully passed the First Year Mastery Examinations. Congratulations! This means that you do not have to take the resits in June and do not have to attend feedback this week.

Good luck with the rest of your examinations.

Professor Matar

Oh yes, my chance of staying back for first year is dramatically reduced until 1E-x% where x is large. Now my wish is x reaches infinity as soon as possible. XD

Fire Alarm? Japanese Dinner

2009-05-16T20:11:00.004+01:00

I was waiting to shop, and was playing piano at the same time. When I started playing a super long acciccattura...*Fire alarm rang*

No need like that to shoo my friend all the way from upstairs to shop gua...Lol. It started drizzling, pity the residents standing outside. *Off to sains*

Sad

At night In the evening, went to Taro, Knightsbridge.

Look at them, so hungry

Hungry indeed

After Eight

2009-05-01T23:24:00.000+01:00

The stuff mentioned as the title is actually one of the ice cream specialities in Bar CIAO, Leicester Square. Ate it after the wonderful musical Phantom of the Opera. As Zawa told me, the props were good, very standing out indeed. And my cousin Yunn, it's really nice, worth the price, especially much more worth it for the price I paid instead of yours, haha. =p

Musical just before the beginning of a look weekend is just so nice, ain't it? ^^

Hungry

2009-04-30T21:15:00.001+01:00

Hungry la, don't know why, I cooked double the amount of bacon this time. @_@

Not quite enough pasta this time =/

Cooking

2009-04-28T18:36:00.003+01:00

I really suck at cooking, or maybe my mind's just too troubled nowadays? No idea why. Or probably cooking is just another kind of art for me. Bah.

Thanks Chien Sheng for letting me use his cooking utensils and his cupboard, as he won't be cooking anymore for some time. Also for showing me numerous times how to cook for the past two months, I managed to cook the whole carbonara linguine all by myself today, OUCH MY HANDS HURT!

Actually tastes as nice as before, just lack of the cheese this time, overall graded satisfactory if you ask me.

Note for Ho Ka Mun: Oh yes, I did it!

Now for some random stuff as I haven't been posting much due to lack of making full use of facebook at home as the internet speed at fastest speed is around 625/10752 of that of UK. Gosh.

Before:

Specs + Braces

After:

Specs + Retainers

Summer Term

2009-04-25T02:41:00.000+01:00

Summer term's starting.

Easter Break

2009-03-31T09:33:00.002+01:00

Oh yes! Week 11 ended! And I'm back to Malaysia! However...I received an email putting me off right away, from our dear rice yoghurt lecturer, Erich Muller:

Dear Students:

I want to inform you that the General Mastery III sheet is now
downloadable from Blackboard
(under Mastery) and it must be handed in when you return from the
break, on the 1st of May.

Recall that the mastery tests will take place the second week of the
next term (May 7th and 8th), so
this break in the lectures is not only a good opportunity to "recharge
your batteries" but also to catch
up on your studies.

There will be three last "drop-in" tutorial sessions before the
mastery tests where you may consult
the tutors on the different aspects of any of the tutorial sheets. We
will endeavour to have all the
tutors present to be able to cater for the increased demand for
learning.

Have a nice Easter break,

regards,

-erich

Term's Ending!

2009-03-26T19:43:00.004Z

Yeah, it's almost easter break and alot of people actually have the holiday mood way before this. Went to Hyde Park with Hui Xian and others for lunch and some ice cream! ^^

P/S: More photos to come after the guys actually upload them, I didn't bring my lousy camera.

AGM Week

2009-03-22T13:44:00.002Z

Let's see, there was CGCU + MSoc AGM on Wednesday, Lion Dance AGM on Saturday. I didn't get elected for any of them, so happy that I have so much less work than everyone next year.

CGCU: Lost to Nigel and Victor for Industrial Relations. Good luck Nigel working with him, I doubt I can last assisting you.

MSoc: Nice new committee, mean seniors. Looks like half of my future housemates would be busy. Treasurer and committee member Chia Wei and Alvin, all the best.

Lion Dance: Congrats Justin Elias and Wee Seng for the 3 posts. Jia you on being punctual, the hardest thing which I rarely spotted any of you beating Kenneth during practices. No offence. =x

Pictures might be posted up later depends on my mood and the sustainability of my terrible camera.

Week 10

2009-03-20T23:06:00.003Z

Today's Friday, deadline for 2 projects.

Thinking of week 11, I have...

- Accounting test on Monday

- Pilot Plant report due Tuesday

- General Mastery due Thursday

- Heat & Mass Transfer Mastery due Friday (Special deadline, other chem engers please ignore)

Oh yeah, I lost in the CGCU elections, pretty badly. Nigel, all the best working with Victor. =X

I'm breathing ok now, I can't wait till term ends.

End of Labs

2009-03-06T19:47:00.002Z

I'm so happy my labs ended, no more lab report for the year. However, I looked back that what other work I am assigned to do. Lab reports and presentation over. There's PoM project, PA project, general mastery, heat and mass mastery, heat and mass problem from spring test, and pilot plant emerging from nowhere starting next Thursday. After all these hassle, general mastery III is my easter homework. Omg?

Oh yeah, accounting came alive today, which is 7 days late. I thought economics was bad, accounting seems to be an even more serious problem than ever. I wonder what'll happen when management strikes us poor, innocent little first years...=(

Malaysian Night

2009-03-01T12:52:00.004Z

It has finally ended where we first years finally got our weekends back to normal. After I deal with lab reports, presentations, process analysis and PoM projects, tutorial sheets, no one's stopping me from running around. Wahahaha. Let's have a few photos of the dances that I'm in

We Live to Enjoy

2009-02-21T23:54:00.002Z

Although Malaysian Night practices seem to be pretty intense over time until March, I still think that we should enjoy as we're still alive no matter what.

Crepe for lunch

Staring at Royal Albert Hall at night after MNite practice as Poh Shen refuses to buy food for us tired cute little juniors.

Life's too short to eat bad ice cream. - Gelato

Leicester Square During Half Term

2009-02-19T19:43:00.000Z

It's half term for my College, Concord College again. London lovers especially most of lower school people came. As planned by Su Lin, she came today and I went to chinatown to find her as my afternoon was off. Su Lin and Su Ling (?) wanted to watch musical and asked me along but I have the VERY VERY FUN Malaysian Night rehearsals so I rejected them so that I won't MISS THE FUN XD.

We went to many ticket booths to look for cheaper prices. This is an example of one:

Attractive posters eh? We then proceed...

WTH?!?

And yeah, Happy Birthday to Kai Wen Didi!

Frank Morton Sports Day, Day Off At Camden

2009-02-17T21:43:00.003Z

It's the 25th (?) Frank Morton Sports Day, held in Newcastle. While Ke Lun and the others are being transported to North of England since 11 last night, I overslept this morning and ran to Gloucester Road tube station and reached there first, meeting up with Hui Xian, Kuok Hao and didi Han Yang with an empty stomach -_-

We decided to go Camden Market for a look, what a pity I didn't take cool photos of Cyberdog like what didi took, I might steal his photos when he posted 'em on Facebook. We ended up at Primrose Hill then Reagent's Park, passing by London Zoo. We finally left the beautiful place at Baker Street for our dikir practice session, Zafie should be proud of us XD. (Wow Zone 2 back to Zone 1!)

Let's start with the photos, it's quite a big difference we realised after walking a few shops across Camden.

Camden Market

Reminds me of Junyi, hmm...

A game for you, try to find how many "piercing"s and "tattoo"s in this pic.

Give this to McDonald's manager and I'll wonder what will he do..^^

I bought starbucks as I thought this might fill my tummy a little, how lame XD

Reminds me of Venice though I've never been there.

Schrodinger Equation! What has it gotta do with kittens? @_@

Lai lai yumchaa!! =p

Tzyy, chicken satay £2 for 3 sticks, spring rolls £1 each, happy you're in Birmingham now? Miss Syed Abu/"Tomorrow"? =(

£5 Wat Tan Hor

£5 Char Kuey Teow

We shopped at Morrison's, realising the price difference between this and Sainsbury's and I somehow felt better shopping at Sainsbury a lot more. Well, didi and Kuok Hao took ample time to choose what ice cream to buy, which made Hui Xian giving up hope of Imperial boys. XD Hmm, eating ice cream in such a less hot place, London? Yeah, we did it, Kuok hao and didi ate 2 by the way.

Ice cream pose #1 (Hui Xian)

Ice cream pose #2 (Kuok Hao)

Ice cream pose #3 (Didi)

Ice cream pose #4 (Me)

We walked pass Chalk Farm, (though we didn't see chalks or farms) and wanting to search for the Reagent's Park, which is THOUGHT not far after we walked pass the "Underground" sign. As we though we reached our desired spot...

Reagent's Park? No, it's Primrose Hill

View from top of the hill, so nice, you could actually see Canary Wharf =)

Oh yeah!

Didi playing sand!! Hehe..

Last pic taken before didi and I realised the other 2 were faraway...

We were leaving the beautiful "Hill" and "Park", had a wonderful day off, how I wish, like Hui Xian, more people like Frank Morton, who is a well-qualified and knowledgable Chemical Engineer who has a great passion for sports who organized big sport activities for Chemical Engineers which result in such a SPLENDID day. (Source from Wikipedia) Didi then took out the 6th which is the last ice cream left:

This teaches us never leave ice cream in the plastic bag not eating it for 3 hours without a portable refrigerator XD.

Malaysian Night, Spring Test, Lab Reports?

2009-02-15T23:26:00.004Z

Oh my god, this is just so tiring, a crazy week indeed. With Valentine's day in between and being single this is just so saddening to be mentioned. I so glad I brought my laptop to Great Hall today so that I finally finished my part of the lab report which is due 16 hours from now...Tomoki, breathe properly! @_@

Lastly, I found this funny video posted by Danny on facebook and searched on youtube. Ever wondered why asian guys can't get white girls? XD

Chemistry #2

2009-02-10T16:37:00.002Z

It's Tuesday, Kenneth woke up early didn't sleep again due to intense revising for the upcoming exams which I did pretty much ZERO preparation for. As he's sitting next to me again, I observed that maybe he drank too much coffee. Chemistry was the first class, but he yawned like...

4 times? Significantly improved @_@

Followed by Biochemistry and Properties of Matter. During Mantalaris' class, I heard this phrase quite often:"好悶啊..!" XD

Until the end of the 3 consecutive lectures...

16 times of yawning! I might've missed counting a few as I was dozing off during these lectures, they are indeed boring. =X

Chemistry

2009-02-09T10:58:00.004Z

Lol we were so bored and as Kenneth Wong was yawning pretty much every now and then, I started counting the number of times he yawn during chemistry. As seen on the picture, pencil marks were marked by me, then he joined in with his red pen. 15 yawns in 50 minutes, ahahaha...

EDIT: Used camera and it looks more obvious now.

Heat And Mass Transfer

2009-02-05T21:02:00.003Z

Today Krishnan finally made a proper joke which made me heard the entire thing without fail. *Krishnan's hand stunt* So...*chik chik chik*, let's start.

Three men went for an interview, they are a mathematician, an engineer and an economist respectively. All of them were asked the same question: "What is 1+1 equals to?"

The mathematician answered: "2, and I can prove it to you vigorously."

The engineer pressed on his calculator "1+1=" and read the answer "2.00000000 to 8 decimal places as stated on the calculator"

The economist asked the interviewer back: "What would you like it to be?"

Lame eh? @_@

*chik chik chik*

Unfairness

2009-01-28T23:40:00.003Z

What the hell you people think you were doing? The waiters were so generous and offered us freshers that nice table at the corner and asking us to SPLIT UP? For who? 1 table entirely for "seniors"? We paid the same amount of money and you tell us to give way after settling into our comfy seats, ridiculous shit. Luckily Chester said that the food value was somehow better than last year which comforted me a little, but still...!@#$%^&*^%$@#!@#$%&*&^%$#@!#$%

Additional stuff: Change also can give wrong yet you are qualified to be a treasurer? Quit your job la...

From this table comfortably chatting:

I arrived at this table making them squeeze and Junyi even sacrificed taking the wooden stool:

Email said 7 pm, and everyone (especially Junyi and I) were still starving like hell, until when?

The waiters also bu shuang all of you standing up and refuse to sit down, because of who? Only one table, the root of all these problems

After leaving early, as Chien Sheng always loved to so, we went to South Ken for some ice cream to chill, with Kuok Hao.

What A Day

2009-01-20T19:13:00.005Z

Today's Chemistry lecture is SO FREAKIN' BORING, Biochemistry ended up much more interesting than what I expected, though I didn't print out the bloody notes which I need to wait for Nature to come to my hall let me copy.

Nature screwed his "invitation to meet the lecturers" this morning and got me into trouble. After getting my chocolates in PoM lecture (thanks again Joao! ^^) and went for Heat and Mass Transfer tutorial (I did pretty well).

After reaching home I received a greeting card wishing Happy Chinese New Year. It's from Glouscester Road Casino, the one I went to celebrate my birthday with Kerwin and Kenneth Wong. How unexpected, lol.

I then started microwaving my lunch, while I found out I received a blardy email from Omar about PLAGARISM again. As expected.

Went to meet him at 2 pm, rushing all the way with a stomach ache, thanks alot Professor. "It's surprising that you're not on the list but your name popped out from different students numerous times. I'll let you off this time but beware of such things next time." Gosh, you think I want to kena one ar? Zzz...

In the evening, I went to see the seniors at Sherfield building and I was fired straight away, good or bad? Hmm I wonder.

Dinner time, Chien Sheng passed me a small box from Xing Xian, how lame it is? Look below:

The card and the presents from the mysterious box.

Biochemistry

2009-01-15T22:42:00.005Z

Today Donal, my roommate skipped the first lecture - Biochemistry. He said it was introduction and might be quite boring, but I found it rather useful and interesting, though the whole course structure is COMPLETELY 100% BIOLOGY which puts me off. However...he rocks, in a sense. How? Look below:

"God is a Chemical Engineer!"

24th December 2008, Wednesday

A day booked by Yu Ming's gang, first time actually outing with Lionel and Han Xiong. With minimum experience driving in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, I still managed to reach Red Box, Low Yat Plaza in time, while Yu Ming and Han Xiong were still struggling in some driving test building...

- Lionel was slightly earlier than everyone else but I almost sang a concert before he came

- Buffet dinner

- Lionel and the gifts included in the package

- Xing Yi and Han Xiong

- Yu Ming and Lionel

Fooled by the girl on the phone this morning, we ended our session before midnight by 2 hours. RM52++ per person cheated by the supervisor too, haiz...what can I do? Next time will book green box 3 days in advance @_@

25th December 2008, Thursday

My friend Shu Wai came down all the way from Kemaman, Terengganu. Yunny also came on the same day. We had lunch at Midvalley Megamall (Sorry Yunny made you pokkai in such a flash). We then went home and played poker cards until we slept (Woot?)

- Half of us went to watch "The Diary Of The Dead", while the other half went to watch football

Both parties came back at the same time, how wonderful timing. We then went for our "computer session" at Pro Extreme where everyone leaves pretty quickly it's easier to find places (Blitz always full la =_=)

29th December 2008, Monday

Woke up by maid, as Tensu's mother was shouting out there, we overslept by 1 hour, I didn't know he didn't put effort setting alarm to wake up. @_@ Therefore he left and everyone else including me continued sleeping...Sik Eu left along with Sik Wei while I was sleeping, apparently.

And when everyone was awake,

- Had lunch at Right 4 U Cafe (They gotta gimme commission someday -_-)

- Jia Yung left
- Watched Pokemon Movie 10: "Palkia and Dialga" at home, really sophisticated graphics nowadays eh?

Finished packing the bags and prepared for the flight on the next day.

Sheng Sheng's 20th Birthday Surprise Party

2008-12-16T08:17:00.002Z

This is well, the first time successfully surprising Chien Sheng. Most of the time he'd predict even before I started thinking of giving him surprises. This time, good job to myself XD

On Sunday I bought a cake at Sainsbury, in conjunction with Hui Xian's opinions and suggestions, I chose this big chocolate cake which serves 12 for £6 (£5.99 to be precise). I stored it at Yeit Hau's room as planned because for 100% Chien Sheng will never go to anywhere near his room at all.

While Chia Wei was distracting him at 11.00 11.45 pm, I called Xing Xian to get the cake from Yeit Hau's room and prepare for the surprise party.

(Strictly not) Yeit Hau's kitchen, the place we prepared and discussed how to do it.

When it stroked midnight, after Xing Xian farted, we went in...

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to Chien Sheng,
Happy birthday to you!

No candles, to avoid ringing the fire alarm in the middle of the night, my two fingers were used as replacements for his 2 candles, as indication for his 20th birthday. However that doesn't mean my fingers were on fire though. XD

Before cutting the cake

Hope he'll enjoy the rest of the cake for the whole of Christmas. ^^

Buddhist Society Dinner

2008-12-12T23:38:00.003Z

As everyone knows, I'm a free thinker. However, someone convinced me that we are forced to write a religion as a Malaysia citizen, which made me thought for a while. Yeah, I'm sure my parents wrote Buddhist, and I accepted Kenneth's invitation to go.

In the afternoon, I went to the Imperial's gym for the first time, and left when Kenneth headed towards the sauna. Sorry Hui Xian, I really didn't see the message in time for swimming...=x

In the evening, I walked all the way to Fisher Hall, Evelyn Gardens. Thanks Grace for your help although It was kinda a waste of money instead XD. I found my way in the end, to the blocks of Fisher Hall:

Kenneth with his Union Jack flag

We were very late thanks to James, Junyi and CeDong for coming so late. I walked as fast as I could though my legs were really straining with the lack of muscles due to gym @_@

We missed bus 14 right when we reached, and waited for hell long for the next one, argh!

When I thought we were very late, Tian Siong, our senior was actually later than us! It was 8.15 pm when the dinner supposed to have started at 7.30 pm already.

Vegeterian food

Fruits

Lucky draw started, there was around 10 prizes with 29 people, approximately everyone has a 34.48% chance of getting one, assuming that it was a fair ballot. However, among three tables, our table only Junyi got 1 prize, which is a pirated DVD "The Hill Have Eyes" or something. I so wanted the boxes of Ferrero Roacher =(

Obscene senior Tian Siong

Junyi

Lube King Kenneth, he wanted to throw one into the lucky draw bag XD

Santa James

The Soviet Beaver: Kenneth Lee

Covent Gardens Screwed

2008-12-06T23:16:00.002Z

Just like a repetition of last night, this time we went to Covent Gardens Piccadilly Circus. We planned to go to Covent Gardens for the free burger thingy but the bloody bus terminated its service at Hyde Park Corner...

There was Yeit Hau, Hui Xian, Grace, Kuok Hao, Didi and Me. 4 boys and 2 girls, does this clearly indicates the boys to girls ratio in Imperial? XD Thank goodness we didn't end up at Waterloo like Hui Xian last time. *Runs*

5 of us met up with didi at Piccadilly Circus, went to Japan Centre for window shopping while Hui Xian and Kuok Hao sneaked out to Lillywhite for some other stuff, grr. First didi went upstairs, when he came down, Kuok Hao went missing, I began cursing, and went outside to take some photos around the cupid statue.

Yeit Hau kena crush

Yeit Hau kena f***

Didi suggested a cheap Japanese restaurant as one of us was desperate for sushi. However we went to Mr Wu, Grace's suggestion which was pretty nice too. £4.95 for buffet lunch/dinner. ^^

I ate this for 2 times, though it is legitimate for us to eat such a dish for n times for the same amount of price where n is a large positive integer. XD

Took quite some random pictures, although not as much as didi and Kuok Hao, this is one interesting shirt...

This place is really populated on weekends, taking group photos at a particular area was really difficult...

"People mountains people sea"

Wahaha...

Fire Alarm, Barbican Market, Farringdon Dinner

2008-12-05T22:55:00.003Z

Er herm, let's start with Yeit Hau booming the fire alarm after I went to print out free burger vouchers for Chien Sheng (he's lucky I know so much about him which is sufficient to get him this) and for myself, haha. Ditched the girls while Kuok Hao ditched me later on. Yeit Hau, cook chicken one more time I'll roast you.

After fire alarm went off, I woke Chien Sheng up and off to JCR. Congratulations Tai Yi Jet, you successfully invited people to form a BATANG FEST!

In JCR, Justin and Victor

Took Circle line to Barbican, ready to get to the Christmas market, which opens at 3-10pm (source from Thelondonpaper, to avoid plagarism). However, it is closed today for some reasons and...

Yi Jet is called to the middle of the closed stalls

He starts to get nervous and paiseh...he was forgiven at the very end though, not a big deal @_@

Went to TAS, a middle-eastern restaurant (according to Joe Fong), near Farringdon station. Kenneth went away to fetch Ian Eng and settled his dinner at KFC (wtf?).

Table shot

Fresh Joe

Toilet scenery, woooo.

Lastly we went back with tons of delays, stoppages, changing lines when our ideal journey back to our respective halls was supposed to be delay-free, stoppage-free, and a direct pathline back. Got terrorist ar? @_@

Justin with his sohai expression...in the tube XD

Chia Wei's Good Food Night At Home

2008-11-21T22:17:00.005Z

This morning in JCR, I met Chia Wei and she suddenly told me she's coming over the Garden Hall and mentioned that Chien Sheng is going to cook for her. That shocked me and I was like, why the hell didn't Chien Sheng tell me? Something's wrong, something's definitely wrong. She mentioned about chicken too! While I remember we only have very few pieces remaining.

Besides that, Chien Sheng came back early and when I thought I was able to sleep for half an hour, he popped in my room just before I got up from the chair @_@. So, we went shopping after packing up as we changed the venue to Southside due to some conflicts.

Shopped in Waitrose, and as Maria, Chia Wei's roommate asked for 6 bottles of water, we(mainly Xing Xian) somehow agreed to help her buy the bottles. This time we purposely use the ambiguity of her request to make things funny by making her buy Evian water or as funny as it could be. As I knew there were some heavy bottles around, I took 6 x 5 litres water bottles and wondered how would Maria respond. XD

LOL!

Something normal mathematicians wouldn't expect to get, compared to a Chemical Engineer who learnt much from design ^^

She said "I don't think I'll need to buy water for the rest of my life", according to Xing Xian. Too bad I couldn't see the joke live. Sigh. Chien Sheng and I then went to Southside as soon as we took the stuff there together, and I forgot the chicken, damn!

Xing Xian cooking

As Chia Wei was obsessed with my jacket and sunglasses...Here she goes cranky again!

@_@

Food!!

It was fun, and Chia Wei's still gonna dine out tomorrow night with seniors. Hmm, I wonder when will she explore "Zone 9"...

Garden Visited By Friends

2008-11-20T21:14:00.003Z

Today I have a free afternoon but an evening session with the design lecturers. As Grace somehow enjoyed Tuesday afternoon, this time Grace, Hui Xian, Jacob came along, while Jess was with Luke, which I found out sometime later.

4 of us took picture in my room, thanks to Grace's steady hands.

In the lounge

Soon Victor came XD

Another mirror pic ^^

Victor and Grace playing Duet =x

Jess and Grace

When they left one by one, and finally it's my group's turn. It was about 6 pm, and yet the 2 lecturers Nina and Alexander were working overtime, so we ended quite late. That made Chien Sheng and I starve =(

When I reach back Gardens...FOOD! ^^

Chien Sheng scared me about the curry at first in terms of spiciness but it's so nice ^^

Sound Of Music

2008-11-18T22:33:00.005Z

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

I went to the London Palladium, met up with hall mates as soon as I rushed my microwaved dinner. No choice, was teaching Matlab after MATHS TEST a little while back in Chem Eng department, haha. Few steps away from Oxford Circus, wonderful indeed.

Lasagne, again, as always.

Took it while hand was shaking, was walking pretty quickly.

The board over the entrace

Few minutes before it started.

My ticket, lovely blue corrections. Student ticket mar...kena conteng. Zzz

Thanks Julia for taking a photo for me. ^^

How I wish I have a chance to bring didi along someday. He really needs some real time experience of these...=/

P/S: For the people who said it sucks and not worth it to start with, I disagree with you all, especially Chien Sheng and Christina Saadalla XD

Happy Birthday Tzyy =p

Friendster Hacked?

2008-11-17T08:23:00.002Z

Last night I checked facebook where Joshua posted that for people that has more than 200 friends will most probably get their accounts hacked. This morning I checked my account, there goes my friends, left with 14. Omg! Damn bastard la whoever that guy is...Grr!

Quit friendster! Gosh. Facebook forever! - Quitted 17/11/08

What A Weekend!

2008-11-15T23:19:00.003Z

Once again, lion dance was on this morning. Chien Sheng and I feel so happy that I can stand on him pretty well already. I thought that we could peacefully go Bayswater to do a quick shopping and return. Guess what? Grace ajak me to go for lunch, whee! ^^

They were waiting for us for quite long at the Royal Albert Hall Memorial, there were 13 people waiting, mainly JPA scholars. We then took a photo and off towards Malaysian High Commission.

Memorial

However, on the way we went through Round Pond to play with pigeons, ducks and swans by throwing bread. Note that 2/3 of the bread I brought already has fungus on them. XD Sorry Faiz I wasn't wanna give you a bad first impression. =p

Had lunch at HALAL with Miss Adorin, the person who JPA scholars claim money from. Poor Grace forgot to bring the bank statement. She bought ice cream for her as bribe though, I wonder if it really worked for real, haha.

Miss Adorin with the ice cream XD

All the SOUR stuff which made Ivan crazy

This pot saved him

As most of them left for bowling, Chien Sheng, Kenneth Lee and I went to buy some stuff and ended up at Portobello Market later, which stunned me pretty much for being so long and crowded. It really reminds me of Pasar Seni. The houses there are really pretty...

As Tzyy is at Cheshire Oaks with quite an amount of people, the number of people here is really numerous as shown above which gives me the usual market feeling which I really feel uneasy about. I saw pretty much antiques at the first area. There was also a stall selling DVDs at £2.99, you know what that means eh? Soon I noticed a sign which denotes the sequence of what are ahead of us...

OH MY GAWD!

Kenneth bought some broccoli back but nothing much else as he shopped for his groceries earlier back before coming. He was emphasizing how cheap it is but the price for the grapes doesn't fascinate me enough for me to lose grip of my self control towards temptation. As he wanted to return before sun sets at 4.10 pm (he checked online), we returned through the long winded way back through Hyde Park to South Kensington, as how we came.

In Hyde Park, we tried to cut through diagonally to minimize distance traveled, physics students should know why and how. =p On the way, this dog really caught our attention for being too cute. However, he doesn't like Chien Sheng very much...

His name is Skye, 4 1/2 years old

Returned home exhausted, was playing Word Challenge again as I was too bored. Chien Sheng had fallen asleep and soon did I. He missed my SMS after I woke up by Chia Wei. So I went to Finchley Road station alone, change 4 times as I wasn't aware of the closure of Jubilee and Circle lines, GRR! However, I reached before her! XD

Had dinner at Green Cottage, a Chinese restaurant which is nice, else I think Chia Wei wouldn't bring Kuok Hao, Eugene and I along. This girl is....AHHHHHHH. The amount of food she can devour is countably infinite eh?

Kuok Hao

Chia Wei and Eugene

1 Whole DUCK

1/2 Duck, Vege, Char Siew, Sotong

It costed £69.10 in total, tax inclusive. This is the first time I experienced a meal with her and know how crazy and cranky she is. Also I finally understand what's Chia Wei's definition of "Good Food Night". Gosh.

The End of First Year Design

2008-11-14T20:25:00.004Z

What a wonderful poster we made, comparing to our work last week, this really indicates a significant amount of improvement in our communication skills and teamwork. We made many mistakes in the process of getting the god damn design presentation brief and the whole report done. Nonetheless, it's splendid! Hope to get a wonderful score on next Thursday! ^^

Thanks Nina and Alexander, really professional indeed.

Tired

2008-11-13T19:36:00.002Z

Why is this design thingy so rushing and tiring? It's really challenging how well teamwork of every group. Less than 3 days to do the whole report. Xiao sia...

I even sneaked out of today's session in order to have food. Chien Sheng has a dinner with a pilot from Penang, so he's not eating home tonight. However, he still cooked...

Chien Sheng's so nice...

Interview? QOS

2008-11-12T20:24:00.002Z

Brian and Kompol came for interview in Skempton Building for Civil Engineering today. In the process of finding them while ditching group 4F, I met Jimmy Hu on the way to the station. Phone rang after saying bye to him, and saw Kompol and took him to find Brian.

Outside library cafe, we saw someone familiar walking directly towards us.

Kompol getting nervous

The familiar guy, Brian

We headed towards Skempton this time, to put Kompol's noisy luggage. Walking up the stairs and into room 427 (is it?)

A contrast of non-prepared against well-prepared

After wishing them good luck, I left for tutorial. I didn't have lunch, taught Chen Chao a little Matlab, settle laundry, went shopping with Kok Kuan, settle laundry again, chat on msn, met up with Nature, went for a movie.

Thank goodness it's student price or else we're screwed

Tzyy, I disagree with you for it being not exciting.

Shit SMS

2008-11-11T22:47:00.000Z

Imagine shitting and smsing with someone shitting at the same time. It's funny and amazing. Isn't it Tzyy? XD

Shopping Alone

2008-11-09T18:52:00.002Z

I was getting a little bothered by my red eye disease, therefore I went online to search for a few but none of the cheap ones are situated or to be found in London. How vain that caused me to be...Therefore I just went to Knightsbridge alone, exploring the area and find my way to Sainsbury and Harrods.

I learnt a lesson, which is NEVER doubt the shortest route google maps give us. This is proven correct that there is a path completely blocked by a thick piece of wall though it's a clear and wide path accessible to pedestrians in the map. Google maps ignored the path and gave me a detour which I didn't trust the need to change my route. Soon...

HARRODS! Beautiful and grand indeed.

Took me quite a while to select and find a pair of sunglasses. I ignored the desire and desperation for a pencil and left other acquiring the sunglasses and the member card. XD

Next it's Sainsbury, I met Virginia and Jonathan Gan, WOOT! Then at the counter a lady chatted with me and told me how much she hates wearing gloves and how much she loved the heavy rain in Malaysia... (these women really have unusual likes and dislikes eh?) Recalling Chien Sheng is cooking back home, I started heading back.

Woo...

The one that could barely stay on my face without dropping.

First time with my own sunglasses on

Bacon Carbonara Fettucine, lack of the last thing we missed: mushrooms

Thanks Chien Sheng. ^^

Crossing 2 borders in 1 day

2008-11-08T23:11:00.000Z

Before starting off with the trip to Belgium and France, Joe, Chien Sheng and I started off the day by not sleeping throughout the night and going to shop at Sainsbury at 3 am in the morning. Met many Malaysians on the way, all 2nd years, preparing for Nottingham games.

Bloody Chia Wei put us aeroplane, made the three of us walking in the dark under the streetlights. It was the very first time doing midnight shopping, stocking up on cheaper, stock-clearance-priced meat. As usual, I forgot to buy some stuff that I'm supposed to buy again.

It was kinda late when we returned to Garden Hall, my roommate reluctant to get up from sleep, Chien Sheng went to shower, I went to eat my breakfast, and soon we went to Weeks Hall and prepare to get going.

Slept quite a lot but still not quite sufficient to cover up the lost hours of slumber the previous night. Euro tunnel was really stunning, imagine vehicles being transported into trains instead of pedestrians, quite a different experience.

Soon we reached Brugges, Belgium. It was a peaceful and small town with Dutch speakers. There were uncountable small streets totally deserted in contrast with some populated market squares. Plenty of chocolate shops with various cheating and catchy prices. For me, I spent most of my money for the chocolates here as I won't be stocking up on alcohol later on in France. Not drinking really saves a lot. ^^

We returned to the Dumon Chocolatier shop to buy "high-end" chocolates, they were really nice. The shopkeeper was quite sarcastic in some ways but in the end she gave us a packet of chocolates to share as a gift, hoping for our return in the future. Didn't really get much out of the trip as it was only 4 hours free time for us, including the time to leave and return to the bus stop.

Next, to France. It was drizzling and pretty much everyone who alighted the bus went straight to the alcohol section, including our sub wardens, haha. As we were given less than 1 hour of shopping, we actually lost one person of our coach in the process, sad. After that, we went to the UK border check and it took forever for people who requires to fill in the landing card, you know who I'm referring to, if you're experienced in immigration procedures. -_-

We crossed 2 borders and returned within 1 day, but I believe it's still impossible for us to beat and experience records of traveling around the world in 80 days. Haha. I'll post some of the photos below after facebook becomes slightly less disappointing. *Uploaded*

Note: We didn't have proper meals as I provided muffins, suggested by Hui Xian, which made us not really full =x
P/S: If you want photos with me inside, ask Chien Sheng. XD
