Last week i made a surprised trip back to Penang for Angeline’s birthday. She didn’t even believe i was back in Penang until i checked into the airport via foursquare. She was already on her way back when i arrived. I met up with her on Saturday and as usual i picked up whatever shirt i had on top of the pile to be worn.

Bad mistake.

When i was in her home waiting for her to get her things ready, she was all dressed up. I mean really really dressed up.

What i had on? A pair of jeans and a black shirt that says, Hard Rock Casino London.

“You are not walking with me in that hideous shirt!” she said.

She didn’t really say that actually lol. What she did say was, “Why are you wearing that cacat shirt? We are going out for my birthday right?”.

I felt bad.

“What if i drive back home and change into another shirt,” well that’s what i thought i should have said.

But instead …

“This shirt not nice? Ok we go to Gurney Plaza and i will buy a shirt on the spot” i said, thinking she would mellow down and suggest we might as well drive back to my house.

“Can can, like that easier. No need to waste time drive so far” she replied.

T.T

So we went to Gurney plaza and i had to make sure had sufficient cash in hand cause i rarely carry much. I saw a huge crowd at F.O.S and decided to try my luck there.

Me and my so called hideous shirt T.T

Angeline picked out 2 shirt for me to try and so here they are.

I know most of you are accustomed to seeing girls doing this camwhore-in-changing-room thingy and here i am doing the same -_-!

Nothing biggie but just to show you that how a shirt or in this case 2 shirts made the difference. I ended up having both. Haven’t really bought any for this year and so getting both wouldn’t kill me. Angeline voluntarily sponsored one of it. So nice.

Birthday girl getting present for me lol. The world is changing, definitely.

After that we had Sushi before watching Grown Ups which was simply hilarious !!!

We ended the day by playing Monopoly Deal with her family back at her home. Frankly speaking, this is one crazy game. It’s UNO + Monopoly. Fun fun fun.

Of course being new to the game, i got my ass whooped by everyone T.T

The night before that we actually tried the Korean food in Kim Gary and my verdict is 2 out of 5. I was basically eating fire -_-!

I could barely taste the food cause everything was hot. Fire hot, not chili hot.

Just outside of Queensbay is some capalang fun fair and we went there. When i was small, i used to go to Pesta Pulau Pinang where the fun fair was then the most ‘heng’ place to be. We would all go back to class and talk about the crazy rides and how ridiculous some of the ghost looked like.

This fun fair however was damn gila babi expensive.

1 bloody token cost RM 2.

Played a few games and then left. Rather spend the money in Gentings. Nevertheless, my trip back to Penang was quite spontaneous and we just couldn’t care less about complaining.

As to Angeline, Happy Happy Birthday!!! Well it’s belated now

P/S: Carried my DSLR everywhere and took all my shots with my iPhone. I have to force myself to use my DSLR soon, else it’s gonna collect dust.

I have seen this shirt whenever i passed Ogawa and i always joked with Dolphin, if i can only get one of those shirt, LOL. Here PinkPau too got into the frenzy and tried one out at the Ogawa Outlet.

Anyway how many of you have tried a massaging chair, besides the ones at the airport ? I for one never trusted sitting on one especially after feeling my bones being ripped off by the el-cheopos in the airport when i tried a few years back. So when Ogawa had a blogger session a couple of weeks ago, i had the chance to try out their products. You definitely get for what you pay for.

For starters you don’t feel like you are sitting on a chair filled with sharp edges.

As we were ushered to the Ogawa outlet in Pavillion, RedMummy and Nicole got on to the Smart Mate. It as visible that the 2 ladies were enjoying their massage thru out the short session. Imagine having worked in those high heels the whole day and the next thing you know you have your Smart Mate gently massaging those feet

The guys too tried out and i overheard some of them saying, “Woahhh having this and watching football would be damn good”. LMAO.

There were basically 2 models that were highlighted to us. One is the Smart Mate and the other was the SmartAire.

SmartAire was slightly different looking from the rest. It looks highly sophisticated from the way it looks to the way it functions. In this case, Huay Bin and Nicole were trying out before the SmartAire positioned itself for Zero Gravity.

So what’s Zero Gravity about ?

Inspired by Nasa’s space shuttle seats, the Zero Gravity is the ergonomically correct resting position which removes the pressure of gravity on the spine to near to near zero.

By reclining with feet higher than the heart, with a torso to leg angle of 126 degrees -/+ 7, astronauts are able to safely distribute the pressure of takeoff across their bodies. This Zero Gravity angle helps to maintain the proper S-curve alignment of the spine, in which pressure is most evenly distributed. At Zero Gravity, the spine is able to relax, muscle tension is relieved and circulation is improved.

*The facts above are credited to the findings of NASA doctors and scientists. Zero Gravity refers to the position assumed by the massage chair when activated. The Zero Gravity angle refers to the position when the torso is properly angled, with the thighs and lower legs positioned above the heart.

This is the one of the main features of the SmartAire.

Wingz experiencing zero gravity Everyone who tried SmartAire did say it was definitely something different.

Wingz shows why you should try Zero Gravity, hahahaha. PinkPau, Nicole were trying to get him to pose for the camera and Wingz suddenly gave the peace sign, HAHAHAHA.

As the rest of us waited for our turn with SmartAire and SmartMate, we tried other Ogawa products.

Lady Gaga ? PinkPau trying out EyeTune

Suddenly more Lady Gagas appeared, LMAO

Cindy, Lady Gaga-ing.

Actually SmartAire and SmarMate reminded me of a certain chair at home where my dad would sit and me and my three siblings would massage his hands and legs. Yes manually massage, lol and the chair is just a normal chair. We used to do this everyday but as one  by one left the ‘bird’s nest’, my dad was only left with my youngest brother. So probably getting him a SmartAire would be ideal for his upcoming birthday

F1 was crazy last night. It was soooo short ! but the excitement  was over the roof when the cars stopped in the middle of the road ! LOL

… and as for EPL, Machedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! What a curler ! The battle of the last minute goals, ROFL

Btw, i have just wrote in my entry for Malaysian Dream Girl and this time the girls were in Royal Selangor for their first outdoor photoshoot

For those who have no idea what a zorb is, it basically the same as a hamster running in it’s plastic ball. The difference is, for us the ball is cushioned by air in the middle. The it’s to refrain hard impacts as we roll down the hill. To make things more exciting the participants are strapped on to the wall of the zorb. Thus as it roll down, so do you >.<!

If you are wondering why don’t the description match the picture above. That’s because it’s a water zorb. Water zorb is identical to a hamster ball.

Don’t be deceived with the photos because water zorbing is a waste of time and money. I will you why later.

So it was a bright Sunday morning and 26 people gathered in an excitement somewhere in Titiwangsa.

I couldn’t find the place at first and i called Bernard for the exact location. He said once you see 2 plastic balls on the left of the road means you are at the right place >.<! And he was right, i just continued driving around the lake till i saw these zorb balls.

Just as i described earlier there’s air in between the 2 layers in the zorb. Since it can accomodate 2 people at once, Bernard and i were paired up.

A few days before this event, Esther emailed me some coupon which i am suppose to bring so that the price of the zorb would be only RM 15. After finalizing the payment and all, we all waited to take turns.

Esther immediately said she was the first to go.

The ball was then rolled a slight slope and was held till Esther and her friend got strapped in. The slope isn’t that steep compared to the ones i have seen in New Zealand but nevertheless for 15 ringgit what do you expect? The distance it would roll is about 70 meters.

The instructor will help you out with the harness if you have hard time strapping into it. The girls were all observing for some reason but i am not sure why Bernard looks excited. HAhahahahahaha.

Once Esther was ready, they rolled down the ball and all i could hear were screams from Esther and her friend … who is a guy. ROFL.

Knowing that there’s 26 people and it would take eons before Bernard and i would have a chance. We decided to go for the water zorb first. Nicolette and Alice joined us.

It’s not that near from the dry zorb so we drove over to the other side of the lake.

Bernard was the first one to go since there weren’t anyone there. Water zorbing is also RM 15. And as you can see, first you would need to get into that plastic and they would pump in air till it’s full. They would then further pump in using a smaller pump.

It’s seriously not easy !

There’s no grip …. inside and outside. So all you do is fall …. and fall in the most awkward manner >.<!

Bernard was even luckier because when he was trying to find the inner hamster in him, a TV crew recorded the whole thing, LOL.

We escaped from the rest because we want to spare the shame but Bernard went two steps back by showing himself to the country, hahaha.

Alice was really funny, LOL. Cause she did try to run as much as possible and from far, she does look like a hamster

You see, we knew by going for the water zorb first, the rest won’t be seeing us like this. But when Nicolette spotted them walking from afar, she immediately said it was her turn after Alice @_@!!

So i was left to be the last one.

Nicolette didn’t last long cause she just doesn’t seem to go anywhere and it’s seriously tiring though you try to move it around. So she sat and enjoyed the scenery. But then again, she wasn’t wearing her specs. Hmmm now i wondered what was she even looking, lol.

By the time she was done, probably half of the whole group was already there and everyone was waiting for me to get in.

You know how people would say, “Save the best for last” ? Well this was one of those moments, wuuuwuuuuuuu

Have you seen a buffalo falling ? There you go ….. >.<!

What a way to start my water zorbing experience. At one point while falling i thought the zorb was gonna burst or something.

Once you are in the ball you basically can’t hear much unless someone screams at you. And when i fell i could hear clearly everyone laughing at me @_@! So that’s how hard everyone laughed.

I tried everything to move it like a hamster ball but the harder i tried, the more weird i fell. If only the outer layer of the ball had some groove so it will move against the water rather than spinning on the same spot.

But it was really fun !

Esther’s one was the shortest i think, LOL. At one point she even tried to escape even when she was in the middle of the lake >.<! LOL

After capturing Esther’s fall, Alice, Nic, Bernard and i went back for the normal zorb.

The problem with 2 big buffalos entering the zorb is, when one gets in, the second one would have a hard time cause the hole is even smaller @_@!

… and i got freaking stuck, blardy hell and Bernard who was already inside had to pull me in.

We were too heavy that they had to push us down, ROFLMAO. Actually they do push for everyone since the slope isn’t that steep.

I know i screamed a lot, Bernard too and the momentum was madness. Imagine 2 of us causing the ball to roll down even faster than the rest. swt swt swt.

This is a small taste of what’s there in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan as i was told that the zorb there is longer …. 250m down >.<!

1 minute of spinning.

According to the fella who organizers this, for the first 20 seconds you would be screaming happily but after that till the end, you would be dying to get out, lol.

All in all the experience was great !!! Would definitely recommend it to anyone for sure.

Zorbing anyone ?

Two more days to the dateline and here i am trying out ‘A moment with your Kakiis’. I should have done it quite some time back but because i have been away from my notebook most of the time, i finally have the chance to browse through the pictures that would be suitable for this entry.

I definitely had to post this picture up.

Full House

The expression on Mr Leong’s face is definitely the reason why this picture is on top of the pile This outing with my Kakiis was significant. Why ? Cause we were all out to celebrate Mr Leong’s birthday as well as Miss Tan’s farewell but their food never arrived. In fact Aaron had 2 rounds and yet their food was no where to be seen. It was more than 2 hours until the waiter brought it over. Talk about service -_-! LOL

The picture above was taken while waiting. We found these black frame specs for sale and decided to take a couple of photos with it just to buy time

I could carry on posting tonnes of pictures but i decided to put a handful so ease my beloved bandwidth, LOL.

Now if you are wondering why these pictures appeared out of the blue, well because i was browsing thru nuffnang’s blog and realized that there’s a competition going on whereby you post up a picture of your kakiis. So what is Kakiis all about ? It’s a local social networking site whereby you can stay connected to your friends via the net as well as mobile phone.

Kakiis.com

Besides that you can even share photos and video thru PC and phone. Nowadays sites like this are definitely making it easier for all of us to communicate with one another anytime any where.

I took this opportunity to actually dig out and post all my old and recent outings with my Kakiis LOL.

Annual Dinner @ E&O

I am finally back … back in the blogging world, LOL. I have so much to write but so little time to do so. When i eventually have the time, i am either hibernating like a bear or in front of my tv. Can’t wait to get back to track with all my work being piled up every since Deepavali. Speaking of Deepavali, my parents got back from Japan on Deepavali’s day itself and YES they got me another Hard Rock Cafe shirt, hahahaha. In my previous entry i did mention that i was hoping for something else, i mean it’s Japan for heaven’s sake. An Aibo would be good enough or even a PS3 but nooooooo, i got a shirt instead. Not one but 3 shirts, hahahaha. Anyway i am happy with the shirts, i was actually expecting nothing judging from their tight schedule.

The second week i had much more time for myself, so much so that i lost track on the dates of the 2 things that i was really looking out during this break. One was my Singapore trip and the other was Genting Trailblazer. Earlier i thought i would be in Singapore first before heading to KL for Genting Trailblazer which was wrong and it was the other way round -_-”

All photos in this entry is courtesy of William. Thanks a lot man !

Knowing this at the last minute, i had to find transport to KL cause flight tickets would cost a bomb especially booking it less than a week from the date of departure. ChenSeng aka ItchyHandSeng was kind enough to give a lift. But that lift lasted from my house to his house and not to KL @_@!

“Eh you know how to drive or not ?”

“Aboden. Why ?”

“Ok then you drive all the way to KL, i am tired”

@_@ OK lorrrrrr

Angeline aka Dolphin also tagged along. On the way we stopped at Autocity for early dinner and the food was terrible. We carried on from there on and reached by 11pm.

On the day, we left for Genting, Zila was kind enough to use her car to ferry us up. Upon reaching we were greeted with millions of goodie bags …

…. ok maybe not millions but it was really a lot. After collecting our goodie bags and room keys, we went to check out our rooms. We didn’t expect the room to come with 2 queen size beds. It was seriously big and it was a bargain for the price we paid.

William and i were given the number D40 If you can see the cards on the shirt, it’s actually a holiday card which has a value of RM50 in it and we were free to use it at any shops or stalls that accepted it. William and i combined together with Zila and Ida, so we had RM100 to burn on that day. Oh i forgot to mention that we arrived a day before the challenge itself.

Thinking what can we do with 100 bucks, we roamed around Awana to do things that we wouldn’t usually do, or probably too kiam siap to spend on it.

We went to enquire about golf and decided to get 200 balls. If you didn’t know that’s Ida at the front left with Zila behind her and Dolphin showing her Qi Gong moves, hahahaaha.

To be frank, i have never actually played golf before and tee-ing to the driving range was hard, i mean REALLY HARD. I kept slamming clubs on the cement ground and it hurt my hands like hell.

Don’t be fooled by the picture above, hahaha. The balls never passed the 100 yards mark. Ok except William who kept slamming the ball into the trees for no reason and that was like how many yards ? 400? 500 ?

We then adjourned to the Squash courts and played a few rounds before tiring ourselves with a game of ping pong. Yes we did all these the day before the trailblazer -_-! LOL

Trying to finish the prepaid holiday card as fast as possible, we opted to get ourselves Baskin Robbins. Dolphin and Zila took Tiramisu and Cheese cake respectively. We decided to keep the balance for another round of Baskins on the next day

Before going to the rooms to wash up for dinner, we roamed around to camwhored

Dinner wasn’t something to shout about for RM 42++ i was expecting something better than what was served but then again, we were at Genting and things are definitely more expensive.

The next morning …

Before i go any further, i want to say that i have no pictures, i repeat NO PICTURES during the course of the race I noticed so many participants carried their Olympus around and i was jealous. hahaha.

It was slighty damp that morning and it started to drizzle as we marched to the starting point. There we were told the do’s and the dont’s but the most interesting part was the warm up session. It was conducted by Fitness First and it was seriously fun. Fun in a way to grab people’s attention but not good enough to warm up the body. Personally i thought it was too brief. After a couple of speeches and tree planting ceremony, we were let off like wild cows. The first couple of kilometres were basically running round the golf course before heading into the jungle.

I didn’t really like running round the golf course, so i walked and jogged for most of the part. It was very scenic and the surrounding looked refreshing especially after a light shower. When i saw the route leading towards the jungle, i just went hysterical and i was dying to get it.

Just as i stepped into the genting hutan, i had a hard time getting a gripped with my new el-cheapo shoes. Knowing that the shoes are gonna be covered in mud prior to the race, i deciced to get myself those bad ass black bata shoes. I couldn’t risk my Nike shoes, lol. To cut short, it was a bad move. I should have gotten those cheap sports shoes in carrefour instead -_-!

… so through out the jungle i was skating. Not literally but actually skating. I looked like a cow on roller blades trying to balance thru the jungle -_-” William on the hand got himself a pair of crocs and ran like a monkey deer. He would disappear from my sight within minutes and i had to skate even faster to catch up. His crocs was so distracting that almost everyone noticed his shoes.

One even stopped and asked …

“Eh you are from Crocs is it ? Promoting some more”

“Hahaha no ler … “

Knowing that i was gonna be slightly slower, i took the liberty of helping the ladies with some parts of the jungle. I am sorry i meant elderly ladies who were in the oldies catergory. Hehehe. It was really fun seeing each other helping out cross certain terrain or obstacle.

It was like one big happy family …

… except for a handful who just steamed off like bulls not worrying about their lives.

If skating thru the jungle was bad enough,  my jaw dropped down when we reached the first obstacle which was to climb down a slope which was like 80 degrees i think. Everyone who reached there gave this look …

@_@!

Similar slopes came by again and some we had to climb upwards. It was defintely a challenge but it’s fun.

William and i lost track of time after a while and we started to crave for KFC. I told him i can’t wait to get my hands on the 3 piece chicken and he couldn’t agree more

We finally reached a small river and i tell you the water was fishing cold ! We sat there and dipped ourselves in it. After a while we decided to hang on and wait for Ida and Zila to join us. After twenty minutes or so, we saw no sign of them and carried on.

From there on, it was mostly uphill and i have to stress this, DON’T FORGET YOUR GLOVES! Grrrrr. I left our gloves in my bag and i relied on leaves whenever i was climbing upwards. The shoes were crap. There wasn’t much grip and i dug my foot right into the muddy surface to get some proper grip. Obviously this took up more time and energy.

“Sikit lagi, pergi atas sana dah sampai”

That’s what most of the marshalls said, LOL. It definitely gave the needed boost before being followied by a big disappointment that there’s more to come

Along the way we found many lost souls i mean lost soles. Shoe soles to be precise. I am not talking about one or two …. but there were manyyyyyyy. At one point we even spotted a pair of Nike shoes. Not the soles alone but the whole shoe itself. Seriously ganas.

After more than two hours plus, we reached the final river and that’s where we stopped and waited again for Ida and Zila. We dipped ourselves in the cold water and enjoyed watching the rest climbing up vertically. We waited there cause the line was considerably long and further more we wanted the two girls to join us. Here’s another tip …

… dont ever dip yourselves in the cold water. Why ? cause it doesn’t do any good to your muscles except shrinking it and making it even harder to move around -_-!

After half and hour or more the girls were not to be seen and we decided to carry on. We were already out of water and we needed to get to the water check point asap. It was all the way up again and was stopping every now and then to catch my breath. Then it came to a point where i just sat down and didn’t move until i heard an elderly man said, the water check point is up here. A sudden surge of energy kicked in and the cow on roller blades skated towards the so called finishing line, hahahaha. Water never tasted so good and gulped down a couple of cups before carrying on.

The sound of the PA system was definitely a positive one as we know we were getting closer and closer.

Finally with my very own eyes i could see the tents, people, civilization … and just when i was about to walk to that direction, William said …

“Eh there’s an arrow pointing the other side. We need to climb up the hill and come down that way”

At that point i wanted to scream but i just stood there staring and thinking …

“Why… whyyyyyyyyyy”

A man in his early 30s cameby and told me …

“Eh come come, a bit more only. You already reached all the way here, try to finish it”

… and so i carried on walking for another ten minutes or so.

We finally reached the finishing line and we saw a booth giving out free bihun and i dashed living William behind. Yeap that was the first time i actually ran faster than him. Hahahaha. The bihun, just like the water tasted sooooooo goooooooooood.

Ida and Zila were no where to be seen and so we went back first to wash up. Dolphin was waiting for us in the room and she was dead worried when we took longer to reach. William washed up and went off to find the girls and after an hour or so, they finally reached

We quickly packed our things and went to the cafe to get ourselves Baskin Robbins and cakes again before departing. Upon leaving we found out we still had balance. So we dabao nachos and ate along the way back.

I knocked off once we reached the Karak highway.

The experience i had was really abundance and given the chance i would do it all over again. But this time with better shoes and gloves and of course being fit

I took very long to update this entry is because i was too busy shifting things from my old house to the new house. Once i got everything done, i started typing but i didn’t have enough time to finish it.

So here i am blogging on the bus as i am heading towards Singapore Won’t be having much internet connecting when i am there. So see you all when i am back in KL. Until then ….. Obama rawks ! Hahaha

P/S: If there’s any spelling or gramatical error please do inform me I am publishing it without even checking >_<!

Salam Aidil Fitri to whoever is celebrating Time for Open House

Everyone is either back at their hometown or off to somewhere for a holiday and here i am, stuck in my room for the whole week. I had the option of returning home and even being tempted a couple of times but with the pile of work i have to do for my lab experiments, i had to forgo the idea of being in Penang.

If that’s not bad enough, i am vegetarian for 9 days and with this one week Raya break, vegetarian food has been hard to obtain, let alone normal food. I am already sick of McD and Old Town -_-”

So i am off to hunt for food right now and i shall leave you with a few pics of Jess’s birthday. If you didn’t know, Jess got kidnapped and blindfolded through out the journey

First i lost a bunch of undies which was conveniently drying out at the drying bay. Then it magically appeared back after 3 days. Since it was old and it roamed to God knows where for 3 days, i decided to discard it.

I was then surviving on limited number of undies so it was critical that it dried in time …

… but the weather was so unpredictable and the remaining ones couldn’t dry in time -_-”

So for the weekend, i resorted in using my speedos.

Sigh, i seriously need to get a box of undies soon

I was alerted by my parents that i was suppose to be the driver for my brother when he comes down to KL to catch Chelsea vs Malaysia but after realizing that the match was gonna be held at Shah Alam Stadium, i tagged along …. and at the same time burning a hole in my wallet.

I didn’t join him at the same stands because the ticket i got was slightly cheaper.

So instead, i joined Jin Boone, his gf and his friend

The streets around the stadium were filled with people bearing both Malaysian jersey, flags and also Chelsea’s. Stalls were set up to sell merchandise from either camps. After a closer look i realized most of it were imitation and mind you the price set for the items were quite steep for my liking. But i did end up getting a Man Utd key chain >_<”

Besides seeing the faithful fans of both camps, there’s also tonnes of fans from other clubs. Some even ran down the road parading his jersey to everyone before running off -_-” Real childish and probably because of that, security officers were deployed all over the stadium, just in case if a donkey like the example given gets into trouble.

Then there were random people who showed off their jugging skills on the road …. probably hoping that some scouts might just ….. just spot them -_-” LOL

We all had our dinner at one of those stalls before entering.

As we entered, we were stopped cause it seems cameras weren’t allowed -_-” Then JinBoone as usual wouldn’t go down without a fight, so he literally slapped the security officers with a bunch of questions and the next thing we knew, we were in, hehehe

One of the other reasons why i didn’t hesistate to go for the match was to see the new coach of Chelsea, Scolari. Personally i like to see him during a match, such an animated fella Besides Scolari, Deco was also why i was there. That fella is small in size but the way he passes and scores …. is something worth paying for.

Yes yes i am a big fan of Man Utd but i don’t see why can’t i support individuals from different teams

While snapping around, i was approached by this fella. He was asking me all sorts of questions about my camera and also whom was i supporting. Later on he told me that his father was the assistant coach for Malaysia

The atmosphere in the stadium was electrifying and everyone was cheering their lungs out

Deco

Wayne Bridge with John Terry looking on

Anelka

Jin Boone in action

LOA case (Lack Of Attention)

Probably you would be wondering why isn’t there much photos of the players. That’s because the pictures taken weren’t really zoomed up close and most shots were taken when they were in action. So that’s why i decided to put up a few

A red devil fan ?

Through out the match, JinBoone and i encountered the biggest chelsea fan and i don’t mean physically. This girl who was seated behind us, kept on cheering for Lampard and don’t get me started when Shevchenko came on to the field. She even had a Chelsea flag with her at all times

The match ended with 2 goals i think or was it 3 goals ? What ever it is the Malaysian team did put up a good fight, the only thing lacking was the finishing. In fact they could have scored at least 2 goals.

I am wondering when will other EPL teams come by Malaysia again

P/S: Robinho has been bought over by Manchester City !!! Now who would have thought of that when the transfer deadline ended ? Goodness gracious ….

A few days a go i joined my fellow comrades in the ‘PHAILED’ regime, simply because my site was down. William was the first to say, “Satkuru, you iz phailed” -_-” In fact i have renewed it more than a week before the expiring date but a miscommuncation with the webhosting company cause it to be down for 96 hours in some places.

So to those you were so nice to actually drop me messages asking where in the world is my blog when you only see a weird looking page, i thank you for your concern

I have so much to blog about but everything seems to be backlogged because i don’t have enough time to write >_<”

For the time being, let me share with you a few of the ‘phailed’ moments that were captured in the past few months

Hung Wei failed in focusing

I failed in setting my camera in the right settings that it made this picture look like there was an enormous explosion -_-”

LOL i wonder if you all noticed what’s wrong with this picture

P/S: Go watch WALL-E ! It was better than i expected, seriously. Two thumbs up. Evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

So last weekend was MMU’s convocation and i was there to help photograph for William. I reached the Grand Hall close to 12.30pm which was when the graduates will be allowed to leave. The place wasn’t as pack as previous years where part of the buildings surrounding the Grand Hall wasn’t fully completed.

I met so many people, those who have graduated years back and those who are still in MMU.

For the first time, i tried editing using photoshop. Previously i have only used photoshop to watermark and resize my pictures. Since William and David had been telling me how they have used PS (photoshop in short) to edit their photos, i thought of giving it a try. I didn’t do much except play around with the filter to get the effect of the first picture you see in this entry.

Back to the convocation, as much as i wanted to snap a lot of pictures i returned with a disappointing amount. Neverthesless, i i think it’s more than enough to have an entry written.

William and Harry

As i was browsing thru my pictures, i stumbled upon this and noticed someone familiar. The graduate on the left is Sim’s brother if i am not mistaken

Other than Valentines Day, Convocation is the other day where flowers are overpriced -_-”

…. and also soft toys -_-” LOL

This is a common scene in any convocation. When i was at UM’s convocation last Thursday, a lot of graduates got thrown into the air

Jonathan was kind enough to help me snap a few pictures of me and my fellow friends, thanks man

Pik Jian and Jessie. Last week while i was waiting at a TM Net center in Bayan Baru, Jessie actually stood beside me and called me a few times but i was too busy daydreaming into space until i got nudged from my mum -_-” LOL thousand apologies Jessie

Sue Anne was also there. Lingster and her MGS girls were all there for Sue Anne

William, Calvin and KingYu

For once William was in need of a stool

JinBoone was also there with his *coughs* D80. aiseh. LOL

The Ever Ready Aun Pein

Finally everyone is ready WengChoong and Bernard M.I.A -_-”

William was saying how can he not take a photo with his photographer, lol

That was for the first day of convocation which consisted of Engineering and Management students. The next day i dropped by for a while to see Jess who was graduating from the IT faculty. Sunday was meant for Engineering students from the Melaka side and IT students from Cyberjaya campus.

Steven and Jess

Alvin and Satwinder over at the DJ-booth

Sue Anne and her sis were there too

Steven – in the middle of everything, lol.

I was barely there for 20mins before i had to leave. So sad. If not i would have had gone round taking more pictures.

To those who have graduated recently, from both UM and MMU – congratulations
