Outing with Judith-19/11/09

Just went out with a rather surprising person just now.
Yep, she's Judith Lim. I knew her since form 4 but didn't really contacted her for the pass 2 years(almost). We met during the 2007 National Parade.

Then during last month, on a dull night, I suddenly got a message from an unknown number.
You guess it right, its from her. Then we started to chat, not remembering who each other really are... We chat almost everyday.

Today she suddenly say she wanna come to Wangsa Maju.
So, she asked me to accompany her. She was so blur that she didn't even know how to come to Wangsa Maju... LoL... We spent around 3 hours together at Jusco before she went back to Kelana. She came all the way just to buy a sharpener, a file and a box of eyelashes... =..="...

Gonna be her tour guide again tomorrow...

Sem 1, DONE!

Today is the last day of my 1st Semester of Cambridge A-Level at TARC.
6 months just passed like flowing water and so many things happened. I'm really happy that it wasn't a mistake coming to TARC. I was really surprised by the level of quality here - not like the shitty college that those "38" aunties talk about every morning in the wet market. They don't know a thing bout our college. Yeah, there's many case that happened here. But that was the past. And how the college can manage to control thousands of students?

At first, I never wanted to go to the college.
I'm gonna be alone and there's so many rumors about the college. My first choice was to study at Inti Nilai... But after talking to my parents and my bro, I came here just because of the full scholarship that I'm gonna get.

The first day seriously sucks.
I went to the college with my parents. I know not a single soul there and sat at the lecture hall. I am so surprised to see some of the students dressed in such fashion that I describes as "bunch of buffoons" - shorts with tee and slippers or a few layers of shirts with pants that have strips that are apparently useless like toilet rolls out of order and shoes with untied strings dangling. First thing in mind, this is the people who are actually wanting to take A-level??? That very same day, I know only one new friend - Ho Fong Foo. A jolly nice guy I must say...

Then, I got into the class of SN10e which is described as the secondary class.
That pissed me off even worst. One of the lecturers told me that I can transfer to the "scholarship class" but I rejected the offer because I didn't want to compete with those brainiacs and do well in my class instead.

Slowly, I got closer and closer to my classmates and lecture-mates.
The first few person that I got close to was Marquez, Arnold, Sarayu, Yen Yee and Terence. I wasn't close with the others till after our first break. I've come to know:
> Li Jin and Ivy because of the area we stay,
> Kevin and Wye Kik through basketball,
> Aaron, Tze Jian and Joel through common interest - football,
> Mun Hong and co through crap talks,
Peng Keat because of same hometown,
> the rest of the class throughout the time we're together.
And of course a few of the people who're not in my class or lecture including my bruder(Ah Theng), hot and spicy(Hao Deng), Pei Chin, Kenny, Huat and few others. The lecturers as well - Mr.Foo, Mr.David Loh, Ms. Chin, Ms. Tong, Ms. Joanna, Ms. Ong and Ms. Chua.

We went through many things together and shared so much time together.
They really made the time pass much faster than expected. You guys really rocks! Gonna miss you guys even its for around 1 and 1/2 month. Can't wait for 2nd semester to come!

SEM 1, THE END...

What The.... Weather!!!

I don't know what is happening in this recent week...
Every time I wanna play basketball, it RAINS. When I'm not playing, it is CLEAR BLUE SKY!!! Dang... I've confirmed this by means of an experiment(on last Thursday and today). Both days were rainy days and on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, it were the perfect days for outdoor sports. =..="...

It happens when I'm doing my laundry too!
It had been twice when I'm done washing my clothes(its actually the washing machine that does the job), I slide open the balcony door and the Heavens open. I had to keep all the clothes in the bucket for a few hours. If it turns smelly, I gotta wash the all over again... Waste my time... >.<

Today is the worst rainy day I've experienced at TARC.
It started to rain during our Bio practical as usual. Practical ends at 3.30p.m. and the freaking bus to my condo leaves at 3.15p.m. The next bus leaves at 4.30p.m. So, I went to Canteen 2 to have lunch. On the way, I saw Piak Lin(aka Ah Piak) and we went there together. I took my Star newspapers from the SAD and left it on the table where I'm suppose to sit along with my bags before going to buy food from the stall. I came back in less than 10 minutes and guess what? My newspapers were missing!!! What the... &%$^!!! Which freaking stingy idiot took it???

I didn't care much because I can consider it as donating to the beggars.
With exception that this one steals, not begs. At least beggars will say "thanks". Come to think of it, the person who took my newspapers are WORST than a lowly scavenger. Well, what is lost is lost. By the time I was finished with my lunch, the rain got heavier - not a good sign.

Seriously, I feel that the college needs a better drainage system.
Despite enlarging the drain near the uphill part to the car park, the rain water keep flushing down to the canteen! My shoe sole is about 1.5 inch and in cant see my shoe under the rain water. Plus, our college just got a bigger pool than the Olympic sized pool at the clubhouse - introducing... THE FLOODED FOOTBALL FIELD!

The worst part of rainy days - everything is WET!!!
My AND1 basketball shoes are WET, my sling bag is WET, my basketball bag is WET, my hoodie is WET, my shorts is WET, my hands are WET, my legs are WET, my socks are the worst - they are WET and SOGGY! So much for basketball for this week...

p.s: I'm not going to play basketball this week!!!

Shao Wen's Birthday Card

There, there... I'm back at why I does best!
Origami + Creativity = Shao Wen's Birthday Card
The last card I've made was like last year - helping Dom Dom and Allen to make cards for Eileen and Janey at NS camp. But this time is even worst. I have very very limited materials. All I had was the red heavy paper (that's what the origami artists call them), the W, E and N wood pieces which Li Jin bought from the Craft Haven at 1U, 2 pieces of blank A4 papers and the hard paperback of my test pad... In other word, the card is made of 80% reused materials. But I think its pretty cool. Haha...

I've spent the whole night just to finish the card in time.
Approximately 7 hours. The card doesn't really looked that hard to make... Only if you know how to make it. And my ideas keep changing as more and more ideas will pop out in my brains. The original plan was to make a normal 90 degree pop-out card like all my previous cards. But all of the sudden I've come out with an idea to make a 180 degree pop-out card. It took some time to take shape as I was experimenting with my waste papers. After a few experiments, I came out with a prototype with can stand and is stable.

Its really exciting doing paper arts! ^^
I get to challenge myself to make more varieties and creative things. Its like making something out of nothing! Really enjoy it...

The front page, the W, E and N are wood pieces to create the 3-D effect.
The words are to describe briefly about Shao Wen:
1. WACKY
2. EXTRAORDINARY
3. NICE

The interior, center piece is the pop out ring of flower with the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" written beneath it. The ring was made with the flower drawn on a piece of blank A4 paper and glued onto the hard paperback and cut with knife and scissors. Then, it is held by 4 pieces of paper which enables it to pop up when the card is opened. Note the tiny hollow compartments. That is what that consumed the large amount of my time cause it needs precision...


Seriously, I like the flower very much!
I found the picture on the web (I've very limited time to think of my own design for everything) and copied it onto the paper. It really looks great after I've finished cutting all the petals out to make the hollow compartments. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the card... One that I can be proud of... x)

Korean Stuff^^

These are the stuff I've bought at the Korea store...

Sunflower seed cookies...

Coke zero... I think its more or less like Coke diet...

Korean rice biscuit.. Mom's will like this^^


We went to the Korean food fest and tested the Korean "Fuji" apples.
Its really big and juicy and crunchy... Then we filled up the survey form for the Apple Export Research Center of Korea and got a pretty nice book mark! =)
Tze Jian and Bo must be jealous! XP
