Heading Home

Well, it's Friday. Time to pack up my stuff and head home. What better place to spend your weekend right?
Just came back from Charlie Wilson's War. Awesome movie for me.
Seems that Tom Hank and Julia Robert still have their charms intact. Talking about experienced movie stars, that's real acting.
I'm missing my queen sized bed at home la, but for the moment i'll just bear with my single sized bed.. Nitez...

Zouk Out

Saturday night, went to Zouk with few of my friends to attend a Streething event, it was the first time i attending such event.


The Venue.


Queuing up to get in.


Atmosphere inside.
It was really cool to have UV light inside making white t-shirts, pants and shoe-lace glow.

Free a bottle of Heineken and Samsung goodies bag for each. Beautiful Samsung models too, LOL.

A Home In PJ

This is a story of how i come to find a place in PJ.
When i first entered Uni, it's a transition from the comfort of home to a hell's hole. Not that the hostel was bad but i just can't adapt to a small room with 3 person where you basically eat, sleep and study there. However, it was a place where i met up with some wonderful friends.

After a year in hostel, i was ready to move out. But where? with who?
It was at this time that i made an accidental wonder.
"Hey mel, we have found an apartment in Persona, wanna move in with us?". After seeing the house, i just said yes not knowing exactly who will i be living with.

When our 3rd semester started, we moved in. 8 of us have gathered not knowing each other's attitude or habit. 3 gals and 5 guys.

Our new house was in this way,

The bedroom.


The kitchen.


Min Hoe's table.


Hang Chuan's table


Siat Foon's table


And my table.

Let me recapped our pleasant journey,
Our first dinner together,

It was a collective effort in making pasta.


Our first outing together, which was movie in MidV.


Hang Chuan's homemade fish curry.

And there were many many more fun loving experience. Too much to be laid on this posting.

Then came our 2008, final sem reunion dinner which was 3 days ago.
Finally all gathered for a sumptuous dinner.


In Esquire Kitchen.


Our "Yee Sang" to start the year.


The mouth-watering meal.


The guys in the house.


The gals of the house.


All in the family.

And some cam-whoring around 1U.









Thanks to all of you, living under one roof has been pleasant. There maybe things that we don't like about each other but deep inside i think we do appreciate each other's company.
Cheers...

I have to say that Uni has been great and all of you wonderful housemates are icing on the cake. Many may have found a house to live in but i have found a home.

A CNY Diary

This year Chinese New Year (cny) holidays is short as we have a week of holidays before cny and not during cny so it is sad...
I was only back in Melaka on the eve of CNY as i work for a 5 days at KLCC...
This was how i spend my precious 4 days of CNY.


Eve of CNY:
Woke up as early as 6.30am to pack my stuff and rush to Pudu.
Reached pudu around 8.30am and had my breakfast there.
Luckily enough for me, i manage to get on the 9am bus with my 10am ticket.
No jams on the road so reach Melaka at about 12pm.
Once reach home, unpacked and rest for a while then went to Mahkota Parade for last minute shopping.
Got a G2000 shirt for 1st day of CNY.
Had a wonderful reunion dinner with my family.
Later went to my grandma's house.
At about 11pm, went to Cheng Hoon Teng Temple to pray for a good year ahead.
Met up with friends and went to Sunshine Bar for a drink.
After that went to mamak to cool things off and chatted.
Went back home about 2am and slept.

1st Day of CNY:
Woke up at around 10am and dressed up for the best day of the year.
Went to Cheng Hoon Teng Temple again for prayers with my family.
After that, went to grandma's house.
Half an hour later, went to my dad's sis's house.
The next destination was "Lau Ko"'s (Eldest grandaunt on my dad's side) house.
Around 1pm, went to my dad's another sis's house.
All tired and sleepy, went back home to rest.
At night was at my grandma's house playing cards and eating.
Around midnight went to Lawrence's house to gamble and lost. :(

2nd Day of CNY:
Was at my grandma's house from morning till evening. Eating, drinking and gambling all the way. It was awesome. LOL
At night went to Shi Han's open house and met up with some long lost friends.

3rd Day of CNY:
Most fun day.
Went around visiting friend's house.
To name them all were, Louis, Jimie, Fang Qing, Sian Yau, Hock Chai, Ai Huey, Jun Kiong, Sai and Sim's house... We did not manage to cover more cos some were not at home or were busy.

4th Day of CNY:
Gather at grandma's house then went to Machap's old folks home with grandma, uncles, aunts and cousins. Very meaningful indeed, should do it often.
After that came back PJ with Siong Kiat.
Went for One Missed Call with kiat and wah ching at night.

Basically, after this i'll go back to routine studying and there is no more time to enjoy much already.
Time to catch up with my studies and have the last and greatest sem in uni...

Cheers and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
