Awesome...

Just found this long lost tune I heard before somewhere when I was younger,
-'Memory' by Elaine Paige (from the play Cats) and some songs by Lobo, Bay City Rollers; ancient songs really..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s96NZoeDs68
Taken from the original play.
probably was the super old cassettes my parents listen to which were suposed to be popular back in their time..
Like recently uncle Ding and me found ourselves driving down to Cork in the south for a golf tourney, a five hour gruelling night drive through the irish country side so I don't blame him for falling asleep behind the wheels (plus he's old!), what we ended up doing though was blasting some ABBA songs and singing along to them flying down to Cork 120km/hr(more actually) in his 4 wheel-drive-portable-karaoke...
Ignoring the usual standard cheesy 70's/80's/90's lyrics, they actually made some good music back then.. apart from (again) the VERY cheesy lyrics..
Just reminds me of those 3 hours balik kampung journeys to Ayer Tawar, Perak.
Reminiscing on those days only makes me home sick sometimes minus the singing along of course, which was desperate to keep the car on the road not some ditch ahead.
Noooo...part of me wanna go home now!
So much for staying back this summer anyway. Remembered the last time I was home, saying goodbye to my grandfather back in Sitiawan before I leave. I wasn't goina go home the next summer(i.e. next time I will be home is in 2 years) knowing that, he said(in mandarin of course) 'study well, next time you come back, you can come back and see me again, I will wait for you to return..' Those words slowly sank into me on the 3 hours back to Subang trying to imagine my old grandpa sitting waiting on the porch which he usually does whenever he knows we're coming back...The truth was, my grandma passed away last CNY hence my 'ah kung' being lonely and slowly losing the will to live. His slowly failing health conditions only makes me wonder if that could be the last goodbye..
Shrugging that thought aside, some good news, got a bloody hard paper on monday while the weather is being a bitch by being so nice and sunny while I'm stuck inside studying..
Back to work.. can't wait for next fri. Fun and games all the way!

R.I.P.

Not that the blog is dead, but rather some moth that was flying around my room last night that I named Boogie. The thought actually crossed my head at one point -'what do moths eat?' Pet moth? mmmm... too late now anyway. Accidentally killed it there.

'Le deuxieme papier est fait!' 2 down, 2 more to go...
'Je detest les examens, c'est tres ennuyant.'
Refreshing the odd bits and bobs of french left in my head.. even that still needed an online dictionary to prove how much I forgotten, bye-bye £15 for those french classes that I never seem to attended trying to restore my memory.
1 way to keep myself occupied during the exam periods : do press ups...
pathetic really but if it works, don't give a fiddler's fart what so ever. Good prep for summer camp anyway.
Enjoyed watching MU get raped by Barcelona last night, some justice finally.. Henry found himself on the winning side of the finals at last.
next fri... can;t wait.

1 down, 3 to go.

Did my first paper today, Process Control. Honestly harder than I expected. Did it anyway, fingers crossed I don't have to come back and do a resit in August! Really wanna go to Canada now for adventure training with the OTC..
Imagine that, 2 weeks in Canada for £500 flights bungkus semua,mountain biking, kayaking, abseiling all those things, PLUS I get paid for all that 2 weeks there..i.e. £500 back! Shit man... A defo!
Adventure trainings summre only once in 2 years, (the last time they went to South Africa)
Now down to earth, the 2 things that stand between me and that.
1# - I pass all my papers now and live a care free August-to-come.
2# - I move the date for one of my resit paper forward/backward so it doesn't clash..

Next paper,next Thursday then the dreaded 'Mass Transfer' the next Monday... the 1st.
Angels and Demons today at Movie House with PC, Francis and Julian (ppl my age). And before that a good feed of KFC...
Some small gathering/bbq in my house after that,by my other housemate seen a shite-load of doctors (and doctors-to-be) gathered in my house just there..
Only seem to enforce the perception in my head that doctors are really a boring bunch... Well, not all lah but a general stereotyping done there..

04:06 am,
Peace out!
bed...

Good place to start anyway.

Tulan-ness..

Heres a simple political summary in Malaysia..


Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin (PKR)


VS


Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir (BN)


Both Perak MB's apparently but should realy go down to by elections agian. Quote Datuk Nizar "Voter, not courts should decide on who is the government". Not easy eh with the armed forces and police taking orders from 'you-know-who' which is basically/naturally biased.
I'm sure we all know that? No love for these type of politics lah...nuff said..
(Our government actually arrests it citizens for this kind of comments democracy my foot..)

Gulps*

12 more days to the 1st paper!!
That familiar knot-in-gut feeling sinks in..
With that stack of course work left to do..

We shall overcome!

Reshuffle the eejit.,

What do people do when they're bored? - blog..
AND reaarange their rooms...
Well, applies for me anyway. Bet there those who beg to differ but what the heck?
2 weeks running up to my finals, a few restrictions imposed on myself (by myself!)

1) Sleep early, i.e. 'early' = range of 12pm-2am max.

2) Can't touch Dawn of War whose shortcut sits temptingly on the bottom left of my desktop.

3) Refrain from going on nights out AND in (i.e. drinking) until the exams are over. Mini pub crawl after the 1st leg MU - Arsenal match and all I seem to remember is it being wet..

4) Hurt my knee after the Belfast Marathon so goina go easy on the knees especially cycling and badminton.

In for training last night for the first time as A Coy. Its like when I walked into the drill hall, all heads turned and stared! Guess not many people here had seen a sesated Malaysian in a RIR caubeen...awkward none the less.

Abit hypocritical about my 2000 word essay and my design project...
Don't we engineers love bullet points? :P

Ini saya ada..

Insomnia is a symptom[1] of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity.
Wikipedia.

I just can't sleep or rather refused to shut down my body and sleep.
Not the first time and infact happens almost every night except those nights when I'm put to bed with alcohol in my veins or when I completely burnt myself out with too much physical activities.
Its 3.55am here now, oblivious to the fact that I will only have less than 4 hours of sleep before getting up for the Belfast Marathon at 8.20am... Doing 6.0 miles tomorrow at a relay event with Pat, Jeng Haw, Jia Li and Jim. 1st to start of anyways..
I'm really goina need redbull,
Its goina be fun,
What the heck its more like a prep for my summer camp anyway.


Marathon number and Tee.

Can't convince myself to sleep, can't enjoy sleep, restless, I can feel that my life is somehow building up to something... Something I still can't figure out. Can't see where my life's path will take me. Its like walking on foggy grounds.
Stupiak exams creeping up as well, doesn't help that the weekend thats past is a totally unproductive one too.


Final destination! (for today of course.)
