Wednesday For Now

Let's see what I did today. I definitely jalan-jalan in the Curve to find a paper shredder and some red candles. Hmmmmmmmmm. All were out of stock. A bit centre like Ikea too had no stock of red candles.

Then headed for my facial in Ampcorp. Read the previous post for more details.

So balik rumah and meet another new cousin from my father's side. Such a small world. She is going to be a florist for my sister's wedding. So yea. But I have to admit her flower arrangements are the best so far. And gsssssssssh. She looks so young.

And now just came back from Chilis for a little dinner. Had so much now and I feel I'm putting on weight. Eeeeekkksssss. Need to slim down a bit so that I can fit into my suit.

Facial-ah

Today was my first facial ever. Hahahahahahaha. I know that sounded just wrong but oh well, nowadays guys need to groom themselves to be more presentable. You know women can be very particular and such. I don't think most girls would like a pizza-crater guy face(no offense to those but it's not your fault, it's the bacteria or virus which is causing your acne!!!). Do you see Brad Pitt having acne?

Where got spots one?!?!?! See. :P

Anyway, it was quite relaxing just to sit there where they just clean your face and tone it I suppose. However, I didn't know that it was quite long about 2 hours. I really needed to go to the toilet then. Don't think it would be good to be going out of the shop with a big white face and cucumbers on the eyes. Just kidding. No cucumbers of course.

Under-dressed Horror!!!

Never in my life I tell you that I have been under-dressed. I'm usually semi over-dressed for nice occasions but this one, it just caught me off guard. I just wore my normal smart casual shirt. Nothing wrong right wearing for a open house dinner in the Marriott.

Mana tau the Raja of Perlis(the ex-Agong) attended this Raya open house. Not to mention the Chief Minister of Melaka!!! It's just pure embrassment to see everyone wearing batik and I'm the ONLY youth wearing that. Even, the kids were wearing batik.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhh. I just feel so disappointed and the embarrassment I had to endure during the dinner. I could see eyes looking at me thinking who the hell is this young fool attending this dinner. I can't blame them. :(

Food was not too bad. Loads of food as usual. Buffet style. Satay, curry laksa, assam laksa, popiah, japanese food, ice kacang, cendol, fried chicken, char kuey teow, Caeser salad, lamb chop and desert. I had most of it. Couldn't resist all of them. I haven't eaten those for like a year man.

Anyway, my new mission is to get a batik shirt. And the only place to get my batik is from Terengganu. The airport to be more precise.

p/s: Sorry no pictures. I didn't bring my camera. Damn it. I wished I could get an autograph from the Raja.

Lala Tuesday

For Tuesday. Nothing la. I mean just went out for Litte Penang Cafe in KLCC for curry laksa which was quite bad, lobak and top hats if you know what that is. There that one you put phang kuang into the fried cupcakes. I also tried to find my iPod speakers but unfortunately, it's not in Malaysia yet. So, I guess I will get mine from Amazon and get my sister to bring it back.

Had a friendly call from the Malaccan. Talking about our future which looks bleak. What to do.

So for now, just waiting to go to JW Marriott for Raya Open House again. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love Raya and my Malaysian food. Kakakaka.

Graduation

So, here it is. Well, some pictures are mine but some I curi from others. I hope you all enjoy the pictures as I do so much.

The day started early with the collection of the gowns. I had my tickets(luckily, they arrived after the postal strike) and we headed to the professional photographers for the family pictures. Being in an engineering school, everything was in mass production and fast. It was snap snap snap and I was done. The ceremony started at 11.30 a.m and lasted for 2 hours.

Aerial view.

Bottom view. My parents were sitting on the second tier in a box!!! Even I don't get to sit in it. :(


An undergraduate.

A graduate. The 4-seconds of fame.

After a 2 hour loooooong agonising of not clapping and name-butchering MCs saying most of the Asians name, we adjourned for the reception in the Queen's Lawn.

But before that, it was for sure to take some pictures outside of Royal Albert Hall. After all, this is the grandest venue you can ever graduate. Some of the pictures are in random orders.

The ever good-looking little brother I have. Never seen you like this before. Just so classy and stylish.

Siew Ping of course. Without a wardrobe dysfunction. Just kidding. Hehehehe.

Sujatra. The other Malaysian in Aero.

Ahhhhhh. The great gay lou. Hahahaha. Omar you rock.

Miss Goo. The crazy Norwegian.

Wan. The ever patient and sensible person I knew in Imperial College.

Tockie Tock!!! Finally, dah graduate!!!

Chien Liq who had a loooooooooooooooooooooong lunch break. Thanks a lot.

Umut. The Turkish. Girls goes crazy over him. And an accent to die for.

The ever sweet and most compassionate girl I know, Anu.

Big teddy bear, Dhruve. Who's your daddy?!?!

Song. Well, she is safe and sound from the fires of LA. :)

After those Royal Albert Hall pictures, I didn't get much because my family headed off to the reception because they were hungry so I was left out. That's just sad but oh well. The finger food served was definitely nice and the champagne was nice.

Siew Ping again.

Now, Wayn.

Oh hail Xue Lieh.

The Chinese group in group. To be hones there is quite a number. Hahaha.

Arjun, the anime freak!!!

You know this is the first picture I have with Charlotte after all these years!!! Ang ang ah, Charlotte Yeow!!!

A very hungry Kai too. Haha.

The cool Zhern Yoong.

And a big gang here. Mostly the third years. Thanks mates.

Alvin, me, Winston and Wesley. Great to see you guys again.

So please comment on the pictures. I hope they are nice and I certainly had a great graduation. Everyone looks handsome, pretty, beautiful, matured and all lah. The best part now is that I'm going for the graduation in Singapore.

Singapore here I come!!!

Last but not least, I would like to say thank you very much to my parents and sister for attending this graduation. Without them, I wouldn't be in Imperial College without their encouragement and guidance throughout. Also thank you to the 2 other who attended the graduation, little bro, Heng Kai and Siew Ping. I couldn't ask for more. Got to give it to Siew Ping for her great job on taking pictures. Thanks to those who were there and not there for giving their support and the list goes on.

Would continue more but it would get too soapy. It's suppose to be a celebration! So, guys good luck in the near future(which you all will and definitely) and will keep in touch.

Mayhem Monday

As usual, Monday is the start to the week. Sluggish and just dragging yer bum from bed to go to work. But this time around, I woke up at 8 a.m due to a weird dream and I headed off with my Mom to get some necessary stuff for my sister's wedding. Me dunno about wedding but it should be fun. It will be held in 2 weeks time. So hope that's fine.

On the other hand, I had a superlicious time eating won ton mee near Chinatown and damnzzzz, it's still good. Had like 1 1/2 plates, an extra bowl of won tons and a plate of char siew with a big cold cup of milo peng. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! And it cost all less than 2 pounds. To be honest, it's a bit pricey for Malaysians standard of living.

Then off we roamed in Chinatown to find an artefact tea cup. Unfortunately, we weren't lucky. Most probably, the cup could be sent to the museum for history purposes. Hahaha. But we didn't go back empty-handed. We got some massive flower i.e. bird of paradise and crab claws for the house.

Bird of paradise.

Seriously, don't mess with this flowers. They are as tall as me and hard as a rock. But with the elegance and beauty in them. These flowers are so puny compared to ours. It was labeled XL. Haha. And the price was cheap too.

Crab-claws.

So, that was about it. Went to Bangsar Shopping Complex to get a glass vase for the humongous flowers.

Of course, a short nap was in order after that and I didn't get much sleep that night.

Super Sunday

Wow, this is fast. On my first day I'm out for a Raya open house and then off to see a concert in Bukit Jalil. Am I a busy bee?

For now, there will be no pictures of anything because I didn't know that this computer doesn't have the card reader and I didn't bring back my cable. So please bear with me.

I will definitely write more but for now, I'm kinda tired and I need a big loooooooong shower since the LRT train had no air-con and the stadium was hot.

All in all, a very good day.

Graduation Sample

The graduated Cheng Chun. Okay. I have to admit the picture is a bit big and flashy but I shall put the blame on the photographer. Kekekeke. Sorry la Siew Ping. Your camera kan. Hahaha.

Here's a snap shot from graduation. Will talk more about it.

Back in Malaysia

This would be my first post in Malaysia. Selamat kembali Cheng Chun, warga Malaysia. Hehehe. It's nice to be in a familiar country where I know where is where and always fascinated with new developments.

I have been away for exactly 397 days and my area in Mont Kiara has certainly changed. More buildings sprouting like mushrooms and the roads are still the same as ever; damaged to the max with the most uneven roads ever.

And oh yea, had the worst flight. It was bumpy. My seat was horrible since it was next to the trolley tolls(the place where the stewards get food for we hungry people) and it keeps blinding me with its light. Then I had an Indonesian man tossing and turning like mad. To make this worse, the food was quite bad. And to complete the bad experience, the entertainment system rosak. Aihhhhhhh. So terpaksa sleep.

Went out for a little Japanese dinner in Desa Sri Hartamas, Sugimoto. However, I noticed that that area seems to be extremely quite on a Saturday. It must be due to other shopping complexes opening. Beats me and better because there is now ample of parking spaces.

Ok lah. I better head to bed. Most probably, I might have my Coffee Bean breakfast. Hahaha.

Off To Malaysia

Guys and girls. It's my turn to go back to Malaysia for my 'summer' holiday. Yea I know it's long over due but I hope it would be a good trip back.

Now, I will be away for an indefinite a long time. But the worst part is I dunno whether I can go away not able to seeing certain people(two to be exact) during that time.

Okay not the best picture for me and not Malaysian Airlines but it looks nice. And today was the first A380 commercial flight to Sydney from Singapore.

Graduated At Last

Wow. After 4 years of enduring into university, I am now a graduate. After 4 years I am now a matured person to venture out into the big dangerous world. After 4 years I am to progress and be responsible of my future and life.

NOT

Hahaha. Well of course I'm serious about those but I think it's quite important to know what I really want in life. I see many people doing something they did or might not like but mostly go into something which the norm goes too. Well, as we can see from Imperial abut 60-75% of engineers goes into banking or to city.

What's fantastic about it? A great salary with a nice comfortable apartment in the city will just cut it? To be honest and I personally calculated it, it comes to the same. But I always believe that there must be always equilibrium in what we do.

But enough about reality. Yesterday was my day. More to be posted later.

Two More Days To Go

As the title said. I would be officially an intellectual person. A person who have knowledge to share but most importantly change the world. Cough cough. Well, it would be cool to win the Nobel prizes. Muahahahahaha. Only so much one can dream. But you never know. Finding a way to go to space without blasting with hydrogen and oxygen fuel.

Then for today, it turned out to be okay and everything is back to normal. Fingers crossed. Back to the normal routine of shopping and relaxing with the parents.

Destination: London

Well, it's almost time for graduation. Everyone is flying from all around the world to spend 2 hours in the grandest venue a university can have in the UK. Well, after 4 years enduring every thing, it better be nice!!! Now, I just worried that my hair is so short. I look like a gong kia!!! I hope it grows slightly faster.

I really hope tomorrow would be a good day. If not. The consequences are deadly.

Terrible Conclusion

Everything went smoothly yesterday but it ended with a mishap. It's my fault.

Friday, 19 October 2007

Eh!!! One more week!!!

In a weeks time, I would be back in KL. Finally. After about 395 days away from the homeland, I'm really excited to go back. Just want to eat and eat and nothing else. So, Malaysia here I come.

But for now, I'm having some complications with my earphones. I dunno whether it's my ear lubang is too big, small or cacat shaped but it seems I can't fit them in properly. Sennheiser gave 3 pairs of different ear canal sizes but all doesn't fit properly. Hmmmmmmm. I think there is a way or technique fitting them. So simple yet so hard. :(

Greenwich III

O hoooooooi!!! Though I dunno what I was looking at.

Kuala Lumpur is on the line not bad.

On exactly 0° 0' 0".

Looking somewhere. Looking east!!!

Now, I know. It's St Paul's and Tower Bridge.




Ringo's new found love. :P

Peace on me man!

Cekik Cheng Chun!!! Wahhhhh. Triple C leh.

Nice nice. A very nice day indeed.

All in all, a great day spending time with Tock and Ringo-chan. Hope you enjoyed my company as I did.
