Bittersweet.

Christmas was started with the morning service at 8a.m.

Got Shereen from her place, adjourned to church after that. This year's program was by the kids, Children's Church. On a personal opinion, I find the Christmas play this year a lil cliched. But the lil ones were adorable, nevertheless. And the theme for this year was the call to come home, to come back to the Father.

Had a Christmas luncheon with the relatives, after that. Didn't really take many shots though. Photos were stolen from the aunt.

Aunt Sharon bedeviled me. =)

With Uncle Kevin.

Everyone crashed my place for a time of talking and talking non stop, with some lame games in between.

Alicia, queen of the hula. Here she is, twirling 2 hoops at the one time for what seemed like forever. And she can seriously dance. Dancing future? Pretty bright, when compared to...

This boy who can't twirl shit, but does a darn good job at humping instead of hula-ing. Hahaha..

Everyone was in stiches watching him go. =) I give you, Joel.

After the games, I received a call from Josh saying that Winson's dad had a sudden cardiac arrest. Not long after that, I was informed that he had gone to be with God.

I lost the mood to do anything after that. It was mighty saddening. Winson, we are here for you. As a cg, as a unit. Stay strong, bro. Words alone won't wipe away the pain, but our Father above can. May you and your family find peace amidst the pain. And I am awfully sorry that I won't be able to make it for the memorial or funeral, as I would be in Penang.

Today.

Went to Putrajaya with Shaz, Jack and Josh to make new identity cards. Our current ones were in a rather dilapidated condition. Mine, for one, had split into 3 parts. The card quality sucks la, no questions about that.

The wait to be served was long, but the service was very efficient. =) Because its Putrajaya ma, some might say. Haha.

Shaz's number. His counter also had a nice number. 007, sial.


Last but not least...

A cap, personalized towel and quirky socks.

It was simply sweet. =)

And I'll be leaving for Penang later. Can't wait.

The usuals.

Alot has been going on, lately.

The U.S Congress has approved US$700 billion bucks to bail out Wall Street bankers from their financial irresponsibility.

Japan proposes record budget to bolster economy.

We have Obama bolstering recovery plans as the economic outlook dims. All the best, dude.

Drastic lifestyle changes, for some people.

Inflation is nothing compared to what is going on now.

That's all for current world issues that are worth mentioning.

Anyways, the finals are finally over. Let the party begin.

Went to Starbucks after the last paper, with the KarachiDude. Met up with Pearlyn and Shereen. Had fun talking and crapping, just the four of us. A vacation, maybe? We're all in dire need of one anyway, hence the awful load of crap. :)

My ext. HD has been a joy for many people. The movies in it is the cause, not to mention the tv series too. But I need it back. So whoever is having it, kindly pass it back. It isn't right to keep something that isn't yours.

The Christmas gathering on Thursday.

Emily and the photographer.

The subjects.

Anyways, the family is back from their vacation.

Their effort in trying to make it up to me. Surfsuit, amphibious tee, boardies, khakis and a denim. I'm happy.

Shyt, after hearing all the happenings from Joel, I wanna surf!! Darn it.

But there's still this Saturday's Penang trip to look forward to. :)

Christmas is around the corner. I haven't done any Christmas shoppin' yet. Shucks.

That's all for now.

Haven't been blogging lately because the blogging drive kinda fizzled out.

Will be back, maybe.

Till then.

De-stress.

In a lousy bid to de-stress...

Monday night, after the Electronics paper. 10.20pm.

A good movie overall, though I can't say much about its helpfulness in reducing the stress level.

All my friends curled up in a fetal position on the cinema chair practically throughout the movie. And mind you, they are all supposedly tough guys. They practically watched the entire movie through the slits in between their closed fingers, because their hands were covering their eyes. A few of them even yelled halfway through it. And furthermore, these people are used to the horror-gore genre.

And to see them like that was absolutely pure gold. :) Laughed my butt off after that.

And yea, the movie is a good heart-stopper, with the scare tactics at the right places and at the right time. I admit, I was pretty grossed out myself too.

Sigh. It's 4am and I'm blogging. Taking a break from revision.

And the download speed of my torrent client hit the sky too. :)

Click to view a larger size. Samuel, this is the reason why you should be using this. Haha.

Getting back to my notes now. Gah, some life.

Anticipated.

Twilight. First thing in the morning today.

The movie did the book justice, in my opinion. A solid, good 2 hours.

The Cullen family. Starting from the left, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Edward, Carlisle, Alice and Jasper.

In the book, the vamps were said to possess unparalleled beauty. When I saw the cast, it was a quite a letdown lol. Shucks la, all macam biasa jerr.

James, the vampy tracker whose thirst for blood is appaling. Pretty cool dude though. Character played by Cam Gigandet of the O.C series.

Overall, it was an entertaining watch indeed. Now, lets see how New Moon goes.

Studying, or rather trying to.

Supposed to stay at home for a week, some house-arrest I imposed on myself in a stupid bid to study.

Konon-nya.

But on Monday....

It was some special screening by X-Fresh and Thx. At TGV, 1U. A good doggie movie.

If you don't like dogs, at least watch it for Rhino the hamster lol. Bolt's no.1 fan.

Am studying for the upcoming finals next week. First 4 papers, the remaining papers will commence after tha Raya Haji week.

Exam period needlessly lengthened. Gah, this is bullshyt.

But after the exams.. its partyy time. :) can't wait...

Lousy.

This week is the last study week of the semester. Next week is the study break, then followed by 3-weeks of the damn finals.

And it's a week from hell.

This is the week where nearly everything is due. Final year projects, assignments, reports etc.

Fire Systems: 2 pending reports, 1 take-home exam (110 questions).

Applied Solid Mechanics: Final project, 1 take-home midterm paper (4 complex essay questions with 6 short questions each)

English: Final project, Field Research presentation and Research report.

Electronics 2: Desynn System Analysis assignment.

All of the above has a due date of Thursday and Friday respectively.

To top it off, I was cruelly struck with food poisoning since Tuesday. Had a pretty sad case of diarrhoea, till the toilet became my 2nd home.

But.

Looking on the bright side, I've managed to do 40% of the above load. And my stomach's slowly gettin' back to normal, thanks to Rantac and Lomotil. And also the prayers. :)

Its 2.32am. Am gonna start on the Solid Mechanics midterm paper now. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it by 8am latest.

What a life.

Joel's 20th.

Went to Haus Frankfurt for dinner with the family, last Thursday.

The birthday boy. Red faced due to drinking, as always.

The mum and John.

The Weihanstephan. German beer with a sweet aftertaste. Something like Heineken, only better.

The Franziskaner. Another sweet lager.

Half of the family.

Random shot of the place.

Decent place, this one. First time there, too.

Went back to the house after that.

And have been frequenting Devi's corner lately. :)

Improvement.

Was feeling random.

And I tried this again. After such a long time.

74 words
I improved. Compared to the 47 wpm last time.

So fast?

Came back from class today, and found this.

Guess their passion finally paid off. Eventually.


Congratulations, Duchess. You're one proud mum. :)

Happy happenings.

Port Dickson with the monkeys, last Saturday. BBQ-ed there.

And was roasted by the sun as usual.

The biggest monkey. Named Joe. My housemate.

Futile attempt at a jump shot.


After shower. While waiting for the rest.

Up next, Rachel's 2oth.

Rach, Adelyn, Bridget.

Pimp her ride.

The flaming dragon. :)

They like to camwhore.

The next day...

The Gardens, Midvalley.

Was asked to puke, while Ganesh pissed. Hahaha.

The birthday girl and her cake. With Adelyn grinning weirdly. Lol.

Happyness. And shyness cuz we were singing so loud. :)

Opening her prezzie from Ganesh and Bridget...

And got ZAPPED!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA...........

After that, she got snow-sprayed by Patrick, in the elevator. What a shock she had la. Hahahaha.....

The video has been uploaded on Facebook. Go to my profile to view it.

That's all for now. :)

Practical.

Was at the hangar yesterday to do an inspection on a Hawker Siddeley HS125, more commonly known as the Hawker Beechcraft. It posseses a Honeywell TFE731-5BR dual turbofan engine,w which it carries on either side of its wings.

The bird.

And its engine, exposed. Its one big complicated thing. Had to inspect the fire detection system.

After replacing the engine cover.

It was indeed fun, a nice change from all those boring lectures in class.

Went to The Alamanda later that night, to catch the much-hyped Bond movie.

It was a good movie, more action then ever before. Not much of a storyline though, and it was a pretty short movie, to my surprise. Expected a lil bit more.

And between the two Bond girls? I prefer Olga over Gemma. Lol.
