Recollections

As the author, I want to take a time to do something more personal and more fulfilling to myself. As I engage on something quite sensitive to me, I wish the readers to take heart on what I am going to write. Though this post is not picture heavy and that proves to be one of my most ‘attractive’ feature of this blog, I do hope you appreciate that words are indeed as powerful as pictures itself. Bare with me please.

As you may have know that in sometime early April, I’ll be leaving to down under to further my studies. As this is my first time being overseas for about more than half a year, I have my doubts on succeeding in this awaited and painful journey. Due to the fact that I have been pressurize to the very last bit and made sure every detail of my trip to Aussie is planned accordingly, I also finally started to regret. I am not to say that this chance is plain useless to me as many people never even have got this chance to go overseas to study. I have to count myself a lucky person. But being lucky is another thing, when everything here will be simply left behind once your gone.

From family, friends, your most beloved pet, your most loved person, your awesome rig, your house, your daily life, your favourite food, your culture, your particularly everything have to be left behind. This is hard for me. I can accept changes, but when everything just come to you at once, it’s just hard. For some of my readers out there, I know you must be wondering.

“Who gives a damn about changes, you have the chance of a lifetime to be out there, alone, independent. You are finally free of all your troubles. Your finally going to lead a new life out there and not stuck in a third-world country like Malaysia”

What life I am going to lead. A successful one or a dreadful one? Freedom also comes with a price. Responsibility. With people around you cheering your back, people spending tens of thousands of AUD on you, people you love missing every bit of you, consequently, that is a big responsibility that you have to carry.

This is what I am experiencing right now. A life with many possibilities all undertaken by just one decision. A decision will ultimately change how the way you live and how the way you feel about yourself. I am certain that with every decision that you have made, the more you start to regret. And the more you regret, the more you will despair. But as all old grannys, uncles, friends, teachers, and most other human beings will say, it all comes from hard work that you will succeed with every big decision that you have made. I humbly agreed on that.

So to that, I finally ranted out something that I wish to say a long time ago. But before that, I wish to ultimately, thank my uncle for financing my studies in Australia. Without him, I can’t help it but have this feeling being overshadowed by my people around me. To my friends out there, I’m sorry for leaving you guys in the dirt, but I’ll come back soon enough. I’m terribly sorry. I feel the pain of leaving you guys as much as leaving myself from Kuching.

Do comment about my post as I finally enabled comments in my blog. Do make it comforting and reassuring though. Thank you for your time.

Earth Hour

I currently had switched off all the lights in my house.. except the light emitting from my computer screen^^

So far, I only known 3 places that had switch off their lights, Four Points, Cold Storage and Petronas Gas Stations. In some speculations, those also inform me that MBKS Building also had already switch off their lights.

Image0490 It was supposed to be lit brightly.

Though some of us are not so happy with the idea of switching every light. Like in my neighborhood..

Image0493Wat to do..

Anyway, Support Earth Hour. Save Earth.

Damai Puri Memoirs Finale

The final take and the finale that you have been waiting for. Took me quite some time before I decided to post it up due to many reasons. But who cares about details, it’s finally here.

Do me a favor and do not trust Nathaniels part of the story. His lies will only brainwash you.

Starring our wannabe heroes;

group Natalie, Brenda, Joan (Can’t come up with a nice name xD)

Day 3

Our plan to wake up to see the sunset was screwed again cause we couldn’t bare to be awake at half past 5. And Nat was part of the crew that did say he didn’t want to wake up also. Put the blame on Soni. She kept us awake for too long. Damn you to the bits of every circuits you have.

P3080131 This reason for our sinful act of ‘slothing’ around

We woke up early again to catch up with breakfast. The moment we set foot on the hardwood of Elements, all we saw was the foreigners which was busy lining up for food. And the line was as short as Nat’s “pen”. There was barely a chinese soul in the whole place. Though it feels a lil tweesy bit scary to be eating with all those tall people, we still preferred eating with less people. No need to be scrounging every fried potatoes that you see. Though we seem a little sad as this was our last day..

P3100253 “So I was saying, Condom or Contraception?” Jeff uttered. BK in deep thought.

P3100251That is what Nat do in his free time. Gawk at people who are eating.

On a side note, we saw a small group of Malays or “Pau Tau’s” who looks to be a part of a political group. So, that is what they do to help the country??? Go figure.

After our faithful meeting in Elements, Nat said he wanted to some big business in the toilet. I wonder whether is starts with a letter Musterbate or Shit. So me and Jeff went for another old folks session at the Activities area and went for some Congkak fun. It’s where you put marbles into many holes and you yourself tries to collect them in your own homebase hole. It’s simple really though it’s complicated to tell here.

When Nat is finally done with whatever he had to do, we walk all the way back to our crib to do some little packing of our own before heading out to the beach.

DSC00140 Honestly, he looks ugly here xD

DSC00142 “Can you like stop hitting on my chick.. OH MY GOD, what are you doing to my SONI?” Nat screamed.

Not long after that, we were finally at the beach. Our first visit to the beach wasn’t that aspiring or memorable as we didn’t had much time to be swimming there. All we saw there was an overweight foreigner lady, a grandma I think who was bracing the waves and the locals playing some sort of futsal with no goal post.

The beach was much cleaner than the beach at Santubong Resort I can assure that.

DSC00152 For those people who are constantly emo, can come here to let out some steam

DSC00155You know which place will take it’s toll if a tsunami comes.

DSC00159 If you guys learn geography, can you tell me what is this phenomenon?

And yes, we did a little cam-whoring at the same time.

P3100272 Do we call this an extreme sport?

P3100274 Obviously you see that mine is bigger ^^

P3100275 The majority of Suku people had just increased that day

P3100277 Trying to be gangsta.. Which he will fail miserably

DSC00164 Nat’s and Jeff’s single life turn out to be like this..

DSC00163 Though it then turn out that they love someone called MELVIN.

With all that fun to be had, we finally retire to the hotel, or only me who did that. The rest of the group for another round of swimming which I gladly skipped. We knew our time is up and we had to retreat to our safehouse back at Kuching. Our 600 was well spent excluding of all that food that we bought and the fuel that we used paid to Nat. Yes, it ended quite abruptly. Quite like a blow to our stomachs.

DSC00146

Not that but i mean..

P3100283 Sad…

DSC00182 Despair…

We marched onwards to the checkout counter with our overloaded luggage. We were about to resume our daily activities before the eye of the storm (SPM Result). With everything planned out, Jeff will continue trying valiantly to be Lin Dan and struggle in Form 6, Nat will be busy applying for scholarships in Chemical Engineering and joining those geeky ass science competitions and lastly Me, who will furthering studies in Perth sooner or later, we were even more ‘emo’. Those was very sad moments..

Though Nat was more worried about money that we had to split up and paid to Nat. Yes, its very true. A snobbish scholar who cares more about money than his friends… Sob

We packed our belongings to Nat’s "Proton or Perodua" (Due to CD's concern on my limited knowledge of Malaysian Cars and his overwhelming support in Malaysian Cars) Viva and drove off back to Kuching. That was the end of our trip to Damai Puri…

P3100264 Sayonara

OUTAKES BY SINCERELY, US (NAT, JEFF, BK)!

Tears in Heaven... Literally
More than Words... But barely enough lyrics

Emo guy failed badly at emo song

L4D Moments (Jeff, Nat, Me and My Bro)

Us Busting some Zombie Ass.. Or was it the other way round..

This is how we play L4D for those who want to know.

To our dismay, Jeff have to summon a Tank (Some big monstrosities). Though it took all of us down sadly. T.T
