Mid-year 2011
I wont say im back again,thats how i've started my previous posts of late.lol
So much has happened since my last post which i am keen to update here.Again and again i would like to apologize for my procrastination as hardly took the effort to sit down and blog.
Right now,it's the 2nd last day of my two week holiday back home in KL.
During the past few months,i've already entered university and started my long 4-year journey to getting my degree.
Having already stayed there for the past 5 months,i can say with clarity that i've enjoyed my experience there,the campus looks great,a fair number of internationals and managed to settle down fast,thanks in large part to the friends i've met.
God has been truly awesome to me in my time there.The only thing i can comment on is my struggle to mix with people OTHER than the ones i mix with,my Chinese isnt exactly the best yknow,haha
Also want to talk about the Bersih Rally 2.0 (Google it).
Its really testing times for my country,a corrupt government,a blind police force and a ridiculous ban on the colour yellow for clothing (or anything related to yellow).With every stupid measure the government takes to stop and hamper the rally,i can only laugh at how dumb they can be at adding fuel to the fire.Their credibility drops with every passing day.Considering that the rally is tomorrow,i cannot wait to see how things escalate.
There's just so much injustice here that many people living overseas can be forgiven for staying there.The level of bias seen in the local newspapers (The Star) is a disturbing indication of how horrible the government will go to mislead the public.
Now yellow is seen as a one-way ticket to jail,can you believe that?! (Yellow is the primary colour used by Berish Rally organizers on their T-shirts) Talk about a severe blow towards human rights. Innocent people have been arrested for it, which is sad. Clearly our nation is far from the democracy that it claims to be.
But you know the old cliche ''Freedom isnt free?",that statement still holds true even now.How far will we have to go,as a people,to attain justice? How much must we sacrifice,before people snap and realize something must be done?
Deep down,i wish to be a part of this,to do something for others,for my country,for my family.But fear holds me back,i am merely at the early stages of pursuing my tertiary education and i dont want to risk it.
This country needs change,and it cannot come at a better time.For those who have really sacrificed everything for our country's sake,i look-up to them.Hopefully ill be able to do my part soon.Somehow =P

February Blues
IM BACK!
Once again,procrastination has gotten the better of me and then comes the big delay in-between blog posts.
I did mention i was going to blog about the Langkawi trip i mentioned in my previous post but im honestly quite lazy to type it all out here,haha sorry about that.
You can go check out my friends blog which has a post about it in one of her latest posts.Just look for ''Chooi Si'' in the friend links on the right.
Back to things in my life!
A very Happy Chinese New Year to all of my readers (if any) and to all you fellow yellow Chinese people out there! =P
Mine was a good one as usual except that there were three things i strangely did not do this year which are suppose to be typical of a usual Chinese New Year tradition:
1.Eat an orange (Not a single one!)
2.Eat Yee Sang (That dish where you stir all assorted food stuff?)
3.Take a family picture (Very queer)
So yeah,the trip down to Singapore this time around was slightly different as the torrential rains a few days ago caused flooding in many regions in the country and it was quite apparent along the side of the highway we were travelling on.
Ive applied for work in a couple of tuition centres to kill time,but unfortunately they dont have full-time classes for me to teach at the moment apart from replacement classes.So instead im looking for a day job at Sony Centre.
Apart from that im just bumming at home with my laptop or going to church or to cell group or to gym.Thats about it.
With exam results coming in March,i need to make use of my time productively (Not to mention keep my mind of them results.
I suspect my Cbox on the left is getting spammed by malicious internet programs,alot people i dont know typing weird stuff.Hmm
Tell next time,take care guys.

2011
WELL,IM BACK AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY DEAR READERS (If any)!!!!! Sorry for the long overdue blog post,ive been too occupied with other stuff as well as plain procrastination for the most part.
Heres a list of updates on my life:
1.Well STPM is over,finally over.I dont want to go into the details but ill give a rough summary of how it was.
I for one,personally think that the pressure in STPM is very much less than compared to A-levels and that people should really stop thinking that its that horrid,its not.
Granted it IS hard,but only because you didnt study enough,but thats it.The label it keeps getting as one of the top 3 hardest exams on the planet is a ridiculous overstatement.
I also admit i did struggle alot during the exams,not surprisingly more so for math and chemistry,but i thank God for the blessings of atleast taking it and having some degree of enjoyment.hah
2.Post-STPM time has been chock full of activities for me
First off,was the church youth camp,of which i was a committee of.
Was a really great camp with lotsa memories,especially the feet washing part,was deeply meaningful.
Plagued by a fever like almost all the way through camp and got really embaressed because i kept sniffing and coughing due to sore throat and phlegm =S Strangely,that was the 1st time i got sick all year,of all the times to have it,lol
Games were cut short due to rain,i blessing in disguise?
At the end,i learnt a few important things about love and leadership from the camp,will miss my team mates!
When i came home,waiting for me WAS MY BRAND NEW BABY MY SWEET DELL XPS 15 LAPTOP!!! Unboxing it was sheer joy and turning it on for the 1st time was just soooo lovingly memorable =P Here's to great adventures with you my new sweetheart!!
On to Christmas!!
Barely had time to do some Christmas shopping as i was in camp and only managed to buy gifts for some people.
After that went to Singapore to visit my family there,played some charades and thrashed my relatives in that game,haha Its always nice to hang with the family =)
Not long after that was new years eve in church again,im just glad at the turn of the new year,im still having the time of my life with friends ill never forget and blessed with a healthy family..
Well,its time for my uni life to begin,im in no rush despite the fact that most of my friends have already gone to uni.Life for me is the enjoyment of the journey,so its no biggie.
On to my next blog post,the BEST holiday trip ive ever had:LANGKAWI WITH FRIENDS!!! =D

To my friends,thanks for everything,the good..and the bad,ive learned so much from all of you about the way life goes.You'll always be remembered.
And of course,my family.I love you with all my heart,and ill always try my best for you guys,eventhough i dont show it often.
