Another sunday..

It's a sunday! Woke up at 7am, went for a jog. It's nice to have a nice jog early in the morning which i've not been doing for quite some time. A less traffic environment, so the air is pretty clean and fresh with all the nice green trees around ( something which is abundant here ), also the sight of greens are just all around, you definitely feel so close to the nature.. lol.. anyway, i should start kicking myself more and force myself to wake up early more often to do more jogs. I registered for Penang Bridge Half Marathon again this year on 22 November. So i've another reason to keep me motivated. ( i hope it does )

Here's the route for this year. It's a little shorter compared to last year.
After the jog did a little cleaning at home before going out for dim sum breakfast with my housemates. Did some laundry too to prevent them from stacking into a big pile which I know it will if i don't do it today. Sat in front of my desk, facebook a little, check mails, and now scribble a little on my blog. Weather seems a little cloudy today, i duno why but i kept stressing on this everywhere. Perhaps i'm just hoping for it to rain. But haven't seen a single drop till now.

I've been listening to Hitz.fm since sitting in front of my comp. Two of my favourite songs.







Feel like taking a nap. *Yawn*

Also mooncake festival's coming soon. Wonder how will it be this year.

The long holiday is ending soon

I safely arrived in KL sentral by KTM at about 530am. It wasn't that bad, i would say. The seat was pretty comfy, reasonable, not too bumpy, the air-cond was working but the lights were on all the time ( i can accept that ), was a little noisy ( i can accept that ), lots ppl walking in and out was a little distracting though.When you start sleeping and keep have this feeling of ppl walking by, esp if you are sitting by the aisle. I was awoken few times due to that. The conductor came in somewhere in the middle of the trip to check my tickets when i was half way in dreamland. Luckily I had it placed nicely before hand. One thing good about taking train is that you'll end up stopping in kl central early in the morning rather than in front of maybank around pudu. kl sentral was so much better, nicer, cleaner, safer, with toilet and places to sit around and wait for time. They even have McD.
So was back home enjoying myself relaxing. Din't get to eat tupat. sob. Just stayed home most of the time. But still manage to go shopping, went mamak, went dota, went satay celup, din't go for movies though ( not much nice show available ). However the nicest things to do is still staying home with family and lazing around. Hehe. Need to pack up a little and get ready to get back tonite.

Balik Kampung.. woo~ oo~ oo~ balik kampung..

Yay! It's friday again. I'm going back home again tonite! I'm a little excited cos I'm taking a train back. I've always wanted to do so but just din't. Partly because it's slower and it stops in KL. But this time thanks to Kiat who will pick my up and balik kampung together so I decided to take the train. Further more, taking train saves a lot more especially when your pocket feels empty. I got my tickets to KL for only rm18. Wee~~

But..... I wonders how the service will be. Will it be comfortable enough? Will I end up being awake the whole night? I've taken train in Vietnam, but that was like the soft sleeper. This is like hard sitter. Quite contrast though. So I hope KTM won't disappoint me..
Anyway just gonna go finish up some stuffs in school and get ready to go back.

Also.... a shoutout from me to all those celebrating this festive season.

Selamat Hari Raya !!

A relaxing swim @ Jawi Resort

It's been a while since i last went for a swim. Vig suggested, so here we go again. Had a little breakfast before heading out on our bicycle. Another cycling detour to Jawi Golf Resort. The morning air was great. My bicycle however had some prob along the way. Struggled a little for a while but we were close to our destination so still manage to reach there not long after.
The pool was considerably big. It has several sections all connected together. I've only been there once or twice. We swam for a while, stood under a manmade waterfall. Feels great to stand under the waterfall. Just like a free massage. They even have a spa pool where you can enjoy body massage while relaxing. We stayed in the water till the sun was right above us. I wished we could have stayed longer. Took a shower and went for lunch before going home.
A nap would be great after swimming but it was rather hot in the afternoon and i ended up watching my TVB drama ( burning flames III ) and studied a little french. I guess I could have sunburnt myself a little today. I could feel my whole body emitting UV like the sun. I feel like a burning sun. hehehe. In the evening went Pasar Ramadhan with Vig and AS in PB. I didn't buy much, just some kuih and a pack of drink which already cost me rm3. I know I could end up spending a lot more there so i tried limiting myself. I ended up going back home and cook maggi.
At night continued with my drama and just finished it. Bedtime again.

Hmm.. still wondering what to do tomorrow. It's always boring during the weekends.. If only I had a transport....

Stunned by lameness

Was I really that bad in electronic circuits?? Or was it some ppl trying to push the blame on others?? Prob statement, towards the night before the main event, something went wrong. It's like a magical ball, where u see lots of electric charges in it, when u touch the ball, a concentrated line of charge will be formed. It's been running the whole day, trials after trials, everything was fine. There's this fan, how it's being related to the ball? => Both are plug to the same extension.
So, the ball sort of broken down. We don't see the electric lines in it anymore, it just blinks once instead of being fully on the whole time. So to our deduction the ball could have over heated, some circuit problem. So we contacted the person incharged for the ball and the fan. They were both suppose to be part of some tricks. So we told the person of the prob bla bla bla.. To his deduction, he said that we shouldn't have switched on the fan. He TOLD us not to switch the fan on when it is not being used ( like he did, no one heard a word ). And so due to switching on the fan the ball got broken down. Erm... hello.. I may not like much of electronics, but some simple knowledge or even common sense tells me that by switching on the fan does not have anything to do with the circuit of the ball. Okay prob to some extent the fan might draw some amount of current away but, that deduction of his was just too.. absurd i would say.
Electric ball broken because the fan was switched on. They were not even connected on the same plug. Geez.. such lame excuses he could actually think off. I totally don't see the logic behind it.. Zzz..

A tiring Merdeka weekend..

I saved a long post on my Sg trip but i think it's just way too crappy so I just scrap that post away and came up with this. However, Sg trip was great, visited NUS, NTU, seen some of their great stuffs, crashed at CY's place after splitting up with the group ( thx to him I had a great trip to Sg ), crashed at his club's steamboat ( met a bunch of cool n great ppl ), had supper with another group of his friends, met XinYu from Shanghai and she joined us touring around to lil India, went to some Japanese Festival ( sort of Bon Odori tat we have here ), met up with some exclassmates ( Chiet,Eeling,Shaun,QingZhuang ). It was great meeting up. I wish i could do that more often. Met up with the group on sun, went to botanical garden, caught in the rain, got back to malaysia at night, and reached back campus the next morning. Singapore was just fun.

Going back to M'sia

Last fri went over to penang to spend the merdeka weekend. Hmm. The merdeka spirit is just not really felt anymore. I guess it's not just me. Probably it's just not that big celebration this year. I went over to Png Island on fri evening and hanged out with Coat ( a thai exchange student ). He's flying of on the day after. So I hanged over with him, brought him around for early dinner, later had more dinner with his group of thai friends there in the main campus as a farewell dinner for him. At night Henry came over and we went for supper, crashed in with him in Bsuite. Sat morning we had breakfast before Henry left. I then sent Coat off at the airport later in the afternoon. I'll go visit him someday in Bangkok.

Me,coat and his friends

Agnes was suppose to reached in the evening but reached earlier than expected. Hang out at Eric's went Sakae for dinner and walk around Queensbay. Met up with her senior, Nini and CK at Kapitan and chatted till 1am. Stayed over at Nini's place.

Sun morning had breakfast at Greenlane and later went to Gurney plaza. Sales was all around. I can't believe it, I had a shopping spree again. 3shirts 2vests 5pairs of socks. Then went tesco shopped for some groceries to prepare sandwich for BBQ dinner that night. Had lots of food, stuffed for the night with fried bee hoon ( CK, Gwen ) our sandwich ( me, agn, ni, km, wy ) salad ( yc,serf ) drinks + accessories ( ky, st ) desert ( pp ), of course the chicken wings, sotong, potatoes etc ( eric, fm, wh, ivy, fong ). Everyone did their little bit and succesfully enjoyed the dinner. Later of course with that many ppl gathered together we went cc for 2rounds of dota. Went had a cup of tea before heading back to nini's. Reached back at 1am.

The whole gang

Mon was merdeka day. Happy Merdeka!! I hardly felt anything. I dun see much flag. I din't even heard the national song on that day. Woked up at 8, agnes' bus was suppose to be at 1030am. While having breakfast only she checked her tickets and found out that it was wrongly bought. It was on Tues ( the day after ). So yet another in Penang. Hanged around at home, on9 a bit, relaxed and rested, played with nini's niece. Such adorable and lovely. Went Sunshine to buy some stuffs and suppose to repair my about to tear of shoes but it cost like rm18 for the stiches. I wasn't willing to pay that amount of money and so i just bought Superglue and had the whole tube in it. rm3.50 and it did great holding my shoes together and got me safely back to campus. They had some icecream promotion there, everything was half priced. So we had a cone of 98% fat free icecream and a cup of 98% fat free yogurt ice blend. That was just so great and cost only rm3.10. I could just have more of that but was rather stuffed though. Head to queensbay for UP after dinner @kimgary. Nice food, great movie. The guys called up for another round of dota since we were still around. Reached back right at midnight.

isn't she lovely and adorable

Tues morning we woked up early, packed our stuff and waited for rapid to bring us to the bus station. To my surprise it just took us about 20mins to reach. Waited at the bus station till 10am then i had to head back to USM to take a shuttle back. And we both safely boarded the bus and headed back.

Next Mon's holiday again. I think for a few states , i'm not sure which but penang is one of them. So i'm considering of going home if there ain't much to do. *grins*

Gotta start kicking myself to start working before being kicked around.

Happy Merdeka Malaysia ( greetings from G hotel )
