Ok la. That's all for this post. I shall play my newly bought game. Tata~

P/S: Cathy! I updated liao k! Don't tear my blog oh. Blekkk~

3 Months Honeymoon ^^

Yay! My final exams are finished! All my hard work and efforts are done for. Studied so damn much just for 2 papers. Had 2 completely sleepless nights since Tuesday night. The moment I tried to give myself a rest to lie down on bed, all the formulas came into my mind. It's like my body is completely dead(too tired) but my mind is still hyperactive.

My mind has gone into a different level where it's so active that I can't shut down my mind even when I sleep. It's like my mind has been constantly active for more than 2 days non-stop! I could have got sick, but thank God and luckily I did my best in my exams. When I took my nap, the formulas were still been actively playing in my mind though the exams are over already. But! Not to worry. I'll go back to my normal happy-go-lucky state very soon. I'll play tennis tommorrow! Must enjoy! It's my honeymoon! 3 months!

I'm gonna train my muscles and practice my yoga! Right now I can do a headstand! My aim is to be able to do a pumping handstand and one hand pumping! Ambitious? Well, let's start my Muscle-Man Program! I've got 3 months to train!

Is He/She Your Lifetime Partner?

Ever wonder will you spend the rest of your time with the person you are with now? Still hesitating whether that person is the right one for you? Everyone has their own way of thinking which type of person suits them the most. Lately, I came up with something and I wanna share with everyone.

Everyone will get married eventually. Life is not complete without a family and to have our own cute little babies. If I plan to spend the rest of my lifetime with a girl, she will be my children's mother and my children might be just like my wife whom I'm proud of. Believing that she is my other half, she can take good care of our family.

So, whether he/she is your lifetime partner or not, think of that person and ask yourself these two questions.

1) Will you want him/her to be your children's parent? Yes/No?

2) Will you want your child to be just like your partner? Yes/No?

Personally, I been thinking of a few girls and asked myself the two questions. Actually, it's not easy for me to find a girl that I can answer both YES. I take a girl as a comparison. She's actually my friend's gf xD but I admire her alot. I'm not gonna mention her name, obviously! :P

1) Will you want him/her to be your children's parent?
Yes, she can be my children's parent. She's a well organized girl and I believe she can take good care of the family, like what's she's doing for her bf and her family.

2) Will you want your child to be just like your partner?
Yes, but! She's kinda not active in sports. I want my children to be more active in sports and pick up musical instruments. However, I believe she would want the same and encourage our children to be active in sports and musics :)

If you can answer both Yes with minimal changes that you believe your partner can adapt to it, then she/he might be the right person for you.

However, if you answer either question a No, most probably that person might not be your life time partner.

Once, I knew a few girls and I know they can't be my lifetime partner. I clearly know that if I were to be with them, eventually we will go our separate ways. Having such thought, will I still go on and be in a relationship with her? Obviously, until now I chose not too. I'm too old for short term relationship xD

If I chose to be with her regardless of the future, I'm just being with her for the sake having someone. Human beings are weak. We need people to care for us and people for us to care for. However, knowing that the relationship will not last long I won't put effort into the relationship. Which explains why I can't be in a short term relationship.

We may have a few relationships before we find our soul mate. Every minute of our lives counts. If you can love a person for even only a day, you may choose to love and enjoy the very moment. But if you the person is not the right one for you to love, don't go further. You may make a decision that's more hurtful than happy.

Why Guys and Girls Are Different?

I was browsing through Cathy's older posts and I found this. Please allow me to quote. Hope you don't mind Cathy :) Here it is:

"Why girls get period pain?

and not guys? *because guys don't get period???=.="*

Why women have to bear the pain while giving birth?

and not men?

Why girls have to do all the house chores?

and not guys?

It's unfair, isn't it?

Guys are still being treated as man of the house.

whatever they say, we can only nod and still nod..

DISCRIMINATION *shakes head* "

~Cathy C.

There must be reasons why there are males and females in this world. It's a balance. Let me simplify the main behaviors of both males and females.

Males: strong and aggressive. good at single-tasking.

Females: gentle and sensitive. good at multitasking.

Guys can be a real jerk if they want to and girls can never be a jerk. A jerk is a person who is heartless, merciless, selfish, mean and self-centered. In this world, we need such "jerk" in order to survive. Guys sometimes can be so work-oriented that what they care about is winning and getting the results they want. They would do anything just to get what they want. Girls on the other hand, sees everything in a whole and usually makes decision that benefits everyone. Girls can never be mean human beings like guys does.

I always hear that girls can do multitasking and guys can only do one thing at a time. I can never talk on the phone and chat online at the same time. It's crazy. I wonder how the girls do that. The girls can remember even the slightest detail and guys tend to be forgetful. Yes, guys can be CEO of big corporates. But when you ask those CEOs to be housewives, they would need a chef for the cooking, a babysitter for the baby, an accountant for the bills, a cleaner for the laundry, a maid for the housekeeping, an architect for the furniture and it goes on. A housewife can take care all of these by themselves alone.

Males and Females stand equally in the society. Just that we usually see male faces in the top society doesn't mean that females are not doing their part. Secretaries are usually females right? They organize everything in an arranged manner so that their male bosses can handle those things one by one.

Guys can never be girls and girls can never be guys. So, don't keep asking your partner to be just like you. We are meant to be different so that we can do our part as a family.

So, to answer Cathy's question,

Why women have to bear the pain while giving birth?
Ans: If man were the only one to get pregnant, human would go extinct.

Why? Imagine a soccer fan watching his favorite player scores. Overjoyed, he shouts, jumps on the sofa up and down repeated, hugs his fellow buddies and CHEERS! Later on only he realize he's got a miscarriage yet again.

Why girls have to do all the house chores?
Ans: Guys would start destroying throwing everything instead of housekeeping it.

Male: Just throw it la, we can get a new one when we need it
Girls are more economical and would keep those old stuffs for future use
Female: "Keep the baby cage for our grandchildren"

Guys are still being treated as man of the house.
Ans: Guys can never be man of the house without a woman.

Guys are usually the main bread winner if not the sole one. Being focused on his job, he will need his spouse to take good care of the house.

In the end of the day, there's a saying -

Behind Every Great Man There's A Great Woman. Agree?

Except! Unless! In certain extreme, very extreme rare cases, where such powerful female does exist, then she would be able to be the woman of the house.

Here's a potential candidate:

Future Decision

I've been thinking of whether should I work outside Malacca when I graduate. I think I would choose to work in KL. There are just too many things out there that I want to explore. Should I leave Malacca? I know I'm used to leaving things behind. But Malacca?

Whenever I had long trimester holidays, I would miss Malacca life very much. Hanging out with my friends, going to class (yes, I enjoy the air-cond), tennis, and also get to know new female friends. It's been my long journey to get to know new girls and also to find my Miss Right. I know it wouldn't be easy for me as I'm very stubborn. I'm still learning to cope things and hopefully by meeting my Miss Right, I would be able to change myself to a better person.

Going to work outside won't be easy but it's worth to explore. I've been in Malacca for more than 3 years. Maybe my destiny isn't here? So when I pursue my destiny to KL I won't feel sad leaving Malacca? Hmm.. Maybe there would be a few persons I would always remember. But I always leave things behind and move forward. No matter how, I shall enjoy myself every moment I can.

Happy Mooncake and Lantern Festival!

It was a time I feel young again. Ah! Just too difficult to wake up and tell myself that I'm 24 and I'm very old already. Can't be like a kid anymore. But! During the lantern festival I felt young again, just for that moment though.

We had a small gathering at Mike Lau's house. We ate mooncake and walked around with lanterns. I don't know why Tami said I was so excited to play fire. It was fun, burning some stuffs. I burnt one plastic ballpen :) And I set candles around the house.

I set the candles and they set the lanterns.

Candles on the letter box

I wanted to be artistic in decorating the candles. So I set the candles in an artistic way, angled.

My artistically set-up candle (so proud). Behind is Tami's Myvi.



Artistic!!


This is my best candle set up. I'm bringing attraction to this very useful object.


The very useful object is actually a tong sampah :P

After we ate our moon cakes, we decided to walk with the lanterns. When setting up our lanterns, Xin Yi being so genius asked me to hold the bamboo stick and light it up. She then put hers and Su Peng's lantern on mine. Tumpang mine and they no need to take. But later on as we walk around, she took it and held it most of the time. It does feel nice to hold a lantern and walk around. And I held a small one. Never mind, be a gentlemen and let her take it lo :)

3 lanterns on a bamboo stick. I liked it alot!

Then, Mike Lau saw our 3 lanterns. He, as the host and being kia su doesn't want to lose. So he brought a longer stick and decorated it.

He got a mega long lantern!! O.O

The funniest part is when Fred drove his car and Mike Lau held the lantern outside. It was really funny.

Us walking back to Mike Lau's house

After walking around the small garden for 1 hour and 20 minutes, we finally reached home. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Walking halfway, when the candle goes out we have to reload and put a new candle. We accidentally burnt a few lanterns too. It was fun and enjoying accidents xD


Here are a few frame pics I took from the videos I took with my hp.

Su Peng on the left, Xin Yi in the middle and Tami on the right


All old guys and girls didn't mind holding lanterns.


Yee Wern posed by the lanterns. This pic is nice!


Kew Kuan posing with Fred's car.

In the end, we burnt our lanterns to set the end of our journey.

I had a fun time hanging out with my friends =)

MMU Closed 2008 Tennis Tournament

It was a very nice tournament. Kai Zhang has proved yet again he's the superman of MMU Tennis Club. Other players performed very well too. I am quite satisfied with my performance against Chong King though I lost 2-6 4-6. I'm happy I was able to return his kick serve. And later on after the match he gave me some advice on how to do kick serve. I'm gonna master the kick serve!

My mixed doubles partner, Marilyn. She was kind of blur during our first two matches. Should be because she's not used to playing with different opponents. But she played very well during our last match against champion pair Edwin & Myra. In the last match, she could drive both forehand and backhand. She ran for the balls and tried to hit all of them. Though we lost, we managed to get 4 points from the seeded 1. I'm really proud of her. Yee Wern was playing on the court beside us and saw how Marilyn played. She was very impressed too. Tami praised on Marilyn too.

It's my pride to train Marilyn and to see her perform well. Even though she still has lots of learn, she's picking up the momentum. I shall continue to train her and play match with her so that she'll improve faster.

Overall, the tournament was a great experience. Everyone enjoyed and had fun. We shall do it again next time.

Jonker Walk and Stadhuys

I've been living and studying in Malacca for 3 years. And I have never been to the Stayhuys before. Last weekend, we finally get to go there to have fun. It was a very happy weekend. All of us enjoyed ourselves. Here are the photos!

Jonker Walk is a nice place to hang around if the place isn't over crowded.

Let the match begins!

The singles match was very exciting. Both of them did very well. But Peter did not perform good enough to beat Kai Zhang. He was kind of impatient and tried to keep attacking. He end up making more mistakes and lost more points.

Peter made too many mistakes and he started to console himself.


Peter sweat so much he had to change shirt. Notice that Kai Zhang's shirt is totally soaked!

Kai Zhang's destructive Super Forehand!

Both of them went full force. Their match pushed to 3rd set tie breaker. Kai Zhang won the 1st set and Peter won the 2nd set. At the end, luck was at Kai Zhang's side and he won the 3rd set tie-breaker.

The match has ended. Kai Zhang won (7-5) (5-7) (10-7).

Peter has some regrets and he said his movement was very slow. He said wasn't at his top condition. Of course he wasn't at his top condition! On the day of the finals, he was watching Arsenal soccer until 2.30am and he play at 8am! How could he be on top form when having only 4 hours of sleep. And he complained of mosquito bites bothered his sleep. Bad excuse :P


Next Highlight is Doubles Finals!

Lobbing is one of the Tactics in Doubles!


Kai Zhang's Super Forehand saved the day yet again!

Both Kai Zhang and Mike Lau performed tremendously well. They mixed up their plays with hard strokes and occasional high lobs. Their opponents were very good too. However, they will need to do more to beat our MMU Doubles Champion! With Kai Zhang's Super Forehand and Mike Lau's Shear Determination, they won the match! It was a long match lasting around 2 hours. They won the match (7-5) (6-7) (10-5)


And now the prize giving!
