2010!!!

2010-01-03T00:19:00.003+08:00

Okay Okay. I didn't blog since half year ago. Great wasn't it? Now that I'm working it's not much different than studying lo... still single xD But the thing is, I'm improving myself.. my discipline, my experience and my KL driving skills.

In these 6 months of working, I think I'm learning to be more flexible and know how to do things the "Pro" way. Pro way as in I do what it is supposedly to be done, not the way I feel I like it.
Hmmmm... so far still not so good. But I'm beginning to face it seriously. I shall ACT PRO all the way to satisfy the people around me. Maybe..! Maybe..! If I keep on ACTing PRO, I will eventually get used to ACTing PRO? Would it be a good thing?

Yes. Definitely it will be a good thing.. to the extent that I can ACT PRO whenever I want. That's call PRO and Flexiblity.

The new Motto is "Act PRO to Please & Perform!" PPP!
I do have some good ideas hah. Let's put that into my work and start it in this new year.

Alright! Time to blog!

My first 2010 outing was at Mid Valley on 2nd Jan '10!

It was so difficult to find a carpark in Mid Valley compared to Sunway Pyramid(which I often go cuz it's nearest to me). I had to actually wait from a quiet spot and stalk people.

I had my lunch at the Taiwan Restaurant in Gardens. Can't really remember the name. Fong something. The food is really good. The taste is very "kiat" and yes, really fattening.
But it's okay to pamper yourself once in a while right. It tastes totally different compared to Western food. And the price is okay too, around RM20 for the set + RM7.80 for the dessert.
Altogether RM30... For RM30 you can go for Carl's Jr. too. Hmmm it's the dessert that's expensive ba.

And I bought a ciplak Bluetooth headset, RM55 nia. Hmmm.. the sound clarify is really not so good. Well, it's a good try for a 1st headset. I needed one to make phone call while driving. Ya, I tried, I can make phone call while looking at the GPS map. Not bad eh. Mayb a half year later I'll get a better one, the one with noise cancelling of course (around RM200).

Hmm.. it's 2.30am. Tommorow's activity will be "wash car" only in the afternoon. And lepak whole day. Right now I'm looking to get the Citibank Shell Credit Card & EON-GSC Credit Card. Will it be okay to get another 2 more cards? The Shell is more important to me, since I pump around RM200 per month, I can save 3.5% out of it, that is RM7. And for the GSC, I can save RM1 per RM10 ticket. Also, maybe I will be invited for special premier screening.. but how often? Mayb I should just get the Citibank Shell Card 1st then.

Till then! I miss my Malacca Girl Friends so much!!! =(

A Date With Marilyn & Sam

2009-06-03T00:09:00.008+08:00

On a bright sunny Sunday, me and my tennis club friends had our last lunch at a chicken rice ball shop at Batu Berendam. I already planned to bring the girls out after the lunch, but haven't decided where to go. After our lunch, a few of us discussed about where to go. Together, me, Mark, Kai Zhang and Choon Yee decided to go for bowling. Then all of us went home while I tell them when I'm ready.

I went home to take my car then off to fetch Marilyn. Picked her up at 3.20pm, then pick up Sam at Kampung Lapan and go all the way to fetch Choon Yee at Ujong Pasir just because he wanted to sit my car.

Precious Cuties at the back Sit!

While Keanu Reeves in front sit.

And Pro-In-Driving in Action xD

And so we reach MP at 4.20pm. It took me an hour to fetch them O.o Within an hour's drive I can reach Seremban. But nevermind, I had fun more than anything else.

At the bowling alley, all of us had fun. Both the youngest girls weren't shy to play along with us. They were having fun themselves too. Kai Zhang, Mark, Choon Yee and me played like competition and Su Peng just look at us playing.

Me & Choon Yee

I didn't expect that Choon Yee is actually so noob in bowling. After he pick up the ball, his footwork when walking at the bowling alley looks very weird, like not used to it. I just have to laugh at him, being a sportsman, cannot be noob ma xD

Pro In Action!

Cute In Action!

Top 2 Pros planning strategies to outwin each other.

Top 2 Pros in Action!

Pro-In-Dating at bowling alley ^^

After the bowling, all of us head separate ways. Choon Yee went to meet his gf at DP. Mark going home to find Tami. Kai Zhang and Su Peng had to go home earlier cause Su Peng need to catch the bus to KL for her training. All of them separate to meet their other half, left three of us to have fun.

We went to DP for shopping. Marilyn wants to buy something at PDI using her birthday coupon. It was fun shopping with them. Probably because they are close to me.In the end, Marilyn bought a jeans jacket top. It's a very nice one.

After that, we headed to Oldtown Coffee for our dinner.

Lyn & Me

Me & Sammy

They are very nice to me. Most of the time, I took pics with either one of them. Probably because I'm leaving Malacca and we missing each other already. During our dinner, we were thinking where shall we go for one more stop before we head home.

After a short discussion, off we go to the Eye of Malaysia!

Permata Dunia!

Me & Marilyn (notice the hand xD)

Me & Samantha (notice the hand too xD)

Sam with peace at the top!

This is the Malacca scenery you get from the top!

This is the lovely couple you get from the top!

And this is the Cuties you get from the top!

After 4 rounds of turning up and down, we ended the journey of the day. I sent Sam back to her house. At the outside of her house, me & Lyn waited in the car. Sam's dad came to open the door and stared fiercely at us. Her dad is so protective. But nice enough to let me date her daughter xD

Then, we headed back to Marilyn's house. We hugged each other before we bid farewell.

THEN! The next day I went to see her again just before I drive back to Seremban. Cause I missed her too much, wanted to see her! Haha. Actually it's because I wanted to take the pics we took last nite. I can't wait to see the pics. I went to her house and entered her house while she copy the pics into my pendrive.

Her mum talked to me and I responded kinda well. Marilyn told her mum before that I'm her tennis coach and I think her mum knows about me. Then at one point, her mum said to me "Try to keep in touch with her". Oh... It sounded like aunty likes me. And I got potential ^^

Before I drive away, I hugged Marilyn once again, missing her so much. And so, with this feeling, I left Malacca. I must say, it worth everything to be in Malacca =)

I miss them very very much! They are one of the reasons I miss Malacca so much! I shall come back to bring the girls out again :)

The Last Few Moments

2009-05-14T03:12:00.002+08:00

The story is coming to the end, finally. Right now, I just have to buy 2 tickets to pass my 2 subjects and I'm finally going to graduate. By the end of this month, I'm set to enter a new horizon. To many people, almost everyone, going to work from studying only sees it as "I have to work, it's more pressure". To me, it's different. The transition to work from studying is ALOT!

Going to work means I would no longer have to stay in this noisy, dirty, and smelly apartment! My block faces the rubbish directly opposite. Imagine the scent you get every time the Juice Quencher Lorry in action. My room gets the afternoon direct sunlight. It's really hot and annoying. Next time when I choose a room to stay, I would bring along my compass to evaluate the room's fong shui.

I would have my own car to drive around. I miss my silver Wira. I love driving it. And working means I get to drive around using my own expenses. I would drive anywhere, anytime to find the friends I want.

With the money I earn, it's about saving it and have a whole lot more of opportunities. Invest in business? Property? Or just simply spend it.

I've been planning and dreaming of myself working. Finally, the time is coming soon. You might think I'm hoping too much and keep daydreaming. Well, at least I have hopes in my life. I have dreams to achieve. I've got a plan. Do you?

A Date with Marilyn

2009-04-05T15:33:00.003+08:00

How would the date be if I were to date a girl younger than me by 7 years? I was wondering if we could get along. Anyway, I was about to find out.

Initially, I wanted to watch Fast & Furious 4 with my friends and I invited them to watch. But most of them couldn't make it. Marilyn on the other hand, she spontaneously agreed to watch with me. We were supposed to go out long time ago and we didn't have the time. So she was very happy when we finally get to go out together.

I must say, she's a very special girl for her age, at least to me. Think about it. She has yet to turn 18 and I'm going 25 this year. A big gap. Maybe it's tennis that gets us along. Since she know most of my friends through tennis club, I could talk to her about my friends.

Marilyn is fun to get along. I feel comfortable walking with her. Her walking pace is just right and somehow it feels easy to walk beside her. Maybe because we already know each other for quite long. Come to think about it, when I walk with my other girl friends like Tami, Su Peng, Wen Nee or Yee Wern, I can walk while talking to them freely. Probably is that we are used to each other.

I always think that it's a challenge to walk side by side with a girl friend in crowded places like Jonker Walk. Without holding hands, the girl would always slip through in front before me. Marilyn was courteous to always keep her pace right for me to follow.

I had a date with a girl that she tends to walk a little too fast. So keeping up with her was not so comfortable. At a moment, I thought of just grab her palm and stand still. She's the kind that like to walk fast and glance to shop around. Me, the kind of enjoying the stroll with my companion. Marilyn is the same kind.

It was a fun night hanging out with Marilyn. Though she's much younger than me, it doesn't stop us from enjoying the movie, chit chat about our tennis club, the Redang trip, her dancing experiences and her Korean songs. Oh ya, and her turtle CD case which I love so much.

Here's a photo we took inside the shop where we had our dinner.

I feel I look younger with her around, maybe 21 xD

Trip to Genting!

2009-03-17T00:22:00.003+08:00

Outing With My Friends on 28th Feb 2009

2009-03-01T01:47:00.014+08:00

It's Fred's birthday celebration and we went to Sing K at Dreambox in DP. The singing sessions was quite fun. I duet sang a few songs with Wen Nee, most of which are girls' songs. I shall say we sang quite well xD

Me & Neng at Dreambox

Wen Nee & Fred

After Sing K, we went over to MP for buy our skin care products. Yes, ME! Me buying skin care products. So happy that Wen Nee accompany me to enter the Skin Food shop. I bought a Peach Sake Toner and Peppermint Mask. The Peach Sake is RM50 and the Mask is RM28. Just tried out the Peach Sake. It smells really good, but when applying, it doesn't feel very smooth. Means I'll need to put more on the cotton to rub around. Not cheap, but I like the smell and the bottle. It's made of glass. Shall try the mask later.

We had our dinner at KFC and for the first time, I ate 5 pieces of chicken. 3 pieces of breast, 1 chicken wing and 1 drumstick. Felt quite full and enjoyed it.

After our dinner we joined the others at Jonker. We planned to have some group photo sessions but it started to rain.

Tami - Tian Mi Mi with the umbrella.

So we headed to have our yumcha session at the Old Town Coffee at CIMB bank.

Terrence from Gem of Life.

Again, our yumcha session is filled with so much joy and laughter. I really enjoyed everytime we gather together and chat. Our conversations are never ending.

Our drinks.

Mark testing camera.

Kew Kuan & Yee Wern

Su Peng is the spotlight of the night. She's the only girl to wear a dress. When we meet up at jonker she was so happy that she finally got a chance to wear the dress. I say she look very nice in the dress. Hence~! I took lots of pics of her using Kew Kuan's Nikon. Hehe.

Feeling Emptiness.

Focusing onto something.

Sipping the drink.

Again, feeling emptiness.

Happy and smiling.

Fred posing ^.^V

Together we share so much joy and fun. I shall miss my tennis friends always!

Tennis Runs In Our Blood

2009-02-23T20:47:00.006+08:00

I started playing tennis after I entered MMU for half a year. Tennis itself has changed my entire life. The friends I mix with, the activities and the places I go are all influenced by my tennis friends.

We grow together as friends for years in university. We have meetings together, play tennis together, have meals together and go on trips together.

We enjoy and play tennis seriously.

Tennis and friendship comes together.

We have the same aim and vision. To improve and to win.

The joy, the pain, the victory or defeat, we share together.

We are all bonded together by tennis. Tennis runs in our blood.

Valentine's Day in Malacca Town

2009-02-14T02:09:00.008+08:00

I've never celebrated Valentine's Day in my life until this year. It did not occur to me that I might have a date for Valentine's Day. It was around 3pm and Constance chat with me online asking me for a jogging session. Without thinking too much, I agreed. Then I had to turn down my friends for tennis session. Ahh.. Constance comes first k!

Evening Jog
She picked me up at 5pm and went to Hutan Rekreasi Malacca. My first time jogging there. We started warming up by walking and having short chats and then jogged. This is when the trouble comes. She can actually jog! She jogged in the front and I followed behind. On the first round, I almost wanted to stop moving my legs. At last, we finished one round and she slowed down to catch a breath. I was choking already but I acted pro and tried to catch my breath slowly. Luckily, we finished jogging without me fainting and embarrassing myself. After 45mins of jogging combined with walking, we are set to go home, bathe, change and go for dinner in town.

Dinner at Jonker Walk
We had our dinner at a Baba shop (didn't notice the shop's name xD). After dinner, we walked around at Jonker and she was looking for a hair clip. When she finally found the hair clip she wants, I offered to get it for her as a Valentine's Day present. At first she refused, saying that she doesn't simply receive present from people. So, I, being a pro gentleman, tried and tried and finally succeeded to persuade her and she accepted my present happily. Success! ^^

There was at a moment that she started feeling more comfortable talking with me. I think it's when we started take photos. She was very happy when I took nice photos of her. I'm glad that I'm quite good in taking photos.

This is the first pic I took of her. Sitting at Stayhuds. I like her pose, very stylish.

Another pose.

Smile! She looks happy, right? ^^

Looking cool and good!

Somehow this pic looks like a cut and paste. But it does capture the scenery quite well though.

And this is the picture of the day. Both me and Constance thinks so.
Constance with a sweet smile and a serene background of the night life in Malacca streets.

After some photo sessions at the Stadhuys, we walked over to the river side. We sat down and talked. I really like the atmosphere. Never had such nice feeling before.

The breeze of the wind, the brightness of the moonlight, and most importantly the presence of Constance and her gentle, serene voice. It's a feeling that I gonna treasure forever.

Then, we went to the jetty and had a drink at Bali Cafe. It was quite noisy inside so we couldn't talk much.

The lighting was bright so the pics were clearer.

Constance with her Carrot Milk drink.

At around 11.30pm, we headed back home. I wondered if we could wait till 12am to Valentine's Day so that I can wish her in person. But she was tired already.

Last year, when I went out with her, I asked if she liked going out with me. Her answer was a little hesitant saying "Ok ah".

This time. When I asked her if she's happy going out with me. She looked at me with a big sweet smile saying "I'm really happy".

Having such expression from her, it is indeed the best moment in my life. And no doubt it is the best date ever. Compared to my other dates, dating with Constance is much happier and memorable in many ways. Why? Because, she is Constance. It's her that make the difference.

I'm truly happy that I could have this memorable night. A night that I never imagined I could have. Let's hope that there are more happy moments to come :)

Chap Goh Mei

2009-02-11T11:04:00.004+08:00

On Chap Goh Mei night, we went to Bei Zhan at Melaka Raya to have a nice dinner. It is my first time eating at Bei Zhan. We ordered 4 dishes - chicken something, prawn salad, pork something and green veges (I'm bad in remembering dishes' name).

Pro Gentleman :D

At least I know the dessert cause I like it. It's a vanilla ice cream with tau fu fa at the bottom. Real yummy. Must try. RM2.30.

A dinner at RM18.00 per person. Not too expensive and I enjoyed the environment. However, more pretty girls would be nicer ^^

Missing Malacca 2

2009-02-11T10:59:00.002+08:00

2009-02-08T23:53:00.002+08:00

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

3 Months Honeymoon ^^

2008-10-10T02:33:00.003+08:00

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?

2008-10-02T03:50:00.000+08:00

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?

2008-09-29T19:15:00.004+08:00

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

2008-09-22T00:59:00.003+08:00

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!

2008-09-14T02:34:00.006+08:00

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

2008-09-08T14:36:00.002+08:00

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

2008-08-30T02:50:00.011+08:00

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.

Malacca Closed 2008 Finals

2008-08-25T21:25:00.016+08:00

The Highlights of the Tournament Finals:

Singles Final - Peter Choo vs Foo Kai Zhang!
Doubles Final - Mike Lau & Kai Zhang vs Saiful Brothers!

Let's look at the singles finals first!

Introducing... The Challenger - Peter Choo!

The Depending Champion - Foo Kai Zhang!

The Pro Cameraman - Mr. Pro!
Okay. I know it has nothing to do with the players :P

The supporters from MMU (Peter supports himself of course)

Posers Neng, Kew Kuan and Peter

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!

Peter focusing for next game

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!

Mike Lau in action!

The Pro Spectators!

Mike Lau's Shear Determination!

Chemistry is the Key to win in Doubles!

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!

Wilson K[Factor] Pro Tour Tennis Bags!

Singles 1st Runner-Up - Peter Choo!

Singles Champion - Kai Zhang!

Doubles 1st Runner-Up - Saiful Brothers!

Doubles Champion - Kai Zhang and Mike Lau!

In the end, the MMU Players grabbed the champions spot once again! Kai Zhang won the Doubles and Singles event just like he did last year. He's truly the best in Malacca yet!

Malacca Closed 2008 Tennis Tournament

2008-08-20T17:36:00.009+08:00

The Malacca Closed was held on Saturday 16th August at the Ayer Keroh Tennis Courts (near MITC). I participated the Singles and Doubles event. I was quite satisfied with my own performance. I found my weaknesses and I will keep improving (my forehand cross-court and my volley).

These are the pictures taken on Saturday and Sunday.

The Players and the High Committees

There will be doubles semi-final, doubles final and singles final this Saturday. All of us will be there to support Kai Zhang, Mike Lau and Peter! The most anticipated match is the singles final between Kai Zhang and Peter. They are our best MMU singles players ever (though Peter has graduated). Another highly anticipated match is the doubles final of pair Kai Zhang & Mike Lau. Let's whack 'em and let MMU be the champion once again!

It's drinking time! But we didn't drink alot that night though.

Love the cheese hotdogs! yum yum!

Celebrated Mike Lau's be-earlied birthday. The cheese chocolate cake was very nice.

Happy Birthday to Mike Lau!

MMUTC BBQ Session

2008-08-02T03:39:00.002+08:00

Just back from the BBQ session. Didn't eat alot this time. Was late abit and missed the pork meatballs! Argh! And too little cheese hotdogs T.T Wait a minute. I only ate 1 piece of lamb. 1?? Last semester I ate so so many pieces eh, with barbarian Andrew. Hahaha. Eh no no. I ate only half a piece of lamb leh. Shared the other half with Marilyn. Hmmm. No wonder I ate so little. After the eating session, as usual we had drinking session. Didn't drink alot though but Mike Lau already KO-ed by the time I leave the place. Nyet nyet nyet nyet.

Tomorrow will be coaching Marilyn for the 3rd time. I'm still thinking how should I proceed to teach her. Mastering basics? Learn special skills(e.g slice)? Running shots? Master forehand only? Can't make up my mind yet. For now, what I can think of is we start with mini tennis then more run around and return shots from me - backhand and forehand. Then I will proceed to teach her the "pro" swings of forehand and backhand. *feel so pro*

During midterm break - go back Seremban, eat eat eat, tv tv tv. And....... I miss my black and white keys.... My PIANO! The Entertainer, Wedding March, Waltz in A Flat, Ballade Pour Adeline, Marriage D'amour - Here I come! ^^

The Best Sleeping Pose

2008-07-26T03:11:00.006+08:00

Everyone has their own sleeping pose. I used to have a roommate. He can fall asleep at one pose and then wake up the next day on the very same pose! He has incredible sleeping discipline. I on the other hand... I admit that I have very bad sleeping pose. I keep moving around when I'm sleeping. Even before I fall asleep, I had to keep adjusting myself to get the best pose. As of today, I felt I'm getting easier to fall asleep :) But I still have difficultly waking up :(

Then, I used to have another roommate, and I like to take his sleeping pics. No, I'm not gay. But his poses are just so nice it's so tempting to take them.

Here are some of his sleeping pics which I kept them for years already.

The Super-Hero Pose. I can't remember why he has his towel around his neck. But it looks so cool sleeping that way.

The Seriously-injured Pose! Main reason with his towel - to cover the bright lights. I was playing games :P

The Waltz-dancing pose! Well, it's a natural pose. He just happened to rest his arm on the wall.

The Kick-boxing pose! I like this pose da most. Just looking at his pose you'll feel like getting into a serious fight on the ring.

Lastly, here's the cutest sleeping pose:

He's so cute ain't he :)

My Hairstyles

2008-05-10T23:40:00.000+08:00

I've always taken extra care of my hairstyles than any other guys ever since I was in secondary. But I was always stucked with the old Indian barber that my dad brings me to have my haircut *sob* sob* Everytime I get to let my hair grow long enough I would look nice and then it's haircut time again. After every haircut I'll ended up like Aaron Kwok's early 90s style.

Me and my old friends from my college before I enter MMU. This is the haircut by the the Indian barber. You're not laughing right? Of course not. Cuz I was just so~~ cute! Which is me? 2nd from left la. The cutest one.

Years gone by. And soon I enter MMU.

I entered MMU with this hairstyle. My housemates laughed at me without mercy. But they were very nice and they took me to have a 'real' haircut.

TA-DA! A decent haircut from a Chinese lady. They call it SPIKE! It was the first time I heard it back then. I knew I was really out la. So paiseh.

After some time, it's time for improvement.

The best way to make your hair more good looking is having your hair dyed. For girls, maybe some perming or digital perm or wavy perm or ... Never mind about girls. I'm now talking about mine.

This is how the hair looks like the next day. Doesn't look too nice right? Well, let's wait a few weeks.

It turns out to be very nice. I liked the colour very much ^^

COOL! My hair grew longer and the dye itself is strong enough to keep my hair standing without the need of wax/muse/gel. It's natural stand. I liked this style the most besides the Dragon Ball style. What Dragon Ball? You'll know later.

Another few weeks later...

The new grown hair is getting obvious and the colour is fading.

Soon, my hair has grown too long and it's time for haircut again.

This time, I decided to make it big time! A real big time! I decided to go for a professional haircut and hair dye with highlighting. I opted for Team Hair Studio located at Melaka Raya.

My stylist applying the dye. The colour of the dye is Coffee. Nice name eh.

Then it's highligthing. Waited for hours. Wash wash. Then it's camwhoring session.

I AM DRAGON BALL!

I really miss this hair colour. It was so outstanding and fancy and flashy! I could do so many nice poses with that hair colour.

Looks cool even just sitting on an office chair

Playing the piano with this hairstyle makes the it look even more cool!

If I had the chance I would go for tat professional hair dye again. But it cost me RM180 for that. Wait till I got the extra money ya.

Here's a conclusion photo of my past hair dyes.

^.^

K for Karaoke. Let's Sing K!

2008-05-06T22:13:00.000+08:00

Singing K isn't really my interest but I remembered I really enjoyed my Sing K session the last time. This is my 2nd time singing K. It was really fun. With all the sings, laughs, shouts, yells and eventually screams. Yeah! SCREAMS! I screamed till my voice was broken I couldn't sing low tone voice later on. I thought that's the idea of Sing K right?

TTT: Wah lau! Who picked Aero Smith's song? Who can sing la? *deleted song from playlist*

Then I was like T_T

I wanted to sing that song! So later on I secretly picked the song again.

And it ended up...

TTT's the one that open his mouth the biggest while screaming!

Mike Lau, Me, TTT and Neng

Neng: Nyahhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~ (I AM AERO SMITH!)

We were literally screaming all the way while singing I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. So excited that we had to stand on the sofa and scream our lungs out. Now that is what I call Sing K!

Well, we didn't went Sing K just to scream. We were really singing, especially our young-at-heart friend, Frederick.

Fred singing a "song". That is if you call that a song xD

Time passed so fast and without realizing it we already spent 5 hours in the room. Time does pass very fast when you are really enjoying yourself.

It was an enjoyable day. We really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone get to sing/scream. I particularly enjoying myself throughout the singing... erm.. screaming session ^.^

My Beloved Housemate

2008-05-05T00:21:00.000+08:00

It's been three year since I stay under one roof with her. Back then, I just entered MMU at Malacca. Without realizing it, time has passed and we'll be celebrating our three years housemate anniversary by the end of next month. Thinking back, there were lots of memories.

Me and my all-time-house-mate Tami

Tami's 21st Birthday at our first house at Taman Bunga Raya
P/S: Don't I look cute back then? xD

Our 2nd house, University Green Apartment

Tami's 22nd Birthday at University Green Apartment

She got 2 Secret Recipe cakes for her 22nd birthday! So envy!

Currently we're staying at Bukit Beruang Permai Apartment. We'll be staying here for another year. That means we'll be staying under one roof from the day we enter MMU till the day I graduate. For a uni student, there's nothing better than finding a suitable housemate to stay together. For my part, it has been a nice ride staying with Tami. Cheers my housemate for we'll celebrating our three-year-anniversary soon!

Dedication To A Special Friend

2008-05-04T02:24:00.000+08:00

She's energetic. She's lively. She's supportive. I just get to know her recently. Though I am yet to meet her in person, I can feel that she's a nice friend. After all, she was the one that gave me the courage and mood to start blogging. It was her that I felt blogging has some meaning in it.

It was quite a long time ago when I enjoyed reading blogs. Then I bump upon reading her blog. I was very touched and moved by the way she describe her own chapters of life. I actually felt very sad to read about the sad part of her life. She's a strong girl and I know she can go through it. I believe that one day she will shine again and make the people around her happy.

She's a friend that I look forward to meet in person someday. I will definitely have fun hanging around with her. Till then, stay strong always and wish you all the best for your upcoming tests and exams!

A Classic Date

2007-06-08T09:45:00.000+08:00

It was raining heavily outside. The clock just ticked showing 2 o’clock. I had just booked 2 tickets for Shrek 3. I would be picking her up at 3.30. I prayed hard the rain would stop by then. Later on, I received a SMS from her and she asked to pick her up a little bit later as she had something on. I called her at 4 and she was ready. So I went to pick her up.

Finding her house for the first time was easy. Just a few turns from the main road and there was her house. As soon as I reached her house, she walked out and entered my car. I must say that I was very impressed with her dress up. Long straight black hair paired with a low cut black spaghetti top. She looked very fair and elegant. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a slightly heeled slipper. As for her makeup, she had a slight foundation powdered evenly on the entire face, light blue eye shadow, and drew her mascara and a pair of black iris contact lens. The part that I liked most was her glossy sweet pink lipstick. It wasn’t really pink color but I liked it anyway as the color looked very sweet.

We talked all the time while we were on our way to the shopping complex. I was so immersed into our conversation I felt as though the car was driving by itself. We did not stop talking even more than a minute. When we reached the complex, we continued our conversation even when we were walking inside. I felt as though as our conversation will never come to an end. Eventually, we halt our conversation when we entered the cinema. I was quite focused to the movie and I laughed a lot. My partner on my left laughed occasionally and she liked the part where the baby Ogre appeared on the screen.

After the movie, I treated her dinner at The Egg House. I chose the place as it was quite tidy and not crowded (actually there were just two of us). The food there was not too bad. We chit-chatted a lot; recalling about our university and the times during our secondary school. We enjoyed our conversation. Time flew by and it was time for me to send her home. I talked with her all the way back to her home. Before I realize it, we were already in front of her house. She thanked me before leaving and there was it; my date, my classic date.

The date went smoothly. There wasn’t any hiccup or silent moment. I really enjoyed the date. I’m proud that she gave me the privilege to decide things and to treat her. From my previous dates, some of the girls wouldn’t let me treat them. As for her, she stood gracefully by my side as I get the tickets for our movie. It’s a guy’s pride to be able to date and treat a girl. That’s how I felt when I dated this girl-friend. The best part of all is when she said she enjoyed herself and thanked me. To make up a date is never easy. The guy has to plan, to pick up the girl and treat the girl. However, the feeling you get when you please your date is priceless. This is what I call, a classic date.
