Time for miracles.

And a miracle it was.

To those who know my Year 12 result, know that its indeed, a miracle.

More than just the overall ranking score itself, how I did in one particular subject stunned me, and others, more than anything else. Dwarfing all other just-as-worthy achievements impeccably.

It was something so unprecedented, so shocking, even, that it can be declared a miracle.


Anyway, now that results are done and dusted, time to get back to sleep and gaming all I can before the time of endless, sleepless nights torment me the rest of my life. For real.


And I'd appreciate any info on a PSP, its pricing, best deals, etc that you know of. Might have to switch gaming approach from heavy mainstream gaming to lite, quick-fix gaming, in light of aforementioned sleepless nights.

Some of you may actually know my REAL reason of getting a PSP....

supposing I even decide to get one.

I'm just considering, bummer.

Wonder how it'd feel like the day my gaming life ends.

Miserably.

That time of the year. Again.

Christmas dawns

The eve draws to a close and the day itself draws nigh

Christmas itself has different meaning to many people

For Christians and some curious people who know about it, its to celebrate the birth of Jesus roughly two thousand years ago.

For the others, its probably santa, his reindeers (or not) and multicoloured wrapped gifts, candies, sweets and of course, the warnings that come with being a naughty kid.

For those whose idea of Christmas is neither of the aforementioned two, its probably just another mundane day, where the cycle of survival continues.

Or something else I don't realise.

Anyhow for a random info I'm installing FIFA 10 while typing this.

Speaking of which my Christmas gifts were....(surprise SURPRISE)

Borderlands
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
Need for Speed Shift.
FIFA 10

Actually the last 3 were my brother's choices. Only Borderlands was personally requested. By yours truly.

I'll play all the others anyway. Cos they're decent games too. I suppose.

Soobs I sincerely, dearly hope you're right bout this game (Borderlands). If not....well, lets just say I might just take something straight out of a Nazi guidebook and run you through with it.

Just kidding.

In fact, I think it'd be better to lend you the game so we can both perhaps go at it together online which would be a helluva lot more fun than solo-ing.

Lets hope it works out.

Moving on...

Final Fantasy X was a great experience.

At time of writing this I've clocked in approximately 155 hours of gameplay in one playthrough

Although admittedly most of it went to ol' repetitive grinding.

Its rewarding anyhow.

And I've yet to be fully prepared for the ultimate boss of the game.

All goodgreat things must come to an end.

And so will my FF X run. In a few days time.

Damn I rambled on games for about nearly the whole of this post.

But thats all I did for my holidays

Cos I'm expecting next to zero time for games come varsity life.

So yeah happy gaming, shopping, partying, sleepover-ing, turkey feasting, and gift tearing to all of you.

And to fellow Christians lets just say Happy Birthday to Jesus

And cheers to AUSMAT results in 6 days.




Dammit...

A charade, I will not condone

Acceptance, an overrated facade.

Bonds,

born of charades,

acceptance as a facade,

held only by lies and deceit.

A false reality projected

But in reality, reeks of Nothingness.

In short,

I will not be where I am not wanted.

In between the lines

Same old thing everyday
So, Ausmat is over.
Play eat sleep play eat sleep.
Most of the Ausmat-ians seemed to have thought that this Ausmat year
I wonder if my brain will rot at a faster rate now than it did post-SPM
is one of the most enriching part of their lives,with close bonds and whatnot
Maybe I'll join them zombies in Dragon Age.
Nothing wrong with that.
Or what was it again...darkspawn? yeah. Darkspawn.
Just that Ausmat was basically just another year for me.
The tall ones, Hurlocks (not Horlicks) reminds me of the Locusts in Gears of War.
Could be that I never felt THAT welcome.
Or maybe the Stroggs in Quake IV
Or maybe its just me and my aversion for socialising of most sorts.
Quite cute, I must say.
Or maybe I just didn't care.
Though they're the last thing I want to see when I awake.
Does it matter?
Time to get more games though.
I know for a well known fact theres talk behind my back. Not nice ones, I'm sure.
Too bad Assassins Creed II for PC won't be out till early next year.
With all the polite charade. Like I'll fucking fall for it. And like I fucking care.
Bummer.
Thing is, Ausmat isn't such a big deal to me. Its over. Thats it. Its over-rated

Same goes for Mass Effect 2.
And that basically means I have little or nothing to do with most of you anymore.
I'm itching for those.
Not like any of you care. And neither would I.
Guess for the next round of games its gotta be Left4Dead 2, and Borderlands
Having said that, there are a few people who I'm glad to have known. Or known better.
Hope Soobs is right bout Borderlands
Sean, KX, Weng, Pat, Myron.
Actually he is right.
Maybe a few more. Just that I don't really know them well.
Sometimes.
Later, Ausmat. Not quite the year I hoped it would be.
I put aside my motion sickness with FPS games when it comes to COD 4, Left 4 Dead, and now COD 6.
I'm just waiting for the next, and the most unpredictable phase of life.
Hope I can do the same for Borderlands.
University.
Why do some awesome games just seem so near yet so far...

By flight. By wheels. By foot.

Today was...somewhat fulfilling but not something you'd say "fun"

2 flights in a day.

Walking non-stop for a total of....5 hours. In batches of 2 hours and 3 hours.

y'know, that basically covers all the exercise mum nagged me to get this whole holiday, in one day.

Worst of all.



No afternoon nap.

But of course I said its fulfilling.

I...

-Spread my wings and took flight for the first time after 4 years.

-Got an interview done and over with.

-FINALLY got a pendrive. FIRST ever. All this while I relied on....various bizarre means to get my files across.

-Of course...I exercised. Walking round Low Yat Plaza for a good 2 1/2 hours in KL, up and down the terminals, and in some parts of Subang. Of course if you noticed, not in chronological order, cos you can't really imagine that.





I"m tired. All the plane flights, bus rides, taxi rides, and of course, eXeRcIsE. No more blabbers.

Nights.

W for Willpower? NOT

I promised myself I'd blog more after TEE but it seems that its not happening eh?

Should you be surprised?

Am I surprised?

Are you?

Well, don't be.

No matter what I tell myself to do.

No matter what I Try to Force myself to do

No matter if mum&dad nags me to stop

No matter if I've been lacking in exercise.

Fact is.


I'm a gamer at heart.

Almost nothing else can displace that.

Well nothings absolute I would believe.

So its not Nothing but Almost nothing.

I'll never know what might displace it, or fail terribly in displacing it.

But there might be something

Or more.

But whatever, I've digressed.

Thing is I'm a gamer.

Or rather, more of a gamer than a blogger.

So there.

I'll still win the battle of wills every now and then.

But I lose most of the times



Byee!!

World of Nothingness

Ever since I broke free from the chains of bondage (I know its overdoing it but heck...) post 11/11, I finally, (officially) began my gaming spree.

I know today's 13/11 but just assume I'm talking like it was on 11/11. I just somehow didn't think of writing my Independence Speech on the Actual day of Independence. Sad, I know.

I actually spent that whole night revamping this blog. Who could've known being simple can take just as much effort as being complicated?

Anyway 11/11 ended just like most days.

Only with a bit of shouting.

A bit.

Cos not everyone from Ausmat have broken free yet.

Some ended Today. (Science w/ Econs combo)

Some end only on 19/11. (Science w/ Comp. Sc., OR business combo, which includes Comp Sc)

Poor buggers.

But amongst them is one who's gonna nab an ATAR(TER) (just treat that like an auzzie relative-ranking score) of 99.95.

Who's da mystery man?

Yes its a man.

And I'm not Sexist.

It just happened to be a man

Or is he?

If you're even half-observant you could've seen him being mentioned somewhere in this blog not-too-long ago.



Okay back to my life...if you can call it one.

I've been gaming most of the day. NOT including time spent on biological needs (eg. eating, loo-ing, sleeping) I spend probably 98% of the time on the comp. And it pisses my mum to no end. While my dad doesn't even give a damn, since exams are done and dusted.

But at least my mum cares. No sarcasm here. She does. Really.

Not to say dad doesn't. He cares too. Just in a different way.


Okay well some people seem to have qualms about my tendency to place gaming above all else.

But its what brought me to what I am today man.

Where the hell do you think my English came from? Stacks of hardcore literature? No offense to avid readers, just that for me, books put me to sleep, except a distinct, and highly exceptional few.

And few means Really few.

Point is.

I learned my English from games.

Not all games.

Those games I used to refer to as being "thickly filled with dialogue"

which I later realise to be RPG games. Usually.


Conclusion:
Gaming > most other things.

Most LAH.

If I Ever (I stress IF, and EVER) get a lover then it'll be.......

hmm.........



Gaming = Lover


That seems a bit presumptuous...

I guess that would mean I Already have a lover!




And if you somehow, didn't get it (you should have...but lets not assume) I meant gaming IS my lover.



As if you haven't already noticed it.





So happy holidays to those who are on holidays.
Happy studying to those about to take SPM
Happy completing exam to A-level people who have yet to complete their AS/modules (CIE or EdExcel)
And happy gaming to any gamer enjoying His/Her games now.

See. I'm NOT sexist.

Simplicity

I find I like the new look better

Its simpler.

Its sleek

Colour schemes a bit better than before, IMO.

The links are ONCE AGAIN in ALPHABETICAL ORDER after I was against it for...goodness knows how long

Even separated it according to gender. And no, I'm not sexist. No!

And No More Useless stuff. Eg. quiz, useless add on graphics, etc.
(I still gave credit to Blogger for powering the blog though. That isn't Useless.)

Just like the standard old fashioned blog

The only exception being that little Tweet Tweet on the upper right corner.

And the stylo pic to the left of it.

I finally understand Accessibility a lot better now. And how much it benefits mankind! (but more importantly, me!)



So to sum up the benefits of this makeover
-More orderly
-Bigger fonts where it matters
-Nicer colour scheme. If only marginally.
-Less unnecessary widgets/add ons = more attention to the content!
-Easier on the eyes.


Disadvantages? Hmm. Why don't you tell me.

Parting shot

Final exams in a month and I've got lots of ground to cover




So I'll bid adieu (temporarily) as I sort out this messy pile of shit.

From the man bound to get TER 99.95





Myren, its either you fock many prawns, or you fock one prawn, but many times. Which one is it?
-Sean Yap Zhi Yi, Ausmat 2009 @ SYCJB.
(again, correct me if I quoted wrongly. But its there or thereabouts.)











Good laugh, you prawn. =D

Epic.






and






Two you may have heard many times. The other, only if you ever played Halo 3, or at least know about it.




But those never fail to pump me up









and this is just enchanting

Day of the dead living

14th August, Friday

0400 hour.


Sunway JB day trip to Monash University Sunway campus, Sunway University College, and Sunway Pyramid.



Codename: Operation Phoenix Rising



-Information classified-




and the main point of the whole day, (and counting the day before, for all intents and purposes) was that I was awake for 31 consecutive hours beginning from 10 hours before departure of the bus. Or if you don't count a meagre and uncharacteristic 1 hour nap on the 13th, it'll be 41 hours since last period of full, restorative sleep (the 7-8 hours sort). I wish I knew why I couldn't sleep AT FUCKING ALL during a collective 9 hours of journey (to and fro). I could give a few hypothesis as to why such as:

-the soothing sound of the bus engines

-the one movie being played (on return trip, Apocalytpo, which I eventually just watched anyway, not bad show)

-mum calling me every few minutes on return trip

-someone spiked my drink with morphine



and of course, upon return to home sweet home, after cleaning up, and grabbing some antibiotics, I crashed to bed and said hello to lalaland for around 11 hours.



Thats talking about before AND after the trip, which I felt you guys wanted to know most.....or maybe not.






Now during the trip...


I got an emo guy sitting next to me.




Ok actually thats just Chew Sin Nah, a cute adorable little girl in Ausmat who, cos of hoodie + cap + artsy angle = slightly emo-ish shot.



Thought I'd might as well join her. Minus the artsy-ness.


At Monash.


"The" Bridge. Its that Iconic.



Empty lecture.


Business school. Failed in artsy attempt.

Monash's Library + Learning commons. Obviously a lot more stylo than Sunway JB. Cos its 11 years old this year.
If I'm not mistaken.




Too tired for more pics.






Only 3 pics from Sunway University...cos I was too tired to bother taking any thing else.


Sunway University College pal, bearded viking of old, and fellow blogger, Eric Chia.


AHAH!! Miss Pearly caught sleeping in a lecture. Tsktsktsk.
Can't blame your students if they fall asleep in your lecture, but not that they will =P



Pang + Me in front of Sunway University (College).
Artsy shot fail #2




@ Sunway Pyramid.
And the only highlight here is ice skating. And subway. Nothing else. I need a whole day at least to sniff every corner in Pyramid for f--ks sake.

Groupie pic. courtesy of Sin Nah.






KU JUN PYO!!! (Daniel Chan, "seated"), Tracy and Me. OUTSIDE the skating ring.

Daniel was re-tying his laces while Trace gave up on ice-skating for the meantime. I was just catching a breath and you can see how f-ed up I was. Bad hair too.




Subway. Eat fresh.



Subway. Eat fresh part 2.




Revolve your eyes around the circle 10 times. Thats how its like walking in Sunway Pyramid. For the first time anyway.




This....doesn't really mean....anything. Artsy shot EPIC FAIL. gahh!!!









So the conclusion is, I should just give up attempting artsy shots altogether =/

Alcoholic effect minus the alcohol

That pretty much describes Sunway College Masquerade Ball 09' =D













...at the end of it anyway.




Been a while since I last hit the dancefloor, and thats after a long hard day of "work"








and theres nothing like hitting the dancefloor with Julian firing it up at the epicentre =P





..and when he starts stripping. ahha!




and the ditzy lights gives the dance floor a "heroin-effect" where you go into mini trances and see flashes of movement every split second. sweet.




no pics. or lack of them anyway, thanks to "work". can always get the bulk of it later.






been feeling artsy this whole post, even if this amalgamation of words looks far from it.





and thats the end of one full night of denial, now I find deadlines hitting hard and fast.






damn.

Running In Phase

A trend that I've noticed of late is

Big names seem to be passing on at relatively high frequency of late.



MJ, Farah Fawcett, Yasmin, and now Sir Bobby. They share one thing in common in their deaths.

They all died due to a medical condition.

MJ - suspected drug abuse leading to cardiac arrest
Farah Fawcett - Anal cancer
Yasmin - stroke and hemorrhaging
Sir Bobby Robson - several cancers, the decisive one being lung cancer.






While its tragic that all these influential people had to pass on, one can't help but wonder











Who's next?

Friday, July 24, 2009

C - -

Todays been another freaking long day in life.





Classes - > Expo projects -> Moral exams -> more project modding.






Sean was really IMBA today

Discussing on teen pregnancy:
(words not 100% accurate, too tired to recall, but there or thereabouts. Sean, feel free to correct me)










Sean, Anu and I were discussing on an issue about a girl getting raped, being pregnant, and then thoughts of abortion, followed by our opinions whether we agree with abortion or not and why.( Just, don't ask why we're discussing about this.) And Sean comes up with this:









Sean : "For those who are pro-life, life begins at contraception......"



Me : "........you mean conception?"



Sean : "ahhhhhhh wtf wtf adfnrkjstbrkgbfeqrkkjd!!!!!"



Me and Anu: *LMAO*






and vivee decided to go on a killing spree









ok that pic was at the end of her rampage (supposedly on nick) cos my reaction was too slow, and she was real pissed when I took this. You can seriously kill a person with a brick. Or at least crush some limbs.








Got hold of weng's licence + IC


look at the IC!!!!




sooooooooooooooo cute!! muahahahahahahaha







Science Expo tomorrow. Sigh.





I know. No flow of ideas. I have failed Miss Thian (bio lecturer) again.

Suicidal

Math and Science back to Bahasa



















Malaysia's shooting their own foot ( Or rather, the foot of their future generation and "leaders") with this impeding reversal.


it was thanks to Maths & Science in English (I'll call it M&SiE from now on) that I got familiarised with all the terms and what-not in the Science world

it was thanks to M&SiE that I could express myself better (scientifically anyway, if not literally)

it was thanks to M&SiE that I got accustomed to the Sciences a lot better than if it were in Malay. Especially in the "transition year" that is Form 4.






and it was thanks to M&SiE, that I could survive in AUSMAT a lot better now. Its all English dammit.













I pity thee, o' future bearers of this flickering land.

Monday, July 6, 2009

Epic fail





















Yee Han....you're too IMBA.

Saturday, July 4, 2009

Untouchable.


Basically shows how retarded my msn inbox has become.








Then again, not a bad milestone, I suppose.

Silent, Screaming Death

I dunno why I'm doing this, but I just feel like doing this





Yeah, to the few in Ausmat M-chat, you'd have probably know what the heck I was talking about. Well here it is....not quite yet.


Actually, it wasn't really a game that crossed my mind at all when Ausmat Semester break started. I got GTA IV and Sims 3 (2 games, totally contrasting in nature) initially. But since GTA IV for some reason REFUSED to work on my comp (Sims 3 worked perfectly fine, thank goodness), I went back to the shop, and since GTA IV was 3 DVD (yes, games nowadays are getting fatter and fatter...) to swap it for Left 4 Dead (nice game, but its not the topic, and its only nice playing it with people) and....of course,



















DEAD SPACE.

A Sci-Fi survival horror game which pits you as an ordinary engineer sent in a team on a seemingly routine repaire mission on a planet cracker of a ship, only to find out almost everyone is dead, sent insane. And from a bunch of these human corpses, necromorphs (zombies, so to speak) are spawned out of the human husks. So, separated from your few surviving team members, you fight solo in dark, creepy atmosphere which....*takes deep breath*....









........... scares the fucking daylight out of your pathetic miserable stale life (thats how mines like, anyway) while you try to get your sorry ass out of that shithole of a ship while finding out some freaking conspiracy going on in the background while you're fending for your pathetic life amidst the bloody necromorphs.






*phew*





p.s This ain't copy pasted from a site. Its my own rendition of the gist of the storyline.







Okay, before I move on, I'll show you some..delightful scenes from the game..not my own pics...too busy being freaked to get any..










WARNING: TO SQUEAMISH ONES, DO NOT LOOK FURTHER LEST YOU PUKE BLOOD

ok you won't puke blood but oh well here goes.





















and another cute pic















All in a days work.


And a particularly interesting scene, if you'd like..















So there, a glimpse of what I HAVE to go through every freaking corner. And not to mention moments where I have to fight off a necromorph which regenerates when you blow off its limbs. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.







If any of you played Resident Evil: Nemesis, you'd probably have an idea of what its like
I never played any RE games, btw.









Will upload a video of it (Dead Space REGENERATOR a.k.a the Hunter) later. If I can find a good one. And if you even care to see it.



DISCLAIMER: Above pics and video are not mine, not from my playthrough, and nothing do with me. Its merely to give a general idea of how it looks and plays. TY.

Making up for lost time

Ausmat Evaluation Exam has ended a few days ago and I find that this sad space in the blogosphere has been left dilapidated for ages.

To catch up on very belated news.

#1
Transfer saga comes to an end.



Well, almost, but certain.


Cristiano Ronaldo finally moves to Real Madrid for 80 million pounds, a world record deal in what would seem like re-elected President Florentino Perez's next attempt to rebuild a galacticos team, having snapped up Kaka from AC Milan for 62 million pounds.

I suppose it was a matter of when, rather than if, Ronaldo will leave Man Utd, to satiate his never ending thirst for challenge and glory. In 2003 he was virtually unknown when he came to Man Utd from Sporting Lisbon, and now, he's worth 80 million pounds. Not a bad deal on a want-away star.


Lets just see how the new season shapes for Man Utd, minus Ronaldo. And likely plus a few new fresh faces...







#2
Kris won. Huh?

Yes. Its one of those hot topics that (at least at the time it occurred) basically dominated chats and conversations amongst quite a handful of my peers. Getting comments which goes something like...







"WTF?!!??!? KRIS WON?? DUMBF**K AMERICANS!!"







"AMERICA IS STUPID!!!"



Something like that.




Okay well I'll say first that both are good singers. Just that IMO Adam puts in more emotions and energy into his songs, compared to Kris, whereas Kris, to me, seems more of a ...hmm..sentimental kinda singer. But feel free to disagree.


But by talent alone, I still feel Adam should've nicked it. I don't see a problem with him being gay, as long as he keeps it to himself, and doesn't go round on a public rampage =="


And, as Daughtry has shown, you don't really need to win American Idol to be successful.




#3
How can we forget. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Evaluation Exam. Its definitely something with which we would compare our future results to. And a slight taste of the real thing which Ausmat-ians will face in mock exams, and then the real thing itself, the Tertiary Entrance Examination (TEE).


But suffice to say, it was a really disappointing effort. From EALD, to Applicable Maths, and the Science subjects, I never really felt I gave my best. Maybe one of which I felt so-so with my efforts would be Physics.

No use crying over spilt milk, as is often said. I just wanna waste this holidays (if you can call it one)

IMBA

Lets sum up a damn f***** up pretty stressful period of life in AUSMAT. To be depicted in the form of IMBA-ness.


IMBA-ness #1
Physics topic test 2 was too IMBA. Electric power. Basically the part of physics which I really detested in high school, from electric power right to electromagnetism and all that crap. (and my bro's a PhD in Electrical Engineering. zzzz)

Calculations and all were basically do-able in spite of the occasional blips and bumps. But the concepts, principles, comprehension question................lets just say theres more than a reason to retreat to my emo corner.

IMBA-ness #2
3 Applicable Maths assignment FTW. =.= 9+20+2 questions. Each with long long long descriptions and a), b), c), d) etc sub-questions. And I've started on.......none. Yay.

IMBA-ness #3
EALD assignment NO.3 was safely delivered with...love and care. Interview and documentary in 3 weeks! And we're not even done with assignment NO.2 yet. Sigh.







Thats all for the IMBA-ness series for this time of the year. More to come next time, definitely.






p.s. No idea what IMBA means? Ask me.

Monday, April 13, 2009

Somethings creeping up the sleeve...

The only reason I've hardly updated, seldom update, and will rarely update, is that I'm feeling the old old olddddd habit (read: gaming) creeping up again.

I don't think its so much until it'll severely affect studies....







...but it'll surely means less blog-o time.

Thats all.











kthxbye~

Defining moment



I'm Eu Vin. And yesterday was (definitely, for sure now) the longest day of my life.















Anyway, To make a reeeeaaaaallllllly long story short,




8.30am - 4.45pm : Final day of hospital attachment in HSA
4.45pm - 5.30pm : Commuting
5.45pm - 10.00pm : Sunway College JB Freshie's Nite






1) I'm dead tired. Period.
2) You don't know how immensely relieved I am.
3) Freshie's Nite was a blast! Even though it ended on a bit of an anti-climatic note.
4) Now comes JPA interview, a battle I'm doomed to perish in. zzzz.
5) My stress level is building. Below is a checklist to de-stress stress level. ( more will be added into the equation, of that there is no doubt)


a) Finish EALD "thesis"
b) Study Chemistry and Biology for their respective tests.
c) Complete hospital attachment
d) Make Freshie's Nite a blast
e) Get through JPA interview without looking like a dumbass, at the very least.
f) Catch up on every damn thing I missed during my 1 week absence from college. (yes, missing for one day hurts, but missing for one week is excruciating!)
g) find out what the heck "Moral" education is about. (since I was absent the recent week, remember?)








Useless trivia: March is about to end.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Oh. s.h.i.t.

On call tomorrow till 10pm.



















noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.



















p.s. I'm just an observer with SPM qualifications.

Sprinkles of pepper

Applicable Mathematics test ended. Anxiety in its purest form up to the very last second (and beyond, considering we all...ahem..exceeded the given time of 2 hours)

And I feel like I've just handed in a piece of crap, considering the mess made as a last ditch attempt to rectify any sort of potential dumbass silly errors. Just need 60 marks out of 120 to pass and stay in.

Or should I aim higher?


********************************************************

March intake peeps in SYCJB are in! As I predicted, more opted for A-levels than the other courses (or so it seemed, from my beautiful view at the AUSMAT counter, ideally situated next to the A-levels counter). Can't say I blame them. It gives them ample time to catch up with the syllabus and be settled before AS and AL comes about.

Didn't really check out the other courses, but it seemed healthy enough.

And Freshie's Nite tickets have (finally) sold like hot cakes! For the first time in a very bleak 1 1/2 months. You really gotta hand it to the March-y (I made that one up) people for their zest to live college life to the fullest, unlike some people...ahem.







Ah, yes, and for the AUSMAT March-y people.....honestly, I pity you guys. I pray your sanity won't be compromised.


*They MAY survive, although the probability of that would be less than 0.5, as mentioned by the Applicable Maths lecturer.

**Not to further intimidate those doing AUSMAT, but you know well not to doubt a Maths teacher when it comes to probability
***Still, how often do we listen to teachers anyway?

Of sleepless nights, esprit de corps, and serums of oestrogen

7th-8th March 2009.
Leadership Camp for SMK Pei Hwa (which is in Muar, not JB) held at Sunway College JB.
I was there as one of the facilitators.
I was suppose to blog bout this last week, but too busy.
Anyway here it is.
First and foremost, apologies for the disjointed "story". It'll be too wordy if I were to add too many words. Repeated apology at end of story.
Just let the pics do (most of) the talking.



Opening speech by Ms Wong.



Krithika + Laliitha


There were like, 10 groups of participants, with the groups named with countries from A-J.

1st group activity

Joan helping out the group


Joey punching Penny. Miss Jade trying to act cute. =P


2nd group activity, which involved a lot of strings. Messing them up.
And untangling them later.




Participants setting up their tents


They put me to shame. I can't even set up a tent.



Nicholas acting cute thinks he's a referee.
Well, he was. Sort of.


Balloon bursting telematch game, which involves
racing under tables....
