Bali Island Trip and Big Day for my SIS

It's been long enough since I've neglected my blog..I keep telling myself I will update after my exam. It seems the efforts was futile as I am addicted to my PS2 once I got a hold on it. So, I will sum up all the things i did during this semester break.
The first significant event of my entire holidays was the trip to Bali Island where my 3rd Sis held her marriage.This was nt 1st time to travel on plane after my last tour to Shanghai which was 4 years ago... The journey took around 4hours to reach Bali from KLIA .

( Yes that's rite I took pic in the plane secretly without the flying attendant's notice =D)

So when we reached Denpasar - Bali Airport, we went straight to the villa where we are going to stay overnight and also the marriage venue..On our way, we chat with the driver hired from the Villa Bidadari....To be honest , he is one funny guy...from the way he behaved to the way he laughed...resemble one of my friend from Sunway, Raditya..So here are some pics to describe the place fully...(Let the pictures do the speaking)


(I am in the middle of the swimming pool half-naked)
The wedding ceremony started at 5.30 p.m. where the spouses walked on the red carpet towards the priest who's ready to begin the day at any minute. As they walk, each of us stood up row by row making up a motion of waves and applauses were then given. As the priest began to speak , everyone gave their undivided attention to the sophisticated speech and beautiful poem presented by the priest. The calm environment turned into an agitative when the bride exchange the ring and kissed. Without much delay, the party started. Buffet meals were served with champagne, red-wine and beer. The rules are, those age who reach above 18 must drink. Not binge drinking at least. I slept quite early that day as I was on the verge of inebriated.

-The upheaval moment with utmost hullabaloo-
The next day, my brother brought us to Waterbom Park in Kuta. Only me,my sis,him and his girlfriend.The others went on sightseeing somewhere else. The entrance fee for the park is approximately RM80 per person. Once inside, the view was fabulous and the place was twice as big as Sunway Lagoon. The ride was so addictive that it feels like I was on a roller-coaster itself. We departed to the nearest beach before returning to villa. My sis and I went back home on the next day by Airasia.


Added note : My Playstation2 had just reached it's limit recently(2005-2009). Thus, this blog exists.

Shin Megami Tensei : Persona 3

This post is only direct to those who are interest in games...Lately, i spent my entire semester break in playing PS2 games...It was Silent Hill Origins and Silent Hill 2...which is really a terrific and horrifying games if play at midnight...i am not talking about scary here but u'll never imagine when the thing will appeared and the environment in the game is too dense to desribe... However, it's merely the horror elements used to get rid of my boredom..

Until recently, i stumble across a very typical game, Shin Megami Tensei : Persona 3 which is so much different from any other RPGs...It earns several gaming awards in 2007 and rated as the best game of 2007 in gamespot...It contains manga visual elements , unlike any other RPGs which is in 3D simulation...though the graphic do not appeared to have stunning effects, it was still considered one of the best games i've played as long as the storyline and the gameplay are splendid..The game is also quite lenghty as i spent almost 70hours to complete the game - the longest game i've ever played in my life...even surpassed Final Fantasy series

(SEES - Specialized Extracircular Execution Squad From Gekkoukan High)

It also includes dating simulations system in which the player are progressed through day by day mainly in school, making friends and building romantic relationships...The player are required to listen through the lessons and lectures in the class as not only to increase the personal stats but also can gain additional knowledge since the lessons are based on the topics covered in highschool or of higher educational level...But what really attracts to me was the well formed dialogue and it contains proper english usage which lives up to it's high standard... Besides,like any other games, the battle works on turn-based systems and the partners fight and support each other without the player control..

The story revolves around a group of highschoolers in Gekkoukan High with special abilities and able to call forth the Persona to hunt down the Shadows which emerge during the DARK HOUR,time that exist between 12.ooam-12.01am...During that particular time, the "ordinary" people are transmogrified , making them unaware the existence of Dark Hour...The personal power are also judge by how well the protagonist's relationship and friendships...Which means, he had to build social links at school in order to improve his Persona performance.. The type of social links are mainly based upon the Arcana tarots cards such as The Fool, The Strength , The Lovers and etc..

The main story,"The Journey" was the origin game in Persona 3...Not long after Persona 3, an expansion pack known as Persona 3 FES with an additional chapter , "The Answer" set in the aftermath of the original game which added a total extra of 30hours.. There are actually two endings in the original game , the bad ending and the good ending... Both can be achieved based on the player decision on whether to kill the 13th Shadow (incarnation of "Death") who is appeared to be human and bear the responsibility to usher the the descendant of the final boss.

Second Sem Result!

Never imagined i would have led a boring life ever since i came back to home though home bed is the sweetest~ Generally, I spent most of my time sitting in front of PS2 like a statue, killing time while enjoying myself in a fully comfortable room...perhaps i might get fatter in this way~
After like living "senselessly" for only one week, I was informed about adtp results being posted in izone after one week final exam ended...a week?? u've gotta seriously be kidding me!~ Heartbeat non-stop, sweats all over the face, I can't feel both my hands and legs and my mind is whirling in confusion~!! haha~ not so serious actually--> wanna reduce the tense environment!Ok get to the point, I straightly open up to my izone,after thinking i screwed up in one of my subjects during the previous semester ( though I do not considered myself as fumbled because of it due to the fallacious set-up in the exam papers).. Once I opened my result page, i really do not know what I should react towards it...I became paralyzed~

Subject	Grade
Semester: 2 [GPA - 3.77 CGPA - 3.63]
MATH1220 [CALCULUS I]	A
PSY1000 [GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY]	A
CIS1020 [INTRODUCTION TO END-USER COMPUTING]	A
ECON2010 [PRINCIPLES OF MICROECONOMICS]	B

Just to be honest, I am quite disappointed with my microeconomics for not be able to score better,ruining my 4months semester period...I admit in order to obtain GPA of 4.0, a sustained effort and unprecedented level of commitment must be put to make the change...By looking at the overall view, it's not as bad as I thought as I should satisfied with my current CGPA..as they say,if u run after two hares will catch neither...with these results,I may still be able to strive for Western Michigan scholarships though I must not be on off-guard...and this conclude the end of my second semester...

Sem Break Party!

After the stressful exams which occupied most of my time...finally it ended last friday...some of my friends ended early but they still joined us for the marathon... "yau yi hei"! We had Microeconomics and CIS (introduction to End-User Computing) subjects on the last day...adrian, despite being sleepy still camp at college with us...he brings laptop and play "Call Of Duty 5" alone over there while we're studying over here..
No doubt, after the exams...i feel like i am freed from 10 years of imprisoned...the moment suppose to be exhilarating...however..jenny lost her hp...i guess some1 stole it from her bag before her notice when the exam was still proceeding...the stupid security in sunway won't even pay much attention to our issues...i swear if i got a chance..i'll complain in whatever way i can...curse their work for being working so ineffective and unproductive...however it did not end here..just when we are about depart, mandy's car (somewhere near the insertion of fuel) was crumpled...it was ridiculous...a slight collides by some car or motorist i guess..then the right front tyre was punctured..zZz...it was unbelievable...it all seems to be an unlucky day~
What's done is done...nothing can be changed....we went to pyramid redbox to sing aloud...thus,releasing all the stresses accumulated all these long..this time, adrian lee, hua set and another girl joined us...We had our buffet and sings at the same time....trust me, the buffet was not as good as i expected...

-i am singing- (looks retarded said wayne)-

After the event, we went to wind up the tyre in mandy's car...then we straightly went to One-U for midnight movie-Bolt...it was 3D and this time it was worth it...the animation was a big showdown and the characters were both cute and amusing..after the movie, we planned for another movie-Twilight but the cinema had closed...we had nothing to do and adrian again, thinks we should do some sohai things that we never did b4...he said if we wan to sohai, sohai now...when we're working years later, there'll be no chance...The first thing we did was press the stop button at the escalator...and we actually pissed the security somewhere nearby...before he manage to approached us, we ran away~~ that's silly!..the 2nd thing we did was taking pictures with a time machine (actually a typical transparent washing machine).. the 3rd thing we did was playing with trolley in the car park....adrian was the dragger and i was the sitter...we fool around in the car park for a while before departing to time square..

-Sohai Things-
On our way to time square...we got lost in the middle of the road thx to darren for being so initiative in leading us...haha...we got lost out of nowhere for an hour before we actually reached time square...we wanted to go for the cinema in time square because it opens up till late night...however, the lost on highway caused us unable to catch-up on time..once reach time square...we walk around the shops nearby before stopping at Starbucks...at around 6am, we departed back and it ended there...though a tiring nights, but we really know how to relax ourselves...haha~~^^mandy and darren are great drivers too~ though darren "skills" in turning direction was like speed of lightning and unexpected while mandy manage to keep up with him from behind...haha^^ till here then~ xD

Campers Unite #2 - Nighwalk!!

I think my story never ends if i never learn to summarize it...after thinking a while...i guess summing all the things in a blog would make my post tedious and untidy~
Back to the point, *continue from the 2nd nights of camping* - we're starving in the middle of the nights~ adrian and noeleen volunteerily went out to McD and order some meals to be "take away" for us.. -Enjoying our McD meals with the lights turned off-
After finishing most of it, Adrian suggested that we should do something instead of keep studying senselessly...then he said we should take up some challenge...explore the dark and unvisited areas in the college...that time was around 3.30am.. We move as a group and we had only one torchlight...the whole place was really dark with no lights at all~~ In the mean time, Noeleen screams almost most of the time as we kept making sounds to scared her...haha~~ she was totally freaked out!!...we move from the south to the north building, and from the lowest floor to the highest floor...although nothing particular things happen...but we actually enjoyed the experience in the dark...
After that, we walk up to the monorail stand there( place where people wait for monorail some time ago)...we walk on the pathway beside the rail leading us somewhere near the sunway lagoon...there was a lot of trees and bushes which made our journey quite adventurous~~

- Part of the Adventure-

When we were about to reach the end of our route...raining starts, something that was never a factor in our adventure as it is so unexpected...Without much delay,we quickly ran back to the monorail stand for shelter...resting there for hours as to wait for the rain to stop...the time was around 5am+..so we took some photos again~

-We are all wet and sweat-

Campers Unite!! Recruiting Campers Now!!

As from what the title post, it is the days we camped in college preparing for final exam...the title was actually quoted from Adrian,probably the organizer of the study group...Like I mentioned before, I was alone in the house...my Sunway friends invited me out to study together in the college..study marathon..perhaps i should put it that way..We will stay awake at least until 6am...The group members comprises of Wayne, Adrian , Mandy , Jenny , Darren And Me (sequence from the photo above).. actually got another 1 called PJ..but i don't have his photo...
Let's start with Wayne, amusing guy with a sense of humour...like to carry his PSP around and like to take pictures to keep as memories..also a FF (Final Fantasy) fans...from what i heard, he is influenced by Adrian and PJ..which lead him on his way to play starting from FF1 until FFXII...Adrian- an anime maniac and game freak..excel in all those things he ever did especially in study ( current CGPA still maintain at 4.0)...Mandy - a very open minded girl and like to brag about herself which in turn provoke me like to "bomb" non-stop with her...A very independent girl with a sense of "justice"...Offended her and you'll have no future~ but sometimes she can be quite laughable, sot sot and funny..also like to bully people XD~ Jenny - quite a quiet person and feminine girl...although she is somehow our "big sis"...but she was the one who always get bullied (tease) as she wasn't the kind of girl can make her own decision..(by Mandy)...her favourite quote would be " if the outside food provided is not cooked enough, then just take back home and steam it lar!"..haha^^..Darren- a china guy with very laughable expression..his specialty would be "halo" with a very funny chinese accent..
Back to the "camp, we chat , we laugh and we study during the particular period...Wayne actually bring PSP and laptop...Like what mandy told me, if anybody ever bring laptop, surely nobody is studying~ haha~Wayne showed us a lot of "funny XX" videos which in turn reduce the tense environment~Indeed, there are others who stay at the foyer studying but as 3am is approaching, the security will turned off all the lights..To my surprise, Adrian actually brought a table lamp in his bag..I am speechless..He was serious about it,man~ We really study with the help of his lamp.Ohh ya~ Noeleen actually joined us in the 2nd nights..

That guy actually flirting around with noeleen ~~haha we manage to keep the evidence..^^

alone

I am back to blogging once again!~ok...i admit i've been busy with my studies for the past few weeks...assignments after assignments....and quizzes after quizzes....i even barely have the time to "fart"!~ =.=
Since last week, I feel like I've been "abandoned" in the house from my housemates....they went back a week b4 my final exam start...I guess i have no choice but to stay in the house alone...Last friday ( a day b4 they went back)...Tommy, Andrew and I went to midvalley to kill some time...who would have thought we went there just to cheong K~ lol~ at 1st tommy suggested we go watch movie and i agreed spontaneously( one movie takes approximately 1hour 30 mins ) plus we have so much time to spend...who would have disagree if we never really plans for the upcoming activities in the shopping mall...andrew felt it's a waste of time after all...
Like they said, our society in Malaysia is a collectivistic culture...we go,we plan, we do and we move as a community...we shopped around senselessly at the Garden Shopping Complex or smthg like that,and walk into Nike and Adidas shop and loiter around about the quality products... In the end, we ended up at Redbox~ of course i never thought we will go for singing because there are only three of us...three boys...where's the excitement begin?
However, Tommy is there...everything begins and ends with him...He is the "bulb" that lightens our day...haha~ we sang most of the English songs probably because of me~ I felt so uncomfortable~
At night we regrouped with the rest of the housemates and had our dinner at Sunway Pyramid, Kim Gary...Right after that, we had two bottles of Carlsberg at home...although i don't want to admit but i am at my limit right after the 2nd bottles (total 650ml)...i managed to finish it but i barely kept my consciousness because the alcohol is playing with my cerebellum and i am losing my balance...i went to sleep immediately after that...haha~
The next day, they went back and I am the only 1 at the house...for the 1st time in my life, i am alone in the house faraway from my home...hoho~ but exam is still exam...i gotta prepare for it anyway... xD
