Look Out Point

12/6/2010

There was a birthday celebration for 4 girls at Look Out Point since their birthdays are around this day (and even 1 of their birthday on this day).

The place was quite uphill and the road to the place was widing to go up.

Some of us reached there early so we went up to the restarant first. Its kinda like a treetop house. We checked the prices at the menu and even ordering a glass of sky juice could burn a hole in our wallets. >< But the restautant had a great view since it was at a high spot.

Unfortunately (well maybe it could be fortunately) for us, we went to the wrong restaurant. The others called us to tell the correct restaurant. Lol. Lucky we didn't order anything yet; we were just hanging around. XD

The 1st thing to check on the correct restaurant's menu was the plain water. Haha. Lucky this 1 was cheaper XD. If not sure become beggar after dinner.

The food there was ok, but the view there was the main attraction. The pictures can't really capture its full beauty though.

At some point, the lights would turn off, disco ball light turn on while the birthday song plays before a waiter brings the cake for a customer having his birthday. This happened about 5 times but we didn't have that played for us. Weird cause we have 4 people celebrating their birthdays. Well its probably necessary to buy their cake or something for that special(and after being played 5 times, annoying) happening.

It was quite dangerous to drive back in the night though since there is no street lights at all. Besides the car headlights, only the small square mini light at the center of the roads lit the road up at some points.

This wouldn't be my choice of celebration unless for a very special occasion.

Life in college

I haven't updated my blog for quite some time now. With less leisure time, blogging seem to be unappealing compared with other things.

Life in college have been quite tiring... well for me it is. Assignments were assigned, worried, stressed over, and finally completed... with me nearly dying in the process. In addition to that, presentation was another nightmare. I even had to buy a formal shirt and shoes (I had the pants) for a presentation. Haiz... Presentation brought along lots of nervousness and anxiousness. No need to mention the stress which came along with it. The first quiz for each subject except Study Skills were taken too. Fortunately it wasn't too bad.

Mid-terms exams were sat for just last week (7/6-9/6) which thankfully leads to no classes on the following two days. While school students were having their 2 weeks holiday, I was having mid-term exams. Yea... life can be just that fair. At least the badly needed 2 days holiday was there.

Intermediate English is like English except that we are learning much deeper but basic English. Have to learn back the tenses and the type of sentences. ZZZ. Besides that, there's also formulas in English too! @@ Omg? It seems to me that this is the first time I had to memorize and study so hard for an English exam (not counting the literature part last time). Well the exam was quite tough. The words which require definition to be answered was head cracking.

Study Skills is a waste of time. In my opinion, no other words describe it better than that. It's kinda like Moral I guess except this teaches about studying and stuff like that. Heh I don't even really know what this subject is about. The objective part of the exam was alright. One of the question even had a answer choice about facebook XD. On the contrary, the subjective part were hard. Fortunately, not too many marks go for that part.

Finite Maths is like Additional Additional Maths. The topics are abit similar to Add Maths. And just like Add Maths, I had not enough time. I did finish the questions that I knew but haven't had enough time to write some random workings on a question I didn't know how to do. Stupid logarithms! But besides that, it wasn't too bad.

Computing Principle is like Sejarah. Boring and hard to remember. I just cant get the names and its uses inside my brain. But I guess it is easier than Sejarah since it's in English and it's not about the history :D. Still it was the toughest subject and exam.

So with assignments and presentations, college life is guaranteed to be a tiring and stressful one.

18th Birthday

8/5/2010

Part 1 - Family
Family first... literally.

Me, mum, sis, Jarett and Jayden went for some program in KL Tower today. It was organized by Biolife and it was mostly about health talk. So it was no surprise that I was the youngest person that joined the program (not including Jayden).

Went up the the KL tower before some talks started. Blah blah blah... sounded kinda like Biology related stuff.

Went for a walk at a jungle like path beside the KL tower later. We didn't manage to complete the whole route because it was delayed (by the exercises and talks and the question that were asked). Maybe it was a good thing too cause the weather was burning.

Lunch followed by lucky draws. Apparently the birthday person will always have some lucky. I won a electronic toothbrush (which I didn't want or need, so I gave it to my sis).

We later went to have the around the KL Tower's deck board to have a view of KL. Not too bad I guess.

Part 2 - A friend
Time Square again. It was crowded. The bowling alleys were also crowded when we got there so we walk around first hoping the crowd will lessen later.

The crowd did lessen... maybe by 1 or 2 people I guess. Still we got our socks and short nails already(I didn't want any nails to crack or break by playing bowling ><) so we went for a game.

Either the bowling alley was too crowded or the lane that we got was glitchy. Our first few shots and the last few shots weren't recorded into the screen. And the workers there were invisible in the crowd. Oh well, at least we got a few extra rounds because of it (the pins keep refilling XD).

There was some other "technical error" too. Mum didn't hear that I sms her so she arrived later that we wanted her to pick us up. Lol. Sorry for the delay. Was slightly late for the next part of the day too.

Part 3 - More friends
A total of 13 of us had dinner as a celebration at Steak Garden. It was good since I didn't want too many people. But the place was crowed though. I think it had something to do with the fact that the day after today is Mother's Day. Fortunately we had probably the only space left which was at the corner. Ate, chatted, talked crap, took photos, before they (my friends) brought out a cake for me. Lit the candles, sang the song, cut the cake. Then came the ugly part. The guys wanted my face to eat the cake, or in other words, hitting some cake on my face. I tried to run away but there really isn't any chance when it more than 5 guys vs me alone. Fortunately not all of them wanted to do it, thus only 3 pieces of cake were smacked onto my face. Kinda pain coming from the right side.

Had lots of fun there. I think we were quite noisy too. Haha.

After dinner, some of the guys and I went to a mamak to chat and hang out. But we went back before 12 midnight as we were quite tired.

Although it was a bittersweet birthday, it was one of the best birthday in my memory.

Ip Man 2

Went to Times Square yesterday to see Ip Man 2.

Those people that loves fighting/kung fu movies will love this movie. There are many fighting scenes in this movie. There are also lots of humour in this movie. The story was just the average, typical kind of story. Kinda dramatic but the movie was also emotional. The movie also delivers a moral value.

All in all, it is a great movie.

I still prefer Iron Man 2 though.

Iron Man 2

Having a student card finally has its advantages. Besides having a cheaper rate at bowling, my movie ticket had also a student price.


The 2 hour long movie definitely lived up to expectations. The main actor(Robert Downey Jr.) played his character really well. I think nobody could have played Tony Stark better. This alone was a key factor in making this movie(and the 1st movie) a great one.



Then, there's the future and high tech stuffs that makes you go "wow" or "walau" or "fuyoh". After all, who wouldn't like cool and advance technology?

The main villain character was played very well too. Equip with his evil laugh, his portrait of the villain was very well done.
And finally, there's Iron Man. Probably the coolest armor ever. There is even more to that but I would spoil the story if I said more.
The story wasn't the best but it was still nice. Quite a number of funny moments were in the movie too.

I can't decide whether Iron Man 1 or 2 is better. I guess both rocks equally.

Not impress yet? Go watch it yourself to understand why it is so good. XD

College life

In a few blinks of an eye, it has been 2 weeks of college life (technically its 5 weeks, but the first 3 weeks wasn't really studying, so whatever).

Finite Maths is probably the class which have the least pressure (for me at least). Most of the topics were learned in secondary school so it wasn't too bad. The lecturer is good too as he never scolds students for answering wrong. His classes aren't so serious either.

Intermediate English is alright too, although the lecturer sometimes intimidates us. At least he has a good sense of humour too.

Computing Principle is a pain. It strangely reminds me of learning Biology - memorizing those weird and peculiar names and their functions and so on. Haiz... this is going to be hard for me.

Study Skills in my opinion is not very useful. And with a few other bad factors, this is 1 of the worse class to go into. Fortunately, it's only a once a week class. Phew...

So far, everything is alright. Except the assignments, presentations and group project that need to be done. Arrggghhh! I hate them. These add to the pressures on to my shoulders.

In a nutshell (the English lecturer says that many students use the words "in a nutshell" to write their essays. Looks like I have to change my conclusion style), college is quite tiring and stressful (especially when I keep thinking about the assignments... OMG). I know that it can be quite exciting and can get to meet more people and join more activities and what-not...

Too bad those doesn't increase my fun meter much...

At least I got my classmates-turned-exclassmates-turned-classmates.

Thank God there's a badly needed 1 week study break this week.
