Trip with MHS

9.am. We entered the cave with the cave man. He navigated us, told us stories, and so so. The cave, so dark, so wet, so vast and narrow. Some said, creepy. But I love the cave quite much. Rock formations resembles molten candle, Mona Lisa, Chicken, Elephant, Cowboy, and so so. Truly 100% nature's art work. Amazing. However the floor was magnificent. Full with water, tapak kasut, Mentos wrappers, tissue papers, and other species of rubbish. Some parts of the walls have graffitis doodled by humans. Severely infected by humans. Me, Heng, Kellies both Koh and Teo, Rachel, Auyong, Yuin Kuan and other MHS peeps followed the cave man like the other did. Kelly Teo was so...kinda prone to fall. Vulnerable to rocks. She was so awkward to maneuver in the rocky stony tunnels, so I was enslaved to be her bodyguard. But she is really funny and naughty, keep disturbing the master ^^. Then we walked, climbed, crawled, jumped, fell. One part in the cave is quite dangerous. Peeple need to slide down deep rocks. I almost fell. So I helped the cave man to support people from the bottom when they slide, because I'm afraid people got injured, then troublesome. Finally reached another end. Then we turned back with different path. 4 hours journey completed finally.

We reached penang around noon. I became the "pilot", what the bus driver called me. I navigate with the map throughout the whole trip in Penang thanks to my experience. We stayed in Red Rock Hotel. 2 beds, 6 guys. 1 toilet. Then we went eat out. Both Kelly were so~ choosy. Kelly Teo took away all the bean sprouts, all vege stuff, basically everything except the mee. Kelly Koh also not much difference, but better than Teo.

Second day. We went Bukit Bendera. Rode the train up. So high the train went up, till 150++ metres above sea. I saw the entire Penang. Then we went to kek lok si. Stomach ache there. *sigh* Then went to Gurney Plaza. Almost nothing there except boutiques, but the gals like it. Then we went to the sea infront of it, enjoy the breeze but not the rain.

Final day we went to Sunway Lagoon in Petaling Jaya. Thanks to Alex for the direction. I called him when the bus doubted where to drive. Then reached Sunway but I got fever when swimming, *sigh* so I went up waiting for other peeps. Then we went to Pyramid. We searched for a specified restaurant for so long, yet finally decided to eat in Mr Teppanyaki. Truly yucky. The restaurant use normal rice instead of the nihon gohan, and have you ever seen bento without sushi? Summore green tea is charged. Miso soup tasted like maggie soup. sux. Cost us a fortune. Then here comes the funny part. We divide the money according to the menu we orders, but who knew it is so complicated and confusing to got the "debit" and "credit" correct! Fortunately got ah Kuan and Kelly Teo, finally they solved the accounts after some 20 minutes. Lol.

Busiest Holiday Ever...

After my first semester, I had a nonstop "marathon" vacations from 3th - 9th December. Kinda exhausting but nice feeling.

Pangkor Trip (3th - 4th)
20 of us (Yau Kin, Ying Shen, Kong, Chee Kin, CK, KK, me, Puven, Ming Xian, Ah Yeo, Chai Shing, Leon, Chang Yi, Brenson, Feng Jie, Jun Lee, Ah Wen, Han Shen, Wai Chun and Digi) went to Pulau Pangkor.Yau Kin, Kong, Puven and I drove them to Lumut. Then we broaded the ferry. The moment we reach the jetty in Pangkor, Xiao Han welcomed us. (thx to Hanshen's effort) We then headed to Coral Bay Hotel to check in.We had snorkeling and and banana boat-riding in Pangkor. But it was a bit too disappointing when we went snorkeling, since the water isn't clear and the corals are so little, almost dying. So are the fishes. Despite of that the area is full of dangerous rocks covered with sharp barnacles' shells, which had made us all "scratched". The worst thing was, Chai Shing got slipped away and got cut in the legs by the barnacles. He got a really deep cut and Kong sent him to the clinic for injection. What a pity of him can't get to swim.

Scenery in Pangkor.

Faces of joy.

Breakfast togather.

Penang Trip (5th-7th)
My family came to UTP and I drove my family's Camry to Penang. Kinda terrible when we reached Penang Bridge. It is super-duper jam, try to imagine a 3-lane road occupied by 9-lane of vehicles. I got stucked nearly 1 hour in the terrible jam. My family and I then took accommodation in the Grand Continental Hotel, in front of COMTAR. on the second day we went to Kek Lok Si, the Botanical Garden and Gurney Plaza. Surprisingly I met Chai Shing there! What a coincidence...However sad to mention that I got a summon at Gurney. The third day we visited snake temple, then to Perak, Gua Tempurung. Kinda disappointed when we can't go for the adventure tour where we could get into the water in the cave. So we just took a walk inside. Anyway I'm counting for the second trip.
This is a special dedication for Leon and KK: Thank you for helping me so much during my trip and being my "virtual" tour guide!!! Yea those maps DID help a lot.





Back to Melaka (8th)
I received SMS from Rachel asking me to join some MHS guys and a few others to go for a movie and badminton. So did I join. The movie we watched is 'Quarantine' at DP. No comment la, kinda zombie movie, but it is actually about rabies who spread on human and turn those infected into zombie like being, biting and eating others. With the camera swaying and swinging, my head turns together. No wander Joel say he felt dizzy. Then we went to Heng Ann for badminton. I met Yeow Kin Woon and his brother, then Soon Heng and Teck Peng. Sad to say that Desmond can't joint us that day because his house got flooded. Anyway can you imagine how could 16 poeple use 2 courts? Anyway we had a triple match. Seng Keat, Joel and Teck Peng vs Kin Woon, Soon Heng and I. Interesting and "authentic". Around 7 pm after sending Rachel back, I went home and headed to JJ to met up Kong who was in his way back to Sarawak. Surprisingly I met Chai Shing again!!! That day I met him in Penang and now in Melaka! Should I try 4d? Hehe...






Melaka Trip with UTPians (9th)
I went to Chang Yi house early in the morning to lead Kong and Chang Yi to our destination. Then we met up Yong Bao, Jennifer and Edmund in Mac Donald in DP. We started off with the Melaccan famous chicken rice balls. Then visited 2 museums in Melaka. Next we had the popular bridge-side cendol before I found that I got another summon for expired coupon! So did Kong! Anyway we went to the Melacca Zoo. Visited all kinda animals and walked till my legs blistered. After that we went to Edmund house, eat some super sour grapes planted by his dad (grapes planted in Malaysia, really rare!), so I finished'em all. Then I sent Yong Bao and Jennifer back before I brought Kong and Chang Yi for satay celup. The satay celup was a bit expensive so I brought them to Carry-on Steamboat. Eat until 11.00 p.m. We went back to Chang Yi's house and have some discussion on other plans. Then I bit farewell to Kong, for he is going back to Sarawak.

Last Moment in UTP for Foundation First Sem 2008

Yeah, finally all the freaking examinations had over when I finished my Thinking Skill paper! Kinda happy. My first semester thus ended peacefully. Then I got my summons paid. RM 30. Ouch! Afterwards I straight away rush to my dorm, started my car and fetched Chun Kiat to fix his out-of-shape bike. Kinda ridiculous when we tried to stuff that enormous metal frame into my car. Failed and helpless, so we went to Taman Maju to to meet the repairman. However unexpectedly I met Fook Ann, KK, Leon and Han Shen, later Jeremy, Edmund and CK at the saloon. So I and Chun Kiat decided to had our hair trimmed. So did us. *this was the first time I had my hair trimmed with a little style*

Then in the evening we started off our trip to Ipoh. It was fun when you can go to Ipoh with such a BIG group of friends. I fetched Vittaya, Leon, Hanshen and Chai Shing, Then Fook Ann Fetched KK, Jeochim, Chikin and Jun Lee. *I stucked in the Petrol station!* On the way I sent my laptop and YeeWeng's to his house. We then headed to Ipoh Parade, and played bowling. Yeah I scored 2 continuous strike! There we met other "cars" of people, including Robert, Yee Weng, Boon, and Houng Ket. Later Ming Xian, Andy and Micheal. Edmund, Ritchie, Yu Han and Hena of course, too. etc, etc.

After the bowling half of us went for steamboat near Exceliar/Excelcer/Excelcier/Elixcer dunno what Exxxxxx hotel. Yeow Kin's suggestion. Thx to him for such a nice place. RM 21 per person. There we met with the Chemi-gruop, CV-group and my own PE-group (mostly). OMG I and Hanshen almost crapped out there. We ate with all our might when we saw some exotic, irresistible cuisine, such as crabs, clamps, "heko", prawn, all sorts of siputs and seafood. Of course there are the usual fishballs, crabballs, meatballs, ballballs...Yea I stressed on the yummillisiousness of the APPLEMINT ice cream. Chai Shing crapped out too when he used a GLASS to put all the colourful ice creams instead of using the normal small bowl. He'll surely gain weight. Hehe...

Round-tummied, me, Fook Ann, KK, Jeochim, Jun Lee, Leon, Hanshen, Chaishing, vittaya and Chikin proceeded our plan to a K-box. (Karaoke) in Ipoh Parade. All of us gone mad in the K-room. Soon Mingxian, Yeow and Micheal came too. I sang like a mad dog...and Jay Chou accounted for almost 90% of all the "sings we songed". Until 1.00 a.m., we were done and went for supper in Tongsuikai. But we ended up chatting and bought CDs instead of makan. Met with Yeowkin and gang. We then go back to UTP around 3.a.m. What a day!
(PICTURES MAY COME SOON!)

NEXT AGENDAs:
Pangkor trip (3th - 4th)
Perak-Penang trip with Family (5th - ??)
MHS Penang trip. (22th - 25th)

Life in UTP (Updated)

My first semester in UTP is coming to an end in this coming few weeks. I had a very clear idea on how my life is in UTP. I'll give a very brief picture on life in UTP. Frankly, I enjoyed every moment here with my fellow friends and my sporting room mate as well. They give me the colour of life in UTP, though sometimes I'll tend to isolate myself to study when test or exam approached. We played soccer every week (sometimes untill 1.a.m.), swimming (thx to Yen Hua coaching me free style), badminton (favourite, and thx to KK teaching me to smash), go to Ipoh kai kai, watch movie, DotA-ing, Counter Strinking (both I solute to Leon's experties, but I am catching up in CS!!!) , Pasar Malam-ing, and go to Tronoh to get some yummilicious food. During weekends, I'll go for yang qin practise for the chinese orchestra. I really have a strong passion in all those musical instruments as they will release my tension efficiently. However things aren't perfect. I can't find a paino here, and there is only 1 grand paino in the subterrainean seminar room. Once I used to sneaked into that place, in DARKNESS late in midnight just to play the piano!!! Plus, the wifi in my room sux! That's why I can't online. When it comes to study, sometimes I really got too stressed by tests and assignments, and I feel that time is really insufficient for me to study...so i really did something terrible. I skip classes and even some of my meals...just to keep me studying. I even had a'lil conflict with my good friend, however it was settled not much later. That's all from me, now let the pictures continue the story...

Acting Cool....(drama)

Happy Depavali...

Well, I suppose it is quite a long period I've stopped blogging, all thanks to my dorm's location in UTP, with such a weak signal that make online impossible. Sad to mention that. Well, back to the Depavali break, I've quite some nice memory together with all my formal friend back in Melaka. I've made a right decision not to stay in UTP. It is quite fortunate that I was invited by Thiru to visit her house. So I went to her house with Heng Jia Shen and Rachel. I picked Rachel up at Melaka Baru before Heng Jia Shen. FYI that is the very first time I met Rachel...then we went to Thiru's house with some present. After that, we went to DP GCS. This time with Ong Yi-OMG he put on wieght again! After the cenima, we went to Newton to have our dinner, but Kalai suddenly invited us to his open house. We went to Kalai's house and met with Silk Yuan, Jordan, Eugene, Jun Mei and Kin Wee. Not bad, a mini reunion. Soon after we called it a day. This is one of the best memory I had ever had with my friends.

Back to Melaka - Quarantined?

Stay at least 5 meters away from me!!

Measles are highly contagious and the virus spread in the air via the contaminated aerosol droplets produced by sneezing and coughing patients. In some cases that I read in BBC news, the disease remains contagious still within 4 meters from the patient. That's why I am home now. (The picture don't portray my actual situation which is very mild)

It started like this - on the 23 of July, my symptoms begin as a mild fever. I felt very cold in the lecture hall, and a bit of dizziness and sore throat. Sooner, my friends said that my face looked as red as an apple. My eyes looked red as well, like "pontianak". We thought that this was a normal fever, and the Chinese usually used to said "overheated". So I went to see the doctor in UTP after my lecture sessions. Yet, the early symptoms were too insufficient to give a clue that the doctor assumed my condition as a normal throat infection. We didn't think of measles at all, and I had never been concerned about it. Taking it likely as normal sore throat, still I hang out with friends to have our dinner at V4.

On the very next morning, my roommate Han Shen who had taken care of me for the whole night said that my face remained red and my temperature remains high even he kept putting a wet clothes on my forehead. Then I knew something MUST be wrong. When I was changing my shirt, to my surprise, I noticed thousands of red spots in my chest! And a lil of them on both of my arms. Worse came to worst, I had a bad flu and nasal infections. The symptoms were fully manifested. I knew it was measles, so I rush to the clinic again and this time the doctor had confirmed it. Then I recalled my brother's case around 10 days ago before I came to UTP. He got measles too, and probably I picked up the same virus from him. After the incubation period of 10 days, the disease finally shown up in me. I was given an MC for about a week to rest at home. I managed to get Gabriel, my kind senior's help to send me to the bus terminal.

Potential Epidermic?

I reached home when twilight fell. Then I online to read more about measles. Only I did realize that measles is highly contagious and in some cases, fatalities! (1 out of 1000) However the good news is, in Malaysia standard of living is moderately high so there is no reason to be worry. Moreover we were all vaccinated against the really dangerous strain of measles virus. (FYI, there is many strains of the virus, not all are deadly) Anyway deep in my heart I am praying that none in UTP would pick up the disease. Otherwise, UTP might come to a standstill, just like
the Japanese Measles Epidemic and imagine this - I am the culprit that all the fingers would point!!! The result would be shown in 10 more days...

Lets Know More!









Measles is a very infectious viral disease spread by droplets of saliva.It is a serious condition that used to carry a high mortality rate, mainly the under threes. Measles is caused by the Morbillivirus.

Symptoms
-incubation period of 9-14 days
-fever
-conjunctivitis
-Koplik's spots in the mouth which resembles grains of salt
-runny nose
-cough
-rashes that spread throughout the body starting from the head
-rashes may join to form blotches
-painful joints
-rashes may itch

Complications
Measles is a serious disease. It may lead to vision impair or blindness as a result from eye ulceration. Up to certain extends it could be fatal. However rate of fatality can be relatively rare with a proper treatment. The commonest cause of death is pneumonia. The most serious complication it could bring is encephalitis or brain infection. 1 in 1000 patients with measles will develop this problem, 10-15% of those who do will die, and about another 25% will be left with permanent brain damage, which would result in coma, convulsions, paralysis and are intellectually impaired.

Treatment
Since it is a viral disease, there is no cure for it so far. However treatments are aim to relieve the symptoms and complications. Sufficient rest is vital for your body to fight against the virus. Take a lot of water to prevent dehydration from fever. Supportive measures such as Caramine lotion and paracetamol will ease the discomforts. In cases of bacterial infection such as pneumonia, antibiotics are prescribed.

Prevention
The only way of prevention is through immunization. An MMR injection (measles mumps rubella) , could easily render us invulnerable to the disease. Usually the injection is given to a 15 months old baby.

First Impression on UTP

Well, I'll not gonna write long since it is deep in the night and I still have a long list of orientation programs way to go this week. Moreover, I am using my roomate's laptop.


I reached UTP at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and I recieved an SMS from Rachel asking me about my depature at the same moment. Well, I then headed to the Chancellor complex (in the picture) for registration. For your information, the complex actually symbolizes UTP, credit to its unique architectual design. Besides, labs and library in this complex is really amazing, with its fastinating futuristic looks.



I would say that I'm very lucky to got admitted into UTP because I could see something where other university can't - the UTP society. I would love to stress on the Malay friends in UTP. They are the chosen one all over Malaysia, the cream of the cream. The vast majority of them here are very capable especially in leadership, and of course, very friendly and sociable. Ya, What really caught my attention is that, many of them are REALLY excellent in English, and are really good English speakers! The officers and lecturer are even better! I really respected them. Well, I met friend from all over Malaysia, as well as from other country such as Austria, Zimbawe, South Africa, Thailand, Sudan and etc.




Ok, I think I'll stop here. Time doesn't allow. I'll post an even detail one with more pictures soon after I got to access the free computer in the Library!

Last Moment In Melaka - Emo

I'll no longer be staying in Melaka, the place where I used to call home for the past 14 years. Before I step out of my house with my luggages in hands, I turned my head back to look shortly into the living room once again. Kinda procrastination. Kinda sad. It was empty, dark, silent. Yet, memories of the past keep being reminisced in my mind. I saw my siblings watching television though they were all sleeping soundly in their bed. In fact it was just an imagination of a normal day. I pay a last visit to my aquarium for this month (hopefully), but the fishes were all ''dormant'' at night. When the car engine roamed, I know that it was time. I finally stepped out of the gate, reluctantly. I am really, really emo! A mixed feeling of sadness and happiness! That nostalgic midnight really means a lot to me, signifies a junction which change my journey of life forever... Soon, we departed. Well, I am actually kinda emo, sad to mention, when it comes to this kind of moments where I am departing for another life. (The same implies to the day before I go to Japan for 2 weeks and NS for 3 months. But UTP for 5 years!!!). I will appreciate all the my stays in Melaka, and the time I spend with family and fellow friends. Adios Jia Wei, Han Way, Amin, Heng, William, Wee Chen, Kin Woon etc etc! After 5 years pursuing my foundation and a degree in petroluem engineering in UTP, scarcely I stand a chance to come back here, or to meet with you guys. Yes, only for vacations I'll come back. I might be working miles away off-shore in the middle of 'nowhere', or thousands of miles away off-Malaysia. That's why when I think more and more, I became more and more emo. Ok. Enough mention of my stupid emo's emotion. Come on, that's normal!!! Oh, forget to mention that Amin had finally decided to take ALAM rather than Petronas in search for a much greener pastures in USA. Amin, good luck and be cheerful as you always be! I will always support you!

Jaya Jusco Annual 'Flood'

Today I keep myself busy with packing, packing and packing, shopping, shopping and shopping. I go to JJ for a luggage-hunt, and also satisfactorily hunted down a few nice clothes. Oh yeap, Rachel said she would be there also, luggage-hunting too, so a Rachel-hunt was going on. Hehe. But too sad I never saw her. There are human all over, flooding every corner. Really too "much" of human. I could barely walked without colliding with them. It was not appealing at all environment wise, so hot and congested with human. You know la, human breath out hot gases and occupy space, because they are matters. But on the contrary, the prices were, wow, fantastic! That's why it's like sugar attracting ants, honeys attracting bees and money attracting the forever craving human. Including me, hehe, human too. Oh, ya, due to the astonishing numbers of car, it left me no choice but to park my car far away at Han Seng's big mansion, after my mom granting permission from her mom. However what a pity of us when my car came broken down half way back to home...haiz. Had to called out my aunty to send us home...

Nasi Lemak Template

Drooled, I wandered unknowingly into the kitchen, being lured by the tantalizing aroma. My eagle-sharp eyes glanced swiftly across the table...and was instantly caught by the sight of...NASI LEMAK. Oh...my mom had just finished cooking Nasi Lemak. Itadakimasu! (why Japanese?) Next I saw slices of banana leaf in the table, with many shiny water droplets on its surface. Then, here came my inspiration, a 'divine' inspiration that shakes the very foundation of, -.- my blog design mind set. Cheh!
CONSEQUENCES: I started to love leaves and green colour. I changed my template.


Well, besides having too much time in hand, I decided to change my template into a better one so that it could passionate me to blog. I modified the original 'This Way' template by giving it a new skin. Albeit spending hours trying and erring, the results are worth. At least I learned how HTML works. Furthermore,I really love this brand new 'Nasi Lemak' template.(tough the textures seem to be like bamboo) Its dark green background had given this page a rejuvenating, cooling effect to my eyes. It is very comforting. Yea, for your information, this template is solely for decoration purposes, so it has nothing to do with my blog title ' The Rolling Stone' at all. Anyway the water droplets are arranged in the shape of 'm' which stands for 'Maxor', my Internet Nickname.
NOTE: No Nasi Lemak or Banana leaves are being hurt in the making of this template.

Bye Bye Form 6

When the counting of months became weeks, I finally made up my mind to put a full stop in my form 6 life. I will soon leaving this very home town to start off a new life as a university student far to the north in UTP, Perak. Hence, my time at home is getting more precious as it goes shorter, so I had decided to spend more time at home. Ya, for some may doubt over my sudden disappearance in class, leaving MHS in silence without a word. So here I explain to you why is it so. In fact I set the date 20th of June (Friday) as my last day in school, and would be bitting farewell to my class. However I didn't make it to Friday since i fell ill for the last 2 day, therefore absent and off I went.

These are the few conclusions that I'd jump into about MHS form 6:
It deserves a thumb-up for the teachers and classmates. The teachers are hardworking, experienced and really talented in teachings while the classmates are among the cream of the state (I am not boasting). Everyone are so smart that really pissed me off, make me feel inferior and intimidated especially people like Tang Xing Yi, Ang Wen Jean, Low Jia Wei and Nicky Thong. Others may be, too, but I don't know them long enough. For sure, I'll always be at the last position if i were to stay there. Somehow the classes have a superb atmosphere strong enough to urge me studying. For your information, MHS is among the top in ranking in the whole country for its STPM achievement for the pass few years. Oh, forgot to mention about the toilet...it really sucks! So filthy and smelly that it'll probably awaken those who on a drug effect. The toilet had it's doors pulled off, and the mirror was shattered into pieces. Yea, the wall is full of graffiti. I wonder it makes it look prettier.

Well, there are a few things that I gonna miss:
Definitely I felt reluctant to stop my school life, for it had been the daily routine that I'd been so used to for the past 11 years. I totally agreed with Jia Wei's point that school life is something that money can't buy with once it'd passed. Don't tell me that you are gonna put on your school uniform when your are in the age of 50. Hell, that's totally freak! School life is fun, especially the time I spent with my fellow friends. By leaving Form 6, I'll gonna miss all my friends, especially those from SFI like Han Way. There are also a few from IJC whom I know since form 2, like Tang Xing Yi and Wen Jean, likewise, would be missing them too. I would also miss the school uniform....lol, rather looks like a waiter or salesman's attire. So be it!

Whatever it is, life is always dynamic. We keep facing changes in our life. So hopefully I had made the right choice and UTP won't let me down. Despite of the non-Chinese dominance and strangers there, I'm quite adaptive environment wise and would be used to it as proven in NS. I can always be connected with my fellow friends through blogging and MSN.

Petronas Annual Report

Promptly after the announcement on the reduced petrol subsidies, the public broke out in rage and dissatisfaction, protesting to the fullest and some demanded Petronas to make its annual report more transparent and holistic. I think everyone deserve to have a look on the report. Take your time to glance through shortly before giving any remarks that hopefully would be rational.
-Click here- to view the annual report of Petronas in year 2007.


My concern
Since that I'm gonna be part of the Petronas community very soon, (starting from 12th of July* upon admission into its Universiti Teknology Petronas as a sponsorship holder) certainly I show some concern on this company's future. The recent petrol price hike did make me worry and completely unnerve as petroleum is one of the Petronas fundamental affiliations. Likewise, the arising public attention and doubts towards Petronas financial management may affect its financial planing in future, in turn, would give an impact to me as one of its future work force. The salary schemes may need to be reconstructed to lower the cost of oil productions. However after having a short glance through its annual report, I'm much relieved in the sense that Petronas would never go bankrupt due to its stability in its finance. Nevertheless, Petronas is very much in the shortage of professionals such as experienced engineers, who can boosts up the efficiency of oil production thus cutting cost and lower price of crude (an increase in rate of production would bring it meet the market demand).

On the other hand, lets review on its background. Petronas is a multinational corporate which had and yet to invest in as many as 36 countries worldwide venturing mostly into the very profitable petroleum production businesses, and I think that it still remains numerous decades to come before all the petroleum reservoirs on earth reach depletion. Also, Petronas reached the reputation of the Fortune Global 500 ranking. With the assets value of 294.6billion Ringgit and a net profit of 46.4billion Ringgit in 2007, Petronas proved to have a very strong reserve in economy that make it stands firmly. I hope that the recent political conflicts would not affect Petronas, do take note that Petronas is a business entity, and is apart form our government's policy. If its fate is similar to Proton, I got nothing to say...

*July - so sicked of this word! tend to type as June for so MANY times!!!! IShhhh!
