31.1.2010 Graduation Ceremony

The day I'm officially graduated

Photos?

Nop. I didn't take any. No motivation of doing so. Go visit people's album in facebook

XD

Angkor What!? I mean...Angkor Wat.

This blog is kind of abandoned, huh?

Days are passing fast, yet I still have so much to prepare for my tertiary studies in Melbourne. Gosh, just 7 working days away from leaving!

I know, "How was the Cambodia trip?", "Where are the pictures?", "What's the feeling of leaving soon?" and etc...

Sorry for those who are waiting, I'm really busy currently, and have not much time touching and arranging the photos.. I spent 15 minutes to tone-map 2 HDR to you guys though.

The famous sunrise view of course.

This is the sunset of Angkor Wat. The whole thing is soaked in gold colour

Well, it was really breathtaking when visiting for the first time. The sunrise was owkay, the sun was not in a very good mood I guess. Personally prefer the sunset view of Angkor Wat... The details on the surface are just so wasted to be covered by shadow in the early morning.

One more thing, do not too believe in the Angkor Wat's pictures from Flickr. Most of them are highly photoshopped, which will bring a slight feeling of "overrated" when you witness yourself.

But, it's really amazing when you think of how the heck did those people equipped with such skillful carving technique!?

The Penang of January 26th, 2010

I had been enjoyed and love the weather of Cambodia during December and January, which average only 27-30 Celsius during noon time. Spending 8 days there, my mind was totally occupied by fear of thinking the weather back in Penang...

I have so much to tell you, to share with you about the trip. But first, the weather in Penang surprised me!

The time I opened my eyes, it was the after rain time.

The moment I stepped down from the bus, what welcomed me was the double rainbow slided through the sky....

I just can't believe my eyes, the weather was cooling, and everything seems gonna be alright...

I turned my head back, a great scene like below, made me fall in love with my hometown again, and wondering how much I gonna miss this land when I leave to Australia...

Coffee addiction

I think, I'm addicted to coffee again.

10 minutes ago, I was all mad yelling and screaming, after I found out there was no more coffee in the house.

Now I'm enjoying slowly, sipping it with joy. It was all great after I found another heavy coffee addict (my mum) left half packet of her favorite Old Town White Coffee on the dining table.

I shall be out in a while, and remembering to buy one of my favorite white coffee, by The Cup. It's easily recognised, as it is being well packaged in plain cyanic blue colour.

Don't tell me about Nescafe. They are purely Sux.

01.01.2010 PAINTBALL

Okay, the very late post of what was we doing, on the very first day of 2010.

This post is plainly cheated. I'm writing this...Let see...8.03am, 7th of January, 2010.

Woolala!

Anyway, about 1st day of January, 2010.

First time went to play paintball, it was awesome. There were some pros from the other teams. Glad that won 1 match out of 4, HAHA.

I was joining for fun, and it was seriously fun, but don't know why Ezra so looking into winning and kick ass. Anyway, what he got was double dose of pain.

Amazingly, I only got a painful shot on my hand, near my wrist. That was it.

2nd match. I got directly on my head!

Overall, it was an expensive game, but fun!

So wanna play again!

Final post of 2009 (HELLO 2010)

2009 soon going to become a year of "was". Everything that happened in the year of 2009, good or bad, it gonna be all pasts.

Before it really comes to and end, I would like to leave some words here, at least, one day, I know how was my 2009 was.

In this year, I finally finished the 3 years length of Diploma in Architecture. I'm thankful that, this year is meaningful to me, in this course. Only on the 3rd year of this course, I finally knowing what I'm doing all the while, with directions. I started to gain control of things. All of these thanks to the helpful tutors, course mates, of course, the 2 months of internship in SAA played a critical role on my growth. Although the final year's boost failed to helped on my final outcome (CGPA-Grade B is a fail to me), I have no one to blame for having clumsy foundation during the 1st 2 years. Ahead will be facing new place, new life, and new challenges. Of course I wish it gonna be great and fun.

And....Secondly...I think this will be the final big stuffs that I'm thankful of as well, which is, finally, after almost 3 years of complication status, I'm saying bye bye to single and complicated status. I'm greatly thankful, because long distance relationship is not easy, and it gonna remain the same, for another few years. We both pray that it gonna be good by building our relationship in God's hands. Well, of course there were elders telling me things like "Young people, do not make decision so fast..." and bla bla bla. Partly those words had provoked me to challenge the impossible. Of course, I do love her, that's the very 1st thing. But, relationship is not something that you should bear with the attitude of "cuba-cuba" or "lets have sex 1st, and see afterwards".

Owkay, Last but not least, to blame or to praise, I wish 2009 will be a year that everyone appreciates.

Happy 2010 in advance for 1 minute

(Post date and time configuration is awesome)

Go, and help your parents, you lazy bastards!

To those already back to their hometown and enjoying their holiday, I'm wondering, besides sticking the face in front of the computer or shaking legs, have you really helped out on household chore?

If you haven't help on any, quickly go and do some. It might be troublesome to you, but you will found a lot of tiny surprises.

I just encountered the biggest surprise so far....

There was two 10bucks notes and a 5 bucks note inside the washing machine. Of course, then it became mine.

=D

Surprise~

Too many things happened since after I came back Penang Island, and they were all good. 1st of all, Happy Holiday to everyone, and Merry belated Christmas to all of you, wish you all had been greatly blessed.

See the picture? See the pretty girl on the left? She is Joyce Tan, and she is my girl friend, started from December 18th, 2009 (finally, after almost 3 years). This picture were taken near the side entrance of Gurney Plaza on Christmas Day itself. We just came out from the cinema.

Semester 6, Studio 4's Presentation Board

Yup, this was what I had for the final crit.

Anyway, I got B for studio. Definitely not happy, because I tried very hard, for the A.

But to be honest, Studio 4 is the most enjoyable studio ever. Well, that's for me.

But....Really fuck the B lah! 3 subjects, this one spoiled the hat trick.

A night of Midas

It was the night before I left KL.....

The place I stayed, look at it, from the bed, to the room, then to the corridor, and to the maid who was sleeping sweetly while the watch on my wrist pointing at 2.36am; none of it, never stir the conflicting feeling of mine.

The feeling of wishing to leave the chaotic Mentari area, with the crash of appreciation that the place I was looking at, the place with great security... Of course, inside of it, with lies and empty promises.

It was so secured, for 30 mins time, I walked round and round the walkway, passing by units, some of it, the door widely open, with faith, without fear.

And the event of Midas began. You don't know Midas? Click here.

Of course, this is a distorted version. Not gold, but chrome.

Walking in to the unit of faith, the pair of shoes that commonly used by culinary students, reminds me of how much I gonna miss the kind hearted roommate, Jerry...Although this doesn't belong to Jerry.

A toilet of emptiness....With a gentle touch, then it gained a new look.

Immediately, the coolness flush away the sins of the bathrooms and toilets, for not serving warm water.

That was the end of A night of Midas.
