Leaving To UK

Date: 11/6/2011

Greetings readers! Have not been updating my blog lately due to over-excessively traveling around. Not really for holiday but for some serious business of course. Sigh, I'm writing this post when I'm in the plane while I'm on the way flying to London. Those who knows me, you know I don't like sleeping and 13 hours of flight is sufficient to kill me. I have already watch 2 movies preloaded in my iPad, played my dusty PSP for like 10 times which I have not been using it for like one year plus. It was such a rush decision by the parents sending me to UK. I'm sorry for those who are not informed before hand, because even some of my really close mates also not informed. I'm way beyond hell busy ever since the end of my undergraduate life. Another new journey of life has been started and of course I have been looking forward for this to come ever since 1.5 years ago. I just want a good kickstart no matter which way I have chosen and decided for my path.

Let me share with you guys about my clumsiness this morning in the airport. And I also want to give highest degree of compliments to our Malaysia police force. This morning after I had past through the custom officers, I proceed to the part where inspections of hand carried luggage to the plane conducted by police force. And I'm supposed to take out the electronic devices for inspection. I then take out my iPad and went through the inspection. And bloody hell, I just take my backpack and went off straight away. I left my iPad at the inspection point and walk slowly to the duty free shop to check out some of the perfumes. About 30 mins later, I was queueing up to pay and that is when I realized where the heck is my iPad. I ran back to the inspection point and all the police officers were there and said I left my iPad. They kept it safely at the table & I was so grateful to them. We all know that human being is always filled or seduced by the evil of greed. Anyone could say the iPad belongs to them or the police officers can just kept it & said no iPad was there. However, they kept them nicely for me. They did lectured me in a moderate harsh way saying how could I be so careless left my iPad. They also warned me to take good care of my belongings in UK. That's was really my fault and all of them were showing concern for me going UK alone and worried that I will left my belongings carelessly again. A loud applause to the police force, and I really have to give compliments on them on this.

I'm enjoying red wine right now while typing this post on my iPad. And I couldn't imagine how bad my mood will be if I have lost my iPad prior to my flight. In fact, I could not even enjoy myself when I'm in UK, what more to say an upcoming Europe trip. I'm always a lucky boy although shits do happened around me sometimes I'm always blessed to have good family members around and my foster parents & family. So I'm always proud to tell others, if you have a good parents, please be envy of my because I have my parents and my foster parents to care for me. Ha-ha!

I have not brought the memory stick adaptor and I gotta see when I can upload the photos from my cameras. Brought 2 cameras this time and hope more photos can be captured. Another 1 more hour to reach UK. I pray that everything would be fine when I'm passing through the UK customs. UK Border Agency had strengthen the rules and restrictions for foreigners enter UK. If you read the news, mainly is because more & more illegal immigrants are working there, used holiday as an excuse to enter UK but did not leave UK after that. Moreover, they would be sending monies back their home country causing the fluctuations of the pound sterlings. Finger crossed! Let's hope everything would turn out to be fine.

That's all for now. Will write soon. Take care people!

God bless! Cheers!

Goodbye Malaysia, Hello UK!

Goodbye 2011 Chinese New Year

Greeting to my long abandoned blog & also to my lovely readers, I doubt there'll be any left. Oh well, 2011 has started out a little overly hectic. Thank God that I'm still able to spend Chinese New Year with a peaceful mind without much things to be bothered. My Final Year Project had finally passed up & I'll be keeping my fingers cross till the day I got the grading back for it. It is such a pain in the ass to get it done. It is part of the reason that I couldn't spare much time to blog when I'm doing the report day and night for God knows how long. I was superb hyper the moment it was all done and all I know was I need to enjoy my Chinese New Year with a blast.

So, Chinese New Year was over and everyone is back to the reality unwillingly. However, I'm wondering whether I am part of the group a not and that's because I do not even feel it was Chinese New Year and in a blink of eye it's over. I was like Oh-My-God! Perhaps it's true that the older you get, you less you enjoy this celebration. Nothing is great happened but shit does, even around the Chinese New Year corner. Grandma was admitted to the hospital and I feel so thankful to almighty God that she is fine now. Red packets money was at satisfactory level I must say.

I couldn't think of anything else to blog, and so, let the pictures do the talking on behalf of me.

Satay that I have been craving for so long!

Korea, Go! Go! Go! (Part i)

Hello readers! I'm going to post the super long overdue photos from my previous Korea trip. Yes, it's like finally, after procrastinated for months. Oh well, the reason why I have not been bothered to post this up is actually because of the substantial number of photos that approximately 15.8GB of photos in my hard drive. It takes a little hard work to screen the photos & also edit them then sharing it out to all of you. I have actually partitioned the photos into few parts, and this is of course part 1 of the entire Korea trip of mine. I screened for the first time, second time, and third time and trying my best to select the best photos that can describe my experience and then I found that it's like 589 photos should be posted on part 1. It's like - Oh my God! Ha-ha, I uploaded 63 photos at this post and is like only 10.7% of the entire part 1 photo. Do your calculation, and you would find I might take 10 posts to do part 1. What if I have 10 parts and it'll be like 1000 post? Ha-ha! Finger crossed, wishing I have the determination to post all the nice photos & my memory in Korea to all of you.

I have been talking about my Korea trip & it was indeed an unforgettable experience for me in my tertiary education, starting from applying to this Korean Language & Culture Program that need me to write an essay on why do I interested on this program in about 300 words, and I wrote 3 bloody pages exceeding 1261 words. Ha-ha! And then, I was called to an interview by the university officers and also video conference with the vice-president of the university. I was so nervous and keep calling to check when is the results would be out. According to the officers, there are 50-60 applicants from my campus & only 6 were called to the interview (I'm not sure about 3 other campuses though). Thank God, I'm the one & only who are selected one by the university for this program. I called home excitedly and inform both my parents about this good news. Of course, they are proud of me and commanded me to do a thanksgiving prayer.

Throughout the application process until the moment I'm on the plane, it was like so unbelievable. And, I was not feeling so well on the night my parents sent me to KLIA. Most probably is due to the sleepless night that I had one night before went for late night movies and came back to pack until the morning. Rushed back home & had breakfast with my sister before she went to Singapore. After that, I went to do some last minute shopping for my trip. It was almost time and I didn't have any rest for the past 24-26 hours that time. So, it wasn't really that comfy being on the plan and I was having problem sleeping also.

Anyway, not too much to write and let's the photos do the talking for me. Warning: A terrible excessively amount of photos below, ha-ha! Enjoy! Cheers.

God Bless, people!
