Phuket Beer

In a Japanese bar, how does an American pronounce "Phuket"?
"Phuk-it"

Had a great time drinking sake and eating sushi last night. Just don't ask how much =P.

Grr..

I dislike being lazy. It's not a very nice feeling. But that's what I get when I speed too fast, and I finish everything faster than I should have. So does this mean that I will get to sleep longer tomorrow? No, it does not, because I will still get up, and go to he library and do more work, till it is time for the sun to set. But thankfully, I am not alone. At least now, there's a whole bunch of us to crack our heads, and when things get beyond our collective heads, go and look for the lecturer.

I just love/hate it when we start doing a problem at 2 pm and only finish it at 6pm. But when the lecturer does it, finishes it in 5 minutes.

6 Month Exposure

Ever wondered what a photograph exposed for 6 months would look like? This is how.



It was taken in Bristol, UK. This picture was exposed from the 17th of December 2007 to the 21st of June 2008, via a pinhole camera with a piece of photographic paper lined inside it.


Anyways, sorry for the lack of proper updates. I've been rather busy lately. I hope that I'll get some time soon.

Milky Way

This has definitely got to be among the most breathtaking picture I've ever seen. This shows the milky way, as seen from Hawaii.

Tiga Pintu Bawah

And in other news, this is what he had to say.

You know what I'm going to do?

I am going to attend a Britney Spears concert. That's what I'm going to do.

No actually, I'll skip an astronomy class *gasps* and go for 3 Doors Down, this Wednesday. But I'll only go if Matthew or Wayne is going.

Then, I'll skip another astronomy class *double gasps, while tearing my head loose* and watch Motley Crue, Hinder and Theory of a Deadman.

Why do the concerts have to be on bloody Wednesdays??

But you know what? I'll go watch Britney instead because she's performing on a Saturday and I don't have to skip astronomy. Then, I'll get to see her shake booty, live. How cool is that?

Spark Explode Die!

What do you get when you put a bunch of Malaysians together in a Chinese New Year party?

Absolute mayhem!

I had such a great time today, laughing, telling jokes, talking about Malaysian politics and just being absolutely loud with some of my best Malaysian mates.

I might go for a 3 Doors Down concert this Wednesday *fingers crossed* and Daytona 500
in about 2 weeks time.

Bring it on baby!

Spark? Explode? Die!!! hahaha

I Rode A Bull

Listening to these songs, I can't help but let my mind wander to some of the most enjoyable times I ever had. I was speaking to Kennard the other day, and he was talking to me about the orientation night at INTI and how it was a complete blast. There was rain, great bands, good sound systems, and mosh pits. But what caught his attention the most was how similar it was to last year. He kept telling me about how he was reminded of our band, The Rodeo Riders, and how he missed the good times we had practicing, and just living together as a band. In many ways, I could relate to what he was saying because I felt the same way. And in many ways, I feel like reliving those moments one more time, just for the fun of it, because those were among some of the best times in my entire life. Days where I felt like I was a part of something. Days where I could look into the eyes of another person and know that I could count on his or her words. Days where I could sit at a table and know that no one tried to put cyanide in my food. Sure, there were some difficult times then. There were those that got on my nerves and whose tongues were never the intentions of their minds. But overall, I took it all with a pinch of salt, and always had my head pointed forwards because I knew that I had something to look forward to. Something to dream and hope about.

It's hard not to think this way, when lately life alone has been like fighting a battalion with a squad. Don't get me wrong. I am having a great time here, meeting new challenges everyday, and trying to get the best out of whatever I have. But sometimes I feel like I am staring down a loaded barrel that is staring right back at me, and could or could not blow up at any moment. Unpredictable

I know that plenty of good things are coming my way. I am sure of that. I have some really great friends here. But, I just need the ground to stop shaking as much as it is, at least for a while.
