Taylors?

Went to Taylors Lakeside campus ytd for a tour after lunch with Jason and Yao Huang. Overall it was pretty good. Library was the best part of it definitely. The place was cooling and nice. Lecture hall was great, since it is equipped with centralized airconds making it even more cooling especially on a hot day.

Kandang lembu beside the campus! Lolz, that's a little "Perlis" over there. But no match when it comes to people, leisure and fun with a huge price tag. Engineering courses are almost close to RM13,000 per semester. Well, if only I was that lucky haha...

Would anyone even follow this =.=''

Final semester results!

For 3 years, the Marcus have managed to endure much suffering and pain in his effort of studying really hard for his papers. The only reason he is striving really hard is because of one thing - To escape UniMAP for the next 3 years of his degree programme. Nothing has ever kept him going all out.

As he was watching the computer screen loading the webpage accessing to his results, he was a little surprised to obtained a 4.00 for his Industrial Training programme which takes up 6 credit hours. Expected a 3.67 (A-), his prayers were answered. Amen to that!

Since first class honours would either be 3.67/3.75, he managed to pass both borders with an average CGPA of 3.78. He felt a sense of relieve after all those challenges he has endured as an urban kid living in a kampung area. The Marcus is really grateful to all his friends and family members that has helped, supported, and encouraged him in all aspects of his studies & life. Thank you so much :)

Reunion Trip @Genting

Day #1 - Where it all begins

Us the ex-form 6ers from SMK Seafield reunites! Ying Wai had organized this last year but I didn't make it. It's like a 'must' for him to visit Genting every year. There are 14 of us in total where we stayed in First World Hotel - 3 days 2 night. My room mates are Bryan & Jen Chong. Took us approximately 1 hour for us to check in upon arrival.

1
They entertained us :)


It's funny how Yew Ken requested them to sing "Sorry, sorry" by Super Junior and "Gee" by SNSD. "We can't sing korean songs" said the clowns. Haha, it's okay. You can just sing the english version of it (buffalaxed). I'll freaking drop money into your hat for sure!

2

Nothing much happen on the first day. Most of us were either sleeping or walking around. I was sleeping cause I took the frigging cough mixture. Word spread around so fast. It came to a point where everyone was just coming to me and saying "Hey, you sleep sleep only ah whole evening!". Haha, look I can't help it. I was unwell but thank goodness I didn't allow it to ruin my whole trip.


Day #2 - The Climax

Had breakfast early in the morning with the gang. Something really funny happen! I know it's a little difficult to differentiate between sugar and salt, but nothing beats the one and only man who took pepper instead of creamer for his coffee. Here's our winner, Mr. Pang UKen!!!

The picture says it all


Alright, so here is how it all happened:
  1. Our friend put two packets of "sugar" into his coffee without realizing it!
  2. Next, he put in his "creamer". Guess what? He even told us this "Eh, why the creamer black colour?, ahh dun care la". HAHAHA
  3. Once the recipe is completed, the dude decided to have a taste of his very own cocktail.
  4. One sip of his coffee and he goes "Eeeeeuuuuu!!!, What the heck" *Take a look at the packets he threw into his coffee*. "Salt & pepper!?? #$$@%&*!!!" Hahahaha, omg all of us started laughing like there's no tomorrow

The group was then divided into two - Theme park & Random. I was with the random group cause the theme park was jam packed it seems. Played bumper car and bowling. Rest of the time, jalan jalan cari fun.

This picture is awesome!

Later at night, all of us gathered and head to the arcade. I personally think that the only fun thing in the arcade is the basketball and punching game. After that, some of us wanted to try our luck entering the casino. The successful ones were Wai Kit, Ken Nie, Shao Li and finally Ying Wai. If you asked me about the ones who didn't make it through, this is it.

5
Tak puas hati!

6
It's depressing :(


Ditched, thrown aside and so called "Kids waiting for parents to come out of casino", we waited patiently for our friends to get out of the casino. There's also one thing funny about Vivek and Yew Ken. Yew Ken tried to sneak in with Vivek but the guard stopped Vivek instead and ask him for his PASSPORT!!! I think Yew Ken kantoi-ed later but guess he slipped through the first guard. It looks as if Vivek was an immigrant Zzz damn babi man those guards hahaha

night

Something evil happen! This round, See Ya-Pei the innocent girl crushed a moth with her foot accidentally. The poor moth was white in color and was regarded as a paper by some =.=''. Yew Ken wasn't happy, so he decided to say a little prayer for the moth while speaking to Ya Pei.

3b
The little monster haha!

7
Look at its blood...


Did some jump shots, chats and enjoy the cool breeze outside Genting & Highland hotel. The weather wasn't as cooling as last time anymore. But anyway, we enjoyed the company and fun we had together. Since it was our last night, some of them decided not to sleep but to Black Jack all night long till 5am.

Day #3 - The Final Chapter

I slept all the way from 5am - 11.00am. Woke up and finished up the buns I've bought 2 days ago. Later, the girls came in and we had the jumping photo shoot on the bed. Nasib baik tak kena kipas!

8
Jen Chong is like super excited haha

9
After so many tries, finally :D

10
Grace & Pek Yee


Since we have about 4 more hours to go before heading back to KL, the group decided play bumper car. I wasn't cornered by anyone this time. Guess what happen the day before? I was cornered by all 4 friends of mine at the same time! Stuck for about 10 secs and more. Teruk kena aim siut.

12
Friendship for the past 3 years and still growing!

Since it was my first time taking the Flying Coaster, I felt goosebumps all over. Pretty nice feeling since you don't get the thrill that often. It was awesome but the potong stim part was Grace laughing all the way! I was screaming like a women and she just kept on laughing =.=''. Warned by Ying Wai, proven by me.

14
My 1st ride of the Flying Coaster. Yes I'm noob

13
Yew Ken, Me, Vivek and Ying Wai

16
And she was still laughing!!!

Later, some of us headed to MacD and some went to KFC for lunch. Two pictures were caught in MacD's. One was caught without knowing what happen exactly haha!

18
What a real men should do?

shao li

If you look at Shao Li's expression, it's just priceless! While I was facing the camera towards her, she gave a nice sweet smile. But things get ugly when I said "I was taking video!". Hahaha! She fell for it...

19

Headed back home around 4.00pm. Worst part is the KTM station...as always? Though I was coughing and feeling tired, it was worth all those fun, company and joy. I'm just grateful to know each and everyone of them from SMK Seafield (2007) in just 2 months.

Karaoke @Neway

Karaoke session is finally here after so long. In fact, this is my first visit to Neway. All the while, RedBox RedBox and that blardy cina place jkjk. At first, I was told to pay RM6.00++ for drinks and karaoke but I think the promotion ended quite some time ago. The current price now is RM18++ with food and drinks per person.

Grace supposed to come, but she had driving lessons! So, it's just Kevin, Chen, Pek Yee, Jamie and myself. Food was okay...pass. Drinks were awesome cause most of us had 2 rounds of drinks for free. I will be needing em' so much since I practically sang almost every song that was picked in the list.

We even came across one song that we didn't even know who picked it and how it's supposed to be sang. So Kevin and I decided to follow the lyrics and sing with our own tunes and vocals. Laughing and singing like crazy. The girls were practically falling of the sofas haha!

DSC00368

DSC00370


The place was good. Songs were great. Lyrics are complete. They even have new songs on the list! It was better than I expected. What more? Super spacious and comfortable. Looks like I'm gonna stick to Neway for the time being. RM20 + 5 hours of karaoke session, what more can I ask for? :D

Telemarketing

Had been working in an event management company for 4 days. I wouldn't say that this is a telemarketing job, more like a confirmation of a certain product purchased. Basically, my job is to call 15% out of 500 over phone numbers. The purpose of the call is to ensure that the correct customer's database has been entered into the Nokia's warranty card system.

telemarketing


Packed with enthusiasm, my colleague and I started calling as many numbers as we could. The script is given, so just follow the script as the call proceeds. On the 1st day itself, I finished about 250 phone numbers - 3 sheets. Same thing all over again for the next few days. But on the 3rd day, I realized that I went too fast, finishing quicker than expected. 5 days duration but gonna complete in maybe 3 1/2 days? That means I'll be paid for only 3 1/2 days!!! RM70 x 3 1/2 Zzz.

The sad thing is that the company emphasizes more on duration than progression. Imagine if each and everyone of them would take their own sweet time to complete their work. How are we supposed to improved if we aren't aggressive enough? I got really disappointed that my efforts didn't pay off.


Problems:

Not much scolding or complaints throughout my work. Exclusive Telecommunications company is really bad at their database in the sense that there are repetition of phone numbers on different sheets! Imagine calling the same person 2x or more. Confirm kena marah la dei. So if I stumbled into a familiar name, I'll search for the person's number in a few sheets. It really spoils your mood when you're scolded for nothing - that's our job anyway

I still remembered this one clearly:

"Why you call so many times ah! I am not using any Nokia handphones anymore! I am using I-phone ahhh!!"

Ever since then, I made sure I look carefully as I choose the numbers which I am about to call.

Ben's birthday

Had a BBQ potluck party for Ben on Saturday. Since it's potluck, everyone should be bringing food, drinks, and etc from home right? Haha, sad to say...NO! Only few of us that actually bring stuff from home. Earlier, went to Ben's place to "surprise splash" him but failed. The guys were slow or was Ben's reaction too fast? Should have attacked him from both sides, but the bad side is that one of us is guaranteed wet! Who wants to take the risk? :D

Friends that I've made? Not much. Not to mentioned that most of them are like "working people" already. Chicken wings were awesome, so as for the lamb (not marinated). Haha. First time having bbq lamb without any form of marination on it!

I wish I had a meat tenderizer

The guys

Overall, it was pretty ok. Not too bad, not too good. Head back home around 10.00pm++? I forgot. Later, wanted to have some booze in Sidharth's place but I was reluctant to go as I have something on the following day. Gotta wake up at 6.00am imagine.

Window shopping

Went out with my ex-form 6 friend today. We were supposed to go to some warehouse sale in Sunway, but it was super jam. So we decided to just lepak and window shop at Pyramid instead. Not a big gathering this round. Just the few of us which is Jamie, Jen Chong, Ying Wai, Ping Ying, Yew Ken and myself.

DSC00355


Jamie was able to buy most of her stuffs and so as for Ying Wai. Yew Ken tried to convince me to get a Polo-T since it costs RM50 for two. Well, I didn't get it cause I didn't like the colour combination. Looks lala on me haha. Gotta be careful with my attire, total cautious and care! This is serious.

DSC00354


Had dinner at Sushi King. Udon was okay, but the rest is like so-so ni la. Not as great as last time anymore. No more Sushi King! Anywhere! I prefer ZanMai though. If there's extra money in my wallet...Zen Japanese Restaurant would be my selection. Went to Cotton On...pants were overpriced and the shirts are not that nice. Found a nice shirt with military details at Kitschen. But, it costs freaking RM90!!!

We had a great time together. Lotsa laughter and fun. We even sat down at Secret Recipe and laugh for freaking 30mins or more. All of us should be able to burn some fats today. Might assist in shaping my six packs too! Lol. That's all for today. Oh crap, I need to get something for my momma...
