Co-pilot killed, pilot injured in light aircraft crash
By : Zarina Abdullah

The wreckage of the Diamond Star DA40 light aircraft was found by the search-and-rescue team at 7.15am yesterday at Bukit Bidong in Merang, Setiu. — NST picture by Saifullizan Tamadi

KUALA TERENGGANU: The co-pilot of the ill-fated Diamond Star DA40 light aircraft was found dead while the pilot who suffered serious injuries, survived 14-hours of agony before being found trapped in the wreckage at 7.15am yesterday.
Muhammad Ariff Ahmad Fuad, 20, of Subang Jaya, Selangor, who was pinned to the chair in the cockpit, was believed to have been killed by the impact of the crash.

Meanwhile, Mohd Farid Abdullah, 21, of Bandar Baru, Sungai Buloh, Selangor, managed to crawl eight metres after he got out from the aircraft.

Mohd Farid, who was seriously injured, shouted in vain for help as the crash had occurred in the jungle and the nearest village, Rhu Tapai, a residential area for the hardcore poor, was about four kilometres away.

Rescuers, who started combing the jungles in Tepoh near the Bukit Jong quarry after receiving a report at 5.10pm on Wednesday, found the wreckage at Bukit Bidong in Merang, Setiu.
The rescuers had to depend on information from the villagers who said they saw the aircraft flying low and suspected that it had crashed into a forest area.

State acting police chief Datuk Jalaluddin Abd Rahmad said Mohd Farid was sent to the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital soon after he was found and the body of Muhammad Ariff was taken to the hospital 45 minutes later for a post-mortem.

He said Mohd Farid was being warded for observation.

Jalaluddin said 118 rescuers from the Kuala Terengganu police contingent, Fire and Rescue Department and Civil Defence Department were involved in the operation.

"We had to stop the operation at midnight and resumed around 6.30am yesterday. We spotted the wreckage at 7.15 am," he said when met near the crash site yesterday.

A source said a Nuri helicopter was also seen hovering around the crash site at 4am and is believed to have spotted the aircraft first before informing the rescuers of the exact location.

On Wednesday, the two-seater aircraft had taken off from the Sultan Mahmud Airport for Langkawi International Airport at 4.40pm.

Ten minutes later the police received a call that the aircraft was missing. Immediately a search and rescue team was formed.

There are three things one should never do:

a. Take God in vain
b. Dishonour your parents
c. Give someone false hope

Hope!
The jewel of existence
How you glow in the night sky
Your presence lights the way
On the dark, stony road,
hope is the guiding light.

Yet light not another's candle
Just to quench it to darkness
For it is better never to have seen hope
than to learn of its falsehood.

Why did you deny it?
You gave me fragile dreams
They have since been shattered.
I see your happiness in them
And the pieces wound mine heart
False hope blinded the obvious
Occluding what was clearly seen
Thoughts now dwell on might have beens.

Hope!
How cruel you are
The scum of the universe
You give warmth, but should your light go out
You are bitter to tongue, you stain the heart
Should you be false, you stain the soul.

I am sorry my friend, the fault was ours shared.
Forgive my bitterness, I try to rejoice for you.

wheres everyone??~

my college..ntg more but a block of shophouse. ppl at inti and st joe should be grateful... no need to talk abt ppl at nz or canada ah

if ur wondering y we're wearing weird clothes, its because we're having a program called Hari Citra Budaya. I was doing pameran alat muzik tradisional. i wish i could wear sumthg more "chinesey" =p alvin say i look like an apek in kung fu hustle.. sigh

and i thut i looked good... haha jk
This is my photo taken with a few of the girls here in kutpm. *wink*

my life, my music in shah alam

2005-10-05T23:20:00.000-07:00

-
it's been a long time since i blogged here..again. aha =p neway, now that i haf internet here in my apartment, right beside my bed, i've told myself over and over again that i shld blog. well, here i am, to tell u guys what's been happening in my life so far.

i've finally settled down to life here in kutpm (kolej universiti teknologi dan pengurusan malaysia). and more importantly i've gotten used to the notion of going indon. before this i was really unhapy with d prospect of going indon.. especially when sum ppl i noe told me right in my face that they wont look for me when they're sick, the reason being i graduated from indon. sigh but tats reality, i guess.

i've never really told u guys abt my friends here. well, d chinese students here in kutpm are all really bright students. most of them who are going indon are also 2nd intakers. they did not take more than 10 subjs, and so they got dumped to indon, just like me. although all the 2nd intakers here got straight A1's... sigh. neway u guys can imagine d competition here.. aahh personally i feel its more "sengit" than d competition in 5A. really.. i think its because everyone here harbour d hope that if they do well for d foundation course, they can change country or something. I myself have thought about that often enough. =p

there's something that's quite cool that happened towards me here in kutpm. ahah im gaining d reputation of a love doctor. haha ppl treat me like i have lots of xperience in love. i've tried to tell ppl d opposite, about how shy i was back in my sch days (for those of u who noe me, u noe that sometimes i shiver when im talking to girls--- ah, d embarassment then..) and so now they call me the pro who doesnt have any xperience. quite true. haha so next time u guys have any heartaches, remember that im here. =p i'll give u guys special discount.. =p

today is wednesday. i just got back from my friend's apartment just now. went there to do assignments. that's d stupid thing here. so many many assignments till u haf no time to study. btw, my exam is in less than 2 weeks time. next next mon. sigh and 2 weeks ago was my mid sem exam. and now less than 1 month later, my finals. our teachers here have to rush through many many chapters. no prob for them, cos they simply teach. but for us, the students, we have so much to study. sigh especially for bio and msian studies (its sejarah).

well, that's all from me for now. hope to hear from u guys. take care all!!

Your Birthdate: April 4

Being born on the 4th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer.

You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.

Sincere and honest, you are a serious and hard working individual.

Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.

The number 4 has something of an inhibiting effect on your ability to show and express affections, as feeling are very closely regulated and controlled.

You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.

There is a good deal of rigidity and stubbornness associated with the number 4.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

An experience redefined

Woo-hoo!

Les Miserables

2005-09-03T06:24:00.000-07:00

Hey guys... haven't heard any updates in a while? All fine whereever you guys are?

I've just completed a great week of my life... haha. Last week we had school off to do our production of Les Miserables. I play Grantaire, a student in the French Revolution. Pretty good fun, I never realised I liked stage so much. It was really cool - we had a really good effects team who managed to get terrific lighting and fog effects. One downside of that though, I now have grown quite a bit darker due to the oh-so-hot lights and spotlights.

Apparently it was quite well received, because we got people writing in telling us how much they liked it. There was this lady who wrote and said that she was crying in some scenes and she was coming again before the week was over. Man, good times! We had standing ovations for 3 of our four nights, which gave us a definite boost to the spirits. Very satisfying.

It was pretty tiring though, we did shows in the morning and at night, and we didn't really get much sleep. I drank lots of coffee, which helped a lot, and took a couple of Vocalzone tablets to clear the throat. And the make up was sooo awful! We needed make up for every show - fresh layers twice a day!! And let me tell you one thing, stage make up is way worse than you think because it's meant to accent your features under the intense lighting, so it's exaggerated heavily. Apparently without makeup, you look like a ghost on stage. So I ended up struggling to take mascara and eyeliner off every night... damn annoying. Plus the heaps and heaps of foundation... Take my advice guys - NEVER PUT MAKE UP ON. Bad idea.

After our final show on Friday night, which was fantastic, we had an afterparty with plenty of pizza and drinks. And after that, we headed over to a guy's place for an after-afterparty (apparently it a tradition) for some dancing and alcohol. Was pretty good fun, all in all, though it's really sad that its over. Oh well. It was good while it lasted!

Nyah nyah nyah nyah! Whee!

2005-07-31T01:51:00.000-07:00

Hey guys... how's it going? Nice to hear from you all! Kwang, good on you for turning it down. I don't think I could have done that if it happened to me... :)

Just wanted to update you guys on what's happening in my life right now. I just had my high school formal (or also known as ball, or prom) yesterday night. It was great!!! Hahahha.. I tell you, I'm going to be high for a whole week, man. WOOHOOO!!! :) Was dancing all night... I took Cynthia Yap (ex-Teresian) to the formal with me. I think we both enjoyed ourselves.

Charma, the live band was pretty good. I was quite impressed. And the venue was good too - it was at the town hall! Damn syok man!! Very cool! Hahahahaha! (sorry, I'm still high) And I took lots of photos too... yippee....

I took my UMAT ( Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences Admissions Test) exam last Wednesday. It was... ok I guess. Not the best paper I've ever taken in my life. I didn't quite have enough time to complete Section 3, the non-verbal puzzles section. There's a type of question in that section where there's a big picture made of weird odd shapes. And out of this mess, you have to spot specific shapes. It's sooooo hard... Results are coming out in September, so I guess I'll know how well I did then.

I'm pretty busy now in school, because I signed up to be in the school musical. Right now I'm in the tenor section of the ensemble... which sounds pretty good, if I say so myself. Musical week is in about 5 weeks time, so not much time left! There are rehearsals at lunchtime on Monday, Thursday and Friday every week. And again after school on Fridays and on Sundays too. I'm quite looking forward to musical! Hehe.

Plus, I have tutorials after school 3 times a week - Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Yay to me.

Never Gone - corny.....oh well

2005-07-29T11:19:00.000-07:00

Hey, how are u guys doing? Looks like you're having lots of fun and putting on lots of weight. For me, I think i'm doing better than most :D ...not as good as some :(

Time really flies. I've been in Canada for 7 months and 4 days now. Left Malaysia on Christmas Day last year.

So, what have I been up to? Nothing, just goofing around. Nah, actually I've been quite active especially since the summer hols started. Definitely more active than I was in Malaysia. I've been playing basketball, swimming, kayaking, canoeing...skating. SKATING??? I know, I know. When I tell people I'm skating, they're always like, "IN SUMMER???" Ok, it's not like I come from a place where they actually have seasons. But come to think of it, I think it kinda makes sense since you can't play basketball or kayak or go to the beach in winter. And because of all this outdoor activities, I actually have a tan now, which I think is very sexy. :P

After living in Canada for some time, here's my review on Canada...particularly T-dot, the supposedly cooler name for Toronto:

What I LOVE about Canada
1) Downtown - Downtown is so cool. It's INSANE!!! There's everything downtown. Shopping malls (lots of 'em), Nathan Phillips Square, CN Tower, Skydome.....EVERYTHING! Oh, and really beautiful buildings aka skyscrapers.
2) Cleanliness - Canada is just really clean. I'm not sure whether it's the people or the government who spends a lot on cleanliness but I haven't gone anywhere that I have to tiptoe or hold my breath. One thing asians have to work on - CLEANLINESS
3) Public transport - Very, very efficient. Buses outside my home comes every 10 mins and outside my school, it's every 6 mins. Very organized. You can get to virtually anywhere by transit. Oh, buses and subways are also air-conditioned.
4) People - It's probably the culture here, but people here are really friendly and lively. Complete strangers can just greet you and just start a conversation with you. Cashiers greet you with happy voices and they actually sound happy serving you even if they're just acting.
5) Weather - I really love the weather in Canada, even though Americans think it either rains or snows in Canada. Yes, in winter, it's freezing cold. It drops to like -40 degrees in winter. But in spring, summer and fall, the weather is perfect. Not too hot (high of 33 degrees) and not too cold (low of 10 degrees). But in spring, when the weather is around 20 degrees, it feels so good because it feels like you're in and air-con room everywhere.

What ANNOYS me about Canada
1) Pricing - This is probably the most annoying thing here in Canada. Everything here is so freakin $$$$$. Everything here costs the same as in Kuching TIMES THREE. If you can find anything that costs 10 dollars or less is "cheap". A McChicken Meal and a dollar to make it large and a sundae plus tax would give a total of 15 dollars. Still considered cheap. And then you realize, you can eat at Hilton Kuching or Merdeka Palace with this kind of money. Everything is taxed and if you don't tip at least 15%, you're cheap. Oh, another thing, everything ends with 99 cents. I find that so annoying. (Tip: Don't bother converting currencies. You'll end up much happier that way.)
2) Toronto Maple Leafs (im a lightnings fan) - I don't know what's wrong with the people here, but they're like super fanatics of the Maple Leafs. In winter, everyone wears Maple Leafs caps or jackets or earmuffs and they carry around the maple leafs bags year round. Sheesh
3) Weather paranoid people - In summer when temperature goes above 30 degrees (but never higher than 33 degrees) they declare heatwave and they make such a big fuss about the heat. For their information, it's that hot in Malaysia everyday. But it's also a good thing because swimming pools are opened for free to the public until 11 at night when they declare heatwave.
4) Canadians - I think Canadians are just a bunch of fags. Don't you think so? They legalized equal marriage.
5) French - I'm sorry for Canadians because they live in a country where people actually speak French.

Here are a few pictures of Toronto:

CN Tower and Metrohall

City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square

Downtown Toronto WOOHOO!!!!

For those desperate for a pic of me(I wish):

From what you can see, I haven't changed, at least not significantly.

Ok, I think this is enough for now.

Oh, before I leave, just want to make some things clear. To the people who asked me whether I have to study any new language or whether Canadians speak Canadian: Canada is an English speaking country, so I don't have to learn any new language, and NO, there's no such thing as Canadian...the language. I don't know, but is it supposed to be some trick question???

LATER

2005-07-28T01:16:00.000-07:00

well, well..

it certainly has been awhile since i last blogged..sorry guys bt was really really so busy what with homework, presentations and etc etc..

after that, i dropped norman off at the st jo church to get his car..from there we went to his house cos we wanted to go insect hunting for my bio kerja kursus..huhuhu~ lip leong oso joined us.. from norman's house we walked on foot to the kampung-kampung area in the bdc area where got lots of undergrowth and forests..haha..we thankfully weren't let down..by 12 o'clock, we had a fine collection of butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, and a leaf hopper... nt to say lots of plants for my bio herbarium... :) at least that made my day.. bck at norm's house..we pinned the dragonflies to polystyrene with pins..haha.. bt first we knocke the insects out wif alcohol.. but this norman ah, so so so cruel!! rite lipleong? the dragonfly not dead yet he already go cucuk its toraks..my goodness..looking at the poor dragonfly writhing away in pain...eeeeh~ cant describe it...cant imagine how the poor thing was feeling.. norman ar..how could u be like that..u ah.. u oppose killing animals for meat bt you go and impale a live dragonfly!! lolz!! haha.. and a reminder to all of you..dont go insect huntin in the open without sunblock during 10-12 am.. ur gonna get a really bad sunburn..hahakz..bt it gave me a rather nice tan tho :p

Friday , 17th June 2005

well, today was the anugerah penyampain hadiah galakan pelajar cemerlang yayasan sarawak..total waste of time i tell u..i reached hilton at round 7.30 (oh yes, i parked in HILTON..haha..cost me rm4 nia) in my sky blue proton..hehe.. there, i went straight to lobby where almost everyone was gathered.. saw naza, afiq, lenis, aslan,gary shahrull, jia hsien..etc..there...man, we were like standing around just plain talkin for like nearly 2 hours!! stupid lar..nxt time i shud haf known instead of coming so early..bleh~ bt managed to meet lots of my frens from other schools tho..yay :) oh yea marc, caryn was there.. hehe.. and sam tsan....i told u to come didnt i??? she was there, rite in front of me!!!! and guys,for sam tsan's case, im not referring to sam tsan, its about another girl who im not supposed to tell u guys about till he approves of it..ahhakz...
neway, that aside, the YB - adenan satem only came at 10am..jeez~ whole ceremony only took like stupid 45 minutes nia...was quite fast cos they just called out the name of the sch and then the headmaster goes up to take the whole stack of certs for us..all we do is to troop behind mr pan and just shake hands wif adenan satem..bleargh* but then, yayasan did provide free meal coupons at sugarbun tho..we were entitled to one soft drink, a beef burger, savoury rice and 1 chicken..kinda sad, huh? so me, lipleong, nazar, norman, byron and lenis all went to the sugarbun near our sch to have lunch..feels great to catch up wif them :p
after that, went back to sch cos had VAD meeting..sien eh* haha...just join for the sake of doin so..lolz..had to skip iscf cos of dat..waaa~~ at 2, had prefects interview!!! hahah.. surprised? lolz..norman, joshua and lipleong oso kena..for ex-prefects, you know hw its done..they even recyled the questions we used to interview them last time. lols! my interviewers were nice..din ask me to do any weird or stupid stuff hahah.. my questions were like, what do u deem important in life and why?, why do you want to be a prefect, if you were a senior....blah blah... BUT my favourite was this.. do you find any weaknesses in the current 2004-05 prefectorial board? haha..i had a fun time hurling my opinions and scarcasm at the panel..cant blame me cant i? the prefects this time memang useless one...huhuhu..no offence norman or cryst, if ur reading this. :p

The Day when Tsan comes back.... :p

2005-06-10T03:15:00.000-07:00

heys heys...
i reckon today was one of the most fun days during these 2 weeks of sch hols~ haha..shows how boring and sien my life has been..lolz...

well, started off the day by being kicked out of bed by my mum at 8 am..gosh man..8 am durin a sch holiday!!! jeez~ after breakfeast, had to vacuum and mop the whole downstairs..did u guys notice how clean and spotless it was when u came? haha... (",) round 10 lidat i got a sms from our dear ol' tsan!! haha..good to haf him bck after a long long while..has it been dat long?? hmrs.. i just wonder how time flies so fast.. bt this tsan ar, haih* so "luan" one..cannot make up his mind..keep on changin the program..in the end i oso susah haf to msg lipleong and alvin so many times..huhuhu.. :p i wont go thru all the details of what happened dis morn..gt other stuff to tok about..

neway, in the end, we all just decided to meet at rod's house at 1.30.. ah, hvnt been there in ages..haha.. from there, we all sat in tsan's car to star cineplex..only 4 this time..me, alvin, rod and of course tsan himself..others couldnt make it due to unforseen circumstances :p hehe.. actually we wanted to watch mr and mrs smith...bt since we were a bit late, we couldnt get the seats..sigh* heck, at the cineplex, there was a trailer of Initial-D showin on the big screen near the popcorn and drinks stall( im sure u guys noe wad im talkin about) ..and so naturally.... me and alvin were rooted at the spot wif our eyes on the trailer..haha..talk about being mad wif cars.. so tsan bought tickets to another movie..at first i tot it was madagascar...bt it turned out to be The Interpreter..starrin nicole kidman and sean penn..haha..

since it was still kinda early for the movie to start, we went down to the arcade..where me and alvin immediately made a beeline to the Initial-D game..huhuhu..man, first time i try it..its harder to drift than i tot..aiks...me drivin a manual mitsubishi evo III so sucky with so many ppl behind staring at me..eee~ then i see alvin drivin his toyota trueno a.k.a hachi-roku like so cool lidat..kinda like takumi himself driving..lolz alvin!! haha~ bt i guess it was fun tryin it out..after dat we had to enter the cineplex 4 as our movie was startin at 3pm.. the interpreter is kinda oklah to me..the story line is quite interesting..bout politics within the united nations and stuff like dat..bt if ur expecting cool gung-ho fight scenes and US secret service with cool gadgets other than a pair of binoculars, than sorry lar..bt the bus bomb scene was kinda neat tho~ hehe
bt then, the movie had a rather nice ending tho..huhuhu...

movie ended at 5++ , so we all had to rush to my house for my sake cos i had maths tuition at 6!!!! lolz..the presence of traffic jam everywhere didnt help much..ahaha..so after pickin up my tuition stuff from my house, tsan drove us all bck to roddy's house, where i took my sky-blue proton to tuition..

at tuition, even more surprises!! ben kon suddenly walked into the middle of lesson with a bag of murukku!!!! haha~ boy, weren't we all super surprised..i nearly fell out of my chair honestly... reason for comin bck? apparently he wanted to settle his appeal letters to jpa..hmrs..y couldnt he just do it there in melaka i wonder..haha..no offence kon, bt great to see u back again..after a week...haha..didnt even have time to miss u yet :) bout the murukku, me, eugene ha and saiesh were havin a good time munchin on in while workin on our complex numbers questions..lolz.. haha..at least that that made class a bit more bearable..bt anyway, kon's goin bck to MMU this sun..

well, for the fun part, after tuition, i once again headed off to rod's house..where i was to meet up once again wif tsan, alvin, sam wong and of course roderick lar..lipleong was supposed to come, bt due to misscommunication, he wasnt able to make it..aiks* sorry man lipleong..next time i'll call u instead of sms-ing u..safer that way..we were all supposed to meet at 10.00..bt wat time did the VIP ( sam tsan) appear?? ohoho..nt 10 or 15 minutes late, bt an hour late!!! cis~ as rod said..nolah, waited for u a little while nia..1hour ONLY!! haha... no worries tsan.. :) then we all bundled up in sam wong's wira to kenyalang..unfortunately since we were sooo late already ..time: 11++ , tsan's kolo mee stall was already closed..dat didnt dampen our spirits however, cos as desperate as tsan was for kolo mee, we headed to open air market!! haha..me and tsan had kolo mee while alvin, rod and sam wong settled for 'gu bak' mee..( beef noodles) and washed down wif cold soya bean milk and 'siaw bee'..

on the way bck, we were soo lucky to spot a subaru wrx impreza!! haha..now how often do u see one on the road? hehe..blue colour..bt illegal one..cos got no license plate..jeez~ bt super fast man that car..left us all in the smoke..man, by the time we reached the hospital junction, that car had alreay dissapeared round the corner..haha..sam wong's 1.3 litre wira sadly no match for it..(prob due cos to the car to heavy wif all of us in it) haha.. more details on the mysterious subaru car, plz consult our blog's automobile specialist~ alvin yap..hehe

neway, i got home safely and many thanks to the concern of alvin and sam tsan round 12.30..to see my mum at waitin at the door wif hands on her hips..the rest i reckon u guys can guess wad happened after dat lah..haha~

well, there goes another day spent wif the gang~. dats all for now..i think ive written more than enuf..lolz^^

2 weeks June hols...in Kuching..

2005-06-07T02:46:00.000-07:00

well, its already the 2nd week of the mid term hols here in kch..cant believe its ending so soon..sigh* to start of with, what have i been doin so far? hmm...honestly speaking, NOTHING! except for form 6 homework of course..blekks.. oh yea, not to forget, ben kon's farewell party!!

as you all can see in the pics posted by alvin before me, those pics were taken at kon's house.. the party was last wed..1st june i think..ehhe..well, to kick start the day, i dropped by at alvin's house to watch a bit of initial-D..wahha..nice nice..then round 3.30 lidat we took off to pick up lip leong..at lip leong's house, dear ol alvin wanted to take over the wheel of my proton..lolz..

once at kon's house, we were greated graciously by our host..haha..rite guys :p soon after, we were shown his room..whoa man i tell you..shocked the hell out of us lookin at his room..(as explained by the pics alvin posted up) ..so now u ppl noe how a 10a1 guys studies eh..haha.. after that, we watched some really funny singaporean movie on a vcd..its call I Do, I Do.. its really really interesting i tell you..its a love comedy..sth rather suitable for marcus or tsan to watch eh.. i really dont wanna go into details of it..you should watch it yourself and see..lolz.. well, round 6.30 lidat, caryn kong, stephanie liaw and stephanie mok came..haha~ and then, a party wont be a party without food eh..so ....... our dinner treat consisted of dimsum, fried boneless chicken, currypuffs, noodles, grapes, err..what else ar...cant really remember liaw..haha..alvin and lipleong,if i forgot anythin, help to add in..lol..bt hey, the food was fantastic man! i lift my hat to kon's mum..a really great cook..haha..no kidding :) i think daphne and naichen popped in at 8..haha..great to see naichen again..then the girls had a great time talkin bout their experiences at NS..lols..while we boys, just kept mostly to ourselves while taking occasional peeks at House of Wax playing on Tv..honestly, dat movie is pathethic..i guess most US producers suck at horrors..the only good thing was i got to see paris hilton get killed..wahha~
i think round 9.30 we decided to go..bt hey, kon din let us go empty handed...haha..so we each brought home a packet of leftover curry puffs, murukku or dim sum..ahha..thanks a lot ben!

on the way back home, alvin made me drive thru town, pass the waterfront area..ahha..my first time driving round dat area wifout my parents in the car..then somewhere along pending road i kena "hon" by some bloody wira..was it a wira alvin? im not so sure..looked like one to me.. that stupid car..i didnt do anythin wrong..the lane next to me was empty wad..donwan to potong summore..waitin for me to gv way to him..ass of a driver..bt finally he decided i wasnt goin to gv in so he just potong lor..jeez~

im back!

2005-05-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

huhuhu...back frm miri last nite..havent been blogging for so long. ive deleted my own personal blog for i think i couldnt afford to maintain it any longer.but since we have this union of 6..its even better rite..haha..can just blog when i feel like it. ok..my trip to miri is to visit my aunt who got transfered there few years back..we were staying at the federal govt. staff flat/apartment, very old and cacated ones. my aunt has a poorly maintained toyota corolla LE ae82 but altho its lousy but its enough for us to go out and about miri town.but not to far tho..it once stalled when we got back frm tanjung lobang beach.it stalled so easily when i drove it altho all the pedals are light and easy to use..but the engine really sucks..hiccuping every second when its on the move.

back to miri 'city'...i dont even know why can it be considered a city...its such a small place with not many ppl. there is hardly any heavy traffic in those big and wide double lane roads all around the city.in traffic lights too..the most u see is like 4 rows of cars. the only thing with miri is its long and straight roads..really nice to test the performance of ur car...huhuhu...got some hilly areas along the tanjung lobang area too...the roads are really new and has 2 lanes on each direction..u see hardly any traffic too...i wonder if mirians like to drive on big huge roads...kch seems to be so so so congested compared to miri. but i just like kch la..miri is so lifeless..no offence marc..i know ur dads hometown is miri..so lifeless la that place..i came back earlier because i wouldnt dare to drive my aunts car. its like going to give up its life soon..imagine it stalled in the middle of the road..and ure in a alien place. susah lah.. but lets look on the bright side...somehow..miri has alot of pretty girls to offer..just take a stroll around the shopping complexes during the weekends and its a sight to behold..huhuhu..even in miri airport...alot of leng luis too...hehe.

im goin back to melaka in a few weeks time..argh.. kinda miss the life wif my frens there..but with another part of me worrying about a few other stuffs..i mite hafto stay wif an indian as a roomate and the worst part is that benjamin kon is goin there too...oh gosh he is just so damn annoying. i really hope we wud never haf any chance to stumble upon each other in campus or he wun go and look for me. ya i mite sound not very nice but im not as patient as u kwang...really..i guess this is all part of the challenges of growing up...argh guess i'll just have to find a way to solve everything.

Back to school.....

2005-05-22T02:36:00.000-07:00

eys ppl,

well, its back to sch for me..form 6 started last tues, may 17th..sorry didnt blog earlier ar..was kinda preoccupied wif catching up on homework :) marcus, nice to see u blogging again..huhuhu..

back to form 6, well, we had orientation for ONE day only..ONE DAY!!! so not fair lah...come on, even green road had orientation for a week!! got some schools only starting classes after june hols..haih~ okies, im in L6B this year, just for u guys information. my class only has 21 students in it..man, thats realy really small compared to our 5A..haha :p bt then, i suppose its good lah, cos its quieter (even with yik lung in the class..yiklung, imagine him..) haha.. and we also get more personal attention. so, im not complaining bout that. oh ya, lip leong, yiklung, joshua and norman are the only ex-5A's in my class..thankfully still have a handfull of 5a's with me..if not, i oso "kekok" lah..first time studying in the same class as girls after 5 years!! hehe.. lip leong's sittin next to me, and josh beside lip leong. norman is in front of me, beside kim fuu and sam wong kee wei. oh yea, our dear noman is class MONITOR.. haha..congrats dude. fedellis ( st.3 ex-head girl is assistant i think) . by the way, they moved the L6B class from the right side of the mill hill block to the left side, just above the chapel - only to be beside the bloody 4G and 4H.. oh man~ if things just cant get any worse...those ppl ar, buat bising saja!! summore always purposely talking at the top of their voices and laughing like some f**king hyena when walking in front of the class.. hmph.. RASA banyak lah these ppl..annoying idiots...

my class teacher is puan liew wang jew..she also teaches us bio..so far she's quite fun :) and interesting.. had our first bio lesson liaw..studied properties of water~ hydrogen bonding.. stuff like dat..fun fun! chemistry is puan wong ing sieng ( sam wong's mom). she's not too bad.. uses the laptop a lot to teach..so lessons arent dat boring lah..started on relative atomic/molecule mass, and mass spectrometer..huhuhu... maths is mr. fabian liaw..he's cool, yeap. first lesson on indices and logarithms..looking at the questions is enough to tell me dat my brain's totally rusted man..f6 maths involves a lot of proving..like, prove this equation, and prove that..ergh.. bt i got used to it after a while.. MUET teacher is puan pung. if u guys dont remember, she was the last year's 5B class teacher..quite tall one..dats about all the teachers i have..

biggest class in form 6 is L6D..celaka them, they get to use the auditorium as classroom cos they have 67 people in one class!! tsk tsk, so not fair!! oh yea, benjamin kon got the yayasan telekom malaysia scholarship, along with alvin yap and chun huat..heartiest congrats to them.. yap, take good care of kon oh...ahha..lolz :p ben is leaving for MMU on june 3rd. petronas scholars, are kenneth chai and lenis (civil eng-UTP) and nazaruddin(business&economics ~ overseas).. dats for u guys who are wondering wads goin on bck home.. JPA coming out soon!! nervous man.. i last checked the jpa website and it said early june....man, good luck to those of you who got the interview..

at the moment, alvin yap is in miri, apparently enjoying himself.. cheh.. alvin ar..when u gonna blog those pics in???!!! grrr..

neway, i think dats all i have to say..take care you all, and god bless

btw, monday is pubic holiday..so thats y im up bloggin so late :p

Food

2005-05-18T04:18:00.000-07:00

Wahsey... blog so much... and all on food... you trying to make those who aren't at home jealous is it? You think 0.40 bucks is expensive.. excuse me... but ONE wonton here is 50 cents... NZ cents... which is about RM1.30. My goodness. For one miserable wonton... wanna talk some more... haih...

Life right now is full of internals exams... stressful. I counted 7 internal exams in the coming 3 weeks. Not good. But on the bright side, I am going on a Biology field trip tomorrow. Yay. :-) And I'm going on a school retreat next Monday and Tuesday... so it should be interesting, if not educational. Hope the camp site is not too cold, although I have heard not too flattering things about it... Must pack plenty of nice, thick clothes.

Life in NZ is... different. It's not a bad different, but it's undeniably different. For one thing, I hang out with ostly girls here, strangely. All my good friends are girls... I have no idea why, seing I didn't really hang out with girls much back in Kuching. Life changes I guess.

NS... NS... well, could you please not bring up the fact that I'm deferring my NS? LEt this be the final word on it... I'm sick of people asking me about it. I'm dealing with it, and I'd appreciate it if no one broaches the subject again. No offense to anyone intended, but it gets a bit annoying at times.

:-)

Another "Laksa Day" topped up with the exciting, heart-stopping, mouth dropping "Drift" of INITAL-D!!

2005-05-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

oh yeah~ this morning went out wif alvin yap and lipleong to eat the famous Golden Arch Laksa.

so, my day started like this, woke up at 6.30 to send my bro and sis to sch, then picked up alvin in my '1990 AE92 toyota corolla 1.3SE' who was waiting ever so patiently at the st.jo church for me :) haha..sorry ar yap i come a bit late...hehe.. after, dat we proceded to smk lumba kuda to pick up lip leong. y there one may ask? well, his mum is teaching there. ^^ minutes later, we headed off to alvin's favourite yu cha kueh stall at sekama road to buy yu cha kueh for the laksa.. i think we bought like Rm 3 or sth like dat worth of yu cha kueh..mind u dats a lot man.. we three oso "ciak be liaw" ..huhuhu..

soon after, we were zooming down the streets all the way to 3rd mile where Golden Arch laksa beckons..man, yap's mouth already watering leh thinking of it..haha. thank god we were early :p managed to get a good parking lot, with alvin teaching me how to do reverse parking..lolz..thanks yap.. oh yeah, did i mention my driving nt as smooth as tsan's and alvin's.. wahha..alvin say when i first start to jalan, my car jerk a little leh..hmph..i guess i still need some practising on my clutch release :)

neway,back to the laksa, we all ordered rm4 laksa, but alvin's with no prawn..dat did him good tho..they only charged him rm2 for it..grr..... mine and lip leong's had 5 juicy,reasonably sized prawns in it..which comes to rm0.40 a piece..cheh* but nevermind about that..i tell u ar, the laksa was absolutely a gastronomial delight!! a laksa lovers' laksa to put it. ummm.. haha..the rich texture of the laksa gravy, wif delicately boiled beehoon and taugeh..bla bla..no words to quite describe it..huhuhu..then we dipped the crispy golden fried yu cha kueh into the gravy..perfect man i tell ya..dis alvin ate the most summore..hehe~ then, washed down wif teh si..hmm..wonderful! haih* sorry no pics to show..lipleong brought his digicam but we forgot to take..aiks..

having done breakfeast, we all went to alvin's house to watch Initial-D. alvin drove my toyota for d first time..haha..i was kinda relieved he didnt try any of the "drifting" tricks he watched on Initial-D. blueks :p hehe..well, to those of you who are still blur blur what Inital-D is, its basically an anime bout street racing~ more like drifting downhill or mountain slope wif tight hairpin curves at 160 kph..siaw man i tell u..main character , takumi (did i get his name rite alvin?) is a normal buy who delivers tofu wif a toyota trueno AE86 who becomes a pro street racer..lolz..really really nice to watch..i gotta admit, i was hooked. seeing a simple toyota trueno wif 150 horsepower max beating a heavily modified mazda rx-7 with 350 horsepower in the downhill drift caused my adreanaline to run wild..ahha..bt don worry guys,i wont be trying any of dat..not wif the kind of cars i have at home now..lolz..

neway, dats about the interesting part of my wednesday. petronas scholarship results coming out tmr..huhuhu..nervous leh..haih* doubt can get it tho..nonetheless,i'll be sitting next to my phone the whole day..just in case :p~

oh yeah,newest update on my life..i will be starting maths tuition dis coming fri..under some mr. ng of green road..ben kon,forbes and byron ling are also under him..hmm, wonder how class would be like..haha..

neway, i guess i better stop writing now..wrote too much liaw..hahaz..

take care u all!!

so, from 8.30 till like 11, was sitting there thru the speeches and the prize giving to the hundreds of students who were also there.. thank god i managed to steal a seat next to alvin yap. if not, i reckon i would have been bored to death.. blekk :p oh yea,about the prize, i got a cheque for rm200. jeez~ haha..bt i suppose its good enuf lar..all the spm prize recipients got d same amount. yeah, bout the anugerah cemerlang spm 2004, our dear roderick kong got it!! haha..congrats to you man :) his dad, mr. paul kong was there to collect his trophy, certificate, money, wad else ar....forgot liaw..haha

oh yeah, lip leong's coming back from NS today..haha..smart man u lip leong..escape cos go form 6. bt good to see u again lah :) *grin*

well, i wish i could write more..but hell, the time biw us 3.15 am!! and i really gotta sleep..blog another day lah..bye guys :)

Tsan's Gone!

2005-05-04T10:11:00.000-07:00

haih* sam tsan left for the LION City this morning at 11 ( i think..) yeap, i sure am gonna miss him. time sure seems to fly so fast..heck, without realising it, my hols are approaching the end!! *sigh* it only felt like a minute ago when spm exams ended, everyone soo happy.. and i tot i had all the time in the world to play :) and now........there are still so many things i wanna do!! oh well, i guess now hafto shift my mind back to study mode. bleh :p now am looking around for form 6 seniours to buy books from..haha..oso asking around for suitable tuition to go to ~ chemistry-la, maths, PA..etc.

yesterday i went out for lunch wif tsan, alvin yap, afiq and gary shahrull. where? erm.. i cant quite remember the name of the shop,think its 'Selera Ayam Payak'.. it is located at the same block as bank simpanan nasional - satok branch. food there aint too bad. bt i must say thumbs up to the teh-tarik :)

oh yeah,was watching the Champions League soccer match between Chelsea and Liv yesterday morn 3 am. my, my ..football is just like a box of chocolates. u can never be too sure what ur gonna get :) haha.. outcome of the match? lolz.. just for u guys who dont know, liverpool won 1-0. i must say liverpool really deserved it. superb defending and quick-pace attacking really must have frustrated dear Chelsea.. my condolences, sam tsan :) to tell u the truth, i was supporting liverpool to win dat match..haha. nt dat i hate chelsea or wad, bt i think chelsea have won enough trophies.. wif the English Premier League and Carling cup trophy already in hand. so i guess it wouldnt be asking for too much if liverpool just stumped chelsea's chances of goin into the finals of the champions league :) i certainly salute Jamie Caraggher.. the liverpool centre-back. man,his awesome defending certainly contributed to the fact that liverpool won that match. never before have i seen such splendid defending :) okay, okay..enuf of that

oh yeah, just thought of a poem for all u friends out there :)

…Sweet Poem...

You're...
My friend, My companion,
Thru good times and bad.
My friend, My buddy,
Thru happy and sad.
Beside me you stand, Beside me you walk,
Beside me you listen, Beside me you talk.
With happiness With smiles
With pain and tears,
I know you'll be there throughout the year!

Hymns

2004-10-16T07:47:00.000-07:00

One of my favourite church hymns:

It's your blood

It's your blood that cleanses me
It's your blood that gave me life
It's your blood that took my place in redeeming sacrifice
And washes me whiter than the snow, than the snow.
Lord Jesus, God's precious sacrifice.

Exam mass

2004-10-01T08:38:00.000-07:00

Today we had the SPM/ STPM examination mass at St Joseph Cathedral. It started at 5.30 in the afternoon, so I skipped Mrs Hon.

The mass was good, I enjoyed it a lot. The songs were well chosen, and it was nice to see so many familiar faces in church. I think I'm going to miss St Joseph so much next year, and the First Friday Masses. The old band played the music, and I think on the whole I prefer the old gang, with Cletus and Kenny and the rest of them.

If this were the Vatican

2004-09-21T07:06:00.000-07:00

Is this were the Vatican,

I would be Pope (yay)
Aloy would be Cardinal
Yap would be a believer (Bless you my child)
Marcus would be a pilgrim (welcome my Child)
Kwang would be the representative from his church (Brother!)
Lip leong would be the pagan we would all be TRYING to convert. :)

So there.

Sonnet 42 (pronouced as FOR TWO) by request of TSW

Oh~! Sing Jiat with face so fair

I love you nice, straight, black hair

I love the way you talk and laugh

The way your body's slim yet tough

The way your hand fits my own

When we are together... alone.

Your eyes are beautiful, as black as night

Your skin glows in a radient light

Oh! Sing Jiat! When at you I look

I know just how my heart you took

Sing Jiat! Don't you see this love we share?

Let ME be your teddy bear!

I too can spell out your name

You need not look at me in shame.

Cuddle me in your warm, soft hands.

And show me to you BESTEST FRIENDS!

2004-09-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Union of 6

2004-09-09T09:38:00.000-07:00

Wah, so inactive one this blog.

My alarm clock goes PFFFT

2004-09-03T08:19:00.000-07:00

This would be this blog's first post... Woohoo!!! I got first... nyah nyah.

Today I was supposed to go to Mrs Hon as usual at 4.30 pm. I set my alarm clock for 3.30, figuring that I would have plenty of time to catch a nap and still wake up in time for tuition. Sleeping at about 2, I was awoken by my maid who said "Marcus! Kawan kamu dari tuisyen panggil kamu bangun!" I was like, "Huh?" And I looked at the time, it was 4.35.

Oh man.

I jumped out of bed, rushed down, grabbed my stuff and bottle (I forgot to wash my face, sadly) before I left, and started trotting down to tuition. I made it there in record time, still trying to figure out how I missed my alarm clock. I know I set it, and my sister claims she even went upstairs to wake me up at 4 o'clock (she does this quite often, it gets slightly annoying) but I went back to sleep. Gee.

Mrs Hon didn't comment on my lateness, thank God for that. I was afraid she'd make some comments like when Shaaeiswaran came in late last time. I arrived at 4.40, and didn't miss much.
