Ah.. I'm in college now. Its 3:45pm and I'm in the middle of Engineering Maths 1. Ms Voon's a nice lady, very gentle and all.. so I guess she can excuse me for an extra 5-10 minutes (I'm supposed to be back in class by 4pm). Yesterday night, 8:15pm, we arrived at Dewan Sri Pinang. We were kinda late, and already, my cousin Susan who works in Intel as an engineer was oredi there with my uncle and aunt whose daughters are taking part in this orchestra. After the formalities and speeches by the Chief Minister of Penang, the thing started. I'm not really sure whether or not I like Classical, but I listen to the likes of Maksim and Koji guy... and I seem to click with this genre of music. I don't play it, but I guess I like it. Jocelyn's solo was at 10pm that night, so we had to wait till after the interval. Stephanie, I think in Form 2/3 was playing the middle sized voilin. There was like.. so many mini-violinist (the standard size, held by the neck).. then, there's the bigger violin thingy (about 4 feet) and the bad boy, the big ass ones, that's almost 6 feet tall. Jocelyn, the elder of the sisters was playing the violin while her younger sister was on the middle sized one. I know they have specific names, but what the heck. The thing I like about orchestra is the plucking part.. So soft, so uniquely sounded. Ahh.. Can't have enough of this shit. At the interval, mum, cous, and I went for a pee break. Outside the auditorium, I saw a Maksim wannabe. He dressed like him, had a similar hairdo, and acted like him. So funny lah.. but I guess that's "fashion!". Well, if you've visited the Main site, you should have seen the many pictures I took. Boy, great looks always accompany great talents! Leng luis galore! It ended at 11pm, but I didn't sleep till 2:30am... editing the pics, and fixing my webbie. Guess what, I woke at 6:30am, effectly sleeping for a mere 4 hours. Main reason was becuz I slept yesterday afternoon 3-6.. so, it sorta give me the extra "oomph!" I need to stay awake. It is said that short naps are much better than long sleeps. Maybe this tactic will be useful come exam time. Nehow, My sister's blog is almost done. Still buggy with broken links.. but she's learning =) And I can't link to my sister's law firm's website cuz they might sue me... They specifically said that you mustn't link to their pages without prior consent. Dun wanna get trouble wit a law firm now, do I? I've just uploaded a plethora of Mp3s available for download. Share the wealth! I'll blog more tonite!

I spent Sat afternoon till early Monday in Bukit Mertajam. I attended youth meeting on Saturday night. Pastor Tamil talked about ways to hear God. This time, he also talked diplomatically about the Process Theology bit. At least this time he offered his reasons why Process in his opinion, is wrong. That's what I wanted. Argh.. I can't remember what he said, but yeah.. I'm still not satisfied :P Sunday service was like a "scolding" from this Charismatic pastor. You know, these charismatic people... so, weird... so rude, so right-to-the-point. How can we accept them if they were to lecture us as if we're little kindergarten kids. Nuff said... they suck. Monday morning, 7:15 am, went for breakfast. 7:45pm, went to bus station. I took the bus from my hometown, BM to college. Wow.. it was thrilling! I manage to get to my college in time, thanks to an additional RM5 cab ride atop the Rm 3 for the bus fare. Overall, it was fun! Computer today was boring. I've gotta be considerate for those who understand slower than me.. sigh~ But then again, it gives me free time to brush up on my semi-conductor, telecom and maths.. the other 2 days are computer studies... damn easy if you've took it in O levs. I'm doing my church's youth website. In Dec last year, the visited Sarawak.. and they came back with loads of pics. Well, here they are in case you're curious. Some of them are my friends, some are from other churches in other states.. so yeah, i know some, I dunno some. If you're interested" in any, do drop me a mail. I'm all ears! pip@bmbc.info That's about it. 1 hour of persistent Photshopping isn't really that fun. But its worth the effort. Till we meet again ;-)

I had the wildest nitemare during my afternoon nap! Ever since the last O Level paper, I made a promise to myself not to think back of the past. If we continue to miss one another, then, there can be no progress, or progress is hindered. I succeeded in not thinking too much about my Brunei friends. Occationally, there's MSN, and e-mailing. But we've gotta move on. However, it all changed this afternoon. I dreamt of a dream so scary, that it was like a movie of friends separating. There was lots of emotion, deep feelings and what-nots. There were flashbacks of the times we spent walking to church (for midweek), doing councillor duties and those longwinded meetings, those classes where we played truant, those recess times we spent yakking, those boring homework and annoying teachers. I love you guys! Now i miss them all. It'll take a week for me to recover, but I'm hopeful. College after all, has been excellent. I love studying what I love rather than being stuck with irrelevant subjest like Bio, Chem, Eng, Malay (I love language activities, but not lessons)... So now, I have basically 2 days (6 hours) of computer studies, 3 hours of maths, 3 hours of phy, 3 hours of telecommunications, and soon, 2 hours of BM (for 1 semester only) - next semesters, will be Malaysian Studies and Moral. Oh, today, 2 pretty girls quit the course. Apparently, it didn't suit their likings. Now, we're left with Su Chin, petite, and friendly.. and an Indian girl, very smart. The rest are boys, 17 in all. Grrr.... competition :-*(
College today was fun.. 9:30 - 11am only. I went to internet lab 11-12:30pm.. The lecturers were having a meeting of some sort. So, half day of Telecommunications.. Was kinda fun, cuz Jason was funny. Later, as I was waiting at the bench for mum and dad, suddenly I got a call. They went out with Uncle & Aunt for lunch. I had to eat myself. I went to the restaurant operated my the Hotel and Tourism (H&T) guys at my colllege. No 1st class service, but decent service lah. I had this pie that costed RM6.. reasonable lah. I met Sean Paul. He's from Sarawak, dad's a politician, mum's Filipino. He's 23 now, but just 1 year my senior. He was studying Civil Engineering at INTI Sarawak, but middle into year 2, he sort flunked a couple of subjects a couple of times. Quit INTI Sarawak and decided to come to KDU Penang instead. His girlfriend's in Penang, so.. that's the main reason he's here. Ahh... Neway, we had lunch together. The apartment we were looking to buy wasn't good. It housed sick patients, lotsa "tourists" looking for a spot to live. The apartment is very nice, but unfortunatelly, there are drug addicts lurking nearby... and lotsa sick people! Dang.. they're like waiting for medical attention in the hospitals nearby. The lifts are darn slow.. you'll prolly have to wait at least 10 minutes everytime! So stupid. As for now, we're staying at our present apartment. Its abit far from college, but I'll be driving soon, so that's good =)
Well, Proton and Norwich are teaming up. In case you dunno who Norwich is.... check out their page! Next season, my first team will of course, be the mighty Manchester United, but my 2nd team, will be Norwich... Proton has signed up a sponsor deal with them, and they'll have their logo on their jerseys. Being a newly promoted club, I'm sure their jerseys are cheap (relatively).... So, that's my Christmas / Birthday wishlist... Size: L adult please, with the words Piptech and the Number 86, thank you =) College later, Telecommunications with Jason. Should be fun. Then tomorrow, more Microsoft Word! Ahh.. 1st sem is like heaven! No one wanna blog wit me yet?
