Dragon Tiger Gate

Yesterday, I went down to Ipoh to buy some stuff and just to take some time out to be away from the university for a little while, just because i know that when monday comes, I'll be too busy to go out and all. So i arranged with 2 other friends and we borrowed Lun lun's car. (Thanks Wai Lun for ur car! if you're reading this...)

Initially, I didn't want to watch a movie and all I wanted to to was just shop for my things and then have dinner then go back to uni. BUT, (well, where's always a "but"..) as we sat down for lunch at the food court in the complex, I saw the trailer of this movie and it reminded me that I've been waiting for this movie since last month when i saw the trailer before another movie- i forgot what movie dee.. forget it la... So after lunch, we went up to check if the movie is showing and to my delight the next show is in the next 40 minutes!

I expected the movie to be good but at the end of it, I found the movie to be very impressive... ahah... The movie is about 2 brothers who grew up in a martial arts academy which stands for justice. The only thing about them is that they have different mothers and the elder brother is called Dragon while the younger one is called Tiger (okay.. i know the name sounds lame, but its nice in chinese la...) Ny way, the elder son decided to leave home with his mother at a very young age and later on, he was brought up by a mafia. So naturally, he became the body guard of the mafia. Aiya.. lazy want to tell the story liao la... Don't want to spoil your fun also la.. GO catch the movie yourself at your nearest TGV!!

Give you short conclusion... haha.. In the end, they worked together with a new friend to defeat a triad boss who is very powerful. The whole movie is action packed, and full of really cool martial art action! I give this movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars..

I mean it.. Go watch this movie.. you won't regret it... ahah...

Crash, Boom, Bang!

I'm quite unhappy with the ACS (Academic Central Cervices) of my university. I just don't understand the way they work! I sometimes wonder if they do their work at all or if they understand what they are doing?!

As most of you know, each course has it's core subjects that each student who is persuing the particular degree must complete. And that there is a time table that is issued by the university (in this case the ACS) so that students know where and when the lectures of each subject that they have enrolled for are being held. The most disappointing thing is that even though I registered my courses according to the university structure, there were wait... ARE many clashes in my time table. Even my core subjects lectures clash with each other!

My biggest dissapointment is that the ACS is not willing to help us sort the problem and made it worse by telling all our lecturers that they should not entertain students who ask to change lecture, tutorial and lab slots so that we are able to attend them.

What kind of office is this? I mean as the Academic CENTRAL Services department, they should know the course structure that they themselves come out with, and they arranged the time table in such a way that even core subject lectures clash with each other!!

Please pray for me. I believe that God will take care of this somehow. I should just let this go and let God take care of it. Writing this blog really got me thinking, God is assuring me even at this moment that He will take care of this. When I look to God, this problem seem to just be a small one. Thank you God!

Lost and Found

I'm so glad because I found my missing thumb drive. Last thursday when I reached my dorm and started to unpack, i realised that my my thumb drive was missing and the thought of gettinganother one just bothers my piggy bank. So i quickly called my mum to look for it in my room. She called me back like 10 minutes later and told me that she couldnt find any thumb drive in my room.

At that poing of time, I began to hunt for new thumb drives and saw that prices have dropped so I was relieved at that. Then yesterday, again, I tried looking into my laptop bag and this time, I found it in my bag! Really praise God for that!! Going to class now...

First day of the semester

Today is the first day of the semester and I only had one lecture to attend at 2 pm. So I'm quite free today. As expected, the lecturer did not turn up for the first lecture session so we dismissed oueselves from the lecture hall after waiting in the lecture hall for more than 2o minutes. Since it's still very early when I came out of the lecture room, i went with my friends to the library to do our course confirmation and I dropped one subject because there were too many clashes in my time table and also because I feel that I could not cope with 20 credit hours. SO i dropped one subject and now i have 18 credit hours on hand. It will be a little busy but with God's mighty hands I believe that He will carry me through.

I should go and finalize my time table now. ahah.. else I wouldn't know what lectures I have tomorrow! =)

New Semester!

Well, since i started this new blog, might as well use it lar... ahah...

Tomorrow will be monday and I'd be starting my 2 year degree. Hmm... time flies, and I have been in UTP for 3 years now! that means i have about 2 more years to go before i graduate!! Woohoo!

I came back to campus last thursday with a few of my friends. It was a long day as we flew from Kuching Airport at around 7 am and we had to wait in KLIA till 12:15 for our flight to Ipoh. By the time we reach our dorms, it was nearly 3 pm. As usual, we have to clean our room when we come back from the semester break. I had to do most of the work because my roomie just had a knee operation last month and he couldn't walk around much. By evening, we were mostly done with unpacking and got setteled down and we had our first game of DOTA for the semester. For those who do not know what dota is, type dota into your search engine and you will find information about it. hehe...

This semester, I'm joining the university orchestra and we started practice on Saturday. Well, at first my friend Derrick and I feld inferior because all the other mucisians were good and we were still struggling to figure out how to play the pieces that were given to us and the conductor expected us to know the songs. I enjoyed myself though, because I got to learn new songs and with more practice, and the grace of God, I believe that I can do better. The best part about this is that I'm actually making money while enjoying myself. The orchestra is paying us RM 10 per day of practice and even though it's very little money, I guess it's better than nothing!

Our orchestra will be doing 2 major performances this year. The first is on the 20th August at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, and the other is on the 28th of August in our own university for the convocation. This is really great for me because I've never played in an orchestra before and although this is my first time, i'll be performing with them at such auspicious occasions. Really thank God for this opportunity.

Well, I better go and get my timetable from my course mates soon... eheh.. else i won't know what time are my lectures!
