Curtain falls on 2008...Welcome 2009!!

It has been an extremely long time since i last sat down and blogged and we already well into 2009.I think I have to start where I left off. When I went back to KTT in December after the 2 weeks break, it was the beginning of the 2nd Semester. The highlight before Christmas I suppose was the CF's Christmas night.

There was carolling and we also watched a movie, Pay It Forward during the Christmas Night. The movie almost put me to sleep...definitely not my kind of movie. It was too slow. (no offense Susu)

Liverpool vs Manchester United. Equally poised =)

During Christmas Night. Tangga 11 united. (Eric'c 1st time in CF also)

Look how excited Chua and me are being the ushers before the event.

Christmas was really great. We had a family gathering in Kulai and almost everyone in my mum's side were there. Some of whom I haven't seen for about 5 years. I went for mass at CDM, Shah Alam and travelled to Johor on Christmas day itself. I drove about half the journey to Johor. It was definitely the furthest I've ever driven. One bad thing about the highway leading down South is that its only 2 lanes. Hope they upgrade the highways in Johor. Pity all those Johorians people especially when there are many crazy lorry drivers that overtake and hold up traffic in the process.

During Christmas, I played a game that I've never played before. PAINTBALL!! Paintball was really awesome.Everyone should play this game at least once in their life time.But be forewarned, when you get shot especially at close range, it hurts. Well, you can't call it paintball without the Pain right? My advice to those people who have not played this game, wear at least 2 layers of clothing to lessen the impact of getting shot. I got a couple of bruises on my leg and a few cuts on my arm.I also think that being taller is a disadvatage in paintball as you're an easy target for opponents as I found out on numerous occasions.I thoroughly enjoyed playing with all my uncles and cousins and I will definitely want a rematch as my team lost the game badly.( No beginners luck for me)

Me and my family, before going for midnight mass.

The 'Paliath War' . My team is just about to step into the battlefield...and get annihilated!! ;)

Me with a few of my cousins in Kulai.

One of the best moments during each Christmas=)

Yup...thats my Liverpool bag.

I played a friendly futsal match for my cousin's team in Kulai too. It was though. I never liked futsal that much because you can't really run with the ball. Field football is obviously way better.(because I can run pass people)

Oh yea, I almost forgot. I played badminton in an indoor court. Something that we KTTians can only dream off in our college. A really fun Xmas indeed, just the way I like it with all te sporting activities.

After Christmas, Shawn, Selvan and me decided came back to KTT on the 29th of December. We decided prior to the Christmas break that we should come back early to study here(although classes only begin on the 5th of January)Exams were only 3 weeks away thus the reason for our decision. I guess we covered alot during the few days that we were there so it was a benefitial stay. KTT was deserted apart from a few Malay students and the cafe food was really bad. Ended up eating bread most of the time.

On New Year's eve, i went out to Sunway Pyramid with Shawn, Selvan, Joey and Li Ying. Joey drove and I experienced something that I've never experienced in a car before... screeching tyres. Not that she's bad driver, but we nearly overshot a turning. (She's not a bad driver in actual fact,better then Chua)

It was about 8pm that day when we all decided to go to KLCC for the countdown. Great experience there as well. The fireworks there was the best i've seen live.( Beijng Olympics not counted la)

At KLCC park...just before midnight.

Interesting deco in front of Sunway Pyramid.

One of the longest waits for the lift, got bored so Shawn started camwhoring.=)

2009!!!

Well, people normally have new year's resolutions at the start of each year. I don't normally have one because my target at the start of each year is basically to do my best in studies and get good results. This year, I've decided to write them down.

1.Get 4 As' for AS and A2.

2.Be fitter, improve football and badminton

3.Try to read the bible more often.

4.Make sure I'm not underweight ;)

5.Pick up as many tamil and mandarin words

Thats about it I guess.Short but certainly not simple.

Now about the 1st day of class in 2009.5th January, I'll remember this day for a very very long time. I woke up earlier than usual( 1st day, so extra semangat). Got ready, had breakfast and just skimmed through a few pages of the physics textbook before the class.But then, some drama before class. I tried to open the lock on the grill and once again I couldn't open it. I tried for 5 minutes at least but the lock just wouldn't open. A sense of deja vu overcame me. I wasn't going to miss the 1st class of 2009 so I had this crazy idea of climbing down the grill( down 2 floors) from the kitchen area. Selvan and I managed to climb down safely and we were in class. So much effort just to attend a physics class. Dhana called the warden after that and they cut open the lock with more effort then the previous occasion because this Solex lock is suppose to be hardened.

(stole this picture from shawn's blog) This is basically how high he climbed down.Not that high but you will certainly fracture your leg if you jump down.

Another lock bites the dust. No more locks for 11-2-a2 after this.


The heroes of the day. Mr Shurabil must be getting really good at this.

This is how they cut open the lock.

Lastly, for the Ponggal festival in KTT.It was organized by the ICS( Indian Cultural Society) headed by Dhana.He did a good job considering the limited time and budget.A good experience for KTT's students.On that day, Dhana lent his Kurta to us and we had a good time afterwards doing stupid poses.

Us doing Sharon's pose.( We're making this pose famous)

Who's the odd one out??

Me with Joel and 3/4 Chua and Daniel's head.

The dance during Ponggal. Miss Rajes(my bio lecturer in the dark blue saree) was the best dancer.

Usain Bolt or Fernando Torres? Neither...just copying Christine.


Pouring the milk into the container filled with rice.

The "best" picture.lol

Me testing Selvan's destroyed bed.

This was pretty much what happened on Selvan's bed.You can clearly see Selvan displaying his SuperCow Abilities.

BEHOLD...What you are Going to see next is very rare.The photographer of this picture risked his life and ran the whole length of KTT just to capture the next picture.
