It was a long time ago.

Feeling slight sorry for abandoning this blog after such a long time. Just realized the last post, which I posted my picture, was like last year ago..and I've changed my look since a long time ago..Picture post..so..no wordy words lah!

If wanna read what I've to say daily, please go to http://www.khian.tabulas.com/ ...

I've gotta rush to the reunion dinner!
Update more later..

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! THE MICKEY MOUSE YEAR!

What have I been up to lately?

I am on holidays!! It's my semester break and am currently enjoying it. Although as I am typing this, I am alil guilty for not spending my time wisely during the study break..and am frantically thinking of the C's I might be obtaining this semester. Darn!!

Anyway I had a blast in Penang with the seniors. So much fun that I swear I am not officially declared broke. Blast because we actually visited ALL the shopping malls in Penang and Butterworth itself. No more Bukit Bendera, no more Botanical Garden, no more BirdParks..no one is interested in those places anymore..(or at least, my seniors were not..) ..Now, they wanna attack the malls only..

Hehhe. What a way to promote tourism in Penang. Oh yeah, we did stop by in the Ferrengi's beach okay..for urm..20-40 minutes or so? At least, that was one Penang-ish thing to do, wasn't it? And yeah, we ate Penang food also weh..besides roaming around the malls. Oh, before I forget, we did take the ferry across and back..so, that's something Penang-lish, don't you reckon?

I know, I have not been updating my blogspot for quite some time now.
Not much to write about these days, and my daily rants are in www.tabulas.com/~khian
malas leh, wanna write twice..

Anyway, anyone hiring for a part-time worker? I wanna stay at home and work only. Call me weh..

Pictures mean 1000 words?

I was at the age of 2 and he was then, aged 7. We were at the airport, sending him off to New Zealand, he was holding a can of Sarsi, which is his favourite, still..I kept asking him to give me some.. and the granddad snapped our picture.

18 years later, standing tall in the granddad's home, he's now 25, and I am 20. Both of us changed alot, yet when we met, it's like our bond is still strong. He still loves Sarsi, along with beer, vodka and martinis. Somehow, it runs in the family..;)

Johnathan, I will miss you. Till we meet again, in another 10 years or so, hopefully not.

I am still alive.

Been abandoning my blogspot for a very long time now.
If you didn't already know, I update my tabulas at least once a day. Minimum.

How's life for me now currently?

"Finals in less than 3 weeks, I am currently enjoying courtship, and having fun as a single."

How's life for everyone?

Drop by here daily, for my daily dosage.

In the meantime, I continue to camwhore, camwhore and more camwhore. Oh, only pictures of me only lah!!

Have a nice day ahead..and to you, I heart ya!

*I think I need to get myself a drink. It has been a long time.

Survey Camp in Ayer Tawar, Perak

Euphonious is already over. The Grand-est event (Don't you reckon, vern?) in UTP is over, but then, I didn't make it. In fact, 30 civilians weren't able to make it to that event that night.
Due to obligations to the faculty.
Due to obligations to our degree.
Due to obligations to the course.

GEOMATICS

We made up alot of reasons of denial throughout the whole period of camp.
This camp is solely to enhance our land surveying skills in another different site, other than the ones in UTP.
The area was secluded.

No tv.
No radio.
Nearest sundry shop was 10-minute walk away.

The only civilization we had was our phones and the signals!!
and for most of us, MP3 players came in handy, and I had iPod with me tagging along.
Other tech gadgets would be our cameras, camera phones, and laptops, besides the theodolites and total stations that are used for the survey.

Only a few people brought along their cars, the rests were plain lazy and we regretted a lil.

The day begun with the tasks delegation and we were under the sun for 4 hours.
Doing land surveying.

It was not entirely tiring, because in between there were jokes and camwhoring sessions.
The scorching heat was unbearable; but nonetheless, it motivated us to complete the tasks faster and earlier.
Teamwork was essential.

At night, the reward came.
BBQ party for everyone.
Prawns, chicken wings, chicken burgers, sausages were BBQ-ed, people ate as if there was no tomorrow.
(I personally had 30 pieces of prawns! Damn nice weh..totally forgotten about cholesterol level for one day!)

And then, the camwhoring session continued.

Everyone looking pooped and tired out..or at least, we pretended to be..it failed la..on me..

Trying to impersonate Tyra Banks but then..I looked horrified..?!!!!

This picture taken when Teehooi was so engrossed with her drumstick that she refused to camwhore with us..we managed to force la in the end..

We then moved on to another activity, which is illegal. We had camp fire!
So, all of us gathered all the wood available, even resorting into tearing down the fence, to make them as one of the firewood..

After all the wood was gathered, there was one fault. No matches, or lighters. Kenneth went scurrying off to look for lighter..or fire source..in the meantime, Okuswa thought of the most conventional way to light up fire..haha..mentang mentang she took Geology last semester..She tried rubbing two sticks..hehehe...

Haha, she sorta got pissed when we laughed at her..so she attacked us out of fury..

We won, of course. She was outnumbered.

After the fire was lighted up, KeeHui brought his Guitar out and started to sing "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls.. and more songs after that.
I told him to play something, which brings the meaning of, "Missing someone"..
then he played, "No woman No Cry" by Bob Marley.

Funny.

After that, the day ended early..We woke up early, in time to go for a round of chatting session in a nearby jetty.



The next day was presentation of data.


It went well. I don't even know half what I was supposed to say..

There was even more camwhoring sessions during the presentation itself. One of them which is:



Meet Okuswa..too bad Natasha was not with us..she went for F1..

OH YEAH, WE EVEN HAD 2 GAMBLING SESSIONS THAT 2 DAYS. WE DIDN'T PLAY WITH ANY "CASH", ONLY TAKE DOWN ACCOUNTS..RM1 PER BET LEH...hehe..so many "lan dou guais" in CIVIL..hehe..(not supposed to publish this though!)

We left the campsite around 2, had lunch in AyerTawar, reached UTP with a backache.
Did I forget to mention that we slept on the floor the night before.?

What would you do...

if you are thrown to a faraway place, with no any sort of entertainment?
The only available thing is your handphone and iPod?
(Thank god there was phone signal!)

YOU CAMWHORE, OF COURSE...

Even when everyone is busy doing work, there must be a time,when everyone took a second off work to look into the lens of cameras..flashed a smile..

I am no longer writing in the public in Tabulas

If you have been reading my tabulas, I did have a photoshoot on Wednesday. I have actually posted all the pictures in http://www.tabulas.com/~khian, only the picture of the one group of students. As you can see, UTP takes photoshoot very seriously, as there were so many blazers placed outside and every student is required to put on one. No such things as wearing t-shirts and all, everyone must put on a blazer to show uniformity.

As usual, I was pretty hyped over the fact that we were actually taking a picture of the whole Civil Batch '05. It's rare to have the whole group together, let alone a photoshoot. Unfortunately, not everyone was present that day, but all the important people were present, that was the most important thing!!

Upon arriving at the venue, we were told to try out the blazers available. It was certainly a tedious task for me as I could not find a body-fitting one. My shoulders are not broad enough.

Abel darling found one for me, which didn't really fit but then it did look better on me, than the rest. Oh, by the way, Abel is one of the South African students who is pretty gentlemen. He would approached us everyday, saying "Ladies.." with one big smile. It makes us feel important and respected. Aah, the difference between the locals and the international students. Mind you. I am not being buyers, but look at the senario here.


I didn't know that Civilians are mostly camwhorers. We take pictures with cameras, camera phones..you name the device, we will be using it on us. And yes, we look good in EVERY snapshots we take. *Look, I look so serious here!!*

Let me tell you something. I do not enjoy the education they provide us here.I do not enjoy engineering at all. The thing I enjoy most is the time I spend with my coursemates, fooling around. When they say "Civil RAWWWWKKKKSSS!!!", Civil does rocks.!!"

I am certainly not complaining about the workload. We get our fair share of work like the other courses, but one thing which differs us to the rest, would be Civilians are so much better in chilling out than the rest. =)
