Kona!

You just gotta love Kona! Haha! I went back to Kona yesterday with Nick and #-moto to go pick Tess (#-moto's girlfriend) up from the airport there. Yes, she's HERE in Hilo! Colourful character.....

Anyways, we (me, Nick and #-moto) left Hilo for Kona around 1PM-ish. It was like a 2 hours drive I think. We went to several places. I finally got to taste Subway's meatball sandwich. Awesome stuff! To kill time, we watched Yes Man! starring Jim Carey in a theater. It's a good movie. A typical Jim Carey movie.

Tess' plane arrived around 9PM-ish... #-moto was super excited when he saw her... They hugged like right beside of the arrival gate with some distance from me and Nick. They Both of them were talking and talking and hugging and more hugging till Nick and I felt left out. Haha! It was an awesome day!

Welcome Tess. Thank God for awesome friends. Glory to Him.

Oh, good news... I got that online webmaster job for the school's newspaper board.... WOOTS! THANK GOD!!! Time to get my geeky game face on 0.0 Woots! Glory to God!

Whoa!

Time is passing by so fast. One day I'm helping teachers in a kindergarten to quiet down the class, another day I'm in National Service, and the next day I'm here in Hawaii. Long story short, 2008 was an awesome year. This is kinda a cliche post. Most of you would have already predicted how a post on the 31st of December of any year would be. But I'm still gonna continue because it's so frigging fun! Haha!

Started this year with my first job ever. I worked in a Q-Dees kindergarten (pre-school) from the beginning of January to early March. I've always loved kids but kids don't necessarily love me like how I love them 0.o Kids cried and avoided me most of the time during my first few weeks in work. But thank God they kinda grew comfortable with me. Gosh, the amount of cheeks I had to pinch was so orgasmicawesome.... I didn't earn much but it was all good. I wasn't thinking about the experience at first. All I wanted from this job was first, to burn time after the examinations, and second, to play with kids 0.0 Haha! Thank God for this awesome first time experience!


Shu Pei with that small little kid whose name I can't remember.

I only remember the middle girl's name (Evelyn)... The other two I can't really remember.

Shirlyn in black, Shu Pei in that dark blue Punjabi suit (I think), and me in orange with some cute kiddies.

Sally is the far left girl, I'm hugging Bryan(sp?), Shirlyn is carrying Evelyn's sister whose name I can't remember. Gosh... I'm bad with names...

Me and Shirlyn with that girl again.

Yee Xin!

Shirlyn with Alice and Joey =).

Thilaga(sp?) and the worse cry baby ever 0.0

Shu Pei and Shirlyn.

Me and that girl's name I can't remember... Gosh!! Grrr...

My working period ended a few days before getting my SPM results. I scored 10A1's (A+) and 1A2 (A-). Screw that A2, thank God =). Haha! Then one week after receiving this good news, I left for Kuching, Sarawak for my National Service. Never liked the whole program and the trip at all. Never liked any activities. The only thing I enjoyed was the company God has blessed me with. I made loads of awesome friends there. But there were only a few of them who were really close to me in camp. One of them was Jun, my first NS friend. Then I met Martin Tan, who later became the Senior Guide of the whole camp, made an awesome friendship with Ng Ian Shaun, Jin How kinda blended in with us, then Tat Yang (who was the Bravo Company's Patrol Guide) also kinda blended in with us... Not forgetting some local Sarawakian boys like that soccer player whose name isn't popping up in my mind right now. I was in the National Service for only 2 months, but that was enough. Couldn't stand it at all.


Me and Bob.

One of those slacking moments in National Service.

I attended Form 6 one week after coming back from National Service. I'm considered done and gotten my certificate for National Service already. I attended Form 6 as a backup plan if my application to study in University of Hawaii at Hilo is rejected. I kinda like found out that I already gotten a place in the University like two weeks into Form 6, but I decided to stay since I've nothing better to do at home and just join the orientation program 0.0 Yeap, I'm weird. But I enjoyed it. Mainly because I bonded so much with Reinchez for the first time since knowing him and being in the same class as him since 2003 till 2007 (2008 actually, since we were classmates for a few weeks in Form 6 xD).

I kinda bummed at home and went out with a few people during my free time after getting out of Form 6. I can't really remember much about the outings except going out with Amelia Tee, Fong Hei and of course, with Kaviraj, Guna and Bernie. Good times, good times.

I got to drove on my own as well. See, when the time is right, your parents will surely let you drive alone. And they did let me drive alone. Muahahhaa! Had fun driving alone for at least two months 0.0 Haha! Can't remember much about stuff I did after my short spell of Form 6. I remember attending a Zhi Yuan's farewell/birthday party. It was awesome.


I remember driving one night when I was sending Brendan back home and my eyes started to itch and later tear for no reason. This almost made me clip a motorcyclist. Missed that guy by a few centimetres. Thank God nothing bad happened! Wait, I think it was after that ISCF 2008 rally. Yeaps. Haha! Lay Kuan spent a group of us some awesome mamak food! Woots! The nasi lemak wasn't really tasty though. Grr...

Then the next thing that I would have remembered was the farewell/birthday party my parents threw for me. Thank God for awesome parents. Fat Indian and Short Chinese xD Wooots! FTW! It was a night to remember. Seeing my school friends and church friends come together... Just so awesome. Not sure whether you guys enjoyed it or not, but I enjoyed it. I remember you guys trying to make me cry. That was so awesome. I remember Bernie and the rest of my former classmates singing our secondary school anthem to me. I remember p(imp)L[ank], Samantha Ong, Su Ling, Bawanie, Melody Teo and Jessica Soo plus Joel on the piano serenading me with two very emo songs that would've made me cry. Love all of you! I don't think I have any pictures with me here but I'll import the album from Facebook. Thank God for awesome people He has blessed me with.

Last but not least, coming to Hawaii to study. Woots! Thank God for allowing me to come here to study and to know more about His creations. I turned down a full scholarship offer just to come here to Hilo to get my Degree in Marine Science. Dumb move? I don't think so. I think He had all these planned out from the beginning. Thank GOD! I remember meeting Yu Yok in the airport, I remember moving in to my first room (C108, Hale Kauanoe) and meeting my first ever roommate, Andrew Hardy, who later moved out to Hale Kehau (the resident hall I'm in now) and getting a new and awesome roommate, Mr. Matthew Surerus! Meeting new people like Baby Picon, Jaymen and Jenny Junko Nakano xD! Awesome people! Joined (not officially, YET) Kaumana Drive Baptist church and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry. Grew closer to these people and enjoyed every second with them. Met awesome teachers that taught me well in my first semester (except Psychology 0.0). Got awesome grades and enjoyed my first semester here in UHH! Thank You, GOD! Thank You for everything You've done for me. Since the beginning of the year 2008, till this very time as I'm typing this post.

I would list down the names of my friends here in Hawaii but I'm afraid I might miss someone's name in the process. So it's best that I don't do that. All you need to know is that, I feel very blessed and happy that I got to meet all of you =). All of you have been a blessing to me, I hope I am the same to you. Everybody, whether you're from Malaysia or from Hawaii, a light coloured skin person or a dark coloured skin person, a Christian or a Muslim, a blonde or a brunette (or red haired people), clever or not so bright, short or tall, thin or fat like me, handsome (or pretty) or not so attractive like me, nice to be with or annoying, I thank God for every soul He has blessed me with.

Cheers to all of you as time passes by quickly in the last hours of 2008. Don't worry, 2009 will be awesome for you and me. I know it. I love all of you, and I love YOU, God...

Happy New Year to everyone in the earlier timezones and Happy Early New Year to everyone in the later timezones.

Oh...

I moved into my new room already =). And now, I'm gonna start on Twilight.

Christmas

Wondering how I spent my Christmas this year without my parents? No? You don't want to know? Well too bad, I'm still gonna share it with you guys. Har! <#-moto slang>Sucka!!

I reached Hilo around 6:30am on the 24th of December. Trebor came to pick me up from the airport around 7am... We went to McDonalds to get some breakfast. The chicken biscuit sandwich thingy is actually tasty. Haha! I hung out in Trebor's place till lunch time. We played some Wii Sports and Smashbros games to kill time. We had lunch with Jaime and friends (Trebor and Jaime's friends, new faces to me, except Daniel, I think I got his name right 0.0). Trebor sent me back to the dorms after lunch. I took a very long nap. Then in the evening I attended the Candle Light Christmas service in church. After the service we went to Jertina(Jerome and Christina)'s place to celebrate Christina's birthday. Happy 2Xth (I don't know the exact age 0.0)! God bless you! Had fun playing Signs. Awesome group game.

I went back home with #-moto to stay in his house for a couple of day. I think I've already mentioned this in my blog but I'm gonna mention it again; the #-moto Manor is so darn pretty! Marry me, #-moto!

My Christmas was awesome this year. I spent the time with the #-moto family. His parents are very nice people. His dad reminds me of my uncle (Uncle David) for some reason 0.0 Haha! Dave (need to use his first name here since his parents are also known as #-moto >.<) and I woke up around 8:30am-ish to help out his dad to prepare breakfast. I have some pictures of the awesome pancakes Dave prepared... Huge banana pancakes. Yum! Dave's dad is a good cook. He's Japanese but he cooked a Mexican dish (I forgot the name) very well, I think. Tasted good. After breakfast we opened presents. I got a present from the #-motos; Dave's old band's T-shirt... Thanks!

I'm not sure why some families here in the US have their Christmas dinner early on Christmas day. I think it's just tradition. We had our Christmas dinner around 3pm-ish... Yup, dinner. Haha! We went to this awesome place called Volcano House. It's at the same place as where the Young Adult group of Kaumana Drive Baptist Church went for the retreat few months ago. AWESOME FOOD! Buffet style some more... Babi, makan puas-puas.... Thanks again, #-motos!

The next day, I helped out Dave and Joel paint Dave's old house. I kinda enjoyed helping them. Haha! We had to stop work early that day because the rain was getting heavier and heavier every second. So Dave and I decided to join the Knocks and a Waihee to go to Kona for a one night and one day stay there. It was an awesome journey and an awesome time to "waste" with the friends He has blessed me with.

Kona was awesome! Four of us (a Knock, a Waihee, a #-moto and a Chandrasakaran) swam at night at the swimming pool. There were salt and chlorinated water in the pool 0.0 Haha! The next day four of us went to the End of the World/Earth (I forgot which) to jump off the cliff there. It wasn't as high as the South Point cliff but it's scary enough. It took me around 45 minutes to man up and take the leap. By that time Nick has already jumped off the cliff at least 4 times. Haha! It was awesome! I wanted to go again but I didn't have the guts to do it again. Gosh, regretted! Then we went to Hapuna beach; one of the few white sand beaches on the Big Island... Gosh, I love white sand beaches. Puts a smile on my face. I had a fun time with the Knocks, a Waihee and a #-moto...

That basically sums up my Christmas this year. Awesome? Yes =). Thank God...

I owe a Knock, a #-moto and a Waihee big time!

Pictures will be up as soon as I figure out how to grab it from my cellphone. Grrr...

Some Pictures

Some "briefing" before walking down to Haumana(sp?) Bay.

Some number plates at the Pearl Harbor memorial place.

The Laupolas.

Jaymen and I.








Haumana(sp?) Bay.




Jaymen's place.




Jasmine's room. They have two XBox-es 0.0 Haha!


Jaymen's game faces.







That beautiful-beach-which-name-I-cannot-remember.

Jaymen and his classmates.

Me.

Gah!

Grr... I just can't understand why must Verizon make it so difficult for me to download pictures from my cellphone to my computer, and to upload songs from my computer to the cellphone. This just sucks big time... To add salt to wound, my digital camera is seriously busted! GAH!!! Looks like technology just doesn't like me. Grr...

Okay, here's my abridged story of my Oahu trip: Left Hilo around 5:30PM-ish with Amber and Chase. I forgot that I'm not allowed to carry liquids into the airplane and I kinda like got stopped twice at the security checkpoint because of that. Grrr... First it was my shampoo (checked in my bag later), then my water bottle 0.0 Haha! My bad! Reached Honolulu airport around 6:45PM-ish. Amber's mum came to pick us up (Amber and I, Chase went with his parents I think). It was a long ride back to Aiea(sp?) where Amber and Jaymen lives. Never seen so many cars here on Hawaii till that night. Brings back memories of KL with its infamous high traffic, traffic jams and gridlockings xD. There aren't as many cars on the road in Hilo. Anyways, Amber's mum dropped me off at Jaymen's place. His house looks good. Small and simple, enough for the family. I kinda like the look of the house too. I met Jaymen's friends; Brent, Shannon and another girl's name who I've forgot. Then met Jaymen's family. It was all good. Didn't do much during the first night other than playing XBox and watching Fast and Furious.

After some sleep, we went to the Pearl Harbor place. SS Arizona I think. They named the place after a warship because they built the memorial on top of the remnants of the ship. My digital camera started PMS-ing and hence, not much pictures from that area. Have quite a few on my cellphone but just need to figure out how to download them into my computer. GRRR! We went to Jaymen's grandparents' house after that. I forgot what's the name of the place. We had our early dinner there. Then back home to Jaymen's place where we called Brent over to play more XBox.

The next day, Jaymen's family took me out to that Haumana(sp?) Bay where Jaymen and I went snorkeling while his dad was cruising somewhere else and Jasmine (his sister) and his mum were just sitting on the beach relaxing. It's a very beautiful place. A MUST go if you're planning to go to Honolulu for a holiday. Clear and pristine waters, colourful fishes, dull corals in the day 0.0 Haha! But it's all good. Snorkeling gear kinda expensive though. Just go to Walmart and get cheaper stuff there.

We were tired after that outing and I can't remember what we did after that. All I remember that it was a very long night 0.o Haha! Then the next day we went to a beach which the name I can never ever remember. I think I asked Jaymen twice already. Haha! It's not Waikiki, it's kinda like a few beaches by a few resorts but they're open to the public. Uber beautiful place. Jaymen says it's prettier than Waikiki beach. Plus, this place isn't as crowded as Waikiki. Brent picked me and Jaymen up to the beach where we met Jaymen's former classmates. Can't remember their names that well though. Played a few ummm, "inappropriate" games with them. Then we made our way to Pearl Ridge Mall(?) for lunch where Jaymen and I and a few other people bought food from some restaurants and ate our meal in Taco Bell xD Haha! Awesome. In the evening, Brent, Jaymen and I went to Ice Palace where we ice skated with Baby Picon, Ms. Jenny and Karla. It was fun. A bit too pricey for ice skating for me 0.0 Haha! After that we went hunting for frozen yogurt (or like how Erinn says it; fro-yo) but all of the shops were closed. So we decided to go to this ice cream place and we got some delicious ice cream. Yum yum. We made our way to an arcade area where we played pool and ping pong.

Jaymen passed me over to Baby Picon the next day. Went out with her and her parents for her birthday lunch. Island Burgers is the name of the restaurant I think. A MUST visit. I forgot the name of the shopping mall though. GAH! The prices are reasonable for the amount of serving they give us. Then for the rest of the day, Baby Picon went shopping while her parents and I followed closely behind xD haha!

That basically sums up my trip to Oahu. I'll upload the pictures some other time. I woke up like an hour ago to go grab my TB medicine. No, it's not serious. I have the virus in my body but it's not active but it will be active when I grow older. So yeah, gonna take the medications. It's free =). Thank GOD =). Oh yeah, don't worry when you're speaking to me face to face because my virus cannot be passed around since it's inactive. So, please don't avoid me? xD.

Now, back to sleep. Night night 0.0

Glory to God!

I got my results back! Muahahha! Glory to God!

GPA: 3.92 Woots! Was aiming for 4.0 but 3.92 seems alright for my first semester! No worries, 4.0 next semester then! WOOOOTSSS!

THANK GOD!!!!

Wasssuuuppp?!

I'm not sure if anyone ever visits my blog anymore but I'm still gonna be stubborn and update this almost dead blog whenever I'm free! Woots!

Yes, I'm back to Hilo from Oahu. I have some pictures both from my cellphone and my camera. Will post up the pictures when I'm free. I'm currently staying in #-moto's mansion. We're in my dorm room now just to use the internet since he his connection isn't that good in his mansion. House too big, signal not strong enough for the whole house xD Haha!

Oh, I busted my digital camera. It ain't working anymore. GRRR!

Oahu was alright. Thank God for awesome friends and their family! Especially the Laupolas! Thanks Jaymen and family for the awesome hospitality! Thanks for taking me around and showing me some places in Oahu. Thanks to the Picons too! You guys were awesome! God bless you all.

Will post a more elaborate story on my outing to Oahu next time.

Merry Christmas to all of you people! Love you all! God bless!

Woooooooots!

Woooots! I'm done with finals and the semester! Wooots! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! It has been an awesome first semester! All glory goes to Him for all the blessings He has poured out on my life! I thank God for the wonderful crowd that He has blessed me with! Seriously, without you guys, I would be facing too many problems and I would be super lonely and bored in wonderful Hilo. Thank God for you guys, God bless you all!

Psychology paper yesterday was alright. I didn't put in as much effort as I had for my other subjects because I took the Credit/No-Credit option for Psychology; means that all I need to do for this class is to get a C. Yeap, just a C. This doesn't affect my Cumulative GPA but it counts as one of my Social Sciences requirement. Wooots! I was shocked that we had to answer 152 multiple choice questions! Haha! It was all good though.

After the exam, I had dinner. Then went out with #-moto to go get some dinner for himself. Then we stopped by some movie shooting thingy near Erinn's place. We waited for like 15 minutes for something to happen but nothing happened. I think it's kinda like a big movie, I don't know. Then we went to Erinn's place. Chit-chatted for awhile, then movie time! #-moto and I met up with Erinn and Trebor in the cinema to watch The Day The Earth Stood Still. It's kinda a nice movie. It's not your typical alien invasion movie where humans battle out with aliens and stuff. It's kinda like an eye opener to me. No spoilers here xD. Go watch it =P.

"If the Earth dies, you die. But if you die, the Earth doesn't die."

We hung out at the cinema parking lot, Walmart parking lot and then we headed for Kens. So nice to just fellowship with these people. Can't wait for Scuba Diving and snorkeling and spear fishing this break.

Can't wait for OAHU! Wooots! Will be flying off in 12 hours time. Got loads of stuff to do later today. Need to do my laundry, need to put clothes into suit case so that when I come back from Oahu, it will be easy for me to transfer my stuff to a new room. Woots! Can't wait! Can't wait!

Thank God for all the blessings He has poured on me, thank You, Lord!

Forgive me, Lord, for I have sin. Thank You for the people around me, motivating me in every step I take. They're like Guardian Angels that You've assign to me. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

*dance*

WOOOTS!! ONE MORE PAPER TO GO! No motivation to study for this exam... Gah! Psychology, don't have to study hard for it. All I need is a C... Gah!!!!!

This weeks has been an awesome week. Yes, life here in Hilo without examinations is so boring. You can ask Trebor how boring is it. Even the last movie in the cinema is at 10:15PM.... 10 frigging 15 PM! What happened to midnight movies?! Haha! Super dead town at night.

Anyways, thank God for His blessings! I can never have gone through this week without His guidance and blessings! Calculus exam was alright. I was expecting for a much more difficult paper but I'm not gonna complain... Haha! I didn't know how to do like two questions, but it's all good. I did some workings for those questions, can get some marks from there. Right after the Calculus paper on Monday, I had Chemistry. The paper was easy. Seriously, I was shocked. But not gonna complain xD. Thank God! My final grade for Chemistry is A (99.4% or something like that). Glory to God!

On Tuesday I had my Marine Biology Cellular Processes paper. Thank God this paper wasn't cumulative. Just two to four weeks of work required a large amount of time to review for the exam. Expecting an A from that class. Then on Wednesday (yesterday) I had my Marine Biology Diversity paper.

Guess what? I woke up late for that paper. I woke up 30 minutes late! Haha! I jumped off my bed, changed, and walked to my class. No, I didn't drink any water, I didn't brush my teeth nor wash my face, just took my bag that contained my pencil case in it and walked; fast 0.0 Haha! The paper was kinda easy. Thank God for this miracle =). When I entered the class, almost every student turned their heads. That was frigging embarrassing... I just smiled at my lecturer, took my paper, and sat down at the back of the class. My lecturer asked me whether I was feeling alright or not. Haha. All I did was smile =). Well, that's now behind me, gonna review my Psychology now. Been fooling around the whole day.

I biked to Erinn's place to go to a club (Shooters) just right below where she lives. She never been there before. So we decided to go check out the place. Man, it was boring. I mean, it isn't as good compared to the clubs in Malaysia, even though I've never been to a club before. The music wasn't that good but I had a good time. Felt like a dork though. I was carrying a bag and I wore surf shorts. Haha! And we danced, danced and danced. Then I biked back to campus. It was a long bike. Haha!

Oh, I just got back my bike from Nigen =). The brakes aren't working properly. Super long bike trip plus loads of long uphills. Knees are celebrating now while I'm sitting down. Haha!

I never wanna go to a club again, unless I don't have any choice. Good experience though.

Thank God for the safe journey and awesome time =).

Quarantine

I will never, ever, ever, watch, a, horror, movie, again. Never!!!! Yesh, I'm a wussy, I admit! No more horror movies, no more! NO MOREEE! It's a good movie but, nuh-uh... Never again! NEVER!!!!

Need to study now =(. Forgetful boy.

Fridayyyy!!!

Whoa! Long Friday =). Woke up quite early for a holiday, around 8-9AM I think. Did some revision and then went down to the Verizon shop near Walmart. Gosh, I feel bad for spending so much money this month, even after canceling the camera deal. Looks like I really need two jobs next semester. I want that Online Webmaster job real badly. I'm not godlike in that field, but I have the skill. And we're gonna be using some online software anyways, that would be easy. Gah! If I get that job, the pay I get will be used to pay off my phone bills. Sheesh, why must all nice and good things be so frigging expensive in Hawaii? *pouts*

After getting my new phone and a phone plan, I went out with Erinn to a sushi place. Tasted alright. I had a little too much of wasabi 0.0 Never really liked it but, I kinda need it for the Octopus and the Calamari sushi. Haha! We had green ice cream after the sushi, it tasted real good. Yummy stuff. Then we went picture taking with her Nikon D80. She's good 0.0

Came back to the dorms and did some light reviewing on Calculus. Then went Jerotina's (Christina and Jerome) house for some caroling practice. Trebor gave me and Paul a ride to the place. Had fun singing 0.0 The song is stuck in my head now... "Merry merry merry merry, Christmas..." Forgot the name of the song though 0.0 My bad xD After the practice, a few of us (me, Trebor, nick, Jason, Christina and Jerome) played some board games and stuff. I finally gotten a chance to actually play Twisters. I like it but it was super torturing. Curse these fats of mine. Gah!

We chit-chat-ed after the games and yeah, I'm back now, to my room. Currently going through my test papers and quizzes in my Marine Biology Diversity class. Gonna sleep soon, I hope.

I forgot that I have practice later today at 10AM! Haha! This is bad, this is bad. Thank you Christina for reminding me!

Woots, good times, good times.

Oh Yeah...

I got promoted from being a Monitor, to a Reader for the University Disability Services department. Means, I'll be getting paid a little bit (really little 0.0) higher than what I usually get. Thank God =).

But guess what? I received an email from my Marine Biology lecturer, asking me whether I wanna be her tutor for her Diversity and Cellular Processes class or not. GOSH! I'm super duper packed next semester 0.0 Argh...

Thank God for the blessings =).

Sleep =)

Whoa! Days without naps are just so slow going. I think for the pass one week and a few days, I only took like a cumulative of 2-3 hours of nap. I sleep late and wake up early most of the time. I finally felt the tiredness and fell asleep for almost 12 hours! Haha! Yes, I went to bed just minutes after 8PM last night, and woke up around 7:14AM just now. Woots! Feel refreshed and rejuvenated; till I started reading Psychology *smacks head* Well, thank God for the awesome rest and now I can ignore Psychology till next Thursday (my last paper, woots!). Studying Chemistry now. Kinda worried about Chemistry since I didn't do so well in my last test. Everybody did badly in the class but that shouldn't be a reason or an excuse for me to feel good about myself >.< I'm now reviewing Chapter 4 and am feeling hungry. Gah! I need some peanut butter and jelly sandwich =(. BCM had that for yesterday's Free Lunch! xD

I didn't do any studying for almost 6 hours yesterday! Gosh, the regret and the guilt! It was worth it though. I hung out after getting out from my Chemistry lecture class early at the BCM till lunch time. Played some checkers and scrabbles with Nate to kill time. After eating those beautiful peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Zach and I made our way to the Chemistry lab for our Lab Finals. I'm kinda confident that I can get an A even though I don't know how to answer two questions from the paper. Haha.

After the exam I went back to the BCM to kill some time before John the Baptist Collegiate Ministry gives me a ride to go get my diving equipment. These people are so fun to be with. Gosh, if only there was a mamak here, that will be super awesome cool.

And yes, I finally bought my very own diving equipment. I have most of the stuff except a tank (0.0) and the lead weights. I bought a compass because, I'm in Hawaii 0.0 Haha! All I need next are a knife, lead weighs and a pony tank =). Woots! Gonna go for a refreshment dive this coming break. Anyone wanna be my buddy?

Argh! Study Chemistry now, Jon! You fat little piglet... Eat and sleep so much... GOSH! Need to finish Chemistry by tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Oh, I'm not getting the Nikon D80 anymore. But I'm getting Verizon xD

Rumah Kopi!

Woooooohhhhoooooo!!!! The BCM had the last Rumah Kopi(Coffee House) yesterday evening. So cool! Not much Christmas carols though =(. I hate like two cups of coffee just because it was the last Coffee House for this semester. Wooohooo!

Before that, Erinn and I went for a run... Okay, not Erinn and I... She ran, I walked most of the way. Too fat, sprained my back a bit... She's super good... I'm like, wow. And I took off my glasses before I ran so all I saw was a small blur red spot running super far in front of me... Haha! You'll do well, Erinn!

I'm tired now... So sleepy... Not because of the run, it's because I've not been sleeping early and no naps in the day. So, gonna go offline soon.

Thanks Erinn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insufficient Fundings.

Last Friday was the best Friday ever in my life so far. That Friday morning started out normal, waking up around 7:40AM, walked to class, did my Chemistry test and then came back to my room by 11AM. And that's it... I didn't go swimming because I was frigging tired. And the plan was to cook some Mi Goreng for #-moto. So, was just surfing the net after Chemistry test and bumming in the room. Then I IMed Erinn to ask her to come eat lunch with us too. So she did. Started cooking around 1PM. That instant noodle Mi Goreng tasted sooo awesome... And I used one Brahim's and the Rendang Chicken packets edi. Haha! Hope both of you liked it.

After that we just hung out and chatted with each other. #-moto showed us some pictures of him when his cheeks was super bloated 0.0 Haha! Then we Skyped with Tess, #-moto's baby girl. Haha! Her teeth is so white. You guys should see how both Tess and #-moto manja(Malay word for pamper, acting cute) with each other. So frigging cute. Haha! Then after Skype-ing with Tess, we went to go get some Poke; raw fish, a Hawaiian delicacy. NO, it ain't sashimi. Poke tasted so dam frigging awesome. That Spicy Tuna Poke was the bomb, man. Tasted super duper yummy. I want more, but insufficient fundings.

Got the poke, then #-moto and Erinn wanted to get some shave ice. I don't know what's so special about the shave ice here. People are kinda like, wow-ed because of shave ice. I mean, it taste awesome but, it's just shave ice 0.0 Well, those flavours that Erinn and #-moto picked tasted awesome too.

Then we went back to school, I was late for my meeting. After 40-50 minutes in the meeting, I came out to attend some Astronomy talk with Erinn. It's super Physics stuff. I was super blur 0.0 Haha! It's kinda interesting though, binary stars. >.< Not my cup of eggnogtea. After the talk, both Erinn and I went to go eat in the school's cafeteria while Mr. #-moto disappeared to somewhere. Dam ninjas... Anyways, Erinn got a free meal (thank God) and we ate a lot.

After the dinner, we went to Messica's (Merrell+Jessica) house for Rachel's farewell party. #-moto was like, hey, just come along... Haha, so we did. We had some fellowship-ing and we played the game, Gestures (I think). It was a super awesome game. And I found out the hard and embarrassing way that underwear (briefs), ain't called spender here... And the next time you wanna act out for your friends to guess "spender" in the US, never make an underwear pattern. NEVER!

Rachel left the Big Island at 6AM (I think), and now I think she'll be almost reaching her destination (or already reached the destination 0.0). Whichever it is, I pray that she'll be guided by the Holy Spirit and she'll persevere, till her job is done in that place. I didn't know what to say to her in the party when everybody was wishing her... I was like... "Hi Rachel, nice to meet you, God bless..." I really didn't know what else to say... Well, nice to meet you, Rachel. Hope to see you again.

Me and Nick. I was using the balloon to annoy him. All he did was laugh and said it felt weird. *echo*

Me and Erinn.

Yesterday I woke up early (around 9AM) to attend praise and worship practice for today's service later at 11:30AM. Then I went for the food drive thingy at Safeway where Jerome, Nick and I played some Christmas carols. Man, you guys need Feliz Navidad... It's the fecesawesomest song, ever! After that we went to Jack in a Box. Thank you son-of-pastor Nick for spending me lunch (I owe you my life now, I think 0.o?). After lunch I went to hunt for a new phone line/plan. Too expensive man.. Super expensive. Americans are being cheated everyday by their fellow Americans. Sorry about that. But looks like I need to get cheated too because it's the cheapest option of being cheated when it comes to phone plans and stuff. Gosh, being cheated ain't fun. Stupid Verizon.


Nick learning how to play the ukulele for the carols thingy. Jerome teaching him.
Me, the Mojoplaying the djemba drums. Super duper high. Brings back memories of Christmas caroling with Rangers. Wait, only two times, but, still memories, right?
