This is 2012 people!

2012-02-14T01:39:00.009+08:00

Time really flies doesn't it? The last time I posted something I thought I wanted to start blogging consistently again but guess what, it's been more than 6 months since then. I guess even Yup couldn't make a difference lol. This is supposed to be a post made at the beginning of the year to sum up 2011 but I guess since you have a lazy author like me, you'll have to pretend we're back in time on the 31st of December once again.

2011 was an interesting year. Similar to all other years in my life, it was a year where many unforgettable memories were created. A year where I said words I never should have. A year where conversations changed my life for the better or for the worse. A year where I've faced situations I've always wished I would not have to face in life. But at the same time also a year full of days worth remembering. There were ups and downs but I hope one day I'll be able to say, I'll never want to change a thing that happened in 2011. Someone once told me, every mistake you make is a lesson learnt. So I guess I'll have to learn from my mistakes and enjoy the happy moments that squeezes in between those mistakes. After all, all the stupid stuff you've done in life contributed to what you are today. :)

Well, to sum up very briefly what happened in 2011, I'll just post random stuff that drives by my mind.

Proudly completed my final year project with my awesome teammates Kok Poh Sing and Joanne Ng. Couldn't have completed it without the brain and the master of glue. :D

our 30cm tall, 19.2gm balsa wood structure able
to withstand roughly 300N (30kg) of load.

hard work paid off. :)

#2
Graduated with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
together with this bunch of err..engineers?

We may look like a bunch of nerds..

..but we're actually..

..~~lifeguards~~ much more than that. :)

you all better be good engineers on my behalf!

I discovered I really enjoyed hiking.

Out of the few I've managed to ~~walk~~ hike,

I think Bukit Tabur was the most

challenging and enjoyable one.

(Excluding Mt Kinabalu of course)

Definitely worth attempting.

SMILE. :D

Yes, I agree hiking IS dangerous.

In fact, I've witnessed first hand
somebody falling right in front of me.

However, I guess sometimes in life we have to
be willing to risk a little for what we love to do.

I'm sure Esmonde won't agree with me on this lol.

Mt Kinabalu, you're next. ;)

Bid farewell to David Tai Jun Hong.

now tell me who wouldn't love him?

..he'll be back. ;)

Joined the campus training in KL

these are the brothers I love. :)

Training is a place where you'll be

certain you've used your time wisely.

Simply put, it's the best place to be in. :)

Ran my first marathon. HEEEE. :D

I know many of you have ran 84732915 kilometres but for me this was a brand new experience. Though it was only 11km, I find it quite challenging having no prior training nor experience. I literally just wore my shirt and pants, tied my shoelace and start running with an ipod in hand. Tired definitely but I had loads of fun. Good stuff. More to come more to come. :)

Went on an unforgettable trip with the campus from PeeJay to Sabah.

Tambunan. ♥

Really enjoyed the entire trip.

See how happy we were?

I guess this trip deserves a post by itself.

I just don't know when. :/ *getting death stares*

Made one of the biggest decision in my life

switched from Mechanical Engineering to Finance and Accounting..

..in Help University College.

People always ask me why? I don't have a clue lol.

Met a whole new bunch of..

..real nerdy classmates who pays attention in class..

..but knows how to have fun after class.

Not to mention each of them have their own unique super powers.

For example, Jasmine can..

..twist her face when provoked. kidding lol.

I have a lot to learn from them. This coming from a guy who knows

how to play after class but also play during class. -.-

#10

Had a great time with God's little children :)

children camp 2011

children blending in Aman Suria

Love these children.

#11

Had a very meaningful trip with the Kampar/Kuching/PJ campus to Ipoh, Manjung, Penang, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, and Kuantan. Too bad I wasn't able to join them for the first half of the blending to Subang Jaya, Tanjung Malim, Selayang, Kuala Lumpur, Kampar and Cameron Highlands but it was enjoyable nonetheless. My first time visiting Kota Bharu. :)

This is the super-cute Nehemiah Lee from Penang.

Our trademark blown-off-by-the-wind photos lol.

This was in Kuala Terengganu. Really strong wind

blowing consistently from the..south china sea..?

Didn't really take pictures there.

You can see more on Esmonde's blog.

Regardless whether the churches in these localities are big or small, they're all bright golden shining lampstands. :)

So these are the first 10 things that

comes to mind when I think of 2011.

I guess that briefly sums up my year.

(update: I just realize there's 11 things after recounting so I'm just gonna leave it that way lol.)

Though I'm not a resolution kind of guy cause I know usually, if not always, I fail to achieve most, if not all of my resolutions, I still decided to make one for the sake of it. These are some things I hope to achieve in 2012.

1) Be serious and do well in your studies!

Don't disappoint your parents, Leon.

Do your best even if you must disappointing them.

2) Complete a 21km half marathon!

Last year-11km

This year- 21km half marathon

Next year- ~~42km full marathon~~ heheheh.

3) Keep my weight below 75 kg by the end of the year.

To all my skinny friends, don't be jealous.

To all my fat friends, we're all in this together.

Eat vege and exercise!

4) Read the Lord's word everyday.

Busy should never be an excuse. Period.

5) Climb Mt Kinabalu
If given the chance of course. :D

6) Be able to play guitar in meetings by the end of the year.
Don't always depend on others. Be useful!

Alright I think that's enough talking..

Let's stop wasting time..

..and get straight to business.

Goodbye!

I'm back. :)

2011-07-14T19:34:00.002+08:00

Hello all my non-existent loyal readers. :)

miss me?

Fret not cause..

I'm back! :D

oops..

sorry wrong person.

that's me. :)

truth to be told, I've been so lifeless recently that I've
been spending more time with dogs than with humans.

Let me introduce you to my friend.

His name is

Yup.

Yup, you've heard it.
He's Yup.

These few days,

Yup has been a really good companion.

he never fails to spend time with me

and when I pester him..

he even agrees to teach me some of his tricks.

However, there is one problem.
He can't talk!

things can get really boring at times,

when we stare at each other the whole afternoon.

no talking,

no singing,

not even arguing.

Which is why I decided,
maybe it's time I start blogging again. :)

don't worry I won't abandon Yup just like that.
I explained to him and..

..told him to come blog together. :D

Guess you'll be hearing more from me now that Yup is helping.

I know this post is just full of crap but please don't blame me.

Cause..

Yup typed most of it. :P

Goodbye!

Agendum

2010-03-13T03:05:00.006+08:00

Inspired by Esmonde's Tasks, which in turn was also inspired by Hui Linn's Typical Rant, I'm gonna write about mine.

I'm currently sitting in front of the laptop at 2.30am of this typical Saturday morning. Stuffed in my brain with this huge to-do-list, I am now writing this blog post to tell my fellow readers that I'm still alive. :)

First off, I've got to finish my long overdue compilation of the children's materials I'm supposed to help out. Not to mention there'll be 2 video training sessions today (Saturday) starting 4.30pm followed by the 2nd session which will only end at 9pm. I'll be dead tired by then but I'll still have to labour on the HWMR to ensure there'll be mutuality in the Lord's table meeting on the Lord's day morning.

On top of that I believe it's time for me to START flipping through the pages of my "Principles of Electric Engineering" book as I'll be having my test two for the aforementioned subject on Monday. Regardless whether I do well or not, I'll not be able to take a nap as there'll be two more tests the following day (Tuesday) which is the Mechanics of Materials test one which though I've started studying I literally don't understand more than 90% of the whole subject and Fluid Mechanics test one which I HAVEN started studying yet. Not to mention I'm also way behind my bible reading schedule and yes, I need to write musical notes/numbers for the children hymns too. I'm seriously in big trouble. Shoot, there's still Engineering maths 2 tutorials and a lot of Thermodynamics revisions to do!

I know I've gotta start updating my blog more often! It's slowly becoming another..chore. Sigh.

On another note, for those Justin Bieber fans out there (you know who you are), watch the video below. I find it uber adorable! :D

PS: I'm not a Justin Bieber fan in any way and yes, despite the many tasks listed above I still manage to find time for youtube. x)

Goodbye.

Jealousy kills.

The effect of Kenny Sia hyperlinks

2010-03-02T02:02:00.002+08:00

As we all know, diaries are a person's personal memoir full of secrets only the writer who pens those discreet words should ever know. However, few days ago a friend of mine pointed out that nowadays blogs, which are supposed to be an e-diary are doing the total opposite. The aim of each blog is to get as many readers as possible. The more readers the better. In fact, when no one reads your blog it actually makes the writer feel there's no point writing anymore which is often my case lol. Well, you don't hear someone complaining no one reads his/her diary do you? Therefore, blogs are simply not diaries.

There are many ways to increase traffic to your blog. Personally I feel one of the best and easiest way is the have your blog link posted on someone famous's blog. It really works! As a loyal follower of Kenny Sia, I've noticed that from time to time he does post hyperlinks of people related to his posts and these hyperlinks DO make a difference.

Being a professional stalker, I wanted to know the effect of such hyperlinks so I traced one of Kenny Sia's "victim's" traffic report and true enough her visitors did increase tremendously!

Below is a detailed process of my investigation. x)

1) While reading Kenny Sia's blog I stumbled upon a hyperlink by the name of JacJac. Curious to know the effect of such a hyperlink on a celebrity blogger's page, I entered JacJac's blog.

2) As expected, her visitors soared for the day Kenny Sia posted her link and the few days after. Kenny Sia posted her link on a post dated 22nd February. On the 22nd of February itself, her visitors jumped to 583 which is almost 5 times as much as the previous day of 121 visitors. However, the number of visitors didn't stop there but rather increased further till 1052 visitors the following day. The reason may be due to more people visiting Kenny Sia's blog the next day. Notice the obvious increase on the left of the graph too? I was curious as well so I traced back where most people entered her blog from.

3) 90 visitors came from cheeserland!

4) To further verify my claim, I entered cheeserland and true enough a small hyperlink of JacJac was found.

Darn! I'm good at stalking! :P Sorry JacJac I didn't mean to stalk you lol.

It doesn't take a lot of mentioning. Just a word or two in a sentence of a famous blog and there you go blasting your way to a train full of visitors. :) However, this is only a temporal boost in visitors. You'll still require entertaining post to keep visitors from returning otherwise you'll lose them in a few days or a weeks time.

Of course, you can also do it the hard way like Kenny Sia. He started from scratch to be one of Malaysia's best bloggers but you'll need to be really talented willing to squeeze all those precious brain juice of yours to attract visitors.

As for me, I don't have as much brain juice as Kenny Sia nor do I know any famous celebrity blogger who's willing to hyperlink me so I guess I'll just have to find a way to irritate Kenny Sia.

Hopefully he'll get irritated and post something like..

That will be the day. :)

I want a baby!

2010-02-21T17:12:00.002+08:00

I know this is lame but I badly want a baby lol. Had breakfast with my cousins from Aussie and man were their babies cute! Seeing those innocent chubby faces of theirs and the joy on their mothers face makes me want to have babies of my own. I know this sounds so wrong. Haha. I know how difficult it is to raise a child. My parents told me all their stories of waking up in the middle of the night just to feed me milk, using all sorts of ways to pacify me whenever I cry for no reason at all. Undeniably, babies are high maintenance. However, the joy of having a 'duplication' of yourself far surpasses the time and effort required, right? It's a known fact considering how rapidly the population of the world is increasing. Okay, accidental births aside. Haha. Right now, I just want a baby! Any babies up for adoption? :)

Well, these are my cousin's babies. The babies who make me want to have my own babies. ;) The babies who actually refer to me as their uncle. Yes. I'm literally known as uncle Leon. =.=" Well, it's true. Their twins btw.

The twins.

Ultra cute right?

C'mon just admit it.

However, there's only one problem.

Why are all babies so scared of me?!

See her smiling when my grandma holds her?

See her smiling when my mum holds her?

Now see her ~~smiling~~ crying when I hold her?

This is so unfair.

Wait, what am I talking about, babies?

I don't even have a gf to begin with lol!

I don't care. :P

Nice toy right?

Okay, I'm so gonna kidnap you. =)

Goodbye.

Vocaloid

2010-02-13T15:19:00.011+08:00

Few days ago, my sister played a song on the laptop she claimed was in english but no matter how hard I try, I just couldn't believe it was in english. It sounded totally Japanese! Well, I only believed after reading the lyrics as 'she' sang. If you have the time, try it yourself. I find this rather hillarious.

First, listen to the song without reading the lyrics and tell me whether you think it's in english or not.

Next read the lyrics as 'she' sings, then reconsider.

Lyrics:
Looking at the starry sky, I wish that you would be

That light shining upon me
How I wonder where you are right now
And if you are with somebody else
I think back on all the times - the times we used to share
It hurts so deep inside me
I am at the movie cinema by myself
I sit and cry alone

That someone I love right now is far away
So far away, my tears will not stop flowing
Tomorrow, I know there is still hope for me
So I lay myself to sleep and bid you good night

I still, I still, I love you
I'm waiting, waiting forever
I still, I still, I love you
And I'm never gonna stop
HEY!

In the middle of my sleep, a dream makes me relive
The memory of that one day
I recall our conversation
You were not totally honest with me
Even though you held me so, told me you won't let go
I was your one and only
You along with all your promises
Disappear away into the night

I will search for you until the end of time
I will search for you for all of eternity
So I sleep and when I open up my eyes,
I just want to feel your presence in the morning

I lost, I lost, I lost you
You're making, making my music
I lost, I lost, I lost you
Will we never meet again?
NO!!

That someone I love right now is far away
So far away, my tears will not stop flowing
Tomorrow, I know there is still hope for me
So I lay myself to sleep and bid you good night

That someone I love right now is far away
So far away, my tears will not stop flowing
So I sleep and when I open up my eyes,
I just want to feel your presence in the morning

I still, I still, I love you
I'm waiting, waiting forever
I still, I still, I love you
And I'm never gonna stop

I still, I still, I love you
I'm waiting, waiting forever
I still, I still, I love you
And I will see you again
Yeah!!!

-end-

Told you it's in english! Haha..

Well, fortunately it's not literally sang by a human. It's sang by Hatsune Miku, a vocaloid 2 character. For those of you with no idea what vocaloid is, click here. For the sake of those who are too lazy to click, it's actually a singing synthesizer application developed by Yamaha Corporation that enable users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. Haha..

Hatsune Miku on the other hand is a Character Vocal Series that utilizes Yamaha's Vocaloid 2 technology by recording the voice of Saki Fujita, a Japanese voice actress as the voice sample. The programmed vocals are designed to sound like an idol singer from the future.

Each Japanese Vocaloid is given specifications on age, height, weight, and musical strengths (genre, pitch range and ideal tempos). Cool right. As for Hatsune Miku, she's born on the 31st of August 2007. Two and a half years old lols!

This is how they describe her:

Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old girl with long green pigtails and a voice with a range no human could ever hope to match. She is a virtual singer with a computer-synthesized voice, a work by creators who met on the Internet. Many of the songs she sang have proven to be so appealing that the music industry cannot ignore her. She has developed into a singer with a large worldwide following.

Want to hear her incredible speed? Click here.
Want to know more about her? Click here.

Just the thought of hearing a computer sing is exciting enough. Unlimited pitches, incredible song speed.

Who knows, this might be the future of pop music.

For those with no idea what I'm saying, nevermind.

Just listen and smile. :)

The ugly truth about photography.

2010-02-07T02:37:00.061+08:00

During my previous trip to Port Dickson, I and a few friends were given the task to search for the nicest and most affordable hotel/resort available there. Well, I know 'nicest' and 'most affordable' don't always go together but at least look for a hotel/resort worth staying. After all, we're just a bunch of typical students with limited budget looking for freedom in a land not too far away from home. The thought of not seeing our parents for a day makes the trip even more enjoyable. Dad, mum please don't read this post. I know you're here. =="

Okay, enough crap. Anyway, we spent quite some time searching through all the available resorts and googling through all rates, facilities etc. Finally I came to a conclusion, they all look really nice. The beaches are white, with gyms, steam baths, clean clear swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts, ~~beautiful receptionists~~ and so on. However, the ugly truth was revealed the moment we arrived there. Pictures are always nicer than reality. With professional photographers and photoshop experts, even the dirtiest toilets may appear like the Presidents fish bowl.

Well, pictures speak a thousand words. Here are the comparisons of pictures taken off the internet VS pictures taken first hand by us. See the difference and tell me if you'd be disappointed.

PS: ORIGINAL means it's stolen somewhere off the internet while those without any label are the ones taken by us, first hand. :)

1) Chorus Paradise Resort. I guess the beautiful crescent shaped beachfront is their pride with tall healthy palm trees lining along the coast greeting guest as they look out their window. At least that's what it seems from these pictures off some website promoting Chorus Paradise Resort.

Beautiful right? Don't you just wanna drive there NOW?

They even claim it's a journey through paradise.

Well, this is the original picture.

Not even close to the toilet of paradise I tell you.

I've got no idea what those ugly wooden goal post are for. Like anyone would dare play football beside that dirty pond? Besides, what's with the green foamy filter behind? Looks more like the filter my dad uses to clean fish poo. Still dare to swim? =.="

And to make matters worse, there's even this pipe thing nearby.

Hotel sewage? Who knows.
I don't want to swim in your poo!

2) Next, we come to the Chorus Paradise Resort's swimming pool overlooking the 'beautiful' sea.

Just look at that crystal clear swimming pool with that awesome honeymoon scenery. The waters so clear even his blue swim trunks are clearly visible lols!

Well, this is the actual site. Kind of saddening don't you think? Extemely dirty swimming pool, ugly and unorganized palm trees (where's the queue?), ~~angry skies~~, annoying green-fish-poo filter, etc.

3) Cute chalet houses on clear calm sea beside clean beach.

Don't you just wanna stay there listening to the chopping sea from atop the waves?

Sorry lah bro, I prefer to stay on land. =.="

Just look at that black thing? Oil spill or something?!

4) Beach side of Glory Beach Resort

Looks nice right? As I mentioned earlier, don't you just love those sandy white beaches?

I know you do.

Well, this is the ugly truth.

To all hotel/resort managers, I'm not being biased,
I'm just stating the ugly truth and unfortunately,
you know it's true. :(

Well I've gotta be fair too, of course they're nice places and scenery in Port Dickson too. This I cannot deny. For example the image below taken from the balcony, if you consider it nice that is.

I'm just stating my dissatisfaction with the above resorts.
Unfortunately, we checked into one of them during our stay there.
And that's the ugly truth about photography.

Maybe next time, this should be our tourism campaign ad. :)

Goodbye.

a disappointing accident on a tired night.

2010-01-30T12:27:00.012+08:00

Isn't it ironic that the very same day I changed my

personal message on windows live messenger,

this happened.

Though it looks bad from some angles,

the picture above proves it's not serious ok!

I'm not a bad driver. just hit the gate.
and am truly disappointed. ==

goodbye.

How to handstand?

2010-01-23T01:02:00.006+08:00

Ever wondered how people manage to do handstands so easily while you're having difficulty with monkey bars? A few weeks ago I went to PD with a bunch of friends and after a few tries, we finally found the secret! All of us were able to do handstands after just a few minutes of practice!

Don't believe me?

Take a look yourself!

Regardless of our sizes..

~~fat~~ big or

small.

We all made it.

Surprised? I know you are.

Actually there's a secret to performing handstands and I can guarantee you by the time you finish this post you'll be able to perform one yourself.

First off, you'll need the following:

1) A DSLR camera

2) two friends (if possible, choose those who are much bigger than you are)

3) A camera man who knows how to use his DSLR

4) A lot of patience

So how was it done?

Step #1

Use your hands to support your weight while your other two friends hold your legs to prevent you from falling.

A closer picture of how step one is done.

Step #2

Your two friends will have to let go your legs at the exact same second.

If possible, JUMP! that way, your friends would be able to move away more quickly. The point is not to get them in the picture. Get it?

However, chances are you're still gonna be in the picture the first few tries so don't forget to smile just in case the camera snaps you too. :D

Step #3

As soon as your two friends let their hands go and jump away, the camera man is required to snap immediately! If possible use the multiple shot feature and count 3, 2, 1 to get everyone synchronized.

There you go!

Your professionally fake handstand. (:

Feeling proud now? Hahaha..

Of course with such secrets and wonderful techniques,

you shouldn't just stay at handstands alone.

You can continue doing

one handstands,

or even nike handstands.

Of course you'll need to be patient as mistakes are often made.

Cool right? Go show off to your friends la losers. xD

This one is real one! Hahaha..

Now everyone can handstand! :D

Or if these are still too difficult for you,

then just impress your friends with the swing lah!

I'm impressed! :D

Goodbye.

2009

2010-01-07T18:45:00.006+08:00

2009 is history

Wake up! We're in 2010!

I know this should be up years ago.

My holidays started on the 21st of December. Then, I told myself to be a good blogger, not to disappoint my readers and to blog more often. Little did I know this would be the longest I've not posted since I started blogging. Don't get me wrong. It was never my intention to abandon you readers but I've been kinda 'busy'! Same old excuse lol.

I've had one of the most enjoyable holidays ever! Almost every single day of my holidays were utilized and not wasted sleeping at home. :D Till now I've not missed my college life yet and I'm enjoying every moment of my holidays. However, holidays do come to an end and mine's ending in 4 days. ):

Overall, other than a few major hiccups, 2009 was a very memorable one. I experienced ups and downs. Though mostly downs, I really enjoyed each and everyone of my ups. :) Every time a new year begins, people will ponder upon millions of thoughts as to what they'll achieve in the next 365 days. Whether resolutions will be met, whether dreams will come through. However at the same time they'll also look back and hopefully say,

2009 was a wonderful year!

Well, my 2009 was okaaay. I realized many things in life are seriously overrated. We may dream of many things in life only to be disappointed the moment we really achieve them. The fact is, you'll never really be satisfied. Therefore, stop wasting time! Stop trading gold for dust.

I know it's already the 7th of January today but please just pretend it's the 31st of December 2009 okay? :) To end this year, I shall post about whatever comes to my mind as a short summary of 2009.

#1
Went for the 3 months Gospel Truth Life Service Perfecting Training 08/09 session which ended on March'09.

Redeemed my time. (:

In a sense, 3 months ain't short but I've never regretted attending any trainings before cause I know every second I spent there isn't a waste of time. I thank the Lord for showing me mercy and allowing me to attend such a glorious training. I confess by myself I would never be able to separate out 3 months for Him. Praise the Lord that He hasn't given up on me!

#2
Got my SPM results

Satisfied. :)

#3
Started my college life

I spent a day in HELP UC, a month in KBU and finally settled down in SEGi UC. College life may be much less stressful but I definitely missed my secondary school life. Of course they're pro and cons but overall, secondary school life beats college life flat! Therefore, to all secondary school-ers, don't look forward to college. It's not what you think or at least it wasn't what I thought it was. However, I know very well that I can't stay in secondary school forever and I accept the fact that I've gotta move on in life. It's just an educational pathway and it'll be silly to dream of remaining in secondary school forever.

#4
Started my very own blog

leonblanc.blogspot.com
I've wasted 17364529472548164 hours on this!

#5
Got my driving license

This is probably one of the most important highlights of my 2009.

One of my many childhood dreams completed. I remember I ever
wondered whether I'll live till the day I drive a car. Guess I did. :D

#6
Accepted friends from all races

I learned to mix around with everyone regardless of their race. It was awkward initially considering the fact that I've been studying in a 99% Chinese populated school for the past 5 years.

We may have different cultures but we're all humans!

#7
Successfully organized a surprise party for Lee Chin Ming

Glad I made the-boy-who-last-updated-his-blog-three-months-ago

his day.

#8
Bid farewell to a few friends studying overseas

Australia

Russia

#9
Went to Lake Toba, Indonesia

The first country besides Malaysia and
Singapore I actually step my feet on.

Those who often travel disregard the excitement of going overseas. To them it isn't a big deal. Well for me, each time I land on a different country, I look forward to understanding other people's way of life. The things they do, the environment they live in, the food they eat and ultimately how different their life is from mine in all aspects whether big or small. It's always my dream to travel round the globe one day. There are those who often tell me I think highly of traveling cause I seldom have the chance to. They say I have deep impressions of faraway places I've been to cause it's a fairytale to me. Well, I'm not saying it ain't true but I'll only realize that the day I travel round the globe and start getting bored.

To me, it really depends on our individual interest. To some traveling is just another sort of entertainment and a way to relax after a long stressful year but to others, it's a personal interest. It's a way of living some people would prefer to spend their money on rather than buying big houses and expensive cars.

#10
Had a few reunions

Unfortunately no one's interested anymore. To some extend, I believe many friendships are often temporal. Forget the BFF or the BFFF cause they're never true.

#11
Went to visit the Church of God in Ipoh with E3

Praise the Lord!

#12
A night trip to Putrajaya

I drove all the way! LOL.

#13
Learned to treasure those around me while I can

We often take the people around us for granted. Treasure them while you can! My grandma- she's in her nineties now!

#14
Went to witness the first bread breaking meeting in Terengganu

Praise the Lord!

#15
My second job as a waiter

May I take your order? :)

#16
Went to Port Dickson

with random plans

I killed Wen Jie

Kidding.

I enjoyed 2009 as a whole. By saying this I don't mean I enjoyed every moment of it but I'm sure today I can look back and say, that's an awesome year. I hope 2010 will be even better. I know 2010 is not a honeymoon year neither is it a year to let time pass. All the years I've been studying is important but my future career really depends a lot on these few years. They're crucial! Therefore, studies should be given one of the top priorities in 2010.

Honestly I don't really have a resolution for the year 2010 but I believe setting one would do no harm. Therefore I've decided to set a few reasonable and physically possible resolutions I hope to achieve this year.

1) Participate in a 10km marathon.
You don't have to win it. Just complete it!

2) Study!
Don't be that lazy loser who is 90% dependent on the day before exam to score. It won't work all the time!

3) Lose weight!
You don't want to be so heavy all the days of your life, do you?

4) Read bible everyday!
Yes, everyday. There's no excuse whatsoever.
Even if that day's exceptional, 2 or 3 verses should be possible.

5) Don't get influenced by my friends negatively.
I won't smoke, I won't get drunk and you know I won't.
College friends, please don't make me you. Thank you. LOL.

I'm not really sure how I should end this post.
Instead of saying the traditional 'All the best!',
maybe this time I'll say,

Regardless what awaits us in this new year

Even if it comes from behind,

We'll be ready! x)

Goodbye!

Wawasan 2020

2009-12-22T00:14:00.005+08:00

I'm sure many of you have heard about Wawasan 2020. It's a Malaysian Vision introduced on the year I was born by then prime minister Mahathir bin Mohammad during the tabling of the sixth Malaysian plan. It's a dream all Malaysians unite to achieve. A dream all Malaysians regardless of race, religion or tradition feel proud of.

Since young, I used to despise this dream and questioned whether it's realistic for Malaysia to achieve such a dream. However, after browsing through facebook the other day, I finally understand the true meaning of this dream. Now I understand what our government is struggling to achieve all these years and I acknowledge that we are on target! With the help of our current government- Barisan Nasional, I don't see a reason why we wouldn't be able to achieve this dream of ours.

WAWASAN 2020

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

Let's watch this in gold class! (:

I really need a new phone!

2009-12-19T02:37:00.004+08:00

I know I've praised nokia before but this time I really need a new phone! Not kidding! I've been using the same old phone since forever. It's a nokia 3200. Yes, a 3200! While my friends are using Iphones, Nokia 5800..I'm still stuck with a darn 3200!! Unbelievable right?

As long as my phone's usable, my parents will never buy me new ones! And usable doesn't literally mean usable. It actually means call-able and sms-able. =.="

Well, one of the major reasons I won't get a new phone any time soon is due to my parents 1960's mentality. This is what goes on within that complicated mind of theirs that no children would ever understand.

"Your phone is EVERYTHING a WONDERFUL phone is!"

1) It has a 128x128 pixel display which is a whopping 16,384 pixels! That's FIVE DIGITS! Wonderful phone. Not to mention, it has colour!! Unbelievable! "you know how privilege you are anot? People my time got black and white screen also can't stop smiling already! Got colour still wanna complain?!"

16,384 pixels! That's more than 16,383 pixels!! -.-

2) 1 megabyte of internal phone memory! That's 1000,000 bytes! One MILLION bytes!!

--__--

3) GAMES! SO FORTUNATE! G-A-M-E-S!

Not only 1 but 3 games sumore! Nature park, Virtual Me and Bounce.. =.="

4) Torch light! Now you can find things with that powerful LED of yours! Iphone also don't provide such a feature. You should be grateful for such a wonderful phone.=.=!!!

5) Can change colour!

'\=.=/'

6) Camera! Don't you think you're so lucky to own a CAMERA phone? Kid's nowadays..*shakes head*

Well, the only thing they didn't realize is that it's a 0.1 megapixel camera. That's 120 times worse than my digital camera! Amazing huh?

In fact it's so amazing a picture like this

would end up like this..

Sorry, the black portion on top would be my fingers covering the lens. =.=" How could a 0.1 megapixel camera even be considered
a c-a-m-e-r-a? I wonder.

Therefore, the only possibility of me getting a new phone will be when this phone dies. And there comes the second major problem: This phone NEVER dies!

Among the user opinions and reviews I've read that freaked me out!

"LONG LIVE NOKIA 3200. NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT EVER AFTER 6 YEARS." -NOKIA3200LOVER

"In the US AT&T (rumor has it) discontinued this phone because it lasted longer then their contracts." -pegasian

"i dropped this phone in the toilet and my sister threw it across the room...it has seen almost every country in the book...and it still works (surprisingly better than before i dropped it in the toilet)." -marwa

-"it fell like a thousand times but it would still work just fine" -rikki

And just when you think that's about it, the worst comment comes:

"had it last 2006 & the phone was dropped unto the pool 2X already but hey its still working! belive it or not...." -arina@Phils

HOW CAN THIS FREAKING PHONE SURVIVE AFTER BEING DROPPED INTO A SWIMMING POOL TWICE?!!

Well, I've gotta be honest with myself though. It's not that I hate my phone. In fact, I really appreciate it for lasting this long. It's a really good phone and all but.. I REALLY NEED A NEW PHONE!!

My friends even told me phones like these are used to throw at dogs.
Doubt it'll spoil even if I did. =.="
Somebody help me!

The eat-while-you-read disease

2009-12-11T13:48:00.005+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates!
My finals are just next week and I CAN'T STOP EATING!! =.="

chocolates in the morning

biscuits in the afternoon

sweets at night

bread during the midnight

This is seriously killing me! The more I study, the more I'll eat! And I realized I'm not the only person in this country who's suffering from this eat-while-you-read disease. They're a whole lot of Malaysians out there suffering from these rare contagious disease too! More people study, more people eat. More people eat, more people become obese. More people become obese, more people get diabetes, heart disease etc. More people get obese, heart disease etc, MORE PEOPLE DIE! Get it?

As the saying goes, health is the most important thing in life. There's no use getting good grades, being CEO's of listed companies, winning Nobel prizes yet succumb to your own poor health right? I rather live a healthy simple lifestyle with my two kids and wife beside the hills watching sunset. :D

Therefore something must be done right now! We have to stop this disease right from it's roots to prevent it from further spreading and it seems the ~~main~~ only cause of this disease is exams! So Mr. Tan Sri Dato' Muhyiddin Yassin(why must your name be so darn long? mine's just..leon?), please ban exams once and for all for the sake of the rakyat ok? After all, 1 Malaysia. Rakyat diutamakan. Pencapaian didahulukan. (1 Malaysia. People first. Performance now.) Thanks in advance! (:

Right now even my equations are turning into food.

Literally. T.T

Would you..

2009-12-05T00:55:00.008+08:00

Would you rather:

die in an accident yourself

(then eaten by giant frogs)

live with the guilt of killing
someone your entire life?

Answer: Neither

The problem with driving is that people often take their lives for granted. Advising someone to drive safely doesn't seem to work. At most, that someone would drive 'safely' only when you're a passenger and continue endangering his/her life whenever you're not around.

I have a friend I really care about. However, he drives really recklessly thinking it's safe. I'm afraid one day he might just..you get me right. I'm not in any way too much to say this considering the experience he has and the way he drives. What else can I do? Absolutely nothing. Should I wait for him to get hurt or die? Guess getting into an accident will be the only way he'll learn, if he survives. Guess all I can do is to write about it and hope he reads.

Yes, driving is fun. No doubt about that but many often fail to realize that this very 'fun' thing itself is also the very killing machine that destroyed so many lives permanently. You may survive but not the person behind the wheel of the other car. Families may be depending on him for their daily living.

So please.
Don't take your life for granted.
Don't ruin your life.
Don't ruin somebody else's life.

Driving for months or even years doesn't make you accident proof in any way. You'll never know, the next time you step on that deadly pedal may very well be the last time too cause..

You're just not superman.

Therefore, drive safely.
Think about your loved ones.
(why does this sound so much like a safety campaign? =.=")

Dead chargers

2009-12-03T01:02:00.004+08:00

Though I totally support pirated stuff, I must admit though that there are times when originals are necessary. For example, the wonderful Nokla series. (Please notice the sarcasm here) For those with no idea what a Nokla is, well it's actually a Nokia imitation brand that tries desperately to cover up it's 'imitation' status by replacing the I in nokIa with an L so there you get your nokLa. What a great way to 'cover' things up right? Lol. It's more like they're trying to associate themselves to Nokia while staying legal. Yeah, the features on both the Nokia and Nokla (notice the i and l?) may be almost similar with a great difference in price but you should really consider again before buying it. You'll never know, one day it might just burst while you're answering phone calls and you'll be left without an ear for the rest of your lives. Get it? It simply ain't worth the risk! Well, if you're still so determined to buy Nokla's, go ahead. You've been warned! ;) In short, I do think most electrical items or complicated stuff should be bought without compromising on the quality. Safety first right? Right! Imagine being electrocuted by your very own extension wire. Okay I know I'm being very negative here but stuff like these DO happen, know? These just proves that not all pirated stuff are useful or even use-able. Don't get fooled by the Sirim signs cause they prove nothing at all. Malaysian standards are simply too low!

FAIL MISERABLY!!

Why am I encouraging people to buy original electrical appliances out of the blue? Simple, my darn handphone charger! =.=" I really don't understand what's wrong with the pirated chargers. Regardless of buying one after another from different places, they all never fail to urm..fail. Over the years, my chargers keep failing that I'm even expecting the current one to fail very soon which resulted in me having so many unusable chargers at home.

you can see them queuing to fail one after another.

Not only do they cause my pitiful phone to be penetrated from the back countless times, suffering in vain, they're also a pure waste of money! They should very well be arrested for sodomy charges! So the story goes like this. Knowing that my about-5-years-old phone has no resale value whatsoever, I refrain from spending money on anything related to it. I already refused to buy a new cover though it's all cracked up. However, every phone needs a charger and so does mine. Therefore I try spending the least buying a pirated one hoping that it'll spoil before the warranty ends but for I-don't-know-what reason, they tend to fail roughly a month AFTER I bought it which is when the warranty ends. I'm suspecting the manufacturers placed a mini time bomb within the casing which explodes after a month of purchase so users will have to purchase new ones continuously which generates more revenue. Smart right? NO!
Knowing that my warranty's only a month, I still stubbornly went back and asked how long was the warranty. True enough they 'forgot' the duration and told me 3 months. :D So now I am with my new charger.

Looking back at the amount of dead chargers I have, I often laugh at myself and say why didn't you just buy an original one?

Let's see how long this'll last.

Hair log

2009-11-29T00:53:00.013+08:00

Since the day I set foot on this miserable planet, I've never ever changed my hairstyle. When we try identifying someone, their hairstyle plays an important role. Don't believe me? Let's take Britney Spears for example.

If the one on the right asks for your phone number, I'm very sure you'll decline whereas the one on the left just needs to blink her left eye and you'll be on Jupiter. C'mon lah, they're the same person! Now, you get it?

Well, of course they're some exceptional cases. If you decided to behave like Michael Jackson and complain why people don't recognize you even though you've had the same hairstyle for the past 50 years, please don't come near me.

Therefore whenever my primary school friends come together during reunions, they often say things like "you look exactly the same lah! No change no change". Well, it' my hair lah! How could I look the same 6 years ago? I'm not Edward Cullen from twilight nor am I peterpan in Neverland.

hairstyle review:

7 years old

14 years old

16 years old

There were even times when I had terrible hairstyles.
Some even uttered words like "he's making a fool out of himself." =.="

Anyhow, to the trillions of people who have been pestering me all my life to change my hairstyle, congrats! I've finally done it!

I asked the hairdresser to remove slopes from my head.
Don't believe go ask her. I even got her name, it's Genie. :D

BEFORE

AFTER

to those who wanna congratulate me, thanks I accept!
to those who's thinking "any difference meh?" @!#$%^&*

Well, at least I tried okay!

Guess I'm not that typical how's-my-hair-today or my-HAIRRRRR!!! kinda boy. While there's tons of boys out there using more gel than the water they drink their entire life, I've only used gel once or twice my entire life. I don't even know how to apply it right till this very day. lol.

See, two bottles of Gatsby given by a friend for my birthday LAST YEAR still wrapped neatly in plastic. So now you know gels are bad birthday presents. xD

Anyhow, I don't despise people using gel at all but seriously, I couldn't be bothered to do anything related to my hair. After all, it's just excess protein.

BIG DEAL!

go on go on and criticize me. I can take it. :)

Ridiculous autocad pricing

2009-11-26T11:07:00.007+08:00

Malaysia, once thought to be the world's largest exporter of pirated disc still aint that pirated-free now. Just walk through any pasar malam (night market) and you'll easily be greeted by racks and racks of pirated disc ranging from music, film and softwares. Considering the availability of empty disc for sale, the potential revenue from such business and the corruption of enforcement officers, I don't see any way the situation will improve.

Though they're many rich 'datuks' out there with tons of money buying pirated cd's, you've got to admit that majority of us buy pirated cd's cause we simply couldn't afford original ones. Imagine paying thousands of ringgit just to fill your ipod with original songs. It simply aint worth it. After all, we're just a poor bunch of Malaysians who love music, need softwares and require films for personal entertainment but simply couldn't afford original copies.

Let me give you an example.
My current semester requires us to use Autocad programs. Below's the price of an original copy.

There's a discount! Sounds interesting?
DISCOUNTED PRICE- RM14800

Mr. Musa Hassan (Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police), would you pay RM14800 if your kids needed to use autocad? Seriously, who in their right mind would purchase an original copy which cost much more than their whole semester when they can easily purchase an equally functional pirated copy for less than hmm..RM10? That's a whopping one thousand four hundred and eighty times cheaper! Cool huh? :)

Colleges and universities might as well provide software scholarships.

=.="

Uncle, ada autocad?

We don't have a choice!

Sea Shepherds

2009-11-23T22:54:00.007+08:00

Sea Shepherd rules! Just watched an episode of whale wars. I'm really starting to hate Japanese whalers. It's as if they must kill someone/somebody so since they couldn't kill anyone else, they've chosen to kill huge, large, innocent, defenseless mammals aka whales in the antarctic.

This is one of the most evil vessels around. For those who have no idea what this is, it's called the Nisshin Maru. This 8000 ton vessel is the worlds only whale factory ship.

Isn't whale killing illegal?
Yes it is unless it's done for research purposes.

Therefore, using the excuse that it's killing whales for research purposes, the Nisshin Maru continues endangering the whales. It's not 1 or 2 whales for 'research' we're talking here. The Nisshin Maru crew and their six to seven ship fleet is responsible for about 1000 whales death PER YEAR! 1000!

Imagine doing these..

in the name of research. =.="

They kill whales for fun, money and satisfaction while these huge creatures suffer painfully with a rusted harpoon penetrating right through their body be it their brain, stomach, heart or whatever. And it usually takes more than 10 minutes from the time the harpoon actually strikes a whale til the moment it dies. Imagine being stabbed right through while struggling to release yourself in vain only to slowly bleed to death in a minimum of 10 minutes. OUCH!

C'mon lah, who in their right mind would require 1000 dead whales for research ANNUALLY? Even if it was necessary, the research ain't worth it!

Don't pictures like these look sickening? Can't believe there are actually groups of people living among us willing to cause such pain to mammals. :(

Suddenly comes the Sea Shepherds.

They're like heroes in the whale world. I bet every single whale in the entire ocean all over the world are desperate to get the autograph of all 33 crew members' aboard the Steve Irvin Sea Shepherd vessel.

Similar to Greenpeace, and other anti whaling agencies, Sea Shepherd members love whales and do almost anything they can to stop these brutal killings. They chase Nisshin Maru out of the arctic waters, ram their ship into whaling ships, throw butyric acid which works as stink bombs as well as slippery powder onto Nisshin Maru's deck. Many claim Sea Shepherds are pirates. They may be considered pirates for their desperate act to prevent whaling but I still think they're necessary to keep stubborn whalers at bay.

Don't these whales look beautiful swimming graciously in the ocean?
Let them survive! Leave them alone you stupid whalers!

So many smaller fish in the world to eat why must you guys choose whales? *shakes head*

Although I know smaller fishes, chickens, etc also suffer when we eat them but at least they're not endangered and their life are less meaningful compared to a large whale. It's like killing an ant compared to killing a chicken. Get my drift?

Go watch whale wars! Go support Sea Shepherds! :)

PS: for the first day this year or don't know in how many years, I didn't eat meat! No chicken, no beef, no pork, no nothing! Actually got a little fish lah but melted into the sauce/soup so not counted! Lol.

WTF's are on the roads!

2009-11-21T01:12:00.015+08:00

Beware people.

There are currently 9999 drivers all over Selangor roads scolding people for no reason at all! So don't freak out to realize that you keep getting scolded no matter where or how you're driving.

However, worry not. For WTG will be out soon.
:)

PS: I just realized Singpore had a similar problem years ago when the SEX number plate was due to be released. They didn't approve it though. Guess they couldn't allow SEX on the roads. Lol.

Please forgive me if you don't understand this post.

Ipoh

2009-11-18T15:09:00.016+08:00

Had a great blending to Ipoh last weedend. Being one of the youngest there, I definitely enjoyed myself! :)

I shall let the pictures do the talking. SPEAK!

#1

First off, we went to the Sungkai hot spring. Although I've been there for the 3rd time now, going there with different companions really make the experience entirely different!

Take note of bro. Richard's face! xD
The waters hot and the designs great cause the same
water we use to soak OUR feet is recycled..

Based on this sign, I believe my legs
have been..
FULLY COOKED! hungry?

Bounce! :D

#2 The dog

After lunch, we visited Sis. Christy's house. Her dog melted everyone's heart instantly!
Sacha or Sasha? It sounds something like that. I'm bad at remembering names let alone dog names. Haha..

I don't understand why Brendon
looks so cute holding the dog..

while I don't doing the exact SAME thing! =.="

If I were a dog, I'll be able to attract people's attention so easily

As I was walking around the meeting hall, something caught my attention.

Saints in PJ, does this number plate look familiar?

Our former gospel van! Look's so new right!

#7

Last but not least, to clear up all those rumours out there,
I'm not that heavy!

Yes, YOU! Don't deny it! lol.

And that sums up my trip to Ipoh.

Sorry for this quick post. Exam's tomorrow and I really shouldn't be here now!

Children camp 2009

2009-11-08T15:54:00.014+08:00

Children camp this year was great! Nice weather, good coordination, fun games.. PTL! You don't need to be a child to enjoy the children camp. :D

We started off by registering everyone of course. Each of us were given tags.

Spot the yellow tags! ☺

Then the childrens were gathered for hymn singing.

Soon after, we played games.
First off, treasure hunt!

Children had to find stuff written on a paper given to each group and place them in the hula hoop. From socks, caps, water bottles and even shoes. The children begged for stuff they needed.

Therefore, there's victims. x)
not the shoooeee.. shoo!!

Other games: ping pong ball game, banana game, water passing game..Lol. Unfortunately, didn't take much pictures.
Here are some of those I took:

Then of course, what's a children camp without..

Food!
(please don't look at my plate..)

Make sure we see you next year! :)

OK?
(no answer)

Answer me!
(still no answer)

I SAID ANSWER ME!!
(still..no anwer)

I GET ANGRY WAN ARR I TELL U!!
ok la.. I will come la..

Hehe..

Free holidays for all!

2009-11-04T23:29:00.007+08:00

My apologies for the lack of updates. I've been ~~wasting ALOT of time~~ really busy recently. Formative test 1, test 1, formative test 2, test 2, finals, quiz 1, test 1, quiz 2, test 2, finals, assignments, lab 1-9, coursework marks, class participation, attendance, presentation, scholarship work..

And they say college life is fun?

Few days ago, I found a very _____(fill in the blanks) article in TheStar. Nowadays, every Malaysian can afford holidays! Yup, everyone! The Terengganu government is offering free honeymoons to couples on the verge of breaking up. Cool huh? Read it here and here!!

"A free second honeymoon trip awaits any Terengganu married couple on the brink of breakup. The state will pay for it."
"They spend three days and two nights away from home at a cost of under RM1,500 per couple."
"Terengganu government is offering to foot the bill for couples in troubled marriages to go for a second honeymoon."
-taken from TheStar

So any of you out there who's really desperate for holidays but can't afford it or just plain selfish wanting to go on holidays without spending a single cent, fret no more! Just follow 3 simple steps.
1) Marry just whoever you want to go holiday with.
2) Divorce her.
3) Apply for the free holiday package at the governments expense!

Cool huh? Honestly I didn't know a honeymoon is all that's needed to mend a broken relationship. So if they argue during their 2nd honeymoon, should we send them for their 3rd honeymoon overseas?
Malaysia boleh! :)

Leon. Just Leon.

2009-10-29T21:58:00.023+08:00

Since young, I used to hate my name a lot. L-E-O-N. Cause my father was a businessman then, I kept thinking how weird it'll be when I grow up and my staff started calling me Mr Leon. xD And that's what I felt about my name. However, as time went by I started appreciating it. Now, I love my name. :D Not too common not too rare. Not the first name on the class list which teacher always calls like Aaron. Just one syllable instead of two which makes it easier for friends to call me. Short which means I can write my name faster than others. Honestly, what's there to hate?

Based on thinkbabynames, Leon is a variant of Leo which means lion. Now I can officially associate myself with 'Rawr' unlike many others who uses it just for fun. xD It is also noted that the name Leon isn't as popular as it used to be in the eighties and nineties.

Anyway, it's actually quite fun trying to discover your name. Something you've been living with since the day you were in your birthday suit. Just try typing your name in google and be amazed at how many things your name is related to.

My name is related to:

Restaurants,

Shops,

games-Leon Scott Kennedy from resident evil 3,

Leonardo Da Vinci,
(fine maybe he's not so Leon after all =.=")

and even a band- Kings of Leon band,

a car- JE Design SEAT León

and last but not least an entire city just for Leon! x)
Welcome to León, Spain!

It's sad however that though they're so many great Leon's out there, I'm still such a down to earth lonely Leon sitting here all alone in my Leon room writing this lonely Leon blog post. It's okay. Leon will grow up one day.

You just wait, this Leon will be..

in the cover of every possible magazine ever printed,

in billboards all over the country

and even

in everybody's pocket! :D

Connie the child singer :)

I don't want Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie. I want an 8 year old's autograph! Connie Talbot, the little child singer who rose to fame when she reached the finals on Britain's Got Talent in 2007. She eventually lost to Paul Potts though. But what are the odds? She was only 6 then while he's 37! Fyi, she already has 2 albums out in the market. I find her really talented in terms of singing. I mean how many 8 year old's out there can sing like her?
Just take a look at her singing.

Ain't she simply adorable?
you: YES SHE IS! x)
