Laptop I yang dah mampoi-ed, is lived on by the hard disk (and a  semi-solid and an amp, minus an acoustic).

XD

And it was a pleasant drive back to the city of Bougainvilleas.

Here’s a simple message for you this new year:

sort of tiger stripped, huh?
Many a times, you’re the odd one out.

Many a times, things just wither away.

But, never forget your roots.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Got a set of front disc brake pads to replace the thinning set on my ride.

Things got really messy and rather complicated/easy, depending on how you look at it.  So the “How To” was aborted =p
Just remember guys, that there are only two things separating you from the tarmac; tires and brakes.
Save on other stuff, but please do get quality products for these. Your life does depend on them.

bapak borek, anak rintik. happy father’s day dad!

Well, I finally got one.

It’s not as branded though.  But for the price and full solid wood, it’s a steal.

My very first (of many more) Dreadnought sized Fina acoustic guitar!

It’s easy to lose focus.

I see an open door.

What do you see? 

Anyhow, I was heading to fill up my tank at the end of last month at Kayu Ara Shell station when I spotted this.

Everyone know that BHP Damansara Toll is practically empty most of the time, no thanks to Shell right across it.  It was a sad thing that they weren’t queueing up for BHP’s gas but for another thing all together.

For the last week of September, BHP’s new automated carwash, Cyclone, operated free of charge from 8am to 8pm daily!

Being a person that refuses to part away with my RM8 to get my car washed, this was the very first time I gave in to the thought of going through the automated washing mechanism. You can ask Gerald how excited I was.

That 3 minutes cleaned the car adequately but I have to admit that it was uch cleaner than what I expected it to be.  For this entire month, BHP Kayu Ara/Damansara Toll gives free car wash for RM20 pumped!

Which explains why it is empty once again.

I was dearly wrong.

I guess its God’s way of telling me I didnt clean the house thoroughly the 1st time round.

Beautiful no?

Who would have thought that its from the exact same photo except that its taken at a completely different hour of the day? 

I remember it was just yesterday that I first step foot into UKM to do civil and environmental engineering. Bangi was the last place I thought I would end up, UKM being my final few options in my list of universities application.

Up till today, I still ask myself, “Why did I choose not to go to Canada on my own free will?”. At times I still don’t know if I did make the right choice. But its one I have to live with now.

The first week in local university was hard even for me as compared to those from the chinese background. It was easier for me to fit in with the malay group, given the fact that I speak the language like one. This too meant that I had a difficult time conversing with the mandarin speaking chinese.

This mother of a staircase to my room back in hostel days taught me how to curse in Mandarin and Hokkien.

I started off in local university, getting hooked on DotA and ended up being a semi-pro at the end of it.

It was here that I found God in my life.

Along the way came us.

I picked up photography on my own and what a passion I have for it now.

It is also here in these 4 years that I came to love and hate flights.

Now here I am at the end of what I began 4 years back. Am I satisfied? I never really like structural engineering like I loved automobiles but time soon thought me that my passion lies in the environmental side of engineering like marine engineering. These 4 years have taught me that getting screwed is an art. Its how you get yourself out of trouble that counts the most.

Now I look back and I see.

There’s still a long way to go from here on out.
