After Sunrise

Today was a fateful day.

I thought that getting up early morning with a head pain was bad.

But what I had to faced in school was evermore "exciting".

I do not wanna go into detail about what happen, but you can ask me about it face to face.

The bottom line is, I became the class representative and I am no longer 'single' due to a "exclusive service scandal". :(

Darn man, now how la I going to get a girlfriend now? :(

Gee... Thank YOU guys...

Clowning around in Sheraton Bandung

All in all, things seem to be fine, though the new campus isn't that convenient, but I think we will get used to it soon.

After today, I'm feeling that this term will go quite well, still keeping my fingers crossed though.

Till then, I'm off to bed so I wont get a head pain tomorrow morning.

Take care~ ;)

Memories Of Term Six In Black And White

Whats On My Mind:

This post was written on 19th of August 2009.

Yes I know what you wana say, sorry lor....

This wont be a long winded and emo-fied post,
just something short and sweet. ^^
------------------------

Long gone were the times we go up to 7th floor and pool till we forget class time.

Long gone were the times every corner we turn and we will see familiar faces.

Long gone were the times where the food stalls in campus were better then now.

And long gone were the times of being a noob, we all had in a way or another, elevated into a new phase today.

Jeff's birthday & farewell in KL

I came to college, its atmosphere doesn't seem to be like old times.

With both DH 28 Rooms Division and Food & Beverage students joined together in one same class along side with a hand full of new students.

The scene has changed.

Candid shot during class, stress term 6!

Nevertheless, things go on, I am sure all of us gotten used to the new surrounding, but it is good to recall those sweet memories of diploma days.

One such thing I always do was when I walked pass the 3 restaurants, looking at our recent junior batches performing service in there.

I would always say, "I was there".

I also recalled the moments where I HATE being in the kitchen.

Blardy fiche technique that I could never seem to understand, the smell and pre & post service experience.

Now, I walked into this place where I used to dislike, looking at the station we used to place and do our mise-en-place while chatting and ended up our work was behind time.

Suppose to study for exam

I got to be honest with you, I kinda miss those times a little bit.

Not a whole lot! Just a little. :)

I like this picture very much~
Thx to Elaine for the simple yet classy frame edit. ;)

Term 6 was the only term we had lots of photo taking session.

Regardless the person is narcissist or not, you either pose willingly and end up being in a nice picture or post unwillingly and end up having a distorted face in the picture.

Despite our finals was close to us, we still manage to have fun and pass our finals~

An achievement indeed. :P


I can say, we had run the good race, and we finished well. :)

Many had left to pursue different paths, nevertheless you will always be remembered as batch 28.

Good blessings be upon the path you take.

May we always be in your memories as you are in ours!

A new journey had already begin~

-The history of batch 28 (DH/DC/DT), its joy and sadness lived and rest here-

One Dumb Thing I Did

------------------------
Whats On My Mind:

1st of all, I wanna apologize for my long absence, indeed I was very distracted by all the happenings these pass few weeks. Though I was not physically tired (sometimes), mentally it was taxing. I will further write down the details of my happenings soon. :)
------------------------

Yesterday was my Law exam.

The night before I was out to study, lets put it this way the so call night study session was more of a food for the soul then food for the brain.

Then I came home, knowing what I did was very little and I was too tired to go on, it was then I got a great idea!

I shall set my alarm at 5am, wake up and then study till I have to go college.

The plan was good, I've done that before and it was rewarding.

BUT!


This time round, something went terribly wrong...

If you are thinking that I forgot to set the alarm, well....

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no I did set my alarm.

However, the mistake I did was to leave my phone beside me on my bed as I fall asleep.

What made this mistake even wrong was this.


5am, the alarm rang!

*Melvin was half asleep, but heard the ring*

*Melvin though it was a PHONE call, thus conveniently took the phone from the side, press the button to "answer the call", in reality he hit the turn off button*

*Melvin then place the phone on his ear, and say "Hello.. Hello.. Helloooo..."

*Knowing that no one was "on the other line", he "hung up" and went back to sleep.*


I got up to realize the time was 7.30am!

Absolutely wonderfully dumb dumb, don't you think so? :)

Memories Of Term Five In Black And White

-----------------------

Whats On My Mind:

Finally, I am able to complete my flash back post!

This time round, I was quite caught up with a few stuff, trials & final exams preparation, and all these stuff made my mind very tired by the time I reached back home, hence the late update.

FYI, this post is written in several location and time, so you might experience "time leap" while reading this post. :)

Important NOTE: I have a friend renting out a Single Room at Mentari Court, 16 Floor, RM 405 fully furnished+AirCond & Great Housemates. If you are interested please feel free to contact me asap~! Thanks! ^^

'Get Together Night' organized by DH 28 for DH 32

As I am sitting here on this beautiful Monday morning, waiting for time to pass till revision class starts.

I looked around the library, the feeling of unfamiliarity creeps up to my skin.

I remembered those PC beside me were most of the time seated with the people whom I know, as I entered the library last time, exchange of 'hello' could go from 1 end to the other.

Walking around the library for 1 round is a tradition which I practice when I entered its compound until today.

Karl Wong

I would at less bump into a few people I know, but now its just merely just an exercise routine for me.

Then the reality of time came to my senses, its already 2009, I've already been here for 2 years.

I opened my hand phone calender, and stared in disbelieve, only can I utter 2 words...

"Holy cow...!"

Chris cross dress during Law Presentation

Today, Giordano came and did a mini sale within our campus, its my 3rd time seeing them in the campus compound, they came on 2008 and 2007, its always during the mid year season.

I still remember asking Rebekah which shirt looks good, bought it soon after that, I'm still using it till today.

Nevertheless, we all know things are bound to change, I'm just sad sometimes to know things change for the worst instead of better.

It is still a learning process, every experience I've been through never one was a waste.


Term 5 was a very different term for me, we had just returned from our 2nd industrial training. I was very charged up!

All excited for the upcoming restaurant promotion project, me and my ever faithful blog poser - Ang Sio Sen,


Had the honor to be elected as Restaurant Manager & Assistant Restaurant Manager.

We tried our best to gather whatever lessons we had learned in our training and apply into this project.


Leadership is not something new to me, because of previous experience, but the challenges I faced was indeed challenging.

What I thought I could do, turn out to be a different story.

Final briefing before showtime!

What I've expect to face turned its tide.

In short, pretty lots of bullshit la. :)

I love this shot!

If you are the top runner for your school, you win the race.

If you are the best at 'Call of Duty 4', you pawn the noobs in Garena win the match.

If you and your team worked together, everyone wins the championship.

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships!"

'Made With Love'

It was a good process of self-discovery for myself.

A lecturer of mine told me that I had the tendency to climb a mountain without safety gears.

I asked myself, "am I?".

Karl Wong again~

I know my vision can be really big sometimes, but I am certain and I know what am I doing and I do have plans to execute it, except if unexpected circumstances come into the picture.

If you have ambition, you might not achieve anything, but without ambition, you are almost certain not to achieve anything.

I don't wan to end up, sitting by the 'long kang' side one day, thinking what had I done in this life and only to discover I have done nuts.

"do I look influential?" XD

Besides learning and getting upset, there are also many happy things during my semester 5!

Who can ever forget our friend's facial expression after having 3 guys and 13 girls surprising him during his birthday?

"wahhh~!"

Unsuspecting victim by the name of Fandi

3 guys and 13 girls!

That is a very big ratio difference.

Some missing.. :(

Nevertheless, we had fun. :)

Semester 5 was a season of birthday celebrations, not long down the road, we celebrated another friends birthday.

Doreen's 20th birthday~

Overall, it was a bitter sweet semester.

Love it yet had second thoughts about it.

If you realized the flash back this time, the content is quite little.

Certain things just cannot be expressed by words.

Classic candid shot!

I look back with just a sigh.

Many rooms for improvement, yet I could have done better.

Nevertheless, at the end of the day, I know there are friend whom will stand with me and slap me in the face if I ever go astray, which I find its the most honorable thing to do, and that is what friends are for,

And there are also "friends" whom will only shoot with their mouth but when asked to act, can only pick their nose and say "don't know" or "cannot la cannot"..

Talk big no.1...

Cute college cat edit from Julian's blog(I haven ask you for your new link)!

Why do we fail?

To me, because we can learn to pick ourselves back up again!

Steamboat dinner with Mr.Patrick before term 6 begins

After so much of hardship, joy and pain...

We are graduating this Saturday!

Viva la DH 28~

I'll work on the 'Term 6 flash back' soon(no more delays I hope)!

Till then, take care! ;)

Yet Another Departed To A Place Far Away

I was at my friend's place(Edu & Chris) just few minutes ago.

*phone rang*

The conversation between Edu and his other friend was obviously about something shocking which took place somewhere.

When he was done talking, he turned to both me and Chris,

"Someone jumped down from 'Suria Mas condo', lets go see!"

Being a typical Malaysian and Indonesian, the 3 of us left the house and went to the location.

Normally 'Suria Mas' is a very well guarded residential area, even if you walk in, we have to register ourselves at the guard house.

But this time, the guards did not even notice we walked in, too stunned by the incident I guess.

I don't know should I say we are lucky or unlucky, as soon as we walked in the compound, a police jeep was heading towards our direction.

When we turned back and look...


Shit! The guy was in the body bag... But covered up..

A sudden chill went down my spine.

We continue to walk towards the death location and meet up with Edu's friend.

I saw the deceased guy's friend was there, in a state of shock, and emotions uncontrolled,

1 second he was walking forward, and another second he wail and turned back, at the same time he places both his hands on his head, like having a head pain.

His other friends got to hold him back... Disgusted by what he has witnessed, he was about to throw up.

All of us did not went to the exact location, maybe we don't dare to see the horror of the "left overs" there.

I don't know about the others who are there, even though I wasn't near, I could smell blood from the location where I was standing, I asked Edu if he smelled it too, but he said no..


Come to think of it... We are not that "gang ho" after all... We normally think that "oh got show to see", but when we are actually there, we don't even dare to go near the actual location.

Personally, although I'm not scared of blood, but believe me, when you actually smell the stench of a dead human blood in the air, not knowing where it came from...

You mind will begin to imagine things.. The eerie feeling never fail to creep into us..

I feel sorry for the guy.. For whatever reason he jumped, I'll never know...


May his soul rest in peace..


*Incident took place on the 8th of April 11.15pm +- at 'Suria Mas' block B(I think)*

p/s: No photographs were taken by me during this incident, in respect for the people around and also because we did not have the balls to go near the death location.

Final Hour To End of Term 5

*Melvin holds up his notes and start to read it*

10 minutes later

*ZzzZzzZzz*

This time round, for some reason I'm not worried if I would past the final assessment or not.

But I am fearful if I do not score and maintain my grades well.

My target is 14.5 - 15/20 and above global average.


Call me nerdy or whatever, but this time round, I have that bad feeling in my gut, if I don't score well, I feel it spells trouble to me.

I so hate this bad feeling in my gut, it literally hurts when I sense something bad.

The bad thing will surely happen if I don't follow what my gut say.

Its like 6 sense... but sense through stomach pain... How vain can that be?


But today was good.

I expect the paper to be freaking hard, but it turned out to be well, except English paper, its not hard, but just plain annoying to do....

I'm glad and thankful that the last minute study time wasn't put to waste.

Day 1 down, 1 more day to go.

Hence our term 5 will come to an end!

I'll be preparing for the term 5 flash back post.


Traditionally done once every term ends, a time of reflection on the good and bad stuff.

And the moment all DH 28 FB students was waiting for, the food promo video!

My video camera has been fix, once I get it back, I'll work on the video presentation.

I got to go study now, will update again soon!

Take care!

Law Drama Presentation

I wanted to blog about some other stuff today, but I cant seem to gather up my words.

I just got back from KL with some of my friends, was helping my friend with his project.

There were total of 6 of us in my friends car.

I'll tell the story in my upcoming post, in short, we meet an accident, an old man, and gangster/"adviser".

Till then, I'll let you guys watch this drama presentation me and my friends did in Law class.

This was the 1st wan we did on 'contract law', I hope you enjoy it.



Sorry I haven been updating frequently, my internet is a bitch....

I pray that things will get better soon!

Take care!

We Are On Fire

What you do when there is a fire outbreak nearby?

What do you expect others to do?


Run? Hide? Laugh? Cry? Panic?

When it happens, the entire scene turned into some sort of cinema.


People like me will pop out their camera phone and start taking picture of the fire and surrounding.

But some will come up with the idea of doing these...



Imagine, 2 fire outbreak in a gap of just 7-8 months.

That is just plain crappy.

1st the car park, and now the office, next? Taylor's College!


But the all bad things have a good side,

Which is....

ASSESSMENT CANCELED! XD

Ordained For The Extraordinary

------------------------
Whats On My Mind:

I'm so sorry for the much delayed update, I know why I am unable to view my blog from my PC,

Its Nuffnang's fault! I realized that when I opened any blog which has Nuffnang ad, I cant view, the reason behind it? I have no frigging idea, but I think they blocked my IP, if any blog that has their ad I cant view with my PC, maybe because I view too many times in a day, hahaha...?

Happy Chinese New Year!

May all of you be prosperous in the area of health, finance and relationship this year!

Now, my ang pau please?! :D

Dear blog,


After my absence for such a long time and not writing anything onto you, I hope people still come and look at your pretty face again.

You know ever since college commenced, I had headache almost every night the thought of assignments, group projects, exams and food promo haunts me almost every moment I breath, eat and shit.

Regardless of what is going on, I know we all want the best for the promo, but there are certain things that we should not be ignorant towards.


We are all humans, we have ideas, we learn, listen, speak, get stressed, feel happy, sad, angry, excited, or hyper and even make mistakes.

The bottom line is, we are no where near perfection and everyone else around us have feelings too.

I've learned it the hard way, an old friend of mine thought me, "speak with no haste, listen and you'll be amazed".


Though I may sometimes talk more then I should, under "conscious" circumstances, you'll realized that I will stop speaking once someone cut my conversation half way through my speech.

Do I get irritated? Well, sometimes, do you if someone else does it to you...?

It is give and take... One party just have to compromise, if neither will give in, there wont be any ending to it, but some argument are worth to fight for, we just need a good judgment.

E18~~!

Bloggie oh bloggie.. Tell me, am I accountable for executing certain stuff differently? Practicing a different core value hopping others will understand, accept and not taking it for granted.

I've never believed in "force/push labor", but "free consent/will". Knowing we are all grown people with maturity working together without any separation of hierarchy, my name is synonymous with the word 'democracy'.

After all, we will be stripped off of what we hold and be mere commoners again, why do we wan to dictate others? Why do we wan to make everyone feel so darn miserable? At the end of the day end up not talking to each other...


Scared that things will not get done? Perhaps for our personal image, respect or perfection hungry?

Is it that worth it? When things come to an end, we will still see each other as per normal. As if none of us care about the 'big day' ahead, I'm sure all of us want to see and do the best not just some of us...

"A leader is not measured on how hard he or she can push people, but measured by their speech, attitude and the willingness to be patience guiding the people."

Any Dick, Tom and Harry can push, but the game of words and patience are for the ones who are prepared to fend away and if have to, tank flames of all sort.

Of cost this does not apply to everyone, here is where wisdom comes into action.

10 year old cat at my aunt's house, look at its 'tulan' face..
When she don't like you, she will scratch you... :(

My deepest concern is to keep the team united and of high moral, once this 2 golden foundation are broken, no matter what we do, it will crumble and vanish into oblivion.

What else can I say? I only can do my best by playing my part well and get down on my knees, and pray everything will be smooth.

Definitely all of us will learn at the end, its the matter of how we take the final outcome.


Sincierly your author,

Dawn of A New Dynasty

We are back at last!

The cry to return to college has finally come to an end!

But, as soon as we got back to college, we start crying again...

Ironic isn't it? We scream so loud, asking the time to pass faster so we can return to college.

And when we got back, we closed our eyes and wish upon the shooting start that the college will burn down the next day.

Paparich's "Milo Dinosaur" at Taipan USJ

1st day, we somewhat got shot by our lecturer, asking where is our industrial training report.

2nd day, the official election for the food promos restaurant manager and assistant restaurant manager, and later screwing up our dinner service.

We definitely need time to get use to the French fries system again...


3rd day, countless meetings with board members regarding the promo and homework to do.

Nevertheless, we will finish strong by the end of this term!

I will not allow this food promo to be just like any other food promo. It will always be a sweet memory to us all.

Jenn's b'day celebration

Together, DH 28 and DC 28, we will make history!!

p/s: Further details will be updated, due to low resource of pictures, I am unable to proceed to elaboration. Sorry.

Gua Kangen College

------------------------
Whats On My Mind:

There will be a really interesting post coming up next!
Believe me, it will blow your pants off! So stay tune!
------------------------

Words just cant explain how I wish to go back college!

I miss the times where we were just so darn free.

Even though with assignments and test, we still at less have the space to lepak, play games and do other fun stuff.

Cook for fun at Christin's place~

I miss the times we boycott stupid-fatty-ass-stick-on-chair English teacher,

"Ok ok! 4.30pm already! She is late half hour! Its our darn rite to ciao! Consider give face already la, higher diploma students 15 minutes already no where to be seen!"

Our masterpiece! 'Daging masak hitam'!
I know, shut up! Its still taste nice ok!
Looks can be deceiving! =3

After saying that, we DH 28 for the 1st time, walked out of class because lecturer was late.

But only to face replacement class the next lesson.... :(

I miss the times we go pool and condemn how lucky Fandi is when he plays just chill, play a round or 2 of pool.

I also miss those cooking sessions we did at Ridzuan Condominium.


Eduard is not just a talented musician, he is also a great cook!

Self created recipe dish, with cheap white wine and rice bungkus from the mamak downstairs.

What more can we ask for?

Edu showing his kitchen skills!

I say the most important is still have fun hanging out no matter the condition or environment.

Come on man, there is more to life in college then just to study!

But I never say study is not important ok! :D

Chris the bitch sommelier... :P

I hope time just pass faster, I cant wait to enter the next phase of college!

Graduation is just so soon! 8 more months!

I forgot what is the name of this dish... :(

To all my DH, DC & DT friends, hope to see you guys soon, take care and stay strong during training no matter the shitty condition!

There is always a reason behind everything. :)

That is all for now, will be back again with new updates! =D
