Famine 30 (2009)

I spent my weekend at Legenda D-I-Y Camp helping out as a volunteer for the 30 Hour Famine. It was my first time and a whole new experience for me. Learned so much about the poverty life of those unfortunate children around the world.


On the first day itself, I had to wake up at 5.30 in the morning and reach HICT at 6am as the bus will be leaving at 6.15. I only had 3 hours of sleep. We had to go get ready for the arrival of the famine30 participants.. total about 250.

This is us laying like dead corpses at the back of the bus. And you can see that its still dark outside..

After the participants arrived and registered.. We started the games by blindfolding them. Group Leaders will lead them from stations to station to complete each task given. It was fun trying to split them off they're groups. Heh.

One of the tasks was to shape the string into a circle and square.
Its hard and requires the Group Leaders commands..

We volunteers suffer much coz we had to run around the place to set up and clean up stations.. Getting sweaty and dirty in the process.

Made a banner with every participants handprint. Unfortunate Soya was mistakened for a banner. He ended up with a Body Glove T-shirt. Lucky him.

After everything was done. We had to clean and remove everything around the place. It was already dark then. We were so exhausted we slept on the floor. Lights out was at 12.30am.


Woke up at 5.30am the next morning thanks to a certain someone who didnt sleep. It was frustrating but there was nothing to be done. We freshen up and took off to Stadium Putra at 9am.

The stadium was packed with 7000 people. Many artist performed like Zhang Hui Mei and Michael Wong, but most were local artist via Jacklyn Victor, Suki, Daniel Lee and some FM DJ's.

The crowd was at the wildest when Ah Mei arrived.

It went on for more than 5 hours until the 30th hour of starving!

Everything was spectacular!

Finally the 30 hour famine was done and over with. .
It was a great experience!

HICT Prom Night

Had lots of fun and lots of laughs.. Food was great and Partying was the Bomb!! Jumped up and got crazy. Boom Shook and Dropped on the dance-floor until I loss the weight I gained from that nights dinner. Met lots of people and hell I am so beat out.. No doubt, a night I won't forget.

The Prom Night was held in da Club at Kota Permai. The place is surprisingly big.

View of the Golf Course from the ballroom balcony.

We got there early so we sat and have some to drink while listening to the DJ laying out them beats!

The place has a nice design.

and its mostly full of romance..


Here's a video of my bro, Dmon dancing to thriller.
We certainly surprised him by asking the DJ to play that song for his short dance for the nomination of prom king.

And finally the after-party hype..



Truly one hell of a night..

Grab A Bite At Work.

My colleague bit me at work today! No matter how hard I pulled away, she still wouldn't let go. Until she laughed when I succumbed to the pain and screamed like a sissy! I fell to the floor, rolled around coz my arm felt like it was bleeding.. So embarrassing!


It all happened when I showed her a picture of herself sleeping at work. I could've sworn it didn't look bad at all, but she grabbed hold of my arm when I was about to walk away and bite down so hard! The teeth marks were so deep, it felt swollen up. Thankfully, a senior colleague gave me medicine to apply..


After work, I asked her "why?" and she told me to stop being a girl coz she only bit with half of her strength. I went on silent mode, dared not imagine what will happen if she didn't held back and bit all the way.


But I still don't get why she got so worked up over a picture that doesn't even look bad... Anyone can tell me why??

Over Teasing.

Last night after the grand dinner, I was hanging out with my brothers at the usuals.. We didn't stay long until we went gaming session late after. So there we finish a few rounds and I was still so tired from the dinner before this.


Otherwise, I noticed one of my brothers who is always over-excited, was somehow different. He was still teased at as usual but somehow I could tell that he's not in a good mood. Pissed off maybe..


Until one extent of a game where everyone of us was so into the game and started shouting about. He suddenly shouted out loud in an angry tone and cussed. The whole room was but his voice then came to be really quiet. Turns out that he was so pissed off till he had a mental breakdown for a few seconds. Shocking. Lucky we didn't get chased out of the place.


Main point is, never tease too much especially if you know the person ain't sporting enough. It might be a joke to you but not to some who are oblivious to your intentions. Even so, everyone has their limits. People get bored of the same thing mentioned over and over again. As you know, teasing was never a pretty thing to begin with. From that then turns to rage, depression and maybe fear. Mix them all up and Vuala! , mental breakdown.



Not teasing others doesn't mean others will do the same.. So its good to learn how to deal with it.

For me, I'd go with bashing up the person who teases until it pisses me off. Relieves my rage and shuts the person up. But its yours to decide on the best effective way in dealing with it.

Its true,
It sure hell is funny!

Grandpa's 80th Birthday Dinner.

This year, the whole family agreed to have a grand celebration for my grandpa's 80th birthday. Little did I know that it was at Centro's ballroom. There were 30 tables total. Hell lot of relatives I don't know.

It all began with introducing the whole family while we walk along the red carpet. For the first time in my life had I experienced having so many people looking at me. Really too much for me.

Table where my grandparents, uncle and aunts and my parents sat at.

Then there was this slide show of all the pictures taken in the past. It was funny seeing my uncle's afro hairdo. Grandpa used to smile a lot back in those days. And I just remembered that I was quite chubby back then.


All of my cousins and I sang a song for my grandpa called, Way Back To Love from the movie Music & Lyrics. Some of us was too nervous until we forgot our lines. Tried so hard to remember and ended up holding a piece of paper on stage.

Didn't eat much that night. I had no appetite for I wasn't hungry after having Oyster Mee Sua and Sweet Potato Fries earlier that evening. Total waste of good food.. UGH!!


Haven't got all the pictures from that night yet though. But Shirzie insisted that I update OR ELSE.. Which I dare not imagine. *scared* . So this will be a short update.




Till I get the rest of the pictures..

Peace out!

Bukit Cahaya

Seems that my plans for the weekend didn't end last midnight at 4am. My brothers and I went to Bukit Cahaya this morning after having breakfast at 9am. We were in luck coz the weather was breezy.

We walked

This 2 faggot's soared

Then rented bicycles

1st hour - RM5

every hour - RM 1

We cycled around blindly as soon as we got them. Then we got lost..

Bukit Cahaya aint small. Its very big with all sorts of plants, animals, fruit trees and much more.. The funny thing was we saw a monkey making love. Hillarious. We tried talking to a parrot, Guess it thought we were idiots coz it laughed at us real hard.. We froze for awhile then laughed our asses out at the parrot too.

Going from 1 place to another is quite far, that's why we need bicycles to go about faster. Its fun being able to feel the speed and the wind while going downhill. Dangerous too, but what the heck right?

But going uphills is another story. Some slopes are so steep we had to get down and push our bicycles up. Its very tiring until we had to stop to take a break after every climb. Its tougher than what I went through at National Service Camp or Basketball Training.

Even with maps, we still managed to get lost in between our journey. We were exhausted and about to give up. But sign of hope was there at the end of the long stretch.

Vincent imitating Michael Jackson in Earth Song.

See how much feeling he put in his imitation of MJ?

LoL

Chopstick attempting The Lean.

Not bad for his first time right?

Soya the Air Baby

Salutes to you!

And the Brotha's version of the National Monument.

As dead as we looked after leaving the place, although some shit happened along the way, we had awesome fun and earned ourselves a phobia of cycling.

As Dmon calls it,

Cyclephobia.
- Fear of bicycle

Bad Day

Not happy with today. Wanna punch today in the face.. Work was getting boring and time seems to trickle by than before. I was feeling neutral facing the loads of files. Throughout the day, I had to be constantly reminded the fact that I'm a shorty. Although I know that they have no intention to bring up about it, I usually don't mind about my height but somehow this time I didn't take it as well as before. I just can't help but feel indirectly teased at over and over again.. It's like forcing me into a dead end muted.. Totally worsen my mood. .


At one period during the day, we started talking about love life and studies.. A senior colleague shared about her stories and everything she said made sense. I learned so much from her and got to accept the facts that I'm going to face no matter in the present or future.. Then I began to think where and what will I be in the future.. Headache. .


It was cool that I finally got back home as I'd be able to rest for a bit. Supposed to go have a drink with birthday boy, Yong and a few friends but didn't felt like going. . That was until Soya blackmailed me to go.. Seen the ones I was avoiding which I hoped not to see. Also felt sorry as I wasn't at my best to entertain anyone but I did try.


Everything was not stated clearly understandable for it was just for me to remind myself. I don't wish to be depressed but I can't help myself. Hope I get over it soon.. *sigh*
