Week 4, Year 2010

So peeps, I am finally back into the blogging world. Seriously, I really don't know what to blog about thus the hiatus. Well, just a little update on the recent happenings in my life for today. I am still thinking of writing something philosophical but not today I guess. Hehe..

First up, uni life finally moved into the high speed it's supposed to be. The month of December had too much holidays during weekends, which I have no complaints about. XD
Test 1 approaching with 2 subjects down. D.E Test last wednesday was okay. Screwed up a little during Soil Mechanics this morning though, thus the wake up call to work harder, till CNY 1st that is. Haha.

Moving on, yours truly also went for Southern Cup Debating Championship in UTHM earlier this month, ranked 12 out of 28 teams. Definitely would have loved to break but well, it was fun to be team up with Wen Zhe and Zhang though. Imagine putting 3 whips together in one team. Haha.

Then, I had the trekking camp too. I didn't know Mersing has such high mountain till I climbed it and was so dead tired afterwards. The view from the top was great though. It was a nice experience and I sort of find the more adventurous side of me. Mayb more jungle trekking and mountain climbing in times to come? haha

Right now, AIESEC's STEP is moving on gear 4, at extremely fast paced. Gotta work harder to secure sponsorship. Sobs..Been slacking alot in terms of that. In addition, I got to move one level in my spiritual walk too, which is like on top of the priority list now. I know, actions :P

I am like having so much time with so much to do, so that leaves me with no chance to "socialize", if you get what I mean. Hehe. Till then, peeps keep in touch!

Hello 2010

A very happy new year to each and everyone of you all! How did you all spend the last day of 2009? Clubbing away? Countdown party in some hotspot? Or you spent it quietly at home with your family? For me, it was a whole new different countdown this time round. This is the first time I countdown away from home, in Skudai. I spent the night attending the covenant service in Hebron. It was a time of reflection and reminder of 2009 and an opportunity to renew our covenant with God once again as we enter into the new year. Pastor Daniel did something called The Stations Of Milestones, showcasing events that had taken place throughout the year 2009. As we walked to each stations, we meditated and took a moment to just think and looked back at those moments. It was quite new to me and fruitful as well as I began to understand and open my mind towards listening to Him. Oh well, next was pretty crazy. 11 youths went and stayed at Sister Jessie's place and most of us did not sleep until 5 am. I sort of have a good 3 hours of talk with Ezra and when morning came, I left for home. So I am back here in Kluang. haha! For work purpose, kie? Not come back for fun. All right now, wishing you all a blessed 2010 ahead once again!

Back To Work..

Time to get back to work. After two weeks of adrenalin rush for the festive season, everything is finally falling back into place. Not much reasons for me to go MIA from Skudai anymore. Studies for sem 2 has kicked in and picking up the pace. However, 2 of my lecturers said they want to go for a vacation so I prolly will have less lectures next week! What a start to semester 2. On the bright side of things, I guess it's time to finally settle down in Skudai. The next time you people see me around in KLuang, it's probably during the Chinese New Year break.

This whole week has somewhat been a little messy but the puzzle finally is pieced together this afternoon after a short tea session with Yosh. The whole Christmas season like I have said previously just feel so weird. One thing's for sure, it's back to the beginning of what I set out to do upon leaving for uni. What have I accomplished? Not much I guess. I need to work harder in order to open more windows to see more things from Him I supposed. Fuh. It ain't gonna be a simple journey but I definitely hope I am ready. Servanthood, spiritual growth, civil engineering studies, here I come!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The title says it all, it's Christmas again. The long awaited festival at the end of each year is finally here once again. After a month's long of decorations and sales, the day came and soon will be gone. Christmas this year for me has been very different in many aspects. But before I go further, let me first wished all you readers Merry Xmas and Blessed New Year!

This is the first Christmas that I am not on holidays. Previously, I am either on graduation break or school holidays break during Christmas but UTM started class early this semester thus I traveled back and forth to join the events here in Kluang. First up, I came back last Thursday to join a I Love Kluang Project to give out uniforms to a community and then a Christmas Cheer event in Kluang Mall on Sunday. Went back to Uni and came back on Wednesday to make it just in time for Carolling last night. The highlight of the whole Christmas season, The 1 Joy 1 Kluang event at Taman Tasek. It's a joint collaboration between churches in Kluang to celebrate and countdown to Christmas together. This event and carolling on the 23rd, when it is usually on the eve made Christmas special for me this year too.

Oh well, I took on the job to be a clown again and hopefully did my share of job to entertain the crowd there. It was a massive events with lots of performances and a whole loads of people. Kluang seems so Christmassy last night! Haha. These 2 weeks have made me realised that there's still so much for me to learn, so much for me to do before I embark on a new journey to start acting like a young adult. Of course I should do things a young adult will do however that I supposed should come in stages so I am gonna enjoy serving the Lord and remembering Him in the days of my youth above all else!

I have always embraced the belief that Christmas is a time to share a smile and spread the joy! So let's all be jolly and celebrate! Once again, a blessed Christmas all!

P/S : The writer welcomes presents from everyone of you, in fact you all should give as a sign of blessings unto the writer, no? :P

Royals 09

Royals or better known as Royal Intervarsity Debating Championship was held in Universiti Malaya this year. I took part in the senior category of the tournament by chance and had a fun time in KL. It was supposed to be a debating tournament but somehow turned out to be a trip where the UTM team travel around and eat and had fun. As a beginner, I guessed I did pretty decent partnering 2 3rd year seniors. We had 2 wins out of a possible 5. We did not make it to the quarter finals though, making each of us rather disappointed. It was an intriguing time debating and seeing others' point of views and getting adjudication on how I can be a better debater. The tournament was good with some not so good arrangements by UM but well, let's not criticize the number 1 uni in Malaysia. It was like a food trip too, ate Ipoh Taugeh Chicken at Jalan Gasing, mamak at Murni in SS2, Jalan Alor's frog porridge, Alexis Bar's expensive cake, Sake Sushi and Shah Alam's char siew. It was really fun hanging out with those seniors of mine. Too bad I did not make too many new friends. Haha. Well, pictures on the trip will be up on fb! so do visit my page! XD

Survey Camp

And so I went back to UTM on 15th evening, slept in my friend's room and headed for registration for the survey camp the next morning. Basically survey camp is where we put what we learnt in engineering surveying to practice and our destination, Kuala Linggi, Malacca where the project requires us to come up with a plan to widen the existing road. It was a bittersweet 9 days in Malacca. One thing's for sure, friendship was built and bonds become stronger. I really love and am proud being a UTM-er with you all!

The journey started on 16th morning and we reached there about late afternoon. Briefing was given the night and field work kicked off the next morning. We were behind schedule due to lack of practice and also the weather. We admit we could and should have been more efficient as we know weather during end of the year is never that good. It was scorching out at times and pouring like there's no tomorrow at other. Well, we somehow managed to complete our projects and submitted everything on the final day. I guess no one can forget about all the "lectures" we got and the challenges to think out of the box. My teammates were great too. Mazen, an international student totally worked his butt off for the team and I salute him for that! Haha! Amira, Faisal, Hazwani and Faer, you guys rock! Glad to be in a team! =)

Foodwise, I have no complaints lar although you would have wished for better food. Facing the Malacca Straits everyday is quite an experience. The sunrise, sunset and the breeze along the storm. It really does show how amazing the creation of God is.

For more pictures, do visit my facebook to view them there. To all, thanks for making this survey camp memorable.

Next up, KL here I come XD
