I'm coming home!

Dear blog, so that i do not forget,



Yeah! Finally its time to go back after four years of uni!. It has been a long four years and a whole journey with many roadbumps and opportunities.

24 hours from now, I would be on a plane 12 hours from my Bb and home. Said my goodbyes to so many people already, Imperial frens, housemates, old hallmates, LSE frens and Ethos. Lets see, seafood session at Mandrin Kitchen, monopoly, Bacardi, barbecue, gym, swim, Thai, steak, chinese, Hyde Park, Fusball, Sorbet, Bugis Street, Bayswater, Burberry, Boots all in a week! Ouch!

Anyway, mum and dad are here from Paris and they met up with loads of old friends. I am happy that they are here with me, yet its sad somehomw. Its sad to see how they have aged as I have grown. Its so sad to my bro drowning in computer games. Its sad to see Kiki in a cage for a week, poor boy. Its sad that bb is still 36 hours away.

Still, I it has been an eventful year, where I prooved to myself that nothing is impossible. Got an award from Credit Suisse (again). Thanks Hui Xian for helping me win:

which I gave to Bb cause her lappie went broke.
And then there was that unexpected win at Bosch. Amazing braised lamb at the Royal Academy of Engineering and also got to meet the inventor of Kinect!

Even got the highest in the research project with Nigel.

and highest final year design project with Team 5!

What a year. This First Class is for you all!

Bought a lot of gifts, and gonna take down the

from my wall. The sweet memories that babe and I made. From left: Lumut, Genting Highlands, Lumut, Ampang Lookout point with S3, Berjaya Times Square roller coaster, Port Dickson Thistle, KLCC 42nd Floor, Random pic while I was playing PS, Bb's birthday 2010, iCity,  Vain Bb @ Lumut, and Najib's (PM's) Raya open house.

WTH, some chinaman left something on the stove and its burning, smoking the whole house. Why cant I just let the house burn down? Oh, cause im still here. Ah well, 1 more day and no more chinaman.

Time to continue packing and hope to revisit this page when I miss my uni life!

A bunch of gay guys and hot girls bent on creating Melbourne's best dance club!!! Well, as many of you may know, this is my last semester on exchange in the University of Melbourne. I was very fortunate to be able to be a part of 2009's production, Maelstrom. I made many new friends doing that, I am sure that Flare will bring joy to its new members as it did to me. Sadly, I won't be able to be part of Flare this semester (Even as I type, I have 5 pile of A4 papers lined up on my desk). Nonetheless, the partay in the park was great! It was an afternoon welcome session for all the new members and for the other members to have some fun. The 60 odd people were divided into four groups and were tasked to do some silly things.

When I arrived at University Square, there was this bunch of people doing a serious group hug!
Anyway, when I got there, the groups were tasked with doing funny things like make a human bicycle...

The handle bar..
You can be the pedals...
You know what, bicycles have very uncomfortable seats, not this one!
Head lamps, just in case it gets dark...
Watch the competition on iPhone!

After that, round 2 was a plane competition! The goal was to crash into the other plane and who remained intact wins!

This Boeing comes with cushion seats and bow maiden! 8 horse power engines are free too. See the video planes crashing into each other!

Model in the midst!

Saturday, 14th of March 2009.. i found myself in the Bentley Hotel. a 5 star hotel in South Kensington, just 10 mins from my house fortunately. The decor was heavy and the flowers fresh. Starting at £200 a night, the hotel looks are really a sight.
But I was not just there to take pictures of pretty flowers...Guess whos lips are these? Beside my cocky smile there lies a mysterious model.

Angie Ng!!!! My "big sister" when i was in Joberon Patrol in CTC 2001! That was so so long ago when I was half her size ( I was really tiny last time ). She is studying law in Reading and is staying like 20 mins away from my place.. and in her free time, she models!! She was shooting a music video! Kewl!
