My official ritirement.

Finally the English 2 course evaluation for drama is over. Breathing a sigh of relieve, I leave behind what could and hopefully is the last drama i'll be in my life. So here it is. I resign from the drama industry. It's been fun to work with Eric, Jenny, Serena and Chin.


Though I always dreaded practises, it was fun in one way or another. Though I say it;s fun, I do not wish to have to do it again. :) Hopefully the evaluation of our drama is a good one as it carries 20% of our overall English marks for this semester. :)



So my role was as a ghost and more importantly as a father in a drama which was about a ...well too complicated. Tell you if you wanna know. Mail me and i'll tell you.







Gua Tempurung





Here in the areas near utp....I would say the attractions ae mostly food or actually maybe if we had more choices they might not be attractions at all. Just little little towns in between bigger towns. Haha. But we do have a few and one of it is Gua Tempurung. The first half of the semester, me, michael(roomy), jenny and Chua went.



We did no have much time so we went for the easy and exciting trail, the golden flowstone trail. It was somewhat not exciting and quite disappointing. Haha. This half of the sem we were determined to go to this Gua. We woke up early to reach the Gua as the trail was only open from 9am-12pm. Owh yeah, its the Grand Tour. 22 ringgit per person. There were eleven of us and the girls initially did not want to go for the Grand Tour as it was a wet trail but afte much persuasion, we did go. Haha. Half way through the Grand Tour we thought or at least I thought the girls were right. Haha. We had to crawl through tunnels filled with water, squad and walk. Slide down a rock which didn't seem safe at all. Go through a hole. The small of bat poop . The feeling of earth all around you. And not being able to see properly as eleven of us shared one tiny torchlight in a cave where you would not be able to see your own hands when the lights are all offed. Haha. We came out one end and thought it was done
.


Then the guide told us we were just half way as we had to make it back to the other opening. Haha. The total trail was 3 and a half hours. It was tiring . Sort of a regret at some point in the cave but as I look at it now...it was fun. A lot of fun. Haha.



Had one of my worst photograph taken at the entrance to the Grand Tour.

My Indian Adventure


After so long I finally get stable internet connection to upload photos so I can post bout my Indian Night or rather UTP'S. So m y batch, the January 2008 batch is a small batch in terms of the Indian and Chinese population. There are only nine Indian guys and sadly for them, there's no Indian girls in our batch. The night was called Athiradee night. I kind of forgot what that means. Lost the flyer that explains everything.


Anyways I got myself a Jeepa for the night. Not sure how you spell it but I got the Jeepa from a street that reminds me a bit of India Street in Kuching except with more Indians. Haha.

(camera adds on 30 pounds. Haha)

So my Indian friends had this dance performance. A ten minute one. Guess what?? I joined in for like the last three minutes. dressing up as an Indian mafia walking from the door of the room to the stage, stopping somewhere in the middle to have a can of Red Bull and then accompanied to the stage by two Indian shemales. Haha. For there were no Indian girls in the batch, a few or most of my friends decided to dance in Saris. Haha.

After my walk I joined for the last song to dance. It was fun and exciting. A new experience. My first public dance and I was the only chinese guy performing. Sadly I don't have any photos of the performance to post up. If I do get my hand on some I'll be sure to post them up. Videos however I do have but I guess it would be just to hilarious to post them up. Haha.

Argh!! A holiday that really is too short!!

It was just last Friday when I arrived in Kuching and rushed to Open Air for a bowl of Kolo mee and sio bee. Today, a week has passed and I'm already supposed to start packing for my departure on Monday. It really is too short. My last holiday of seven weeks was too long. Haha. But maybe short holidays like these makes a person miss home more. :)





l

I guess the event with the most significance was my Grandma's 81st birthday. The one I left one day earlier for. 27th September. Then the day after that was my Granduncle no.6 75th Birthday. Then came Hari Raya. Visited the old lady who used to take care of my late grandmother. The only person who goes around screaming Ah Hock when she sees me. haha



Of course in between or rather everyday Anggum would come to my house in his Silver Myvi to bring me out. Then going out with friends and such. Oh yea...don't forget the 7 kolo mee and 2 laksa up till today. Still got one more laksa to eat tomorrow morning. Haha
