W.S

Haha. Here's the brain busting idea I had that would revolutionise the way some things are. Had to keep it locked for if not it would come up on google and such and then everyone might grab at it sooner or later. Saving it for me. Haha. So came up with a new blog which I would from now on keep my private posts rather than having this whole narcist blog of mine locked down.

www.grahamtanprivateposts.wordpress.com

this way I can have some privacy every now and then. I would however keep the post title posted here so those who would eventually be allowed to read will know the post exists. PM for password to post

Once Upon a Chindian Gathering...

Just came back from Chindian Gathering. Lazy type so just put pictures.

Ever wondered why the chair didn't break in the first place??Successfully covered the faces of the people behind me and kalai

Sharing Is Caring

Change

Been thinking of change these past few days. Changing bits and pieces of lifestyle that would add to a better being. Anyways, what I changed today is the blog title. From a 'Space That Revolves Around Me' to ' The Asylum of Narcism'. Saw Ah Hoo's blog, Pace towards the memoir of mine. It sounds cool. Thought I should have a cool title for my blog too.

In my efforts of unearthing my life's proximity to inhumane narcissim I went to google for a thesaurus that would supply me with all the bombastic words to spice up my blog title. In the end stuck with words I knew . The words in the thesaurus didn't sound cool. Any comments or suggestions on the blog title?? :)

Pre-lectures...

The norm post for the day before the semester starts. Everyone who's anyone who has a blog surely has this post. A post for the day before the start of semester. Finally got a timetable done. I mean I had but there were changes.

Looks ok. 18 credit hours for this semester. The same as the last I guess. Last semester was a bust. Now have to reassess. I guess pre-lecture preparations would come in very handy as well as pre lab. Have six subjects this semester but four of which has at a two hour lab with Geomatics having a four hour lab. The white spaces are time with no classes.

Anyways this semester there are 3 goals to achieve. Not going to elaborate.Actually went to the library on Friday. First time going to the IRC before semester starts. Officially retiring from Dota, DC. Having oats for breakfast skipping lunch. Cooking on weekends. Learning mandarin . All these are some efforts for the 3 goals ;)

Days of return!

Being back to UTP is always something to look forward to. Every trip back to UTP promises tonnes of surprises. Came back one week early for UTP Chinese Orchestra. Surely but sadly enough, had to leave my beloved orchestra family behind after some shocking news :(

That being said, I was bored for a few days. Having fun playing sports with Mike and Tamil. Anyways, when Kalai came back the promise of surprise and excitement came along with him.

Meet Kalaimany. My friend from Sepang, home of LCCT and the Sepang F1 circuit. Don't forget KLIA too. Haha. Kalai decided to be cute this sem so he put on this brand new hip and hot hair cut. He's doing it monk style.

So today 19 people, in four cars went to Ipoh for Harry Potter. Stopped at Foh San this super duper big Dim Sum place. Then went to watch Harry Potter which wasn't so great. Anyways, me and Mike finally got the hot plate and pans we wanted for our room together with utensils and can stuff. Haha. I got a new bottle of shampoo. The girl(s) claimed that the rejoice I was using has a strong uninviting smell. So I changed to this orange coloured thing.

Then we went Kampung Bali. UTP had it's first traffic jam because tonnes of people loaded the uni for the AL-QURAN thingy. The Sultan was coming so there were tonnes of police in the uni. Then the final bit, we got our Chindian t-shirt. The ever so waited shirt.SHARING IS CARING.

Wo keyi bang nin ma??

Here's a life long investment. One which the payment can be made at MPH. Haha. Got a mandarin box. Berlitz Intermediate Mandarin Chinese. It comes with a book, and three cd's costing just ten cents under a hundred ringgit. Soon I'll master the ancient language and speak to you like a China Man. :)

Got my phone fixed too. Changed the damn screen and reformated the phone. Now it's like a new phone. for those who laughed at it's suckiness before....take it back. I'm sure the shop in Bintulu would want to make a deal now. :)

Big time travelling

Conquering land, sea and air, the westies came to visit the east. A total of two groups, around 20 people all from UTP came over to Sarawak. Group one consisted of Liang Yi, Fang Yee, Shih Gin, Jia Lin, Laura, Xiao Ci, Pei Ying, Michael and me. The members of the group often changed with Serena replacing Laura in Bintulu. Haha. Where group one went?? Kuching, Sibu and then Bintulu. From the 1st of July to the 7th of July. An amazing week. Group 2 had and still has Lim, Kerry, Chua, Yi Herng, Steward, Jenny, Chin, Eric, Lawrence, Vyner, Hon, . NOt sure whether did I leave anyone out here. Group 2 has a ten day tour of Sarawak which is still taking place. They will eventually finish visiting Kuching, Bintulu and Miri.

In Kuching, going out was a bit difficult because of the big number. Me, Kerry , Kerry's dad and Vyner's someone drove. Everywhere we went we had to wait for everyone and it wasn't easy.
