New Year's Eve Photos

This is a long overdue post that I have been wanting to post up but due to my busy schedule and lack of internet connection, I have not been able to put them up. So...for the new year's countdown, I headed over to Juru Autocity to celebrate in welcoming 2008. We had dinner, talked crap, became part of a concert crowd straing blankly at the unknown artists performing, and had tonnes of fun! Sandra drove Franklin and I over to the otherside of the bridge and we decided to crash over at Mei Zhi's for the night and only return to the island the next day. Here are the PICTURES!!!


-we dined at Takehana Japanese restaurant.

- Mei Zhi and Sandra managed to spend some quality cam-whoring moments (i'm so glad I took this picture).

- In the MADDENING crowd.


- We met Lee Xin!


- And more self-taken pictures, this time in the car.


At the end of the day, we were tired as hell and I slept at like 4am in the mornin'. All of us slept in the next day.


- K.O.


Eventually, we got up, Mei Zhi's mum cooked us a great lunch and we played some card games. We left and I arrived home at like 5pm. That was a pretty great day, i'm so glad I spent it with such great friends!

The first week

They were seated around a table at the place Sophia dubbed as "the Chinese Stalls". They were engaged in amicable conversation, narrating stories of their events, outings and details of their relaxation activities in the past holiday month. I joined them, ordering a plate of Chicken rice. You'd think I've had enough Chicken rice back in Penang just a week earlier, but I like Chicken rice. Somehow, I like KL-style chicken rice. Our topic changed to our results from last semester's subjects. Comparing grades, and wondering who got what.

I take a second look at them all. Everyone of them still looks the same. Only a few changes here and there. Kar Weng has a generous mop of hair now. Pam coloured hers. Jon's hasn't moved since July 0f 2007. Everyone looked great.

Under the shadow of the umbrella that shields us from the scorching sun looming overhead, we started to groan about the impending workload that is destined for each and everyone of us. We groaned about the assignments. We whined about the mind boggling tasks. We bitched about the sleepless nights. I thought to myself, "the new semester has officially started."

My mind drifted away from their conversation. Their voices faded to a minimal in my mind. I started to worry about the subjects that I have chosen. I'm taking 5 classes but only 2 of those are the same as the ones that they are taking. "Do I really want to seperate from them?" I thought deep and hard. I've really grown attached to them. What should I do?
