That was more or less the bittersweet summary of my A-Levels Ball experience, strange innit? I'm quite sure I got my thrill that night though. So anyways, it was supposed to start at 7 when they really had a hard time getting everyone into the ballroom. To be frank I've never been to Mandarin.. was rather spellbound when I saw the ballroom.

If you thought the ballroom was magnificent wait till you see the toilet, yes the toilet. It sounds rather inappropriate to put it that way, but SERIOUSLY! I quote Wei Jin : "This hotel has a toilet IN A TOILET!"

Front view of le johns'

Side view of.. that's edwin btw.. now we know who's more vain.. not forgetting Encik Tuala by the side.

To be more precise, the toilet was almost as big as... you could park a car in it. I mean it, no hiperbolic expressions involved.

Before you continue scrolling, I'd like to apologize for the low quality of pictures that would cause optical damage to my most respected readers out there (if you guys are still there =/).

Jomi sorry.. I sucked in your coat.. Thought he'd look better in it..
This's Keyang btw. JerryC wannabe?

Loong kor! which means dragon. Probably the most random guy from miri I know.
I don't know that many anyway.

Left to right : June Liang, Chee Kien (Setapak shuffler!) and Jie (Kedah's Pride)

Left to right : Wei Jin (eye candy nominator), Caleb ("anymore sarcasm and it'll be hurtful"), Ashvini & June Liang.

Loo and Keyang (Goddess Fans)

Eat some eat.. Sitting at table 45.. we had the front view of the rear entrance of the ballroom, like front row seats for the red carpet showcase! Sadly that meant we were the furthest from the stage.. well not that it really made a difference.. Bands that performed were Borange, some other super awesome jazz band, which then switched their vocalist to 18 year old Cheryl Tan (I have no idea who you are but you sound like Gwen Stefani Jr.). Singing belaian jiwa, frontman Keeshaw (I hope I got this right) along with the rest of Borange (I think?), started out kinda sloppy but you could tell they meant business when Accidentally In Love brought life back into their show again.

A few simple games here and there to get the ballroom pretty hyped up, along with the best dressed male and female award - Wei Jin (not the one we know) as best dressed male and who was best dressed female again..? With prom king being Mr JoTe and Ms Sukanya as prom queen, Borange (without Keeshaw now) elevated the scene with Dancing in the Moonlight, a definite hearthrob for the ladies.

And what a way to end the prom by evolving from band-played-dance-songs to RnB dance tracks, then adjourning to house music... ugh. Couldn't be bothered, so we HAD to snap our final memories outside the ballroom.

Ming Ka (sorry if I spelt wrong) and Yours Truly (hmm i prefer to be labelled cheez/chee seng)

That's Calvin in between Chee Kien and I.
(Sorry I had to use this pic, i sucked in the other same one though it had better quality.)

Left to right : Wai Onn, Zhan Sheng and Cheng Wei.

Terrible lighting. Thousand apologies.

Well that was more or less about it, my Canon A430 Powershot was underused, perhaps because it didn't have anti-shock, less loading speed and a super-sexy-slim body. I don't blame you dear, we'll work to turn you into a hot Ixus alright? Before leaving I reallocated my car at a higher level since there was space, and couldn't help but pay tribute to

OMG! Nissan Skyline R34?! I think. Anyways it was a breathtaking moment. Pretty much like when she passes by.

Hahahaha. This brings back memories.

The ball ended that night but I was quite sure that it didn't for the rest of us. The rest of the night laughing at Wei Jin competing against me in NFS:Carbon for eye candy? (you lost pal, i'm probably ahead in the race now). Thks fr the mmrs.

Where is she...?

Autobots Rollout!

Before I begin.. NO SPOILERS** I SWEAR!
This year's most anticipated flick - Transformers - The Movie. Was it really?

Here's a few reasons why it should win the best movie of the year award..

1) Hot lead actresses
Sure maybe any movie could get some random hot girl to star in it, but Michael Bay (director) was a guy with vision. He didn't just take some girl next door - he brought the next closest thing to Helen of Troy! We're talking about Megan Fox and Rachel Taylor (okay maybe not as hot as Megan but hey two's always better than one!). Playing the lead actress Mikaela, Megan may seem like your everyday-i'm-so-hot-and-i-can't-resist-guys-with-awesome-body kinda girl but she's not only an S-class eye candy - she's really handy with cars too. As for Rachel Taylor.. she's a beauty with brains and a darn cool English accent.

Megan Fox a.k.a Mikaela
(Appeared in Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen *apparently*)

2) Breathtaking action scenes
It may just be bunch of toy transformers in a battle royale but NO! Michael Bay has probably stolen every idea from On The Lot and added his own touch of magic to the movie. The result was the clash of titans between the Autobot armada against the Decepticon... deceivers! Anyway, the action scenes were like 1mm away from realism, so you should know how close that is.

3) Excellent artwork woven alive
Gloss is the new black. These transformers hav the most shiny exoskeleton that would leave anyone drooling all over the artwork. Of course with a company like Dreamworks backing this movie up, it's no wonder to see the best of animation imbued within these warriors of Cybertron. However to a certain extent, the flame vinyl of Optimus Prime has been labelled 'jeng'. Jeng or not, I still think Optimus has the most awesome artwork of all Autobots.. next to that dual-cannon bot.. forgot his name though.

4) Versatile lead actor - Eddie from Even Stevens?!

Yeap it's that boy. Johnny Depp Jr? In the running maybe. This maybe the first time I've seen him in a movie but apparently he's started in The Greatest Game Ever Played, as the main character. Yeah I won't take the trouble to search up his name, but he is just darn good. Alternating between humour and drama, he can change expressions more frequent than daily underwear changes! Daniel Radcliffe.. you have a tough opponent this year XP

5) Sleek and hot cars
This element appeals to everyone. Girls love that Porsche that Jazz transforms into, and don't tell me you weren't eyes wide open when Bumblebee 'revamped' himself as a Camaro. Fyi these aren't spoilers.. haven't spoiled any of the plot yet have I? XP I know this doesn't fit in this category but STARSCREAM and BLACKOUT are the coolest transformers EVER! Transforming from a F-22 and some chopper which I may not have paid attention to, their bot form is just insanely 'yeng', if i were to put it.

6) Awesome OST
A movie and its soundtrack go hand in hand. Many movies out there are really good, but having a great soundtrack complimenting it is a different story. Now the Transformers OST is a compilation of various rock artists, surprisingly even Styles Of Beyond (Fort Minor's crew anyone?). EXCLUDING LINKIN PARK'S WHAT I'VE DONE, this is really a sexy piece of soundtrack you'd wish you get your hands on. Taking Back Sunday, Goo Goo Dolls, The Used, HIM, Armor For Sleep, Disturbed and Smashing Pumpkins just to name a few. IF you've gotten it, please let me know. Just leave a note here cuz I really want one song that I was looking for when it was played during the movie... it was an inspiring tune that rang n left, just like Helen of Troy.. sigh..

Transformers OST - I WANT!

Okay maybe there wasn't enough proof that this movie deserves the movie of the year award. Well then, what other movies could've won it? Please don't say Harry Potter.. it gave me that WOW effect when I was watching the trailer wich was like mole hill compared to that Transformers mountain! Before you critics kick in once again, I'd love to say MEGAN FOX ROX MY SOX! wow lots of oxs.

This is an image response to 'Salivation without..'

Finally. Time. Yes sorry this has been delayed. This a response to you 'Salivation without the first i'!! Anyhow, this i shall try to record this one using a new technique - the photographic voice. Cheezlangkawishuffle day 2 AND 3!

Was still at langkawi mall.. getting ready to leave the parking lot..

Heh.

Heh?

21st century radio. seriously took us almost forever to try to work it which did not happen. eventually found out langkawi had only ONE STATION, YES ONE wtf why one? Kedah so near oso can't receive meh?! the rest of it was pleasant static. oh yes, the sweet sound of static. zzzzzz.

Dad and Uncle John Varsanyi, yani for short. why is it yani for short anyway...? looks like some bouncer at zouk..

... Malaysia, piratedly asia. and it's not just the VCDs, they've stolen the colonel sanders' royalty!

nothing like the original recipe eh?

Random pre-sunset shot. Leaving Kuah.. back to suites..

Serena convoy! i don't even know who they are. Stopped by at some fruit stall on the way back.

If there's anything better than chocolate.. its alcohol AND chocolate =)

19 different liquors within bottle-shaped chocolates. they've got it all from malibu, jack daniel's, vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, martini i'm randoming now please move on chivas, henessy, sake..

Of course no trip would be complete without our OWN chocolates. Chee Hong bought some bitter chocolate. not my stuff. seriously.

JD.. JD.. MORE PLEASEEEE..


Ok enough. Behtahan adi. Went to get some snooze. Day 3. we went separate ways. Uncle Yani, Auntie Kwi Ching, Timmy and Priscilla spent their WHOLE morning at the pool. Instead, we went to this cultural village.. which was right outside the hotel, which we did not notice till our last day of stay at Berjaya. Wow =) How observant! Oh to DU people out there, I met Wei Hsuen at Langkawi! Sadly didn't cross my mind to snap photos with him.. he was about to leave when we arrived at some roadside warong anyway.. Dined at some random Jap restaurant instead..

Some people just can't stand sitting up straight.

Mom and dad! hehehe now i know where i inherited my poser-ism

Random exploration.. on the way to Holland.

?!

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to The Andaman. We hope your stay with us will be a memorable and pleasant one. It IS a majestic and awfully serene palace-like hotel.

No mom we're not allowed to bring that back.

Oho! So what do we do? Stop when they cross? Might as well have a traffic light

Andamanbeachview.jpg

Andamantryingtobeemo.jpg

Leaving Holland..

On the way back.. and thought I'd leave a souvenir for Miss Canada.. XP


Upon returning to the suites, packing was in progress and eventually it was goodbye langkawi. But this trip is not complete till..

...you've climbed the eagle?

thisphotographisproof.jpg

Taking off as we leave o faithful eagle, I've definitely left my footsteps here.

Phaseshift.

February has been a rather pleasing month to me. So pleasant that this post will not involve any pictures XP. This period of less-than-30-days has taught me to feel grateful again for what i have. Oh right, Happy Chinese New Year!

It may sound wrong but going back to Bukit Pelandok this year has kept me smiling throughout my entire trip. Well not all the time. But it's just that reunion feeling that goes beyond happiness. And that feeling is totally indescribable.

PS: To fans of my vacation trips (like the unfinished langkawi post), if there are any, it will quite some time more till i get back to it. Honestly I've been losing the hype to blog. Sorry. Note: Bukit Pelandok is my hometown, it's near Sungai Nipah, the J.E. place? yeah. Thank God that was the past.

However back to this period of time. Due to overstatements and excessive commercials, the 14th of this month can be compared to a piece of shxt labelled 'chocolate'. When I was enlightened by Ms C during EngLit.. I couldn't agree more to Singles' Awareness Day, as well as to question, why the heck do people make such a big fuss about that day, when all it was known for, was a Saint who married people off secretly just so they wouldn't have to shed blood on the battlefield in war?? This is not a broken-hearted helpless romantic screaming for attention, but rather an individualist tearing off that 'chocolate' label of the piece of shxt, allowing its' stench to circulate and eventually bring conscience to those blinded by the media.

Moving on, CNY is up! Attended my first cny church service and it really gives a refreshing feeling! Everytime I get back to Bukit Pelandok a feel this great surge of faith, fire and strength, similar to the hype of praising and worship! Imagine a congregation of less than 40, lifting their hearts solely to Him and bearing witness to such strength in faith reminds me of how bad we want Him and all of it.. God is really magnificent (tell you why soon enough). Oh and as this's the year of the pig, i've been having loads of.. BABI!!! zomg. so much of it. i've had 'zhu du tang' (pork stomache soup), wich has loads of pork... and intestines.. gosh i love it. SO MUCH.

This cny, wit angpaos going on, I have yet to check my blessings this year. All I know is i surrender all that cash to God in contribution to ministrying in music (an electric guitar this year Lord, please =]).

Random thoughts. Ghost rider is really like that piece of sh.. labelled.. you get wha' mean. Aunt's got reunion and housewarming in penang this coming sat.. can't play for uth =( (perhaps He knows it's not my time to play lead..?).. I hope my next post will resume on those wonderful trips.. with lots of pics. I really hope. Right, about why God is so magnificent. Believe or not my cousin has been sharing the gospel with my grandmother for about 1-2 months.. and she's accepted Christ! It's said that the whole of heaven rejoices even when one soul is saved, what more the rest of the earth! Praise God and all glory to Him!!

Scripture to engrave : Jeremiah 29:11


February 14th another day,
how to love a person - infinite ways,
'i love you's on every other day,
isn't it just another phase?

Salivation without the i. The first i.

WARNING: Not for the straightforwarded and feint-hearted ones. Excessively lenghty blog post ahead. May contain boredom pheromones. Continue scrolling at your own risk. What a way to welcome the james-bond-duality year (two-double-OH-seven) with a bird's eye view of the fireworks, abandoned apartments style. For pictures of the magnificent display, please visit Encik Jomi's website (shucks free advertising again. sigh.). Anyways, it has been really two months of labour and toil.. as along with the other fellow A-Levels people of HELP, i have endured, experienced and finally enjoyed after all of it. I guess the taste of freedom can be related to blogging. You spend like ages working on ONE post (cuz I doubt everyone updates everyday), and the satisfaction is just awesome. Tastes just as good as Klang Bak Kut Teh except better =)

Anyways, this is long overdue. It must be the current trend I guess, Jomi's ineedtostopoverduebloggingsyndrome. Here you go! Cheezlangkawishuffle!

CheezLangkawiShuffle - Day 1

Mm. Flight time was sometime in the afternoon. Bloody delayed it with another hour of patience. Gah.
My relatives from Kenyang (HUNGaRY) XP Laugh la.. even though not funny. Anyway, left to right : Uncle John, Auntie Kwi Ching, Priscilla and Little Timmy! (Timothy)
They've made this langkawi trip one to really remember. Oh yeah, btw my cousin sister Priscilla, she's.. Form 2 this year if converted to Malaysian schools, buttt... her syllabus is somewhere in between SPM and A-Levels.. that's like darn smart for a 14 year old. *hats off* Anyway Timmy is just.. Timmy! Loves to sing. He's always singing Stellar Kart's Activate.. Screamo edition. Yah he loves to scream/sing too. Bright future in the emo world son.. Auntie Kwi Ching has just been such a blessing.. her faith is like this fountain overflowing.. and it just amazes me and reminds me of how great God is =) Uncle John's not too different either.. they live such Christ-orientated lives. Life's always so easy going and filled with joy, bearing in mind that He'll settle and overcome all of it!


This is Timmy. Timmy loves to play games. Timmy is playing bounce right now on his daddy's handphone. Least he found a way to kill his free time. Current price of chivas : 55.00 per bottle 18 yr old. So away from LCC KLIA and helooo langkawi!


Lodging provided by : Berjaya Beach and Spa Resort Langkawi. Facilities are relatively okay but they cost like 300 a night. And the price increases as the distance to the beach decreases.Therefore, the price is inversely proportional to the distance of the beach. Plotting a $ x 1/d graph.Kesan pokok hijau. Green tree effect. Oh surprisingly there were monkeys near the chalets we were living in. Didn't get pics of them though, you see I'm still rather slow with the camera. Didn't do much on the first day.. but the next day was not so much bumming. Lots of travelling. Wait till you see our ride..

Cheezlangkawishuffle - Day 2

Still down with sore throat and all.. Might I introduce you to the most economical breakfast yet!
So who's the younger one? XP Just so you know I suffer from an anti-aging-syndrome thanks to baby fat =) I thank God for our ride.. you'd do the same too after sitting in one of these..I present the Nissan.. Serena! Right? Serena right? Sorry my memory for comfort cars are not much as compared to those sleek cars out there. So we had to go a distance of like from Bandar Utama to... almost Port Dickson I think. Ya that's how far you'd have to travel if you live in Berjaya cuz Kuah Town's like the other side of the earth.. ARGH. I'm sorry to those looking forward to an organised post. I'll have to continue with another post cuz blogger won't allow me to write, post pics RIGHT where i want it to be, and write again. Keep an eye on the next post..

Retrospective.

Stolen title from ntv7's 11 pm programme coming on tonight. Retrospective 2006.

Anyway. not much time left. off to dinner soon so this post should be quick. i hope.

HILLSONGS UNITED LIVE @ SIB KL!

As promised. Tonight. We come before His throne with one sole purpose. It is the assembly of young souls heeding His calling. Tonight we are one, as we lift our praises and worship Him with the fullest of all our hearts. HILLSONGS UNITED LIVE SOUTH-EAST ASIA TOUR - MALAYSIA @ SIB KL!

24/11/06 - A night to remember. SIB KL was the place to be. It was only 7:15 p.m. as I was still in search of parking. We got lost in the midst of doing so. That Eastin Hotel area was pretty misleading. Eventually found our way which led to this insane neverending fleet of stairs. It was a biological traffic jam with several walks of life - kids, teens, adults, infants too! The pictures should tell the story of the massive SIB KL. As for United Live, *quotes* No video or audio recording is allowed during the worship service. darn. so you should get the picture - no band pics. no videos of their songs. just us and God.

Hillsong United Live 2006 Tickets!

Told you no audio or video recording during the service right..

Massive.

It was all over then..

Denise! and.. yun there! in the background on his phone!

Denise again =.= finally my pic =P

Sleek CLK parked behind my hot waja

That was it for their trip down to Malaysia this time as it was for ours this time to SIB KL. They promised a bigger and better encounter. We're praying for it. It was an impacting experience. Joel Houston : "We're just regular people playing music." One night. One purpose. One God. All glory to God!

PS: Like to give a shoutout to my lovely Canon Powershot A430.. couldn't have all these without you. Oh and the lead guitarist that night was Tim.. or something like that.. chatted with him but my senses were failing me.. resulted in communication breakdown.

glass.heart












will be back.

better.
