last entry of 2004

it's been so long since i last blogged from uni but recently, uniten had this new IT building and it's time to give it a try. i've gotta admit it's pretty cool. much better than the engineering block for sure. anyway, i've got a class in 30 mins and since i've gotta settle some stuff on my project after the class and then rush to jason's place for the new year eve's dinner, i guess that would leave me with precious little time to blog again before midnight. meaning? this will be my last entry for the year 2004... hahaha...
so what can i say bout 2004? generally it's been good. i'm finally feeling a bit more comfortable studying in uniten, finally being able to adapt to my surroundings. quite a lot have changed compared to my first sem here and the changes were pretty much good for me (it's not great though...) however, i've really gotta improve on my time management and to set my priorities straight. gotta stop ignoring the people beside me (especially ly) when i'm pressured by my studies... conclusion? 2004 ain't that bad... =)
with all that said, i must add that i've got a much higher expectation for 2005... 2004 was good, 2005 better be great! hahaha... but we'll just have to wait and see don't we?
anyway, it's time to say farewell again (the new building is cool, but it's bloody far from the main engineering block... damn...)
have a happy, happy new year everyone!!!
and god bless...
see ya in 2005... hahaha...

time flies...

i was watching a replay of a 1996 FA cup semi final match between man utd and chelsea on espn when i suddenly realized how fast time flew by... as i watched the players (beckham, giggs, keane, cantona) play, i remembered this was the team that made me support man utd in the first place. especially cantona. man, he's exceptional. and after that, another fact hit me - this match took place 8 years ago! 8 years!

i wondered how much i've change over the years. did i turn out to be a better man or worse? i look at the players and from my point, they haven't changed a bit. their style, their character, their movement.

and tomorrow will be the start of a new year. 2004 will be history and we will usher in 2005. how will it be? one thing for sure, it will start on a solemn tone. the tsunami disaster which hit the south east asia is leaving such a huge impact that it will take years for this region to recover. i've always known that mother nature has a funny but cruel way of reminding us just how powerful she can be if she wanted to. just as we were taking her for granted, bam! she hits us with something like this. but never before has it been so fearsome. although malaysia (especially kl) wasn't as badly hit compared to our neighbors but the fact that tens of thousands lost their lives does have a huge impact.

anyway, all that happened made me recall the good old times. and i've realized that family and friends come first before anything else in life (my life at least)... so just let me take this moment to thank all my friends and family (i dun really know which category does ly belong to?) for being there for me through good times and bad... i dun wanna name names coz you guys know if you are my friends or not and i won't hurt anyone's feelings this way... hahaha... however, the few who are really special to me (jacky, kam, jason, zi hui, ang), you guys have shown me the true meaning of friendship...

and not to forget, ly... better mention her here before she gets jealous... hahaha... well, like kam said, new year's eve will always be special to us... we're going into our fifth year now... amazing isn't it? to think that i barely knew here when we started our relationship... yup.. that's right, we weren't even friends... it was just my gut feeling that she's special and the way she made me feel so comfortable when i'm around her... she will always be special to me, an amazing girl... i'm glad she's mine... =)

i could go on and on about the past but i really should stop here... it's getting really late and i have to get back to my reality and the present... i've got loads of assignments and the projects ain't going on smoothly... my tests are coming up and i haven't started studying... hahaha... ain't the reality harsh? well, i'll save all that for my next blog...

have a happy new year everyone and god bless!!!

till next time...

a long break

hi! i'm back after a long, long, long break from the world of bloggers... needed that break though... set my priorities right, getting back to my studies, trying to get back on track with all the things going on right now... i've been busy...

anyway, while i was away, i've turned 21, started a new semester, spent my christmas in penang (in the midst of the tsunami scare), got my ears pierced again and i've been extremely busy huh? hahaha...

at first it was fun with all the project and stuff to do... but now with the sem in full swing, it's getting pretty tiring. i barely have enough time left in my day to even meet my gf! everything feels so weird now. i've got to plan for everything in advance. can't go out when i feel like going out anymore. well, this sem is gonna be challenging... anyway, as long as i can juggle my time well, i guess this would also be an interesting time for me in uniten. it would allow me to judge my true capabilities... hahaha... it's a load of crap... =)

come to think of it, this time has been good for my relationship with ly too. i've said before that i've been seriously reconsidering my relationship with her. however, this time spent apart has made us miss each other more and has made my heart grow fonder. we still have our frequent arguments but i look forward to seeing her so much more. we've got a date coming this thurs and for the first time after so long, i'm actually thinking about it, making plans... man, this is weird!

anyway, i'm really looking forward to the new year. it's probably gonna start with a bbq dinner at a friends house. and after that... i can just hope for the best... =)

ps: it feels good to be back...
