So you think you can dance.. dance.. dance..

Unis going alrite...been to most of my classes... starting to hate stats and econometrics.. damn lecturer.. Actually have friends in classes now which is always a plus...

Have to say... i do kinda like marketing and operations management..or maybe its just cause we have good lecturers for that.. And..ooh!!! 1st case study for operations management... Mutiara Resort Penang, Malaysia.. Man... you should have seen my face when i found out it was mutiara we were studying about..the smirk on my face... Way too easy!

The city is not bad... found 2 chinese restaurants, 1 good ass thai restaurant.. dont really need much more. Still waitin for some time to go shoppin!! cant wait.

Actually, have to definitely shop for a shirt tomorrow.. joined up with some business school competition!!! WOOT!! yea man... its on this insurance fund management company called friends provident.. pretty big in the UK! so yeah..have this briefing session on monday by the people from the company..full day event..actually missing my class to attend that..but it should be fun!

And whos in my group..well..let me show you who is our group leader!!


Kaevon Koozani... crazy persian... canadian..somewhat what not. He actually spent one year trying to be a power lifter..and im sure you could tell from the photo!Yeah..one of my first friends in my hall and he asked me to join his group..with other people from iran...turkey.. Bahrain.. Korea etc..

And ive been questioned quite a couple of times whats with the nick!!!

YES!! IM PLANNING TO STOP DRINKING...not forever of course...thats just plain stupid... but for the next 2 months till i get back to malaysia. Reason...dont know..just wanna see how it feels like not to have a hangover for 2 months maybe?

Besides...i know i will drink!! just found out where to get ZEN...the green tea liquer!!! which is amazing...not gonna tell you where though in case you decide to go buy it all out!!its a secret!

Been exercising a lot these days...badminton and basketball mainly. Its amazing.. badminton players here are pretty good...and basketball.. crazy nuts!! amazing shit... hope to improve my game!

Ooh...been you tubing heaps lately....mainly for some dance video from sytycd(if you dont know what it stands for obviously you havent had a decent conversation with me yet)..its so you think you can dance btw.. And yeah.. still really depressed that my favourite at the start of season 3 got kicked out ..and it wasnt her fault..everyone knows it... Apparently the story is like this.. she was sick..sent to hospital the day she was meant to perform.. she wanted to come out..she said she was alrite to perform but damn nigel said..due to liability...blah blah blah BS ...she cant.. and chuck her automatically in the bottom 3!! What you all didnt know was that..she was actually sent to the hospital the week b4 too!!! However..lots of people has lodge complaints(im not one of them..would have done so if i knew you could) that she wasnt voted into the bottom 3 and want some sort of compensation!!! The news is..she might just be allowed to come back next season..whether she wants to? I really hope so..cause i really think she can go all the way!!!

Its amazing watching dances man..it just brings joy to my life... And i actually went and google'd some of the season 2 sytycd contestants!.. Travis and Ivan are actually touring together to teach dance.. which is cool.. Alison and Travis are NOT together!! and random stuff like that..

Anyhoos..i have decided... in the next few weeks..to post lots of videos!!(just because i finally found out how to post them) of my favourite dance routines from sytycd and just dance in general!

For everyone in IH... well..just have to deal with your limited quota... either that or you can find someone with unlimited quota(names not given...go gather your own information on that)... but i assure you... you will not ... WILL NOT regret any of the dances i put on!!!..

And...here it is..the first one!!!

Have fun all!

Toshiba A60

100 Pounds!!! just to recover all my data...it was my fault for not backing it up to start of with...However... Computerwar.com.my needs to be blamed for giving me a USB 1.0 cable ... freaking 5 days to transfer my music..absolutely ridiculous...

So there it is...bye bye laptop..it was a fairly good 3 years...but we all knew the time would come for you to go to rest... didnt know it will come up with such a big bill though...

Was really frustrated....come on..its 100 pounds... Nevertheless, it was the photos that i was after....music... i could have handled without the music couz i could always start over again....photos..memories..now that only comes once in a life time...

So yeah..bye bye 100 pounds...bye bye shopping for a new suit... nuff sed....

GOLD COAST!!!



During the june break...me and 9 other people decided to go to gold coast..thought this was fun considering i have decided that i was leaving melbourne for good. But yeah..it was really really really fun...stayed at Chevron towers of renaisance..or something like that..really really nice place...for 50 per nite i think...smack in surfers paradise...5 mins walk from the beach...2 mins walk from all the shops..really good...


If you all didnt know by now..im not a fan of rides...dont sit them..dont even sit on cable cars..hahaha...phobia like never b4..so yeah..didnt go to dreamworld..i went to movie world though..couz it was cheaper....they had other sutff to do apart from rides as well.and of course i wanted to go to one of this worlds since im in gold coast..so might as well..i am proud to say that i actually took a ride..damn wild wild west..regret..so so so so scared..you can ask joe maylin and frances..but from the photo that joe took..it was the least scared..and joe..who was not scared at all..looked like he was shiting himself in the photo...role reversal i say!


Went shoppin at this place.was really nice..the shoppin malls are differnet from melbourne..much more open concept... nicer i reckon..you feel there is much more space and...comfortable..so yeah.bought some nice clothing...a nice jacket and all...


had the most burgers in my whole entire life throughout the trip..but i have to say..really nice!!! had batman burger....hardrock...zinger...bacon deluxe..HOOTERS..and went to this irish pub below our apartment...not once..but twice...couz their burgers were amazin...huge ass burger with chips for onli 10 bucks...trust me..it was amazin!!! really really nice!!! probably he best burgers i have had in my life!!!



I think most of all...apart from all the fun that i had during the trip..i still have to say..the best part of it is just a very simple thing..and that is just to sit..and talk..and laugh with my friends about the randomness topics ever...and that..i miss...i miss very very much indeed...

University Of Exeter

Well, just finished my 1st week of uni. Still cant believe i only have like...10 hours of classes. In comparison to the 20+ odd hours at melbourne, 10 hours seems achievable (to actually go to class). Actually made it to all of my classes this week...thats a good start i reckon....just 11 weeks more to go for the semester. Pretty sure lots of you were clueless when i said i was going to university of exeter...(what uni is that...is that even a uni you might ask)...well...its a pretty good one i have to say...ranked 17th right now in uk...pretty good considerin theres like..120+ unis in uk in total. Well, of course its no oxford, cambridge, UCL , warwick..but...let me say...we are better in the ranks compared to uni manchester, liverpool, nottingham...so yeah..pretty good indeed.


Apart from that...the campus is amazing...its really really beautiful. Actually, its apparently the most beautiful campus in uk!!! as mentioned by times which is the official ranking of unis over here.
Theres quite a difference in the unis here compared to melbourne. One big fact is that ...99% of the uni students live on campus or just outside of it. This is because most of them are not from exeter themselves, and are either from different parts of england or international. This is diff from melb, as a lot of students still live at home in the suburbs or random places like..mornington even.


Living in a residential hall at the moment. Its basicaly the same as IH except there are no activities like oweek, national nite, cafe , sports etc. The reason for this is because all activities are held in uni itself, by their clubs and societies. My room is pretty nice i have to say...ensuite room...double bed(not like im gonna get any action..but still..spacious) and the food is generally quite nice over here...and they serve different stuff everyday so thats always a plus...had salmon steak d other day which was really good actually.Only downside is that they only serve rice about..once or twice a week max...so yeah...Ooh...also..did i mention..that there is only 4 asians in total over here!!!! 4!!!! out of 400!!!....never been so out of placed before..thats ...1 : 100 ratio man!!


ooh..just to make all the IHers jealous...there unlimited quota here ..and even though torrents are blocked..online tv is still available...beat that mofo's..



Another thing i love about my residential halls...the view from the courtyard is amazing...couz the uni is on a huge hill...and my hall is basicaly at the peak of the hill..it overlooks some mountains..and the whole city..dont believe me..just look at the photos below..thats the view i get everyday..every single day..well...today was just a better day couz the sun was actually out..most of time its just gloomy...still..the view is amazing..just being able to see it everyday is really refreshing..!!!



Holland hall (residential hall) from the courtyard


The view from the balcony..or the courtyard..facing the mountains to the right!


And the view of the city to the left


Just a general view...couldnt take the whole view couz my camera lens was not wide enuff


Just in case you guys think that the view is fake...this is the view..with the hall on my right...as im standing on the balcony of the courtyard!!!


I actually like it over here in the sense that there are people from all over the world. In melbourne...when you say overseas student...its 80% asians im guesing. Over here..its the other day around..20% asians max our of the 1000 international students they have here...Most of the international students here are mostly europeans. Met quite a few french, greeks, irish, scottish, turkish, swedish, swiss,germains, italians, spaniards etc...so yeah..its really good in the sense that you get to meet people from all over the world.


Classes here are actually not too bad. Apart from one of my subject, statistics and econometrics...the lecturers are generally really good...interesting...funny etc. Come on...the fact that i didnt fall asleep ..or even thought of falling asleep is not too bad man....esp marketing..the lecturer is actually really energetic and all. Bad thing though...no tutes...no online lecture..man you have to concentrate in lectures thats for sure. And the assignments here are apparently more harder.Just like my marketing project...10000 words...only worth 15 percent..whats the deal..what happened to all those 2000 words intro micro assignments which were worth 15 percent. Well, apparently education here is based around self learning..so thats why there arent tutes for all subjects.. your meant to research and study yourself....*GULP*and apparently...they ask you to be innovative..basicaly...the lecturers say that you can get a 2nd class or h2B if you stick to the theory but the only way to get really high marks...distinction is when you challenge/criticize the theories and come out with your own one...basicaly..bullshit your way throgh...


Clubs and societies here are very interesting...really happening..they often have club socials where you all go as a group to a club...or anything like that..and the place is booked out just by the club...not too bad. Joined basketball and badminton(not gonna bother with football..couz i know ill get kicked in the arse)but..basketball and badminton is pretty tough man..did you know that badminton was originated from england...so yeah.they have really good players over here..dont even know whether i can make the 2nd team. As for basketball..dont even think i can get 2nd team...man these european players are pretty good..esp the ones from serbia and turkey...dunkin all over the place man...


Generally ...all is good. library is open 24 hours a day everyday...so yeah..if i do decide to study..thats always a place i can go to. Shit...did i mention..theres a bar in every...200 meters(literally)even my hall has a bar...not like ih bar..but a bar bar..decent bar with like..8 different beers on tap and stuff liek that...and i thought aussies were drinkers....over here.its a whole different level...im not even close to them man..ridiculous...just saw a bunch of my floormates...finishing up a double centurion....DOUBLE CENTURION...2 shots of beer a minute for 100 minutes!!! what the hell man..and all of them pulled through..ok..they are really drunk right now...but still..mahai!!!


What else is there to say about my uni..all is going well i suppose...of course i do miss melbourne..miss IH and everyone in it...miss all my friends...miss chinatown..red silk....desset house(spicy chicken with rice in particular)..but life here aint all that bad..its actually pretty good i have to say... Random note..actually lost some weight..think its all the sports ive been playing...that and actually walking to uni...ooh...downside...its a 10 minutes downhill walk to my business school but a massive 15 minute uphill walk...really uphill...like..walking from jln telawi in bangsar up to...bangsar shoppin centre..so yeah...good work out!!


Thats it for now i guess...headed to gym for a workout with my friends..and off to the bar!!!!

Pedophile

No im not one!!!

Just that...always when i say someone like hillary duff is hot everyone is like...man you pedophile... Dont really get the concept of it though... couz technically they are the same age as me or just a year or 2 younger than me... kinda the type of age my future wife would be right? But i still dont get it though...

Think about it... we should be checking out girls our age right? And not much of people who are 10 years older than us or more like..angelina jolie etc... Couz technically when im 30 ..they will be 40 and not that hot anymore... even more so couz they are caucasians (no racist implications) but its quite true..though generalizing...caucasians tend to look hot when they are young but they tend to age faster than..asians? Wrinkles and stuff can be seen at an early age..

Ok..realised im going outta topic...so yeah..coming back to the point which i every so often get out of...its okay to check out girls our age and think they are hot!!! and for women who are older than me..its okay too couz thats when you picture yourself in 10 years time marrying someone as hot as her..

Its not okay...when you are 50 and you are checking women the age of 18 or so..well..not quite women..more like..teenage girls..

Where am i going with this you may ask...well..just thought of putting up a small like of hot teenage girls my age...and most probably your age as well!!!

And here it goes...in no particular order!!!



1)Hayden Panettiere..
Now if you think that name sounds familiar and think you might have seen her from somewhere b4...keep thinking...shes from HEROES!!! If you actually needed time to think of where shes from..your either dont watch heroes or your just plain dumb...i think shes hot...like..hot hot hot...




2)Amanda Bynes
Bet all of you are thinkin ...why do you think this tomboy is hot...well..just watch She's the man and you will know why.. Trust me..its a funny show... i didnt wanna watch it at first but my sis forced me too and we ended up laughin our arse off...she is funny ass hell..and i think shes quite hot too... ah well..my opinion anyways...





3)Vanessa Anne Hudgens
Well, if you are hoping to see her naked photos..too bad...not going to post them..have seen em though... No comments...hahaha...but yeah..think she is sweet and hot...just watch High school musical..yet another fun show...brings back good times on good 'musical' movies like grease etc...




4)Last but not least...and of course i have to mention her...hillary duff...hahaha..i dont care...to all the lindsay lovers out there..just take a look at lindsay now..totally bad influence..smoking crack and shit..hahaha..even though she just got out of rehab (amy winehouse's song is stuck in my head by the mere mention of that word)...anyways...always liked hillary..always will..unless she joins any paris&co like fraternities...


So there you have it..im pretty sure there are other hot...'same age' women out there..but these are the 4 that just came up when i was writting this..so yeah...hahhaa...views anyone?
