Death by Hiatus

Spelling out what happened to this little space of mine in the vast net above, i'm compelled to write once more as life can really fill u to the brim especially with all sorts of nastiness. And though whatever i suffer from as a young adult cannot be compared to what the Japanese are facing right now due to the recent 8.9 quake, life isn't about who has the biggest problem but more about how the individuals' life goes on with it... no?

 Life is full of 'tsunamis', it just doesn't destroy houses, cars and properties. It just ruins lives one way or another in different 'magnitudes'.

Right, so i'm graduating in about 3 weeks but there is much to bear from the final of final exam papers to the elusive final year project thesis. A grand 3 course, eat-in only graduation meal to satisfy nothing else but the corporate world. Why are people working so hard for? One character says it all, $. Whoever who thinks money can't buy happiness probably has too much money to spend, or they live in a place where things are dirt cheap.

 Money not making u happy? U probably have too many of these that u don't notice...

One of the worst mistake a person can do in his/her life is to choose the wrong course to pursue for tertiary studies. Not only do u end up working on some of the things u'd hate, u get friends who couldn't ring with the same frequency as u do for your college life (which is supposed to be the best period of our lives?). Bummer much... And from all that downward spiral, hopefully there's still hope for the dreams and interests i had which didn't stand a chance due to FINANCIAL roadblocks. Capitalized as it carries so much meaning and dimmed so many possible futures. Reminds me of a lady who cried, pleaded and accused when the crew and Fly FM couldn't give her the chance to win a bundle of cash as she failed to do something.

Working would be certainly interesting for me at the very least considering how i don't have to go sit through classes in which everything seems like rocket science. It doesn't help having a dear professor who couldn't speak loud enough, or a lecturer holding a doctorate who is too ignorant to make sure the class doesn't start and end with him/her reading lecture slides only.

 Upcoming iPhone app. Check it out in your app store soon.

Relationships are such complicated issues, even when u scale it all down to just friends. U try to be the best there is and they can't be the same, or they think u're trying to buy their hearts over something. Or they prefer being all buddy buddy with their ol' housemates and shut the entire world from themselves. The worst would probably be those that come to u like a friendly dog wagging its tail and running with u wherever u go, and when things are so great, u share your heart's burden, it runs away. When politely u approach it again, it treats u like a stranger. Man, even animals aren't THAT heartless. Am so going get a dog who deserves such attention. Maybe some hamsters, fishes and plants too.

Beagles are awesome, period.

I'm contemplating whether to get people to read this blog of mine. So that i can get feedback, and perhaps share some views with the many intellectuals out there. But the lack of  attractive graphic content and happy words might seem to be deterrent. Perhaps when i really have readers do i start with the garnishing of the 'dish'? I hope the makeover for the layout of the blog is good enough to start things off...

That's about it for the first post in almost 2 years, do spam me with those comments itching to fill this space ya. Signing off~

Hope & Perseverence

Hope...
Deep under heaven,
where no sun may shine,
a light has brightnened the dark..
Believe it..

Myu-jikaru Kokugen

Mamosuke and Hisano were a loving couple who have been together for a very long time. However their love was put to the test when Mamosuke and his family were pursued by loan sharks due to his father’s overdue debts. To protect Hisano and their love, Mamosuke told her that they both needed some time apart to think about their future. As he left her without any further explanation of his sudden decision, she had an emotional breakdown. Hisano’s love for him was so deep that her life almost depended on it.

Since his absence, her only consolation was the music box that Mamosuke gave her during their 8th anniversary as a couple, which played a tune soothing enough to help her go through life without him. Tragedy befell when Hisano got into an accident as a car ran into her one day when she was traveling back from class. In her critical condition, she requested her parents to automatically play the music box in her ward as she was too frail to move.

According to the doctor, Hisano couldn’t survive physically but was kept alive due to her will to live. As she rested almost motionless everyday on the hospital bed, the music box played everyday at two in the afternoon and consecutively every four hours. She wanted the timing to be so as Mamosuke used to call her during those times when they were still seeing each other.

Weeks and months passed, Hisano waited patiently but he never returned. Unfortunately, ‘Death’ took her away not long after that as her body failed to keep up with her determined soul. Mamosuke returned to an empty hospital bed in Hisano’s ward, a day after she passed away. His heart was shattered, as the love he tried to protect was taken away by fate. As he left the room, a familiar tune struck him. He checked the ceiling clock and it was 2 p.m. Then at the corner of the room, he found the remnant of their love which is not meant to be. It was his music box to her playing its last requiem.

Mamosuke found out from her parents about how Hisano waited for him everyday on her death bed while listening to the timed music box. Emotions hit him like a wave but he was too late. During her funeral, he left the cherished music box on her grave but never forgetting the sweet memories they shared.


(And the perfect tune for the musical box shall be...)

To Zanarkand... Enjoy~

Alien?

It's been a while since I've been wondering what it would feel like to be normal.. Being some what different than people around you can take it's toll at times when you don't know whether you're alone out in the world. There's also the option of exploring the possibilities of whether they are one of us.. Yet there's the risk.. We're so vulnerable yet we chose not to be part of the majority. Why? Are we made that way or it's a matter of choice?

Is there anyone else out there like me?

Procrastination Strikes Back! o.o

I'm finally giving up in trying to capture every single moment of my life here.. It's WAY too difficult (maybe I just don't have that discipline) for me to either post here often or always trying to recall what happened whenever i make a super late post (now for instance, after abandoning my blog for almost a month?)

For my dear readers (if there's even any out there :P), i deeply apologize for being such a lazy procrastinator when it comes to updating my blog. Not that my life has been a monotonous tune, it's just that i'm looking for another way to present my blog. Instead of just posting smart/deep/emotional/philosophical/utterly-spam posts, i'm seeking a more unique approach. Main reason to be considered is that updating my blog wouldnt be as tedious as writing essays here.

Well of course, the 1st and so far, the only thing i can think of now is a photo blog.
80% photo, 20% words...

Hm.. I wonder how tat wud work out.. Anyhow here's some randoms of my life so far... Enjoy!

Yap and his trademark pose, lol! =D

Monkey madness! Guess where this is?

This is so randomly-rare that I believe it's pic-worthy, haha.. Can't recall where tho, anyone?

Xmas deco at 1 utama was great, which I saw during new-year's eve.. Too bad didn't take some upclose pics :(

Lulz, Yap once again with the T-shirt we got him for his 21st birthday.. Check out the wordings ^^ Want one?

My lil' nephew was up to his usual mischief before i snapped this candid pic as he shyly runs away :P

Recent products of the dog-breeding-fiesta happening right in front of my 2nd home at Kajang... These pups would be adorable if they weren't strays, ah well...

And now i retire to information-cramming, with hopes of returning here soon!

28 Days Later...

28 Days later.. (sounds familiar no? Click here) Almost a month since my last post, I can see that my blog a bit "fat mou" (a term for rotting in Cantonese) Alas, I've finally drawn enough strength to get me out of my extreme laziness to freshen up this place. Recalling where I stopped, my year 2008 ended with quite a blast! First off was Christmas Nite 2008 which is an annual musical event held by my uni's Christian Fellowship TECHFLOW, and it was a great success.

The cool poster by our dear Publicity Director, Phoebe!

This time I get to watch the entire production for the 2nd time as a secretary of the event, compared to last year as I was part of the cast (who needs to wait around half a year to see the musical, lol) After the whole 'hoo-hah', I skipped the post-celebrations as due to dead-tiredness (stood for the whole 3 hours of the event, and plenty of walking with chit-chatting can take out a lot from you) =P

And then Christmas came on a Thursday, me and my highschool pals went over to Jia Yee's place for a little gathering (which indirectly celebrates her birthday as it is due in 2 days) Food was home-made, thanks to Jia Yee's culinary skills as she prepared pasta, a great sauce to go with it, pizza and the classic garlic bread (which tasted better than Pizza Hut, seriously)

December was so filled with holidays that I felt like having a real semester break. During New Year's Eve, I managed to successfully planned a gathering for my highschool pals once again (sadly my uni buddies couldn't make it T.T) Booked FOURTEEN tickets for the movie Bedtime Stories at GSC and had a table for 10 at Itallianies. After all the commotion to get everyone due to jams here and there, by God's grace all made it to dinner =D

First time in Itallianies was rather pleasant, though the food wasn't too great as the portions were moderate as we shared everything we ordered due to its pricey-ness. We had a lot servings of their free appetizer breads though, so most of us didn't complain not having enough. When movie time came, I recalled being unable to pay the lump sum when collecting the tickets at the booking counter. Didn't I expect the price to be more than 150 bucks, the cashier had me unprepared with that long stub of tickets.. I quickly resorted to calling one of friends, but ended up the whole gang came to save the day, woots~

Notice Bugsy the hamster?

The only thing that's interesting in this movie is the hamster, plot's rather predictable (happy endings where the protagonists live happily ever after, typical Disney movie ending) Adam Sandler was a tad little funny (I think Rob Schneider can do better than him, just that he doesn't look fatherly). Loved the Ferrari, chick was hot, but didn't feel magical. Probably I'm getting old, sigh..

Timing was great as we had only an hour and a half's time before the fireworks spectacle...

*** To be continued, lol***

The 99 Club

Taken from a very apt article depicting the rat race that all of us are involved in our daily lives. Please read the following and if you happen to be a member of this "Elite Club", then quit it today itself and give an opportunity to happiness and peace of mind to enter your life. It's truly worth trying. =)

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious
lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he
worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the
Land is unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The
King asked the servant, 'Why are you so happy?'

The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.'

The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought
the advice of his most trusted advisor.

After hearing the King's woes and the servant's' story, the advisor
said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of the 99 Club.'

'The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?' the King inquired.

The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly know what the 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep.'

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. Then when he opened
the bag, he let out a great shout of joy, 'So many gold coins!'.

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced
that there were 99 coins. He wondered, 'What could've happened to that
last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!' He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined the 99 Club..'

He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute
we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.

That's the 99 club.

A Series of Not-So-Unfortunate Events

Much has happened since I last posted on what I've been going through. Stress is in the air with finals approaching, and now that my tests have just ended, it's just the beginning of a nightmare. Oh well, at least life wasn't too disappointing. Last week I celebrated my sister's birthday at home and when I arrived home after a torturing 2 hour jam in KL, the day's surprise was already on the table...

Mum's homemade "Pandan Layer Fruit Cake"!

I was like.. lol?.. Then my mum explained that since my sis already had two cakes the day before (that day was her belated birthday), so she came up with something special. Nice try mum! =P

Then on Saturday night I attended the 40th Anniversary Dinner of the Lions Club of KL Central held at the Royale Bintang Hotel, KL (near Times Square).

Stage backdrop..

The event was a success and me and my fellow Leo friends who helped out during the event celebrated together with the organizing Lions. We were treated to some whisky which gave me a total blood rush with my first sip. It was then I realised that I had it "on-the-rock" and the liquor was actually quite strong, making me feel a sudden rush of liquid in my head @_@

What we had during the pre-celebration..

Well I wasn't drunk but was later told that my face was flushed red when we exited the hotel. The night was still young, so me and my Leo friends were then brought to a near by pub/bar named Oasis where we had more liquor, mostly brought by one of the Lions. We talked loads of crap, played some drinking game, sang, had supper, etc.. and I finally reached home at 4am, woots.. So much for an adult hang-out experience I suppose. Then again I enjoyed the night and really thank them for it =)

When I was on my way back to campus, I came across some cute vehicles towing an interesting load as they paraded on the highway unexpectedly.

The Snickers Road Cruisers!

After that episode of unique advertisement, I reached campus and it was all about studying for my last test before the finals. Classes were few but still went on as lecturers tried to wrap up the syllabuses. The gang seemed more tense day by day, ah the sad-ness.. But during one of my classes I stumbled upon what seemed to be like the remnants of student rampage..

Pity the projector head to have suffered this cruel fate..

Due to that, we shifted class and continued lectures as usual. After that I proceeded to one of the hang out places (Techflow room) in my campus for a little revision in preparation for my test. Unfortunately, the disturb-bug got me and I started to.. disturb, hoho.. And here are my victims..

Jo-chan, who's feeling sleepy after lunch ^^"

Panda-san who just wouldn't let me have a proper picture, tsk tsk.. =S (had to use "burst mode" to get one picture that can be used out of ten!)

Studies continued as usual, and when my test was finally over yesterday, I found myself getting back to square one as I had to start preparing for the looming finals (which is next week T.T). So what can I say? I wish there's no exams, hohoho... Oh, how I wish, wish, wish~ Now let's proceed to this much anticipated part!

Randoms~

Yes, I've gotten some pretty cool and blog-worthy pictures along the way.. =D

Look, look! The spirit of Free Hugs still lives on!

Introducing my "si fu" when it comes to being a real man/friend, Yap-dono! And here you are lucky to witness him striking the Rejuvenating Pose! XD

Here is the Japanese Expert of the gang, Rey-sama who apparently was feeling shy so he had to put the shades on while expressing his cool hand gestures ^^

So what happens when everyone is so pressured with exams and feeling all down? Here's a few tips..

We try to comfort each other in anyway we can.. Aw..

Or you can send messages of inspiration/motivation like what I got here from Panda-san.. You're so "sweet"! Hahahahaha...

Or you can unleash your hidden powers by splitting yourself to the amount needed to reduce the stress, like what Alex is doing here! (three heads are better than one rite?)

And you can teach another to do the same just for lulz.. Here we have Ivor(s) trying out the Kage-Bunshin-no-Jutsu (Shadow Clones Technique)!

Or you can just sit on a comfy chair under the air-conditioning and just snooze away~

And last but not least, you can always resort to the easiest way to relieve yourself of troubled feelings or exam anxieties..

Just run to that great friend of yours, and he or she would always know how to make you smile (or LoL in this case) like how William tries to put that smile on your face! =3

As always, that's all for now.. Do enjoy your week and wish me luck for the coming exams.. Cheers and this is KeLv signing off~

Stranger than Fiction?

Not too long ago, I've treated myself to a movie that is rather inspiring...

Stranger than Fiction (2006)

Had it in my pc for quite some time and finally had the time to watch it. Can't believe I had actually neglected such an interesting movie, silly me. Well in a nutshell, the movie's about a man named Harold Crick who realizes his life is being literary written as he woke up one fine day. As an auditor, being a compulsive counter and an obsessive time-saver had never been more interesting when he begins to hear someone narrating his life to him. The show goes on until the writer decides to end the novel (featuring a Harold Crick) by killing him. Rather difficult to put it in words how that's going to happen, so I recommend you watching the movie. =)

What caught my attention is how the writer finds inspiration in the movie. She's portrayed as a person who needs to feel and see what she's about to write about. For example, when she needed to kill Harold Crick in her novel, she went to different situations, different heights in such that she could feel/see how it would be like to jump off a tall building. She puts herself in the shoes of the character she is killing off and imagines it before judging if the cruel fate she's deciding for the character made any sense or had any impact. What could be better than a beautiful death?

It seems that writing a good story/novel is not all about sitting in front of a type writer or a piece of paper and just write what ever that comes to your mind that's related to the story. Feeling what the story describes, experiencing it first hand.. It all made sense. For instance, how could one describe the rain in detail if he had never tried feeling the rain falling on him, it's pressure, drenching himself in it, feel it trickle down his body, listening to the harmony of water falling from the sky.. I mean, wow, to what extent did great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, Jeffrey Archer, Dan Brown, etc.. ever go to tell their story with such depth I wonder. And the amount of credit that certain writers get seemed rather little despite the effort they put in their work.

I believe people these days are more absorbed into money making that they have been blinded to such amazement. Why do parents want their kids to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, businessmen, etc? Because they believe these are the kind of future that guarantees the cash coming in to support one's family/life. As the coming generations become more and more tied down to this sad fact, will the beauty of literature, art of poetry, masters of story-telling dwindle and eventually reach death due to ignorance as it doesn't make that much money? I'm certainly pained by this fact, more when I do not have the oppurtunity to pursue this field which seemed more meaningful to me.

Ah well, as an acquaintance of mine has once told me, you can't change anything by just saying it (or even writing about it for this matter). Actions speaks louder than words indeed. The journey I need to embark to be part of this love in the art of written works seems like fantasy (building castles in the air?) and rather unlikely when I'm done with my current studies for engineering. However, I do hope this would remind me what I've always wanted to do, and also plan to do (or at least always dreaming/thought of doing).. Wish me luck! =)

Now, back to more reading and watching (while being mesmerized/impressed in the process) like all of us do~

Crumbling Spirit

Current status:

No inspiration..

Head filled with lotsa "dunno"s..

And I have finally succumbed to being this...

Emo..

And what I seriously need at the moment...

Free hugs anyone?

Me being wishful, haha.. signing off~

College Kid

Macho? So what?

It's rather sad to face the fact that as we grow up, we need to be more independent. Seems that it applies even more to guys, being independent, able to live through hardships alone. I wonder why we are made that way.. or the better question would be, why do we (as guys) have to live that way? Is it a norm set by our ancestors? The significance of this rule baffles me..

Is it a MUST for guys to settle any problems by themselves?

This makes the dream of being a child again so tempting. Going back to high school again seems to be so fun right now compared to the time when I actually should be attending. When college seems like a luxury then, it's part hell now! So very the ironic, haha..

Ah, well as I'm used to this stick-to-friend thing, the days of college life ain't so fine and dandy anymore. And what shall I resort to.. (any advice?) Hm.. Check this out for those experiencing the same thing =)

How long can you hang on to a friend?

Anyways, today me and my beloved buddies went for a movie after a long hiatus of going-out-for-fun. Watched Flight of the Living Dead, a horror movie which managed to end up with us laughing as we left the cinema. It's funny how horror movies tend to fail in being scary these days. Or is it just us being old enough to be able to see through all that acting? Explains why our parents always think horror movies are crappy XD

The movie is not worth a review since I noticed a lot of "fake" stuff throughout the movie. At the very least it's not boring or a drag. All in all, a mild roller-coaster ride that wouldn't be fun without your friends around to laugh along with you =)

Hm.. I've been planning to do some "gotong-royong" to tidy up the garden in front of my second home. Sadly, I can't seem to get myself up to do it in the morning =(

Now I would like to pray it actually happens tomorrow! =P

The house has been quite lately, probably due to the exam stress since finals is in less than a month's time. Life is so much better if exams never existed. With no competition, studying wouldn't be a hassle I suppose.

"You wish!"
I'll have to remind myself about the rough reality that I'm living in.

So much for another post, nothing much inspiring me these days. Even nothing picture worthy! Pity.. KeLv signs off for now~

History Made, Lives Changed

FINALLY the post on the 1st Free Hugs Campaign in both UNITEN and my life is here! And to make things more simple and clean (hence the blog name), here's the video that pretty much sums up all that we have done throughout the 3 day campaign held all over the campus. Enjoy the following video! (and please do not hesitate to leave a comment =D)

The First Free Hugs Campaign in UNITEN!

Credit goes to my dear friend/housemate/group member, Eng Hong a.k.a Mr Panda (who happened to feature in the sneak preview posted long ago) for the amazing video and also this LINK for the collection of all the photos that we have taken during the entire campaign.

Well, since pictures speak a thousand words, I believe there's no need for elaboration after you have seen the video and also checked out the gallery of photos in the link above. All I can say is that it's been a great experience as I believed lives have been touched (I'm hoping for the best!) and I get to be part of the pioneers of this event in my campus.

Something that started out as a joke, turned out successfully despite all the ups and down we went through together as a group.. what is there not to be so proud of? Haha.. Not trying to boast here, but just want to encourage anyone to carry out this free hugs campaign in other places as it is really meaningful and a worthwhile experience. With plenty of free will, determination, enthusiasm and love, I choose to believe in the impossible =)

I would like to thank all my friends and group members who has been involved in this campaign together with me for all the cooperation and job well done! Love you guys and may we have more crazy-idea-turned-reality events in future! XD

Now I'm just praying that the coming presentation that me and my group is going to have this Friday is going to go smoothly and hopefully, we could convince our lecturer about our efforts as well. Would like to see this happen some where else, so that I can be the "customer" =P
Oh, it would also be interesting to see my juniors doing this in UNITEN again, huhu...

I guess that's all to it about this event that I've delayed so long to post. Hope you enjoy the video and the photos, God bless all of you out there and cheers to spreading the love!

Size Does Matter

Aren't they 'pwetty'? (Ew!!)

It rather baffles me why people, especially women, like to keep their fingernails long. Does it mean anything besides parading around with overgrown dead tissues on their hands? Are they just too lazy to trim it ("they" refer to those who started out this 'trend')? Or is it part of the style and glamor of having "beautiful" nails?

I myself find having long fingernails being a real hassle to life. Today itself was chaotic enough with them as..
- I hurt myself while trying to put my shoes on,

- had a hard time trying to sms since my handphone keypads are rather small,
- needed extra time getting my hands clean before and after meals,
- had my nails pressing on some other keys as I type out this post =.=

And here is..

ORBITUARY

The culprit(s)! (No, not the innocent monkey figurine =P)
?? August 2008 ~ 18 September 2008

The only reason I'm still stuck with them is that I do not own a nail clipper at my second home in Kajang. And when I'm home, there's always something else to distract me, so.. this post shall indirectly be the last record of my long nails, hoho.. Well, seriously.. men with long fingernails just ain't quite right. Look below!!

Hideous! (I used to see this on my high school men teachers -.-)

The popular long thumbnail, tsk tsk..

I'm not certain but long fingernails seem rather feminine to me. If you ask me for a positive description about them, I would say they portray elegance (and I'm being VERY positive here). So why? Please tell me the purpose. Convince me that this is OKAY. Or at least help me understand what they're trying to accomplish so I don't continue to stare at these people. This is a society! Note that I'm now referring to MEN keeping LONG FINGERNAILS. No offense to the males who like doing so tho.. just want a good reason =)

I wouldn't mind having long nails if they are these babies, hehe..

So much for a bad-fingernail-day.. Oh, I had my 2nd trip to FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia, for those who had been living under a rock.. http://www.frim.gov.my/) yesterday. It was quite fun with my housemates and a bunch of Techflow buddies, but not so much excitement as it's my 2nd time there.

We took off from our home at 5.55p.m and reaching at the rendezvous point at 6.10p.m, which was late as we were supposed to gather at 6p.m. However when we reached, we happened to be some of the earliest there as the other participants were following the "Malaysian time". Soon, everyone else arrived and followed by the bus by 6.30p.m.

I'm really surprised the bus was punctual, woots~

We took off in 15 minutes and I was in Shwe's car (she's the organizer) as she needed directions to the place since FRIM is located near my home at Kepong. The plan was to meet at a nearby shopping complex to have dinner, according to the bus driver. However when we (me, Shwe and a few others in the car) reached, the bus ended up at FRIM and the other participants had their dinner there. So as we reached there a little later, I was forced to finish my dinner in 5 minutes, sucks.. After that, we went in and had a little entourage visiting the toilet before going for an ice-breaking session called "Squirrel & Tree". While I was a "tree", Eng Hong a.k.a Mr. Panda-san was turned into a tall "squirrel". The session was quite funny, as sometimes the squirrels were ironically taller than the trees, lol..

After a short prayer, we were taken to the "entrance" of the forest and was linked to each other via a "rafia" string. Some had to put blindfolds on while others (like me) had to be "handcuffed". A total of 44 people train-ed into the forest and the nightwalk lasted an hour or so before we were released from our bonds. We took another two hours moving up and down the bumpy forest path while checking out neat stuff like glowing trees, fireflies and worms with glowing butts XD

The trip ended at around 1a.m. and we were stinking with sweat. I was rather dissapointed as we couldn't check out the canopy walk at night. The last time I came was during the day, so I had hopes of enjoying KL's night view from the top of the forest reserve. Too bad I suppose, but it was a great outing especially when the people you love are around you. Currently I do not have any pictures of the trip so do bear with me once again, huhu.. Will also go into more detail about all the stuff happening while we were traversing the forest =D

And after a long hiatus, these are back...

I just noticed my posting on the 'kempen pelukan percuma' isn't here yet. Apparently I'm busy and at the same time lazy to type it all out now. So, wait wait wait, hoho.. I'll stop here since having a quiz tomorrow and plenty of tests to prepare for soon. Thus said, (Team Rocket blasts off again!) KeLv signs off again~
