Happy Chinese 牛 Year

Wohoo...It's Chinese New Year again. Kinda lucky this year cause i finished my exam the week before CNY and i don't have class on the week of CNY. But what a pity, cannot go back to celebrate it in Malaysia. Anyway, i went to Rennes on Friday and had a celebration with other malaysian friends there(although there were only 2 chineses LOL), had a great time.

Since i know everyone is busy collecting Ang Pau, so i also don't want to write too long and waste your time ^^


祝你2009年牛年旺返
牛转乾坤 鼠气全消

宅

突然发现现在的我有倾向宅男的现象。Oh No!!!

“宅男”这个词是看我猜学来的，上我猜的宅男们个个怪的怪，邋遢的邋遢，傻的傻，还被吴忠宪羞辱。但那些已经是“level宅” 100 了，我还没有宅到那个地步。但难道有一天我会跟他们一样？靠，不敢想象。。。

为什么我会有这样一个发现？因为我具备几项宅男特点：
× 除了上课和周末去超市，很少踏出家门一步
× 不出门干什么？上网，看偶像剧，动画（除了偶尔读读书）
× 可以一整天呆在电脑前

其实我也不想当宅男，但在Laval出门也不知道干什么，而且外面又那么冷。
在家不干宅男干的事也不知道要干什么，所以我是被形势所逼。

我想我只能一直唱周董的“阳光宅男”来祈祷不会宅过头

你也是宅族吗？

P.S:由于不知道怎么翻译宅男，所以只能用中文写

I need SSI spirit!!!

Sometimes, when i think back, i wonder how i managed to study so much when i was in SSI. I remembered 1 month before SPM everyone was already "piah" like hell and i think i faced my books at least 10 hours a day. I don't know how many times i have run over the three 400+ page Fokus Physics, Biology and Chemistry. And how many essays in Chinese, English and BM I've written to improve my writing skills. How i managed to memorize those moral values with definitions without losing 1 word. Hundreds of mathematics exercises, 名句精华 etc. I'm really amazed by the amount of work that i've done to prepare my SPM. And lucky enough, i've got the result that i wished(Except 1119 which is a shame to me, but nvm, i don't use English nowadays lol).

Then when i look at myself now, i think i really have become a lot more lazier, well maybe not lazier, but just have lost the motivation that keep me study. First, there's no more goal like getting straight 1As or getting the JPA scholarship. You pass the exam and you pass your year and finally you graduate. I wouldn't say it's very easy to pass an exam in ESTACA, since I've already failed three papers before, but if I do my homework correctly and revise a minimum, i can still pass(touch wood, don't 好的不灵坏的灵).

Then, there's no more SSI's "kiasu" spirit. In SSI, you would wanna study when you see the others study. You feel guilty when you see the others are studying while you are fooling around, so what you do is you also follow them to study. And since there's a ranking of exam results, if you wanna get into top 10 then you need to study. But now, i don't really care about it, 'cause there is no ranking, so as long as i pass I'm happy already.

Last time in SSI, for my case, if I study hard i could always get the wanted result, but this is not the case in ESTACA. You can study very hard but there can be unexpected questions in the exams which you can never think of it. As a result, my heart also gets cold as time goes. I know that I'm no more in secondary school where everything follows the syllabus, in an engineering school like mine, as one of the heads in ESTACA said before, they want to form quality engineer and not engineer who can only recopy resolution method, so there are always unexpected questions which require reflexion.

Internet is the pricipal criminal. In secondary school time i didn't have my personal computer, and no broadband like i have today. It's really hard to study with my computer beside, but I've a very bad habit that is whenever I'm awake at home, my computer is always on, if you don't believe, you can see that my MSN and YM are signed in most of the time. What facebook la, blog la, youtube la, youkou la, these rubbish make me pass a lot of time in front of my PC rather than my books. Like now I've wasted another half an hour on this thing...

How to peel a banana

What a smart idea to make people laugh, but not to peel a banana, nobody would dare to eat LOL =p

Cold!

It has been very cold since last week in France, or maybe in Europe. Today, school reopens, when i stepped on the road in the morning, the road was frozen. It's super dangerous to drive in such condition, so Renaud gotta drive more slowly(i go to school in his car). We have had the car gliding on a little slope when he braked last time, it wasn't fun at all, unless u like drifting.

Afternoon, still very cold, 0°C at least, and it snowed in Laval, which is a real rare case. But it didn't last for long time, and the snow melted once touching the ground, the ground is now wet and with the temperature that we have now, i think i can ice-skate to school tomorrow morning =p

The temperature outside make me lazy to go out, i feel good to be at home with my heater on, but at the end of the month when i see my electricity bill, i'll cry :'(

Happy 2009

New year has come, just have to admit that time passes really fast.

Had a little celebration last night with my fellow Malaysians in Laval. We went for dinner in a Japanese restaurant and we had some fireworks in the cold new year night. Luckily I'm not alone in Laval this year, or else it will be a lonely New Year which i have escaped by going to Toulouse last year.

Some people ask me what is my new year resolution, I've never thought of this, and i don't think I'm gonna think of it. 'Cause for me New Year day is just like the other days in a year, so there is no need to set what new year resolution. I just do what i think i need to do or what i wanna do. But this is just my opinion, I'm sure that these resolutions must have their own meaning to those who set them every year.

I take this opportunity to wish my family and all my friends Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you in 2009 :D

A wonderful ski tripWonderful moment

Wonderful moment always passes very fast. Our short ski trip has come to an end so quickly and suddenly. Kinda sad 2 say bye to Lik, Kaya and Daniel after this trip, 'cause dunno know when can we meet again and i gotta get back to work. The pleasure of meeting secondary schoolmate in France is really great. And guess what, we even met Julian, Benedict, Renhan and others on the 1st da in Paris, what a coincident isn't. Of course it's time to show off my French.

Day 1:
I took Lik and kaya around Paris since Daniel only arrived on the 2nd day, sorry for him 'cause he needed to skip class to join us. After checking in our hotel, it was already a bit late. We went to Arc de Triomphe and dat's where we met Benedict and others. We had dinner together and there we seperated since they were tired and wanted to go back to hotel instead of Eiffel Tower, our next destination. Eiffel was nice that night, blue in colour, of course, we took lotsa photos of it. But g up Eiffel with em wasn't romantic at all, LOL!
To save money, i've booked a hotel near Saint Denis, which is a bit far from the centre of Paris, 2nd last station by Metro line 13. Lol, my sense of direction isn't that good at night, so we kinda got lost in the way back to hotel after visiting Eiffel Tower. But luckily we reached the hotel safely at last.

Day 2:
We've got limited time in Paris 'cause we were going to set off to Bourg Saint Maurice that afternoon after Daniel's arrival. So we woke up early in the morning to get some time to visit the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur. Me myself i haven't visited the place b4, so i was a "discovering tour guide", lol. There was a gang of african guys in front of the Basilique, offering to tourists colour bands. If you go there next time, don't accept it, or else they'll ask you for money for the worthless bands. Of course we were smart enough to reject it, but i think if i were not there, Alik might get cheated, lol.The journey to Bourg Saint Maurice was kinda long, it took more than half a day. Poor Daniel gotta sit in the train for 1 whole day. Finally arrived in Bourg Saint Maurice, but a very funny incident happened.

The train stopped. (Alik sleeping)
Me : Daniel, what time the train arrives?
Dann : 8.20 gua...(A while later)How come the train is reversing?
Me : Changing direction? That's y it takes so long time.
A guy came. "Gentlemen, you have arrived."
Me : "What? arrived? But it's moving now, dont't tell me it' heading to the next destination!!!"
Luckily it was not, it's only heading to the train parking at the station. Fuf...Lucky...
I found a vrvr cheap hotel in Bourg Saint Maurice, of course, a bit far, around 1km from the train station. What to do? Walk lor. The others were complaining of course. Weren't you? Heh?

After settling down, super hungry, DINNER!!!
Have you tried sweating in -3°C? You will when you just have a snow war, haha.

Day 3:
Alik woke every1 up, 'cause he couldn't sleep. LOL...But suddenly,
Kaya : Soon Lee, you come and see if i got fever.
WTF, don't joke man, 1st day of ski n you got fever? But finally he managed to go ski with us, luckily. So the ski lessons started for Dann n Kaya. Unluckily, there was no green piste in Les ARC. So there were forced to practice in blue piste. For your info, the piste levels are green - blue - red - black.
At night, the other 3 felt pain all over the body, Kaya and Dann understandable lar, kept falling ma. Alik 你凑什么热闹?Scenery outside our hotel room.

Day 4:
Christmas day. It was snowing in the morning, and it was my 1st white Christmas. Me and lik decided to go to discover ARC 1800(1800 m). We found an ideal place for Dann and Kaya to practice. So here we go.
Cool!!!Alik said this photo got feeling??
Nice food after ski!!

Day 5:Wei, even if we're in France, don't do this in the puclic ler...

Last day of ski, Dann can already do "S" in the blue piste, but Kaya, u really need to Gambatte ler, haha, don't worry, next ski trip will be better. Me and Lik decided to challenge ARC 2000. The weather on top of the mountain was really extreme. The wind was strong and it was damned cold. We arrived at ARC 2000 but we didn't make up to the top 'cause the weather condition was really unbearable. I found great improvement in my skiing skill 'cause i didn't fall even once on the way down from ARC 2000. Tired, we stopped there ended this very fun ski trip.
We took night train to go back Paris. But before this, we had a buffet dinner. We have wanted to eat this since the 1st day but it was closed for Christmas. Luckily it was opened that day, or else we would break the its glasses.

Day 6:
Visited the damned cold Paris with our luggage and bags. Notre Dame - KFC - Louvre - Champs Elysées.Air SoonLee. Alik ur shooting skill not bad har.

And finally "Au revoir" to every1. 天下无不散之宴席, hope to see you guys again soon.
