Mikhail was a great friend. I knew him since primary school. I was shocked when I heard that he passed away. I didn't know the exact details of his death. However, for those of you who are still unsure, here is the truth revealed in a blog by starranise.
The story.
Mikhail was someone who would joke with you anytime, anywhere. A great footballer, a cool guitarist, and most importantly, an irreplacable friend. I regret that I did not get to meet him for the last time.
Rest in peace Mik. Friends forever and you always live on in our memories.

I thank God that it was you
Since I've got nothing to do, I look at your smiling picture.
There is no lining up at the theater together anymore.
Even as a friend, I miss you. There would be no return for us.
When I realize that I am alone, real loneliness wells up and overflows.
I remember how precious the feeling of loving someone is. No matter how many times I move on, that voice and dream of yours won't leave me.
Time flows, but even when I have a new love, I would still think of you. The fate that brought us together and the warmth that we shared. I can really say from the bottom of my heart that I'm glad that it was you.
The future cant be stopped. It will come so fast that it's sad. Forever achieving happiness, getting hurt, all this happens when you love someone.
How long has it been? Many years have passed and why am I hurting so?
It's always been like this. It always had to be like this.
Why aren't you asking anything?
Do you think i can do well without you?
I know...the last thing I could ever do for you is to forget you.
I love you... I still thank you for everything and especially the memories.
I love you... I just wanted to tell you this~
If this farewell is the beginning of a new journey, I'll smile as much as I can for you...

Can I not look back? Can I just let go?

Right now, I'm in front you. I need to tell you what's in my mind.
The long wait...waiting for you. Isn't it dumb?

Wake me up when September comes~
Time seems to be passing really slowly. I can't wait for September. I can't wait to go to UK. I can't wait to enter a whole new world.
This week started out very much like every other week. Mid-terms are just around the corner and I seem to be feeling pretty lazy. Not only that, lab reports and assignments are piling up. 2 presentations next month. Argh, so many things yet so little time. Everyday I'm counting the days till September comes. I guess the only thing I can do now is to do my best in my last semester in UCSI.
Lately I've been listening to Taylor Swift alot. Her songs are meaningful and soothing in some way.
Jen-sen has been telling and asking me alot about guitars lately. It kinda re-ignites my passion for guitar-playing. I think I'll just borrow Rachel's guitar and strum away till she wants it back lol.
Been doing alot of "stalking" in the net. I mean I've been busy reading friends blogs to see how they're doing. Its great to know that everybody is doing great. A shoutout to Hannah, don't forget me now that you're in Australia! :D
Yeah you guessed it, I'm just blogging now because I'm bored.

The weekend~
It was a bad and good weekend.
I woke up on Saturday for lab which starts at 9am. Left the house and arrived in uni around 8.55am. When I was about to get out of the car, I realised I forgot my lab coat. I wanted to call any of the gang to help ask the lecturer if it's ok to go for lab without a lab coat. I reached for my pockets... to find out that I left my handphone at home. I didn't know what to do. Go for lab? Go home to get my phone and lab coat? I've got only 5 mins. Ok, so the plan was to go home and grab everything and come back. Great, got stuck in a jam. The time? 9.45am. Oh heck, might as well stay home. Well, its the beginning of a bad day.
Decided to take my sis and cousins out for a movie in KLCC. Went for "Jumper" and personally I find the movie awesome. They didn't really explain why there was a war going on between the jumpers and the paladins. Who the heck knows? Anyway, went to PetroSains after that. It was my first time there. It was pretty interesting but nothing all that great. We had to walk, and walk, and walk, and walk... at the end I was more tired than fascinated.
After that, we had dinner in the food court. Ate glass noodles and yeah, they're pretty tasty. That was how I ended Saturday. From an ugly beginning to a pretty ending. LOL. Went to bed at 8.30pm and woke up to watch EPL. United trashed Newcastle 5 goals to 1. Arsenal drew 2-2 with Birmingham. We're now within 3 points.
Well, today's Sunday. Woke up pretty early to wash the car. After that, did some studying and watched some anime. Went to church later on and then to Komura as usual for weekly dinner. Went home and still figuring out how to end the day/weekend. Maybe I'll just catch the Cup Final at 10.30pm between Chelsea and Tottenham.
Just a rant, TOMORROW I HAVE FREAKIN' 8AM CLASS!
ok that's about it. laterz

Quiksilver & Roxy PREVIEW SALES (22nd Feb 2008)
Today is the 22nd February, QUIKSILVER & ROXY will be having a PREVIEW SALES @ all outlets nationwide. Discounts up to 50%. Members receive an additional 10%. Actual sale starts on Saturday (23rd Feb 2008).
A summary of the past week~
It's Chap Goh Mei today, which is the 15th and also the last day of CNY. Damn, it's already the end of CNY and it doesn't even feel like it. >_<"
It's been like 6 days since I've blogged. Been very busy preparing for tests and sleeping. My uncle's gone for a business trip again and I'm sending my cousins to school every morning till he gets back. Yes, 6.30am every morning. So it's like send the kids to school--> come home and sleep---> wake up for class ---> come home and sleep.
Anyway, there was a pharmacology and molecular cell biology test the other day. Did I do alright? well, I don't wanna spoil my weekend thinking about it. Throughout the whole week, many football games were played. UEFA Champion's League, FA Cup, etc etc. I'm getting very lazy to posts final scores. LOL
Went out today with the gang to Midvalley to catch the movie "Dan in Real Life." A very heart-warming and funny movie about family togetherness and romance. Very good OST too. The new GSC Signature in The Gardens looks very glamorous. Might consider watching a movie there some time, hmmm. We had lunch at Oasis. Pretty decent food but not too great. Took alot of pictures too. I think I'll post some here.
Got home after that and slept. Btw, Happy Chap Goh Mei to you all!

My "short" CNY holiday
This year like every other year, I celebrated CNY back home in Kay-Kay. As stated in my earlier post, on the eve of CNY, I had a reunion dinner with my family. The next day, I went to visit Ling's place and then he brought me to his cousin, Alfred's place. We played prawn-crab before going over to another friend's place. Jeremy invited us to his open house. Caught up with Calv, Oliver, Maxi and many more old faces. It was a great gathering. All the best in your new job Jer!
At night I had a simple open house too. Lots of relatives and friends came. Casey then asked me out for a drink with some of the ClickStartPlay members who were bored. I was introduced to a new term "chong." LOL. Anyways, it was great to meet up with them after HobbyCon 2007. Later on, Casey came over to my place and we had a great time talking about the good old days. Before we knew it, we actually talked for almost 3 hours haha. If you're reading this Casey, its always good to reminisce about the past!
I spent most of my remaining CNY with my relatives. Hardly had time to meet up with the gang. Is it me or CNY holidays are getting shorter? hmm... Anyway, I had a call from Jace and Wan Ling. It's good to know that they are doing well in UK. It's even better to know that I'll be joining them soon! hehe.
On the day before I went back to KL, I went out with Kelvin, small Chong, Rieb, Ling, Calv, and Jer to warisan for lunch and some shopping. Met up with Bao Bao and Mary after that. Ended the day with a movie gathering together with ClickStartPlay members. It was penman's first outing with us. We watched CJ7 and it was an awesome movie. I have to admit the plot is weak, but there was enough entertainment to cover up the weak plot. After the movie, we went for a drink at Salim 2. As usual, every CSP meeting ends up as a NDS and PSP outing. This time I took part but I got my a$$ whooped by Toyboy in Tekken.
Sadly, I'm back in KL already. Hope to see you guys soon again! Take care, and God bless! Gong Xi Fa Chai to those I've forgotten to wish!

CNY Reunion Dinner!
I arrived back in Kay-Kay last night and it's freakin' hot here. Anyway, it's great to be back home with my family and friends. I asked Ling the other day about any open houses and its sad to know that Bertez isn't coming back for CNY and there's no open house at his place. Damn, what about the ha kung lao hai?? XD
I'm minutes away from my CNY reunion dinner and here I am blogging. Below is a rough description of what the reunion dinner is. Its taken from http://wikipedia.org/
At Chinese New Year a reunion dinner is held on New Year's Eve where members of the family, near and far, get together for celebration. The New Year's Eve dinner is very large and traditionally includes chicken. Fish (魚, yú) is included, but not eaten up completely (and the remaining stored overnight), as the Chinese phrase 年年有魚/餘; (nián nián yǒu yú, or "every year there is fish/leftover") is a homophone for phrases which could mean "be blessed every year" or "have profit every year", since "yú" is also the pronunciation for "surplus". A type of black hair-like algae, pronounced "fat choy" in Cantonese, is also featured in many dishes since its name sounds similar to "prosperity".
I'll be going back to KL on the 11th of Feb. I was told last week that I'll be having a pharmacology test on the 12th. So I booked my ticket as soon as I got home hearing the news. HOWEVER, the next day...the lecturer canceled the test and postponed it to a further date. If only I knew, I wouldn't have booked my ticket so early...haih~
Anyway, I hope to do whatever I can do in these few days in Kay-Kay. A 6 day trip only...hmmm, time is really of the essence.
Alrites, it's time for my family reunion dinner, will blog more as soon as I have the chance.
p/s: could this be my last reunion dinner in kk until the next few years?

50th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster (1958)
This week will be an important and memorable week for Manchester United as its the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash disaster. Eight of the Busby Babes died in the disaster in 1958 including potentially the greatest of them all, Duncan Edwards. The last remaining player from the pre-Munich side, Sir Bobby Charlton, retired from playing in 1975.
The Munich air disaster took place on 6 February 1958, when British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on its third attempt to take off from a slush-covered runway at the Munich-Riem airport in Munich, West Germany. On board the plane was the Manchester United football team, nicknamed the Busby Babes, along with a number of supporters and journalists. Twenty-three of the 44 passengers on board the aircraft died in the disaster. The team was on the way back from from their European Cup match against the Yugoslavian team Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade), which ended in a 3-3 draw (United won the tie 5-4 on aggregate).
This mid-week Manchester United will be taking on Manchester City in an all-important derby in Old Trafford. The Red Devils will be donning a special jersey to commemorate this unfortunate accident.

Kay-Kay here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
I can't wait to go back to kay-kay for CNY! Gambling, house-raiding(visit), Ang Pao collecting, and everything else. Great time to catch up with family, relative, and friends too. I'm going back on the 5th of Feb just in time for the New Year eve's reunion dinner. Cool...that's like only 2 days away hehe.
Had a small pre-CNY dinner last night with uncle Vince and his family. Ate mum's "kiu nyuk" which has been left in the fridge for almost 1 year haha. Amazing that it still taste so good. Oh for your information, "kiu nyuk" is a Hakka cuisine.
"Kiu nyuk" (扣肉, sliced pork with preserved mustard greens): thick slices of pork belly, with a layer of preserved mustard greens between each slice, are cooked and served in a dark sauce made up of soy sauce and sugar.
CNY holiday has "unofficially" started as we had a test on Thursday(31st Jan) and the next day was a public holiday (Federal Territory Day). Of course this is followed by a weekend and yeah, you get the picture. HOWEVER... I still have class on Monday and Tuesday! Not only that, I've got tutorial questions that need to be handed up on the 5th of Feb...damn, this means I can't skip both classes =.=" (MCB is really MCB) (hint: MCB= molecular cell biology. the other MCB is well....you guess!)
Re-installed Heroes of Might and Magic V (HoMM5) again. Finally had the chance to sit down and play through every campaign. It does bear similiarity to HoMM3 but its so much harder. Wasted many hours playing this. Better start studying instead. LoL! XD
