Spring Break 2006

I'm back from Miami to which is probably my last Spring Break in my academic career. How was it? It wuz da Bomb!

Now that I'm back to school, it's back to work and stress so I can't really post the happenings I did right now. However, I'm compiling everything together and creating a special webpage for this event which I hope to finish soon. So check out this page in about 1 month (I'm honest with my blogging progress)

Check out this cool Panoramic View that I created. Warning, it is a big file (7MB)

Cheers!

The Flowers are Blooming

Its that time of year again, and unfortunately it will be my last.

Everybody, IT IS SPRING BREAK!!! WooHoo~!

This will probably be my last Spring break in college life. And as with all spring breaks, we celebrate with parties, lots of booze and for the daring ones, getting lucky!

Being in the Mid-West has always brought me to the eastern parts of US. Last year I journeyed to New York, Washington and Virginia. This time I'm going down south to Miami, Florida! The sun-sea-sand factor will be a great motivator (or distraction) for me to work really hard this few days to get my work done so I can go with peace of mind.

Me and a bunch of Malaysian friends from Purdue will be renting a minivan and road trip all the way down south. We leave on Monday evening and hopefully reach there Tuesday evening.

Isn't this exciting? I'll update you guys after I cencor all the moments I'm being picked on during my birthday bash (might be literal) once I come back.

Happy Holidays~!

G-force X

There's a new attraction in KL and I wish I could be there to experience it.

Apparently human beings just love to get high, literally! G-Force X is situated at the base of KL tower and it is a reverse bungy, something like a slingshot. It claims to reach 120km/hr in only two bloody seconds! I think its comparable to the Dragster I sat in Cedar Point.

The company that brought this attraction is AJ Hackett (never heard of them, but then again, put in a foreign name and it will be successful in Malaysia I guess). Seems like its not operated by Malaysians so I guess I'm willful to try it out without too much safety concerns!

I heard there's something very similar that Singapore setup at Clark Quay a few years back. But the one at the base of KL Tower is the tallest and fastest in Asia. I'm not too excited about the video clip on it though... Its just too stupid. Newspapers should strictly report news in the newspaper, and any attempt by The Star to go newscasting on video is futile and degrading. *sheesh*

Anyone who tries the G-Force-X do tell me about it ya! That is... if you come out in one piece!

CNY Revisited

This is old news but since I don’t have my internet connection, I’m writing this from the archives of my picture folder.




The Malaysian student association at Purdue University (PUMSA) held a double celebration in conjunction with the Hari Raya Haji and Chinese New Year celebration. It was held at the international center even though the event took place 2 weeks overdue from the actual celebrations. There were lots of Malaysian food and I got to say it was impressive that these students can prepare these with so little time and so many more important things (like projects) to do.



After the gathering/party, we headed to Willowbrook apartments where someone was having an after party. There was the usual out-of-tune karaoke, overflowing drinks and too much dancing for an enginerd. I was "initiated" that time too! A few new comers (I'm a senior yet I'm a party newcomer, wtf!) had to race chugging down a can of beer after piercing it with a fork. Last one has a penalty. I finished second. Felt weird, but even weirder after a few minutes as the rush of alcohol was making my head pulsate hard. However, it was awesome fun and looked forward for more! I guess I have to compensate for all the lost opportunities in college life in my last semester, right?

Bumped out after that...
