Mid Term Break?!

Well, i should say this mid term break is totally a reading week for me. Fully packed with events and study plan, i cannot imagine anytime to relax my tired body and depleted brain. (Although i am posting this blog instead of sleeping.)

This is the 1st time i feel stress for the study process since i was born. Seeing my poor result in last semester, i know i have to work very hard to satisfy my target. Maybe i should not make my life so miserable?

Come on, Liamzai. Wish i can get back to the LiamZai i knew in the past!! Aza Aza fighting!

Chinese New Year!

Hehe... It's kinda late to post this article. I found it lying in my laptop for fews weeks already. Time to post it now!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can say that the only word to describe my Chinese New Year in this year is "rushing". Since the holiday is only 4 days long, i do not go much place. Sure my angpow is lesses a lot comparing to previous year. *Sign...

I skip my Wednesday lecture and go back to Kluang in Tuesday evening. Luckily the custom is not seriously crowded. Here begin my fully packed scheduled Chinese New Year.

On the eve of the CNY, I spent whole day with my family. Of course having reunion dinner together. This year is kinda special for me. We had steamboat as our reunion dinner in evening. Tasty tasty....

The first day of CNY, I stayed at home and went to the temple in the afternoon. My dad's friends come visit us in the morning and here comes another special event for me in CNY. Afternoon went to the temple, we go for my dad's Malay friend's daughter's wedding dinner (wow, so many " 's "). I can say that it is the greatest Malay wedding dinner i have ever seen. Live band, many stalls of foods and a lot of child performers. Unfortunately i didn't take any photos. At night, i went to cinema and watched CJ7. Quite a nice show!

The second day i paid visit to my grandmum's house. Saw a lot of relatives there. Lots of my small cousin are getting taller. I look so small sized. *Sign... Get used to my short height already. Haha XD At night , watched movie again.Kungfu dunk... Ok, no comment for this movie.

I like the 3rd day of CNY. My secondary school classmates gathering!!! Miss my friends so much. Finally saw the guy and gal study in Taiwan. Handsome guys and pretty girls!!! We played a lot there in my friend, XiaoWen's big big house. Mahjong, pokers and even LaoSheng!! The floor is dirty after we LaoSheng. It turned to be throwing the food. >.<

At night, i met some of my soccer friends. We played 1 futsal match together. It's such a long time i do not score a goal and i think i had 3-4 goal that day. Kinda happy as playing with my good friends. Pity i forget to take camera go there. Hehe...

My holidays past so fast and i returned to NUS in Sunday. Proposal, grammar presentation, essay writing and online assignment accompany the whole Sunday... @.@

Bad news.....

NUS Alumni Building construction site - Toppled crane

It's such a long time i do not updated my blog here. What makes me post a new article is there is a sad accident happened in my campus.

I read the news from the Straits News. Quite sad for my recess week(somesay reading week as well).

Apparently it's the toppled crane. 2 workers (This makes me confused, i have read 2 version of news: 3 death or 2 death) got crushed.

Friday is my free day and for the whole day i stay in my room doing my own things. At 230pm, i went out with my friends. I was shocked when my friends told me this sad news.

I heard my friends saying that that accident happened right after all the people at the bus stop boarded the bus. Many more would have been injured if the bus was late by couple of minutes. 1 of my friends saw whole the accident happen. She was in the A2 bus that time, luckily.

Pray that there are not much injuries in the construction site. Bless them.




RIP for those 3 workers....

In-Fusion Rocks!

In-Fusion, my 1st performance in UCC stage! Wow! I had spent at least 3 days per week for this performance. (I am not the most hardworking one... :p) There are really many nice memroy spending with the performers, although i don't make much new friends. Haha... We represent M'sian performing our own culture, mixing Dikir Barat and Chinese Musical Dance. Dikir Barat i have posted fews days ago in my blog. You can go watch it and feel the spirit of the performance.
Our pass to UCC!

At 1/2 Friday 9am, we reached UCC and proceed to the basement. For a long time, we stayed in the dressing room and waited for the rehearsal. 9am? Yaya.. our performance is at night 730pm but we have to rehearsal to get a perfect performance for all the audience. You can imagine whole day without any mobile network and any wireless broadband network. We are totally concentrate in our preparing. Of course, while we were waiting, we played some card games. I learned how to play Bridge and Bang!. (Haha.. I didn't skip any lecture or tutorial on Friday as i don't have any! XD)

After a long long long long time waiting, all of us are quite tired. Many of them were taking a short nap in there. Suddenly, the dressing room become noisy. Oh my god! a pretty Mongolian girl came to find us to snap a shoot! All the guys became so excited including me! :p

Having Indonesian Pangka as lunch and dinner, we are totally full whole day! At 7pm, we are queuing outside the backstage and waiting the 1st performance to end. Bingo! We are the 2nd performance. Disappointed by the backstage logistic, we started our performance. Though there was a little bit mistake, it is indeed a nice perform! I did enjoy Dikir Barat!


After we finished our performance, we spent a long time in the dressing room. Cheering each other and taking photo with everyone. Our leader KimWong and WenYao gave us a long speech. It is touching!

Of course, the last activity is having supper in Shears Hall. Haha.. Joking with each others. laughing loudly, such a long time i didn't relax like this.

p/s: bunbun, tat dikir barat is not our performance and nice shout for HiaoKian on that day!

Week 4 is coming...

Time really past fast... While i am busy preparing for some performance and cca activities, now is already the last day of week 3. But, I had a wonderful time in the first 3 weeks in semester 2.

Ok, now stories is going to be a little bit long. Be patient.

In the 1st weekend which is 18 Jan, I went to Sentosa with my AMCISA* friends. That is a exciting member outing for all of us. If i am not wrong, there is already 10+ years since last time i visit to Sentosa. Since my friend BunBun and Shengran are the coordinators of this activity, definitely i skipped my MA1506 make up lecture to support him. XD (Ops... I am not a good student~) The weather is quite hot, but we did enjoy playing game there. Yeah! I also make 2 new friends, ZhongZhi & DongXiao there. We play till night, and mass dance at the beach there. Sure we have crazy photo taking session. Non stop flash light!

Big family of AMCISA!

The story keeps going on... The next day, with BunBun again, I went to NTU for the Malaysia Sports Day. I felt sleepy whole the morning as i reached my hostel PGP at around 2am after having supper at Foon Seng. Once i reached there, i found my name are not in the name list and i am been distributed to the basketball event. Oh my god! Luckily I was in Red Hot Star NUS team 2. The captain is very friendly. I played for 2 match as a substitution and i got scored 2 marks! Haha... So happy. After having lunch, i went to support my friends HamHiao, SupperQueen and Pehwen in their badminton match. Due to the hot weather, i fall asleep and missed the 3rd and Final match of the basketball. Then, i get a gold medal. Haha.. I also do not know what happen actually. After that, here came my favorite sports event, 16x100m racing. Wow! Everyone cheer for their team and we get 1st in the male section and 2nd in female section. So happy! Haha.. Many people say that i ran very fast. So shy~~ XD

What a pity as over 100 NUS people took part in this event but there is ony 6 of AMCISA people there. Most of them are from MSL* but anyway we are Malaysian!! And what made me sad is I still haven't get the photo of the sports day! Haha...

*AMCISA: an unregistered society which gathers all Chinese independent school students.
*MSL: a society under IRC which gathers all government based secondary school students.

Dikir Barat




Someone maybe not know about this performance in the above video. This a traditional culture of Malays, called Dikir Barat.

Environmental problem in Malaysia

A tropical natural bounty, but can this treasure be kept?

Malaysia is fast becoming an industrial country in the last few decades. But today, as the consequence of this remarkable growth with industrialization, many of her rivers, lakes and sea have become polluted due to the disposal of industrial waste. In a short word, we can say water pollution is seriously happen in Malaysia.

Human cannot survive without water even though 1 day. Deteriorating the water quality is the way of committing suicide. Even so, the citizens of Malaysia do not realize about this fact. Oil leaking, industrial waste and rubbish throwing can said to be happen in Malaysia everyday. You may think that I am puffing and think this is ridiculous.

This can easily proven by looking at our river everywhere. Rubbish cover the the surfaces of the river, oil float on the sea and dying fish due to the poison chemical waste. What happens recently at the Melaka Strait shocks everyone. What can we do?

Without the correct idea of protecting our country, we can do nothing but receive the bad result bring by water pollution. No fresh water, no fishes for food and even no any creatures in river. Even worse, the ecology related to water will be disappear.

Will Malaysia become a hell like this? No unless we start doing something useful now. Stop throwing rubbish into rivers, scheduled check the ship and perhaps prevent from using the product containing material harmful to water.
