The start of the Holidays pt 2...

So to start off the second part for this outing, we started walking back to Sasaki at 615. Talk about efficiency and being punctual for something for the first time. For those out there who don't know, we architecture students are famous for being "early". Well, we reached Sasaki 5 minutes before they opened. We were the only 5 who were there early so we decided to start without the others. How "nice" of us huh?

Lucky for us.... We went there on the right day. Christmas promotion just started yo.. RM 53 for all you can eat buffet dinner. Compared with Jagoya, the ambiance and the food at Sasaki, when we walked in looked fresher though there were not as many selections.

Those who came early.

So we started without the others. Who cares right? If the food is staring at us and we have to pay RM53 we should just start and end at the time limit they give to us. So the 5 of us started at 630 p.m. sharp, taking all the beautiful and delicious Sashimi and Sushi.... And not to forget, snapping pictures of it as well.

Yummy yummy... And fresh too (to my taste la)

Can you believe I had 7 fresh/raw Oysters? SO NICE!! Heavenly... But got sick after the 6th so no more after the 7th.

The rest arrived an hour later because of the Traffic Jam. Thank Goodness we went early. By the time they arrived, the 5 of us had already finished 3 rounds of Sashimi and Sushi but we paused to settle the tummy before everyone arrived. It became rowdier when most of them arrived. Najat, Becca, Huei Liq, Amman and Zaki were stuck at Federal Highway till 9 P.M. (sad case)

Here are some of the shots of the night. Many more in the hard disk...

YUMMY YUMMY. Everyone enjoying themselves. Darren showing the thumbs up.

Too full......

And finally...

Our final group pictures as a student of Taylors Diploma in Architecture Technology.

Part 3 coming up.. I think there will be 3-4 parts for these outings. Too many pictures and moments to share.

Just a short note:

Thanks guys and gals for the friendship and Lameship for the past 2 years (well, since I only really got to know you during our second year after all the shyts during the first year). What I learnt that is we need to have true friends to go through all these hardships of what we are going to call life in the future. You guys have been an inspiration to me. Your works and your idea, Your help and your friendship.. Those are the things I feel I will cherish and inspire me in the future. Daphne and Sherman, I know you guys didn't make it to our outing but you are still part of us. Well, *bow* Thank you everyone, Lameville+ABC+Chii+Qian Pei+Many others (yes, our group grown immensely) and may you all have bright futures as Architects, artists, designers and etc.

Hope to see you all in the future wherever you may be. God bless and really going to miss you all. See you at the Graduation Ceremony in January.

My 22nd Birthday and the 300th post

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and thank you gang for the wonderful outing. Lets not forget my mum and dad who gave me a surprising 7 A.M. (YES, 7 in the morning!) wake up call just to wish me a Happy Birthday which basically was how I started my birthday. And also thanks to my sis for wishing me via sms all the way from Melbourne.

Well, started my day by going to college and didn't go for studio because I have already presented so ended up at a cafe chit chatting with Najat, Becca and Zaki, had lunch then went to the final lecture of my years in Taylors.. Awwww... Well, the last lecture was on Vernacular Architecture for Environmental Sciences. See, I paid attention in class. Well, class ended early which was 2 P.M. so the gang said to head for Pyramid for bowling, dinner then a movie. Dinner and movie on them.

People who went for bowling: Me, Aaron L, Darren, Daphne, Wai Sie, Choong Wai, Li Qun, Benjamin, Clement, Elaine, Ruh, Hau Yee, Jun Wai and Gordon

Photographers: Unknown (too many hands and just one camera)

Been a while since I bowled but it was fun seeing the others bowl. The scene was funny. Especially when it came to getting a STRIKE.

Aaron L throwing a canon ball and not bowling...

Tweety bird looking on....

Li Qun bowling...

Strike!

Me too!

Happy faces.

Only got a 69 for my first round. Did slightly better on the second game. Ah.. Need more training.

First Game... Aaron L won.

Round two... Aaron C won. Wohoo...

After Bowling, went to Ole Ole Bali. It was a Da Ja Vu. Why? Because for my birthday last year, we went to Ole Ole Bali for dinner after Studio Crit, it was the same for this year but honestly, this year's one is 100% better! Why? Because they didn't "decorate" my car. HAHA. But it was fun nonetheless.

Dinner at Ole Ole Bali..

With candles,

And a mood to make you ponder....

"What are you looking at?"

Great Food! and great company......

Then suddenly, Darren said:"Okay guys, Happy birthday to you......"

Surprising....

Even more surprising. Happy Buttday???

Thanks for the Chocolate Indulgence cake from Secret Recipe guys. I bet the person who wrote Happy Buttday must be laughing his ass off and wondering why my friends would write this.

After dinner was movie time.

Which one?

My review.... 8.5/10. Super funny movie with alot of funny puns. It is a must watch I must say. But less of the review, back to the post..

After a movie, we chilled at Starbucks with a cup of Frappuccino and chit chatted. Something we haven't done in a long time. We seriously need a break and inspiration for our work now. It was nice, just chilling with friends.

Group Picture!

Random scenes.

Something stupid we did from copying the movie we just watched.

My favorite one is Aaron L's look... So Funny!

Overall, I had a great 22nd Birthday with my friends. Again.. Thank you guys for the fun.

Sorry for the super long post....

Now back to Studio...

*Just so you know, my birthday wish this year is that everyone graduates with flying colours and do well in Studio (and not for a girlfriend like what Darren thought I would wish for)... Hope it comes through. Gambate!

*Countdown... One more month till final day of my days at Taylors University College...

Oh yea, this is my 300th post! WOhoo.....

Gathering with old school mates

I just touched down in Sibu yesterday and tonight, I had a gathering with some of my old school mates. Just in time because they are all leaving for their respective Universities. Some are in Japan (2 actually), one in U.S.A., one in India (JO JO), 2 in U.K. and the rest from K.L. (including me).
Not many photos but it was a memorable night. We started out at this Korean BBQ place near Paramount hotel with some steamboat/BBQ thingy. Chit chatted and catch up on our where-a-bouts while enjoying the "spread"(inside joke). Yes, the place was sort of warm so Ian provided us with cold jokes to chill the place.

The group... All 13 of us.


The girls.

The night progressed and before I knew it, we were on our way to Muhibah for desert and supper. Imagining having just finishing dinner a half hour before and having supper straight after.
At Muhibah, we headed to stall number 5 which according to the rest sells the best "Shui Guo Bing" (literal translation, Fruit Ice or in correct terms Fruity Shaved Ice Desert with jelly) in town. Though we just had our dinner, some ordered some fried snacks. One even ordered a plate of "Kampua" and he even dubbed himself as the "Kampua" King.

"Kampua" King (Ian Eng): "Stay away from my bowl of "Kampua"!!!"

Oh yea, an advice to those who wish to go there to eat the desert because the Aunty at stall 6 (Liasing with stall 5) will ask you why you order food from other stall and not her's and will force you to order a plate of snacks from her; and not in a polite way. But I guess business is bad so she had to do that and maybe she is just cranky because she is old (my speculations that is).

Waited for nearly half an hour for the drink to arrive (Imagine having to make 12 bowls of this and that there were other customers besides us) and when it finally did, everyone was smiling and glad it was finally out. Conversation resumed and I found out that for my batch, there were actually many engineers and lawyers in the making which is a good thing just in case I get sued one day or if I need someone to help calculate the crazy designs to be built. Right?(Just joking guys and gals.)

The verdict... Yep, its one of the best I had in Sibu so far. Not too sweet and plenty of fruits and jellies inside. Anyone can guess how much is one bowl with and without peaches?

Great fun and great memories. Some of whom I haven't met since I finished F5 which was 4 years ago. Nice to be able to meet up with them once again. Too bad they are going back soon. See you in another 4 years or so. Hopefully the SMK Methodist Alumini will plan something in the future. Can't wait to see what everyone has become since leaving school....

Now I suddenly feel very old....
