Results day

Finally feel like blogging my semester results in my blog. When I saw my results on handphone as I had subscribed the sms service from SP, I was really surprised because firstly, I do not expect my weakest and hatest module which is CRS to get a B+, that is so unexpected because I did not really do not know how to the essay.

Secondly, I am also quite surprised by my results in my ITAB module because as from my previous posts, I say that my project is not superior to other groups project. But managed to get an A which is so happy.

Last Day in Genting Highlands

Woke up around 7.30 because had to eat breakfast as early as possible so as to check out from the resort around 10.30. Went down to the same cafe as the previous day to tuck in pur breakfast. However, the food is still the same as the previous day which does not whet my appetite at all. Forced myself to ea he food as I think that I am going to have a late lunch because of the journey Malacca to eat at a famous Nyonya restaurant which my uncle recommends.

After eating, went back to the resort to take a rest as the journey to Malacca is going to take around 2 to 3 hours which is so long.

After packing all our things, we checked out from the resort punctually. However, we have to wait our relatives to pack their belongings at the other resort in our car. After all the people have assembled, we set out together to Malacca. However, after reaching there, we got lost along the way and we could not find the location of the restaurant. Therefore, my uncle have to check their GPS to check out the exact location of the restaurant. After finding the location, we found out the restaurant is closed and would not open until around dinnertime. That is a pity for us not to taste the food there. Settled to eat at a hawker centre there and we ordered a lot of there such as bak ku teh and chicken rice and lots more. The food there is cheap and nice which is much much better that SIngapore hawker fare. Afer eating our hearts content, we separated our own ways to shop around the stalls and shopping there. Did not managed to buy anything there.

After shopping, we decided to go back to Singapore. Along the way, I slept in the car. After passing all the Customs, we managed to reach home at around 9pm.

Comments on Genting trip: As this is my first time going to Genting, I have widened my scope and my knowledge as this is my first time going overseas and out of Singapore. However, my only regret is that I cound not play at the theme park there and the place is not handicap friendly at all as there are a lot of staircases and obstacles along the way. I hope to go there for a holiday again to enjoy the cool weather there and escape from the stressful and boring environment of Singapore.

Tomorrow is my unveiling of my results. Hope that I can pass my modules(especially CRS) and graduate to year 2 smoothly. Wish good luck for me :)

2nd Day of Genting Highlands trip

Woke up around 5.30am in the morning because I can't sleep in the previous night. Decided to play my uncle's PSP while waiting for my parents to eat the complimentary breakfast in the First World Cafe in our resort.

After changing, went to the cafe for breakfast. I will have to say that there are quite a variety of food there such as Chinese and Western breakfast such as beehoon and hotdog and eggs respectively. Took a lot of food there as we are too famished. Although the variety is quite varied, but the taste of the food is only average. I have one complaint there which is that there are too many people there and they are taking the breakfast buffet like they have not eaten for days. They are like refugees. Haha and some of the people there do not have any courtesy, giving way to me and my parents. They treat us like a glass sia.

After eating, decided to call my brother where he is as he is not in our room. Found out that he is at the casino trying their luck. Haha. Decided to join them and win money there. However, I have lost my brother's credit and money in the jackpot game.

After that, my relatives decided to bring their children to the theme park. My brother decided to accompany them to theme while their parents wanted to go to casino. Went along with the theme park with them. The tickets for me are free as I am handicapped and my father only needs to pay RM20 to play the games there. However, after entering the theme park, I cannot play the games there as it will be too dangerous for me. So decided to walk the theme park around to see whether there are any nice places to go around.

However, we cannot contact my mother, bro and my relatives as they never listened their phones. So in the end, went back to the resort to have some rest as I am feeling sleepy because of waking up too early. After sleeping for two hours, went to see the casino whether they are there anot but to no avail. By the way, thanks to the security there as he helps us to call our relatives because my father do not have auto roaming. However, with the pressing of buttons by the security guard, we managed to contact them. Decided to meet up with them to discuss our dinner location after knowing where they are. However, after finding out that the food are so expensive there, decided to go to the same restaurant as the previous day.

After eating our dinner, we decided to catch on the a show called Dreamz in the the Pavilion where we had ordered tickets the previous day. My comments for the show are that it is nice and enjoyable as there are dangerous performances in the show such as motorsports and the unveiling of white tiger and lion there. This is my first time witnessing the animals which is so beautiful. After discussing with my parents and relatives, we decided to take photo with animals as each photo costs at least RM30 which is so expensive.

After catching the performance, decided to have a early sleep to have our batteries recharged for tomorrow's programme when we will go back home and stop by Malacca to have our lunch.

Tomorrow will be my last entry on the last day of the stay in Genting Highlands and Malaysia. Cya tml

Day 1 of Genting Highlands trip

I am going to update for three days on my genting highlands trip in last weekend. I am going to say out my Day 1 of my Genting Highlands trip in this trip. Here it goes:

Have to wake up really early in the morning to get in Malaysia without having to experience the packed traffic jam in the Causeway. But first my parents had to collect my mother's passport which had to be extended which is so last minute. In the end had to reach the Causeway late to meet our relatives to go in to Genting together as my father do not know the directions to Genting which is why I decided to go Genting with my relatives because of the queue in the passports office.

After meeting our relatives, we decided to go to Genting straight away as it will be a long and treacherous journey when reaching our destination. However, after passing Singapore Customs, we got lost on the way because of the wrong directions given by my uncle. Waste a lot of time finding and searching my uncle's location. However after keeping in contact with him, we finally went to Genting together.

Decided to stop by A & W to eat our lunch. We ordered a lot of things such as onion rings, burgers and waffles ice cream to share the food together. Find the food there not very appetising and delicious as I think that the food there is overcooked.

After eating our lunch, decided to continue our journey. Decided to take a nap and rest at my car as I felt too tired while travelling in the car. The journey to our destination took at least 6 hours to finally our place and take a rest there.

We decided to check in at the First World hotel/resort as my uncle have already booked a room there. After taking our rooms, we find that the place is so cold that we do not need to switch on the aircons and fan there. Feel like blowing air con there. We stayed at the 20th view which gives us a splendid view of the scenery there. But the scenery there is mostly covered by mist there as the resort is high up in the mountains.

Around 7, decided to have our dinner at the mushroom restaurant near our resort. My relatives ordered a lot of dishes there which include chicken and much much more. After eating our dinner, I decided to go to casino to try my luck there as I maybe will have beginner's luck there(LOL). When I reached the casino, decided to play the jackpot as my family do not wanna gamble big there and lose a lot of money there. After playing a few rounds, I really win some money but in the end because of the addiction of gambling, my profits have dropped to RM4 which is so little as to compared to RM8 previously. LOL, so advice to all: do not gamble too much or else you will lose a lot and regret. Haha

After playing a few rounds in the casino, decided to go back sleep at our respective resort rooms and sleep and will play our heart's content tomorrow.

Will be updating of my Day 2 of my trip to Genting tomorrow. Cya tml:)

Boring Holidays

Although holidays have started for me, but I really felt so uneventful and so boring during this holidays. No jobs, no outings, no good shows to watch. This really frustrates my nerves. This few weeks, I have spent my holidays watching movies in my Miotv and watching dramas in my latop. I have to say that Mio tv is quite boring as there are bery few channels to enjoy unlike StarHub cable which has so many nice channels and EPL matches. Miotv only broadcasts Seria A matches which is not so popular in Singapore and the matches are so late that I decided to sleep instead of staying up late to watch the matches.

In 26/2/09 thurs, I spent the afternoon going with my friends to Marina Square. The food there are so expensive that we do not what to eat during this recession period(Man,this is economics again). However, we have decided to eat at Billy Bombers Restaurant. However, the serving of the food is quite small compared to the last visit I went with my bro and his girlfriend. However, because of some things, I had to go back early instead of watching a movie with them.

During these few days of watching stephan chow movies, I really feel that he is really hilarious and funny in his potrayal of his character. Our local director, Jack Neo and his J Team really pales in comparison compared to him. Stephan Chow is really my idol!!!

Ending of this post. I think I have nothing to write these few days and few weeks unless something significant happens during this holidays.

PS: Zhenyu, can you please organize a class outing asap!!! Really hope to have a fun time together with my DAC06 mates
