Hola Singapore..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all the muslims.. :) The one week holiday came just on time when everyone needs a break... Though it's a short one, i think everyone really enjoyed the break back in their hometown.. As for me, i stayed back in KL because i had another plan... I went to Singapore later that week with Xinni...

Hola Singapore.... It is such a great country... A country so nice and clean put together with great architecture...

We arrived at around one o'clock in the afternoon and headed straight to sembawang where we stayed.. Only managed to go to Woodlands civic centre and few other smaller shopping centres that day..

Second day, we went to Vivo City opposite Sentosa.. However, we didn't manage to cross to Sentosa as both the time and weather didn't favour us.. We could see sentosa from here though... I am sure i will be here again so till next time i will surely step onto Sentosa Island... Back to Vivo, it is a nice place to visit.. Nicely built building which houses a great shopping centre...

Night time, we continued our journey to Orchard.. Orchard was not lit up as grand as it is during Christmas... To me, it is almost the same as bukit bintang plus it is a bit cleaner... Shopping centres like Takashimaya and Isetan line up the whole stretch of Orchard road.. And this time we have one newly opened shopping centre, ION... It looks a bit unusual but i wouldn't say it is nice... Just unique..

We were lucky to have met a photography session for an advertisement outside Louis Vuitton.. One thing for sure, it is not easy to be a model... She stood there for more than half an hour being blown by a big fan... By the time we left, they were still not done yet.. Pity the model..

Third day, we went to Bugis and we managed to walk Bugis Junction as well as Bugis street... This time, it looks like Petaling street in KL... A high class Petaling street selling ciplak stuffs...

Night time, we headed to the city, hoping to see my durian, the esplanade... Lucky us or should i say unlucky us... F1 race started on that day... The whole area around the esplanade was sealed up for the race... -_-!!! Not able to see my durian close up, we moved to plan B which was to see the Merlion... It was not easy to find that little creature plus most of the places were blocked because of our dear Hamilton toying with his car in Singapore.. In fact we almost gave up before giving our last try at Raffle's place station...

From that station, we walked to clarke quay and to the merlion park... The atmosphere there was fantastic.. Marina Sands Casino is just opposite... Though it is still under construction, i can imagine how it would be like in the next few years.. This place is gonna be happening... Must come again once it is completed...

I realised that i complimented Singapore lots.... Yes, they are good... But, they too, have rooms for improvement... Similarly, Malaysia is not that bad either, believe me... As soon as i past the immigration counter, i feel safer because i am in my own country... Still, it is home sweet home.... Till next time, Singapore.... :)

Malaysian team in F1??

Sometimes it is good to aim high.... And yeah.. Our prime minister is aiming so high he is going big this time... He is trying to potray tun dr mahathir in carrying out megaprojects... To do something others think will be impossible... This time, to enter a very own malaysian team into the world of F1 racing..

I am proud of you, malaysia.. but still... It's kind of funny seeing proton racing together with cars like ferrari, mclaren-mercedes and renault...

Will see how far we can go..... Malaysia boleh.... haha....

09.09.09

It's 09.09.09.... How fast time flies? I still remember more than one year ago when i posted on the date 08.08.08... It was the opening ceremony for China's very first olympic then, an anticipated moment by the chinese...

Anyway, this kind of date happens every year.. And very soon it would be 10.10.10 next year... By that time, i will be in my final year in IMU... It was like only yesterday when i had my orientation and now i am half way through... :P

And yea... Happy birthday Ah Howe and Siew Ling... Hope you guys have a great birthday this year...

A gold medal so near yet so far...

Just a month ago before IMUcup badminton event started, Phoenix looked to have the slimmest chance of making it to the top... Things were bad as there wasn't even a complete team.. At most only 5 person turned up for practice each time.. There were no spirit, hope and everything it takes to even making it to the semi...


-The Challenger, Cheras-

Things started to change a week before it started... Eventually after the first day of the event when we managed to beat Pegasus and Draco, Phoenixians began to aim high... There was hope of making it to the gold... We have great players and great spirit...

But..... It was just not our day... A gold medal was so near yet so far.... We lost, both luck and strategy.. :) But we won for being able to stick as a team, a team that fought till the end....

I had a great time with this team... We had a great captain and team mates... All of us were equal and we made a great team... It's the team spirit that made us stand.. :)

Go Phoenix....
