i know this year's IMU Cup ended exactly a week ago.. like after nearly 5 whole months of practices and games! but i was a little tied up with my notes.. so yeah~ my house.. the fiery red Phoenix got 2nd place overall.. =) check out our standings for each event right here..
anyway, i wasn't at the finale a.k.a. closing ceremony.. so obviously i didn't get to watch the cheerleading competition! i really wanted to, but the event started only around 7pm or so.. i had a birthday bash cum dinner to attend.. check out the wonderful cheers by the top 3 houses~ a MUST!!
this is the gold class performance by Griffin (orange) house.. their pyramid, spinning and flying were fantabulous!
silver medal won by Pegasus (white) house.. today's birthday boy Jeffrey was being thrown up many times.. i salute them for the feat!
Phoenix house took home bronze.. lots of girls i noticed! it's pretty good except for some tumbles.. hehe..
i really want to give two thumbs up! IMU has a lot of talented students who don't only study.. they can sing, dance, cheer, do sports, make videos etc.. these are your future doctors, dentists and pharmacists yo! =D
now it's time to study for EOS.. i shall make it to Semester 3!!! then my dreams of being an Orientation Officer plus.. winning a medal for Phoenix badminton team will come true! wish me luck, pray hard and study smart~ *yay! yay! yay!*
remember the previous birthday post i blogged for you? this time we'll try with a new concept.. 30 minutes of videos to commemorate the big leap you are taking! although it is not my own effort, i took time to compile it.. the happy and memorable moments for your 2009 journey~ ^^
this is you and the rest of Fahrenheit promoting your 3rd album, Love You More and More / 越来越爱 released on 16 January 2009 on GTV's 100% Entertainment / 娱乐百分百..
enjoy this MV.. Chun, i have to say bravo! your chinese improved and you look extremely hot in there~
your 3rd Japanese single Only You released on 18 March 2009.. i don't understand it though.. haha.. but it sounds cool~
then on 28 March 2009, you had your first concert in Malaysia.. i was there of cos, the second concert i have been in my entire life! refresh your memories by reading the post..
the concert was a blast and it even appeared on the news! i was jealous, so were the other die-hard Chillies (Chun's fans) when you held that fan girl's hand during the concert.. you were the only one who held hands throughout the song, bringing her around the stage and letting her sing.. how i wish i had that chance too! =P
you look adorable and blending into the stage backdrop.. singing my favourite cute song Little VIP/ 小小大人物.. =)
and you showed your macho-ness while playing the Taiko drums.. i remember screaming at the top of my lungs then.. *swoons*
your baby - Fitness Zone, opened it's second branch in Brunei.. i told my friends before that i will only join any gym if you open a branch in KL, or better still in Petaling Jaya! this is you giving your speech during the opening ceremony~
how can anyone not love you? although you are celebrity, you are pretty down to earth.. taking your time to interact and take picture with your fans, accepting their gifts and posting them up on your blog, giving encouragement and advices as usual.. lovely!
i'll bug my friends from Brunei to take me for a visit.. i shall take picture with your cars and the number plates.. the stunning Ferrari B88 and the sporty Subaru BV1010.. hopefully can meet you too! =P
Fahrenheit members each released a photobook on 4 Sept 2009 your is titled My Journey / 我的旅程.. 100 pages per book with passages and notes written by you.. i can't wait for it to be sold here in Malaysia!
they say life starts at 30.. enjoy the journey my Chun! *hugs*
i am facing major exam stress right now.. it'll be starting on Tuesday and consecutively every 2 weeks! it's like so many things to cover, so little time given~ and we are having lots of unrelated to exam stuff to do.. i just don't get why they can't wait till after the exams? or may be extend the semester? this semester is only 12 weeks..
we have like 5 assignments to complete in the span of one month.. 2 written assignments, 1 video, 1 presentation and 1 report! not to forget private and government dental clinic visits, dental laboratory visit and a forum by invited speakers.. all of this a week before exams and during exam week.. T___T
oh, i resat for my CPR practical exam yesterday.. apparently i failed 1 scenario which is for the unconscious child.. and the best part is i don't remember doing anything wrong last time! so woke up at 7.15am, left at 8am, drove 25km to uni.. to do a practical which took me around 3 minutes to do and complete.. i arrived home at 12.30pm, so tired and i slept after that.. now i really want to pass it or i'll be speechless!!!
nway, most of you must be wondering why i privatised my blog.. nothing much actually, something triggered it.. hehe.. might consider publicizing it again in the near future.. just in case my Chun drops by.. haha.. *whacked*
just to share with you my top most viewed posts of all time.. the top 3 especially has 3-digits daily hits.. =) and that's before i privatised this blog of mine.. hehe..
very quick update here.. it's my birthday today! =)
the pump attendent at the petrol station flirted with me.. i was shocked! like seriously no joke~ it's something difficult to digest so early in the morning!
the speeches from my friends were terrifying~ i know i look mature for my age.. and they just had to emphasize on that! sigh.. but it's ok.. not that i haven't heard of it ever before.. at least i'll still look as young when i am older.. =P thank you anyway, i appreciate that!
i had 1/2 the auditorium singing birthday song for me.. a bit malu la but it was a nice feeling~ hehe.. i heard different versions of the song after that.. my IMU friends are a bunch of talented people.. that's for sure!
played bowling with the girls.. i sucked big time but it was fun~
it was just play, play, play today.. hehe.. only classes till noon without revising anything! i had Wellness Appraisal till around 5.30pm.. which further confirmed how unfit i am.. *shakes head* the test should have been done when i was practicing badminton!
i was stuck in the jam for 2 freaking hours with Mae Yee.. we had a good laugh, talk and man-hunting session alright! thank god she was there with me.. *winks*
anyway, thanks a bunch to well-wishers out there~ from sms to calls, blogs to facebook and face-to-face encounters! thanks for making today a memorable day..
this week i was less busy, as in less classes to attend.. but i am fully loaded with assignments.. two is down, another two more to go! must finish by mid-week ok~
there were some pretty interesting stuff this week.. some of you may already know, Phoenix got 4th place in badminton.. we tried to kick some ass, but didn't make it.. oh well~ there's always next year to nail it.. hehe.. we can start training after EOS 2 and BDS 1! btw, a girl from the winning team dislocated her elbow in the finals!
this week's Make A Difference (M.A.D.) events were pretty happening.. it's like an IMU Arts Festival were students participate in events like photography, drawing, dance, music, speech, video-making etc..
have a look of the winning team from dance category, Masquerade.. one of them is Ai Ling, who taught us fan dance back in SMKBU! they have pretty cool dance moves alright.. enjoy~
next is Music Appreciation.. no competition, just entertainment! i think from our batch there were 2 teams: Melissa's group and Carcinoma (yes, you saw it correctly).. but i am gonna show you a clip of one of my OOs singing.. enjoy the 6 in 1 song by Kyan and Daniel!
now in another note, Bite and Impression Registration session! this is our second time doing so.. and pictures as promised.. hehe..
we have to take the impression on each other using alginate.. Suet Yen is the operator, Eka is the patient and i am the assistant!
this is the leftover of the alginate mix..
how is it done? we added water into the powder.. stir quickly and steadily it until it's creamy and soft.. it changes colour from purple to pink then white as in hardens..
then we need to remove the impression from the mouth.. compare it with the teeth, wash and disinfect it.. no pictures for this! and head down to the dental lab to make the mould..
most of us ended up with alginate all over our mouth like Pei Jie.. =P
the dental lab was pretty chaotic at that time.. lol..
Kai Shang attempting to pour the stone mix into the tray..
the vibrator is there to get rid of bubbles in the first layer..
end up with something like my maxillary and mandibular stones!
Sam placing some powder for plaster mix into the rubber bowl.. appropriate amount of water and powder is needed for all our mixes!
after that we'll put a lump of plaster mix on the tile.. invert the tray and place the dried stone mix on the top..
as the stone is settled down, remove the tray from the models.. this step requires patience, strength and determination.. hehe..
and it's time to trim and polish the models like Chong Dee..
please keep your fingers and teeth model away from the machine.. a safe distance at least, like what Je Haw is doing..
after everything is done, we pose and smile with our models! =)
ok, this is last of the triology of this blog post.. make sure you have already eaten alright.. don't say i didn't warn ya~
090909 was my parents' anniversary.. so we headed to Bavarian Bierhaus in The Curve for dinner.. it was my very first time trying out German food!
the menu cover.. thank god my dad was paying the bill.. =P
the ambience was not bad.. just a little too dark for my liking.. and there was no air-cond for that matter.. only fans leh~
they had really nice decorations on the walls though..
i ordered 6 in 1 Pentathlon Pace smoothie *yum yum*, consist of: plain yogurt, peach fruit, ice-cream, apple, honey and orange juice!
my drink tasted better than my brothers'.. they had sour ice-blended Peach and Raspberry respectively.. hehe.. no beers for our family despite the on-going Happy Hour!
we had Sausage Platter.. 6 types of sausages grilled to perfection!
Crispy Roast Pork Knuckles with a freaking knife stuck at the top..
Barbeque Baby Pork Rib.. this is lovely! i want moreee~
and finally Gordon Blue.. it's stuffed with cheese and ham inside!
that's all for now.. i have a lotttt to revise.. wish me luck! =)
i am back! =D sorry for not updating in a while.. i was pretty occupied lately! and no, i was not part of ME209 orientation..
i shall wait till Semester 3 to be an OO (Orientation Officer)! yes, mark my words.. i'll make it through EOS 2!!!
i think i have problems with my time management.. =( i spent a lot of time doing unnecessary stuff, non-academic related.. so i have like another 3 weeks of lecture to catch up on! this did not happen in Sem1, why is it now?
but i believe everything will get back to normal staring Monday.. feel free to lash out on me if anyone sees me lazing around! Joo Yong did a good job the other day.. i was taking my so-called "power nap" in the library.. and then she woke up instantly by shouting my name! =P
------------------------------End of Part 1----------------------------
now is the continuation of the last 2 weeks.. very brief one, i hope!
Chin Ning came down to KL the day of the IPTS debate.. since he brought us round Penang last holiday, we promised him to eat duck rice when he is in KL.. so Mel and i took him and his girlfriend for a dinner at Long Foong!
freaking long queue for the duck wei~ non-stop chopping of ducks from the start of our dinner at 6pm till we finish walking around the pasar malam around 8 something!
our dinner that night.. for FOUR people!
and i asked a stupid question resulting in roaring laughter.. but i knew the answers alright: ONE duck has ONLY TWO legs!!!
that week we had CPR Theory Exam, which i passed! ^^ people who didn't had to pay for the resit ok~
oh, on the first day puasa.. we were at Sheraton Imperial Hotel to break fast.. joking! cousin CC's birthday that's why.. but we were the first to arrive.. not a good time to have buffet though.. cos it's not my favourite kind of food variety!
cousin CC bought a lot of party accessories for her guests.. from con-shaped party hats, guns and police cap for the boys, to hairband and wand set for the girls, and annoying whistles!
Daniel blowing off the candle for his mummy..
cousin Syuen and my bro posing with some of the accessories~
up next is about another OHC session.. we did some cool stuff! we took each others bite impressions, you know, moulding teeth? no pictures though.. i will take some photos next time around!
then it was Boh's birthday on August 28th.. the entire batch was singing him a birthday song.. around 270 of us in the lecture theatre! just imagine~ it was seriously the first time hearing it so loud and clear.. cos usually not everyone sings.. and it is somebody's birthday every other day.. haha..
i took this picture with Tay's DSLR.. =D
Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) performance in Sunway Convention Center on 29 Aug 2009 was lovely! we went there to watch Chin Ning perform..
and guess who we met there? Jiexun, Ying Tian and family! apparently they are good friends with each other.. and Ying Tian's sister was the concert mistress.. cool right?
me, Joo Yong and Shi Wen before the performance.. this was a successful 3rd attempt by me! pro right? =)
have fun with the following video.. ignore the guy's head, he was blocking my view half the time.. watching live was better though! hehe..
some of the 105 MPYO members and their funny conductor..
i had badminton match the next day, was part of women's doubles! Phoenix won 7 out of 10 games.. i lost both, damn sad case.. but we will do well in the Semi-Finals and Finals tomorrow evening.. Phoenix just got to win that gold medal alright! =)
with some of the Phoenix badminton team for IMU Cup!
last but not least.. a picture of me and Chiew Yi on Merdeka Day!
not that we celebrated Merdeka or anything.. just that this seriously is our first picture together! since like forever? yes indeed!
it's a Saturday night and there goes another week!
PBL has been a devil to me.. 4 PBLs on the 1st week = no sleep! 3 on the 2nd week, 2 on the 3rd and following weeks.. thank god for that cos it has been extremely time-consuming..
anyway, my group mates are a lovable bunch! everyone shares their info and we have a good laugh every time.. apparently in other groups, some people have mouthful of gold! i like my facilitator for both Dental and Medical PBLs, Dr Muneer.. he's nice and he always have interesting stuff to share with us.. =)
i had my nails done by Mae Yee and Zeng on Tuesday!
thank you my dears~ the job was well done and i like the colour! but i had a tough time getting rid of them before Friday's CSU.. the top coat really can last.. i rubbed till my hands got tired! =P
oh, and Yoke Yin left us for the US already.. we practically had farewells for her every week for a month! definitely will miss her in our regular yamcha session.. she's like totally in a different time zone now.. >.<
the first official farewell when the Aussie mates were still here! =)
a night before her morning flight, a few of us visited her.. since we can't be there to send her off, i bought her KFC! you know in chinese, 送机 >>> 送鸡.. lame right? haha..
Yinky with her chicken.. =P
we had a great time chatting.. the 6 of us!
up next is Dental Clinic Session, it was fun.. =) we got to experiment the dental unit! i didn't know a the chair has a multifunction foot control.. the seat can be moved when the equipments are intact.. while they are being used, the speed can be increased by foot! cool right??? means we must learn how to multitask soon~
Group II in our spanking new tunics with Dr Hanan and Dr Saad..
not forgetting the Skills Centre session.. we were taught how to wash our hands properly, gowning, wear so-called "sterilized" gloves which we had to fold it back.. =S and do intramuscular injection on a dummy.. this is tough!
let me tell you something: injecting the buttock was much simpler than placing the fluid inside the syringe.. i say kudos to all nurses out there! no pictures for this as i was kinda busy figuring things out..
and finally, went to help out in today's HEP-IPTS Debate.. i reached uni at 6.45am as we were supposed to be there by 7am.. some people were late including the important ones!
we did some reception job and were temporary runners! i had fun watching the first round thanks to the Melissa(s).. XD KDU vs Monash.. i personally liked KDU team better.. probably cos they were the government.. the motion was something like this: "Abolishing the Quota System in Public Universities"
IMU didn't make it to the semi-finals though.. i went home after the semis started, too tired.. my eyes were practically closing when i was driving home.. so dangerous, i know.. i slumped on my bed after that! i had a good sleep after sooo long.. all i can say is that the sleep was really satisfying.. =)
yesterday marked one year since Beijing Olympics 2008 started.. i started my day by waking up at around 7.15am.. we had CPR theory class to attend at 9am.. compulsory!
it was pretty fun and i like Prof Mark's accent.. lol can't wait for the practical part for CPR.. but we have t0 first pass the theory exam.. 42/50! that's like taking undang all over again.. haha..
anyway, exactly a year ago (yet again), Isabelle was born.. she looked exactly like me when i was a month old too.. but now, she no longer has THE look.. in fact she's prettier and less chubbier than my baby self.. hehe.. we celebrated her step into babyhood last night! =)
her birthday cake.. look lovely and taste yummy~ cheese on the outside with icing design, chocolate cake in the inside!
Isabelle with daddy, mummy and Ivan..
we tried taking a lot of pictures with the birthday girl.. it wasn't really fruitful cos babies just don't stay still.. among the reasons were: not looking at the camera smiling, moving frantically around, grabbing everything within her reach, closing her eyes each time the camera flashes!
we had to keep our smile as long as we could, while the photographer waits for the perfect shot.. patience was a virtue, like really! until Man Wah found a way to get Isabelle's attention.. she smiled and stopped moving for more than a split second!
curious of how we did it? have a look at this video.. hehe..
i left the party earlier together with my bro, cousins and uncle.. we went to Sepang, and abrupt and very last minute decision.. to watch the Merdeka Millenium Endurance Race 2009..
i was at the event back in 2007.. check it out here.. last year, i was having my National Service, so i missed out.. =S this time we went like really late at night.. reached there around 10.30pm.. which was when JPM's Porsche was out of the race.. so everyone at the pitstop was being pretty emo.. aww~
since we have no team to cheer on, and it was Uncle Ping and cousin Syuen's first time here.. we went to have a look around the paddock area..
cousin Syuen with the Porsche..
with the poster of JPM drivers: my uncle, cousins and their partners..
myself with the Integra..
the inside: very tight seat, wet and smelly! what do you expect when it has been driven for 11hours?
a picture next to the race track..
Henry, Aaron, Rong Qin and Jia Yao was later than us.. they were invited by cousin Creamy who was working there.. met up with them, they seemed impressed.. hehe..
catch a glimpse of the last 10 minutes of the race.. should be around 11.30pm.. they had raced 306 laps on the Sepang circuit! wow~
the wait for the prize-giving ceremony was horrendous.. i think we waited below the podium for like 30 minutes?
saw a few more famous drivers that appear in Malaysian papers.. Alex Yoong and Jazeman Jaafar, just at max 10 steps away..
the white guy next to me had A LOT to complain.. i swear he has repeated this a gazillion times: "how long does it take to host 9 people on the podium???" it's supposed to be 9 people from each category.. he looked hot before he opened his mouth.. =P
but at least we had fun watching the umbrella girls in action.. the Malaysian girls showed less skin than the Japanese of cos.. some of them wore really nice outfits.. but most of them were just plain skimpy!
all the guys present had a fun time looking of cos.. professional photographers snapping away.. then this Jap model stripped her top, may be she was hot.. revealing her chest and she sat down right behind us to rest.. the Malay guys started taking pictures with their phones! =.="'' how contradictory to the motion PAS always pose.. meh~
finally: the winners for the A1 category..
estatic Syuen cos he got the cap thrown down from the podium! behind him are some umbrella girls.. not the best-dressed though..
it ended with a 5-miute fireworks display.. first time ever! =)
