The irony of it...just when I'm 3 ticks away from being able to shamelessly brag "I've visited all 7 wonders of the world"...comes a new list created! (And they've also started a list for new 7 natural wonders at http://www.natural7wonders.com/)(Number 5 of my list of things to do:)Visit all seven modern wonders of the worldOLD LIST· Eiffel Tower (done!)· Great Wall of China (done!)· Taj Mahal of

This morning waking up, I've got smses greeting "Happy Anniversary". Then it struck that it's been a full year since the roller coaster ride in Paris.I've still not gathered my feelings and mood to really write about my working life, though close friends are fully aware from the few words that sprouts....like "busy lor"...."surviving"....."same lor"......my only burning question: "IS THIS ALL TO

Figured it's time to put something up, though I'm sure most have already drifted away from expecting new here. Was scrambling through my laptop(did not really touch it for 2 months) and discovered something I wrote for the new year, but did not think was anything interesting to post up. Weird enough, reading back now, it really brought myself walking down memory lane...:)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In another less than 12 hours time will mark the beginning of a new journey. A journey where I will be challenged even more greatly on every aspect.I've been mentally prepared for this phase of life almost one year ago, ever since I was back from Beijing. Not hard to put together if you already knew how I dreaded the monotony of myacademic training.One year ago. That’s how stretched my reservoir

It’s going to be a full year since the crazy ride across the East Coast and only now do I find the mood or motivation to start penning down the journey in black and white. When I try to recall back about the trip, it’s more like bits of a jigsaw puzzle and I would dwell furtively on the missing pieces. That day, I was just trying to recall what’s the name of the beach in Pahang we so magically

Rhythmic jazz of “Sunday Morning”,A deep voice singing to me,Tears from laughter,Tears you flow with close ones,First whiff of air in a foreign land,The familar smell of home,Heart thumping from infatuation,The lullaby of his heart beat,The adrenaline of the new,The peacefulness of contemplation,The beauty of both worlds.

The Valkyries: An Encounter with Angels by Paulo Coelho"Some people feel that they are alive only when they are facing challenges. They are the hunters, and for them it is the only way to achieve their power. For others it is the way of the farmer, and it is on that path that they find their power." I’m almost definitely a hunter. I guess everyone who knows me will say so too without blinking an

Living is an art, because art is about knowing what mistakes we need to learn from and move on, and what mistakes to keep.I guess when they say this, they are talking about the artistic process of a painter, when he (well, most famous ones are male) dabs a little too much of that awfully bright pink paint on those….clouds and presto! We have given birth to a some new neo-classical chapter in the

Yesterday would have been my convocation, but under some unplanned circumstances, I was not on stage wearing that square hat.It was the same old familiar sights. Cars circling UTM trying to find a parking. Families dressed in their best with their happy son/daughter hands full of flowers and a teddy or two. Friends posing in their jubbahs, trying to capture all those four/five years of

Suddenly remembered about wanting to find out about the terminal guy, which both me and Jess suspect we met at the Charles de Gaulle, Paris airport. And it is indeed true! We did not talk to him and he looked quite intimidating, but it really felt as if I saw red riding hood come alive.http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0621/p11s02-almo.html

Returning from a mentally and physically exhausting trip in Europe, I had some time adjusting back to routine life. Well, depending on what's routine, since I had always been sleeping with a European biological clock ticking inside. Having classes ONLY in the evenings/nights only encourages this habit. Some things will need a major “excuse” before change comes.The previous weekend saw me making a

Comprehensive Catch-upYes, just had one of the most comprehensive catch-up with girlfriend, Woon who has been to many places. It took us less than half an hour because she's blogging too. Meet her at http://huiwoont.blogspot.com. We used to be coursemate, roommate, housemate, sometimes carpool-mate, cycling-mate. She used to think that Sarawakians exaggerate and lie a lot and play stupid pranks,

Man! Boy do I want to rush over to get a ticket to Penang this moment! As I told Jiin Joo a moment ago, I just want to see some crazy band members strutting their stuff, me shouting at the top of my lungs like crazy too, and then, the best part, sweating my pants off when they announce the results.

~While heading to L'oreal Brandstorm National Final Briefings~I type this as I sat at the backseat of a proton Iswara speeding to KL at 130km/hr. After juggling around and wondering how should I calculate the column wall thickness of a distillation column, I festered to get into blogging mode since the occasional jerks is not doing any good to my poor chemical-engineering challenged mind.Not that

After some absent-minded musings on Microsoft Word, blog reading and getting showered by rants, I've finally decided to make an entrance into the world of BLOGS ;).
