Leaving Cendana

Exam is over. I am an angel flying around with nothing on my mind :)

And at last, it is time to move. Cemara, a place with everything and at the same time, a place whose hostel condition has received uncountable negative comments. One year plus has passed with us staying in this room. Memories are created and will remain lingering in our little brains. Writing this to remember those times I had in this hostel unit.

Of Shin, the busiest person I have ever known.
He is forever busy. He has infinity of work to do. He is hyperactive and vibrant. He drinks Livita very often. He stays in the study room below. A guitar put in his hands can become the nicest music ever,or the most rocking noise ever. His name is Jong Khai Shin.

Of Mukhlis, the only Malay in my hostel unit.
He is very hardworking. He is the mayor of a city, that is, in City Ville (I don't know the name). He likes Biology, from what I see. Unfortunately, a few days before we move, I found out about his true personality, especially when he can't sleep when he actually needs to sleep. LOL. He can be funny at times. Very funny. I am glad I get to know you, Mukhlis.

Of Zheng Fong, the national swimmer in my room.
He is very addicted to Dota. And he plays cheat sometimes. Haha.. He swims like a shark, maybe even faster than one. He was known as Pentium Pro. He created the memory in Pangkor, and we really thank him for that. He always woke up in the morning and jumped down from the bunker bed with a loud thud, even though I seldom hear it this often nowadays because he always woke up later than me.

Of Jin Hong, the rabbit.
He is very lang jeng, most of the time. He likes to eat cake. Being the cleanest person in the room, he likes to clean the room. And he likes to sing a lot. He likes mathematics. The cardinal word in his dictionary is "Weee~"

Of Guo Kang, the genius in my unit.
He sleeps like a pig, even though he is supposed to be a dog. He doesn't usually study, but still he scores in the tests. He understands Mandarin, but people often assume that he doesn't. He is a nice person, once you get to know him. He plays all sorts of games, except dota. He likes cheese cake.

Raya Holiday

I am not a keen blogger. I don’t blog every single day. The initial purpose of my blog was to keep track of the things that I’ve been doing in my life. The purpose remains so.

Two weeks of holiday are nearly over. I met up with my friends, I celebrated by birthday, I went for an overnight at my friend’s house, I ate kampua and mooncakes, and I watched a lot of movies. I jogged every two days, and I do some push-ups and sit-ups everyday to keep myself fit. After this holiday I will go straight into the exam halls. I have been studying, not really into it, but hopefully I will do well in the coming exam.

My birthday was normal. Nothing impressive really happened. It will be my last birthday here before the 3 years overseas. The celebration is not important. I just hope I have cherished my time here more. The present from my friends was a bit unique, but I’m not really sure it will be of any use. Next time buy a more practical one, okay? I would choose a headphone over that, seriously. But again, will there be a next time? :( I guess the greatest moment of that day was when I opened the present she gave me a few weeks ago. I have to say, her birthday card was really pretty. Kind of revoke my longing to draw using water colors. Haha..miss those times.

Coincidentally, my birthday fell on the first day of Raya. And in case you don’t know, or you’ve forgotten, Sibu people celebrate Raya using firework. Chinese style. LOL. And the second day was the Independence Day of Malaysia. So I heard a lot of firework sounds on my birthday.

The next day I went to stay overnight at Kuen Luen’s house. Playing Dota all day as usual. We really enjoyed ourselves I think. Lose or win, doesn’t matter. As long as the atmosphere and fun are there. I slept the earliest that day, partially because of my promise to my parents and girlfriend that I would sleep early. And I woke up the earliest too. Oh yeah, good job!

Once in a year, for three years in a row, I will visit my closest Malay friend, Haziq during Hari Raya. This year we went as a gang. Had a great time there chatting and taking photos. Lawrence, being insanely crazy over photo-shooting after getting his DSLR, did his non-stop clicking as expected. And I think those pictures on this entry are all taken by him.

Three more days and I will be away from home again. Every time I come back I will miss my home more. I guess the feeling of leaving Malaysia is daunting me. Wondering, will I miss my home badly when I go oversea? Only time can tell.
