Its a little sad.

I managed to salvage a few photos from my Bentong trip where I met up with Amelia and Serene. Still wish I could’ve gotten more back though. That’s what you get from a second-hand CF card that came from my dad =.=

Anyways, here are the pics!

We actually met up with Amelia first at a small chinese food court, bumped into her cousin Louis, it was just so awesome to see the both of them again. Its been so long since we all saw each other at YAC. Sadly the pics were lost somehow cos my CF card got corrupted. I even got to ride on Amelia’s bike! For the first time ever, I rode on a motorcycle! Pretty fun actually. Serene met up with us at the food court and we all headed up to a small durian orchard. Took pics there too, but like I said, lost thanks to the stupid CF card =.=

Fast forwarding the events of that day, bought A LOT of durians, and headed to the waterfalls Bentong is so famous for.

See?

To actually get up to where we were standing, it was a little difficult cos of the rock face and I personally regret wearing my white adidas shoes….=.= personal note to self: never wear nice shoes when you KNOW you’re going to a waterfall.

lol Dad and Amelia.

Saw this small dragonfly flying around the spot I was taking photos at, but couldn’t get a good enough shot. I NEED A MACRO LENS.

Eric scolded me after he found out the settings I used for taking some of the photos I did in sunlight. lol.

There were plenty of heroes that day at the waterfall, it was packed, and many were stand near the part where the some of the water crashes hard on the rocks

Pretty awesome, those waterfalls.

lol I miss them already.

Went to this awesome place after, where they had indian rojak, nasi campur, and ice kacang. Oh, and THEY MADE THEIR OWN ICE CREAM. HOW COOL IS THAT. Unfortunately, the CF card died on me, and I only manage to recover a few of those photos. To be more exact, one from that place.

It was some pretty amazing stuff.

Thanks Amelia and Serene for showing us around Bentong! Love you guys! Great friends are they. He who shows me durians shall be called my brother. LOL

I actually went for Sherwin’s dinner party later that day with the camera, but that’s where it died on me. =.=

Fast forwarding even more, graduation came, and my camera was still messed up, so I the ol’ blue lumix was going to have suffice for photos.

Woke up with a few butterflies in the stomach. Did the usual routine in getting ready, only this time, I was getting a little dressed up for graduation at school.

You can clearly see the difference between a compact digital and a digital SLR…..haiz….even though things were as bad as they were, had to make do with what I had.

Was taking a few pics in class but a lot came out very noisy, so decided to edit them

Yew Wei, the all around Accounts Pro. Desmond, the best KAI you can find in all of SMKDU. Loong Sheng, my partner in crime. Thanks for being there for me these past two years guys.

FARAWAR!!!! One of the female besties. I’m still better than you at english. Thanks for being there for me through the rough and tough girl. I know I’ve got a friend in you :D Although I kinda forgot how we met…

Yours truly. teehee.

Don’t know what I’d do without my cina boys. Like U-whye and Ming Chal. Both invaluable friends.

LOL not forgetting you my friend, Wei Lun. Sorry for all the times I did stupid stuff, like shooting rubber bands at you, accidentally sticking gum in your hair, among other things…I still remember when I first met you in form 1, you barely knew the English language. And I barely knew any form of Chinese. 5 years have passed, your English has improved tremendously, and my Chinese………….well your English has improved!!!

Its been one helluva ride, from SMK Tropicana up till DU. Who knew we’d be where we are now? So say hello to the end product of 5 years of friendship.

And as I’m writing this post, you’ve turned 17. Happy Birthday Bro. Thanks for everything. :)

Zikri, I actually don’t know you that well. But I do remember you from SKDU, and you made one heck of a ketua kelas last year. Rock on bro.

Afiq K. ahh….KANAPKORN!!!!!!! Still remember you from SKDU, I can’t believe you can fit into your SKDU Red House t-shirt. 0.0

And Nawin, lol nothing much there is to say about you. You’re Nawin! I still remember meeting you in SKBUD3. lol good times…that’s where I got my first head injury!

It felt like I was in Harry Potter. I hated it. LOL it was so hot that day the gowns themselves were like personal saunas. But we still mustered up the spirit to take photos in class after putting them on.

Justwin and Fazira. In reality, I’m taller than both of you. Bah I’ll let you have your day. lol

Made a quick visit to Cendana. Lol Wein and Louis. Wein was one of the first friends I made when I came to DU. Things changed a lot since then huh? Lol you’ll always be one of my best friends.

AMIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you ever read this, just know I’m going to miss everything I ever ate that you cooked. You’ve been a great mentor, friend, and sort of den mother. Love ya.

Sort…of…camwhored before we went to the hall. BUT IT WAS ONLY ONE PHOTO.

Lol Akmal. I tell you, you look fine la.

I’m sorry Eric, this is the only proper pic I have of you. Let me rephrase that. This is the ONLY pic I have of you from graduation. Sorry I didn’t bring my DSLR. But thanks for everything bro. Still remember meeting you in form 3. 3 Mawar was legendary man. Lol still remember Good Charlotte? Don’t forget Safari…. ;)

My camera sort of got “stolen” while I was in the hall. BULU.

LOL I have no idea how Jun got in here.

My camera got stolen again after the ceremony by Desmond and Wei Lun. =.=

Lol Pn Azizah and Pn Rafidah. Thanks for everything and for not giving up on us. Thanks Pn. Tang for all the Maths lessons, even though Wei Lun didn’t really need them. lol

Thanks Pn Paramjeet, for pushing me further in English. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t think I would’ve taken the ICAS English Exam. I was fun being AJK English this year.

And to my favourite teacher of all time, PN ANNE!!!!!!!!

There's not limit to how much I can thank you for all the teaching you gave us all, and especially to me. You definitely stand out amongst all the teachers who’ve taught me.

Teacher if you’re reading this, just remember that I speak for 5 Penaga and myself when I say, we LOVE YOU.

To the rest of my great friends, I’m sorry I didn’t take photos with you, just lemme know on facebook, and I’ll get them from you and post them up on the blog! The Lumix was not THAT reliable so go figure.

It won't be soon before long....

Haven't been updating much have I?
Apologies, there's just been too much going on, and no CF card to store the memories in =.=
Lemme try blogging with less than one photo for once in a long time.

Graduation's coming up, so it should be great.


I suppose.


A little weird don't you think? Maybe some of you may be past this juncture or you're still a long way from it, but I'm at it right now, and I can tell you, there's never been a weirder feeling.
Try to imagine, last time when you always went to kindergarten, how fun it was?
It was like the good times would never end, what with nap times, snack times, learning your ABC's.

Ah......good times.

Secondary's a little like that, maybe more or less fun, we'll still miss it don't you think?
For 11 years school became an integral part of our lives, yet we didn't notice.
We've been going to school for so long, we didn't stop to think about life without it.
We've always been in such a hurry to grow up, to leave school, to go out into the world and leave it all behind.
But now we're here, caught in this moment, now.

It sucks that we're graduating before SPM and not after.

Time to grasp every little bit of time we have left with each other eh mates?


Its times like these which make you look back on your entire schooling life.
Like remember when we first went into Primary 1?
A few here and there were kicking and screaming, many just not used to the idea of leaving kindy or home for that matter. I remember I used to hate school. I even hid under my bed till the school bus stopped honking its horn and left just so I could skip school.
Now I'm finding it a little hard to imagine life without it.

I'll miss a lot of my friends. I'll miss a lot of my teachers (some more than others if you know what I mean. X) ) I'll really miss some particular people.
I'm just not at liberty to say.

I find it difficult to imagine no longer walking down the hallway, bumping into classmates and schoolmates. And just plain acting like idiots because its just so damn fun.

More thoughts on this matter after graduation.

Not as epic, but still fun.

Its been some time since I posted something up, mainly because I’ve just been dam lazy to edit photos so here they are anyways.

About two Fridays back, I went over to Eric’s place after tuition to stay over as we were going for the Canon Camerathon the next day at Sunway Lagoon. Oh yea, going to try to cut down on single posts with many photos, so instead going to try out many posts with not so many photos. Heh.

We were prepping our gear for the next day. Eric’s worked out to be about 6 kilos, minus spare clothes and food, and tripod. Mine was about 2kgs plus? Prepping our gear was like Spec Ops prepping their weapons before operations….sorry…been playing too many military games lately lol :P

Didn’t take that many photos in Eric’s house, was a little tired. Oh yea, and the coldest place in TTDI isn’t some freezer or something, its in Eric Goh’s room. lol. Woke up the next morning like the heroes we are at about 6.00 and got ready for the day. Got there around 7-ish, registered ourselves and had to walk down the elephant walk which was at some points 45 degrees, which was no fun running down with all the gear we had.

By the time we got there, we got an small idea of how big the crowd was and what type of gear they were carrying. Lol Eric got intimidated by the number of Mark II’s and lenses he saw. Forget Eric, people used 350D’s (my cam’s model) as spare cams…..=.=

Joee and Chen were supposed to show up a little earlier, but they didn’t really miss anything….Eric and I went to the amphitheatre where everyone was waiting: I was only taking photos of half the amphitheatre, so yea you can guess how big it was 0.0The girls showed up with Chen’s sis though she had to leave early, so we chilled where we were whilst they were telling us rules and regulations, the themes of the photos we were going to take. There were 3 themes. The 1st, Splash, the 2nd, Red, and the 3rd, Shooting in Progress.Then the entire amphitheatre started to move when they officially launched the event. It was like a friggin’ Red Army. My right foot’s companion for the day. I think I’ll call him…..Red.

Walked a little further up the amphitheatre and took a few pics from there: Headed for Surf Beach and set up shop there The girls played around with our cams whilst we set up our tripods in the water Lol this uncle was taking a nap whilst everyone else was busy looking for shots

Had an idea for the 2nd theme, whaddya think?

Eric had an idea for the first theme. So we bought water for the girls only to throw the bottles into the water. Lol

Used Eric’s zoom lens for some of the pics I took. At first they didn’t allow us on the suspension bridge but later in the day people went there by the boatloads…..lol joee and yihling didn’t want to go on it

Oh yea there was some photoshoot going on too

It was a pretty fun-filled day, full of walking, oh yea I got to race on the go-karts with Eric! Hadn’t had that much fun in a while. Sorry la folks for the lack of captions and descriptions, just been a little busy and no mood lately….SPM screws things up. But I 100% assure you things’ll look up after all the papers are over!

The following week, after Maths tuition, Desmond and Wei Lun followed me out to go pass some things to Eric and to help me look for something I’ve been meaning to get to give to someone special for a long time.

Lol I don’t see how they could smile in the heat man =.=

Coming from the library, we came across this van with a punctured tyre….so it was pretty random, just took a shot of it.

Went to 7-11 so Wei Lun could get a Slurpee…they were having this contest or something so decided to take a pic, didn’t submit it in the end lol. Thanks guys for following me all around that day, don’t know what I’d do without you

After Desmond and I came back from our unfruitful search, his mom came to pick him up from my house. I just had to take a picture. lol

words begin to leave me as all I’m left with is memories of you.
