Back to old school. :)

Okay, fuck em' emo posts. Imma happy boi now! :D

To be honest, I was trying to find a solo picture of me smiling big, but I was too lazy instead I camwhored with my webcam, and guess what, I found back my camwhoring mojo! Yeahhh!! -,- pfft. I had to excuse myself away from my room mate cause' I was syoksendiri-ing so excessively and he was giving me this weird look, whatever.

Anyway, wooshh, its been a while since my last normal, un-emo post. As most of you know, I recently went on vacation to UK, YES FREAKING UK!! ARGGGHHH!! :D

Let me tell you, that place is SOOO AMAZING! I mean, you watch in movies how the British accent sound like, and how the Brits act and eat and everything in between, guess what, its all the same!! I mean the Brits are NOT snobbish at all, they are so friendly, they are so nice, they are so helpful, they are so AWESOME!

So, from London, to Birmingham, to Stafford, to Manchester, to Sheffield, back to London, to Exeter, back to London, flew to Berlin, and back to Moscow. In total, it was around 17 days, 17 days of pure heaven, haaaaaaaaa.. *Angel's symphony*

Throughout my journey, I used a DSLR to shoot most of my pictures, and my laptop cannot recognize all of em'. I am still waiting for my picture converter which is with my friend. -,-

Anyway, there are still some piccas that I used my normal camera to shoot.

# if you don't know any of the above, please go and bang the wall with your head tqvm.

My normal camera was mostly used for vlogging purposes and I didn't really much attention of using it to take piccas, but at least you get to see something right? :) I will get the converter one day, *crosses heart*.

Peace out. :)

If

If only I could tell you,

how attractive your smile is.

If only I could tell you,

how much I crave to be with you everyday.

If only I could tell you,

how much I miss you.

If only I could tell you,

how much, I love you.

If only..

I miss you

Its like walking through a busy street, at the wee hours in the morning, but all I see, is your face.

Everywhere I go, I look at the ground, I look at the sky, I look at the skyscrapers, I only see you

Its like, I pretend for you to be beside me, walking with me, talking to me, laughing with me.

Your smile has been locked in my head, its like a virus that keeps on infecting me, and the only antibiotic, is you

Its like, every time I think of you, my smile fades away, my eyes gazes to the far, my speech deactivates, my heart stops pumping for a second, my whole world turns silence, and I take a deep, deep breath, knowing that you're the only one that can bring light to me at that very moment

Its like, I keep on thinking about you, all the time, knowing that maybe, you don't even remember me, and whats the point of me wasting my time missing a person that does not even care about me, kills right to the core of my heart

Its like, every time you come into my mind, I feel some parts of me are missing

then only to realize, its my heart, because you stole it away from me.. the very first time, when you took my breath away..

I miss you.

Too much.

whatever

i know its been awhile since i updated my blog.

but im getting kinda lazy updating it, there was one time that i was actually in the mood of blogging, and i actually typed out quite a long text, and then i deleted it. its like everything lost at that moment and i just, don't feel like blogging anymore.. at that moment.

but, i am still gonna keep my blog just in case i might, might, need it one day.. where that one particular day arrives, and there's no one there for me to rely on, lean on, trust on..

and when my world do come down on me..

thats the day, where i turn to you again, for comfort, for shelter..

a place for my soul.

from Moscow,

regarding about the previous post,

where i ask y'll to stay tuned for the next 'exciting' post,

its not gonna happen,

just go on my facebook and check out the pictures.

thats it, goodbye for now.

maybe one day, my blogging mojo will return, who knows?

Summer Holiday Trilogy. [Tre] - part 1

i've said before that i will save the best for last, remember? alright its gonna be looooooooong, so here it comes..

in 2 months of my summer holiday, i have done so many things that i would never even imagine that i would possibly do, and at the very end of the my summer holiday, i did something that means the whole world to me. I participated in a voluntary work involving medical students studying in Moscow, to go on Missions to help poor, unfortunate people around South East Asia, and Russia. and its called, The Malaysian Fellowship Missions.

its a Non-profit Organisation which consist of almost all medical students studying in Moscow Medical Academy and Russian State Medical University. and i got to know about the missions thing when i was in 1st year. Herman, now a graduated full-fledge Doctor, was the person that actually inspired and sparked the flame in me to participate in these missions. i wanna thank him in person so badly, because without him, i wont the same person as i am now. so THANK YOU!

this MF missions was found by a Malaysian student, named Dalvinder Singh. and the best part is he's from Kuantan, HOLAAA! :D he also graduated and is a Doctor now. he started the missions 3 years ago. the amazing part is the growth in participants, 3 years ago, only 20 students, then it gradually increased to 120, and this year, we have 350 participants, roughly i guess. pretty awesome huh? :D and i was one of them HAH!

so, the missions were all over SEA, countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Russia, India, Cambodia.. etc were involved, and i was lucky enough to be in Team Philippines. and we were the pioneer team to do missions there, aha. :)

7 team members were heading to Philippines, Boss : Andrew Kok, Assistant Boss : Sylas Sebastian, team members : me, Kim Joibi, Radhikkha, Kate Chuah and Pan Ting Sun (who is studying in Volvograd, another town in Russia which is 8 hours away from Moscow). lucky number 7.

#LCCT

# and me. :)

# AirAsia is just a true blessing to all the missions. THANK YOU!

and so, we flied to Manila then to a city down south of Philippines with Philippine Airlines, called Davao City.

# Ass. Boss's name were on a sign in the Clarkfield Aiport. :D

# Manila International Airport

we arrived at Davao City and Heidi, our mission leader who was local, came to fetch us in her huge four-wheeled drive. and we went makan then off to a backpacker's place, i guess. it was very comfortable.

the next day, we were off to our mission destination, which is a village, deep deep DEEP inside the hills of Davao (i am so sorry but i really forgotten the name of the village, i am an epic fail i know). and the one of the best part is, we get to go up the hills with a truck with an open backside, wait that sounded wrong.. ahhhhh nevermind just look at the pictures then you'll understand ..

# got what i mean? :p

# the driver of the entire journey up the hill, most left. im sorry again for the obvious reason of not remembering names, i am failure thank you very much. -.-''

it was SOOOO AWESOME!! getting to ride at the behind of truck and wooing and jerking like a sakai who just came out of the forest at everyone who passes our vehicle, amazing. and also wanna give thanks to the driver as i mention before. he has been such a great help to the whole team and is just a blessing to have him. short info about him, he's a Missionary from Switzerland and have been staying in Davao City for almost 20 years now. he has been to so many missions up the villages in the mountains that he can speak so many of their different native dialects and languages, FLUENTLY! one of our team members, Kimberly Joibi, the girl in the above picture with the tongue sticking out, she's of half Kadazan (if i am not mistaken) and of half Philipino, and she was starstruck when she heared him speak, like literally O.O, aha..

and so, we went up the hills, the journey took us about 5 and a half hours. and we were nicely sun-tanning at the back seat, enjoying nature, saying hi to random people on the way. during the way up, we stopped by a small village to visit a native Christian school, where the headmaster's brother is working at the village that we were going to have our missions at.

# the headmaster is the 5th one from the left.

# on our way up. ;)

alright this post is gonna be in 2 or 3 parts because this is worth telling the entire story. more exciting ones to come, stay tuned! :D

i met this kid when we're on our way to Manila Aiport

he is one of the CUTEST boy i have ever met!

he was just clinging to me like a monkey clinging to a tree

the mum is the one behind

and he cried when the mum took him away from me

me too.. almost :)

and i will never, NEVER ever forget him

coz he left his little footprints in my heart that nothing can ever wipe it away..

Summer Holiday Trilogy. [Due]

ok where did i stop? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. owh ya, the short but fantastic family vacation. yeah it was definitely memorable, me and my mum talking about.. basically everything, from her childhood, to her teenage life, to her university life, to her marriage life and how i suck at being a filial son, whatever.. im just kidding.

but me and mum are like really, really close. 'duhhhhhhhh.. dude, you're from her.' ok yeah, but still some of my friends, when they skype with their mums or dads, all they say is :'' ya everything is fine here. ya i have enough money, oh no wait! i think you need to bank in a little bit more. ya the weather here is cold. ya mum of course i am eating properly here. yes mother i have been studying, and no i am not on the laptop e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.. ok mum fine, i will go and study after this. *rolls eyes*'..'' bla bla bla.. and with all the usual heart-warming conversation that really bring tears to the eyes.. -.-''

ok im being carried away, where was i?.. ohya summer vacation ya. alright, so after the short family break, did i mentioned it was totally fantastic? i did right.. lol. and so after that. another afs activity! since every year Kuantan has been receiving quite a handful of exchange students and honestly, im very proud of my mother, because of her AFS is known in Kuantan and the afs office trust in our ability to host more students. that means more work. -.-

and so, the exchange students have been hosted in Kuantan for almost 1 month, to date (they're here for year program exchange, one year in Malaysia). and according to afs protocol, we are suppose to have an arrival orientation for all the students. so since i was in my hometown, me and my friend, another AFS volunteer decided to volunteer for this orientation. we had this orientation in Sungai Lembing, a small village at the outskirts of Kuantan, approximately 25km away from town. i have to say, its one of the most charming and traditional Chinese villages thats still existing in Pahang, it is now a hot tourist attraction spot. and this village also used to be the biggest tin-mining area in the ENTIRE world. pretty cool huh? :)

instead of me blabbing, i present..

# a huge ass centipede. more like a kilopede -.-

# one of the main reason to climb the infamous Sungai Lembing Mountain.

# and voila, the epic reason to climb the mountain. simply breathtaking. :)

sorry for the lack of piccas, stoopid hostel line is KILLING ME!

STAY TUNED! i saved the BEST for LAST!! im too lazy to continue -.-

from Russia, with love,

be good

be safe

play hard

play safe

i'll miss y'll. :(

Summer Holiday Trilogy. [Uno]

alright alright i know.. jesus christ its been 3 months since i last visited my own blog, OMG! even when i am back home in Malaysia i didnt even bother to update this baby. i am so sorry :(

well, lets say that my life's been very full and daily blogging is NOT my thing. but i've got loads of stories and pictures to share with y'll..

as most of you know, i am studying in Moscow and all the Malaysian students here got to go back to our home country during summer holiday for 2 months, and it was last 2 months. nobody was left behind, and i have to say my summer holiday was a BLAST! i have never thought i would have the ability to do so many things in just 2 months, and my mom takes 2 months to just get out of the bathroom.. :D

for the first week i arrived, my home-brother, Mr. Kaesee Woon invited me and my friend to Singapore, and i've never seen him in like God-knows-how-long, so off we went to visit him.

# host

# the Russians and the Singaporean, konon-nya. ;)

i really had a great time in Singapore, not to mention that i bloody hell-ly lost my beloved wallet to some idiotic mindless soul sucking losers, other than that it was an awesome trip! thanks for having us there and i really appreciate it. thanks bro! :)

as you all know i am avid fan of AFS, for those who don't know, its an exchange program for students to go abroad to other countries to experience different culture and be exposed to different people and different languages. and i am a returnee from this AFS exchange program and am currently a volunteer for AFS, where we help out during orientations when students from other foreign countries come to Malaysia for student exchange. (side note : we don't really help out, more of create 'chaos' and have fun!)

so back from Singapore, immediately i have to rush to KL the next day for an AFS arrival orientation, which was in a hotel near Monorail Station Maharajalela. so for 3 days i was there with other volunteers, omg the fun we had, the work we did, the laughter we shared, the stress we underwent.. all was worth it.

# us.

it was definitely memorable and it was a hell of an experience. yeah we make mistakes and tumble on rocks once in a while, but it is a learning process, its not easy to be an AFS volunteer. a volunteer once said :'' before every orientation, i have to go visit a Psychiatrist to get prepared for them..'' LOL, its funny but true.. but in the end, we really, really had fun and i made some incredible friends on the way. once an AFS volunteer, always an AFS volunteer.. and i am proud to be one. :)

and of course i did spend time with my family, because my mum was like moody and emo-ing at the fact that i didn't really spend much time with her and also for the fact that i am only back here for 2 months. so, since my dad coincidently had a meeting at Genting, my mum decided that we all go there for a short family break..

# on our way there.

unfortunately it was only a day trip so not much pictures were taken, although, i have to say, i really enjoyed myself spending time with my family, especially my mum, yayyyy for mummy! :D so after my dad finished his meeting, we went back straight to Kuantan. (my hometown)

omg there's SOOOO much more that i wanna talk about my summer holiday, and i should save the best for last. part 2 is coming out soon! :D i hope..

from Russia, with love,

i would soooooooo do you when im back home.. *drools*
