Packing



We will be going to Malacca tomorrow, and after that, me and my friends will be heading for different directions. Tonight, I was packing my stuff, and suddenly the familiar depressing feelings haunted me again.

Maybe I really love this place very much. Too much memories here. Well, this symptom will not stay very long I think. Just let it be for the meantime.

Take good care everybody.

I'm on a train

I took a train to go home today. Yeah, there's a train station just in front of my house. I have been listening to the "toot-toot" sound produced by traditional trains since I was a kid, and slowly these voices have changed to another more annoying one, which is the keep-on-repeating announcer who announces the trains arrival. I miss the "toot-toot"s. I can hardly hear them nowadays.

It's been a long time since I last sat on a train alone. I like this feeling of sitting inside a train, when everyone around you are strangers, and you can choose to observe them, or just look outside the window, while listening to your favorite music in your walkman.

Today, I just remembered the existence of my FZ-5 in my bag, and I just simply snapped some photos.



The train has arrived.


It's raining soon, but the cables still stay where they. They have no way to go.


The railway


A children playground by the river side.


An old storeroom beside the railway. Used to store goods to be transported I think.


There are some malay kampungs on the way to my house. In fact, my house is located near to malay kampungs.


Stopped by another train station. To reach my house, I'll need to stop by more than 10 train stations.


Houses along the railway.


A lady who brought a radio along. She held her radio like this all along her journey.


A sign in the train. Although it is in a very large size, and it is very very obvious, but you can still always see Malaysians misuse the seats. :)

Graduate



Yes, I'm physically, mentally, technically considered graduate from MMU with a BIT(Hons). Although the convocation is on August (and I'm still not sure whether I can get my MUET results before that in order to join the convo), but I'm still excited after finishing my last paper.

Taking pictures is the only thing we could do to be able to keep everyone's face for a long long time. During these 3 years, I didn't actually get to know many of our coursemates, and my social life is just limited to my few people here, until these last few weeks I only really get to know more of my coursemates with the same major, and really talked to them. It's great, although it's the last few days. Better than not knowing them at all. These guys are great. Our major really have lotsa smart cool guys and gals eh. Haha.

We took lotsa photos, and exchanged contact numbers. I'm glad that this important stage in my life is memorable, with lotsa nice people here accompanying me to finish my studies. Thanks to all who walked me along this 3 years, and those whom I just started to know, but was in the same class for many subjects. Hmm, bit regret to know you guys this late. Ha. Keep in touch la.

Keep in touch, and I'm gonna miss you guys.

Time flies



Time flies. Really. I can still remember clearly how it's like during the orientation week when I just entered MMU, with a stupid face, and suddenly I'm done with my Final Year Presentation yesterday, and submitted my last report for my degree courses just now.

I'm lost.

I just don't know what feeling I'm having now. Lil bit of depression, lil bit of excitement, but feel depress more at this time. I know I'm gonna miss my buddies here. Ker, who has accompanied me, supported me, taught me so many things from the first day I knew her during the orientation week, thank you so so so much. It's great to know you. You're great. Gonna miss you very much. Our team-mate + battle-mate, Huili, you're another great person here too. Wish you all the best in your future. Smile more woh! We have went through so many sleepless nights together, rushing to submit our projects before the clock strikes 5pm everytime(including the last project just now). Yeah, I'm definitely gonna miss this kinda life. FYP presentation is a great ending for our degree life here eh. And of course I wanna thank Jo too, who has shared with me so many great things in life, and brought colors into my dull life. You rock! Thanks for making my life meaningful and thanks for supporting me all the way.

Keep in touch gals!

It's great to know great people here, although only a few, but it's not about quantity. I'm very lucky to have all of you. These 3 years are like a dream. I'm grateful to went through it with you gals, and happy to have a piece of good memory to be recalled back when I'm old later. Of course, I wanna thank every single person I met here too. Thanks for coming into my life. Thank all the lecturers here, especially those good ones. :D

Haiz. This post is very unorganized, like how my mind is like right now. I just don't know what to say now. Just feel lost, like a rubber band (or a better example, "Mua Ji" in Shogun :D)getting tensed by pulling it from both side and suddenly let go of it.

Every single moment here in MMU will be stored in a drawer inside my brain. I will keep it forever.
Thank you everyone.

Gonna miss you guys!

p/s: Maybe I'll feel more depress after my last paper next thursday.. Haha.. Then you'll see another more unorganized post with my tears on it. Hahaha..

Nice gig.



I just came back from my weekly gig@Chynna, Hilton KL. It's quite tiring to go out to KL which is a 45mins driving distance using my lil Wira, but sometimes it's a breakaway too from all these pressure here.

My partner today is Ms Joyathi. I enjoyed playing with her, and eventually, she's the one I enjoyed playing with most, other than my teacher Stephanie. As a common practise among chinese traditional music players like us, music score is an essential thing in a gig, but we don't bring music scores when we know we're playing together. That makes me enjoyed the gig more when I can focus in what I'm playing, focus in thinking what to be played in the accompaniment music line in real time. It's very challenging, and we enjoyed it very much. She's a very 'quick' player, with quick response, and very sensitive to music. That's what made the whole night so great when what we're playing is really music, with feeling inside. Sometimes hard to get this kinda chemistry when I am playing with others.

Hmm. Done with the "appreciating session" for today. Time to go back to my switch simulator to be hand up tomorrow.

Countdown to graduation: 2 weeks
