Young and free

People say to pursue your dreams and do whatever your heart desires, do it while you are young and never regret in the future. I have decided to cut my hair afterall. It has been a long year. Kept my hair for a year and a few weeks, remembered the last time I cut was before taking my visa photograph. It grew pretty well and it kept eating my food, getting into my mouth  getting in my way. It was so long it touched my nose and mouth. I have always wanted to leave my hair long but never had the chance to. Therefore, going to UK was one of my excuses for not cutting my hair, it was expensive to cut my hair in the UK; I need long hair to keep my head warm; I was lazy.  So that is how I look like after a year of not cutting my hair. This accessory has been a very good friend, it has been by my side for so long, supporting me no matter the circumstances, in rain or in shine. In actual fact, it belongs to my sister and I borrowed it for such a long time...

Back To The Forest

Came back to Semenyih last night. Today marks the day I begin my Final Year in Chemical with Environmental Engineering. Also, marks the last year in which I will be studying, after this NO MORE STUDYING but work work work. Others say to enjoy studying because once you start working, you will miss studying. Just like how I can't wait for semester to start as I have rotted enough at home. The grass is always greener on the other side I suppose. Foreseeing more hectic days ahead, sleepless nights and lots of reading. Did I sign up for this? Well yes I enjoy reading, but to design and research about something I am not interested in definitely wasn't in the description. Well, I guess I just have to suffer  for another 9 months before the other chapter of life begins - JOB APPLICATIONS, which of course leads to the working life. Since I have to be more serious and focused in my final year of study, I deleted DotA 2 from my laptop last night. EVERYTHING. NO BACKUPS. ...

Exactly a year ago, on this date, I was leaving on a plane to a place far away from home to study. Instead of wishing me Happy Birthday, they wish me well on my journey overseas to study. I didn't have cake like usual, just red eggs. Today, coincidentally is the mooncake festival. No cake CAKE, but I got to eat some mooncake. I miss eating cake. Today I am older, but it is just a number. Life goes on Have I grown wiser? More matured? Maybe just a little...

Kem Muhibah

Image
2 months ago(6th & 7th July 2013), I took part in an Interfaith Camp - Kem Muhibah. It was it's first of it's kind and it went pretty well. It was organised by JKMPKA(Jawatankuasa Mempromosikan Persefahaman dan Kerharmonian Antara Peganut Agama or  Committee to Promote Understanding and Harmony Among Religious Adherents ). Since I was having my summer break and my friend was part of the board of committees, I decided to participate in this camp. There were Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus, and Muslims. The camp was held for only 2 days but I had plenty of fun and learnt many things about each others' religion. Each group consists of approximately 7 to 8 members and were of different religions. One of our tasks were to tour around the KL Sentral area and interview the person in charge or caretaker of the particular religious centre. It was an eye opening experience not only for me but my team members as well. Some of them have never entered a temple...

Wrong Direction

Image
Cause I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh no This song resonates so well with my thoughts... Heard their song "Let Her Go" and has been attracted ever since. Decided to listen to the rest of their album today on Youtube, great choice. Still deciding whether to buy their album - "All The Little Lights", on iTunes, problem is with the payment, not sure how it works, will figure it out soon.

S.H.E 2gether 4ever World Tour 2013

Image
I have never been to a concert before. Fortunate enough that my dad is a board member of the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau(MyCEB) and he has gotten free tickets. To begin with, concert tickets are expensive and I am not working yet. Hence, I cannot afford it and has never attended one and also partly because of the fear of going alone, I need "company". I mean, it would be better if somebody accompanied me to share the joy of watching one of your favourite singers or band perform right. The concert was scheduled to start at 8pm but even at 6pm, many of S.H.E fans could be seen outside the stadium waiting for their chance to enter. My family and I, being the "VIPs" got to enter much early and were treated to a simple buffet. It was kind of embarrassing because we were able to park so close to the entrance and it seemed like we were the only VIPs. As soon as we exit the car, everybody stared at us, trying to glimpse and see who these VIPs really w...

That time of the year

Image
Yes, summer has arrived, and it is a bit late to be announcing it now. But who cares, nobody reads this... It has been a month since I came back from the UK. Questions I have been encountering for the past month: "Eugene? Is that you?" (No, this is PATRICK!) "Eh, when you want to cut hair lar?" (I will not cut my hair, I have decided to keep it. It is as if I have found something, like an item, and I have decided to keep it, it belongs to me. You cannot take it away from me, go away...) "Hey Eugene, you are back already!" (No I am not back yet. This is only an illusion. In awhile, you will awake from your dream, all these are fake.) "When are you going back there again?" (I know I am not welcomed home, want me to leave soon? Well, I will not be returning to the UK anymore, I am back for good. Will continue to pursue my Masters in Engineering for one more year. Although I really wish I can go back to the UK, chances are it won...
