Weekend

As the same as most of you, I loves weekends. Since I started my internship I am dying to have a long weekend break. Had a very memorable and tiring weekend, well I will start from Saturday, went to a condo in Bukit Tunku(Kin Yan's relative) with Kin Yan and Ling Siong, played table tennis, squash, swimming followed by steam bath. Muahahha it reminds me of my secondary days where I used to visit ISC every weekend.

Sunday, went to Taman Pertanian with Kin Yan and his friends, at Shah Alam. It is a very huge park where usually visitors will cycle around the park for hours, If you don't like to cycle, you can always take the coach or walk. Cycling, however, is my recommended mode of transportation. The park is quite huge and with so many slopes, it can be quite tiring for the average exercise challenged like me. But it was the slopes which also provided the best part of the ride. The wind blowing in your hair when you are going downhill at top speed is one of the most incredible experiences.

We started our cycle at 8.55am, cycle around the park there are two places that is worth visiting. The four season house, where they will change the environment of the room acoording to season in the north. It's about to be winter so the room has been changed into a snow house. There are real snow flakes all over and the temperature is from -2 to -7 celcius, it's very much better than the Snow House in Mines Wonderland. We are all sweaty and rushed into the snow house.... we were froze there. Ice flakes Muahaha, one of Kin Yan's friend have the desire to drink Coke in the snow house. He described it as one of the wonders of the world, but too bad his dream did not came through.

The second part was the Sapu Tangan Watch Tower. I found it to be the most challenging destination in the entire park. It kinda reminds me of the Mount Kinabalu trip I went several years ago, we got to give encouragement to each other to keep walking. If you happen to go there, don't miss this place.

At 1.55pm we ended our holiday in park, we rush to the car and grab anything we can eat and munch on it. We were starving, did not had anything since breakfast. We head to Klang for bak kut teh, it is a bit different from the one I normally had. There are so many bak kut teh in that 2 rows of shop, but it's strange as most of it is fully occupied.

After that, went to TGV to watch Happy Feet. Was embarassed by the ticket attendent, he said " All four of you still watch cartoon?" Sigh....

Weekend passed very quickly, and tomorrow is Monday hopefully I would not felt sleepy in office.

BETNET(Malaysia) 2006

It was my pleasure be one of the student helper representing UCSI in this conference. It may sounds like a lot of things to do, but in actual fact student helpers are only needed on the first day of the event where participant, speaker register themself. So indirectly student helpers benefits from it as we would be able to listen to the conference for FREE. Btw, each participant will have to pay RM 900 to attend.

Beside 'attending' the conference, it was a reunion meeting for me, Tiew Hui, Zhan Liu and Chia Kuang came as a helper as well representing UNITEN. When there is tea breaks, we would be sitting together catching up with old times.

I was dissapointed with some of the student helpers, as they were given the opportunity to attend the conference for free, they would not even bother to listen to it. Their purpose in the conference were just to indulge in the hotel breakfast, tea breaks, lunch breaks and the banquet dinner.
