Fung's Birthday(11th July 2009) and Political discussions

The university's second semester started 2 weeks ago but I find it much more difficult this semester to cope up because of the difficulty of the papers I'm taking this semester. Hopefully, I'm able to cope up. In this post, I'll just post some pictures taken at Fung's birthday as well as pictures taken from our friendly political discussion meeting that we called it the Forum of the Deep South. Fung's my pal from the same Malaysian state as me, which is the beautiful state of Sabah. The discussion meeting is a gathering of selected individuals interested in politics where political discussions are being... discussed.

Potluck dinner at Kotahi

Recently, I was invited and joined a potluck dinner at Kotahi flat in Toroa International House. The residents in Kotahi is Hamwira, Henry, Sebastian, Sam, and Owen. As usual, I could not resist it when I saw so many variety of food being served, so I ate quite a lot.^^
Thanks to Kotahi residents for helding such a nice potluck event, so kind of you guys...organise more of these events ok? haha.

Sam said Sabahans don't know about Roti John, I seriously did not know it until I ate it during the International Food festival..LOL

Diversity! Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, USA, Indonesia, and India! but Sabah rocks harder!

Kai Yuan and Henry Auguestine...

They say we look alike...

Yuji Nakane, Hamwira, and Alvin the entertainer.



eat eat eat~

Potluck = everybody brings their own dish and we eat together.

experienced Earthquake in Dunedin, New Zealand

Unbelievable, for the first time in my life I felt an earthquake!
As usual, I was lying on my table using my laptop. suddenly, the table was kind of shaky then I thought it was my body somehow 'twitching'. then I get my body off the table then and still sat on the chair, but my body was still shaking which made me thought that my butt was actually 'twitching'. Then I heard some strange sounds, I looked around then see all my tables, cupboard, and clothes are actually shaking. Thus, I concluded that this was really an earthquake.
Although it's an earthquake, the intensity appears to be low and there will not be any damage to the buildings and structures around New Zealand. I was informed that the epicenter of the quake was at Fiordland and there's tsunami going on all over the West Coast of New Zealand. Fortunately, the West Coast is sparsely populated.
This is indeed one of a kind experience for me, because so far I believe Sabah is safe from any earthquake or major disasters. Let's hope Sabah remains safe!

Satisfied, second semester starting soon

I'm satisfied with my semester 1 results. Thank God. But I will have to maintain or improve my grades so that I can take on Honours programme. Hopefully, I will be given such option because an Honour degree will always look so much better than a mere degree. Also, it could actually shorten the period of study if one is taking Master degree or actually skip Master and go straight into P.H.D or Doctorate if you've done really really fine.
Still have a long way to go, have to be patient, have to be hardworking, have to be disciplined, have to manage time well.
Moreover, I'm going to start my next semester on 13th July 2009, I hope that this time I will put extra effort on study and get improvements on my grades! May God be with me!
