December 2007 Archives

It will soon be 2008.
2007 was probably the most dramatic year I've gone through in my life.
Laughs, cries; pain and joy... every word which describes emotion.
The challenges I endured, the stresses I went through, the everything ...
The year I started another chapter of my life, abroad on a volcanic island.
The year I learnt more about my own country.
The year I realized why Japanese people are who they are. (geddit?)
The year I realized that my face tells an unknown nationality;
Malaysian Chinese, Malay, Thai, Singaporean, Japanese, Korean, Cambodian and China Chinese.
Word of the year (based on most frequently heard) = EMO
Lets take a review of the year I had ... with many photos (again)
That's Zhiyi. 2 Langsat (1996). I can't find my std 1 photo, with Audrey.
7 years after graduating from primary school, we meet again. Audrey insisted that its thousand years.
Audrey suggested us to get tattoos... I agreed...
Thursday, December 27th 2007; the date when i was a 'lamp post' for a date \^o^/
Went out to town with Calvin and Michelleg.. (the dating couple)
Yeah... Michelleg came ...
Merry Ticklish Christmas (at Times SQ)
We were all gorgeous and had so much heart attack (cos of a card game) in the music cafe (cos they serve coke for rm7), so much so I smacked myself twice (cos my left brain wasnt functioning).
Kenny had a headache (cos Zhi Wei and Carmen held hands all the way).
Siang Ling bursts into milk (cos Kevin hugged Chun Hoong).
Khai Xiang left halfway (cos Chun Hoong asked everyone if we have a girlfriend)
First.. random meal at Kenny Rogers.
Saw Jack Neo and actually wanted to approach him to ask him to feature me in a new film call "I am Stupid"...
Went to Borders.
Approached Info counter to ask "Do you have ..."
Haziq interrupted and said "Dont have!"
Aishshhhche che... shit!
Supper at a music cafe and made lots of noise...
Went home in Zhi Wei's car.
Made a whooooooole lot more noise in Zhi Wei's car and as soon as all 4 of them left the car... Zhi Wei and I went ...
*crickets* ... *conversation*...
I can fly to NYC from KUL within that amount of time... with time to spare to eat hot dogs too...
follow my (25hr) journey home, with many many photos...
Dec 9 (sunday)
Day 2 - Tangerine Farm and Cultural Show
Place - Takaoka and Sadowara at Miyazaki City.
Remember the 30 students from Malaysia? That is one of the reasons to why I've been so busy.
Right.. after the christmas party, i spent a night at Takaoka with Izany. The next morning, host mom brought us to er... akisomething's orchard. I don't remember his name.
At noon, host dad dropped the both of us at Sadowara Cultural Hall for show rehearsal. At this time, while the Malaysians were rehearsing, I helped out by setting up the laptops and solved some minor, kacang technical problems.
I can't believe the fact that a Malaysian ah pek helped the Japanese people solve TECHNICAL problems... the irony...
Anyway, lesson learnt today : always charge your camera's battery in advance...
SOOOOO BUSY !!!!
anyway... got eaten by a reindeer...
Dec 8 (saturday)
Day 1 - Christmas Party
Place - Takaoka (where I did a homestay in summer).
Refresh memory here - http://www.wankokhong.com/blog/2007/08/homestay.html
Co-incidentally, 30 secondary school students came to Miyazaki from Malaysia. One of their programs was homestay and one of them ended up in my host family's place. So in the end, my host mom asked me to overnight over the weekend and help her, as well as the malaysian guy in translation.
Only 3 students ended up in Takaoka. The rest ended up elsewhere in the city...
Its an exchange program in conjunction with (big number)th anniversary of Japan-Msia's friendship.
yes...a whole week in Miyazaki...
Showtime! ... Sunday 2nd Dec.
I know Langkawi had a similar event recently but I'm not gonna talk about that one...
A bunch of us Canoe Club members (this has ntg to do with canoeing) went to see the Air show at Nyutabaru Air Base in Saito City.
