We were merely freshmen.

It’s back to the writing board of my long abandoned blog. I have obviously been very very…very lazy to update any part of this blog. The initial enthusiasms of blogging seems to have taken its toll and given up on me soon enough. Yes and I have been so called decivilizing in my little Taiping town for over a month now. Taiping isn’t so bad after all. Its peaceful, nice and well.. Cheap.

I have taken this short period of time to reflect and re-enact myself, realizing how much life has caught up on me. Looking back on all these, nothing seems to be of real good times. Thinking back on my memories, on these past two years at least, so many things have happened. I started college life, made a whole new bunch of friends but only kept a handful of trusty ones, cherished many but yet loved a few. Events and happenings, daily ranting, all recorded and thrown in my book of eternal memories. Most of these I can’t bother. I certainly do have to say, I have grown up a lot. I certainly too, do not mean I have grown up and I know it all. I merely mention a tinge of growth in my life.

Many things have changed, yet a handful of things unchanged. My life still revolves around a few good folks here and there, not forgetting the times I have spent with so many others along the line. My time in Taiping has been well spent I would say. For a month now, there has been a daily routine going on. Since i came4 back to taiping, it has always been the quiet serene town life. What do you expect. A small town and no urban entertainment? One must always find certain ways to rejuvenate himself. I recently met up with a few good lepak buddies I call brothers. And yes, they are my true brothers. If anyone has been following my blog, I have mentioned these two names often. Ah Chern and Rae, two very important people in my life. My bosom buddies here in Taiping have been there for me and have never let me down once. Merwin and Fawwaz meet me on a daily basis to have a good time. My routine is: 10am rise and shine. 11am pick Merwin and Fawwaz. Get them to yumcha. Come back at 6. Get dinner, and go out again at night. It was wonderful to think of it, having great times and the jokes, outings and even sharing food together.

I am blessed with these “brothers”. I have learnt a lot, enjoyed myself and too, learn how to give and take. It’s the simple lifestyle of good faith. Other recent happenings shall i record here. Happenings such as my recent Langkawi trip. A group of ADP students from my department decided to make a trip down to Langkawi. I guess there wasn’t much excitement except the drinking part and yeah. A small issue of me being a sort of misfit. I guess I wasn’t much of being in the “in” crowd. But no matter what, it was a good an enjoyable trip on the whole, with most of the peeps drunk silly in the night, stoned on perpetual cigarette smoking and a whole lot of us being really tired. I came back two days ago from meeting Rae in Penang. Merwin, Kee Wei and Fawwaz got a chance to meet this all time wonderful gal. I noticed too how much I actually missed her. It has been a long time and i wish I had more time with her. Short but sweet, quality not quantity and three hours made me miss herm ore. Still.. life.. is all about meeting and leaving.

I shall keep this post short and. Here are some posts of a few pictures of fawwaz, merwin, kee wei and me near a freshwater stream this afternoon plus a few pics of penang.

P.s. my phone tells its story on how it went into water, survived, and still worked after all. Its testimony brings joy to all with the proof of its survival by these humble photos it took even after the dip. My zippo swam too. Thanks fawwaz. For dipping it with your slip into the water =) ha-ha… no matter what, it remains a general. It survived drowning too. To all peeps out there. A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS and A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR =) Enjoy this year’s holidays with bliss and joy! ~
