Birthday and New Year

Again, staring at the screen.. only start to type something out after a long long time. Aihz..

<30 December 2006>
It was 11pm, 29th December 2006. I was playing DotA with my housemates. 11.50pm, game finished. They say they want a rest. I saw the door unlocked, so I locked the door. At 12.10am, I heard sounds from outside. Kuan holding a cake with 2 candles but no fire [because he forgot to bring a lighter.. haha] together with Bee coming into my apartment. I sat there, looking at them. Ok.. it's a surprise. I was surprised by the surprise. Haha.. It was an ice-cream chocolate cake from Secret Recipe. It's really rich and delicious. I love it very much. Thank you all so much~ By the way, Happy Birthday to Chun Hao too, a friend who has the same date of birth as mine. =P

Went all the way to Sungai Wang, KL to countdown for year 2007 with Kian Ong, Seong Jin, Kui Yoong, Xin Ling and Yit Fong. It was really packed like sardine but the performances are quite entertaining. I can't even move an inch from where I was standing except swaying left and right, back and forth from the pushing of the people at the back. The concert started off with some local artistes like Zhong Sheng Zhong, Danny, John, Des, Suki, Daniel, Lin Yu Zhong and followed by some overseas artistes like Jin Sha, Ah Du and etc. I think I personally like the joint performance from John, Des and Suki the most where most audiences sang along together. Hehe.. The countdown was quite brief as we only started counting from 6 and when we reached 0, chains of beautiful fireworks can be seen right on top of the Sungai Wang building. After the final performance by Ah Du, it was party time and spraying time. We bought around 20 bottles of "snow" spray and spray and spray and spray till everyone is white and wet. Hahaha.. After a quick wash up at the toilet, we managed to catch the last train back. Upon reaching Kepong, we drove to Selayang for a drink and went home at around 4am something. Though I was rather tired on that day, I really enjoyed it very much, especially the precious time hanging out with my friends. =P

Well, well.. My final exams are so near now. I've got to finish all my studies and prepare for the "war" soon. Here, I would like to wish all my MMU friends good luck and all the best in the coming finalz. Billy, out.

Study Week

This week is my study week. I am suppose to study for my final exam. But what have I studied? Nothing. It was my last assignment's due date on 26th December, the day after Christmas. So, basically, I didn't have much christmas mood this year. Just went out for dinner with friends on the Christmas eve, then it's back to the assignment.

I thought that I can have better sleep these few days but I think I was wrong. Haha.. On Wednesday, all my friends have passed up all assignments and they decided to go for a movie to relax ourselves. So, we went to watch "Eragon" at The Mines. It's a tale about dragons and dragon riders. Many friends have told me that it's not worth watching but I think that it wasn't that bad after all. Hehe.. After the show was about 1.30am. We went to Sri Petaling for Dim Sum dinper [dinner + supper] and spend RM70++ for the food. I quite enjoyed the food as I have not eaten dim sum for a long time. So right after that, we decide to go to the cyber cafe beside the shop. Guess what, this is the first time I actually played a game at cc. [I know, I know, I'm lame =P] So we played some games for 3 hours. By the time we finished, it's almost 6am already. I reached back Cyberjaya, took a quick bath and sleep at 7.30am.

I got a wake up call by Iris at 8.50am. [What?! I sleep for 1hour++ only!] Actually it was the prize giving day for CodePlay, the game programming competition. I was suppose to be there at 9.30am and the ceremony will start at 10am. Leong Kee won the first prize! Congratulations!! [Must belanja makan lar] It finished at 11am, continued with 2 meetings after that. Took a simple lunch and went back to nap for 2 hours. [2 hours only?] Yeah, because today [28 December] is Kuan's birthday. Based on his tradition, he'll treat his friends a meal on his birthday. So, we get free pizza dinner at MidValley. Hehe.. After dinner, we went to Sunway to watch "Conffesion of Pain" (伤城）. So here I am, just reach back Cyberjaya and blogging again after a long rest due to the heavy assignments and tests recently.

More events are in the planning for the next few days. Haha.. Guess my study week has just turned into a semester break. Hehe.. Geesh, I need to spare some time to study for my exam soon. Wish me luck! =P I gotta go to bed now. I've been sleeping very very little these few days. Billy, out.

P/S: Congrats to Kuan and Bee =P

Sleepin'

Today I read an article about the impact of the hours you sleep on your health. The research done in the US found that the volunteers who slept less than 4 hours everyday for 2 weeks have a pre-diabetic symptoms. An average of 40% of college kids in the US sleep less than 4 hours during the weekdays and around 70% of them sleep less than 8 hours. Although most of them sleep about 7/8 hours on weekends, it's still not sufficient to cover back the time loss in sleep. The researchers says that sleeping is as important as breathing, eating and drinking. An animal that doesn't sleep will die and so does a human. A healthy man should get around 7 hours of sleep everyday. Not more, not less. People that sleep more than 9 hours a day may lead to mortality and those who sleep less than 4 hours a day are the worst.

So, I guess this proves that my Philosophy of Life is quite true, huh? To all my friends out there, sleeping is important. Never ever neglect your sleep for assignments or exams. Sleep well, study well. Billy, out.
