Life Is Not A Bed of Roses

Our life is always full of ups and downs. There will be pleasure and sorrow. Everyone experienced different problems and situations before and I experienced a big obstacle during my A-levels.

Fate can be cruel. I was given a conditional offer from Imperial College London which require
  • A for Physics
  • A* for Maths
  • A for either Chemistry and Accounting

I did my best during the A-levels and I was hoping to get into this university. However, I was not given the result that I expected.

  • A* for Maths
  • A for Chemistry
  • A for Accounting
  • B for Physics

The B nearly kill of all my As. I'm rejected from my firm and insurance offer and being thrown into clearing.

Both universities replied me quite late which give me limited time to find a suitable university in clearing. However, I managed to receive an offer from The University of Manchester but this is not the end of it. Due to my late offer, I was given an accommodation which is far from my university. To make things worst, my CAS number took quite a long time to be processed.

Without the CAS number, I can't apply for my UK visa early. The process for UK visa is so complicated and long that my dad and I have to travelled from Melaka to KL again and again at 5 am as the queuing line starts at 7am and ends at 3pm. That is not all. Due to the amount of holidays in November, there is a huge delay on my visa and I have to alter my air ticket.

Thankfully, the blessing comes after that and I had my visa and a safe flight to UK although I missed up some of my orientation days.

The point of this brief story is just to tell you guys out there to never give up when you are facing any troubles and always believe in God.

Happy New Year

Ah!!! I've finally revived my blog after months. Credits to Michael Poon who keep asking me to update it. By the way, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and share a few stories of mine and some on the next posts.

I've managed to achieved part of my dream as a was a young boy - further my study in UK. Yes it may sound silly but I guess most of you guys have the same dream as me. Yes, no, maybe?

It is currently snowing over here in UK which is a nice experience for me to observe the beauty of the snow. However, the cold is sometimes unbearable and I have to stay in my room most of the time. I get bored and ended up playing DotA with Fred, Gary and Michael.

Yeah, I miss those times in Taylors where you and your friend meet up most of the time and having a lot fun together. I will always remember those jokes from you guys out there especially Gary, the class joker.

Besides that, I also miss Malaysian food. (Gary and Michael stop sending me photos of Malaysian food) Hopefully, I am able to come back to Malaysia during summer and meet up with you guys again. I bet you know what is going to happen next. Someone is gonna to get his ass kicked! Say What!

PS: You will love the sun over here in UK

Prom Night


It was an awesome night at J.W.Marriott. Everyone dressed up in their Sunday best to attend the Atlantis Odyssey. The environment was just nice and we have awesome performances on the stage. However, the food served was not up to our expectations and the dance floor was too small. Most of the time, we are busy taking pictures with each other and teachers as this prom is also our farewell party.

Not forget to mention that Fred won the best dressed for the prom. We are proud of him for winning something for PE5!

After the prom, those who stayed overnight at Marriott went clubbing at a club located at Cangkat. The entrance fees and the price for the Chivas was reasonable but the dance floor was a little too packed. It was an epic night and some of us get drunk so badly.

After clubbing, some of us decided to go for supper at a mamak restaurant but they ended up visiting K.F.C.

The next morning, those early birds went for breakfast at a bakery just a stone throw away from our hotel. After everyone woke up and got ready, we checked out from the hotel and went for a movie at Pavilion. The A-team was a good movie. However, some of us fell asleep during the movie!

It was a tyring but interesting night out. I think some of us need some serious rest for the next few days. Love you people, always!

PS: Caprice is damn awsome!

It's Over!

It's party time! A2 examinations are finally over. After one and a half years of suffer, we finally got rid of it!

We tried to play DotA in the library but it was disappointing. We have to leave the computer lab before the game starts as some lectures needed to give some talk to the new intakes.


I'm really looking forward to the prom and other plans that are coming up. I just want to enjoy with my friends for my last few days in KL.

PS: I really miss you guys out there.

Am I Ready?

Both Chemistry and Accounting are really making me sick as both aren't my favourite subjects. Bored to the max!

I kinda miss my friends. They went missing as examinations are closing by and I hardly see anyone online. No friends online = no chat; no chat = boring. DotA? No! Not till exams are over.

Facing A Road Block

Finally, I'm back here again. Nothing actually catches my attention in these couple of months, probably I'm too stressed up on focusing on my A2 final exams. I have chemistry and accounting coming up next back to back. It sounds insane but I've gone through the similar situation for physics and maths so I think I am able to handle it. I hope all the best for you all out there who are facing examinations too. Work hard to aim for the best and may God bless you all!

A-level is coming towards and end. Have you all plan for your future? Most of us are going in different directions and in the end we are going to say goodbye to each other. One and a half year is a short period but I have make lots of friends and learn new things. Sometimes, I may have done something wrong or offended some of you. I would like to apologize for my mistakes and misbehavior.

I'm also looking forward to the prom night. This might sound funny but I've never been to one before. I know there will be an after party too and it will be an amazing night.

Home Sweet Home

After the trial exams, I went back to Melaka. It is nice to spent time with my family members after so many months.

Melaka is really a quiet city. Is a nice place to relax but you might get bored easily.

Well, since only two outstation persons (Fang Yan Kai and his girlfriend, Lim Wei Shuang) visited my house before, I decided to show some part of my house.

Guess where is this place.

A) Living room

B) Discussion room

C) Gaming room





Easy right? Haha, the answer is A. By the way, spot the television too.

This is for you Wai Suan. Thank you for saying I don't look like a person who plays an instrument. Watch out!

This lovely piano has accompanied me through the time when I am learning piano. Kinda miss it.
