Results – Second Semester

This is my results for my second semester.

Well I have no comments on it. Not too good not too bad I would say. But dang, B+ for my Math? And even worse B- for Circuit Analysis. LOL

P.S : KiraWing, you were asking me about this right. ^^,

One Year in Sabah – Part V – Fish Tank

It has been a long time since I last post about One Year in Sabah. Well today we are going to look at the aquarium of my university. Yes, we have quite an extensive aquarium – something like the Underwater World in Langkawi, but a smaller version. I am quite lazy to elaborate here so let the picture do the talking.

This is the bone of a dinasour!!! Nah, just kidding. Its a whale’s bone. ^^, At first I thought it was a dinasours bone cause of the size. >.<

This is one of the big tanks. All kinds of fish can be found inside and its really nice. Looking at this makes me feels like I am actually in the tank itself.

Ok this I dunno what is it called in English, but in hokkien its called hai aamotan. LOL ^^, This thing is extremely dangerous as it has “thorns” all over it, so if you step on this fella, you are in for some pain.

It is dangerous but it is quite nice actually. I can’t really capture it on camera but it is black and has a very nice blue tint. The hue is something like a blue LED. And in front it has a orange eye-like thingy. Can’t capture it on camera from this angle though.

And finally, this I dedicate to Keng Yee, the prawn. LOL.

Well I guess this conclude my post. A short one cause I am quite tired today due to my outing last night till 3 a.m. Coming up next would be my trip to one two of the islands near Kota Kinabalu.

One Year in Sabah – Part III – Up and Around

So after one week here, I decided to explore around a bit. And as my uni is located on a hill and close to the sea, we get to enjoy stunning view! Thats why we are the most beautiful university in Malaysia!!

Lets kick off with a sunrise viewed from my hostel with mountains as background!

Sunrise from our main gate!

Going for a basketball game at 6am; enjoying the sunrise yet again!

And when we do get rain, its crazy!

And after the rain comes another fantastic view!

View from one of the hostel block. Parasite this from someone..

D’Bayu Cafe; the cafe near our lecture hall. Place to fill your stomach and your eyes!

And no matter what, the sun always shines again!

From my block, the mosque!

The mosque up close

On a regular sunshiny day!

On my way to the uni’s aquarium(more of the aquarium will come soon)

Somewhere along the way to the aquarium

Just about 100 metres from the aquarium

50 metres from the aquarium overlooking sea with mud. haha

The mosque revisited!

And again revisited…….. ^^,

View from our very own twin towers; the Chancellery. At the connecting bridge, where you can almost see the whole uni

The Connecting Bridge, Scene 1, Act 5, Take 2 and ACTION!!Note the long road at the centre of the picture. That road leads to our main gate. Very tiny from here. Which goes to show how big our uni is.

Our very own green house!!!And actually its my first time seeing one!

Sakura blossoming!!!haha.. Just kidding! I have no idea what type of tree this is.

And the only time when you get to witness the greatest traffic jam in our uni is during the convocation!!haha. Here we are going to the convocation pasar malam to fill our growling stomach and to join in the party!haha

And a lil info about my uni from Wikipedia : Universiti Malaysia Sabah before I end this part!

One Year in Sabah – Part II – My First Week

As usual in every new place we go, there is always this thing called orientation. Well this first week is our orientation and over here in my uni its called MSM – Minggu Suai Mesra. Its more like a hell week to me actually where we sleep at about 12am and wake up at 5am for one whole week. Why the odd hours? Well we have to practice for our induction ceremony which takes a long time and its done at night because in the afternoon we have other activities to tend to. Then we have to wake up at 5am because at 6am there is a Moral talk, which 100% of the time I am asleep while they are talking.

Our RM67 million hall on students’ registration day

At the upper floor of the hall before daily our practice session begins

The launching of the spot lights at our Sport Complex during our hell week. Before…

and after. Look at the amount of people. 4000 first year student! All lining up for a line dance! ^^

Half way through the line dance. And you can spot many people are night dreaming. ^^,

Me trying to look patriotic after the line dance but god knows whats wrong with my expression.

Me managed to recruit more members to the Patriotic Party! ^^,

And the end of hell week is finally here. Where we sang..

Dance…doing the wave thingy in this picture…

And cheer with all our heart!!

And at the end of the day, I am glad that the week is over but deep inside me, I felt something, something warm.. And thats when I realize, this one week has been hell but through hell we survived and enjoyed ourselves and it made us closer. Closer as a big family. And I knew this is where my journey begins with my new family here…

One Year in Sabah – Part I – The Arrival

I came to Sabah together with Li Lene on 29th June 2007. It was late and it was raining. We touched down at Sabah airport at about 1am, all thanks to our flight getting delayed.

Since it was my first time here and all, I was worried that we would have trouble finding transport to our university since its already 1am. But as we were exiting the airport, I am glad to see that there are still so many people there and most of them are UMS seniors there waiting for us and our transport is also outside waiting; the UMS bus!

So that was the first time I took the UMS bus and also the first time I am travelling around Sabah to my university while listening to one of the seniors explaining to us where we are.

The trip took about 20 minutes and I reach my new home at about 145am. And after my hostel registration in which I got Village B Blok B Room B.09 ( I also don’t know why I am assigned to a room with so many B), I moved into my new home.

Thats my broken bed on the left.
