I have like another three weeks bumming around this island so if any of you are unemployed, back for a break or you have all the time in the world please drop me a text, maybe we can hang out together or something ok? Alternatively if you have an attractive part-time job to recommend me please do so! I'll be so thankful.
Bumming around for 2 months waiting for results has made me lazy, extremely lazy. Too lazy to lift my finger to blog and recount current events hence this lingering smell of a dead blog. Besides, the desktop PC at home isn't working properly. That's where I upload my photos and do the editing cos it operates much faster than my aging laptop.
I'm typing this post for the very first time at 24 years old. I thank God for my lovely family and friends who made my birthday a joyous occasion though it was rather quieter this year. Nevertheless, the birthday wishes and messages I received were overwhelming. Thank you so much!

BTW, if you didn't know yet my CLP results are out! FINALLY, after 2 months and a couple of heart-stopping false alarms. First, they released the exam statistics at the end of the week before releasing individual results the following week. Only 169 candidates made it through to legal practice out of 800 or so candidates nationwide and 112 candidates obtained conditional pass.
I got a conditional pass. Failed my Evidence paper which I thought was easier than the rest. Oh well, I'm still thankful for the conditional pass. I'll have to study harder to clear the resit on the 26th of this month. That can only be done by confining myself (again) in my PJ room beginning next week. I've got lots to do this week, a wedding to attend this weekend, girlfriend's birthday and also my grandma's birthday.
I realize I've been commuting up and down KL pretty often. I was in KL for two days this week to get my exam stuffs sorted out and caught up with some of my most treasured friends. It was so good to see them!
Hello guess who's back!
I'm terribly bored sitting at home on a Friday night when KL folks are making their way to the Black Eye Peas Concert/Arthur's Day at Sunway and the Penangites are flocking to the latest hang-out spot in town, the Hard Rock Cafe & Hotel Penang at Batu Ferringhi.
I'm getting restless already bumming around aimlessly.
Thank God my parents decided to make a short road trip down to KL over raya for shopping and er food? Raya is the best time to be in KL! It is as if a deadly plague has wiped off half the population of KL. The roads were empty and driving around KL was a breeze!
Oh but malls were packed with holidaymakers like us. Saw half a dozen Penang-registered MPVs loading what seemed like furnitures for their entire living room into their vehicles at the loading bay of IKEA.
The trip was extremely productive without the traffic jams. We went mall hopping in the Klang Valley and even made a trip down to Klang to visit a relative and had Bak Kut Teh at Taman Rasna, Klang over the weekend.
Other than that trip down to KL, I hang out every now and then with friends who remain in Penang. Everyone's still all over the place at the moment. Maybe, just maybe more will come back to Penang some time in future. I guess I will do the same but not so soon, at least not in the near future.
I love and cherish all the family gatherings too. It is something I look forward to whenever I'm back in Penang. Oh, and this month has been an awesome month for high school reunions too! First was the 50th Anniversary Dinner cum reunion dinner of the 7GTS scouts movement that I was part of back in school. More than 100 ex-scouts turned up for the dinner, including those from the 1950s! I will blog about it next time :P
And then there was the Board of Student Librarians 40th Anniversary Dinner! Oh yes I was a librarian. haha! Not a nerdy one with thick glasses though. I enjoyed this dinner better than the scouts dinner perhaps cos I was very actively involved in the board ever since Form 2 all the way to Form 6 so I can relate to the other members. I'm glad my peers joined me at the dinner. We reminisced about the good old days at the library. None of the newbies know me! I left the library for 6 years already, it makes me feel like an old dinosaur.
Okay, I gotta go! Scroll down for random photos!

Oh well, the highly enjoyable first month of my post-exams life have spiraled down to a rather boring one right now. Everyone's either busy working or not around in Penang.
I've been staying in more than usual these days indulging in a couple of new games and good books in between. I'm in the midst of a game mission in Need for Speed Undercover 2009. The graphics are superb. It gets a little bit boring after repetitive racing but by winning certain races nicer cars will be unlocked to keep you playing.
And if I'm lucky, my bunch of friends who are not too tired from work will ask me out for a few rounds of the multi-player survivor vs zombie game at the internet cafe. It's been ages since I played games this much. I have not been to an internet cafe since my pre-university days and today's internet cafes are no longer like the ones in our school days where they're often heavily tinted from the outside, dark, dodgy, smoky and loud.
Ah, results will be out any time this month.
Pray for me!

He has set a dangerous precedent for barbaric demonstrations like this.
