my friends part 1(the St.Co years)

im missing the days when i could just take my motorbike and go to one of my friends place just to lepak. Sigh. So im gonna dedicate this post to my pals from St.Co who have gone to the furthest reaches of the world(or malaysia) in pursuit of education..

this is my beloved 5L2, second class of the science stream. Though most of my good friends are from here, many of my most trusted companions are also from 5L1 and 5L3

Firstly, this is vincent/vince/Don chicken. My best buddy and also the ketua pengawas of stco prefect board 2004-2005.Ive known this fella since form 1, when we met in the science lab and broke the ice by laughing at the sperm drawing on the blackboard.We have been table mates for many many years.Sorry for using this pic man, but i find it hilarious. Hahahaha!
and this is Avery Wee CHEE SIN..my other best buddy..Ive known this asshole since primary 5.We went trough lots of crap as buddies including bullying a kid called jeremiah, a motorcycle accident and a hell lot of other things. This is the guy respoonsible for teaching me about the erotic powers of internet search engines(way back in primary 5 mind you).

together they were my most trusted friends. Id take wise advice from vince, and id release stress on avery. See, everyone plays a role.
we did many silly things as friends. wayne, vince and naya doing the nerd pose at the lobby of dynasty hotel. Hahaha!But nothing beats this la..
yes, avery was always known for his ability to openly embrace other peoples culture. HAHA!! Avery playing the fool during mufti day at St.Co. Theres a spot in hell reserved for u man..hahaha!

This is rachel..our head girl of the prefect board 2004-2005.Ive known rach since like from form 2 i think.Used to fetch her from her house go tuition on my motorbike. HAHAhA!!! I still remember the first time u rode with me rach. Nasib didnt accident..

and of course, if u mention rach, mestilah got hannah also. Two of them were the best of friends.I first got to know hannah way back in primary 1 but werent really friends wif her till sekolah menegah.Rach and hannah always planned crazy things..kelab donut la, kelab muruku la..macam2 la these two. And we always had those pointless gatherings in hannah's house...Miss ya loads babe. Im sure ure enjoying urself up there =)
Gen and nadine..in this pic nadine still look so cute. Now so sexy oredi hahahaha!Gen was the most fierce girl ive met(SM queen)..yes, dont play2 with her..especially at THAT time of the month.. nads was always so cheerfull and bubbly. but wait..theres another member missing...
yes, mestilah Evangeline Stanley..and dont forget the Ipkis. She always confuse words and their meanings..for example microscope and telescope... she would use a microscope to view the night sky and telescope to look at slides HAHAHAHAhA!These 3 make up the row behind me and vince in class and always kena paksa to give free massage and also copy their addmaths b4 class.
Jason and naya. The 2 musicians from ISCF and also prefects of stco.Naya was assistant head boy btw.I had no idea what prompted them to pose like this but its hilarious hahaha!Jason was also my history buddy who shared a similar passion in military and politics and weve been close friends ever since form 1. As for naya, he's just a plain clown.HAHA! sori la pok. If he had nothing else to say, he'd just announce " bah, ku mok pegi berak lok" or something similar . I first met naya in primary school and was my 'tugas' partner in the primary school prefect board.
not forgetting Lau Hui Siong a.k.a Malau. First got to know him in form 1. He was class monitor and i was his assistant! hahaha. I remember when me,lau vince and avery would go and play basketball in the dark. Stupid. Then those tattoed samseng guys would suddenly come and ask us to play wif them..man, tht was reli scary hahaha.
and finally, wayne the athelete and ivan the guitarist.Buddies of mine eversince primary 4 and 5 respectively. All together, this bunch of people make up my second family, the people i trust and care for just as i would to my own family.
one of the many illegal night staybacks which we did to complete backdrops for events.
adrian steward our crazy senior giving birth on prefect's night. HAhaha!

me n avery fishing at the beach..vince took the photo. Bear in mind this was a few weeks before spm and we still berani go fishing despite having no idea how to fish hahaha!
man, i was damn sexy in form 5 hahahahahaha!!!
Most of us were made to attend a course on sexual abstinence before marriage called 'no apologies'. As u can see, i wasnt too interested. LOL!the Penolong kanan signed my pledge card(which i still keep)..so when i want to get it on, id just have to imagine mdm wong's face...what a turn off. HAHAHA!

this was taken in Bio tuition..no wonder i got a B4 for spm bio. HAHA..busy reading those soppy romance novels when i was supposed to try out past yr papers..tht piece of ppr on the floor.(the title of the book is sweet dreams btw..)
In SMK St.Joseph miri..this trip was to foster better ties with the St.Joe prefects as well as exchanging ideas and opinions.
just some examples of what St.co form 5 students do in their free time...my childhood pal Basil playing air guitar on a broomstick..

the silly L1 trio..basil,ivan n wayne.
racial harmony at its best. Darrel Wee wearing a kelabit hat. HAHA!!!
dancing in the bilik mesyurat.hahaha!..and Jin Wei(first dude) looks like he's in pain..or maybe hes just shy LOL.
most of us had this ability..ability to fall asleep anywhere anytime(important skill!!!!). As demonstrated by rachel here.
rach again..she's a real pro.

jin wei in the library..got air con mah.hahaha!

here's another one..jin wei, albert and david.pretty gay dont u think. LOL. I think this was taken sumwhere behind the dewan.
HAHAHA!!!! tht stick was taken from the tong sampah btw.
but hannah takes the prize lah...check out her advance napping technique. Ini memang tahap dewa lah. HAhahaha!

Ok, technically this man isnt a friend of mine. He's our school principal Mr. Wong King Kui..sporting fella but can be unreasonable at times. He's a good guy despite being not very popular among some of the staff.He's cool with me, so im making him my honorary friend..hahaha!

Sigh..these pics really bring those days back.but its quite impossible to cram years of memories in a single blogpost.........






but no matter where u guys are, u'll always be on my mind and in my heart. I love St. Co!













Iban

For those that do not know , i am iban..not chinese, not malay, not from indonesia, definitely not serani(portugese gypsies) and not orang asli( negrito, sakai..etc). I am not a muslim and no, i do not worship pagan gods who resemble chickens/birds for example singalang burung, the iban god of war.

My maternal grandmother IS half chinese if that answers any questions..(my great grandfather was from china)

Its surprising what people can come up with..these semenanjung-ans...tsk tsk.

And the thing that pisses me off...

oh? Ure Iban?..Back at home, do your ppl dress like this?......


The answer i want to tell them but i dont:have you ever asked yourself, would it be practical??

And i suppose this is what you do in your free time..?


The answer i want to tell them but i dont:yes, complete with scenic waterfall and full hunting gear, we ibans love to hunt birds in between mealtimes.

The level of ignorance in some of them simply amazes me. Well, i would blame it on a faulty education system (especially the pictures and drawings they put up in our sejarah textbooks)

but really la..have you ever seen a chinese mum wearing a cheongsam to send her kid to tuition??

or a mum of malay heritage doing household chores wearing their finest kebaya?

sounds ridiculous right?the same principal applies people.

I admit, were not the most technologically developed...

but were getting there eventually la..steady as she goes.

hahaha!

stupid post i know..blame it on boredom :D

thats all for now, Cya!

another sem over

It has been ages since i last updated..very2 sorry for that. U can blame it on my damn final exams.

5 papers spread over 5 days. Mon-fri. 8-10am each day. @@!!

Now that its over, i finally can resume living life normally. Yes, that means regular sleeping hours, not too much time on the books( campbell and reece BIOLOGY 7th edition..i bid thou goodbye), and actually having a life other than the god forsaken world of invertebrates,prokaryotes,fungi, archea, bacteria,prehistoric plants and other abstract forms of life which i could hardly care for....ARGHH!

So anyways, will be heading back home after 4 months in college. Yipee! Homecooked food..i crave for it

Among my holiday activites:

Beach, Barbeque, lazing around, lepak with old freinds,fitness training(if im feeling exceptionally rajin!) and also trying to finish On War, a book which i purchased sometime in january this year.(only got to page 20 i think..), learn to cook and bake from mum and any other fun things.

I hope to return with stronger legs so i can kickbox more efficiently..and try to lose somemore belly fat haha..yes, my ultimate goal is to be the most toughest and fearsome heavyweight kickboxer Inti has to offer...and im still afraid of roaches(and some girls in the class..which i shall not name for reasons of security). Oh well, life needs balance right?

Thats all for now, have a long day tomorrow. Will post pictures as soon as the fucked up "extreme" broadband fixes whatever is wrong with the inti server..Bye!
