Today, dear felly posted on my fb wall: 

Charles, Your blog is dead, your twitter is dead.. I sense the imminent death of your facebook too!

And I said I will revive, watch me!! So felly, I posted something!!!!!!!! REvived!!!! :p

Well, but I must say she is right, haven't been posting something for months, my apology. But hey, y'all can't blame me alright! Please blame my laziness, my busy schedule, blame exams, quizzes, assignments, blame my awesome social life. But NOT ME!! :p heh! I'm just being an ass, ignore pls. :) 


Awesome things have been going on in my life this few months, I'm loving it. Met more people, visited more places, trying to enjoy my life to the fullest, well, despite I have to maintain my busy academic schedule as well. :) I won't say I'm living ahead of the American dream, but at least in between. So far, I fulfilled quite a few, and I would say this is the greatest one: Club La Vela. In the past, it has always been my dream to visit Club La Vela @ Panama City Beach, Florida, which is the largest club in United States! And, during this summer, I finally did! :)

 P/S: A shout out to few my bros: Jay Hong, Lewis yong chi, Sien Xian, yie heng. Remember how we always talked about this back home, I went there and I am still looking forward going there with you guys, just like we plan. :)


So, a few photos to prove I am not making this up peeps! :) I can't post all of them but just a few, the rest are on my fb. :)

A short notice  

Posted by Char135

This is not exactly a post but just a short notice to let anyone who care to know, Charles is not dead yet! =D

Final exam is just around the corner and in fact, it is less than a week for me, so dearest all, forgive me for not updating my blog. Actually, I've lots of pics to upload, including my spring break vacation and things happen around my life in the States. So, I promise I'll upload it right after final exam is over alright! ;)

Yesterday, out of random, I suddenly miss Vinoad so I pick up my phone and called him. P/S: In fact, I called couple of times but no one picked up! >,< Anyway, we had a great conversation, just like old times. I'm happy I did that. That makes me miss each and everyone of ya back in Malaysia, other part of the States or other countries very, very much. We all have great times back then but life just gotta move on, only memories left within. And, I'm pretty sure everyone is moving on pretty well. :)

There is no turning back. only memories.        -Carissa Gan-

So,

To all that are having exams: Lets kick ass and get A's! ;)

To all not having exam: Do something, don't just get wasted! :p

To those who're going M'sia during summer: Grr!!!! I ENVY!! But, I hope ya'll have a safe trip back home. :)

To everyone: Take Care & I Love Ya'll!!

For now, gotta head back bury under books.

Till then, peace out! ;)

~ One Life. One Chance. One Shot. ~

PART I

Ok, Let's Blog! :)

First of all, lets share something, something about one's life. We often heard: "Life is precious", 3 simple words, barely a sentence, yet indeed very true.This is simply because, we, everyone of us only got to live once, one and only once, and that's what makes life precious! In every corner of this world, every single one of us has our own story to tell, own book to write about our own life, often filled with happiness, sorrow, excitement, emotional, etc., each with a unique, different content and chapters of stories. And, the story won't end, not until we run out of pages, and that comes a time when we have to put a full stop to it. However, running out of pages or not is not something up to us to decide, normally. God provide pages, we do the writing.

Alright, a slight change of angle of viewing, say things become abnormal. What IF? If, for some reasons, one cannot carry on with the story anymore, running out of content to write perhaps. So, he/she put a full stop to it, tearing the pages off, which often takes lots of strength to do that. From that point onward, that's the end of story, end of life. That, my friends, I guess will be something closest to committing suicide. The psychology behind it, no one will ever truly understand, not until we're in that stage and actually did it ourselves. And clearly, if that is the case, I rather, I'll never understands it...

About a month ago, an Indian guy from my university, who is doing his Master/PhD degree, aged of 26/27 years old, fell down from LSU Life Sciences Building, which is 6 stories high. Apparently, he had chose to end his life. He died in the hospital about one hour later. Indeed, it's a sad tragedy for everyone. Many people had witnessed the incident, and I guess, I would be one of them. I was stunt! I pray, may god bless over him and his soul may rest in peace..

      This is LSU Life Sciences Building [photo taken from LSU website(lsu.edu), later edited by me]

It is never an easy task to commit suicide, it takes a whole lot of strength and courage to make one person jump down from that building. Clearly, I don't really know what problem he is facing, but something that can drives him to jump down from there, what he was facing must be really big, until he is so emotionally painful that he can't cope it anymore. I really felt sorry for him. Imagine before this he spoke to the right person, or he got a piece of advice from anyone, the whole thing might end up differently. Never knows. Frankly, I don't know that guy personally, not ever met him, but I do feel for him, his family and his friends. From the bottom of my heart, my deepest condolences to his family and friends, because, I clearly know that the person who has died ain't the one who suffer the most, it is those who are still living, especially people who love him dearly and close to him, are the one that suffer the most, as they would have to carry this sad emotions and memories with them for their whole life..

I am no professional. I don't think I am eligible to have right to give advices. But, my dear friends, I am always willing to listen. So, to all my friends: Life is not perfect and is never easy. It is never a straight highway to success, always roads fill with curves and turns. Probably, we were meant to swim across river with crocodiles, sail across pacific ocean, go through amazon forests, over mount Everest or whatever it is, before we come to our destination. In that process, accept the facts that there are ups and down, there are shitty times and fucked up moments, always do. So, my point is, I really, truthfully, sincerely, do not wish anyone I knew in my life, whoever you are, have any similar incident happen like above, not even close! No special motives from me, it is just simply because I love you all, dearly! Really, each and everyone of you! As long as you knew me, you spoke to me, then you're my friend, and I would love to be part of your story. At any point in your life, any problems or shitty times you had, you're most welcome to talk to me. I don't promise i give good advices, or have your problem settled, but always will shut my mouth up, only speaks when necessarily when you allow, always have my ears open up, listen to every single word you have to say. That definitely is better than keeping to oneself. And who knows, maybe all that takes to change one person's mind, is to be slightly open up, a bit, just a bit...

 -You only live once, so treasure it as life is precious, live for today only as it is all that matters. Tell the one you loved, you love, to make sure there is no regrets. Live hard, learn hard, party hard!-

  PART II

Alright people, enough of the emoness and quotations, lets reveal the trailer of part of my life in US. As usual, more pictures than words! enjoy~~

First of all, CRAWFISH BOIL !!!! Before I go further, people might ask what the heck is Crawfish. First thing first, it is NOT a fish! Not even similar. It is prawn like aquatic being but it is not a prawn. It looks larger than a prawn but smaller than a lobster, so i guess you can call it a small lobster. It lives in freshwater. It can be found in a few places like Australia, New Zealand and United States. But, In United States, you can't find it in every states but only the Southern Part, and Louisiana is one of the rare state you can find crawfish! So every year, there is a season for crawfish where they reproduce a lot i guess, for people like us to eat them! :p haha!  They taste like ordinary prawns to me, but people here claimed it's different. Oh well..

      Live Craw Fish [BEFORE]

  Cooked Craw Fish [AFTER]


So, I was saying I went to a Crawfish Boil, so i do, with Kenny and Amelia! :)

   Me with the Crawfish, Live!!

        People surrounding table full with craw fish and start peeling and eating

    PROs, so i guess I don't need to introduce much with this babe, I've lots of fun with her!! ;p
___________________________________________________________________________________

Ok, enough of Crawfish Boil. Later some time, I went to the Outlet with a few peeps and it so happens there is car exhibition and I assure you they all look sexy. So, I took a few pics:  :)

    Woohoo~~ How i wish i have one of those. Birthday present for me, anyone? Mummy?? :p

 One of the antiques, and it is still working!!

    :)
___________________________________________________________________________________

Moving on, I went to kenny, chag fong and nic's house for dinner one night. And guess what, I had CHICKEN RICE!!!! My first chicken rice after 3 months in US, and Kenny cooked it, amelia helped out. And for me... I am sitting in the living room playing PS-3.. hehe! Big Thanks to kenny and amelia! :)

   Omg!! chicken rice!!! I assure you they are damn Yummylicious!!

    Kenny, the Great Cook!!

 Amelia, the Great cook-assistant!!

And... I shall be the Great Eater! :p
___________________________________________________________________________________

And just last night, I went to a LSU french opera of "Romeo and Juliet". Hey, and i know watcha thinking! It is not Gay ok, all part of the experience! >,<

Program Book

   Part of the play

     Romeo and Juliet

Actually, that is not what about that night. The thing that made my night is that after the opera was over, I saw  a girl standing against the wall talking with some peeps, and I assure you, she is really really pretty! Drop dead gorgeous i would say! Well, at least that is what I think. Amelia spotted her too and being the bravest among all, she walked up and start a conversation with her. Her name is Aileen, i think, i hope i spelled it correctly. Anyway, we manage to talk for a jiffy and Amelia wanted to take a picture with her so I used my camera and do them a favor: :)

So, here you go:

             Aileen and Amelia. Equally gorgeous! :)

And after that, I am so so sorry Amelia, I didn't mean to do this but I am required to do it.. With the power of Photoshop! and power from mah man, Jay Hong!!! We get this :) :

 I told you guys!! Ain't she drop dead gorgeous?!?! I think she came the wrong place, supposedly Hollywood? ok, I know, I shall stop. :p
__________________________________________________________________________________

And then, for dinner of the night, we went "Pluckers". And, we had 50 buffalo wings!! yes, my friends, 50!!

50 buffalo wings! Flavors of gold rush, teriyaki, lemon, mandarin spicy and Fire in the Hole!!![It's da bomb of  the spiciness!!!]

          And.... 4 of us actually finish every thing :)

                         Kenny took 2 piece of Fire in the hole buffalo wings and he'd been sweating!! :p

               left with bones
__________________________________________________________________________________

Alright! I think it's already very long for this post so i shall end here for this time. Spring break is next week and I am really looking forward to it!!! wheeee~~~~ :D But before that, I've to get through some exams 1st :( Best of luck for me and happy holiday for those who are having hols right now, i'm right behind ya'll!!

Aright! 1st of all, my most sincere apology to y'all, I didn't mean to abandoned my blog, it is just that uni. have been freaking busy this month due to mid terms and stuff, so haven't been really have much free time. Well,life is good! Apart from study life have been pretty sucky at times (all the times!!), life in the States is still pretty fascinating! :)

Lets go a a bit into the study life, Thermodynamics is hard shit! I screw up my 1st test! :( and that nearly drive me insane, literally, as in at that point of time, i feel like jumping down from 11th floors building, inti would be a pretty good choice, huh? :p but of cuz that thought was just pass through my mind for a jiffy, and i snap out of it after that. Well, no one to blame but me. So, I allow myself to be emo. for one day (hey! that's the least i can do! >,<) Now, I've to get damn high score for the next 2 tests and a final exam, it is the only way out. Clearly, i never done this before, but there is a first time for everything, and thermodynamics! you're lucky that you're the 1st that drive my enthusiasm. For other subjects, I am not doing like damn good, but i am doing pretty well i would say. yay me? alright, perhaps not. :p

Alright, move on to social life in United States. Well, my social life expended and i like the way it is expanding ,and i hope it expand bigger. :) Life's not dull, and I went out for a few events last month. I had a awesome time! :) To make this post not too wordy, it'll be more pictures than words alright people!! Enjoy~~

I went to a christian concert last month, thanks to Diego and Reg. It is called the deluge 7!

DELUGE 7

It was pretty cool since this is the 1st time i saw it by myself. The whole place is flooded with gazillion of people jumping and singing. I was amazed. Then, I meet this cute little dude sitting in front of me, I guess he was too bored so he played with me and my friends behind. :P Meet Little Judah!! :

 
                                 Little Judah!                                

Little Judah and me!
People i met at the concert. :)
___________________________________________________________________________________

Then, the following after that was Sandrine's birthday and we went to Labanese Restaurant, which serves Greek cuisines. 

Happy Birthday again Sandrine!! :)


AC and me

___________________________________________________________________________________
Then, the following week i went out with a bunch of ppl from malaysia and hong kong. Awesome time I had! It is nice to hang out with people who shares same or similar culture together. It somehow feels a step closer to home :) We went IHOP, again. :p

 from left: collin, coco, meng li, kar yee, wei ping, chang fong, me, keny and nicholas.

This is Amelia, the girl who took the group picture for us. She is from Miri, exactly the same home town as mine!! And her family and my family were friends for a long time since before we were born, which I clearly didn't know until I got here! How small can a world be? :p  It felt kinda exited to meet someone came from the same exact place as you. :) Friendly and outgoing girl! I am glad i met her! :)
 

The food of the night i ordered! IHOP Beef Omelet. :)
Went skating too at South Baton Rouge :)

:)

 You got the chance to do the hockey pockey dance skating over here. It's always hilarious to watch :p
___________________________________________________________________________________
I didn't get to go anywhere the following week, 1st is cuz of exam. But the main reason is cuz i cute my finger while doing the dishes. I was like washing the glass and out of a sudden it broke and the glass pieces cut right through my finger, a deep one some more! I can see even see my flesh. then, blood start bleeding, i cover it and walk all the way to LSU health center, and damn it is close cuz it is a weekend. xd so, i've to wait until monday only see the doctor. The doctor said i suppose to call the emergency number for situation like this, so now they couldn't stitch it anymore due to infections, so they clean the wound for me, wrap it up and gave me a titannus shot just in case. The glass that cut my finger is from walmart, can i sue them pls and get million of dollars??? pretty pls? xD
_________________________________________________________________________________

Just today, I went to Lafayette. :) Thanks to Nicholas who came all the way down from South Baton Rouge and pick me up all the way up to Lafayette. It is one hour car distant from Baton Rouge. We skated again, with different people this time. :) There is a little girl over there who look not more than 7 years old and she skate like the olympics! I got surffed but damn, I've to admit she's good!! xd Later at night, we went to Texas Road House for dinner! We waited for like half an hour cuz is a Saturday, full of people! But, it worth the time waiting cuz the food was yummy and delicious!!! :D

P/S: I dun have the photos for today's yet, but i'll upload as soon as i get them. :)

I ordered the Sirloin Steak and Ribs Combos, came with mash potatoes and seasoned rice. Dun you just love yummy food? :p
___________________________________________________________________________________

Well, so far that is all about it. :) Next week, days full with assignments again, and i got two exam too! Well, wish me luck people! :)

Before I call it out, a few words i wanna say to my dear all :) People told me, close friends are hard to meet, and u'll not even meet one in your life, or probably just a few. But, Imma have to disagree with that saying today, cuz i'm blessed with close friends from God! not one, not two or three, but alot. I know you guys will always support and stand by me no matter what kinda shit situation I am in, and clearly u guys already did it all these while! Thanks for calling and skyping constantly with me although we're in different place. Call and talk to me as soon as u guys knew i was not alright. I really appreciate it. And some even still call me when they face problems, I am really happy cuz Charles came across your mind when u have probs, and that's what friends for. I miss you all dearly and i hope for the best for you all too!!

 P/S: I dun mention names bcuz you guys know who you are! :)

Peace Out!

T.I.G.E.R  

Posted by Char135

2010 is a year of Tiger. Chinese New Year has already began back in Malaysia and other asian countries I suppose, but hmm, can't really feel the CNY atmosphere in Baton Rouge. Well, it is a bit sad, but hey! at least I still got my one week holiday in conjunction to Mardi Gras Festival!! If I'm not mistaken, it is a one week holiday for Louisiana only. =D For any peeps who have question on What is Mardi Gras, please follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Mardi_Gras :) To all my friends in Louisiana, you guys have a great hols alright! God bless and i love ya'll!! :) To all my friends at other parts of United Sates/ Canada: God bless ya'll too! Do Study hard! party hard (if there is time), and oh well, you guys can start getting jealous now. hehe! :p I love all of you too!! :) As for my CNY this year, although I can't celebrate like the past at here, but I'm pretty sure that Malaysians and Chinese here will come up with something, and I'm sure it'll gonna be equally cool and fun!! However, I can't actually the whole week off though, due to exams and assignments due dates are gonna be right after the holidays ends, so MAN!! i still gotta study! Sucks! xd

P/S: Jacqueline, Chan fong, Morgan and etc: When are we getting drunk again? xD

Enough of CNY :) I had an awesome time for the past two weeks, well, despite of exams, assignments, due dates and etc. xd But overall, I enjoyed myself here so far, and i hope, and I believe, life is so gonna get even better!! :) One of the night last week, I went of out with a bunch of American and international friends to have dinner outside and seriously, I had a awesome time! :) It is so cool that different people from different nation and states can come together and have great time! There are New Orleans, Boston, Baton Rouge, Nigeria, South Korea, China, Africa and etc. Now, That's Cool! ;)

 With a bunch of great peeps, having dinner at a Chinese restaurant and the food was ok.

I love this people :)

:)

Alright, another happening thing happened in The US: SUPER BOWL 2010!!!!
 It is the football (Rugby) match of the season in US man!! In Malaysia and other countries, soccer is like THE SPORT! World Cup and Premier league is like THE GAME!! Now, here in US, football (Rugby) is THE SPORT and Super Bowl is THE GAME!! It is in Miami and sadly i can't be there to watch the LIVE myself, so i watch on TV (LIVE) with lots and lots of other peeps. Everyone is crazy, shouting and cheering!! THE SAINTS vs. THE COLTS.

 
COLTS-SAINTS


THE COLTS versus THE SAINTS

Well, although I'm not a American, but i go with the culture here! Cheer as crazy as them too! :) The Saints is from New Orleans and New Orleans is in Louisiana. I am in Louisiana so I support THE SAINTS!!! :) After long hours of match, FINALLY, THE SAINTS beat COLTS by 17-31!!! WooHoo~~~ People Cheer, jump, scream like crazy, never before. Craziness can be heard and seen from every corner. I am happy for The Saints too!! Geaux Saints!! WhoDat!! :)

Congats to THE CHAMPION: THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!!
WHOdAT!!

Alright, some more coming up. :) Before I go on, let me explain the weather of baton rouge or more like weather of Louisiana. Weather here is pretty weird, you can get sunny for today day and rainy the other day. Cold for today, freezing cold for another day and somehow it gets warm again. Temperature here changes like mad. And Louisiana is in the southern part of united states, so means that technically, Louisiana actually don't and won't snow. Now, the weather got even weirder, It actually snowed in Baton Rouge, how weird can it go further more? xd Yesterday, I woke up in the morning, get ready to go for class as usual, and when i look out the window, i'm like, is it raining? i look closer, zomg!! it is actually snowing! I felt happy for a while cuz maybe i thought there will be no class, and who knows when i check my email, class is carry on as usual. Damn it!!! xd But, it was not a scene you see everyday in Baton Rouge, so, i took some pictures :) Enjoy.. :

 The snow actually covered the whole car and nearly the whole ground, it is pretty amazing it can actually snowed that long in baton rouge.. :)


 I like this. The WHITE ZONE and the GREEN ZONE. :p

Frosty the Snowman [a bit retarded i know, jst bare with it :p] 


I was in a rush for class so Diego took a quick picture for me before I head off (i'm already late actually.. :p]


Alright, I gotta run again.. Before I end, I would like to wish all my family and friends, no matter where you guys are, whether is it malaysia, united states, canada, united kingdom, australia, singapore or where ever it is, Happy Chinese New Year to all of you!! :) Have a superb CNY and I wish ya'll have a great year ahead!! :)

P/S: I LOVE YOU ALL!! :)


:) Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine <3
