Wheee....Today was fun. Went Jalan Raya with all the PBMA peeps. And the great thing? No MRT or bus 'cause there were cars!!!

Hehe. No need to sweat in the hot sun while going to each other's houses. =)

Let's see, the drivers were Fadhil (Mitsubishi Lancer), Amirul (Honda Jazz), Hashir (Volkswagen Golf then switched with a Merc) and lastly Nuurun (Toyota Avio).

The great thing about cars is that we don't have to waste so much time travelling. And thanks to this little convenience, we managed to cover about 11 houses within 12 hours. And there was even time to get lost along the way. =)

Ouh. And I guess I shouldn't be saying this but, we did a bit of racing on the way too. Haha. All I can say is Fadhil is quite good beind the wheel (mainly 'cause I was in his car all the way. Hehe). Okay, I'll admit, Amirul's quite good behind the wheel too.

I think this is a very memorable Jalan Raya 'cause it's the first time we drove around. Hopefully I can join in next year and take my dad's Mazda3 for a spin. Then we'll see who's the top driver...

I thought I'd post up a music video. This one's a new one from All That Remains. It's for their song Two Weeks. I love how Phil Labonte does a lot more singing in this song. He actually has quite a good voice. There's still a screaming backing track there so you still get those intense vocals. This is also one of the best solos I've heard from Oli Herbert. Oh yeah, the theme behind the vid is quite cool too.

Two Weeks by All That Remains

And you neglected I called you out don't please
I said we're stronger than this now
You resurrected mistakes years past it seemed
And they exist to still haunt you

And still you feel like the loneliness
Is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way
And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
Don't leave, don't give up on me
Two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you

I wanted nothing but for that trust again
And brick by brick you would take it
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you
You still saw fit to destroy it

And still you feel like the loneliness
Is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way
And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
Don't leave don't give up on me
Two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you

And you neglected I called you out don't please
I said we're stronger than this now
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you
You still saw fit to destroy it

And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
Don't leave don't give up on me
Two weeks you ran away

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
Don't leave don't give up on me
Two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you

Here's a little vid put together by my supervisor at EMRS. I'm not in it much mainly 'cause I joined them after 3 weeks and there are few pics of me in the events I was involved in. Oh yeah, Team 5 pic also doesn't have my face...But the memories are there.




ELDC starts tomorrow. They say it'll be quite slack but I doubt it'll be as fun as EMRS.

Aww man...I'll never forget today's date. It marks the end of pretty much the best 6 weeks of my life at NYP. I don't think it can get any better than my time at EMRS. At the start of TEP I was actually bummed that I got split from my class to go to EMRS. But now I see it was all worth it. It was only 6 weeks but damn we bonded well together. We were pretty much family when we left the room for the last time today. No disrespect to my classmates from DBI, but it seems that I just clicked in with the guys there. It was such a breath of fresh air considering that I had only 4 days of rest after my last exam paper before going off for TEP. And it was also a bit of ironic considering that for Entrepreneurship last semester, I did an events management company.

But I guess what worked was that there was a right mix of people there. Kinda like back in Anderson Sec. So you never really got bored with the people there. And I looked forward to going there every goddamn day. I had OT to claim and I really saw no reason to take it. I did not mind waking at 7:00 in the morning everyday and jamming myself into a train to get to school. I even left my guitar there to pass the time. The only downside was that I was fasting during most of my time there. So it got kinda boring during lunch.

Still, I feel like going to the room on Monday instead of ELDC just for the fun of it. I doubt they really de-activated my card. I'll go there and freak out the new round of students. Haha.

Well, I guess this set of lyrics from an All That Remains song can really sum things up.

"It's been so long since I could say
I've needed anything stronger
We can't be wrong when we have ties that bind us
If I rely and I know the strength
In those who taught me of the
Power of the ties that bind"

- from 'Chiron' by All That Remains
