Sem Break

It was almost 2 months ago when I finished my last paper for my foundation studies, that is the irritating Chem II. My sem break officially started at that moment. After I reached home at 9pm and packed all my things, I manage to have a 4-hour sleep before we hit the road again to Penang International Airport. Taken 3 flights in a day, we finally reach CHINA! syiok! hahaha. It is an enjoyable 6 days trip with my family, but about a day's time was spent on the airplane. I think I need to fill up hundreds more piggy banks if I want to go for the next trip, haha. FAMA 100% sponsor la actually.


After back to home, I spent most of my time at home watching TV dramas and surfing the web. I did turn up for some friends gathering too. Apart from that, I went swimming, futsal, badminton, football and basketball, but only once for each sports. Then I also continued practising my driving skills. But the most important things I did during the sem break was to EAT! My mom prepared some of my favourites, as shown below.


Dunno what it is called

On 8th Jan, I had to bring along my matric card for the first time since the sem break started because I was back to UTP and worse off, without my laptop! It was then that I realised that if I did not online, I actually had at least 6 hours of free time a day. Boredom set me off to Kampar. JL, CY and me went to visit Jason for the first time. Thanks Jason for allocating time to take us around Kampar. It is undeniable that we three UTPians envied Jason because Kampar was really a food paradise if compared to UTP.


Didn't take any other pictures, just took the pic of the Grand Kampar Hotel


The next day, I was standing somewhere I never set foot in before. Looking up into the sky, two big buildings blocked my sight. They are the Petronas Twin Towers. We were there to gather before heading for Port Dickson for Soaring The Eagle (STE) Programme. Casa Rachado was the resort we stayed. I enjoyed the 5 days camp and learnt something, something that I can merely remember already, haha.



KLCC + STE



I went back Alor Star for a week before going back to UTP again to indulge myself for the last time before the new sem started. I finally entered degree and the first 2 days were like WTFook. The confusing timetable kept stars circling above my head like the ring of light. Everything hasn't settled down for the moment. Anyway, I enjoyed my sem break, a lot.
