Insert Title Here =D

Haha caught you. THIS will be my last post in Teluk Intan. *groans, not again Shawn. Enough of posting crap*

So being the last day of home cooked meals, hot long showers, nice warm bed and lazing around all day waking up at 11, I'm really going through a tough time. I'm excited at all the preparation for college like shopping and err shopping and more shopping. Parents do spend a lot on children wether they have attained scholarships or not(remind me to not have more than 2 children, please).

Woke up today knowing it's the last time I'll be getting up in that bed for a long time to come. Feeling a lil anxious about leaving home for the first and probably last time(I know I hear people saying "Aiyo going to KL only la, like this how to fly off to India?"). Excited at the daunting prospect of meeting new people(girls la! guys sorry la no time jkjk) and hopefully adapting well into the new environment and social circle. My main concerns about a new study environment firstly is how tough the syllabus is and secondly my clique. Hopefully I can fit in =D

So after packing like half the house(ahha I packed less than Chris who is taking her whole house with her =p), now it's time to relax a lil. Daniel asked me if he could bring along his teddy, I asked him if I could bring along my lifesized pink pig plush toy to KTT*wink*

Kimmy said I would be feeling Happy, Excited, Scared, Nervous, Sad, Enthusiastic, Anxious, Curious and Reluctant. *Says in an Indian accent* You read my mind. Don't put words in my mouth =p At least I'll be taking you along to college, Kimmy. O and A levels =D And yeah Kimmy I am feeling all of those. Very rojak-ky.

One part of is wishing that I had everlasting holidays. Boring but it's nice lazing around eating lasagna(no I'm not Garfield don't worry) and being online all day. At the same time another part of me can't wait to go to KTT. Mounting anticipation. Will people there be friendly or snobbish cause they got JPA? Hmm. All sorts of people going to be coming with different backgrounds. Hopefully no truckloads of stuff(but if got right, you're welcome to be my housemate =D provided you have a fridge and an air cond =p joking joking).

Anyways I'm gonna off the laptop now since I'm gona leave for Prescott Hotel, Klang where I'll be staying a night before the beginning of an epic tale of 400 Malaysian warriors battling it out against an evil organisation called Cambridge A Levels. LOL.

~Shawn signing out from TI~ for real this time xD

Etched In My Memory Forever

Hmm so unlike me to post a emo/sad post. Well there's always light at the end of the tunnel. So even a sad post gona be ending happily =D i hope. Since I'll be leaving for college in like 4 days time, thought I'd do a recollection of what I'm leaving behind.
Me and Nana(grandma, Yes she's Chinese and Yes she's in a Saree =D go figure)


Family. Well I'm surely gonna miss Daddy and Mummy, Shearn, Nana and even my maid Sri. Don't worry guys I'll keep ya'll in my prayers always. No such thing as lost in sight lost in thought. Daddy take care of your health and Mummy you too. I'll keep my blog updated so mummy you can keep checking it. Shearn don't forget to study or else there won't be 2 doctors in the family(but none medical cause I'm Dental and he aspires to be a Vet) Nana you take care too and take care alright. Sri thanks for spending time to refresh my knowledge of washing, ironing and folding clothes. I've been refining my washing techniques =D dip scrub dip scrub rinse dry(hate the slippery feel of detergent).

Left to right : Me, Daddy, Mummy, Shearn. Taken in Ryan's lawn, Brisbane.



Then comes my not so immediate family. Pets =D. Gonna miss and Samantha(cutey labrador)Sasha and Salem(Cat and her Kitten) Don't be too naughty while I'm away k? And no more extra food for you between meals aww. Don't grow up too fast Salem aight? (I might be going 2 Salem, India for Dentistry so maybe the kitten was a sign from God? Hmm?)

Samantha, my Golden Labrador


Sasha and her kitten, Salem. So gona miss them =(



Dosen't he look absolutely adorable =D


Next comes friends. Sadly most of my friends are gone off. Leaving me the last person still stuck in Teluk Intan(not that Sepang is any better off =.=) Kumar & Waraan in Matrix, Satish Taylors, Gan & Weng Lam, LuLu f6, Pei Wen KDU, Tashi some U in Johore, Prakash in Form 6 Sitiawan, Jeya KTAR, Siew Shia & a few in UTAR, Shivaram err somewhere LOL. Guo Sheng and Yeet Chien gona be nearby in INTI. Anyway school life was the best time of my life. Skipping classes, misusing prefects authority, looooong trips to the 1km-away school toilets, hanging out in PK KOKO's(Mr Rafie Ravi) room. Ahh those were the days. (BTW Khairy(sej teacher) even though you cursed us to fail coz we were bodoh, most of us got A1s, NO THX TO YOU! Speed reading in your dreams sucker.)

Mr Rafie and us. Skipping Sejarah class and relaxing in air cond taking pics =D




Group pic! Some ppl missing T_T(ignore the Malay boys in the back =.=)



Left to right : Me, Jeya, Kumar, Gan. Pala Two Street Gang =D



Group pic with Mr. Raja(Est teacher)


Still remember teasing Satish a lot. Waraan was the main person teasing him then they would kiss and make up(okay not literally kiss but you get what I mean). Then Satish will ask Waraan, "Apa you nak saya belanja?". Then me and Kumar would be going, "Satish why you so dumb?". And Gan and Jeya erhems gays jkjk! =D LOL. Jeya with his daughter woo woo lotsa speculation. Too bad she was my kai mui so i was involved too =.=". Gan with his everlasting quest to woo Juli but flirting with sooo many other girls. No wonder you couldn't get her . Look at me and Kumar. Loyal, faithful, good guys =D. Kumar and I agreed that 1st gf/relationship is most of the time doomed. LOL. And to my ex, if you are reading this, thank you for all the good memories. And all the best in your SPM next year. And to Kumar's ex, yes yes you're a daughter of a doctor but you failed BIO. Awww. HAHA!

Anyways those were the days la. Even in accounts tuition it was damn fun. Siew Shia like a psycho always disturbing people. Mrs Bala always picking on me, Kumar's and Jeya's. Yes Mrs. Bala thx for being so hard on us. She never expected me to get an A1 for accounts BUT I PROVED YOU WRONG =D. Always harping about "I'm gona tell your mother, Shawn about your accounts" Yada yada yada tell la =.= Anyway the next I'm in TI im gonna drop by your place =D

The uhh supposed to be Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan(Why not so senget wan a)



Last but not least, I'm gonna miss Teluk Intan. Yes it is a slow-paced small town but I'm gonna miss it anyways. Even though it lacks entertainment as in theatres and malls but the supermarkets are sufficient for a small-town boy like me(Okay who am I kidding, I WANT MALLS!). Gonna miss the Leaning Clocktower(though I've only been up it once but it was a nice outing =D) and the FOOD. Chee Cheong Fun, the Soya man at the corner, Popiah at Bumbung Biru, Mastan Ghani's Mee Rebus, Mee Suah, Chin San okay okay lets cut it short =D (More pictures of Teluk Intan in my friendster group named Teluk Intaners. I'm the group leader btw of 1.5k people yay =D) Gonna miss church every Sunday with my family. It's a very nice time of week where we get to socialise and praise the Lord.(psst it's the only place where I can sing my lungs out too =D)

Here a bit more senget LOL. Bad photographers. It REALLY LEANS LA!



St. Anthony's church. Yes I'm Catholic =D (Waa this looks more leaning than the clocktower LOL)

All in all, I'm going to dearly miss everything espcially my family. Guess it's time for me to spread my wings and fly. Millions of teenagers are experiencing this and now it's my turn. Hopefully old friends keep in touch with me and new friends are waiting to be made. Who will be my clique in KTT?....

Let fate decide. God bless us all.

Last words, every1 back in Teluk Intan, take care, be happy, healthy and all the best. I'll be back soon to create havoc and choas in Teluk Intan don't worry. =D

Signing off from Teluk Intan. Probably my last ever post in Teluk Intan. Ciaoz.

I shook Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu's hand =D


That's the name of the award and the booklet that we were given.

I hear some people going "Big deal la Shawn". Well it is NOT that big a deal but I didn't know what to put as the title that would be an eye catcher =D *anyway how many of you have shaken TOP Politicians'(HAHAHA I crack myself up, TOP lol) hands?
Anyway, that's what i wore yesterday minus the tie. Pardon the messy room I was in a rush(but of course had time to SS xD)

So anyways, before heading off to KL for the 8th President's Merit Award(waa high class name arr LOL) we went to see daddy in the hospital. He seemed okay and supposed to be back home by now(Thursday morning) but he's waiting for the doc or smth like that. We always get stares in the hospital coz my dad looks like an Indian, my mum and me look Malay and my grandma looks and is a Chinese. They'll be speculating hundreds of theories =D




So I drove to KL(yeap I really did =D) with my mum and my grandma. Mummy was wearing a nice black dress(aiya no pic) and Nana(my granny) was wearing a nice grand saree(yes she's Chinese =D) The journey was incidentless UNTIL.......OMGGGGGGGGGG We saw an ADVERTISEMENT ABOUT KTT ON A FLYOVER!! Like OMG! LOL! Here's the evidence for all those non-believers and sceptical people. Yes yes it is almost unbelievable =D *almost*



(Scroll down for the unbelievable pic =D)

(TaDaa!!!)

Haha nice huh?


So then we arrived at the Plus Toll. My 1st time using Touch n Go so was kinda nervous. Seen my dad do it a million times but it seemed so easy but in reality its not. So i went and drove close to the edge of the toll but alas, not close enough. Had to reverse and do some adjustment. Then swiped the card and on the way out *THUNK* Side mirror hit the railing. I was like DAMN. Luckily no scratches phew.


So arrived at PWTC and then we parked and was walking towards the lobby when a girl and her parents walked past us. I was like trying 2 be humble and smiled but they were with their noses pointing towards the sky(or the darkly lit ugly underground parking ceiling in this case). [[When the function was over, we met them again at parking and asked what I'm doing. Said i got JPA and she pulak from private sch so konon slim chance for jpa so didnt apply. Mentah mentah we found out she got 9As hahahaha! Private sch hmp. Lansi only.]]

So we took a lift and when it opened, ...... it was like I had stepped into India O.o soooooo many people and all Indians. Registered and met Sanatha. Yamuna(Waraan's cousin) walked past us and again with the 'Nose pointing towards the sky'(Beautiful ceiling in this case. Maybe she was admiring the craftsmanship. NOT! lol). That's the problem with most Indians. When they have done well, all think they're bloody good and become stuck up.



Entered into the Dewan Merdeka. Well it takes a considerably amazing thing to astound me and the hall was impressive. Didn't expect to have tables and all. Sat down in the middle of the hall(table number 48). 3 families to a table so it was mine, a Shaun Abraham and Shervinjit's family. Well the guy was kinda quiet but Shervin looked great lol.









ANYWAY, the tables are numbered so those behind us were dumber(yes i'm blunt =D) and those in front were a LIL TEESY WEENY bit smarter =D. Had a Bharanatium(i spelt it myself) kinda dance. And food was okay-ish but the cordial drink was terrible. Like sugar water with piss-coloured colouring(not putting u off ur dinner am I?). You can catch glimpses of the drinks there =D


So after that was Datuk Seri's speech. Near the end he said "Everyone give a round of applause for the all the students", clap clap clap. Then he said "Students give a round of applause for yourselves" and a few people clapped. Then ended his speech abruptly after that saying he was disappointed that the students didn't wana congratulate themselves. I was like o.O drama betol LOL. Then we lined up and went to get our trophy from Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu.



Here is the good part..

























And the most eagerly anticipated 'award' =D is below HAHA!

RM1000 and zero cents ONLY =D whee thx a lot~!

And here is the pic we took. From left to right (Shervin, Prittipal, Me and Nat) 3 of us going to KTT excluding Shervin(wasted =D)..


So that concludes the award ceremony i guess. It was a nice occasion I guess. Finally gotta meet my Indian 'brothers and sisters'. Wish i had met with more sisters though LOL. I'm joking =.=

KL/KTT Trip

Last Saturday on our dear Agong's birthday, me and my family headed down to KL for a well earned holiday(for them, cause i've been on permenant holidays anyway =D).

So blahdeblahblah used the normal bumpy Behrang way to go to KL. Headed down to Mid Valley as usual =.= Think i've been more times to Mid Valley than my local supermarket(The Store in Teluk Intan). Parking was hell. After roaming around and stalking people with plastic bags(hehehe *evil grin* esp the cute chicks with shopping bags lol nono I was with my family =D) we finally parked illegally.






~Note the big P sticker, it's red to warn people that a mad raving lunatic(me) might be driving~

Anyways, went into some sports shop as usual and hunting for nice tees. Actually bought an Adidas tee to my suprise =D


So we thought of going to Nando's or Kenny Rogers for lunch, then spotted a lil girl(no I wasnt looking at her or anything) wearing a Burger King crown. All the desire for chicken was replaced by mouth watering thoughts of Mushroom burgers and Whoppers and Onion Rings LOL. Good advertisement la Burger King lol *salutes Burger King*

Went off to McD to get the oh-so-lovely-but-fattening McFlurry Oreo Mmmmm yummy. U'll appreciate it if ur town/city dosen't have a McD in it.
Next went to Jusco and got myself a pair of grey pants(snails whee =D)..Could u imagine how difficult it is to get short sleeved plain shirts for an affordable price in Jusco? Amazing =.=
Then headed over to Yamaya to check out the guitars. Asked about the ones with the pick-ups
(the ones with the jacks to connect to the amp).
The guy explaining was so passionate about the
guitars like he was talking about a person(hmm reminded me of Kimmy talking about her cat, Fluffy xD big and handsome ehh? =D) *inserts Fluffy's picture here lol I don't have his pic aww*

And now Daniel's talking passionately about a Macbook LOL.









Had some delicious Popiah. Can't beat Teluk Intan's one though. Come over, I'll treat u guys to the world's best popiah =D cheap summor haha.





So next day(Sunday), we checked out of Prescott Hotel Klang and headed down to Kolej Teknologi Timur, Sepang.


Tadaaa!! Does my pic look better than the one at the Website? Does it? =D
Nice place to study away from any sort of entertainment(Mahendran the senior was vividly pointing this out to my parents and they were *nod nod* good good *evil smile*) Hahaha.



Here are the abandoned shoplots. Should be scary at night. Lets go check them out =D And the houses aren't far, just up a small hill. No pics tho coz they look like ordinary houses. Terraced of course. Nice n cosy though =D





This wan pulak the KFC near KTT around 5 minutes. It's in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. Nice small town. Very slow and dreamy feeling about the place. Like it's stuck in limbo. Hmm over expressive nii. LOL

This wan pulak is the MiniMarket of KTT. Can go get all our stuff from here =D


Final thoughts..
1. Daddy's in hospital cause he had a heart attack. Take care and have a speedy recovery daddy.
2. Went to visit him today (Tuesday) and he seems to be better^^ That's great news =D
PS: Remember to always tell ur parents 'I love you' and hug and kiss them. Love you daddy n mummy. Okay enough mushy mushy stuff LOL.

Nostalgic Post =D

Since Da Shu aka Big ... TREE(see i'm so nice =D) asked me to post my (past) works of art so nicely, and me being a nice person(perasan pulak lol) decided to post em.


Remember these are from my Standard 6 or Form 1 days(I think, right Tyng? In Mr Koh. When was it arr?) Now I can't really do stuff like these lol coz no art teacher for so long and organ also the same, no teacher. Woes of a small town kid =D





This is my favourite piece =D Colourful butterflies

This one is err positive negative effect?
On these cute lil seahorses =D or horsea(pokemon haha)




Small kid also doing heart shapes LOL.
With batik print and dry water colour brushing? I forgot lol.





This is for some kempen but it's not a competition worthy piece lol.
So anyways, these remind me of the past when i was in Division 3 and taking the Unitata van(seriously teruk van, with the door sometimes can't close and once it fell off onto the road! Serious!) Hmm those were the days huh. Hmmmmm..
..
