2DAC(3) Farewell Lunch

posted by Alvin Chan

Diploma is over (I hope I didn’t fail any of the last 2 papers), and so we had our farewell lunch yesterday at Canness Tea at Genting Klang.

This will be a picture post.

Some photos are pretty blur as the snapper did not focus first as DSC-W30 takes some time to focus a rather large image =/

It’s a great time having fun with you all yesterday, and yea Happy Birthday Cynthia, and Wah Sew in advance( psst… tomorrow).

For the rest who can’t make it yesterday, I’m sure we can make it some other days…


p/s: psst, grab some videos cammed by Kean Huat from me. GG!

Chinese New Year At Teacher’s House

posted by Alvin Chan

It’s been nearly 2 month since the last post, that’s because I’m packed with other things and hardly got myself time to manage this blog. But anyway by request from all, I’ll post all the photos of the gathering at our form 5 Bio teacher’s house. This will be a brief post and I’ll be back to blogging in a few weeks time.

July

I lost my collection of pictures for the months after July. I wonder too how do I recover them back as its amounting right up to nearly 25GB. This month is where I celebrated my birthday with friends at the top of Fraser Hill. It’s a nice experience as all I need to do is sleep in the car and we’re on top of the hill in a less than an hour, with the rising moon reflecting its light on us.

August

Test drive Mitsubishi Lancer GT 2.0 which just got launched in Malaysia at a nice price tag for a Completely Built Up unit all the way from Japan.

September

Photos of this month gone missing too. It’s exam season so I’m just cranking up with books and notes.

October

Things got tense up in this months as some friends are having money issues among each other.

November

Up to Genting occasionally to get fresh air after a small relief of the mid-terms which comes to us every week for the the whole 10 weeks.

December

Party up for Christmas at friends place. However, things got worst for the days that follow which I won’t elaborate further.

I hope 2008 will be a better year for me, 2006 and 2007 is almost hellish for me.
