I met Malaysia national badminton players in Murni

Last Monday, my ex-roomate, Kai Wern suggested to fetch us to Murni to enjoy some great food after getting bored with the college food. As we were enjoying, a gang of person came in and sat beside us. Wow... Unbelievable, one of them is Malaysia badminton double player, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari. If you are not sure who is that, see the picture below.
Left is him, Mohd fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari and on the right is his partnet, Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif. Picture taken at Djarum Indonesia Super Series 2008 badminton championships in Jakarta June 22, 2008.
Of course, all of us are excited and keep on discussing about him. After finish our meal, one of us asked to take a photo with this great player. He was very friendly too. Lol...
Yea, this is the picture. From right, Kai Wern, Me, Han Long, Yee Fan, Eric and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari.
When we were ready to leave, we saw another players too who are Malaysia women double's top seed players, Chin Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty. But, we didn't take photo with them. That day was a wonderful day. Next time, we must visit Murni more frequently. Who knows? Maybe we can meet Lee Chong Wei next time. Haha...

Playing squash for SUKMUM

Don't be surprised when you see the title, the title is 100% true and of course, your eyes has no problem too. In fact, I myself also get stunned when I think about it again.

Actually, the scenario is like this. When the person in charge in my college find my ex-roomate (who I believe is the only one person that know how to play squash in my college) to participate in SUKMUM squash and ask him to find some of his friends to participate, since there are no enough players to participate and I think this is a good time to learn a new sport, therefore I just ask my friend to write my name down in the list. Moreover, it maybe can help me to get a place to stay in college next year.

Ok. My first match is versus 8th college. After practising with my friends for 30 minutes, then I just went to the match. I'm the last player in my team, since my team able to win only 1 set out of 5 set, therefore, I have no much pressure when I down to the court as the result already clearly shown. My rival is a 3rd year student and of course is much better than me. =) Not really willing to tell the result here but just to let you guys can imagine the gap between us, the result is necessary. LOL... 9-0, 9-0, 9-1... Luckily, still able to get 1 point in the last set. LOL...


The whole team for squash players

The second match is tougher which versus with 5th college. For your information, 5th college has alot of UM player and the UM number 1 player also in this college. This time, we are not that lucky because none of us can win any set. Hmm... About my result, is still lousy but at least better than the first time which is 9-0, 9-0, 9-2. Haha... 1 point difference.
Roomate and teamate... Haha...
Eventhough we unable to make 11th college proud, at least we have tried to do our best. And, for my own benefit, I really appreciate this chance because can gain some new experiences and learn a new skill. Perhaps, I will sharpen my skill in this whole year and down to the court on the coming SUKMUM. ^^

A Wednesday incident

Wednesday is a very free day for engineering students as that day is specifically for PKUM (Persatuan Kejuruteraan University Malaya) activities. As for my course, my class only at morning 9am to 10am. Hence, I decided to go for a movie with my brother for my afternoon activity.

4.45pm. My brother's class overed and came to my college ready to fetch me to midvalley. According to my plan, we were going by motorcycle. However, 1 thing run off from the smooth plan. My brother forgot to bring helmet for me. Just in case you don't know, UM is very strict for the rules for motorcyclists. Never mind, since my brother can borrow helmet from his friends.

Ok. When we on the way to 12th college to find my brother's friend which is just about 150m away from my college, unlucky incident happened. UM security staff was come on the opposite way and is already not enough time for my brother to drop me off at the roadside. At the same time, 'pit pit' the horn sound already sounded from the security car. No choice, we have to stop and start debating with the security staff in order to avoid from a compound.

Below is the brief conversation between us with the security staff:

Brother: Ahhh, bang... Sorry arr.... Hanya hantar dia dari sana (pointing to my college) ke sini saja...
Security: Ini mana boleh...
Brother: Sorry la... Jalan tadi nampak dia baru hantar dia punya... Sorry la...
Security: Erm... Jangan bagi saya tengok lagi. Saman u baru tau...

The end of the story. Fortunately, the security staffs were too lazy to come down from his van to give us a compound, if not, my wallet has to bleed again. However, this few sentences has already spoilt my whole day mood. Anyway, plan still going on and that day, I watched 'Diary of the Dead'. Is just an average movie, if the number of horror scenes can be increased then is much better.
