I'm now working as a part-time promoter for Haagen Dazs new flavour- Mango & Passion fruit. The job will last for 3 weekends, in which 2-3th August will be the last round of work. Prior to this, I had worked under King's for Buds and King's temptation ice-cream series a few years back. Mango & Passion fruit is irresistible to me, as mango is always my first choice of all other flavours, the passion fruit bits further enhance the taste making the ice-cream a little sourish.I think this is what led me to accepting this job as I will get unlimited supply of ice-cream besides the wages.
Come to think of it, I will need to ready a sum of money for preparation for uni. Let alone the tuition fees, I'll have to earn sufficient amount of money to do some shopping besides buying the electrical gadgets, which I've started last month. That means I'll have to save a few thousands at minumum before I can touch my new camera, and possibly notebook as well.I bet this best explains my workaholic lifestyle for the past few months, as all these expenditures will be coming out from my pocket without having to dig into past savings account.
Speaking about uni, everything is on its progression, as for visa issuance and flight reservation. My dad has just subbed a credit card for me in case of emergency matters( with a limitation, of course XD) .Other that that,I've just registered myself for an English proficiency test, LPI which will be held on the second day I reach Vancouver. Besides that, I'm on the way settling my subjects registration and fitting every single subject required into my timetable.In addition, I've to confirm my booklist for book reservation to ensure the books availability meanwhile enjoying the special discounted rate.About the accommodation , I'm quite abandoned by the on-campus housing, even after appeal has been made. Fortunately, I've found myself a suitable lodging to rent with its strategic location and reasonable room rate , about 20 minutes bus ride from the campus, and another 15-20 minutes bus ride to downtown and Chinatown. I hope they don't disappoint me on my room reservation though.Besides that, I'll be given an U-Pass exclusively for UBC students for public transportation , which will cost me CAD 23.75 per month, CAD 190 for a semester to be precise.
Before a round of farewell gatherings, I'll be off to Vietnam for a week to visit my elder sister and her family on the 10th August. Vietnam is quite a good place for its local delicacies and shopping means. The bad side will be of an unstable electricity supply due to insufficient power to generate electricity.My brother-in-law has bought a generator to get rid of it, or else Jia Huey will be on fever on and off.
About farewell, I've started to expand my imagination after being told about the surprise party and stuff, I think I roughly know the planning in my mind,so let's see if it matches with their real planning or not. Mk suggested to have a yumcha session before sending me for my flight, that'll be a good idea of course,even if it fails, we'll still have regular hangouts before that. Chew Lian has informed me about the surprise party and roughly told me the attendance, plus some surprises. Wei Lun also hints me on a surprise he would give if he could make it on time. Lastly, it'll be my 2 secondary buddies who plan to have an outing on 23th August, for a deep talk maybe? I always enjoy those good chatting times we have.It seems like everyone is trying to surprise me for this time, should I be ready for it? Anyhow, let's just have fun like usual for the one last time before I leave.
All in all, my August timetable will be fabulous for sure, with a lot of happening things occurring in a shot. After August, it'll be time to shut down my playing mood and return to my student's life. Being a student is always a joy at all times.
August, I'm coming. Or should I say, Vancouver, I'm coming?

To my one "sejuk" friend
" I like your haircut"
This was what he complimented on my short hair during the early few months of knowing him.
He looks gentleman, knowledgeable, funny and polite. He has what it takes to conquer many girls' heart ( Aiseh, am I exaggerating too much?? Iskandar XD),that was one of the first impressions about you which I heard from the others. However, I can't agree more to tag him as an out-going, creatively funny creature whom I coincidentally bumped into last year.
Crazy...
He's generous enough to show crazy yet funny poses for us to snap a picture of it, and add into his series of "collection" , be it on our cell phones, cameras or wherever place that we put them. He never fails to make you laugh at the end of the day!
Cute...
Despite being funny and crazy most of the times, he has his sweetie cutie moment as well.
Don't believe it?? See this....
With this picture, I strongly believe that he could have been so pretty in a lacey dress, shiny hair band and a pair of ballerina shoes. WHooHoo Iskandar ! *whistles* XD
Cool....
He is an inherently cool guy I feel, with his addictive characteristics, in which I feel that's contributing to his coolness and friendliness. His coolness raised when I first watched his performance on stage, XD I think it's the sunglasses that kills. *suddenly thought of Alex's mop-and-broom dance*. His performance with our other Ausmatians is vividly on my mind, the moment where we all cheered out loud just for them-the Ausmatians march intake 07. I came to a point where I felt so indifferent having to think of the bunch of friends whom I shared lectures and classrooms with for almost a year already, having to spend half my day with them daily at that time.
Thank you for all the good shows you all put up.
I did not have enough time with him last year, but most of the moments were crazy ones. I mean, I only took a formal photo of us throughout the year, and to be precise,that took place on the last day of our course(equivalently to our Prom Night),excluding some of his exclusive shots scatteringly shared among us, hieh hieh hieh !!
Just a few days before, I got invitation from my friends to attend his farewell party, a suprise one for him. It was an idea of his sister, to give him something special before he is off to Perth.
The part was held at Planet Hollywood, led to my first visit to it.
The food was good, the place was interesting, everything was perfectly fit for a gathering of a bunch of old friends.
" I wish you to see you in your short hair again before I leave"
He told me personally on his farewell party. Our conversation is impossibly occured without his comments on my hair.In fact, he has very naturally curly hair which I find it quite nice, it's rare to see guys looking good in curly hair and he's just one of them.
Anyhow, I'm glad he still remembers the short hair Pui Mun I was in 2007, the year I got to know him.
I left a few lines on the guestbook before I leave.
" Reminiscent the past, cherish the present , anticipate the future. "
After that I left, sending off another friend for his studies. We hugged and shook hands,
In my heart I whispered:When will it be the next time I see you?
That will be a few springs and summers later, should be.
At one point,I thought of my confidant, Val ! I know she's doing well in New Zealand, but I'm just missing those times we used to have, those times where we walked side by side back home after school.
All the best to you, I hope Perth will do you fine, might be a good place to main polo !=)
Good Luck, Iss...kandar Alias!
We will pray hard for you !=P

Farewell
I had a few farewell meet-ups with my college mates before they went back to their hometown. This is something awful for me, because I had none of this while I was in secondary as well as primary school where friends are just within reach and we do have regular meet up after the separation. A feeling of sadness, but I know temporary separation will lead to a reunion in someday, soon. Coincidentally, all three friends of mine are Sarawakians, enabling me to visit three of them at once when I pay a visit to Sarawak.
Susan was the first one to leave. We had Bak Kut Teh breakfast at Chew Lian’s territory-Klang a day before she left. It was a great day, my first time and also last time sitting beside you in the train, I regret not knowing you earlier, but I’m glad that we had a comfortable chat before you left. Really hope that you will be tough to confront with your inner fear, and live a good life at Marudi. I know that you will, but maybe just another longer time to overcome it. Be strong,my friend, because “no pain, no gain”.Susan, hopefully you will achieve your goals in life =), and stay fine my friend!
Hugs Hugs Susan.
Lester@ Tigger was the second to leave then. We had our last Pyramid trip for this year on the day he left. Tigger, I didn’t want to tear in front of you, just want to wave and smile in front of you for the last time , foreseeing the next time we will meet.
I’m really glad that I’ve known such a good friend like you, that will stay crazy with me, that will chase away my fear while I was so fear of the new surrounding at the beginning of the year. From the comment you wrote to me, I knew, that not much you’ve understand me, but I understand, there isn’t anything much to write about myself, because it is just that I didn’t express everything to you, just didn’t want my this tigger friend to worry too much about me. Tigger -such a playful guy should stay happy and have fun with friends. Sorry, I might not be a very good friend to you, but you certainly are a good friend in my eyes.I'm not as joyful as you thought me as.=)Thank you for the good and crazy moments, haha, I’ll never forget the day when we were riding roller-coaster together and laughed all the way till the end.
Happiness is what I gained from you all. Not only am I glad but I feel grateful to have known a friend like you. Because everyone of you is so special to me, really really sparkling my life.
Thank you my friend, you might not read this but just want to wish you all the best in life!
With everything in your hands, maybe K as well ,tigger. =)Minnie mouse will always pray for you that you're happy everly after.
Hugs Hugs Tigger.
Susie @ SSSS was the last to leave.I did everything that I could with Susie, my sarawakian friend before she left KL, a few nights of sleeping over at my place, shopping together, playing uno cards and basically everything that we will usually do and have not tried doing before. Susie is the one that understands me the best in the course, a true friend I’ve found here, someone that will provide me a feeling of security while I am talking to her. Susie, you’re really an awesome friend, a true listener. I miss ss-ing with you, miss singing in front of you and all the crazy things I did that only you will tolerate it, but no others in the gang. Perhaps among the gang, that only you’ve seen my depression like my other close friends, not just the craziness of mine like what others would think of.
For this time, that I really think ‘ God, please take away all my confidence, because I just want to be alone this time”. I’m not as brave as what you said, but I do gain a lot of strength and motivation from you, and also from my primary and secondary buddies.
But this time, I really feel the fear, fear of falling, fear of the feeling that it brings when all these happen. I do not want myself to live in fear always, building up the protective wall against all odd again. I will do my best ,to learn to forgive and forget, like what all of you would advise me of. Because, for this time, I’m just losing to myself, and so put the blame on me, it's my mistake.
Take care Susie. I would never forget our promise in 2008.
Hugs Hugs Susie!
At that time , hopefully you’ll see a courageous, bravo and independent Pui Mun. I can do it!
Lastly, I would never forget Optimus Prime who has gone back to Singapore.=) Creatively evil Optimus Prime, you owe me chicken rice balls and a heavy lunch.
Hopefully you will obtain your license soon, and drive safe okay lim peh XD!!
See you guys again, in 2008!! I know,that we will meet each other soon!=)
