Finally, after the whole 3 weeks of lag and high latency, I have my lappy reformat, thanks to Yong Xiang, I was able to learn and carry out the method proceeding with full installation by my own. So I sort of decide to treat him a meal that night as an acknowledgement. Speaking of treats, its been awhile I never embrace myself in any opportunity on rewarding event. I came across the Maybank Treats Fair held at Midvalley Exhibition Centre located at the top floor of Midvalley, the place was jam-packed with peoples moving in and out. Before actually having entered the exhibition centre, thanks to Xiang influence for the promotion, I was actually being induced to bought a polo tee which cost me hundred buck when I'm in the position of almost being bankrupt*sniff*. But its worth the price with the recent mega sales price. The tee looks nice on me if I could have work out more often. So come back to the Treats Fair, this redemption frenzy was held from 23 to 26, a big opportunities for fellow cardholder to redeem their favorable reward using TreatsPoints. We entered the household property section, then follow by random goods and other product. They also having promotion on skin care, optometric, water refinement etc services. Some cool gadget like robomop are displayed and demonstrated as well. While we're hassle ourself out of the congested pathway, a young lady asked us to choose and pick out a piece of cardboard out of the 5 as some sort of lucky draw, with full of curiosity, I was reluctant, but Yong Xiang feels that its no harm to give it a try. He acquire a 3 days 2 nights trip to Jakarta stated on the card as a voucher, nevertheless, I'm still doubt about that when she mention its FOC, I never believe in any freebies. Xiang exchanged the voucher to local trip since we're both financially deflated. And as I expected, they require us to participate and engross on their talk before we are entitle to the voucher. They are conducting on a survey and giving out a different method of expanding their company's capital, member that acquire share are granted to have an agreed on benefit which is tour for holidays for 8 days per year instead of getting dividend from the company earning, its a redeemable share. Few term or pre-requisite are to be comply before we can buy the share, the share are distributed according to package, for student, the minimum budget require is 11,000 ringgit, while other than student its 21,000. But during that only day they offer us 8,500 ringgit for student package and around 18,000 ringgit for the rest. Don't get the idea wrong, it means that u are entitle to 11,000 ringgit if you bought the share at 8.500 ringgit on the day itself, doesn't that just sound tempting? The company own Taylor International University College, surprisingly they also subsidize themselve to vacation and tour field. Something attract me is that their company had appointed themself trustee company which is under the government regulation, which mean if the company went into liquidation, member will not have to worry about their money went astray as unsecured debt. Our approach to the method was an agreeable one, although they failed to persuaded us to buy any of their share. Nonetheless, as promised, we're still entitled for the 3 days 2 nights trip, still was wondering what have we done to deserve this little honor for the weekend. And guess what, by the next day I realize we do deserve it, its karma.*smirk*
Below are pic of the carnival and voucher:
Dedication to Alexandra
Come to recall it, its been more than half a year Alexandra has been around with us. Her decision to leave for UK for her second year brought bitterness yet worth to cheer by watching her pursuing the same goal on the English region earlier. I was sort of envy on such an acquisition, then again, we are glad to see her attain what she always wanted. We still remember during the 1st day that we ever seen that girl, she was a girl with a curly auburn hair who are not really considerately associated. Her face was dull and plain most of the time. Still that was previously before we actually approach and get to know her. She was a student which had to repeat her study due to her own major personal problem. Nevertheless she did not admit her defeat and persisting on achieving what she urge for. Well her commitment do trigger me to put more effort, she was an estimable person indeed. As the matter of fact she could be very cuddly and chummy if you were close to her. We spend most time having conversation on gossips and experience/aspiration of life, our dialogue can be much profound if I ought to admit. And most of all, we got the common fondness of brandy apparel! Its ridiculous to see a big guy like me could even care for the subject, but to be frank I was much observable of being a shopaholic since I've came to KL this municipal. And she would prefer hanging out with Uma which previously is one of our classmate too. They both got a lot of common interest and passion on assisting our Legal Skill lecturer Harpajan. She had a pleasantly good temper, I shall remember her cool and patience while teaching/guiding us whenever I've accounted some difficulty. Its been nice knowing her, great things happen because there's you around =).
The Farewell Party
Ok back to our good friend Alex, she had decide to do her 2nd year law degree in University of Northumbria, Newcastle, UK and will be taken her flight by next month. So before the adios, she had invited us for a small party at her condominium located just next KLCC, the MARC Residential. Even though its a walking distance to KLCC, but the traffic was terrible when we reached KLCC, but with Chin Hian as the driver, the word lost never came across our head, it just a matter of time before we arrive at the destination. Her sister was around with few of her course mate, and FYI, her sister is a doctor-to-be who is taking her MBBS at Moscow currently, she is doing her 3rd year at the moment, which again makes me feel bad thinking back about my studies. I was initially a science stream student had an ambitious desire of being a doctor myself, guess that doesnt turn out well, still I'm pursuing a professional courses. Back to the party, Alex had arranged a great dinner with barbecue chicken wings, grilled lamb chop, sushi and etc. The food are prepared by the maid while we're hanging around at KLCC mall. Its worth a tease that we just bought her farewell present during that time itself, however, the present bought was one-of-a-kind, its an electronic mini ferris wheel that cost us around 130 buck, picture will be shown at the end of post. Still it seem to be lack of sincerity by buying a gift last minutes*sniggle*. The gathering wasn't last too long, the idea of getting myself buoyant in the pool was unsuccessful due the insufficient time. Just before we heading back, Alex bring out to visit her house. The house was small but complete with most necessary facilities, it cost around 0.6 mil ringgit just for the condo alone unfurnished. For the sake of being able to catch the last KTM back to Nilai, the rest of us have to leave before ten o'clock. Speaking of KTM, I was waiting Bukit Jalil KTM station waiting Yong Xiang to fetch me off to his home, and whats unfortunate is that my message was delayed for half an hour when it was received by Yong Xiang, I was afraid that I have to sleep on the street, but in the end I was being "rescued". So to wind up, the gathering was a memorable moment indeed, we get to spend more time on chitchatting and understand each other more while dining on the delicacy. I personally feel that our class should organize more of this occasion which will makes us feel more treasure thereafter we leave. We shall pray for you Alexandra.
Will be uploading more pic by the weekend, below are some:
A very weary yet significant weekend I had been through. On 17th night was an annual prom night held by ACCA/CAT students of the Sunway University College, and thanks to Yong Xiang I was able to get a chance to revel in this affluent little banquet. I was broke for the last few weeks due to the recent Mega Sale, which I've bought some casual tee in a discounted price, at 1st I was not really inspired by this fancy event when I was initially invited by Yong Xiang. But nevertheless its a once in a lifetime chance given. So without further contemplation, I was affirmed. The ticket cost RM85 which can be regard as cheap since the venue is Sunway Resort which is one of the deluxe hotel in KL. Ok so speaking of this high-class resort, it takes us more than 20 minutes to get a parking slot near Sunway Pyramid. Chin Hian was the driver, and not that I try to boast, but I feel rewarding for my own persuasive skill, he's one of the most hardheaded friend that I have, and it was very wise for me by trying to approach his gf before actually asking him *grin*. Since there was slot available for a couple with just RM100, so I figure that it might be great idea to invite them since the gf, Francoise has long desired for such an extravagant occasion. In advance we went to Sunway Pyramid to let ourself look tidy. Francoise had her hair set, and makeup/foundation provided with fake eyelashes which cost only around RM50. I got my hair washed and dried and cost me 8 buck...I wasn't surprise that the way they set the hair was ordinary. The price was only offered by A Cut Above Academy, not the Saloon. We are serve by most trainee, so in a harsh way, we can say that we're asked to pay for ourself being experimented. The Saloon would cost RM85 for washing and setting the hair alone, and they will provide your very own stylist which they had familiar with your hair and know what style satisfy you. Now go back to the title, the Ball start around 8:30p.m, which late 1 hour from what had stated. Well, no surprise, we're Malaysian. Me and Chin Hian was late if according to the ideal schedule due to the time consumed during the makeup, however we manage to reach before the opening ceremony. I was surprised when I heard the voice of the emcee, it was very much familiar to me back on those day where my life was only radio and cassette. It was JJ from Hitz.fm. I could not recognize his face since my seat was way too far from the stage and nothing was really clear at that moment. Indeed he had what it takes to be a great comedian. What caught my 1st attention was his special giggling, which I find it pathetic yet amusing. The event went on with eight to ten course dinner, I wasn't sure about the amount, but the food is savory, its better compare the last prom I had attended, and the side dishes are as good. The waiters was very friendly and efficient, each plate are replaced after each meal course is served. After this grand event, we proceed to Euphoria Aka Ministry of Sound. It is the only non-smoking club we may find in the KL vicinity, located just beside the Sunway Resort. There is 3 hall in the club, but since its my 1st time, so we stick around in the main hall, where only techno music is put on. We only drinks beer due to the current economic downturn and my soon to be vacant wallet. We went home around 2a.m in the morning and had our slumber after 3a.m. It was exhausting indeed, guess from here I can see my aging progressively, maybe I should have consult a doctor on progeria *chuckle*

Law Awareness Week is practice event held annually by Inti-UC Law Society which the objective is to develop an knowledge on the law field for the student in public by holding a 3 days of exhibition and talk. It recall me back during the 1st sem I entered Inti, where opportunity was given for the new student to take part in this small yet acquainted event. basically the theme still hasn't changed much from the previous year, which mainly concern on human right. but there is a slight improvement from my observation which is that more NGO had willing to fork out their time to provide support on the event, some of the NGO is Sisters in Islam, SUARAM , SUHAKAM, Amnesty International, Police and Prison. Weapon and picture are displayed, and the police officer very eager to provide additional information and demonstrated on how it would be like in the real life for those in custody. And I was being clarify about the myth that the cane used for caning(rotan) was soaked in horse's pee, while the truth is that they soaked the tips only into bleach or water to ensure sanitary condition oh the whip/cane as well to dealt the maximize pain to the subject's buttock. An informal yet terrific talk was delivered by Edmund Bon Tai Soon (Chairperson of Bar Council's Constitutional Law Committee) which he was well-known after being the defendant lawyer of Anwar sodomizing case. During his talk, he stressed more on the law of public interest, and claimed that this legal field was much demanding recently along with the establishment of NGO Human Right body. He also indicated that many had left the legal aids service just because the price offered was not appealing and neglected on public's need on lawyer. So to wrap things up, Law Awareness Week had seem to did their best be to accomplish its objective, by embedding great virtue and additional knowledge to new generation of legal profession.
