Batho is on a Hiatus?
Well, time passes damn fast...it has been almost two months I'm here in Malaysia...and I still have another freaking one month to go back to USA!
What have I been doing this summer?? Sleep, eat, bathe, meeting friends, learning Chinese...
I went to Miri last Gawai holiday for 4 days...didn't go anywhere interesting though. Stayed at home and sleep...
Anyway, three weeks ago, I went to Kuching to meet my uncles, aunties, grandpa, cousins and friends...ok, one of the partial reasons was to watch the state-level school marching band competition held in Kuching hockey stadium. I went to watch the competition for two days, one day for rehearsal and the following day was their competition.
Frankly speaking, I was impressed with their performance this year. From an underdog in marching band, my school marching band has been improving year by year (according to the comments by most people). I'm proud that they managed to get the bronze title. (p/s David, this isn't sissy ok?:P)
I went back like 3 days after the competition. My st. joe, kch friends, joo lung and jackson brought me out to eat and we went to Spring...:)
And Adrian brought me out for a drink a night before I flew back to Bintulu. He brought me out twice but the first night I had to go back early:(.
Overall, I was kinda enjoyed myself in Kuching instead of sleeping most of the time in bintulu. At least, I managed to meet my cousins, grandpa and friends.:)

Home Sweet Home
After a freaking long journey crossing the Pacific Ocean, I finally arrived Malaysia. Spending two days in Genting Highland and two days in KL, I'm now back in Bintulu. It's like a small world, from 8000++ miles away from Sarawak and now, I'm here on Borneo Island.
The 13 hours and 40 minutes flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong was tiring. All I did were sleeping, eating, playing my PSP, etc. Sitting on the plane for that frigging long hours was really dreadful experience for me!
When I arrived Hong Kong at 6 in the morning, it was already very sunny and bright in HK (like Msia's 9-10am). HKIA was great, cool with free WiFi-internet access and as big as KLIA. As soon as I arrived HKIA, I went out from the arrival hall to terminal E1 to get my boarding pass for my next flight to KL. My friends waited for me in the arrival hall. Considering that I would be back to meet them up after getting my boarding pass, I asked my friends' help to take care of my two hand carry bags while I'm out to get my boarding pass.
After dealing with some fussy HK ticketing officers, I finally got my boarding pass and went to the arrival hall through the exit again. I knew I wasn't supposed to enter through that exit but I just screwed it. "Sir, I'm sorry, you can't enter. This is the arrival exit."...."yeah, I know that. I'm just gonna meet my friends and take my bags from them"..."I'm sorry...you can't...you have to make your way to the departure hall"...fine...
I went to the departure hall and went through all the security checks. After that, I tried to find ways to get into the arrival hall. As far as I know, I could actually get into the arrival hall when I enter the departure hall. However, I still could not find my way to the arrival hall after walking up and down the elevators and escalators. My last resort: I went to ask the security and she said there is no way I could get to the arrival hall from here. I told her I left my bags there and she said the only way I could get there was to contact my airline...wat the....
Screw it...I went to check my friend's next flight to KL. It was at terminal 62 and my terminal was 27. Thus, I walked all the way from terminal 27 to 62 and waited for my friends at the terminal. I decided to switch on my phone regardless of how pricey the international roaming was and called my friend. I told them to meet me at their terminal...I wasted my 2 hours in HKIA already and I'm very sure this month phone bill would be damn high...:(
When I met them at the terminal, I got back my two bags. I felt guilty because they had to carry my bags from the arrival hall to the terminal. I'm really sorry...
When my friends proceeded to their plane, I went to terminal 27 and I was told that the flight that I was about to take was delayed due to some technical probs. Damn...had to wait for another half an hour...So, MH075 flew to at 9.45am. Though, I was satisfied with the food on the plane....Nasi Lemak :) for my lunch...LOL
As MH075/CX1728 flight from Hong Kong landed on KLIA runway, my heart thumping wildly. After a while, the flight attendant made an announcement in Malay and then in English, "Kita telah pun tiba di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur, kepada penumpang dari luar negara, Selamat datang...kepada penumpang dari Malaysia, Selamat Pulang ke tanah air..." The feeling was awesome! I'm BACK HOME! I felt like wana shout on the plane. Quoting TE, the feeling was like " hugging all the Malaysians at the airport ", "Bang, saye dah balik"
It was great to meet family again after 9 months. Due to Jetlag, I slept early for the past few nights and woke up early for the pst few mornings. I didn't enjoy much in Genting though. I spent most of my time sleeping in the room.
My family n I flew back to Bintulu on Sunday, one day before Wesak Day. Now, I'm resting at home and I'm looking forward to meet more friends when they are back...:)
Johnny called me for breakfast when I was still sleeping at 9.30am this morning. He brought me Parkcity Mall top floor to eat. Nice eating place...my first time! then, he brought me to our high school to see how's the band doing. Felt elated to see them all again! Really miss my high school much...
The reason why I'm back??? Ask Alice...lazy to type here...:P

I'm NOT a freshman, NOT YET a sophomore
I had my last final exam, which was microeconomics, yesterday. The feeling is great. I had been waiting for this moment since January 2008 and finally, it has come!
Really can't wait to go back and eat my favorite food, Kolo Mee...
It has almost been one year since I last ate Kolo Mee...OMG!!!
But the bad thing is...
I have to endure the pain of being on the plane for 22 hours...flying from Indianapolis-Chicago-San Francisco-Hong Kong-KUL
Wah...It would be awesome if I could just sleep for 22 hours on the plane. Cause when I wake up, I would be in my homeland!!! wooohhoo...Kolo mee, see you there!

Random stuffs...
A week ago, I drove to Indianapolis to bring Adrian for a post-surgery check up in Methodist Hospital. He had the surgery during the Spring Break week and I kinda miss the car that I drove during the Spring Break because the 4WD was indeed cool! I LIKE! :P
It's a 4WD Mercury. Adrian rented it for 200USD for two days.
Well, I'm glad that the surgery went smoothly and now, his left knee is getting better.
Alright...that's not the main point...
After I brought him to the medical check up in Shelbourne Clinic, I got hungry and decided to get some Chinese foods nearby. We eventually found one Chinese restaurant nearby, China Hong Kong Buffet. Thanks to the GPS. As I drove along, we saw White Castle!!! LMAO...
This is another version of "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"..."Adrian and Bat go to White Castle"
For some who don't get it, "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" is actually a movie.
When we entered, we saw a lot of African Americans eating and even the workers were African Americans. That's why it was kinda awkward when we entered. The burgers were delicious although they were kinda small in size. I like it.
We then went to Macy's in Indianapolis. Walked for a while before went back to Purdue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks ago, the officers from Ministry of Education Malaysia and chancellors from UM, UKM, UPM, USM, and UiTM came to my university to have a dinner with the Malaysian students here in Purdue. Actually, they came to USA for some educational tour or something (if I'm not mistaken). They also came to see our newly build Discovery Park in my university.
We had a dinner with them at Rawls Hall around 8pm. They also gave a presentation about some education thingie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microeconomics exam just over yesterday and I was kinda glad that I kinda did well in it. Winter has over and Spring is here...There are no more...
No more SNOW
Spring semester is going to end soon...Counting my days back to MALAYSIA...Kolo mee, Kampua mee, Bak kut teh... here I come :D
