1 Utama On 28th May 2008

This is the first week of the new semester and there is pretty much nothing to do. I am drop dead bored cos it is only me and uncle in the house, others went back to Penang for holiday already. I have to feed the pets and washing away their droppings. Eeuuww!!! That is the first time I'm doing such thing. Hahaha.

So on this day, I invited Kok Foo and Yan Jian to hang out at 1 Utama and we meet Chongyi there. Chongyi has so many so called "sad stories" because he is rejected by his crush. His intention to go 1U is to meet his crush, not us. Hehe. Wherever he goes he said he had a sad story at that particular place.

While my real intention is to check out whether the new Liverpool jersey is in stores. And the answer is YES! Yippie! The new jerseys only released officially on 23rd May and I can't believe my luck! That is my third Liverpool jersey now. Sorry but I only buy home kits so I can feel the roars of Anfield. Haha. RM259.90? Excuse me, Liverpool jerseys are priceless.

STEVEN GERRARD I LOVE YOU!

Later we go to the ground floor to check out a function called Movie Carnival. Chongyi gone wild when he saw the superheroes like Spiderman, Cicakman (hero are you sure?), Hellboy and Alien with Predator. Chongyi nags us to take photo with them and all of us shake our heads. Ultimately I surrender and up we go.

Superheroes: Spidey, Ken, Chongyi, Hellboy

Predator on the left, Alien on the right.

Photo session ends. Chongyi leaves and I wanna do so but.....

they two don't want to let me go. They grab me and choke me! "Help!" I muttered. Hahaha.

After that we are leaving. Chongyi is leading the way with Kok Foo, Me and Yan Jian following respectively. We notice there is a cameraman and crews just beside, passing us by. Suddenly the host grabs Yan Jian's shoulders and starts interviewing him, in Cantonese.


Host : Hi handsome one, please come over here. Do you know what is this channel? (The host lifts up the mic to let him see)

Yan Jian : Kah Kah Kah...... Sorry my Cantonese is bad. Can I speak in Mandarin?

Host : Sure. I will ask you in Cantonese and you answer in Mandarin. Is that okay?

Yan Jian : Ok.

Host : So what is the channel?

Yan Jian : Kah... (The host points to a crew whispering) Kah Yu!

Host : Yes that's it! Do you know a movie called Merry Go Round?

Yan Jian: Yes, I saw it a sign somewhere around here. (Die also wanna speak in Cantonese yet)

Host : Uhm.. Do you think I am pretty?

Yan Jian: Yes you are.

Host : Thanks! Here's two tickets for you. Thanks again handsome one! Bye!

Yan Jian: Thanks! Bye!

Later we find out that that Kah Yu is a channel from Hong Kong and the pretty host is Mary. Kah Yu is on Astro as well! Channel 304 everyone!!! The tickets are for Vincy's concert at Arena of Stars, Genting on 31st May. Lucky Yan Jian! Kok Foo jokes the three of us should walk around behind them and do some funny pose and get into TV. Hahaha.

Finally we leave after what an eventful day.

Year 3 Semester 1

Woohoo! I have been promoted to Year 3 and today marks the new semester. I am so glad to meet the old pals. They are mostly still the same except two people that I noticed - Canny and Paupau. Both of them have curly hairs, like me! xD

I am trying to concentrate hard on the class but I almost break down during the third class. It is simply drop dead boring. The subject is about Java Programming and the lecturer keeps comparing it with C language. Come on Ma'am!

Overall the first day is okay except a few let downs. This is expected due to some problems happened between friends. I am a little upset and I sincerely hope they can patch up. Another big let down is why the hell today is raining when I am on my way home? I got so wet laaaa........ =.=

Back to University!

Yesssss!!! Finally I am back to my old lifestyle again - studying! Studying > Working =D

Ken, it is time to strike. Strike your targets. Blow them! xD

Back to Study

It is time to go back to university after the end of my industrial training and a brief holidays. I just wanna say that I miss you all in Penang and the good food too. Haha. =D

Don't worry, i will study hard and reach my goal. The training told me I had to study harder or I would down and out.

Police Station Is No Clinic!

Yesterday I made a call, wanting to make an appointment with a dentist for scaling treatment.

Operator: Hello. Ini xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (My Malay is bad enough so I dunno what the hell is she talking about! I dun care anyway so I continue.)

Ken: Saya mau err...... I want to make an appointment. (As you can see, bad Malay)

Operator: Hello Dik! Ini balai polis lah! (Should be the police station in my area)

Ken: Oh sorry sorry!!!

Operator: Okay okay.

(Hung)

I'm pretty sure I did not call the wrong number. Maybe some technical mistake from Telekom Malaysia. =P

Ken Lee

Yes, everyone knows I am Ken but my surname has and always been Lim. For some reasons, everyone started calling me Ken Lee, especially Ng Huay Lyn and Cheong Ai Ling, during my time in Jabil.

The reason shall be revealed. Play the video below please.

Ms. Cheong told me about this and she received a present for her birthday not long after. Read the sender's name.


I swear it was not me! But since then everyone started calling us the couple. I admit this Hobbit is a cute and nice girl but sorry. I already have a fantastic partner. Hahaha. I am sure I am not Ai Ling's type too.

Perfect Ten

Forgot to post it but thank God I remember to tell her that this is our tenth day =D

My name is Peter Crouch! =P

I have friends calling me Peter Crouch, a Liverpool Football Club footballer, due to my figure. Even though I am not that extraordinary tall, but I am extraordinary thin. Hahaha. My friends even asked me to do the robot-dance if I scored and I did. Lol. I am actually a big fan of his, too bad he is going out of Anfield soon most probably.

Look how tall he is. He is 6 ft 7 in tall and 12st 6. Seriously underweight, maybe that is why I am referred to him. =S I just wanna be as good as him at least or have the money he has. xD


Look! Even Cristiano Ronaldo is so scared of me! Erm.. Crouchy! Get lost Ronaldo.

Never listen to Cristiano. He is such a jerk. Good he may be, but he is so arrogant and his off pitch behaviours are so terrible. Just act like a down syndrome kid when talking to him if you did not want to get influenced by the bad boy. Hahaha!

Crouchy, if you ever left Liverpool, my support will always be with you. I will always remember your Robo-Kop (robot dance) goal celebration. Good luck lad.

p/s: To know more about Crouchy, read his autobiography ;D

My Feel For Jabil

Tomorrow will be my last day working at Jabil and I wish to comment on my industrial training.

Industrial training can be a waste of time if the trainees or universities selected the wrong companies. For my case, I would say YES and NO. Haha. There is simply no way you totally love or hate your job.

I love my job as I get to know many people here, regardless of their races, religions and etc. I talk or crap with them much. I think my communication skills and English have improved too ;D Yesterday was the extreme case which I sat just beside two Jabil employees when watching Iron Man at Queensbay. One of them even recognised me, saying "Wow! Come to watch movie after working at Jabil ah?" I looked at him, scratching my head. Then he explained that I gave him smocks (part of the silly tasks really) before. That was so funny. I manage to learn something, though not much, related my studies too.

Meanwhile what I hate about my job is some of the employees here. They like to order people like they are the bosses. The other thing is that some tasks are assigned at the very last minute and make you suffocated.

Whatever it is, I think that this is still a good experience for me and might help me in the future.
Thank you all!

The Tales of Two Liverpool Fans

I almost bursted into tears when I first read about Liam Harker's news before the first leg of Champions League Semi Final between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. Reading his sad story reminds my own.

It was supposed to be a fantastic trip to Singapore with my mom, along with my best friend and his mom, but it turned out to be one of the most painful experiences in my life. On the day 12 November 2002, I could have lost everything. It was 12.30pm and all of us were in a taxi going to Changi Airport to fetch our mothers' friend. Somehow the taxi driver made a ridiculous turn and suddenly all the cars are racing towards us on the highway. I did not have a good sleep the day before and I was very dizzy until my mom screamed so loudly. I was shocked and just as soon as my eyes are wide opened, BANG!!!

I sat just behind the passenger's seat and the incoming car hit directly on me. The window was smashed and flying into pieces. All I could remember was the loud noise and nothing else. I was not dead or unconcious. I woke up and checking if everyone was okay. Phew, luckily everyone was okay except the car, I thought. My best friend Alan looked at me and he was very shocked. My mum was crying and kept asking me whether I was able to see anything while Alan's mum was calling the ambulance.

Wait... I was okay! Why were everyone so weird? Wait... I was wearing a white shirt and not red. Oh my God! My shirt was covered with my own blood! Fantastic, I almost fainted. At this time I thought I was going to say goodbye to this world. Just as Liam, I also wanted to ask my mum to burn me in the Liverpool shirt and put my ashes around Anfield. I did not say it out cos I was too shocked and afraid. I still remember that I was staring at the cars passing by. Hahaha. The ambulance arrived shortly and the paramedics were so annoying. They kept ordering me not to move to prevent unnecessary injuries but I was still able to walk or run anyway. They made me wearing like a robot and sent to the hospital nearby.

The doctor cut my expensive shirt away and they checked my everything. No serious injuries other than the glasses on my head. I was made waiting until a nurse came and clearing some of the glasses. The doctor came and injected anesthetic which was the most painful thing I ever experienced. One injection just beside my left eye and another one just beside my throat. I realized I could die with my throat being cut. Euww! My tears kept falling throughout the operation and suffered the coldness cos I was wearing nothing. I was sent to X-Ray on my head then back to patient room for rest.

I was there, with my bare skin exposed, freezing. I saw a patient a few metres beside me, it was an old man. All his family members were with him and I heard him breathing loudly. I did not think he could last the day. This experience was kind of scary really. I never see death before. I went to toilet later and I really wanted to bang my head. "Is that me? Is that really me?!" I kept asking myself. I could not recognise the person on the mirror. I went back to my bed and crying. The cute little boy suddenly looked worse than the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
(perasan huh? =P)

I never tell this to anyone. I was crying and singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" for many rounds until my mum, Alan and his mum, along with my cousin Chelsia came to see me. Chelsia bought me a shirt which I still keep it today. I was allowed to check out later and went home to rest. Later on that night, I woke up and even woke Alan up to watch Liverpool in Champions League clash against Basel, only to watch them lost. Sigh...The next day I could not get out from my bed. Perhaps this was the momentum of the accident.

I would never say my pain is greater than anyone, especially Liam Harker's. I understand his pain but knowing you will die soon is not anybody can take. However, I believe he left this world without any regrets, having buried with his signed Liverpool shirt.

Liam Harker, you are one of the best Liverpool supporters I have ever witnessed. YNWA and good night Liam.

For Liam Harker, 17

Liam, a passionate Liverpool supporter from Darlington, made the homepage of the official club website on April 18 after his plight came to the attention of club staff. It was on this day that he was presented with a shirt signed by his heroes just hours after doctors admitted there was nothing more they could do to save his life.

Liam only found out he was suffering from stomach cancer six weeks before after he was admitted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary Hospital in Newcastle. After being treated with an intensive course of radiotherapy, Liam was told on April 3 that he had beaten the cancer as the tumour had started to shrink.

Things took a serious turn for the worse the following day when Liam became very ill however. X-Rays revealed that the cancer had not only returned, it had spread throughout his body. It was at this moment that his parents were told that more radiotherapy would only help prolong his life by a matter of weeks.

Liam was then told he had just two weeks left to live and was allowed home to die. Macmillan nurses were on hand round the clock to help him and his family at this incredibly difficult time. Upon arriving home, Liam's wish to his dad was to spend his final days in a shirt signed by the players he idolises. He also asked his dad to bury him in a Liverpool shirt when he dies as he's lived and breathed Liverpool Football Club all his life.

When news reached the club of Liam's plight, the youngster's dad was contacted and Liam was invited down to Melwood on Monday to not only pick up a signed shirt but also be taken on a tour of Melwood and meet not just the players but also Rafael Benitez.

Unfortunately, Liam was advised by doctors that he wouldn't be able to make the trip to Liverpool due to his worsening condition as even short trips between his home and the hospital in Newcastle for radiotherapy sessions take too much out of the youngster.

However, while Liam couldn't make the trip to Melwood to pick up the shirt, one arrived special delivery at his home in the North East from Liverpool complete with the autographs of all his heroes.

News about Liam immediately touched a nerve with Reds fans everywhere and a plan was put into action to try and create a number of flags bearing Liam's name to showcase at the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea at Anfield.

The hope was that TV cameras would pick out the flags and Liam, if he was still alive, would see them at home on TV. Liam was alive and the TV cameras did show the flags. It was an incredibly moving moment for Liam, his family and friends and Reds fans everywhere who had taken the 17-year-old to their heart.

The flags were then sent to Liam and adorned the walls of his room in time for the second leg of the semi-final at Stamford Bridge (see above). Liverpool lost that match but for Liam's family, a far greater loss occurred today (Monday). Liam's suffering is now over however and our thoughts - and those of Liverpool supporters everywhere - go out to his family and those who really knew this remarkable young man.

In his final dying days, Liam Harker didn't walk alone.

A Day of Commitment

Finally, I went to hiking at Tokun yesterday after so many months. What made it even tough was I never really exercised since the start of my industrial training and that was four months! I had a tough experience yesterday cos I took more than three breaks which I usually only took once or twice. I spent all my strength ,with determination, to get to the top anyhow. I was very satisfied to be at the top after all the hardwork even though I had musclesache in the end.

I also wish to state my commitment to my long distance relationship too. Hahaha. Steven Gerrard as you known to many (=P), you shall have no worries.

p/s: For your information, I am no gay. Thank you. I am still sick of my past gay experiences. =S

You'll Never Walk Alone

Liverpool suffered from elimination in Champions League against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 4-3 aggregate. I was utterly disappointed with the result but it was a good effort from the Reds. Forcing the game to extra time after Fernando Torres equalized to make the tie 2-2 on aggregate. A penalty and a fine goal from Chelsea man sealed the win even though Liverpool clawed one back in the late of the game.

I could not ask too much from Liverpool cos Stamford Bridge is a fortress and no team has beaten for four years. I still see positives from this season. We have got Fernando Torres, a fantastic striker, Ryan Babel, Lucas Leiva, Emiliano Insua and Martin Skrtel are certainly gems for the future. You'll Never Walk Alone!

April 30th 2008 was such a memorable date. Probably I had eaten the "courageous medicine" and I went to confess to a girl. Oh my God. She said I was so straightforward until she did not know what to say. Hahaha. I guess the old Ken is already gone, perhaps he has grown up! =P She accepted and I was in heaven. She is known as Steven Gerrard. ;) Both of us have faith that the relationship will last, even though we know it is going to be hard.

I am still very bored in the office and blogging, youtube-ing and listening to music are my daily tasks. Hahaha.

In a nutshell, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!
