Degree year 2

My semester break just finished and now I am back in INTI. First sem for my year 2! 4 more study sems left. Had a 4 weeks sem break and I think it was one of the best.
Here are basically what I did during the break:

  • ICF committee retreat to Ipoh
  • Trip to Perhentian
  • Paintball
  • Read 3 books (The Son of Neptune, HP and the Philosopher's Stone, HP and the Chamber of Secrets)
A lot of new experience during the holidays. First time snorkeling, paintball (which I only got shot twice :P), seeing a live baby turtle and reading 3 books in 3 weeks. Really enjoyed the holidays. Why must it ends so fast? 

Paintball with friends. Didn't know paintball could be so tiring. Respect the Muslims that are fasting and still can play.
By the way, I am taking 4 subjects thing sem and one of it is Advance Java. Very worry about that subject. I am weak in the object oriented part. My java grade itself wasn't good. Hope I can cope and do better this time.

East Coast Island


Went to Perhentian Island on 1-3 August with 10 other friends from INTI Christian Fellowship. Can be considered a farewell outing for Jonathan, Enthel and Reuben too. This is my first time going to an island on the east coast. Heard a lot about the beautiful beaches and the clear water on the east coast. Finally got to experience it.

It was an 8 hours bus ride to the jetty and another 30 minutes boat ride to the island. Took a night bus there. The bus was classy and comfortable but did not managed to have a good sleep. The journey back took 9 hours (different bus company). Regreted taking a different bus back. Consequences of being cheap xD

Check out the super long bus tickets

I was hoping to see turtle lay eggs in Perhentian but did not have the chance to see it. Anyway, still managed to see baby turtles. The guy was keeping it until they grow up only release them. We also saw a giant turtle at the sea bed while snorkeling.

so cuteee!
It was also my first time snorkeling, great experience. Saw a lot of marine creatures. I was quite disappointed with the corals though, was expecting to see more colourful corals.
The corals look so dry
and dull. Not sure is it effect of global warming.
Overall, it was a great trip and I had a good time. Thank You Enthel for organising this. I am going to miss those people leaving. Enthel, the imba girl, Jonathan, one of my first friend from ICF and Reuben, troll king and FIFA kaki. :'(
