Sandakan Trip

Last Tuesday, me and all my HG23 coursemate went to Sandakan for a field trip organized by Dr. Andy and En. Julius. This is the 1st time i went to Sandakan, some other friends already been there before and told me that the food there is nice and cheaper than KK, and im willing to see how true is that. Hohoho.....

So we depart from UMS around 11am after Miss Mandy's midterm exam, reach our 1st destination, our rest house in Sandakan, Institut Latihan Perindustrian Sandakan, and we stay there for 3 nights. Sad to say the rest house we stay, the so-called APARTMENT, were not as good as we expected. Because 16 guys will have to stay together in 1 house with only 3 rooms 1 toilet 1 bathroom, we almost fed up when 1st we reach. 1st day of our trip end after having dinner at Batu 4.

Next day, i woke up very early becoz dowan to "rebut" the bathroom with the others, around 7:30am we depart to the FRC (Forest Research Centre), at there we were brief by Ms Rebecca about the FRC and the seed lab they have in there. Then we move to another part of the FRC which is the nursery site to learn about the management of a nursery. The nursery at FRC are more to researching than commercializing. After that we had our lunch at a restaurant beside the road on our way to the next destination. Then we move to the research plot that set up by En Julius when he was working in FRC. At there we were exposed to a few combinations of trees and crops (intergrated farming) in that plot, which we have already learn last semester when we went to Balung River Plantation at Tawau. After that, something that make us all fed up is that we have to return to the restaurant we eat our lunch for dinner, walaueh tai lou ah, the food there.....can not la~what to do, this is an order by En Julius. Many of us tapao back to the apartment to eat becoz already no mood to stay at that restaurant. That night, we all sneak out from the apartment and went to a funfair near the batu 4 to RELEASE STRESS, hahaha.....

3rd day morning, we went to visit the Sabah Forestry Department, after that we went to the plantation research plot that set up by the research department, the plot there were planted with a lot of exotic species from foreign country, we feels like we were in temperate forest when walking in that plantation, quite an interestion place. After having lunch at the "same-old-place", we went to FRC again to continue our visit to the Entomology Lad, Xylarium, and Medicinal Garden. At there, 1st we heard that the Tongkat Ali plant can switch between male and female (LOL). That night, the last night we spent at Sandakan, we went to a restaurant called Ocean King that located near the pusat bandar to have our dinner, and we were quite satisfied with the sea food at there (good job Dijah).

“山腳下男孩”vs“超級丹”

转载于：星洲日报 （2008-08-16 15:40）


（中國‧北京）大馬羽壇一哥李宗偉距離奧運金牌只剩一步之遙！

週日（8月17日）晚上8時48分，將是大馬人民期盼已久的“超級週日”，“山腳下男孩”李宗偉在這一天將全力衝擊大馬在奧運會史上的第一枚金牌！

26歲的李宗偉，週日晚上將以“金的名義”出戰在北京工業大學體育館舉行的北京奧運會男單決賽，現在唯一有可能阻止他站上世界之巔的不是別人，正是與他有“瑜亮情結”的中國悍將林丹。

宗偉名利雙收的一刻

對李宗偉來說，與林丹的這場決賽也是一場價值100萬令吉的天價大戰，如果他能夠第6次製伏宿敵林丹，不只可終結大馬52年來的奧運金牌荒，同時也可在大馬政府新頒佈的奧運金牌獎勵金製度下成為首個奧運百萬金主，名利雙收。

隨著力挫韩国悍將李炫一晉級決賽，李宗偉已寫下一頁歷史，他的坐亞望冠幫助大馬打破了12年來的獎牌荒，而他也至少可進賬由大馬政府頒發的30萬令吉獎勵金（銀牌）。

是30萬還是100萬令吉？這將取決於李宗偉在決賽的發揮。

雙方狀態佳精彩可期

李宗偉曾與林丹交手14次，但週日之戰卻是2人首次在北京較量，這場比賽是2人生平最重要的一場比賽，2人都是第一次亮相奧運會決賽，也都渴望以一場勝利證明自己。

林丹與李宗偉是當今羽壇世界最好的2名男單，但自從羽球正式被列入1992年巴塞羅納奧運會項目以來，男單決賽還是頭一次出現“世界第一vs世界第2”的“世紀大戰”。

與其說林丹與李宗偉一路製伏對手晉級決賽，不如說他們是頂住壓力戰勝“爆冷旋風”約戰決賽，從中說明2人都是當今狀態最好最穩的男單球員，決賽在他們之間上演精采可期。

宗偉“It's Now or Never”？

對李宗偉來說，這將是他打破紀錄為國家獻上有史以來首枚金牌的最佳時機，他必須把握這次的黃金機會，以貓王的經典名曲“It's Now or Never”（現在或永不）的精神應戰，因為宗偉已26歲，能否在4年後的倫敦奧運會上陣成疑。

李宗偉的超強狀態，讓大馬首次距離奧運會金牌這麼近，但李宗偉的決賽對手將不僅僅是林丹而已，只有更高的意志力和克服壓力可能帶來的毀滅，大馬一哥才能站上世界巔峰。

so me,colin, and albert decided to give it a shot

the 1st working day is last friday
we reach there around 4:30pm and stand until 9pm+
1st day's sales was ZERO, not really disappointed,
coz long time din do sales already
then on the 2nd day, three of us finally get our 1st customer in the morning session
but after that none until finish. That nite really bad mood la.
3rd day, sunday, that day i never think about doing sales ler
but somehow i manage to get MORE customer to sign than 2 days before.

I was thinking, what a luck ?
hahaa.....at least i still can get 4 customers in 3 days.
The PC fair end after i back home, coz on Sunday i back home earlier (4pm i cao liao)
I've baught a new keyboard to replace my old 1, a laptop cooler for Paige.

I think this will be the last PIKOM PC FAIR i will ever attend in Sabah.

the mummy

昨天去1borneo看了场电影
从我家去只需要5分钟
而且傍晚6点之前还有student price
不看白不看
所以就选了the mummy 3
就和我的几个schoolmate去看
顺便买了个娃娃想说送给嘉玮姐姐

电影刚开始的时候感觉还不错
可能是因为还没到放工时间（4.50pm)
所以没什么人，就很冷。
可是因为外头天气很热
就没带外套，差点就冷死在里面。

这次的the mummy是以中国秦朝为主题
故事中出现了秦始皇（李连杰饰）和兵马俑。
原本还以为满好看
那里知道看到一半差点就睡着了
可是有一个part我蛮喜欢的
就是在himalaya山脉的一个地方
竟然会有yeti(雪怪）的出现
还蛮可爱的（个人意见）

总的来说，effect就不错
可是plot就差了一点
外国人可能会喜欢吧。
