93 Million Miles

Whoa, it's been a while since I've blogged. I miss it. It feels kinda nostalgic doing it right now.
Think I'll try do this every weekend. Maybe. We'll see how that works out. 

Anyway, I'mma just list out some stuff my blog's missed out.
I'm in the mood to talk about things before the States cause I miss home - so I'll save my US updates for the next post.

i) Penang Charity Concert
Okay this happened ages ago. By ages, I mean like a few months. But it really feels like forever - school wasn't even over  yet. Why was this significant? Because
a) it was amazing - Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beats, Alam Tham, Hacken Lee etc. in one single concert. Craaaaayzeh.
b) it was cheap (RM 2 ! And I didn't end up actually paying for it)
c) I missed my boarding curfew by at least half an hour - and totally survived it. I had an (apparently convincing) excuse and my favourite matron had my back.




ii) Graduation dinner 
Oh man, I miss 12/13s.
I can't actually remember much from that night.
We took tons of pictures, that's for sure.
I remember forgetting the lyrics to a song while performing - that was slightly embarrassing. OH WELL (:

And here's a video of our graduation lip dub - yet another project I took up when I could have had spend all that time studying. Time management never was my thing.



iii) Sashi's birthday party



iv) Perhentian trip with my lovelies

Oh maaaaan I miss these girls :'(

And yes, I made yet another video ! :D


v) Philippines with Sashi
Boracay - amazing island.
I can finally cross off parasailing from my ''things to do in life'' bucket list.

Hanging out with Sash totally boosts my self confidence, as you can see.

vi) Goodbyes

HOMETOWN !

My silly billies (:

My last Malaysian meal. This is absolute torture now, just looking at the picture.

My last night in Malaysia before coming over to the states (: 

vii) Making of ''Face in the Crowd'


Tryina make Julian look like he's fresh from bed.

Getting Adrian's voice for narration (:

So we shot the short movie within a week cause we had a short time window between my Philippines trip and my final leave to China & US.
I had the material and edited it in China.
The short movie was for a video contest organised by Monash University.

Aaaaaaaaaaand WE WON !
RM 3000 grand prize.
It just feels so amazing to be a a part of this - to know all the time I spent on it totally paid off (:
(Wish I could say the same about school work)



viii) China & Family Time

A monk wrote this for me - it was quite inspiring (though I honestly didn't know what it meant and had to get it translated)
I'm not exactly a religious person - I barely know anything about Buddhism - but this trip to China definitely got me engaged in my roots in many ways.





Wilber Pan and KOBE BRYANT :D
at some event promoting Smart Cars.

Celebrating my father's birthday with his staff.
I'm just super happy and glad I got to spend his birthday with him and my whole family - considering how little I get to see him.

I owe everything I have to them <3 br="" nbsp="">

I probably missed alot of pictures and am lacking alot of descriptions but yeah, in a nutshell, it's been pretty eventful.

I miss everyone.
I miss home.
I miss Malaysia.

But I ain't ready to come back home yet. Not just yet.
