A Weekend of Experience

I do agree that I was being a failed Blogger, who neglected her blog for so long. Haha. There were times when I said in my head 'I want to blog about this' but I forgot at the end. =.=

Okay. What does the title mean? Hehe. Well, I am proud to say, after this weekend, I have increased my leadership skills, teamwork ability, social network, ability to face problems ^^ I'm not boasting, as I was the event planner of an event, and a volunteer for charity! =)

## Trip to National Science Center (26/11/2011): The event that has been anticipated by Maths & Science Club Committee and students who are participating. Had a bad start, as the bus was late (as usual. My dear college, when are you gonna improve your bus services). Other than that, everything was fine. Got feedback from a few participants, they enjoyed the event a lot and was very satisfied with the organizer (which is US! ^^). A big THANK YOU to all of the committee who has participated and planned this event! (Forgive me if I missed someone, let me know)

JsKee, the president, the main organizer, the planner, the one who has contributed without wanting for return *bows*;

Li Kien, the VP, the one who brought friends to support our event *bows*;

Poh Ling, the treasurer, who kept track of the money flow of the event, responsible, dedicated to her post *bows*;

Kelvin, the secretary, who was very responsible in taking attendance, keeping the list *bows*;

Sam, another one who has contributed without expecting return, trying to help in any ways he can *bows*;

Kai Yuan, did not participate this event but gave a huge amount of support by helping us to contact National Science Centre, and buying the afternoon tea *bows*;

Kian Shin, another one who helped in any way he can, without expecting return *bows*;

Mr.Saw, the most dedicated lecturer and advisor ever, who supported us in anything we did, and tried his best to help us solve our problems *super bow!*

UCTI Maths & Science Club rocks, and will continue to rock forever! ^^

Friends Forever!!

UCTI Maths &Science Club committee ROCKS TO THE MAX!!!

## Red Carnival 2011 (27/11/2011): This was not my first experience being a volunteer, but I am still learning through this process. Although tired from the event held one day before, I did not have the idea of giving up. Early morning, I see a bunch of active people working together, trying to make this event a success. They, like me, sacrificed their sleep and relaxation of a Sunday morning to join this event, the Red Carnival, which pledges for the sickness that everybody is scared of, AIDS. It is very meaningful, when through this event, I can see many different things. I see the fear of people towards this sickness, I see the cold-hearted side of the society (and also the warm-hearted side as well), I see people who are different, but working on a same objective as me. I dislike discrimination towards people who are different from us, I guess this event is suitable for me? =)

UCTI representatives in the carnival. Hehe

Roving Angels team. Who strive to get as much donations as we can, turned down by many people =(

With the event leader, Russell

See you guys next year! =)

I agree with my lecturer. There are things that cannot be gained through books. It's EXPERIENCE. Although tired, I've got more than I expected ^^ Hope to have more eventful weekends to come! I really really enjoyed them, especially when I have a bunch of great friends with me =)

Real Steel

Muscular guy? Not my type. Robots? Not my cup of tea. What brought me to Real Steel? I guess it will be the positive comments on Facebook. Was being a little too easily influenced now. Haha. I remembered JsKee having a bad impression towards this movie also 'Watch robots fight again, not nice de', end up both of us step into the cinema for this movie. Haha

Synopsis:

“Real Steel” is an action drama about a former boxer (Hugh Jackman) who, against all odds, gets one last shot at a comeback when he teams up with his estranged son (Dakota Goyo) to build and train the perfect contender for the new high-tech sport of robot boxing.

Ratings: 9/10 (Guess what)

Maybe because I went into the cinema without high expectations, I feel very surprised of the 'awesomeness' of this movie. It can be said, uhm, against the flow. Movies nowadays are too emphasizing on 3D effects, visual effects, bla bla bla, and sometimes, the producers forgot how to hammer the movie into people's hearts. However, in this movie, we certainly can find something to treasure and appreciate. Father-son relationship made a lot of people cry, it seems. Child-robot relationship made everyone go like 'awwww :3'

Without neglecting the usual elements that attracts audiences' attention, Real Steel displays an adequate amount of computer graphics and visual effects. I love the tech gizmos there. Imagine holding a transparent phone. Haha. And Atom the robot is cute! Maybe because I'm having too much of Artificial Intelligence (AI) now. I have a subject on that this semester. LOL

If you are looking for sentimental dramas, watch this movie. If you are seeking some hot guys/girls to spice  up your lives, watch this movie. If you love robots, watch this movie. If you like to laugh, watch this movie. I you are adventurous, watch this movie. In conclusion, this movie is suitable for kids, teens, adults and senior citizens. No matter what are you looking for, there will be some of it inside. =)

Had Manhattan Fish Market's Giant Fried Platter for Two (more than two) for RM30++ only! (normal price RM60++) Cool right? We can buy the coupon in advance and just use them to get the food! Whee~~ Spent RM16 for lunch only ^^ Check it out: groupon.my

Oh ya. Just to mention one more thing. Ever since I've changed my phone to LG Optimus One, I'm gonna do something that I love to do: Photography! Whee~~ These are some of my 'not-so-artistic' artistic shots. lol.

As for dinner, I forgot to take photos! Anyway I had dinner at a Japanese restaurant located at Old Klang Road. NiHon-Kai Restaurant. For me it tastes normal (Sushi Zanmai better! ^^) but there were people queuing outside the restaurant for seats! Hmmm. Up to you to judge it then =)

Day after. My Lunar Birthday. Hehe. *No red eggs, sob sob* Spent a great time in a Korean Restaurant with my bunch of friends which includes: Jerry, YawKwan & ChewPui, LipXin & LiKien, Brian & Cristin (another birthday girl ^^), HawJeh & LihYin, Su Nyen and dear dear JsKee. I thought it was going to be a normal get-together dinner, but they prepared cakes and presents for me and Cristin (another girl who was born on 8th Oct)! Surprised! Thank you thank you. I like the boss there. He was so friendly and guess what. He played the birthday song in the restaurant when we cut the cake! Wow. First time I got this type of treatment. Really surprised ^^

This is it. The price is around RM40 per person. Worth it because you can refill side dishes and very filling.

The gang! (part of it)

Thanks guys and girls! ^^

Sincere thanks to everyone who has participated, wished and contributed to my birthday celebrations! ^^
