Nowadays it’s pretty hard to stay updated… this blog, I mean.

Right now, this very second – *tick* – that I am writing this entry, I am supposed to be on a one-day Ipoh trip with tourism club…

Yes, Ipoh is my beautiful hometown and where the irritatingly popular Old Town kopitiams came from… a trip to my own place, but I still signed up for it, because I knew it was going to be very different going with friends.

HOWEVER, I am now – instead – sitting lazily in front of my computer writing this entry because I am sick – got a head-splitting headache, fever and some very annoying sore throat…

… and it has been haunting me for like almost a week already… Huhu…

I hate missing the trip, I really do, but thanks to waking up only at 2PM this afternoon (instead of 4.30AM if I went for the trip), I’m feeling slightly better now.

Anyway, come to think of it – if I went for this Ipoh trip, this would be the 4th consecutive weekend that I’ve gone back to Ipoh!

It’s like – go back – come back – go back again – come back again – and again – and again… 4 TIMES – more than 1500 kilometers in journey! Simply double that distance and we can reach Taiwan by air!

The 1st trip back to Ipoh was made in the week straight after the Endau Rompin trip. I went back for the semester break and then returned after a few days for a very special Genting trip;

We stayed there for three nights because of the terrible afternoon fog that scared us from driving down after the second night – so we stayed for another.

By the way, check out the brand name of the bumper cars used in the Genting indoor theme park:

… as if reminding everyone to say:

Anyway, the following weekend, went back to Ipoh for a wedding dinner, at which Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan made an honorable speech, and then tendered his resignation from his ministerial post less than two weeks later.

Then last week, I went back to Ipoh again as an assistant in a children’s camp.

…. where kids were painfully tortured and laughed at.

NO LA! We were very good teachers… The other kids did it to them! And the ‘victims’ volunteered themselves…

Before I end, let me announce that my laptop is – again – not working!

This is neither the first, nor the second, but the THIRD time I have to bring my laptop to friggin’ Times Square (so far away) to fix it…

… And that’s because local computer shops have checked it and don’t think it’s a small problem and asked me to bring back to the official service center - terrible huh?

What’s more, all three times it’s been the same problem… And although each time it seems to be fixed, it comes back again!

(For the record: I have an entire house of IT students staying with me and I am an Electronics major myself. I’m not being infected by some stupid virus or other software stuff, thank you.)

And to add insult to the injury – my laptop is just slightly over a year old! The warranty has only just expired!

Let this add me to Acer’s already stinking unsatisfied customers’ list.

Sigh… It’s dinner time now, I think the other committees who have gone for the Ipoh trip are probably having their steamboat dinner now…

I gotta go for dinner too! Update soon!
