Faces of ICSJ

1. Joshua Fernandez



The gentleman on the far left. A Klang-ite and Bryant Lee's ex-classmate from La Salle Klang A crazy dude. Joshua is the kind of guy that you just can't help liking. The life of our little group and has a joke for every situation. He also does very good impersonations of our teachers which always leaves us laughing hard. However, through a sad turn of timetables we were allocated different classes. I'm in JUS1 where else he, in JUS2.


2. Tur Chin Hua



Also a Klang-ite and Bryant Lee's ex-classmate from La Salle Klang. On 1st impression he looks like a typical Chinese guy eating noodles. When you look closer, you find out that, he is still a typical Chinese guy eating noodles. Excellent at maths and memorizing, and is also rumored to be a pro at Chemistry.


3. Avinash Jey



A guy from Pahang. Met him during orientation and kinda kicked off from there. Stays at Subang Avenue and is currently in the same class as I am.


4. Andrea Lau



A girl from Kuching, Sarawak. She is in A-Levels Arts doing Law. Met her during orientation. According to her a lot of people from Sarawak come to the Subang area to further their studies. Apparently, the colleges and universities in Sarawak are lousy..... A sweet girl who hangs out with us during lunch, cause according to her, quote unquote "All the fun people are in Science". I have no reason not to disagree. XD


5. Arhwin



Arhvin joined the May intake so he has finished his Malaysian Studies and Moral. An avid reader and a fellow Lassalian from La Salle PJ. But the thing that makes Arvin unique is....


6. Ashwin



.....that he has a clone named Ashwin. I don't know what it is, but there something about parents and twins and name that sound so similar that can't be avoided. Don't they ever think that it will be harder for other people to decipher who's who? Also an avid reader and like his brother, a very outspoken person. Well, that is a trait of Lassalian students..... The only way to tell them apart is their hairstyle, and then they had to go cut it. Great.


7. Kar Yan



The woman on the right. A native Subang person and maths queen. Was trained in the ancient art of mathematical dominance since the age of 3. Not much is know about her yet, but time shall tell.


8. Calvin Ng



As hard to believe as it may seem, this macho, terminator looking guy is the class joker. He is the guy who makes JUS1, JUS1. Seriously the class would be boring without him. Together with Dennis, he can make any boring class fun. Also has an ongoing feud with Eugene.

At the varsity

Being true to my incomplete name and nature, the post on June Camp shall forever remain incomplete. Contrary to what people may thing, being incomplete is not something that is easy to become. It actually requires SKILL. XD

All that aside, it has already been a week since I furled in my sails and dropped anchor at Subang Jaya, Selangor. 7 days since I left the comfort of my Malacca home and the good food that resides there. 168 hours since I started my journey through college and 10080 minutes of living alone in my own room. And i have to say that until now I have no complaints about my new way of living.

Now 10 facts about me and my new college :

1. My college is situated right bang in the middle of a food hub. You'll never go hungry again.
2. My lecturers are all Indian.
3. My physics lecturer brought a projectile launcher that shoots apples and potatoes to my class on the second day. It uses a valve and a canister of compressed air to work. Gonna try it out next week, YEAH!
4. I found out that nothing can move faster than light, even if your traveling at the speed of light, you still cannot go faster than light.
5. My maths lecturer recommends a book to us every class without fail.
6. My chemistry lecturer sounds like he's from India.
7. I was psyco-ed to buy original textbooks.
8. I currently hate Paul the octopus. But I'm going to be a hypocrite and wait till the finals to decide whether Paul is suited for the fire pot or for the aquarium.
9. It only takes 20 minutes for me to walk from my house to Sunway College. (And I didn't even sweat)
10. I still have no internet at home. (Infiltrated Sunway College and am blogging from the library there)

June Camp 2010 Part One

1st things 1st, I know I said that I would be blogging about Final Fantasy 7 in my next post, but due to circumstances when I suddenly found myself in Singapore the day after I finished the game and June Camp I cannot fulfill that promise. However something even better than ALL THE COMPUTER GAMES in the world has presented itself to me, and I couldn't help myself blogging about it. That right folks, its the Annual Lim Ah Pin COC June Camp!

For your information, I intentionally pang sei-ed (fang fei ji-ed) the Inter-congregational Camp held by Klang because as David Chua said, Luke 10:42. XD

So I left for Singapore last Saturday by bus and stayed at Ernest's home for two nights before the camp. Little did I expect that Ernest had a FULL HD 1080 TV at his house with a FULL 5.1 Surround Sound System plus a BlueRay Disc Player!!! Whoa! Shock! Enjoyed Die Hard 3 at his house, was totally and LITERALLY blown away by the explosions and crisp audio. 


On Sunday we all met at the petrol kiosk near the Church Building and started our journey towards Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort, Johor. Upon arrival, I finally realized why I paid $190 for the camp. The place was beautiful, magnificent, AWESOME! Something like A'Famosa resort except more well maintained. We had our 1st session immediately after arrival, which was a briefing on the camp's theme - Building a Stronger and Closer Family, by Uncle Tian Seng, Elder of LAP. Then a briefing on the rules of the camp by the Camp IC, The Awesome Isaac Chua. YEAH MAN! By that time, everybody was already getting hungry, esp Jon Yang, who kept complaining that he can't think when he was hungry.... so we proceeded to the Makan Area, where we were greeted by a awesome array of food! Chicken, Beef, Fish, Soup, Dessert, everything was delicious! Especially the beef. Yum Yum! And it was 4 days of delicious food everyday! $190 was seriously worth it.

After lunch we had our ice-breaker games, which were Human Bingo and Deserted Island. Both were very fun games, especially the last game, where we proved that being nice to others never ends up in disappointment. =D 

After the games we proceeded to our villas. I found that I would be sharing a villa with Jon Yang, Amos, Alvin Chan, Kenneth, Darren Li, Benjamin and his wife and Uncle something. The villas were as predicted, SUPER BIG AND AWESOME! Oh yeah!

After everything, we headed for dinner and the 2nd session. Based on the theme, we were targeting the negative attitudes in the church, mainly Envy, Gossip, Partiality, Personalities, Complaints, Jealousy, Bitterness and Comparing. Each session was very enlightening and informative. After listening to the lessons and through the discussions I realized that the negative attitudes pose a serious threat to the Family of God, and can potentially cause divisions. The theme of the camp was certainly well thought of and related to the present problems people are facing in this new generation. Kudos to the organisers at managing to pinpoint the main problem faced by Churches in this generation.

The next day, everything went according to schedule except that the games were canceled due to rain. A huge disappointment there. So my group took that opportunity to prepare of our skit. Note: we were separated to 4 groups, Alpha, Beta, Charlie and Delta. I was in Delta, together with Justin Kwan, Alvin and Jeshua Lin, Reuben's parents, Amerlyn, Melissa and a couple of adults who i can't remember their names. We decided to make a skit based on the session topics.

Well, it's already 12.15am and Hai is getting impatient that I'm on his comp for this long. So till later.

TO BE CONTINUED IN PART 2......
