List of my favourite things.
Alright alright, many people read the previous post, and thought that was what i wanted for my bday, as a result i received many complains of, hey i cant afford those things u wan la..can you tell me what you want for your birthday?
There is a few favorite type of answer that leaves your friends clueless even after telling them:
"Something fancy but not expensive" (what is expensive to you -_-)
"Something from the heart, sincerity counts :)" (What is considered sincere -_-)
"I'll be happy to receive anything.( Err, ru sure anything?)
But of course, not to trouble my friend so much for this, i squeezed my brain a little to come out with a list of things im into:
2.Anything that inherits a Burberry Checkered Pattern.Even at the pirated extend XD.But im more sensitive about the color of the checkered.I like the brownish one, not the blackwhite or pinkish one pls.XD
3.Anything that is Spiky in form.(eg:Spike wristband,Spike helmet,i love ma helmet XD, no porcupine,durian and cactus pls -_-)
4.Barack Obama Lolx, this one is about action figures.Im into Selected Animes & Marvel Characters, be sure ask for confirmation of character b4 purchase :p
5.Im an LED freak! anything which has to do with LED, even if u just buy me an LED christmas light from IKEA oso ill go crazy bout it lolx.
6.Martial Arts. Remember the Mike T who likes to kick and punch everywhere.Anything that bring his life back to martial arts would be the best XD
7. I have yet tasted a Moët tho, due to its price. But more importantly, what i want to point out here is, lets have good wine together :)
8.Oh yeah, Death Note! I love deathnote so much, i already have the figurine above, but there is still Ryuk,Kira & Misa left to complete the scollection.Any Death Note items wud be cool.
Ps i already have a Death Note.
9.Tamiya stuffs. T_T i know...Mike is still a kid..
10.and finally, What can remind you more of Mike T than MILITARY STUFFS!!!WAHAHAHAHHA..so yeah...military stuffs.imhappy even if u throw me a grenade.
Things to avoid. cheap MUGS, T SHIRT & FIGURINES
COZ THE RISK OF BUYING THE OPPOSITE OF MY TASTE OF T SHIRTS AND FIGURINES IS HIGH.(When i say cheap, its about the design, not da price XD)
U might as well just buy me a bottle of Hoegarden :p

The longest week of the year.
Sleeping irregularly from 2am -8 am and continued with 12pm-2pm makes me feels like i am living 2 days in 1. Also the fact that i've been oversleeping in, some days (11hours) leaves me with a sub-conscious state throughout the whole day.
Along this week, I've tried to push my schedule forward, trying to open a big time gap at the edge, in order to allocate space for amendments and touch ups.
The first step was, changing the pattern of my work flow. I used to rush for dissertation submissions after my Design Principles tutorial, followed by the design principle submission after the dissertation tutorial. What i found out, is that, this arrangement actually slows down the momentum of my work, and that each time i rush for something, it does not turn out to be self-satisfactory. Therefore, i started to tweak the process a little, (based on my short term memories) I start doing all the fixes of my dissertation right after the tutorial and same goes to the design principles progress. The result was, a greater momentum with ample space for details.
I started sketching on Monday morning , visualizing the atmosphere at every level, taking advantage of the natural lighting that is directly illuminating the building's interior and finally linking the exterior into the interior. At 1am, i realized that, there was a note in the schedule, pointing out the requirements for furniture layout and spatial function. I turned on my AutoCAD and started to draft till, 2 am.
With much readiness, on Tuesday, i walked in the tutorial like a zombie, placing my head horizontally on the table, anticipating my turn. It was a brief one that day, as most of the class mates were busy for the MSID competition and did a little less for this week's tutorial. I showed my sketches & model accompanied by the floor plan layout. The feedback was good, as i was given a direction to further improve. I was inspired with more ideas and opportunity to expand the details and character of the design. After tutorial, i spent some time with Jon, trying to get him out of the box, and at the same time, have some laughter moments with Anna @ BU8 Old Town .I met up with Miss Psycho at night, conversing about, mainly, psychology.Slept at 2am again that night.
Wednesday morning, was the Design Rules and Regulations lecture. It was considered as short and brief, but the informations that was given is enough to restrict most of designs, i assume. I find this lecture very helpful, as most of the research that i needed to do for the practicality of my design was all covered. This, again, saves me a lot of time, to resume with my progress.Grateful & thanks to Miss Huwi for this enlightenment. Had Roti Canai with my fellow Spartans (YL,Jon,Ady,HS & Ah Tung) at the Sri Mawar mamak that i missed so much.The food still taste as great. Went home and fall asleep at 2pm. At 5, i woke up and started deleting all the partitions and furniture in my space planning, and start to re-organize everything again. This is a necessary step in a space planning. If you were to be leaving all the lines of partitions in ur plan when u are trying to fix it, you are just restricting your mind, with a risk of coming out with the same layout in the end.Finished an slept at 2am that nite.
Thursday morning, i woke up with the false alarm that the dissertation tutorial was today.But the fact was,it only applies to the afternoon session.So i went back to sleep.(Yes, a pork stew indeed)It was considered a free time, as there was nothing i could do for dissertation(Finished on Last Saturday,Passed up on this Wednesday). So what i did was a full day research of architectural images and ideas that relates to my compact design approach.Slept at 12am that day.
FIABCI talk, finally came this FRIDAY, well, without the Ang Moh Architect, maybe because of the failed attempt of April Fools last year which pissed him of, converting the whole incident to an awkward one for everyone, and as a collection in my Epilogue of Black Humour.
That morning shined with a glow of hope, as my dissertation curse was finally free.I was haunted by Miss Huwi's spell (Mike, after 3 weeks, i don't think you get what i am telling you) and suffered quite a severe trauma everytime i place the file in then Staff Room. The good news is, I am just "a few footnotes" away from completing my dissertation this week. Combining my analysis and case studies, and write a full page conclusion, and im done for it.The feedback totally refreshes the mind this time.
FIABCI's food this year, has more variety, but the amount seem to be not sufficient for the hungry creatures in the class. For instance, Sara and Jon, one was complaning bout the amount and the other one was complaning about the taste. On the contrary, me & YL who is critically sensitive about food taste and quality , ate the food without a single complain. The talk was like a converting students to the "Green Religion" in order to lengthen the time before the apocalypse.
Before i forget, i like Jon's new look.It has a very attractive feature and metrosexual feel to it.Good luck with the people who are going to approach you soon bud. It was a little disappointing, that i was not able to attend his performance at Sunway coz of the clashes of programme(my bad) that i had with my secondary school mates. I was so surprised to see Pei Jun in front of my house without a single direction from me. That night was a memory that i will keep, a long lost feeling, of me and my secondary school friends.I was sketching my facade design whenever i could that night, even during the chat which lasted till 3am.
Next day was egg sandwich for SATURDAY morning! It's been some time i didn't feel such stuffiness during the day.
After cracking off some poker and blackjack game, Pei Jun sent me back home. Again, i was impressed because she did not refer to anything at all. My mind is telling me that i need a rest from work today, and as a result, i stopped doing anything, and took a short nap at 2pm before going out at 4pm. So i met up with Agent Gummy at The Curve for a short talk, since it's been a while that we've not met. Complementing the dark skies, was the heavy rain which kept me stuck in The Curve for an extra 1 hour. I went to the BORDERS, and i never realized that it was a haven of interior architecture sources!! Just that they are all wrapped up in plastic -_-. I took a Michael Jackson biography book for leisure instead. My conclusion was, the awards, contributions, showmanship, pioneerism, and acheivement of a great man, can end up being ignored, and condemned and eliminated at just a single mistake. Leads to a sheeple theory of, the more popular you are, the more unforgivable your mistakes are.and the only time people are going to love you again is after when you are gone.A sad fact, that comes in a "Sheeple" form. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheeple)
After returning the biography to the rack, i decided to ignore the drizzle and head to saito without a fizzle.(Lolxwtf). I was glad that i am not too late, to witness the splendid performance from my fellow year one friends. Kent & Mohsen was one of the outstanding casts in my previous EMW3 video, and they did not disappoint me at all this time. With much independence, the Year 1s, come out with a hilarious plot of time travel sequels with elements that keeps you entertained throughout the show. Watch.
After the award ceremony, i realized that the only meal i had that day was breakfast O_O. Unable to withstand the hunger, i made a quick ride from PJ State to Subang II. It was one of the best ride i ever had :p Mom's Curry Chicken Rice was scrumptious that night, with aroma that feeds the soul, and taste that melts the heart. Slept at 2am again T_T
Sunday. I woke up at 1pm today. That's 11 hours of sleep. damn.

There are list of things that i want that anyone can afford, and also things that only can afford if u are fuckin rich, and also things that u wont even be able to afford even if u are supernatural, but yet it might be achievable by those who truly understands.
There are two types of person who thinks that they know me.
Type 1: They think that they know everything about me already, but the fact that, they are still far from knowing what my mind is capable of.That, is the lowest level of knowing me. Type 2: I recently met this person who knows how to play along with the spontaneous thoughts that i came out with, but still, says that i could not be understood.That, is a higher level of knowing me.
The list arrangements are not on priority context, its random. XD
1st on list:Orchestra!
The trails of audio memory from the London Philharmonic Orchestra, i can still feel it now...BRAVO clap clap T__T....BRAVO...clap clap

3.1 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R (Difficulty: Slightly Costly)
I am always eyeing on this bike, not too loud, not too fast, and has a form which looks cool enough for me :)
Just dreaming of driving one of this concept cars -_-
5th on the List : Canon 1D Mark IV (Difficulty: Fuck you Mike says buyer)
A beautiful picture, a happy Mike.see the relation?
6th on the list: Mixed Martial Arts (Difficulty:Need time T_T)

Approved
Things girls don't realize....
1. Guys are more emotional than you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer than you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.
2. Guys may be flirting around all day, but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
3. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
4. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
5. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're going for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
6. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
7. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
8. Guys don't care how gorgeous you are, if you're a bitch Goodbye.
9. Giving a guy a hanging message like 'You know what?!..uh...nevermind..' would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
10. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
11. Guys are very open about themselves.
12. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
13. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
14. Guys love you more than you love them.
15. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. They rarely use beautiful or gorgeous. If a guy uses that, he loves you or likes you a whole hell of a lot.
16. No matter how much guys talk about butts and boobs, personality is key.
17. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.
18. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
19. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
20. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
21. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
22. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, 'Please come and listen to me.'
23. ,b>If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
24. When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to disagree with them.
25. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
26. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
27. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
28. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
29. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
30. A guy would give his right nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
31. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
32. Not all guys are jerks. Just because ONE is a jackass doesn't mean he represents ALL of them.
36. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.
37. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.
38. When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.
39. Even if you dump a guy months ago and he loved you he probably still does and if he had one wish it would be you to come back into his life.

Last Sundays....
I realized that things are changing around Sunday School. Firstly, the color of Shrine Hall was painted into a scheme which depicts of the Tombs in Malacca.
All i know for sure is, maintenance is necessary, and improvements have to be made before a building crumbles.
Believe it or not, i actually took a small piece of the blue and orange tiles back as memories. I was thinking that, if i bring this 2 tiles back 10 years later and ask if anyone know where this belongs to, will anyone remember?
It was my Kalyana Mitras who was there in the never ending practices, leading me to the right track, and even went to the extend to cater to my keys, so that i can express myself freely on stage.I have a deep gratitude to each and everyone of you, i don't want to be too specific, as i might left out people unintentionally.
Picture above: Which part of the Sunday School is this?
Picture above: Yan Leng made this card for me, its so cute and it really touches me.But on that day she took it and say, give it to your fan, im not your fan.and in the end she says, oh, you got no fans. Yan Leng, no matter how mean u are, i know u don't mean it.and always remember that, Nothing's gonna change my love for you~ :p
I was assigned to come out with a Kung Fu move which blends with the performance for the chinese dance. A funny point about the song choice is, most of them are really tastefully traditional, but there was an exception, which is the chinese one. It was a song by Jay Chou "紅模仿" Hong Mo Fang, Popular Immitation". That song has a character of Hip Hop with Spanish Trumpet background, the only thing remains was the Chinese Rap that was involved. In my opinion, it think it is opening an opportunity for us to do something new and also input our understanding of chinese characteristics into the dance itself.
" No matter what music you are listening to, you can always feel it and dance to it,that is an essence of a true dancer" - Miket
The fun part about this act is that, i came out with random Kung Fu moves with all the flip kicks and swift punches combining it with a lil break dance to connect with the hiphop beats in the song. That act was then enhanced with the umbrella and fan moves by my fellow Kalyana Mitras. The whole opening act, from the Malay- to the Dikir Barat end was full of energy.Something that reminds me that, this is what i need in doing my projects.
Then it was the session where i start taking pictures on the backstage, i liked how traditional our clothes was that night. Everyone looked amazing & graceful.Kelly and Kai Cong really cracked me up with the lamest that they could come out with.Their conversations are one of a kind, something which will never generated from my mind.XD
Jcijci is my biggest victim. From multiple kick attacks to brain damages, she really can endure it well, and tried to fight back sometime.But of course, the winner would always be me :P Despite getting bully all da time, she cares a lot about my personal well being.A good definition of Kalyana Mitra XD
There is also this fun part that i share with people like Chiang , Mun Ping and Bryan. They come out with silly stuffs, just by actions, you can have a year supply of non stop laughter. Bryan, was a person who really knows how to react upon my physical jokes and even play along.Sui Yuan,me & Bryan even come out with lotsa epic jokes during the sketch, "great minds think alike :p". Chiang and Jiok, owes me a pool session.
Surprise guests of the nite involves all the SPM-ers like Justin Timberlake, Suilun Diesels, Nth gona change my love for Yan Leng, Sunny Smiley Xinyi & My beloved primary 5 Weigin.( I might left out people again T___T im sorry)...This is considered the 1st time that i actually took a pic with Xinyi with my cam, and she is just a lovey dovey sweet girl as always. My regrets wud be, not being able to get to Weigin, & snap a pic with her. The days ahead wud be busy enuff, and i actually left this out.Daym..:\
Oh yeah, congrats to Bryan & Kelly's "fake accident" which gives another shock to Vanessa again.Bravo! Happy Bday to Van again! and for what i want to tell you, its already in the sms. Thanks for the guidance and the opportunity to sing, dance and perform with all of you. it has given me the insight of attitude and passion that is needed for my year 3 degree work, and in life.
Despite the heavy rain, it was so unexpected that my bro, sis and mom actually popped out in the Asoka hall watching me LOLXXXXX!!!!! Dad fetched them in and had to go to work for survival :). I am just speechless when i found out that they came to support this small performance that i did.My mom always have this sense of pride when any of us are going to perform on stage.My family and friends are the heart of the energy that drives my passion forward XD
Dear Kalyana Mitras, saying that i will miss you guys, is just not enough anymore. This void would be felt deep inside, but this void is necessary for me to fill in with the overloading work that will come by later on. You are not replaced, and never will be replaced. When it is over, i promise,that i will be back.You and i, had already made a pact :)
