Men have always generalized things based on what had happened in the past. This is indeed very true. Modern human beings are rather rational most of the time. One of the methods to find the probability that one thing will happen is through historical data. No offence… I learned this in my Statistics class. I am not kidding, man…. I "had always" paid full attention during my Stats lecture no matter how bad I am against it…. Well, most of the time lah… Hehe.
Contrastingly, my recent New Year celebration disobeyed this probability law. It is not that I dislike Terengganu for its “peacefulness”, but it really pushed my tolerance right to the end of the cliff when I could not even find a decent Cyber Café at 12.00am of Christmas day. The sole Cyber Café (JustCom) was full of hardcore gamers… And there were, too, some crazy ones queuing up for their turns. Therefore, my friends (Jin Sern, Eu Jeen, Han Loong, Chun Liang, Sin Jei, Jia Haur) and I had no choice but to head home and sleep. Haiz… *sigh* :(
However, I was proved very wrong to stigmatise KT as a place of no joy. Maybe no entertainment, but still, it has the joy of its own. The joy of celebrating New Year Eve with friends and loved ones brings about a unique feeling… It was sheer happiness. Before that, I think I have the responsibility to extend my humble apologies to Debbie because I did not attend her countdown party at Michelle’s house. I certainly could not be at two places at the same time. But, I am sure you all would have also had a gala time without my presence. You may wonder where Zhao Ming will be if not at that party… Time to reveal the truth… Haha… I was celebrating New Year Eve with my fellow friends… But before that, I went to fetch my Sweetie from her house.
It was kind of funny… My dear called me to ring Zheng Wei up to find out where would they be “countdowning” New Year and perhaps we would join them. I thought that maybe this wasn’t a bad idea after all. So, I phoned Zheng Wei’s mobile…. And the one at the receiving end was definitely Chai Ei’s voice. He said, “ Where are you? Alright… Wait in front of my house.” Okay, no problem… (but it turned out to be a huge problem…) 7 minutes, 10 minutes…. 15 minutes…. Time was ticking fast, but still, Zheng Wei’s Proton Waja was no where to be seen. It seemed not so right, huh..?
After that, there came a million-dollar call…
“Hello.. Where are you now?”
“I am waiting in front of Chai Ei’s house loh… Where are you guys?”
“Hahaha…. Just now you not phone to Zheng Wei’s hp meh?”
“Yala…. But the one telling me to go to his house is Chai Ei ma…”
“Har..? You can recognize Chai Ei’s voice meh?”
“&*%*€$*€$^*^&&$...... You think I am so stupid de meh...????! Lolz.... My own friend’s voice takkan I can forget....???????”
“Haha! Okay, you wait there for 5 minutes… We are heading there.”
Dear couldn’t stop laughing when I told her what had happened.
At last… At long last… After some small misunderstandings, Zheng Wei, Chun Liang and Chai Ei arrived shortly in a car. I think they were shocked when they saw her in my car… (Later, days after that Zheng Wei gave me a piece of his mind for not telling him the presence of my little Sweetie.) As Dear wanted to meet Gim Hui, I asked Zheng Wei to invite the gracious princess from her cozy Wisma Tenang. They had tried all the ways and tricks they have under their sleeves to coax her out, but Gim Hui seemed to be firm on her stand. For your information, we waited for almost an hour just to be informed they had failed in their mission. Without Gim Hui, the party must still go on. We had some drinks at Mumbai, Park Royal. Later, Chen Han and Shou Lee joined us. Shou Lee was blasted right on his face with critics from Zheng Wei about his blog. Lol…. If you want to read something on economics and feel that the Business section in newspaper does not provide enough “out-of-the-box” opinions, try clicking on the link Wong Shou Lee at the right-hand side of this page. You will either be amazed or killed by boredom on the spot. As for me, I think it is a state of the art economics web log I have ever come across. However, I feel that it is only suitable for those who are involved in economics studies… A fantastic blog with lots of constructive opinions and ideas, really.
Half an hour later, Dear and I bade farewell to my friends and we headed to other place to celebrate our Happy New Year. Hehe… But I will not reveal where we went. Kiak Kiak… Let it be a mystery to you and secret to me. All Homo sapiens do need privacy, right? It is our human right. :-P At 12am sharp, there were loads and loads of fireworks… Then….Haha… It was kind of a romantic and memorable night. Guess who was the first person I see in year 2007… I think no further details are needed to be added… :-)
After that, I fetched Dear back as it was rather late and her Dad was quite worried. What to do..? The only daughter in the family.. On the way back, I unexpectedly saw a car which was full of Form 5 juniors (Debbie was in the car too. They were going back after the countdown party at Ibai). The intriguing part is that they were stopped by the police… My first guess was that they were busted for being overloaded. However, I later found out that the driver was actually fined RM50.00 for knocking down the roadblock cone set up by the police. RM50.00 seemed not logical to me. Perhaps it was the bribe for the policemen. Bribery, bribery, bribery… Sound like a typical Malaysia syndrome. I wonder when can we totally erase bribery from the enforcement agencies in our country? Haha… I admit I am not truly a patriotic person who is willing to devote everything to the country but bribery can really wreck a country as shown in the history of many other countries.
I am already writing out of topic. Alright… It is the time to stop and continue to study my Biology. There will a Bio quiz next week… First quiz for this year. Oh shit… It is already 4pm.. Happy New Year… Anyeong Haseyo!

Overall Review of My First Semester Long Holidays
“Time and tide waits for no man”. I can’t help but to agree with this statement. No, I am certainly not trying to sound poetic… It is just that I have only 3 days left in Kuala Terengganu (KT), my peaceful hometown, before I begin my Semester 2 studies. I do not know why, but time does not seem to be enough to me. Actually, my End of Semester holiday is as long as two months….and my now-rusty brain is a clear evidence that eight weeks of staying at home can really wreck one’s mind and reduce his or her intelligence and alertness level. It is no joking matter….I feel so “numb” now.
Alright, here’s the overall review of my first semester long holidays… Before returning to KT, I had had a wonderful time in KL….particularly at Starhill (Bukit Bintang) and Midvalley. It was quite a totally different experience when I followed my uncle to work and take part in his social life. And how many of us can really sit on a comfortable chair at the working desk in YTL Holdings? Haha… I am not kidding. My uncle works for EXTIVA, one of the branch companies of YTL Holdings, which is in-charged of providing networking services. Maxis, JVC and Celcom are some of their major clients… Alright, enough business secrets being unfolded. And the best part is I had the golden opportunity to take my dinner with one of EXTIVA’s biggest client. Well, I should say that it is my uncle’s client… Uncle told me that guy provides at least RM100,000 to his department monthly. Therefore, taking dinner with him should not be something cheap. When dinner was over, my uncle paid the RM200 bill. Luckily, my uncle has entertainment allowance that enables him to claim the RM200 back from the company. Money, money, money…… We are living in a money-money world.
Working at EXTIVA office :-)
One Day in YTL, LOT 10
Yeah... That's ZMLee
Although the time I had spent in KL for my holiday is kind of short, I do not gain nothing. After a long three months waiting, my laptop had at last arrived. Here’s the catch…latest Acer model with 20% off. Haha!!! The 20% discount is nearly half of my iPod price. That’s why my uncle had always called me to wait first…wait until the Aspire 5580 notebook with integrated webcam and microphone plus Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 arrived at EXTIVA office. That’s right…! Where else can you find such a good offer? After that, my uncle accompanied me to the Automated Teller Machine to withdraw RM1000++ (real amount is not disclosed due to some privacy purposes) to pay for my iPod which he had helped me to buy earlier. I really had butterflies in my stomach as I was carrying such a huge amount of money in my pocket… fear of being robbed haunted me along my way, but I braved myself and promised to myself that I would give a good bash to anyone who had a bad intention on me, be it male or female. Wait…maybe female can well be exempted. I surely don’t want to be labeled as a guy who likes to bully girl or act violently towards the latter. (for you information, Starhill is a grey zone area.) I know I sound pretty dramatic… but the young, hot blood in me always outmatches my rationality. Perhaps in certain situations, it is wiser sometimes to act as a Terminator rather than a Karpal Singh or a Confucius.
Not many things worth to be mentioned after that… My uncle gave his girlfriend and me a treat at the Marche restaurant… And I almost missed my plane due to the massive traffic jam along the way to Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). I think I owed my uncle much as he was the one fetching me here and there plus giving me treats occasionally. Then, a few hours later, I am back to my peaceful and boring hometown. Opps… I nearly miss this interesting part. First hug, first kiss…that I know… But, first time trapped in the elevator??? Haha… My uncle and I both have our first’s together. Lolz…Uncle’s girlfriend don’t angry ya…? This was also not what we wanted. Anyway, it was really a close one.
Sorry, just added some thingamabobs to spice things up. “Hot-N-Spicy”… Wah, my favourite leh… Anyway, it was rather funny. My uncle and I entered the lift. He pressed the button. The lift door closed in front of us… Then, there was nothing but stillness. My uncle immediately pressed the bell button and phoned to alarm his colleagues that we were trapped in the lift. Here’s the funny Cantonese conversation :
"I can feel myself floating in the air,
looking back at my freezing body and struggling to kick off the bright light at
the end of a dark tunnel."

Here’s the funny Cantonese conversation :
Uncle : Wei… Ei.. Ngo Dei Zhong Suo Ju Zoi Lift Ni Dou ar… Fai Di Wan
maintenance worker Lei Bong Ngo Dei Da Hoi la..
(Hello.. Ei.. We are trapped in the lift ar. Quickly find maintenance
worker to help us to open the lift door la.)
After 6 minutes, the elevator is operational again. My uncle made a second phone call.
Uncle : Meng Sai la... Lift Huo Yi Yok Jor.. Dang Dou Hoi Dei Lei, Wo Dou Sei
Jor la
(No need already. The lift can move already. Wait until they all come, I am also dead already.)
[A thousand apologies if my Cantonese pronunciation is not that accurate. I am trained to speak Hokkien only…but now is currently picking up Cantonese in order to survive in KL. My uncle was also like me… But now, he already has the flair in this language]
(I will never ponteng again... Huhuhu...)
Actually, that day he left the company earlier as there was not much more for him to do… He was rather free, so he planned to take me go shopping. Haha... Naughty, naughty…
Back in KT… I can just summarise myself rotting at home in 9 phases :
PHASE 1 : EAT ALL THE TIME
PHASE 2 : PLAY ALL THE TIME
PHASE 3 : WATCH MOVIE ALL THE TIME
PHASE 4 : SLEEP AT 3.00AM ALMOST EVERYDAY
PHASE 5 : GO OUT MOST OF THE TIME
PHASE 6 : OUT OF TOUCH WITH ACADEMIC BOOKS
PHASE 7 : LOST MY SENSES, FORGOTTEN ALL THE SYLLABI
PHASE 8 : STARTED TO WORRY ABOUT SEMESTER 2 ON 2/1/2007
PHASE 9 : DISCOVERED THAT BLOGGING IS NOT THAT BAD AS
WHAT I HAD THOUGHT OF EARLIER
Well, but then I think it is not a total waste… Rather meaningful… Had the opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones, strengthen my relationship with gf, meet with old friends and so on....
I heard Semester 2 studies are not easy cakes. And for the End of Semester 2 Exam, I will have no choice but to repeat all my Semester 1 syllabi. Guess that’s the price we will have to pay to become a respectful doctor. Haha... That's all for now. Next will be my new year countdown session in Kuala Terengganu. So, stay tuned ya dear friends.... :P

International Education Centre's PIC (Semester 1)
oopss... This shouldn't appear here.hehe.. :P
My Study Table
The Amazing Race (Yucks....!!!)
Me and My Study Table
Leon in Library 
Last Day in INTEC
Hi Johnson...!
Zhao Ming in Lab Coat
Charles at the Amazing Race
"Meaningful" Ko-PLN(You see how much concentration is poured out by the girls? A salute from ZhaoMing!)
Where is ZhaoMing? Well, he is apparently sleeping somewhere in the class. Kiak kiak... :P
At Bio Laboratory... Urgh...Freezing Cold 
Enjoying Ourselves at Alam Central(from left: Jeremy, me, Sun Quan and Kah Jien)
Mr. Andrew Lim with his radiant smile... Behind there is Sun Quan in his favourite pink shirt. You rocks bro!~THE EXPOSURE (Part 2)~ Harvard Medical School
First of all, I would like to apologise to all my faithful blog readers (if there is any) for this rather late posting. Five months of painful waiting is indeed intolerable. However, I have my very own reason for this shortcoming. Ahha! Excuses... Excuses... Excuses again! Alright, I admit that I am rather lazy and impatient when it comes to sitting in front of my laptop, spitting out words when my mind is totally blank and the sense of linguistic is vague. Well, it seems that I am not as enthusiastic in blog authoring as my friend, Johnson Neo Yan Ning, does. "Don't be too happy huh Yan Ning as you are not the only hardcore blogger in Malaysia." Haha... Anyway, who would want to waste their time and energy in this kind of thingamajig? :P
But, I think I am not an absolute lame blog author as I do own my readers' attention. Mr. Ang is rather interested in my previous post and he demands more info about Harvard Medical School. (Hey, I am not making this up ya... I did receive an email from him and at that moment, I was really flabbergasted as it was my first post.) Hehe, and I think I had also promised to reveal the endeavours of Johnson and me at Sunway Convention Centre.
Now, where should I begin? Right... Let's continue our story about Harvard University. On that day, there was an Aunty who seemed to be very much interested towards this university. She asked many brainstorming questions and as an addition, she had a pen and notebook to jot things down just in case that she missed any information provided by the volunteer at the booth, which I think could not be possible for someone with an inquistic mind. Don't get this wrong, okay? It is obvious that she was taking notes for her offsprings, not for herself. Anyway, this is just a mere guess. Lolz... Nothing is impossible. If what I have guessed is wrong, I will not know where to hide my face... How shameful it is to lose to a forty-year-old Aunty in terms of academic achievement.
After an eye-opening session at the Harvard booth, both of us marched towards the University of Princeton booth, I think. (sorry... can't really recall which booth it is) However, we two had had a rather embarrassing experience there. The volunteer in-charged is totally s*cks... If I were to give a feedback of her friendliness from the scale of 1 to 10, I do not think she deserve a 0.1. We queued up for almost 30 minutes just to be told by her that she did not know anything about the postgraduate courses offered. I am not trying to condemn her... But the pathetic scenario of crowd leaving her booth with a gloomy face was a solid proof of her failure to enthral the people's attention. As an addition to our humiliation, I foolishly pointed out a girl's phone number and Canada address which were on a piece of paper to Johnson and made remark about her weird name. Johnson just giggled. All of a sudden, a girl beside me said," Excuse me. That girl is me." Johnson and me had no choice but to act cool and force a 'hi' plus an 'innocent smile' to her. Haha, that's not all... Seconds after that, her friend sounded," The guys back there have waited quite long. We should give way to them first."
At this point, a point of no return I would say, I could sense that something was terribly wrong. To make things worse, Johnson 'pandai-pandai' turned his face towards the girl whom we had offended earlier. They both had a romantic face-to-face meet. And then.... "CRASH!!!"
"Not the two guys la... It is the other two guys at the back."
Oh My God!!! We really did not know where to hide our face anymore. Even Johnson, who is well-known for his 'non-paisehness', turned tomato red. 5, 4, 3,...1 Phuh... Off we fled the harzardous zone. Sighs of relief were given out once we were sure that no one noticed us anymore. Then, braving ourselves again, we went on to venture other booths suggested by Leen, a Bank Negara Malaysia scholar. Apparently, our desire to visit all the Ivy League Universities booths is not put off by the embarrassing incident earlier on.
I think Chien Chou, the founder of RECOM (REBORN COMMUNITY. A forum site that provides useful information about anything ranging from education to economy http://www.recom.org ) was also present there as a volunteer. He told us there is a package which is a combination of obtaining a Masters from Harvard Medical School and PHD from MIT. This package is indeed very amusing. However, we learnt that the cost of this package is astronomical and at least 5 years of research is needed in order to gain admission to these two universities... And then... 'TADA!' achievement which is beyond godlike is in your hands. Haha, I made it sound so easy... But in actual fact, there is only a few geniuses in Malaysia who is capable of achieving it.
Next, we follow Jei, Shwu Jing, Eu Jeen, Han Loong and his friend, Jonathan, to eat at somewhere near there. I feasted on Sarawak's Laksa, but still I think Penang's Laksa is the best. We tried to look for some entertainment at Sunway. However, due to the lack of luck and exercising prudence in balancing expenditure against Public Service Department (PSD) allowance, at the end of the day, we ended up at Xin Yan's condominium chit-chatting. Xin Yan is also a PSD scholar, but she is ten times more fortunate than us to get a condo, with elevators, tennis courts and a wonderful swimming pool, instead of a 'prison' at the Cendana hostel. In my next life, I will certainly try to apply for Canadian programme and might probably have a memorable and comfortable learning experience at Taylor's college. Hehe... I wonder if Taylor's college and PSD scholarship still exist in my next life......
My neck is aching badly now, indicating that enough rubbish has been written for my blog today. I will be going back to INTEC soon to meet my fellow buddies and embark on my Semester 2 journey without Computer Science class. Yeah!!! Hmm... Just got my Semester 1 results. Although I scored 15 points full (A A A ) for my three core subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Core Maths and Statistics), but I got 2 B's for both Computer Science and English. Huhuhu... Anyway, these two subjects were beyond my control as it depended on my lecturers whether to award me an A or not. These two lecturers of mine are really very good and knowledgeable, but I reckoned they were very strict in awarding marks. Students from other classes could obtain an A so easily while we had to slave ourselves in order to get a B or C. This is not a personal opinion, I just summarise what my friends think, especially Cheng Ing. Lolz...no offence ya Cheng Ing. However, I am rather surprised that I got an A for my Theology and Philosophy. Haha... As far as I know, Sun Quan and Johnson scored all A's... Congrates buddies!!! Well done!

Words for Thoughts ~Ve Ri Tas~
~THE EXPOSURE (Part 1)~ Harvard Medical School - "Ve Ri Tas" (TRUTH)
USA Education Exhibition in Sunway Convention Centre [SUNDAY 16/7/2006]
~PART ONE~
"Ve Ri Tas" means truth. Nothing but the truth. One of the many good things about this prestigious higher learning of institution is that it does not have any quotas for universities, races or countries. It practises a fair and square system with the 50% male and 50% female policy. "Most students here score perfect score in their examinations, but don't get too obsessed of scoring perfect marks", this is what I saw on one of their banners. Harvard students are mostly perfectionists and all-rounders. Therefore, the education system in Harvard University should well be implemented in other universities in order to give life to a "brainy-brainy" world. However, intelligence and knowledge should be managed ethically by human. Ethical attitudes are what Homo sapiens lack of nowadays and will be a great hinder to the development of a "brainy" world. A simple example is the humorous "Pinky and the Brain" cartoon. Brain power without moral constraint is simply unimaginable. Newspaper headline, "Secondary School Students Launched A Mass Nuclear Strike in Pakistan". Scenarios like this will be common and they will cost mankind more than what we can lose.
Alright, that's all for now. My Computer Science lecturer is giving a lecture, but I burrow my head in the computer monitor, typing my very first posting. Very not ethical, right? Really sorry for this contrasting action of mine and the long-winded posting which explains the importance of ethics. In the next postings, I will include my life in primary school, secondary school, International Education Centre (INTEC), future ambitions and the endeavours of Johnson Neo Yan Ning and me in Sunway Convention Centre.
For now, "Ve Ri Tas" once more!

USA Education Exhibition in Sunway Convention Centre [SUNDAY 16/7/2006]
~PART ONE~
" Oh, I got 2200 points for my SAT and I am heading to Harvard UniversityThis was what a Harvard-student-to-be said at the Harvard University booth. I think she was trying to convey the message that a good command of English is of dire importance in university applications. Well, I am an International Medical University (IMU) bound student and Harvard University is obviuosly not in its Partner Medical School (PMS) list. I will tell more about myself, or rather my history, later. For now, let's just stress on the university with the motto "Ve Ri Tas".
for my Economics in September. And, well, I just managed to obtain 8A's in
my SPM"
