Super GT Championship Malaysia 2010

I was online surfing when Chris came into my room asking me if I wanted to watch a car race at Sepang. Since I had never been there, of course I said yes.

It was around three weeks ago when I first went to Sepang to witness a car race. It was not Formula1 but instead, it was GT Race, with cooler cars and hot Japanese chicks, the Race Queens. Okay, I’m straight. It was just fun to see those guys drooling over those girls whom they can see and only imagine shagging them.

The day we went was not the day of the main race and therefore, the place was not as packed as I imagined.

I may not be a person who fancy cars but trust me, I did enjoy though Chris was gone with his cousin for video recording and professional photo shooting of the event.

The race was entertaining though I did not understand how it work and boy, my ears sure hurt.

Now the fun part is here where girls could just stand back and watch how these guys surrounding hot Japanese chicks with cameras clicking away! Couldn’t see any hot chick in the picture? Of course! Those chicks were surrounded! Some dudes hesitated to put their arms around the girls while some were really aggressive to stop the girls to move away in order to capture pictures with them.

Taylor’s University College Lakeside Campus

That morning, SJ and May brought me around SS15 and later, Taylor’s new campus. Interestingly enough a lot had changed in SS15. Allegro Cafe and Lynn’s, those two places are gone. Coming back to this place put me into an awkward situation and I believe most of you know the reasons. Anyway, moving on to this infamous money-sucker institution’s new campus.

To be honest, I was amazed and I wish I were one of the students here. This place is huge and you have everything within the campus. There are a lot of cool vendor machines as well as cafes. There’s a huge food court at the bottom of the building. Also, you will get to meet different people from different programmes. Unfortunately, I prefer our old lecture theatres that are more comfortable not to attend the lectures but, to sleep.

One of my favourite places in this campus is the library. I really love the library. However, I don’t think I would be able to concentrate to study in this most comfortable place in the campus. And I guess it’s more like a place for people to socialise rather than study.

 

However, this campus is yet to be perfect. The view is not as beautiful as shown in the video or model. The water is dirty and I believe the lake with no fountain or whatsoever, it’s gonna smell and there will be a lot mosquitoes flying around, attacking the students here.

Also, the staircase is ugly and the walls are not painted. I guess Taylor’s was in a rush to start running this campus.

With this big investment on the campus, there’s no doubt that the tuition fees have increased and will keep increasing. Also, students would not be able to get cheap and nice food in this new place. I’m fortunate that I left the place earlier.

Goodbye Shanghai!

I left Shanghai a couple of weeks ago. Had been staying at one of my close friend’s for 19 days. And why was I back earlier than planned? There are a number of reasons to that.

First thing first, my legality status in China. Few months ago, an guy called the company and asked for me. Apparently, it’s an officer from the police station. After a number of questions, he then asked me to go to the police station the next day to have a little chat.

I would not forget this entire incident that befell me. I went to the police station with a Taiwanese colleague of mine. We knew what to say and what not to say. However, we were told to bring our other colleagues to the police station the next day.

We thought things would turn out alright after but who knows, problem came after a week.

It was then when they called us back again that we should go back to the police station to sign a statement and also, pay a fine of 500 yuan. On the other side, the company had to pay a fine of 20,000 yuan. Not only that, we were not allowed to continue working with our current visa and had to apply for a proper work visa. And to apply a work visa, one had to leave the country, in our case, at our own expense.

Plus, it ain’t easy to apply for a work visa. A lot of documentation as well as much time, effort and money are needed. Therefore, since my contract is ending in two months’ time, and I do not wish to continue working in Shanghai, I decided to come back to Malaysia.

Unfortunately, shits never stopped coming. It was like my final test to see how much I have grown in Shanghai. Since I could not get a tourist visa in China as well, in just one day, no, one afternoon to be exact, I had to change my flight and all my existing contracts. Supposedly, I would be flying back at the end of June but due to some complicated reasons, at that moment of time, I had to fly back in a week’s time.

So here I am, back in Malaysia, greeted by Milo Ais at BRJ Mamak on the night I landed.

Welcome back, me.
