24

Is been a while since i last posted my last entry...today would be something random and i had been through it for the last 24 years..

Currently in Miri for holidays...why Miri? is a long story...and i love it here....i found peace and love in Miri.

To be honest, i dont really like to celebrate my own birthday...and yet i dont mind celebrating people's birthday and be part of the party. To me personally, my birthday is just another ordinary day in my life. I do not mind having no birthday cake or presents, call me weird but im fine with it.Would not want to trouble people around me, making fuss and all that for me and my birthday. There is one time i told my mum that there is no need to have a birthday cake as im not a kid anymore, besides i have something else in life that marks my important day special.  What is important is that God has given me abundant blessings in my everyday life making it possible for me to be at this age. Nor forgetting what God had done for me especially in my studies, family and friends. That is the best gift of all.

Just putting on random thoughts. Have a blessed day everyone

P/S: Is just another ordinary day in life and im cool with it :)

The quiet hero

My dad is a man that does not speak much and hes quiet in doing things as a daddy and a husband. He is the type that you could see in a typical everyday man in life. He is the hardworking type and earns for the family and speaks only when is needed and when he does...is all about respect and wondering how a quiet man like him speaks out the very best for others to listen and be fascinated by him...hes like this storyteller that has thousands of unknown stories even to be known by mum who is his soul mate @ his partner in crime of their everyday life.....

Regardless of how and who my dad is, hes always be the best dad for me...he may not be some big shot in life, he may not be some rich dude driving around big cars and lives in a big house...he is a man of principal and honor and takes his responsibilities as a dad to the fullest and pride..nothing more i can ask from my dad...hes just wonderful and great for me in my everyday life especially in my studies right now

To my dad, Happy Father's day...

Taken during my convocation, my dad does not smile in most of his picture..but on my graduation, he gave his BEST smile for the camera....thanks dad :)

P/S: And you know i can't smile without you

I made it finally...

Okay..is been a while since i last updated my blog...i was just having a lot of fun and of course i was practically busy with my convocation and Gawai is around the corner..back to my hometown and of course...a long 4 months holiday...meaning trying to get a decent part time job just to fill in my free time...

Finally i graduated officially for my degree in UiTM after 3 long years on the 18th of May 2011 on a Wednesday afternoon, the 8th session of the 74th UiTM Convocation. I was first up for my course ( relatively speaking my name in alphabetical order, A should be first)..it was one of the best moment when finally it was your turn after waiting for 792 graduates in front of me receiving their scrolls and then 793 ( my number )...it was like a dream once they had called out my name " ADRIAN CLARKE AK LIHIEN " and there i was receiving my scroll from the Pro-Chancellor.

A few pictures taken before, during and after my convocation...

 

We had the pre-convo photo session in our very own faculty studio....we had the time of our life with our robes as if we were from Hogwarts and we are part of Harry Potter and friends...(our robes were huge)

This was taken outside the convocation hall staircase before our big day...

This was taken on OUR BIG day..lining up before entering the convocation hall...group photo...

For my mum and dad :) that is all i can give back for now....

I took time going around taking pictures with other friends from other courses..it was our day to celebrate...

Top picture was with Sole and DD..this one was with Fatin :)

I know is already weeks or ages since our convocation but then again congrats to all and all the best in future undertakings...

P/S: One down..another convocation hopefully in the next future...

Pre Grade

Ok...it will be a meaningful one for me on the 18th of May 2011 as i would be graduating for the very first time in life after three years doing my degree... Happy and excited as my family are right here in Shah Alam and i get to bring them around to most of the places...

Just a sneak peak before my big day...pre-grade pictures of me and my family :)

Spot anything similar in the picture?

P/S: Is going to be a good exciting day tomorrow :)

One more week bah...

I am done with my exam the final paper and now i am free...i am always free btw..does not make any difference at all but at least there is no worries of studying and doing my notes for a while..is going to be a four months semester break for me :P

Another week to go before i will be graduating..that is next Wednesday on the 18th of May....kinda excited for it as the big day approaches as i had bought something decent for my convo. and my family would be here next week..is been a while they had not been to KL and this would be a fun and exciting event...

Anyways Happy Mother Days to my mum @ Doritha Thomas Ng...i know she will be reading my blog.. i have nothing to give you for now but just a piece of scroll later on the 18th :)

This family picture was taken last year and i really like the picture..is been a while we had a good family photo...

P/S: Happy Mother's Day :)

First time

Came back for the 10th Sarawak General Election..my first time voting in a democratic state.my first time in 3 years i was back for the study week before my exam, first time in 3 years i will be celebrating the Holy Week at home since i was in KL the whole time for Holy Week....this should be fun :)

Updates? not much....just love being in the comfort of my own house with familiar surroundings and places i had missed going to..going out for good dates with her especially ice cream dates ( thats her favorite ) and of course been reading my notes for exam and last minute final touches on my assignment before sending it over before the finals.

A few more weeks to go before I end my first semester, next month would be my convocation :) cant wait for it..totally excited and looking forward to it..

Missing friends in Kuching and in KL..:) you know you you are...disco skating date, reunion and pre-convo gathering with classmates and "makan besar" with good friends :)

P/S: Blessed Holy Week to all those celebrating :)

So what? :)

To be honest, for the past few weeks, life has been awesome especially with work, presentation and my social life. Life has been good to me and i could not wait to end my first semester as a Masters student..graduation for my Degree is just around the corner....waiting for it impatiently..:)

Lately, meeting up new people or friends in life is awesome. New friends in life means adding new colors and adventure and stories of a lifetime that definitely you would tell to your grandchildren in years to come. People start to speculate and gossip about you if you are too closed with someone out of the blues. Whats wrong in making new friends with others outside your social group? Especially if it was from the opposite gender? Can two opposite gender be good best friends and not more than that. i believe so.

(Google image)

I have nothing to hide especially in making new friends. Two important things i always put in mind when i make new friends HONESTY and SINCERITY and you will not cross the line for you know your limits..:) if i were to like her, i should had gone for her long time ago why now? why wait when theres opportunity in front of you? for i know i can see them as a good friend to laugh and share stories around.

So what is the problem here? there is no problem at all...people need to have a better view and clearer mind and head to see the whole situation in a bigger scope...do not speculate for it leads to nowhere..

P/S: When you come from different walks of life it should be an interesting friendship...

War Afternoon

Was reading some articles and searching for information on war when I decided to goggle up for the types of war in the past history...

Question ~ What are some of the examples of war..?

Answer ~ Scroll down to the picture to find out the list of war....

To my understanding of war....isn't it supposed to be THIS?

(Taken from Google)

P/S:The power of Google.....break from my reading routine :)

Classmate's Big Day

Last Saturday i went for my classmate's akad nikah in Shah Alam. One thing for sure it was a fun, exciting and interesting aspect of marriage as it was my very own classmate who was getting married. Shes the youngest in our class among 14 of us and shes the first to get married to another friend of ours....

The ceremony was simple yet sweet and meaningful.... both of them are a sweet couple :)

(Pictures maybe not that clear and in good quality..oh well just a compact camera with no wide angle lense and all the gizmos...)

The outside of the mosque...the one in white and pink kain samping is the bridgegroom @ Juon

I think is my first time stepping into a mosque...its beautiful..to me all holy place of worship are unique and beautiful

The time has arrived.....in front of everybody 

A few reflections and wisdom from the Tok Kadi ( correct me if i am wrong about this)

Thats Hana and her dad....

Signing of marriage papers

Hana...:)

Juon putting on this bracelet for Hana...

Exchanging of gifts...

You may kiss the bride..take your time but not too long :P

Mr and Mrs Juwaidi :)

Sweet couple....

Managed to get a group photo with the newly wed bride and bridegroom

Classmates who made it for the ceremony :)

Farah, Ainul, Mahiran, Hani and Me.....

This was at home and the pelamin looks awesome..simple yet eye catching...

Meeting up old friends @ Fatin who was our practical mate way back in the old company * memories that we would like to put away for good..we do laugh about it the times we had back in THAT company *

Now she said that me and Mahiran does look like siblings....i do not see which part that resembles the similarity of me and Mahiran as siblings...the glasses?

Anyways congrats to Juon and Hana...may God bless you and guide you in your newly married life...hope to see you having kids in the coming years to come...and they will be calling us your friends aunties and uncles...:)

P/S: 1 down 15 to go left of our classmates..who will be next?

I Got Fined.....

Now with people scrambling to pay their summons on the very last minute, i too joined in the line just to clear my summon as tomorrow would be the last day before they start blacklisting and knocking on your door for it..my offence? not wearing a seatbelt...last year in the month of January and i think i remembered the incident..:)

Lucky i got the discount/promotion rate of RM40, if not there goes my RM80....it took me the whole night just to access the system to find out if i got any summons...

To be honest that's my first summon in my entire driving career @ the first one in KL

On the other hand i just love my new ATM cards @ BSN and Bank Islam..new look and design..fresh concept..gor it replaced...

The BSN above looks funky and the Bank Islam looks like a credit card to me..

The old and new version of the Bank Islam ATM cards....

Is the right time to changed my cards since i will be using them for a very long time :)

Now i am waiting for my new identity card....

P/S: Remember to drive with a seatbelt and take good care of your personal cards..
