I've been on a study marathon for the past few days, and it won't be stopping soon. It's a good thing there was an IC MSoc Leavers' Party the other day at Hyde Park. And what a nice and lovely day it was. (Sorry, no leavers' party photos here. Check facebook. Don't have facebook? Too bad.)
Dapat break jap from my studies. Dapat makan2, main frisbee, played some football and take loads of pictures. Heh. But I miss basketball! Wanna play, but there's no time. When was the last time I played? Early March. *Sigh*.

Semoga panjang umur murah rezeki.afternoon tea at tea palaceTea Palace is a rather posh restaurant at Notting Hill which serves, jeng jeng jeng, tea. You can choose from a wide range of tea there. Ammir, Wan Aimran, Hanafi and Imran went there for the tea. I went there to dress up actually. Heh. And to try out a new place and lepak with friends of course.
care for a cup of tea?
Here are the tea we ordered:
Ammir's: Lemon Myrtle
Grown in the coastal rainforests of eastern Australia. It has proven anti-bacterial and immune boosting qualities and gives a naturally caffeine-free, refreshing infusion with a lemon-lime taste which may be enjoyed hot or cold.
Fadhli's: Paradise Found
A magical blend of the finest black tea with pink rose petals, yellow sunflower petals and blue cornflower blossoms, with a tropical, delicately perfumed taste.
Hanafi's: Authentic White Tea
Only grown in the Fujian province of China, where the delicate buds and leaves can only be picked for a few weeks each year. White Peony is a rare authentic white tea with many buds. It has a mild, refreshing, delicately sweet taste.
Wan Aimran's: Organic Lavender Grey
Earl Grey blended with organic lavender from Provence, for a soothing, fragrant taste. A perfect tea for the evening.
Imran's: Afternoon at the Palace
A blend of single estate Darjeeling and China black teas, and has a refreshing light, aromatic taste.
Guess who's tea tasted the best? Mine la. Hehe. The rest tasted quite okay (except for Hanafi's).
wahai hanafi, sungguh ku tidak tahan mendengar kata2 mu itu
The best part wasn't the tea drinking or the food (though the food were quite good), but it was Hanafi's numerous comments. I honestly think if someone were to compile all of Hanafi's brilliant comments, it would make a great book. Here are some examples:
“Gula ni lambat betul la larut.”
“Carrot cake ni tipu la. Takde carrot pun. Ada sliced carrot kecik2 je kat atas.”
“Haih. Rosak majlis.”
Sorry la if I've misquoted you, Hanafi. Hehe.
‘nuff said.
pro evolution soccer 2008
Football is a great game. Watching and playing it is fun, especially if you have great company. And playing a football computer/video game is a lot of fun as well. I like both the Pro Evo and Fifa series of football games. Pro Evo has a very good gameplay, while Fifa has very good graphics. But if I had to choose between the two, Pro Evo would be the one for me.
The Master League in Pro Evo is excellent. We'll play a football team consisting of very sampah players and use them in the league and cup tournaments. Pear, Ammir and I created a team called Chamberlain United in the Master League. Last year, when Firdaus was here, he named it Chamberlain CF. You should be here enjoying Pro Evo 2008 with us, Fil!
The original players in our team were terrible; the likes of Giersen, Minanda, Dodo, Jaric, Ordaz, Castolo, Ruskin, Burchet, to name a few. So we had to get a couple of players with our limited budget to help our squad. I chose Park Ji Sung and Kezman. And Ji Sung has been the captain of Chamberlain United ever since. Yeah, go Park go!
Usually, 2 of us control our team. And when Ammir singgah rumah, the three of us all played. Of course, it's very frustrating when our terrible players can't pass where they're supposed to and frequently lost the ball to the opposition. So when the first transfer window opened, we bought Mexes, a big, strong defender, Coppola, a defensive midfielder, Rubén Olivera, an attacking midfielder and Exposito, a sideback. And we also loaned an experienced goalkeeper, Rüştü Reçber because Ivarov is damn bad. Since then, Olivera has been one of Ammir's favourite players. If the ball falls to Olivera and Ammir's controlling him, he would run past defenders and attempt to shoot, and most of the time it would go in. Go Olivera!
“i am very proud to be joining chamberlain united and in mr fadhli, they have a great manager”
At last, we won Division 2 and were promoted to Division 1 although there were many restarts due to some losses. Ehe. We bought new players to strengthen our squad for the new season: Kim Yong Dae, a keeper, Radoi, a central defender, Huddlestone, a midfielder and Cavenaghi, a striker. So now we had more good players to reduce our frustrations of terrible players losing the ball too easily and tiring quickly. Oh, and we also changed our jersey from white to black. From being innocent to being dark and mysterious. Heh.
We won many games, but there were also draws and losses of course and the occasional restarts. During the midseason transfer period, we bought Guardado, Rosino and Gavilán, all versatile midfielders. Now with a pretty good squad, we can challenge for the Division 1 League and Cup trophies. And in the next season, the Champions League Cup (or whatever it's called in Pro Evo 2008). Go Chamberlain United!
*This entry is dedicated to Firdaus, who I'm pretty much confident has his own Master League team right now. Any suggestions of good players to buy, UltraFil?*
For the past week, we had many guests due to various reasons: Petronas interviews, sightseeing in London and the UKEC Careers Fair plus interviews. On Sunday night, there were 15 guests sleeping at our place. That would be 21 including us! It's a good thing we're on the ground floor, or else the flat may roboh and crumble to the ground.
Our guests were of many personalities/kinds. Some were great, some were good. Some were very nice, some were just nice. Some were malu2, some were x malu. Some were talkative, some were quiet.
On Thursday, the ex-KMB guests cooked dinner for the whole house. Yes, I know, the house can't eat, but you know what I mean. Then on Friday, Adib cooked. Thanks guys! Pear and Hanafi (or was it just Pear?) made their croissant pudding for the guests. I also made a strawberry cheesecake for everyone. It's too bad that the cake bekas is small. Each person could only take a small piece. Nak buat camne kan.
I thought I would create something that resembles a full house using Photoshop. Tapi malas. So I searched for images of 'full house' instead to insert in this entry. I found photos of Full House, a late 80's and early 90's sitcom which starred the Olsen twins, and also photos of a South Korean drama, also called Full House, which I'm sure many of those my age would already know about (except me). Tapi malas jugak nak taruk. So here's the first entry without any pictures or photos. Boring.
Aargh. I have to write a report, complete a coursework and revise for my final exams. Heh.
