What a load of load… what am I saying?

A few weeks ago I was baffled over the preparation of my department for the Proton Tech Week. Alhamdulillah, with assistance from fellow representatives and God’s blessings, things turned out better than expected. In the end, everyone had put their best foot forward and as thousands agree, the program achieved its objectives.

Not so good was Aoi-chan acting up during the preparation stage. After spending countless hours (plus some hard earned and loaned cash), she’s back on track… literally. After fixing her up, I attended one of Sepang’s track day session. And my God, was Sepang great. I had only been there thrice (one for HPC event, other two for a free entrance session for the A1GP and something else), and haven’t been around the track in full. Now I can agree with people that it has to be one of the best track in the world… just ask Michael Schumacher.

After all that, I just gotta get some rest. Which I did take, just a couple of days ago. And what better way was it for me to relax than a short blast up and down some good mountain roads. This time; Fraser’s Hill. Surprisingly, the roads were well maintained (the connecting roads, the one-way road at the hill was faultlessly maintained) and dare I say, more ‘interesting’ than the ones at Cameron Highlands. The only precaution; make sure to fill up at any petrol station (yes, any!) you find on the way there. There’s basically nowhere to fill up once you reach the peak. Apart from this little crazy adventure, the remaining hours of the holidays were spent on sleep and sketching stuff.

And so, what better way to restart my normal work life than getting news on my next assignment. The venue; UK. Yep, UK as in United Kigdomland (as Jeremy Clarkson put it). The only drawback? My convo is smack right in the middle of the assignment period. After some discussion with my parents and advice from colleagues, I decided to take chance and just go on with the assignment. The reason? SECRET. Guess that those of you who are expecting to see me in person during the convo can just dream on… sad isn’t it? However, as a consolation to both you and me, Hassan RXZ will be bringing Aoi-chan to the ceremony. Assume Aoi-chan as my representative. If you have flowers to give me, you can just pass it to her. You are permitted to take pics with her as a momento of my absence… (isk, isk, iskk…)

Well got nothing else to put here, all the related pics should be below, with the usual tasteless captions. In any case;

HAPPY CONVOCATION TO ALL MEMBERS OF G13 FROM THE KULLIYYAH OF ENGINEERING AND OTHER IIUM STUDENTS WHO’LL BE HAVING THEIR CONVO THIS TIME AS WELL!!!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING AND SORRY THAT I COULDN’T MAKE IT
