The Lasallian Legacy

Us Xaverians are a bunch of loyal, unique, crazy in a good way, brilliant in someway type of people. All thanks to the beautiful heritage of our school. Being called a Xaverian is a pride that I'll carry throughout my life and I believe the same goes for my fellow brothers and sisters as well. Even the name we identified ourselves with is uber cool. So cool I could almost hear myself saying, I'm Xaverian, I'm here to conquer the world! As I spent my teenage years within the walls of St. Xavier, I've discovered the many hidden treasures that this school possess waiting to be unearth by every little mischievous student. One of the most precious ones that I've found would be sincere friendship. There's so much to say but I believe a single entry in this blog can't justify the immense feeling that I have for my school. Therefore, this entry would be dedicated solely to the people who have made proper education possible in this side of the world, the ones that have been selflessly offering themselves for a purpose much bigger than their personal glory and to one of the last of Lasallian's living heritage, Brother Paul Ho...




I giggled like a little schoolgirl watching Bro. Paul being interviewed in the first two videos lol... The last video however carries an important message which is for us to continue safeguarding whatever that's left to preserve our school's rich heritage. For that, a big thank you to St Francis Xavier and the Lasallian brothers especially you Brother Paul. Farewell.

The Happiest Day Of The Year

Posted by Ivan Lee On 8:20 AM 0 comments
Well, that's according to what I heard from FLY.FM. A mathematician supposedly came up with an equation which indicated that today was the most blissful day of 2009. Personally, I would say that today was full of joy, better than yesterday but hopefully not as good as tomorrow :) We celebrated "family day" today. It was an annual function that Hilton organized to foster tighter relations amongst the team member or whatever lah... The point is, I had fun! I managed to skip work because of this event. One thing though, it wasn't really as happening as I thought it would be. After a while, the event headed towards a monotonous mood. There wasn't many people attending when compared the ratio of the workers in the hotel. So where the heck did the fun came from you asked? After participating in a few activities, me and some of the other trainees decided to have our very own little excursions. Oh shoot! I forgot to mentioned the venue. It's held in the Lake Garden at KL. I would highly recommend this place for urbanites who are looking for some peacefully time away from the city, although technically it's situated in the city which means that you are fooling yourself if you are there to get away from the city. Get it? You do? I don't. 


The entrance...

Jogger's path...

Some waterfall landscape...

Okay... continue on. First I suggested that we visit the deer farm since it was just a stone throw away from the place of the event hence our journey began... 

They somehow looked like dogs to me lol, just that their ears are much more pointy

Such a dreamy gaze...

Whoops.. camho alert! So cute can? Pouting it's non-existent lips

After our obsessions with deer was over, we walked around , had some ice cream then walked back to our event site. That's when we saw the tram. It only cost us RM 0.50 cents for a short ride. So cheap, we went for a second round lol... There was still some time to kill after our second ride so we decided to be more adventurous and try something new... we rented a 'sampan'. However, before we could even get into it, we were "advised" by the caretaker to use the peddle boat instead. Oh well, at least I got to peddle away some unwanted thigh fats. 


Started off with greetings from Mr & Mrs. Swan


Passed by Mr. Hobbit's humble abode

 Alas, the fortress of desolate

All in all, I must say that the lake garden is very well maintained. Kudos to those who are in charged. It does not only provides a place to retreat for the public, it also generates economic benefits from renting it's facilities. N0w that's sustainability. At least I got to chill out after a traumatizing day before where I spent over nine hundred ringgit to service my car and buy a new adaptor.


Noticed that I managed to get online several times when my adaptor was faulty? Well, I pushed the limit and that's what happened.

Power Failure

Posted by Ivan Lee On 7:51 AM 0 comments
No, the world is not getting dark. It's my laptop adaptor. Stupid faulty wires! I got slightly more than half an hour before my life support gets cut off. So I'll just update you guys briefly on my life since the last entry. Time is passing real fast. So damn fast that I just realized that I have only 3 more weeks to go before I officially complete my internship. I still haven't type a single word for my report and I've yet to give out most of the evaluation forms to the respective managers in the various departments that I've trained at. Come to think of it, I've yet to do a lot of necessary things such as tidying my room, wash my dirty laundries, scout for jobs a.k.a. future plans but most importantly, I've yet to come out with a plan for my self-proclaimed 1 month holiday! Anyway, NCH managed to drop by KL during the weekend and we caught up with Alan as well. This time around, we did something spontaneous after a few rounds of crazy suggestions on what to do because we have kind of, or at least I've, gotten bored at shopping malls at the moment. Initially we met at Mid Valley, ate at Manhattan and then had some "light snacks". To cut the story short, we then proceeded to Food Garden and that's where we decided to pay a visit to the "royal chamber" in Serdang, after my plan on going to Cameron, Genting and Malacca was deemed "siao" by the friends. Oh God, 16 minutes left. Continue on, nothing is ever complete without food (knowing me, knowing you uh huh...) so we went scouting for hawker food. The meal was decent but made great with even greater company. Then we drop the "royal highness" before proceeding on our journey back without a proper road guide. I guess luck was by my side, again. That's about it. Goodbye my friends. Goodbye world.

I Scream For Ice Cream

Posted by Ivan Lee On 2:36 PM 2 comments
Dad came down to KL on Saturday after a long break. As usual, he'll tend to his own business while I go to work. Then at night we'll probably have some short "pillow talk" before I advance to dreamland. So on the night of his arrival, he hinted that we should go try out "the japanese restaurant that I mentioned earlier when I was back in Penang", which is Tenji. without much delay, I whipped out my lappie and proceed to click on the Google Earth icon. What? I don't have a GPS okay... So this would be the more economical solution for someone who has no sense of direction. For those of you who are trying to use Google Earth to navigate your way around town, be warned! If you are a person with no sense of direction then you should at least have a high sense of intuition or you'll end up some where in Jinjang. I have none of the above, I just got lucky. What you see on the screen could differ tremendously when it comes to the real thing especially with those pesky clouds that appears at random spots in the map causing some "blind spots".


We decided to make a move on Monday despite me telling my dad that we could potentially end up in Ipoh haha.. Nevertheless, I conquered Mont Kiara! or rather just Solaris Mont Kiara.


The food was okay I guess, I was more impressed with their selection of beverages which included free flow Sweet Thai imported coconuts (I had 6 or 7 of them), juices, sodas, various assortment of tea and coffee. The dessert counter was oh la la... but I was already filled to the brim. Didn't bother to take a lot of pictures as my hands were busy transporting food to my mouth hehe...


One of the "highlights" was the fresh oysters which has a sign besides it that says 'beware of food poisoning'. Oh what a convenient. So if a customer really got food poisoning and report it to the authority, are they gonna use the classic 'I told you so' as a defense. Duh! Besides that, they have cod fish, crab, lamb, beef.... basically, it's like a farm. Period. I think I'm game for another visit like real soon. *hint hint* Reason is because they are having a promotion for weekdays lunch session where they only charge RM 39.90++ !!! Promotion last until end of June ONLY ya... Adding to that, they also serve free flow Haagen Dazs which I didn't get to eat much because there was only a little left as I was reluctant to get some earlier due to the fact that I already had a pint of BR on the 31st...

My favorite combo of sinful indulgence, C n' PB with Old Fashion Butter Pecan.

Goodness, I'm becoming a slut for ice cream...
