As I’m sitting here in the hotel lobby at the Marriot Washington DC trying to savor what is left of my time here in the United Stated, it means that the SUSI program is coming to an end. So far, I’ve seen small towns to big buildings in the cities. I’ve experience a taste of what some may call as the the American dream and I have tasted the food. It has been an amazing experience to say the least but other than the material things, I believe that the most important (which will also make me sad the most) is the people. I’m so gonna miss everyone.
What makes this experience here in the United States so special is the locals and I believe that in traveling it is the local people that will make the trip a more fulfilling one. Those that I have met should it be either our graduate mentors, our lecturers, our host family or even the local towns people, they have really gave me the opportunity to learn so much about them.
After all that is said and done, I have only one conclusion and it is that the American people are one of the nicest, most honest and strong people I have ever met.
Thank you Dr.Foster, Dr.Jackson, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Jackson, Drew, Cary, Onur, Joel, Jennifer, Dr.Brown, Emily, Selin, the Wagners and to all those who had work so ahrd to made our experience an unforgettable one.
To the people of the United States, I say this to you for I shall return…one day.

I thought that after having my exams and projects over and done with I would be free enough to relax and do anything I want during the holidays. Oh how wrong I was. I was busy running around doing menial task, getting ready for my US trip and sleep I didn’t had much time to blog about anything much and when I did had time recently the site went down due to bandwidth overload or something. The server company had to shut down my blog temporary. Still do not know what was the problem though. Works fine now.
Had a chance last weekend to do some random simple cooking with Joey. Made a simple no-baking cheesecake but since Joey was craving for some Oreo’s we made an Oreo Cheese by substituting the biscuit base with Oreo’s instead. Haven’t tried making a cheesecake before although had been observing both my mom and sis while they were making it before. It ended up pretty well actually. Tasted kinda good although we forgotten to add the vanilla essence into it while mixing. I knew I forgotten something. Decorated with some banana’s found in the kitchen and it was done in less than an hour. Its amazing what you can do with a hammer and a plastic ziplock bag in cooking.
Recipe after the jump.

Yes, I’m still alive and no I’m not dead. Clearing that up, it seems that I finally have a brief respite from my busy as hell schedule giving me enough time to give signs of life in this almost dying corpse of a blog. Its been a miserable hell this couple of months for me with the most academically demanding assignments ever. Its my (almost) final semester and doing your Final Year Project wasn’t exactly the smartest thing to do in a long time…for me at least. Dealing with both hardware and software by myself is very time consuming and with 4 subjects with its own lab assignments, assignments and projects. Its a miracle I’m still alive actually.

Damn. I would so love for this semester to end with a good bang. I’m so tired and frustrated with assignment and my Final Year Project its depressing. No time to blog for now although I have like tons of stuff to write about. In the meanwhile, enjoy this 2 pictures of flower that I took while I was up at Broga Hill.
I don’t have any other lenses other than my Sony kit lens so I don’t take nature pictures much but it turned out pretty well as long you have a steady hand or if you have a tripod handy.
GACC again this weekend at Melaka. See you there! Expect a short review on GACC soon once I get some free time.
