Hi from Atlanta !

Hello there all

How's things going...My apologies again for not updating this blog...I've been somewhat busy with reading...And yes what you saw is correct I was busy reading...Lecturers here like to give attention to the little little things you read half asleep therefore (I cannot belief I am saying this) I was reading my text books wide awake and grasp what the book has to say but sometimes I think that the writers of these books have some sort of a quota which they have to pass in order to get their books published...

The list of quota :-

1. The book must be long winded.
2. The book must consist of at least 1 to 2 kilogram or 2.2 to 4.4 pounds of words printed in glossy paper.
3. It must be able to turn students away whenever the first page is opened.

But anyhow as students we always ensure that we are able to avoid these casualties by creating plans to divert our attention from these torturous hell road...

By saying that I move on to my next topic :

I AM IN ATLANTA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY FRIGGIN STAY HERE IN AMERICA

Finally i got that off my "To-Do" list which is so long I can foresee a crater so big in my wallet u can spot it from Mars. If Armageddon was bad wait till you see this. But most important I have to thank this guy in the photo. His name is "Jesus" Christian Sanchez. He is Spanish and he is not GOD. But to me, I think he was GOD in disguise because he was the one who provided us with a transport to get our a$$ down to Atlanta. And the "Jesus" is a nickname I gave him because he is our savior in terms of transportation ! (No offence to everyone who is into christianity or affiliated with it somehow or somewhat)

Him driving with no eyes on the road... Trying to show off his miracles...

The German in a very very TAME car which toned down the way a German drives...

FINALLY. Atlanta City

Coca-Cola Home. This is where all the money you spent on Coke or drinks under it's brand come to...

I took this photo right before we got out of one of the many tunnels in Atlanta...pretty cool pic...

Lucas Albanesi. An Argentinian who is mad about taking video. He is video-ing me and I am photo shooting him.



OH MY GOD...The first public train service...



We paid CNN's head office a visit too...It's a pretty cool place...It has a mall inside and the office all have windows facing the inside of the building...This is where all the MAINSTREAM news is made and broadcast to the entire world... Just say 1 foul language and it would be heard by the whole wide world...LOL (Imagine that)



This is Nick. He is from Germany and HE IS NOT A BASKETBALL PLAYER although his height is somewhere 6 ft 5 in i think. I was just trying to highlight how tall he is with the "globe-holding" perspective.



The not-so-tall nick...And mind you do not let this photo fool you...They all stand more than 6ft tall...I'm the shortest around :(
(Tell my parents to change their genes because i inherited it from them...)



Best picture of the night. Blurred but look at LUCAS. He is not DEAD just stepped into the photo after the first flash...If it was not him I would really really really freak out. This is the Olympic Park which was made in 1996. Just 2 years before MALAYSIA hosted the Commonwealth Games (f.y.i).



This is Westin hotel. Looks pretty beat up from the outside because IT IS. It was hit by a friggin tornado which touched down in Atlanta City last yr. Talk about disasters...Well the building structure is okay but the windows have to be replaced because they could not find a match to the existing windows.




The restaurent and bar view in Westin Hotel !




Us dining INSIDE Westin Hotel and the Coke is only USD 2.50 OH MY GOD I did not expect it...I thought they were gonna slaughter me or something because it is on the 75th floor of the hotel and it rotates so that we get a good view of Atlanta City...Amaizing view...Im definitely going back there...(And I do not mind company from girls as well...) LOL




This is what the city of the South East looks like at night...I am so happy I went to Westin Hotel and chill out there...This view reminds me of the place I grew up in (K.L) and I long for the day I can return and see the people I left behind to persue a piece of toilet paper. As I sit there sipping my overly gassed Coke I wonder what it would be like had I not gotten this scholarship? Will I still be sitting somewhere gazing down upon the city of lights?

And with that I dedicate this photo to the people back in Malaysia. I'm not rubbing it in your face what-so-ever but more like sharing what I see and hoping one day we will be there and see it together. And the place would not really matter...(Should it be just the mamak stall or KL Tower... I'm missing y'all from the other side of the Earth !)




After being in Westin for a while we decided to take a walk in the streets and feel the vib again...But sadly the streets emmited a "not-so-friendly" aura and we decided to just chill in a pub or some sort and thus ended up in Hard Rock Cafe...Pretty awesome place tons of ppl inside talking and stuff and boy does it feel good to be in a city once more. You have no idea how quiet it is here in my campus when the weekend hits.




THE PLACE TO BE
(although HOOTERS was just next door and I really wanted to go there instead of HRC)

I guess this is it...I hope you guys like it...because...

PS : Y'all means you all in the southern accent and I am trying to annoy the Southern-ers with it...XP
