The Story

One day in 2005, four guys (Wei Wen, Ean, Aik Oui and Aik Sern) decided to participate in a singing competition. This was the first time the four of them joined forces to sing together. For some, it was their first singing competition ever. They sang Dui Mian De Nu Hai Kan Guo Lai that day. And without much practice, they got second place!
Man! The competition must have really sucked BIG TIME!!
With three girls (Winnie, Sharon and Sumin) joining them, they then subsequently decided to perform the song again. This time for their "beloved" Red Crescent Society's installation day.

They called themselves..
Wu Liao Nan Hai (and gals),
which literally translates to: 'guys with nothing better to do'.

The story began wayyy back in 2003. To some that may not a be a very long time, but due to our relatively "short" lives, it was. Anyway, some of us may have already known each other long before 2003, but it was only in 2003 that all 7 of us were fully aware of each other's existence.

We all met at our aforementioned Red Crescent Society. At that point of time, some of us were recruits, some were members, and the some were the "high and mighty" section leaders. But even though the was a variation in our rankings, being the very.. VERY few members of the same year, we just sort of stuck together.

That was the beginning of a long, and I would say.. lasting friendship. Recess was spent hanging out together. weekends were spent chatting in the First Aid room. Life was good.

After graduating from secondary school, time spent as a group plummeted significantly. The twins went off to Australia for studies. And the rest of us went to separate colleges. Despite the circumstances, we kept in touch and were ever so looking forward to the biannual gathering at the twins place. Ahh, the company.

Now, all of us has completed college. Many of us moved overseas for further studies. The twins remained in Melbourne. Winnie left for Canberra, and Wei Wen left for New Zealand. The rest still have their foot firmly grounded on Malaysian soil. We are all forced to patiently wait for year end to come, when the now customary pool parties start again.

This site serves as a memory to our friendship and also to help keep each other updated with the on-goings of our lives. With luck, this bond will last for many years to come.

So I lost a PS3...

... and I gained another PS3! Only slimmer.

How my heart hurts for the lost of my Phat PS3; and how my heart rejoice for my new Slim PS3.

Oh dear Phat PS3, I will always remember the hours and hours of gameplay I spent with you. I still remember the day we first met; it wasn't easy, but we pulled through.

Dear, o' dearest sweet Phat PS3, I also remember the day I let you go. You hit my knee with your Phat exterior, causing a bruise to my knee. But I forgive dear for my hands were slippery.

Oh the dreaded day came when I was too careless, too selfish. On your most vulnerable time I exposed you to danger, and it was never the same again. I needed to redeem myself. You do not deserve me for your HDMI port was fried. You are no longer HD!

But time has passed and we gotta move on, I'm letting you go for Slim PS3. It's a guy thing, you wouldn't understand. Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure you'll find someone else one day. When that day comes, I hope you'll have memorable times with the new special one.

To my ol' Phat PS3 with great sentimental value.
