This post is specially made for Steve Jobs, my idol. 

Frankly speaking, I couldn't accept the fact that you are gone. I really like the way you think and inspire others to think differently. And the way you promote Apple is totally different from any other companies which eventually make Apple one of the most leading company in the world. You have different way of expanding your business. 

Steve Jobs,

Thank you for your inventions, iPod, iPad, iPhone, Macbook and etc. 

I am deeply thankful that I am able to use your inventions. It is indeed one of the best gadget in the world. 

I remembered the first day I work in an Apple store and I watch every single of your video when I was in work. I remembered how you used to show off cool features in iPod touch, iPhone and your story truly inspire me. You are truly creative and innovative. 

These are several favorite pictures that I found on Yahoo!

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

This time, things are really different compare to last time. I don't know why!
Maybe it's because I am leaving soon or I fell in love in this beautiful place already.
Peoples here are really nice and especially the weather!

Sadly, this is gonna be my last semester as I am leaving soon to prepare for my mission.
Since it's my last semester, I am taking some of my major classes which is gonna be a lot harder than usual.

List of classes 

• CIS 100 - Fundamental IS and Technology
• CIS 101 - Beginning programming
• Math 110A - College Algebra Part A
• Math 110B - College Algebra Part B
• IT 240 - Fundamental web design
• Religion 122 - Book of mormon II 

Anyway it's not really a good choice to take major class this early because you might get stressed out easily and most of the time you would feel so frustrated because it's so difficult that you couldn't understand. Computer science is a crazy and difficult major but it's so fun if you love computer.

Frankly speaking, this is the first time in my life I feel so scare to face my day. I have no idea what is ahead of me but every time when I think of it, my heart never stops beating. Sometimes I even choose to avoid thinking what is coming and ended up not finishing some of my assignments or even not prepared for the quiz or exam. However, I manage to come out with a solution soon enough to overcome my problems. In order to be prepared and do better next time, I make sure I am ready for what is coming. For instance, I need to make sure I am not nervous or scare of what is coming. Seriously I am so grateful for my Beats Studio! Because of it, I generate a new hobby and it is one of the way I release my stress. I would lie on my bed with my headphone on and listen to the musics. I would ended up feeling a lot better! Also I do not feel regret for spending so much money on this headphone. This thing save me from troubles. Another way is that I would stay in the bathroom under the hot water and stop thinking for awhile. I would stay under the water as long as I can. And I will feel so refreshed after doing that! Perhaps I should try swimming someday?

After all that stuff, what is waiting for me is my piled up assignments! Normally I do not do my assignments in the afternoon. I do my assignments every night. Another thing is that I make sure I have enough energy to work and do my assignments at night. I sleep every day in the afternoon to make sure I have sufficient energy to work and do my assignments at night. This way, I will not feel so tired and are ready to face what is coming.

This is the first time I celebrate my birthday abroad with friends all over the country.
At first, I was kinda surprised well not really surprised cox I know that these guys are planning something.

It all started on Sunday, September 18, 2011 where we have Gospel Forum. I didn't expect they would come out with such surprise. We were all listening to the professor talking and then few of my Korean friends came in and I know there is something wrong but I wasn't paying too much attention that time. When the gospel forum ended, suddenly they showed me a video made by my Korean friends. It was so funny and I was watching with my sister, suddenly they turned off the light again which totally caught me off. This time, with fire on the candles and them singing Happy birthday to me. This was on Sunday.

On Tuesday, September 20, 2011, I had my day off and I wasn't working that time. Guess what I was doing on my birthday? I was sleeping. This time, it was really my first time in my entire life being so blur. I lost my wallet and I found it back (Lucky me) I forgot it was my birthday (I thought it was other date).

I am a very simple guy. I don't ask more for my birthday and I know my friends will come out with something. I will not complain or dislike whatever they do. I will just appreciate and thank them. And once again, thank you everyone!  The best gift I had is not expensive presents or whatever. It is that thing that I cannot but it anywhere else with a price. It is the power of friendship and it is priceless.

To Beatrice if you happen to read this,
I knew your surprise a week before my birthday. How do I know? Well, Eddy forgot to signed out his Facebook account on my iPod and I happen to read the message that you sent out to everyone. I was talking to myself, why would Beatrice send me such message if it is a surprise for me. So I left a comment, remember I said I would be the first one to record the movie? And I ended up with "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA". That is so my style and Eddy wouldn't do that. And moment after posting the comment I notice that it wasn't my profile picture but Eddy's profile picture. So I told Eddy that I accidentally read the surprise party message. Guess what he told me? He told me to pretend to be surprised. I was laughing so hard that time. Anyway, thank you so much beatrice. You know I think I like you!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Just kidding! :) (That's secret between me and her)

This is the first time I celebrate Malaysia Independence Day in a foreign country, so we actually came out with a plan to cycle to Kahuku to have some shrimp for our dinner. The map below actually show you how far it is. Well, since we are cycling, it is so much faster and its only 19minutes ride.

Source: Google Map

MALAYSIA BOLEH! 

MALAYSIA BOLEH AGAIN! 

On our way to Kahuku. 

Thats my bike. Its a pretty cool bike :D 

We saw some students pulling down Malaysia flag so we decided to take picture with it. We just won't stop taking picture and its gonna take forever to reach Kahuku. 

FINALLY we are making our move now!

YB Samantha on the move escorted by Celeste and me. 

Our shinning bikes. 

I look so happy, I don't know why.  

Posting again. My sister is being so patriotic on that day, she just won't stop salute. 

I guess they really hate me that they really wanted to hit me so badly. 

We finish eating and we cycled back to campus. Actually we planned to go to the beach

but one of our friends needs to finish his painting for the following exhibition that he has. So, 

we ended up going back to the campus. 

Moment ago, I was holding her hand to let her demonstrate some
Aikido and I ended up landing on the ground. My leg hit the water pumper
thingy and I was laughing. 

This is what Malaysians normally do, they stand there and look at you.
What the heckkk!! I was laughing and shouting for help.
Can't blame them for not able to differentiate am I playing or serious. 

Thats what I got for messing with Korean Aikido. They ended up using alcohol
to clean my wound. Thank you so much! :)  

Guess it wasn't a good day for me. 

Anyway, Malaysians in Hawaii wish Malaysia Happy Independence Day!!

This is the date I officially declare end of the First Term and I am officially done with my finals.
Looking at the calendar reminds me that I'd been away from home for 9 months already. This is the
first time I'd been away from home for so long. I can't really describe what is my feeling now but I am definitely feeling enthusiastic.

Looking back really reminds me how determined I am in going through all the difficulties and trials.
I am really really grateful for the friends I have here for guiding me and showing me the right path.
In my entire life, I never felt so determined before. For instance, I think I am a left brain thinker because
I love math and I love cracking my head finding for solution. And this term, I can really see how hard I work to get good grades. This is the first time I work so hard for good grades. I really see changes in me. I wanna be smart, creative and most important I wanna be different and think differently from ordinary people. I think I start to love studying and enjoy studying. I gain knowledge every time I study. I need more knowledge. Next semester would be my last semester, I promise I definitely gonna give it all to get good grades.

On the other hand, when it comes to work, my manager or supervisors always has high hope on me. Maybe because I am a hard workers or they love working with me. I have no idea. Well, I never know in a blink of an eye, I'd been working in this restaurant for 9 months and every things seems to past very fast.
I learnt a lot working with different peoples from different countries. I used to get pissed off in things really easy when they don't do it in my way and I would treat them as my enemy if they don't do it my way. I learnt that, my goal is not to make more enemies but to make more friends to expand my connection. Thus, I start to treat people I think that were my enemies into my friends. And that is really fun because non of them are the one that you dislike.

Three months from now I am heading back to Malaysia. I remembered one year back, I was waiting to come to Hawaii but now I am going back to Malaysia.

And for now, time to enjoy my break and work hard again.

Thank you so much friends for being there all the time.

Dear Malaysia,

Happy 54th Independence Day!
Frankly speaking, after all that had happened in Malaysia, I am still proud of being a Malaysia.
For me, Malaysia is my lovely country home and it has the best food around the world.
And I still love my country no matter what happen to the government!

Sincerely,
Kelvin Tan

I have to say that it was an unlucky day because it rained for 5minutes 

and stopped for 5minutes and rained for another 5minutes and it goes on. 

I tried to utilize my newly made in Malaysia umbrella and it couldn't 

withstand the strong wind and broke. 

I'd been always thinking of going hiking and swimming in the waterfall. 

This time, we're going to Waimea Valley! And it's free admission for all 

of us because we are either BYUH students/ PCC employees. 

Malaysians heading to Waimea Valley. 

On our way to Waimea Valley.

One of a beautiful scenery in Waimea Valley. 

All of us. 

We, the guys have decided to take on the waterfall by staying under it.

Each of us has to do it and this is my first attempt in trying to conquer

the waterfall. It was really hard because the water is pushing me away

and I have to admit I swallowed quite a lot of water which really taste good.

Me in the middle conquering the waterfall by staying under it.
It's still not good enough. 

We came back up to have some snacks because it was really tiring
conquering the waterfall.

This is my second attempt in trying to conquer the waterfall. 

This time I came up with a strategy which is to swim to the big

rock beside the waterfall and take a rest before conquering the 

waterfall again. It is really a good strategy because I am able to 

regain all my strength and stamina. Then I have to give all I have 

by swimming super fast to hold on the rock and to stand under

the waterfall. This time the current was so strong compare to the 

previous current. We have no idea what is happening but I am pretty

sure this time I drank more water than before and I almost couldn't 

breathe. At that very moment, I was thinking am I gonna die? And

what is gonna happen if I am dead? And I don't wanna let go the rock 

I hold onto. So I try my very best and with all my strength.

I hurt my finger so badly but it was all worth it because in the end

I CONQUER THE WATERFALL BY STANDING UNDER IT!

It was 3 - 5 minutes struggling I think cox I took pretty long time to conquer it.

Regaining all my stamina and strength. 

Me swimming directly to the waterfall. 

This time trying to stand up under the waterfall.

I made it!!! That's me standing under the waterfall.

It really feel good staying under the waterfall and the current was so strong
that my pants nearly got off.

Everything feels good! 

GROUP PICTURE TIME

First group picture ruined by this Old Man. I decided to shoot him instead. 

We stood on the spot first and were about to take picture. This
uncle came and and sat there. Anyway, it still look good.

So, we decided to move to another stone.

With the surroundings I think this is pretty good especially the waterfall. 

Looking at beautiful sexy gorgeous lady. Just kidding! :D

Can't believe I still can do this. 

One more time! This time with the waterfall. 

My sister feeding me with her favorite ROCKY. 

Me doing some crazy stuff! And my sister doing silly stuff.

Right angle.

Center angle.

Left angle.

Continuous shot.

This spot kinda look like a spot in every detective movie. So I decided to make up a story. 

There is a cruel murderer taking nap on a bench and this little girl wake the cruel murderer up by letting off the bag and
that bag seriously drop on my face.

Look, I wasn't planning to smile. I am suppose to be angry because someone wake me up from my beautiful nap.

Here's me trying to sneak n kill someone who sat on my lovely bench. 

And I decided to use Jet Li's kick to kick this woman for running the mood and scenery.

We're leaving already :) 

Final shot from a Japanese Aunty. Aligato gozaimasu! 

Next Stop: Banzai Sushi

Tempure with rice, my favorite!

Accidentally got shot with the tempura.

Last stop at a Homemade Ice-cream store. Have you ever tried waffle cone ice cream? This is seriously my first time.
It was so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
