Long But Productive Day

Ive just returned from bayswater in central london..thats where the Malaysian Students Department is....they haf alot of functions related to Malaysian students held there.......ive recently been appointed the publicity oficer for the UEL Malaysian Society so i wen to bayswater for the UKEC agm...was a really long and draggy agm with many issues involved and the election of new president and exco members.....UKEC(United Kingdon Executive Council) is a coalition of Malaysian societies in UK and Ireland....it works closely with the Malaysian students department and international students ofice in the UK to promote the interests of the Malaysian students in UK be it acedemic or employment wise..... its also a good place to meet Malaysians from all over UK....meaning its the perfect networking environment for the future...mostly realy smart and future professionals are the heads of the individual societies.....Kings col, Imperial, Lse, Warwick just to name a few....i don usually join stuff like this, but recently my perspectives and objectives in life have changed....if u asked me to join a club or society 3 years back, i'd laugh at u and ask u if u were that desperate for frens .....well thats wen i was young and naive.....after being thru so many obstacles just to come to UK, my outlook on things around me haf changed considerably....ive learnt to focus more on my priorities and the ppl that matter to me....ive learnt to be more tolerant and patient, which is actually fantastic improvement compared with my past...i guess mebe its bcos ppl here are generally more polite and practice public conscious...so its sumthin good that im pickin up i guess....to cut things short the agm lasted 4 hrs....its a good thing they subsidised the members travel expenses an we had free Malaysian dinner!...good stuff...theres this canteen below the Malaysian Hall an it serves halal malay food...nasi lemak, malay rice, fried kuey teow and all sorts of Malaysian food....really fantastic!....all free!..woohoo....but i think i'll be needin the toilet bowl soon....actually the highlight of the evening was wen i walked out of the canteen....right across the road was the grey silhouette of the ultimate driving machine!....the BMW M3 CSL !!! 360bhp 3.2 litre straight 6 monster!!!...now ive seen some really awesome cars in my short lifetime and ive been lucky to be able to test drive some of them....but just looking at the CSL for the first time in my life was unbelievable...if ur a car enthusiast u'll understand how i feel...as far as i know there arent any CSL's back home.....i actually didnt believe it was a CSL until i inspected the GT style air intake below the headlamps....just awesome!....the owner wasnt satisfied wit the original rims and replaced them with a fantastic set of 19in BBS rims.....just kinda guy who knows how to show off in style and elegance....oh i also inspected a nearby Porshe GT3RS....will full racing bodykit and rollcage inside....nice ride as well but not as perfectly crafted as the CSL....well wat can i say, my day turned out pretty good at the end....if i didnt haf the free car show i think id be too lazy to type all this down....so thats it fer today....zzzz
