Let’s Go for a Walk; of Unity…
When I first stepped into this university, I thought I was in for hell.
The dudes & dudettes in my July 2004 (0704) batch proved me wrong.
Nobody told me there were chicks in an engineering university!
The food in UTP is crap, & the only time you can find us all in this café is when they are not serving flies…sorry, food.
& the cellphone reception in some areas here sucks balls, so we make do with what we have.
In UTP, the splendor of nature is always close to us.
So we always give back to Mother Nature, whether individually…
…or in a collaborative effort.
Close proximity between male & female is widely prohibited here…
But really, why the hell should we care?
While men learn to jump ahead of the curve…
The women strive with pose…uh, I mean poise.
But no matter how absurd some of the things we do…
Or the different engineering courses we are in, we still bond with one another in some ways…
& at the end of the day, we blend in together, naturally.
We love to check out asses…
& we are damn proud of our own asses.
Some of us never seem to gain weight…
While the rest of us, including yours truly, never seemed more prosperous.
Everyday we ascend the stairs towards lecture halls in hope of gaining a step closer to preparing ourselves for working life…
…pointing ourselves in the right direction…
…hoping to find our place in this big world.
We learn to work together as a team in pursuit of excellence…
& sometimes, it comes down to our very own selves.
It matters not our different levels of background, for there is a place for everyone.
& it’s often each one of us, the people, that make everything a little more unforgettable, memorable…
You may hate the place, but hey, you gotta love the people.

KV gives full credit to the pioneers of the entire July 04 Unity concept & movement, the photographers & the candid/skodeng photographers during the walkabout, & of course, all you July 04 UTPians, for giving KV something not only to pour words upon, but to cherish for decades to come.

Heyyy!! I L-O-V-E this post too! We really took great pictures! Thanks to our ever-enthusiastic organisers and photographers, I think this tour around UTP will definitely be remembered for years to come! Thanks Kev, for putting all these into writing! I can see you using your favourite pic of the day, the one that made you look like you’re surfing, albeit with clothes on. Haha. I want to clarify something, I did gain weight from all these years of sucky food. But of course not as obvious as Isaac la, maybe Isaac’s ass gained more weight than me as a whole. =p
I hope we can all find a place in the world for ourselves, stay united and bonded like a very stable methane molecule, be globe-trotting, high-flying successful people, and are still able to join hands and make a mark wherever we go! And, be proud of where we come from!
LOVE you all, July 04 UTPians.

Love you guys~
能与你们共度这五年的大学生涯是佩琪毕生的荣幸。。
偶尔我们很亲昵。。虽然很多时候大家都得为课业而忙。。
甚至透不过气。。真讨厌！！！
彼此的互相扶持滋润了枯竭的我们。。茁壮了我们的友谊。。
我们歌颂了情谊的真善美。。也捕捉了在校园的一点一滴。。
每一次的聚会让我们更珍惜相聚的机会。。
祝愿大家为自己的梦想而奋斗。。加油！
友谊万岁~

Kev, nice storyline to go with the pics. Hope you can do more of that and make use of many more of those pics we took. Graduation time we shall also wear this shirt! hehehe
Khai Yi, many people, unfortunately, did not turn up, including Cheryl because it was very early at that time – 8am. Haha.
