Unfamiliar Friend Visits Unfamiliar Island

2011-05-28T01:28:00.001+08:00

An update is better than no update :P Here it is a replacement of the cockroach post before this :D It was mid-semester break and I've been somewhat dragged along into a trip (I'm a replacement for someone who ffked my friend). The day before the trip to Pulau Tioman, we depart to Melaka first as it would be nearer for us to leave from this place. Since we have a friend who came from South Africa, we need to go through the ritual of being a tourist in Melaka:

What else? Satay celup!!

and Jonker Walk.. he got himself some Alien vs Predators figurines and an Angry Bird slippers -.-"

Next, to the fountain!

This is my first time taking this scene using my GF1 xD The quality is wayyyyyy better!

Melaka is getting brightly lit every single time I return..

The next morning, I think we departed around 8AM and thanks to my mad driving skills, we managed to catch the 11.30AM ferry to the island. Our first stop, a random stall opposite the jetty to fill our stomachs xD

Then we took the free shuttle bus provided by Berjaya to their resort

This is what we are supposed to stay in but..

We got upgraded to the golf club resort due to some technicalities..

The comfortable bed that I slept for 3 nights xD

The view from the balcony

The toilet in the bathroom

The bathtub in the bathroom which I didn't use it at all.. I used the shower in the toilet =.=

The goodies at this sink replenish everyday :D

The slippers that I almost wear out several times -.-"

Room number..

Took a walk on the beach and realized that it is so freaking CLEAN and BLUE!

Chillaxing beside the beach with a bottle of beer..

Tough luck to see the sunset on the horizon

First night, we had dinner outside the resort.. the restaurant name is Chinese Seafood Restaurant.. how vague =.=

Chicken of not niceness!

The abysmal vegetable!

The almost tasteless squid!

The bland crab!

I think the best dish in this restaurant is this grilled fish.. Others IMHO SUCKS!!!

After dinner we played pool..

Look at the stars! Well.. you must see it with your own eyes.. picture can't capture everything :D

The next day, we went snorkeling.. it's my first time snorkeling and after a few hours in the water I feel a little seasick LOL!!

You can clearly see the fishes from above!!

Just look at how clean the water is!!!

Our mode of transportation..

They even have this big statue here in this island.. are they trying to copy the eagle statue in Langkawi?

After snorkeling, we chillax again at the Berjaya beach.. with coke instead of beer this time :D

I think I got no fate with sunset over the horizon..

2nd night and dinner this time at Chinese Sarang Seafood.. such odd name..

My verdict about this place? It is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the one we had on the first night. However, it is quite troublesome to get here from the resort as it is not conveniently located outside the resort like the restaurant we had on the first night but need to get through the hill before entering the Berjaya resort..

Pool again after dinner!

Next day, we went for an excursion in the island in a truck like when I was in Sungai Lembing.. Please don't comment anything about the pants.. it's not mine to begin with..

First stop, Juara beach.. this beach is not as nice as Berjaya's beach.. but it's kinda funny here as we witness some Brazilians quarreling over football game every minute they play.. I think they spend more time quarreling than playing football haha..

Next stop, Juara turtle centre!!

WOOT! I actually touched a life turtle =D

The hatchery..

The baby turtle is so darn cute!!

Our third stop, some waterfall.. I almost lose my sunglasses here :\

Like Sungai Lembing, the tyre decided to puncture..

But we made it to the final stop which is.. snorkeling again at the marine park -.-"

I'm sort of suffering from sea sick still so I decided to explore the other side of the hill next to the snorkeling area.. It was such a nice place!

As always.. no sunset beyond the horizon... ARGH! managed to take some nice photos though..

I wonder what this is for.. they pump sea water for us to bath and drink ar? LOL!

Decided to explore more of this place.. I wonder who lives up there..

I make this picture extra big so you can read the legend..

Such spooky golf area..

Last night here and we decided to splurge~ buffet time! I ate freaking lot of lamb chop, satay, etc.. I think that explains the high uric acid in my body -.-"

I took this by accident? I think? See that lady there.. she must have stuffed herself too much ROFLMAO!!

Final day here.. had breakfast in a Malay restaurant outside the resort.. and a group picture after that!

We went to feed the fishes again and after that we checked out and return back to where we belong~

Well the journey doesn't end there.. I tagged along going to Batu Caves since I never been there before haha..

I can climb the place without any problem but somehow after reaching the top I started to feel weird and I rested awhile before continuing on into the cave..

There are monkeys everywhere!!

Poor tourist can't eat their ice cream in peace LOL!

Salute this woman climbing up with high heels!!

Dark Cave tour..

That is how deep it goes..

As you know.. caves.. -.-"

Nothing much to see but still gained some knowledge as there's a guide explaining stuffs to us..

Peace out!

Truth

2011-04-18T18:01:00.004+08:00

Friendship is a very complicated thing. IMHO, making friends is difficult especially when you're an introvert. I'm definitely an introvert but if you been around me for before, you will find that I doesn't suit as an introvert at all. If you learn psychology before, this might be the mask I'm wearing when socializing. I find it very hard to know new people and when I do, it's hard to maintain a good friendship or be a better and closer friend. If you were in my shoes, you definitely know this feeling. Along this journey called life, I've known many people - some are true great friends, and some might just be a bad apple. I'm writing this now to say:

I'M SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A LOUSY FRIEND!

Sorry for not keeping in touch as I really don't know how to maintain a great friendship. I don't know what to talk with you anymore & how to talk to you. I'm so bad at talking with other people. So please bear with my insufficiency. Not that I no longer want to be your friend, but I don't know how to be your friend. I'm not trying to abuse the "sorry" word but I am now apologizing from the depths of my heart. Sorry..

Signature Scent

2011-03-15T05:42:00.001+08:00

It's been a very long time since the last update in this blog. It's sad that this blog has been abandoned for such a long time. It seems that I've lost the enthusiasm to blog. It's not about time perhaps age. Enough of blabbering - I'm here to update and yes to express my perspective towards certain things that came to my mind.

Fragrances. Do you use it? Why yes or no? Perfume? Cologne? Does it matter so much? Well, in my opinion it does matter. Some probably that it smell so fake, not natural and what not. Well I got to disagree with this. I rather smell something which is pleasing than those of filth pungent odor kind of smell. However, it all depends on the perspective of people. Everyone have different thoughts so it is hard to come into a conclusion.

So far, I bought only two different fragrances in my life. The first was Sean John's Unforgivable. This perfume smells extremely masculine (of woodiness). After 2 years of having this fragrance, I realize that it is definitely not my scent. It took me almost 4 years to finish up the whole bottle. This is when I realize that fragrances can reflect your personality. If you really like the scent of the fragrance, you will want to put it on everyday.

Hence goes my second purchase Davidoff's Silver Shadow Altitude. This cologne smells really me ME! xD Initially, I don't want to tell anyone what fragrance I was using but since some found out and got themselves one, it's no point of hiding it. Anyway, I left less than half a bottle and I know what to get next so I don't mind actually. I'm the kind of person which seeks for distinction when it comes to things like this. In marketing terms, I'm categorized in the need for uniqueness group. This cologne has given me a signature smell. Whenever my friends smell it, it reminds them of me or in other words, it smell of ME!

Well, aside from giving you a signature scent, fragrances can do lots of wonders. For example, it can enhance making out sessions (only applicable to certain type of people and depending on the fragrance used). Think about it, perhaps you can easily be turned down my unpleasant smell like sweat or body odor? If you smell nice, the more your partner would want you?

Other than that, fragrances can attract people. If you smell nice, people wouldn't mind to stand with you longer. Imagine that you as a guy which is all sweaty and you want to tackle a girl. Will she stay and talk to you or she will walk away? Be my guest, most girls will walk away as they wouldn't want to experience such unpleasant smell. However, there is a small percentage that girls would be attracted to such rawness of a man. Hence, it is important nowadays to enhance your physical appearances.

Nevertheless, it is also said that fragrances can enhance the wearer's confidence. Without any unpleasant sweat or body odor smell, one can be more confident. Fragrances also resembles class. Well, I can say that fragrances don't come cheap especially the nice smelling ones. I don't know how but some people can just tell the smell of your fragrance is cheap or expensive. I think it's a little quite true. Just by smelling those fragrances that you can get from the counter of the convenient store you can tell that it doesn't smell expensive/exquisite. A good example would be my own sister which I bought her a gift pack from L'Occitane which includes of a small fragrance bottle. She told me that it smells "expensive". Therefore, I can say that fragrances can also represent class.

Well I don't know why I'm throwing all out my thoughts about fragrances but yeah. It's good to have fragrances in life. It makes you more pleasant (but I personally don't like super concentrated perfume smell as it gives me a heck of headache - applying too much of fragrances is another different thing!) Let's see what I will babble in the next post :P 'till then~

Journey to Northwest Malaysia

2011-01-01T01:11:00.000+08:00

Summer 2007, 2008, and now, 2010. I always visit Penang at this time of the year. This time, I went there again with these people:

All of us are taking summer course.

Sadly, the days we spent in Penang was mostly cloudy.

Our first stop when arrived in here was the place that we are staying in, Cozy Home Inn. This place offers rooms at quite a considerably cheap price for us to put a night or two in.

The inn provide almost everything that you will need during your stay like Wifi, TV, and etc. The only complain I had was the blanket they provided. Apparently, the blanket was quite thin, not enough to keep me warm at night (tried setting the air-cond temperature high but it got stuffy so just left it on medium).

After checking into the inn, we headed out for dinner. Since I've been to this place before I wanted to have it again. So we went here, Weld Quay (Tree Shade) Seafood Restaurant.

This salad prawn is pricey but it's worth the money because it is awesome!

I'm not a fan of this but I can say it tasted quite nice too!

Their fried Yar Char Kwai is not bad too.. I just got to love fried stuff =X

Their soft shell crab is also delicious! Can never have enough of it xD

Sadly, among all the dishes we ordered, this fish tasted most mediocre. Overall, it was a very fulfilling meal the first meal we had in Penang :) Later, we went for supper in New Lane. Apparently, there are many food stalls here. We didn't know what is nice here so we just simply ordered:

and all of these tasted..

~~like this!~~ mediocre! I can say nothing is nice here IMHO!

After supper, we went to experience some night life in Penang. We went to this place in super casual clothing - slippers and shorts! If we were in KL we definitely can't enter such places already =X

After having a little drink, we head back to the inn to recharge ourselves for the next day's activities.

Morning comes and our breakfast is no other than the Penang famous char koay teow. We went to Ah Leng's because the other one that we wanted to go haven't open yet.

This plate of Char Koay Teow costs RM9.50 if I wasn't mistaken. I didn't set high expectation on this so it tasted above average. Others who set high expectation for this definitely say its not that nice.

However, they prefer this Hokkien Mee at this place. They said it is nice but for me it's so-so only maybe because I'm not a fan of it and tasted way better ones.

Our next stop is again the Char Koay Teow place that we originally wanted to try.

This one costs RM9. For me it's just another Char Koay Teow which tasted above average but this time others say it is nicer than the first one we went.

Our next activity is trekking to Pantai Kerachut.

The pathway to the beach wasn't that bad. If you ask me it's some sort like climbing Mount Kinabalu but easier a little.

After around an hour plus trekking, we finally reach our destination.

It's quite a nice beach actually. Very clean!

Apparently, most of us have no energy to trek back so luckily we managed to get a ride back in a boat. After that we find food to eat to regain back our energy. Unfortunately, I didn't take much picture after that so I'll skip what we had for dinner.

The next morning we went to buy those Penang biscuit.

And then we went to Island Glades and have this Chee Cheong Fun.

It was superb! The downside is eating too much will make you feel sick of it. So control yourselves peeps if you were to eat this!

We headed to Kek Lok Si after that to ~~camwhore~~ take a look at the new Guan Yin statue.

Right after that, we head down and to eat this famous asam laksa which I think is so-so only. ~~Nyonya Laksa FTW!~~

Then we head to this place to try the famous Cendol.

We had a consensus that the Cendol here wasn't that nice =X

Since that Cendol doesn't suit our taste-buds, we go for another better dessert. We left Penang after this dessert and head on to Ipoh to visit..

this little kid :P That's all for this post as I'm lazy to type anymore today xD

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Part 4: Denouement in Kota Kinabalu

2010-12-20T00:48:00.002+08:00

27 November 2010

It was our last day in Sabah before we fly back to West Malaysia. So far, Sabah has been one of the greatest experience in my life especially Via Ferrata.

I got up around 8.30AM to eat breakfast and my roommate was still asleep that time. The buffet breakfast was until 10AM and since we arrived quite late, we just took as much as we can when it's 5 minutes to 10AM xD My verdict for Palace Hotel's food? Bland! TOTALLY BLAND! Everything was almost tasteless for me.

Fortunately, I didn't stuff myself to the max in the morning because we went to this place for an early lunch. If you can't see the wordings, the shop is called Kedai Kopi Melanian 3.

The food they serve was the BOMB! It was one of the tastiest pork ball I've ever tasted. This definitely made up for the bland breakfast buffet.

Then, we went to the Filipino market to do some shopping.

This place is so cramped and not suitable for tall people like me.

Such a cute way for Digi to advertise themselves!

Next stop, the Sabah Museum.

We took a whole lot of pictures here =D

And this is our last stop before we head on to the airport. We decided to grab something light before going on to the beach. This is the first time I've ever eaten satay kambing (mutton satay)!

And here we are looking at the sunset again but it wasn't as beautiful as the one in Pulau Tiga. After finish camwhoring and such, we head to the airport.

We arrived back in LCCT quite late thanks to the delay cause of a double booked seat BOO! Anyway, that's all for my trip to Sabah. Love the experience gained there :)

Part 3: Conquering Mount Kinabalu

2010-12-15T00:52:00.006+08:00

25 November 2010

Morning comes and it's time for us to leave our rooms and climb the mountain.

Before that, we had our simple breakfast. The omelette was fantastic! We were given our lunch boxes to carry along the climb.

We then head off to the office to get our passes to climb the mountain. Without this card, one shall not pass the gate to climb the mountain!

So here we are at the Timpohon gate. We started climbing around 8.10AM.

It sounds quite tough to climb this mountain at first but actually it's quite easy. There are steps and pathway for you to climb up.

At every shelter, they have a tank of untreated water for you to refill your bottle. It's up to you whether or not you will drink this water cause some people get stomach ache after drinking it.

This walking stick is like a gift from heaven! It helps a lot in climbing up to Laban Rata.

I arrived in Laban Rata around 12.40PM. It took me around 4 hours 30 minutes to reach here from the bottom. They said an average person takes 6 hours. Another thing that motivated me to climb faster is because of the Via Ferrata briefing that we must attend.

Whee.. I think my socks play a role for not getting me any blisters =D

It was like heaven up here. I really can't believe a person like me who don't regularly exercise and don't do sports can reach up here this fast. Must thank the walking stick, isotonic drink and energy bars! :D

After paying RM400 at the bottom of the mountain for this activity, of course I wouldn't want to miss the briefing and this pushes me to climb faster xD They have two Via Ferrata routes - one long (Guinness World Record) and one short. Obviously I took the short one since I'm afraid of heights and I still don't know why am I doing this -.-"

It was around 10 degrees Celsius. It's rainy season so the temperature drop to the lowest at this time of the year.

After the briefing, we went back to Laban Rata to have our early dinner.

It was getting darker and..

..the temperature fell to 6 degree Celsius!

This is where we put an evening at. The Gunting Ladagan Hut is located at the entrance of the gate to climb to the peak of the mountain. Since its quite a climb from Laban Rata, some decided to stay here and skip supper before the climb to the peak.

This is roughly how the room looks like. The bathroom and toilet are shared so it's a little disgusting as some people never flush the toilet. Also, there's no hot water to bath in unless you boil your own hot water! Cause of this, many don't want to take a bath. I showered in iced water! It's super cold, super refreshing and super energizing! LOL!

26 November 2010

Got up as early as 1.30AM and went for supper. The temperature fell to 4 degrees Celsius. Thank goodness I'm all geared up for this! I don't feel cold at all. We began hiking up to the peak around 2.30AM.

The air was getting thinner and thinner. I constantly stopped to catch my breath. It was getting brighter and I know I'm going to miss the sunrise before I reach the peak.

However, as I gaze at the side where the sun rises, I can see the sunrise was blocked by a bunch of clouds. Sad but then I decided to slowly make my way to the top since I didn't miss anything.

No matter how hard it was, I pushed myself to the top and I made it! Thanks to the person who took this picture but I don't know why I'm not at the center of the picture LOL!

It was a magnificent and spectacular and majestic and fantastic view up here!! Too bad I have not much time to enjoy it as I have to leave for Via Ferrata.

Since I was afraid of heights, my two guides tried to persuade me not to do it. I almost give up on doing this due to their persuasion but thinking that I'm already there, I might as well just do it!

I was placed near the trainer cause I'm afraid of heights and he is always there motivate me that I can do it. I like him for that! Hahaha.. I pushed myself down. Lucky enough for me, there are mist around so I cant really see the bottom. The mist clears up later and that is when I sort of get used to do it. I make it out ALIVE! YAY! What an achievement for myself! =)

I wanna thank my trainer very much for constantly motivating me saying that I can do it hahaha.. the stupid small helmet make me look fat -_-" and I don't understand why can't people take a photo of me being in the middle of the picture?!

After that, we went down and had our quick lunch and started going down the mountain. It was devastating for me cause I hurt my toenails. It was so painful I walk damn slow. I was the last and my shoes aren't helping either.

My guides told me if I were to go down at this rate, until evening also we won't reach the bottom. So one of them offered me his sandals to wear while he wear his spare one. It looked quite funny on me but I don't care cause I can walk faster and less painfully. I overtook some who came down earlier than me. We had a quick meal after reaching the bottom while waiting for the rest to come down from the mountain.

We were then transported to our next stay at the Palace Hotel by our agent. I forgot to take picture of the room but I can say that the toilet was unpleasant as they did not clean it properly. Without showering, some of us quickly changed and went for dinner at this place as you can see in the picture above.

Our guide specifically brought us to this restaurant in this place - Hua Hing Seafood Restaurant.

I think some of them went crazy and ordered all of these -.-" RM34 per person which I think is expensive. I find the cooking here so-so only. I'm quite fussy with my food so don't blame me. I think I ate better and nicer ones in West Malaysia =P

This big prawn (I think its a tiger prawn) cost RM18! I could order another full plate of normal prawns with this. I'm not the ~~stupid~~ person who ordered this.

After our sumptuous dinner, we head back to the hotel. I went for a foot massage and it was kinda horrid for me cause of my toenails. The massage helps my lower leg but my upper part still feeling the strains and whatnot from the climb. ~~I don't like the place too cause it's kind of prostitute-like place.~~ Story to be continued! =D

Disclaimer: Below are my few tips to give an idea to people who want to climb up Gunung Kinabalu.

Climbing Mount KK Survival Tips

NOTE: Before climbing up at all, make sure your toe nails are short! I wore an Adidas shoes which protected my heel and didnt get any blisters BUT my toe nails which grew a bit longer from the week before I started travelling around got injured. It crippled me when getting down the mountain but luckily I exchanged shoes with my guide which is softer and less impact to my toe. Hence, CUT YOUR TOE NAILS!!

Checklist:

1. Light clothing. I wore sportswear up the mountain which easily absorb and disperse sweat. Cotton absorbs sweat making you feel uncomfortable yet heavier.

2. Camera. May it be a normal digital camera or a DSLR, make sure you have enough battery because cold will reduce battery life.

3. Do not carry heavy backpack. Towels are provided up in the mountain but there are no heater meaning that you will have to bath cold ice water unless you boil your own water and bath. If you really need to carry loads of stuff, just hire a porter which will also be your guide up.

4. Walking stick. It helps a lot.

5. Proper shoes. May it be Kampung Adidas or authentic Adidas, make sure it has a good grip and comfortable to wear.

6. Energy bars and isotonic drinks. They said an average person takes 6 hours to reach Laban Rata but it took me 4 hours 30 minutes to reach Laban Rata. I don't play sports and hardly do any exercise. At every shelter, I will eat up my energy bar and drink isotonic drink.

7. Raincoat. In case it rains, put it on.

8. Waterproof bags. Store your electronics and wallet in here in case it rains. I got myself Ziploc to store my camera and phone.

9. Muscle Rubs. Apply this before climbing to prevent any muscle strains.

10. Aspirins (e.g. Panadol). Take aspirins before climbing up the mountain and before going to the peak as a precaution in case your body can't handle altitude change. Altitude sickness is horrible and you don't want to mess with it.

Going to the Peak

11. Torchlight. If possible get the one which you can strap around your head.

It was 4 degrees when I started climbing up. These will keep yourself warm:

12. Beanie. Keep your ear and head warm.

13. Gloves. It is very important to keep your hands warm! I wore winter gloves which kept me warm but it is not suitable for Via Ferrata

14. Socks. Get winter socks or just wear 2 layers if you cant stand cold.

15. Windbreaker. Inside the windbreaker, I wore a tshirt and another sweater. I'm always warm and no problem of coldness.

Additional stuffs:
- Hydration Salt (Keep yourself hydrated! I almost got dehydrated because I left my drinks with the porter which is far behind from me when I'm going down the mountain)
- Mosquito repellent (I dont have any problems with mosquitoes even though I didnt apply it)
- Sunblock (I didn't use mine at all but if you have sensitive skin, might as well use it).

P.S.: There might be stuffs that I missed out. So don't rely too much on this!

Part 2: Going Around Pulau Tiga

2010-12-10T00:38:00.002+08:00

24 November 2010

Continuing from previous post. We spent the night in Pulau Tiga Resort. Quite a nice place to be except for those who can't bath without hot water xD

Morning comes. I didn't even bother to wake up to see the sunrise because it was at the other side of the island.

Had my simple English breakfast. Then everybody gathered around 9AM for our activities.

We decided to jungle trek before going for the mud volcano bath.

It's kind of a short trek - around 5KM.

The best part is that we are not dressed for jungle trekking but for the mud volcano bath. Luckily I brought my Crocs slippers which is more comfortable to walk in =D

We trekked all the way to the different types of beaches they have in this island - rocky, sandy & muddy.

After exploring the island for a bit, we hurried to the mud volcano shelter as we have not much time left until our next destination in Sabah.

Tadaa! This is the mud volcano area! It was so disgusting but a great experience! You can float in the mud and its kinda difficult to navigate around but once you get used to it, it will be quite fun. Getting out from the pool of mud is another different story -_-" It was so slippery and heavy that it takes quite an effort for me to get out from it.

After having enough of mud, we trek back to the resort barefooted! This is because it is too slippery for us to wear our slippers. Fortunately we have a guide to carry our stuffs. And this is what we looked like after bathing in the mud!

After cleaning up, hurried to the ferry to head on our next destination which is our main objective of this trip - conquering Mount Kinabalu!!

My white Crocs became yellowish brown color. Sad but I'm glad I brought it cause it protect my foot a lot =D

This photo's color is more realistic (taken from my phone). We quickly head off to Kota Kinabalu and there goes another 2 dreadful hours in the uncomfortable seat in the van.

All of us did super last minute shopping for shoes and what not. It consumed a lot of time until we almost missed out buffet dinner at the restaurant at the foot of Mount Kinabalu.

Miraculously, we arrived at the restaurant in time for our dinner. This is all thanks to the driver =D

Luckily there's quite some food left for us. The nice cook grilled extra meat for us. Grilled lamb! Wheeee my favorite!! =D

We went back to our room after the dinner. Four sharing room. Thank goodness I was partnered with Victor which I have no problem with at all. Apparently, the other side faces lots of problem which I don't care LOL!

They provide us with towels and basic toiletries including lotion! LOL! I don't know why lotion.. what is it for?! The shower was mad. The water at first was the craziest thing ever! It was so hot until you can boil an egg in it. I'm not so stupid to bath in such boiling water. I waited until it cools off a little and starting having my warm and sometimes cold bath -_-" After that, lights out for me and those hyperactive people go play some card games. To be continued.. =P

Part 1: A Trip to Sabah

2010-12-07T02:12:00.001+08:00

23 November 2010

It was the day when I need to take an early flight to Sabah. It's been a long time since I've travel through air. I stayed over at Pei Yee's place for the night and both of us left by a taxi to LCCT at 4AM. It was a tiring night because we just got back to Subang the day before.

It was a splendid flight I can say. No turbulence or such. We arrived at the airport and got picked up by the agent that we signed up for. They used up two vans because our luggage was too huge to fit in one van together with us of course. Since some of us did not bring enough cash, one van leave for breakfast while the other to the bank before breakfast. Me, of course, went to the bank xD

After withdrawing some cash, we headed to our breakfast place. Without knowing what's my breakfast going to be, we arrived at this place called Kuo Man. Looking at the amount of customers they have, I reckon its one of the famous places to dine in.

They have a choice of fish or beef for their soup and I selected the fish cause I don't take beef. They serve other stuff too no? I can't really remember because I'm still so blur at that time.

After finishing our breakfast, we have a few more hours to kill cause our ferry to some island was at 3PM. Hence, our guide suggest us to go to the zoo to watch some live performances by the animals and here we are, Lok Kawi Wildlife Park!

Their first performance is by this orang utan. I was chosen by that trainer in the picture because I'm wearing a super RED t-shirt saying "Will you love me?" with a dog picture. What nonsense! Note to self: wear black to be less prominent! And yes, I need to compete with the orang utan to peel the coconut husk. ~~I hate this orang utan cause I lose to it in this match!~~

They have other performances and they let the audiences to touch this ~~deadly~~ snake. After the performance, we still have some time and we decided to walk around the park.

The first thing we stumbled across is the sunbears ~~having the time of their lives having sex in broad daylight in front of kids~~! It was amusing looking at them as they walk around while they're at it =P I recorded it using my phone which last for 7 minutes and note that they have been doing that before we arrive here. That male sunbear's stamina is good LOL!

After finishing a quick around the wildlife park, we depart to our next destination, Teluk Penyu's jetty to Pulau Tiga. It's around 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu and this is the time most of us took a nap. I didn't sleep at all cause I had sucky uncomfortable seats so I just close my eyes and try to relax.

After 2 hours plus of horrendous ride, we finally arrived at the jetty. Once we arrived there, we have approximately 5 minutes to repack our huge luggage into our small backpack for a night stay in Pulau Tiga. FYI, I have still no idea what is on that island except the mud volcano bath.

It was pretty sunny on that day. Most of my pictures are in blue tone thanks to the reflection of the clear blue sky I guess. In reality, things are not as blue. The water was clear and greenish the last I could remember.

Roughly after 25 minutes ride on the boat, we arrived at the island. As you can see from the picture above, it's named Survivor Island for some reason. Do you watch the Survivor series? Their season one was here, in this island!

This island has been commodified. The resort was a nice place to be but if I'm not mistaken, it cost RM700+ for a night stay in the resort. Apparently, you need some contacts to get it at a more reasonable price.

They welcomed us with a glass of cordial for each of us. Then we were briefed about the island and the activities that we can do here.

After having our tea, we headed back to our rooms and then have our own leisure time. As you can see our chalets' exterior design was rather traditional in a way.

However, once you entered, the interior was more like simplified modern kind of design.

The toilet also never failed me. I was expecting a worse toilet than this due to the remoteness of the island!

During our leisure time, we can choose to do a various kind of activities that you usually can find at a beach (banana boat, snorkling, etc).

Instead of those activities, I chose to rest, relax and ~~camwhore~~ take pictures! =P

After that, I went to the pier to wait for the sunset. While at it, some others was snorkeling and playing volleyball.

It was a spectacular scenery. I straightaway fell in love with the island after witnessing one of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in my life!

I continued to ~~camwhore~~ take pictures after the sun sets into the horizon. As you can see, my method of ~~camwhoring~~ taking picture is different from most people will do :P

Enough of taking pictures *ehm*.. back to the resort for dinner!

These are basically the food that they serve. I didn't take the beef and I'm quite unhappy they served that but they serve CRAB! That diminishes all my dissatisfaction and hooray CRAB!! I was happy cause I haven't eat crab for quite some time. The food was so-so.

After dinner, I straight went to bed and slept for the night as I was too exhausted. Others played games and talked till 2AM I guess. I find this post quite lengthy so I'm going to stop here for now. To be continued! :D

Lost?..

2010-11-25T02:22:00.010+08:00

There must be one certain day that you will feel as if you're lost.. especially in a crossroad.. When it comes to me, I will drive with no sense of direction..

Driving clears off my head sometimes..

Apart from that, I can learn new roads..

Explore new places..

..and apparently, you will find your way back in the end of the road..

Just think positive and you will find your way back no matter what happened.. Never give up hope and especially your life! :)

My Nonsense xD

2010-11-18T23:51:00.000+08:00

I'm like trying to keep my body fit to climb the mountain but..

..I can't help it but to eat even its a ridiculous mediocre buffet xD

especially this... UGH! :( I need a Superman to fly me up now xP

Accumulation..

2010-11-14T00:12:00.000+08:00

These are the accumulation that I have made for less than a year..

It's a box of Oreo and no, its not Oreo inside.. take a look at it a bit closer..

It's.. sachets of chili and tomato sauces!

OMG! Look at how many I've collected xD and I don't plan to continue collecting it..

I found a nice bag to go with it..It looks like someone will be receiving a special gift from me! =X

Tainted..

2010-11-07T01:21:00.012+08:00

Once tainted, it remains tainted.. You can't change a thing.. Unpleasantly dirty.. You can wash the dirt out of a car but you can't wash a scratch out of it..

The car looks clean from this picture but it's actually freaking dirty! Its too dirty until I need to send it for a car wash again.. I was pleased with their service so I went back there again.. SS14 Mobil Station car wash that it..

Thoughts..

2010-11-03T21:28:00.000+08:00

I've been thinking a hell lot lately.. What would our future be? Even though its not my final semester yet, I've been thinking of what would I do the next time. Will I stuck in an office all day long doing boring work that I do not enjoy? Or will I stuck doing outdoor job that require me to do sales which I really hated it? There is no such thing as a perfect job for first timer so I'm very worried. Then I came to think life a teenager or a student. Many teenagers complaint that their life are miserable. Well, they don't know about responsibilities yet. As we grow up, we will realize that we will have more responsibilities in our hands. Hence, I just realized how stupid I was. Taking everything for granted. I'm now already missing the moments that I shared with my friends in the university. I missed those moment. The good news for now is that I'm still a student and have another another semester. I will definitely cherish all the time that I have left. =)

Me Want Soba..

2010-10-31T00:16:00.000+08:00

I needed good Japanese soba noodle.. Friend wanted to try Rakuzen.. Hence, arrived in Rakuzen.. see the prices and I immediately choose their unagi instead of soba.. and you what? It was superb! Their unagi was the best I've ever tasted!! However..

I find it weird to drink with this clay cup.. very odd.. very clay-feeling >.< unique in a way.. Meh.. still craving for soba.. went to Sakae another day.. order their cha soba and.. it SUCKS! I will never go Sakae for soba anymore.. just for their other stuff like their rice box thing xD Anyway... SOBA!!!!

Misery..

2010-10-29T18:00:00.002+08:00

At times when I needed her the most, she failed me.. died leaving me in agony.. in solemnity.. It was the day, the only day that I have time to study my for my worst nightmare, International Financial Management, and she let me down down down down down.. down...........

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

I think I developed a phobia towards IFM. I failed once and the fear keeps creeping in. To begin with.. I'm not good with numbers!! The night before the exam, I was trembling, shaken by the deadly aura of IFM! God! Please let me pass this paper! I made a vow to be a vegetarian for a month if I pass this subject!! I really hope I do..

Thank goodness I had the Mini.. No, not the Mini Cornetto but HP Mini. I'm so glad that I had it as a spare.. It really saved my sorry ass.. I hate and love you at the same time =X

I'm having a very tough luck.. Once I've decided to purchase a phone that I've long awaited for, it has to go out of stock for the color that I wanted.. I tried different places but it just have to be out of stock.. It's fate.. It is testing my patience and testing my faith over this particular phone.. Nevertheless, I will embrace myself and make it through the rain! xD

Monash Ball 2010 at One World Hotel

2010-09-20T22:18:00.005+08:00

It was 17 September 2010. The theme for this year's Monash Ball is Première. It was supposedly be very grand and of high-class but it was kinda a let down for the theme. The story..

These are the 3 people I picked up to go to One World Hotel which is located next to One Utama. We were too hungry until we got ourselves McDonalds before we leave Subang xD Everyone was staring at them (probably at their outfit) when they entered McDonalds LOL!

Here we are.. outside the ballroom. Seriously we thought that we are late but actually we are not.. They said they going to close the door at 7.30PM but they didn't.. We arrived there around 7.45ishPM cause of the slow moving traffic along the LDP.. Seriously, I don't know what the organizing committee was thinking.. Why the hell they picked this hotel? It is so inaccessible from Sunway and the jam is mad crazy on peak hours to go there from Sunway..

Here is our "ticket"! It looked very glamorous.. Sorry for the bad image quality cause I took this from my phone's camera :P

After registering ourselves, we will get stamped on the hand.. I hated this cause it took sometime to wear off..

Inside the ballroom.. the light keep glowing and changing and it was so hard for me to take pictures =_="

The table setting..

Itinerary of the event.. Since they started quite late, I think they rushed everything until it wasn't so pleasant for me ;\

This is the menu.. can't read it? Let me read for you:

Appetizer: Caesar Salad AKA the best of all THREE dishes for the night

Main Course: Roasted Stuffed Chicken Breast with Pistachio, Garlic Mashed Potato and Seasonal Garden Vegetable served with Fresh Herb Sauce AKA PATHETIC HARD-AND-DRY-CHICKEN!!

Dessert: Strawberry Mousse AKA WE WANT MORE FOOD! I felt VERY disappointed over what is served that night. What the crap?! Pay RM80 to eat THREE not-so-gourmet and not-so-filling FOOD?! Last year's one in Sunway resort serve more than this!!

This is the emcee for the night.. Can't see him? Here:

Yes! He is the Disney channel dude, Jien. Look at those lucky girls who got to take a picture with him. Luckily I didn't take a picture with him cause I bet many other girls hated them already LOL! Jien was a funny and sarcastic emcee xD

These people are the company I had for the night. Thanks to them I don't think the event was that disappointing =X

The dance floor is open with super horrid loud music.. I thought this will be high-class event as the name Première suggest so but I don't understand why would they make it all into a concert-like thing -.-" Play sentimental music so people can dance waltz or etc!!The organizing committee just destroyed the grandeur of the theme.. EPIC FAIL IMHO!! (even though they played some sentimental music, the dance floor wasn't open or not that I know of when it opened)

The event ended quite late.. 11PM+ almost 12PM and many people was rushing for afterparty.. Many went to Zouk in KL (I seriously don't know what they going to do with less than 2 hours in Zouk [taking into account the time they travel there]).. Hence, my group went to the nearest - The Sanctuary at The Curve!

Look who was there!! A lecturer with a "Dr" title.. =P You probably can't see his face cause its blurred and I won't mention names here xD

That's all for now folks.. cheers! =)

Music Deep Within

2010-09-16T01:11:00.001+08:00

Have you ever encounter the feeling when you listen to a song, and it reminds you of a specific moment in your life? It occurs to me most of the time..

This song reminds me of my childhood when I was still living with my godmother.. Sometimes, listening to this song will bring me back to the past, a picture will appear in my head, and rarely, a sensation of being there..

This one.. reminds me when I was in lower secondary school.. Almost every single time I was in the car heading to the tuition center, this song will always play in the radio..

& this.. reminds me when I first enter Taylor's College.. first time leaving my home and living by my own..

This song reminds me when I almost finish studying in Taylor's.. sitting there on my table playing online games.. xD

This reminds me when I was in the condo when I was in my first year in Monash..

This one reminds me when I was travelling around in Penang..

This one still fresh in my mind.. it reminds me when I was doing intern in a company in Midvalley..

There are still many songs and I just can't describe it all.. Why is this happening? Why the past in embedded in music? Why why why.. I'm curious yet confused..

Missing!?!

2010-09-13T00:59:00.001+08:00

Out of the blues..

I miss going on to office on weekends to work..

I miss one of the craziest person I ever met during work..

I miss the hilarious colleagues at work..

I miss waiting in long queues for food during the one hour break at work..

I miss driving on the slow moving traffic at night after work..

..and last but not least, I miss drinking ARABIC MINT TEA & the lepak-ing sessions until 4-5AM after work!!

Sometimes, don't we all just miss the past?

International Ecotourism Seminar Presentation 2010

2010-09-08T02:01:00.003+08:00

I felt bad.. bad for not helping my group mates enough.. bad for not being able to present anything on that day.. bad for winning something that I didn't contribute much to.. Why.. Why am I so bad? Seriously, this is the part of my life where I felt tons of responsibilities start bombarding to me. No doubt about it, I've learned many things and gained new experiences. Being part of the committee for 30 Hours Famine, Leo Club, & MEMS as well as a student, I'm slowly learning to juggle between tasks. However, I failed to juggle at times. A good example would be this: I didn't give adequate attention to this presentation. I felt like I've neglected my studies. Aside from this subject, I rarely spend some time to read on the overly thick and complicated reader for my GND subject. How I wished that life was a little bit easier, humans never sleep and there is more than 24 hours in a day. Meh.. emo-ing =\ Okayyy.. *ignore those bad feelings* here are some pictures that is taken from N82 during that day (darn phone is getting obsolete and the image produced is so sucky)

These are my group members. Are we cool or what? Hahaha...

Here are the two Japanese members that my group worked with.. All I can say about those Japanese is that they are so good in posing for pictures xD

The one on the left is the Japanese student's lecturer.

Our group won RM30 Starbucks vouchers!!

One of the Japanese dude that we collaborate with gave us each one of these pens. OMG a souvenir from Japan! =D I felt bad for not returning anything back to them ;\

I think that's about it for now. I can't thank enough for my groupmates for this! I promise I will do better next time *finger crossed* >.<"

"Thousand Layered Cake"

2010-09-05T13:57:00.002+08:00

Many who asked me where to find this "Thousand Layered Cake" in Melaka. To be honest, I've NEVER heard of it before they've asked me. I'm more like a Subang people now since I spent most of my time here and I rarely go back to Melaka. Hence, after more than 2 months+ in Subang, I decided to head back to Melaka. Coincidently, my sister was back from Johor, and to make things simpler for me, I've asked her about this "Thousand Layered Cake". After, giving some description of it that I got from my friends who asked me about it, she finally recognized it and showed me exactly where the shop is located.

Nadeje, located in Dataran Pahlawan at the same level to the field, near Old Town White Coffee, sells this cake (if I'm not mistaken there have another shop in Mahkota Parade). According to my sister, the shop owner is a Japanese who learned French cooking and created the crepe cake (pardon me if this information is false cause I can't recall properly).

Tadaa!! Urm.. someone took a huge bite before I could take any pictures of it >.<

Apparently, "Thousand Layered Cake" is just a nickname for this cake. It is actually Crepe Cake as you can see there are many layers of crepe (sorry for the bad picture quality, didn't bring back GF1).

I tasted 4 different flavors of the crepe cakes: Original, Chocolate Banana, Chocolate, & Mango Yogurt. I like Mango Yogurt the most. It was the cake of the day and it is slightly more expensive than the others (normal RM8+, mango yogurt RM9+). My verdict of this cake? It is distinct but overall, tasted mediocre. Why? I think it depends on individuals. I have sweet-tooth so I have a thing for sweet stuff. So for me, it didn't really meet my sweet-expectations. However, my grandma, who prefer less sweet stuff, like it. In conclusion, this crepe cake is a new, unique & distinctive (I bet there will be copy-cats by the next few years) thing to try out. I'm not promoting this but hey, just try it! It's a new experience :D You can feel those layered part when you eat it xD

Current State

2010-08-29T15:28:00.002+08:00

Lately, I'm so freaking busy until I got no time to do my own personal stuff (that includes blogging). Today, I finally find some time to chillax (that is after a very long long time.. two months I could say. Yet, the nightmare isn't over yet. Since I'm so freaking busy, I got no time to wash my car and it is getting dirtier and dirtier until after a month without bathing it, I finally decided to send it for a car wash.

Everytime I passed through the roundabout in the evening, there are lots of cars washing in this ESSO station in SS14. I decided to send my car there thinking that they really do it clean and fast...

As I go there, I drove into this shelter and the people start spraying water and cleaning the outer part of my car. I was listening to the radio while enjoying my aircond while they're at it. Somehow, when they are washing the car, I feel so calm.. so.. therapeutic..... xD

After that, I drove to the corner and they start drying, vacuuming inside the car and such. Haha.. gotta use Paint to edit the car plate number cause my laptop died right after I came back from 30 hours famine ;( Before I forget, it cost me RM8 to wash there (hmm.. I shouldn't go too often eventhough it is therapeutic =X)

As I mentioned just now, my laptop died. Apparently after sitting there for 1 freaking day, it died. Looks like it can't live without me >.<" Hence, all the assignments and stuff pouring in and I need to use a laptop. So, my housemate offered me his netbook while I try to resurrect my lappie. Look at that lucky netbook! So pimped thanks to my late lappie's gears xD

Well I hate netbooks after getting the chance to use one. The keypad is so different and it is so slow. I think if I load Photoshop, it will crash or take like forever to load. Well, that's all my updates for now. Till then!

Sinful Kindori

2010-07-26T23:10:00.001+08:00

Question: What can be more sinful than having a healthy Kindori ice cream?

The taste of the succulent mango flavor will explode your taste buds leaving nothing behind but a total euphoric sensation in your mouth! But what can be more sinful than having the ice cream itself is placing the leftover sin to another innocent bystander vehicle..

Leaving a sin (disposing rubbish there) and creating another sin (the owner of the car might have the urge/curiosity to try the ice cream) =P

My HOT Wife

2010-05-28T04:47:00.000+08:00

Time for an update! =D Check out my freaking HOT wife's temperature below:

According to SpeedFan, both my graphic card and processor are above 80 degree Celsius!! OMGWTFBBQ!! Can almost fry an egg on it!! PLUS! This is with my Zalman cooler which reduces the heat by at least 10 degree Celsius (according to my past experience).. This indicates that the lifespan of it is shortened by a huge amount...

IF (a big IF & *touchwood*), it decided to leave me alone, life goes on! I need to find a new mate :P & IF it decided to leave me in this few months time, I have a candidate on my mind =X

Tadaa! Dell Alienware M11x! It's almost time for Dell to upgrade this laptop to Intel's new Core i3/i5/i7 super low voltage processors =D Meaning less power hunger, more battery life & not so HOT (cool to be precise ;P) Moreover, it's supposedly weight less than 2kg (which is what I'm looking for) so it makes it super portable gaming rig! =D

What's more? The keyboard has pretty lights!! =X OMG! OMG! OMG! This is so cool!! (goes nerd mode) Hahaha.. Anyway, the downside is the 11 inch screen which will be too small for me (but I will most probably get a monitor for this).. Meh.. I really hope my wife doesn't leave me alone just like that.. I still love my wife.. my sexy, HOT wife.. -_-"

Haiz.. still feel bad hogging my dad's N82.. Forget about Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.. I'm now into the upcoming Nokia N8.. Symbian^3, 12MP camera, HD video recording, etc = LUST! Okay.. I better stop imagining stuff and head back to reality LOL!! Till then!

Realization

2010-05-19T00:21:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I update this blog. One reason for my absence in the blogging world has been very obvious. I have no internet connection at home! You can see me lugging around my laptop everyday to university just to use the internet. Well, you can say that now I'm like coming out of the cave where I hide for a very long long time..

Whatever, that is not my main topic for now. This post is for the sake of updating! xD One of the items in my wish list has been fulfilled! xD

Meet my new sexy baby! Nope it's not black in color but it's white!! Weird? Reason? I'm different!! =P Till the next update!

Demise..

2010-03-31T00:03:00.001+08:00

Does everything needs to come to an end? Meh..

The world is so funny now..

You can find lots of weird drinks in pubs! & if you order those, it shows how h0rny you are xD

Note This!!

2009-11-26T12:50:00.002+08:00

I'm sorry for not blogging lately cause I got no internet access.. SAD!! May come up with a new life project soon :P alright.. that's all for now..

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS!!! ;D

PS: MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010, & HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! xD

Living for others..

2009-11-07T14:50:00.002+08:00

Alright time to update my blog to shoo away spiders from my web xD As I was going through the movies stored in my external hard-disk, I watch again a little part of this movie called Ghost Town (yeah.. I know.. I know.. I watch really weird unknown movies)

Love some of the songs too~ Well I don't know what I'm looking for but I know that I just want to look some more...

Okay.. so happened it is the scene where the protagonist was lost and trying to find his way back by seeking back advices from his colleague. So, his colleague showed him a poster hanging on top of the wall which quotes:

"Only a life lived for others is worth living"
- Albert Einstein

So I want to thank both the movie, Ghost Town, as well as Einstein for this inspiring quote and for reminding me the way I used to lived: to make a fool out of myself while making others happy =X

Anyway, I'm glad that more students are contributing to the society.. Can see this through the trip to PAWS Animal Shelter in Subang!

People come and go.. but one thing I'm glad is that the number of people going to PAWS is increasing :) I don't care what's their purpose of doing charity work, either it is for friend, society, etc, but I know that they are doing this for others (if you're still waiting for the punchline, see the quote on top, and if you still don't get it, I'm sorry it's over [see Singapore's Drag Queen Kumar] =P)

Bad ending for the month of October

2009-11-01T00:51:00.003+08:00

Well, I don't know how to start this but I can say that life is unexpected! It is full with surprises - good or bad. It's already the end of October and I can say that it didn't end that well! Why? Cause I'm unlucky.. So unlucky.. Very unlucky.. -_-" So you might ask what happened?! This is what happened:

An imbecile Mercedes collided my car when the imbecilic driver tries to park his imbecile car.. Luckily the detriment wasn't severe at all - just a minor scrape.. but still.. GAH!!!

Alright this happened the night of October 30 when was out dinner in Ming Tien. I double-parked outside and sat at the table just next to my car.. Suddenly, got one B-Class Mercedes came from the wrong direction in the one-way road -_-" Then it wanted to park behind of my car and this fler like no skill at all turn in and collided the side at the back of my car. Thanks to Ms Mandy (Mrs Tang =P) who managed to negotiate RM30 out of this (BTW, this is my first time experiencing such things and therefore I just watch how she did it cause I'm still learning! - Ancora Imparo).. Thirty freaking bucks for this small scratch! Just WOW!! Cause that imbecile lou bak (uncle) also quite reluctant to pay that much.. Here is what I can remember about that lou bak:

Anyway, I really don't understand why rich people are so kiamsiap (greedy).. So damn lot of money can buy Mercedes B-Class worth RM210k also so freaking reluctant to pay a little extra for the damage that he did..

Just FYI, this is what Mercedes B-Class looked like.. Just beware of any Mercedes (especially the new ones)! Seriously man.. they think they got a lot money buy expensive car but then they don't know how to drive them properly.. zZz!!

Another thing that pisses me off is Streamyx.. They came out with such a radical marketing strategy, a direct counter to P1 Wimax's marketing campaign! P1 Wimax ask to "potong" (cut) and now Streamyx ask not to "potong" claiming they are the best bla bla.. What nonsense? Hello?!! Streamyx, please fix your service before spitting out nonsense! I paid darn lot for your 4MB broadband line and what you give me? An unstable connection which keeps disconnecting.. WTF?!

I will get disconnected randomly once every few minutes.. So irritating! I can't download or surf website properly! Just so sick of it.. Minimum 1 year contract some more.. effing stupid!! If terminate before 1 year, they will eat up all the deposit (4MB deposit is damn lot) This is what most Malaysian corporations do; they will do anything all in the name of money.. Eff.. Mr Hammond is also furious about this:

Happy Examination!!

2009-10-30T01:18:00.003+08:00

First of all, I want to wish everyone Happy Examination!! :X Alright, my head is a bit off cause I just finished my first paper today. Didn't manage to finish it because I went to the loo for a short while [of course I didn't do big business] -_-" If I didn't go, I can finish it on time (just need 5 minutes more) LOL!

Anyway, I don't like to use the word "studying" for exams as I think the word "revising" is a much more appropriate no? Cause I did not just started studying for a subject ;P While revising, got bored, and do silly things:

It's the beacon of hope, the light of perfection that illuminate at the darkest time, the flame that ignite us!! It's lame!! Hahaha.. xD

Can draw nonsense some more - I'm partially conscious when drawing this.. Such a funny illustration :P

Also, I can't seem to get this song out of my head!! OMG!! Leona!!! How did you cast this spell on me?! >.<"

So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world blows me off the edge, my feet run out of ground? I got to find my place! I want to hear my sound! Don't care about all the pain in front of me! I just want to be HAPPY!!!!!!

Perhaps the lyrics reflects what I am thinking in my head right now and that's why this song stuck in my mind? Hmm.. I read about this theory somewhere before though.. Anyway, to all Monashians, all the best again in exams! ;D

Awake..

2009-10-23T00:23:00.002+08:00

Question of the day: How do you wake up everyday? Do you:- wake up to your alarm?; force yourself up for class?; snooze until fully awake?; wake up automatically early in the morning?; etc.? Well, I reckon you know how you wake up everyday. So now hear me say this: the way that you wake up tells a little story about your current life. This is of course not scientifically proven but I believe this is true. Let's start!

Waking up to the irritating noise of the alarm, shutting it off quickly, forcing yourself to freshen up to get the day started shows that you have an obligation to fulfill, like a job or assignment to complete or even perhaps attending examination. However, if you are still snoozing after the alarm rings, this shows that you are demotivated. You have no purpose, no motivations in life. Well, another possible reason for this is that you are exhausted - in this case, you should consider to exercise more often.

On the bright side, if you wake up early in the morning without the help of the alarm clock or wake up hastily after the alarm rang, well, I can say that you are the type of person who can't wait to live another day of your life - meaning that you are highly motivated, have a purpose in life or even keen to experience/see something/someone. A good example would be that if you have a crush on a person that you know that you will see him/her, let's say in the LRT station, everyday at the same time, you will surely get up from bed in this manner just to be able to see him/her.

By now you will think that I'm blabbering nonsense. Actually, I'm not sure myself too but since this is what I thought, might as well I express it in my own space on the net. Who cares right? Bleh.. The important thing that I wanted to point out is that I hope you are highly motivated and know your purpose in life. I know I'm still struggling at this point so pardon me..

It's time to WAKE UP!!

Dissapointing New Flavors

2009-10-21T21:38:00.004+08:00

I reckon that I really need to blog more often as assignments and examinations should not be one of the many excuses to not write anything and share it. Yup, I'm hoping to break the pact of laziness! Question of the day: Have you tried the new flavors of Pringles? After coughing almost every time I took a bite of it, I'm proud to say that I did, well.. at least not all the flavors - thank God!

Walking around Sunway Pyramid one fine day, trying to buy and restock stuffs, and as passing through the main entrance of Guardian pharmacy, with its new packaging and flavors, Pringles tempted me, yet I couldn't help myself but to satisfy my inquisitiveness and that is when I decided to purchase it.

The two regretful flavors I've purchased was Grilled Shrimp which tasted like the keropok where you can buy it cheaply and the horrid Soft-Shell Crab which tasted like sea water and I coughed every time I put a slice into my mouth. This conclusion is arrived solely based on my taste-buds and I have no intention to offend anyone who loves these new flavors by Pringles.

Nevertheless, I guess I'll stick to the old flavors like BBQ or Cheese. I really don't know how they can sell these horrible flavors in the market. So, if you are reading this, I strongly advise you to stick to the old flavors, if you ever buy Pringles! I managed to finish the Grilled Shrimp and I'm trying to force the Soft-Shell Crab down my throat *GAH*

Halloween came early..

2009-10-18T00:32:00.006+08:00

Just got a feeling that I need to update my blog =) Here is a little update of myself.. Halloween came early for me this year (even I don't celebrate it)..

Tadaa! Even though it looks a bit hideous, I still feel proud that I actually made this all by myself!! :D

Okay this event is not actually to celebrate Halloween (just that I consider this as a pre-Halloween celebration).. This is MEMS's "Illumination" gathering.. Just look at other people's creation!

The President did a great job by providing us with lots of food and beverages! There's BBQ!! :))

Look at what I've drawn on my cup.. I felt childish for a moment =X

Here's another creation of mine.. What does it looked like to you? To be honest, I'm obsessed with dinosaurs ever since I was young.. They're too cute!!

Well I guess this is the end for now but I will try my best to update more frequently albeit there's assignment and examination which are both just around the corner.. Until then, cheers mate! :)

Real Ancient..

2009-10-09T00:36:00.002+08:00

Monash University's mid-semester break.. well not a mid but more to end-semester break -_-" ..back to ancient town.. found ancient stuff.. =P

Have you seen these before? ;P These are diskettes! They can store up to 1MB each.. Well, the younger generation should appreciate USB flashdrives we have today! -_-"

Well, I tried to use my ancient PC to online.. This is one of the main reasons why I don't online when I'm in Melaka =X

Sad.. my shades!! ..broken..torn..

the shades left me permanently =( and.. +RM30 for a new one.. the lens are not as large as the old 1 ;\

Well, I hope I will be more gentle in the future :) Future me!! Jangan terlalu ganas!! :X Till then, have a nice day xD

My Govt..

2009-10-06T20:32:00.000+08:00

Don't want to comment too much about this (ISA xD).. Well, pictures can say a thousand words ;P

Last month, I broke my personal record of posting up 18 blog post in a month xD However, I have lots of "business" to attend this period of time.. Guess I will not be updating that often anymore (but I will try my very best to update - despite of the scheduled post I've written a long time ago :P) Sorry guys..

Well, I went back to my hometown during the mid-semester break.. Not a holiday at all! After going there and here, and here and there, I wished that there are more than 24 hours a day..

Hmm.. I find that the settings of this place is quite interesting.. The bank really a lot money too spend -_-" Alright this is so random.. GAH! Skip it! Must be my brain malfunctioning at this time of the day.. Walkathon '09, here I come!!

NKF Life Check

2009-10-03T02:12:00.000+08:00

If you are a Monashian, you might realized that the NKD Life Check is long over by now which means this is one of my scheduled post =P After comparing this year's NKF result with last year's, I'm starting to doubt the accuracy of the NKF's life check. No offense but I'm really not trying to defame the National Kidney Foundation! Check out the snapshots of my NKF results below:

This is my 2008 result and below is my 2009 result:

As you can see, my Body Mass Index (BMI) increased from 22.2 to 22.7 (doesn't matter much to me actually). The real problem now is that I'm 1cm shorter compared to last year? How is that even possible?! Also, my waist circumference drop from 91cm to 84cm?! What the eff?! That's 7cm difference and if my tummy did shrunk, why the eff my weight increased from 70.6kg to 71kg? This is not making sense to me at all!! This really questions the accuracy of the NKF life check!

Anyway, this year's result shows that I have low cholesterol (bad news for me!) Is it maybe because that I lost my appetite recently (this explains why I never blog about food for such a long time) which causes this? Oh well, looks like I need to find some joy in seafood or perhaps bakuteh =X

The appearance of my 2007 pics in Monash Portal

2009-09-30T11:22:00.024+08:00

This post is in relation with the Monash Portal Pics Competition 2009 one.. I'm so exhilarated to see two of my year 2007 pictures to appear in Monash Portal!! xD

This was taken from my balcony in 19th floor of Sun-U Residence :D

& this.. was taken when I was loitering around at the sofas outside the school of business :P

Quick Trip to PAWS

2009-09-29T01:22:00.000+08:00

Alright.. at first, I have no intention to write about this but since there is a special request for me to do so.. & so.. here it is! It will be quite a short one though since I didn't take much pictures at PAWS (my hands are covered with paint xD) The morning of Monday, 28/9/2009:

We are supposed to leave Monash University for PAWS at 9AM but ended up leaving at 9.30AM.. LOL! Need wait for people to come.. ~~(nampaknya tidak boleh guna DHL lagi sebab dia lambat sangat :X)~~

This is the scenery when we arrived at PAWS.. Hmm.. don't know why those two stared at each other so seriously.. Hmm.. "一柱擎天" LOL!! Sorrylah!! Can't help it but to put in those words.. =P

The puppies are so darn cute!!!!!!

This time, we are going to repaint the walls outside PAWS!! So, people are assigned accordingly to paint the wall, do the dogs & do the cats..

Since I'm one of the people who did the repainting, my shorts was horribly tainted by the paint :( Sad man! I kinda like this shorts but I got no others better so sacrifice -_-" Even worse case:

The stupid turpentine discolored my new pair of slippers especially the right one!! SUPER SAD!! This is the second time I wear this slippers (it's a new pair of slippers okay for crying out loud!! ARGH!) and it got damaged so badly.. (to AJ: Padini slippers are not as expensive as those Nike or Quicksilver or even Billabong okay? I'm not that rich -_-")

So after all that painting and stuff, we went to Fullhouse in Ara Damansara which is just a few minutes drive* from PAWS..

* EHEM! With illegal method used! xD

Here is what we ordered.. Don't want to write much about it *hmph* So this is "our food and I.."

"Our dessert and I.." *hmph* - Sorry for people who don't know what is this about.. it's sort of internal joke thingy =P

NEW RUMOUR!! Now you can start about this and stop talking weird rumours about me ok? :P This time trip to PAWS sure is as fun as the other times.. Sadly I don't have the group photos (it is in Tze Yuen's camera).. I think you can see it together with the details of this trip when it is posted up the LEO MUSC blog which is I don't know when -_-" That's all my report for this trip ;P

Give > Take

2009-09-28T20:51:00.002+08:00

The last time I posted about the Monash Ball 2009, I forgot to mention something which is sort of related to this post.. There is a lucky draw during the ball.. Apparently, that "sun of a beach" don't know how to pick a ticket number out properly.. Most number he took out are 07XX or 08XX (I can't remember..) This is not fair!! Why he took out tickets only from one part of the box?.. Sad!!!

A freakin' lucky gal got a Samsung Omnia!! OMGWTFBBQ!! FYI, Samsung Omnia worth around RM2k!! OMGWTFBBQ again!! Okay.. to sum it up they gave away Epson printer, iPod Shuffle, perfume, etc etc. zZz.. I'm so damn unlucky!! (T.T) Oh wells, that the topic this time: to give more than what you take.. In this case I gave RM80 to go to the ball and took less stuff ~~(sucky food and empty handed)~~

Aiya.. since some people want to see some photo.. here it is.. =P Actually I'm in the midst of collecting my pictures scattered around in my friends' camera (cause I felt too embarrassed to use my phone to take picture.. PAISEH!!).. So this is the one of the first pictures I received xD Hmm.. if my hair was longer, I can do sort of Adam Lambert style but oh wells.. :X

I just learned something really valuable which is that in life, you must give more than you take! I used to give more than what I take but then due to some reasons, I don't anymore. So, from today onwards, I will give more than I take.. That means doing stuff without expecting something in return.. (now I really know what am I doing in LEO) Why don't you too try to do so? Give it a try and perhaps you will live a happier life :)

Monash Ball 2009 at Sunway Hotel

2009-09-26T13:33:00.000+08:00

Been thinking of lots of deep and negative thoughts lately.. Lost my appetite and spirit.. This must be one of the downside in my life.. So, I try to "enjoy" myself in Monash Ball but it didn't quite work out.. [not to say the ball sucks but it just too mediocre for me.. nothing big] The theme of this year is Vogue which means you can see many people wearing high-fashion clothing.. As for me, I just wear my old outfit (no coat or vest) which is so normal that I feel a little inferior.. 25th of September, the day of the ball.. I can see many people are excited over it but for no reason, I'm not.. Girls took hours to makeup themselves and lots of people ended up late for the ball..

Look at the crowd of latecomers waiting to go into the hall.. Well, it's almost 8.30pm and I'm glad there are others who are as late as me..

After the wait, we finally managed to get into the hall missing only a few boring performances (arrival of VIP thingy).. The picture shown above is where I sat.. It's way back to the end of the hall and since it is so hard to see anything from this place, thanks to the to the waiter/waiteress walking around and some standing in the middle showing their backsides (HELLO?! Can you move?! I don't want to see your arse!! Urgh.. whatever..) and the stage or wherever the perform is too low, I cannot see a thing at all (resolved by standing up)..

This is the menu: Green Bean and Prawn Timbale, Fresh Herb Salad and Confit Tomatoes; Superior Chicken Broth with Lemongrass and Wantan; Grilled Herb Brushed Spring Chicken Confit Garlic Polenta Cake, Roasted Vegetables and Honey Mustard Sauce; Coconut Crème Brulee Pineapple Maple Syrup Ice Cream and Sugar Snap; Orange Cordial. Okay.. those are a very long name for a dish -_-" Oh wells, at least you know what ingredients they used..

Orange Cordial.. 'nuff said!

This is not in the menu.. For the hungry mob who cannot wait for the food to come..

Green Bean and Prawn Timbale, Fresh Herb Salad and Confit Tomatoes. I don't like the waiters serve the table.. They randomly serve the food to people (some get to eat first and some just stare at them & sadly, I'm one of the person staring at others enjoying their food -_-")!! This dish is not bad actually.. it is of average only for me :P

Superior Chicken Broth with Lemongrass and Wantan. Well, well.. I paid RM80 to eat this chicken and wantan soup which I get everytime I order a Wantan Noodle =_=

This is Grilled Herb Brushed Spring Chicken Confit Garlic Polenta Cake, Roasted Vegetables and Honey Mustard Sauce. Such a long name -_-" Okay.. this.. I don't like the flavoring of it.. It is as if the flavors are not harmonized in this dish.. Weird!! I not so like it..

Finally, Coconut Crème Brulee Pineapple Maple Syrup Ice Cream and Sugar Snap. I can say this dessert flavors are all over the place! If I mix each and every bit of the thing in this mug, I can taste something weird.. If I eat bits by bits, I can taste lots of different flavors which do not exist in harmony =X However, there is one part of this dish that taste good and since my taste became unresponsive, I don't know what is that taste..

There are many entertainers who came to the ball.. Henry Golding (don't know who is this), Sarah Lian (heard before but don't know who she is.. hope she's not Ah Lian), Esther (some local TV singing competition candidate), Reshmonu (oh yeah.. I know this guy :D) and some others which I don't even know what are their names..

What I think of this ball? Everything is a rush! The dance floor opened a little to late, and there is such a limited time for people to dance! The songs that they played are so inappropriate for a "ball".. Plus, AHH.. enough for scrutinizing (I don't want to get sued or something) =X I did not enjoy but I did have some good time (ugh what am I saying -_-") But hey!!.. one good thing about this ball is the...

Complimentary tickets to Ministry of Sound (MOS)!! I didn't enjoy much inside as there are no real kakis for such event.. Finally, since the lighting of the room is always at dark conditions, my camera cannot take good pictures with it so I didn't take much photos that night.. sad right? How I wish I have a DSLR in my hands.. dream on.. dream on..

Imbecilic Mourning for the Late

2009-09-26T00:58:00.003+08:00

Frankly speaking, I think people who mourn for other's death are blind idiots. You can disagree with me in this statement but don’t look at me differently after reading this. Everyone got their own perspective on things – just accept this fact!

First of all, life goes on. I think Carrie Underwood's Wheel of the World song is best to describe this situation. I will show you the method that I use when I tried psychoanalyzing William Blake (but it turned out to be a sex manual in the end looking at the lecturer's comment -_-"). This is not a psychoanalysis but I’m trying to explain the words used in the lyrics :)

Love goes out, out like a light.
Out like a flame and you can’t find it anymore.
Just when you think it’s lost in the rain, it comes back knockin' at your door.

This shows that love (as in your loved ones) can leave you anytime. Even worse, they can also leave you permanently (pass away). As you cannot accept their departure, it will haunt you (as in you mourn over them for a very long time and think negative thoughts).

God put us here on this carnival ride.
We close our eyes, never knowing where it'll take us next.
Babies are born, and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath.

We are all being born in this world with no power or control over the course of nature. If we just ignore the people in this world, we will not expect what to happen next to them and how it may affect us. People come and go.

It’s the wheel of the world.
It’s the wheel of the world turning around.
In the blink of an eye, it can change your life.
And it never even slows down.

It is the course of nature that people come and go. At a split of second, it can affect your life (you lost someone forever in your life). This course of nature can never be stopped.

It can open your heart, it can break you apart.
And it never even slows down.
It’s the wheel of the world turning around.

The lost of someone precious to you can open your eyes (to cherish the people that you love when you’re still alive) and it can also affect you severely (to think negative thoughts like not appreciating him/her when they are still alive). However, it’s all too late, as the course of nature is unstoppable.

Alright back to the point! Why I think people who mourn for other’s death are blind idiots? Their mourning shows the sense of regret in them. This sense of regret is duly to their ignorance over the late person. For instance, when the late person is still alive, they did not appreciate him/her (as in on what he/she did for you). And only after his death that they realized how important that person is to them. This is ironic! I think that people who appreciate and cherish someone plus make the best out of their lives will not feel a sense of regret towards the person’s lost. What I’m trying to say here is that if that person lived happily every minute of his/her life as you have always cherish him/her, you will never regret for his/her loss as you will think that the person has lived enough as a person in this world.

It’s complicated and it’s hard for me to explain.. I might end up twisting this into a wrong statement so I will stop here. Hope you get my point. It is blind for a person not to cherish his/her loved ones when they are still close to them. They will be an idiot if they only managed to realize this after they lost their loved ones. And that is ladies and gentlemen for an imbecile who mourns for someone’s death.

However, sadness is another thing. When this happens, you will only feel shocked and down for a moment and this will not badly effect you. You accept his/her death and continue to move on (that’s what life is.. it’s the Wheel of the World turning around!). I hope you are not one of those blind people who take life for granted.. In conclusion, live life happily and consciously!! Cherish and appreciate your loved ones (friends and family) at all times!! Regret now, don’t regret later.. peace out!

Revolver..

2009-09-25T00:05:00.000+08:00

"...My love's a revolver, my sex is a killer.

Do you wanna die happy? Do you wanna die happy?
I let it bang bang! I send a bang bang!..."

"...The victim didn’t complain, she just screamed shoot again.

I gave her extra rounds. My barrel twist around.

I am Mr shoot ‘em down. I leave hearts on the ground.

My love-using weapon. And yes I use it well.
Then I let the rose petals cover up the bullet shells.

I never shoot and tell. I only shoot to kill.

And the vest ain't gonna help it even if you’re laying still.

My love is a revolver. Do you want to be my target?

Coz I’m a sharp shooter. Matter of fact im the sharpest.

My aim is so flawless, girl you can be the farthest.

I'ma still shoot my love, let me know that you caught it.

I'm the trigger man, I pull it. I will when he wouldn’t.

Do you want to eat the bullet? And I know where to put it..."

Madonna ft. Lil' Wayne - Revolver

Well, you know.. you can decipher those lyrics into another context.. [Hint: the revolver (gun/pistol) could represent the phallic no?] That's the beauty of language in lyrics today.. such metaphoric.. ahh.. ;D -END of LAME post-

Footprints of a Nomad..

2009-09-24T00:17:00.005+08:00

I can clearly consider myself as a nomad. I had moved at least 4 times ever since began studying in Monash (and I'm planning to find a new place all over again now).. This is a log of places that I've stayed so far to remind myself how hard is it for me to settle down in one place and just wanted to share this experience of mine..

The first time I came into Monash, I was situated in Mentari Court by the hostel management of Sunway..

Here is a view of my window in Mentari Court.. Pathetic isn't it? It got no nice view at all.. Due to safety reasons and also the distance of this place to Monash University, I've applied for a change to Sunway-Monash Condominium which is now known as Sun-U Residence..

Here is my view when I was allocated to the 19th floor in Sun-U Residence..

And this is a better view of the scenery inside my room.. However, I've planned to change my room to a lower floor in the condominium at that time.. As my tenancy expired and I was unable to renew it, I search for another place to live in the condominium.. I found a private unit at the 8th floor of the condominium.. it sounds like a good deal for me as that is what I am looking for at that time..

This is the view through my window on the 8th floor.. I thought this is the place that I'm going to live in for the rest of my studies in Monash University in Sunway campus but it isn't!! I despise my housemates here.. just to give you a hint, they are not Malaysians (Malaysia's neighbour).. I don't want to offend anyone right now.. I really wanted to move out from this place as soon as my contract ends because the electricity bill that this 1 unit produces each month exceeds RM500 and the maximum that I've seen is RM1000+.. This is totally absurd as I did not use as much electricity as they did!!

and now.. I'm currently living on the 4th floor in Indah Villa.. I thought this will be the place that I will settle down for as it has a nice view of Sunway Lagoon not to mention the free viewing of concerts held here..

The thing that drives me crazy about this place is that it is really noisy in the morning.. Once Sunway Lagoon starts to operate, loud music can be heard and also the screaming of people sitting on the 360 degrees spinning ship thingy.. Urgh.. I can't concentrate when I'm in this sort of environment!!

At night, this place became serene.. but the fact that I've been experiencing bad luck ever since I lived in this place (never before i keep injuring myself again and again after one of my injuries healed) makes me even want to move out.. this is most probably due to the bad feng shui..

The good thing of being a nomad is that it trained me to adapt to a new environment quickly.. I really can't settle down when living in a place that I really don't feel comfortable of.. How lah my life?..

Pre-Use!!

2009-09-21T03:15:00.000+08:00

This is a scheduled post just to keep my blog alive.. It's the 15th of September 2009 & in conjunction with the Go Green (organized by LEO Club) week in Monash, Toyota is invited to showcase their hybrid car, Prius (you can pronounce it as pre-use [think this suits the environment thingy] or pre-us.. it's up to you but of course not other silly pronounciation like "purse" or perhaps "peh-rai-us").. The purpose of this is to create an awareness among the students to care more about our environment ~~or you can say brainwash rich Monash students to purchase a Prius next time~~..

Unfortunately, the Prius that they brought is a 2nd Generation one as there is no 3rd Generation Prius available on this day for showcase..

Since hybrid cars are still new to Malaysians, many gathered to take a look at the car (including myself :D)..

This is the engine of the car - so minimal!! By now you will be thinking if the front part of the car is so short, the car must be spacious right?

Well it is!! At the back of the car, I can sit comfortably albeit I'm a rather tall person (I always have trouble sitting at the backseat [including Vios!!] ESPECIALLY in small cars like Kancil or Kelisa!!!)

Have a human corpse or two to dispose? No worries!! Prius' boot is large enough to fit those corpse(s) [depend of the size] ;P

And this.. is the dashboard! I can say this car have many compartments - too much that you can forgot where you put your stuff!! See that screen in between the air-conditioner? It is touchscreen but sadly it doesn't come with a GPS..

A new weird thing about this car is its gear shifting stick (ugh.. whatever you call it).. It looked a little fragile to me.. Look at the video below to see how it use to change the gear (you can turn off this site music temporary but going to the top of the page and click on the pause button):

I apologize for the lousy quality of this video (recorded it using Nokia N82) and us being like jakun cause we really never sit in a hybrid car before!! :P So.. do you wish you have a car like that? Well.. if you are an assassin, I suggest you to get this car.. as you can see and hear in the video, the car runs quietly and according to the guy, a half fuel tank of Prius can get the car moving as far as 300km (I think.. can't remember the facts properly :P).. Hence, besides having a large trunk to dispose the corpse, you will have no worries of running out of fuel! Hahaha.. so lame.. xD

Frankly, I think the 2nd Generation Prius have a flimsy interior as most parts are very plastic-like (not so environmental friendly huh :P) and also the seats are hard and not so good material (try sweating and sitting on it.. you can see your sweat stain there eww..).. I hope the 3rd Generation one won't be the same (perhaps leather seats or something? :P).. Also, the cost of a 3rd Generation Toyota Prius is freaking high as it retails at around RM175k where you can get a 2.4L Toyota Camry.. I think.Malaysians (money minded) are not willing to purchase hybrids car (which targets environmental conscious people) yet as they are to bloody expensive (this includes the Honda Civic hybrid).. Will you buy one?

So special until it needed a post by itself!!

2009-09-17T00:12:00.002+08:00

First of all, I want to thank you all for giving me this opportu... Eh!! This not Oscar awards opps!! :P Alright. straight to the point!! I really want to wish you guys a BIG BIG BIG

THANK YOU!!

to all who gave me this special present for my 21st Birthday!!!! :D Even though it is late (well actually it is not that late), I'm very very happy that you give it to me!! :) For all who shared and never get to see what I received from you guys.. let me make a review out of it ;P

So cute haha.. actually, it is not necessary to wrap this gift because I scare later some ~~Tropicana people~~ environmentalists come hunt us down for destroying trees :P Alright time to unwrap the wrapper..

Woohoo~ a hard disk drive (HDD) just what I need ;P Now I can save my favorite movies and dramas into this 320GB baby =D Unwrapping the wrapper was a breeze but taking out the HDD from this case sure is tough -_-"

Tadaa!! Seagate FreeAgent|Go on duty!! She sure is pretty ;P but it took me around 4 hours to clean format it :\ Aiyo.. you guys shouldn't have get me this lah!! Just get me a candy is enough already.. Anyway.. sorry for the trouble for getting me this (especially AJ!!)..

To show how small is she, I will compare her with John Paul Satre's autobiography xD Look at it.. she is much smaller and slimmer than that book.. prettier too!! ~~Ugh.. just look at Satre's face on the front cover :X~~

To end this post, I cant really express how grateful I am to you guys for presenting me with this gift.. I know words can't express this feeling but yet again.. Thanks a million!! :))

Monash Portal Pics Competition 2009

2009-09-15T22:10:00.000+08:00

Just FYI.. To all employed staffs and enrolled students of Monash University, if you want to try your luck to win a bookshop voucher (I think for Australia campus only zZz!!) worth AUD200 from Monash University, you can try to enter the Portal login pics competition! Click here for more information.

As for me, I think the winning prizes are useless because I am not planning to exchange or transfer to Australia at the moment. However, I will enter this competition just to try my luck and perhaps put a challenge to my photography skills :) Looking through my albums in my hard drive, the only time I ever take pictures around Monash University Sunway Campus is when I first enrolled into this university (year 2007). I find most of my pictures not suitable for this competition.. Say.. I can't simply put a picture that shows about my bad experience in Monash don't I? Surely cannot win already lah if I do so!!

For example.. THIS!!! In year 2007, I found this worm inside my chicken rice soup which I almost eat it (or maybe I already had -_-") Don't worry! The old chicken rice shop was replaced with a new one :X

& also.. this poor thing which I found dead lying down on the floor outside the library.. Ugh sorry for the gruesomeness :P I can't help it xD

Also, when I browsing through Monash Portal to see some participants picture, I found one picture which is almost the same as one of the pictures I took in 2007 with my Sony Ericsson k800i!! Argh.. this is heartbreaking as I think I took a better picture than this guy :(

Look at this guy's version from this point of view.. and compare it to mine (I'm bragging here :P) below:

Hahahaha... Its up to you to judge which is better.. I purposely put my name on the picture so no one can steal it and use it to join the competition (I'm being paranoid here :P)

So if you are a Monash student or staff, why not try your luck joining this competition? It'd be fun if you got nothing better to do ~~other than tons of workload and assignments.. ugh I know this is sensitive here opps~~!! ;D Wish me luck too! I will try to participate in this competition using my old year 2007 picture LoL.. :P

Grumbles!!

2009-09-14T23:19:00.002+08:00

Today.. blood donation in Monash foyer.. can't help it.. must blog about it this time.. Apparently I received a special treatment from the nurse which is seriously effing special until I'm really.......................

Alright.. look at this nurse.. she sits next to me looking at why my blood flow so slow into the packet albeit I have a huge vein.. zZz.. look at this picture below:

Holy-crap!! Look at the size of the needle poking into my hand!! Saw that extra needle not poked into my skin? GAH!! The story continues...

So.. this impatient nurse knew I have a huge vein and it is weird for the blood to flow so slowly into the packet.. Then.. this clever fler then poked the extra needle deeper!! She SUPERPOKED the whole needle in!!! Crap.. I told her to stop but she don't want to listen zZz.. so I control myself from bursting out in that moment as I knew I better not upset this fler as something will really go wrong if I did -_-"

In the end, there is no more blood flowing out and as she take out the needle out of my hand, my blood squirted out!! She said the blood must have dried up in the needle and that is why it wont flow into the packet.. Luckily my blood is not wasted as I managed to pump out 3/4 of the packet.. On the bright side, I learn a bit about my body that my blood can dry up quickly.. Meaning that if I ever cut myself ~~or fall and hurt myself~~, I can heal faster :P or some sort like that lah.. What a day.. what a day..

Grats Grads!

2009-09-13T00:15:00.001+08:00

Hmm.. another random post.. This shows how unproductive I am during the weekends.. Anyway.. I want to wish (again :X) congratulations to everyone who graduated! :P I'm so bored.. let's play spot the difference!! xD Take a look at this photo (credits to Jason):

and

then

this

Can you spot the difference? LoL!! Pretty obvious isn't it? :P

Italiannies at Sunway Pyramid

2009-09-12T00:17:00.002+08:00

Not that I'm rich to come here on a random day but I'm tagging along with a bunch of people to celebrate a friend's birthday (10th September 2009).. The main entrance of this shop is outside Sunway Pyramid Orange Atrium.. It is just next to Republic and apparently it is behind TGI Friday's (there is a small door inside TGIF to Italiannies)

I didn't order the food (the birthday boy did) so I really got no idea what he ordered.. First is this pizza with salmon (sorry for the lousy picture quality.. gee.. I think I really need to upgrade :X).. it's crunchy which makes it a little weird for me.. Hmm.. I prefer some others.. (hint - Papa John's ;P)

Next is this meatball.. since some of us don't take beef, I think the birthday boy requested to change the meat to chicken or something.. Hmm.. I doubt a little -_-"

Okay.. here is the what's the thing looks like.. I can see mushroom at the bottom, pasta sauce on the top and don't know what meat LoL.. Well, I can say it tasted quite nice :D

Moving on is this spaghetti.. Urm.. the chicken was tender but the spaghetti a bit cold for me -_-" I think it needed more time to cook.. Well, that is for my case but on average, it's fine..

Finally, another noodle dish.. I seriously have no idea what is this but I know there is salmon in it.. My taste buds tell me that it lack of seasoning (I sprinkled pepper on it).. I can see a lot of stuff mixed together with the noodle but all I can taste is the salmon and faint carbonara sauce.. Err.. well some might like it, for me I personally think this dish is under-seasoned..

In conclusion, even though I do not know whats the total amount for all the stuff that we ordered, I know that you must prepare to cash out lots of cash if you want to try the food in this restaurant.. The environment is nice and the food is satisfying :) But hey.. if you really want to try Italiannies just to get the feel of it, they are currently having some promotions! Click the picture below for a larger picture to read the words to check the promotions out! (sorry for the bad picture quality and such!)

Please don't get me wrong.. Italiannies is not paying me to promote this haha.. :P

Meh.. this is suppose to be an event log to let me remember what I did but it ended up becoming like a food post haha.. Anyway I want to wish again the birthday boy, YX ~~(Hmm.. I don't want to use your full name here cause I scare you will sue me or something.. so there I put up a picture of you above LoL.. :X [gosh.. I hope you don't read this])~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Thanks for being such a good roommate once and also adding colors into my life!

P.S. If someone got their salary already *ehm* you know where to bring us lah.. (hint - places like the restaurant above :P)

Ayam Penyet at Asia Cafe

2009-09-11T01:10:00.000+08:00

As I was walking around in Asia Cafe looking for something to eat, I found a new stall selling AYAM PENYET (smashed chicken)!! I can't resist myself and so I ordered a plate to try it out :D It's an AYAM PENYET eating spree!! xD

So it came.. and it cost RM5.50 which is cheaper than RIA's Ayam Penyet..

Since it is cheaper than RIA's, the taste is mediocre.. well, you cannot expect much from something this cheap! Also.. the chili was not as spicy as RIA's and taste a bit odd I must say (hmm..maybe I never stir it beforehand).. Oh wells.. the best ayam penyet you can get in Subang is still Ayam Penyet RIA in Mentari :D

2009-09-09T19:51:00.003+08:00

As you can see, the title is so random.. Hmm.. What am I trying to say here? Well, apparently I just received a birthday card from someone.. Take a look:

Don't you think it looks like a wedding invitation card? LoL!! Thanks to the 2 person who wrote on it :)

Alright.. This is very unexpected because (1) I do not expect to receive such thing from this person (2) My birthday is like so last month.. So, this is kind of hilarious to receive a birthday card which looks like a wedding invitation card when my birthday is over already a long time ago ~~and especially from DHL CEO who is an expert in flying airplanes (FFK)~~.. However, if you are sincere enough to give me a card, I really appreciate it! Indeed I am happy to get it even though my birthday is like so last month :X So, this explains the 1% of lateness..

In conclusion, it is still not late for everything!! As long you have the heart to do it, can do it! So.. if you ever or always wanted to do something in your life, go ahead! You are not too late!! Remember to live life to the fullest!! :D

Confidence, I'm getting you back! ;D

P.S. Happy 21st Birthday Jonathan Ho! Even though you are in Australia, I'm not seperti kacang lupakan kulit though I know many can be ;P (that's why I put his picture here lol..)

Ayam Penyet RIA at Sunway Pyramid

2009-09-06T00:58:00.001+08:00

Alright.. It's been awhile since I post about food.. So I will post about my recent visit to a new restaurant!! ;D

Introducing Ayam Penyet RIA which is just opened in Sunway Pyramid.. It is located at the Marakesh street near to the Blue Atrium.. Just see the directory if you want to know where is it :P

My first impression on the restaurant? It looks nicer and modern than the one in Mentari..

The weird thing about this place? You need to pay first for your order before your food can be prepared.. It cost us (6 people) RM60.80.. Why they do this? I think they wanted to avoid people who don't want to pay for their food cause of their complains about the over-spiciness of the sambal.. xD

Udang Penyet or translated into English as Smashed Prawn..

This is what I ordered - Ayam Penyet or Smashed Chicken (oh.. you poor chicken!!) Ayam Penyet RIA has totally degraded!! It doesn't taste as good as the one in Mentari which is just opposite Sunway Pyramid -_-"

More suprisingly, I'm able to finish up the whole plate!! This will never happen if I'm at RIA in Mentari!! The sambal is not spicy at all!! (mind you I take spicy food) The level of spiciness in Sunway Pyramid's RIA is super low compared to Mentari's RIA..

In conclusion, due to the commercialization of Ayam Penyet RIA, the quality and taste of the food fell miserably.. Compared to the one in Mentari, besides the taste of the food, the price is also more expensive and you cannot select which part of the chicken you want.. So, if you really want to taste the real good ayam penyet, go to Ayam Penyet RIA in Mentari!! (it is just opposite Sunway Pyramid)..

P.S. Congratulations to everyone who had just graduated from Monash University! :)

A Journey to be Remembered

2009-09-03T14:05:00.008+08:00

It's been a hell of a journey so far in life.. I will definitely never forget the ups & downs during this journey.. Below is a compilation of picture that I've made to try out Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 (I think Corel PSPP X2 is a dummy-proof software.. almost anyone can use it!).. The montage below is created using Corel PSPP X2, Adobe PS CS4, & MS PP 2007.

Going to Penang is certainly fun!! We had 5 meals a day (argh.. this reminds me that I have to do some exercise before I rot -_-")

If you notice that my this post is a bit different or out from my regular post, it is actually Streamyx's fault.. make me no mood at all.. It keeps disconnecting every 1 or 2 minutes..WTF!?!? I pay you so much money every month for lousy internet? Zzzz....no comments =_=" I'm exhausted.. tired of this.. just let it be..

P.S. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY WILLIE TANG!!

New found love misery..

2009-08-31T23:43:00.000+08:00

GAH! All of a sudden.. out of the blues.. I lost myself.. I lost my sense of thought.. my "geek"ness!! I fell in love with something all just because of it's physical appearances.. I felt stupid, dumb & imbecile!! How can I judge something based on its beauty? It's the inner part that matter the most.. It's just like finding true love (if it ever exist).. Say.. how can you love someone just by looking at his/her appearances? It's just like.. UGLY BETTY!!

ROFLMAO!!! Okay okay.. I leave this issue till there now.. Let's continue with the story k? =P

Introducing my new crush - Sony Ericsson W995!! I'm in love with this baby right now.. Such a nice design.. pity it had only an adequate (not-up-to-my-level) specifications.. It's sliding mechanism and aluminum brushed front (I think I have a fetish on aluminum brushed stuff looking at my laptop which have it too -_-") totally bought me!

Aside from the gorgeous design, it houses a 8.1 MegaPixel camera!! Totally AWESOME!! However, there are reviews saying that the image quality is not as good as Sony Ericsson C905 (Cyber-shot phone.. what you expect?) As you can see from the picture above, this phone also have a cute kickstand to make the phone stand

Ladies & gentleman.. Let me introduce you to Sony Ericsson C905.. Hideous from the outside, astonish in the inside! This monster is so despicably ugly but fortunately, it can take very good pictures.. It's like beauty & the beast but in this case, the beauty lives within the beast LOL.. I hate the roundish side so freaking ugly.. I like the squarish W995 better :X This is a matter of opinion so C905 owners please don't get offended ><"

So what makes me think that I'm being stupid falling in love with this phone? Well, this is so not a smartphone which I wanted to get.. The camera also produces average picture quality plus I don't think I can install Garmin on this.. Hmm.. Can I? Anyway.. enough of babbling I gotta study for my test tomorrow T.T wish me luck! xD

P.S. Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Fast-ing to Get It!!

2009-08-21T16:44:00.002+08:00

I'm not fasting but fast-ing! That means trying to be fast to get something.. err.. ok.. now I'm lost.. what is "fast"? -_-" eh.. forget it.. already got a PHD (Permanent Head Damage) from Monash...... Anyway, the story goes like this..

1:35PM
I just realized that I haven't took my lunch yet.. My stomach starting to grumble & I was thinking what to eat.. Suddenly, I thought about the chicken sold outside Indah Villa - GAH!! & then I remember that today was the last day they will do business for the month cause tomorrow the Malays are going to start fasting! I rushed out of my room hoping to get some chicken at this late.. - Fast Fast Fast - Walk walk walk very very hastily to the destination~~

1.45PM
Arrived at destination.. I was horrified looking at what's left for me to choose.. the tray for the chicken was EMPTY~ NOOOO!!!! (Looks like I got to wait for next month or so to eat the chicken again :\) But then when I look again... there's 1 more chicken left!!! Apparently those Mak Ciks put it together with the fried fish! HAH!! I was so happy that I got the last chicken~~~!!!! :D

I enjoyed my lunch very much :) It was satisfying and so.. I wonder.. I am real lucky or it is God's will to treat me with this last piece of chicken? Hmm.. well.. I don't know.. but I felt loved and so happy and happy and HAPPY!!! I'm so happy that I got that fried chicken!!!!!!!! :D

ROFLMAO.. just wanna jot down how glad I am to have this fried chicken :P alright peeps.. that's my update for now - LAME & RANDOM - ;D

Photoshopaholicious!!

2009-08-19T00:00:00.000+08:00

Well.. first of all.. this is a scheduled post just to keep my blog "alive" :P I'm getting quite used to Adobe Photoshop CS4.. It's a really great photo editing software I must say and now, I'm getting to addicted experimenting on this software.. It sort of wasting my time cause I can do other stuff like study *ehm..* =P Here are some pictures that I've edited using Photoshop..

Before

As you can see this picture is quite plain & dull (especially the color)

After

With some editing in Photoshop, the color is more vibrant & I added a little Depth of Field effect towards the background behind the bear to make the picture standout

-------------------------------------------------------------

Before

Here is a picture of my nephew :) It's quite dark as you can see.. can hardly see his face..

AfterHowever after I put some Photoshop magic into this picture, it became much more outstanding.. Now you can see his cute face and I added a little Depth of Field effect towards the background.. Cool eh? You can just fix your picture just by using Photoshop :D

So, if you ever need to edit those ugly pictures (uhm.. like yourself? JK!! :X) that you took, you can use Photoshop to beautify it! :) that includes making a fat person into a thin one (you should see Xiaxue's work at her blog *swt*) In conclusion, even though I like to spend my time on Photoshop, I am NOT - I repeat - I am NOT a super photoshopaholic like Xiaxue!! I did not edit all the pictures that I posted up in my blog -_-"

YouTube - video not available in your country

2009-08-15T18:31:00.007+08:00

If you are a frequent YouTube user, I'm sure you will come across this issue. The video that you wanted to view is not available in your country due to bla bla bla.. Alright.. this is how you bypass YouTube country filter or whatever you call that can watch the video you wanted to watch.

This example is for Malaysian YouTubians :D (but if you are reading this from other country, it is the same concept) Okay... Click the following as an example of video which cannot be viewed in Malaysia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMvrNO9fUM0&annotation_id=annotation_550087&feature=iv

After clicking on that link, you will surely get into this page.. This is just Lady GaGa's Paparazzi music video.. I think the "sex" scene in front is considered too obscene to be viewed by Malaysians or something -_-"

Alright let's get straight to the point. Just follow these simple steps:

[1] Firefox - Download and install this browser

[2] FoxyProxy - Install this add-on after installing Firefox (I included this in this tutorial because it is more convenient as you can save the proxy server and use it the next time by just clicking on it)

[3] Then, go to this website: http://www.samair.ru/proxy/type-01.htm and find the country that have a high probability to be able to view the video.. For this case, I will pick United States.. In the US proxy list, let's say I choose "72.249.125.129:8080" (This proxy might not work now, so it's better to go to the website and select a fresh proxy)

[4] Once you installed FoxyProxy, open Options and Add New Proxy. Under General tab, type in a Proxy Name for example "USA Proxy".

[5] Then, head ahead to the Proxy Details tab and under Manual Proxy Configuration, paste the IP address you copied earlier into the Host or IP Address box - "72.249.125.129" and the "8080" to the Port box. To make thing simple here is a screenshot:

[6] After you have done the steps above, click OK (and everything is going to be OK :D) Right-click on the FoxyProxy bar below Firefox or wherever you may placed it and click Use proxy "USA Proxy" for all URLs.

[7] Go surf whatever video you want which cannot be viewed in Malaysia like the link I posted before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMvrNO9fUM0&annotation_id=annotation_550087&feature=iv

TADAA!! You should be able to view the video!! xD Enjoy~

[*] If you cannot load the page at all then change into a different proxy. Keep trying until you get the right proxy server :)

[*] Make sure you Completely disable FoxyProxy after watching the videos.. If not you will experience slow internet surfing if the proxy server is slow

The Rise of Cobra hiss

2009-08-14T15:00:00.004+08:00

The first time I ever watch the trailer for the new GI Joe movie, I thought it will be quite boring.. However.. after watching this movie, I find it is better than Transformers 2!! Well.. the ending is so much better and the unpredictability (the part when the President goes underground - you know what I mean if you watch this movie ~ I don't wanna be a spoiler :X) of the movie makes it a nicer movie to watch.. Transformers is too straight forward towards the end.. halfway through and it became BORING!! -_-"

Alright.. here's my cobra in the movie, the Baroness ~ hisss!! IMHO, Sienna Miller is way sexier than Megan Fox!! She can easily blow Megan Fox to pieces!! xD

Hahaha.. enough of sarcasm :P I'm just expressing my own view.. So.. all those Megan Fox fan out there, I know it's hard to say this but.. sorry!! I know she is "hot" but she is nothing compared to Sienna Miller!! :X Such a random post xD till then and..

Dreams.. What do they mean?

2009-08-13T11:37:00.007+08:00

I've been thinking a lot lately about whether should I get a digital camera or a new phone with a good picture taking capability.. But today.. I have a weird dream..

I dreamt that I bought Olympus E-P1 together with its accessories worth RM6k+ (in reality, the price of this camera only is RM2,999 without the extra accessories.. maybe if plus the full accessories for this camera it will be RM6k+?) This is a very weird dream.. How can I still remember the price that I bought it? The images of my dream is blur but I can remember that I have this dream..

So now I have a question in mind.. What are dreams? Are they trying to convey a message? Are they trying to tell me that I should get Olympus E-P1? This is really ridiculous!! Why Olympus E-P1? Why this exact same digital camera that appeared in my dream.... WEIRD!!! So now I should buy Olympus E-P1 instead of a phone? Am I going crazy??

It's...7!!

2009-08-06T00:01:00.008+08:00

It's August & it is going to be a busy month! It is also the 7th month in Chinese calendar which means.. you know lah~! :P With assignments and presentation, there will be not much of time for updating my blog (as if I'm updating it frequently :X) This post is quite a geeky one so bear with it if you don't understand a single thing I'm saying ;P

So lately I've been posting up bad things about my laptop.. Well, I managed to fix it for the mean time.. Actually it's my own fault for my laptop to malfunction =X I've installed Windows 7 Release Candidate 2 just to try out the new operating system (I'm so attached to it right now) However, Windows 7 was not the problem.. it is the graphic card driver which is causing the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) (cause I installed a driver for Windows Vista LoL) All those days of experiencing constant BSOD when watching a movie is over! Now I can enjoy the full glory of Windows 7 in my lappie :)

So why I am so attached with Windows 7? First of all, there is a button at the end of the taskbar (as you can see from the picture above) which acts as the Show desktop function.. I find this very convenient as I just need to simply point my mouse at the right end corner of my screen to Show desktop.. This has became a habit of mine! When I'm using the university's computer (Windows XP), I will keep point the cursor to the right end and click it hoping it will Show desktop (this happens all the time -_-")..

In Windows 7, you will get a shiny new Windows Media Player which one of its new function is to Preview a song.. Let's say you forget how a song sounds like.. You just need to click on the Preview button and to listen to it & you can Skip it forward slowly to refresh your memory about that particular song.. Useless at some point but it's better than nothing xD

This is a feature that you gotta love in Windows 7!! It allows you to select a number of pictures you want it as your wallpaper.. Then you set the time (15 minutes interval for example) you want your wallpaper to be switched and viola! Every 15 minutes, Windows 7 will change your wallpaper for you automatically based on the pictures that you selected before.. Pretty neat feature as it is needless to get a third-party software to switch your wallpaper for you

& if you are bored at looking at the wallpaper which is currently displayed in your desktop before the time you set it to change, you can simply right-click and select a new background.. Well.. this switching wallpaper function is definitely appealing to me as I don't like to see the same wallpaper each time I see my laptop (well this can be seen as a lazy person's thing :X)

Well.. I know most probably you do not know what I'm saying at all in this post but I don't care much! I just want you to know that Windows 7 is great (like 7 times better than Vista)! Upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista if you will when it's out cause it eat lesser RAM and does not reduce your HDD's lifespan :) 7 FTW!!! xD

Unforgettable Moments in Monash: Part I

2009-07-29T23:12:00.004+08:00

In order to keep my blog "interesting" & alive, I decided to post some unforgettable moments I experienced in Monash :P

First stop, ENH2407 Authorship & Writing. This is one of the craziest subject that I will never forget! The lecturer Dr A is so evilly nice -.-" No further comments - I don't want to get killed or ~~raped~~ something.. xD

The assignment of this subject is so dreadful that you will need to ask for another extension after Dr A gave an extension LOL.. it was horrible!! there is only 1 assignment for this subject and this assignment is worth 50% of total marks for this subject!! Many failed the assignment including myself -.-" Moreover, Dr A is so strict & evil in marking our assignments!!

This is what Dr A commented on my assignment ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Final words: I am happy that I passed this subject :) it was hell of a great experience to get through this subject.. Alright then.. catch yer next time folks

Ehm..

2009-07-25T00:02:00.001+08:00

Just another lame random post to keep the spiders out of my web..

Eff..

TransformERRS TOOT..

2009-07-09T23:57:00.002+08:00

Been out of town for awhile and YES! Finally I have some internet connection! =) Ahh.. maybe for just awhile.. Alright now.. I just wanted to express my opinion about Michael Bay's new wretched movie.. yes.. yes.. it's Transformers 2 & it's wretched alright!! (Please note that this post is totally IMHO [In My Humble Opinion]) BTW, the title of the post "TOOT".. just think of censorship.. :P

Well first of all, I highly anticipate to watch this movie ever since the trailer was out (I can still remember talking to Mr J where he anticipate Terminator Salvation while I anticipate Transformers 2).. I was truly very very very very disappointed with the ending of this movie!! About the rest.. it was mediocre EXCEPT certain scenes (maybe like the cool gadgets transforming and such & Megan Fox.. .. .. she was fine alright?! okay.... maybe she is just a little too much ;P)..

This movie have some humors (ok.. I laughed for a sec) and soft porno (Megan Fox that is.. I mean like.. why Michael Bay wanted to waste a few extra seconds by slow motioning the part where Megan Fox is running with her boyfriend ~~where you can see her b00bies bouncing~~ at the ending part of the movie? DAMN YOU VILE PERVERTED DIRECTOR!! You should have skip this part & just make a better ending for this movie you wretched imbecile perverted director!! I know you are horny but please don't infect our young minds [Transformers was originally for kids which means there are tons of children watching this movie!] with these soft porno scenes!)..

The movie also fails to catch my full attention.. As a result, I got bored halfway through the movie (hmm.. maybe that perverted director purposely slots in the soft porno scenes to overcome the boring part of the film).. Well this definitely doesn't happen in The Dark Knight though!! (this movie is one of the best & brilliant movie I ever watched and did not regret paying it to watch in the cinema xD).. 'nuff said.. Michael Bay, you screw it this time and I really appreciate it if you don't screw Transformers 3!! (GAH!! Maybe I expect too much from this movie.. Hmm.. maybe its an effect of taking authorship or film studies.. BLASTED!)

Oh yes.. If you noticed my little change of language usage in this post, I've learned it from Stewie (Family Guy) VICTORY IS MINE!! xD

Just a thought of mind..

2009-06-28T23:57:00.002+08:00

After enduring the excruciating agony of examination, I'm feeling neither happy nor sad when I finished my last paper.. I felt indifferent.. Okay whatever I don't care much about that now.. I have make a choice.. Alright this deeply reminds me of Consumer Behavior (zZz!!) For example:

-----------------------This part is very lame-----------------------

1. I'm not brand loyal because the choices I narrowed down includes Samsung, a brand I never use before

2. I have quite a low score in consumer dogmatism and also an innovator because I am willing to accept and buy this new technology when it comes out into the market (these two phones are the only phone which sports a 12MP camera & it haven't been released yet into the market)

3. I may experience several perceived risks when making a decision which includes functional risk, physical risk, financial risk, and time risk

4. So in order to handle these risks, I can choose to remain brand loyal (I owned Sony Ericsson's phone before) or seek information (GSMArena) to make sure my decision is the correct one

----------------------Enough of this nonsense----------------------

Alright.. to the point.. I narrowed down my list that I can think of and finally, there is only 2 remain prominent - Samsung M8910 Pixon12 & Sony Ericsson Satio.. I made this decision because I always want to have a decent camera.. A camera would be great (especially the dSLRs) but I thought again.. If I have a standalone camera, I will not always bring it out too (those dSLRs are so big and bulky).. So, the best alternative is to have a good camera phone and these two wicked phones sports 12MP camera (size does not matter) whcih shoots out a decent quality picture which can be compared to a compact camera (check out GSMArena's review on these babies)..

So.. now, I got the choice of this:

Samsung M8910 Pixon12

-OR-

Sony Ericsson Satio

-OR-

I just get a bulky camera which I don't bring it along everywhere and snaps pictures with a great picture quality.. Hmm..

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

So am I making the correction decision now? Help me! I don't know whether to choose Samsung or Sony Ericsson! =(

P.S. Both phones will not be available to consumers until after the 2nd quater of 2009 ;\ - by then, more phones will pop out & change my mind about these 2 silly phones -_-"

It's Porridge Time!..

2009-06-07T23:05:00.001+08:00

Fine fine.. I'll update! First off, it's been a hell of a month.. I managed to survive 3 weeks without having chicken in my diet!! YES!! It's an accomplishment and I'm proud of it!! xD

Alright, people tend to eat porridge when they sick.. so.. if you are a student living around Sunway area, I'm warning you not to try the porridge in Medan aka Rock Cafe!! No offense but it really tasted ~~horribly horrible~~!! Ok.. I take that back.. Medan Porridge Uncle, please don't chop me!! Apparently my taste buds are still working when I ate the porridge ;D

Alternatives? The closest to my place that I can think of is Porridge Time in Sunway Pyramid's Asian Avenue.. It opened recently.. So, if you are the type of person who eat porridge occasionally, you should try this place out

Since I'm on a tight diet, I choose Fish Porridge xD Please be reminded that it will taste better if you eat is with Yu Tiao.. (I hope you know what it is LoL)

Porridge Time is located just next to Pasta Zanmai at the top floor of Sunway Pyramid's blue atrium site.. The price is reasonable (the difference is not much compared to Medan's :P) and it tasted much better for me & & & I don't recommend you here if you don't like poriddge because it will just taste like all those porridge porridge.. you'll get what I mean ;P

Alright.. exam is just around the corner and I don't think I will be updating my blog anytime soon.. Cheers! :)

One Bad Luck in My Life..

2009-05-14T23:43:00.001+08:00

I know I shouldn't be doing this right now but I think it is the best moment to write up a post since I want to *express* my thoughts and my feelings..

I'm in the state of agony right now.. my head felt like it's going to crack.. I can feel something poking my skull constantly.. but luckily.. the painkiller alleviate the pain slowly.. So this is how I'm feeling right now (I hope I can remember this feeling in the future)

Imagine that you are trapped in your room looking out the window every minute feeling restless and with nothing but hoping to recuperate faster and wishing that you can be fit as you can be, walking around, running, jumping & etc.. I hope you won't feel like that..

I crave for the fried chicken sold by the Malay stall across the road, outside my apartment.. Just few minutes walk!! I just can't wait to bite the unhealthy, oily, fresh, succulent, & delicious chicken flesh into my mouth.. GAHH!! which I can't for the moment -_-" I know that I need to stay off those unhealthy food to recover faster..

My life is so miserable right now.. I want to eat the fried chicken but I can't.. GAHH!! I hate the taste of porridge in Medan.. After I took a bite, I straight away lost my appetite.. It's horrible~!! What's more? I need to walk at least half a kilometre to get to Medan.. -excruciating- (the doctor told me to rest but I'm restless which worsen my sickness - oh great.. now I'll never get my chicken -_-")

I really want the fried chicken!! @@ GAH.. that's the only thoughts that I want to share now.. Going back to bed.. Goodnight.. & incase I don't see ya, Good Morning, Good Evening & Goodnight!!

P.S. Please bear my grammar and spelling mistakes for this post

7th May 2009 is one of the craziest day I've ever experience & I will never repeat it ever again.. It was the day my INT1010 assignment 2 due.. and.. I only started writing the essay on that day.. -_-" I managed to finish it and handed it on time (actually 5 minutes late :P)..

The day after, I decided to go back to Malacca (to see the Wesak day's procession & celebrate Mother's day).. As far as I can remember.. all I did during these 4 days in Malacca is..

eat..

..eat..

.. & eat!!! xD

Guess what is this? Don't be deceived by the word "Cappuccino".. It's actually cendol.. LOL!! ;P

WoW.. just great.. -_-"

It is the wrong time of the month to start playing online game & got addicted to it.. I have tons of assignment piling up and yet I still don't have the motivation to start doing it ;\

World of Warcraft (WoW).. It's entertaining yet killing me as I will keep procrastinating my assignments!! :X

Actually.. If you were wondering.. "what so nice about this game"? Okay.. It's a cool game because you can kill other players in this game (blood everywhere!! muahahahahaa!!!!!) xD Just look at the graphic.. it's very nice for a MMORPG game..

People.. stop procrastinating (like me! =P) and start doing your work!! Well.. I gotta start on my assignment too.. somehow.. =D WORK! WORK!! WORK!!!

P.S. This is wicked sick ~ Led Zeppelin's Kashmir in violin, love it!! xD:
