Death of Blog?

2011-11-13T20:18:00.002+08:00

Readers would probably notice that I haven't been updating this blog for a very long time now. My life is not as busy as until the point that I would not have time to post an update. It's just that I don't want to, I don't feel like posting it here anymore, most of my happenings and news are on Facebook now (as friends would notice).

2011 has been very kind to me. Perth has been great to me! I'm learning something new everyday and gaining more and more experience in this life. I can say that I am very happy! :)

Oh Mai Oh Mai!

2011-04-09T16:45:00.002+08:00

I didnt really notice how time flies by, its been more than a month since my last post, and if you notice, I don't have any post in March!

Many things has happen, I've been pretty occupied with work and studies, its all good!
I'll try to update more often (cant really promise that) when I have the time, perhaps maybe next week when all my assignments are submitted~~ Till then...

Its just the beginning.

2011-02-21T22:01:00.009+08:00

Ok, as most of you know or to those who don't know, I'm currently residing in Perth, Im doing my Masters of Commerce (Information System) in Curtin University. Im here with my Sister, who is continuing her Chemical Engineering Degree here. Its been almost 2 weeks, and finally, Im updating something on my blog.

Anyways, before i start, how do you find my new Blog Banner???! Its cute right??! Drew Dino with MS Paint was easy and fun.

Ok, the first thing we did the day we arrive was get our banking and telecommunications settled, both me and my sis are signed on Vodafone with our Samsung Galaxy S (awesome phone btw fyi) and tada~
This was the FIRST picture that my new phone took! Its Owner~ Woot! LOL
Once everything was settled, now its on to Curtin and start doing all the enrollment stuffs, and heres a view on my timetable... great right?!! I only have evening classes and some of my Saturdays are Filled with class, that my friends, are intensive classes, means the lecture are not regular, only on some weekends. Once that is settled, time to get all the groceries and useful stuffs.
And treat ourselves to some fattening bubble tea... Relax and chill~
Of course to Skype with Family too! Owh, did i Mention, my Galaxy S has a blue Cover, um, thats coz the Green was too ugly, and black, grey and white seems so bland, so I got a bright Blue!
And cook too~ Broccoli and Cheese, one of my Fave not really healthy dish but looks healthy coz got veggie!
And Valent's Birthday, we went to Outback Jack's for Lunch! wanted to go to Jus Burgers, sadly its not open yet, so we each ordered burgers, almost every burger on the menu was on our table, and there was a fat guy trying the 1KG Steak Challenge, he was eating so slowly yet he WON! Damn! AUD 40++ no need to pay! OMG! i wanna try next time! XD
And discovered Bananas are suddenly so expensive coz of the Floods...

Chap Goh Mei Time and we are away from our families, all we have is each other, so we went out to have some good old Chinese food!
At Wong Hawker's Food
With these 3~ My Sis, who is a meat eater, Sylvia and Han, who ate lots of rice.
We were served by a very very very very very very very very very very VERY friendly waitress, she kept saying shes not the boss of the place... ok, we get it.
Claypot everything, got seafood, beef, toufu, mushrooms and veggies
Sweet And Sour Pork! Direct translation would be 甜酸猪!
Belacan Lady Finger! this one not bad!
Obviously everything was nice coz we cleaned our plates, almost as clean as the ones being cleaned by a dishwasher! (ok, mayb thats too much of exaggeration)

And the weekend...
Followed Jun to a church group outing... I feel foreign coz im the only one who was a non-believer, i've always been a science guy who looks at facts and figures..
Everyone, cant remember all their names, but If u show me their face or picture, i can!
I like taking pictures of flowers and stuffs! one of my sis's friend also did the same, and my sis asked us, why u guys likes to take pictures of flowers, we said, pretty ma~
Oh, btw fyi, this is Murdoch University, according to someone in the group, this university is not as big as Curtin, but its kinda big too... make some sense to me..
Ya, its big!
And they have Sculptures that most ppl wont and dont value...
But flowers are always pretty~
Im in CBS(Curtin Business School) , this is MBS.

We arrived at Fremantle and first stop was Round House! And
I WANT THIS CAR! its and AUDI A5!(wonder does this one have Quattro and SLine Sports Package?) I will like totally get this car if i got a bunch of money! time to dump bunch of money in investment and term deposits! XD
Round House, suppose to be a prison, however, it was too small to be one... there was a lot of prisoners ba...
And I do wonder what's the purpose of this giant pole.
Ah~ Breath taking~
Anyone wanna buy a boat?! We saw one, 295K, quite big! not bad, can buy if got extra money! haahahaha. (I definitely wont coz i dun like traveling by Sea)
Prison?! O_o
Cottesloe Beach! one of the best beaches in the world! Yea, I like how it looks and how the water feels!
Once thats done, its off to King's Park and Lunch.
After Lunch walk.
Pretty flowers again~
Testing my phone's Panoramic shot at Commonwealth bank near Westfield Carousel.

Oh, thank goodness me and my sis didnt go to Murray Street's Branch, if we did our lives may be threatened.
Check the News out...

I realized...

2011-02-19T23:33:00.002+08:00

Regrets are the worst thing to have, If someone were to ask me, did you regret meeting someone in your life? I would say yes and no. Why? As I may regret knowing some people, people whom I disregard now but were once people whom are so close to me, these are the people that made me realized that there are a whole lot of different kinds of people that I will meet in my lifetime, some are for keeps, some are just bygones. Humans are just humans, we say Hi and Bye to people too easily, as for those beloved ones, Byes are often too hard. There is never a GOOD bye, parting is always bad, yet it opens up new possibilities, so, thats why when I do say I regret meeting some people, they made me feel horrible for a period of time, however, when I think about it, these people made me so much stronger as they are discards to provide me my life lessons... I guess some sacrifices are meant to be.

Let me settle down for awhile..

2011-02-12T00:18:00.001+08:00

I reached Perth last night, didnt have the chance to update on my Chinese New Year Celebrations and Happenings, I'll do so when I have the time, now Im just too tired to do anything now... nites

I love to Eat but don't like getting Fat

2011-01-30T17:26:00.005+08:00

Its that time again, everyone is starting to flock back to their hometown, getting ready for Chinese New Year, Soaking everything in Red and Hanging it all over the house. Buying Mandarin Oranges and stuffing the fridge with Beer and other assorted canned drinks. Wearing Red from head to toe, even bras, underwears, and socks. Its really that time again, over eating, over drinking and over gambling - Happens once a year, Chinese New Year.

This coming CNY will be the rabbit year, means my cousin Sheron will be 24. The eating festive has begun even before the celebration itself, well, at least for my family.. before going into that, i seriously think that Japanese are just so CUTE!
get what i meant yet?
ITS A BABY ASAHI!!!! (Asahi is one of my Fave Beers)
Look Look Look! I dont have a regular canned Asahi, so Im comparing it with a Regular Heineken. the Japanese are just so Cute right?!
135ML, its like they make it for Children or babies! Asahi for everyone! SO CUTE!
yesterday night had dinner with one of my close neighbour and family friend. We had been good neighbours for almost 10 years! Helping and looking out for each other is just such a neighbourly thing to do~
Of course, a dinner like this must have special beverages as well.
Mmmmm....~ Pork~
Mmmmm.... Nestum Buttered Prawns~
Mmmm....~ Aunties Eating~
Mmmmm~~... ????????
Mmmmm~ Beef~
Mmmm~ Fish~
Mmmm~ Some Prawns which i dunno how to translate it to English. (Lai Niao Har)

It was a just eat and talk night. She's leaving to Ipoh for CNY soon, so she wanted to have a Reunion dinner with the people she is close with in Labuan before leaving.
So there you have it... this is just the beginning, tonight... another one... ~~

Mmmm~

Its not the SAME

2011-01-25T20:47:00.003+08:00

The only reason I did this post is to get the Image URL. hahaha...
Previously, my D900 got spoiled, the ribbon needs to be changed, so i ordered the ribbon.
Who knows its not the same, the supplier told me its the same, but its not... clearly its not!
Heres the top part connection...
and the lower part..

Thats it, I just want the image URL to be able to show it to the Supplier... :D

No Cure..

2011-01-20T17:59:00.002+08:00

Woke up, body sore. Today is my rest day. Time spent at doing absolutely nothing at all, not even exercise. Not feeling so well, thank goodness for rest day... Feel so sick not even Nutella or Chachos can cure me... :(

Resistance to Change

2011-01-17T20:49:00.002+08:00

Ok, new Zodiac, not bothered, since its not applicable to me anyways. I choose to believe what I want to, not what I am told. :D

Anyways, just received an email that my student visa has been approved. Air tickets purchased. I guess the next Phase of my life will begin soon. Most ppl I know are working now, yet here I am, on Holiday for 6 months and further studies for another 2 years.

I have goals to achieve, I'll make sure I get where I want to be..

What do I smell Like..?

2011-01-10T14:20:00.002+08:00

I smell like sweat! Sourly, wet and just like a dog, mm... that's what I smell like after workout.

I have a history of cologne, most I've used are light and not that strong, the strongest was Polo Double Black and Davidoff Cool Water. Although some might prefer the much MANLIER scent, where Dunhill and Burberry comes into picture, I avoid these Ah Pek smell coz they remind me of my grandpa. :D
Well, My Last was Versace. This smells real good, I really loved it, Actually, I wanted to get the SAME bigger bottle, unfortunately, the store is out of stock. Why not try something else?
After Givenchy and YSL, I made up my mind, when it comes to purchasing these things,the first scent is important. Sniff Sniff... Issey Miyake was the choice~ It smells pretty and falls within the range of my approved scents. So i got the biggest bottle (Coz going to Perth and I dont wanna smell bad there~)
Its 125ML, double of the Versace, the box looks big and tall... only to my surprise...
Its the Freaking Cover that is tall! =__=

What do you sell like?

WiiWii is Back and Alive!

2011-01-09T22:12:00.003+08:00

As most of my friends know, WiiWii is back! WiiWii was sick for a few months and now its all better, if a motherboard is the heart of all electronics, then WiiWii just had a heart transplant.
First of All... Mmm~ Home Made Fish and Chips~ Thanks to Sophia Tang for the fish, you've worked hard~!
Now back to WiiWii
I was super paranoid when the ~~Wii repairman~~ Surgeon said he fixed, packed and shipped WiiWii back to Labuan, given the tracking number, I was tracking the parcel every 2 hours! (except the time where I was sleeping) the next day, It arrived in Labuan but I am still waiting for it to arrive home. Then it DID!
Wrapped in the same box i shipped it in, its back, but with a large Fragile Sticker and a New Heart. WiiWii used to have a KOREAN heart, now, its JAPANESE but English Educated.
The System was reverted to 4.2U (U means US version, thats why i said Japanese but English Educated). The motherboard was a Japanese set but the firmware was tweaked to English, typical huh... Since the Nand Chip is built with the Motherboard, all the saved files are GONE! all my hard work, my time spent... all GONE, had to start playing all the games and finish them before i go to Perth... is it even possible??????

iBananaCookies

2011-01-06T20:05:00.004+08:00

So um, 2 days ago, I went out with Cindy to get ingredient for Banana Cookies. Ok,if you find that idea weird and feel that its disgusting, I can tell you that you are wrong! because the end result was delicious. Just google for Banana Cookies. :D

The Idea actually came up after I asked Cindy what Cookies we will be baking, she suggested a fruit.. banana... the idea was weird at first and we thought it was so Weird and it wouldnt taste nice, We put 1.5 bananas instead of 2. I ate the 0.5... :D
The Recipe was actually from the net, but not banana cookies, the base was chocolate chip walnut oatmeal cookies which Cindy did make a few weeks ago. I had some and the blueberries was nice and not that sweet.
The batter was super sticky + the cut banana which is sticky too. 2 sticky ingredients, very hard to work with.
Set the oven to 150 and for 15 minutes...
Vuallaaaaa!~~~~ It may look yucky, but the texture is NICE! seriously! Its soft! and not crunchy! just nice, kinda like those soft cookies. Its not hard coz we forgot to put...
Yea, we dont have these to make the cookies hard, the BANANAS are SOFT because theres no ENHANCERS! therefore the BANANAS cant get HARD!

There were good ones and bad ones, the bad ones end up a bit burnt.
Failed "Bree" Cover.
Failed Failed Cover...

Overall, we discovered Bananas can be added into the recipe and turn it into Banana Cookies. Will be adding more exotic fruits into the recipe next time, and oh.. this too...
Wonder what happens if guys eat the cookies with these crushed in them huh.. :D

2010 Wrap Up

2011-01-01T12:40:00.010+08:00

Happy New Year everyone! 2011 will be another wonderful year, lets look back at what I have done in 2010. Nothing much, still events happened in my 365 days of 2010.

The Best Chinese New Year Yet, with only few of us Back for the CNY, 2010 was a wild and noisy CNY, i guess the coming CNY with everyone's back will have to top this. WITH MORE WINE AND BEER!
Yea, I guess 2011 CNY have to top 2010's. Looking forward to it... Oh yea...

Due to the reason that most of my first half of 2010's picture were in my phone which got lost, I had no pictures to remind me of certain events, I'll just do with what I have...

The first half of 2010 was my Final Semester in UTP, completing my Degree and leaving UTP for good. I do say I miss all the people there, not the place. Having brain storming sessions of where to have dinner and lunch everytime was not a joy for me. and Due to the Big dumbass mistake I did in 2009, made me sway away from the Engineering students of my batch.
Went out a whole loads with my bestie Sangari. Really will miss working with her, we made the best Project, Assignments and Homework Team! With only 4 courses left in our final semester, we had plenty of time to go out and hang out just to chat. The most eventful was the night we went out for Vodka, just the 2 of us. It was nice.
And this Gal too. Meera. Due to the reason that most Indian's have finished their semester, leaving only Sangari and Meera, Me and my roommate Ken Vinn did hang out a lot with them. Understanding Indian Culture furthermore. It was hard parting with them, I do remember our Dramatic-Train-Leaving-While-Chasing-And-Waving-And-Yelling-At-The-Same-Time in Batu Gajah's KTM station.
These pictures were taken by Sangari, as I mentioned, there were a lot of outings, but I lost my phone in Kampar. which brings us to it...

Yea, my first and not final Japanese Phone. A Keitai imported from the land of the rising sun. SH-01B.
It was a pretty phone and a powerful one too. Fell so in love with it and waited so long for it, sadly, I lost it in Kampar when I came back to UTP during June 2010 for the Petronas Interview. There were tons of pictures in it coz I just love using its 12.1 MP camera. Now, Its all lost... and a month later, I got another one, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER I BOUGHT THE SAME PHONE.... TWICE!
Not to mention those gathering and outings with my Labuan Childhood friends. This one in the picture is Ben, I known him for... um.... since forever? We dont get along when we first met in Primary 3, but after that as time goes by, all of that went away.
And Charlene too, this was taken by her Friend who came visit Labuan after their Mount Kinabalu Triumph. Since it was after UTP, I had loads of time to make arrangements for them. I was so helpful that when we all first met, Charlene's friend thought i was a salesman in the liquor store.
Fairuz got Married~ He was one of my Senior in my Tuition at Aunt Yeu Chu's place when I was a kid. Not only that, He's my relative too (Yea, almost everyone in Labuan is related to me, Even CINDY LIEW! YEA thats right! LOL!)
Won Silver Medal in EDX for my final year project. Everyone's a winner. Miss the potato chip munching during the event. BIS students are the noisiest bunch. This proves it doesnt have to be Quantity over Quality. XD
Speaking of which...
Had my hair lighten for the first time until the Guard's in UTP keep bothering me about how BLONDE my hair is... ITS NOT BLONDE BA! Colour BLIND! they obviously never met Paris Hilton. That picture was taken in Jan 06's batch dinner, unfortunately not everyone in Jan 06 was there, the food was so so and the event was not all that fun and impactful. People do thought I was a tourist there who got lost... =__=
We did went for Beer after that. Hahahaha... Me, Sangari and Jared did. And I had Budweiser for the first time.
Speaking of Beer, my final semester in UTP made me some new friends, had a chat session over beer with my newly profound Vietnamese friend Dat, another culture exchanging session. It was near the end of the semester and i still had loads of beer stock up in my cupboard.

And who says Alcohol dont bring people together. Alcohol is the elixir that makes people more sociable and fun. This was when Jun's friends came to Labuan for the holidays. We all had Wine and Beer. And drinking games. It was fun. The 1 hour of cleaning with my mom before they came was worth it.
Speaking of KK, i went there quite a few times this year, twice or trice. Once, was just to visit the Empty Suria Sabah. It was pretty EMPTY. Another time was to get a bit tipsy and went for the IELTS interview.(Which i got 7.5 for academic btw) Both trip was short but fun.
I've also Built a tall Uno Stacko tower which later got ran over by a remote control car. Played a lot with my brother on the Wii and tutor him during the holidays. He cried plentiful and I enjoyed my lecturing session.
I've also painted my room, and my sis's room. Mine was to retouch the non-green-ness of the room while my sis was a transformation from PINK to YELLOW. Improved my painting skills, certainly know my work has surpassed my dad's sloppy workmanship.
Hadnt had this for a long time, 2010 was the time for me to reminisce. Tarap, Talap Tarrap, Tallap. A fruit that not known by many because its RARE! I also had the fruit loved by many...
DURIAN~ Many people dont like it, but those who love it, LOVE it to the max!
Joined the Egg painting competition with my brother during the Borneo Art Festival and Lost to a whole lot bunch of kids. My BEE SUCKS, I still adore it though... XD
Another Family event where my Uncle Frank Foo came back to Labuan with his son Daniel. The Siblings were reunited again~
All grown up old, still family.
And I had the most unbearable Alcohol of all, the Mongolian Milk Liquor that Uncle Simon brought back, according to him, the Chinese in China drink this by Shots. Even 10ml for me is excruciating... it BURNS and its freaking 50+% alcohol, heavier than any alcohol i had ever had.
When Jared came to Labuan for work, I acted as his guide as well, and Peace Park was flooded for the first time. Everything was SO WET!
2010 was also the year for me to go to Perth. My first visit to Down Under.
Feeding Kangaroos in Caversham and got lost for hours with my 2 cousins and Andy. It was not pleasant, however I doubt any of us will forget it soon enough as Fields was trespassed, Free Samples were Stolen and Iphones were out of battery due to the excessive usage of GPS.
Been to Coles and Woolworths. Became in love with the whole structure and the mannerism of the people there.
Took pictures of pretty flowers.
Conquered Most parts of King's Park myself on Foot.
and Kayaked with full power on the river overlooking Perth City. The 2 weeks in Perth was memorable. In fact, Im going to Perth again in 2011, this coming February 10th, for my Master Studies. Another 2 years for me! Aiming for PHD! woott!
I have so much free time and ideas that I made my life's biggest burger, not the biggest in the world, but the biggest I made. Custom made Buns, Patty and garnish. It was DE-LI-CIOUS!.

I have also graduated in October. I can say this roadtrip from KLIA to Ipoh had brought my family closer, especially me and my dad's relation. Less conflicts now as we understand each other more now.
I am finally a graduate with a Degree holder and continuing my studies this year in Curtin, Bentley.
Even a degree holder or a professor with 10 PHD makes mistakes right? I have certain made a whole lot of mistakes in 2010, like Broke a lot of Mixing bowls, Bowls, pots and pot covers, nothing to top it off like to accidentally updated my modified Wii's Firmware. A super genius move that even Einstein wont do. Near the end of 2010 i was without fun and entertainment, and desperate searching for Software modification to fix my Wii. I found one and in 2011, it will be fixed. If not, Im coming up with a new console in 2012. hahahahaha...
So, what have I done the whole time during November and December?
Ragnarok Online! to be specific,I played on a private server, RebirthRO on Loki. Together with my Cousin Sophia and my sis. As usual, I take on supportive role as a High Priest. This game has been around for more than 7 years!
Maxed Level to 255 with loads of intensive training and did some quests along the way.
No 3rd Job yet, looking forward to the 3rd Job implementation. (thats just a sprite pack btw)
HAD FUN in the Endless Tower quest. We went All Out!
I've also volunteer for Hainam Association's 120 anniversary event, as a scorekeeper during the tournaments and a backstage worker. I've also represented my grandpa to cut the ribbon during the officiating ceremony, which means, my pictures were in the Newspaper.
We also sang out loud with Karen Kong, and had a wonderful time, it was tiring yet worthwhile.

I guess that should be all that I did in 2010, 2011 I had a lot to work on. I am happy that Cindy and Charlene had notice certain changes on my body, I will totally work harder to achieve my goals. Also, to have better health in both physical and mental.
Wish that more great things will come in 2011~

Have a nice day everyone!

Ok, so what's the next step?

2010-11-27T10:46:00.004+08:00

So I was saying my Wii was bricked, and there is no way i could start finding ways to fix it before figuring which version it is currently on and to perform a Savemii procedure.
I ordered a set of Tri-wing screwdrivers and it has not arrived yet, so my mom borrowed a screwdriver kit with tons of different screw driver heads inside, and they do have one Tri-Wing head inside, lucky me...
Thats the screwdriver
This is a Tri-Wing Screw head, it looks like a Mercedes-Benz Logo..
This is my original GameCube controller...
The trick is, to plug the GameCube controller into the 4th slot in the Wii, then press all 4 directional pads together.
The reason I opened up this controller because like any other, it has a Nipple in the middle which disallow players to press all 4 directions... So, removing the shell...
I get a naked controller which 4 directions are accessible, pressing it with a square object (in my case, a GameCube memory card)
And now I know my version... 4.3 USA, will try to find out the next step~

Don't Know, Don't Care

2010-11-15T15:55:00.002+08:00

Albert Einstein once said..

“I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!”

Well, I've always been someone who would want to know and care about things that doesn't relate to me, that has changed a few years back. Yes, I still like to worry, but keep in mind, what I worry about is on myself, anything that is relating to me, I will worry.

Nowadays, if someone told me something that I have no interest about or something that does not concern myself, I would say: "Don't Know, Don't Care". Yea, something that I've learned from my dear friend Sangari, she would say this to me everytime I tell her something that doesn't concern her.

Its true actually, if someone asked you if you know about the big project going on, I would say, Don't Know, Don't Care. Why would I say so? Because, I don't know anything about the project, I don't care about it and even if i know or care about it, it doesn't really matter.

It may be Ignorant or Arrogance, but I'd raise my glass and give a toast and say - "Don't Know! Don't Care! Cheers!"

WiiWii Died??

2010-11-11T18:27:00.002+08:00

Previously, I've mentioned that my Wii had faced an Update Error. Unfortunately, the shop owner told me it cannot be fixed. Turning to the Internet, not wanting to face the fact that my WiiWii has 100% passed away, I searched for remedies to fix it. I found a few ways to fix this, and this will be my project for now, as an Information System Tech Geek, to fix it. (Yea Yea, I know, Information System has nothing to do about Hardware fixing, but people's perception is different, they think people who studies IT or IS WILL know how to fix a computer or a washing machine... thats so not true)

Anyways, I will try to fix my Wii! Not as an Information System Tech Geek, but a Wii Owner!

Full time Worrier!

2010-11-08T17:34:00.004+08:00

As much as I like the weather to be always clear and cooling, toast unburnt, and laptop that never runs out of battery. Everything that doesn't need worrying, I will make sure that it is worried!

A few things has been in my mind these few days and today in particular I had the most worry. So much that I did not even have time for my regular routine of exercising. See how worrying can ruin my life?
Worries such as - How will my IELTS result turn out? Why can't a "certain" gomen section just leave me alone? Will my application for next year Masters be successful? How is my Wii now? and so on...

Not to say I enjoy worrying, it is somehow in my blood to worry, people often tell me, don't worry, you'll be just fine, don't worry, be happy... I know I'll be just fine, but I can't change the fact if something is left unsettled, I'll just be happy and get on with my life. Thus, the worrying begins... and I can tell you... it never seem to stop! Just like work or assignments, once one is completed or finished, the other one awaits. So how can I stop worrying? As if worrying is my job.

Worrying has made me stressed, I don't like to worry. I like to be care free.... I guess the only way to do that is that I have more than a Million Dollars now (yes, Dollars, may it be US or AUS). My worries will all go away, I'll just pay all of them off! Money can always settle everything... If you don't think so... you suggest a better remedy...

A very sad day indeed...

2010-10-30T19:45:00.002+08:00

Today, I made a stupid mistake and caused my beloved Wii to go into a Comma. I felt bad...
I'll need to wait until Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday the latest to find out if it is repairable.
I truly wish everything is ok...
Wii oh Wii... T__T

Hopes are still high...

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Left! Left!

2010-10-26T10:34:00.010+08:00

This is the post my cousin Sophia has been expecting and waiting for.
Here is it!

Milpoint was the location and the activity was Kayaking and Sail boating. It was a sunny late afternoon. The sun was not scorching hot, it was just right for water sports! The whole house got out for the activity - This was one of the Firsts.
It begins with a bunch of Asians standing in front of the equipment rental shack arguing with their gibberish language that local Australian do not understand.

The initial idea was a competition of kayaking, who ever reaches a certain point from the appointed starting point, Wins.

Unfortunately, the cause of these few Asians debating in front of shack was due to the reason that the renter had only 2 double kayaks, one single kayak and a bunch of catamarans.

It was clear that 2 pairs will be able to pursuit their life long dreams to paddle in a kayak while the remaining will have the choice of a lonely paddle in a single kayak, or the 3 person catamaran.
After everyone had suit up in their safety jacket/life jacket, everyone was ready to get into the water! Woo Hoo!
Noticeably, I would be the one pushing the kayak with the considerably large one. We did ok, considering much of the combustion energy that we have, we were quick.
Interestingly, Wendy and Jerome was in the same boat. As usual, they are a couple..
And the ones on the catamaran was Sheron, Yee Ern and Andy.
See, we were pretty quick, as both had experience in Kayaking, our strategy was simple and swift. Sophia being the one in front yelled out, Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! Right! Right! (For you Kayak Noobs out there, paddling left doesnt mean go left, its actually, Paddle left to go right, right to go left, left and right to go forward) We knew all the techniques including how to stop (Front left, Rear Right in the water or vice versa), Reverse turn ( Paddling forward left and right instead of pushing the water backwards) and the Eskimo roll! Ok... we didnt do the Eskimo roll, if we did, we'd be wet...

While we were Left and Right away, the Couples group and Sheron's the Boss group were still near the shore... Aww~
As you can see, we were pretty much far far away with our super awesome paddling power and coordination. Contrasting with the Couples group, we are able to move forward faster and turn sharper.
The race soon began between the kayaks. It was a clean start, with Me and Sophia up ahead, like we are able to go from 0 - 100 knots in 3 seconds. We accelerated quickly and the Couples were biting our dust, um, in this case, splash. In the end, we won~ Weeee~
Soon after, we were facing a problem...

The below graphics by professional illustrators demonstrates how the event happens.
When 2 nearly X0kg people are in the kayak, you can be sure that a heavier total weight will weigh down the kayak much more, and a lower kayak means water would be able to enter the kayak easily. Me and Sophia's kayak was a mini aquarium where we can tame little fishes. Our solution was to scoop out as much water was it is possible.
This issue was not applicable to the Couples Kayak. They total weight is lighter than us by a whole lot and with less paddling power in the front department, less water is likely to get into the kayak. As a consequence, being much powerful with disposable combustive energy can pay a price, that is, having both of our pants wet...

Then we tried to catch up with the catamaran, looking for a ride as both of us got tired. Needs more spinach, no more energy, used up in Left and Right.
So we cling on to Sheron's the Boss Catamaran.
The above diagram shows the top view of the described event.
A - Sheron
B - Yee Ern
C - Andy
D - Sophia
E - Me

Andy was working on the steering of the catamaran while Yee Ern was maneuvering the sail. Sheron being the boss, commanded (See Diagram: Pointing and insisting) that both me and Sophia to let go of their catamaran as it was slowing them down. We were then forced to let go and continue our tiredness.

At a moment, we were just relaxing on the water in the kayak, without paddling, while the catamaran went near to Perth City. Weirdly, a few catamarans with locals went pass and yelled out... "Are you guy's Alright?!"
We responded "YEA! We're Just tired!"
It came to us that we had to keep on paddling if we wanted people to stop coming to us and asks us if we were alright. (For the record only 2 catamaran stopped and show their concerns)
The Lighter group.
The out of energy group.
We were so tired when our half an hour was up. Soaking wet and seriously needed to have a wee.
Aww... how sweet... um... ok...

I wanted to post some other pictures of the other group, sadly, Sheron didnt send me the rest of the photos where she looked all bossy and stuff. Hahahahahaha...

Their catamaran was out of control and the renter had to use the boat to go out and get them...
The later reason was their time was up, however, the initial one was due to Aunt YC concern towards the catamaran group, seeing how they are static in one position for some time...

All in all, we all had fun, and the catamaran group, being the last to show up at the shore, had to treat Aunt YC her favorite Icey Ice.

Belgium Bar

2010-10-25T18:16:00.000+08:00

It was the first friday of my trip in Perth. Where I went and checkout how the nightlife is in Perth. I tagged along with Sheron and her friends. It was a cold night, just like any other nights in Perth. For me it is just unbearable, however not up till the stage where I would freak out totally.
A various of Beers from Belgium to choose from, there are other beers from other countries too except that we are in a Belgium Bar, its good to just try out their specialties.
Sheron ordered Stella Atrois , Janice and Jing Ee ordered Hoegarden and I ordered Leffe which was pretty much like stout..
Cheers!
Sheron's friend, Janice and Jing Ee. Janice likes Keroro just like I do. They are both really experience people who I enjoyed to chat with.
The joke was... We ordered a Bowl of Fries,but it came as a Cone/Pack of Fries with "Bowl O' Fries" written on it... initially we do not get the joke, then after the waiter explained, we were like a bunch of Asians who got the joke late. Lame huh...

Overall, the Beers were great tasting, the people were friendly (owh, come on, tell me who is not friendly when they are on Alcohol?), the fries were amazing and the environment... Just like what A Pub should be.

Homemade Big Burger

2010-10-23T11:55:00.003+08:00

As promised, this post would be about the big big burger that i've made last Wednesday.
First of... the Bun. It has to be a Big Bun and not those conventional sized bun, in order to get the size that I want, I had to make my own burger bun.
So I did, however, it did not turn out as I wanted. The problem? The Yeast, it may have not been activated or... the yeast i had in my house is spoil.

It didnt raise much or grew to super double size, I had to still deal with it.
Baked it and tada~ It doesnt look fluffy or soft at all. it feels like eating biscuits... O_o
Then we have the minced Beef, added with some BBQ Steak Sauce and one Whole Egg, No salt, coz the saltiness would come from the Cheese which would be added later on top of it once it grills.
Frying this baby is a challenge, its so huge, turning it i would need 2 spatulas. while grilling/pan frying it, add some pepper on top of the meat before turning it over. As meat this size cooks harder and longer, you would need to make sure that all the moisture is out of the meat, once its dried, you will know its cooked.
Tip : Cover the pan while its cooking so heat can retain in the pan itself and cook the meat.
Shaved Carrots, Slided Tomatoes, and Lettuce.
Assembled it... and it became so tall and Huge! Look at it , its as tall as a Gardenia Delicia Bun.
Guess How much it Weighs? Its Almost 700g! Yes, Almost a Kilo... The burger looks bigger than Ye's face.
See... Burger Bun, Carrots (mixed with a little Mayo), Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cheese(Grilled together with the meat), the meat (Weights 450g) and Bun at the bottom.
Obviously, We shared, half half. Ye cant finish this. But I did!

More to come, including my Kayaking trip in Perth and also Belgium Beer in Perth! (and you thought im done with Perth)

Happy Convocation and Graduation! Its Finally Over and today this post would be on my whole Friday to Monday trip. We rented a Ford Focus 2.0 which we all loved at the end of our journey. Its a really sweet car. :D In fact, dad enjoyed driving it the most.
Our journey started on Friday morning where we left Labuan and arrive in KL at 11am. We then waited for my Sister. She arrived near at 2pm.
Went to the car rental and got the car. its zoom zoom time.
Happy Driver going 140km.. XD
Nothing much happened in the car except for many many conversations and noise, soon, we know we are nearing Ipoh when we saw the big long banner.
Ye was happily playing with Pikachu. Upon arrival at Ipoh, we checked in at our hotel, well, actually just my parents and brother who checked in, me and my sister went to UTP to get my Robe and Passes. Just like other people who first entered UTP, their first impression was... WOAAOOO!!!! ITS SO HUGE! Yea... then a few years there you will feel its too large... anyways... moving on...
Once meeting up with Wei Xuan and got my stuffs, we chatted awhile on the latest happenings. It was swell talking to her again. We then Zoom Zoom back to the hotel as my dad's friend Aunt Amy wants to meet us for dinner.
Whatcha looking at huh? Obviously, Im tired... or just posing..
We reached the restaurant. Its a homey moderate restaurants that specializes on Porridge Steamboat.

Food! In Round and Circular form...
Food! In Pulp form..
The Porridge which is in the pot is heated by the stove which is below it.
Thats Uncle Ah Kang , Aunt Amy Son, and Aunt Amy.
And beside her is her Dad and then mom and then Yours truly.
Food! Egg Toufu, Mushrooms and Corns
We just like to dump everything in. Each and everytime the content is different..
Food! Meats on Shells... luxurious Seafood!
See... everytime its different.

After one over satisfying dinner,it was almost 9pm. Wanted to go to Parade initially but seems like when we reach there, everything would have been closed... and since my sis and i still have our sweet tooth needs to be fulfilled. We sent our parents and brother back to the hotel and went to the famous Tong Sui Gai (Um...in translation that would be, Sugar Water Street/ Dessert Street)
Mmmm~ Mixed Fruit Ice and Jelly Ice... Refreshing...
then... its day 2...
Breakfast in Old Town Area, Nam Heong.
After that, we went to Yik Foong to Purchase my sis laptop, her specifications were, it must be pretty... and her views are totally different from mine, end up, she got a 15.6'' behemoth... O_O my ideal one would be 13'' and under 2kg... well, everyone has different tastes..
Ipoh Parade was crazy... so many people... why? Lam Fong or Lam Foong... you know..that Cantonese Hong Kong Actor...
After visiting Parade, we went to Jusco.. where Jun became a part time Frying Pan Sales Girl.
Soon after, we planned to visit Amy's Parents at their house, after much arguments and turnings, we reached their house with my Genius..
Group Photo~
At night, Again thanks to my Genius...
we got some more food for dinner!
Can you guess where?
Tada... its At Wong Lou Nga Choi Gai! ( Translation: Wong Old Teeth Vegetable Chicken or Wong Lou Bean Sprouts Chicken)
Dad Say Good. (Forced)
I say Very Good (Forced)
I dunno why Ye Ye did this.

Went back to hotel and rest. Super Tired after a long day.
The Next day~ Jeng Jeng Jeng... Its THE DAY!
Everyone looking Sharp...
Ye and I was on the same expression.
My convocation was at the afternoon. IT WAS FREEAKING HOOOTTT!!!

Fried Oyster Egg
Sate : Lamb, Chicken and Beef... mmmm~

After Dinner we went to Tesco which is really family like, then went back to hotel to sleep.

We zoom zoom back to KLIA and then returned the car, and send sis off. Our flight was 6 hours later. We then reach Labuan at nearly 10pm... super tiring...

Next: A Giant Burger.

A park fit for a King

2010-10-16T21:46:00.001+08:00

I am the first person to actually officiate my sis's new lappy~ I keep typing wrong as the keyboard is full size! With number pad on the right side! Its freakingly huge too! its 15.6" and weights almost 3 kilos. Its her new behemoth Asus A52J with the new i5 processor. Im so jealous right now... T__T.

Im currently sitting in the hotel room in Ipoh. My graduation ceremony is tomorrow~ Wee Heee~

Im blogging now coz there is one post left for my Perth trip... the last day where I spent my time in King's Park.

Kings Park in Sophia and Sheron Perth Guide book. Having a look on how to get there. I would be travelling alone as Aunt YC was cleaning the house and preparing food for the days to come for her daughters.
I've arrived at around 9am. It was early, bright, and sunny~ Perfect weather for a walk.
Love the park already the first time we drove through it. I feel this park is really perfect for wedding pictures, unlike the parks we have in Labuan.. hmmm... you may not even think about the place as a suggestion to take wedding pictures.
The Rotary Club Well Like thingy but not a well.
A view of Perth City.
You can see this from the roads below. It looks so big upclose.
The Mystical Semi-Circle and the Flame can that can never be put out. Sophia said, if someone sit at the other end of the Circle and they talk, the other end can hear it clearly, didnt try that out... so i dont know.
Yes, We will remember those who had fought in the war for us.
oh... so its called the flame of remembrence, not the flame that cannot be put out.
Everything is so Freaking pretty here!
Just freaking look at it! not just the flower itself is pretty, but my amazing Sharp is able to capture its beauty! Way to go SH-01B!
Brilliant!
This just looks weird... there are plenty of flowers here, there are some rare ones which are near to extinction.
The Tree that has been offered by the natives in Aussie. It is the tree that has been travelling for such a long distance.
This looks like an Acorn, but is a flower, or is it a non-dried acorn?
This has the texture and look that is like Tarap...
This is also super weird...
Seriously loving the scene here. Can just lie down on the grass~
This water is not drinkable, it feels like its drinkable...
The bridge is donated by LotteryWest.... its cool that they have their own bridge here and is able to earn big buck from selling lottery..
The arch glass bridge is just stunning.. kinda freaky when crossing it..
Now for some random building and sceneries.

The most pointless yet creative DNA tower...
Its the Blueprint of Life... DNA...
The view from the top...
A bit scary if you look down
And you can see which place is which direction..
Then, i wanted to go to the other side where the Vietnamese Memorial is, but i got lost and went on on this track... its filled with DRIED trees..

Finally I got out of the park, Way out, Sophia picked me up at St. George College which is near UWA. Yes, I walked all the way there in 1 hours time...

Afternoon, we went to Burstwood, no gambling though ...

A little feel of Las Vegas...
This is a pretty creative shade....
Me and Aunt YC, at the end of our trip here..
The Olympics and Paralympics walkways... containing names of those who have participated...
Alright! End of my trip~ I had fun and seen a lot... really digested the culture and lifestyle here.. In fact, when I got back to KL, i was disappointed by the service and the manners.Well, thats my luck for being a M'sian... :(

Shake it Monkey Shake!

2010-10-11T21:25:00.001+08:00

OK, I took a little break yesterday and today, its also going to be quite a long one...
This post will be about the time i went South of Perth to Fremantle. Its not a long drive but seems far to me. We soon reach to our destination..
First thing to notice of Fremantle is it is so BEAUTIFUL and... COLD! Because it is located near the sea, sea breezes are frequent thus making it very very Cooling..
The trees are tall and grass are all so green.
Take picture first before going for lunch..
What you are looking here is the Beer factory which produces beer. and the person in black is NOT an alcoholic.
They even have their own delivery truck. but this doesnt move anymore. Now the use Bigger trucks to deliver their beer!
Ok, we bought one tiny bottle of beer and went in search for our perfect Fish and Chips Lunch.
Again, these 2 are NOT Alcoholics.. (I've learnt my lesson after the day I walked for Kilometers in a Slipper, I wore shoes now)
Please, No Swimming and No Diving... Hmm, as if people are going to do that? Unless their drunk.. Do you know its illegal to walk around with a beer bottle in your hand?
Come on... its not THAT heavy, quickly bring it to the Kitchen so I can have my Fish and Chips~
Somewhat a Popular place to take pictures... hmm...
The first restaurant we surveyed was Cicerello's sounds so Italian. I thought the British came up with the Fish and Chips, the Italian came up with Pizza and Lasagna...
There is a fish tank in a place that sells fish and chips? How convenient...
TONS and TONS of unhealthy drinks to choose from.
See what 1 week of eating and no badminton can do to a person?
OMG! Desserts! Mmm~
Everything seems so nice but it still seems so Italian... so we ought to check out the other restaurant.

Tada... We are now at Kaili's sounds more British to me.
We were convinced and hooked on by the Neon "We Sell the Finest Fist in the Sea". Therefore, we settled here! (This shows that Neon advertisements and wordings work!)
Mmm... so many different Ice-Cream to Choose From..
And in the restaurant itself, they have their own FISH MARKET! and its in Neon Sign!
U want something? Order from the Kitchen or the Fish market, you can custom order what you want in the fish market. Everything looks So FRESH!
Oysters... Good for guys...
Lobsters... Mmm...
We ordered the Family Pack Fish and Chips. Consisting of 4fish fillets and a bunch of fries.
Our fries today, is topped by Chicken Salt, yeap, Chicken Flavored Salt..
And Grilled or rather BBQ Squids with a side serving of salad.
See the right side of the picture, thats the place that they sell alcohol beverages. We totally brought our own bottle in despite sitting so near. We then pretended we bought it there since they have it in their menu. The beer was opened with my phone dongle. (and She is not an Alcoholic or a drunk)
Me and my Elder than me by one year Cousin, Sheron!
After lunch, a little reenactment of a very familiar scene which happened in the past.
I help more fisherman out with their catch. What a Haul! What a HAUL!

We revisited the Little Creatures Beer Factory/Restaurant/Pub or whatever they are a fusion of.
Look, the Brewery is in the restaurant, no.. the restaurant is in the brewery, No... the toilet is in the... um.. no..
You really cant get Beer that are FRESHER than this. just look at it, its just behind the BAR! LOOK! LOOK!
And she is not back for more beers... (if i repeated that she is not an alcoholic, i would be sooo lame)
A self service tour around the whole place. Just some of the areas are off limits.
I feel like ive been caged... um.. or they've been caged.. It smells so nice from here... theres Pizza and roast all over the atmosphere.
A little fun fact is that there are stuffed animals or dolls hidden around the whole brewery.
and their dining chairs are made out of 100% industrial heavy metal. so industrial yet so creative.
more pictures to be enjoyed.
Here, Im just above the place where they make pizzas... ~~~~~~
another bunch of beer for people to buy, they have all sorts of different beers, all brewed from this same brewery where they sell food and beer too! (talk about conserving space and fully utilizing space)
Finalizing our tour around the brewery by purchasing a few bottle of beers, we head to town to see whats up there..
A nice church. I banged the glass door of the post office thinking it would open by itself, but the post office was closed..
The town seems really calming and relaxed. Filled with people with a lot of money in their wallet, just chilling...This is the famous Fremantle Market, where many people go in and buy stuffs.
See... theres many people, and bunch of stuffs, and people buying bunch of stuffs...
This person is selling Cookies for Dogs. Hmm... too bad there arent dogs around with money to buy them, so her booth is fairly empty..
Fruits fruits. A whole variety, however not as cheap or as vibrant as the ones they have in Subiaco.
Pastries...hmm... very fattening... ok.. moving on..
Fruits... mmm... healthy food.....
Nemo! One for 25AUD
Street performer in the market... hmm... but its already indoors. I have the same Roo Roo that he used to beg for money. My Roo Roo dont have to beg for money, all he does is sleep all day with his boxing gloves on..
Miniature guitars which drew Sophia's attention. You can pick one design, and customize it somemore!
Um... seriously... chocolate Sardines... i mean... seriously?!
Marshmallow shaped like eggs. people would misunderstood this as some China made eggs ok.. but im sure they taste nice.
This is a shop opened by Nihon-jin (Japanese People) so means their stuff must be pretty authentic. This monkey would shake up and down once the bubble tea machine is turned on.
Im going to order this Calpico drink! Whats Calpico? Picture is self explanatory.
Shake Monkey Shake! Shake my Calpico! Shake it Hard! O_o
My Calpico came out all white... um... yea... Tastes good.
Before heading back and end our Fremantle trip, we went to oolworths. (our favorite place for groceries and everything with the Reduced Sticker)
Hahaha, Its Woolworths.. :D Its So OBVIOUS that the previous picture had its W fallen off..

Rest Today, Its Sunday!

2010-10-10T19:35:00.000+08:00

I'll give my Perth trip a rest for awhile, been not getting proper sleep and rest these few days due to the future... Therefore... REST! Its Sunday!

A Bombardment of Pictures and Kangaroos

2010-10-09T22:00:00.002+08:00

At this time, I feel like murdering my old Modem, its runs only when it feels like it and connects only when it wants. :( more so, I'm connecting through a LAN Wire..
Anyways, As the title mentioned, this post will have a lot of pictures and will be a long post. So wait until it loads fully or u'll miss some of it. :D
It was early in the morning where Me, Andy, Sylvia and Valentina woke up, took the bus and heading to Caversham Wildlife Park. It was so early that the surrounding was cold as my body heater has not start up yet. So, we hopped on the bus and ended up at our first station, at the Esplanade Bus Port. Waiting for the next bus to Morley Bus Station.
Sylvia and Valent having something to eat and munch before boarding the bus, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so dont remember to take Breakfast everyday yeah~
While Andy is searching for the location and whereabouts with his new Apple iPhone4
After a bus transfer at Morley, we arrived here at the entrance of Caversham Wildlife Park! You must be thinking, why does it says Whiteman Park? Coz Its within the park... mm... simple enough.
Im going to have so much fun!
Fun Fun Fun! Hot Hot Hot! Sun Sun Sun!
Upon purchasing our tickets, mine was the most expensive coz I dont have a student card... T_T
we entered the park and saw this map of the whole place which looks like a tortoise.... sort of..

First, we will be looking at Birds. Many many different type and colours of birds.
and various types of bird feed... interesting..
No matter where you go, if the place involves plants and animals, there is no doubt you can find signs with the picture of the animal that is there and its description.
A Wallaby! Its like a Kangaroo but only smaller. The first time I saw a Wallaby was when I was watching Nickelodeon. A show named Rocko's Modern Life... Heres A Picture of Rocko and his doggy.
Most of the animals are sleeping or really inactive.
Arent they just adworable... at that time,i regretted for not bringing a backpack, coz i would of kidnapped one of them back home (so illegal)
Valent and Andy taking pictures of the flying fox...
Superb Parrot! SUPERB!
This is one of the reasons why I came here. Koala! Koala are not bears, so dont call it Koala Bear. More of this laterrrrr....
Like i said, most of the animals are sleeping, so tourist... shoo... shoo...
This Owl really sounds like its barking when it sounds. I find myself standing in front of the cage barking at the owl wanting it to bark back.. but it didnt... (not just me ok, a bunch of the tourist did that tooo!)
follow the tracks... although i really have no idea what animal these footprints belong to.
And here we are! KANGAROOS! Or as I call them, Roo Roos. I remember having one Kangaroo Beanie which i called Tini. :D its still in my room~

Aaaaaa!!!! Their fur is SO NICE TO TOUCH!
This is an Old Roo Roo.
Plenty of Roo Roos around for people to pet and feed!

Take a bunch of Feed (which is free) and then off I go to feed some Roo Roos!
Come on... eat up..
Nyom Nyom Nyom...
Took this myself with my camera, apparently not skilled enough so i asked Sylvia to do so.
Ah, much better. The Albino Roo Roo looks so wicked!
Come on... Come on...
Sniff Sniff... Munch Munch...

Im Sleeping go away dont feed me!
I'll also pretend to sleep so you wont come and feed me, please, Im on Diet ok!
Then I saw this old Roo Roo sleeping by the fence so I went and force fed it.
nyom nyom... munch munch... crunch...

Still munching...I'm Old ba...
Crunch... now go away! I dont want to eat anymore...
The Sisters feeding this adorable young Roo Roo.
Itchy, need to scratch my back! are your hands clean?! you made me itchy!
Im jealous of this kid because he is so popular among the Roo Roos.... perhaps Roo Roos like Pink...
This one looks like its dead..
Theres a Peacock there too, but everyone was focusing on the Roo Roos and not this proud P.Cock.
This one has a Baby in its Pouch! How Precious!
This one um... was just... um... Doing Yoga!
On To Molly's Farm...
Donkey! Heee Hooooo! Heeeee Hoooooooorrrr!!!
Calfs..
Goats....
A Large PIG!
and Animals out and around the whole place.
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb...
and the lamb was peeing when i took this pictureeeee~
Doe a Deer a female deer...
Dammmnnn... this kid is so popular with the animals... The Wool on the Sheep is so nice to touch too! So Soft and Springy.
Turkey! Delicious Fat Free High Protein Turkey!
There are Camels too!
And Llamas and Ostriches.
This little croc reminds me of Crocky. Crocky is much cuter and whiter though..
This is a mountain fox, a mountain fox is not a dog or a dingo.
This is a Dingo, i dare not stand near it because, the fence is of high vol
So I had to take the pictures like this...
Sleepy Koala... So Cute huh... but the claws looks painful..

Awww... So sweeett.. they are sleeping togetherr...
;D
My Lunch, which cost me around 9AUSD... O_o
after lunch, we rushed back to Molly's farm for the show.
There were sheep herding and sheep shaving. And there was also a performance too...
Where i got picked and was barked by a dog.. =_=
Then there was Cow Milking... A cow's udder feels like an unerected penis...
This dog hates me... T__T
We then rushed to see the Wombat show after Molly's farm show.
The birds are so not popular, but the Wombat and the Lizard was..
A 12 years old Wombat! Did you know? A wombat have a lifespan of 5-10 years in the wild but in Captivity, they can live up to 15-20years!

Our journey then ends at the Caversham Wildlife Park. We then move on to our next destination which was 1.9 KM away. The Margaret River Chocolate Company. This journey was long... We had to walk through a quiet yet Flies infested road, asked a local, walking under the hot sun, and climb through other people's property and fence and go through a field of grass.
We finally reached...
There was so many Chocolate inside! All so delicious! All So Amazing! All so expensive! T__T
I want this! See that Model behind me, its made out of 100% Chocolate! Yummy!

When we wanted to go back to Morley station, we got lost again and had to walk a distance. :(
However, we got back luckily and in time for dinner!
Later that night,
Welcome to San Churros
Chocolate Heaven!
Mmm....
Wendy, Jerome and Aunt YC.
My order of Chocolate Tea, seems exotic and relaxing.
Smells nice...
Andy, Wendy, and Jerome. (Aunt YC wants in too!)
Sheron and I.
Shes 48! Can you believe it?!
Churros, delicious Churros, feels like Yau Cha Kway but only thinner and crunchier..
Mmm.... With Chocolate sauce and Caramel..
Now wonder I got fatter when I went to Perth... hmmpphh...

Icey Ice

2010-10-09T14:10:00.001+08:00

Went to play badminton when in Perth, I feel my routines are so limited edition, I do things I dont usually do when im back home.
I was not prepared for it, was suppose to go to the Perth Royal Show with my cousin Jerome but plan was cancel last minute coz of the steep price of the tickets. So i end up playing badminton with my aunt barefooted. And hurt my foot.... :(
This is the place where I often visit as it has my aunt's favorite shaved ice, yeap, its Icey Ice. There are a variety of shaved ice available. Most of them are flavored shaved ice, such as green tea flavored, chocolate flavored, latte flavored, strawberry flavored, and mango flavored, so the Ice itself has its own flavo
This was Chocolate...
This was Crunchy Nutty something...
Then we washed car. (which was limited for me too)
And ate a mutant strawberry... O_o
just before we left...
We went again at night as to claim our victory for Kayaking, um, i didnt had any coz its late at night...
Wendy and Jerome.
Sophia and Sheron, Aunt YC and Andy busy eating..
Everyone (except me coz i took the picture, duh...)

Chicken on the Loose in the City

2010-10-09T08:01:00.001+08:00

Did ya-ha-va nice day yesterday?!
This is a scheduled post, coz thats just my style of blogging okay!
This day occurs when Me and Sylvia went to town with my aunt and Sheron.
A popular picture taking place, so why not huh..
Drink up Roo, you must be thirsty after coming all the way to the city..
The Trees, Skies and Buildings are just much more different in "not our country"
Seeing how the Kangaroo was drinking water, I became thirsty myself, so Sylvia suggested to get a EasyWay Milk Tea. So I did, and it was so refreshing, mine was Honey Milk Tea with Grass Jelly.
After walking around and completed what we are there for...
We hopped on the Free Bus (the Red CAT) and reached here. City Farm, you can visit it at the last stop of the RED CAT.
OMG! Chicks, Hens and Cocks are everywhere! Some are even outside of the cage roaming around. Sylvia is afraid of/dislikes chickens, and crows.
Theres also cute wittle bunny
We get to see how Vegetables are grown...
Particularly fascinating... Broccoli, and now I know how they are grown. =_=
Head that Way for more chickens!
Even their fly trap is not those kind where they have blue light and buzzing sounds.
Then its shopping time, not much iof shopping done coz I dun feel like buying. :D
We were at Harbour Town where most of the sports brand and brands are here! and they are selling pretty cheap too!
Hungry? Gone back to the city and head for FAST FAST food.
This is the similar burger that I had when I was in KK. The Angus Beef Burger. Oh, if oh hadnt notice, Hungry Jack is Burger King, just different name thats all..
And another day ends just like that.. The people, the system and the lifestyle never fails to amaze me.

No internet for a day

2010-10-08T17:56:00.001+08:00

Sorry folks, I was not able to update my blog yesterday coz my modem suddenly gone haywire. Its been my second day back in Labuan and I've done nothing but research (on my next target of studies) and exercise to shed off the fat and weight i've gained in Perth!

No worries, I'll still update bout it, was just uploading a bunch of pictures to Picasa so it could be seen here!
I truly miss the times where we all just sat and had dinner, and our after dinner games of "Loser eats whats left"

Continuing the post before this,
A must try Gelare Waffle and ice cream. Sheron with her faint smile~
Its just next to Hoyts Theater in Carousel.
Yummy Yummy Choco Icey with Maple Syrup and Cream on top of the Crispy Waffle... Mm...
Fifi and Mimi just hanging out... Makes me question if Crocky needs a bath too or not...

Yan Hua's Cell

2010-10-05T17:06:00.001+08:00

Wookay! It feels as if time by time when I am still her (in Perth) I'll be updating during my free and idle time. At the time being, my aunt is packing and looking for her keys.
The following event occur Last Monday where I join Sophia and Sylvia's Cell Group outing.
Clear blue skies with little less clouds~
Choo Choo... We have arrived at our destination!
Mandurah! Sun Beach and More SUN! We were assigned to play a game like Amazing Race. Groups were set and I am separated from my cousins, but luckily with a Local Labuanese/Labuanian, Ms. Jenifer Tee (Long Ern)
We were suppose to pass out candy bars to people and then take the bus to somewhere. This was our first stop! Atrium Hotel.
Then our #1 evidence (Our group photo taken with the nearby land mark)
Evidence #2.
We forgot that we were in a race until all of us were busy taking pictures of the beauty there. While My Cousins' group were rushing as they want to WIN! >_<
How can you rush when the view is like this?!
Our last stop after collecting seashells.
We came in 2nd but we had fun, thats the most important part. (Sylvia took this)
Sophia with Yan Hua's Magnetic dark spec snap on.
Our order of a large family set of fish and chips.
it was so large and so FRIED, we hardly being able to finish the whole thing(but we did, i mean, I did)
Then its leisure time where photo taking as in Session, the 4 Labuan ppl.
That lady in pink that Sylvia is "yelling" at is Yan Hua.
I so wish to own one Yacht one day, still, I hate being on water... hmm...

Simmos Ice-Cream, Im the only one who ordered a flavor that is not Chocolate or Coffee related.
A bunch of people licking ice-cream under a tree overlooking at this view...
That fat woman totally ruined this picture. :(
Im not short at all ok!
Sophia looks like she is sea sick but she is not. Emo Bah..
last stop before heading back. A war memorial.
Look how pretty it is~ Pretty right?

A Garden / A University?

2010-10-05T13:20:00.004+08:00

Im so going back to Mereisia tomoro and yet Im way behind on updating my blog. On this post, lets see where Im heading.

Can you guess where I am?
(Love how my phone is able to produce pretty clear pictures~ Ok, enough of the Self Satisfactory)
Im at UWA (University of Western Australia) where my Cousin Sophia studies. Every day when she has a class, she needs to take the bus and train from home to reach here. Unless if she has only a 1 hour class, then she will drive.
Chasing little ducklings. (Nearly got attacked by Papa and Mama Duck)
Dooooommmppppe~~~ into the water, so cute!
The compound is really large! Comparable to UTP but UTP lose way too much. Because...
This University seriously has loads of Botany. Plenty of trees and different species of flowers. Feels like a garden school. And also, the architecture is well planned out, yea, although UTP did win what some dunno forgot what Award, but this I really can say that This University DOES have Greener Grass. And you can see people lying on the fields and sitting under the tree to read, if in UTP? Please... dont let me go there.
Sheron, Sophia and Aunt YC.
Sylvia. The building behind her is the business school. The reason this picture was taken was purely because Sylvia is taking a business related course.
UWA is also famous for people to come and take their wedding photos!
A Stretched Chrysler 300CC with Scissors Door... (its super common as a Limo here)

Couch potato

2010-10-04T08:01:00.000+08:00

Good Mornin'! This is totally a scheduled post cause there is no way Im up so early, even when Im in Perth! LOL and as you can see, most of the posts are not current or "Live". As the author is really lazy and only posts past events now. This post probably happened last week.

Now its Breakfast time, time for some overpriced Dim Sums!
The Dragon Palace looks like a club from the outside with its dark exterior and really LARGE signs. Really asian...
This Dim Sum place is crowded and to get in you need to take a number. And inside, its like those Hong Kong Style ordering, there are waiters and waitresses walking around in different dim sum carts and when you see what you want, just stop them and point or say out the name of the dim sum you want. No... there is no need to chase after them to get what you want, just sit at your table fatly and wait..
there is so much variety to choose from! and all of them are large in size... hmm..
Sylvia's favorite Salted-Melted Egg Yolk Bun! Its nice!
My Favorite Sticky Char Siew Bun! The outside looks so shiney coz of one layer of this sticky honey. Can lick it good before putting it whole into your mouth... mm...
Char Siew Pao~
Egg Tart~
and some salty fish with a bunch of eggs in them...
Ahhhh~ So many delicious yet unhealthy foods~ To make it less of a guilty pleasure, why not have some healthy green veggies to neutralize the Fatness.
Mmmm~ Green Goodness. Green always looks so pretty.
(Then we went to shop for a bunch of stuff for dinner at the china town, no pictures were taken because both of my hands were full with stuffs.)
Went Subiaco to buy some fruits.
This Cotton Candy Damn Large! (no wonder people get so fat here)
Dominos... hmm, you might be thinking why we stop here? for lunch? to buy pizza? what so special bout this Dominos?
Coz... My Cousin Works Here! :D
Then its time for my aunt's favorite Icey Ice. Shaved Flavored Iced topped with stuffs such as Mango(her all time fave), Choco, Fruits, Corn flakes, Strawberry, or Nuts( as seen in picture)
A big bag of potato on the couch, totally a couch potato indeed.

*ucking Burger

2010-10-03T13:02:00.004+08:00

Things in other countries are bigger for some reason, their people are bigger, cars are bigger, trees are bigger, buildings are bigger... and so much more.
And their Bananas and Hot Dogs are bigger as well, perhaps thats what is causing everything to be so big. Located in Carousel Food Court, Bucking Beef! The burgers are so big! their servings for one item is just hard to finish yet satisfying.
Lunch time, time to get some foood...

Sophia, Sheron and my Aunt shared this, as my cousin just got her braces, everything seems so hard to chew on.
And this... is my BURGER~ Saute Onions, Tomatoes, Cabbages, Egg, Bacon and a piece of grilled beef sandwiched in between two soft sesame buns~

Luckily my mouth is big enough to munch the whole thing!

And for dessert, Ice Shake Cola from McD! Its like Ice-blended Cola...
I feel silly dong this.
Mao Mao Chong... ~ A tiny little black caterpillar was found in the process of weeding...

To Me... Its Soooo Cold!

2010-09-23T15:33:00.004+08:00

Chill Chill... thats how Im feeling now, definitely over chilled. Arrived at Perth, AUS, at 6am, it was so early and I was practically shivering and cluttering my teeth. Even with my jacket on, I felt not warm at all! :( and then I figured, maybe its something to do with the "ClimaLite" shirt Im wearing... hmm...
time to go out! Although dead beat tired, still wanna go out! still. As Im posting this during my free time now, my aunt is Zzz-ing away as she is as tired as I am, my advantage, Age~ LOL. Nah, my reason for not napping was simply - I don't want to be not able to sleep at night.
Perth Station. Im not really good with names, but directions are ok.
Now, who is the upside down one?
Pretty Buildings like... everywhere.
Went just around the city and sight seeing, stuffs here are considered to be cheaper if you are earning or making bread (the bread maker, or bread provider of yourself or family) here. However, if you come from a country that has weaker currency like Msia, no no, u buy stuff, times 3, times 3. If you would want to shop pleasantly here, dont compare! the times 3 will kill off your mood to buy! No COMPARE! If COMPARE! NO CHEAP!

Anywhere I go no matter its Kuala Lumpur, Singapore or Perth. Japanese Curry is always my First Choice~

Away for 2 weeks...

2010-09-22T16:40:00.002+08:00

Yea, just cause the author of this blog is damn lazy to update and placing "Currently Under Construction" as a reason for not updating, well... screw me! hahahahahaahhahahaahh!
Anyways, wont be around for 2 weeks, if lucky, I might update, if not, I wont... :P
will be in Perth for the next 2 weeks.. :D

Its September!

2010-09-01T00:04:00.000+08:00

Sorry. No roast pork this time~ Duuuh~

Just Lazy

2010-08-26T20:22:00.001+08:00

Its that reason and another one is that I dont want to be the Slave of my Computer and internet, therefore, no Posts for the time being

To KK I go~

2010-08-14T21:36:00.007+08:00

Last Sunday, I went to KK via Express boat, which I really dislike, I end up being sea sick the whole time in the dumb dumb smelly boat ( sea sick doesnt meant I Vomit ar...)
Upon arrival, my dad, my aunt and her new Hubby picked me up from the jetty, they had to coz I am holding 2 bottles of their Green Label.
Then check in time, this time, Im staying at Hyatt KK.
Room 703
The room looks stunning, expected no less from this many many stars de hotel.
Glass and mirrors are everywhere! I like~
The view was not SeaView,end up i had to look at buildings and burgerking and KFC...

after that, we had lunch nearby.
Just a simple Laksa, OMG, this is the first time ever I had this and I am not sweating like crazy! Coz its made with coconut milk. and its not Spicy at ALL!
then walked around Gaya Street for awhile then off to this One Borneo which i havent been to.

Once arrived... I was like... where is the big big building??? The one I usually see in KLIA and advertisements? Um.. yea... THIS, where is it?

When all of them told me the building in front of me is it, I immediately felt that the place is overly advertised and not as nice as shown.
I mean like... WHAT IS THIS?! Its nothing like the Curve,One Utama or any of the shopping malls in KL, well, guess things are different here in the East.
The inside was almost a replica of MidValley! Really, I kept having the feeling that they took MidValley's blueprint and just make a few tweaks to build this...
You had to visit both of the places to really see what Im talking about, and another thing, this place feels like its built in a rush, everything feels so not refined and rough, u can see cracks, not refined marble finish, cement remains and even wiring that are not hidden... O_o

I quickly got bored of the place.. then it back to the hotel area. Just nearby, we had bak kut teh~
Not bad la 2 person RM21. but the Yu Chak Kuay I dun like... not crispy~
Before heading back to the hotel to rest, Me and Dad went to Tong Hing, a supermarket which sells pretty much everything to get some snacks.
Oh Healthy Me~

Day 2, dad had to go Sutera Harbor for some Forum thingy, so end up, its a day for me, cash and credit card to go shopping~
but first,breakfast at the lobby restaurant. This place looks pretty. but the breakfast is only so so.
I Was shopping around Wisma Merdeka for a while the i got bored, wanted to watch movie, so i head down to Suria Sabah. I remember the last trip i was in KK with Cindy, this thing was still promoting itself in Wisma Merdeka. Truly remembered this - I was asking the promoter if this place had anything to do with Suria KLCC, and she was like... No... just the name similar only. The logo also look alike, if u go google search both names.
at first i thought there would be a huge shopping center with all the great retail. But... I was Startled! Oh... at least they look bright and cheerful, not like our Labuan FP all gloomy and :(
see... mostly empty. I came here mainly to watch movie at their GSC. I do wonder they got such a big cinema but how do they run thier business? do people come here at all??? got my ticket, only "The Sorcerers Apprentice" met my time, others like Salt and Inception just too late for me.
Then I went back to Wisma Merdeka. Mere walking distance.

In a few years back, when you walk in Wisma Merdeka, first thing you would notice is that the air is usually filled with Saint Cinnamon's smell... but this time around... it was like I am from the past, the future is not as pretty or as Cinnamon smelling anymore!
They have replaced Saint Cinnamon! I repeat, THEY HAVE REPLACED SAINT CINNAMON!
With What?! Hmm, the replacement not bad also la...
TAKOYAKI! ~~~!!!
Yummy! Then off I go back again to GSC at Suria Sabah.
The Cinema was Super duper empty, there was only around 10 people watching the movie, Monday ba...
The movie was Ok la, typical Good guy Win, Bad Guy Die and lose..

Evening reached... dad came back, and its time to...

Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Duuuuurian~
After 2 bijis... felt heaty so..
Super Bitter and Heat Relief! WONG LOU KAT! Super duper bitter!
and some Fried Lo Bak Cakes for dinner. Thats it lo....
Super tiring...
Last day, din take much picture except this one...

Burger King's Angus Beef Burger... Angus... LOL... :D

boat back again... hate it, the girl beside me over the walk corridor keeps vomiting and the boat was showing some very booby and graphic movie which the 2 kids in front of my row was allowed to watch by their parents... oh my... hmm... thats about it i guess...

Painted Eggs

2010-08-06T18:42:00.004+08:00

Its Friday! and Im going to K.Kinabalu this weekend! Weeee~ Anyways, today I Went for this egg painting competition (yea, kinda like Easter Egg painting) at Sea Sports complex organized by Global Art in conjunction with Borneo Art Festival.

Here are a few sample painted eggs to be awed.
Global art mascot (i think...)
A cute beetle...
And a bunch of Durians~
Um no, these are not eggs, they are just durians at home... ok... moving on~

One of my competitor! my brother
The stage of borneo art festival.
See all the children who are registering... they are all competition! uwahahahahaaha
and its 2.40pm, competition starts!
All the children, and even some adults and teenagers, me included are working hard to paint their eggs. my Idea was to paint a BEE. somehow i saw a little girl who was doing the same thing as well.. :(
my brother doing sponge paint technique which includes 4 layers of colour. And the 1 hour passed quickly. and this was Ye's final product!
Hmm... not bad la for a kid, if he had more time, it would be prettier. Didnt win any prizes.. :(
And this is my BEE! LOL! Its a bit ugly looking coz its not dry yet,the whole egg still have the sticky feeling. my Bee has a stinger at its back,a BIG, LONG, BLACK, THICK stinger.. mmm... the girl one dun have (say dy lo, GIRL MA! where got STINGER one!)

And everyones egg looks pretty...
Judging session, that girl's bee got a prize in top 10,whereas mine was too obscene to be in the competition dy,therefore, i lost to a bunch of kids~ Wooo hooo!
Overall, it was fun!

During my super duper long 5 months of serious Vacationing, I had nothing but fun these months.
This includes building up Towers with my brother using UNO Stacko Blocks and other building blocks.
See how tall it is! Its even taller than me and almost reaching the ceiling!
And the video below shows how we destroy it!

Nothing but mindless fun! My RC R8 did get damage from that fall though... :(

Its August!

2010-08-01T10:32:00.002+08:00

I give u, ROAST PORK~
Mmmm.... Roast Pork...

Introducing....

2010-07-31T12:15:00.004+08:00

I bet most of you from West Malaysia or anywhere else never seen this fruit before, but for people from the East and Labuan, when you see it you will remember its sweet and soft texture and spitting out its seed once you got a hold of its flesh...

After almost 2 weeks of wanting to have one (Coz Cindy had them and I was jealous)....
I present to you..
Talap! or Tarrap? or was it Tallap? something like that. Tell this to anyone to west Malaysia and they would try to figure out and search through their brain dictionary of what it is. Truth to be told, I'm not even sure what its scientific name is. Anyone got any idea?
What we know is that the outside touches like a number 2 or number 1 barber cut head. rough and spikey, not like a durian, more flexible and nice to touch, just like a short short haired person (and i means those really short ones)
Total count, I have currently 5 occupying my house, 3 small ones and 2 big ones that are yet ripen.
So we had the smaller ones first, had one so left 4. Opening it up is easy, no knives required, just hold on to the top side of the stem and pull the skin apart, therefore reveal the yummy fruit.
Looks like some alien eggs or something right? well, it certainly does..
Sebiji/ Seulas of the fruit..
and you can even eat it like a chicken drumstick where some of the flesh is stuck with the stem and the center part~

Talap is seasonal, so, not everytime we get to have them. Some more, its rare nowadays to get a hold of this fruit, my brother who is 6, only knows of it now! Oh, and Talap is not heaty like durian, it can actually counter the heat of durian and it tastes nice and sweet if fried like goreng pisang. Not to mention, too much of it, can cause diarrhea.

I SHALL

TRY TO GROW A MUSTACHE

Drawing Contest!

2010-07-17T22:44:00.008+08:00

It was a typical laid back Saturday night. Where everyone except dad was lounging at the Master Bed room. We were just sitting around and watching my brother drawing on the white board, and suddenly,I came up with an idea that 3 of us should have a drawing competition!

So from this activity... we learn that,a simple whiteboard or a drawing contest can bring family together and we can still enjoy laughs and have a great time. We dont need Wii, we dont need computer games or a Yacht to enjoy ourselves, a simple activity like this,can bring the family closer....
oh...
and... I can draw better than my sibblings~ :P

@_@

2010-07-16T20:15:00.001+08:00

Feels so Long to go yet it doesnt.
I now have a dilemma. Choice between 2 different place to start my second life.
Just that NS is in the way, I hope the days will go pass faster and get over it...

I can bake!

2010-07-09T15:58:00.003+08:00

Being jobless and having a fantasic plan in 2011 means I have tons of free time at home in 2010. Yea, around 6 months time till 2011,thats tons and tons of time to clean the house,repaint my room (again), play Wii, watch TV, eat and of course, Bake and Cook. This is my super long vacation because I am currently not eager to go out and start earning money(yet), everything will fall into place for me. 2010 is not really a good year for me, so anything I do wont be fantastic and fabulous.
Its no surprise that I can bake. I've baked some stuff before, cakes, breads and even.. um custard puffs, which are fail.

Layered paper on greased tray.
Mixed do all the mixing while i just stare at the thing going round and round~
strawberry centered muffins anyone?
and in to the Oven~
20 minutes later at 170C, tada~ Strawberry centered muffins which strawberry has melted and sunk to the bottom of the muffin~

July July...

2010-07-04T17:38:00.005+08:00

Its just the beginning of July and its been quite a busy 4 days for me, first i have to clean the house because my sister's friends is staying over, so I cleaned the whole place up good! Woosh!
Then I had to figure out the dinner menu for Charlene's Friends and the places to bring them to. Everything went out well, and I am happy to say that, YES, I am Tired! Ahahahahahahaaah!
My dad brought my sister's friend to this place for seafoods.
The food (due to the lack of passion, i am not going to describe them.. they are all nice, if wan, lets go together next time!)

Then after a night of Madness drinking Wine and Beers, I was lucky enough to be able to wake up to be responsible for Charlene's friends. Apparently, I was fashionably late. And I was so good in selling, that her friends at first thought i was working at the shop where they were shopping for liquors and chocolates. Damn I'm good.
"Watcha looking at?"

I was dizzy and tired the whole time, nevertheless, I was able to complete the tour and dinner, and today, I've just sent them off to the airport! My brother may need braces in the future, so do keep in touch ooo. ehehehe...
Pretty Smelly Flower...

I anticipate the days to come~ and I need to finish Tales of Symphonia 2 as soon as possible..

4th Week of June

2010-06-26T23:25:00.004+08:00

So, a lot has happened over this week alone, but it has not been a lucky month for me, many misfortune struck on myself... which makes me a black sheep or some sort. Just look and appreciate the little things in life~ Like this..
Saw this in its TV commercial the other day with my sis, then she said.. Lets go KFC and see if they got it, must try it! See how powerful advertising is... entered, from far, we can already see that each table got this promotional cardboard and also at the ordering menu. So ordered 2Mmmm~ Looks promising...
When I opened it...something feels a miss.. can you identify it? Its the Lettuce/Cabbage/whatever green vegies it is suppose to be inside.... it lack of the vibrant green colour... NOooO!!! Therefore, making this UNHEALTHY!
Overall, the taste was ok, much like the Twister, just a bit spicier... and they have my favorite CHACHOS inside.. hahah
U can only see Towering Ferreros in Labuan..

First time, yes, First Time ever I see a Audi Q7 in Labuan... wonder how the owner deals with the servicing and parts..
Then it is the night where all the Hainamese gathered and eat and have a good time.

The Grandparents~ Still so Loving even with the occasional disagreements. The Brother, posing, looks like he took this picture by himself... NO, sorry to disappoint you, I took it in a way that it looks like it is self taken.
Then we have the foods.

and the eating...
and the luckiest mother and father goes tooooo....
Luckiest Mother goes to my Aunt Yu Mai~ Weeee~
She got this Gold Plate with a Phoenix on it....

Hopefully July is a better month for me..

The day I painted my Sister's Room

2010-06-23T22:00:00.004+08:00

This is a super delayed post coz it has to be a surprise for my Sis. Kan if i post it on my blog, she would know, since she is already back at home and see my work, I can post lo!
This took place a week ago, yea, that week after my Bday~
Move all the heavy furniture to the middle, then cover newspaper and tape the floor..
Test the paint, yea, its Yellow, To be specific...
Its KCC's K075 Korevon Silk. Its the kind of Yellow that gives out a shine~
Paint paint! Work started at 11am after watching a rerun of Parenthood on Starworld. Then its work work work for me.
First coat
See the difference between the bright and lively yellow and the previous dull faded pink. Tell me, which is nicer?
Still first coat, but covers most parts of the walls dy, not touched up yet.
Clean~ Coz covered newspaper, can read outdated news while painting.
Almost done!! (first coat)
Before
After
KCC recommends that the paint should be of 2 coats, for the pearly shine.
Habis! And, if you were thinking, eh, why the paint not smelly one meh? No! The paint is scented with apple, i had an enjoyable time painting coz the room smells like apple. Dont believe? Go to ur nearest KCC distributor and ask for a sampel! BTW, K075 is specially mixed and picked out by ME~
Done~ Tada! Pretty? The blind was pink before, but now it is dirty gold.
Look at that shine!
It satisfies me to see the room is in a pretty colour, my one weeks work of lying to my sis about just playing video games whole day whole week has paid off...
So nice to see the big :D on her face when she enters her room hehehehehehe

SURPRISE!!!

Reborned SH-01B(2) - delayed

2010-06-20T21:24:00.003+08:00

It arrived! (I think I have made a habit to delay things)
Via DHL, only 2 days.
Still the same old same old package, means I have 2 of the same phone box lying around now.
Plastic still on, i think there is no need for a photoshoot right? hehe...
This time, no more cutting sim cards, just to attach the card with this GSM device, a AntiOut HyperSim. Means, no more CPR and no more restarting the phone for signal. but attaching it is another story, FYI, i am now on CELCOM, bt still same number, due to the incompatibility of my Digi 64K simcard and the GSM device. Now on CELCOM... :D
Happily using and no frustrations~

Yummy Yummy Yummy Yummy Curry Curry Curry Curry

I had my first camera when I was a kid, and the camera is still around! but the condition is not as good as the way i have it a few years ago...

Tada~ Yea, its a camera, but it cant take pictures, its actually a kaleidoscope! The shutter is for the music to play and the view to change, u can switch it to manual too by turning the blue lens thingy~
Cat believe my first camera is still around! My childhood toy! now my brother's
He got his own first camera too! but compared to mine, his one is a digital (toy) one. :D

Happy Birthday to Me!

2010-06-11T00:00:00.001+08:00

This year, I don't get a big and expensive party, or even a gift (er, no... SH-01B(2) is considered a bday gift..) I get a Tiramisu Cake from Aunty Yeu Chu. Initially wanted just a plain choco cake coz dun wan to trouble her, end up getting this coz Aunty Yeu Lan and others wants to eat this... Hmm... =_=
I was told I was born at night, 11.30PM on 11th June. So, meaning, if i were to born or come out later, I would be born on the 12th... interesting fact about me there.

Anyways, all the best to me and may my wish will come true. (last years one not quite...)

The Rebirth...

2010-06-09T23:36:00.004+08:00

Yes, people who know would know that I've lost my first KeiTai, my SH-01B is officially lost. I can say its my own fault that it is missing somewhere in Kampar in someone else possession. Once its not mine, it has died... :(

3 weeks... 4 weeks... One month? Yea, the Rebirth of SH-01B(2) will be in order... just wait for it.

Anyways, I will have a whole bunch of things to do at home, kinda redecorating everything...

The day I lost you

2010-06-07T01:14:00.002+08:00

I am feeling very sad right now, i hate myself for losing you, my carelessness, negligence...
Yes, the day I lost my beloved SH01B, yea, my phone, my camera, my lover.
I lost you.... only together for 3 months, I have myself to blame...
I now have no mood to even find a replacement for you....
All I can say is that, I am really sad for my loss..

Ice Tools?

2010-06-02T10:13:00.000+08:00

Remember the Chocolate Tools? the DIY one? Well, apparently, my brother took the mold and made Ice...
He puts it in the water, then after awhile, asked me, where did his Ice Hammer went? duh...

Ba Chang~

2010-06-01T20:46:00.002+08:00

As we know in the Chinese Folklore/Story/Legend/History/Something, We the Chinese people make dumblings and throw them into the sea or river just so that the fishes would not eat some guy who used to be a politician or something's body... (this proves how humans are so dumb and not logical last time..) Yes, if you throw one of these dumblings into the sea or water with aqua life inside, you would be sued and perhaps fined for your action, come on, these things are pretty oily and i doubt fishes would eat them!
Ba Chang~
The old Traditional Cooking method, soak the wrapped Ba Chang in the boiling salt water. That Pot has a long history, it has been in the Foo Family Ba Chang wrapping process for a long time...
Boiling Ba Changs~
They are done!

And tada... Home Made Ba Chang with Oysters, Mushrooms, Pork, Chestnut and some little prawns... :D

and if you'd think i would wake up and do all this... um.. no... i just wake up to take pictures...

The Day at the Beach

2010-05-30T22:57:00.002+08:00

Suddenly, that day the bunch decided to go to the beach, but only 4 of us went. Char Char's phone was charging so she didnt see the invitation! Nvm, gonna go find her for lunch soon.
So... where else, Labuan only got few beaches and attractions, so we went to Layangan again...
Satays, I didnt eat coz i got sore throat.. throat itchy.
After a whole session of me asking weird questions on If a Bird can drown if it is flying on the sea, and if a cat have a maternity doctor when it is giving birth... and so on.. Amelia or Mien Mien on the swing with Ben.
The beach, will rain soon... (and it did rain after that)
Then went crab hunting, coz feels like those holes are really attractive...
I almost killed this poor crab with my powerful palm attack! I returned it to its hole after that... Owh~ Hole Sweet Hole~

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of The Moon

2010-05-27T23:21:00.004+08:00

Yea, so as promised, more shots of the game i am now playing...
Title Screen, before start.
The game play. I have to navigate thru dark, old, creepy places... nothing else but a flash light and a weapon on the other hand. oh, that lady floating behind, she is just a companion...
Ooo~ Scary arms trying to reach for me, too bad they cant have a piece of me! DIE!
Its not always dark, sometimes I'll get to navigate through bright areas, and i still wonder why the flash light is still on.
It has a lot of cut scenes, most of it talking about life and its value, life and death and friendship.
Yea, many many cut scenes, I like how they render all the images, looks like those PS2 Graphics.
I dun really like the front part of the main character's hair, its too long! cut it to your forehead level la!!

hehehe.... thats what i have been doing for the past dunno how many hours. exploring dark places and killing spirits and robots. :D
I likey~

I'm Busy! Playing Fragile Dreams: FROTM

2010-05-27T10:43:00.002+08:00

Yes, I am back home and before all the gatherings (which will be planned by Ben! ehehe)
I have been playing this exploration and adventure RPG called Fragile Dreams : Farewell Ruins of the Moon on Wii. I LIKE it!It gives me the creeps when playing it coz it involves the main character walking around in the dark with nothing but a flashlight on one hand and a weapon on the other. The weapon usually something silly like, a stick, bamboo sword or a broom? err.. yea, and they break easily too.
It is kinda scary walking around in the dark, then the music changes to something scary telling you there is some Malicious beings nearby. And yea, the monsters are the ghostly beings and spirits...
But this games story is very touching, its like, everyone has died, I havent find out why there is no more humans in the whole world besides the main character. Get to collect items and then read the items' memory, knowing the story of those who left the item behind...
Bah... its nice! I wanna go play now~ :P more screens later(if i remember to take la)

Till Next Time...

2010-05-24T18:20:00.005+08:00

First things first... its a sad day for me when I found out that My Aunt's puppy passed away due to some doggy virus. It was a really active Rottweiler, it has just been 3 weeks since he was in Labuan. I played with him for one day, and then, the week after I left... He passed... I can feel the sadness from my Aunt, because, the doggy was like her pride and joy, since Sophia and Sheron are not around... Rest In Peace Boy Boy..

Then there is another Boy Boy... but no, this one din died.. Choi Choi Choi..
Since I am now Officially Finished my Degree Studies! (Finally... ugh...) I will return home to the little island once more where Fifteen is spelled as Fifiteen... time to keep a close watch on the fatty!
15 = FIFITEEN~ and 13 = Thieeteen~
Trouble free now~ 13 credit hours, 4 subjects, all done! :D This is the first and last time where when I studied, I really get it. Bah... why the sudden genius only when Semester Ends? ahahaha
Last Paper Venue... Chancellor Hall. Yea, i know, Phones are not allowed, but Who cares! :D I am Finishing! Weeee~
Somemore some Mak Guard pissed me off, the situation goes like this.
I was walking in the hall, then i showed my slip and card to the Pak Guard, then he allow, then suddenly this Gey Poh, 3 8 and Short Mak Guard stopped me...
She at first looked at my left hand... (i was like.. why?)
Then she said
"You blonde your hair har??"
Then I said
"No, this is not blonde"
Then she looked at my card and said
"This is not your natural hair colour, you dyed?"
Then I said
"uh... Obviously.."
She said
"Why you BLONDE it?"
I was like...
"This IS NOT BLONDE!" (in my mind, i was thinking if she is colour blind or something...)
Then She said
"Later you come out I want to see you"
I gave the Whatevaa Face..(yea, that one with the eyes rolled one)
Oh... then I was doing the paper, sit, nap awhile, sit, do, go toilet, and thought why she looked at my left hand just now, then i figured out, mayb she trying to look at my body hair, coz all the colour of our hairs are the same one ma.... TOO BAD BEEYOTCH! I DONT HAVE ANY BODY HAIR! Wuahahahahahahahahaahaha! In your Face!
Thats Sangari... We are so happy that we are finished! Wee heeee~

Flying tomoro! Flying back on 4th June to KL again, why? I got Interview with PETRONAS on 7th June! Wish me luck! I WANNA GET PETRONAS!! XD

Are your an Exam Conformist?

2010-05-17T12:43:00.003+08:00

Have you ever been faced in a situation where after a quiz, test or an exam, as soon as it finishes and you are allowed to talk, you would turn to the person next to you and talk about Question 1, 2,3 ,4 and so on? Then you would discuss the answers and which question you find the hardest.
Example:
Abuh: Hey, how was the test? Did you manage to do question 2? the one with the X and Y and Z?
Chap Chong: Ya, I did it! The method to do it is X divide by Y and times the Z theory and then subdivide the X again and plus all the Y average values right?
Abuh: Is it? I thought it was X divide by all the Y average values and then plus the Z theory and then divide X again and times the Z theory..
Chap Chong: Eh this and that...
Abuh: Eh this and that...
Chap Chong: Oh this and that...
Abuh: Oh this and that...
and so on...

If you find the situation familiar or anything that is closely related to it, then means you are a conformist.
You want to discuss about the test, quiz and exam questions and answer because you want to know you are right or wrong, but usually, the final answer of you being right or wrong, always falls in the Lecturer/Grader's hands. And also, knowing you are right or wrong, do you gain any benefits like your test will gain extra marks or the wrong answer suddenly correct? No, besides a short period of self satisfaction which you would forget after awhile, you gain nothing.

I really notice a lot of people who do this, well, most of the people do this, the only few person I know that do not, is myself. Oh, and I do admit I am one of the majorities last time, but soon after i realize there is no use in discussing what was placed in the past, I moved on.

Yea, discussing about an exam that has just passed, is just like discussing about your past with other... like.."Do you think I should wear that shirt yesterday?" <- No point...

So, do spend sometime to think about it, Why Discuss when it doesnt change anything?

somehow...

2010-05-14T11:47:00.002+08:00
