New earphone

2011-06-15T08:50:00.000-07:00

I bought this new earphone, the Hippo Shroom EB to replace my faulty KSC75(Its been an honour :D) on Monday. Sounded harsh at first, sounded horribly, worse than the stock earphones.

But after like say 30+ hours of burn-in, SQ began to improve and I think it's gonna improve more..The demo set just blew me away with its clarity and detail..Cant wait for mine to become like that.

Began to listen to more sentimental songs now, coz can hear the details of the instruments and all..I'm becoming more sentimental now : D

Started to apply for jobs, no time to enjoy hols, Malaysian Studies is boring and nothing else to do. Looking forward to new condo and new gym :), and hopefully a good job.

More difficult than I thought, only suppressed not forgotten. Hmm...

Final university Semester

2011-05-27T08:38:00.000-07:00

Its almost the end of my university semester.Yes..I'm gonna work soon and pay off my study debts..ZZzz

Finally able to drive after years of not driving. Guess that everything happens due to some catalyst that will appear eventually. Whatever happens, I hope to learn whatever lessons that may be gained from this..

Financial Juggles

2010-09-25T22:12:00.000-07:00

Its kind of hard to manage your wealth when you have so many hobbies. For me, its my clothes, outing, food, headphone accessories and my Xbox 360 games.

Its a big task these days to manage your savings..There are many ways people can do in order to save money for things they want to buy or use.

Some of the things that I've done in order to save money:

1. Eat Chap Fan or Mixed rice. They're economical and it contains the nutritions that you need to grow muscle or have a healthy life as long as you choose the dishes carefully.

2. Hang out at Mamak stalls instead of bars and clubs. It is expensive to hang out at those places and you have to suffer from loud noise, second hand smoke and possible police raids. Mamak stalls provides the entertainment that most guys need like wifi and football telecasts.

3. Reduce your supper intake. They say that it is best not to eat after 8pm. So eat fruits or drink water instead of going for pan mee at 10pm.

Thats all for me this time..No idea why I decided to do a blog post..bored maybe

New house,New hope..

2010-06-22T21:35:00.000-07:00

Its only the third day of the holidays and its freaking boring..

Have yet to force myself to find a job..Seriously need to do something or I'll be bored to death..

Watched A-Team yesterday and it's freaking nice..I love Murdock and his hilarious antics..

I kinda enjoy life at the condo..U can jump to the pool,go and have an exercise routine and mamak delivery service..

Been thinking these days whether I have already let something off me..Sometimes you feel like you wanna think about it but you cant coz it'll screw you..

Let the holidays begin..

Blog Post before the exam starts

2010-06-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

It took me like more than 4 months for me to post this thing, simply because that I've gotten lazy in taking pics and putting them here..And I've ran out of things to post..

But now..Im back here momentarily..Not that anyone's gonna read it anyway..

The past 4 months+ was really fun..Met new ppl(Jo,Beatrice aka Mum,Sheruey, etc..too many to list jor), Worked in a PC Fair for a day coz it was boring, went to 'Kuantan', not getting the shoes that I wanted..Ate nice food and gain some weight..

6 months left till 2011. Moving over to a new place, studying hard for finals, enjoy July with holidays and maybe work and looking forward to more fun for the rest of the year..

Birthday..Important boh?

2010-01-26T18:58:00.000-08:00

Sure, it's to remember the day that you're born, receive presents, and replying tons of of birthday messages..

It is also a day to reflect on what you did the past year and what you hope to achieve next year(Resolutions part 2)

Birthdays can also be a great reason to gather a group of people together and have fun, creating a bond among each other..

They say turning 21 is an important occasion..Its the stage when a person is recognized as an adult..And there's something about receiving the 'Golden Key'...

And so am I gonna do all of these things today?? Hmm..Not all maybe..

Leslieweslie..Time to change man..Time to change.

When I dropped my hard disk..

2009-11-23T02:56:00.000-08:00

It happened two weeks ago..

My new HD(2 months+, second one after first one rosak on the first day itself) which is a Western Digital hard disk..It worked really fine..as fine as the..

Until one day, this showed up...

Yes..The worst thing that would ever happen to a pc and laptop, the infamous Blue Screen of Death(BSOD)..

I was furious and frustrated as my exams is about commence and yet I have to waste time fixing it. And so I went to LowYat plaza to enquire about the problem and I was told that its the hard disk problem.. It has to be sent to the manufacturer to be exchanged and its gonna take a month..Since I forgot to backup my precious data, I then went back home and try transfer the data to my old retarded Hard disk..

I was happily transferring my files when I want to drink water,only to tripped on the cable and the hard disk dropped..

I was listening to a football podcast and it stopped and the hard disk is not working anymore..

I immediately had this reaction..

I tried connect again and it does not work..I googled it and they say that the hard disk is completely dead..Omg..

Fortunately I was able to transfer all the pictures that I took to my old hard disk, or I'll be really emo. But losing all my songs that I've organized perfectly is also a bad thing as well..

Now I just hope that they can exchange a new hard disk for me and hopefully this thing can last me at least like 3 years...

On the other hand, I would like to express my condolences to a school friend of mine, Cheah Kar Lubb who passed away on Saturday. Although we're not close, but to hear that one of your friends passed away is shocking and sad..It made me reflect on my life for a while..

RIP..

Exams,exams and heartbreak..

2009-10-29T18:25:00.000-07:00

The next few weeks will be quite busy as my finals are coming to haunt me. After more than 10 weeks of neglecting my studies, it is time for the Exam Gods to judge me by giving tests..Yea right..

The take-home assignments were supposed to be released this morning, but we waited and waited..From 12Pm to 5Pm till now..Better demand for deadline extension..LOl..

The exam will start on Monday with Moral. It sucks that the deadline for CB is on Monday and hopefully the submission time will not clash with the exam time watever..I just want to finish everything asap..

Am I sad?

maybe....

I'm bloggin again...

2009-10-24T10:02:00.000-07:00

The Nuffnang Awards was amazing and getting to know all these friendly bloggers made me wanna blog again..But its still a long way before anyone would notice this lil blog site..

I'm Back..

Pomeranian Delight?

2009-06-18T08:39:00.000-07:00

Just 3 weeks after Cherry and Berry came into our household, a Pomeranian is most likely on her way to the Chin household..She's a 2 year old Pomeranian and ETA is this Sunday..

My house's turning into a mini petting zoo now..Lets see, we have fishes,and hamsters..Now tambah satu Pom pulak..But I heard she's cute and obedient..Should be a great addition..

Life's been boring a bit since my stint with DLL ended..It was fun,boring,tiring,exciting..All in the 20 days stint..They all treated me like I'm the youngest(Dont call me kid la Tas!)..But the experience was unforgettable..Get to know many kids(Ethan,Isaac,Jeslyn etc..) Maybe they'll forget us already but I hope that they remembered what they have learned at least..

Fin..

295..

2009-04-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

Yes..It was 10.05 am and I'm the 295th customer..Lucky eh?

I never thought of getting anything from this promotion. Just wanted to try the World Famous Melt in Your Mouth Doughnuts which is Krispy Kreme. Many people that have tried it before always give good response. Have a very high expectation for this..

1 or 2 minutes after I joined the queue, the 300th customer already started queuing as well. She's definitely a lucky girl. Get to chat with a nice lady (294). Working in a research company. Nice and friendly.

Anyway more pics..

Krispy Kreme hat..Made in Mexico..

It was a U-shaped queue starting from the entrance. Took some time for them to actually start selling doughnuts as they have to take pics with the 'Krispy 6'. Named them 'Krispy 6' coz they're bunch of friends who actually camped since Saturday afternoon..Really fun eh?

Finally, they're giving out samples of Krispy Kreme doughnuts..Overheard someone said 'Very Nice'.

Its finally in my hands..hehe

Guess what, it really melts in your mouth, reminds me of the famous roast pork in Pudu my mum always talked about. However,it was too sweet. I had to drink lots of water to get rid of the sweet flavour. Cant consume many of these or else will kena Diabetes.haha..

The first 6 contestants walking along the hall of fame, or should I say the battlefield where they camped for 2 days??

The first 6 customers..Girl in the middle is customer number 1..Dang she gets to eat all the doughnuts..But is it worth the effort? Well at least they get to appear on the newspaper next day..

Krispy Kreme..

The Souvenirs on display. You can purchase it if you want to..LOl..

Doughnuts queuing in line..Waiting to be fried..Yummy..

I bet he's drooling..No??

The counter..

It opens at 8am daily and closes between 11 pm and 12pm..Now there's another reason for supper and Diabetes..

And I present to you, my mug!!!

Costs Rm25..Not bad..

That's all..Wasted too much time on this..Faster post your LONG post wei..

君わレリナか？？？

2009-04-24T11:33:00.000-07:00

Regretted introducing this website omegle.com to Lele.. The next thing, she keeps on bugging me with 'Are U Leslie' and her chat with numerous strangers. Some are funny though. Hope you would forget this website forever and ever.. Disturbing and annoying...LOL..

Watched Friday the 13th on Monday. I actually thought it was a scary movie, but in the end what scared me was the loud sound whenever Jason(The Killer) appears out of nowhere and kill his victims in the most vicious way. This dude, Jason although looks big in size can actually run fast, throws axe to kill his victim in an excellent and is probably an understudy of Legolas due to his excellent archery skills. And whenever he falls into this lake, he'll seem to revive back to gain his revenge on his victims. Overall it was an okay movie.. I was lucky not to watch 'Coming Soon'. Someone told me that it's a freaking scary movie.

FOA is coming..Hope for the best..I'm gambling my future. Failure is not an option.

恋、何これ？

Extra..

2009-04-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

Today I had a chance to appear on the TV screen, as an extra though.. Nicholas asked me to join in as well after he applied for it.. I was reluctant at first but the money tempted me to go for it (Rm 50 though).

It was at some office in Sri Damansara , the cast manager Yoke Fun asked us to bring a few formal wear to change it for other scenes. There were 10 of us extras at the scene.

Overall , we spent 12 hours at the office acting as some small level office workers. We're the office guys who walk around the office, pretending to talk about big projects while we're actually playing tic tac toe on the paper. We also had a scene where we get to eat this 3 week old Tiramisu cake..It was quite fun..

Met new friends and the actors as well..The director is quite professional but demanding..Many takes were taken probably coz she paid a lot of attention to the slightest detail..

Overall had a nice experience today. Dont mind appearing again on the telly..

Achievement Unlocked: Be an Extra on TV...

Two more weeks to Doom..

2009-04-03T09:51:00.000-07:00

Week 5 is almost over and I still struggle in FOA..The next two weeks will really determine my future for some reason. Pass and I'll go Monash..Fail and I er..well.. do not want to know what will happen. Going to do my very best for it but hope that God will help me in the process to pass FOA..

On the other, some MQA interview is going to be held for SBS students next Wed. And I'm selected as one of the 'Priority' students by Miss Wong in case we're being selected for the interview. Have to wear smart casual next Wed...

Everything's going not right for me now..The tension's building up and the pressure's getting on my nerves..Hmm..

Ice Skate

2009-03-27T10:36:00.000-07:00

Went for Ice skating thanks to Lele which I agreed though..Jeffrey went as well..

Paid Rm13 for the session..Overall it wasnt that bad..Jeffrey was nice teaching me and helping me when I almost fell a few times..Meanwhile Lele was having fun and looking at me hoping someone to fell in spectacular fashion.

Had my own fun trying to move faster like the other skaters out there but the pain in both of my legs in unbearable. It was painful and I took one of the fastest showers ever after I came back..

The traffic at Sunway and around Subang was terrible..Took my bus at 7.15Pm...reached home around 9.30..

Wont go for it again unless I'm forced to..Heheh..

Week Recap-Tamadun,Sashimi and exams..

2009-03-20T11:08:00.000-07:00

Just a short recap on what happened during the past few days..

Spent a few hours thinking on how to write an introduction for my Tamadun Islam essay. Its been a while since I wrote anything more than 10 words in Bahasa Malaysia. Took me quite some time to think of those 'bombastic' words to apply to my essay. Furthermore the references that I took from is in English. I have to translate those complicated words into BM which is time wasting to me.. If only the subject is taught in English, I could have finished it by now.

Went for dinner at Jogoya on Wednesday. There was this promotion where 50% discount is being offered for patrons that have the VIP card. Borrowed it from my aunt and went for a food feast.Ate plates of sashimi's like there's no tomorrow. However its not that nice overall..Wont go there again unless there's any other promotion..End up having stomach ache for the whole Thursday in which I was supposed to go for this blood donation campaign. The stupid blackout caused me to change my whole schedule in which I have to forgone it and losing my Xperteleven match. Already untung from so many resit papers but still fail to pay your electricity bills..

Took the coursework test at the computer lab for Tamadun yesterday.Managed to pass considering the fact that I study it at the very last minute. Have to really start revising FOA or end up being a total loser at the end of the semester.

What else do I have to write?? Nothing for now..

Frackin demoralized..

2009-03-07T06:44:00.000-08:00

The TARC website definitely has been one of the hit websites these few days. Students checking every minute waiting for their results to be released. It was so popular that the server could not handle the massive request.

It took me 30 minutes to check out the results. And yet again, I failed my FOA.. This is the third time that I've failed this level 1 paper and I'm frackin demoralized.

The fact that some of my classmates got good grades for the resit paper shows how weak I am in this subject. Mum says that I did not put enough effort on it. I was a bit pissed off.. Does that mean studying FOA like there's no tomorrow few days before the exam wasnt counted as an effort? Doing revision one month before the exam is not counted as an effort? To be honest, I spent more time studying FOA than the other level 3 papers and yet I still got a F for it.

Other than FOA, I've been told that the Advance Diploma program will start in May. That means I have to decide fast on where to continue my degree program. But then again, can Monash even accept me, a student that get 3 straight F's for FOA?

I realised that blogging is a good thing to express your frustration and stuff..

Taking a break..

2009-03-06T06:41:00.000-08:00

Sunny Singapore will continue once I have the desire to post it..Its been a tiring week for me, both physically and mentally.

Went to the gym at Wednesday and it was one of the most tiring days of my life..Slept around 10Pm and woke up the next morning around 9.30..Yes..almost 12 hours of sleep..Its been a while since I slept that early. Next day was Tennis and it was as tiring as the gym. I still prefer the gym because it offers more variety of exercises..Hope that I can spend more time on it..Exercise is important ...haha

Mentally, I feel exhausted and full of pressure..Exam results is going to be released tomorrow in the morning, followed by my Intermediate 1 Japanese exam results...I kinda did bad for my FOA but I still hope for a miracle to happen. How can a level 1 paper be this damn hard!?

There were also other problems, but that is just the simple relationship stuff..All I can say is that I choose to not give a damn about it at all..I wondered if it exists at all..

Bye bye..

Sunny Singapore Part 4

2009-02-27T06:57:00.000-08:00

This is a continuation of Sunny Singapore Part 3..

After having some fun at the Singapore Discovery Centre , I took the same bus (182) back to Boon Lay Bus Hub where I actually wanted to go to Chinatown, but there's a shopping centre next to it.. So I reckon I should head there and have a look or two..

Jurong Point..Located just next to Boon Lay MRT..
The entrance to the mall..

I planned to walk around Jurong Point for 5-10 minutes..It took me 2 hours+..

Guess its because of the sales in Singapore that tempted me to walk around the whole area,lurking for Abba Dvd's and cheap clothes..

When I first entered , I actually thought that its going to turn out like Desa Complex(Cheapo Shops with cheapo stuff)..I completely changed my mind when I walked around and saw the shops and restaurants that were available.

There's Ding Tai Fong and Thai Express and also a mini Japanese Food lane where all the Japanese food and restaurants were available. Although there's no high end shops around, there's always the standard Levi's,Giordano's and Court's,suitable for everyone..

Jurong Point will be a place to remember for few reasons:

1.Leslieweslie bought his first hip-hopish Jacket (SGD20)
2.Leslieweslie also bought his first set of accessories..(SGD 8.90)

Dang..This mall is even better than Jusco Metro Prima by miles...

Some of the pics that I took:

Doesnt it look a bit like The Gardens,Midvalley??

Spade..They have nice clothes..But its kinda expensive though..

For lunch, I ate Pork Katsu Don which also includes Miso Soup..The price is SGD 4.50..And it doensnt suck..Besides the auntie was friendly to me as well..

Yummy eh?

After that, I decided to go to Funan DigitaLife Mall and get my iPod casing once and for all..Sim Lim doesnt have the casing that I want and its expensive..Furthermore I have never set foot at Funan before..So its a good chance for me and have a look..To go to Funan, you just need to take the MRT and alight at City Hall Interchange..Directions is available at the station to direct you to the place..A mere 5 minutes walk from the station..

I spent about 30-45 minutes at Funan, surveying for the best and affordable iPod casing..But in the end I chose:

The Belkin Remix Metal..Its very kick@$$ looking and it only costs SGD 29.90 or Rm72 after conversion..Of course this is not the retail price as other shops sells it for SGD39.90 or Rm96.. So I think its worth it to get it at that price..It protects the screen as well..

I wanted to go back to InnCrowd and rest before moving on to my next journey.But I went the other way round and actually managed to cover the areas that I did not want to visit at the first which is the Esplanade Area..Coz I already covered the place during my first trip..

The first place that I managed to go while on the way was the Parliament of Singapore..Compare to our Malaysian Parliament, the place is quite small and not tall of course..But no doubt that its heavy secured with the CCTV's and security personnel.

Before I continued my journey, there was this cool looking building that looks like from the future and all..But I was amazed that it turns out to be:
The Supreme Court of Singapore...I thought it was some kind of big MNC company..But its definitely a nice building..

If you guys had read part 2, this place is actually Clarke Quay..Yes..Singapore is that small..

Tall skyscrapers..

Ok..Thats it..Already got bored of writing this..Will continue with part 5 when I'm free..haha..

Sir Thomas Raffles saying 'Ciao'..

Sunny Singapore Part 3

2009-02-23T21:23:00.000-08:00

This is a continuation of Sunny Singapore Part 2..

My first day in Singapore ended with a 1 hour Internet session at the nearest Internet Cafe, tempting Lele with Zara sales(Over already) and telling how great the place is..

I had my dinner(or supper?) around 12.15 am at the Indian restaurant nearby. Walked too much until I forgot the time and my dinner..Ate Nasi Goreng Biasa (SGD 2.80) and Teh Tarik (SGD 1.00). It was nice and full..

DAY 2

After my breakfast and all, I finally decided to visit the Singapore Discovery Centre which is located near the Jurong Birdpark. Its around 10 mins away from the Boon Lay MRT station by taking bus no 182 or 193 at the Boon Lay Bus Hub..

Bus 182..

Bus no 182 turns out to be a double-decker and I was excited as this is the first time taking a double-decker bus..But the bus was a bit old, nonetheless the bus still functions well ,unlike the Malaysian buses which have more breakdowns..Wonder when will Malaysia change???

The view from the top of the bus.

The Sunny Singapore Traffic..

Anyway I alighted at the wrong bus stop, and it took me 10 more minutes to walk to the SDC..I think its because by the time I pressed the button to ask the bus to stop, the bus already went past the bus stop that I was suppose to alight at...Oh well..

There's a lake at the SDC area.. and on weekends there's boat paddling activities available..

Near the entrance of the SDC there was this mini expo conducted by the Singapore Civil Defense Force(SCDF) .I think its some sort of awareness campaign where they displayed their fire trucks,equipments and more..

I think its a great thing to do by the respective authorities to display it especially at a tourist attraction centre..Not only it helps to spread awareness among the people, it also helps to increase the knowledge of people as well(Like me..hehe..)..

The ticket admission costs SGD 10 which also includes a free SAFTI tour and some 2D viewing which unfortunately I have to forgone it due to time constraints..

The SAFTI bus tour is a tour of the SAFTI Military Institute where it is a tri-service military training institution for all officers of the Singapore Armed Forces. So this means that the officers from the navy,airforce and army will have their training here. Because its a military place, visitors like myself cant take any pictures of the entire place during the bus tour(Sorry).

By the way, I'm the sole passenger for the bus tour as it's a weekday I suppose..But nonetheless, its a fun and educating experience. The SAFTI tour guide also asked me about our country's 'Summer Camp' aka National Service. I find it hard to explain to him as I was not picked it(Lucky!). And I told him that Malaysia's National Service is one of the crappiest things ever exist.Was kinda harsh I guess but that's the fact.

One of the old military planes that was used by the Singapore Airforce.

After the tour, I finally entered the SDC.

To cut it short, SDC is not a very interesting place although it highlights the country's infrastructure, culture and other stuff. I would rather visit the Singapore Science Centre which is way cheaper(SGD 4.50). But one of the things that I liked was when I was greeted by this cute symbol of Singapore which is:

The Merlion and his rap, 'So Singapore'. Its basically a simple musical about Singapore and its cultures, from the diversity of its people,HDB and Singlish. I find it quite funny and educating. I wonder if there's this kind of show in Malaysia.

I'll just post the rest of the pics that I took while at SDC..

A dome where there's a mini game where people can have fun building the future Singapore..Not that fun if you were to play it alone.

A flying simulator.

Leslieweslie reporting for CNN..Haha..I like this thing where you get to be a news reporter. But the quality of the recorder wasnt that good.Perhaps they should upgrade it to make it look better.
Bye Bye Mr Robot and SDC..I wont come here again.

That's all for Sunny Singapore Part 3...

Sunny Singapore Part 2

2009-02-19T20:53:00.000-08:00

This is a continuation of Sunny Singapore Part 1..

I alighted at Outram Park MRT to meet my friend Lynn,who went to Singapore to work. I visited her room which is very very small,even my hostel room's bigger than us. But the security system of the shoplot is definitely top-notch. Apparently they used key cards and the door opens when you touch the keycard on the door.

This pic was taken from the rooftop of the shoplot..

Before we went to Clarke Quay, she went to her sis's house which I followed as well. Its located in Yishun but we alighted at Khatib MRT instead. The area is full of HDB flats but what was astonishing is the type of cars that the typical Singaporeans own.
Most of the residents own at least a Vios..Others drive Camry and I even saw a Mercedes C-class as well..You cant see these kind of cars in flats in Malaysia..

The walk to her sis's house from the MRT station was kinda long..About 5-10 mins. If its in Malaysia, I would definitely complaint of the long walk. But for Singaporeans, it is a norm. If I were to stay in Singapore would definitely need to walk walk and walk the whole time..

HDB flats with nice cars around it..

After that we went to Clarke Quay..Over there, there's lots of really nice(and expensive) restaurants,bars and cafes. There's also this Bungee thingy that is also available in KL.. I did not try the food over there as it is a bit too expensive for me to savour. But nonetheless, this is a really nice place to hangout at night.

The Bungee thingy..

Clarke Quay..

Loved this pic..Looks like the spaceship from Independence Day.

More pics from Clarke Quay

Notice the color changes from blue to purple..

That's all for Part 2..Stay tuned for part 3

Sunny Singapore Part 1

2009-02-19T06:21:00.000-08:00

Just came back from Singapore..And its hot and I'm very tired..But I'll post pics and explain briefly about my recent trip to Singapore. This time however, I spent most of my trips on malls,malls and malls.. What was supposed to be a trip to East Coast Park was replaced by a 3 hour tour around Jurong Point.I'll explain more about this in the second part.

LCCT terminal.One of the most boring airport terminals in the world I suppose..Full of people and lack of sitting space inside the terminal is definitely not a good impression hence the low cost of the airfares..

My luggage and sling bag to accompany me for the trip.

My seat is near the window of the wing. Its definitely a nice place to take pictures of the beautiful sky..

I wished I took that plane instead..

The Immigration Counter in Terminal 1..The lady in charge of the immigration was friendly , a total contrast to the stern-looking immigration officers of our country.

The skytrain that I took in to go to Terminal 2 for me to board the MRT..

The Crowne Plaza..One of the best looking hotels that I have ever seen..It'll look magnificent at night I reckon.

After I had checked in at the Inncrowd Backpacker's Hostel which is located somewhere near Bugis, I went for lunch and like the last few trips, I went and tried the ever famous Katong Laksa. The laksa costs 3.50SGD and is very nice. I also ordered Teh C to compliment it for a very nice satisfying meal. Total cost:4.50SGD..

A construction that was in progress..

More pics to come..Tired..

Pre-trip to Singapore..

2009-02-15T08:20:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow will be my 2nd solo trip to Sunny Singaporeee....Gonna board the plane at 12.30 pm afternoon but my parents are sending me to KL Sentral around 6.45am..Thats 6 hours for me to hang out..And I'm bringing my laptop as well..Although I know its a hassle and dangerous to bring it but I think I gonna need it to enjoy my trip.

Might be buying clothes(Zara??) and possibly an iPod case. But should be able to get some souvenirs I guess..

Will post other stuffs at a later time..

Dont gamble on birthdays..

2009-01-31T21:46:00.000-08:00

My 20th year of my life started with losing a total of Rm50 in two days. Most of it came from Black Jack..My luck ran out very fast this time and I ended up the biggest loser..Guess its a taboo to gamble on your birthday??

Went out with the Berher gang to 1U for some bowling and Wong Kok..Had a very large milk tea for free....There were 7 people and we almost cant finish the drink..

After that we went to Jing Qian's house at Ijok(45 mins from 1U,get some angpau's and off we go to Kuala Selangor for dinner.

We ate at the Riverside Restaurant..To my surprise, the restaurant has a nice ambience and has two LCD TV's to entertain the guests. We ate two fishes,some seafood thingy, vege and chicken. The total amount is Rm160 for 9 persons. I would give it a 3 out of 5 rating.

I'm also proud to announce that my cousin sister gave birth to a son and its on my birthday. His name is Ryan Neo and he'll be sharing the same birthday as me..Double celebration perhaps?? Lol.

Lazy to post the rest..That's all for now..

To Lele who had a bad encounter..

Today's the fourth day of Chinese New Year but I'm not in the mood to celebrate it at all as I still have my exams next Wed and Fri..And the worst thing is that I'm still unprepared for my exam.

I have to blame it on my bro's PSP..Been hooked on to Dissidia Final Fantasy which is easily one of the best games on the PSP..Because of it , I've completely abandoned Terra and the gang in Final Fantasy VI...Training Frionel to be a kick@$$ character proves to be a top priority than defeating the evil Kekfa..Aih..

Watched the first five episodes of 24 Season 7 and I've must say that Jack Bauer still rocks..

Hope to be able to get my Gears of War 2 tomorrow though.

Wanna sleep nao..Bye..

Ps..Lele get some 'forgetful' drink that get rid of bad memories..

To Lele who symphatizes the teeth instead..

On Friday I went to the dentist in Bangsar to get my wisdom teeth extraction. Since my parents were working, I have to take the dreaded public transport to go to the area.

Luckily the journey wasnt too long..Around 1 hour++..Once I reached the Bangsar LRT Station I took U87 from there to the Bangsar main area which includes Bangsar Village I and II. Even though its a weekday I can still see the cafes around the area were full with customers especially the angmohs.. I really like Bangsar for some reason. Nice restaurants,nice cars and shopping malls in a neighbourhood area. Maybe I could afford to live there one day..

Anyway just to make things simple, the extraction was done in less than 10 mins. First of all he sprayed some anesthetic on the teeth before injecting it TWICE with some other kind of anesthetic.It tastes bitter.. After that he used some electrical machine thingy, forgot the name but it reminds me of some tools from the Kemahiran Hidup subject and he basically cut the tissue around the teeth before removing it. Did not feel any pain at all.

The machine that was used to cut the tissue of the teeth..

The wisdom teeth that was extracted..Yes..Its that small.

I celebrated by having a light brunch at the Pelita mamak restaurant few blocks away from the dentistry. Ordered a mee goreng and teh tarik kurang manis. The food was so-so but I was very hungry so I'm satisfied with it..

My Brunch..

Lazy to post other stuff now..Not in a good mood..

A day at Mid Valley..

2008-12-27T07:33:00.000-08:00

Today I went to Mid Valley Megamall with Janice and Diana..The two 'Tai Kar Jie'( Big Sister) asked me to accompany them to buy stuff for the upcoming New Year Countdown at Genting Highlands. Since my family is having some wedding dinner, I decided to go there and spend my time there.

When we reached our destination(4.45pm) the first we did was to survey the price of various items that we're gonna purchase(Snacks,Cup Noodles and Booze)..For some reason the price of alcohol is cheaper if u purchase it at Cold Storage(Chivas only)..

But since we have yet to have lunch..We decided to find a place to eat.. And I suggested the world famous Din Tai Fung(鼎泰峰) located underground at The Gardens..

Entrance to Din Tai Fung((鼎泰峰)

One of the dining areas available

Since Diana have to eat vegetarian food today, she has to order food that does not include meat, which means that she has to forgone the very popular and mouth watering XiaoLongPau..However the food that she ordered isnt too bad as well..

Dan Dan Mien..

Her Dan Dan Mien costs Rm10.80..The gravy is made of Peanut so its not meaty. I find it to be a bit salty though.Maybe its because of the sauce..

Vegetable Dumpling

To compensate for the XiaoLongPau , Diana ordered Vegetable Dumpling(Rm9.80). It was delicious but once u tried the XiaoLongPau, you wont want to eat this dumpling at all..Pity Diana..

Janice did not want to eat anything other than the XiaoLongPau so we ordered a combination of it and some other dumpling..

Prawn Dumpling I guess..

The World Famous XiaoLongPau Makes me drool..

The combo costs Rm18.80..The Prawn Dumpling was delicious as when u eat it the juice will flow out..I like to suck the juice out with my mouth but you can also eat it at once..Janice prefer the latter..But the skin was a bit too thick..

But the highlight of the day is of course the XiaoLongPau..I like very very much..Its not too thin nor too thick and I like the juice flowing out from the skin..Overall this dish is a must try..

I also tried the Char Jiang Mien (Rm12.00) which is ok..Not too nice..Still prefer the XiaoLongPau..Although the portion was not too big, the meal definitely made everyone of us full..

Char Jiang Mien..

After that we walked around Midvalley and I took the opportunity to take some pics of the Christmas Decorations around the area..

Diana and Janice..The retired and successor of the Treasurer of SBS SWC..Dont the two of them just look like sisters??

Another picture of the two loving 'Sisters' of SBS SWC..Guess who's older..Haha..

By the end of the day, we bought a LOT of stuffs there..Cup Noodles,Snacks and a bottle of Chivas..It was fun but we spent more than an HOUR trying to buy the most affordable cup noodles for everyone..I already recommended them to purchase the large Vermicelli packet but they refused for some reason..And in the end, it took us more than an HOUR..Lol..

But 'kudos' to Janice for 'willing' to take back all of the items back to her house first since its a bit too inconvenient for me and Diana to take it back..

Looking forward to the New Year Countdown Trip where Booze and Cup Noodles await us..

Don't Believe In Love

2008-12-26T07:26:00.000-08:00

Dont Believe In Love - Dido

I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend
That I'm still sleeping
Til' you go home

Oh
I can't look at you
This morning
I should probably have a sign
That says
'Leave right now or quicker'
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
And that's why
You have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful
On your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning
And I can't face your smile

The second that I feel
Your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've ovestayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me
And nothing is real for me

When I don't believe in love
Why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting too close to me
And that's why you have to leave
And that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me

Wisdom Tooth..

2008-12-25T07:11:00.000-08:00

Just a few months ago ,my friend were complaining of her wisdom tooth..It has been haunting her for a few days already. I was laughing at her for being so unlucky and grateful for not having it myself.

Few months later, the inevitable has happened, I am proud to announce that I've become the latest victim of the 'Wisdom Tooth' phenomenon.

The symptoms were obvious, when I was eating there would be some weird feeling on my teeth. I thought it was something that aint serious. But today it gets worst, so I decided to look into the mirror and see if there's anything wrong. When I saw it, I have that WTF expression..Urggh..

Going to see the dentist tomorrow..Wish me luck..Christmas just keeps getting worst and worst every year..

Tea Time at Pavilion KL

2008-12-06T20:38:00.000-08:00

After my Japanese class(Very Tough) at Kl Plaza I decided to head on to Pavilion KL for a simple tea time meal before heading on to UM for the Sports Carnival

Well this year they decided to put their Christmas Tree just outside the main entrance.IMHO its basically the same tree like last year, just that they changed it to gold from purple. But its still a crowd puller as many people took pictures of the tree with their phones or their DSLR. Have yet to visit the other major shopping centers so cant compare it now..

As for my tea time meal, I went to MOF (Ministry of Food, Not related to MOS though) which is located next to Pasta Mania..Its basically a Japanese kind of like a dessert shop that sells ice-cream, gelato , and other nice desserts. Their slogan is ”毎日MOFの日です" or Everyday is MOF day..

The slogan for Ministry Of Food..

Its actually my third being here therefore I ordered my favourite Kurimitsu(ChestNut) flavored Ice-cream which costs about Rm5.50. Portion was just right and the ice-cream's nice as well but might be bit ridiculously sweet for first-timers.

Next I tried their new item which resembles a mini waffle...I tried the white
chocolate sprinkled with black chocolate flakes on top of it..

I personally do not like it as its a bit too soft and the flavor does not complement the waffle. Luckily it only cost Rm3.00 or I'll be venting my frustration in this blog. But nonetheless MOF its a nice place to enjoy great desserts and hangout with your friends. And it also offers free WI-FI for those who wanna check their mails and blogs..

Will post about the sports carnival if I have time..

NXE( New Xbox Experience)

2008-11-30T00:53:00.000-08:00

The NXE update was launched on the 19th November this month. Everyone was eager to download it to experience the new interface. But as I was super busy these few weeks(Sbs Nite) , I only get to download it last night.

The download time was long though,around 90 minutes.I switched it on about 11.30Pm,I can only get to play it about 1 in the morning. Fortunately, I was smart enough to study my IEC coursework while waiting for the download to finish.

At 1am the Xbox has finally be updated. After a very cool intro about the NXE, I was required to create my own avatar which I took a bit of time to create it(FIFA more important k!?) . As for the interface, i find it very nice and different from the old dashboard. But other things could have been improved.

Luckily there was Kern, one of the best players LYN has ever seen. Since we were waiting for the rest of the guys to finish their game, I had two quick friendlies with him. The first match ended in a thrashing by him which also includes an embarassing own goal by my own Ferdinand. For a dude who just got his game on that day itself , he was playing very well. He did some passes that were spectacular and his first touch was awesome where his Anelka did some wicked turning to my defender's suprise. I only one shot through the match. T.T

Finally when Terra and the rest are ready for a Club game, the servers was very lag and we waited for quite some time before we can even join a game. But then when I was about to start the game, I was DC-ed from the match. The rest of them had no problems leaving me stranded on the dressing room waiting for them to finish their game. I tried again the second time later after they lost the game and the same thing happened again. I thought it was because I did not install the game into the hard drive(NXE Feature) and then I left for a while to install it(10 Mins)

After that I tried again but this time I was the captain and Thank God , I was able to play my Club game. But we lost the next two matches as our passing werent that good through the whole match and my positioning was very bad. Need to practice a lot..

In my last game , I was dc-ed again. I think its because I wasnt the captain. Maybe next time have to be captain kua. But it was a fun experience although short-lived. Cant wait to improve my skills after my busy weeks are over.

My gamertag:Eisenmeteor89..Feel free to add me..

Difficulties adding widgets to my blog..

2008-11-29T23:24:00.000-08:00

Today is the 4th day that I've set up this blog and yet I'm facing difficulties in adding widgets to it..Most of my friend's blogs have those very nice visitor's counter thingy and cbox.. The website sounded very easy to set it up yet it took me a few hours of frustration to get it right.

I admit that I'm a super newbie at blogging..Dun understand how u guys can make it very nice and beautiful with all those nice fonts and colors. Maybe its me being lazy in reading those very long 'step by step' guides(Programmed learning method,Managing People) but I find it hard to make my blog look good.

Feel free to comment on making it right..And give me some ideas la wei..Appreciate it..Lol..

Stuck in the Monorail Station..

2008-11-29T01:49:00.000-08:00

Today's experience at the Kl Sentral monorail station have confirmed Malaysia's continuous problem of failing to maintain their public transportation..

My Japanese Language class was at 2pm.Therefore, I leave my house around 12 to make sure that I'm not late for my class.Normally I'll arrive at ICLS around 1 ,at least I can get to spend an hour walking around Pavilion..

I arrived at the Kl Sentral station about 12.30 and after I bought my ticket I went up to the waiting area where I see many ppl waiting outside since the Monorail was already full of people. This situation normally happens especially during weekends. Then suddenly the monorail conductor started ordering everyone inside to leave the monorail. In the end,the monorail have to be stopped for some service check I guess..

I thought it was just a fluke as few minutes another monorail came by,the doors were opened and everyone started rushing in to the monorail. I'm always the patient one so I was thinking of boarding the next monorail. But to everyone's suprise the conductor again ordered everyone out of the monorail. And there was I thinking, what could have caused two monorails to stop their service..And thus everyone waited at the monorail station hoping to board it to their destination but for the next 50 minutes 5 or 6 monorails have came and left without any passengers straight into their maintenance area.

At first, there was a massive crowd but then people started to get fed up and opted for an exchange to take a different mode of transportation instead.I chose to stay instead but since my class's gonna start soon I have no choice but to take another route instead.

After I got my refund, I took the Putra LRT to Dang Wangi and walked to the area from there but it was quite a wrong move as it was a long route, I was tired and exhausted but managed to walk my way to ICLS. In the end, I arrived around 45 minutes late which wasnt that embarassing since Ning, my Japanese Language classmate arrived five minutes later..haha..

Overall ,I had a nightmare today on taking Malaysia's public transport. To wait for an hour for monorail is nothing short of being a disaster. Perhaps if its in the U.S people would have started suing them for compensation..Should I do it too? Lol..

Hangover..

2008-11-28T00:45:00.000-08:00

Its 4.46Pm in the afternoon and I'm still having a hangover after my night outing yesterday. I was convinced that my mind is still clear about yesterday's events and I'm not drunk!!..

Still remember the cute Cindy and Hanna and the other girl who is as equally drunk as Kenneth.

But now the worst thing to do is to make myself normal by the time mum comes and fetch me back home. Anyway, I'm happy to be able to go home after 2 weeks. 2 weeks of no hot water,fast internet and family love...

I think I'm beginning to love blogging..Sei lo..

Memories of '6-7'...

2008-11-26T20:53:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we have a new lecturer/tutor for our Managing People. He's quite young, maybe a new lecturer I guess.. But as I was talking to Yen Loo about the printing money, he told me to sit down or I'll have to leave the class..He also asked Chi Fei to leave the class for talking with his back facing him. If he had not noticed it, he would have a hard time.

During the tutorial, he was quite strict, we're not allowed to talk and do anything with our mobile phone. He reminds me of the strict ice hockey coach from the Tv series 'Pride',strict with his players.Urggh... Other than that, he's quite a good person I guess. It's just that his approach might be too strict.

Anyway '6-7' is actually a name for a person named Richard. He was my driving instructor last time and I can tell you that he is one of the worst people that I have ever met. He's very rude, always scold his students and has a face that resembles an ugly brute. He scolded me in a very bad way back on my first lesson with him. I dreaded my lesson every time I went for my driving lesson. Luckily I got my license and I do not wish to see him ever again or for him to remember me.

So this is my first official post on this blog eh..Haha..

Introduction?

2008-11-26T20:38:00.000-08:00

Blogspot..A haven for people to express their own views, vent their frustrations and complaint just about anything has finally lured me to try and have a go at this 'haven'.

Blogging is something that I did last time just as a homework during my English lessons during college. However it was quite an enjoyable experience as I get to write whatever I want on this blog.

Creating this blog is easier than I thought. I just need to sign into my gmail, and fill in some details, and kaotim liao.

Anyway..Welcome to my blog..どぞよろしく。
