Master's new gaming rig

2012-11-23T19:40:00.002+08:00

Last Saturday, Master got a new computer in which he assembled himself, and it's beasty!!! And this is how it began...

Earlier this year, Master and few of his friends thought of buying new computers for themselves, and they thought, 'Why not built one instead!?'. As such, they asked for their parents approval, and all of them said yes. They wanted to do so right after PMR, but then by then, their parents said to wait till the year-end holidays. And it's finally here!

However, one of them quit wanting to build a computer. Master is the first of that group to have the computer, and is also the best among them. The others' parents said to wait for after their PMR results are released.

So now, Master is the only one of them to have the computer. And he wishes all the best to the others in their build.

Specifications of the rig:

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K
Graphics card: Leadtek Winfast GTX 670

Boot drive (Primary drive):Crucial M4 128GB
Storage drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer 8GB 1600MHz
Power Supply Unit: Corsair TX650M
Casing: NZXT Switch 810 White
Processor cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
DVD drive: ASUS 24x DVD+RW
Operating system: Windows 7 HP 64-bit
Accessory: NZXT Sleeved LED Kit (Blue)

And here are some photos!

Visit to Genting Highlands 2012

2012-11-15T18:26:00.005+08:00

Hi guys! Long time no posting! So anyways, Master and Kai Zhi's PMR exams are over, and they can finally relax for the rest of the year!!! The year-end school holidays are finally here and students can finally take a break, and waste their precious time on the internet!

So yeah, time passes really really fast! It's as if we just came back from China last year! Oh, wait... it IS last year. So anyway, we visited Genting Highlands once again just this Monday along with Mama, Master, Kai Zhi, and Kai Min. And, I well... I can't say it's an enjoyable trip, but oh well, at least we had fun!

On Monday morning, we woke up, had breakfast, and Dad sent us up to the Genting Skyway cable car station, then Mama bought our tickets, and we waited for Kai Zhi and Kai Min to arrive. They live just below the mountain, so for them, it should take about a 15 minutes drive uphill to the station. Whereas for us, it was roughly a 45 minutes drive.

Once we've arrived at the station, we went aboard the cable car, and took a 20 minutes ride up the mountain to Genting Highlands! We walked all the way from the Highlands Hotel, which is where the cable car station is, to First World Plaza, which is where all the fun is!

Once at First World Plaza, Mama bought the One Day All Park Unlimited Ride pass for us and we proceed to the theme park's entrance. Mama did not go, she was taking care of our luggage and waited at the hotel lobby to check-in.

At first we wanted to queue for the 4D Motion Master, but because the caretakers say that we have to queue for around 2 hours, we decided to go for other rides first.

So firstly, we went and queued for the Spinner. Unfortunately, bags were not allowed on the ride, and since Zoe and I were inside of Master's bag, we had to be left on the ground.

Then, we went for the Go-kart. It was quite a long queue because many people wanted to play that. Bags were again, not allowed on the Go-Kart. While queuing, we have seen several accidents caused by people before us. Mostly of which, were caused by women.

After that, we went for the extraordinary and extremely terrifying Flying Coaster! Unfortunately, bags were also not allowed on the ride. Master says it was a little terrifying whereas Kai Zhi screamed like a girl for the entire ride.

Master then went to queue for the Bumper Boat, the ride in which Master had ever got the chance to ride before. Kai Zhi and Kai Min refused to queue because apparently, they were too lazy to queue. Even if they did, I doubt they'd made it pass the weighing since the maximum is 75kg. And, as obvious as it is, they might be above that. So instead, they went walking around the theme park until they got bored and went to the hotel in which Mama already checked-in.

And then, all of the sudden, it started raining! You see, when it rains, the outdoor theme park will be forced to close. And since the Bumper Boat is an outdoor ride, it had to be closed until the rain stops. Most of the people who queued for the ride left, but those who are patient decided to wait for the rain to stop. After 20 minutes of raining, Master decided to leave the queue and go to the hotel to rest.

We rested for a while in the hotel room and then went out for tea break. Then, we continued playing at the theme park.

The view from our apartment

The rain was over, and queues were starting to lengthen again. So, first, we rode the Tea Cup. Yes, we were that bored. We just rode that for fun, and I'd say, it made us all pretty dizzy! Then they rode the Spinner again. And after that, we went and check on the 4D Motion Master again, but we still have to queue for 1 and a half to 2 hours. So, Master brought us to visit the Ripley's Believe or Not museum. Paid RM22, and spent about 45 minutes in there. Kai Zhi and Kai Min didn't want to spend that money so they wasted their time walking around the Plaza.

Then, Master went to queue for the Bumper Car, Kai Zhi and Kai Min were once again, too lazy to queue. After about an hour of queueing, we finally got into the ride. And this time, Zoe and I went on the ride and it gave us all a massive headache!!! It was all banging and spinning!!! After that, Master went for the Euro Express. Whereas Kai Zhi and Kai Min waited at McDonald's, and in the end, they decided to go back to the hotel and rest. I mean... What's the point at all for them to come if they're all too lazy to even queue!!??

Then we headed back to the hotel and rested for a while, then we went out for dinner. We had dinner somewhere at Highlands Hotel, then we went back to First World Plaza, we checked and see if the line for the 4D Motion Master had reduced, but unfortunately, no. So in the end, we didn't ride the 4D Motion Master this visit, but hopefully, the apocalypse doesn't destroy Genting Highlands and we get to visit the place again.

We then call it a day and went back to the hotel. But first, because of Kai Zhi's desperate need to browse the internet, we decided to drop by at Starbucks! Unfortunately we weren't able to connect because there's so many smegging people using their WiFi. So we had to survive without internet. But Kai Zhi then gets mad because he can't browse the internet. Master and Kai Min bought some refreshments, and we hung out there for a while, then Kai Zhi gets mad because he's too lazy to go buy himself a refreshment.

We then went back to the hotel room and lights out. Unfortunately because of Master's cold, everyone wasn't able to sleep until like, about 3 a.m.. Bless you, Master.

Rainy day at Genting Highlands

The next morning, we woke up at about 9 a.m.. We then went for breakfast at First World Plaza, then back to the hotel room to pack up all our stuffs, and checked-out. We dropped by at Starbucks outside of Highlands Hotel, grab a few refreshments, and headed to the cable car station where we boarded a cable car and go back down. Halfway through, it started to rain, and water started to drop inside of the cable car, and then it got all misty when we went inside a cloud. When we got out of the cable car, there were like a hundred times more people queueing for the cable car!!! The line went all the way downstairs!!!! Yeap, this is how Genting Highlands is like during the holiday seasons, so plan carefully.

We took a bus back to Kuala Lumpur, to KL Central, and took the commuter train back home, and Dad picked us up at the station.

Baby mice!!!!

2012-05-30T18:11:00.002+08:00

Hey guys!! Guess what!!?? Remember I told you that we got some pet mice?? No? Nevermind.
But anyway, we have pet mice. At first, we bought 2, then 1 died after a few weeks, and then we had one left which lived for another.... like half a year, and it was a male, and then we got a new mouse more than a month ago, which is a female, then the old one died a week later. Another week later, Master came home from school, and checked on the female mouse, and saw BABIES in the cage! The babies are now a little more than 4 weeks old, 4 weeks and 3 days to be exact. Just remember it was 27 April 2012, the day before the Bersih 3.0 event. 6 of them were born, 1 week later, 3 died and was eaten by the mother, it sounds cruel, but it's because the mother knows that they could not live in this environment any longer, and that the mother needs extra protein. We don't know wether the mother was impregnated in the pet shop, or was impregnated by the old male mouse.

And now... what you've all been waiting for.....

Inception: A Possibility

2012-03-21T19:48:00.002+08:00

Imagine, for just a moment, inhabiting someone’s mind – living within their dreams. You have free reign to mold and shape their reality as you see fit, directing the course of their life by impressing ideas upon their subconscious that’ll dictate the actions they take, changing their world forever, almost like a group of dream navigators, Now, Inception is just a movie – a work of pure fiction – but the idea of planting an idea in someone’s mind is not. You can’t necessarily access someone’s dreams, but you can have access to their subconscious, where their most influential thoughts and ideas come from and where inception can, in fact, take place. Like any powerful tool, inception can be wielded for good or evil. Use it to help others help themselves and you’ll be a silent influence on their success. Use it carelessly, and risk destroying important trust and relationships. To understand someone’s greatest hopes and dreams is to understand the core of who they are. Think about your own goals. You build your entire identity around these things. Every action that you take gets weighed in your mind as to whether or not it’s helping you achieve what you really want out of life. When your whole identity is wrapped up in something, you’ll do all sorts of crazy things that casual observers would scratch their heads at and disapprove in trying to achieve it. That doesn’t matter to you because if it works, it’ll be the greatest accomplishment of your life. Every single person has this ideal, but some hide it better than others. If you want to find it, the only way that’ll really work is to do ten times more listening than talking. People will tell you exactly what they want from life if you’ll only listen. It’s common to want to talk about your own life and your own desires, but to really get to know someone, you kind of have to shut up long enough to hear what they have to say. Build in yourself a sense of extreme curiosity. Ask lots of questions and listen intently. We’re reluctant to tell each other exactly what we want in straightforward terms for fear of being thought silly, but we’ll hint at it in everything we say. Learn to read between the lines and you’ll see far beyond the face value of someone’s words. You’ll see their most intense wants and desires for their life. Once you have that nugget, you have the key to their mind. Now you can start forming the ideas that will help them achieve it completely undetected. The human mind rejects creative ideas that aren’t genuinely inspired, so if your mission is to win the heart and mind of someone that disagrees with you, whatever idea you want to give them must not look like it came from you, but from within themselves. How do you do this? By framing it in their own language. If you haven’t tried it before, it’s rather incredible what people will tell you about themselves when you listen. As the late Dale Carnegie liked to say, “The sweetest sound a man can hear is that of his own voice.” It’s human nature to want to get your own point across, but it’s a folly to do it before you understand how it will be perceived. Everyone has a unique world-view that dictates exactly how they’ll receive an idea. If you listen long enough, you’ll find out exactly what the world looks like to someone. Once you have that, you have all the tools you need to drop the right hints and ask the right questions that will fit your idea into their own dreamscape. Be careful how you present your idea. Don’t come right out and offer it. Instead, lead into it and let it be discovered. The best way that I know how to do that is play dumb. When someone comes to you for help with something, you might have exactly the idea they need to fix their problem, but if you offer it to them, they won’t follow through because any success they have is your accomplishment, not theirs. Instead, lay out the pieces and pretend like you can’t put it all together yourself. If you toss enough hints out, they can make the important connections that lead to the solution by themselves. All of a sudden, it’s their idea instead of yours, and that makes it far more potent. Take no credit for your idea. Instead, congratulate them for discovering it themselves. Remember that inception, like any other tactic, is a tool that can be used for good or evil. What constitutes the two always depends somewhat on the person making the judgment, but inception is not just a useful tool; it’s a required one for any form of leadership. That’s what leaders of every walk of life do; they set the direction of the ship for their followers and allow them to make the decisions that actually propel it there. They get to know the people they’re helping and how they’ll receive different ideas, then create an environment that enables them to put their own pieces together. You can layout all the instructions and tell people exactly what to do, but then you’re not a leader, you’re an instructor. An instructor’s reach is limited; a leader’s is not. So, feel free to use inception for your own goals but, of course, do so with noble intentions.

Déjà vu: Explained

2012-03-21T19:47:00.001+08:00

Déjà vu is a feeling of having experienced something in the past in spite of the experience being a new one. Some attribute it to disorders in brain while some link it with past life.

On seeing something you had never seen before, have you felt to have seen it? Have you sensed of knowing something that is yet to happen? It was Déjà vu. What is Déjà vu? Déjà vu is the phenomenon wherein one feels sure to have experienced a new situation previously. While facing an entirely new situation, one feels a familiarity with something experienced in the past. One feels to have been through the same thing in recent past or to have seen it in a dream. Most of those who get the Déjà vu feeling claim to have seen something in their dreams or are pretty sure to have seen it some time ago.

Interestingly, it may so happen that one of the human eyes perceives a certain thing before the other. One eye records the incident earlier. The other eye, which records the same incident milliseconds later, makes the brain get a feeling of recollection. One eye perceives something and the brain interprets it. The other eye that lags in time by a few milliseconds perceives the same thing and sends the image to the brain. As the brain perceives the same thing milliseconds later, the person senses it as having seen it before. This idea cannot be an exact reason behind Déjà vu, as people with only one eye, also claim to be experiencing Déjà vu.

Not everyone believes that everything has a science to it! Some theories attribute Deja vu to certain psychic abilities that some human beings possess while others say that Deja vu feelings are a result of past life experiences, However I say that Déjà vu is actually a glitch in the matrix. Indeed, Deja vu has something to do with the so called ‘world’ that we live in!

Christmas 2011

2011-12-26T16:28:00.000+08:00

Well, I guess right now isn't too late to say Merry Christmas!! Well, seriously, Merry Christmas everyone.. And hope you all had a Merry Christmas yesterday. If you'd like to share some of your Christmas thoughts, feel free to share them by commenting on this post, down in the comment section below.

So anyway, this Christmas, we celebrated it with our cousins and the family, we went to a place called Gold Coast Resort, Morib, it's a beach resort, and it was a fun place, unfortunately, since the sea is actually the Straits of Malacca, where most ports and oil processing plants are built, so it's not really that clean to swim in, and also, during the day, the tide can reach really far, leaving the beach as a muddy desert. And during the evening, the tide can reach fairly close to the Water Theme Park, yes, there's a water theme park there, something like Sunway Lagoon and Tiara Beach Resort, but that water theme park, compared to Sunway and Tiara, is very small and very crowded, everywhere you go, there's people walking around and water splashing from the water slides..

le waterpark

Oh yea, and you need a wrist pass to enter the theme park, complimentary entrance for hotel guests only. So anyway, I was upstairs in the room, looking down seven stories and saw Master and Kai Min queuing up for one of the water slides. D'oh, how happy they were, while the girls are just walking around in circles.

le Master and le Kai Min sliding down le waterslide

After that, they came back up, took a bath, Oh, and there's this huge, well, not really, quite small actually, anyway, err... Bathtub, with Jacuzzi, a shower head and two headrests. So, Master and Kai Min were in the bathroom, filling up the bathtub, chatting, fooling around with the water supply, and so on...........

Then we went to the other rooms and had something to eat, watching some TV, then Dad asked Master to go to this bar on a pier, The Pier, and ordered a bucket of Carlsberg with 5 bottles in it, and, well.. it was for 6 persons. We watched as the sun sets, and the skies grow darker and the waves go by as the tide rises. It was really relaxing and fun. And, Oh, here's some pictures!

After finishing those beers, we head off for dinner at a nearby restaurant, just about five hundred meters from the resort, just outside it. So they had some supper, since it's already 9 p.m. when the food arrived. I mean... They were starving!! Even the food for the children's table came earlier than those for the adults table! By the time the last dish for the children's table, the first dish for the adults just came... And also, for that spare time, Master went walking around the restaurant, which is located by the beach, we went to the beach, looked at the stars, saw some hermit crabs, and walked around.

And after dinner, we went back to the hotel, and celebrated our Christmas! We opened presents, well, obviously, opened a bottle of champagne, watched some TV, hang around, and went back to our own rooms to get some sleep, and watch some TV, well, err... Master and Kai Zhi were the only ones awake that time to watch TV 'till that late, watching the VGA Video Game Awards 2011 on 8TV, until sometime around 2 a.m.. And yes, Zoe and I were still awake, I was watching that too.... And MW3 got the Best Shooter Game of the Year!! How cool is that!!??

Ehhemm.. sorry about the nerd talk, anyway, I was sayin' Master and Kai Zhi stayed up 'till 2 a.m., to watch that show........

The next morning, we woke up, and had breakfast, some went to the lobby to have a breakfast buffet, which was claimed to not have that much food.... while the others, including us, ate in the room, Aunt Jenny brought a multi-purpose cooker, fried some eggs, some sausages, made some omelette, and cooked some noodles.

Then, they went down to the water park, had some fun for a while, and it's back to the room, shower, pack up our stuffs, ate some snacks, and check out, and it's off back home for the new year!

And that's pretty much it! Thank you all very much and hope you liked this post, those of you who went, hope you enjoyed, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and wish you all happy new year, and good luck for 2012!!

Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 - My Opinion

2011-12-21T21:02:00.001+08:00

This post is for gamers..

So recently, Master bought this new game, Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, for a price of MYR189. And we've been playing it for a few weeks now. We installed it on our 2010 White MacBook on Bootcamp with Windows 8 Developer Preview Milestone 8102 with 40GB partitioned Hard Drive space of a 250GB Hard Drive.

We first played Campaign, and we completed it in 7 hours, not really that good, we're just beginners, but, we got the hang of it. Just on Monday we played a new game of Campaign and completed it in 5 hours, we improved a bit, but Master's friends completed them in just 4 hours, 50.3%.

Then we played Special Ops, Survival Mode, survived 12 waves for Resistance, 8 waves for Underground, 6 waves for Village, and 13 Waves for Dome. Don't worry, we'll try our best, and we'll try to improve. And we'll keep you updated for any new achievements in the game, add us on Steam @ IsaacTan97.

2011

2011-12-21T18:24:00.000+08:00

Hey to all you folks who are still alive and are reading this, well, I hope you had a wonderful year this year, after all, it only comes once every calendar... As by the title, I'm gonna talk a bit of my life in the year and the previous years

2011 has been a great year for me, I've done many things this year, and so goes to Master and Zoe, dedicated to us all. We had spent a great deal of time together throughout the years, learnt many new things, done many new things, avoided many new things, and so on.. No, it's not the end. But this time, next year it will be, perhaps, hopefully not, period.

So anyway, back to 2011. This year, we went to many vacations and trips, and we enjoyed it very much, as much as we enjoy the previous vacations, trips and adventures throughout the years. This year, on March, we went to Genting Highlands again along with our cousins. On June, during the mid-year school holidays, we went to Cherating with our friends, which, Zoe and I have never met before, so we made quite some new friends. On September, we went to Cherating, again, but this time, along with our cousins and the family. Just last month, we went to Beijing, good times... Met some new friends there, done some achieving things, and no regrets, well, except for the pair of headphones Master bought... but seriously, it was fun and we had a great time. We had some fun and great times this year as well, I hope all you readers have too. If you'd like to share anything, feel free to comment and share your moments, make your day. If you'd like, I can publish it as a post :)

So, do comment if you have anything to say, share any post in the blog, or even just the blog.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Brace yourselves for 2012...
Just kidding, Happy New Year!
But, seriously, things happen....

Period.

Trip to Beijing (Day 5, Last Day)

2011-12-08T20:53:00.001+08:00

So, today's the last day. Well.. the last half day. And it's the same as each morning, wake up and do those stuffs... breakfast and off. That's pretty much it, then from our hotel, we checked out, and we just went straight to TianJin across the straight cross country highway, for an hour an a half. Then we went to this mall where there's this market that sell all kinds of foods, we tried them out, not bad, and we had McD for brunch, not much, just some sandwiches. And then we had lunch at this seafood restaurant somewhere in that mall, and it's off to the airport.

Pretty much... that's the end. Goodbye Beijing, see you soon. I'm already missing those wonderful 5 days of our lives. The good times we had.

So we listened to some music, watched some movies and had dinner and supper on the plane. We arrived at Kuala Lumpur at around 10, and reached home at around 12, Kai Zhi's parents came to bring him home and we unpacked our stuffs, and went to sleep.

That's the end.

Trip to Beijing (Day 4)

Day 4, wake up, shower, change, breakfast, wait, up the bus, and off….

We went to this place… I clearly don't know what it's called, and I don't know what we went there for, and the humans had a foot massage with soaking their feet in a hot tub filled with traditional herbs tea at 42 degree celsius.

Then, we went to the Capital Museum of China, there were many exhibits there filled with interesting artefacts from centuries ago, some even a millennium ago.

That is one long script

After that, we went for lunch at a place just opposite the Olympic stadium. When we're done with lunch, we walk to the Olympic Stadium, the Bird's Nest, and the Water Cube. And there's the IBM Building, odd shape… we hang around there for like 30 minutes or so then we head off to the Summer Palace 颐和园.

There was a beautiful view of a lake, with a temple, and a huge palace, huge garden, small ponds, trees. Then we saw this guy, using a giant ink brush to write things on the ground. And we saw many interesting places for the emperor and empress last time. And then there's some boats, but we didn't went on it, we just exhibited the palace, you know, taking pictures, and that's just pretty much what we do in these ancient places, take pictures, then posting on Facebook, and this Blog.

Tbe freaking weather

For dinner, it was our own expenses, so we went to this market where they sell all kinds of food, and there's a shopping mall, and a department store. So we saw many kinds of weird food like, fried insects and some things we've never even heard off, then guess what, Master, Mama, Kai Zhi and Dad, ate…. roast pigeon!! Oh Lord…. but Zoe and I don't mind because we're used to seeing people eating birds, but after all, that was their first time trying something new… then there's this grilled squid, huge! on a stick! And…. more scorpions, centipedes, spiders, crickets, lizards, roaches, millipedes.. and all that crap. N0 offence.

Trip to Beijing (Day 3)

2011-12-07T19:16:00.001+08:00

On our third day, we.. well, woke up, showered, crossed the freezing corridor, to the lobby, had breakfast, wait in the lobby, went outside, saw the giant factory pipe polluting the air, and went up the bus and off. Oh, and, our tour guide, he speaks of funny words, especially when he translates them into English since there's also some Malay friends in the group with us. And he speaks English in a sort of glitchy weird way… it was kinda funny though, Master and Kai Zhi always imitate him and listen closely as he speaks.

As we went to the Beijing City, we saw this extremely tall building, which is the tallest building in Beijing, the Beijing World Trade Centre, and then the CCTV headquarters building, odd shape..

After about half an hour through the straight highway towards the northern region of Beijing, we arrived at this Jade Factory, where large Jade stones are carved and shaped into beautiful sculptures, like this one that looks like a miniature hill with a miniature villages and buildings, that took like 3 years to complete, and it's very inspiring and every single detail, astonishing! but not for sale.. But there's some more inside the shop, Globes, towers, the size of a man! and some that look like animals, some are actually utensils and furnitures, made of pure Jade! quite expensive though.. well, most of them.

Then it's off to the Great Wall Of China 万里长城! the largest man-made structure in the world since thousands of years ago! Up to six thousand kilometres long, this man made structure stretches out half the length of North China! Amazing! It's clearly visible from space! We first start at the main entrance and then everyone is free to climb by themselves… but Kai Zhi decided not to climb because he's afraid of heights… And we even went up to some of the watchtowers and took some astonishing pictures. Surprisingly, Master actually went pass 6 towers! And took some beautiful pictures! The best among the group! What took him half an hour to climb up, only took him less than 5 minutes to get down, and he went down to the main entrance, and still have enough time for him to go down to one more tower, and came back up, walk back to the bus… Dad and Mama couldn't find us at first, and then Dad went to the bus and found us sitting right there, and Mama was still looking for us… So after some of us have came back to the bus, everyone started to discuss about their climb of the Great Wall.

There's the Great Wall of China... then there's Dad by the left bottom corner

After that tiring climb, it's time of some refreshments, so we went for lunch, and more.. roast ducks… and beer~~

Then we went to the 宝树堂 Bao Shu Tang medicine factory and learn about what makes their products so effective and useful all around asia for many decades.

And then we went back to the city, and had dinner at the Silk Street 秀水街, there's where go get to buy things at a surprisingly and extremely low price, most of the things they sell are counterfeited, but you'll have to bargain with these people in order to get a cheap price, for example at first it was like RMB500, the moment you say you don't want it, they'll ask you how much you want, and then you'll say the price you want, they'll argue with you, you'll have to be strong and argue, they won't give up until they sell it, they don't care how much, they just want to get rid of it, then you keep bargaining with them, then in the end you always get the price you want, these people are crazy… but you got what you want~ and then we went to have some dinner, and back to the bus.

We stop by at the Beijing City TV where there's this huge LCD screen on top in the ceiling, displaying love dedications, displayed on top in the ceiling! Then it's back to the hotel to watch TV, shower and sleep.

Trip To Beijing Day 2

2011-12-07T17:30:00.001+08:00

The next morning, we woke up and went to the lobby to had breakfast, but in order to go to the lobby, we had to go down to the ground floor of the building which is open, so it's gonna be cold, then we had to cross this corridor which is also open, and it's freezing outside early in the morning at 6.30 a.m.

Master and Kai Zhi observing "Air Pollution"

We had breakfast at a restaurant next to the hotel's main building lobby. Then we went outside to wait for the bus door to open, while there, we saw this huge factory pipe outside the hotel releasing tons of smoke, which Master and Kai Zhi calls it The Air Pollution, plus it runs 24 hours non stop, and keeps on releasing smoke day and night, which is very common in cities like this… Then we head of for the trip for day 2!

First, we went to this place called 什刹海 (Shi Sha Hai) which isn't really a sea, but a lake. The story of how it was called that is very interesting, you see, last time, the Mongolians, they live in grass fields in mountain ranges, far from the sea, so they have never seen an ocean before, but when they discovered this lake, because of it's size, they assumed that it was a sea, so they called it 什刹海. And there's a Starbucks there which they bought some coffee, and went walking around 烟袋斜街 (YanDaiXie Byway), and saw some dogs wearing t-shirts running around freely, these dogs are very good, why? because they're scared that their owners will eat them… nah~ just kidding, but seriously, these people eat dogs! and birds! and Zoe and I are birds!

Starbucks!

Doggieeees!!!

Then we went to the Pipe Street Silk Factory, where we learn about the history of silk clothing in China, and how it came to be, so common in many furnitures and clothings these days. There we saw how silk clothings are made, layer by layer with silkworm cocoons, and outside, people selling nuts.. mmm.. nuts~ and more dogs running around freely. Then back to the bus, and we're off for lunch!

The Army of Insects, silkworm cocoons

Dead Silkworm Bodies

Nut Brittles!!!

At lunch, they had a steamboat, there was BBQ goat, some vegetables and meatballs. Of course, Master kept some vegetables for Zoe and I.

After lunch we went to the famous 天安门 Tian An Men Square, the Parlimen of China.. something like our Merdeka Square.. but you get the point, we walked around for a while, took some pictures, took a group picture of our tour group, then crossed the underway to the Forbidden City 紫禁城, it's a very interesting and historical place more than six centuries old. Before entering the main entrance, we had to walk through a huge park which took us around 10 minutes from the gate of the palace to the entrance of the so called Forbidden city. These huge red gates with some… erm.. "knobs" made of pure Gold!

Inside the palace, we went to a four star toilet with unlockable doors! how luxurious! yes, I was being sarcastic.. Then we head off deeper into the Forbidden City, with some interesting buildings built for the emperor last time… and we kept on walking for like an hour and a half….? Wow, that's one biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig house.. literally. During that time, there's this giant golden water tank, which was once golden and filled with water, but not anymore after the World War. The reason it came to be it that last time the emperor thought that as long as the tank is filled, his empire will live forever in peace. And there's also some large stone carvings along the stairs up every level of building around the palace, and there's this special building which happens to be the emperor's… toilet….? it's huge! and no doors!? Then there's the many different houses for the emperor and empress to stay every night, you don't expect them to stay in the same place every night, if enemies find out, they'll kill the emperor and empress! And at last, we exit at the emperor's garden, huge place.. And saw the emperor and empress' collection of rare lime stone sculptures and trees. Outside the palace, there's a huge river that goes around the palace for like kilometres long..

Kai Zhi in front of the Grand Theatre

Group pic!

After that, it's already like 5p.m. and we went to the Tea Factory, where we learn the many types of delicious tea and aromatic tealeaves which are famous all around the world. Then it's off to dinner at a buffet restaurant, with…. more… roast… ducks~~ and some beer!

Then it's back to the hotel to watch TV.

Trip To Beijing (Day 1)

2011-11-28T12:23:00.004+08:00

So, I haven't been posting anything for nearly 6 months now.... I apologise for that, but I'll keep you guys updated every once in a while, and not just when we go on trips and Master went on a school trip to Penang just about 2 weeks ago.

So, last Wednesday we went to Beijing, China, for a 5 days 4 nights trip. Yes... we just came back yesterday, and it was tiring.

On the day before we went to Beijing, our cousin, Kai Zhi came to stay the night for he is coming with us on the trip. He came at around 10 p.m. and Mama brought them for supper and they came to our house and hang around for a while. Then we go to sleep, it's funny because Kai Zhi did not sleep the whole night... while everyone only slept for 5 hours, and we had to wake up at 5 in the morning. At around 5.30 the taxi came and send us to the LCC Terminal where we will depart.

When we arrived at the terminal, we checked in and had a little snacks before getting on board. At 8.30 a.m. we went up the plane by walking across the road from the gate to the plane which is quite far, to be honest... and we took off to TianJin. The reason why we land in TianJin because it's the closest international airport to where we're going- Beijing. We had a 6 hours flight but it's not as boring as you'd think for Mama booked us a couple of Air Asia X Multimedia ePlayers which are only available in Air Asia X flights. At around 9 breakfast is served on board.... comes in small portions~~ that wasn't enough so they ordered some Hot Cup Instant Noodles. After 6 hours stranded in a flying machine flying across Asia, we arrived at TianJin International Airport at around 3 p.m. , where we met our tour guide for the trip, gathered with the rest of the tour group, and head off to the bus, which is parked outside the airport's parking lot, which is quite far, and it's freezing outside... At first it wasn't that cold, but as time passes by.. it gets colder and colder each day.. except for Sunday which it's maximum temperature was 10 Degree Celsius, but still that's cold, not compared to the other days which it reached negative at night and zero or slightly above by the day. It's winter.. what do you expect?

After heading into the bus, we head of to Beijing City which took us nearly 2 hours, pay attention to the highways and you'll notice it's straight all the way for hundreds of kilometres. and the beautiful scenery of the trees without their leaves and the near frozen lakes and paddy fields, the winter sun that sets early, by the time we reach Beijing at around 5.30p.m. and it already looks like 8p.m. in Kuala Lumpur. They had dinner at, they had.. oh Lord, I can't believe I'm saying this.. roast... d-d-d-u-u-u-c-k.. roast duck.. uh~ that was a good chance for the group to get to know each other for the first time after hours in the bus.

After the dinner, they went to watch an acrobatic performance show performed by a bunch of kids doing unbelievable stunts, like acrobats, and dangerous stunts, and cage bikes, kids on bikes running around in a sphere cage round and round horning all the way for like 10 minutes, at first it was only 1 but then they keep adding in until there's 4 bikes running and horning in the giant metal cage.. Then Master bought some popcorn, then we went outside back to the bus where it was extremely freezing, even Zoe and I felt it in the bag, and we head to the hotel to check-in.

At the hotel, we went down the bus, and saw a stall at the corner selling what kinda looks like satay, which was kinda funny because everyone saw it and thought it was satay, but it's not, but they keep describing it as satay.. how lame~

We checked-in and unpacked our stuffs, took a nice warm shower, where Zoe and I walk around the bath tub filled shallowly with warm water, then it's Master and Kai Zhi's turn to soak their feet and take a shower. And we watched some movies and head to sleep.

Trip to Cherating

2011-06-11T22:12:00.019+08:00

Hi Guys! it's been months since my last post, well, it's been a boring year, interesting things only happen to unfortunate peoples, we live out our lives normally, nothing happens....

Anyway, 2 weeks ago, yea, 2 weeks, internet down, can't update until today, exactly 2 weeks later, oh and Master got his iPad 2! unfortunately Apple touch screens and trackpads only react to certain types of surfaces excluding bird feet... he got that 3 weeks ago... Now for the story..

So we started on a sunny first day of the mid-year holiday, on a sunny Saturday morning, well, it rained early... but that was before we left, then we had breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, we go back home and change, prepare everything, such as FEEDING THE FISH, REFILLING FOOD AND WATER FOR THE MICE, GOING TO THE TOILET, PICKING CLOTHES, WASHING HANDS, etc.

Then we head of for a 3 hour journey across the country from west to east coast, on our way, we saw some..... well we saw nothing much, except cows crossing roads.... why, because Master and I were addicted to iPad!!! and Dad had his eyes on the road and Mama had her ears on the phone with the others.... yea, there were others, 24 others that is... it's like a reunion! that's because it is.... After an hour, we stop for a toilet break somewhere near Karak highway.... Then that's pretty much the last time we stop until we finally arrived at The Legend Resort Cherating, where Dad made a U turn after passing by a kilometre, because he found a place to have lunch, then he made a U turn, to go to the hotel to check in, yea, WE WERE FIRST!!! how great was that, we get all the keys and we go up to the room and put our stuffs, unfortunately the other rooms of that floor were taken, so we had to move to one of the sea view rooms, yes, of course there are extra charges... Then came the Yap family, who met us at the corridor, then we met the Chan family at the lobby getting their luggage out, then we wait for them to unpack, then we head of for lunch, which Dad already decided where to eat.

So the humans went for lunch, and Zoe and I were sitting in the car playing with the iPad, Master made some claw gloves for us which the surface that iPad screens react to. They had Ch****n, Fish, Vegetables, etc... all very spicy... and delicious... well, to humans obviously... And then we chat for a little while, then head back to the hotel where we saw the Soong family and the Lim family, and the Liaw family, gave them the keys to their rooms, then next destination, THE BEACH!!!!

We ran to the beach with joy and happiness, full of life and excitement, then dive into the sand and have fun! Master, Joshua and Ryan were like primitive men chasing each other collecting sticks and throwing then into the water, while they're the only boys there.... the girls went to volleyball, kite flying etc.

The boys were playing with mud balls while Zoe and I were playing Angry Birds in the room until we literally become Angry Birds... The boys also went for a dive in the sea, then they saw a yellow sponge!!! could that be SPONGEBOB?????

Then after an hour or so, the kids head to the pool, went for a swim, talk for a while play some games, head back up to the room, take a bath and get ready to go for dinner. We had dinner at a restaurant somewhere near a beach, then Master, Joshua, Ryan, Zoe and I were in the car watching Inkheart, while the girls were drawing on the windows with the fog... disturbing us.... then we made it half of the movie until we go back, but we didn't finish the movie...

We head back to the room, have a rest, the others were in the Yap family's room because they got internet connection on the balcony.... Yea, rooms do not have wifi, only the lobby has... but the iPad can't browse, the signal was weak... Joshua was in his room doing homework, while Ryan decides to sleep early, these two boys don't have fun, all they do is sleep and be scared... Then Dad brought the girls to the beach for a nightwalk, and Master also joined them. They saw many things that were washed to the shore, so muddy, so peaceful, so much invertebrates sitting motionless in mud puddles in the sand. Crab holes and beads of sand, we even saw some crabs running sideways along the damp beach quickly going back to their holes to lay eggs... Then they went back up, washed their legs and feet, and head back up to their rooms and call it a day, had some sleep and wake up in the next morning....

The next morning, Master's phone suddenly rang, we thought it was an alarm, and Master quickly panically press the reject button and went to the toilet, then Sara and Carolyn knocked on our door, and asked us to go for a walk with them, then realised that alarm was actually a missed call from Sara.... Then Master showered and decide to join them for a morning walk at the beach, we saw the sunrise, and some other things... then we head back to our rooms and wait for the others to wake up, then we go for breakfast at the cafe at the lobby next to the swimming pool. After the breakfast, the kids went to the playground to play, then they go to the room and watch TV and ''socialise'', then we go back down to the poolside, there we gathered to decide where to go, we decide to go to the turtle sanctuary, well, only the kids go, we saw many turtles of all shapes, colours and sizes, all swimming around in their little ponds....

Then we want to buy some coconuts sold by the roadside stalls.... we drove all the way upstate to Terengganu, well, the border was only a few kilometres from the hotel, then drove back down to Pahang, surveying for a place we can settle for lunch later, then we go back to the hotel, and the boys went for a swim, while the girls went for a bike ride... Oh yea, Dad and Uncle Lim went to play golf at Awana Kijal Resort in Terengganu, they left early in the morning like six-thirty a.m. or so..

Then we go for lunch at the famous Hai Peng Kopitiam at Kemaman, Terengganu, where they sell their famous special Nasi Lemak (Fatty Rice), Nasi Dagang (Trader's Rice), their Toast, very special, you have gotta try the toast, you go there, you have to try out the toast, and homemade coffee made fresh by the owner of the restaurant.

And the parents went to search for the famous Nasi Dagang (Trader's Rice), but.... unfortunately, they didn't open, and the kids were back in the hotel watching TV and playing games on their fancy phones.... then the parents came back and it's time..... time to GO TO THE BEACH!!!! they played on the beach for a while, then the girls went on the banana boat ride, and the Master, Ryan and Uncle Simon wait for their turn to go for the Airhead boat, where they sat down in their little seats and the boat pulled them on the water for 15 minutes, and they got so wet when the water splashed on them... Joshua didn't go for any of those rides.... he's scared of Jellyfishes.... and then Master too went for the banana boat ride with some parents and some other kids, oh yea, when the girls went for it, they flipped twice, suspended at the middle of the water and they wasted 5 minutes for the boat to turn back and climb back on.... it didn't flip at all the second time....

Then they went for a swim at the swimming pool, and then they played beach soccer on the mini soccer field they set up for us, and they also played beach volleyball earlier..

After that, we head back to the room and get ready to go for dinner! It was a half an hour drive to Kuantan town, where they eat at the famous Pak Su Restaurant, where they have famous delicious seafood.... There was the stuffed crab and some other famous delicious dishes... then they head down to the beach aside the restaurant, where they saw crabs crawling up the shore, running around mud, mating, laying eggs, and running around like cowards... then there were also stars in the sky... how nice, we never get to see this much stars in the city... then some idiot did a certain inappropriate thing to a certain person in our group........ IT's just a kid... with problems with ''shiny things''.... then it's back to the hotel, and gather to a room again only to use the internet... go back to our rooms and it's goodnight....

The next morning, we had breakfast together, and go back to the room, get ready pack our stuffs, and then the kids go for a snorkelling trip some 7 or 8 kilometres off the beach of the resort... Master says there were a lot of sea lice biting and stinging them.. they went for two stops, there we're also a lot of sea urchins laying on the rocks and sea bed, but not to worry, they wore life jackets.. so they're feet are no where near the sea bed or any rocks... but that didn't keep them from the painful microscopic stings of sea lice.... then they went back to the resort after an hour or so... pack their stuffs, and gather at a room to have lunch, this time we successfully bought the Nasi Dagang, and they enjoyed it much... After lunch, Master, Joshua and Ryan went for a complimentary ride on the ATV!!! yea, Master's bike have some problems with the gear chains... they keep falling off and the instructor keeps putting it back on... it's just the three of them, they each got their own bike! kids and the toys these days huh...

At last, it's check out time and leave the resort and stop by at the same restaurant where we had dinner at the first night... and it's journey's end.... the parting of ways and head back home.....

For the first time I actually get to meet Master's life long friends... ahh.... it was fun, better than Australia!

Trip to Genting Highlands

2011-01-12T16:20:00.005+08:00

2 weeks ago, Master, Mama, Dad, Aunt Jenny, Aunt Jennifer, Win Nie, Jonathan, Robin, Ashley, Jolin, Kai Zhi, Kai Ming, Shi Qi, Zoe, and I went to a place called Genting Highlands, Pahang, West Malaysia, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Asia, Earth, Sol lll, Sol System, Alpha Quadrant, Milky Way Galaxy. It is the closest place your can get near space in Mainland Malaysia. Genting Highland is a wonderful place, it is a city in the sky..........you can see it at night as if it is a city floating in the sky. It has many hotels, resorts, plazas and a theme park.

We woke up at about 8 o'clock in the morning before we left, then Aunt Jenny came to pick us up at 9, Master, Zoe and I went first with Aunt Jenny. Mama goes with Dad later that day. We went to Grandma's house to pick up Robin, Ashley and Jolin, then we head of for breakfast. After breakfast, we go to the Genting Skyway station, it is a gondola lift station. It took us more than an hour to reach there, and it took us another one and a half hour to queue for the ride. At last! it is ours!!!! we hitch onto the gondola and it brought us up to Genting Highlands, but you can also drive a car up........on our way up, we saw many interesting decoration they set up for us at by the middle of the jungle on the mountain. Master said there used to be statues of tigers, elephants and some other animals, but now it's just statues of flowers and a welcome sign.........it was quite a bumpy ride when we hit the pylons.....the last one was the bumpiest, that's when it speeded up to land in the station, hooked on the bullwheels and slowed down.......we got down from there and felt a sudden change in the temperature.....it was damn cold up there........it station was located at Highland Hotel, so we need to take a series of bridges and escalators to reach the main building, First World Plaza. Once we reached there, we went to chill out at Starbucks coffee.........we had a little chat and discussion while waiting for Uncle Elson, grandma and Aunt Margret to arrive. Soon after, they arrived and we head of to Ria Apartment to check in. They get to walk around the plaza while we have to walk hundreds of metres down with a series of slippery roads, passages and bridges to go down, and they even get to ride a car down! Win Nie and Jonathan were waiting for us at the lobby of the condominium. We checked in and went up to the room. We watched TV, chill out, warm in. Then they others came. Then, Mama and Dad came. Mama forgot to bring the bags of food supply that Aunt Jenny told her to bring, so Dad had to risk it.....and drive all the way down for 2 hours straight, back home, just to take a couple of bags with fishballs and vegetables in them, that took a less than a minute to accomplish, which is left in Mama's car, drive back up for another 2 hours and didn't stay there for long because he has work the next day.

Soon after, and all the sudden freaked the hell out of us, the annoying giant siblings that destroy silent peace wherever they go......came. The door is opened! They butch into the apartment and jump around the couch, climd onto the beds stick their heads out the window looking kilometres down, and spitting.......Master's peace was ruined when they switch away the TV channel while Master was watching cooking shows, and disturbed me and Zoe's sex.......Oi! I was reaching orgasm!!!!!! Then Kai Zhi said back to me "Oi! WTF!".....good times..................huh, good time..............

Then we had dinner, which the annoying ones nearly snatch away all the food, good thing we have backup food that was kept for extra serving in the kitchen.............after dinner, Dad, Mama, Master, Zoe and I head of to the "Music of ABBA by arrival from Sweden" concert, that is the reason we came.......the others didn't go, we just asked them to come so that they will not feel bored, because they haven't been there a long time, and so that Master will have peoples to fun with..............only the 5 of us went to the concert, the others went to the game arcade to play games.......and the girls went to shopping. The concert started at 8.10 p.m. and ended at 9.40p.m.. The concert was spectacular. We meet up with them at the Highland Hotel lobby, and we walked all the way back to the apartment, they even bought pizza! The humans ate and ate, then we opened presents! Nope, it was not Christmas, it was Christmas-mas, the Sunday. We even had a pretend Christmas countdown......as if 12 o'clock of Monday was Christmas.....opened presents......Master, Zoe and I hid in the room because they were spraying snow cans or as I like to call it "shaving cream for snowmen", it stink! it smells! it's smells like burning silicone with a dash of methane and nitrous fluoride!!!!!!! in other words, it has a toxic smell, but the others were.......immune!....to it.....Master got a pen, a lollipop, a T-shirt, a clock and a teddy bear.....Oh, and Dad went home after the concert. Then we go to sleep.

The next day, we woke up, had breakfast, watch TV, pack our stuffs. Then our second cousin, which are Robin, Ashley, and Jolin's cousins, came to join our group. We hang out for a while while waiting for the giants to finish their food. Then Aunt Jenny and Robin's parents brought us, the children, to the theme park!!!! We bought the all park family combo pass., which comes in one set, depending on the number of people, and we can go both indoor and outdoor theme park anytime on the day valid. We first go to the outdoor theme park, because that's where there are the longest queues, especially the most extreme rides.....we first ride the "Pirate ship" which swings back and forward. it wasn't scary at all.............Zoe and I sit in Master's bag pack. and Master left a small hole through the zip so we can see out......Then we ride the flying dragon, Kai Zhi and Master overhear a little girl that comments every move of the roller coaster to his father, "It goes fast","It goes slow", "It goes indoor", "Then it comes out","Then is slows down", "Then is twists","Then it turns up","Goes fast","And then stops","The people get down","The people get up","Wait for it","And then it moves" and the whole process continues until it is her turn......When we got onto it, she starts again.....and she's even sitting behind Master! She tried not to scream.....but instead, shouted the comments in his father's ear. When we got down, she says it wasn't scary, which is true, and then keeps on talking................and talking...........even when riding the cyclone, but this time it was worst, she cried when the cart was going down, and cried the rest of the ride, and cried out the ride, and cried away......from us......Jolin didn't went to the cyclone, she went to ride mini trains and antique cars with her mom.........and she didn't ride the rest with us, she only ride the pirate ship and flying dragon with us.......then we go for lunch at Mc'D!!!!!!! After that, we go for the indoor rides, we first went to the Euro Express, which was apparently, another roller coaster. Oh, and, on roller coasters, Kai Zhi, Kai Ming, Master, and I, when we reach the extreme part, we will shout, when potential energy is storing, we shout "Let's Get Retarded!!!!!", then when falling, we shout "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" until the nest potential energy charging field or for the rest of the ride......(shout quote inspired by Retard Ricky Chao, in the intro of his every videos). but not on the pirate ship, and flying dragon, because the extreme parts are slow........we shouted it twice on the flying dragon, the first one was embarrassing for we did not know that was just a wind up track, the extreme part was actually near end, when we shoot out from First World Plaza and then slowly spin back up, and stop....., and saw quite embarrassing photos taken during the ride, which is to be sold to those who want as a ride souvenir. Then we head for the cyclone, then lunch at Mc'D!!!!! Then we ride the Euro Express, at least the Euro express is more extreme that the flying dragon, it has sudden turns......!! This time, we all shouted! Then we went to the Rolling Thunder Mine Train, which the station is in a cave.......we were lucky, there were no line when we got there, the only thing that caused us to take the second ride is because we wanted all to go together, plus there's a few fat dudes that occupied one cart, so if they weren't so fat people would get a chance to go first! When we got down, the line was formed, and it only took a one minute for one entire line to stretch from few metres to more than ten metres, until outside the ride station entrance. We then go check on Jolin, and met this douchebag who happens to be another one of our second cousin, who comments on everything, and rubs it in our faces as if he knows everything around Genting Highlands.......(in which he does, but not entirely everything, but most of the things because he goes there very often, like a few times a year or so, because his parents are wealthy gamblers that go there to gamble often, and most likely to rub it in with his annual them park passport that has unlimited entries for one year. which anyone can apply it very cheaply, but no, he has to show it off to us!). He annoyed us in everyway.....he even got lost! he is so familiar to the place, that if he gets lost, he knows just what to do, where to find us, and if he can't find us, he'll wander off for a while buying things and then go back to the hotel room....like Docken, when he got released off to Jinjang, found his way home few days later.

After that, we go to Dinosaurland, which that boy apparently, spoken the most, spoken all the way on the ride, even before the ride he's already detailing about it, so we promoted him as tour guide, but that didn't stop him, he spoke even more, he spoke about every ride, and he got way too personal too soon, and shouted out he has a laptop computer, and shouted out his room number, his phone number, where he lives, what he does privately and shouts out his personal information...................and threw fish food on a stranger......and ate one pellet.....When the ride came, which is a boat, he has to say it out, as if we're blind, or as if the boat is invisible and he's the only one that could see it, shouting out like he owns the boat or something......we got on the boat, he acts all smarty pants and tells us which position is better to sit on and tells us all mathematics, angular positions, buoyancy, weight balancing all that floating on water stuffs, the he throws fish food all around even though there's no fish around the area (There is a stream for the boat to go on with fishes), and rubs it in that he has enough money to buy all the packs of fish food, but he said he only bought 3 because he wants to "save money". And then he talks about the details of the ride, and what will happen in the cave with fake dinosaurs, and he even needs to shout out to us that the dinosaurs are fake as if we are stupid enough to think they are real! We all can't take it anymore, so we have to use sarcasm to say back to him. And Robin can't take it anymore that he pretended that he doesn't know him at all. But he just goes on and on and on and on until the end of the day........@_@.........

Then, Robin, Kai Zhi, and Master went for the Go Kart, Kai Ming also queued but he hasn't got his identification card yet, so he can't, you must be at least 12 years old and 1.52 metres in height to drive the Go Kart, Kai Ming's height was acceptable but not his age......quite a great height for that kind of age.......Robin queued first while we went for the boat ride, but we ended up on the same track.......Master picked a kart that is apparently, the slowest.......but at least we get to enjoy the breeze that will freeze your hands when a lot of pressure is applied to it, when Master's hand did, steering the kart and controlling the direction, holding on the steering wheel at all times because it is not set straight, in the end Master's hand was burning with frozen sweat and skin oil. The girls excluding Jolin, went to ride the space shot, they were daring......but not our "commander" he dares to do anything, he can do anything, but he can't handle gravitational repellant, at first he said it is not very scary, but when he saw someone cried, and he decided quit the ride! even on the Dinosaurland boat ride, at first he said he wanted to because it's "fun", but in the end he quoted it lame.....what a douche......

It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and so we queued up at the corkscrew, but we will have to wait for it to re-open at 7.30p.m. and so we did, we took the second turn, again, although we were one of the first groups in line......I didn't go on this ride, otherwise the bag will fall 'up' when we reach the upside down part. In this roller coaster, the extreme part shouting line was different, goes like this, when it is getting ready to fall, we say "Feelings inside", then when falling, we say "Oh Noooooooooooooooo.................", we said it is a robotic way (inspired by Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother season 2 episode 16 "Stuff", during Barney's one man show when he pretended to be a robot that is keening to let his emotions out). After that, we exit the theme park, but there's another ride, the flying coaster......! Which we are begging to ride everytime we pass by it......and it came true.....we get to ride it! that would be RM25 per human body and RM25 per human soul, so that makes RM50, the prize for one living breathing human is RM50, we have to pay extra for this because this is a signature attraction, not a regular ride. but I didn't get to ride it either, they say no bags allowed.......=( .......They shout the same line as we did on the corkscrew.....When we came down, the "commander" rub it in our face again, saying it was not scared and all that, and when Ashley said she was cold, "commander" rub it in her face by telling her that he feels hot, and then takes of his jacket, and unbuttons one of his shirt buttons......what an arse......We then head of to our last ride, the 4-d motion master, which is not really 4 dimensional, they just call it 4d because instead of 3d sight, it has the actions and movements, and the reactions of how would it feel such as when something crawls on you, they'll probably spray water vapour of simply just air.....and the seats can move imitating the representing character. it is like a cinema actually......we had to queue for half an hour, on our way there were posters with IQ questions on them, we solve them together as one, but the 'commander' would shout out the answers to some of the questions, we shut him up by playing the silent game, he said he is very good at it, but he owed us dollars, 20 cents for one question......and in the end we finally shut him up, because we can't take it and have to say mean things to him.....! and someone has to kick his crotch......and in the end we finally escaped him, because we asked him to go into the cinema first, and he went in and never seen him again since then......we went in and watched it, the movie is called "The haunted house" the representing character happens to be a cat, our 4d experience is what the cat encounters.......the movie is approximately 15 minutes long. Half way through the movie, I mean not even close to half way, Jolin cried because she was scared of rats rushing out from a barrow......Ashley has to cover Jolin's eyes and asked her to take the glasses of but she's too panicked to do so, she jumped down from her seat and ran out the exit, crying for her mommy......We were sooooooo embarrassed......actually Robin was.....the rest of us didn't bother it..........and watched till the end.....and then we go back home.

We stopped by at Gohtong Jaya, a few blocks from the Genting Skyway station, to have dinner, or in other case, supper, because it's already night. We had dinner, had a little chat, and together, we quoted it as "The best Day Ever" or "The Day we'll never forget" or "The Day we'll treasure forever", Master quoted it as "The day I loss all fears" or "The Day I loss my fear of death". I quoted it as "The Day That birds don't need wings to fly" or "The Day that I became more human". We all head home and have a good night sleep, Master, Zoe and I spent the night at grandma's house because Mama already went back. We didn't took the cable car back down, we drove down, but Mama, Aunt Jenny, Grandma, Aunt Margret and the little one did because they went back early after checking out from the apartment. And we went back home and have a good night sleep and live happily ever after......THE END. I'm serious......

Trip to Penang

2010-12-11T16:23:00.000+08:00

Shalom Humans, sorry about the lack of update since earlier this year when Florinstein died, there hasn't been much interesting occurrences happening to me lately, until now, I am reporting live here in Bayview Hotel, Penang, West Malaysia, Sol III, Sol System, Alpha Quadrant, Milky Way Galaxy of this universe. And also, after Florinstein died, we got Phlox, who died one month later, which left Darwin, who died just yesterday morning before we left, he was buried under the exact same tree as all the other budgies. Anyway, let us start the journey.........

Before we left on our trip, we had breakfast at a nearby restaurant, then, we head of on a 4 hour drive to Penang. 4 hours later, we arrived, the oceanic view that we've passed by was beautiful, and we crossed the Penang bridge, that is the only way we can reach the island by car.

We arrived earlier than expected, so we head to lunch at a restaurant called "End of The World". Later, Mama, Master, Zoe, and I went of to buy some snacks and drinks and water, while Dad waits for us at the restaurant finishing off his large bottle of Heineken beer. We then head off to the Bayview hotel to check in.

After that, we rest in the room watching TV and eating snacks, an hour later, we go downstairs to the beach. Hmm.....nothing interesting here, just sand and annoying business makers bugging us to ride horses and ATVs, Parasailing and Jet skiing. Oh, and there's also this dog, who keeps following us, probably because we had Docken's scent, and Docken was kidnapped a few weeks ago, we waited for a long time, and he still hasn't come back, lets just hope he's alright. Dad believed that dog was a sign of luck, so he took a look at the collar license badge for the license code, so he could buy that number for the lottery, and the number was 5802.

Then we head to the pool, where Master, Mama, and Dad had a swim, while Zoe and I sun bathe, we met friends there, they were Crows, they're not bad at all once you know them, just because they're annoying doesn't mean they're not good.....

After that, we head back to the room to bathe and prepare to go out for dinner. Then, we head out for dinner, it was a half an hour drive to the city, Gurney Drive to be exact, we had dinner at a food court just outside Gurney Plaza, we ate so much food there.....we ate Popiah, Kuey Teow, Fried Oyster, Fried Carrot Cake, and many many other Penang delicacy, they we're delicious!!!! After that, we went to Gurney Plaza for a walk, then we head back to the hotel, by the time we reached back, it was already 10.30 pm, so we head to bed.

The next morning, we left at 8 o'clock in the morning, we we're suppose to meet up with Dad's long distance colleague, who live here, in Penang, but unfortunately he was sick, so we have to go off without him, we ate at food court, a different one, it was just simple food really, normal "kopitiam" food. After that, we head back to the hotel, rest, watch TV, go for a swim, bathe, rest, watching TV. It was raining just now this afternoon, the rain was really heavy, the hill behind the hotel was almost completely blocked by the mist, and we can't even see the sea.

Master and I are using the computer by this time, 1651 hour to update this blog, which the access is about to end, so the next paragraph will be resumed as soon as possible. Signing out now which is 1652 hours.......

Resuming blog post, the time now is 2143 hours, we just came back from dinner at the Long Beach food court, just a couple kilometres away from the hotel, it is just in front of the Long Pine hotel, then we go for a walk, around the streets. After that, we went back to the hotel. Mama and Master bought pizza........we watched a movie, then go to sleep. Next paragraph will be resumed tomorrow when we reach home.

The next day, which is our last day, is when our trip ends and we leave Penang and go back home. But before going back home, we went out to have breakfast, we had breakfast at a nearby cafe just opposite of the hotel, we had a delightful fancy english-american breakfast. After breakfast, we go back to the hotel and pack out stuffs and get ready to return home. On our way home, Mama says she wanted to try out "Cendol" and "Rojak", so we went to Penang Road, there we tried out the "Famous Penang Road Cendol" and we can't find "Rojak", so Mama bought "Asam Laksa" another Must-try food in Penang, also Kuey Teow and Kuey Teow Th'ng (soup) are Must-try food too, we tried them too........Then, it's off back home........The End....Oh, oh, oh! Wait, wait ,wait! There's one more thing.....we had dinner at Rawang, they ate Tilapia.......in a human response, I would most likely to say "Mmmm.....delicious...." after all, that restaurant is famous, it has branches too, everyone goes there to eat Tilapia...Anyway, trip ends, we reach home, I finish off this blog post, Master goes out to hang out with out neighbour, Ram, I'm done with this blog post, we go to sleep, Dad goes to a friend's house, we sleep, Dad comes back, everyone sleeps, we wake up the next morning, have breakfast, spend the rest of the boring holidays in peace and we live happily ever after, THE END.......seriously, this time is really The End, no seriously.....bye....get lost.....bye...The End....Man, I've gotta stop saying things after The End, happens all the time....Ops! there it goes again...hehehe.....bye...no seriously this time.....bye...bye bye....bye bye bye... bye bye bye bye....THE END, seriously, THE END....

R.I.P Florinstein

2010-04-19T17:49:00.000+08:00

Here lies FLORINSTEIN PEJRAN MACION
17 April 2008 - 19 April 2010
Florinstein had been inactive for the past 2 days, she has eaten much then, she nips on the millet spray all the time, until this morning, when Master woke up, he realised that Florinstein was lying on the floor of the cage, when he took her up, she was dead!!! Master leaved it there for 8 hours until he returned home from school, so that the actual owner or Master may give her dead body a proper burial that she may REST IN PEACE. And so he did, actually WE did, Master, Mama, Zoe, and me attended the memorial service an hour ago that we may give Florinstein a proper burial.

Farewell, Florinstein and thank you for all the fun you bring, you have been a wonderful friend to Zoe and me, and a great pet to our Master. You have lived a wonderful life and I hope you will have a better one next....

Our last day

2010-04-12T16:20:00.000+08:00

Hi guys!! sorry about the delay......

Anyway, I'm gonna start off with our last day in Bali. This is the day we'll be going back to Malaysia. It was a great time in Bali, and we all enjoyed it.

We went for breakfast first thing in the morning, Master wanted to eat at the at the hotel lobby, and so he did. But Mama and Dad went out to eat, so Master ate by himself. Later, Mama and Dad had finished their breakfast and went back to the hotel, they checked on Master. When he had finished, we went upstairs to our room. First, we changed, then we went to the beach. Master swam in the sea and collected more corals and some tiny clams.....he put then in a plastic bag and filled it up with sea water. Mama also had a beach massage from some license less amateur cheapskate massager that had been asking Mama to try it out since the evening we've arrived. And so she did, turns out it cost more than the real ones.

After that, we went back to the hotel and shower. Then, we pack up all our stuffs, watched a little TV, then checked out. We waited for the cab driver to pick us up to the airport. Dad asked the cab driver to bring us to the Kuta Bomb Memorial, we saw it all. There's this huge stone structure with a list of names on it, those are the names of the people who died during the bomb, and inside the stone structure are the bodies, which have decomposed and what left are the bones of the people, you never want to know what it's like inside there........After 1/2hour, we've arrived at the airport. We checked in our luggage, and we even make some friends over there!!!! And you never know when a miracle will happen, first, we made friends, then, our flight was delayed because of the lack of passengers during that time. The airport apologized to us by giving us boxes of.........Balinese CHICKEN rice from Mc'D.......you think you can say sorry to us just by giving us some lame boxes of CHICKEN rice, huh? huh? huh? I'm a cockatoo not an eagle or a hawk or a falcon......luckily Master still had enough supplies of bird cookies for Zoe and I. We'll have to wait until 4.00pm for the next flight to Kuala Lumpur. We made some friends there too, yes, I've mentioned that several times, we chatted with each other and talk about what we did during our trip, turns out the boy also likes to scuba dive with his father, in fact, he's a certified diver!!! So Master learned more from him, he also knew how to solve the Rubiks Cube!!! which, Master happened to have one!!! And he was also borned in the same year as Master do. His mother is a teacher at his secondary school, kinda awkard......Anyway, time passes fast when you're enjoying youself, the time has come for us to depart, but it's only 2.30pm, we went inside the terminal and waited, and waited, and waited. Master was hungry, so he went to a Mc'D stall to buy a cup of McFlurry, turns out, the stall doesn't make them, but in fact, order and delivered them, we ordered, the cashier calls, another person delivers, we queue, then we get our orders. After that, we queue to get on board, we went through the custom check. When we check on our hand luggage, the guard stopped for a while, we were scared, we thought it was Master's corals, but in the end, it turns out to be Mama's lotion bottles. Phew!!! close call....

Then, we got on board the plane and we're ready to take off. Bye Bali!!! We're going back to Malaysia. It was a beautiful evening when we took off, it was 4.30pm the sun is setting quickly as Bali is located slightly above Australia, so it's supposed to be almost the same time as Australia, but it is located in the equatorial regions of southeast Asia, and it is still Indonesia, it has to be the same time as the entire Indonesia, which is the same time as Malaysia. And we rested in the plane and had dinner in the plane. by the time we've arrived in Kuala Lumpur, it's already dark. Master took beautiful sunset pictures in the plane, when we landed at the airport it's 7.30pm.

So there you have it, our trip to Bali. The End.

Our third day

2010-02-24T17:14:00.000+08:00

It was our third day in Bali, it was Master's turn to choose where he wants to go......

First thing in the morning, we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and it was delicious!!!! After that, master tries out a ride of flying fox!!! Wow, how fun was that!!! well, i did went on it with Master though..... Master held me before he "flew" , then, when "flew" he released me and we raced down. But unfortunately, I won the race......After that, Master went for a swim. Then, we went back to our room to change, then we went back down to the lobby and wait for our driver to pick us up, once again, we were sitting by the pond for him to show up. Master and I was standing by the entrance to wait for him, and he came, and we followed him to find where is he going to, and we we're right, he was ours! His name is also, Made(pron. "Maa-di"), he's another person from a different company, he discussed with us about the places we're going, and we also made some "modification" to the package, by canceling some places and changing it, his boss charged us a little less. Ha! how nice was that! first stop, Benoa, where we will be riding in a glass bottom boat. We thought the boat was gonna be more shiny, more smooth, and frame less glass bottom, but stand corrected..... The boat was old, dirty, and rusty! There were barnacles and algae growing by the side!!! ewww..... The glass was framed, one of them were leaking! And it was dirty......

We rode the boat to an island, called, Turtle island, it was an island were you get to see turtles, from eggs and infants less than a month old to seniors up to a century old! we get to take pictures with them, and we even get to hold them! the holding charged us money, you know poor countries, they always want money. They even put a sign saying "Please do not touch","Sila jangan sentuh". Beside turtles, there was a bat, and there were reptiles and....BIRDS!!! Master took picture with a snake. That snake was looking at me! And it even KISSED Master!!!! I also took picture with an eagle, he's a "PRETTY BOY"......!

After that, we went back to the beach, and it was Master's turn to decide. It was supposed to be a snorkeling trip, but Dad doesn't want to snorkel. He suggested to go sea walking, but that's too expensive and way too far from the beach, so Dad suggested to go Scuba diving, and they did. it cost Rp600,000 (abt. MYR200) for 2 and lunch was included , that was cheap (seriously that's considered cheap)! They tested out the flippers and diving suit, Mom didn't dive(she's depth-phobic), but instead, she waited on the boat. Zoe and I didn't went, instead, we were taken care by the workers at the station.

Master's words: We saw many fishes there underwater, they were beautiful. We held onto the rocks and took pictures, they used a non-waterproof camera which is same as Dad's and they place it inside a waterproof camera frame. We moved from rock to rock and saw many different varieties of fishes and corals. The water was quite murky but the specimens were beautiful. I remembered that I was pushes down by the current when I accidentally let go off the rock. I fell down, but Dad and one of the dive instructors pulled me up. We were down there for about 20 minutes, but of course that was the limit and it was fun, I do enjoy it very much though. Then when we went back to chore, we had lunch, there was "Nasi goreng pataya" and "Maggi goreng pataya" and it was delicious.

After that, we skipped cultural park and head of to a placed called Uluwatu. Uluwatu is a place at the cliff by the west side of the Bali Straits, it was facing AUSTRALIA!!!!!! Darwin actually, not Tasmania........Anyway, there were monkeys!!!!! they don't scare me, hmm>!!!(spoke with pride) ha ha and ha!!!.... We were walking there and Dad was taking pictures, but Master didn't bring his camera down, why you asked?.....here's why and a story to be told. Mama told master not to bring his camera, and also his glasses, because......
Dad was taking a picture of a monkey, but then, the monkey wanted to go away towards the direction of Dad, we thought it was just trying to get away, but when Dad was looking at the photo, the monkey snatched away Dad's glasses!!!! Mom also did told him not to wear glassed, "but he didn't listen"(sassy accent) luckily it didn't threw it into the sea or anywhere unreachable from the cliff, it hung it on a tree branch! A staff was standing there guarding people and "HELPING" them reach their stuffs that the monkeys snatched away (they only did it for money, that's why i put inverted commas beside the word "helping"). I belive the monkeys were well TRAINED, so that they can PRANK US!!!otherwise the monkey would just throw it into the ocean. IT'S A SCAM I TELLZYA, IT'S A SCAM!!!!!! to trick you so that they could make money!!!!!!(spoke in a paranoid way) Anyway, don't get involved into their sneaky, wicked, cheap scams......they cost you many......they charged us Rp200,000, no discounts....... it's a scam, i saw them giggled...!!!!

After that, we head of to our last stop, also our last destination for the trip. It was suppose to be Jimbaran sunset dinner, but we went there the day before, so we went to Ubud, to eat the famous "Dirty Duck" :0 :x :( , no thanks, i'm a parrot, not an eagle

In Indonesian, it's called "Bebek Bengil", there was a story why it's called that, it's not because of the image of the food, but here's the the picture with the story:I know the words are too small, I'm lazy to type it in, anyway, to magnify it, cocopeachdiary.blogspot.com enables you to save this picture and magnify it.

Master's words: The duck was delicious, it's crunchy and chewy and juicy, sorry Co'ke, no offence

though. Winnie said it was expensive and she wasn't kidding, it's
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

After that, we take a 2 hours ride back to Kuta, and our last day ends.....time passes so, so fast!!!! it's already the last day, and we will be going back home the next day.
