Happy Valentine’s Day

2012-02-16T02:23:00.000+08:00

Well I’m sure lots of people spend this day trying to get ~~laid~~ a bf/gf, there are also people like me trying to live like we don’t give a shit, because we can’t xD #ForeverAlone

Anyway, while people are wasting their morning preparing for the romantic night plans, I got my ass out of my warm, comfy bed early in the morning, and followed my mum to her kindergarten LOL, just so that we could go imu later on to settle my payments and stuffs. There goes my morning and afternoon. (I had to wait until her classes are over, and kids just won’t stop asking what’s my name, thinking that I am their new teacher ==)

Evening? After I got back from imu it was raining cats and dogs, such a nice weather to date my bed.

For dinner, we went out and had bak kut teh :) Suggested that we should have a slice of choc cake as dessert, but my mum said, “Go get a bf to do this job.” ._. So we got home without satisfying my cravings D:

And that was my valentine’s day. How was yours?

Like I’d mentioned in twitter, Valentine’s is quite overrated to me. If you love someone, you don’t have to wait until this day to treat them good. Make them feel as if everyday is Valentine’s day :)

Chatime

2012-02-13T22:42:00.000+08:00

Cause dad has been reciting the word Chatime and mentioning it in almost every sentence ever since we told him about this popular milk tea LOL. He even tried to ‘force’ me to go out and buy it for him WTH. So in the end, we took a longer way to get home so that he can get this milk tea ==

Anyway, big expectation always ends in disappointment LOL. He said it was ok only xD
At least we won’t be hearing that word for a long time now :P

Got one for mum too :)

Basically I think Chatime is a little overrated. It’s nice to drink it once in a while, but having it everyday? I can see diabetes coming LOL. Sides, I prefer Gong Cha :D

Catching up

2012-02-12T23:42:00.000+08:00

Sorta. Actually we did catch up during CNY, but that wasn’t enough, and since we miss the karaoke session we used to have, so we planned another one. It was supposed to be a five people meet up, but we got ffk-ed by Anzhi and SookMoon (expected).

Had a five hours singing marathon with JingXuan and Eleng at a very cheap price :D And we had additional 15mins as the workers were too busy to collect our money LOL. Went BBQ Plaza to have our dinner as JingXuan missed it so much xD

Had a nice, long chat during dinner :) Man I’m gonna miss JingXuan when she goes back to Aussie on 16th D: Hopefully Eleng will be able to start uni on the same day as me *prays hard*

Snacks, S

2012-02-10T01:26:00.001+08:00

Of all the snacks you can get during CNY, I love the fried seaweed the most. And since it’s not so filling, I could finish half of it while watching dramas LOL.

And I was forced to go to my mum’s kindergarten on a holiday. Got kinda boring, so I went around taking photos of random stuffs. After I took this I heard some sound coming from the thick bush. As my mum’s kindergarten was ‘invaded’ by a cobra a few months ago, I got so scared that I literally jumped away from that bush. Who knows if there are more cobras hiding within it LOL.

Went to get some sulphur and sprinkled it around the kindergarten, but according to my friend it’s not really effective D:

Anyway, I smell like sulphur when I got home ._. Washed my hands for 3 times and yet I can still smell sulphur on them wtf.

CNY dinner ’12

2012-02-07T23:05:00.000+08:00

Cause we had one last year, (which unfortunately I didn’t go) so we decided that we should have another one this year, and probably make it a yearly thing :) The dinner was at Pantai Seafood Restaurant, highly recommended by Eleng.

Had lousang for the fourth time this year :O

Eleng said she knew how to do the ‘talking’ and pouring the stuffs on the lousang so she volunteered to do it LOL.

LOUSANG! :D (Photo credits to JingXuan.)

年年有余（鱼）

Never knew that escargot can taste so awesome in eastern style, it’s a lil spicy tho.

PRAWNS!

Pork knuckles

Fried sotong

A CNY dinner is not complete without rice :)

SookMoon was passing the bowl of noodles to ChongShin but she dropped it accidentally LOL.

Few shots with JingXuan :D (Photos credit to JingXuan)

A group shot before we left :) (Photo credits to Eleng)

Dilemma

2012-02-04T00:44:00.000+08:00

This might be a really whiny post, so here’s a warning, bear with me or just close the tab.

So I was offered by both imu and unsw, which both sounds good and I can’t decide on which I should go to. And I made a list of why I should go to either one of it.

Why imu?
1. It’s in Malaysia, I don’t have to think about my accommodation, food and other living expenses.
2. The fees are cheaper.
3. I can twin to UK, which is my first choice and also sometimes my last choice.
4. Homesickness can be a big problem sometimes.
5. I have friends here. I’ll have to make new friends there.
6. It’s 5.5 years for imu twinning while unsw is 6 years.

Why unsw?
1. Advance tech.
2. I don’t have to go thru all the application process and other stuffs again.
3. It’s easier to get a job in Aus than in UK.
4. Diff exposure, I assume I’ll be a better doctor if I were to go there.

I do have my reason of not wanting to go UK, but that’s personal. And the fact that I’m spending more than my brother if I were to go unsw makes me feel guilty. Yet I know I’ll be wasting a goddamn opportunity if I were to reject unsw.

So, guilt or opportunity?

Open house

2012-01-30T13:52:00.000+08:00

Came back to KL on the 26th cause mum had to do some ‘Kai Gong’ stuffs (a fengshui thing that Chinese believe will help in their business in the future). So I was able to show up at SookMoon’s open house :D

The main reason I wanted to go to Moon’s open house so badly is because I can get to see JingXuan’s bf xD Hello Chong Shin!

Moon, JingXuan and Eleng :)

JingXuan with her epic pose LOL.

A group photo before we left, with Quintin’s signature pose :D

And this of course.

Went to another open house on the next day – YengYing’s :) And a really special lou sang on the table, it was great :D

BS2 and KDU :)

Straits Quay

2012-01-26T01:14:00.000+08:00

It’s a harbour. With a new shopping center, and the population of foreigners there are probably higher than the locals. I mean, who likes the sun in Malaysia? Not us locals of course LOL.

Mind the gap, what a weird name.

Star anise, sounds like some ingredients / spices if I’m not mistaken. Too bad we weren’t allowed to go near the ships, else I’d be posing in it :P

One day I’m gonna own an express cruiser, and throw a party on it maybe. Joking, with that amount of money I’ll prolly get myself a Lambo LOL.

Basically it’s a nice place for couples, but definitely not a good place to go together with a bunch of nerds (my brother and my cousin brothers). They didn’t even want to enjoy the scenery, and kept bugging us to bring them to cc == Seriously you’re gonna waste this 4hour journey to Penang to play dota in a cc? #DoNotDateGuysLikeThese

Spasso Milano

2012-01-25T02:46:00.000+08:00

Let’s skip day 1 and day 2, cause they’re boring. Basically I visited different houses and got angpaos from the relatives.

Went to Straits Quay on day 3, since it’s a highly recommended place by my cousin LOL. It’s like a town full of foreigners, and since it’s a harbour, we get to see lots of ships and yachts. Oh and it’s new, that’s why we were there ._.

Lunchtime! Went to this restaurant called Spasso Milano to try out.

This curry puff like pizza was awesome :D

Look at the melted cheese, making me hungry at this hour :)

Ordered this Aglio Olio for my little cousin brother cause he’s so lost looking at the menu xD

Beef lasagna, according to my cousin it tasted like shit ==

Tiramisu :)

Penang is such a hot place, probably due to the weather :/

CNY eve ’12

2012-01-22T20:58:00.000+08:00

CNY eve is all about having reunion dinner, which is what I anticipate the most, cause I really love the food cooked by my aunt :D She can never fail to surprise me with awesome Chinese dishes. Too bad I didn’t bring along my camera to the dinner (Please, I was too hungry to even have the patience to take any photos.)

So after dinner I was back at my cousin’s house and this is her ‘son’: Yy the smiley plushie. I forgot how he got his name tho.

Yy playing the piano (my bro’s iPhone case)

CNY drinks, for kids.

Nga gu peng, something like that.

Guess what’s this?

Spent my CNY eve in the toilet bathing and got out only to realize that the fireworks had finished D: I didn’t manage to take photos of fireworks *cries*

Anyway, the most important part of CNY eve is when the clock strikes 12, I’m gonna jump and touch the door three times (According to my aunt, that’s a way to grow taller. And I’d do anything just to grow taller LOL.) HAHA

Deco :)

2012-01-20T20:25:00.000+08:00

This was a really late post, and I had to reset the time to a few days before CNY LOL. Because Penang has sucky wifi (I mean my cousin’s place) so I can’t upload any post D:

Helped my mum to decorate the house a bit. I don’t like decorating cause you’re still gonna take it off after CNY so what’s the point? Sides, no one is coming to our house during CNY, we are going back to Penang anyway.

Random shot of one of the Christmas decoration before taking it off.

Anyway, HAPPY CNY to everyone :D Good luck in this Dragon year!

New camera bag

2012-01-18T21:24:00.001+08:00

Went to Sunway Pyramid last week wanting to get some new clothes for the coming CNY, but I got no clothes, and bought a new camera bag instead ._. Saw it in Harvey Norman and fell in love with its colour :D #Manfrotto

White is so nice :D but the problem is, it’ll get dirty easily :/

It’s quite spacious, as I can fit my DSLR in with my two other lenses :) and an external flash too in the future. Aarghh I’m still in dilemma whether to get Sigma 30mm or external flash, cause if I were to get 30mm, there won’t be any point of buying the flash, but 30mm isn’t cheap D:

There’s another pocket for me to put some other stuffs in, eg the remote controller, wiping cloth for my lenses etc.

A souvenir from my former colleague who went to Singapore during Christmas.

Got this 2GB pendrive from the university I wanted to get in. I’d rather receive an offer letter than a pendrive.

A 4GB Angry Birds pendrive from my former colleague who went to Hong Kong.

A 4GB Canon 5D pendrive from my colleague. It’s so nice :D

Doubt that I’m ever gonna use this, it’s too precious to be used LOL.

I don’t get why guys love playing warcraft/dota. Is there any difference btw this two? Who cares, it’s the same to me. Shouting like a maniac at the computer as he’s skyping with his friend, asking for help and backup LOL. Some ~~people~~ guys just won’t grow the hell up.

談感情

2012-01-17T01:51:00.000+08:00

談感情
曲: 楊子樸詞: 劉力揚

淩晨的睡意被不安敲醒
安靜的城市冷得很徹底
我想起你的話你常說的字句
不被愛的疑慮開始泛起漣漪

幾杯紅酒也無法微醺
是否應該反省試著看清你的漫不經心

人說談感情先認真的就不會贏
我們愛上的那個總是會比較愛自己
為愛哭為愛笑卻找不到愛情難題的解藥
最後只能留下省略號

故事在繼續寂寞常攪局
沒有結果的愛想想有些掃興
誰的愛沒遺憾沒有孤單作伴
怎樣才能交換誰能給我答案

舉杯讓憂傷被按暫停
是誰發來簡訊也看不清還要故作清醒

人說談感情先認真的就不會贏
我們愛上的那個總是會比較愛自己
為愛哭為愛笑卻逃不了愛情困擾的魔爪
最後只能留下省略號

累不累什麼輸或贏只要真心愛就好
別因為被傷就將愛你的刺傷
錯的那麼囂張

有好多的话想说，但都是多余的。我觉得这半年来，对于某些事情有了不同的观点与看法，但我始终还是我。我觉得如果你想起我时，是微笑的，那么我已经很满足了。‘奢望’永远都只是个附属品。

相信我的人不必我解释，不相信我的人我何必解释？

P.S.久违了，刘力扬 :)

Dinner @ Shuen’s house

2012-01-15T23:58:00.000+08:00

Continue from last post.

So, we decided to have dinner together since we haven’t met each other for so long :D Shuen and Junkit went to get the stuffs we need for our dinner while Chingyann, Arissa and I went to the pet shop @ Curve LOL. Because Arissa wanted to look at the Chowchow (I still prefer dogs that can guard the house eg. German Shepherd, Husky, Golden Retriever.)

Anyway, we drove back to Shuen’s house and prepared dinner :)
Pic: Shuen cutting the salmon into cubes.

Junkit slicing the tomatoes like a boss. (He loves that phrase ==)

Shuen prepared this when we were watching tv in the living room :D

Chicken wings in process *drools*. Why was I in charge of this it made me even hungry D:

Salad in process.

Boil spaghetti, checked.

Finally, dinner is ready :D

Looks awesome and taste awesome too :D

We had a nice dinner :) and the guys helped to clean up the dishes and pots while we sat in the living room watching tv and Shuen playing songs from Final Fantasy.

Meetup (before & after Christmas)

2012-01-13T23:26:00.000+08:00

Planned to have a meet up a few days before Christmas, and it was kinda last minute, but luckily most of them managed to make it. We had a nice steamboat meet up @ Desa Parkcity and due to some personal reasons we couldn’t have it @ Chingyann’s house, so we had it @ a condo’s bbq place.

Anyway, caught up with Shuen, Cheechuen & Yunpin who are in UK, Arissa, Hanhoe, Kengseng, JunKit and Chingyann :) Had a good talk with the girls while the guys went strolling around LOL.

This was taken when Shennie arrived, HAHAHA posed like a nerd :P

A day after Christmas, we planned another gathering @ Curve, where Xuemin and Shuen’s friend, Tommy, joined us for this :)

Had some crazy fun shots with the camera on self-timer mode x) And these are some of my fav shots, the rest we look so lost LOL.

Me, Chingyann, Arissa, Xuemin, Tommy, Bond, Shuen and Junkit.

Why are we (Chingyann and I) the only ones posing like crazy while the rest have their poker face? ._.

Next up: Cooking @ Shuen’s house after singing session @ Curve.
It’s amazing we didn’t burn down her house xD Jk, we have a good cook here – Chingyann :D

Decisions, photos

2012-01-07T02:40:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I’m using ‘busy’ as an excuse again. Maybe I should trademark this word, I’ve been overusing it LOL.

Anyway, these photos were taken a week ago, or more. I haven’t had the time to play with my camera and I am back to watching dramas, eg House, HIMYM and TVD. And stuffs, decisions to be made, payments, medical reports which I haven’t done yet.

Waiting aimlessly for a reply from the university you dreamt of going is so suffering, and you have to face the fact that maybe you’re not chosen. I’m tired of waiting. And now that this cold fact of me not being good enough has slapped me in the face, maybe doing it locally isn’t a bad choice. At least, I don’t have to worry about my accommodation, meals and laundry. So yeah, I’m going to do my medicine course @ Taylor’s University Lakeside.

And I’m one step closer to chasing my dream. I’m grateful for this.

This was taken a day before Christmas eve. The cake was from my colleague, but I gave it to my bro as I don’t like icing (it’s too SWEET.) and I don’t eat choc cake (it’s choc under the icing.)

These were taken on New Year @ The Curve. I was with Quintin and Eleng @ TGIF, waiting for our food to come after we had a great ‘fake snow fight’ with strangers. That fight was epic, of course, as Eleng was attacked and she was covered in white fake snow LOL. Was quite reluctant to join in at first, as I thought it was too childish, but how could you resist not to spray Eleng when you have the chance? xD

I’m glad I wasted RM10 on the 5 bottles of aerosol spray. We left to search of pubs at 11.30pm (It’s so exhausting, running around spraying on random people and avoiding their attacks.) Most of them required a certain amount of money just to get in WTH, so we ended up @ TGIF. Shouting Happy New Year to random people around us was fun too :)

Thank you so much, Eleng and Quintin :)

Happy New Year 2012

2012-01-01T03:57:00.001+08:00

Had Subway for my last dinner in 2011 because every restaurant @ Curve is full of people D: Should have taken my dinner before I went out.

So it’s just Quintin, Eleng and me celebrating the countdown to 2012 @ Curve. 3 #foreveralone people wandering along the streets spraying fake snow at random people and having a good fake snow ‘fight’ with strangers :)

Eleng tried to force us to get bunny ears and wear them. No thanks.

We got damn tired after spraying fake snow and trying to escape strangers’ attack, so we wanted to go somewhere to have a drink. Ended up in TGIF cause all the bars were full with people LOL.

Fireworks were up before our drinks came :( Too bad we can’t have our shots at 12am sharp.

I suck in taking fireworks photos ._. And we just turned 20. Not sure what should I feel about this, damn I’m so OLD already.,

Ok, it’s 4am now. Goodnight everyone :) Have a Happy New Year!

Laser tag & Campfire

2011-12-31T19:38:00.001+08:00

The Galactic laser tag wasn’t sponsored, but the price is quite acceptable, cause it’s only RM20 / hour. And it was fun, except for the part that I have to play with some kids, and they’re such a sore loser. Oh well, kids...

Galactic Laser @ Mid Valley Megamall :D

The entrance looks so cool right?

Too bad I didn’t get a shot of me wearing the battle suit which looks like I’m in TRON, ~~with Olivia Wilde~~ xD But I got a shot of my score, and I was in the third place. Actually this battle is on our own, but I teamed up with 2 guys LOL. Of course, we adults beat the kids :P

In the evening, I helped to set up the campfire for the kids.

Yeah, we cheated. Was too lazy to use the traditional way ._. Sides, it’s been a long time and my skills are getting ‘rusty’.

Look at the amount of wood we’re gonna burn that night. CRAZY

And this is the campfire at night :)

Going out in a few mins time to meet up with Eleng and Quintin @ Curve for the countdown to 2012 :D
Can’t wait to snap photos of the fireworks.

Stay tuned :)

Zoo: Aquarium

2011-12-30T23:59:00.000+08:00

LUNCH! I didn’t eat these tho, cause all the drumsticks were ‘stolen’ by the teachers D:

Angry birds bag :D

Penguins, which reminds me of our penguin (See Yuen) in CH/scout :)

There are a lot of fish of different species @ the aquarium area of the zoo. But most of them are not colourful/nice enough so I’m just gonna post a few of them :/

Hermit crab

Back to the area where I helped out at the zoo during my zoo volunteering project. The deer, I wonder if it’s the same as the one last time which I fed it milk.

Yueesun’s favourite 中分头 miniature horse xD

From Yuee Sun’s blog - I know, this is too funny.

Zoo: Animal show

2011-12-30T23:56:00.000+08:00

One thing about walking with the kids is, you have to wait for them to catch up, and since running is forbidden just to make sure that they won’t fall down, I had to stop walking constantly LOL. So I didn’t really have much time to see all the animals.

A huge flock of flamingos :O

Baby goat :)

This.. this.. I don’t wanna talk about this filthy hippo.

Here we are @ the Show Amphitheatre in National Zoo.

Parrot performing some gymnastic moves LOL.

Did I mention that I love eagles? :D

Cause they’re so COOL.

Seal :)

I am impressed LOL. If I were the seal I’ll be a lazy seal that will just eat all day long, definitely won’t be training hard to jump thru hoops. *scout salute*

I don’t know what is this, it walked out like a boss, to the bowl. And after finish eating, walked back in, like a boss. On the pole.

Is this a parrot? No idea what is it. It flies around picking up money from the audiences’ hands.

Sea lion – balancing the basketball on his nose :)

It looks so cute when it’s begging food from the trainer :)

After the show, we made our way to the fast food restaurant, for lunch of course. When the teachers were arranging seats for the kids, I went to look at the deer beside the restaurant. And fed them with leaves. (Can’t do this in front of the kids or the place will be in chaos xD)

To be continued...

Back to Zoo, again

2011-12-29T00:18:00.000+08:00

Yeah, am so reluctant to go back to that place LOL. Thanks to you hippo ==

Here we are! @ The entrance of National Zoo ._. Oh well, since I don’t have to pay for it (sponsored by my boss), might as well enjoy this free trip.

The weird elephant-like office.

Giraffe :D

Weird bird with a weird pose, I wonder if it’s their mating season? xD

Emu.

Cute owl, especially the one on the right :)

EAGLE! My favourite :D

Malayan Tapir

~~Sleeping beauty~~ – lioness.

TIGERS :D They make a sweet couple – he/she was hugging her/him in the last photo :) *aww*

(I don’t feel like posting any photos of the kids.)

To be continued...

Merry Christmas :)

2011-12-25T01:25:00.001+08:00

Got my first Christmas present in 2011 and probably the last too. Not sure if I should feel happy or what, but I really love this camera pendrive :D

And had turkey on Christmas eve, with awesome red wine. Even tho I felt quite lonely, but I’m glad that I have all these to accompany me.

Being around with friends doesn’t mean you’ll feel the warmth that you’ve desired, as the only person that can really cheer you up is yourself.

Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone :)

Natural History Museum

2011-12-24T00:35:00.000+08:00

Continue from the last post, after visiting FOAHP, we went to the Natural History Museum aka Muzium Alam Semulajadi (MAS) @ Putrajaya too. The distance between FOAHP and MAS is about 10mins only.

Didn’t have a nice picture of the building. Anyway, this blue board is so obvious you won’t miss it LOL.

The only thing you MUST not miss if you’re gonna visit this museum – the Bryde’s whale’s skeleton :D

Actually the skeleton is kinda small, for a whale ._.

Yeah, everything that’s on display is made of real animal skin.

The fur is real :O

I didn’t know that Malaysia has Sun bear / honey bear. They’re so cute :)

Pangolin – a really shy animal. (I find it cute but I think most of the kids are afraid of it lol.)

BATS :D

Bat’s skeleton :D

Rodent’s skeleton.

Actually this museum is kinda, pointless. It is somehow interesting for KIDS, but definitely not a good place for adults. It took me about 15mins to finish the tour of the whole museum, and the info displayed on the board is not as detailed as the one you can get in Wikipedia. Like I’ve said earlier, the only thing you MUST see is the Bryde’s whale skeleton and that’s all.

Anyway, HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE :D Can’t wait for the turkey dinner :)

FOAHP 2 - rubber tree

2011-12-22T22:56:00.001+08:00

Yes, I’m still at the Fruit Orchard Agriculture Heritage Park aka FOAHP @ Putrajaya.

The last stop before we end this tiring walk under the extreme heat LOL – the rubber tree area. Got to see the process from tapping the rubber tree to making them into sheets of rubber before sending them off to the factory to be made into useful stuffs blah blah blah.

The ‘fresh’ rubber, just got it from the tree :)

After adding formic acid, we get ‘solid’ rubber. Using bare hands, press the rubber to make it thinner.

Put the rubber in between the rollers to squeeze out the excess water.

After that, soak them in water to wash away the formic acid on the surface.

The smoke house – to dry up the rubber sheets before they are sent to the factories.

Different colours of the sheets indicate the number of days being in the smoke house.

Rubber flowing out from the rubber tree :D

LUNCH! Burger from the restaurants at FOAHP.

This kid asked me to take a photo of him LOL. So brave xD

And this, finally I got the picture of the owner of this cute rabbit bag. She’s so cute :D

That’s all for FOAHP, but I’m not done with the outing yet. Next up, mammal museum, @ Putrajaya too.

FOAHP 1

2011-12-20T23:48:00.001+08:00

It’s the short form of Fruit Orchard Agriculture Heritage Park (created by me LOL.)

So, I was asked to take photos of the kids while they went on their outing to this ‘park’ at Putrajaya. Other than the blazing sun, I have nothing to complain about going out with the kids cause it’s just too boring to sit in the small office for 8 hours, and having an excuse to get out and run around is definitely awesome.

We didn’t get to sit this D:

Every plants have this label beside them.

A really weird tree LOL.

This was a mango tree, according to a 6y/o ==

Huge jackfruit on the tree :O

How to differentiate a jackfruit tree and a chempedak? The jackfruit leaves have hair on the back and can stick onto shirt.

Dragonfruit

Rest area / checkpoint.

To be continued...
