Yesterday at 5.30 in the morning, My grandpa passed away at the age of 89 and 9 days shy from him 90th birthday. I'm writing this as a message to my grandpa to let him know that I miss him like hell and I wish he could come back so I can say my last goodbye as I was still nicely tucked in bed when he took his last breath.

Khong Wai Mun, my grandfather got to live a long life but he his life was mostly filled with suffering and hardship. He was born into a poor family in China and his father sent him here to work. He worked day and night hoping that one day, he could be successful but that day never came and instead he got bullied by other co-workers. They always asked him to go fetch water from a near-by well for dinner and by the time he got back, there were no more food left for him and while everybody else got to sleep in the squatters, they gave him a bench to call his own bed. Despite that, he never hated those people instead he worked harder each day to prove that he is somebody but yet they still treated him like dirt but that didn't stop him from perfecting his skills as a carpenter and as a person. This was one of the many stories he use to tell me when I was younger but I'll just take it as nothing.

He then got a job to work as a carpenter for KTM and met his future father in-law and together with my granma, they raised 5 very very fine children one of which my mother who inherited his honesty, kindness and integrity and just like her father, she taught me that but I have to say that I didn't use to listen. Then 4 years ago, he had a stroke in my own house. the image of him losing feeling to his left arm still runs crystal clear in my head and from that day onwards, that man's life got worse as the days went by. He was frequently in and out of the hospital and as well as life and death but each time, he survived. He was a fighter in life.. he never gave up hope but just last week, he started starving himself. He didn't want to eat, he didn't want to talk and god i felt awful for just going to see him a few times in a month. But still, every time i went to visit him, he tells me to be hardworking, and to be strong. He also thought me that my family comes first in front of everything else in the world but I have only managed to fulfill half of what he taught me. I failed in being a good grandson to him as I didn't do anything that I can tell him to be proud of but I do thank him because I have learnt that my family always comes before anything.

At his funeral, I didn't shed a single tear in front of him. I don't know how to explain it but everytime tears starts collecting on my eyes, its like he is right beside me telling me to suck it up and there is no reason to be sad because he is now happy and I cannot cry because I have to console my aunts and my mom as they have lost the one person that all matters. The sight of them crying for him to come back tore my heart into pieces but I still had to refrain from showing that I'm weak to let everybody know that they must be strong but I'm actually burning inside but I also felt that it was what my grandpa wanted me to show his son and daughters. He wanted them to be strong and no matter how hard I wanted to do it, I could not shed a tear.

I went up to do a eulogy for him and at that time, I felt him the most. Its like he was speaking through me, telling my family members know that its ok that he has passed and at least now he is a free man no longer constricted to the wheelchair and he is no longer in pain. The one thing that I know is that he will never be just a memory to me. I am what he thought me to be and I promise him that I will try my best to fulfill what he wants, a united, strong, loving family. I am now finally able to let my tears flow and I really do wish he comes back to visit me soon so I can say goodbye and take care to him myself and to let him know that I will miss him.

Legendary Quality Experience (Front Office)

2006-11-13T21:17:00.000+08:00

I'm back!!! It's been too long since I've touched this blog and I think its time to update it a bit. I'm still undergoing my industrial training in Mandarin Oriental KL and so far, it has been an up and down ride for me. There are so many people I want to thank for teaching me about my job as well as to being a better person and there were PROS AND CONS of being a hotel staff. WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS ISSUES THAT MIGHT BE SENSITIVE TO SOME.
Like I said, it may contain sensitive issues.

Lets start with the Pros first, as said in my previous post, I had been trianing in the Front Office department for a month and I'd never thought I would say this, but I had fun there. It was not at all boring as I've thought it to be in the past and the job was definetely not as relaxing either. The FO department is like the front line of a hotel and a guest's first impression will be beared on the front office staffs' shoulders and to see their thankful little faces just makes a hotelier's day. Sadly, I wasn't part of that...haha... I was in the Club remember?!?! but we had our share of work to do as well. We had different tasks there everyday. Staffs there will be assigned to take care of the lounge area, the buffet area, reception area, and the room checker. I had been with every single one of the staff and gathered some of their most interesting advice. Quotes:

Wilson: You work hard for wat? must work smart. You only work as much as they pay you.
Catherine: Haihz.. I'm gonna quit this job, shave my hair and be a monk.
Addy: You must always anti-cipet what a guest want and need and don't tell anyone i made a drink for you.
Rachel: Haha..see I know Russians give tips thats why I sent you.
Nixon: I won't eat in the cafe cos it sucks!!
Claudine: I chose the Club so I don't have to do overnight shift.
Zatun: Ah boy, kerja kat sini senang tak bleh kata, susah pun tak bleh kata tapi buat saje lar you!!
Sean: [In canton] You big boy edi. Cannot simply listen to what people say ok.
Nita: You panjat saja lar kat atas counter tu tukar coffee beans.

Addy's favourite place in the club

hahah...yea thanks for the advice and help ppl..heheh but like I said, I've learnt a lot the hard way because there is NO easy way and sometimes, I wish I can take back the comment "I don't want to have a desk bound job!!". But all in all, I don't think I regret making this decision and having a guest like this man, Mr. Calles is why so. Mr. Calles is one of the nicests guest I've met. To me, he is still my guest and I'm still his hotel staff but to the other permenant staff, he is like a friend already. He's a long stay guest and from the stories I've heard, he treats everyone with respect and courtesy. Theres no staff-guest relationship and this is good because it helps the hotel earn money and it motivates you to do your job better and to try to establish a friendly relationship with guest giving them the feeling of home. Btw, that line many hotel uses, "Come stay at the hotelnamehere, its like A HOME AWAY FROM HOME" is bullshit!! especially resorts because if I want to have the feeling of home, I won't be getting away from home dumbass. Anyways....

Bottled piss that costs RM50+ each.

People actually swim there!!

This is for feng shui.

After my time in the Club, I went downstairs, to the concierge and I just re-enforce the statement that the MO Concierge is really a superduperknoweverydamnthinginmalaysia info booth. By the time I got there, they were as busy as bees so they didn't have a lot of time to teach me so all I could do was observe. It was hard trying to catch everything they are doing but after the second day, I could do those petty things like give directions, make reservations, arrange limos for the guests to leave, paste stamps (YES!! now I know how it works!!), say "Good morning, how may I assist you??" with a smile on my face while thinking shit!! he WANTS something and because 1 of my hotel's rule is to never point out but to escort guests to their destination in the hotel, I had to escort them to the damn toilet mostly but I DID get tips for just sending a guest to the business centre to use the internet. BANG!! RM10 in my pocket for walking some1 to some place in less than 10 mins. I've took Honey and Stitch for walks that lasted longer than an hour and all I got was shit. Literally. I also got another RM10 from this Russian couple who i had to escort to their room and introducing some facilities and shit. But this leads me to the next thing.

For people who think "Dennis, your job is so cool *cough* Laura *cough*", NO ITS NOT COOL!! Now for the other side of the hotel life that I have been through. In the MO Club, it's a self service kind of thing so we have buffets set up and sorts but SOME people are jsut too damn lazy. Now, if you're gona say "Dennis, you're mean", then shut up! I love serving people but to ask for a cup of coffee when you're sitting right next to the damn coffee machine just sucks. I know its a place for you to relax but can't you just get up and get your coffee yourself?? will it take forever?? no!! and speaking of that, we have this particularly fussy guest.Just like Mr. Calles, we have a public enemy too. He is like the fussiest guest in KL and many other hotels in KL have refused to take him in except ours. We shall just call him Mr. B (for privacy reasons) nono wait. It's DR. B~~ Now, in every hotel, there will be systems to check on guests profiles, accounts and various other information about a guest and in his "remarks" page, every single collumn writen is about a complaint and if printed out, it will be 5 pages long and thats just the old complaints because...........we didnt have anymore space for him to add complaints...hahahhaa.... anyways, about Dr. B, he has many many requests that we MUST follow or risk another complaint. Here are SOME of his requests:

Give you a RM29,000 coffee machine to press also lazy wan make coffee urself.

1. The music must be turned off everytime he walks in.
2. Every morning, there must be a table that he wants set for him with his special breakfast.
3. If he wants something even if we don't serve it anymore, we must get it for him.
4. He chooses people to be nice to and people to be hated and I, am proud to say I'm on his hated list. Well at least I think I am.

Thats just a few. Anyways, this guy is like fussier than many of your in-laws but so far, I've only heard stories and read complaints but this time, I was quite lucky to see him in action. He came like an hour after we cleared afternoon tea and he demanded for scones but we didnt have anymore scones left so what happened next scarred me for life and I swear, I'm never going to eat in another 5 star hotel anymore!! and the one advice that I can give you that Wilson gave me is if you want to complain, always, ALWAYS complain after your meal. Why?? I'm sure you know why and I'm not writing what we did to get him those scones and no we did NOT spit in it. If you really want to know what we gave him and how we got it, you can e-mail me and I'll tell you.

Oh we have your scones right here Dr. B

Now, the bad side of working in the concierge. Like I said, guests come asking for every single thing they want to know that they cannot figure out themselves even if the tallest building in Malaysia is sitting right next to your room. Most of our "customers" come for directions which is perfectly fine because you're a foreigner and you don't know the place. Fine I give you that. You want to know which is the cheapest and fastest way to your destination, I can understand that too but how stupid must you be, to ask me those 2 questions when you want to get to the Petronas Twin towers?? and like every other hotel, our rooms' number is associated with the view and that guest was from a room that has a view of the two bloody giant corn looking dicks that were standing errect from the ground!! Honestly, I don't hate these people because I can now tell people who thinks foreigners are the smartest or best in everyway. There was also this guest who wanted to play some stupid ass game and he asked my colleague to go fetch it for him. But thats not the cherry on top of the cake. The most frustrating guests are guests who ask for stupid things WITH bad English. I can't say my English is the best but please, if you can't speak proper English, don't act like you're so dam big!! like this arab dude trying to ask me to confirm his flight. Heres how it went

Arab Dude: Blaine Dicket.
Dennis: I'm sorry sir could you repeat that??
AD: BLAINE DICKET!!
D: blaine....oh PLANE TICKET!!
AD: Yes...
pause.............
AD: well??
D: I'm sorry sir. What would you want me to do with the plane tickets??
AD: [pause] [mumbles something to wife]
D: would you like me to reconfirm your flight??
AD: AHH!! yes yes!! pleeez confeirm my blane dicket.
D: Alright Mr. AD, you could go back to your room first and I'll call you when I have reconfirmed it.
AD: [walks off]

That guy wanted to know how to get to the twin towers wor...how???

All that and not even a thank you?!?! sheesh so after I reconfirmed his flight, I called him back and his wife picked up and thank god his wife speaks English!!!!! These are the most frustrating type of people I have ever tried to communicate with in my life!! But there are people who are super nice. I love recieving calls and requests from people who speaks good English and who are polite. The most annoying guests however, surprisingly are NOT foreigners but our own countrymen. Especially the chinese. I myself am a chinese but god do I hate these people. When they ask you for something, and just because they have money, they think you're like a cloth soaked in water and they'll you out of the basin and squeeze every last drop of water out of you. If they pay RM2000 a night, oh they'll make sure they get their RM2000's worth of service which actaully is NOT that big a sum compared to others.

Okok.. I shall leave the complaints out or it will be 5 pages long like Dr. B's!!! hahaha... but although I complain, I was happy doing what I did and I'm glad I did it and all those dumb shits are just a part of everyday life so no point frussing over that. Saying it once is enough and I'm not complaining to get a pat on the back and a thank you, you're great which I also learnt is not going to happen but to let other people in the same field as I am to read and hopefully teach me something new be it if your behind the counter or on the other side. And for people who thinks my job is easy, think of this. You're not special because when you buy the ice cream, you only get to watch it get scooped. Only special people get to scoop the ice cream. Thats why they made self service ice cream machines.. because they want you tards to feel special too. And if I have offended any of you, maybe because you WERE the person I served or maybe you have been a similar dumb fuck, I'm not sorry!! You should be mature enough to think that I practice freedom of speech and if you don't like it, don't use the internet. And also enjoy some of the pics.

First Week Madness

2006-10-07T20:42:00.000+08:00

AHHH~~~~ finally i can sit down and relax. Today, will be the last day of the first week of my industrial training in Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur and believe me, you really DO need to be a super human to work in a hotel. This week was and still is a stressful but fun week. I got to experience waking up at 7 in the morning all over again, I got to take the LRT to the hotel everyday i work, I have to stand for 8 hours, and of course, I got to work!!

I got into the same hotel as Andrea and Lisa and some girl named Wan Sze from Stanford College. On the first day, we all had to sign our contracts and went through the details before we started work.

These are the people who hired us!! Mr. William, a nice organized looking man and Mrs. Penny Kok who I've never met. Shhhhh...I'm supposed to know who they are..

This is where I'll be placed over a period of 3 months.

So we're off to start trainig at the Front Office. Our boss there, Ms. Susan Abdullah whos a nice but strict woman runs the front office and the person in charge then was Ms. Yatie and Ms. Cindy Kong and I tell you, those are the most professional and organized bunch of people I've ever met in my life. Respect!

After a briefing, we were taken to various places in the hotel and was placed in different areas just for the day. Lisa and I were both placed in the Mandarin Oriental Club (MOC) Lounge. It is similar to the executive lounges in other hotels and this particular Club has won various awards and I am proud to work there. The MOC serves foods and drinks and louges for guests to relax with the views of the PETRONAS Twin Towers, The KLCC Park, the city line and also the swimming pool view. Our boss there for that day is Mr. Sean who is being promoted to Duty Manager of the Reception. The lounge is a quite place to be and is quite peaceful at that time so we just folded napkins and hunged around until 5. Thats our first day of work.

Schedule for the week.

On Tuesday, I started off with concierge which is like the dept. that handles transportation of all sorts, luggage handling, and info and directions. I would like to call that place the superduperknoweverydamnthinginmalaysia info booth manned by Mr. Subra and Mr. Khairul, the funny dude and the boss himself Mr. Kent Lee who was busy that day so I didnt get to learn a whole lot but I certainly learned that its not easy to be in the concierge. We have guests with funny requests like asking for six packets of hot barley drinks, shoe laces, asking for directions to KLCC. Hello?!?! we're right NEXT to KLCC!! I also worked in all departments and the nicest time I had was when I was in the MOC and the business centre (kiosk) where I met the nicest person to me in MO. Her name is Cody. Weird name but a nice person.

I have chosen to work at the MOC and the concierge to finish off my Front Office training before I move on to FnB next month so till then I'll be in the clun and concierge.

1 day to go

2006-09-30T21:53:00.000+08:00

Ahhhh....holidays...too bad its ending soon and in about 24 hours, I'm going to be off to my industrial training. We were given 5 main hotel choices to go and would be selected to go for their interviews. This was what I chose.

This was my line of choices and guess which 1 got picked?? And its supposed to be the first choice that gets you the job but nooo... So I went to ask and the lady told me that 20% of students in the system will have their hotel's randomly chosen and I got the last choice!!

Yea...I got Mandarin Oriental the best hotel in KL and have won 4 safety awards just this year. Man will i suffer. I can just imagine holding the peeler wrongly and peeling potatoes the wrong way and that I might hurt myself but who knows? ahhahaha so I went for the interview and according to Andrea, Lisa and Yu Ying, the interview will only take like 5 minutes so I was EXPECTING 5 minutes and I had a 45 minute interview with a lady named Miss Elizabeth who turned out to be a very nice person but still scary. About 5 weeks after that, I got a call saying that I got accepted and only 4 out of the lot got chosen. Look at the picture for results.

So for the next 3 months, I'm gonna be spending my days here which I don't really mind but the thought of working in a place with such high expectations excites but at the same time makes my ball turtle.

Oh and I can just imagine myself being 1 of these dudes...

The monkey's 18th

2006-09-30T20:52:00.000+08:00

This is sort of a future post because I wont be able to blog on Monday because I'm already starting my training. Today (2nd October 2006), is Valerie's b'day and thank god she's turning 18 so there is no excuse to not drive us around anymore! hahah. First of all, I have to thank Ee May for dragging our lazy asses out and organize Valerie's b'day. Went to Kim Gary to makan some lunch. Damn Kim Gary took all my money!! Oh and Lisa took the pictures so I won't be responsible for its quality wahahhahaha...

The cake

After that, we went to IKEA to borrow their sofas and I'll tell you that those sofas are as cool as hell...hahahha...sakainyer~~ and so we saw this and thought...hmmm...can Others mean bio-degradable mass?? so we intended to take a pic of me shitting in the Others bin but Johnson had to turn the flash on and the guard came and said "OI!!! lu tableh ambik gambar gambar di sini" so tableh lor..

damn...I SOOOO wanted to take a shit in that thing

Does this house seem familiar?? if you have read ben's blog then you will know. Heres the story.. everytime we sent Johnson home, we pass by his annoying neighbour so we take a picture of his house everytime we pass it and see the changes but sadly, NOTHING CHANGED!!! OH GOD!! IM SO BORED!!!

Beautiful Bed

2006-09-28T08:41:00.000+08:00

My heart skipped a beat and my flashed open in an instant the moment my phone rang. Damn I hate that sound. Then I checked and it was only 7:45 and I stumbled around to find my phone as I was still a blur piece of shit. To my surprise, I got a message from the monkey.

Heres what happened. After the Genting trip, I had like over 400 pictures from everyone's camera and after updating the blog, I had nothing else to use it for already and so I thought I tried my luck in the Star Newspaper Thumbnails Contest which could win me RM50 and Rm50 is better than zero!! So 2 days ago, I asked Monkey (valerie) to help me post one picture which was this picture.

And I posted this piture of the bear as it freaked some kids out by looking like a stupid crack whore! Anyways, after submitting those photos, I didn't pay much attention to it already because honestly, I didn't think we could win and we DIDN'T but it was fun =) After replying a fe messages, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't sleep because Valerie only said we were in it and when I asked, she didn't know if we won. Dooopit Leilei =P and after like 20 minutes of tossing and turning, I finally gave in to the urge and went to get a copy of the star (at that time, I still didn't know if we won)

At the mart, I grabbed a copy of the papers and turned to the page where the photos are usually posted and I couldn't help but to burst out in laughter.

Johnson, Dennis, Ben

IT REALLY GOT INTO THE PAPERS!!! althought we didn't win, its still funny to see that they actually post something like that. Beautiful Bed is the caption and damn Star Newspaper, should have at least posted our names right!

I am infact a bit disappointed at the fact we didn't win because me, Johnson and Ben DID spend the night out there!!! this was no pose ok and the winner is some accident shit! This leads to my next question. WHY do pictures of accidents always win??? no offence to the people who were involved, but hey!! it happens all the time!! this damn article is about something you dont see everyday. You see accidents every god damned day!! and the winners seemed to be majoritized by photos of accidents OR motorcyclist! Come on Malaysia, you can do better than that. And dear The Star Newspaper, if you're reading this and I hope you are, Let something other than the usual win!!! thank you and have a nice day =D

ps: if you want to see the original pictures, e-mail me or read Genting Trip day 3

Day 1 was awesome but day 2 was even better. Heres how it began.

Johnson

Fifi kicking my ass to get up

Ben slept on the floor o.0

Just when you thought I'm getting up

I went right back to sleep!!

As usual, when you want to go for any sort of rides, you will want to be at the front sowe all set our clocks to 8am so after breakfast and shit, we'll be there early. The problem is, ITS A HOLIDAY!! nobody gets up that early and by the time we got there, it was about 12. But the place was still relatively quiet and we didn't waste any time having a fun time.

still stoning at 8.40 am

Cooking breakfast

Its still quite clear looking

Before we entered

Waiting to ride Dinosaur Land

Now about Dino Land. It was a disappointment. It might be amusing to the kids but what about their parents?!?!? see these for yourself.
The first Dinosaur we saw, Koiesaurus (koi-ee-sau-russ)

Yea and these don't look like elephants at all

They move like shit
This is the closest thing to a Dinosaur that I've seen that day

After that, we went on almost all the interesting rides. We sat the corkscrew 4 times, the space shot twice and some others too!!

I can ride every roller coaster Genting had to offer but I just didn't have the balls to cross bridges

The sun was in my eyes
New best friend

Its startig to get foggy now

Some kid got freaked out when she saw this thing

Getting ready

Try to listen for the words JOHNSON MOI!!!

Lunch time

We were all freezing

No money to ride this =(

Framed!!

While the girls were doing this? the guys were looking for that elusive mamak

This what Jon Jon does to keep warm

Valerie claims that she was helping me keep warm. But I think she was doing the opposite

RS: Random Stupidities

From the first night

The posse

Leaving

Make a wish!!

So ben had to do the job

=(

Just hours ago, a kid was crying his head off because he had to leave this place

And just when we were emo-ing because we had to leave, they gave us a carebear corner!!

After hours of looking for this damn place, we finally found it!! why did those fuckers have to open it in the car park??

They were so happy to find it because they were finally going to get that teh tarik they were craving for

Restoran Muhibah!!

It does have a nice view though

And it even looks a lot better than some of the mamaks in KL

We had to catch the 9 pm bus!!

it's already 8.35 pm

But it certainly didn't stop us form taking more pictures

Guess whats wrong with this sign

Getting in touch with my kiddish roots

Finally we're here...

This was dinner. Ramli Burger Daging

3 days, 9 people, 2 rooms and 1 hell of a time!! (Genting Day 1)

2006-09-25T22:43:00.000+08:00

It was a long time since I've been up to Genting Highlands and I wouldn't let this oportunity to go up slip by that easily. There were actually supposed to be 10 of us but Constance pulled out at the last minute because she had something more important that came up. So then its just the 9 of us, me, Johnson, Ben, Lisa, Fiona, Laura, May, Andrea and Valerie.

First of all, smooth sailing wasn't what this trip is but everyone managed to settle it and have a great time. Lets take it from the first morning shall we?

It is now going to be 9 and I'm still not packed yet!!!

This idiot woke up at 9.30 and the bus leaves at 11 and Andrea is supposed to arrive at 9.45

Lisa and Fiona waiting happily to board the bus

Then it all went wrong. Andrea needed to get her sister but her sister aint done yet so she had to drive up later but hey! she and Johnson got a first class ride up compared to the rest of us.

Lisa and May

Fifi and Valoooooooo

Some random mountain

Calling the hotel to make transport arrangements

We're finally here!!!

Waiting for the car to pick us up

We checked in to this resort called Genting Permai. It's service sucked since the last time I've been there. Maybe it was going to be Puasa time or some shit, but the receptionist doesn't know shit!! and receptionist lady, if you're reading this, please do your homework!! That being said, we checked in and cooked lunch. Try and guess what we cooked??

YEA! we're all Hotel Management students (and 1 advertising bitch) but we only ate Maggi Mee + curry chicken but it was goooooooooooooooood =)

Don't under estimate the power of this bowl of mee....

Finally after so long, its about time
I tried to shed those extra pounds and nothing is better than the good old EXCERCISE!!! Yea, so we went to play badminton in the T.T.D.I community center and it was damn fun. Although most of us sucked, but it’s all about the fun and I got bashed up! Why? cause I accidentally hit Valerie.. Stupid monkey. Well, after years of training for KL, I never ever had this much fun during that period and then I realized. Its not about if you win or not, its about spending quality time with the people you love and although I knew that but its good to have that fun feeling again where its not important if who wins or who loses, its just about the fun have doing that.........and a lot of other stupid shit. That being said, this post= EMO!! These are some of Malaysia's future in Badminton.

Party People (Part 2)

2006-09-17T17:49:00.000+08:00

Then at 8pm, I headed off to meet Mini Moi (Johnson) in college so he could lead me to Zeth's house for the 2nd party. That F*star*cker arrived 1 hour late. The wait wasn't the worst part. I had to sit in the car and listen to Mr. Pasar Malam Man sing Sayang Menyayang over and over again with 1 version with backup and 1 unplugged version. I wasn't near enough to snap a pic but boy were his speakers loud!! The 2 flers

Passing by

This where I study

Its been a long time since my car had a decent amount of feul in it and I told Johnson 8.30 and its 8.55 and he still isn't here yet

And so after driving for 15 minutes to college, waited for 1 hour for Johnson to make his grand entrance, another 35 minutes of driving and 2 tolls, we finally reach Zeth's house in Klang and we were immediately greeted by his cat, Notmykucing which compared to its owner, looks preety good. Hehehe..heres the pics, enjoy ;-)

Notmykucing, who is now renamed Evelyn

Hmm.. Somehow, this looks familiar

Errrrr.....looks like the chicken wasn't the only thing that Zeth burnt that night

Eve, Johnson and yea, the guy who now says that he didn't invite us without a price to pay

Talk about getting rear-ended

And when he thought nobody was watching, he did the unexpected. No wait. Actually it was quite expected and the man himself claims that its revenge for the 1 week's worth of coffee cans that magically got stuck to his car's antanae

Dude! keep ur f*star*cking hands urm hand off my dog wei..

This is what you can do if your car runs out of feul. All you need is a few cans of beer and thats just for colouring

And here is the scoop of the night. We caught 2 Wetbacks (illegal immigrants) short quest for food.

They were just too happy to have arrived in Klang

The hunger soon kicked in and they needed FOOD!!

WAIT!!! whats that?!?!

Free lunch!!!

Enjoying the loot.

Their joy soon got cut short because they were captured and interogated. They'll be given food if they tell how they got here but heres the catch. 1 of them has got to get lost and guess who got the food??

Yea, he gave me up. Thanks a lot friend. I thought you said you wish we could be wetbacks forver?!

Heres a short video evidence of 1of the wetbacks giving away info.

After a whole night of partying, Ben and I decided to go Mat Rempit hunting but sadly they were nowhere to be seen. Maybe it was still too early so we took pictures these instead.

Zehn at 1am in the morning

Ben's weird ass boobs got groped by Eve and the cans that made the boobs were also used as a replacement for a Care Bear because we all don't own 1. YET.

And we just had to do this.

This is the last pic we managed to take before my cam ran out of juice. Note the censor icon!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Party People (Part 1)

2006-09-17T14:05:00.000+08:00

And What the hell is a lemon called in French?!?!?! YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT US FRENCH YET REMEMBER??? Anyways, whats over is over and we shall get back to the fun. Planning to go to Gentings with the Posse to get away from all that and just chill with my mates.

Ok, so heres how my holiday went SO FAR, I didn't go out partying right after my exams. I stayed home like a mummy's boy and spent some good ol' family time by watching the finale of rockstar: Supernova. Lukas won!!...hahaha he'd better cos I voted for him. That preety much sums up Thursday.

On Friday, went to meet up with Constance and had lunch and stoned like shit so nothign interesting happened. Then yesterday came, and it was the shits! woke up went swimming which I hate but went cos friends wanted to swim, then went home to tafeikei.....urmz I meant ta kei! After like 3 hours' worth of burnout revenge, My god mama called and said that they are having a BBQ party. So since its my holiday, I thought that I should at least attend 1 party so I won't be that sad. OH and I had to go for Zeth's party after that so, here are some pics to show u all how it went.

So about that BBQ..... how are they gonna make happen again?

For once! its raining and its not jammed up in Federal Highway

While waiting for the trafic light to turn green

Reflection of the super serious driving look

Yea thanks for being SO "excited" that I came to see you 2

"OKOK, I'm here.. so whats the occasion?!?!". Those were the first words that came out of my mouth and it seems that my cousin, May wanted to syiok sendiri by having her own BBQ cause she had nothing to do, but hey! I ain't complaining...hehehehe tq yea!

2006-09-09T01:41:00.000+08:00

This post is for a friend of mine Yee Foo or better known as Ah Fook, Fookie, Fookster, Fooker and UNCLE! was missing in action. Lately, he has always been missing, and even IF he decides to show up, he is often late. 2 days ago, we had class as usual and of course Fook was no where to be seen. and then during our second class, he showed up but he wasn't in proper attire. He pulled me and Johnson out for a smoke (they smoked). He said that he was leaving and me and John just laughed off that sentence. And then a day later, many of my classmates came to know of this and they were all rather upset, and so was I.

Fook and his finger.

I came to know Fook when we were in Term 1. During that time, Fook, Constance, Pei Shi, Zoe and I were very very close. We were like best friends and I got to know him even better when we got into the same group for an assigment. Fook is a very special person (not in the 'cacated' kind of way), he was rather smart and he knows a lot about life as he has gone through a whole lot of shit in his life and he was a joy to have in class as well always making funny noises and disturbing everyone with his fook-ness and I most certainly cannot think of anyone who loves singing as much as Fook does. That was then.

Then after the 'I-don't-have-to-do-anything-to-pass'
term 1, came the hectic term 2. From then on Fook was already missing quite abit in class. He often falls asleep and he was also absent for a number of times. However he still showed up enough to pass. We all noticed that he had changed. He wasn't the Fook we knew anymore. He has kept many secrets that till today, I still think if he told us, we might be able to help him a little bit more and from then on, I wasn't close to him anymore and I actually fought with him a couple of times. But what I didn't see was a person who's lonely, a friend who needs help. I only saw him as annoying and I'm sorry for that.

Fook and my kidnapped Mp3 player singing some weird ass chinese song.

Term 3 came and its almost ending, Fook skipped about half of the entire term and even if he came, he wouldn't attend the classes. And he also got himself into a bit of a situation when he started posting things about another person and ended up having to settle the matter with gangsters. He was no longer the bubbly and joyous Fook we knew back in term 1. Its sad that we humans don't cherish and appreciate what we have until its gone. An now Fook is gone. He is going to work to support himself because his parents are not giving him enough to survive on his own. Its very sad to hear such a thing from a friend and in his case, all our hands were tied. We couldn't interfere with his family matters and he didn't want us to get involved as well. I don't know Fook for a long time but I do know him well enough to say that he wasn't treated fairly.

fook and group 1

Well Fook, I hope this post will make you remember us and for all the times you spent with us in Dh23. It was a hell of a time being your classmate and to everyone out there who knows Fook, especially all of you in DH23, I want all of you to write in to wish Fook the best and to show him love and support!!

Spot the hidden Fook!!! (heres a clue...hes rite next to me)

Back in term 1 during F&B Tech

Cam whoring in the train.

Heres to the fucking "BEST" singer I know, Fookie Fookie and good luck in whatever you do next and hope you read this post 1 day and say that I don't actually hate you. Hehehe. And for the people out there, He ain't DEAD!! he's just not with us anymore. Go figure. OK that being said, BETTER GET BACK TO STUDYING!! EXAM IN A FEW DAYS TIME!!!!EMO EMO!!

Tribute to Steve

2006-09-04T17:20:00.000+08:00

Ok, I know I said that I'm not going to update my blog until my finals are over but this post is for a very special person, Steve Irwin better known as the crocodile hunter because he has just passed away fairly recently. Steve died after being stung by a stingray in the chest during a diving expedition on the Great Barrier Reef in Northern Queensland. His team called for medical attention but before the rescue helicopter could arrive, Steve died.

Stephen Robert Irwin, born 22 Febuary 1962 to parents Bob and Lynn in Essendon, Australia. Steve watched his father, Bob wrestle crocs and snakes and soon after, tried his hands on capturing those reptiles. Steve once said that even when he was a kid, his house was almost like a mini zoo nad wildlife hospital, with makeshift marsupial "pouches" slung over the bags of chairs and snakes stashed everywhere. As a young man Steve put these skills to work in the rogue crocodile relocation project run by the Queensland government. Although he eventually claimed the title The Crocodile Hunter, Irwin's methods differed drastically to those of earlier claimants to such titles. That is, rather than ending up as table fare and handbags, the crocs bagged by Irwin were later released, unharmed, in a new home deeper in the wild -- or at the Irwins' reptile park. Able to boast that he and his father had captured or raised every croc in the park, Steve Irwin took over management of the facility in 1991. In that same year he met a lovely American, Terri Raines, on vacation from her own wildlife rehab center in the U.S. Marrying eight months later, the pair opted to go crocodile trapping for their honeymoon. They invited a camera crew along to film the expedition, which later become the first episode of their hit television show The Crocodile Hunter. In 2002 Steve and Terri played themselves in Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, a fictional tale of wildlife conservationists battling crocs and rogue CIA agents to retrieve a fallen satellite. However, Steve's career wasn't really smooth sailing and all. Steve came under criticism for his antics involving antarctic wildlife. While filming a documentary Irwin allegedly broke both international and Australian federal laws by coming too close to a pod of whales and even sliding down snowy slopes with a group of penguins. Again Irwin utterly denied any wrongdoing, and, after a careful review of the documentary, officials dropped the charges. However there remain those who claim the "real" story of what happened on location, and thus any condemning evidence, was simply edited out of the footage. The Irwins eventually released their own version of both these incidents in a special Crocodile Hunter documentary, Crocodiles & Controversy. Despite such controversies, and the embarrassment professed by many of his fellow Australians over his hyperactive high-risk antics and Dundeeish cant, Irwin continues to enjoy tremendous popularity and success, especially in the United States. According to Irwin however, the financial fruits of this success have not gone to fuel a lavish lifestyle, but have been channeled into purchasing tracts of endangered habitat to be set aside for wildlife conservation.

I feel quite sad upon reading about it on the internet. He always seemed so enthusiastic about nature and animals. It was so exciting watching him wrestle crocs and wrangling with snakes and other sorts of creatures. He thought me to appreciate nature for what it is and to respect the fact that every living thing should be treated as an equal because in reality, we humans don't own Earth. We share it with our animal counterparts and given the intelligence compared to them, we must protect them too!! But I'm sure he will be satisfied in the sense that he has already accomplished a lot and he died do what he loves best, Heck I wouldn't mind dying doing what I like most. I sure will miss you and I'm sure the crocs will too!!

Here are some pictures to pay tribute to the hero of animals, STEVE "THE CROCODILE HUNTER" IRWIN.

Haihz, Steve, you can fight sharks but you kena GG by a stingray?!?! How can man?!

You're gorgeous mate!!

WAH!! got action figure 1 ar?!?! I wonder if I go catch some ants can get action figure of me leh?

Ironically, Maybe he should have listened to the sign..
