Oh How Shit Happens...
Well, I've been often plagued with the question of why I never update my blog for such a long time. Mainly I give the reason that nothing interesting is going on and I will update if there is. Well, had sorta freak accident earlier today. Nothing major la don't worry, well, this is rather kinda sohai, I got a mechanical pencil lead inserted right through my left ring finger! Might not sound much but it is kinda annoying and a bigger deal then I initially thought.
Here's how it happened : I had a paper today so as usual, we aren't suppose to bring our pencil case into the exam hall rite? So I stuffed my stationary into my pockets and when I reached into my pocket to take em out, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my left hand. Took a look and see and what ya know, the pencil lead broke ngam ngam at the start of the nail there, and not to say lodge on the surface of the skin, oh no, it went like 45 degrees into the flesh! And whats more fucked up was, I couldn't do anything bout it cos the exams was about to begin. Wasn't bugging me much throughout the paper thankfully cos the venue was frekin cold and my hands were freezing :D.
So I thought to myself ok la, later go back n bedah myself ( I know, stupid idea). Then when I came back, I tried to cut the skin abit and use a pair of tweezers to pull it out but to no avail, it looked like it went deeper instead! Then my housemate pula say he'd give it a go and before I could say anything, he was already at it. KNNCCB, it was painful but not that unbearable though, but as you've might guess, we only made it worse. So last resort, terpaksa lah go clinic.
'Tools' that we used initially, no the pick wasn't one of em
But even the doctor had trouble taking it out, he was like digging into my finger with he's pair of forceps. It took him several tries mainly cos the lead had already broken (wonder if I'll get lead poisoning o.o) and I couldn't actually feel it cos I was on local anesthesia but I could still feel like someone scraping inside my finger! Haha.. too bad I didn't think of bringing my camera along for that though and I forgot to take a picture b4 I went to d doctor. But not to worry, I did take some after-treatment pics below. Don't fret they ain't gory.
My finger looks like a cabbage roll! Lol.. typing is a bitch now..
So anyways, the doctor said he manage to get all of the lead out but the wound was still kinda dirty (whatever that meant in detail) cos of the residue of lead and the clinic didn't have the right tools to clean it up. He said he was quite sure I'd make a full recovery but if it turns septic, I gotta go to the hospital and get a deeper incision to clean it out for good *gulp*. Hopefully I don't have to la. So after dressing up my finger and 38 bucks worth of meds later, I'm back home.
First thing I did was pop 2 pain killers cos the LA was wearing of fast, could not only feel pain but also my pulse throbbing in my finger! Wish they would give my vicodin instead! ahhaa... Then I can pretend to be House abit. lol. Gotta keep the bandage on for the next 24 hours so in that time, I can't play my guitar and I find typing without 1 finger pretty annoying ( I know I know, should think bout people without hands!)
Too bad it wasn't the middle finger though, then I'd have an excuse to flip someone off!
Well, thats all for now, think I'll be going off to sleep now, lack of sleep in the last 24 hours.. Normal la, exam period ;)

Work Work.. Part Time Work....
I'm back from my long hiatus, not sure when I'll be back again after this though. haha.. Anyways, just to inform ya'll that I'll be working again at the upcoming PC Fair next month!! Not sure which brand of laptops I'll be selling but I heard its between Dell n Toshiba. I so pray that we get to sell Dell because 1) Sales is good. Dell was the top seller at the last PC Fair and 2) Toshiba will be freakin hard to sell cos of the price vs specs. Hope to see some of u there ? haha..
Well, before I went for the interview yesterday, I 'accidently' got another part time job for the coming two weekends. See, I was suppose to accompany my friends for this job interview at the same building but for a different company. And before I knew it, the guy who was passing out forms gave one to me. At first I wanted to give it back to him but my friend persuaded me to 'just fill it in incase of future reference and if i needed any part time jobs'. So oklo, fill lo, and before I knew it, I was attending the interview (which I so owned!) and within the next hour or so , I got the job!
Well, its just a promoter for weekends only for a company called G2 (stands for Grey 2, why? bloody hell don't know) which is some sort of a branding/promoting/marketing company. See, they help promote brands such as Walls, Guinness 9 Ball Tour, Tiger FC, Dunhill, etc. around the country. So this time round, as a first timer, me n my friends got to promote Sensodyne toothpaste! WTF!! oh well, job is a job rite. And guess where I'll be working ?? : Watson's @ The Curve!! Compared to some of my friends who have to go to OUG or even Jusco in Balakong, this is a good thing rite? haha.. Will be there from 12-9 pm for the next 2 weekends. So if any of ya'll feel like a weekend stroll in The Curve, drop by to say hi aite!
But all of this means I'll be occupied for the next 3 weekends, which means I wont be able to go home till next month :(. Was really looking forward to goin home this weekend but oh well, wouldn't say shit happens but things just come up huh. Nvm la, at least I'll be making some side income in the mean time rite :D
Other than that, it's been pretty mundane over here. My dear came for a visit/college registration stuff last week, was happy n excited to see her after so long. Went for movies after registering herself at Help.. And I have to say, the admin office is pretty impressive.. like the Bat Cave!! Literally speakin! (those who've been there will know wat i'm talkin about). Thx for comin dear.
Well, guess thats that for now, footie season ain't for another month so I won't annoy some of u with that till August 16th or 17th la. And I'm dried out of series to watch... most of them have not started yet and for those who have, its only been a few episodes. Though I am waiting for friends to finish downloading Reaper, Eureka and That 70's Show :D.

Updates....
Recently I sent my laptop to the 'hospital' in Times Square because its 'respiratory system' was seriously failing (the CPU fan making hell of alot of noise and its starting to overheat). And after nearly a week and a couple of days down the road, I finally got it back! Cost to change the fan : RM 51 ; Labour cost : RM 100. Hopefully now it won't give me anymore problems. But for those who know me better, my laptop also has another problem, the USB slots are giving me shit. I inquired how much it would cost to fix and as expected with laptops, when it comes to USB, usually it'll be connected to the motherboard so the tech guy said have to change the motherboard all together. Cost of that? RM 600!! -.-'.. So me being me, opted for the cheaper alternative, right after I collected my laptop, I went to Low Yatt to search for USB slots. And to my delight, manage to buy one 4 port (PCMCIA slot mind u) USB slot for RM 60. Along with it I decided to buy a pair of new earphones for RM 39. So all in all I spent RM 250 only.. Money well spent I hope.
But I'm quite sure it is la, currently using the USB slot for my mouse and pen drive, and listening to David Cook with my earphones. Speaking of which, I just downloaded 4 of his songs and he like so totally rocks man. He's gonna give Daughtry a fight !! Kind to think about it, Doesn't David look like Chris with hair? haha..
And about another Cris, Cristiano that is, speculation is that he will join Madrid soon. Most likely next year or even worst this summer!! One wonders why would he wanna leave, well I could give probably a couple of solid reasons, but whatever his is, I really hope he doesn't follow the foot steps of Ruud, Becks and Heinze. Shit... kinda think of it, United has been like a feeder club to Real. WTF!!
Anyways, on other footie news, Euro 2008 kicks off tonight!! 1 month of late nights again!! woohoo!! And thanks to the good people at Media Prima, I will be able to watch most of the matches on my laptop via tv card I have!! :D ... I think Germany and France have the strongest chance to win it, but I don't really know. I think I'll support France for this tournament. We'll wait n see how this pens out in the next couple of weeks yeah!
Hmmm.. my time table for this semester kinda sucks bad eventhough I only have 4 classes this week. Monday I only have 1 class which is from 9-10 and Friday my last class ends at 5. Wednesday I'm on leave! So I guess that makes coming back Malacca this semester more complicated than I like.
Guess thats about it for now.. oh, I so wanna watch Kungfu Panda!!!

Kings of Europe at last!!
Champions of England, now Kings of Europe!
YES!! After 120 minutes of normal time and extra time, it was all down to penalty shoot-outs for the Champions League final between Man Utd and Chelsea.. Boy was it nerve wrecking.. Seriously, I go for exam also never under this much of pressure.. and when Ronaldo of all people missed the penalty, I thought "habis la.. this is gonna be one of those nights..". I was prepared to switch off the TV when John Terry, Chelsea captain, walked up to take the final penalty which would give his side the cup, when suddenly, he slipped and fell as he took the kick which resulted the ball to go way wide into the stands!
I think I woke up the neighbours when I shouted in delight... we were still in it, and after the next 2 United penalties, the pressure was on Chelsea and to my (and the other millions of Red Devils fans) delight, Van der Sar did what he did at the very beginning of the season... he saved the penalty!! Thus Manchester United have been crowned kings of Europe again!! Oh the sheer delight and relief I felt there after. And just for kickers, Ryan Giggs scored the last penalty before Chelsea missed. So.. another great night for the old timer :P.
Oh and for your info, that boy Ronaldo was on the score sheet again with a superb towering header. Folks, this is why I love football so much. So those who don't like or don't understand me and football post.. neah, I'm too elated to say anything bad. That wraps up another season of club football. Euro 2008 is coming up next!! I can't wait!! hahaha
On another note, American Idol Season 7 just had its finale yesterday and the results very early today morning, as a result, I only manage to sleep for 2 hours just to catch the result show. And the winner is...
Rocker David Cook
Honestly, after yesterday's performance, I didn't think he could win AI7, judging by what he has put out during the entire season, I thought he thoroughly deserved it. And what can I say, I was 2 for 2 on the night/day. United beat Chelsea, Cook beat Archuleta. And now, its already 2 in the afternoon and I only slept for 2 plus one hour nap. Gonna take another nap now.

One HOT & HUMID Week
Another week has passed and I'm still in Malacca. And during this week I have to say has been quite unproductive for me. Besides sitting in front of the tv watching shows from morning till nite, mostly cheering our country in the recent Thomas & Uber Cup happening on channel 816. Sadly we fell short of the semis for the men and quarters for the women. But I have to say, valiant effort on both sides. Well, besides that, I haven't really gotten around to do anything really.
But one of the few things that I think was a highlite of the week was waking up at the crack of dawn (well ok ok, 8am) for dim sum with su ling n leo. I know Yong's recent post was about some frozen self steamed dim sum, dude, we had the REAL thing!. Since during the weekdays I don't have a car to drive, I'm lucky to be driven around by Leo all the way to Ong Kim Wee for dim sum! Would've taken more pictures for those who are abroad and can't enjoy this but really tak larat la.. so early in the morning.. no mood to take pictures. haha..
Spread wasn't much, but it wasn't bad.
Honestly I think the dim sum in my very own backyard (Bukit Beruang la...) is much better then the one here (no offence k leo) but since got ppl willing to drive, can't really complain right? Haha. But they slack one important dim sum of em all - no har kao !!! OMFG... like how can have no har kao wan!??! -.-'' ... For those who have no bloody clue, dats the siew mai type with prawns inside. Dang.. Well, all in all, I give a pass to this shop la. Wouldn't mind comin back but certainly I want someone who will eat dim sum *ahem ahem, suling* a lot to join :D.
On Thursday night pula was the first time during the week that I manage to play futsal at back here! So that in particular was a high point of the day :). That very same day the whole world found out that American Idol 7 finale battle will be David vs. David. Well, David Cook and David Archuleta(sorry bout spelling ya). And honestly, I so want DC to win cos I feel like he's a true talent, reminds me bout Daughtry alot! And if you haven't heard his rendition of Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby and Micheal Jackson's Bille Jean, I urge you to go to YouTube and view them. Totally rocking man!!
Speaking of rocking, bought a t-shirt at d pasar lewat malam near my place in KL before I came home, and I have to say, its one of my better buys from there! It was either that or maybe a MU jersey with Ronaldo at the back. Oh well, can wait for next seasons' design la.
Rocking t-shirt!
And now that the months of May-June-July are coming up, that means summer and summer movies. I see got like damn lot of movies comin out in the cinemas and some hopefully will reach our shores uncut! Really looking forward to watch Kung Fu Panda, Batman, The Incredible Hulk amongst others... Too many I can't remember their names. AArrrgHHh.. All I hope is that got teman to watch with la. My dear is back in seremban so.. hmm.. unless dear, u come kl n watch :P
Right, one week down, one more to go.. May 21st is coming real soon!! The weather here is freakin hot and whats worse, freakin humid!! But I guess it will be unfair for me to complain looking at the conditions in Myanmar and China rite? This Monday will be Wesak Day and I guess it won't

Champions Again!~~~
WARNING : This will be more of a FOOTBALL post. If you DON'T like FOOTBALL, then scroll down to the bottom part la.. Lamer! :P
10th title for us, 10th medal for Giggsy
Finally the 2007/2008 English Premier League has come to an end. And boy what a roller coaster season it was! After slogging it out, easily beating the big clubs, losing to the ones we should've steam rolled over and having a possibility of the title being decided on goal difference for the very first time, in about 24 hours ago, Manchester United lifted the trophy for the 10th time in 16 years fair n square!
Wasn't much of a nail biting game last nite but I decided to watch it at home because I wanted to savour the trophy presentation which I would've missed had I watch it at a mamak stall. And for once this season, Ryan Giggs didn't suffer my wrath of being a 'has been' and me often calling it time for him to retire with grace while he still can. Probably if we lift the trophy at Moscow in about a weeks time then we'll see how it goes eh? But hey, he has been in every title winning side since the Premier League was formed so I'm not saying I don't like him or he doesn't have what it takes, but I'll leave that for another day to banter la.
That boy Ronaldo
Well, for the most part of it, we have Cristiano Ronaldo to thank for the 41 goals in all competitions and 31 in the league. Hopefully he will play a major role in winning the Champions League trophy on May the 21st. And more hopeful that he stays with United for a very long future! And turning the channel over to the chelsea match after the final whistle was blown was superb... IF ur NOT a Chelsea fan la. Everyones faces was like black n a mile long. The entire stadium was quiet. haha.. Ok la, I guess that is all for the football for now.. Now, the Reds will march on to Moscow!!
Anyways, haven't been doin much lately since I came back to malacca granted its only been 2 days la. Someone recommended the book 'The Alchemist' to me just recently. Anyone has a copy of it and willing to share? hehe..

Its Been Awhile
After nearly a 2 month hiatus, I guess its time to start blogging again don't ya think? The past few weeks have been sort of a 'stop-go' notion for me. There were times when i was really occupied with things and times when i just stayed at home and wasted my time away. And because of all that I was unable to commit or find much of a motivation to blog la so to speak. Well thanks to ya'll for pushing me to blog. Basically dropping HEAVY hints to me la.. :P
So most of u might have already known my desire to stop this course and pursue something else, like flying for instance. Well, sad to say, I have kinda failed in achieving that as in I will be still in the same course come the start of next semester even if I have to re-do it due to my kinda unsatisfactory results la. Sure there was alot of hu-ha between me and my parents about me changing courses and to cut things short, I suppose I gotta have a grit between my teeth and carry on for now la. Its not like I don't know what its like to be held behind eh. However if I do receive any scholarship call from any of the airline companies, I'd be goin for it for sure!
And then after that lil' fiasco, I went back to KL cos I was suppose to work during PC Fair for Asus laptops. Though the pay was kinda minimal (i know people dont usually discuss their wage in public but what the heck) at RM180 for 3 days excluding commission, I still took the job cos hey, its not like I've got anything better to do during the next 3 days of the event rite. Plus it was my first time actually working with pay! So basically how much we were paid wasn't an issue cos I was in it for the experience but if they don't pay me, somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad!
It was kinda cool and fun working at the fair to be honest. Got to see lots of different kinda customers, some polite n nice, some rude, some think their damn smart, and some who just come over n over again looking at the same model but in the end never buy... Which makes us tu lan -.-''.... And it was quite fun too having a pass card that allows you to walk all over the fair with out having to follow those security erected walls. Those who went before would know what I'm talking about. But I never expected how exhausting it could get. We worked for basically a 10-10 shift with breaks for lunch n dinner only. At the end of the first day, my legs was all sore d, went home terus peng and to top it off, i didn't manage to sell that many laptops. At least second day wasn't so bad, legs not sore d, only jz the feet and sales picked up and of cos on the last day, didn't feel tired at all mainly cos got MU vs Arsenal later on la. Haha..
Well that was that la, and after the past 3 days of working, I myself really won't mind buying an Asus laptop! I got a strong feeling that they'll call me back for the next PC fair cos as far as the part timer rookies was concerned, I was the top seller of notebooks! haha.. I say rookie cos there was 1 dude who sold laptops before so no surprise as he managed to out sell me la. But competition in our group is worthless cos the overall commission is shared. Only thing was on the last day, the first 10 sales person who managed to sell a laptop will get 30 bucks extra. I was person number 2! So a great experience overall la so to say, and at least now in my resume I'll be able to fill in the 'previous jobs' slot. hehehe..
Then after that was just chilling around at home looking for a new place to stay for next semester. My roommates (currently got 1 pendatang asing) and I plan to shift out of the room cos 3 to a room is just too much and we want our own privacy la. So the search is on and sad to say so far it has not yielded anything yet. I still have till end of this month to find a place though. So i suppose time is still on my side for now la.
About a week after my PC Fair gig, my dad enrolled me into this Personal Development Leadership course la (Yong Hwee if ur reading this, i'm sure u know which course i mean). Don't be fooled by the word leadership, cos they ain't teaching u how to be a leader to lead ur men but how to lead urself. Long story short bout this course is that it teaches u how to be truly successful in life and how to make urself a better person. Its held sumwhere along Kuchai Lama, KL and thing is, participants had to stay in the shoplot like building for 4 days! If that wasn't so bad, no handphones or contact with the outside world (unless of course emergency) is allowed during the duration of the time! Can't tell you much about it cos its suppose to be confidential, but one really has to have grit , determination, and the open mindedness to accept anything that is being thought to you.
And the thing is, the session that I attended was for adults so out of the 27 participants, I assumed i was gonna be the youngest but there was 1 more girl younger than me and another one just a year older. The rest of them are like late 20s til early 50s! And the good thing for me was, most of them come from the engineering sector so can say I made alot of contacts la. And surprisingly, around 20 of the 27 of us works in Malacca!! Talk to them n ask them where they work, malacca, malacca, malacca. To be honest, a bulk was from Infineon la, eh Yong, one of them was ur senior engineer that u had to report to when u had to do ur practical there and all of them know ur dad weh! And almost all of them are like executives, managers, branch heads, division heads and directors!
The accommodation itself was not that bad at least not to me cos i've lived in the hostel before. But there were some of them not used to this as I assume they are more accustomed to swanky hotels with big beds and hot baths. Instead what we had was double decker beds for 4 in a room with no place for cupboard but only enough for a towel rack n a place to chuck ur bag. At least got air-con but no hot water in the hostel like cubicle showers. And to be honest, the weather outside must be freakin hot through out the day cos even when I showered at 1 in the morning, the water wasn't freezing cold.
The food however was a very pleasant surprise la, the people there really fed us well. 6 meals a day folks!! only in malaysia I suppose this would happen. And the 3 main meals are usually very nice and minimum 2 meat dishes ( fish n chicken confirm got) and 1 vege and 1 more either egg or toufu. And the best thing was its buffet! Eat la how much u want. The in between meals pula the normal Malaysian style kuihs. But I have to say, this beats any hostel/canteen food I've had in my life!
At the end of the 4 day course, we had sort of a closing ceremony where all of us had to give a speech about what we learned to an audience of bosses (who sent their managers/directors/workers here) and family members (the 3 younger ones including myself had our parents there!!). It got really emotional for some I tell you, cry pun ada. As for me, tried to play a straight face and succeeded! Mr Ice Cool i am. :D ... And we wont get a cert or anything until we come back for a follow up session which will be held at the end of the coming week.
And after that, I stayed at my aunts house for the nite before my uncle send me all the way back to Setapak the next day. Not before having lunch at Finnegan's at Sri Hartamas though! Had spaghetti carbonara and a long island ice tea!! For lunch!!.. For those who think its a normal ice tea, go google wat is long island and u'll see what i mean.
And when i got back, the first phone call i received was to play futsal! Barely 2 hours after lunch!! ahah... So the rest of the days was spent at my condo watching shows, playing FM, hanging with my dear or playing futsal la.
Was home this weekend, thought can senyap senyap come home n go back without being noticed. But i should've known better rite. So just came back from dinner with Don, Leo n Su Ling actually, thanks Leo my pirate ... ahhaha.. for lending me burn my shows :D. Will be meeting them one more time tomorrow for breakfast before Su Ling gonna send me to the bus station :D. Guess I better get some shut eyes soon if not tomorrow can't wake up
And thanks dear for withstanding me for the past few months, i know i've been a lil pre occupied with myself eh. haha..
So most of u might have already known my desire to stop this course and pursue something else, like flying for instance. Well, sad to say, I have kinda failed in achieving that as in I will be still in the same course come the start of next semester even if I have to re-do it due to my kinda unsatisfactory results la. Sure there was alot of hu-ha between me and my parents about me changing courses and to cut things short, I suppose I gotta have a grit between my teeth and carry on for now la. Its not like I don't know what its like to be held behind eh. However if I do receive any scholarship call from any of the airline companies, I'd be goin for it for sure!
And then after that lil' fiasco, I went back to KL cos I was suppose to work during PC Fair for Asus laptops. Though the pay was kinda minimal (i know people dont usually discuss their wage in public but what the heck) at RM180 for 3 days excluding commission, I still took the job cos hey, its not like I've got anything better to do during the next 3 days of the event rite. Plus it was my first time actually working with pay! So basically how much we were paid wasn't an issue cos I was in it for the experience but if they don't pay me, somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad!
It was kinda cool and fun working at the fair to be honest. Got to see lots of different kinda customers, some polite n nice, some rude, some think their damn smart, and some who just come over n over again looking at the same model but in the end never buy... Which makes us tu lan -.-''.... And it was quite fun too having a pass card that allows you to walk all over the fair with out having to follow those security erected walls. Those who went before would know what I'm talking about. But I never expected how exhausting it could get. We worked for basically a 10-10 shift with breaks for lunch n dinner only. At the end of the first day, my legs was all sore d, went home terus peng and to top it off, i didn't manage to sell that many laptops. At least second day wasn't so bad, legs not sore d, only jz the feet and sales picked up and of cos on the last day, didn't feel tired at all mainly cos got MU vs Arsenal later on la. Haha..
Well that was that la, and after the past 3 days of working, I myself really won't mind buying an Asus laptop! I got a strong feeling that they'll call me back for the next PC fair cos as far as the part timer rookies was concerned, I was the top seller of notebooks! haha..

Whats Been Going On
My new room layout.
I have been back for about a week already. When i got back i was expecting to see a few changes to the house, like i knew i had a new bed la. But what i didn't know was that along with the bed, my parents also went and bought a new sofa set ( 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 set), new dining room light (which uses touch sensor to adjust the brightness and a couple of stuff to hang on the wall. I was expecting a couch/pull out bed for my room not a couch AND a bed. Well, actually, i got the old couch from outside la. Now my room like damn happening weh. Oh well, there goes my plan of putting a pool table downstairs d.
The new sofa set
Preparing for CNY for me wasn't much of a task la. All i had to do was to paint the gate.. That oso took me like 1 bloody whole day. Oh, played futsal for the first time in dunno how many months la at the new Sports Planet in Cheng. I love the new Decoflex surface! Haha.. but sadly didn't have the energy to run for more than 90 min. Didn't think any of us could la.
This year's family photo
Well, Chinese New Year came and passed, here we are in the year of d rat. Have been visiting the usual places this new year as always. Collecting ang paos as sources of extra income is a must. Can be considered as a 'bonus' to me for just staying alive and going visiting, waking up at the break of dawn, getting ready, go here go there. But i suppose i should be happy doing this now since come few years time (no time set yet la), i might have to give out red packets pula!
Anyways, to cut a long story short, visiting was done, saw relatives i only see once a year, collected red packets, ate lots of food. But one thing slack, i still haven't had a beer the entire cny weh! And i'm only drinking my first Shandy now as i'm blogging.
Top row (left - right) : Yee Jeat, Lih Fang, Ting Lih, Qing Ci, Xiang Pei, Joanne
Bottom row (left-right) : Andrew, Zhou, Soon, Me, Yong, Siang (wtf he looking there for?) n Liang
Rite so, on the third day we had our traditional visiting amongst us former classmates la. As usual we gathered at Liangs house first at 9am.. This time round, Yong pula kena conned and he came quite early, i myself only arrive bout half n hour later. And i'm quite surprised that this year we had quite a number of people joining us compared to last year when it was quite sad la. So manage to catch up with a number of people. But some significant people missing were Nara, Phang, Daryl, Ven n Klip. I wonder if all of us could be at the same place at the same time again. And no, cyberspace does not count!
The 4 of talking bout the good ol' days
Anyways, i think this year it was a bit more relaxing even though got more people following. I think it was because after just the second house, the girls left departed and went their separate ways except for Ting Lih who joined us til bout noon. Kesian she had to go back to KL cos she had exams on Monday. I guess we made the longest stop at Chia Ying's house cos well, it was one heck of a BIG house, like soon said, was a good place to gamble. So the lot of us were there for quite sometime with Soon eating loads of money in the process. Poor dude kena scolded and banned from coming again. Though i'm pretty sure its all for fun la. I hope for his sake!
So since we were there till late in the evening, for the first time, no one came to visit my house.. Dunno i should be happy or sad eh? Hmm.. oh, MayPin, sorry for not visiting u ah.. haha.. tarak masa la, one day we play mah jong la, Jac is still around. Speaking of which, Jac was suppose to visit me oso but in the end dunno ffk go where..
The guys + Chia Ying in green and her lil brother
Anyways, later on that night, dunno how dengan semangatnyer, we manage to get our asses off the couch and go play pool. I suppose i just had too since i wont be seeing jo till end of the year at least and yong for God knows how long la :s .. But sadly, i kena own sial... Yes, not often that happens but wtf, dunno why my luck not good that day. Oh well...And the next day, only 5 of us manage to wake up for lunch. Lahanat yong duno why dun wanna go. Had chicken rice in Melaka Baru and guess who we saw there, Yong's dad tapau-ing for the whole family. Oh and a message to drew, do learn at least abit of chinese in UTAR, it'll benefit you no doubt!
And today pula went for futsal again. Nara came back to join us and after that, went yum cha with Zhou, Yong and Soon. Poor Zhou is leaving for Aussie for the first time tomorrow to further his studies. Dude, have a safe flight yea, and don't be so emo weh!! Hahhaha.. just gotta say that. :P
I guess that was what pretty much happened during the past few days. All the fun catching up and talking shit to each other. Its what we live for eh? Hopefully we'll be able to do this for years to come. :D Anyways, don't think that there will be much happening in the coming days.. Oh, Valentines Day is coming up soon, and i'm going to Penang on Friday! :D
She puts a smile on my face everyday
And of cos, not forgetting my dear who's in her hometown, missing u sweetheart, get well soon yea! I know its hard for u for us to be apart now, its hard for me to k, don't worry, well see each other soon enough :D. Don't know if its a good thing to say but : Thanks for giving me my space this festive period :).

Free Freee Freeeeeee......
Rite, my exams are finally over.. Fuck the exams la... Don't wanna talk bout it though i'm sure my parents will ask this n that la... oh well, dah biasa dah.. Anyways, i'm not so sure when i'll be comin back yet. Could be anytime from saturday to monday. Want to do some new year shoppin over here first before i get back. As i mentioned in d previous post, here are the pics taken from chillin at Pavilion looking for donuts.
Aly posing as if she's a tourist :P
I have to say, i'm pretty impressed with this place, its like huge weh, although we didn't get to explore every single shop since we were kinda late that day and my dear wanted to buy slippers badly. She said she wanted to go to Times Square to buy n then i said why not go Pavilion since we both wanted to see ( n taste) what all the fuss is about J.Co donuts. I think WeiNie already beat me to post bout it but what the heck rite, she does it in her 'fat girl' opinion mode.. :P ..
The concourse of the Pavillion
Anyways, once we were there, as expected there was a queue .. Quite a long one in fact. But the thing is, its moving rather fast as compared to any other queue's in the country. As i got closer, i manage to figure out why, instead of 1 person serving you, you get 3 instead. How u ask? Well, don't think to much la, you're not the PM so they instead have like 'stations' for each of the 3 staff. Once you're done with one station , they pass you onto their 'friend' at the next and so on. There, pretty simple and effective rite :).
I'm about to find out why there is a ridiculous amount of ppl Q-ing up
So the 2 of us decided to take the half dozen combo and at 11 bucks for 6 donuts, i think its a reasonable price to pay rite? We took the Tiramisu, Cheese, Chocolate with Choc filling, a normal glazed one with blueberry stuffin in the hole, another chocolate one but with nut toppings and and Oreo donut. I actually wondered what else can't you do with Oreos when it comes to desserts la? Got Oreo cheesecake, Oreo McFlurry, Oreo Donut, heck, there is even an Oreo shake here!!
The donut spread.. I will try EACH n everyone one day!!
But i have to say, the best of the 6 has to be the Tiramisu for me. Being the coffee addict that i am, i found it with just the rite amount of coffee and cream. Not too lite till its blend and not too heavy till its over kill. And it ain't as sickeningly sweet like other donuts too!! Next would have to be the cheese topped one. I'm not too sure what kinda cheese they put but the sprinkle of parsley and herbs did the trick!
Their logo looks similarly similar to another iced latte franchise eh?
My baby loved the Oreo one the most, have to admit, it is hard not too. And the blueberry one also very nice. Guess the best thing overall is that it ain't too sweet like Dunkin Donuts but still you'll be able to taste the richness in each bite! Now, would someone open a Krispy Kreme here!!
Half a dozen de-freakin-licious donuts
So after that we walked around awhile, they had a lot of varieties of foods over there, even one shop that specially sells yew char kuay. But at first glance at the sign of the shop, i was like WTF!! Got the pic below.. Scroll down la.
As the great Homer J. Simpson said "Mmmm... Donuts..."
And not surprising with CNY so close by, there was some performance at the stage with acrobats doin stuff and lion dance. To be honest, i wasn't too impress seeing that since its almost all the same at every show u see, like in gentings, china, cruises, etc. But my dear seems fascinated by it so terpaksa see lo :P..
You Tiao, I tiao, we tiao tiao togather la
Oh, we went to the supermarket there, forgot what is it called but it had some funky name to it... Went to the liquor section cos wanted to see what sorta stash they had there.. And to my pleasant surprise, they had loads and loads of stuff! Almost like Langkawi minus the duty free charges la dang.. But seriously, they had all those liqueurs used in mixes that i haven't seen anywhere else.. Unless of cos u go to a special liquor stall. But where else can u find triple sec, banana liqueur, lychee liqueur, vermouth, midori and? They even had Absolut Apeach and jamaican rum! If only la duty free.... The sales lady there also was very knowledgeable about the liquors and wines over there. Siap can give cocktail recipes summore!
Northern Lion Dance plus some chinese show..
Then after that, we made our way over to Sg Wang Plaza. Poor baby looked like she was almost in tears searchin for a good nice pair of flops. Finally found one at Vincci so, i'll jz cut this story short la :)
Chinese acrobats doin the pyramid. Now thats how its done!
On another note, last nite Man United beat Portsmouth 2-0 with a super goal from Ronaldo. The freekick better thn anything Beckham bended weh!! (well, almost la... ) 27 goals and its only halfway tru the season. 99' once more? hopefully la :D
We saw this group of people playin instruments rite at the pavement.. wonder why they blowin to the stone though..
So there it is ... my life so far.. suppose to go clubbing tonite as most of my friends over here finish exams today + my dear sedang memaksa me go.... I'll try to wriggle my way out if i can la.. ><..
check this goal out... even all you non Ronaldo supporters also will applaud at this brilliance!
Aly posing as if she's a tourist :P
I have to say, i'm pretty impressed with this place, its like huge weh, although we didn't get to explore every single shop since we were kinda late that day and my dear wanted to buy slippers badly. She said she wanted to go to Times Square to buy n then i said why not go Pavilion since we both wanted to see ( n taste) what all the fuss is about J.Co donuts. I think WeiNie already beat me to post bout it but what the heck rite, she does it in her 'fat girl' opinion mode.. :P ..
The concourse of the Pavillion
Anyways, once we were there, as expected there was a queue .. Quite a long one in fact. But the thing is, its moving rather fast as compared to any other queue's in the country. As i got closer, i manage to figure out why, instead of 1 person serving you, you get 3 instead. How u ask? Well, don't think to much la, you're not the PM so they instead have like 'stations' for each of the 3 staff. Once you're done with one station , they pass you onto their 'friend' at the next and so on. There, pretty simple and effective rite :).
I'm about to find out why there is a ridiculous amount of ppl Q-ing up
So the 2 of us decided to take the half dozen combo and at 11 bucks for 6 donuts, i think its a reasonable price to pay rite? We took the Tiramisu, Cheese, Chocolate with Choc filling, a normal glazed one with blueberry stuffin in the hole, another chocolate one but with nut toppings and and Oreo donut. I actually wondered what else can't you do with Oreos when it comes to desserts la? Got Oreo cheesecake, Oreo McFlurry, Oreo Donut, heck, there is even an Oreo shake here!!
The donut spread.. I will try EACH n everyone one day!!
But i have to say, the best of the 6 has to be the Tiramisu for me. Being the coffee addict that i am, i found it with just the rite amount of coffee and cream. Not too lite till its blend and not too heavy till its over kill. And it ain't as sickeningly sweet like other donuts too!! Next would have to be the cheese topped one. I'm not too sure what kinda cheese they put but the sprinkle of parsley and herbs did the trick!
Their logo looks similarly similar to another iced latte franchise eh?
My baby loved the Oreo one the most, have to admit, it is hard not too. And the blueberry one also very nice. Guess the best thing overall is that it ain't too sweet like Dunkin Donuts but still you'll be able to taste the richness in each bite! Now, would someone open a Krispy Kreme here!!
Half a dozen de-freakin-licious donuts
So after that we walked around awhile, they had a lot of varieties of foods over there, even one shop that specially sells yew char kuay. But at first glance at the sign of the shop, i was like WTF!! Got the pic below.. Scroll down la.
As the great Homer J. Simpson said "Mmmm... Donuts..."
And not surprising with CNY so close by, there was some performance at the stage with acrobats doin stuff and lion dance. To be honest, i wasn't too impress seeing that since its almost all the same at every show u see, like in gentings, china, cruises, etc. But my dear seems fascinated by it so terpaksa see lo :P..
You Tiao, I tiao, we tiao tiao togather la
Oh, we went to the supermarket there, forgot what is it called but it had some funky name to it... Went to the liquor section cos wanted to see what sorta stash they had there.. And to my pleasant surprise, they had loads and loads of stuff! Almost like Langkawi minus the duty free charges la dang.. But seriously, they had all those liqueurs used in mixes that i haven't seen anywhere else.. Unless of cos u go to a special liquor stall. But where else can u find triple sec, banana liqueur, lychee liqueur, vermouth, midori and? They even had Absolut Apeach and jamaican rum! If only la duty free.... The sales lady there also was very knowledgeable about the liquors and wines over there. Siap can give cocktail recipes summore!
Northern Lion Dance plus some chinese show..
Then after that, we made our way over to Sg Wang Plaza. Poor baby looked like she was almost in tears searchin for a good nice pair of flops. Finally found one at Vincci so, i'll jz cut this story short la :)
Chinese acrobats doin the pyramid. Now thats how its done!

Thank U Folks
With whats been goin on the past few weeks, i guess its good that my birthday came and went just a few days ago. You peeps who sent smses, facebook wishes, friendster testimonials n messages and of cos those who wished me in person really brightened up my day. So thanks to you all ya :D
I have to admit la, there were a few numbers who smsed me but i have no idea who is who la.. hahaha.. And i kinda had more 'international' smsed thn i foreseen.. thing is, i don't have ur numbers.. sorry ya guys.. ahha.. Phang n Lip, u change ur number eh?
The nite before my birthday, my baby, wallace and his girl went out jalan jalan around kl (well actually is jz drivin around til we reached jalan alor to eat la). And he had tis funny penang birthday tradition whereby they crack hardboiled eggs on to the birthday boy/girl's head!! -.-... First time i heard of tat sial.. And whats more, sakit pula tu!!... Then they went and did something sweet by buyin me a muffin and making me blow candles out at the makan stall..
And my dear got me a wallet for my birthday :D.. thanks ya baby, really liked it la :D.. and also a rocker accessory which i love! Next thing i need to get is a piercing :P..
Oh, finally went to Pavillion yesterday just to eat the J.Co donuts.. And i have to say, it is really as good as people say it is!! Got pictures comin up soon bout that so i'll leave that post for another time la.
Anyways, once again, thank ya'll for the wishes ya :D .. Hopefully i'll remember to do the same when the time comes. hahahaha ..

It's Creeping Up My Back Again...
Exams are starting in about 3 days time. I'm prepared as i'll ever will be. But the thing is rite, as of this very moment, i seriously feel like quitting the course i'm taking now. Wait, saying 'feel like' gives the impression that i might go back on it. Lemme rephrase : i seriously want to quit my course. This is not the first time this thought has been in my head. I think it was beginning of this year or last that i had this thought too but then it was just a thought.. Nothing serious, but now, more than ever, i really want too.
Why? one main reason is what ever little interest i have in this field has been washed down the drain by 1) senseless lecturers 2) severe pressure 3) just bloody don't feel like pressing the calculator anymore. Okay, the last one was abit of a drag but overall, can say my lack of interest la.. I mean, if i have to scrape my ass of the ground just to go for classes or keep my eyes open with a toothpick during revision, might as well not do it at all rite? I could even see what will happen, sit for exams, fail, pay resit money, sit again, possibly fail again then have to repeat.. FYI, bright student i am not -.-.
No, i haven't told my parents about this yet, want to wait for the right time. Possibly after CNY and after my projected holiday in penang *tat is underworks*. I hope that they will support my decision. I have a strong feeling that they will first say what they wanna say bout continuing and giving it another shot and then if all else fails, hopefully listen to what i have to say... Well, facing them is one problem, choosing what i want to do next is another.
Well, i do have some choices in mind, well, actually only one at the moment. I think i wanna do broadcasting. Why? cos it looks interesting, the subjects look very do-able and i think i will enjoy the courses. Sure sure ppl (esp elders + parents) will say that its not as easy as it sounds la, its not easy to get a job la, need to be hardworking la, need to be outspoken la this la that la. But the truth is, which course doesn't require all of the above huh? Think being an engineer means we don't have to communicate with people alot? Does anyone have insight on broadcasting?
And i am thinking, is it too late to start studying again? i don't think so rite?
Thomas Edison once said something like : "I didn't not fail 100 times to create a lightbulb, i just found out 100 ways how not to"
I guess that will be my main stand and argument la. And if i do do that course, the main reason for stayin inlala land TAR college is the fees and cost of living is way affordable.. So hey, why not. Shit, if i end up as a big shot at some tv station/radio station or being a big shot producer, won't be that bad rite? haha.. of cos, the road there ain't that easy.
I think i will see the college counsellor about this first. Its not my first time goin there so i know what i'm doing. See what she has to say, and take it from there...
So as of rite now, i'm 99.99% sure i'm not gonna continue with my course, the other 0.01% is the fact i continue and change institutes i guess...

Was watching Happy Tree Friends on Youtube just the other day when Aly's bro introduced me to this mini series :
It's damn cool and damn funny weh... You don't have to appreciate rock music to enjoy this.. think if Don saw this he'd laugh.. haha!!
On another note, guys and girls who have the adverlets.com thingi on ur blog, i'm sure you can't access ur blog page without it being redirected to someother site rite? Just remove it as some one forgot to renew their subscription la. Remove the link from ur template and it'll be all better :D
