Ramadhan

guess what!! starting today it's Ramadhan!! for those of you who do not know:

"Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, believed to be the month in which the Qur'an began to be revealed. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which Muslims don't eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset. Fasting is meant to teach the person patience and humility. Ramadhan is a time to fast for the sake of God, to offer even more prayer than normal and ask forgiveness for the sins of your past and ask for guidance in the future. To refrain from every day evils and try to purify oneself through self-restraint and good deeds."

wikipedia

(i do know what it is, i was just lazy to write a whole essay about it =P)

Anyway, i know throughout the year i do alot of things i'm not suppossed to do as a Muslim, but well.. i guess i have a really different view on religion, but i wont go into that. that usually ends up in hours of talking, and i do wanna sleep soon! =P anyway, i do respect Ramadhan, and it's the one month i will at least try to be a good Muslim. (wow... i sound soo holy now! hahaha)

anyway, here's just a few things that i won't be doing during Ramadhan:

• Eating -i'm only allowed to eat after the sun has set each day.. i've been trying to eat less the past week just so my stomach would get used to not getting that much food
• Drinking - no water during the daytime either.. u should see the huge bottle of water that i have next to my bed that i'm gonna drink every night just so i won't dry up
• And some things that i usually do throughout the year, i'm gonna stop just for this one month:

1. No swearing - no fuck, no shit, no damn, no..... ok.. i'm gonna stop now, it is technically ramadhan so no more swearing!!
   
2. No alcohol - i will stay sober this month! probably wont be too hard to do while i'm here, but i will be struggling when i go back to Aberdeen!!
3. No porn - shiiiit...............
   

well.. that's all i can think of for now i guess. probably will try to be alot nicer to everyone around me too.

but something i really am looking forward to.. the food!!! =D everynight can just go to nearest market and buy foooooooooooooooood!!!! loads and loads of food.. probably will have to control myself just so i dont get sick after..

on another note, some friends will be coming down to KL this coming week for a few days.. that should be fun! =)

To all the muslims (if any of my readers are muslim), happy fasting!! =)

Merdeka merdeka!!

jalur gemilang la la la la la lalla,
jalur gemilang la la la la lalalala..
na na na nanna na na na..
ok fine.. i don't know the song! but they were playing it over and over again toay in midvalley! got really annoying up to the point where we had to sneak away to gardens to get away from it. =P

yes, it's that time of year again where everyone hang up their flags! big or small, on their house or on their cars, one flag or a hundred flags! it's our independence day again! =)


is it just me or are people putting up less malaysian flags this year? i use to remember cars (especially taxis) being covered in those mini malaysian flags that u stick onto cars. but this year, i barely see any! maybe a few here and there, they can be spotted if u look for them. nothing compared to our previous years! a friend of mine even suggested that it's because "everyone give up on malaysia already" how sad is that!? =( hope it's just cause everyone has other things on their minds, like the by-elections and other politics stuff. really miss seeing all the flags all over the place =( that was one of the things i was looking forward to this summer.. oh well, i guess waking up early tomorrow to watch the parade would suffice.

tonight was merdeka's eve. alot of people go out drinking on this eve.. not sure why. don't see any connection between alcohol and clubbing with our independence day. i mean, i would understand new year's eve.. but the eve of merdeka? probably just an excuse for alot fo people to go out drinking. =P i know i used that excuse last year, and that didn't turn out too well.. =( it was a really bad night out... probably why i don't wanna celebrate on the eve of merdeka anymore.

it was even the last day that i would want to drink for a month! you see... i'm planning to go sober throughout the whole of Ramadhan (obviously.. and i will blog more about this tomorrow) i was really looking forward to drinking tonight, until i woke up this morning and noticed tonight was also merdeka eve. no way i was gonna go out tonight! oh well.. no more drinking for me!! (for a month at least =P)

instead i went out to watch Babylon AD with Sara.. man.. the movie was crap.. and we actually paid 20 bucks to watch it in gsc signature! damn them!! i got cheated for my 20 bucks.. wish we watched a nicer movie, >=( but they were really good seats!! =)

the rest of the night was spent wandering around Damansara Heights in the car.. aimlessly driving to whereever we felt like going. blasting the music really loud and singing along to pop and towards the end we even sang along to some classic rock! sadly we barely knew the lyrics.. ahahah. it was fun though trying to figure it out. =P

And that's how i quietly spent my merdeka eve.. =)

i am gonna try sleep in tomorrow, but i have the feeling my family would wake me up to watch the parade in the morning. oh well.. it is a once a year thing. might as well enjoy it. =)

HAPPY MERDEKA everyone!!!

Fatty Crab.. have i mentioned how much i hate Samsung!?!?

i've been using my Samsung for just a few months, and so far, i've only dropped it once. a drop, few inches off the table. even then it was ok. but suddenly, the past two days my phone's been acting up! the screen has been either really fuzzy, or it just doesn't show anything at all! just a blank screen! STUPID SAMSUNG!! the camera is pretty good for a camera phone, but as a phone... it sucks balls!! i've gone back to my Nokia... =)

Anyway, about fatty crab, for years i've heard people talk about fatty crab!! but never really had any interest in going there to eat. always thought, it's just crab isn't it!? I've never been too fond of eating crab. i always found it too troublesome to eat.. i want food that i can just eat! i hate it when i have to work for my food! cracking the shell open and scrapping the meat out only to get a tiny bit of meat to eat.

We ended up going out to have dinner at fatty crab! and wow it was goood!! Me and Aziq couldn't speak a word of chinese, so thankfully we had Sara and Sze to help us order everything. =P us guys just sat in our chairs and waited for the food to come! ahaahah.. it wasn't even that long of a wait, but the food was sooo goooood!!! =D

i didn't really have a problem with the shell this time cause Sze helped me get all the crab meat out of the shell

This is how much crab she unshelled for me.. wow i felt soo spoiled yesterday =P

a small part of the table.

(u might've noticed by now but the pictures were taken after the meal, all of us enjoyed the food too much to think about taking pictures)

the girls ;)

we really were struggling to finish it...

wow! was she that hungry!?

this pic of Aziq basically sums up how all of us felt after the meal

damn, feeling soo fat now... guess i'll have to work out a lil bit more than i usually do just to recover from that meal! signing off..........

Taman Negara

I've always had an interest in outdoor jungle camping stuff. ever since the good old scouting years. all we did was learn how to survive in the jungle like basic camping knowledge, knot tying, fire starting, tent setting, and also how to respect the jungle. well.. i guess in those days, we thought alot by our scout masters, but we almost never practiced any of it!

i think i remember going to only one or two camping trips the whole time i was in Cempaka! wow, for a person who likes the outdoors i sure don't go outdoors enough! but i remember those few camps that we had. they were really fun and i learned alot of new things! now that i think about it, i wish i went to more camps in my school days!

after a few years away from school, i kinda gave up the thought of going camping out in the woods again. and my family isnt really the type that goes on adventrous holidays. so it really was a shock when my dad told me that we were going to Taman Negara (National Park). Havent really been there before, and i didn't really know anyone who's been there and talked alot about it. but i guess it was something to look forward to! =)

found out a few days before the trip that we would be staying in chalets! i knew my family wouldn't stay in tents for a camping trip. so i didn't really think of it as a camping trip, so wasn't really expecting that much from it.

on the first night we were there, we went night trekking. i thought of it as just a walk in the jungle at night, but the guide showed us many of the insects and animals that came out at night! and wow some of them were cool!!! got back to our rooms... safe from leeches. =)

day two, we started off jungle trekking. and trekked our way to the canopy walk area. wow that was fantastic being soo high off the ground! it was funny watching my parents taking it a step at a time. and me racing through the bridges with my younger siblings. i'm thankful i didn't inherit my parent's fear of heights. After that we went back to our rooms to get changed to go swimming! our guide took us further up the river to go swimming in the river. wow the current was strong! me and my bro tried to see who could swim against it... yeaaa... he's a much better swimmer than i am. and still we're all safe from leeches! wohoo!!

on the third and final day of events, we went cave exploring! it was a really short cave, but my parents turned back half way cause they couldn't keep up, and my dad couldn't fit through some of the holes =S but the whole cave ceiling was covered in bats!!! there was just about a foot between my head and them at some points. i could feel them shitting on me!! i just kept telling myself that it was water dripping on my head. and on the way back to the boat, i caught 2 leeches on my shoe before they went any further up! and when we went back to the rooms to get changed, found out that everyone else got bitten by leeches except for me! how lucky am i? =P

on the same day we also went rapids shooting, which is basically going really fast in a long skinny boat over rapids. had loads of fun on that one. and on the way back we dropped by some Orang Asli village, which i wasnt really keen on at first, but they let me play with the blowpipe, so i was entertained =) also found out that the orang asli that live in the Taman Negara are originally from East Africa. so they looked really african, but they could speak perfect malay.. so that was really interesting to learn about how they came here.

and on the fourth day, we were struggling to pack because all of us were soo tired, all we wanted to do was go home. it was good to be home, i could finally check facebook!! =D i really am addicted to facebook... =(

altogether i really did enjoy myself on this trip which is rare, because i usually hate family trips! we always end up going nowhere! and be forced to go to places that only my parents want to go. but this time, i can actually say i really enjoyed this trip with my family. =)

also i would definitely recommend anyone who is a fan of outdoor camping trips to go to taman negara! they've got loads of different packages to choose from! (they should pay me for advertising)

yay!! i actually did get to post something up tonight.. wow.. i can actually sleep now.. yayyy!!! =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! =D

J.D. a girls best friend.. or Sara's at least =P

I'd just like to wish my dear friend Sara a happy 20th birthday!

We ended up going to Bar club last minute, it almost didn't happen, but why not!? since i wont be here for sara's birthday, i thought i should be celebrating it with her at the stroke of midnight!! hahahah.. sadly no pics of the night just yet. i'm really tired and i gotta wake up in about 2 hours time...

Tomorrow i'll be heading off to taman negara for the next few days. i'll be back on sunday, so hopefully i can post up the pics then!

WTF!?!?!! U BIT ME!!!

The day started off pretty stressful.. not knowing who would actually be able to make it that night! a bunch of us were planning to go to bar club, but then some people couldn't really confirm. so anyway, took a short break from that, and played some baseball!!! the batting cages are really awesome!! but u gotta go with friends. i tried going there alone.. it sucked... =(

cheok! u can do it!!

Ching Mun waiting patiently for her turn..

BRING IT ON!!!

I had loads more pics of ching mun batting, but she deleted them while i was batting... damn.. why did i trust her with my phone!! =( oh well.. at least i have one pic of her staring out into the horizon! looks soo artsy! i like =)

And so, after working up a sweat, we decided to stink up a cinema by watching Star Wars!! man... that show was for kids!! that cinema was practically empty! should have watched wall e instead!.. oh well.. i'll just watch it next week.

But before the movie even started, look what this Ching Mun did to me!!!

WTF!!!?! she actually bit me!!

idiotic ching mun!!!! i bite u back then u know!!! >=(

A lazy day.....

........zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ........

This is how i spent most of my afternoon! after having breakfast i watched some tv but there was nothing on, so i sat infront of my laptop and fell asleep! why is this place sooo hot!! i was melting! just felt really tired cause of the heat so didn't feel like doing anything. i was just rolling around in bed falling in and out of sleep. i even had a short dream that my bedsheets changed colour on its own! hahaha. i never have this feeling when i'm in Aberdeen.. it can only be the heat here..

Next thing i know, it's the evening, and i just cant stand being at home anymore. so i went out for abit, and came back in time for dinner.

Anyway, after dinner, me and my family just sat infront of the TV to watch the olympics. Badminton! the only sport that i think we have a (sorry to say) real chance of winning!

Malaysia's player, lee chong wei

it was a good match to begin with, but it was obvious who was dominating the court. sadly.. we lost in the finals.. =( but i think chong wei did his best, and he won our first medal in this olympics! we can at least be happy about that! woohooo!! congrats to him! Everyone's really sad that he lost, but i'm glad that he at least got a medal for us! =)

Wonder if we stand a chance in any of the other sports =S
i hope we do...

Pictures of you..

Ever since that forgetting sarah marshall movie that i watched with Chingy, i've been thinking alot about Janice.. about how much i miss her.. been looking through some of our pictures together.

me and janice a few weeks before we got together..

I don't think she'll ever stumble on this page, so i just wanna say..

I miss her american accent
I miss argueing about the right way of pronouncing things (brit or american)
I miss how we tickled each other throughout the day
I miss learning how to cook new dishes for her
I miss how she couldnt eat the spicy food i made for her
I miss watching movies with a tub of ice cream between us
I miss buying her chocolates everytime i went to see her
I miss keeping her warm in my cold flat that only i feel comfortable in
I miss talking to her till i fall asleep
I miss waking up to her
I miss going to parties with her
I miss how she told me about the countries she's visited
I miss how she helped me out during Japanese classes
Damn i miss her....

but i guess i just generally miss being with someone.. oh welllll.. just have to move on.

it's her birthday today (16th Aug).. i'd just like to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! even if she doesnt read this. hahaha..

Sick of this country, but proud to be Malaysian..

Just moments ago i listened to this song, and i just felt really goood to be Malaysian. Don't know why.. i know this has been around for awhile now, but i just listened to the lyrics and it really touched me.

I know for the past few weeks i've been going on and on about how much i'm sick of KL, i actually really am! and quite sick of this country too! i mean, at it's current state! i wish when i do come back to KL to settle down, it'll be in a much more livable state. can't there at least not be anymore racism? But even so, i really think Malaysia is a beautiful country, we have soo much potential! why aren't we rising up?! yerrr.... dunno why i feel kinda patriotic now, but still... i'm really sick of KL now, i just wanna run away to UK for awhile =P but i definitely do wanna come back to Malaysia sooner or later =)

here's the lyrics to this song:

HERE IN MY HOME

Verse 1

Hold on brother hold on

The road is long. We’re on stony ground

But I’m strong. You ain’t heavy

Verse 2

Oh there’s a misspoken truth that lies

Colors don’t bind, oh no.

What do they know? They speak falsely.

Chorus

Here in my home

I’ll tell you what its all about

There’s just one hope here in my heart

One love undivided

That’s what it’s all about

Please won’t you fall in one by one by one with me?

Verse 3

Push back sister won’t you push back?

Love won’t wait. Just keep pushing on.

Yes I’m strong. You ain’t heavy.

Verse 4

Oh don’t you worry about that…

What we have shadows can’t deny

Don’t you know it’s now or never?

A tyresome day..

Woke up sneezing and coughing this morning... i hate being sick. =( i don't usually get sick, but kinda got really sick over the weekend, during the trip to cameron highlands (more about that later on). so anyway, woke up feeling really ill, so i took some meds and contemplated if i should ROT at home, or try find something to do which would probably mean going out while being sick.

After entertaining myself by watching really random people singing on youtube, i was starting to feel restless... thankfully someone who's usually as bored as me woke up and came online! before i knew it, i was on my way out to pick Ching Mun up to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. i know it's a chick flick, but i wanted to watch it cause of Russell Brand, if you've never heard of him before, he's a british comedian, and he is hilarious! so i was hoping this movie would be as funny as his shows i watched in the UK. (owh, and Kristen Bell is super hot in this movie!)

Ching Mun decided to dress really 'young' today, which caught me by surprise, i mean i could swear she looked under 18 today! and so, she started taking alot of 'sweet' pics of herself, saying she doesnt have any. and i told her she couldn't pull it off.. and so i paid the price by being her camera man and taking loads of 'sweet'-ish pics of her before the movie.

one of the many pics i took of her

and just before we went into the cinema, she actually convinced me to do a few kiddish poses as well.. but i'm not gonna embarass myself by posting them up! well, she put it up on her blog as revenge for her sleeping pic i uploaded on mine.. but it's ok.. i will get even... i just have to be patient, and wait till she gets pissed drunk and starts making out with another girl again! =P

Anyway, about the movie, it was ok, but if you're in malaysia i'd recommend u to wait for the DVD.. they cut out waaay too many scenes!! until the point that it got really annoying! putting the censorship aside, that movie really made me miss Janice.. whenever the guy had flashbacks about what he did with his ex, i had flashbacks too.. i even talked about how much i missed Janice to Ching Mun on the way back, i just couldn't get her off my mind. i mean like, i am over her but i guess i just miss being together with someone.. =( just before i could miss her anymore, something happens to take my mind completely of her..

yes.. i punctured a tyre.. =( not sure how or when. didn't really notice it until i was driving back from 1U, by then i didn't know how far i drove like this. i knew the car was making weird noises!!

that shiny thing in my tyre is the cause of this!

it looked small but man it refused to budge! i was really curious about what i drove over! but finally after about an hour...

it finally decided to let go of the tyre

definitely cant use this tyre anymore!! guess what i pulled out of it?

where the hell did that come from?!?!?

it was quite annoying that it happened cause i have to embarassingly drive with a spare tyre for the next few days until my dad comes back and fixes it. =( i'd do it myself, except he has the card =P

anyway... that kinda spoiled the day... i think i'll post about my camerons weekend another day. i really need some rest!!

byeeeeee...

The Incredible Hunt!!

About a week ago Li Hong asked me to join her treasure hunt, at first i thought she wasn't serious, so i didn't pay that much attention to it, but just a few days ago she convinced me to join. i mean like, why not? i was thinking this should be fun! and so i told her that i would take part. and about 2 days before the actual event i find out that i'll be needing a partner! where am i gonna find a partner for this treasure hunt!? most of my friends aren't really into these kinda things. And then i remembered someone who might just be as bored as i am...

I met Kaj (pronounced 'Kai') about a few weeks ago, i'm his big sis's neighbour in Aberdeen. he's here visiting a few friends and his girlfriend's friends and family. He's from Sweden, but his parents are originally from Hong Kong. If you're wondering about his name, it's swedish spelling for a chinese name.

Anyway, about the treasure hunt! we got there on time, but just as usual in Malaysia, u get everyone coming about 30 minutes late. but in the end there were only 4 teams.. =( i think there were more organisers than participants.

organisers preparing

a few pics before we begin

taking a pic of Xin Ying taking a pic of me =P

They gave us a variety of tasks to complete from spotting differences, shooting hoops, blowing on flour and even buying ice! oh yea, our team name is 'Superheroes' sadly, i forgot to tell Kaj to wear his superman shirt!

Let's put a smile on that face!!

No matter what the task, ALOT of running was involved! i think me and Kaj's team ran the most, but stupid busses gave time for the other teams to catch up! >=(

Me and Kaj thinking we got the grand prize, hehehe.

seems that there was some miscommunication between the organising team, and so there was this huge meeting after refreshments before they gave the prizes. One of the lecturers even came to try solve the problem. seems, that we didn't get first place, which was alright. me and Kaj were just in it for fun. we weren't even studying there! =P and so, everything was resolved, and me and Kaj are satisfied with our medal and shirts we got! =) we even gave our third prize to the fourth team cause we both didn't think we'd be using the discount vouchers. It was all good fun! we didn't come to win the prize, we took part in it to have fun! and we did =D

Came back pooped! went straight on my bed and fell asleep for a couple of hours before waking up to dinner. wow, i really needed a shower then. and the flour stayed in my hair until the shower! =S

It was another good day =D

i better head off to bed, it's 1:45am and i gotta wake up in just over 2 hours! going to Cameron Highlands with my family for the weekend.

good night!!

Home in the afternoon

it's in the middle of the day, and i'm at home!!! what's wrong with me!?

it's actually cause of the stupid weather..

i could barely see in front of me when i was driving back from fetching my lil sis!!

stupid malaysian weather! and i was soo looking forward to having cendol with Ching Mun and Li Hong =(

One hell of a day!

It was really one hell of a day today! It really was a roller coaster.

It began just like any usual day, i went to my gran's house to go swimming. And i had lunch plans which i was looking forward to. After swimming i headed all the way to Pavilion for lunch with Dilin and Sng Ming. Ate at some pasta place, i wouldn't recommend it, service was bad and slow and the food wasn't that nice either.

So they had to head back to work, and i wanted to head off to timesquare to buy some shoes. Just as i got out of Pavilion, and going onto Jalan Bukit Bintang, i got into an accident.. MY FIRST ACCIDENT!! well.. i've been in accidents before, but this is the first time it was my fault!! DAMN! it wasn't anything serious, just a tiny little scratch. owh, and a piece of advice if you're driving a Honda City, that bloody car is shaped in a way that the slightest nudge will dent the car infront!! go look at the City! it's sharp infront! who the hell went and designed the car like that?!?!?! >=(

my car after the accident! (ignore that black spot, it was there before) do u see anything!? NO that's because there's barely any damage, just some paint scratched off on the tip of the nose.

but anyway, i tried my best to stay calm while explaining myself to the guy, but it was in malay, so my vocab was VERY limited. and i couldnt explain why i banged his car!! i kinda just zoned out! he asked me to pay him for the tiny little scratch, but i managed to talk my way out of it. his boss hasn't given me a call yet, so i'm guessing his boss didn't think it was a big deal either? unless he's gonna call tomorrow. =(

And so i continued on with my day being depressed cause i had my first accident... =( to all of you who are against me smoking, i'm sorry but i smoked. i was stressed and depressed! and smoking did help! but then i don't think i wanna suffer later on, so i'm trying to find out what to do with the rest of the box. at the moment it's hiding in my car. i want to give it away but i just don't hang out regularly with any smokers! wonder how long it'll take for it to go bad.

Anyway, i bought my DC shoes! i think they're fake (shhh....) but i hope they last at least a year =S

I headed home straight after i got my shoes. just when i got home, Aziq came and picked me up. he was bored and he wanted me to help him finish Need for Speed Carbon. but just like everytime we go out to do something, we get sidetracked. went to a gym shop at Telawi. he wanted to get a sit-up machine, why do u need a sit up machine when u can just do it by yourself!? anyway, there was this Body Composition Analyzer machine thing. It really made my day, here's the main results:

Height: 164cm
Weight: 71.1kg
BMI: 26.4
FAT%: 23.7%
Desirable fat%: 14-20%
Desirably fat mass: 8.8 - 13.6kg
Target BF%: 20%

Fat to lose: 3.3kg

the machine thingie

First of all... I LOST WEIGHT!!!! WOHOO!! since i got back i've been eating loads, but i guess the recent dieting and exercise is helping =D secondly, 3.3kg is all i have to lose to be in the desirable range!! 3 kilos!?!? that's nothing!! i can lose that before i fly off back to aberdeen!! that will be my target then!! to lose 3 kilos in less than a month =P no problem!

we ended up not buying the sit up machine. so we headed down to Gardens, Aziq wanted to watch The Mummy in Gold Class! and so we did. one ticket costs Rm60! the last time i went to gold class it was only RM35!! but this goldclass was soooo... wow.... i think it's really worth the money. just that i wouldn't spend that much money on myself to just watch a movie. the movie was alright but my phone wasn't.. i left the camera on (while it was in my pocket of course, it's not like i was recording the movie) and so half way through the movie, my phone told me it was low on battery.. =( and right after the movie, i just decided to switch itself off... stupid samsung... couldn't the camera go on stanby or something!?

when we leaving Gardens, Aziq tipped all the guys in the Valet parking, and he sat in the passenger's seat. HE ASKED ME TO DRIVE!!! woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... i wanted to make sure he meant it first, before i jumped into the driver's seat. took awhile to find where all the levers for adjusting his seat, it must've took at least 10 minutes before we actually got the car moving. HE wasn't really feeling well, so he just wanted to sit in the car and sing. it didn't matter what he was doing, all i needed was to hear the car, feel the car. his car was brilliant!! had power, stayed flat during corners, and it sounded great!! and so we drove around for an hour speeding on most highways. i don't know how i'm gonna go back to driving my car now.. but it was really a great way to end the day. I'd really like to thank Aziq for trusting me enough to drive his car. Thanks dude!

Thinking of running...

just got a facebook message from Dr. Rizal inviting all the old cempakans to join in on the Run & Roll 08.08.08.

The programme is as follows:
9am Run starts at Cempaka Damansara (10 legs of 2.5km)
1pm Runners finish at Cempaka Cheras
4pm Convoy leaves from Damansara for Cheras
5pm Damansara convoy joins Cheras convoy and both head for CILC together
6.30pm Arrive in CILC. Satay Party. Fruits. Rock Band. etc.
8.00pm Signing of CILC plaque. (Possibly Olympics opening on screen)
End.

should i? i mean like, think of it. if i can jog more than 2.5km it would be good enough. and i bet it would be a hell of an experience trying to keep up with these 'kids'!

but damansara to cheras... it does sound kind of far..
hmmmm......

Murni, some other place in SS2 & McD

After a boring day with the family and a few hours of E on astro, i got sooo fed up of being at home that i wanted to go out, i switched the TV off, and lay on my bed thinking of what i could do to fill up what i had left of a sunday. luckily the phone rang!

It was Jie Xing, he invited me to go have dinner at Murni in SS2 with some of the old cempakans cause Kenny was leaving tomorrow! i'm not that close to Kenny, but.. WOHOO!! something to pass the time! =D

Towards the end of dinner, Sze called, she asked if i wanted to hang out for abit. wohoo!! more stuff to do! picked her up and we headed back to SS2. she wasn't really feeling well so she had some ginseng chicken soup thing. my granmom usually makes this for herself, and i've tried it before.. really healthy but horrid tasting! =(





Then came these bunch of guys who sat next to our table and started smoking, so we left. guess where we ended up!

yes... McDonalds! hahhahaha.. ordered a portion of large fries and some ice cream! mmm... but we got kinda bored and started playing with our foood!

Experiment #1: Ice Cream + Pepper



Experiment #2: Ice Cream + Creamer

The only experiment she was willing to try!

Experiment #3: Ice Cream + Chilli Sauce + Sugar + Pepper

I actually am feeling sick now recalling how it tasted like...

After the last experiment we were feeling like we were getting a lil tired, so we ended it there. I pity the guy who had to clean the mess up. =(

Anyway, it was quite a fun night with nothing really significant being done. Don't you just love midnight boredom? =P

Bazaars and a random pic ;)

shortly after i fell asleep just after my post this morning, i got a call from a number i didn't save.

"hello?"
"hey! eh, still asleep ah u?"
"kind of la, fell asleep after breakfast. why?"
"nola, there's this bazaar in bangsar that i wanna go to"
"hmm.. dunno, see first la.. wait.. who's this?"
"what!? don't u know who i am!?"
"uhh... i just woke up la! still abit blur! what u want from me!?"
"still! how could u forget my voice!"
"wait! continue talking! i'll figure it out sooner or later!"
"aiyo.."
"OWH!!! i know who!!" [at this point i still had no idea]
"finally!!"
"what's up?"
and we just continued our conversation for another minute or so about what we'd be doing in an hour.

i still couldn't figure out who it was!!! looked through my phone book and trying to remember how their voices sounded like. hahahahha... u don't know how troublesome that was. IT WAS YAR SZE!!! hahaha!! can't believe i forgot how she sounded like when i just saw her like a few days ago!! SORRY!! =P

but anyway, we went to the bazaar in bangsar.. nothing interesting so we were on the way back when Aziq called. He wanted to meet up and have lunch together at the curve. So we did, ate at some Italian restraunt, Sze could barely eat cause she couldn't eat cause her lips were sore, so i ended up eating more than half of her dish. I was stuffed after the meal! Thanks to Aziq again for buying us lunch ;) so we walked until Aziq bought a few things for his computer and left. So, it was back to shopping!

Despite all the things that happened in the past between me and her i'm glad we can still hang out normally like we did today.

<--- pic of sze that she took herself while waiting for the super slow travel agent to find out how much a flight to Aussie would cost

Pic she took of me with her bimbo glasses on ----->

I'm not sure if we'll be as close as we used to be but it's a start. i'm not the type to hold grudges against anyone. =) but yea, it was a fun day.

Anyway, i'd like to end this blog with a really random pic of Ching Mun sleeping in my car! =P i just saw this pic in my phone and i just had to post it! not sure how'd i ever get into topic of this but she will probably kill me for putting this here, so i'll just post a few more other things till this post gets pushed off the main page.. that's all for today! Good night!! =)

Randy Pausch

woke up at 5am this morning cause my back was hurting like hell from falling asleep infront of my laptop (i find that i've been doing that alot lately), and guess who i saw online! Li Hong! hahaha.. she was watching a video of Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture. at first i was still half asleep but after the first 2 minutes, it just woke me up. For those of u who doesn't know who Randy Pausch is, i'm just gonna copy paste what they wrote about him on youtube:

Carnegie Mellon Professor, Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

It really moved me. OWH! wow... u know what i just realised? he actually passed away just a week ago..





but yea, if u have an hour of your day to spare, i do recommend that u watch this. it's just the way he speaks and the life experiences he goes through. i just wish when i'm old, i'd have that much to talk about my life. i wish i even wrote down my childhood dreams when i was little so i can look back at them and see what i can do to accomplish them. the "head fake" in the lecture is just brilliant.. may he rest in peace.

sychaz and his first day with his blog

i should also probably explain sychaz. well, it's just how my manager mispelt my name for the first time, but this is the coolest way i've seen it being mispelt! sounds so mexican-ish! hahaha. i jst thought it was cool =P

anyway! about today, was quite an early start compared to most days, got out of the house at about 8am, just cause i had to get my car serviced so i could be somewhere for lunch. well, the lunch was the highlight of the day. anyway, went all the way to pavilion just to have lunch with Dilin and Sng Ming (actually had to check Facebook on how to spell his name! hahaha) we ate at Ichiban Boshi.

it is a good restraunt, and it is also reasonably priced. i think i go there waaaay too much! today was probably like the 5th time i've been there? well, that's alot for me at least! but yea, for each RM30 u spend here they'll stamp your card. ------------------->

I usually go with Najla, so she has another card. but on my next visit to ichiban boshi i can get a free california roll and a soft shell crab tempura!! wohooo!! =D don't u just love the word FREE?

welll.... that's about it, the rest of the day was spent hanging out with Aziq, he spent like Rm750 on some sort of arabic fragrance from KLCC. mad..

damn.... my first post of today is kinda boring... =( nvm, i promise myself that future posts will be more happening! =P

now time for a quiet friday night at home... =)

first post!!! =)

it's always the same, the excitement when i always start a new blog. my first blog was made just so i could show how big a Linkin Park fan i was, after the Linkin Park craze died down, so did the blog. next up, made a blog just so i could talk about cars! mainly cause i was looking forward to the Super GT in Sepang about a year ago, but after the event i kinda ran out of stuff to talk about. A close friend of mine then suggested that we both get a blog so we could update each other on how we're doing, it was actually the blog with the highest number of posts, but somehow, i forgot the password. =( Then i made a blog just for pictures of Aberdeen, i eventually got lazy taking pics, so i abandoned it.

So, here's the latest blog!!! Main purpose this time: I'M SOOOO BORED!!!!

I've still got over a month left in KL and i have really run out of stuff to do! i really want to do stuff, but for some reason i just can't be bothered to do most of it! =( i actually prefer doing nothing most of the time, it's just that i can't be stuck in the house for too long, i get really restless! so, i need somewhere to go to do nothing.. where should i go to do that?!?! so yea, i guess i figured if i start a blog it'd at least fill up some of my time. =)

so... here's my blog!!! =D
