Toyota Corolla AE111 Performance Parts for Sale

2010-07-02T11:41:00.011+08:00

Hey people... Long time no see...

I have some performance parts for sale form my AE111. These things are in perfect working condition. I don't sell spoilt things. My reason for sale is that I am changing the setting of my car back to street/city drive use. All these performance parts came from the previous owner when I bought this car. Please browse through and have a look.

First.. GT Wing (RM 280.00)

This black GT wing has 3 adjustable positions + 2 adjustable height. Downforce can be varied by simply adjusting the bolts. Installation bolts and nuts provided. With this price, don't expect it to be carbon fibre. Made out of heavy duty plastic.

Material: Heavy Duty Plastic

Colour: Black

Condition: 8/10

Straight-Flow Muffler/Exhaust (RM 250.00)

This muffler is a cherry-bomb/straight flow/high flow type. Gives a fierce, deep exhaust growl when idling and then advances to a boomy roar once past 3000rpm. Very suitable for forced induction or cam changing engines (VVT, VTEC, MIVEC). For my 1.6 litre engine, it gives a sudden pull once past 4700 rpms. Increases breathing efficiency of performance engines and hence top-end power. This is still quite new and the acoustic fibres are still there. On top of that, this is not a cap-ayam brand. So I'm selling it for RM 250.00. The brand is F-1. Of course this is not as good as japan brands such as Tanabe and HKS, but it is definitely better than those cap-ayam in terms of flow and aural quality. This muffer will even enable you to spit fire if you know how to tune the air-fuel ratio. When I was using it, I managed to create backfire but it didn't spit fire as I did not remove the catalytic converter. Also adds a fierce look to your car. To hear a sample exhaust note, please browse down to the video at the end of this post.

Colour: Chrome

Material: Stainless Steel

Inlet piping dia: 2"

Outlet dia: 2.5"

Tailpipe tip dia: 4"

Condition: 8/10

Straight flow

Automatic Gearbox (RM 1.00)

I do not have a picture of this, but if anyone has a manual gearbox and wants to swap, you are most welcome. My gearbox is tip top. No problem. No clutch slippage. No gear grinding. No leaks. Gearshifts clean, precise and on time. My reason for wanting to swap is I do not like driving auto. I know this doesn't make sense to a lot of people especially ladies, but that is the fact. Cost of fixing will be bored by self.

For anything, feel free to contact 0169108911. SMS will NOT be entertained. Spams and pranks will be REPORTED. Jokers will be cursed.

For serious and interest people, just call. =)

I made Cheese! ^^

2009-08-21T01:05:00.008+08:00

There's this type of cottage cheese that i tasted in india.. It's called paneer and is widely used in north indian cooking. Being a cheese freak, I fell in love with it at first bite and was determined to learn it and make it back at home. Finally it worked! After some teachings from some of my friends from india, and some googles... and some personal experiments and modifications!

The feeling is good... People will actually ask... "You cook cheese... Okay... But err... YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CHEESE"? Feels like you have some superpowers or somehting... Haha.. Actually its relatively easy... After making it, I fried it in chillies... This is a north india cooking called Chilli Paneer.

The chunks of cheese

Some of the chinese foods that I brutally feast on my first week back here...

2009-08-14T14:26:00.009+08:00

Staying in KL for a week has been fun and I must say, it's not enough! Not enough to enjoy all the fun places and happenings there! But that is good in that it will make me return for more!

This is the jetty to take a ferry to Pulau Ketam

They built their village up to the water

Inside the island... On a boardwalk

Seafood fried meehoon is awesome

The "not so awesome as fried meehoon-still awesome fried rice"

We then went to The Loaf at Pavillion. This is the restaurant cum bakery opened by our former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohammad.

Was candid! ^^

Their breads are really good.

We ordered 2 sets of breakfast which filled us up until lunch! Very big portion. One was a Malaysian breakfast known as Tun's breakfast (Tun's favourite breakfast) and another was an american breakfast.

The american breakfast, RM29+ can feed 2! Omelette, sausages, hash browns, light salad served with 2 pieces of chunky bread and a croissant. Comes with orange juice and coffee/tea.

Tun's Breakfast consists of a fragrant mutton curry with 2 pieces of chunky bread for dipping and 2 half boiled eggs. I opted for 3/4 boiled and they did it perfectly accurate! Also served with orange juice and coffee/tea.

My eggs fixed with soy sauce and pepper...

Haircut!

New hair

Street Food

Some glutinous rice with chicken floss and sambal

Fried stuff. The round ones have a yolk in the middle and the rolls are made of crabsticks and cheese.

Have to have it with this!

My perfect vision...

2009-07-25T16:21:00.003+08:00

is gone...
How I missed the times...
When I can see so sharply...
In a distance of a mile...
When I can sense danger approaching...
With senses almost inhuman...
My perfect vision...
now gone...

Now i feel handicapped... I had eye infection for about 3 weeks... Called my supervisor to take me to a doctor but it took like forever... And now... It's sort of damaged... i was prescribed with some eye drops... they say it'll be fine... but the thing is that... now, my perfect vision is gone... Almost all I see in a distance is blurred... Can't focus... i missed those times when everything was sharp... When I could stare right into the core of the sun. When I can read stuff from far far away. Not aided by any optical devices... now both of my eyes are imapired. 180 deg on both sides... i always wanted to wear glasses... but not for the need of it... I have to say... I missed my perfect vision so, so much... i feel seriously handicapped. Feel unsafe. Feel not used to it. The truth is, I will never be... as vigilant again. Gone is my agility... My strength... Where's my ability to scan? Where's my sharpness? I hope it'll come back one day... But if thisis God's will, let it be done... I have to admit I like my looks more with glasses... But not when I really needed to use it. I will train... My agility will come back. I will be as vigilant as before.

Cause of eye infection: Dust and uv rays in India
Cause of eye injury : Procastination of medication and excessive rubbing.
Total consequence : Imapaired vision
Who to blame? : Partly the area, the climate. Partly myself for rubbing. Onot forgetting the people who took forever to take me to the clinic. Screw them. Good hospitality. This is the way to treat your guest. The guest of the vice-chancellor. I will tell of this back in my country.

I will have my perfect vision back

2009-07-06T13:20:00.005+08:00

This was the Garden Tea that we get invited to after the convocation. At the residence of the founder. Was quite grand...

This was inside the founder's house. It's a museum now.

Mutton Briyani.. yummy...

This is what you call a double distill water machine...

Fruit cocktail... Good for hot days...

The Garden in the Campus...

This is a MiG fighter being assembled! Someone donated it to the Faculty of Engineering.

Cool Badam Milk a.k.a. Almond Milk

And this is the ass kicker! Its called Funaloo by Maggi. Is actually whipped potato seasoned with maggi's seasoning! Masala flavour! Imagine whipped potato topped with maggi's curry seasoning! That's the taste.

Pictures from our visit to the old campus...

Old reading room

Big old Mosque

Standing in front of the tomd of someone now... Don't know who. Maybe the founder's.

Another creepy tomb.

Specially ordered dinner. Chilli Paneer. Paneer are indian cheese cubes. Cheese cubes fried with chilli. OMG... Use you imagination.

HOtness....

2009-06-09T11:57:00.004+08:00

This place is jsut gettin hotter by the day... Its pure desert climate here.
Food is improving here nowadays as im switching to vegetarian. Their meat dishes keep repeating and it makes me want to puke thinking of it. Anyways... Despite the inconviniences, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to study here for a brief moment as it would be good for my future. I sure do envy my friends who got to go to Korea, China and US. But anyways.....

The academic here is good. GREAT! A lot of scholars. phD holders are everywhere here because the competition of gettin a job is so high. And phD is a normal thing here. People here love to study a lot. I think me and my friends are the only non-phD ppl here for the moment. The university's is cool. Old oxford style. Equipment and facilities wise, they are not better than UMS. But in terms of academic and publications, I think its quite respectable. Definitely bash UMS up. Their academic is really great!

Hmm... Can't tell much as I'm havin probs uploading photos here... Connection sux until it cannot suck anymore. Computer, technology and internet are dug up from the ice age. And... Cost of living is ugH~.... Much much hogher than I expected... Gosh...

2009-06-01T12:12:00.016+08:00

Finally i got come internet access. Connection here sucks... So... I won't be updating that often. Even for this post, i've been fighting for about 6 days to update. Communication sucks. Luckily I can use the department's computer early in the morning. A lot of pictures... No itme to resize... So please bear with it. Wait for it to load. Maybe you can on it and let it load for 9 minutes....

This is the sucky look i have on the plane... Got to wear the mask... Lest I get A H1N1

A good plane. Airbus A330. I've always wanted to try this plane. But damn we got the last row of seats.

I've always loved airplane food. Food was splendid. Nasi Briyani set.

India is so very freaking hot. This is my place of stay for the first night. 45 degrees. Damn... You can feel your flesh cook. Look at the cloudless skies.

Thanks to India's superb building design and technology, inside buildings are significantly cooler than the dessert hot outside. This device is a water cooler. It is a fan that bloes through cool water to cool a room. This made our room cool and comfy unlike outside...

Although the part of India that I'm in is quite... erm... backwards, everything was old, they served us with the best treatment they have. this was our huge breakfast!!!

Lunch on the second day... Our supervisor here brought us to a "quite" high class restaurant. OMG! The taste! This was our chicken curry! No indian food in Malaysia taste this good.

Dry chicken curry

My fav north Indian food. Vegetable Kofta... This, i prefer the one from Malaysia. Esp with cheese sauce.

They eat raw onions here. I felt kinda weird initially... But now i love it! Helps digestion of food!

The university here is v big... this is just a small fragment of the whole uni. Aligarh Muslim University. Aligarh is a small and severly poor town. It's dirty beyond my description. Keeping hygiene is always my primary concern here. But thanks to the existence of the university here. It's completely different from the town outside.

Thanks to the effort of our supervisor here, Dr Suhail. He is so kind to arrange us to move to the uni's guest house. This place was actually only meant for VIP guests. It's much comfortable than the student's hostel where we first stayed! There's aircond, water heater, room service and they cook dinner for us! Dinner at the guest house was nice, though not as nice as that high class restaurant. We have one prob... They cook the same thing everyday for lunch and dinner. Thanks to Sham, the management changed our menu yesterday...

This is the department that I am working in. Department of chemistry. Cool place... Old uni. Something like the universiti in harry potter. Although old, the labs are good and well equipped.

Okay... And now, some fun reports... We visited some historical sites... Don't have time to explaine one by one. I'll just explain the important ones...

Lorries in india are colourrful and noisy... The culture of ppl here is that they horn wherever they go... It's like a "hi". When we first arrivged here. we were so stressed and angry coz we're not used to it. Horns are offensive to oth ppl. It's still v irritatin to me... It's noisy all the time here.

U can find all sorts of things using the road. Cars, trucks, lorries, cows, goats, pigs and humans... There's no law. They cross verticls, horizontal, diagonal and everywhere. The funny thing is that there is almost no accidents.

Roads here are damn busy... Looks here... 4 vehicles using 2 lanes only... But no accidents!!! Pro...

One of the historical sites... Some tomb of some kinda king... Squirells are common here... Super cute! And they're not shy!!! The 7th pic is the entrance to the tomb... eerie...

And now this... one of the 7 wonders of the world.

Weather here is damn hot... Can't express it enough... Got sunburn... When the sun shine on the white marble of the Taj Mahal... You can't even open your eyes to look at it! It's so brilliant! Eyes got very pain...

"Sorry if i stirred up some waves. But besides this way, I don't know how to let you know that I still care." ^^

***************************************************************************

o.O

Well for those of you who are confused about my previous post, I'm not havin am affair or what. I only have Charlotte and Charlotte alone. My previous posts were meant for a sis whom I treasured. I don't have an affair! I don't love (as in love love) someone else!!! I don't have another gf!!!

***************************************************************************

Anyways... Previously the Charlotte kept asking for a trip to Kundasang before I go to India. Tirednya... Drove up and down in a day. Tiring to drive long distance in a day without rest. Anyway it was fun.

Strawberry Garden Resort...

Initially we ordered milkshake. But it was not available. So we tried the ice-cream. I have to say I'm impressed! They're so generous with the strawberries. Taste freakin good too! Only RM 6.00

Love the smooth whipped cream.

But don't be fooled by the bloody red colour. Most of them are actualy quite sour =.=

Bought 2 packs home. RM 8 each.

Saw this gigantic Atlas Moth there... Gave us a fright. So big. Look at the wingspan. It's even larger than the diameter of the dustbin.

Second stop... War Memorial...

o.O

0.O O.o

A map of aust in the mid of the grass. After going there, someone kept buggin me to take bridal photos there in the future =.=

This is my favourite... Looks like some kinda Greek or Roman Empire courtyard.

Caught a poor damselfly

This kena candid. Made me look like some kinda vain freak.

Mesilau....

They got lotsa wild straberries. Don't bother tasting them. Freakin sour. I tried it 3 years ago.

Coming down Mesilau.. brakes got overheated. Had to pull over to the side while waiting for it to cool. The brakes were so useless that even when i slammed on them, the car would stop. Never let your brakes overheat. As soon as I stopped the car, my brakes were smokin white smoke! A lot! I don't know why this camera can't capture smoke. There was actually a lot of smoke!

One tip for driving, when going down a hill, never put the car on free gear and relying on the brakes to stop. IT WON"T WORK! Remember my words. Why? While going down a long descent, brakes will get overheated and lose their effect. Why it loses effect? Well Friction is a inverse proportion to heat. I can't explain it in full here, but trust me. Use 2nd or 3rd gear as the engine will aid in slowing the car down! Some driver lose to put it to free gear saying that it saves fuel. That is crap! How much fuel can you save? Want to save fuel by paying with your life? Remember people. Do not use free gear while going downhill. This is the main cause of hill crashes. When you realise your brakes ain workin, it is too late.

2009-05-23T21:02:00.005+08:00

It has been a while since you know I cared?
The fact is I have always cared.
Maybe I suck at showing,
That made us today, tearing.

Why have I denied you in the very beginning?
Maybe because too much mistakes repeating.
And I felt that me, you were avoiding.
But hey, I told you that now I've realised,
I couldn't forsake you from my life.

No matter how hard I tried, how hard I denied,
I only find out that my efforts got fried.
Time has passed since the first me and you,
But now I realise, I still love you.

"Memories faded, time did not wait"?
What does these mean? I hope it's not too late.
Do you mean that "we're over, let's move on"?
Or do I still have a place, in your heart to hang on?
Are we like done for good? I hope not.
But if it has to be, tell me please...

I never blame you for making mistakes. In fact, I'm glad because it build you up to be who you are today. Why I gave up? The reason is because I felt you trying to draw yourself away from me. I thought you were fed up with me. I stopped sharing stuff with me. I just want you to be happy. So slowly I withdrew myself.

Wait a minute... Do you mean to say that I'm wrong? You never avoided me? Seriously please... Have I mistaken? I gave up because I felt you drawing a separating line. Did I get the wrong message? Because I really felt it.

I know you can't please everybody, you have a life to live too. And I want you to live your life.

People change, that's the law of nature. Maybe you want to leave me, but do not forget me.

I lost a sis who never lost her bro...

2009-05-23T01:42:00.023+08:00

Times passed...

I still remembered to days we used to have,

When you were with me,
When you shared with me,

When we were merry.

Times passed...

I don't know what had happened,

Somehow you were farther away from me,

Day by day with increasing velocity,

And I don't even know what's wrong with me.

Times passed...

Still I remembered the times we had,

Our first dinner at the korean restaurant,

I did the birthday games that you want,

We shopped your mum's present with fun.

But today, I don't know what happend to us.

The stories we used to share, not even echoing from the past.

Surely I do miss those times badly,

But in life, these changes are a part.

I boldly accept it, and wrote out this piece of art.

Many times you know, you have messed up your life.

I was hurt for that, little that you know.

Time after time I can only pray in my sorrow,

"God please help my sis from all these woes.

Keep her strong to face the beasts of tomorrow.

Sometimes too often you have messed up your life.

Sometimes you think you're the only one hurting,

I was hurt the same, little that you know.

Little that you know, I too was crying in pain,

Keeping you in my heart, unsure of how long I could sustain.

At once I denied you, casting you away from my life,

For I am hurt that you fall down, over and over again.

I denied confidently "you ain't my sis" forever again,

Just to find out, today it caused me some pain.

Then I realised, I have never really gave up on you, I hope we'll remain.

Maybe I've wronged, maybe I've hurt you,

But remember whatever I do, It's never meant to harm you.

"Can I have another bro?" at once you asked,

Although I declined, you proceeded with a mask.

Little did you know, for me, it was a difficult task.

"No" I said, not meaning to hurt you,

But something I forsee, it was meant to save you.

Sometimes I was hard, sometimes I might be wrong,

But I am only human, to make some things wrong.

And as for us, I don't know what went wrong.

Now you have a brother, my mind is at peace,

At least I know, he is not a rotten piece.

My mind at peace, my soul at rest,

But I sure pray, forever you'll get the best.

May Jesus guide you through life's test.

You have gained a brother, and I, lost a sister,

But in gaining another, you never lost your former.

I once denied you, away from my life,

Just to find out, my life is in strife.

I lost a sis who never lost her bro.

I love you today just as before.

Just some random pics...

2009-05-20T14:30:00.003+08:00

Some montage done by Z3 previously...

Recently the Charlotte and I went to CP and there's a new FOS outlet opened there... Got some really cool apparel that are not expensive AT ALL! Serious bang for the buck

This is what Sunny would really love to hear from a girl. XD

And we thought that Daphne would love a shirt like this... XD

It is finished

2009-05-15T12:06:00.005+08:00

Gosh... Finally everything is over... The work... the stress... the crapz... Finally the thesis is done!!! Wowzers... Just feel so high and satisfied whenever i looked at it... 1 year time of hard work. The fruit of my labour is finally done!

This is the thing that I have to write in order to graduate! Never knew i would achieve 96 pages. Never knew I would produce a well done thesis! ~.^ Sorry ah... A bit of self praise... Its hard work bah! But all glory to God!

Anyways... Not exactly everything is over. I'll be going for training soon. This is another thing that makes me worry. I'll be going to India for two and a half months. YES YOU READ IT CORRECTLY! Why out so many people that i told thinks that I am bullshitting them? Im not okay! Well, the story is like this...

Initially i applied for Sandakan in one of the biggest companies and by God's grace, I was accepted. The reason why I applied for Sandakan is because God have an important mission for me there (mission details will only be revealed after completed). And as I applied, everything went smoothly. It was sort of a confirmation.

Then this lecturer of mine offered me to go to one of the best university in China with everything paid for. So i was very troubled. China is a very good place to study and the experience would be priceless. But initially I rejected it because I though I needed to put God's plan first. Then after consulting my leader, Jonathan, He advised me to go overseas since it is a good experience. He also told me that God did not give me a specific time for the mission in sandakan. I was very worried indeed. Worried that I might be disobeying God. Worried that the mission will expire... Anyways... Because my leader said, I will go! I thought will fulfill the mission after the trip.

But when I return to accept the offer. IT WAS FULL! The lecturer said now he can only offered me India... Since Jonathan encouraged me to go overseas for a while, I accepted it anyways... Since everything is paid for. I guess it will be a wonderful experience too as the place I would be going is a very good university. I am just worried and I hope I don't make the wrong decision. So fan...

"God, if this is not Your will for me please stop me before I go. Do not let me go. I am not good at hearing your voice yet. I can't make descernment to whether you want me to go to India or not. Please stop me by Your power if it is not Your will. I surrender this matter to You. Sorry for your servant's weakness. In Jesus name, Amen"

Anyways, wherever I go, I would be missing my cellgroup D2, my care group Z3, Discovery Club, Glory Kids and everyone else. And btw, I'll have a last supper with Z3!

Let the killing begin

2009-04-24T19:33:00.003+08:00

Super busy these few weeks... Thesis, deadlines, VIVA, exams, writings writings and more writings... No post... XD... Will be back after the war!!! Gotta defeat the EVIL Malaysian education system!

The art of crucifixion

2009-04-05T19:47:00.013+08:00

Crucifiction is one of the most excrutiating death. In fact, the word "excrutiating" came from crucifiction. This death is designed specially by the romans to create a delayed, intensely painful death. It is not as simple as nailing one to a cross. The whole process starts by the convict being scourged a.k.a flagellated. The process of scourging is not of a few tight whips that will bruise the person. But a continually whipping process with specially engineered tools that is designed to maximise pain and damage.

One of the most famous whips during the Roman reign is the Cat O' Nine Tails. This is a leather whip where its end is split into nine individual strips resembling a cat's tail. At the end of each strip is a metal hook. Roman soldiers are specially trained to whip in such a way, in such timing (whip and pullback) that it actually tears the victim's skin, flesh and even bones away. Variations exist where the hooks are substituted with dried animals bones, claws, and broken glass. You name it. They are the experts in torture.

The Cat o' Nine Tails

The convict is the made to carry his cross on his shoulders already torn from the scourging. A standard cross weighs about 135 kg. Sometimes, the convict is only asked to carry the crossbeam which weighs about 60kg. The cross is of course not some nice polished surfaced wood. It is normally a chopped tree so that the rough trunk would rub against the torn shoulder flesh thus increasing its pain. The whipping goes on even when the cross is being carried until the place of crucifixion.

For Jesus, He is a special case... They even made him a tight crown of thorns... Yes it is tight. So it was forced down unto his forehead.

Nailing take place once the convict reach the place of execution. The standard nails used for crucifixion is 6 inch. These nails are drive into the palms or wrist of the convict as well as the legs. In some cruxifixion, the private genitals are nailed to the cross beam. Some theories of crucifixion had the convict's hands tied to the cross thus providing extra support. This however is minimal and a big part of the body weight is on the nailed hands.

The death in a crucifixion take anywhere from few hours to a few days depending on the technique used and the person's health. Death is caused by several factors. Suffocation is one. With both hands nailed and the body hung down from it, the lungs are crushed and air is deprived from entering it. Everytime the crucified person wants to breathe, he has to lift his whole body weight supported by his nailed hands to do so. Once the person is exhausted and could not lift himself, he dies of suffocation. Another is through shock by the mass loss of blood.

Another variat of crucifixion. Straight pole.

I would like to give more details but this post is lagging... Guess I'll have to stop here. Everytime I watch this, I wana cry... This is what easter is all about... The things he went through... He actually went through all that for you and me... Just click the play button alright... Please...

2009-04-01T02:37:00.004+08:00

The past few days I had seen the most ridiculously EVIL enormous amount of stress and work in my life... My thesis deadline is on the 12th of April... And yet we still ahve so many assignement... This si all due to stupid inconsiderate lecturers who have no brains, heart nor compassion. They think they are the only one giving assignments. Not all actually... Only one or two of them. To them, work is oxygen.

Knowing that we are final year students and we have a lot of work to do, they should be considerate. Give less work la.. They won't get less pay. It seems that they were born to torture students. Thesis is super important above nay work. It is the treasure of every student. It is your our own experiment. Our own project. Our own findings and discovery. Most of students time must be put into doing thesis if they would to produce a high quality one. But thanks to these heartless beings, most students can only take thesis as an ordinary assignment of no special value. Quality is definitely not there. What to do? I am terribly in regret that i really don't have time to put into my thesis although i want to so badly. Sigh~ Don't know what grade will I get for it.

To make things worse... most of the members in my assignment group are stupid and incompetent. It's always lousy english, cheap content, plagiarism and similar shit. Being the leader, I have to edit edit edit correct correct correct so much that it is almost re-writing it. Most of the time, it is so bad that I re-write the whole thing. After doing that, i would normally feel so tired and helpless because it is no easy shit to do. When I do not have the time to edit all for them, I have to suffer the samw shit marks that they get. Sometimes i wonder if those stupid creatures have mothers. I think no.

Trip to Labuan 2009... The Land of Rot...

2009-03-22T23:00:00.015+08:00

15th March 2009... One of our lecturers brought us to Labuan for a study trip... Damn... I can't comment much on the trip... Lest he read my blog!!! But you'll know my feelings and joy from the pictures...

Tht was my first time there... I've been eharing lotsa great stuff in Labuan so was very exited... Once we reached, I saw this HUGE silver and glass building called the "Financial Park". Basically its where u blow ur money... And then this super nice Hotel....

Dorsett Hotel

My first impression was WOW + OMG = WOWMG!!! What a nice modern developed city this is!!! This is it man... Be ready to take my cash!!! It all started when I entered the Financial Park...

Shit it... It looked more like a flintstone age public toilet. It's not modern at all... Not enough lights. No brands for sale... Maybe china or labuan brands. The most high class restaurant is KFC and they design is like a KFC 20 years ago from kk. Financial Park my ***.

This was the best food i could find at the food court. A plain dry pathetic chicken rice. It tasted so good firstly because I was freakin hungry form the mroe than 3 hour journey... Second it's because I've never tasted such plain food in my life and it feels unique to me. And this fried dead bird with very little rice costs me RM4.50. I didn't get full.

Then we retreated to the UMS hostels in labuan.. Man the UMS building there rocks... It's majestic by the seaside... And look at the lecture rooms... It's like so much newer and nicer than KK's one...

Man... Labuan has nothing but beautiful coast... Look at the sunset at 6... Think of being there with your Mr/Mrs right having your arms around em' with the cool sea wind breezing around you... WooHoo~ This was taken jus outside the Campus building

DREAM ON! The sunset at 6 is as bright as God's face! Heats up ur face like burning coal! The previous photo was edited because I felt so much pity for labuan.

The Majestic UMS by the seaside...

They have cool stalls selling foods in the evening... I got my fav fried chicken ass... Well.. I used to love it... I think its tasty and sexy.

Went out to the town for dinner again... Went to this crowded but unappealing malay food court that looks kinda dirty... Don't know why my friends wanted to go there... Oh... Their chicken wings is so good until I found out that it cost a KL-defeating RM1.90... Stupid.

Was enjoying my Nasi Goreng Kampung when i found an extra source of protein in it. Look closely in the pic. WTH!!! I was so freakin pissed!!! Shit!!! I didn't requested for "ka liau" oso!!! The shop owner was so terribly sorry and didn't charge me for it of course... Stupid shops... Don't ever eat in the malay food court!

Left the shop angry and hungry... I realised that this town has no hope left... The only edible food is fast food... It is even cheaper compared to foods at some places... Bought KFC and ate it when i got back to my room...

The expensive Getha bed that they provide in my semi-D hostel is comfy... But just wait till the mites and scabies bite you... I got damn itchy while lying down in the afternoon... Got so stressed... Luckily someone invented Dettol... Got this from the supermarket and Cast it all over my bed without mercy.

Got this also... HAha... My fav alcohol... Absolut Vanilla... The Absolutely Vanilla flavoured Vodka... Had some of these and beers with friends for a while after I found back my camera that I've lost... Labuan is full of nightmares... Btw alcohol is crappy cheap there... Some beers are cheaper than a bottel of water.

After 2 nights, it's time to go... Hunted around town for breakfast that is edible and affordable by humans and found one... Had fried noodles... RM4.

And because the toilets in the hostels is full fo shit... Mine refused to come out for 2 days... Finally on the third day, me and 2 other friends had to infiltrate this Majestic Hotel, The Grand Dorsett to use their toilet...

Just look at it man... finally a civilised place I found in Labuan.

And the toilets... Oh man... It just came out like it never before... Felt good...

What a name for a liquor...

My favourite alcohol... Absolut Vodka... And just look at all the flavours they have!!!! They don't have that much in KK! Vodka, unlike other heavy alcohol is actually good for health if taken in small amount.

WOW... There Absolut Vodka, Vanilla, Citron, Mandarin, Kurant, Peppar, Apeach, Mango, 100, Ruby, Raspberry... Yummy~

You won't believe that this is Malaysia... The crows at the jetty is like bangladesh. And we waited like that for aobut 45 minutes... I bought 5 Absolut Vanillas and each is so heavy! Bodoh service!

Finally we left that Land of Rot... And I have no regrets at all... I don't ever want to go back there again if not for something important... Don't ever... Take my advice...

They got good chocolates too...

2009-03-19T13:15:00.002+08:00

Listen, you don't have to call me

Although my heart is silent and heavy with burden

It's hard because I can't say this love will not be fulfilled

My mouth and heart is locked tightly

Look, you don't have to say another word

I'm afraid I will hurt you for the rest of your life

All I can do is be thankful that I met you

But I gave you too many sorrows

I rather not hold you and grow old with you

I'm letting you go find another while you stay in my heart

If you happen to find someone better than me

I will wish you both happiness from a safe distance

Even if I might not be able to say it out loud

Speak, there are just too many words I want to say

But I have to leave and say goodbye

To lose myself in this big ocean sky

I only need you to stay as pure as snow

Ugh~ Haven't blog for an awfully long time...

Saturday, 7 March 2009

Finally after swimming in a hell called UMS for 4 semesters, I managed to get into Deans List!!! Well... For a start, it is awfully terribly hard to achieve 3.5 pointers and above. Of course, one needs the brains and determination. But I think in a biased gov uni with no transparency, that's just not enough. You'll also need luck, good relationship with lecturers, the ability to comfort ppl's balls and the right race (most of the time). That's the ugly fact. The thing about me is I don't depend on luck, have good relationship with lecturer whom i respect only, do not comfort ppl's balls nor brush their shoes and I don't really have the right race. On top of that, I'm not exceedingly bright nor stupid. Brains I have quite a lot though when compared to many others... Determination? I was full of it in the first 3 semesters until i gave up aiming for high marks n the fourth after seeing my super efforts wasted in 3 sems.

Really... I've tried so damn hard for 3 semesters. I just don't know why can't i get it. It's very frustrating actually... At the end of every sem when I collect my results, I seem to be quite sure that I can achieve it... But no... Not once... Just when I gave up in the fourth sem and when i didn't really try hard, when I wasn't serious, Bingo! Stupid world... Shit it...

I still can't get over my first 3 sems actually... The wasted hard work... Everytime when i looked at the results, I always am sure that somehting is fishy with the marks and that it isn't really fair. The more I think, the more i'm sure that students are not evaluated justly. There are subjects where it is just impossible for me not to get an A. One example, English Literature. I got a B while somebody whom I'm sure wouldn't get an A got it. That person doesn't speak english, he speaks inhuman english when he needs to. My primary language is english. I speak it all the time with little or no grammar defect at all. Plus.. I love eng literature and I spend time reading and studying it! WTH? Tell me... Is there a logic? This is just one subject to tell.. There are many more... I just don't understand the marking scheme... If i can bet my life, I will do it on all of the subjects that I'm sure i can get an A.

Anyway... here are the pictures of the awards dinner that I finally could attend and get my Dean's Award... This award are for those whose score is 3.5 and above. This year... In Sutera... Enjoy...

Pacific Sutera Ballroom

Of course... I brought the Charlotte

Surprisingly, the food was good... This is the first time I tasted good food in sutera banquets

First dish... 3 dish combo. Fried crab claw meat, seafood rolls and cold sweet & sour jellyfish

Second, Sharks fin my ass... It's just szechuan hot and sour soup. It's nice though. Charlotte was unsatisfied with it. Btw, don't eat sharks fin. It's uncool and classified as animal cruelty.

Third, Fried Chicken... Nice...

Fourth, Thai Fried Fish... My fav of the nite.

Fifth, Broccoli and mushrooms

Sixth, Fired Noodles... Nice!

Dessert, Chilled sea coconut with white fungus and dried longan. Yucky coz it's not chilled at all!!! Boo!

Sherwynn a.k.a Lao Bu... She pretty rite?

Most helpful lecturer according to me. Dr Piakong. But also gives the most work to us...

The guy i admire and respect a lot. Prof Dr Mohd Harun. Dean of the School of Science and Technology. I just respect his level of achievement, commitment and pride for his job!

This is the moment I could't get when working like a cow and horse for 3 sems. But got it at the fourth sem when I was lazy and not serious.

Haha.. Our awards...

Tada!!!

This is the handsome young photographer who helped us took all the nice shots with his Canon SLR!!! Calvin Goh!!! If any of you need some shots and when Mel is busy, call me. I'll get you to him!!! No regrets!!!

Sorry for the long complaint... For those who tool time reading it, thank you...

Obey ur Mum...

2009-03-02T23:05:00.006+08:00

As a youth leader and a son of my own mum, i will always give one advice... Love your mum... Obey her... Watch the following video... It's very touching... It shows the heart of a mum... At times, we disobeyed, talked back, maybe even hated when out mum told us to do something... Please watch it. Please just once... Watch if you love your mum... Wait for the loading to complete and then watch it. Don't watch it while loading. After watching this video, I guranttee u that you will be in tears everytime your mum talks to you... Thank you...

Sorry for typing error... I meant "laughing" in tears...

=)

2009-03-02T00:33:00.016+08:00

Haha... To clear off some blog debts... Here are some late post... Valentines dinner in... Not so romantic... haha.. But its nice...

Fukurou...

mouth watering takoyaki for an opening... the tako sold here is diff from all other places i've eaten. It's crispy on the outside and soft in the inside... So addictive ooo....

Nice garlic rice each...

Seafood tofu...

Fried chicken...

28 feb, 2009... Saturday... 3pm

Err... this is not some food from here... But my cousin bought this from giant lol... it attracted her coz of the lip design at the back on the panty... But the photo was taken on New York New York's table though...

Don get this... Hot chocolate... It's their recomended drink... Yuck! It says in the menu "rich". But it turned out to be too milky... Too little choc taste

Get lemonade instead.

Cheesy french fries... Too little cheese...

This is the must have!!! The roasted chicken... Whole chicken cost bout 24 if i'm not wrong... Jusy 4 bucks extra from the half chicken... 3 of us shared this birdie... It doesn't taste exotic, but its nice just like a regular roast.

Mmm... Comes with vedges too...

At nite... went to Altitude Pub to celeb my dear cousin's belated b'day... So sorry i forgot bout her b'day the previous day and didn't attend... The feeling sucks... She even bought me a whackass dinner at little italy after me forgetting bout her b'day T.T damn guilty... Love this pub coz it's kinda bright... Not dark and fishy...

Haha... I don really like the taste of beer... It's just acceptable tome... But love the fellowship and the stuff that we talked about... NO SMOKING!!!

After everything... I found some of these scences when i was about to enter my car... Drivers who drive big cars but have small brains... Stupid... Hate those ppl... Totally unconsiderate... Look at that... Other ppl won't be able to park... No wonder it took me about 10 mins just to find one parking... Peanut brain...

Budu...

_______________________________________

I must thank Eva the tickler for giving me this song... Man it's sooo rock!!! Hear their voices... so power!!! I've been looking for this for months but couldn't find it... My cousin and her bf actually sang this at Altitude pub...

AGGGRH!!!

2009-02-24T19:58:00.006+08:00

AH shit... so bz nowadays... Can hardly post interesting stuff... Uni got so many stupid work to do... Currently trying to finish a rubbish assignment... As in literaly rubbish... It is a subject where we study bout rubbish and how to manage it. About 3 weeks ago we had a fieldtrip to the local landfill which is where all the household waste in kk end up in... Man the view was good. The smell is even better... NOT!!! And now gotta rush a stupid 10 page report in that fieldtrip. Plus now in my final year... I have my thesis to do... And to make things worse, there's a short-lived future cancer patient who wants me to redo the whole thing in one of my major assignments. That whole thing means about 40 pages. I have to completely redo. That person is born out of an oxidation pond and he grew up eating activated sludge. ARRRGH!!! So busy...

Tmr got exam again... Plus... I have to got to do GIS assignment, lead the entrepreneurship assignment group. Leading a assignment group in uni means editng and almost redoing some ppl's shitty quality work. those ppl are also short lived. they either copy paste everything from internet for u (which is illegal in uni) or give youy some disposable quality work. The english sux. The contents comes from their gay ass. Leading a group means almost redoing everything plus doing your own part as well... The other option is just to ignore it and get some very negligible marks.

Government uni sux. Sometimes, they pair u up with another partner or group and you have no rights to change. Do I owe them a shit? Why do i need to pair up with those lazy or stupid ppl who give shit quality assignements? It's not like I killed their mother. This is the main reason why sometimes top students get sucky marks. It's not their fault. It's just other low-quality non-performing LAZY students who pull their marks down. To hell with them and the stupid system. i have been victimised many times by this.

I sound mean? Some lecturers who ate shit growing up always say "jgn kedekut ilmu ba". Bodoh... Their intention of pairing up those lousy student with the good ones is so that the good ones can help the lousy ones... Why they care so much bout those student? It's because %*)%^(#(@! Bingo! I can'tsay it here or i'll be detained under ISA. If u wna know, come and ask me when u see me. Is it my fault that they are stupid and slow? It's all in the genes...

I sound mean? I don't mind to help those who are poor or slow...In fact I'm very willing. But... The one whom i am against the most is those who are LAZY!!! Damn it. Slow students can learn as long as there is determination, diligence, willpower! But it is those lazy people who refuse to work, give you rubbish work and expect you to correct it, and those whom make use of you that get on my nerves... They should all die early... Leave some space for more usefull people on earth to live. They are so useless... At least if they die, they still have one last use. That is they can return some nutrients to the soil.

Stop Animation!!!!

2009-02-19T01:29:00.002+08:00

Lol... Check this out... Recently Alvin showd me what is known as "stop animation" or clay animation. Why they call it that? It's becoz of the way they made the aniamtion... They have to tkae a picture, then stop the video. Then move a bit, and take the picture again... When they have enough pictures and they play it fast, it will look like a movement or a movie. A very painfully hard job...
Check this out... Its about 2 guys who are so hungry that they eat up everything... The animation is not that smooth becoz like i said earlier, its made up of many still pictures.

To: Eva TAN!!!!!!!!
My com spoil ba!!!! Wait ba!!!!!

So many post... So little Time...

2009-01-19T01:15:00.051+08:00

I have so much to post... but yet so little time... Everytime I say I blog it the next time, there's just more and more things that pop out in my life that is worth blogging... And in the end, more unblogged stuff will get accumulated... And I'm in serious debt... Now, I'm gonna spit it out fast and brief... I'm clearing the debt... Please... So I'm gonna type as little as possible... Just pust as much pictures and let it do the talking... The following are the stuff i did, the food i ate and the things i see in the 'not so long ago' past... Latest should be around mid of dec? Shit I'm still talking too much!!!

Black Passion...

The following are the chocolates that i ate from dec till early jan... No choice... I got bombarded by them... But I love it =)

Bittersweet Chocolate Noir from Switzerland and Kringler from Denmark. The Noir taste like Toblerone with some crunchy honey bits in it... Kringler milk choc is kinda common... But both of them are smooth... 3/5 for meltability, 4/5 for body and 3.5/5 for flavour...

Beryl's... They're local. But they're not afraid to admit they're locality. Coz once u tasted it, you won't believe that it is made in Malaysia. But yea... U get the foreign taste... Another smooth chocolate but its a bit more solid difficult to melt and thus last longer in your mouth. The taste (body and flavour) are both strong... 3/5 for meltability, 5/5 for body and 3/5 for flavour. Given by Ms Qai-li...

One of my fav... Belgian... It has always been reknown for its smoothness and for fancy fillings... Although this was kinda budget compared to other Belgian, I give it 4/5 for the meltability, 4/5 for the body and 4/5 for flavour. I love the filling of this chocolate. The smooth hazelnut cream in the centre will blow you off your feet. This was given by Charlotte... Truely a Belgian...

This... Is my least preffered one... I know it's makes ppl crazy nowadays, but not for me... 4/5 for meltability, 4/5 for body and 2/5 for flavour. Why i do nto prefer hershey.. I think the taste is too focused on the sweet-toothed. It is just too sweet sometimes. Especially the tooth-rottening cookies and cream. It lacks that chocolatey taste (couldn't find the word) but instead covers up the flaw with sugar sugar sugar... Despite that, I still enjoy it though... I don't hate it... Given by my beloved cousin...

Lindt... This is the OMG choc... Swiss choc are always the best. Know why? The most important element in choc making is the milk... Where u have good cows, u have good choc. Lindt has always been one of my favourite chocs. It is so good, that when you pop it in your mouth, it melts almost immediately releasing the whole flavour!!! What a chocolate!!! No fancy fillings. No gimmicks! Just the flavour that is more than your tongue can sense. Even so, it doesn't release a mixture of flavours. It is just one clear distinct sweetness and the milky scent. So distinguishable and detectable by the tongue... It scored a whopping 5/5 for meltability, 4/5 for body and 5/5 for flavour. Christmas present by the Sam!!!

Aileisi... What the? The Ferrero rocher wannabe. Well it is cheap chocolate. I don't wish to rate it. Some1 gave it to my mum and i tried it...

Verdict... Get Belgian and Lindt!!!

Old Town...

Was bored one day... So I victimised my friend, Chiu Chii and forced him to follow me to Old Town, 1B. They sell some real good stuff here in Old Town... Should try it if u haven't!!!

They call it they're signature "Ice and Fire Polo Bun". The thick clice of butter in the middle is just too much fun! Nice for butter lovers like me...

My Curry Puffs. I'm stunned by the puny size once it arrived. But the flavour is no where near its size...

My least preffered butter and kaya toast... I just got a bit sick of Kaya...

Iced milk tea

The signature Old Town White Coffee

Gourmet...

And there were a few days where i got so stressed up with work and fed up with my usual home food that i cooked some nasty stuff to satisfy the lust of my tongue...

Fried roti canai. Just buy roti canai at the shop, go home and fry it with egg, meat and other stuff like your frying rice... In India, they call it Kutu-Prata.

Macaroni and Cheese...

Baked Rice with sausages and cheese. You gotta try to make this youself. The taste will kick your ass. Not that I'm pro at making it, but its the combination of the stuff that makes it good.

Herb and Cheese Omelette.

Cookie Monstering...
It's CNY again and as usual, my mum the bakester will bake cookies to sell and to give away some... Muahaha... I really thinks her cakes and pastries are like better than coffee bean's... No, really...

My favourite cookie... Chocolate chips!!!

Almond butter cookies...

Nice Foodstuff...

Here are some nice foods to eat... Quite recent...

When you come to Kingfisher, Just be sure to drop by A Foo vegetarian restaurant. You may say "nah... I'm not the healthy kind. Not really a fan of green... blah...". But hey u don't understand... Just go... He makes this meatless meal taste like meat!!! And sometimes even better than meat!!! I'm not cheating you... Whatever meat you've eaten, the Chef, A Foo can make it out for you! You name it... Roasted goose, Butter prawns, Chicken, Abalone... Believe me, The Boss is my friend and my ex-Boss. Yeah I've worked here before...

From A Foo... Try guess what is this? Ha? Wrong! It's vegetarian Babilap!!! BABILAP!!! BABILAP!!! When I was talking to him bout babilap casually, he asked me what is that? So I described to him and he went into the kitchen... Out came this dish!!! It's not extremely similar to the real babilap. But it is good. Trust me... The flavour is good!

Cha Jiang Mian from Tai Meng...

This was intro-ed by Charlotte. Buah Kedundung Juice if I got it correctly. I don't know what fruit is this but it is so refreshing!!! Sweet and a pinch of sourness...

Cordon Bleu...

Alvin is back from Aust and with this guy, you'll never go hungry... He has been insisting to cook for me ever since... And i tell u... this guy is as petty as a gourmet chef... He goes down even to the smallest detail about his ingredients... All must be accurate... The types, species, maturity, colour... The result is... Excellence! What a blessing to have this dear friend... Not for the food, but he's such a giant in the Kingdom of God! Presenting...

The coffee that he drinks... He is so petty, that he said nescafe is rubbish... All instant commercialised foods are rubbish as you don't get the full flavour... It's true anyway... Lavazza Italian coffee from australia... To make this coffee, you even need a special high-tech device (at least to me, it is).

You put the powder in here, and some water at the base.

Then you seal the top with this dispenser cum collector.

Put it to the boil and the coffee will brew itself out at the top like this...

A closer look...
And the flavour of the coffee is erm... Mindblowing... Its better than any coffee bean, any starbucks... The aroma itself kills...

Then some time in Dec, he said he wanted to make me risotto (italian rice). Just look at the salt and oil that he uses... Such good quality for a home made meal... You can imagine the taste of the end product...

I use Olive oil at home. But it's not as good as his Viva. Sold in Aust. Not here... He let me have a sip of it and immediately the difference is clear. The colour, aroma and taste is just top-notch... It has a very strong nutty-fruity scent.

We had no meat... Just a vegetarian (onion and springonion) risotto. It's freakin nice still.. Supposed to be Onion and Leek rissoto.. But i got him the wrong ingredients.... Noob...

Done... Yeah it looks plain rite? Coz its without garnishing... But it taste good!

Just last nite, he called me to his house... He said he wanted to make me pasta and I waas like "great!". When I was there, he wanted to literally make pasta. Not cook up a paste for me... Make. The dough. I went %$^*)Q@E*!!!! Why all the trouble and fuss just for a meal? As usual, he said instant stuff are rubbish.. San Remo is crap and stuff like that... So okay.. This was the expensive flour he used...

Mix in one egg and some water and knead it into a dough... Then thin it with this dough roller... Then slice it into strips...

Fry it with garlic and onions and TAda!!! Not nice? Yeah... Just the look becoz it's without garnishing...

Then he fed me with this... Bailey's Irish cream... It's sort of a whiskey...

Just pour it on vanila ice cream... WooHoo... Don't get drunk...

I was cheated... by Martha Stewart...

I tried to make pates the fruit which is a kind of err... Fruit jelly or candy... She gave a new recipe in one of her episodes which is kinda weird... No gelling agent used to make the sweet hard... I was curious about it so I tried... It failed!!! I couldn't solidify!!! Arrrgh!!! It turned out to be an apple brandy treacle instead!!!

Green apples...

I needed brandy... I told my dad and he opened a cupboard full of alcohol and asked "which brandy do you want?" I was stunner for a moment... I didn't know we store that much liqeur in the house...

I chose the Martell VSOP Medallion...

Steaming the apples and brandy... Then blend it.. Then cook it in sugar until it is thick... Then let it cool and it will be hard like a sweet.. Bullshit... I won't be hard... Not without gelling agent...

Babilap... Babi-Lap?

2009-01-11T20:05:00.024+08:00

Top 9 is the name... I've eaten there times this week in 2 days alone. Recently I've been told by a friend about a strange food there called babilap. WTH? Babilap. I've always known that place as Charlotte brought me there a few times and I have always love that place becoz they sell good food and it is so cheap! Really! But this babilap thing really did disturbed my soul as i hear Fai mentioned it countless times in class. He called a few of us friends to try it out on friday nite. But due to my toot curiousity, I took Charlotte to try it out with me on friday afternoon... We ordered 2 dish, Babi-Lap and Some fried vegetables to have with our rice. I've estimated it to be at least RM15 or so. But it turned out to be a mere RM12. Bonus! And babilap was lovely!!! So that nite, we and a bunch of friends that Fai dated earlier went there again for dinner. He was kinda pissed that I've already tried it in the afternoon... Lol... Anyway, These were some of our food...

Sweet and sour chicken

Mixed vegetables

The heavenly Babilap

People who know me well know that i love fats... And these fatty bits of babilap really sets my mood rite...

Soy Sauce Fried Fish

Saturday... Crazy day... Me, Fern and Fai left at 6 am to Poring, Ranau to do some stupid field work. Fai actually finished his work there. So kind of him to accompany us. Anyways... I am really glad that everything turned out fine this time. Did some sampling at Poring's Hot spring outlet. It's really hard to work at gov related departments. Those ppl's attitude and bureaucracy drive me mad... I've been up there for at least 3 times in vain and return only to be tired and angry... Bla bla bla... U have to write letter, fill in the forms, submot this and that... Shits... But honestly, Sabah Parks and Poring is very good compared to other departments. the staff are courteous and friendly although the bureaucracy remains. Just a bit of intro... I am doing a research on Poring Hot Spring's water to determine the geochemical related elements in the water. This will be used to calculate the reservoirs's temperatures. This is my final year project. May God bless it.

This is one of the original outlet of the spring

This is a type of fungus that live in the hot water... Looks like worms... Its impressive how they can live in these steamin hot waters.

Another outlet... Steamin hot...

One of the guys who were watching us quietly...

Treated ourselves with a cold coconut after that. The GPS that we used...

And oh yea... How can i forgot to report the food...
After we've left Kingfisher, we stopped by Tamparuli to have some breakfast before going up... We went to this old shop where i use to eat the past few times when i am in Tamparuli. It feels like We've been chronosphered back some decades to some post Japanese war borneo...

The shop

My eco noodles... Shocking 80 cents...

This was Fern's fried noodles...

Some of our side dishes...

Fish cake...

Siu Mai

Yong Tau Fu

And this... This was a bonus we didn't ask for. A halved cockroach on the table who's legs are still moving. Good eh?

After the breakfast, everything seems a bit mroe new and colourful

For lunch, we went to one malay restaurant in Ranau which one of my lecturer Idolised. According to him, that is possibly the cleanest restaurant in the whole of Sabah. Its called KOKTAS. Its actually a reastaurant under Sabah Parks. I have to say I'm quite impressed at the cleanliness and presentation. Although the shop is small, old and unappealing, the cleanliness which I am very particular scored 8/10. The food is bloody good too.

My Sambal fried rice

Fai's Fried seafood Meehoon + Kuey teow

Fern's Fried chicken Meehoon

This is Fai trying to seduce the waitress

And one of my fav canned drink

We reach kk at about 4.30 pm and went to UMS lab rite away to preserve our samples. At nite, went to airport to pick my sis who came back form Malacca. For dinner, i forced all of us to go to Top 9 again for Babilap!!! Yeah!~ Rawkzzz~ Its so nice of her to buy me these... To burn the midnite oil...

Eu Yan Sang Essence of Chicken. I love the taste. Taste better than brands... Too bad they don't sell it here.

Ciaoz~ >.~

Christmas to New Year

2009-01-02T20:31:00.026+08:00

Kinda preoccupied and a bit lazy to update the past days... And most of my pictures are stuck up in my friend's cam. So here's the delayed update... Or shall i say, "outdate"... Quite a bunch of fun and crazy things have happened in the past week. Hmm... Where to start? This might not be in chronological order coz i forgot the date...

First... For Christmas... As usual, Christmas in church was fun x 10(to the power of infinity). I just feel that God was so so there... Serious... Any1 reading this who have not been to a church and would like to try, Glory Christian Centre is a good one to visit. I was almost in tears but kinda holding back some becoz first, I successfully brought my parents there and second, I am a "Ahem" Man. But what surprised me was the beginning of the service where the music was unusually slow for GCC's usual trend. Going back to good old anglican eh~. I was kinda sleepy by it... Becoz it was so slow and so smooth and sweet like a lullaby... And the Glory kids Staff Christmas dinner was awesome!

Me and Charlotte

Me and Cindy

Me and Vivian

Me and the Samantha

The ladies gang... Do not mess.

The Songstress of the nite, Regina

Boey...

Kevin Yau

This is Jefferey the mob... I've sold some Christmas drugs to him

And now... The GK Christmas Dinner...

The Sam...

She is disgusted at me.

The best dressed guy of the nite... Tao...

Another one... Chris...

This is the award for the guy who is most exited about food... Jamson!!!

The Good Game Gang... 3 (G power of 3)

Some of us got drunk... and got carried away...

This is Sunny... So?

Second thing that happened was kinda crazy... 29th of december 2008. I suppose to have class in the morning but it was cancled. So me and 2 other friends went for breakfast in lintas May & May Sandwhich House again... Then I made a random statement: "Let's go to Ranau now". So off we went in my friend's brand new full spec Saga... I must say the quality of the car is not bad for RM 40k. I was all cranky about the heat in kk and refused to bring a jacket or sweater up there. We even drop by my house for me to change into a singlet. When we were up in kundasang, it rained. Each drop on my bare choulders threatened to freeze the pee in my bladder.

For new year, one of my friend Alvin who came back from australia wanted to treat me to dinner. But suddenly, his toot company called him to labuan on the 31st of dec!!! So I took another frined of mine to his house to join his family and friends for and bbq and steamboat dinner.

The blue and pink cocktail of the nite. Awesome!!! From belgium it seems...

Wowowow... lamb, pork, fishball, prawnballs, eggs, noodles, chicken, some greens, and the 2 pots of soup! Man the steamboat soup realy kick ass... Its made in Tibet and my friend brought it all d way back form Aust.

After that, countdown at The Loft, Waterfront... Met so many church frineds there. Hyung, Angela, Jovin and Rayson, Victoria... The fireworks this year was rather on a budget.

Our mocktails... My Pina Passion (pineapple) and her Cranberry.

Steve and his drink. Try and guess what is the name of his drink. Let me hint you... What do you use when you are constipated? What? WRONG!!! Screwdriver!!!

bye bye stupid xanga... Hello blogspot!!!

2008-12-25T13:52:00.000+08:00

After few days of being unable to blog due to xanga's excellent service, I have decided to switched to this new domain...

So.. Wassup? The sky is... and some of these too....

Here are some nice foods and some of the nicest places to eat which i have been in the past 2 weeks!!! Check it out...

First... Bella Italia. My fav italian restaurant in town. Yea i know Little Italy is famous. But wait... Look...

Penne Alfredo (Pasta in cream sauce with peas and bacon strips)

Spicy Spaghetti

Seafood Bowties. (Pasta in tomato sauce with garlic and tuna)

Or maybe your own customized pizza? Base is RM14 for this medium size. Each topping cost Rm3. Here i got Sundried tomatoes, seasoned chicken, and bacon.

Even if you are the hardcore vegetarian, there's something for you.

So why do i prefer Bella Italia? Well, first of all in Lil Italy you don't get the top class service of an english butler like what i can get in Bella.

Second, Lil Italy is more like a coffee shop. The staff are friendly, noisy, the place is smoky sometimes and you just don't get these ambience....

Well okay... If you say "I'm not the kind who go for premium feel." I love the taste of Lil Italy. Its okay... Let us go the the third point. You ready? All pastas ans pizzas are half priced if you order between 5 - 7pm. YOU GET IT!!!! DO YOU GET IT???

Which means the average pasta like my fav penne carbonara cost only RM11 when it costs RM22 at other times!!! And for the pizza, the base cost only RM7 and each topping is a ridiculous RM1.50. How bout that? Not convinced about its quality? Try it. You have nothing to lose. The chef is Italian and the quality is the same as Lil Italy if not better.

Next... For breakfast... You gotta try May & May Sandwhich House in Lintas Square. Just beside Hidden Treasure if you get lost.

This cost RM6. There's sausages, ham, egg, beans and toasts. There are many types of combination that you can choose from.

Okay... This is called the company sandwhich. RM6 if i remember correctly.

And you get egg, cheese, ham, chicken meatloaf and some greens in it.

This was mine. The egg, cheese, ham and chicken floss man tou (chinese bun)

Mmm mmm... Let the flavour overflow in your mouth. And its filling too. Around RM4.

And then... Charlotte and I decided to go for a Christmas dinner. Kinda tight this year, so instead of some fancy mega banquet, we just got some ala carte in Hong Kong Recipe.

My healthy spinach noodles with prawn dumplings

Her fried seafood noodles

The Chilli oil...

...on my noodles = awesome!

Good? Good...
