selamat hari raya!

2007-10-14T22:45:00.000-07:00

I wanna wish all my malay friends selamat hari raya! although i think its kinda abit late.. hahaa.. anyhow... i ate alot of malaysian food the first day of hari raya and the food was awesome! i ate chicken satay, rendang, lemang (or should i say pulut, u'll know why later), ikan bakar, nasi impit/ketumpat and many more.. haha. all of the food is mouth watering and i thoroughly enjoy it! about the lemang, i learnt that we cannot make lemang without bamboo.. My fren, fairul tried to make lemang using banana leaves wrapped in aluminium foil but it kinda fail miserably as the "lemang" is as soft as pulut. haha.. we have to scoop it up using a spoon before being able to eat it.. here are some pics...

The lontong

the rendang

satay and fish grilling.. yum yum!

The "lemang" haha...

All the food.. hungry?
After eating, we played an interesting game of UNO. haha.. we made lots of weird rules including draw two if u are cheating (or shud i say made a mistake unintentionally). Had a great time although it took us quite long to finish.. haha..
That's all for the post this time.. i would like to thank all those who have prepared the food and jin soon for "opening his house". hahaha..
till next time.. bye...

blur day...

2007-10-06T23:44:00.000-07:00

today is a really blur day for everyone.. haha.. first, my handphone decided to adjust its time for daylight saving one week after the actual time... so my morning is totally messed up... set up a meeting at 11 but ended up going 1 hour earlier... haiz.. then yi chiann and hui went to gate 1 car park instead of gate 2b car park for the student market.. the student market is disappointing though.. nothing at all... haiz.. lastly.. the worker in the cafeteria filled the sugar container with salt.. haha ever wonder wad nescafe and salt taste like? absolutely awful!! that is how blur everyone is.. haha...
New Zealand and australia are out of the rugby world cup... can fiji upset south africa? i'm waiting to see.. if yes then it is very interesting.. haha..
Next week is the last week of the sem... study break is next next week then the exams!!! fast fast fast... hopefully i can study well... haiz... anyhow... tat's all for this time.. Gambateh for everyone and myself!! haha

time flies!

2007-09-25T03:22:00.000-07:00

Well well well.... cant believe that my first year is almost over... time really flies huh? nothing much happening.. haha.. only tests and tests and more tests... just finished one last night with 3 more coming in the next fortnight. after that is study week and finals! see how fast it is? haiz...
Been watching lots of rugby nowadays since its the world cup. finding it less and less interesting.. no wonder back in malaysia i didnt even bother to look at it.. haha..
Went to buy plane tickets back to malaysia. am going to land in singapore and fly back to kch from JB. cant wait to finish everything and just fly back.. miss malaysian food sooo much! feel like a bowl of laksa now.. =P
Everyone now is busy looking for houses to move in next year.. haha.. guess we all hated the halls alot.. kinda regret choosing the halls at the first place.. didnt eat enough and eat too early.. making me crave for supper very often.. haiz.. but thankfully i still lost weight.. hahaha...
that's all for now.. till next time.. ciao...

trudging on....

2007-09-15T18:24:00.000-07:00

Assignments and tests came and went just like that.. although i'm tired i still trudge on.. thankfully there are days called weekends when i can just relax and slack.. that is my life here nowadays.. nothing much happening but work and tests... next next week another test is coming up.. damn sien.. but still have to move on...
Got myself a PS3 though! super damn fun.. hehe... another stress relief valve for me..
Oh ya.. cooked laksa yesterday.. but i think i used too much prawn products (prawn stock, belacan and prawn meat) until my frens thought they are eating prawn noodles! lol.. anyhow, it was fun to cook larh.. haha...
tat's all for this time.. hopefully something interesting happens next week... kinda bored ady.. will be bored to death if i dont have the PS3.. haha

Merdeka night celebrations

2007-09-05T23:22:00.000-07:00

Its been about two weeks since the celebration.. damn fast man.. haha.. anyhow.. here are some pics from that night....

A pic of the dining hall.. not big but its merry.. =)

Top left:- hazwan and hui ling showcasing the baju melayu and baju kurung.

Top right:- fairul a.k.a Tun and Yi chiann (toh puan) showcasing batik and baju kebaya.

Bottom left:- Jin soon (tan sri) with batik *again*... and megan with cheong sam

Bottom right:- Ying fei and christine in saree..

This is the models of the fashion show tat i had the priviledge to become the MC.. dont all of them look super nice? haha...

This is the whole cast... with the MC included.. i look like some office boy in front of all the VIP right?? haiz.. >.<

Other than the fashion show, there were silat performances, slide presentation and a video presentation from the 4th idiot productions. super nice larh that video.. i got take part in it as well u know..... as Liu Lian Kia! haha... cant imagine leh...

I am also helping out at the kitchen with wei sheng and yi chiann.. pity us loh.. get to look at the food but cant eat until the end.. haha

This photo seems to show tat i am drooling at the drinks... haha.. bad angle!

anyhow.. i really enjoyed that night alot.. learnt alot about event organising as well.. one thing that i found out is... being a kitchen staff is definitely not easy at all!

time flies when u're having fun...

2007-08-31T08:12:00.000-07:00

Aizz.... the holidays almost finish ady... need to go back to uni liaw.. sien arh...

anyhow, it has been quite an eventful fortnight.. i was involved in the merdeka celebration of waikato uni malaysian assoc. (WUMA). That night was awesome.. i got to help out in the kitchen (one of my fav places to be..) haha.. but this was the first time i am involved in such stuff though.. it was sooooo much scramble that it was a miracle that everything turned out ok.. everybody involved in the event was awesome! i also got to be involved in this fashion show.. i was the MC for that event and i talked like a machine gun! i nvr knew i can talk soo fast.. haha.. overall, its exhausting but happy! will upload photos once i've got mood...

Nowadays i'm suddenly into XBOX 360 and the other consoles.. facing a dilemma on wad to buy.. PC, PS3 or XBOX360... can someone help me out here? advice? other than that, most of my holidays are spent lazing around and hanging out with frenz.. although sometimes i feel very bored, but i like it.. i'd rather be sien and have nothing to do than be sien bcoz too much stuff to do.. haiz..

Ok larh. tat's all.. i would like to end this post by wishing u all happy independance day! (still valid in mas time (11pm/31-8-2007) coz here NZ time 3am/1-9-2007 only) ;-P

disappointing world championships...

2007-08-17T18:29:00.000-07:00

haha... from now on i shud remain uninterested in badminton unless the title of the news is... "XXX won the XXX cup for the first time for XX years!!" or something along that line... was expecting a good fight in the world champs but.... chong wei have to loose like that and blame coach pulak for pressure.. now he retracted his comments and blame himself.. wad bullshit is that?! mew choo was amazing though.. i salute her.. hafiz.. haiz.. hopeless... kien kiat - boon heong... disappointed as well.. lost to japanese!!! boon heong arh.. not u again.. be confident man! i saw ur style of play with kien kiat and it is amazing.. keep that up and i am sure u can win alot more.. dont be like other players who had one moment of glory and slumped to the bottom.. that's really disappointing for us fans...
Haha.. talking as if the mas badminton player will read my blog like tat.. but really very disappointed.. thought they could have won something... haiz...
recent days i've been training myself to eat spicy food. haha.. hopefully by the time i finish training my taste buds will be immune to that taste.. haha.. so i can eat laksa without sweating too much.. lol.. speaking of laksa i miss laksa sooooo much... haiz...
anyhow, that's all for this time..

of hor fun and sketches...

2007-08-12T02:45:00.000-07:00

Made hor fun yesterday.. quite fun.. first time doing so and it tastes very very good.. haha.. anyhow.. thanks again Jin Soon for the hospitality.. haha.. i boleh anggap its my own place liaw.. haha...

next week is another test.... adui... feeling tired but have to move on... Gambateh! after that then holidays! for two weeks.. haha...
one last thing... just wanna say sorry to those who had felt scared of me while i was being cold for the past two weeks.. i am just not myself lately, one of the low times i suppose... really sorry bout that... hope i can become wad i used to be when i am happy.. haha..

2007-08-04T20:04:00.000-07:00

tough times

2007-07-28T17:19:00.000-07:00

It has been a very tough week for me.. lots of things had happened and it has tested me emotionally... after that week, i learnt that i must be indifferent to a certain level and dont care bout the pass anymore.. i need to move on.. i shud think more bout myself and give less to others... That is my resolve from now onwards... i just hope that i'll have the strength to follow thru and be a better person to myself... i have had enough and i want to stop it! haiz.. first test coming next week.. damn fast... haiz... need to study hard lorh... haizz.....

Trip Up North

2007-07-03T04:04:00.000-07:00

yoyo.. how are u all?? i've been up north for the first part of my winter break and it has been awesome! The scenery here just takes the breathe away from me.. *Thumbs up* Dunno how many times i exclaimed.. "wah... so beautiful lah!!!" haha.. there's alot to blog about.. but i'll only pick afew nice pics and tell the story short..

Hmmm... The first day, we drove like 4 hours straight to shannel's house, one of my kiwi frens. her place is further north of auckland and i cant seem to remember the name!!! haiz.. We reached there at night so nothing much to do.. one thing to highlight though is my fren's place is quite ulu.. even hot water supply is not unlimited... imagine kena catu air.. like can shower only max 5 minutes for each person or else shower ice cold water.. during winter somemore!!! i think maybe there's ten of us.. so the water heater cant work fast enough.. haha.. we just rested and slept...

One thing i noticed after spending a week up north is its sooo damn cold at night.. wonder how ppl in the south survive.. haha...

The next day, we went to do some hill climbing.. i attempted two hills but can only reach the top of one.. the other one was just tooo damn challenging.. it even has a notice saying... "for experienced hikers only" how the heck am i suppose to climb that sort of hill?? here's some pics to justify myself...

The first hill that we climbed... looks ok eh??

this is the view from top...

This is the second hill... i definitely cant climb that rock.. tried and failed miserably...

Then at night we went to see the glow worms in some cave nearby.. Its nothing special really.. i dont understand why tourist will pay to see these worms.. they're just stagnant, glowing bugs.. couldnt take any pic though coz it was pitch black... anyhow.. we took one super cool photo...cool eh? can be a poster for a thriller movie. hahaha...

Next we went to dawn's place.. its another fren that i knew in NZ but she is a formal malaysian.. her house i tell u even more ulu.. no line at all!! the water also need to pay bill.. first time hear such things in NZ.. usually no need pay de.. and wad's more, got curfew somemore.. after 10 cant shower.. thanks to some ingenious designer who put the doors to the bath room inside bedrooms where we need to kacau ppl's sleep just to get to the loo.. sad case... there's a few interesting things that happened though.. for instance...

the dumb blonde a.k.a Hui ling thought this is a cow!! we definitely had a good laugh out of that.

Speaking of dumb blondes.. we had nicknames on this trip... hui ling is the dumb blonde.. (proven above.. and sometimes she's just soo blur.. haha)

christine was the not-so-dumb-but-still-dumb blonde.

This is how she ordered McD drive thru.. we're suppose to order from the car... drive thru marh... see my point?

yi chiann is more versatile.. can be called a duck (no idea why..), hollow brain (said to lean on someone's shoulder to sleep but the head is like weightless) and sleeping "beauty" ( more like sleeping monster... reason is that she sleeps alot.. haha). No offence ya...

YC's long lost twin.. haha...

Me myself was named cinder-macho (instead of cinderella as i had to return back to the area where i sleep by ten due to curfew, 10PM).

At dawn's place, we travelled up north somemore and reached the northmost tip of new zealand!! the place is called cape reinga and the view was just splendid!! every pic i took was like postcard quality.. too bad my cam is low on battery due to some camwhores *hint hint* haha.. i chose this pic as i liked it the most...

oh yeah.. i had the best fish and chip in my life as well for lunch that day.. i liked the fish alot... its super juicy and there's no fishy taste at all.. amazing.. however.. its quite expensive lorh.. haiz.. the fish was priced according to the weight..

The day when i was suppose to depart for auckland, dawn's mum and step father told me that the house where i stayed for two nights in is haunted! that explained the footsteps that i heard during the night when i was asleep... super damn creepy!!

After the trip to dawn's, i went down to auckland... Met up with Chao Tung and Sarah.. Roger wasnt there as he went to south island for the Malaysian games.. haha.. We all said that Chao Tung grew in height! haha.. but i notice ppl in auckland all dressed up like artic explorers... In fact, auckland is the warmest location i've been to in NZ! haha.. super weird larh..

Chao Tung, Michael (CT's new best fren, number one student in NZ eh.. dont play play), and me...

I got back on the 30th of june and have been facing the com most of the time since.. and now only i found the mood to blog.. haha..

Its been fun travelling the northern region of auckland.. Although the driving was like crazy (230 bucks spend on fuel for the whole trip!!), i still enjoyed it alot.. i wanna thank all the host (dawn and shannel) that have let us stayed at their place.. saved alot of money lor.. You ppl have been awesome!! i wanna say thanks to ashley as well for using her car and bring us here and there and everywhere! haha.. Ashley's leaving to Singapore the next day.. kinda sad coz she had been an awesome fren.. Hope we do keep in touch thru MSN and hope to see ya in Singapore or Mas by the end of the year.. till then.. take care!!

wad we ate that day... bubur jagung and chicken rice! damn nice i tell u...

After that, they played monopoly with credit cards and no more paper money needed.. damn cool.. haha... after monopoly we played mafia.. remember the game where we kinda "sleep" and mafias have to kill ppl? haha.. had great fun in that game.. and i learnt that laughing too loud is a crime also.. haha...

Yesterday i went to play badminton and basketball.. at first was playing basketball but later i joined the others to play badminton.. haha.. makes me think of the old days when i would play badminton with my gang of frens back in kuching... Really miss those days larh!

Then the highlight today is steamboat! ahaha... will post the pics hopefully in the next few days larh.. haha..

Last but not least.. i would like to say thanks alot to the WUMA club vice president, JIN SOON, for letting us have fun in his house and i apologise for all the lost rest and tiredness that u have to endure.. you've been awesome!!!

Thanks alot everyone!

good ppl = poor ppl

2007-06-08T03:32:00.000-07:00

Today, i saw something that went against my good nature... at the dining hall, there were two guys that queued in front of me. when they were taking food, one of them purposely dropped his dinner swipe card and the other one just kicked it under the counter. then he asked the girl at the counter to pick it up for them... while the girl stooped to take the card, one of the guys swiped two more sausages from the counter without her noticing.. that is like soo mean.. its just like they're picking on her or something.. I guess she's a nice person and a new server, that's why they dared to pick on her.. haiz.. i wished they would have picked on the other server who's like a bitch.. haiz.. well.. the good ppl are the ones who always kena pick on.. i know that situation just too well.. sad case...

Well.. it's almost the end of study week ady... i cant seem to focus on my studying unless i'm in the library.. sien sien sien... how arh... hopefully the next two days i can start to cram notes and stuff into my brain if it is not saturated ady... haiz... i really do hope everything ends faster.... haiz.... sien sien sien....

2007-06-05T02:24:00.000-07:00

We raced our boat yesterday.. pretty disappointing though coz both my group's boats didnt even cross the finish line although both were given two races each... the stupid steering system screwed up totally.. haiz... one month of hard work and see wad happened.... adui.. there were some funny scenes though.. for example one of the boat capsized but it can still be steered around! soo funny.. we spurred the team to finish the race with the boat capsized but they didnt do so.. haha.. here are some pictures...

The design of one of our group's boats.

Some photo of the surroundings..

The starting of a race..

The day before the race we had a dinner also.. its a hall event and its called mid winter christmas dinner.. its kinda weird to have christmas dinner in May i know but wad to do... haha.. i had the best tasting ham i've ever had during this dinner.. the other food were just normal lorh.. here's some pic

We're suppose to bring a 2-dollar-minimum gift for the gift exchange during the dinner.. and this is wad one of my fren gave.. a two dollar coin in a ring box.. smart eh? haha...

That's all for this time.. tata....

The leftover bones on the left is christine's while the bones on the right is mine.. wahseh.. she eat sooo much.. first time see arh.. haha scary man considering our size difference...

This is the pic of everyone showing their "Malaysia Boleh!" spirit.. quite embarassing.. haha..

after the dinner, i went to have a drink with some WUMA (waikato university malaysian association) people. Had lots of fun though... with our senior getting crazy on sugar rush.. thats abit scary considering she's a serious person when i see her in college hall...

i ordered this drink.. looks nice huh the design?

Here's another beautiful drink...

Makes me wonder are they selling art or drinks??

Then today is the first time i saw frost on the field.. it was damn cold man.. reached the negatives(-0.3 degree celcius) for the first time since i'm here..

The pics arent that clear but u can see vaguely the frost on the grass.. its the white stuff in the shade..

Today i also dissected a cow's eye. it was quite fun though. i played with the jelly and lens of the eyes.. hehe.. nice..

dont u feel like the eye's looking at u accusingly shouting " what have i done to deserve this??!!" haha...

before... after.. (see the transparent ball there? thats the lens)

Last but not least, this is for Chao tung who asked me bout the flowers here.. here's a sample.. quite nice huh...

well.. i gtg ady.. have to study! haizz... til next time...

This is suppose to be a scene from autumn but in already winter.. so cacat de... haha...

Yesterday me and my engineering group people have just finished our two boats! haha.. so proud of the team. I dont think i did much useful work though coz me not mahir with the tools. haiz.. anyways, still feel damn good. here are a couple of photos..

It looks white now but we're going to paint it next week and race it. just hope that our boat will not sink larh.. haha..

Bloody lab..

2007-05-22T00:31:00.000-07:00

Had my bio lab today.. we dissected a heart of the sheep.. mine was bloodier than the others.. yuck.. and in the lab, i kinda screw up alot coz i kept cutting apart the parts that i was suppose to notice.. haiz... then we also cut open a locus to see its air sacs.. oh ya.. we also got to see live chicken embryos.. the heart was still beating when we were shown to it.. poor thing.. something like abortion eh? Next week its cow eye balls.. wonder wad that will look like.. haha..

Tests coming soon as well... chemistry this thursday night while maths next thursday.. the exams are also around the corner.. aduh... sad case... have to study hard soon... haha...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fhaha%2Enu%2F

That's all... cheers!

Balloon Bomb!!!

2007-05-19T02:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday i had the most interesting chemistry lecture.. The lecturer walked into the hall with two balloons and he tied it to something and let it float while he lectured.. i thought he brought the balloons just for fun until he asked the whole room whose birthday it was that day.. nobody admitted so a guy just volunteered. the lecturer gave him a candle on a stick that he lighted.. i was sooo blur as to wad was happening until this guy poked the candle at the balloon and "BOOOM!!" the balloon exploded into a flame ball and disintegrated!!! i was sooo shocked that time and the whole hall was just quiet in shocked silence.. then the guy poked the other balloon and it exploded as well.. later the lecturer explained that the balloon was filled with hydrogen and bla bla... i thought that was a really cool way to spice up the lectures.. haha.. wonder if malaysian secondary schools will have such fun teaching methods.. =P

Another thing was this bus ticket website. Its like watching the stock market when i tried to book the ticket and u know why?? the bus ticket prices keep changing like everytime i clicked refresh!! it changed from 1 dollar to 9 dollar to 19 dollars in just 5 minutes time!! so funny eh? then i spend about 30 mins refreshing the website to get the 1 dollar ticket but the time i wanted stayed at 19 bucks while the others fluctuated like crazy!! its just amazing eh how kiwis think... in the end i have to settle for the 9 dollar ticket.. haha...

bio lab very smelly!!!!

2007-05-15T04:55:00.000-07:00

Today we dissected a fish called perch... the first thing i notice when i entered lab today is something smells fishy and guess wad... there're fishes on trays for each of us to cut open.. Its super duper smelly man... cant tahan the smell... even use gloves also feel very yucky... yikes.. here are some photoes...

Notice something in the second photo? there's a smaller fish that i had extracted from the big fish's stomach.. half-digested fish... yuck! its like the whole body of the small fish is partially melted.. no more skin left.. poor thing....

Some guys in the lab like really enjoyed themselves.. one of them even cut the fish into pieces, mutilating everything in search of the fish brain... wonder if he found it.. :/

Bio labs starting from last week is becoming more gross by the passing week.. at first, we're dissecting prawns (malaysian prawns eh!) and now the fish.. coming up is the cow's eye and sheep's heart! *anticipating* will try to take photos.. hehe...

Hmmm.. i realised that the days here are getting shorter plus the weather is much more cloudier... it gets dark already even at 5.45 pm.
here's a pic i took when its only 6.15

so dark eh? i wonder wad would it be like in winter... hmmm...

last but not least.. i would wanna wish my beloved mother happy mother's day (belated)! haha...

Simply scrumptious! smacking lips

I had the best dinner in my time here at my hall of residence so far last night. Last night was the pacific night which celebrates the culture of the pacific lslands. I simply loved the food until i went for a second serving! Here a pic of the menu..

First of all, i finally tasted soup that has a taste of home... when i sipped the soup which is made of pork bones and watercress(dont ask me wad it is as i dunno), it just shocked me as how tasty the soup is! it is not creamy at all like the other soups they serve here and i love it.

The best part is this other dish called oven roasted pork. The meat is soooo tender and juicy that i am salivating even blogging bout it.. hope they serve it again in the future... *gulp*

The desert was nice also, with ice cream, fresh fruit salad and ambrosia (cream plus marshmallow plus yoghart blended) topped with choc chips.. yum yum..

Other than the food, there's also performances from the residents who come from the pacific islands and quiz sessions.. here are a couple of photos..

Then today was just any other ordinary day except the fact that i saw these things on my way back from chemi lab...

Look like things that come straight from super mario land eh? haha.. its very colorful nice.. bet u cant see these on the roadsides of malaysia.. haha..

oh yeah.. i almost forgot.. in chemi lab i made this...

Looks like a biscuit eh? Barium iodate biscuits anyone? kakaka....

Spidey!

2007-05-08T04:15:00.000-07:00

2007-04-26T18:09:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.. sorry for the long absence from the blog area.. haha... only found mood to write blog today... Easter holidays has just finished.. the highlight of it was the balloons over waikato event.. its a very cool event with lots of hot air balloons which dont go high into the air but just hangs around near ground. Then, the workers light them up using the device they use to heat the air. The event was done at night so that the effects can be seen. it actually started at about 3pm with booths which arent that outstanding..

Then at night, the balloons were lighted up in patterns according to the music that they play and its like the balloons are "dancing" by glowing to the beat of the music.. here are some pictures.

The grand finale was the fireworks display! haha.. i liked it sooo much that i was recorded in a video to have said "hen mei arh! (Very beautiful arh!!)" about 6 to 7 times.. haha.. so embarrassing can.. here are some photos...

Then after the thing.. the weirdest thing happened... as i was walking across the field, i saw this in some other ppl's private party:

Haha.. Kashin.. since when u became an elephant in new zealand?? haha.. but that's not just it.. after seeing this and taking picture of it, i received a text msg from kashin after just five minutes asking me where was my BTN camp held! freaky huh? haha...

Well, the rest of the holidays were spent playing diablo 2 and browsing thru www.trademe.co.nz (its like www.lelong.com.my of new zealand.) Tonnes of good stuff.. haha

Now the weather is getting kinda cold ady... autumn has finally settled in.. everyday the temp does not go above 20 and drops as low as 3 degree... that's cold!! guess i shud go look for more clothes eh? i'll see...

That's all for this time... hopefully i'll feel like blogging more frequently larh... til next time... cheers!

holidays...

2007-04-10T00:24:00.000-07:00

Have any of u wonder wad holidays are meant to do? For all these time, i've had the impression that holidays are meant to have a soothing effect to a soul that's stretched out due to stress at work or studies.. i've always enjoyed holidays.. but i've nvr noticed one thing until now.. a holiday in a place where u hardly know anybody and its very hard to get in contact with ppl that u cherish as frens or no frens of urs ever contact u at all.. that sucks.. it sucks big time.. it makes one feel lonely and depressed instead of being happy like wad we're supposed to.. it just takes away all the fun and excitement of the holidays.. wad the heck.. this kinda sounds like a rubbish blog but that's how i feel now.. are friendships really that fickle? i'd try to ask myself that question but i simply cant face the truth.. life really sucks.. An irony huh when i'm suppose to begin to like this new place that i'm in.. but in truth... i really missed those intec days when i can just joke around with frens and go out and be noisy together.. but... its all the past now.. haiz.. only one word can describe how i feel now... lonely...

Life in NZ

2007-02-15T03:47:00.000-08:00

Hi... This is my first time blogging.. hope i can crap good enough to entertain u ppl out there... hahazz...

Hmm... i'm supposed to be on board a plane to new zealand now... but due to a couple of kidney stones and some snail-paced work, i'll have to fly late... anyways.. i can enjoy my CNY here!!! YAHOO!!! Guess that's abit of consolation for me...

Oh ya... before i forget... i'm creating this blog just to kacau those ppl who cant have CNY in Malaysia (those who already fly to AUS and NZ)... I'll report my CNY experience exclusively for those ppl as i can understand their sadness... Muahahaha... Evil right?? hahazz... Joking only larh k? Pls dont get angry larh.. hahazz...

Let's start talking bout my day.. haha.. I've just past thru valentine's day as a single but i still think it's a rather meaningful one.. know why? coz i went to clean church in valentine's day... We did the cleaning at night.. my daytime was as usual, with me playing Diablo 2 and watching anime (Yu-gi-oh).

Before we started, two birds flew into the room and i wasted ten minutes chasing birds and catching them so i could release them.. had a good exercise there.. haha.. then, I am appointed to the job of cleaning the toilet. I feel that its the most fun part to clean as i get to play water.. haha.. (kinda gross huh? ;P)

after the cleaning is done, all of the members who helped clean the church was "forced" to cut papers so that it can be folded. Here's two pictures of the paper we had to cut :

The one on the left shows wad the whole thing looks like.. the one on the right is the part where i struggled the most with.. man.. it is tough i tell you!!!

After everything's done, i went to my favourite western food restaurant, Richmond's Place, in Ellis road with my God sis (Kia Ing), Christopher heng, Jong Wei tat (hope i spelt his name correctly), and Carine. Ate a chicken Chop there... it's been a long time since i've ate one.. have to control diet ady.. haha..

That's all for the day.. I'm planning to watch ghost rider today.. it premiers today and hope i can book some tickets... its a movie that i've been anticipating.. thought i wont be able to watch it in malaysia but thanks to the delay, i guess i can.. muahahaha.. the trailers are very cool... will tell u guys whether its worth it to watch or not.. haha... here's the poster:

wow.. it's ady 3.46 am.. guess i better get to sleep then.. till next time then.. tata....
