Last entry for 2007

It's about an hour more before 2007 comes to an end. It has been a year full of stress and a mixture of all sorts of emotions. Thank you for those who has always been there for me with supports and surprises. I do hope our friendship would remain as long as we live ^_^

2008. I wonder what's coming my way :) But I do hope in this brand new year, the world would be as peaceful as possible; everyone get what they wish for, enjoy every second with happiness & good health; myself able to get a job that I get to enjoy with a not so bad paycheck,having a much more interesting life ahead, able to lose some pound (lol. this has been my resolution every year but it has never worked out so i guess this year just forget it :D) Most importantly i do hope that my loved ones will have a great year with wealth, health and happiness.

So happy new year to all! See you in 2008 ^_^

Not such a Merry Xmas to me...

*sigh* the most highly anticipated day of mine has became the most unexpectedly boring day for me. I was waiting to go Genting Highlands for Xmas this year but eventually I just don't enjoy it at all.

Anyway, before continuing, a late Merry Xmas to everyone who bothers to read my silly little blog...


This is what I did when I got up early in the morning in the hotel room. Just snap this pic of my nephew snoring away on the sofa.

Actually it was pretty crowded in Genting during Xmas eve, there was a countdown celebration on Times Square whereby some unknown band singing all the famous songs that made me feel like throwing something to the stage at them. Owh well, it's a free show anyway so I shouldn't complain much about it. Here are some pictures taken far far away from the stage. *sigh* I just hate the way I shot things. It's not interesting. Bleh...


This guy had been singing for hours of chinese/malay/ english songs and when he was trying to rap "In The End" I really wanted to throw something at his face. Goodness.

And honestly the whole place is crowded. And mum was complaining that she almost suffocates among the sea of crowds. lol. This time around, I wasn't alone on feeling bored. Even my relatives and mum too. They just kept walking around and looking here and there only cuz casino was too crowded as well..



Honestly the reason I felt bored was because my dear niece who came two weeks before and she's been shopping like mad and most of my savings are finished by her insanity = = I thought of using my money to have fun during Xmas but never expected she came to my place and spent all my cash and return home happily leaving me crying a river for myself. *sob* Can't do anything since it's already been done. I do hope I could celebrate my 2008 Xmas in overseas. Just have to work soon and save up some money. 5 more days to 2008 and I really dunno what to expect on myself. I would be lucky if I can get a job that I enjoy doing and with an OK-salary. (Lol, I know i should stop saying and should just go look for one for real.)

Anyway, one last pic of my niece, celebrated her bday for her on the day before she went back home to Cameron Highlands. Happy Belated Birthday dear. You better love yourself more and don't go on being depressed again. I'll kill you if you do it again. Love Ya!

I'm just so darn lazy...

Lol I found myself getting more and more lazy to blog nowadays. Nothing much interesting to post anyway since I'm currently having an uninteresting life. There are some pics that I wanted to post. Well. Just some random shots which is pretty lame. Since X'mas is around the corner, this post is dedicated to the X'mas tree. Haha here are all the xmas tree with different decorations that i've seen this year.

I like this shot for being colorful and the Angel is rather old haha..



And *sigh* still a long way to go for me to take great shots. Learning to handle the aperture and shutter speed properly.. lol. I want to take great pictures. *sob* Anyway, Merry Xmas everyone! I'll post some pics that I've took while riding the cable car in Genting on my next post. ^_^

@_@

Wanted to post stuff about my trip but I found myself in a very sick condition. The flu, the cough, and the sore throat all came to pay a visit since yesterday so I might need to rest a bit. Ta.

Home Sweet Home

I'm home finally... Honestly this trip made me realised that nowhere can replace the feeling of being at home. Reached KLIA around 10.45 pm last night and I was bloody tired. This trip has given me a lot of different thoughts. And Bangkok is really not how I think it is. Bangkok is one big city with tons of ppl, cars and dust... And my trip is unbelievably tiring and i can honestly say that if I were to live in Bangkok, I would have died of Diabetes. Their food is super sweet. Insanely sweet >.<

I'll write more about my trip later on. Actually I didn't get to visit interesting places my trip was more of like a windows shopping trip. *sigh* Saw one real hot guy on the plane last night. He was .. omg.. so hot <3 lol. anyway, here's a pic i took from the hotel room. The sunrise of Bangkok. Woke up at about 6 ish @ Bangkok/ 7 local time. I shall be back later.

Leaving...

Well honestly a big part of me don't feeling like leaving home at all. If it's with my mum, i'll totally have the mood to go traveling. But this time around, is with my bro and family only. I don't understand why is it so hard for him to give a place to my mum. I felt so bad to promise to go. All thanks to my niece as she needs company. I'm not trying to complain but I know I am complaining now. When i go traveling, I just absolutely hate that I don't know anything about my trip like exactly where to go and stuff like that. I *maybe* going to Bangkok. Right. How certain am I? Well I'll let you all know when I reach on Sunday. Ha. What a joke.

But honestly, this time around, I just don't know where I'll be and stuff like that. I just hate the answer "we'll just go around and eat and have fun". My question is "where" not "what" = = Thailand is not that small. *sigh* I should just shut up and get to know it on that day itself. I'm pretty worried to leave mum home alone. Well I know she's ok with it but somehow I'm not quite ok. *sigh*

I guess I'll just leave here with my last post before the trip. Bye.

Nattō

I can say honestly, curiosity really kills the cat. Went out for lunch with Joshua and Win @ Win's birthday place- Sakae Sushi today. As usual we ordered food and i came across to Nattō tempura. And I always wondered why Shin Chan loves to mix it with rice so much so I ordered it. I would have never imagined it to smell that way. It smells disgusting and I can't even finish the whole piece of that Nattō tempura. *eeewwww*



Honestly the taste is just unbearable = = *shivers* I think i've found something that I will hate to put in the mouth- Natto = =

Here's a shin chan clip. Haha. I just wish there are subtitles. And I love shiro. Hehe.


It's gonna be thursday soon and sunday is coming very soon. Looking forward to travel but feeling absolutely bad that mum is not coming along. *sigh* just hope that everything will be fine at home and during the trip.

Haha

Went out with Win today. Took some pics of the food we ate. Chicken ham & cheese on toast. Haha. And some really random shots. I'll be leaving this sunday til next thursday for a vacation :) Going to thailand! Whee. Although I wish to go somewhere else like.. HK... haha. owh well I better shut up and don't complain since my trip is FOC and i don't need to pay for anything except the passport which i went to renew this morning. And I can honestly say, the other race ppl always like to work slow. Went there around 8 and only got things done around 1. *sigh* Why do i even bother? Anyway, just roughly changed the header banner. I didn't do those graphics, I just put everything together in one. Lol. So lazy huh...

My iPod touch box shot


This shot is taken by Win... hehe..


Chicken Ham & Cheese on toast. Pretty good to eat :D


Last but not least... the big head Vic & Win ^_^

Yawn

Haha. Nothing to do, so take some lousy pictures.

First, my fried meehoon. Lol. Supposely going out for lunch with some ppl but that some ppl FFK me.


The mp3 players that i've used. (Forgot to put in the lousy china mp4 players = =)
(From Left: My first iPod- iPod Shuffle, the replacement of my shuffle- SONY mp3 player, my latest iPod/Love- iPod Touch)


Whee.. iPod Touch interface.



See how thin is this baby? Sweet :)


The SONY player still the thickest of all = =


Last but not least. The Apple on the Book. Haha. Whatever



Honestly I love how my iPod touch can entertain me not only with music. The screen is phenomenal. When i couldn't sleep i just tend to watch movie from my iPod touch under my blanket. Lol. iPod touch rulez <3

A week full of surprises and a little bit of upset..

Something great and some really bad stuff happened throughout the whole week. Therefore I guess I just have to split things up one by one :D

Wednesday
Surprise 1:

I was talking about getting a new camera on my last entry and was still hesitating whether what to get and should I even get a new camera. Somebody else helped me to solve this problem on the next day. Instead of keep surveying and asking people around me, my cousin brother just bought me the Powershot S5 IS. I was like o.O cuz originally I was thinking to borrow some money from mum but my cousin bro was like... "Owh... since you're able to get out of that college with a class, This camera is your graduation gift." Words can never described how I felt that moment. *Happy*

Here's the shot taken with my SE phone. Well you can see the difference of the quality very much as compared to the photos later :D



Just pretty much lazy to take more shots using my phone cuz the quality just suck. I'm totally in love with this thing. I was shooting here and there which made mum feeling irritated cuz she was like asking me what is there to shoot in the house. Lol.


Friday
Second stuff that makes me happy and a lil' upset:

Actually the camera came just in time cuz the day after was Lee Hom's promo in Sg Wang. I was telling Win about how I got sick of some friends that I know and I even lost my interest in Lee Hom b/c of them. But I guess today I found the passion for Lee Hom back. Originally there I knew this gal, Ms. K, she was like a few years older than I do but somehow I think she has a really narrow mind. Don't plan to type everything out here cuz I don't meant to say anything unpleasant about that Ms. K but I think I've learnt that sometimes people just aren't the way you think they are. I just see some true colours about some ppl who demand for things from their friends when they need but don't give a shit about their friends at all. I guess it's not a completely bad thing that I knew the true self of this Ms.K cuz in a way I think I got to know more Lee Hom fans as freely as I want without having to worry about such and such is someone from another group.Cuz honestly I never knew that Lee Hom fans in Malaysia had groups within group whereby all of them don't like each other and wanting to "fight" for everything related to Lee Hom =/ Since now I'm neutral, I don't even need to care about all this stuff anymore cuz my main purpose is to see Lee Hom whenever he comes to Malaysia and get to know people who share the same interest and think the same way as I do.

The best part of the event was when I got on stage to get my albums autographed by Lee Hom, suddenly there was this gal who were crying below the stage and she wanted to see Lee Hom and even talking to him as she's in the stage of going to be blind soon. Really pity her though. So Lee Hom then stood up after signing one of my album and he brushed over my shoulder and walking towards the edge of the stage to talk to the gal. I was stunned for a while cuz he brushed over my shoulder and smiled at me before that. And during that moment, I really found the passion for Lee Hom back and I'm in love with him again. Lol.

So, here are some shots that I took for the promo. Didn't stand quite front though cuz I went there in the afternoon. Although the shots are not very nice but I just love how this new baby of mine can shot better pictures than those normal camera.

The OH-SO-HOT Lee Hom <3


Thirsty Lee Hom


Those eyes are killing me <3 <3


If only I was standing in the first row, I could have get better pics.. *sigh* it's just my skill is not there. Nothing else to be blamed.


Sunday
Surprise 2:

I don't know why I just keep having the urge to buy a new iPod. I guess probably I got pretty sick of the SONY player that I have. And for those who wanted to get a new MP3 Player, DO NOT GET SONY MP3 PLAYER FOR YOUR OWN CONVENIENT. Sony player's software was a nightmare for me. First for not being compatible with Mac and then the s/w does not support any other writings except ABC and 123. The s/w decoded the chinese character as ??? instead of the original one. Just as I was scratching my head of what to get again, either iPod Nano/Classic/Touch. I really don't like the look of the new nano and for the classic, do I really need that much space? Why not a new HDD instead? Lol. As for the touch, I just don't have enough cash for it. Before my cousin went to HK, he was asking me if I want to buy iPod from there. I was telling him yes cuz it's a lot cheaper over there. But eventually I didn't really set my mind to what I really want. Then on Sunday, he came over and he was like... giving me a box and that black box was the iPod touch!!!! OMG! I almost wanted to cry when I see that thing cuz the other day when Joshua showed me his iPod touch, I was totally, madly in love with it. And I guess my prayers were heard all the time and dreams come true again. I finally got an iPod touch! Wheee! I slept with it on last night. Lol.

It's a total mad week. I am truly blessed. And I really thank God for that. I really had everything I wanted. A powerbook; I met Mike and took a pic with him; met Lee Hom twice and shook his hand during the concert and brushed over his shoulder a few days ago;got a new camera; iPod touch. Nothing is better than all this and I am truly grateful with my life. I know I've been complaining about life so much but at the end of the day, my life is truly a miracle for me. Hehe. I guess that's all about it for now.

Whee.. the iPod touch! My second iPod. Should give it a name eh? Mmm... I'll name it Mike Shinoda. *lol* kidding.



Yep. It's 8 Gb. I think 8Gb is just good enough to fill in everything i need =)


I just love the smell of new apple product. Smells good ^_^ smells like.. Apple? Lol



This is for the fun of it. I realise the pic that I took is getting worse = =

Updates...

It's been a while since I updated my last entry. Nothing much happened though. Last wednesday went to remove two teeth, one wisdom tooth and one molar tooth. These two teeth has been causing me terrible pain for weeks already. There is one more to be removed soon. *sob*

Never thought that our result would come back this soon, received an email from Ms Sharon that we might be getting our result slip anytime of the upcoming week. The convo will be on 2 February 2008, Nikko Hotel. After getting the email, I called up the college and got to know that I got second lower class for my degree. Well... better than I expected cuz I was worrying that I might fail badly. For now.. *phew* But then there are 2 person who got first class in my batch. I was pretty unhappy. Not that I'm jealous or anything but then those ppl don't earn it by hardwork but outsourcing. Too bad I don't have real prove to show that they did that but then the truth lies beneath their skin. Blah.

Anyway, going to get a new iPod soon and a new camera! Whee :D I had a pretty hard time deciding between iPod nano/class/touch. I guess eventually i might be getting the nano? We'll see. And now I'm thinking about the camera. I'm pretty in love with the Canon Powershot S5 IS and the Nikon D40 & D40X. But then in terms of budget, I would go for the Powershot S5 IS. If only I have more money... I will go for the D40X . One thing I don't really like about the Powershot is the battery issue. 4 AA batteries. But then I guess I can live with that. As for the D40, the price is around RM 2088. Pretty tempting too T_T But the Powershot is good enough for me I think... around RM1699. Have to think about the addition charges for rechargeable battery and the SD card. Lol.



Canon Powershot S5 IS



Nikon D40


So any suggestion of better cameras for the budget less than 2K? *sigh* I can't be borrowing from others all the time so it's time to own one myself. Muahaha. Have to owe the mum for this, I'll pay you back after I start working :D Or would you be kind enough to buy for me as a graduation gift? *wink*

That's all for now. Going to see Lee Hom this friday. Pretty not looking forward to b/c of some ppl. *sigh* Win. Have fun in Taiwan ya? I'm so excited for u. If i really have the cash to go Taiwan I would tag along and forget about Lee Hom. Have tons of fun dear. I will miss you while you're gone. No one to chat *sob*

Mmmm.. Donuts...

Went to the Pavilion with mum today. Originally only meant to go Low Yat Plaza to get some DVDs for my cousin bro, then thought about going there and have a look. Bought a dozen of donuts there. Pretty good I would say. Better than Dunkin Donuts. The shop is called "J-Co Donuts & Coffee", on the 1st floor of the Pavilion if i didn't remember wrongly. But the shop itself it's very noticeable cuz only this shop has got very long queue. I waited for about 10 minutes or so only my turn. They've got a lot of different flavors- Green Tea, Strawberry, Mocha, Peanut, Cheese, Tiramisu, and so on. All looks very yum. The pic below is what I bought. The price is not bad too. 2 dozen of donuts for RM35. (Honestly I didn't take any good pics lately, I guess I just want to eat instead of taking pics here and there :P)



Took this from the point I queue for the donuts. Horrible = =


Pavilion is pretty big actually,bigger than the new MV aka the Gardens- filled with branded shops, Parkson Grand. It feels very different than KLCC, MV, 1U. Like pic below, the escalator looks different, it gives me a feel like the design of Singapore/HK shopping malls? Probably it's just me.



I think the only thing that I don't like is that it's kinda far. Although I'm not like a crazy shopper or anything, I actually quite enjoy walking around in this big mall than any other shopping mall that i've been to.

lastly, post something that i've snap when i've got nothing else better to do.

Life without the Internet is absolutely boring...

Since 2nd of October til today, I was living my life without the internet. And it was killing me... badly. My life was totally stuck with the television, watching all sorts of shows with my mum. Haha. Nothing much to update lately. But right now i'm pretty excited cuz i'm using my cousin bro's 24 inch iMac updating my blog. Tee-hee. I love this thing so much that I wish it's mine. *sob*

Too bad couldn't wait til Leopard is out cuz I'll be going back to Cameron Highlands next Thursday for my nephew's one month old celebration. 24 inch... Goodness. My Powerbook macam so tiny now. I guess even in the future if I really want to get one for myself, 20 inch will be good enough. 24 inch is a little too big for my room. When I look at my Powerbook now it feels so bad. Of course both are different but looking at the brightness of this brand new iMac and the powerbook it's like... the max of my powerbook is not even as bright as the lowest for this iMac. wtf o.O


Ppl would be wondering why I'm still at home. Honestly, I do feel like working but in a way I really don't. Since now I got my connection back, what I want to do is that I really hope to build up some skills that I don't have like brushing up my photoshop skills and so. *sigh* I'm kinda worried about what I'll be doing later. Actually I'm just looking forward to Christmas. And that's like almost 2 months away.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Nothing much to write about. I love iMac. Darn. The screen is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. Damn!

where got keyboard so slim one? i love this thing!!!


Gosh look at this beautiful thing. too bad.. it's not mine :(

A week full of sickness =/

I guess after the course ended and the pressure started to fade away and there came germs knocking on my door. "Time to get sick dude" Honestly I've not been sick for quite some time now. Thank goodness I didn't fall sick for the past few months while rushing for all the assignments. This time my sick was quite serious. As I normally don't fall sick easily and when I do it's normally very serious. The last time that I was in this kind of condition was during my A-levels time and it's really terrible til I cannot get up from bed and i can't speak at all when my friend called =/

Anyway, I would like to apologise to Win for the too simple dinner on Monday night. Very wrong time for me to fall sick. Joshua and my original plan for u were kinda ruined. Sorry dear. Actually we did not plan to bring u to Japanese restaurant. Coincidently all 3 of us were sick in the same time so no choice but to eat something "healthier" lol. I'll make it up to you I promise.

*sigh* i think I get use to blogging in chinese for the past few months and right now blogging back in English feels so damn weird = = Since there's nothing much to update recently, that's why no new post to post up.

My life depends on TV heavily ever since the course ended. Sounded like a useless person huh? I wish I have the money to travel. I'm dying to travel actually T_T I'm wondering what kind of job should I apply for later. In a way I just feel so worried that I can't do anything cuz I really can't = = I need some career advice. Someone tell me what should I do? T_T

Gyoza Day

Ever since last Friday, I think my appetite has gone better. And since I've not been really making anything lately, I've decided to make Gyoza aka Dumplings. Haha. I guess in the future if I can't find a job or something I might end up doing this. Haha. Maybe not la. I'm not such a good cook and the thing I cook only acceptable by myself. Anyway.. Here's how I make Gyoza. A little different than how others usually made.

1. Gyoza's stuffing: Prawns, Minced meat, leek, mushrooms, ginger juice, sesame oil. etc.
2. Flour dough ingredient: high-protein flour, a little of corn flour, mixture of hot and cold water.
3. After finished making the dough, let it rest for roughly 30 mins.. then use the rolling pin to make it like what is shown in the pic,
4. Then just wrapped up the stuffing with the flour dough that had been made in step 3,
5. Finish wrapping everything,
6. Boil some hot water, when the water is boiling, add in some vinegar(to prevent it from sticking to the pan i think, lol) Then put in the gyoza, wait til all the gyoza floats up
7. Heat up a frying pan with a little oil, and just let the gyoza fried til the base is golden brown.. 8. and there you have it... Gyoza ready to serve :D


Normally how those people make it is like after wrapping it all up, they just straightaway put it into the pan to fried and adding in water til the base is golden brown.

Lol.. I'm gonna be fat in no time =/

Linkin Park Asia Tour--- Not including malaysia yet..

I've been waiting for news for the Malaysia tour. Where is malaysia? Almost everywhere in south east Asia are listed but not Malaysia? Noooo...

The last time I went for a concert was during March for Lee Hom's Heroes of Earth concert. The last western band/artist concert I went was Fort Minor's. This time if they ever announce to play in Malaysia in November, I'm gonna buy the most front ticket for sure. Not like 4 years ago, when I wasn't even a fan back then. *sigh*

Well.. here's the latest schedule for Asia Tour.

11/11- Thailand, Bangkok-Aktive Square

13/11- Singapore- Singapore Indoor Stadium

16/11- Taiwan, Taipei-Taipei County Stadium

18/11- China, Shanghai- Hong Kou Stadium

20/11- Hong Kong- Asia World Arena

23/11& 24/11 - Japan, Saitama-Shi-Saitama Super Arena Chou-ku

26/11- Japan, Nagoya-Nippon Gaisha Hall (Rainbow Hall) Minami-ku

27/11- Japan, Osaka-Prefectural Gymnasium Naniwa

30/11- Korea, Seoul- Olympic Stadium

Ah~ I'm glad that it's all over

Finally escaped from that place of torture and hatred. I guess I really hate that college THAT MUCH huh. Went to hangout with Win in 1u yesterday. Honestly I haven't been feeling so happy and so relaxed for quite some time now. Actually I feel quite weird without those pressure I had. Don't get me wrong, I don't like pressure. But I think I got used to it so much for the past few weeks. Whatever it is.. I love the smell of freedom air. It felt sooooo good. Having sushi and strawberry short cake made the evening perfect. I love the bakerzin's strawberry shortcake so so much. It's gonna be my most favorite cake til I found a better cake than this. *yum*


Honestly I do want to forget about the past that I had so desperately but then I guess it's not easy huh? I think I've learned a lot from this place about people and work. The only great thing that I've earned from this college is friendship. If it wasn't for the both of them, I guess my life in KDU would be very much worse than what I had. You guys really brighten up my life in KDU and I do hope that our friendship will continue til we are old and we are still able to hangout in Starbucks, Nando's.. wherever :) Thanks Win & Joshua, you guys have been so great to me. Friendship forever and this post is dedicated to the both of you.




P.s. I look like a moose in the first pic =/
