Great 5 days!!! (Penang only arc)

Disclaimer : Lots of fun involved, no bars held, stereotyping committed. XD

Following on, we had one full day to enjoy Penang! As usual, the "bangun pagi, gosok gigi......" routine by everyone. XD

So, our first stop was Macalister Road where we ate some seriously good Char Kuey Teow, Curry Mee, Cendol and Rojak. The best part is, the fellow who cooks the Char Kuey Teow wears a super duper cool sunglasses while cooking. Its damn funny to see it. And in a way, it sorta became his trademark for people to know that this Char Kuey Teow is nice.

After that, we decided to go to Air Itam and eat the famous Assam Laksa. Although the place is a little cramp and maybe albeit messy, the Assam Laksa is just as good as being balance in its taste. And since Kek Lok Si is just nearby, why not walk up Kek Lok Si and enjoy some sightseeing? Off we trot to Kek Lok Si. Surprisingly, I made a statement in Mandarin to Amelia but Adam heard it and he hit me for it. The statement is nothing big actually, only that " If Adam can pass through, I definitely can too!" cause there is a big lorry that was blocking the road. Suddenly Adam hit me and say, "I know what you said". XD

Then oh no!!! The guys even sissier than the girls when it comes to haggling!!!! XD, this is because we barely walked for 5 mins, then everyone start seeing things that they want to buy. The girls settled their issue even way faster, quicker and earlier than the guys. Unfortunately, once we pass the Turtle Pond, Amelia, Lee Ning and Wesley don't feel like joining us. So, we continued all the way to the top where the construction of the big Guan Yin statue is still on-going. All of us sorta became more faggot-y once we reach there. I don't know why but seriously, go to my facebook and look at the pictures. It speaks volume!

Then after spending about an hour or so there, we decided it is better that we go back down, lest the other 3 had to wait for us for a long time or in case, it rains. Anyway, our next stop is FOOD!! Er.. I mean, GURNEY DRIVE! So, at this place, sadly, we had to separate our place and the only most memorable thing I get from here is, Amelia became high without drinking alcohol. Fact to prove : She kept on using rubbish like tissues and plastic to produce 'wan tan' then ask some of us to try it. Luckily, none of us did. If not, sure kena screw cukup-cukup.

I guess, that's all bah. I mean, going back to hotel and sleep, ain't really worth mentioning in detail. ngek ngek ngek!

Great 5 days!!! (Langkawi to Penang arc)

Disclaimer : Lots of fun involved, no bars held, stereotyping committed. XD

The second day really nothing much to talked about. Except that I found out something new about myself. I really hate inconsideration to the max! Read down, you will find out why :P

In the morning at about 10.00am, was awoken by Adam and Wei Ken going out of the hotel room (since when did I became a light sleeper) and accompanied them. Sadly, nature called and had to use the toilet, so went back and poo-ed then bathed. Not long later, start waking everyone up cause we gotta return the car by 2pm. So, as usual, started talking again while waiting for everyone.

Then, once all of us are done, we had to go back to Kuah town and that's when issues crop up. We went separate ways, which is, the 'auto' car occupants (Arthur, Adam, Cheok, Wei Ken and Amelia) is gonna go shop for more duty-free items like liquors and things like that while the 'manual' car occupants (Wesley, Lee Ning, Shu Tin, Tze Lin and me) are suppose to buy the tickets, then rush for lunch and then go shopping, if any. I don't know why, maybe cause I don't know their side of the story or I really, really find it unfair to us. Well, let bygones be bygones. XD. I made a really sarcastic statement though which I now kind of regretted. This is because at one point, they asked us to go to Dataran (He)Lang as well, >< Glad that you guys laugh at that statement though. XD

So, went up the ferry and touched down Kuala Kedah first. From there, we took a taxi to Butterworth I think. I am lucky to enter the taxi that was fairly new and with working air-con together with Adam and Wei Ken.

Anyway, once we reached Butterworth, we went to sit a short ferry ride, it was nice to travel to Penang beside using the Penang Bridge. But I think the thing worthy of being mentioned is that almost everyone wanted to con me again, due to my lousy geographical knowledge and understanding. XD

Woah, my experience with Rapid Penang is very memorable. One thing that I definitely notice is the efficiency and cleanliness of the bus and the system. And my first hand experience with Penang-ites (aside from anime club friends of mine) is quite eye-opening. Well, I thought of making life easier for us, so I suggested, let's all put the stuff on the seat beside mine, cause no one sitting also. Then as we move around Penang and the bus got filled up, suddenly one old uncle who board the bus starting saying "The seat is for people. Can't you put the bags at the front? You are very inconsiderate" Of course, being me, I couldn't be bothered much, so I gave quite minimal reaction. Then I think the uncle beh tahan and said, "Can't you do something about the bags?" So I act a little exasperated and start calling everyone to take their bags back. The uncle quickly sat in a huff beside Amelia, pity her la for being stuck with the uncle. Rather than being angry at the uncle, I became wondrous of Penang-ites culture cause it struck me as kind of unique. Or maybe I don't board buses often, so I really don't know how is it like. So, to be reprimanded on the bus is really a first-time for me.

Then, once we reached Batu Ferringhi and checked-in to our service apartment, Sri Sayang. We head to the roadside night market. Before that, we had food in a food court. And I find myself fairly lucky to order Fried Tom Yam mee hoon. Cause the food that the others ordered, according to them, don't really taste nice. But the best surprise came from Shu Tin, she ate Assam Laksa, Char Koay Teow, Lam Mee and some grilled fish at one go. It was really funny seeing her eat so much (facts might differ but conclusion the same : she ate damn a lot) XD

So, we walked around the night market after the meal and my best experience was with Tze Lin. Story goes like this, I was about to buy ice-cream from this Indian lady, then Tze Lin shouted "DON'T BUY FROM HERE" and she dragged me, while running, all the way to the front, while the both of us were laughing. XD, what happened was, she called me a few times but I didn't hear her and just as I was about to order and pay money, she sorta got panic and did the above. XD, man, I just love that moment!

The night market was nothing much actually. But we did find out that the beach is quite nearby, just that we have to pass through other hotels to arrive at the beach.

But that wasn't really our main objective anyway. Drinking was top on our list. Did I mention we managed to smuggle a few bottles like a Midori, a Bombay Sapphire, a Vodka and others (we had a group photo of them)? Oh yeah, we named two bottles Mr. Simon and Mr. Ong as well. The story, some other time. Basically, we played more games and became more hyper tonight. XD. Especially liked the part where Arthur became "King" and made the rule "sekarang, semua cakap dalam Bahasa Melayu" and Wesley kept getting caught cause he keep using English. Then right, we also have three types of lap dances, courtesy of Wesley and Adam. Wesley did once with chair and another on Cheok (*wink *wink) and both were definitely good. On the other hand, watching Adam doing lap dance is... er... um... ah... MAKING ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF cause he fell down with the chair, just because he wanted to act sexy. Wei Ken was being sporting too because Wei Ken dare's was to take off his shirt and act like a cow boy, which was precisely what he did!

And that, my folks, ended the second day. Life rocks!

Great 5 days!!! (Langkawi arc)

Disclaimer : Lots of fun involved, no bars held, stereotyping committed. XD

Yup, yup, 25.10.2010 to 29.10.2010, I spent my entire time with my CFAB classmates in Langkawi and Penang. Had a blast man! And we definitely had things working out quite nicely for us. XD

So, our first stop is Langkawi and our route went like this: 12.30am, board the bus at Perhentian Duta to Alor Setar, then we went to sit some really, really old bus (man, I find the bus so vintage and old, its hard not to like it) to Kuala Kedah, quickly bypassing Pekan Rabu. We reached just in time to board the ferry, which is about to set off 5 mins from the time we bought the tickets(LMAO at the movie they aired for us, Puppet Master:Axis of Evil but most of us were sleeping anyway).

Once we reached Langkawi, first thing we did was to rent cars and tried to charter a ferry for island hopping. Car rental was a success although hiccups appear. Anyway, in the car I was in, together with Adam(driver), Cheok(co-driver), Arthur and Shu Tin, we literally rocked the car! With all of us shouting our lungs out to songs, with Adam being the gay-est among us, it is definitely noisy. And I realised that my knowledge on English songs is really poor. ><>Ngek, ngek, ngek. Nighfall and dinner was ate nicely in Kuah town. About RM20 per person with chicken, egg, vegetable, fish and rice. Quite a good bargain. Though, the enjoyment lies in the liquor. The guys managed to buy 2 bottle of Chivas Regal (12 years) and 12 cans of Carlsberg for our own 'consumption'.

On the way back, the two drivers (Arthur and Wesley) were being faggot-y because they raced with each other. It was quite amusing actually, because at one time, Wesley said to Arthur "Want to see auto or manual, which car pick up faster?" and before Wesley can finish the sentence, Arthur sped off already because light turned green. Then at the following traffic light, Arthur smiled to Wesley and the reverse occured. This time, Wesley drove off first. Man, amusement, amusement.

Once we reached the hotels, its time for games. Again, thanks to Wesley for gathering data about the games. We played King, Up/Down and others that I forgotten. We downed one bottle of Chivas Regal that night itself. Of course, with the help of the mixer (Coca-cola). Craziness ensues the whole time! We have Adam, who kept wanting to lose because he wants to drink, then Shu Tin who drank while smiling but says it taste bad. Wei Ken is either definitely drunk during the whole game or just relaxing~ Me, exercising self-control. XD

Following up, we walked along the beach while talking with each other. Particularly liked the session with Arthur, Shu Tin and Tze Lin. Really had bonding at that time. Then I really liked the waves and all, so, once I settled most of them in the bed, I went for a self-reflection session by myself in the beach. That time, Lee Ning, Wesley, Adam and Wei Ken was still around. Later, after I settled them in, I went back to the beach again.

For better or worse (still yet to come to a conclusion), Adam and Wei Ken came down to accompany me. We were talking at this room and we sort of kena screw by a Eurasian. Wei Ken became a little bit more aggressive than usual. Which is a little heart-lightening to watch. So, the three of us basically moved a little further and talked crap. I personally really wanted to wait and watch the Sunrise too.

Finally, I was coerced by them to enter back the hotel room. Turns out they were worried about me being alone at the beach. So, I had to promised them that I won't go. And then, since it was a little tough finding a place to sleep, I thought I should sleep at the guys bed. Gah!! It became damn squeezy as in I kept being awake because I got no place to move around. So, I gave up sleeping, walked around the room and decided to sit on the chair and do some reading. Gave that up also at about 6.30am and finally went to sleep beside Amelia. Thanks for sharing the blanket!

There goes the first day! Second day coming right up!

PS: I became addicted to the song "Lemon Tree"

AniManGaki 2010 and P+L trip


I am back!! After the 1-week plus hiatus of phots (><), I am back with a unique one. Guess where this photo come from. Sheesh, I am becoming forgetful in getting the photos everyday.

Anyway, I am done with PT1 of POT, woo hoo!! Call me an easily satisfy bugger or whatever suits you, I am happy with 67.5 marks, though I could have done better. Was definitely under prepared this time.

So, the only thing I look forward to now is AniManGaki 2010 and Penang + Langkawi trip (which I dubbed as P+L trip, but many thinks it is Profit and Loss trip. XD). Once I enter the final week of October, I have a damn fun whirlwind to handle!!

Yup, yup. This has got nothing to do with thoughts and opinions at all. But only an expression of joy and excitement!!!!! XD

P-s dominated

Wah, my past one week of life has been dominated by P-related things. XD, I am not particularly happy about nor really depressed. Just normal.

Yeah, so the list of P-related things:

1. Portfolio project
2. Principle of Taxation (POT)

Yeah, those two practically dominated my life for the whole week. I mean, the little little things like Thinking Skills class and SUAC meeting are fun, but not so prominent this week.

Yup, yup. Gonna go nerd-ing now cause I am really afraid of POT.

Back!!!!!

Taken on 8.10.2010

Taken on 7.10.2010

Taken on 6.10.2010

Taken on 5.10.2010

Its back! Its back!! Actually its refer to the daily sky photos that I take. XD. Took a long hiatus since the last one cause internship really hindered me from doing so. Anyway, since I am back from internship and continuing college life, I can continue what I promised. XD

Basically, from Tuesday to Friday ( 5.10.10 to 8.10.10) only had Principle of Taxation class. Each day. For 3 hours. Good thing Mr. Simon is our lecturer, so classes are a little bit more tolerable. And now I know why tax consultants or people in tax department are paid quite well. Just the 1st 3 chapters showed me the level of detail required. I mean, I nearly go bonkers trying to do the question because at every 'round' or most of the time, you are bound to miss doing something. It's scary and funny at the same time, ya know. Oh yeah, also celebrated Tze Lin's birthday on 8.10.2010 with minimal surprise (aka phailed attempt at surprising her ><). And I have the feeling the 30 mins break that Mr. Simon give will be 'making money session', in another words, he is teaching us for the full 3 hours. XD

On Monday (4.10.10), life ain't that boring either. Actually, we were suppose to have Thinking Skills class but then, class got cancelled. Because.... Ok, I am better at writing it at a sequential form, so here goes! Well, as usual, I reached college at my trademark timing (read : late) and started playing a fool with everyone due to the fact the lecturer is still not around. So, we played till it is 8.30am and I sort of can't stand it anymore, therefore, I decided to look for Soo Min. Turns out lecture is stuck in a heavy jam in a toll highway. Class cancelled due to that. Our next course of action after doing up other miscellaneous stuff is to have hang out together for the next few hours. The place we decided is Sunway Pyramid and we ended up in Pappa Rich. Once everyone is there, except Arthur, started crapping away la. XD Crapping eventually lead to talks about class trip. XD, after all the havoc and noise, we decided to go to Penang and/or Langkawi. Of course, being us, none of this is finalised yet. So, just gotta wait and see. See how fun my 1st week of college is! But form 5 still seems to be the best cause I just watched a video of Hui Sin and Su Wei getting married. What a crazy bunch we are!! Come back, craziness! Come back too!
