Gefühle von Noobie Liang..

Last CNY before Germany

2010-02-16T22:24:00.003+08:00

Sad but true, this is my last Chinese New Year celebration in Malaysia

IF :

1) I pass my a-levels cut off point
2) I pass my DSH
3) I do nothing stupid that makes JPA send me away

I just hope this year's CNY will be merrier, happier, more gambling, more laughter.

Let me cry and cry and sob and sob next year, but this year, I WANT FUN

and study too. stupid trials is two weeks away.

Nevertheless, that should not stop me from collecting more angpau. East malaysian friends please request your parents for me for my angpaus, cause you gonna get from my parents [if u visit me].

Thx in advance.

Happy Valentines and CNY - Shuang

2010-02-14T12:30:00.005+08:00

I'm sorry but I cannot be with you this very day
But my Heart is

Happy Valentines!!

Don't cry liao :)

A Message

2010-02-11T00:22:00.002+08:00

There's something in my mind that disturbs it constantly. I regreted for something I did, or something I have not done. And this remorse feeling conquered me and I lost, I lost without a battle. It's like trying to be dry under a heavy downpour, trying to be clean in a pool of mud. I struggled and struggled and struggled. I tried to run away, I sleep for long hours, I avoid, but it all fails to comfort me. It just does not fills into my heart, there's something empty, there's something.. just something not right..

Then I read the Words, It reads the forgiveness, the forgiveness that given to us when it's not suppose to. Every I fall, I cried.. Why have I not forgive myself?

It's hard to forgive others, and it's harder to forgive myself. I should've went to the dentist earlier, I should've listened, I should've..... saved my tooth.

But the fact is, I didn't. I delayed, PROCASTINATED, and the effort to save that lil cute tooth is wasted.

So now, I'll declare war on the idiot : PROCASTINATION and befriend FORGIVENESS.

*although it's not the first time i declare such war XD

Anyway, had a great potluck with some Intec friends, majority from A-level medicine. Special thanks to Qi Ying and her dedicated friends which made the event. Some gathering sometimes is always refreshing for a moody and painful day. THANKS QI YING & FRIENDS for inviting(although I'm invited cause Yik Chen's invited) and a wonderful time there.

I dont know whose hands are those..

I'm sure the mosquitoes wanted to thank them too.. XD

My laptop's having an affair

2010-02-08T14:40:00.002+08:00

I'm quite sure she's having an affair with someone else. It keep dozing off when I'm using it! Running for unknown processes.

I'm gonna do it once and for all. I'll reformat you, laptop!!

Last week was a hectic and dramatic week. It taught me the reality once again, which I've been trying to avoid.

I will not bring my last week's mood to pollute this week's mood! :)

Someone is being missed. Ah.. another 6 months to wait.

Pimples

2010-02-02T21:04:00.002+08:00

As per title,

I was blessed with a great, humongous, ubersome pimples right under my right eye close to my nose. This small little baby is really big, to my memories, there's been minimum 3 years since I last had such thing dangling over my face. Why would I write about these disgusting pimples? There's a honorable reason behind this : Because it is a test subject for my crazy friend - Joanne Tay

I was given a test-tube like plastic tube with a cotton stick attached to the cover of the tube. And you guess the rest what would I do with it..

No pictures given, because I wanna keep the foods you ate in your stomach. But hey, I'm contributing to the human medical field!! (or to Joanne's project) I prefer the 1st one since it sound cooler. Who's Joanne? no body!

CNY is coming very soon, but my mood for it is really dim. Blame the trials 1 week after CNY -.-

Breaking the long silence

2010-02-01T23:21:00.002+08:00

Breaking the long silence here..

For sometime, I'm lost in procrastination and workloads on my head.

Not like now it isn't, but I'm determined.
With over 10000 pictures in RAW waiting for me to convert.
With 2 years of syllabus waiting for me to revise.

I'm tensed, but I'm blessed with these work. I'm not complaining, I'm appreciating.

This Thursday, my beloved old buddy, Wei Nian will be flying with his girlfriend to Australia for further education. May the journey be a good one to you two! And be a blessed one. You guys really made me envy!!

It was a superb lunner(lunch + dinner) with you two. Such a long time since I last meet you, no? Teck Yit

I hope that things wouldn't change too much in the future

Like the moon..

Shuang, is the moon there as bright as this? You are deeply missed..

From Korea's Cybercafe

2009-12-17T18:18:00.002+08:00

Firstly, I'm very glad that they have alphabets on the keyboard!!

Right.. after such a long break.

Just reporting in some weather from Korea, today is -10 degree celcius and tomorrow possibly going for -15. Clothings that Shuang got for me is pretty enough for this temperature, but not my glove!! My hands were frozen all the time especially holding the camera!!

Been shooting alot and having a great time here in Korea especially meeting friends from Malaysia, yes Jun Haw and Hui Shan and Jing Wen and Edward.

I'll be alone in Seoul for 2 days, starting from today because there's a sudden vacation for the Korean Programmes students in SNU, I've been dumped alone.

To cut short, Korea, in my mind when compared to Malaysia :
1) Foods are expensive. I'm crying when I'm eating.
2) Fast foods in korea is among the cheapest food you can find.
3) Mr Pizza's freaking expensive. A Pizza cost RM 100+
4) Alright, some good comments, some sceneries are beautiful.
5) Snow's pretty.
6) Subway's very well planned and user friendly. I've been using subway since Day 1 in Korea.
7) Koreans in subways and in vacation spots are from two different worlds

Thats all for now. Pictures.. I'll consider to upload if I could finish process them.

5 more days and I'm back to Msia. Counting down... reluctantly

Delay.. delay

2009-11-27T09:35:00.000+08:00

SOme health issue kept me away from blogging. Been having on and off fever and cough and...etc etc..
Nevertheless, i will update the photo blog soon. Some pictures of my recent trips and people i met will be posted up.

Now I'm busy with planning my korea trip, and also finish the last batch of photos i've taken - Langkawi.

2009-09-29T13:19:00.001+08:00

Roasted my maths, grilled my english.

I'm DONE. Deep shit

Restless Mind

2009-09-22T05:17:00.006+08:00

Sometimes to make our mind calm is to be restless, dont you agree?
I can't wait to agree that..

My mind is turning and spinning and jumping and rolling off the bed.
I woke up in the night and could sleep no more.
I kept my eyes close but images keep on turning up and so.
Dont be afraid, those images is not people with dark eyes and blood dripping or whatsoever,
It's about my "future",

It's a huge variety of images, triggered by questions like :
What I would be in 10 years time? What engineering should I take on? What is my actual interest?
What will happen tomorrow?(I'm getting something for myself)
Will I get robbed? What should I be careful of?
How should I bargain with the seller? What tactics should I use?
Will my relationship with Shuang last? (this doesn't mean I'm having problem with her. We're totally fine, worry not)
How will my Korea trip turn out to be? Where should I visit? (I have already short listed few places. Now choosing em) Should I book the accommodation in advance?
How's the Langkawi trip gonna be? Should I continue a backpacking trip after Langkawi trip? How will Kedah's paddy field looks like?
How good if Yik Chen and People join me with that?
Who will join? who will not?
How am I going to complete my work during this Holiday? What is my plan could not be followed?
Can I pass AS english? How about AS german? Internal exams?

Hey.. come to think about it, there's so many questions!!
And the list goes on... and on..

I came to a point where.. I realise - I did not think about these when I'm busy, especially I am busy.
I think I did well for myself during the period when Shuang left to Korea - I made myself REALLY busy, I'm serious. I dont have time to think, I did not shed much tears than I thought, except nights like this. In the middle of the Holiday.
Now I'm getting used to it, which is a good thing.

There's always questions in our life, which made it more interesting that ever. I could not deny that, as He made it that way, I guess. Hence, like Esmond said - we have our limitations, He doesn't. We're so powerless.
I have to admit that there's a period of time where I'm too busy with things, that I felt so far from Him, which accompanied me all the time. I believe Esmond knew it, right? Thanks Esmond for being such a good friend with me all the time, good or bad one.

Now, I'll do my part, and let Him decide my tomorrow.

I'm back, and You got my word. Really.

To my Dad, Mum, Brother, Families, Friends,

Life's ever changing and evolving. But there's 1 thing that doesn't change :
It's the bond, between you and me.
I love, and treasure you, for you came into my life and made it different in any way.
And please forgive me for my wrongdoing.

Good night, or morning. Waiting for a beloved call @ 9.00 a.m. :)

Take care, Hui Ning!

2009-09-20T01:21:00.002+08:00

Off you go, take care!

KLIA, Malaysia

Hsien Ming, Teck Wei, Sze Hou.. and me behind the picture

Group photo with Hui Ning's all time teddy bear. All time teddy bear, all time teddy bear. She brought that with her to Scotland, trust me.

Family members. And teddy bear

Definitely proud parents. I'll be proud too.. if I were them.

To prove my point earlier. That's the teddy bear

Take care and keep up ur works.
I'm sorry for not being able to find the key chain
Lets see if 10 years later, if it appears suddenly, then I'd return to you.

Bye..

*Kind of busy lately, now need to massive update pictures..

Back to Library after a year, or so

2009-09-14T14:40:00.003+08:00

I'm back to INTEC's library to study after skipping this huge, cold and icy place for a year. It's very comfortable, at least better than Mc Donald & KFC.(in terms of comfort)

I miss this place, and I'm sitting the exactly same place where Shuang and I used to sit. Ah, miss the times.

Es ist schon vorbei..
Es ist Schnee von gestern..

I'll see how does SNU's library looks like, maybe.

I've seen Jun Haw bragging about how cool is korean's "touch & go" system which could be used even to access to class. How does their library looks like? (Still remember our ministers bragging about introducing the prestigious MyKad as if we could use that to access to Heaven and Hell?)

As for INTEC, i just hope the alarm dont trigger when i walk out this library, which it ALWAYS did, and my laptop beg will be check throughly AGAIN, and AGAIN.

*the writer has used compare and contrast to make some comparison, in order to show the big difference between two countries. One double the size of another, and the second double the modernisation of the first.

Suggestion differed. Damn DX

2009-09-06T19:56:00.001+08:00

Suggestion differed by parent till further discussion. Looks like it's gonna be a long wait.

Hopefully not.

Geez, but at least today i read something about cameras :D

This is a Hate message

2009-09-06T15:23:00.002+08:00

I hate John & Edward. Why?
1) John let me play his dslr @ gathering which made me feel like not touching my compact camera anymore
2) Edward asked me if I wanna but a dslr, which made me think that it is possible to buy a dslr now(looking @ my pocket)

I am sorry for : Dad & Mum + my pocket
1) Because I will trouble them to sponsor me a little
2) My pocket because you gonna bleed very bad.. very very bad..

I am considering Canon 500d(3k+ with lens + accessory) or Nikon D90(4k+ with lens + accessory).
Canon seems to win my heart a little more. I wonder why..

Should get it before Raya, so Raya can snap some pictures with smon and poeple who wants to go around with me.

And i believe spendings on dslrs will not end here. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. we'll see

52th Independence Day of Malaysia

2009-08-30T23:18:00.002+08:00

31st August 2009 marks the 52th Independence Day of Malaysia.

I love Malaysia,
no matter who the ruling party is,
no matter who the opposition is,
no matter how bad the taxi drivers are,
no matter how hot in the afternoon it could be,

no matter how slow the internet could be,
no matter how dirty the klang river could be,

I still love Malaysia,
because of 1 reason :

I am son of Malaysia. 我乃大马子民。Saya anak Malaysia. Ich bin Sohn von Malaysia.

Let us put our hands together and pray for our very own country - Malaysia
Please let it be that :
Your flag will be always flying with glory
You will survive the worst economy crisis ever
You will be wealthy, not only in terms of economy, but cultural and people's mentality
Your rivers will not be polluted
Your government shall not be corrupted
Your internet could be improved and cheaper
Your taxi driver will improve their service
Your laws will be improved
Your health care shall be upgraded
Your universities will made up to, please, at least 200th place in the world
Most importantly.. Your people will be United

Amen..

Lunch with Katie, Philip, Uli & James

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 7 [Back 2 Subang]

2009-08-29T21:28:00.003+08:00

Yes, my trip ends on this very rainy day. Back to home, back to homeworks, back to studies. Life goes on, but i've just made a few colourful chapter of my life.

Thanks Joanne, Chia Han, Jude (although we didn't really meet up), Daniel for the accompany and help and treat and time and so many things for me to mention here. I'm really thankful!

Last view of my Hotel room before we left

Daniel carrying my beg

Really rainy days

Like really rainy

Blogging in the bus.. until 3g coverage is out.

Sorry, no more pictures. The bus left 9.50am and reached Shah Alam 2.55. Almost Exactly 5 hours. Good efficiency I'd say.(Compare to Melaka > Lumut which took me 9 hours) The Company called Konsortium if I not mistaken.

Feels good back to home, and lazy too! Time for homeworks, after finish blogging! :)

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 6 [Penang]

2009-08-29T20:32:00.004+08:00

There's nothing much on this day. It started raining from afternoon till the next day. We visited some places in the morning, and the rest of the day, we eat our way out.

Just woke up..

The town council buildings

Town Hall

Old shoplots

Fort cornwallis

I'm beside Francis Light

Err.. yes that's Daniel

Tourist from China

FOOODDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

epic spelling failure

Chee cheong fan - Nice

Tamyam mee - not nice

Tongfan.. nice

1 hour later, we went to another local shop and took it's laksa. Daniel says it's very nice :

Laksa - like what daniel said, delicious!

Next stop : Prawn mee in another place. Sorry i dont know any of these places. Ask my taxi driver

Freaking delicious. Best!!

Like soooo niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! zomg.. I wanna have it again

So.delicious

We have rojak in kl, they have pasembur

Very delicious too!!!

We checked out our hotel earlier in the day, and went to BayView in Batu Ferrigi

It was raining all the way.. stupid rain made me miss so many nice places

IN Bayview

From the lift

Our new room

too bad it's not facing sea

hahaa

Had some good sleep :

Dinner time! Seafoodddd in a local populated restaurant, beach side

Like normal, coconut drink with seafood :D

It was a SUPERB dinner - all the dishes is just too tasty!!

Kapitan Chicken

Asam fish fillet

No fried sotong here. so...

Nope, we did not stop here. Next stop : Dessert!

What's that expression? I dont know either. maybe constipation

This fella has been busy messaging all day long

Its a small and cozy shop

Hey, they have UiTM in Penang too?

*fill in the name*

Mango ______

Mango _______

Brain freeze

Lord is my shepherd too!

This cute little kitty

Like so cute?

The rain was really heavy that night. We actually feared that we couldn't get back to our hotel. But we did, with some peanuts and orange juice. Seriously, dont take peanuts with orange juice, it just suck to max. Taste really weird.

Last night in Penang, had alot of good foods, really FULL all the time. Special thanks to Daniel!! Thanks alot bro :D

my bus will leave penang at 9.45a.m. the next day.

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 5 [Penang]

2009-08-28T09:57:00.003+08:00

5th Day. I was really exhausted from the cycling in Day 4. But my will to travel is still on. I woke up in the morning to realise that I am late (15 minutes) and both of my arms got really bad sunburned. It is very painful to move my arms itself, forget about carrying my begs.

As I was late, i rushed to dress up myself, and took the last breakfast in Ombak Inn, which is surprisingly better than yesterday's one, maybe because there's other people staying. (Note that the first night, i was all alone in the whole place)

Too bad God wants to teach me a lesson. My planned time was : leaving 9.40 to catch the 10 o clock ferry. And catch the 11 o'clock bus to Penang. I left Ombak Inn at 9.55 am, only to watch the 10 o clock ferry leaves before my eye. Crap, the next one will be 10.45 a.m. And yes, I missed the bus too, after i reached 11.10 at the mainland. The next bus is at 2.00p.m. Yes, laugh all you want. But I learned my lesson(which I always had and repeat it anyway)

Hence, I spent my whole afternoon in a Mamak stall, which over charged me for their Nasi Kandar (Rm5.50 for a little rice and chicken + vege. Picture will be added for prove) With my maxis broadband, I manage to complete a blog post(Pangkor day1).

Tired, I got on the bus on 2.p.m. to Butterworth.

The sadness when I watch the ferry leaves before my eyes

\
Leaving Pangkor in the ferry. Bye Pangkor. I had a great time there.

The weather does'nt looks good though

Stupid shop that over charged me. Geez

Got on the bus to Butterworth, at last..

I met few caucasian in Pangkor, which traveled the exactly same way like how I did to Penang.

The weather started to turn sour later in the day. This sourness remained for the rest of the time, even until this very moment when I'm typing this blog. The rain started when I were half way in the ferry to Penang Island. The wind were VERY strong. Prove will be given later. Almost everyone got wet in the ferry, or at least half wet(me).

The day were still fine

big fat pigeon flew into the ferry

This is how the ferry looks like from out

Bad weather waiting for me in Penang

Find the lines!!

The ferry led us directly into the rain, and against the wind. Initially there were many people standing at the front part of the ferry. Suddenly everyone started to run backwards, as if they spot a gozilla. The big rain stroke the ferry soon before we reach Penang Island. The wind was crazily strong

Creative Penanglang eh!

I stood behind a pillar and saved for getting fully soaked. Upon reaching, I soon meet up with my host in Penang - Daniel Tay outside the ferry station. My friend over here took good care of me for the rest of the Penang Time with good food, comfortable hotel rooms and good transport and a good accompany!

We went straight into my hotel - City Bayview

from the hotel

Hotel room & no, I dont gay with him

Went out to MAKAN around Penang. Since the weather isn't good, the whole Penang trip was majorly focusing on Eating, eating & eating.

My taxi in Penang

Oldest KFC

The hawker centre that's facing the sea

FOODS & Drinks:

Prawn mee.. taste like Lick Hung's prawn mee!! Omg.. the taste is like exactly the same!

Apfelsaß

honey roasted chicken wings - delicious

Char kuey teow! not very special though

Curry Mee! Not bad.

Sorry! Rejected

Look @ the face!

Fried Oyster - ok-larh

Satay - not bad

Daniel with his satay

Then, we head back to out hotel. Changed our clothes and drove to gurney drive to get me a suitable clothes(yes, all i have is jakoon clothes), for the clubs at night.

Took some night scenes from my hotel room itself

some decorations in lobby

Dan, what shopping mall was this?

Got myself a white formal

Yes, the kampung boy

I have to admit that they have a largest changing room I've ever seen till now

Paying for the clothes

They have a place for kids to hang out..
This is really one of the best parkson I've seen

Got myself a aloe vera gel for my sunburned skin..

It's like ouccchhhh

Then we went back hotel, again, since the night clubs area is just around the hotel. It was still early, so he walked around the area before going to these clubs

Daniel became my hair stylist

Daniel taking picture

My turn

The night club street before anything's on action

we actually planned to go this one, but we changed our decision later to MOIS.

E&O hotel - one of the best in Penang. With hundred of years of history.

Posing posing

Inside E&O

Posing

Better, isnt?

the carpet..

Why do I have so many picture of daniel? >.>

CIS

Looks like my arms, isnt? :D

At the roadsides..

Some Indian Cinema. Wow, traditional one

Inside the cinema

The tickets cost as expensive as those we have in Sunway Pyramid.

Yes, they have Mydin here too!

some steamed peanuts and jagung

As I was about to take a 2nd shot, someone came in..

You really can find such shops over here. Like people stop by just to get a drink? Like.. wow

Tarikkkkk!!!

The empty streets at night

We have old town.. now we have Old House!! Superrr

Like.. cool?

Uptown bistro, we heard those someone singing cantonese though

Die Welle!! (the wave)

Yes, this is the place where we wasted our Rm 35

The only place in Penang where Night Life's on

After drinking a bottle of Carlsberg, I practically have nothing to do in MOIS. The guys out numbered the ladies. It was lady's night, mind you. There was a sexy dance competition, which wasn't so sexy after all, not the dance, you know. Daniel and I ended up outside the club chatting soon after we finish our bottle. So yeah.. AT LEAST I've been to Penang's club. +_=

Before going back to Hotel for a sleep, we went to a mamak to fill our empty stomach.

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 4 [Pangkor] part 2

2009-08-27T09:54:00.006+08:00

Then, I came to a place when people are building ships. These ships are meant for fishing only. And it takes a whole 3 months to produce a working ship! Such a long time..
The owner were friendly and allowed me to take some pictures

Wooddsss

The forming ship

say hi!~

So many man power just to move it

Benchwork people.. get on ur coat!

Turning red..

Crazy up hill..

up hill again. I really envy those people with motorbikes

Still a long way to go..

Enjoy some scenery

Fuyoh

Then, i continue my track till i smell something bad. Really bad. Worst smell of the century. It's here. Careful if you wanna cycle. You might consider bring a oxygen tank

Peacock spotted!

Uphill again..

The tired and reluctant face

2nd stop in climbing..

Such a long way to go!!

Pangkor airport

I managed to cross the hilly north part. I reached the last beach before Teluk Nipah - Coral Bay

Here, I rested to have a drink, took a meal (cost me RM29)
Ice lemon tea, beautiful beach, good weather, some books and homework - what else could be better?

I ate in this cafe

from the place i sit

Rm26 - Baracuda fish. Very delicious, or I am too hungry, or both

Along with the Malaysia's independence celebration..

That's how the restaurant looks like when you look at it from the beach

Here, I met few people. They're Katie, Philip and Ulrike.

Katie & Philip playing.. what's that?

Katie is english, and Philip is irish. Lovely couple

Met Mr.. Suresh or smth?

sorry, i forgotten your name. But I know he's working as engineer in research department of IBM. Great to meet different people when you're traveling alone.

Philip, Ulrike, Katie
Ulrike is from Germany, Baden Wütternberg.
It was a coincidence, which I met them later in a beach-side restaurant and we had a few beer together. Nice to listen to them about happenings and things about foreign country

Why am I so short? shoott...

Coral Bay

After finishing a AS english commentary homework, I left Coral Bay, satisfied with the relaxing time. Went back to my room to take a bath, and ready for sunset. The sky seemed to be OK for sunset. It was just 6.00. Hence, I it's time to sit beside the beach(went back to teluk ketapang for nice sunset) and do nothing!! And take some pictures..

Just pictures :

Small crab

sexy legs, or rather hairy

love for..

SHUANG!!

sleeping with "Shuang"

Sun's going into the sea!

This family joined me later in the day

Here the serious work starts

Okay, enough with these pictures, the better ones :

Took picture for this family..
TO : The family in this picture
Please message me / email me, i'll send you the full size picture if you want

Bye.. sun

To my surprise, the sky become even nicer after the sun went down :

find the lines

Find the lines

SORRY FOR EXCESSIVE PICTURE ONLY FOR SUNSET

Nothing much in the night. I met Ulrike, Philip and Katie once again, like i mentioned before, in a Malay Restaurant. I had some beer together in their place later in the night.
Thanks to traveling alone.

My dinner. each cost rm3. Rm7 in total

While drinking beer in Seagull resort, we were visited by this insects, the green beetle. We talked alot about anything, from politics to cultural to people. It was really fun to know some new things about other land or the foreign land that I'm about to go, hopefully. It's also good to reveal something about Malaysia, which normally foreigners don't know, like caning in chinese primary school.

It was a really tiring day, but I see & learn many different things in just this day itself. Inspiring. And yes, I missed Shuang. Ah! How good is it if we could enjoy the sunset together. Well, next time then!

The next day will be - to Penang!

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 4 [Pangkor] part 1

2009-08-27T03:04:00.005+08:00

After a good sleep on the comfortable bed. Woke up in the morning to get things going. Today's plan :

1) Cycle the whole island
2) Enjoy the Island, and the people
3) Rest beside the beach, have a ice lemon tea and enjoy some nice musics
4) Watch the sunset

As a short introduction, all of them are done by the end of the day. With something extra :)

First of, the departure from my room :

Watch my arm colour

Leaving the room

Around Ombak Inn

Around Ombak Inn

Around Ombak Inn

My breakfast. Breads, scramble eggs, jam, butter, coffee and with two pack of sugars and creams

First visit : Teluk Nipah, which is just walking distance from my room

It is one of the most on-going beach in Pangkor. Bu hey, look at the crowd. I LOVE IT.

with my bike

Closer shot to the sea

For lonely feeling purpose, which failed

That's the equipment i will carry for the whole day.

Teluk Nipah is really a long stretch of beach

Apparently, they're sending Ice to some other places!

The wave were still strong

Yup, the sky is clear. I confirmed that once more

Just look at the emptiness. Even the beach boy's not here

Just before i move on

The forest in the island

Before reaching Teluk Katapang

Found this footprint on the beach

2nd type of foot print found

Teluk ketapang

Clear sky. nice weather

Then, just as I think, YES, I'm alone, no Joanne, then..
I found a same species of her with me :

Still cant see? closer now

Joanne No1

And there's two Joanne! Rawr!!

Joanne no3

Back to the first one

Woah, fierce

after chasing Joannes away, i took a ss picture

Out of a sudden, i heard someone touching my beg. The Joanne no1's back! It even tried to tear my beg open by force! There's a mark of teeth on my beg! Once again, chase them away with my Tripod. These creatures are really not afraid of humans

At times, Joanne no1 was reluctant to back off and showed me teeth as if to challenge me for a fight. I politely ask them to leave while i swing my Tripod here and there. They left, because of my tripod or my politeness? I dont know

Moved on from the Joannes :

Then, I met another group a people cycling. Seems that they stayed in Pangkor Island resort, which is much north of Teluk Nipah

3 of them

The so-called look-out point which is practically empty. You cant see anything either

Steep stairs

From the top

Reaching Pasir Bogak

Prove!!

After sweating a little, time to get recharged!

brought them from this mini market in Pasir Bogak. same thing goes around, the beach's empty

Then I met the kid which I met when I took the ferry to Pangkor

Darwin & Prusya

With me inside

They're the locals here

Their bike. Cute kids, i gave them a pack of sweet

Stalked this family playing in Pasir Bogak

After cycling a littler further, before i reach the Pangkor town, brought a ice cream from a motorbike seller

Chinese school

The road to Pangkor town

This is the Public Library! zomg

I turned right to Teluk Gedong, instead of Left to go back to Teluk Nipah.

Passing by the town area

PAS

Some jetty used for fishing purpose

The dirtiness...

I dont dare to proceed further as the woods doesnt feel strong at all

Rubbish! Quote Mrs Kiran

The houses.. Be grateful people

This small stall, set up by this lady in front of her house. The life in Pangkor seemed to be very slow going and nothing's really hectic here. Maybe it's because of the fasting month.

The more "insecure" jetty. It feels like it's gonna collapse everytime i step on it

Rest at this stop.

Ok, bio students, do the explanation

Better view

The Dutch fort. The dutch came to pangkor back in 300 years back, but was chased away by the locals.

forever with the canons

This is a meaningless stone. ignore it

On the way back to Pangkor Town, I saw this man was working on a cage. So I stopped by to ask about it and request to take some pictures. He was friendly and told me about the cages and so

Cute girl

The ready made one

The entrance of death for the fishes

Before leaving, i took a picture with the lil girl

Then i continue my track - passing by Pangkor town and two villages, and a big turn and reach Coral Bay before reaching Teluk Nipah

Just passed by..

Looks like they're praying to the tree..

brought an italk card to call Shuang!!

Took a chinese tea and tapau this two cha siu pau to eat later

temple

SPK street

Fish processing factory

Getting too tired here. Maybe I'll continue tomorrow. Currently in Penang.

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 3 [Pangkor] part 2

2009-08-26T12:04:00.003+08:00

WARNING : THERE WILL BE LOTS OF PICTURE OF YONG CHEN LIANG HIMSELF AS HE IS TRAVELLING ALONE. IF YOU DISLIKE THE LOOK OF THIS FELLA, PLEASE LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, OR IT GONNA SUFFOCATE YOU.

Things got bad to worse as the day goes on. First, the bus did not go directly to Lumut. It stoped at Seremban, Pudu, Ipoh, then Lumut. The whole journey took me 9 hours. Yes, 9 hours. From 9.30 I board the bus, i reached at 7.10 p.m. It's dead boring. I done a AS essay, finished my laptop's battery. And sleep for the rest of the day. Luckily, the bus is very comfortable.

It's quite fun to look at people around you. Snapping pictures might be offensive at times. But with my very own eyes, in this bus itself I've seen so many things. Separation, Gathering. Next to me was a Malay lady, rushing to Lumut for fast breaking. They had few kids with them. These kids are quite cute. Although quite noisy, but I'm fine with it.

The bus is quite empty. Only 2 passenger include myself stop at Lumut. The others got down the bus in Pudu, Ipoh. No wonder, if they dont do stoppings, I guess the bus company gonna lose it's profit.

Nevertheless, it rained. I'm fine with it after the bus driver told me I'll be in Lumut at 7. Which means, no more Sunset for me. Some pictures of this 9 hours journey, in the bus.

Cute lil baby

Jamming in KL

Thanks Joanne for the biscuits. That my Breakfast + lunch. I brought something later in the evening

Along the highway

Great weather ahead.

Misty

For some reason, I spent quite some time just to look at these water drops flowing outside the window
Yes, it brought some sadness. especially my ipod always plays some emo songs. It brought back some memories, sweet or bitter.

I guess this Pangkor trip, alone, is for me to reflect myself. I think deeply into myself. It've been a long time since i allow myself some time to be alone, and think quietly. This is the time.

Wooden house before reaching Lumut

careful, it's gonna transform

I really enjoy these peaceful looks

That's a big church, although I dont know what church is it

The family that sat beside me all the way to Lumut. Thank God they made it before the fast breaking time

Upon reaching Lumut, I snap a few pictures before i proceed to the jetty, which is within 2 minutes walking distance. With all my heavy begs, i pass by some local restaurants that is filled with Flies. Disgusting.

Some meaningless decorative in front the Jetty

The right side is the bus station.

Walking towards jetty

The heavy clouds blocks the sun ray

I brought a ticket which cost only Rm10 (To and back)

Took this on the ferry

Interior look of the ferry

Exterior look

Locals sending vegetable to Pangkor Island

Time to introduce my Beg -

Everything's inside. Laptop to shoe. All

In the ferry.

I met one local kid here. His name is Darwin

Emo a little

Looks like I got someone to replace Joanne

Most of them are locals

At the very top of the ferry

Night view + 1.5 sec exposure

Say whatever you like.

Met this young couple with their daughter here. Sadly I didnt meet them later in the Island. They have a cute daughter. Friendly couple.

Without me knowing.. the darkness has swallowed the sun. Everything's getting darker and darker

Upon reaching the island, I took the "pink cab" which is the only cab service in the island. It cost me a killing Rm12 one way, mostly because I'm alone. But who cares, it's night and I've a heavy beg on my back. I want to get to my room.

I've read Lonely Planet about the accommodation in Pangkor, and it seems that the budget accommodation are mostly in Teluk Nipah. I requested to be sent to Ombak Inn, which I've read about in Lonely Planet.

My "Taxi"

With my driver. It's not a free one like Joanne. Too bad :(

With a quick deal, the Inn owner, a friendly english speaking Malay lady and I agreed on RM50 per night with breakfast served. It's a good deal to me. I got a queen size bed, and all the basic needs. I paid RM100 immediately, and got into my room. They also, too offer bicycle renting service! I'll try that the next day.

Ombak Inn - Good one

My room :

The bed. Comfortable one. Makes me sleep like pig

Complete, no?

Toilet is just nice for me. Cold shower is fine for me since I've been taking cold shower every morning.

Everything is just in the right place.

Time to try getting online and contact Shuang. I promised to call her in the evening but it seems that I couldn't get through. So now trying my luck with the internet connection.

No luck, the internet is only GPRS. (I'm talking about line connection. I'm using Maxis 3G but no 3g is available here. Only GPRS. Too slow.) But I managed to talk to Shuang for awhile, and my stomach started roaring. I got my stuff ready, took a bath and went to have my dinner. It was around 9.30 p.m.

To my surprise, Pangkor Island is SO EMPTY. It's really empty to a extend you dont really see anyone on the street. Besides some foreigners drinking beer at some roadside restaurants, and a burger stall, and 2 mini market. By 11 they're too, closed. I went to a chinese restaurant near my hostel, and ordered Fried Rice.

Empty streets

Milo!

Fried rice. Yummy, because I'm hungry. I still miss Melaka food though. Dammit!

Some picture of the restuarant

Once again, the empty street of Teluk Nipah.

Internet cafe - I plan to blog here. It only cost Rm2 per hour if I use my own laptop, which I prefer anyway.

The only burger shop open in the night.

Ordered a burger to chew on

Surau in Teluk Nipah. :)

Alright. There nothing much more for the day. It's just a long journey of bus, and a night view of Teluk Nipah.
The following will be some pictures I took, since I've enough sleep in the bus, i decided to just hang around at the beach, which I have not seen it yet, just listening to the roar of the wind, and the splash of the water. Superb, relaxing, and memories is triggered.

A military ship in the sea

with higher exposure

Empty and lifeless beach

Which handsome's shadow?

Woah!!

The wave was strong. The rain just stoped. That's why

I went back to my room to have a good rest for the next day, which will be extremely tiring. Pangkor island, because of the Fasting Month, is very quiet and peaceful.

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 3 [Pangkor] part 1

2009-08-24T11:08:00.004+08:00

Good morning with a cooling weather in Melaka made me resist to wake up, but I am eager to take good pictures in Pangkor, so I forced my heavy body up at 8.30 A.m. My bus to Lumut will be leaving Melaka Sentral on 9.30. I didnt take any heavy breakfast today, just a glass of milk, donated by Joanne Tay, and I'm off to Melaka Sentral. Thanks to Joanne's brother, Shermon for the transport!

I am amazed with the punctualness of the Bus. I arrive around 9.20 and the bus is already there waiting for me. Thank goodness that the bus is very empty, it didnt wait long and leave slightly after 9.30. It's not a new bus, but it's a comfortable bus with a kind and helpful driver. The company called Kesatuan Ekspress. The bus ticket cost a bomb of RM40.30.

Soon after I board the bus, my stomach didnt act well. I asked the driver to stop at the next rest station, and he did. Now I'm relieved. I'm blogging here with my laptop, and my 3g modem which allows me to online anywhere, as long as there's maxis coverage. Great devices, I'm very grateful. I'm planning to do my AS english essays now, afraid that I might not be able to finish them in time. Still have at least 5-6 hours to reach Lumut. Hope I can catch the Sunset in Pangkor. Hopefully!!!

Comfortable seats, no faul smell

Beach mood already

Heavy development in Melaka

Emo picture

Take two..

Alright, signing off. Next blogging time will be at night, i suppose. Chaoz.

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 2 [Melaka]

2009-08-23T18:13:00.003+08:00

Slept till 11am. Blog till 1p.m. I spent my morning in Joanne's house writing blog and eating delicious Nasi Lemak with Ikan Kampung, fried by Joanne's mum.

Okay, left Hotel at 2p.m. to...

It's famous for local products, and it's expensiveness

I brought some coconut biscuit there. Just one because it is over priced!! Geez. Small packet cost rm5. Well, it's a tourist attraction, what do we expect?
Then, we continue to Melaka Raya again, because today I wanna visit Temples. We spent sometime in Jonker street, which I didnt recognise at first sight. It's totally different! Gosh. Oh, today I met Vei Vern too! What a coincidence. Maybe I might met someone I know in Pangkor? Hopefully :D

Melaka Raya is really a village with a story, in a city. These houses are just behind Jonker Street!

Alright, THIS is jonker street

compare to :

Big difference, no?

Brought this drink : Lyche + Honeydew

Very delicious. I know Shuang will love this..

This is the laksa that I ate last night. VERY DELICIOUS! HIGHLY RECOMMANDED, ESPECIALLY BABA LAKSA

The making of Gula Melaka, homemade :

Brought 1 packet. Can give Daniel's mum.

Enjoy the architecture in Jalan Tokong of Melaka Raya. It's really Jalan TOKONG

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

Who can read that? I cant.. :(

I dont know what people say it in English. In mandarin : 求签

God of Tiger

Dunno what is this though..

I think there used to be something on this..

Korean tourist.. showed a V when they took picture with the dead person altar

Can someone explain please?

I dont know if this is a tradition, but I saw a when local middle aged man cycle passed the temple, he stoped his bicycle and pray towards the temple, and continue his ride. Impressive, but my camera skill ain't fast enough

After the Tokong congested area

These shit like looking things are actually used to take bath.. hell

Bird on a islam building

The old mix with the new. Astro, great

Before we leave, we have our "tea break" at this famous Chicken rice ball. Beware : There's another two shops which sell the exactly same thing in this area.

Thinking of boyfriend..

There's a story to be told here.
The food were served in a fast pace. Then a conversation started by Joanne
J : Eh, why don't eat?
C.L : Eat? Waiting for rice lah!
J : What? That one is rice lah! (Pointing at the rice balls)
C.L : Huh? Really meh? I tot that one is chicken ball?
J : ....
Then we start to eat

To be, nothing really that special. Joanne says it lose it's standard today. Huhu.. maybe next time I'll have to try again.

The mistaken RICE BALL

Joanne's Art work

After the meal :

Again. She's really a person of everything, except patience.

two jakuns were amused when they saw a Foreigner in a taxi

Nothing much after that, we head back to Hotel, and rest for almost a hour. Then, my Driver No2 and Model arrived. Now, my tour guide, and driver become my Model for the rest of the day. View the pictures to believe.

We plan to have a seafood dinner at the Portuguese Settlement, and then go for River cruise, lastly Eye on Malaysia. I wanted to get a picture of sunset in Portuguese Settlement, but as I left my Memory Card at Hotel, we have to make a U-turn, which delayed and missed the sunset. But nevertheless, the scenery is still delicious!

Best School in Melaka - By Chia Han

Just do it!

I miss the sunset X.x

Ahhh..

Shit, ugly hair zomg

Find the lines

The luck of having local friends : You get to taste the best local food in town. This is it!

The right side one!

Help me describe this please

Messaging bf

Then dream of it

The moon, was smaller in my eye than in my camera.. Lol

Then the meal starts!!

and i was served with a coconut without it's flesh. Managed to get a new one though

great one, very crispy. But so-so compare to those restaurants I used to go and eat in Subang Airport.

The crab is REALLY DELICIOUS, and very very very fresh. Delicious, and expensive

saliva dripping

Melaka Otak-Otak. No, doesnt made using brains. It's fish. Ok-lah.

After the meal, as planned, we continue our journey to the River Cruise. As when we reach that "jetty", the Cruises just left. So we waited for 30 minutes or so. Of course, we don't waste our time sitting on the benches.
This is a very memorable River Cruise, and please, Melaka's River cruise is only good at NIGHT. You'll see why :

Filled with pplz

From here on are all pictures only :

dead fish..

Dont laugh, at least try to :

she actually don't meant to do it. But i just snapped the picture when she "practiced"
Closer.. :

Emo emo emo emo
Emo session starts :

....

Chia Han : what should i say..

Joanne : We should break up..
T.T

Joanne : Alright?

On Cruise with EMO session :

Eye on Malaysia

back on ground

Took picture with Mr A and Mrs A

It's embarrasing that we forgotten to ask their name. We had a small conversation before we left the place.
Mr A or Mrs A, please leave a message on my Cbox or comment yah :) I can send you the full size picture, this is the resized one.

After the river cruise, we head back to my Hotel, because it seems that a thunder storm is gonna strike Melaka. It's raining cats and dogs outside now. Alright, time to pack my stuff and prepare my early bus to Lumut, which I will go to Pangkor from there.

Here I would wanna thank few person :

Joanne Tay - For being tour guide, driver, assistant, model & a great friend!
Joanne Tay's family - For allowing my stay - accommodation
Chia Han - For bring my driver and model and a great friend!
My family - for supporting my whole idea of backpacking
Myself - for nothing :D

A short introduction of Ruby :

A dog.

Good night! It'd be wonderful is Shuang's with me in the cruise. It's very romantic, and makes the lonely people feel lonelier. Shit =.=

To Jia :
Take care ok! Do call me if you want :)

Nights

Backpack Trip 1 - Day 1 [Melaka]

2009-08-23T00:39:00.004+08:00

It was a bad start. Heavy rain, forgotten to bring GPS, heavy rain, heavy rain. Geez! Bus was late for 20 minutes, although it was expected. I manage to sit in the bottom floor of the bus. Unfortunately, the person sat beside me drank some beer before he enter the bus, and I ended smelling the beer smell throughout the whole journey.
The rain was really heavy, many accidents happened in the north south highway. My family's camry almost kaputt too! My bro told me that a Land Rover skidded and went over to his lane, almost made a head-on collision. Well, God Bless, it did not happen.

Heavy rain in Shah Alam

waiting..

waiting..

waiting..

At last!!!

Trying to be a gentlemen, I make sure all the elderly auntie boarded the bus before me. Got myself half wet though..

Some accidents :

After taking a 2 hour bus, from 1.05 - 3.05p.m. I arrived at Melaka Sentral. It is a beautiful bus stop indeed. Will take picture of that bus stop when I go Lumut on Monday. After buying the bus ticket to Lumut, Rm40.30, I met up with my driver, tour guide and assistant - Joanne.

Manipal is very near to my hotel

My villa. Damn nice

Yes, you guessed it, my driver, tour guide and assistant.

After refreshing in the hotel. Around 4.30 pm, I headed out to Melaka Raya with my tour guide. We parked the car in Melaka Medical Centre and walked to Stadhuys. Along the way we saw A' Famosa, St. Paul's Church...

My tour guide brought her own boyfriend. damn~ dating while working @.@

A place close to Dataran Pahlawan.

Some special architecture

This place is like a big round-a-bout. The architecture is impressive but the place is kind of quiet

The design of the floor along the round-a-bout

Then, we reached Dataran Merdeka, where our very first prime minister announced the independence of Malaysia, in Melaka.

I am amazed to learn that this whole land is actually a refilled land!

And this wasn't really the "Dataran Merdeka" which mentioned in history. The actual land is actually destroyed and build with shopping malls. Now, this is so call a "replacement" for it. Sad, isnt?

Muzium of independence, it was under renovation. So I didnt bother to walk in.

Then we saw this two cute little thingy beside the Muzium, printed "Hang Jebat & Tuah" on it. I wonder if they were to name all the military vehicles with these names.. I'll really get confused.

Hang Jebat

Hang Tuah

Zomg Jakun!!

A' famosa. A block with great history behind. I wonder how many blood and life has been spilled over this wealthy land in the past. It was also a grief that the walls has been demolished by the Dutch.

Is that for a bell?

pose pose

A man with a shield and sword, and a women with a wheat.. this makes me felt the history of Melaka.. deeply

This is what happen when the tour guide brings her boyfriend. You get to snap their picture.. tsk tsk XD

It's quite windy over here, even the trees bend :D

A'Famosa from behind

Again..

Maybe they're bored.. waiting for me taking pictures

This way leads us to St. Paul church on the hill top

EVERYONE here is holding a big DSLR. Except me with my lovely Fujifilm f100fd XD
Look at the guy behind the camera man XD

View of Melaka from hilltop - in day time.
Joanne kept on telling me it's nicer when it's at night, we'll see then

Menara Taming Sari
What is Taming Sari? It's the Keris used by Hang Tuah? The legendary keris which said to be unbeatable

Everything's nice except the rubbish bin

St. Paul church. A church built by Portuguese, taken over by Dutch and fall into the Hand of British. It is one of the oldest church in Melaka, but it is no longer functioning. The church actually has it's tower, but it was demolished by British and a light house was built.
Now, as sea near the St. Paul church has been refilled, it makes no purpose anymore.

The Cheng Ho Cultural Muzium

St Francis Xavier's Statue infront of St.Paul Church
Tour guide's Boyfriend told me that there's a story behind the statue's broken hand
Francis Xavier is known as a great person in faith, and was highly respected throught out India. He regularly visited Melaka, and stayed in St.Paul.
When he died, his body was first buried in Melaka, in st.paul itself. Everyone wanted him and it seems that someone cut his hand off.
When the statue was made, the hand fall off the statue..
Anyway, Francis Xavier's body was sent to Goa, India 9 months after he was buried in Melaka.
It's the belief of the locals

St. Paul with Francis Xavier

The toe is missing too!! Is there another story for it?

When i visit these places, I'm eager to feel what happened in these historical places. All these buildings are significantly important to the people in the older times.. So much to think and feel

Saw this two guy singing in the church. Gave them RM4 for a lively atmosphere

One of the best picture I took today

Reluctantly, I left St. Paul Church. The atmosphere there was really good, windy, songs, along with impressive buildings and stories..

Stadthuys.. :( the muzium is closed when we reached. It was late already

Just enjoy the architecture and the redness!!

Christ Church is built by the Dutch in 1700s

Flowers infront of the Christ Church

The water fountain infront of Christ church

melaka river

This used to be a public toilet. Yes, it goes straight into the river.

Walking across the bridge..

After a long walk, we're thirsty and a little hungry. To satisfy ourselves..

Nyonya pandan blablabla.. i forgoten it's name

Brought some for my host family

It have a fish shape.. cute huh?

I'd say the taste is good. The pandan taste is just nice, not too strong

Cendol!!

Very innovative! I can eat while walking actually, with the handle and the spoon

doesnt look good above, but it's actually OK-lah

I'll come back here in the night. It's known for the crowd at night

From this point, I'm all walking alone. Joanne has to send his bf back and pick up his brother. I'm happy with it too!

All these buildings are along Jalan Tan Cheng Lok

After a walk, i took a rest in this lovely and chilling cafe. I ordered Kopi Melaka

It serves 13 state's Kopi.. I didnt know there's so many types X.X

Connecting to Jonker's Street, The vendors are setting up their stalls

This place is about to be filled with People!

This makes me remind of Shuang, when we both loved to buy these eggs and eat together..

Joanne says it doesnt taste good..

Every weekends, there will be some function going on in Jonker's street. Although nothing raelly impressive

Tamil Methodist Church

Joanne called and wanted to meet me up infront of the Christ Church. So i ran back and crossed the bridge to meet her up

The day's over and the night's taking over. Melaka is changing it's image

I board on her car after snapping these pictures with my tripod, we went to look for parking.
We parked the car infront of Menara Taming Sari. And walked all the way back to Jonker's Street. Along the way, I was impressed once again with the lightings of Melaka

Cheng Ho Cultural Muzium

@ river side

It's better off without the two person

Yes, it is very romantic.. Shuang :(

Acting Emo!!! Shuang~~

Walking in the Jonker street.. The whole street, unlike in the evening, is filled with humans.. Flooded with people!! And they walk SLOW

Some ss picture

And yes, i tasted the best Laksa in Melaka. Both Nyonya laksa and Baba Laksa. It taste really good!! I forgotten to take the picture of the shpo, but the worked instead X.X

Geographer's cafe - A place where locals and foreigners go for a drink and enjoy the atmosphere, music, people..

Kids

We finished our Jonker's walk and walking back to Menara Taming Sari, to enjoy the night view of Melaka. We met up with Joanne's friend, Bhavik before going up the tower. It is a tower that is turning very slowly and you could enjoy the night views of Melaka. It's 80 Metre tall. We manage to get into the last ride of the day!

AHHHHH what's that???

Inside Menara Taming Sari :

eye on Malaysia

Joanne and Bhavik

Jakun and Joanne (JJ)

After Menara Taming Sari, My camera's battery is running low. Nevertheless, I'm still eager to see Melaka from the St.Paul Church.. Pity these two person which have to follow me walk here and there, or climb

Impressive views of Melaka From St.Paul Church, which I've been to this evening.

8s

Last picture of the day. Battery died.

Went back to Hotel after that. I dropped my camera from my lap, and it's dented. Luckily.. it's still functioning!
My Tripod has broken into pieces. Maybe it's time to get a new one.. Huhuhu..
Without the tripod, means no night view!! I'm satisfied though. :)

My first Journey begins Today..

2009-08-22T03:16:00.003+08:00

Holiday's here. Yes, we've many studies to be done during this 1 week mid-semester break. But my heart to travel will not die just because of that. Next week we'll have exam, next next week we'll have exam, it will never ends. Why stop because of these?

I convinced myself, and I will start my journey Today. Yes it's 3 in the morning, I'm packing my stuff. I'm gonna start my very first own Backpacking Journey. It's a short one, will last maximum 7 Days.

From Shah Alam > Melaka > Lumut > Pangkor > Penang.

I'm traveling alone, and meeting up friends at few destinations.
I am looking forward to it, but I do not deny that I will have to face some challenges that I did not thought of, but that's the whole point of it. To learn, through walking, with my two feet, and a beg behind me, I want to see things differently.

I used to travel with my families and my friends. We'll always get into a car / aeroplane and head straight to the desired destinations. This time, I am going to enjoy the whole journey.

Bus, train, walking, bicycle, friend's car.
It's a whole new experience for me, whole new journey, whole new learning..

I will update my Blog very frequently, for the trip. I try to update my blog if I could. I'm running short of time so I will not mention about what I will bring..

Alright, signing off now. Have a few piece of writing to be done. God bless, me and my Journey!

Time to work like machine

2009-08-19T13:22:00.002+08:00

There's still so many studies that i have not catched up.. The lazy worm is getting stronger in my body. I have 24 hours a day, and i probably spent half of it, wasting on things that I would not, if I'm in my 1st / 2nd semester. Something is not right with me. Something is lacking. Something called - discipline.

Mid-sem break is next week, and i will be on a vacation trip along the west coast of Malaysia. I've been looking forward to this break, because I've planed so much for it. It's a time for me to get charged, but a problem arise in my mind. Why do i need to get charged? When i've not used my batteries, which i suppose to.

So i've decided no point complaining now. Better use the days i have now to complete as much as i could. And enjoy a holiday, with 1 chemistry book along.

wenn ich verschwinde..

2009-08-18T23:10:00.004+08:00

I cant write it down. Mixed and confused.. what? why? How?

After all, who's on my back? I'm loosing my ground.

I hate Pendrive's virus

2009-08-18T01:07:00.002+08:00

Dont poke it around, seriously, your pendrive.
It spreads virus like cake!

Today I took Smon's pendrive and poke it into my laptop, and guess what? 22 virus detected by Norton antivirus.

Norton manage to clean 1 virus, and asked me to restart my laptop. After restarting and rescanning, it only manage to detect 3 virus, which means that there's 18 left inside my laptop! And they're dissapeared!

Crazy Virus!! My laptop is now slow, and hangs occasionally. My explorer.exe seems to be very busy at times.. Looks like my next reformat has been brought forward by 1 month. Geez. The worst thing is, Mysterious folders appears in my System, even in D and E drives!!

I'm not blaming anyone here. Just becareful when you wanna poke ur laptop, make sure you play it safe! Huhu..

Enjoy your trip!

2009-08-16T01:39:00.003+08:00

Shuang's going Busan for 2 days! I'm dead jealous of it but it's Okay! I'm having my trip too, just a few days later!! XD Be safe, and enjoy your journey, and snap picture so i can upload it!!

I'll be sending dad to lcct again, this time he's going to Taiwan. Please make sure bring my Specs, cause my gps is with my bro. X.X

Driving blindly, literally

2009-08-09T07:25:00.005+08:00

I'm alive, and I'm damn grateful! Damn.. grateful.

I still cannot believe I'm sitting here typing this. Today morning, I woke up 4.30 to send my dad to airport. He will drive to airport, and I will drive the car back. And I'm alive, really!

"I left my specs on the table" and my power of both eyes are between 250 to 300

My dad woke me up in LCCT, and I know I am in a big trouble.. I pretended nothing happened, and sent my dad off with a smile. And sit in the car, starring out of the window.. looking at the blurrrrr world around me. I tell myself, "I've to do it this time"

The worst thing is, I did not bring my Garmin GPS. Life would be much easier if i have it with me, i just need to listen to the command of the GPS and reach home safely. But now, no, i'm alone.

The things i brought are : my ipod, camera, phone, wallet, and a half-full tank of petrol.

The first mistake, i took the wrong turning and went into the LCCT parking lot. Paid RM2 for the tickets, make a round and came out. This is a SMALL mistake.

After making a round in the carpark, i manage to struggle out LCCT and followed "Kuala Lumpur" sign. It's VERY hard for me to see the signboards. I have to brake to 25-35 km/h to see the signboard, hardly.

Good things doesnt stay long, i made a wrong turning, followed the sign "Kuala Lumpur / Cyberjaya / Putrajaya". I thought it was the right one, but the small roads in that way told me that it's the wrong way. And I'm in big trouble, now.

I dont know where am I.

As i missed a few signboards previously, either i see it when i get too close to the junction, or i dont see it at all. Signboards are too blur, especially at night!

So I came up with an idea to see the signboards. At every single big signboards that shows the way, I will put on the hazard signal, and take out my camera, and read it. It's very useful! My camera can focus the signboards that are so far away. And I read it directly from my camera. In the highway, i even drove with my hand holding my camera.

After stopping few times, asked a Kind and Helpful and Friendly Indian Lady, i managed to end up in Federal Highway, and I started to recognise the roads from there, which leads me straight back to home.

My hands were sweating so hard when I lose my way. I think I went from LCCT > Putrajaya > Ampang/Cheras > Subang Jaya
A journey that suppose to take only less than 30 minutes, took me 1 and half hour.

I wanted to thank the person who invented spectacles. But after a little googling, The answer I got is : http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070723070623AA2EMwn
Whoever is it, Thank You for making such a nice invention, which made my life easier, and looks cooler(need quotation) xD

And Thanks, fujifilm for making such a nice, multipurpose camera for me.

I'm grateful and blessed, abundantly! I'm alive.

Sleeping Habit

2009-08-07T06:35:00.003+08:00

Holiday Ending Syndrom [HES]

2009-08-01T01:50:00.003+08:00

Yes, i have them NOW. I'm in a mess. A pile of homework, computer with virusES, messy hostel, and lots of revision to be done.

I got the Lazy & Procrastination Disease [LPD] earlier, while i was busy with the film shooting and German week. Then, the "H1N1 quarantine" is announced and i had a 1 week break. For the past few days, i've been spending my days sleeping for 12 hours and the remainder used for internet surfing, chatting, hanging out with friends, reading some megazines and newspaper. And now, I'm suffering the final effect : HES

So I decided to stop all these, and start all over. I NEED TO START THIS OLD PROTON ENGINE. Dammit.

Things to be done :
1) Reformat my laptop
2) Clean up my room
3) Finish off my homework
4) Reorganise my hostel study desk
5) Learn some German

Looks like weekends ahead will be packed.

My things are done. My mind's not..

2009-07-26T02:20:00.002+08:00

I miss you, Shuang!!

I'd love to apologize to my beloved Parents, brother and friends whom has been troubled for my event. Thank you!!

You are deeply missed

2009-07-13T00:09:00.005+08:00

I've been very busy lately, but I never forget the time I would spend to miss you, everyday. No matter how tired I am.. I still miss you..

There's time where I'm really fully occupied with all the works and stuff, especially lately. It's almost 48 hours since I last talked to you. I'm totally exhausted with all the work I need to keep up with. I know it've been a long wait for you, and I believe you were as tired as it seemed to be. But your caring and understanding has made things between us so simple, so easy, and I love it.

We have our own lives in different land on the earth, our we're connected by an invisible bond, the bond that would bring us together from half a globe away, the bond that make a fairytale true. I treasure this bond, just like how I treasure you..

Life goes on, sometimes you're busy and I'm not, and sometimes I'm and you're not. But for this bond, it brought us together, this little bond made us wait for each other, looking towards the voice across the globe.

You're deeply missed, Shuang.

Shit the Smell

2009-07-08T21:59:00.002+08:00

It was a good day until few bombs of shit exploded in Shah Alam. It seems that the terrorist bombed the ShitPool in Shah Alam.

Goodness!! The first step i step into class, i check my foot. Did i step on some shit or something? The smell is so strong that it numbed my nose after awhile.
After class, i went to ALM cafe to "take a look" and "peak around" and the 2nd ShitBombing is lunched again. It stronger this time, i wonder how those people in ALM cafe enjoy their meals. It stinks like.. Shit?
Then, the 3rd encounter of ShitBombing was in "StarBucks" in cemara. I was there to discuss about film shooting with Sii and Fei Lim. And that smell lasted for a very, very, very long time.

For those who're interested to find out who did this ShitBombing, please hire and private investigator and find out yah! I wanna know too! I wonder if those Shits sticks on his/her face.

whoever is it doing that, PLEASE.STOP.IT.

The First Day - Again

2009-07-06T09:12:00.003+08:00

My holiday ended after a superb ochesthra on saturday night, and today, 6th if July is the start if my new semester, the third semester of my A-levels in INTEC, UiTM.

Holidays always too short for me. I have not grab enough sleep, and when i came to realise that my new semester is just around the corner, it's too late. I need rest, which i've been hunger for. But it seems that i always have something on, i always have something to do and to plan for. Maybe this is the consequences i have to suffer to achive something? Maybe.. just maybe, because in the end of the day, I might achive nothing!

The registration team of INTEC is worth a praise for it's swift and punctual registration process. At sharp 8.30a.m. they opened the Great Hall's door for us to register, and i am proud to announce that wei haw, hong and I were among the first one to register. It took me 20 seconds or less to get registered, and she said "Alright you're done. Can go back now".

And now, i am in my school's library, flooded with some juniors and listening the to sound of people's shoe knocking against the floor.

Such a long time since i am in the library, alone, or with Shuang. Time goes by, but memories stays.

I miss you, Shuang.

Meal with Dad's friends - Mr. Ramli

2009-07-02T23:26:00.002+08:00

Today i found out that the waiting list for Root Canal Treatment in UiTM Dentistry Faculty. Looks like i'm gonna make a big hole in my mum's pocket. I'm considering to go for private now.. Geez

Today's dinner was enjoyable, although expensive. We settled in Dae Woo in Taipan, 3rd floor opposite McD. The last time i ate there was with.. Shuang :'( I miss you..

Dad is very generous to guest as usual, he ordered as much as he could, but he ordered smart this time, with recommandation from the server. We had ginseng chicken soup, monk fish soup, 2 bbq meal, bul-go-gi, and lots of free side dishes!

Mr. Ramli and his wife is really updated with current internet trend like facebook and stuff. Maybe it's time for my Dad to update himself a little! Mum.. i'd let her be with the Movies.

It's interesting to listen to what they say. Of course, they'd always ask about my studies and stuff.. and i have to repeat all the old grandmother stories over again. But hey, it's Okay for me.. now.

Sorry no picture this time, forgotten to bring my camera. Oh ya, i brought a new battery to replace the one i lost in Klinik kesihatan. Only rm 30! Haha.. Just reached, about quality.. hmm hmm.. dont know YET. We'll see

A pause in Tiredness v2

2009-06-26T01:44:00.005+08:00

Wednesday -

Nothing much today, but nothing less as well. As I finished my bench work earlier, i had a whole morning "nothing to do". But i didnt sleep (although i just slept 3 hours the night before) because i need to draft out the port folio for my committee(German Battle of Talent).

It took me the whole morning to do it though, but it worth it, after all we'll make this event a success. So please support and promote it!! Thanks!!!

Nothing much for that day, but the day after that day(Thursday) will be a crazy one. Some pictures of last Benchwork class :

The breaks i got today were 30 minutes on the way to GMI, 30 minutes before Electronics test, 1 hour before Digital test, 10 minutes before Technical Communication test. And 1 hour in bus back to Cemara, 30 minutes meal time. And My break start again after i finish blogging..

Just some pictures :

X_X

A pause in Tiredness

2009-06-26T00:30:00.003+08:00

It WAS a hectic week, more hectic than i could imagine.

Monday - Normal, practical till evening with alot energy used on Benchwork and by the end of the day, i transformed a picture of this :

to this :

Pro?

reach back hostel, too tired, slept over.

Tuesday -
Woke up 5am in the morning to pack my stuff, i'm moving to another hostel today! At night 8.30! Pack until around 6.45, go practical as usual.
We kept on asking our digital class TTO to let us off earlier for this special day, because we're moving hostel tonight. He's such a cool guy that always answer in this own unique way, at the same time giving us hope, and also suspense. Nevertheless, the allowed us to leave earlier, but it was sad to realise that we're the first group that's released from class. Although i have personally told few group 2 and 3 member to end their class earlier on Tuesday, because we have to change hostels, and some of us have Public Speaking at night to complete. Group 3 have benchwork and they finished a little later than us. Then we waited quite a long time for Group 2. It was quite a "impatient" waiting time as my dad REACHED my hostel and is ready to help me move my stuff, but i'm still at GMI, bangi.

In the end, they came out later and i met my dad, 1 hour later after he reached my hostel. I felt so bad him, and very thankful to him. We start moving all my stuff to my "new" hostel, in Seksyen 18. When i reached Cemara(hostel in seksyen 18), the ficking nub incharge person dont allow me to check in, BECAUSE I WORE A T-SHIRT WITHOUT COLLAR. Please, save me from this ugly ground. I had to run back to my car, change and go back to him. I requested him to give me a unit in lower floor, he REFUSED, CLAIMED THAT NO MORE LOWER FLOOR ROOM, whereas i saw the list with SO MANY EMPTY LOW FLOOR UNITS. Isn't sensible to allow us to choose our room if we're there early? Cinema does that, why not hostels? Wanna know why? BECAUSE GOVERNMENT FEED THESE ******. Thanks

Nevertheless, i am so LUCKY and got a 5th floor unit. Thank God everything is functioning in the room, and kind of clean. Then the tiring part came, i have to carry BOXES AND BOXES of stuff up the stairs. 5 floors, 4 floors, i already loose count. My only my stuff, i have really little stuff. I helped others to carry their stuff as well. Mike have few boxes of books which weight more than 20kg!! Crazy isnt? I'm really amazed we actually made it!!

Roommate : Esmond, Mike, Wei Haw
This is our new unit :

They're kind of "old" isnt? But no! This is quite good for Cemara already. I've seen much worse.. much worse.. Well, i dont compare my hostel with others, why? Because there's a main difference between who run these things, and YOU know why, dont you?

Then, after moving these into my unit, i took a bath and went for "52 Hours Public Speaking". I am one of the person who got involved with this event, reluctantly. I find it pointless to critic anymore, so i leave it to be. I used my last sem's script anyway, yes i know, it's cheap, but who cares. I heard some japan programme people speaking, and i understand the first sentence and the last one!! Watashi.... and Aligato... LOL We had 10 languages spoken though during this 52 hours. Dont mistaken, i'm here for only 1 hour. Not so crazy X_X

Some pictar :

Japan programme girl

yy

waiting for turn... guess who hold the camera..

Yi Hui

First time i hear her voice so loud.. SERIOUSLY.. she talks like an ant..

Read script!!!

speechless

...

The "time keepers" that prevent the contestant from stopping the "streak" that should last for 52 hours. There's always back-up contestant there.. kind of good management i would say. Good

Sharm

After public speaking, went to Al-Rafi to have a drink with Abi and YY

Abi

and the story of tiredness will continue in next post....

SMKSU Prefect's Reunion 2009 - where we dream of our past again..

2009-06-21T13:28:00.005+08:00

It's the time again, once a year ex-Prefects and Prefects of SMKSU enjoy a dinner together, organised by prefects whom graduated for exactly 3 years from SMKSU.

This year's Prefect's Reunion of SMKSU is organised by Prefects of 2005/2006, located in Holiday Villa Subang. At least 10 Tables were occupied, by prefects, ex-prefects, teachers, chairman of PIBG, state assembly women Hannah Yeoh, and not to forget, their respective dates.

It's a time to flash back for me. This night, i thought alot, how times has passed. How much i missed school. The green blazer, green tie and white pants i once wore every single weekdays. The daily routine of duities, and preparation of school events, reunion, sketches, performances, meeting, skipping classes, normination, outings, camps.. so many to recall, so easy to remember.

Seniors, juniors, colleagues, BODs, we all worked together. We share the same burden, sometimes. We helped each others, work together, spot checks. Infact, this "Prefect" thing has brought us together and formed a bond that would never be forgotten. And this bond itself, has made everyone of us different.

Many were absent today, but we missed them. They might not be with us in the dinner, but they live in our memories. Some flew overseas, some having exams, some busy with something else, some just said "i'm not coming", but nevertheless, the precious memories remains.

We all have our own life, we live our way differently. This precious event, or i call tradition whom started by our super super super senior prefects, has brought us together, once a year. Get updated with friends(i know we have facebook), get contacts, get inspired how successful one could be, get to see the growing juniors.

I'll attend every single reunion before i fly to Germany, and this probably going to be my 2nd last reunion with them. Next year will be my year's prefects organising this event, and it will be my last year as well, before my flight to Germany. We'll make it a success, with Winter leading us, hopefully. No, there's no winter in Malaysia, Winter Tan Ian Lee is my year's head prefect. We will see next year!

This year's prefect's reunion is decent, i enjoy seeing old friends, prefects, seniors. I met so many of them! Timothy, Sharon, Karmun, Edmond, Yi Shen, Ying Hao, Zhui mun, Joanne, Jocelyn, Robbee, Jade, Andrew, Rizzy, Winter, Chantelle, Pravena, Mavinthra, Miguell.. and so on. There's just so many of them! Afterall, that's the whole point of Reunion, isnt?

Pictures will never be forgotten in every event :

Always call before you look for your dentist

Today i went back from Bangi, to UiTM Seksyen 7 to get my teeth checked. But sadly, after a long and tiring trip from Bangi, the Dentistry Faculty dont operate for registration on friday afternoon! I already came here twice and miss it twice. Now i have no MC to explain to my TTO in GMI, why i skip her class.. but who cares.. just gonna explain to her i guess.

Something to praise HP service centre. On monday, i first e-mailed to HP support e-mail to complain about my failing battery. I provided my Laptop's Product Number, Serial Number, and Battery's Warranty ID. Normally all HP's laptop or Compaq have a programme called Hp Battery Checker. It is said to have 99% accuracy to determine the condition of your battery. I obtained my Battery's Warranty ID after i use the programme, and it said that my Laptop Battery needs a replace(as it is manufacturing fault). My laptop used to be able to use 2 hours + with battery, now only 20 minutes, and yesterday i tried, i cant even switch on my laptop solely on battery. This is really bad.

The good news is..

I got my new battery today! DSL guy called me and told me that they'll be sending that battery to my house. I'm very delighted with the efficiency of their services (both HP and DSL). Hp responded quickly after my first complain and sent a replacement on Tuesday. Today, i got my new battery, even though i had some problem with the DSL courier service, but everything's fine now.

Now, i'm with my laptop, which harddisk had been replaced, and a new battery. I'm glad that i extended my warrranty to 3 years, because i believe more will fail sooner or later.. Same old saying " BLAME THE FALL" Damn it

Yi Hui's 19th Birthday in GMI

2009-06-19T19:48:00.003+08:00

It was yesterday's event.

Few days back yen ying has been annoying everyone about her best friend's birthday - Yi Hui. As we have our GMI practical, we're in a very tight schedule.
We gave her a surprise right after our last practical, it somehow worked, and somehow doesnt. She was surprised, thats very good, BUT when YY(Yen Ying) carry the birthday cake to her front(with all the candles lighted), the fan was too strong and it all went off.
Nevertheless, she's very happy(i hope) but she ended up being the cake cutter and yen ying became the cake distrubutor in the bus, and we got scolded by the bus driver because we're late, but it was fun isnt?
So, we have another rare species achiving 19 years old yesterday. Happy birthday, and grow up healthily, or are you still growing? :P

Happy Birthday

How happy!

Not-So-Unlucky-Day [11th day of GMI Practical]

2009-06-15T20:02:00.003+08:00

Over the weekend, i had bad toothache, and it's really suffering. In order to save money, i bear the pain for 2 days, until today, because i want to visit UiTM's clinic instead of private clinic, it's free! Today i have benchwork in the morning, and electronics in the afternoon, till evening.

During the benchwork class, It's Okay.. Our Benchwork TTO[Technical Training Oficer](i will find out his name later) keep on telling us that Benchwork is easy.. bla..blaa.blaa which we know it will be tiring as some of our friends did it. Benchwork is like KH(Kemahiran Hidup/Living Skills), where we saw woods, make into shapes and so. But it's advance level of KH, our raw material is a softmetal block, and we need to tile it into an exact dimension, drill it with holes at specific places. Sounds easy? I will post more pictures as i continue with my practical on Benchwork. It'll be interesting :)

mr handsome again

nothing beats this. lol

Look at the "bastard". Dont know why they call it either

hoho.. deathnote actor..

I dont owe you money, neither the world. Smile!~

If you think i'm not taking your picture, now u know ur answer, Prahlad :D

During the class, we learn how to stand when we're filing.. sawing.. and so on. Hong made a funny movement and made me laugh like crazy.. goodness, we're suppose to move the whole body all together as a pushing force... but he moved more on his lower body.. X_X

around 12.05 Benchwork class is over. The toothache during the class made me fall asleep the last hour of lesson, and when i wake up, the pain for worse. So i decided to go to clinic UiTM in the afternoon. I hog on Ayuni's car, sent to KTM bangi, took KTM to sentral, change lane to Shah Alam. Cost me Rm5 + 1 hour 50 minutes of journey(include waiting trains) Then, i took a taxi whom refuse to use meter(as usual) and charged me rm7 from Seksyen 18 KTM station to Seksyen 7 entrence of UiTM. He refused to send me right infront of the clinic as well. Damn..

Went into clinic around 2.30, took the number, and the nurse told me they need 2 charge me as i am Intec's student, i was like WTF? Then she say if i can get the letter from intec, saying that i'm ill and need treatment, my charge will be waived, and i was so relieved, but i forgotten to get the letter from my hostel. Nevertheless, the kind-hearted nurse allowed me to register, took number and waited :

2.30

It took me 1 hour to reach my turn. I took out my reader digest to relieve my pain(distracting myself). After being checked by a friendly doctor named Dr. Ismail, he confirmed with me that i needed root canal treatment(which i already expected) but before that, i need medication to remove my abscess(which formed because i left my tooth untreated for almost 1 month). yes i know, my bad. So, if you have a tooth feeling uncomfortable, please go and check, or it lead to disaster like mine!

The clinic, taking from the place i was sitting. This picture cost rm60 because i think i left my camera substitute battery here.. damn

My teeth problem doesnt end here, i'll need 4/5 more treatments to get this thing fix, and i hate it, or do i? I dont know, because it also means that i can skip some days of my busy practical.. lol

I took bus back to Hostel after all the fuss, only bus. Economic! Rm1.. reach my hostel :D

GMI practical

2009-06-05T08:33:00.003+08:00

What's GMI practical?
GMI stands for German-Malaysian Institute. It was previously in Cheras, and moved to Bangi now.
As for students of A-level German sponsored by JPA, we have to complete 2 phrase of practical, in GMI. Normally, after semester 2 of a-level, we will have our 1st phrase of practical during the sem2 break, and the 2nd phrase after our final a-level examination.

So far, the practical has been OK. Quite fun in the sense that you get to play with these real things, play with electric circuit and trying to make spark, short circuit and having drinking cold milo in the cafe.
GMI has a freaking big campus in Bangi, the place which I'm doing my practical now. Sadly, their library is relatively small compare to my college, Intec, UiTM. I'm now sitting on the sofa of the library writing these. GMI in Bangi have 6 academic building, 1 sport complex and 1 admin building, 6 cafeteria. It's quite far from town area, but could be easily reached by KTM.

The number of students in GMI is relatively small when we compare it to the size, maybe it's because it is their semester break now too. It is a perfect place to shoot a ghost movie in GMI, especially the block 5 with 15 floors and the corridor is always empty. I have already shoot many pictures in GMI and uploaded in my photoblog.

Practical sounds fun? Yes it is, and extremely tiring. 1st of all, during the practical, we'll spend more than 12 hours away from our hostel. I'll have to wake up at 5.45 to wash up, bus leaves Cendana(my hostel) at 6.45 and we'll reach GMI at around 7.45 to 8. Class starts from 7.45 and break at 9, continues at 9.30 and ends at 1pm. We'll have our lunch for 1 hour, and class continues till 7p.m. or 8p.m. with a 30 minutes break in between on daily basis. By the time we reach back our hostel, it would be 9pm or so. Crazy right?

Nevertheless, it's still fun for people like me. I'd always try something new, either trying to be the fastest or trying to be different. So far, i just did my Electric Fundamental Practical(where you connects circuits and test all the voltage.. etc, oscilloscope, studying the shape, the capacitor characteristics), Metrology(where u keep on holding a measuring equipment, either you're calibrating it, or you're measuring something. This class is very BoRINGGG) and Basic Electric Skills(Where you solder electronic components into circuit boards like in KH in secondary school)

My friends did benchwork, where you'll deal with real heavy metals and they told me we'll need to cut the metal using a saw, omg?

Anyway, great experience awaits. And tiring days. Ah, 3 more weeks to go. I just finished one week.

Random and some new stuff in my house
