Blog Moved - WordPress

Hmm...Blogger seemed to have a little problem..I have moved my blog to WordPress a few days back, and it's my own domain, www.mr-fcuk.com. I will import posts from here to there. So I guess you have to check the update over there now....My Sinagpore Trip update is still not complete actually. I guess I have more work to do over there at WordPress.

Visit there now......

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING BELOW

The blogger seem to give me some problem for my Singapore trip photos. Coding problem I guess. I think I messed something up.

Anyway, will split each day to each post, better than squeezing them into one post. Will update the one in the latest days and will edit the previous post. Sorry for the inconvenience. This post will be deleted a few days after I come back from my Singapore trip. Until then, do keep reading my blog....

Singapore Trip 08/07/07 - Day 8

This is the last day of mine in Singapore. Finally, a day for me to wake up quite late. However, today had to go visiting of some far relatives' houses. Went to Bedok and Kovan then to Chinatown for lunch with my aunty again.

After lunch, grab our luggage then headed down to airport. The airport was filled with people as it is a Sunday. Luckily Singaporean are quite efficient than Malaysia with many open counters, so there wasn't much impatience in me.

Touch down at Penang in the evening. Home sweet home....

Singapore Trip 07/07/07 - Day 7

07/07/07 is a good day, claimed by many people, as you can only see such date every 100 years. That is why many couples got married, especially in Singapore. This is my cousin sister's wedding day too. Another wedding which I had to attend after Ms.Koh's. Had to got up early in the morning, as the groom was going to reach at around 8 in the morning.

I pity my cousin sister, as it was her wedding where she should get enough rest, but ended up waking up at 5 in the morning for preparation. Went for breakfast across the street. Look at the eggs in the photo. That is the reason why I do not like to consume Chinese food in Singapore, cause the quality is not really good. The eggs were claimed to be half boiled eggs. Omg, I can even do better than that man. Lousy coffee shop. I usually eat only Western food or Fast Food in Singapore, no Chinese food for me.
My cousin sister, with her husband and her parents. Everyone is getting ready for the morning church wedding at The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the wedding, everything went quite fine, except for one thing, the Priest. In my opinion, the priest was not so good when he is giving his own speech about love and marriage. He used words like Divorce and Die in his speech. Those are negative words which should not be used in a marriage ceremony. Why couldn't he say some better things or use better words?

After the church, headed back to the hotel for some afternoon sleep. In the evening, it was time to go to Esplanade Mall. The dinner was over there. Was stucked a traffic jam by taxi, as many of the roads were closed, as Singaporeans were having their Singapore National Day rehearsal, and it was a Saturday.
That is the rehearsal stage outside Esplanade. They blocked the area.
There were many people sitting at the road path seeing the rehearsal. People were standing along the bridge too to get a better look (the bridge is at the far back of the photo).
This is the restaurant - "My Humble House". Can a house be humble? I wonder.
The dinner is for a couple, named James and Jessie.
The wedding cake. Too bad there wasn't a couple toy on top of the cake, like the ones which Westerners usually have.
The table was decorated at such. Smart move, if not the table would be very plain. Wonder how many roses they have to use for so many tables.
I got a great seat - next to the window of a beautiful Singapore. This was the view I took of the wonderful view. It is so rare to have a wedding dinner with such a great scenery.
Fireworks lit up when the married couple walked into the restaurant. What a perfect timing. The fireworks were actually for the National Day rehearsal, but I guess luck was on my cousin sister's side.
The usual wine pouring ceremony. Sadly, this wedding only uses the words "Cheers". No intensity at all. The usual "Yam Seng" was not there.
The menu of the dishes which were served during the dinner. I took a photo of almost all the dishes, as I forgot to take photo of some.
Dish #1 - Spicy Crab Rolls with Jelly Fish, Chilled Drunken Chicken Gelo, "Ma La" Octupus, BBQ Roast Duck Slices and Spring Rolls in Thai Style.

Dish #2's was not taken by me. I forgot.
Dish #3 - Wok Fried Fragrant Butter Prawns.
Dish #4 - Braised Abalone Mushrooms with Spinach Tofu.
Dish #5 - Steamed "Hong Chao" in Superior Soy Sauce.
Dish #6 - Steamed Chicken with Yunnan Ham, on a Bed of Kailan.
Dish #7 - Stewed Hong Kong Ee Fu Noodles with Mushrooms and Chives.
This is actually not a dish, it is dry nice mix with hot water. It brings you this effect. They did this just before the desert was served, probably for some effect.

Dish #8 was not taken by me again. I forgot.
After the dinner, we headed back to the hotel. This was a shot of how Esplanade looks like. It is often being called as the Durian in Singapore. Don't think others, although the shape has a bit like it. Tiring...

Singapore Trip 06/07/07 - Day 6

Woke up quite early today, as today would be quite a busy day. After all the morning preparation, including breakfast, I headed down to Singapore Expo to have a look at the building structure and what is located nearby. Knowing that it is actually too early for the place to be filled with people, I have no choice but to take a shot to explore.
As I expected, it was very quiet. There were more than 10 halls at Singapore Expo. This plan was actually part of a wing of Singapore Expo. It basically reminded me of Penang's International Sports Arena (PISA).

After walking a while in a quiet big structure building, I headed down to Changi Airport to await the arrival of my mom, sister and aunt. I actually thought of selling an unused SG$ 10 Public Phone Card of mine in the airport by shouting and asking people, but I changed my mind. I guess I have to sell it on the net for a lower price.
After meeting with them, we took a taxi heading down to InterContinental Hotel at Bugis. I would actually love to take MRT, rather than taxi, as I like walking. Just for your information, the hotel was not paid by ourselves, as this was actually a wedding trip for us (excluding me, as it is a holiday and wedding). Therefore, the hotel billed is being paid by the father of my cousin who is getting married, which in short means my uncle.

After checking in, I had to go back to my aunt's house to get my luggage. MRT, my favourite way of traveling, got me there and back to the Hotel, while the rest (all females) went for shopping. What can I expect from them, as they are XX based.
In the evening, we headed down to Neptune Court at Marine Vista for dinner as the going to be groom's family was holding a small function dinner for all the relatives of both the groom and bride, or maybe I should say bride and groom.
The wedding car for tomorrow. Yeah, it is a BMW. I'm not sure who owns it though, but what a car for a wedding occasion. I have seen people using old Minis as wedding cars. I feel that Minis would be so much better.
Headed back to the hotel after dinner to get ready for a super busy day tomorrow. A beautiful environment of the lobby can be seen. Good night...

Singapore Trip 05/07/07 - Day 5

Today was basically a day of exploring malls and city area. But before I go to those places, I headed to National University of Singapore (NUS) first to have a look. It was seriously huge. With beautiful trees and old strong buildings, it really portrays one of the best university in the world. You can see the map for directions and stuffs. But it is not really clear though. The campus has city buses going through it and also they have their own shuttle buses to travel within the campus. That is like really cool. However, there is one thing that they should have to make the place nicer. That would be a big lake, with nice grassy land and also nice trees.
I saw this at their parking areas. The downside of this university is you have to pay for parking. That is really sad.
I only went to visit the NUS Business School. Was lazy to see the rest. The canteen is super big. If I compare the canteen with the Malaysia Nottingham's SA cafeteria, the NUS canteen is like 10 times better. Their size of the canteen is like the entire ground floor of SA and they serve so many different kind of food - Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, Western, Chinese, Indian and Malay. The Malaysia Nottingham Campus's losses out flat.
There lecture halls are quite cool. They have signboards telling you that there is lecturers being conducted in the hall. This is better than letting students peeping inside the halls.
After that, I went to Vivo City. This was my first time and it is really big, but not much for me to shop there.
There is the Singapore Cruise Center near the mall. This is where all the ships from overseas or Cruise stops.
A picture of "Fei Long". That is what it is called.
A beautiful view taken from the 3rd floor of Vivo City. You can see Sentosa Island's signboard. It is in White.
Cable Cars to Sentosa Island.
You can go to Sentosa Island by monorail too, if you are afraid of heights. I choose not to go to the Island as I feel that it would be boring there.
I guess the PK word really influences me and my friends. Seeing this, Sze Wei's face appeared in my mine again. Really pity him that this name has stucked on him.
Ate at Fig & Olive. Just to try it out as I never heard of it before. It turned out to be a nice place to dine.
This is Figo Marinara Oglio. The cheese on the pasta smelled so good.
Potato and Cheese. Wonderful.

After lunch, it was on to Transfomers in Digital 4k. My second time watching it. It was brilliant, the sound and the sharpness of the movie is just unbelievable. Superb.
After movie, on to Clarke Quay. They now have a logo for it. The place really changed a lot.
A nice photo of Clarke Quay.
Where to dine? Hooters. Haha. Yeah the hooters in Singapore. Haven't tried it before, but I have heard about their concept. So on we go inside. To let you know why is their concept so popular for guys, please look at the photo below.
Yeah, it's the clothes that they wear. With a top like that and short pants. But faces still matters.
Anyway, this is their Baked Sole Fillet. Was a great meal.
After dinner, I went to City Hall, Raffles Place and Marina Bay to have a look. Raffles Place was basically filled with office buildings. This was a shot up towards the sky. All office buildings. City Hall was nice as they have malls and underpass to Esplanade and Suntec City.

After that, went back to my aunt's place again. Alright have to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be quite a busy day....

Singapore Trip 04/07/07 - Day 4

Woke up in the morning with a mission to finish the east side of Singapore. I went all the way to Pasir Ris first and start my journey by slowly going west. That would seem like a better choice. Pasir Ris does not seem to have anything much, but Tampines and Simei have at least some malls and stuffs.

Kembangan seemed to me like a some rich man's place, as there are many landed properties there. Landed properties are like damn expensive in Singapore, and if you own one, means you are one lucky person.
Saw a Swift with a great yellow colour. It really looks like a sports car. If I have a Swift, I think I would follow this guy to paint it with such colour.
At Paya Lebar, the only mall which I can walk to the nearest is Tanjong Katong Complex, and seriously, it is quite place. It was the first time that I saw a mall with a lot of Malay shops. It was seriously like Sungai Wang Plaza, except imagine it as most shops are own by Malays, instead of Chinese.
After that, I went to Aljunied, where the Singapore's famous Geylang area is nearby. Sean would ask me to go and explore Geylang, and I wanted to. But seeing the map, and don't know which part has stuffs which was seen by Sean, I decided to give up. However, I saw a shop selling Koi and the word "Fish" and "Koi" immediately made me think of Sze Wei. He will know what I mean.
At Bugis, there were lots of shops and Bugis Junction was quite a nice place. It has certainly grow since the last time I came. There was this wonderful Harry Potter posters at the cinema area of Bugis Junction. Really felt like taking them home, but later will get caught, like how 2 men was caught for stealing Homer at a Malaysian cinema.
At Parkview Parade, near Bugis, the escalator will auto start when you move close to it. It is damn nice. And it will auto stop after a while, when there is no one near the escalator or on it.

After Bugis, with lots of time to spare, and no activities planned on where to go, I have decided to see what movies can I watch at Cathay Cineleisure again. Yet again, I went to watch Die Hard 4.0. Haha, yeah again. It is really a nice movie, the jokes are damn funny and the actions are really wow. Only John McClane can do it.
For dinner, I went to eat at New York New York at CityLink, City Hall,, which is recommended by my cousin. It turn out to be a great place with fantastic environment.
This is their Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta. It is so huge and the tomatoes were really, really juicy.
And this is my main course, Latino Chicken Escalope. It just looks like ordinary chicken right? BUT, the sauce was damn wonderful. It really had quality.

After that, headed back to my aunt's place with tiredness and really need to sleep now...

Singapore Trip 2007

This is a blog post of a trip which I have longing to go for. Yeah, it is the trip to Singapore. I will be spending a 8 day trip at Singapore to complete a mission of mine, which is to stop at every MRT station to check the places out. In addition to that, I have a wedding to attend, which is my cousin sister's wedding. Alright, this is going to be a long blog entry, as I will update all the journey of my days into this post. Which means I will always edit this post, so do check back here from time to time.

Day 1 I was waiting for my flight at Penang Airport. It was an hour till boarding time.
After an hour of journey in the air, I have finally reached Changi Airport. An airport which I really respect a lot is Changi Airport.
Unfortunately, I did not like the McDonalds at Chang Airport. Look at the Filet o' Fish. It is slightly smaller than Malaysia's one.
While I was eating my burger at Changi Airport, I saw this poster for some Singapore Food Festival. The crab looked tempting, but I do not like to eat crabs.

After eating, I bored the MRT to my aunt's place. After putting my bags and taking a pit stop, I left with my cousin to the bus station. She was off for a movie and I was off to Dover station. So different direction then.
When I reach Dover Station, it was Singapore Polytechnic that I saw when I turned. It is a big university, but sadly, it was a Sunday, so there was no students. Bored the MRT to my first MRT station to stop on, Boon Lay.
Upon reaching Boon Lay, I saw a bus interchange. I have to say, the bus interchange in Singapore are quite efficient and nice. Compare those to our Malaysia's biggest bus station, Pudu. This is way better.
Next stop was Lakeside. Nothing much here, except for HDB flats and a beautiful view of a lake.
After that, Chinese Garden was the 3rd stop. It was a nice place to visit at Chinese Garden, although I did not explore the whole garden, as time was not on my side. There were many fishes and also turtles in the river, near the entrance of Chinese Garden.
A map of Chinese Garden. Click on it to see what you can explore at the Garden.
7 Story Pagoda was quite popular among the visitors, as you can see many people taking photos of it. You can actually walk up the stairs, but I did not do it.
Next was the Zodiac Garden. Where they have statues of the 12 Chinese Zodiac and the description of each Zodiac. My was the dragon.
A long white bridge. Very nice indeed. Imagine you taking your wedding photo on this bridge, or set it as your background. It looks holy or grand or perhaps serene.

After Chinese Garden, I stop at each MRT stops between Chinese Garden to Tanjong Pagar. Nothing much to see there, except for HDB flats and some small malls. So with a little more time to spare, I decided to visit Novena and Newton, which are on the North South line. The Mr.Bean stall in Singapore is quite good actually. I have a drink of Soya Milk at the stall, and it was quite good. A prospect for franchising, perhaps?
After walking around the malls at Novena. I stopped at OrganiCafeXperience to have my dinner. It was a Grilled Boneless Chicken. Noticed that the top left of the plate has some smudges? Well, I actually moved the meat there, before putting it back to its original position for a photo shoot.

After dinner, it was a wrap for Day 1. My legs are really aching now. Feeling tired.


Day 2
Woke at early today, because I am desperate to finish the North South line today, not wanting to delay it for another day. After having my breakfast, off I go to Dover station again to board the MRT to Jurong East. I reached Jurong East, and stopped by the McDonalds for add 2 hashbrown to my morning breakfast. After that, I moved on to complete my North South line, by stopping at each MRT station, from Jurong East to Toa Payoh, as I have been to Newton and Novena yesterday and I have been to the other South stations during my last trip to Singapore.
Bukit Gombak had a stadium and a sports complex just below the MRT station. I did not even been to a Malaysian stadium, but I have stepped my foot at the Singapore one. Some Malaysian I am.

Choa Chu Kang was a place full of HDB flats. If you take the LRT, you can see a lot of HDB flats around you.
At Kranji, there is a Singapore Turf Club. It was closed, at it was a Monday. I guess there was not any race. I am not really sure myself what day do they open though.

At Khatib, I went to find a MTG Card shop and it was just a small shop. Did not have what I need at the shop.
At Ang Mo Kio, I went to AMK Hub. I was wondering what was so famous at Ang Mo Kio, but I could not find the answer, as I have neither any Singaporean traveling with me nor the courage to ask people. But, I saw this damn long queue in front of the DBS bank at AMK Hub. My legs were killing me, as I do not know why my ankle hurts so badly.

At Bishan, I went to find another MTG shop. They did not have the things I need too, but at least I found a shop which was quite active.

In the end, I decided to go to Somerset and try my luck to catch a movie. Decided to go to Cathay Cineleisure. I have to say, the place was quite pack, even though it was a weekday. I cannot imagine weekends then. Anyway, luck was on my side, as I managed to get a seat for myself to watch Die Hard 4.0. Cannot wait to watch it, but the stomach called.
On t o Chicago's Steakhouse then. It was quite pack, but got a seat four one. Saw a person actually dropped a hot plate steak on the floor, from the kitchen. Pity him.
Anyway, I got myself a plate of Chicken Cacciatore. It was quite nice, even though the shop's name suggested that I should try their steak out. However, I was not a fan of steak, so too bad.

On to Die Hard 4.0. The cinema was really nice, cold and good sound system. Unlike Malaysian cinema, where the movie will start 15 minutes after the actual time of the movie should be screened, the movie in Singapore cinema started on time. Die Hard 4.0 was extremely nice. It was really full with action and humour. I really like Die Hard 1 and Bruce Willis, and since then, I watched Die Hard 2 and 3. And now 4.0, they are all great. Yippie Kai Yay, Mother Fucker. That was John McClane's line. Took a bus back to my aunt's place and that wraps up Day 2.


Day 3

Could not really wake up early this morning. I have to finsih the North East Line today. Started my journey to Punggol and slowly go downwards. I have to say, Punggol has a lot of lands which can be developed into HDB, condominiums, hotels, shopping complexes and also office buildings. I think in years to come, that place would be another great place of Singapore.

After that, I went to Sengkang. Sengkang is like Punggol, which has a lot of HDB flats all around, but Sengkang do not have many undeveloped lands like Punggol. The rest of the station had nothing much.

It was quite fun to stop by Little India. At first, I did not thought of having my lunch here cause there are a lot of spicy food there. But it was already 2.30, and I have to eat something. While I was walking around, I saw a group of Singhs standing outside of this shop called "The Banana Leaf Apolo". Then it hit me that it should be quite nice, as the rest of the stalls along the street was quite quiet. So I went in and it reminds me of mamak.
For a person who cannot eat spicy food, I ordered Fried Chicken with Nasi Briyani. The above picture showed what it looks like. It is really quite nice and the curry served was not that spicy, so luckily I could eat.
After finished my rice, I have this to filled up my stomach. What is this? It's Cheese Nan. Yeah, Cheese Nan reminds me of Sri Leena, which reminds me of Semenyih's mamak times at night. The food was quite delicious. If only Wilson was here, he would be able to make friends with the Macha there.
I went to Chinatown, and there were a lot of people all around. This was my first time at Chinatown, and I did not even been to Malaysia's Chinatown. There were a lot of things there, but not many things for me. Chinese words were printed on the floor of the MRT station.

For dinner, I went to Holland Village with my relatives to eat. After that, went to pay my cousin a visit at Cold Rock Ice-Cream stall. The first one in Singapore and she was working there. The ice-cream was quite nice and it was quite sweet.

After that, am back at my aunt's place and started surfing on blogging. Alright, that's it for day 3 and tomorrow is another day.

Transformers

I managed to catch Transformers yesterday. This is the only thing I like about my hometown. You can catch a Blockbuster Film on the second day of its release, by buying ticket with only 1 hour before the movie starts. Unlike KL, you have to like book it so early and it will be damn pack in the cinema. However, the quality of cinemas is definitely better. Yesterday, when the movie started, the first 30 seconds of the movie has no sound. Technical problems I guess.

Anyway, the movie is awesome. It made me, a non-transformers fan, into one. To all those who haven't watch it yet, please watch it and don't miss a second of the movie please. Do not go to the toilet during the movie and off your mobile phone to avoid distraction. You are not the "tai ko" in the cinema.

Alright, going to Singapore tomorrow morning. Will blog from there. Can't wait now....

Random Post #4

I have not been doing much lately. Just been watching The Apprentice. I have managed to finish season 1 to season 4. It was definitely an educational reality movie and I have learnt a lot from it.

I will be going to Singapore this Sunday and I am not sure why am I not excited as the last time I want to go. Probably I haven't been having enough sleep for the past few days, which was spent on The Apprentice. I must get up and pumping to get ready for my unbelievable Singapore trip, where I will be stopping and exploring what is there to be seen at each MRT stop. It is going to be hardwork with the period of 5 days, but I believe that I can do it. All I need is just planning.

Hope I do not get sick, as I am not feeling 100% well now. Feeling really tired. I should stop here now...

Final Fantasy IX - I Have Finished It

Yeah, I have just officially finished playing Final Fantasy IX. Finally finished this game after so long. It is a year 2000 game, but I only finished playing now. Thanks to Chi Ming for borrowing me the disc and his PlayStation for me to play. Really feel more relief now as I finished my second goal during this summer holidays, after finishing the puzzle that I bought.

Final Fantasy IX is really a great game to play, which is almost the same as all Final Fantasy series, which makes them always the best RPG series ever made. In Final Fantasy IX, the only thing that I like is the story and I like the ending the most. It was purely love and it was touching. Really touching, if you put your shoes in it.

Final Fantasy, an all time favourite game of mine which portrays friendship, hope and love..... Cited from http://accel96.mettre-put-idata.over-blog.com/0/00/26/47/f.e._ff9_grp2.jpeg

Improved Business Strategy

Durian selling has never been advance in technology until now. There is a durian seller in Penang who accepts Credit Card payments. Speaking of gaining market share, the credit service offered to buyers would certainly create a competitive advantage for the seller. This shows that road side stalls are starting to improve its quality in service customers.

I read about it in this article, which can be read in the Star.

端午节 - Duan Wu Festival

Yesterday was the Duan Wu Festival, according to the Chinese Calender. It the one of the nice seasons again in a year. Someone people call it the Chang Festival, because of the traditional food to be eaten during this season. Those who are not familiar with this festival will see the traditional food, later in the blog.

There is actually nothing much about this festival. People will just enjoy eating the food during this season. All I am longing for, during this season to come, is just the food. The food is quite good actually, especially if your mom is the one who make them.......
These are Bak Chang. There are normal ones and huge ones.
This is how it looks like inside. There are rice, mushroom, egg york, meat and ground nuts. inside the Chang. Different people would include different ingredients.
These are Ki Chang. They are smaller than Bak Chang.
This is how it looks like inside. They are usually eaten with brown sugar.

Ms.Koh's Wedding

Last night, two people had one of the most memorable nights of their lives. A marriage, people would always regard as the once in a life time event. That was what Ms.Koh Sin Ching was having. Our secondary school teacher, had her wedding after so many years of searching for her soul mate and finally she found him. No doubt that she was teaching us for 2 or maybe just 1 year, but she remembered us, because of our friendliness and our mischievous character I guess. Apart from being students to her, we can be considered as her friends too.

Her wedding was held at Cinta Sayang, golf and country resort. There were more than 40 tables of people who attended the wedding. 6 of us went to her wedding at Cinta Sayang, me, Sam, Han Yang, Daniel, Kishan and Syahrul Aiman. Anand, could not join us, as he is coming back one day after her wedding in SP. There were few of other secondary school teachers who went to the wedding. The nice part was we, students were sitting inside and the teachers were sitting outside. Haha, that was really nice to see. We had a great time, the couple had a great time and everyone had a great time.

I, hereby wishing Ms.Koh all the best and good luck in her life in Perth.....

Photos were taken from my camera phone and Yin Sin's camera.

Last Wednesday, my friends and I, 11 of us to be exact, went to Auto City to have dinner. As usual, people at this age, cannot make up our mind on where to eat. In the end, we went to eat at a Japanese Restaurant which serves the "all you can eat" concept for about RM 50.00 per person.

No doubt, at first we thought it was quite expensive, but then after settling down and eat and all, it was extremely worth it. Perhaps the food might not worth the amount we paid (certain people I guess), but to have a night out with 11 of us at a nice dinner was certainly worth it for me. Honestly, the food was undoubtedly great, but the portion of the food was quite small.

Everyone was certainly having fun, with laughters and jokes and stories and posing for the camera. You readers will see that almost every photo, there is a guy. He is Way Chow and he was really in to take photos with all his poses. I would say that he was the model that night.

It was a wonderful night. I recommend you guys to try the place out. They have one at e-Gate and one at Auto City. In the end, I would say that we ate more than what we paid. That was the beauty of taking a big group of people to eat buffet style. We ordered like more than 20 sco0ps of Ice cream and like more than 12 cups of Chawanmushi. I pity the waiters for taking so much orders from us.

Anyway, I will let the pictures do the talking from here. Some pictures are quite blur though. I apologise for the photos. I know Sean, Sze Wei and Gan would love to see the photos in the people, as they certainly would want to know how do North region girls look like. The night was marvelous.....

Regionals Penang 2007

I went to Regionals Penang yesterday to try my luck on qualifying for the Malaysian Nationals. And I guess I was very lucky to be able to qualify for the Nationals. HOWEVER, the deck which I used was not mine. I would say that full credit should go to my friend, Brian, who borrowed me the deck and thought me how to play with it. I really thank him.

I was using Gruul deck and I was considered very lucky to beat 2 top players from Penang, Rick Lee (Sifu) and Lim Ban Lee (Bouncer) in the first two round. They were running a Tron deck and a Blue Scryb Ranger respectively. Those were tough decks. I was really, really lucky to be honest, as they experienced Mana Flood or Mana Screw. That was the reason I beat them in the first two rounds.

At the top 8, I was facing Ah Sei with his Dranlu deck. It was quite though and once again, I won because of opponent mana screwing and not drawing counterspells. It was really really pure luck I would say, really, really, pure luck. If I were to get such luck in Nationals, I would be extremely happy.....

Finished My Puzzle

Finally I have finished my 950 pieces of puzzle. I was really happy to finally finish one of my goal during this holidays. Like Sean said, we will sure be happy one after finishing a puzzle. Yeah, and he was right. We bought a puzzle each for ourself, planed to finished it during this holiday and I guess we did it, as he finished his puzzle earlier than me.

I started my puzzle on Tuesday and managed to finished it yesterday. After putting the glue and frame, it looks really nice. Thanks for some tips from Sean. I guess I will buy more puzzles again in the coming future. At least I find something quite nice to do.....

This is the first day of my puzzle.
The second day of my puzzle.
Ah, there's still the last piece of the whole puzzle during the third day.
Finally, I have finished and framed it up. Nice.

A Busy Week

I had quite a busy week and all. I had to move some of my furnitures from my Semenyih house to my new Semenyih house. The new house has Streamyx. Yeah, connection ownage time (although haven't apply). Anyway, moved quite a lot of stuff - Tables, Chairs, Shelf, Bed and Mattress. The headache one of all was the mattress, because it is a Queen Size mattress. Even one of my friend's Honda Stream also can't fit.

So what should I do? Lorry? Quite expensive for a mattress. Car, too small to fit. BUT, I can put on top of a car. Of course the roof of a Kelisa would not handle the problem, but a Kia can. Haha, my friend, Sean's Kia. Thanks Sean for the help. There was not any other choice but to do that, luckily it was just a short distance. Besides that, there was house cleaning in the current house that I am renting, before our contract expires. The fridge had a serious frosting problem, as it was just a one door fridge. My roommate Eddie, had to use some tools to smash out the ice.
Wilson found a lizard in a drawer. A dead and skinny one that was. Wonder how long has it been there.
That is the amount of garbage that were cleared from our house. It was really A LOT.
Lastly, I had to pack all of my stuff and bring it back. A lot of packing today. I guess I have brought a lot of stuff to Semenyih and now I have to bring them back again. And of course, I have to bring it there again. Sad.
Anyway, those were the busy days that were passed. Now, holiday time. Back at hometown, wondering what to do. I know I have to finish my puzzle, Final Fantasy IX on PlayStation, probably enhance my blog and sort of my cards I guess. Anyway, wish me luck on those things to be done....

Miss Universe 2007

The result for this year's Miss Universe is quite surprising to me, as an Asian has won the crown. What's more surprising is that the Miss Photogenic and Miss Congeniality went to 2 other Asians as well.

The Miss Universe, Riyo Mori, was crowned the Miss Universe 2007. I did not even know that the competition was going on, until I read the headline of The Star. 3 Asian women took all 3 titles, which is quite a rare sight to me. Usually there will always be a western who will win one of the titles. That is why I decided to blog about it. Simply surprising....

Mini Austion and Mini Cooper

This are my two favourite cars, apart from the Malaysia's Kelisa. The reason why I like Kelisa is also because it looks like Mini Austin and Mini Cooper. Cooper is really my dream car. Will try my best to get one. Austin is classic, I do not mine having one too actually. The price of a Austin is now around RM 20,000, in good condition.

Anyways, I love Minis.....

Door - The Most Suspenseful Thing

I got this idea few months back. I was wondering what was the most suspenseful thing, and it just hit my mind that it is a door.

A person who does not know what lies behind the door, is always wondering what is there to be found behind it. Whether it is a door that leads to a long, abandon house, or a lift door, or a door to a new house, it brings suspense to a person. It is just a matter of perspective on how you look at it, as for me, it does brings me wonders, although you might not feel the same. Just have a thought about it...

Tesco #7 - Pop Up Words

The above photo shows the creativity of Tesco to use Pop Up words on their flood. Yeah that's right, they are on the floor of Tesco, to show the sections of their products. Looks really, really cool, as in they are real words.

Anyway, this is a short post, have no idea what to do now after the exams. Feel kinda bored, apart from just DotA and download. Want to go back home to SP to DotA with Way Chow and all. Hope that I have the chance....

After Exams - Planet Hollywood

*Photos are taken from the cameras of Sean and Sharifah.

Exams are finally over yesterday and it was a great day to have a dinner out with friends. Planet Hollywood it was, the place for us to dine and celebrate the end of our foundation year. Everything went well, and everyone was having a fun time. Laughters, jokes and sound of eating could be heard in the dinner. It was undeniably wonderful, although people like Jermain, Farah, Zayana and Fadya could not join us. Everyone was just having fun, and that makes me happy.

So I guess that signals the end of the Business Foundation year. It is a good bye for Farah as she is leaving for Canada in the summer. I wonder when will she come back again. Many of us, will be taking different course. It was just the time of when fun comes, and we already have to split. Tears of joy and sadness will probably be crafted at the hearts of some, as for me, it was more to tears of sadness than joy, although I did not really cry. I will really miss everyone in the Foundation even if we are seeing each other again in September........
Planet Hollywood, a great place for dining.
Walking towards Planet Hollywood with joys on our faces.

Fiery Chicken was my choice for main course. Had Caeser Salad for appetizer but, forgot to take a shot of it.

Exam Period

Tomorrow is my first day of my final examination. Starting with MacroEconomics. Haven't been studying much as I should be, because I have been DotAing a lot. So all the best to me for my coming papers. World Economy is the killer one, as it is so broad and the lecturer talked about things from paintings to investments. It is really a weird module. Management also seems hard, as there are many theories and processes to memorise. After this Friday, I should be much more relax anymore, as the last two papers are Accounting and Maths. So I won't be blogging much for the moment. Can't wait till it is all over....

Non-Batman Beam

This photo is taken when I was at Bandar Tasik Selatan KTM station, after coming back from Time Square. I managed to get a good shot of the beam. Just it was just lucky timing. Anyway, I did not see any Batman sign in the sky. No other signs were found in the sky in fact. Guess that was not a call for any superhero.

Superheroes have things to inform them about dangers. Batman has Gotham's beam, Superman has his long hearing sharp voices of people calling for help and Spiderman has his spider sense. Am I right for that?

Alright, guess it is time for me to stop crapping now. Next month will be a busy month for me, as I will be having final exams and also in search for my new house for next semester.......
