Social Media Startup - Creating a Wordpress Account

2010-12-03T12:41:00.001+08:00

How was your weekend? Did you receive a call/e-mail from HostGator which asked you to verify your email? If you have not receive any of that, I would recommend you to contact them by using their Live Chat Function which can be found on the top right hand corner of their website.

I'm sure you are excited to learn how to setup a Wordpress account. After linking your webhosting to domain last week, you are now just a few clicks away from getting your blog ready.

First, I need you to login to the cPanel of your website. You can do so by typing website URL and followed by /cpanel (example: yourdomain.com/cpanel). This will save you time from remembering the URL which was sent by HostGator. Key in your username and password when prompted. If you forgot your username and password, please check your e-mail. If you deleted that e-mail, then please use the Live Chat function on their website.

Now you will see your control panel with lots of icons. Don't get confused or dizzy. Just scroll down until you see a smiley face button called "Fantastico De Luxe". Click on that, and you will see a page which has a lot of words on the left (as shown below).

Now click on Wordpress (under the blog category). As you can see, in the installation location, your domain is already chosen. If you have multiple domains on the same webhosting, then please choose the appropriate one. You will then have an option on whether to put your blog in a specific directory. What does this mean? For example, our BIG Vision blog on www.bigvisionsocialmedia.com by default because we did not specify a directory. You can key in blog as the directory and your Wordpress blog will appear at yourdomain.com/blog.

Next, key in your preferred username and password in the Admin Access Data section. You can also opt to specify an admin nickname for yourself so that when you write every blog post, the name of the author will follow your nickname. You can also choose to use a different e-mail address for Wordpress. Go ahead and fill in the description field if you have any special description you want to write about your blog.

After that, click on the Install Wordpress button and you are done! Please allow a couple of minutes to a few hours for your blog to appear. You can login to your Wordpress sytem via yourdomain.com/wp-login.php. Key in your username and password, and you will see the Wordpress Dashboard.

Our next article will teach you what configurations you can do with your blog before you get started. Till then, have fun exploring around.....

2010-12-03T12:40:00.001+08:00

Thanks for following us until this tutorial. Here you will learn how to link your domain to your webhosting and get it started. Many people do not understand what does it mean by linking a domain to a webhosting. Well, it's pretty simple, imagine a domain is a license plate number and a webhosting is a car. If you buy a license plate number, you will have to put it on a car in order to use the car, hence the linking.

Now, you need to log in to your Namecheap account. If you have not purchase a domain name, please do so there. First, click on the "Manage Domains" button on the top bar.

After that, you can see your domain name. Click on it and click on "Transfer DNS to your webhost" button on the left bar. Now, open up your email and look for the receipt which was sent by HostGator. Remember the 2 nameservers given in the email? Now you have to put the nameservers in NS1 into field 1, while the NS2 into field 2. Then press save changes.

That's it. It's pretty simple. Please allow 24-48 hours till your domain goes online and you can see access it from your Control Panel. Next week, we will guide you on how to install Wordpress onto your website. See you.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING BELOW

2007-07-11T22:47:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-08T22:03:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-07T23:59:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-06T21:15:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-05T23:26:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-04T22:55:00.000+08:00

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

2007-07-01T23:33:00.001+08:00

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

2007-06-30T22:16:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-28T16:15:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-24T12:36:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-23T09:25:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-20T20:45:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-17T12:38:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-11T08:17:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-08T10:59:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-04T18:35:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-01T23:08:00.000+08:00

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

2007-05-28T12:25:00.000+08:00

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

2007-05-23T02:40:00.000+08:00

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

2007-05-20T18:07:00.000+08:00

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

2007-05-17T21:12:00.000+08:00

*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.
Wonderful Chocolate Brownie. The Chocolate was really thick.
Wen Yun, our record holder for _ _ _ _ est eater. You do the guessing.

Exam Period

2007-05-06T12:31:00.000+08:00

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

2007-04-30T22:23:00.000+08:00

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.......

Investigation Edition #2 - Stuart Little - Jungle Edition

2007-04-29T23:17:00.000+08:00

Once again, I went to the jungle after hearing that a dead rat was found in a house. Once I arrived, there was really a dead rat, with little drips of blood on the floor. The house tenants claimed that the rat was bitten by a cat. One of the tenant heard the sound of a cat and in the house and noises. After snapping the photos, it was time for the young little friend to go. The dead rat, dead with the eyes still open.
After a few days, there was another rat found, but this time it was alive and was hiding in one of the tenant's rooms. They set up a trap for the rat and it was caught. Douglas, one of the house tenants, fed the rat with some biscuits, and let him off late in the day, near a river.
The rat was helpless in the trap, as there was no way out until it was released. The rat seemed quite cute to me, although it is quite dirty.

This was the tenant who had his room invaded by the captured rat.
The picture was edited to reduce partial nuditiy.

They house tenants told me that they have numerous rat encounters in the house, and they have become their friends, as they never harm them. The best part was, they call them "Kawan", which is a Malay term for friends, but not Stuart Little though. Well, I guess the Stuart Little here is black, instead of white. Anyway, I wished them good luck with the rats as I left the house, in search for another case to investigate.

6 In An Hour?

2007-04-25T19:50:00.000+08:00

The newspaper stated that there are 6 reported stroke cases every hour in Malaysia. Hmm, this seems serious. This means that there will be 52,560 people who will suffer from stroke in a year. The statistics shows that you or me can even be the 1 out of 52,560 victims yearly. This is really scary.

Anyway, what caused all this in Malaysia. I would say one of the most popular reason is the food. Mamak every week by most Malaysians, Roti Canai as breakfast, fast food like McDonalds and KFC eaten when shopping. Malaysia's food is no doubt delicious and mouth watering, but it can causes stroke. Knowing that my body health is already quite bad and the statistics is serious, I really ought to keep watch of my diet......

Rants on Fast Food #2 - KFC Small Chicken

2007-04-23T19:53:00.000+08:00

My management group went to Semenyih's KFC today and we ordered the Family Feast 1. We were having fun eating all the food. After I finished one piece of chicken, and looked inside the box, I found a small drumstick. I was like WTF. Since when fast food shrunk so much? First it was McDonalds and now it is KFC. Next, will it be Pizzas? I am so going to reduce on fast food consumption. Chillies would be so much better.....

Investigate Edition #1 - BBQ - Semenyih Edition

2007-04-21T13:43:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, the Investigate Edition (EDISI SIASAT - a Malaysian show) team went to the jungle of semenyih and found fire in one of the areas. Me, an undercover spy went to blend in with the crowd and went to find for more details on what it seemed like a Barbecue. With much preparation and my beloved camera phone, I joined the event, hoping to get a great story out of those who were involved. The first person I saw, the man who started the fire for the barbecue. That explains why there was fire in the middle of Semenyih. They call him the King Scout.
Their security man, checking the laptop to see whether any police was coming to intrude the barbecue event. I had tried to peep at what he was watching and he claimed that it was not porn.
This was the master chef, all the way from USA. He was teaching the people in Semenyih new recipes I guess. Everyone event needs a good cook isn't it?
Two females attended the event. The one with the covered face, is known to be lucky, as she won 2 lucky draw prizes. Both of them - A Desperate Housewives fan.
Another female spotted in the secluded area. She is what they call a Doraemon fan, as she had a lot of Doraemon stuff. Besides that, her nickname includes Akun and Broga Drift Queen.
Ah, another chef spotted. Thank God he was poking the chicken with the stick, but not other stuffs.
Female agian. It seemed that this is a Selangor State Swimmer and she beat the guys in her university in swimming.
Poor animals on the barbecue pit. There was lamb, fish balls, chicken, fish, sausages, and the weird one, a brinjal.

They were kind enough to give me a group photo of theirs, before I left. Note: There was one male in the photo which I forgot to take, which is the black shirt guy with the peace sign. They call him Mr.Cheese, but I just prefer to call him Encik Keju.

It was a great experience to know them all from the event. This wraps up the first episode of Investigation Edition. I consider themselves clean, as in not violating Jabatan Alam Sekitar with the fire event. Episode 2 awaits.....

Virginia Tech Massacre

2007-04-18T22:23:00.000+08:00

The Virginia Tech Massacre was really scary when you think about it. First of all, I want to send my condolences to all the families of the victims.

The tragedy shocked quite a number of people, I would say, as it is the worst shootout in US history. After hearing about the tragedy by my parents, my chances of going to Work and Travel USA next time will be event lesser. But anyway, the tragedy is really a sad one and there were not many things about the shooter, on why did he do it.

I did some surfing through the next, trying to keep up to date with the event. The website here has the two plays which was written by the shooter in class, and his plays really shocked his classmates and lecturers. The first play, Richard McBeef is really scary, but the other Mr. Brownstone was not that violent.

I really pity everyone the victims and also the families of the victims. I found this video in YouTube and it is really nice.

Morning Inspiration

2007-04-16T10:53:00.000+08:00

This post is written in Notepad by me on my laptop when I did not have any internet connection.

I seem to have trouble sleeping just now, as I slept once I reached home at around 10 in the night. Woke up around 1 in the morning and tried to go back to sleep, but I just ended up turning around my bed here and there. Probably a lot of thing suddenly struck at my mind and I do not seem to be able to go to sleep. I was awake since 2.00 AM. So here I am now, 6.42AM still awake since I last slept. I watched Stranger Than Fiction just now. Although it is not a comedy movie, which I thought it would be, I truly enjoyed it, especially words used by the author to write her book.

Anyway, I am also staying up, not really staying up though as it is because I could not go back to sleep, to type an E-mail and to do my MacroEconomics Assignment and World Economy Assignment. Norah Jones's song is also playing next to me, to keep me comfort, and I can hear birds chirping, which is not part of the song. The sky looks like bluish purple to me, through a curtain and a glass panel.

And yes, I am blogging from my house, by typing into the notepad and save it so that I can upload it later as I am inspire at 6 in the morning to start writing.....

PC Fair April 2007

2007-04-15T22:07:00.000+08:00

I went to PC Fair on Friday with Sean, Sze Wei, Dennis, Jian Yea, Chong and Gan. Quite a tiring outing though and I took 3 hours to reach back to my place due to technical problem experienced by KTM. Before I went, I have 2 things which I have targeted - 4GB pendrive and 120GB external 2.5 inch harddisk. Had a problem searching for 4GB Kingston pendrive as only 2 shops were selling them, because many of them decided to keep the pendrive as they predicted the prices will go up. At last I do get what I wanted and it was quite satisfied. That was my first PC Fair in KL. Anyway, the pictures will speak....From left to right: Dennis, Sze Wei (PK) and Chong.
Speaker section.
SONIC GEAR Products.
Samsung cool TV. Gears of War is being played on it.

Asus's Lamborghini laptop. It was valued at more than RM 10,000. Nice.

Damn KTM, they had to fix something, which caused a havoc.
Got what I wanted. 4GB pendrive and got 2 Kingston free gifts.
This is my external harddisk casing.
This is how it looks like. The harddisk is already inside. Yeah 120 GB ! Rock...

Raffles Lucky Draw

2007-04-13T09:01:00.000+08:00

There was a Raffles Draw (Lucky Draw) at my university yesterday. A lot of people turned in hoping to win prizes. One ticket costed RM 1.00. I only bought one actually, just to try my luck to see how lucky am I . There are people who buy up to 50 tickets. Scary shit.

Anyway, everyone was hoping to win and obviously I did not win anything. The organisers (Student Association Committee) were happy to see the number of tickets which they sold. I guess everyone were happy. My friend, Tan Su Lyn bought just 5 tickets and she won 2 prizes - a handphone and a RM 50.00 voucher.

Lucky.......
Haha. Pictures of few of my friends during the draw....
This is Tan Su-Lyn with her LG handphone prize.

Rants on Fast Food #1 - Expensive McDonald Burger

The prices of McDonald Burgers here are getting really expensive, especially Filet o' Fish and McChicken. Filet o' Fish was only RM 4.00 last time and now it had went above RM 5.00 . The price is really expensive now. That is why now I will normally order ~~Filet o' Fish~~ Chicken burger and McEgg or perhaps Banana Pie.

That is why they are giving all the coupons lately to promote people to buy them. Anyway, if prices increased, the portion should stay the same. Check the burger below out and you will see that the portion has shrink, and it is just a slice of cheese....
This is what advertisement showed for Filet o' Fish.

This is what I got for buying Filet o' Fish. Look at the little cheese given.

Finding Forrester (2000)

2007-04-07T13:01:00.000+08:00

Source from http://www.impawards.com/2000/posters/finding_forrester.jpg.

I just finished watching Finding Forrester (2000), a movie with a message of the importance of friendship and always follow your dream. At last, I managed to watch the full movie, as I have only managed to watch the middle of the movie onwards last time.

The movie is truly inspiring to me, as it shows that true friendship certainly does not take age, skin colour and the background of a person into account. All it takes is being there for your friend when he or she is in need. Besides, I love the way the movie uses writing skills as a background plot which inspire to write more as I really miss my inspiring moments since my first blog.

Does a blog full with love desires attract people or was it just because Friendster kept friends updated everytime I update my blog? Or was it pure inspiration which came from my heart during my depressing moments which attract all the readers?

I do not know, as none of my friends actually told me what was nice to read in my first blog back then. Anyway, I am here now to convert this blog again to place for pure inspiration and I know few friends of mine who blog, who inspire me to do so.

I give the movie a 9 out of 10. Pure inspiration....

Technological Malfunction

2007-04-05T20:02:00.000+08:00

There seem to be a lot of my friends' things spoiled this few day. One of my friend's Acer laptop has a lot of blackholes on them. Looks cool in a way, but irritating cause you cannot see where are things.

Another one would be a pendrive problem. It seems some virus has infected his pendrive and the pendrive tend to claims itself as a 20GB storage device. Check it out below, it's true. 20 GB....Blackholes on Acer laptop.

20 GB pendrive. Speechless....

Bad Health Condition

2007-04-02T23:44:00.000+08:00

There was an event in my university today which had few companies came to promote cosmetics and health products. It was basically a female event, but there was this booth, Lumine, where they had a free test on your health. It will tell you your body age and how is your blood circulation. Basically I just have to put my finger and they will test it for me. Of course I was not sure whether the result would be true or not, but it was free.
Lumine was the company's products. This was the result of the test.

After getting the result, the lady explained to me about my health. Artery seems to be hardened and my heart seems weak. That made me realised that it was partially true, as my heart hurts sometimes, since I was quite young. But I was not sure whether was that a muscle pain or whether it was my heart, but this clarify it.

As for artery hardening, the lady said I should not play heavy sports, as my blood vessels might not take it. I feel that it is kind of true also, as every time I played basketball, since few years back, there will be this stage where I start to get dizzy and my vision feels whitish a little.

The last part was my favourite. The lady claims that my body age is 40 years as calculated by using the result of the test and some formula. Ah, I was quite happy actually when I heard of this, as I did tell my housemates feel months back that I predict that I would die around late 20s or early 30s. That result seems to prove me partially right I guess.

All I can say is that my health condition is due to poor diet, especially with the intake of fast food always, lack of exercise (my friends know this) and of course my depression period since 2004. However, I have a positive mind which is, if my prediction of my death is correct, I hope you all who read this will always remember me as the person who had predicted the time he is going to die.....

K618

2007-03-31T10:31:00.000+08:00

My two friend just bought Sony Ericsson, K618, which is quite new here. Anyway, the phone looks kind of nice, especially the joystick in particular. They have decided to change the joystick to the better one, as the old one will malfunction after a while, like my K750i. Moreover it has 3G !

I did a comparison between the two phones, in the quality of the photos taken by the K618 and also my K750i. I prefer to put the quality of the camera in priority when it comes to buying phones, as I do not really like to buy a digital camera. Therefore, I like 2 in 1. After taking photo with the new camera, I do not know what is really the difference, but it seems to me that the K618's camera quality might just be better....K618

Random Post #3

2007-03-28T21:15:00.000+08:00

Just some random post, since I have no idea on what to write. I still have my work, which is due this Friday. I have learnt a lot from this work - on what should be done, handling things, understand people and also yourself.

I know I can pull this off, but I need guidance, I need support, I need a friend who will be there for me, where neither success or failure occurs. I just need a person, a person whom understand. Alright, back to my work. As for the pictures, once again, they will do the talking....A blackout in the computer lab. Luckily the computers were not out of power, which made it looked like a cyber cafe environment.
The white Kelisa has gone 23,333 KM of wetness, heat, joy, pain and silence.

Tesco #6 - Long Tesco Bill

2007-03-25T11:21:00.000+08:00

My housemates went to Tesco to buy things for their society. As you can see, there's only 2 kinds of items that they buy and you would not like to know what is that and why they buy so much of those. Anyway look at the total. RM 606.50 !!!! I did not even managed to see such a long bill and such a big amount from Tesco. Geng.......

Talent Quest - Nottingham Idol 2007 #2

2007-03-20T14:00:00.000+08:00

I was not there when they were doing this audition and the photos are not taken by me.

This audition happened quite long ago. Just didn't had the time to get the photos and edit it to post it up here. The final will be tonight tough. The photos in this post are of the Final 6 only. I did not take all 12 contestant's photos, as I think perhaps it is not that necessary.

The results are as follows:
1. Livingstone - 17.7%
2. Einstien - 16.6%
3. Jojo - 13.8%
4. Zaim - 11.1%
5. Bernard - 9.0%

9. Meei Yunn - 4.6%
10. Yuri - 3.7%
11. Anis - 1.9%
12 - Intan - 0.5%

Jojo seems to have a lot of fans, especially from the guys of course. Whereas Einstein seems to be famous among all the girls. As for Livingstone, he is really good (claimed Sean Der). I'll let the photos do the talking. Alright, I will not be there tonight, so I guess I just have to wish all the best to the final six.....The crowd looked great. Just that it is not a comfortable hall.
The hosts, techinal person and the organiser are getting ready.
These were the hosts for the day.

Livingstone seemed to get the crowd going well.

Einstein seemed to get all the girls' support.
Einstein. I guess female readers will say that he looks handsome.
Jojo. The famous one among all the male fans.
Look at the guy with the camera phone. He was taking photos of Jojo.

No idea what were everyone's reactions, but they looked shock.
This is Chui San.
This is Bernard.
Ah, this is Sean Der. Haha.
Zaim, seemed to be quite good at the song Sway.
After everything finished, everyone left the place. Sean Der is standing on the right taking photos.

Good News

2007-03-19T16:37:00.000+08:00

Good news for all the Foundation students. I could see the joy of everyone's face, when the news was spread. It is because our presentation and report, which I was telling that I was working on, has finally been postponed for the students to hand in. To see more details, the bottom image will let you know the a clearer understanding.

Anyway, why so many students were also happy is because Thursday is the UNIM SIFE Fashion Show which will be held at Zouk. The schedule hand in date was Friday, which shattered the hopes of most students in the class, but now, the lights on their eyes glow again. Anyway, go and join the fashion show. People life Yvonne Foong, Blackjetta VC and hopefully Kenny Sia will be there. Anyways, so relieved....

Information Travels Fast

2007-03-16T21:55:00.000+08:00

I know I am not suppose to be blogging, but I am really sleepy and my work is still undone. Stuck in the computer lab now for two days until 2 am. I don't feel like going on with my work, so I have decided to blog.

Check out this video (It's in mandarin, so no offence to those that do not understand mandarin). It's called Muar Chinese in YouTube. I didn't really get all the meaning, but it's quite funny at some parts. Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that the video has been just added on March 7 and there are already a total of 139,430 viewers. Its origin of the video is in Muar, which is south of Malaysia and now it is slowly going around Malaysia really fast. Everyone is starting to know about the video, and after I posting it here, more people will start to know about it. Anyway, back to work....

Muar Chinese

Pendrive Lost !!!!

2007-03-15T23:01:00.000+08:00

What a bad time to lose my pendrive. It's like I have quite a lot of documents with me in the pendrive. Moreover presentation and all coming up. Have to transfer here and there. I hope my harddisk does not give up on me. Guess it's time to go to Low Yat and get the 4GB pendrive. Unfortunate now, but happy later, if my harddisk is healthy.......

2 Hardest Weeks

2007-03-13T21:12:00.000+08:00

This calls for blogging when I am down. Have not blogged so long when I am down. Feel really inspired lately to blog because of Norah Jones's songs. Her songs are really great when one is in love, when one is down, when one is lost in love, when one is lost in life. Her songs are the help that I am seeking for in order for me to cope with this 2 hardest weeks ever.

I have a World Economy presentation coming up next Friday and I do not know how to go on for the work. As a matter of fact I do not know whether I can manage to go through the last semester of this Foundation. Well, I have considered, if I can't, I will apply to all the biggest company in Malaysia to work at. I know I will definitely be employed, as I am employing for the position of a toilet cleaner. Perhaps with much effort and hard work, a new position can be created, which is toilet manager. I can then tell people that I am working at a big company.

I really need a break but the only break that will help me out is definitely in the summer. Can't wait for the trip to Singapore in the middle of the year. Anyway, wish me good luck in everything, as I really pushing myself although my brain has been exhausted, my eyes are being tired, my body is feeling fatigue and my soul is feeling soulless.......

2007-03-10T14:55:00.000+08:00

I'm not sure what to update for this blog, as the next two weeks are going to be really reallly tough for me. It's either success or failure. Trying to pull it off with greatness, but it will take so much effort that I have never done before. So probably I will not be able to update the blog so often anymore.

What I have found here is few YouTube videos. The most viewed Eolution Dance, Korean Noodles and the famousRK house video. Enjoy.....

Torrent - 200 KB/sec

2007-03-08T10:09:00.000+08:00

What happens if there is wireless in your class and you have a laptop with a torrent programme? Continue to download of course and that is what I have been doing in the lecture halls. Just on my computer, connected to the wireless, on my torrent programme and just sit back to enjoy the lecture. If you see the picture below for the total download speed, you will be able to see the total download speed, which is 200KB/sec. I know this is common for many people from different country, but my country's internet speed is still slow. To see such speed is really a great record in my life......

Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre Trip

2007-03-06T17:16:00.000+08:00

Went to Balakong on Friday for dinner, since my housemates and I do not know where to have dinner. The Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre is also known as Jusco, is just newly opened not long ago. It is basically just a two storey building, with not many grand retail shops like Nike or G2000. It's just a simple shopping centre that is still growing.

TGV Cinemas coming soon. Next time can go there watch movies !!!!
GreenBox Karaoke. It's something similar to the well known RedBox.
Saw a PlayStation 3 in a Game Shop. It costs RM 2899.00 currently. Will get one when the price falls.
RM 5.00 pillows. Cheap and nice. Long lasting? Not sure about that.
Ate at food & tea. It's like Kim Garry. Anyway, was really full.
Went to Jusco to buy Honey Dew which costs RM 1.50. Ate after dinner.
Before leaving, we saw this alien at a shop. It was quite cool. Hope can get one for myself.
It was really a great trip to go there. Had a really full dinner, with almost vomiting effect due to extreme fullness. Feel like going there again next time if time allows me to.....

31 Days in February?

2007-03-04T21:29:00.000+08:00

Was trying to edit my profile in Friendster and I found out that they did not fix the days available in a month. When I pressed on February, there are options to be chosen for 30 and 31, which is so far non-existed in February. Now it's kinda cool since they have this cool feature. Those who wish to remain their birthday really anonymous can finally used this feature. Cool and weird.......

Talent Quest - Nottingham Idol 2007 #1

2007-03-02T15:03:00.000+08:00

*Photos were taken from Sean @ sean88.blogspot.com.

Yesterday was the start for Nottingham (Malaysia Campus) Idol audition. There were quite a number of turn outs. A lot of people were supporting there friends and some were supporting the judges. Anyway, none of my friends that I know went for the audition. The bad side of this audition is that there is no recorded video which can be played back to everyone to see. So, basically none of use can hear any comments or reactions of the contestants or the judges, as it was done behind sound proof glass.

To get photos of the talent quest audition, you must have insider and I do have a soon to be professional photographer friend, Sean, inside the room taking photos. That is how I got the photos and some comments from him. It seems that there are more guys who are better than the girls. Great pictures from him, as they are taken from a great camera. Full credits to him.

Anyway, the guy in the third photo sings quite well, as I did hear him singing before, while walking around the campus. Just hope that he wins the competition. The funny part of the competition is that I found that there is a slight opposite to what American Idol does. As you can see in the judges' photo below, there are 3 people, with a female judge in the middle, which is similar to American Idol. But the first judge is not having a dark skin, the middle judge is not having a quite tan skin and the last judge is having dark skin. This is unlike the American judges, where the first judge is having a dark skin, the middle judge is having a quite tan skin and Simon Cowell is not having a dark skin. It's quit funny when you think about it.

Will keep updated with the results next time......
The judges for the talent quest.
These are the American Idol judges. Do compare them.

Mess Up in Government Website

2007-02-28T13:47:00.000+08:00

My friend was going online to check whether he had be saman by traffic police. The website is at http://jpj.myeg.com.my. When my friend keyed in his Identification Card (IC) number, it turned out to be a different person's name. It's Mardiani Binti Rozali. What's worse that it is a girl's name instead of a guy's. I mean how mess up can this be. Correct number leads to a wrong person? And they are advertising their website on the radio so often lately. I guess, they have to look at their problems to ensure a good quality website for the society to rely on. What a mistake I have to say........

Tesco #5 - Tesco Packing

2007-02-26T13:32:00.000+08:00

Tesco has many products of their own now and many of them are substitutes to other existing products because of their low prices. However, I have never seen a nice outlook of the packing of the Tesco's products until the other day when I came across 2 products.

I feel that the label for the products are very cool and nice. It really captures my eyes as I really like the colour scheme and the pictures.....

Janet Jackson Then and Now

2007-02-24T15:38:00.000+08:00

Cited from http://www.sitevip.net/janet_jackson/images/JanetCover.jpg
This is the Janet Jackson I know. I still remember the wardrobe malfunction which happens to her. She was so famous during that time, and even people who are not a fan of her also went to look for her pictures. Honestly, her songs are just ok to me, nothing great and she is not that famous to me.
Then one day, I was looking around a book store and I saw a magazine with this face on. I was wondering who is she and the picture is showing like an old aunty with a funny hair, nose and mouth. It really scares me. When I read the cover, it was Janet Jackson. I am not sure whether it is really her, but if it is true then I guess Janet Jackson is now the same as her brother Michael Jackson, whom has a facial disaster.

If it is really her, I feel so sorry for her. Why on earth would people want to change the looks of their faces? Makes no sense to me.....

The Beauty of Depression

2007-02-21T18:58:00.000+08:00

It has been 2 years plus now since I have suffered from depression. Yeah I'm not afraid to say it out here. Depression is clearly a serious sickness and I am so glad that I am so coming out of it. It takes a lot of time and love to managed to overcome it. However, being not depressed has some disadvantages. You might think that it is funny, but there is a beauty of depression.

The best thing about depression is that I will feel very expressive and I tend to blog as much as possible. I just have to write whatever that is coming across my mind. That's what happened to my past 2 blogs, where a lot of thoughts that is coming into my mind are just there. The first blog was really a hit, as it has all kinds of depressive things. Really missed those days where inspiration is all around in me. Even a lot of number one songs in the Billboard are also sound depressive. So it's really true, depression can really gives inspiration, and that's the beauty of it.........

Happy Chinese New Year 2007

2007-02-20T16:38:00.001+08:00

Chinese New Year is here. This year is a Pig year, which is the last Chinese zodiac in the Chinese calender. All the people will be start believing in fung shui again. It happens every year and I find it weird. Is fung shui really that effective? I'm not really sure. Seems that Pig is having an inauspicious year this year.

Anyway, Chinese New Year is actually nothing special to me. All the relatives will come back (sometimes) and meet together, eat together, give and get ang pau. All the usual thing that has been going on for the past years and it is quite boring. Nothing much to do actually, except there is a thing which is fun to play with every Chinese New Year and I guess everyone knows what is that. Hint*: Not Firecracker though. Anyway, for the past few years, my Chinese New Year is always not as fine as it is, which means it is worse than fine. i really have no mood for Chinese New Year. I have to admit that Christmas plays a more important role in myself, apart from Chinese New Year. Some will then say that I am a bit crazy and weird and of course I have to say that I am.

I just want to apologize to all my relatives if I offended and did not entertain them. I just have not in the mood. If you were to see me in Christmas, I am always joyful. Weird.........

Before Chinese New Year, went Tesco with my seniors. This is Li-Ann in the lion head.
Ah, doesn't see look like the pig? *No offense*
My senior, Chi Ming, looking at the weird pig.

Valentine's Day

2007-02-14T20:25:00.000+08:00

Valentine's Day is today. The day where all lovers are celebrating their love together. Although there are many who cannot be their lovers today, but their hearts will be. I feel that counts a lot. There are a lot of couples will be having their lovely dinner in a fancy restaurant or some might just eat delicious home cooked meals. A lovely day for the couples.

However, I am curious to know why is there such day. I mean can't couples celebrate their love everyday? Must they celebrate it on that day only? It is kind of weird though. Anyways, for those who have no one to celebrate with, just go out with friends or sit on the couch to watch some romance movies. It will be fun.

Happy Valentines......

Car Trip To Mid Valley

2007-02-10T13:14:00.000+08:00

Managed to drive to Mid Valley yesterday. No pictures along the way. Let's just say it was kinda of a close shave. Lucky that I reached there........

P2P Throttling and TM

2007-02-08T23:13:00.000+08:00

I found two articles on P2P Throttling regarding TM. It's at Low Yat website. The two links are http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/p2p-throttling-tmnet-replies.html and http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/broadband-throttling-the-star-takes-notice.html.

The first article is quite hilarious. It shows you how bad is the company on replying matters. If you read the forum, other replies to the subject matter also does not seem to answer the question on what people are looking for. Things are getting serious for the past week and so far, it just improves a little, but not much. The throttling really kills P2P, especially when it comes to Torrent.

Steps should be taken to address this matter, as we as consumers have signed contracts stating that we have 100% bandwidth and the current matter does not seem to be on our side.

However, the matter have been brought to the newspaper as you can see in the second article. I hope this is a starting point to restore the Internet service back to its original condition, which is when the time where everyone was happy. How I wish there is a big Internet Service Provider to come into Malaysia to compete with TM, so that there will be quality improvements and will make the consumers happy......

Tourism Exhibition and Wedding Expo

2007-02-05T22:11:00.000+08:00

Went to Mid Valley yesterday and I found a Tourism Exhibition there and a Wedding Expo there. I would say that the two events had a great connection, which is after planning your marriage date, then book holiday tickets for your honeymoon.

The Tourism Exhibition, in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2007, was nothing really great though. Just few companies offering holiday packages, and there's no doubt that AirAsia is there. There were not many people there and I managed to find 5 people standing on the stage with their back facing the audience. They were showing their "great" dance in front of everyone in order to win something. Everyone was just doing some crazy dance with the music played. The winner got a stay at a hotel, which I have forgotten the name . Just some random people dancing around.
After visiting the Tourism Exhibition, I went to the Wedding Expo 2007. Seemed to be the 4th KL expo this year. I realised that all the people were all gathering at the Wedding Expo, because there will girls dressing up in wedding gowns doing a fashion walk on stage. That's where they went. In addition, many couples were gathering at various shops to ask about the usual wedding phototaking. The ladies doing the fashion walk were not really beautiful though. However, I found the most beautiful one, dressing up in a wedding gown. Was better than the 4 ladies.....

4th KL Wedding Expo
Not really beautiful.
Same again, not really beautiful.
Too, was not beautiful.
4 of the not so beautiful girls.
Ah, the most beautiful one of all. LOL.

Car Trip To Berjaya Time Square

2007-02-03T17:23:00.000+08:00

I managed to drove to Berjaya Time Square with my friends yesterday. Bear in mind that the Malaysian edition of Time Square is totally different from the one in the United States. It was a successful outing as there was no accident, as I was really unfamiliar with the roads in Kuala Lumpur. So I was a bit nervous too, as the cars there are so much faster and the drivers are crazier. Anyway, just watched movies with my friends, Epic Movie and Blood & Chocolate. Epic Movie was really bad, but the other was quite nice. At last, I managed to drive to Berjaya Time Square. The next one I want to try would probably be Mid Valley.... KL Tower
Petronas Twin Tower
Berjaya Time Sqaure
It's getting nearer to Berjaya Time Square
Just a random picture of Time Square
Would love to watch this movie, as I really like Mr.Bean
A poster of Daniel Lee (Malaysian Idol). But, the head is broke a little and I wonder why the shop owner does not want to fix it. Perhaps they think he's not important. (Ops, fans will hit me for saying that)
Newly open Marrybrown in Time Sqaure.
Marrybrown burger with red stain. Does not seem like a good impression.
It is because of the way they wrap the burger with this red wraper.
Got this angpow from a shop next to Marrybrown. look at the validation date for this angpow in order to get a discount. It is after Chinese New Year. =.="
On the way back, there was a SLK 200 in front of me. Nice.

Sungai Long/Long River (English)

2007-02-02T22:35:00.000+08:00

I went to Sungai Long yesterday with my housemates. Sungai Long is what it is called in Malay, and I'm not sure whether they have an English name for that place, cause if it is directly translated to English, it is called Long River.

Anyway, the place is quite nice to go to. However, it will get bored too, if many trips are made to there. I like the building design for the shophouses there though. It makes me feel like I'm living in the European countries.

There is an (University Tunku Abdul Rahman)UTAR campus nearby there and many of the students are basically staying near there. The food there is considered very cheap I guess, for a place in a Selangor state. Furthermore, there are 3 Internet Cafes in Sungai Long and the best one is e-century Internet Cafe. Basically it is quite a quite but nice place to stay at it certainly has more things to do there than the "jungle".......A random view of the shophouses.
RM 3.2 for this. It's very cheap.

Random Post #1

2007-02-01T13:44:00.000+08:00

Today is Thaipusam, so there's nothing much to do, but to stay in the computer lab, using desktop and laptop to surf around the net and see what I can find.

Got the following picture from Henry. He took a photo of a shop with the name "ipcsohpping". Is Malaysian English that bad, or they did that purposely. Shouldn't it be "ipcshopping"? Even my sister know that it is a spelling error.
ipcsohpping? Or should it be ipcshopping?
Just did some random sufing on the net. I guess, MoSai is right, Wikipedia is really cool to go to, as you can find anything there, as long as there is someone who write it. Went to find some random things and I managed to find articles on my previous school, SMK Ibrahim. Click here! There is also information on our SPM, here, which shows the top scorers of SPM. It seems funny to be that the name of the person who started the "SPM Many Subject Trend" (no offence) is not there. I mean he, Ong Jin Hock, is the first one to do it with 13A, and it is not there? It does not make any sense to me on how it can be overlooked by the author of the article.

Last but not least, check out this link at Low Yat website. Nothing else to say. This is Malaysia...

Bukit Bintang a.k.a Star Hill

2007-01-28T23:08:00.000+08:00

Had a great day at Bukit Bintang yesterday. The food was great, environment was cool, weather was fine, people were nice, great night indeed. Really enjoyed myself at Bukit Bintang yesterday as I seldom go there explore without my parents. Now I know many people like to go there at night especially. As you can see in the picture, the Twin Tower and KL Tower can be seen from Bukit Bintang as they are near (for foreigners to know). Moreover, the McDonalds over there is quite a fun place to hang out as the music and the environment is quite nice.

I got to admit however that Bukit Bintang a.k.a Star Hill (direct translation to English) is a place which really require a lot of spending as the prices there are quite high. Star Hill Gallery is where you can get a big hole in your pocket. Luckily there is Sungai Wang Plaza which offers a lower price of products. For computer lovers, do head to Plaza Low Yat, where all the computer stuffs are all under one roof. Bukit Bintang/Star Hill..........

Post-Exam Week

2007-01-24T22:58:00.000+08:00

Just a video of what my friends were doing during the exam week and a random picture of my friend's leg. Everyone went a little crazy I guess, due to the tension and stuff. But now, everyone is glad that exam is over and everyone is just enjoying.....

A video of what my friends are doing in the dorm. Spanking people with towel, studying management, listening to music and throwing tennis ball at human balls.

Hairy leg of my friend. Name will not be disclosed, but I can assure you that it is not my room mate.

AirAsia - Manchester

2007-01-19T22:52:00.000+08:00

After exam, rushing like mad to the LCCT to have a nice flight back home for few days. It was an Airbus and "wrap" with Manchester United colour scheme. Really glad to know that AirAsia are having flights to UK soon. Booking starts on February. I guess Manchester United fans will be very happy that there is a flight to Manchester Airport. Prices are unbelievable low. AirAsia did a very good strategy, I must say. However, Oasis Airline Company is also doing the same thing, so I guess, there's competition, which is great for consumers as we will get quality for affordable price. Well done AirAsia....

KFC - Alaskan Fish vs ZInger MaxX

2007-01-13T20:18:00.000+08:00

I tried the Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC)'s Alaskan Fish Burger today. My friend decided to try it out, so I figured, "What the heck, just tried 2 burgers". I have tried Zinger MaxX before and I have to say that it was really great and I really love it.

However, the Alaskan Fish Burger was quite bad actually. Perhaps it is the sauce I think. The red sauce in the burger makes it taste weird. KFC claims that there is 30% more fish inside the burger. Hmm, I wonder which consumer will actually go and measure whether there is 30% more fish inside? They can even say that there is 50% fish inside.

Anyway, there is no harm trying right? At least that I know now how it taste like, I won't eat it anymore. For others who wish to try, go to this vkeong's website and download the online voucher where you can get 20% discount.

So I guess the winner for my choice goes to Zinger Maxx.....

Exam Period

2007-01-10T19:57:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is the first day of my exams. Feel so stressful and I guess I am going crazy soon. Can get the hang of it, but it does not feel the learning feeling to study all these for exams. Sounds confusing isn't it? Hard to explain, but there is always a feeling when a person is really studying to know something, but this currently isn't working out.

Alright, exams tomorrow.....

Ducks

2007-01-05T22:50:00.000+08:00

Just some random post which I do not know what to blog on. Took this photo at my university. Duck run, not chicken run. Used to have 4 ducks, but now it seems that the CEO bought more. I counted around 7 today. Busy next week, exam is coming. Guess blogging will have to stop for some time......

P.K. Time [P.K. Again?]

2007-01-02T19:29:00.000+08:00

I was walking around Mid Valley and I found this shop. P.K. Time. As my friend, Sean had said, only UNIM friends know the joke about this. You guys should check out Sean's blog to see the photos of his Kelantan trip. One of it is the shop, P.K. corner, which is a Mamak stall. We will surely make some jokes about the stall when we are back for our exam. See you P.K. ........

Happy New Year

2006-12-31T22:58:00.000+08:00

In around 1 hour time, 2007 is here. Tomorrow is a new year and I guess a lot of people are celebrating somewhere. I am just staying at home blogging. Going to sleep soon though. Kinda lazy to celebrate the new year.

Anyway, one of my new year resolutions is to tweak my blog into a better one. Will figure how to do it. Any comment is pretty much appreciated....

Happy New Year!!!

A While and on the Way

2006-12-28T23:25:00.000+08:00

I want to blog about this two phrase. That's right. A while and on the way. This two phrase is really common being used by Malaysian (I am not sure about other countries though).

A While
"Wait for a while ar," , "Just for a while only,", "A while only lar,". Phrases like this is very common. But how do you define a while? One minute? 10 seconds? 3 hours? How to define a while. My a while can be 1 hour, his a while can be 5 seconds. It is really confusing when it comes to people using a while. I cannot think of a word to substitute a while. A while....

On the Way
This word is another common word and is always the killer one. Why do I say so? Well, if you are waiting for a friend and you call him, he/she will say on the way. But what does that mean? On the way can just mean that the person just woke up from sleep. On the way can mean that the person is still 30 minutes a way from destination. On the way, really keeps people waiting those who use it....

It is really funny sometimes when you think about it. Try to think what you friends say at times and it will be quite funny. A While and on the Way.....

Queensbay Mall [Christmas Blockbuster]

2006-12-25T23:06:00.000+08:00

To compensate for not being able to go to Singapore, I made a trip to Queensbay Mall in Penang and this blog entry is the biggest blog entry so far for this blog. No doubt that it is the biggest shopping mall in Penang, but it lacks of class, cause the interior design in the mall is not really nice. Gurney still looks more special, compared to Queensbay Mall. Moreover, the toilet is really bad. For a mall to be great, I feel that the toilet plays and important role. I didn't managed to take a photo of the toilet though, cause I could not get a good angle.

Anyway, the mall is great in the sense that there are outlets that were never in Penang. The food outlets there are the most attracted things of all. As for clothings, I do not really find it nice, perhaps cause there is no FCUK outlet there. So sad. I'll let the picture do the talking now.
Queensbay MallA view of the Penang Bridge from here. Three gigantic Christmas Tree in the middle of the mall. There was a children colouring contest.
Look at the amount of people in the food court. GAP is opening soon. Jusco is the main departmental stall in Queensbay Mall.
Those are just few of the outlets that I took. There are other outlets that I didn't take a photo of, like Nike, Adidas, Fila, Guess, Top Shop, La Senza and others. Overall, I give Queensbay Mall a 7 out of 10......

Desktop Problem

2006-12-19T18:38:00.000+08:00

Back at home but did not do much work. Have been DotAing only for the past few days. Only did statistics one day and I do not know how am I going for the exam. Anyway my desktop seems to have this blue screen problem. Occasionally sometimes this problem will happen. Guess I will have to send my computer to format. Till then, I will update my blog again.....

Planet Hollywood

2006-12-15T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today is the last day of my semester and I have decided to blog, cause I am free !!! Anyway, I went to Planet Hollywood just now at Bukit Bintang and it was my second time going there with my family. Took some photos and I love the dinner. Had good food, great environment and a wonderful time. Planet Hollywood
The famous Terminator figure. I love Terminator.
Mickey Mouse hand print.
Tom Cruise's Kiss. I guess many girls will love this.
Nicole Kidman's kiss. Too bad Nicole and Tom have seperated.
This was the best part. A band was there for a company's annual dinner. The crowd went crazy.

Overall, I really love Planet Hollywood. I give it a 5 out of 5. One bad thing, have to save quite a lot of money before going there....

Busy Period

2006-12-07T14:20:00.000+08:00

The last two weeks of the semester is always the busiest weeks as this is the time where we have to rush our assignments before having a holiday. Moreover, presentation is tomorrow. Library is the second home at this time of the semester and but that doesn't stop me from using the Internet in the library, especially downloading. The next update of the post will take quite some time, which I guess it would be next week......

Semenyih Night Market

2006-12-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

Semenyih, a place where UNIM students spend most of their time to search for food to eat. Then when Saturday comes, it is a special day for the students as there is a Semenyih Night Market. Here is where people can find food which is ranging from average to good, for a quite a good price. Moreover, lots of DVDs and VCDs can be found here ;). At least it is a nice place to go every Saturday night. Not too boring to be just stuck at home. Funny though, I hardly experience rain during Saturday night when I'm there.....
Scene of the night market.
Ayam Percik. Seems nice, but I haven't tried it yet.
Keropok leko. Really nice. Miss these in secondary school.
All the fried stuff with sticks poking through them. Picture quite blur.
Nasi Lemak. Famous Malay dish.
Now, we eat after buying all the food. Me taking the photo.

Aero MSN

2006-12-02T08:50:00.000+08:00

Try out this new MSN look. It is only compatible by using MSN messenger 7.5. Download the file over here http://www.msgstuff.com/downloads/file/43/. To get a preview of the software, you can check it out here by devianart.

It's just a new skin for MSN 7.5. The outlook is just a little average, perhaps my graphic card is not good enough to have the aero effect. Anyway, just try it out.

Cicak-Man/Lizard-Man

2006-11-30T18:03:00.000+08:00

The picture says it all. It is a Malaysian superhero action-comedy. For those who do not understand what Cicak means in Malay, it means Lizard. This will be very hilarious. I wonder how will he fight his enemies. Maybe cutting away his artificial tail, or maybe showing out his tongue to scare away people. I am totally clueless, but I guess it would not hurt to see the first Malaysian superhero movie. Perhaps it will turn out to be a blast. I wonder what will the town be called......

Need for Speed Carbon (NFS Carbon)

2006-11-28T20:57:00.000+08:00

Finally, managed to finish the new Need for Speed Carbon. It's kinda nice, despite the short story line. The storyline seems short to me, and the amount of cars on the road also seems lesser than the previous Need for Speed. A lot of work lately, that is why my updates will come late and also might not have much thing to blog about.

I have an assignment to be due on 13 of December, dealing with HTML. HTML looks kinda fun to me, as I am really interested in web designing and also to change the outlook of this blog. But, until now, the procrastination of me makes the template changing thing to be delayed.....

Tesco #4 - Tesco Bins

2006-11-26T20:45:00.000+08:00

This is not a Tesco product, but a Tesco amenity, for shoppers to get rid of their unwanted things/trash. Perhaps having a Tesco sign on the trash bin makes it easier to be identified, when someone is crazy enough to steal it......

Nikon D70S

2006-11-23T16:32:00.000+08:00

I took this photo with Sean's high tech camera, which is Nikon D70S. It is a really cool camera. Photos you take look really real, as every detail can almost been seen. How I wish I can get his camera, but the problem is, it is bulky to hold, as it is really big. Sean, give me your camera, when you don't want to use it anymore. Hehe......

Auction Day

2006-11-21T22:50:00.001+08:00

The place I'm studying had an auction day today. The event was organizing by Wall Street Journal Society, but the event was not about bidding for used things or rare things. The event was bidding for girls or guys. Yup, that's right. People are auctioning themselves for a free dinner with the one who bid them and they claimed that the money is going to "Charity". There were total of 16 people who auctioned themselves and there were loads of people going for the event. I would say around 90 percent of the people there are just watching. Not everyone got a date and the highest bid was RM 200, although the minimum bid was Rm 20. I did not managed to snap all the contestants as it was really packed, and my camera phone has some problems. So, I hope that the photos might help.....People were coming to see the event.
It was so packed before when the event was going to start.
This is Chintan, our Student Association's Society Officer. Someone bid him for RM 10 and he was sold.
No idea what's her name and don't know how much someone bid her.
No idea what's her name and don't know how much someone bid her too.
No idea what's her name and don't know how much someone bid her 'three'. But I know that she is the Wall Street Journal Society's Vice President.
This guys is one of the 2 guys who offered RM 200 for a girl. How crazy is that? I can buy a pendrive with that price.

Trip to Hilton KL Again

2006-11-18T21:59:00.000+08:00

I went to Hilton KL again, cause could not find a nice place to go for free around KL (sounds weird isn't it). Hilton KL is so nice that I went up to the 8th floor and saw a really nice swimming pool area. I didn't take many photos of what I seen, as there were Hilton employees around. I scare they say that it is not allowed to take photos. Anyway, it is kinda cool to go there and have a look. For those who need idea to build your house, you can go there and "borrow" some of their concept....This door is really cool. It is an automatic door.
This cave lookalike is actually a link to the Le Meriden Hotel. Both hotels share the pool area.
This is the view from Hilton swimming pool area.

Beach Cafe

2006-11-16T21:58:00.000+08:00

My friends and I decided to try a new place out, which is called ~~Bitch~~ Beach Cafe. My friend had high expectation that the waitress there would be wearing bikini. Unfortunately, they were bikiniless, but not nude. Who would wear bikini to serve customers in a small town in Malaysia.

The environment would be nice, if it is not raining. They had a big screen, good music system, beautiful lights, but just average food. This is not my kind of place though, but we had a good time. Not many photos and no drinking occur....~~Bitch~~ Beach Cafe
The environment of the cafe.
Just an average butter chicken chop. I guess Sean should be able to cook better.

Cultural Night of UNIM

2006-11-15T23:21:00.000+08:00

There was a cultural night just now. It was actually a mixed celebration of the most famous Deeparaya. This year is the last time that Deeparaya occurring in Malaysia, until many years to come. I did not attend the event, as I am doing my work as usual. Just heard a lot of music, people singing, people laughing and cheering. Seemed like a very successful night for the organiser to me. After the event, I decided just to go out and have a look (weird, after the event?) and take some photos. Guess it was fun for those who attend, as there are smiles everywhere....Candles were arranged on the stairs going up to the 1st floor, to show a feeling of Deepavali.
Group photo of people celebrating the event (partially).The Indian painting that usually done with rice (I think).

Sunday Market

2006-11-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

This morning we decided to go to the wet market in our town for the first time, before going to Tesco. I have not been to a wet market for around a year plus. There were many people at the market as usual, as it was Sunday too. So what to do there? There's where the K750i comes in handy. Photos are taken, but not many. It was a great market trip....Chicken stall. You can see a chicken's neck which had been chopped and left hanging to it's body.
Fish stall. Many people buying seafood. Squid was being sold for RM 13 for 1KG.
Green vegetables, my favourite.
Taufu, fish balls, meat balls stall.
And there's stalls selling clothes as usual. Honestly, the clothes are actually not bad.
Finally, there are always stalls selling food. Anyone can multi task while eating and marketing.

Black Dog - Good for Health

2006-11-10T16:54:00.000+08:00

Guinness Stout, or also known as Black Dog among the Chinese (direct Translation), seems to be good for health. That's what it stated on this cup of in Mandarin.

Anyway, what I was drinking was not Guinness, it was Barley. Now that's good for health......

The Miraculous Slimming Pill

2006-11-08T11:40:00.000+08:00

When it comes to promoting slimming pill, the advertisements are always exaggerating. This is to attract people from all ages, but attracting does not mean that they are interested. Like me, when I see it, it was damn funny. If you know how to read Malay, then it's funny. I'll do some translation here. The fat guy was 180kg at first, and he managed to slim down to 83kg in 6 months. That's a lot. I can't really tell whether the skinny guy is really from the fat guy. But, the funniest thing is the skinny guy seems to be a finalist of handsome man (Finalis Raja Segak - Malay)......

Oil Prices Humour

2006-11-06T16:58:00.000+08:00

My friend found this 2 videos on oil prices. The second video is very hilarous. This shows how arguments on oil prices can be determined so easily.

Steamboat is in The House

2006-11-04T23:00:00.000+08:00

This was our first steamboat in our new home. We decided to have a tomyam steamboat in our new house. Qian Hui, our friend brought the steamboat wok, the red one. We just have our simple steamboat with the usual steamboat dishes. Too bad, I was not in any of the photos, as I was the camera man. It was nice....Tomyam soup boiling in the kitchen.
All the dishes and the steamboat wok.
The dishes are now in the steamboat wok, waiting for them to be cooked.
It's eating time.

Tesco #3 - Battle of the Cokes

2006-11-02T22:11:00.000+08:00

Went to tesco again as usual. Looking for things to blog again as usual, and finally we have saw a fight between 2 Cokes. It was awesome I tell you, both with their own strength and weaknesses, battling out each other.

As you can see, the original Coke has Wayne Rooney (A Manchester United football player), as their representative on the can of the Coke, while the Tesco Coke has itself only to battle the enemy.

This shows that if one drinks the original Coke, one could be Wayne Rooney in the future or it tells that Wayne Rooney drinks Coke too. While if you take Tesco Coke, you get nothing, except with more change in your pocket.

It was really funny to see a Tesco Coke....

Original Coke cost RM 1.05 a can.
While, Tesco Coke cost only RM 0.57 a can.

Happy Halloween 2006

2006-10-31T11:25:00.000+08:00

Nothing much happening during Halloween over here. There is some Halloween party going on tonight. I will like to see people wearing the costume from the movie Scary Movie. I really love that character in the movie. It's really funny. Just few photos below on the decoration of the event which is going to be held tonight. Happy Halloween.....

Small Town Basketball

2006-10-29T18:00:00.000+08:00

There's nothing more entertaining for me after dinner, which is a basketball match. As you can see the team which is not in orange, is the main group training there. The photos are taking while they are playing in a match. After a while, their jerseys have arrived. The decided to change into red now. Their coach is the one on the right, the one in white shirt.
Their tactis were really good. One of my dream is also to be a basketball coach, but that is high unlikely to happen....
