Tao

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

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

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

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

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

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

Regionals Penang 2007

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

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

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

Finished My Puzzle

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

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

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

A Busy Week

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

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

Miss Universe 2007

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

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

Mini Austion and Mini Cooper

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

Anyways, I love Minis.....

Door - The Most Suspenseful Thing

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

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

Tesco #7 - Pop Up Words

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

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

After Exams - Planet Hollywood

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

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

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

Exam Period

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