Sungai Long/Long River (English)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?]

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

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

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]

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......
