CNY

~HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR~

This year CNY is more or less like last year's. Except that it's notably more quiet as the excitement just wasn't felt permeated in the air.


There's lesser fireworks compared to last year,


There's even lesser lion dance troop to be seen around,


and,

there's also notably lesser 'red' decorative stuffs hung everywhere.



Today i went visiting with my friends, and of course, being the typical Chinese, we must gamble. Usually just cards but occasionally mahjong as well. Not that we gamble on mahjong of course because most of us can't play a decent mahjong game to save our lives. Except selected few which are experts that always have to teach newbies almost every time the mahjong set was brought out.


This is because there's always a student or two that wanted to learn. Every time.

Without fail.


Except me.

Because i just don't think i'll know how to play even if our sifu are darn patient with a noob like me or talk til their mouth forms white bubbles. Trust me, i just can't comprehend it.



One thing that makes this CNY different from last year's is due to my FYP.

My FYP deadline just have to be right after CNY, which makes i just have to WORK during CNY! Like, during CNY everyone were just so happy and i worrying about my FYP deadlines.


This is terrible man!


Worrying about FYP deadlines and wondering if my marks will be deducted if i hand in late which i know i will because i just can't finish everything in a matter of days! I mean, come on, my interview is on friday, and i'm supposed analyze every info AND discuss about the findings?

You think i'm a freak meh?


I have life too you know? My life does not solely revolve around FYP okay?


Oh man, i'm so doomed now.


My life is so not okay.


Yeah, HAPPY chinese new year.



can i be selfish and not think about fyp? can i enjoy my CNY to the fullest? can i?

Those were the days...

TODAY IS CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE!!!!

Today i woke up pretty early to wash my baby car...and darn i just realized that my baby car have quite a few war marks on its body...and my baby car is really not THAT old...Ouch! I guess a beauty treatment for my car soon is in order.


After that, i went to the market to run an errand for my mom. Guess what? i accidentally bumped into someone that i never expected to meet!


My itchy hand checking out some DVD's and suddenly the DVD peddler throw this question to me in chinese, "you were prefect right?"



I looked up, find that i can't recognise his face and asked him if he were from my secondary school i was a prefect in my secondary school days and i guess a pretty nasty one too


He said i used to caught him and his friends (i still don't know who are they) all the time. He asked if i recognize him?


Well to which i just shake my head because i really can't! I'm really bad at faces, you know... In fact, i don't even know which year he was from as he sidestepped the question by simply saying he was not the studious type.



Suddenly i had the urged to laugh out loud. Well, not to his face lar of course! Somehow, it makes me feel funny how i, a mere little me had made an impact in a person's life! AND how they still remembers me until now, which is like at least 5-6 years after.


I'll admit that i was a nasty prefect back then, one that most students hate. But then, should i regret what i did before? I don't think so. I did what i was supposed to do. Full stop.


And when this guy recognizes me, i can't help but wonder, to what extend does my existence carve an impact in his life? Because it seems that i have make an impact in his life, but my can't recall his face/name just seems to tell me that he did not make any strong impact in mine.



Now that i think of it, was he still angry with what i did (whatever that is) unto him before? Is revenge that makes him remembers me? I don't know. I guess i won't be able to find out about it.


I really don't think he will revenge on me or anything like that. Somehow, back then, i was so assured that no matter what action i took on those naughty students in my school, they would not revenge on me. I don't know why, but i just do. SOMEHOW. I knew that those students may be naughty will many disciplinary problems, but they are still humane.



I KNOW that because i have survived 5 years in that school, unscratched. And mind you, my secondary school was nowhere near any top schools in town. My school was easily one of the worst school in town history every year.




AaaaahhhH, what a memory...... *.*

All's well end's well

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and i believe majority of you are now happily back at your hometown (if any) and enjoying the holidays while waiting for ang pows Chinese New Year...


On thursday night, Snoopy and I went to watch this chinese comedy, "All's Well End's Well" (Ga Yao Hei Xi). Somehow, it was shown blardy late at night nationwide (10 minutes to midnite)

Official poster: All's well end's well

This show was practically a remake from the previous movie with the same title starring Stephen Chow. Probably the writers run out of new ideas for CNY movies-.-"

old version

The whole story basically revolves around an older sister (Sandra Ng) who is a spinster. Apparently there's a sacred rule that says "elder must marry first or else younger can't marry". Due to the fact that the older sister is "a piece of art" herself that's why she is a spinster duh! her younger brother (Ronald Cheng) hired a Dr. Love (Louis Koo) to help her sister so that he can get married himself eventually lar duh!



As Sandra Ng falls for Louis Koo (duh, like what else is new?), Louis Koo found the love of his life!
HOW NOW?????



This is where the twist and turn comes in and prepare yourself for a hearty laugh session.

look at all this wacky faces, how can you not laugh?

All in all, this is a joyful relaxing slapstick comedy meant to cheer you up. It doesn't requires any intellectual thinking so you can give your brain a much needed rest.


If you are familiar with Sandra Ng (Ng Kwan Yu) then you will have some idea how her character in the movie will be like. Depends to your liking, some might find it funny, some might find it gross, disgusting whatever.



I'll rate it 6/10 because it really cracked me up and i quite enjoy it. But then, i think the story line is really quite simple and mediocre. Nothing much to shout of.... apart from the fact that it's funny.


Well, at least this movie will make you laugh. And laughter is the best medicine, no?

arghhhhh!!!

I feel so down now. So emo.



I don't think i can finish my fyp in time.

I don't think i can hand it in to my supervisor at the intended date.

I don't think i can conduct my interview in time.

I don't think my supervisor appreciate late work.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!

I think everything is going haywire!!!


Thanks for my own stupidity and procrastinating bone, i am now in deep shit!


Sigh, i wished i am not drown in all these works...its so frustrating!!!



this is oh-so-melancholic man! *frust!*



emo~

MY birthday

Oklar since tomorrow i don't have any class then i guess i'll update some long overdue photos la.

It's my birthday celebration photos. Just a small gathering at here and there...


Yeah i know i should have posted up earlier but then i have yet to get the complete photos. I STILL don't. *cough photo facilitator Lewin cough cough* Here's just some of my own collection.


More of the photos will be upload in my FB....soon. You may check it out there...one of these day.


Enjoy~

my birthday cake

@ Starbucks

Poor my dear, always kena " cream facial". Kononnya can make the skin smoother hahahahaha. No, seriously, he was just unfortunate to be my scapegoat from all those pranks.

Leroy was especially fond of the "goatee"

my another cake, with family

The next day, we went to Taipan USJ for dinner. Went to Naili's (click) because of the ambiance. Naili's was also fondly known as "mamak on the tree". Would preferred to go to their main branch at Sentul, because then we really would have "sit on tree" instead of a tiny pondok. But then, Sentul IS a bit too far. . . . .

Why NKL seems abit emo? -.-"




group pix

After dinner, we went to Pyramid for a drink at Wong Kok. It wasn't an exceptionally pleasant experience because of the bar/bistro besides it that blast the music so bloody loud that i fear my eardrums would explode!

CNY decor @ pyramid

No photos at Wong Kok with me though and the giant milk tea drink because again, i have yet to receive the photos. Down!

New SEM

Today is my second day of school. Supposedly.


I ended up in Sg. Wang shopping instead. Down!



Well, you see, i didn't intentionally skipped the lecture today because i would very much want to attend the oh-so-important-lecture-that-are-coming-
out-in-the-final-exam. Yeah i have had such a good luck. Now i'm doomed...


This is kinda like deja vu because i finally see that almost every start of the sem, i will somehow mess up one or more of my timetable. SO, this is not the first time it happened to me. In fact, i can't really pinpoint how many times it happened already.


I have no idea WHY it keeps happening nor do i have the chance to see if it will stop because this is already my last sem.


Today i woke up at 9:30am thinking my class starts at 11:00am and i have ample of time but instead, my class ACTUALLY starts at 10:00am -.-" Obviously i can't make it lor even if i speed all the way i will still be late. Of course, i chose not to go lor. Why put my life in jeopardy right?


So now i guess i will just have to copy the notes from my friends and pray to God that i will not flunk this paper by not attending the oh-so-important-lecture. Sigh...




On a brighter note, today's shopping was a success as i have finally emptied my wallet. Now i'm as broke as a pauper and i don't know how to make ends meet. But my CNY purchase is still incomplete!!! When is my 'banker' coming??? *wailed*

Malacca Trip

I'm pretty bored now though there are still tons of drama series, movies and anime untouched yet i need a break.


So i guessed i'll just post up some photos taken when i was in Malacca recently. Helps kill my time, and yours too.

on the way to Malacca, all passengers are really excited

Proofs that we were indeed BEEN to Malacca





The ever famous Stadhuys clock tower...

Once we reached, we immediately headed to this shop...




and eat these delicious fishballs chicken rice balls






And of course, we won't missed out Jonker Street



Not to mentioned the infamous cendol there, durian cendol & mango cendol

Everyone queuing up in front of Jonker Dessert for a taste of cendol

Walk around at St Paul's Hill

Floating Win

Already in Malacca, how can we leave without eating satay celup right?

This honey lime drink, a treasure that are only available in Malacca is a must!

And everyone left with a full tummy and happy memories of Malacca trip.

-CheeRs-

New year

How do i welcome the new year?

How do i celebrate on the eve of new year?


Well, we were supposed to usher the new year with this,






But instead, we play card games at home,





and drank milk. With lots of fruits.





Talk about being healthy haha~

Unconventional New Year

As i have said, i was really busy this couple of weeks. Especially the year end and the start of the new year. To prove it, I'll share with you guys something unbelievable.


I was so busy, that i don't even have time to hunt for my birthday present. That gift, was actually hid inside my room for at least FIVE days before my Big-Day arrived. My birthday present, was literally hanging below my nose and yet, i don't have the time to look for it...


It wasn't until Snoopy called at 12am sharp to wished me happy birthday that I actually remembered, "Oh yeah, it's my birthday already" -.-"


See how busy i was? -.-"


But then, i guessed Snoopy can't really hide anything from me because i found it even before he told me the exact location where he hid it. Trust me, I did not search for it before. It's just a hunch which turns out to be right *yippie*

Thanks dear for the gift

On a non related matter, The start of new year 2009 is not exactly smooth. Today morning (5/1/2009), at 2AM, (we weren't asleep yet) we were jolted when our ground shook a little and the windows rattled followed by a "BOOM" sound.


"What the-?"


My bro and I wanted to go out and investigated but mom says it's probably nothing so we went back to our room. It wasn't 15 minutes later our neighbour came and told us that there's a fire.


We was like, "FIRE???" (shrieking)


We rushed out to see and true enough, we saw red amber of fire and black and white smokes billowing out. Kinda like aurora light except with the interjection of "Boom" sounds every now and then.

Red amber we saw over the high roof

Whenever it explodes again, the amber shoot higher, and more smokes coming out

We rushed back in the house, packed all the important documents and some stuff, dump it in our cars and drove our cars out to park further, just like all of our neighbours. Did it all while i'm in my pajamas-.-"



Later, we found out that it's a junk car yards that caught on fire (i don't know why yet, let's read the newspaper shall we? IF it come out in newspaper la) Those letupan sound we heard were probably from those junk cars' oil tank.



The fire was far, but not too far away as the junk car yard was kinda like adjacent to my neighbour's factory. We were all quite worried because if my neighbour's factory caught on the fire too then the rest of us is in grave danger. It took the Bomba at least 4-6hours to completely put off the fire i think.

The fire, from afar

closer view

But luckily, by 6AM, everyone was relieved that the fire was under control (not completely put out yet) that we can drive our cars back to our house and sleep. Thank goodness nothing untoward happened.


This is one crazy night that i do not wish to experience again. Ever. Fire scare is really scary, as fire can engulf everything and leave ashes for memories. When i was packing, i felt like i wanted to take everything with me. Everything is important, but no, i can't take it all.


Well, i guess i can't travel light, eh?
