Apply Visa? Troublesome -.-

As usual before you go to other country you need to apply Visa. For me, I applying Visa to Australia to further my studies as an civil engineer :)

Applying Visa for higher education involve many stages, 1st you must get the Offer letter from the University you applied, easy step right? Noooo!!! You need to wait like freaking long to get, I wait like freaking 4 months wei!! Haiz during the time that you are waiting for your Offer letter you will feel like Hell, the reason? You dunno yourself get accept by the University or not and when your friends ask you where you going to futher you studies. We sure said the University that we are applying but if the University turn out not accepting you, I guess you also know the feeling yourself :) Still got a lot of things to think about during this period like Fees, Accomodation, whether you can adept to living there and much more.

After getting Offer letter you need to mail the correct amount of deposit and insurances to the University that accepted you. When they receive that payment they you mail you a Letter of Comfirmation. Letter of Comfirmation if a letter that comfirm you are coming to Australia to study and you can now apply a student (temporary) Visa :)

After filling in some blanks, you are charge for the Visa about AUD$450. Expensive right? After that you need to print out 2 medical form and go to the nearest panel doctor to comfirm you dun have are deathly virus or disease. Panel Doctor is doctor that comfirm by Australia Imigration Office that will not write fake report like you have 3 hands or whatever.

Ok then I bring my Medical report to a panel doctor. After waiting for like 15 minutes and done some stupid test like: "Read out this number." (The number test is to test whether you are color blind or are you a total retard.). By today I just know I am just 172cm =.= So so short. Haiz even my little brother is much bigger than me already :-( Back to main topic, So the doctor even ask me to take a Urine test, the purpose I am not sure. Finally the doctor test my eye sight, and she have a shock after knowing that my left eye is Lazy Eye that can hardly see the 1st lane of alphabet, doc told me go get a letter of Eye Specialist and X-ray from a Radiologist. Haiz troublesome!!!!

Early in the morning, I go to see the Radiologist and take X-ray of my chest see got any broken bone or any worm inside :) After I registered and wait for like 1 hour while watching movie : "Number 23" that staring Jim Carrey. Oh, I forget the meantion that the hospital is very very Cold plus outside also raining. When I entered the X-ray room, I was ask to take off my cloth and OMG that was cold like hell. After positioning me infront of the X-ray machine, a flash was seen and that was it :) Billion and Trillion of cells dead. After I wear my cloth and walk outside of the room, the nurse suddenly come running to me and ask me to take another picture of my chest. I was shock and ask her why? Izzit I got 30 ribs or 3 hearts or whatever, she answer me that the picture taken was not PREETY and need to take another 1. Guess what? I took a total of 3 X-ray to my chest today and I feel sorry for my body cells. Oh ya, I still need to wait for the doctor to write my report and pay for the bills and this whole process take around 2 and a half hours.

X-Ray Machine

Then off I go to find the Eye Specialist. Took around 30 minutes to find the stupid eye clinic. When I enter I saw like 15 Malays inside :( this could take forever and the worker there ask me to go back. "Har? Go Back?" I told them I just need a regular checkup and after 10 minutes of discussing the problem the eye specialist agreed to check on me but after all the surgery is done. Another 1 hours of waiting and guess what? All the Malays are gone :) This is because just a total of 3 surgery is going to be perform today and the clinic plans to close early. Just my luck maybe, when I saw the eye specialist, he quickly notice that my left eye is useless and told me this problem is not fix-able and I was ask to check whether my eye got "Holes" inside that may cause blindness. So he use some yellow liquid and put inside my eye. During that 30 minutes of waiting the medicine to take effect, my eye vision is blurly and I cannot even read the words in near distance. The worse part is yet to come. I was thinking that maybe he use some thingy and poke into my eye to check whether got "Holes" or not, but I come to a relieve because the whole process just involve a helmet and a magnify glass. I was wrong, this process really Sucks, the eye specialist use the magnify glass to aim at my eye balls and use a steam of light to check wheter inside got "Holes" or not. And if I am not mistaken I say out "Oh my God" about 3 times, because the light shoot inside eye balls is not a nice feeling. The whole process take just 2 minutes but the effect of the medicine take around 4 hours and even until now already 8 hours I still hurts a bit when I see direct light :(

After that I need to bring the report from Eye Specialist and X-ray from Radiologist back to the Panel Doctor that will help me mail to Australia :)

Conclusion: TROUBLESOME.

Nice Song? :)

My Camera o.0

Previously I used this handphone to take all my picture :)

But now:


Yup another Sony Brand for Ethan :) I like Sony product. Hiak hiak, not like my sister that buy Samsung every time =.= 

This is Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77. Cool right? T77. The things about this camera that drive me crazy is the touch screen. Woot hopefully the screen wont spoilt so fast. 

This camera also small in size :) 95 x 59 x 16 mm. Ultra Compact yeah baby, but despite the small size, it capable to capture picture with 10.1 Mega Pixel. Now I am able to take more clearer picture already :) Hooray

Foodgelicious - III

Yet again another version of Foodgelicious. Topic today is the food that I had in K.L. Let look on today's menu. Oxtail soup, Escargot, Steak, Ice cream and Meat Balls. Yummy, Let have a look shall we?

1. Oxtail Soup a.k.a appetizer soup.

Oxtail soup? What the hell is that?
The thingy on my spoon is the tail of Ox that have been cooked :)
Despite the weird origin of the soup (from a tail of an Ox), the soup taste good and served as a good appetizer just what you need before dig in the main dish.
Taste are more heavy than normal Cow/Beef Soup but the meat on the tail part are just perfect :)
Dun worry about they cutting of Ox just because of the tail.

Foodgelicious meter show a rating of 7/10
***Note: Not for all culture!!***

2. Escargot a.k.a little snail served with a tons of garlic.

Oh My GoD, Another weird dish!! Snail!!! freaking Snail???
Yeah. Snail on a plate :) actually they are not called snail, Escargot is their NAME.
I love this dish a lot because of the bizare taste and maybe cause it is snail?
You can find this type of dish at those western restaurant.
How do you eat it? You can eat it by simply bite and chew the whole thing including the shell plate and spoon or by using a holding thingy that holds those escargot in place and you use a fork to poke or pull out the escargot meat inside their shell.
1 more thing: "It does not taste like chicken."

Foodgelicious Meter: 7.5/10
Makes you want for more but you will know when to stop because it is freaking expensive :)

3. Chilled Spare-Rib a.k.a Bloody Steak.

You see this piece of meat red red like this is NOT blood pouring out because it is too raw.
This piece of meat is cut from cow ribs, and served with 50% cooked and chili sauce on top of the steak.
How to know it is 50% cooked? The meat is soft when you cut them and you will saw 2 type of color inside the meat, brown surrounding red color.
On the top corner we have Corn, Potato, Beans, and some Broccoli. I ate everything except the Potato, because I just dun like it.

Foodgelicious Meter: 7/10
***Note: Please dun eat the whole rib under the piece of steak, IT IS NOT EATABLE (unless you are a dog)***

4. Haagen-Dazs Ice cream a.k.a 3 little balls of ice cream on a waffer.

Ice cream? What a big deal about ice cream and some honey and a piece of waffer?
Hoho my friends this just not everyday ice cream but Haagen Dazs Ice cream.
You can choose from a variety of flavors and topping and sidedish like waffer or brownie.
Oh ya forget to meantion, it is freaking F*cking Expensive!!!!!!!!! Rm13 over for a single scoop.
Argh...
For me I think that Ice cream from a Company Called McDonald also tasted better than this and more worth it >:D


Foodgelicious Meter: 4.5/10
Not as good as they said it.

5. Ikea meatballs a.k.a "HEALTHY" meal?

Oh yeshh~ From the looks of this picture we can see meatballs, fries, and also some strawberry jam.
Those be fooled by the appearance of this dish, it tasted heavenly if you are a beef lover.

Fries taste so so only.

To maximise the flavor, ones must dip the meatballs into the strawberry jam before chew them down. Until now I also cannot explain why they think of these meatballs match perfectly with strawberry jam. If you know please share with me your thought :)

Foodgelicious Meter: 8.5/10

***Beef Beef as in COW meat, so some of you might be sad now because you guys are missing out all the nice food!!!Just kidding, culture faith more important***

KL trip

Hoho~ Hello everyone...I'm back from KL. Some of you may even wonder that when I went to KL, got some of my stupid friends even call me to go to snooker when I was busy shopping. Anyway this KL trip is all about FOOD and SHOPPinG. Haha... Only my Mother, Brother, Cousin 4 person go to KL, others didn't follow cause Exam and stuffs.

I Sit AirAsia to KL, and return to KB with FireFly. Two not same type of plane and company, but they both have 1 common ADVANTAGE: Delay. Oh yeah, AirAsia delayed for 45 minutes and I already upset about that but never mind because can sit at KFC in the terminal. But for Firefly I suffer a delay of nearly 2 hours, and the best thing is the terminal is still under renovation and have nothing to drink or eat, just sit there let mosquito suck on you.

Food:

Yeah, some of the most awesome food can be found in KL. I had my dinner/lunch/tea-time at Victoria Station, Nando's, Kim Gary, 任吃 (yam sek), Haägen-Dazs, Ikea food court.

任吃 (yam sek) is a seafood-steamboat-buffet-3 stories-aircon-restaurant. The honey roasted chicken wing from 任吃 (yam sek) tasted marvelous :) and you need to fight for it because they are limited and served every 15 minutes.

Beside 任吃 (yam sek), Victoria Station steak are just the correct flavor i need after 3/4 months staying in my hometown.

Haägen-Dazs ice cream does not taste as good as I imagine, but the price are expensive like hell. 1 scoop of ice cream cost around RM13. Althought 1 little scoop cost so much, still a lot of customers buy Haägen-Dazs ice cream. Why? "This question I also cannot answer you my friend, you must seak the answer deep within yourself".

Kim Gary's Mee maggi are quite Ok but when you know that you can buy those instant noodle at the nearest supermarket at a low low low price, you will order cheese baked rice instead of instant noodle :)

Ikea is a shopping complex that everyone knows, the food court are always crowded and the Swedish meat balls there taste F*cKinG Nice.

Finally, Nando's? 1 thing is sure for my own opinion, Nando's beats Kenny Roger like A LOT, because of the multi flavor choice that suit all type of customers.

Shopping:

I went to 1Utama, Midvalley, & The Curve. "I came, I saw, I BUY" = I go to shopping complex and saw discounted shirt and I buy them >:D .

Midvalley having CK (Calvin Klein) warehouse sales, around 70% discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are like leopard acting fast and park like a tank on a steady place saying "This is my territory until I get my size" and didn't even move when you push them, LOL 70% discount in CK means like those shirt didn't cost a penny because I saw a lot of people buy Damn a lot of shirts and I mean A LOT!!

The Curve also didn't lose to Midvalley cause there also have PADINI warehouse sales. But sadly I didn't get a chance to participate in both shopping frenzy because my mom dun like crowded area.

Food + Shopping:

Eat eat eat and Shop shop shop eventually there is also Diet diet save save. Haiz, now I need to keep fit and save money for 1 more up coming trip at 24 Nov. I am going down to Melaka and JB to find my college friends and I believe this will eventually leads to Eat eat eat and Shop shop shop again. Lets hope that I manage to control myself before going to Australia or else no people accompany me there already :)

Foodgelicious (Part 2)

Yes, once again another topic of Foodgelicious!! Once again lets invite our judges. Let hear a clap for Mr. Ethan. He will be typing out Foodgelicious score on the Foodgelicious Meter. 

***Disclamir: All this crap about Foodgelicious meter is all made-up for fun :)*** 

1. Chang Mai Restaurant Food a.k.a OMG so FAST??

Oh yeah. A Thai restaurant that located not so far from my house (around 15 minutes driving) that cook out a lot of delicious food. Lets see what we have on the table. There you have "Squid steam with lime", "Coconut Milk Prawn", "Keng Som Fish", "Mix vegetables", "Pork Leg" & "Kam Heong Lala". The best part is that all these food are served after 10 minutes we ordered. At peak period (Thursday/Friday night) this restaurant will be fulled with customer and believe me when I said the food is served Fucking Fast. So if you have a hungry stomach that can withstand Spicy Thai Food, can come to "Chang Mai Restaurant" and try it out yourself. By the way, you can also enjoy weird food like "Volcano Chicken", "Fried BEE", "Pak Prik Eals", "Fried worm thingy", and lots more.

Foodgelicious Meter: 9/10

Good Side: Nice food. Fast services. Lots more.

Down Side: For visiter to travel themself into this area is hard cause the road was kinda scary like you might not believe there is restaurants inside. (around 3 thai restaurant in that area)

2. Kao Jam a.k.a Green Rice

Also a type of Thai Food, sorry about the mistake on earlier post said that this is originated by Malays. (Thanks to Qian on pointing me out). This type of food is easily made by mixing Fish bits, Veges, Onion, Chili, Budu, and also some fried coconut's powder into your green rice. And there you will have it "Kao Jam". Oh to make the green rice, we usually add in green juices (that comes in bottle that are juices pressed from some leaves that I dun have any idea what it called) instead of plain water in the cooking rice process. To enhanced the taste of this dish, you can eat with fried fish crackers.

Foodgelicious Meter: 9/10

Nothing much to add on caused I already write a whole post about this Kao Jam sometime in October.

3. Indian Rice a.k.a Meena Curry 

Yeah, Indian rice. This whole set of indian rice taste nice :) I just ate it yesterday night with my friends. Simple right? Rice + curry and some bean sprouts (taugeh) and some chicken. But now the economy is bad and this simple indian curry rice are expensive :(  

Foodgelicious Meter: 5.5/10

It in the okok zone. But I wonder will I ever have a Freaking Delicious Indian Rice? Cause I look spicy food and this type of food just suit me well.

4. Budu a.k.a Rotten Fish Juices

Every one at Kelantan also know what is "Budu". Mostly likes it, but some dislikes them for their dirty apearances. This is because Budu are made by ferment fish and salt. For more information about this wonderful juices, you can refer to Wikipedia. Just type in "Budu" and there you have it, a well explain definition of this juices. Back to main point, Budu can be enjoyed in various ways like the picture on top, or you can take Durian and eat it with rice plus budu. The taste is unexplainable, you should try it out yourself or you come my hometown I treat you this tasty dish.

Foodgelicious Meter: 8.5/10

Should try it! Dun be afraid of the rotten fish smell (nah dun have any smell) but you better dun watch the process making this juices or I scare you won't have the guts to try it anymore :)

Not So Busy Day

Today in office was kinda boring o.O You see this is normally what my desk look like when I got something to do. 

But today was like...
LoL... So during this free time I can write my blog :) Its been 3 days since my last updated. Oh ya, I forget to mention that I am going to Kuala Lumpur on this coming Thursday and will be back on Sunday :) I heard from my cousin that KL having many sales around this period but I not sure is it believe-able, but hopefully that I can find some nice trousers or hot formal at low rates. 

By the way, Lets enjoy some more picture cause I am too damn free.

Foodgelicious

In today's topic: "Foodgelicious", I gonna introduce about some food that taste good or bad. In Ethanpedia, Foodgelicious means: "Food that are 2F :"Freaking Fu*king" delicious that are eatable and seldom see at your every day life". Lets have a look at some picture below and try to decide whether it is Foodgelicious or not.

1. Sweet Sour Crab a.k.a Icky Yucky Disgusting Pukey Crab Dish

As you can see this Brown Icky Yucky Disgusting Pukey dish is definitely not categorize in Food Paradise. Actually this dish taste quite nice :) Last few night, my family bring me to this old thai style restaurant and called this so called "Sweet Sour Crab". The Pukey substants is a result of Egg + Tomato. My family member all loved this food except me. Maybe is because of the pukey look, I didn't complain much and take a picture of this Wonderful Dish.

Ethan give this dish a score of 2/10 in Foodgelicious meter due to NICE appearances, small size crab and also blue color plate. (The blue color plus this brown color is sure awful)

2. Korean style steamboat a.k.a Free of Pork steamboat

This dish origin from Korea. It just a pot of plain water that you throw in everything to create this "One Pot of Wonder". Yes, a plain water steamboat. First you just need a pot that is not dirty and then you pour drinkable water into it and watch it boil. When the water is boil, use your finger to test whether it is at near 100 Celsius and after 1 minutes and your finger have no more feeling means the water is boil :) Then just throw in everything that you like to eat inside the Hot Pot. Er, if I am not mistaken we put in the red thingy that said to be good for eye sight (I dun have any idea what it called), Korean sea weed thingy, squid, all type of mushroom, pieces of evenly cut fish meat, Clam, Oyster and Veges. At first the soup taste like plain water, but at the second round, the soup taste very sweat, I think is because the juices/taste of the fish, clam, veges all mix inside the soup. Most important is this steamboat is non-oily, so it is good for those student that studies oversea and lazy to cook, now you got a new dish. Just throw everything inside a pot of plain water and there you have it, dinner for 5 days :)

Ethan give this dish a score of 8.5/10 in Foodgelicious meter because the first round just plain sucks, but it is easy to make and economical :)

3. Sushi a.k.a Homemade whatever you likey Sushi Roll

Hunger for Japanese Food? Why not try Ethan's Homemade Sushi Roll. It include everything you dream of having except abalone and sharkfin. Oh yeah, ever dream of you can wrap anything sushi roll? Believe me when I said you can wrap anything cause the wrapping is so big. My family used a piece of "Zi Cai" (dried seaweed) size 8" x 8" (eight times eight inches in size) to wrap up the stuffing. On the table, we have fried prawn (Tempura), fried squid ring, fried fish that already been slices into even pieces, veges, japanese rice that already plus some seasoning, tuna, raw salmon fish, little red egg, crab stick, cucumber, baby corn(small un-matured corn), small little octopus, and last but not least Wasabi. Ethan just like to put everything inside plus a tons of wasabi for the great feeling of sushi :) Ha ha

Ok, for this Dish Ethan give a score of 7/10 in Foodgelicious meter because it is expensive to make this stupid sushi roll and troublesome, why don't we just go to Sushi King and eat. But sadly said Kota Bharu (my hometown) dun have any nice Sushi shop, this is why we have Ethan's family homemade sushi roll.

4. Road side Cake house a.k.a the Black Shop

***Location: Unknown; Shop name: Unknown; Car plate: Unknown***
Oh yeah, dun be deceive by the look of the peacefully looked cake house. Last few days, my friends that still in secondary school (Form 6) parked their car here. Some of them driving so a total of 5 cars parked outside this shop and walked to school for some activity after yamcha at that shop. From 10 to 4 o clock like that, then afterward they go back wan to drive back home and guess what the shop owner do? He park his freaking car behind their car and told them to pay for the parking fees or else cannot claim their car cause that spot is "Private Property".The boys argue back said they got drink at his shop before go to school somemore. But what the heck, the shop owner dun care what can they do? As you can see this shop definitely does not have a sign or whatever that state out infront their shop that "YOU MUST PAY RM3 FOR AN HOUR PARKING HERE IN MY FREAKING PRIVATE PROPERTY" or a simple "For Customer Only" or "No Parking". Pity those boys, they didn't bring any money to pay the shop owner and one of the boys RAN home to ask money from his mother to pay the shop keeper RM18. Then RM18 x 5 = RM 90. Woot easy earning for the shop owner right? Haha... Not for long cause the boy's mom are going to report them and soon maybe you cannot see this shop anymore :) So that's why I took this picture to remind myself of this kind of stupid shop also exist. BTW the food and drink here SUCKS, this picture is taken around 10 p.m. (Yamcha Time) but as you can see only 1 car there. LOL

0.00002/10 on Foodgelicious Meter and 10/10 on Stupidity Meter :)

UNSW~

Yeah!! Finally I got Offer Letter from UNSW. I was waiting for this piece of digital mail for quite some time already, So long until I forget when. Anyway, last night while I was chatting and playing facebook, I noticed that I got 2 unread mail inside my hotmail. Then I began to wonder is it those stupid facebook mail that said whoever or whatever useless thingy that waste my time, but when I saw the sender is UNSW instate of Facebook, I crossed my finger and open it. With hope that UNSW accept me :) Guess what? Hell yeah~ I get accepted by UNSW already guys. Let hear some cheer! At that moment, I said to myself (not out loud) : " HoLY SH*T, WTF WTH OMG BLOodY HeLL, I got AccePTEd bY UnSW wiTH my CrapPy ReSulTs o.O ". 

The next thing I do except jumping and laughing is, Open the offer letter and check the payment required :) To make sure that the fees are not too expensive and compare with other AUS University price. After comparison, it seems that the price only differ around 2k Aus Dollar. 

Now I knew that I get accepted, a lot of questions like accommodation, Aus's Life came in my mind but what the heck? These things can be settle slowly cause I still have around 4 month at Malaysia    :) -smiley face- 

Dirty Dirty..

Today I was looking back at my e-mail and I saw this few picture that are quite interesting. 

Fruit! Yeah, fruit with dirty little wormy thingy. Oh yeah, who dun like it better when your fruit have little wormy insect thingy in or on it. Anyway, lets skip the small talk, the email is about washing your fruit with salt water. They said that when you wash your fruit with salt water, those yellow thingy will not hang on your fruits but will be swiming around the salt water, yeah. Of course they are died. Duhhh... Talking about salt and wormy thingy, last few days I saw a worm happly crawling in my toilet's floor. Guess what I did? I go take salt and put on it then flush it away "Amitofut". haha.. that was preety cruel right? Anyway it is picture time :)

Yummy. Er... Dun ask me... I also dunno what type of fruit is this. Some type of Strawberry thingy maybe.

After take out the fruit from the salt water soaking, we can see some little dirty floating "stuff". lets magnify it.
**Twist - Turn** Oh yeah now I can finally see something :) Er got some pink/red fruit skin and some oren/yellow thingy.Hell.. what are those?? Lets magnify it sommore :)

WTF??? WTH??? Apa ini (Translation: What the Fuck is this?) Er Lets magnify it sommore :)

Congratulation, it is a Boy :) nah.. just kidding.  Er what worm is this? LOL it sure look stupid :) I think it still in larva form. Maybe when it grow up turn into a butterfly? Haha... MAYBE :)

HOT! hot! hot! Freaking HOT Weather

These few days weather are like SO so so So Freaking Hot man... Haiz..

I dunno about you guys but the weather here at my hometown, Kelantan are so damn hot. I read newspaper yesterday and saw that some area at the west side of Malaysia had been flooded. Oh my GOSH, why West side of Malaysia keep on raining while East side of Malaysia so bloody HOT???? Every time after work at factory, when I walk out of the office, my skin are screaming HOT. When I look up the sky, I can see "SOME" clouds but those clouds didn't manage to be blocking the Sun. The best part is when I enter the car. HOLY SHIT, can't even sit inside for 5 second, after starting up the car, I quickly jump out of the car. "Car = OVEN" If you think you can sit inside for 10 minutes plus close door plus off air con plus the bloody HEAT, I will give you 10 bucks IF you didn't die or melt inside.
