Busy Busy

Haha.. Last week I was busy like hell, therefore no time for blogging. Since I just finish bath and have nothing to do, so I better write something in my blog or it will die.

Talking about last week, what I have been doing in office was trying to enroll my subjects that I am going to take in Unsw website. There have been some errors and I had to call Unsw Civil engineering office to take care of. In the websites, they stated that I does not have the prerequisite to take those subjects. I was stress out at first, but after knowing that my friends last time also encounter the same error I decided to give Unsw office a call. The first time I called them, one subject was successfully enrolled but the other one was full, so I had to call them again tomorrow. This whole enroll process take me 3 working days.

After that I was thinking of blogging but the internet connection at my house was down. I cannot write blog at night. zzzz.... while in the office in the morning, sometimes I was busy and those times that I am free, internet connection seem to be connecting very slow. When my house internet was fixed, I was busy 'Yam Cha' with my kb friends because most of them are back for holiday.

Oh ya, my laptop last time dunno why get attacked by Virus. zzzz.... I reformatted my laptop and guess what? The webcam still not working fine, I guess I will go to KL to have it fix before going to oversea or else how I going to webcam in MSN? Why I need to take to KL? Cause stupid Kb dun have Dell dealer. This really caused me a lot of troubles. Anyway, now it is time for me to go watch Astro again, this week on discovery is Shark week!!Woot..

Cousin Wedding

12/12/2008 is the day my cousin (表哥) wedding :)

In the morning, We go to the bride house with 8 cars. They said that all things done on that day must be in double. We depart around 10 a.m. and drive around 30 minutes to the bride house. Before entering the house, we are stop by the bride family member and needed to complete some task. 1st task was easy, just 10 10 sen coins. Then the coins are thrown into the icy cold bucket of water and use hands to take out the coins. After that another obstacle, a piece of paper fill with lipstick kissed are taken out and the bridegroom are wanted to guess which 1 is the bride lipstick kiss mark. Before the games are finish played, the human wall that bride family put up has been push break :) Aiyo, I wanted to see all the games, but they say that the "lucky time" is reaching soon. So the sacred ceremony begins, I span a lot of photo but I not really sure what I was doing :) Scare to explain wrong, therefore I leave it blank about the ceremony.

After that we go to the basket ball court and have lunch there cause the bride family have a buffet there. Finally we go back the bridegroom house at 1p.m. then continue with another part of the sacred ceremony. Something about giving tea to their mother and elder family or relatives. Then the part I remember most is the Ang Pao, the married couple gives out Ang Pao to those relative that haven't married. After that another buffet outside, Nasi Dagang (Purple Rice) :) 

Around 3p.m, I reach my home and take a nap until 6p.m. The wedding dinner start at 7.30p.m, and we held a small scale wedding party about 21 tables. The food are not bad and whole times got singing event, the bride side family go up onces to sing, and bridegroom side go up sang about 3 times :) Some guest are happy and drank a lot then gotten drunk early and go up sing then some of them dancing on the dance floor :) When the last dish of dessert are served, the dance floor filled with aunties and uncle dancing because it is Disco time!!! I also feel very happy and dance with aunties them :) Hiak hiak.... 

"Yammmmm~ Seng!"

Loo Family Singing

Disco Time

On that day, I realise that time pass very fast. Last time when I was small we all used to play together, and now my cousin is getting married. I am very happy for him :) Some day it will be my turn, hopefully. Haha for now Ethan make sure that He must study hard~

Life without Internet?

Hello guys. Last few days was a Bump! My Stremyx Tm-Net Blue Color Modem gone K.O. Haiz, it all started when my house experiences a temporary black out. By temporary black out, I meant like 0.5 sec electricity jump. This incident happen once for 2 days continuously. First time I didn't notice that because I was working, my little brother told me when I get home. Luckily nothing was broken or harmed during the 1st electric current jump. Well who care as long as nothing was damage right? On the next day around 5p.m, when I was running on the track mill machine when suddenly another tempo black out, I was shocked because the machine stop by itself =.= Then my little brother came running down telling me that Internet can't seem to be assessable. Things started like this:

Day 1:

At first I didn't really care much because I just use the Internet to check mail and surf web unlike my little brother mapling whole day. Not bad what, I get more free time to watch Astro and hang around with families.

Day 2:

Public holiday, Woot~! And public holiday means no work, Woot~! And no work means no Internet asses, Woot~! So I stayed home, woke up late and watched more Astro. Things are looking a bit boring but what the heck, I still can accept life without Internet. But on the other hand, my little brother was like "Boring until Hell" already. Later on that day, my family went to  mall and I tagged along.

Day 3:

The Boredness is coming to get me already. No mail and no facebook for the third day, things are looking kinda choked up like my unshaven face. I need Internet to make things move again! After a few minutes of running around, I discovered that my cousin Internet connection was normal, stable and running. After telling my little brother about that, we came up with 1 synopsis that not the whole neighbourhood Internet connection down, is the stupid Stremyx Tm-Net Modem spoilt. After We changed the Tm-net Modem with our previous Aztech (Modem+Router), guess what? Internet was assessable! Hurray.

Conclusion: 

-Life without Internet Sucks.

-You cannot check e-mail, no e-mail assess means cannot print out the air ticket comfirmation from e-mail.

-You cannot surf facebook, no facebook surfing means no leaving stupid comment on friends photo.

-Temporary black out or Electric Current jumped can be dangerous when you are running on track mill.

-Astro can be dangerous if overdose.

Foodgelicious IV

Hello guys.

Welcome again to another episode of "Foodgelicious".

On today chapter of Foodgelicious, I will be taking you guys to City of History and City of the South to have a closer look on their delicious foods. Let have a look on the menu below:

1. Satay Celup a.k.a Satay Sauce Steamboat

This is the famous Satay Celup from Malacca. You can choose from a variety of "Satay" and dip inside the Satay Sauce. This is much the same as "Lok Lok" except the sauce is Satay Sauce and taste much more Juicy with the nuts inside the sauce. But the wonderful thing about this Satay Celup is you can take as much as you want while eating a part of that without dirty the others, the price is just counted by the stick you ate. Wonderful e? See the picture above, we 4 people above also cannot finish it all.

Foodgelicious Meter: 7/10

Try it, they won't bite.

P/s: Dun throw "Si ham" inside unless all of your friends like it :)

2. Chicken Rice Balls a.k.a Fish Ball?

Another Malacca delicacy, the famous Chicken Rice Balls. As a Malaysian I sure that you all must have heard of this Chicken Rice Balls. What make it so special then? I have taste it and felt quite the same with other chicken rice I usually had, but the special part is the Chicken Rice Balls really looks like Fish balls as you can see in the picture above. Oh ya, their black soup are also famous for their weird color. But sadly I didn't get a chance to taste it because we got there late for some reasons. 

Foodgelicious Meter: 7.5/10

Better try it, or you will miss out the weirdness of this delicacy.

P/s: Chicken Rice balls REALLY looks like Fish balls la. Argh, no one believe me.

3. Cendol a.k.a Malacca Baba-Nyonya Cendol

Malacca Cendol? This not just any Cendol, It is the famous Malacca Baba-Nyonya Cendol! For me, this just plain cendol because I'm not really a Cendol fella. The special about this Cendol is that they use Gula Melaka (Malacca's Sugar) to make that Cendol and they are Baba-Nyonya. According to my friends at Malacca, Baba-Nyonya is last time before our Country even "Merdeka" yet, Malay and Chinese get married and have their children and they are called Baba-Nyonya. Oh, dun ask me about their religious cause I dun have a slightest idea.

Foodgelicious Meter: 6/10 

If the weather is hot, try it and it will taste more than 6. If rainy day, better go have a cup of hot "Ipoh Kopi".

P/s: Every one likes Cendol? Haiz I prefer Ais Batu Kacang "Kosong". Jom K.B friends let go Nasi Kukus and ABC when the weather is much more normal ok?

4. Mee Hoon Kueh a.k.a Hand-made Mee Hoon and a bunch of leaves.

There you have it, Johor Bahru famous Mee Hoon Kueh. I hardly believe it located just outside my friends house :) As they say looks can be deceiving, this plain Mee Hoon Kueh taste just awesome. The best part is the meat balls, we even call 1 more bowl of meat balls. Unlike the meat balls I usually ate, this meat balls inside are well cook and taste wonderful for every bite. 

Foodgelicious Meter: 8/10

Drewz:"Guys, lets call another bowl of meat balls ok?"

P/s: Sadly that shop not air-condition, most of my friends dun dare to touch the chili padi cause scare of sweating, except me. :)

5. Kueh Tiao Kia a.k.a Small Size Bowl of Kueh Tiao

The reason it called Kueh Tiao Kia is obvisiously the size of the bowl. Originally I wanted to share with my friends but they all said it is so damn little only. Other than the wonderful taste it offer by itself, there are a lot of side dish that can be ordered. There are "Pipe" (Pig intestine), Taufu, Pig Stomach, and much more Pig parts. This make this delicacy Very non-halal, sorry for some people that cannot taste it.

Foodgelicious Meter: 8.5/10

Taste marvelous, try it!!

P/s: J.B rocks because midnight they have supper can choose from a veriaty of food.

I'm Back

Hello Guys, I'm back! Last few days was simply marvelous. I was in Malacca, Johor Bahru, and also Kuala Lumpur. I going down by plane (FireFly) as usual to Kuala Lumpur and travel to Malacca by bus (K.K.K.L).

Malacca, The Historical State. 

After a nice nap in bus, my friend Andrew came to fetch me at the bus stop. The days in Malacca was like eating and play PS3 only. Me, Andrew and Tristan 3 people completed playing "Resistant" on PS3. 

Oh ya, foods at Malacca are just wonderful; Chicken Rice Ball that are round and look like fish ball thingy; Satay Celup that is buffet style steamboat using Satay Sauce; and more.

However, Clubbing in Pure Bar was Unsuccess due to the heavy down pour. What a let down :-( Sad Face.

I also been to Pahlawan to shopping and movie one set. Me and friends watched "Quarantine". Nice movie and not as dizzy as CloverField.

After 3 days in Malacca it is time for Ethan to go to Johor Bahru. Me, Andrew and Tristan travel by bus to J.B.

Johor Bahru, the South State.

Tristan and Andrew played Burnout on Bus, while Ethan sleep like pig :)

Dexin and David came to pick us up to Dexin house. We meet up with Leiyong and Wayne afterword. 

I did some shopping and had some of the popular foods in J.B.; Paper Warp Chicken is Chinese Herbal Chicken steam warp in Paper. (P.s: Thanks to Wayne & Leiyong for that meal.); Mee Hoon Kueh that have the best Meat balls I ever had. (P.s: Thanks to Dexin for that meal.); Kueh Teow Kia & it's Side dish are Appetising (P.s: Thanks to Dexin for that meal.); and much more.

We also gone to Sing K from  2.30p.m until 9p.m. (Rm9 per person) but unfortunately we are hungry before 9p.m and left earlier.

Oh ya, We also watching "Love Letter" with Dexin laptop at night. The show was funny and have some of the best dance move ever.

After 3 days at Malacca, We (Ethan, David, Andrew, & Tristan) sit K.K.K.L bus back to Malacca and afterword Andrew fetch me and David to Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur, The BIG State.

After arriving at JoN place and dinner together with his parents, we played Ps3 for a while and Dokapon on Ps2. 

We went to Summit & 1 Utama for shopping and JoN did the best thing in that month! He bought a Pc game "Left 4 Dead" and the game simply Rock! 1st person shooting game that can Co-op shoot freaking zombie. 

That night we was like Dokapon and see Andrew played "Left 4 Dead" online via Garena. It was funny because Andrew keep say to teammate: "lollollollollol" and do stupid stun that nearly killed himself like walk to a clift =.=

After 2 days in Kuala Lumpur, I finally back to Kota Bharu by Firefly. Lucky me the Air Stewardess was quite attractive :) Smiley Face.

Ok, thats wrap up quite everything of this holiday trip.
