Rojak Topic (Not Food)

2009-01-14T22:03:00.005+08:00

Hello again guys ^^ Sorry for not writing so long~ This is because I had gone down to KL for shopping with family. Haha at least that was the original plan, instead I turn out in my friends house playing PSP with them for the whole weekend :) Just bought 1 Top man Shirt on the whole trip and just because I dun have enough cloth to stay 1 more night. Finally What I got for this whole trip is 2 dark eyes. Now I notice something: Wan Dark eyes easy, when wan get rid of them Hard as hell. Need to do mask, sleep early and shit, but I still stay up until 3a.m. every night :(

Hmm what to talk about leh? How about PSP? This must be a let down for some people that usually follow up with my blog because 'THIS STUFF IS SO NERDY, WHERE IS YOUR FOOD????' ^^ But what the heck, bottom part I will talk about other topic to make up with this :) Actually this PSP 3000 cannot be hack because of the new chip installed in it. The meaning of cannot be hack means: You need to play Original version, Yes as in those UMD tape thingy =.= Expensive like hell 1 small UMD cost around RM170... Try imagine RM170 for only 1 GAME!!! Unlike those older version of PSP (Fat n Slim) you can get download the game and put into your Memory Stick to play :) And you can keep change your game until now I have around 30 Games but some of my friends keep over 50 or even 100 games. Lately I been playing 1 PSP game called 'PATAPON2 : Don Chaka'. This is a cute game with music rhythm playthrough, although it still haven't release English version me and my friends nearly finish the game already :)

Before I go to KL on the last trip, I got stop by Inti and stay overnight at Andrew room. The best thing about that night is I goes to 2 dinner. Once with my junior and senior Course mate and once more with Andrew Gang BBQ :) My God, John make the LAmb chop so nice but I dun dare eat too much cause it is very heaty. Dunno why it is so HEATY? Let me describe how that lamb chop is marinate (I wasn't there when the whole process took place). Ok first they go to Giant and buy some lamb meat, then off they go to Andrew room. Guess where they marinate those lamb chop? I bet that even u always get A flat at exam also hardly guess where they marinate those lamb chop ^^ They use Andrew's Bucket that used to watch underwear... LOL :) Yummy!!! Ok then they pour in the Rosemary Sauce, pepper and lots more ingredients. The whole process of barbecuing the lamb chop is another story ^^ I does not pay many attention to Jon Bbq-ing those lamb, because I was busy flash my camera to my unaware friends ^^ Here are some picture :)

Last but not least, Chinese New Year is around the corner guys, so what is your 'New Year' resolution? For me, I plan to study my best at oversea and dun over do myself :) Stay happy always is more important right guys? Those at Sydney can gimme a call to Shop or Club ^^ as long as I can finish my work I think i will go out WET also :) I better go brush teeth already, just finish Yum Cha with friends ^^ C-ya chat next time guys ^^

Robbers in Neighborhood

2009-01-07T14:14:00.002+08:00

Oh my Gosh, my eyes are killing me. I having sore eye now due to lack of sleep and wake up TOO early. WHY? All thanks to yesterday night electricity down. Today I wake up wit 2 dark eyes and well its look horrible :)

For today blog I wants to write about our neighbor house that nearly got rob at early morning!!!! Nowadays Theft are so brave, go to rob people house at early morning.

Ok here is how to story goes.

At 3 something, the 3 robbers slowly drive through our neighborhood and stop at one of my neighbor house. We get to know the time the robbers drive-through is because of CCTV, those that does not have faster go to install now!! USEFUL man.

2 of the robbers climb into his house and one of them wait inside the car for a quick getaway. They even bring sleeping bag to sleep, woot how comfy~

At 6.30 am, when my neighbor wife wan send her standard 1 daughter to school. As she open the wooden door and the metal gate, the 2 robber tried to rush into her house with holding gun and knife. The wife shock and faster close the metal frame tried to stop them from coming in and shout for his husband. The husband rush down and fight with the 2 robbers tried not to let them in. Despite get cut and pointed by the gun, my neighbor dunno eat what medicine got the courage. His wife keep shout to his husband that dun let these robbers in or else it will be the end. Oh yeah the robbers have gun right you said? My neighbor said that they only heard "click!click!" sound... Luckily no water come out!! Haha...

As they are fighting and shouting there, all my neighbor heard of it and come running out shouting. The 2 shock and frighten robbers faster jump out of the fences and into the car for the quick getaway.

Yeah !!! Neighbor 1 , Robber 0; In your face stupid robber that come to rob in the morning when all are preparing to send their children to school.

As the robbers make their quick getaway, they left some item for my neighbor. Wah such good robbers. Hmm guess what they leave behind...
1. 2 Sleeping bag - RM30
2. 1 Camping bag - RM50
3. Mobile phone with Malay chick photo inside - RM200
4. Mask -RM5
5. Black Stick that use to beat people -RM10
6. Keys to dunno where -RM0

Hmm at least got around RM250. Generous robbers indeed.

Thanks to CCTV their car plate also been pass to police, although the car plate are usually fake but what the heck. Oh yeah that time all of the neighborhood dogs came out barking loud like shit, but Ethan still sleeping like a log. Haha ^^

The reason that house get aimed? The police said that these is not the first time. These robbers keep aiming for those that sell GOLD for their living. Haiz, this is because 9 out of 10 of them are rich.

All thanks to those neighbor that stood up for him :) But got 1 of the neighbor said that "Make your house so pretty for what? See robbers sure aim you." ZZZZzz.... Haiz some human are so ....

After this incident my house go put siren system =.= ZZzzzz and my neighborhood come out with a list of telephone number so we can contact each other in case of emergency.

Conclusion, nowadays theif cannot be smarter? sleep outside their door and try to rush in ??? with fake gun??? and early morning when all ready to go work or send their kids?? LOLs... Interesting!!!!

'Wet' New Year !!!

2009-01-03T23:56:00.005+08:00

Just finish a long hot bath and here I am, sitting in front of my laptop writing another post on my blog. Let me start with the weather these few days, it is freaking cold man. Everyday windy and raining, today is the worse, raining heavy non stop from morning until just now around 11. Haiz I think my hometown going to flood again guys. The only thing can do now is pray that flood does not come pouring in. If thee town gonna be flooded, please flood before Chinese New Year!! I dun wan have a terrible CNY before going to Australia :)

I still remember last few days go out Yam Cha with my friends, when I drive pass a digital thermometer that shows '26.0°C'. Haiz... although I think this reading doesn't means shit for those that have 4 seasons but in Malaysia that is very cold already, plus it is windy that night. I also heard that a wedding buffei lunch took place on top of a high rise building, guess what? Because of the freaking Massive wind (exaggerate a bit), all the empty paper plate flying down the building and those long hair Chick have to eat their hair when they open their mouth :) Yummy.

Rain rain rain, but there is some benefits when it keep raining. Apart of the cool breeze of wind and nice atmosphere to sleep, my house got addicted with steamboat fever. When the weather is cold, Steamboat!! When it is raining non stop, put some La-La in the soup and have a Steamboat!!! Nowadays, there is a new style of cooking the soup of steamboat, after going to Korea and experience the healthy eating habit there. Ok, first pour plain water in, second put La-la, third put the Ang Ki Chi (little dried red beans shape), and there you have it~ Healthy steamboat.. All thanks to the fresh La-La, the soup will become sweat without adding any sugar or chicken stock. If I not mistaken I already ate 5 steamboats during this rainy season :)

Ever wonder how Ethan pass his 2008? On new year night, after finish dota-ing with Pey Yang and we go out celebrate NY at McD together with my little brother. Lame and boring right? I know a lot of you guys having countdown somewhere or clubbing to celebrate but we just go McD. Haiz, there is a countdown at Kelantan Stadium but a lot of people going there so we didn't go cause scare traffic Jam plus it raining heavily outside. Talking about countdown and clubbing, I saw a news in newspaper said that a Bangkok club explode in fire because they celebrate with fireworks INSIDE the club. The town building cought fire and 60++ people dead while 25X injured. Stupid move to do, fireworks goes off inside a building.

Ok la, seem that enough story to cover for the last few post that I had been missing out :) Good nights guys!

Merry Christmas

2008-12-24T23:52:00.002+08:00

Dear Readers,

Ethan here, wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Lets celebrate this Christmas with Joy and Laughter :) Smile always oh

Ok continue entertain my Psp.

Busy Busy

2008-12-20T14:37:00.002+08:00

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

2008-12-14T12:55:00.003+08:00

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?

2008-12-09T21:46:00.002+08:00

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

2008-12-06T13:20:00.007+08:00

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

2008-12-03T12:39:00.003+08:00

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.

Apply Visa? Troublesome -.-

2008-11-22T20:31:00.005+08:00

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? :)

Foodgelicious - III

2008-11-18T13:46:00.006+08:00

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

2008-11-18T11:46:00.004+08:00

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)

2008-11-12T14:33:00.003+08:00

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

2008-11-12T14:03:00.003+08:00

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

2008-11-09T10:52:00.013+08:00

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

UNSW~

2008-11-06T12:41:00.003+08:00

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..

2008-11-04T14:33:00.004+08:00

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

2008-11-03T15:55:00.004+08:00

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.

Kao Jam (Green Rice)

2008-10-31T21:05:00.006+08:00

Happy Halloween guys ^^ as usual halloween not popular here in Kelantan. You can hardly see any sign of Halloween here. But today my aunty cook a popular type of food at Kelantan called "Kao Jam" and I dare to said that it is the tastiest among other type of food at Kelantan. Here is a Picture of Kao Jam. Mmmmm... yummy ain't it?

The rice of "Kao Jam" is very special. The color of the rice is green, yeah GREEN. haha... last time i bring some friends from INTI to my hometown, they didn't even wanted to try this food out cause of the weird color.

So this is basically the dining table of my house. As you can see we all use hand to eat this dish cause this dish is invented by Thai, plus the taste not same when you use spoon. I think is because dun have the taste of your sweaty hand and dirty finger nail, haha just kidding. Anyway we all need to wash hand before eat this, duuhhh.. Grown-up like to eat "Kao Jam" with the Green Chili (inside got fish meat). Oh ya, forgot to mention this "Kao JAm" dish is homemade :)
We basiccally include every thing inside our green rice and mix around to make "Kao Jam", but it is up to yourself either you want what vege or even PETAI (smelly bean, bluekkk). But I prefer my "Kao Jam" with a lot of onion. haha...

Then not to forgot to put in bits and pieces of fish meat in the left corner of the picture. Those are just every day's fried fish but remember to take out bones before tearing them to bits. See the right corner? The weird color soup you say? haha... "Budu" again... haha.. If you wondering what is "Budu", it is juice of fish. Hell yeah... You put fish inside a bottle and let it rot to become this juice. But must make sure no flies lay egg in it. Erm.. Yeah it is eatable.
Last but not least, my homemade Chili. Believe me when I said this Chili padi is FREAKING HOT!!!! Even me myself cannot put more than 2 spoon into my "Kao Jam". Oh yeah... then I need to drink 3 cup of water to cool things down. haha
When you got everything inside your dish. You mix everything around to make sure the taste is good. Say not too spicy on the left side or salty on the right side. And there you have it, "Kao Jam". Bon appétit

Remember to eat with fish crackers and with your hand.

All in a day work.

2008-10-28T21:10:00.007+08:00

Another day at my father office. Today while I was calculating the material needed for some project, my father said me to go to some place to deliver some screw to one of his project's site. So I followed him to somewhere near "Tok Bali" lo. The project is a government's chemical lab and my father's worker are there assembly the roof truss.

On the way, we drove across this bridge that is so damn narrow. Only 1 vehicle can pass at a time.

After 30 minutes of driving, we final arrive at the site. There was only 6 worker there. 1 handling the crane, 1 driving forklift, 3 on the roof's beam and 1 assemble those screws that we brought there. So there I was busy with taking picture while the worker assemble the beams into place.

This is a picture of the beam after combine together but haven't drag and install onto the roof.
This is a picture of the screws and nuts come to use :)
These screws are 1 & half inch thick.

This is a picture of a forklift lifting a purlin up. You might ask why they install a purlin onto the beam when it is still not yet complete? The reason is to keep those 2 beams in place, cause you can see the weather is a total mess (windy & cloudy) and it is just 1.30p.m.
When 2 purlins are installed in place, the wind won't affect the position of the beam so much. Surely when u saw this picture below, you will start to wonder how are they going to go down?
See this worker walk like nothing on so high up also make me scare =.= How am I going to be an engineer i ask myself :(

See this worker just "Slide" down easily.

Hard to make out the next picture right? It is a picture of a worker getting down by the help of forklift =.= This is the 1st time I saw people use forklift for that purpose. LOL

Woot a crane.

After installing those 2 purlins, the workers are off to their lunch, so do father and me ^^

We drove back and go to a Malay restaurant near our factory to dig in. We have a kind of food called "Nasi Sumatera". The table is filled with food and you can choose what you like to eat, but take in mind that you only can use the spoon they provide in the dishes for hygiene purpose. Two things that I like most is the curry Beef and fried chicken. Oh my gosh they tastes good but are expansive, two person eat cost about Rm23. Zzzz...for my opinion it is not worth it but what the heck? The shop near our factory, the food taste good, & the service is good :)

Singapore Trip

2008-10-20T23:31:00.005+08:00

Hello, I'm back from Singapore Trip with an interesting story.

At 16 Oct 2008 around 8 p.m., I board the train to Singapore. I'm happy that I have the bottom row of the sleeping area. Due to bottom slot have larger space compare to upper. The ticket said that I will arrive at 10 a.m. but as always KTM will delay. For my case, the train reach Singapore at 12.30 which means it delayed for 2 hours. Lucky inside train, I have my Ipod and PSP accompany me. As for my breakfast, I had some biscuits. For those that never seen inside of a KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu), here are some picture.

As soon as i reach Singapore's train station, I saw my grandmother, grandmother's mother and also my grandmother's brother waiting for me. After i greet them, They bring me to "Ku-kong" (uncle Hwa) apartment to take a bath. After bath they bring me to Sushi Tei at Paragon. I had my best sushi at Sushi Tei (for now). After that I separate with them and wait for my friend outside of Paragon. My friends said that they will come to meet me after 6, therefore I just walk around Orchard Road and window-shopping at Takashimaya, Paragon, and others shopping complex around Orchard Road. After we meet up, we shop around Orchard Road and watch "Max Payne" at midnight. Here are some picture I took while I spend my time with my friends.

Me and Ho Seak stayed at Pei Yang's house. We spent the night playing games, watch TV, drink alcohol, play cards and more. We spent whole Saturday at Bugis Street and Monday afternoon at Queenway. Oh ya, nearly forget to mention the weather at Singapore was cloudy and rain from time to time. We are walking/running in the rain to bus station to call a cab, there was a kind mother and her son approaching us from behind. She insisting on lending us her umbrella and then she share another umbrella with her son. Luckily we got our cab afterword and returned her the umbrella. Wow what a nice person right?

Around 5 p.m., my friends accompany me to Singapore's Train station and there I meet up with my grandmother and we board the train back to Kota Bharu.

Conclusion: The trip to Singapore was Fun and Amazing, and if give me another chance I will go there again but hopefully next time the train does not delayed so much.

Inflation rate in Zimbabwe

2008-10-15T21:26:00.003+08:00

Zimbabwe is the poorest country in the face of the earth.

For the moment, Zimbabwe is the world record holder of the biggest inflation rate of 2,200,000 % (2.2 million percent!), furthermore, prices are very unstable and change in a every few minutes time, so it is not weird if the business man in Zimbabwe are busy with changing the label of their goods every minutes!

On 20 July 2008, the bank of Zimbabwe have printed out small change of 100 Million Dollar! It is the biggest small change in the world~!!!

Zimbabwe is holding a lot of world records, but sadly all of those records are not to be proud of. :-(

For your information, this 500million is just worth 2 dollar America or just enough for a meal.

Daily goods.

Money needed to pay for a family's meals.

Monthly salary. How to bring back their home is also a problem. Taxi or Lorry?

So much money to trade for a piece of USD.

One thing can be sure from all these picture.

Those handbag or wallet company at Zimbabwe sure are out of business. :/

Trip to Singapore

2008-10-12T04:48:00.000+08:00

I going down to Singapore at 16 Oct ^.^ Originally I was planning to go a week earlier but there aren't any sleeping sits available for last week. This is because I too late comfirm the date I going down to Singapore, therefore the sleeping sit are all fully booked. I had to delay my plan for 1 week.

Trip to Singapore are train are very boring, nearly 15 hours of sitting/sleeping inside train. Most worse part is I going down ALONE. Haiz 'Boring' this word keep floating in my mind when I think about the process going to Singapore.

The main purpose of I going down to Singapore is that my grandmother Visa expired. Therefore, I need to bring her back to M'sia to do her visa. My grandmother lives at her sister house at Singapore. My grandmother house are quite OK, her nephew are older than me and all at working stage. But youngster like me are active and does not like to stay indoor. Luckily I have some friends over at Singapore, I plan to stay overnight at their house and hang out or whatever.

I hope I can have a lot of fun at Singapore cause after this trip I need to wait for like a very long time to go over there again cause I going to Aus to further my studies. And hope that the train does not broke down half way if not I am 100% bored until dead.

Plans? Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
