Rojak Topic (Not Food)

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

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 !!!

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

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

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
