Potluck 27/2/08

story begins from tis: after sending sheng off, 1st time in the history, we go home early! except for me, i reached home at 2 somethg again, aww, sooo tiring ler, even until now, 2 days later, i feel tat my battery still havent full.

then when liew, shyan and i wake up the nex morning, it is already 10 somethg, almost 11. after having a simple brunch, coz we know tat we will have a big big meal at nite, we shop the 1st round in jusco. there, we bought 2 whole chicken, 2 pork belly, some vege, 30 small prawns, potatoes, garlic, onion and some sauces. they r enuf for 7 dishes. at tat moment, we cant think wat else to cook, so we just go bek and rest for 1 hr, take everythg into the car and got to carrefour to shop again while waiting for cheng to reach there at 3pm. after buying everythg, we had ingredients for 9 dishes and one soup in total. well, here come our 1st mistake, we din consider tat ladies cant eat much, but do they really eat tat little?

we reached leng's house at around 4pm and we start to prepare immediately since it was really late edi~ cheng and i clear the chicken, 3 whole chicken in total, the rest prepare ingredients for soup and curry chicken. i dun quite know wat they did, wat i know is they peel the skin of potatoes and get rid of the shell of prawn, since i was in the kitchen all the time, clearing the chicken for 2 hrs plus. then when time passes, more and more hands come into the kitchen, helping to peel garlic, onion and clear the big prawn.

"processing" the chicken on the left picture and garlic peeling on the right. can guess whose hand r those? some ppl tends to show like they r working as well, so they just walk into the kitchen when they saw the camera is shooting in the kitchen. u noe who i mean..

there r videos on how those dishes are cooked as well, but just for the 1st 2 la, both chicken... when we start to put raw material onto the stove, oni i know our gang r quite health conscious, they oways stop me from cooking too salty.the 1 who interupt me the most is cheng la, she is the super chef assistant, coz she helped in all 8 dishes. she know how to cook 1, but she just lazy to cook, nex time we shd force her to cook hehe... 1 thing tat surprise me the most is liew can cook really well!! it doesnt match his look kekekeke, sry liew, but tis sentence seems to praise u more hehe. liew cooked 3 dishes - curry chicken, tomato prawn and super hot kangkung. i cooked 2 as well - "kung bao" chicken and potatoes. 3 more dishes are cooked by leng ("fu zuk" and cabbage) and ling ying (a salty prawn with 3 layer<层次> of taste - quoted from bopet). for the picture of dishes, refer here.

well, our dishes although cannot fight restaurant, but personally, i feel they r kinda good, not to praise ourselves, but my tongue wont tell lie. although some dishes r not salty enuf to me, but they r too salty for others, i think i m 1 of the ppl who have heavy taste. tat's y we will always need taster to taste those food, so tat a moderate taste will be produced. there r always argument on is the food salty enuf like:

version 1:

c: 来试一下，我觉得不够咸。

t: 哇，你吃很咸咧，够味道了啦！

c: 真的不够啦。

t: 等一下太咸就吃不完了。

c: 好啦。

the above is usually my case...

version 2:

c: 来试一下。

t: 不够咸咧，加多一点盐/酱油。

c: 会咩，我觉得够了啦。等一下太咸就很难空口吃了。

t: 好咯，健康点。

tis will usually happen when liew is cooking.

then bout leng, haha! cannot stand, she burned the garlic when she started to cook. do u guys see those black black thing floating on the fu zuk soup? tat's burned garlic. sry leng, i just cant forget tis part haha! i dun think to laugh at u 1 ok? every1 who dun go to kitchen will make mistake, i just wan to share tis interesting part with every1... and for ly, tis lazy gal finish cooking in i think 5 mins, wasted the butter we buy for her, it cost around 8 bucks ler~ at 1st, every1 tot she is cooking 奶油虾, then we buy a better butter lor, but at last she produced a simple yet salty prawn. to me, i feel it's kinda nice, coz i like salty food wad, and some prawn r kinda fresh (not all, coz we dunno how to choose), they r sweet in taste, i like it.

tis is all i would like to share in the preparation and cooking part. all dishes we prepared r XXL size, we cant finish everythg even we had decided not to cook the last dish - 炒花肉. the winner of eating is Troy ( formerly known as Bopet ), followed by fish head and liew. i cant eat much coz i already start eating since i start to cook haha, it is my bad habit, sry :P for gals? dunno y every1 eat so little, those who used to eat much dun seems to have appetite tat nite, our dishes got prob issit?

we tok and clean up everythg in leng's house until 12am then we decided to leave her housemate a quiet environment to sleep. then we proceed to find kiong, somethg i would like to say here, liew, dun stop at junction, it's really dangerous! we slept at 5am tat day, y? refer to shien's blog

tat's roughly wat happened, and some personal tots here:

thx for those who dun "give me up", there r 2 persons who persuaded me to go while i was recovering my mood, thx a lot or i will miss out lots of fun with u guys. and shyan, glad to know u more in tis 2 months time, if u remember, we r not tat close previously. i know tis is ur last gathering with us this yr, hope tat u will have an interesting final year over there, be happy always and do miss us sometime k? i told u how i felt during my 1st month in london rite? so i dun use the word "always" here. sry for not farewelling u in mentakab, i dun wan to skip class anymore, hope u will understand k? take care ya, god bless u...

Goodbye, my fren

tis post is dedicated especially to my best fren, i dunno whether will u read it or not, but i still insist to write, at least i will remember tis day - today is the last day he stay here for 1 month plus. although he din spend a lot of time with us, but at least, he spent one whole day + a nite yesterday with us which i feel it's enuf. old frens, there r always somethg that we dun need to say, time we spent together can no longer measure how close 2 person's relationship, i dun really know how is others, but at least for me and him, it's enuf~ oww looks gay, but tis is how it shd be, just another sentence to emphasize tat i m absolutely normal!!

everythg start from last nite after my class, i DIN skip class last nite o! 6 person in total including me went to Williams, a mamak at tmn megah for supper, dinner for me. oh, tat was a fantastic meal, nice food but seriously it's expensive! after tat, since it's still early, we went to asia cafe which i din go for ages for pool and fusball ( dont really know how to spell, but it's like table football ), we din expect we will hang around there for such a long time, but it started to rain heavily half way of our game! the car was parked too far, so we can only wait for the rain to stop. guess wat time i m able to get my ass home? it's 5am!! ah, not the 1st time, but it's really tiring~~

while for today, we went to kin kin again for our brunch after some sleep, ntg special, just a meal wad... then we went to sing, it's the 1st time i sing since around 4 weeks ago, not a very long interval, but to me, it's really long haha, ok, i just like to sing~ 1st thing tat surprise me today is leng decided to skip class to hav tat brunch with us, and she is joining us for K! oh well, sheng is leaving, i can understand tat. however 1 more most interesting thing tat happened is all of us start crying when we present 3 songs to sheng - 分享，祝福，朋友... oh, it's really weird, i sang it lots of times to other frens b4 tis and i din feel anythg previously! how come such thing happen today? the feeling was kinda amazing, i started to get uncontrollable in less than 1 min when v r singing the 1st song. tis is not the 1st time he's leaving, supposingly, we shd not hav such feelings, and seriously i din feel anythg much when he left last yr! well, time passes and it changed me a lot, i started to appreciate frens even more after i had been to london. who will be there to help u when non of ur family members r able to help u? fren! who will u 1st tell ur secret to? fren! for most cases. and lastly, who is the 1 who will always accompany u when u r boring? no need me to mention again rite?

sry, was too sleepy last nite, went to sleep half way, let's get it continue. at nite, v depart to klia at about 9.30pm, v tried new highway : kl - putrajaya highway, it's awesomely fast but we need to pay extra 2.50 since v r not going from putrajaya but linked back to PLUS highway, shit! again, we sit down in McDonald in KLIA, oways tat place, except for mine at KFC during my departure haha... the situation was weird, coz we r toking bout our topic 1 side and sheng is feeling 沉重 at another side. well, it's not tat we dun wan to tok with him, but his phone rang non stop, we dun hav much chance to tok. so when i asked some1 (forgot who i asked) y is it so, she answered me, tis is our trend. uhm, serious? haha... ok, no1 cried in the airport, every1 was fine. crying is not an easy job though, need a specific timing, specific location, specific environment and specific person.

CNY is over at last!

hmmm, everythg seems to cool down edi, chinese new yr over, routine life begins. define routine?

1) facing the monitor all nite?
2) go to class in a routine style?
3) only got activity once in a while?
4) yum cha once in a week during weekend if some1 is bek?
5) posts getting slower?
6) sing weekly? unless miracle happens =.="

actually, is it healthy to hang out with frens tat frequent? wat will ur parents think? there r discussion elsewhere but none of it seems to give me an answer... i read an article bout cny's lifestyle in newspaper days back, it describe how we (youngster) celebrate cny - meet up with hometown frens (aka old frens), chit chat a lot and gambling a lot. then when cny over, every1 gets bek to their own life, some will not used to the loneliness, especially those who stay alone outstation, coz u noe, when a gang meets, it will be as noisy as market. (for my gang, mayb 2 gals is enuf!haha :P) for those with strong mentality, they will get used to it after few days, but for those weaker 1, they might get mental disorder! after reading tis, i feel like "wa, so serious 1 meh?" well, not to scare those who r still thinking bout tis prob, just sharing wat i read from newspaper. if like tis, psychiatrist will hav a fruitful income after big events like cny lor? haha, those who study psychology can consider to work here. i just know tat malaysian faces such prob, pity malaysians, play too hard oso can get stupid~~~

so, wat bout me? glad to say tat i m still normal after series of events starting from my dear fren's bday till last week's valentine day ( or i would rather known it as single awareness day - i m not copying, i m the 1 who spread tis term! ) and finally, we got 1 week break now. finally? i dun quite like tis word, coz it makes me feel as if i wan it to end eagerly and it "finally" ends, instead, i kinda enjoy days from tis period. it's true tat my result gave me a big impact! will still think bout it once in a while, or my cny will be a fantastic 1! y must the god be so cruel to me? there is also a theory stating tat u will remember an event clearer if somethg "negative" happens. mayb the god wan me to remember all my cny well ( i failed 3 papers during last cny, swt~~~), can never forget tis.

from tis post, u will know how free am i now haha, i m waiting for my class to begin next week. books again~ no wonder i will lose so much tis cny! "输"! nothing to contribute into my savings edi. hope tat i get a job as well, go bless me, dun make my life too harsh!

p/s: i would like to remember tis as well, liew got the final angpow from me at 12am sharp at chap goh meh! i purposely make him remember this is his very last ang pow, mayb in future 4 yrs as well :P

内心的感受

崩溃了一整天，是时候振作了吧？！你看，不只你家人，就连你朋友都这么支持你，你还伤心什么？又不是第一次，不需要这么长时间复原吧？你现在应该做的不是沮丧，而是反省；不是冲动，而是深思你现在最需要什么，朝那方向去。

其实，我今天真的彻底被我妈打败了，不知为什么，她说的话总是很有说服力，她总有办法安慰及劝服我，令我想通到底我应该往哪个方向去。虽然是事实，我必需，也只能面对，然后设法解决，但我真的真的觉得自己很没用！曾经是高材生的我，现在竟然连考试都过不了，我确实有点不知道要怎么样面对“江东父老”的感觉，所指的，当然是与我从小一起长大的同窗们咯。相信除了我家人外，唯一见证我堕落的人就是他们了。

我知道你们一定不会介意，反而还会安慰及支持我，看了你们的留言，我很感动，除了感谢，真的不知道要怎么回应你们了。有时我会想，你们个个都是专业人士，而且成绩都很好，至少不会不及格，真为你们感到骄傲！所以每当回想自己这些年的成绩，除了为你们感到高兴外，我开始有点自卑了。有人告诉我，科目不同，不能拿来比较；也有人说，我是因为去伦敦，没能完全适应环境就考试了；后者，更有人说，就算适应了，时间也不多了，我还考四张纸，当然过不了咯。其实嘛，这些应该都是事发后拿来安慰自己，让自己好过点的借口吧。我始终觉得错在自己，如果自己能再更努力，就不会有事。因为远在伦敦，我有一个朋友也是去年九月才到，条件跟我还满相似的，他都过完三张纸呀！如果要赖科目，那我们朋友之间也有人跟我读同一科呀，她都全过，为什么我又不能呢？就算我留在这里考试，就能确保我能毕业吗？问心那句，我真的不敢肯定。所以咯，错在哪里，很明显吧。所谓人比人，比死人，我也不是要特地做比较的，只想找些东西激发自己，要向他们看齐！

至于我的打算嘛，经过我妈一番游说后，看来我又要再当学生了。我知道当学生是最幸福的，能做自己喜欢的事，但我心中还是有根刺，总觉得自己已经浪费很多钱。以前，我总是对自己的未来很有信心，总大大声说几岁要做什么，几年后会怎么样，但现在感觉上，我已经被acca打败，我对自己的能力完全失去信心，而且也没方向了。

写这篇文章，主要是让那些还担心我的人放心，我会尽快重新振作，完成我该完成的任务，不会再令你们失望。最后，谢谢那些总在我身边支持我的家人与朋友们，我不会再让历史重演！

sorry~

the thing i worried the most happened again, y shd it happen again since i really gave my best shot edi, y? y? y?!!! y is it so!!! tis is actually the main point to be considered for the nex gathering...

to all my dear frens, sry to say tis, but i dun think i got mood to join nor i wan to join the gathering now, plz bear with me ok? sry, very sry, especially to shyan, i offered my house for ur farewell but i m the one who might not joining. i know it is very near to ur departure date and it is difficult to find another time slot, but wat i can say now is still sry. consider to go for the 2nd alternative k?

some words...

oh gosh, these ppl r so efficient in blogging nowadays! see, i got ntg to post but can just crap here lorrr. for those who concern, u can kindly refer to their link i added to update wat i hav done these few days. latest update: valentine eve (the greatest valentine day i had ever passed, as u noe... ahem, sad, dun wan to mention) + KLCC skybridge (which i wanted to go long long time ago! thx to my dearest frens who had created tis chance for me)

mayb it is becoz shyan succeeded to heat every1 up, well done! now, even number of viewers had increased, ya, they r all very 38, undeniable haha. good job every1, 1 more medium for us to keep in touch with each other now, especially for those who stay abroad and still wanna keep contact with us. hope tat tis will not just last for a short moment. but it will be better if viewers will turn into bloggers as well, u know who i refer to. just kindly spend 1 hr every 2 or 3 days to blog wont waste u a lot of time. think bout it...

tis made me remembered a passage bout "frens to be dropped" we read in liew's car yesterday, it mentions that we will change our frens at different stage of life to suit our lifestyle and character, means tat we will somehow drop some frens tat we aren't able to contact or mayb shd i say cant communicate. then liew came out with a statement:" i think those who shd b dropped had been dropped, 4 yrs plus had passed and it is clearly shown who got heart to join and who r not. our gang will remain like tis possibly, half of our class had lost contact with us." well, wat i can say is hopefully it wont grow smaller anymore. try to keep in touch no matter how busy r u to avoid being "dropped"!

haha, finish crapping, just to fill up some free time b4 i had dinner at my grandparent's house.

Long waited Day 2 of Awana Kijal

Day 1 refer to Ling Ying's blog. Ya, it is quite complete edi, well done, but will it be better with some photos? haha, i know u dun hav...

Lets start from breakfast, as usual, tis gang of ppl just cant wake up happily, like to drag drag drag and call call call, some bad habit, cant help, or rather would i say "no medicine cure"? lolz... tis is the main reason we reach the cafeteria at 10:15(according to liew) while it will close by 10:30. but, for sure we din leave at 10:30, v just finish our meal by 11 somethg and we packed more than 10 buns for mr fish head. he din join us for breakfast for 3 reason:

1) like to sleep ( consider calling him pig head as well XD )
2) insuffucient coupon ( in fact, we had ODed 1 of the 2nd day's coupon, tat's y i din eat on the 2nd morning )
3) teeth pain ( pity him, teeth pain b4 cny lolz ) <-- i know i shd laugh, but i cant control!! XD

after tat, there is a souvenir giving ceromany hosted by liew and i. liew bought some cute souvenirs from cambodia and vietnam for every1 and also a bday present for 寿星女 few days back. while for me, for sure they r from europe ( those cities i visited ). well, sry to say tis, but all souvenirs i brought back were "dispatched", those hu havent get, ahem, sry ya... but if i m not mistaken, there isnt such person edi, unless for those staying oversea currently, hey, u guys shd bring me souvenir instead! lolz... then, it's our play time! u know how crazy r v? v even tk photos while playing in the pool, my camera case is wet, when squeezed, there is even water coming out! omg...
Tis is the "jacuzzi" (thx kelly, i changed d haha), the water is warm, and there r holes on the wall for massaging purpose, it uses water force. it is comfortable, but actually i feel a bit giddy after 10 mins, then we went out quickly to prevent "tragedy" haha. actually, there r 2 ponds here, it was 1 warm and 1 hot 10 yrs ago, but it is 1 warm and another cold rite now, dunno wat happened...






look at the top right corner, saw a person swimming towards us? tat's liew, he is on his way to join us for the photo haha! there is a 2nd photo simliar to tis, ya, he reached at last, haha!






Haih... pity crocodile, "drink" water non stop, cruel gang~~ bully animal. dont u guys know u r heavy?











a picture of 千手观音. i remembered a sentence quoted from someone : "怎么找一个最不象观音的人做头" ahhhahahaha, cannot stand!








another 经典... look carefully, the whole person is out of water! the whole weight is on our shoulder. can we consider as 可靠的男人？ya, shd be! tis made me tot of another sentence "一旦背起你，我就不会轻易把你放下." (quoted from 秀才爱上兵） liew, not refering to u, sry, i m not gay haha... i noe u r not too...





after swimming pool events, we go to the beach again. but fortunately, we forgot the plan to tk MV for chinese new year songs lolz, cant imagine how will it look like if we really do it. we play a game tat we used to play since primary skool - "big word". if u duno how to play, i duno wat to say la, very pity!! we got 11 person oni, coz daniel is sleeping in the room, so i volunteer to rest as my leg havent recover 100%. however, i joined the last game as connie is too tired edi.


some1 is in the sand, it's liew "again" according to them, he is reluctant at 1st but he is persuaded when we said tis might b the very last time, not for the yr but it might be the last in our life, sad to mention tis, but tis is so called LIFE. life is always filled with 无奈, if there's somethg tat we cant change, we can only accept it...








oh, stop it! tis shd be a happy event. well after tat, we went bek to rest for around 2 hrs to bathe and rest. all guys slept soundly after bathing, but gals r insane, u noe wat they did? YOGA! unbelieveable, where the hell r those energy from? seriously i m super tired. then u noe la, once sleep, the same thing happens, drag drag drag...we din hav our dinner at the resort, coz there is a "so called" famous restaurant at chukai town centre which is 20 mins drive from awana kijal oni. from my description, u shd know somethg, yeah, i m not very satisfied with the food. not blaming any1 since it is every1's decision, and i got some fault, coz i had been there twice(due to certain reason) with my family and how dare i duno the food there is sucks! even my father say:"har? y go there? the food there nice meh?" when i told him we had our dinner there. haha, my bad, sry every1, i was too young by tat time...

after dinner, we went bek to resort, i tot we will start s0me game immediately, but surprisingly, we guys watched 蜀山传 for 2 hrs until 12 somethg. kiong and i were surprise, how come it is so nice to watch it now but it seems terrible while we watched it through vcd yrs ago. then we reached a conclusion : video quality is important to determine whether the video is nice. while we were watching happily, gals r chit chatting all the way, liew joined them but he come bek half way, telling us cant join the topic haha! and almost all of them eat mee cup except, me ling ying and leng, we r on diet! they tends to attact us with the smell but our determination won at last! 正义必胜 :P

hey where is mafia? ya, it is the final event after all those chit chatting stuffs conducted by fish head, liew, kiong and daniel. they tok happily about politics in skool which seems to be boring to others coz every1 goes to sleep 1 by 1 until we officially announced mafia is started! the scene at tat momnet is kinda funny, those hu went to sleep wake up immediately to join the game! power of mafia~~ looks like tis game will be the major event for our upcoming trips ( will there b even 1 ever since? i wonder...)

tis is roughly how we spent our 2nd days in awana kijal. shd i conclude? since i m the last 1 who post haha... erm, this is a simple and relaxing yet content trip. seriously i hope there will be upcoming trip, but nothing can be promised, every1 is graduating 1 by 1. some forecast here, mayb our upcoming photos will be those in graduation ceremony, will i be able to join every1's? even those oversea? hmm, wat i can say is i will try my best ;-)

My poor day 2 (cny, not awana)

after a big won yesterday, i finally get my "报应" for winning to much of fren's money! i lost 81 bucks till now sob sob ( almost the amount of my grandpa's angpow T.T ) call u dun gambling 1 la, c la, now got it, tis guy really... dunno y, tis yr's hosts r blessed while players within our gang will just lose! duno wat curse is it. shien tk over the place of host today and he succeeded to win just as much as i won last nite at sheng's house.

there is also a main reason y i m here today - to jot down a special event last nite. after my big won last nite, i decided to treat every1 for a supper, just a supper, wont be costly rite? but u know wat? the supper ended up to be RM223!!!!!!! awesome, this is the most expensive supper i ever had in my life just at the stall opposite Tong Mah tyre shop in Taman Rimba. Gosh! wat hav u guys ate?! u noe, i cant really believe when the figure hit 200. lemme just tell wat had we ate since we din take any photos - 炸苏东 x2，salad油条 x2，福建面(for 10)，生虾米(for 10)，炸豆腐，上汤啦啦 and 金香 siham... wth? i cant believe we finish such much food just for SUPPER! there r 16 person in total who went but there r oni 7 of us who r really eating. ya, i m 1 of the 7 person for sure, i tried to eat as little as possible during the whole day but i ended up took so much for supper. some1 warned me for the 10kgs i lost in london but cant help, if i dun eat, we will end up wasting a lot of food, once a yr, just dun think so much XD~~

well well well, tis is the most interesting event till now, going out soon to meet dear sheng for the last nite b4 he left us again...

Happy CNY to all my frens

after the tiring trip, i was really exhausted, i even went bek earlier when i went out yam cha with my frens, too tired, cant help. I woke up at around 10:15 today, haha, a 9 hours sleep at last, feel so satisfy! well, i hav been busy since i woke up today, went to bankS since it is the last day of bank working day and i went worshipping in my grandparents house as usual(i did tis every year) rite after tat. then after lunch at 2pm, i went home to tidy up my house and hang something, at last i got some free time to blog this. nothing much, just wanna wish all my frens especially those who stay oversea currently a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! hope tat u guys can still enjoy ur CNY there as i know u might hav class on tmr as well...

a blue morning

1/2/08- 1st day of the month, i woke up at 8:15 am like yesterday becoz my house is under renovation, it is fxxxing noisy tat i cant sleep at all once they start their work, swt... i got ntg to do now except facing my dear laptop, crapping in blog like wat i m doing now. i m kinda tired now, cant sleep well for 2 days! sob sob... so i decided to run back to mentakab later, let my younger bro handle everythg else, haha! ya, he is pity to hav such an elder bro, but wat2do, he got class tmr and new furnitures are coming in on monday. well, i hope to help but i got somethg more important to do from tis coming saturday nite till nex tuesday! when think of this, the blue mood is swept away, i m kinda excited now, we planned it weeks ago and it happens to fall on just 2 days later!! besides excited, i m still excited. can feel my mood? hope tat tis will be another memorable trip for me and for every1, we "demoted" our trip from Bali to Awana Kijal to suit every1!! but i believe my frens wont disappoint me :-) however, when r we gonna succeed to organise a trip oversea? is the probability zero? probably we shd set tis as another prime target in our "things to achieve" list, in 5 yrs time? quorum : 4 pax
