Second Year

2011-11-20T23:37:00.024+08:00

Forgive me for the long absence.
It is really a fusion of being absent minded, lazy, and indifferent.

So here's a quick breakdown

Second year, if you don't already know, is once of the toughest and most hectic years for medics in Liverpool. Not just because of the huge leap of insights and knowledge we have to attain and retain, but we have much less time for it. Increased amount of work, topped off with hospitals,GPs, and community attachments. Yet, I have realised, by the grace of God, I'm still quite relaxed and have not succumbed to the pressure and stress.

Quick flash on what's been going on lately:

1. Nottingham Malaysian Games 2011

Did not participate in any event but realised it was the cheapest way to meet up with everyone.

I'm glad I brought Andrew along so for once the many casual racism wasn't directed to me !

Some of the others I met up with

Oh yes, we met up with Robinhood

2. Lucy's/ex-homegroup Reunion Dinner

A very humiliating experience indeed! Highlight of the night? Sardines in the dark where Meg decided to trap me in the toilet.

So there I was fighting to hold on to the door with the little gap there was thinking there was someone on the other end holding it for a good 5 minutes before realising it was a sliding door and no one was on the other side. I almost kicked down the door.

Best part? I told Mr Josh Muir about it the next day in a text and one minute later Arosa texted me saying " I heard you were trapped in a toilet last night!" before realising that he had already told 6 other people in his hospital and they were all laughing at me.

I might as well mention it here as everyone knows about it by now

3. Emily's 21st

As usual, I was the joke!

before the fall...

With the birthday girl

4. Clinical Conference

So much for the hype to a very boring 3 day long presentation.

Yes, I started my presentation with :

"I'm sorry in advance for the mispronunciation of certain words, as you all can see, unless I'm severely JAUNDICED, I'm obviously not English. " and carried on with my presentation.

You were all thinking it, I just said it!

5. Lucy's 21st!

Fancy dress theme? Something that begins with the letter L.

And I decided to dress up as..... LAUNDRY.

Needless to say I was laughed and honked at walking down Smithdown.

Other costumes where others actually look good

Birthday Girl as Lady Gaga

Street to the rescue

How awesome do they look?

Somehow people who take pictures with me seem to keep their eyes real

6. Open Mic

Where I decided to brave Sara Ramirez' Rendition of "The Story"

Outcome? It didn't matter that i messed up bacause no one knew the song!

Thank you Amina & Dan for coming!

Came across this commercial which I found really amusing some time ago.

Thought of sharing it.

Also, this ad Is= nicked from J-Mee's blog.

Ps: Please tell me there are others out there who also entertain themselves with charlieissocoollike and community channel :)

Banned From the Canteen

2011-03-14T03:15:00.006+08:00

First off, my sincere apologies for the infrequent updates.

But this is vital information.

Yesterday, I got a text

:" Hey Anton, it's John. Just asking if you're ok. It says you're banned from the canteen? :S what happened? Xx

To which I replied : Not funny

When I walked in to the canteen, I saw THIS posted around and in front of the canteen.

( Sorry for the crumpled picture as my immediate reaction was to rip it)

This is the work of Daniel Bennet and Meena Chow Parameswaran.

AJ Morrison and Iza Izwana, you are not let off the hook either.

Btw, just in case you still haven't figured out, this was only a JOKE. I didn't actually steal food or got banned.

JUST YOU WAIT!

Edit: Yes, I forgot to mention the stares I got when I entered the canteen

Forget Beef, Forget Chicken, Bring on the SHRIMPS!!!

2011-02-08T04:12:00.008+08:00

I was asked where I wanted to go for our birthday dinner.

Though about it and realised how little shrimp I get in Britain.

And so ..

One of the few shrimp dishes we had. There were lobsters, shrimps& fish.

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

This would be my first out of the CNY heat with good food and "ang pows"

Instead, my celebration this year was a meal with

the Malaysian Society on the night of CNY itself.

Venue: New Shangri-La Restaurant.

My honest opinion, the food was good but not worth the amount we paid for.

Below are some pictures of our "10 course meal".

Soup

Prawns

PORK

Roast Duck

Sea Bass

Red Bean+Sago

I convinced her to go, haha.

Chid was there to embrace the Chinese culture

Iza Izuana

Happy 20th Kay!

2011-02-04T18:59:00.009+08:00

You are 20 right?

A very happy birthday to the friend back in Malaysia.

Birthday dinners are going to be of only 2 from now on.

Sorry I can't be there to celebrate, but hey, you already had 2 before your birthday!

These are some pictures I found on FB, with the help of the ever stalkish "Friendship" app.

Well, FB has it wrong because it says we have been friends since Dec 2007 but we go way back.

A belated post on how I celebrated my 19th birthday!

I was blessed to be able to go back home for Christmas and my Birthday.
I enjoyed every moment of it.
My apologies to those that did not know I went back,
and to those who I did not have enough time to meet up with.

Checked in the hotel in the morning.
Lazed a while then headed for lunch.
Had a buffet in the hotel itself.

Salad that sis made

I liked the Blueberry Mousse Cake

Lunch was really good. Hotel was not. I did not mention the name of this hotel because the service and everything was soo terrible. I might have a post juts on it.

Exams

2011-01-14T20:59:00.002+08:00

First exam since I've been here.
It's more of a trial actually, doesn't really count.
Nevertheless I should pass/do well since I'm paying so much to be here.
Only one more to go, after finishing 3 papers.
Thank God for helping me once again.
Truly by His grace, not my own strength.

See, I was back in Malaysia enjoying food during my winter break.to
Hence studies were very much limited.
I honestly only prepared for my OSCE, which is a practical exam.
It's really a first for me, preparing for practical and completely ignoring written papers.
Really had to trust God, and depend on Him.
When I reached back to Liverpool, I decided to just study for PP, PPD and IGS and put the most important bit of S&F( Structure and Function, which is what medicine is all about actually) behind.
I realised that I could not squeeze 3 months work of the entire body to 3 days, so why not focus on the other areas. I also went through the radio graphs.

So, I went for the exams on Monday.
Paper 2 was entirely on PP, PPD and IGS, as it should be.
Paper 1 was 1/4 radiographs, which I think I did well, 1/4 PP, which I think I did ok,
1/4 some sort of S&F which I could do and only 1/4 that I completely flopped.
I guessed that 1/4 was unpredicted and I would not have studied for that area even if I cramped in S&F. So it was worth while in the end.

Thank You God.
I am gonna put in more effort after exams though, as seen in the last post!

CU Houseparty/ Weekend Away

2010-12-06T06:43:00.012+08:00

Let me start by saying...
I DID NOT PRAY FOR SNOW. I noticed there's a rumor going on in church that I was.
I am not to be blamed for the snow.

Life as a first year medic is not easy. It is hard work.
If you think A Levels was hard, try Medicine MbChb.
And so, I needed a weekend away.

The Christian Union(CU) organizes a houseparty/weekend away every year.
Houseparty is just a term used to describe something like "CF Camp", it's not actually a party.
I decided to go for it.
26-28 November 2010.
It was in Cafn Lea Park, Mid Wales.
All I can say is, no regrets!

We departed Uni about 6.30 and headed for Wales.
It was a 2 hour trip and we reached at night.
We had a short service that night and then headed for the Mountain Snow Climb.
Lets just say it was a slippery journey up the mountain.
Many people slipped and fell. I was extremely careful
considering the fact that I am quite clumsy ( at times!)
I was proud of myself that I did not fall although I was given a bruise by the person who fell in front of and into me. ( And still I did not fall!!)
Let me also point out that I realised how Unfit I was, feeling signs of tiredness and breathlessness climbing up.
It must be all those late night eating and not exercising, which also contributed to my weight gain of 7kg. Moving On!

We had a few talks on Heaven and Hell throughout the 2 days while we were there.
Although I personally did not agree with a few things, I still gained from it.
During the free time, we decided to go sledging with ... BIN BAGS. Epic.
Oh, if you don't already know, Wales was covered in snow!

We also had a talent show on Saturday night. It was actually enjoyable I can say.
Oh ya, and the hall meeting turned into a dance floor after that?
It was freezing in Wales. We didn't realise how cold it was till we got back.
According to the girls, there was ice on the inside of a closed window in a small room shared by 4 with heater. Imagine.
I honestly did not feel that cold during the nights, all I needed was one Duvet.
On our 2nd night, it was actually -18 degree Celsius where we were.
According to the news, that night, Wales had the coldest temperature recorded in Brittain in the month of November in about 89 years. And we were just 10 miles away from that area.

Paul

Chid was there as well.

Chid, Andrew

Oh yes, our Sunday Lunch

Overall, it was a great experience, and I also met a bunch of awesome people.

Happy Anniversary

A belated one actually, To Mom and Dad,

Of being creative

2010-11-06T20:42:00.007+08:00

After being here for a month, I have mastered the art of being creative.

What happens when your washing doesn't dry even after you've placed it in the dryer?
Even after you cleaned the lint, even when you've not overloaded the dryer...

Instead of getting into a rage, you do the next best thing, you improvise.

Open you cupboard doors,

Use you bed,

Use the radiator/heater,

Chair,

All around your door,

Your laundry basket,

Still not enough?
Get your suitcases out, and unzip it!

Your room will now look something like this

You have some clothes left, fear not!

And the one I am most proud of:

How creative can I get?

YES I KNOW MY ROOM IS MESSY, YOU DON"T HAVE TO TELL ME

Bonfire Night 2010

2010-11-06T19:02:00.008+08:00

I've just been too busy to update, appologies for that.
Last night was the annual celebration of Bonfire Night 2010.
It's a celebration of a historical event which did not originate from something postive.
Click on the link if you wanna know more about Bonfire.
Anyway, every year there will be a public display of Fireworks in celebration of this event everywhere in England.
This year was my first.
We walked down to Sefton Park together with thousands, Tens of thousands actually.
By far the best I've seen, the pictures do no justice, neither does the video, HD konon.
Ok, the video is too big for me to upload here. There will be one posted on FB, I hope.

We had a little celebration ourselves before we left.

10 random things you should know about the Brits

2010-10-13T06:46:00.003+08:00

1. They do talk about the weather and drink tea.
2. They all have different accents and I particularly like the scousers one. ( Yea, I'm not posh)
3. They do not have tissues( except toilet rolls) or bins in their toilets.
4. I have yet to see an ant since I've been here, hence you can eat in your room, make a mess of the kitchen etc.
5. IT IS COLD, and windy, and rainy.
6. They do not provide me with fan or air cond in my room( it's cold so yea, but a fan would come in handy, especially in summer)
7. They do not think Malaysians speak English.
8. Their roads and driving patterns are weird.
9. They walk really fast ( seriously, whoever said they were laid back and take their own sweet time)
10. They drink, party, club, drink, drink and drink( i think you should all know this)

This list is random, and probably not all I want to mention. I just can't think of anything else to fill up the 10 spaces. I'll probably edit it when I remember. Those that are highlighted I still find very hard to adapt to.

Last but not least, they are nice to me, and I thank God.

Life in liverpool

2010-09-26T07:17:00.022+08:00

Hi all, it's been a while since I last updated.
I'm already in Liverpool, and it's been great here.
Thanks for all the prayers and concern, I really am doing fine.
So Here are some pictures and updates...

This is the story,

I Flew KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, So They served alcohol on Board.
Of Course I had to consume as much as I can.
So here, My Vodka and Gin.

When I arrived at Amsterdam, I had to get some of these

Liquor, Tobacco & Chocolate

Had to spend some time in the Casino you know, after all I'm legal..

Oh, Headed to..

This one is actually for Nick!

Oh ya, Had to go to the Loo,

And of course, by the time I reached Liverpool,
it was time to...

So yes, that was my first day in Livepool.
For those of you who actually believed, well...
For those who don't , this is what really happened..

This is what I had in the plane,

This is where I went to grab a bite in Amsterdam, where I got this panini which was really filling.

Some other pictures from the Airport,

Funny story behind this..
Some one (not this guy, a younger one) was trying to get through with this, but failed.
As you know, I am kiasu, so I had to give it a go, just to show him I can do it.
And so i went, I tried, and guess what?
I failed!
Why?
Not because I didn't have skills, but because I was not tall enough.
Honestly, the dutch are tall people and I coudn't reach the top without buzzing it,
even when i tip toed.
Well, whatever la, how many of you will actually
have the guts to try it out alone with people staring at you?

What's an Aqua Massage?

Lol, I found this area where a lot of people were sleeping.

The Panini I got

While boarding the plane from Amsterdam to Liverpool. IN THE FREEZING COLD

I see Liverpool....

Check this out
Now, a tour of my room

The very small kitchen we share

My door.

My amazing view. I was blessed with the biggest room( non bias)
and the best view(might be bias)

That's all for now. Pictures if the places I've been and the friends I've made will be up in the next post.

Farewell, I bid

2010-09-06T20:35:00.004+08:00

To my very good friend..
Even though we only knew each other for a year,
it's a friendship I'll cherish.

And so, I bid adieu.
Enjoy yourself in Beijing, and Melbourne.
Take Care!

*sorry, no other picture. I don't think We've ever taken a nice pic together, haha.

Perhaps this is my most dreaded farewell.

Updates.

Post Surgery

2010-09-06T17:21:00.002+08:00

Since I'm able to talk now, I can also talk online.
I finally had my wisdom teeth removed.
Why teeth and not tooth?
Because I had all 4 removed.
Removed is also a much nicer word for...
CUT GUMS, CUT TOOTH PIECE BY PIECE WHILE IM KNOCKED OUT.
I'm not exaggerating.
Since it was much much cheaper, I had to go to a General Hospital in Klang for my surgery.
I was put under GA(General Anesthesia) because I had all 4 removed at once.
I shall elaborate on some of my experiences there.
First, I had to be checked in a day before as told so that I could be put under observation, checked for abnormalities, fast etc.
So I went to the Dental Building to be checked in.
After quite a long wait, I was finally attended to by a Dentist.
The Dentist explained to me my condition and she wanted to
pull off 6 teeth of mine instead of 4.
See, a normal human has 32 teeth and me well, 34!
I have 2 extra teeth growing on the bottom side of my mouth, near the jaw.
Put your finger in the middle of your teeth on the bottom side,
start counting the tooth one by one till you reach no 5.
Observe this tooth, I have duplicates of those exact same pairs growing deep inside.
If they eventually do grow out, which would be earliest 20 years down,
I would look like an upside down Dracula. (there's no need to imagine).
One of her reasons of recommending me to pull off those 2 was : " Since you're already under GA".
We eventually decided not to, felt it was unnecessary.
Then she wanted to insert a needle into my veins to later on put me on drip.
the needle was about 2.5 inches long so she had to find a vein that was straight and that length.
She found one at the usual spots where they insert the drip, on my hand, right hand to be exact.
And so she inserted the needle. She then injected water to see if it did not go off course.
When the water was causing a bulge in my hand, it indicated that it was clearly not.
So the dentist had to maneuver the needle(while inside my hand), to set it back on course.
When it bulge again after injected water it was clear that it was not set right.
So the needle was removed and inserted into my left hand.
Guess what? (copy right reserved)
The same thing happened. And so we took the needle out.
Then she decided to give it a rest and take blood instead.
After that, it was third try to insert the needle. Thank God third time's a charm.
just that this time we ran out of place and it was inserted
in a way that I could not bend my left wrist, for an entire day.
I was later admitted to a ward and had to stay there till the next day.
There are more interesting happenings that I am too lazy to explain.
But when i woke up I was in excruciating pain. Why? Because a tube was inserted into my throat.
Praise God the recovery process only took about 10 days, and I could sing for 16:25.

Things I wanna eat.

2010-08-25T19:34:00.003+08:00

Recognize this, Yvonne?

Some may be due to the fact that my family is eating and I only watch.
Oh Please.. Some one...
I wanna recover now, I can't stand it anymore.

A Levels

2010-08-13T20:31:00.004+08:00

A Levels itself has been a miracle, and I give Praise to God.
How He has seen and guided me through it all.
How an entire, more grueling year of my life passed.
And now, it is all over, the results has arrived.

I thank,

The Family, for the continuous support throughout the year and allowing me to study.

Ms. Greenall, for being exceptionally patient with all of us
(honestly, if she just thought something and you weren't paying attention
and ask her the exact thing she just taught,
she'll smile and repeat it all again, trust me, it happened, MANY TIMES)

Ms. Chee, for being an extremely dedicated lecturer, teacher. (She would explain it over and over again if you don't understand)

Ms. Loh, for being one heck of a lecturer and making Mechanics so easy. I honestly understood every single thing that was taught. ( I still will not forgive myself for being such a letdown)

Mr. Loo, for having such passion and knowledge for Physics. I now appreciate all the times you won't even let us go 5 mins earlier. Or when you would ignore our desperate need for a coffee break.

Last but certainly not least, Mr. George! How can I (We) ever forget you.
You made Chemistry so interesting, so much fun, and so much of hell.
You made me do so much studying and preparation BEFORE entering the class.
You made me so stressful every time I'm in class, always on the edge of my sit,
knowing the name Anton would slip out of your mouth any second.
And for all, that, Thank You!
You believed in me even more than I could myself.
Whoever dare question you as a educator can first come to me!

To my church members, for all the prayers. I really was showered with so much prayer,and I believe that is one of the reasons for my results.

Most importantly, TO GOD, for without You I am nothing.
You deserve all glory. My journey was truly a miracle.
From starting 3 months behind everyone else,
(mind you, there was no extra chem class for April intake)
to being called to Ms. Sathya's room as I did not perform as expected,
informing her that I was seriously considering dropping Physics,
to Mr. Loo convincing my parents i shouldn't drop it,
to Ms. Sathya asking me to at least try for AS,
And finally an A.
While some may question& see it as a waste of time,
I never hesitated attending church, YF, PM on weekends and days,
because it brought joy and I know I am serving the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

My God is an awesome God.
He is a God is the possible and the impossible.
Take my case as an example.
how can messing up my favorite paper Mechanics end up with an A?
What about the pages in Chem that i left blank?
And so, He is Awesome and indescribable.

Given under other circumstances, I may do better, but I am incredibly grateful.

Be Still, and know that I am God.

2010-08-10T13:15:00.002+08:00

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

Kuantan

2010-07-26T19:36:00.016+08:00

Was away with the family to Kuantan last weekend.
We stayed in Hyatt, Kuantan.
I think it was the best hotel in that area already.
This trip was definitely different, because i could really relax.
Honestly, there's nothing else to do in Kuantan but to relax.
Hyatt's beach was awesome, mainly due to the fact
that i could just access it through an opening by the pool.
Unlike all my Penang/ PD trip where beaches also do surround me,
the food were all so tempting that I barely got to enjoy nature.
This time however, I fully utilized mother nature.
It was 3 days of sand, beach and pool.

Scroll down and envy..

View from the room

Sunset so notice the pictures getting darker.

Oh, btw, I saw Jimmy Choo in Pyramid the other day.
I don't have the original soft copy yet, so here's the edited copy my sis did.

I also managed to meet the Chong sisters, Vanessa and Pamela
from TARA 2. We've been a fan of theirs since day 1.

The other dog.

2010-07-23T16:59:00.004+08:00

When we came back from Penang last month,
we found a small puppy shivering in the rain and cold,
on the patch of grass right opposite our house.
Needless to say, no cold blooded human would have left the poor thing there to die.
Honestly, I believe it would have died if not. It was so small.
So, we cleaned her up and made our home a temporary shelter for her.
It was rare, it was a white chihuahua.
We were awaiting and expecting posters of a lost dog to be up.
We soon realized that this dog was not well taken care of,
the vet said that the dogs teeth were in very bad condition.
We also realized that this dog had no voice.
It was then clear that it belonged to a breeder,
No wonder they don't even realized it was missing.
And Oh, this puppy is actually a 4-5 year old dog.
We named her Cotton.
Cotton stayed with us for about 3 weeks.
We took good care of her but she didn't have the
luxury of roaming the house at anytime like my other dog.
Once my dad's colleague agreed to take cotton, we knew it was time to let her go.
She went to a much better home.
She now sleeps with them on their bed,
although she has her own brand new bed and clothes worth more than RM300.
So, here are the pictures of her.

Don't think she's that small?

How about now?

Where she sleeps at night.

How she sleeps at night.

The day she had to leave.

Sending her away.

Goodbye Cotton. We'll miss you.

A little something

As promised, from the last post of about a month ago,
the " little somethings" I got from Hard Rock Penang.
In 2008, while in the states, I started a hobby.
A good but expensive one. Aunt Anna bought me a land yard.
Then i started...
Pin collecting!

The first one I got was from Hard Rock, Hollywood.

Then I got this,

When we visited miami beach,

Dad brought back these,

How patriotic.

So, while visiting Hard Rock Hotel, Penang.
I got myself a couple more to add on to the collection.
It is really an expensive hobby, these cost RM45 each.

This piece is not a limited edition, but it was the last piece available.

This is a limited edition. Only 150 pieces in the world.

So, next time when you are out of ideas on what to get me...
Or when you go overseas and visit a Hard Rock Shop..
You know what to get me.
Hint to all Hard Rock Pin collectors, be sure to get
1. The ones that states Hotel over Cafe,
they are worth more inthe long run as there are to date only
13 Hard Rock Hotels in the world.
2. The ones that states limited addition at the back.

The yet completed Land yard. Feel free to add to it anytime.

If my memory serves me right...2

Slept at 1am that Friday night and woke up at 5.30am the next day
for SKYTREX.
Was told to be in Delicia's at 6.30am as she was in charge of the outing.
Background info:
* Skytrex outing was meant for Taylor's college A Level's Thinking skills class trip.
* Delicia was their class teacher/organizer
* 2 students were not able to make it at the last minute,
so Winson& I were blessed with the trip
* It was kinda awkward as we both were odd/aliens/old
* My name for that day was Jiaat and Winson's was Pei Kee/Peggy/Peck Kee? LOL

SO, the tired, lack of sleep us were on our way.
Thank God for the good weather although it seems a little shaky at first.
I took the extreme challenge while Winson and Delicia
opted for Big Thrill.( not like Winson had a choice, haha)
Had fun but I would prefer it to be more challenging.
Went for lunch after that.
Rain then poured down, IT REALLY POURED.
We had to cover a distance before reaching back to the car parked in front of Taylors.
Delicia and her student were partially drenched as they had an umbrella.
Winson and I were soaked from head to toe.
The best thing was, when I entered the car drenched,
with water dripping from my hair,
Delicia said: What Happened to you?
*Pengsan

Had class Reunion/party that night.
which ended up with car racing home.
* We pranked Justin with him speeding off and us just pretending to do so.
So, he ended up racing with ... HIMSELF. Lol, I wonder if he knew he was ditched.
* We toyed with David, giving him the illusion that he could overtake us, then speeding up to narrow in the gap when he was close.
*BTW, not my idea, I'm not that bad ok.

Woke up at 8 on Sat to try out the new Dim Sum place in Taipan.
Went for YF then replacement band practice.
Ended at 7.45 then rushed to Campfire Night 2010.

Here are some of my thoughts
* Opening act was good
*Acting was ok too, except the delayed reaction which cracked all of us up.
* Good job and 2 thumbs up to the committee and all who were involved.

Pictures taken that night

Went for Yc session after.
See, my peers and seniors decided to go to Old Town.
Although upon my request, Juniors decided not to join them, and headed for murni instead.
(Due to certain/unknown reasons)
The problem was, both parties wanted me to join them.
Solution? I went to Old Town till bout 1 then headed for Murni.

Old Town

The intense conversation.
Must have been about education with Pan Jia Yi

Then Murni

Lama tak jumpa edi.
No duck to tease la, so sad.
Ultimate pun belum lagi. Haiz.

Went for a jog in the morning today.
Not that satisfying though coz no stamina edi.
We went for breakfast after. Forgot to pay parking and Nick got saman.
He settled the bill of 4o then headed back to my house.
Thank God my sis left earlier and took the car so I tak kena.

If my memory serves me right...

2010-06-28T18:38:00.007+08:00

Updates are best done right away, unlike now.

Finally went to Louisiana 2 weeks ago on the 16th.
Went with a couple of awesome people.
It was kinda of a farewell for Phyo,
Birthday celebration for Esther

btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESTHER KWAN-20-06-2010

& just hanging out.

Pics are yet to be taken from Kay.
Then Sis and I went to take our Ex-Babysitter to and eye op.

The next day was suppose to be busy as I supposedly had 3 things on,
1. TTH's farewell with college mates.
2.Toys Story with church youth
3. Catan and monopoly deal session in Delicia's

These were running concurrently and I ended up going for...
NONE. Reasons not to be explained.

Friday the 18th was YFLT sleepover @Ed and Del's place( I think i go there too often, haha)
Had a great time learning, playing and playing.
The night started of with casual monopoly deal with Ashley and both Esther's and ended up with a free show of Eng Kok's belly at 3 in the morning.
Lets just say..
1. Eng Kok has a funny impersonation of a sheep
2. Esther Lim for ghost( which we continued to haunt her with)
3. Grace for envelope &
4. Delicia for the word underwater.

Group picture taken around 2 in the morning

The Saturday continued with QT together, makan, then CGODO, which ended up like..

other pics taken

Sunday till Wed was spent in Penang.

Thursday night was tiring.
Had dinner with the family at murni USJ 9,
then rushed to YC session with Sue Vern, Pik Kuan and Di Anne in Murni SS2
(I terlalu banyak petrol it seems)
Then it was futsal at 11pm with church friends, thanks to J- Anne's persistence.
By then I already had too much juice in me,
which could have resulted in a form of puke at
any time during the game, which thankfully didn't happen
*sry Delicia and the rest for missing the Thai cooking and tasting session the same night,
you know my favourite cuisine is Thai. I'm sure the food tasted awesome, even though you used 3 bulbs of onion instead of 3 cloves. HAHAHAH

Have a Rockin Night!

2010-06-24T13:01:00.003+08:00

Before I get there....

Just came back from a 3 day trip to Penang with the family.
I should update before I get lazy.

The road that my mom used to stay in..
Right beside .. Lorong Seratus Tahun.
Yes, where you get your famous curry mee..
It all originated from there.
And the commercialized one in taipan, one of the sons..
So, my mom grew up to this famous curry mee, And eventually so did I.

Anyway, I'll follow the order.

Day 1/Night1, 20/6/2010 (Sunday)

Arrived Penang Approx Before 6..
Had dinner with my uncle(Mom's bro) and family.
Seafood Restaurant somewhere.
It's been a long time since I ate..
Crabs, Scallops, fish, Deer, etc..
Didn't take any pictures as I was too busy eating.
Went back to their house to a little chit chat.

The parents..

The whole bunch.

Yes, I know I look like a stunted small kid.

The offsprings.. using Polaroid cam

The display outside Northam Beach Restaunrant, just opposite our hotel.
By now you should know that I DID NOT stay in Hard Rock Hotel.
Stayed in Northam instead.

Day 2, 21/6/2010(Monday)
See, when we reached day one, it was extremely hot, and you know penang la. lagi panas.
So, I prayed, God , please give us cooling weather, I don't want sun la.
So, He gave us this instead..

When was the last time you saw mists in Penang?
*note, this is not genting or camerons.
It rained the whole day. LOL.

I went with mom to Lorong Seratus Tahun to taste the childhood food.
The log was still sleeping and Dad had to work, so it was just us two.
Mom didn't quite like the rainy weather but I was kinda fine with it.
We then went back to pick the now awaken sister from the hotel
and then drove to pulau tikus to buy the famous kueh before heading to
Gurney Plaza as " it was raining and we couldn't go anywhere"..

Evening came and we headed to Lorong Selamat to taste the authentic Penang Food.
To my dismay, they didn't have "Sar Hor Fun"
We Ended up with..

O'Chien.. I was satisfied with just tasting the flour and egg
RM 8

"Yau Yu Ong Choy" RM 8

Chee Cheong Fun

And the reason why i put up all the prices,
this basic plate of char kuey teow, which wasn't even fantastic,
Cost Rm 6.50!
* Don't eat it Lorong Selamat

Food tasting.
Mind you, We had all these for tea at around 3 something
and by then.. I STILL DIDN'T GET TO EAT SAR HOR FUN.
Dinner was in Super tanker when i finally got..

you don't find this anywhere else..

We also bought " Ban Cheng Kueh", not like the typical KL ones,
but these had different feelings.

Mom's Choice,
Peanut + Banana

Sis's Choice,
Chocolate+ Banana

Of course, my choice,
Peanut Butter+ Butter+ Peanut+ Egg+ Cheese+Banana.

Aren't you hungry already?
* pics quality not that good, but still.

We then went to visit some of our relatives.
No pictures were taken, forgot la.

Day 3-22/6/2010(Tuesday)
Went to visit Mom's godmother..

We then went to prangin Mall to look
for cameras but ended up cutting our hair.
Well, i cut la, they just wash.
Hence, the new lalafied Penang Anton.

Dinner with cousins again then we headed for Batu Feringgi,
more specifically Hard Rock Hotel.
We went to check out the extremely expensive hotel.
Turns out, it was quite a disappointment, they didnt really renovate the previous hotel.
Here are some pictures of the highlights there.
Note: the one is US was much nicer.

wall of tiles

Spent more than RM 200 in the Rock Shop
while they greet us Have a rockin night as we leave,
Hence the post title.

Day 4- 23/6/2010(Wednesday)
Spotted

Went to Lorong Seratus Tahun again as Andrea insisted she wanted to go.
What's so nice bout their curry mee? The CHILI

After food.

Order their " Geng Geng"

the simple humble alley

Mom's Old House

I remember Running down these streets
like there's no tomorrow with Victor,
Only having his dad scold us, then we repeat, haha..

Enjoyed myself!

The End

2010-06-18T15:18:00.010+08:00

Then reality kicked in.

Apparently Shum wanted to box me?

I'm pretty sure this was intentional

A failure of mimicking Mr. George

Mr. G would be so proud

Exams?

2010-06-17T21:40:00.002+08:00

Yes. EXAMS are finally over.
It's been over for a week actually, was just too lazy to post anything here.
Exams were... weird.
This exams were filled with firsts..

1. Preparing so hard for some paper,
doing absolutely everything possible,
sitting for the paper, realised i can't do 1 question,
panicked, messed up the whole paper.

2. Being absolutely calm before some papers while having so little preparation.

3. Not having time to finish and leaving so many empty questions.

Having said all that, I'm entirely certain that God was with me every step of the way.
Had the opportunity to pray with different ones before we began our paper.
Also had the opportunity to pray for each other and encourage one another during exam period.
Had the opportunity to be blessed with so much prayer from different ones.

So, Results are coming out on August 12. I really don't think I did well.
And my results are extremely important for the future. So, i dread the coming date.
Regardless, I choose to trust in Him.

Btw, I feel sad that exams are over. Never have i felt like this for SPM, PMR, UPSR etc.
Reason? A levels was the one exam and program I really put effort in.
All suddenly realizing it's all over and we don't get a chance to redo and correct our mistakes.
That explains the tad bit of sadness.

2010-05-26T16:54:00.002+08:00

In the midst of the most grueling exam.
Really tired of studying.
So far, some were good, others not confident, and one really horrid.
Really dread this friday, as Math 3 & Physics 4 is knocking on the door.
If you haven't started praying for me, Now is The Time!

Exams are unpredictable.
I really didn't fair well in a few, especially mechanics.
I am not to trust in my own strength, but in God's.
After all, everything is in His hands.
Everything happens for a reason, this way God will get the ultimate glory.
The only way for me to score well is if He intervenes.
After all, He has done it before.
So if I do well, all glory goes to Him.

Thanks to all for your prayers, they are much appreciated.
Please continue to do so, because I really do believe in them.

Some people just don't use what God gave them.

KDU square sells " Yong Tou Fu".
Among the ingredients are the crab sticks.
Of course it has to be boiled before it is served.
Problem is , THEY BOIL IT WITH THE PLASTIC INTACT!
See how wise we use our most powerful tool?
Maybe if you took off the plastics, we'll get more A's?

DOHA

2010-03-14T23:38:00.006+08:00

I've been watching a lot of DOHA and All England games this weekend.
Yes, I know I have a test coming up soon.

First, DOHA.

Congratulations to Bryan Clay ( Olympic Champion)
and Trey Hardee (World Champion)
For emerging as Champion and Runner-Up (respectively)
in the Men's heptathlon.
It is quite clear that I am a US supporter.

One more, Lolo Jones, cool huh her name?

After almost being eliminated in the semi finals, she pulled through and not only was champion, but set a world record for the indoor championship for women's 60 m hurdles.
Again , an American.

To the one that got me on the edge of my seat,

Yelena Isinbayeva

This Olympic Champion almost didn't qualify!!!
She skipped the earlier heights and only decided to jump the last one.
Pole Vault btw.
She jumped the first, to everyone's surprise, knocked down the pole.
Second try, commentator said would definitely be an ease for the Champion.
She was wrong, She failed once again.
Then it hit her that she could repeat history and be cut at the qualifying round.
She held on to her coach's hands for a long time and was almost in tears.
Pulling herself together, she gave her last shot and Succeeded.
Everyone cheered.

Too lazy to blog bout All England edi.
Let's just hope and pray that Lee Chong Wei get's his fist title ok?

Google

2010-03-14T22:50:00.003+08:00

Google had gone all geeky with today's picture.

Observe the flood of Physics and Math?

2010-03-07T22:43:00.008+08:00

I've been busy studying, if you would believe.
Not that much, but a little more than I usually do.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy right?
Hence I have decided that all work are
off-limits on Sundays, just as the Sabbath.
However, the above is conditional as to whether
I finish all I am suppose to do on the days before.
This was my first try-out week, and I regret to say
that I have failed to accomplish what I set in mind.
However, there is a justified explanation for this.
IELTS took up my time and energy!
The much dreaded paper exam took
up my entire Saturday from 9 till 2.
Not to mention the week of studying
and preparing for this English Test (Yes, I did study for it)
It was a immediate journey to church then on Sat.
So when I got back, I ate , watch TV and slept from 8.30 till the next morning.
I am Awesome, I did live up to the expectations of my initials.

So, there was a bit of work done today, a Sunday.
Actually just finishing up my mechanics work.
I do think it deserves a shout out!
Why? Take a look.

I did 7 questions in just one sheet.
I am still in unbelief as I usually take up 1 page for just 1 question.
See, I contributed to saving the environment.

Speaking of Ielts, it went ok I guess, Thank God!
The practices were hell as I got Questions wrong,
not too few if I may add.
I think the actual exam went better,
I guess I'll really know when I receive my results.
The speaking part however, was filled with erms..
and errs.. and they were recorded.
What an irony it was that my questions were
describe a time when someone helped you,
how important are friends to you, spending time with friends etc..
I may have lied.

On a better note, Congratulations to Joseph and Lay Yan

on the Birth of their first daughter,

Helena Joy Ng Yann ( I hope it's spelled correctly)

Sorry I haven't visited till now,
I saw a picture of her though, an exact replica of Joseph!

Moving on, a couple of pics I had during CNY,
didn't take any myself so don't really have much.

CNY BBQ @ Shum's

YF CNY Dinner

Constipation

Lizard? LOL!!

CNY Dinner with the Chongs & Choongs @ Grand Imperial
*pictures are stolen

Easter is coming soon, do join us on the 3rd,
So is my trials, so please pray.
I won't be present here so often anymore, probably once a week.
Do you know that I have decided to sleep at 11 every night?

Happy Bday!

2010-02-20T23:32:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday Ong Chien Wen!

Enjoy your last year as a teen!

The Chinese New Year.

2010-02-15T20:18:00.003+08:00

Happy CNY to all.
It's the time we are are suppose to spend time with family and friends.
Makes you wonder, family we cannot choose,
we learn to live together, we learn to love and accept one another.
But friends, what are friends actually?
The people we meet and spend our time with, are they
Truly friends or merely acquaintances?
What are true friends?
How do we define them?
Do they even exist?
They say to have good friends, you first have to be a good friend.
So what does it say about you when you finally
come to realization that you do not have true friends?
I'm surely everyone wants at least one true friend,
But how many of us actually do have even one?
Some of us may not realize we have one,
Some may think we have some,
Some would make believe,
Some realize we have none.

New Year, New Gadget

2010-02-13T16:19:00.003+08:00

Ok, this is not exactly a gadget.

Introducing...

The ORBIX EMR Harmonizer!

What in the world is this?

Ok, it basically is a harmonizer which works by harmonizing
the harmful electromagnetic radiation.

How does it work?
* it re calibrates and neutralizes the harmful electromagnetic radiation
* it surrounds the hand phone/computer/laptop
with natural harmonic waves equivalent to 7.8Hz

You see, the earth's natural frequency is 7.8Hz.
So they manage to embed this frequency into this sticker,
hence surrounding your hp with safe, natural frequency,
instead of constantly having harmful radiation.

How do you use it?
* It is a sticker. use peel it off and stick it to the back of your hand phone.
* In case you might wanna change your phone later
and not wanna waste this, I recommend you don't peel and stick,
just remove the back cover of your phone and place the whole piece in.

this is how it looks like, sorry for the bad pic quality,
but if you look closely you can see the circle in the middle,
just peel it off and you get a small oval shape sticker to paste on.

Benefits?
*well, the testimonies i read were quite a number but
I'm only gonna tell you what difference it makes when i use it.
* I've tried it for about 2 months now,
and the major benefit that i got out of it was that
my headaches have been much reduced, honestly.
*I use to get really bad headaches, and very frequently,(ask around),
but nowadays I don't really get them anymore.
*I still do have headaches once a while, but compared to last time, much better!

This is mine on my phone, oh it's black and big coz it's the old one.

Btw, It only cost RM 15 each when you buy 2.
RM 20 when you buy one, so buy together la.

* You can get it from me if you want coz it's hard to find although it is in the market edi.
*Just leave your comment/order in the comment box, or just ask me when you see me la.

** This is not an advertisement where I get paid ok,
Unlike people who serve nuffnang and get money for publicizing, I don't

Farewell..

2010-02-12T23:47:00.003+08:00

I Kissed A Car

2010-01-28T23:07:00.004+08:00

God has been great yet again.
On Wednesday the 13th , 2 weeks ago, I was on the way back home from class.
Class ended at 6 hence the self explanatory traffic jam I experienced on the Federal Highway approaching Subang.

The traffic was slow moving, in fact it was hardly moving at all.
My leg , as usual would be stepping on the break, and slowing releasing it at times where I could move a little.
Then my phone rang, I wanted to answer it but didn't manage to.
It my my sister and I decided to send her a message in case there was anything urgent.
Typed the message and realized I was low on credit, so decided not to send.
I then decided to turn on something from the phone.
Just as I was about to do so, there was a thud, a shocked moment and then realization.
I hit into the car in front of me.
I subconsciously let go of the break, I think.
The best thing was, I hit into a Toyota Land Cruiser, A 4 wheel drive, it was only
a light touch/kiss, but because the car i hit was so solid that there was a loud thud.
I realized that the car only had 2 scratches, hence a sigh of relief(not really), thinking that my car had nothing wrong as well.
Boy was i wrong!
Despite the massive jam, we managed to pull both our cars over to settle the issue.
I took a look at my car, crap! I t was cracked, the whole front part above the bumper went down and in, and the bonnet could not close properly, hence the "door " light was on.

It was quite predictable as her car cost approximately RM 200,000 while mine only cost Rm 5, 000.

*I'm not sure whether this was the exact model, it was in silver though.*

I knew it was my fault, hence the only thing to do was apologize, exchange numbers and hope for the best.
The thing was, the lady was extremely nice, despite the fact that she was extremely rich, by the car and the mannerism. She even started talking to me about college and driving. She said there's a scratch, and I pointed out that I was aware that it had to be repainted, and she said :" My Car very expensive wan you know"

So anyway, long long story short, my dad went to settle it on Saturday, and God's favour was really upon me as:

*She invited them(my parents) to her house to drink tea etc.
*started talking to them and had no rush whatsoever to settle the car.
*said she told her mom in law that maybe they(she and my parents) could become friends even.
*invited all of us over for CNY
*took the car to the mechanic, the mechanic first tried to polish the car to reduce the scratch marks, but it was still a bit visible.
*she decided to not respray and said it was fine so I didn't have to pay a thing.

Praise God indeed, yet another miracle He can perform.
I however am upset that I can no longer say I'm accident free.

*Note that I AM a good driver and I never had an accident despite driving however fast, this accident was not determined by one's skills of driving, I was purely distracted.

And another miracle, my results.

My AS results was released on Monday

Bio- A
Chem- A
Physics- A
Math - A

Praise God, really really only by His grace that I could get this result, especially for physics when I drew the wrong graph.

No matter how many times I thank You, I can never thank You enough, but Thank You Jesus!
I now pray for a good breakdown that I do not have to repeat anything.

He never fails.

2010-01-25T19:29:00.001+08:00

I thank God for my results.
It truly was His hand.
Once again, He never fails.

God, I can only trust in You.

Jumping Fishes.

2010-01-21T19:23:00.003+08:00

The story begins when Dad brought back 2 fishes
in a plastic aquarium from an event on Friday night.

We transferred the fishes into a larger glass bowl that was meant for fishes.
We put in the sand and artificial plant.
We went out for dinner on Saturday, stopping by the fish store to get food and chlorine.
Upon returning home, we found that there was only 1 fish swimming in the bowl.
The other was found dead on the floor after committing suicide by jumping of the building.
We remembered to put less water.
Fed the remaining fish.

On Tuesday, it was discovered that fish no 2 has decided
to follow in the foot steps of the other fish in taking it's life in it's own hands.

The story ends with a maximum of 4 day survival in my house, an empty fish bowl and a bottle of very much untouched fish food.

When a certain some one goes overseas, in a country like Australia,
they usually come back with souvenirs, for instance a key chain of a koala/kangaroo.

When Shum comes back from Australia, He presents me with...

Well, it's a key chain, it has something to do with kangaroos, the only difference is..
it happens to be

ACTUAL KANGAROO BALLS!!!!

This beats all the souvenirs la..

Yes, I'm Bragging!

2010-01-01T17:29:00.009+08:00

What other way to start off my new year?
No other way than bragging about my God!
Yes, About HIM, not me.
I wanted to do this post yesterday, but since i got back at 3am today, it was already clocked in past 12.

So, instead of just ending a year with thanksgiving, I'll end and start a year with Thanksgiving,
a thanksgiving of God's goodness and favor throughout my life. I was encouraged my the testimonies on watch night, and was contemplating on whether to give one. I did not plan it, just that I was reminded in that day of God's goodness throughout this year! But, since there was no time, it's okay, as long as I am aware of the blessings from Him.

The story begins,
As a child, I was not that bright. I was not stupid either, just average.
I don't think much was expected of me, my parents were even considering of taking me off the Chinese school as they were afraid it was too much for me to handle.
All my life, it was always mentioned that my sister was bright, on how as a child she could do the jigsaw puzzle upside down, a story that as proud parents they never got bored of telling.
But the amazing thing as a child of God is, you don't need to be smart, you just need God.
It was only in standard 3 that I started picking up, started to excel more in my studies.

So by the favour of God.
UPSR 2003!

Can you spot me ? The fattest one right in the middle. LOL!

It was without a doubt God's favour. No doubt I did put in effort, (till this day i will not say that UPSR is easy, whereas PMR and SPM was), but a man can only do so much, and the rest is in God's hands.
I remember we had to squeeze through the crowd to find out our results pasted on the board.
I remember seeing all A's, checked again, true enough. Told my mom and she said:" Are you sure? Go check again and see." (See, told you not much expectations were put upon me)
It was since that day that they started expecting me to do well.
So I guess at a young age I realised the importance of relying on God.
I am really glad for that and I hope I never forget that!
Indeed all my life, HE HAS NEVER FAILED!

Of the many things that he has shown my favour and grace, I'll share a few.
The next is truly a testimony.

Heard of Oxford and Cambridge? here's the story.
In 2008(form 5), my mid year English essay piece gave an idea for my English teacher to enroll me into the annual Oxford and Cambridge of Malaysia Essay Writing Competition. I was definitely reluctant when I found out because I knew the chances of competing with 25 other schools from our country was zero. I told my teacher frankly not to choose me because I knew my own capability and I was sure that my English proficiency is no where near the rest of the students all around our country. She still insisted and signed me up along with 2 others.
Now, I was not trying to be modest and playing that old" I'm not that good" game with teacher.
My English is just about fine but if you wanna compare me with the whole country, let me just point out a few facts

* I DO NOT READ! at all, no books interest me.(so how do you improve if you don't read)
*My spelling is horrible( honestly, grammar is fine but spelling is just ...)
* I am considered the worst candidate if you wanna compare me with the other 2 candidates who reads a whole lot.
* It's OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE standard! ( This says it all )

Well, all three of us just went for fun, all said that we are just going for fun as we all stand no chance of winning. I think none of us prepared as none of the sample essays were passed to us( this was only discovered before we entered the hall which our dear counselor was so shocked when she found out all the essays she passed to teacher was not handed to us).

However, some time before the competition, I went for a camp that a Quote that " Nothing is impossible with God" stuck with me. It somehow was very real to me and made me meditate on just that scripture for a long time. Even the night before the competition, the verse was just residing in my mind over and over again.

Day of competition, we entered the hall, along with 74 other candidates from all around Malaysia.
We were given only 1 hour, to read, choose and write a 1000 words piece. Everyone rushed and managed to finish. There were 8 examiners/judges who marked the essays on the spot as we headed to the other hall to check out the public speaking competition. As for our essays, they were marked with order, eliminating pieces stages by stages, finally with Chief Judge Ms Margaret Hall choosing the top 3 followed by 3 consolation placing.

After the public speaking competition, they announced the champions for both events, and guess what?

I got 1st runner-up!
My counselor was way more excited than me as she jumped up and down with joy when they announced my name.
Of course I was extremely shocked and happy at the same time. ( My friends told me that my whole face was red and I was shaking in shock as I walked up the stage)

I only have God to give glory to. Why ? the reason why Pn. Wong was so happy for me was because no one from my school has ever gotten into the top 3 despite sending good candidates each year. The nearest we came was in 2006 where one got a consolation prize. Trust me, 2006 graduated were one of the best as they were simply excellent when it comes to English.
I don't think my family members even thought I stood a chance as I'm always the one with the worst English at home.( Yes, my sister always says her English is better than mine)

I even got RM400 form that one hour!
My God is simply awesome.

In the same year, I was nominated to receive the highest award granted to a student n high school. In my school it was known as " Anugerah Pelajar Wawasan" or more commonly known as tokoh murid in most schools. The surreality of god in this picture is because the nomination came from a very surprising source, my assistant principal. Throughout my 5 years in school, I did contribute a lot and served the school in many ways, but i think not many that she was aware of.
So I was extremely surprised when she asked if I was nominated and decided to nominate me, a clear sign that it was not my my own strength but on God's. So all nominees had to get a few things done for the application to be processed. I remember Pn. Chow( my cf teacher) told me and my friend that we shouldn't waste time doing these and should focus on studies because it was almost impossible to get chosen. She later apologized as she said that I was chosen. So..

I was to do a write up about myself for the program book after being chosen for the award.
A write up on my achievements in school and the posts I hold in school or how I have contribute to school. Basically it was a self edifying write up. Then we would pass it up to be edited, then printed. Each year, the write up usually ends with a personal quote that one believes in. For mine? It was without a doubt " Nothing is impossible with God". But i knew I had to be really bold to write that, as I was in a Kebangsaan school and that statement would probably be edited anyway. I finally decided to just leave it as it is instead of making it less obvious like using" nothing is impossible to those who believes" instead because it was what I truly believed.
You know what? they did not edit that part at all. So, it was, printed out and circulated on that day. another thing, on the day that I passed up the write out, I was inform that I was also chosen to receive another award " Pelajat Khidmat Cemerlang" which was given to about 15 students each year. It was like a sign from God that if I gave Him the glory , he'll continue to favour me.
I received 6 awards on that day( others for clubs like scouts, prefects, leo and ed bod), a reminder of God's hand in my life.

In 2009, God had indeed continued to favour and blessed me whether I realized it or not.
So, an answer to a very common question, "Why do I keep going to church and continue serving Him?" The answer is simple, How can I not? It's my joy and honour to do so and God has never failed me. SO how can I keep from Praising His name?

So, this is my story, you can only identify if you experience His goodness too. All you have to do is ask.

Unpaid work/attachment.

14-12-2009, week one, day one...

- Dad dropped me to LRT station in Asia Jaya. Bought ticket and took train to Masjid Jamek.
- It was jammed packed, chances of sitting was zero, chances of getting out of train was 50%, Thank God I stood at the right side.
- Arrived in clinic early, the earliest actually, waited till it was open.
-went up , had weird stares as many did not know who I was.
- Nurses were nice once they knew what was I there for, at first they were like :" computer ar?"
- Did dispensing( that means I pack the medicine for patients).
-Met Dr. Leow, Dr, Benerdine, Monica, Elizabeth, Karen, Miss Tan aka Amelia, Punitha, Angeline, Victoria, Margaret, Patricia.
- First assignment was dispensing.
- had to know where more than 100 different kinds of medicine was placed and where to find them .
- Had to match and packed the medicine according to the doctor's prescription, decide whether to circle b4 of after meals.
-Had Lunch alone in Mamak. Shop was quite big. Sat in a table that could fit 8 as it was under the fan.
-Ordered Koay Teow Goreng, added egg, added parpadam, Teh o ais limau.
-Suddenly came a couple, did not know why the shop so big they decided to sit at the same table as me, at the far end.
- the "girl" started talking, it sounded like a dude, but she looked like a girl, acted like one, but was built and sounded like a dude.
- then their friends came, there were 2 of them, so they sat beside them, 2 guys. so 4 spaces were taken up , and 1 by me. 3 left.
- then came in another couple, they wanted to sit beside me coz that's all the seats left in my table. this time i wanted to know if the girl was really a girl, and i think it was despite the heavy make up.
- they went and order food then came back and decided to sit in another table to avoid intrusion on me.
- then came in another 2 guys, decided to sit where i was and hence i was part of their group.
- some time during noon, receive a message from MR. George that read:
- level as dispenser: newbie but learning fast.

15-12-2009, week one, day two
- dad dropped me off at LRT station, went down to buy ticket, this happened
me:" Asia Jaya"
counter lady:" (without a word, points to table)
me: (wonders why she doesn't wanna sell me the ticket) " ASIA JAYA!! "
counter lady :" (without a word does the same action as before)
Me: (irritated and blur as i just woke up- was sleeping in the car) " ASIA JAYA!!! "
counter lady (points on the table again)" sini ASIA JAYA la , macam mana u nak beli ticket
me: ( almost fainted) :" alamak, sorry sorry , masjid jamek! ( quickly pays and walks off)

- in the train, again crowded, one stop b4 mine , this lady came in, she was vocal and was talking to a friend
-once my stop came, I said excuse my and Thank god many went down also if not i cannot come out edi.
-Then guess what I heard? the lady said: " How to excuse when no one is going down?"
