Unlucky ? or perhaps my lucky day. .

Just in mere 2 day, 3 things happened on my car..

Perodua Myvi.

Case one, both of my window wiper get stolen. Maybe because I had parked my car quite far from my house. I didn't realize it until the rain fall. When I swipe the wiper,

shit.. only two stick were wiping around without the wiper. I had drove through the rain from Uni to my rented house at ss2. Extremely careful.

Case two, On the very same day. Happened at night, when I decided to go back Kepong, just when I reversed my car, I heard

'krooooooookkkkk' . . . . . . . . .

=.="

Hell yeah, a wall scratched my car. The scar is so visible and significant. Lol, my beautiful myvi which had protected well all along, is finally screwed in the hand of mine.

Case three, happened on the next day. On the way return from Sunway Pyramid after had my dinner with Xiaxang gang..

My car is starve to death !

Apparently I forget to feed my car. The oil indicator had dropped to the last gauge since 2 day ago, and I am still driving happily from

PJ - Uni - PJ - Kepong - Pj - Uni - Sunway - and final destination

Ldp highway ... when on the way back to Kepong.

Just 600m from toll, I felt that my car was losing its 'umph..' just like when hiking a hill with full load. Then jou choke har choke har...

and finally the engine failed.

Haiz, I direct my slowing down car to the left lane and activate the 'double signal'.

My car, is starve to death... certified -.-"

The engine died on me.. I can't even start it.

I called my parents and wait them to come.

Cars were pass-by my car with great speed. A lot flashed their light and some even hon. Before my parents came.. A police stopped by and ask me to move my car to safe site. Eventually I have disrupt the left lane, and it is gravely dangerous, when it happened on highway..

But, the nearest safe site is near the toll.

Which is 600 M away !

The police and I were pushing the car. I was exhausted like shit. Right after I saw the toll which is 100m away, my parents finally came.

They bought some fuel and feed my car. Thanks to the police which helped me out. My arms was so tired until can't drive anymore. I let my mom drive instead.



So... what do you think? I was damn unlucky right ?

But, after a deep thought... I think I am very lucky indeed.

Case 1: How if my car was stolen instead of my wiper? Lucky I only lost a pair of wiper. Gracious

Case 2: My deep confident in driving has cause me to drive quite recklessly. This little scratch had remind me to be extra caution. A little scratch is nothing compare to a 'big bang' on road. Gracious

Case 3: I have a bad habit in feeding my car before it get really empty. Now I already learn my lesson d.. sked jor. Last time, I always joke with friend about pushing car when I saw their oil indicator is low. Now that I have physically experienced it.. pushing my heavy myvi
KAO KAO. What can I say more... lol, rajin sikit la, feed your car often ! How lucky I was, because my parents were just finish their dinner function at 1 Utama and were on their way back.


Gracious for everything that happened on you, it might not as bad as it seem. :)

Glad that I see morning

Are you sure you gonna wake up tomorrow morning ?


Often, we are so sure that we are young and have a countless day ahead. So, we have waste our days and nights. Pushing our works and promises to other day.

So, we end our day doing nothing and head to our bed just like every other nights.

Are you sure you are gonna wake up tomorrow ?

This might be our last night, and tomorrow we will be cold and stiff like woods.

Have you say sorry to your parents before sleep? Have you confess your feeling to the one you love?

Be able to wake up every morning is a gift, because we are still given a chance to forgive the one that hurt you, to seek apology to the one you hurt, and to repay your debt to your parents.

Life is like a broken tape. It keep replaying without us knowing that we are actually doing the same thing each time, if you are believe in reborn cycle. From small, we learn how to socialize, and then working hard to accomplish our vision. As we successfully built our empire, be it millionaire or billionaire, we will eventually become old and then die. Leaving our treasures and knowledge behind.

We undergo reborn and the cycle restart, just like a broken tape. Begin our life as white paper.
Human are self-fish in nature. We fight for our right and we try to become stronger than other so that we could excel and successful. In business, we do not mind to suppress our competitor, even by causing them to bankrupt. But in the end, we could not take along all of this to our grave.

Food for thought.. if we are really undergo countless of reborn cycle, doesn't mean that we have doing useless thing all the while ?


Should we stop to think for ourselves, and start contributing to society ? hmm . .

Photostop 4 Fun ep1

Photoshop is great ! It is so great that it could change the look of everything in this world. . .

Visually haha. Well, I am still a newbie in this software, but just knowing a few basic function of this awesome ps3 extended, you could make a great change... lolx

As always, quinn is my all time favorite mascot ! haha


Quinidus The Spartan !

What Kind of Giver r U ?

Ever tried before to GIVE, but never ask for return ?

For what I think, most of people in this world are expecting a return for what they give.

In fact, giving can be in many forms :

Help people out, especially girls in order to win their attention and impression. There it go, we are asking for return in form of their attention and impression. Well, I think most of the guys are like this right?


Even when we are giving out donation to nearby temples or to help out some unfortunate people, indeed in our heart, we are hoping that god will notice and bless us for our good deed. There it go, we are asking for return..

Are there any true giver in this world ?

Often, we came to disappointment. When what we give, do not return as we wished.

Try to think from your point of view... actually, did you ever give something and hope no return?


Anyway, is there a need to become a true giver ? Is there ?

IF

One could become a true giver, then he will never be disappointed by anything. Disappointment is came with expectation. To expect nothing, nothing can disappoint you.

However, if we really could do this . . then I guess we had 9 dots on our bald head already. Haha
But,

Is it wrong to wish for return ?

Of course it don't . . just that we will never win against the 'sensation' of disappointment.

2010

Happy New Year 2010 !

How am I going to plan my year ahead ?

I have been peacefully walking along a long road till I bumped into a diverged road.

One road lead to my usual 'me'

and another lead to some where 'I don know' .

Before holiday came to and end, I have decided to join an event called MIB. An big event which required commitment. The usual me, will love to take up such an event to sharpen up my organizing skill by which it is not my first time to take up as event organizer.

Well, uni life without something else to keep you busy other than study is not fun at all. NO LIFE.

Haih, as a matter of fact, I did not planned to join this event from the very beginning. I am kinda reserved my time and commitment for the upcoming Uni's election after holiday.

But, holiday is almost come to an end, yet no information is reaching my ear. So, without hesitation I have took up the offer of upholding the responsibility of 'tai-xia-chong-zian' (should be person-in-charge below stage). Quite an important post I have, and I am happy with the challenges await me.

Hmmm, Just today... the very begining of 2010. I have been noticed that I am still valid to be nominated as MPMUM's candidate. But heck . . .

As I knew that I have been sticking both of my legs into MIB.

I have been wondered, could I take part in both of this route? Each of this event, will deal a great experience in my life.

But being the rational me, as I am already senior in this University.. I shall knew that it is hard to balance within study and activities.

2 Mega projects = study neglected

1 project + 1 study = another project neglected

study + 0 project = NO LIFE !

You see my dificulty? I have been neglecting my study all the while and realize that I can't play with my study anymore. So, there is no way I will take up two project .

Which one shall I let go?

MIB that filled with 'ren ching wei' ?

@

MPMUM that make me feels the political world?

I would rather see the MIB as a clear, clean and visible road which 90% of people will choose. I saw how it would end and it is a good ending.

For another route. It is dark, messy and filled with horror. The path is covered by storms and mist. The end is unpredictable. (Uni politic is dirty...shhhh don tell anyone)

But, my curiousity, wanna know what is awaiting me at the end of the 'untaken route'. However, as I have become matured (2nd years.. ahem), it make me feel like playing safe.

So . . . . I guess, I will take the ________ road

*Still considering.. though my decision is quite obvious*

Food For Thought

Friends said that I have many funny theory...

=.=" Well, but I think it make sense sometime.

Ok, some of the 'theory' I said, is mean for fun and some are make sense.

I just return from a very meaningful camp which make me think about 'ren shen dao li'
It is an camp under buddist society. So, I do pay attention to the seniors and masters when they were sharing their thoughts and experiences with us.

From there I learn alot of the 'the ways of life'.

Ok, I will touch abit about Buddist which will bored some of you.. but I hope I could share out my understanding about this religion with all.

There is a time, a christian's believer came to an elder monk and ask him.
"What is Buddist believe in" ?

That elder said:
"Buddist belief in nothing".

The christian's believer was confused and demanded an explaination.

The elder said:
"We buddist do not believe in what we heard, but what we learn and experienced it according to Buddha teaching. Buddha never told us to believe in what he said. But to listen, learn and experience it yourself, hence believe in what you gain from it."

So buddist is believe in nothing but from where they learn by themselves through experiences and understanding.

Buddha is the Enlighten One . He is not a god nor the ruler of universe. He is just a great teacher which had understand everything in this world. In short, he is enlightened. He had spend 45 years of his life to guide the peoples around the world to reach the enlightment. And upon his death at 80, he wish no people to over obsessed with his dead (making grand funeral etc), because when he die, the body is nothing but a worn out corpe.

People ask, where did Buddha went when he dead? Nirvana?

Where is it? Heaven?

An old monk replied.. Buddha din went to anyway..
He had understand everything in this world and reached enlightened. He had no need to reborn. Nirvana is a state of mind. But people do not satisfied with the answer and wish to see something concrete like heaven or hell. So, people use to believe nirvana is a place and Buddha had went there after his final rebirth.

Whatever it is, this is not the point buddism is concern about. You do not need to know where Buddha came from and what he is doing right now. Just like, you do not need to know who create electricity. We only need to know how to fully utilized the electricity.

Frankly, I do not understand much about buddism too. In fact I only understand a little. By reading books, few philosophy of life attract my attention. I think it is very true indeed.

I have tried to explained some, but I stuck in middle. Must admit that my understand is still shallow and not suitable to share publicly.

Well, I will list down some philosophy without explaination. It is up to you to understand it by your own. Like Buddha said, do not believe in what I said, but to try it, and understand from what you gained.

Expect nothing , and nothing can dissappoint you


Return evil with Love. It is hard, but at least do not return evil with evil.


No one is blameless in this World.

No one can take away your sin. Only by doing good deeds, it could repent your bad Karma.

Property remain when we die, Friends and family follow us up to our grave, but only bad actions and good actions (Karma) will be follow us beyond that.

Well, that all I can remember from my understanding. It is really a food of thought especially the first theory. I like it very much. In fact I use a lot of times to understand it. It is true that dissappointment is a consequences of our expectation.

Ok la, I will stop this religious talking now. Not everyone like it though. Hahaha. But seriously, Buddism is a very nice religion. It give a lot space of thought.

Penang the Food Paradise

Hey folks, how cha doing ye? Holiday is coming to an end and soon enough we will see each other once more yo.

As title above, this post is about my previous trip to Penang ! Finally I managed to stick my big ass long enough in front of laptop to finish this post. *phew*

As a matter of fact, I went to Penang before my Langkawi trip. Since Penang had soooo much things to write about, I lazy to write it... which is similar to Shin Yeen case. lolx

Anyway, this will be another of my long-winded post with alot of photos. Which might be a good news to some people that bored to dead in their home. At least they got something to occupied them for quite a while.. haha.

I will try to make it sweet and simple as possible. *Aw, shin yeen hate sweet stuffs hor? too bad*

PENANG

If I am not mistaken, we went to penang starting from 24 till 28 th of November. I am driving this time with my mom's MyVi. Tagging along Junyen, Leeyin, and quinn.

It is really fun to experience long distance drive for first time. Running straight highway for hours is quite tiring though. Kenny suggested that we stopped at Bidor to try the local famous

"Duck noodle" .




Seriously, this is not as good as it sound, and it is costly ! rm6.40. Well, don't bother to stop by bidor for this "legend" if you are not starve to death. Just not worth it to purposely pay extra toll to eat this... XD

Apparently, we went to penang to visit our foster family. So, we arrived at Gertak Sanggul in not more than 4 hours of drive.

So, here we are. Staying with our dearest foster family for 3 days and 2 nights. Spending valuable days with them. Kids there is very welcoming too.

don't you think we 'boys' is naturally talented in jumping ?
kelefeh beside quinn had a real hard time.. lmao

Well, nothing much activities had been held since the purpose we came here is to spend time with our family. We played basketball, jungle trekking and celebrating one of our friend birthday too. A surprise one..

The birthday boy

The cakes with extra chocolates, carefully chose by See yee
for some evil purposes

Pity. But Nice XD

Well, we still ate that cake despite that it had been... ermm. haha It is bad to show wastage habit in village k.

On the third day. Which is the day we went out from the village and start our food hunting adventure. I am freaking sick ! (=__+") All because of my greedy appepite. By the time we went to Queens Bay mall, I already knew that my day is going to be wasted. What upset me the most is.. that night, everyone will going to Auto City to eat TAO ! (T___T")

At first, I 'sei ding' . mati mati also wan follow. But when I arrived at my friend house which we will be staying there for few nights. I already can't endure the sickness (headache, bone ache, stomach-bloat + thunderstorm) and when I see a bed, I am pretty sure I am going nowhere, but the bed. Frederick too, is not feeling well, so both of us decide to take a rest and leaving the others to tear TAO apart..

I ate 5 panadols that day. lolx


The next morning, I am very healthy ! and crave for more good foods. Hating myself for being sick and give-up the TAO yesterday, I swear I will eat till the kingdom come from now on. lolx

For our breakfast, we went to nearby restaurant at Butterworth which famous for its

Kueteaw soup

This is really good

Next we went to Georgetown to try out the famous

Cendol

People are crowding that place ! Lining up to grab their turn

This Apek, shud be the boss. He scolded his worker like maniac

For my opinion, this cendol is nice. The ice is soft and it melt when enter your mouth. But it is not that great though. Can't understand why people are insanely crowding his stalls for this so called greatest cendol in Penang ? haha but it is good anyway.

Well, after cooling our throat with cendol, we searched for a shop which is highly recommended by JunYen.. selling

Coconut Tart




The tart is good, I tapao 10 of this delicated tart myself. Must try ya.. haha Hochack !

Well, what is the point going to penang without trying its Fried Kueteaw? haha. We went to a kopitiam beside the famous cendol stall to try out.

Fried Kueteaw
This keuteaw, as you can see, is so small in portion. And it cost us a freaking rm4.40 per plate. WTF right ? In penang, a noodle cost more than rm3 is consider expensive, and this even beyond the border. Anyway, if the food is worth the price, is ok.

But, maybe because of my high expectation, I thought penang keuteaw will be far supreme than KL. BS, this noodle I ate is just the same as Kl.. just that the prawn is big and bouncy.

We move on to the next street which according to Junyen, they sell good
Choo Cheung Fan

haha, I forget what is this place called, it is an old kopitiam. Well, the CCF is tasty.

By the time we done with Georgetown, we head to Air Hitam to taste few local delights. Since Kek Lok Si is located in Air Hitam, of course we are going there too.

My god, we are born for this... lol

Ok la, enough of temple.. let continue our food hunt adventure.. Despite that we had ate so much at Georgetown, we still crave for more !

We saw a stall selling Asam Laksa which is SOOOO obvious with his contrasting signboard. You will never miss that stall. It is so freaking obvious... haha

Asam Laksa


I seldom eat Asam Laksa, and I never found a good laksa in PJ. It is either too sour, or too spicy. But I have to admit that this 'tissue laksa' is awesome.

Straight after we done with this laksa, we seek for 'cha kui ka' in Air Hitam too . Which in Kl we called it 'lobakgou'. In SS2 pasar malam, you will see people lining up to buy this.

'cha kui ka'

After you eat this, you will never go to SS2 pasar malam. This makes other 'lobakgou' taste like porridge. Serious.. but this taukeh is very very lazy. He work when he is in mood. Or when he lose all his money in gambling. Haha. So, my friend said that, if the taukeh is opening his stall tonight, you are sipek lucky la.. 'Gotta get get'

Not done with this, we went to local food stores which sell 'ho chien' / fried oyster which its oyster is bigger than 2ocent ! If you ever ate ho chien at SS2, you will know what is BIG oyster after you taste it in Penang.
FRIED OYSTER / HO CHIEN

Wow, do you notice that we had ate alot ? and hell ya, we ate all of this in one day. The night is still young. So we went to Sunway carnival at Butterworth to watch movie !

Not bad la this movie. But it is very violent with limbs and heads flying around. Lot of bloods. At first we thought wanna go for supper. Butterworth best Tomyam !

But, it closed. Sad, we called it a day and back to house.

Next morning. By right, we should heading back to Kl already. But we decide to stay for another night because we ain't eat enough yet. Haha.

Having Dim sum for breakfast.. my god, the dimsum is freaking cheap ! rm2 per plate ? walan.

Dim Sum

Found empty table ?

Vollaaa this is just first round .. hehe

We headed to nearby temple. This temple is best at its architecture and design.

It is indeed a very hot day. But inside the temple we feel chill and calm. Next we went to a road side stall to wet our throat with famous

Air Mata Kucing


Using metal spoon and bowl, it makes the drink double the chill. From our hand it chill till our stomach.. yummy.

Eye blink blink.. is time for lunch ! So fast...

We head to Kedah. What ? Kedah?
Yea, Kedah, just the border haha.. to taste its famous duck rice recommended by teng haw.

Duck Rice


Duck and porridge. Good combination which could wash away the oily feel in your mouth. By the way, the duck is very nice. Just that the skin is not that crunchy.

And we headed back to house to take a nap.. before dinner. haha

What for dinner?

Seafood At Seaside

Having dinner while witnessing the end of light (sunset) is so 'got feel' . We are dining at seaside of Butterworth and we could view the Penang island across the sea. Well, the foods are.. erm
dissappointing... but, the environment save the day !

Next we went to AutoCity to have a walk.

and before hitting mid night... we went to supper. And at last, The legendary tomyam is on business ! yooohoooo.

TomYam Mee ( google earth Tom Yam cha Kueteaw XD)

Stacks of orders.. that mean line up la, boey tan jou mai jiak

We have wait for freaking one hour ++ for our tom yam mee.. But it is worth it ! totally worth it.. For a tomyam lover like me, my expectation is high.. and this tomyam is live up to its reputation. Goood ar ! Seriously dude, I miss this the most when I back to KL.

And our final night end ! (^^).

Ok, we not planning to extend our stay.. but before we leaving, we had our last breakfast at Penang.

Yam Rice




Finally, going back to Kl.. but jam terribly at highway. Driving for 5.5 hours to reach KL. And that all for my Penang trip. Worth it !

Special thanks to Teng Haw for your care and everything.. (I know u will read my blog^^)

Thanks to Zi Cong and Haw Wooi for accompany us and killing us with laughter and funs..

I had a great time at Penang and I love it . \(^0^)/
