International Food & Beverages Event !!

Yooo..... how's everyone out there...I'm too busy in these few weeks as lots of stuffs to follow up. This is an event that only held once a year, i'm quite lucky to have involved myself in this cool and awesome event...Its all about food and beverages from different countries around the world. I have spend some money ($7 = RM21) for some foreign countries' food...not bad though...but its freaking expensive!! I have enclosed an URL below, feel free to have a look then..!! Cya later...!!


Pictures here !!

Australia style curry chicken?

Wah....red hot colour with kind of spicy look...is that curry chicken? hmm...i thought so before that...but this is not our version of M'sia curry chicken...It's one of the famous food in Korea, it is called "Tak Tori Tang". "Tak" means chicken whereas "Tang" means soup in Korean language. This is such a delicious food that i haven't tried before...when you drink the soup...you will taste a rich and thick soya flavoured soup, followed up with spicy taste then,somore its perfect if you serve this dish with hot bowl of rice and have this kinda food during winter time,it's like having food in heaven..Thx to my housemate, Julian who is the main contributor of this dish...I just have to spend $2(RM6) for this such wonderful dish...worth...!

Hope i can learn some other countries' good food here, currently, all my housemates are from different countries with different culture and background. Those include M'sia(me), Korea(Julian), Indo'sia(Pinto - Supra owner..hehe), Eva(East Timur...island near Indo'sia), Fiona(Scottland) and Emma(Sweden - research in Pharmacy studies..cool). Yeah...my house is like an united nations! Hehe....

A Good Friend of Mine.....

Yo...It's been 1 week since i posted my last blog...I have been so busy nowadays as a lot of things to catch up and to get used to it...Somehow, i managed to get myself some entertainment to cope up with the stress that keep pushing me everyday...haha! Playing soccer, hang out with friends, have meals in friend's house, dining together with my housemates and shopping for FOOD, these are all my so called "entertainment" haha....What to do, must spend some times on other things besides studying,if not, i will become paranoid...hehe! I knew that the air condition in Malaysia, especially KL areas is very terrible and reached danger level too...hope all of you are fine and "genki (energetic)" at all time...take care, mates...! Drink more water!!!

The picture that i attached here is just a picture of a section in an Australian newspaper! Not very special though but what I'm trying to focus in is the reporter's name above, Petrina Berry...can you guys see that? Petrina, this remind me of one of my good friends who is now in Penang, Malaysia. I knew her 2 years ago when i was taking my HSC(Pre-U) course in IICP, right, pet?This name is very unique and rare in M'sia, that's make her become a special person to me as well! I used to call her as 'Pet' coz it sounds like very close to me and i'm comfortable of calling her with this name....hehehe, hope you dun mind that. It's been a month since our last meet before i come over to Aust...and 1 week since our last chat in phone too...haha! She will be going to UK to persuit her studies soon...Hope all the best for you and must keep contact at all time ya....!

At last, just a simple phrase that means everything, "I miss you, pet"! I also miss my family, food and all my fellow 'gang' of friends that we used to hang out together...Yeahhh!! I can't wait to come back and visit all of you....including my favourite food...I'm Coming!

Special Guest of mine....!!!

Yoo.... this is my 3rd week here in Brisbane,Australia. Thx to leng sis and chang bro to drop by, leaving some comments here! Hope that there will be more of you giving me some ideas or messages!

2nd August :-

It's quite a normal day with lectures. My class already ended at 1pm due to no practical class. Except for Thursday, i will have my classes till 4pm everyday...gosh...! I got to know that my eldest bro's best friend, Eddy came to Brisbane from Perth for business trip yesterday. He called up me and we supposed to meet up on Monday, but due to some circumstances, we postponed it to tonite. Once i left the classroom, i grabbed my backpack, headed to the nearest convenient shop to get some groceries...hehe! Food, here i come! Just after half an hour, i reached at home and get some toasts & biscuits as my lunch...hmm!

At around 5pm, Eddy called me up saying that he confirmed that we could meet up at 8pm later tonite! He told me that every time when he reaches a new place, he will get the map and follow the direction to get to a destination. He said that there is no problem of finding my house location. All he needs is a car with adequate petrol and map! Haha...make sense anyway! Finally, he reached my place at around 8.10pm! When we meet each other, we immediately have a big "warm & welcome" hug! It's already 3 weeks that i didn't have this kind of "Home Sweet Home" feeling! It's really quite a long time since our last meet in Penang, Malaysia last X’mas. I quickly invited him to come in and have a look at my house. At the same time, I introduced all my housemates to him!! After a while, we began our journey to search for our dinner! We decided to have our dinner at China Town in Brisbane! We randomly picked up a restaurant and went into it without any hesitation as both of us were so hungry! We ordered 3 dishes and ‘kao tim’ them in 1 hour tome…hehe! He told me about his experiences in Australia since he already been here for 8 years…WOW! I really learned a lot from him. Just after finish our dinner, I directed him to my uni campus and ‘ronda-ronda’! About 15 minutes later, it was already 11.15pm! He dropped me at my house and went back straight to his hotel as he needs to work on the following day! Before leaving, we again, hugged and thanks to each other on the time spending together…Although is short, but I already very appreciated it!

5th Aug:-

My class started at 9am but i already woke up at 6.45am! It's still that cold...i'm feeling dizzy and sleepy still as i got back home at 1am, went to Gold Coast with friends yesterday...hehe! Bought a Hard Rock Cafe @Surfers Paradise Cap...It's been 10 years ago since my last visit there! Everything in my memory has changed...It's so nice there....but that's only my one day trip...very tiring and lack of time!

I promised to myself that i must not miss any classes although not enough of sleep...so i decided to wake up once i heard my alarm clock!! Eddy is going back to Perth today. He gave me a call yesterday night, asking me out before going back! Once finish my class at 1pm, i quickly gave him a call and he reached my house within 15 minutes...cool! We again, went to China Town and chose a Korean Restaurant for our lunch! He treated me both dinner and lunch coz he said he already working whereas i'm still new here,haha. I feel so paiseh(embarrased) bout this, but i really appreciated! He told me lots of experiences he had when he was a student few yrs ago,saying that I have to put more effort in adapting to both language(speaking accent) and the courses here! I remembered every single points he stated and keep them in mind as a guideline for a student like me! I have no regret at all, meeting up with him...although short time but really worthful...! I'm sure we will have chance to meet up again in the future! Cheers, mate!

Hmm...life in brisbane!!

Hi all of you,

It's my second Saturday in Aust, not to say i'm having homesick but i miss all my family, friends, food and tv programmes,haha! Today, i'm boring here as my housemates already went out to find their friends or get some stuffs. Actually, today is a good day for me to study but.....due to laziness, i chose to bring my pc over to campus to online, :-p! Bad? Yea, i admit it....

After 1 week of oversea lectures, it's quite hard for me to adapt it as sudden change of education system. I'm not those genius like my leng sis, good friends, that's why i have to work hard to keep up their learning progress! Jess told me that using mind maps will assist in studies, i think it's the time for me to change my learning attitude and way of studying! The uni's sign board also stating "Inspired Thinking" which mentioning the uni's main aim is to inspiring,guiding students to think and figure much on your own to make urself a good promised for your future! Hmmm.. i will try my best here and hope that will be the same to all of you...Cheers, buddy..!

**Due to request by leng sis, did you guys notice any pics of my housemate and i? One of my housemates is a Korean, his name is Julian. He will only stays here for 6 months coz the course he is taking which is English language, will ends in next January. He cooked lots of Korean dishes and taught me some Korean language as well..hehe! Just let me know if you guys still want any info!!**

There are some pictures updated in my photoalbum. Please have a look if free then...thx!! :)

New Pics here....

My 1st journal in Aust...! Hehe...

17/7/05

Today is a normal Sunday for everyone but sure it is a special one for me, because I’m going to Brisbane, Australia tonight! But, I’m still scratching my head from the moment I woke up, all because I haven’t get my luggage prepared! Normal luggage weight limit (luggage checking-in) for a traveler to Australia is 20kg. Students that going to study abroad in Australia will be granting additional weight of 10kg (30kg all together). My dad was helping me all the time to make sure that the luggage is within 30kg or 33kg. Hmm….Keep trying on moving things out and in again, but the weight is still 38kg. My dad reminded me to get the list checked again so that any unnecessary things have to be taken out from the luggage to lose the weight and save some spaces as well. In the end, we successfully to get 34kg left and it was around 5pm. If it is overweight, you have to pay for the luggage overweight fees and its around RM100+? It’s totally not worth at all.

Gosh, my flight is at 9pm and I have to check in 2 hours earlier as this is compulsory for all the students. Without hesitation, I rushed to take my bath and get my prepared clothes on. Within 10 minutes, all the family members were ready and waiting for me. Before leaving the house, I prayed to the god and my ancestors for blessing my new life in Australia and take good care of my family as well when I’m not with them. I also asked forgiveness for those troubles and mistakes that I have been made all the time. I was the last one who left the house, at the same time, I still managed to tell the house that I’ll be back one day…..although there is nobody there, funny huh? Haha!! This is the my own way of saying good bye to my lovely home! "Home Sweet Home"!!

After half an hour, we soon arrived at the Penang airport. My itinerary is Penang -> Singapore -> Brisbane by Singapore Airline as I need to reach there in the morning! After getting my luggage checked-in, the weight indicator was 35kg (Oh my god, it exceeds the limit, how arh?) It appeared in my mind for 2 minutes, I was praying so that my luggage can be through with no extra charges. Thanks god, the person in-charged didn’t say anything and got those luggage stickers stickled on them! Phew…..! Just a little while, my friend Paul & Stella called me and telling me that they have arrived. I met them once I hang up the phone. Then, Momo and Ah Pin called me up to apologized of not able to send me off as some reasons on it. Actually, a call or a message is more than enough even though you can’t make it. Most of my KL friends are now studying, that’s why they can't make themselves to be there at that time! I understand those, pals…really thank you all of you that wished me luck. I hope same things will go on all of you….!! After that, Bacon turned up and wished me all the best. That’s all, 3 of them came and sent me off…ooh man…it’s like….so silent but my heart was so warm, contributed by those wishes from messages and calls!

It’s so soon, the time was 8.45pm and I need to begin my step towards a whole new life. My dad just hugged me at once and told me to study at my most effort, take care myself as well. My mum also hugged me, told me to look after of myself there. But I think it should be alright for me because I studied in KL before and that’s out of my hometown. My eldest bro just shaked my hand and told me to keep this in mind, “Study hard, Play hard & Be careful”. Short phrases but meaningful. My second elder brother also shaked my hand, asking me to appreciate this chance of lifetime. This is a whole new path for me and it could be a major experience to shape a better man in the future with better behavior, well-trained, responsibility and full of wisdom. I will never forget what all of you had told me and definitely try everything to achieve them. After all these, I carried a backpack and a cabin-size luggage, walked alone towards the custom security checking. Once I have done all these, I looked backwards and waved my hand to my family and friends. When I got my head turned back, I can’t really believe that I finally make this happened. I already planned this 2 years ago just after my pre-u studies (HSC) in IICP. Everything is seriously all on my own, no more spoon-feeding from parents, friends around. I’m all alone but not in heart…I still feel the warmth from all of you! Thanks again. When I get into the plane, I showed my seats number to the air-stewardess and she showed me the way politely and accurately. After putting those luggage properly, I just think back all the things have been happened in these recent days, I have done lots of things, met lots of people. So, the journey begins……..!

^{These are the pictures taken during the departure day and some recent pictures...!!
Enjoy !! My recent pictures....}

A Meaningful Trip To KL !!! Nice~~

Yo pal....Here i come again. It's really a long long time ago since i posted my last bloggie. I always surf Jessie's blog(My Leng sis) only but I was so lazy to write something on it for myself as I was really living in hell for these few weeks. All about my Visa's things...now finally can be left aside.

Actually this trip was planned by me and LCS...but ends up by planning nothing. Few days b4 the trip, we just got to know the place we goin to stay ----> Berjaya TimeSquare Hotel. Yeah...~~Nice... 7 of us goin with only RM40 per nite for 3 days 2 nitez....Hehehe...secret secret...!!

It was so soon and the day has come, Friday (24/6) which is a day after my bday. 4 of us includes Ah Pin, Momo, SH and I taking the express bus to KL at 9.00 in the morning. My dad already woke up and sat in the living room to read newspapers. Before leaving the house, I greeted to my dad and told him that i will be on vacation, will be coming back on the next Monday. He suddenly told me that don't always go out of the house as sometimes it is not necessary to use up ur precious time and money. He gave lots of speeches and pieces of advice. Hey dad, I understand what you have told me and I will always remember them in my heart. Once getting on the bus, I was so sleepy as yesterday my frenz celebrated my bday for me. Thx to you,sis...!!

Gooong....the bus engine's noice was so irritating but I still continue with my sweet sweet dreams....We arrived at KL for just 3 and half an hour. Cheers, cool bus driver. Without hesitating, we grabbed our luggages and asked the driver to drop us down and walked directly to TimeSquare to avoid the "frustrating" traffic jam in the town...hehe...! *P/S srry for KL ppl...! Once we checked into the hotel, we immediately rush to our room.When we opened the door, it was like another piece of heaven land just right in front of our eyes…Yeah… I will attach some pics of the room…Enjoy. At around 5pm, LCS from Inti Nilai, Ah Wei from MMU Malacca and Ah Goo from MMU Cyber came to meet up with us at the hotel. Finally, the "Seven Dwarfs" have rejoined. Hehe...

We went to Sungai Wang, TimeSquare, KLCC and Low Yat Plaza. Hehehe...Low Yat Plaza is really a wonderful land for guys...wahahaha...but it will turn out to be a hell if lack of $$$....hahahaa....do u guys agree? We can get some cheap stuffs at Sg. Wang as well as spotting leng gals and chai...wahahaha...! On Friday night, I left my gang to join my previous UCSI frens to celebrate both Fan Bro's and my birthday...I will include those links at the bottom of this bloggie...I have bought a T-shirt, a beanie(Snowcap) and some computers accessories...Broke d...Gosh....

Soon, Sunday has come, it signaled the end of this trip, each of us were on their way back to the place where they came from, while i decided to stay overnight in Cheras at Kit's place...Hehe...Early next morning, with the aid of David, I managed to get on the bus, back to Penang....Thx ya...! This is really a good trip especially went with all these primary schoolmates, really lied deep in my heart and i will always waiting for the next time to come....!! Yeahhh....


KL Trip With My Buddies....
Birthday Pics With UCSI Frenz...

A Walk To Remember....

Yo...It's been a long time since I posted my last bloggie...Here I come again...As usual for every Sunday, i have been awaken up by mum at 6.15am to jog with my dad.My mind was still in my wonderful dreams(but dun remember wht was it) and feel like wanted to continue with my sweet sleep. After wondering for around 2 minutes, i decided to wake up and walked into the washroom to get my teeth brushed and face washed. After putting up my clothes, i quickly rushed down and get my water bottle & music player. Exactly at 6.30am, my dad's fren - Uncle Teh arrived at my house. Haha..When everything is ok, we headed to our destination - Mengkuang Dam in Bukit Mertajam.

About 20 minutes, a big and wide field was juz right in front of my eyes...As we got down from the car, the sky is still dark but the air is absolutely fresh and cold. It's a good place to relax our mind especially for those workers that have to work from Mon till Sat...I met some of my highschool's friends during the jog. Hehe...when you run with ur musics on, you can hardly feel tiring as the rythm of the musics make your body continue to move and sometimes will get even "High" i should say? ":-| Hmm...around 9.30am...we got back on our car and go for my favourite activity - EAT for our breakfast. We had some roasted breads and Kopi O' ....

Before going back to our house, my dad and uncle Teh spotted a road sign pointing the way to Junjung...haha...This is a well-known place for all the local durian lovers. Of course, 3 of us are also durian lovers. Without any hesitation, we straight headed to that old town of Junjung. When we arrived at the market, lots and lots of durian stalls are set up by the local durian vendors by the roadside. We approached the chinese stalls for the durians. Uncle Teh and my dad quickly asked the vendor opened some durians for us to try out. Haha...here's the ultimate 'user review' from durian journalists(hahaha)....The meats contain high concentration of the sweetness with some alcoholic smell...this is the speciality of those hill durians (hutan durian). It somehow can compete with those branded durians like Red Prawn(in cantonese called Hong Har), D24, D2 and some others. Another advantage of buying this kinds of durians is they are so...CHEAP! We bought around 30 quantities of it and juz costed us for RM40...Wahaha...Although 1 durian only contains not more than 4 of them...aahhaa...but is absolutely fantastic...!!

After arriving at home, straight went to take a comfortable shower and took a lil nap...hehe...Nice morning walk with extraordinary durians...wahaha!!

At least a day with something to do..!!

Hey all....its almost 2 weeks since i posted the last blog...hehe...kinda lazy and my mind is goin to be retarded as i didn't do much things in these 2 weeks time...From yesterday on, i told myself to wake up from..."Malaysian Dream" haha...must do something meaningful so that my life will be better!

I juz back from exercise...guess wht exercise...soccer? NOp...its golf...I started to practise in playing golf after stopping for almost 2 yrs..!! I felt like its another good sport other than those sports that i usually do....Must always remind myself always practise some sports if u wnt to learn it and handle it better....as "Practices Make Perfect"!! At night, i will have to reread all the subjects that i have undertaken for 1 yr in UCSI...if not...really goin to be a bad boy!! Anyway...i will keep continue to post up some other bloggies soon....waiting for my growth report about my lil chick....hehe...!! Stay tune...

This whole afternoon, i was at home, helping with house stuffs and did nothing. Hehe...lazy...I decided to have a small interview with this kinda bro and unveiled him to all of us. He is still quite weak yet as i have prepared some water and food for his supply. Cheer up, dude...You can do it...truly welcome you to join our family..haha...!

What a bad yet happy party Nitezzz !! Let's get it started...

Yooo....i juz woke up today and i wont be so late usually...of coz there was something biggg happened yesterday nite! My best fren that i know since in primary school, ah pin came back from US yesterday morning. All of us decided to celebrate his home coming back in disco pub...hehe...That's the famous "Chill Out" in Gurney, Penang.

I was late to go there as i had a family dinner until 9.45pm. I drove my favou car, fetching 2 of my friends(ah goo and ah loong) and rushed to the destination. When we arrived,it was already 11.15pm and lots of ppl gathered infront of the entrance. My fren quickly headed to the counter and paid for 3 of us...I got 2 bottle of Carls' for RM35 (cover charge)....hehehe....It was very crowded in there and we managed to find our gang...A lots of fren that unexpected and havent met for a long time were all in there...So happy and greeted each other...With the music on...my body started to move automatically and i drank the 1st half bottle of beer in one shot...hehe!!!

My frens opened several bottles of Chivas..(shuuu...that hardcore liquor...advisable not to take too much) and of coz...it costs them more than RM700...Oh my god. I danced with my frens together with liquor on my hand...haha..kinda nice but...not a good thing to practice too often i should say!!! Around 1.00am, i got a fren...really get drunk and cant even stand straight, easily to fall asleep. 2 of my frens which were ah loong and ah shin...together took him out of the place and let him get some rest!! But....ah loong found that his precious Swatch watch was missing on the way out from the pub...it costs him RM500...ohhh man... ;-( He was so carelessly, without any awareness...Pity for him, my fren! Then...its the main character's problem...its ah pin's turn to get drunk...His gf quickly get him out of the pub to get some fresh air n rest as well...with the aid of 2 of my frens...(ah chuan and ah goo)!! 2 of them lied on the floor together and vomitted...

I was there, together with my frens to accompany these 2 "drunken masters" haha...but i also felt uncomfortable and vomitted near the plants...Pity the plants and srry for them..mayb becoz of drinking too much of pure shots of chivas with ais...haha. I felt better after that and gained back my conscious...Its around 2.00am, all my frens were ready to go back and of coz...let the 2 "drunken master" to rest earlier...It was bad when i heard that Penang Bridge was having a road block...and i drank quite lots...so i was told to stay for a while! Mayb God blessed me for this time, it rained quite heavily and got a call from frens saying that Penang Bridge was clear. So i quickly asked my frens and we were on the way back home....

After dropping down 2 of my frens safely at their home, i kept telling myself...bear for a while and drive slowly and carefully! After parking my car, i straight headed to toilet as i felt uncomfortable again....Guess wht...I vomitted for second time! Hahaa...after cleaning everything...then i jumped onto my bed and had a sweeetttt dreams....until this morning 9.00am!!! Woohooo....wht a terrible yet quite enjoying nite...That's my another 'GOOD' memory for me..Haha....
