My First Karaoke Trip!

Hehehehe.. Hahahaha.. Sobs Sobs...Waaaaa

My very first trip to the Karaoke!!!!!


This trip had an unusual mixture of fun, happiness, disappointment ,unluckiness and Oh My Goodness!!! ...all packed into 1 trip.



Okokokok, let’s start from the very beginning, shall we? It was a Friday (13 December). My friends (Emily, Gerald, New Wei Jie, Mun Sun) and I decided to go to the karaoke at a place called Jetty.

Yes, we all perfectly knew that Emily, New and I had to sit for our English test the very next day. But as usual, we couldn’t be bothered. C’mon, how is one supposed to improve their English overnight? It’s ludicrous. So as usual, studying and revising was the last thing we had in mind (shhhhhhhh, plz dun tell my mum and dad guys =P)



“WHAT????

GOING TO KARAOKE WHEN YOUR TEST IS TOMORROW AH???

U WAN DIE AH???

I can seriously imagine my mum banging my eardrums with these sentences.





So anyway, we planned to go at 5.30 since Gerald had classes until 5pm. He’s a very kuai kuai guy wan, will never ponteng class wan *cough cough cough* Nevertheless, we had booked a blue Kancil car due from 12pm to 12 am (half day). It was a typical Kancil car only that the radio didn’t work, the horn made a soft screeching sound, the speed meter was spoilt and there was a flashing red battery light. Not knowing that something terrible was about to happen much later, New, Emily and I hit the streets at around 12.15. Our first stop was at Melaka Central where Emily bought her bus ticket to her hometown which was scheduled on the next day (after the English test).

Then, we decided to watch a movie at Dataran Pahlawan. We waded through the traffic and finally found a place to park. No, we didn’t park at the parking bay or at a parking lot. We kinda placed the car’s ass somewhere along a road where other cars had parked. Even though it wasn’t a parking lot, we had once parked there before so nothing bad could happen, rite???

Before watching the movie (we decided to watch BOLT), we strolled around at the PC Fair in Mahkota Parade Shopping complex (located directly opposite Dataran Pahlawan).

We didn’t have anything in mind to buy and there was nothing catchy worth buying. So, we just jalan jalan and tengok tengok here and there lo…

Guess who we saw? At one spot, Rishi, Karmen and a few others from MMU were promoting a Karspersky product. We chit chat’ed with them for awhile and left for lunch. We had lunch at Newton.

After filling our bellies, we headed straight for the cinema. The show started at 3.10pm and ended at 4.45pm. It was a nice show. If you are into cute things, that is the movie for you..

We had to pick Gerald and Mun Sun up from Ixora at 5.30, so we quickly walked to the car.

But, something caught our attention….

It was a paper sticking on the windscreen.

Was it a leaflet? Nope..

Was it a love letter? I wish….


SAMAN!!!!!


OMG

=O

WTFGHIJKLMNOP!!!!!

Damn, tak sangka kena saman…

Then, when we saw the penalty fee, my eyes almost bulged out of the sockets!!!

It’s a 3 digit figure wei!!!!


Waliao!!!! A hefty RM100!!!!

OMG!!!!!

Oh well, we were in the wrong anyway…

Ok, never mind…this is our fault. Yeah, we deserved it.

But, God wasn’t done with us yet. Nope, he had something in store for us, something much worse….

Not knowing what was more to come, we zoomed off to Ixora, picked them up and went straight to GOGO KTV at Jetty which was located at the brink of the beach.



(below) We went into Room 8 and that is where the fun really began!!!


We sang on top of our lungs. Both Chinese and English songs were on our “menu.” Since most my friends loved singing Chinese songs more, I had to give in…

Still, I did enjoy myself tremendously for I could sing a few Chinese songs like Deng Xia Yi Ge Tian Liang, and some Jay Chau songs. JAY CHAU ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

We also sang some songs from Westlife. Simply awesome..

New got carried away and started dancing..

I followed suit and soon, some of us were shacking our butts to the music..

My first trip to the Karaoke was indeed a memorable one.

THANKS GUYS!!!!!

Mun Sun, Emily, Gerald, New and Me


It was a full moon that night


After two hours of singing, it was time for dinner. It was 8.30 and we decided to go to the famous Satay Celup located in town.

We all mischievously let Emily drive us instead. And being a careful driver who just got her driving license a few months ago, she drove pretty slow….


If you see carefully, you'll notice the red battery light...




hahaha...rough tough puff behind the wheels =P



At first the car seemed ok. No major problems.

Then, after driving for awhile, Emily stepped on the accelerator to accelerate but the car didn’t increase velocity. She pressed the pedal a few times but to no avail. Weird. Then it hit us, the engine sudah mati…

Haiyo, stupid car..

Emily turned the ignition but the engine was still sleeping. Swt..

What now???

So, we stopped at the side of the road, got out of the car and tried to start the engine again and again. We wasted our energy la…there wasn’t even the engine sound going kreeek kreeeek kreeeek.. Then, we turned on the emergency lights but it didn’t light up.

Shoot, battery mati pulak.. Aiyoyo…

Engine and battery mati…



Cool and steady..
Even though we were in a "tight spot," we were still kinda relaxed....


So we called the mechanic of the car and told him to come to our “rescue.” See see, he’s in the middle of dinner. So we had to wait for him to finish dinner lo.. Damn that fella, waited for more than 1 hour. With nothing to do, all of us sat in the car and of all the topics to talk about, we started “interviewing” everyone’s love life..

It started off with New, Mun Sun, Emily, and Gerald. When my turn came, my our savior had arrived; the mechanic was here. Muahahahahahaha, I managed to escape the sharing session lalalalalalalala… =P




okok, back to the mechanic. Upon arrival, after explaining to him what had happened, he managed to reason out that the Kancil's autinator ( dun ask me what the heck this is for even I do not have the faintest clue about it). According to him, the autinator was spoilt, therefore it had used the battery's power to keep the engine alive. It did keep the engine running though, but after awhile, even the battery's juice ran out...

Haiz...

just our luck eh...



The mechanic continued saying that nothing could be done. The car's a goner.So, we pushed the car to a safe side of the road and left it there to be collected by the owner. God Blast that Car!!!


Then, we headed for McD which was just across the street only. It was 11pm and we still haven't had our dinner yet =O


Fuuh.... i think i crapped too much edi...

I must be boring u readers to sleep with an essay of words..

okay okay, i'll let the pictures do the talking...


Dinner at McD







After dinner, it was already 11.30pm. Exhausted, went back to Ixora..
Don't ask how we got back...





~RM 30 flew away ~
*Sobs*


So there you have it!
My First ever Karaoke Trip!
Looking forward to a next one
^^

Something Different

Pondering aimlessly upon these questions, "Where should I have dinner tonight?" "What should I eat?", every food outlet that I could think of seemed to be a total bore. So, I checked my cupboard and discovered that I still had bread and above all, I still had some ba kua (dried sliced pork) left!




Left over gardenia bread...





















For those of you who have never seen dried pork slices, it's basically something like dried pork ham I guess.









Yeah! THAT'S IT!!!! Ba kua sandwich for dinner!!!! Whupeee!!!!!
However, little did I know that my stomach was gonna have to digest something else for dinner instead.....
something different indeed....

Staring at my computer screen, a yellow flashing light at the tool bar caught my attention. It was Kei Fai sending me an MSN message. He invited me over to his place to cook for dinner. Flattered, I gave it a thought. Nah, dried pork sandwich was in my mind at that time so I humbly declined his offer. I told him what I was going to eat and I offered some ba kua to him since this precious meat is soooooooooooooo hard to come by here. This is where Kei Fai had a brilliant idea. With much excitement, he told me to bring the ba kua over to his place immediately. And so, I did just that.

As soon as I reached his place, he told me that he was going to place cubes of ba kua into his mushroom gravy. What he initially had had in mind was to have dried (kuan lo) noodles with mushroom gravy. This gravy is something like the che cheong fun mushroom gravy that you can typically find in Ipoh. Over here in Melaka, such gravy is hard to come by. In fact, as an Ipohlian ,"good" food is really truly hard to come by.Take my word for it guys.


But...
Seeing a wonderful opportunity, he literally tore 2 slices of ba kua into small slices and dumped those chunks of ba kua into the gravy. He added a bit more water and heated the gravy. While waiting, we could smell the delicious aroma of the gravy which smelled something like mushroom and ba kua (like duh....) Our appetites grew and our stomachs were now extremely demanding to be fed..

After taking out the noodles from the oven (yeah, we placed a bowl of instant noodles with water into the oven to cook 'em), we poured the precious gravy onto the noodles...




Ta daaaaaaa


Ahhh, the moment of truth had come. It was now time for the best part which was to taste the gravy to see if it was as good as it smelled.
We scooped the gravy and let it sunk into our taste buds......










Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
YUMMMYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

What a HEAVENLY TASTE INDEED!!!!!!!

As predicted, it had the sweet ba kua taste. The flavour of the mushrooms were pretty much enhanced, giving the gravy a rich flavour. The gravy was neither too thick nor too thin. It had the salty taste from the salt and oyster sauce. Simply perfect...

It was so delicious yet so simple and easy to make, it'll make you say, "Now, why didn't I think of that before?"

ahhhh, the taste was soooooooooo gooooood!!!
Our tongues were in heaven!!!


The noodles were covered with generous portions of mushroom and ba kua slices



The fabulous gravy...


And here's our happy ' Naked Chef ,'
the genius behind the brilliant innovation...
K5!!!!!


No guys, he's not a begger in newspapers.

He is a student of MMU and a wonderful friend of mine with a wacky personality

He loves to make new friends.

And most importantly, he is still single =P


Do not hesitate to add him in Friendster for you never know, he might once again surprise you with another amazing recipe !!!!!

http://profiles.friendster.com/kaegokage





After the satisfying meal, we chit chat'ed as usual..
Time certainly passes by pretty fast when you are enjoying yourself...
Before going back, K5, Mun Hoe and I decided to go to the market the next morning to buy ingredients for another cooking session.
And with people like Kei Fai and Mun Hoe around,
cooking will certainly be a tasty adventure indeed!!!!

Choices

"The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost,
is an extremely poetic way of expressing :
"ARGHH!!!!! Which choice should I make??? Is this the RIGHT choice??? Would I ever regret in future for making this choice??? WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????? "

Dedicated to all my MMU foundation-mates, I hope this post should clear your doubts or at least, give you some courage to make the next choice. The time has come to choose. What course to major in? Is it better to stay in Melaka campus instead of Cyberjaya campus? What happens if I make the wrong choice? Well in life, since choices are unavoidable, we have to learn how to deal with them. Problems occur because of choices. A situation which has 10 different alternatives would pose a bigger problem compared to those with only 2 alternatives.

For those who have yet to answer the big question " What course to pursue?" I'll give you this advice. Choose a course that fits your passion. If you think that the course would be to difficult for you, SLAP YOURSELF. If you really have the passion for that course, you should think of it as a challenge, not a problem. Nothing is easy in life. Stop trying to find an easy course.If it were easy, then it wouldn't be worth pursuing. Think about it!
Okay, maybe your passion does not fit your personality. Take me for example. I love crapping, talking and socializing. However, I have the desire to become a chartered accountant; this is my passion, my dream and my goal. From the job prospective, an accountant is a person who nests his backside on the chair and indulges his mind in numbers and figures for long hours. The fingers work while the mouth sleeps. Not much opportunity to socialize eh? And me, being a so-called extrovert, has been told by A LOT of people (including close friends) that I am taking the wrong course. They say that I would be better off taking engineering due to my passion for maths and scientific reasoning. Even marketing would be a better course for me, they say. BUT, there's nothing wrong with adapting your personality and passion. I can still be an accountant and socialize at the same time with my other colleagues, can't I? It may not be easy but hey, nothing is easy. What I am trying to point out here is that, follow your heart. It may take time though.

To go to Cyber or not to go? Another hotly debated topic among my friends. Well, staying in either Melaka or Cyber both has its pro's and con's. It is up to you to judge which place weighs more pro's than con's. Many of my Melakan friends do not want to go to Cyber for obvious reasons. I respect their decisions. But before they make any decisions, I hope they see the brighter side of going to Cyber. We are in University now. No longer in schools. It is time we learn how to be independent and practice how to depend on ourselves. Yes, we can still learn how to be independent by staying in our respective hometowns. However, the feeling is different. Do you know what it's like to feel homesick? To miss home cook food? How to travel without parents? Do you know the feeling of having to rely on your close friends for support?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Oh well, decisions are engraved into our lives; there's no escape from it. There is no right or wrong choice. Bad choices only make you stronger as long as you are willing to learn from it. Decision will undoubtedly leave scars of regret or happiness which will either way, make us who we are.

"Make the choices before the choices make you"

My Final Semester

Waaa ! The final semester for us January intake students has finally approached. Even though we have two months left before the last semester ends, I am already beginning to feel the sadness engulfing my heart. Sob sob.
After this sem, we will be going our separate ways, taking different courses and most importantly, some are migrating to the Cyberjaya campus. I have decided to stay here in Malacca for various reasons. One of the main reasons is that Cyberjaya campus is seriously lacking the campus life. No Yum Cha sessions. Overwhelmed with inactive Clubs and Societies. Hmmm, looks like sacrificing 6 months by becoming a June graduate might not seem such a bad idea after all.
For the past 2 sems, it has been a fantastic blast for me. I tremendously enjoyed going to classes. I was excitedly involved in clubs and events which enriched my university life. I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!! Coming from different backgrounds, states and countries ( international friends), we somehow manage to click with each other. My last two semesters were filled with laughter and many memorable moments. Even though the last two sems lasted for approximately 9 months, to me, time flew by extremely fast. Everything just happened so quickly and before I know it, it has come the the final sem of my foundation. I guess time truly flies when you are enjoying yourself =)
This sem, I hope that it will be another memorable yet enjoyable sem just like the previous. Seeing that most of us will be parting in the end, perhaps it would be a great idea to have an outing together. PM43 and PM44. Maybe a bbq party? Or perhaps going to Melaka's so called famous ikan bakar place? Still open to any suggestions though. I really hope that we can successfully organise an outing together to remind ourselves that no matter where life takes us to, we will never fail to cherish our foundation year and that our friends will continue to remain in our hearts!!!!

PM 43 & PM 44 ROCKS !!!

The Hungry Blogger - Part 1

"We eat to live, not live to eat"

The wise words above signifies how important it is to eat in moderation.
Now that I am in Ipoh, the first thing I have in mind is to satisfy my taste buds with the scrumptious food my beloved Ipoh has to offer. My tongue has long been deprived from such delicious food since I was in Melaka for quite some time. Even though the food in Melaka is oklah, it is still nothing compared to Ipoh. Since Ipoh is a haven for all the good food, my tongue is ready to be pampered to the max.

Armed with a my very own moto :

"I eat to live, and also live to eat"

I will try my very best to eat, capture pictures and blog all the mouth watering dishes here in Ipoh that I feel is worthy of before my holidays are over.


My very first stop is Ipoh's famous Ngah Choi Kai !




(above) We ate at one of the corner shops which as usual, was saturated with hungry customers


(above) Zooming in is the name of the shop we ate at


On the table laid a big plate of taugeh, 1 plate of a whole chicken, 6 bowls of keuh tiao noodles, 4 cups of herbal drinks, chillies and a soya sauce bottle.





SLUUURP !



Credit goes to these guys who work tirelessly to please the hunger of all Ngah Choi Kai lovers. What would Ipoh be like without them???



For those of you who do not know what is so special about Ipoh's Ngah Choi Kai, well, it's mostly about the taugeh (bean sprouts). It is the characteristically juicy, plump, succulent and sweet Ipoh bean sprouts that they adore most. It is a known fact that the bean sprouts here are twice as big as the ones you get elsewhere. They say it's due to the Ipoh's water.
Besides the bean sprouts, the kueh tiao (white thin noodles) is also to be complemented. The kueh tiao here is silky smooth.
All in all, Ipoh's Ngah Choi Kai still lives up to it's reputstion. TWO THUMBS UP!!!




Other delicacies of my interest that I plan to feast my taste buds on (not in any particular order):

1) Foh San's Dim Sum

2) Fish Noodle Shop

3) Andersonion's Curry House

4) Kai Xi Hor Fan

5) Claypot Chicken Rice

6) Chee Cheong Fun


*Kneeling before my knees, switching myself to prayer mode and looking up in the sky*
God, of all the fairies and angels present, please let there be no ULCERS in my mouth during my holidays. If not, eating would certainly be a torture.
God Bless



Cheers for now!
=P

A World without Fong Fei Kei ’ers

To all those hardcore Fong Fei Kei’ers (FFK’ers) out there, unless you are holding a hostage beside you at gun point, this is a MUST READ post for you as it is for the betterment of humanity itself !

NOT to be confused with TFK, FFK, which literally translates as Let Aeroplane Fly, simply means turning down an appointment with someone last minute in which you have initially agreed to attend to in the first place.

In this teenage generation, FFK'ing has become a popular trend that has already seeped its way into the veins of our modern Malaysian culture. Although we do not celebrate it on a special Fong Fei Kei Day, it is clearly apparent that this ‘disease’ is being practiced by a lot of souls.

EVERYBODY has FONG FEI KEI’d before, unintentionally, indirectly or accidentally.

Yeah, you heard it......EVERYBODY!!!!

If you are trying to rebut this by searching your memory for the last time you’ve FFK’d a person, save it. I mean, wouldn’t you FFK an important meeting to help an injured passerby? No? Well, that’s something we have in common then haha..

But the point is, all Earthlings, including me, has Fong Fei Kei’d before even though we may or mayn’t realize this. Luckily though, there exists 2 types of such people which are the usual FFK’ers (like you and me) and the hardcore FFK’ers. (unlike you and me)
The difference? Well, the latter does it purposely and frequently while the usual FFK’ers do it accidentally or forcibly (depending on the situation)

It is not wrong to FFK someone unintentionally, but don't let it grow into a habit. If it becomes a habit, then you are no better off than a hardcore FFK'er

While FFK’ing,

A typical hardcore FFK'er might say:


“ Aiya, I FFK one time only maa….nevermind laa….”

or

“That fella can FFK me, so I oso can FFK him back la”


WAKE UP SICK BUFFOONS!!!!!!!

Can you for once put your thoughtless soul into the other person’s body and pause to think just for a second??? The moment when you utter “Eh, sorry la bro. Something came up suddenly and I won’t be able to make it,” at the very last minute purposely, the other person’s world will come crumbling down as like the September 11th incident. For all he knows, he could have turned down a party, a meeting or more importantly even a date (although this is highly unlikely, the point is still there)!!!

INCONVENIENCE is the word!!!!

Saying those FFK'ing words can penetrate the heart deeply, exerting a burst of immense anger which is then concentrated and magnified considerably into just 3 words , WHAT THE F***!!!!! Even though it may be said unintentionally or purposely, loudly or softly, indirectly or directly, verbally or non-verbally, the core meaning is still apparent. He/She is pissed. You do not have to squeeze out your brain juice to realize this.

Geez..… for God sake, if everybody thinks like you, can you possibly imagine what the world will be like? If you are too inconsiderate to think about it, well, let me do the imagining part on behalf of your sore brain (if you have any brains)..


  • Patients is hospitals will risk a higher percentage of death if, the doctor decides to FFK last minute (without a valid reason)
  • A bride would have had a severe heart attack, if the bridegroom decides to FFK last minute (without a valid reason)

  • We, university students, would not be able to go back to our respective hometowns, if the bus driver decides to FFK last minute. (without a valid reason)
  • A couple of lives could be saved, if a deadly robber decides to FFK last minute. (without a valid reason)
  • A classroom of students would be throwing books up sky high in joy, if teachers FFK last minute. (without a valid reason)
  • John F. Kennedy would have lived a longer life, if the assassin FFK last minute (without a valid reason)



mmmmmmm…why does FFK’ing seem to be heading towards the sunlight???

oh noes, I’m over crapping edi..…..shit

Ok ok, enuf crap.... back to the hardcore facts!!!!


The bottom line is that FFK’ing is NOT good.

True, nobody can avoid FFKing. After all, nobody is perfect. So unless your name is 'nobody,' it is only time before you will FFK another unfortunate soul. But luckily, there are ways to minimise the number of casualties. When you FFK someone, the first word that you must CLEARLY blurt out are the words ' I'm SORRY ' ......and do say it sincerely laa

I cannot stress how fundamentally important this word will mean to the other person as it actually acknowledges the other person's injured feelings.

However, saying sorry may just not be enough. He might think that you are saying sorry just for the sake of saying so. In desperation to maintain the friendship bonds between you two, it is advisable to make it up to him by treating him to a drink or so. And yeah, this means that you are gonna have to spend some $$$.
But heck, isn’t it worth every single penny??? If not, then the least you could do is go out and have a simple 'Yum Cha' with him... and for all the stars and planets in the entire Solar System, puh-leeeeze do not FFK the yum cha session...... again

If you really do FFK for the second time continuously without a valid reason, haiz...sad to say that you are just another hardcore Freakingly F**Ked FFK'er... and the world could seriously be a better place without you....

Before I insult more hardcore FFK'ers, i think I better rest my case here =)



Say NO to FFK !

YOU could be the next victim



This post is a by-product of Thean Ming's tiny puny wheeny little brain which is better known to many as 'sensible' crap.


Credit goes to my pal, Gavin, where our friendly dispute and our never ending so-called debate had 'inspired' me to give birth to this post. Gavin, let there be peace ^^



Make Love, not War..
Life is too short to fight...


oh ya..
muahahahaha
and speaking of Love, wait till you see my coming post :

A Desirably De'stressing Day Indeed

Now that the exam season has approached, it is in every student's minds to bury their heads into thick piles of books and notes. A typical scenario from a student's perception...

But...
On Wednesday, there were 4 happy crazy friends where studying was simply the last thing they had in mind at that particular time...


It was early in the afternoon where out of the blue, Gavin, Emily, Zie Yeung and I decided to play badminton. And so, being our only transporter, Gavin fetched us up with his Viva around 4.20. We had booked the court located outside of MMU for 4.30


On the way, Gavin just couldn't help but criticizing us, Ipohlians.
WE IPOHLIANS DO NOT FFK OK!!!!!!!!!!
Debating all the way, I tried to put some sense into the thick skull of his. The day that
most Ipohlians will FFK, will be the day that pigs will be able to run faster than a speeding train !!!!


We reached the place at approximately 4.35 I think.
It has been damn freaking long since we last touched the racket and wasting not even a second, we started whacking the shuttle cocks up sky high..
It was clearly obvious that our skills had deteriorated, badly...
our reflexes were slow....
our smashes were blunt....
Nevertheless, our statistical skills are as follows:

Zie Yeung - The expert
Thean Ming - The not so expert type
Gavin - so so only
Emily - so so so only

After like 30 minutes or so, we played a few matches of doubles..
Yeah, I have to admit, we kinda suck in badminton...


SERVE
WHACK
MISS

SERVE
WHACK
OUT

SERVE
SMASH
MISS

SERVE
MISS

SERVE
OUT

SERVE
WHACK
WHACK
WHACK
MISS

SERVE
SMASH
OUCH!!!!

Zie Yeung powerfully smashed the cock and it shot right at my forehead.

OOOOUCH!!!!

As the flying cock came intact with my forehead, the momentum of the feathery object had exerted a vast amount of force, tilting my head as if were shot by a bullet..
PAIN WEI!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHA
In the end,
everyone including me, burst out laughing...


We continued playing...

Gavin never failed to hit the cock outside the court...
Emily always failed to jump HIGHER...
And I keep smashing at the net....
Haiz...



Emily seemed pretty grounded to the floor as she had problems defying gravity
haha..
(Dun worry Emily, we'll put the blame on the high inertia that u possess =P)

While resting, we bought isotonic drinks and to my astonishment, Gavin was teaching an old lady on how to use a calculator.

WHOA?????????
A simple calculator wor???????
yeah...
a simple calculator...
The 'sophisticated' piece of technology proved to be a challenge for the lady, but with some struggle, she managed to get a hang of it...
We can't blame her as calculators weren't even invented when she was young...


Then one of us had this 'brilliant' idea of
PUNISHING those who loses the badminton match..

If
LOSE, RUN around the 4 badminton courts...in FRONT of other people..
Humiliating huh???
Well, we have kinda thick skins and tak tau malu punya...
That is why we took up the challenge =P


We played 2 matches.
The first match was:


Zie Yeung & Gavin VS Emily & Me

Since Zie Yeung is soooo keng, it was not surprising that me and Emily lost the match.
However, we proved to them that we didn't mampus that badly muahahahaha
But we still had to run a lap though....



The second match was:

Zie Yeung & Me VS Emily & Gavin

Expectedly, Zie Yeung and I won the match and so, Gavin and Emily had to run one lap.
Poor Emily...she was the only soul who had to run 2 laps in total.

Poor thing..

But looking on the bright side though, of all the people, she needed the laps the most =P



Zie Yeung escaped with a sinister laughter while enjoying watching us run laps.
==

When it hit 6.30,

we left the place..


went back to take a bath

and met up again for dinner at 7.30

Here, we adopted a friend who's name is Kei Fai.
And so, the 5 of us hit the road in Gavin's car again.....



Pizza Hut as our destinate place to dine...




Ahh, a haven for all pizza lovers!!!






Since all of us were famished, the fact that there were 5 of us and most importantly, super heavy eaters were present in our group, we agreed to choose meal 6 which has:


6 bowls of soups,
8 bread sticks,
1 large pizza
1 regular pizza
1 jug of Pepsi


Thai Seafood
(large)




Hawaiian Supreme
(regular)



YUMMEEEEEEE !!!!!!


Altough the pizzas that we ate looked NOTHING like the pictures above as the toppings were selfishly insufficient, we couldn't give a damn.
We were juz sooo hungry!!!!
Even the most disgusting food would be a scrumptious treat a desperately starving person.


We added loads of CHEESE into the soups and of course, onto the pizza as well...
Mmmmmmm.....



Then, immediately after paying the bill, we went to a shop which sold 'tong sui' (a chinese sweetish soup dessert). The place was just around the corner and after a heavy meal, we gladly took the opportunity to go for a little walk.
We ta pao'd the dessert since we didn't wanna waste much of Gavin's time..
He had to rush back to MMU to meet a special person.
Ahh, it was his QT.......
=P

Oh well, at least I would be a able to touch my books hehe...
I haven't really started studying yet and here we are enjoying ourselves..
Haha, crazy it may seem...
But to us, we had lots of fun and that's all that matters most...
Fun ALWAYS comes before Studies
Lol

(it's even proven if placed in alphabetical order as the 'F' comes before 'S' !!!!)


=P

Why English is so hard to score !

Hey, guys!
While browsing through the net, I came across some pretty cool stuff on English...
And prior to our English test, I hope this will help you out by 'de-stressing' ur overworked minds =P
Enjoy !!!

....................................
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is UP .

It's easy to understand
UP , meaning toward the sky or toward the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the
secretary to write UP a report ?

We call
UP our friends. We use something to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers, and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car . At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special .

And this
UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP . We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed
UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP .
When it rains, it wets the earth and often

messes things UP

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP .
We could go on, but let's wrap it
UP , for now this time is UP , so: Time to shut UP !

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?


English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

=P
