Hols at home~

Hey everybody,

hows things back there? For the past few weeks I had been enjoying life (Eat, tv, surfing the net, sleep, badminton, jogging and of cause help mom in housework too :P). I hadn't really took the effort to apply for jobs yet though many of my friends are working already. Anyway, really wanted to thank God that I was able to report to PETRONAS online instead of making another trip to KL. Thanks to my friends James for the help.

Anyway, I have some pictures to share with you all.

On my sis' birthday, Stephanie, Joel and I made a cheesecake for her. This cheesecake is my all time favourite cake. Really the best cake ever. Hehe. Too bad the cheese wasn't fresh, so the cake tasted a bit bitter. But, few days later, we went to buy another cheese to make another cheesecake. Something like revenge because that day's cheesecake wasn't a success. :P Here's the picture of it. Looks good le...


Yesterday, our every Friday CG was held in our house. Mom and grandma boiled some "lek tao shua". Some sort of beans, don't really know how to call it in English. Mann.... tasted so good. This is a picture of my mom scooping it from the pot into the bowl for the cg members. Slimy and yet satisfied!! (quoted from "the lion king") :P


Usually, its served with some fried kuih, "iu zha kueh".


Then today morning, we ate something special and different. Guess what,
.

LOBSTER!!!!

The lobsters were indeed fresh. Beyond fresh!!!
The lobsters were still alive when my dad bought it from the wet market this morning. He was so excited until he woke me up in the morning to see these lobster. Haha. Thank God that we managed to get it with a cheap price :P You might ask how we kill a lobster? Its very violent.

Death sentence = Steamed to death!!!

After cleaning them, then immediately put into the steaming pot. That's all. Quite violent ho.. Hmmph.. What to do~ :P


Look at the head inside, orange color, we usually called it "Kor" in teo chew. That is always the best part of a prawn. This lobster ah, Hmm.. how to explain how it taste like? It taste something like the mixture of crab and prawns.


That's all I wanted to share in this post. God bless~

Hey everybody,

This blog was suppose to be out last week but apparently I cant complete them as it took ages for me to upload d pics. Haha. This was officially my first week of my holiday. It is over!! Of all the exams, of assignments, of test, of fyp presentation is all over now~ Well, in a way its sad too as I will be missing alot of exciting activities in UTP such as our every night prayer meeting, our supper at V5, our feeding fish and flying kite experience at the field, our COP (Church Of Praise) activities such as intro nite, farewell nite, supper at McD, and above all, all my dear friends... Like what my dad use to tell me,

"College life is the best. Appreciate them"

So, for the first week of my hols, I went over to Penang. Penang is really the best place to be, of course after my home la.. Best is home, second is Penang. Why Penang? Its because I enjoy food. Haha.. Kelvin and I went over to pay a visit in Penang. Really want to thank William's family for such a great hospitality.


Well, this is a picture of our first day in Penang. We went for a morning jog at the Mangkuang (dono how to spell) dam.


The view there is very nice. Very conducive for jogging. Just abit hazy.

After that we did went over to the island to have some meeting up with Kana, Hann and Melissa. Didn't took any pics of them. Lol.


At night, we had steamboat. Simple and nice. Really wan to thank God once again for such great hospitality William's family gave. Both Kelvin and I really get to know alot about history, about stamps, about William's family lifestyle etc.


Yah.. We had some wine too. This wine is very stubborn. Very hard to open. Need three strong man to work together opening it. Lol.

Guess what's for supper??

Ta ta..


Favourite fruit. Durian!!! Penang durian is also very nice... Man.. wan eat again... Lol..

The next day, Diane brought us around Penang. We went to Gurney Plaza (walk around and bought a birthday present for William), the best part is the botanical garden. It was so beautiful. Beyond what I can describe to you. The flowers, the natural trees with more than hundred years old, the setting, the environment, the road, the view, the nature, the waterfall.. etc. Really can't believe my eyes. Here are a few excellent pictures taken.


This blue flower is really nice.. Love it so much.. Hehe.











The next day, we went to Batu Feringgi. The view there again was very nice. Here are a few more pics.



So beautiful..







After that, we had lunch with William's family. And then straight celebrate his pre-birthday. Haha. "happy birthday to William"



It was such a memorable trip in Penang. Then off we go to Banting. Xiao Qi's house to put a night there. It was a long sweating journey to her house. I had to wait at KFC for 5 hours for Jack and Teik Hui to come that morning so we can go to Banting together. After we meet, we had to walk to the Pasar Seni bus station and with so much of luggage, it is very far. Plus, the bus from Klang to Banting was quite bad,. The bus driver wait until the bus is super duper pack only he start moving the bus. Can't really sit well. Now we know, how much Xiao Qi have to go through to get home. Haha. Anyways, it was really great being in Banting. We had bak kut teh, sak bak, homecook steamboat etc. It was a really great fellowship with his family. Here are some pics:



A beach there. Forgot the name. Haha.


Then, we gave xq her pre-birthday present. Since we wouldn't be meeting her this during her birthday. A specs. How do you think she look? Drop a comment. Haha. There's another story behind this specs too. I guess I don't have to touch on that topic. Haha. We had great time at the park too. :P







Really great time there. Before we leave around the evening, we had a group pic in her house.



Tat's all. Haha. Upcoming post will be my tour in Cambodia and Vietnam. Huhu.

Special day~

Hey everybody,

I just got back from Ipoh. It had been a really hot day. Good for hanging clothes but not good for enjoying. Had been sweating all the way back in the car. Thank God my room isn't that hot. Hehe..

Well, today is my birthday and I must say yesterday till today had been very grand and meaningful moments of my life. My friend Kelvin planned to have sleepover at Aaron's house and (unintentionally) planned a birthday celebration for me. Haha. It started of by going to Aaron's house to put our stuff.


Aaron's family had just bought a dog. Her name is Fabbie. Very cute.


Then we went Jusco. Just nice there is a flower and leaf exhibition. Nice flower.


Then we had movie. Then one more cars of friends plus my two beloved cousins, Edrea and Erica came over to Ipoh. We then went to "1919" to have dinner. This is the best dinner I've eaten this sem. I think its much much much better and nicer than western or Japanese food. I guess cause I'm a Chinese? Haha. We had fried brinjo (excellent), salted egg chicken (favourite), mix vege belacan (unique), black pepper deer meat (normal), taufu (quite big and yummy), butter prawn (saliva dripping). Haha. It was so funny that when my friends all wanted to plan something, they have to ask me to go to the toilet to avoid the surprise. But I can read their mind after that though.. Haha.


Then we had game session in Aaron's house. To past time till 12am. We had some bacardi with sprite. It was my first time drinking so much (2 small cup). The portion is 50% bacardi 50% sprite. It tasted horrible. But everybody are suppose to drink. It's like the "highlight" of the night. So, ok la.. Have to drink.


Well.. For me, I'm still strong and conscious. But these 2 friends, their face turn red. Haha.

We played many games la.. The last one was the craziest. TRUTH OR DARE!!! Gosh.. If you choose truth, maybe still ok la.. But if you choose dare, gosh.. need to kiss people. Lol.. This one cannot share the pics.. Keke..


"tak tak tak.. " the clock strikes 12am.. There comes one of my favourite cake.. Secret recipe's "new york cheese" cake. Haha. The cake was wonderful seriously. After that, slowly all go back.


Just some singing session.

So, the night ends like that. Well after that, on the bed, Kelvin and I had a good chat till 230am though. And then today had a wonderful breakfast. Ya.. I bought a new racket dy. Keke. I think its quite a good deal. Yonex Carbonex 6800, free string and grip, RM115. This is the first time buying racket myself though. Hehe..




Gonna try it later...

Thanks alot to all of you who make this celebration for me.. THANKS!!!
Tata.. My long post. Haha..

Hey everybody,

Today was the last day of class before mid sem. As usual, most people would go back and some will stay back to do some work. I'm in the stay back category. Well, not to say staying back isn't fun, it will be fun too catching up with projects and work and of course badminton!! I can't wait to choose my new racket (this Tuesday I think). Haha. Anyway, check this out..


This is our Psychology assignment. Subjective contour. Which triangle you will process first? The "pac men" generated triangle or the outline generated triangle? Our human brains often provide missing information about outlines. Meaning in this case, we tend to look at the “pac men” produced triangle instead of the yellow angle produced triangle. So how? When should we trust our brain? Lolz. Btw, the "pac men" is made of plastic bag cutting and the yellow outline are just some yellow paper.

Ya, actually I got the idea from this.. Hehe..


Ok.. enjoy.. Nitez..

Aih...~

Hey everybody


Yesterday was another normal day but something hurting happen. Well, since this is my own personal racket, i can say that this is the first time i broke it myself. Well i guess its time. How it broke a? Just a touch with kelvin's racket while we playing badminton yesterday. Not to say very hard also.. but i think maybe it accumulates all this while. Well, i can say im quite ok dy lo compare to my friend, Shean Chuan, he already broke 3 rackets. Lol. So, this coming week end or next week perhaps, I'm gonna get a new one. Hehe.. Maybe get the same one. See first.. Here are some pics..

Kena psycho~~

Hi everybody,

Good morning. Its 4.55am in the morning. Really late. My group mate and I are still rushing our psychology online conference in V5 cafe. Really jialat. This whole week is all about psychology. Tuesday one assignment on Psychology, Wednesday one online conference on for three days, Friday one assignment on Psychology again. Instead of learning about psychology, sendiri become psycho instead.

Being blind for an hour~~

Hi everybody,

Its been a while since I blog. But this thing that I did today really I need to blog.

I took a course called "General Psychology" and we have assignments every week. But this week was rather different. The assignment requires me and a friend (who didn't take Psychology) to go to the lecturer's office. There our Psychology lecturer will give a task to be done blindfolded. Different people will have different task. Some is to take a lecturer name card from the other block, some is to go pick a stone at the park, and many more..

As for me, my task is to go to the library and borrow a book by the name "Road Development". Then my this friend, Kelvin who came with me, needs to make sure I don't kill myself by falling down or knocking something. What do you think? Nice assignment? Haha..

I was rather scared being blindfolded. So many people will see and asked what is Jesse doing and all. Quite ashamed also. Well, the starting of my journey is by walking slowly to the lift. Well, wasn't that hard. Slowly I walk. Kelvin was walking next to me. He was talking to me along the way which was actually prohibited in the assignment (Shh.. haha). When I reach the front of the block, I was supposed to turn to the left to go to the library, I didn't know so I walk till I feel I'm walking on some place that isn't straight.

"this must be the park"

So I make a u-turn and walk back on track. Going to the library wasn't that hard. A friend of mind, Gwen, she very naughty. She saw me blindfolded and she stood still see would I knock her. Surely enough, I knocked her. Quite funny also lo. Then as I reach the chancellor hall area, there were many booths there and it was abit hard for me to get through it. But slowly I manage to get to the library.

I went straight to the help desk. Asked, "excuse me". Apparently, nobody reply me. So I decided to look for my friend who is sitting at the newspaper area as there were calling my name. So happen before I go to meet the lecturer, I was at the library. So, I knew who were there. So I call my friend, Stella, and asked her to help me. Help me find on the com for the collection. She brought me to the shelf to look for that book. Praise God, in no time it was found. She then brought me to check out the book and also lead me to the door. Really want to thank this sister in Christ for her help. It was such a blessing to have her being part of my assignment. Haha..

So as I walk back to the block 21. I told Kelvin,

"don't talk to me, let me walk alone. If you talk to me, I would know where is the direction."

So, ok. He didn't talk to me after that. It was really a tough time. I can't really see anything and was just walking by faith. And also touching the building and structure around me to make sure I'm on the right track. It was really tough. At one point, I reach the edge of the pathway, thank God Kelvin quickly stop me, else I will have quite a few cuts and bruises by now. Hehe. So, slowly step by step, I reach the lecturer office. I was so relieved when I took of the cloth that is covering my vision.

I really want to thank God for creating me so perfectly, in this context, eyesight. Life would be so meaningless without vision to see all the beautiful things that our great God had created. Without eyesight, there is just this feeling of fear inside. Fear to walk, fear that someone would attack you, fear to fall, fear to make friends too, and many more... Really, thank You Lord!!


P/S: Ya, having a person to talk to is the best thing that a blind person could have. So, if you would ever see a blind man around, please don't ignore him. At least talk to him.
