Memo# 33 : Crap,Scrap, Frap

i finally have internet access in this place though can't really use long.
It's already been a month since i came to Labuan Matriculation College and this blog has been rotting away.

There's actually no WiFi around the campus so it is futile to bring a laptop. Even if you do, you are asking for trouble..coz unlike Curtin where a laptop per student, here its a laptop within 200 students.

The library does have internet access, there are around 30 computers here of which only 16 have internet access. And that's to accommodate 2500 students!!!

It's normal to bath halfway and see the water running out. So just wrap the towel and walk down from the 3rd floor to the other block just to continue your shower coz the whole block would be out of water.

Entertainment revolves around going to the library and reading. Seriously!!
Or maybe playing some outdoor sport like football or basketball(which is available at any school)

The lectures are ok albeit some lecturers being lazy as a donkey to teach anything except reading word by word from the projector slide.

Tutorial classes in 20 minutes..lol..

I may go form6

Malay Students : Aiya!! He didn't get coz he dumb mar..
Chinese Students : Aiya!! Gahmen racist mar!!

Got a scholarship -

Chinese Students : Aiya!! He get very good results lorr
_________________________________________________________________________

It's already mid year and everybody will be leaving for their new life soon.
That's why I decided to hold a Reunion party
I'm lazy to type a lot coz I will be leaving KK tomorrow morning when the chicken crows.
The rest of them got there before 7pm to play DotA so I told them to get a place first for 10
They still couldn't get seats when I arrived at 7.15pm















There was a Fireworks display at the City Square in conjunction withn Kaamatan
Kwong drove the Automatic kancil for the first time. It was...err..scary

We headed to Yoyo to have a nightcap before everyone left around 10.30pm

Memo# 31 : KL Experience - Bangi: The Final Journey

____________________________________________________

Interesting : Signs that people are getting more and more lazyA ONE Floor Elevator ; next to the stairs
____________________________________________________

I embarked on my journey to discover my soul 1 month ago starting from the Kota Kinabalu Low Cost Carrier Terminal. Though I have yet to discover anything,

In my 4th week here in Semenanjung, I travelled to Bangi after staying 3 weeks in Sentul.
The place is around an hours drive from Kuala Lumpur.
Here in Bangi, I went to visit the National University of Malaysia.
The place is newer than the Malaya University and is built within a protected jungle (according to my friend lah)
There's even a lake there.
The place is more like a park than a University after you get deeper and deeper in, most of the other faculties are on top of hills and tiring to go by on foot. As an example, I took the journey on foot to fully experience the campus than just taking a bus up because the Law Faculty is at the very end of the campus.
The wildlife there is aplenty, with monkeys ...BIG monkeys hanging out and monitor lizards(biawak) and also a flowing stream full of fishes
We headed to the Law Library after the tedious journey there to rest and cool down.
It was empy due to the term holidays so it was more quiet.
Just went there to read some newspaper.
After that I went to search for my answers.
The Vice Registration Officer was where I was going to get it.
So she said that she didn't even know about the change of policy in Malaya University, that they were only accepting STPM students now. So far UKM still accepts matriculation and foundation in law UiTM to pursue careers in Law. But I'm not to sure of when they would change the policy
That sure gave assurance that going to matriculation would still give me a chance to chase my dream. So far I failed to get a place with UPU into IPTA (Local Public Institutions) , but considering my lousy grades, I didn't expect much. Even someone with 12As albeit being Chinese can't get it..what lagi me
I have only 3 options left; Go matriculation or go into a private University or take STPM
For sure STPM is the safest route albeit being the longest while matriculation being the fastest but not sure whether it can further my dreams and private being the most expensive option.
It is confirmed though that I will be taking matriculation starting from next week. I still haven't even have time to rest. Tomorrow is my flight to KK
Later we decided to head down to the Canselori to check around.

The building looks very grand from the outside.
Inside was interconnected with a lot of faculties that walking inside felt like going through a castle. With stone walls, large empty corridors and many passages, the University is indeed very grand

There's even a courtroom inside!
But we had to sneak in, people aren't allowed in unless there's a teacher present.
Of course the lights everything was off, so we went in to just look around
All rise!
Judge Ma presiding
Judge : Ahh! So you were caught selling VCD Panas at Chow kitt ah!!!
Me: Nonono!!! I was just..errmm..sharing them
A.R : So I put fourth that H was caught red-handed selling illegal VCDs
Me : OBJECTION!!!!


It was getting late, and haven't even eat dinner yet.
Luckily there was a night market, just tapau some Nasi Ayam and eat at home.

At 10pm, went down to town to eat some supper cause earlier on I saw a Pizza Shop there.
It was only RM9.80 for a regular size one. It was a frozen pizza, so I thought it would be too hard and chewy
But the pizza was nice..crunchy and not too hard with tomato sauce and mayonnaise .

Memo# 30 : KL Jam Obsession

___________________________________________________________________________

Interesting :I think one day people will be crazy enough to treat West Malaysia as the Scourge and East Malaysia as Sentinel and start to "spawn" Treants - Sarawak trees and Ghouls and send them to "enemy base" to fight.... The objective of Sentinel is to protect the "World Tree" in Mount Kinabalu while the objective of Scourge is to protect KLCC "Frozen Tower"? maybe they will dress like their beloved Hero and start to fight each other just to become beyond godlike? RoFL~! OWNING!
___________________________________________________________________________

Obviously KLites have a great like for jam. At first I thought they only loved traffic-flavoured jam, but they have a wide variety to choose from.

Today I left the apartment at 10.30am to 1Utama(New Wing) to catch Spiderman 3. My sister told me better to watch an earlier movie because it was less hassle.
I didn't really understand what was going on in the beginning.

So reached there at around 11.15am and went straight to GSC 1U and there was a long line.
Imagine this:

|_booth 1_|_booth 2_|_booth 3_|_booth 4_|_booth 5_|_booth 6_|
|___X_______x______X_______x________X_______x_____ |
|________________________________________________X_|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
|__________________________________________________|
| (me) X x X x X x

• X - people
  

that's how long the line was and the movie starts at 12pm
There were probably around 40+ people there at 11am!!!! You can't find jam like that in KK
So after waiting in line for around half an hour, we finally were at the last line.
The only problem was it was Selling Fast and the time was 11.54am so we thought the seats would be scattered around.

Call it blessing from God or good luck, they released the reserved seats when we finally reached the ticket counter. So all the good seats at the centre of the auditorium were vacant. Prime seats man!!! PRIME!!!

Went upstairs to the auditorium.. the toilet also had a jam =.=
Wanted to get some food but the upstairs Popcorn shop was closed

The auditorium is 100x better than KK Cinemas!!! The seats are wide and has neck support plus it doesn't wobble and the side is cushioned. The ceiling is high to create a comfy and not stuffy atmosphere plus the advertisements before screening is better than Mega Pavilion in KK that plays 80' Malay rock music

We just decided to go downstairs to get some food before the show started and the Popcorn shop upstairs was just open. Another stroke of luck so no need to go downstairs.

Spider Man 3

-The Greatest Battle Lies Within-

After reading so many critics of this movie, I totally DISAGREE with EVERYBODY on this show.
Everyone commented that there was too much put inside. That there were too many characters in the show and not enough character development.
I find the show elegantly paced because after so much that happened, it was still the first hour.
The beginning mainly explained on the situation Parker/Spiderman was in. After years of fighting bad press, New York City finally acknowledges his good deeds and celebrate him as a hero. It shows the relationship between Parker and M.J through the first hour.
Even Marco Flint a.k.a the Sandman is elaborated showing a more human side to the villains just like part 2 where they showed Dr. Octopus in a human light.

It is only after M.J denied Parker that he truly embraced the alien symbiote and chose Power over Love. When Parker goes into emo mode, he is seen with darker hair. He lets his hair down covering his forehead unlike his usual comb up. Through this alien creature, his aggression, power, agility and coolness/lameness increases. The coolness is when he buys a new suit and takes Gwen on a date and dances. The lameness is his stupid dancing skills on the street to catch the ladies attention, who find him appalling.

It is only after Parker rejects the alien symbiote that it takes host in Eddie Brock( Gwen's ex-boyfriend) Here is where Venom works together with Sandman to get their revenge.

The cool part starts when they kidnap M.J and openly challenge Spiderman to a duel in the middle of the city. Sandman is seen towering a few stories stronger and more dangerous.
Parker and Harry Osbourne(the green goblin) team up to save M.J while having a tagteam match up.

I personally think this movie out performs 300 and is the best blockbuster I've ever seen.
Though there are more characters, it is not that hard to concentrate on the story being told.
Oh,there's even a cameo appearance by Stan Lee

The fighting part is the best. I personally give it a 10/10 for Spider Man 3
I hope this is not the last installment.

The Cleo 50 Most Eligible Bachelor Stage Show was at 1Utama today hosted by Serena C
I even saw an old acquaintance from La Salle who was in KL! Simeon from 5 Rigel taking Pilot course. So at 4pm went back home

Today is the last day here in Sentul. I'm going to Bangi to a place I never been before with no family. After 3 weeks here, I'm so used to the room that it feels like home for me.


Can't believe it's almost a month in KL already coz' it sure passed by so fast.
It looks like all my options are dead for I am left with only 1 pathway with is through the matriculation program.
I really hope the website to check my application for UPU is updated quickly because it still says IC with starting with year 88.
I leave tomorrow on the final week of my journey in my soul searching, which I have found out nothing. I just hope where I'm going has internet.

Memo# 29 : Message From Hell!!

I receive a weird SMS today from someone I haven't heard from in a couple of months.
Catching me completely by surprise, I thought the sun was knocked off balance creating confusion among the normal Earth dwellers and we were being invaded by hellspawn

For the subject of the message was only someone completely neurotic could understand.
I warn you dear readers-consisting of the two of you- to not be drinking any liquids at the moment for what you are about to read may shock and leave you dumbfounded.

I present you

Message From Hell's Secretary:

Mary wn i tell u...she lik u...jz play v u n she wn play yr feeling only...n she oso like othr gal...bcz yr $, she jz wn v u...n she gt bf liao.u nt nid scare her

From what I can tell, hell uses a completely different language from what we Earth dwellers use.
Aside that, Hell's Secretary must have failed her TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) many times coz I completely didn't understand

Is anybody here a competent linguists ? Aside from me who was left dumbfounded.
...
...
...
2 hours later
...
...
According to my research team who are professors in Language of Hell and Retardism ..these are what they deciphered..I shall extract each phrase to better understand the message:

Mary wn i tell u - I think this means.. this is mary's one..i am asserting this is Mary's one to you
she lik u - i think this is .. she lick me..i don't remember being licked by a spawn of the underworld
jz play v u n she wn play yr feeling only- there are many single letters..this is a little hard
hmm..it could mean she is playing her feelings this year (yr)
she oso like othr gal-she's lesbian
bcz yr $- BisCuitZ your dollar ...omg.. a dollar for 1 biscuit?? damn hell's currency is high
she jz wn v u- she likes jazz want we you
n she gt bf liao - and she has a ButterFly
u nt nid scare her - you not need scare her

This is giving me a headache..i still don't understand after numerous attempts to decipher the message.It's a little blur.

I think hell beings would much rather scare me..but I don't remember scaring anyone except a dog..hmm..

So I sent a reply using the best of my abilities to Hell:

Dear Retard..i mean Mary:

I is hepi u is try fnd me, v dn haf gal pal hr, me dn lik ppl bt only **ss*.
I kum in pz nt scare v u,hop bf is eat lots of lif,hop u ejy play v urself and dn lik 2 much stones..v can kutch kutch kota hei..macha?? dei!

So being rest assured my fears of having the Earth taken over my hellspawns, I went back to sleep

Went for dinner at the Victoria Station Restaurant, Damansara in the evening.
I haven't been there since the last time I came to KL which was 2years ago.
Back then I had financial support so I ordered the Phoenix Dragon Cuisine ( lobster and chicken)
for RM45
The food there to say the least is - costly
So since I'm financial unwell, had to spend within a limit
The restaurant has a train station backdrop and was featured on The Star a while ago and it's said that the owner went around the world looking for the decorations.
The lighting and setting reminds you of a mid-1800's British railway station.
There's even a real train set inside the place but the seating is stuffy.So a booth would do.
The variety there is a bit wider than in KK.
So I just played with the camera while waiting for my food

Me shell..
Seafood Au Gratin RM17.90
It's in a big clam shell covered in cheese with chicken,prawns,oysters(rather sour), mushrooms and other stuff I forgot. Very well worth it



End of Dinner.
