Memo# 22: My KL trip (1st week)

I finally have an Internet connection.Currently staying with my sis's family in Sentul.
I derno wat to write lerr.. do so much now kenot remember liao.
So on Saturday it was my first time to the new LCCT(Low Cost Carrier Terminal) and I say..its better than the other terminal.

This was my first time flying alone as in without any parents. It's very ma fan carrying 3 bags by my self (1 luggage, 1 laptop and 1 sling bag). Have to produce my IC so many times taking it out and in again while carrying 3 bags.

So later they were boarding the plane and I called Soo to know where is was.. that guy was still in Tanjung Aru Town having his breakfast while I was already boarding the plane. That guy dunno how to prioritise his schedule so I booked him a seat. He was the last to board the plane with his dad and the plane was not very full. Both of us took up 3 spaces while the girl on the other side took all 3 to herself. Since it was not packed I could lie down on the plane and it was rather the comfortable ride.
Yes..those are grapes. Finally after buying the book To Kill A Mocking Bird about 2 months in KLIA, I am reading it and i find it a very interesting book. It's not the usual kind of thriller book I would read but it is a book about a lawyer's kids which I'm not too sure what the plot is about. I finished about 5 chapters and still there's no story except them explaining about the people of the town they are from. Will get to reading it if I'm bored here.
Please Switch off All Electrical Appliances and Handphones on the Plane or A Fine of RM2000

Now Soo is a complete dumS. He left his handphone on during the flight and it still received SMS on board. He even got a CALL while in mid air. Luckily the stewardess didnt hear it..





After we landed, took the Central Bus from LCCT to KL Central. It was an hours drive from LCCT to KLCentral and I was getting hungry since the flight didn't have food.
1 rule i learnt here from my friend is that:
If you wanna go travelling, bring 2 jeans and 3 shirts. And buy the rest over there.
So the rest of the day i stayed at my sis's apartment after going to some Baby stuff warehouse sale.

On Sunday I screwed up a lot. Since Sunway and Sentul is the same distance as KK and Papar, it was difficult for me to meet my friends at Sunway Pyramid and later go back Sentul. I screwed up big time when I didnt plan my schedule properly. Went to eat the famous 辣椒板面 at Kin Kee Restaurant and it was packed that we had to wait 30minutes just for the food to arrive. So is Pan Mee RM4.80 cheap for you all or not? I dont really know the price of KK Pan Mee. After that went to Assumption Church near Sunway at 11am. Stupid Soo told me to go Sunway Pyramid at 11am but he only got up at 11!!! Around noon called Soo and he still had to go for breakfast then go back and bath..niamah..so went off to Carrefore to shop for some stuff. I tell you horr..if you live 45mins away from your rendezvous place..and it would be hard to go back later at night, the only way is to stay with them at their place and buy new clothes, toothbrush, unmentionables and towel at Carrefore at cheap prices.





Finally at 2pm the guys reached Sunway Pyramid so I headed there to meet them. Went around shopping and looking at stuff. Bought some Dunkin Donuts and sat outside Coffee Bean where the staff couldn't see us. Suddenly a Salesman approached us and asked whether he could sit with us. He was selling some kinda perfume by Gucci.






Dude said something about selling it off for mother's day because it was old stock and they will stop production because the new Envy Me 2 will be out. He said Duty free places like airports sell it for RM100 and he was offering RM50 as a student price. He even went as far as to show us the authenticity of the perfume by spraying it on the table and lighting it on fire as proof it is alcohol

Later myself and Soo went off while Joel and his cousin stayed at Coffee Bean. I had to find some change of clothes as I only have the shirt on my back to wear tomorrow since I didnt bring my luggage. By 4 we went around the whole Sunway Pyramid and decided to head to Subang SS15.

Subang SS15=Damai
This place has 300 computers that "includes the most expensive Altec Lansing Woofers and Razer mouse" and a 5 Star interior. It probably is better than Damai CX. Called FT2 AsiA.net, even though it has 300 computers spanning 2 stories in its own building but still there was no space. Sadly we had to walk down a few blocks to find another cyber.



Scenario 1
We walked into the first cyber cafe we see while walking down the street.
Look at the screen and see there's still space. So they find seats and sat down.
"Hmm..something's missing" said Soo..
*look around and finds mouse on top of the CPU*..
okok..
*Click Start Menu and look for games*
"Hmmm...something's missing" Soo said again..
*looks across at Joel*
dude!! There's NO DOTA!!!
*looks behind and sees no one playing DotA*
*walks out of shop quickly*

They dont charge people for using it in 2 minutes .

So after playing DotA at another Cyber Cafe WITH DotA, we went to the Food Centre in between FT2 AsiA.net and a recreational building. It was on a deck with a Projector Screen behind playing music.


*That's the cyber cafe*

The Western Food there is cheap and delicious..Bought the Roast Chicken for only RM8.50 with coleslow and rice.

The only problem is the damn flies. It's everywhere and most of the time I'm trying to eat and the flies land on my cup and on the straw. One hand I'm cutting my chicken chop and on the other hand I'm swatting flies. =.="




Joel left early so that left me waiting for Soo's dad to come and fetch us.
We went up to the Recreational Building to play some foosball .The 1st Floor is filled with Snooker Tables while the 2nd floor is Foosball and Snooker.It costs RM2 per game with 11 balls.
That was my first time playing foosball. It's damn fun and addictive. Normally 2 on each team would play and you put the ball in the centre and kick off. There's where you must know how to multitask.One hand guarding the goal post and the other hand controlling the ball. It was so fun that we played a couple of times. I accidentally own-goaled a few times that I lost. I'm getting on of those machines when I'm in college man!
After that went to FT2 AsiA.net for a while coz Soo's dad not yet arrive. Played a bit of BattleField 2 for 45 minutes. It's great and spacious. The Taylor College Students really untung lerr..since they are situated a few minutes from that place. Good Food, Good Games and Lots of Flies..who could ask for More.
At night went back to Soo's Uncle's Apartment but the whole place had a power outtage so went down to the park.

It is cooling within the compound because of the buidling surrounding it. The Bernoulli Effect made it windy. Later i'll do a sketch on the Break Glass picture. I dont have photoshop here. Spent the night watching Van Wilder: Party Liaison..stupid and funny show.
Monday Soo had to do his English Placement Exams so got up and the uncle dropped us off in front of Sunway Pyramid.Went to eat at the shop beside of Sunway Pyramid and it is EXPENSIVE for a Wanton Mee.Look at the picture..it's called Wanton Mee but it has only ONE wanton inside..for RM6 lagi tu.
The One Academy was situated a few lots down the block. The English Placement Exam is equavalent to Primary 6 test.

e.g:What is that girl?
A.She is a student
B.It is a student
C:It's a girl
D:She is a student girl
Hmm..now what is the answer for that? Issit D? Nahh


2 hours long to finish primary 6 questions and an essay of Importance of English.
The only hard question is Connect 9 dots with 3 straight lines without lifting the pencil.
We were cracking our heads open trying to figure out this question. In the end we just left it blank.The answer is actually
One Question was on creativity:
Using the line as shown, draw a picture within the box as creatively as possible

After the placement test went to Ikea to check out furniture.
The place is better than any furniture store i have ever seen. The whole concept of
showing how the furniture goes together really cactches people's attention.

Went to eat at the Swedish restuarant in IKEA. The food is pricey and the portion is small.

Evening went to Sungei Wang to shop.That place is lala paradise with all kinds of clothes you only see in the anime. Almost everyone's hair was like the Anime and lotsa cheap clothes. Went around the place around and around at every shop there but couldnt find anything that suits me.

Trivia:
KL has a flyover fetish. Everywhere there is a new Flyover coming up and KK takes 2 years just to complete 3.
Scenario 2
politician 1: Ei..boring lar..the new flyover in Damansara just complete...
Let's build another one!
politician 2: Yaya..ok..where to put it ah?
*switch on Google Earth*
politician 2: Everywhere full liao lar..lets build a flyover over another flyover.
politician 1: good..lemme approve the order
*signs approval paper*
politician 2: Who to build it? Ali last time build liao..ei..take out the list
Find those who havent build in a while..
politician 1: how much to allocate ar? 1 Billion enuf onot?
politician 2: errr..1 billion too little lar..3 billion lar..
politician 1: OK gud..
*picks up telephone*
politician 1: OI Datuk Ting!! We need another flyover in Petaling Jaya..can complete by next year onot?
Datuk Ting: No prabrem..you say next year I give you by the end of this year want?
politician 1: gud gud..
*end*

So..the thing is KL has a LOT OF FLYOVERS all over the place and everywhere is sprouting another one.

Memo# 20 : Cheap and Cheerful Cars

I saw this video about 2 years ago on DVD around December at my cousin's house. It was entitled "Jeremy Clarkson's Heaven and Hell". It talked about the best cars of the year and also the worst cars of the year.

Not surprisingly, The Perodua Kelisa made it into one of the world's worst manufactured cars. At first all I thought was him ranting out his disappointment at the piece of junk... and then it got real funny. He hung the car a few metres into the air suspending a tonne of weight and later exploding the car with dynamite sticks doing it the Clarkson way.

But sadly, i have already come to terms with reality and give in to the fact that my first car would be a Kelisa and NOT a Mercedes Brabus . What a sad day is it when the hopes and dreams of a little boy is crushed by cruel reality. O how cruel thou art on me! For shame! tsk tsk tsk


Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has come under attack in the Malaysian parliament for labelling one of the country's cars the worst in the world.

The BBC presenter has been filmed attacking the Perodua Kelisa with a sledgehammer before blowing it up.

But minister Abdul Raman Suliman defended the nation's car industry, saying Mr Clarkson was like a football commentator who cannot play football.

Perodua had not received a single complaint from UK owners, he told MPs.

He added that the comments were made merely to boost sales of the Top Gear magazine.

'Soulless'

Mr Clarkson has voiced his frustrations with the small three-cylinder model in both magazine articles and on film.

In one article, he said its name was like a disease and suggested it was built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes.

And in a DVD car review, he described it as "unimaginative junk, with no soul, no flair and no passion".

He then smashed it, hung it from a crane with a one-tonne weight attached, before blowing it up.

Perodua is Malaysia's second national carmaker and began producing small compact models in 1995.


link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6528087.stm

Here's the video


Recently Top Gear commented on the Proton Savvy. They weren't even interested in it.



I wonder what would Abdul Raman Suliman say to Jeremy Clarkson if they met.

let's just assume Abdul Raman Suliman is brought up in a chinese school.

Abdul Raman Suliman: Ah neh! Hey you stupid fler! Why u call our national car junk a?
Jeremy Clarkson: May I ask what country are you from?
Abdul Raman Suliman:Malaysia lar! Cibai lu .. tok bad bout the Kelisa..you jeles only bah!
Jeremy Clarkson: *snickers* You call that a decent car? Cars made in 1950 has more life.
Abdul Raman Suliman:You like a football commentator who cannot play football!!!
Jeremy Clarkson: Well Perodua is a car buyer who can't make cars.
Abdul Raman Suliman: *zha dao* li lao bu nehr teach manners ah! I never receive any complaint from UK buyers yet lerr
Jeremy Clarkson: That's because most of them are Malaysians and it's cheap . *mumbles* not in just the price but also in quality
Abdul Raman Suliman: What you say just now ar?
Jeremy Clarkson: Nothing
Abdul Raman Suliman: You blow up our car just for ratings only. Cheap publicity stunt wan.
Jeremy Clarkson: Of course it was. But I wouldnt blow up a BMW M5 would I? You know why? Because the Kelisa is crap. Pure soulless crap XD
Abdul Raman Suliman: Aiya you angmoh all have money larr.. can buy wat wat BMW M16 and fancy fancy interior.. MCH!!
Jeremy Clarkson:At least the Satria GTI was better.

Memo# 18 : One Way Ticket to Rediscovering Myself

Confirm I'm flying off to Kuala Lumpur on the 14th of March a.k.a White Day

I ran out of fresh clothes and am forced to wash all 15 shirts I just throw into the laundry bag after using them. It is tiring since I have to handwash all of them.


My trip is a one way ticket until I know for sure what I plan to do with the rest of my life.
No returning to Borneo unless I find my purpose in life or I get bored.
With nothing but the clothes in my bag, the laptop and my mp3 player, I will travel around as a vagabond in the unknown metropolis known as K.L.

If it ends up well, I'll be back before May

And I am hooked on a new game after Ragnarok Online ended for me
It's Trickster Online
It's similar to R.O but you have to choose your job early game when you create your character.
The levelling is a bit slower and you don't change jobs until you're level 50.
You have to purchase cards to learn new skills and so far weapons are limited.
That means that when you choose your character from the beginning, you're stuck with that type of character build or whether you can change it I'm still not sure.

It's fresh and it's been ages since I played an MMORPG so I think i'll play this 99 before I head to college.

Now the question is :
Which College should I Go?

Memo# 17 : Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is the time when Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead and ascended into heaven. Woke up around 7.30am to get ready to go church when I found out there was no water.
This is the second day there was not enough water pressure to bring the water upstairs. I had no choice but to bath downstairs through the pipe.

Today's Easter Celebration was ruined by faulty the PA system. The priest was somebody I've never seen before.

In the afternoon went to Papar to pay my grandparents an Easter visit until around 2pm then to Tanjung Aru for lunch. I planned to watch movie with Sean at 4.45pm and it was already 3pm.
Went home .. got ready and went out to pick Soo up.We got there at 4.40pm .. 5 minutes before the movie started =.="

The guys were Sean(white), Vince(Filipino), Daniel (Indian) , Soo(Chinese) and I (kadazan)
Now this is UNITY .

The movie was Shooter

SHOOTER
----------------
Yesterday was about Honour
Today is about justice



It's those old kind of movie where one man takes on the bad guys. Just like Die Hard Trilogy.
It starts in Ethiopia about a Sniper, Bob Lee Swagger, and his friend under the US government sniping out enemy infantries. He is left for dead after their mission is complete by the very agency they were working for and his friend is killed.

Fast forward to 3 years later. He is living in the mountains with his dog when government personnel come looking for him to ask for his help on stopping a presidential assassination.

But later on he is betrayed and runs into hiding to plan his revenge. With no one by his side except his dead friend's girlfriend and an FBI agent, Memphis, who investigates by himself and finds reasons to doubt that Swagger was behind the assassination attempt.

It's a large government conspiracy where the powers in control is trying to silence Swagger because he was involved in Ethiopia. It's a good show really.
It's fast paced and doesn't drag on with unnessesary stuff. The action scene and one man masacre is just great and there wasn't much cheesy lines I could remember

It has the same *Hero walking away from a house before it explodes killing off the enemies inside* scene ... I give it a 4/5 .. YEAH...that's how much I liked Shooter

I'm with stupid

The movie was around 2 hours 5 minutes and after it finished we took a cab straight to Damai, Pizza Hut to book seats for Soo's party.


There was around 18 people and everyone was split.
There was enough food to go around.
Atmosphere was lively since everyone only sticked to their own group so we could just openly talk without caring much of others since they too were busy


Before anyone came, they served 3 plates with 20 breadsticks
If the staff asked why there were only breadsticks
" We love our breadsticks

The 4 of us La Salle folks had a good time nonetheless.. Mostly we just talked crap and about how we will end up in the future plus a little Arang bashing which never seems to get old.
There's always something to say.

Seems life outside the class only leaves 4 of us. Before in class we 4 were tight but luckily it seems even after school has ended .. the bond never breaks
5 Years down our lives , we plan to meet up again and this time with our girlfriends? ..ahahaha
Time really does fly. It's already April and soon everyone will go different sides of Malaysia
Kwong got everyone laughing after he took out his Limited Edition RM500 from his wallet.
He didn't have any money at ALL except for this.
Even the paper felt real. Like those RM5 bills and the signature was almost perfect
Truly a work of art.

The whole evening just hanging with friends is a good way to bond plus free food makes it perfect. Ong cut his hair short.

Birthday Boi in his Prime pose
Around 9.30pm everyone was about ready to leave
And enjoyable evening no doubt better than last year
I am again exhausted being out the whole day from 8am till 9.30pm with no time to rest.
Saturday -still not yet confirm- flying off to KL for 2 weeks to do some business before I set my future in 1 direction. Time to have my well deserved sleep!!!




a shoutout to Soo of Blizzard.Art
HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Memo# 16 : Toilet Paper 20 cent!!

I am exhausted.

After an inactive weekday, I crammed everything into this one Saturday.

After painstaking discussions on Saturday's barbecue with less than enthusiastic friends, today went well despite only 3 out of our former group members were present
1st Annual Beach barbecue 2005 (Ong,Dan,Me,Kwong,Kong,Soo and Joel)2nd Annual Beach Barbecue , 2006 (Lee,Kelvin Su,Kong,Me,Kwong,Ong,Kew and Ng who is taking the pic)

And presenting our 3rd Annual Beach Barbacue ..
..
..
..
..
..
3rd Annual Beach Barbecue , 2007 (Soo,Ong,Kwong,Me)

As you can see, there are only 3 of us excluding Soo who brought his own classmates.

Sure.. each year we find new ways of improving our barbecue to ensure quality and food remains sandless unlike our first time

2 years ago, we thought the beach provided a place to put our food. We found it out the hard way and had to eat sand covered chicken wings.

But that didn't stop us. We learnt from our mistakes and used a metal wok to put our food.


This year just didn't feel the same.
Most of them were either busy working , in National Service or already have plans for that day.
The spirit and tradition must live on if even through 3 people.

We were supposed to go Kwong's house to play basketball before 8am.
But Ong got up late and I was picking him up. So we only reach there at 8am. Didn't leave us much time to shoot some hoops so went straight to the beach to find Soo.

We tried to get the coal heating at around 8.30am
Only around 9.15am it started getting hot and generating enough heat to cook the food.

There was more smoke than heat. 8 firestarters and not even a decent fire to cook raw meat like chicken wings though sausages only needed thawing.
Soo's group ended up at the other end of the beach so he went there to get them.Got a little bit of heat going so we just cooked some sausages and satays for Kong.
Kong had to leave at 9.30am to meet up with his girlfriend so he ended up only staying for
1 1/2hours .

That left us with 3 of us to 7 of them ..
After I came back from sending off Kong, they merged 2 groups into 1
Our sad little wok was cast aside for a real barbecue pit with airholes beneath to allow combustion.

You could see the coal literally burning red.
But soon afterwards the coal died out and the next round of food wasn't cooked properly.

They tried to restart the fire using coconut husk.
Tearing up the husk and burning it.


Surprisingly the husk burnt slowly and created enough heat to burn the charcoal and get the fire starting again.Around 12pm it was getting hot and planned to go swimming around 4pm in the evening.
But since we had much time to kill, I dropped Kwong at Ong's place and went home to sleep.


Around 4pm I went to pick up Kwong and Ong and on the way pick up Kew and Ng at Kew's house.
Seriously, these guys keep me distracted from driving.

Went to Likas Sports Complex Swimming Pool. The entrance fee was RM5 and RM2 for students.
No one wanted to go into the pool first. Ong doesn't have muscle on his legs. They're so slim and slender.. just like a girl's.
Kwong wore a PINK swimtrunks.. now that's just gay.
Too bad I forgot to bring my camera.

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. That means I have to get up early again.

Oo Ya .. toilet paper 20cent!!!
