Rebirth ...

2009-02-25T14:50:00.003+08:00

... been stop updating blogs ... due to: 1) Something wrong with the spacing errors on my site 2) Something not right and not what i want 3) And i am so helpless to do anything to fix it ...

Culture shocks ...

2008-11-11T09:03:00.000+08:00

...in Bali (that was almost a month ago ... damn, time really flies!!) ... My first encounter of 'yuck' ... is the food!!! Their nasi campur taste is like peanut-butter mixed with chilis and unknown raw veggie!!! Even by looking at it, all your eating mood is gone ... anyhow, with little choice, and since this Bali-style-of-economy-rice cost me around 40,000 Rp (~RM15) ... i have to gulp it down ... :S My second shock wave is the Balinese people themselves ... majority population here are Hindus and they are really proud on being one ... too proud i guess until, they shunned other races and religion ... eehh .. especially 'i' religion ... Such feeling occured to me during our trip to Bedugul where the sacred Temple of Ulun Danu Bratan (temple itself is located in the middle of a lake) ... ... our driver is a typical-Balinese-Hindu who speak 'fluent' English ... that day, by the time we finish touring the temple, it's already noon, so we planned to have lunch at Bedugul (is a muslim area where most of the people are from Java) ... but our driver insist driving us to somewhere else for lunch ... we were baffled ... somehow, we suggested, why don't he joined us for lunch ... and he gave us the reason ... THE FOOD HERE IS TASTE DIFFERENT ... and he don't like it ... we were totally speechless ... I guessed it's due to the 2 bombing incident that rocked the world which changed their whole perspective on 'i' religion or maybe, he really don't like the spicy food ... whatever we really enjoyed having the Bakso Mee :D

Why I still choose ...

2008-11-06T18:36:00.000+08:00

... to be at Npark ... :D Ever since our current landlord want his apartment back, we were all scrambled and searched frantically around the blocks (there are 4 blocks in Npark), floor-by-floor (there are 32 floors on each blocks), door-by-door (there are 8 units per floor) ... for our new shelter!!! Yes, it's a tedious task and with some unhelpful management staffs (who only offer those 'expensive' unit - fully furnished) ... as well as facing difficulty finding unit owners although there are available units around ... phew ... We did put on notice on the Npark bill board ... even at 7-11 and Happy Mart ... only a handful of agents and 'mou lei' (annoying-illiterate monkeys) called up ... and amazingly, no owner calling us at all!! dammit ... anyway, with little choice, we accept the 'help' from agent ... (of course, will cost us extra ... :S) But why still Npark? ... i think, besides having stayed here for ~4 years and being convenient for us to move our 'stuffs' around ... ... is the feeling of light and cool sea breeze (which i yet to feel from other place - i mean, cheap place :P) .... ... the nice Penang island view everytime i walked to the lift ... ... the wonderful and peaceful view of sunset from balcony, everytime i come back from work ... ...and sometimes, there is rainbow view from my room, and it's totally make my day colourful ... i guess ... again, we make the right choice on insisting staying put at Npark ... :D

One Bali 'Bing', please ...

2008-10-14T00:42:00.001+08:00

... no, there is no such drink available in Bali ... deng!!! But they have some better replacement for me ... hehe .... their most famous local beers ... Bali 'Bing'-tang ... as well as Bali Hai (eehh ... no comment on the name ... :P) Welcome to Bali ... it's not the lost, but last paradise in Indonesia ... (according to local la ... ). Besides their 'very-own-style' culture ... like giant sculpture almost can be seen at every roundabout ... ... a lots of sophisticated yet mind-blowing statues and temples ... ... highly creative woodcarving skill yet 'yellowish' art ... ... beautiful yet over-crowded beaches ... ... and how much they hate TERRORIST... ... i think, i was making right decision to choose Bali as my first destination out of 17,508 Indonesian islands ... (to be continued)

Millionaire ...

2008-10-10T07:00:00.001+08:00

... by the time this blog is scheduled to be blogged, i was already at 'somewhere' becoming a millionaire ... hehe ... ~yes, i am just a Rupiah millionaire~ Supposingly, i am doing spa or visiting some temples or eating some Bali local delicacy ... so, more updates will be uploaded soon ... the earliest, will be on Sunday :D ... ~my very simple travel kit ... opps, forget to include a book and my 3G Sony Ericsson handphone-camera-mp3 ... :P~

Nine Emperors Parade ...

2008-10-08T03:00:00.000+08:00

... when majority people around you start to eat non-meat meal, when you see 'tortoise' bun, when rain falls way too often ... you know, the Nine Emperors Festival is around the corner ... :D ... ... i myself is not a avid fan of Nine Emperors or a vegetarian ... but i was really thrilled when my mum told me that there will be Nine Emperors Parade this year in ipoh ... maybe because it will bring me back to my memory lane ... :D ... it was a sunny Sunday morning ... after breakfast with my parents at ipoh old town area, we walked to the closed street and manage to grab a nice spot ... ~it's already crowded with spectators~ ~the parade started with a 'bang' ... yes, it comes from that annoying gong~ ~some Nine Emperors devotees do some 'man-meat-chopboard' stunt ... even the policemen dare not kacau ... :P~ ~some Chingay giant flagpole head balancing act ... and these guys sikit pun tak gay ... :P~ ~even those vintage Volkwagen collectors took part~ ~... and they are really colourful ... ~ ~... some Mongolian custome make appearance too ... and i wonder why ... :P~ ~... Green Dragon dance ... ~ ~... Red Dragon dance ... and i try to wait for yellow, blue, black, white, purple ... but to no avail ... :P~ ~... special guests from our neighbouring country, Thailand ... Miss Pageant or Miss Ah Gua, i really don't know... :P~ ~... some say geli while some say it's a valour act to clean up one's sin ... this 'stuntmaster' kena cucuk live in front of us ... and it's a real spear ... geng ...~ ~... this cute brassband snear drummer really hot ... no, not that kind of hot ... it's really hot, imagine wearing uniform while carrying a few kilos on your shoulders ... kesian kesian ... her face so red liao ~ ~... they actually posing for some journalist to take photo, somehow, i manage to squeeze in .. :P~ ... some precious lesson i learned from this parade is ... always be a dragon dance group members ... because .... NO UMBRELLA, NO PROBLEM ...

Red Bomb ...

2008-10-07T00:45:00.000+08:00

... this year of 2008, so far, is my most fantastic and full of 'bomb'-astic events ... yes, those 'red bombs' are killing me softly almost every month ... and i believe, it will won't be ceased in many years to come ... let me do some counting ... first attack happened in May where i flew all the way to Tawau, Sabah to my 'daughter' wedding ... ya, Lilin always called me lou dau (although we are just one year apart ...) and that same week, i missed one of my closest Uni-mate's wedding in Ipoh ... sorry Ah Lai ... ~My daughter and her hubby~ ... then came in 2 more bombs on June with another Uni-mate, Tung Meng's wedding at Bagan Serai, Perak and my junior Unimate who i called him adik angkat (these are one of our USM culture to adopt some junior as your younger brother ... i admit, i am not a good tai lor ... :P) ~Tung Meng and his wife ... ~ ~My adik angkat and his cute wife~ ...then i gt invitation on Merdeka Day from Fei Xiang at Klang which i 'skipped' as well as another invitation from Yong Choo at Alor Setar ... no choice, have to ponteng once a while to catch some breath ... :P My ex-colleague, JH Beh too, threw me a surprise on Oct which happened i am not around ... so still able to sim ... haha ... ... but, you can run, you will never can hide ... :S During Raya holiday, one of my best buddies' sister denotated a bomb to me ... 'ka boom' ... yes, early next month ... i will be heading back ipoh ... ~JeeYen and her never-apart-hubby-to-be, Kelvin~ ... it's not the end of the story yet ... for there are 3 more wedding knocking at my door ... Kin Sek's wedding on Nov, Yit Yan & Soon Yang on Dec as well as Chee Sing's .... phew phew phew ... i understand why my si tao po keep asking me to watch '27 dresses' ... i think, i need to have more single, available and not desperate friends ... :P

Floorball tournament ...

2008-09-25T00:33:00.000+08:00

... it's my first tournament ever since joining this new floorball game ... it was played last weekend at Dalat International School ... ~impressive sports facilities available in Dalat ... ~ ... i admit, although i am considered as an 'experience' sportsman, that morning, i have butterflies in my stomach ... phew ... ... you can't blamed me if you were there seeing this ... ~a huge crowd of spectators turnout ... ~ ~... warming up ... that's my helmet gear for GOALIE ...~ ~...yes, that's what i am ... like a guard ...

Special Guest ...

2008-09-05T18:55:00.001+08:00

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Please arrange your foot wear like a decent, educated and civilised person, if you are none of the above, please walk up the stairs, go to the balcony and jump. Clearly you don’t need those pair of legs.

Please replenish the toilet paper when you are the last person to finish it. You are only excused in doing so if you blind, retarded or constipated.

Please turn the tap on whenever you are taking your bath to fill the bath tub with water for the next person to use. Failure to do so will cause SOMEBODY to use your toothbrush to brush off the dead skin of SOMEBODY’s heels.

Please do not leave food particles in the sink after washing the dishes. Failure to do so will cause SOMEBODY to use the same toothbrush to wash the sink.

Please keep away your cup in the designated area like the *tut tut* kitchen. If you can’t do that, follow directions in 1. but land head first.

I understand you are vertically challenged and horizontally endowed so buy a *tut tut* steal ladder and change the *tut tut* fused lights in the house. Be a man.

Please do not kidnap the iron and the ironing board from the living room. Since both are not yours, it is SOMEBODY’s good will to leave it there for ALL to use so *tut tut* respect that before SOMEBODY irons your face straight.

Please do not use the plastic cloth pegs to hold your towel to the railing anymore. Don’t you understand that once broken, twice the idiot you are.

Referring to 8., use super glue instead. SOMEBODY has a tube.

Use umbrella, dry umbrella, keep umbrella. REPEAT.

Please do not throw the cigarette butt in the rubbish bin; you might burn the house down. When you do, SOMEBODY hopes you are sleeping alone. So since you smoke shit, you might as well swallow shit; it is the same thing only in solid form, it makes hunger pangs go away. See…SOMEBODY is thinking for your sake.

You are supposed to be in the house sporadically like a disease, since you are here most of the time all the time, you should help pay the *tut tut* rent. Be a man.

SOMEBODY realized the room you so called ‘sometimes’ sleeps in stinks like you are cultivating mummies. I do not know about your world but my world has this invention called air freshener. It goes ‘psst psst’…try it, it is fun.

You shall keep thy things a.k.a rubbish only in thy room. Enough said.
Please help your girlfriend collect the clothes in when it is raining. SOMEBODY is not a maid; if you think SOMEBODY is one…she’s the kind that kills the employer to make home cooked double boiled soup for the rats.

Ma once told me that you throw your condoms in the rubbish bin for all to see. On that note, please continue doing so although it is unhygienic, use double protection in fact. It scares the bejesus out of me if you ever procreate.

Unfortunately, it is a common courtesy to acknowledge another known human being by exchanging greetings when you accidentally meet face to face. Even animals have their own way and not by moving your head upwards a few times like a rejected dumbass bobblehead doll pleading for a cookie.

Please take out the garbage when it is full. It is a universal rule for man to take out the garbage. Yes, I do not believe in women’s liberation.

Please lock the wooden door if you come back late. Preferably, you may opt not to come back at all. Ever.

Please do not put empty water bottles in the fridge. It would not automatically fill itself up. The day it does, I will kneel and worship the fridge. But until that phenomenal day comes, you would have to do it. If not, up to this point, I hope you just get beamed up by Scotty, get raped by Spock and be Capt. Kirk’s bitch.

With no offence and prejudice, thank you for reading…if you can read, that is.

p.s. Remember about you being mentally challenged to put back your cup in the kitchen after use? I think I’ll use it to deposit the double boiled soup. Thank you.

Osim-less chair ...

2008-09-05T18:50:00.000+08:00

30 Ways to ...

2008-09-04T20:46:00.000+08:00

... die sooner than others ... or put this way, die secara sihat (sound more positive :P) ... come across this article from ... http://www.thesun.co.uk/... out of 30 ways recommended, these are a few i found 'useful' ... :P 1. HAVE SEX: It lowers cholesterol, boosts blood circulation and releases feel-good endorphin hormones. And do it in the morning – your blood-sugar levels are low then, so the body converts fat stores into energy. (i wonder if going to 'masterbed'-room counted or not ... :P) 4. READ UPSIDE DOWN: Challenging the brain extends the cells’ lifespan so increasing life expectancy, say researchers. (sure or not ... later my eyes power go up how ah... ) 9. EVERYBODY SALSA: All dancing is good but with salsa you’ll burn at least 420 calories an hour. (i think i have to learn dancing liao ... never see katak doing salsa before ... :P) 10. GET MARRIED: A 20-year study found that married men typically live three years longer. (some would rather live 3 years less than losing whole life freedom ... haha ... no no, i am not referring myself ... :P) 11. DON’T CONFORM: You’ll live longer if you do not worry about the opinions of others. It makes you less stressed. (this, i think is the truth-est truth ... if we live scaring how others see us, it's not our life anymore ...) 13. DON’T JUMP: Sudden noise, like the loud ringing of an alarm clock, can increase the risk of a heart attack in people with high blood pressure, says a Japanese study. This is because it triggers the body’s “fight or flight” response, pumping up levels of adrenaline. (damn ... i always use to do that ... time to throw away my alarm clock ... :P) 14. DO THE CHORES: Cleaning windows uses 80 calories in 20 minutes, vacuuming will burn 90 calories and ironing will burn 65 calories in the same time. Being fit and lean prolongs your life. (ladies, now you got a reason to ask your partner help out ... don't worry, i always love to do chores ... :D) 16. LEARN SOMETHING NEW: Many people who have reached their 100th birthday say it is down to learning to play an instrument or a new language, says Dr Roger Henderson, author of 100 Ways To Live. (i gt my plan already ... if i safely reach 70, i will learn Spanish ... then at 75, i will learn cooking ... later at 80, i will get a mistress ... and before 85, i will die liao la ... killed by my first wife ... :P) 18. SLEEP: But not too much. A study published in the US Archives Of General Psychiatry found people who get six to seven hours’ sleep a night live longer than those who sleep more – or less. (it's my lou peng yau's favourite 'sports' ... now you gt licence to become ^@^ ... ) 19. GET A PET: Owners of cats and dogs are less stressed and have lower blood pressure. (but make sure it's outdoor lor ... i hate those owners who sleep with their pets leh ... imagine if they bangsai and siu pien inside their room ... how to stay longer ah ... do it outside ya ... :D) 28. ENJOY YOURSELF: No, it's not an excuse to head off to the pub, but doing things you enjoy, like shopping, are just as good for your health as physical exercise, says a Harvard University study. (yupe, i am definitely die very healthy liao ... cause i am enjoying writing all this shit in my blog ... HAHAHA ... :P)

MoonCake Frenzy ...

2008-09-03T00:05:00.000+08:00

...every year ... after the Hungry Ghost Festival is over, the fullest moon of the year will appear.... :D ... yes, it's Mooncake Festival .... as Chinese tradition, have to buy some for family and Khee's family or even friends and colleagues ... (no more giving friends and colleagues liao cause it's no longer an 'in' thing to do so ... they will say you so 'uncle aunt' liao ....and more important, it's not cheap, ok ...and they are not worth it ... haha ... :P) ~why translate as oversea leh ... should be sea over sky, right ... :P~ ~now i understand what is 'variety is the spice of life' ...both flavour and price~ ~i thought chinese dynasty has ended ... damn, it's so expensive, i wonder what's inside the cake ... maybe the real Moon~

Cheers ...

2008-08-28T22:22:00.001+08:00

Banana Leaf ...

2008-08-24T23:00:00.001+08:00

... remember the first time i was introduced to this Indian 'very spicy' food by my buddy, in which he called 'banana leaf' ... then, i wasn't a fan of Indian food, to be honest, before i came to Penang until Nasi Kandar, Maggi goreng and all the roti-roti becoming my 'supper companion' ... So once a while, i will come over here ... to get the mixture of Morro, Rasam and Dhall curry ~Passion of Kerala ... no idea what Kerala mean ... ~ ~A Veggie Set with crunchy papadom, cucumber, don't knw what, biji nangka and pumpkin~ ~Side Dishes ... Fried Sotong and Chicken Masala (Trouble Chicken??)~ Some tips on table manners ... :D It is important to fold the banana leaf after the meal ... but the question is ... which way should we fold ... paiseh-ly to admit, i usually fold the leaf towards me which is terribly wrong ... you should fold it the other way which show your compliment to the food and chef ... because it mean, "I WILL BE BACK ... " :D ~Such way of folding meants for funeral purpose ... i think is the opposite meaning of "i will be coming back" ... :S~

So after work, i start my chok hunting ... after agak-agak arrived around that area, i spotted this stall ... but i am not sure whether selling chok or not ... so, i went to investigate ... ~hawker boss uncle was jampi-ing~ Dammit!!It's all in mandarin ... the only words i understood was tabao (somemore gt translation mah ... take away) ~got sell chok or not ... don't joke la ... i jz want chok~ So, i went to ask the aunty assistant (since the boss was still busy jampi-ing) Me: Ni you mai chok mah?? (broken mandarin) Aunt: ???? ... lu ai moi, tu, ... (a string of unfamiliar hokkien words) Me: ...eeehhh .... ta bao yat bao chok ... (die die use cantonese) Aunt:???? .... lu ai moi, tu (repeating the same powerful hokkien mantra) Me: .... (-_-)||| .... (should i just cabut ...) As i was preparing to berundur, come my hero who save my day ... it's the BOSS!! Boss: (finally, finish his jampi-ing) ... Nei ooi ta bao chok, hai mai (you want take away, is it ... of course, in cantonese) Me: .... (deng, you know how to speak cantonese ...walao, speak early ma) ... hai, ng yiu nooi chong (yes, don't want organs) From that moment of paiseh, i determined to kick my Mandarin ass up ...

Unknown Sports ...

2008-08-06T13:39:00.000+08:00

From the beginning of the year 2008, one of my resolutions is to learn new sports game ... all the while ... futsal, football, squash, swimming, badminton, bowling and pingpong are my only way to shed a few kilos, until ... ~preparing for outdoor futsal~ One day, one of my best buddy called me up and asked me if i "uh eng boh" (free or not) and want me to try a new sports game called ... floorball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball) The reason he gave, tak cukup kaki ... (that's ... what friends for ...@#&$% ) So, i gave a try ... even with zero knowledge on this game ... and a day before the training, i just type floorball at googles, wikipedia and youtube and do some 'sub-conscious mind' research ... well, at least not to embarassing myself mah ... It is exactly the same thing like ice-hockey; the only differents are there is no ice and players need not to wear skate. Since i never watched how ice-hockey played before, i just imagined playing like our hoki way ... but it's not easy and the hardest part, as usual, is how to control the light-soft-hollow-plastic ball with your stick, i mean, the long-plastic-floorball stick!! And i am still struggling with it ... so, wish me good luck ... :D ~we played at badminton court~

My Dinner at TGI ... a special one

2008-08-04T08:20:00.000+08:00

It was a special dinner with Khee, San, SiewB, Ervin and Mavis at TGI last week They choose TGI, i think, is because of its unique decoration, enviroment and most important ... it's 'special' way of celebrating ... BIRTHDAY!! First, they gave you 'cute' balloon ... with the impromptu cartoon drawing by one of their staffs called Alfred. Of course, one of them got my name on it ... but very paiseh la, adult already and they asked me to hold the balloons for the entire night!! Then came their tradition way of celebrating ... they will shout out loud ..."Who's in the house" a few times ... and you have to stand up on the chair with all the staffs surrounding you ... giving you a 'virtual microphone' and ask you to sing a song ... After that, they will sing you a birthday song with 'weird' tempo ... make a wish and finally blow the cake from a meter away ... phew ... The cake, was bought by my gang ... it's Baskin Robbin's Fudge Crunch cake :D (well, everyone can't stop themselves before i manage to get a proper shape photo) That was my second cake of the day as earlier on, i went out lunch with my ex-colleagues at Tsuruya Japanese restaurant. May, CT and HP presented Jenny's cake for both me and Vivi. These are some of the presents i received from my friends ... :D

Eason Chan new album ... LISTEN TO EASON CHAN

2007-11-18T00:04:00.000+08:00

I have been waiting for his new album released for quite some times after our local radio started to air 2 of this songs i.e. Crying in the Party and Yeen Cheung Wui (Concert) back to few weeks ago. Out of 11 songs, 3 of them is really catching my attention and they are ... Mario Party, Flash and Concert Live Gig ... these are not those normal K songs that can be 'tuned-in' easily ... I think, I will need some times to memerise the lyrics as well as the melody ... it's party-like type of tempo ... relaxing and make your body shake automatically :) Besides, one of the most breakthrough in this album is ... there is no lyric ... wtf ... I believe his company want to save cost as well as enviroment (heck, I am sure everyone will download and then print it out themselves ... so ... what's the different!!) ... these is the site where you can get the official lyric, updates, preview etc ... http://umg.com.hk/ At least for this end year, I have some new songs to practise for my karaoke session :P ...

My HongKong trip (Day 1 continue ...)

2007-09-05T22:03:00.000+08:00

After settled down, it's time for exploring ...

Since we were staying in Causeway Bay (HK Island) and it's already 2pm, we decided to hunt for food!! Just along the street, we found this ...

Always wonder what these 'curry fishball' taste like ... look yummy as shown frequently in HK drama. Well, maybe expectation too high ... it's nothing special as the curry only at the surface not within the fishballs itself. Anyhow, it just cost us HK$5 per stick with 5 fishballs.

Continue our food hunting and we end up eating fish noodle near the area. Cost us around HK$35 per bowl and tell you what, it's damn huge and it's pretty delicious!!! One thing about the HongKongies practise are 'table-sharing' since all of the shops and restaurants are not that spacious. So, if you are a slow-eater or small-amoun-eater, you better share with your food among your friends or you can feel those waiting-customers 'blaring' ...

Full stomach mean happy stomach .. so we walked around and arrived at Chung Wan ... it's where the main branch of HSBC located as well as all the famous banks and property tycoons' office ...Bank of America, Li Ka-Shing building, HK Administration, etc ...

About 15-20min walk from Chung Wan MRT station, we reached ThePeak, the famous HK view ... you need to pay HK$33 for a tram ride and within 10min, you will reached the peak of The Peak!!

Yeah, that's the night view everyone waiting for ... across the sea, is the Kowloon!!

It's been few hours since our last meal, so our stomachs started to give us 'emergenc call' ... time to hunt for food, but first, we need to travel back to Causeway Bay from Central (Chung Wan)... luckily, it's just 3 stations away!!

For simple dinner, we ate 'Den Dan' (soft-cooking eggs) plus BBQ burger. It cost us around HK$50 for two.

Anyhow, in order to prevent our stomachs from 'going riot', we ate 'Wun Chai Chi' (Shark fin bowl) before we called it a day!!!

How Do I Get Started ....

2007-08-28T21:44:00.000+08:00

I searched through Wikipedia by typing 'blog history' and found that blog were introduced as early as 1980s but modern blog only evolved from 1994 onwards and till now ... well, figured it yourself ... :) So, I thought for being lagged 13 years behind, it's still not too late to start 'blogging' .... I put this ('') between the word blogging because: blog, blogger, blogging were not found in Cambridge Dictionary!!!! The closest meaning they have is 'bloggs' or actually Joe Bloggs which mean an average or typical man ... Think about it again, maybe that's the reason why I started 'blogging' late .... :P hehe

Children are ‘colour blind’ until they reach Tingkatan 1??

2007-08-28T21:41:00.001+08:00

This article from Screenshots (Jeff Ooi’s blog) caught my eyes as well as hit my heart!! It’s so true and sad to admit it caused I have gone through this before …. I was enrolled to co-ed SRK (Malay+Eng Ed) primary school when I was 7 years-old. Both my elder sister and brother were in SRJK (Chinese Ed) while my second sister go to all-girls SRK (Eng Ed). I think, my mum’s intention was to build a ‘trully Malaysia ’ culture at our home. Although my sister did teach me to write and read mandarin, but I couldn’t ‘catch’ any of them. A little stroke here and there will make the whole words meaning change tremendously. I thought to myself then, what the heck, english alphabet only gt a-z and that’s relatively easy to remember. But now, I regretted for not learning up the Mainland China’s mother tongue language. Well, talk about my own experience during my day at primary school, I must admit, it’s the best in my childhood memory!! I still remember my first day (back to 1987) at school. I was seated to the front row (due to my height) and next to me was a Malay girl called Murni. Seating opposite me was Erna and the malay boy next to her is Salleh. And there is another chinese guy who called Yuen Yew was seated next to Murni and a chinese girl, Choon Wei seated next to Salleh. That’s the structure of our classroom then … 2(row)x3(column) with of us facing each other. Our form teacher was the friendly lady called Cikgu Kamsiah. I remembered her well because I ‘adored’ her so much (nope, she isn’t young and sexy but a 40 something married lady). She taught me a lot of things (tatatertib and kesopanan) and I ‘manja’ her very much. She appointed a tall and slim Indian girl, Geeta ( we used to tease her and called her ‘guitar’ …) as our ‘ketua darjah’. While Safie was appointed as ‘penolong ketua darjah’. We have about 40 students and our class was called ‘1 Chempaka’ (1 mean standard 1 while Chempaka is flower name as there are others classroom are called Dahlia, Ros, Anggerik, etc) I always looking forward to go to school then and I never miss or 'ponteng' (play truant). That time, I don’t understand why there are students want to ponteng cause for me, schooling is already ‘a given permission to play’ unlike at home where playtime is limited. :P Back then, I was only managed to speak 2 languages, whenever I talked with teachers and my Malay or Indian classmates, or the ‘kacang putih’ seller, I spoke B.M. (every now and then, they change the ‘M’ with Malaysia or Melayu .. and I am not sure why they change at the first place!!) with them. Whenever I am at home or speaking to my chinese classmates, chinese vendor who sell ice-cream and noodles, I spoke cantonese. I picked up my BM quite fast and well; and I always scored 100% during ‘ejaan’ (spelling) but one word, this little one word really killing me that time … it’s ARNAB!!! In English, it mean rabbit. I always mispelled them because I was confused between the ‘b’ and ‘d’. I remembered my BM paper was 98 mark and the only mistake I made is ‘arnad’ … my mum scolded me for the whole damn day like I had killed someone!!! Although I scored pretty well in BM, English and Alam & Manusia (it’s a Science paper) papers but my Maths was suck!!! Well if I compared with my sisters and brother!! They can memerized all the ‘sifir’ (multiplication) from 2x2 till 12x12!!! I always stuck half way till 7 or 8. And I have problem reading the time from the analogue clock!! My eldest sister was my tutor in Maths and the worst part is, my mum gave her authority to ‘rotan’ (wipe) me whenever I make mistake!! I am not sure is it differences in the teaching method at SRJK and SRK that caused me so ‘dumb’ in Maths or it’s my own ‘number’ problem. Still, I am glad that my sister ‘guided’ me … or else, I can’t even enrolled myself in Double Maths during my high school :D. During recess period, we were not allowed to stay in class or do our homework. ( I believe that’s the way they reduce the stress from kids). Since I always bring my own food, I will normally sit outside the classroom along the corridor with my gang and ate our bread, biscuits, kuih-muih or muruku!! My mum didn’t give me any ‘allowance’ to spend at the canteen, so after we finish our meal, we will start our ‘game’. Anything, we created any games just to occupy our time while waiting for the second bell to ring. We played ice-cream stick, rubber band, guli (marble), card game (ali-baba, happy family), gasing (it was made illegal in school later because the ‘paku’ (nail) at the bottom seem like a potential deadly weapon from the eyes of the adults, but as for us, what we can see was the ‘paku’ can cause the gasing spin!!! … ), pepsi-cola (shoes stamping), kala-panjang, AEIOU, and many more. At that time, I was so fluent in BM that occassionaly I was mistaken as a Malay boy (due to my dark skin and big eyes as well). And most of my friends are malays. My mum was so freak out that she feared that one day I will married a malay girl and turn into a muslim!!! Anyway, that time, I always convince my mum by saying that, I still love all your ‘pork’ cooking, how could I turn my back on that :P … and I don’t like the idea of ‘allowing’ man to have 4 wives while the wife only allow to have one husband .. not fair mah, although the idea is quite tempting!!! Still majority of my classmates from Standard One – Six were brilliant Malay whereby many of them are fighting for the top performance with the Chinese. At that time, after Standard 3, we were seperated according to our merit achievement. Those who were top40 will grouped into one class called 4 Ungu (Purple) and then followed by Merah (Red), Kuning (Yelow), Hijau (Green) and finally Jingga ( Orange ). I was lucky to be in top40(thanks to my strict parents as well as my fierce big sister) , so here I go, to the Purple class. Let me try to recall my classmates name (as many as possible .. that’s 1992) … Ah Yu, Yit Hong, Wai Yee, Kah Hoo, Aisrin, Siew Lam, Yiu Hun, Geeta, Azlinda, Hartini, Syarif, Sharil, Choon Wei, Thoo Leem, Chung Yi, Sui Loong, Hamdan, Johnson, Peter, Kelvin, Boon Keong, Abdullah Sani, Irwin, Swee Keong, Norazlina, Hamid, Han Guang, Jeeva, Yaacob's son …. ( I think I miss out some and added in some from other class as well .. you see, there are buggers who loved to ‘lepak’ around our class .. that’s why I still remember their names but luckily, not their faces …hehe). Anyway, how I wished that I have the group photo to publish here ... too bad, camera and photos are not cheap at that time ... Obviously we are all ‘colour blinded’ … we don’t really care what race you are, all we care is how fun to be with you. If you are arrogant or ‘hidung tinggi’, you don’t expect to have many friends to hang around. Even if you are from poor or rich family, it doesn’t matter, caused the exam result will speak itself. You can’t buy or beg for a good result to join the elite class. If a small group of classmates make noise, the whole class will be wiped if get caught by our most fearsome, disciplinary teacher, Cikgu Musa. His ‘rotan’ (whip) never leave his hand, whenever he strolled pass any classrooms, one can felt immediate silence … no matter who you are, where you from, what you made of, how you come to school, when is your birthday, why you don’t understand … if your class is ‘bising’ (noisy) .. all of us will have to stand on the chairs and gt a nice whip on our hands …. It’s really super damn painful!!! The best part is … no parents will come forward complaining the next day, or next week or the following years … because no one dare to tell our parents about it. In those day, you whipped mean you are naughty or mischieving (even though you are innocent)… and if you tell your parents, you might end up having ‘bonus’ whip from them as well. So, to play safe, we keep our mouth tightly shut!! That’s was the time in primary school … Once I graduated with 2A’s and 2B’s in my pocket on the annual UPSR exam, I proceeded to ‘Tingkat Satu’ (Form One) … and there is where my culture shock began …. It’s the first time, I was mixed together with the Chinese Ed students from the other SRJK primary schools. It’s simply a different way of making friends. Their aggression in order to do something is tremendously different from the way I used to be in SRK experience. No matter in studies, sports or organizing functions, they are always hunger for information and success. It’s like either you do it, you must do it very well, or else forget about it. You can’t be do it half-way or else, you are a let-down to them. And one more thing that impressed me the most was their Maths skills. They are incredibly fast and precise ... and I wonder .. .what's went wrong in SRK!! So here is where 'colour blind' disease cured ... you will start to realize that ... Malay, Chinese and Indian don't mixed around anymore ... they are still some, but not as much as we see in my primary school time ... it's weird and shocking!! Everyone seem to be divided into small political party ... UMNO, MCA and MIC ... and there is no BN to combine us all ... everyone will has their own activities, clubs and interests ... it's really sickening scenerio ... is it because we can only be 'colour blind' when we are innocent-primary pupils ... why there is this invisible fence keeping us away from each other ... Even my close Malay friends from primary school shunned me ... our friendship turn from 'lot of talking' to 'hi-smile-bye' ... it's sadly true to admit that although we are already 50-years old, we got a long long way to achieve a trully Malaysia culture among us ...

TeamBuilding Day ...

2007-08-08T19:10:00.000+08:00

It's been 2 years since my company holding a teambuilding ... so after some weeks of preparation from volunteered-committee-members, we head to Botanical Garden this morning ... We have 6 group competing with each other. We got Coco Rock (Brown), Happy-Go-SiaoSiao (Orange), Autobots (Blue), Noisnaps (White), Voltron (Yellow) and Power Rangers(Red). I was in orange team and out of 8 games, we won once and become 2nd place twice.But still we couldn' wrestle the first place from Coco team. They won and took back a huge hamper!!! While second place go to Blue team and they took back a smaller hamper. Game#1: Everyone who is below 25-year-old will worth 50cents while those age range from 26-30 will worth 20cents and lastly for those above 30-year-old will only worth 10cents. So the game master will shout out a price, let's say RM1.80, so group members will need to form the exact amount of money. The fastest and those with more people combination will win this game. Game#2: Every team will have the same amount of cans and a tennis ball. We need to step back at least a feet from the piles of cans and ball; forming a line. Each members can only move or stack the can. Whoever complete stacking (at least 3 can height) the fastest will win. But here the trick, we are allowed to throw the ball at our opponent 'stacked cans'. You can only either stack or throw the ball at one time. Game#3: Watermelon eating contest. It sound easy but it's far more difficult if you are blinded-folded and you are not holding it yourself. Your team member will hold the melon at their backside/ass while you are to chew the melon or accidently chew your member's hands or ass!!! Again, the fastest team to clean up the melons in the tray win!! Game#4: It's all about your orientation and coordination. Each of the members need to circle the umbrella with your head pointing at it tips. After 5 round, you need to run across the field to arrange the can and stack them. Whoever the fastest complete the stacking, win. Game#5: Litarel thinking required. Every group will be given 4 string (1 feet each), 4 ruberband and 4 straws. Our task is to remove an empty bottle from a drawn circle with these 'equipments'. No one will allow to enter the drawn circle area. Figure it out ... Game#6: Water filling. We were given 5 balloons, a sponge, empty bottle and a pail of water. We need to store the water into the sponge and walk across the field where the empty bottle located with 2 team members at a time. It's not easy if both of them need to put their balloon between their legs, arm and each other head. Game#7: Chewing bubble-gum! While wearing a pair of oversize gloves, we need to peel open the small chewing gum and chew it. And then blow it. Sound simple, but you can try it. Game#8: It's spontaneous game! Kind of ice-breaking game. The gamemaster will shout out, everyone line up accordingly to our surname. And then, we need to run all over across the field. Whoever the fastest, will win.

My HongKong Trip (July 2007)

2007-08-05T20:17:00.000+08:00

Day 1(16th July 2007): Safely arrived at Macau International Airport after a 3hour 45min trip from KL at around 10:30am. Manage to get some small change at money changer in the airport with RM50, you can get 105MOP (make sure you get enough small change). Boarding a transportation bus (AP1) which charging 3.30 MOP per person and additional 3MOP per luggage. The bus will be by passing Macau-HongKong Ferry Terminal (Please take note that you must tell the bus driver where are your destination). It’s just a 20min trip or less. (for more info, check this out: http://www.macau-airport.com/en/v01/02_local_buses.php At the ferry terminal, the sales ticket booths are located on the first floor. We took TurboJet with single trip cost us 142MOP per head. We bought 11:45am tickets, but missed them due to long queue at the custom checkpoint. Luckily, we were allowed to take the 12noon trip. It’s a comfortable and smooth sailing ferry ; and we reached HongKong around 1pm. After clearing the custom checkpoint, we went straight to the MTR station. Fyi, HongKong ferry terminal is situated at Sheung Wan (blue line) MTR station which located inside a shopping mall. We bought a one day trip MTR ticket for HKD50. You can use them unlimitedly for 24hours and the MTR operate from 6am-1midnight. Well, we save the hussle-tussle lining up to buy single trip or topping up the Octupos card. Quite a convenient investment. Since we are staying at Alisan Guest House in HongKong Island (for more info, check this out: http://home.hkstar.com/~alisangh/) , from Sheung Wan station, we dropped off at Causeway Bay station which is still in the blue line. Taking exit D2, we came across a narrow and busy street called Lockhart St. We took a left turn and at the T-junction after 50m, we walked into the Cannon St. Walking along these street, you will find 7-eleven, Mannings (guardian in Malaysia) and President theater/cinema. After bypassing the cinema, you must be seeing this entrance as shown:

It's a typical-drama-like HongKong old building style where you need to press some 'secret' code (given once you check-in). But for the first-timer, you need to press 5th floor and someone will told you what you should do. Their building-guard or so called 'hon kan' (in cantonese mean night-watcher) will let you in. The rate is differ from season to season as well as room type. To get first hand info, the best is emailing or call direct to the guest house owner, Tommy.

So coming next will be exploring Causeway Bay and Hongkong Island :)
