Ipoh trip  

the word according to Sharon P


This post is pretty rusty and old ady..So to keep it simple, short and due to d laggy connection..i've collaged most of d photos taken from my trip to Ipoh 2 weeks ago wif my classmates, Jasper and Anson and my darling Wei wei..

Ipoh is all abt FOOD babeh! And be prepared to put on weight after dis trip..we ate 4-5 meals a day..food not to be missed in Ipoh are certainly the crispy bean sprout and chicken (ngai choi kai), curry chicken bread (chi pao kai), salted chicken (yim kok kai), dim sum, midnight ice-cream + fruit ice blended (my fav!), assam laksa and chicken feet! yum! 2 of my frens dare not to try the chicken feet no matter how hard we've persuaded them and telling them how yummy they were..Anson's interpretation on how to eat chicken feet is juz priceless...shud hav recorded it down n put in on Youtube. haha!



Due to all d food consumption, we had to do burn off all those extra calories..we went to a few temples and caves in Ipoh..now i can only remember Gua Perak..d rest forgotten d names ady..but among all, i like d cave wif d 12 animals shapes most..d view thr is so breathtaking and d air is so fresh and cooling..paradise-like..some sort like d Garden of Eden whr in d olden days, holy ppl used to stay there to meditate n pray..we were also supposed to climb one of d caves which would take around 40 minutes but thanks to d rain, we didnt climb it..so glad becoz im afraid of heights, wad to say suffering more than half hours to test my fear..*phew*

All in all, it's a wonderful trip wif great travel friends..looking forward to more trips around west msia again before graduation~~ XD

Lovely fireflies...  

the word according to Sharon P

Sorry for the late posting lately...i've been super busy, not wif my study schedule definitely(coz im having almost stress-free classes), but mostly on my final year project (thesis), ped ass, trip to ipoh, wkends at melaka and frens' bday celebrations...

Anyways, last week my fren brought me to dis place called Kuantan Village at Kuala Selangor, somewhr quite outskirt of KL city, to watch fireflies.. Yea fireflies~~!! I didnt noe it was reli dat far and it took us almost an hour to reach d place..on d way thr we were met wif not once, not twice but THRICE, a herd of bulls and cows chewing on roadside grass, dat looked pretty pissed and mad at us and seemed ready to attack us at any moment..



Thank God we've survived unharmed!! *phew* When we reached the firefly farm, it was dead silent and pretty dark, gloomy surrounding...a pin drop could be heard loud n clear..so we went to the jetty and told the Pakcik we wanted to go for a round and he told us it's RM40 per ride. After wearing the stinky life jacket, we got into the sampan, manually rowed by another Pakcik and started off our journey~~~~ According to him, not as much fireflies would be coming out after a heavy downpour..therefore, dat day it was right after a heavy rain, so d trees wasnt as brightly lighted as it would be..nonetheless, it was still very lovely and amazing..almost fantasy-like..and it's like brightly decorated X'mas trees..one thing to take note is we're not allowed to catch any fireflies wadsoeva ways and bring them home secretly, altho' i have d thought n intention to do so..pif! i've managed to catch a few fireflies and their neon light appears to be greenish yellow. be careful not to press on them coz they r such fragile n soft creatures.


Got dis lovely pic off a website but i've forgotten which d. =.=
So this is the view we saw right there, at that moment.

cool hand bag!  

the word according to Sharon P

BEHOLD! All hail dis cool + cute handbag!! Small, sleek and highly convenient to be carried around...can fit ur hp, make-up, keys, tissue paper, etc etc..





Unzip it and TA DAH!



It doesnt only look nice from d outer but also nice inside out! Got another compartment inside sumore. Cool aye??



Found dis hidden treasure @ KIA...@ RM40+ if not mistaken..see if ur lucky enuf 2 spot it! XP

day before returning 2 KL  

the word according to Sharon P


my short holiday of 2 weeks is finally coming 2 an end..:( not enuf time! too many things 2 do, too lil time..met up wif Ping for lunch and i was longing to hav curry chicken rice but when we reached d place it was sold out d. it was only 12.30 lei. d other stall no nid 2 mention..wud be sold out even earlier. Kch ppl reli like to eat curry chicken rice hor..sheesh!


So we went to Crowne Sq to try out dis Indonesian restaurant called Pondok Laguna. Walk in thru d side entrance of Mr.Ho's Fine Foods and u'll c d restaurant waiting for u directly right in front. Spoiled by choice with their wide selection of menu, we've finally decided to order these:


watermelon + honey dew + milk + froggie egg.
notice on d right is d Indonesian 'achar'. nth compared to our local achar.


my kedondong juice. super nice n refreshing.
(dis is not in d menu, d waitress recommended it)


traditional rice bucket. so unique.


sambal sotong. quite spicy but delish.


grilled fish. very spicy but its nice. HUGE.


crispy tofu + vegetables + spicy sauce. HUGE.


too nice 2 be eaten


everything's reli spicy here. Indonesian food r well known to be spicy. If u can't stand d heat, Pondok Laguna isnt d place for u to be. D place is quite underrated i tink coz d place is reli empty at d time we went. Food is nice and quite cheap as well. Will visit again d nxt time i crave for sth 2 spice up d day. ;)


1st Anniversary  

the word according to Sharon P

Well.. how time has fly! Its already d 1st anniversary since my dear friend has left us & d world. Its hard to believe dat it has been a year now. Yet his face n smile is still so fresh in my memory..and i guess i'm speaking on behalf of all his friends and family members..im sure they felt exactly d same..i guess its how he carry himself n d way he treated everyone he knew..

A poem dedicated to dearly beloved Chong..

Setahun sudah berlalu,
Setahun sudah kau bersama Amitadha,
Setahun kau telah tinggal kami

Namun kami tidak melupaimu,
Namun kami tidak melupai wajahmu,
Namun kami tidak melupai senyumanmu.

Pemergianmu tanpa diduga,
Pemergianmu tanpa kata-kata,

Pemergianmu tanpa kerelaan

Semoga kau dilindungi Amitadha,
Semoga kau sentiasa bahagia,

Semoga kau akan sentiasa gembira.

Kami tidak akan melupaimu,
Kami akan teruskan kehidupan ini,
Kami sedar setiap yang datang pasti pergi jua.


[Written by Mr. Tan (Kuchingtown teacher)]

Short, simple and meaningful. Dat pretty much sums up everything dat we felt from within. ;)



Those hermit crab babies we caught together at Damai...there werent any cool breeze dat night but it was still great fun and an old angmoh couple even tot we were catching real fatty crabs in d dark..haha..but poor babies had to be freed in d end..

time 2 abstain from food  

the word according to Sharon P

....not exactly la. how on earth cud any1 do dat anyways? :P from now on i shall refrain myself from takin high calorie food! jz imagine.. 4 days Raya visiting in a row! i am officially surrendering myself from rendang, kurma, curry, lemang and ketupat.. until nxt yr! ;P

Time-table for nxt sem's out! and it's freakin amazing! Classes from Mon to Sat and best still, we have night classes everyday! On certain days.. night class only for d whole day. *faint* can start my mushroom farm during daytime ady. =.=

Hapi Raya!  

the word according to Sharon P

Selamat Hari Raya to all Malays out there celebrating dis occasion~!!


I'm going for open house visiting 2mr XD..rendang, ketupat, yummy! :P


Finally, i've recovered from flu and cough..which was so torturing for d past few days.. Have to stay away from laksa n all d yummy food. Went to Enter K @ Crowne Square for k session yesterday. dey shud reli update their English songs!! So outdated. And remember to bring ur student card to be eligible for student rate @ RM22 on wkdays. If not mistaken its rm14/16 on Tuesdays.








Thr's dis new bakery cum cafe called Gingerbread House located at same row as d former PBK Tuition Centre at Bormill. N their cheese tart is pretty nice while their Portugese egg tart is sorta weird as its added wif lemon, unlike d normal ones eaten in Malacca, so totally not my cup of tea.



Gotta continue on wif my AutoCAD drawing for my next semester's assignment..
Yea.. i have homeworks - an assignment & thesis (final yr project) due next semester..so i've got lots of work during dis short holiday..pathetic hor! :(
ganbatteh ABD2 students~! ^^

the word according to Sharon P

dis is so beyond outdated but...exams OVAHHH!!! so glad!! XD~~~~ however gotta minus some reasons to c'brate coz i did badly for my last paper. totally disappointed wif d outcome of all d hard memorizing i did last minute. sob sob. and wads worst, i had a super annoying bastard sitting behind me. after looking at d Q paper, he started to curse n swear (out loud). i wanted to change seat badly but thr arent any empty seats left. super unlucky me =.= throughout d entire 2 hrs period of exam, he kept breathing (Out loud again!) wif his stuck-nose-snorting-like sound. along wif some mocking towards d lecturer. beh tahan! so wanna slap/punch him. Everytime i tried to recall wad i've studied, he makes those noises again. n thr goes my thought.. frekkin annoying!

Annoying guy aside, d package dat i've been waiting for weeks has finally arrived yesterday! Super hapi XD

the word according to Sharon P



Both of them are Chow chows, also known as puffy lion dogs in Chinese.. notice d resemblance? read from d internet dat they're a cautious, singular, devoted breed that dislikes strangers and acts very protective and reserved. It's like a well-to-do gentleman that's not outgoing or people-friendly..hmm interesting dog breed indeed!

Went to Ikano's Pet Safari last wkend and saw dis...very blurry though..






Gosh it's freakin' humongous! It's as big as a baby sun bear! A dog owner brought her cute lil shih tzu there for a haircut and d poor lil creature shivered upon seeing d chow chow. D chow chow could easily squashed the shih tzu eh..haha..So if u ever wanna rear a dog + scare ur enemies away from ur house = Chow chow!!


After dat, we went to Segi College, PJ to collect WK's stuffs..while waiting for him...snapped some scenery pics




Such a nice and clean environment aye?? Green wif envy...but it seems very empty and too peaceful..mayb during wkends only la


Rose wanted me to snap dis pic of her driving her new ride..she just bought her new City..1st time see her drive so slow (less than 100km/hr) and extra cautious..:P




Last bit. Good news!! 'They've decided to let Avril perform after all! Surprise surprise! Get ur ticks as soon as possible! As much as i would like to go, i can't! :'( Finals are too near and got plans already by den plus going there would be too inconvenient. Le sigh.

angry!  

the word according to Sharon P

I'm so mad and pissed off at my s2pid thesis Supervisor now! She's Malay for one thing. At 1st i wasnt anything into racism or anyth lidat. But den now, yeah i cud c d differences after discussing & comparing wif my friends' supervisors.

Asked her what is d format for doing our interim report? She's like trying to avoid d question n ask us to do it ourself. SO wtf is dis consultation and u supervising us for? Bloody hell.

After amended everything, I handed-up to her 2day. I've printed d stuffs dat i have amended only coz wads d point printing everything dat is correct all over again? I was re-arranging everything in d order dat our Head, Dr B wanted, and asked from her d previous chapters dat i have submitted and approved by her last week. She was searching here n thr inside her drawer. Then out-of-sudden she go thr nag "Y do i have to do dis arrangement bla bla" I told her "No, i'll arrange everyth for u before submitting". D reason she was nagging was becoz she couldn't find my previous chapters! KNN! And i thought to myself, wad kind of management skills are u implicating here huh?! (She was our management lecturer!)

And today she said my interim report has to include dis n dat. She never mentioned all dis be4! WTf? u thought I'm so free kah? Y didn't u tell me earlier?! I don't mind re-doing it but i mind meeting u so often. We have lots of classes and it's super inconvinient to fit our schedule wif urs.

Does it ever appear in her mind how hard we've tried to managed between our thesis, assignments and study at the same time? D last time, she said i don't have time management. I told her it's d outcome dat matters most. Today since i'm so beh song wif her attitude i ask her to clarify more specifically regarding my time management issue as time management is one of d elements of d assessment criteria. As far as i noe wad i hav completed so far is so much better than d other students under her supervision. All she could do was just 'gong gong' smile thr. tak tahan!

Wondering how can i stand her next sem? :'( Oh God, plz bless me! =.=

Just as expected!  

the word according to Sharon P


Avril Lavigne's Malaysia concert on d 29th August has been called off by our 'Malaysia Boleh' Gov.
