27/6/09



The day both of us will remember for as long as we live.

Pictures speak a thousand words no?


Melaka Part 2


Unsatisfied with our first Melaka trip during the term, we ventured to the land of historical interests once again and this time a 2 day1 night trip.

Stayed over at Seng Meng's house during the trip and credits goes to his parents for allowing 4 of us to bunk in, also thanks to the everlasting supply of food which we couldnt finish @@, but it was really good seriously. Thanks alot! =D

So starting off, originally the plan was only for 1 car to go, which comprises of randall, ti meng, lin and myself, but seen cheow and co decided to come along last minute, which also made us late by few hours. *hint hint*

We were supposed to leave at 10, but ended up leaving at 12 which caused a slight but harmless delay, after all, a few hours really doesnt make a difference if ur staying the night.

Macho Policeman with Gui Gui =/

The trip took around 1 hour plus, because we had to stop for a while to let Randall's car to cool down. He exceeded the speed limit of the car itself which is set at 163 by going 180. Awesome speed, but didnt manage to keep it up until we reached our destination hahaha..

Reached Melaka around 2 If im not mistaken, having some delays stated above. First stop, chicken rice ball round 2! This time it was actually nicer, maybe because it was after the lunch rush hour already.

Same shop, Same dish, Different taste.



After eating, durian cendol, but didnt eat at this hour, didnt have the appetite for it. Others ate it though.

After cendol, headed to seng meng's house to pick him up, and headed to his family farm to pick fruits. wo0t.

Randall plucking rambutan @@

Enjoying the fruits of labour

After that, went to another farm, got bitten by freaking alot of mozzies, came back with a basket of fruits and went back to freshen up before having dinner. By that time it was already close to 6 or 7.

Satay celup for dinner, though being my first time eating it, I didnt kinda find anything special about it, maybe its just me.

But the Q for it was freaking long and the restaurant was filled with people. Fortunately, we managed to get a table within minutes


The long Q

The array of satay



Dip in!

PiPi, Seen Cheow, Eugene, Meng

Dear, myself

Seng Meng, Randall

Basically that sums up dinner, sort of, later on went to more food around the end of Jonker Street, Seen Cheow was still hungry. soooo...noodles for him.

Kao Kao big eater @@

Went back home a while to grab some durian, and went out to find accomodation for Dai Lou and all, and managed to find a decent place at only rm90/ night. Took some beers from Seng Meng's house, spent the night chor dai di-ing and abit of booze. Went back around 1 + and sleep!

Next morning woke up at 11 left around 12, jonker street time. Had brunch at history cafe, or what was it called.




The food was pretty nice, kinda liked it. Went for cendol, yet AGAIN. Cant remember how many times edi.

But this time, we became small kids for a while by playing with the thingy.






Once everyone had their share of cendol, left the place, dai lou and co went back, and we proceeded to watch transformers at 4.15

Wo0t Awesome show, a must watch.

Okay I lazy edi. Went back Seng Meng's house for vegetarian yee sang, damn nice. thanks auntie!!


Greedy meng finishing it all.

Had Ikan bakar later on for dinner, but wasnt very good anyhow, just so-so. All Randall's fault, every good shop close when he comes with his car.

That sums up Melaka Trip~

Last but not least, ghey act in Melaka, sigh~

Kenot help wan ar this two.


All words post, Skip if you want to.


I know I have been lazy, hehehe..but anyhow Ill just slowly update you guys lar.

Term 4 has ended, and Ill be starting my training in Elcerdo soon enough. (which is tomoro actually)

Alot of things had been done during my 1 week holiday and today will be the last day. Its also the reason why Im lazy to update, because ive been going out like as though home isnt home anymore.

But it was all worth it, every single moment of it, all the effort and time, really paid off.

Ill start with a summary of term 4.

I started term 4 pretty reluctantly, knowing that I had a little problem getting myself up to be motivated again. I had personal problems and pretty much the main reason that blasted me down under for the first few weeks.

I started to gain back my momentum after a few weeks of emo-ing. I was pretty much down and a loner, but I started to join back the crowd with others after a while, and I thank you guys for giving me a chance, even though it may seem small or big to some, a chance is still a chance. I appreciate it alot.

Things changed alot for me. Ive learnt to be more dependant on myself, Ive manage to pick up from where I left my happiness, I managed to catch up and set my priorities on what needs to be done and what has to be chucked away. I realized that, regardless of the time, I knew I had to move on, I knew I had to make the initiative, or fail terribly in the coming weeks.

Throughout the busy days of term 4, Having 11 subjects and almost 20 assignments, it was hell, but we managed to pull it off and as well as having being able to prepare for exam considerably providing that it was all "ala minute" work. There were ups and downs here and there, but hey, that's the way life is, I guess I can do no other than to face the fact and continue with what is more important.

Things started to pick up its pace by mid term. It went haywire where alot of assignments were given to us and to be completed in such a short dateline, we managed, but we certainly went through shitty experiences and really really last minute work. Even up to 20 minutes before submission dateline. *Hint Hint* Ngap =p.

Putting that aside, term 4 was not only about studies, it was about having fun, going out for meals, going out for games, movies, Melaka, this that this that, I cant even recall on how many trips already, but it was fun and is probably because of that, it makes us who we are known as.

Coming to an end of the term, I realised that I finally found her. That one person who made my heart flutter again. That one person whom I am willing to put all my efforts into, that one person whom Id sacrifice my time for, that one person who puts a smile on my face everytime when Im with her and you know who you are =)

Sigh, Im missing you already.


Next : Melaka Trip.

WTF moment.

A guy who treated women no different from men,

Just a story


As a lady took a stroll down the streets, thumping on her sleek yet vicious heels,

Turning heads with ease, she weaved through the busy walkway of town,

Clad in a vivid dress, accompanied with astonishing accesories,

From beneath her gracious feet, right up until her lucious flowing hair,

An absolute harmony was displayed amongst her,

making the word beauty itself, deemed disgraceful for her standards.


Heaven sent not, she pounded extreme arrogance to any soul that approached her,

Sparing no one, but herself whom in her thoughts was queen of all.

However, as the clock ticked away into the abyss, Queen of all, became Queen of none.

The feel of being alienated proved her stubby demeanor to be abrupt.

As she slowly mingled along with the folks, tongues of fire were stabbed right back at her,

sustaining revengeful acts of whom she neglected earlier on, she broke and fell

Only to realize, there was no one to blame, noneother than her own foolish character.


As she had experienced one of her most onerous moments,

Waking up from her deep slumber of her true composition,

She dropped everything behind her,

Leaving not gold, not silver, but only herself as she lowly bowed down to earth,

To be the one and only individual she ever had possessed,

and finally finding her life back amongst the people whom she really loved and cared for.



Original story by Zhi Lin.


Quote of the day :

We learn from mistakes no?


Had to become a commis today for a few seniors. Basically its about restaurant management, whereby its split into 4 parts.

We await thy command!

1. Training.
2. Sales and negotiation.
3. Evaluation.
4. Techniques.

Training involves the trainer ( senior ) to train us, commis, one on one based on the topic or question given.

Sales and negotiation involves the senior and jury, try to sell something about an event or buffet thingy.

Evaluation is whereby Commis do Trainer Evaluate thing. Self explainatory.

Techniques is where by the senior performs a certain required task and solo. We watch only wan.

Its a good learning process, but however it was pretty dry..or should I say VERY dry. I wan crack jokes with the seniors also cannot..Sien @@. Got pretty bored after going around for a few sessions.

One of the senior, he was quite good.

I didnt bother to snap pretty much pictures because it was sooooooooo dry, so I just snapped a few while I could. Pretty much I was just running around helping to be a "good" commis and to learn some new stuff.

Came to my final training session I got quite lazy, opening white wine. Ice bucket also I never take, hantam only~

However I did manage to see some nice fruit presentations, I likey.

Plate 1

Plate 2

Pretty much that was all, I know the final exam stress was there, until one of my seniors actually didnt read the question properly, whereby he needed to plate 2 plates but he plate only 1. So marks gone there, sad sad.

Cant help but just to stand there in silence while watching him to his task. =/

Sorry man. lol.

Mischa B cup grew into C oredi.

To sum it up, a good learning experience, but pretty much quite tiring @@. Maybe its just that I havent been standing for one straight duration for a long time.

Blardy Mahdi

Quote of the day:

There's no point sulking over spilled milk.


Ever had a "potong stim" moment when you were fully energized to do something really much?

Ever had the motivation so much to do something and to be only for the hopes of performing to be shattered?

It happens from time to time, and it sucks.

Therefore Ill just dedicate this post to my very good friend of mine.

Bloody MAHDI I WAN MY BBALL BACK LAAAAAAAAAAAA.

and for god sake reply my sms and msn.

Penang Food Tour

posted by simen

As promise, here's the update for my first (their second) Penang Food Hunting tour.
We both family - mine and neighbour - headed into Penang island separately, thus lunch is not counted in the tour.

3pm - Terminator Salvation

Long-nya...ticket tu. 9 ppl.

Jeng jeng jeng JENG~~~


(After the show ended)

Jiali: Owh...show finished...so it should be 3++pm.

**Give her the O.O look**


Jiali: Show starts at 3pm....ended at 5pm...wooahhh...it's a 3HOURS show!!!!

**Faint~~~~**



5pm - Karipap and roti jala with curry chicken

Suppose to be our first stop, but too bad cause it's a PH and its a weekend, so that fella is taking a break too! Yes this fella sells on the spot made karipap, with chicken, sardin, potato filling to choose from, and wadek~ A kind of indian deep fried cake made of dhall, onion, dried red chili and some indian herbs and spices. Not many people appreciates that though. Nvm...less ppl to fight for it with me. =p


5.30pm - Penang New World Park hawker center.

This hawker center is newly built about 2years plus ago, switching all the road side stalls into a cleaner and brighter environment, also to project a healthy image. Few of the stalls are pretty famous. They used to be my childhood afternoon tea first option =D





Among those delicasies are ice kacang, cendol, chee cheong fun, bak chang, chai kuih and yam kueh. We need to save some space for early dinner, so we ordered only 3 bowls of cendol, 2 bowls of ice kacang, a fruit platter, some deep fried stuff (like loh bak but serve with peanute sauce), and yam kueh.


6.30pm - Dragon King Nyonya Food

This restaurant is the oldest nyonya food restaurant in Penang, existing for more than 30 years!!! Way over i've born. The first time I dine in this restaurant when i was like 10?? Then twice again in the past 5 years i think. This restaurant serves the most authentic baba nyonya cuisine. Homecook everyday by the tau-keh-nioh (wife of the owner), and helped by her aunt, which i think is about 60+ closing 70years old...which is stil so strong and healthy!!!

The restaurant brochure.


There's a Peranakan Mansion as Baba Nyonya museum in Penang.


Clockwise from top (starting with the bowl with laddle): Kapitan curry chicken, chili prawn with petai, nyoyna spring roll and loh bak, "hong bak", some fish, steamed otak-otak, stir fried mengkuang (jicama with shredded dried cuttle fish, mushroom, carrot, and some other julliene stuff). In the middle is "perut ikan".


7.30pm - Esplanade

We're suppose to tried out the pasembur there. But once looking at the crowd (it's ph today, so it's flooded with ppl...malays especially), we decided to enjoy the sea breeze...more like the land breeze cause it's the evening time. We say people playing kites (woooahhhh~~ been ages since i last play it....miss it~~~) and lots of photo shooting session =D

See the line of kiteS? Its been pulled by that guy in white...at the far right. Spot him.


Group pic...smile~


The back of Fort Cornwallis.


Sexy~~ Recognise the sexy smooth leg?


The parents...

The trio guys...

Jiali and moi....again~ =)


8.30pm - Haagen Dazs at Pulau Tikus
(not island of rat laaa...this place is not flooded with rats k ==')

Since everyone is getting warm at the seaside, so we decided to head to somewhere cooling to chill off. And since Im soooooo into ice cream, so come on...let's go HD~~

Suppose to order ice cream fondue...but since ALL of them tried that in the previous trip (sobbby T_T ), so we order 2 from the promotion borchure, and 2 new menu featuring the new apricote flavored ice cream.

Clockwise from top: Apricote, strawberry sorbet, coffee, vanilla.


The one on far top is waffle with strawberry ice cream.
The borromt: Brownie delight. Compose of sticky brownie with choc and cookie & cookie and cream.


Clean again~ =p


After wallaping everything...camwhore time again~ Yes we love camwhoring...what to do...we're all of teanage age =p

**PS: View in my fb la...=p **

So are we done for the day? Since that consider as our dessert. Well in Malaysia....especially Penang the heaven of food...the night has just begin. **Jeng jeng jeng JENG~~~~**


10pm - Bayan Bay hawker centre

What's the look of a hawker centre at 10pm? Half emptied? 3/4 emptied? Or ALMOST emptied? NONONONONONO....its just stil so FULL HOUSE!!!!!!!!


I kinda like this hawker centre, apart from the limited parking spot, but the foodS here are awsomely heavenly delicieux~! Range from the usual local delights till the international spcialties...it's just CHEAP-FAST-GOOD!!

Among the GOOD ones are hokkien mee, curry mee, wan tan mee, kuey teow soup, char kuey teow (best laaa...but not opened today =='), ikan panggang (best of it - sting ray, squid, clam and lala, served with special dipping sauce), HK chee cheong fun, balacan fried rice with condiments, chinese pan cake with wide range of fillings, pizza, western food, loh bak and roasted chicken wing / drum. Alot kan =p

Top: Panggang clam. Left: Loh bak. Right: Panggang siput (some kind of clam type..not snail!!)


This is the famouse Ikan Panggang.


See how high we stack up the plates =p


Result? Fully satisfied tummy =DD And few more kg and fats to be gained. So...badminton session tmr morning to burn off the calories and fats =D Good planing huh.



PS: Anyone wanna join me for a food tour? =D
