More than just a sinking ship!

2011-06-24T09:02:00.014+08:00

Titanic - The best piece during the 90s which blew everyone's mind away (that time) for it's realistic reincarnation of the tragic events of the sinking megaship on 15 April 1912. No doubt that everyone has watched one of the highest grossing movie of all time, only surpassed by James Cameron's very own Avatar, but upon rewatching it again last night I realised numerous points which we can learn from it in making sure we nail an A during relationships. Yeah, relationships woo! John WOO! Ok that's lame.

Prior to reading this, if you haven't watched Titanic before (WTF), go watch it. If you've watched it before, well, watch it again. If you don't give a flying damn about Titanic, well, GO WATCH IT.

Let's look at the supposedly "romantic" moments the main characters portrayed in the movie. Aww the lovely couple, Jack Dawson, played by the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio when he was still looking young, good and rather gay. Though it's much better than the old fart he looked like in Inception. And of course, Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Kate Winslet, who never seems to grow old.

Seriously, Rose DEWITT BUKATER? LOL name but I guess poor Jack fell for her boobs.

Anyway, to my point,

1) KNOW WHERE TO HOLD THE GIRL

So they first met at the stern of the ship. Rose was about to jump to freeze her boobs off and die a sad death until the looking-ever-so-gay-in-this-movie Jack stopped her from doing so. Then on another lovely evening, he brought her to the stern of the ship and did the following scene which couples everywhere nowadays tend to mimic, and the you-jump-i-jump theory.

Jack: *...me wanna move me hands higher*

Certainly this scene will move the hearts of many romantics out there. Too bad lately the you-jump-i-jump concept is often misused. Nowadays people tend to do i-jump-alone. Exhibit A, Bintang Megamall in Miri. Not that Leonardo DiCaprio gives a damn about any romantic concepts, look at him! He just wanna lay his hands on those. you know. It's the same thing for all us males. When it comes to hot girls, it's our balls talking rather than our brains.

2) ***!

Or should I put it in a more appropriate manner - Intimate- err, Scene.

You sick bastards have been waiting for this one huh. Nothing much to add here, other than nailing the girl good. Nuff said!

What's for dinner!!!

says James Cameron.

Anyway yeah, to succeed in a relationship we've gotta do a Jack. All we've gotta do is nail the **** **** out of ******* ************ and **** ******!!!

3) Dramatize things: Be a Drama King/ Drama Queen

Spice up things a lil' bit. Don't keep things dull! When you go out on a date, keep things INTENSE and INTERESTING. Say you're going to point A, don't just take the direct route. Go to point A via point B, point C, Starbucks, point D, DOTA, point E then reach point A. Oh throw in Golden Lily just for the sake of killin' more time. Heck maybe you can even go visit Bui's house along the way!

Note of Caution: Bui might be half-naked when he's at home.

Rose decided to make Jack love her more. Yeah, one sex scene wasn't enough. She wants more! What better way to make a guy love you more than PROVING YOUR LOVE by doing the most ridiculous things out there.

Yeah let's maximize the picture for a better effect.

Rose wants to be with Jack. Jack's eyes have "I wanna bang you again" written all over em.

it would have been epic if she'd slipped and dropped down. imagine Jack looking from above, going all...

Anyway yeah. Rose jumped back due to her uber love for Jack. Here's the thing, she could have just said to the Titanic crew "NOOOO I'M STAYING WITH JACK". However, she decided to spice things up before reaching point A (staying with Jack on the sinking ship)

- Hold on to Jack's hand tight before letting go and agreeing to board the boat.

- Look up to him with those puppy eyes.

- Wait for the boat to be lowered several floors just for longer screen time to look at Jack.

- Look at Jack with those puppy eyes again.

- and again. (hopefully earning herself a Grammy Award, which she did not lololol)

- Then JUMP BACK INTO THE TITANIC.

- Oh not so simple, make sure that she doesn't get a clean jump. Cling on to the side of the ship for a few seconds and needing people to pull her back.

- Wait for Jack to scream, like he actually did in the movie, "ROSE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ROSE!"

- Knowing that she nailed it, run all the way back to Jack and say the usual I-Love-You before hugging him and kissing him.

- Then lastly maybe get another sex scene in but too bad the Titanic was sinking so the lovely couple couldn't afford the time.

4) Hire another dude to make yourself feel like a HERO!

Yeah guys, (TAKE NOTE BUI), pay a lil cash to some dude to "harm" you and your beloved girl. Jack did it to perfection, hiring Rose's fiance Cal to chase after em with a gun and missing shots deliberately whilst Jack holds her hand like a man and led her on a runaway. Oh and make sure the gun has live ammunition of course.

wtf Cal looks like a fag here. What's with the hairdo and his eyes.

ah this is more like it. too bad he's wet. wait that doesn't sound right.

Right. After successfully avoiding all the fired shots (of course), don't forget to hold your beloved to your close and look into her eyes with your very own assured eyes. Remember to tell her that everything is going to be alright.

HUG HER TIGHT BUT NOT FOR TOO LONG IF YOU'RE ON A SINKING TITANIC. not too tight also. remember Bui.

5) BE A GENTLEMAN TO TOP IT ALL OFF WITH A BANG!

Russell Peters says BE A MAN! Well, remember to BE A GENTLEMAN also. Do the ladies first thingy. When you're going out on a date and going to a fine dining place, move the chair for her and let her sit first. When you're watching a sad movie, let her cry on your shoulder first before crying yourself like a pussy. When you think you're gonna fail your exam, remember to let her fail her own exam first before failing your own. And yeah when you're floating on the Atlantic Ocean and you found a floating piece from the ship, let her get on it first!

Rose, I swear, my balls are freezing.

And to top it all off with the best effect ever, Jack made sure that he stayed in the freezing water and died of hypothermia. or did he?

Jack: *okay i'm gonna play dead*

Perhaps he was just playing dead and wanting Rose to love him more and never let go! Yeah, never let go, that was his plan. Apparently Rose wasn't in sync with him, thinking that Jack has died she DID let him go. So when Rose let him go, he realized it too late and yeah. died of drowning rather than hypothermia.

So yeah guys, especially Bui, we CAN learn a lot from this movie aye? That's why when watching the movie, I realized that, its More than just a sinking ship!

BUT JACK WILL BE BACK TO TEACH US MORE!

Jack never forgot that Rose let him go.

It's gonna get really personal alright.

Ahoy!

5 saddest things to do alone (according to potatoslammers!!)

2011-06-05T02:28:00.002+08:00

Doings things alone sucks, unless you really need to do it alone, like "private time" (sup guys& some girls) anyways here is a list of things that SUCKS IF YOU DO IT ALONE, and its really sad, and the other thing is yeah after living alone right now you can justify this for us here, if not, tell us something else, maybe we'll add in,
But apart from that, heres the top 5 saddest thing to do alone so please please please avoid all these and if all hopes fail, call a helpline or parents or prank call someone!

5) Eating alone

yes its cool if you did this
The case:
Well i'd say all of us already experienced this at least three times, and yes it sucks to eat alone, and well yeah it just really sucks. whats the funny thing is, heck this is actually some psychology problem, where people are just as sad there. Apart from that, its actually unhealthy, there are a lot of people out there knows how sad it is to eat alone and they rather skip a meal than actually eat alone, like this link here saying half of USA eats alone hence depression a lil bit, and this site here can help "teach" peeps how to eat alone....(wtf?). In addition to all these, theres actually a 9 step protocol on how to eat alone at wikihow..(wtf? they actually have stages to go through in this?) so yea..... depressingly sad.
The solution:
Find some friends to hang out and eat, or eat with your family, sure they will go out with you if you sound sad and desperate.(Or if nobody wants to, its just because you're just a dick) and well there is another simpler solution, its called "tapau" or take-away. If you ever so end up in these shit, just cook at home, (its hard to screw up spaghetti and prego sauce), OR take away mac D or KFC or whatever meals there is, just just just dont... eat alone... unless you want to act cool in front of some peeps who'll just look at you peeps and say "O.o LONEEERRRRR"

4) Going shopping Alone

................................
The case:
Going shopping alone, well at the shopping center, looking at stuffs, going into the SUB shop, ALONE, really sucks, like what these group of people have to say "looking at people awkwardly"..(really after going to shop alone do you need to have a stare-down with other groups of people)... WEIRD, and well when you go window shopping alone, you'll just get really weird and sad. Apart from that, shopping alone, looking around peeps with company, and especially if you're at a foreign country, it'll be quadrupole madness. Apart from that, going out alone, peeps will look out at you guys, and say WTF is this person doing alone.
The solution:
Well, go out with some friends if you don't want to shop alone. IF you do really need to shop alone, just get what you really need in and out no question asked. So apart from that, having a stroll in the park is healthier than window shopping alone and speaking of going to places alone....

3) Going Clubbing Alone

for this part playing daft punk while reading will be nice
The case:
Its friday night, you want to go have fun, its awesome to chill at clubs, meeting with girls socializing with friends, acting cool in front of peeps, showing off shits with your friends, doing stuffs with them and getting drunk and in the end like all epic stories in every movies, you forgot what just happen yesterday and start bullcrapping of stuffs to your pals the next day, so in this story as you can see, friends sort of play a big role in this. And well here are some peeps who talks about if its cool to go alone... so well you be the judge in this case. (well, ill add on another link where it be really weird just to read this)
The solution:
Just.... don't go to clubs alone... i don't think theres any decent way to really sort of solve this, unless you really just want to go and meet up with other peeps. OR just being cool, acting awesome. OR its FRIDAY and you need to go somewhere on friday... speaking of friday....

2) Celebrating Your Birthday at TGI Fri's ALONE

it's Friday! Alone.. F*ck
The case:
One day, its your birthday! where else to celebrate better than a place where they give free stuffs during that epic day!! just one problem... you're alone... and yes it really sucked. ( I went to tgif alone one time, and i sat there eating drinking watching the game, and everyone around me are like at least 2 at the table.. gosh i was so alone till the waiter actually took some time to talk with me, thats sweet from her.. sad from me, and i can't imagine if you be celebrating your birthday alone there) so yeah its sad and really, wtf? AND wtf? theres a site teaching how to celebrate your birthday alone. And theres a site where girls celebrate alone too..
The solution:
The sad thing is celebrating alone.. so go be with your family or get around with your friends, if you really need to celebrate alone... go online and do something else!! so enjoy your time and let do something else, like lets say..baking a cake? maybe? so errmmm don't let it drag you down!! Still its better than.....

1) Watching movie ALONE

i walk a lonely road.......... towards my seat all alone.....
The case:
Well..... i just cant say this but... this really is sad.. and somehow there is a debate in the net saying its better to watch movie ALONE.. saying you can enjoy it and embrace it better. (personally... WTF?) Apart from that going to the movies alone... damn man... seriously..... just ... think about it first and well looks like this people are trying to justify why you should watch alone. tho in the end... theres actually theres a wikihow on how to have fun watching a movie alone. . . . . . . . . .
The solution:
Just don't.. f*cking do it..... ever.. its just really really really really exponentially sad, its the ultimate emoness and... i did it before.. f*ck why did i say that.....

WHERE THE HECK IS MARIO?!

2011-04-30T18:57:00.044+08:00

Buon Juorno guys! is how you can say hello in Italy with a :D on your face.
Of course, being the troublemaker we are, the middle finger still applies but works well with the :D face too. Just get ready to make a D: face.
Speaking of which, the peace gesture is an awesome accessory for cute photos right?

Aww look at how cute she's doing! It's a she right? Dammit.

However, doing it with your backhand facing viewers is a long-established insult in Italy. You should be able to figure it out by yourself. Hint: Put your nose in between the two fingers.

Before the Mafia. After the Mafia. He's sorry.

Seems like Bel's already given the summed up view of whats been going down in the lives of our PotatoSLAMmers, crudely explained in the previous post so I'll just attach a scope to my pen and give you a guys a little rundown of my recent spring vacation in Italy! :D

FIRST OFF!

MILANO - Milan, home to the AC Milan FC and the city of fashion. Nearly every man is wearing a business coat or blazer even if it's just an afternoon walk in the park, gotta be prepared cuz' you'll never know when an important business client will pop up! or not.

I'm working today. Just kidding.

Ow yeah Milan has Duomo di Milano, meaning Milan Cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete. It is the fourth largest cathedral in the world!

Duomo di Milano! 4th largest in the world, JB and some say Batam!

The Square at where Duomo di Milano is situated is a tourist hotspot so there's a need to spend all that foreign cash! Where else but at a huge shopping complex just right beside it. Within, there's branded franchises like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Mercedes Benz and even McDonald's.
The ironic thing is that in shops like Prada and Louis Vuitton, you can only find ASIANS browsing through their wares (even Malaysians are among them...haiyo of coz i can sense them la).
Owh yeah did I mention that there are dozens of classy sassy restaurants right beside these franchises? What's even more ironic is that when the ASIANS come out brandishing their purchased LV/Prada/Trashbag...they turn to McD's for lunch. LOL?

When LV's bags are exploding, so are your pockets. BOOM.BOOM.BOOM.

Well that's pretty much about it in Milan...

Right.

MOVING ON!

VENEZIA - Venice! The beautiful city of river veins and streams of water that circulates the traffic in and around the islands. Venice is actually an island connected by rail with the mainland of Italy. There are other notable islands around Venice like Murano, known for its Murano Glass, and Burano, known for its narrow line of houses washed by different shades of colours.

There's also the Carnival of Venice, a masquerade festival where people wear masks of various shapes and colours! I'm surprised why superheroes or supervillains aren't born in Venice when it's so easy to hide one's identity there.

There are even masks that are worn by the doctors in Assassin's Creed!

Woody Woodpecker looks sick.

The masks, either for display or play, are pretty cool to have. Great for playing Batman.

Batman agrees.

Then there's the Murano Glass. This type of glass is famous for its shape, colours, design and form, and the art of glass-making used to craft it. From paperweights and room ornaments to pendants, rings and jewellery, Murano glass is one of the main trades in Venice.

THEY BREAK RAINBOWS FOR THIS!

And I stumbled upon colourful pasta too which is also an attraction in Venice. They sell for 3-5times the usual price of normal pasta >.>
Not only are they colourful, but they're very shaped after real stuff like hats and...well..stuff.

It's written NOT SEXY for a reason. Zoom in for some...stuff.

OK for the island of Burano, it's when their town planner got high on weed while watching Care Bears and said "I LOVE A CITY OF RAINBOWS" but the closest idea to his delusional plan(besides breaking rainbows and Murano glass) is to negotiate with the Care Bears to wash the whole town with their rainbows and loving hearts. But the Care Bears don't give a F*** and gave him their leftover Dulux Weathershield and Nippon Colour Paint instead. So the Italian town planner gave the Bears a backhand peace sign, in which the Care Bears mistaken it for a peace gesture.

The Care Bears Show was replaced by Teletubbies the following day.

Care Bears + weed gives you...

Burano, where the rainbow's on the ground instead.

There's more to see in Venice like Piazza San Marco and other interesting places which I won't go over here cuz' they're a sight to personally behold by yourself :D

FINAL STOP!

ROMA - Rome is the capital of Italy with many phrases and expressions amounting from it like "All roads lead to Rome", "Rome wasn't built in a day", "When in Rome, do what the Romans do" and "THIS.IS.SPARTAAAAA!!!". No wait the last one didn't come out right. But yeah you get the idea how famous Rome is that it got pretty much its own name in sentences like:

"Hey my phone's on Roaming now".

Alright that didn't come out right either. But hey you don't hear like New York's nickname coming out as the Big Apple in usual phrases...unless there's "A(n) BIG APPLE a day keeps the doctor away" then HELL YEAH I LOVE NY! GUHUHUHUH.

Speaking of which, I noticed there's a lot of peeps wearing I <3 NY and the S for Superman shirts in Rome... modern propaganda huh.

Oh and there's the famous Vatican City also made popular by the movie Angels & Demons. It's where the Pope lives and home to only 500+ residents and the church there is currently the largest in the world! Here's a picture of the entrance to the church, Vatican Square on Easter Day and Sunday Mass. There's thousands of people attending.

I saw the Pope! On a huge screen instead -.-"

Here's a shot of the Vatican Square from which I took from the Cupola (the huge dome up there). As you can see, sculptures of saints line the rooftops' edges. Wooo..

So dude, where are the Demons?

Next when you think about Rome, you gotta think about the fabled Colosseum. It's as colossal as the name adheres. To my disappointment though, it wasn't anything like the movie Gladiator(what? that's bullsh**!!) but pretty much like the movie Jumper( o.o )

From the outside. Looks like something you can eat XD
hungry bah >.>

On the inside. That's the arena?!
LET'S GO PAINTBALL!

Likewise, many other beautiful sights & sounds for your own adventure :D
I haven't mention food now, have I?

AND WHERE'S SUPER MARIO?!

IT'S A ME! MARIO & PIZZA!

Ironically, Mario being Italian, Pizza being Italian gives you Mario's Pizza which is a restaurant that exists only in New York (why am I comparing Italy and NY anyway?!)

Well at least there are other famous Italian foods to try out in Italy itself like:

WARNING OMG FOOD TOUR!!

Pizza with mushrooms, ham, artichokes, and mozzarella cheese

Pizza with cheese and 3 slices of ham in tabasco sauce

The classic Spaghetti & Meatballs!

Spaghetti Carbonara (with pepper,eggs and bacon)

Homemade Lasagna (layers of pasta and meat)

Bucatini Amatriciana

Bucatini Roma Style >.>

Assorted cookies & bread

Cappucino (smooth blended coffee)

GELATO!!! (smooth tasty ice-cream)

So voilà, more to find out for yourself xD I've only filled in a few holes to your knowledge about Italy and hopefully instilled some cravings for you to go there. I've not listed the dangers and precautions to take as I meant this to be a fun post but hey do always take care bah XD

Guess my next trip will be back home to Miri for the summer break. WO YEAH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! That's when the Po-SLAMmers can meet up again yo :D so till then guys and readers! Take care and remember to eat your tomatoes so you can grow up to be fat and strong like Super Mario!
It's a he! Mario!

Uh oh porridge's on fire!
hach

We're Still Alive - to SLAM mo!

2011-04-20T00:23:00.018+08:00

Hey, guys. How have you all been this time around? Been enjoying life lately? Been hitting the cards, the movies, the dairy farm and such? Well I have -

- Now if you think that I would be talking about what I've been up to lately, that's the thought where everything goes wrong. I mean for awhile back there. In fact there's been a lot going on from environmental mixes to political flicks and dodges. But not gonna elaborate too much on them. I'm sure most of us are aware of how the world is taking hits from everything that is around us - and even ourselves. But ah, to get smaller into the picture, I'll be discussing -

-Now if you think I would be ranting about what I thought that what should have happened to the world and such, that's where you'd be saturated with never ending issues - from me of course. But that's not gonna happen tonight, or now, yet. Anyways, the point is that, hmm how should I put this. Well 1st of all, I would prefer to start with a new paragraph.

There we go! So here I am, who just proly wasted a minute or two of your time reading the first few punching paragraphs (Thanks for being a great, patient and curious reader back there :D ). But hey, so far we potatoSLAMmers have been digging out our futures in life ( Naw, I don't think we're digging our graves yet.) and have been caught up in many different areas - in life, yet again.

Well, for Bui - or some of you may prefer to call him Bui (pfft, as if that made any difference) OF COURSE, IT DID. For Bui, you tend to pronounce it as Buuui in low monotone. But for Bui, it goes up like this - '!'. See, it's more hyped like this. Well if you guys remember him from "The Pond", which is a place which exists only in our heads (But if you do, then hey, welcome to The Club!), or even heard him. To refresh your memories, I'll play back one of our daily conversations

Bel and Hay walks into the coffee house to meet up with Rol, Chris and Bui.
*Start of conversation
Bel: Heya fellas.
Hay: Yoshas.
Rol: Hey guys!
Chris: Eh, hey dudes.
Bui: Woot.
Bel: I heard Bui tried to hit on a girl yesterday night.
Rol: Woah, really?
Bui: .....
Chris: WOW, serious?!
Bui: .....
Hay: Has Bel ever been serious?
Bui: .....
Hay,Rol, Chris: .....
Bel: Can stop imitating Bui ka?
Bel: .....
Bel: Oh, crap.
*End of conversation.

So that's how Bui got famous, in particular. Yeap, he's been handling life by his grasps lately. He even stopped playing the old yet hooking game of DotA for this semester ( O: ) and - still looks the same ol' Bui :) Not to mention his ear piercing laughs and sometimes contagious ones - maybe he's better off being "....." instead at times right? BUT if he were to do that, you'd not have the formula to being a perfect Bui. No wait, it's Bui.

Yes, he's still my roommate. And I'm sure he's active and all that. He's being a.good.roomie. He's always looking.after.us. ( I dare not speak much of him, otherwise he'll E.A.T me. eex.(save me(if you got my message in the bottle(please drop by to rescue me when you're free(hurry!)))))

Care to feed me?

.....

So enough about that, we'll skip over to - Rol. Rol's been up in KL for his studies. From what I've heard he's been doing alot of research and projects. He's been to exhibitions exhibiting his innovative invention which is a 'non-pump generated' water pump. The details are in the box. And he's been to organising backdrops and design for an exhibition. And I believe he's currently handling some management stuffs at a company he's docked at for his project.

So Rol has been busy all this while I suppose? Naw. Not really. Impossible Rol can be busy. Right? Well, naturally he finds time to play DotA draft matches with his mates over there. There would be batch against batch matches - and yes he would report to me about his winnings and uber comebacks and turnovers of losing bouts. (Gotta love that feeling huh :/) Other than that, Rol is the type of guy to go out whenever he can. To prove it, I'll reroll a recent conversation.

On Facebook Valz chat group, the members are getting ready for war.
*Start of conversation
Chris: Madek, where's rol now.
Zing: I think we should rez the fort now.
Hay: Yea, the members are getting restless.
Bel: I'd say we go in 1 min, give rol some time bah.
Chris: Okai.
*After the war ended
Hay: Ah, almost got it.
Bel: Darn failed to snipe.
Chris: F this S
Zing: Haiz.
*Suddenly
Rol: Nuuuuuuu, I just got back. Got stuck in a traffic jam!
Rol: Hey guys, how're ya doing?
Hay, Bel, Chris, Zing: We're good. Rol. We're good.
*End of conversation.

And there you have it. Rol's been tackling life his own way and is doing well with it. Despite the many joke complaints and hoorahs, he's still Rol.

Yeas, Rol's on the right end. He's Batman btw.

Moving on, there's Chris - the man to turn to when you need to talk some sense into. I mean when you wanna have a good time talking some cents and nonsense. When it comes to LOL moments, he's sure be up to it post it up on Facebook - mostly with the intention to blackmail or frame close friends like Bui. And boy, do we love it. Good laughs should be shared for all yea?
One such example can be seen.

Bui let his guard down.

Besides the frameworks, Chris' updated on animes and KPop and many Youtube vids to keep entertainment up close. Though this might affect his studies, he's still got guts to go ahead with it - along with his usual "MMFHH, Wad Da Fuuhhh" kinda thing - and still come out OK with exam grades.

He also keeps in close contact with his bro, Fui. Hi , Fui! And enjoys eating his bro's cooked meals, which I have yet to try. And I'm still waiting for it. Waiting..
Chris also reveals that he'd like me to draw all the SNSD girls in a single paper. Here's how it rolled.

Bel and Chris are having a normal conversation at night.
*Start of conversation
Bel: I finished drawing SNSD's Jessica!
Chris: Yeah, I saw it. It's good stuff. I didn't even know you started it xD
Bel: Yea, I started it a few weeks ago. And I've started alot of projects but put on hold because it keep jumping.
Chris: Kewl.
Bel: Now, Hay wants me to draw Taeyeon.
Chris: Aww.
Bel: What about you, who would you prefer to draw?
Chris: Hmm, I would want.
Chris: ALL OF THEM. IN A SINGLE PAPER. MUAHAHA XD
Bel: Oh, no Chris. You want them all, you greedy bastart!
Chris: HEHEHEHEE, ALLLLL -
*end of conversation
Edit: I only remembered until the last two lines of the convo. The rest were based upon my impressions of what I could gather for that night.

I finished drawing SNSD's Jessica!

http://ioxygen.deviantart.com/art/SNSD-Jessica-205101965

And there's Chris, one of the persons who I would show me art to receive critics, opinions and response based on his anime and KPop knowledge and the many LOL views he has.

Next, there's Hay. The person who moved to France in Aix for the time being, and is having a heck of a time there - meaning good and fun moments and some wtf shiet moments. He's staying alone there due to studies. So he learns to cook and prepare meals on his own, budget his expenditures, plans on when to buy groceries, and even estimate when would there be a strike.

He cooks most of the time for his meals, and through life's long journey of learning, he's still not good. I mean - he's just getting by with his taste. I've yet to try his cooking! For the first few times of cooking, he came out with burnt or overdose of quantities. But at least he's better now, but he recently decreased posting pictures of his cookings to observe and report. At least he likes to make funny things out of them before chomping.

I goth sumthinh stuckh in mee headh.

And yea he's been learning alot of French. So it comes to be useful when needed. In one of the daily convos, this is what happened:

Strange enough when it comes to learning, yes. But it happened!

Yeah, Hay's doing a lot of language learning and exploring Europe. He's just embarked on a tour to Italy. Hopefully he would bring back something cool of the Italians. He also just won a basketball tournament for M'sians only in France. That's what I heard, couldn't believe what I heard at first though. Apparently, only 5 teams registered including his. His team came out first. But that's a surprise to me, cause we would talk about what we can do in basketball whenever we can in chats. And now he's got a medal to show me. T_T

Anyways, as for me? I'm still with Bui (Yeap.) And looking out for each other. Been catching up on studies and such, what else is there to say about me? Ow darn, I can't make fun of myself since I have a reputation to keep :/

Well, trying to improve on basketball is another but that's more to fun and games. I can't reveal too much about my secret practice O: Church activities are going great as well and have learnt a lot of values of growth. Oh yeah, I have been catching up on art as well. I joined a Wacom 5th Anime Contest and submitted La Danse in which I have reedited an older version of it, into making it - well, better.

I turned to Hay for criticisms and he opted me to ask others, especially girls since guys would be bias towards the picture. (o_O) So I turned to two of whom I know has relation to art - Vern and Mel. Vern recommends to increase the contrast. Mel added that the background to be with more colours. Later, I asked help from Bui, Chris and Javier. Bui - I forgot what he said. No, it wasn't "....", I believe it was more to "Yea, agreed with the rest :D". Chris wanted the sparks to be more flashy. But I couldn't deliver to his anime style, oops. Javier sent an email regarding the review of the art LOL. And he pointed the background to be more clean. And I did most of the requested items, except for Chris' (it was alil' too late by then!)

So after all the ASAP editing, it finally came down to this. Thanks for the help peeps x)

La Danse

http://ioxygen.deviantart.com/art/La-Danse-192634503

I would've asked for more help, really. But due to shortage of time to hand in the art before the deadline, editing and reworking to uber display was limited. I actually founded the existance of the competition just 2 days before the deadline. And hey, I had to give it a shot - for a new tablet. The results aren't out yet though.

So visit me DeviantArt gallery to view more of me pieces :D

Well, that should be enough ranting for now. Exams are around the corner. And I should have used this time to do my assignment. Oh oh..

Hope you guys enjoy the read fellas!

P/S: Write whenever we can, bubs.

Bel out!

Fui's special appearance!

2010: The Notables

2011-01-13T21:52:00.014+08:00

HEY HEY HEY- happy new year and sorry folks for the uhm, very lengthy AWOL status that this blog has suffered for the past quarter of a year or so. kthxbai

not.

Greetings everyone, UNLIKE THE OTHER SLAMMERS THAT ARE JUST SLACKING- on behalf of the lads, this is a post highlighting the interesting shiz that happened throughout 2010. A great year or not, it's up for you to decide for yourselves. But all in all, I bet it has been a rather awesome one for all.

2010 had seen all five of us getting "separated" into pieces of studying destinations. I furthered my studies in Perth (Australia), Hay went to Aix (France), Rol's at KL whilst Bel and Bui were always having some fun and enjoyable time together in UTP Perak. bustedddd aaahahaha- I'm sorry.

The previous post has all you need to know bout Hay and his sit-rep in France. Whereas for me, Perth has been, rather nice yet very boring at times. IT'S A DEAD PLACE AT NIGHT. But hey freedom away from parent's jurisdiction is a win. Enjoyable seasons I've gotta say, with summer being a hot pain in the ass, winter being windy-ish ice cold, spring being so-so lah and autumn being just perfect. OW WAIT, I ALMOST FORGOT BOUT THE FLIES.

Yes, flies.

YA BRING IT ON B-

These flying assholes became extremely active during summer and spring. Heck, they are literally everywhere, and problem is they are extremely dumb. THEY STICK ON ME FACE EVERYWHERE I GO. Imagine being in Malaysia, with the abundance of mosquitoes dominating the atmosphere and sucking the blood out of ya. Oh yes the experience is very similar, just that for the mosquitoes we can actually afford to smack the shit out of em. Common sense tells you that flies are dirty beings, hell I won't wanna splatter them all over my skin. It's during these times of desperation and annoyance, I wish for

DO YOUR JOB BUI

One of the highlights of the year was definitely:

It all began on that fateful Monday evening in May. Hay, being his cunning self, chatted in msn with me and slowly he began to lure me into "helping" him in BattleStations (a Facebook app game).

"HEY BUB"
"OH HEY YO MAN WADDUP" (apparently we often start off our convos in CAPS for no special reason whatsoever. second nature now, waddup bro :D)
"Hey can help me click on my BattleStations invite? I just wan the ocho coins from referrals"
"Screw you lot and your BattleStations game, I have a life, watching p- stuff"
"Dude come on it's just a click and you're done lol"
"WHATEVER MAN GIMME ONE MINUTE THEN"

that "one minute" has since turned into an eternity of I LOVE BATTLESTATIONS LOL.
nuff said. I'm now officially a BattleStations fag.

As months went by, I was so absorbed into BS that I never close its tab. Then came our gang making our own clan in BS. ValiantZ woot. So yeah we went for wars, sunk forts, have some gay laughs and blablabla. (creation of ValiantZ in BS is definitely one of the awesomest moments of the year for all of us)

NEXT.

November the 9th, 2010. Looks familiar? Yeah it's Hay and Bel's birthday. AND WE WENT ON A GAY SKYPE ROLL.

It started off with only the four of us as Bel was sorta gang raped by his mates for a birthday surprise party. We decided to give the new skype (group video call functioned) a test run.

Fui was with us, so was a raccoon. Apparently Bui was shy.

BUT HECK WE STILL CAUGHT HIM, SIDEWAYS. In the light of viewers' mental preservation, I've put in the effort of not maximizing the pic as big. Reasons of which, are self explanatory.

We were trying our best to enjoy the moment but Hay looked like he's contemplating a rape. Bui on the other hand... was half naked. Everything matches. perfectly.

NEXT.

Oh hey just who the hell is this Justin Bieber shithole? He rose to stardom in 2010 and he just gives me unlimited WTFs everytime I see him, let alone hear him sing. Little girls love him so much, so are the gay communities out there. I wonder why.

"HOLY SHIT" - and that's an understatement.

Chris' 3 VERY LOGICAL and ALL-GUYS-WITH-BALLS-MUST-AGREE reasons why JB is a dipshit that rose to fame because of, literally, nothing.

1) He's a girl.
2) It's a she.
3) She has no boobs, I mean balls.

BABY BABY BABY OH BABY BABY OH MY ASS man, I hate him so much that the following pictures capped off a wonderful year for me. For once, Cartman from South Park is a hero.

First and foremost, this is how JB SHOULD look like:

"DUHUH er HI~, I like little girls DOH guhuh"

BABY BABY BABY OHHH .awwwwouch?

Funniest shit ever and I laughed my ass off when I watched that episode. Though I've gotta say that's rather mean. abit. LOL

I can go on and on but the mentioned are just the few very enjoyable moments of 2010 for me. Plenty more of course, but I'll just stop here and leave em for another day :D

Happy CNY in advance guys, and do have a great 2011 ahead of ya.

Signing off,

I'm straight dammit, very straight.
Chris

You've Received a Tricoloured Letter

2010-09-15T06:00:00.016+08:00

Salut(sa-loo) everyone, loyal followers & fellow PotatoSlammers!

For starters, this is officially my first post ever since leaving my home, Malaysia. It's been what...nearly 5 months already. Getting used to four seasons is a bittersweet experience.I've tasted the sweat beads of summer, braved the cold chilling winds of autumn and soon to come - the frostbites of winter. Hopefully that will pass soon enough, springing into spring for a much more agreeable weather and pollen-infested air to fill my nostrils. Speaking of winter, despite it's gonna turn -15degrees Celsius and more to go under...there isn't gonna be any mini snowman sitting on my window sill. Snow is extremely rare in Aix en Provence. Guess I won't get to experience a White Christmas, neither will I be able to preserve a snowball in my freezer to bring it back as a souvenir for iOxy, then split it up for Chris, Rol & Fui so that we can throw it all at Bui (something impossible which I still and always wanted to do).

BUT ENOUGH CRAP AYE?I've visited Paris as well (pronounced as PA-Riii), the euh...what...city of love and romance. Great place to visit. Not a great place to reside in though. Everywhere I went: whispers & shouts of "CHINOIS" or "CHINA" or "JAPON".
I was kinda sad.
Note the sad face :(
Well.
I don't mind that they didn't say "MALAYSIA" or vietnam or thailand or any neighbouring country of the sort.
But.
Mainly because.
They missed out "KOREA".
Guess I don't look korean huh. LOL. i *heart* kpop -.-"
Aww HEY I GOT JAPON INSTEAD (japan) hooray for anime otakus alike!

Owh and Chinatown in Paris: not so China-ly. I've walked past a few CHINESE couples in the streets. Whatever. They're definitely asian. Guess what. They were conversing in FRENCH.
Okay, despite the fact I'm born of chinese origin and the fact that I converse with my buds in English, seeing other people of any asian origin conversing between each other in FRENCH is just FRIGGIN' WEIRD. mannnn i'm such a hypocrite xD

Alright, on a different note, here's some tips to life: This goes to handphone lovers.
Tip 1: DID YOU KNOW that handphone batteries have an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years maximum?

Tip 2: DID YOU KNOW that if you let your handphone reach critical battery level (near or 0% battery), you're actually risking your battery to be on permanent sleep?
In this case, it might actually kill your battery or it might reduce its lifespan. So, AVOID letting your phone battery reach the RED zone.

Tip 3: DID YOU KNOW that normally a handphone battery can afford 1000 complete cycles of RECHARGE before it suffers a karate chop(haiiii-yah!) in its lifespan?
In other words, recharging your handphone from 0% to 100% for 1000 times. You might think "If that's the case, I'll just charge my phone every possible moment to avoid a complete cycle". Too bad, that loophole doesn't work.
In further detail, 1000 complete cycles of recharging is 10 000% HITPOINTS. For example, recharged from 80% to 100% battery life: 20% hitpoints will be deducted from 10 000 % hitpoints of your battery. Until 10 000% hitpoints is depleted, your battery suffers a permanent loss in vitality.

Tip 4: DID YOU KNOW that batteries discharge energy even when not in use?
OF COURSE YOU DO LOL. But if you want to preserve the lifespan of your handphone battery, keep it in a tightly-sealed bag to avoid moisture. Where to put it? The best place would be some place dry and cool. THE FRIDGE, OF COURSE! Vegetable box is the best place to be. Used to be my summer villa.

A lecturer of psychology explained to me that in French, the "5 Questions" (frankly, it's written in french, looks like English right?) are asked when it comes to the theory of communications. He then said that it's very much similar to the "5 double-yous" in English, a.k.a the "5 W". So it got me wondering about what the Ws stand for in relation to the "5 Questions".

WHO?
Referring to who's emitting a message and who's receiving it.

WHAT?
Referring to what the message consists of.

WHICH?
Referring to which form or means of conveying the message.

WITH?
Referring to (special) effects to help amplify the delivery of the message.

WOH?!
Referring to the reaction of the receiver after receiving a message that is, at first, hard to believe, but it instills curiosity thus gaining further attention from the receiver.

It's getting late. Hope that was a sufficient read after my many months of absence. I'm giving a shoutout from halfway across the world to everyone, friends, buddies, readers, mashed potatoes and family IN & FROM Malaysia.
HOLLAAAAAA :D
Till next time! à la prochaine fois!

Drooling on the keyboard,

Long Time Comin'

2010-08-20T01:10:00.005+08:00

Firstly, WHY OUR BLOG SO DEAD LOL.
Secondly, greetings all.

With uni semesters going on full swing for everyone now (except Mr. Roland), I guess it's fair to say that we're all too busy to post anything (I know I am =x ) Perth is treating me fine, enjoying my time here and hopefully it's the same for all of you guys in your respective places.

For the past few months here I've seen many things related to you guys, strangely enough eh? I have no idea why I didn't take the pictures of em, but I'm telling you guys these and they are for real!

BUI - was walking to our dining place in the city when I came across this vehicle with the car plate [1 BUI 5789] - yes I shit you not. To be frank I was very tempted to take a picture of it but we were walking along the highway (a jammed one at that time) so if I did, angmohs would have seen me and I would have been in, ya know, deep shit.

HAY - came across this street namepost [HAY Street] - and yes I bull you not. You can google map it if you don't believe :D
*P.S* owh for your information, I saw [MAY Street] too, what are the odds lol (not joking, this is real lol). Seriously! Oh wait why did I even type down the latter LOL.

ROL - oh too bad there's nothing related to Rol in Perth which I saw. Eh no wait he was here for one whole month! Seen more than enough of him and for your information guys, he slipped down, like FLAT DOWN one morning while we were preparing to go out. It was so funny that I laughed till almost pee-ed. The "slip" sound due to the wet floor (cleaners just cleaned it prior to Rol standing there) was classic, and basically that's all I remembered Rol for (waseh jk XD)
*P.S* Rol's moment of glory when he was here was definitely his winnings from blackjack when we went to the Burswood Casino. Kudos to him, he was brilliant! (So when we all meet end of this year, he's liable to chia-ing us for dinner)

BEL - now for Bel, nothing distinct but it's down to his alter ego ioxygen. Last week I went to UWA for their Open Day. Jayme took this balloon with helium gas in it (don't ask me why but when anything is related to gas/air, ioxygen always pops out in my mind XD) , so when we got home we sorta released the helium gas into our mouths, all the way down to our throats I think xD. And yeh, we spoke. Our voices sounded like ducks blabberin' crap, and do you guys remember how Bel used to "WIKI! WOOT! WEE! EEX! or whatever" back in secondary school? Yeah sounded abit like that LOL.

Oh just as an add-on, just tonight when I was waiting for the bus, I saw this unique car plate - [1 DIU 5388] Well uhm, yeah DIU. Just random stuff, really =/.... what? XD

There are plenty of stories and experiences that I'd like to share with y'all but I think it's better off if I tell it to you guys when we meet come end of this year.

A short and random post but at least it revived our blog XD.
Signing out,
Chris.

the Good , the Bad, and the Funny

2010-05-26T23:35:00.000+08:00

The good, the bad, and the funny.
yeah good bad and funny sides of all our names in potatoSLAM! its about what our names meant worldwide, and omg we sure do have some weird ones (seriously, f*cking weird)

so lets get straight on!
I will try to find as much info as i can on each of our names in the internet, and separate them into 3 parts!! so lets start off!!
(i recently JUST KNOW THAT we can LINK like this xD much easier right now than copy pasting all the previous link like in top 5 stuffs, hope you enjoy it)

Belden Chin < > < > (actually i forgotten your other two parts of you name, forgive them for not telling me) statistics: 37,600 results in google search which took 0.16 seconds
Belden is the one who always draws alot i guess, in basketball hes called iOxygen, due to his passing play, and in dota, i cant remember, anyhow he's a dude with two eyes 1 mouth and two ears. Some say, he does not know whats porn despite being exposed to it, but all we know, hes iOxygen

The Bad
Belden is a dog! don't ask me, see this. Its at the top right

On image, he got no face, like theres no actual BELDEN FACE. but theres a tombstone, a funny Chinese looking dude, a park? chin chin chin?? fibre optic cables and for some reason, San Fransisco

and on the Map, we see belden, in the USA.... like spread throughout US, there's more of him in the US than UK JAPAN and AUSTRALIA combine! See here!

Its not that bad, but other than the dog thing, i cant find anything bad already... he must be really GOOD then....

The Good
hrmmmm, yes he is good, when you combine belden and chin, you get Quantitative relationship of prexisting homotypic antibodies to the excretion of attenuated poliovirus type 11 notice that, antibodies(good) comes before excretion, hence this is good.
and when you search him, you'll know that he finished his foundation year (good to know) and engineering math.
and hes part of UTP International Culture Club. which i suppose to be good means hes banging on some chicks or sort off.

Your search - belden chin - did not match any documents. means hes not on any news or sort, way to go low belden!!

and under books! hes either some maternal image or medically affiliate with vaccines
and immunity research

The Funny
Oh yea here comes the funny part, try putting auto search on and type belden, you will see this

it's kinda small but click it and you will see it clearly!

As you can see, he is either some cable or numbers... i really dont know why. and if you type on chin, you'll get Belden China as a search suggestion.. wow and i did some search and it looks like belden got a website! and it says under Belden there... sending all the right signals !, what signals bel ! mating calls?!
anyhow, there are some cool ones like this. really, dont be in awe, i was shocked as well.

Bufo Jong Y C
Statistics: 23,900 results in 0.39 seconds (I ignored the Bufo and went straight to JYC)
Bufo is the dude who ask us to call him bui and i always spell his last name wrongly. He is holy right now and prays longer before meal than belden and a girl in front of him [or around him]. No offense bui, i just got nothing to write about you ! T.T so ermm yea he's a dude with four arms and two eyes and does the fade away in basketball alot. Some say, his blood freeze in the winter in malaysia due to extreme humidity, but all we know, he's bui.

The Bad
I cant find anything bad... other than spm results upsr tips? facebook and chung hua..

On images tho, theres no face of bufo as well, looks like no1 upload his pic or so, but we do have some ah beng, a girl who took pics of herself, AVATAR for some reason, a little girl on a sofa and it says there super hard & super???(Pedo?????) and Garfield..... seriously its somewhat only girls and camera if you notice.

On maps, yik chieng can be spotted quite rarely, being the closest is at Poland, and he is scattered only in europe and the USA, and hes COUNTABLE, unlike belden, who's like godlikely everywhere. really.

On new, he too does not have any news, down low guy.

and thats about it.. nothing much... omg bui you need to build your rep up man.

The Good
He is a part of some Australian volunteering group. try searching his name xD

and in Thai he is จงหยิกเชียง, i have no idea wtf is that don't ask me xD and i think thats good?

He also completed foundation year (good to know) and engi math as well,
but here comes the mind blowing part.

When you find in under books, you get singapore, chemistry and china BOOKS, no kidding man

The Funny
When typing his name on the search bar i stumble across this

As you can see, of all of us, he's somewhat closest to home in a random search
So i'd try some out, and see the 3rd one there, Jonghyun, i clicked it and guess where it gotten me to? here. [TENSO SPOILER THE NEXT SENTENCE!]

ITS SOME GIRL SHIRT WEARING AH BENG!!!!!

But due to the lack of info i added bufo in the front of the search, and looked where it ended up to. Its kinda weird once you see this. i know the second search right? the 1 with reproductive word.

and all the bio journals like this talk about how frogs mate and how to enhance it and how to reduce the gap?? wtf? why study that??

Hayden Chin < > < > (i also don't know the final two part so lets just stick with the first two, forgive those who told me but i forgotten)
Statistics: 604,000 results in 0.16 seconds in google search
Hayden is the other half of belden, doesn't draw as much as belden already, he's Hach, and he plays basketball as well, and errr pool also, and dota. Furthermore he has two eyes one mouth and an extra hair. Hayden got a much bigger search result as well. Some say his french is better than his English, but all we know, hes Hach.

The Bad
I think the first link instantaneously speaks for itself its not your fault, don't worry. Dicky Hayden's damn...
And we can find harry potter fansites too. Due to its magic and etc etc and to make our holy readers happy, i kinda have to put it on the bad side.

and errr you're under tributes..
and a female marine, can search your name

On images, we see 1 picture of him, 3 dicky haydens, and others the heros girl who can heal herself and which she got stabbed like countless of time, here

On maps however we got NOTHING, other than Hayden Hall in India
and in news, looks like hes badass.

The Good
He's Hellboy at an insurance group, what a good symbol for something to insure your life don't you think so?

Then he was Tornbridge baseball coach!! way to go hay! 3 months there man! how many MLB stars did it produce!

and when you search his name you ended up with some results about Signals Transomething ect etc, which is some sort of super research

and he gives a good testimonial to this group. can see his name after 6 or 7 somewhere there.
if you're lazy to find, he said this:

“Very Good Tutoring, Excellent Facilities Highly Recommended.”

~ Hayden Chin Wing,

Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited

but thats roughly it... dude you need to do something too... most of the stuffs i found out its like..
Hayden holding his chin up... stuffs like that xD

The Funny
When i first saw this, i was then on the way to write this post!! you wouldn't expect it! CHIN a playlist from Hayden xD

Other than that looks like when you have chin surgery and implants in hayden can improve your jawline and muscles.., im not making this up. Hayden can make you look better..

And you provide for the world man, one of a kind technology!!, Hayden solar panel!!!

and Hayden ID as well, whatever it is...
and to round this part up, when you type in this dude.. you sorta get this at some extent

I wonder what that is....

Wonder not! its some OLD MAN SLACK PANTS!

Chris JVK
statistics: 1,660 in 0.31 seconds
Chris is the potent blogger in this team, he post up more stuffs than most of us do. He has a younger bro which we always tease at some extent, cant reveal his name here, sorry fui. but anyways he too has two eyes two ears 1 mouth and 1 nose, and some say, he has 3 extra hairs on his arms. Some says, his teeth is diamond and he has no idea, and when the kangaroo got shot outside his house, he thought it was a deer, all we know, hes Chris the WindStalker.

The Bad
Your name kinda ended up to this dude, dejong, he has a bad display pic and he has a website too
and he does have a list of TOP SEVENTY FIVE ALBUMS of 2009. what a list man... i'd think most people just want to know the top 10 or so right.. that's why people say top 30 at most..

and err this chris de jong dude, its like everywhere in the net, i'd so didnt expect this to happen xD, he has another site, where you need to pass a TEST or something of a sort, here try it out

and on images errrrrrmmmmmmmm, you just got to see this yourself

while err thats a group of hippies too, i just don't get what are they doing...

and on maps.. this is just so wrong: notice the address on that link, it's Singapore and Indonesia on the same address xD

No NEWS on Chris.... deng this is bad

The Good
Well i found out that we have Vui Khiong more common, in fact, that name provide more essentials to human kind like this one. It's an economic book and political science!

he won My Sony Member Rewards Movie extravashitidunnohowtospellfinishthisword.

Chris also completed a marathon and hes ranked, somewhere. (its pdf can type and search)

owh yea dude youre on the Founder's Badge, ihavenoideawtfisthat. but read the captions and it says there man, highest honour dude............ for a boys brigade.

He too is a professor or something but its in german so i cant read it.
oh wait there's the english translation around the web but i didn't read it cause i'd think it'll be boring.

The Funny
whats funny about vk in the net is that, there absolutely no info on him (there is a few facebook stuffs) and ALOT about Chris de jong. sometimes.

While searching for his stuffs, theres a link on quotes from team america! i think its because the show has kim JONG il and CHRIS as the characters in that awesome mofokin show.

and when i went deeper to see wassup with him at aussie i got this. its a site which says HOTFROG. WTH? VK AND BUI??

and well on another note, on images, typing chris jong will result in ALOT of that north korean dude. (vk's overwhelmed)

and err he has a photo album as well but.... i don't think it can top this up:
i've even highlighted it so you can see it clearly :O

Apparently Chris Jongesdasdqwdsd was a elite cyclist who hit his partner in a crash in 2007
and got sent to prison :O (He too is in australia now man :x, go look up at him cause he spoil your rep)

Roland Tay
Statistics: 549,000 results (0.17 seconds)
Roland tay hey, thats me, the writter of this shit, but omg i stumble across some crazy stuffs in my name :O, still hanging around doing nothing much, helping out peeps who need help, playing games and researching more into some funny stuffs which we here at potatoslam could post up. Some say, I am very hairy, but to others im just full with hormones, but the truth is.. im bigfoot :O

The Bad
HOLY SHIT I'M AN UNDERTAKER WHO THREATENED AND ASSAULT A MAN!!! (not a start i'd expected)

and then theres this site which says extraordinary man, roland tay... and then booshhh. some VERY REALISTIC and pessimistic people saying when someone is doing good to you, it's too good to be true... wth man come on...

On images theres one ME and hell lot of weird stuffs, like really weird, there's a pig, and another dude standing beside a... those stuffs smiling,

well on maps, im nowhere to be found.. other than rolandstarrrt which is at Belgium.

and wth im in a book called Universal Women.
and in Singapore chamber of commerce or something like that. it states that i owe them 50k or something.....

The Good

and err those musicians who know me? yes you sure do:

The Funny
Well around the net, im the man who help other people around...
AND another one, food with heart :D, there's another me who kinda made a restaurant, and it's like a semi/food/cafe/college/social enterprise

There is also another group of people who keeps track of the food done by the restaurant and somehow my name appears there as well.

and yes you fellas so got to see this. im in a worldwide cooperation!!

and i am a legend in france :O, a iconic hero, which i am not even close to resemblance upon!!!

potatoSLAM-ing hach to France

2010-05-02T00:45:00.005+08:00

Hey guys how are things going for you all? I'm fine here and this would be the first entry since being in Perth and what a fitting one to start off with Hay's departure, a permanent one (until he's done with his studies of course), to France.

Feels rather surreal doesn't it, Hay leaving for France. I mean, such a faraway place and not coming back for around four years. Off to somewhere named Aix en Provence or something, hopefully Hay will return to Miri next time "french-ed", that would certainly make our face to face conversations much more interesting wouldn't it? x)

I remember the first time I met Hay, yeah it was in form four. Frankly speaking I kinda hated the fact that Hay and Bel are twins at first as I could never differentiate them for the first few months. How did I finally manage to do it? Well it was achieved via sheer embarrassment, thanks to Hay. I was helping with some subject's exercise book distribution when I came across the name "Belden Chin". I guess it was a good thing during that time that both Hay and Bel sat very close to each other at the last two rows of the class, Hay with Sean and Bel with Jion. So, feeling comfortable, I just called out "Belden" to the direction in which they are both sitting. I must have did well right? (or so I thought). Here is when, Hay first showcased his "like-to-jio-people" act which I grew accustomed to, by coming up to me naturally and said "yeah I am Belden". Ah, I felt so good then, with a smile on my face I gave BEL's exercise book to HAY. So yeah the dudes at the back laughed at me, and that time I haven't mixed in with them yet so what a way to make an entrance yeh HAY-the-SMARTASS??? Well, I hope Hay wouldn't mind me saying this, but it had always been known that alot of people thinks that Hay is the more-harsh and more-lojoi of the two Chin twins, but I gotta say I never really cared. Maybe it's because I like to "lojoi" at times too so I kinda got along with that side of Hay well, until today. Crazy msn chats with dumb "i-jio-u-u-jio-me" instances more than portray what I'm trying to say.

From now on we won't be seeing "hach" on Valiantz clan chat anymore, number 27 "hach" playing basketball and shooting like a fag anymore, "hach" on dragonica anymore... Just a pity that we can't get rid of him yeh? Since "Hayden <" will still appear on msn >.> Make sure you keep in touch with us or else Bui will cry man. Ohya perhaps Hay would stop following jap and kpop (especially the latter) songs, and get into the groove of er...french rap? XD I'm not sure how that'll be, I assume they go something like "BON BON YO?! YO?!!?! BON BON LOL?" -------------

Well, on behalf of the gang here, I hereby wish Hay all the best in all his undertakings in Aix-blablabla place. Be sure to get your WET french-kiss, a HOT french girlfriend and uhm, DRY french fries. Until we cross paths again, in a couple of years from now, take care man! Hopefully by the time you come back, Bui has finally got his girlfriend yeah!!!!!

Not a better instance to say this, BON VOYAGE and all the best Hay! May the forces be with you all the way to France :D

Signing off with a heavy but gay feeling,
Chris

5 things we didn't actually expect to have alot in this country

2010-03-02T01:43:00.029+08:00

well, things are like everywhere these days, there is cars, houses, boats, bridges etc etc, not only objects, people as well, actors, actresses, guai lows, lands, ethnic groups, petrolem, ermm gas? err nuts, coconut, and many more! but these are the five stuffs we know we have(or dont) and we just dint know its that much

5)Oversea Malaysian Athletes who are doing well actually

Hey look at this dude up here, bet some of you know him, but maybe few of you dint realize that he was born in Miri, Sarawak. i'm not Fking around, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_maloney, Shaun Maloney well, his just good at free kicks, hence doing well, + born in MIRI, hence part malaysian, at some point i'd guess our country coaches actually dint know his existence or so and dint select em.
well theres another dude;

He's Titus James Palani, he is a Malaysian-born footballer who is a midfielder for SM Caen in France,(hayden when you reach there maybe you can look him up). Firstly, he's playing football in another country other than ours, hence doing well, like his last name, hence malaysian, and like every other people, we dint quite know he exist. In addition to this insult, he scored 16 goals! and he actually played in France since 2000, but got called up on 2007!, that's seven years!, lets say his age was a factor for the senior side, but how about the junior side? like under 15 or under 17 or under 18 or under 21 sides during his previous 7 years? call up = 0.
http://wikibin.org/articles/titus-james-palani.html

In other sports, we're actually kinda good in motor sports, anyone of you know Nandakumar Puspanathan, Gunaseelan Rajoo, Karamjit Singh etc etc? these guys are downright rally racers, Karamjit Singh was the first asian to win some event which im lazy to type here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamjit_Singh

he's just saying,"I'm faster than you fags"

There are other so be placed into this list, like the cyclist kiddos who won several international tournament(Fatehah Mustapa (17) - fourth in the recent Asia Cup
Fauzan Ahmad Lutfi (20) - won men’s individual pursuit, Asia Cup),
or that horse and the horse jockey whom won some awesome stuffs (Quzier Ambak Dato’ Mahamad Fathil),
oh yea we're also good at lawn bowl, whatever that is (Nor Iryani Azmi (19) - World No. 3 / Singles Champion of Champions tournament / Melbourne Commonwealth triples team gold).
Fact is that, WE DON'T KNOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING WELL, and i bet there's a whole lot list of these sportsmen/women but being typical msians, i rest my case

4)Knowledge

Yes its true, at some point, some of us didn't realize that we actually have lots of knowledge, like alot, as in LOTS OF PEEPS WITH HIGH IQ, or REALLY SMART PEOPLE, fact is, there is so many of them, and so MANY THAT WERE LEFT OUT by the ermmmm lets just say dudes behind the desk(but yeah you know who i'm talking about) that they left this country to achieve unrealistically awesomeness which they DID! like what was reported on BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1514916.stm,
Malaysians are (Jews of the East) *Yes Jayme, i know its hard to admit*,

In the whole of Asia pacific, there is only two countries who had the same problem (Which is brain drain) and the countries are Philippines and guess what! Malaysia!
it is said There has been a serious brain drain from Malaysia.

Official papers[citation needed] reported that there are a million talented Malaysians working overseas. Recently the brain drain has increased in pace: 300,000 Malaysians migrated overseas within 18 months since Jan 2008 for different reasons and among them 200,000 migrated in the first eight months of 2009. Meaning, Pollux and Jion! you're in this band xD!

Apart from that, our government realize this issue and started to do some stuffs to bring those smart awesome peeps back

Him "Hey, dude come back, i need your knowledge" phone answer "My knowledge or vote?" Him "Vote" Phone answer "Alright you got mine from here *hangs up* Him "Alright problem solved!"

At some point the brain drain continues, and hence the evidence of smart people from our country! (Aren't YOU proud to become a malaysian while reading the first few sentences from Australia or somewhere?)
And well, it has it's own webbie!! http://english.cpiasia.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1612&joscclean=1&comment_id=4049&Itemid=158

To add on to this, there's even a phenomenon in our country where people just can't stop studying, its called the Tuition phenomenon,(well, we all know they want to stop, they just can't e.g parents) and whats more impressive is that there is a phenomenon called String of A's, where there's TOO MANY STRAIGHT A STUDENTS.

"Hey you the person who got 21 A1's right? darn it i just got 19 A1's and 2 A2's Crap"

Comes to the solution part, since everyone is getting smarter, why don't just raise the standard to distinguish the awesome and the okay ones? They can make like, A++ and A+ and A grades, its still all A's and still cool, but hey we all know why the level isn't getting harder do we :D. *Winks at certain people behind the desk*

3)Food

Okay, okay some of you find this part a joke, you might even think, hey we know about food we know lots of it! there's no possibility that we have a lot more than what we know right? right? RIGHT??
It seems, we're actually wrong (being a guy who enjoys food, it sucks to write this part)
We only know somewhat lets say 10% of food in our country? try to make a list, i think an average person like us can list out somewhat 30 dishes? or 20? somewhere around there. it turns out we somewhat missed quite a number, about 300++
Lets have a simple tryout, ever seen these?

or these?

it's not a chicken, its Guinea Fowl, whatever that is, still taste like chicken tho

Or these?

okay this is abit weird, but still haven't seen it

Fact is, we don't know every food yet. Anyone every tried dried bat kut teh? guess not. How about snails? stir fry with ginger!, guess not too. How about Devil's Curry?(not kidding!) its some Eurasian food. Or Tuna Morney? or Pork Vindaloo? or Prawn Bostador? or Roti Jala? or Koay Kak? or Enche Kabin? or Laksa Lemak? or Babi Chin (really its called that xD)? to infinity and beyond!!
Theres really shitloads of food we haven't tasted or even heard from, so its worth to have a food trip once a while :D
Theres a site to see about more foods, like wikipedia or http://www.malaysianfood.net

2)Actual Findings

Yeap its true, for those of you who says here sucks in every way, its still true, just there's actual breakthrough during your lifespan in these areas. The latest so far i'd guess is the Maerogel. i think it's a literal translation of Malaysian Aerogel. Those of you who know what aerogel is, you know its cool, those of you who don't, just wiki it and you'll know its cool.

You can place it on your hand and burn it without burning your hand! how cool is that!

Apart from the actual findings, we also did a breakthrough in biodiesel, which i think most of you readers known about already.

How about a joint cooperation to work with Rolls Royce with UTM? i bet that kicked ya in the balls.
Also, you dint know they were working with Cambridge do you? Yes they are!, working together to make some kelapa sawit engine or something, i can't quite recall it.
They also work with Imperial College, on field of membranes for energy applications and CO2 capture. It encompasses membrane catalysis, novel multi-functional membrane fabrication and performance of its reactor systems. WTF IS THIS?

Still theres lot's more, like some mechanism for the disabled, some super blue tooth thing, there's another breakthrough, where shrimps skins been used in bones! or the wireless antenna thing(why this of all things to go wireless?)
or some cool ones like Kadomide' Standardised Kadok Extract as Antiangiogenic agent.(I have no idea WTF this is, someone please fill us in this)(seriously)

They also did build a Automatic Floor Tile Laying Machine, back in 2007(it actually brings me to question why are the workers for in the first place?)

You know your face verification system stuffs? guess who found it? WRONG!, yes it is them. EMoFaceID: Online Face Identification System Using Real-TimeEyes and Mouth Tracker (EMoTracker)back in 2007, at USM.

Also the first country to use RFID tech in passport! yes your red malaysian passport is a piece of technology, acknowledge it now! or forever be banished! Your passport has one of a kind, chip mostly on the back cover, where you realize you can skip the long queue of stamping the passport and just go to this machine at KLIA.
Theres the Palm island too. what a waste eh?
We're one of the world's biggest hard disk manufacturer too, so your HDD, better make in Malaysia.

There's alot more breakthrough, just well, i did not find them all, its a pain in the arse. But then still, heck we didn't know we got that many breakthrough did we?

1)Money

Its true, among SEA countries, we're the richest(not screwing around). Well lets look at Malaysian BILLIONAIRES first, we have Robert Kuok and Ananda Krishnan, mega rich peeps,and as quoted from forbes "Malaysia is a particularly bright spot, turning out one-fourth of Southeast Asia's superwealthy, including six billionaires, among them Robert Kuok, the region's richest individual, worth $4.1 billion" then we have a whole list of people who are rich, like really rich e.g people behind the desk :D
http://www.forbes.com/2004/08/25/04seasialand.html

But hey not all of them are there because you know behind the desk... there's peep who worked their way up, like this dude:

Bang! its me!

There's alot more too, but hey, lets go down to earth now and see the global statistics, the GDP for our country in 2008 is 195 Billion, that's alot, for an area of 329,845 km2. Tho we cant compare to Singapore which is the biggest GDP in SEA with a GDP per capita (PPP) of US$49,288 while ours is somewhat $14,081 per capita, but hey bigger than China! which has $6,549 per capita, but their GDP value is $8.767 trillion, TRILLION.
Anyways Malaysia GDP ranks her at 48th in the world so far, and going up as its recognized as a newly industrialized country in 2008.
So as far as opportunities that's going to arise, there's going to be many! smile peeps!
In the 2008 List by the World Bank, we are placed 41, ahead of some countries like Singapore, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Ukraine, and all the others below the band in that list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29

So yeah we know we have rich peeps, just we dint know there's THAT MANY. There's annually a list of these rich dudes every year. So girls, if you find these peeps you know what to do!, and guys if you look like them, go for their daughters! science has given an increase chance of attraction if you look like em! proven! it's a fact! seriously!

All and all, there we go, 5 things we didn't realize we got so many of, so now, i'ma chill till the next eureka moment to write out another list of stuffs xD. till then, whos free, tell me, i can visit you peeps anywhere anytime!
Till then, CHAOSZ!

A Little Peace of Mind

2010-02-12T23:16:00.001+08:00

Hellows.
First of all, I just wanna say we're all pretty much parting ways now after VK's recent departure. It was sad that I couldn't meet up with him before I left for KL nor could The PotatoSLAMmers be there to have dinner with him just before he takes off for Aussie.
I did make the effort of getting internet on the night before VK goes to Brunei the following morning to catch his flight, and tried to gather the remaining of us online to chat him goodbye and wish him off to a good start. But it was a total fail as Bui kept dc-ing perpetually and Bel couldn't even get into his msn because their line was very much unstable.And Rol - dude, where were you XD Sadly, I was the only one to see VK offline. Oh well, at least we tried! Despite it all, on behalf of the PotatoSLAMmers, I wish VK and Jayme best of luck in their survival in Aussie and enjoy to the fullest of the cheap pizzas there before they got sienz of it.

I've just a my warm shower since a long time. Ahhhh sizzle.

My flight was a bit lucu lah. Apart from the delay by Airasia which was considered to be normal and expected of, I was pretty much in the air by 8pm. Over the radio, the flight attendant was talking about the usual safety protocols and an introduction about the plane, the flight number, the place, and the captain of the plane whose name was....- That's when the radio paused or rather, it got cut off. My assumption was that at that moment, the rookie co-captains were duelling down the stakes of captainship...with a game of rock-paper-scissors.
After the commercial break, the captain spoke over the radio with his jolly merry tone since it was the new year mood, swings tend to be about the corner. I mentioned it was around 8pm. So you should very well know how bright the day was at this hour.
Captain : "And on the left we have Kuantan, Pahang whilst on the Rrrright there's the DataRrrran Titiwangsa. Now we'Rrrre flying over the South China Sea heading stRrrraight to MiRrrri International AiRrrrport."
Dude. How could you miss the Rrrr on InteRrrrnational.
But really? It was nighttime with hardly any light in the sky and he's telling info about a mountain range to my right, like we would know.
Even if he said there's a fat dude in a tight red suit riding on a snow-sledge bought from eBay and being pulled by 6 jetpacked-reindeers, all-in-all, was cruising under the plane and stealing the cargo to fill his large red sack for God-knows-what reason, like hell we would know.
Unless, the right turbine engine lights up like a christmas tree in the pitch black sky, then yeah, I would know.

Ever got a feeling of regret? Like something we would remember because it did or did not happen?
Well, I believe that regrets are the worst possible memories. But there are two types of regrets.
One being the result of trying and making a mistake which is deemed regrettable. Another one being the result of not trying at all and you WISHED YOU COULD have done it/do something at that moment.
The latter, in my opinion, is the worse.
When a window of opportunity is ajar, you might be able to spot it when the room(your situation) starts to get a little bit breezy. Like talking to others, taking the opportunity to meet new people. The only regrets are: "Oh damn, I shouldn't have said this or done that".
But it goes down into your memory, and you learn from that, right?
Imagine the opposite scenario: You don't bloody care what goes on around you. In fact, every day is like a normal day. And normal days don't go into your memory. Because life is like a picture book with chapters of imprinted thoughts both happy and sad, memorable or delusional. But you decide how big of a picture book you want because you're both the author and the illustrator.
So this here is a tip to a better and more meaningful life: Move, Think twice but not thrice, Go because you're not moving fast enough due to hesitation. And the results will unfold, good or bad, that's your luck and skill.
Bottomline is, you tried. That's all that counts. Really.
A life with less(I won't say without) regrets is a happy life which means
->a life well lived -> a happier death.
Yeah, bet you can't look at death any more optimistic than that, huh?

You'd better watch me shine

Tomorrow, nan sesanggwa ssawo ssawo igyeo
Tomorrow, naneun namanui giri isseo
Tomorrow, geudaewa ip matchuneul haneun
Tomorrow, now I can do it for sure

I can make it right, I can make it right

I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and a Happy (Chinese) New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Parting of Ways. TEMPORARILY MAN

2010-02-08T12:06:00.010+08:00

Woot I have the luxury of putting in the first entry for this year, and funnily enough the last one before I leave for Perth tomorrow. I've been through this kind of thing before - the feeling of parting ways, just that I was on the receiving end all these while. Bui going to UTP for studying, Bel going to UTP for studying, Hay going to somekinda-uni in Bangi for studying and Rol going to West Malaysia for...vacation. Well it's time to move my own ass now, and yes for studying of course.

Ohya as you guys have heard from me before, I went to JB and Singapore for vacation end of last month. My parents thought they'd bring me for some fun before I leave for Perth so they made this trip possible, too bad without Fui this time as that dude's over in the National Service camp for some intense be-a-man program. It was an odd feeling without him around but we got on with it.

Basically it was more like a shopping-for-necessities trip for me. We went to City Square and Tebrau City shopping complexes and spent two days there respectively. So I managed to find meself winter clothings and new shoes and stuff. For each day it didn't take the day long for me and my dad to enter our ultimate nightmares - mum and sis' shopping spree. The damned duration for the girls to shop meant that my dad and I were stranded in the mall doing nothing. We walked around nonstop and the heels of our feet went from hero to zero. There was this instance when I overheard (unintentionally) a young couple behind us talking. It was oblivious that they were a new couple, dating for the first time.

Girl: Hey is it me or is ur hand sweaty?

Boy: Yeah I think its mine...

*silence. walked past me and my dad* (how LOL was that? kinda reminded me of my own experience when I...)

uhum the next day we went to this restaurant called Kim Gary. It's a rather famous fine dining place and the food was awesome. Apparently nowadays many fine dining places allow the customers to order their own food, as in by ticking their choices on the printed menus prepared on every table. Obviously we're new there so we had to ask this waiter to help us tick (can't help to think that he's thinking : F you noob assholes) but waddaheck I was hungry like Bui so I didn't really bother to look at his face. Anyway I ordered this crazy looking tom yam noodles soup and it was so red from the exterior that I thought I was looking at a Manchester United jersey. So I "enjoyed" the meal and was SO full and SO bloated at the end. When we went to pay at the counter, my sis and I were standing right at the entrance (stupid Kim GAY restaurant had the counter right beside the entrance) and this other waitress came to me and asked : "Table for two? =)" What the f...

The third day couldn't have come soon enough for me - Singapore trip! Bui wanted to make me feel happy... for HIM AND THE GANG by telling me that they (Bui, Bel, Hay, Kershia, Adam etc.) were meeting up in KL. So he told me that early in the morning and I kept him pretty occupied by replying random crap to his sms's. I knew I did a great job as I managed to drag the sms exchanges until I crossed the JB/Sgpore border and I saw my hp's main page turned from Digi to StarHub. And so Bui's hp credit, inevitably, got kicked right in the ass >=D

It was a one day trip so we went straight to Sentosa Island. Well it's like the best place to be in Sgpore than having to look at numerous high rise buildings and kiasu humanoids. Saw plenty of Phua Chu Kang's pictures on LRTs too, but I was kinda tired from the taxi ride so I totally ignored his faggot-like picture.

Here though, are some non-faggot-like pictures to share:

Damn man the spaghetti was uber nice. I swear to blablabla I did not put this shit up. This dish came with those two potato sticks, crossed like X-men. Seriously wtf? The waiter gave it to me and said "Enjoy your meal"... but the dish was like implying to me "DO NOT EAT"

Dolphins! Yeah call me sakai or whatever but it was my first experience seeing real dolphins on show. Cant help to imagine that the dolphins were talking amongst themselves: "Son of a B**** I hate my job" , "Screw those humans" or perhaps "You're Hayden and I'm Belden ^^v" or even "Hey you look like Bui :D"

SeaLION - Flappers of Death

Me, mum and sis, underwater world.

er... hi :D

Sentosa Island FAIL - Why? Once again I'm not making this shit up - The sign says "High Voltage"

For some reason I unusually experienced this kick ass high air pressure problem to me ears throughout the flight back to Miri. You know, the I CANT HEAR YOU CLEARLY "sensation" when the plane takes off/lands. So I was listening to my mp3 all along and I was listening to crap.

Boys Like Girls - Heart Heart Heartbreak

And we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak.

And I don't ever , ever wanna hear you say.

Don't say you love me, don't even,

Don't say you love me, you're leaving. (you don't have to say man I can't hear shiet at the moment!)

Seriously, that's the kinda "sensation" that made the song sound like that. Well that paragraph of dung ends my short vacation experience.

It's late in the evening now and I'm only 50% for my packing :D. Well it has been a great ride with you guys. This sounds frigging gay, but I will miss you guys. not

Bui - Good luck on the 11th. I hope you can give the ***** to ****** without having your balls drop off.

Bel - Keep on drawing and I'll always look up at your fb/dArt to "admire" more artworks!

Hay - I won't be seeing you for a darn long time so all the best in France and when you do get your first french kiss do let me know :)

Rol - Keep drinking and driving. and yeah Liverpool sucks x)

This has got to be the gay-est and most emo post I've ever written. Can't take this anymore man, so till next time! Tchao guys!

Keep in touch via this blog for eternity... whatever man.

Chris.

the "ULTIMATE" Journey So FARRRR

2009-12-13T01:57:00.002+08:00

bloody hell, its been really long since I've written one but hey so what! well the day after my STPM its been quite some time and its been the time for my life, an experience to fucking incredibly f*cked up that your going to be like hey lucky it ain't me and well i'm going to f*cking give off some tips for long distance traveling for future pals, parents, to be parents, to be pals, assholes and travelers!!

DAY ONE
The very morning on the 10th of December 2009 I've been given a daunting task ...................................... to drive to Kota Kinabalu.

for those who never driven more than 10km away from home, the experience you're about to face without any MENTAL preparation and physical preparation, is extremeeeeeeeeeee. So I took off after i had a cup of milk and just some snacks, thinking, neh how hard could it possibly be? just drive, how long? 6 hours? not so bad, yeah there's a map, a gps phone, some bottles of water, some snacks and a full tank of gas and before i took off, i take the last look at my big map. i track my road, Miri---> kuala Belait---> kuala Lurah ----> limbang ---->bukok ----> Labu----> lawas----> sipitang----> beaufort----> Papar----> penapang ------> KOTA KINABALU.

so i set off, strolling around....... around 80-90km/h steady speed, breathing the fresh air, and yes its 5am. somewhat some time later i reached sungai tujuh checkpoint where we always get through into kuala belait, yeaaa its steady.. cool.... till........ i try to get to kuala Lurah..... here's what went horribly wrong:
1) The map is not drawn to scale and totaly misleading which legends like malay shop and Chinese shop (what the f*ck man who looks out for coffeeshop NAMES???)
2) i'm not moving at a fast speed (somewhat weird in brunei, i was moving 110, and on the left lane, everyone just STROLL pass me, omg....)
3) i asked for directions from idiots (really, "oh kuala lurah ah? pergi situ" WHERE THE F*CK IS SITU? I ALSO CAN POINT ANYWHERE AND SAY THATS THE DIRECTION TO KK LAAAAA)
4) the other MAP given by my dad to me the day before really hard to read!!! (like, follow the red arrow, okay follow follow follow, it brought me to some kampung road which made me literally lost, and the map has a cool legend like, cola shop, paddy field, sign board [WHAT SIGN BOARD? i saw lots like simpang 108 then simpang 203])
5) My mp3 player only had 36 songs, around this time i heard every song about twice already
6) I'm alone, i acctually talked to myself at some point (REALLY CRAZY)

So i then try to trust my instinct like yeah turn here looks right, yea this way is right, and WOW I END UP AT JERUDONG PARK! so steady see the park but hey....... i passed it twice already...... SHIT i was moving in circles that time...... so i stop to a nearby shell station to ask for directions. I asked the dude there and surprisingly same answer "pergi sana sampai sudah" (at that point i was like wheres sana and how long is sudah?) and another cool answer "pusing kat simpang 256" (can't quite remember which simpang already 200 something) and well ok at LEAST i got a decent direction and yeah i'ma go off once more, till i see the first junction................. simpang 1920

WHAT THE F*CK IM LIKE 1k++ SIMPANGS TILL THE ACTUAL CORNER???? Alas i just drove on and my instincts guide me once more..... (since is just a straight road) till i saw PIZZA HUT!! YES!!! CIVILIZATION ACROSS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT!! then comes a dilemma... should turn left or right or go straight ah? the directions just saw pass through jerudong to reach kuala Lurah. but WHICH WAY??? (future map makers please take note... put LOGICAL SIGNS like errr mosque or temple or something significant, not houses and pipelines which is literally everywhere) and i thought to myself just go towards the pizzahut and WOW it was the right way!! and at this moment was the climax part of the lex aeterna song, was kinda dramatic for me since im alone....

and yeah after following through some simple signboards, i reach the kuala lurah checkpoint......... which was jammed.

jam like really jammed, somehow people can park their cars on the side of the road (which causes the jam since like its a 2 way street but since BOTH sides got car its like a 1 way so everyone is like really SLOW) and walk across the boarder just to buy back chicken wings and stuffs across..... which reminds me of a point where why KFC keeps their 11 herbs and spices secret SOOOOO tightly while actually its not the chicken taste that attract us but its a pain in the ass to cook chicken at home.... which make me realize that they are saying..... "its not that our currency is strong that we park our car across the border to get here, it's just there's good chicken wings across it" and wow was there for like 1 hour.....

and HELLO LIMBANG!! when i reached limbang, i realize 3 things
1) i'm hungry
2) i need more songs
3) i'm not even 1/3 through and its 12noon

i stop by this mamat store and had 2 roti telurs and stroll my way off away from limbang. (before i stroll off i JUST THEN REMEMBERED i bought that car adapter thing for my laptop which i then plug in my laptop and played MORE songs along the way)

i drove on to bubok or something like that, where i pass through the immigration once more and drove on till i met 2 great challenges
1) i'm crossing 2 rivers which ferry
2) the Jam is f*cking long

the jam is really annoying, nonetheless i managed to watched like 8 episodes of simpsons season 20 before reaching the next immigration point which she then told me i missed an immigration point before the last ferry.................... f*ck, they told me before the last ferry theres a small "pondok" immigration checkpoint in brunei, the labu checkpoint......... so i had to went around.... (who makes this immigration shit anyways? they should intro some touch and go concept with the passport where we go through this shit and they say hey you're out of malaysia and into somewhere else with no malaysian jurisdiction ) and i went back.........................into the ferry jam ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ... so i go on with my simpsons series finished another 4 episodes till i get into the checkpoint and stamp my f*cking passport and went back into the F*CKING FERRY JAM ONCE MORE

I then finished another 4 episodes of Simpsons and wow FINALLY get to the immigration checkpoint once more to go into lawas and CRAPPP THE LINE SOOO LONG>>>>>>>>

after lining up i DROVE LIKE WILD into lawas!!! then straight ON!!! AND SHIT NO FUEL!!! but THANK GOD i saw a SHELL station and refueled once more!! and MOVING ON TO LAWAS!! At the lawas border it was about 3pm already... i asked the lady at the immigration counter how long before i reached KK, she answered 2 more hours....
wow 2 more hours my gawddd...... then i drove on..... and on and on to sipitang... and i asked the same question as i did with the previos counter.. it was already 4pm and WOW the answer is STILL 2 HOURS WTF!!

Into sipitang is where i totaly speed up.... cutting cars and shitsz!! and well, throughout the trip i made a friend... with the white myvi behind me all the while for like since at LIMBANG. and its QMN car plate, whoever the driver is, they are from MIRI. everything i cut a car i'll look and my mirror and say, come on Myvi cut cut cut, for some bloody reason, that car is like my only companion.... till i speed off and never seen it again. FARKKKKKK. and then i breached beaufort and well i'd thought to myself i better take a rest and eaten a mee goreng at some shop. and move on driving.....
looking at the map and i see more stupid signs like..... coconut shop and sugar cane shop...omfg this starts to blow me out.... it was already 5 at that moment and i had officially driven for 12 hours, 12 f*cking hours alone!!!! and i'm getting out of my mind. bloody hell i even counted how many coconut stores i went through since we are along the coast theres coconut shop EVERYWHERE so to prove how bloody wrong the map was and i lost count after counted 16 coconut stores.

and finally i thought i'd never say this during the last few moment of my drive and i actually felt really happy when i saw the sign, kota kinabalu but kinda f*cked up when i see 33KM

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and yesh finally i reached my destination, i was so relieved like really relaxed that time soooooo relaxed.... till crap where i stay? the MAP once more says jalan Istiadat.... WHERE THE FISH IS THAT???? i end up driving around like 7pm looking for my apartment to stay in. Then turned the map to the next page, the apartment is at Likas Square, once more IM NOT A LOCAL WHERES LIKAS SQUARE AND WHOS IM GOING TO STOP AT 7PM TO ASK FOR DIRECTION???
and well after wondering endlessly i actually reached the likas stadium and likas square was somewhat nearby and YESH I FINALLY REACH THERE!! AFTER LIKE 13 hours of DRIVE!!! then i went to the counter stated my name, they give me a card key and well i was off to my room......... till i face my room door..... no cardhole.
really like i tried to slot every possible slot but i cant get the card in, UNTILL i realize its some RFID tech where you just use your card to touch the door knob and it opens (how cool was that!?), and if youre wondering how come i think do that earlier, well i just drove for somewhat 13 hours!!!! man 13 HOURS!! my brain's screwed up!!! i then took a nice rest till 9pm...

at that moment alone for so long, you tend to look for someone to meet and chat just to get a touch of civilization, so i smsed ah fui, he replied sure sure. and well yeah i then changed and start to drive off. HALFWAY to ah fuis hotel he smsed me hes tired and he want to sleep and go drink next time, WTF MAN FUI WTF I JUST DROVE FOR 13 HOURS AND SUCH IMPACT TOTALY BURNED ME OUT MAN!!! i was like WHAT THE FISHHHHHHH. i then smsed him constantly till he go out drink with his pals and me xD.

well i brought them opposite warisan square, where theres lots of bars and pubs, so i'd bring them through a club and wow the singers were somewhat hawt and ah fuis like WOW his eyes became WILD!!!

like WILD !!!

so i settle down on a pub with them and start chatting to get my touch back and drink some shizzzzzz...... ah fui on the other hand

ordered

carrot juice.

really

well after some cool chat with em i'd send them back to the hotel and well im off back to my apartment and to have some awesome rest........ end of day 1

LESSONS LEARNT!!!

DONT MISS ANY IMMIGRATION ITS A TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS
DRIVE A BIG CAR (Really like a 4x4 cars, my Camry is sooo uncomfortable under those road conditions)
KNOW WHATS RFID

The Other Side

Ever went clubbing before? Me neither.

My roomies did go though. One of them is a frequent clubber so he brought along others to try it out. I was excused because I had a mecanique exam the following day. Basically, the best day of the week for clubbing is Ladies Night, that's when ladies get free entry and/or free stuff too. Entry fee, which differs for each club, roughly cost rm30 just to enter. Natureally, where there are ladies, there's bound to be a magnetic pull for guys too. Just so happens that my roomies went for an event night whereby the entry fee is free if you give them the password. YEAH A PASSWORD! HOW COOL IS THAT?

I hear a lot of weird stories going down there like seeing Malays in clubs which I thought is breaking the Islamic code to drink alcohol >.> and there are dares too. As in 2 hot chicks walk right up to you and your friend and say, "Yo dude, if you kiss your friggin ugly friend over there, I'll give you some sugar rawr!". AWESOME STUNT YO! My friend did that before. Maybe you would, you wouldn't. As for me, I don't think I could ever look at my friend the same way as I did before LOL. Some dude even offered my friend, "hey brudda, you want to get high or not? this one shipment baru. it's really good shizzz." zzz, and yea girls getting drunk, loads of hot stuff going down. However, this particular event has girls going up! Pole-dancing stylla.

Overall, my friends had a great time letting their dark side out like opening bottles of beer, being manipulated by females(or the other way around), burning a pack of cigarettes, hitting the dance floor and stalking people. Best way to enjoy it is "let yourself go" and prepare an opened mind. It's 'another world' atmostphere to behold. You can try it out yourself but just remember where your principles in life lie and watch out for hangovers!

Sleepy... hach

Slim River Sabotage - Role Support's View

2009-10-04T22:09:00.007+08:00

On the 3rd of October, which was a Saturday, our church had a plan going on ever since the beginning of last month. We were to go to a place which lies on the outskirts of Ipoh, between Ipoh and KL, known initially as 'Slim River'. My care group - Amity Glow - was the only group that was assigned to be on the front lines. The objective was to pay a 'planned' visit to a person who left our church a due to call of duty's work and was placed in this small town, Slim River. This person is named as Alexis and works as a dentist. She was informed that only our group of meeger 5 would only be coming. But of course, that was what she thought.

The day started as we departed from UTP at 11am, stopped by Tronoh to take-away our lunch then head to Batu Gajah Train Station by 11.50am. So our train is scheduled to arrive at 1.15pm - well then, we got down to business by planning our moves when we get there. In our group, consists of Yen Pinng(our CG leader),Mellissa,Daphnee(Mel's friend),Richard(a talkative one :D) and me. The main plan was to distract Alexis by Richard pretending to lose his handphone and get her out to help him search for it. I was selected to role-support Richard by aiding him in his act. Yen Pinng, Mel, Daph would stay at the house to keep the doors open for the 'Ambush Team' and keep the preparations in tact. After planning, we killed time by sharing ghost stories, chatting (the girls had their own conversation, I was trying to keep up with Rich xD) and also tried shooting some videos ( Try picturing a lonely road down the empty train station in the blaze of the midday sun) till the train arrives..

So on the train, the rows were 2by2. Me and Richard were SUPPOSE to sit side by side. But because Daph and Yen Pinng sat down 1st, Mel was left to sit with another 'fat man'. Richard being the gentleman, gave his seat to Mel - ending up with Richard alone with the stranger and me with Mel. LOL What was funny was, Richard said to Mel, "Hey, no problem, you're welcome, yeap." But Mel replied, "What?" I couldn't help it but to just laugh cause' Mel's being blur as ever and said to her,"I think he meant you should thank him for giving his seat to you xD".
The train ride was rather smooth, having a few stops. Even had the movie Monsters Inc. playing and it was quite funny since I have not watched it in awhile. Chatted with Mel too, to pass the time (confidential stuffs Hehehe HAHAHA :))

Upon arrival of the Slim River Station, we got down to meet Alexis already waiting there. Richard getting up to the act, said,"Eh, I go toilet 1st." So we all head over the the toilet's waiting bay and talk a few stuffs while waiting for Richard. Alexis actually was sending off 2 friends just right before we arrive. Meaning the 2 friends boarded the same train we left. So Alexis was like 'Bye bye' then 'Hi hi' xD Richard took a long time in there then finally came out. His reason - "Stomach ah, sorry about that." Then we head off to the car, but me and Richard wondered around abit to have more places to cover. While doing that, Richard told me,"You know I feel sorry for that guy on the train." I was puzzled. Then he said,"I bet that guy was like 'Oh yes, a pretty girl is gonna sit right beside me!' Then suddenly I changed seats, then he'd be like 'Awwww..'" XD

In the car, Alexis toured us around the small lil' town of Slim River. Our 1st stop was the lake. We got down and went to the lake shore to have a view. Then we started picking up rocks and throwing them. Richard and I were competiting to see who can throw furthest. Mel and Daph also tagged along but the cool thing was their throwing actions. Richard immitated each one of them to be so girly. He emphasized on Mel's : Pick up a rock, look far ahead- gaze into the distant horizon, followed by a delicate throw with just the right hand up to elbow's length swinging upwards, left arm straight, body wobbling slightly forward with legs lightly bent. And the rock travels no more than 10 feet xD Richard talked about wanting to go fishing. So with that we headed down to Alexis's favourite place to shop for necessities - Family Mart!

We looked around the place abit to find it rather small but kinda big in a small town like Slim River. We tried looking for nylon strings but couldn't find any - we did not want to anyways since we don't think we got time to fish if something big was gonna come later xD We exited the shop soon. But before that we bought ice-cream! But the thing was, Alexis said she already has ice-cream available at home. But after some convincing to get the ice we want, we step up to the paying counter. Richard being initiative, paid the ice cream himself. I was suppose to pay next but Alexis took the que and said,"Alright, I'll pay for these" and took the rest of the ice-creams "Richard already paid so it's alright." xD Richard was like "HEY" LOL

So our last stop was Alexis's humble home(after showing us abit of here and there including a what we thought an abandoned post office but still fully functional and even her workplace at a poly clinic) While in the car, we talked about our plan for the day was to sleep and relax at Alexis's place to Alexis. When we got down and unloaded our belongings and looked around abit, Richard got into phase of action. He started feeling his pockets and looking puzzled. "Eh?" was his 1st words of worry. I asked,"What? Wassup?"
Richard: My phone, where is it? (starts to look over)You guys seen it?
Me: What? Lost your phone?
YP,Mel,Daph: Huh?
Richard: Oh no. (rushes to the car and checks the seats) Hey guys where is it? Stop playing bah, I saved alot of things in there you know.
Me:No, le we didn't take. You guys took it?
YP,Mel,Daph: No ohh (They started searching over the place)
Richard: Woi guys, not kidding le, stop playin around.
Me:Didn't take! (By this time we already caught Alexis's attention with our worried and serious looks)
Alexis took some time to get the info in and finally she agreed to help Richard look for it. I tagged along. Our 1st place to search was the train station. In the car:
Me:Do you remember where you put it?
Richard: I know my phone was still with me when I was in the train. I even checked it as we got out.
Me:Could it have falled out? How much was it?
Richard: About 1k plus. Not even 1 year old man. Still new. Hey, are you trying to comfort me or what?
Me:No,no, just trying to share your pain. Wow, 1k..
(We were all adding effects to how important the phone is and what this search is for to Alexis)

When we got to the station, Richard dashed to the toilet. I got down and looked around, "Do you know what was Richard's handphone colour?"I asked Alexis. She shook her head. "I think it was glossy black." I replied, then went to the toilet to check on Richard. He was just leaning against the wall, face down xD "Ok stay here for awhile while I'll search abit with Alexis" I told him. When I got out, Alexis was already asking the people at the counter. No findings (of course) and next she went to ask the workers in charge of cleaning. Richard came out at a distance and I walked over to him to report our situation. So a total of 3 people were asked about a lost handphone. With no results obtained, we stayed and search the places we explored. After giving up on the station, we head to Slim River lake.

Upon reaching there, I sent a status report to YP saying we're at our 2nd stop. Richard and I search the places we stood before - places near the lake shore filled with grass, gravel and such. We tried searching deeply since the tall grass was a hindrance. After awhile of hard search under the sun. We agreed to head to our next stop. In the car:
Me:Hey are sure you didn't err, accidentally throw your phone into the lake?
Alexis laughed at this, lol.
Richard: No, I don't think so. Couldn't have. That would only make me look stupid.
xD

When we got to the Family Mart, I sent another status report. So Richard got down and into the mart. We searched high and low for the missing phone. Alexis even wanted to call her friends on the train to help look for Richard just in case he misplaced his phone on the train. But Richard assured her that he still had it when he just got out of the train. While we were still in our act, I received an sms from YP stating that they all set. So that was our que to leave. So we got to our lines.
Richard: Hey, Bel. Before this I passed you my PSP together with my handphone right?
Me: Well, I know you passed me your PnW papers, PSP...but I'm not sure about your handphone.
Richard: Don't have mer? I thought that I remembered got something like that?
Me: I don't know. Your PSP casing was also black and so is your phone. I just accepted whatever you give me then just slip them into my bag.
Alexis still being determined and persistent to search, insisted that she calls YP to ask check the bags if they can find Richard's hp. Then we waited for YP's reply. Then, Alexis's hp rang and she answered. Soon enough, a smile broaden her face and said "Ok hold on, I'll let Richard hear this." and pass the phone to Richard. Obviously they had already found the phone in my bag. Richard being shocked pass the phone to me. I was also shocked and asked "Which compartment did you find it?" YP replied "The side one,haha"(But my bag doesn't have any side compartments, so oh well.) I just laughed back and said thanks.

Richard was feeling shocked and stupid at the same time while in the car. He also kept blaming me that I had forgotten I had placed the phone in my bag. I just kept saying "Sorry la, I know I'm getting old!" Richard also kept apologizing to Alexis for wasting her petrol and time over this wild goose chase. But Alexis was really happy to have found something which what was thought to be lost and has been found. So we had a happy drive back home to Alexis's house. After reaching her place with just YP in sight, Alexis did a steady reverse parking into her car poarch. And as we got out...
SUDDENLY A BUNCH OF HUNGRY MAD PEOPLE WITH COLOURED WATER BOMBS RUSHED INTO THE SCENE. Alexis 'screamed' and ran into the streets. I said to the mad Ambush Team,"Go, Go! Don't waste it!" Hahaha Alexis soon was subdued to the capture and got all wet! Me and Richard kept smiling. When Alexis got back into the driveway, she asked:
Alexis: Richard, your phone wasn't lost all along? It was an act?
Richard: Yeap(broad smiles)
Alexis: And you Belden, you were playing all the way?You knew?
Me:Hahaha xD
Alexis: I thought Belden was a good boy, now I know the real youu.
Me:I was forced! !
Alexis: Oh my, I don't know what to say, I'm really surprise.
Vern: So how do you feel?
Alexis: I feel... I got punk'd!
Everyone: Woooooot~ claps*

The Ambush Team consists of Bui, Vern(Leader), Javier, Teck Kiong, Jenny, Witton, David, Gilberth, Josmith and Wong Ning. They actually embarked much earlier than us for the cause of preparation - namely the water balloons, heard they prepared it at a Petronas gas station near Slim River. Vern also mentioned there was once when Alexis's car with me and Richard inside passed by the White Toyota van which carried the Ambush Team. The people in the van were holding their breaths and hoped Alexis didn't see them. Fortunately, Alexis was looking another way. Just right after that, Vern received a call from YP saying that they just left. Overexcited by the coincidence, Vern gave the orders "GO GO GO!" and off they went to prepare the things at Alexis's house. Time effective!

But of course, this visit is rather special. Vern came out to the car poarch to present a small cake with a candle placed on it. And there goes the B'day song. After that, the tradition to pull the candle out of the cake starts. Vern held the cake for Alexis. But Alexis felt insecure and asked if she can hold the cake. At first, nope, not allowed. So Bui and Vern held down her arms. But after awhile we gave in and let her hold it. But the process was rather slow because every moment she brought the cake close to her face, she would look around and smile - eyeing our every actions. But soon enough, Teck Kiong popped out from the side and shoved the cave to her face with Vern's help. Cream-drenched-faced dragged the nearst person to be one of her - Bui. Then me t.t And the infection spreaded fast.

But darn it the cake was hard to wash off! xD We even offered Alexis to personally punish Richard by holding him down and wet him with water bombs. After fun dirtying each other outside (Even Alexis's colleagues next door wondered what's all the commotion about) we cleaned up. I had to use David's shampoo to wash my hair before entering the house. Bui was drenched in multi coloured cream on the side of his face. Nearly made him look like Two-Face from the Dark Knight XD Alexis told them about wanting to call the 2 people on the train to help search for Richard's phone earlier. But Vern added truth to her that the 2 people on the train already knew about this plan, so even though if Alexis were to call them, they wouldn't bother to search for the missing phone. At this point Alexis was like - Don't know who to trust already xD

But it wasn't over yet, Vern came back for a 2nd round of cake, this time even larger and heart-shaped. Alexis was paranoid whether that was gonna be slammed to her face. We said yea, we still got a 3rd cake in the fridge. No la just kidding xD - Butter creamed cake made me sick...

We took turns to bath, Alexis took longest to bath cause' she had cake stucked in her hair loll. We ate some good junks there. I spilled 100 plus while pouring it into a cup I was balancing between my lap. It fell of course since my legs were not 90degrees perpendicular to the ground. Whoops xD(Niub) We chat around and even ate mooncakes. And were also shown a video we all made in coordination of Alexis's transfer to Slim River. We all had prepared a survival kit for her last semester. Before we left, we all signed her Visitor's book on a page she titled - UTPians Sabotage. We all took shifts to draw our sigs. I drew Richard's hp for him and he wrote there "Where's my phone below it?" lol. I was given the middle part to draw. After I finished my sig, Javier said,"Wah, yours so gaya, now I don't feel like putting down my sig since mine would look so.." Richard also added," Yealo, you should've done yours last la, now everyone like no mood to put down." I was like,"What?! You guys like, didn't put down so I put down 1st loo."

We left the house after taking a few group shots in the evening. The journey back to UTP was abit long. I was with Teck Kiong, Gilberth and Josmith. The girls travelled in Alexis's car. Bui and the rest went with the van. But due to time constraint, the van was to head straight back to church for the Praise and Worship team to practice for the Sunday service. So poor Bui could not afford to join dinner with us. Because we stopped at Kampar's famous restaurant on the way back! Alexis ordered their famous curry chicken bread and 3 other sumptious dishes. Alot of people that night too, since it was mooncake night. Alot of weddings held too. The dinner amounted to RM163 if I'm not mistaken. But good ol' Alexis paid for us even though we insisted on paying her back. Her reply,"Give your money to God during your tithings at church tomorrow and that would be enough to pay me back." LOL

So we reached back at UTP at around 9.30pm. It was a long night, Teck Kiong complained his seat was rather hot (could be heat dissipation of the engine probs.) and it was drizzling alil but the screen was rather blur so we had to follow backlights of cars to see the road xD Daphnee prepared sandwiches for us for the trip back too. Sardine I think the flavour was. Yea, real tired that night. But fun yea, yea? Yea. :D With our exams coming soon, we're still busy with our lives haha! Hope this read can account to your time spent on it. Till then guys, Ciaosss

Lately I've been trying to send Bui this song, but his "LAN" line over in his hostel room is so screwed up that the transfer has failed for five consecutive days. However just now Bui came up with a brilliant idea - keep chatting whilst the transfer is going on. Well it DID work, all credit to Bui (this part is so wrong), but I had to make do with chatting with him for 30 mins.

What's Your Success to Secret?

2009-08-29T13:40:00.001+08:00

“What’s the point of getting a girlfriend, huh? We’re going to France in one year, no point also lah…” These were one of the many words my friend, my roomie, KS, said to me during one of our daily 10-minute morning walks to our Uni. Yet a particular situation occurred approx 2 weeks ago. He told me he was going down to Sunway Pyramid in KL on a Sunday to meet some friends. At 2am the night before, I asked him what his plan was for the following day. He didn’t answer me and I didn’t bother.

Ok fine, just another gathering with friends at a particular place. Sounds pretty normal to me. Another roomie of mine, Eddy, tagged along with him to meet his own batch of friends at the same rendezvous. And that Sunday passed like normal *snap* just like that. They came back late at night, nothing peculiar here. Now, it was MONDAY night when I was busy minding my studies on my bed, when suddenly out of the blue, KS asked me from his bed, “Hey, you got see my facebook pm kah?”. I replied, “No, wassup?” And he said, “Nevermindlah, I tell you next time.” That’s when I ‘persuaded’ him to tell. He said he put (I have succeeded, what I must do now, is study!)

So begins our pillowtalk…

Hay: huh? Succeed in what? Your homework?

KS: You know yesterday right, I go meet with friends.

Hay: Wait, your friends? 4 of them right? How many boys and girls?

KS: 2 boys 2 girls.

Hay: And you succeed in…?

*KS shrugs his eyebrows*

Hay: WOI WTF?!

KS: I made a confession.

Hay: WHAT? What happened man?!

KS: Actually right, yesterday I go to meet with my friends, I was already planning. Eddy knew already when we were taking the KTM so I asked him loh what gifts to buy for her. Eddy said flowers and chocolates loh.

Hay: OMG YOU GOT HIDDEN MOTIVE?! What did you do whole day there?

KS: At first I go buy those presents then we meet up then go for lunch loh. Eat at Vietnamese restaurant cuz my friend say eat there nice mah. So I also dunno what to eat loh that time cincai order, order till my food come out like sour sour de not nice wtf.

Hay: swt lol.

KS: But nvm, got ‘her’ there everything eat also nice.

Hay: SWT LOL. Then? Got talk to her kah? When did you confess?

KS: Got one time we were walking side by side, another friend walking in front mah, so I tell her loh. You know I gave her the flowers she paiseh paiseh don’t wanna take it! She said she don’t like fake flowers.

Hay: LOLLL. Her answer how? She accept kah?

KS: At first she don’t say anything. Paiseh bah. Then whole day she don’t really wanna talk to me. Just walk around till dinner time. After eat dinner then time to go back loh. My other 3 friends go back liaw that time. Then I wait with ‘her’ loh cuz she was waiting for her brother to fetch her and since she girl cannot leave her alone bah.

*I can’t help smiling*

Hay: WTFFFFF LOL. You hold hands?

KS: Yea, we hold hands liaw loh, then that time Eddy sms me liaw said wanna go back mah since it was 7pm. I asked him to gimme 2 more hours.

*Eddy told me at that time, he knew KS succeed liaw LOL. At around 9pm KS told Eddy to meet at a bookstore. Eddy was walking behind them and he saw them holding hands. Eddy was envious. KS even turned around to grin when he saw Eddy.*

Hay: Walao eh. Got GF liaw didn’t even tell me! You bast***!!

KS: I didn’t wanna tell you so fast bah.

Hay: And who was the one who said “What for need girlfriend? Going to France liaw bah no need lahh” wtf you!!

*I kicked him, stepped on him, dance on him some more*

But yea I can’t but feel really happy for him. Every night since that night, he has been smiling a lot more, especially when he’s on the phone -.-“ but it does annoy me when we’re playing Dota draft matches then SUDDENLY HIS GF CALLED so byebye KS y.y

Hay: You got see KS outside? He non-stop smiling on the phone!

I made sure news of his success spread like wildfire that Monday night and he was bombarded by other friends and roomies with questions HEHEHEH.

KS: Cuz of YOU I cannot sleep that night. I baru told you then so fast the news spread like what ah!

Hay: Good news must be shared asap man! :D

OW I’ve just had my maths test which tested ONLY on theories (prove that THIS is equal to THAT, no NUMBERS, JUST MAGIC PLEASE) yea that gave me hell. BUT Dom, Nelson and I went to the cinemas ystd and we had a dilemma choosing over “District 9” and “I love you Beth Cooper”. I voted for the latter starring Hayden Panettiere and it was NICE!!! I thought the dude was named Beth Cooper, honestly I did. I sincerely like it a lot because it’s funny, romantic, silly, funny, romantic and yea silly and it’s starring Hayden Panettiere! This movie encourages me to make moves with no regrets; at least that’s how I get the message. Do watch it with friends when you have the chance!

Ah yes, from me,

Bui knows better of course. Perhaps next post we do something about clothes and cosmetics)

Well to make things interesting, I promise to NOT talk about the game itself. As a matter of fact I'm gona post up in game pictures of us, posing. and posing. and posing again. By the way, as a "tribute" (wtf?!) to this blog we named our guild PotatoSLAM!

3) I was unlucky that my eyes blinked when I took the picture.
4) Please believe me.
5) Bui you better stop laughing.

Hiyakk! With Bel casting Lumos with his wand, we're ready to kick... someone's butt.

A close up view of this will show that Bel was experiencing serious constipation, with Hay warning you readers not to laugh at his brother and me/bui praying for his speedy recovery. (Tmd Bui this is a serious matter. take off your mask)

With Bui trying to breakdance and Hay trying to cast a...erm...(Dude wtf is that?! xD) ; me and Bel decided to be civilised =)

And last but not least...

How we wished the holidays were longer T.T (*trying to be emo*. Tmd bui once again, take off your mask la! Zzz spoiler)

Well as this very instant, Bui, Hay and Bel are on their flight back to the West. It was fun while it lasted, and now it's time to study yet again.

Till next time, take care!
Chris.

Onegai Laugh!

No, nothing to do with food here.
Been to the pc fair last friday held at KL Convention Center(KLCC).
Yea, hell the fair was HUGE. And yea alot of beautiful showgirls and more than ever pesky salespeeps.
Met Fook Sam and Kershia there. Fook Sam was already leaving when I was entering. I met Kershia just by stepping in the fair for a few minutes. Sounds like a pretty small world.
And after much consideration, I bought laptop skins :D

Feels a lil of vertigo huh? Cast the pic upside down(i had bad lighting). That's my laptop skin which my roomie Quan helped put up for me. He did a really satisfying job with the rounded edges. And the mouse just beside is Verbatim's RapierV1(orV2 forgot liaw -.-") with 3200 dpi and adjustable weights. It's a really bulky mouse but it's to my liking. I mean who cares bout how a mouse looks like. Just gotta prove its usefulness in gaming aye? >:D

This here is the one I bought for my friends which i equally like. had such a dilemma choosing..

Ow and here's my french Mecanique lecturer i took a picture with:
ici, il est Monsieur Fabien. His shirt really geng man xD he talks really fast in english and deafening in french. fortunately he still teaches in english for now. prob is he's usually late or postponing classes. and he's already postponed our mecha exams for over a month(and still ongoing) -.-" but he's a really really really nice guy :D

And err here's the twin towers of Petronas. Wonder how I took it slanting. My camera must had been faulty. Kinda like the Twin Leaning Towers of KL.

Sorry no focus on a particular topic here. Just being random haha. Just finished french exams and still moping over it :'( so my mind still isnt in the right state yet. arggh i must rush, got friends laughing here -.-"
Tchao guys!

Drama Trauma - Ow really?

2009-04-04T21:17:00.008+08:00

Back from the mid-sem break and what we got was misery business apart from running around helter-skelter. This was most probably due to uncompleted assignments which was meant to obviously be done during the break. What was more terrorizing was that they had to be handed in pretty soon. More suppressing news that opted us to be in panic mode or stress delight was the English drama which was to be hosted 4 days from the break. We haven't practised much... or kinda haven't even gone near serious.
Luckily, after being prompted to do so, I managed to get by the assignments thanks to the guys who already did them. But it wasn't as easy as copying blindly, I had to do some checking just in case there was a miscalculation. This meant I had to spend more time looking up info from books and notes. At least I left less guilty after doing those :P

As for the drama? We had 3 nights to practise.
-1st night was like professionals at it's 1st work. Time duration was 9pm-11.30pm. I wasn't there to view them due to heldback for a club's meeting. But I came in late and only managed to practise 1 round only t.t It was only a warm up!
-2nd night started later abit at 10pm-12am. This is most likely due to my unavailability in attending earlier time spans. As for the reason - my club wants me to take care of their booth in recruiting new members. When I got to the training grounds, we didn't perform very well the moment we started voicing. We were still holding on to our dear scripts and haven't even thought about positionings or emotions yet. Then after 3 rounds of practice, we were exhausted early due to the fact that the air-conditioner's external unit was turned off. The weird part was that that particular external unit wasn't releasing hot air but more like cool fanning.
That's when Yeo said,"Come let's go V5 eat, Erfi drive" We all agreed on that. When we got into the car, Yeo said "Woaho, Schumacher." I responded,"I thought Schumacher retired?" "No, he's here," and pointed to Erfi. That's when he hit reverse gear and spun around the curve. Going down the vertical was a slide as we were shoved to the side by centripetal forces. Fortunately, Bui was in the front seat and got to see every edge of the curves while screaming "WOOOI" every now and then throughout the drive. There are a number of curves in UTP. I was in the middle and got the view of a 3D simulation of a roller coaster, Yeo and Rafiq were at my sides to cushion my falls. So we made it 'safely' to V5 - Erfi tried to overtake a Kancil in a one-lane road but failed to do so. Still a close shave and made us shout "wtf Erfi! Chill man! We're there already!" So after getting cooled down with supper and mango juice, we were forced back to our village/dorm to the common room to give out a last round of practice for the night. Reluctant we may be but we still did it, even though we were distracted by Channel V at times. There was a part Yeo was suppose to say " This lamb chop is the bomb!" but instead he said "This TV is the bomb!" We were pretty much down for the count then.
-3rd night same time as 10pm but things started getting more desperate. We were more hyped in getting things done - props, makeup?, costume, slides, vocals and stuffs! This time we emphasized on character positioning, adding abit more sense into face and body expressions as well as throwing our voices since no mic was allowed. I found that part difficult as our English tutor who will be judging our perfomances was sitting a distant away from the stage. I was playing a ghoul-like-hunchedback-raspy-roughed voice character where I have to use my throat and my nose to speak. We practised a few serious rounds (still there was comedy which just couldn't be helped) and after that we hit the hay, knowing we need our rests.

Performance day - Our drama was held in the afternoon, a pretty warm one as the air-conditioning was in a terrible heated up condition. Yeo, Erfi, Jonathan were dressed decently like gentlemen. On the other hand, Bui and Hafiq had gone feminine. I had a pillow on my back and had to quiver from time to time.
Our storyline was altered from shortstory The Landlady by Roald Dahl and my what heck of a story that was. Yeo wrote the 1st 4 scenes, Bui wrote the last scene, I compiled and edited them, adding language correction, grammar and vocab as well as sarcasm to spice things up. Our English tutor seemed to like it - she wrote 'interesting script' when we got it checked.
The story pictures 2 young gentlemen who stayed in an inn, owned by an old lady with her helper, and got murdered. Their bodies were never found and so, 2 years later a couple passed by and the wife insisted that they should stay there for a night. But then the wife was murdered and hidden away by the old lady. The helper tried to warn the husband earlier but he was ignorant. The death of the helper and the wife made the husband realise he has to end this madness. So we added in some supernatural stuffs. The spirit of the wife came back to inform her husband to be careful of the old lady's trickeries. Then the 2 young gentlemen materialized to watch the scenes. I joined in soon only after the death of the the old lady being killed by the husband. But it didn't end there, I came only too late to warn the husband that the old lady was able to possess objects beside her upon her death. So poof, the husband became evil. 5 people perished, 1 turned away from good. Bad ending like all horror stories :/
Although we practised, things always don't come perfect easily. We had technical problems with the sound system and had a delay. We also started off smoothly until some points there were miscoordinations. Like when Bui should've gone to the kitchen to prepare food, he went to the lounge and waited there. Or when I should've been out there on the scene, I was beside the stage looking at the script seeing what comes next in the scene - ironic.
There was a time when Bui was suppose to appear after a change in scene. I narrated "After a while, the lady came back with her wallet" (It should've been 'came back with her specs' but Bui forgot to take them off earlier and he mentioned 'she' went to get 'her' wallet before the scene change - bummer, what does an old lady at an inn got to do with forgetting her wallet!) and we waited. Poor Jonathan was acting like an old man trying to lift a box off the ground for quite some time. Obviously Jonathan couldn't buy enough time of acting to tell the audience that we're experiencing a problem. About 1 minute later, Bui showed up and the show continued. What was his reason for the delay?
Boobs adjustment...
At some parts, we were too fast for line responses - didn't look natural but more to get it and done. And of course a part when Bui was on the brink of laughter from his habit since mimicking his voice to be a shrilled 'old'/young lady seems hardwork. That's when he was suppose to say his lines to Yeo, the husband. Desperation has enough courage for Yeo to point at Bui while repeating "No, No, NO" under his breath, smiling and nearly breaking down into laughter after being spread from Bui. I was at the side laughing away at these slip-ups. Nearing the end, there was suppose to be a short pause when Yeo's body was to be possessed by the lady as he falls down for a moment. We all as 4 ghosts gathered around, awaiting Yeo to get up and finish his last lines so that we can make the scene an end to it all. Awkwardly,we waited with no actions or emotions, as if there was a lag phase. We were all thinking like "Yeo, you better not be sleeping now!" Then he got up and said his lines then ran up the stairs, fell down with a "Aiyak" attached to it.
That ended our play in the hot environment as we removed all our costumes in sweat. Hafiq managed to make some good slides and movies for the credits and intros. Erfi did well on his sarcasm and gentleman part. Yeo did some good acting as a protagonist. Bui managed well on his part as an old lady being a half witch. I just couldn't help smiling even when I was being killed by the old lady in one scene. Sounds like a quote from Warcraft III DotA's Queen of Pain: Die smiling :D

Well that's that for this semester's English drama presentation, just hope we can fair well with grades. Got lots to talk about but time is a factor for everything.
PS: Congrats to Rol and his team on winning the 1st round in his DotA league.
Until then, au revoir everyone!

Yosha everyone!

Recently last Thursday my uni held a "French-speaking Day" or "Le Jour Francophonie", an open convention in our Perdana Hall for the public especially secondary schools to promote my uni's "professionalism" in the language.

And there were performances from our uni, but hell can hardly understand their french, it's like they're speaking italian instead. Only students from the France Collaboration Programme (the course im taking) sounded decent x)

Besides, there were exhibitions of other famous aftifacts or monuments of France like of course the Eiffel Tower(one made in plasticine,others out of metal frames and even one made from satay sticks!) I saw an article bout the Moulin Rouge and just realized that it's REALLY an infamous nightclub with its own legends of the nightlife and deaths.

Then I ran my eyes across self-made posters, teaching people of basic words in french and its scary verb conjugations. One particular huge card depicting a huge family tree with pictures of celebrities and famous people playing the roles of mother,father,brother,cousin etc in the family branches...
Then I saw this...^(note the circled picture with the quote "une petite amie"...and yes the SWT?!! I would write WTF!?? but I thought of the children that might come across this blog :))

I believe that is Michelle Dee up there. hahahaha you know, the president of Interact Club in CH Miri of 2007/08. Question is how the...ok how did she end up there XD
For all I know she's not studying in my uni thats for sure. Plus the photo of her is like that of magazine or newspaper quality. So I thought "Wow, hey that's my classmate! She's a celebrity now? o.O". My friend Koon Soon was gaping at her prettiness and I had to slap him out of it :)
And hehe "une petite amie" in french to english means "a girlfriend". "un petit amie" would be a boyfriend.

hahaha an awesome find! Michelle is even more popular now because Koon Soon keeps pestering me for her. hahahaha!

Ok another thing unrelated, yesterday we had our math lecture and a new lecturer, Mr.Khalid took over instead. He's not exactly new, we've known his since our first semester. But then he was too busy with our seniors that we had to swap lecturers. Now that our seniors are off to France, he's back for us.

Hell, he looks like a simple man seriously but what works in his mind is are gears turning at the speed of light. He's a friggin math genius.

We started the lecture about trigonometry(the horrible angles of triangular equations) And he needed not any documents or papers to aid him in his lecture. All he had were 2 whiteboard markers which he juggled occasionally. He wrote notes about simple cosine and sine angles, explaining their relationship etc.

The whiteboard was small and we scribbled as he wrote notes. But as we go on, it gets harder to comprehend. He would make up sudden unrelated equations and proved their equivalence. We were all stumped. And there he was happily writing to the bottom of the whiteboard
and then jumping to the top with an eraser and ERASED THE TOP HALF already without even bother asking us. We had to furiously and fastly scribble the notes as he was explaining happily his godlike theories. The more he explained, the more jolly he seemed as he got into the blithe of playing with numbers and angles and greek symbols.

We noted that we're actually doing our masters in maths now because we're having a Phd. holder/math genius/insane lecturer teaching us.

He kept asking "Ok?" after his philosophical explanations and we would(half of us at least) shake our heads, then he would gleefully reply "Ok" and jump to the whiteboard to write down more formulas. Then he applied the theories practically into questions which he wants us to solve in 30seconds then he said "So help me (solve this)" directing the order at us and I muttered "And God help us..."

I managed to keep up with his lecture apart from copying down all his notes successfully and constantly drawing the circles of radius 1 to prove their comparabilities. My roomie wanted to borrow the notes from me. I noted that he recopied EVERYTHING he had written and from my part of the notes.
Then I asked "Why rewrite everything?"
Nelson: cuz my handwriting ugly mar, just now so rush writing the notes.
Hayden: Dude, it's your own writing, there's no need to waste time since you're the only one best who knows how to read your own handwriting.
Nelson: Aiya it's like looking at girl ma, takkan you wanna see ugly girl right.
Hayden: YOU'RE COMPARING YOUR HANDWRITING TO LOOKING AT GIRLS? YOU GET HIGH BY LOOKING AT YOUR OWN HANDWRITING?!?!

hahahaha followed by bursts of laughter!

anyways hope that crap I delievered was amusing enough. Thanks for reading everyone!

First and foremost, I bid a very warm greeting and salutations to all potatoslammers and readers of this humble blog. It has been a very long time since I posted an article myself and apologies for such that this blog is like a dead blog. I do however come here whenever I have the chance. It’s really hard to get internet here. Although we do not crave for attention, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET US! >:D

Ahem - So the morning began with a friday 8am wakeup call from my handphone but I was already half awake half an hour earlier caused by the rays of sunshine that seep through my room curtains. The cold morning shower definitely did not help calm my nerves. Class started from 8.30am kicking off with French lessons and ending with Math lecture till 1pm. Friday’s the best because I have the least lessons on that day. Everyone here does. So I ate lunch, which consists of only 2 roti canai <- small appetite.

My Arabian lecturer came over and said, “So that’s enough for your lunch eh?” to which I could only reply bluntly “Yea!” and smiled. Gotta love them roti canais! Apparently the foreign lecturers believe that the hearts of Malaysians lie in the large amount of food they eat! :)

My jaw became sore after lunch. Damage dealt by the cold roti canai, an alternative way to chew gum thanks. Ok, 2pm maybe I could get some rest. Apart from being disturbed by incoming smses and chatter of roommates, my rest was........ was cut really short when one of my teammates named Muz called me 30mins later, saying “Masa dah sampai. Cepatlah! Saya di bawah.” So I got ready and called up my other teammates.

DOTA match:
Muz drove us to a nearby cybercafé at which we waited 15mins for the other team to arrive. I did not expect much of this besides losing. Muz was the captain. Don’t know why not me :/ and so we played 2 dota draft games against the other team who was from a renowned university. Lost both mainly due to the reason that one of our teammates left twice because the computers there were so rotten that they could crash ever so often for a price of 2.50/hr -.-"

A few other reasons we lost because proly there was a lack of cooperation among our team. pffft it was assembled for not more than a few days before and we barely practised with each other: 2 Malays and 3 Chinese. And proly because I did not give any commands to lead the team since I’m the one who usually call the shots....ok always..hey I thought the captain would do it but he did not.

We were all playing selfish! XD overall it was boring and poorly played. And what makes it more irritating is that after every game, Muz and the other team would step out and smoke a round of cigarettes while we “burn” our money. The other team wasn’t that good in skill to be frank, just that they had cooperation that makes them whole.

But I kept laughing at the mistakes we made and the unbelievable stunts we could pull off such like my noob teammates could do something amazingly pro so I knew those moments weren’t a waste! xD

With that done it was around 6pm already when I got back. The whole of Pre-france 7 students knew of our match and haha we lost! Like terribly to the students of GMI (some german mara institute). So I took my shower, dinner, and then played one round of dota with friends until midnight struck. That’s when it was time for FUTSAL!

*6hours ago*
Koon Soon: Hey Hayden wanna play futsal with us later?
Hayden: errr..
Koon Soon: Today bah we play against seniors.
Hayden: See first ba cuz I really suck at football.
Koon Soon: Nevermind la cuz now we not enough players, think only 8 people. Need 2 more. Hayden: Hmm, what time arh?
Koon Soon: 1am to 3am
Hayden: ONE AM TO THREE AM(WTF)WHY SO LATE??? Ok sure count me in.

FUTSAL match:
Muz drove us to a futsal court nearby our uni. So there were like 5 chinese and 10 malays from pre-france 7 to play against our seniors from pre-france 6 and 2 lecturers. When I got there, there were 4 courts but all fully occupied.

Futsal is like football played in a small court nearly the size of a basketball court. The style of rules they played here is that there is no outline, unless the ball is kicked towards outlines of goals. There’s no corner kicks and you can use walls to your advantage. And here it’s possible to score a goal from halfcourt range. A total of 10 persons would enter the court to chase a football. Even though the court is smaller, it’s a really fast-paced game.

Our game was pre-booked from 1am to 3am. I was the only one there who came in big, bulky basketball shoes so I knew I was never meant to be here. Apart from that it was like 6 months since I actually kicked a football. So the first match was our starting “nearly-best 5” of pre-france 7 against pre-france 6 seniors. The first to 2 goals wins the match and a swap of teams would occur. When the game started, I was by far really awed at how good their footwork and ball control was.

In comparison, I was definitely the n00b here. Both teams have really amazing players. For instance pre-france 6 seniors have a goalkeeper representing Malaysia. To par with that level, pre-france 7’s goalkeeper is state-level x) After a moment, pre-france 6 reigned victorious easily with 2-0. Then it was another pre-france 7 team to fight against them. However the pre-france 6 remained undefeated.

After that the time came for my “debut”. My team consists of 4 chinese and 1 malay. We were definitely the underdog team and were playing up against pre-france 6 team who had 2 lecturers at pro level. The first round I did extremely badly :( I only intended to play defence as I had really poor control of footwork and football dribbling. I made efforts to run here and there as if I’m trying to get open for the pass. My true intention was to remain invisible though so eventually I would hide behind an opponent to avoid the passes.

Yes, we lost as expected and I utterly embarrassed myself. And yes that’s why I chose basketball because I have greater control over my hands than my legs. The more I watch the other matches, the more I became amazed at how fast they can react with their footwork it’s like they’re dancing. However the winning streak of pre-france 6 was broken in the 3rd rematch and pre-france 7 showed their true potential. I have 2 malay friends who are shorter and smaller than me but you wouldn’t believe how fast and explosive they could play. One of them was a very good playmaker, dribbling the ball towards the goal and then passing it at the right moment so that his teammate could score the goal. They played the 1-2 strategy really well.
->Or proly just because I’m really n00b that I’m giving them too much praise -.-"

But hey if you’re a first timer and tried the sport yourself, you’d then realized how good those guys are and how much practice it would take to acquire those skills. The Malaysian-level goalkeeper showed his skills by blocking goals after goals consecutively with his agile reflexes. So the games were scheduled from 1-3am but we got so “suang” that they decided to extend it to another hour.

I played 4 times during the intervals, each time getting better and better tho I did some stupid things like dribbling the ball until the outline and kicking the ball at my seniors face (ouch!). I kept dashing for defence and managed to deflect a few balls as well as steal some. My friends note me for being speedy. YEAH babeh! >:D

Overall it was enjoyable but extremely tiring. I felt my legs giving in on me when I finished playing the 3rd round. Yea, my legs were about to disobey me. Bad bad hayden legs.
We had to keep running back and forth, as well as left and right a lot. My friends were all drenched in sweat. “wa dude we haven’t finished playing you go bath liaw arh?” when one of my friends looked like he literally came out a swimming pool. x)

We played till 4am and went back after a gg. However we felt hungry and decided to eat at a mamak stall. During then, we were deciding what to do next. We concluded that after eating, we can’t sleep immediately. Another reason to support is that after bathing we can’t sleep immediately either. So how do we pass the time?

DOTA!

Amazingly, we were still energetic with the adrenaline still burning from the futsal matches. We played one round of dota. When we finished it was already 7.30am in the morning. My other roommates (who didn’t go to the futsal match) were sleeping soundly. When I JUST entered bed to sleep, one of my roommates got up. So the hard part is... “good morning” or “good night”? haha.

He usually wakes up at this time just to study (omg even on weekends!). So I slept until saturday 1pm, only to be awakened by the disturbing sounds of rapid mouse-clicks -.-“ I didn’t have any photos to post mainly because I didn’t bother to bring my handphone around so, sorry to those guys who hate reading long posts! >:D

Thanks for reading everyone, have a bonne journée(nice day)!
Tchao!
un sentiment d'espoir pour vous, hach :)

Crazy week @@

2009-02-23T06:28:00.003+08:00

It has been a terrible week for me. It started with a small incident happened last Monday. In the afternoon, walking back to my room, I felt the spinning of my stomach. WELL, it looks normal, maybe I ate something dirty?..... And so I din really care bout it. During nite time, my stomach doesn't look tat ok. So took the chinese herb pills in small packet which i normally took it when i had stomachache last time. It looks like my stomach went better a bit, but later, my tummy can't tahan anymore, went to toilet and "PIIIII PIAKKKK~~~~~" Yea had a terrible time in toilet....... T.T

Oh yea!!! Finally finish the business in the toilet and i need to continue my tutorial until 1am and planned to wake up around 8am since my class started on 9. BUT THEN AGAIN, my stomach LOVES ME A LOT. Around 6.00am, i was FORCED to wake up and run to the toilet and again, business.

What a day.........

Told my senior bout it, and she found another senior to bring me to the clinic. Thanks wong ning for ur availability and thanks kuo chun for the transport :D After reaching the clinic, it looks like so quiet. :O anyways, the doctor asked bout what i haf eaten.

"Err, the pau from the mesra shop. The red bean one and the yam one."

"Ayam?"

".......... is Y.A.M. ..... YAM, not ayam."

"Oh... maybe the yam is not fresh and mungkin basi sudah, tapi mereka simpan balik dan panaskan lagi."

"oooooooo...."

And the doctor gave me diarrhoea pills and "wind" pills cz she said that my tummy got lotsa "angin". ZZZZZZZ...... then she reminded me nt to take daily products, and suggests that I take bread and biscuit. Around noon time, cz i forgot to take mc, so hafta go back AGAIN. ZZZ and i saw Bel's coursemate - Jason. He is sick as well. Same problem like mine. I wonder what we haf eaten =\

On wed, hafta attend a talk by the deputy ministry of higher education, a chinese dude that i haf forgotten his name......... anyways, after the talk, i had terrible headache, deep into my head. So, go back rest lor. Then Bel came back around 1pm, and changed his clothes, and sleep.

Wadafush? macam nt like him de .....

Anyways, i went to rest and woke up around 5pm, my head pain like safasdfsafs, but Bel is still in his bed. I went to toilet and ask 1 of our english tutorial classmates.

"Ah boon ah, go wake Bel up eh."

Then i went to toilet and came back and....

"He said he had fever"

.............

And so he started to sick on wed. I finish my medicine in the noon time, so nite time, i felt the spinning again, this time macam washing machine, damn pain. And the next day, i woke up super early, 5.30am, just for that AGAIN. ZZZZZZZZZZ

I called my senior- Chung Ginn to bring me to clinic OUTSIDE UTP. and SO LUCKY, the CLINICS in tronoh, near my uni, all close. MEMANG HENG. for 1 clinic, 11am edi still dun wanna open. for another one, it opens around 5.30pm till 9pm.

Mampuslah....

Then bought some biscuits and 100+ then went back to UTP to see the doctor there ..... AGAIN. Then i saw Jason coming. I was like .....

"Eh? still sick ? medicine finish liaw eh?"
"How you know?"
"I think we got the same medicine.... lol..... "

Then, Bel came as well.

"Errrr ... bad fever huh?"
"Yeap......"

And 3 of us waited for the doctor. After 1.5 hours, FINALLY MY TURN. When i went in, the doctor......

"Eh kenapa? Diarrhoea lagi?"
"Yea, still cant recover. after i finish the medicine, i start to diarrhoea again"
"You got any fever?"
"No leh......"
"Well i give u the diarrhoea pills again, and gastric medicine, if this sunday you still diarrhoea, monday you come and ambil darah, cz maybe it can be dengue fever."

Oh yea dengue fever, no fever pun zzzzz....... Anyways, friday, a day when i had a terrible headache. Cant even cough and sneeze. T.T Nite time, i went for church care group and Bel cant go, cz he is kinda sick. Ah well, after the care group, went to ipoh and stayed overnite at Bro Chee Lim's house. He is 1 of our church leader.

Saturday morning, woke up with gila headache. Took a panadol and tahan dulus. And 9.30am, went to new church location and helped to clean and paint. And yeah, finished 85% of it. On sunday, went to church and saw Bel looks ok already. Gud lor. But he still needs to finish the antibiotic.

......

Anyways now im recovered, still need to jaga bout what i gonna eat. And for u guys, dont simply eat things yo, maybe u will end up like what i had. :O

Dame, i haven read the lab manual. later got lab session ...... CIAOS!

Back there and guess what?

2009-01-31T13:45:00.005+08:00

Heck yea, we're back in uni ol' days. Woke up at 4 in the morning to catch a flight at 6.20am by MAS Airlines. We boarded the plane at 6 and calculated we'd be in KL by 8.30am. Unexpectedly, we never left ground until 2 hours later. So that just delayed the day's plans by 2hours- Hoorah, staying aboard a flightless plane for 2 hours, what a thrilling experience, it's too much excitement to take! :D
So anyway, the taxi man I called for booking earlier the day before, Mr.Law, told us his story when we entered his cab. He woke up at 4am and slowly drove his way from Ipoh to KL and reached at about 8am. So he thought "I'm here early so I guess I can rest abit" but lil' did he know that when he received my sms stating "Uncle, my flight has been delayed for about 2hours". That's when he groaned and grabbed a newspaper to spend some time over it until 10.30am. So the moral of the story - delays mess up big time the schedules of many peeps' lives doesn't it? HMM?
The journey back to UTP was a long 3hour and hot one (the cab is an antique Mercedes Benz so the air-conditioning was utterly poor t.t) Luckily, we stopped by a small restaurant to grab quick refreshments since lunchtime came over at 1 o'clock. It wasn't long until we reached UTP although Mr.Law used small kampung side roads instead of using main highways xD We got there at around 2pm or so, then we settled our hostel arrangements.
We were supposed to do some cleaning but it seemed most of the major parts were done before we arrived - the lights, fans, tables, corners. Even the old rotting beds were replaced with new plastic wrapped ones. Guess that saved us alot of fuss. They even fixed my locker's lock so now I can lock it with a padlock, the only prob is that I didn't have one - yet.

So we just did some minor polishing and wiping. While I was changing water for my pail, I came across a notice stating - Age-Zine -Cartoonists(with a picture of a poorly drawn dino) Reading the further details, I discovered that they it was an audition to find cartoonists for a magazine and it's going on that night at 8.30pm. After some thought, I thought I should give it a go!
I took a quick nap then before i took a bath and me dinner. Then after grabbing my weapons - stationery stuffs* - I headed out to the venue and sat there..sat...sat..
There weren't many chinese (in fact I think I was the only one xD) the tables and seats were limited so I was lucky I came early (I think). We were given time for warm-ups before the briefing but hey I don't need any. Waseh xD I din't bring any scraps of paper to practice on so I just scrolled through my K770i to delete old messages - loser.
So after 10 minutes or so, the host briefed us in Malay language. The theme is 'alam sekitar & usahawan' but then he explained that it doesn't really matter but more to open theme. He said that the piece can be part of a comic page or a poster cover for it. He also added that those who will be picked for the cartoonists will get to draw a 6 page comic and get it published in a Mag-I-Don't-Know.
Rules - 2 sheets of paper - 1 for sketch, 1 for the real deal. Time limit - 1hour with abit of extra time unknown. No references. No copying - as if..

So I chose 4 characters to star in the cover. They are more to explorer-warrior themes in the dress code. As for the background I chose a mythical woo ruins.. (not much to add) The characters include - 1 rich elf lady, 1 male swordsman, 1 tough guy, 1 asian girl explorer :D
I managed to rush through everything in about 1hr and 15mins time. Not to perfection though xD Saw some of the other's works when I submitted mine. Most I saw were chibis type of drawing. Some used markers, pens and even draw nice smooth round eyes. Clean! Some included bubble chats and bordering frames - I didn't t.t
And there you guys have it, abit of this! Ciaos and Happy New Year!
PS: Edited witf PS CS3 to make it lighter and clearer to see.

Back from CNY season

2009-01-30T22:19:00.004+08:00

well had a nice Chinese New Year '09 edition starting off wif visiting relatives then filled with loud colours combo-ish fireworks at Pol's house and lastly a nice dinner at Sean's newly renovated sassy house(where we had fun wif his nintendo WII) were some of the cherishable moments.

qian jun and jai zing picked a perfect time to crash at howard's house for a lion dance while we were all there. We also had a nice lunch at Jay's that's beautifully prepared by his family.

the days flew by so fast that i missed out visiting some friends' houses like Rol's who was way too busy wif lion dance patrols(he and qian jun have burned on a darker complexion now) and proly ida's,who spend most of the week elsewhere.

QD had a new hairdo which i just noticed when she came over to my house along wif ida,jozphine and the gang. I have various comments bout that. one being that..
she looks like adelene koh during the spm years. another is that it looks like a wig XD nevertheless it does make her look cute so heh trying to balance the bad and good critics here :D and ida proly got taller i quoted* but her driving definitely never did improve from what i saw :P

and now im back in the hostel, still feeling travelsickness after the very disturbing flight due to the bad weather and my taxi driver decided to pick a very heavily swirving route to my Uni.
i keep seeing "AWAS!" signs and "KAWASAN KEMALANGAN" very frequently posted up along the way. You can picture my taxi driver waving his body to the form of each turn...there were hundreds of turns...

hmm trying to keep track of classmates and schoolmates...met one of my primary school students(standard 6) at Jay's house who just had his upsr exams last year. I taught him BM for a month and he scored a B and C for BM-related subs. It was good no? I should be creditted for the B i guess :D

let's see I was in the same flight on the way back here wif JJ(jong). He's doing american degree programme aiming for actuarist at INTI, which is the same uni as LYS is doing. JJ's doing the same course as Jossie, whom i forgot where she's studying at but somewhere in KL definitely. She's aiming for mass communications.

Adam's in Seremban studying at a MARA uni. He's aiming for either New Zealand or Australia as an engineer. Though he did mention he prefer New Zealand as it being the oddity and less populated by asians on contraire to Aussie.

Adeline Ling, QD, and Boon Tung are in the same uni, JPA scholars in Shah Alam. I know QD's due to US of A and BT en route to India soon as a doctor.

Who else hmmmm, Bui, Bel, and Amy Ngu are in UTPetronas, Perak..stuck there for the next 4++years in their repective engineering courses. Bui's going for Chemical Eng, while Bel's doing Civil Eng.

Sean and Howard are in Brisbane. Sean's going forward wif Urban development and Town planning course if im not mistaken.

VK, Jay and Jozphine are Curtiners, however VK and Jay are bound for Aussie too soon enough this year for further engineering courses. Jozphine's doing accounting.

And errmm Yee Ping and Sheila are studying in UK, so as Victor Ng. Yee Ping's in Birmingham if not mistaken.

Edward's doing doctorism in good ol' mother Russia.

Karen...still remember her aye? she's in...somewhere in Canada..not in Toronto or Vancouver im sure and she's developed a really strong canadian accent XD

hmm Voon Hui's studying pre-u in Seremban as well in KTJ(kolej tunku jaafar?) She's going for Geophysist? under sponsorship from Petronas to USA soon.

Kershia, Maggie, Yee Ching, Agnes, Lung En & Jion are in Taylor's doing A'levels. Maggie's gonna be a future bloodsucking-lawyer under JPA sponsorship :P hahah jk
Pol's doing his A'Levels in Riam aming for actuary.

Chuo's doing piloting in Sabah, using mount kinabalu as an obstacle course...

then there's Jackie and Alvin Lau in Aussie too.

May's done wif SAM in Taylor's maybe.

Nyuk Ching and Ah Piu are doing matrics atm.

Now we have Rol, Quan Jun, Ida, Dell, Ignatius, Jai Zing doing STPM this year(FFH too who's in sibu doing F6) and they must be working their asses off this year for the hardest Pre-U test in M'sia!

As for me, doing French Engineering in uniKL under JPA...bound for France next year.

So i may be missing out a few peeps, but as you can see for yourself, we're all very much spread out aye? mwehehehe conquering the world lil' by lil' yo :D
p.s. happy chinese new year everyone!
avec amour, hach

Happy Chinese New Year

Anyways, all the best in ur STPM rol. Study harder yea. Remember, homework is more important than dota even tho u cant finish it. xD....

Last but not least, me(Bui). Strucked with boredom after finishing all the chores. Go into GG, all afk. Go there just listen to Pol's complain that he is going to give away his explosions to his dad's friend. After finishing CODE GEASS, yea it is really bored. Should haf listen to Bel tat i shudn't finish tat fast. Wanna game wif FFH, but his super duper kickass line will dc easily.

Anyways, 10 hours more to 1st day of CNY. Wish all of u a happy CNY and enjoy yea~

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! GONG XI FA CHAI!!!

Why is potatoSLAM running low on regular posts?

2009-01-14T17:03:00.003+08:00

A blog should not be as quiet as this, we'd all agree on that. So I thought it'll be just fitting to end this stalemate by posting the top 5 reasons why we don't post up as often as we should, respectively...

Bufospecies a.k.a BUI
1) Missing bear bear.
2) Thinking about bear bear.
3) Busy trying to sms bear bear, trying.
4) Dreaming about bear bear.
5) Busy dota-ing, and still missing bear bear.

hach a.k.a Hay
1) Thinking how to post up his first French blog post.
2) Busy watching Code Geass r2.
3) Feeling sick of the fact that he's the first one going back to campus.
4) Constant afternoon naps.
5) Busy dota-ing, screening Bel's laptop.

ioxygen a.k.a Bel
1) Thinking how to escape sharing room with BUI before going back to UTP.
2) Busy reading online manga.
3) Feeling happy of the fact that Hay's the first one going back to campus.
4) Constant afternoon naps, longer ones.
5) Busy dota-ing, screening Hay's desktop.

Rolando a.k.a Rol
1) Busy with Form 6 works.
2) Busy watching.....
3) Drinking beer, vodka, and many others.
4) Busy watching EPL and NBA.
5) Busy dota-ing, often before finishing homework.

Chris a.k.a me lor
1) Busy waiting for BUI's failure to chase after the big mammal.
2) Watching Man Utd's progress in EPL as they close in on Liverpool.
3) Feeling crapped out that degree sem is still 1 month away.
4) Busy dota-ing, and get bombarded by parents.
5) Still waiting for Reason (1).

Of course, the constant rain lately doesn't help much to better the situation either...

potatoSLAMming into 2009

2009-01-01T02:49:00.002+08:00

It seemed only like yesterday that Hay, Bel, Rol and I decided to share a blog. The month of June 2008, only 7 months ago, is now one of last year. What we did back then, to start potatoSLAM off, now served nothing but a distant memory...

Rolando says: pot o tama toto
Chris says: botakpotamato

Hach says: botaktomato

iOxygen says: ....
Hach says: botakpotato
iOxygen says: tomatosmash
Hach says: sounds malaysian
Hach says: not bad XD
Chris says: XD
iOxygen says: potatoslam
Chris says: POTATOSLAM LOL?XD
Rolando says: got such thing ka?
Hach says: XDL O L
Rolando says: POTATOSLAM
iOxygen says: xD

Soon after that, Bui decided to join us. We were threatened and harassed, so we had no choice but to let him in. Till today we have had our doubts over our decision, especially after he did this just now at our Garena clan chat...

AdamHan: who's banana?
AdamHan: :O
*blablablablablablabla* (apparently Bui ignored Adam, changed the topic, so he can avoid answering that)
AdamHan: you're not answering my question.
Bufospecies: ...
ChrisJvk: IT'S NEW YEAR BUI! TIME TO REVEAL YOUR...FEELINGS...
Bufospecies: OK LA! BANANA IS A GIRL I LIKE AND IM CHASING AFTER HER!
ChrisJvk: WO! YEAHHHH!!
clement1212: WOH!
Bufospecies: YES! I LOVE HER!
ChrisJvk: Okok chill...stop...
Bufospecies: I WAN BANANA!
Bufospecies: dota*
Bufospecies: ...
ChrisJvk: ...
clement1212: ...

P.S: BANANA is the girl which Bui is currently chasing after. Failure is inevitable, and using the word banana is only to give him face... prevent that very girl from seeing this when she visits our blog*

Ah well, the damage was done long time ago. Now that we 5 are in this blogging together, we'd do our very best to keep you readers entertained, mostly with Bui as the catalyst. We look forward now, to the year of 2009, and wish everyone a happy and prosperous year. SLAM!

With regards, PotatoSLAM :D

Luzhou Camp

2008-12-23T14:01:00.012+08:00

GREETINGS again~

Recently just went to a camp- LuZhou Camp. The camp starts at 18 Dec until 20 Dec. This time, im not the participant, but 1 of the committee member of the camp! :D at first, i tot im the only one going there, without friends. But hey, shun yii and chun sian and steve and some ex-ch seniors did join!

First day of the camp~

Reached Luzhou Centre around 7.30am. Then, i have to carry stuffs from the centre to downstairs. Breads, veges, eggs, foods, water..... all into transports, then here i go, to our destination of the camp- SOON HUP VILLA. As i reach earlier, so i went there earlier compare to others, which is around 9am.

Finally, reach soon hup villa. The driver, we called him Ah Bao, also a participant of the camp, drove a LONG, STEEP road, then we reach Villa 3. Stepping down the car, I can smell the hilux just like the burning rubber. Guess he uses his brake too much huh? His car cant b used at the moment.

After unloading everything, there is 1 of the committee, Ah Chiang, "Hey Yik Chieng. Come! Lets go to the hill there to set up the game. We need to tie the rope!" i was like ..... WTH? SOOOO TALL DA HILL!!! ....... Anyways, this is the view from the hill and another 1 is the knot with a clamp. Looks easy huh?

HOORAY! finish setting everything, and im so darn exhausted. .. And i was thinking, the game is during afternoon time, and I need to stay at so HIGH place. GG! gonna get burnt! Anyways, back to the activities. After lunch, they all get prepared. Then, they start their station games, with every station 25 mintues. Our station basically needs a lot of physical strength. Although there are ropes for them to climb, still some of them are like.. "AHHHHHH!!!! SO HARD!!!" "Y THE ROPE SO HOT? HOW TO USE IT?" 1 of them said, "im scared... of the grass, too sharp." ..........

But still, they climb up! And there goes some of the winners! :D

WHILE waiting for them to climb up, of cz, i went to take pictures around.:D

The Way to the Top of the Hill.............

The Way to somewhere else..........

This is the place where I get a shady place for rest! =D

While im at the hill, shun yii is just beside the hall. So, this is shun yii!

At night, same as last year's camp, they have a talk about family, and 2 of them are going to share about their family- Ah Chiang and Jong Sii Keng. Both of them talked about how their family treat them and how they treat their family. Their stories do touched me a lot, and makes me think of my mama. T.T

Second day of the camp~

In the morning, they have their talk and we go to set the game for afternoon one. Basically, this game is very very fun, but need to test your determination as well. In this game, the starting point is splitted into 3 ways, which brings to different route, and different route has different difficulties. But, the ending point is the same. And LUCKILY it rains, so ......... it makes the game more dangerous, but more fun as well. A lot of people fell down, slipped down. Some cried for help, some nearly BODY SLAM onto me when they slipped down. Some cried. There is one girl, taking 1 stick, swinging here and there. And she nearly hitted me with the SHARP, LONG stick. =.=

Anyway, thats all about the game. No pic sorry because it is raining, and my hands are full with mud. At night, we have a talk about career. After the talk, they are separated based on their interest, eg. STPM, foundation, A-level, pilot, quantity survey, business, engineering. After the talk, all of us get crazy. All of us play a lot of IQ questions, and that brings lots of joy to the hall. While having fun, i looked at my leg..... Ouch! It is the scar i have it in the afternoon.

Third day of the camp~

This is the last day of the camp, and all of us prepare tissues for them as we know they are going to cry. And yea, they cried. But, im glad that they did learn something from the camp. Around noon time, we depart back to Luzhou Centre. While we wait at the cafe, i found this dog very cute, so adorable!!!!

1.00pm reached Luzhou centre. And i get sick after that. T.T

Thats all for now! And now, we (me, vk, bel, hay, fui + some other peeps) are going to movie. Ima going to prepare and makans! CIAOS!

12/12 Western Styleee

2008-12-12T22:58:00.008+08:00

My brother Fui's bday today, and I have the luxury of being the ONLY potatoSLAMmer to celebrate WITH him =X. He had doubts on where to celebrate his bday, and he eventually chose Best Western. It has been a long while since we last stepped into that restaurant, so it was a reasonable choice afterall.

We booked a table for 5 at the non-smoking area. Coincidentally we were given the very same table we had for our last visit. The restaurant was cozy, and when we went in the waiter and waitresses were like...kept looking at us. Me, Fui and my sis all wore caps. So when we went in it was like...one gang like that xD. Soon the waiter gave us the menu, and Fui's eyes glowed like a marine on a mission @@.....

Fui with his...big Lamb Shank thingy...

Me with my...small Australian Lamb Chop...
The difference between our food was so the very big @@

Of course, what's a bday celebration without any cakes? Especially with our mum around...she's a big fan of nice cakes. Fui was kinda full so mum made the ordering decisions. Tiramisu cake, brownie with ice cream and cheese cake.

Jong bros, with the cakes :D

12/12 Bday Boy

Well that's that for this time. I'm finishing this post exactly at 12 am, the end of Fui's bday :D. Anyway we wish him the best and thanks for being potatoslam's most loyal supporter =D.

Surprise !!!?

2008-12-12T00:01:00.001+08:00

well since it's clement's birthday a.k.a fui/vk's bro today and that he has been a loyal supporter of potatoslam, the least we can do here is to wish him a big happy birthday aye? :D

HAPPY B'DAY FUI!!!

From the potatoslam board including Vk, even tho he doesnt show it :P

Zombiefest

2008-12-11T18:02:00.004+08:00

recently we've just got these games called Left4Dead and Call of Duty World At War. and mannnn aside from just dota-ing which is getting rather boring sometimes, we've indulged ourselves in a gruesome slugfest of zombie slaying on GG.
after jion's celebration arrival, rol del and perng stayed over at our house for a LAN party until 3 am in the morning, killing off the fast and furious infected zombies in Left4Dead.
Then there was an arrangement to have Bui and Vk over at my house today for another LAN party. and it started at 9 am dameee man you can see me and bel looking like zombies too! but it was really fun we played on COD5(call of duty waw for short) just the four of us surviving through levels of trigger-happy mayhem battling against nazi zombies.
the first few rounds were calm and soothing, much like a lullaby. but as the levels go on, you can hear bel giving a random warcry, Bui croaking shriekingly, and Vk screaming for mercy as wave after wave of diehard nazi zombies encircled our camping spots. we managed to fend them off by covering each others backs and spraying bullets in a 360°range until level 22. bel screwed up our defensive positions and all hell broke loose after that as if hell hasntt broken loose enough in there xD
woah played until 5pm man. really gila syiok xD
we really enjoyed ourselves, even Vk has no more worries after realizing his foundation results which just got out today. he passed all subs with flying colours with banyak distinctions. woho before that he was emoO-ing the whole time with mood swings like a flame dancing in a whirlwind! Congrats Vk! now we really need to plan our bball outings...need physical activity dammit XD

3 Homecomings Back to Back ++

2008-12-11T17:18:00.008+08:00

Well I was the first to arrive back in Miri among most others. Even after waiting 7 hours at the airport(shared taxi fare with friends so thats why -.-" and including the 1hr flight delay zzz) the resulting end in having my beloved parents warmly receive me and the comfort of my home once again was worth it.

That's when the scheme to capture bel the next day started. My planned set of wheels was supposingly rol's unbelievably tough and durable proton saga that has seen many on-the-edge and close-shave situations(sit in rol's car and you'll see how "safe" you can be). Vk, Bui, Del, Perng, Pol, Fh, Jay, Jack, Joshua followed as well. But we were late to arrive at the airport xD because we stopped by Pol's house for some mahjong and game pirating -.-"

Upon seeing bel, nobody could ever guess that we were ever identical twins. Appearance had changed from hair, clothe style, and apparently height :P one head full of hair, the other totally lacking it; one dressed in slacks, the other in jeans; and one being taller than the other xD so yea, brought bel go makan kolo mee. Thats the first thing i did when i came back too xD after being in the west m'sia, the first thing you will wanna eat when you come back to s'wak is gan mien!

And yesterday jion had just arrived back in miri. Earlier we planned to kidnap him, but hell...who would dare to confront jion's father just for the sake of saving jion!? :x i heard that may was coming back on the same day. jion was on the same flight with IGNati and lilian.
so eventually jay desperately organized an outing with us which included the usual suspects with sean, phui, clement too tagging along except bui and vk cudnt make it because they were occupied. and hehe eventually we all went to yong seng's to eat kolo mee xD nostalgic sia
tho there was alot of confusion going on when the bill came and we paid, with some "extra" money left over:P

Speaking of which, sean is back too! im not sure if he ate kolo mee too when he first came back. tho we all went to watch a movie in parkson after bel came back. so i think that makes 4 homecomings here. that movie suxxxxx tho -Quarantine-
it doesnt contain a happy ending. and its really thrilling, alongside with shocking factors. but i think its definitely not worth the money to watch something captured with a camcorder concept much like "Cloverfield" :(

Now that we're all back, it definitely feels like we're still back in f5 or the holiday period whereby spm is over xD im sure you've noticed but will we ever grow up?! mwehehehe c'est trèssss sympaaaa! à bientôt!

Back Here Now...

2008-12-02T22:47:00.002+08:00

Yea sure, halfway through this 2nd part of the year, Hay did come back for a week, so did Bel, but tonight with Bui and Bel coming back from UTP, it seemed like ages ago that all PotatoSLAMmers were in Miri...looks like Garena's gona hot up once again.

Chris: Welcome back guys!!!
Rol: Woot yo guys!!!
Hay: We're back!!! (in French)
Bel: Wiki backie!!!
Bui: ...

Nothing much to post up this time, so just welcome back guys. Now let the DotA, NoTD or whatever...begin...

Back from Camp but now comes another.....

2008-11-15T18:00:00.003+08:00

holy moly, after a very tiring 5 day camp, i came back to my house only to be informed that 3 days later i need to go to school for lion dance camp(ZING AHHH!!!). First of all, i was thinking, i never played it before, so why i need to go. Then on the day i went back to school, he told me i'm a AJK!! AHHH I NEED TO TEACH SEI KIAS HOW TO PLAY!!! THIS IS SO WRONG!! bah anyways heres some funny moments at the camp.

Day One

Register, then dont know what, well, me and qian jun bought some cowboy hats and we sit at the back acting cool, but too bad girls that gone buy just see us and laugh. Madek. We then go to our so called "room". Holy carp, we using block B de classrooms man. BUT WE IMPROVISE, WITH OUR STUPID KNOWLEDGE IN MAKING THINGS GO EASY WE THINK A WAY TO SLEEP THERE!! and POOF!! we came up with the idea of taking a bed, from where? it was the high jump mattress. At first we were happy that there is a mattress there, but the hardness of bring that big thing up 3 storeys can be another thing. in the end we got it up and YEAH it felt damn good. At night, funny thing is, NOT ENOUGH FOOD!! AHHHHHH so we were like so dead hungry BUT luckily, KH room was open and i made a deal with teacher. I took care of the area while she is gone and we get to use the stuffs in there. Qian Jun and Tze Perng fried mee for we all, hell no im not commenting on the taste, lets just say its errmmmmmmmmmm moving on

Day TWO
i realize i same group with Carolyn's sister, Josephine. then i also realize, my group got like somewhat 7 members only???? whereas got group with 10++ members. i asked around and realise, most of my members are committee. So we need to think up of a slogan and my team name was Diablo. what a name...... but i was looking at other groups got names such as BUllets, Ember, Marshmallow, Junkie and many more LAH. the head of the camp says that our name is actually dogs name, the i look back at my group name, Diablo, wow cool owner i guess. Well the hard part is actually coming up the slogan, after squueeeeeeeezzzzzzzzinnngggg the brains, we finally got it. it is:
"Together with fear we like to drink beer"

i have no idea what it means. beer is my part. then on this very day day TWO, we have to go for a uber treasure hunt. my group combine with Perng, and omigosh man crazy running, from ch to sun city then to jamilah finding bananas then to bumiko running up and down stairs then to tanjung doing some sort of obstacles challenge then to school bus stop eat garlic with coffee and kicap and back to CHUNG HUA, eating some kuih cover with red hot spices and dipping hands into ice boxes and finding fake snakes, heck it was a tiring day. then i got the topic for my cultural show, robo dance, walao, cultural ah.

Day THREE
we woke up, we bath at asrama there senyap senyap, we eat eggs and hotdogs, i eat maggie again, then the big bang happend, my leg muscles hardened. Bak Hock ( i always called him Bak Co(c)K) says that i cannot climb canada hill edi, so they put me at station. well we sit a bus going to the top and WOW, the school even asked for those forest rangers to guide them. well line up this and that and heres the stupid part, i need to go to checkpoint 3. Going there was okay, BUT STAYING THERE WAS HECK MAN. its like NO WIND, so WARM, many 100+ beside but u CANNOT DRINK, and just sit there warm like what for so long........ then when i saw the first sight of human existence in that area, i say, welcome to the light!!, was funny tho, i was holding a 100+ at my left hand and pulling others up with my right they say wheres their share, i pointed up the cliff summore.(i was somethat deep in that time since got nothing to do) and they were like WAH STILL SO FAR. wow man after that day we were tired like ever man, so busted out and wasted.

Day FOUR
STEADY AHHH WE NEED TO WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORM DURING CAMP AND GOT MORNING ASSEMBLY AT HALL AND NEED TO BRING CLASS AGAIN!! it was so weird man xD looking at this, school during camp. lucky thing is it was from 8 to 10 i think, just giving off those top 5 people, madek, i got 6th. then we prepare and THEN WE NEED TO HEAD TO THE BEACH, at 12 at the noon xD kick ahhh. well when we reach there, we dug a hole, codename APA. well APA is organized because theres a dude called Paul who during hiking kept saying ALMOST THERE ALMOST THERE IN CHINESE like somewhat 18 times to his members xD, so Perng formed a group, Anti P Association. we were working like mad man, digging the hole till half the body already. then we need to go play some games, so operation abandon a sec. our game was making a fire at the WINDY BEACH and find something to make a flag pole. well my group took quite some time and well the cool thing is, we took a LOG and just cover the head to be our flag pole, CHUUUUUUU ah every1 say. After that it was the craziest day ever, a super duper station game. Game 1 that we played, take of shirt and wet it and fill the bottle with holes that ur member going to close so the ping pong ball can float out. Running back and fourth like an idiot kena burn like what and our ping pong never toppled over xD. okay that was it GAME TWO!, building sand castles, well it was easier but hey..... no sand around the area. We need to dug it up and then build it as TALL as possible, my group 5 peeps only or 6 that time, walao man xD. then Game 3 catch crab, caught abt 30++ small ones nyea.......... then game 4, running over plates and get burried half ur body under sand, even made a fake thing, kinda funny. then game 5 Rolling over with your friend and a water bottle for like 10m and then fill the bucket. i think this game i tertendang maggie bro and his friend who always complain his life is very pathetic. Clement i think his name, not fui ah. then game 6 katak katak lompat, dont need to explain. Well after that we had a nice dip into the beach and we had to shower. well since we were at explanade, perng and jun followed me back HOME and had a good shower and some MIlo and MILK!.then we went back and have a barbeque there. heres the stupid part. i asked Mr Yong, teacher can eat de ma? he say he not sure ok experiment, i fork 1 out and try, OMG COLD CHIN, then put it on my plate then like 10 mins later i fork out another 1 and give qian jun, COLD CHIN stil and put it at his plate, then like 30 mins later i FORK OUT AGAIN and give Alvin and he say okay.... and we eat STILL COLD WTDoG. well then we ate secara penuh and went back. well that night actually they want to prank people, saying that 12am go sleep and 12.30am wake them up for cultural show and the teacher APPROVES IT! BUT SO FUNNY, the teacher told them to wake him up for he is the judge, then when the time come, he even told them not to aeroplane him, he still asleep, after many tries to wake him up, he dint woke up, what a teacher, he rocket the game masters ah!

Day Five
woke up, sunburn at my back, tired like heck and need to go for a speech. then we need to gatther at conference room and hear a speech. then at the afternoon CULTURAL SHOW!, wiu many group went up, many performances, Perng group kick oh!! IMPROMPTU GO UP STAGE AH! well i manage to get my group together and made a decent robo dance, kinda cool but well that was about it, then we go to a open session where everyone talk about everything there is, well DELLON he took the mike at one time and HES THE ONLY PERSON THAT SAYS THIS:

"Hello MY NAME IS DELLON" etc etc etc
then his speech was kinda blur but the message is sent at some way.
Well i got a chance to, i talk about crap of my experiences and teamwork qualities, during talking i was like stage fright, forgot what to say and so during my speech got like:
"ermmmmm........ shit ........ fark...... shit.... sorry, shit crap etc etc'

PAISEH LIKE WHAT AHHH XD and well after that i went to petes had a decent dinna with my friends and went back home for a uber nice sleep.
Hell it was a camp to remember, all the cool things that happend .

Joi stuffs that we DID.
- pranking people, first we took the fake snake whose head has been severed, and place it in the coin compartment when u know u call and coin drop down that part, in the public phone. we sit nearby, waiting for victims to come. first FIVE people called and no change, madek that phone rosak ha? then after a while VICTIM ONE came. she called got lose change placed her hand in and PULLED IT OUT LOOKING AROUND SAYING IN CHINESE WHATS INSIDE. then VICTIM TWO come as victim one called her, she says what and put her hand in and responded in the most hilarious manner for us to see, then she see again, she says "I thought is Kueh Tiaw" WTF MAN XD. then VICTIM THREE made the call, SO LONG AH SHE TALK then AT THE END WE THOUGHT WE FAILED, SHE PLACED HER FINGER IN FOR SOME REASON!!! and WOOOOOOOTT UBER RESPONSE!!, he body twitchs back and was like WOAH what was that!!!, we laugh like madmen xD

19 And Movin'!@@

2008-11-10T04:01:00.008+08:00

The Saturday morning 11.40am's heat was a lukewarm sensation. But I was really woken up by the soft knocks on the door(I'm sound sensitive as usual, is it a curse or a gift @@) so I opened it and there was Jason. Want to go Tronoh eat? We ride there :D After a bit of discussion, heck yea there was no need for discussion - I was hungry for some Chinese food! So a 15mins drive with a pitstop by the petrol station to fill up some gas (We had some unusual difficulties over there but not of much importance at the moment x:) then we reached Tronoh safely - with helmets on!
After a great taste of PORK YeA, Jason take-away some food for 6 fellas back in the hostel. Then we head back to our Uni, in the midst of downpour. We even got side-splashed by a passing highway truck(Madek xD) but we still made it back safely - with helmets on!

In the afternoon, I had to attend a co-curriculum course on first-aid mechanics - CPR! After 3 hours @@ I head back and wasted time till...CRAP I got Moral Reflection Meeting at 9pm when it is 8.30pm now! I quickly opened a pack of Mee Maggi and drank Milo and went to bath, changed and paced to the IRC. Luckily I made it only 30mins late x: So we did some work until 11.40pm then the IRC closed, we were dismissed. I went to the Undercoft below the IRC's Chancellor Complex to online there, meeting up with Bui. When the clock strikes 12am, I received SMS from Hay: Hey bub happy b'day! Still up? You got internet access there? Y.y; and from Kershia: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You are now officially legal to have access to lots of stuff!! LOLZ :) Have a great day ahead :)

Legal access huh? I have reached 19 eh xD. Bui whispered Happy Birthday, Bel close to me (I wouldn't say it was too close x:) Yea thank the potatoSLAM team for remembering as well. VK greeted with manner. Rol as cheerful as ever. Fui/Menty a special guest was funny in a way huh? xD

So we played DotA to let off some time. Yeas it was going off good even though the line was a lil laggy when suddenly...

The upper ground floors trembled and the rumbling of stampedes could be heard. I thought it was a midnight Jogathon. But it didn't just pass by. In fact, I saw a WHOLE GANG OF BOYS jumping-running-stomping loudly down the stairs screaming "BELDEN! BELDENNN!" Then they sprinted up to my spot, shut my lappy(dced me from game xD..) and I had to shake hands with them as they greeted me – all 40 plus of them.
And then one of them gave the hand signal 1,2,3 HAPPY~ BIRTHDAY TO YOU~ - goes the song xD What I felt at that moment was ~shock~@@ and touched. I said out loud Ok, ok guys thanks. Thanks for comin to my birthday ‘party’ xD(Laughter!) Then one of them grabbed my LED lighted mouse and said Make a wish then blow it. I blew then…The lights of the mouse(candle) went off. He pulled the plug LOL(Claps!)

Then I had to hug 2 cake-bathed dudes(1 big, 1 small) for the sake of the celebration. Then one asked So what do you think about us? Did you think we forgotten your birthday? I replied Well at first I thought you guys had forgotten. But then when I saw you guys coming down there, I knew you guys had remembered. Then they all clapped and cheered.
Then came the reply You know actually at first we forgotten. Only today just now we remembered and came here. – LOL!
Then after bidding farewell and thanks, they ran to another birthday site roaring on, (there were actually 6 peeps celebrating their b’days that night at different venues @@) to cheer for the others. Kewl job for the Midnight-Running-B’day-Cheering-Team xD

In the morning I was awaken by my parents wishing me a Happy B’day (same like Hay:D) but good thing was that it was time to go to church xD I only had 4 hours of sleep as I stayed up till 4am and woke at 8am. Had some Dim Sum on the way - Nice, delicious, expensive Dim Sum in which Bui paid for. Thanks bub xD Then at church we celebrated a bit for the monthly babies whom included 2 other November girls. We also celebrated for those newly converts so 5 in total LOL

We went shopping after (haven’t done that in awhile) and bought some snacks in preparation for the study week and a new bag(my old bag tore in several ways liaw y.y). Ida, Dellon, Zing and the others who are 'stuck' in this year's prefect camp even called.
Unknown Guy:Hello?
Me:Hellow?
Unknown Guy:You know who is this?
Me:Errr.
Unknown Guy:Errr.
Me:Errr.
Unknown Guy:Err? ( You playing along is it don't wanna give me hint xD)
At first I was fumbled at who's voice was that. Then soon a familiar girl's voice appeared.
Unknown Girl:Do you still know who is this?
I thought for a moment
Me:Yea, Ida right? (very obvious)
Ida:How you know?
Me:Cause your accent is always the criticizing type LOL and who's the other one?
Ida:Dellon
Dellon: Hi Bel
Me:(Paiseh xD)

Tiring day, as soon as I got home I hit the bed. Upon awakening, Bui had remembered to give me a present shared by my church friends bro Hun Pin, sis Jenny and him. It was a kewl cute book with handy Bible verses. Now I don’t have to search so frequently on the important verses with much burden xD thanks!

Well those are some of the highlights of my 19^th birthday cele-run. I type this post out at 4am just to make in time to cut late posting xD Thanks everyone for helping me celebrate me b'day :D

19th Moi finale!

2008-11-09T22:42:00.006+08:00

My mom woke me up when I was enjoying my well-deserved sleep on a sunday morning just to give me her wishes -.-"
And Ida, Qian Jun and Daniel (am i right?!) called me at the same time around noon. They were depicting that they smuggled a handphone into prefect camp just to wish me -.-" at least daniel and qian jun were giving me all the best of wishes unlike IDA (Internal Destruction Association) who was giving me a LECTURE. hahaha no offense Ida, those were nice things done :D

Apparently for dinner I had 2 packets of maggi (cuz i was too lazy to go to the cafeteria -.-" )
sad right :(((
and i was enjoying it while reading an article about The Louvre on my lappy in my "corner of santuary"...

WHEN SUDDENLY (here i go again.)
THE LIGHTS WENT OFF
and the first thing that came to my mind was "WHO'S THE F***ER PLAYING WITH THE LIGHTS?!"
then i heard chanting. i turned around, and saw a ball of fire.
My roomies: Nelson, Eddy, Dominic, Quan were all in the dark, singing a birthday song, and there was Teo holding a large lighted birthday cake in front of me...

(*i'll post some pics some other day!
I stood up and the first words that come out of my mouth was "WHAT THE HELL?!"
dont get me wrong. I was totally stunned by excitement, happiness and storm bolts altogether :D really speechless at that moment. just full of smiles!

It was an awesome moment as i blew the candles and cut the cakes for all my roomies. Wei Quan was kind enough to buy me that cake in which he was gone for the whole weekend. And its hazelnut delicious and yummy! Thanks alot Quan!

It's weird tho, i din notice him smuggle any cake into our room when he got back. Actually i was asleep when he came back today in the evening. When i woke up he offfered me a BOX THAT LOOK LIKE IT HAS CAKE INSIDE. but its just fried cha siew pau inside -.-" swt who would've thought he really bought a cake for my birthday :D those conspirating bastards!
Thanks alot guys! Really awesome roomies you guys are :D

9th of Nov for the 19th

2008-11-09T10:00:00.002+08:00

Nothing much to do lately, so I thought I'd just post up. Well today is the 9th of November, which is my fellow potatoSLAMmers' birthday - Hay and Bel. For our readers, here are some cool facts that you ought to know about these two...

The 5 + 1 Kinda Cool Facts about Twins

-Bel is the older of the two but for some reason we address them either by the call of "Twins" or "Hay and Bel". Why not "Bel and Hay"? Beats me as well.
-Coincidentally enough, they are both Chins. (How kewl is that??)
-Always call each other noob/nub. (Dota too much)
-The slowest eaters living on earth. (Unless going out with us to eat, it's 1 hour per meal, minimum)
-They're both guys and thankfully not gays.
-First time in 19 years they are separated for their birthday, and by looking at the chatterbox Bel seems to be happy about that...now that's what I call family love.

Birthday wishes to the both of you,
Me: Happy Birthday! :D... :D... :D...
Rol: Happy Birthday! In prefect camp now...so SHADDAP!
Kershia: Happy Birthday!!... :)
Menty: Happy Birthday! Back to anime, bye.
Bui: ...

Anyway, final exams are just around the corner. So this oughta be my last post for now. All the best to everyone!! With the exception of Rol and Fui =.=
Happy 19th Birthday Twins!
See you all after the finals!
