Buffet Lunch at The Living Room, Westin

Dimsum

Pasta in carbonara sauce, tomato is available as well. The carbonara sauce is very nice.

Some dimsum and some fried food

Lok-lok? Yong tau foo is available as well...

Chicken soup

Mushroom soup I think... Doesn't suit me

Indian and chinese food plus some rojak

Ice Cream! But not Haagen- Dazs or Baskin Robbins.

Hmm.. Aren't sure what is the cooking style. A little like teppanyaki.

Waffle

Breadstick, papaya, honeydew and marshmallows...

Cappuccino

The Living Room

There are many choices of food in this buffet. The food shown above are roughly 65% of all food served. Due to the size of my stomach, thats the limit of food I manage to put into my stomach. The environment is quite peaceful and quiet.

Marks given: 8/10

Ampang Look out Point

Sorry for the late post. Went to Ampang Look Out Point on 9/10 to celebrate YeeHao, WenJing and ChengHong's birthdays. 3 birthdays, celebrate in one go XD. Had dinner in Gasoline.

KarHoe's car while we gathered at the Shell petrol kiosk near Ampang. It seemed like the order of the " car following arrangement" is messed up. Time to rearrange which car following which car...

The view of KL... City of light?

Our tables.. Many tables and chairs to accommodate many people

Tsk, additional RM2 without ice...

Group Photo!!

Ordered mushroom chicken chop. Something like that. It tasted just acceptable. However, there is a breach in health and safety regulations? I saw a chef preparing the salad, taking the vege, without gloves on, just bare hands?

~Sorry for the super-lateness~

Karaoke @ Superstar

Went for karaoke @ Superstar Karaoke,located in Wangsa Walk Mall. They are using TOUCH SCREEN!!! Just touch here and there and choose your songs. Playlist up to 5 pages, each with 10 songs, so 50 songs in total. You can search by "writing" out the song title under "search". They provide you a remote control as well. However, the annoying thing about this touchscreen is that, when you stop the song, you have to go to the screen to confirm it.

Outside food and drinks are allowed in the premise. Unlike RedBox, which you are required to buy the food and drinks from them.

The people there are quite nice. The room given is very small and very near to the screen. After awhile, we complain and they gave us another room. Although both are considered as small rooms, but the 2nd room is much comfortable to the eyes.

I have no idea whether the songs are as many as RedBox and Neway, but those from very famous artistes are available.

There are packages provided as well. The package I went for is for a small room one, with 2.5 hours of singing time, no food and drinks provided. Price of it.. RM60. For big room, they go on per hour basis I think, RM38/hour. I don't know how many people can it fit though.

Pulau Sibu trip

On 29/8/09, after my class ended at 12.30pm, my family and I traveled to Johor Bahru. This is the third time I have been to Johor Bahru. We stayed one night at Crystal Crown Hotel. The next day, we left around 9am to the jetty.

Johor Bahru streets

Pokok pinang

We reached the jetty around 11am, where we met up with my father's friend and his family. The ferry left 15minutes later. Everything was peaceful. Suddenly, the captain slowed down the ferry. Its like emergency brake. There was a log floating and the ferry hit it. Luckily, the ferry was slowed down. Otherwise, the propeller maybe damaged.

Boarding pass!!!

The ferry trip took 30minutes. The island only contains a resort only. There are many activities that will be provided, jungle trekking, archery, flying fox, canoe-ing, banana boat and so on. Of course, some of them are not free of charge. There are some animals as well, mainly deers.

Deers and peacock

Peacocks on the road signs

Snails

There is one nice thing about the cafeteria. The food kept coming out when those served are finished. Ok, it was a buffet. But then, even though its after lunch time and around 3pm, fruits are still being prepared. Fruits are always empty. Many people will wait for it and take a lot. It seems Malaysians like fruits a lot too :D

The next day(31/8/09), went to jungle trekking. This is open for all. There were a group of adults who thought that with kids and some elderly people joining, they will be slowed down. They left first. The guide has to call backup because the other guide has to follow them. Geram. Discrimination!!!
We came to a beach when the jungle trekking almost comes to the end. The beach is very nice. By that time, rain clouds are rolling in already and the wind is quite strong. It started to drizzle. The flying fox had to be cancelled as a safety precaution. Awwww...

Bullseye

Beach volleyball, which became beach soccer soon

On the last day, we passed by my hometown on the way home. We stopped at my aunt's house. Had a cup of coffee at a coffee shop nearby. I was told that some foreigner shrieked when she saw the state of the toilet... LoL.. kampung ma..

Birthday?

My friends celebrated my birthday 5 days earlier, during the WMS school concert, which is 17th July 2009. I reached my WMS( the meeting point) and found out that I was the first!!

Anyway, we went to dinner at LAO Hiong. My friends surprised me with a cake and some of the lights are switched off when they took the cake out. It is a joint celebration with my 2 other friends, Chun Shiun(who wasn't there unfortunately) and Sze Jian.The cake is a pandan cake with cream XD Wee Lik was scrapping the cream off before eating the cake.Anyway, the nickname I received is "Venusaur". LoL.

We finished everything around 8.30pm and we went back to WMS. It is the "half time" of the concert. So, we managed to watch the second half. The concert is titled "Puteri Gunung Ledang". At first I thought, Why? Everything will be in Bahasa Malaysia.. It turned out wrong. It is a mixture of Bahasa Malaysia and English with English for most of it. The Sultan acting is good. Overall, its acceptable. It would have scored higher if the PA system was working well.

We went home around 10.30pm.. Thanks guys and sorry for the late post..

22/7/2009
I am 19th... One year older again.. Received a huge lollipop from Lavinia as a present!! The lolli is just like the one in the movie 功夫. Thanks a lot!!! It is very very special XD
And Kar Hoe, thanks to you, everyone in F9 class sang birthday song for me...
And a birthday cake from my family.

Thanks everyone & Sorry for the super late post...

PD Trip - 27th & 28th June

On the last week of my semester break, I went to P.Dickson with my secondary school friends. There are two meeting points. I met up with my friends at WMS at 8.50am, right on time. Left there around 9.10am. Met with those friends who left from Bukit Jalil at USJ R&R. Reach the destination around 12pm. Put our bags into the bungalow(Ayer Hitam bungalow) and out for lunch!! The bungalows there are named after name of places...Muar, Ayer Hitam....

After lunch, it is time to clean the bungalow.. I didn't expect it to be clean and it was much worse than what I expected. Phew... Activities started.. Mahjong, cards, chess and so on. The guys, including me played volleyball... First time playing in my entire life. We also played some "not so rough" rugby, using a volleyball.

In the evening, we went to the beach nearby. 9 of us went for a banana boat ride. It was quite slow because there are so many of us. Those who didn't go for the ride went back to the bungalow first to prepare dinner. Soon, everyone helped to prepare dinner. Spaghetti---> tomato and cabanera.. Mushroom soup from Campbell, a lot of sausages, egg salad and fruit salad. Can opener was left in KL. Process of opening the cans include barbecue sticks, hammer and scissors.. Haha. Cincau and lemonade was perpared too. Finally, dinner was served around 10pm.

Of course, the activities didn't just end there. The night is still young!! Some of us played mahjong and few of us started to try to finish the Heinekens and gin that was brought there. Each of us will choose a card. The person with the lowest will have to drink some of the gin/beer. The epic event that happened was when Sze Jian destroyed the mah jong pyramid with his leg... You can't imagine it if you weren't there. Everyone went to sleep at 3am. Only a few cans of beer left.

The room was cold. I was directly hit from the cold air from the air-con. Plus, there was no blanket. I didn't feel the coldness until 3 hours later. Sprang up from the bed, can't sleep at all. Quickly change into trackbottom and wore a jacket. Freaking cold...

Second day... ~~breakfast~~ brunch was prepared on our own. I was like an assistant to Terng Sheng who was busy preparing scrambled eggs while I was busy "cracking" the eggs. Seldom do this at home. Inexperience in it...

After checking out, we went to the Teluk Kemang beach. Wonder why the local authorities structure the drainage system this way... the drain water is let to flow into the sea. You can see the drain once you stepped on the beach. What a nice welcome. Anyway, we just had coconuts.

We left PD at 3.30pm. Not long after getting into the van, I think most of us fell asleep. The two vans parted ways at USJ R&R, which is also the meeting point.

This is an special experience and memory worth to be treasured. Although we did not relax much at PD, well, we worked together in many ways--> cleaning the bungalow? This will seldom happen during gatherings. Many things which I seldom do at home, maybe few times in a year, I did most of it here.

Cameron Highlands

Went to Cameron Highlands on 10/6/09-12/6/09. It has been a long time since I went there. Around 5 years? Or longer... I have forgotten how narrow the road is. Highlights of the trip is none other than the cold weather and the vege.. Stayed at Strawberry Park Resort.. There is a strawberry farm in the resort indeed! Anyway, a dinner without rice at Brinchang. The reason given by the restaurant, very late already so no more rice... Erm.. its about 8pm only? Thats the lesson for the day. Eat dinner early.

The most interesting part of the trip is visiting the Time Museum. This museum is very special. This museum display things that are from the timeframe of 1940(I think) onwards. The items displayed are items normally used during my parents childhood. Some of it still can be seen in my grandparents house!!!

Cash till seen in Gallery of Time

Lee Hom Concert 2009

Went to Lee Hom's concert for the first time. It was awesome and fantastic, although my ticket is RM138. Went to his concert with my sister and father. Didn't get to buy the merchandise. Too long queue and lazy to wait.

We reach Bukit Jalil at 5.30pm.. 2 and half hours before the concert start. However, there are many fans lining up at the entrances for the RM88 ticket. They want to get the best seat as it is free seating.

Anyway, we went into the stadium at 7.30pm. The concert started later than the time stated in the tickets. People are still coming in at 8.10pm.. The fans were given warnings that silent is not allowed throughout the concert and our hearbeat rate will increase, blood pressure will increase...And thats a normal effect in Music-Man Concert. Daniel Lee and Kay came out to sing first.. Kay was boo-ed when she came out. Aiks, people, no need like that lar.

The concert really start off with 摇滚这么了. The Bahamut is really nice :D Cost about US$30000. There are red lasers in the eyes of the dragon!!

Bahamut

Picture of Lee Hom with Bahamut!!

Lee Hom said that the theme of the concert is called "Music-Man" because during childhood, he likes Batman, Spiderman, Superman. Thus, he named himself the “Music-Man"!! There even has an animation of Music-Man as background when he came to stage. The animation ends with "当Music-Man卸下英雄装，也是个需要爱情的普通男子”

When he was singing 改变自己，there are three Lee Hom look alikes.. 2guitarist and 1 drummer.. They look so alike...

The concert ends around 11.10pm.. Just after the concert, fans are lining up to get the merchandise while I just go home..

PC Fair & Graduation Party

PC FAIR April 11th 2009
There wasn't any hall selling speakers in this PC Fair. Hate the main exhibition hall very much.. Packed with promoters of broadband.. Saw an "ang mo" promoter. First time seeing one in PC Fair loo.. The prices of the things there are not that cheap either.. The devices that I am interested in are the "smile shutter function" of the latest sony cybershot. It will take a picture when it detects a face with a smile... If group photo then, I wonder how many pictures will it take.

Another device is the HP touchscreen laptop, which Yeun Yi has one also!! That guy won't let us try with the stylus!!

By the way, I met my friend from my secondary school!!

Graduation Party @ Nagomi Shabu-Shabu, Menara Hap Seng
It is not actually a graduation party. We have this party because everyone of us passed our tax paper in CAT. Our lecturer Ms Joyce promised us a party if we done so. Mr Teo sponsored RM30 for each person too. THANK YOU!!

The food for the night

Vege!!

Meat
