Its an "Auntie" thing

"Ah, why do i feel sorry for them". I was talking to myself in a sardined monorail on the way to Bukit Nanas. The self-conversation was ignited from the sight of a handful of fifteens hugging each other on one of the stations with such intimacy that does not feel like it came out from the right place. I would really be convinced that the guy would be punch so hard if the father of the girl was to witnessed it; but yet again, maybe not, since everyone takes it as a norm these days.

I squeezed out of the sardin train with the imaginary pain thinking what if my daughter were to be touched freely and willingly by some other 15 year old. I would definitely punch the guy hard on the face.

An old lady in her fifties was holding a big yellow map in hand which distracted me from my self-invented pain while i walked down the stairs on the pathway to Dang Wangi Station. (No i did not ask what she thinks about young kids hugging each other) She was puzzled with her surrounding and waved around with her pointing directions while the young lady that was seemingly helping seem as puzzled as well. I "kepo-ly" approach them. The young lady saw me kepo-ing so she excused herself. And so, i was left alone with the auntie that was blabbering in fluent Cantonese, which i never picked up despite TVB dramas being on par with Disney when i was a kid.

"Shera-ton", she read it out loud with the low pitch emphasize on the "ton" that sounded exactly like how Honkies (Hong Kong people) would pronounce English words in soap dramas. Yes, she was from Hong Kong along with her two sisters which wobbled to our side while i researched the scribbled map and the aunties going frantically about how grateful they are :p

Oh! Sheralton Hotel is at the back of Dang Wangi, which by now would probably be too dangerous for the three aunties to wobbled their way back. Hence i offered to walk them while casually warning them to be careful of robberies. The next thing you know, their relieved faces stretch into tense faces with their eye balls almost popping up asking about safety and security and Malaysian police and... "C Lai", they are amazing creations :p

With the limited vocabs i have in Cantonese, which probably does not sound like Cantonese after all, i was surprisingly having a good time talking to them, about families, holidays, food, Sarawak and "KLCC" (i wish i could pronounce that in the Honkie way here :P) Of course they go all the way about their kids and their kids' education and career. And till we had to say goodbye, i wished the road to the hotel was longer. I think they were saying that they were thankful by their murmuring of "hou hou yan a" but i felt great myself to be able to lend a hand to 3 lost Hong Kong Aunties that were so cute and adorable. Hopefully they would not have to come across any robberies throughout their stay,

although its probably something you can only find in Malaysia ;)

to my favourite Aunt, Auntie Ching Pui :)

which speaks Cantonese too, but English to me la

Manchester United Malaysian

Yea as the papers says, Manchester United came to Malaysia (and still is in) for their Asian tour.
And yea, i did get to go =p

Because of early tickets from Daniel, who got it from Michelle, we get to have Training Passes on Friday to watch the all -England Giant train in Stadium Bukit Jalil. Happily we thought it was so exclusive that maybe only a few hundred lucky winners get to possessed training pass only. Well, were so wrong as it was jamming madly on Friday. EVERYONE's going all the way to the Stadium with their jerseys on just to see the players run around the field. And since no one's really playing soccer, their warming up and warming down session became the crowds' best entertainment. "O MY GAWD FERDINAND'S STRETCHING!!!!" =.=''

On Saturday! After worship practice, we hop on Daniel's Unser and rush to Bukit Jalil in compliments of other Man U fans that contributed to the heavy road jam.

When we got in the Stadium, the players were coming out already. Woo!!!

But what caught me more was, the massive massive amount of human beings in that venue. Never been to a stadium before so i've never expected this (besides on tv). Look at that, every single tiny dot is a person that can shout and scream and make noise!!!

The wave of cheers can be literally felt as the anticipation level was boiling. The red sea of jerseys just adds nicely into the whole atmosphere.

Eh! Sarawak! ( an the flag's hung upside down my friend =.= )

After getting stunned by the unrecognizable individuals that flooded all our seats (ish), i looked down and saw non other than*takes deep breathe, the people that made Malaysians let aside their money, time and even honor of betraying their own country.

!!!Manchester United!!!

We had to seat at higher seats as the seats we paid for are all filled up. Somehow the whole stadium thingy reminds me of Harry Potter and their Quiditch Tournament. No? :P

Well in case you didn't notice, i've just taken a photo that would earn me RM50 on Star Newspaper :D

The match kicked off! Malaysia was obviously a standard lower as compared to the English man of smooth passes and crosses. I think no one actually had hope on Malaysia as of history told us the last game they played ended up 6 vs 0. The worst thing was, Malaysia was playing HOME and the home crowd is screaming loud for the visiting team =.= Malaysia Boleh...

After few minutes of kick off, Rooney scored an easy goal in front of the goal post. Wasn't really exciting but the stadium was roaring. It was so easy that i think everyone was expecting the next one in minutes.

Yeap without much waiting, the second goal from Man U proceeded. Woooo!!! again the stadium was shaken with cheers of the Man U fans.

2 vs 0 so far.

But but, right before half time, a Malaysian player Amri Yahya (if not mistaken) went through the defences and just gently tilt the ball... i wasn't expecting it to go in, so was people around me, and so was Van Der Sar. And it went in.

GOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I jumped on my feet and started screaming along with 99,999 human beings around. Malaysia scored !!! WOOo!!!! i bet all Malaysians in the stadium had their time of their life, to cheer for their own country, in football, against Manchester United.=.= WOoo!

2 vs 1

With so much joy, the halftime whistle was blown. Daniel and i went to get some food and drinks, just for the sake of getting stadium food which i only see in tele on american football movies "hotdogs hotdogs"

Apparently Malaysia not only do not have such service, people had to squeeze around the fences to buy stuff from the seller outside of the stadium hall. We were like prisoners hungry for food and water struggling our hands and waving in desperation for the abang and kakak out there to mercifully pass us their stuff. Ok, lets move on =D

Before we could get our food, the stadium was suddenly filled with the sound waves of human shouts. AAAA, we ran up the stairs while joining our vocal chords with the majority in desperation to see what happen. Manchester scored most probably. But when we reached the deck, we saw the blue people crowding together. OMG!! Malaysia scored once more!!!! can u believe it?? we are tied against one of the world's best team!

2 vs 2

After settling down, i realised Malaysia was really playing quality football. Their passes are more accurate and their confidence were real up! Come On Malaysia! If they can pull it through, its gonna be real good news for Malaysia football man. I never really watched Malaysia played before and as everyone says, our national football is hopeless. But from the way i see it, they're pretty good yo! :D scoring 2 against Man U, come on, buy that! And MU was playing serious as well for your info~

During the middle of the second half, a Malaysian player fell and the medics were treating him. ( its so sad that i don't know anyone from the Malaysian squad) All of a sudden the crowd was getting real loud, i thought they were cheering for the injured fellow Malaysian, but for and behold, they were shouting for this guy...

Michael Owen which transfered to MU made his debut with jersey number 7. And of all people, he became the spoiler which scored the winning goal for MU. But honestly, it was 0.00001mm for the defender to prevent the ball from scoring. so closeee..... but anyway thats just football, doesn't matter how u score as long as the freaking ball as the line and into the net =.=

3 vs 2

Well it was more than expectations already. I really was expecting another 6 or 7 goals from MU but it was so tied up. Wow...definitely worth the money man. Not to watch Manchester United players and in their new jersey, but to find hope and gratitute for our very own Malaysian football team!!! :):):):)

Below are some random photos from the match. We were seating 5 rows from the highest seat, but the photos taken were way visible than dslr.

I'm starting to love my camera once more :) sorry cammy, for ditching you all this while. haha.

the old chap, Giggs

Only the red team get to go up and shake some Dato's hand and pocket some medals while the national team left silently. Whats is wrong wei....

Um, why is she there? Security!!

Group pic! man this photo is so good! but it would have been the best picture, if only the camera person is in it :(

haha, its ok la, im use to it :)

Goodbye Manchester United,

thanks for bringing Malaysians together,
and show them what Malaysian football is really about.
Thanks for giving me the chance,
to cheer for my country's ex-hopeless sport.
and thanks for making me look forward to,
that one day when Malaysia will beat Man U :D

Say Cheese!

Filled with full anticipation of capturing the excitement and unexpected things that were going to happen for the then, up coming weekend, excitedly i charged my double A's and cleared the 4GB memory card to prepare myself, which i normally do not do =p With 3 odd size bags wrapping all over me, i boarded the public transport like an immature korean backpacker and cruise through train stations and rushing streets to reach the gather point =)

After some time, i saw similar "tourists" with better luggage management that looked equally lost yet enthusiastic about their lost status. Mingled around and found out everyone there was about the same age, 17 to 24 max. Suddenly, someone pass us a large brown paper bag and said, ,"thrust all your valuables inside, you won't be having it for the weekend. Handphones, camera, watches all in ok?" With amazement, i blackout for a few seconds. OK, so i just brought the bulky camera with fully charge batteries and an empty memory card waiting to be filled when IT is going to spend its weekend in a brown paper bag instead of being used. Nicee.... XD

But of course it was understandable that I won't have time for photos, with all that was going on, it would be great to subsitute the seconds i have for pressing the camera shuttle with resting my legs and eyes like this -_- ( ok can't include legs in emoticons. haha.) Plus the camp wasn't suppose to be exposed so besides group pictures, i don't think anyone has anything more.

Nontheless, it was still a wonderful camp, to spice things up, for your information, Prince Williams took a gap year and went for an expedition under Raleigh as well. Hm, did that spice things up? :/ haha.

For the only pictures that was captured for nolstagic rememberance, here there are...

We were group in 3 teams, named after the alphabets A,B,C= Alpha, beta.. eh eh, Bravo, and Charlie. And that cute charming beautiful team in the photo is Team Charlie! =)

Gotten them from facebook so its very the pixel pixel S.S

Raleigh Kuala Lumpur! Nice one!

I'm Lovin it =)

Went for stage material hunting last weekend. Along with some great companies which too bad for them, had to keep their cool with the camera focusing on them all the time =) Scroll down slowly and enjoy =)

Simplicity, Complications

Finally P1 wimax is working properly. It really gets on my nerves when electronics or machines die on me. I have the urge of slamming it mercilessly to see how it deserves to be in crack pieces for not functioning. However rationals told me otherwise. Guys out there who are using P1, hows it going? Its nearly a hundred bucks a month but the service doesn't balance the price tag. God help me.

Its been 2 days of school so far. Whats making them such 'interesting' days are, the repetitive scenario i get into. funny la! :p People around gave me that strange look, like i'm some kinda new kid in school but dejavu told them they met me somewhere before. Yea its the hair, (who cares bout the hair) the hair that was trimmed with perfect courage and determination which now leads to full controversy within myself, and the world. haha, maybe not that serious but hey, imagine EVERY SINGLE PERSON you talk to for these 2 days starts the conversation with your hair cut. haha, ironically disturbing yet enjoying :D

I didn't wanna pose up my haircut cause there's gonna be an endless number of haircuts that i would have, but since its making sush a fuss in my everyday life, why not? :P

~sorry for the unhappening expression~

The change in velocity of living has accelerated so drastically that brakes aren't usable anymore. From the simple routine of waking up and doing whatever i felt like doing, to following a fixed timetable of double lectures and tutorials while the intervals are effortlessly filled with task and jobs that i didn't really invite. Its college life once more!

As the ''student council'' may be a serious thing, its running all over again. I felt sad that the school did not entrust us with the events we were parallel and certainly capable of. We got a more simple yet dull task of conducting a 2-day-orientation with whichever thousand figure the new bunch will be, instead of organizing The-Annual-College-Events which all organizers in college would crave to lay hands on. Although you might have absolutely no idea what the heck am i talking about, its ok, i will reconstruct my perspective once my narrow enclosed mind understood what God has planned for all the mysterious happenings. so don't worry! haha




If there is a difference between Kuching and KL besides the alphabet followed by 'K', it would be everything else. One is just plain, underutilised, breezy and simple. The other is packed, congested, interesting, indescribably tense, and sophisticated. The people you see around street, both have total difference in purpose and direction. I'm grateful i'm expose to both.

Remember the post before this, with all the shoes gather gleefully in that homey picture? now there's just a single pair, beached a thousand miles away from home, shaping its footsteps in a complicated pool of uncountable foot prints in a sophisticated city. The complications behind is almost tangible.

There's a saying,

"A thousand miles, starts with a single Converse shoe step"

now that could have only came from someone as ridiculous,
as me :D

College Sem 3, here i come!

3 days of sumthin'

Sarcasm FTW. I don't know if some people are just stupid or playing stupid or they want to be pissy and create a fuss out of nothing. GROW. SOME. BALLS. Life's so much better if you can just laugh it off or just ignore it.

Anyways, that's not what I want to talk about. :p

So I went to KL for a mini vacation. 3 days of walking + sweat + blisters. Oh yea, *counts*, I have like 6 blisters on my feet. Quite painful but it's nothing, got used to it. Stupid Yang said KL was not that hot, bullshit, it was so humid and hot that i sweat like crazy.

Nothing much, just met and walked around with friends. I honestly can't shop with friends la. I didn't spend much. I think I only spent RM 100 (it's way better than Yang who mysteriously spent RM 800 in a week ok?!) [RM60 gone for that fibrewig mascara, LOL]

Honestly, KL isn't that great, I wouldn't have gone there if it weren't for me wanting to meet friends. Bangkok is THE best shopping heaven for me. Seriously, it's as hot as KL, but i like that place so much better. maybe cause everything there is cheaper The food there is....ZOMGYUMMY!! Especially the hawker stalls. Cheap street food plus their orange (real) juice = I WANT!

Ei, and I don't know why everyone thinks that I'm a spender. BOO HOO, I'm not. T_T You think I like dining in fancy restaurants and buying branded clothes and spending money like water??! I HATE eating at stupid ass dinners at fancy restaurants where they serve you lousy western food with SMALL portion. So not worth the price man. Buffet is another different story. :p At least you get to eat a lot you know.

Oh and shit, I hate superficial people to the max. You know, the ones who "look down" upon people just cause they don't dress that well but their eyes open wide when they see the cash. I tell you this true story. One day in Singapore, my dad's friend who happened to dress simply went into a 5-star hotel to book a room. The people at the reception told him off and asked him to wait outside and said that this is a 5-star hotel that he cannot afford. He got really mad and then he brought a suitcase full of cash. And the workers and managers were like, "OH NOES!? WHO KNEW?? HE HAS THAT MUCH MONEY?!" and said sorry and all that. I know how there's people like that cause sometimes when we go into stores and look around, the workers also give us the "look". SHIT. They don't even have the basic manners and etiquettes.

Major turn offs at stores and boutiques.
1. the "Stalker" worker - the one who follows you everywhere around the store, you move one step, she moves one step, makes you feel like a thief. Later I really steal something then she know. -_-

2. the "Superficial" worker - already stated. the one who gives extra "attention" to others just cause they have more diamond rings on?

3. the "Talkative" worker - They just don't know when to shut up. It's like they keep talking and talking and talking about this product, which, leads to another (advertising another thing). Desperate much? When I said, "It's okay, I'm just looking around.", I really mean it. Usually I'll just leave the store if she keeps on talking cause it freaks me out.

4. the "Too-good-for-you" worker - the one who thinks they're better than you and they give you a pissed-off face when you walk around. Grr.. Usually my mum hates this kind of people, she won't hesitate to say stuffs about them right on the spot. And I'm like, " IN YOU FACE!!!" *sticks tongue out*







Okay, that's all. I sound so grumpy. :p I'm not, feelin' happy actually.

Akhem, Mr?

Anything wrong with this picture?

Malaysians are very considerate people :)

"Similaritical" us

Have you had those feelings when you think, you saw this particular person before somewhere maybe?

"hey this guy looks familiar.."

Doesn't that sound familiar? XD

Well sometimes ( i think ) its not, exactly you seeing this or that guy before but actually, you saw someone that looks almost identical to that person before somewhere. (My opinion is) Of the Billions around the world, there are a lot of human sharing very similar appearance. (Don't you think so?) Did God made it on purpose or not i'm not sure but just think, what are the odds of having Billions of COMPLETELY DISTINCTLY different looking people? Even DNA and genes among homogeneous species might come across high percentage of similar code and patterns. So why won't people look similar too?

This is Jun Yi ( In TAR woth us too)

In a more simple tense, have anyone come across situations where people commented that this person looks SO a like to Brad Pitt or James Blunt, Jolin Tsai, or even Simon Cowell? (For me maybe) its because this celebrities are more widely known, people have chances of comparing the above "theory" i said. More people know them so more people realise that this fellow or that idiot looks somehow like Simon. Make sense? hmm

I caught myself thinking through this because i can't help but to figure out how similar two person can look like despite having totally no blood relation.

Ok so you might be wondering why Jun Yi's picture is there, here's why...

A random man on a train who looks 90% alike to Jun Yi

So, is it true, that people all around the place have really similar figures, that God did not make everyone so so completely different instead, left slight similarities among? Its up to you to believe. All I have to say here is....





This guy really looks like me XDD
(i did the hair! nice or not?? haha)

Pictures when..

I'm in... KL

~At the airport~



Nice car plate :) saw it on the day when we went for Man U Chelsea match at 2am morning @.@
MAN U WON!!!!!!


My desk, books, water bottle, gum, retainer, drawings, Big Mac???



We are friendly environmentalist. And i'm a graphic accountant XD We group our garbage! but too bad we can't find any recycle bin at all around here :(



Mass Call is what they refer to orientation i suppose. Guess how many people are taking the same course as me. 90? 290? 490?..... 900!!!!



Touring school with 900 accounting students is really an experience. Though the school is so big, i still feel so tiny and pack with the "gang". See the students walking towards this direction, the line just won't finish!!!



Can't get internet access at hostel unless we wanna spend money at the hostel cyber cafe. So thats the picture in the closed canteen at night XD Doing something no one else does ( so far as i know )is....COOL XD


Look what we found ------>

Cute puppies!!! XD

On society day, by pure chance, we joined this ATCL programme which stands for Adjustment to College Life. I had no idea why i walk into that dance room hall cause the programme sounded lame. But who the heck knows that it was SO FUN!!! Thanks TAR ppl, with all the orientation and this sorta activities. freshmen are provided with full preparation physically and mentally. And i mean it. haha.

Jo and I were yet again with coincidence placed in the same group. This group was the coolest among all 13 because first of all, i like it very much.haha. In consist of 3 sweet nice malays, Nisa(accounting seniour), Azhar (a fashion desginer and Tenor for school choir!), Najihah (shy broadcasting girl); a friendly Indian, Kartini (my seat-reserver XD), 3 bananas (Jo, Andres and Jen, sorry guys =D) along with a super humourous guy ah seng and creative director team leader....The chines guy in Man U shirt XDD

We won FIRST PRIZE after finishing the telematch, sharing session and lastly exploding the crowd during presentation with the most stand out and creative idea and a talented ah seng as our presenter. That was what i meant by meeting the perfect people with creative idea and strong spirit.
Thank you my Lord :)


As for the 3 on 3 match, here it is! YAY YAY YAY XD
