Goreng Komputer

While dotaing and listening to Adam Lambert's no boundaries (and Adam's version pawns Kris allen, period), out of sudden, my screen went blank.

Immediately my attention was diverted towards the cpu, where the light went off as well, signifying the termination of power supply. Then, cloud of smokes started emerging rapidly from the CPU, and the smell was atrocious, to a point where I choke and coughed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

Somebody call 911,
PC's burning on my house floor, wo-oh-oh. Literally speaking.

Jibet today was supposed to be a happy day, yet I was greeted with the death of my beloved computer.

I shall leave it to cool down until tomorrow, to see which went wrong. Hope it's no my HDD if not I'll seriously murder myself.

Promtay later, blazer and bow tie? Lol.

Melaka Part 1

After hours, day and night of filtering, editing, and uploading, I hereby present you the first part of my Melaka trip, with my college friends.

Before you begin reading, I shall have some forewords. This will be one hell long of a post, so you will have 2 choices now.

1) Read and observe the photos happily, and be jealous, if you wish XD

2) I don't think you don't wanna read, so yeah, just freaking read or see the photos coz i know u wanna see them :)

Eh give face a bit la u think edit and select photos out of hundreds of photos is a fun job is it, quite tedious wan ok.

Day 1

So... where to start...

We gathered at Zhi San's house and had breakfast (except me, coz I'm a good boy who wanna eat breakfast with my family) in the morning before departing. Traveled in 2 cars, of which both the drivers (Eyu and Kian How) were kind enough to offer their cars as our transport tool there.

I think it's quite impossible to travel in melaka without a car, you can, but it'll be super inconvenient. Unless you like to walk under the scorching hot sun from one end to the other, you won't if you're a Malaysian I dare say.

Photobucket

The sign of read houses tells us we're there... Melaka, the city of many historical land marks.

Just step into any places, especially jonker walk, you'll see shops and houses which still retains their historical breath, be it in the form of structure, culture and the people around there.

Photobucket

Lol, I'm talking as if I'm a foreigner who have never been to Melaka, but truth is, Melaka is somewhere I thought it was nothing but a boring place, never have I even think that I'll go there for a vacation with a bunch of friends. But I was wrong.

It was an experience like no others.

Photobucket

In fact, I think this is the first time I've walked the jonker street from end to ends, (fyi they have 2 ends, because it's a split road) and to discover the beautiful buildings and structure which are still lying on the ground is quite an amazing feeling. Probably because it's preserved to attract tourists, but either way, I get to see it, the government get to attract tourists, so it's a win win thing.

Photobucket

Ok anyway, back to Melaka. Upon arrival, we decided to leave our luggage first and check in at our budget hotel. It's not exactly a hotel, it's more like a hostel/guest house kind of accommodation.

Photobucket

Meet Tang House. It's run by a family, so you get very friendly services and all, plus the best part is, it's really clean. My idea of budget hotel is like those old, unfurnished, yellow-ish type with paints peeling off from the wall, and green mosses growing in the toilet etc, but much to my surprise, this was a total opposite. For my first budget hotel stay, I'll give this a 10 out of 10 :D

Photobucket

Let me just introduce this place to you briefly. Upon entering, you'll see this mini art gallery in the hall, as well as 2 computers for you to access for free (with internet duh), and a small lounge for you to eat. There's also books, cards, checkers, chess etc etc for you to play! It's a really homey place for people and tourists, with much of it's local touch and vibe.

Photobucket

Initially, we reserved 2 medium room and 1 large room, but the boss was kind enough to upgrade our medium room to large, without any increase in charge! Weeee :D The entire place is newly furnished, very clean, and they have this balcony which you can relax, sit down, chit chat and play some songs. Not to mention there's also an open kitchen for you to cook if you want, provided you don't burn down the entire place.

Photobucket

Meet Eyu, a very pro guitarist and singer, walao I think all the girls melted already when they heard him sing. Basically, the balcony is where friends hang out, maybe have a drink or two, be chatty and merry, play and sing songs together. What else could have been better?

Photobucket

The hostel is located right at the entrance of Jonker Street, somewhere easy to locate and basically convenient for us to get down for a walk at Jonker. From the balcony itself, if you turn stand close to the left corner, you could see the entrance and stage of Jonker's Walk, where there will be performances every weekend. We didn't watch any of them though.

Photobucket

And ahead of you will be the views of Temple, churches, and the scenic view of Melaka's blue sky. Not that there's any difference in Melaka's sky and KL's sky, but well, I have to write like it's very impressive, beautiful and all right, so exaggerate a bit lor XD

The 1 night stay there was purely awesome. But, there's only one problem, because it's a guest house and the fact that it's quite small, we're not really allowed to be super noisy like we usually do. Well, let's just say we're too ignorant to ignore that, oh well. Bitches we are.

Anyway, I strongly recommend people/tourist/friends and family to stay there if you're going to visit melaka, it's CLEAN, CHEAP AND REALLY CONVENIENT! (provided if you don't mind sharing toilets with other guests, but who cares, it's new and clean)

The 1 night stay there only cost us about RM16 per person.

Photobucket

After leaving our luggage, all our stomachs were growling like mad already. Our first destination? the all time famous Melaka Chicken Rice Ball! The last time I ate melaka's rice ball at Mahkota Parade, it sucked and I told myself this piece of shit is over-rated. I hope I wont be disappointed this time, because I've never been to the real famous stall!

Photobucket

On our way there, we spotted our own Jason Mraz and Perez Hilton.. Wait, since when are they even walking together? -.-

Photobucket

Anyway, here's the famous stall, we reached there at about 3pm+ and heck, why is the que still so long, I thought it's way past lunch time already.

Photobucket

It's located near one end of Jonker Street, and when you saw the Ah Xian poster, you'll probably know you came to the right stall :) The 11 of us waited for our turn before going in, because it's still fully occupied =(

Photobucket

Note the shop's name, this is the stall you want to go to for a nice and delicious rice ball.

Photobucket

And so we camwhored.

Photobucket

And camwhored..

Photobucket

Repeating..

Photobucket

Oh well this is only like 5% of the total..

Photobucket

Mini group photo, less the photographer :)

Photobucket

And so the foods arrived. They kinda ran out of rice balls so they gave us normal rice as well. Trust me, I think this is the best rice ball I've ever tasted. Probably because, this is only my second time and it's better than the first? lol.

Chicken was normal only. Still, it's worth the try.

After meal = shopping at Jonker. The girls have to stop by every single store, doing what they are best at. Photos below are pretty self explanatory, not gonna caption already, i'm getting tired of typing.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Looks like my sister XD elder but shorter. HAHAHAHA

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Horny bitch who get overly excited over a mural with a dick. hahaha.

Back to cam-whoring in the room.

Photobucket

Photobucket

The girls were happily cam-whoring until......... little did they realize, they just got caught in a candid shot.

Photobucket

Awesome pic below.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Wow I looked so pale like ghost. o o o o o o .

Photobucket

They intended to take a very lesbianic photo, a lot of shots were taken, some failed, and some... i think this one's the sweetest XD

*

So.. Our afternoon were mainly spent on walking and shopping around Jonker Street.

Night falls into place, with much excitement, our 1 day Melaka City trip is just starting to get interesting.

With much recommendation from people all over the places, forumers especially, almost everyone who've been to Melaka strongly recommends the all time must-try Capitol Satay Celup, located somewhere near Bukit Cina. We walked there from our guest house, which takes about 30 mins, of which 20 mins were spent squeezing through the crowded Jonker street at night.

Photobucket

Look at the crowd man, the entire street turned even more lively at night, with more people and stalls. It's very much like Pasar Malam, only with more things to sell. But bare in mind, walking along the streets also mean bathing in sweats, be very prepared to wear cozy and windy clothes.

Photobucket

And it's a totally different view at night. Buildings were lighted up with red/orange lights, making the entire structure looked more dashing and vibrant, creating that kind of warm-reddish ambiance. I think you can only see this in the heart of Melaka City. It's truly remarkable.

Photobucket

It was really quite an enjoyable experience walking through the streets of red buildings, of shops and houses. Which I can't help but to reflect of on our history, the remnance of the past, the dominance of Portuguese, British and the Japanese. What's left standing on the ground is an effort, that must be appreciated.

Photobucket

We passed by Melaka River as well. How nice is it to stay beside a river, where you wake up every morning to be greeted by a steady flow of water, which signifies endless flow and the beginning of a new life. You see a bit of the resemblance of Venice, just that the water is chocolate in color XD

Photobucket

Naturally taken, funny expression from Wei Yi.

Photobucket

This is Restaurant Capitol Satay Celop. Not hard 2 locate, ask anyone in Melaka and they will easily direct you there. Again, que-ing.... sigh why everywhere in Melaka also have to que. There's also this very famous cendol stall at Jonker walk we never manage to try, because the que is even scarier.

Photobucket

Well, good food comes with a price. And for that it's accompanied by a long wait, but since we're the biggest group there, I guess the queuing process was still considerably bearable.

Photobucket

Ok, food verdict time. You see, it's called Satay Celop for a reason. I guess most of the KL-rians have had no idea what on earth is this about, let me just enlighten you.

Satay, like the conventional skewed meat (chicken, mutton or beaf) on a stick, this comes with a big variety, ranging from seafoods, to meats and some fried stuffs. Some foods are kept refrigerated, you get a tray, much like the buffet style, and you pick what you like to eat. Each sticks cost about 70 cents, with the exceptional of other foods which comes in the form of colored plates.

Photobucket

And there's this hot pot in the middle, composing of the typical satay gravy, where you insert your stick into this hot pot and wait until it's cooked.

If you tried "lok-lok" before, I guess you know what I'm talking. But this comes with a satay sauce. Every now and then, the staff will refill the pot, and they will also bring a scoop of nuts and add it into the pot, restoring the flavors and amount of sauce in the pot.

Oh they also replace a new pot of sauce whenever customers leaves. Unlike some other stalls which I heard, they only replenish the sauce, instead of replacing a new one.

Photobucket

This is the first time I've ever tried Satay Celop, although I won't say it's totally exquisite, the experience is still worthwhile. Not every food blends well with the satay sauce you see, in fact some even tasted quite weird.

After the meal, we went back to our guest room with much satisfaction, and the night has just begun.

I shall resume in part 2, till then.

Carlos Pavilion

Since I'm going to Melaka tomorrow until Monday, must at least complete my Carlos post first XD

And i'm super excited of this upcoming trip, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. All of us were basically talking about it day and night.

*

So..

On the last day of AS...

We celebrated, with much craziness.

Coz...

WE WATCHED .... DRAG ME TO HELL!


Wow. super crazy right.

FUCKING SCARY MOVIE.

Scared the shit out of me. I think I cried for mommy on and off through out the movie, aihz.

And I literally peed in the cinema, can hear the "shh.. shh.." peeing sound some more.

Which adds on to the crazy ambiance of the cinema.









right.

That was our initial plan actually, but suddenly, an abrupt decision changed everything :D Instead of watching a lame horror, we came out with something brilliant.

ZS: Eh, why not we all just sit down and drink!! Hunt and Kate they all also late ad.
Me: Wow :D Yes no movie yes.

The rest kinda agreed.

Then Kate called (because they were still in the car, late duh), with much excitement, OMG SERIOUSLY DITCH MOVIE AND WE GO DRINK DRINK :D :D

Basically, majority agreed with the idea of chilling out at the lobby's pub and lounges, in which I think it's a much better decision to call the completion of AS exam a day, rather than a movie, which we can't chat much and would probably be bored.

And then out of the few pubs, we chose Carlos, for their shisha and food

Photobucket

2 Jugs of beer for 10 of us, another 2 for free, sebab kita ni handsem dan pretty kan (excluding me la ok)

Photobucket

CHEEERS!!! For A levels, and my beloved class, AN9A. Lame as it sounds, but never mind.

Apart from drinking, we also shisha-ed along, and fuck la so expensive one.. cost us 40 bucks for 1 sisha? jug? flavor?? no idea what's the appropriate term for 1 [ xx ] sisha, so yeah fill in the xx yourself.

We ordered 2 of it. Other places price like only half of it nia.. ma. rip off. knn.

1 grape berry, another 1 V.I.P, if my memory still serves me well.

Photobucket

Walao I tell you those girls sisha even more than guys, should I insert names here? ^^ probably not later everyone will come and bash me up.

Smokes. in. action.

Photobucket

Hunt the bouce? <-- bouce is a term he named for himself, have no idea of it's origin, definition or whatsoever shit, probably a crap out of random-fying attempts. XD cute though.

Photobucket

Yours truly, which do not fit into any appropriate definition.

Photobucket

Kate
the wild cat. WHO JUST GOT HER 1K WORTH NUFFNANG CHECK FTW?!??!?

Photobucket

Eyu. Note the spelling. Surname's EYU. Yeap, it's a word. Lol the pic looks a bit like a moustache, no idea how he did that but it's impressive.

Photobucket

Meet Su Ann, no smokes. lol. failed. XD

Photobucket

Basically, what else do you do with a bunch of people drinking and sishaing? Truth or dare came in right at the time.

Photobucket

It didn't last long >:( some people didn't really wanna play, and it ended very quickly. But nvm, we have decided to continue this game AT MELAKA!!!

We rent a bungalow at A famosa, with a pool man (for Sunday). Imagine playing in the pool in the night, doing sohai stuffs, drinking and chatting etc. WEEEEEEE, it feels so excited just thinking about it!

And on saturday, we will be staying over at a budget guest house called Tang's House. Cheap accommodation, no idea about their environment and stuffs yet but I think it'll be a lovely stay though. Will be roaming around the city hunting for foods during the day, and clubbing at night! WEEEEEEEE.

I know the WEEEEEEEEE is annoying but, YOU HAVE NO FRICKEN IDEA HOW LONG WE PLANNED THIS TRIP, and to make it a sucess, is just plain awesome :D Despite the fact that a lot has happened during this week especially, some very dramatic some more leh.. may blog about it some other day maybe.

EH wait, I'm not blogging about melaka am i? Going back to Carlos.

Photobucket

So yeah, truth or dare, one result of dare can be illustrated by the picture above, the only person dancing in that pub.

Photobucket

The night ended with much merry-merriness m, i love my class mates, I love our activities, and there's only half a year left with them. Time flies so fast, sigh, especially the time when the attachment is getting stronger.

but anyway, MELAKA HERE I COME...

V for Vendetta

Suddenly, I felt like reciting the introductory speech of V, from V from Vendetta. [and by reciting, i mean typing it out here, along with my imagination]

Voila!

In view, a human vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously by the vicissitude of fate.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi,
now vacant, vanished.

However, this valorous visitation of this bygone vexation stands vivified,
and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vise,
(high rise in volume)
and vouchsafing the violently vicious veracious violation of volition!

(pause, break, resume in low volume)


The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta,
held as a votive not in vain,
for the values and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and virtues.

Cannot understand what shit is this? Nevermind XD it's a poem.

P/s: I typed the above poem out by sheer memory, without even referring to any source. So to speak, I'm a die hard fan of V for Vendetta! That movie is just plain awesome.

"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof. " - V

Laters.

Of Buffet and Pasta Zanmai and 17 again?

Before I start, I must say, with great delight, AS LEVEL EXAMINATION HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED! YES BBBBBBBBBBB AS, I have enough shit of you for one continuous month, so yeah. fart off.

*

Oh, btw, I think this is a gonna be a boring post.




Coz..





I said so? Not like i have any interesting posts ~.~ Anyway...

It's probably because there's nothing much going on during the exam period. So yeap, I thought I should just put up some photos.

So one boring day, after accounting MCQ paper, I went to KLCC to meet up with my family for a buffet session! buffet, AGAIN?? my last visit to yaki-yaki buffet is just like, 1 month apart only? which also kinda explains me getting so so so so so fat =(

Photobucket

Seems familiar? You must be thinking.. Taj Mahal right?

OBVIOUSLY IT'S TAJ MAHAL LA HAIYO. But I guess you didn't know it's made up of lego.

Photobucket

Remember all the times when you build your imaginary house with legos? Or after building something, you intend to plot some vast destruction by crushing down the entire lego structure to mimic some pathetic building-demolish-tragic scenes? (As if you're a director of a movie or something?)

Photobucket

But have you ever wonder, if back in those days you were smart enough to fully utilize legos into making some wonderful structures like *wink* the photos above, don't you think you'll be able to impress the eyes of many?

Jealous leh..

Photobucket

And I think the best lego made structure is this 1.. Petra Treasury, go google/wiki it if you don't know what it is.

*

Ok back to Saisaki. Oh it's one of the 3 company under Shogun, this one is located at KLCC. Again, it's having 50% promotion for lunch.

Photobucket

This time, Kate and Hunt tagged along, it was a rather spontaneous decision of them XD Kate wanted to shop at KLCC and Hunt was kinda forced to go, in a manner.

*

Ok at this point, i have nothing much to write ad. it's getting lamer, and lamer. wtf

Just look at the photos.

Photobucket

Remark: ooo.... 0eeyyeissterrr anioneenee???

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Remark: Kate said this looked like her dog's bone. Wtf it's a lamb shank ok, i think your dog would probably be jealous of me eating it.

Eh crap why am i equating myself and a dog???????????

Photobucket

Photobucket

Verdict? It only cost RM25 per pax (inclusive of tax), and I say it's 10 times better than Yaki Yaki. More variations, more expensive foods, even though some dishes were plain mediocre (some were quite terrible though), but for what it's worth, at least I had a great time eating there :)

*

Last friday, after our last 2 hardcore papers, we went to mid valley. To celebrate the ALMOST DONE AS, as well as 1 more mcq paper of econs to go.

ooooooo...... pasta zanmai. oooooooooo...

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Remark: Food, duhhh?

*

Watched 17 again later. Verdict? Zac efron is.. a

fucking..

man whore..

why?

coz he looked so dam handsome >.<

Such people exist to bring down my self esteem.. SIGH.. WHY.. THE WORLD..

UNFAIR..

*#@#SDFDopiopda0-12390*#@!90-

ooo... emo... ooo..

*jealousy speech above*

Ok babai .

You Can’t Get Enough of Transformers

Yay, transformer. yay.

Photobucket

So.. this is the movie that everybody have been raving about ever since the first release, breaking the blockbuster record, and basically made every transformer fan out there going hu-ha about it.

Photobucket

And then, 2 years later, this movie will be making a come back and once again, making everyone jumping in excitement

Heck, just look at any movie forums, take LYN (click click *wink*) for example, seriously I think this is the only movie discussion thread in the forum which has made it's way till the 58th page, even before the movie itself has been released.

Photobucket

To be frank, I donno who isn't excited about this movie at all. It's like everyone I spoke to, they will tell me about how they can't wait for this movie, how awesome the cars and robots are, how hot megan fox is, ya da ya da ya da. Well as for me, sadly I fall in the same category as them XD IT'S TRANSFORMERRRRRRRRR WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEI OMFG. the caps definitely do not justify my excitement.

Photobucket

As bimbotic as I may sound, I shall try my best to keep my cool :D Actually, I have a different perspective regarding this movie. Here's my 2 cents. Transformer, a movie between the battle of the robots, and obviously there's transformation right. Come to think of it, everybody will have their own transformation at some point of life, be it turning to the better or the worst, it's an inevitable way of life that we cannot deny.

Photobucket

We live in the world of hope, solely based on the opinion that tomorrow will be a better day. Like who doesn't wish to transform into some super hero who only saves the world and does nothing else at all? (of course there's also the part where the hero will ultimately fall in love with a girl and they live happily ever after ~.~). In reality, we often wish to transform to someone or something bigger, the hope to transform, despite our limited capability. But then again, it is such thoughts that motivates us, that drives us to achieve the impossible.

And so they say, think big, dream bigger.

Warren buffet once said : I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.

Photobucket

BAH!!! This post should be about HOW I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF TRANSFORMERS!! Sorry for going so off-topic but, everyone could write a thousand words about how nice and how badly they want the tickets, but who really gave a second thought about such movies? Even if it's the most intense action flick, or a humorously joy-filled comedy, I believe each movie carries it's own belief and values, and deep down inside, we just need to spare a thought, to reflect about what life has done to us until now, and how we can transform to a better person in life.

Photobucket

So.. all I want to say is.. PLEASE GIVE ME THE PREMIER SCREENING TRANSFORMER TICKETS PLSSS PREETTY PWEASE PWEASE PWEASSEE!!

even though it's just a hope, it's still worth trying :D
