(This will only be a really brief summary)

16th Dec, Wednesday.

Joo called me, nic and karen out (or Karen called me, Joo and nic out) for dinner. But for some reason, only me and Joo met up.

Joo suggested the Obake-Ya Restaurant-a prison themed restaurant, and since neither of us ate there before, we decided to give it a try.

It took us about 25 minutes and 2 phone calls to reach there. (sorry la. i'm a road name idiot 路名白痴). That place looks great from the outside and inside. The decoration is good. Just that the toilet looks more like a haunted house more than a prison.

We ordered their a la carte buffet. RM48++ for each person. Ouch!! At least it's from our own salary. And at least we can try all their dishes. Me and Joo stayed there for a long long time (from 7-10pm) eating and talking.

Their drinks are quite good, especially the cocktail, which is free for the lady. I took a sip, and it taste really nice. About the food there, some of them taste quite good actually, but i have only one comment: the cheaper and simpler taste better. xD Since both of us are starving at the moment, we ate at least double of a normal human's capability. For the list of food we ate, need to wait for Joo to list that out because i didn't remember the names. Haha. And also... i found out that my chopsticks skills are actually worse than Joo's. xD

Anyway, here are some of the photos i took that night. (sorry for the picture quality. my camera lousy one...)

Hihi everyone.

During these 3 months in Penang, i don't think i will be blogging as much as when i'm in KL.

Sorry about that.

OK

This will be the second time i broke my own promise. Two blog post ago, i promised myself i will not be blogging until my exam is over. But now, see what happened...

While i'm lazy to continue my revision, i decided to write a post about my very own treat list. My treat list consist of It's an extreme and spectacular mix of EVERYTHING i want/i'm dreaming to have/do one day. Here it is:

MY TOP 5 TREAT LIST

No.1 A Trip To Space

You didn't see it wrong. It's SPACE. Usually, people will be very satisfy if they had traveled around the world, looking around various places on Earth. But i'm not. I will not be satisfy until i travel to space, at least once. From landing at moon, dock into the space station, or just orbiting the Earth in a rocket, i will be satisfy, as long as i'm in space.

There are 2 reasons behind this.
Reason 1: I want to experience what it's like to be weightless. After so many years living on Earth with a constant need of supporting my own weight plus that ever so damn heavy school bag, i want to feel what it's like to be floating in the air, virtually just flying around. That will be so so fun.Reason 2: I want to see the whole mother Earth with my own eyes. I want to see it directly from the space. I want to see the beauty of this shear giant as a whole. I want to see the line of light that separates the Earth's day and night. I want to see the clouds covering the Earth from the top. I even want to observe the Earth's change in time if possible.

Everyone can travel to space by 2 methods. One is by a rocket, one is by space shuttle. But before that, i'm going to need at least 8 months of intense physical and psychological training before i will be allowed to go to space. That is if i'm fit enough. Besides that, i will also need to learn about the simple controls in the spacecraft i'm travelling in.

This trip will be an expensive one. I will need to spend tens of millons of dollars just to be in space for like one week and a half. This treat also includes a great deal of risk. But anyhow, this treat will always be my first in the list.

No.2 An Fully Furnished A380 Aircraft

Since i'm a child, i always dream of taking a big vehicle, fit it with the finest household interior, and transform the vehicle into a mobile home, where i can travel in it, without leaving the comfort of home. But now since i'm talking about treating myself, without the financial boundaries, i will be talking big. Very big indeed.

What i've been thinking of treating myself is a A380 jet airliner, with my own logo on it ofcourse, with the furnished interior equivalent or better than the Air Force One.I know. That's crazy. Totally crazy!! haha xD
But it's possible.

Here are some sample design that suits me quite well.

There is only one reason why i want to treat myself with this. i.e. I can travel to anyway (with my family and friends) while enjoying the comfort of this 3 story 73m long and 7m wide airborne home. I might not be able to enjoy the comfort a lot though, because i will be in the cockpit flying the plane. haha. That's my ambition when i was young.

No.3 A Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti Veyron is my dream car, and so definately will be in my Top 5 Treat List. Here's a picture of it.

Cool isn't it.

Bugatti Veyron is a car developed by Volkswagen. It starts production by year 2005. When i first saw it on Top Gear Malaysia sometime in 2006, i fall in love with this car straight away. Just look at the curve of the car, the streamline shape of the car. It's design, it's so beautiful.

But i'm not falling in love with it just by it's shear beauty, but also it's performance. The car holds an 8L W16 engine, which makes the car the fastest commercially available car in the world by having an average top speed of 408km/h. It also has an 0-100km/h time of 2.5 seconds. Besides that, the whole car has hydraulics that lowers the car to 12cm from the road surface, and extending a hidden rear spoiler while the car reaches the speed of 220km/h.

I've been thinking of driving that car at full speed down the full length of Malaysia's North South highway, but i will never get to do that. This is because the car will use up it's full tank of fuel in just 12 minutes while running at full speed. And the car's maintainance is also at an staggering amount each year.

But despite that, it will still be an honour for me to own that car.

No.4 Learn Magic Tricks

This treat is really unusual. I want to learn magic tricks. I want to treat myself by joining magician schools, learning magic tricks. And hopefully i will become as good as David Blaine or Cyril Takayama.

I always want to impress people using magic tricks. I have been interested in this since i was young. I remembered i always trying to find out the truth of a trick everytime after i watched a magic show, and eventually, i found out some.

It's alway very satisfying when someone watch you perform a magic trick closely, and listening someone say "Wow! How do you do that?!" or "Wow! That's so so cool!!" after you finish performing. I still remembered a few years ago when i found out the secret of the self levitating trick and i performed in front of my cousins, their reaction is like *shocked*. haha. Well, that's the most satisfying moment so far.

And i really hope this treat will help bring me more satisfaction than just that.

No.5 A Dell Inspiron 13 Laptop (the most realistic treat of all)

My very last but important treat will be having a Dell Inspiron 13 Laptop.

I'm currently in a search for a laptop to replace my currently-using one, which is getting slower and slower. I found Dell Inspiron 13 Laptop perfectly suits my purpose because of these few reasons.

Reason 1: Outer Beauty
As you can see, from the name, Inspiron 13 is designed to inspire. It has round edges and clean lines, which makes the laptop looks more beautiful. It also comes in 3 colours, which is the Alpine White, Obsidian Black and Cherry Red, although i it will be most likely that i choose the Obsidian Black.

Reason 2: Always Connected
It's important nowadays to be able to stay connected throughout the world, and Inspiron 13 will help us to achieve that. The Inspron 13 comes with Dell Webcam Center which allow us to visually communicate with friends and family with relative ease. And this function is further enchanced by the Enchanced Wireless connectivity that supports up to 802.11n.

Reason 3: Wide Vivid Display

The Inspiron 13 has a 13.3 inch Hi-def screen, with a 1366 x 768 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. This means that i will never have to squint or lean up close to the screen.

Reason 4: Hi-def ExperienceThe Inspiron 13 comes with an option of adding an ATI Radeon HD 4330 graphic card. And i can and will get a cinematic experience by just hook up to a LCD TV by using the one-cord HDMI connection.

Reason 5: Portable Power
Inspiron 13 uses INTEL Centrino 2 processor technology that lets me multitask at a different level besides providing 50% more performance.

Reason 6: Light & Thin
Inspiron 13 Laptop weighs in at only 2.23kg. It's also thin enough to let me put into my school bag along with text books and at the same time doesn't make my bag looks to big. That makes me easier to take it around.

So this concludes my Top 5 Treat List.

Thanks for reading this long post.

That's it.

明天就开始考试了。我现在却有点心事重重。。。

在过去的一个月里面，我看着两个我认识的人相续去世。。。

一个，是在大约两个礼拜前。一个，就在昨天。。。

郑丽真老师，是我小四至小六的班主任。相信大多数我那年代读协和小学的学生都知道他。
他是一个十分尽责，十分严肃，十分好的老师，只是在惩罚学生时太过分了些。我那个时候，满不喜欢，满恨他的。我还曾经咒过他死。
直到我进中学后，我才发觉他是一个难得的好老师。。。
两个礼拜前从facebook接到他去世的消息时，心里满不好受的。。。

昨天晚上，我上thestar.com.my看新闻时，不留心的打开一则拉曼大学学生嬉水失踪的新闻，却看见其中一个主角是自己的朋友，有点不相信，有点吃惊，有点不想接受。。。
过后在facebook看见他的profile的祝福语时，才开始接受了事实。。。
许元凯，是我小学和中学时满要好的朋友。毕业后，变得没什么联络。
可是朋友就是朋友嘛。他这样突然走了，自然有种悲从中来的感觉。。。

一天过去了。我也该看开些了。学我的朋友说的：“死后可以上天堂看 Michael Jackson 的演唱会”。
的确，人死而不能复生。我也不能做什么。。。

安息吧！





我能做的，确保我不会带这种心情上考场就对了。

After not blogging for about 10 days, I'm back in front of the computer, typing...

But this post will be the last one until I finish my final exam this year, i.e. until 13th November 2009.

During the weekends, my parents and grandparents came to KL for 3 purposes.
1) visit me
2) visit my grandma's brother who is currently in hospital because of lung cancer
3) move things out of my uncle's house before returning the house to the owner

They just went back. So, starting from tomorrow, with no one and nothing to bother me, i really need to get started. Yea... i not yet start studying for my coming final exam until now. That's how bad i'm. haha.

I will also not be opening my MSN for a long time straight, unless i have something to ask someone. If anything, can message me through facebook, or my blog, or sms, or just send me an e-mail.

Well, that's all. Will be back in 3 weeks time.

Monday, 19th October 2009, during Dr. Shek's class from 4-6pm.

I know i should post this post before i post the post just now, but since I'm like posting a few post on the same time, so the order will be off. Hope you all don't mind that.

Newspaper is very very popular on this day. There's only one reason for that: to reduce the boringness on Dr. Shek's lecture.

Here are some photos i've taken.

Want to know what they are looking at?

Answer: They are playing a game published in the newspaper, which wants you to spot something from a picture. In this case, is spiders and squirrels.

Unluckily, i didn't take a photo of the game, or take the newspapers home, so i can't post the picture up for you guys to try it. Sorry about that.

End up, most of us, including me is spoting the animals rather than listen to the lecture. xD

I eventually found those 2 animals with some help from my friends.

Thursday, 22nd October 2009.

This is the last day me and my teammates will be touching our 10 weeks hard worked TRC2000 2nd year project, the Raw Material Inspection System (RMIS). Here's a photo of that thing.
It doesn't look pretty, but at least, it works. It has the highest production rate among the groups in the same class =)

I have a good time presenting my part in front of my classmates and my supervisor that day. Didn't really get nervous, but my tongue still get twisted for quite a lot of times. But anyway, glad to know that our group get the highest total mark!!

Special thanks to:
1) TAN CHEE WEI (leader)
2) NG VERN YEOW
3) JOCIEN TAN XIAN MING
4) LEE ZHEN EE
for helping me and the group achieve this mark.

During the process:-
- Chee Wei: still acts so gay-ly
- Zhen Ee: gained another 2 nicknames (Doraemon, Stripper)

Here are 2 photos taken after the demo. I didn't manage to take any photos of any one of us presenting. Sorry about that.
