Final sem

Arghhhhh....tomoro is new year eve, i know...but most important is tomoro will be 1st day of my final sem in UM. so unbelievable!!!

I still remembered haluansiswa in 12th college...crazy one week, tortured by seniors but i was still getting fun and knew uni best fren until now!! walking in the 12th college "beautiful" and stingy lake then "swimming" on the freezing cold hall floor ...so unforgettable...

haiz...time flies...here I am! Final year final sem. That's wat I dreamt of when I was in 1st sem, alwayz wanna become final year student. But now...blah blah blah...that's human nature. never satisfied what we have now, alwayz dream of sth.

Uni life is much exciting than I thought. However, there are so many things that I haven't tried. I sure will fully use my final sem time to try it all. I still haven't thouroughly discover KL...I muz find out all interesting stuff behind KL!!=)

Fresh start tomoro, I hope so. Thesis is waiting for me and there'll b mid term presentation on next thursday. I guess final sem will not b as enjoyable as before.

Home - Chris Daughtry

I'm a fans of American Idol. For those AI fans, sure u guys know who is Chris Daughtry from AI5...

I didn't really like the way he sang in the beginning of AI, but I'm touched when he sang "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman"...When I started enjoy his performance, he was shockingly voted off by America.

But soon, he came out with an album. And, this song - Home is my all time favourite. Today, I found this song has gone missing from my song list, so I download it again and listening to it again n again...This song really...Amazing!! The lyrics really meaningful and touching...

"Home"
Artist: Chris Daughtry

I'm staring out into the night,trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain

Well I'm going home,Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home

The miles are getting longer, it seems,The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love, it makes true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try

So I'm going home,Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.I'm going home.

Kids

For the past two weeks, I have been worked in two children camps! One is on last thursday at IBM centre (especially for IBM employees' children) and the other one is on yesterday at National Science Centre.

The fun camps is organized by Mad Science. This program is brought from Canada and they have more than 60 different topics and stuffs all from Canada. The program main objective is to help children in learning science theories and build interest of science in them.

I really had very very long time din working with kids liao...so this job is kinda challenging for me in the beginning. First, I'm not really good in handling kids and secondly, all the kids there are from international school or from rich rich family, some of their english even much better than me...sweating...

But, somehow they still kids...haha!! I still can teach them science.

Kids nowadays really much different from kids at old times like me. They have really good science basic knowledge even in small age. And, they like to throw bunch of questions to instructor and assistants! Some questions have made us shocked for a second and try to figure out how to answer it well and make them stop questioning same thing again and again...sweating *2...

However, learning with kids really fun la!! Can play some little games with them and all the childhood's sweet memories suddenly flash back in my mind...

Hopefully I have more chances to be part-timer in this type of children's program in future lo.=)

Batu Caves + Kepong + Selayang

Last saturday, we departed for Batu Caves in early morning. Planned to go at 7am, but u know the bed is so comfort and the air is so cool...we slept until 6.45am...so at last we departed at about 7.45am...

It's my 1st time visit to Batu Caves. For this tourist's spot, WWC became our tour guide.

We climbed total of 242 stair cases to reach the top.

Many Hindu God inside Batu Caves, sorry that I did not recognize any of them.

And, not forgotten the active monkeys jumping here and there. Ppl who with plastic bags should never go near to the monkeys, bcoz the monkeys will jump to ur body to stole ur plastic bag...

After leaving Batu Caves, we went to Selayang to meet Happy then went to Kepong to eat the famous Kepong Crab.

crab-har mee...


Then, there is no where else to go. Finally, we went to Selayang Mall. (the mall that not much ppl wanna shop). Walk and walk...end up with bored and tired...At last, we decided to say "ciao!" to each other and heading home...haha!!

X'mas is coming...

Secret Recipe Day

10th December 2007 is 10th anniversary of Secret Recipe. They have special offer in 10 outlets at KL, Shah Alam and Putrajaya!! Buy one whole cake, get another one for FREE!!! walao eh, it's really crazy!! (for cake lover like me!!)

So, in early morning, I decided to go to join all cake lovers!!

At 9am, I go to Secret Recipe outlet at SS2 with Alex, WWC and Zying. Luckily, we come 1 hour earlier (they starts selling at 10am). We still considered at the front of the queue, about 20ppl in front of us. After that, more and more ppl join the queue...at about 9.30am, the queue alredy reach next block!! For sure, this is very rare scene, so some ppl starts to take out their camera and take photos...

Finally, it's 10am!! The crowd starts going insane!! Many ppl who comes late, feel that they dun have a chance to get the cake, starts playing dirty...they start by forming another queue...then, all of a sudden, a "Secret" agent uncle show up and scold all these dirty ppl, take up one by one who cut the queue!! really "sweating..."...

So many scenerios happen...some aunties want the cake so badly that they could do anything!! Some pretend to be ur fren and ask to queue at ur front, some offer extra money for u to buy her a cake!! Some even grab a baby and wanna cut the queue...These ppl could do anything jz wanna getting a ...cake!!

look at the queue at our back...

After sticking our bodies together without letting any person "cut" between us, we successfully get our cake-- the famous marble cheese cake and chocolate indulgence cake!!

yummy!!!!

With two super size pieces of cake, I didn't eat anything until midnite!! really amazing!! What's more I can say?? I love cake, I love Secret Recipe!!=)

when dream is dream

jz cam back from trip to Batu Caves...so tired! The Batu Caves trip will b updated later when i have all the photos...

This post I wanna talk about singing. I like to sing since I were small, but never took part in any singing competition la, jz sing for syok only. For sure, I love singing in ktv, can jump, sing, scream and whatever!!

I have been told by one of my frens that she will take part in audition of Project Superstar season 3 at The Mines this sunday. So, some frens and I went to ktv sing k for practicing with her on wednesday. We sang for 5 hours. And, guess what? I feel like may b I can give a try on this sunday!!

Yesterday, my fren wanna practice again!! So, we went to same KTV once again bcoz the cost there is so low, RM 5++ can sing from 2-7pm. We sing and sing and sing...since there is no so many customer, so we can continue to sing after 7pm. We keep singing n singing ...until 9pm!! That means we sang for 7hours!! (another record achieved, yeah!!)

But, joy sometimes end up with pain...my throat starts to aching after that crazy 7-hours singing. I think the main cause is the song I sang...I sang my favourite Eason's song - "Fau Kua" twice yesterday!! I scream like I met Britney, everyone jz stare on me. But the song is so greaaaat, so I jz enjoy singing until the last second of that song. And it paid...Today, my sore throat getting worse and worse.

For tomorrow's audition, most probably I can't go liao. How am I going to sing with the condition like this? I thought this audition is an opportunity for me to try different stuff. I like to try things that is new to me.

But, for this case, may b I should give up. There is alwayz nice to have a dream. And, we should realize that the dream is dream.

wet wet wet

After one shiny super HOT week, today starts raining...and rained for whole day...

The torturing hot sun still in my head, the rain comes in a sudden when I woke up this morning.

When the unbearably hot sun in the sky, ppl dare not to hanging out bcoz afraid suffered from heat stress. However, in a 24 hours continuous rainy day, ppl hate to go out too!!

haiz...why weather in Malaysia so extreme?

I should be get used to it well alredy, but I guess I'm not. Who do?

McD-ing @ midnite

In this week, I had my supper with frens and housemates at McD 3 times alredy!! Since supper at mamak has became an ordinary gathering/activity, we tried to make some difference!!

Actually McD is a great place to gather and chit chat for long period at midnite compare to mamak. There are several factors to support my point la! First, McD is much more clean place compared to mamak. Second, McD does not have so much smoke around me, the smoke makes me sick. Then, we do not have to care about the weather/raining, there is roof at McD!(of coz...) Last but not least, McD offer unlimited drink refilled service!! What to say? I'm Lovin' it!!!
my all time favourite...

I know I know…some might say food at McD so much calories and will badly effect our health. However, outside food at everywhere is same la!!

McD seems can provide nice and comfortable place to midnite hang-outers, but it may not suit certain people, like football lovers! I still will go to mamak to watch big football match, even during rainy nite!! The mamak environment make people can shout, jump and do whatever they like when watching football match, nobody cares!! In this case, I'll say “I'm Lovin' it” to mamak stall as well!!hehe!!

在云的顶端

很久没有去云顶了，这次趁着考完试，跟系友浩浩荡荡跑去云顶玩。

经过了一个星期连续考4张试卷的折腾，大家虽然疲惫不堪，但是一抵达云顶，还是摆出最yeng的“浦士”来“影像”！！

到达不久，因为还没到check in的时间，能够做什么呢？当然冲进outdoor theme park玩几轮先！！
但是，因为肚子饿又没有钱买高消费的theme park食物，玩了spinner和海盗船后，我开始感到昏眩了。。。很烂！！不能顶，就拿出我带上山唯一的面包吃了。。。

玩倦了，不知不觉到了午餐时间。大家一窝蜂就冲去第一世界酒店一间已经租好的房间，我们的午餐是。。。从山下带上来的经济炒面，炒饭和味道比较丰富的。。。杯面！！
因为First world那活动空间十分有限的房间根本无法容纳我们17 人，我就去登记，拿多一间房。酒店lobby好像机场那么壮观，因为是学校假期，整个lobby人山人海，够夸！！没有办法，这是全世界最多房间的酒店，也是云顶最廉宜的酒店。

等了2个小时后，才成功登记。显掉！！算是休息完毕后，我们一伙人再次出游。原本想再去theme park玩，外头竟然下起绵绵细雨，误打误撞我们闯进台湾偶像歌手，唐禹哲的签唱会。反正免费入场，加上我们需要避雨的地方，就跑进去看看咯！！

到了晚上，晚餐是云顶出名经济的。。。KFC快餐。

过后，大家都想去云顶最热闹的必游之地，赌场见识见识，顺便碰碰运气。里面人头多不说，各种各样的人都有。每人都聚精会神，仿佛用毕生的学识加上常识，来估计下一盘会开什么！！

走走看看后，我打算拿小本出来玩一玩。跟Alex一起玩大小，一开始的时候，还算可以猜测和估计，过后越来越模糊了。不懂是自己眼睛累了，还是云顶使招，让人捉摸不定。当我开始失去方向的时候，遇到“高人”阿彩的指点，原来赌博的方式并不是只有靠估计，可以靠其他人的“运”。当发现在座有人连输几盘，必须把握机会，因为这个人正走着“衰运”，只要赌他的另一方，就肯定赢钱！！嘻嘻！！

这是第一次真正在赌场玩钱，当中的兴奋一定有。四个多小时，就好像在人生中走了好几回，有几次跌到谷底，然后再爬起来，过后再跌，再起。。。好累！！虽然说在等待开盘的时候，那种期待带来很多快感，也对心脏造成一定的负担。这是一个经验，我印证了小赌真的可以怡情！！

云顶之旅，在毫无计划下举行，也在无声无息下结束。大家很疲惫，可能睡得不好（first world 的房间，很难睡得好），不过相信这依然会成为很不错的回忆。

灯续光明

冲凉房的灯泡已经坏了一个星期多，因为人人都在忙着准备考试，都不去管它。。。每天晚上摸黑的洗澡，从一开始的不安到渐渐习惯了。

摸黑洗澡，必然造成一些不安。可能看太多恐怖电影。在恐怖电影里，冲凉房是重要的地点之一。在没有灯光下洗澡，你的疑心会不知不觉变得很重，总是觉得好像不只你一个人。。。当然，没有灯光的照亮下，你无法真正清洗自己的身体，可能有些地方洗不干净，你没有察觉。（不需要说得那么仔细，大家心里有数，不过也有某些“闪电洗澡”的人，冲凉速度超级快，干不干净对他们并不重要。）

这种洗澡方式在落后的村落或一些没有电流供应的地方的人，当然是习惯了。摸黑洗澡了一个星期多，我也深深感受到电灯的重要性，也体会了世界上另一边的人的生活方式。但是，毕竟我现在是在吉隆坡，大马的首都，绝对不应该面对这样的状况！！

昨天晚上考完我的第一张paper，今天早上心血来潮，下定决心要解决掉这个灯泡事件。灯泡无法正常操作，往往原因有二。第一，starter坏了。第二，灯泡坏了。做了两个testing后，确定是灯泡坏了。匆匆买了新灯泡后，赶紧装了上去。装好后，按开灯switch，灯随之一亮，那个感觉超爽！！

今晚，可以如常，和其他城市人一样，在灯光充足的情况下，开心的洗澡了。。。哈哈！！

寻根@安溪

与很多大马华人一样，我的祖先来自中国。在这里，我们这一代已经是第四代了。我的太祖公从中国安溪来到南洋，然后在槟城落脚。

一直以来都很想去了解安溪这个地方。那里曾经是太祖公生活的地方。很遗憾的，我们已经和中国的亲戚没有联系了。有机会的话，一定要回去安溪一趟，遇到跟我同姓的应该就是我的亲戚了吧？哈！

在网上上到一篇关于安溪的介绍：

安溪县地处闽南，置县逾千年。在漫长的历史发展长河中，安溪被称为“龙凤名区”，是全国著名的侨乡和台胞祖籍地；中国特种茶类乌龙茶的故乡，驰名中外极品名茶铁观音的发源地；福建闽南地区最主要的革命根据地之一。1985年国务院确定为首批对外开放县份。

安溪历史悠久，源远流长，人文荟萃，英才辈出。从境内考古发掘到新石器时代的文化遗址表明，沿蓝溪两岸早在4000多年前就有人类在此生息繁衍，辛勤劳作，在夏商时代已经孕育着古代文化，而且积淀相当丰富，其文化的兴起和传播，主要来自中原文化南移。唐朝至五代南唐，河南光州一带有不少名士墨客避乱前来安溪潜隐定居。南宋抗金名将刘琦去世后谥吴王，葬在参内乡圆潭村。宋代理学家朱熹，见安溪山水幽奇，曾题咏“清溪八景”。他们对安溪早期文化起着启迪和传播的作用。特别是唐末“未有清溪县，先有寥长官”的廖俨、五代开先县令詹敦仁率先负起布施教化重任，劝勉诱导后人读书，对安溪早期文化的开拓、发展，贡献更大。

安溪是闽南厦（门）漳（州）泉（州）金三角地带的一颗冉冉升起的明珠。近几年来，基础设施建设取得重大进展。现有公路总里程达2130.46公里，一个以省道为主动脉，县道和乡村公路纵横交错的交通网络已覆盖全县。贯穿安溪西北至东南11个乡镇总长110公里的漳（平）、泉（州）、肖（厝）铁路已通车。邮电通讯迈向现代化，程控电话，移动电话和无线寻呼，可与世界五大洲的国家和地区直接通话。

安溪县城建设成效显著，先声、龙湖、尾寮、同美、后安、城西6个小区开发初具规模，城区面积由原来0.8平方公里扩大到现在的6.8平方公里。一个以蓝溪为中轴，西门大桥、龙津大桥、颖如大桥、铭选大桥、凤城索桥、清溪大桥、仙苑大桥、蓝溪大桥、铁路桥等九座座大桥为纽带，连结沿溪两岸10多公里长的防洪大堤的安溪县城，以崭新的面貌和矫健的雄姿，展示出越来越好的投资环境。 安溪是全国著名侨乡。富有开拓创业精神的安溪人民，早在明末，邑民就开始到日本、菲律宾等国谋生。清代，安溪人带着种茶、卖茶特殊技艺和种田、经商等营生本领，到东南亚各国开拓发展。现分布在五大洲20多个国家和地区。旅居海外的安溪籍华侨、华人近80万人，尤以印度尼西亚为多，达22.3万人；次为新加坡和马来西亚，各20万人左右。安溪又是台湾同胞的主要祖籍地。从清初起，更有不少安溪人迁居台湾。安溪人定居台湾后仍保持家乡的风俗民情和宗教信仰，台湾现有的清水祖师寺庙达150多座。不少的宗祠、民居、地名与安溪一样。现在居住台湾的安溪后裔已达200多万人，超过安溪县人口一倍多。广大华侨、台胞在各居住地开拓创业，取得辉煌业绩，涌现出著名侨领林庆年、庄惠泉、刘梧桐、阿丙丁、唐裕、胡金钟；有王永庆、林挺生、许胜发、林梧桐、陈松基、林木荣、李尚大、李陆大、林生枝、钟铭选家族、罗美坚、林秀琼、陈金火家族、林天宝等举世闻名的企业家和财团。他们既为当地经济发展、福建繁荣作出巨大贡献，也为家乡的建设，兴办公益事业做出积极的贡献。在新加坡、安溪本土、马来西亚吉隆坡先后四次如开的世界安溪乡亲联谊大会，对凝聚海内外400万安溪乡亲的力量，加快安溪社会经济发展产生深刻的影响。

安溪是中国著名的茶都，也是乌龙茶的故乡。乌龙茶又名“青茶”，属半发酵茶，具有红茶的醇厚又有绿茶的清香。生产时间不同，茶树品种不同，各有不同的滋味，以安溪铁观音为代表，在一定时间里铁观音都成了乌龙茶的代名词了

乍看之下，安溪跟大马的金马伦高原有相似的地方。那里有很多茶园，甚至有以茶为主题的酒店！以下有一些安溪著名的景点：

安溪凤山茶叶大观园

皤滩古镇

清溪八景之一的阆苑岩

城东水闸桥

We all are prostitute

最近在追看美剧越狱第三季(Prison Break)，这个星期是停播一个星期后，播第五集。昨天刚刚看了第五集。

我从第一季就开始看了，当然是下载的。但是，这一季从开播到现在，都面对观众骤降的问题，甚至传闻将被抽起，永久停播。当然不希望这样悲惨的事件发生。须知道，这部电视剧在美国可能不算很红，但是在亚洲，尤其是中国，可谓是红爆的电视剧。那个下载人数和其论坛都是热到爆的！！

不过，最新一集再次出现如第一季那样的惊险场面。故事是说当MS用望远镜观察守卫的时候（他计划另一宗越狱），因为阳光反射而被发现了，差点被枪毙！最后当然没有事。

这一集出现一句我印象非常深刻的对白。当守卫闯入Sona监狱时候，T-Bag带着老大的女人，一位修女打扮的妓女躲起来。其间，妓女对自己的职业很羞耻，T-Bag对她说了这么一句话：

“In this world, we all are prostitute!”

在这世界里，我们人人都是妓女或男妓。不是吗？我们可能认为自己多么的高尚，其实有时候我们不得不背离自己的原则或出卖自己的灵魂或肉体，为了得到我们要的东西。

世界上并没有完美的人。每个人都曾为了利益和生存，不得不做一些连自己都不敢相信的事情。
