Open up my mind to Church!

28.8.09 ( Friday)
“Will you marry me?”…This was the drama that I went for tonight..it was a special annual production from a church where one of my housemates had attended…In general, I found that the plot is quite normal but I definitely loved the music and admired the multi-talented actors…This drama was like the show “ high school musical” with songs in between the show…The actors were actually non-paid actors and they were volunteers from all over the world…they can act, they can sing (their voice were marvelous) and they can dance. One of the most memorable dance from this drama is the “moonwalk dance” from the character Jack. I thought I saw Michael Jackson dancing on the stage!it was so real that every single movement of him was exactly like MJ”S. I was so happy that I got the chance to see it live!

Besides the drama, the other thing that I noticed when I first stepped into the no-church-face church was its design. No cross on top of the building and it was not white in colour. It was more like a ball room or a cinema. These were something that made this church different from others. At first, I squinted it’s ZHEN SHI GAN, but after listening to the God Father’s explanation, I realized that It was purposely designed in this way...it reflects the church motive in putting away it’s believers opinion that church is a boring place and going to church on Friday night was like asking them to murder someone…Instead, this church want to promote and let their believers know that their God support them to use their talent to the fullness..i was quite agreed with this as I think every individual has different talent. Dancing could be their talent and we shouldn’t constrain their ability just because of other prejudies on ppl who likes to dance…

Furthermore, I was surprised to see that how Christians pray…they prayed sincerely and they pray with their fullest heart…The way they pray also surprised me…prayers were made into songs and they sang the song with full of feeling and even I, who is not a Christian can feel their streghth in believing Jesus…

No more car for me!

27.8.09 (Thursday)
The second day of experience in trying to drive to school…this was the second day and the last day of owning the car too…after today, no more car and we were returned to the beginning stage…walk to school under unbearable hot sun for 20 minutes…What had happened today until I made such a big decision?

Actually, It was like this. Since today my classmates aka housemates has only one class in the afternoon, so we decided to drive to school rather than boarding on the not-trustable van. Two and the half hours before the class commenced, we actually went to 747restaurant to have our lunch-wan tan mee…it was my suggestion but I ended up taking up one wrong road before finally made it to our destination…when I was trying to park the car in a quite small parking space, I accidentally scratched on the car on my right…not too much but just a little bit…I was shocked not panic enough to lose my mind in thinking the way of adjusting the car to a better position…I kept reversed and moved forward until suddenly, “BUffff” sound came out from the front part of my car…at first I couldn’t figured out what’s the matter but when I saw steam rising, immediately I realized that it was the temperature problem…there’s too little water in the car radiator!it was boiling until the car radiator cannot sustain the heat and burst!OMG! what to do now?i know nothing about car…find a mechanic.yeah!that’s the right thing to do now!
My forth uncle is a mechanic. So I asked for his help trough handphone and he promised to come to my plight when he had settled everything in his office. He also told me that if car radiator had burst, car couldn’t move anymore so the only way to solve it was tow the car to his workshop. While I was making the call, my friends bought the parking tickets. We bought for about 6 hours one with RM 0.60 per hour as we didn’t know what time my uncle will come to us. See! Another avoidable expenses…just two days ago, we got a RM 100 fine…now, money spent for parking space for nothing and don’t forget we still had payment for car repair work…

Although we had a lot of economy problems now, we still need to take our lunch. We took wan tan mee for lunch but my mood was totally down at that time. Why can so many bad things happen just after I got the car?first saman, second key problem, third car radiator problem. I just get the car for 5 days and what I had experienced was things that a 5-year driving experience man had gone through. When I told my dad about it, I though I would get scolded. Instead, he offered me another new car but of course, I had rejected it as I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t spoil the car…Since there’re so many problems with the car which is in its old age stage, I decided not to drive that car anymore. I even forbia to look at the car anymore.i really leave a bad impact and memories to me within a short period of time. No more car, then what are we supposed to do with the sponges and car wash liquid?see!another wastage…Just because of that car, our expenses sky rocketed…what a troublesome car and what a bad day for today!

Steamboat at Tasty Pot Restaurant!

26.8.09( Wednesday)
Went for steamboat with my housemates at Tasty Pot Restaurant in Sunway city! Actually it should be BBQ Party but due to some reason, BBQ party was replaced with steamboat….Honestly, I was quite disappoint when I knew that no more BBQ Party today but at the end of the steamboat party, I found that steamboat was not too bad and it could be as good as BBQ…and luckily BBQ was cancelld as the it was raining tonight…

This party was organized by one of my housemates’ church group members…I did enjoy the food very much but nice food did have “nice” price….anyway, don’t talk about the price…just like what daddy said, don’t talk about price especially when we were talking about food because we did need food to survive no matter how expensive it was….

I think this is one of the most tantalizing steamboat that I had tasted before…two pots of steamboat with three different flavours of soups in each pot ( tom yam, curry and chicken soups & super spicy soup, soy beans and herbal soups)…this was something that I had never tried on before…Besides, the food serving system of this restaurant was different from the restaurant that I used to go…Basically, it was all self-serviced and it was like a buffet…we could take whatever ingredients that we would like to cook, ranging from seafoods, noodles, vegetables, all sorts of balls and fungus…no limitation in quantity and we could always refill them whenever we wanted to…Furthermore, there were kuih lapis, ikan bakar, “MAN TOU”, fruits and also ice-cream with three different flavours-chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Wow! That’was lots man!and I really enjoyed all the mouth-watering food!

25/8/09-an unforgettable dfay

The first day I drove to school, wow!it was really terrible….when I tried to make a U-turn and then parked the car at the roadside….booonmm.!i accidentally knocked on the divider….luckily it was just the tyre which has “kissed” the divider and not the car bumper….

After school, I went to supermarket to buy some car washing stuffs…We were so excited to clean the old car( so that it wouldn’t look that old) but our excitement was brushed off by the RM 100 saman from Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya …. RM 100.00 man! It was really a big amount for me as a student…but my housemates agreed to share the fine so it actually lessen my burden.yet, I still feel bad about it….If I never park at the roadside with yellow line and assuming that police will seldom pass by the college area, then I would not feel the pain in my pocket…

What to do, nasi sudah menjadi bubur… After the surprise from Majlis Perbandaran, surprise came!when I tried to open the car bonnet, not only the key stucked in the key entranc, I couldn’t open the bonnet too…I tried my luck by pulled out the key for many times but in vain…I tried to open the bonnet from the car back seat but there was a board blocking me from reaching the key entrance…I seek help from the security guard but he could do nothing except watching us from a place far away from us after promising us to get assistance from others….i tried to called my cousin who might have the spare key but no body picked up the phone…I called my elder bro but he said he can only arrived within a short time if only if there’s no traffic jamp…I was totally exhausted and down at that time…I can do nothing except looking at the key keep stucking in the key entrance…no key that means I couldn’t start the car…how are we going to go home?

Finally, a guy who was going to go home came to our plight…he was one of the KBU student and to be more precise, he was taking Bachalor Degree of Engineering…he used to work in a motorcycle workshop and he was familiar with nuts and screws…He was the Hero and successfully got the key out from the key entrance and he even help us to find out the reason of key stucking in the key entrance…he refused to receive any fee although he had spent his time and energy to fix the car…thanks to him and it was so lucky that we met him!

Haiz! What an awful day and I actually broke down in the end!please don’t ask me why!

How can i be so careless and absent-minded?

24/8/09 ( monday)...

today, i was supposed to have Malaysian studies test...but just before it was time for the class to commence, i received a phone call form Mr.Al and he told me that the test will only start at xx.45p.m....and he asked me to inform the class about this and they should study the note while waiting for him to enter the class...I was not very sure about the time as i can only remember the number 45....so, in order to convey the correct information to the class, i asked about the time again and he agreed with what i said, which was at 4.45pm, the test would begin....so, i just do what i was told to and that's it! After the class heard about the news, probably a good news for them, many of them zoomed out from the class with some heading to the library to study there and with some heading to the student service department to play ping pong....however, they promise to come back before 4.45p.m.

15 minutes passed....
Suddenly, Mr.Al enter the class with a rush and with a large stack of papers on his hand....at that time, i can feel that there were thousand pairs of eyes staring at me and i could see the same question in their eyes "What the hell is this?"...i was shocked too....it was one hour earlier than the time that i had informed them...Did i listen wrongly to Mr.Al message?but i did confirmed with him for a second time and he agreed that it would start on 4.45p.m.Or did he listen carefully what i had asked him just now?probably not cz he might just heard the number 45 just like me....Anyway, i would be the one to be blamed....i told them 4.45pm...the words came out from my mouth...Mr.Al would not admit that he had confirmed with me the time is 4.45pm because he might thought i said 3.45P.M....i would be in trouble!Half the class is not in yet and Mr.Al was not going to wait for them to start the exam....

I felt guilty ! i keep blaming myself to have bad listening skill and weak memory! i keep asking myself am I the one who had cause some of the classmates to late for their test...at that time, i was sure that everyone might thought that i had cheated them but i was not doing that purposely! i was not! i NEVER had that kind of bad intention! Will other trust me again in the future?will they complain about me?

Yesterday, my family members had picked me up from student house and i went cari makan together with them....i had spent a wonderful time together with them although most of the time we were busy eating. Anyway, i really appreciated that...Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!

From this trip, i had found some changes, which are good changes and something glad to say, from both of my brothers...for my elder brother, i think he is less hot-tempered now...he is more patient and considerate now compared to the last time i saw him...for my younger brother, i can feel that he has much food appetite in comparison to last time...he could finish a plate or a bowl of noodles within a shorter time, which is something that he could hardly did in the past...he also ate more rice and he even asked for more rice after finish eating one large bowl of it....Besides that, he is no longer always in his own game world when he followed us for shopping...He participated in whatever activities that we were doing and he talked much about the activities rather than just games....

Overall, i am happy to be together with them...and i really enjoyed the trip even though it was a not-more-than-24-hours trip....and I also look forward to another one of it in the future!thanks! thanks! thanks!

...you're my HERO !

...you're my hero!don't be fooled by this post title...not the hero in my life but the hero in the incident that occured today in my room...

I accidentally locked my locker key in my own locker...spare key was put together with the bunch of keys that i used to bring along whenever i go.(it's not consider a spare key, actually, since i didn't seperate it from the key that i always use)...hehe!i tried to break my hair pin into two so that i can used them to open the lock but in vain....i tried to used the pointed end of the compass but not suceed...my roomates even tried to use their key to open it but there was still no sign of success...

Eventually, one of my brilliant roomates try her luck by inserting my other roomates key partially into the opening of the key and one turn, two turns, three turns....tuckkk!!!the keypad was unlocked! huhu!Finally!you're my HERO !

KIWI Queen...do you know how do i get this name?

From one million to one million and to alien, now i got another nickname given by my beloved roomate...KIWI Queen!

How do I get this name?you guys must be very curious but i bet you guys can simply just guess the answer...yea!the reason is something related to kiwi...First of all, i have been obsessed in kiwi fruit!For your information, i have been eating kiwi fruits for two weeks, which means 14days....i like its taste of sweet mixed with a bit of sour taste....But from my experience, not every kiwi fruits has sour taste....Usuallt the one which is too "old" will have less sour taste...

Secondly, it's because i have a bottle of kiwi fruit juice in refreigerator...Actually, i do not purposely brought it here from home for the reason i like kiwi but it just so happen that my mum got two bottle free kiwi fruit juices while she bought some supplement from Anway...

Last but not least, it's actually something that i discovered recently...the used a kiwi flavour shower cream...hehe!i accidentally found out about it when i was taking bath two days ago...hehe!

As i have this nickname, my roomates even sugggest to buy me a kiwi patung for my birthday present!is there such a thing in the market?i think i have never seen it before but if i take the initiative to create one, probably there'd be one...kiwi patung with its body seperated into half to reveal its greenish flesh and black seeds AND i might want to add in a spoon!wow!that's delicious!

TWO FOOLISH thing i did today...hehe

Have you ever heard people cook steam eggs without adding any drops of water into the it?that's me who did this intelligent work...i wanna cook steam eggs as one burger for lunch was really not enough for me....since there were 8 ppl taking lunch at home today, so i mixed 4 eggs into a stainless steel container to be steamed in a rice cooker later.... at first i though it would be enough but i t ended up not even covered half of the container...i felt weird about it because that is not what i usually see at home when my mum prepares for the steam egg...However, i never thought of adding water into it....Instead, i added in more eggs. so i had actually mixed 6 eggs to cook steam egg which is supposed to be enough for 8 ppl servings but ended up only adequate for 3 ppl....hehe!i will take this as a lesson!

Haha! the second foolish thing that i had done today was putting on face mask! Listen carefully, not the face mask to prevent H1N1 but the facial mask....This was my first time of using facial mask, so i was a bit excited and i was pretty clumsy when i was putting the facial mask on my face....i was laughing from the time i cracked open the facial mask packing until i eventually lie on the bed...the facial mask was very slippery and sticky....i found that it was going to slip off from my hand when i was trying to unfold the mask...Besides that, i couldn't put it properly on my face...the part for my eyelids was actually covering the bottom part of my eyes...if there's no assistance given by my roomates, i think i would take more than 10 minutes to make sure the mask was fit on my face....seeing my clumsiness and excitement in putting on the mask, my roomates couldn't stop but continue to laugh just like me....it's a nice experience and i didn't really care to show my clumsiness in putting on mask for the first time to my roomates...

talking about the facial mask, i would like to thank my cousin ah sok for giving it to me...i never thought that i would have the chance to do some facial at this place far away from my hometown...thank you very much and i appreciate the help you always give to me and our other cousins even though you are not rich....thank you!i would probably leave the other one facial mask for my mum to try on it....

going to own a CAR ....

I am going to own a car.......but Listen carefully, it's an extremely old car with probabaly, 3 persons being the owner of this car before--my two cousins who had already started working and with one who had already two children's mum and my aunty....

Anyway, i am not going to complain about this car....It's aged maybe with not-so-efficient engine but i belief that it will bring about a lot of convenient for me and my housemates, but of course just for the short distance "travelling"...driving to college and 1U, Tesco, The Curve is better than walking for 30 minutes to those places under unbearable scorching sun....

Actually, my cousin promised to bring that car to me by tonight but he couldn't make it for certain reason but i am doubting what could be his reason because when i msg him after waiting for his call for too long, he replied with the reason that he was actually waiting for my call too...i thought i said when he wanna come to my house, please call me....i thought he was supposed to be the one who call me and not waiting for my call....

Yea, i am here to tell you i was actually quite dissapointed when i know he was not coming tonight...this means i won't be getting the car tonight too...and the main reason that i felt upset was i have to wait for 7 days more to actually see the old but useful car...However, i am not going to blame him.....

Funny mum of my friend...

here, i would like to share an interesting and comical mother of one of my roomates that i had come across...

1st situation:
my friend: mum, i have just come back from school...bbyyyy walking....do you know how long it takes?tweeenty minutes, you know!
Mum : oh ! then your shoes will sure be wear off very easily !
(usually we will expect our mum to say that " then you must be very tired now! ")

2nd situation:
my friend: mum, today do you know how i come back from school?boys fetch my friends and i back...
Mum : booooys?how do they fetch you back?i mean by what?bicycle?

3rd situation:
my friend:mummy, jie jie fell into the longkang....
mum : what?feel into the longkang?why did she do in the longkang?

4th situation:
My friend went home with blood on her face she fell down...
Her mother's reaction was "girl!what happen to you?why your face full with blood?how are you going to take part in the miss world competition in the future?"

After reading it, how do you feel?

2ns time of cooking experience...almost become expert!

Actually i should post about this yesterday but it's all the wireless fault!i could go online but i couldn't assess to any of the website except www.msn.com!

Yesterday afternoon and night, my roomate and I were the one who in charged of the lunch and dinner!our menu for yesterday lunch was fish porridge....frankly, both of us really seldom or to be more accurate, should be never cook before at home....before started cooking, i had inquired my mum on the steps to prepare fish porridge!i think i should just skip the process because nothing special happen...no inccindent! no injury!i belief that you guys will be more interested in the result....

Surprisingly, we had made it very well....The texture was just ok...not too soft, not too hard, just nice to be eaten and no one will choke on it....the taste is not too bad!just like what i used to eat at home....but for the amount part, due to our low estimation skill, we cook too much porridge but luckily, one of my roomates was willing to finish it up....oh ya!forget to tell you guys!when we were ccoking, our house cleaner came and she asked for recipe from us!wow!we were in the cloud nine but eventually, we didn't give her the recipe and she didn't asked for it again too...

For dinner, we cook rice, chicken+potatp+mushroom and seaweed soup+egg....wow!we both were really satisfied with our presentation....they were extremely delicious and one of the housemates even feel regret for not joining us for dinner!haha!padan muka!just joking....
