I am very ashamed{I was lost in small Ipoh Town}

Haiz, I have to say that today was just not my day. Well, in short, I was totally unlucky. It all started with my decision to fix my tooth and do scaling. My tooth had been bugging me for quite some time. It was excruciating to eat peanuts(my favourite) and ice-cream. So, today was the day to solve my tooth pain.

Well, when my mum sent me to the clinic at about 9.45 a.m., I was the 19th person already{Omg, the clinic opened only about 9 a.m.} At that time, there were about 13 person ahead of me. I was very sure that it would be a horrible long wait. After half an hour, I decided to do something else.

I was going to have a new hair cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, because the salon was near by, I just walked there. Just after minutes of arriving, they already sent a pretty girl to style my hair. Well, I could not compare this to the clinic because there were only a dentist. Before this, my hair was long, dark, smooth, and strong as if I had techique rebonding. Haha, then, why do I still want a new hair cut?

Here are the reasons:
  1. It made me look like girl! {Plus I admit that I am very soft and soft-spoken}
  2. I needed a change, something refreshing.
  3. I don't want to wait there stupidly for the dentist.

Anyway, this time, I preferred my hair very short. Then, next time, I would keep it very long and make it into lala style.{hehe, just thinking only}. After, about an hour of non-stop hair styling, I finally had my new, refreshing, and very short hairstyle. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wanna have a look?! This is my before and after!!!

Haha, sorry, guys and gals! I am still too shy to reveal my face{ Besides, I really sucks in camwhoring leh}

Okay, after that, I decided to go back to the clinic. Then, the epic began. I was totally lost as I could not find my way back to the clinic. Then, I called my mum for help:

Me : Mum, now, I am near the Bank Negara.
Mum: Haa, how did you get there? So far away.
Me : I don't know woh, I cin cai walk.
Mum: Are you sure that you are at Bank Negara. {I had a look at the signboard, before I could say anything} I think you are at Bank Simpanan.
Me : {Malu}hehe, I see wrongly.Then, how I go back there?
Mum:Aiyo, you better go to another clinic nearby.
Me : I don't want lah, I waited for so long. Now, I am at Kamdar.
Mum:Ooo, then, you look for Popular nearby and keep right.
Me :Okay, bye.

After that, I phoned my sister. She was also blurred by me. Hehe, sorry, now, I know that I am really a road idiot. Then, I was so like walking here and there until sweating like crazy. Finally, when I walked by one of the famous road, Coffin Road{whole street sells coffins}, I found my way.

Then, when I returned to the clinic, I waited for another 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, I almost want to cry at the end of the day! Then, the doctor said that I might need to return for another session to do the fillings. Haizzzzz, at that time, I don't have more hair to cut already. and hopefully, I would not lost my way again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just feel very ashamed. {I am a Ipoh Boy who got lost in Ipoh} What a day!!!!!!(> <)

WHO SAYS I WASTED MY 3 MONTHS HOLIDAY!!!

Well, today or just now, I went back to my ex-secondary school - Sam Tet, Ipoh, along with Ziyang and Kokleong. Actually, Kokleong was about to leave Malaysia and continue his studies in Canada under JPA. So, just to accompany him(okay, I also want to visit the teachers), we went to meet some of our favourite teachers.

Anyway, when we went there, nothing seemed to change, except for the new faces. We really had a fun time there. However, the teachers were quite busy. But, we were able to catch up some gossips from them.{Hehe, one of our main objectives}. Well, we chatted with Miss Ong very long until she needed to attend the class.{Non-stop gossiping of our ex-classmates of Form 5}

After that, we just let ourselves out of the school compound and continued our chatting at Ipoh Parade which was just opposite the school. Again, non-stop chatting and gossiping were involved until our big brother, Mr. Ziyang was about to leave us again. {Haiz, he is always busy}. He left me and Kokleong. Well, then, we just talked about everything until Mr Kokleong talked about I did not do anything during my 3 months holiday.

Okay, firstly, I really need to explain a lot. I told him that well, I did practice hard for my piano test. Hehe, then, he said that I got 3 months to practice and I can practice every night. {Omg, the pieces were like very...very boring and difficult and the scale was like staccato and legato} If I had practiced every single day, I would have gone nuts!!!, also not to mention that my fingers will be swollen. Therefore, I practiced my pieces every 2 days after Miss Van advised not to over-practice otherwise, I would be very irritated to play my pieces when the exam is near. I practice modestly, without hating my pieces that much{You just can't over do something or else you will get sick of doing the same thing} Anyway, this was just a little issue that came up during our conversation. At the end, I knew that I did my best and my standard was not that high, passing will do for me.

Now, back to the unofficial farewell. Haiz, Kokleong will be leaving in these few days and spending 4 years in Canada. Hopefully, he will do well and all the best to him{ I must say this to him before he leaves---------- Remember to bring more food, food is very expensive due to currency exchange} Hahaha, plus, please contact your friends here, including me with MSN or Skype because phone, sms... are too expensive. Ohh, if you have time, you can write to me too!!!{But, it will take a while to get your letters}

Kokleong, if you read this post, I hope all the best to you and may you have a safe journey to Canada and enjoy your time there!!!!



Okay, after the little farewell, I think it is time for me to tell everybody about what I did during my holiday!!!!!!!!! Otherwise, most people will just have a very bad impression me like I am lazy, fat, Otaku, guy who only loves to waste his time in front of the tv and computer all day long.{ooo, I admit that I am partially an Otaku who loves anime, but, not really obsessed}.

Firstly, for my summer holiday, I did work for 1 month. What if I did not work? Does this make me a bad person or a useless fellow? I really want to work, but, there was no transportation for me unless I worked weekend, so, I did work as a telephone operator who conducted survey on the phone for a month. After that, due to the rise of petrol, it was not really worthy for me to drive that long distant to work. Moreover, that time, I was starting my piano lesson again. Then, during this period, I praticed piano and even took swimming lesson facing my 19 years of hydrophobia. Now, I am preparing for my course to start, I did read some notes and did some paper work. Okay, maybe my life is quite dull or lack of working days, but, after my graduation, my life will be all about working, so, why not I enjoy learning something new now! I even self-learned a little bit of French and Japanese. Please don't ever judge a person by his cover or holiday!!!!


Here is my list of "What I did for My Holiday":

  1. I worked as a telephone operator conducting survey on the phone.
  2. I learned and practiced my piano, and took my piano Grade 8 practical test.
  3. I battled my 19-year of hydrophobia, and now, I am able to swim all the 4 styles{breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly syle{still a beginner} in 2 months time}
  4. I joined a hell lot of contests until I won some limited merchandises. Here
  5. I applied for JPA scholarship, currently, waiting for their reply.{This scholarship is really worth a lot more than the money I will make in this 3 months}
  6. I blogged the whole time except during my piano test, in hope of meeting some new friends, sharing my thoughts, and making little money from it.
  7. I redecorated my room in a week time with a huge change.
  8. I started a IBLOG group for promoting blogging and promoting environmental-friendliness.
  9. I self-learned basic French and Japanese{Both still in amateur stage}
  10. I went green for the environment and went red for the blood-donation. {I felt quite happy doing all these charity work.}

Okay , these were all the stuffs I did during my holiday. Maybe, they seemed like small matters; however, to me , they meant a lot. Actually, I want to say is that this is my holiday, if I have worked all the time, I might miss the chance of doing some of the most meaningful things during my holiday. So, please don't judge me because I did not work throughout my holiday! and I did worked for 3 months in a row before {Well, I worked as a part time-blogger, hopefully, you all can support my ads{haiz, really need to show people that I really did something meaningful and blogging is one of them}}

Anyway, a big thanks to Kokleong for inspiring me to write this post. Hopefully, I can explain myself that I did something quite meaningful during holiday and I blog about it!{Omg, I sound so serious in this post! I hope that I did not sound too harsh, it was just an explanation to myself} Okay, after explaining myself, I think I need to take a rest! Off to swimming lesson!!! Bye bye for now(^^)

Terminate Insomnia(> <)

Yesterday night was a long.....night. Well, all thanked to over-eating of charcoal steamboat. Well, it all started with invitation from Kok Leong who is going to leave soon. He wanted a little gathering before he leaves. So, yesterday, along with Kah Heng, we met at Ipoh Parade. Then, we just went to a steamboat restaurant - Charcoal World {please translate in Chinese(^^)}. That time, the place was packed until we had to squeeze into a very small table.After ordering, we started to grab food, materials for the steamboat. Actually, it was more like a steamboat+buffer which we could eat as much as we wanted. However, wasted food: RM 10.00 PER 100 GRAM and wasted sauce RM 5.00 PER 50 GRAM. Yup, with the average of RM23.00 per person, we did not stop ourselves from having too much.

With our gigantic appetite, we tried our best to taste all the food. As usual, there were fishballs, prawns, deer meat, pork, chicken meat, fried chicken, fried nuggets, french fries, ... and ended the feast of 12 different flavours ice-cream!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, we really had a wonderful time together and too bad, Mr. Ziyang was missing in action! Anyway, we just had fun chit-chatting, eating, laughing, and enjoying the raining atmosphere at the same time. Then, it was time to say good bye. Well, the true saga started from here.

When I reached home, I was quite full. It was only 10.30pm, so it was impossible for me to sleep at all. So , I started watching movies online. Hohoho, yup, I finished Terminator Trilogy in a night.




The Terminator(1984)
Well, after watching it, I would say it was an average classical, not like very extravagant. But, the storyline was very nice. In the first installment, Arnold Schwarzenegger{Omg, his name is so difficult to spell lah, had to check several times} was playing the role of evil robot, trying to terminate Sarah Conner played by Linda Hamilton. Kyle Reese played by Michael Biehn was also sent back in time to protect her. Well, the twist was that he was the true father of John Connor. {Oh, so scandalous and so weird!} Apart from that, the movie was directed by the James Cameron{Titanic}. With all the good elements in the movie, that was why this lead to another sequel.




Terminator 2: The Judgment Day(1991)
Omg, this sequel is superb, way better than the first movie. This was the true classical. Again, the main casts were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Edward Furlong, and Robert Patrick. This time, the characters in the movie were majorly swapped. Arnold was the good one while Robert Patrick was the evil terminator. I had to give credit to Robert Patrick's performances. He was very scary and he just gave me extreme goose bumps!!!!! While Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong were playing as The Connor Family, they were really good at it. Again , under the same director, James Cameron, the movie was an instant hit!!! Arnold's line "I'll be back" even became one of the most memorable line ever.




Terminator 3: Rise of The Machine(2003)
After so many years, here came the third installment. In this new sequel, only Arnold Schwarzenegger was the only original cast while the other main characters were either dead or played by very newcomer. Well, I had to say that the third installment did not spark like the previous due to the poor casting(my opinion). Well, the storyline was okay; however, the death of Sarah Connor due to cancer was...Anyway, it was an action-packed movie.




Terminator 4: Salvation (2009)
Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! I just can't wait. How will be movie be???? Anyway, this fourth installment's cast was all new. This time, Arnold is finally left out because he has his duty as Governor of California. Ohh, actually, I will have to say that I will miss him inside the movie because he is like the soul of the movie from the beginning. Hopefully, he will make a short appearance in the movie. Anyway, this time, the sequel seems to be very interesting because of all the new casts such as Christian Bale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yeah, finally, Terminator is making a very strong comeback after the third sequeal! I am so looking forward to it!!!!



After the saga of TERMINATOR, my insomnia and fullness were finally terminated. However, I"ll be back!!!!!!!!!
