Buffetting : Random Outing

This was really long time thing, like last Saturday.

Clayden if you are reading this place was where I got bloated with crabs~

It was really random, because we were suppose to have Kim Gary or something after badminton that night, in the end the parents suddenly suggested for a crab session somewhere in Terminal 2, named South Sea Seafood Restaurant.


Starters! Grilled Seasoned Squid.

Definitely a must ordered. I didn't get my hands on the menu that day, but the cook was good enough to preserve the original breezy aroma of the dish by itself.
Next in line! Clams simmered in tinge rice wine.

I'm not sure if they added sugar, but there shouldn't be any because it was all natural sweety seafood essence I tasted.
Fibre in line: Plain ol' kailan with garlic.

Emily could have done better. The bitter sensation wasn't gotten rid off in the stem, big discount on the dish itself.


Next: Fried yam with variant stuffing.

This is a normal dish in weddings, and ooo lala their yam was real soft and supple! Too bad I was busy attacking other food and getting stuffed, didn't got much vivid memory of the dish. The only thing was the yam definitely hit the spot! Thumbs up for yam!


What's the point of ordering good crab dished without Mantao(buns)???? Loved the buns! Soft in with crisp out, with a natural sweetness of the flour. Recommend!

Now for CRABS CRABS CRABS!!!
Sour and Spicy Stir Fry! It was good as starters, but if you are trying to finish it when you are full, it gets a lil overwhelming.


Can you see the eggs in the head? Cholesterol cholesterol!


2nd, Salted egg fry. Personal favorite.

But I think they over added the sugar, definitely a bad diet over a long time. IT was really good, but lessening the sugar should do the trick to perfection.

There was a patin fish and kam heong fry for the crab, but I didn't manage to snap any because before I took any action, they were already in sea of digesting hydrochloric acid.

The patin was good, but again, the cook over added the sugar in the soy sauce. Fresh and oozing with natural fish oil, great choice as the fish fitter.

Kam heong, well, I have eaten better ones. Should have gotten butter fry instead.

Pricing wise, well seeing the service was really good, inclusive of the great ambiance, despite the fact that it was a seafood restaurant which was situated near the airport( irony of air to marine) they got the whole place set up like a Fisherman village,if you minus the constant buzz of airplane take offs.

The crabs were RM38 per piece, kinda regretted we didn't choose them ourselves.
Totaled bill inclusive of service and government tax charges was RM500.

Well, we order 6 pieces of crabs, so at least half of bill was for the crabs only.

Spending on food like that once in a while won't harm, much no?

Look at their peeing spot! So cute! But I felt a lil over exposed, even towards the fishes XD Bet they thought my dick was like some food. Oversized one XD
Look this place is so good Siti Nurhaliza visited! * Kasian cannot take the crabs*

Good place to go, definitely going there some time again with someone else. But I have do get enough cash first.


Next outing was planned to be SPIDER CRAB. Wonder when would it be?

Buffetting : Japalore 2



Well, as far as I'm concern, the tsunami and radiation leakage in Japan didn't even stirred once in my head when I was applying for the Japanese Government Scholarship.

Seriously, it's not like I'm THAT good till I can enter Tokyo Imperial University for medicine even if I got the scholarship.

I'd probably end up in Kyoto University or some lower tiered ones.

Anyway, this is the second time I head out t SMJK Confucius in Lorong Hang Jebat forthe examination.

And this time, I DROVE THERE~

Somehow I have this good sense of direction.

Although I did seek for my parents' help is getting direction to the school, but the direction somehow went off radar when I took the U-turn at the roundabout beside Masjid Negara.

Yet, smarty pants me with desperatomones somehow triggered myself that Jalan Loke Yew and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lok is the way, and viola~ I'm there.

Lucky~*whistle*

About the exam, so so.

Biology and Chemistry was manageable, the only thing which I don't know probably is the one which I never seen in my life before

Mathematics was forever suckily sucky, so no comment there. Thank goodness I managed to answer at least 70% of the questions.

English was so so, finished it in 30 minutes' time, proving its simplicity.

Japanese was a major headache literally, with all the tiny kanas plus the insufficient sleep in the night before, the whole pain was magnified like 100 times.

Overall, the one hour stipulated for Bio and Chem was just nice, in which I didn't had time to recheck everything. But I managed to finish 99% of the questions.

Mathematics, well, screw it.

I'd really hope I get to the interview this time, everything felt like a breeze for the whole day, minus the fact that I couldn't sleep whole night for pete knows reasons.

At least I can finally leave the house to a FAR FAR place.

Yet, thinking too much might just backfire.

Owh well, lets hope for the best.

PS: Keith if you are reading I've added you in my blog roll! Lets get closer from now on!

Buffetting : Stepping out



I think I somehow managed build up this barrier, or rather a negative mentality in which I can live without anyone around me. It's weird in the sense that it just pop out of nowhere in my head when I know someone, or I will be doing something alone.


it's okay, it has always and will continue to be like that anyway. I've been through this far alone.

It is definitely not a good thought to emerge, especially when I actually longed for an active social life in the future.

Well, I guess making friends and meeting out is still okay.

But other than that, well I can and should do everything else alone.

Wonder when will I actually step out of this barrier bubble.

*sigh* I don't know. Sometimes I just feel like I'm one misplaced chess piece.

No matter what step I take next, I still do not belong there, and will be eventually eliminated soon.

Let's not let these trivial thoughts get into the gym regime should we?

Buffetting : Rec

Think what you think but this is a much more permanent and convenient way to record my body check regime.

17/5/2011

Total Body Water % : 60.9%
Muscle mass: 73.8kg
Physique Rating: 6
Fat %: 16.9%
Bone Mass: 4.0kg
Visceral fat rating : 9
Metabolic age: 17

25/5/2011


Total Body Water % : 62.8%( up by 2%)
Muscle mass: 76.5kg( up by 2.7kg)
Physique Rating: 6(same)
Fat %: 14.2%(down up 2.7%)
Bone Mass: 4.1kg( up by0.1kg)
Visceral fat rating : 9(same)
Metabolic age: 16( down by 1 year)


Pretty much an improvement, but it should never stop here.

Somehow I still ain't able to lose the blob around the waist, time to hit more yogurt, have been a lil lazy to whip them up lately.

Weird, my bone mass actually increased by 100g, do i still have the ability to grow??!!! Yes yes taller means longer look which is = less roundification!

What ever, call me a freak but this is how I rock~

Buffetting : Choices 3





Well, I think I'm one fickle-minded son of a bitch.

1st was the country, 2nd was the universities in Malaysia, now the course itself.

Fucked up would be the term comes into mind naturally.

Talked to Clayden the other day about taking an alternative degree which is Linguistics.

Why? Well, language is the most formidable weapon! Cliche as it sounds, the tongue is always sharper than the sword.

And plus I always think that possessing multiple languages is definitely a plus point in a person's life, and definitely makes someone sexier~

The thing is I enjoy talking and yapping, and taking linguistics seemed to be logical because of the amount of time I deal with the ways and flow of a specific language.

Geez I've even started to correct my own phonetics these days, must be the long break.

So now its like Medicine and Linguistics.

I'm not sure if I should put Law or anything else into the list right now, its just that I really need an extra insurance because of the doc overdose issue.

33 medical institution churning out at least 200 doctors in a year! By the time I graduate there are already 33X200X(5+1) = you do the math.

So yes I worry ALL THE TIME, screw me again.

Its actually all about the family thing. It's like you've settled down before that you are going to take medicine, and when people asked you say" tentatively medicine" and the whole community will pin you down and expect you to treat them in 5 years time.

Earth to Community, I haven't even enroll yet. All these long holiday seemed to make it even harder to keep myself focused onto the course itself because of the amount of exposure I'm dealing with, its like SPM break all over, just that now its magnified by at least 3 times.

If someone were to be blamed it would be the family background again. Typical chinese family, cousins compared with cousins, eldest son being the top cream in the house, you name it I've probably lived it.

I just wished the local universities can release their results faster, and July lands in faster.

I'm suffocating like shit now.

Buffetting: Wesak Spirit



It's only normal for me to help out every year in the temple after all the time I've spent in practicing the Dhamma.

So, as usual, I went as volunteer again under the youth section this year.

Although I was informed that I will be helping in the health check-up section this year, which obviously will help me in getting experience about the health care, not to mention picking up some tips off the doctor on duty, I was somehow directed to the ushering division.

Meaning, ambassador duties.

It's so weird that I become so natural in dealing with crowds, but it was my really my first time being an usher in the temple, with all the adults watching you and all.

But, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of being an authority part of the event, telling people where, what to do and solving their problems and all.

As glamorous as it sounded, the whole was just crowd control and trafficking.

You know desperate people can get when it comes to waiting for their turn to get into shrine halls, and Chinese being most of the devotees in Buddhism, the desperation is elevated to a whole new level.

Woohoo Hannah Yeoh in the temple!
I mean, when you come over to offer your respect and flowers to the Buddha, do it with a sincere heart, WAIT FOR TURN PATIENTLY, DO NOT CUT LINES, and freaking DO NOT THINK YOU ARE MORE SUPERIOR THAN ANY OF OTHERS.

There are these portion of Chinese(typical ones) who just ramble ramble and ramble when we told them the first session has already commenced, just be back in 30 minutes. The whole SJBA have that many activities going like FREE FOOD, health check, movie festival, bazaar and oil lighting and all sorts. Just be back in 30 minutes!
For illustration purposes only


And there's another portion who just kept on mumbling about how they should have gone it first and all. Hello, if you ain't know anything you ain't do complain okay. Owh well, I was really reluctant to explain further anyway so let them be.

Other than these portions, the other devotees were relatively nice and I just love the way they smile back or replied when I greet them Happy Wesak Day with my biggest smile~ It just feel so RIGHT, or just pure satisfaction in seeing people replying smiles and all.

we even had Selangor's Menteri Besar in the temple! Big shot big shot~


And that was practically my job for the whole day, from 8 to 5. As boring as it sounded HERE, things were definitely more lively back in the shrine hall. It was like back in the prefect days~

Yea I have this weird tendency to get myself into jobs and weird duties so screw me.

Lets hope the Wesak spirit stays no matter if its wesak or not.

Even the dust on my feet formed a LOVE~

May you readers be well and happy always also.

Buffetting : The B&G Issue







I have to express this. I want to be back in STPM right now.

It's even more tiring to have so much more time compared to when I need to focus all my might to JUST study.

The mind tends to fly so much more, and the flight is even brought to a higher extend when you are all alone at home without anyone to talk to you*other than the siblings*


So it all comes back to the BnG thing.

IT was just a text message from S.

It seemed like S is going steady with the instructor mentioned. Going out of movies and all.

But then again, its a gym instructor. As stereotypical as it sounds, yes what else gym instructors go for their students.

You know the drill, I need not say further more.
\
Honestly speaking this is SO NONE OF MY BUSINESS. I have no idea how many freakin times I've screamed at myself.

I seriously think that its the extra time. Back in the study days I have no need to care nor spend time on these, why now.....

The worst is, I'm like younger than S, so S should be able to take care things better than I do. So seriously don't bother anymore should be the move, no?

I should probably go back to my kid's world because I am that kiddy.

Come on, time to dig back to Digimon once more.

PS: I am that "kepo" ain't I? Why should I intervene with S's relationship anyway?



Best song to express my feelings right now

Buffetting : Accident again.



Hold your thoughts, I didn't get involve in one.

My car is safe, as worn out as ever. And I'm safe, the only thing which caused the scratch on my right calf is due to my stupid car's faulty hand break.

Anyway, lets get back to what happened.

I was supposed to turn into the right lane from the junction near SS15 market.

Then you know how irresponsible and desperate people can get in order to eat, dine or have any business in SS15, so double parking is EVERYWHERE.
Blue-mine, Red-Laxus, Yellow-Biker.

And so being small Kembara driver like me, I have had to driver a lil further up to the middle of the incoming lane from the right in order to see if any car is coming.

There was this Laxus coming over, but I know I can make it if I were fast enough and I proceeded.

And the Laxus was kind enough to break, but there's this asshole again.

Motorbike.

Farking motorbike have to cut this guys lane to the right.

I mean seriously, there are cars coming over from the opposite also right? You should never cut the lane. Plus, the Laxus was already taking half of the right lane also, don't they have any brain?

And I ducked, but the bike hit the car, and the whole bumper came off from the right.

I mean theoretically I'm wrong because I should have waited. But don't the motorbike driver bare any responsibility either?

I should have just drove off like anyone else would, but my conscious(fark you conscious) told me to go back.

Negotiation happened and I called the dad.

Didn't turn out well, dad ain't willing to pay because I did not do anything to his car. IF anyone should pay its the bike driver because he banged this guy.

Actually this Laxus guy, malay, seemed to be real nice. It's such a pity he had to meet a driver like me, break his car for him, and got knocked down by the motorcyclist some more.

Officially hate all wantan motorcyclists now.

Yet, something he said also bothered me alot. He said its fine, without reporting to the police and no further actions taken.

Only people who can come back after this to hunt you down is able to say and let something go like that.

Well, I guess I think too much also, because its just my kembara plate number he can remember, and I'm changing it off too. So yea.

Whose fault do you think it was? Mine or the biker? Laxus guy definitely didn't do anything wrong. May he be well and happy always.

Buffetting : Homecooked



I was pondering on what tags should I post this on, tradition or something else?

I guess its a Chinese tradition.

Bird nest, Chicken essence, Groundnut roots, ring any bell?

Yea the typical Chinese house growth tonics.

Well, not exactly tonics, but they are like things to be cooked and watched over by the clock when somebody in the house is in convalescence, so that they get back in shape ASAP.

As for today, the parents managed to cook this:

Slow-cooked longan with herbs(pete knows what's in side) and mini red dates. Seriously I suck in English good terms Screw that, I'm a typical Chinese and I'm cool like that. Who cares if I can't express food in English? As long as they taste great.

This was supposed to increase the stamina for my sis, in this case almost everyone in the house needs it cause we are all heading for a better performance in badminton. So hopefully it helps.

Plus, its super good and sweet thanks to the chicken, not to mention super oily, felt so sinful after the pleasure. XD Sounds like one night stand, no?

Owh I kinda missed the day I need to be the house cook. It's like the perfect training ground for house husband training. I'm sure anyone who bring me home now can get like great soups every night.

Peanuts with lotus roots, ABC soup, Spinach with dates, Winter melon stir, you name it. As long as a slow cooker exist, I can make any soup~

Why am I promoting myself for someone else as a maid again?

Must be the extra free time I have at home.

Criminy.

Buffetting : Offer Letters



So yes I did mention aeons ago that I will be applying for the whole wide world.

Guess what? I've only narrowed down to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong today.

Not to mention the high-class Hong Kong University which have not replied my application till today, in which the app status online states "Under Consideration"

Ello, even Singapore have sent me my OFFER LETTERS already. Can't you just make up your mind and tell me if I've made it through or not?

Anyways, I've promised to post up on the offer letters received, so here we go:


The ones from IMU and Newcastle has been mentioned here, so lets not waste time there.

Next one to follow is National University of Singapore, which managed to offer me :

5th choice though. Went blank when I saw the words popped up in bold capital letters when I checked. I guess Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Chem Engineering is too much for me to handle in NUS. Appealing for science soon, hopefully things will turn out okay.

Next in line , Nanyang Technological University offered me:

Well, not bad I'd say. It was my 3rd choice, behind Chem Engineering, and Chem Engineering+ Business minor. I had a hunch on Singapore is trying to pull me to the business side instead of sciences. Is it a sign or something?

Owh! I forgot! My long lost dream!

The Japanese Embassy Of Malaysia dropped this too:

I swear I will write all my ref no and name properly in every single sheet to reduce my failure chances! Plus I'm like the first person to apply in Natural Science B, NSB001, ain't a number you will miss in a long shot, no?

That pretty much sums up my offers so far.

2 med school offers, 1 business school offer, and 1 architecture and design school offer( yes real estate is in this school).

Pete knows what Malaysian Universities will offer me. Another 2 months to rot before I know my verdict.
