Starwalk 2008

The annually Starwalk organized by the Star was held last 2 Sundays. This year, like every other years, we wouldn't missed the event. This year we started off with the competition group (we were in the non-competition) and we finished of earlier than years before. There were at least 10 thousands of people participated. And a lot of foreigners can be seen joining the event too. Probably because a lot of factories shut down for the weekend and they are manage to join. Although we did not get anything from the lucky draw, we will not give up and will try again next year. Looking forward... Starwalk 2009...

Trip to KL

Image
Last weekend, we (my mom, Kai Xuan, Wei Howe, Hai Hui, Michelle, David, Pei Nuan and Cher Wei) went to KL to spend our long weekend. My initial plan was to go to Sunway Lagoon. My sis and bro-in-law also went there from Singapore to meet us, mainly their son. Day 1: We started our journey at 7.45am (supposely 6.30am). Luckily it was not a sunny day and the drive to KL was a leisure rather than a hectic. We stopped at Ipoh less than 2 hours later (unpredictably fast) for have a taste of the dim sum. I have to say, the experience was not really a pleasant one because the shop was too packed and we had to fit 10 people into 1 small table. As usual, my mom does not really like the situation, rather walk further down to get a breakfast at a local coffee shop. It wasn't easy for me because I was the middle person. Anyhow, I joined my mom and nephew at the coffee shop. After our breakfast, we continued our journey to Tapah. Had a stop, bought a pack of two of preserve 'jambu batu...

Crabbing

Image
Friday night, we went to Jelutong Expressway to catch crab. We reach there around 11.15pm, start setting the traps. The bait - chicken head After setting up the traps, we went to the jetty for fishing. Sadly, we did not get anything. Around 1.30am, while we were at the jetty, YS and friends started to check if we caught anything and this is what we got... The guys then struggled with the crabs so that they are able to tie them up. In the process, ..there goes the cheliped. Finally, ...and we went back without helping the others to pack... :( Sorry YS, KH, YW and another friend. Sorry guys....

OBAMA, the new President

Image
Obama Barrack will be the history as he is the first black US president. As predicted, most countries will have changes in the political issues. As expected Obama will be the president as a lot of people will support him. News from Yahoo!News WASHINGTON – Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation's first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. "Change has come," he told a huge throng of cheering supporters. The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more. On a night for Democrats to savor, they padded their majorities in the House and Senate, and come January will control both the White House and Congress for the fir...

Free time

Image
I'm off today. A free time for myself. It felt so nice since I haven't have this kind of time for a long time. I really missed my schooling time. After school/class I would go home and have time for myself, taking nap, go for exercise, go shopping, dropped by my mom's shop and eat eat eat. But now, all I do is work work work. Even have to work overtime once in a while during weekdays and even Saturday! Looks like this Saturday I have to work again. True that I have a choice to work overtime or not but I guess I just need to get the extra income. I'm getting broke, thanks to my spending indulge. I can't seem to stop myself recently. This month alone, my credit card will charge me over 5k. Sigh. Wondering how am I suppose to pay back. Anyway, although I'm off work today, I still can't have a long sleep. Woke up at 8, have been online since then until now. I browsed Loon's blog a while before starting my writing. In his blog, he wrote that his blog viewers ...

Boring

I'm getting boring these days. I need to find something adventure to take part in. I need something new to experience. I need something exciting to keep me alive. I'm dying now. Dying slowly out of boredom. Sigh. I realize that my life have changed a lot since I was in schooling years. A LOT!! I have become someone serious, I took things too seriously. And I have become someone that I have no understanding of, someone that is totally different from my old self. I am trying to find my old self again. I want to be more active and adventurous.

Bad day ahead

Another month since my last entry. Early tomorrow morning (at 12 midnight today) the fuel price will drop by 15 cent, making the fuel price becomes RM2.30. It may be a drop but will the 'rakyat' be happy? We know that the market price for fuel dropped by over 70 million dollar. Why is our oil price still that expensive? The market is really bad nowadays. Singapore is facing recession. Malaysia government is having a money-spending spree. Share markets are dropping drastically. The world is changing now. How are we going to survive? Can we survive? Though I was reminded to save as this year's market will be very bad, I still haven't save any penny. My savings are fluctuating, not going up at all. I always tell myself "Don't buy things anymore" but I still spend a lot, buying books, clothes, etc. I guess, I still am weak on my will power. Probably I have to start giving my money to my mom so that she would help me save. Save now before it's too late. The...
