Full o’ Games and Rains

One week of semester break left. I enjoyed myself in the 3rd week, safe to say its one of the best week spent for a holiday. Although usual activities, we’re just gaming, having a drink just around the area. It isn’t really a holiday, because we’re basically doing the same thing I still do even when it isn’t a holiday.

Myself at Desa Park City

Recently I have been doing stuff beyond my regular routine, I finally got my hands (my feet actually) on ice skating! Its pretty much like roller blading except much more painful, since the skates aren’t so comfortable as compared to roller blades. Getting to shop, explore malls, its all thanks to one friend whom I had as company.

Me and Rayne

Thanks Rayne for the days we’ve spent together, I enjoyed them very much. In a way to say, this holiday has made me feel different from other holidays, where I feel pretty much like a corpse rotting at home.

Sunway, Ice Skating Rink Pass

I’m feeling normal. (Actually, I feel even better!)

Hiatus, The Summary

I have abandoned this for far too long, writing this used to be one of my responsibilities in keeping myself aware of reality, about what was actually happening. Here I am, at home passing time for my first semester break.

Having entering college, things were never the same. The new environment kind of makes me glad that secondary was over, one of the few out of many people who actually missed their secondary school life. Everything was different.

Throughout the first semester, I got to express myself in ways I couldn’t, unlike being binded down by rules & regulations that was in secondary school. Don’t get be wrong, we’re not all free birds in college, there are of course things to go by. Right now, everything is going smooth, though most importantly…

I hope get my inspiration to write again…

Birds Chirp, Humans Tweet…?

This log has collected dust for a month, been caught up with something else that I forgot my constant update. I do have photos of my recent kitchen work, though there isn’t a story to follow up with it. Not really an ideal way to keep this log updated.

Anyway, I’m sure almost everyone knows what “Twitter” is. Theres been a recent spike of twitters in my area, or network of friends. Most of them were potential bloggers, in fact in my view were bloggers worth kept in track. However, as soon as they’ve started twittering, they’ve abandoned their blogging lifestyle and ‘tweeted‘ all day long. Finding this really disturbing, I remember watching this Youtube video when it was first published in around March. Its a very educational video in my opinion, so I would bet its worth sharing.

Selayang Thai Food

Delayed this post for quite a long time, but here it is.

I haven’t been to Selayang Mall in a while. Mother wanted to shop for some bedsheets and anything else that may be useful. In other words, picking up anything that may make our lives easier by 0.01%.

After a full exploration of Parkson, we got down to the lowest floor to look for something to fill our stomachs. There was Johnny’s, KFC… its just a boring sight to even look at the signs, but we eventually found something really satisfying. Maybe I’ve never noticed, because I haven’t been to Selayang Mall for months, maybe a year or two… but theres a fantastic Thaifood stall in the middle of the mall itself, just in front of KFC.

[Thaifood Outlet]

The ingredients and all their food are displayed just outside, all you have to do is point & order! Really, because they don’t understand English and Cantonese, good thing they have Malays helping out in their stall though. I went with the casual Tom Yam mee as mother decided to take their Udang Goreng (Fried Prawns) to the test.

[Tom Yam Mee]

I say it was good. It satisfies the taste, that is Tom Yam, without being excessively spicy. It was also garnished with an amount of celery to give it a really nice aroma. As for the prawns, sorry, no photos available. I can only say it was ‘really’ fried, I tasted no meat, the prawn has turned into a cracker! Dip it in chili sauce, and just enjoy it.

What are you waiting for? Give it a try!

Wastage, to Delicacy

On request by lecturer, Chef Nurul, we had to clean the pastry kitchen for the college. Nothing extraordinary happened, until someone clogged up the oil drainage.

The oil splashed out, and the smell was horrendous. To be honest, its not that bad, so those wearing an extra T-Shirt must volunteer to help clean up the mess. Though there was only two of them wearing T-Shirt, lecturer wanted three. I decided to help things out.

[Removing Waste]

[The Pot of 'Gold']

Wouldn’t want to be looking at this while having a meal. Speaking of meal, we managed to take a few snapshots of our senior students in action. At the ‘Lagenda Cafe’. Heres some snaps.

[Lagenda Cafe]

Heres the cafe, its not really a fancy, huge, restaurant or a cafe. The kitchen is also an open kitchen where the customers will be able to see the chefs in action. Good way to keep students under pressure? I think I’ll be enjoying it when I do that in my next semester. Muahaha!

[5 Dishes Set Meal]

The meal is served in a set, in 5 dishes which changes everyday. The menu of the day is displayed outside of the cafe, where one set of these meals are RM18 to outsiders and RM15 to college students. Sadly, I didn’t managed to write down the menu and name these dishes out.

Theres going to be a really special blog post tomorrow, its going to be about a Thailand Food Outlet, thats by far one of the most impressive ones I’ve been to.

Internet (Gambling) Centre

No photos in this post, mates. Didn’t get a chance.

Waking up on a Friday morning, mother wanted to go to Time Square to pay Aunt Wendy a visit while they were finishing up some renovation on the 6th floor. Since mom did not have experience of going to Time Square using Komuter before, I couldn’t refuse.

Reaching the place, there was an internet centre my aunt introduced us to. To be honest, theres not a single byte of internet in that centre. It was a gambling centre… on computers, although the sign out of it clearly states “Internet Cafe”. As it runs in the family, they went for a few spins. I just had to watch right beside them on another PC, and then…

*BAM*
The desk collapsed, wooden boards and the monitor crashed on my leg. Fortunately, light injuries only and only 5 minutes after that incident, another desk behind us fell apart as well, except the dude sitting there wasn’t even scratched.

Damn, whats up… I thought I had enough torture with a sprain and arthritis already.

College, Here I Am!

Legends International College of Hospitality and Tourism…

College has started, yes it has. What can I tell you about it? Well, its decent. Things were a bit awkward at first, but everyone got the hang of it. So here I am, sharing what I’ve seen after the 1st week of college.
But wait, whats the most important part? What did I learn from the 1st week in college.

… nothing! Thats right, nothing. Our chef is on medical leave, so we left class early, and socialized among ourselves.

[Orientation Day]

Theres more than what you see in there. That happened to be the auditorium, which turned out to look really cool for a classroom. The cool part is? Its not a classroom.

Now, this… is a classroom.

[Sabah & Sarawak Room Combined]

If you’re wondering, yes. The classroom is called Sarawak room, there wasn’t enough room, so it combined with the Sabah room. A lot of students? In actuality, its 4 classes combined, together with the senior batch. That means class DCA39, DCA40, DHT45, DHT46. What a class name.

The guy staring with his mouth open is Lucas, same class, same intake. Cool guy, with many interests like myself. Often finding myself playing Table Tennis with him during lunch break.

Which reminds me, the great part about this is theres no opening for boredom. Introducing…

[The Student Lounge]

I love it.

Operation: Toy Store Surprise

I had some trouble looking for my missing card reader, so events that took place the past few days didn’t manage to get posted onto the blog. Instead, let me show you something I caught in a toy store today.

Note: I could’ve done a voice review, and perhaps posted about this on Youtube, but not having a good camera to record videos, and not even owning the product, how could I possibly make the review? I hope this post will do.

Now, we all know Spiderman.

[Spiderman The Movie No. 1]

That Marvel super hero has probably been an idol to young children for many years. Just as much as some other Marvel hero like Hulk, Thor, or other… things that nerds like me (kind of) or other kids that may have idolized them, and became a fanatic.

Well, just my fine honest words, I don’t ‘really’ like Spiderman. Just as anyone realized, these hero toys, dolls, ‘action figures’…? Can be seen owned by young children, or maybe infants, almost everywhere. Let me now show you, something that shouldn’t be sold.

[Operation: Spiderman Version]

I call this,
Operation: Spiderman …Operation!

So, I think I recall seeing this when I was a kid, but I never really bothered about these toys and I didn’t have a blog back then. Till now I see it again.

Whats this? Let me tell you, what the hell this is… this is Spiderman! … having an operation!

So as the title of the box says, “Operation”. Its sort of a plastic toy where you get to operate Spiderman and attempt to heal his wounds. So, you know… it doesn’t seem awkward right? Remember watching Spiderman getting operated in the movies in his Spidey costume?
I don’t!

Well you see, even on the box is written with a caption. “Spiderman is sick… better operate quick!”, and whats weird to me is that the one doing the operation on the cover box, seems to be Dr. Octopus.

Now, anyone with common sense, knows Spiderman (Peter Parker), even a comic book character, would have the brains not walking into a hospital, in HIS Spiderman suit.

What surprises me even more, its approved by Marvel itself, I mean look at the bottom right corner of the box. Damn, this toy is even for 6 year olds and above.Lets just walk down the streets looking at kids playing tag out in their yard, and then just suddenly one of them yell out… “Hey guys, lets go operate Spiderman!“. Hurray! Lets go!

Seriously… I don’t find that appropriate. Even if its just a comic book hero, what are they selling to kids?

Well, Allow Me!

First of all, allow me to say hello to WordPress readers and bloggers! I’ll hope to be able to write more, but at the moment, I’m kind of short of ideas, since there really isn’t any action happening lately! So lets cut it as short as possible, shall we?

I used to blog on Blogger, but found it a bit messy and decided to try WordPress, after looking through the blogger’s admin page its actually pretty organized. I will be blogging about my interests and also places that I might be visiting, but I don’t travel too much, sadly.

I would be writing about :

Culinary (occasionally when college starts)
Gaming (when the need comes)
Travel (when there is one)
Singing (when I’ve started my A Capella group)

And maybe, a bit more which I might be forgetting. My pleasure to be on WordPress, good day for now!

I’ve Moved!

Hello friends, and readers. I’ve come from Blogspot to renew and start a new blog, hopefully to get my post more organized than before. Hope to write soon.
