What The Year 2009 Has Done to Me

2009. I've celebrated the coming of the year in tHe Curve.


Looking back, the year was crazy to say the least.


Yes, from my Blog, the year seemed kinda boring. But what I would highlight is the things that I did in the University first.

1. The Haunted House





2. My Uni has been hit with A(H1N1)

3. My Uni is boring!!!


Well, apart from my Uni, there's also other places that I've hanged with my uni friends.

1. Went to UCSI Orchestra to see Amy perform.






2. Went to Broga Hill, found out that I really need to work on my stamina!





3. Went for Shabu-Shabu, conveyor belt steamboat.





4. Celebrated my 21st Birthday. Ahh... Pics are on Facebook... (Steamboat... Again Minus the sigh) Thanks Guys!


DIY and Upgrades that I've done;

1. Finally my bed is stable! Manage to fix the problem of the mattress constantly falling into the bed frame.






2. Installed Windows 7 (32-bit), then Dual-Boot it with XP and Windows 7 (64-bit)







3. Installed 4 GB of RAM.


Besides that, I've became God-like when I was back in my hometown for three months, couch-sitting, TV-sitting and bed-sitting.

1. Back there, I've also met up with friends for trips to Permai, twice actually.





2. Yum Char sessions, which I think would amount to more than 10.

3. BBQ at Joash's place, met up with Dominic, Clifford, Kai Liang and so on...

4. Played Prospectors and Saboteurs during almost every yum char session when Joash is there. Nice game by the way!

5. Family time.


While during the last semester break;

1. Yum Char sessions

2. Went to Permai again, this time to skim-board. Thanks Mei Fern for the lesson. Now my butt doesn't hurt anymore from falling down!


~~~

However, there were downers,

1. PTPTN - I forgot to receive or take the agreement letter, had to drive all the way to Bukit Damansara to get the letter! Hence my school fee was paid during the last minute. Anyway, the upside is that the cash came in just in time.

2. Leg Injury. 20 cents coin on my knee!!!

3. Flu. But which one did I get??!!

4. Hard Disk failure! Lost some documents. -.-''


Despite the downers, the yeas has been memorable. The last week I've prepared Spaghetti and Meatballs from scratch, for 30++ people during the Christmas Party. Pics later la...

This year, I'll send off the year 2009 with a BBQ with friends.

The Menu~

1. Chicken Wings
2. Lamb Chop
3. Mashed Potatoes
4. Fries
5. Watermelon.


Yeah, I know that its not as grand as it can be, but smoking and charring for 16 people will prove a new challenge. With just a nominal fee of RM15, would you expect smoked salmon? Well, if I've got the cash, I will personally fillet and smoke the fish for 5hrs!

Anyway, gotta marinade the meat soon~

Old Town near UM

Last Friday, I went to Damansara, something to deal with the PTPTN... Lampiran A crap.


YH and I stopped by UM after since he wants to meet up with a friend, at 5.30. However, he met his junior so we went out to makan at Old Town.








After sending YH to UM, that was around 5pm, the Junior, Zhao Xue (hope the spelling is correct) and I went to Midvalley, where we met up with Peter.










The process of buying a pair of shoes took Peter about 2++ hours though, until Studio R closes! Lolx...

Conveyor Belt Shabu-Shabu (Steamboat)

Why do people (the Japanese especially) like food served on conveyor belts? I mean, there's the monotony in it, the sterile and non-friendly style of food, reducing human contact especially during dinner...





Well, this place is somewhere in PJ or something and they serve raw ingredients on conveyor belts where you have to boil it yourself in a pot in front of you.




The damage is RM26 for all you can eat style steamboat cooking, without the hot plate. The meat is either too salty of something, not worth mentioning. I guess the fun is all in having the food served to you on a conveyor belt that goes too fast.





Guess that there's more to complain, well just the typical Engrish that we see on our everyday lives..

Home Sweet Home...

Home, at last...

Freaking delay of the flight... Half an hour man!!

...


Well, I've been waitin...

But at least this plane.. with leather seats have the recline button.. Yes.. Airasia's new airbus have recline button... I guess this is a new addition... Recline your butt on the spanking leather seat..



[the all important recline button!!!]





[leather seats... soft.. comfy... ]

ok..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back home...


Finally got my sis's old comp working







Its only a 900MHz processor, has no graphics card, 80 gig hard drive and running of 256mb of RAM... but...






its hell of alot better than a 166MHz processor that has 3 gigs and 32Mb of RAM and still runs win98...





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well, while I was in KL, I've found a new trend in restaurants...


[Gasoline]


[Dreamland Tree o something.... -.-]

Yeah, despite the odd names that they give...








They all wanna have you sitting on the floor...



There are two extremes to the types of retaurants....




One is the laid back, relaxing type...

[Dreamland Tree or Tree Dream???? -.- ]




While the other gonna have your heart thumping along with the bass...

[Gasoline]


But you all have to sit on the floor...



So guys with hairy legs, wear jeans...


Girls... Ahem... [wakakakaka]




Anyway... Food is so so... But, better than the normal food you get at food courts and I'm getting sick of those... Damn sick...



Drinks.... Ahahahaz... They have the starbucks price all over it... Their caffiene drinks are ok... [gasoline]



[mochacha?? huh? wad kind of name was that for something we all know as mocha??? ]

So. is it a well worth dinning experience??


Well, if you are with a group of friends who don't mind getting on the floor and dine and maybe get ready for some games that are offered on Gasoline [board games] or maybe have your own solo on the piano or guitar...



Its casual at best.. Feels kinda like home where there are less rules eventhough there are none printed...
