Shogun




Weather: Sunny

Level of Happiness: 84%

Yesterday, all my housemates and I went to 1-U to have our dinner at the Japanese restaurant, Shogun. We planned this few days ago, but unexpectedly, we are still able to achieve the planned (usually it won’t success XD….). At 3pm yesterday, I started to rush back from the library so that we will be having some time for shopping at 1-U before the Mega-sale ends. We reached there about 4.45pm and we still have some time to go search for my ‘target’… fcuk t-shirt.

When we approached the shop, we were so happy that we saw a big ‘SALE’ banner pasted on the wall. It is even written there 30%....40%.... Without hesitating, we straight away went into the shop to look for my plain-black-colored t-shirt with the word ‘fcuk’ in front. However, I was told that the t-shirt is new-arrival and it is sold at the normal price RM109. Oh no…. no choice but I have to put it aside as buying a t-shirt for more than hundred ringgit is definitely not worth. Next, we went to another shop, Zara. My friend bought a t-shirt from there for only RM30. It is really cheap!

At 6.15pm we headed to Shogun restaurant. After waiting for few years (yup, I have been thinking of going there when I first went to 1-U), finally I have a chance to step into that restaurant and this made me having such a high expectation on the food. All of us were stunned when we saw the great variety of food placed so nicely on the table for us to grab. ‘wei…wei…..so nice la’…’paying only 60 for the buffet is so worth!!’ …. ‘they are even better than E&O’ … we are looking forward to try the food ….The food is ranging from the Japanese style sushi, sashimi & tepanyaki, Thai-style tomyam & spicy-stemed fish to some of the Western style food such as stick & Chinese dim sum. Haha.. this is only the beginning of the story!!





When we tasted all the food it the 1st round, it was really delicious (perhaps we were so hungry at the moment…) Suddenly, one of my friend saw a dead-cockroach on the squid taken. We were shocked and we have lost all of our appetite. I asked to guy wearing formal-shirt to our table and show him the ‘interesting’ thing. To my disappointment, what the response from him was ‘oh..cockroach? oo…okok’ Then he took the plate away without making any explanation to us. Perhaps all of us haven’t encountered such situation before and don’t even know how to make noise and grab everyone’s attention. Hmm…ok.. we learnt a lesson!!!



Then we continue for the 2nd round and so on. The only food that I like the most is that tempura-prawns that I’ll queue up for an hour just for that food during the sushi-king RM2 promotion. For the dessert, it is really not much different from normal buffet that I can’t even find a cheese-cake from there. The ice-cream? Haiz….i think it is not much different from the Nestle ice-cream sold in Tesco…



Overall the ratings (out of 10 points) of Shogun are as below:
Environment: 7.5
Variety of Food: 9
Quality of Food: 6
Service: 5
Cleanliness: 5
Price: 7
**** Overall (as voted from all of us) : 6.5

So, I say さようなら (sayounara) to Shogun. That’s all for today. Bye~

2nd Attempt to Broga Hill



Weather: Sunny
Level of Happiness: 85%

That was my 2nd attempt to Broga Hill. We start our journey at 3.40am and reach the foot of Broga hill at around 4.30am. We start the hiking after taking some photos there. Compared to the first time, there were fewer people over there. There are three ‘check-points’ on the way to the summit of Broga Hill. We will definitely spend some time to snap some photos whenever we reach a ‘check-point’ as there is a ‘professional’ photographer together with us. It took us 45 minutes to reach the summit.







This is the 1st time that all of us reach the summit of the mountain!!! Even some of the experienced one hasn’t been to there before and we really felt proud of it. The only thing that we are not satisfied is we were unable to see the sunrise, probably due to the cloudy sky. However, I’m quite happy with that since out skin won’t turn darker as a result of the exposure to the intense sunlight. Haha…
The toughest part of hiking is not other than going down from the mountain as the land is quite slippery. After the hiking, we visited to the nearest temple and snapped some photos there.




After taking out lunch there, we continue to our last destination of that day – Klang. Since all of us heard that the Bak Kut Teh over there is the best in Malaysia, we decided to give it a try. To my disappointment, I personally don’t felt any special on the food, probably some of the food already sold out at that time.
We went back after the Bak Kut Teh. One thing interesting is that we totally passed through totally 12 tolls in this trip, thanks to GPS. Haha…



That’s all for today. Bye~

World Cup Fever



Weather: Sunny
Level of Happiness: 76%

It was so long time since my last post. As time passes so fast, it is now week 8 of the semester. It is also the end of FIFA World Cup. Without realizing, I have been following the world cup matches for almost one month. I will never miss any matches of Germany. I even awake until 5am morning just to watch the match. It is the semi-final now and the 1st match of semi-final is going to start later. I’m sure that everyone is also prepared on where to watch the game.



However, it seems like there are a lot of obstacles for me to watch for these few matches left. Thu morning Germany vs Spain….a few hours later, I have to meet my project supervisor to present my work….and the worst is ….I have not done any preparation yet!!! That is not the end yet…Monday morning, FINAL…. Holland vs Germany (hopefully)…a few hours later…Communication System Engineering Test!!! I am wondering whether the lecturer is purposely put the test at the same day as the World Cup Final which everyone in the whole world is watching. It seems like he wants us to sacrifice on…. Erm… the TEST!! Ya…I’m sure that those people who like football will not give out that opportunity which only comes every 4 years.

That’s all for today. Here, I wish GER will go on to create a new record and strike for the champion. Bye~

A New Start



Weather: Rainy
Level of Happiness: 78%

It will be the 3rd week of semester now. Throughout the days in KL, I have spent a lot of money probably due to the new mindset. I still remember when my housemates and I first come to KL, we tried to save as much as we can, try to eat instant noodles instead of eating outside, try not to hang out so often etc. However, I’m not going to practise this concept again as someone has highlighted to me “Spend as much as u can as 2012 is approaching!” Yuhoo~

Last week, I went to Lau Yat Redbox to sing-k (Probably shout-k~). My main intention over there is to try out the buffet dinner. The buffet is not so bad overall, at least better than Greenbox. Erm, hot about the price? I would say that the price that informed by them is almost similar to the share-market, keep fluctuating. One thing different is that the trend share-market is up and down, but the price calculated by them until the total amount that we have to pay is keep increasing. Finally costing us around RM30 per person.

The next day after the Redbox, we went to Midvalley. That was the 1st time I went Midvalley with my friends by KTM. I have watched the local-made movie, Ice Kacang… To my surprise, the seats inside were almost fully-occupied although the movie is available for more than 2 months. Maybe it was due to the actors and actress that we like them so much~~

Wednesday, we went to the pasar malam located at Cheras. That was the 2nd time I drive there. I bought a lot of things over there, which include crispy roll $3, pancake青龙五谷 $1.50, China’s style burger $1.50 (shared), siew-mai $4, 食神-酱爆丸$1(shared), sugar-cane drink x2 $2.40 total and the last one …. bun-shape key-chain that I was searching for more than 4 months $5.



Basically that was my main entertainment during the two weeks in KL. I think it is enough for today’s post and I have to go back to KL tomorrow. Bye~

A Beautiful Full Stop



Weather: Sunny
Level of Happiness: 69%

Saturday~ Yesterday was my last day training in the company. Since I stepped into the company, there was always a kind of unusual feeling, since I have spent most of my time in the company during the 4 months. During lunch time, another trainee and I were brought to the restaurant nearby to have a buffet lunch. There were 8 of us over there.

At night, after I came back from haircut, I went to Queensbay Hammer Bay to meet my supervisor for dinner. We were watching Thomas Cup over there and saw how Malaysia’s team terribly lost. I went back after the dinner and that was 10pm. It was the moment I put a beautiful full-stop on my industrial training. I’ll not forget the nice and meaningful experience during the training.

Some of the interesting/unforgettable incident that happened during the training:
~ATV machine down and cause the hydrogen leaking, at the same time, triggering emergency alarm. Everyone rushed out from the production area. (H2 is explosive!)
~The products exploded during the heating process. The operator, Fiko, cried after that as she is the one who in charge of the heating. Around RM6000 were lost because of that.
~Emergency alarm triggered as the water pipe leaking. The office near to the entrance was full of water.
~Sakinah cried after being scolded by the engineer.
~Operators, Ambiga and Fang treated me during tea-time.
~Technician, Deva, treated me for lunch & tea-time.
~Fiko requested me to give her my pen to keep as memory during my last day. She took my pen and didn’t want to return to me…haha…

That’s all for the working experience. With this, I officially end this topic here. Bye~

It's OVER



Weather: Rainy

Level of Happiness: 80%

Today is super busy day for me. My alarm rang at 5.45am. After struggling for 15 minutes, I finally manage to get up and continue my report. After double checked, I started printing my report. Pg1-10….. Pg11-20…. Pg21-30….. Done! It’s the time for me to go shower and have my breakfast! As it was already 7.30pm, I was rushing to do all the things and go to work. However, after thinking that most of them were going to meeting in the morning today, I began to relax a bit. By the time I reached the company, it was already 15 minutes late. Oops….bad record again!

During lunch time, as usual, I was going with my best friend in the company, Deva. He said that he will help me to pay. I was so touched! Later during tea time, when I was picking the food, he approached me and warned me not to pay for the food. That time I just said a sincere Thank You to him and I have nothing to say at the moment.

Last week, another operator, Ambiga, also treated me some ‘kuih’… although it does not cost much, I’ll always remember her. She is the one who 1st scolding on me when I came to this company. I have been scolded by her many times as I always ‘curi’ her pen and did not return to her….hehe.. When thinking of the 3 months being together until she treated me 180 degree different now, my eyes will really filled with tears.

Another operator that I wish to thank is Fang, an operator from another shift. I’ll always remember the nice watermelon juice that she bought for me.

Today, all of us are in big trouble now as the engineers were doing something not according to the procedure. The worst thing is that…. The process is under me! Oh no… I really speechless…. Suddenly feel like the mountain of jobs is suppressing me. However, since tomorrow is my last day, I will only try my best to train the technician over there before I leave.

After work, I rushed to print out another part of my report as I do not have color ink in my printer. After that, I was staying at home to finish up my report until I skipped my dinner. After double and triple checked, I rush to Young Ones behind my house to bind my report. It was the time that I really release my burden.

Haven’t end yet. Again…I rush to Queensbay with my sister to buy a new bag. Hoho…I like my new bag so much…




Okie..it’s time to pack my stuffs…Nitez…..

Home Alone



Weather: Sunny
Level of Happiness: 82%

Monday 09 May- Yesterday, as my family is going to Genting Highland for vacation, left me alone to become a security guard at home… After having dim sum with my parents, I stayed at home the whole morning to finish up my report. Suppose that the report can be done early, but I am really lazy to do that. Haiz…..it is totally NOT my style!!! I will not finish my task at last minute….looks like the 3 months training had make me become lazier….

I planned to ask someone to go for a movie, but all of them seem like fully booked~ so, I have to search for an alternative. Staying at home to finish up my Taiwanese drama (Hi My Sweetheart)? Nono! Finally, I came out an idea…that is…..go shopping…yEaH~~~

I really have plenty of things to buy….First, I went to PDI Concept Store to look for some shirts and pants… I was so lucky to meet my friend there and thus I got a 40% discount on the normal price item…wuhoo~~ I have saved RM40 on that purchase. However, I still not satisfied on what I have bought, probably I will be back to grab more shirts before I went back to KL….ngiek…ngiek….

After that, I continued to explore into other shop. I bought a T-shirt from SODA and I really really like that shirt^^ in Queensbay around 1 hour, I have spent Rm124.30…If I’m not going for football afterwards, the amount will be even higher….wakakakka..~



Okie..that’s all for today. Bye~
