Southern historical city

Last paper was math......
and it was on last Thursday.....
and ended at 4:00 pm

hopped on cars straight after the exam.....
head to the Southern historical city--Melaka

had crab dinner at Seremban.....
with the usual big group
for the last time in this year....
me, Bel, Hui Yen, Sherrie, king, Qu Wern, Will, Vishnu, Ash, Semuel, David, Yeong Jian and Gab....

time to say goodbye around 10pm.....
Only 8 people continue the journey to the south....
me, hu yen, sherrie, king, qu wern, will, vish and ash......
the others.....2 should be in USA by now.....
the rest might be enjoying their summer at home...

reached Melaka in the midnight......
monopoly--bath--mamak--bed
end the first day in Melaka

Friday was Wesak day....
3 days of holiday......
I think everyone from northern cities and our neighbour from south all went to Melaka during the time....
the town full with Singapore and KL cars..... = ="

woke up and drive to the famous fish ball mee for breakfast

hmmm....what to do after breakfast?
it's not a good idea to explore the historical city under the big hot sun
exposed too much to UV light could cause skin cancer.....
so all these puteri and putera lilin decided to hang around Dataran Pahlawan Megamall
watched Shrek the Third for lunch
and then Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time for supper

there's long time between movies....
so we went to the beach....to see the famous Strait of Melaka

enjoying the "fresh" sea breeze......



it's 5pm!!! time for the Capitol Satay to open.....
reached the restaurant around 5:30pm...
look at the super long queue stretching along the road
quite many people did the same thing as me....
take the camera and take the picture of this epic scene in Melaka
don't feel surprise if you see me appear in some unknown's blog/facebook.....

we quickly joined the line....and wait wait wait wait wait.....
for 1 hour...........
finally get our butt seated.....


the shop is so generous....
they charge the expensive seafood at normal price--0.80 sen only...

but there's limited amount for each table.....

the satay sauce was really thick.....
they put in two big ladle of some secret mix spice and groundnut


end the second exhausted day in Melaka after the midnight movie....
planned to have dim sum for breakfast at 8am in the next morning....
ended up having chicken rice ball for brunch...
gave up the famous one which might need an hour queue.....
had the not-so-famous one.....

pack our stuff....tidy up the house.....
on the highway at 4pm......
reached uni at 6pm.....

had a 2+2+1 dinner at Bubba Gump before the people going back.....
it was fun.....^^

3 more weeks to meet the same people again......
will be see them soon in the "Cat City"
going to the East again......hehe......

miss the people.....

it's coming!!!!

*sniff sniff*
I can smell it......
It is coming.......
getting closer and closer.......

I can smell the sea......
I can smell the sun.....
I can smell the freedom....

All these smell are coming from my great HOT summer break.....
which is 2 days and 16 hours away........

four down.....
one more to go.....

vectors, calculus and ODEs will mark the ending of spring....
coming summer is the motivation
fighting spirit is sky high......

GAMBATEH!!!

haPPy MaMa Day

but we are quite busy around this time.....
so we celebrated it in a way that most people do......
taking my dearest mama out for dinner......

having dinner at this place-->


as stated......they serve Hakka Cuisine.....
I am hakka......we have hakka food almost every single day......
why we still taking our mama to a restaurant that serve hakka cuisine while she can cook most of the dishes on the menu.....

Ying Ker Lou is chosen because they serve 盆菜
my mama wanna eat 盆菜 since long time ago.....
but very limited restaurant serve this dish.....

so what is 盆菜 ??
translate literally would be pot dish....lolz.....
basically just few types of dish being served in a single pot....
picture would give a better definition on that......



there are six dishes in a single pot......
yee mee is buried under all those dishes....
it absorb all the best flavour from the dishes place on top of it.....
*slurrrrrp*
it was the best dry yee mee I have ever eaten.....

by the way.....we had this as well.....

the OC Cameron Trip

continue from previous post......
slept at 330am and woke up at 530am.....
gathered at uni around 730am.....
for the finale~~~
Outdoor Club/the OC committee Cameron Trip 2010

the trip was nearly canceled due to transport problem.....
luckily green light was given at the end.....^^

it was really an super early morning......
everyone's stomach was empty....
before going on.......
fill the stomach with some not-so-healthy mamak breakfast @ Ibrahim Maju



get in to the cars......
start the engine.....
go on the winding road.......
JOURNEY to the HIGHLAND officially started.....wohooo.....

stopped by a town to grab some lunch and also did some shopping......
because we were informed that our chalet is totally ALONE......
sound so luxury huh....

somebody printed out the itinerary that Shanjiv planned
and he himself didn't plan to follow it.....
nobody cares about the itinerary.....
scrap it.......followed our own plan-less schedule.....


went on the road again.......
the road getting more winding and smaller as we advance to our chalet......
view outside the car getting clearer and greener.......
passed by the BOH tea house......
took right exit to the less traveled road.....

after a 3km super winding and narrow road.......
they finally park their cars......

we took this way up to our chalet......
it is the ONLY way to get there.......
and ONLY allows ONE car in ONE direction at ONE time
curious about where were we staying?
our chalet is belonged to Malaysia Nature Society......
it's located at the heart of BOH tea plantation.......
with AWESOME green valley/hill view........
the chalet consists of 4 rooms.....
and we OWN the whole chalet for 2D1N.....

let's take a look of our room...............

facilities available in each room:
double queen-size bed with bed sheet
comfortable and supportive pillows with pillow sheets
super warm wind-breaking purple blanket (looks like a giant towel)
bright white light
natural air-con which you can't control the temperature and wind speed.....

shared bathroom and kitchen for every 2 rooms.....
with cooking gas barrel in the bathroom (o.O)
yes...gas...the flammable one that you connect to your stove for cooking.....
it is connected to the water heater for heating purposes.....

placed our bags in the rooms.....
had little chill out moment after a long winding journey.....
after some chilling.......
the OC couldn't sit still until dinner time......
since we're in the middle of tea plantation....
gear up and hike!!!!


used some energy.......
climbed up the hill.....
walked in between the tea plant.....
turned around.....
saw the view that took our breath away........


the evening sun shine on one hill
and create the shadow on another valley/hill.....

met a dog at the beginning of our hike.....
and it followed and hike with us......
like a guardian.........

after hiking.....time for dinner......
cameron pasar malam......^^
*burb*
didn't forget to get some bread for our guardian during the hiking.....=>
she is a skinny mama of 3 pup.....need food to produce milk.....

back from pasar malam.......
washed up and started the craziest night I ever had.......

the night was very cold and breezy........
we're sitting at the balcony.......
cocooned in the warm blanket......
then the opening of the ice box......
1st......everyone had some pure white label whisky + ice to warm ourselves up......
chatting......chilling......laughing.......
finish the 1st one.....came the second bottle-->vodka
again......chatting......chilling......laughing.......
felt that my head was heavy when I half done with the vodka....
the finale--->gold label whisky.......
this was smooth and nicer than the previous two......
by the time for the third cup.....I already getting very high......
kept talking talking talking........
my head was so heavy......
couldn't even walk a straight line....><" then came the best part-----TWISTER
it was so funny to see those tipsy people playing....including me.....
by the way....I was totally conscious during the whole night.....

after playing one round and watching two round.....
I could hardly open my eyes anymore......
it was 3am........good night and sleep tight....... (_ _)zZZ
while others continue until 6am......

the next morning.......
woke up around 9am......
opened the door......
cold breeze blowing on your face......
sitting at the balcony and enjoy the free beautiful view.....


went for a walk with Diane who was the only one woke up around the same time as me......
hill were covered with mist in the morning......
morning dew still hanging at the tip of grass.....
every single view I saw was super duper nice........
blue clear sky.......white fluffy cloud....green hill and valley......

12pm......everyone woke up and leaving around 1pm.......
down from hill we straight went mid valley for dinner and "Kick Ass"
saying goodbye at 12am.......

feel lucky that I joined the club and met those great people......
enjoy the trip so much.....
miss the people too.....

wish all the best to the leaving seniors......


p/s**all pictures are taken by Heng.....I didn't bring my camera again....><"

Private Annual Dinner 2010

Scrap the Nottingham Annual Dinner @ Shangri La Hotel
which had lots of negative feedback from those who attended

We had our own private annual dinner at NeroFico
an Italian fine dining restaurant at Damansara Height
it is recommended by David and SW's friends......
dinner is held in the private dining room.....


few cars going to the place where none of us know the way......
so.......GPS is the savior.......I thought......
jx and I...the two serdang girls went by ourselves....
she got the GPS.......
I think wrong coordinate was keyed in or what.....
we were the last people who reached the restaurant.....><
we had set dinner for that day......
few choices for starter....main course....dessert

STARTER

Mushroom Soup drizzled with truffle oil

NeroFico Salad
(no picture available)


MAIN COURSE

risotto with wild mushroom
(nobody ordered this)

Pan-fried SalmonFillet

I had this for my main course.....
the salmon skin was crispy
fillet is not over-done.....
the center of fillet still remain some raw-ness and juicy......

Beef

I don't eat beef.....It's tender according to those who had this
but I did try the side dish.....
the baked potatoes is awesome!!! love it~


DESSERT
~my favourite moment~


tiramisu

hmmm....abit disappointed on this....
it was abit plain to my taste....
and too moist.......or watery.....

lemon tart

it's SOUR......filling was real sour...><

after all three courses were served.....
time for the camera girl and man to action.....
too bad I didn't bring my camera....><

after dinner.....most people didn't feel like going back yet....
so we went to a pub in Bangsar....
chatting....poker-ing....drinking....
till 2am......

reached home around 3am....
slept for 2 hours......
woke up and went on a winding journey~~~

what did you do?

yesterday was the EARTH DAY......
40th anniversary....
how much has SHE changed in the past 40 years?
or to be accurate.....
how much we.....as the intelligent Homo sapiens....
have changed the face of our mother nature?

28th of March.....the Earth Hour...
it was like a festival.....a celebration....
people having BBQ party outdoor......producing lots of carbon.....
shop having candle light dinner promotion.....making money out of that day.....
what's the purpose of switching off the lights???
nobody cares....
the habit of wasting energy and resources continue after the light is switched on.....

All little habits that do not seem important.....actually they do.....

OFF all the electric appliances that not in use......
not putting them into stand by mode.....

AVOID unnecessary shopping......
3 R we always talk about is in this order: reduce-->reuse-->recycle
lots carbon have been produced by the time we recycle something....

CLOSE the tap when brushing teeth.....
the running water is the running gold....
water in 21st century = oil in 20th century

just simple changes in life will make the earth and also all the creature living on it have a longer life span.....


every single action will bring a chain effect.....

make the 1% contribution.....
