Which came first??The Ham or the road??

Throughout my whole life I have had tonnes of people walking up to me and say,

Why is your Chinese name same as the road??


I guess in so many ways I could have answered I always chose my personal favourite

The road was named after me




If you were to observe the above you would realize why sometimes people just believe what I just said. Sometimes I too believe what I say. Haha. But until today I still do not know which came first. Me or the house. I guess I could ask but sometimes when I feel like it I could just imagine the better past.haha. So whenever you thihk of the lame chicken egg question, think off the ham and the road question. Haha.

Eating like tommorow going back UTP!!! ;)



I think I gained too much weight. I think I better watch it. I think I got to stop going out for late night suppers. Owh what the heck. I have only one week left in Kuching before I go back to UTP. Ok that statement just made UTP sound like a very bad place but it isn't. It's just that in Perak there's no kolo mee, laksa, kueh chap, sio bee, bak chang, cha kueh, etc. No insult but compare all of these to the malay food I'll have to be eating, it's like eating in a restaurant compared to going home to eat grass from your own front lawn. :) Though of over stuffing myself with food but couldn't do it. Had only a siew pau, kolo mee and bak moi. Thought of having more but did not dare to push it since there's still one week. Might try something more drastic one Sunday night though. Haha.

Kolo mee


Bak MOi


I guess before I go back I have to eat a few more things though.


Mee Jawa, few dozens of sio bee, many more bowls of kolo mee and laksa, cha kueh. Actually not many things but a few things in large quantities. Haha

This time I went to the shoe

With a huge hole on the left side of my old Duncan basketball shoe, my dad asked me to get a new pair. But dang, the shops here in Kuching are like so not stocked up with nice basketball shoe. When I went to the new Nike shop in Spring I saw this:




So then I got this shoe. A Jordan shoe. Dylan says it's not nice but I think it's ok. The nicest one in the stores now. So now I have a new basketball shoe :)

An eating place I've never been before.

Dylan : Where to go for supper??
Adrian : Kenyalang!!
Me : I wanna buy DVD let's go to Jalan Song
Adrian : Kenyalang also can buy
Me : Fine , Kenyalang then. But got place to eat there meh??




Dylan drove us to Kenyalang but wow, it was a Kenyalang I've never been too. When I told Dylan and Adrian bout this they looked at me as though there was something wrong with my mind. Haha. The place was nice. Hidden behind the Kenyalang stores. Had sweet cha kueh, salty cha kueh and the best of all, cha kolo mee. The tastier kolo mee I've eaten in my short 17+++ yrs and if not mistaken my first ever cha kolo mee.




So Adrian wasn't lying just to get me to go Kenyalang after all. There were seriously DVD's late at night at Kenyalang. Please don't laugh, it's been awhile since I've been to Kenyalang and I think it must be like more than ten years since I've gone to have a walk at Kenyalang at night.


The shoe walked in.

It's here in my house. My Nike id customized shoe. Straight from the factory just for me. Had it done nearly two months ago. Since Manda came back early from US and missed the shoe, her friend Caroline had to bring it back from me. Ever so greatful for the shoe I am. Haha.

At Long Last..

Finally, it's official. I have claimed my Mr.Kuching title or rather it has been given to me by Ben and some other guys but Ben has put it up in his blog, www.macbennn.blogspot.com.



Ok so maybe it's a bad picture. I thinkthe camera adds on like 20 pounds and the angle was bad . But what I'm trying to get you guys to see is the yellow stripe that says MR KUCHING.

A day like the old days




It's been awhile since I've had a day like the good old days. Haha. Just like the good olddays, woke up this morning tired to crawl all the way to the school basketball court. But obviously I didn't literally crawl all the way to the basketball, just a figure of speech. Anyways, it was a fun basketball outing. Playing with form 2 kids. Eating in the school canteen : a bowl of tomato kueh tiao and a sausage wrapped with bread.


Playing one on one, one on two, just like the old times. Thenhere comes the greatest tradition, a long nap after basketball. Got back home and straight away went to bed. Wow it's like the best times to snooze. Your body is sore and longing for a good rest. After the quite long nap, it's shopping at the Spring . Well just hard disc cases though. There at Pc Image there was this aggressive woman who bought laptop fromt eh shop attacking the storekeeper verbally about the new laptop which i think was a compaq presario.




But anyhows fed myself four tokiwados from Magic Bite.


Got home had fish and chips.



Coming to think of it, I had fish and bread. Look at the picture above, visualize the chips replaced by bread and you'll be seeing my dinner. Haha.
Then later had fun at orchestra then went straight to Song Hin pork porridge at Open Air market for supper. All in all it was a predictable day but somehow it was nice because it felt like a walk down memory lane or some crap like that. ;)

Yay a new space!!


Yay now I have a new blog which is nearly identical to the old one. Hehe. The old one was under ayahoo email. Since blogger is owned by google and yahoo and gmail are in a war, I'm like the pelanduk caught in between two elephants when they fight. Haha. Now I have control over my blog again. Logging in when and where I feel like it. Taking control over my own sidebar and layouts. Now this is my new home on the net. ;)

Tiring but fun day!!

Basketball as usual on a Saturday morning?? Nopes!! Alvin was back and instead of a more fun and exciting basketball outing, it seemed to be yet a boring day of basketball as not many turned up to play. Again as usual people who have just come back from studies miss kolo mee. Alvin insisted on going to the coffee shop to have kolo mee. Today, i actually resisted kolo mee and instead just had a bowl of soup made of seaweed and cabbage. So proud of myself. Alvin followed me back and we hanged out. Then at night, I had a fun time at our reunion dinner.




Even then, I had a bowl of soup and chicken caesar salad. Trying to shed a few extra pounds. Got back home after a long night and now putting it all down on words. Lately hve been more focused on the class blog instead my vain blog. Haha. ; )

Whic will get the better of me??




Seems to me like this semester break I'm spending in Kuching is really just a battle of calories versus exercise. Kolo mee, laksa, basketball and badminton. Well that's just a really short summary of what calories and exercise meant. Been eating like there's no tomorrow. It's like 3.01 p.m and here's the list of what i've eaten today: one kolo mee, wanton, 2 popia, 3 pieces of KFC, a few pieces of pizza and I guess there's lots more to come. The only thing that might save me from all these extra calories is exercise. Been playin lots of games these past few days. Badminton in the morning and basketball in the afternoon. The question is, have i burnt more than i eat?? Only time will tell. In three more weeks we will know. haha.



The 'P' Era begins...

Long long ago, well maybe just nearly seven months ago I was a hardcore passenger. A pure passenger who knew nothing bout how the car is driven. Then in December I got myself an automobile Guru 'Ah Ma' (Mdm. Lai) . Now most people looked down upon my Guru cause my Guru is the only female instructor at Kota Semarahan and some more the oldest one. But don't judge a book by it's cover. Look at Master Shi Fu from Kungfu Panda, he was small and old, but he turned Po into the ultimate dragon warrior.Don't compare me with Po cause you know 'm like a thousand times better looking and all that. You know... Haha. The point is after a few Sagas, a few Kancils , an 'L' license renewal, and many ringgits , I am now a certified 'P' driver. Remember, don't judge me by my 'P'. I mean P practically stands for protocol, procedure, and process. Anyways I got a 20/20. Perfect score. How many people have done that. I mean Brendan has but who else can say they have??? Anyways I have obtained the 'S' license long long ago. 'S' stands for skills. Now I have all three 'P' , 'L' , S '. It simply spells please. Please let me drive. Haha.


Am I ready for my driving test??

Hermmm.... sitting here blogging in my own blog and the class blog, I totally forgot all about my driving test on Wednesday until I was listing things out to put in the upcoming events place. haha. Well maybe if I had been driving as much as the time i've been spending in fornt of the computer maybe I would be a pro. Anyhows, I'm confident in myself ace-ing the test. The hill, the side parking, the three point turning, and the road should be ok. Maybe prepare a bit of bribe with me?? haha . Anyways will be waiting to pass the test so I can drive the two cars at home.

I know, they're not the greatest cars or maybe even great cars. But would you rather walk?? With the petrol price at wad , RM2.68 I'd rather drive and pay for the petrol of these two cars compared to a BMW or a Benz. Don't under estimate proton cars. Tomoro will be my last lesson before my test. Maybe I should give my instructor a scare on the road. haha.

The traditional Intro...

So far going through tonnes of blogs, i realised that most blogs have a short introduction post about the blogger or about the topics that would be discussed. Maybe it would be nice if I too had a introduction post bout myself since I hope this blog to be about me n things or people around me. Ok so I'm a guy. Let's get that straighten out. On the 21st of November 1990, the world felt that something great was going to happen, it was me. I was born into this world.That makes me eighteen this coming November. Of course throughour this 17++ years i've gone through multiple ups and downs and now i'm studying at Universiti Teknologi Petronas(UTP) in Perak. Previously I studied at Tadika Sri Keria, St. Jude Kindergarten, SRB St. Joseph and then SMB St. Joseph. I come from a family of five. Two sisters, a mother and a father. Gosh I feel as though i'm in an interview room where thay start with a crappy question, 'can you please introduce yourself and your background'. HAHA. So I guess thats all I would shareso publicly as on a blog. I mean if you know me and ask I would say much more but then it's not nice having too many strangers knowing too much about yourself ;)
