JELLY FISH!!!!


What a day of unexpected events. Firstly it was Anggum who usually come to my house gate in his silver MyVi unexpectedly asking me out . Anggum is full of spontaneity everyday and today was no let down. Here are the words of surprise form Anggum, ' Picnic in Damai'. Damn I was excited. Haha. Then we drove around wondering what to do till twelve plus plus as chester and Julian set that to be the time to go. So we ended up asking Alvin and Adrian to join us. That itself was also unexpected. In the end me Anggum Alvin and Adrian had a dip in the sea. It was however expected of Alvin to make jokes. Then came with the joke, a bitterly surprise. A sting from a jellyfish. I knew something bit me but didn't know what. Alvin went,' what a good actor. haha. holding up your arm to show your muscles??'. Haha it was so funny. Then Adrian got stung too. Haha. And again Alvin thought Adraian was Kidding until we got out of the water and he saw the sting marks. Mine had two lines and Adrian had three. It was a bad sting but it was great for experience sake. Haha





Two pictures of the sting. One with flash one without.Did my best as the sting was on the right arm so I had to take the picture using my left hand.

My new erhu!!!

Maybe the title for this post is not that accurate. I think it should be my very first own erhu. Since joining the UTPOCM( University Technology Petronas Orchestra Chinese Musical) in January or was it February, I've gained some interests in playing the erhu. This semester I actually went back a week earlier just to prepare for some functions. However, I was always playing the orchestras erhu. Well it's ok but having your own instrument is much nicer and here it is, my very first own erhu!!!



Got this erhu in Kuching. A shop called Shangyin near King Centre. The guy running the shop is pretty friendly. Of course they had this peculiar looking erhu with a pink to gold shading. The sound it made was beautiful but it cost 1.8 k . WOW. Haha. Putting that beauty aside, I got this one, for a very very much cheaper price
