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

:)

Back in Kuching..Here's a recap

Hey hey back in Kuching now. Been enjoying my second semester of foundation studies in UTP. Been hectic there and with slow internet lines been finding it pretty hard to blog. And anyways, my physics lecturer says its wasting time to blog when you're in uni. So maybe i'll turn this into an only updated when I have holdiays blog. Hahaha. Here's a short recap on my second sem thus far.

CHINESE GATHERING

STEAMBOAT

Steamboat and chinese gathering, two activities of our own that are not recognized by UTP. By this I mean you get no certificate for participating. Haha.So here's some recognised ones

It's been a fun first half of the sem so fa. Just hopes it gets better and end great with great fun and great results
:)

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.

Hokkien style

After reading a person's lenghty detailed blog of his/her day, in like short phrases ,I though it was not so exciting but felt I could do something similar but funny in hokkien style

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 :)
