Kau Wong Yeh Festival

So the rainy season has been telling you over and over again to bring your umbrella from home, to wherever you go. If you realise, for a short period of time, maybe, towards the end of October, it was raining heavily, consecutively, for nine days. Yes, nine. 9.

No it's not an excuse for you to play with or in the rain. It's really worthless to fall sick when it comes to my age, coz you'll find yourself missing out on alot of things which are going on while you're away, sleep in or resting. Really.



Guess it's time to blog about the 9th Emperor's Festival, also known as the Kau Wong Yeh Festival! On the eve, pOp asked the Ampang people to come out for a photoshoot at the Kau Wong Yeh Temple. Also we got non-KLite.

No I didn't bring my camera out.
No flash gun ): But, screw it.



Ewin and Victoria came Ampang too.
Together we got Bryan, Jason Ong, Jason Goh.





Seeing this reminds me of the incident of being conned.
WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF. WTF.

As we were doing our prayers, it came to the very last stage where we gotta bring along those stuff like incense paper and joss papers to this really huge fireplace to do massive burning.



As we were coming out from the temple, making our way to the fireplace, we were approached by a bunch of ......... #!#@!%#% *fill in the blanks* to write down our Chinese surname and stuff on a piece of paper for prayers and to give blessing to the family etc. We did. On the red coloured 'blessed' paper, and they then stuck that paper onto these humongous coils and started mumbling.

.... as in mumbling words of blessings etc, as we held a candle and lit up the coil. Everything sounded so nice and I thought 'wow, so nice of them!'.

As soon as they're done and they said, '10 bucks thankyou, you may pay over there' .... I was like WHAT. Four of us got conned, and we just came to realise that it was a freaking scam after everything was done. Out of package service, so called. wtf.



Nevermind, RM10 only, it was for blessing.

It's for blessing, it's for blessing.
It's for blessing, it's for blessing.
It's for blessing, it's for blessing.

*self-comfort*

It's for blessing, it's for blessing.
It's for blessing, it's for blessing.
It's for blessing, it's for blessing.



Oh, did I mention that we missed out on the parade? Our initial idea was to join the parade and check out those stunts and performances. But we missed out on those, all these years it's always being held at night, but I have no idea why it turned out to be as early as 7pm in the evening. Yes, we missed it ):

Met Xiowei and Melv, went yumcha after that.
More of like late night supper ;)

Boy, you're my temporary high

Late night conversation
among Wendy, Sher Hann and I

Sudah lewat malam ni
I'm here rolling on the bed sana sini
log on & saw ur update terkini
"Jom kita berpantun" really shocked me...

Sure this will fascinate Kathy Bob (LOL) and others a lot
although its way to push ur 'highlights' to the top but
lets put... this to ...a stop!
else everybody will LOL until their pants drop
U, me & sher hann will soon get ur heads chopped

Wishing u sweet dreams from afar
late at night now, pls dont steal from the cookie jar
and leave no more scratches to my car (>.< )

i created umpteen scratches on your car
but it has been polished and fixed so far
you and ah gor need not to worry lar
its me driving so you gotta expect it to go calar

sherhann is really a trendsetter
people now rather write pantun than letter
maybe everyone else should try harder
to make their own pantun better

its to stimulate our mind
from our daily boring routine life
macam-macam pun boleh write
this is getting addictive, right ?

listentoalison can be very decent
pantuns flooding my updates recent
poems worth more than rings and diamond
happiness fixes a broken hymen

now my head has the pantun rhyme rythm spinning
just whenever i start reading anything
thanks to sherhann started this pantun thing
make me write pantun whenever i wanna say anything

thank you my friend suetmei thoo
our pantuns are the new deja vu
maybe u can bring this to twitter too
stop syok sendiri-ing me and you

omg we gotta stop with all these man
faster go to sleep and say amen

its just like singing,
but its all in writing
indeed its worth more than anything
and added lots of laughs in

come to think of it,lets all keep it going
creating more and more posting
to share our thoughts & feelings
instead of nonsense postings

all of you better go da bau
my mommy asking me to eat tau sa pau
and sooner or later i'll knock out
you all better stop with this liao


Then, I started to kacau Benjamin (benben!)

hello benjamin come lets berpantun
baru satu hari tak jumpa you sudah miss out alot pun

berima-rima bersama rakan.

or else ur life's gonna be super boring
whatever it is still good luck with your rushing (:


For Jason!

hello jason ong my kawan karib
when is our next pot luck, bbq and crashing crib
drink liquor, get wasted and dont sleep
sharing secrets, play truth or dare or maybe even trick or treat

maybe we should change this to a better situation
nevertheless you gave me much tolerance
thank you so much for being so patient ♥

Between Sher Hann and I

suetmei thoo, kawan budiman,
salam sejahtera saya ucapkan;
inilah pantun yang telah janjikan,
希望你看了会喜欢!

kenapa ber-emo pagi tadi?
selalunya senyum overshine matahari!
beritahulah saya apa terjadi,
esok belanja you bread and honey.

sekarang sudah rangkap ketiga,
ada berasa sedikit dahaga;
dslr you sudah lama tak jumpa,
bila you ma...hu ajar saya?

how is law school so far for you,
orang india cina dan melayu;
dua cohorts dijadikan satu,
bersama-sama bermula year two.

cepatnya masuk rangkap kelima,
kawan macam saya susah nak jumpa!
hari jumaat hari mulia,
human rights, equity and trusts sahaja!

hari ini sunshine tidak begitu cerah,
aku pun beremo-emo pagi tadi sudah,
belum makan bread, jam dan banana,
sebenarnya i tengah tunggu lunch dibeli ayah.

ayah saya sudah keluar
ibu saya kat subang jaya
saya sebenarnya banyak lapar
takde kereta boleh pergi ke mana

kuat kelaparan tinggal kat rumah
bread, jam, banana pun tiada
jangan beremo di sini sana
just compare your life with life saya!

okay fine i skarang pergi buat nasi,
jangan compare your life sana my life sini,
alternatively you boleh pergi masak maggie,
kalau tak mau lebih baik tunggu mati.

oh wait, lunch is now back at home,
you too better not sit and stone,
i'll go eat now and leave you alone,
worse come to worst get someone bring you to DOME!

hello kawan! lols.



And, between Wendy and I

Have to carefully jaga my perut lately,
Hence only bread & egg tiap2 pagi,
Sure thing must visit subang for pork mee,

Dear oh dear pls do not miss me,
Nanti I sakit hati,
Til we jumpa lagi,
Pls say hi to daddy, mommy and susi for me! ♥

Untouchable

No point of me showing you the previous post of the unsealed pints of Baskin Robbins sitting quietly in the fridge. they came out for a short 'walk' thou.

i took them out :D



green tea, me love ♥

well, just to let you guys know a lil update about me over the weekend, since everyone's complaining ive been missing in action and it seems that no one has seen me around for a very long time.

life's a bit off track, and luck is not really on my side. a lot of issues going on around, major and minor ones but i guess i'm coping well, afterall, all i need is to sleep in and not pondering about anything for the mean time.

need to get back to reality! not that ive been dreaming over the weekend but, it's not easy to accept the fact of a death in the family. sigh. my deepest condolences.

Baskin your Robbins!

Nope, I'm not attending All-American Rejects tonight. reason, being lazy. and the postponement few weeks back really got me disappointed and lost interest.

the excitement's gone ):



And there you see, my three pints of Baskin Robbins Handpacked Ice-Cream sitting nicely in the freezer. Dad insisted to buy while I was out to my lunch appointment and groceries shopping. He's craving, konon. I bet each pint is lesser by half right now.

I've gotten ...............

• Chocolate - Ever since 1945, exclusive Baskin-Robbins extra rich chocolate ice cream
  
  
• Pralines ’n Cream - Vanilla ice cream with praline-coated pecan pieces and ribbon.
  
  
• Green Tea - Green Tea ice cream made with green tea leaves.

a Pint is now RM17.20,
a Quart is RM31.74, and,
a Half-Gallon is RM60.72,

....... all after 31% discount.

Have you gotten yours? If not, better get it now, as in, today!
You've forgotten? It's 31% off today (:

One of those days

i hope its just the 'one of those days' period of time which i have to bear with. things have been very very depressing and demotivating lately. sigh.

struggling for time to juggle with studies and other stuffs. down with fever then flu, then cough, and now all comes back to nose blocks and coughing again. barely had enough rest, i need some breather. no, not really.

sometimes what you need is nothing but the special attention just for you, need not be extravagant but from someone special, or even some people that you care most will do.

but who would have thought so?

Jeremy's 20th

picture credits to bryanlyt, mynjayz, flyguy, mojosh

This is one lucky dude here. The friends and even some newly acquainted gathered one night to plan all these things out just for him on his 20th! Weeks of planning and the girls went thru all the hassle and got him the cake, the pressie, and also gathering every possible attendees. Very nice bunch of friends he has.



We ended up in TGIF Pavilion instead of 1U, due to AAR's concert got postponed and stuff. And, that was the dish shared by Joshua, Jason, Bryan and Nigel if I'm not wrong. LOL. Kiamsiap.



Xiang's starter - part of the two or three course meal.



And, I was sick. Hence, no fried food. Didn't want pasta, too filling. Opt for Chicken Caesar Salad. Gosh, I would say nothing beats Chilis' Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad!

Yucks. vege. I din finish that humongous portion of vege. I almost choked on vege!



Birthday cake time!
As usual, the hoo-haa stuff by TGIF Crews.



Groupie! With one or two of the crews, and all other bloggers. Let me recall their names. I shall go one by one ...

Joshua, Pui Yeng, Evelyn, Angel, Amanda, Jessica, Samantha, Jason, Nigel, Samuel, Xiang, Bernard, Bryan and last but not least, the birthday boy himself - Jeremy!

.... oh wait, Joseph joined in at thse very last camwhore shot!



once again, happie birthday jeremy!
the end ;D

Scissors, Paper, Stone

The forth week is approaching. Time's traveling in a very fast pace that three weeks have gone since the start of LL.B Year 2.



Things have been going on great, especially bonding with the new classmates. Feeling awkward initially but as time goes by, things got greater. (:

But she is my old classmate. Sheroarrrr!!



A whole new thing is that, we have an optional module this year where the majority of the class chosen International Law. About 40 of them.

I wouldn't say the ones chosen International Human Rights Law would be some rebels. But yeah, I'm one of those minorities. 13 of us.





I find things have been quite interesting for IHRL, except that we don't have an Austria/French/German lecturer for our subject. Whichever nationality he belongs to.



Fridays - Activity Day.









Work of 13 Human Right 'Activists-To-Be' .... Haha.



Tutorials started for the term, which means, no more going back home early or stoning in AC for 2.5 hours!



Pretty tedious I would say, comparing to Year 1. Ain't that fun anymore. Well, think it's time to brush up!

But, we do have some awesome moments too! (:
More about Law School some days soon.
