My pet, Chuck

Behold, my new pet, a MEXICAN RED KNEED TARANTULA (Brachypelma smithi)

a picture of a full grown tarantula (such beautiful and rich colours)

One hot afternoon, after having durian with my mom, Teo Wee Sim called whether i wanna go

have a look at spiders in his cousin's pet shop as he wanted to get a phyton himself (crazy dude) I thought the shop would not have the species i wanted and thought it would be expensive because they're considered exotic pets..

As soon as we reached there, we played with lizards, mice, hamster, green snake, white snake, black snake, phyton and finally, on the shelf, a few tupperwares of tarantulas...... i've found my new pet :) a few of u might know that i had one tarantula bout 2 years ago but died :( SO, you guys will know how excited i was when i saw the tarantulas there!!! Instantly, i bought myself ONE MEXICAN RED KNEED TARANTULA without second thoughts! He's worth 80bux but its standard price...

This is Chuck, my spider :) Chuck is with me in Singapore, thanks to Anthony ;)

He is currently on a cricket diet but i'm trying to find other foods for him to eat so dat he doesn't gets bored with just eating crickets. looking for bread-worms as well

Chuck in his 15cm x 8.5 x 12cm fish aquarium with some terrain :) the bottle cap acts a small puddle of water so that he's well hydrated. The best part of rearing a tarantula is feeding it. I think it's really cool for a predator to actually get ready, scout then attack! will try and post a video if ever i get to record it in time :)

That is all about my new pet! The net says that it has a life span of up to 25 years meaning this pet will be with me till i'm 46 years old!!!! max la...hahahah

Visit BUTTERWORTH, PENANG

Finally i have something to write in my blog :)

Went to Penang for the weekend to visit Cindy Chew Xindee. Thought she had to work from 8am-5pm, she still fetched me from Pacific Megamall. She looked super drained from work but she had to fetch me (xindee, yawning is a sign of disrespect) niahaha!

My bus on Friday (19th June) was at 930am and as i woke up quite late, i made a dash for the bus station, assuring my granny and mom that i've taken everything! Upon reaching the bus station, i realised i forgot to bring my bus ticket!!! MAJOR PFFFTT!! luckily they had the ticket serial number so i called my aunt to search for my ticket's the serial number and i was able to board the bus. Now this bus stops in Pudu to drop passengers BUT their stop lasted for TWO FUCKING HOURS. They wanted to fill the bus with passengers before heading for Butterworth. And the bus driver did not tell us how long we're stopping so i didnt go down to have lunch luckily i had a small piece of choc in my bag..

ONE hour after the bus finally started moving, the bus broke down =.= something wrong with the belt or something like that. Apparently, the bus driver could not repair what was wrong and so we had to wait for other buses to come and help us continue the journey!

I reached at bout 650pm at Pacific Megamall and Dee fetched me at 745pm :) By then, i was feeling faint from hunger so Dee brought me to have char kueh teow and also penang laksa!!! mmhmmmmm...it was nice and i was all happy again :D anyway, dinner ended quite late and so we didn't do much on friday night expect drive around Auto-City! Oh my gawd! How i wish Malacca had a place like Auto-City! So much food and things to do there! On top of the fun we had, Dee is not a very good driver :( she gets lost in her playground! And she stops in the middle of the road thinking whether to turn left or right when there is a car behind!!! ahahah..Slept kinda early because Dee and I was already feeling tired by 12 something :)

The next morning (20th June), we went to the market to have breakfast. Do you know that you can still get a cup of Kopi-peng for 90cents?? A plate of chee chung fan and northern otak-otak for RM2.10?? it's so cheappppp at the market area! After lunch, we headed for a drive around town. She showed me her old school, how she skips school as a prefect and go have fun in The Summit =.= She brought me to Permatang Pauh (woohooo Anwar's area). We didn't do much in butterworth but just drive around :)

Dee trying to shoo off a stupid mosquito trying to take a picture of her driving :P

Finally i managed to take a pic of the rabbit-tooth-cindy :P

St. Anne's church in Butterworth..Enormous church in Butterworth!!

10 commandments on the rock in St. Anne's church

According to Dee, i'm fat..So we went to Hutan Lipur and Mengkuang Dam to exercise.. In the Hutan, i found the BIG millipede and put it on Dee's head! She screamed so loud, even the deaf uncle in the park could hear her and came running to help her :P nah just joking but Dee was really scared of the milipede when i took it on the stick..

Still on saturday, we also visited the Nutmeg factory to get some nutmeg juice for the hawt day. We were unlucky because they were already sold out by the time we were there. And THEN my 2nd unlucky incident happened! i tripped on a wooden box which i avoided but I dunno HOW or WHAT made my shoelace stuck to the box and i was struggling to balance on one leg so that i do not fall into the drain in front of me! luckily i managed to escape from the box but with bloody scratches on my body :( There i was, trying to balance myself, Dee was there laughing her head off!! minutes later, Dee reversed into a motorcycle!! *did i mention her poor driving skills?* PADAN MUKA FOR LAUGHING AND NOT HELPING ME :'( i drove us around from then on..niahahahaha!! soon, it was dinner time and I had dinner in a thai restaurant in Auto-City with Dee's parents which was quite good and the place had a bazaar kinda thing there so we walk walk around..

Sunday came and it was a day of worship so Dee brought me to her church. So happen on that day itself, they were celebrating parents day and it was kinda nice to see the kids putting up performances for their parents :) after church, Dee's parents brought me over to ISLAND Penang! YAY!! 1st stop, was authentic penang laksa and nutmeg juice in Balik Pulau :) it was gooooood..very spicy but good..enjoyed island penang d whole day then headed back to butterworth at about 930pm. My bus back to Malacca was at 12am so need to come back to pack and bathe :)

fresh coconut!! damn nice and coolingggg

I thought Sunday would be an OKAY day since nothing unlucky happened but i was wrong! while I was on the bus, sleeping peacefully and swaying away in dreamland, dreaming about luohan and naked gir... *BOOOP!* ...WHAT??? WHO WHACK ME?? I woke up in an angry state, clenching my buku 555 and ready to whack the person who hit my head so hard! It was so pain i woke up swearing *in my head*! I looked around and all i see was me in the dark bus and the flashing street lights. Every passenger was still fast asleep -__- It took me about 1minute to realise it was just a BAG and not any bag, it's the HARD HAND LUGGAGE BAG!! so painnnn..

I was holding this position for 1 minute or so..Fucking bag..Fuck you bag!!

Thats all of my journey in Penang for the weekend :) I would like to thank Deedee and family for hosting me in Penang as it was enjoyable :) Will be goin to Sagil tomorrow if everything works out fine! Till then, tooddles!! :D:D

very inspiring

thank you liling!! *hugx

just spare some time to watch this...it's very touching....

to help or not to help?

woohooo! finally i'm back home after attending touch rugby training for next year's inter hall games.

was in larkin, johore yesterday to take a bus back to malacca at 7 pm. chilled at mcd while reading LEXEAN, a book that discusses everything and anything in the world from coups in Thailand to the education system in Malaysia. as i was reading the book, Girl A suddenly approached me, representing a charity organization, asking for donations. she blabbered out everything in mandarin which i could barely comprehend and when she finished talking, i was like "huh?" -_- but i did understand a lil that she wants to collect donations to buy pampers for the disabled ranging from RM 35 to RM 55. i told her i did not have enough money and gave her 5 bux out of goodwill. so i continued reading my book.

10 mins later, Girl A's friend, Girl B came up to me asking me to donate again! now Girl B was very persuasive. she stood quite close to me and gave me a few nudges on my triceps. i was like "errr excuse me can you please stop that?" she made me uncomfortable when i stick close to the wall, the wall and me nearly became one. anyway i told her i had already donated and i will not donate again.

at 630, i decided to walked to the platform to wait for the bus. and as i was walking there, Girl B approached me again asking me to DONATE!!! (knnccbwtfmhshkbkbbbqsauce) she followed me for a few minutes trying to persuade me to donate. my broken trolley bag did not help in my attempt to run away from her. it came up to the point where she said something i felt disgusted. because i told her i did not have enough RM to donate, she told me i could donate a combination of SD and RM!!!!! SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK MAN. (ps: i did not tell her i was studying in singapore) i smiled politely and continued walking while telling her i do not have enough cash at hand. thank god she never ask me to donate in NETS. i will end up slapping her. so she left me after i stood firm on my decision of not donating anymore.

the second incident struck when i was already in the bus. a guy suddenly came over to my seat asking whether i would like to put my bag in the top compartment and i said no. he continued asking whether i was alone and i said yes and conveniently sat down beside me. he told me he was an ex-convict, just released that day and wants to go home to malacca......STOP!!! REWIND!!! ex-convict?? honestly i do not have anything against convicts but the fact i was scared because i just took out my psp to play. i was so scared he was gonna point a knife at me and take my valuables. come on peeps, it's johore, infamous for robberies and theft among students.

apparently, he just wanted to ask me for some money to buy a bus ticket back home to see his family. phewwww. what a relieve. he told me he needed 7bux more to get a ticket but i told him i could only help him by giving him 3bux. he tried to squeeze another dollar out from me but i told him sorry i did not have enough change to give him. he shook my hand and left after that.

giving donations to people in need and helping to collect donations from the public is a noble thing to do but till what extend would you do it? how far would your hand reach out? will you donate all you got? (financially or physically?) would you succumb to their sad story and help them? i admit that i am quite stingy when it comes to giving donations now because of a simple reason that i am still a student. in future, when i have the means and ability to donate, i will!

process of learning~~

this is what i learned from my english tutor:

This is about learning.

The more you learn, 

the more you forget.

The more you forget, 

the less you learn. 

So, if you don't learn anything, 

you won't forget anything

That's PERFECT!!

thank you mrs chan :P

NUS Raffles Hall concert- Rendezvous

hi it's been long since i updated my blog and some people have been asking me to post up pictures about what have i been doing here in NUS. recently, just about three weeks ago, i was part of a magnificent and awesome concert as a cast member in my halls of residence (Raffles Hall)

my cast members.. aren't we just so colourful? :)

and this is the website that the whole committee came up with :)

http://www.raffles.nus.edu.sg/0809/concert/rendezvous.html

anyway, we had practices from 8pm-1am every night for the past 9 weeks just for TWO important days of performance. Tears were shed, anger were released, mid-terms were gambled and sleep was sacrificed.

me and derek (my good buddy) smoking a "cigar". oh we had smaller cigars during performance day.

Ultimately the CAST friendship was formed (the best gift you can reap out of concert) by all and now we the cast member are super close knit together :) first of all, we had to go through a series of dancing, singing and acting before the committee choose there cast members. out of 50 people in their list, 15 were given the privilege to stand on the stage and perform. I was one of them :) if you have visited the website as above, you can see that i play the role of MR. JAMES PEACH- a rich ass with a young wife (trust me my wife is as man as you are guys in real time i mean-sorry crystal-). so, from my name, everything about me MUST and SHALL be peach in color. anyway, they say that the directors choose us due to some special criteria we have eg dancing, singing or acting. in the music department list, we were separated into two groups; applicable to sing and not applicable to sing. and there were only two names in the not applicable to sing list

both of us trying to convince them that we can sing for crying out loud!!! we failed terribly though :( sigh..derek's timing was off, my keys were wrong...

anyway, as mid-terms were approaching and concert to, i had a hard time balancing both and as soon as i get back into my room, i would study study study. don't want to gamble my first exam in singapore you know. in a nutshell, i'm quite happy with the marks i got for mid-terms.

one of the scenes from the whole concert.

the fun-est part was during practice where all of us enjoyed ourselves, pushing the sky-high limit higher into space. my directors say that i sound singlish at times and my enunciation are to be corrected. because of the influence of our malaysian society, i had loads to improve on.

this is a video of san lee (my course mate and cast member) trying to walk like a supermodel or actually trying to act bimbotic ;) haha enjoy the clip. it speaks by itself.

another picture from a scene..even my pyjamas is in peach colour!

then came concert day, the day we've been waiting for. the feeling you get is awesome. anxious on how the crowd would respond to your funny antics and jokes, surprised that awaits you on stage and worries that you might miss a line or two in the whole performance.

first up, is make up. GOSH they put like 7 layers of foundation on my face as they do not want to see a single scar on your face! all my pimple scars were covered and you can really see the difference between the neck and face!

pei lyn (behind me) is my costumer, responsible to apply make up on me and also prepare my clothes to change during scenes.

final product of make-up

i hope they come up with the whole performance video so that i can grab a copy of the performance and show it to you guys back home :) and and and, we will be producing our own album of songs from the cast members somewhere around this year! damn happy la i got album (although i cannot sing)

all in all, the performances for the two days were great. the audience were happy, the alumni was happy, the concert committee members were happy, we were engulfed in joy and happiness!!! i really do not know how to convert my feelings into words. all i can say is just, wow...wow *hands clapping*. nevertheless the training were tiring and exasperating at times but if you were to ask me to join concert again next year, why not? :) i'm positively positive that it will be another great eXperience for me.

below are just pictures
