Pyjamas Roomie...

Ah....only left one month of staying together with Jing Jing in KL. There was one night that we suddenly wanna take photos on ourselves wearing our "cutest" pyjamas. So, here goes...Actually, it is my "genius" idea that we take a photo acting like we are kissing each other, because we are good good roomie....he he.....but, I fail to do that, laughing like mad, and then the camera snapped (using timer)...

So....a kiss that failed...

2nd Day of CNY...

Aaahhhh......got to work at daddy's coffee shop this morning... ah, no, dun wanna wake up!!

And so, I drag myself to the coffee shop, my job there is to be the cashier, sit at the counter. Jobs including: give changes to waiters, sell cigarettes, and receive customers' complaints.

So, today, the most complaints I get is: Eh xiao mei (same like 'ah moi'), no place to sit d ah? / Got some more baby chair or not? (because a lot of families bring along babies.)

Not difficult to imagine, the shop is full of customers, we say "people mountain people sea":

Sorry for blur photos, because I curi-curi use handphone to take one....scared kena belasah... So, those who cannot find places to sit and got to stand waiting are the "people mountain" and those who are in their seats are the "people sea".....we have some red mountains there...

Furthermore, there are mountains at our most famous stall--Hai Nam Chicken Rice, famous in SP, if I wanna tell people where is our shop, just say "the one most famous of chicken rice one" then people will know.

So many tapao-ers...each person represent each family to come ta pao for the whole family one ar....cheh, never order drinks one if come ta pao....shoo shoo.....

Because of good business in the morning....my skill on giving changes must be FAST....means VIVACE! Got to handle 3-4 very fast waiters at once... so, I come out with some ingenius ideas:

Put a few coins at the desk, 50 cents, 20 cents and 10 cents...this is to let the waiters to get change without even telling me and wait for me to open the drawer and take money... so this is for very small change la... this is easy, just keep on filling the coins on the desk and take those RM1 notes from the waiters...
And then, see I folded those RM1 notes? so from the left most is: 2 notes folded, then 3 notes folded, 4 notes folded and another 4 notes folded. So, when I give changes, I just take the folded ones and I know how many RM1 notes I am taking at once....no need to take one by one some more need to count again see I got take extra or not.... this is the vivace idea no. 2...
Some idea, folded RM10 notes, 4 notes in one stack.....you know oh, when new year time, people got a lot of RM50 notes....drink 90 cents also pay with RM50. So I got to prepare this 4 in 1 RM 10 for this kinda changes... When the RM10 notes finish, I got to break the RM50 into 5 RM10 from the back-up changes....this morning, I break up money from the back-ups no less than 20 times I think.

Combining all the ideas of vivace changing skills: for instant, if a waiter come to me, holding RM 50 note, and say "one eighty (in mandrin)", I will take one stack of 4 RM10, then take one RM5, and one stack of 3 RM1...by the time, the waiter already took the 20 cents coins from the desk. And so, we get the right changes in less than 10 seconds...or 5 seconds...dun know.

After the peak hours....around noon, we have mass of...."black sea":

The whole shop full or indians....is not that I am racist or what, indian kids can really make the place messy...later they pour over drinks....or make until the whole plate of rice onto the floor....etc....the idea is, mostly, when they leave the places....it is so messy, a few waiters said to me: like after dog eating...... swt

So, after a tiring morning and afternoon....

Wah.....banyak RM50....papa, bagi dua keping boleh?

1st Day of CNY!

1st Day, is nothing much.....gets a lot of ang pao....the best thing is....no need to go work in the shop! HAHAHAHAHA....... Every year I got to go help out in the shop during CNY as well.... surprised that this year, it rest for a day!

So, I stayed at my grandma's place during the eve. Talking to grandma until midnight.... She is started to get concern about my "boyfriend"....hahaha....opps, old d.... elder relatives starts to concern about this issue.....help!!..... we talked and talked, until I cannot stand anymore and fall asleep...

Next day, my grandma help me took a picture of me just woke up, puffy eyes....I was planned to put up, but errr, too sexy, better not....haha

So we got up, get ang pao, eat, watch TV....relax....later after lunch, relatives are coming d!

One of my favourite cousin.....he grow taller than I would have expected!

Very timid and shy boy..... ask him let me take photo also he always shying out.....haha, very cute and a good boy.

See my lil cousin sister some more bully him. Poor darling she has got down syndrome, but she is good at immitating stuff....I guess this one, she maybe immitating some magic show or what....have a guess...

hahaha....we all watch her show..... then, proceed to the outside of the house....

Little "monsters" are making a great deal of noise ouside... they play chasing and I saw one climbing over the fence and try to get over to neighbour's house.... Terrified that he climbed so tall....I ask him to come back down immediately....he some more dare to answer back! SO WORRY that he may fall by accident (he is the youngest and the smallest)....I go and grab hold of him and hug him down (by force of course), and then, we end up having a good "fight"....he made full use of his teeth.... the result....he kena marah......wahahahahhaha!!!

In the late afternoon, we all went over to another relative's place.... and I saw a baby cousin brother soooooooooooooooooo cute! The last time I saw him, he was only 2 days old.... The baby boy and his sisters.....little darlings! The baby still dripping saliva....can see?

Ahhhh.....finally! I get to hold the baby.....he got so excited all the time....I had great difficulties to hold him still for the photo shoot.... after a few try....this is the best I can give....others, you can only see I am holding a "blur"....

And then, one minute later....start crying because tired and wanna sleep d.....ahhh.....one minute earlier still so active, another minute....he wanna get his nap d..... pandai betul...

So, at night, again, eat and watch TV, nothing interesting again....

And so, my 1st day of CNY 2008..

Poor Jing Jing...

After the first guitar class Jing Jing took as her co-curriculum.....

She came back and practise...so hardworking... see how she practise...

Ouch! The fingers are hurting like crazy.....

See the music scores that she wrote for today's lesson...

See, all staves got 6 lines instead of 5! This is to note down which string to press in guitar.

Very HUGE drawing of semibreve!!

What is that rest? on the 4th line??

So, today is one day of Jing Jing's history on "First day of guitar lesson"....

Scary Presentation!!

Today I did my presentation for my thesis proposal. Well it is scary....why?
At first we thought we will be presenting in meeting room and now change to the big studio 1.
That means, from 10 listeners, now to 100 listeners.....
All 1st year 2nd year 3rd year and lecturers will be there....except my supervisor....cry...

Sitting there, alone having the light focus...a mic before there...am I giving a seminar?
Nervous until my voice become all shaky....

Anyway, we are suppose to be up only for 15 minutes....
10 minutes presenting, and 5 minutes for Q&A....

Wanna know how is my session?
8 minutes presenting, and 30 minutes for Q&A!!!
So crazy, luckily I respond very pro....(no wonder the time go so slow..such a long 5 minutes)

Anyway, IT'S OVER NOW!!!!!!

At last my room is back to tidyself...

Since last week, my schedule is so full that Jing Jing hardly see me... so my room is in a total chaos again...

Just a brief description on last week...

Monday-spend my whole day for thesis: go to 2 libraries and bring back 5 reference books...
Tuesday-French test, monday too busy, din study at all, but the test is horribly easy, full marks!
Wednesday-Practising clarinet until Jeremy told me no lessons this week end.
Thursday-German test, damn so nervous, expected to be difficult, but turn out quite ok.
Friday-suppose to have thesis presentation, but suddenly, me, postponed to next thursday
Saturday-suddenly got called for studio recording, earn RM50, luckily no clarinet lessons, Ha!
Sunday-finally I can tidy up the room!

I was thinking of putting the photo for before and after, but....it too horrible, you guys dun wanna see....though someone witness it before....why? That person kena ppk by clarinet teacher and need to come to my house for the night...oh no, why is the moment when it is the most messy?!

So here is the photo taken after I finally put everything into place...(can you count how many animals in there?)

see so tiny space I have got, don't even have a place for me to simply put things...

Just when I thought I have done the job for today and very happy with it, and I went into the bathroom......TADAA!!!

I have forgotten my laundry....oh my goodness.... of course I have no time to wash clothes for the week! Adoi overflow somemore.... well there is a washing machine, but, person like me, not at home for the usual afternoons,(in fact, I normally out 9am and back 9pm) scared it rains then got to wash again.... haih, tomorrow morning should be fine...MUST WASH D!!

Flying to Jakarta!

Tomorrow I will be flying to Jakarta to join my 3rd Asian Youth Choir music camp and performances. I am now very excited and not sleepy at all, though I am quite worry for some pieces that is very very difficult. I still didn't work out all pieces!

Actually, I planned to pack up all my things in this week end. Then, my friend who study in France one, came back for holidays and wanted to come to KL to visit me. So, I meet her up on friday night, and saturday morning we went for ice skating at sunway piramid... My friend pakar d la, because she always skate in France also. I am only 2nd time experience, but I am not bad as well, my friend said she is amazed....yeah! Hey, when I was a kid, I pakar roller skates one leh....though is a 2 by 2 roller one la...the old fashion one....

My 2nd time of ice skating is far more adventurous (in other word, scary) than my 1st time. There were altogether 4 accidents during skating....

Accident 1:

I went to skate with Zee Kin and his friend as well... his friend is a first timer, so I hold him once...and then, he fall backwards, pulling me to fall forward on him (we are facing each other), I din fall heavily, but, his leg accidentally kick on my left knee, and of course he is waering the skate....OUCH! now blue black d.... :-(

Accident 2:

When skating, there was a girl beginner on my left side....and she is seriously unbalance and I am sure I cannot hold her when I did tried.....she almost pull me down together, luckily I let go fast when I decided that I cannot help. (Learning from the 1st experience just now).... but then, it still cause me to be unbalance and start to sway to one side.... luckily there is another guy on my right side and I quickly hold him and he help me balance.... so, not falling this time......wheeeeeewww!!!

Accident 3:

Learning from the first 2 experience, I know that beginners=dangerous people....so I skate in the more inner circle, which are normally intermediate skaters. Who knows my bad luck hasn't over yet... A rather daring beginners skate very fast and try to be faster than me, when he try to cut the queue from my right side, he kicked my right leg from behind and of course I lost balance immediately, cause I never expected it... by luck, I still succeeded to stop safely.....

Accident 4:

This is the worst shock for me. By that time, I already can skate in a moderato speed and I am really enjoying it. Suddenly I heard a voice from behind shouting "Oh my god! Oh my god!", before I start to think what happened behind......BANG!! A guy langgar me from behind....I suppose he is an intermediate skater who just know how to speed up, but still cannot master how to slow down and avoid people....so, we both zooming in a presto or vivace speed to the front. Just imagine, I dun know a thing, and suddenly someone hit me, and I am rocketing to the front out of control.....naturally, I scream all the way to express fear and also to warn people in front of us to avoid us....then I change the direction to reduce the momentum, and I finally stop myself keep zooming forward....and, I let the guy alone zooming, of course it is much slower compare to the time when he just hit me.

So, skating is fun, only have one big spot of blue black which is other people's fault.....

Jeremy's Real Bad Day...

Jeremy has had a real bad day in KL on 24th April 2007. I am writing this post not to reveal any personal issue, I only write out what makes Jeremy's day going from bad to worse....(so, I only write things that are not secret ok? can ya? :P)

Case no.1:

Jeremy wanna gets his clarinet fixed by changing a couple of pads. So he contacted Mr Tan and expected Mr Tan to fix it on that very same day, but......

Mr Tan : Jeremy ah? Today no pads here, tomorrow can ah?

Jeremy: swt*

Case no.2:

So, Jeremy got no choice but to come again the next day, but he din bring anything with him besides his clarinet, and he has no place for him to stay over night...

So I am very good and after discussion with my roomate she also agree to let him stay over for one night... see volcano also very good if no eruption..

Case no. 3:

In the middle of the night, I had a terrible nightmare that I am feeling so depress that I wanna die in that dream....but I forgot what is it d...and at the same time, Jeremy awoke and got shocked by my sobbing...

stupid nightmare that happened at the "perfect timing"...

Case no.4:

Actually he woke up because of stomachache and feeling very very hungry... but get scared by me la...ha ha...so he dare not wake me up and he go toilet for very long time until I also awake at last... stomach still feeling very painful and also too hungry to go pang sai...

Case no.5:

After boarding on the bus to go back, feeling completely happy, I suddenly sms him that I will go to MPO concert later(I also get to know this very last minute)... Penderaki's pieces... he feeling totally envy I guess from his sms...He could have stay for a few more hours he can watch that already...

So, that is the story of poor Jeremy with his bad days...let us all wish him good luck whenever he comes to KL...hehe :)
