Childhood memories - capsule station

Remember during the olden days, when I got to the grocery shop near my house, I was sure to cry for a capsule ball from the capsule station. Mom of course will give me 1 ringgit for the capsules. Mystery gifts were containing in the capsule which was attracting some small kids. What you need to do is just pur the coin in to the capsule station, turn the switch 720 degree and a capsule will drop out from the station. And you canc claim your mystery gift inside. Sometimes you can get some cool toys, but sometimes you will obtain some toys that you dislike (pulling mummy t-shirt for another turn again).

Last weekend, I went shopping with my family again. I loitering around 1U and I found this in front of Toys' R ' Us. It woke my childhood memories up again, I having an idea turning the capsule station again. Anf of course I saw the mystery gift was the favourite comic characters during my younger age, Dragonball.  I found out that normal coins do not for the machines. So, I changed some coins from the counter and start tuening the switch. 1 coin cost RM 4 and I changed around 5 that cost my Rm20. FML!!! I spent rm20 for capsule station, not good to let my mom knew that his son was wasting money again.

The first ball came out with a GOKU (Son Goku - Dragonball main character). The gift wasn't my targeted one but I still ok with it. I targeted a Super Saiyan 3 GOKU.

Second ball came out with a combo of Goku, Gohan and GoTrunks. The tow balls above costed me rm20. FML!!! I gotto cut my two balls of already to seel for rm20.

Ready to get some work done with my new capsule toys. Fix them up!!!

And lastly they were fixed and now they were staying at my brother toy's chest for their rest of their life.

Stay tuned

CHKL 90TH ANNIVERSARY GRAND DINNER

First of all, thousands of congratulation to my dear ex-school CHONG HWA INDEPENDENT HIGH SCHOOL (CHKL) had reached a milestone of 90 years old. It had served this country for nearly a century and producing a lot of good and highly educated students including me of course. It was not easy to maintain a school without the goverment support and thousands of thank you again to those who supported CHKL for past 90 years. Hope the school woll continue the good job for the following years.



This was a top view of CHKL. Located at Jalan St. Thomas, Off Jalan Ipoh, KL.





To celebrate the grand anniversary of the school, the board of director had a great plan to held a grand dinner at the school. Why was it called a grand dinner? This was because about ten thousand people will be attending the dinner with purchasing a ticket for RM50 and the money will be donated to the school improvement fund. As an alumni of the CHKL, of course I will give some support to the event of the year with action, purchased tickets for the charity. Actually, I wasn't planning to attend this event, but last minute plan again. Thanks to Teressa again, rang me up for the dinner. Of course the same things happened, I was late again. Picked her up sharp at 6 pm and heading towards the school.





When we reached the school, it was so packed. The guest coming in were more than the students studying in CHKL. It was awesome. The teachers and staffs were busying for the day, walking here and there, helping some parents to find their table and ushering the VIP to the grand hall. The red polo tee was a teacher on duty on that day. She was the BM teacher during my fourth year in the school.


See the crowd. CHKL had become the the busiest place of Jalan Ipoh for the day even it was a holiday.



Actually. the dinner named as 万人宴 in chinese, means that 10k people feast. Of course CHKL got enough space for the 10k crowd. 7 basketball court, 4 volleyball court, the hostel canteen, the parking area, the grand hall (VIP) , every compund of the school was occupying by tables and chairs covering with tends.


Projector and ampifire was everywhere to let the whole school compund what was happened in the grand hall. Let them watch the love performance through the projector and hear the specch by the VIP.




The menu of the night

1. The Five Happiness
2. Crab and sharkfin soup
3. Prosperity chicken (not mcd one)
4. Thai style fried fish (sek nad)
5. BBQ pork knuckle (I thought halal one, Lmao)
6. Boiled Ming prawn
7. Ikan Bilis fried rice
8. Longan Ice (dessert)

You can get those progamme of the day by viewing this handbook. I regret that I never stole one for rememberance.


And the highlight of the day was, I met her. She was one of my closest friend during my high school days. We had not meet up for a very very very long time. She was very very very busy with her assignment, until I feel guilty to call her out to have a cup of tea and chit-chat. Thanks for accompanying me the whole night, if not I will feel freaking boring through the night.

You know why our prime minister Najib photo was hung on the main blokc of the school. Because CHKL was proud to invite our beloved PM for the grand dinner. Of course they are serving halal food for the VVIP. I got no chance to shot a photo of our PM, because I wasn't a VIP that night. I think cash is the only way to make you into the the VIP area, because most of them sitting inside were donating more than don't know how many thousands Malaysia Ringgit. I just earn a chance of sitting far far far away from Najib (PM was sitting in the grand hall and I was sitting on the edge of the school next to the KTM railway off the fence) by paying just RM50.

Hope to attending the feast again in the coming anniversary and I will be sure that I am sitting the table beside Najib (if he still leading Malaysia) and take photo with him.
stay tuned!!!

Seeking my twelfth angel

I wasn't blogging for the few days, because I was busying finding my twelfth angel in a book called The Twelfth Angel. For your knowledge, I am not a bookworm actually. Reading of course is not my cup of tea. I can't even read 3 pages before I fall asleep but for this time I had spent 2 days to finish the whole book (222 pages). Remember the last time I finished the whole book was the whole series of Harry Potter (I forgotten I spent how long to finish it).



John Harding - the main character of the book, had a almost perfect life. He was the world second largest computer company senoir manager. His carrer was so bright and a wife (Sally) and a children called (Rick). All the pride and succesiveness of his life had gone in a sudden after the death of his wife and son in a tragic accident. All about now in his mind was to end his as soon as possible with a pistol in his drawer. Before he could pull the trigger, his best freind Bill had showed up himself and asked him to coach a boy little league baseball team - The Angel Team. Hope and purpose once again regained in his life, after meeting the children in the baseball team especially the non-athletic type Timothy. He was weak and small in size and not so good in baseball but yet he was still someone important to the team. He was a person that never ever give up although always finishing up with all kinds of failure. Timothy the twelfth angel of the angel team had pulled Harding out from the hell.



The book was written by Og Mandino, a famous inspirational author.


If you are facing the biggest failure in your life now, please read this book, it may saves your life!!!

If you are having a great success in your life now, please read this book also, you don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe the biggest failure is wating us tomorrow??? Who knows...



日复一日，在每个层次，我会越来越进步

提摩西（TIMONTHY NOBLE）


p/s: ignore the date in the photos. I forgotten to set the date again.

still there, eat and eat

Before the trip, our macha Jason was kept on mentioning about the scones at Penang Hill, David Brown restaurant. He said no matter how what he want was scones. Fml!!! Actually, eating scones was not a big big problem. The biggest problem was we need to wake up early in the morning travel hundred feet high above sea level in order to get scones in our stomach. For those normal people wasn't a big problem to wake up early in the morning but not for those dumbass mutant that they are hard to wake up in morning. Even they were up, they were just lining on the bed instead of bath. FML!!!

So, that morning cb was the first who woke up and he woke everyone up, and we all giving full cooperation. All woke up and bath without any dealy. And we manage to eush for the 9 am train to Penang Hill and reached there about 10am. Yeah, we made it, we made it to the scones.

Yawning in the train way up to Penang Hill because the train was really really slow. Fml!!!

Reaching soon!!!!

10 am sharp we reached the peak of the Penang Hill. Got a nice view of Penang on top of there.



Here we reached the strawberry hill-David Brown restaurant. And I got the feel of having a English brealfast in England. So classic!!!

You don't want to look at the menu because the price is very very expensive. Later you will know what expensive food that I ordered, but most of them didn't ordered anything except scones.

Hang was camwhoring with my new OAKLEY sunglasses. The one I get from Kek Lok Si.



Scones. The food that I rushing for. A small bread serving with jam, better and cream. Fml!!! I was a bit dissapointed with scones but not after i tried it. And the price of one small scones is Rm6.00 excluded the tax. Yeah, it is pretty expensive.

The scone is a small British Quickbread (or cake if recipe includes sugar) of Scottish origin. The original scone was round and flat, usually the size of a small plate. It was made with unleavened oats and baked on a griddle, then cut into triangle-like quadrants for serving.

Oat porridge-appetizer of the breakfast set

This was what cost me rm30 for. Just a normal breakfast set. One baked tomato, some omallete, a slice of bread, a sausage, a pieces of bacon and two slices of papaya for decoration purpose. I think I am paying for the environment instead of paying for the food.

They went back to Line Clear again for Nasi kandar. Fml!! Why they like nasi kandar so much??? The above picture was Hang rm14.40 nasi kandar and he cannot manage to finish it.


Hang and Jason trying their best to finish the whole plate.


The Nasi Kandar lover.

I still prefer CKT and ice kacang.

The End of Penang food hunting.

Hunt for food again

Why why why??? Why there are so many food there in Malaysia??? fml. Again Penang post about food. I am sory again, because once again I will make you hungry, make your stomach growling. This was the second day of trip and we were still non-stop eating, talking cock. Everything going well except Hang the weak one, not feeling well and taking some rest in the hotel and of course he miss out the fun. And later there were one more member joining the weak dumbass group.

Claypot chicken rice recommended by Chin. Taste not bad, but I prefer the one in Kampar. Normally, they won't put egg on the rice, but this stall put egg on top of the rice. Anyway, I like it.

Seriously, we really can whack a lot. Maybe this was the factor some of the member fall sick. Eating too many different food and mixing up in the stomach and putting out some watery shit for many times a day. YUCKS!!!

Pork Satay. First time I saw in my life. Non-halal lo...so sorry. Later on, Hang telling us some cock and bull story again about satay.


Ikan Bakar.

When you are visiting cendol is a must try food.

Especially this one near the komtar there. I forgotten the address already. But I am sure you can find this out by yourself. It was in a small street and there are few cendol stall there, but please find this to make sure you have the good one. Don't worry if you cant find it, the crowd there for sure will lead you to the stall naturally.

There are some kind of enjoyment when you having a icy cendol under a hot sun in a crowded street.

Just watch how fast the uncle preapring the cendol...

Thats the way to earn money. Uncle earning cash you know, don't play play. Uncle don't know got how many Benz in the garage.

Before leaving the hotel, we already asked the receptionist where was the best Nasi Kandar in Penang. Then we get an answer "Line Clear". And after few hundred step of journey we reached Line clear (near komtar).

Chin was rushing for Line Clear because he was staving the whole time.

And we reached the small alley there and we found it. LINE CLEAR NASI KANDAR.



Nasi Kandar is a popular Malaysian dish, which originates from Penang. It is a meal of steamed rice or nasi kunyit (yellowish rice), and served with a variety of curries and side dishes like fried chicken, curried spleen, cubed beef, fish roe, fried prawns or fried squid etc.The word Nasi Kandar, came about from a time when nasi vendors would kandar a pole on the shoulder with two huge containers of rice meals. It is just like a guy using a long pole to carry two big pail of rice and curry on his shoulder.

Keropok my favourite food. Can't eat without this. It was nice when dipping with the curry gravy.


My Nasi Kandar. I can't managed to finish it because the portion was quite big. Maybe I should't scoop to many rice and dishes at first. what a waste man!!!

Later on, we have our tea time at this place. I forgotten the name of the coffee shop already because what was in my mind that time was to eat as much as I can.

Very very famous Char Kuey Tiao (CKT). We wasted a lot of time to find out where is it. We ended up with hiring a cab to reach that place. Actually that place was just a stone throw from our hotel. The best things was just in front of us but we don't, we only knows the one which far away from us. Human nature. Actually, our stomach was still full when reached there, but we still trying our best to consume as much CKT as we can.


You know what. This CKT wasn't cheap. It cost about rm7 per plate, but you will find out that this quite to eat. The reason is there are really big prawn served. The CKT served with shelless big prawn (bigger than 50 cents). You can't find this in KL, unless the stall move to KL.

More more Penang food hunting post coming up. stay tuned. BREAKFAST AT PENANG HILL coming up.
