FestKUM 2009

Yesterday when I was paying for toll, I gave her 1cent coin instead of 10cent coin. How embarrassing but that was at 11.55pm at night and 1cent coin felt exactly like 10cent coin. NOT MY FAULT!

Haven't updated so long because was so busy with 2 major events which were Royals Debate and FestKUM. Today going to blog about FestKUM while debate next time la :p

FestKUM is a festival organised by the Cultural Council of Ministry of Higher Education which organised dances, poems and acoustic music competition in FestKUM 2009. The FestKUM was held in UKM, UPM, UM and UiTM Shah Alam where UPM(Universiti Putra Malaysia) played host for the opening ceremony, UM(Universiti Malaya) played host for the closing ceremony, UKM(Universiti Kebangsaaan Malaysia) played host for the dance and poem category I think and UiTM(Universiti Teknologi Mara) played host for the acoustic music category.

(The place where we performed)

Entry to FestKUM was totally unexpected as I didn't attend the training at all and was a last minute call-up due to nobody available to play the percussion. So with only 3days of practise, I just went on stage and put up some performance of my life. I can't say mine was perfect though.

Nevertheless, it was a fun experience of having to get the opportunity to perform on a stage especially in a competition! We performed 2 songs which were How Do I live and Bossanova.

Vocalist - Shafizah

Guitarists - Ariff and Manaf

Violinists - Jo Jo, Yin Hui, Suhaila

Drums - Gillie / Jerry

Percussions - Jerry and Me

Bassist- Pacak

Personally I love the performance by UPSI.. I think it was amazing :D but I can't say for all since I didn't watch all 18 performances. haha

No idea who this drummer was but he is really good and had performed with famous local acts like Search, Wings and Ramli Sarip if I'm not mistaken =) Everyone was grabbing to take pictures with this dude. So, I took one too. Muahaha

ps: No idea who was the winner.. anyone could give a light about it? [I left the closing ceremony early]

Baskin Robbins Treat

Final examination is coming up in 5 more days. Wow, time flies really fast. I can't wait for the finals to be over! The sad thing was I lost RM100 today when I checked my pocket. WTF.

Yesterday was 31st October. You know only one thing when it's the 31st day of the month, 31% discount off Baskin Robbins hand-packed ice-cream!! So off we went to Baskin Robbins with a rental car, Kancil the faithful to the only place in Kuantan that has Baskin Robbins, the East Coast Mall. East Coast Mall is seriously like the Pavillion of Kuantan. That's why we homies like to hang out around here. Clean air, unlike Berjaya Megamall. Never like that place.

Before we went to cool East Coast Mall, we went to this Chinese coffee shop at Gambang to eat this Lembing Mee. It is like Wan Tan Mee but it tasted different from it. Our driver of the day was Chee Pheng. On the journey there, everytime she has to turn or park, she will accidentally press the honk. It is like telling everyone she is coming. HONK HOOONK

Arrived at East Coast Mall around 12pm. Thought I have to come early as it is always been a huge crowd during the 31st day of the month at Baskin Robbins. It turned out things work differently in Kuantan. There weren't any crowd at all ^_^

Let me tell you in Selangor and Penang that would be totally a different scene. We have to queue up and take numbers and wait for our numbers to be called. This makes me love Kuantan even more. Nobody cares about 31% discount off Baskin Robbins hand-packed ice cream. YAY!

In the half gallon container/box/package (not sure what it's called, hence I shall coin it as box), we had Mint With Chocolates, my favourite Pralines and one Jamaica Almonds Chocolate Fudge(??? not sure about the name). Today Baskin Robbins meal was extra extra special because someone treated me to half gallon of Baskin Robbins ice cream. WOOT WOOT

Let me put it the Mastercard adverstiment analogue,

Car Rental to East Coast Mall - RM37.00

Baskin Robbins half gallon hand-packed ice cream - RM60++

Getting a treat by someone - Priceless

But we soon realised that finishing a half gallon of Baskin Robbins ice-cream in an hour wasn't easy although the ice cream tasted so good. You know how people only eat a lot if they have a worst break-up? She looked exactly like that. The half-gallon of ice cream was placed in front of her giving the impression that she's been eating it all. HAHAHA

I tell you, people who been passing by kept staring at her and the half gallon of ice-cream in disbelief. Couldn't stop laughing when we looked at these people facial expression.

It was an adventurous and a bumper car(would like to write about this but I know the driver is not going to be happy. hahaha) day!

PT performance

Finals coming up soon. Sighs

PT (Pesta Tanglung or Lantern Festival) always seems foreign to me. I never participated in any PT organised by my school. This year participation was unexpected as I performed with the UMP Orchestra Group for the PT.

Our very own Lim Jo Ann composed a song specially for this year PT entitled '光辉 ' which could mean honours or achievement. My Chinese is really bad so I'm not so sure. But rest assured, it means something good though I don't know what it is. Haha

Practised the song for 4 days which was rather fun. I played the strings part for keyboard which was like an accompaniment for the piano. Anyway, here are those who performed

Violin - Jo Ann

Trumpet - Geraldine

Tenor Sax - Wei Yee

Flute - sorry I forgot your name :(

Clarinet - Rebecca and Huoi Ying

Drums - Gillian

Bass - Aimi

Acoustic guitar - Jonas

Piano - Wei Xiang

Keyboard - Moi

In the part of the process, I realised I couldn't play tenor sax which require superior lungs capacity. I think I really couldn't play any instruments that require blowing. :(

I will just stick with my piano then XD

The Pesta Tanglung was quite good in my opinion though the crowd turnout was not as huge as I expected. Most of my friends couldn't come as it was raining that day. Damn you weather. Surprisingly, the food and drinks that were sold during the Pesta Tanglung were awesome. My RM10 well spent ^-^

Pictures!

Me and Rebecca who look like we are siblings. HAHA

Me and Wei Yee

Of course, with the multi-talented Jo Ann! :)

Hyatt Hotel for Sultan Pahang

Just walked back under a very very very heavy thunderstorm. Never in my whole life I was feeling so afraid being electrocuted by thunder. It was incredible horrifying. However, my life wasn't given a flashback throughout the journey wtf.

With over a month practise with the UMP orchestra group(I wrote like I was the star performer where in fact I actually not), finally we will perform for a huge event. The event was dinner for the UMP Convocation 2009 which was graced by Pahang royalty, His Royal Highness Sultan of Pahang with Tengku Mahkota Pahang and lots of VVIP.

We performed 2 songs which were 'Getaran Jiwa' and 'Itulah Sayangku' by P. Ramlee. Oh well, to be honest, I did play few notes wrongly in both of the songs. But the whole experience was awesome! Not sure if I want to do it again :)

I was standing right beside the place where people gave speech. Yes, that's how close I was. They didn't provide keyboardists and guitarists and chairs to sit on. Hence, we ended up standing throughout the whole 20minutes speech as we were too close to the stage. It would be really inappropriate if we sat on the floor right? I almost couldn't feel my legs at the end of the 20minutes T-T

From left to right, Shahrul(Trumpet), Moi (Keyboard), L(Keyboard) and Jonas(Electric guitar)

These are from the wind section,

From left to right, May(flute), Huoy Ying (Clarinet), Wei Yee ( Tenor Sax) and Rebecca (Clarinet)

ps: I managed to shake hand with His Royal Highness Sultan of Pahang. No big deal I know but it's awesome to mingle with royalty once in a while.

Near Taylors College

I went to eat Indian Banana Leaf Rice at Klang. This guy was trying to take the fork and spoon from my table. I handed him a set but he refused. That was when it struck me that, he thought my hands contained bacterias and viruses that will get him infected. Sighs T-T

Since coming back at Shah Alam from UMP a few days ago, my days have been filled with nothing. Didn't go out with friends and all. Life started to get pretty mundane. Prakash told me that there's this korean food named spicy chicken that I must try. He told me that this chicken is so spicy that I might wet my pants upon tasting it. Naturally, I felt my manhood is being challenged right there.

He came up with a dare. I couldn't drink any water or liquids after eating it. I said bring it on. The reward? Bragging rights and a meal of spicy chicken! These are good enough for me.

Off we went to the Korean Street Cafe near Taylors College. It is just right beside the Subway restaurant. There's barely any crowd there but they played some cool Korean music. Nice ambience.

I proceeded to order the spicy chicken. But the waiter couldn't stop himself telling me that the chicken is very very very very spicy. I insisted and the waiter sighed in defeat. LOL

It certainly looks very delicious in this picture. Actually, it's really delicious. ^_^

However, it is not spicy to me at all. HAHAHAHA. I was like really nervous thinking it will be so freaking hot and eat a small bite 1st. Must be safe than sorry, later if I wet my pants how? Turned out it was harmless. YAY!

Here is a closer look of the chicken

Everyone with balls should try this. Prakash wouldn't even touch this thing. He said that the smell of the chili almost made him puke/headache/cry. Well, since he wouldn't try, you know he has no.... Anyway, it costed Prakash around RM5. If you have student ID, you will get a 20% discount, so roughly around RM4.20.

Next, Prakash took me to eat the famous dessert called, Snowflake Bestseller which is just opposite of FTZ.net. This happened after 3hours have passed since I was not allowed to drink any cooling liquids.

Prakash was seen posing at the entrance of the shop. Do you know that, if there's red lanterns hanging in front of a massage parlour shops, it means that there's 'extra' service provided? Extra in the sense of prostitution in case your mind went thinking of other stuffs. WTF. No wonder Prakash love this place. hehe

Ordered this. Snowflake Bestseller which contains cincau, soya milk, ice and taro balls. It's yummy as well but it's tad too sweet for me. Ask for less sugar next time and it will be perfect. Price is around RM 5 I think. Couldn't remember. haha

Finally, this is the orgasmic picture of Prakash enjoying the 'extra' service. He sure looked pleased :)

Emergency Update : Barbaric

Didn't update for so long because the Internet at my place was out for 2 weeks. Sad.

I did this emergency update because I'm damn pissed by the barbaric behaviors of some people at (Universiti Malaysia Pahang) UMP especially at KK2 cafe.

Case# 1

The roti canai guy helper sneezed and green mucus came out from his nose. DISGUSTING I KNOW. Then, he looked like he's going to just wipe it with his hand or with the sleeve of his shirts. WHAT THAT F*CK right? I gave him a long long stare and he probably got the message and went behind to wash his hands. FML

Case # 2

An old man used the cloth that being used to wipe plates to put food on to wipe a dirty table. Subsequently, he put the cloth back to its original place. DISGUSTED.

Case # 3 (TODAY!!!)

A dude was taking food at the cafe when he just started to sneeze. Sneezed for like 3-5 times but he never BOTHERED TO COVER HIS MOUTH OR NOSE. The great part was when he sneezed in front of the food. YES. IN FRONT OF THE FOOD. For this guy, I wish him to choke on his food slowly before someone gives him a Heimlich maneuver.

Well, I doubt so since to be a friend with this kind of retard, you have to lower yourself to his standard right? Probably they wouldn't know what's Heimlich maneuver. They would have thought it's some footballer move or tricks.

HAHAHA. Retards. Feel much better now.

ps: It's so hard to find place that practise good hygience nowadays. Sighs.

Do I have to patron expensive places so that I could enjoy good hygience practise?

psps: With these kind of people roaming around at UMP, do you seriously think H1N1 or any

diseases could be contained or prevented? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

@ Shah Alam

Last week I was back at Shah Alam due to H1N1 holiday at (Universiti Malaysia Pahang)UMP. We have 1 week off but this free holiday is going to be replaced somehow. Last night I had a discussion with Ernie on how UMP is going to replace this FREE holiday. All of our solutions don't seem to work perfectly.

Being at home was trully fun. Did lots of stuffs. When H1N1 gives you holiday and you didn't get infected, ABUSE IT!

Monday - Went Dota with Uncle Heng, Mun Foong, Wai Hong and Ronnie.

Thursday - Went to get STPM certificate and bought 1Malaysia ASB, Dota again with Uncle Heng and Ronnie

Friday - Went for movie with Cupcake at Jaya Jusco, Bukit Tinggi, Klang

This cupcake ah, told her that the next movie will be at 11.45pm and yet she still insisted on going all the way to JJ Bukit Tinggi to watch it. The movie ended at 1.45pm and she said

"Quick go back, I got curfew!" She said, do first then regret later. -__-

We watched the movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" which was quite good. Good movie that preaches to all us to get into a meaningful and spooning relationship. For those who are curious about spooning, it's a position where you hugged your partner at the back when you're sleeping. Let me post a picture to make it easier for you to understand.

Yes, spooning is actually cute and we all should do it =D

So, if you don't spoon, you will end up alone and lonely. Worst of all, nobody will come to your funeral except for your close family. In the end, you could only spoon with your blown-up dolls or teddy bears. Get spooning now! Woot!

Saturday -Went to Secret Recipe with Puff. You can read her entry on this. I got her a suprise by buying her a pink rose with a blueberry cake from Secret Recipe. All I got in the end was she pinching me at the arms for countless time. IT HURT LIKE HELL. Puff, when people give you flowers especially roses, you should say thank you by planting kisses on that person's cheeks. Both cheeks! Not by pinching them on their arms!

At Saturday night, went all the way to Setia Alam with Prakash to see Hippo Mama. She refused to let me into her house even when I used the lamest trick in the book,

"I need to use the toilet urgently..."

which she replied

"There." pointing to the direction of a tree

-___-

Trick 1 failed.

This sums up my H1N1 holiday at Shah Alam. I think I was enjoying myself the whole time and neglected my assignments. Oh well, what's a holiday if you are still working right?

MU: Touchdown at Sultan Ahmad Airport

Just back from Shah Alam, Selangor. Now I'm at UMP, Pahang. The taxi ride from Kuantan Aiport to UMP cost RM35. I'm going to rent a car next time.

Does writing Mini Update as MU make me a Manchester United fan? I hope not. 1st time taking aeroplane in many years. Couldn't really say I enjoy the whole experience because I have dizzyness thanks slightly to this baby who couldn't stop crying and his/her caretaker who kept coughing and coughing. Dear, please wear a mask at least for the sake of other's comfort! You are making me very very uncomfortable due to H1N1 case. Not to mention that you are endangering the baby as well =(

In a very unexpected circumstances, I met Aliff Aziz at the Kuantan airport! I was like.. that dude looked so similar. Have I met him somewhere?

(he wore the exact same outfit except his belt was black this time)

OH YA! He's the one who performed during the Lenka's showcase at One Utama few days back! I went to him and striked up a very awkward conversation.

Me : "Excuse me, are you aliff aizat?"

Aliff : *looked a bit blur*

His mum/manager/idunnowhosheis : "Aliff Aziz"

Me : *fck, I said his name wrong* "I saw you performing at the Lenka's showcase that day."

Aliff : *trying to be polite or he is polite* "Thank you"

Me : *just realised I ruined my chance of taking picture with him* "Nice meeting you"

LOL. Why do I have to end up like this everytime?

In the end, thank you for flying with Firefly, your community airplane. You might even meet some local celebrity too =)
