Laundry Bar@Curve

Well well, wanted to booze that night since I was a little emotional. I wasn't expecting to booze since there are only a few of us whom are willing to fork out money. Went to SS19 for dinner. I didn't expect the word "Tai Chow" refers to dishes like fish, vegetables, tofu, pork and etc. Tai Chow is the word used for fried rice, noodles and etc isn't it? Anyways, Chen told me that those fried noodles, hokkien noodles, fried rice and etc are under "Sai Chow". Confusing or was I using the word wrongly all the while?

Called Huey Ching up for booze later at 9pm. Our destination was Library. Sad to say that when we reached there, it was fully packed! Like seriously packed you know. Looks as if people were buying booze like there's no tomorrow. We had no choice but no head down to Laundry bar. I was told that its freaking expensive there. @@!! Lesson to learn: Please hit the bars earlier...maybe before 9pm?

A bucket of Heineken at RM78.20 including service tax. That would be about RM20 per person since there's only 4 of us. Expensive no? Its price is as equivalent as Bangsar's pubs haha. Music is pretty okay. Talking about Mist... Ever since Fly FM took over, their tracks, beats and all are mainly the ones from the radio station which you'll be hearing everyday. Boring! Instead, our Huey Ching states:

"Ohh my gosh, Laundry Bar plays better music than Mist Club". Quoting siut...

Girls' Generation - Oh!

SNSD (Girls' Generation) has released their 2nd album Oh!. Yeah, I was like "Oh! shytte" this is awesome stuffs. They are my favorite Korean pop group. Another friend and I was like discussing about Girls' Generation on how they gather most of the good looking girls into one group. Do they have a filter tap or something? Who can sing and who can't sing? Haha, it doesn't really matter to me for now. If I'm really into it, I'll have to listen closely then. Anyways, good job SNSD! 5 stars :)

Hectic day

Dad comes in the room; "Son, wake up! What time d!?"
Marcus replied: "Dad, I've got errands to run today. Gotta head back to school to certify my documents. Had to go to SS13/1 to collect my parcel from PostLaju and etc...
Dad: "Alright then, see ya".

Goes back to sleep till 8.00am...

Told my supervisor the day before that I'll be late for work cause will be doing my 'pengesahan' sijil-sijil in SMK USJ 4. Here's my routine:

On the way to SS13/1

Ever wondered where is this PostLaju Malaysia? It's located beside the road behind the 3K building. This is where they keep your parcels, postlaju, bungkusan and etc if they fail to hand the parcel to you when you're not at home.

Parcel from UniMAP!

After that, went to Perry's to photostat by results and certification letter. The sad part - I told them to sort out each photostatted results. Damn, they go kumpul everything and staple. Geram betul. Have to take out each set and sort them out again. Waste time!

Finally it's done!

Last but not least, back to my high school...

Extreme Magazine Jan Issue

Did not have any work today. Just went round checking blogs and Facebook-ing all the while. Haha, if only I was paid to play Facebook...gosh I'll earn so much. Went to BB Plaza in the afternoon after lunch. Btw, my lunch break is 2 hours. So friends, if you happen to be around Imbi/Bukit Bintang area, you can call me up for lunch. It's from 12.00pm-2pm. Went into MPH Bookstore to check on the latest magazines for the month of Feb. Cleo's Feb issue is out. Haha, I remember reading something about '11 reasons to stay single for now'. I shall get my hands on it soon.

Talking about fashion magazines, what about car magz? Yeah, I wanted to get one. It was between these 4 magazines:

1. Hypertune
2. Extreme
3. Top Gear (in Chinese wthh)
4. Pro-Tuners

Extreme magazine did caught my eye mainly because of the super hot model and the contents of it which looks pretty interesting. This is my 1st purchase of a car magazine. Although it's a Jan issue but who cares when you have not explore anything inside it. :)

Fut-sal!

Played futsal at Sportsplanet yesterday afternoon with Sidharth, Yao Huang, Ken Boon and a few others. Pretty good game although I was out of stamina at one moment. Crap man, this sucks. My stamina has deteriorate since I stop exercising after high school. Used to jog like crazy at USJ 4 padang just for Larian Jalan Raya. Manatau masuk Uni d...habis, sudah menjadi satu kemalasan yang teramat sangat haha. Oh well, I'm up to something now. Most probably starting in February. Hopefully I'll be able to live up to it!

Meet up with two of my ex-classmates from 5T. It's been quite some time since we met. Been procrastinating about meeting up...and finally it happened haha!

WWF Superstars

World Wrestling Federation (WWF) is like one of the best entertainment of all time back few years ago. I remember watching it when I was std 6. As I was browsing YouTube videos, I bumped into one of the RAW vids. I was like "Woah, this brings back memories". Started watching The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H and all over again for the past 2 days. But wrestling was at its best during that time, but for now...not anymore since a few legends left wrestling like Stone Cold and The Rock. Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit has passed away. For the rest of them, I'm not sure where they've went. My favorites are The Rock, Stone Cold & Shawn Michaels.

The Rock

Shawn Michaels

Stone Cold

Chris Benoit

Eugene!!! Hahaha

Divas
Not forgetting the Divas whom has entertain us all with their dramas and special moves. Still remember who's Chyna, Trish Stratus, Stacy Kibler, Lita , Tori?

Chyna

Trish Stratus

Lastly, enjoy one of the best fights of all time :)

Closer

Had mamak session yesterday with Yao Huang, Sidharth and Lindley. Woah Lindley, after so long baru wanna tunjuk batang hidung. Belagak la now haha. Joking la. We all know you're really busy with life. Understandable :) Anyways, work has been pretty boring. I hadn't been doing anything this week. Thank goodness I have some new documentation to read. Could use the notes for my weekly log book report. Photostatted most of my certs and documents to be certify by SMK USJ 4 on Monday. Gotta submit all of them by next week. Maybe I'll use DHL or some other courier service except our Postlaju since post laju is not even laju.

Gahh, I don't wanna return to UniMAP. This is enough!!

Ok, I took this picture at Bukit Bintang cause I personally think that it's really lost in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. Why would Sunway advertise in such places when there aren't any water parks in KL? Potong stim ni. Unless you're taking the Klang river as an example haha. One word = sesat!

Computer Engineering at IPTA

The theory is proven right. I had a viral infection few days back and it took me about 4 days to get rid of it. Well there is a little cough and flu later, but the sore throat and fever is gone. So yeah, there is no point going to the doctor and taking antibiotics that does nothing. Btw, I'm fully recovered already so let's hang out shall we?

Things have been going pretty slow for me. Busy with application forms for local university and getting my documents ready for submission. Looks like I'll be heading back to SMK USJ 4 to certify my photostatted certificates and etc... Felt really bored this week since I'm not given much task to do. Damn, I'm afraid I would not be able to write my weekly report for the week...

Anyways, here is my list of local universities selected based on their priorities

I do know that some of my friends were asking about me heading back to UniMAP. Well, here are the few reasons why I've decided to return to UniMAP.

1. UniMAP's degree for Computer Engineering is recognized by EAC and MQA
2. 3 years of degree with 1 year credit exemption. For other IPTAs', UTeM and UTM offers 1 year credit exemption. The rest requires you to do a full 4 year degree programme in regardless of how many subjects/credits you are exempted.
   
3. It is a lot cheaper compared to private universities offering engineering programmes such as Monash and Nottingham. I cannot afford to pay RM34,000 - RM37,000 per year for education. Even with scholarships + PTPTN, it would still be a burden for my parents. Local uni degree programmes are about RM2.8k per year only. See the difference?
   

Painful as it is to return to UniMAP, painful as it gets to leave my comfort zone, is something I had to sacrifice once more. I did so much for my diploma with only one intention: To get myself out of UniMAP and never again return to this place. My efforts are wasted... What more could I do...

70% recovery

It's the 4th day already and I'm almost recovered...like almost. Currently having a little cough + flu. My fever has subsided, not fully of course but good enough for me to move around. Been drinking lots of water to keep my body hydrated. It looks as if I'm replenishing my loss body fluids which I've not been doing for the past few weeks.

As for today, I just rested at home. Wanted to do some house chores which I've been procrastinating for the past few days. Tomorrow! Tomorrow la...next week la! Lol, and it never comes. So thanks to my mom, I've decided to clean up my desk this week. Here are a few items that I took out from my drawer.

Carved by Jason Yong Jun Xiang in year 2005. I don't know where did the idea came from, but I find it eye catching haha. So I asked him to carve one for me. Been keeping this for the past 5 years. This day, I knew that it was never ever gonna happen anymore. Thought for a while...and then I decided to break it...

Metro bus tickets haha

Skating ring tags from Sunway

Woot!? FGA USJ bulletin since 1998! WOW

Down with fever

The Marcus is currently down with fever. I'm suspecting the causes are my throat being injured few days back. I have no idea how I injured myself, but I do know that I was spitting blood out from my throat 3 days back. Anyways, I did not consult the doctor because I wanted to prove that the theory is correct.

The theory explains:

Sore throat is divided into two groups which is the Viral infection & Bacteria infection

Viral infection:
Usually the common ones among those whom are down with sore throat. Basically, sore throats due to viral infections are cured in 3 days time. After that, in which you are experiencing extreme pain in the throat and high fever, it's time for you to see the doctor. There is no significant cure for this except to let the antibodies in your body to fight off the virus.

Bacteria infection:
There will be white spotted dots on your tonsils. These signs indicate that bacteria is breeding in that area. Your tonsils will be swollen and intense pain is felt in the throat. Antibiotics works against bacteria and not viruses! Remember there are times when your doctor gave you antibiotics and you have no idea whether you're actually having a bacteria infection? It might be viral infection all the while since viral infection is so common.


In my case, I knew I wasn't near to bacteria infection because I'm down with cold, slight fever and there is no pain in my throat. Furthermore, I'm not spitting thick green mucus, which I assume is the pus from the tonsils if you're infected with bacteria. Anyways, this is just the 2nd day. If tomorrow morning I'm still experiencing high fever, then I'll consult the doctor.

My solution:

1. Drink lots of fluids especially water
2. Gargle with salt water about 2x a day. Damn I should have tried 3x haha
3. Take plenty of rest. Avoid outdoor activities
4. Taking paracetamol to reduce my fever. Not more than 6 tables a day of course.
   
5. Warm bath to cool down your body. You've gotta shower trust me!
6. Take simple food like bread, milo or biscuits which are easy to be digested
7. Food! There are times where you don't feel like eating anything. The situation may worsen cause your stomach will began excreting acid which causes wind. Wind = Vomiting. Remember, the stomach needs it even if you don't want it.
   

L4D2@FTZ.Asia

Me and a couple of friends decided to try out Left 4 Dead 2 at Rock Cafe, Sunway. It's funny. Aidil called up Rock Cafe and one of them said that L4D2 has been installed. When we went there yesterday, it seems that there is only L4D. Does that dude understands the difference between L4D and L4D2? Ishh waste time ni. So we went to FTZ instead, hoping that there will be less people + L4D2 + no lag connection.

To my surprise, the game went pretty smooth. There is some delay of course when the horde is attacking you and etc... FTZ used to be our favourite place for Cyber Cafe, but nahh...their PC's are not well maintained. Worst, so many DotA players haha. I'm not anti-ing DotA alright.

What's new in L4D2?

Special infected:
Chargers - They'll charge towards you. Once pinned, it'll keep smashing ya till someone kills it
SpitterGoo - These are like poison Ivys. They spit some deadly acid towards ya. Health decreases rapidly if you stay in that puddle of acid.
Jockey - They'll ride you like a jockey. Kinda annoying cause if you're at the 3rd floor of a building and Jockey comes riding ya, you'll have to prepare to fall to your death hahaah.

Weapons:

1. Chain Saw - The most powerful melee weapon. Deals massive damage to zombies and bosses.
2. Katana - Woohoo, the Japanese samurai sword is here! And more...

SNSD - Girls' Generation. Perfection!!

Shopping yo!

Saturdays, ohh my Saturdays...why do I have to work on Saturdays? It's pretty sad that I had to wake up so early almost everyday just to do my internship. Macam hari sekolah je...lol. But I do enjoy my working place now in the sense that I work like few hours and spend the rest of the time on Facebook or other websites. Still searching for the best university for computer engineering in Malaysia. It's almost done. Soon, I'll publish it in a picture format.

Went to MacD's yesterday for ice cream + chor dai dee (known as Big Two). It was Sidharth, Syekit and I. Chen and Kevin came a little late as he was stuck in the jam at Pyramid

Syekit, Sidharth & Chen

Kevin & I

Intruders of cell phones!

Him playing the TorchLight game. Copy Diablo one lol

This morning, parents asked me whether i would wanna join them for shopping at Sogo, KL. Woah shopping! I need to get a fabric belt! Maybe some shirts too hopefully...haha. Forced myself out of the bed and off I go washing up. Let the pictures do the talking yeah...

Short sleeved dress shirt from PDI

The famous Fish noodle soup at Jalan Tiong Nam

Shitakanai

Yesterday was a terrible day simply because of the fire bomb being thrown into 3 churches and the extream jam which took me 2 hours & 30mins to get home. Haihz, I just don't get it. If they want to protest, just protest and don't do anything else which might instigate war. If the word 'Allah' is prohibited for non-muslims, then so be it. Maybe we Christians shall find another word to replace it in The Herald. But there's one thing that doesn't make sense. Why should they damage the churches when some of them are not even involved in the first place? Why are we told to remove our car stickers that are related to Christianity to avoid car damage by protesters?

Does it come to the extend that they will do anything just to protect their rights...including killing sacred animals and damaging the holy temple of Christians? I don't get it...I just don't... Anyways, it's just some of my thoughts related to yesterday's incident.

The jam at Jalan Raja Chulan...

To Subang Jaya. 2 lanes => 5 lanes... How typical...

Took this picture in the KTM... haha

Trine

Trine, a game which I've been playing for the past 3 days at Sid's place. I would give a rating of 4/5 because of it's effects, characters, and most important of all...the power of the physics machine in build in this game. Kinda enjoyed the game cause you could actually play with your friends by adding 2 more PS controllers. Well, you can use the 'USB PlayStation 2 Controller Converter' to connect the controllers to the PC. You can find these converters in most PC retail outlets.

Finished the game in 3 days. That's a total of 6 hours of game play haha. You can choose to play three different characters at a time. So if you have 3 players, you can either switch between Knight, Wizard or Thief anytime throughout the game.

Back to life...

Samsonite Repair Center at Bangsar is unable to repair my camera pouch. Damn sad. It seems that my current Samsonite pouch has a total different zip compared to the ones available in Malaysia. Below shows the two different zips:

Laptop bag from Vietnam

Camera pouch from U.S

As you can see, the first picture is the common zip available in most of our bags, pants, jeans and etc...compared to the second one. Samsonite repairmen said that they don't have the machine to repair such zips. Oh well, good riddance then. I shall get another one soon if I couldn't bear any longer with the broken zip.

Anyone needs this? XD


For all the girls out there, you'll need to learn some serious detail makeup!
