123456

It was this morning, that once in a lifetime unique timeline passed. It's 01,02,03,04,05,06 which meant 2 minutes and 3 seconds past 1 am on the 4th of May (05) during 06. Such thing will not occour in another 100 years >.<
It was a special moment for me that I took that time to count my blessings and especially thank my friends for being there for me. Yes, it's another emo and eleborate way of saying I did mass SMS spaming an hour past midnight when everyone else was sleeping. ^_^ Except for Shockk who was burning midnight oil for this exams today.
Wish you the best dude.

In the heat of exams

With my exams starting on May 4th and ending on May 6th, you can see that i'm rather stressed out with studying. XD. Now i'm focusing on my Accounting paper, which is on Thursday (tomorrow). Going through all the past year questions and practising as much as i can. This should be the hardest subject i'm taking in this semester. >.<. The other two subjects are Business Law and Macroeconomics which are quite okay. Well, i'm not planning on sleeping until midnight tonight. lol. Yes, i really want to get a distinction for all my subjects, especially Accounting. Although, i'm now very fluent with the subjects already, i still believe that constant revision will always pay off in the end. ^_^. So there you have it. Now i gotta get back to studying... Just can't wait for my exams to be over which is on Saturday, then on Saturday night planning a gaming session with Rusty and Existenz. Something to release stress and relax after some serious brain exercise. >.<

A day at work with Rusty

Finals are over and I’m back in the office again. So, what do someone with the job title “bosses son” do in the office? Here’s a sneak peak on my average day in the office.

7.30 morning.

After a light breakfast of bread and butter with a nice warm milk tea, and flipping through the dailies (the comic section is compulsory to be read), it’s time to work. My daily 30 minute drive will take me 20km from my sweet sweet home in PJ to the chinese dominated capital outskirts of Kepong.


8.30 morning.

The good thing about staying in PJ and working in Kepong is that I’m going against the flow of traffic. Traffic out of Kepong and Sri Damansara is always at a bumper to bumper crawl while I enjoy an easy flowing traffic which permits me to cruise at 90kmh without stopping or at times speed and weave through traffic like a madman. Once arrived, my work begins. As you can see, I’ve loaded stocks into my dad’s MPV ready for the delivery of goods (which was ready on the previous day). So, you can say that I’m a delivery guy. Most delivery takes place before lunch because staff are always in to receive the goods.


12 noon.

Lunch time. Nothing much can be said here other than showing what I had for lunch. Fish head noodles (Yi Tau Mai) is one of my favorite. The lousy thing about this dish is that it’s filling for the moment but wouldn’t last till dinner.



1 noon.

Study time? No, it’s just some material that I need to read for my forthcoming project. Yes, the company do have projects and one of them involves steel chamber and high atmospheric pressure. So, there’s lots of homework and research to be done beforehand. Personally speaking, I’m not too keen as it’s something not even attempted before by any local manufacturer. Secondly, if the project sails, I’m going to be technical supervisor which will require me to baby-sit the project before, during and after commission of the project. Shh… don’t tell my boss.


Basically my work continues till 5.30pm with no breaks in between. Sometimes till 6.30 if there’s over time. On non project days, my work basically comprise of tools fabrication using CAD/CAM software and also basic web designing for the company.

So, there you have it. My job in a nutshell.

Yam & Lin Ko Fusion

Ahhh... Snack time. XD. Now some of you may ask. Just what is Lin Ko? Well, it's a chinese pudding that is made mainly for praying by the chinese. The term Lin Ko actually means auspicious-year sticky-cake in Cantonese (with the term Lin meaning year and the term Ko meaning cake respectively). However, it can be a good snack as well. Here, the Lin Ko is fried together with yam which are the long tiny pieces on the outside. The Lin Ko, on the other hand, is on the inside. LOL. Actually, the food looks very delicious and unique from the outside, which kind of makes you don't wanna eat them =Þ. Alas, it's still food and food must be eaten. Muahaha. So, as you bite through the crunchy yam exterior, your teeth will then sink into the soft and sweet Lin Ko on the inside. Wonderful. Just wonderful =)

Mixed-Pork Porridge (Section 17!)

The ultimate (or at least it is to me. XD) chinese pork delicacy... jeng jeng jeng... Chi-Chap-Chuk! or otherwise known as Mixed-Pork-Porridge (thank you Rusty for the direct English translation from Cantonese. ^_^).

I just found out that near my housing area, there's this stall that serves this awesome delicacy for breakfast. I can't believe that after so many many years, now only i've found this wonderful gem!! lolz. Opens at about 7am and it gets sold out by before 9am. Talk about good stuff!! XD They have fish porridge as well and also chicken porridge, and there usually is another stall opened next to it that serves Chee-Cheong-Fun and some other stuffs.

Review time. XD The porridge is darn SMOOOTH. oh yea baby. really a joy to eat and slurp down. It's how do you put this.. steamed and boiled to perfection. ^_^ The mixed-pork innards include fried-pork-intestines (which is always excellent and this is what defines Chi-Chap-Chuk!), steamed tendons and pork-blood-clots. They lack the pork stomachs and steamed intestines though. However, overall, the taste of the porridge is just so so good. The portion is quite small, but hey... it's for early breakfast, which is just nice. ^_^

Rusty and Existenz, got chance come we go lah. lolz. but i'm not sure what day they close though. just know that they should open almost everyday for morning only. If wanna go, we have to be there latest by 8am. ^_^ quite crazily early. XD
