My Thing

The internet connection was down due to congestion a few days ago and i didn't manage to get myself connected to the world. But, it doesn't mean it is the end of the world. I tend to tell myself not to be too reliable or dependable on things because it would only make someone more vulnerable. Better to be versatile and adapt to the things available around you. That would surely make you a survivor in this harsh world.

Anyways, i had fun throughout my holidays.

Saturday ~ 21 Oct 06
Woke up in the morning and had breakfast with my family before we left for IKEA to "window shop" (but it is not always the way it turn out to be). IKEA is like the place everyone would have already set foot on or might want to visit one day. It is like the "Thing". It is so hip-and-in. But i kinda grow sick with the things they have. Not all, but some. It is so typical and you can find it anywhere. I remember one year that my siblings and I was so obsessed with everything IKEA until we can pin point out which piece belongs to it and we can even tell the price. After a day of walking, we were so exhausted and couldn't walk anymore. We proceeded home right after that and had dinner with my granny. My dad made us Asam Laksa. Although it wasn't as good as you can get outside, but i know the effort in it has already brought out the taste of the food.

Wasn't doing much on this day. Went to my friends birthday party. We had steamboat for dinner. And the highlight of the night was the cake. Secret Recipe's " Chocolate Indulgence". Meltz ... was sooooooooo gooooood ... Actually i have nothing much to talk about this day as it was kinda laid back. Slow day it was.

Had made an appointment with a friend, 2 weeks ago. At first, i was sort of looking forward for it, but then this feeling slowly disappear when the day was approaching. So i picked him up and went to 1U, as it was around his place. I bet i was a little tired that day and i acted kinda blurry. He looked bored and a little disappointed but what can i do ??? Say " I'm sorry i have something urgent to do and i have to leave now?" It is so mean ... i wouldn't have done that. So i sticked on to it till the end. We would have expected this to happen somehow and not wish that it will turn out smooth everytime. After lunch, we went to an Anime store. Actually Anime isn't my type of tea. But for the sake of being nice, i followed. I was always tagging along. From store to store until finally he asked whether we should go back. I said yes. At the carpark, as we were walking towards our car, there were cars tailing us, but we looked dumn and lost and circled around so that the cars won't get our parking. We stopped when we got sicked of it. Sent him home and planned for the evening. Called my Leo Buddies, Keat Lim and Shiew Wei and asked them out for a movie. They agreed without thinking twice and we decided to go for a horror flick "Silk". Was sorta new from the other horror films, fresh plot and HEY ... know what ... they even relate ghost with science.

Climbed up unwillingly from bed still feeling pain on my buttcheeks after the shoot on friday. My mom asked me to get myself prepared as we were heading to ChinaTown with my uncles, aunties and grandparents. This short tour around Petaling Street brought this feeling of Spring Festival in me. I felt like Chinese New Year is just around the corner. The trip to ChinaTown was solely on eating. We ate and ate until we fell falt on out tummy's. From Curry Laksa to Prawn Wan Ton. I felt bad about eating so much as i am sure that i am going to gain an extra few pounds. Gotta get back to gym to pump some irons and to get myself back in shape. Later, my grandpa suggested that we go to a hot spring. Hot Spring was so much fun and HOT ... i wet myself, was sweating like a pig. But it was so relaxing. Luckily i didn't dip myself into that spring, if not i would have two hard boiled eggs, a steamed sausage with some chinese fatt choi. Choy ... Went to Leo meeting, but turned out that they have postponed it to the next day. They tried to contact me but can't get through my DiGi line ... sux ... i went there and waited for 20 minutes before i decided to leave for home.

Line connection wasn't that good yesterday, so i tried going online the first thing after waking up. Managed to grab hook of sometime online to check my mails before i have to go for a Hi-Tea at Star Hill's Jogoya with my aunts. I promised them that i will treat them if i get the casting job. But it was equally shared among my cousin and my brother too. Buffet ... i ate so much and i felt so sick that i nearly puke. It was bad ... but i enjoyed spending time with them ... chatting all the afternoon. I also found out that my uncle's dog is gay because it would get arroused when touched by my uncle and not my aunty. He he ... Finally i did some revision for my work in the evening ... just some ... sufficient to make me feel good ... then in the mid way of my revision ... got a call from my former secondary school friend asking me to go out for a movie ... i agreed without thinking twice ... and voila ... i am going for a movie and i am skipping 2 hours of maths ... gosh ... Yi Yang ... Yi Yang ... what have you turned out to be ???

*I apologise as i am having slight techincal problems with my blog, so it is why i can't fit some of my pics in between my lines. As a result, i have to leave it all up here until i am able to make changes.

All happy and jolly ...

Shooting Process
Co-ordinator, other casts and Me

Producer and Me

MakeUp Artist and Me

Am really tired today. Very! So drained out and exhausted. What a day! Haven't experience this for somewhile. But the day was fun, great fun for me.

Woke up this morning at 10 past 6 and got myself ready to go to the office of the production company. Reached at 7.30am and changed into my costume (my own clothes actually) so that i can meet the make-up artist(Sandra). She did a great job on my face, covered all the loop holes and made me look like a doll. Wonderful. But it was kinda fake and girlish. Maybe more like a clown than a doll.


We went to the shooting venue that is located nearby to start off shooting before things go behind schedule. So, we start of without delaying. They did my shot first. My first shot was to hold this packet of biscuit. Then i have to pull a biscuit out of it and look amaze. That shot wasn't that hard for me, as i am used to all this funny facial expression. Things went well at first. I took around 15 minutes to finish my first scene. Then came the harder part. I was assigned to bite the biscuit and then fall over my back on the grass. It was too dangerous and i did hurt my back a little. So, the director asked me to just sit on the ground and lay back on my waist. That was better. But i was getting a little tense at that moment, because the move was akward for me. How can you bite a biscuit and then lie down straight after that without tasting it. As if my tongue is equipped with super sensitive reseptors. I bit almost 5 packets of biscuits. That took us some time around 30 minutes perhaps. They had to take the shoot from above and by doing so, they attached iron bars the height of 2 human to shoot me. It was so dangerous. I was done in 45 mintues.

Then they quickly prepared the props for scene 2. It was the picnic scene. They took it at the same venue. I was there to help out a little(or to say being a busybody).

Then came my brother and cousin. We met up with the other extras. They got themselves ready and we proceeded to Damansara Jaya to take the college shot. Their shot was more enjoyable as they have more cast and extras in the same scene. Unlike mine, where i had to finish it all by myself. Boring ... but then, i learned a lot from all the people ... Thanks to the director(Nur), Producer(Kat), Co-ordinator(Kwang Yew), Make-up Artist(Sandra) and all the camera crew. They all thought me a lot and they were a whole bunch of fun. Very nice people.

When we were doing the college scene, the director found out that they need more extras, as the view was too empty. So i became an extra too for that scene. Was nothing much, just plain walking. But i was more than happy to help out. This has given me a great opportunity and experience. Met a gang of nice talents too. Worthless.


Director and the rest of the Talents

After the shoot, we(casts and extras) went to 1U for a drink. We went to Chilli's as we can refill the chips and juices. Chit-Chatted and went wild. Laughing like nobody's business. Shared point of views and the reason they came for casting at first. The feeling is so undescribable. Marvellous!

This is really a good page in my life. Very interesting and i hope that more would come in my way. Looking forward to the commercial that is going to be release in November. Wouldn't forget this memorable first time.

#PS# I think that it is going to be aired on Ntv7

Wanted to blog for days but then i am too tired to write ... i didn't really studied the pass few days, feel very guilty of my actions now. Should really be determined in my work. Sana kata nak rajin, sini pulak kata berdosa. What crap !!! Hmmm ... but sometimes things come at the wrong moment. Distractions, unforseen ...

It happened last friday, when i returned from replacement classes from my uni. I drove back with a very uncertain feeling, as i received a sms offering me a job few days before. I then noticed that my cousin sister was offered too. So, we dressed into proper attire and set for the place. I was too lazy to drive, so i asked my brother to tag along. I was kinda nervous, as it is one of a great opportunity for us all. This wasn't my first time. I tried but got turned down. So this is a chance that i should grab.

We reached the office in the afternoon and we were asked to fill up the forms given. So we wrote whatever necessary down, and waited for our turn. They also gave us a small leaf of paper with a few lines on it, and we were asked to act it out. I was so nervous, as there were so many people - girls, guys - all boosted with confidence. I said to myself, this must be a tough one. I dressed up quite comically that day, so that i can impress the people. When it was my turn, I walked up, say 'hie' and introduced myself. They were quite impressed after looking at how i wore that day and it left them a very good impression of myself.

They asked me to introduce myself again, but this time to the lens. I was so nervous that they can see my hands trembling, yes, shaking vigorously. So they asked me to relax and read the lines out when i'm ready for it. So i read it line by line. I did it in quite a funny way, and they laughed out loud. I was wondering, are they going to take me? So i did what they asked me to perform. Next came my cousin, who did well too. Lastly, we asked my brother to give it a try. After persuading for some moment, he decided to dare the challenge, and went for it at last. We went home that day, and were told that they will inform us when we get the job.

I was waiting for the call through the weekend. Wasn't really praying for it, but just hoping that it will turn out the way i want it to be. I received a sms on Monday while having lessons saying that i made it. I was dumbstrucked. I got it! I was given the chance to be on air. I am going to be on tv! Yahoo! Tv commercial ... not as an extra (also known as "keh leh feh"), but as main cast. My cousin got a role too ... as an extra. Guess what, my brother who didn't wanted to cast also got a role. Everyone was filled with joy. On tv ... Woo Hoo ... I can't believe that this is happening to me. My dream of being on tv is fulfilled.

The commercial is on Julie's biscuit and the commercial is divided into 4 segments. College Scene(1 main & 4 extras), Field Scene(1 main), Office Scene(1 main & 2 extras) and Picnic Scene(2 main). I think that i am giving out too much information on this. So, to cut it short, i am chosen to go for the Field Scene, and that is like ... Wow ... i'm doing it solo ... Gosh ... !!! What a great opportunity for me. I have to appreciate and give the best out of myself. Yes, Yang can do it!

We were asked to go back to the office on Wednesday(that is today) to try out outfits so that we would pick the right one to go on tv. Besides that, we met the other casts and extras that are going to be on the commercial too. Shooting will start on Friday and i would be the first one being filmed. Hmmm ... Just can't wait for this wonderful experience to happen this Friday. Will share more of my experience after the shooting. Will try to snap some pictures to upload here.

Have been kinda busy these few days. I have to catch up with what i have missed out for the last year. Sorta forgotten what i have studied before, so it is like i have to start everything from scratch. Hmmm ... back to the busy days ... but i hope that it would pay off. It was kinda hard for me to get on track as i have been used to the idle lifestyle i had spent for the past on year. Famiy and friends keep reminding me that i am no longer in holiday mood and i have to get my butt going like the rest of the people. Yes, they are right. I have to. Sometimes you won't even know what you are doing until someone come and give a knock on your door. " Hello pal ... you'd better get back to work before your cousin who is 8 years youngerthan you get to graduate with you." Wake up buddy. Time to work! So, getting back to work means having lesser time to shop, watch movies, dance, yam cha, chat and BLOG ... aiks ... Opportunity Costs.

Since, workload has been increasing lately, i am afraid that i would not be updating my blog as frequent. But i will try to squeeze some time to write. Besides that, i have also committed myself to some work lately. So i'm goin to be a very busy man. Hope to see results soon ...

My dad came home that day with some gifts from his Japanese business customers and we were so attracted to it. I found out that Japanese people love giving gifts whenever they meet people as a sign of courtesy. Japanese are people who provides one of the best hospitality in the world. Perhaps it is the way they are brought up or even because they want to compensate for their wrong doings. (No Offense) They would usually give sweets or biscuits or local delicacies. But for me, i rather go for French and Italian. C'est plus delicieux!

But trust me their packing is well-presented. Although the food is not as good as the packing, but it is worth paying for the outlook. You wouldn't want to open it. It is too nice to even hold it. Maybe that is their strategy. To sell the design and packing and not the 'inside'. They have much more better looking and presentable gifts.

This is also something. There is something like the horse-racing map, but instead of horses, they have Sumos Wrestlers. With all the names and stats of the contestants. People can place their bet according to the ones they adore. Cool ... Looks like the Sumos also need some publicity too, like the geisha. He he ...

I was looking around the pictures in my folder when i remembered doing photo shoots with my sister last weekend. It was so much fun. We switched on the player, setted the camera to auto-shoot mode and we started posing in front of the lens like a model. Wahaha ... and this are some of the pictures i personally think has a funny effect.

Pictures are all taken separately ...

Was thinking what to write for my blog again and was wondering whether my way of writing is too "formal" and "dull". But it is a way of practising my way of writing and improving it. The idea of being a novelist had also once came across my mind, so it would be good to start it formal and creative.

Was having chemistry lesson with this mad lecturer of mine when i came across this joke ... imported all the way from Italy. My host brother, Guido told me this joke while in Florence. Just imagine, an Italian guy who can't really speak very well in English telling a joke to a Malaysian guy. This particular scene is so exotic and rare. It took him sometime before he can finish his joke. I thought of sharing it with my friends and all the people, since it is quite a funny one. This is not a clean joke and i suggest those under 18 or without parental advice to leave this blog alone.

There were 3 tiny little worms who stayed on a woman's body. They gathered at her belly one day and decided to go off for a trip at its own for a week. The 1st worm went to the woman's breast, the second to the anus and the last to the vagina. They spent their holiday for a week and met up at the belly again sharing their experiences with each other.

Worm 1 : I had a wonderful time and i spent my week at a deep and dark valley. I enjoyed it there but the place was sometimes damp and musky. You can even see the mountains erupt at certain periods. Was great! What about you (Worm2)?

Worm 2 : Me ? Mine is even better. It is cosy and tight and dark. But the thing is that i keep smelling odd odours every now and then. But besides that, everything was perfect. And you (Worm 3)?

Worm 3 : I had the worse holiday. It was fine on the first few days in the cave. Everything was calm and relaxing. But things happened after that. I was taking a long nap one day when a big worm woke me up. It was acting very fiercely and i bet it was angry. It frightened me. It came in and out of the cave rapidly non-stop. IN-OUT-IN-OUT. I was angry too because it was diturbing my holiday, so i scolded him and asked him to stop annoying me. It was so fierce and it went so red and finally it spitted on me. How scary!

Time goes by very swiftly ... we would have turn into old rags before we even realise. That is why we must treasure and cherish every moment in life so as not to regret in our graves later.

I was walking out from the bathroom this evening after a long day at uni, when i heard someone messaging me on MSN, i walked towards it hoping that it would be someone for good this time, as i use to get all the "Hie"s at the wrong time of the day. Hmmmm ... when i opened the box ... voilà ... my uncle sending me a file ... i clicked on the SAVE button and waited for it to load ...

It was ready before i went for my dinner at the dining hall ... and guees what ... i got a picture ... an old one, full with memories. I was not touched but i felt rather funny, as how can someone so small grow up to be as big as i am now. It tells a lot in the simple picture ... all with different reasons to be in or out of the picture. It is just wonderful, a scene in my life ... captured and etched in the minds of the people in the picture.

It wouldn't be possible to post it on my blog if it wasn't for my uncle Sean, credits for him. And also not to forget, my lovely grandma who dug all the valuables from her treasure chest.

This picture wasn't all. More came after a short while, flooding my screen. This time pictures of my uncles and aunties taken during their teens and youths. It is sometimes funny how people talk about their old times ... all boasting about how good they look, how famous they were, how clever they once were. All sorts of things! Some even claim themselves as the "Golden Sisters and Brothers" of their taman. (that is what my mom told me) ... kononnya ... but they really look quite stunning in the old pictures.

Everything grows - from the age, the mind, to the soul and even the size. My aunt must have enjoyed eating.

Many things happened during the past, happy ones, sad ones ... but all of them encountered it together, side by side, supporting each other at times when they need each other. Living life the best out of themselves.

No matter how one would age or grow, one remains young forever if they want to be so, because it is us who make the decision, not the others. Be Young at Hearts.

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing


I came across this MV in MTV today and hey i like it. It is I Don't Feel Like Dancing from Scissor Sisters. This song is somewhat like a combination of the 70's & 80's. Hope that you guys would enjoy it too.

It is a holiday today and i feel kinda moody. No idea why. Maybe it is because of the weather. Woke up real late today in the afternoon, went for lunch and got back to my physics lab report. I took a hell lot of time finishing it, but then i am quite satisfied with the outcome. Beyond that, my day wasn't that cheerful.

I watched the new series of "6 Feet Under" on HBO this evening and then i found out that life is sometimes pathetic. The way people die, the conflicts, internal struggles ... all sorts of problems that may occur anytime in life to anyone. Maybe it is the show that caused me to feel so depressed. But i enjoy the movie, cause it potrays the "real life". I do sometimes feel like there is something missing in my life, a part of me that i am still searching for every moment. It is very subjective, like an illusion, a hallucination. You can feel it but you don't know what it is. It is kinda annoying for not knowing the thing that is there which you don't even know whether it even exist. All the guesses, hypotheses. It may sound very contradicting, but it is not something not to be believed.

Things happen at the wrong moment at times, and not to deny everyone experiences it. So it depends on the individual on how to mend things and keep it on the right track. I just hate it when i watch romantic flicks at an improper timing... people hugging, kissing and giving love. Aiks ... coz it doesn't only makes me feel jealous but also feel sick. Why can't i have something that they have. People usually go around you, give you a pat on the back showing grieving looks and say ... "Get over it. Start anew." or "You can't compare your life with the others. It will only bring disappointmnet in life." But i bet, people can't think reasonably at that state as their mind are occupied with too much negative energy. So, some "time" would be the best remedy. Not too long, just sufficient and adequate time.

It is a part of growing and finding yourself in the path of life. Nobody can help us, it is all up to us. Don't blame, take some time off (take a deep breath), look for a resolution and then get along with it. Life is short and we don't have much time to waste on a particular problem. As there are much more for us to do in life. Yang's quote : " Don't live your life a problem!"

I have been reviewing my blog for a few times and i felt that it was a little too pretentious or "made up". So fake !!! But after all, i still have "some" constructive comments from the people and i am glad about that. I would leave it open, depending on my mood on how i want my blog to be like. Factual, Casual or Narrative ... Who cares??? As long as i keep on writing ...

Last weekend was more like a family gathering week for me, as it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gradually i think most of the Chinese would regard it as an important time for family and friends but some don't really think of it as one. For me, family gathering means lots of good food ... Yum Yum. Not just only typical mooncakes that i would get sick of by just taking some bites - seafood, cakes, meat (although i don't take) - all home cooked.



Friday night, my place and then on Saturday night my aunty's. I ate too much and i believe i can now rest my arms on my belly. Food are just irresistible! My favourite part was when we sneaked out the Rum Raisin flavoured "Haagen-Dazs"Ice-Cream from the refrigerator and hid it under the table and not letting anyone know. We shared among our cousin and siblings, 4 of ourselves. We did it to avoid our uncle from gluttoning all the wonderful things down his throat. Trust me, when he is around, we have to fight for food and food is no longer tasty, as we have to eat as much as we can so not to let him have it all. Yes, back to the ice-cream part, we had the ice-cream with my aunty's home-baked chocolate fudge cake. Gosh i am dripping ... Aiks ... Heavenz ... Overall we had loads of fun eating and watching "Anime" in my cousin's room.



But Mid-Autumn Festival is not complete without the moon. We have been looking for the moon for the past few days but pathetically, all we see is just the outline of it. The haze has been causing us a lot of trouble lately and it happens every year. It is due to the open burning and forest burning from Indonesia. Malaysian government is cloud seeding so that to get us some rain to wash the smoke particles away. I have heard from someone that, the reason they burn their forest is because they have wanted to "black mail" us. You get what i mean! But this is what people say and comment on all over. I think it is just the irresponsibilites and the inconsideration of the people doing such activities, hope that it will go away soon. This haze is giving me all the "Heee-Haaa"(asthma and other respiratory problems), and it is getting worse each day.


I took some pictures on the way to Uni today and this is what i get. The air quality is really bad and guess what, there are still people emitting their waste to the environment contributing to the haze. The government should really do something on that, we as a citizen should also take initiative to talk into people who go for open burning or maybe try to "smoke" less.



After "sometime", they would surely once again question " What can the people do for the country and government, and not what we( country and government) can give them." So ... itz all the people's duty to ................ tunduk jari and blame sini sana eh ... !? Cakap-cakap, tunggu-tunggu ... apa-apa pun tak buat mane boleh ??? Yea, keep on and Malaysia will surely capai Wawasan 3030 very soon .... Malaysia Boleh!

My mood didn't turn out the way i wanted it to be yesterday. Was slightly moody, as i had some disagreements with my mom. And that happens all the time, who won't? Was talking about my friends in the UK and their experiences, about how different people are over there. As those who know me, i am a person who likes to travel, meet new people and explore new things. Whereas for my mom, she is not to mention, conservative or old-fashioned. She is so against the idea of me going to the overseas to further my studies. I know she is worried about "something".

We have arguments on all sorts of topics - food, movies, music, culture ... you name it we argue about it. But some people say that arguing is an essential way of improving ones relationship with the rest. So, i wouldn't stop and will keep on arguing.

The "hottest" topic we often argue about is on the path of life i want to lead later. This caused a lot of stir in and out. Sometimes we even get friends and other family members involved. Frankly saying, i think i am more of the artistic type of person but my parents, especially my mom, thinks that i should be scientific. Maybe they watch too much "StarWars" during their teens.

There might be a lot of factors contributing to these - the main one is that my dad has a business in this industry, and he plans to inherit it to me ... i suppose. If it isn't the case, why make me do engineering then? They would usually give me all the reasons, saying that i want you to live a better life in the future. But they didn't realise that "better life" means financial stability. Some might think, how foolish are you not to go for wealth - money makes it all. I know, but what is the point of making a lot of money when you are not doing what you enjoy.

Some of my friends are facing the same dilemma as i do. Some in an opposite way. They are asked (or "forced") to do the subjects or course they dislike, whereas some are unsure of what they want in life. It is just funny sometimes how humans are behaving. They are given the choice but they are uncertain and vice versa.

The other reason for not allowing me to do what i want is because they say that involving yourself in the art industry makes it hard to outshine. Who say so? If you have all what it takes to be one and are destined to do so, i don't think that this may happen. Although some artists like Vincent Van Gogh whose works became recognised soon after his death - i believe he feels contented with what he had in life as he did it for passion. Take Paris Hilton, sing it, shake it, slime it a little and voilà, there you have *bling bling* shining star.



Another reason for not letting me do it, is due to "your uncertainty in choosing what you like". Yes, i admit that i am uncertain at times but i am sure it has got to do with my upbringing. I will tell you things that i have learnt half way in life - gymnastic, organ lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, japanese, dancing classes, golf, tennis etc. They have sort of blurred my vision in life. But i am sure that one day i know what i want. Science is not my cup of tea.

My mom always say that, girls only do pharmacy, designing and psychlogy. I am so against that statement. It is very stereotypical to take things in that way. It is only a minority of the people that she is referring to. I understand that things are not easy in life, but it would make it more meaningful if one does it with passion and full commitment. But i agree that what you study may not be what you work for as a living. I have seen some engineers turning themselves into stage performers.

Sometimes i have thought of my parents arranging my marriage for me, so that they could be happy and satisfied for all of their life. This is like a "barrel concept" it turns round and round and would never end. It is passed down from generation to another. Once, my dad even told me that he wants us to do what they want is because they don't have the opportunity when they were younger. So am i going to make my children actors then? Zhang Zi-Yi or maybe Chow Yun Fatt? This is so wrong way of thinking. We should instead give them some space of their own and let them realise their talent. Gosh ... enlighten the people !!!

I have yet received another message from my friend from UK this morning saying that there is a "Lesbian and Bisexual Club" in their college. Wow ... that is so cool ... people are given the equal rights although they have different tastes. Human are still human, but it is only gays who does different things on bed, that's all! As if they would walk to some straight men/women and rape them?!

My maid from philippines was cleaning my study table this morning when she saw my "D&G" (Dolce & Gabbana) belt and said : D&G would be different if the "&" is changed to an "O". (sweats ...)

Some people also call it the Mooncake Festival, as many would relate it to the mooncake. It goes back to the old days where the Mongolians fought and defeated the Song Dynasty. Chinese people suffer during the rule of the Mongolians under Yuan Dynasty and that is when people thought of defending themselves so as to fight for a better life. In order to do so, they have to pass the message around, but it is impossible because the message of this would reach the Mongolians like wild fire, so they inserted small slits of papers in the middle of the mooncake saying on when to strike. That is on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar. It worked as the Mongolians don't eat mooncakes. Perhaps Mongolians have a more healthier diet than the chinese do, or maybe they think it is too sissy for them to eat cakes. Duh ...

Besides the true fact, there are also legends about this festival. People believe that the moon is at his brightest and roundest during that night(given if it is not cloudy). The moon is not left out from this festival. From legend, we know that there are 3 livings in the moon. That is a woman, a man and a rabbit. It all started when Hou Yi is given the task to shoot down 9 suns out of 10 by the Emperor of Heaven because it was causing excessive heat to the earth. He suceeded in doing so, but the evil inside him caused him to steal the elixir of life from a goddess. Hou Yi wanted to rule the world and be immortal but unfortuantely his wife Chang Er drank it, and she felt lighter and floated in to the air and landed on the moon. Hou Yi loved his wife and decided not to shoot the moon down and that is why Chang Er stays on the moon. I wonder if Chang Er is too thirsty or she might mistook it by alcohol as she was an alcoholic?! Cold joke ...

Wu Kang, a man who is always uncertain of the things he want in life looked for a immortal to teach him the ways to be an immortal. He got fed up with all the things he learnt in a very short period of time and this caused the rage in the immortal. So, he decided to send him off to the moon giving him a mission to chop down a big cassia tree before he can return to earth. The tree restored itself and it is until now he is still up there. If trees can survive on the moon, i bet humans would get all excited about it and go Cuckoo ...

One day, 3 fairies transform themselves into an old and hungry man and went begging for food from 3 animals - a fox , a monkey and a rabbit. Both the fox and monkey gave the old man food but the rabbit who hasn't any sacrificed himself by jumping into the hot cauldron to offer his meat to the old man. Touched by the act, the fairies let the rabbit to stay in the Moon Palace. So, this is why you can sometimes see pictures of a rabbit in front of mooncake boxes. I think the rabbit wanted to run away from the old man by jumping over but misfortunately, it is not as smart as bugs bunny. Too bad ... it turned into rabbit soup.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, is regarded as a day for lovers as people light up candles and bring their lanterns along the street under the sky of glittering stars and the shining moon. It is also a time for people to get over old conflicts and to forgive. It is a meaningful and important day for chinese people throughout the world. Chinese worship the moon more than the sun like the westerners do. Moon is like a lady, soft, tender and romantic unlike the sun. So that is why we call it "Yin Yang" and not "Yang Yin". "Yin" refering to female and "Yang" to the male. Notice that?

Even my dog eats mooncake. We have a tradition of buying extra food so as to feed everyone to their fullest. This includes the mooncake. Every year we buy mooncakes in boxes but what do we do if we can't finish consuming? We freeze it and would take it out the following year for our dog to eat. Isn't it good, not wasting any food and yet bringing the mood to the dog. Wonderful!!!

I called my friends who are studying in Cambridge to wish them a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival but it seems like they have forgotten when is it. They told me about things going on in their life. I was a little surprised when one of my friend(female) told me that they were given condoms. 2 condoms, a normal one for normal sex and an extra strong one for anal sex. Whoa! Besdies that, they are also given lubricants to hype up. Who knows what! : P They even handed out guide books and manual to them and reminded them that even lesbian sex may cause HIV. Hmm ... That is not it, we were always talking about cucumbers and carrots as dildos, but this time, they are using it for demonstration as how to wear a condom. Goodness ... why not eggplants ???

There is also a club in their college called the "Romance Club", it is only for singles. Their activities includes, speed dating and meeting people of interest. I wonder if they have such clubs in Malaysia's universities. Maybe i should set one up, one day. But towards the end of the day people are still humans and we need companionship.

Wishing all a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ...

It has been sometime since i last blogged. Blogging is not as easy as i think it would be, there would be tons of things that i would like to share but when i lock my self up on the chair, i wouldn't have any idea of what i want to talk about.

Stop going in circles and by starting at once would be the best way to get things going.

I have been having sometime off since i last studied. It is like ... last november until end of last week. Almost a YEAR !!! Damn, i feel bad as my parents have been feeding an inproductive family member of ours. I pity them. Wahaha ... but then i really had a great time throughout that "Dark" period of mine. And finally, now is the start of my Renaissance era. New hope, new life ... The bygone Golden Age has been far forgotten by who knows who!

Things have been kind to me in the meantime, but no one knows what will happen in the very next second. Back to my point, my 2nd pre-uni life. This time at a far better environment. Lush greeneries , good air quality, complete infrastructures and facilities(highways for speeding) and of course wildlife too! On the day of enrolment, one of the "Ang Mo" from our university gave a talk about safety and he reminded us to be careful as there are snakes around the campus. Snakes ... ewwww ... reptilians ... aiks ... 2 type of snakes, legless snakes and 2 legged snakes ... snakes are friends at our campus as they eat the mice that run around. Mouse ... yucks!!! Yes, my campus is located at the outskirt of Semenyih and it is surrounded with palm estates. Snakes are said to be brought by the British when they colonise, to protect the estate from being infested by mice. But 2 legged snakes are even scarier as they hit, kill and eat up legless snakes and not to mention they WEAR them. Aiyerr ...



I was attending English and Language skills and our lecturer was discussing about pronounciations.

Lecturer : Pronounciations are important as it may bring a different message across if it is pronounced in an incorrect way. For instance, Indians, they can't pronounce the "W". Water. Please say water.

Indian Student : Wah-ter ... (class giggles)

Lecturer : It should be "wo-ter", not "wah-ter". Don't laugh at him. Even some caucasians can't pronouce -ng. Sing a song. I believe chinese can pronouce "ng" very well as they have Ng Pei Pei and Ng Mei Mei's, that applies to malays too because they use -ng in meng- (mengampu) and it is the same to indians. Try saying sing a song.

Caucasian Student : Sink-a-sonk. (students laughed)

Lecturer : See! Sink-a-sonk. Should be sing a song. Chinese too make mistakes. They can't say "l" and "r" properly. Class, say - run rabbit run run run.

A student shout aloud : Lan labbit lan lan lan. (People laughed their heads off)

(I wonder what "lan" he is mentioning about)



Lecturer : Last but not least, the malays. A problem with "f" and "p". There was a male ex-colleague of mine who walked up to me one day and asked, 'Did you fack your car at the carfack?'. (the class exploded at once)

Lecturers in my uni are trained to be real jokers, i think. Hats off ...

My sister was late for tuition today and she told me that she has to wash her hair, as it smells. I told her why worry? She said that her friends might smell her. So, i came up with a solution. I say why not put an accesory. But, how and what should i use?
A small bag of potpurri. Ha ha ha ...
