Great White vs Killer Whale

When I went to Pulau Dayang for my SCUBA diving last time, I was asked by Ahmad, the vice president of MMU Diving Club, what would I want to be if I'm a marine fish during an ice-breaking session. I replied anything will be fine. Being any marine life from a plankton to a blue whale is one hundred times better than being a pathetic human, isn't it?

Now, I have a clearer picture what I'm going to be... The killer whale!



All this while, I though Great White Shark stays on top of the food chain and nothing can beat a hell out of it. But the Orca gives me a second thought about that.

Another video from the smart Killer Whale



On the other hand, if Merfolks really exist in this World, I won't have any doubts to be a Merman *moving my eyebrows up and down*

So, if you're to choose to be a marine life, what do you want to be? Do tell so I can see if my Free Willy can p4wn you or not... MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nando's Jusco Melaka

After having heard that Nando's is offering unlimited free refill of soup and garlic bread for RM7.25 and unlimited free refill of ice lemon tea for RM5.25, something like a all you can eat buffet, I headed over to the branch at Jaya Jusco, Melaka for my lunch + dinner.

After ordering the food, we are requested to fill the empty bowl given with soup and garlic bread on another plate give on ourselves.

The chicken mushroom soup served that day tasted like the one from Campbell's, the only difference is that they've added some chicken slices, probably to convince you that you're really swallowing a chicken mushroom soup. Not much complains about this since almost all the franchise serve this kind of soup, nothing special bout it.


The common chicken mushroom soup that I know how to cook

I'm quite disappointed with the garlic bread. The bread is cold and soft, too soft for a garlic bread. It's baked for some left and they just leave the bread on a place with a cover for customers to take whenever they've finished their garlic bread without even keeping it warm.


The lao hong garlic bread

Other than that, I've ordered a 1/2 chicken with coleslaw and french fries as side meal. The chicken meat is too stiff and dried. It's not juicy and tender like Kenny Roger's. What made it worse is the coleslaw and the french fries. I was like eating just raw vegetables - tasteless, and the amount of curry powder spread on the french fries is too little.


Mild peri-peri for me :P

The only thing that cheer me up that day is the sweet cold ice lemon tea, and I get to refill for more! Okay, I admit that ice lemon tea is one of my favorite drink :P


How I wish if they let me bring my empty bottles and fill them up

After the meal, I went to watch Ratatouille (oooh, I spelled it right in my first attempt! Wahahaha). Quite a nice movie. I wonder when will my gerbils cook for me... *starring at the stars outside, dreaming*

Indian Superman

Remember the scene in Superman Returns where the bullet crushed and fell when it hits Superman's eye?



There's another guy in India who has the same power like Superman...

presenting... Captain Vijayakanth!



You've seen how powerful every blows Bruce Lee or Jet Li gives to villains in movies, wait til you see Captain Vijayakanth in action again!



After watching the clips, I keep telling myself...

I WON'T SKIP MY ANALOG CLASS AGAIN AND WILL PAY FULL ATTENTION TO WHAT THE INDIAN LECTURER TEACHES EVERYTIME. I'LL SEE MY FYP INDIAN SUPERVISOR EVERY WEEK LIKE WHAT HE HAS REQUESTED ME TO DO SO!

New Gerbilarium Setup

My good old Screamyx is down this evening. Being bored, I walked out to my living room, looked at my gerbilarium. It’s time to change their bedding.

So off I went, took out the three boys and put them inside a carrier tank filled with bathing sand, let them have a nice sand bath to clean themselves while I’m busy with my cleaning.



I took out all their toys, poured their stinky dirty bedding into a plastic bag to be thrown later. Cleaned the tank, poured new beddings but this time, I put a lot inside the tank just for them to dig until they break their claws (MUAHAHAHA!), put back all the toys and some hay for them to chew. After I’m done with everything, I placed the three boys back to their gerbilarium. Gosh, they enjoy themselves exploring the new setup, digging the thick bedding and chewing non-stop with the hay.



Notice the coconut shell hanging on the left side?





The little ninja starts climbing on it which makes me worried that they’ll chew the cover and escape. Instead of hanging, I took down the coconut and placed it on the bedding.



One thing worries me now, the water bottle seems like it’s too low and the gerbils will chew it sooner or later. The rascals had destroyed 2 to 3 bottles, I have a feeling that the current bottle will be the next victim.

Here’s a short clip on the busybodies exploring their new environment, enjoy!



And how’s my setup? Like it?

Busy

My life is getting busier. There are a lot of things need to be done, thus the lack of time to update the blog. Not because I’m lazy hor, I got excuses one…

I just finished a midterm exam yesterday, and as usual, I screwed up. I don’t really care anymore since I already used to it. The time I get flying colours in my exam is the time that there’s something wrong about me. Anyway, another midterm exam is coming up on the next Thursday, just the day before National Day. National day doesn’t mean anything to me anymore other than… it’s just a holiday. Countdown anyone?


Walao! I'm soooo hardworking!!! *cough*

I’m going to have a Final Year Project (FYP) presentation two weeks from now (eh coursemates, correct ah?) and my project is only 10% completed. There’re a lot of stuffs to settle, ICs to be soldered, wires to be connected, experiment to be done which leave me no choice but to stop lazing around before I meet my supervisor to show him my progress and the presentation.


Not mine actually, it belongs to my roommate, Woon Yen. He envies Jian get to post his circuit on his blog so I mar help Woon Yen post his on mine since he doesn't have a blog. Good roommate like me where to find... *cough*x2

Lastly, I’m going to have my industrial training in the second semester starting from the end of October but until now, I’m still not getting any offers for a place in any companies. I’m still trying my luck, and hopefully, I’m not jobless “industrial-training”less when the time comes.


Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my resume? I'm just being honest... *cough*x3

With all the excuses, you guys (IF there's actually someone reading my blog) can forgive me for not updating my blogs for the past few days and maybe the following days too lar hor? Hehe

Scruffy the Little Rhino

Notice the little Save the Rhino logo on the right side of the side bar? Honda, together with WWF Malaysia have started the 5-year "Rhino Rescue" project to protect this wonderful species from going distinct (more informations here and here). As a part of Nuffnang Community, let's spread this news as a support to the "Rhino Rescue" project for a better world! *hold hands and start singing "We Are The World"*


Even Scruffy has done his part, what about you?

ps: Man, I need to bribe this fella with mealworms so that he can hold still with the little horn on his nose and let me take the picture, it isn't easy I tell you *slap forehead*

Turning a House into a Tunnel

Getting a new toy for my girls (my pet gerbil) is what I wanted to do, which I decided to make a cave for them to play and explore. In the end, it turned out to be a disaster. Furthermore, I don't have the time to go to KL to get them a new toy but I wanted to give them something new.

I was searching some stuff to DIY until the little wooden house that I bought from Pet Safari at Ikano Powerhouse gave me an idea.


Someone is lazing inside the wooden house...

Having inspiration from the cave, I am going to turn it into a tunnel!

All I have to do is just to take off the roof of the house, rotate it to 90 degrees for it to lay sideway and there you go, you have a tunnel. Simple yet creative (isn't it?)


Side view: With the roof taken off so you can see what the two little rascals doing inside.


Top view: The entrance to the cozy little tunnel.


Snowie trying out her new hiding place.


Toffee doesn't want to be left behind either.

Btw, do you notice that Toffee's eyes is larger than Snowie's?



After exploring and playing with their new tunnel, the tired gerbils cuddled together and fell asleep in their new hideout.

Kuching Laksa

It travels all the way from Kuching to Melaka, and it's one of my favourite food. Eventhough the soup is a little bit dried up, it is still tasty like how it should be.



It's been two months since I last ate Laksa when I was in Kuching two months ago for my semester break. I finished every single bee-hoon and every single drop of the soup. Conclusion? Satisfaction!

How to Annoy a Person Through Writing Format

In the world of Internet, you can find a lot of words with different writings, formats and spellings. Most of them, I mean... ALL of them are very annoying to read as long as it’s not written like how it supposes to be. Let me show you this few examples.

THE CAPS LOCK PROBLEM
I DUNNO WHY SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO TURN ON THEIR CAPS LOCK WHEN WRITING. IT’S SOME IRRITATING THAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU OWE THEM A HUGE SUM OF MONEY AND NOW THEY’RE ASKING THE MONEY BACK FROM YOU. I CAN ACCEPT IT IF YOU ARE HAVING CAPS LOCK BUTTON PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU DO IT ON PURPOSE, YOU’LL EITHER NOT GOING TO RECEIVE ANY REPLIES FOR ME IF I’M NOT IN A BAD MOOD THAT DAY, OR ELSE, YOU’RE ASKING FOR TROUBLES. IT’S RUDE TO TYPE EVERY EACH OF THE ALPHABETS IN CAPITAL LETTER. DON’T USE IT BECAUSE IT MAY LEAD INTO MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

If I Have One Million Dollar

What will you do if you have one million dollar? The first thing that came into my mind when I saw MonkeyWong gave me the one million dollar tag (%&@#... tag only, thanks for the tag :P) is the hokkien song…

Ah si wa wu ji pak ban, wa eh pak che puey ki,
Wa eh you se kai, Jipun kua AV ciak sushi…

which literally translated as:

If I have one million dollar, I will take aeroplane and travel around the World, eating Sushi in Japan.

Let me see what I’ll do if I have the one million bucks.

[dreaming]

The first thing is to buy like 2 houses, property investment mar… so when I retired, I’ll still have income through collecting rental fees. I’m smart right? *shiok sendiri*

Next, I’m going to those great dive spots around the World for my SCUBA diving so I can learn the culture of mermaids from different countries.

With the leftover, I think I’m going to save them up in a bank but that’s not likely to happen. *cough*

[/dreaming]

Ahhh... if only I have the 1 million dollar. Wait, not rupiah ah, at least US dollar or even better, Pound.

The Hazardous Disposable Chopsticks

How the disposable chopsticks is made:
1. Bamboo trees are cut before they are sent for further process.



2. The bamboo is shredded by using machines into the chopstick shape.



3. Then, the bamboo is bleached by using sulfur and hydrogen peroxide to look whiter and cleaner.



4. Later, the chopsticks are laid under the hot sun for drying purpose.



5. The chopsticks are packed before importing to other countries.



6. It takes a few weeks before it reaches the destination, which is exposed to pests like cockroaches and rats in the ship. Upon arrival, the chopsticks are sent to a factory to be wrapped and packed before sending out to the restaurants and consumers.

If you break the chopstick, you can see a lot of monkey-face-look-alike thing inside the chopstick, these are caused by the leftover of the chemical.







Some facts:
1. It’ll give out an unpleasant smell if the chopstick is socked in water for one week.
2. If the chopstick is burnt, the smoke that comes out from the chopstick is acidic when tested.
3. Avoid using disposable chopstick that is too white if it’s compared to the original colour of the bamboo or wood. Chopstick that is too white may have been bleach excessively.
4. It is advisable to soak the chopsticks in hot water before use to release carbon dioxide.
5. It’s better not to use these chopsticks for bbq or leave it in the soup as it tends to release more carbon dioxide.
6. It is suggested to smell the chopstick before use. If any sour smell, possibly it contains carbon dioxide. Soak them in warm and hot water for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the carbon dioxide.

According to some reliable sources, it was found that the disposable chopsticks are being recycled by reusing sulfur and hydrogen peroxide.

I found this article somewhere, and I don’t know how true it can be. Anyone call for the Myth Busters?

Seremban's Siew Pao

It’s been a long time since I last ate siew pao from Seremban. Just before heading back to Melaka, we headed to one and only one shop that is still open for business as most of the shops close at 6-7 pm and it was around 9 – 10 pm when we decided to buy siew pao before going home.



The shop is inside a complex just located beside the PLUS highway, you can spot it easily on the Seremban – KL route. The name is amusing though. I still remember that back in the secondary school, I’ve studied the Roman Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Chinese Empire… but the name of this complex is: Empayar Siew Pao Seremban (aka Seremban’s Siew Pao Empire). This makes me wonder that when Japanese came and conquered Tanah Melayu during the World War 2, the Seremban folks rebelled by throwing siew pao at the Japs, hence given the name Seremban’s Siew Pao Empire. It might be one of the reasons why Japs retreated other than the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.



We reached at the stall and when we were just about to place our orders, the boss told us that all the siew pao has been sold and he will bake for us if we were going to buy 30 siew pao from him. We start to collect the orders and managed to come up with 80 siew pao. Remember the Empayar Siew Pao Seremban story I told just now, it was late that time and I think we should buy more so we are able to defend ourselves when we meet up with robbers or rapists.



After one hour, we headed back to collect our siew pao. We can feel the heat from the freshly baked siew pao. The outer skin is crispy and the ingredient inside it is hot and juicy.





I bought 15 siew pao for my friends and housemates and I ate 4 of them. Too difficult to resist something that’s just came out from oven. The price? It costs RM1.10 per siew pao.
