Happy Birthday Mien!

Well, its actually Happy BELATED Birthday to Mien.

Celebrated her birthday around 2 weeks back, didn't have time to update bout it.

Went to Matsuki Japanese Restaurant which is located somewhere near Gurney. Its full address is :

Matsuki Japanese Restaurant
62, Jalan Pemanang, Penang (Cantonment Road) • Tel: 604-229 5504
Opens: Daily from 12.00pm - 2.30pm, 6.00pm - 10.60pm

The atmosphere is quite Japanese-authentic. Wooden layout makes the environment look old but comfortable at the same time. From what i could see, Matsuki comprises mainly on teppanyaki dishes, even though they have sushi bars as well.

We was late that day, very typical us. In fact, we was very very late. The booking was at 7.30pm. We left our house at 7.45pm. It takes around 40 minutes to reach Gurney from our place, you do the math.

Luckily, we still got the room that we've booked previously. Obviously, Matsuki is more for family gathering, old timers and even though it was a Sunday, it was not full.

The food took some time to come, so we took some pics while waiting.

Snapshots

Waited for the food for quite some time actually. Most of us ordered sets, so there's no appetizer or anything help shut our tummy up yet. When the food did arrived, it sure did set the alarm off our tummies.

B'day Cake ~ Choc indulgence

One thing u learn in birthday celebrations........

Never steal the cake from the birthday girl....

or argue with a guy with a lighter

All the girls

All of us

That night quite a night, as its been a long time since we've gathered like that, eventhough we're just a few steps away from each others' house. Overall the place was cosy, food was nice, the pricing is appropriate, the gathering was fun. But what came out of expectation is the outcome after eating the cake is.........unexplainable.

~Happy Birthday Mien~

Attack of the Singh

Late for English class yesterday morning. As usual, we were asked by our lecturer, Mr. Rajpal Singh to write a short letter explaining why were we late. The point behind this routine, it remains a mystery to us students. As usual also, our English class is filled with lame jokes cracked by our lecturer, and it surely did a good job for keeping us awake.

Everything was usual, until.....

Mr. Rajpal became unusually high demand of jokes, he cracked a few more for us.....

"I hate to lose. Since young, I never like to lose in anything. Even when I walk to my car and I see people walking faster than me, I would race them to the car.
That's why I'm KIASU".

"I'm a man who's scared of a lot of things.
I'm a man of sins, so I'm afraid to die, because when I die, I dunno where would I be going.
So I'm KIASI".

"You students see, I'm really scared of lot of things. I'm scared of dying, I'm scared of my sins, and when I go back home, I'm scared of my wive......














so I'm KIA BO!!".

Okay his Kia-ness was kinda lame, no doubt but it made us laugh like mad. Maybe it was his expression and intonations, I dunno. But seriously he's a good entertainer. Out of a sudden he even did a ban-ga-la dance like how Panjabi MC hit the world with "Mundian To Bach Ke".

During class, Mr Rajpal always stressed that we must always end with a bang, be it comprehension or oral presentation. Today, he ended the class with a.............

errmm

His classic poem

"Kalau ada misai, itu kucing,
Kalau ada janggut, itu kambing,
Kalau ada misai dan janggut,
Itu RAJPAL SINGH!!".


Cheerio Mr Rajpal Singh

you're the man

Tiredy Tiring Tired

Yesterday was a super tiring day. Slept at 3.30a.m, woke up at 8 to study, went for classes, came back home for lunch and study again, went for Marketing test at 3 p.m, ends around 4 pm plus, thought of taking a nap but played Three Tag instead (fyi Three Tag is a mini game in DoTa).

Ate dinner around 7pm, and went straight for fencing afterwards. At this moment i was seriously tired and sleepy, luckily saw Chern Chung (and his crappiness along him) so it wasn't that bad.

Fencing was kinda fun tonight, fenced with a national sabreist, Nazirul, lost but learnt alot from him. Nice dude, joker overall.

After fencing, went for supper at Roti Bakar (USM version of Old Town Kopitiam). Shocked at what mr Nazirul ordered : Salad Sandwich and Ice Blended Banana Milkshake. I was like wth! Lol he's seriously on a healthy diet man. Usually what WE order after training are mee goreng, nasi goreng...you know...all those stuffs that add calories back into you after 2 hours of burning them. Crap around, stole some food from mei fong ( cuz she can't finish it haha) and that rounds up our supper.

Went back thought of heading straight to bed, but went on for two rounds of Three Tag instead (a minigame in Dota) and finally slept at 4am.

Tiring seriously. Seems like old age is already catching up on me.

Steamboat at Macalister

Penang has been raining cats and dogs for the past few weeks. Unlike KL, i'm tugging hard on my blanket almost every night. Because of this, despite the economy crisis, a few of us (mua house mates and frens) have decided to pamper ourselves for a hot steamy steamboat buffet

Town Steamboat Buffet

It is located at No 63, Macaliser Road, 10400 Penang. Its business hours are from 5.30pm - 11.30pm daily. Call 04-2297273 (call after 5pm) for booking as it is always fully booked

7 of us went and it cost RM 19.90 each. For the amount of food they have, it is affordable and they have varieties of seafood, fried stuffs and shabu shabu. They even have satay, ice kacang and lok-lok stalls (in which u must order, but no extra charges). Dim sum are also part of their buffet menu.

Shabu-shabu pot. Honestly we fried most of the seafood.

Shark's Fins Soup. Limited to one bowl per person

they even have a Renaissance background

The best chefs in the world are men. Too bad we don't fall into that category

Overall the place was indeed good. The place is not hot, the food are fresh, lotsa varieties (they replenish very fast) and the desserts are good too (ice creams, guai ling gao, jellies). They even provide a small playroom for kids to run around and not knocking pots down. So to round this all up, I would say one of the nicer steamboat place I've been too.

Health Alert!

In short, please immediately see a doctor if you discover any symptoms similiar to fever AND cough, sore throat, difficulty to breathe.

with additional symptoms like :

Body ache, headache, chills, diarrhea, body fatigue and vomitting

Busy, Busy and Busy (for the wrong thing)

Back here in Uni, I've been busy ever since the first week till now. Not that there's tonnes of assignments or projects (but i have it now though), its just that I'm busy with all the wrong things. Cause seriously, if u were ever active in uni, those things that u can do are unlimited. Let's see what i've been thru since the first week till now :

• Drum Performances (fyi its chinese drum)

I've told my mom that i will minimize my commitment in drum but still some things inevitable. Performing is becoming like a responsiblity now, so being a senior aint that nice too.

• Members Recruitment Week

Two weeks ago I've been super busy with recruitment week. Its at Foyer (an isle where most of the lecture halls are) and i'm there like before class, after class, lunch time, tea time, dinner time (i was there to hang banners). The place was crowded for the whole week, people are walking up and down being terrorized by us trying to bring in new members. For me, i was running up and down between Kung Fu Club and Fencing Club (Fencing rocks seriously). Basically i was there the whole week (mua frens also), tiring but its fun (cheating on ppl to join our clubs lol).

• CS Interaction Day

Computer Science Interaction Day!! Missed it last year so gonna make up for this year. We went for hiking at Penang National Park, target -----> Pantai Kerachut (which i think is one of the nicest beaches in Batu Feringghi, Penang). It was an hour hike to the beach. And i was panting (sign of old age), thank god there's Amjed to crap around with.

All-round seniors and juniors, a complete interaction Day

Yea so basically that's bout it la....those main stuffs that've made me busy. There's also training sessions for drum and fencing, which all together took 2 hours from 4 days out of my 7 days a week regime. So who said local uni is boring huh?

After so many blahs and yaddas, i realize im a super big procrastinator (this is a topic for my English Oral). I procrastinate in almost everything, from waking up for classes to washing dishes, bathing and STUDYING. Speaking of which, i have marketing test this coming thursday.

Signing off to study (6 chapters in 2 days omg!).
