NOw .. im listening to a rather famous ... or infamous song .... its called collecting newspaper . So yeah theres a van passing through my area right now , blaring its theme song " Olde newspaper ~ Shou jiu bao jer ~~ Surat khabar lamak ~~ but what does it have to do with this post ? absolutely nothing XD .
This week , Members of the Chinese club of St.Joe conducted a food sale ... to raise funds for a girl [yeah its a girl .. confirm ..not guy like our notice says ...] in China . Apparently she's very smart and Wants to study ... unlike most of us haha ... but she doesn't have the financial base... so were gonna fund her school fees for her for one year [ the fee in china for a year of study is rm400 ] and hope she does her best ... haiya ... sounds like we become parent pulak ... pay for school fee and "dream" of the "child" getting good results ...
Monday :
We sold mango flavoured Blended ice , Mashed potatoes , and tau hu hua [ soyabeancurd jelly ] or as somebody called it , TauHu Flower ~ . We went out a few seconds before the bell rang although it was our first day of sale haha ... but luckily our juniors had come out earlier and prepared most of the stuff ... so whats left was to set up some things, [ power supply for the blender and etc ] and to promote the food . In typical St.Joe fashion , a lot of students bought the items to "try" them ..so we managed to clear everything off save a few cups of the TauHu Flower ...
Tuesday :
We went out at 9.30 this time ... 20 minutes before the famed bell ...Lucky we did as if not , we wouldn't have ice to use that day ... the ice truck was somewhere far off and only arrived 5 minutes before the bell [after we called them of course] added to the fact that our Tauhu Flower and mashed potato arrived late ... This time we sold the same items but replaced the blended ice with 3-layered tea . Same as yesterday , everything was sold off ... the mashed potato was surprisingly popular amongst the students ... altho it looks .... "yuck" lol
Wednesday :
Went out at the same time . But although we went out earlier , we were faced by a problem ... NO ICE ! noooo~ We called the truck ... but you know where it was ? Nah .. of course you don't ... it was somewhere in Serian ... so with 10 minutes left on the clock , it would be impossible to get the ice from them ... In the end , ... we had to resort to the most extreme measure ... to get ice from the canteen ... [ its a external affair but most of the people who have conducted food sales in school should know what might happen ... if the towkay knows of it ] .Hah ... so we bought some ice from the canteen but not enough for the 3-layered tea .. What we sold was the same as Tuesday and most of it was sold off ... except the tea due to the fact that it was not cold enough and there was no ice ... so at the end , we drank it ourselves ... i mean what was left of it lar ... haha ANyway , Met Alan after the sale .. he was playing basketball so i so called "Chia " him a drink of the 3-layered tea lol ....
Thursday :
9.45 was our protocol today as we were having our maths test ... Adrian came and picked up the box with misc items for the sale earlier . Sold tahuhua , mashed potato and blackcurrant ice blended today ... everything was sold off .. and the blender almost died ... of short circuit ...
Oh yeah ... i brought some pudding to school too lol ... but it wasn't for sale ler .. for tasting nia ...
Friday :
Sien of going out early so went out with the bell for a change ...sold same things as yesterday ... except the iceblended was apple flavoured ...
Overall , the whole sale was a success ... we managed to collect rm800 +/- ..And after deducting the rm4oo and the costs of the whole project , we had some money left over so it went towards the club fund ... and later towards our telematch on the 26th of next month ...
Overall for the week , stayed back on wed , thurs and friday wed for extra class ..although we went at 2pm+ after going to satok and sunday market area to search for the pudding powder and cups ...Thurs ... was supposed to go for pa extra class but din't cus was lazy XP so stayed in class and "disturbed" lynn haha... [jgn marah ya ~ i noe preston nid bath XD ] friday , stayed for chinese club commitee meeting till around 1pm then went back class and chatted with Lynn and Wan a while before leaving at 1.30 .... Sat ... ... ... no comment ? except went out at night with some frends ... till 1+am ... So sunday ... lidat lor like usual nia ..
Thats all for this post ... no pics ! lazy upload XD

Wednesday ... Practically the same with monday but for the practical we conducted [ using Op-Amp's] . Well our "Fengshui " for our group of 5 [Me , Jacob , Caroline, Yek and Stephen ] on that day was better than last week when we attempted the practice practical the week haha .. we managed to get our results for the first experiment without much trouble second experiment however we had to do some trial and error but still managed to achieve the results faster than the other two groups ...alas when consulted , Mr.Chong told us that our results were wrong since we did not use the range of the ac current [ 1V~1.5V ] so we redid the experiment and managed to get satisfactory results . By that time it was already near recess so since all groups had finished , we returned the apparatus to the lab and proceeded to our reports while waiting for the bell to ring ... recess came and went . Anyway basically that was the day . Maths class was cancelled tho so again we got to go back early .... some stayed back again Farid , Lynn , Del , me , Brian , Jacob namely ... Farid , Brian , Del and Lynn stayed back to finish their reports while me and Jacob did practically much the same . Del went back first as she had finished her report ... then Farid , Brian , me and Lynn went down to the canteen to eat our "lunch" of laksa [Malay stores] Where we found / saw Jacob sitting alone (eating Lunch ) when we got down he had already finished so he went off to class first .We then continues to purchase and eat our lunch ...haha Lynn had to look down to check if she had stained her shirt/skirt [since shes wearing an all white uniform (prefects) ] with each bite of laksa so we took our time ^^ .Back to class , Farid , me and Jacob finished our reports while Brian and lynn studied Maths / talked for a while . Shortly after , we were joined by Wan and soon , Brian ,Lynn and Wan left as Brian decided to send Lynn Back earlier . So Me , Jacob and Farid were left in the class . Jacob went at 3pm so me and Farid talked till 3.30pm before we locked the class up and proceeded to our own business ...
Friday ... after what happened yesterday we got 2 periods free[3rd and 4th] since Mr.Chong did not come [duh]
so till next time !

Speaking of which is why i want to say why .. so why should i say why if why is so obvious ? [dunno what to put for title so cincai]
Hmm .. just returned from school 1 and 1/2 hour ago .. but just on9 a few minutes before XD well why so long then on9 ? well i'd been cooking lor ... and since so long din post anything since the petrol prices inc. , i decided to post what i cooked jz now
Well .. i cooked spaghetti alot of it since its for the whole fam ... the pic on the left is the spaghetti mee. ... This type is called angel's hair most likely cus its small [the size of the spaghetti] bout it a few days ago @ Boulevard while i was out with my friends XD but its disappointing since it actually tastes a bit like normal mee due to its diametrical size ...
Anyway this is it in the wok ... heat the water till boiling then put it in for 2 minutes [ yeah this type is the fast version ... 2 minutes then ok liau haha not like the normal ones ... have to put for 14~16 minutes before its edible ...] then place it in ice cold water before finally transfering it to a dish ... then the mee is ready lor ...
This is the sauce ... basically its just seasoned/ marinated minced meat with blackpepper , salt , paprika , some other spices cooked with big onions [diced ] before adding the sauce ... the sauce is not normal sauce from can you know ! XD took me a few minutes to mash the tomatoes into puree =.= but of course got other "benda asing" like bottled tomato sauce in order to achieve that colour .. [looks a lil bloody ^^]
The final out come ... any comments ? XD
haha .. anyway after school attended the VAD [voluntary aid detachment] meeting... hear talk talk a while then play some games ... well one actually ... called " penguin " devised by Delv and Lynn ... [i think ] something like making a guy / girl [ the penguin]run or walk around trying to sit down on a chair while the rest shuffle around on the seats to prevent the "penguin" from getting a seat ... actually i dont really get it haha .. although i kena also ...
well only stayed for a while tho since i had to go at 1pm ...
Thats all ...

so what does it look like ?
like this lor ... [ somehow i managed to find a pic thats simillar to my friend's Chang XD ]
Basically its marinated meat [cooked] , wrapped with glutinous rice [uncooked] in leaves of [pandan ?] in the shape of a pyramid and steamed until the rice is cooked... it has many different varieties : chicken , beef , pork [ non-halal] ,peanuts and many others... there even is the tao sa [red bean paste] version XD

Petrol Madness...
With the increase in petrol prices , the merchants [from all sectors - food , and the like] will once again have a reason [or alibi ] to further increase the prices of their goods ... we see the prices soar high high ~ then we ourselves pok kai ...

We cannot satisfy everyone " ... haih ... t'sa a sensitive issue eh ? some people might get sued if they say the wrong thing haha ....but ain't it been like that ever since we were born as Malaysians? ....signing off ...

Orang Ferum +3

When our pizza reached us we were like "wow" that looks nice ...
And so began the fateful tale of the poor pizza being devoured by us ...slowly while we talked ...laughed most of the time XD ... spent almost an hour there And we left at around 9pm ... then our troubles started ... we din't know where else to head to ... it seemed that our brains were frozen from the cold aircond from the cineplex and John's car haha ... so we spent 1 hour or more just spinning around the area ... 3rd mile ... saberkas ...etc and finally at around 10+pm we decided since we had no where to go [ coffeebean ,starbucks Bing! and the rest somehow we dint want to go there ... ] wow ...it took us 1hour+ just to figure out we dint have a place to head to =.=
So in the end we headed back home and returned to our respective lives ... till Median XL comes out ... it's due this month but dunno when tho ...
Some pictures ^^

The "4D" tickets -from Star Cineplex

My "latest" investment ...Superhero movie ... it was... Great ! ....NOT .... it actually dint pack as much punch as expected and i was somewhat disappointed ...

And this ... I finally found it at last .. My M.I.A . enchanted DVD lol ... havent watched it yet tho ... although its boring at home =.=

Dejavu -Memoirs of the past ...
So when i got home at 2am yesterday i wrote the post below ... and then since i still couldn't sleep ... i decided to do a little computer cleanup ... and came across some pictures that were surprisingly nostalgic XD [ oh hohoho ... i've grown old ! worrying bout this and that XD ] although they were taken last year ... At that time we were all still happy without worries and still uttering the famous Lion King motto ... "Hakuna Matata" but now as we drift along with the flow of time , we have gone our separate ways only meeting each other occasionally - through means of going out or virtually ... playing games that require teamwork such as D2 -LoD [Median] or Strcraft through The Hamachi server ... Hah .. the memories of old times ... how i wish we could just relish them once again ... however it is nearly impossible now .
So what pictures did i find ? well it was a "pizza party" [we maketh thy pizza] that we organized at Darius's house back last year , the exact date has been forgotten but if my memory remains loyal and faithful to me , it was on Thursday , December the 13th 2007 ...haha actually we spent the whole day not actually making the pizza but playing games on Darius's com lol ...boys will be boys XD

Me , John and Kevin with our pizza's ...Darius is blocked by Kev ... awww =.=

Well ... heres he in the flesh [ the pizza's small hor ... they were bigger than Pizzahut's Personal pizzas tho ^^

Well .. this is mine ... looks crappy huh ...lol
There still are may pics of the old times [ with others of course ] but im lazy to post them up as blogger seems to be acting up again ... [uploaded pics turn to encrypted codes]
Well 1 more pic ... You know Kuching is a strange place ... There are many shops that can go unnoticed unless you look carefully ... This is just one of them :

Baile's Gift House Of Condom ... its not strange no ... its good to know that someone out there in Kuching is taking supportive measures to aid in decreasing the amount of HIV and AIDs cases ^^
[ and its good for it to be promoted i guess haha ]

Memories ~
You know if an individual is left alone in the dark , he or she tends to think about things ... relationships , past events , the future .... you name it . As a human , it is in our nature to worry ... worry about things that don't even exist like imaginary boundaries or barriers blocking what we want in life . This in turn can either bond or break any relationship ...
Humans are the most complicated beings ... You cant understand them at all . One minute you think everything's okay but the next everything shatters like glass . Relationships are feeble ... one wrong step ...even one wrong word can cause it to break ...
So everyone in this world has his or her own darkest fears , thoughts and worries ... even you ... [ whoever you are reading this post ] . But i guess its alright to be paranoid sometimes although being over-paranoid isn't exactly the way to go . Everyone is frightened of being left out both socially and mentally and in these past few weeks , i have experienced both ... maybe im just being over sensitive ... maybe im paranoid ... but in the end i ended out hating myself for being like this ...
what am i doing ? why am i posting this ? These people already know [ really? ] how i feel
so i'll stop being damn paranoid ! WTH i dont care anymore !
SORRY
to everyone that has been affected by my emo-ness
SORRY
if i have been annoying
SORRY
if i aint like the old Jackson
SORRY
to you know who you are !
