Texas Chicken

Texas Chicken vs KFC 

Definitely a T.C win for me.

They serve up bigger chicken than their rival

I know my finger is totally the wrong measuring tool, if only I had a ruler...

There was a point of time they were giving out coupons, or maybe it's still running I'm not sure, sorry. I remember one of the coupons were 4 chicken at rm11.90. Honestly, it's cheap. Eating at a shopping mall, one bowl of noodle would cost around rm11-12 or even more. So, substituting carb for protein, I'll do that anytime(but I love rice and noodles T.T). Anyways, my family were crazy about it at that time, till I see us eating at T.C at least once a week! We don't usually eat fast food, so once a week is quite a big deal. 

Well, now all the hype is over, we still go there once in a while, realizing that the chicken size is slowly diminishing.

As a T.C lover, I hope the management would do something about this and DONT CUT COST when you're doing so well, maintain the reason why we love Texas Chicken...if you haven't tried T.C, try it before the chicken becomes the size of a marble!

Australian Cute Avocado!

Ze mini-size avocado, superrr adorable hehehehe

Brought it back from Australia, cause didn't manage to finish some food we bought there, and one of them was ze avocado~~~ 

Luckily, it survived the flight and the road back to ma homiey~

It as reeeeeally delicious and has a slight bbw taste(?) (maybe I'm dreaming). As usual, I ate it with salt and honey, hehe that combination of salty and sweet swirling in ze mouth is da best!

And it's the first time I ate an avocado so fast, like within 2 minutes, it's all gone! Oh so fast, well, good things won't last forever, must appreciate it 😉

Here is my souvenir! The seed. Hahhahahaha, if you look closely, you can probably make out a heart shape in the center. 😯

One down, two more cutey avocados to go, I'll slowly eat it ba~ no no, must leave those for my mom and brotha~ ok that's a better idea.

Ciao~

2nd Week of September

1). August Term
August wasn't that of a good term for me, I, haha, flunked a lot of subs, but there were some, ok, a little subjects I didn't like Chemistry, Maths, Moral, Sejarah...yea, that's about it, haha, 4 out of 10 subjects ain't too bad. Chemistry was a big Big BIG surprise for me, I was the highest in my class, but if compared with the other  two classes, I'm the lowest Highest, haha. Chem. teacher gave me a look on some key rings to choose, and I pick a blue mushroom as teacher's gift for being the highest, thanks a lot, teach! I'll do my best on the final exam. Then, Maths, i didn't get the highest, Danny and Wengyi got the highest, congratz to them!, and I heard the 1st class, a malay girl scored a perfect 100! Whoo~, she's cool! I'm satisfied with my score now, but I'll work hard to get 100 just like that malay girl! Oh yeah! Haha. Moral and Sejarah(History), i got an A and a B respectively, though it's not like A+, but improvement from the last exam, that's good. The others, I had 3Cs from Bio, Phys and Malay, B for A.Maths, and 2A- for English and A.Science, yeap, all downgraded, sucks right? But as Danny always say to those disappointed on their results, 'It's just a test', what he said is true, so I don't really care much about it, and focus on my upcoming final exam, which is starting from October 7, which is approx. 2 weeks and 5 more days to go! What am I still doing here?! blogging? I should be studying by now! Well, I got something to say, since this is the final exam, I'm gonna be off for a few weeks till my exams over, don't be sad and don't worry, I'll be back in a jiffy after my exam's over! Now where was I? Oh ya, Oct. 7, it gave me nerves and goosebumps when my add maths teacher, Teacher Hayati told us that it's OFFICIAL, it's definitely gonna be on that date, and she was FREAKING Mad about us(some of us, not me, of course, haha) for ponteng her class on Mondays, and yeap, she used the 'freaking', haha, she said she learnt it from Danny, how funny.

2). Sharing is Caring
Nowadays, I spent my time sharing stuff, not really STUFF, but food, haha. Not long ago, I shared Gummy Bears and some weird soft candy that taste like Cola from my German friend, with my classmates, Gummy Bears the best, everybody loved it, that cola candy, Cheryl was so crazy about it, to me it taste weird, but for her, she was so hyped about it, she really really LOVED it, no kidding...then I brought soft bottled-shaped milk candies, this was okay. And recently, I brought Japan candies, shared with my classmates, managed to finish! Latest one is the Snow Skin Disgusting Mooncake, that some say taste like playdough or durian, haha. But the main reason I'm bringing food to school and sharing, is because i'm in the middle of clearing, yeap, clearing my fridge, i hate to see my fridge everyday, with so much food, that can last me a lifetime, that's why I SHARE, ^^.

3). Late Independence Day Celebration (school)
This week, I had singing practice, not for the choir, but with the Blue Angelz. First practice was full of fun and of course, laughter. FUN is one of the key things we librarians have. We had to perform 3 patriotic songs, that is 'Transformasi Berjaya, Rakyat Sejahtera', '1 Malaysia' by Limkokwing Sound and Music Design Academy and 'Tanggal 31', on this Thursday for our school Late Independence Celebration, haha. While we were practicing T.B.R.Sejahtera, there was a part we don't need to sing, "Kitalah pemangkin, Kitalah pemangkin", the second K.pemangkin we should be silent, but the guys decided to sing that part in chipmunk tone, which totally went haywire, it sounded more like people dying, haha, that made the girls laugh! Then, singing 1 Malaysia, the female part was kinda high, so we also decided to exchange roles with the males, they sing female, we sing male, haha.So we changed, music start, the female part came, the guys all sang falsetto, which sounded so so, haha, ghostly, it was like ghost whispering into our ears, after a few more ghostly verses, teacher ask them to stop, and just sing in their normal voice, they don't need to change their voices to become females, haha, we all laughed! 2 more days to go before the performance, we practice every morning. Finally, that day has come, and we were suppose to perform the last, so we waited, enjoying our sweet time sitting at the back of the stage, waiting for the teacher to call us out. While sitting there, we were chatting and also listening to the other performances and activities on stage, one of them was some patriotic quiz, there was one question we knew, and we were like forcing each other to go on stage and answer, me and Raydon was going "you go la", "no, you go", after so many you-go, Raydon's voice suddenly broke, haha, I mean it went well, it broke, which conclude to all of us laughing(again!). After chatting, playing, drinking a whole of water, finally finally, it really is our turn, and we totally fluked it, it was all messed up, ina good way, haha, we didn't follow the beat, we were banging each other, bang once, everybody started to act funny, bang here and there, laughed a lot, our flags were crossing each other, the person beside me, Ms. Sook Cheng's flag kept hitting my face, haha. And the crowd, unbelievably hyped, they got their big flags, they even had MALAYSIAN Banners, and when the 1 Malaysia song played, they sang-along, during the chorus part, whoo! They were super patriotic(I think!), they sang so LOUD, some i see, carrying their friends on top of their shoulder, it was a memory that should not be forgotten, FUN...!!!!!
After all that, we can go back to class, and the great part was we didn't need to join classes, haha, even though only 10 Creativos came, the teacher let us go back to our own class, sweet~!!! When we reached our class, surprisingly, we just start studying, me and S.Cheng took out history books and just start reading, amazing, right? Yea, even the teachers that walked pass us was amazed at how diligent we were, even when without our class teacher in our class. We study study study till the last period and we stop, start chatting with kah wai, she told us she need help in her studies, I picked up a chemistry book from Jek Sen's table, suddenly me and Cheng started teaching her Chemistry. Before we went home, Kah Wai asked if she could borrow our tuition notes from us, we offered to lend her our chem and phys notes next Monday, hopefull she'll make full use of it and score the grades she aims for. 


4). Everything Jumble in One!
Firstly, let's talk about Physics, man, physics, everytime I see physics, I start to..I start to...fall....zzz...yea, such a weird reaction occuring in my brain, it's like there's an automatic sleep button my brain has, and everytime it sees physics, immediately it pushes that stupid auto button. Come on, brain, you want me to FAIL this subject or what?...honestly, I don't think school teacher teaches that boring, I mean, well it's not that bad, i think i can sustain, but everytime I start focusing, battery generated, yes I have power to pay attention in class, suddenly it shuts down, again!!!!! Why ah, tell me why, then everytime I say tell me why...my brain on again, and play David Archuleta's A Little Too Not Over You (the chorus part starts with tell me why), arghh! All you care about is music! (XD)  

Next, add maths tuition. Past few weeks, I had A.Maths tutition in the early MORNING, even the rooster haven't wake up yet, I'm awake already! All because of so many reasons, maybe one day is Jasper got something to do after that, so we have to move it to the very very early morning, then maybe is Ding Xiang, needs to go vacation after that, and so we have to put so so early, tell mw who wakes up at 6.30am just to get prepared for Add maths tuition at 7am(exclude me, rebekah, tian jin, cheng, d.xiang and jasper)?! Sigh...torture.....but at least it's not physics, haha! 
Oh yea, haha, I remember this wednesday after PJK, Johnny was complaining about bit*hes in our school and in tuition, male and female bit*hes, he talked about all of them. Male ones, i know this, they keep on insulting him, Johnny has a more rough tone, so everytime he says something or answers teachers' questions, those male bit*hes will repeat his answer with their fake rough tone, I know this, and how I really wish I could punch in their face, how do you feel if people imitates your gay-ish voice, bit*hes?! Females, haha, Johnny criticize on how they dress, pants so short, some can even see their under-wear, how to focus during tuition, he's talking about them(the female bit*hes) focusing in tuition, well, true also, you're coming in tuition to what? to gain more knowledge or revise those subjects your weak on, right? So, why need to wear so short? Oh well, this kept going even during recess, me and Danny, were just sitting there listening, and we can see he's very happy talking about this issue, haha.
Recently, we bought a new dvd player, yes! And it cost 70 bucks! Haha, yea, it's not branded, but i'm so happy we can change our old Phillips, which does not respond to me at all, always never letting me play my dvds i wanna watch. And what else cheap, Supernatural Season 1- Season 5 dvd pack, that cost only, wait for it, wait for it, 50 buckeroos!!! Can you believe that?! Yayhoo!
Hmm...what else, oh, one of my parent's car's battery broke down, it's all my dad's fault, he left the key in the car with the engine half on! And that morning, my mom had to do some handyman's work to recharge the battery, she plugged some wires to the other car and connect it to the battery-broke-down car, and she managed to restart that car, cool! What can I say? My mom is more a guy than a girl~
There's one more thing I (almost)forgot, I watched an indian movie called 3 idiots, lend by Cheryl, haha, yea, at first I thought, indian movie, what?! But that movie was great, I'll talk more about it when I come back and blog, but if you have some chance passing by it, you got to buy it, I guarantee you it's totally not a waste of money, it's good! 

Mooncake Festival 2011

          Hi Guys, recently it's Mooncake Festival, and I think it's still ongoing, even though the actual date has been celebrated. There are still people having mooncakes with their family in the house(that's me, haha) or out in a cafe, to me mooncake festival resembles unity, as when is this time of year, my family will gather and buy mooncakes together, a weird old family tradition of mine is we usually go buy last-day mooncakes, last day means the day itself (Sept 12 2011), at Leisure Mall, cause the mooncake sellers are trying to finish selling whatever they have, so they'll put more discounts, haha, that's why we go on the last day. However, since my grandparents came before the last day, we decided to take them there and check it out. Here's some pics I took on that day and the last day:

I saw this guy making mini snow-skin mooncakes

 unlike the traditional one, this is hand-made

 He rolls the paste into a roll, and cuts into pieces for tasting.

 take a toothpick and taste please

 Everybody looks on the guy that's making mini mooncakes...exclude the guy who's taking a plate, he's just waiting for the guy to finish making.

 Look at the packages..orange,purple,white,blue,brown...

 He's taking a block out of a block...

...and weighs one by one

 Hampers on sale

 Bakkwa, dried meat

 30% only...haha, suck

 Can you believe this, even Doraemon sells mooncakes 

 Decorations

 Cool flying(hanging) Lanterns

 The view from up above, whoo, look they're packing

 100 Plus Cans boat, can you see it...

Snow skins

 Heheh, look at that, Buy 1 Free 1, man!..Tai Thong

 50% Buy 4 Free 1!...Bee's, so which one is cheaper?

  Now let's take at the eating experience:

The day with grandparents

Well, this doesn't look so yummy-fying, I agree, 

and it taste..not so good, Six Happiness Mooncakes...

 Even though the new type mooncake looks nicer, but it taste unORIGINAL,

the old one, sigh, the yolk is such a mess, is as if they don't know how to make mooncakes.

Our 'catch' of the year...+ green tea

 1st tasting batch,(left) T.Thong Snow Skin Vanilla Chestnut, Bee's Green Tea Lotus Paste, T.Thong's Low Sugar White Lotus Single Yolk, the white lotus is good, the paste was great,

Sorry to say Vanilla Chestnut ain't so good, ok, honestly, is terrible, very disgusting, I bought one for Cheryl(she loves snow skins), which is totally the biggest mistake I ever made, Cheryl call this playdough, everybody had a taste, even Danny, and he said it taste like durian, which of course tells you the does not like it, man, thinking about it makes me feel like puking!!!..Oh ya, and the green tea, it was not bad, I liked it, but my mom, she said it was too strong, well, of course when you're eating Green Tea Mooncake with Green Tea, mom! =D 

 Next day, a new batch,(left) 6 Happiness' White Lotus Paste Low Sugar and You Ai(友爱)'s Less Sugar White Lotus Single Yolk, You Ai's was the best MOONCAKE, it has always been in my family, the paste was great, and the yolk was not dry, it was yummy yummy yummy!...then we have the taste like (really I'm not kidding) sh*t mooncake, 6 Happiness was poison!

 Next Next day, we tried Pandan Lotus Mung Bean With Single Yolk by Bee's, this was an unpredictable one, as you can see, we kinda buy white lotus type only, and this was something new, and we were happy to take the risk, cause this, this was good! 

 Look at that, the Yolk is right in the middle, it's so perfect, and the design, that's nice too.

 One the same day, we also tried Mallitol(Sugar Cane, don't know if it's true) White Lotus by Bee's, it's plain and dule-looking, but so much better than that 6 Happiness Disaster!

My dad came back from work, this year was different, he wasn't here to celebrate with us.

He bought this mooncake from Hong Kong, Chinese Ham Mooncake, ehh...sounds delicious to you?...I tried it, I gotta say, I'm not that fond of this type of mooncake, it's ok, not bad, I think those that like this type would enjoy it more than me, haha, OF COURSE!

 

Conclusion on this years outing:

• The Best: You Ai(友爱), all-time favorite, we always buy their mooncakes with their tissue box packaging, so we can recycle it to become our tissue box, haha, but this year, they don't really have a lot of discounts so we decided to pass, next year then. XD
• Taste Good and Reasonably Good Price: Bzzz Bzzz Bee's! Go the Last Day, that's when the Bee's shows it true colors, very good!
• WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR AT ANYWHERE, IT'S it's PUKE-able!!!! Ini betul betul have to give to...Six Happiness, I'm telling ya, this is totally bad, please guys, I don't mean to be sarcastic, but please put that Warning sign on your mooncakes, thank you =)

Prizes & Outings

Talking about Prizes. Remember Agricultural Science Competition (if not, take a look at the last paragraph of 'Seriously, A.S Rocks!!!'), i hoped that we'll get at least 3rd, and can you believe it, WE DID IT! 4GB Team really snagged Third Place! Hehe...

 Though the price ain't so cool, but the cool thing is we got 3rd!!! Whoo~!!!

...after a few weeks, our model is still there, nice, right? haha

As a reward for ourselves, we went out to watch a movie on saturday of the same week and watch Captain America: The First Avenger...

The movie was not a bad one, but if compared to other Marvel movies this year, like Thor or Green Lantern, I wasn't that hyped after watching the show, I think i gave too much high hopes for this movie, I just don't really like it, 3.8 out of 5 stars. Haha, before the movie, me and my bro(yea, he followed) waited for Cheryl, Danny and Johnny for a long time, somehow thought that they were lost, but come on, NO WAY, so I called Cheryl, checked out where is she, well, cheh..it was just a traffic jam, after few more minutes, they arrived, thank goodness. After the movie, we walked and stood for a while thinking where and what to eat, finally we decided to eat at Ichiban Ramen, and I used all the money i had and collected, haha, first time using money so crazy, but there has to be a time i have to learn to spend money, how weird, it felt great, i spent it on my friends, and i'm happy i did that. Yay, i'll definitely treat them again, when i make my own money, XD!

The next prize, Me and Cheryl's Public Speaking little/puny/small/kecil/小 trophy and some gifts, plus Cheryl's sports trophies, Congratz, Cheryl!

Our Public Speaking Trophies

 Haha, serious la, Cheryl!

 The sportswomangirl for Category 16-17 years old.

 Another pic

 Public Speaking Trophies, Gifts 

and Cheryl's 400 meter Gold medal

 The photographers, aww...they're so hardworking...zoom in Wengyi(right), 

oh yea...rajinnya...reading chinese magazine....haha

 Acting totally weird~

During this holidays, we went for another outing, except Cheryl didn't come, yeap, sad...she's busy, spending time with her family, well, that's nice. So, outing, we went on wednesday, went for karaoke at Green Box and watched a movie, Cowboys and Aliens, with my parents watching with us. Karaoke was great, haven't been there for a long time since last year, even Danny and Johnny's parents went for karaoke, so cool! Can't wait to go there or somewhere else to sing karaoke again, haha! Cowboys and Aliens,

though the storyline was easy to understand, the movie production itself was great, the action scenes was superb, and Daniel Craig's fighting scenes was quite real, i enjoyed it, 4.2 out of 5 stars. After the movie, went to toilet, and part our ways. Then, my grandparents came to Jusco, we hang around there for some time, and went for dinner near Leisure Mall, a fish head restaurant, which i think the fish head was not good, but the side dishes was nice. If anybody wanna go for fish head, i'll definitely recommend Balakong's fish head, tell ya more about it next time, balakong's the best! I enjoyed that day a lot, let's go again! 

Gonna be 1am soon, and my freedom's over the next day, going back to school, okay then, i'll see you again later, bye~
