Stuffs Happening During Exam

1One: Steve Jobs Passed Away.

This famous picture can be seen everywhere around the world right now I think. Cause, it's the book cover of 'The Biography of Steve Jobs' by the very well-known author of many other people, Walter Isaacson. I knew about his death from Google, they had this '1955-2011 Steve Jobs' thing under their search engine if i'm not mistaken. Well, at first when I saw it, I was kinda weird out why are they putting this? Steve Jobs is not even dead yet...to confirm that, I went to check, OMGosh, I totally can't believe it when what I thought was wrong, he's really gone. I felt slight tears inside my heart, I have never shed tears for someone that don't even know me, ha, first time. Steve Jobs, i saw a magazine front page that called him the 21st Century Genius, i very much agree on that. He's amazing just by having the idea to create something even better and easier-to-use, without him, we won't have all these cool machines he made, who can imagine a phone can transform from a basic normal visible keypad phone to a touch screen phone, man, that is a really cool mind he has. And he passed away quite a young age, but pity him too, he was battling cancer for so many years, and now we should be happy he could rest in peace now. God bless him.

2Two: There were book sales going on during my (so lame and dumb and stupid and...)exam
Crazy discounts, i mean, SO MUCH discounts. But the so sad part is I didn't go, I can't go, 'grounded' because of exam, I missed it, but but, hehe, next year, I'm having SPM, that means my exam won't clash with these sales, and I can go to the Big Bad Wolf Booksales and also a booksale on a ship near Port Klang, my friends say it will be there every one or 2 years. Well, if it's not there next year, I can go the year after next year, I'm free, i guess, hehe.

3Three: While studying the 3 science subjects
Physics: I came across my teacher's comments on my exercise book. It's kinda funny, it's something like this, 'Nice Try  Good Try', haha, teacher, you're funny(to me ^-^), next time just use liquid paper or correction tape, don't let me see this funny stuff or i'll just laugh at you everytime.
Chemistry: Horrible answers, all the answers for the questions in my little reference book were all wrong, or you can say weird, the answer for this one question was suppose to be like 2 or 3 words only, the answer sheet gave me haha, I call it random stuff, totally out of topic. This is something related to, " I call for a chicken not a duck! "...i made it up by myself, hahaha.
Biology: Everybody knows what is Inspiration, right? I know you do, but do you know Inspiration can be relative to the topic RESPIRATION? Hah hah...Inspiration and Expiration, from the words inspire(inhale) and expire(exhale). Words do have a lot of definitions...that can be so different from each other.

All these are just some random stuff I can remember happened during my dog days, XD.
Some song suggestions, anyone? Well...i have some Youtube links:

• Stitch by Stitch, Javier Colon(The winner of The Voice, yayhoo!, he won!) 
• Tear Us Apart, Nadhira(Orang Malaysia, hehe) feat. Ron E Jones
• Heartbreak World, Matt Nathanson (me addicted to this song...)
• That's Not My Name, The Ting Tings (i know, old song, but just thought about it, love it)
• Girl on TV, LFO (yea...old song too)
• Tu Amor, Jon B. (i love this song a lot A Lot, VERY MUCH!)

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 =)

Food & Books #1

The first week of holiday, it was....AWESOME! Although I wanted to spend my school holidays with the net(only), I've been banned, for 1 whole week by mama, well if it wasn't for me who spent the whole midnight, before my bro's last day of exam, blogging and facebooking, if I had waken up to wake my bro up in the morning, if he was not late for his exam, if he didn't miss the paper of his exam, I won't be banned. Well, in short, it was all my fault. So, ne net, what to do? Flip the newspapers, WOA!!! Sales!!! Everywhere! I don't mean any normal sales, it's BOOK SALES!!!

80%!!! 90%!!!

Now this is grand....

 How cool is that?!! Okay, maybe not everyone will agree on how 'cool' this is, but come on, look at the amazing discounts! One from Popular, the other from Times, next, this is the best, READ Malaysia Book Fest ! At first I thought, this READ Malaysia will be kinda boring, maybe a few discounts here and there, but i was wrong, totally wrong. You could not imagine how big this book fest is...okay, maybe not that big, just a whole convention hall of Mines Shopping Center. The best part was Borders Sales, i mean, inside this book fest, well, like any other book fest, you'll see a variety of bookstores, publishers, stationary brands, all putting what they have. Borders (aka the best bookstore), they had 70% off on Fictions, Self-Help, Travelling, Manga, Art & Crafts, all sorts of books, even though 70% is not much, compared to 80% or 90%. The books that go on sale are..well, the books that I like, I want, I was so happy that day, that what i estimate of me spending maybe only 1 hour there, at the end I spent 3 hours! It was great!

 Of course my books on the left, mom's on the right, haha, only one! All my book are about RM5-8 each, reasonable, huh?

Bought some reference books too, RM2 each, cool, right?
Oh yea, those little notepads, didn't buy it, that guy gave me free, I didn't even notice!

About that READ Malaysia, it went from 27th May till 5th June.

I have to admit, it was good book deals, and i had to go there again! Yea, I did, i went for the last day. It was even better, 70% was already good for me, they added 10% more, 80%! How freaking great is that?!! I went there for a reason, I need to find a book, it's called Sweep by Cate Tiernan, yea, I'm finding Book 4- Dark Magick. But alas, i failed to find it, i asked the exhibitors if they had anymore stock, but they said everything that you see, is what they brought for this exhibition, i was kinda down heartbroken. Man! Have you ever had that feeling where you came for that something, but that something is not there...i searched quite long for that one book, about 3 hours, and I gave up, maybe next time, if there is a next time....oh well, to mend my little sad heart, I went through the books again, but this time not finding, but scrambling through the other books, this somehow bong my head, like saying, how come this stupid girl went pass us just now but she didn't pick us, and now she comes back, picking us up one by one, how stupid....Yea, I am stupid, other than that, I find the other books interesting, interesting that i bought quite an amount of books, that includes, the series of Narnia, something about Wereling, and more I can't remember. Well, that's just shows how stupid I am in time management. I waste a lot of time.

          Okay, let's forget about my dumbness, and move on to the next sales, now this sale is also in a convention hall, but it's smaller than the Mines, and thus, it's smaller than READ book fest.Located at Viva, a shopping center that was so rundown last time, now renovated, crowded with people. It is the Popular warehouse sales, it's...not bad, actually, books there have a good bargain, but no match with the book fest. I bought...not much, as Popular is mostly Chinese books, and I...don't really have interest in Chinese, haha. Sorry.

The new and improved ViVa

 50% 50% 50% 

 Sigh...chinese books 80%...

 Buku Melayu Section (very small )

Stationery Site

See that RM1 sign, yea, that's cool

 Ahh....The Kane Chronicles is back!...though it's 30%, it's still expensive...so I'll patiently wait....

My bro's favourite Survival books

haha, look how little are my books, compared to mom's...all chinese, plus my stationaries, 

bought for my friends

Books from 2nd Day, this time i bought some chinese too

 My reference books, all RM4 each

 Hmm....I'm missing something....... .... ...oh yea, I bumped into my friend there in Popular and in the Book fest too. Well, I didn't really bumped, they saw me first, in Popular, came across Edward and his bro, they bought some english books...to me those were kinda boring, haha! Then, in book fest, saw my tuition friend, ms. lee, she was walking around with another friend of mine. Kinda cool meeting them there...XD

          So book fest, popular, ahh, one more Times, times was to me the worst, books there are quite outdated, though books i bought cost around RM3-4, it wasn't interesting, mom even said if i bring her again to this kind of warehouse sales, she'll kill me! 'kay then, next time I'll do some research before i go....lesson learned.

My 3-4 bucks books

Well, that's the end of my Food & Books post, next one will be about food, emm...yummy, yea, My mama's Italian Food, she does the best. Do not ask her to do Chinese or any Eastern Cuisine foods, it's not so good, she's more to Western & European. Wanna know more about her and her cooking, don't forget to check out my new post, COMING SOON, see ya~!
