* "Ladies and Gentlemen… My apologies, for not completing what i started, the sequel of backslider to Frontliner series. Because of many changes and events that has happened to my life, affecting my lifestyle, i got distracted somehow. Anyway, I am a person who keep my words. I will finish it. Thanx to all whom have been requesting me to write it out. This ones for u guys… :)"

Life goes on in IPG. The class was really siao. My first class was, Office practice and procedures, CAT programme. To me the class was sort of a waste of time. But, it was fun. Mr Edwin Chin was my lecturer. He ended up being called the "zoo keeper". Yes, we were a bunch of  animals from the zoo. We had, monkeys, apes, rhinoceros, elephant and even a hippopotamus. It was chaotic, that we received complaints from many other classes. Like we cared. Almost everyone in the class had a nickname.

Every classes was like going into a comedy show. William was chosen as the class monitor. And i guess he was kinda "bangga" about it. You can see him wearing his Persatuan Ketua Tingkatan T-shirt from chung ling to classes. He suited the job. Except that he was the most noisy fellow in class. Everytime the lecturer asks us to keep quiet, we will always answer,"How u expect us to shut up, if the monitor cannot stop joking ?". William is aka "the Monitor" or "William the Great".

Let me give u an example. Edwin was lecturing about how to store information in a soft copy or hard copy. Then all of a sudden, our hero, mr william ching will say, oh… hard copy is the hard hard kopi la.. Soft copy is the soft soft kopi la.

There was this fellow named ah boo aka boo boo… who is another super funny guy. First day in class this fellow comes to classes late with his bermuda pants. I asked him, how do u find parking? so late liao? And this smart alex says… never mind 1 la… just another green paper nia mah(saman paper). Aiyo..Hopelessla.. Hes the other joker in class. Got once the lecturer, Ms Lim(transaction accounting) asked us, which secondary skool do u come from? Our fren, ah boo answered, Gua Bei Kee Liao ("forgotten liao" in hokkien). Goodness, How can he forget his secondary skool?

Ms Lim declared that this is the most challenging class to teach… CA-1-2. Once, she was trying to explain the difference between intangible and tangible asset. So to simplify things, she said, tangible asset leh… are the assets u can touch one loh… then intangible hio.. are those assets u cannot touch one loh… then she gave an example(tat she regretted)… like IPG(my college name), can u touch the name leh? cannot rite? AH BOO came and said… CAN CAN… i go upstairs the top floor there, mah can touch the IPG sign loh… mah can touch loh… aiyo… Ms Lim teach our class, can spit blood 1.

Next episode, i will introduce to u the whole cast, the characters of CA-1-2. Then u will see the whole picture.

To be continued….

Last week on 14 september 2006, i went back to KL. My examiners from UK came to Segi College to conduct a 5-day course for us. This is the first time tat i have ever been lectured by an ang moh/ kwai lou. So far so good… i can understand the English accent. I often have to be an interpreter for those chinese educated classmates of mine.

It was a good experience for me as i find that the British lecturers are very different from our local. Our locals tend to stress on how to get good marks in exams. This Brits, they emphasis a lot on grasping the subject itself. I like the way they answer my questions. They will bit the bush, tell u many facts b4 they conclude and answer ur questions. I prefer it this way rather than, a straight forward answer. These guys, they really know their stuff. And as stupid as i can question, they always have an answer. I admire their patience in answering questions.

The Segi College Subang Jaya’s cafe is really good. I love the food they offer. Typical western food. Sheperd’s pie, Potato Jack and others. I think the tauke is a british guy, if im not wrong. Thanx for the good food… I went to eat at the Jalan 222 Hokkien Mee(tai lok Mee), 2 times. I ordered to big plate and wallop it kow kow.  I also managed to eat Nam Heong Chicken rice in Taipan Subang Jaya. All these made life good for me, whom live to eat…

After such a long time stuck in Penang, I must say, i really love KL. Those 5 days, i just lepak kow kow. Although i didnt have much time, i went out to after finishing my classes at 6pm. I managed to meet up a few friends whom i lost contact for quite some time. I met up with Choon Hwa,Quan Sean, Gwen, Chong Wee, Lydia and James Kok. Thats all. I really appreciate those fellows, cos i know some of them are busy, yet they made some time for me. FRIENDS FOREVER !!! For others that i cant meet, really soree la.. dun have time to meet with everyone. Next time la…

Bcos of time constraint, i only slept an average of 3-4 hours for the 5 days. Study and travelling killed all my time. I took 2 cups of coffee to keep me awake in class. Coffee somehow has a great effect on me.

I was having such a nice time that i kena emo the last 2 days before i came back to Penang. I really didnt like coming back home. But i have my responsibilities. And i cant run away from it.

When i reached home in Penang, i got sick immediately. Must be due to lack of sleep. It was so bad that i had to take a leave from my work to rest. But i feel that it was worth it. I really enjoyed myself those 5-days… Coming back from KL refreshed my spirit. At least it motivates me to move on. As i cant stand being stuck in Butterworth too long.. keke.. Life over here is kinda boring. But ill get over it somehow. Anyway it was great … stepping back again into KL.

ILL BE BACK !!!

Theres this indian uncle selling roti canai at sitt tatt garden hawker centre in Jalan Raja Uda, Butterworth. U guys must go and see how this fella sells his roti canai man….one word, Passion…

Just now i went there to have my supper with my brother…(keke… parents not around so we curi curi keluar makan.. :P)… this roti canai man.. just catch my attention since those days that i decided to promote him here in my blog. Those of u from butterworth shud know who im talking about

All he does to earn a living is selling roti canai. I think this is his calling la. U see this man, u see roti canai in his blood. First of all, when he prepares his roti canai, u can see full enthusiasm coming from this man. The action, the movement, the technique, wah sai… technically flawless. I like the way he goyang the roti canai. He really wallops the whole dough, until its superbly even.And he does it again and again. U can hear piap ! piap !! … non stop. And when he spreads the roti, its like hes playing rodeo like a cowboy. And he does it at full speed. Its certainly entertaining seeing the master roti canai seller performing his trade. His eyes, was so focused on his job, yet his whole body was autotelic.

And…He does it all alone. One man show… ( individual skills… keke). I saw him, so semangat, i oso ordered 2 kepingla… although ive eaten wan tan mee with extra wan tan. I counted the time he took to prepare, 5 minutes… (from the time i called till the time it arrived.). And when he brought the roti to my table, guess what … i ask him berapa? he answered me in HOKKIEN… khor si , means RM 1.40. I kena stunner terus… dunno wan to speak in hokkien or bahasa melayu. I mah give him RM 2…. he summore ask me back in hokkien, ooo tah li bo? means got small coins or not, refering to the 40 cents. Wah sai… this guy must have done his cultural studies… he knows how to adapt with his environment.

Finally, u all must be asking…. how does it taste? Well… ive been eating his roti canai since i was in primary skool, now im working, ….. IT STILL TASTE AS GOOD AS BEFORE !!! I dunno how he does his quality control over the years, but hes good. The dough, i believe its home made. Its wangi, crispy and tasty. He only had one kind of curry. But his curry is specially made for roti canais… trust me… its complementary, like kunci dengan mangga.

Things to be learnt.
haha… for everything seen by the eyes theres always something to learn, even from the roti canai man.

I learnt from this uncle, that , when u have passion, people can see it. People know it. If people dun see ur passion, means uve got none. And when u have passion, that energy flows from inside of u to ur surrounding, that it starts impacting others. I bought his roti canai, just by seeing the way he makes it. I dunno how to say, but when u see people putting all their heart into something, u just love them.

If we want to excel in anything, we must always enjoy it first. This uncle just enjoys his work. From here, he picked up the spirit of excellence. I guess tats why it still taste as good as it always been.

Haha… i must be crappy, wat do u think? i sincerely admire this guy. I guess im also learning to apply passion in my life as well. Passion… passion for GOD, passion in floorball, passion in learning. keke… 1 day i must take his photo and post it here…

Not too long ago, i received an sms from a very close buddy of mine. She messaged me and asked me about do u know so and so….? To be frank i got a shock of a lifetime. 2 persons which doesnt know each other at all, met and the last thing i know, is that theyre talking bout me(good or bad, tat one i dunno la). Thanks to the internet and friendster, ppl get to know who ur friends are.

I was working at that time. When i received that sms, i just called my friend immediately. Imagine wat a shock i got.

Being someone who reflects a lot, i ask myself, wat would they be talking about me? I hope they didnt spill out all the bad things about me. Lucky thing i didnt do anything teruk except being labeled as childish for this case…hahaha… Then i started thinking further, wat about all my past? There will definitely be ugly episodes in everyones life which we dun want anyone to know. Will this affect me in the future? Wat if another person in the future comes to me and say, man, i cant believe u r this sort of person?

As i do my devotion with GOD, i expressed my worries to HIM and ask him wat is his view. The Lord answered me, "My child why are u so troubled by ur past? I have redeemed u. Its ur past. When u repented and come to me, its finished." Jesus said in the bible, IT IS DONE. "Look forward towards the purposes i have in store for u." " Dont u realised that u have changed a lot since u came back to me?".

After that i felt the peace in my heart. I know it now. If someone knows ur bad past. Thats a good thing. WHY? because, when ppl seen the change that Christ has done in ur life, Christ is glorified. Ive heard many stories of powerful testimonies of how GOD changed their lifes. Stories of ex convicts, murderers, drug addicts and all nonsense , changed by Christ. Did they hide their past from others? NO. But ppl certainly are amazed what changed that person when they see them now.

Same principle applies to my case. So … i guess, i was just thinking too much over unnecessary stuff. haha.. So when bad things happen to u, just forget it and look forward. God doesnt care about ur past. He cares about wat u do NOW. SO DO KEEP MOVING.

As human beings, we all have sinned. And as for me, there was an area in me that i needed to deal with, PRIDE. I believe at some point in our life, we will have to face this issue somehow.

It all started when the state floorball coach whom is also my pastor, approached me to talk about my floorball progress. He pointed out to me that my ultimate weakness is my mental strength. I have a very weak mind. Weak as in i tend to lose my temper during a game. And he told me that the reason for all this is because Ive put myself at a higher level than others, and JUDGE others. Which is true.

    Sad to say I never trust anyone in the state training. Ive always had this negative thought that ppl wont pass u the ball if u pass it to them. And I tend to be stubborn at times because ive always wanted things my way, always wanting other players to accomodate my style rather than to adapt to others. Therefore i cannot be creative although i have shown potential in being creative on the courts. It was only a matter of time, no one wants to play with me.

    A few days later, we had our floorball ministry meeting. And I was rebuke again by the same man, this time as my pastor. My pastor attended that meeting as well. I told the commitee that i didnt want to accept a certain post they offered me. And truthfully, the real reason was because i felt that there are many things i didnt agree with the commitee. My Pastor asked me… how was ur experience when u took up tat post in the past? i answered GREAT. And to cut the story short, He rebuked me. He said that i am letting go the goodness of being a blessing to others just because i cannot deal with certain emotions or attitude. And that emotion is PRIDE. It is like someone whom have tasted GOD’s goodness and say that they cannot accept GOD because they cant deal with certain issues.

    That meeting itself, i was so embarassed at myself. I went back home and my whole day was spoiled by tat incident. Dealing with pride is hard for me.

    And as usual, when i am down, i always seeked GOD in my secret place. I bowed before the LORD and i told HIM, LORD change me. Help me to deal with this. The Lord gave me a word.

"Do not do anything out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but IN HUMILITY CONSIDER OTHERS BETTER THAN YOURSELVES" - Phillipians 2:3

I meditated on that verse day and night. The key word was "consider others better than yourselves". That was the solution to this big problem of mine.

And i applied it in every aspect of my life, floorball, church, and even work. As I humbled myself before others, ive learnt to deal with pride, by the grace of GOD. I realised that I can learn even more things from people and see things from peoples point of view. And best of all, people are even more willing to listen to my ideas once ive humbled myself. I got rid of my mental block in floorball and now im progressing well in my skills and gameplay.

    That painfull experience is definitely one of GODs many molding programme for me. And I am thankful that God puts people in my life to show me the way. Ive seen many people struggling with many issues even towards their adulthood, just because, they are not willing to deal with sin. At first i was quite embarassed and angry, but im thankful for wat my pastor did.

The bible says, a wise man welcomes rebuke, while the foolish only listen to wat is pleasing to their ears.

Praise GOD for all these lessons in life. More to come… Hallelujah !!!

Im finally the coach of Frontliners Floorball club. Ive been coaching the boys for 5 sessions. And to be honest, I LOVE THE JOB… to my bones

Some ppl dun like my style. I dun care. I know wat i am doing. My training is only meant to train those whom are willing to GO THE DISTANCE. It is designed to kill those whom are not willing to train hard and not committed to the team. My training is relatively demanding physically and mentally than our previous trainings. Oh yes, i shout more than anyone as a coach.

The training that imposed slowly selected off and killed those not so committed ones. Today, i can proudly say, those that come to training are those whom are really there to share the same vision and dream of mine, TO BE THE BEST FLOORBALL PLAYER WE CAN EVER BE. Nowadays, ppl come on time for training. And, they are determined to improve. Not all of them are good players YET. But they will be great ones one day if they continue to train hard. They all have the mindset of a champion. To build a strong team, u need to kill the weaklings(in terms of attitude and willpower).

The most inspiring ones are our new recruits from St Xaviers school. I remember when they first came, there were 12 of them. I killed 6 of them. The 6 remaining, are those that will always make my coaching experience a memorable one.

Because of their passion, they made exponential progress. In just 4 sessions wit me, Joshua, can now take decent wrist shots and became their school’s top marksman. San Jeevan rose up from a determined defender into an aggressive forward constantly giving problems to the opposition defence. Mekananth with untiring runs and unlimited stamina is now the captain of the St.Xaviers team.

Our penang league player , former free schooler ,Teen Chuan has shown great progress as well. With determination he began scoring  goals after a few sessions with me. He was an unfit player with low stamina when he played for us previously. Today… he is one of the best goal poacher in my team. Always in the right place at the right time. Well done.

Kah Beng, another free schooler, started off as a player whom is not athletic and low self confidence. Today hes able to defend well, clear the balls and finally gained his confidence to play on the courts. Im so proud of these boys.

These fellows and a few more others not mentioned, reminded me of my first few days playing floorball. I was so passionate, determined and hungry in floorball. Some say im too crazy about it. Some even say, not everyone is as passionate as u, so slow down. Some say u cant do it. Perhaps im too driven. I was alone. Today, im no longer alone. My best buddy Kuan Yang is now the Penang squad first choice forward and im so proud tat he made it there (ill catch up n join u some day.. thanks for the inspiration ).

I just cant wait for these whole team to mature into seasoned players. Then, we can fight together as comrades in a team.

I used to enjoy improving my skills. But the true joy flows when i see these boys showing progress and being able to be wat ive always wanted to be. I know they can make it. Ill make sure they make it one day.

Its been a long time since i went to church. Last sunday i finally went to church. The purpose i went there was to sent a good friend off cos shes going to study in KL. I brought my sister along(many ppl dun know tat i hav a sister.. :P).

I went there late so tat i can minimise my time out of home. The moment i reached frontliners youth service… the presence of GOD was so strong… as they were worshipping GOD… I just raised
my hand and worship HIM with all my heart and soul. Its been sometime.

God spoke to me dad day thru my cell leader Danny. Danny said.. GOD showed him a candle burning very deam. Tat candle is me. The light is the passion that i carry. God said tat i am capable of more light. I need to refill my passion for HIM.

God also spoke to me another thing. He said tat i am like Joseph in the bible. I am being thrown into trials. These experiences are meant to mold me especially my character for GODs future purposes. One are specificly spoken to me was the area of humility. God said He will train me in this area. If i exalt myself, He will bring me down. If i exalt HIM , HE will bring me up.

When GOD spoke to me, I cant help it but to hold my tears back. The LORD has assured me that He has yet given up on me. Thank You LORD for your grace.

The sweet presence of GOD touched my sister as well. This 13 year old gal loved the youth service. Though she didnt really know wat was going on, she felt touched. She told me she felt like crying all of a sudden. Tat is the HOLY SPIRIT… Hallelujah !!! On our way back home, i asked her, if i ever go church again would u join me? she said OF COURSE… Praise GOD… And she said she liked the music. Well done worship team.

God sure is doing his good works back here. Just have to press on and continually pray. Thank you those whom have been praying for me and my family. GOD bless u always. Salvation is here. AMEN!!

Frontliners 3 Contact Sports 2

Yea… we finally won the game against Contact Sports, 3-2. 1 goal each from Kuan Yang, Steven and Serene Tan sealed our victory against Contact Sports. Contact Sports got their 2 goals from their goalkeeper turned forward, Scott. Unfortunately for Contact Sports, their key player Edward Lim wasnt around to play for them. Ms Penny Khoo, was the player that kept the team sustaining throughout the game through her commanding role in defense. At a moment, the were actually on the way to win us. They scored the first goal. Fortunately, the Frontliners kept their spirits right. And that made us

won the game. However, from what ive heard, the return match will be tougher. It seems theyve got a secret plan for the next game against us. We’ll see how it goes.

Dalat 9 Frontliners 3
Although we won contact sports, we lost the game against Dalat 3-9. But ive got no hard feelings bout it. I didnt feel sad at all, which i usually do. The game against Dalat was a new experience for me. Playing against bigger,more experienced,faster and better players, i must say we are in a different league. For your info, team Dalat is formed by Dalat international school. This means we are playing against Ang Mohs(caucasians) that are bigger and taller than us. And the best part of the game, is to be able to play against our Malaysian National squad players.

Aggressive Play
One thing i like playing against Ang Moh is that, theyre tough. Even if u played more aggression, they wont be complaining… For some one my size, believe it or not i shouldered one Ang Moh whose taller than me to the benches. Dun play play with me.. keke.. i growed up playing football wit bigger and taller players(when i was a teenager, i was the shortest among my collegues, i wasnt naturally tall). He asked for it, he pushed me first. Of course ill push back. But in the end of the day, no hard feelings.

I didnt throw my stick. It flew.
There was one part in the game, i knocked my stick on the ground. But wat happened was, the stick flew away. Everyone, including my teammates, spectators and the referee thought i throwed my stick. No No No… u all got me wrong… I wasnt even angry. Just a little annoyed. The referee stopped the game. I almost got an unnecessary 2 minutes sent off. I guess, people misunderstand me cos ive built a bad reputation for myself all this while for my temper.. hahaha… it runs in the family. Those whom have been close to me knew tat i wasnt angry… Thanx for the trust.

Sarsi-the marksman
One of their player, the no.11, Malaysian National Player, Sarsi impressed me trumendously. Hes shown me how far floorball can go. First time playing floorball, i have this feeling called FEAR. I got scared throughout the whole game that i couldnt play. My hands just cant do what i usually do.

Hes ball control is so good. He is the most accelerated player ive ever met. He can easily dribble past all of us. His spin-offs are as fast as his running. Hes shots are fast. And the best part is, he could do the air hook. Ive never seen people doing airhook in front of me before. And he does all of this at will.

Empowered for excellence !!!
After playing the whole game, negative thoughts kept clouding my mind. I thought of retiring floorball. I was considering where I am in floorball, ive got a long way to go. But after the game, when everyone went back, i interviewed that player i mentioned. Hes very humble for someone at his level. He gave me lots of tips and makes it sound that its achievable to play like him. I felt encouraged after talking to him. And not just tat, im also excited on working towards a higher level of play. Although i thought those guys are good. They arent unbeatable… they lost their first match against Innebandy 8-4. Good individual skills still have to give way to good team play. Floorball is just exciting. The future is ours !!!

THE PENANG FLOORBALL LEAGUE IS FINALLY HERE !!! in fact it started last saturday. Well… 2molos gonna be the first time ill be engaging myself in the state level Penang League. This is just too good to be true. I just cant wait for tommorow.

I will be playing as a defender for the FRONTLINERS FLOORBALL CLUB. I use to play as a forward those days. But ever since i changed from a right hand shooter into a left hand shooter, ive been playing the guardsman role. I would still prefer to play a role in attack, but well.. no choice, the coach has made his decision. I will abide by it. Since everyone wants to play in attack, i had make way for the more talented ones…

Tomorrow, we the Frontliners will be doning our traditional red colour jersey for the very first time. This will be our proper jersey. I like the jersey cos it looks a little bit like manchester united’s red jersey… Kekeke… I had the honor to wear the number 7 jersey on my back. People ask me why u choose number 7? Is it because of christiano ronaldo? My answer is no. Im from the old school generation. I like number 7 because of ERIC CANTONA.. monsieur genius.. the talismatic frenchmen.. hes the reason i supported MU. He will always be my all time MU favourite player. Hmm.. btw, did u know that GOD created the world in 7 days…

The Match Analysis.

We will be facing CONTACT SPORTS in our first match. A team tat has won my respect as a floorball player. I must say, they have unity in their team. You can see that they enjoy playing together. I dont know how will we fare against them. Fyi, Contact Sports emerged as the 2nd runner up in the recent dalat league. Their key player will be the experienced Pr Edward in attack. Hes fast, tough and strong. Possesses good firm basics. Very intelligent player whom happens to be good at making use of other players in attack. A good team player. Henry Cheang will most probably start up as their attacker upfront with Sarah Ng and Si Min. Henry will provide some pace and energy for the team. In defense they will have the hard tackling defender, ms Penny Khoo, along with Peter Lim and Weang Honn. Ms Penny Khoo, although small in size, shes a tough nut to crack. She knows her role the best. Plays very well in her defensive game. Together they form one of the most stubborn defense in the league. Theyve got ppl like Melissa Leng with hard shots. This team has many woman national players in the squad. This will definitely boost up its chances of winning.

For our Frontliners, we arent too far behind. With experienced players like Captain Marvel, Steven Tay in the centre role, we will be billing on him to create the goals. A pillar of strength in the team. We have a national player, ms Serene tan as our sharpshooter. If anyone of us should score, this gal will be one of them. Not forgetting the calmest defender in the team, Mr Kenny Khoo. We’ll be betting on his hard long shots as well. Our key player will be our ace, Khor Kuan Yang whom will probably be starting as the left forward. Good ball controls, Good wrist shot coupled with enterprising runs makes him the man who can turn the match around. If he plays well, we’ll have a fair chance of winning. In the danger zone we have ms Sharron tan as our goalkeeper. Another added advantage in defense.

What is my verdict? im not sure either. Both teams have their strength and weaknesses. One thing for sure, these 2 teams know each other very well. In attack, the Frontliners have an over supply of attackers. Many of these attackers are new to the game, but highly athletic. They possess the pace and energy to provide constant attack. The question is, can they keep the momentum till the game ends. A weakness in the frontliners team is the lack of team spirit, although we know tat theyre improving on it. Contact sports have the upper hand in this matter. They have good team spirit as ive said before. Contact Sports will have a stronger defense in their line-up. Frontliners are only relying on one sole defender, Kenny Khoo in their defense. They need to diversify. Contact Sports play a very defensive game in the past. Will they conform to this strategy? Time will tell. If Contact Sports shud win, they will do so by breaking the frontliners team spirit. A snap in the team morale, the game is theirs. Frontliners must be careful in this. They musnt lose concentration in the game.

We will see in 2morrows game. May the best team win. As for me, i support both teams since we are sibling teams. But since im playing for frontliners, of course i want us to win lah… keke… All DA BEST !!! GAMBATTE NE !!!

Just came back from celebrating chinese new year in KL. Like all chinese people, we will go back to our paternal side on chinese new year eve to have our reunion dinner (Tuan Yuan Fan) with all relatives. For my case it is Alor Setar. We took a 50 minute drive from Butterworth to Alor Setar. It was really cool catching up with relatives once again.

My Cousin’s BF

One cousin of mine just came back from UK. This year is a little special for her. She brought back her boyfriend and introduced to all of us. My cousin is a pharmacist based in Manchester. Her boyfriend is a researcher in the university of Manchester. I sort of like this guy. Good personality and credentials. Hes a PhD holder in somekind of software engineering. To get urself attached in a foreign university doing research, tats impressive to me. As usual, relatives like to comment everytime someone bring back a potential husband back. I find this ridiculous. My cousin is in her 30s. Even if hes a bad guy, just get married. How bad can he be? Since my cousin is such a fussy person. But then, this time their comments on the guy is good.So I think they should get married at once. Tats it, i wont bring any gal back home, until i get married. Critics are just hard to please.. My parents will be the hardest nut to crack… Nah.. not a problem for me since ive never asked for their opinion on my personal stuff anyway.

Mee-Suah

On the first day of chinese new year, my mom will always cook mee-suah with hard boiled eggs. Its a tradition for most hokkien clan. Mee suah represents longevity. If thats true, then ill have a long life since i ate 3 bowls. :P( lame lame)

I went to KL immediately after eating those mee-suah. Everyone except my dad went down to KL. This years a bit special for me. This is the first time my parents allowed me to drive them to KL. All this while its my mom who drives. Looks like im beginning to gain more of their trust nowadays.

Chinese New Year food

While food in my fathers side is horrible ( trust me its bad ), food in my mothers side is good. I cant live without eating babi. I love the tu kah hai sem (pigs leg with sea cucumber) my aunt cooked. My aunt cooked this intestine, pork ribs with lotus soup. I think I drank at least 3 big bowls. Who cares, its too good to resist. This year we only ate at home. No tai thong (restaurant in KL, we will eat 10 course dinner) this year. Economy not so good. So we ate at home.

Visiting relative whom i dun even know their name.

I went to visit 2 of my grand uncles in malacca. Now i know where does my sanguinism comes from. My 2 grand uncles(my maternal side grand mothers brother) have this very strong sanguine trait. They are in their 60s, yet, they are so active and highly animated. And the kids just love them. They never grow up. I just cant stop laughing the whole listening to them crapping all the way. Those guys talk very loud. It sounds as though their gonna get into a fight or brawl. And i find that most of the things they say, just doesnt pass thru their mind before coming out from their mouth. ( one of my grand uncle keep asking my uncle to drink beer. My uncle said cannot, cos hes driving. My grand uncle said, nevermind, if police stop u, just tell them my name. Macamlah hes the prime minister. Hes just another rubber tapper retiree. who is he la… Tak boleh tehen).

We also went to visit my great grandmother in malacca. Shes 96 this year. Very long life. The sad thing is, shes a already nyanyuk. She couldnt even recognise anyone. All she kept saying was, please come and visit me when u all r free. Frankly, i really respect the family tats taking care of her. I dun even know wat is their connection with me( i think its my grandfather’s brother and sister). It takes a lot of effort and patience to take care a centenarian(ppl living more than 90 years old). My great grand mother is small in size and shes a hunch back. I do pity her. But i think wats there to pity, since not many ppl live tat long… shes very fortunate..

Chinese New Year was great. I really enjoyed spending time with family. I wonder wats wrong with me nowadays, Im becoming more and more like a family kind of person. Kekekeke… well tats a good thing rite? Of course, it shows that im settling down soon..
