Matt'sUniverse: January 2009

My last few days in KL

its been a while since my last post, well the reason is because I was lazy, being in Malaysia makes me lazy, the whole time in malaysia I was trying to avoid sweating and being sticky, somedays it work when I stay in doors and somedays it doesn't work when I going out but hanging out with friends make sweating worth it. so this is what I've been up to:

hanging out with my college mates again.

this is a cool pic of Japan, it look so cool : )

awesome pic, Nipon rocks!!!

I want to visit Japan but I don't think I want to drive here : )

came back from penang

It was a busy holiday 4 me with non-stop action happening, I was sending off my maid back to Indonesia, we're gonna miss her.

guess what this is....... give u a clue, its part of my body.....
still no idea, its my toenail!!!! woho!!!! it finally came off, I was showering after cleaning my room, my toe was empty, I look and look and I found it under the chair. how cool is it, I'm definately gonn keep it.

After all the traveling, I spend the remaining of my holiday with my family, so we went a lot together, we went bowling, we played badminton, mostly its my sis, my sis newly wed husbang - Lam, my cousin - Zhen and me. we bonded and stuff, all expenses on Lam, : ).

while I was in penang, I saw a body sling bag, I really like it but some1 told me in KL sure can find better and cheaper 1, and off to KL I went to hunt 4 a bag, I went to Petaling Street, I was out the whole day and I only manage to find 2 shops which had really ugly body sling bag.
I can't believe that the whole petaling street nobody knew about the body sling bag and I had a hard time explaining it to them, I repeated my self like 20 times that day. also I din knew what it was called till later that day.

I really wanted a sling bag but could not find it, so I tried the net, google and google and google but could not find it as I did not know the name until after a while later, its called a body sling bag ppl and pls remember it !!!! So, in the end , I gave up as it was't important, my bag is still use-able so its alright and the extra cash I can spend on food instead : )

As time shorten till my departure, I had to finish my to do list and one was to go see the dentist about my wisdom tooth. I was walking 1 day to class and 4 no reason my tongue decided to go to the end of my month and there and then I found out I had an extra tooth, I din it was there.
So anyway, after my checkup, Doc says dun need to pull out and I get to keep it... happy happy

I actually have some new pic I wanted to upload but din have time, so will post it in NZ or something.

Who knew there was such a thing.

Ibumie and not Indomee

Posted by madbasketball comments (0)

I was at Mydin and Giant a few days ago and I was looking for Indomee to bring back to NZ but sadly I could not find any??? But what I found was Ibumie which looks exactly like Indomee, as for taste, I bought a packet and is going to try soon(result will be updated later), so I din buy any and waiting for more news.

Secondly when I was there, my mom was buying chicken and I notice that the chicken head was still intact but dead, so it means either it was choke to death or poison, no wound on the body. So, we would be eating poison if they were choke to death but the faster way to kill all those chicken is to poison them.

Anyway, been playing lot of basketball lately and I quite enjoy it very much. Extra pic here:

pic taken at genting.

all the snacks at genting are about to explode, can c the pressure.

well its way past new year and everywhere I go I keep hearing what's your 2009 goal, the radio keep saying, its ' insert number of day past new year' past new year and how many of your manage to keep your goal, call this number and share your story blah blah blah, I go to church and I hear the same story. so what's my goal, ntg much really, same goal for the past few years

1. try and communicate with family more
2. smile more - I do smile just not on camera or you can't see it
3.scored straight A's - study hard and smart plus focus
4.stomach 6 packs - dicispline
5.healthy lifestyle - ear right, live right and something
6.read the bible eveyrday - hardest thing to do man!!! who say christians have it easy!!!
7.Bond with friends
8.Enjoy life to the fullest and don't regret anything

so I've always been living with the same goal, only material goal change every year, I working at the end of the year and I heard its some good money so

1.I need a new phone - currently my phone sucks, I can't feel the vibration, I can't hear the ringtone and in the end ppl always ask why din pick up the phone so I'm always in a difficult situation, I blame the phone!!! So, I'm targeting the new nokia music express 5800, its cheaper than all the hightech phone which cost like 2k plus, the 5800 cost rm1300, so its really worth, plus one phone can use 4, 5 years, so its like 300 to 400 riggint a year.

2. A PS3, i'm a big fan of RPG game, like final fantasy but this game are best played on console machine and also NBA games need faster machine like this.

3. Musical instrument: I want a piano, a drum set, an electric guitar with an amp of course, a banjo, but all these are secondary item to me, if you don't understand, these things are not important and I can live without them as long as I have my guitar/wife : )

4.A car so I can travel across the country with my friends, I like travelling around the country to far places where you'll get lost and then it sort off becomes an adventure to find your way out again.

But like I said, all these are just material items and can live withou them, so I'm in no hurry no get these stuff, this items are my target for the next 5 years or so.

this is the nokia music express 5800
its a touch screen phone with only 3 keys.
I love this phone, its has everything I need and I don't think there is any other phone better than this although the design could be better but who's complaining, its a good cheaper phone.
This is my dream phone. I heard that no metal was use to make this phone but its just rumour, I mean the whole phone is plastic, new technology, carbon nanotubes and stuff. looks way cool and I like very much. its battery also the longest lasting batter in all nokia phones its a plus. 3G, wireless, big screen makes it all the sweeter. ok, I think that's enough of I, I, I and I.

New Year Drought...

Posted by madbasketball comments (1)

Eat, breath, sleep are mostly the only things I think about or worry about ever since I came back from NZ. oh and happy new year to alll who pass by this blog. so, now I'm in a dilemma, grow fat and die happy or use my brain, be creative to think of ways to make what remaining of my holiday a productive time, learn something, go for lessons or something.

Erm, recent events...

Firstly, my laptop got a new skin, I bought it when I was at PC fair, since they were selling pretty cheap at the fair why not.

I went to Singapore during Asia Conference and then I went to Singapore again, this time with my mom, I got to know her a little bit better. The pic is about a water show, forgot the name of the show, its been like really long and don't like posting a short post with only a few pic, prefer to one go finish everything.

So this was me and my mom, I don't really have much clothes when I'm at my mom hse so I make due with whatever I have, wearing the same clothes for 1 month.

And so began the water show, I was really impress and the place was packed but everywhere is Singapore is always packed, it was so packed that ppl had to line up just to enter a Gucci shop to buy a bag...

More of the show, I would like more character developement though but that's the thing with this kind of show, its not bout the character but the special effect so I think most ppl left the place impress but unfullfill I guess.

Anyway, going to Singapore means a visit to Orechard Road and Takashimaya.
The road was packed with ppl and a lot of event.

Anyway after Singapore, we had our very own christmas eve dinner, usuallyour maid cooks but during the evening, my sis who just got married, congrats, her husband and me decided to cook, my sis did the chicken, the whole chicken, she wanted a turkey something are just not worth the trouble : ). i did the mashed potato and the blackpepper souces for the chicken. Lam did the soup and wedges. So it was set, christmas eve, waited for mom to get back and we feast.

After christmas eve dinner, my family went to church for a christmas production. The line was very long, call Lev, Jeff and Nai Chen to come along. Meet up with them but sadly there was just not enough seat, the main hall was filled, both the overflow room was packed, 200 ppl were sent home. Remind me to go to church earlier!!!

So, we had picture with the cast of the production of 'Christmas @ Chang', some of them are in my cell group so I'm proud of my cell group.

A long day for me, but I enjoy it very much cuz I get to spend time with my family and friends.

After a few days rest, I was headed to Ipoh (my mom's hometown) with my cousin, Uncle and Auntie, my cousin drove (he's same age as me). Here the story of how I got pull to Ipoh, I was on the computer and my mom came to me with some news, and like all good son do, we say yes to whatever she has in her mind so that we can continue on with the computer, so I said:ok ok yes yes no problem or something like that. after I was done with the computer, like all good mom do, she told me I was going to Ipoh and I was like what??? since when, then she told me i agree and I was like... oh ok, so back to the present, travelling to Ipoh, representating my mom to visit her hometown, we toke the old rold to Ipoh not the highway so we can go to the place in the pic to eat, my uncle says the food here was good but when we were there, the shops were close.

this is where my uncle and auntie go to watch movie when they were young.
Its a small town but they found love here so whose complaining.

Reach Ipoh and here is my playful nephew.

My Ipoh relative told me that this hse was given to Datuk Michelle Yeoh for something which my memory has no interest in remembering.
I enjoy my time at Ipoh, we ate a lot, in 4 days we manage to eat up to Rm1000 and above, so yeah, we ate a lot and I mean a lot. from nice chinese restaurant to ngai choy kai to street food you name it. We celebrated new year in Ipoh and who knew Ipoh would be a happening place to celebrate new year. It was time to get back.

Oh, we kidnap our nephew to PJ, our nephew wanted to come but his parents won't let him so we kidnap him, my sis husband is in big trouble... he only stayed for one day so I guess it was alright and he reach home safely so its fine I guess. anyway, the crzy drumstick is huge, I don't know where my mom got it but its huge, I use a phone and compared and its bigger than the phone so... mom you are something to be able to find this chicken.

after coming back, I had 2 days rest and then it was off to Genting, Geoffrey's birthday was on the third but I went in the 4th. Now it only takes one hour to reach Genting. When I reach, all them were still sleeping or either half dead.

He's definitely hald dead, Jeff the birthday boy. Accomodation was free because of Jimmy timeshare thingy, I had lots of voucher so basically everything was free in Genting, only thing we spend on was food. I ate a lot at Genting, after coming back from Ipoh eating chinese healthy food, it was time to spoil my self. wahahhahahhahah

This is Jimmy. all together there were six of us, me, lev, jeff, tang and jeff 2 friends.

Onto to Genting we went. Omg man, there was ths guy who just cut everybodies line, all the way to the front and then this two aunties who also cut my friends line, it like what the hell man, what's ur problem, what your big rush. I was quite pissed off at them so I purposely talk louder in the Godola to annoy them. but after that I repented and forget about it : p

Jimmy looks good wearing this but then we were shoo off by the employee because we were not allow to try it on... good memories : P

Snow world, still got so many ppl in Genting even though school starts 2morrow, makes you want to wonder are they prepared for the year???

A nice park for couples to roam at night and so I did.

we split from the others cuz they wanted to do soomething else, the theme park was half closed since the weather was quite bad. with our plans ruined we just wonder around.

Me and Tang and we are the Blues Brother.

It was really foggy at night, yatta!!! I'm at GENTING!!!

nice entrance but one thing I was really impressed was the cleanliness of the places, after operating for so long, it was still very clean. applause are a must for genting staff workers!

nice lighting, it was so hard to take a pic beacuse of the fog.

Me and Lev were taking the bus back and so nice that the next few days Genting skyway was closed and our bus leave Genting bus station. So we had to wake up early, walk to Awana skyway, then walk to first world which is all the way to the end and wait for the bus, we reach the bus station with 2 hours to spare, so on to Starbucks for a nice warm coffee, we share a large mocha, 14ringgit, it was really big.

Jimmy super fast hand.

while waiting for the bus we goof arond.

So happen that morning we woke up early, there was this convention hall of girls, I mean like 4, 5 hundreds of them, we were walking and batch by batch they pass us, I had no idea but definately was not complaining. after a while, I saw that there were hunting for something like treasure hunts games or something. then later Lev got pull into by them, turns out they were hunting for ppl with special characteristic, there was another couple who also got pull into.
