SRB Chung Hua Pending 60th Anniversary Celebration

November 19, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

Went to my alma mater’s 60th anniversary celebration just now. The celebration was at Jubilee Hall. OH MY!!! I couldn’t recognised most of my former teachers -_-” only could recognise a few but I didn’t talk to them. They were too busy and I’m busy minding my own business too, that’s taking pictures 😛 I didn’t see many ex-classmates or ex-schoolmates there. Hmmm… Ah well… Maybe it’s because I sat at somewhere faraway from most people as I was sitting with the students becuase there were extra seats. I was there to fill the seat. Dad was one of the organizing committees therefore my mom, my bro and I were there just to fill the odd seats 😛 It was packed! Around 700+ ppl attended.

L-R: Special magazine just for the occasion; The VIP seats and the stage.

The arrangement of VIP seats and the normal seats.

The crowds and dance preformance by a local dance group.

More performances. See the sexy girl? She’s my junior 😛 Karaoke queen yo!

Ribbon cutting ceremony by the those big sponsors.

Singing of birthday song, blowing the candles and cut the cake. The cake cost about RM200++

Let’s go to the food. The food is from “Yi Yuan” Teochew Restaurant.

Lost in Translation

November 1, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

Two more months to go to 2007. If you have noticed, usually end of the year, I’m turning into a devil. I would complain, rant, scold, pick on people or whatever… It seemed like the devil is coming now…

Remember that during Raya there was a news saying that the government is going to prosecute whoever that tarnish our national language such as mixing it with other languages. It had caused quite a debate in the Internet, be it in the forums or blogs.

LOL… Kiss my ass for that! It won’t work. You know how they can’t even stick to their own rules and expect us to stick to it? What a shame!

Click to read…(almost 500KB)
I read The Borneo Post on Monday and stumbled upon this article. It’s super hillarious!!! I think you should read it too. The author really did a good job in this article. With this… What do you think about that “law”? Is the cock talking or what? Ah well.. The article might not be 100% related but still it’s about our national language and English. I can do better translation than those people yo~

GO! Read it and have a good laugh over it! By the way, it will only work on those that know Malay language else you won’t get it at all. HAPPY READING or according to the article it would be GEMBIRA MEMBACA!!!

Wedding Bells are in the Air

October 1, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

Wow… so many weddings this year. Yesterday(30.9.2006) I went to not-so-familiar-friend marriage registration. Well… Actually I’m just being a busy body and went there to help them take photos though I know my photo taking skill sucks big time 😛 Since Jimmy was required to take video of the ceremony, there’s no one to help take photos so I went LOL…

It’s at the same place as Ann’s, Teochew Association. However, the way they conducted it was different. The couples could choose the language they want. This time, it’s in English and Teochew dialect.

It was pretty interesting. There were two of them registering at the same time. Hmm… How to put it? Let’s just put it this way… Couple A is the witnesses of Couple B and vice versa.

Ely(the guy with blue stripes tie) and Cindy(the girl in blue blouse with ribbon) were the witnesses for Ngen(the guy with dark coloured tie) and Priscilla(the girl in blue blouse) and vice versa. Ngen and Priscilla had theirs in English; Cindy and Ely had theirs in Teochew dialect.

Here’s the photos of the couples after signing the certificates:

Wish them all the best in their marriage 🙂

Hmm… this is the third and fourth marriage registrations that I attended this year and 5 couples got married(I didn’t attend Mei’s registration) this year. First was Ann’s, then Alysha’s, next was Ngen and Priscilla, then Ely & Cindy. Anymore coming? It’s such a good year for people to tie the knots don’t you think?

Kuching International Airport

September 15, 2006 sweet surrender No Comments

BANDWIDTH SUCKER IS COMING!!!! MAKE WAY!! MAKE WAY!! 😛

We are going to Kuching International Airport today!!

Sent my sister off to UK this afternoon(I’m going to UK for holiday next year!!! 😛 Just a plan, don’t know got enough money or not hahaha…) and took the opportunity to tour the airport and took some pictures of the newly renovated airport.

Top and bottom left: The departure hall entrance.
Bottom right: You can buy some stuff here. Chocolates, perfumes, clothings etc.

This is where you check in your luggage. MAS check-in counters.

The whole picture of the departure hall. The chairs provided weren’t enough. We had to stand most of the time. Some had to sit here(right picture). What kind of impression given to people? They should have more seats!

Left: Air Aisa check-in counters.
Right: Escalators and staircase that connecting the departure and arrival halls. Departure is upstair and arrival downstair.

We look for the viewing gallery hoping that we can see the the runways and aeroplanes and the view of people waiting to board the planes. We walked towards the end and it was disappointing enough!!! You call this international airport?!?!!? It’s so small, the viewing gallery is so SMALL!!! It’s almost the same width as my bedroom!! *faint* You can only see Terminal 1-4 and can only see one plane right in front of you! AMAZING!! Don’t you think? *shake head*

The arrival hall. There’s a convenience store.
Bottom right: The exterior of arrival hall.

Left: Another angle of the arrival hall’s exterior.
Right: Carparks.

Some views from the outside of the airport.

Hmmm… there are still parts of the airport under renovation. It’s not completed yet. Oh… the enquiry counter seemed empty for the 1 and half hour I’m there.

That’s about it. Our international airport with not much international flights coming in and out as they were all axed such as direct flight to Perth and Frankfurt. I’m really not sure to be proud of it or not? Personally I’m pretty disappointed with it. Maybe I had put too much expectations on it.

Again… Welcome to KIA!
