Swan Lake

Hooray! I have finished my swan sculpture for my Culinary Arts & Design 1 practical. Here's the end result of all our hard work..

Panties Galore!

Darren n I went out with Krystal, Thivya, Ling n Szen to 1U on the election day. We were on the way to Ling's hse to go fetch her n guess wat we all saw lying on the road.. PANTIES!!!

Lollers!!! Best of all.. there were a few of them n they were all in a few different colours. There was even a black lacy one!

We drove pass them laughing our heads off. We even drove back to the place after fetching Ling to show her the hilarious thing we saw n even stopped at the side of the road to take a few shots of them! Lollers..!

Of Japanese Buffet & Magical Creatures

Went to 1 U again today with my mum, Darren n Hsin Yue. We went to eat at the Japanese buffet restaurant, Shogun. Lotsa yummy scrumdilliyumshious Japanese food to choose from!

After filling our tummies to the brim, we headed to the cinema to catch the premiere of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Really fun n exciting. Makes you jump off your seats a few times when some scary creature jumps out off no where. Fairytale n mystical creatures story should really give this movie a try.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spiderwick Chronicles

From the beloved best-selling series of books comes "The Spiderwick Chronicles," a fantasy adventure for the child in all of us. Peculiar things start to happen the moment the Grace family (Jared, his twin brother Simon, sister Mallory and their mom) leave New York and move into the secluded old house owned by their great, great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. Unable to explain the strange disappearances and accidents that seem to be happening on a daily basis, the family blames Jared. When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what's really going on, they uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the creatures that inhabit it.

Dancing at the Streets

Went to watch Step Up 2: The Streets with Darren n Louise today at 1U. Finally!

The show was freaking supercalifragalisticexpialidoshious-ly AWESOME!!! Darren n I have agreed.. we're SO gonna buy the DVD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Up 2: The Streets

When rebellious street dancer Andie lands at the elite Maryland School of the Arts, she finds herself fighting to fit in while also trying to hold onto her old life. When she joins forces with the school's hottest dancer Chase to form a crew of classmate outcasts to compete in Baltimore's underground dance battle The Streets, she ultimately finds a way to live her dream while building a bridge between her two separate worlds.

Vandalized Anthem

Krystal n I saw a really funny thing at college on Tuesday. It was a piece of paper with our KDU Colleges' anthem, that was written in conjunction with the colleges' 25th year celebration. This paper was pinned up on the notice board outside the library, near the lift.

Anyways, the funny thing about it was that someone has 'vandalized' it by writting some 'extra' words to the lyrics. Really, really funny!!!

Here's the vandalized lyrics..
(the 'extra' words are in italic n in orange)

We will run with all our strength - and die panting
We will shout with all our hearts - if our hearts had a mouth
And we will dance and sing - and we won't learn a thing
Our dreams become reality - as we burn money
We will not stop until we see - a brick wall in front of thee
The youth within us shinning through - and they are stupid fools
We will soar and catch the fire together...forever - in hell!

Climb, climb up the highest mount - and jump off, no doubt
Dive, dive the deepest sea - and the pressure murders thee

A Funeral To Remember

Here are some pics taken by my dad through out the whole day of the funeral for my great grandmother on Monday, 3rd March.

the Buddhist monks doing some prayers before we all took off to Tanjung Malim..

we all did the tradisional Chinese funeral walk off before boarding the bus..

we're all here waiting at the side of the road after the toll to Tanjung Malim..

why u might ask..

because the hearse the undertakers used to transport the coffin was so old..

it broke down!

so, we had to wait for a tow truck to tow the brocken down hearse away..

n also for a new hearse to replace it..

we all made a final walk off along the streets of Tanjung Malim..

the Buddhist monks did some final prayers

before the undertakers covered her grave..

some of us who were Christians n also some older folks

stood at the side to watch..

lunch time!

we all ate A LOT as we were all starved..

Memoirs of the Fong Family Matriarch

In Loving Memory..


Lai Yew Mooi, 103 (1904 - 1 March 2008)


She was our Fong familys' matriarch. She passed away at about 4.20pm, js after the maid wiped her n changed her clothes.

According to my aunt, she was really loved n respected by all my family members because she used to smuggle as much food n necessities as she can to our family members who became refugees during the times when Japan conquered Malaysia. She was really putting her life in danger because these ppl were wanted by the Japanese soldiers for helping those refugees.
