Yakult Chew ??


Dear all,

After a moment of being absent, I decided that I need to get back on track..This year's CNY have been a really quiet one..unlike those of the previous years..Kinda sad huh?

Nevertheless, I still did managed to catch up with a few of my cousins @ Malacca..and boy,the outing with them was real fun albeit a short one though due to time constraint..


From back: Me, Fiona and Amy


From back (Clockwise): Me, Amy and errr...Fiona's hand XD


Just let me briefly list out what and where did we went to :

Morning :
- Amy came to pick Fiona and me from Fiona's place..
- Cheng Hoon Teng temple for prayer..( Suddenly feeling religious!)
- Went for pineapple tart hunting..

Afternoon :
- Went to the newly opened Aeon Jusco to escape the scorching murderous heat out there.. >< ... - Had lunch at Sushi King..
- Continue to explore the shopping complex..many stores ain't open either due to CNY or under renovation.

Late Afternoon :

-Went to visit my aunt and uncle (Amy's parents) at their work place because I have to leave for Johore the next day...
-Back to Fiona's place..took a shower and nap till dinner time ..><

Some scallop fiesta


Our "mini" Yee Sang


Loh ah~ Huat ah~ Ong ah~

And while we were at Sushi King..we sort of took some candid pics..for example :


Got pinched? (T.T)


Got " Head-Snatched" ?


Got "Chopsticked" ?


Got "Smacked" ??


Got "Chopsticked" once again...

And we were discussing something about a famous singer named "Yoga Lin"..seriously I have never heard of such person before.. Perhaps because I don't really follow those Asian Entertainment News..and I somehow find that name silly that I randomly proclaim that I shall be known as "Yakult Chew" !! *LMAO*


" Yakult " Chew and his Yakult?


Gosh...tastes soooooo....heavenly...Yakult..Good for constipation...
( sounds like some sort of inofficial Yakult promoting )

Conclusion? Hmmph...(with the proud and arrogant look)....
Just call me YAKULT CHEW !!!


After lunch,it's time for more candid shots..hee... :P



Slurppp~ I don't taste anything..only colourings...XD


Chotto Matte Kudasai~~~ Matte nehhh~~ Don't leave me..sob sob..


This is how you "catch" a girl..hee...now sweetie..you're mine..nyahahha~~


Psst..psst..Don't tell Samantha k?? *gossip gossip*


Ooops...emm emm....*speechless*..hehe



Cake anyone??





And not to be forgotten that Valentine's day falls on the same day as CNY this year~~

In my heart..there's only place for my sushis and bentos...hehe

Well...that is all for now I guess..will update you guys soon on CNY @ hometown no.2..(be patient yeah...Yakult is still trying to invoke his blogger sense)...><

Till then , take care and have a great day ahead..cheers :)


Yours Truly,

Chris a.k.a Yakult Chew the dramatic tragic sushi lover

Just A Festive Greeting From The Silent Soul

Dear all,
I am currently at Malacca, my hometown no.1 for the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration.Feeling kinda worn out though..no idea why..anyway,this will be a brief entry but I will try to keep you guys updated from time to time..
Silent Soul wishes all of you :

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
HAVE A PROSPEROUS ROARING ONE~
(
Oh..It's the year of the Tiger by the way...)
ENJOY AND HAVE FUN.. :)
P/s : To all those who are driving, please drive carefully and never drive if you have been DRINKING..

AND....

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TOO!!!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR~
(
Definitely not my favourite day of the year though..being single and all..thank God for CNY..)

P/s : CNY + Valentine's Day = Trouble..at least for those weight conscious people out there (read: ME!!)...Why so?


1. CNY =
Assorted festive cookies and delicacies and those never ending indulging sessions during open house visits.
2. Valentine's day =
Chocolates and candies..sinfully fattening comfort food..

3. Results =
Weight GAIN unless if you have the persistence and determination to control yourself and also to resist yourself from the temptation of having another helping of those sinful piece of ( fill in the blanks)...Best of luck in doing so!! :P

Lastly but not least, just have a good time folks!! After all, it is only like once a year..Ooohh..I am smelling Hari Raya Puasa already...ketupats and rendangs..but that will be another story for another time... XD

Yours Truly,

Chris C. a.k.a the Guilty Chocolate/Cookie Lover

From Me to You

Sometimes when you are unable to get the right words to express yourself or to get a message across..Music can..and here is one,something I would like to tell you albeit not in my own words..

I DO NOT HOOK UP by Kelly Clarkson

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
You got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure you found it
Slow motion sparks
You caught that chill
Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys
Oh yes they will
They don't wanna define it
Just give up the game and get into me
If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet

Oh no I do not hook up, up
I go slow
So if you want me
I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh no I do not hook up, up
I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say ... Goodnight

I can't cook no but I can clean
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beat
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last
But this is now
So love the one you're with
You want a chase
But you're chasing your tail
A quick fix won't ever get you well

Oh no I do not hook up, up
I go slow
So if you want me
I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh no I do not hook up, up
I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say ... Goodnight

Cause I feel
A distance... between us
Could be over
With a snap of your finger

Oh no..

Oh no I do not hook up, up
I go slow
So if you want me
I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh no I do not hook up, up
I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say ... Goodnight

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
'Cause you don't wanna miss out...


Yours Sincerely,

Chris C a.k.a The Unintentional Plagiariser

Awaken..Enlightenment..Salvation

Dear all,

The clock shows 2.16am and yet I am still wide awake.Have got nothing much to do besides downloading songs (The internet connection is much smoother during this hour thus making downloading much more efficient and bearable) and trying to cramp in the origins and insertions of muscles into my slow-absorbing brain without much success (Sigh~)

Last week have not been a good one for me..Everything seem to be turning upside down in my world and I am like a shadow drifting aimlessly in the darkness,searching eagerly for a sign to help me to escape from this misery..Then again,with encouragement from the people who was by my side during that dark moment ,I managed to redeem myself and stand on my feet again.I decided that it is useless to mop around waiting for the phone call or message reply which never seemed to arrive..After reading an article forwarded to me by a good buddy of mine, I realised that I am facing one particular psychological disorder known as "Emotional Dependency" syndrome.. I succumb myself to fate and time shall decide and heal this fragile broken soul of mine..Like they say "If something or someone is meant to be yours, it/they will eventually come back to you "...and if it/they doesn't..it just mean that they/it got stuck in the middle of a very bad traffic jam or got lost during the mailing process!!..hehe..Anyway,I would like to thank all those who had help me through..thanks a lot to YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU and YOU (well..although they are my saviours but not nice to mention names right? Anyway,you guys know who you are especially YOU ) :)

As for my temporary "infatuation", I don't know if you will ever happened to be reading this..but if you do, well..I would like you to know that although your unthoughtful actions hurt me and left me helpless, you are forgiven and I wish you all the best in your future undertakings..thanks for the brief but memorable time together..It has been a good experience and eye opener for the naive me..Nevertheless till our paths cross again, I whisper a silent farewell to you, my temporary "infatuation"..

Back to current issues, went to MidValley last Sunday to accompany a friend to shop for his Chinese New Year clothing. I am feeling sorry for him because he chose a wrong person for this job..(ME!!)..why? Simply because I don't really have a good sense of fashion and as far as concerned, perfectionist I may be albeit not a picky one..give me a simple tees and a pair of pants,I am ready to go..(>.<)..Then again not to say the outing isn't fruitful as he still managed to salvage a few pieces of clothing by the end of the day..fuhhh~ at least the long period of standing and walking and crowd squashing does not end in vain..and the best part of the day was that I got to watch an acrobatic show live for the first time of my life..We were just about to head back home when I noticed that a small crowd have started to gather around the centre stage..Feeling curious (Perhaps more of being kiasu and busybody),I dragged my friend along to check things out..We then pick a spot and stand there for like 10 minutes and yet there isn't anything extraordinary and yet we are wondering why are people gathering around there when there isn't any sort of performance on the stage..Feeling as if being fooled,we thought of leaving and head back home instead but in the end still decided to stay back a little longer..and I am proud to say that is the best decision made that day..the performers came running out from the backstage and the show begin...I can only say that I watched the whole acrobatic stunts with awe and excitement..sort of feeling like a small boy once again..:D Managed to snap a few pics of the acrobatic performance although some of them isn't really clear..Here is the link :
GuanXi Acrobatic Performance MV CNY 2010

Thats all for now..It is really late now and I shall keep the rest for another time..moreover I am down with a sudden bouts of mild cough..sigh..Hopefully I am able to recover before CNY..Till next time,have a good one folks..:)

Yours Truly,

Chris C. the Enlightened Kiasu Kiddo

A Broken Silent Soul's Confession

Dear all,

It is raining quite heavily out there as I'm typing this...Got caught in the rain earlier while I was walking back from the library campus back to my room..Well,at least the weather tonight would be cooler..Then I realised,while it is raining out there,the similar is occurring inside of me too..

These few days have not been a good one for me..the water supply shortage disaster..the date for my musculoskeletal paper resit is approaching soon and I have yet to prepare thoroughly..and the thought of a particular person who I took a fancy on hurts even more..There isn't much I can say over here..let me share with you the lyrics of a particular song which describes my current feelings very well..Till then,cheers to all of you..

Love,
Chris C a.k.a the disillusioned one


HAVE YOU EVER
?
by Brandy

(Chorus:)
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right?
Have you ever?

Have you ever?

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything
To make them understand?
Have you ever had someone
Steal your heart away?
You'd give anything
To make them feel the same?
Have you ever searched for words
To get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start?

(Repeat chorus)

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life?
You'd do just about anything
To look into their eyes?
Have you finallly found the one

You've given your heart to
Only to find that one
Won't give their heart to you?
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there

And all you can do is wait
For that day when they will care?

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby?
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand
How I need you next to me?
Gotta get you in my world
'Cause, baby, I can't sleep

(Repeat chorus twice)

Have you ever?

Of Steamboat and Vampires

Greetings to all,

Once again,it is a clear Sunday afternoon as well as the last day of January 2010..Time flies doesn't it..I can hardly imagine what have I achieved during this one whole month..Perhaps lots of time wasting and procrastinating as usual..

Anyway,back to the title today.."Of Steamboat and Vampires"..Haha..no,both does not relate to each other..no worries,there would not be anything about vampires enjoying a steamboat meal..

Firstly, steamboat huh?Well,a friend of mine who is an avid fan of stage drama,musical,acting etc etc and who also happened to be the president of a non-profit artistic association called "SeedismArt" directed a stage play called "The Steamboat's Story".He have been requesting me to attend this show couple weeks back and since I missed another of his show last year which was called "The Straw",I decided to make up for it by attending this show.So along with two other buddies,we head to Mutiara Shopping Complex situated at Jln Ipoh,KL where the show was held on the third day ( It is a four day show and the first two sessions was at the Theatre Hall of the HELP University College).And yeah,upon reaching the venue,we were escorted to a small little room at this place called the "Drama Cafe"..Never did I know that such a place actually existed..

As this is my first time attending a stage play drama,I didn't really know what to expect..nevertheless I took my seat and wait..the room slowly became dim...and suddenly "Poof"..spotlight..a girl with exceptionally thick make-up jumped out from nowhere..frankly speaking,I had a shock initially as I was sitting near to the place where she mysteriously appeared..haha..and so I found out that this a one-man act show..whereby the actor assume numerous roles all by himself..in this case,an actress by herself..pretty impressive..

The show "The Steamboat's Story" is about life of a middle-age housewife a.k.a Aunty..As she (the actress) narrates and acts through her way,fascinating the audience about real life fact of a housewife during preparation of the coming Chinese New Year Eve dinner and also side-tracked a bit towards memories of her younger days and lots of juicy gossips as that you will expect of a typical aunty at the market..With pretty convincing facial expression and different tone of voice and the well-chosen background music,the actress portrays not only the main character which is the housewife but also few other characters such as other gossiping aunties from the neighbourhood (sounded a lil bit like Desperate Housewives right?), the husband, parents-in-law, children etc etc..all these roles by herself.Pretty cool huh..

The show went well but towards the end of the show, using plush toys to substitute the family members of the housewife (I was puzzled as well at first),flashback of a recording showing glimpse of a news report about how a family of 4 was perished in an vehicle accident..then only I realised that it was the family members of the housewife and that the poor lady unable to accept the fact that all her beloved family members had pass on and there wouldn't be any chance for the usual CNY reunion dinner around the traditional steamboat style dinner..with that she went mad and the past memories of her family members tortured her poor soul and mind..and it was during this heart-wrenching scene,I actually cried and looking around,I realised that other audiences were either crying as well or trying to hold back their tears..

The fact that this stage show serves to remind us to appreciate each moment with our family members and loved ones before it is too late..Good storyline,good and convincing acting skills,what else could I say besides bravo and kudos..Then again,there are room for more improvements but I'm satisfied for now..:)



Hmmm..that is the rough description of "The Steamboat's Story" in my own understanding..My apologies if you find it confusing as it is hard to describe by words and it would be much better to watch it yourself though..Next..interesting..vampires..those blood-sucking mythical beings..take your guess what could it be all about..

.................well?

If you're guessing that I have turned myself into a Vampire,haha..of course not silly!! Yes,you have guessed correctly for those who managed to connect it with the movie "Cirque Du Freak : The Vampire Assistant"..LOL..But I have the feeling most of you would have connected it to another vampire-ish movie, New Moon..

It is not exactly a newly released movie but then again,yeah..this is my first ever late night (to be exact Midnight) movie at the cinema..Yes yes..I know..nothing impressive and most probably most of you have done it before me..outdated ain't I?Haha..Well,it was a last minute plan and the rest of movie had either all fully booked or left only with non-strategic seats..so the only movie left which looks appetising enough is this particular show.

To make things brief, based on a fantasy fictional book of the same title written by Darren Shan,this movie is about a young teenage named Darren Shan (errr...don't ask me why the author and the main character of the book/movie shares the similar name) who was turned into a half vampire and were forced to join the travelling freak show circus in order to save his best friend, Steven who then ends up opposing each other in a battle between the vampires and the vampaneezee...Yeah,that is more or less about it..with appearance of famous actors and actress such as Ken Watanabe (The Chairman from Memoirs of Geisha), Salma Hayek , John C.Reily etc etc..haha.. I can only conclude that its a fast-paced storyline movie but can be considered worth watching for those who are into fantasy and vampire-related movies..:)



Erm...hello?Ladies and Gentlemen,we have now reached the end of the "show"..hope that you people enjoyed the sleep "show" and once again,thank you for dropping by..very much appreciated..Hope to see all of you again..till then,au revoir..cheers and have a good one.. ;)


Yours Truly,

Chris C. a.k.a the steamboat fascinated vampire wannabe :P

A new beginning

Dear All,

It is a sunny afternoon as I'm typing this post..oh well,a typical Sunday..accompanied by the music playing on my laptop and the sound of construction from the first floor of my block..not exactly a quiet Sunday after all..haha..

I was quite surprised at myself for wanting to start my own blog too after reading a few of other's.Actually I used to have one myself two years back but I have forgotten my username and password for that particular account..haha..must have gotten old already..which is another reason why I should have my own blog..to preserve all the memorable events of my life starting from now so that I can look back when I'm old (that is if I can still remember my password and username for this account too!) and laugh at all those silly things I have done during my younger days..haha..

Hmm,I guess that is all for now..Let this be a new beginning in my life..Leaving all the bad behind and cherishing all the good things in the present time..:)

Cheers and have a good one folks!


Yours truly,
Chris C
