BBQ Party At Lychee's House

I went to my Lychee’s house to have BBQ with my friends last Christmas Eve. It has been some sort of a tradition that we do every year. We have been doing this BBQ party every year since we were Form 1. Well, it’s not actually a party because it was always the five of us who went to the party which comprised of Liew, Meng, Calvin, Lychee and me. It might be a little different this time because we might be going our separate paths after this year. Lychee will be going to college or matriculation just like what his father had planned for him. The rest of us might be going to further our education in Form 6. Anyway, who can predict the future?

We did the BBQ just like what we did during the previous years. All of us contributed something to the BBQ. Lychee bought the chicken wings, Liew bought some bacon and sparkling juice, Meng bought more sparkling juice, Calvin bought hot dogs, pork balls and chocolates while I bought black seedless grapes.


Hey, who curi makan!!! Why so few left in the end.

We arrived at Lychee’s house at around 7 p.m.. Unfortunately, we just realised that we were out of “huo zhong” (the thing you use to light up charcoal). With no “huo zhong”, we tried using newspaper as an alternative to light up the charcoals but to no avail. The newspaper won’t burn long enough to light up the charcoal. Even if we shrivel them up, the flame isn’t big enough to light up the charcoal. Then, Liew suggested we burn the charcoals using the gas stove at the kitchen until they are lighted up. However, that will consume a lot of cooking gas. Then, Lychee’s dad brought some candles as a substitute for the huo zhong. ~Sigh~. Why didn’t we think of that sooner? Well, the candles worked perfectly and we successfully lighted up the charcoals. It’s not easy task to light up the charcoal. After the charcoal started to burn, we still need to fan the charcoals to provide sufficient oxygen for the charcoals to continue burning. Otherwise, the fire will be extinguished after some time and all our efforts would have been wasted. We took turns to fan the charcoals.


Ooo, fire spirits. Heed my calls. I, Calvin, command thee to rise.

After the charcoal started to burn immensely, we started our barbeque. We started off with the chicken wings as they need more time on the fire before they are edible. The BBQ is self-serviced. That means if you want food, barbeque it yourself. Then, we put Liew’s bacon on the fire. Yum Yum. The bacon tasted really good. It’s one of my favourite foods too. After that were the hot dogs and pork balls. Then, we settled down and chatted while enjoying the grapes that I bought. We talked about many random topics. Then, Liew recommended we fry some eggs on the plate if we were still hungry. Lye agreed and wanted to tried it. However, as we know, eggs will stick on the plate if you fry it without putting some oil on the plate. So, he only fried it until it is half-cooked. That means the yolk is still liquid. Liew told Lychee that the half-cooked yolk is good stuff and insisted Lychee to suck it but Lychee can’t stop himself from feeling disgusted by the yolk. Hey, even I dislike half-cooked eggs. What happened next really made us laugh until our stomach hurts. Liew told Lychee that if he doesn’t want to eat it, he will. Then, Lychee told Liew that he’ll eat it on one condition. He proposed that Liew sucked half of the yolk and he sucks the remaining half. In Chinese: “Ni si ei dien, wo si ei dien” Hearing that not only made our hair stood up but we also felt so disgusted. Oooo man, it was so disgusting to hear that. Liew immediately gave back the egg to Lychee after hearing that. At 10 p.m., we packed and cleaned up the place.


Trying to barbeque the bacons.


Emmm, smells good.



Removing the bacon.


Perfectly barbequed.


Emm.. emmm, give me more...I want more....Must have more....



Lychee!!! Calm down! Suicide won't solve your problem.



She loves me. She love me not. She loves me. She loves me not.....



Yuck. Something Lye's dad prepared.



No.1 wanted criminal drinking coffee in jail.



Leftovers.



I can hear the full moon calling out to me. Aaawuuuuu....



The grand finale.

K310i

Yeepee. I bought a new mobile phone last week. It's a new Sony Ericson K310i. The one I bought is a silver coloured phone. I chose it over the shadow blue colour as this one looks more stylish. It has an MP3 player, a 0.3 megapixel VGA camera, infrared, 15 mb of memory, built-in internet browser, supports GPRS and MMS, etc. At first, I wanted to buy the K320i which comes in black colour but I changed my mine as it would cost me an extra RM50. The only difference is that K320i has bluetooth technology while K310i does not. Why do I need a bluetooth anyway? I prefer my white teeth than a blue tooth. Besides, if I want to transfer any files such as music, pictures, videos and so forth, I can do it with MMS or infrared. It would be the same. Even though the camera isn't as sharp as I thought, it's better than none. Now, I can take pictures whenever I want to. The only thing I feel remorse is not buying the phone sooner. Otherwise, I'll be able to capture all the pictures of the scrumptious snacks and superb watches I saw during my trip to Starhill. Another great feature of this camera is that I can also add special effects and clip arts on the pictures I took via the phone. I can just edit the pictures using my phone without transfering it to my PC. This mobile phone cost me slightly more than my budget which is RM250 at first. I was forced to buy this phone as there are no camera phones that are below RM300. I bought this at a price of RM320. I fell in love with the sleek design of this phone at first sight. Here's what my new handphone looks like.










Below is one of the effects I added to my friend's face using my phone. He's gonna kill me if he sees this.

My To-Do list

World War 3 is now over and finally I will have a few months of peace ahead. I have been wondering and thinking for the past few days now. What should I do to keep me occupied until my SPM result is announced? I have at least 4 months of holiday ahead of me. What should I do? I can't be wasting my time playing computer games the whole day. Besides, I have started to get bored with playing computers and surfing the internet. I want to do something new and novel. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do during my holiday? Is there any activity that is fun and beneficial at the same time? This is basically one of the longest holiday I will have in my entire life. I might not get to experience such a long holiday for the rest of my life ever again. I want to spend this holiday doing lots of stuffs. I want to learn many things. Here's a list of what I want to do during my holidays:
  1. Learn how to swim
  2. Work as a part-time tutor
  3. Learn how to cook
  4. Do some house cleaning
  5. Read books and newspaper
  6. Blogging
  7. Watch animes
  8. Play Ps2 games on my computer by using a Ps2 emulator
  9. Get a driver licence
  10. Go shopping with some friends
  11. Jogging in the morning and play badminton
  12. Learn mandarin

Unfortunately my dad is currently unemployed and he hasn't found a new job yet. So, money is a factor that I have to consider when planning my activities. Currently, my 10th option which is learn to drive has been cancelled due to financial problems. At first, I planned to learn to drive now since this is probably the longest free time I will ever have. Now, I might also need to cancel my plans to learn to swim depending on the fees. ~Sigh~, sometimes I wished that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. (That means have inherited wealth since born). If only I'm rich and have lots of money. I could have learnt so many thing and do so many stuff. However, I might grow up as a spoiled spend thrift in the end. Could anyone suggest some good ideas on what I can do during the holidays? Or even better, donate some money to me. :p

The Day Before The Battle

Since I have been busy preparing for my SPM recently, I haven’t been able to update this blog. For your information, last Friday was the last paper which I have to sit. Now, I’m a free man at last. Every time I sat for the for examination, I tried to remain as calm as possible. I tried not to stress myself out but those endeavours were to no avail. Depending on what the subject I was going to sit for, I can be either super stressed or totally frivolous. Let’s talk about the subjects which did not stress me first. These subjects are what I would like to express as easy and trivial. Those who sat for SPM will surely know what those subjects are. They are the usual modern maths, EST, English, accounts, and moral. For me, I have always been confident I can ace in these subjects. Most of the examinees feel so jittery and afraid when sitting for these subjects. Even on the day we sat for EST, I can see many students reading revision books for EST. At that time, I was like “Oh my goodness!!! These people really studied for EST”. My friend, Lychee also studied for EST. The day before we sat for EST, he read the whole textbook. I on the other hand was only playing computer games, surfing the net, did some add maths, and sleep. If you are a science stream student in Malaysia, you’ll surely understand what EST is like. It is a trivial subject which is totally abrupt. All you need is a good fundamental knowledge of English in order to pass with flying colours in EST. In fact, during the first week, I was so relaxed and nonchalant that I had dreams every time I slept at night. Some of the dreams were so eccentric and hilarious that I briefly typed them on a notepad as soon as I woke up.

This is what I dreamt on the day before I sat for the EST paper:

Nightmare 1Afraid
I dreamt that I went to my aunt’s house to have lunch together with other relatives. It was supposed to be like a reunion dinner where all of our relatives came and eat together at one big round table. In that dream, I was so clumsy that I kept being scolded by my aunts. When I helped to prepare the lunch by bringing out the dishes, I dropped the vegetables on the floor. When we ate lunch together, I dropped rice everywhere on the table and the floor like a 5 year old child eating his rice. I got bombarded by my aunts so badly. It was so embarrassing and scary.

Lovely dream 2 Beating
After the eating the lunch in the first dream, I washed the plates and the cutleries at the kitchen. Then, all of the sudden, Pei Wen just popped out of nowhere into the kitchen. I was shocked too. Then, I felt this urge in me to tell her how I felt towards her. I felt that as though it was the perfect opportunity to express my feelings towards her. I had totally forgotten what happened earlier in the first dream. I immediately grabbed her hand and told her how much I like her. It was really a wonderful dream. Guess what happened next. She accepted my feelings and agreed to be my girlfriend. As soon as that happened, every thing started to fade away and I woke up after that. When I woke up, I was so disappointed and angry. DAMN IT!!! WHY THE GOOD DREAMS HAVE TO BE SO SHORT WHILE THE NIGHTMARES HAVE TO BE SO LONG!!! I wished that that second dream could be longer. At that time, I really wished that I could experience what it is like to be her boyfriend in my dreams even though I know I can’t do it in reality.

Hilarious dream 3Laughing 2
After the 2nd dream, I went back to sleep as it was only 4 a.m. In my 3rd dream, I dreamt about my 1st day of Form 6. It was early in the morning and I got ready to go to my new school at SMK Taman Tasek. When I arrived at the school, I realised that I went to the wrong school. I went back to my old school at SMK Taman Kosas. Then, I borrowed a few ringgits from my friends and ran out to hail a taxi. I told the taxi to drive me to SMK Taman Tasek. For your information, I watched the news on television on the latest tactics used by some taxi drivers to con tourists before I went to bed. After a sitting in the taxi for a while, I noticed something is wrong with fare metre. The amount of fare rose so quickly that when we stopped at a junction just as the traffic light turned red. In a few seconds, the digits on the fare changed so fast that the fare had summed up to more than RM400. I was so shocked and thought to myself that something is wrong with the metre. Then, I realised that the taxi driver was holding a wire on his right hand and was flickering the wire against a piece of metal which is connected to the fare metre. Realising I was being conned; I immediately alighted from the taxi and ran towards Kah Meng’s house which was surprisingly near that time. When I reached his house, I asked his help as I was late for my first day of registration at my new school. Then, Kah Meng and his mother agreed to help me. They decided to disguise as my parent in order to help me. Then, they took out a book and started to practise to speak in a British accent so that they would appear as noble people. It was really a funny dream. They practised the usual dialogues that you would usually hear in a comedy show on television like “Ooo, how do you do madam principal? Today is a fine day isn’t it? How about a cup of tea?” After listening to them practising their British accent for a while, I woke up, and realised that it was already 8 a.m. and the sun was shining in the sky.

The dreams were so weird that I would laugh whenever I try to visualise the dreams. I hope that I can have the second dream again.
