Personality test?

Saw this test from Cindy's blog. Just give it a try because too bored...haha.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Another jokes on Ryanair

Saw this jokes in youtube and it brighten my day..haha. enjoy!

Worst Dell misprice so far!

I was surfing in the hotukdeals forum and found this crazy deal. Apparently, Dell are selling PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 SDI a graphics adapter for only £12.95!!!. This Quadro FX 4600 SDI is a PCI Express x16 card with 768 MB GDDR3 and including Digital Visual Interface (DVI) and HD-SDI.

The price for this card in street market cost at least more than £1000. I'm not bluffing here, try to search it online and you can get up to £1300. I have the proof from dell website.



For those who know about graphic card. This card is much like equivalent to 8800GTX ultra. I think it will have much enough fire power to run crysis at very high setting.

Anyway, I have ordered one from them. Even though I think it is unlikely they will honour this deal but worth a try. Maybe I can sell this in ebay and earn few hundred quids..haha.

What is in your mind when you are sneezing?

I came across this article from belfast telegraph and I found out it is quite interesting. Apparently, some researchers suggest that sneezing can be caused by sexual fantasy. Well, this idea is very new even for me and how true it is I am not sure. You can read the article here:

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/sneezing-can-be-triggered-by-sexual-fantasy-14116638.html

Well, I guess I have to try to hold on to my sneeze until there is no girls around..haha.

New friendships through facebook and friendster.

Do you ever make new friends through friendster and facebook? I guess most of you did it before and so did I. I still remember that a friend of my always use friendster to make new friends that he even don't know in the first place. Don't you think this is very odd? I mean it will be difficult to maintain the friendship. Maybe the friendship will last for several weeks and later on you don't bother to chat with them anymore or vice versa.
I have tried to follow my friend once and add several friends (basically all are girls...haha) and try to start a conversation with them. Five out of five people are willing to add me into their friend list but only two in msn messenger. Both of them is very friendly and chat with me several times through msn. Well, this is a very good opportunity to get new friends and basically I think people tends to talk more to their new friend. One of them are actually my sister's friend younger sister (hm...mebbe wrong grammer here..haha). By the way, I chat with the other girl for about month and later on I didn't really chat with her anymore. Well, I guess people need to communicate face to face in order to maintain the friendship. I also found out that it is very difficult to talk to someone through the internet.
How about you? What do you think? Does facebook/friendster friendships will last long?

Boys' Brigade part 3.

Its been a while since I posted anything. Life here was quite dull. It was like a black and white painting..haha but I still manage to get some colour in some occasions. Okay, I guess I should finish my final part on my life in Boys Brigade. Sorry for blogging so much on BB and I guess most of you are bored with my story. Anyway, I guess I should finish up what is left.

Right, my advancement in BB. Well, I start off as a private from form 1 to form 2. Being a private most of the time is enjoying the programme and activities. Always follow the instructions from the squad leader like sheeps following shepherd...haha...just jokking. Anyway, I was being promoted to Lance Corporal when I was in form 3. I automatically gain a post in the NCOs council. NCOs council includes all the non-commissioned officers from the rank of Lance Corporal to Sergeant. Slowly from there I was given more and more roles and start to built up my skills in planning, organising, leading and controlling. Then a year later, I was promoted to Corporal and to Sergeant the following year. My best time in BB is when I was a Sergeant. I was involved in a lot of tasks. I was the chairman for the NCOs council and in the same time I was the President for the BB club in my secondary school. Apart from this, I was involved in other clubs as well. I was also the President for the Maths and Science club, table-tennis club's treasurer and also a Class Monitor. I have try to drop my class monitor post but my teacher won't allow because I was the assistant class monitor when I was in form 4 (coz is the same class teacher..haiz). Even the Head Prefect ask me whether I am interested to become a prefect...haha. I'm not bragging around here but that's me when I was in form 5, enjoying my time fully.

Well, being a Chairman for NCOs council is not an easy job. I have to do a lot of things like planning for meeting, think agenda for meeting, solve problems, organising events and look after the younger committe members. The best thing about Sergeant is they have the smartest uniform...haha. I served as Sergeant and the NCOs council chairman for 2 years and later I was being promoted to Staff-Sergeant. Once become a Staff-Sergeant, I have been moved to Officer's council which includes all the officers in my company. Well, Staff-Sergeant is the lowest rank in the Officer's council...haha..but I dun really mind. I remember at that time I was studying for my Diploma in TAR college, my first year. Since my study is getting more and more busy, I didn't involve much. However, I still try to make my time to go there every Saturday. A year later, I was promoted to become a Warrant Officer. This was the highest rank for a non-Christian member and of course for me. Any higher ranks like Lieutenant and Captain will require a Chirstian member. Well, this is the rules. Anyway, I didn't continue BB since I came to the UK in 2004 to continue my degree at Queens Uni.

Well, that's all I can say about my BB life. It is really like a dream when I think again what is happening all this while when I was in BB. It is a place of great fun and I learn a lot of skills that you cannot easily learned from anywhere even when you are working. I have includes some of the enrolment pictures that I got from my friends.

Boys' Brigade - part 2

Well, I think I should proceed to the second parts on the my BB life.Today I will talk about the programme in 4th KKL BB. Hm...let me relate with previous blog. I have joined the senior section after I entered secondary school. I have to wear a new set of uniform which comprised of a buckle belt, a sash, a pair of boots and a field service cap. All these things have to be maintain properly throughout the day. One thing I can tell you is wearing a full uniform under the sun will make you sweat like standing in a sauna. Especially after the foot drill training, our uniform will be like drench in water...full of sweat. I remember the room where we change the uniform is stink due to our odour from our uniform...haha.


I remember I have been assigned in to Squad B2 if I'm not mistaken.I remember my first squad leader is Ronald Liew. Well, Ronald is a good leader and also a funny guy. Luckily, no one try to bully me maybe because my brother is a Sergeant that time...haha..good for me. We usually have two meeting everyweek. The first meeting is a short two hours meeting in our school (SMK St. Gabriel) from 12.30pm - 2.00pm and a Saturday meeting at St. Gabriel church from 10.30am to 5.00 pm. Friday meeting usually will be focusing on regular squad discussions, annoucements, foot drill and some music theory classes. On Saturday, we will be having a band training session from 10.30am to 12pm. I really enjoyed the band practice. I have learned to play marching flute, fife flute, xylophone and euphonium. Even up to today, I bought a modern flute and learn to play myself..hehe. We have been taught by the Kuen Cheng instructor for couple of years. The instructor is really strict and he demand a high standard performance. Of course lo, Kuen Cheng is top 1 or 2 school marching band in the whole Malaysia. I really learned a lot of things from him especially in marching and ochestra instruments. I have successfully obtained two badges each from brass and woodwind (flute and euphonium). They name for the badges are Bugle badge and Bandsman badge.

After the band practise, we will be having a break from 12-1pm. At 1pm, we will be having our parade for 30 minutes. At this time, our uniform will be inspected by officers and any person have unpolished belts or boots, and or untidy uniform will be punished. Well, I remember I have to do twenty push-up and run around the church ground for 3 rounds...but still my punishing rate is low...hehe. Well, after the parade went for worshipping time. As I mentioned before, BB is a Christian movement so worshipping and bible study is part of the programme. Even though I am not a Christian but my knowledge on bible is not weak. I have passed bible study stage 1 and obtained a badge in bible study...haha. However, I didn't proceed to stage two. Ah...I remember I can memorised the who sentence of John 3:16 when I was in standard 5. Well, it is a requirement for a badge exam as well but I don't really know the meaning back then..hehe. It maybe easy for those who come Christian family but for me a total new exposure, memorising it is quite difficult.


After the worshipping, we will be having a badgework session for us to learn new knowlegde. At the end of eash session, we will be having theory and practical exams. If we passed, we will obtained a badge. I'm quite proud of myself because I obtained about 18 badges and couple of stage 2 badges in five years. Also, I am the one who has the most badges in my batch..haha...defeating all other friends..hehe. The most proud badge I got is when I was a Lance Corporal. The badge is about Citizenship. I am the only person who passed the exam with quite a high mark. There are about 35-40 people in the class. As a Lance Corporal I sucessfully defeating all my superiors. I was really happy back then..it is a great moment.


All the badgework badges is worn on the right hand side. At the left hand side, there are badges can be obtained for full attendance, training and also for good UPSR, PMR and SPM results. On the left hand side, I have about 11 badges...haha. I am still the one who have the most badges on my left hand side and also right hand side for my batch...hehe. I am so "hau lian"...hahaha..but i really quite proud back then.


After the badgework session, we comes to the worst time of the day...the foot drill. I remember my mum always said I am like a charcoal back then because I'm always drill under the sun for an hour...haha. Apart from the attack from the hot sun, we also attacked from our drill commander. I think we do at least 50 push-up every foot drill session. The objectives of foot drill is to train how to become discipline, team work and listen to command. So, if one person did wrong, all people will be punished. Well, fair enough for foot drill. However, I passed the drill exam and obtained a badge. All my seniors said this is the hardest badge to pass but I manage to get it...haha.


After the drill session, it some to the best part of the day...the physical training. All of us like this session because most of the time we can play football, volleyball, table tennis and etc. Well, it is really a enjoyable session. After that about 5pm, we will gather again for fall-in to end our weekly meeting. Of course, our day didn't ends here. After that we usually went to mamak stall to eat, drinks and of course chatting. It is really fun.


Apart from normal training session, we have camp as well. I've went to a lot of camps like Gunung Nuang in Ulu Langat, Chang Mang waterfall in Pahang, Sungai Congkak in Ulu langat as well, Taman Negara at Pahang and of course at our school ground. My first camp is back in year 1998 when I was in form 2. I was Private back then and my squad leader is Keang How. He is also a nice guys and he is very taking care of his squad members. From this camp, I feel really relax and comfortable. I like the feeling of surrounded by nature..it is really nice. At some point, I really like to stay there longer...haha..want to become a native...lol. Well, I have some of the pics from my friends. He sent it to me few days ago because I didn't have it. Here is two pictures taken at Taman Negara:



Well sorry for the small picture. This is the best quality my friend can get. He scanned the photo so not really clear. If you see carefully, I am the second one from the left hand side without glasses.

This one also not really clear. I am the second again but from the left. I am wearing a white shirt with blue colar but this time with glasses.

Well, it is really a nice old days memories. H,..I think that's all I want to say for today. My next part will be my advancements in BB. From private to warrant officer..stay tuned..haha.

Boys' Brigade - part 1.

I was suppose to post my short review on my Samsung Omnia that I got last week but I haven't really try all the functions yet. Therefore, I decided to post it next time. Well, today I saw one of my friends posted some pictures on facebook. It was quite nostalgic for me because most of the pictures are the pictures he took when I was still in Boys Brigade.

Let me recall my memory. I joined Boys Brigade in 1995 when I was still standard 5 in primary school. The reason I joined is because my brother is in as well..haha...can't remember whether my brother is the one who drag me into it..lol. Well, I never regretted to join this uniform group because it really give me a lot of opportunities to learn a lot of things. I was initially enrolled into junior section which is mainly for primary school boys. By the way, Boys' Brigade is a Christian movements and at that time they only accept boys. However, nowadays they have girls...good for the boys..haha. I remember there are several other primary school boys joined as well but not from my primary school (SRK Jalan Peel). From there, I get to know couple of new friends. There is a company section which is mainly for secondary school boys (13-18 years), and my brother is in the company section that time. I remember he is already a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) and his rank is Corporal or Sergeant...em not really remember but he is definitely a sergeant in 1996.

Let me explain the hierarchy system in Boys' Brigade. It is actually same with British military system since BB was found by Sir William Alexander Smith at Glasgow in 1883. The path are from Private -> Lans-Corporal -> Corporal -> Sergeant -> Staff-Sergeant -> Warrant Officer ->
Lieutenant ->Captain. This is the system for company section while there are no ranking system for junior section. Basically, NCO are from Lance Corporal to Sergeant and Staff-Sergeant above are officers.
After i joined for a while I really enjoyed it because I can play games, singing, bible study and etc. Later on I joined woodwind section and learn to play marching flute. This was the first time I get interested in music. Frankly speaking, I really have no interest in music and I always got C or D in the music test in primary school. Apart from that, I also learned foot drill and my group joined a foot drill competition and won first-runner up. It was a very good experiences back then. Imagine when you are 12 years old and have to be very discipline in the competition with few hundred of eyes looking at you. I can tell you I am very nervous. Ohya, I think some of you might know that I have joined the University officer traning corr before. It is part of British army. From the foot drill experiences I gained from BB, I actually got praised by a Sergeant (a real army) because I did well in foot drill..haha.
After spending 2 years and couple of months in the junior section, I moved to the company section when I entered secondary school. Well, of course I start as a Private.I met more new members (I think is about 60 people). It was a very big company and there are so many names to remember..haha. My squad leader was very helpful and nice. That time I think my brother is sergeant and he is in-charge of another platoon. There are platoon A and B. Each platoon has 3 squads. In company section, we have to wear full uniform everyweek. The badges, buckle belt and boots has to be polished and maintained for the whole day. I remember I wake up at 6.30am every Saturday to polish these stuffs. It is very troublesome but fun. We always compete who has the best polished belt or boots. If we didn't polish good enough we will get punishments from the officers. Forgot how many time I have been punished, bet it is a lot...haha.
Well, I think that's all for this time. I think I will post more tomorrow. I guess it has about 5 parts..haha..all talks about my life in Boys Brigade. Until next time...cya.

Chocolate swirl cake

Another home-made cake. Well, as usual I'm using the mix that can be bought from supermarket..hehe..kinda lazy to make all by myself. This time is a bit different because I'm adding chocolate power in the mix to make chocolate swirl cake. Well, I didn't do it really good this time because I'm stirring and baking it at 11.30pm..haha..preparing for my breakfast. Here are some of the pics.


Hm..seems a bit over baked

The texture..not too bad right?

Well, it is quite difficult to draw energy to stir it. Do you know so far what is the thing I used to stir the mixture? Stirring machine? Nope...so far I am using nothing but a pair of chopstick to stir the mixture...surprise leh. Hm..I think this method can be used to train my hand muscle..haha. Okay,that's for this time..yummy!

New companion

Hm...another week is passed since my last update. Some of my friends are complaining that I didn't update my blog frequently. Well, I guess I need to do more homeworks then..haha.

Okay, today I will be introducing my new companion...that's Cactus-chan..haha. By thinking cactus as companion, I think I'm becoming a psycho already..lol. I bought this cactus from Sainsbury for only £3. Well, I always thinking of getting one and set it in my office because I am an environmentalist..pai seh..not 100%, 50% got la..haha. Here is the picture of my new Cactus-chan.




Okay folks..until next time..ciao.

New suit from Marks and Spencer!

Yesterday, two of my friends and I went to Victoria Square to try the food from Chilis. There are a lot of people in the restaurant and luckily we just waited for 5mins to get our seats. This restaurant is just opened this week so we are not surprise to see a so many people. I have only tried Chilis once in MidValley a week before coming to UK in 2004. I remember so well because that is my farewell dinner with my friends.The food is quite okay. I've ordered the Classics Fajita Chicken. It is a typical fajita chicken that I can get from some restaurant. The different is the sauce and the wrapper. It is much more better than what I got elsewhere. Well, I think I spent about £18 for that which is quite expensive because the Fajita Chicken is about £14. Anyway, the rating I gave is about 7/10. Quite low? because I'm picky..haha.

Okay need to go into my topic. On the way to Chilis, My friend and I went into Marks and Spencer to have a look around for any nice bargain. I found a suit for only £39 +£15 for trousers. The original price for the suits is £89 and £29.50 for the trousers. This is very tempting right?haha. After trying the suit and the trousers together, I found out it is quite nice and eventually bought is all together for £54. Cannot resist the temptation...haha. Ohya, the colour for the suit and the trousers is beige colour. Here are some pics.

Suit + trousers

1st pic


2nd pic

Hm...how do I look like. Okla right? Don't criticised too much okay...haha. The reason I didn't wear tie is because I would like to stay casual. that's the purpose I bought this suit.



Trying to get stronger!

Two weeks ago I have bought a 15kg dumbell from amazon at an astonishing price for only £25. The special things about this dumbell is the steel made from chrome and the retail price is about £50, so it is a good bargain. Well, the reason I bought it is quite obvious, to get stronger..haha. I know it is very easy to get injuries from these kind of training so I bought a guide book together with the dumbell to learn the correct way of using this equipment. Here are some of the pics of the dumbell.

The crome dumbell

Hopefully I can become stronger and muscular as well..haha.

Chocolato cake!

It has been quite a while again that I left my blog unattended. Well, it has been kinda busy working on my project so a bit lazy to update even I have few things to talk about. Well, I actually kind of reluctant to post today's topic because the results is not satisfactory. Anyway, hopefully won't get too much criticised from you guys..haha.
Okay enough for intro..haha. I have made a chocolate cake last week using a chocolate mix and also the icing which I bought from Tesco. It is quite easy to make the chocolate cake since it only required 3 eggs, 250ml of water and 70ml of vegetable oil. All I have to do is to put all the ingredients + mix into a mixing bowl and stirred (using my hand, a very tiring process..lol) it for about 15mins. Then put it into a baking tray (in this case self-made container from tin foil) and load into the oven. The baking process took about 30mins and the baked cake is shown below:

Chocolate cake.

This cake actually reminds me of the chocolate/pandan cake I bought from pasar malam..lol. The upper layer is very crunchy and is not that sweet. To shape into a cake, I have to remove the upper layer to make it flat. Then, I seperated the cake into 2 layers and applying icing in between. The ready made icing I bought from Tesco can be stirred at room temperature and can be easily applied on the cake. However, it is very difficult to spread the icing evenly on the cake especially at the side. Since, my hand is full of chocolate stains I didn't took and picture (I'm kinds lazy to wash my hands..haha). I have only took the picture of my final product..haha.

A slice of chocolate cake served with strawberry and fresh creams.

Classics again.

Recently, I have been quite lazy to update my blog. My frens and my sis started to ask me why I didn't update my blog. Honestly, it is because I'm lazy..lol. Today's topic is related Lili's blog. Since she introduced some classical songs (i'm just a newbie anyway), I would like to introduce this classical songs boxset that I bought last week.

The title for this boxset is The Essential Classics Collection. I bought this for just £7 from Zavvi. It consist of 6 CDs with more than 60 classical songs. Well, this is really a good deal. I actually want to buy this album from Amazon for about £10 plus delivery. It has good reviews from the buyers so I think it is worth to buy, and indeed it is. Each Cd has it own theme. The themes are Meditation, Ochestral Fireworks, Invitation to the Dance, Nocturne, Pomp and Circumstance and Grand Opera. This is a big compilation of classical songs from famous composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven and etc. I've the picture attached as shown below:


The Essential Classics Collection Album

This album is really for beginner like me. I would really recommend this album to beginner like me or even to other people who are interested in classic musics. Okay, I guess that's all for this time. I try my best to update as frequently as possible. Stay tuned!

It's Jello time!

Okay, here is my third home made dessert apart from my muffins and brownies. This time I will be making jelly or "agar-agar", which is more familiar for some people. The process of making jelly is easy but this time I will be making two layers jelly, and of course it will be more difficult. The ingredients I need are "agar-agar", water, sugar, fruit cocktail and evaporated milk. I believe the most difficult task is to determine the amount of water. I need to make sure the jelly is fully "crystallised". If too much water it will dilute the mixture and it will not get "crystallised".
First, I need to cook the agar-agar and the water. After the agar-agar is melted, sugar is added and the mixture is stirred for another 5 minutes. Next, the mixture is poured into a container which contains the fruit cocktail at the container base. The mixture is left for a while until the upper part start to crystallise. Then, I will start to cook the remaining agar-agar with evaporated milk. As usual, sugar is added after the agar-agar is melted and the mixture is stirred for another 5mins. Finally, the mixture is poured on top of the 1st layer and the mixture is left for a while until it get fully crystallised becoming a jelly. The jelly is stored in the fridge for a while until it gets chilled. At last, it is ready to be served. Here are some of the pics of the jelly.

Two layers cake like jelly.

Manage to make two of them.

A close shot to see two distinct layers.

As usual, I brought some to my housemate and my colleagues and they said is quite good..hehe. Another sucessful product..haha.

Fishy dinner

Since my food allergy is getting better, I plan to treat myself with seafood...haha. Obviously I think it is not the seafood that caused my allergy. It is probably caused by the pizza tomato sauce or the pizza dough, I mean the spices they add. The seafood I bought is actually the Cod fillet from Tesco. Well, all of you know that fish are high in protein so it is good for me...hehe.

After thinking for a while, I think simmer fish will be the best for my dinner tonight. So I simmered the fish with ginger, dried mushroom and some salt for about 10++ minutes. Finally, adding some spring onions for better taste and also to decorate the dish. Here is the finishing product produced by me.

Simmered Cod fillet with ginger, mushrooms and spring onions.

It is always difficult to determine the time to simmer a fish. If you steamed it for too long it will ruined the meat texture and if the time too short some parts are not cooked well enough. Luckily since I've help my mum to simmer fish before, this is no problem for me...haha. Hm...what kind of seafood should I cook next time? hehe...
