Man United Asia Tour 2009

Manchester United has confirmed the date for Asia Tour 2009 friendly match against Malaysia to be on the 18th July 2009.

Ticket price from RM58 to RM308 according to ManUtd.com

Finally, they will be here!!! After 8 years of waiting and nearly happen 2 years ago until AFC screwed it up with the AFC Championship that saw Malaysia conceded 12 goals and scored only 1 in group stage eventually became the worse co-host performance.

The attendance for all the matches held in Bukit Jalil stadium is so low that just 1 match against Manchester United could have cover all the loses.

This time, die die also must go. Hoping to get the most expensive tickets and meet the players. Just get to know that my this term break only until 5th July. So will make second return 2 weeks later after new term started. So not going to miss this opportunity and so gonna fully charge my camera's battery and clear my memory card just for this!!! Maybe get an extra memory card. haha!!!

Hopefully they will come to Malaysia as the World Champion, the European Champion for 2 consecutive years as well as the English Champion for 3 years in a roll. Oh, maybe we will be the first to see players in action in the latest jersey for next season with new sponsorship. 

Glory Glory Man United!!!

29.04

The whole world is alert on the swine flu now, although Singapore and Malaysia got no related case happen yet. But still have to take care of ourself.

Take care my friends and family especially those in other country.

the best selling mask now...

If want to earn money, start selling masks now!!!

ohya, need to come out with a business plan for my Innovations and Entrepreneurship's individual assignment. I have come to this point whereby I asked myself, what do Singapore need now?? the answer is still I dont know because they have almost everything and it seems like everything are quite well in place. 

any ideas from the reader??

ohya, I have also concluded that I wont be getting any keys and my auntie has no intention to give me 1 set as well. This conclusion comes after the day my aunt and uncle came back from Genting. If they have the intention to allow me to own a set of the house keys, they could have just ask me to keep it. But everything back to normal again...

so, no keys life is back on track again.

Did I mentioned about my aunt actually gave me a how to open the house door, pad lock and gate lesson the day before she went to Genting?? I was speechless at that moment and still speechless when I think about it again. Her reason is scared I dont know how to open those locks. sigh, older generation mindsets....

ohya, Man United has confirmed the Asia Tour to Malaysia is on the 18th July 2009. Yahoo!!! Cant wait for that and so gonna buy the VIP ticket. Heard can meet the players with those ticket. *wink wink wink (saliva dripping...)

so the random 2...

4 days of freedom finally over just like that. Today is my last day of holding the house keys or having keys in my pocket when I leave the house.

I am doing a William's style entry these few days...cause really dont have much to talk about in my life. William certainly is having a more happening life in Manchester and he leave all the updates to Kar Teng.

Compared to mine here in Singapore, what is there to do here?? Singapore got nothing special to do besides spend money. No place to go at all and the biggest problem for me is I got no money to spend. So, the limitation has gone to the most limit-est ever.

I actually spent my days sitting at home and play games, watch movies and online. Instead, my introvert cousin sis went out whole day on Sunday. DAMN!!! But good for her.

Since nothing much to share, I share pic with you guys...

Sunday evening after rain...

sun setting far away...

sun set behind the apartments...

ohya, very randomly one day when I was walking back home. A little girl jay cross the road by using the car slow down hump kind of thingy that have fine yellow lines across while the parents still waiting at the oposite side. After that, they came over and nag her by telling her that is not a zebra crossing, it is for car to slow down only. =_="

parents....

looking at the sky is what while walking on the street...

very the random...

during my 3 weeks holiday in KL, I found something very random to talk about...

No. 1...

this poster can be seen almost everywhere from newspaper to cinema. But 1 thing I found it very weird and funny, which is the names of these actors.

Obviously, we Malaysians know who is Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu. But who the heck is Anglia??
3 main actors on Shinjuku Incident's poster and somehow the sponsor took over the name of the least famous actor among 3 of them. Maybe not to Japan, but I am sure he is an unknown among Malaysians. If he is one of the famous actor or superstar, most probably he will show sour face during preview if he saw this poster.

No 2...

where is Sharline???

the longest ad we can see in Malaysia's advertising industry. call me asshole or jerk, but I seriously want to know, where is this girl?? is there still hope to find her?? I have no idea at all. Perhaps it is time to move on???

No. 3...

what a tie!!!

this school must have some fucked up uniform's designer...poor kid who force to wear this super striking orange color tie everyday. But look at the bright side, teachers and parents dont have to worry he will get bang by cars if he jay cross the road. It is brighter than traffic light!!! even Vin Dessel will stop his Mustang while chasing Pheonix.

Talk about racing, few weeks back its all about speed racing in KL..

we have Formula 1 Grand Prix in Sepang. Unfortunately the race didnt finish cause of heavy rain and Sepang Circuit become river instead.

and also Ferarri display in Pavilion along with Formula 1 week...

just take a photo of it for the sake of taking it...I am not a car person.

at the same time, that week was when Fast and Furious 4 showed in cinema. Not sure about the traffic accident rates in KL for that week, hopefully it was a low one. If not, government might ban all these soon...

well, the point is the direct translation for the movie's titles.

I bet all of us before we discuss how cool is Vin Dessel or how cool is those cars, we will first start with...

"did you saw it?? Pantas dan Ganas 4?? hahhaa...laugh my ass out with that"

I know this is super lame and old story. It is also very common for us who watched movies in Malaysia's cinema.

I only watched few movies in KL, so the following are several my own translation based on my BM knowledge...just to make fun of it for the sake of making fun of it.

when west meet east...

when you gave a pack of macaroni to a lady who only like to prepare Chinese cuisine and worse there is no sauce to go with the macaroni or not even a slice of cheese.

what is the solution for this Italian thingy if you dont want to waste it and cant wait to buy a jug of white sauce??

ofcourse you will still need to cook these macaroni.


maybe not the western way but more like the eastern way of using hot boiling water to get them ready...

but what to eat with these macaroni??

tomato sauce?? chilli sauce?? or mayonnaise??

this is when cross culture come to place.

cook it the way you always cook...

TADAAA~~ Meat Ball Macaroni Soup anyone???

yes, you are right and I am not kidding you.

That was my lunch for today. My aunt prepared it...I was a bit shocked and feel like laughing my ass out loud when I saw this, but I still finish the whole bowl.

Its great to try new thing...especially when west meet east...

freedom~

After entering second term for 2 weeks

After nearly 4 months of staying in Singapore

After all the noises I have made

After trying very hard to avoid any unwanted incident to happen

After being a very good boy that wont make my mom worry

Finally...finally....finally!!!!

I WILL BE HAVING A SET OF HOUSE KEYS!!!
(applause, cheers, scream....)

for the next 4 days only

why?
cause aunt and uncle going to Genting...so I can hold the house key.

but out of all the time, I got a chance to have the house key at the most inappropriate timing.

I AM UNDER BUDGET NOW LA WEI!!!

with 4 days of total freedom and weekend is coming...as a normal teenager, this is the best time to go party until late night.

but all I will be doing is stay at home or just walk around without spending. still a good boy no matter what. yes, I am damn good at controlling my expenses ask people around and they will know.

bad timing...sigh~

the time when I want to save money and cut down my expenses, now I have to spend money for at least 2 meals per day. damn!!!

cannot online often as well due to the limitation I have until 14th May. Stone and finish up my movies as well as re-watch Family Guys is my plan. haha

even with keys, all I see is blue sky behind the cage.

not an emo entry anyway, dont worry...I am pretty fine now.

DOOMED!!!

Monday, I got the shocked of my life. Reach home from class and found a letter on my bed. It was from Singtel regarding to my mobile broadband's monthly bill. Open it and read...I cant say a word when I saw the total amount.

SGD 554.06!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (SGD 36.25 is 7 % tax)

(every fucking things here need to pay 7 % tax, even receiving phone calls!!!)

(please dont convert it to RM when you are reading this, it will hurt me more if you do so)

WHAT THE FUCK??!!!

I was then doomed for whole evening and couldnt really cheer myself up with anything. Not even a naked lady standing in front of me.

Their bill is kind of weird, instead of mailing you the bill at the end of the month. They chose to do it at the middle of the month. Which means they charge from half of the month to another half of the month.

Went to their center at Bugis Junction where I applied the mobile broadband from to ask about it today. Funny thing is, you can apply there but they cant check anything about your bill at that place. You have to actually call their billing department to ask about it.

FINE!!!!

Give them a call and the customer service lady said, you over use it and its stated there. From 14 March to 13 April. Every MB extra after the limit of 30GB will charge 0.05 per MB.

I was in KL from 21th March to 11 April!!!

From 14 March to 20th March and 12 April before they mail the bill, I was in Singapore for 7 days only. And I over used 7GB according to the bill that cost me SGD496.86. (according to bill) This is after deducting SGD 20.95 of that 30GB inclusive of 7% government service tax.

Who the fuck is so stupid to over use it which cost more than what should be pay for a unlimited usage and get a 30GB broadband??? I apply 30GB because I know I cant finish using it and I keep track with what they provided.

My latest usage for this month....

14.22GB + 9.18GB = 23.4 GB

But she told me go to their website to monitor my usage.
The sales person who do the registration for me didnt tell me shit about it. So I just keep on track with what I have and I did not exit the limit at all. I got home and I check on their website and found out this.

I was nearly 5GB more than what I normally keep track on. WTF???!!!!

Where does this 5GB came from???!!!

Ask her for solution and end up she minus SGD 100 for me since I am a student and that is the best she can do. I am still not satisfy with it but nothing much I can do now.

I just feel so so so sorry to my mom cause it is not a small amount. I feel super guilty now not on my stupidity, but abit angry because they didnt give proper information when I applying it.

I felt like I got conned now. The biggest fraud on my life and again, I want to apologise to my mom.

SORRY MOM!!!!

I will pay it with my salary back in Malaysia. Will tighten up my budget for the next few months. No more fast food, limited eating outside and no more unnecessary purchasing like snacks, drinks, books or anything that is not needed. Only will spend a meal a day if have class, top up EZ link card as well as my rental.

the Singaporean culture affected me on what I did. Because I thought I will be away from Singapore for 3 weeks and I still have around 15 GB to use in less than 1 week. But now I kena kaw kaw...the kaw-est I ever got.

I have to pay SGD 445 in 2 installment to clear it. I am in the worse situation I faced so far. Worse than Man United got knocked out from FA Cup by Everton on penalties. Seriously it is worse!!!

I have to actually pay for something that I dont even know I am using it. If I know this will happen, must well I apply the unlimited one right?? what for I pay so much extra??

I AM INNOCENT!!!!

Now I have around 2Gb to be use for the next 22 days. WTF???!!!!

Will go back to college and use the college internet once again. No more unnecessary download and upload from me now.

But still have to say this...

yes, it is for you!!!

FUCK YOU for not telling me at the first place that now only telling me that is what I SHOULD DO!!!!

dilemma...

second term started already...

back to same old place for second time and the feeling is back again after 3 weeks of freedom during holiday.

3 weeks in KL I kept listening to All American Rejects, Simple Plan, Linkin Park and all kinds of rock bands music. But now, I am listening smooth jazz, Carpenters...all the slow, peaceful and more like lonely music.

never feel good at all since the beginning of term 1 and now, the feeling is getting worse and worse.

should I?? or shouldn't I??

Both sides also have the reasons to say yes. But all I can do just sacrifise the other one in order to let the other one happen.

Standing at one corner is my Mom. The person who supported me and do everything she could to make me able to study in Singapore. 

At the other corner is myself. The person who whatever happen to me, it will lead me to what I am in the future.

Wait a minute, there is another one standing at another corner, my aunt's family. The peoples that allowed me to stay in their house.

Feel helpless and guilty but have to hang on. 

Guilty when they cancel their holiday plan because I am around.

Guilty when I stay at home whole day and do my things but didnt want to go out.

Guilty when they cancel plans to go out because I am not at home yet.

Guilty to stay awake and online until late night.

Guilty to do what I think is right but they might think is wrong.

Guilty when I speak out actually hurt their feelings.

Guilty to say anything that mom dont want to hear.

Guilty for not concentrate on what I am suppose to do but still thinking should I shift out.

Guilty for myself because cant get what I want.

Guilty for thinking too much.

Guilty if I do so, more money is needed.

And I am helpless...

Just let it be and never speak out. 

But are they really feel ok with my existant in their place?

They seems alright but I still feel something wrong. 

The very uncomfortable feelings in me that only I understand.

The very paiseh kind of feelings on whatever I do.

I have my own daily use products to lessen the paisehness. 

I never come home late to make things easier.

I never ask for the house keys to create unwanted issue.

I never plan any night outing...well, because I dont have any.

But I can be an ass and make all these happen for my own good. Unfortunately I didnt.

I just care more on other than care more on myself. Always think for others is not a good thing after all. I have to sacrifise myself more to make others feel better.

the biggest dilemma here is not actually on me.

well, it still based on my decision but the outcome is on other party but not fully on me.

If I shift out, my mom will worry more and more money might needed.

If I stay, the paisehness just getting stronger and stronger eventhough they say nothing but I feel it.

The way they look at me sometimes just make me uncomfortable.

Their life style is totally different from me and I have to slightly adjust myself to make things easier.

But I still dont sleep as early as them, I dont wake up as early as them unless I have morning class. I prefer more veggie on each meal but they can survive one meal with improper veggie like bean curd. They took nap in the afternoon but I just stay in front of my laptop whole day without resting. They go for morning exercise as early as 6am but I just did some workout in my room and have proper diet. They still expect me to eat more than them but actually I eat less than them. They think I am shy because I seldom eat anything in the kitchen besides meal time but actually I am not hungry at all. They think they are always right on what they did but didnt realise time has changed. 

The list just go on and on...

Now think again, is it really a good choice to study in Singapore at the first place???

Before this, I want to come over to Singapore mainly is because of someone but also for my own future. But now, its all because of my own future and I cant look back anymore but move forward and hopefully everything will be better when I graduate.

Actually I dont want to talk about it anymore and let it be, no matter how uncomfortable I feel, I just do what I think is right over here. Because I care for my mom more than their feelings. As long as I stay here, mom will feel more relief and dont have to worry too much.

It is just one of those days when I have nothing much to do and somehow sitting in front of my laptop and start thinking...

full bo??

My whole week of boredom somehow ended with a great makan time. Few days back auntie asked me have any plan on Saturday or not because my cousin sis wanted to treat us makan. Knowing that this is a rare chance for me to taste good food or rather be free food, of course I dont have plan on that day. Not because I want free food, but I really dont have plan on weekend. Only think of staying in my stuffy room and online whole day.

Never have a clue on what food are we eating or where is that place until I get in her car. Words I heard that related to our objective are 'buffet' and 'eat all you can' in their conversation. Basically what I did was get into the car, go to that place, eat, get in the car and back home.

After knowing that we will be having buffet for lunch, I knew that my eating a little bit for breakfast was a wise decision. I woke up quite late anyway.

Come to this place called Great World City near Ochard. Its a shopping center that quite left out due to the development in Ochard. Not crowded even on weekend is what we can see. Because it is called Great World City, there are countries' flags above the center court as the so called decoration.


First thing I did was search for Jalur Gemilang.

It is hiding at one corner at the far side. Think about it, it has been awhile since I last sang Negaraku. Cant remember when was my last time singing it.

Ok, back to the topic. Buffet!!!

I still dont know what kind of buffet that we are going to have, thinking most probably is Chinese Dim Sum buffet because both my auntie and uncle are 70+. Dont think they will like any other type of buffet besides something that they are familiar with.

I just follow my cousin sis lead without any expectation. But I was laughing in my heart when I saw this...

Is it Japanese word anyway?? But it seems like it because of the english words on top.

Kuishin - Bo Daining is the restaurant name with 3 outlets and other 2 are in Jurong Point and Suntec City. They are having promotion on weekdays for SGD 20.90 per pax and weekend 30.09 per pax during lunch time. Dinner buffet is another price. Not sure about the exact price because I am not paying.

They place this huge promotion board right outside the restaurant to catch customer's attention. More details?? Go have a look!!!

It is more like Shogun rather than Jogoya. Smaller place and less varieties. Especially after my first time visit to Jogoya about 2 weeks ago. With the memory still fresh for me, obviously I will do the comparison. (sui bo??)

the seats on the right side of the entrance...

the hot dishes counter...

the soup counter with individual mini stove on each table...

the sashimi, soba counter...

view from entrance...

the dessert area...

So cleverly placed right at the entrance beside main course and far away from sashimi. Learn about this buffet set up during F&B service. haha. Only stupid customers will go for dessert right at the beginning due to the superbly display.

Here are the food I have...

some Japanese salad, oyster and prawns...

Then cousin sis got 2 type of soups for us, it was her 4th visits there so she is quite familiar with things around.

seafood soup...

veggie soup...

the soup taste great!!!

my second plate with sashimi and sushi...

Just few pieces sushi because dont want to fill my stomach with rice. Its funny when my auntie saw all the sashimi I have on my plate, she actually asked me to dip in the soup to get them cooked. When I eat them raw, she actually 'aiyeerrr' me. Totally classic. That is why I never expect my cousin sis to bring us to other buffet than Chinese buffet.

My aunt and uncle just have cooked food while me and my cousin sis eat the way that what a Japanese buffet is all about.

Cha-soba.

soft shell crabs, fried fish fillet, tempura prawns and takoyaki.

second attempt on oysters, white clams and cheesy scallops.

cawamushi.

The buffet lunch starts at 11.30am and ends at 3.00pm. But we reached there 1.00pm and took me 1 hour to eat all the food above and the next 1 hour is for dessert. But I am quite full already, didnt try all their desserts.

chocolate dips, creame puff, mochi, dorayaki and cakes.

Luckily their cakes are not in big portion which allowed me to try 2 cakes instead of just 1 big piece.

greentea vanilla ice cream.

been told it is home made ice cream but obviously cant beat Jogoya's branded ice cream. haha!
Atleast over here they have bigger plates and the place are not big either. All the food are in one straight line. Not like Jogoya where you have to walk 1 big round to get 1 food.

Overall the food are ok but I cant say much because this could be my last time to eat expensive food in Singapore until God knows when. So, just shut up and eat.

After lunch, just follow them walk around blindly. It was another day I skipped dinner in this month since my holiday. haha.

Now I am thinking, do I still can eat all these good food if I shift out?? Dilemma wei~

Teddy says "hug me..."

another term started...

Its first day of class and didnt expect anything regarding to classmates or lecturer. Kind of lazy because stone at home until 1pm before leaving to college.

Consider as a great start because the sky is freaking blue for whole day. As blue as a small kid drawing who dont know how to mix up color and only use light blue for sky, white for clouds.

see?? so blue!!! (ignore the trees)

not blue enough?? how about this???


or this??

blue right??

But I was sweating that time, because the sky is too blue until the sun can shoot me directly with his sunshine.

Its new term and have to get the notes again. As I said on the previous entry, I will be taking 3 subjects this term. Long queue to get the notes but still manage to get it before Jin came.

I was shocked when I saw one of my notes is as thick as a dictionary.

see the difference??

Its like an Encyclopedia with 1 copy of slides and a report. =_+"
Its more like the entire text book rather than just notes. Name of the subject already damn long, mana tau the notes also thick until like that.

About my classmates, have some new faces for the first class. Total numbers include me and Jin are 8 of us. There are 1 Indian, 1 from Myanmar, 1 Philipines, 1 Thai, 1 Chinese, 2 Malaysians and 1 Ukrainian. (Interesting eh???) Dont have any hot chick besides the one from Ukraine, not super hot but just gain more attraction cause she is blonde, but quite tall and her english fly here and there. haha.

After class went for dinner before going home. I was told "No drinking sir" by one of the human traffic controller in the MRT station. I was drinking water from my water bottle at that moment. Oh I have forgotten, this is Singapore.

Kind of bored and I brought 3 silly beanies of mine back in those days that were free toys from Happy Meals to accompany me here in Singapore.

meet Oscar, Cookie Monster and Teddy.
They are from Galli Galli Sim Sim (how Indian called Sesame Street)
I know, I am lame...

end this entry with a cloud pheonix or whatever you want to call it.

back in XingJiaBo again...

Here I am, back to Singapore once again. Somehow this time when I was saying good bye to my mom, I feel like crying for the very first time. Even though I will come back again after 3 months but just feel sad and lonely again the moment I stepped into the bus. I think I really grew up this time...or maybe not?? Not sure about it but can feel the loneliness deep inside me.

3 months, very fast only, but I miss Malaysia already. No where feels better than home.
well, last thursday went to Mid Valley and Garden. Treat myself with the powerful ice cream from Italy.

Gelatissimo 2 flavors cup...
It was my second attempt since about 2 years ago when Garden newly opened. This time ordered a crazy flavor called Chili Chocolate and Pistachio.

The chilli chocolate is fun at the beginning, you can taste chocolate and after that the spiciness will appear in your throat. The more you eat, it will be spicier and spicier until you will get confuse on the chocolate taste. Weird and fun but never eat that again. Still prefer McD's vanilla cone.

As usual again, when I have money. Somehow somewhat I will buy something to my family to try out. Without fail, its donuts again!!! This time is from Big Apples.

I just like to spend on food!!! haha

I saw Krispy Kreme will be opening soon at Times Square, next time will be buying that when I go back.

On Sunday morning, went to have breakfast with mom and bro before get on to the bus at Imbi Pasar.

Pheonix claws noodles aka chicken feets noodle. thumbs up!!!

Proper toasted Hainan Bread with Kaya and Butter. Thumbs up again!!!

Hainan Coffee. Thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up!!!

haih...the best moment is to be able to enjoy some simple meals with your family. It is so special even just bread and coffee at some dirty wet market.

ok, new semester starts tomorrow and I got one of the worse schedule I have ever seen.

Monday - 9am to 12pm followed by 4pm to 7pm.
Most probably will online in college for that few hours break after lunch.

Tuesday - 4pm to 7pm ONLY!!!
WTF?? whole day 3 hours class and why must it be in the evening??

Wednesday - 9pm to 12pm followed by 12.45pm to 3.45pm.
Finally got less time to break, more like college life again. haha

Thursday - 4pm to 7pm AGAIN!!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~

Friday - 12.45pm to 3.45pm
No comment...

Will be taking 3 subjects this term.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship (still found it difficult to spell this word out)

Cross Cultural Communication for Effective Leadership and Management (panjang gila nama subjek ni)

Information in Hospitality and Tourism (the subject that occupied tuesday and thursday evening class...f***)

But think about it, its a good thing because I have reason to be back home slightly later...maybe 9.30pm?? haha

Still waiting for the chance to ask for the house key though, the chance is very slim because mom is not helping. Must do it by myself because I am 21 already!!! No one can lock me anymore, I need the golden key!!! T.T

I think for the next 3 months, when I am bored..I will take most of the stupid quiz I can find in Facebook. haha. Annoying for some one but I found it funny though.

Ok, thats it...

3 months before the next sunset...

take care everyone

ps: I love you mom. =)
