jilo nine jilo nine jilo nine

1 week ago I already start counting down this special day of a century. 09/09/09.

I ask around in MSN and Facebook, what will people do on this date at 09:09:09 am. Most of them said they are still sleeping and some said working, exam going on and others.

I woke up at 08:50am. Wash up and sit on my bed playing with my camera and waiting for that second to come. What so special about it?? Seriously I just too free to do that. Revision week, what do you expect?? and I have an interview in the afternoon.

after around 4 minutes of waiting, my digital watch showed the time (as seen above), very blur cause if I on flash then you cant see anything at all.

but my camera is 1 minute late. so, this is how I look like on that very special second of a century.

although after wash up, but damn blur cause not enough sleep and nervous about the interview.

many couples register themselves on this day. many couples celebrate it as if it is another Valentine's Day. many loner single people will emo at home as if it is Single Awareness Day.

but for me, I have something better to do. Yes, an Interview!!!

oh well, a very casual one in a fine dining Japanese Restaurant in Chijmes. What is Chijmes? google it and I will explain more if I get to do my internship there. =D

for couples, is good to celebrate with your love one on this special date of a century. But is better to also wish your family and friends stay healthy and happy forever . Realize many couples forget about their family and friends once they start dating, as if in the world there is only him or her. They do still remember but 90% of their life is for the other half, 5% him/herself, 2% family, 2% friends, 1% others.

I am experiencing similar situation as the one to be forgotten by many friends who finally found their love one. They will only approach me when their love one is busy or not around, but only for awhile with "Hi", "how are you?" and "long time didnt chat with you..." o_O"

wow, you also know long time already hor???

well, cant blame them. I think when I finally found someone, I may be the same as well.

But please remember, family and friends are also important. Persons that are willing to help you when you are facing the most difficult time will be your friends and family. Not him or her...especially something bad happen in the relationship.

so, dont forget the people around you as well. At the end of the day, you still need them from time to time.

got blocked by facebook...

as I found the video very meaningful.(read previous entry) So I post the URL around as comment to anyone on facebook who have status related to National Day.

After few times, I got this when I was trying to reply comment on my link...

something pop out and I couldnt post comment...

it says...
na beh...Facebook dont allowed me to share meaningful video around. =_="

now I cant post comments for hours or even days...o_O"

hair...

if you've been wondering what happen to my hair after the stuning entry regarding to my first ever dye hair experience in my life...

this might strike back the memory??

oh well, is already 1 month and few weeks which I once mentioned my hair will slowly turn from black blue to grey-ish ash blue...

1 fine afternoon when I was styling my hair before going for class, I was shocked when saw my hair colour instead of ash blue, it actually turn to brown and some part of it actually is gold in colour.

not really obvious but once under sun light, I will look like a lala wannabe with the tip of my front part hair and some of my side burn turn in gold while the whole head is brown.

something like that...

been told that my hair cant absord the colour...=_="

big failure in the history of my hair, but is a great experience and this will be the first and last time I dye my hair.

have to be professional. =)

anyway, will have a hair cut soon. so, bye bye lala hair. But good thing is people sees me as an adult now cause I dye my hair, the incident of went hiking at Broga and a hiker actually thought we were from secondary school. That will never happen again, but today a 30+ man from China approached me and asked "Uncle, na li shi Boogee gou wu suo?" (uncle, where is Bugis shopping mall?)

UNCLE??? =_=" thats too much man...

cheers everyone, take care!!!

ohya, by the way...what were you doing this afternoon at 12:34:56pm today with the date 07/08/09??

it is the once in a century time on that very second...123456789 is the numbers. I was walking to college with Jin after lunch. haha

other side of my name...

have you ever been so boring and just type your name at google and click search???

then wait and see what are the first few links that have your name on it and click those links and read what is it all about???

well, if I type Edward and search. Most probably the results are royalties in England or even that so called hot dude vampire from Twilight who apparently called Edward as well.

Why not be more specific and type Edward Low???

well, I didnt really do that. This was discovered by Kayren back to many many many months ago and if not mistaken when I was still in my final semester doing that super thick internship report. She just send this link to me and say, "check this...cool wei"

(just type Edward Low and click on the link from Wikipedia)

turns out some famous pirate have the same name as me!!! Not exactly, but somehow and someway he have it. Nothing to be proud of cause he is not a good guy, but I just found it cool.

my flag on my ships...(so not creative)

I can even be like Captain Jack Sparrow!!! You can call me Captain Edward Low...hahaha

just that, instead of having a hook on 1 of my arm, I would be prefer something else...

and be creative, I want something else on my shoulder as well...

maybe, something like this perhaps??

yes, a Wolverine's claws and a Spongebob!!!

the claws are much more cooler and Spongebob is live under the sea, so he is much better than a parrot right??

this could be my paradise... arghhh~~

well, other than being a pirate. I was told that ED means something else...I remembered I was told once long time ago, but kind of forgotten. So I google it and I will never allow anyone call me Ed anymore. Call me Edward or dont call my name at all...

want to know why?? here is the link for you - fuckinggoogleit.com

ohya, if search more specifically by typing my full name (if you know it), you can actually find my facebook account on the first link and my blogsite on the third one. My friend's facebook took the second place cause my name is there. =_=

have fun searching your name as well... =)

200!!!

100th telling 200th...

after plenty of food entries, personal entries, random entries, issues entries, fucked up entries and latest drawing entries. Finally its my 200th entry since I last started this blog back in 28th July 2007.

well, just an entry to mark my 200th entry. Its 2 centuries already!!! This blog not even 2 years old. LOL.

Its not really a big deal either.

Just a slight update on my life. I found out that I exceeded the usage again by 200MB this time, manage to notice before I even use it. So stop immediately and have to wait for 3 days and I will be back to full online mode again. Not including downloads ofcourse....

recently been sleeping quite late, earliest is 2am..latest is 4am. My timing already set on those time which make me kind of difficult to fall asleep when I cant online for these few days and got nothing much to do. I need to roll on the bed for at least 30 minutes before I fall asleep.

dark eye circle is one issue for me now and ofcourse those who sleep late everyday. You know who you are. hehe. I think its a common issue for youngsters like us now a day. 24 hours is not enough for us, 8 hours of sleep is not enough as well...aikz...

maybe a super good dark circle removal is what we all need...

I laugh until tears came out every time I saw this pic....

ohya, my microsoft words died again. Stupid product code not working. Now have to use notepad to do my assignments. Have to reinstall when I get back to KL.

and yes, 2 assignments down, 1 more for this week and 2 more for next week. Progressing quite well...but with the latest problem. It slightly demotivate me but I think I can manage this stress.

Because the real motivation is pushing me forward. Cant wait to go back KL!!!

I'll ride a horse if I have to...

or swim to Johor like what Mas Selamat did... =_="
neh, I have the money for bus ticket...just wait for the time to reach only.

okay, there goes my random 200th entry.

note for you : thanks for everything, patient is the word. =)

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.

I think thats enough of my lame examples....

wow....this is so random =_=

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.

a surprising Seremban trip...

*This is an outdated entry*

For the past 3 months of my time in Singapore, most of the time I stone with Jin. A dude who I knew for around 3 years, we went to training at Penang and shared a room for 5 months. We were in the same group for the last few semesters for every assignment. My social life is kind of imbalance because I seldom talk to opposite sex during my time in Singapore due to many reasons.

So, after 3 months of the gayness I felt. I must do something to balance up myself on the interacting with females section. So, way before I head back to KL already got few girls wanted to date stone with me. They plan to spend a weekend at Seremban, hometown of the trip organiser.

Only 4 persons who will be going for this trip, 3 girls and 1 dude which is me. Knew them from Ochacha, they are Snow, Li Wah and the organiser Veaky. You guys must be thinking, wow!! Edward is so lucky!!! (read on before make the conclusion)

I have a bad feeling about this trip when the organiser trying to give us surprise throughout the trip by not telling us any of her plan. (well, at least I am the most clueless among them) We met up at Tesco Extra Taman Midah at 11.15pm. Why so late?? Reason is to avoid traffic jam.

We got into Veaky's car cluelessly and in my mind was since I am having holiday. Whatever it is, I should be enjoying it since it is out of town. My first question to organiser was "is there any food in Seremban besides Siu Pao" She replied "got many...let me think"

so, we reach Seremban about 1am something if not mistaken. We came to this semi-d house cluelessly, few ladies came out from the house. (as far as I am concerned, she told me her family is not around) Then out of a sudden, a lady came in and sat behind of the car with Liwah and Snow. 3 of us stunned for awhile and became more cluelessly. Then departed from the house and head to mamak for supper. (only knew it until we saw the mamak)

My clueless and confusing mood changed to emo mode after I saw the TV showing Fulham 1-0 Manchester United with 9 minutes to go. We sat down and ordered some food and drinks while my attention is all on that tv screen. My emo mode change to depression when Fulham scored second goal and eventually my heart sink to the bottom of the world when Rooney got sent off. (fuck!) Ohya, that lady who came into the car out of a sudden is Veaky's auntie. (she didnt introduce to us until Snow ask her to do so) =_="

We still dont know where will we be staying for the night until we head back to the same place. So we bring our things down and went into the big house. 3 of us sit in the living room cluelessly again while Veaky is entertaining with her cousins and sisters. =_="
Then Snow again ask her to introduce, cause the situation during that time is kind of weird and we dont know who the heck are they.

After that we went up to second floor and place our bags in her room. Then she stunned me again by asking me "where do you want to sleep?" o_O" How am I suppose to know where to sleep???

Ok, end up we all shared the room. Nothing nasty happen at all so dont think too far. (I was moodless to think about anything but to get some rest due to the bad start I faced on this trip)

The ceiling fan is spinning at no. 5 like a helicopter and all I got is a pillow, a mattress on the floor with my own towel which is only enough to cover my legs. Oh, we've been told to wake up at 6am for breakfast.

whole night I was rolling around, adjusting my tiny little 'blanket' then 5.30am I cant take it anymore and its freaking cold. I was awake but try my best to fall asleep again. At this moment, I heard rain drops and yes...started raining 30minutes before the time I should wake up. I was freezing cold and really counldn't sleep. Someone woke up and threw me a blanket, but it was too late and I was fully awake by that time.

So we all woke up at 6am when our alarms rang. Guess what?? we stone in the room until 8 something before leaving the house for breakfast. =_=" reason, her aunt's family cant wake up...

morning breeze...

after everything settle, then I only I know the next thing after breakfast is hot srping. Requested to bring clothes for changing afterward but I didnt bring extra clothes for that. So I leave the house empty handed. With the mood going down deeper...

breakfast...kopi kaw and konlo lou shu fun (dried mouse tail noodle)
when my noodle been serve in front of me...only I realise Seremban's mouse have long tail and the tip is not sharp. Obviously the tauke made a mistake but he insist that is lou shu fun. Mood going down deeper again.

after breakfast, head to hot spring. In my mind, it is a natural hot spring whereby I can be close to nature. Even I cant have fun with them, I can still enjoy it with my camera. Mana tau....

wet world resort with spicy hot water???

my mood go to the other end of the world already...I was kind of an ass during that time cause my mood was showed on my face with organiser's family around, but I really cant hide it. Worse still, I have to pay freaking 10 bucks to go in. At that point, I was numb already and willingly pay that 10 bucks without hesitating.

orangey arm band for the day...woo-hoo~ =_="

my entertainment???

blue sky!!!

the wet world...

Basically, many years ago it was a natural hot spring which close to nature until some smart asses make it into business purposes...so this is what we got. At one tiny corner, there is hot spring, other than that it is just a normal water park.

the spicy hot water. (do you smells something is cooking??)

its extremely hot with 130C!!!

rules to follow before you cook yourself...

and the spicy water contents following ingredients...

didnt know there are so many ingredients needed to make a spicy dish...XD

because of no extra clothes for me to get change, my rm10 was paid for few minutes of boiling my legs...
gloop~ gloop~ gloop...

I was kind of totally turn off when its close to noon whereby more and more people coming in. Worse still and as usual...they dive in with full attire.

"wah...syok gila~ ha-ha-ha"

I stone for many hours until I dont know how long is it...

one thing is quite funny on the dress code they have.

my question is, is the light blue 'seluar renang' meant for male or female??? XD (just being lame)

see, how 'happy' am I after stoning for several hours...haha. (above with Li Wah and bottom with Snow)

after that, we went for lunch at around 3pm if not mistaken.

long waited hokkien mee and fruit rojak...but both sucks big time. FAILED!!!
But these had cheer me up a bit cause after all, my first aim for holiday is food!!!

then we head back home to get some rest and end up all of us took a long nap until 6pm.

evening breeze...

we stone for some times while Li Wah cut Veaky's dad's hair and others just walk around. At about 7pm..we leave the place to see animals.

on our way to see animals...

because its quite late and the sky turning darker and darker...we cant see them clearly. But there are camels, horses, ostritches, deers and etc etc...

one of the horses...

after that, Veaky's dad brought us to have dinner.

the road side stall...
we ordered this...

'Tau Pok Teh' instead of Bak Kut Teh...
the numbers of fried bean curd is so scary that you can hardly find a piece of pork in that clay pot...
only can find them when you dig deeper...

pork and pig intestines...yummy!!! (by far the best meal we had in Seremban)

then again we head back to the house and stone until 11pm until we headed out again to hunt for supper. As Snow requested...IKAN BAKAR~

delicious grilled fish...

Veaky, me and Snow with the grilled fish...
finally I feel better, thanks to food. Although I know Seremban have famous local food but our organiser just cant bring us there. Sad case...

At this point while enjoying grilled fish, my mood drop down again as Liverpool scored 2 goals against Aston Villa early of the game. mcbccbknsdns!!! After that, got no mood again and head home to get some rest.

Next day, woke up at 7am after double confirm with Veaky about what time to leave the place and head back to KL. Because we dont want to have the same experience like the day before.

Monday morning, woke up and all I heard is Li Wah and Snow saying "dan wong, dan wong" (egg yolk) I was kind of blur until I look out the window and saw this shiny thingy...Immediately I grab my camera and ran out to the balcony...

ahhh....best thing after food to cheer me up is beautiful sky.

after got ourself ready, we leave the place at 9am to get some breakfast and ofcourse, to buy the most important thing in Seremeban. The only think I can think off when I hear the name Seremban. The only thing we will mention it with the name Seremban in front of it....

SIEW PAO!!!!

Veaky brought us to this shop called Siew Pao Asia. She said it is the best in Seremban and we believe her. She told us normally they sell Rm 1.10 for one Siew Pao but if buy a big numbers might get cheaper price.

the more than 3 decades shop with over 3 generations history Siew Pao shop...

we bought 6 boxes, 2 boxes each with 10 Siew Pao per box and 10 egg tarts each as well.

egg tarts...

guess how much we paid?? Exactly Rm1.10 per Siew Pao and Egg Tart. (count yourself for the total amount we paid) No discount even we bought 60 Siew Paos and 30 egg tarts. what a retart... We got conned again. By the way, we got 4 free curry puff for testing from the tauke soh.(lady boss)

After that, instead of getting some Serembanians breakfast. We insist of having a proper Chinese breakfast because our organiser will end up surprising us again if we ask her to decide. We stop by at one kopitiam and its a heaven for me!!!

the real kopitiam...

kopi kaw, yin yang toast and half boil egg for breakfast. Awesome!!!

Li Wah and Snow is having some Seremban famous noodle and after they ordered. Veaky told us " why eat here, should have told me earlier. I ask my grandma cook. It taste many times better than this"

we all again stunned and replied " we are from KL and we are clueless about what to eat in Seremban, so dont expect us to tell you bring us to eat this particular food" unless we heard about it, unfortunately we never!

Conclusion, our organiser really failed this time. Hopefully she will learn from this experience and eventually become a proper Seremban tour guide. haha.

after that we head back to KL~

just some random pphotos...

empty egg shells...

ah Snow...our supervisor aka big sis

Li Wah, the future hair stylist....

Veaky, the inexperience tour guide...

and me...the stoner for whole trip~

ya, see you again Seremban. I know there are still plenty things inside you that I need to explore.

auntie will bring you all go makan-makan. haha

So now, you tell me. Is Edward very lucky on this trip?? Well, even though at few points I really thought of going back to KL but I didnt do it. I just prefer a more well planned trip instead of a trip that full of surprises...Holiday continues~

ps: sorry for squeezing 2 days 2 nights trip in 1 entry. No choice cause there are more entires coming up for my holiday
