Town Steambot Restaurant

Two of my housemates are graduating this year, so we decided to have a feast at Town Steambot Restaurant, a buffet style steambot+bbq restaurant.


The place is crowded, even on a Monday night.

This is the Lok-Lok station.


A whole lot of home-made sauces to choose from.

The usual cold storage stuff, balls, balls and more balls.


This is the good part, seafood and red meats.

And this, is the best part!
Ready-to-eat Dim Sums!





All these are for you to eat-till-u-puke at only RM17.90 per person!

Another day in Penang >.<

Its wednesday 29 April 2009.. and I am still in Penang!!! Aaargh!!
I should be home by now, and yet with compliments from AirAsia, I'm still here!
My case?
OK, I booked my flight on the 3rd of March, and my flight at then was scheduled to depart from Penang at 4:05pm and arrive in KL at 4:55pm.
And this Monday, I double checked my flight again online, and found out that my flight has been rescheduled, and I was not notified in any way. So my flight for today was rescheduled to departing Pen at 4:40pm and arriving at 5:30pm.
Oh, I forgot to mention that my flight departing from KL to Sibu was 6:15-8:10pm. The delay of my Pen flight leaves me less than 40 minutes to check in. But lucky I checked in already online.
But then, when I was at the waiting hall today waiting for the Pen flight, guess wad, another DELAY!! ETD 5:15pm ETA 6:00pm! How the hell will I be able to catch my KL-Sibu flight?
So I decided to confronted the AirAsia ground staff about my situation.
In the end, I ended having both my flights being moved to tommorrow's flight... and luckily, they didn't charge me anything for the changes.

The moral of the story is, never arrange your connecting flights so close together.
-The End-

Not Fast, But damn Furious!!

USM sucks!! I had a terrible day today, thanks to the USM staff, again!
Let me tell you all the dark side of USM, the so-called APEX university (for those who dono wad that stands for, check the web, cos i'm not very sure myself either)
First of all, the staff in my faculty are so f*cking rude. Each time I went to the counter for enquiries or requesting for some forms or documents, the staffs always respond in a very rude manner.
i.e : me :"Erm, good morning, I would like to ask if the observation form is available now?"
staff :" No."
me :"Erm, then, when can I get it?"
staff : "Dono."

Once, I needed to get some documents again from the office, guess wad, 9:30 a.m. and no one's working, not a single soul is in the office, and there was a note at the counter saying :
[Staffs away to attend the funeral of a family member of our staff]
Hello?? Not the funeral of the school chancellor, not the funeral of the dean, not the funeral of a staff.. it the funeral OF a family member OF a staff??
What, so his/her death means public holiday??

What made me furious today is a staff, who happens to be a lecturer as well, he indirectly said something that made me feel intimidated!
me :"Excuse me, I'm going to conduct my observation in Sarawak this sem break, I understand that for those going to Sarawak will need to obtain a letter issued by the JPN. My friends have all gotten the letter but I haven't, so can I have the letter now?"
staff :"You're name is in the 2nd batch of the name list we send to JPN, JPN not yet send back the letters."
me : "But I'm going home next week, and howcome my friends already got the letter but I haven't?"
staff :"how i know?"
me :"Then when will I get the letter?"
staff :"Dono."

And just when I decided to give up asking because he was already showing signs of impatient, so I turned and started to leave, but then, I heard him said something like "Haiya, budak Sarawak, kuat kacau!"

I was so furious!! He had no respect for us Sarawakians at all!

[Sir, FIY, you staffs are the ones having problem doing your job! The school wanted us to do our observation, and 1 more week before the sem break, the documents are still not ready for us??
And I can sense from his tone that, he actually look down on Sarawakian?? What? You think we still live on trees? We have more bungalows than your stinking apartments ok??
And if you still havent made it clear, we, the students, are the ones paying your salary!!]

Bottom line is, these USM staffs should really do something about their working attitude!

And that's my version of not Fast, but damn Furious - USM staffs slow efficiency, and me, very Furious!

One more week to go...

For weeks, the weather here was hell hot! I showered like at least 5 times a day.
Last night, it finally rained, heavily. It rained and rained until this morning.. For the 1st time in weeks, i finally had a good night sleep and woke at 11am just now.
I woke up at 5:50am yesterday morning to do my revision for my final exam. The 1st time in my 3 years uni life I study so hard fo a paper. For wad? Because I hand in a blank answer sheet for a paper i had last week, n I was really really down. So i decided to put some effort in my studies.
And hey, you really do get what you give, for the 1st time, I'm confident enough to say that I think I did well on yesterday's paper. I even gave answers to my coursemates! Before, I'm the one asking for answers and cheating, but it's different this time, and feels kinda great!
Well, the weather, the paper really upped my mood today, and the thought that I'm going home next week makes me hype! Woohoo!!
(i've already started packing like 2 weeks ago)
I missed my family and my baby dear hell lot! 1 more week, and its the end of my 3rd year. Can't hardly wait to go home!!!
To my dear friends, sorry I cant join y'all for after-exam gatherings... Sowie~~
