Town of History! I'm Back!

13th August! The day has come! I've been looking forward to this day where we're going to Malacca! Again! I know! Well this is to get additional information from the other day's Trip. It started off from meeting in college. Until around 11+, we went to Pamie's house to fetch her(She just woke up). After so, the journey begins. Along the highway, we stopped by a petrol station with KFC and Dunkin Donuts. We lots bought 2 donuts each and dropped by KFC drive thru just to get their Zinger Burger and my Cheezy Wedges. Justin forbids me to eat while I drive but with Sophia's support, I managed to get my hands on the Cheeeeeeezy Wedges! ^^ We didn't stop for the whole journey while others made a few stops. That is why we arrived first?

Arrived the toll in first place. While waiting for Fat Joe, we sort of met some Taylorians around. Maybe they are sort of coming back to Malacca just like us? Rich hags with BMW all the way down from KL but one thing dropped their status where there is about 7 people in the car. All stuffed in. Back to our story, Fat Joe arrives and off we go to Portuguese village while others are hungry. We went to Mini Malaysia along the way just for our Another assignment.

Well boys and girls, I know I looked like a good boy with the good boy face. Anyways, This is Rumah Melayu Perak. This is the architecture of Perak Malay Houses. Which is what we're doing for our Malaysian Studies Assignment.

Well the house is not exactly well maintained and it actually filled with dust around. But what the heck? We just need pictures to support our assignments. I bet dust couldn't be traced in our photos I guess? We actually paid the entrance fee for RM10 just to snap a few photos for a few minutes and we're off to Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.(It is not worth to go Mini Malaysia)

There! Manage to capture the car we're following! Neh, It's Fat Joe's Car. Through this photo, you can already judge my driving skill! Cool eh? Neh, It's actually red light in front.

In Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, All camera's out snapping at each angle while Joe had her hand phone recording the tour guide, Josephine. A nice lady but not so nice on the phone. ^^ Ms. Shereen asked us to go to this temple and she is so anxious to get us the contact number of the temple's tour guide. By the way, These Sophia's photography masterpiece and are accredited to Sophia.

Well, we see the light! It's time for us to move on. Ms. Josephine shown us places around Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. Also she taught us a few Chinese Traditions, Architecture, Culture, Myths and Stories. There are a few Traditions where my family don't really practise it anymore and even some I've never heard of. ^^ Shy! What a Chinese am I?

I come to realise there are word carvings on it! At first I thought it is for aesthetic purposes but look closer. You can actually see the word! It is carved '平安, Ping An' It meant peace.

This one here is carved ‘雨顺, Yv(u) Xun(Sun)’ It meant Smooth flow.

The last one is carved '风调，Feng (Fong) Tiao' meant slow and steady.

With both combined together'风调雨顺, Feng Tiao Yu Sun' ends up a Chinese 'Simpulan Bahasa'. It meant everything you do will be slow but steady and smoothly goes.

This Mythical creature is called Au Yu. I have never heard of it and I think nor do you too! It is the head of the dragon and body of a fish. It is placed there for Feng Sui purposes since the old times. The water glides down the roof when it rains and comes out from the mouth of the Au Yu. Makes the effect like the Au Yu is actually 'vomiting water' for the house. Feng Sui beliefs that the water represents gold. Water flows in and not out.

Above and below this is the Imperial Guardian Lions also known as Foo Dogs and Fu Lions. The below represents the Male and the above represents the female. Referring to Yin and Yang, Yin as the female and Yang as the male. Notice that the male's mouth open and the female's mouth close? It meant the male do the talking and female just keep quiet. Also meant that Male do the business talking while holding the ball of coins(Business). Female with a child on her arms(Family). But according the Japanese. Well I think it first started with Japanese anyways. The Male is holding the globe while the palm is on the globe meant feeling the pulse of earth. Also, The male is inhaling meant Life while female exhale meaning death. Which also back to square one. Yin and Yang.

After the Cheng Hoon Teng visit, We went to Jonker Street. Passed by the alley. I find that it is very cooling but I have no idea what is there inside.

On our way to the chicken rice shop where we have not satisfy from the last trip. Here we are! Back to the same place. *Daring enough to stand in the middle of the street*

After the chicken rice thing, We went to Stadhuys. First we go to the Tourist Centre for Infos around Malacca. There we are trying to be shorter than Pamie.

Stadhuys Buildings

Caught Cam-Gigolo-ing

Second Capture

Well this is the actual picture

Well, It was KarWeng's Idea. We actually capture it although he ask us to point the camera ONLY.

Aiks phone rings but the picture isn't that bad.

Group photo! Come On! Fast fast!

One Two Shoot! Looks 'Fntasy'. With the landscape and our movements. Freestyle is always a mess but not for some.

I know this photo is weird! I agree with you! Don't really understand the meaning behind it but I'm very sure that there are artistic reasons which I have no idea what is it.

See! Lil' Boy is up to no good again! Wish he would fall huh? You know what? He actually....did not fall in. Surprising huh?

Come'on Lets Jump! Jump! Jump! *Humming a song*

No worries. Lots camera in standby! So Anyone? Want one?

Another prank from Mr. Lil' Boy Jon

Justin's Wild! I know!

Monkey see, Monkey do

She and her Malacca Advertisements... No comment. Notice a model behind?

After Stadhuys, Fat Joe kept rushing us to meet her up as we need to get to Portuegese village ASAP. Along the way, the boyfriend took the wrong way and ended up lost. We stopped our cars and wait for some classmates of ours to meet us up. For that time being, we went into the architecture muzuem (we didn't plan to go there). After all the snapshots, I dragged others to the playground!

Yep, We monkeys eventually ended up on the monkey bars.

Our territory! No intruders!

Look! Pam finally have her wish come true! Her long body! ^^

Wild People! I understands

After the playground, we went to the portuegese village to enjoy our delicious dinner.

My addiction towards jumping!

An Introduction to Pamelyn!

"Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!

Those Cats were Fast as Lightning!"

Fat Joe's Jumping too?

The End? Well Not really. Our Mom! Fat Joe ordered us to sit down and eat. We had Seafood. Unfortunately we did not order the crab. Ish! Should have! It's really cheap! Although I have the food pictures but I don't think it looks nice anyways. So after the portuegese dinner we had at the beachside, we left malacca. Along the way back was kind of scary as the 'Plus' Dolls were moving in the middle of the road. Waving with the Malaysia flag. It's a Little haunting for the first day of Hungry Ghost Month. Arrived KL in an hour and half then dropped them off at TCPJ then head home.

The End

-Behind The Scenes-

Jumping at the beach side does attract many attentions.

There's the attentions! Not really! They are just hunting for shells. ^^

Another Friday

Assignment was given last Friday. A total of 7 pieces of drawings where we need to draw it. There is Floor Plans, Roof Plan, Front Elevation, Back Elevation, Both Sides Elevations and Section. Gosh What I did was a total last minute. Yesterday, the day before the due date I started to draw. Well there is reason behind it, another assignment's draft due date was the day before. So I actually rush for 'perfect' and forgotten about this. We (the usual people) went to the studio after our English classes. Sat there for the rest of the day. Untill 5p.m, I already done 3 drawings and left 4 drawings. We just got to know that the guard will come and close the studio at 6p.m. So what we did was, Daniel, Pamelyn and me went downstairs to the program office to beg for 'merciness' to let us use the studio untill 8/9 p.m. But unfortunately they couldn't get the permission for us. They advice us that if any assignment requires us to use the studio, we should register for over night the day before the due date. So there is a back up just incase that we could not finish it in time.


We went home, stuck in the traffic, had dinner. By 10p.m after all the dili-deli, I start my drawings. Turn on the tv played the dvd '200 pounds beauty', a korean show. It actually distracted me and continued my work after the show. 4a.m, I quickly clean up my things although I still have not finish the drawings. Left 1 drawing and the reason I'm packing is because time for mom to wake up. I don't want to listen to the 'nag'-ing attack early in the morning. Woke up at 8a.m rush to college to continue and Voila! Done!


Next, PJ Hilton Project. Today I was told to make the windmill. First was the fan of the windmill.Fat Joe's cutting the sticks and me glue-ing the thing in other words, Building it! ^^ My clock tower were pass to Diane to do it. Gosh they were like 'Your box looks nice but my wall doesn't' Please! It's just a base! Nothing! I was trying to be low by saying 'it's ugly!' but the seniors added 'It's not! wait till you see the inside!' and Diane was like 'Oooo what's inside?' and there goes another lecture on model building. I continued with the windmill untill the balsar wood went out of stock.

So it's time to go! But then, the seniors called us back. Their reason is, 'Your Homework! To finish the windmill! Bring home!'

Left the place back to home! Arrived home! Blog then Sleep!

Pac! Performing Arts Centre!

I don't have to wake up so early! I know! But for the sake of assignment. Yay! Been looking forward for this! A second visit to KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) in Sentul West. Scared of being awfully late, quickly rush to the Big M as always. Along the way we wait for Dear Brother Justin at Titiwangsa Monorail station. A funny thing! I called him and ask where is he, he said he's at Bukit Bintang. He say he see shops and asking permission to shop. "Justin! You just sit down and pretend you don't see anything ya?" So cute and adorable! I know! haha All of us ended up semi formal and me with a tie. Justin said 'finally wear a tie huh?' When we arrive, we went up to the office. Greeted by Ms. Yue May. She's nice! She helped us with alot of things although she herself has something to work it out but she put some effort on helping us. Thanks! Mr.Ian did help us alot too last time. He brought us for a tour! Anyways, we wander around with a few guards keeping an eye on us. The reason? No photo taking around the compound and it is very strict. With permission, we're only allowed to take pictures in the compound. It is kinda scary when you see them around you communicating each other using walkie talkie. Weird~~ O_O

The Entrance Path

Saje Letak! ^^

1...2...3 Jump!

After hanging around, It's time to go back to Taylors for Fine Dining from Carmen's Class. Been Looking forward! By 12noon, we're back to Taylors. As promised, I attended Carmen's Fine Dining Servings. This are the few pics as the lecturer is around. I wouldn't want to get caught. ^^ It start with some Cabonara then came along some French/Italian/Spain Chicken (Bloody one! Only mine) then Apple Tart. There goes! While she's serving the chicken, I kept distracting her by repeating "Drop the chicken! You can't grab hold the chicken!" or something like "You didn't say Enjoy Your Meal!" Pam was tagging along! She asked for 'More Sauce! More Sauce!' or 'More cheese powder!' With all the fuss! It was fun for her too! Her friends came for Lunch!

Carmen Ready to Serve!

Everybody! This is Pam! Din't expect her to kacau Carmen as well? Shocking...

Eh! My bread is already done by then!
