Malacca Again!

So, I persuaded my dad to go to Malacca a lot of times already but he was busy on most of the weekends nowadays. Well, since 27th of August is a holiday for my dad, I asked him to take a drive down to Malacca for me to get a taste of the food there for the last time till July 2011. I’ll definitely go back there right away when I’m back here in Malaysia.

We went for lunch at a street located right behind Jonker Street. We had Wan Tan Mee and Prawn Noodles. It was tasty! I like it! *laugh*

This was the first time my baby was driven in Malacca. Will miss you a lot soon!

My first cendol in Malacca. Tasty!

The Wan Tan Mee we had was a little bit unique where it’s spicy and there are not black soy sauce. Tasty too!

A supposed to be Prawn Noodles but it ended up to be something else which I didn’t really enjoyed it. RM 3 each for the meal and RM2.50 for the cendol. After that, I asked my dad to bring me to Seafarer Restaurant Malacca as I could go down to the beach there. It’s called Pantai Klebang. Dishearteningly, a part of the beach, reclamation land is happening widely but luckily, it didn’t block anything at the Seafarer Restaurant. Here are some pictures taken there.

 

After that, we headed back to the Holiday Inn Hotel area.

This project is a failure. It has also made Holiday Inn’s view bad!

Mahkota Hotel. Stayed there when I first went to Malacca. BAD experience there!

You got to take a buggy to get to the end of the Karaoke area. It’s freaking far!

Was supposed to put a night here but I told my dad that Malacca is very near to our place. So, saved the cash for hotel and spent them on food!

Eyes on Malaysia!

I get to remember what happened here at the McD. When Samuel, Aron and I was super thirsty when we were in Malacca, we shared a cup of soft drink here! I really missed those moments! I did went back to the hostel that we stayed in for 3 days 2 nights! After that, we drove over to Pulau Melaka and it was another failure project. The whole island was deserted. Have a look.

This was the only thing that we can see people going for at Pulau Melaka.

This would be our normal area to park our car and then we walk around Malacca town!

Then, we headed for some food!

This is a must to go when you are in Malacca! Try everything there! Everything is tasty there. Location? Jonker Street!

This would be the interior of the shop.

My durian cendol! A must to have when I’m here in Malacca.

Baba Nyonya laksa! Mouth watering! OMG….Gonna miss this so much!

  

As I was walking to the fried oyster stall, I saw this place where Samuel, Aron and I had Malacca Bak Kut Teh here when it was raining heavily! That was the most memorable trip to Malacca ever!

Fried oyster which cost RM 6.

I did found out something new at Jonker Street which is this Tornado Potato! Never give it a try because I was super full at that moment. Gained 2kg after this trip. Sad.

Dad bought some Nyonya kuih for me. After that I drove them back home. Love Malaysia’s food always! Will try to come back every year for the next 6 years!

Till then!

Pre-Departure Briefing and FOOD

On Sunday, 22nd of August 2010, I went to Federal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur to attend the pre-departure briefing. Well, it started of well but it was like a little hanging at some parts of the whole event. Planning isn’t that perfect yet but overall, it’s okay. So, speech by some of the people including a third year student from RSMU. Yes, I’m leaving to Russia for my studies and RSMU will be my University for the next 6 years. Finally it’s out on my blog. (: The event started at about 3.15pm. Met all of my friends who are going there with me such as, Jay a.k.a.Gay, Soon Fei, Martin who will be my roommate, Yy Ling, Curry and so on. Lots of them were there on that day.

Moving on, the third year student said something about the syllabus medium there and that was the moment where most of the parents mouth were widely opened. That was the moment I’ve enjoyed too! Well, I would like to say that, nothing will be perfect. Going to other countries to pursue our studies, we will still need to learn something in their own language and isn’t this fun at the same time challenging? We as a student will get to learn the language fast and YES I agree with what the third year student from RSMU said which sounds like this. ‘Our lecturers are old and do not expect them to learn English in a sudden’. That is definitely and absolutely true! Why do I say that? First of all, we are the younger generations and I do believe that we can handle Russian Language easier compared to all our soon-to-be knowledgeable lecturers to learn English since most of us are going for Medical Studies which wouldn’t be that simple to get through it. As we have the will to do it, nothing can stop us. That is the only thing I could say right now. Although everything is stated clearly that my batch syllabus will all be taught in English, I still do think that some subjects MIGHT be taught in Russian. Most importantly, I’m keen to learn about it and I’m not afraid of it because many of my seniors went through it without complaining.

Hostels there are a little bit worst compared to my TARC hostel but life still have to go on. We should be happy that we could be under a shelter compared to those unfortunate people out there who don’t even have a place to live at. Think positively. My parents were aware about all of this because I did have have a few Q&A sessions with all my seniors there and I told my parents every single thing that I knew about RSMU. We as a student, who is going there to further our studies should try to step out into the real world and try to get every single information we need ourselves since we knew that we are going there ALONE without your parents. Being there, you wouldn’t be spoon fed anymore.Why do I say so? This is simply because Pre-U life is roughly the same with the University life and I bet that University life will be even more challenging compared to the life I had through the one and a half year in TARC.

Picture of all the students who are going to Russia to further their studies. I have something to talk about this picture itself but I wouldn’t let it out here. It’s about my consultant. ^^

The best thing about this pre-departure briefing was we did not get a firm date on when we are departing to Moscow. Sad case. Just forget about it and let’s enjoy our life back here in Malaysia for another few more weeks. Right after the briefing, my parents and I went to hunt for some food. We went to a street right behind Jalan Alor for food again! What we had? Have a look!

Having a meal back in an alley is the best thing to do! The weirdest thing was I went there with my formal attire and I was soaking wet because there wasn’t a single breeze there. As some of my friends knew about it, my forehead suffers from Hyperhidrosis. Will not explain it here so just google up on it.

It was a bomb! Love the taste! Yummy!

 

Beef Wan Tan Mee, I guess….^^ Nice! It came with the beef soup too.

This was the beef soup.

Finally I had pork intestine porridge in KL! In the middle of the town! This was great but I still prefer the one served in Penang. Going to have this in Penang very soon! So keen to get back there this time.

Beef Noodles! This is good too but can’t break the bonding I had with the one served in my club. Bukit Rahman Putra Club. Go to that club if you want to have Beef Noodles. FYI, it’s only served during the weekends! You will not regret driving all the way to the club to have this Beef Noodles!

Dad did ordered drumstick! Nice! Soft and tender! So, where to get it? Start your car engines now and drive to Bukit Bintang. Hit the street behind Jalan Alor. You will be able to find it there.

P.S. Good luck to all the those who are pursuing their studies in MMA or RSMU. Don’t worry much as you will be fine there. Not forgetting, good luck to all the future doctors out there! Take care. In addition, SORRY if I said anything wrong here.

Till then!

Durian Buffet, SS2!

Well, I went to Old Klang Road to pass my highest certificate to my consultant yesterday in the afternoon and THANKS to Yvonne who showed me a super short way to get there. I saved a lot of fuel for the last 2 weeks of the language class. Owe her one meal. Wait, one meal isn’t enough for her I guess since I see her standing by the foods during our pre-departure briefing on Sunday. SCARY is the word. ^^

I will blog about the pre-departure briefing soon but let’s don’t talk about the word DEPARTURE yet. FOOD is a must to talk about right now. I will cross SS2 every single day on the way to class and back from my class. Temptations of having Durians will be there ever single time I cross that place. YESTERDAY, I went there with my mum to have DURIAN BUFFET. Yes, Durian Buffet. This is my first time having Durian Buffet and I do think that it’s a little crazy to have durians in such a huge amount. Want to have a look at the stall? Here it is.

Durians? Nice? Yeah, it’s nice. The provide you only Kampung Durians for the buffet session and FYI buffets are only for from Mondays to Fridays. Yummy is the word to describe this Durian Buffet.

I will not be able to get this after September till I’m back on July 2011. So going to miss Malaysia a lot! The word a lot here I do mean it like x100000000…. times of a lot!

While enjoying my Durians. My mum and I had 4 of it and we can’t take it anymore. Now, it’s the time to drink more water so that I could have all the Penang food soon. Going there by early of September and going to Malacca this week. My aim is to have a good taste of all the foods there before leaving my foot off Malaysia’s soil.

For some of you out there, you would say….cheh, so little. Some of you will be like, OMG! xD

After that, we went to 1 Utama to hunt for some of my necessities. I’m like 70% done packing right now. There is this happy feeling and sad feeling too. Sigh.

What we had in 1 Utama? Here it is.

 

Takoyaki! Yummy!

Had this at Shilin. Ordered the set which came with the fish.

Shilin! Yum yum! Fried sweet potato! So that is what we had for dinner.

Till then!

Surely A Must To Miss Memories.

Today, I woke up about 8am and as usual I’ll have a cup of tea for my breakfast. YES, that is all I’ll have for breakfast. Without revising back for my exam, I just get myself ready and drove to Oasis College which is located about 30 minutes drive from my house after Yvonne showed me an alternative route. When I reached Oasis College, my heart beats like it’s going to burst through my sternum. I got no idea whether I’m prepared for the paper or not but I did my best for the particular exam. It’s the last exam for me to sit for in Malaysia for 2010 and I hope it would be a good one. When I went up to the class, Jay a.k.a. Gay-Jay was there already and he made my heart beat even worst. I will never do a study group with him as he make me go blur. Besides, while waiting for the exam to start, the fluorescent light burnt and smokes came out from it. Is it Argon gas? It does smell like some Chinese traditional medicine. Anyway, nothing bad happened and everything went on well. About the exam, I finished it within 15 minutes and YES, I never checked what I did. So there will surely be some mistakes in it but I don’t care about what I’m going to get. I will never ever fail that paper and my results will not be THAT bad. Jay asked me to treat him if I get lower marks compared to him…I hope I did well though. ^^

After exam, I drove off to TARC instead without knowing a road to get there. Besides, before this I didn’t planned to go back to TARC for my results statement as I planned to join some of my college friends for a karaoke session at Times Square. I changed my mind because I just missed TARC too much which overcomes my keen feeling to go to Times Square at that particular moment. Back to the journey to TARC, I just aim for Dataran Merdeka as I know how to get to TARC by using Jalan Pahang. So, yeah. I did managed to get to TARC safely and fast. When I reached TARC, it really took my breath away. It is like a two different world if you would compare my current college with TARC. I just missed everything in TARC. The canteen, the badminton court, the lecture halls ( but not K block ), the students there and most importantly the OLYMPIC SIZED SWIMMING POOL! Lovely is the word.

When I stepped my foot at TARC today, I instantly went to my Pre-U block to get my results statement. It’s freaking hot when I reached there. I met Yean Teng and Jia Le when I first reached there and then Yuen Sang came. After receiving my results statement, we then went to Wangsa Walk Mall to have our lunch. 5 of us went there. Arthur went with us too! It’s been a long time since I’ve ever met him. We went to A&W for our lunch. I ordered Waffle and Root beer as usual. Shared the waffle with Yean Teng as I can’t finish it up. Had an awesome chat with each other and when it’s about 1.20pm, we went back to TARC and before that, we sent Yean Teng off to the LRT station.

Yum yum!

After that, I went to DK E to have a look at the ceremony. Had a nice chat with all my pals and my lecturers. Just missed them so much! I just noticed that I really do miss my TARC life after joining for my language class. Pictures!

First up. Picture with Arthur!

Then, picture with Jason the pinkie guy.

And now, a picture with my Chemistry lecturer, Mr.Low. Thanks for all your guidance. I still could remember the SP2 and SP1 substitution. Kick from the backside. LMAO!

Lastly, to our pretty Physics lecturer, Ms.Hwang. Thanks for all your guidance too in Physics. Unfortunately, I get to love Physics during Sem 3 but it’s not too late as I am getting better in Physics now. Jason did helped me a lot too! Same goes to Ms.Tam who is my Physics tutorial lecturer.

Taken when we weren’t ready yet. Thanks to Yuen Sang for not saying 1,2,3. Ms.Hwang ‘bo shong’ you already, Yuen Sang. ^^

So, after taking those photos I wanted to leave already but then Ms.Hwang did pull me into the lecture hall but I sneaked out again as it was kind of late already. It was a real tiring day for me as I stressed out myself because of the language exam the night before. All the best to all the current Pre-U students in TARC and never ever give up. Struggle all the way! You will never have any time to be playful when you really have the wisdom to do your best in A-levels. Ahh, speaking through experience? Yes! It was a tough journey all the way for the past one and a half years there for me but I did went through it well. I also did enjoyed the ups and downs I went through during that period of time. My results isn’t a bizarre one but I’m satisfied with it. Anyway, I shall be going back to TARC again next week and that would be the last time to go back there.

Till then!

P.S. TARC will always be in my heart! TARCIAN rules!
