Narrations

Last weekend was a short break from the cram that is the study week. Sis came back from Hong Kong with goodies. Mid Autumn festival just passed but fret not, those calorie packed parcels are still out there if you look at the right places. Sis brought home a bunch of them from the land of Dim Sum and Wantan Mee.

mooncake with nuts and meat


mini mooncake


some mooncake-ish kuih with century egg...yea those black eggs you get with your porridge

Then there's this huge mooncake that cost her RM50 for a piece. Contains 9 salted yolks. 9!

The granddaddy of mooncakes..somewhere on it says 9 yolks


yolk in every slice


and all that other mooncakes


egg rolls


and egg tards.

There's this donut mania around the local blogosphere. Why get all obsessed with candy-coated fried dough that makes you fat when you can have bread-coated...

...fried biscuits that makes you fat? uh no

...fried chicken that makes you fat. Booyah!

Popped a few into the oven and yeh! baby! Prefer them over donuts any day. Add...

...mom's milky mashed taters and you got a smiling fat ass - me!

Of course food wasn't all she packed home.

Quiksilvers~! I got the blue pink ones...ghey~

Didn't get to study much last weekend cause I had to do a video recording of our robotic arm for our assignment. ugghh~ Ah Kiong better have some good marks for me...maybe I'll post the video here once I'm done :D One more week to celebrations and festivities !

then let's go jumping!

Two exams this week. Pardon the slow updates.

MMU turns 10 and so does Christian Fellowship(CF) of MMU. The committees from both campuses worked hard to organise this event cum reunion with the theme WE ARE ONE. They invited the pioneer batch of MMU who started the CF itself. Also present were the other nine batch of students for every year including my year. Note MMUCF is CF Malacca campus and CFMMU is CF Cyberjaya campus.

The ticket

The anniversary magazine

Lot's of faces I've never seen before


Very lavish

There were a few performances by both campuses that included a dance, a musical presentation and two band performances.

CFMMU's opening dance


CFMMU's Oneted


MMUCF's PG165

Didn't get to take a pic of the MMUCF's musical presentation but think of it as STOMP with Amazing Grace as it's central theme. After that food was served for hi-tea. Good food I must say.
No pics because I was busy eating. Later the seniors and pastors gave testimonies about the forming of CF and also how it was like back then.
Then we had photo sessions for each batch.

The pioneer batch, from 1997. Notice they have kids and most of them are married

The group pic of EVERYBODY...a sea of people...and where was I?


Playing the fool with other fools behind everyone :D

All the Cyberjaya peeps. No pics for Malacca cause I was in the pic

After that was praise and worship session and it was already around 7pm. I left at 8 to rush to St. Francis Institution, my alma mater for yet another reunion. Lot's of pics this post. For even moar! pics go to Andrew's blog.
CF has a quite an interesting history. MMU disallows any society that is religion based so for a few years CF operated underground. As some of the seniors would tell you, CF today is somewhat illegal as well D: So that means I'm in a member of an underground movement? Expedacious!

Last Saturday was Sue's birthday bash; not really a bash really just friends coming in having food and talking. I was there with half of Crew; Adrian, Kiwen, Han and - . Keo was flying and Edwin was at survival camp. Pilots...
I only got to know her recently because she was part of NFAZ and NFAZ and Crew are good friends. haha

People who came was mostly strangers to me but at least I wasn't alone. Food was great; home-cooked rather than crappy catering stuff. So you can say I was there simply for the food :D
They had homemade satay celup too. There was a dress code for the night : no black and white.
That's why you can see traffic lights everywhere.

Sue getting her golden key. Freedom lo..can seh kia lo

Her cake

NFAZ and passing snails

Sue with half of Crew

The little cupcake you see is something noteworthy. I'm guessing cheese and liquor dough or mixture, chilled then scooped and served on homemade mini pie crust. Good stuff. Now if only I could persuade her mom for the recipe...

The pics I took were really dark because I don't like using flash. So the pics you see now are photoshopped. I mean you can clearly see that right? right!?
Anyway happy birthday Sue! Hope you become wiser every year.




Off-topic:


Having fun with 15 second exposure on my cam after the party. Nice results. Should screw around with it more.

What do I do on the weekends in a town as boring as Melaka you may ask. Here's something to give you an idea...

I awoke at 10a.m. last Saturday, got online with Kiwen and Han, and we decided on Malay food. Lot 85 is the name of the place and nasi briani the game. We left at 11.30 determined to beat the lunchtime crowd.

Kiwen's with Ayam Kurma and Bayam

This is mine with Ayam Goreng Berempah

Whilst eating guess who went and pinch my sides...

Yeap Vijay, in the background with Stef and me. That's Han in the foreground by the way.

What a coincidence. And I was just asking him where to get nice Briani a few days ago at gym. He said he woke up with a craving. A few minutes later another familiar face showed up..

Don with Suling.

Don was fetching her to the bus station and they decided to stop here for lunch. She's going to Johor.
Lot 85 is a very popular place to get Malay food with a lot of curries and rendangs and kurmas to choose from. Don't be surprised that half of the crowd here are non Malays. Muhibah la~ Come early or end up queuing as the crowd builds up during lunch time. So what next?

Rambutans la~

Kiwen's dad is running a printing service somewhere near town. Behind the shophouse is a big field and on that field is three rambutan trees. Whee~. Fruits for dessert. Free flow too.

We got to work straight away...
...taking turns...
...and savored in its sweet delights :D

If you notice the clothes here isn't the same as the ones above. The rambutan pics were taken the week before. We did had rambutan again after Lot 85 but we didn't take any pics. The same stuff happened so I can reuse the pics. I feel so "kampung boy", picking and eating rambutans of the trees. Fresh is the key word.

This is Han on Kiwen's "scrambler maut"

If you happen to see this bike in campus, it's Kiwen on it. Don also came later but he, as Kiwen would put it "no skill makan rambutan". So after awhile we hung out at the band room. What band room? haha I maybe I'll blog about it next time. Then we decided to go eat...

...Tong Sui

There's a nice little hawker at the foot of Bukit Cina, facing the Mitsubishi Showroom. Lot's of tong sui to choose from and some mee goreng and bihun goreng but we weren't hungry.

But that wasn't the end of it. Don bought an Optimus Prime toy for RM286!! And i just had to go play with it for the sake of my poor childhood haha. So over to his place we went. The toy is like as tall as your PC monitor and is a bitch to transform. In the span of 40 minutes we only managed to transform it from truck to robot, then back to truck once. Really complicated procedure and I was afraid of breaking the parts.

Me with a RM286 toy..yay

Went home at 5pm to get ready for church and that was the end of my day. Ahh but nightime brings other nocturnal activities as well. Haha I'll leave it for another time.

That was one of the more happening days really. Usually Saturdays I stay home and play games but sometimes I do get days like this that I feel is so fully used. Pics for this post courtesy of Kiwen and his canggih handphone. Wish I had my nokia 6131 back :(

Phew, long post..hope you enjoy it. Time for me beauty sleeps. Nights.
