~*IceShaun*~ goes to Ipoh then Changkat Kruing then Lumut then Sitiawan then home

Wassup ppl! lolz, ok so I went off to Perak last Sunday to see my grandmother one last time before leaving (awww, ok - I promise I wont cry) Anyways, it was a three hour journey to Ipoh, would have taken less time if we didnt stop for food and restrooms.. SWT During that journey I was busy educating myself about the bimbo-ish world of girls. Was reading the Devil Wears Prada. Lolz...



Got to Ipoh!! Yay - now we go on search for that 'famous' shop that sells the 'good smelling biscuits' that my mum wanted to buy. That took another 30 mins.. sigh, but we finally got there and bought the biscuits.. on the way out we stopped by the super long row of shops selling pamelos!! O_o When our car stopped, all the girls stood outside their stall hoping to attract customers to enter their shop. -_-;;


So anyway - there it was the long line of pamelos, and there were girls standing outside trying to attract u to buy their 'fruit'. Lol, like chow kit road only la.. ipoh ppl! swt... Once we went into a shop the girls from the other shop showed their frowns, went back into their shops - sat down and continue to sms ppl.. Lolz..


Seriously, I didnt see ANY pamelos from all those girls - they only got little oranges la.. Lolz..

Next! We're off to visit my grandma, got there after another hour I think. Finally could stretch my feet after getting out - The place is in a fruit orchard. So lotsa place to run around if you can take the heat la. Since this was my last time here... I decided to take some pics of the place :


This is a rambutan - for those city ppl who is super sesat la... I know you can get rambutan from the supermarket, but that's like all packed up. This one is still growing from the branch! Cool mou?




So, this is a pigeon - you can find lots of these in the city, but Have you seen one in a cage? Lolz, kla - not really that special but just look weird seeing them in a cage... and this one is kinda cute also,


This is a palm tree - the Fottingham ppl should know a lot bout them la.. nice looking tree, got a lot of them around. I would have to say they're very useful as well, provides good shade as I walked around.


This is the palm oil fruit, is that what you call it? wtv la.. Looks weird - looks like a hundred bug eyes looking right at you.. lolz Next fruit is :


Jambu!! once again, not packed in supermarkets - but still growing from the tree.. so nice and fresh.. some of fruits eaten dy - cis... must be birds, the next pic is interesting..


Dragon Fruit! lolz, this one not that ripe yet - the ripe ones were plucked off dy... I've never seen the dragon fruit tree before, you wanna take a look? ^.^


The tree, looks so so so... ugly lolz, yeap.. the fruit tastes nice though.. the tree looks like medusa's hair or a bunch of snakes -_- ;; Bring this to UK and what do you get?

SNAKES ON A PLANE!! LOLZ


This $hit is Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. THIS $HIT IS BANANAS! B-A-N-A-N-A-S... A bunch of unripe bananas.. hmmm, should have came a few weeks later.. lolz..

The next pic is requested by walnut.. dun ask me why - but some ppl haven seen a shitting hut before...

This is the hut where we used to shit at. But now with proper plumbing facilities, this hut hasnt been in used for years... Wanna come in?


Here is the inside look, its simple : put one leg on one of the cement blocks.. aim your butt at the hole and Just do it. lolz - there's water outside, use the pail, scoop and pour the water in your $hit... and you're all done! Taadaa...


Grandma can be so creative at times... wow...

Then it was time to say goodbye, Bye Grandma (dun think you'll read this, but I'll miss you) sigh, and we're off to Lumut for er... *thinks* no apparent reason... lolz..


This is some of the only pic I took there, nothing much to look at cept for ppl fishing.. we left after 5 mins there.. lolz, boring place - dirty as well.. but nice to see family going out together and fishing together here. Then we went to Sitiawan for dinner and booze...

Got home quite late at night, and I slept even later... but it was fun ^.^

Here's some updates on the weeks that has passed...


Oliver's farewell party - went there late, due to work and I had to pick khirul up from the curve and then had to wait for waiken to guide him there. It was nice to see oliver one last time before he left for the states and I got to meet other old frenz as well. Saw nithiya there as well, after a long period of not meeting him. Oh, and shen came back from his month long vacation in down under. Nice catching up with them...
Bye Oliver - if we do not meet ever ever again, all the best and good luck in your future!!

Later that week, let's see what happened? hmm, oh - I got my a lvls results ^^ happy and we went to Red Box to sing our hearts out. Puiyeen and Joe was there to cheer us on? Actually I didnt know why they were there but it was fun to have more ppl at Red Box. Sing sing and sing even more till we almost lost our voices - though I think its basically cos of that Linkin Park songs... lolz

Oh yea, then I watched a movie with old kepong frenz at 1u after having dinner at peranakan. I kinda forgot what movie I watched but it was ok. Then my so-nice-of-them-not-to-disturb-me-during-work kepong frenz decided to leave me out from nithiya's farewell lunch. Sigh... what la - they're lame excuse was not to disturb me during my work. I think it was obvious that they forgot about me.. sigh anywayz..
Bye Nithiya - if we do not meet ever ever again, all the best and good luck in your future!!

Then what happened? Hmm, I had give my last sermonette on friday and the week after that I had a football match against the Seremban church. Lost - sigh.. but its ok, what matters is that we make frenz with new ppl. Then I rushed back only to find that we cant make it to KLIA to see Chia Ling off.. sigh, then had dinner with the same frenz who forgot about me at nithiya's farewell..
Bye Chia Ling - if we do not meet ever ever again, all the best and good luck in your future!!

Last week ,we sent Puiyeen off at the airport - woke up so early just to get rdy and then left to early to klia. Transportation there thx to khirul... Then she msg and said that her plane got delayed till 1pm.. omg OMG what la, but spent some time with her - it was more like teasing her non stop, but that was prob the last time I'll tease her in person - for this year la.. I think, then me and walnut left for Zoo Negara. Nice place - lol, only some of the animals were so darn lazy!! ugh...
Bye Pui Yeen - if we do not meet ever ever again, all the best and good luck in your future!!

Then cos of the rush and work - I got sick and I'm still recovering, sigh... I'm gonna write out my sermon for sunday's church.. I hope that I dont sound sick tomorrow..
I'm officially off work!! Lolz, now I can start doing all the preparation needed to leave this country for further studies. Everyone seems to be busy with their own lives. Ppl starting uni's , ppl preparing to start uni's and ppl working... they lead their busy lives...
I have to say that I hardly keep in contact with ppl I knew from primary school and secondary school when I got into college - and that was when I'm still in Malaysia. Now some friends are leaving to other countries and so am I. It is certain that I'll lose contact with some ppl I know now - who knows, years from now we may pass each other on the street and just continue walking. I'd hate to lose contact with ppl I call frenz - but if it happens, I'll hold onto the memories of the times we've shared

I am leaving in one month's time - for those I'll see during that time, our goodbyes come later, but for those I wont see then - Goodbye, my friend.. I'll cherish the times we've shared together till the end...

Gotta write my sermon now... . . .

Things I love bout Msia...

From the 49 things listed by FHM for the 'Things we love about Malaysia' (get the copy from me if you wanna read it) I have selected things that IceShaun loves from there. (refering myself in the 3rd person, how vain is that? Lolz!)



~~Genting Highlands
Casinos, love it - nvr been in before though...
Theme Parks, love it - Its like a must to go in when you're there, no matter how many times you've been on the rides...
The weather,love it - an escape from the super hot weather in PJ...
Cable Cars, love it - You have to get there somehow right?
Expensive food, Hate it - RM 10 for a small plate of mee? Wtf!!! Sigh, I'd rather eat the 10 ringgit note...
Amazingly huge number of kiasus there, hate it - WTF! So kiasu until wanna book place in the line for other frenz/family. Stay where you belong la!! ...


~~Breakfast
OMG, so obvious right? all the super unhealthy food available... No coffee, tea, toast, cereals or wateva... dump those!!
Roti canai, nasi lemak, teh tarik, some dim sum, hongkong chee cheong fun, hokkien mee... and all the other oily and potentially deadly if overconsumed food... Muahahaha


~~Burger Ramli
like OMG again!! Go there and ask for Burger Daging/Ayam Double Special Cheese. It might be the most expensive thing there, but trust me on this - it's worth it! So Darn nice!! I wan 1 now!
Beats McD and BK anytime, anywhere...


~~The Slang
Love it and love the slangs that have been created by frenz - lah, apa lu? , Dame, Mat 7 u wan? , yam , fungry , diao , 99 , play kuku , stim . . . .


~~Mamak
Without mamak - there is no place to gather and lepak, how else are we teenagers going to loiter and waste away our money and health and so called precious time? Lolz! Just came back from SS2 murni, try the food there.. can stim wan..


~~Football
We watch EPL and other country's leagues more than our local ones.. muahahahah, how I love that fact - Go Arsenal!!!


~~Profanity
Curse in so many languages !!! Cool, mix it all up and what you get? A rojak swear sentence that's universal to everyone... Lingua Franca becomes Lingua Fuk Ya...
-_-;; Dame...


~~Piracy
Many ppl say it sucks, but many wallets disagree... love it a lot cos I get cheaper cds and dvds all around. Just need to know where to get really clear ones.. lol


~~Futsal
Needless to say, I love this game - and will continue to love it, can be played with a team of 10 ppl in total and I enjoy every moment of it, though my legs constantly get bruised up so badly cos of NOOBS WHO LIKE TO KICK MY LEG INSTEAD OF THE BALL. But at the end of the day, I still love it - Joga Bonito...


M'sia is my home... will always be - I grew up here and will return!
M'sia Boleh!! omg - why so patriotic all of the sudden... something happening on the 31st of Aug ah? oh yea.. got hols, can lepak more.. hehe

Hey...


Not much time to upload the loads of pics I've collected.. but here's the latest thing about my work.. Khirul has joined me for a few weeks now, and I'm quitting this friday - So long to my work place.. Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd

-Will post more pics on Honda in the next few posts-


Here's how you wrap a Radio, in this case a Blaupunkt Radio from a Honda City, with model number GD866 or GD867 - I know, I've been doing this for far too long.. Lolz..


Step 1 - Place a bubble wrap on the table, I know! Bubble wrap! so fun.. hehe

Step 2 - Place a radio on it, but it must be in the centre of the bubble wrap, you can find the centre by counting where the Centre of Mass of the bubble wrap is...


Step 3 - Once the COM is found and the radio placed, start packing by wrapping the bubble wrap around the radio. Follow the next picture...


Almost there! Step 4 - Finish wrapping it la.. lazy wanna write it out dy, but look how nicely it is packed - all you need is a lot of practise to achieve such perfection. Like over 50 radios.. haha


The finished product.. so nice! WOw.. amazing what I can do at work ryte? hehe, (Im sooo darn perasan now) Just bear with me la, cos that's about as interesting as it gets where I work.. lolz


This is IceShaun - signing off! Smiling at work as well.. hehe, work is fun - but coming home to sleep is better... See ya! (updates on other events to come)

Updates...

It's been a while since my last post.. so here's some updates..

A levels results came out!
Ooohh, wasn't that scared or anxious - dunno why... missed work that day, but it was ok - so I went there with waiken and guess what? We had to wait for 3 hours to get it. Apparently the directors love to get their Thai Massage on our results day.
I got straight A's!! Weeeeeee... Happy!! Lolz..
AAAAA - - - - I just cannot believe it.. From failing my furmath during trials, now I got an A for it... ^^ life is good..


I get to go to London! Whoo Hoo!!


Dunno why - now that I'm leaving, I seem to find more reason to stay day by day. *Sigh*
As the day of my departure comes, I find it harder and harder to leave this country. At first I thought it would be easy - but now, I'm changin my mind...

I'll definately miss this place. You'll always have a place in my heart, I will always remember you though distance seperates us. Remember that I'll always think of you everytime I can. I missed you already - I need you all the time. As I leave, I feel my heart shatter at the thought of losing you. Good bye, my love - M'sian Food...
