Thinking about the past, I guess I have been spending too much time for myself, such as watching anime, surfing for anime, sleeping, shopping and etc. Why I have such boring life yet I am going to Birmingham next month? Very boring... And I also did not think of blogging at all, haha... The last post until right now, it's been a month coz I am a lazy bug.
In July, I did go to travel in Penang, which was third time traveling there and it has so much changes although I cannot recall anything. This was the only far-journey trip after so many years being in Kuala Lumpur, haha... When I looked back my photos 20+ years ago, I only remember the spots which had taken in the photos for the trip. Looking back the photos drove me to take initiative to organize my photos, not really organized for the past twenty years but the current photos are definitely organized coz each year I have different albums :P Everything seems to be very temporary, sigh...
I spend more time at home, probably I'm going overseas and family is the first priority to be together with. My parents and I have discussed a lot which I hope I can do them once I were there. Apart from that, I started to prepare my university application until the stage of applying visa and my visa is approved ^^ The only left procedure is buying air ticket. Applying for overseas university is not easy and involving lots of hassles and also accommodation, everything is done in step by step. Recently my family bought me to buy winter clothing together with gloves, socks, long johns, hats, sweaters... I really don't know how the weather is and just agreed what the shopkeeper said since he had been UK before. My dad was very excited, I can see from his face ^^ Now it's the best time to shop as Malaysia is having Mega Sale and I couldn't miss the chance buying things that I am going to bring there =P I really hate the weight limitation for flight.... =(
Hrm... What else? Haha... It's funny that having a domain but didn't work for it. I did work for my upcoming blog in UK by not using this blog anymore. It will be my special web blog for my life in UK, this is a must! Just wait for it ^^ I think I will end here as I know this post is going to be very long if I crap everything here, lol... I am a bit unfamiliarized when comes to blogging. It's been such a long time... Jya!
Kingdom Hearts
Wednesday, June 07, 2006
Bought both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II 2 PS games weeks ago and I finally... finally finished playing in terms of story line, but actually there are optional quests and bosses I have not complete playing yet :P
Well, saying this, I really salute myself, from a PS nerd until a hardcore Kingdom Hearts gamer within 3 weeks. At first, I knew nothing about the game, until the friend of mine, Kelly, kept talking about how fun the game is long time ago and I bought my very first PS game ever from a game shop at Citrus Park for RM 10 each. That time I was a bit stingy to pay, but after playing, it's worthy! Haha...
At the beginning, I really did not know how to play the game properly. But slowly, I gradually adapted to the in-game environment. My first time playing was accompanied by Kelly, who gave me guidance throughout the game play which that time I was playing without direction. That day, she stayed at my house until 10.30pm o.O But still, thanks for her time :D After that day, I tried to complete the first Kingdom Hearts by referring to walkthroughs on the net, without walkthrough, it will surely take me ages to play. The day onwards, I spent most of my holidays in the game. After playing the first, I move to the second game without resting. This shows that I am addicted to the game very much and even ignored many things around me =P This time, the second doesn't need to refer walkthrough much coz the game is more user friendly than the first, haha...! I started to like Sora, the main character in the game, he grows so much from the first to second in terms of appearance. His determination proves everything, and one more thing, his abilities are so cool in KH II! *drooling* I also like to find out more information about this game like the voice actors and the story ^^" By just playing, it's not enough, have to read reviews from others. I am very salute Square Enix, the studio which produces lots of PS games. From KH itself, I also started to know more about Final Fantasy's characters. I wish I could play them all, too.
Oh well, I really hope that there will be Kingdom Hearts III, which every KH fan is longing to. If really have, I can't wait to see Sora's new appearance! ^^ He's way too cool! Sometimes even hope that there will be anime or movie about Kingdom Hearts, hahaha! I should stop playing for the time being...
Finally... Everything is done!!!

After so many weeks of stress and hard work, my stress has reduced to 0%, I'm no longer tied to any deadlines. Previously I was helpless, but now everything has overcome~! I am so proud of myself ^^ These few weeks, I hardly enjoy my life. You see, 1 day has 24 hours, I spend 6-7 hours of sleeping and the rest of the hours is dealing with my works in front of computer. Before dealing with my graduation works, I dealed with my portfolio that was going to submit to universities in overseas. It sounds simple, but, I just don't want to submit my "shitty work" during my Digital Portfolio subject. I redo everything and make it as perfect as I could. Due to that, I always postponed my submission date :P Until the day I finished everything, I straight away submitted them and my next task was doing website for my batch. I was in charge of doing animation a compiled everything from my classmates to make it whole. Sigh... Multimedia Department lacks of members, our art director, Seng Kai is so frustrated with it, so I just helped him as much as I can and tried my best on my part. Besides, Kelly also helped me doing website and deal with scripting ^^ After the CD-ROM of my batch has released, the website was going to finish too, only left a bit of minor problems that need to be refined. It's being uploaded to test and get a lot of compliments from the communitees, this is such a great success of my part :P By handling this job, I am able to communicate well with Seng Kai whom I hardly talk with and understand him more than last time :P From this project, I also 'level-up' my skill in Flash.
The masterpiece: LA30RATORY
Thanks to the Multimedians that involved in this project, everyone did a good job! /no1
Oh, besides that, I also have my own domain (finally): www.zhingyee.net
It is under construction though :P I want to rest first before planning this important task of designing my own website.
I think I finally back to blogging world, since I am free now, hehe...
K.I.S.S.
Thursday, April 27, 2006
K.I.S.S. = Keep It Short & Simple
I think my blog should stick to this principle and not go too long... Blogging too long and detailed is very time consuming after blogging for so long. Why can't I just blog short yet meaningful? Haha... Probably I am too lazy to write so long although I am used to be. Well, from now on, no long-winded blog from me anymore >P (depends on the situation) But I will post appropriate photos when necessary, hehe...
All the best to myself ^^"
Travelled from here to there
Friday, April 07, 2006
During Graduation Campaign class, Kelly suddenly asked me whether going to Low Yat Plaza to collect her warranted external hard disk or not. Without hesitation, I agreed to her... coz... I haven't been going out for quite a few weeks already... What I mean is going else where to relax rather than after class, stay in the room, face to the monitor, etc... Such a boring life I have recently.
Nothing much in the class, it was just that 2 guests from design industry were invited by lecturer and the purpose was to share their experience from after graduation until their current career. This session was very useful for us as well, if not mistaken, both of them were graduated from TOA long-long time ago XD They have been gone through lots of agencies and companies... I found this session was easy to catch up. Their talk ended before 12pm, then lecturer announced that there will be people from ShangHai will talk about their company's profile and what really amazed me was they are opened for interview! Although I know I will be studying in overseas, why not give me a try, can be fun too! XD Kelly was so indecisive but in the end she was willing to give her name to lecturer that she's going to be interview as well XD
Ok... Quit crapping. Without wasting time and saving some money, we had our lunch at Ming Tien Restaurant, which both of us eating prawn noodles XD While waiting for our noodles to come, there was a volunteer interrupted us by asking us to donate -.- It's actually about recycling and environment issue and help them by buying a book cost RM8.80 Sigh... I understand his intension and effort in convincing, but as a consumer, when a things is useless to you then you won't buy it, right? My bowl of noodles was going to run out of soup because it was absorbed by the bee hoon >< The guy was finally left and we can have our meal 'peacefully'. After a while, Ram and his friend 'tumpang' our table, haha...
After the meal, we went to Pyramid Tower to get our cars, which parked next to each other XD Driving out from the area, thought of going to Kelly's house together to get the warranty paper and I parked my car in front of her house, then only go to Low Yat, same as what we did last time XD But, saw her car gave signal turned into housing area and she called me, saying that it's better that I parked my car here and when coming back can drop me by here without driving myself to her house. It's a good idea. Parked my car at the small path in between housing area and we were about to start our 'journey' XD
Reached her house and the first thing to do was... BROWNIE!!! This time it didn't bark at me anymore, being friendly with me by welcoming me with its 'embrace' (holding and crowed my left leg), hahaha... After Kelly got her warranty sheet, I asked for taking photos with Brownie again XD
 Its look is bigger than mine. Believe it or not? Believe it.
Go go go!!! Using Penchala Link heading to KL Sentral, as Kelly wanted to buy train ticket for her beloved CF. She parked her car far outside of the entrance and allowed me to drive her car when anything happens. She came back again coz she forgot to bring money down -.- She said in front there got space, asked me to drive nearer to the entrance. This was my first time driving her Kenari, it's totally different than my Kembara XD Along our way from Sunway to Bukit Bintang, we really talked a lot, regarding ourselves and even our fathers XD She parked her car in Low Yat plaza coz it's more convenient although rather expensive >< We went to 2th floor by using lift and I was the one who led her to Sri Computers as she said that she had never been so 'inside' before -.- Haha...
She finally got back her external hard disk. At the same time, we browsed around Sri Computers as she wanted to buy thumb drive. When paying that time, she wanted to buy other stuff, like mouse. I recommended her small, pink Microsoft mouse coz looks cute =P After buying, we stroll around the shops until never knew that we passed the time, should be in Low Yat within 1 hours as the parking fees is bloody expensive. Sigh... Have to spend another RM2 for another less than 1 hour of time. Visting CD shops for fun and chatting non-stop XD I referred to some DVDs for pirated animes and see which I have and which I don't have, so that I can download rather than buying :P
When 1 hour of time almost finished, we went to ground floor and my stomach was asking me to feed it, and what came to mind was Auntie Anne! I bought a cheese flovoured, ahh... can't wait to eat it!
 My saliva is dripping, can you see it? I bet you cannot :P
After that, we paid for the parking fees by sharing as Kelly was run out of cash already XD So, we were in Low Yat for less than 2 hours. Yay... It's pretzel's time! I purposely waited until coming out from the plaza then only eat XD But... After the first bite, I was completely disappointed, it's too HARD!!! What the heck!!! My teeth were having hard time when tried to 'chew' it into pieces while my face muscles were given chance to exercise too -.- Why it became like that... Or maybe the shop produces something like rock. Sigh... Even so... I still like it...
 My teeth are going to break into pieces before the pretzel, what the heck!
The sky was already very dark, it seemed that the rain will be very heavy soon. Kelly was using NPE highway so that there would be less traffic congestion. She even raced with KTM, ahahahah... It's very fast to reach Sunway and she dropped me down beside my car so that the rain wouldn't drench me much XD Okay... That's where we separated. My car inside was like a sauna although outside was raining, all the mirrors was covered by steam >< I guessed that's because before raining it was very hot until all the heat trapped in my car and when it meets cold it will have condensation (what the... why I got such hypothesis XD).
Well, that's all for my 'traveling' with Kelly after class. Thanks for spending time on reading it XP
My Mac is 1-Year-Old
Tuesday, March 28, 2006
Oh well... The date was supposed to be 27th March but since there is something happening to my 'Big Mac', I decided to talk about it today. Recently, my Mac was infested by ants, I just don't know why... Probably it's 'too sweet' and attracted lots of ants. I have been taking care it well since it is bought but I totally have no idea why the ants are so stubborn. Before it is infested, I put my Mac on table in aligned with my PC everyday, just in case me or Ah Wei need it if PC is occupied. One day, I saw Mac's keypad was full of ants and I started to be very panic. I swept them away and I took out key button to 'kill' them. After the matter, I failed to put back the buttons (F9 and F10) >< The next few days, when I opened the cover, there were even more ants... OMFG... I took my Mac to toilet and Ah Wei helped to use clothe to sweep them into toilet bowl. Unfortunately, the rubber that sticks on the keypad was dropped to no where, since it is transparent, there is no way can be found. Sigh... So I took the effort to send it back to Mid Valley's Apple Centre to 'service'.
This morning, I woke up early and after a while, there was Vincent from the centre called me. I heard bad news. Well, he asked me to change the whole keypad which costs RM420. That figure was amazed me, last time bought this Mac for RM9600 and this time RM420... I agreed him to change, what to do??? I haven't informed my parents yet... Just wondering what is their reaction after hearing this >< Vincent said it will be done within 4 days and he will call me after it's done.
I told this to dear and Kelly. Kelly reminded me of warranty, my Mac is still under warranty, maybe the expenses can be covered. So, I quickly contacted Vincent and he told me that the warranty cannot be claimed because it is an external damage, which caused by myself T_T Haih...
My Mac cannot be with me although it is officially 1 year-old. T_T Feel sorry to it...
Blogging in class :D
Monday, February 27, 2006
Today just had my mid term presentation for MMPS, now I am very relief that a burden has released from my and become lighter. I had been so rushing from yesterday until the moment reaching the lab. When the presentation was going on, I received a call from Students Service Department. I left my name there last Friday because that time the person was not around. So, I was called by her and I would go to find her with Kelly after class. I was so boring, so I secretly surfed FanSub's website to check Anime's update. OMG, Static-Subs released Mai Otome's episode 18 and 19 at once! Sigh... I wanted to download them using this MAC coz the connection is VERY fast, but unfortunately it is locked, cannot run the Bit Torrent's application =(
The first session was ended rather late, supposed to be 12pm but 12.15pm, lecturer announced the next class would at 1.15pm. Me and Kelly went upstairs to find the person and had lunch at Ming Tien Restaurant. Due to the parking expenses, I have to collect my car before 1pm so that the parking fee will remain RM 1, otherwise the following hours will charge RM1 per hour, that Kelly followed me as well -.- When think about my toes, it's so suffering because I am wearing Ah Wei's not-so-high heel shoes. I guess my toes will not last longer, too painful ><
After lunch break, went to the class early to online, although don't know what to surf around :D Helped Kelly to reorganize her papers in funny matter, but still neater than previous :P Lecturers went into the class rather late. The class becomes sudden silence, I also quit Safari to stop surfing :P Lecturers are calling out one by one go out to be critiqued about the presentation just now. So, while waiting for my turn, I blog this for fun, or else I really don't know what to do.... I want to blog many days ago but I cannot blog without photos that I took everyday :P I shall think what to do later.
Oh ya, next week will be Exploration Week (mid term break), I want to watch as many Anime as I can! Full Metal Alchemist will be my first priority ^^ See ya!
My 21st Birthday Party!
Monday, February 06, 2006
Back then, it was already 3 years since my 18th bithday party that organized at home. That time, I only invited my former secondary schoolmates to celebrate with me, not a big occassion though. But, the time has come, I want my 21st birthday to be different! 6th February was the 9th day of Chinese New Year and it was Monday. Before Chinese New Year, dad has already invited his collegues and their wives to come over to celebrate my birthday and at the same time they can mix around to have fun during Chinese New Year. I have been so nervous until today, my big day :D
No doubt, Monday has classes, but after a deep consideration, I decided to take leave for the next class which was in the afternoon (1-4pm), otherwise I will be very rushy later, since I was the main character for this special occassion =P I kept thinking how should I treat my guests later... My ever first and big occassion in my life Ah... Getting nervous...
When I reached home, I parked my car outside coz I saw tables and red plastic chairs at the car porch. In the evening, the people who in charge of roasting goat had arrived. After a while, dad was back too.
 Don't get mistaken, this is my dad XD  This is not :P  Poor goat =(
The time was approaching, so everything has to be set up, dad arranged the tables and chairs initially, and after a while, catering staffs were here to arrange and decorate the tables as well as utensils. Lolz... I was getting so nervous, I rather went to bath and got myself ready =P
Ah Wei helped me to make up and I promised her to wear the top that she bought for me as present :D Lolz... It has been long since my last heavy make up, I wonder when already :P I like the outcome, but I felt uncomfort on my face, maybe not used to it, hahaha... As planned, Kelly, Ram and Angel will arrive around 6+pm, coz Kelly wanna reach here earlier. Finished preparing myself, and it's time to take picture around! I hoped to take lotsa lotsa pictures today, but I was afraid that I might be too busy until forget to hold camera later, some more got video cam. Sigh... I really don't want to miss every moment when the party was going on, what can I do? T_T
 Ouside view
Yoshhhhhhi... Let's do my BEST and face everything from now on! After being busy a while in the kitchen, I heard somebody has come. Ooo... They were Kelly, Ram and Angel~ Received a BIG present from Kelly, I wonder what's inside :D Since they were my first-coming guests, I had to make them to feel homie. Treated them cookies and drinks, then led them to tour around living room and dining area. I know Kelly knows my place well, but I had to do what a host does :P Lastly, we settled at yard, by playing card game. Haha... Don't know why I kept winning when playing Chor Dai Di, maybe they let me win or my good luck was around me :P
 Ram, Angel, Kelly and me
The day was getting darker and it has raining phenomenon, oh no! Well, it did rained, I just prayed it to stop and let my event to go on... Coz dad didn't ask for setting tent outdoor.
Luckily, the rain was stopped~ Maid and sisters were busy wiping the chairs outside and cleaned everything in mess. It was time to celebrate! Relatives and guests were coming one by one, I did received wishes and presents from them :D I just couldn't stop smiling~
The yard has become my friends assembling place, haha... Tek Loong, dear, Pong and Suet Koon had come, but Man Chun will be here shortly. Actually there will be a lot more, but sadly most of them live in hostel so they couldn't make it to my party, yet I received their wishes through SMS and presents ^^ Later on Corinth and her boyfriend, Daniel were here too~ Erm... Where are the rest of my classmates? Now still only got Kelly, Angel and Ram... >< Hahaha~ I was so busy that dad kept calling me out of the yard to receive wishes and presents from uncles and aunties when I was with my friends. I asked Ah Xien to help me take video around and my cousins are all around the house. Suddenly the silent house became so lively ^^
 Hungry guests~ =D
The food was all ready to be eaten~ Ram was yelling for food since he came now it's time for them to eat while waiting for the rest of my classmates. Dad was busy treating his colleagues, mum was busy treating their wives, sisters were busy treating with relatives and I busy treating my friends, such a funny combination, but still as the host, I also got mix with others to make sure they are occupied with joy.
 Me and my classmates, missed out Kelly and Ram
Eating had spent quite some time, and that time I was busy switching tables, so funny XD Karen was unable to get here although I showed her the map to my house, so I asked for help from Kelly by taking her here correctly.
 Food~
I was barely had the will to eat much at the same time, maybe I have so much things to deal with. Ah Wei helped me to collect my key-shaped cake at this last minute coz the cake was too big to put in fridge. I also brought my friends to visit my house from room to room, especially for those first time being here :D Luckily my room was cleaned before the event because I know this will happen :P
It was around 10+pm and time to blow my 21 candles (2 big candles and 1 tiny candle :P). I gathered everyone to take photos, this was the most important session in the entire party~
 My old pals~  My classmates~  Corinth and her bf, Daniel~  My family~  Chen's family~
They sang 3 versions of birthday songs, I was so touching~ Even until the song finished already I still refused to blow the candles XD Don't want to be 21 years old T_T Oh well, fact is fact, cannot be changed, lolz... Mum helped me to cut the cakes and distributed to the guests as well as my friends.
 All of us act cool :D
I knew that after eating the cakes they would be leaving, especially my classmates. So I tried to enjoy with them first then only my old schoolmates.
 Cheers!!!
Before they really left, my old pals asked me to take out a wine to drink, since I can officially consume liquor XD After that, I went out to see my classmates went off while my old pals went up to my room coz they want to stay longer~
 Taken by Pong~  Laughter spreads within the room
In the room, we digged out our interesting memories during high school life. I also took out 5 years of school magazines XD This was so much fun. Besides, I also showed my college works and dear's "Bad Hair Day" movie. We all laughed until stomachs were pain, hahaha~~ Well... The time didn't allow us to stay longer as they wanted to leave too. I saw car porch was cleaned and no more people. Thinking back, the party night was so short, although I haven't fully enjoyed XD
I really cannot forget this meaningful day of mine. First of all, I would like to thank my parents for giving this chance to organize this party and help to carry out the party successfully. Besides, thanks to all my friends, relatives and guests for attending my party and giving presents ^^ Now, I'm going to transfer photos from the camera as well as videos XD For presents, I will unwrap them tomorrow, definitely!
Homemade Sushi
Sunday, February 05, 2006
After buying salmon from dad's restaurant, mum made sushi by putting salmon inside =O~ This was also the first time mum putting salmon~ You cannot get this anywhere :P Although our dinner was only sushi, but the rice of the sushi was enough for us to get full >< Too bad dad was not here to eat with us coz he got dinner to attend.
Although the sushi that my mum made is not as special as others, what we tasted was its fullness and the salmon itself. Unlike Japanese restaurants out there, one plate of salmon sushi costs around RM4, only 2 mere salmon slices. but here, it's priceless :D Mum-made sushi is always the best, although every time is the same style :D Eating together with mayonnaise or Japanese soya sauce is such a great match. Haha... Even I'm blogging now still can recall the taste of the salmon =P
Ahhh... I can't wait to have another salmon feast that mum prepared~~~~~~
Bei Hai Restaurant
Saturday, February 04, 2006
This is the restaurant of my dad's. Don't be surprised, actually it's not completely my dad's but he and his colleagues invest model in the restaurant, while his friend runs this business. That's how it is.
The restaurant was opened not long ago in order to earn more profit during Chinese New Year, as you know that during Chinese New Year many families would spend money on gourmet, especially today. Well, today was 人日, when 捞生 was supposed to have together with family members. I know dad has been this restaurant many times but this was my first time being at the restaurant XD
Dad had already informed paternal site about this special and it's going to be held at the restaurant. At night, before going to the dinner, me and Ah Wei was preparing ourselves in order to wear nicely XD Haha... Actually we had already planned the clothing yesterday night, the one I planned to wear yesterday was black but today, mum disallowed me to wear black >< So I had to change, it's a bit sexier, too low XD That's why I wore another white small shirt outside to cover it ><
Okok... Back to the topic. The restaurant is joined with the next shop which is selling seafood products, it's not a normal seafood shop though, coz it's selling expensive ones such as lobsters, abalone, crabs, fishes and etc. The term is like they provide material and the restaurant cooks to serve customers, both sides are beneficial XD Dad treats this restaurant like he's XD Walking in and out the kitchen, lolz... While waiting for dishes to come, I observed the surrounding. Waiters and waitress were so busy and I can see the mess, coz this restaurant hasn't been renovated due to the peak season.
Our first dish, everyone was waiting for this dish to be seved. This meal had 10 dishes, including desserts o.O The first few dishes were so special, seafood basis XD Then the rest of the food were quite common. I did take every single dishes but I don't think I can post them one by one, haha...
Since we all wore so nice that time, should have taken lots of photos, haha... Our stomachs were so full until cannot completely finish the dessert. Ah Wei's bf and his family were here too, but too bad they came late and having the meal upstairs XD After the meal, it's time to go already.
Before that, we also wanted to see the seafood shop. It does surprised me as I can approach them in a short distance, we all stayed outside and rest. Ah Wei's bf and his family were there too. Both of them were so shy and they gasphed to each other secretly from what I can see XD
 Four Golden Flowers XD 
Oh yeah, dad also bought half salmon fish from the restaurant XD At home, mum sliced them into many big slices so that next time can be eaten more convenient, haha~
Gintell... At last...
Friday, February 03, 2006
Finally, dad bought massage chair from IOI Mall when he and mum went to buy bed sheet set for their bed (only). It was so out of the blue that dad will buy a massage chair even though I begged him to buy last time :P He ordered Gintell's. I was thinking, why Gintell? I thought Ogawa is better? :D Hrm... Maybe it's cheaper? I don't know~
Besides, I saw they brought back 2 freebies after ordering the chair, a dolphin-like handy massager and uZap thingy (not uZap though). Dolphin one looks so cute but the so called uZap looks bulky, lolz... What we have to do is to wait for its arrival~
At night, my grandparents, uncle and his family came to visit us while we were having our dinner. My grandpa, suddenly requested me to play video that we took during reunion dinner :D Even if he didn't request, I will also open for them to watch, coz they were inside the video ^^
Cake Ordering
Thursday, February 02, 2006
Yay! My birthday has 4 more days to go, so me and Ah Wei went out to buy cake. The first bakery that came to my mind was Baker's Cottage, why? Somehow I think the cakes from Baker's Cottage is better than King's. Personally I have not been Baker's Cottage for quite a long time, but I did remember that there got cake catalogues, hopefully the bakery has more choices.
Parked my car nearby and we entered to bakery. I asked for the catalogues from the people in charge. I wanted to find a key-shaped cake which represents 21 years old, luckily there was available, some more got a few choices :D The cream has 2 types, butter cream and fresh cream. I prefer fresh cream as butter cream is more fattening. The people in charge said the cake is customizable, so I requested to have blueberry filling instead of black forest. After choosing my favourite one, it's time to fill in the order form and pay deposit. It's written RM54 but I missed the word 'per kg' >< So, the total was quite a big number o.O
Okay, the day of collection will be on my birthday, looking forward to it~ ^^
