Summer Jobs

I'm still in Tassie thought my exams are over.
Even my results are out.
Thank god I didn't fail any.

Been working this summer.
So far I've got a part time job as some sort of a chef in a chinese restaurant.
But all I cook is fried rice, but u'd be suprised how tiring it can get.
Cause that only takes up 2 nights a week,
I've been in casual employment doing farm jobs in Tassie.
So far I've only been picking spuds.
It's freaking hard labour.
U get a sore back and knees for kneeling the whole day.
Mud everywhere, even in ur nostrils and ears.....yulk!
And the worst part was the last time I went,
I sunburned my arse cause my stupid pants kept falling..........
I hear that there's gonna be cherry picking soon,
hopefully I get employed for that.
Can freaking stuff down as much cherries as I want while I work.

Well, at least the pay's good.
I get like 17AUD an hour picking spuds.
Just too bad that its just casual employment so I've only done it like 3 times so far.
The restaurant work pays much less,
like 10AUD and hour.
I guess its fine considering that they feed u as well and the working conditions are not half as bad as working on a farm.

Damn, I cant wait to go back Malaysia.
I wanna celebrate CNY!!!!

Just Some New Stuff I Bought

Too lazy to caption them so we'll just leave it at that.

Updates Again

Studying at UTAS now. Bored. Got some pics. All on facebook. Sendiri go see. Gd nite........

Medical Body Checkup

For those of you who still haven't gotten wind of it. I'm going to Launceston, Tasmania, Australia to further my studies coming this July. I'll be taking my Bachelor of Aquaculture at the Australian Maritime College(AMC) under the University of Tasmania(UTAS).

So, having received my CoE today, I went down to IDP KL and quickly applied for my VISA, and one of the main requirements of obtaining a VISA would be to go through a body checkup and have to doctor pronounce u sound of health. Seriously, it wasn't fun. Those of you thinking it's quite routine, slap urself and wake up!!

First of all, the nurses were definitely not the type I would call nice, I personally thought they'd be more at home at a military outpost. The first one I met snapped at me the moment she saw that I accidentally filled in certain parts of the form that was supposed to be filled in by her. She even threated to throw the form away and make me go prepare a new one(old hag!!). N there I was thinking that I had saved her the trouble of doing it.......... Next was the stupid X-ray. They told me to take off my shirt, and then ordered me to stick my bare check to some piece of freezing cold metal and they didn't leave it at that. The cruel nurses had to shout at me to stay still. I mean, the metal's freaking cold and I'm not wearing my shirt! How'd u expect me to stand still? Luckily, I managed to just do that for the 1 second they pressed the trigger to take the X-ray image. Talk bout good timing?

Oh yeah, then there's the urine test. They gave me a tiny little cup and told me to fill it up. At first, I thought the cup would be more than enough to fill whatever I had to release as I didn't have a particular full bladder today. I lament how wrong I was............... The cup started to fill up, 1 quarter, half, 3 quarters and I was still going and I was like 'STOP!!!!!!!!!!! Shit, this is gonna be so messy!!!!!!' All u guys out there know how hard it is to stop it when u've already started going at it. Just as the champagne was getting ready to spill over, the supply came to a halt. But that was not the end of it. I still had the task of pulling up my pants with one hand, while hoping that my cold sweat wouldn't drip into the very full cup which I was trying to balance using my trembling other hand. God if there were any, this was one where I really wished I was strong in the force and could use some Jedi trick to stop the liquid from spilling. In the end, when I came out of the little room, all the nurse did was dip some sort of litmus paper into it and told me to throw all the rest away. All that trouble for just this? WTF!!!!!

When I thought all my torture was over, I was called in to see the physician/doctor. At first, it was just normal stuff, he checked my blood pressure, looked into my throat, ears, etc.......... That was till he told me to take off my shirt and lie on the bed. Then he started massaging my stomach, checking for what, I don't know. Ok, for those of you who don't know, I'm super-duper even uber afraid of being tickled. So u could imagine how it was for me. Trust me, it got so intolerable and lasted so long that I really started wondering whether I was still in a clinic doing a medical checkup? Or rather had just been transported into some dungeon's torture chamber in ancient China. Hey, if the silly white boy could drop off a roof into ancient China in the movie Forbidden Kingdom, why can't I be tickled into it??

Well, when the tickling stopped(actually its more like prodding, but I shall call it tickling). The physician told me to strip off the rest of my clothes. Ok...............I did sorta guessed that he'd ask me to do that. But this was kinda sudden. Dude, I'm not ready! (Not with a guy at least and an old one at that) But it was still ok until he told me to look to my left with him standing on my right. I mean, HELL NO!!! I'm not gonna leave my most precious there bare for this old torturer to attack with my back towards him. That was when I looked into his eyes and realized that resistance was futile. Somehow, through some special ability of his, he gave me the message, crisp and clear that if there was any sudden movement from me, there was something new, worse and more unbearable than anything I could fathom that he could do to me. So, reluctantly, I turned my head, praying to every GOD and spirit that I thought would be willing to protect my best friend. I even considered for a second to offer my soul to Satan in exchange for dearest's well being. That was when the physician told me to cough hard. I could hear myself ask myself in slow motion 'wuuuuuuuuuuuut?!?!" I mean, HOLY SHIT!!! What sort of sick fetish does this guy have?!?! Coughing and a magic wand??? What a freakin' weird combination! This guy better hope he has a strong jaw, my clenched fist were ready to come crashing uninvited to win my freedom. But that was when I remembered that stare of his and I chickened out, and did a little cough which he wasn't satisfied with. Prompting him to demand that I cough harder. He must be an Alien! But somehow, after following through with his last request. He told me to dress up and leave. Maybe he wasn't satisfied, maybe he'd already reached an orgasm in his pants(if he was an Alien, not even sure if what he'd get was an orgasm). I didn't dare look. I just quickly dressed up and ran for the door. Phew..........safe at last!!

I swear, the next time I do a medical checkup, I'll demand that I'd be checked by cute nurses in small, tight uniforms and a smoking hot physician who has a thong hidden underneath her white coat. At least then, I would actually enjoy the torture.

Complicated

Why must it all be so complicated?
Always telling me to think twice,
Does it really make you all that more wise?
Why can't I just act before I think,
Speak faster than my eyes can blink?
Why does everyone have to be so deep?
What's wrong with being shallow?
Damn, it's better than being hollow!!
Stop dragging me into your complicated world,
Messing up my life in it's messy swirl,
Do you even remember the last time you smiled?
Glad you've noticed it's been a long while,
Seriously, that happiness you thought you saw?
Was just a mirage on the desert floor,
No matter what you may think or say,
At least I'm happy in my simple, little, not so complicated way.

Fat Panther

'Fat Panther'.
That's exactly what my cousin sister told her mum what she thought of me.
Apparently, the reason she gave was cause she feels that I'm fat and that I can run very fast.
Kids say the darnest things.....

But then again, they can get you into all sorts of trouble.
I hate it when they have to repeat everything u tell them to their parents.

Just the other day, I was playing, 'tickle' with a few of my cousins.
Not unexpectedly, considering they were boys, it got a little rough.
Instead of tickling me, they started scratching me.
That was when I blurt out 'God, if I had a gf, it's gonna be hard explaining these scratch marks.'
Being kids, they absorbed it like a sponge, and on the way back home they started talking amongst themselves at the back seat.
Giggling all the way discussing the happenings of the day.
When they reached the part about my little 'comment' giggles broke into laughter.
Their mum, aka my 'xiao yee' was curious so she asked them what was so funny.
N they told her everything.
When she told my mum about it, I could feel my 'bad influence' meter pushing the limits like Hamilton in an F1 car.
Damn.

PS: had a little adventure on Friday night, read more about it here.

Diving License!!!

I read that a picture says a thousand words.

I have four pictures here.
Need I say more?

He-Man??!!

I once said that I'd forget myself and pee in my pants,
if they'd make a movie outa Thundercats.

I'd like to add another to that list.

HE-MAN!!!!!!

Came across this article on the net.
If it really happens, I swear to GOD I'll weep like a new born baby.

The last He-Man movie made was incidentally, in the year I was born.
I remember watching it ages ago when I still had my chicken pillow(or was it the cat pillow, I can't recall).
But I definitely still remember how much in awe I was of Teela He-Man.
N then of course, there were the cartoon series.

Damn, thinking back, I was lucking to be an 80's baby.
I mean, we had Thundercats, Transformers, He-Man, Voltron and so much more.
Should start making a list of cartoon's I've watched growing up.
Then go search for it and watch it all over again to appease the inner child in me.
What can I say?
I'm a big kid, raring to pop the lid!!
(I know that sounds corny but this is my blog, loathe and love baby!)

Buang Air Besar/Buang Air Kecil

Saw this hanging outside the public toilet at the Merang jeti.
Seriously, how the hell is the fella gonna know if I was taking a shit or just peeing in there?

Bug Hunting at Genting

Went bug hunting with JJ and his lil sis at Genting Highlands in the middle of last night.
Interesting night, would have blogged about it.
But JJ beat me to it.
So check out the post on JJ's brand new blog!!

I know I'm getting lazy.
But what's the point of doing something twice right?

Btw, JJ and I might organize what I would like to call the 'Silly Games' in tribute to the 2008 Olympic Games that's gonna be held in Beijing.(total bullshit to make it sound honorable)
It's gonna be all about the fun of daring to be silly once in awhile.(more often for some)
The winner will be crowned silliest of them all by the silly man, Silly Tan himself.(just a suggestion)

So.................any takers?
Contact me by sending me an email at ah_kenn@hotmail.com.

Dive Guide

Been working as a dive guide at Redang Lang Resort on Pulau Lang Tengah for 2 weeks. Hardly have any pictures from the trip cause I didn't bring my camera. But I seriously had loads of fun. On top of that, I gotta learn alot of stuff from Ah Tee sifu, Desmond, William, Aung & Roslan. I also got to know a whole bunch of people(mostly divers). Amongst them, Jeff, A bunch of Biomarine undergrads(jia yee's gang), Jun Yan, Kenneth, Weng Keat, Jason, David, Gaik Li, Ping Peng, Irwin & Phang.


Oh yeah, guess what? I'm a certified Advanced Open Water Diver now!!
HOOOOOOOORAY!!!!!!

Opps, better cool down before I lose my diver's attitude.

ps : If any of u guys interested in scuba diving, can always check out my sifu's company's webpage.

Updates

Just came back from a diving trip to Pulau Lang Tengah with JJ, Ah Yang, Aaron, Ai Woon and Joanna.
Some of the pics are already on facebook.
Either that or u can check out the pictures on Aaron's Blog.

Now kinda just lazying around resting before I go back to Lang Tengah to work for 2 weeks in exchange for free dives.
So, the only way u guys can contact me from the 2nd of May till the 17th of May would be through my phone.
But.........
that would be hard also cause I'd be in the water most of the time.
Anyone interested in visiting me when I'm working there??
Just contact me before I leave for the place.
I'll be leaving on the 1st of May.

Lets hope this trip would be Sun, Sea, Sand and Girls for me.
HEHEHEHE!!!

Oh yeah, before I forget.
Kiat Yin and Ai Ai.
I really wanted to hang out with u guys here in KL.
But cause of the time contrains, I had to leave KL and start work A.S.A.P.
So, very sorry lah.
Dun curse me.

Suddenly

Just an extract from the song Suddenly by Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard.

Suddenly I don't need the answers,
Cos I,
I'm ready to take all my chances with you.

I guess that's how love should be for me.
Feeling sentimental tonight. Really dunno why.
Feel like a sissy all of a sudden.
Better get some sleep.

Totally Random

Nothing much happening. Graduating from my diploma soon. Went back to Terengganu a few days, and ended up having an Indian gf and a rock n' roll styled hair(at least tat's what my friends think).

Going to Lang Tengah to take my Advance Open Water scuba diving license at the end of the month. But looks like I'm not gonna have a dive buddy though I'm going with others who are taking the Open Water scuba diving license. Looking forward to it.

Applied to study in Australia. Amongst the universities that I applied were James Cook University, University of Tasmania and Deakin University. Hope I'll get a scholarship or something. Wonder where I'll end up.......

End of next month, going to Colmar Bukit Tinggi for Liven, Thomas and Wei Ken's farewell. Looks like I'm gonna get to try paintball for the first time.

Going to take part in some floor ball competition in Penang soon. This is Silly's idea. He even gave me as a present the floor ball stick and ball so that I would practice.

Joined Celebrity Gym at One Utama using a free 3 month voucher Desa Zai/Lai Sok gave me. The stupiak manager was really rude to us cause we refused to join as a paying member. But, watever, we're too thick skin to bother.

Seem to be excercising loads lately, on top of the dumbbells and sit-up bar I already have, Ah Yang gave me a Chinning Bar. Another great addition to my toys. Trying to make full use of it, but am finding that I'm way too heavy for my arms. Crap!!

My birthday was a few days ago. Kinda happy, cause loads of ppl wished me. Particularly appreciated the effort of those who sang the B'day song to me over the phone(they were in Terengganu). And of course thanks to the gang who hanged out with me on the eve of my B'day, Yuen's Buffet Steamboat's BBQ chicken wings are really nice. N I suck at pool/snooker.

Thanks to mum and dad for taking the family to a nice Japanese restaurant(Momo's Japanese Restaurant) for a Japanese buffet dinner. The food was good, and yeah I gained quite a few pounds after that. But who cares? Though some would differ....................

I guess, for once in a very long time I'm quite contented.

Piggu : The Name

Piggu is a species of pig, long thought to be extinct. But 2 years ago, I have stumbled upon the last and sole surviving member of this big butted species in Terengganu which had migrated there from the Klang Valley. It is a young adult female, believed to be about 22 years in age , approximately 163cm in total length and weighing at 55kg. I have spent the past 2 years observing and studying this rare species of pig making one last and final report before the species completely dies out.

As an introduction, in this post, I would first discuss the name of 'Piggu'. Most people, and very cheekily so, believed that the name 'Piggu' is merely a direct translation from the Mandarin words '屁股'(pronounced: pi gu) which meant buttocks referring to the 'Piggu's prominent rear. This may seem rather logical, but later research found that this is merely a joke spawned after the name 'Piggu' was already in common use.

Another popular believe of the origin of the name 'Piggu' is derived from the upper class of people, the rich and wealthy who often reared the 'Piggu' as pets as they were very much fun to play with as it was rather silly and clumsy but yet still always over confident. Constantly answering to taunts by the other pets such as the monkey, but always running away with its tail between its legs seeking for solace from it's owner as it looses its fight. It was believed that the daughters of such wealthy families often played with these pets, and often talked to the 'Piggu' to show affection. Always calling it 'pig, you! pig, you!' and thus the name 'Piggu'. This of course is rather absurd, but is widely accepted by the general female population.

After much research has been done, some light has been shed as to the origin of the name 'Piggu' and how the name was truly derived. This was made possible by the recovery of a logbook which was in an airtight container when it was found from the wreck of the British Warship St. Malou deep in the waters of the Straits of Malacca. The logbook was believed to be the logbook of the Captain of the Ship who's name could still not yet be identified. It was noted that when St. Malou had first arrived at Malaysia in the year 1787, a year after the first British Colony in Penang was established, the captain and his mates stumbled upon a whole family of this big butted pig while hunting for food. At that time, they knew it was a pig, but they couldn't help but notice it's extreme behinds. So, they asked the local guide/interpreter, who so happened was a Mandarin speaking Chinese (which was rather rare cause most Chinese of that region, which is now Klang Valley, spoke Cantonese) what was the name of that pig. The guide answered that it was also the first time that he came upon such a pig. After hearing that, and wanting to name the pig, they decided to name it after the name of the place. So they asked the guide for the name of the place which they were hunting at. At that time, the place had no actual name to speak of. So instead of giving a name, the guide simply answered that the place was a '谷'(pronounced: gu) simply meaning Valley. Unsatisfied with the answer given, they then just simply settled to call the pig 'Pig of Gu' Or 'Pig from Gu' before they could think up of a better name. After that, it is not clear whether or not a new name was given to the pig as the log ends here. But it is known that slowly through time and many mispronunciation of the name. The 'Pig of Gu' slowly lost the word 'of' and transformed into 'Pig Gu' and now 'Piggu'. Thus concluding that the actual meaning of the name 'Piggu' is, pig of the valley. So far, there hasn't been any findings to contradict this theory. So it has been accepted by us researchers as being true.

That is all for today, next up we will be talking bout the behaviour patterns of the 'Piggu'.

Food For Thought

Oh God my lord,                                                                              

If there indeed is a God,                                                            

Please save my soul,                                                                        

If I indeed have a soul to save.
