Coffee?? Not healthy la...high in caffein...no vitamins watsover. To banish such thoughts from the minds of health conscious consumers...we have breakfast coffee!!
Normal coffee:: Sugar, non-dairy creamer (same as above), sodium caseinate, permittedstabiliser, emulsifier and instant coffee.
Dun ask me bout the price difference cos like ur ordinary teenager, im price insensitive when it comes to such things. i dun realli care.
Wat vitamins are contained inside ur breakfast coffee?? Protein, vit C, Vit B1 and B2, Niacin, VitB12, Ca, Mg...
Why like Milo like dat one?? So un-coffee like...
The truth is it doesnt taste too cofee-ish to me...not much coffee also la...not as nice as our regular cuppa...my mum adds in extracoffee into her cup while i go with the regular...
My advice:: Stick to ur regular people!! Dunno wat sh%t they put inside those breakfst coffee wei... If there's not much of any coffee taste in tht cuppa where is the contentment eh??
Health freaks can stick to their oatmeal and milk.
[(this is merely the opinion of a no-brainer, do not take this tooseriously)]
Desperately dried up wei my brain...sampaikan must do coffee review...sad case man...but wt to do...my head's quite a mess now...blek blek
A memorable event to remember, yes ? A moment shared with our dearest of friends. After all, what is the purpose of going to a ball when there are no friends to spend time with.
I have to apologize to everyone for being so busy during the ball, most of the time I was off photo-shooting. I deeply apologize to Calvin for leaving him alone on the MONGA table. Never had I imagined that the night would be filled with endless performances that requires my attention all the time.
To compensate for my little time spent together with the gang. I am both happy and willing to share my pictures with all of you. (Yes, you’ll also receive the full set of pictures via CD)
Starting with our gang, here’s a pic,
See our smiles :) :)
Hmm, I guess we’re so exited that day that we’re beginning to lose it…..
I wonder if the girls ever get cold wearing so little clothes……. Puzzling… puzzling
There is something else more puzzling:
Hmm…. I wonder what they are trying to promote that night ? Interesting to find out how many were left in the bowl at the end of the ball…..
When I was off photo-shooting, most of the time I had to remain in crouching stance so that I don’t end up blocking the view of people sitting behind me. Pretty tiring though, my legs hurt after a while, but it was worth while as I managed to get quite a number of good photographic shots.
Allow me to give 3 examples.
Alright, I guess I’d better stop here….. or I’ll end up displacing Cal’s hard typed post by a mile !!
All balls have the same common problems. This would of course involve initial planning such as transportation issues. Then, there is the difficulty of getting everyone in the group to be prepared early on time. Yes, not everyone was as efficient as it seems, Ben n me were sorta late due to (Not mentioning here, only the A.B.C combo gang would know), but that didn’t match the time Calie took, so we definitely won’t feel that guilty. Hey, not bad edi k, I only had 10 mins to bathe and get dressed up for the ball. Indeed in order to do so I made a huge mess just to find the attire I already planned to wear. Funny thing was me n Ben even had time to shop for comics despite the rush.
The Arrival
Yep, everyone was already at the front of the foyer, all almost dead cause of Malaysia’s heat, not many people can maintain calm and be less effected by heat like me. After Calie finally made her majestic appearance, we didn’t see any much of a complex style worth the time we waited. Based on the crowd’s opinion, SY’s hair was more admirable. TY which is normally late was there early cuz he followed SY which already got there around 4.10 (The time she called me, me n Ben were in the taxi on the way back to change then). I dunno how to compare the guys lar, shud ask Alvin for this part cuz he will observe guys more. His observation got skill wan, u wont notice him staring and analyzing you, nor catch him observing someone until he starts making comments and then you would know. Soon as the group was on the move, I grabbed Alvin, cuz we needed sum1 to pay the toll.
Assaulting the Palace
We went in 4 separate Hum-Vee’s, the driver’s were SY, Ben, TY and Daniel. All of them are crazy drivers. Ben says Dan’s driving will one day turn him from Shadow Wolf to Spirit Wolf ;), Ben normally drives safely but with me and Alvin the world takes a dangerous turn. SY smartly chose all the girls that behaved well so she can concentrate on driving. Calie was seen continuously making faces at our trailing car as me and Alvin disturbed then via spamming. Alvin got corrupted by me ledi, he even spammed more than me. TY’s driving spooked his friend, the death chariot indeed. Personally, I can’t wait to experience TY’s driving cuz I like roller coaster rides.
Closing In on The Horses
We arrived there as early around 6 plus because there was no traffic jam unlike our expectations. The event was supposed to begin around 7.00 p.m. but the hall was still brimming with empty space around each corner. CW was already there since she’s handling the ticketing for the ball along with C2. CW was clad in smooth golden attire while C2 wore wavy vengeance red. Alvin commented on CW but I think only me and Ben were around to listen that time. Dan and the rest arrived not long after. Around 7 plus, there was almost nowhere to stand but alls cool and our group was still happily taking photos to keep entertained.
Entering the Hall Room
It was nearing 8 and guests were finally allowed to enter. However, most of the tables were still empty with missing hosts. Again, much chatting at the round table. Monga table was empty as well. Around 8 plus, tables began to fill and the event started off with a range of cool synchs to show off the committee’s well invested sound system. I would skip the timelined events as I have no interest to cover that section. You know what you saw and that’s it. CA covers internal prospects and hidden agenda’s alone. As expected I didn’t really like sitting with the Monga bunch as I weren’t interested in getting too close with that bunch, so I planned a table jump after the chicken was served. However, time took a slow depressional turn as TY takes almost forever taking pics near the stage for me to keep my social bar at green (refer to sims). Even if he did return, it was just momentarily enough for him to quickly gobble up a few slice or two of his dish before speeding off again. One serving before the chicken came, CW insisted I switched tables already. Really thankful for that cuz some of the Monga peeps were looking at me weirdly as though why am I so quiet, and one of them communication students went up to me for a lil chat, I showed no interest and really ended up like a shy guy cuz it was impossible for me to just shoo her off instantly. I turned my head towards the place and things were getting really awkward so yea, CW really helped in getting me over to the fun table!! Why fun? Cuz it was most probly the only table that reached an extended patron of 13 people. Even TY’s friend moved over, so that means everyone that was with us on the journey there ended up sitting on the same table, except for Jinny. There were few moments whereby CW got annoyed by Alvin, Ben, and YK for laughing I think. Too far away that time (I was smiling at the incident as well), but since I normally smile dun think she’ll blame me much.
Internal events (Not in order, nor clearly defined)
- Alvin still smoked no matter how formal his image was - Alvin sang along with CW during one of the performances, didn’t really bother, since Calie was also singing softly and was much nearer I couldn’t decide whether the Alvin + CW duet was a bad combo. - CW and Elaine went missing together a lot. Networking around probly. - Penny gave us the biggest surprise as her hairdo was something different than expected, it was…err…folded up high. Looks nice altogether, stunning indeed. Equal amount of compliment to all of the girls I would say. - Dan was entertaining TY’s friend after she moved over since TY wasn’t around. Mostly, only Calie and Dan engaged in long conversations with her. See, I don’t even know her name yet. - I managed to collect more treasure shots. Had to personally request them or else the event would go to waste. I was missing CIMP theme days so this would have to compensate. - SY should be cast away from food each until each performance ends because she can really grasp the hidden humour in most of em. Leech should have been there. - There was this one time CW took ZZ out for sumthin I was not sure of, since I wasn’t paying attention. But I headed out the hall same time they did for a quick relief. They were taking pics here n there, yea the ball has many good memories to capture, I would have gone picture frenzy as well if I took my camera along. I tagged along CW and ZZ a bit for some teasing fun and then headed back in to catch up with the gang. - TY was the last to move to our table. Actually there was no space for a 13th person on one table, but its just not fair to leave him on Monga table oso (yaya I was getting guilty for changing table), so I requested Alvin, ZZ and YK to cram more closer to CW and C2’s seat, so wallah!! History is made. - (To be added in future if I remember anything else)
Following the Ball's theme
We escaped the Royal escapade near its ending ;) for a short while of mamak fun. Our planned escape had a certain glitch since Jinny needed to follow SY and we left midway without her. The group sought refuge at a Petronas kiosk station. Dan drove so fast he nearly went pass the station, Ben had to made a U-turn to redirect TY in case I couldn’t contact him in time, haha so much fun. Much later we regrouped as planned.
I didn’t wanna be out too late so I left around 1 with Ben. Poor fella suddenly got sick around mamak time, no wonder he ordered mineral water earlier then, I was already suspecting something. We shud stray away from that Curry House place actually, each time sure will have one order wrong or late food arrival wan.
Conclusion
A memorable time indeed, at least Monash doesn’t seem so dull now, a good way to forget the packed assignments during the holidays.
The long awaited stress week is here. SO its do or die time, if the the holiday is spent with much enjoyment be prepared to retake another semester. If the holiday is spent with total assignment pressure, be prepared for an emotional breakdown. What choices do you have to avoid such cruel fate?
The answer is simple!! This is the time to ultilize your networking efforts for the past few months. Your friends are your resources, their work is your sanctuary. Peer to peer reference puts a much more holy meaning behind the sinful term Monash calls "Plagiarism". In this new revelation we support all those affected by this sentence. By now, most of you would have similiar experiences of being taunted to use more of your own words or being put to shame for not placing much effort to finish assigned tasks. Do not fear, what you have done is an artistic move called "Creative writing", as humans we bear the brilliance to live the life of our dreams and exception to be bound to the chains of law. Remember this dear mortals, the scales of justice is in your hands.
Now aint this a good way to start off the holiday week ;)
Hi all this is my first post on SIN from my now not so new internet connection, Yay! Today's subject is the ridiculous ENG1020 bridge building project (The first bit of the title shouldn't be a mystery to those of you who take the unit ;) )
Anyhoo, the project statement asks us to build a to scaled to life bridge model, which in itself is not a bad idea, why build a bridge that has no relevance to real structures anyhow? Except that this entire bridge must be made of your absolutely regular newspaper paper, including cables, its easy for the lecturer to rant on about how we shouldn't be complaining about size constraints since the bridge is to scale, I'd like to ask him to make a real life bridge out of this stuff, guy should realise that dimensions aren't everything, the stuff you make it out of matters too, we might as well have been making houses of candyfloss if that were the case, (yum!).
But all those problems turn out to be just obstacles, the build is actually buildable after all, (or atleast we hope it is, since we haven't tested our model yet), what is insanely annoying is how the lecturer goes around changing specifications and constraints, AARRGGHHH!! It really sucked for a lot of people last Friday when they found out about that there was a limit on the number of towers used on the bridge (something else he forgot to mention), some of the people had to build the whole damn thing again. I always knew there was some advantage to my leaving stuff off till the last minute, muahahahhahahah, my tardiness was actually the reason why our bridge hadn't been constructed on the day before we found out about the latest 'condition' in our bridge design, so take that! Jeremy and Foong. Worst of all, most people don't know this one yet I think, (Tseng Yang will probably be ripping out his already frugal hair over this one), our old constraint on having to use ABSOLUTELY regular newspaper has apparently been lifted, when some of the guys started using this higher quality paper, went and asked the lecturer if it was ok, and he said it was!! I'd asked him the exact same thing over a week back, and he said we couldn't do it.
Anyhow, without further bitching, I invite you all to a very special, prelaunch look at our somewhat ugly (Not winning the aesthetic points this one), but hopefully stable bridge . . .
All in all i think we did an okay job...not good not great...but it will have to do...tho shudnt have pasted d other smaller cardboard...eee...regret regret...
Greetings all!! Our dear CW would be too busy doin law assigns to cover today’s event so I’ll just do a less skilled event coverage report.
Today was SY’s and Jord’s Bday!!! A glorious day indeed for these two aging couples. Somehow, as though connected by psychic influence, both of them wore red for today’s celebration. The hard part was to make it least noticeable that we were planning something for once…..as you can see….most of our plannings especially TY’s Bday had too much hints and spoilers that something was goin on….and all the victim had to do was act stupid as though nothing was goin on.
My first step was to not spam the couple after midnight struck as I would normally do to announce that the smiley one remembers their very existence on planet earth. I didn’t even hint out that I remembered what Tuesday was gonna be so there were few times I told SY and Jord “Haihz….tomorrows just another miserable day for us marketing peeps..to just rush for tutorial work” Surprisingly neither Jord or SY tried giving hints to remind us that it was their bday today. Sorree ler I prefer to ensure my artwork plans to go unnoticed this time, I didn’t even specify the project’s status as I was doing it on sat and sun. BTW the two pictures are the results of Project Methuss and Messala. TY’s one was Project Requiem……..more interesting If I codenamed my work haha.
Anyways, most of the contribution came from YK and Penny. Getting everyone together was hard and some of the mistakes I indeed forgot was that Leech was supposed to tag along as well when we first headed to Medan. Frankly……I didn’t notice Leech was at the foyer as well and the confusion was mainly due to the chaos of first realizing that SY wasn’t even at uni yet so I asked Alvin to drag her to eat with us quickly and then Jord almost didn’t join us at all cuz he wanted to join his other group of friends for lunch.
About the gift…we initially had wanted to get a toy car for Jord but sumhow I felt someone else was already gonna do so nways and If we got sumthin for Jord, we wont know what to give SY at such short notice on Sunday night.
Other weird things was…TY got a call from an unknown caller during the celebration and mistaking the caller as CW, directed the caller to Medan….turns out later that it wasn’t CW nor anyone else we can guess………so did we accidentally invite paranormal beings among us? We might never know…
Thanks to TY’s 1 hour dedication of skipping his dunno what meeting which I suppose is educationally related, we managed to snap nice photos as usual. Every event is not complete without a photographer. This time, things turned out better…….it can be learnt that its easier to get the cake 1 day earlier from the actual event than to do it last moment style as BEN would normally consider……way to go PENN PENN!!
Overall, yea we sure hit them by a mileage of surprise. Even printing the wallpapers was hard since Jord’s normally around when I’m in com labs. Actually he noticed me printing the file EVO7 which I regret naming it that way in one of the subfolders I didn’t close. Jord: “Eh, Calvin…Evo car picture ar? Lemme see!!” I just told him “No la…its not an EVO7 car, you know lar, I have no interest in cars so my type of EVO7 files are not the EVO7 cars you think……Its an Evolution Wallpaper I want printed”
One more failure………we didn’t manage to get them to pick up the candles without using any hands….
Posting just to displace stupid ty's post...hehe...
I know i know...ntg better to do isit?? hahaha....

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph.
Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says:
"You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."
The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor, it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."
The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."
