Real Horror Story!

Date: July 30
Time: 12.00am
Place: friend's house
People: 2 hosts (1 with us, 1 in his room); 1 unexpected guest; 1 regular guest; and me

Everyone was staring at screen, attentively watching the movie...light was off, room was dark...

suddenly, something fishy caught my attention! not the movie, not the screen. There's some dark shadow on the ceiling! surrounding the living room...and a sense of horror surged to my mind...is it ghostly ghost?

the black horrible object was flapping its wings, hovering the room and wait the chance to grab its preys!

With no further ado I asked my friends to look up (apparently they were too into the movie until never notice the danger) and I just ran out to escape! And I found myself nowhere to run as the black horrible creature are flying everywhere!

And I saw the door! The door of bathroom! Oh! rush in and bang! door closed! Phew...

Then my friends started to scream for help! And they had no place to hide but to stay...

The black creature (which then identified itself as batman) still hovering on the room and my friends were sitting on the chair motionless, clueless what to do...then me in the safe bathroom :) I saw febreeze so I sprayed Febreeze so that it smells nice.

Then my friends planned to move inside bedroom. They took the laptop, and all of sudden! Boom, all rushed to room and shut door! Oh not all, one rushed toward the door downstair and escaped from the haunted house!

Then the another host who was in his room wandering what's happening out there so he opened the door and when later IM with him, he told "then i opened door and saw it flew by"
He also mentioned "u all like gempa bumi"

As I was still in bathroom which I couldn't possible sleep in the bathroom which is not my bathroom so I opened the door and rushed down stair in just 1 second and escaped!

And for now I have no clue whether the unexpected guest staying in the host's room or they are planning to catch the batman or whatever...

what a scary moment haha. Actually it's not scary it's exciting.

When I'm hungry...

When I'm hungry, I eat.

Other than all the typical American foods [spaghetti burger ham fries steak] which can be really unhealthy and make you feel bad, I also eat [cereals apple banana carrot spinach] , which can be really healthy and make you feel good.

But in between bad and good food, there's something special. It's called exotic food. It's not exotic somewhere but it's exotic here.

First, it's chili.
Americans hate hot and spicy chili and they deny the existance of chili because their chili sauce is totally hot-less. And you see NO chili sauce in ALL (almost) restaurants because they have tomato ketchup and BBQ sauce only.
So where's the real chili sauce? It only exists in asian restaurants and the famous one is Sriracha 'rooster' chili sauce!

The hottest sauce :)
And they are really anti chili...even KFC has NO Hot & Spicy choice...

Then, it's roti canai
I miss roti canai so much until I buy this onion roti paratha from Jolin Tsai's Grocery shop.
roti paratha = roti prata = roti canai
Just pan fry it and a simple roti bawang is done :) at least it's not that expensive.
"Roti bawang + 1 teh tarik!" So mamak
Yeah, and this is the teh tarik...


Next, instant noodle
I rarely eat instant noodle here because those 20cents Nissin ramen is just like Maggi mee, the more I eat, the worse it tastes. But there's one instant noodle that I love: Nong Shum Shin Ramyum

hot and spicy Korean noodle...but it costs 89cents...oh never mind, satisfaction is more important

Last and not least
bun or pau. char siew pau, kaya pau, whatever pau, there's no people selling steamed fresh pau here but there's frozen pau here.

tried so many yet none is good...

oh there's much more exotic foods I want!!! but I'm in an exotic land...

last and very last...and the best
3in1 Aik Cheong Coffee, available $5.79 @ China market

the aroma of home...
the coffee that I smell everytime I going back home...
the coffee that made just 2km off my home...
the coffee of my cup...

A day in AA

Date: July 19.

Wake up not very early in the morning. brush and wash and shower and eat.
Want to online but the stupid Wifi has no signal again...

[10:50am]I have to post a mail so I go to United States Postal Service office but to find out they have removed the stamp machine! The counter is closed and there's no stamp machine, a great service. Then I walk 15mins to Michigan Union to buy the stamp. But again, the stamp machine is removed!!! Coincident? Who steals the stamp machine? Now I have an envelope that can t be mailed.

[11:30am] Then go meet with MC because we are going to Jolin Tsai's grocery to buy some stuffs. Never been there before so just go see what it offers. Since Ann Arbor Art Fairs is blocking all the streets there's a detour of bus route. So we wait at a bus stop thinking it's the right bus stop but just to see the #16 bus turn other way right in front of us! Oh it's raining also...and then another bus come and it's raining so we just board the bus but I don't know why we board it but the rain seduces us to board the bus and then we tour from Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti and back to Ann Arbor...a long journey...
And I see White Castle! There's actually White Castle in Ann Arbor!


[1:12pm] back at Ann Arbor Transit Center and the next #16 bus is 1:48pm so we walk around AA Art Fairs and MC suddenly sees a USPS big post office hidden behind the art booths! Oh this big post office also has no stamp machine!! Haha but it has "Stamp ATM" Finally I can dispose my big envelope.

[1:35pm] Waiting for bus. [1:48pm] Board the bus yay!

[2:10pm] See Tsai but to find actually it got not many stuffs but at least it's the tidiest & cleanest asian market.
[3:00pm] Since Jolin Tsai actually got nothing much we go to Meijer which is just opposite.
[4:00pm] Shopping done

[4:30pm] Back to home! Still no Wifi...go sleep la

[6:00pm] Go to KsSw's house to cook dinner. MC says all guys friends cooking is weird. Oh is it?
[7:20pm] Dinner

[8:00pm] Weekend Movie Time! The Pianist 2 hours 30 mins + Saving Private Ryan 2 hours 49 mins both are really best movies.

Then the end of day!
The end of a day is the start of another day :)

M&M or chocolate chips?

Research Paper

M&M cookies and Chocolate Chips cookies
Phd candidate: waikhong
Concentration: Cookies Study
University of Michigan

Today I observed one very significant phenomenon. United States high school students prefer M&M cookies than chocolate chip cookies.

Detailed finding:
Today I'm working in UofM dining hall while doing research on high school students' preference of cookies.

Methodology:
I put 2 types of cookies on table. I wait the target (now dining hall serving high school students from summer camps) to grab the cookies. Then I see which cookies finish first.

Fixed variable: Number of cookies. Both same. But quantity unknown. Roughly same la

Finding:
M&M cookies grabbing rate is twice faster than chocolate chips cookies.

Conclusion:

Oh exam!

If you don't know, I'm a lazy person who always wasting time with my beloved laptop and never bother about academic stuffs until the very last minute. After high school I never do any extra exercises/ practices other than the required/credited assignments. And whatever exams, I never study 2 days ahead. So far, I never be the top student, but luckily not the bottom also :)

Oh exam...last Wednesday I just had another Econ 101 test but then something weird happened. Right from the beginning, I was shivering and trembling when writing down my answers. Was I fear? No, exam is just exam... Was I nervous? It's just a small test... weird I felt cold during the exam and tried to calm down. But it didn't work, my hand was trembling and my mind wasn't concentrated. Then worse, the substitute GSI (Graduate student instructor) allocated less than 40 minutes for a supposedly 45 minutes test.

It was a mixed weird feeling...I couldn't concentrate, my hand didn't write as fast as I wanted, and time was tickling away...and time's up!! "No more writing!" Oh No! I couldn't finished the paper and simply wrote something in the blank space...and then said bye bye to my test paper...

Oh wonder why but anyway don't care lah, maybe I'm allergic to the GSI, and I won't see him next time :)

All the best in next exam!

I eat apple, you eat apple, we eat apple

Apple: the most common fruit.

Even if you don't eat apple you still know how an apple looks like because we all know A for Apple B for Apple C for Apple...

Such an adorable appetizing edible apple...

When I'm short, I only know there's red apple and green apple; then when taller, I know there's big red apple, small red apple, not so red red apple,, very red red apple; when I'm tallest, I know they have different tastes and different names.

Green apple is always my favorite because of its sour sensational taste~~~Its name is Granny Smith, a nice name.

This is Gala apple, the most common apple in Malaysia. Good taste.

This is the apple that I don't like to eat. Although it has a nice name Red Delicious, it's just plain sweet and not crispy and just not nice...the last time I had this was when I was short.

And this is the big big Fuji apple. It's big and sweet :) quite nice

A nice sweet crispy apple that I recently tasted. Unlike Red delicious that is not delicious, this Golden delicious is much more better.

Finally, another favorite of mine! McIntosh. It's the most delicious red apple!

Eat more apple :)
I'm tall because I eat apple

It's a bird....It's a plane....It's a Superman!!!

Hehe no need to waste money to go Kuala Selangor next time...call me and I'll give you a discounted rate for an 1 hour trip. Terms & conditions: don't blame me if you can't see any because they hate you.

Don't believe me? Really, there's firefly in Ann Arbor, not superman!

I managed to get a photo of a firefly

Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, there's a boy. His name is Johnny English. One day, he wakes up in the morning and see a mouse cooking in his house! Not everyone can cook!

He was so surprised he uses a durian and hit the mouse. The mouse then follows the Pied Piper of Hamelin and falls into a longkang...

Then Johnny suddenly sleepy again...
so he go back to bed to discover his bed is occupied by Little Red Riding Hood's grandma!?
=.=

So he has no choice but to listen to his iPod and eat a pod of peas

Suddenly he realizes he has to get to work!
Johnny hates to work but he has to work so he can eat Putu Mayam.

Then he rides the Aladdin magic carpet and arrives at Donald Trump's Tower.
He was the winner of 100th season Apprentice. He is supposed to be the 1st winner of American Idol but he loves Kelly Clarkson so much he gives up in the grand final. Give up is the right attitude. Correct correct correct...

Every time at work, he knocks his head at the table. Everyone thinks he is a small incredible hulk because his head never broken! Sometimes he just click to fast forward his time and sometimes he takes out his Teddy bear not Pooh to play. He thinks Pooh is dumb but Teddy is steady.

Finally it's 4:59pm
Now it's his happy hours! he's going to search for his beauty (he's the beast). After 1000 years of searching he hasn't found any...Snow White is too white, Rapunzel's hair is too long, Cinderella is too Cinderella, Mary is married, Angelina Jolie is too sexy...

And today he meets Kung Fu Panda Po who then introduces him to Master Oogway who says: there are no accidents. You cannot get a loved one because you are not smart, better Get Smart.
he pauses a while, continue: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. and then he intoduces the Love Guru to Johnny...

And the guru introduces Jessica Alba to Johnny but in the end Johnny was so sad Jessica Alba is already pregnant

So he turns crazy and finally become Mr Bean ...

After all, he goes to sleep and forget everything....
