 I love teaching when students love learning :)

These photos are real, no posing.

Some little lighting lightens the room

I've added a table light to my room. Now it's warm and nice :)

And since we must Instagram every photo nowadays so I make some random effect on the photo as well.

*p/s: if you think this photo quite dark and underexposed, it's your eyes problem, go find doctor check check. Another possibility is your computer screen is very very dusty, yeah, just wipe and you see this photo bright like sunlight.

What made me post "I wish I'm back in USA again"?

Rihanna and her dress.

*Rihanna, please don't sue me for editing the photo. I have no money.
*Arizona, please send me one year supply of assorted flavored tea as I dedicated two posts for you. If I have more viewers I would have ask for life time supply. I'm being rational here. Thanks

I wish I'm back in USA again

Sometimes.

I love Malaysia. I love Melaka. But sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I'm back in USA, or Ann Arbor to be specific, because there are some great things there. Foods!

Yeah yeah I know people call Malaysia as food paradise but in the U S and A there are many awesome foods not available here.

One. Arizona Tea.

Cheap 99cents drinks. Best for drinking while doing exam revisions. Many flovors but the the Green Tea with Honey and Ginseng still the best! 

How I usually consume Arizona Green Tea? I decide the house is not suitable to study, so I walk to Dude or Shapiro Library, buy a drink, then read a bit, drink a lot, read a little bit more, then drink again. Repeat process seven times. Then the drink finished. Stomach very full. Cannot study anymore. Then pack up and go back home. So in the end I can never done revision and I have full stomach.

Two. Jimmy John's

$4.50 subs. Best is Totally Tuna :) Full flavored creamy tuna with crunchy cucumber and lettuce, juicy tomato and the best thing ever alfalfa sprouts wrapped in the best tasting bread! Omnomnomnom. Subway has no chance beating this! Maybe this is the best food ever created. 

Good for lunch, good for dinner, good for breakfast, good for supper, good for anytime, even in dream it tastes good. 

Three. Angelo's 

Angelo's in Ann Arbor is the favorite weekend brunch place :)

Simply amazing waking up in the morning taking bus then taking a stroll with friends to enjoy the hearty breakfast. Good food great atmosphere.

Four. McDonald's. Yes McDonald's. You read this correctly, McDonald's.

Yes. McDonald's. And I'm lovin' it.

Why?

Because they have iced coffee, vanilla or hazelnut flavored, and it's good coffee, and it's just $2.69

So instead of Coke I'll have iced coffee every time. And in the States they have dollar menu so I can have chicken burger or beef burger or TWO apple pies for $1.00! Imagine I can get all for just $5.69. One iced coffee, one chicken burger, one beef burger plus two apple pies. What I can get for RM5.69 back here in Malaysia? hmm, nothing much.

So look at what you can get for $5.69 in McDonald's

So many good foods. So many other great foods actually. Now I wish I'm back to Ann Arbor, not sometimes, but most of the times. 

lalala...I'm hungry.

Blackout!

This is a beautiful  glass candle. A present from student to my house mate teacher during Teacher's Day.

I received only cups and glasses without candle, so cannot use during blackout. 

What to do during blackout?

No internet, so dark, cannot do school works, so...

creepy me taking a creepy photo

rather uncreative :)

yeah, blackout is boring 

so slept rather early.

Don't throw rubbish from your car

One thing I cannot tahan the most is people throwing rubbish from the car.

Hello, please, so if I see you throw rubbish I will post your car here.

 MCC 6256 

 JGN 749

 Too fast, couldn't get clear picture

 JLV 4981

JKU 6421

And there are many more of these rubbish people that I missed capturing, because:

1. It is dangerous to take photo at high speed.

2. The phone is in my pocket, unreachable while driving

3. My sister missed one

So next time you see these cars around, just find any rubbish at roadside (You will definitely find rubbish because Malaysians like to throw rubbish everywhere one) and then throw inside these cars. Thank you very much.

Title is Irrelavant

I promise myself to be hardworking.

Has been slacking too much lately so posting this just to make my promise concrete, rather than just saying to myself but no action.

Yay, by posting this, my motivation to be hardworking is back. It's miracle.

New life, I'm back

I am back. Why? I have no idea, just like I have no idea why I'm teaching now. We don't need reason for everything :)

It was fun while it lasts

Ah...I have been neglecting this blog for so long and finally I have decided to stop blogging, maybe for a while, maybe forever.

The reasons?

First and foremost, IMHO, blogging is out dated! Seriously, this is 2010! Blogging is so 2009.

Second, Facebook is the King of all Updates. Twitter too.

Third, climate change. It's proven to stop people from updating blogs.

Forth, I'm now starting to express my thoughts through silly videos. So check out my facebook videos.

Fifth, I'm just lazy. Maybe this is the most important reason.

Ok. Good bye. Thanks for reading.
By the way I still checking on people's blogs.

I'll be back when I'll be back.

Disneyworld

For some reasons I never like the idea of visiting Disney park...but somehow magically I went to Disney World in Florida this holiday.

It was fun, beyond my expectations. Period.

Finally Holiday

After 3/2 year, 3 full semesters, 3 short semesters, 3 C+ grades, finally I can have a almost 3 months long holiday!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to go home.

Mission One Accomplished

Trying to search for image to complement this post but Google shows me Bush's accomplishment so here's it

____________________________________________________________________

-So how's your mission?
-completed!

-that's great. How you feel?
-ok

-I will offer you another mission tomorrow. Ok
-Ok but have Kit Kat first.

-No Kit Kat
-Never mind

-So go read your mission details. There are 398 pages total.
-What? 1 day enough to read? how if I cannot remember all details? Then the cat will suffer.

-Don't worry, you can bring 1 letter size paper when carrying out the mission.
-Really?

-And a calculator too
-Great! But I have Casio, I hate TI calculators.

-no problem, Casio has camera too
-I have Canon, but both are C, just I hope not to get a C for the mission

-Hahahahaha....that is not funny. What are you doing now? Go read the mission briefing! Don't waste time! Later the dog will suffer!
-Ok Ok. But let me sleep first, or else my brain will suffer. Today's mission almost shrink my brain 0.00001%.

Cili Padi kills

Cili padi is very powerful!
Don't ever cut it with a knife!

Huh?

Everyone attended Econ102 discussion session today.
Everyone was waiting in the classroom.

Now 1 person was missing...
He's the most important person who should look at us and we all look at him.
He's the GSI(graduate student instructor)

Then after 30minutes he was still missing.
So the class decided to leave the classroom.

And then I received an email from somebody; so it reads...

"I heard that your GSI didn't show up for class today."

So I thought who was that? hmm...
so continue to read...

"I heard that your GSI didn't show up for class today. That was me. I'm ... ..."

I'm speechless...
It turned out today has no discussion but we are not informed...

Trip to Ames Iowa

This winter break has 3 weeks long.
No idea where else to visit so visited Ames, Iowa.
Ames is a small city that has some people and a university by the name Iowa State University.

Part 1: Greyhound patah kaki
patah kaki means leg broken. explanation follows.
Greyhound is a bus company serving USA Canada Mexico and some say Alaska but actually no Alaska service.

So on Dec 23. At Ann Arbor eagerly waiting for bus; it finally arrived after 2 hours late.
The road was so icy many cars skidded off the highway. So the bus driver drove slowly and I thought we can arrive Chicago safely. But suddenly at somewhere the bus tire hit something and blurrrrp blurrrp blurrrp...tire puncture.
Oh very good, after 128th time I as a bus passenger finally I encountered this situation.
So we waited 1+ hour for next bus.

Then Finally arrived at Chicago at 1:30 am for transfer. As expected, I missed my scheduled bus so was told to wait for next available bus at 6:30am. Couldn't sleep and all TVs were showing boring Weather Channel.

Then 6:30am in line almost got into bus then told that not allowed to take the bus!? tried to talk to different customer service people also to no avail and the one told me to board the 6:30am bus already off duty...ok lo, now had to wait for the 11:45am bus. Wait again.

At 11:45am, bus still not arrived. Then at 12:01pm bus arrived but the driver just took his time and finally bus left at 12:45pm. After so many times riding Greyhound, I can say their service is totally unsatisfied.

and I saw something: a christmas tree grows on building and beautiful farmland covered by snow.

And then arrived at Des Moines, Iowa for another transfer and finally arrived at Ames at 1:30am November 25, Christmas day.

Scheduled time was leaving at 3:45pm Dec 23 arrive at 6:10am Dec 24.

Part 2: Visiting Frozen River
At Ames was staying at King Hong's place. 1st day met with Sheng kai and visited a park and stepped on a frozen river. And we were not alone in the park! don't know what other 4 people do in the park on Christmas day?! Then had dinner together and enjoyed movie in cinema setting.
Then visited Sheng Kai's Kumdo's friends and I won a Monopoly game.

Then 2nd day took a short walk in ISU and went to Walmart to buy stuffs to cookfor dinner and then and then...the curry chicken is done.

Oh saw some horses on the first day.

3rd day went to a Grand mall and also did some shopping and then and then...porridge was done.

And 3rd day was the last day to stay and finally bid goodbye at 6:00pm

Part 3: To Ann Arbor
At least the journey back was hassle-free and lucky enough to come home ealier than expected :)
As usual a litle bit late here and there, but once I arrived at Chicago at 7:30am, there was a bus to Ann Arbor which was late for its schedule. I just pop into the bus and once I sit down, the bus left in no time. Surprising. And I gained 3 hours advance.

And the great journey ended with a BK Joe Hot coffee...hmm

so how's Ames? It's basically a smaller Ann Arbor, with horse minus Diag.

Good Morning

Pour some milk into the cup. Not half full or half empty, but 3/4 full or 1/4 empty.

Honey Bunches of Oats Cereals jumping into the milk...now is it full? not yet, it's only 9/10 full or 1/10 empty.

After 6.5 minutes, my breakfast is in my body...now is the cup empty? not yet, it's 0.1/10 full or 9.9/10 empty. Some milk leftover in the cup.

Everyone uses cup to have cereals with milk? no, only 2/10 people do that, 8/10 serve using bowl.

Good day.

Please bring this if you study abroad

You can forget to bring maggi mee...
You can forget to bring clothes...
You can forget to bring passport...

But you can't forget to bring this....
This is the made in Malaysia Buncho 2B pencil lead!







It is the best for your mechanical pencil.

No other pencil lead can surpass its superiority...it's dark, smooth and perfect for writing and drawing.

And it makes me feel better in exams using this.

So please pack some in baggage when you study abroad, unless you hate using mechanical pencil for no reason.

Impatients balsamina

Reading my Lab Manual and wondering what is this Impatients thingy... what's the plant??? So I'm impatient and do a quick research on Wikipedia.

Wah! I'm so excited to know this is my most loved plant during my childhood years!!!

Oh it was so fun to throw the ripen fruits (which that time I thought as seeds) and they will pop open and burst out all the tiny seeds inside! very fun. Just like this stuff

Once upon a time it was so abundant at my house's backyard and I don't know why now I feel very happy to think of the plant. Sweet memories.

Now think of the plant make me think of the big old white cat...
Not this one...this is 1 of her many kittens...most of her kittens don't know how either died or disappeared to nowhere...and this is one of her longest surviving ones.

Hope she'll still be there when I go back...she was so small and cute when I was small and cute and now she's big and old and I'm big but not old.

Oh and the flowers are red, pink, purple, or white and I love most is hybrid of pink and white because it was rare.

The plants grow so fast especially after rain and they live and die and more plants will just pop out anywhere and grow and grow...and die....and new plants!

Oh Impatients balsamina...I'm remember this name forever.
