i guess some of u in IMU might know bout the Doulos ship from the posters...from those who aren't so observant...its a ship....with books....and ppl...working together to serve God. in Malaysia...its mainly the bookfair that attracts ppl to that old ship...(since 1914!!! surely its God who kept that thing floating...)in other places..ppl there help build schools, churches...etc...and provide the needs of the ppl there.. everyone from capten to cashiers are volunteers..really inspiring..altogether...volunteers from more than 30 countries all gotta work together...overcoming barriers...all for the good of others....

went with some of my churchmates...(sorry Darren cant attend ur bday..cos im in charge of the thingy..) and just reached there on sat night 8 pm..
inside is packed with ppl...hot like oven..and its stuffy like a closed oven!! But some books there are really cheap...the bible im holding is only RM8...after like 40 sweaty minutes..we just gotta bail out...


of cos..a night out in Klang is not complete without tasting Klang seafood....and one of the best place is 椰花园 in Teluk Gong... ordered every seafood there is...and it only comes up to less than RM 20 per person...a really satisfying ending to a good night out....

Its a blessing again to be there to teach the kids violin...and even a greater blessing to have Brian and Vickie along to handle the kids with me.... from teaching 7 kids alone...(which is crazy and voice loosing...) now we can focus on a few kids....and with more ppl...there's nothing but IMPROVEMENTS!! now the stars are really twinkling....(last week twinkle twinkle was making my hair stand on ends...) and hopefully next week can be even better...and even add a few more songs...for the rest of the kids...i found out that Pringles can put a smile on them.....many thanks also to Kent for teaching the guitar....its true that onli an expert can produce another expert....

IMU is gonna bring them over on 4/9...so hopefully they can be good enaf to give a performance that day...

p.s..vickie...we've still yet to hear the maestro at work.....and were still waiting..

the invention of the pepper spray is like the dynamite...at 1st..Nobel invented it to blast mountains...do mining...later ppl use it for war to kill ppl and destroy buildings.... now..history just repeated itself..with the PEPPER SPRAY..supposedly...gals should hold it ready when going to their car....then if suspicious ppl come too near..u give them the feeling of FIRE in their FACE..

but now...crooks are using it also!!..spray their victim and snatch the handbags..best of all...the victim is too burned out, distressed and confused to look at their attacker...and it wont kill them..just paralyse them for a few minutes...WHAT A TOOL!!...its like the rape drug where who kena will forget bout everything the next morning...then..instead of assasinating ppl u dun like...y not give them a spray?? and thats what our former PM got in Kelantan...wow...


So let me give u some more suggestions..

1. during orientation...who failed the task will kena a shot....(sem 1 watch out in August..)
2. dun like someone??spray their food when they're not watching...
3. try spraying a seat...im sure who sits there will get their ass on fire...haha
4. dun like a whole crowd of ppl?? spray from the top ....let them have a pepper rain....

the former title is just part of the program...but the latter is the real reason y we are all hyped up today..Cos its FOOD FEST! we supposed to calculate the calories and stuff..bla bla...but in the end..it all boils down to the AWESOME FOODS on the table..the main course...Dr Vishna's orange and chocolate cake recipe!! my group got the orange cake baking task....so heres how its done..

1st..these are the tools and ingredients u need..


mix up the 350g butter and 12 0z sugar...under the supervision of Dr Vishna again...

y use hand when u got the technology???

add in the 6 eggs one at a time....

add in the orange flavor....

sieve in the flour...mix somemore.....
depending on the size of the cake..(ours is the largest out there...) bake it at 180 for 1 hour....and u get THE MOST AWESOME ORANGE CAKE out there...crispy at the outside...moist in the inside...yummm...that is wat i call a freshly baked cake... straight from the oven into your mouth..

not forgetting all the tuna and egg sandwiches and pita.. i think tonight no need dinner oledi....
in the end.. a big party for everyone...

special mention must be given to Anita..1st of all shes not in the biochem selective...and shes holding 2 sandwiches in her right hand, 1 in her left, and cakes in her mouth!!

as part of the food and nutrition selective..we get to visit Gardenia bread factory in Shah Alam today... too bad for those taking patho or BS... im sure they're having a good time learning bout stem cells and EQs...haha....and this trip is certainly NOT just for school or kindergarten kids... everyone learned lots today....

the 1st thing that greeted us there is the wonderful aroma of fresh bread... my goodness..bread never smell so nice at home.. Gardenia makes 30000 loaves of bread in 1 hour in 4 factories!!! thats 800000000 loaves a year.... and that means a lot of money!!!! wonder y i didn take food tech at 1st....

too bad we cant take pics inside the production site...theres just soo much to tell...
a warm welcome...on the left is US grain used in baking Gardenia breads

the wonderful Lorraine giving us the whole gardenia story... its a shame that singaporean own most of it.. some tycoon should just buy over it!!!.. its too delicious to let the kiasu's own our breakfast!
tea time!! coffee with banana quick bites just makes the day!!!( Dr Vishna gave Lorraine a tough time with her dumb questions...c'mon...shes enjoying the gardenia cake herself...)
and the PR ppl there is just smart!! they gave us the new breakthru bread for diabetics...maybe they think we can recommend our diabetic patients to eat that next time...but the goodie pack also includes recipes... just love it...


OOH GARDENIA....SO GOOD U CAN EVEN EAT IT ON ITS OWN

what to do when ur weight is the talk of the town.. when nth u do can gain u a kilo.. when u can onli wear a few brands of shirts and slacks.. and even so they always dun hav ur size?? yeah..u got it.. u try and eat and eatt..and hopefully the food turns into fat or muscle which untimately gain u some weight....

haha..well..actually im proud that no one beats my BMI.. and i could just call anyone i dun like as fat!! met with brian, li yen and woon lee for pasar malam at connaught.. and this is what i ate in a meal..

food calories
curry mee (no fat in the chicken) 500
half of woon lee's oyster egg 450
taiwan pizza 2 slices(super oily) 300
crysantemum tea 25
man jian kueh 100
half a bowl of sharkfin soup..(too salty) 150

considering a sedentary person spends 1500 cals a day.. i think this meal should gain me a kg today.. we shall wait and see the results....

I guessed most of us had oledi seen the movie.... i really had lots of expectations when i went to see it last week. im not really dissapointed.. but i tot the fighting part with the wheels was kinda lame and time wasting.. anyway.. the question now is.. How come Barbosa is still alive???!! and whats happening next??


let me guess..in Pirates of the Carribean 3....

1. Barbosa help find the Black Pearl..which is not destroyed yet..
2. Jack Sparrow is still alive... hes just glued inside the kraken's slime...yucks
3. that new stuck up commander wont stick a knife in Davy Jone's heart straight away.... i think he'll go and negotiate or something...
4. Kapten Medusa aka Davy Jones get killed in the end..
5. some how the curse of the sea creature gets lifted.. and the Turner family gets reunited..
6. im thinking... Willian turner wont marry Elizabeth..gotta be a twist there...
7. in the end... No one controls the Kraken.. or it got killed....

it u havent watched yet...go watch..if u watched...share ur comments....

its been a long while since ive blogged about F1...and partly cos blogger always down!! but after world cup.. im back again.. and surprisingly..F1 is about Italy and France osso.. Ferrari and Renault is fighting again! and Mclaren is left to eat dust again..sigh..and the result?? Too predictable this time.. and i dun remember seeing any crash or clash osso.. remember US when 6 car went out the 1st lap? thats wat i m hoping to see more often.

some updates... if u guys know..Montoya left F1!! so suddenly and abruptly he just went from winning races, to uncertain of future, to ..racing in nascar?? he must be feeling like driving a proton after driving mercedes..is there anyone out there that misses Montoya in mclaren?? i doubt..

and btw..our BMW team got a new silly wing!! so called the twin towers...common sense will tell u it causes drag.. but dunno how they think its advantageous..
Pls dun tell me thats a Malaysian design... its like someone got nth to do and tot..hey..y not put 2 vertical wings in front?? and thats the result..

u've seen it..ate them, bought them, asked about them...and all pharmacist and salesgals recommend it to u... buy la... good for this and that.. but what is known fact and which is just money making drugs for suckers?? after a wonderful week in food and nutrition.. ill reveal the truth to you..

1. Garlic
said to: lower cholesterol, anti cancer, kills bacteria, lower blood sugar, anti blood clots..(chinese, egyptians and others had been using it for 5000 years..)
proven fact: short term, modest(9%) lowering of lipids.( fat floating in blood)
gives u EXTREME BAD BREATH, and pls dun fart after that..



















p.s. chop garlic and leave for 10 minute b4 cooking.. and dun over cook.. when taking pills.. make sure it contains alicin..if not its just oil..

2.Lecithin
said to: lower cholesterol, lower fat, antioxidant...(protects brain cell!!)
proven fact: its a fat emulsifier... so it kinda lower the fat..but cholesterol..not proven..the protective wan.. i think theoretically it does lo..








































p.s. can cause diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort..

3. Spirulina























said to: they say its the mother of all things...contains everything. all vitamins...
helps in heart, liver...since it contains everything...it gotta be good in EVERYTHING
proven fact: quite tru osso la...the list of things it contains is endless..

p.s. just know that its a blue green algae harvested in shit ponds.

4. red yeast rice



























said to: used in food coloring, lower cholesterol, improve circulation, diarrhea, indigestion.... proven fact: ill sure recommend this wan cos its actually lovastatin, a drug that lowers cholesterol production!!

im not saying that theyre good or not good...but at least now u know the facts...
enjoy life!!

Finals was awesome... and its probably the 1st time that i didn sleep at night. its too bad i dun have pics for this.. so u gotta imagine the situation..went to Vee han's place with chia ling and lydia...(His house got awesome surround and a HUGE projector screen..) and the toy armor we brought to the orphanage was still in my car. so... we watched the finals..me wearing the helmet, chia ling taking the shield, lydia holding the sword and Vee han wearing the body armor.. damn funny scene..

back to the game.. we were all for ITALIA.. they obviously are the stronger team..drama happened on the 1st minute when Henry fainted.. then Zidane fluked the penalty, then Materazzi scored the header... then all the italians suddenly became 铁头功.. all the header on target but just cant go through.. the beautiful wan that went in got offsided.. and the rest of the story u know la..

i really gotta mention the 铁头功 head butt of Zidane.. i think that cost France the WC and his carreer.. what a loser!!















damn..the WC trophy is a mould of Zidane's head!!


















and the winner goes to... PIZZA!!

















I got Zidane's head!!

well..after exam... its time to make the kids in Santa Jerome happy again.. and this time..we came prepared!.. 1st..its Gordon with some games for the kids....memorize our names...then if correct then got a small gift.. and u know what.?? they confused me with Lina!!! oh no....i think better stick with the UN---CLE title la...
Tek Jee gave a WONDERFUL story of david and Goliath!! and my goodness...even got the armor for the kids.. they certainly had fun with it.. after that all using the sword and shield to fight.... i gotta learn some tricks fromTek Jee to use in my sunday school la... incredible..

As promised.. i wanted to teach them violin... but starting from square 1, its easier said than done. this really tested my patients a lot.. gotta repeat repeat and repeat.. until finally they barely managed 'Twinkle twinkle little star....'


anyway..things ended happily as usual... and thanks to my bros.... lina, alice and fern, im sure the kids would be looking forward to see us again.. at this rate..i think we would run out of ideas pretty soon..
