no..this title was not exaggerated at all!!!! it was exactly wat happened !!i dunno whether anyones gonna believe this...but it is all true...its so dramatic that i cant exaggerate it!!!
straight to the incident..was coming back from Bentong with Jo in Karak Highway on a rainy day... wasnt pouring and visiblilty was still good.. i did some speeding in the tunnel...As u can see...rite after the tunnel was a left turning with a slightly wider road area...the minute i turned left...the car just lost control and skidded!!! it went sideways...but was still moving very fast!!
as it went down..it spun 180 degrees and headed to the mountain... almost about to hit it.and i tried to turn ..and it spun AGAIN!! still losing control..the car went straight for the barrier!!

at that point.. i was thinking im so gonna die...beyond that barrier is a plunge down the mountain and into tomolo's newpaper headline...but..in a miracle...
the car spun AGAIN!!! just as is was about to hit the barrier..i hit the brakes...and AGAIN..it spun 360 degrees to a halt!! in another miracle...there was no cars there!!!we didn hit ANYTHING and there were no injuries..except stuff were thrown around for a while.

if ure thinking that was unbelievable....the story hasnt ended yet!!! i was abviously quite shaken up by the near death experience..so Jo took over the drive...and not even 10 mins after that... the car spun..AGAIN!! this time....jo pulled the handbrakes and spun it 360 degrees into a stop.. but this time..there WERE cars on the road... all braked and looked with wide opened eyes and low dropping jaws..and yet again...didn hit anything, didn hit anycar, no injuries..

if this is not a total MIRACLE...i dunno wat is...1st..we could have hit the mountainside at 80..and suffered damage and maybe some injuries or worse..2nd.. we could have plunged down the cliff to certain death. 3rd..there were no damage or injuries..even when there were cars..4th..there were so many cars parked beside the road.. all by accidents.. it could have so so easily been us!!

and I cant thank God enough for His protection and His Grace...He was the only reason why i am still here...

Food is great in Kiasuland... and its cheap if u dun convert it..of cos...and ive certainly been eating too much there.. for instance..Everything here is my supper after eating prawn noodles at 6pm, then MOS burger at 11pm. the porridge is 60 cents, mixed with some fatty pork and vege gives makes it awesomei wonder y we dun have MOS burger here...theyre just fantastic!chocolate at Max Brenners!! super nice fondue, waffles... another thing that we dun have here! dun tell me we dun like chocolates! and thanks Wei Siong for the treat!!
the hostel we stay has some cooking facilities...so..back to cooking again! but just scrambled eggs and french toast la..

if ur really feeling like a tourist...go sip Singapore Sling at Clarke Quay (pronounced Kl-ark Key) filled with Mat Salleh bars and seafood restaurants serving giant crabs!! dun dare to ask bout the price..but i bet its awesome to get our hands on it one day! scenery is unbeatable there... if onli i ordered some food..hawkers centers are great too...some are non smoking wans like this wan outside Esplanade.. thats something we should have too!!

really cant tell whose country is better in terms of food, but i think for the money's worth, Malaysia still rocks.

the economy aka budget aka cheapo class is really like a refugee camp! stuffed with ppl talking, snoring, eating, playing, sleeping, trying to sleep..and not forgetting ppl who took the liberty to release their flatus to the whole cabin!!! the toilet flushes straight into the track, has a 10 cm diameter sink...and of cos..stank to high heavens..and for 10 hours... we were there trying to fall asleep.. and to be woken up by bloody rude customs officer!!

thats y Malaysia is Rocks..!!

im still wondering wat just happened...everything seems like a boring and dull day until 5 minutes changed the whole nite..

was actually talking to Wilfred bout how bored i am for the day... decided to cook for family... then halfway thru...got a call from Woon Lee...which says theyre on their way to my house in 2 mins time!! when they got here.. im really kinda stuck.. cant just leave the food and go..so Woon Lee came in and cooked the rest of the crabs and steamed the tofu..wierd thing is..she skipped cooking for her family.. but came over to cook for my family...whom i also didn get to eat with!oh ya..i got clipped by one of the crabs...when i tot the fella was dead!! suddenly came to live and locked his pincers on my finger...wow..most painful grip ever!! skin osso came out..and the fella died after that. maybe he just used his last breath for revenge...haha..too late.


next...on the way to SS2.. called brian out since he stayed near... but he said he cant come out that time.. when were almost there...he suddenly say hes on the way...no need to fetch parents from airport oledi.. wierd osso.. really enjoyed roti hawaii at murni's...a mamak famous for anything but roti canai... gatherings like that are really rare!! really brought me back to the college days...if only Chern Wuay was there also..

after that..went to Yu Lek and eat again.. ABC tong sui with red bean, green bean, dunno wat bean, too much sago, sweet potato... kinda remind me of Jo's bubur chacha...haha

went back home..finally get to eat my cooking...but still the best is Woon Lee's crabs la...wat a wierd day.. but wierd days are never so enjoyable!!

edited my year old Christina Aguilera video... for merdeka...lets enjoy this very meaningful ad... saw in feng's blog..and i totally agree with it!!

this ad speaks for Proton, our high tech buildings, our education system, laws, football, badminton... things are are bad until cannot mention, but just needs a little change in attitude to bring us forward. So as we celebrate our 50th independence, try to strive harder so we can lift our heads high in front of others...

Wat a great day to meet long time no see frens for Karaoke...glad to see Joanna graduated and is back from China for good...Brian tan came all the way from BU, Wilfred came to sing even though hes fasting!! (im serious...he cant even drink water..and hes singing still didn go out!!!..)and Woon Lee...its always fun to have u... but this time..was doubly surprised to see my former skoolmate Kar Sang appearing out of no where... Joanna..u must be the most famous outsider in Sri Sentosa...everyone knows u!!

normally... when Joanna is holding the mic..better not add ur voice in..it just spoils.. and in the mean time..u can enjoy the song.. or just fool around...

Kar Sang is a pro too!! my goodness..always singing one octave higher wan..argh.. i give up osso la... we got K King and K Queen in 1 room!!!...scared to hold mic oledi..

and wilfred...really need to salute him la...he can resist ALL food and drinks in front of him... and even later yumcha osso didn eat! while all of us are happily chewing down curry, mee, fruits, salad.... salutes Wilfred..u proved that 'man does not live by bread alone'!

group pics..


a yumcha session later really brought us back to the fun days... really enjoying catching up with Kar Sang about the old days in skool, and not forgetting..reviewing back 3 years ago when my most memorable bday happened! how can i be so naive that time??!! i still kept the 2 A4 page wonderfully written script!!!cheers to all the great times!!

this day officially starts my 3 week weight gain programme...since my weight is now stabilised at 50..anything more than that is an achievement..but then..y bother..new sems start and ill use it all up!!.:) anyway...theres plenty more time to meet up again...hope to see u all soon!!

i really feel i need some real meat and real vege after the kinda pseudo food in the afternoon. went with my family to Tony Roma's in pyramid... many thanks to the chia ling and gang for the voucher!!!see..its not difficult..a good serving of salad and a big chunk of grilled chicken..thats all it takes to make a great deal for a starter!!add some succulent beef, toast some bread, add some fries...and again a satisfying main course
ok...dad wasnt happy at all with his grilled prawns..too rare, too prawny...but thanks a lot for the dinner...

i got a reak shock just 2 weeks ago when i was told that my fren is getting Married!..both husband and wife just 22 years old.. just together for like less than a year.. and now..getting married..so fast!1st thing that came to mind is...is she having G1? (hehe..ask me if u dunno)..but then..lets not speculate le...

so..i bravely went to a wedding lunch with some new experience...1st time i ever go for wedding without having a single clue who is the groom (dunno how he looks like, dunno where he come from...dunno his name osso)..1st time ive ever eaten vegetarian wedding lunch..(actually 1st time eating a full vegetarian course...apparently the groom's parents are vegans.)1st time i go knowing only 2 persons in the whole restaurant besides the bride...1st time ive ever been to a wedding held in shopping complexes..(carrefour sri petaling mahligai vege restaurant)...and something i didn expect at all...i just went to ah beng and ah lian haven!! my goodness..innocent me going with my IMU wear...while even the family just wore casual jeans!!!

now...this vege restaurant serves no vege! if u can see properly...ull find things like crab, shark's fin (they can bravely admit that its fake.) fish, prawns, piglet, chicken....but NO VEGE!

heres an example... fried fish. meat is white, looks like fish, even got crispy skin...but certainly taste like pseudofish(ask me again if u wanna know wats that..)
besides the ah peks having their own karaoke competition on stage, they even got a magic show for extra entertainment.. bravo for creativity, but i cant help but feel that some trick are lame..

these are kinda cute..

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM...seng
So..Siow Ling and Meng Kit..hope u both had a great time ahead...百年和好, 永结同心...
