gadgets are human's best friend..

recently i've discovered that an ipod touch can actually do wonders, can do more than what i ve expected it to be, a lot of applications which are helpful for instant messaging, work(such as presentation, acting as a mouse pad, dictionary), free bibles are also available now, and provide a user with lots and lots of fun!.. imagine my sister has around 9 pages of games, which means 100 over games inside an ipod, cool isnt it ? and i personally think, although i m not a gamer ,an ipod touch can actually replace PSP due to the nice graphics that ipod touch has, and also the motion sensors which make the games more exciting. Some 3D games will surely entertain you where ever you are.Last time, when i first own the ipod touch, i was of the opinion that ipod touch is never better than my pda, but then with the recent application development, i would say that its now on par with the functions of a pda, and perhaps sometimes way better than a pda..


i'm a proud owner of an ipod touch although it is a 1st gen 1,but then the function are mostly the same. i've actually influenced 2 ppl to buy an ipod touch after they see me having it. :)...Apple shd pay me some commission le .. and quite a few more who actually wants to buy but haven bought it yet.

see how an ipod touch can entertain a person, when a person is waiting for another person to cut his hair .. hehe

getting bored waiting for food?... just take out a gadget from ur pocket and you will not get bored... at least for me and her .. :)

taking out an ipod is too troblesome? .. nevermind taking out just a camera phone will do, this is especially true for girls.. hehe

Dan's food review #1

If one day u were to visit mentakab, this thai tom yam stall is a must go. It only operates in the morning.And according to what i ve heard, on sundays, this stall doesnt allow take-aways due to the extremely good business..



hey peeps, eating tom yam early in the morning will hurt your stomach~!.. but who cares... you see the crowd, happily enjoying their sourish tom yam mee, mee hoon or what eva type of mee!

a small stall just beside their house situated in a kampung, but the business is certainly not small!

poor us, have to wait to be seated.

and finally, here comes our tom yam mee+ mee hoon, with some some big huge prawns, and fish balls. I think the secret behind the tasty tom yam is that they put some condensed milk inside and mix it with the soup.

what lies behind the smiles...

i may be smilling and cheerful most of the time outwardly, i am not at all happy sometimes inwardly. The new year is not a good start and a refreshing start for me.People started their new year with a huge and happening countdowns in various places, i spend the last few moments of 2008 and the first few hours of the year 2009 alone, all alone at home. It seems to be no big deal, a lot of people stays at home and do nothing to usher the new year, but i just dont like the feeling of being alone without ppl accompanying me.

When i knew that i will be the President Elect for the Rotaract Club of ATC,I was delighted as first.. but this doesnt last for long .. for i know .. criticisms will come .. to a certain extend,i hate holding high post in a club or gaining status in a society.this is because, inevitably and unavoidably, ppl's attention will focus on me, and next various comment will come ... i sometimes really prefer to be just an ordinary guy sitting in the library with no one knowing who i am. For the first time(i'm not trying to be boostful), someone actually doubted my leadership skills and what more, commenting it on a major rotary event. It's ok if he knows me personally and worked with me before.. The point being, He dont even know me personally and who is he to comment on me. I know it will be a tough year ahead of me ... but at the very least.i'm thankful that the senior rotaractors are all behind and willing to give me their full support. It's really nice working with them.

I was really shaken by this, and i began to doubt myself as well, not only as a rotaractor but as in the whole Daniel. I no longer know what i can do, i no longer know what i can contribute to both rotaract, studies, relationship and my family. I began to feel tired and restless.Putting that aside, the bulk of studies which i have, make it worst.Counting the days i have before revision and actual exam, it makes me shiver and i m doubtful whether i am running a no-aim race.There is of no doubt that, relationship brings not only joy and happiness but problems as well. It is really depressing at times, but i'll trust that it will turn out to be better and the quality of our relationship will be determined by how do we actually survived through this time of trials.

i can just hope that most of the things will turn out to be good soon ... a bad start will not necessary mean that my whole year will be a bad 1 .

Happy "niu" year 2009..

mum and dad... from left to right:)

cousins, sis and me.

steffie and I....

wonder why we only take pictures with the same person again again and again ? .. cos edward and steffie are the only two cousins that came back for this new year

youth... older youth gathering on the eve of CNY..

The shirts and pants that i ve bought before going back to muar

besides getting ang pow...this is what i get... a watch ... and ..................... drum roll

nokia E65~!... woohooo...i feel good!.. hahaha

i felt that i should blog something about this new year before i totally forget what i've done for the past few days... so far how's the new year treating me ? .. well .. i would say that it is still too early to tell .. but then one thing that i know is i can already feel the stress for my upcoming inter exam.the fun and all aside for new year, deep down in my heart, i'm worried about my studies..and hence, i'm back here now in KL.. to make sure that i complete my assignments and be able to study as much as i could... perhaps juz for a day or two..

The day before i went back to muar, mian yi and i went for last minute shopping..she had actually done with her new year shopping .. but not me ... so we went to sg wang and various places to shop for my baju raya.When my sister saw me wearing my new shirt, she said that it was quite nice. . this shows that .. hmm no longer need my sister and mum to buy shirts for me for new year dy!.. we can go buy it on our own...hehe... it was a nice day out...

Basically what i did in muar for this few days was just playing with gadgets,since my sister had secretly bought her ipod touch and we didnt knew it until she showed it to my on the way back to muar, hanging out with friends, not much though.. spending time with family, eating non stop and receiving ang pows!!!..i can actually consider that our family members are quite tech savvy.. and dad is a new member of it..He is so into gadgets nowadays!...

For the dog lovers....

Having a pet dog at home is the "in" thing nowadays..and my family had also join in the bandwagon of dog lovers... :)... it is so true now that people talk more about their pet dogs rather than their family matters or even about their grandchildren.. Attention is much given to their pets, feeding them,bringing them out to socialise with other dogs, bringing them out during chinese new year to take angpow.. yeah... to this extreme extent ... haha ..well, just some photos to show how watson is progressing and how he plays with his cousin doppy the pig... oops no the pug.. :P


this is the messy watson... never go cut his hair..


side view of him..


watson is enjoying his time with another dog which belongs to my mother's uncle...


i find that this is a nice shot... wondering why is he hiding there?... He is scared of fireworks.. and hence....hehe .. hiding at the side of the toilet bowl..

this is his cousin ... doppy!!~

i like this dog... His name is Olley.. Michelle's dog.. pretty clever...obedient at times as well..

P/s: watson is horny and he is a gay!!... beware if your dog wants to socialise with him.. haha.eh... nono he is a bi i think... coz he likes to kiss girls too.... have a nice time laughing guys... :)

a twist of the day ...

Received a message from Jessica this morning. She told me that there is a Public Law SPS claass on Civil Liberties.I was actually studying at that time.being the normal Daniel..my mood to study totally went down the drain...simply because i ve earlier plan to study at home for the whole day today ...having nite class will means i would need to go to college in the late afternoon .. fine..went to college and when i approach the receptionist they told me there was no class for inter sept full time .... i was like .. oh no!!.... my time travelling to college wasted. . i was suppose to finish up my assignments!.. i just dunno what to do at the moment .. whether to go back home or stay in the library...and ta-da something came into my mind...Daphne had in the afternoon sms-ed me and asked me whether i was interested to have dinner in Kim Gary ....immediately asked jessica to call daphne and told her that we are going to join her and matt for dinner..




happy belated birthday Daphne!!...

The four of us..

Amos Kok posing...

Since it was Daphne's birthday yesterday, we had a 50% on every item that we eat.. wow it was really a good deal....have i not went to college, i would have miss this opportunity to eat in Kim Gary with a relative low price!...i've just completed my assignment juz a few moments ago.. this makes me not so guilty of going out during week days. .. hehe

A trip up to ipoh

Just before our new semester starts, we went to ipoh for a Rotary District 3300 conference during the weekend....i would say that it was a fruitful weekend..

that is joel the driver for the weekend!!:P

food was first on the agenda.. haha ... met up with PP Donny and his wife and had lunch together..

ipoh rojak... a different style all together..

right after lunch, we went to try out the original ipoh white coffee... i m personally not a coffee lover, but then the coffee was nice and it taste good...

if u r observant enough, you would have notice that in order for you to go to the toilet. . you will need to make a U-turn... :P

roti bakar...

egg tart..

you will not be able to imagine how childish an adult like us can be... arguing non stop about whether a mac book is better or an ipod touch is better....anyhow,uncle Donny still wins, coz he has both of them!.

The rotary family... Rotaractors and Rotarians..

John Lawrence.. RI director

four rotaractors.... oops.. nono .. 3 rotaractors and 1 rotarian.. :)

the District Rotaract Chairman bought us for some SNOW beer....it was nice sitting in his sports car. Quite a nice car although its a bit old ..
