Testing Out Maxim!

Yes, our family (or specifically my brother) welcomed a new addition to our humble home not too long ago. Say hi to Maxim, our DSLR! :D

Haha funny how I used my bb camera to take a picture of a much more professional and handsome looking camera. Anyway, Maxim is a Canon EOS 600D (honestly though, I know nothing about cameras) and the reason we got him is so that my brother can produce more professional filming projects and all the thingamajiggies he does. That being said, I think I should learn to use the camera as well so I can document more shot-worthy moments in life :p

So anyway, on the very day we got Maxim, we happened to be in KL so we thought, why not test-try the camera? So, here’s some random pictures just to fill up some space :P

Hokkien Mee, which is culture for perhaps all Malaysian Chinese people. Although personally, I don’t particularly like the taste of the yellow mee in this dish. It has what we call ‘Guan Sui Mei’ or this lingering taste of boric acid that doesn’t go away and my, it’s disgusting. I don’t avoid this dish like a plague or anything, I’d just prefer something else any time! (I do like the fried lard pieces in it though :3)

Yes, I’d totally go for something like this over Hokkien Mee! Cantonese Fried Noodles (Wat Tan Hor) is usually on the menu together with hokkien mee most of the time. This restaurant I went to serves it with beef pieces together with ginger and spring onion (姜葱牛河) and it was mad delicious!

Old school menu and signboard! Yes, the place we went to is called Restoran Sang Kee, somewhere inside a dilapidated shack (no, seriously) opposite Chin Woo Stadium and somewhere around the Methodist Boys School KL. My dad, an alumnus of MBS was feeling rather nostalgic after dinner and decided to take us on a tour of his old school -.-

If you ever go there though, don’t order the fried rice because it’s a major letdown. Usually chefs who can cook good Cantonese Fried Noodles should be able to cook a good plate of fried rice, but evidently this wasn’t the case :(

Anyway, life update as of 11th January:

First up, exams have officially started for me. I’m taking 11 papers this term, and so far I’ve finished 2. Those two were practical papers, so they’re not too difficult yet but I don’t want to be overconfident. I have about a week more to study for the upcoming 9 papers, so I’m going back to Starbucks again tomorrow! A conversation with Ian went something like this the other day:

Me: I must produce good exam results, because I’m A-sian, not B-sian! (Geddit? :B)

Ian: No, you’re not A-sian. You’re an A*sian.

Me: ._. 

Wish me luck for the coming papers! imma ace you papers!!

Second thing, I’ve just been rejected by Cambridge not too long ago. And yes it’s terribly disheartening but I’ve come to realise it’s not the end of the world nor is Cambridge my entire world. In fact, I think I’ve passed my mourning period! (cos I’m capable of making jokes about my rejection and laughing when a friend made a meme out of my rejection) So, life goes on and hopefully, I’ll get into the other universities I’ve applied to *crosses fingers* I , however, have had the pleasure of being friends with someone who did get accepted to Cambridge! :D so this is a shoutout to Fong Kah Jo (although he will never read this) for being the short clever non-nerd who is currently looking forward to meeting hot intelligent girls in Cambridge. :p

Bye Cambridge, I guess we were never meant to be. *weeps sorrowfully*

Alright, this is a post meant for closure. Hahaha someone told me I’ll get back up stronger from downfalls. I think I most certainly will :p goodbye!
