1st job, 1st working experience.

This is suprising not only to my friends, but also to my aunts or anybody who are related to me. 1st time working, getting a job, suprising? Shouldn't be. Working in a sushi restaurant as a cook, suprising? 1st word pops out are either WHAT! or HUH!. XD

I got a lists of benefits, which are :

  1. 1st time working
  2. Earn money (most important) XD, quite high the pay they gave me
  3. Cooking experience since I dunno how to cook
  4. Can make some food next time in my campus if I have the indgredients
  5. Eat some time instead of staying in front of the pc screen n DOTA whole day
  6. Can steal bits of food here and there while i'm cooking (must not let the chef see) =P
  7. Make new friends
  8. Understood how my parents earn their money hard for me, so must not keep spending

This is so far of what i can think of. Here's the station I work

nothing much actually, just a regular kitchen.

I'm in charge of some of the deep fry foods. In that bowl is Tempura Ko, use for prawns.

Here is the long chopping board, from front, there's the stand-by plate (for stand-by b4 peak hours), chicken katsu (fillet in japanese), soft shell crab, white powder (the real name is in japanese and is complicated), Tofu (for serving Agetashi Tofu), breader mix (another powder), tempura powder, and the vegetable plate. 

How do i look like in the kitchen working?

just their uniform and an apron with a "hat".

the logo on my t-shirt.

I look like a Japanese? XD After wearing that "hat", some of the workers even thought i'm from MYANMAR. =,=""

The sushi belt.

The front door of the restaurant, in tropicana city mall, call Sushi Tei. BTW I work from 10am to 4pm from Sunday to Friday. So far I've enjoyed working there, cos i love working during weekdays, just stand around, do simple tasks, can get money into my pocket. XD

Well that's about it for now, I didnt took much pictures, cos obviously, i'm working. I try to sneak some more next time, and upload it into my next blog update alright. ^^

(P.S. If any1 out there interested in visiting me in the restaurant, do not come during peak hours from 12 to 2pm, I'll b busy)

Paintball maniacs!

Aaahh, Kuala Lumpur, a city that blooms at day n glows at night. I arrived here last week (4th of Feb) and boy I'm really glad to see skyscrapers when i arrive after 5 hr journey in the bus.

Anyway a point made, now about the next meet up with my campus frens. 5th of Feb, thursday, gathered in KL central. Suppose to b every1 thats from KL gathering, but ended up only 4, Ravin (kambing), Faizal (restless anime boy), Sashdev (harry potter) and me (nickname varies with ppl). XD 

So there were change of plans, we went paintball =P, its my 1st paintball.

So here we are, b4 the "battle".

From left, Ravin,me and Harry Potter. Faizal is the photographer, you'll get to see him later =P

Me and Ravin close up.

After 45 min, here we are taking pics of our "injuries".

from left, ravin, me, faizal and harry potter. I looked uninjured? this view is more visible.

check out the paint on my pants. Trust me its very painfull.

here is the bruise on that day, its so pain that even friction with the pants also hurt.

here is the bruise after 1 WEEK!!! its still there. Well at least compare to Ravin, mine is not that bad.

nothing but stains on his clothes?

Look at that! If u want to know how it feels being hit by 1 paintball travelling at 260KM/H, go play painball for once yourself. XD

Harry Potter got shot at the head (by Ravin). So did I (3 times in fact, on the helmet n my hair) but its not obvious so I didnt take a photo of it.

Me and Ravin 1 team and the other 2 is on the other team. I first blood Harry, shoot him at the fingers. It bleeded a bit. @,@ Then the next kill was Faizal got shot by me again. =P Check out where it is,

If he didnt wear the helmet, i would have made him gone deaf. That is how me and ravin won the 1st round. The next round those 2 buggers aim me 1st n took me out. My leg injury got it on the 3rd round. There were 4 rounds n we each won 2, so its a tie.

Its a bit unfair that Faizal walkaway uninjured. Anyway then we went to times square for a movie. Watched pink panther 2, good comedy. The chinese new year decos are still up in times square.

Huge Lantern!

sakura (cherry blossoms in japanese), how beautiful. Artificial ones of cos XD

Queensbay is gold, time square is coins, big ones. =D

Later we went Lou yat mall to get some things and send Faizal off. Took a pic of a lion dance performance.

There you go, 5th of Feb, a very fun day. 1st time paintball, or shall i say, PAINball. XD

To end this blog, here's a photo of some cute cakes my mum recieved as a gift. I'll update again soon about my 1st job I got in a sushi restaurant. =D

8th day of CNY

In the chinese tradition, on the 8th day (which is exactly on 12 am, 3rd of feb) of chinese new year (CNY), chinese have to pray to the sky God. I blogged this late cos i'm in KL now, ntg much to do during the free days here. XD Is kinda bored cos the internet here sux and no online games >,< (mainly DOTA)

Anyway, before the 8th day, the night on the 7th day, I helped them (my family, dad's side) to prepare the praying ceremony. Here are some random pics after the preparation. =P

better view for the food prepare for the Gods,

front view from the road

side view, can see my old aunt =D

Here's a solid proof I was there helping XD

I was helping to burn the josstick

Not just food, we have to prepare some golden papers to be burned. The pics I took is from start, fold the papers into a certain pattern, and stack them into a mountain

kinda low at 1st,

getting higher,

it is at its highest, around 1 meter high,

nice paper pineapple, I wonder how its made? XD this is the final touch for the mountain,2 pineapples.

here u go, though i'm not sure whats the reason for burning the papers, I should ask. It took us 1 hr to build this mountain.

Then all our effort pays off, by burning them =D

Again this pics are taken from start till the end,

getting heaty,

fire is so intense that i can only take from a distance, (hey 1 of the pineapple dropped!)

the finishing stage,

ashes remain.

Well the next time I blog will b about my 1st meet up with frenz from AIMST, and we went paintball (which was yesterday, 5th of feb). Will blog when i have the complete set of photos  XD

Chinese New Year!!

Finally! Chinese new year (CNY). After all the suffering at home with lifeless-non-stop-gaming, finally can meet someone and hang out. To me, its all about reunion (3rd priority), collecting ang pau (2nd priority) and gambling (1st priority XD). Check out the number of ang paus i collected (dont even think about asking how much in total i got XD),

Most chinese would have CNY decos in front of their house. Check out mine,

front view and some lanterns at the front door,

Every year, my 1st day is usually visiting families from my dad's side, only in Kulim here. 2nd day is usually visit my step-mother's side, which is in penang. But dunno why delayed until the 4th day only visit. Well 2nd n 3rd day is reunion with my secondary school frenz.

Anyway, the 4th day was cool, gambled whole day XD (of cos small small 1 la, i dont exceed RM5 =P) win or lose doesnt matter, it was fun =D.

Stayed overnight in my dad's new appartment (or mayb his retirement appartment). Here are some random pics i took at the balcony.

day and night comparison (hey i manage to catch 1 fireworks explosion XD)

its kinda beautiful.

another comparison (sry about the astro satellite)

this time i dont take with the satellite there XD

another day n night comparison

check out the sunset, is really beautiful

can see the bridge from here, quite convenient if anyone wants to cross can see jam or not =P

After the 4th day, the 5th day was quite interesting. In the morning went out for breakfast with Jo Reem. In the afternoon, met Christine in Queensbay. She also introduced some frens to me cos they wanna study in aimst for degree too. Then evening come back to kulim, with double prosperity chicken burger too. XD Looking forward to next year's new year =P
