Once Again

Once again I stopped updating my blog. For don't know what reason I just don't have the passion like before for blogging. Maybe it's because I'm getting busier and all my school works are shouting for my attention. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Yeah. I know. I'm always lazy. =p

But then again, I do want to continue blogging. It feels good to start typing on this blog again. You know, to express yourself with words that you can't really say it out loud, but with words you can describe every details, magnified and clear.

I will try my best to update more. I don't know who else would still be interested in my blog again. I've certainly lost most of my reader through the few update-less month. But I'll still go on.

Here's a song I'm currently hook up to. Who knew John Mayer could be such a good jazz singer? =]

The Reunion Dinner

We had a different reunion dinner this year. Its an extraordinary experience which everyone is very excited about when the news reach our house.

[Blessed as we all are to have a family]

Every year on this very day, every member of the Choo Family would gather at my house for the biggest feast of the year. A tradition which had pass down from ancient time and would pass down forever. The reunion dinner.

When we talk about food in this family, nothing comes simple. And I'm LOVING it!!!!

[Four season]

[Evelyn with all the food she can eat] =p

Now for the special part of this year's reunion dinner. We have some visitors visiting us with some unusual gadgets.

[Got style] lol

We have the people from the national television station visiting us, taking videos of us eating. Hahaha... So we have to be very polite in front of the camera while eating. Once the camera is off. We are like wolfs who have not eaten for days. =p

Then we have a tradition of giving ang pao. We young ones would line up in front of our grandma and wish her a happy new year and receive an ang pao in return. Who doesn't like ang paos?! XD

[Happy Chinese New Year Grandma!!!]



[Happy is written on everyone's face]

There was an interview session. 3 of us was given a interview. I was one of them, but I kinda freak out in front of the camera and I have no idea what I'd said. hahaha.... We still don't know who's interview they will be using. We'll just have to wait. LOL.....

[I like to thank my mum, my dad, my grandma, my brother, my sister...]
and the list goes on and on. =p

[Wishing everyone Happy New Year]

Finally the visitation end around an hour or more. Everyone then started to cool down a little. Everyone was so excited when the camera man was in the house. hahaha....

Grandma then pull out a bag of scarf and gave it to us to choose. She made us all a scarf. How sweet of her!!!! XD

[I Love my Grandma!!!!]

Even the youngest one get a cute scarf. XD

[My cute niece and her pretty mummy]

[Fashionable]

[Do I look pretty?!] XD

[NO?!]

Finally the Finale of the night. Family picture time!!!!
Proudly presenting the CHOO FAMILY!!!

[The BIG Choo's Family]

[Grandma and her grandchildren and grand grandchildren]




Have a Great Chinese New Year Everyone!!!!

Chinese New Year Mood On

My band mate told me how I looked like on the day I was going back to my hometown. So much joy she said. Truthfully I am. There is nothing more happier for a wanderer to get to go back to his native land.

Its been quite a while since I got to feel this way. The joy of waiting for Chinese New Year to arrive. I can still remember how exciting it was when I was a kid counting the days left to CNY. Me and my sisters used to start counting down a month before. Hahaha.... Those were the days when we were still young and innocent. Pure happiness enrich us even more when days passed by.

I started to lost this feeling few years ago while growing up. CNY wasn't as exciting as it used to be. I guess it was because there wasn't much to expect from CNY when you were at home with every family members surrounding you. So the appreciation started to fade.

But this year is a complete different story. I'm out in KL studying, separated from home by the South Sea of China. Going back home is not an easy task, although flying back only cost me 2 hours and 15 minutes, but the point is I am separated from home and things are not the same anymore.

I guess people are right, CNY is special to people like me, because this is the time when wanderers get to go back home and reunite with their family. I can justified this saying now. Loud and clear!!

I love this feeling and will cherish the time to be with my family, knowing that I'll be back to KL soon and wont be back for a while. This will definitely be a special Chinese New Year for me and my family.

Cheers!!!

Hello 2011

[Whats up?!]

Some people might be saying: "Darn this Vincent!!! He is not updating again!!!" I apologize for making you guys miss me. (Because I know you guys miss me) XDD

2011 is not just a new year to me.

It means that I'm a year older now. I'm now stepping into the world of 2. But its not official until my birthday. =p

It means that I'm starting a whole new journey down the road of musician. New challenge welcomes me back in Uni.

It means that I have new aims to pursue. Giving me a fresh start from everything.
(Losing weight is one of the aims to be archived!!)

With my 2 month holidays, I am well rested and refreshed, and ready to embrace the challenge a head of me. Many things had already took place during this 1st 3 weeks of 2011. It was intense, challenging and exciting, I know that this will be a great year! I can feel it!!!


This is how I embrace my new year!!!

[Yes I know I should be losing weight]

Can you imagine a world without friends?! I can't!!! Friendships are IMPORTANT to me!!!

[Shopping and food kaki]

This is a first for the year. First picture I had ever took with this old pal of mine.

[Anson and me]

Okay, I promise to keep updating as often as possible. I know you guys would miss me. XD

How's Holiday

You got that damn right kitty! I'm in boredom hell alright.

It's been a week from my arrival back in Miri. Well, nothing change much here except for the new mall open near the airport, Medeka Mall they call it. That's weird, I haven't went to check it out yet, but I bet there is nothing much to see.

Oh I miss KL shopping malls. I bet there is many of you who reads my blog now having that disgusting smirk on your face and throwing question about why did I left KL that hurry. If you are one of the above, I OFFICIALLY HATE YOU!!!

I guess I better start finding stuff to do before I'm bored to death. I'll try make out a to-do-list ASAP. And I know I owe you guys the Singapore trip post. Will work on it soon. =p

Peace out.

Camping In LCCT

Hey guys, guess where am I?!

If you are clever enough, you have already spot the location at the title. =p

LCCT. That's right!

And why am I here for?!

Camping!!

Wow.... sounds extraordinary right?!?!

Care to join me?! It would be fun. I promise.


Okay, this the deal. I'm suppose to be flying back to my hometown, Miri, early morning at 7.05am. But I have no choice to take the midnight train to LCCT or eles I would not make it for the flight. And now I'm here. Camping at the cafeteria, Facebooking, blogging and I just finished my HEALTHY EARLY 3 PIECES CHICKEN KFC BREAKFAST!!!

It's Finger Lickin' Good! XD

By the way, I decided not to sleep and stay awake until my flight. One good reason for it is that I'm alone and I don't want my belongings carry away by others without myself knowing it. I think coffee would serve me well here now.

Another thing is, damn the stupid airport for only allowing 2 hours of wireless connection. I was planing to spend the night in front of the computer doing something. But now, for another hour I'm off the line. Damn it again!!!

Anyway, I was thinking of working on my Singapore trip post for you guys. I had fun on this short holiday. Many exciting and funny stories to share with you guys. I just need time to type them out.

Now I hope the daylight would come quickly.

6 Hours 10 Minutes 05 Second Counting down.

Holiday Time

With Jury FINALLY over. Its time for me to hit the road and have a nice holiday that I deserved. =p

If you would ask me, "Hey, how did your jury go?"

Well, I'll tell you other then the nerve wracking, hand shaking, heart racing part, it all was great. Smooth in a way, at least I feel more confident then my 1st jury during last semester. Lets just hope the result wouldn't come out too disappointing.

Okay, done with jury, Hello HOLIDAY!!!

This time, my destination would be SINGAPORE.

Oh, I so excited about this trip. There is so much thing going on on this island. So much place to visit. I'm a backpacker who loves to be at a place and suck up all the culture a place could have offer. This time its the culture from a city, and form what I'm seeing now, is that this place got a whole load of place waiting for me to explore.

My companion for this round of trip would be 4 lovely course mate of mine. And lucky us, one of our course mate is from JB, and she offered us her humbly home for us to stay over. Cutting down our budgets on hotels. How sweet of her. So basically we'll be going back and forth from JB and SG everyday starting from 26th Oct(wed) till 30th Oct(sat).


So its a 4 day trip in Singapore, and so much thing to do. I wonder what can this city offer?

Suggestion on places or event or anything are WELCOME!!!

The Phone Call

Precisely on 2010, October, 5th, 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 32 minutes and 15 seconds.

An UNKNOWN number flashed on my hand phone.

Not knowing the seriousness and CONSEQUENCES of it,

I'd ANSWER the call.

Okay, lets cut off the drama. I receive a call from the Marketing department of UCSI, asking me if i could help them out at a photo shooting programe this Friday. It is for the Music Department she added.

Actually I'd just woke up from my afternoon nap and was kinda blur. My head was still spinning around. I reconfirmed the what-so-ever programe that it was with her and was surprised to find out that they actually wanted me to go for the photo shooting.

Okay, my head is spinning again.

I got a hold of myself a second later and reconfirm the details with her again. I was asked to be at Block A on Friday afternoon, smart casual and with another formal wear ready. She asked for my major instrument and I told her it was the piano, and she asked for my minor instrument. I kinda pause for a while and told her I don't have a minor instrument, if you would count composition as an instrument. LOL

There is one thing she clarified, that is there won't be any payment given for the photo shooting. Sad case huh?! But to show their appreciation, she promised to give some merchandises. Well, I guess that is better then nothing right?! Hahaha....

[I smelt a rat]

Today, I'd already smelled something suspicious going on after University reading and writing class. Miss Gan Hui Wan actually asked me did I receive any phone call yesterday. I asked her why and she wouldn't answer. Now I know. Someone had been sneaking around my back.

By the way, There is one last question I'd like to ask.

[Should I rent a tux?]

Lunar Festival

How did you celebrate Lunar festival(also known as the moon cake festival)?

Chinese usually spent their time with their family on this special day. It is the day when the moon hangs up high in sky at its fullest moment. The Chinese have a saying, when the moon is at its fullest, people will reunite(usually refers to family members).

Well since I'm far away from my own family and there is no way I can get back to them at all, people like me came out with a Brilliant plan. *light bulb shines brightly*

Since there are so many of us who are in the same situation. We can't go back to our own family, we then shall come together and have a gathering of our own. Sounds like a plan. With the location decided and things prepared, its gona be a fun night.

Two days ago, we all went to Chin Ni's house and since it's pasar malam(night market) night over here, foods are found everywhere, there was no worry about food. Some bought food to share and of cause there is the specialties of the day, Moon cake, specially brought by Ching Ting. Thank you Ching Ting, they are delicious, only that its a little too sweet. lol..

[The sweet moon cakes]

This following picture is too cute. I JUST HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU GUYS!!!

[Cute Ching Ting]

Maybe the moon cake its a little bit too sweet. How bout spicing it up a little?!

[Chili anyone?!]

Moon cake is something that can't be miss from the celebration, another thing that is a MUST on this festival is to go out on the street with a whole school of children(yes, we are NEVER too old for this), with a lantern in hand and go around the neighbor and have fun.

And so did we.

[everyone preparing their own lantern]

Actually, I have no idea who bought the lantern. Can someone tell me?

[beautiful lanterns]

And off we go. All the way down the street. Making noises as we passed by houses. Everyone was having the time of their life. We even ask the children off the the street to join us. Of cause they do not dare to walk with us.

Who would ever wants to join a bunch of psycho?! lol

[The psychos]

The parade did not lasted long, it was about a candle moment(some of us reach back just in time before the candle went out). So that's why I called it a candle moment.

We went back inside the house. We spent most of our remaining time chatting, talking and gossiping. lol..

[A moment where everyone minds their own stuffs]

There is something special about music students. That is, music follows them everywhere. We jammed on the piano, we sang in parts(choir members), we did all sorts of funny thing too. Like cam whoring. I know some one had been taking pictures all night long.

[Wen Jiun]

She is the one who took most of the pictures all night. Well she aint gona stay long in Malaysia anymore, since she is going to UK to continue her piano degree VERY soon. Lucky her!!!
All the best for her further studies. XD

The night gathering was partial for her farewell too. She took pictures with almost everyone, she hugs, she kiss, she touches(just exaggerating). hahahaha......

[Me, Wen Jiun and Alex]

Wen Jiun just LOVE Alex.

[Evidence!!!]

The younger one always would have to show their respect to the ELDERS.
By doing so...

[Serving tea would be just perfect!]

Some people just dint like the attention.

[No place to hide Sze Ern]

Of cause attention seekers are unavoidable.

[Kun Ming surrounded with Vs]

[What is wrong with your head Kun Ming?]

This is what happens when too much attention were given.

[LOL]

Finally the BIG psycho family photo.

[Looks normal to me]

[Guess not]

Let me finish up this post with a song that is made famous by Teresa Teng(邓丽君). This is a cover made by Khalil Fong(方大同). A jazz version of this famous song, The moon represents my heart(月亮代表我的心). I enjoyed listening to his cover. Hope you like it too.
