My first ever jazz thingy..

Haha, I am aware that most of you are asking questions on, what is a Jazz Thingy? We will get on to that later. And today, is Saturday, 28th of September 2012.

A few days ago on Wednesday night, I hung out with Samurians from Batch 21, Ali, Nada,Hisyam,Zoewen and some friends of theirs Syira,Ezzan and Ezzan's brother which i have forgot his name.We went The Bee, Publika Sri Hartamas. The Bee is actually a name of a Restaurant Bar thingy with live music. It  was my first time experience going to such place. I've never been to a concert besides a Nasyid concert actually. My last concert was In-Team and Firdaus at SAMURA around 4 years ago i think? haha So the live band was sort of a Jazz concert thingy? sort of la. It was Nada's idea btw, which came from facebook comment conversation. Awesome right?  Anyway, the place was awesome! The performance was from Poova, a famous malaysian Jazz singer which I've just known haha I really liked the ambience, how they laid the ceilings and did the wall and stuff, kinda felt like a cozy place to sleep in... haha Anyway, how they come up with the menu design was awesome, have a look!

When I met Nada, she was the first Vegetarian Muslim that i've met, yes "MUSLIM VEGETARIAN" haha, Quite a rare species eh? I got influenced by her Vegetarian ideology, so i ordered the Caesar Salad with Parmesian Cheese. It was quite expensive though for a bowl of salad, RM19 i think, but it was worth it. The saltiness of the cheese kinda mixed quite well. For drinks, i ordered marakesh mint tea ke apa entah haha tasted good too.  

I am starting a trend on instagram, the trend of "BUDAYA PINGGAN KOSONG INSTAGRAM" haha, there's an example

Later on, for desert, i ordered "Nutella Churros". Sounds fancy eh? but the real deal is, its the local crispier version of "Cakoi", with some sugar and cinnamon sprinkled all over it and melted nutella as the sauce. Though, this alternative of cakoi made cakoi somekind of jamie oliver desert thingy. I think i am going to buy some cakoi later today and dip em in nutella instead of kaya haha! I didnt get a picture of it though. Nada and Syira ordered some very very weird ice cream, Salted Gula Melaka and Pandan Kaya. Salted Gula Melaka tasted like toffee and Kaya Pandan, well it tasted like Kaya Pandan itself haha you should give it a try one day.

 A really awesome custom made phone sticker!

Overall, it was an awesome night and thank you so much guys for inviting me to hang out.

and now, last night i went out with Tuna to watch a movie. The movie we watched was "Loopers". What i have to say about this movie hmmmm Time travel movies hurts my mind haha Though Joseph Gordon Levitt becoming a young Bruce Willis hmmmm i really dont know haha it kinda didnt synced for a while though. The movie was interesting i give it a 3.7 out of 5? i think la. I highly recommend you read the synopsis before you go watch the movie, otherwise, you will either end up in a debate with your friends or a major headache haha now go watch it!

I am a temporary Vegetarian for lunch today haha 

September 2012 Samura Visit

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR A BIGGER VIEW!

Yesterday was my 4th visit to Samura this year and its the third English Improvement Training Program held by the Alumni which i've joined.

The program is the last Alumni program of the year. This last program was a casual program, unlike the program before which we held a few months ago giving the form 5 students on inteverviews.This time we had casual talk sessions and a BBQ, wholly sponsored by the Alumni, oh yeah, there were ice cream too.The program is 100% voluntary based, optional for the kids to join, they had no idea there were barbeque and ice cream, untung kan?. The Alumni members that came (as usual) Hisyam, Me, Izyan, Rob Thomas!, Kayla and two new faces, Nada and Zoey. Only Izyan and Me were from the batch 25, the rest were from batch 21.


I started my journey from Shah Alam around noon, went to Subang Permai to pick up Izyan from her house, then continued to Muar. We arrived Muar around 3 ,went to our school freshen up at the school. I managed to meet my "anak buah" ceh haha, "adik buah" la at 4 Tegas, as they were studying for their finals. (rajin betul budak2 sekarang ni)

Ahh yes, the famous Ledang Landmark

Form 5 kids skipping a program at the hall and here they are....

After that, we headed to Wetex Parade, yes the famous "MID VALLEY OF MUAR" haha. MY GOSH! The place had went through a transformation, THERE WAS A BASKIN ROBBINS AND A SUSHI KING!!!! SERIOUS SHIT WEH! haha Yan and me couldnt control ourselves from the excitement and decided to pleasure ourselves for a treat at the Sushi King outlet.

Baskin Robbins

Sushi King!

After our short visit to wetex, we dropped by the Murtabak Singapore Restaurant near school to meet up with the other alumni members.

Batch 21 Alumni Members

Kayla, Nada, Zoey, Hisyam

At school, we hung out by the batch monuments, the dudes from Batch 21 werent so happy that their's got demolished haha Oh well, mine is still there :D There were few more monuments since i left school a few years ago, it is kinda looking like some kind of disaster memorial center or somesort, with names engraved on the stone! okayh, the names were on acrylic, cheap and fast to produce.

While we were waiting for the program to start, entertainment! haha Oh, now the jocks are no longer the rugby dudes,move away, its ZAPIN NOW BITCHES!

And the school are getting better and better with zapin, continuing the traditional malay culture i guess? i hope they would do a hybrid dance, mixing zapin with shuffle or break dance, it would be epic! 

Then program started, we had a casual chat session, IN ENGLISH with the students, it was their time to let the world know what is going on in their minds.... something like that haha there werent much photos because we were busy eating Barbecue and Ice Cream haha Anyway, the form 5 students had a good time and they had a chance to speak out, since they have like around 2 months of school left. Many untold stories were told.... high school drama, as usual.

This is Omar, the younger brother to my classmate Maryam Kirana when i was in form 4 and form 5

Faci's with Miss Ida

After the program, we went out for a late night supper at D'Teratak. Hung out with the Greater Alumnis, cheh haha since me and yan were the only young ones. Had quite of a conversation about hospitals. It was a great night, Yan and the girls slept at a nearby hotel. The guys headed back to Aspura and slept at the Sick Bay. The next morning, we had quite of an awakening, there was room service! well, sort of haha The form 4 were appointed to clean up their "Asrama" including the sick bay, the kids came in and was like, bang, boleh kami kemas? and i was like, hey hisyam, we fuckin have room service! haha 

I manage to get this snapshot of them cleaning the room. i just lay down the bed, likeabawse!

Then we hung out by the pond watched the kids cleaning the pond

RAWR! the turtle goes. Heard stories that this turtle was stolen from somewhere and brought to Aspura by batch 26

Clean it pansies, Clean!

Back when i was in Form 4, i actually slipped and fell into this pond once, i was chasing the Fish in the middle of the night, luckily no one saw my fall... 

Then we heard some noise of kids screaming, here is what we discovered,

The kid behind is wearing a V-NECK! (if u know what i mean haha) scroll down meme style

Rob and me told these kids to do it to Hisyam, but hmmm tak jd..

Kayla posing with his Hot Pants haha

We head out for breakfast around 1030, as usual, satay muar is a must. Hisyam got disturbed by a woman hobo haha! sumpah scary and lawak at the same time hahaha  kesian hisyam, mangsa keadaan.... Breakfast was a treat by Rob, thank you Rob.

Overall, i had a lot of fun, it was fun meeting these guys and seeing these kids so keen to volunteer for the program. I hope i get join the next program due early next year :D
