I remember for one of my 2D classes we had to make a short stop-motion film. The lesson was 3hrs and after a brief talk from the lecturer abt the day's work we started shooting the stop-motion films. And our lead actors are actually LEGO figures...
My lecturer had gotten those Legos and we were to think of a story for those characters...we were allowed to roam around campus for the shoot...i remember being very thrilled for this mini-project cos there's 'shooting' to do...i love shooting stuff...
It was not until we actually started arranging the figures and arranging their actions that i realise how tedious the work can be. If u want it to be smoother u would have to shoot more pics, and that means more work in the editing department later...and every place the figures steps on have to be precise so that it looks okay...even tho it was tedious, i loved every minute of it...
I remember we did our guy being eaten by a shark for not obeying the beach rules. LOL.
We rushed back to edit it and in the end every group's work was displayed in the class...by the end of the lesson i was kinda high from all that work...having done the thing myself i knew how much effort and time was spent to make a stop-motion film that doesn't last for a minute...and it took us 2hrs+ to devise the story and shoot it...2hrs for a 30second film.
Now. Here comes the main point.
I saw this on youtube just now. Its another Lego stop-motion film. Mind you, it is almost 14mins long. I really salute the ppl who made this. To set the pace together with the music. Requires so much time and effort...ppl, give this video a watch....especially my classmates...cos we all did the legos rite guys? Heheheh....ENJOY THE SHOW!!!

Amazing. Wonder how much time they spent on that. And how many shots they got! Lol...

Funny funny funny....my gosh!!!! xD
Yo everyone...me is finally in kuching liao...before i start blogging abt stuff that happened when i was gone from here, i'd like to blog about this first....
One of the perks in staying here was of course the wireless....and i finally went to youtube to check out sum vids i've been wanting to see...and then i came up with really hilarious ones...
Final Fantasy mixed with Disney gave you Kingdom Hearts, the ultra fun game that won critics and players alike. But what if you mix Final Fantasy and Michael Jackson???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqEhFaBW4I8&feature=related
That WAS HILARIOUS!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!! The Final Fantasy was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and the dance is obviously from Jackson's infamous Thriller. I still remember when this Final Fantasy came out years ago there was much hoopla on the lead actress's hair(i forgot her name in the film, sorry), cos in that year 3D modelling wasn't what it was like now, but that was a breakthrough then.
Omg i need to rewatch that again. Effing funny!!!! Jacky!! Have u seen this before!!!! LOL!!!!!
Actually i was looking for the video where the Phillipines prisoners danced to MJ's Thriller...the video that made them infamous...then i kinda clicked on this link....ahhahahah FUNNY SHIT!!!
*clicks and watches again* i think i'll continue search for MJ vids that i nvr seen before to ease my boredom....he is really entertaining...rest in peace...
right. i know i'm obsessed. SHUT UP. LOL.

Who am i? I think i lost myself. Again. I feel so....i don't know. This week seems odd. Very odd. I'm descending deeper and deeper into my own empty depths again.
Back to where i was once. Back...to a place i thought i wouldn't visit again.
Now i'm sinking. Deeper and deeper into this darkness.
It all feels chillingly familiar.

Names....names.
My dear friend is leaving tomorrow for China. I hope she takes good care of herself over there. Wish her a safe flight. Will see her when she flies back!! =D
I forgot to mention in my previous post that on sunday that there was a photography exhibition in Bintang Megamall that day, organised by the Miri Photographic Society. I was like, was there such a group? lol...noobness...
The photos are okay(sorry peeps i didnt take any pics)..there were portrait shots, landscape shots. I was particularly impressed with some of the pics one of the photographers took during the Miri International Jazz Festival sometime earlier this year. It looked so good, i wished i had attended the music fest! Lol! I learn alot that day just looking at the pics...
Anyway, i really had alot to write about...i've been thinking alot these days...lols..i read before that it is a Virgo's characteristic that they are thinking ALL THE TIME. Like, the mind is buzzed with thoughts. I dunno abt other Virgoes. But for me that's accurate. Sigh. But thinking alot doesnt mean i'm very clever...just saying. Lol.
Anyway wanna announce something here....lol. I finally thought of a name for my production company. Lol....long story peeps...
You see, the dream of having my own production company/studio began approximately 3 years ago. People had been asking me what do i want in the future. What will i do in the future. Well i told one of them abt this one day.
Me : "I want to have my own production company."
Him : "Really? Wow. Perhaps you can produce my first music video."
=.=" See, he was a boy with dreams too. He had dreams of being this rock star. He's even in a band. I was surprised when he said that. Because other people, when i told them abt the production thing, they would react with a question "Really? Produce what? WHAT is the company about anyway?"
He was the only one who understood what i meant when i told him. He didn't ask those questions. He knew straightaway.
I wanted to produce everything. Songs, videos, films. But how do i say it? They don't understand why a science student would want to dabble into such stuff. I don't even tell this to my folks. To them, my future is only secure if i find a stable job that will keep food on the table. Things like films, entertainment, it's either u got luck, or u dont. A chance. An opportunity. What if it never came? And what talent i had then, in this area? I had no prior knowledge and experience in this field. What do i know?
Nothing.
Now, with a chance of learning something in uni, i felt i could do it. I felt...it's possible again. WHatever it is, i'm determined to make this come true. I dunno how i'm going to do it. But i must make sure i do it, somehow. Nothing is impossible. It might happen.
So! I came up with a name. I'm very bad at names. I do hope no one had the name already, if not, i will have to rethink a name again. Lol. I've been trying to create new typography for the name, but i just ended scraping everything. So for now just keeping it in my head...
Chainlight Productions. What do u think?
I've got another though. Just in case. Its Darklight Productions.
Just in case u are wondering, there IS a reason why i wanted to use 'Light' in the names. I won't say it here; maybe i'll leave it to u to guess... ;)
So people, what do u think of the names? Appreciate it if there's feedback on this one...=)) Thanks in advance~~~
Edited some photos i took. Seriously considering creating a photo site. Maybe deviantart should do it? After all i could fit other crafts into DA. Argh. Domain name to think of again. Headache, headache...
Anyway, i've been thinking alot. I think i need someone to talk to. I hardly talk these days. I can only release.....by writing. Or drawing. Somehow it calms me down. Somehow i feel better. And that's good.

Two days in miri....
The brightest are often the most tragic.
25/7 - A month had passed since MJ's death, and yet i still do not know where is his body and why he died. I had came across articles though, that said of what killed him. I think its pretty obvious what killed him; i was more curious about HOW he died.

But anyway, i didn't do any of those 'remembering him' or 'commemorating him' stuff on this day. Instead i was practically everywhere in town, patiently waiting fro night to fall so i could go online during dinnertime, in KFC no less. Results are out already, and i still don't know what mine was(i think i might be the last one in my class again. Which i kinda got used to since i'm always last in everything compared to my fellow classmates), but i decided to enrol myself in second semester anyway. I had delayed my enrolment till kinda late, patly because i was waiting for my appeal results. It had yet to come. And reenrolment deadline was very near, so yeah..
Spent the night kinda frustrated...cos no one was online(ppl i wanted to talk to)..and no one returned the texts i sent out...lol..the whole night i'm kinda moody cos i'm afraid i can't make the enrolment cos i didn't know my very own damned programme code. And my freaking battery was running out and those workers kept walking past me, as if i should have left when i finished eating straightaway...
Luckily one of my classmates online...so i asked him....here wanna say THANKS to Dennis...sorry if i seemed abrupt to leave the conversation after thanking him in MSN..my battery running out and i had to send the form asap...thankfully everything went good...
Then we went to Imperial for awhile...to change the sweets mum bought cos she bought the wrong ones =.=" i went pass the camera shop on my way to check if the magazine shop is open...and i saw the camera model i want has sold out...=(((( No peeps....its just a normal digital camera...not the DSLR i wanted(that'll come in the future....when i work)
I went super moody after knowing that...and the mag shop had closed(i still looking for the Rolling Stones mag)...lol..and then i went to sleep slightly feeling better after watching some SNL clips on Star World...laughed till tears came out...very funny...lol....needed that cos i'm kinda disappointed with my friends that night...then i assured myself maybe they are busy(one of them, i do know she's busy, and i guessed correctly~)..hmmmm... =/
26/7 - As usual, started the day with b'fast out in town then went like almost everywhere. Shopping and stuff...we went back to the stall opposite Boulevard which sell kuih...the boss must be happy...yesterday and today we bought so many kuih from her...haha...last week too...lol...she recognise us liao...
So i continued my search for the Rolling Stones mag. I hadn't given up hope. So i went to Popular to check again..i pushed back some mags and there it is! A Rolling Stones mag! But it wasn't the one i want...the cover is a girl(i didn't see who it was, i don't care) whose hair just abt covered her boobs =.=" I saw that it's the July issue. KINDA NEW!!! And i smacked my head why last week i didn't push mags here and there to check if the one i wanted is there. Oh wells. My memory served me right after all. The only place in Miri where i can find Rolling Stones mag is in Popular...but i think this is the first time i see it so update..usually issues come late, like Kiddo says..then i went to another store downstairs and i found some old editions...they do not have the latest one...so, Popular is the only place...
I used to think "Who in Miri reads Rolling Stones?" when i saw one copy in Popular years ago. Now fate does have a way playing with you doesn't it? Now i want a copy, and it isn't in sights. I'm actually asking that question again just 2 weeks before. "Who would want to read those?" i said while looking at 4 different magazines on TATTOOS. Yep. Tattoo mags. With furious-looking women with those furious-looking tats they had on their body and arm. Good god. Or maybe i was just frustrated that they didn't sell the RS i want. xP Who knows? Maybe years later i'll be searching for 'tat mags' to look for cool tat designs...
Then i went into Speedy, and one thing caught my eye: a rectangular box with MJ's eyes sans-HIStory album. Behind the box was a bag to put that box in. Curious i took and had a look at it. It was a box set with 10 discs, each disc attributing to each of his solo albums he released. I was like 'WOW!' then i turned it over and looked at the price: it would cost me $100 to own it. =.=" The collector side of me wants it. The logical side of me tells me not to buy it, despite it being priced very well (a standalone album costs at least $30. Buying 10 would amount to at least $300). And i gave it a thought...even if i had the 10 discs...what about the album covers and the lyrics and photos that come with it? I would have none of it..what's the point of owning a disc of an album withoust the stuff that comes with it?
I was very tempted. But, i decided, it shall be something i buy when i'm a working person again. I can't even afford a new camera now. Or even a new phone. I should spend wisely. When the time comes, i'll start to build my collection. My own library of books and mags. My own personal album/disc collection. ^^ OHH YEAHHH....
The day's emotions wore me out. Bad moods punctuated by sudden excitements and thrills. I was kinda exhausted, psychologically. I texted my frens again. Only to find out they received naught of my texts last night. o.O What the hell! I sent out nearly 10 msgs to 3 people, getting no reply, i should have known!!! Sweat. and...i was mad for nothing. sweat. Why does it seem my intelligence is getting away from me one by one.... =.="
But thankfully i settled the matter...sigh...i guess...my 'Yellow Man' didn't follow me into KFC that night. Maybe he was on diet. Maybe KFC ain't his thing. =.="" Gosh i should stop saying lame jokes. I wonder if anyone even got it. HAHAHAHAH~~~
Back at home we cut grass. I was tasked to sweep the grass, as always. I wore my old Taekwondo shoes to sweep grass, wearing a new cap Dad brought back yesterday. I'll only wear it when i'm working. When i finished everything, i was tired, but happy i got a good workout. I hadn't really sweated much since coming back, so it felt great, although i'm tired physically. To celebrate, i even danced a sequence of 'Beat It'. I managed to learn one part of the choreography by watching it numerous times. I'm not a good dancer. But at least i got one of the routines in my head now...
SO we went back KB that night after dinner. It was to be the last Sunday i'll spend in KB again.
Trivia : What is the opposite of deja vu? The answer is a situation where you find urself getting more and more unfamiliar with whatever you are experiencing in that moment. I had numerous incidents like that. Once, i read a word which i knew i read it before, but it just felt so alien to me at the time. The word is placard.I had experienced jamais vu!

Rolling Stones
Hi everyone...back for another quickie post. I've been trying to find the latest Rolling Stones magazine everywhere and in every bookstore i know over here, but still cant find it. It should be out by now. Perhaps someone bought it. Or...i dunno. But i REALLY wanna buy this special edition..LOLs...
Can anyone tell me where i can get it????? =))) Would really appreciate it if u found it somewhere in some bookstores or what. Heeheh....
THAT IS THE COVER. Its a commemorative issue.
Yes....now you know why i want this issue. xDDD I never bought Rolling Stones before, this gonna be my first if i did buy one. I also bought my first ever Time mag the other day....and yeah...cos he's on the cover too and i want to collect it!!!!
Did you know : The song 'Stranger in Moscow' was written by MJ while he was there. He sometimes went out in the middle of the night alone(even in his peak of popularity) and walk the streets, hoping to meet someone who would talk to him. He is THAT lonely. This song is a very beautiful 'emo lonely' song in my opinion. Guys if u can give it a listen yea! And look out for that music video....LOL.....

Update~
So i'm finally back home..lil updates...no pics....cos i know my internet sucks and it gonna take forever.
2/7 - Parted with my mates in Kuching and arrived in Miri around 5.45pm. Mum was late to pick us up by a few mins, but i am overjoyed to see her again. Went to eat dinner..then we passed by ex-Bintang Plaza..which is now known as Bintang Megamall...and it looks awesome and big from the outside...even tho construction not really finished...but the expansion allowed shops like Big Donut & Sushi King to make their debuts in Miri. And Popular is expanded...really big..even Famous Amos got their own shoplot liao..instead of the tiny stall beside McD...lol. Dad got me a new watch and i felt really guilty cos i lost his phone and i havent told parents yet. DIE...then when return home at night i tried to online but no wifi...sad...
3/7 - parents finally know abt phone. and in such a stupid way.
So my dad wanted to buy aomething, and asked me to sit in the driver's seat to jaga the car in case any cops come..since we're not exactly in a parking area. so i sat there and when he got back and i returned to my seat in the back i realised i left my phone on his seat. he saw it and asked 'who's phone is this?' i immediately took it and kept reallly quiet. i know my heart was beating really fast. dad said nothing. but moments later mum asked me if i wanna have my sim card checked(cos there's a minor problem when she texted me last time)...then dad is like 'phone? oredi change phone loh!' and mum demanded to look at my phone. I'm like, uh oh this is it. so i gave her my phone and she's like 'whoa new phone ho? where's the old one?'
'I lost it.' She paused a little and continued to look at me and said 'What?' Then i repeated 'It's gone.' Dad, who was driving shook his head a little and i can practically feel the anger seeping from him. Then all hell breaks loose...mum starts her lecturing...and dad adds in once in a while to spice up the lecture a little...sweatt...and i feel really really bad....sigh....oh wells. at least now they know. and i shant have to hide whenever i text my fren LOL. and mum is kinda suspicious why i keep texting...she even ask me if i'm texting bf =.='' SWEAT!!

What's so great about the match that day? It was a day when history is made, with Federer winning his 15th Grand Slam, surpassing the record held by Pete Sampras. Federer is a legend baby. Credits to Roddick for playing well too!

So my dad wanted to buy aomething, and asked me to sit in the driver's seat to jaga the car in case any cops come..since we're not exactly in a parking area. so i sat there and when he got back and i returned to my seat in the back i realised i left my phone on his seat. he saw it and asked 'who's phone is this?' i immediately took it and kept reallly quiet. i know my heart was beating really fast. dad said nothing. but moments later mum asked me if i wanna have my sim card checked(cos there's a minor problem when she texted me last time)...then dad is like 'phone? oredi change phone loh!' and mum demanded to look at my phone. I'm like, uh oh this is it. so i gave her my phone and she's like 'whoa new phone ho? where's the old one?'
'I lost it.' She paused a little and continued to look at me and said 'What?' Then i repeated 'It's gone.' Dad, who was driving shook his head a little and i can practically feel the anger seeping from him. Then all hell breaks loose...mum starts her lecturing...and dad adds in once in a while to spice up the lecture a little...sweatt...and i feel really really bad....sigh....oh wells. at least now they know. and i shant have to hide whenever i text my fren LOL. and mum is kinda suspicious why i keep texting...she even ask me if i'm texting bf =.='' SWEAT!!
and the rest of the day we went shopping then went back brunei in evening..got scanned for swine flu thing in brunei's imigration..but i passed...weird experience but cool...can see myself in infra red mode hehehe sakai i know. then went back kb house and bro start playing ps2 while me tried to online...but ended up burning dad's MJ cd into my lappie....and on sweat thing happen...
i was looking at the pics me and bro took in the plane (ahem. camwhoring sessions =.=")...and mum came in and saw a glimpse of it...then she came over beside me and ask me to show her the pics...i show her lo..the pics from the beginning of the batch(of SCR Express foods and Spring)..but she was disinterested..keep telling me to show her the pics of 'the boy'...walao...she thought i got bf pic..sweat...i keep saying dun have and told her its brother...she dun really believe lo...in the end she just walked away without finish looking at the pics...sweat...she so suspicious ever since i keep texting in miri...sweat la...where got ppl want me....ahhaha...soon after that i watched Transformers 1 again wiht bro...sweat...watch so many times liao.....LOL...then mum had to nag me to go slp....zzzz...
4/7 - woke up really late..a.round 12 pm...sweatt...woke up really hotthen spent the whole day trying to watch my movies in hdd but it cant play...eneded up wathcing dad's dvd of Bolt and Sniper...cool..spent day watching Wimbledon ladies singles final...sweat..my fav player lost...but oh well...then watch MJ tribute again...which irks mum cos she's starting to tire of hearing his songs lmao~~in the end i watch dad's copy of MJ's Bucharest concert till 1or 2am....lols...mum is seriously freaking out over my late night sleeping schedule...but one word...MJ is amazing!! x)
5/7 - woke up go tamu with mum. long time din go. we usually go there on sundays if we are not in miri, and if we are going to bandar. bought food and kuih. then got ready to go bandar!! arrived there around 2hrs later..shopped and went visit my aunt...then shop summore...i tot of Jacky...but i haven had his brunei numberr..lols...sorry jacky din go find u!! then we went back...and then i watch Wimbledon men's singles final....this time my fav did won...ALL HAIL ROGER....the whole match went till 1.30am and my mum was livid that i stayed up so late to watch it...LOL...
6/7 - i still haven find my bru frens. oh wells. i'm gonna contact them later...and finally i online. sweat. And the beach...i must return to the beach soon~~
Trivia : Among the celebs who came and watched the Wimbledon final on sunday are tennis greats Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras, movie director Woody Allen, actor Russell Crowe & Man Utd coach Sir Alex Ferguson. What's so great about the match that day? It was a day when history is made, with Federer winning his 15th Grand Slam, surpassing the record held by Pete Sampras. Federer is a legend baby. Credits to Roddick for playing well too!

Back~~
So i'm flying back to Miri today. I cant believe i am leaving Kuching already. I can almost feel the day when i come here...its like so near, it happened yesterday...
What have i gained from my nearly 17 weeks here. Heh. Lots. I gained knowledge. Gained secrets. Gained wisdom. Gained friends. Gained influence. Gained experience. Gained enemies. Gained power. All in all, i gained a lot of stuff, not including fat, of course. HAHA.
But i also lost many things. I lost money, my phone, FRIENDS, health, respect and chances, among many others.
Its funny how things turn out sometimes. The people u thought u are clicking with, ended up isolating u. By week 3 i had myself a group to hang out with, the people who just cracks me up and their crazy attitude absolutely means we were all having fun almost all the time. But they are not those that will talk deep, if u know what i mean. Maybe they do talk deep, but..not with me. And i realise that these are a group of people who tend to classify people. Par tof me is hating it...but..i just wasnt strong enuff to stand up to myself i guess...
Funny? How funny? The thing is, when i ws with them, the people we all diss...in the end actually helped me. Ironic rite? I guess that's what getting a taste of ur own med tastes like. This guy whom they casted away...now i ended up like him. Dude now i feel how u felt, sorry dude. And the people we made fun of...we actually shared the same thing. Victims of classification, eh?
But i am lucky. Towards the end of the sem i found myself again. With the help of ppl i can trust, of course. If not...i'm seriously gonna be on the way to derail myself..I made frens with my classmates(allrite, i admit, i'm not the mixing type...there are still some ppl in my class i haven talked to yet =.=")..and it kinda got me back together...so all's not lost....ehhehe...wanna thank them for all they've done..whether they had realised it or not...
All in all, for the weeks i spent in Kuching, i learnt alot. And i hope i did grow up a bit here. I get to see alot of stuff, learn more abt Kuching and its people, its food. And i can't help but feel something as i am preparing to fly back home.
I am already in love with the city. *finished editing 6/7*
Thanks to Bunny and Greg for accompanying to airport. I really left with a heavy heart!! =)

Another outing..before i leave kuching 30/6
One more day left before i leave Kuching...not sure if i am coming back bext sem, so making use of the remaining days to go out and try more local food...We originally planned to go Damai..but weather not nice, plus its kinda late for the trip since everyone wake up late LOL. In the end we just go (late) lunch first...then pick up Greg~~
Before lunch we went and buy meds for our sick frens....near Tabuan Jaya there...hehe....like how greg say...ahpek and amah...HAHAHAH....then we bring to them loh...hope they get well soon...while we bought the 'liang teh' for Ducam we also bought ourselves those 'cooling teas'...
Then we stopped by a stall near Boulevard..which sells siobhee, pau and fresh soya and sugar-cane drinks...greg and sharon seems excited about it...and the customers come non-stop...really laku ehh the business!!
Our 'pau's and soya bean drinks~~
Overall the food is good. I tapau one for my bro. The siobhee filling is quite unlike those in Miri..there isnt any prawn..but nice too. The pau is ok...but i tink Miri's one slightly better...or maybe its cos i didn't order their 'signature' pau? xD Soya drink...heheh...still lose to the one i tried in Johor last time...but i tink quite good actually...fresh...if u guys go johor...i bring u to the stall sell soya bean...if i remember the road, that is... xDD
Then we went watch movie. 'I Love You Man' no more, 'Night At Museum 2' no more, 'Terminator: Salvation' not ngam the time, so do 'Ice Age 3', which premiered yesterday. So we went for Transformers 2 instead and got in into the 5pm slot...thankfully got seats...and these are our food for the movie~~
We came out from the movie around 7.15pm. Wanna hear my thoughts on the movie? I wont spoil yet...but here are my views...
*Mini Movie Review*
To sum the movie up, i'd give it a 'visually appealing and exciting, but shallow in plot and storyline'. Yes. The movie is cool, more action scenes, better fight sequences. The transformations still look UBER COOL. But i cant say the same for the storyline. I actually had a feeling before the movie premiered that i am going to be disappointed by this movie, cos of its 'storyline' i first saw in the trailers. And boy, i was right. The jokes, too much, too cheesy and badly executed by a pair of twins(yes, THE twins everyone is talking about on the net, Skids & Mudflaps. U can read all about the hoo-haa in movie news), not to mention some cheesy secondary characters. That's not too say the movie doesnt have its funny moments tho. Another thing is i felt, the overexploitation of Megan Fox. Sure, she's HOT, but i get a horrible feeling she's in this movie just to please fanboys who drool over her. Oh the fans will be pleased all right; Megan showing off those thighs..Megan '撒娇'...Megan this, Megan that...i cant help but feel for the girl. She should not be in this movie just for that! At least make her more important!! Grr!!
The film is disapproved by most critics and well received by the casual audience. Analysts noted that it is a summer blockbuster movie after all, the movie is just to entertain, and it did entertain lots of ppl. However, to me, a movie without good storyline is flawed even tho i was entertained very much. Look, this film can be BOTH stunning and clever in terms of storyline. Just like the first one. But, someone destroyed it with poor storyboarding. I still prefer the first one. This one? 2/5, purely for the super cool special effects.
What a letdown. =((
I'm not alone. He says it too. *warning: spoiler alert* http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/smg-transformers-10-questions.html (if u dun want to spoil urself rotten pls be wise and do not click the link)
It really does not make much sense.
*end of movie review* >.<
So after that sharon invited us to dine with her friend in Sushi King...but by that time my headache had gone worse, and i was feeling very sick. Felt like i want to throw up. I think its cos of the soya drink. I cant tolerate soya well...and i dont like to drink it as a result. But hell, the famous stall, of cos i must try, isnt it?? xD In the end Sharon put me back in campus and i straightaway pengsan on my bed after going to the library give the pau to my brother. I did not puke on the way, thank god....
To counter my headaches, i usually try sleep it off. U guys can try. U know, better than popping pills. I always try to avoid pills and meds if i can help it. ^^
So that's what happened yesterday. Time to start packing...for i shall see home tomorrow.
An opinion : I always thought right, if u wanna know if a food is nice or not, u let someone who dislikes it taste it. Like I dont eat chilli. But if u let me taste a chilli and i say its good, then its good. This happened with the KFC Life Thai Chilli sauce. Mum persuaded me to try, and so i tried..and WALAO. I fell in love. I think till now, that chilli sauce still the best. I DISLIKE McD chilli sauce. Kimball, u lose.
Another personal experience is the soya bean in Johor. After countless persuasion by my uncle to try, i tried it. And it was really good(but i still get stomach reactions from it >.<). I still wouldnt order it if i can, but i would recommend it to anyone.
People...does my theory stand corrected? Comment ya....what u think abt my 'theory'... thanks~~

I think its called '夏茶'..or 'summer tea'...LOL...the taste not bad...not too bitter...unlike any of the herbal tea i drank...i tink this is my first 'summer tea'...
Then we stopped by a stall near Boulevard..which sells siobhee, pau and fresh soya and sugar-cane drinks...greg and sharon seems excited about it...and the customers come non-stop...really laku ehh the business!!
Siobhee...or siew mai...or shao mai~~
Our 'pau's and soya bean drinks~~
