Pyrotechnically Stunned

20150328. Dad decoded to buy us a dinner at the Grand Bay View of Danga Bay Drive. We reached the restaurant to find a concert going on at Danga Bay; it was the 3rd day of the concert in conjuncture with the celebration of the coronation of Sultan Ibrahim of Johore.

i was so amazed. It's my very first time witnessing a full concert - though it's FOC. I'm so proud to be a Johorean: the lighting was superb, with the overwhelming sound system; It was the the first concert i attended, and it was held in JB.

Uriah See, Zachery See's brother was one of the invited singer. He learnt his music in the same music centre as mine, so, I'm naturally proud too, ha-ha. ( Though sometImes, some of us felt that he's overrated... goodluck for his upcoming EP anyway. )

The concert was supposed to be ending with a forework display. Indeed, it ended with the firework, but i thought t would be just some usual firework show and the ceremony would end in an unceremoniously brief way. in fact, i was, pyrotechnically stunned. The firework display was SOOOO BRILLIANT! It was the biggest and most awesome pyrotechnic display I have ever seen in my life. It was hard to believe that sich ostentatious and extravagant dosplay of firework has been showing in a Malaysia for a three consecutive days, let alone in a small city like JB.

It was said that the finale firework, which is on tomorrow, will be more grand. According to the masters of ceremony, more than 1 million Ringgot is accounted for that pyrotechnic stunt. Im stunned.

coronation cermony, while a revered world leader buys his ranch. T.T

i have been spending days with the band boys, practicing malays songs, for the big day, the coronation day. It had been fruitful. Their performance was averagely passable, but their reaction towards impromptu playing of not-so-familiar pices, their bravery, was encouraging, though it was mainly owing to the excitement that rippled through the crowd intermittently. Like I said, impressively remarkable for the Sec 1 juniors to play so fast, especially clarinet and tenor saxophone players. The overall performance, however, was not so pleasing. The standard, the quality of the music tone, tune, and strength of the band, declined. Not even a third of the last year's performance, let alone the previous years. Yet, there are rooms for improvements, as always.

somethIng worth celebrating for Johoreans.

Aisa=Elsa?



while we were celebrating, our neighbours cried and grieved for their great loss





No number of half mast flags can do justice for the great leader that will be forever etched into our hearts.






Because of him, Singaporeans today are enjoying a developed and modern society, an advanced world trade centre in the Asean, that's the envy of all nations, even the economical strong ones.

Rest in peace, Sir! You had built up Singapore as an economic powerhouse, and just like you had said, you got back an advanced nation in exchange of your entire life. Your efforts had paid off, and would continue to augur well as a telling example for the following generations.

... ... ... ...

He was infinitely far-sighted in his thought. His penetrating insights.
His sharp analysis.
His death, wasnt merely a loss to his family, or to his nation,
but the WORLD.
He is the world statesman of the first rank.

Let us say some PRAYER, for you and for me..

Yesterday, i heard form our teacher, our 'Shifu', our Calligraphy Guru,
That you had left us, for an eternal life.
That you had left us, for a better world.
That you, without formal goodbyes,
That you, without the cognizance of siblings,
That you, even, with the never-granted permission from your parents,
You, just bid a silence farewell, with all of us, to be with the ONE AND ALL that would love you better than us, than others...

On the night of my Daddy's birthday,
When my family and i,was silently celebrating his special day,
You, too, silently left us...

But you, left something behind, for us...

For the extreme grieves, to the family, you had repaid with 18 years of your angelic features and characters to your beloved...
For the unexpected loss, to the friends, you had left with us, laughters and camaraderies deeply insculpted in our hearts...

We will remember, that Vanesse Mok Ying Jie,
A special girl,
who loved to sing Girl Generations with me,
Who introduced Taetiso to me,
Who scored straight As in Spm 2014 with Spm leavers batch 1997,
Who, learnt Chinese Calligraphy and had a Bright Future. In this world.

Fare Thee Well. FAREWELL MY FRIEND.

How to make sushi on youselves?

I was yet another wonderful day. Mummy, Eric and I went to Gion's house to - learn -  make sushi !!!!

A few days before that, we bought all the ingredients at the japanese shop just below the japanese restaurant we ate in earlier before. Today, Gion's Mother and their maid, kakak Elein who has been working with them for more than 10 years, taught us how to make sushi ON OURSELVES.

HOW TO MAKE SUSHI ON YOUR OWN ?
Ingredient:
3.5 cup japanese rice
7 spoon vinegar ( 1 cup rice =2 sp vinegar)
2 cans of tuna flakes in sunflower oil
Japanese Mayonaise
Japanese cucumber
Japanese pickled carrot( Takuuwan沢庵 )
Crabmeat stick or Fried Fish Fillet
Japanese seaweed

Steps:
1. Cook the Japanese Rice. When the rice is cooked, season it with the vinegar. ( optional: you may sprinkle some sesame or seaweed flakes onto the rice to add flavours to it.)
2. Spread a piece of seaweed on the bamboo sheet specially used to make sushi rolls.
3. Spread the seasoned rice on that piece of seaweed and gently press and pressure the rice so that a uniform spread of rice is obtained.
4. Arrange all other ingradient on one side of the rice spread.
5. Roll it with the correct techniques.

The sushi roll is DONE. Haha.
Of course, making sushi is not so easy. As always, it is easier said than done. ><

Waiting for Chingay 2015

20150311.Chingay 2015 is happening exactly that night. It is hapenning. Then it happened. And Chinese New Year for Johorian,to be exact, Chiese in johor Bahru, abruptly ended, just... ended.

I waited for the arrival of this festival weeks before i know the precise date of it. Yet, as it approaches, i began to feel indifferent about it, not so excited about it. Not so sure about the reasons...

I waited for the night with Kennody n Ryan at CS since that very afternoon.. It could be said to be a total waste of time... haha!
Feeling silly, i followed them everywhere. Eating Nandos' for lunch, and leaving the restaurant with uneaten gastronomic savoury on the table just because they are full. Ignoring the fact that the three of us couldnt finish so many food, they still ordered. Eighty plus, for three teens, was a show of ostentation. About twelve bucks, was left untouched ; another twelve bucks, pathetically goes into the mouth of an observer, who disdainly disapprove such an act.

Another two hours was spent waiting in Starbucks. Sitting like a boss, spending one's time like there's nothing else to tend to throughout a supposed-to-be working day; visualizing that the world is all yours and everyone would be your follower-- which is definitely not gonna happen-- is not a thing for me, i guess.

Spending thriftily and wisely shall be my policy.  Good luck to me, who shall be goin' to lead a living in metropolitan KL! ^^
