Henry's birthday at KK-Box (07.03.2010)









We were celebrating Henry's birthday at KK-Box, Karamunsing on last Sunday. My job was to fetch the birthday boy, Henry in his church where is near the Sport Complex Likas but I was late for 1 hour. When I saw Henry was standing outside the church, I felt sorry to him. He showed me the way to go to Karamunsing because I do not familiar with that area. After 20 minutes, we arrive there and we received call from Keh Yee while I was looking for packing. They already wait for us inside the KK-Box.


Henry and I went to KK-Box after I was packing my car. We saw Keh Yee, Vivian and Raymond already waiting for us to come. We decided to choose Happy Hour Package from 2pm - 7pm for 8 persons. After we made reservation at the counter, we went to the other side of Karamunsing to check for the laptop and buy birthday cake for the birthday boy. Raymond and I went to Multibake to order Fresh Cream Fruit cake and we went to find the others at 3rd floor.


After a few moment, Kenny and God or Xiao Di Di come to join us. We went to Japanese Restaurant because Vivian was starving. We all laugh at her. Around 2pm, we went back to the KK-Box and Henry ordered us 2 jugs of beer, 1 jug of lemon tea and 1 jug of honey lemon. They all not yet feel very high and very shy to sing except for God. He is the one who controlling the microphone and the remote control.


Henry was forcing Raymond to drink the beer. Raymond got a little bit drunk just 1 glass of beer. His face was red like a tomato and he was getting high already on that time. Besides that, he sang the song very loud and flat. We wants to scold him already due to he was spoiling the song. Almost every songs are sad songs which selected by Vivian, Raymond and God. I can saw the birthday boy wants to scold people already because they sing sad songs during his birthday. Keh Yee and I were just watching at their funny moves.


Raymond and Kenny went to take the cake at Multibake around 4.00pm. They did send me an message and said that they already at outside the room but i did not read that message. Raymond bring the cake and Kenny switch off the light. Henry was surprise and we all sang him 3 version of birthday songs. After that, Henry made a wish and blew the candles. Vivian was very excited to slice the cake.


Kenny and Henry ordered 2 more jugs of beer and they already getting drunk except for God, keh Yee, Vivian and me. On the other hand, Vivian and God were high because of singing. I was the one who taking their pictures after Henry was drunk. My favorite picture is the one when Kenny was kissing God. Not totally kiss, they just acting. Both of them were regret to take that picture and ask me to delete it but I did not do that.


I did not join them to Center Point for dinner because my mom already called me. They did not want me to go home earlier but I manage to coax Henry to let me go earlier. I'm driving my car and they all went to other place.

I went out again with Vivian, Fitri, Raphl and Keh Yee on 5 March 2010 to 1 Borneo Hyper mall to eat at Sushi King Restaurant. This is the first time we hang out in 1 Borneo Hyper mall or 1B. I late again due to I was waiting for my sister's boyfriend to fetch us at home. But at last, my sister drove me to there because her boyfriend just finished his work and he can not comes to fetch us. I feel very sorry because Keh Yee, Alex and Vivian already at there.

Raphl and Fitri not arrive yet. I order 3 types of Sushi and 1 set of Unagi rice. After a moment, the waiter serves my meals. We eat and chat while waiting for both of them.


Finally, Raphl and Fitri reach there around 9.30pm and the Sushi King Restaurant is almost close. Moreover, we can not order the food anymore due to their kitchen has close. Both of them feel so angry and disappointed because they very hungry. I give them the Sushi that I ordered. Fitri puts a lot of Wasabi and we all just looking at him. We forgot to tell him that do not put many Wasabi in the soy sauce. His face was funny and he was having problem to swallow the Sushi.


We left the restaurant after we paid the bill. Then, we saw a tourist was lay-down on the floor in Pizza Hut Restaurant. Many people were surrounding the restaurant to see what happen to the tourist guy. A few minutes later, 7 persons of tourist brought that guy out from the restaurant which accompany by 2 safety guards. We can saw his month was bloody.

I went to Secret Recipe at Palm Square, Center Point to meet with my secondary best friends, Maysilina, Atika or Tiki and Ninapreet. We haven't meet for more than 2 years and we were gathering on 3 January 2010. I did not expect my friends will remember my birthday because they did not mention anythings on the phone. My mom asked me to bring my daddy along because she does not want me to drive alone in Kota Kinabalu. My mom though I already forgot the way to Center Point due to I just came back from Terengganu. As you know, I was working in Terengganu for almost 2 years.


I was parking my car in Segama near the Wisma Merdeka and my daddy went to my uncle's shop in Wisma Merdeka. Atika already called me many times and she was chasing me to come faster. How to be faster if I am walking to Center Point? Oh, my God. I took 15 minutes to arrive in Secret Recipe Restaurant with my tired face. I saw my friends were sitting near the window and they all looking at me with a big smile. I feel very sorry due to my late.


My friends ordered me a slice of Durian Cheese cake and they sang a birthday song for me. Everyone in the restaurant was looking at us that make me feel embarrassing and happy. I am very grateful to have those friends like them. I give my friends to try the cake but I forgot that Nina does not like the taste of durian and I really sorry about that. We had chit-chatting about our life, study, work and next gathering.


After that, Atika and I went to Games World to play the basketball and drum music while Nina and May went to shopping. Atika taught me how to play the drum music but I really really very dumb about that game. Nina and May met with us around 4.00pm and we decided to watch a movie - Sherlock Homes. The movie quite boring because the story not so interesting. Moreover, the ending of the movie was shuck.


Finally, we had finished watching the movie around 6.00pm. Four of guys very disappointed with the film. Suddenly, Nina pass to me a bag plastic and inside got a penguin doll with a birthday card. I was the first one to go back home because I were scared my daddy will get angry on me. So, i walk again to Segama and find my daddy. Thank you, my friends for the surprise that they had made.

We ordered 2 sets of chicken chop, 2 sets of lamb chop, 1 set of fish and chips, and 2 sets of mix lamb-chicken chop. I thought Raymond will order the Tiger beer but he did not. Wei Xiong and I were so disappointed with him because we wanted to see him on drunk.

After 20 minutes, the waitress serves us the food that ordered. We were shocked and also happy when we saw the quantity of the food. I had take some pictures for blogging purpose. The chicken chop was crispy, delicious and juicy which made me feel happy to eat it. In the other hand, the lamb chop was little bit over cooked. I am having problem to swallow it. The fish and chips is one of my favorite food in the restaurant.

Besides the food, the pricing is the reason we taking our dinner over there. I ordered mix lamb-chicken chop and fish and chips to my sister, the cost only RM 37.00. For me, the price still okay to me and reasonable. We all practice AA system which we paid for the meal that we ate. That is good for student like me.

In conclusion, my sister and I very enjoy to have dinner there. We already agree to bring my mom and my sister's boy friend to the restaurant for dinner. The place is no suitable to people who want a quiet place to relax their mind after work. This is because the place is quit noisy.

Jay Chou - My Idol





Jay Chou is a Taiwanese musician, singer, producer, actor and director who has won the World Music Award four times. He is well-known for composing all his own songs and songs for other singers. Jay Chou grew up in Linkou, Taipei County, Taiwan. Both of his parents were secondary school teachers. His mother taught fine arts while his father was a biology instructor.



His mother noticed his sensitivity to music and took him to piano lessons at the age of three. During his childhood, he was fascinated with capturing sounds and songs with his tape recorder, which he carried everywhere with him. In the third grade, he became interested in music theory and also started cello lessons. As an only child, he enjoyed being the family's center of attention. He loved to play piano, imitate TV actors, and perform magic tricks. His father left him when he was 14. As a result, he became reclusive and introverted. Although he had friends, he often preferred to be alone, listening to music, contemplating and daydreaming. At Dan Jiang Senior High School, he majored in piano and minored in cello. He showed talent for improvisation, became fond of pop music and began to write songs.


He graduated from high school with inadequate grades for university, so he prepared for military service, which was compulsory for all Taiwanese men at the age of 18. However, a sports injury triggered by an unexplainable and severe back pain eventually led to the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, a hereditary spine inflammation disease. As a result, he was exempted from conscription. Meanwhile, he found himself a job as a waiter. Without his knowing, his friend had entered both their names in a talent show called Super New Talent King. Although they did not win, the show's host Jacky Wu glances at Jay's music score and was impressed with its complexity.



Jacky Wu hired him as a contract composer and paired him with the novice lyricist Vincent Fang. Over the next two years he wrote songs for Mandarin pop artists, and also learned recording and sound mixing; his dedication was apparent as he even slept in the music studio. Jacky Wu's music studio was later sold to Alfa Music, and the new manager Yang Jun Rong asked him to release his own album. He already had an arsenal of songs he wrote for others but all had been rejected, so among those he chose 10 for his debut CD Jay that was released in 2000. The album established his reputation as a musically gifted singer-songwriter whose style is a fusion of R&B, rap, classical music, and yet distinctly Chinese. His fame spread quickly in Chinese-speaking regions including countries throughout Southeast Asia.



Since 2000, he has released one album per year, each selling several million copies, and has been recognized with hundreds of awards. In 2003, he was the cover story of Time magazine, acknowledging his influence on popular culture. He has held three world tours, "The One" (2002), "Incomparable" (2004) and "Jay Chou The World Tours" (2007-2008) performing in cities such as Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Las Vegas, Toronto and Vancouver. Unlike most singers, he has an enormous amount of creative control over his music. He is not only the songwriter but also the producer in all of his albums. Besides that, he is also the music director and also directs his own music videos since 2005.


While continuing to release an album yearly, he also entered the movie business with his debut role as the lead actor in Initial D which he won Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards in 2005. The following year, he was cast as a supporting character in the worldwide release of Curse of the Golden Flower, starring international Chinese stars Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li, giving Chou his brief but formal introduction to non-Chinese-speaking countries. In February 2007, he finally fulfilled his childhood dream of being a director in Secret, in which he also played the main character. In March 2007, his eight-year contract with Alfa Music ended. His manager Yang Jun Rong, and lyricist Vincent Fang co-founded a new record company, JVR Music through which he will continue his music career and fulfill his goal of fostering new singing talent.
