Typo Chemistery

It is Chemistery or Chemistry? This was what the teacher wrote on the whiteboard before the Chemistry paper started. My friend saw that first and we were laughing at it. Is it the teacher is not English literate or he was just following what was writing on the title ofexam question paper? Surprisingly, the title was showing Chemistery on the question paper. Well, which is the correct one?

During this exam period, we got a lot free time between the interval of different papers. Though, most of the people used it on chatting with each other instead of doing the last minute revision. It’s so noisy in class and it’s pretty hard for people to make the facts to go into their mind. So people would rather talk then read.

Today’s Mathematic paper was a little bit hard to me, there’s some question that I can’t work out and I just realise that I am getting bad in Maths. Seriously, I need to work up on it already.

As for Chinese essay, I’m satisfied with what I have written. For the first time, I wrote over 3 pages. Although I told you that my Chinese suck, but I just use all those simple words, vocab and blog language. That’s the advantages of writting blog. Well, write more blog and improve your language. Yay!

Hong Kong Madame Tussauds Wax Musuem

Oww, this is like ages ago. No, it’s 10 weeks ago of me in Hong Kong. Yeah, finally I got a little spare time to look up in my photo album and upload the photos that I’ve taken in the Wax Musuem at The Peak Galleria, Hong Kong.

If it was not my brother, I would know that there’s such places in Hong Kong. This was my first time going into the Madame Tussauds wax museum. Museum is always boring but not the wax, because you can a lot of photos with “celebrities” in there. Do what you like because there’s just no one bother about you.

Ha! It’s not cheap. HK$140 per person, and me, mom and dad is a total of HK$420 (RM172). That’s a lot, but I really wanted to go in to take a look, since we got plenty of time in Hong Kong, seriously.

When going in, there’s there wax statue of Jackie Chan, though it is not allow of public photo, if you want to take photo with Jackie Chan, you have to use their camera and buy their prints. Boo! I rather go in and use my camera. Just forget about Jackie Chan.

There’s plenty for you to take photo with. Some looks exactly like the real one, some doesn’t, like Jay Chou.

Haha. If you try to look into the pants, you’ll see no dick. It’s pretty quiet on that day, maybe it’s a working day or people don’t want to spend to visit it. You can just like run around as you like. So we spent like 1 and a half hour inside taking photos. Of course I took a lot, but also filter a lot not nice one, and just share something good. =)

Lastly, I manage to dig Andy Lau’s nos.

Light Trail

Taken this while taking the free cart ride at Macau’s Fisherman Wraft. You can play with your camera too to create this effect. Set your camera to Shutter Priority (S/Tv), then set the shutter speed to slowest, it’s something like 1/60, you set to more than 1″, if your camera don’t have this feature, you can set scene mode to night scene, then set the ISO to the lowest.

Beautiful?

Macau Fisherman’s Wharf

It’s just a little sight seeing at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf. I did not went into any of the theme park there as it’s also closed at night. Though, dad and mom wouldn’t want to go with me if it’s open. Nevermind, I’ll go to Macau again in the future.

At first, I thought this Fisherman’s Wharf was just something like Gurney Drive, for you walk along the pathway at seaside, but it’s not. It’s actually a theme park with a few little casinos. It’s pretty cool, they got a Tang Dynasty Fotress, a fake volcano, Aladdin’s Fort, downsized Colosseum. I didn’t go chance to know about it until I came back home and do some surfing about it on the Internet.

We just did little bit of walk around at the area. It’s pretty quiet there at night and it’s very beautiful and clean!

It’s right opposite the famous Sands casino, just walk across the road and you get the free shuttle bus back to Venetian Macau at Sands.

This place is one of the attraction in Macau, if you found yourself bored with casino, take a walk at here. I think it’s fun.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Do you know what is Sudden Cardiac Arrest? People here more likely to refer it as heart attack. It’s actually refers to natural death from cardiac causes but this is very scary, because numbers indicate that 325k people are killed by Sudden Cardiac Arrest a year or nearly 900 per day in United States.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest must be treated within 4 to 6 minutes from the on set of SCA or else the patient will be dead eventually. Are you at risk for SCA? Find out more of the symptoms of a heart attack and learn more about Sudden Cardiac Arrest now.

Don’t play play, this is a serious thing and fatal.

1am

It’s 1am and of course I still haven’t sleep. Feel like touching this, touching that. I can’t concentrate on my book. In order to make thing goes into my mind, I have to touch, else it won’t. Reading my Chinese, please don’t follow my steps to study at the eleventh hour. It’s not good for health, although I am a good student. Haha.

My ultra messy desk, papers and notes everywhere, on the floor, bed too!

I am hungry at the moment, Chachos is nice! I like the Curry and the Cheese one. Well, the coffee doesn’t really work because it’s so sweet. I guess the milk is more than the caffein in it.

Well shit, I suck in Chinese paper. Physics? I have gone through everything and hope I can answer the question tomorrow. Ok, I’ll go to bed in 15 minutes.

Reflection on my window

The window in front of my working, study desk serve well as a mirror too besides showing me nice view of Gurney Drive. I was too bored doing my revision and took out my camera and snap! Yo.

Walking up Penang Hill

It’s a long way from the bottom of the hill, from the road beside Penang Botanical Garden, walking up to the top of Penang Hill, highest place in Penang Island. I took part in the Climb for Environment event last week and I bought my camera along too. It’s troublesome man and a little bit heavy, cause I still have water bottle with me and extra shirt.

A path to unknown place. If I am not mistaken, the X was sprayed by my school to indicate it’s not the route for the hiking activity organized by my school.

This arrow too. Along the way, you will also see CL, ->23, sort of on the road and rocks.

Not so sunny day that was.

When you see this, you know you gonna reach the top, but actually it’s not. There’s still like 15-30 minutes to go, depends on how fast you walk.

I found an Indian temple up there and even drop RM1 into the donation box. =)

Of my influence, more and more of my friends are getting themselves a DSLR. Good move, but without the skill and knowledge, it’s useless. Sony Alpha is a good choice for newcomer by the way, it’s cheap.

I love this photo, tweaked a little bit of the colour to make it more contrast. You can see the boring expression on the face of the little girl, there’s nothing much you can do up there. Playground, eat, photos.

You can catch a nice view of Georgetown and Farlim area, though it was pretty hazy that day.

RM3 for a single way ticket for the tram down the hill. Reaching Air Itam and takes about 30 minutes. Hot and cramp. Seldom get a chance to sit. Have to stand all the way down.
