326# Serpent Tongue

326# Serpent Tongue


"Jingle in the Jungle", they called it.

My batch mates managed to hold a "reptile show" (we called it) today as a fund-raising for the imu Christmas night and convocation magazine (i guess so).

Back to last week, a few of my batch mates (a lot of them actually) were asking around to sell the tickets for this reptile show.

To be honest, selling it at Rm10 for 3 was kind of expensive. Because initially i told myself it's not worth to pay to see something which i can easily see, something crawling on my wall and floor through out the day and night.

But that thinking has changed today.





Of course the reptiles shown are different then lizards crawling on the wall and floor.

The "Jingle in the Jungle" held today from 10.30am onwards. Quite a lot of them went there to support.

The first thing we saw was snakes. And snakes.





To be honest, i don't feel comfortable with snakes just like the rest of us do. Who don't afraid of them?

If i'm not wrong, there's this snake temple at penang. I went there was i was little, and i didn't touch any of them, even though i was given a chance.





The snake showned above is actually a Mangrove Cat Snake. Good name. There's actually snakes named after cat. This is just 1 out of the 4 which have names of "cat" in it.

Take note of that, they do eat there own kind even though it's just occasionally. This is something i never thought of. Maybe i have witnessed it before on the tv, but i still feel that this fact is something new to me.





Other than snakes, there were a few frogs there.

Check out this particular ones. If it wasn't labelled as "White Tree Frog", i'd assume that someone has poo poo-ed in this container.

This frog is just plain obese and it refused to react to its external environment. The rest of the frogs still move around though. And there were frogs there called "Pac man frog". Interesting.

Wonder what kind of food these "Pac man frog" feed themselves with. Round things that we see in the video game?





Hedgehogs. 3 of them, normal breed and the albino.

They are not reptile though.

There are no spikes, and they merely resembles guinea pigs or hamster to me (non halal according to kennysia). Anyway i still have no courage to touch them, but my friend did.

Quite funny that an animal which looks like mice eats cat food.





How can a reptile show show without the python?

This creature is huge, its diameter could be outnumbered than my forearm. Wonder how heavy it is.

2 chickens are fed to it weekly if i didn't hear wrongly. Guess it still eat something else other than that because i don't think 2 chickens is enough to last for a week, although they can survive long with limited food.





No one messes with the cobra. It was one of those snakes which were not carried out from the cage.

The cobra was sort of agitated, therefore it would raise its head up. I assume it is poisonous...

These snakes actually costs about hundreds. Anyone interested to have one?





To be honest, today is the first day i touched the snakes. They were cold, scaldy and heavy.

At first i was still afraid of it, but after seeing my friend held it, i dared myself to do the same.

Thus that's why i think that this show was worth to spend money on.





But i wouldn't kiss a snake. Even if you pay me RM10,000 for that. No.

Because i've watched Steven Chow's Kungfu Hustle. I know how would it be to be bitten by a snake on the mouth. Lol.



To be honest count: 3

325# Renal Failure


Another system assessment has ended.

One exam per month is been a norm for us in the university.

It's normal to see each of everyone study hard before exam, get stressed up before exam, and tulan after exam.

The tulaness may stay for quite sometime until you find something to distract yourself. Playing Dota is no longer the way to solve this therefore we are not practicing it since few months ago.

We went to mid valley tried to catch a movie. While on the way there, in the car, i spotted this in front of me.



At the back of the vehicle written "In situ".


Comon man, give me a break. Just finished from exam but for no reason this medical related term appeared in front of me. And it was at the back of a vehicle some more! What the heck was that supposed to mean? A brand?

After we got rid of this car, we saw another funny thing (supposedly) hap pend on the road. I asked chan who was on the wheels to stick closer so that i could get a clearer picture of it. But apparently i failed to do so.

But anyway...





Knn... Yaya right... that car was chasing some robber... A robber who stole semi value's book.

Reached at mid valley with the car parked at the Gardens. The parking fee costed me RM4 since it's counted by hour. Wonder if the parking at mid valley is charged at a lower rate.

If it does i'll freaking complain at them man. Consumers find no parking at mid valley and got led to parking at the Gardens without knowing, have to pay a higher price of parking fee, plus, and have to walk across the road to mid valley.

Knn.





Didn't realise that Christmas is near until i see this huge Christmas tree at the Gardens. Sigh, another money robbing festival has come where some of them spend on extra stuffs for no apparent reasons.

After that only i realised that i have not buy anything yet for the gift-exchanging event of my university. Oh yes, i've joined and becoming one of them...

And please don't look down of me because of that.





Apparently mid valley is having the same decoration too. It looked more colorful then the Gardens' ones actually. And we could see lots of them stand in front of those artificial tress with funny inorganic fruits hangin' and it, and forced their parents/friends to take picture of that.

I actually wanted to do so too.

Kind of regret now, hope it will still be there during my next visit. If i'm going there again.





Movies like "Enchanted", "Golden compass" or "Hitman" failed to attract us so we planned to spend longer time to eat instead of watching movies.

Sushi king can be quite cheap if you make full use of your handphone. By RM3.50 the mobile voucher gave us 50% off for all plate sushi. Good deal.

Too bad i over-estimated myself. My record is 12 plates of sushi. But maybe post exam syndrome turned my appetite down and i only managed to swallow 5 plates. That was not so mike at all.





Instead, my friends ate like mad since everything is 50% off, by excluding charges of sushi of equivalent or sushi of lower prices. 3 of us ate 25 plates plus ordered the not-so-delicious takoyaki was just RM75++.

Really wasted because i didn't eat as much as i could.

Could eat up to 8 plates if my condition wasn't that bad.



Barney escaped from your little cousin's tv screen to patrol in mid valley.


It's kind of scary when you have friends who mad about books.

I was fortunate enough to have both of book maniacs with me today. Instead of wasting time watching a movie, we went to the MPH.

The amount of time we spent in the bookstore was actually more than enough to finish a movie in the cinema.



Chan's Rm48.50 comic book.


I don't buy books. I bought dan brown's collection series and i'm still yet to finish the remaining 2 books.

But this time i really got me something from the bookstore. One book for my selective (literature) and another one which i'd like to read even though i have watched the movie (badly rated though, hannibal rising).

Why am i buying books? After renal course, the one month of selectives is free from exam. And i have no gunpla to fix with for the moment, recharging my soul and my wallet's soul, therefore i need something to kill time. Revise cardiovascular system too.

All 3 of us bought something from the bookstore. But i wouldn't spend RM50 for a comic book like what chan did...



PS: No exam in december, january and february. I'll be freaking bored...

324# Vege for your intestine

324# Vege for your intestine


Remember the post "Salf for your kidneys" that i posted not long ago?

After thinking again and again, i find out that i love the canteen in the uni even more.

It is the only canteen in the uni, i have no choice, but to love it.

Or else i would have no place to drink nescafe-panas-kao before the lectures.


Last tuesday, i finished my Clinical Skills Unit at 12.50pm. I had a Problem Based Learning session at 1.15pm later.

Means i had only 25 minutes to eat my lunch. I drive out to eat usually but on that particular day, seemed that i didn't have a choice but to eat my lunch in the canteen.





Lunch is supposed to be important.

I have to make it heavy because it's the main source of energy for me to study until 3.30pm where i will have tea break again. Sometimes i don't though.

At the canteen, i took the mixed rice. Some vege and 3 pieces of fish.

Sting ray, expected it not to be cheap. I guessed it would be around RM3 something or RM4. The mixed rice that i usually eat outside cost me from RM2.50 to RM3.50 only by the way.

But guess what, the lady who sits at the counter charged me RM5.00 for it.

RM5.00. RM5.00. RM5.00. RM5.00. RM5.00.

Scroll up to see the picture of that mixed rice again. Did that worth RM5.00?





To make things worse, the food wasn't tasty at all.

The vege was practically tasteless. Erm, guess that's how usually vege taste like.

But one thing i found weird at the green leaves of the vege.

And i spreaded it on the table to take a look nicely.





Green leaves of the vege. Freshness guaranteed.

I was like, oh-my-freaking-god. What on earth has happened to these vege?

I don't support the abuse of pesticide but hey, this is way too much.

These leaves are farked up. Wormholes.


(By the way, full-of-holes in jap means farked up at the same time. Learnt from DMC anime.)





Wormhole metrics:




And the non-traversable wormhole metric (Schwarzschild solution):



Oh yeah.


How am i going to eat it?

Seriously, would you eat something like this?

And you have freaking paid RM5.00 for such full-of-holes-mixed rice!

Guess what can RM5.00 give you from the restaurant outside.





I'd go for this char kuey tao or lou shu fan out there instead.

Check out the prawn, its thickness is about the diameter of a 50 cent coin. This is a small dish, you'll have 3 giant, fresh, sweet prawns if you order a big dish.

And it's just RM3.50 (small). Plus a teh-ais which cost you RM1.30 - everything is just RM4.80, cheaper than the full-of-holes-mixed rice which is RM5.00 and without drinks.

I don't mind to drive out as long as i can eat a better food.

Just look at what we're having right now, do we deserve it? Is this the food service we deserved after paying RM48k to the uni every year?



Please legalise BKT.

The new jaya jusco mall in bukit tinggi klang is launched on last saturday.

I actually wanted to go during its first day but i didn't make it after knowing that almost the whole population of klang went to smell each other there.

Heard that the area's traffic was heavily jammed. Luckily i didn't drive there or else i'd be trapped in jam like the rest.





Yesterday, my friend asked me to go with him because he needs to go there for an interview. He's having a one month semester break therefore he decided to work part time in a restaurant there, where salary and food come together in a combo.

Finally i give myself a chance to see how does the mall looks like. Even though i'll be having exam in less than 1 week's time but i still dragged myself there.






Klang is damn diu-ed up in the sense that the whole population have only 1 place to watch movie, which is at the bukit raja mall. Now we have another option. Both TGV though, but i prefer GSC because its caremel popcorn taste better.

But anyway there's actually a cinema at centre point which shows 2 malay movies, 2 indian movies and sometimes, 1 english movie only - which only targetted for specific peoples. By the way, the cinema in there is dirty. I think explaination is not needed.





Another than bukit raja mall mentioned, we have the old klang parade, the even older central point which attracts all bastards and idiots with purchase power of zero, the new centro mall which has practicaly nothing, and this new bukit tinggi mall.

Plus 3 other hypermarkets, giant, tesco, and carefour, so i think it's kind of enough already though.

But what i really wanted is something like - mid valley, a place where can lepak and shop. Mid valley is still the best place to shop with somehow.





Alright, this new mall is quite big, from the outside.

Once i went in, i didn't fell that it's any bigger. Maybe it was too crowded that time. Oh damn, there's takoyaki there!

There are quite a few new shops which draw my attention. Sony centre, yamaha, game shops...

And i bought a guitar pick from yamaha - the only thing i bought from there yesterday lol.





Standard chained cafe restaurants expected there. Starbarks, Domp...

I've never heard of sake sushi though. My friend's going to work there and i may pay a visit there next time.

There's fish manhattan market as well. Something off, type "my111 manhattanfishmarket 22" and send the sms to 33365 you will get a voucher which entitles you to get a buy 1 free 1 fish and chips. Good deal, I'll be there next time.

By the way, the added number "22" in the codename is to vote for my friend's sister, MinLi in starceleb.





There's something i wanted to buy actually, but there are still a few shops which are still under renovation. Plus TGV cinema there is not launched yet.

But now i have a reason to call people from shah alam or subang to come down for a movie, instead of me travelling to them...

No need to squeeze in one mall for movies with the others already. Good.

And this mall is just 8 minutes away from my house, yeah man. Oh no, damn, i'll be moving soon in 1 month's time... Damn it.



Damn count: 4
