“Isle of the Betel Nut” Once Again

2010-06-15T22:57:00.000+08:00

Literally translated, Pulau Pinang means the “Isle of the Betel Nut” in Malay – Malaysia's national language.

This holiday I had a chance to take a trip back to Penang to visit my hot grandmother and my beloved cousins. I was blessed with plane tickets given by my dad and so I flew to Penang by AirAsia. I took off from Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday

I was up in the air for 50 minutes. The 1st 15 minutes on the plane I was able to see tiny vehicles and small little houses in the middle of the rubber tree plantations. I thought of a video I once watched and it talks about Neil Armstrong, as he was in the space shuttle on the way back to earth, he took out his thumb and his thumb blocked out the entire earth . At that point Neil Armstrong said he felt like a king and could rule the earth, he continued saying: Yet, we're just so small in God's eyes. I tried doing the same thing too for Siok Sendiri purposes, I took out my pinkie and blocked out 3 houses and a car. I thought to myself saying if the entire universe is a photograph, we won't be that tiny mega-pixels that makes up that photo but instead we would be the square of pico-pixels D: The point is : We're so tiny in this massive universe ! We have got to know how Great our God is :D !!

My hot grandmother and one of my cousins picked me up from the airport. It was another 1 hour ride back from the airport to Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam. Bukit Mertajam is a small town in Butterworth with loads of sumptuous food waiting to be digested. The very 1st meal I had in Penang was the Malay Laksa in Bukit Mertajam, my grandma decided to pull over to the famous Laksa stall for tea time.

(Some of my pictures this time was taken from my camera , excuse the terrible quality. Even if I took those pictures with a proper camera; the pictures will also be lousy. Therefore , there's no difference ! )

After checking in to my grandmum's paradise home she then brought me to the Bukit Mertajam Dam for a jog in the evening. I saw a wedding photo-shoot taking place there at the dam and realized that it's not easy to take wedding shots in the public where everyone surrounds you and comment about your future husband/wife. Well , it was beautiful though. It was dinner followed by durian after the evening exercise. I was just chilling with my grandma on the 1st night talking about stuff and watching her enjoying herself with her very own karaoke session.

I woke up early on Thursday and went to have breakfast with my cousin and grandma. There is a hawker centre in Jalan Lurus in Bukit Mertajam where it is only mostly known by Bukit Mertajam people. I'll always go there for the best roti canai ever. The cost for one super tasty roti canai there with fine sugar and peanut powder is only 80sens . There's also the nice Kuey Teow Teng there :D

There's the hawker centre of Jalan Lurus.

It was durian season while I was there in Penang , I really wonder how those durian sellers could tell the durian type by holding it.

The superb curry mee there . Rm 2 for one bowl , only in Penang !

The awesome Kuey Teow Teng there !

And this is the cherry on top of the cake- the best roti canai ever !!

I so love his roti canai I needed to take a picture of him :D

My cousin introduced me to " Neslo Peng ". Another must try while in Penang !

My grandma then dropped me and my cousin at Air Itam ( below Kek Lok Si Temple) in Penang. There's a famous laksa stall there that is a must try.

The delicious laksa makers, they are such friendly people. When I asked for directions all of them were directing me at the same time.

After Air Itam , We then proceed to Komtar BY BUS ! I know there's nothing to be proud of but yes indeed sometimes we live with parents and drivers fetching us here and there and never even once dared to step into a public bus. The bus experience was awesome ! The bus driver issued me with 2 tickets pricing at RM3 , I did not have change then and gave a RM10 note , " sorry la bang , bus tiada tukar duit bunya la bang". Embarrassing; good thing there wasn't any passengers on the bus yet and yes we do learn through experiences ;) The bus driver was friendly and skillful to drive through the narrow roads of Air Itam. It was a 20 minutes ride to Komtar.

Komtar is the tallest building in Penang island , from there people will be able to have a scenic breath-taking view of Penang . Our purpose heading to Komtar was to have that breath-taking view. Unfortunately, renovation was going on there and so we decided to find the famous Penang Cendul nearby Komtar . My cousin and I both walked a lot asking for directions and staring at the map. Every energy taken up for walking and fats being burned makes every meal worth eating. We found the rojak and cendul at last.

Our next mission on that day was to find for the Bahu lady ! Ever heard of her on facebook and youtube ? Check her out here - Bahu Aunty . I stumbled across the video long time ago adding the fact that Cohen actually texted me a day ago said that he met the bahu lady. I was exploring Penang like a penguin in the dessert- LOST. Since I was already lost, my cousin and I set our next destination to Lorong Selamat where we may have a chance to meet the bahu aunty. We walked super long and finally found Lorong Selamat. Both our eyes were wide open to catch the sight of the bahu lady. My cousin saw her sitting on the chair and knew it was her. We then went in and sat in the kopitiam, the bahu lady then came and gave us sample of her bahu, bahu lady FOUND !! My cousin and I were both super excited and told the aunty that we've walked the entire Penang just to hear her rap about bahu.

The Bahu Lady with her powrful bahus.

My cousin then bought 2 of her bahus and we then asked her to do some rapping with her bahus . I took out my phone and manage to video her and also interviewed her about her business . The way she speaks and talks about any question I asked her totally rhymed . She talked about her husband whom left her and how she managed to raise both of her kids up by making bahus . The entire conversation was hilarious and the encounter with the bahu aunty was the boom of the trip !

Besides the bahu lady , there's also another funny sight in that particular kopitiam. The uncle frying the kuey teow oustide the kopitiam wears a goggle ! I was laughing like mad seeing the best kuey teow fryer ever ! Ahaha.

The Char Kuey Teow man with goggles ! Ahaha

The Char Kuey Teow was fried with style and tasted with style :D

The goggle man said that he's wearing the goggle not for pictures but it's because his eye went through injection before and now he's just scared that oil might fly into his eye again.

I could basically call it a comediam than a kopitiam... Anyone of you readers that will be going to Penang next time , do drop by at Jalan Macalister,Lorong Selamat to visit this comediam for the bahu aunty , the delicious fry kuey teow and the mouthwatering ice kacang !

The ice kacang there !

The Bahu aunty even has her very own business card. The name of the aunty is "Ke Ai " which means cute . haha.

That's me and my cousin there chilling at the Batu Ferringi beach.

We went to Batu Ferringgi where the Hard Rock Hotel is and chilled at the beach. At night , it was food once again at Gurney Drive where all the good food gather at one place; an oasis for food hunters. After filling our empty stomaches with food , we then head to the jetty, board the ferry and went back to Butterworth. My uncle picked us up from the jetty and then went to hve nasi kandar . That's the end of Thursday in Penang :D

There wasn't anything much on Friday , all my cousin and I did was just went up to Penang Hill by car since the funicular train is under repair . We shared the car with 2 other super friendly westerners. There wasn't anything much up on Penang Hill anymore , it looks more deserted now and the only thing we could do there was breathing the cool air and enjoying the panoramic view of Penang.

I would like to see how big Mat Sellah's cannon could get.

Those of you people following my tweets the other day might have read my tweet about failing public transport several times . Public transport fail number 1 was getting con-ed by the taxi driver . I didn't ask to follow the meter and he said it's rm15 to take us to Jalan Macalister. When we arrived the meter showed rm8 and he asked for rm15 . rm7 gone ....

Public transport fail number 2 was on the bus when the driver said rm2.80 for the bus ride . So, for me and my cousin it's rm5.20 . I placed in rm5.20 into the box... Mana tau it's rm2.80 for both of us ... Where in the world there's even a bus ride which cost more than rm3 =.= . This time there was a lady behind me saying " Wa ! you got so much money ah ?!? " ...

Public transport fail number 3 was when I walked in the rain towards the bus and got to know that it's not the bus I wanted...

Public transport ultimate fail was when I realized I've been waiting at the wrong bus station for half an hour for the bus I wanted which will not even come... It's okay it's okay , now I guess I've gained experience for "failure is a blessing in disguise" haha. My cousin and I then went back Queensbay mall to meet my cousin and from there we went back to Butterworth.

There wasn't anything much on Saturday , it was the day I left Penang and head back to KL. There was an unforgettable priceless experience I had while I was at the Penang airport. My flight was schedule at 3.35pm and so my grandma and my cousin fetched me to the airport, we left the house at 2pm. According to my grandmum , she says that it only takes 40minutes to reach the airport from Bukit Mertajam which is at mainland. Unfortunately there was a traffic jam on the Penang bridge , I felt like my adrenaline hormone being secreted is fully used up when the time showed 3:05pm and I was still half-way on the Penang bridge. There was an accident at the 1st part of the bridge and there were repair works being carried out in the middle stage of the bridge. After passing the bridge at 3.15pm , my grandmum was driving an extraordinary version of Myvi as if the meter reads the speed of sound while I was praying for a flight delay and observing the clock for every intense second.

36000 seconds later , I finally arrived at the airport. I ran and collect my tickets from the AirAsia dude, took my bag and ran into the entrance of the boarding area. It was 3.30pm while I was passing through the metal detector and I thought to myself there is still hope for me to catch the flight . Little did I know I got suddenly famous... " Calling for final passenger Fam Shen Deng of flight number .... to KL please proceed to gate 14 for immediate boarding " There was also the BM version of it .... I pushed my luggage into the metal detector and ran pass the metal detector . I wasn't thinking about anything else but run.

Gate 14 was at the end , I ran with my luggage and my awesome slippers that flew off from my foot,twice. 3.35pm and the final passenger boarded the plane . I felt proud and also felt like a star as I walked down the aisle . I still could feel the gripping 30 minutes I experienced as I sat down and buckle up my seat beat. It was an amazing experience !!!

As I was observing Bernoulli's ingenious invention out the window of the small plane . I recalled to myself the pass amazing 30 minutes that I came across , for that intense 30 minutes , the only thing I had on my mind was get the boarding pass-- run to the plane and nothing else as each second was irreplaceable . However the one thing that made everything worth it was one simple kiss , the most priceless silent "i love you " message was ever was passed to my grandmother that second . There was still time for appreciation and love even if 200 passengers were waiting for me . I thought , if I were to miss the flight because of that act , it will so totally be worth it.

besides, someone showed us indescribable love that cost His life:)

That's all for my Penang trip. Thanks for reading or perhaps taking a glimpse at the lousy pictures I took :)

God Bless , see you soon :)

Mid Year Exams Aftermath

2010-06-07T02:39:00.001+08:00

After exams on Wednesday( 173 days left till SPM ) , the very 1st thing I did was ate a Carl's Jr. burger with Daniel, got back home and slept for the entire afternoon.

On Thursday( 172 days left till SPM) , I went back to school just to finish the moral project. Chilled at the library with Victor and Yin Li and went to have a delicious lunch with Peter, Kristina and Carl Lyn at Delicious. Watched IP Man 2 with Peter and then went back home.

Friday( 171 days left till SPM) was Sri KDU's teacher's day celebration . It was a great teacher's day for everyone at Sri KDU. Great job on the video Dennis ! And also , fantastic job by the prefects and performance club members on putting up a wonderful celebration in the hall . To the head prefect- Geoffrey , Whooo !! Awesome job brother for leading the entire team ! At night , I went to watch Adam the musical at the KL PAC theater in Lot 10. It's my very 1st time watching a musical and I did enjoyed it . The thing I enjoyed most was the well written script. I would rate it as "go watch it if there's nothing else better to do". Quick tip : DON'T watch it with your parents ;) Loads of vulgar stuff !

That's basically it for the 3 days after exams.

On Saturday ( 170 days left till SPM ) . I went to visit an orang asli's house along with my church's brother, sisters and pastor. I made a discovery that about 5 minutes away from a school with wealthy students in Kota Damansara , there's a house lived by 8 migrated orang asli kids. These wonderful orang asli kids are brought in from their "kampungs" to the city for a better future . They are all under the care of Aunty Leti. The house kinda works like an orphanage house except they're orang aslis.

There's the house.

These are the orang asli kids living there.

Haha. Nahh...The orang asli kids consist of 7 girls and 1 small boy. The oldest girl is 15 years old. All of them are able to speak english. It took me quite some time to remember 8 of their names while my friends could just remember them all in few minutes.

There's Ai ling, Natasha and Joyce teaching the small boy named Romanis how to make a love shape.

We played games with them and talked about their schools and so on.

That's my church's pastor - Pastor Alexa with Aunty Leti. Yes there's a plasma television at the back,no idea how they managed to get it.

That's Elizabeth playing with their dog- Rufus.

That's all of us there. I shall try to remember their names .

Bottom row from bottom left: Who is this ?!?! , Elisha , Pristila , Michelle , Romanis and Loser.

Above "Who is this?!?!" is Elizabeth.

From top left : Reuben, Christina , Girl , Natasha and Trisha with Ai Ling and Joyce.

The wild side. They're all wonderful and friendly indeed , there wasn't any awkward silence moments but the entire time while we were there , we were all having a fun-filled time getting to know each other.

After the visit , it was back to church for the youth session.

That's how I look like making noise.

Well , that's about it - my 1st splendid weekend during the school break . Good food , good people , good times :D Take care people , God Bless :)

Just testing out stuff with the new template and all...

Took these shots long time ago while I was at Curve.

Anyways , Mid-year exams are OVER ! Looking forward for the 2 weeks holiday and hopefully I've got stuff to blog about. Stay tune :D

Stress. Pressure , and everything strenuous

2010-05-16T11:29:00.004+08:00

Mid year exams are just around the corner of my room , total internal reflection is taking place as we’ve reached the critical angle . To everyone of you out there , don’t give up and continue to push on .

"When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Gets Going"-Maria Bartiromo

Stay strong studying people :D !

On Saturday I managed to break the record of my time spent at Starbucks , It was cool sitting down on the couch with a book from 7pm-11pm . The thing about studying at Starbucks is that there’s nothing else better to do than study as there aren’t any tempting bed nor computer like home … While I was there , behind me was a couple and their cute baby , I see the laughter of that little child compared to the pressure I was experiencing while studying pressure law , how I wish I could be that kid cheerfully playing with his reflections on the window not knowing that image of his is virtual and laterally inverted . I see also an uncle with his spectacles at the corner , his concentration was indulged on that erotic magazine he was reading , with the front page of the magazine covered with a model posing as if her body was on eBay . I wondered what if I could tell him to magnify his eye angle towards life knowing there’s so much more than unworthy things. About 10 footsteps in front of me I see a couple at their college life fooling around with each other, on their table 2 cups of coffee , a laptop surfing facebook and a digital camera which the girl uses to snap pictures of their time together. I observe both of them as I was simultaneously recalling the characteristics of a convex lens . By watching the couple hanging around fooling with each other , it kindles my mind reminding me how precious time is. How each second is being used carefully . Not to judge anything but then again time enjoy wasting is not wasted time. The table next to me , a father and his form 4 son. The father teaching his son about molarities. Looking at the long run , we’re not just studying for mid year exams nor SPM … We’re studying because in the future we’ll be people that uses that knowledge in us now to light candles . “Knowledge may be power, I do not know. But I certainly know that knowledge is empowering.” Each table,each person with their coffee talk teaches me something. I look at my ice shaken lemonade with the straw having the illusion of being bent due as light is being refracted away from normal. I said to myself "another great day at Starbucks indeed" :)

AHiNi !

"Open up the windows , see the world , look beyond, there's so much more than this ."

5 people getting weak makes a beautiful week ! Sri KDU will be closing down for a week due to the emergence of H1N1 , Whoohoo ! Just think of all the cool things we could do ! Though the school advised that we should all stay home for the quarantine period, honestly speaking how could Sri KDU-ians not go out ? Sadly teachers will be emailing students worksheets to be completed during the "holiday" .

It's a real frustrating and stressful job producing this year's short film for the Paramount Championship short film competition. Fortunately , this year we've got Yin Li & Kristina having great responsibilities that I could not fathom but just respect them for it . This year we've also got Dao Liang as the director for the short film . So , hold on with anticipation while you wait to watch the final product (that is IF we win :D ! )

I managed to watched Kick-Ass today . It's a very very awesome film ! With great actors , amazing soundtracks, incredible director along with so many creative scenes, I'll give it a 12/10 ! Why not a 13/10 ? Because many scenes were expected , Anyhow do go check the movie out !

"My response is to get down on my knees before the Father,this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask Him to strengthen you by His spirit- Not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength - That Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite Him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth ! Test it's length! Plumb the depths ! Rise to the heights ! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God."

Chinese New Year

2010-02-26T16:08:00.005+08:00

After a week Chinese New Year and a week studying for class test 1 , since today is a public holiday on friday I shall blog about the prosperous week of Chinese New Year I had this year in Penang.
It's the time of the year again , when there isn't class for a week due to Chinese New Year . My family and I went back to Bukit Mertajam, Penang ; the place where my mum was once a foetus and walked the journey of being a teenager. On Chinese New Year eve, there's a Chinese tradition that states to have a reunion dinner . No matter how far you are away , you've got to come home to have a meal together as a family. The amazing thing about Chinese New Year this year is that it falls on the same day as Valentine's Day.

Question:How are you going to spend the 1st day of CNY?
A. Spend the day with my girlfriend/boyfriend making my family feel disappointed in me.
B. Spending my day with my family increasing the chance of a dissatisfaction of my partner leading to a break-up.
C. I'll kill two birds with one stone as I have the balls to introduce my girlfriend to my entire family.
D. I'll collect ang pows as I am single.
E. Eat droppings Shen Deng I'll do what I want.
F. I'll spend my time praying.

Think and get a good answer as for this rare occasion will take place again, 2031 isn't that far away for Valentine's Day to fall on the eve of Chinese New Year.This is such a One Malaysia picture , a Malay on the left joining in the Chinese New Year.

I spent the 2 1st day of Chinese New Year visiting relatives. On the 3rd day of CNY I followed my mum to Semiling, Kedah to visit relatives. Since we were there , I wanted to find out if all the burdensome memorizing for Sejarah was real or bunch of red bull + fertilizer . That's a candi(temple) above built a long long time ago between 12 A.D to 13 A.D .
Candi Bukit Batu Pahat. It's a candi found by Quaritch Wales in 1976.

Woah, I forgotten to share how I spent the morning of the 2nd day of CNY. Let's carry our bags and take pictures using the flash (flashback) ... I woke up 7am in the morning just to go to the railroad to take pictures. After that , my aunty brought me on the motorbike and have a tour around Bukit Mertajam.My aunty brought me to a small plantation. She said the plantation was used as a set for a film before.
On the 4th day of CNY , I followed my mum to Georgetown, Penang. She went there to watch Avatar with my sister, since I've seen enough of Avatar during moral class my aunty brought me to visit the butterfly farm. Just a thought what if my name was Butterfly Fam Shen Deng.....nah. It was a 30 minutes drive to the butterfly farm at Teluk Bahang. My aunty is a Japanese , hence Japanese + Malaysian + a mix(catalyst) = 2 handsome boys. That's Kochang on the left and Leochang in the middle. It's so beautiful... ...So beautifully tortured. Yes these people are the ones that pulled out nails from humans while taking over Malaysia. SEX ! This is what it looks like when it wings are open. This is what it looks like when it's shy. This is a Rajah Brooke's Birdwing Butterfly , it was named by a famous British naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, he named it in honour of his friend James Brooke. This is a kayafly named by shen deng in honour of "I only eat bread with kaya". Nilai Kasih Sayang, kepekaan dan perasaan yang mendalam serta berkekalan yang dilahirlan daripada hati yang ikhlas. It's not fun to invade the privacy of others , that's why the word room is invented ,heh . Seriously I think it's because of Valentine's Day that where there was lots of "love love " going on as said by Kochang.
That's the dam of Teluk Bahang.

Yeap , that's about how I spent my week in Penang. Thanks for reading . Take care , God bless :)

When It Rains.

This picture was taken from the inside of my mum's car when it was raining outside, I pulled out my camera set it to manual focus and defocus the water droplets on the windscreen to get this effect . The orange light was due to the lamppost and the green by the traffic light.

Jamie's farewell

2010-01-17T15:13:00.006+08:00

On Saturday , Shen Deng was with his classmates having a farewell dinner for Jamie .

Finally got a try to take this shot.

Chilling while eating ice-cream.We all wish you the very best as you walk your next chapter of life at Australia. See you soon mate !

Day Trip to Melaka

2010-01-14T20:40:00.004+08:00

Known for the word "kedudukan strategik" in Sejarah text books , Melaka is no doubt a beautiful city of history. Shen Deng along with his sister and mum went down to Melaka the other day morning since there wasn't a church service that Sunday .

After a 2 hour drive since 9am , they stopped by the chicken rice stall to have a taste of the unique Melaka chicken rice ball . Didn't really enjoyed it but it was worth the experience for them. After having rice balls , they went on to the clock tower followed by touring down the stunning Jonker street.Shen Deng got this random shot that he thinks it's artistic.It was a Sunday morning then and many church was having their services . People even stood outside to hear the Word as it was a full house.This uncle is cool ! He looked so peaceful and relaxed sitting under a tree feeling the fresh breeze of air as he reads his Sunday paper nearby the clock tower.Don't worry young one , one day you'll soar~ 3 of them enjoyed walking along Jonker street filled with people bargaining for items and seeing vintage looking houses and vehicles . It was the one time for Shen Deng that he did not felt boring waiting for his mum and sister while they shop. He could just walk around taking pictures of beautiful things.Some "bechas" even have amplifier playing hip hop songs.After walking for quite some time , they then went to eat Melaka's Cendol with gula Melaka . Shen Deng would much prefer Melaka's Cendol than Penang's "famous" Cendol.
After Cendol eating , they went to visit the Babba Nyonya museum . It was very interesting for Shen Deng to know the Babba Nyonya culture . Here's a random fact - the Babba Nyonya's wedding ceremony takes up to 11 days. Yeap , that's all folks ! See you next time :)God Bless :D

Penang Trip

2010-01-02T23:39:00.004+08:00

Shen Deng was in Penang for the last week of 2009, despite the fact that Penang is going to be boring says Shen Deng before he even arrived there. He'll take that back and would say Penang was fine. It was a good thing that Shen Deng brought along his toy (camera) with him to entertain himself. I'll present to you all the awful pictures Shen Deng took and tell you what Shen Deng did .

Day 1 in Penang wasn't much but sleeping. There wasn't internet there at Shen Deng's grandmother's house . Shen Deng just sat down stonning while drinking chrysanthemum tea to kill time.

Day 2 was a great day for Shen Deng, he went to a shopping mall there at Butterworth and watched Sherlock Holmes all alone - So Sad ! Haha. However , Shen Deng managed to enjoy himself as Sherlock Holmes was a fantastic movie ! Shen Deng then spent 3 hours at Starbucks chilling.

Day 3 was great ! Shen Deng went for an eye-opening Penang tour with his mum. Sumptuous Penang food is the thing that triggers happiness. In the morning , they went to the wet market at Bukit Mertajam(not in Penang yet) and ate the famous Bee-Chai-Bak.O-peng with another bowl of Wan Tan mee after Be-Chai-Bak.The temple near the kopitiam.

After eating breakfast , they then went to Penang island to eat the so called Malaysia's most famous Chendol says TV3...The Chendol stall owner is real successful and rich , he stays in a bungalow opposite Shen Deng's uncle's house. Though Phua Chu Kang from Singapore came all the way to taste the famous Chendol and the stall being interviewed by TV3 ; honestly after eating it ,there's nothing special...

The typical traditional streets of Penang."Chains be broken~ Lives be healed ~..." Shen deng crossed the Penang bridge for about 4 times while he was in Penang and the whole time his iPod was just playing Hillsongs...Unlike in Dubai,Shen Deng manged to take loads of pictures in Penang as his mum is just a simple phone call away and not having the fear of getting lost in a foreign country.Shen Deng's favourite shot...*Bhoo*...

After that , they went to Gurney Plaza followed by the beach at Batu Feringgi. A place famous for selling loads of imitated stuff such as Louis Mutton , Ralph Lauren Pola ...etc. Fake DVDs were priced at only rm4 there with good quality. It was off to another delicious dinner at Gurney Drive and a drive back to Bukit Mertajam.

Day 4, Shen Deng followed his grandmother along with his aunt to the market to buy new cloths for Shen Deng's four small adorable cousins. Day 4 was more of a day for Shen Deng to work on the documentary of his grandmother . Shen Deng spent the whole morning standing there looking at his cousins trying on new cloths (without cam-whoring with mirrors) and helping his grandmother to choose the perfect lingerie. It was off to a satisfying branch , Shen Deng tasted the best roti canai of his life so far.

Shen Deng then followed his aunties,uncles and cousins to the temple. Shen Deng again was like a stone reading the newspaper at a corner ... After an hour , they went back home and chill. Shen Deng's same aged cousin drove him around the compound with the Kancil. It was so fun that they went round and round all over and over again.

Day 5 / New Year's Eve / Grandma's Birthday. Went to have Dim Sum in the morning (duh?). It was off to Penang island after that to beat the jam that will build up due to new year's eve. Shen Deng along with his mum and sister went to the mall again . While Hui Ying and his mum went shopping , Shen Deng was chilling at Do-Me drinking peach tea for 40 minutes . It's Dome if you are wondering...

After shopping , they went straight to the restaurant where the birthday dinner was going to be held . The entire family was there all dressed up splendidly . Shen Deng's grandmother was real happy that night so was everyone else.

Present opening time.

After the dinner , Shen Deng along with his elder cousins went to Gurney Drive once again for the countdown. They parked the car far away from the location and walked 2km to watch the "so-so" fireworks display. It was another tiring 2km walk back to the car. They were caught in a traffic jam and only got home at 3am.

Day 6, Shen Deng woke up early in the morning again. After having breakfast , Shen Deng , his mum, sister and uncle went to pay Shen Deng's sister's mum's mum's sister's brother's father a visit.

"Ah Kong" is what Shen Deng calls him.Pictures Shen Deng took around Ah Kong's house.Ah Kong is already 70 years old but still rides a bike and climb hills.

After having lunch with Ah Kong, we went to his plantation for a hike.Ah Kong owns the land and plant many types of trees bearing all kinds of fruit to be sold such as Durian , rambutan , papaya , kiwi....(nah).

Shen Deng's uncle brought them to Penang Island once again to see the new luxurious apartment he bought. That apartment has got a private elevator to your doorstep and the apartment is really huge !

Chilling at the swimming pool area of the apartment.

Well that's about it for Shen Deng's Penang trip , thank you all for dropping by :D Shen Deng and I would like to wish everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR ! As we all embark on another astounding journey of our lives , let us all improve more and more each new day , as we learn from our mistakes and failures we pick ourselves up not keeping ourselves on the ground permanently but keep walking the righteous path. Wishing everyone a splendid new year !!!!!

HAPPY 2010 !!!

God Bless :D !

Shen Deng's back from Dubai !

*screams* heh...

Hello everyone ! How's it been ? Shen Deng's back from beautiful Dubai and since I was smart that I didn't went along with him , He shall blog about his own trip.

Alright , I shall not write much about my trip and allow pictures to do the talking. I was in Dubai for 4 days 3 nights along with my dad and sister. This time I've got to teach my sister some basic technique in taking pictures . My sister could now set the camera accordingly to my commands. It was a 7 hour flight and since love was in the air , I was reading the book " The Lovely Bones " . Good book and I'm quarter way through it.

Arrived there and went to Dubai Mall on the 1st day for shopping , Dubai is rather a fantastic mesmerizing city with loads of modern architecture. Here's pictures from day 1 at the Dubai Mall - the biggest shopping mall in Dubai with an ice skating ring , a small theme park and a large huge aquarium .

It's indeed a real huge shopping mall with many many world renown shops .

The walkway outside the mall.

My sister and I went to skate for about an hour . The last time I skated was about 4 years ago ,my sister and I were the only ones holding the side wall learning to skate . Some small girl came in front of me and throw out her marvelous skating skills in front of my face... show off.

Day 2 was more on the desert safari. We got on a jeep and started the safari journey at 3pm . It was a convoy with 32 jeeps venturing into the desert. The driver in our jeep boost up the stereo playing hip hop songs which really did fit the mood. We were all experiencing ups and downs thrilling slopes much like a kid's roller coaster . I wanted to request the driver to play Desert Song by Hillsongs but well....We then stopped to dazzle ourselves watching the charming sun as it sets.

"From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised " -Psalm 113:3
It's a nice picture if I would say. I've got my sister to take the picture as I got up there.

After the sunset , the convoy was brought to an oasis where we had our traditional Arabian dinner there. My sister and I managed to try out shisha.

On the third day there wasn't much going on, just sight seeing and a little shopping at Abu Dhabi. Our flight was at 2.30am in the morning, I didn't sleep at night but was watching The Ugly Truth.Atlantis hotel.

The awe-inspiring Burj-Al-Arab ! It's just so sad that the time I was there to take this photo I was facing direct sunlight hence the picture isn't that nice.Got this shot while having lunch at the terrace. A random shot took while in the car on the way from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Well, that's about it people. The greatest achievement I had while in Dubai was I've got myself 2 shirts and a pants. Whoo !

Christmas is coming !!! Yeah ! I'll blog about Christmas IF I have the time to do it ;) . If not, from the bottom of Good Night and my heart, we would like to wish you **Merry Christmas **~! ... and A Happy New Year ~!

Take care people , God Bless :D

The Last Week of Schooling Days 2009

2009-11-23T21:40:00.005+08:00

Hello beautiful world ! How's everything going ? Have you all smiled lately ? Yeah anyways , sorry I've not been updating the blog recently , Shen Deng was busy with many things on the computer , he dominated the computer , I ended up not being able to upload the blog . So yeah , here it is a "combo" update about what's up with Shen Deng's last week of being a secondary 4 Mozart student . Many fantastic things took place , here goes !

The last week of school for 2009 , many things happened . Shen Deng worked on another lame lifeless short film , title which he has not even decided yet . This time Shen Deng managed to get help from many people to waste their precious time acting . Thank you Dennis the audio dude , and Eric the lighting dude ! It was tiring to film after school especially when you get people to move equipment from one place to another. Do check out the film without a title when it's up on YouTube in December.Making Tzer Thorng look dead .

After the year end examinations , inter-class competitions was going on . Basketball, Football , Netball ,ball ball , and badminton . Besides sports , there were competitions like solving mystery challenge , creative mind competition , talent quest and IQ challenges . Shen Deng along with Marcus, Dennis and Yuet Chi was involved in the 4 challenges . Some requires them to make up their face , dress up and look G-l-a-m-o-r-ous, hair do , designing shirts and many more interesting challenges. With having brilliant minds of Dennis , Marcus and Yuet Chi , their team won for the IQ competition and Solve it competition . Shen Deng did NOTHING ! The team loss for the remaining two challenges was all because of Shen Deng. If you have too much free time you guys can check out the competition pictures on facebook.

On Thursday , it was frog dissection day ! Woohooo ! Shen Deng as usual wasn't acting like a girl but was a perfect girl while dissecting the frog . "She" stood there whining while looking at others playing with the frog's stomach , intestine ,liver , heart and more . It wasn't disgusting for Shen Deng , but the thought he had was he was killing a frog. Those bubbly looking organs are air sacs from the lungs.Vanessa & Rachel from Shen Deng's group took out the organs one by one . The heart was still beating even though organs are being removed , painful to watch for Shen Deng the small girl.That's the poor frog dissected by Alex & Jamie , they were so cruel until they even chopped off the legs . They also cut the stomach digging out all the faeces.Athirah, Geoffrey and Victor emptied the frog's stomach. After emptying the frog , Athirah actually took the frog's hands and dance with the dead frog like lala lala la. Mean people !

Besides that , Thursday was also the last day of going to school for the year 2009 . Indeed it has been a great year for everyone , time flew by so quickly I can't even read the clock . Jamie , Andrew and Wen Fei won't be in Sri KDU again next year . 4 Mozart people went to the field and splashed water at each other just for the fun of it .

That's an marvelous picture of 4 Mozart together with their Home Room Teacher- Mr Chew(if you can spot him ) . So splendid because Shen Deng's face is no where to be found in the picture.

On Friday , Shen Deng worked on the documentary film "Happiness IS " . After the year end examination , Shen Deng and few friends went around interviewing people that passed by him , all of them were asked with one simple question " What is happiness to you ? ". Shen Deng spent a pleasant 8 hours editing the documentary though it was tiring , Shen Deng was smiling the whole time as he was able to watch the different things that makes people smile. "Happiness IS" will be posted up on YouTube , will inform you people when it's up. Daniel found a Bible verse that suits the documentary :

A happy heart makes the face cheerful,

but heartache crushes the spirit.- Provers 15:13

On Saturday , it was the day each and every 4 Mozart student had been eagerly waiting for as it was 4 Mozart 2009 Class Dinner . It was held at the KL Hilton and was brilliantly organized by the two most committed and devoted people - Wen Fei & Yin Li . Thank you both for an unforgettable night. 4 Mozart had the whole level 7 for themselves . It was great to see everyone dressed up formally ,everyone was stunning that night. According to Shen Deng , everything was so grand that even his wedding in the future won't be able to top the class dinner. But what do you guys think ? Will Shen Deng even get married ? haha guess not . Upon arrival at 7.30pm, everyone was waiting in the lounge for the dinning suite doors to be open. Daniel was counseling the boys on "how to grow fatter".

Yin Li : Alright guys , you all can come in now :DEveryone's jaw dropped and eyes sparkled for the astounding dining suite . Everyone was immensely amazed by the setting.

Pretty candles placed on tables with a huge plasma TV in front. The TV was displaying the pictures taken in 4 Mozart 09' throughout the year. Each seat has got a nicely wrapped present, it was pictures of their own individual self framed up handsomely .

Vanessa, Peter and Shen Deng getting sumptuous food to fill their famished stomach.

Ms Anjali was also there to join in the spectacular dinner. Smarties- Andrew & Dao Liang.Ghis Laine & Rachel.While everyone was eating, the mic was being passed around and everyone was required to give a short speech.After enjoying the delicious food, the documentary film " Happiness IS " was premiered on the big screen.

One of the cool thing for Shen Deng during the dinner was unlimited serving of Coke , drinking Coke was like drinking water.

From left :the dedicated organizers Wenfei & Yin Li , Rubbish, Victor, Jamie and Andrew behind of Jamie. There was a toast to 4 Mozart , everyone held up their glass saying MoooooOoooOOooo at the same time walking around the dining suite cheer-sing everyone's glass and ended with a Zart . After the dinner , everyone went out to the lounge. There was a big group hug with each and everyone expressing a word that they were feeling at the moment.After that lights were off , music was boasted up and it was par-tay time . Everyone danced like wild people, quiet people was being dragged onto the dance floor and became wild together. Do not despise the size of Daniel , he may be fat-tastic but he's a huge dancing machine. Imagine him expressing the lyrics of the song Love Game-LadyGaga while dancing . Everyone bringing the house down .Here we are , 4 Mozart 2009 . It was definitely a awesome year of schooling with everyone ! Everyone has got the joy , love , patience , kind heart , understanding and fun . Shen Deng : We've gone through many moments together , a time of difficulty , a time of joy , a time of sadness and most important of all we've experienced an unforgettable experience; we've been through every moment together as a class. Sorry for all the wrong things I've done to all of you . Thank you all very much for such a wonderful year !!

KingDom Uth Orientation & the Weekdays

2009-11-04T22:40:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone , it has been tiring for Shen Deng and I for the pass few days . Since there aren't anymore exams and so Shen Deng had been busy doing unnecessary things like playing with Barbie dolls , surfing the net without a surf board , watching television programs without a television and facebooking without a book . Nah .

Let's start from Saturday on the 31st of October , it was the KingDom Youth orientation day ! A warm welcome to the pre-teens aboard the youth ministry. After shopping for equipments for the orientation , Abel , Ai Ling and Shen Deng arrived at Aunty Jen's house where the orientation took place . The orientation started after the arrival of the youths . They started off with the first game called the bingo autograph.

Briefing by Abel
Jean's Bingo Sheet .
Quick fact: Shen Deng is scared of the dark , he switches lightS in his room when he sleeps at night . Hahaha ! Chicken !
The next game was the curtain game .
Michelle : Ma- ma--mar-- Marcus !
After the 2 ice breaking games , they all went to the park to play more games .

3rd game was the water passing to the back , 4th was the egg tossing . They toss the eggs to their friends and everyone discovered that the egg was real difficult to get crack even though it fell several times on to the ground.

The final game was the obstacle course, everyone paired up in two ,one blindfolded and the other one leads the way with only his/her voice . Their aim was to collect straws , water balloons and eggs in the area at the same time being showered with flour , poured with raw eggs on their head and splashed by water balloons . Shen Deng would like to share : "Never throw eggs at people ". Throwing eggs at people is the same as throwing medium size rocks at people . It really hurts ! One of the coolest thing happen was an egg was thrown with a skillful accuracy , hit Shen Deng's mouth , cracked in Shen Deng's mouth and the egg shell cut his lips . Awesome !! His lips was bleeding and he was tasting raw egg . Yay !

After showering , everyone prepare themselves for a wonderful dinner . Aunty Carol, Aunty Jen and Aunty Swee Kim prepared a delicious and tasty meal as usual . There was Shandy!!

Shen Deng doesn't know what is this . All he knows for sure is how to open his mouth and eat whatever that is .

It was indeed a hilarious night , all hands down Eujin was drunk by drinking "Ribena" . The red face explains itself . Eujin was talking random things and just got to remember that he went for the Orang Asli trip . It was Halloween that night too but Shen Deng didn't went saying "trick or treat" as he had already gotten his sweets from his sweet sixteen .

During the weekdays , Shen Deng worked on the Passion Camp 09 Promo Video. It took him 2 days to work on a 1 minute video because he's just so bad at it. Those of you interested to find out more about the church camp by KingDom Youth do check out the facebook group: Passion Camp 09 . You'll be able to watch the promo video there too .

Besides that , Shen Deng is also working on a documentary "Happiness Is..." Shen Deng got his new voice recorder that helps a little in filming. Picture above: Kai Cong with the DIY light reflector (aluminium foil ), Dennis on the camera and Shen Deng on the voice recorder. What's next ? After the documentary, Shen Deng shall start planning on a 10 minutes short film entitled "Night School ".

"Love must be sincere, hate what is evil , cling to what is good."
Romans 11:9

Take care people ! See ya next time .

Freedom !

2009-10-26T21:25:00.003+08:00

Exams are all OVER !! YESSSSS ! Shen Deng can now finally relax and chill , take a deep breath and spend time being more lifeless .

There are much things to be done after exams !

Tune in more often as this blog shall be active once again . See you soon and take care !
God Bless .

Today was the all lifeless Shen Deng's birthday , he bought a cake for himself today because he has no friends . Hahaha ! Brought the chocolate cake to school and celebrate it with his classmates along with Kristina who's birthday falls on the same day as Shen Deng's .4 Mozart people had no choice but to waste their precious time singing the birthday song for Shen Deng celebrating with him during lunch .

Kristina & Clown. Good job to those people at the back who claims that being born on the same day signifies something.

Shen Deng brought a bottle of Pepsi to school and poured for others to drink , drank half the bottle and then realized that the Pepsi was expired 1 year ago , reason for funny Pepsi taste explained . The cake however was delicious !That's all of them !
Photos above all taken by the amazing Tzer Throng . Thanks dude !

Later on that day was Co-curriculum activities . It was the last cooking class for the year 2009 hence there was the cookery club party . At the cookery club party , the results for the cooking competition 2 weeks ago had been announced . Geoffrey , Peter & Shen Deng won 3rd place for cooking Nasi Kampung with steam egg.

CBC's Youth Orang Asli Missionary

2009-08-24T13:04:00.012+08:00

Hello everyone ! Night here once again to blog for lazy Shen Deng about his trip together with Ai Ling , Ben , David, Eu Jin , Joanne ,Natasha and Aunty Jenn to an orang asli camp in Cheroh a small town in Pahang , a small state in Malaysia, a small country on earth , a small planet in the Milky Way , a small galaxy in the big universe.

All of them were there during the weekend , They were there to help teach the 80 orang asli children maths and Bahasa Melayu in malay language . Some of them don't speak fluent BM as they speak their own language called Bahasa Semai. The youth also had a splendid time playing games with the children .

On Saturday, they all depart at 9am . Aunty Jenn and Uncle Jimmy sent all of them there . Arrived at a modern campsite in Cheroh at 10 pm .The orang aslis' houses are 1 hour away from the modern campsite where the volunteers will be staying in . The children are brought in by van to the campsite for the one week program where they will be learning Maths and Bahasa Melayu .

The campsite . The orange colour building is the dining hall and above it are 2 classrooms and 2 dorms where the orang asli kids will be staying in. They will be staying there for the entire week to learn Maths and BM .
That's the dining hall.
That's where the kids stay.
That's the entrance of the campsite. The white building which has the main hall along with dorms as accommodation for the volunteers.

From left : Loser , Eu Jin , Ben , Joanne , Ai Ling and Natasha . Not to forget David . All of them along with Aunty Jenn were there at the campsite for 2 days only and not the entire week .Upon arrival, they first took a tour around the campsite , it's a beautiful place with many fruit trees . It was the first time for most of them seeing a passion fruit.
Passion fruit.
Ben and his pet.

After touring around , they all had their first task at the campsite .

Those are packets of rotten apricot juice. It gives out a very strong acidic smell ,everyone was able to smell the soury smell once stepped into the hall .Yet, those packets of acidic liquid were suppose to be given to the kids . The youth's first task was to move the packets out from the hall planning to be thrown away .

After touring around and moving half of the packets of rotten apricot juice out from the hall . It was off to replenish their energy with lunch. The food there wasn't bad at all .

After having lunch , all of the children gathered at the hall as well as the volunteers . Each children there were given books and stationaries bought by other volunteers .

Joanne and Ai Ling giving out the files to the children.

Kids there were also given slippers , they had their names written on the slippers.After giving the kids their merchandise . It was off to the teaching session , Ai Ling , Ben and Shen Deng was incharge of teaching the primary one kids Maths and Bahasa Melayu . It was fun for Shen Deng to teach in the begining , 3 of them taught the children how to count from satu until sepuluh . Then , 3 of them each were seperated to be incharge of one table . Shen Deng struggled teaching the table of children he was appointed to .Shen Deng's so mean he told me that waiting for them to write "enam " was like waiting for a constipated person to defecate. Imagine Shen Deng teaching them how to write satu until sepuluh .Good for you Shen Deng ! Ben and Ai Ling got a good table .

After the teaching session , the children helped move the packets of acid food out from the hall. We weren't allow to throw the juice away however we seperate the bad ones and those good ones .

Kids there are really obedient . They're all very helpful and didn't even complaint about anything.

After moving quater of the packets out , the youth's played games with the children . All of them were really happy having an exciting time playing telematches . They played games for an hour , at 5.30pm it's off to clean themselves up . Kids took their bath and washed their own cloths . It was a 1 hour break time for everyone . Everyone went to take their bath , Shen Deng went touring around taking useless pictures .

Few of the kids there.

The youth volunteers.

After dinner , the children gathered at the hall again for a praise and worship session . The kid's singing really was fantastic. After that , the youth had an art and craft session with the children.

Natasha teaching the kids how to fold a flower.
"Angkat tangan tunjuk cikgu". As you can see the packets at the back of the hall isn't completly moved yet. Not only we taught them things, Shen Deng got to learn things from the kids too , they taught Shen Deng how to make a newspaper helmet.

After the art & craft session , the youth played games with them before going to bed . All of them enjoyed themselves having a great time jumping , dancing , running . After the games session , it was bed time for the children and chill time for the volunteers .Everyone went to take their bath after a tiring day . Shen Deng was testing the balloons that was going to be given to the kids the next day , he blew it and when he went out he saw Joanne brushing her teeth with her face facing down towards the sink . Shen Deng made the annoying balloon sound in front of Joanne , after making "tweeee" annoying sound for half a minute ; she looked up and it wasn't Joanne . Epic Fail for you Shen Deng , hahaha .

Eu Jin slept real early , David was playing his PSP . Aunty Jenn and Joanne cooked maggi mee for Ai Ling , Ben , Shen Deng , Joanne and Natasha . They all moved their mattresses out from the dorms and placed it in the hall . 5 of them sat in a circle eating maggi mee and chilled till 2 am .

Day 2 -Sunday , all 5 of them woke up at 6am with a special morning call by Ben and his praying mantis .The night before , Natasha was wearing the same CBC green shirt as Shen Deng .In the morning when Shen Deng change his pyjamas into his white shorts , he came out from the bathroom and Natasha was wearing white shorts also ... 5 of them then went hiking up the hill to watch the sunrise , unfortunately it was covered by trees . Earned themselves lots of mosquito bite.

After the hike was the volunteers' devotion session. Picture of the youth together with Aunty Jenn.
Green team.

After breakfast was another teaching session . Day 2 teaching was real tiring because 5 of them only had 4 hours of sleep adding the fact that Shen Deng teaching his group of children ejaan was real difficult . After 2 hours of BM class was another 2 hours of Maths class . When Shen Deng asked them to write an 8 , one of the children wrote an "e" .

David teaching the primary 2 maths.

After 4 hours , it was finally lunch time . Lunch was wonderfully tasty that day . After the children had their lunch , they went plucking fruits from trees for the volunteers.

Langsat.

After lunch , was another praise and worship session for the kids . While they were having their worship session . Aunty Jenn and the youth went to climb a durian tree.

After climbing the tree , they chilled for awhile while the children was still moving the packets of juice out from the hall . Classes resumed at 3 pm, finished at 4.30pm. After that, CBC's volunteers' went to take their bath and pack up ready to head back to Kuala Lumpur . Uncle Jimmy arrived from Kuala Lumpur at Cheroh to fetch the youth back. All of them took pictures with the kids before leaving.

Ai Ling , Ben ,David, Eu Jin, Shen Deng , Joanne , Natasha along with Aunty Jenn . All of them really enjoyed themself lending a helping hand to the orang asli children . Time spent together was really a wonderful time . Whether it's getting mosquito bites , sleeping in a humid place, waiting for the kids to write a letter , finding a lost volleyball ,being called a white hantu, being poked by a praying mantis, PSP-ing, wearing pink slippers, staying up till 4am, almost fell from a tree ,being harmful, getting dirty , getting smelly , feeling tired . It was all WORTH IT & WONDERFUL ! All of them felt happy and honored reaching out to others all for God's glory ! Thank you Aunty Jenn , Uncle Jimmy , Ai Ling , Ben , Eu Jin , David , Joanne and Natasha for everything from Shen Deng :)

The Run. The Fun and Night School Live

2009-08-15T21:38:00.004+08:00

Hello everyone ! Night is here to blog about what happened to Shen Deng and friends from Thursday till Saturday . It was rather an amazingand tiring 3 days for Shen Deng . It was Sri KDU's annual Patriotic Run and Merdeka Carnival .The Patriotic Run and Merdeka Carnival was both held on Friday .

On Wednesday & Thursday, 4 Mozart stayed back after school to work on the stall they will be opening for the Merdeka Carnival . This year 4 Mozart came up with House of Adventure:Night School LIVE ! Something like a haunted house. Inspired from one of the scenes of the short film produced earlier this year.

The attractive poster done by Kristina.

Click there to watch the Night School Scene -> where?. there

4 Mozart stayed back till 7pm in school to decorate the classroom . Some covering the windows with newspaper , some hanging tissue papers on the lights and some working on the maze .

The mannequins were supplied by Wen Fei , it's a pretty awesome prop to have.
Peter , Andrew, Daniel and Alex working on the fake blood by using corn starch , glucose syrup and colouring.
Picture taken in class. Dennis , Victor, Kai Cong , Wen Fei and Failure.

Initially , there was a photography contest for the Merdeka Carnival by Sony and 1st prize was a Sony compact camera . The contest got canceled due to the low ammount of participants . Even though the contest got canceled, Shen Deng requested for the photoshot on Thursday after school. Anyhow Shen Deng would lose the contest because this is what he got.

Failed picture . However Hafidz, Karekhaa and Mei Yi are just awesome models . Sorry Shen Deng wasted all of your precious time . The photography contest theme was One Malaysian,Our Culture . Shen Deng wanted to name this shot "Colourfood" Damm lame ! Hafidz teaching Meiyi how to eat using hands while Kareakhaa looks on .

Hafidz & Meiyi.

After the photoshoot it was back to the classroom to plan on the formation of Night School LIVE.

Discussing when & where ghosts will be popping out , when watergun man will shoot , where the slime comes in and many more .

FRIDAY ! The big day for everyone . In the morning , it was the Patriotic Run event . Shen Deng ran for the 4.5km run . Only the 1st till 20th place participants will receive a medal , haha Shen Deng got the 20th place , loser ! Congratulations to Hui Ying, Kai Cong , Shi Jie and the rest for winning medals . And also not to forget those that gainned one point for green house . Thank you everyone . This year's champion house goes to yellow and blue , a pie I meant tie among two houses . Green house lost all because Shen Deng was in it . Sorry green house people, please go and kill Shen Deng :)

After Patrotic Run , it was the Merdeka Carnival . Stalls were opened by classes selling food and drinks . Beside that , there were also fun and games . Flying Fox , dunking booth and the big big ball that fits people inside of it and I don't know what do you call it.

The catchy front poster made by Yin Li that had helped out tremendously being the secretary making homemade slime and also being the receptionist .

Night School LIVE was the Hiroshima I would say. Opened at 11.40am non-stop till 4pm. It was really a success , customers actually queued up for an hour just to enter Night School LIVE . I guess everyone had fun , people outside collecting money , people inside scaring others . Shen Deng had fun putting slime on others while the victims are all busy crawling . Shen Deng loved throwing flour at people.

Jamie & Carl Lyn

Jamie actually put slime on the mannequint , boys actually touched it and then complained about it. Many things happened inside the room , those people that swears alot got CIDed at the exit , flour, ice , slime and everything nice was thrown onto them . Dao Liang kept spraying water on one dude but that dude continued swearing until he said sorry . 4 Mozart poured out everything on the last 3 group . Used up all the water, blood , ice and slime. Cohen actually took bath for one of the victims.

All of those people working on Night School LIVE didn't managed to eat anything yet they could still stand scaring other people and collecting money . The room was real dark , some of the ghost actually got bruises.

The last batch of the day .
Thank you everyone for your help that made Night School LIVE a success. Thank you all you ghost , watergunman , receptionist, guide, deco team , and media team . Also thank you people from other classes too Huey Jen , Dao Mun , Peter and others. Sorry Shen Deng offended you in any way , sometimes he thinks he is so big but in the inside he's just tiny.
Victor, Nadia & Carl Lyn.Cleanning up was kind of difficult for them. The room was filled with water ,it was slippery because Shen Deng was wearing slipper and listening to Katty Perry . 4 Mozart people moved out all the tables and chairs from the classroom , wiped the tables . Good thing the floor was taken care by the maids .

The next day , Kai Cong & Shen Deng went back to school to help clean up the tables that still has slime all over it .
The classroom after being cleanned by the maids .

Well , that's about it ! Next update will probably be on Shen Deng's one week holiday . See you guys soon . Good Night :)

Cool picture Daniel !

4 Mozart's Class Field Trip

2009-08-10T21:02:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone , Night here . Today I'm going to help Shen Deng to blog about his trip to Taman Warisan Pertanian in Putrajaya along with his classmates . It was 4 Mozart's class field trip to spend some timegetting tan under the sun . All of them gathered in school at 8 am , after having breakfast they board the bus at 9am and it's off to Putrajaya . Shen Deng managed , I meant Shen Deng girlnaged to take some stock footage on the bus for future use . It was approximately a 45 minutes ride until the bus reached Taman Warisan Pertanian .

There's going to be more photos and less writting on this post .

Before departing.

Boarding the bus in school. Somehow Shen Deng says that this picture has got the effect that it is taken somewhere in UK.

Upon arrival.
That's the food court and the entrance of the park . Putrajaya is really a clean place until Shen Deng stepped foot on it . It was really burning hot the time all of them were there at the park . All they did there was looking at different varieties of trees amazingly they all have green leaves. 4 Mozartians walked under the blazzing hot sun guided by the tour guide there at Taman Warisan.
Yes that is the head prefect Geoffrey and the head of discipline prefect Shi Jie breaking the rules.

Where's The Fatty ?!
Right here . This picture is just so hillarious !! Shen Deng couln't stop laughing but he just got to take the shot . The camera was shaking and the picture turned out to be crap as usual .

That's Mr Chew 4 Mozart's homeroom teacher .

After touring around the park taking lots and lots of pictures the group then went back to the food court and had their lunch there . The walk around the park took 2 hours. They then depart from Putrajaya at 1.30 pm , stopped by Mcdonald's and had lunch there again . All of them arrived school at 3 pm , got back to class and chill .

Thank you people that made everyone happy . I feel sorry for all you people out there that had their picture's ruined by Shen Deng's appearance . Shen Deng's going to have a busy week coming up , he's going to be filming and preparing for the Merdeka Carnival on Friday at Sri KDU . Thanks for dropping by have a great day .

Taman Negara Trip

2009-08-03T15:30:00.006+08:00

Hey everyone , it's Shen Deng here. I've just got back from the Taman Negara school trip. Here goes the Taman Negara post ...

On the 31st of July , 31 (i guess) students along with 5 (i guess ) teachers embarked on a journey to Taman Negara ,Pahang, Jelantut . All of us gathered at school at 7.30am and board the bus . It was a 3 hour ride from school to Kuala something . There we had our lunch at the jetty and after lunch it was another 3 hour ride by sampan till we arrived at the chalet where we all will be staying .

Boarding the sampan at the jetty
A 3 hour ride on this vehicle wasn't that bad but I enjoyed it. There were 3 boats used to take all of us there. Each boat with 15 people .
Chen actually brought his sejarah book to ask Mr. Sara to tutor him during the boat ride.
The people on boat 2.
3 hours of boat ride was indeed boring , we entertained ourselves by singing songs . One part we started singing Negaraku and had to stand up , the song was brought to an end .

Selamat datang ke Nusa Resort . The entrance of the chalet we will be staying in. From left : Chen , Han Jun, Andrew , Cohen, Liyond , Eric, Casper, Euncie and Marcus.

I shared the same room as these people . 6 of us in one small room and one small small fan . The room actually only cost Rm15 per night , Rm2.50 for each person . O well, Sometimes we've just got to lower down our standards . From left : Han Jun, Eric , Geoffrey , Casper and Shi Jie

After unpacking our stuff few of us then went to walk around the resort compound .

As you can see on the top right corner of this picture , that building there is the lobby and restaurant of the resort . This is a cool picture suggested by Casper.
Camwhoring. From left Head prefect Geoffrey , myself , Han Jun and Eric at the bottom.

After resting , we had our dinner at 7.30pm . After dinner , we started with our first activity there at Taman Negara . It was the jungle night walk , before that all of us actually shared ghost stories with one and other . At the begining , we all felt kinda scared but after entering and walking a few steps the word that was in my mind was "cheww.." Not that scary , there was a walking path for us , we've got all our torchlights on . The unfortunate thing is we don't really get to see much insects but the awesome thing is it was a dry season there in Taman Negara therefore there wasn't any leech to be found . Yay !

After the night jungle walk , we returned to our rooms and this is where I find the most fun thing on the trip known as CID . Story started off because of Cohen trying to act cool . Cohen kept switching off our room lights and fan while we were resting in our rooms in the evening . Later on that night , Eric came up with a brilliant plan called CID . At night , when Cohen is peacefully resting in his room along with his roommates , as they are preparing to enter their sleeping zone . Then goes a "BANG" CID CID ! CID !!! . Eric and I would bang their room door , entering the room shouting CID FBI shining both our torchlights at Cohen's eyes waking him up failing to sleep . The CID-ing went on every 15 minutes . Until 1.30 am , teachers actually locked down only my room door . Damm sad case . 6 of us locked in a small room .

In the morning , I received all the complaints from everyone . After having our breakfast , we then continued on our 2nd activity which was jungle trekking .

" To the peak ! " Cohen, Chen , Eric , Casper , Mr Jaya and Mr Sara .

I didn't manage to take many photos as I obviously was climbing a mountain , all of us needed motivation that's why Eric and I started singing The Climb by Miley Cyrus . After awhile we got to hear some people saying "shut up lah " far ahead of us .

Half way to the mountain top .

Camwhoring at the mountain top . From left : Kristina , Cohen , Dao Liang at the top , myself , Eric , Carl Lyn and Yin Li .

The hike took half and hour , after that we've got to go down using the same way we hiked up .

Can you spot the jungle ghost ?

After the hike we then had our lunch and after lunch we continued with our 3rd activity which was the canopy walk . I didn't took any pictures for the 3rd acitivty and the 4th activity which was the rapid shooting because my camera might get wet . After the canopy walk , we went for rapid shooting . Its a weird name to call it , we all got into the sampan and the boat just went extra faster and just go through small rapids . All we did was just splashing water to other people.

After coming back from the 4th activity which was also the last activity . We cleaned ourselves up and ate dinner , after dinner we had BBQ and had a drama session . After drama the fun begins again . CID day 2 . Eric and I called it the CID Finale . At 2.30 am , Eric and I banged into Cohen's room again this time I've brought my camera flashlight along flashing everyone . Cohen's roommate Marcus actually took the key and locked Eric and I in the room , however I just kept flashing till I found the key and then went back to our room . Eric and I went back to our room celebrated the victory and went to sleep . After 10 minutes , Cohen and gang banged our room door down and our room had been ISA-ed . Revenged was made , Eric threw cookies into Cohen's room and I placed toothpaste on their room switch and then off their room fan . Slept at 3 .30am the 2nd night .

Eric and I was CID . The Cohen room gang was ISA containing Cohen , Liyond , Chen , Andrew , Dao Liang and Marcus . Marcus gave Eric and I a damm damm scary face the 1st day of CID . Eric and I got scared and stopped the CID-ing.

Day 3 we all managed to wake up at 7.30am , took bath and had breakfast . After that we then board the boat and its bye bye Taman Negara. Most of us CIDers slept on the 3 hour boat ride . I did not sleep during the bus ride . We all played card games on board the bus until we reached school . We all reached school at 5 pm and went back home .

It's a great trip I would say , spending time with nature and friends was awesome indeed . All of us had an amazing time there relaxing , even thought we've got no air cons and our rooms are small . We still enjoyed ourselves having fun with friends bathing in ice cool water . I now love my air con much more than ever :) Thank you all for making this trip another fun and splendid trip :)

Cheers :)

Time really does fly with just another blink of an eye many things had passed and soon many things are about to come like ... class test 3 . Yeah eat that ShenDeng hope you failed this time .

Paramount Championship
Let's start of with Paramount Championship at Sri KDU . An event that is held every year , a combination of many competitions from debate, public speaking to dancing , singing and many more . ShenDeng the loser took part in the band competition and the short film competition .Yes he's real bad in filming but still actually directed the 4 Mozart class short film . It was a great day for ShenDeng ... 4 Mozart class won gold for the short film event . Congratulations to you all actors and actresses that had put in so much effort ! Thank you for acting in Shen Deng's crap film even though the directing was bad . Congratulations to everyone too to those who won other events .Sad thing was 4 Mozart didn't made it for band ,the band was great but ShenDeng was just so so bad . Sorry guys . Eat that ShenDeng!

Here are some pictures photographed by ShenDeng's sifu- Tzer Thorng .

Receiving the gold medal for the short film event . Daniel wore a blazer to look cool and made a fake cigar along with a fake lighter . Does look cool though. After receiving the medals , 4 Mozart's short film was premiered on the screen in the hall . Turns out that it went well . The film was entertaining and the audience was awesome !

One of the cool thing for the short film was it actually won a special award for Best Creativity , no one really expected it . There was special trophyies for special awards , then again ShenDeng and Daniel went up on stage to receive the award .

This time Daniel brought up sparkling wine and popped it up on stage then poured it into the trophy . ShenDeng being brainless drank from the trophy that hasn't ever been washed .

It was a great day indeed having loads on fun .
Picture of Athirah & Rachel practicing for their duet singing competition.
Then again , Shen Deng would like to thank all of you people that acted for his crappy film . Thank you all for your great effort ,time , patience and understanding . Without you people ShenDeng would never made it ! ShenDeng would like to appologize if he in any way had offended you . Thank You very much people !

I've seen quite a few people bloging about food these days . People actually take pictures of the delicious sumptous meal they are eating. Well , since that's the trend then I shall follow .

That's a delicious Korean stone rice . However ShenDeng ate finish already.

That's a banana , ShenDeng also ate finish already.

Movie day out

Harry Potter came out on Thursday. ShenDeng went along with few of his classmates to watch the movie . After school ShenDeng and friends went to the curve . It was a 2 and a half hour movie , not just a 2 and a half hour movie but a 2 and a half hour of boring stuff . Harry Potter: The half blood prince was really dissapointing . However Emma Watson is way tooooooo pretty and hot ! When Emma came up on screen ShenDeng __________ (fill in the blanks ) and then he _________________ and when Emma was wearing the dress ShenDeng ______________ . He was like __________ it's __________ ! Soooo ___________ and _____ and _______________ . Keep dreaming ShenDeng.. loser

Go Emma !!

Friday 17/7/09
It was Eunice's birthday , celebrated in school and after that went to Curve to watch Harry Potter again . Weird thing was that watching Harry Potter for the second time is not bad , ShenDeng got to understand more even though he has a thick skull . Go Emma once again !!
After the movie , Casper and ShenDeng went to watch the Manchester United training session in Bukit Jalil. Got to see players training , the disappointing thing was that they didn't play a match against each other . Out of matchsticks perhaps.

Saturday 18/7/09

ShenDeng & Geoffrey playing iphone lightsaber.

Saturday was Sri KDU's annual Swimming Gala . ShenDeng went there initially for orchestra practice but only 4 students showed up and so he ,Casper and Eunice went to watch the swimming competition . ShenDeng went there not to watch people swim nor cheer for her sister but to see girls ... Congratulations Hui Ying for winning 4 medals for the swimming competition unlike your brother ,useless .

ShenDeng brought his camera there too , his sifu was there to teach him to take pictures. Thank you Tzer Thorng for wasting your time. Here are some few stupid pictures taken by ShenDeng.

Hey everyone , Night here. It's back to school for lifeless Shen Deng . He missed Malaysia during his 2 week holiday , 1st week was in Laos came back 3 days for VBS and then went to London . Shen Deng did not enjoy London much it was really tiring . However London's a beautiful place , HOT GIRLS !!!! cool weather , clean and tidy . Shen Deng was just home sick .

Shen Deng has not got time to update much about London since there's school now.

Shen Deng made a short film during the mid year school holiday, check it out .

Cast : Casper Chia . Lih Seng . Daniel Chew . Tzer Thorng . Eunice Wong
Shen Deng also got a Director of Photography taking awesome astonishing pictures during the making of the film .
Director of Photography : Tzer Thorng. To check out pictures taken click there . there

The Making :
Shen Deng's an air con not a fan of Prison Break so he figured out that he should make a spoof for the opening credits of the Prison Break Series . The whole short short 36 second film was edited on board the plane from London to Malaysia, it was a 12 hour flight and it's a good thing Shen Deng brought his laptop and charger . It was quite fun editing on the plane according to Shen Deng , the plane was experiencing terbulance most of the time .

The film being edited on plane.

Thank you everyone that acted in Shen Deng's useless film !

Here are some pictures taken of cool answers from mid year exam papers.

Laos Trip

2009-06-06T19:13:00.005+08:00

Night here I did not went along with Shen Deng to Laos because even though AirAsia says everyone can fly, pets like me have no wings , didn't get to see what he did there in Laos well so Shen Deng himself shall tell you about his astonishing and amazingly exciting Laos trip.

Hello everyone,well for some of you that don't know , I went on a school trip to Laos with 9 students including myself and 3 teachers from Sri KDU, the purpose of the entire trip was to pay a visit to a rural village there in Laos which needed help ; the students and teachers went there to give them the money that has been collected from the students of Sri KDU for the pass few months for that particular village , enabling the village to get a slightly better life .

It all started off on Friday , I managed to pack my bag for the trip in less than 2 hours. Slept for 2 hours woke up at 5.30 am and it was off to the airport. Sat on AirAsia , it was a 2 hour flight and unfortunately the stewardess on board all have fierce faces but still they have to serve me drinks , who's the boss man ! It was a rather cool thing sitting beside a Lao citizen , he speaks fluent english and Lao , I got to learn a little bit of Lao from him .The students were told that we need to memorize few Lao phrases in order to communicate with the villagers , all students have a paper with few of the basic Lao phrases . I was able to get all the nonsense phrases from the passenger beside me on the plane such as " Koi Hak Chao " means i love you , beautiful is "ngam" nice is "d" . Later then only I found out that the passenger sitting beside me is an english teacher teaching in a college in Laos .

Arrived Laos in the morning around 10.30 am . Met up with the tour guide there in Laos- Mr Vieng , an awesome guy !

At the airport , these are few of the people that came along the trip. There were 9 students including me - Ann , Candice, Marcus , Han Jun , Wen Jie , Samantha , Karekhaa and Nicole .

After the airport , check-ed in to a hotel . It's a nice hotel , has a refrigerator , a TV which has HBO , Star Movies , Discovery Channel , AXN and many more . Icing on the cake was that they even have wifi.

First day in Laos , we spend our time sight seeing, visiting the temples of Laos as Laos is more towards the Buddhism culture ; a country that has a lot of he's story. 1st stop was a small temple build by some old king long long time ago as a place to learn Buddhism .

I took lots of pictures however I don't want to waste too much time uploading them . I've got more better things to do like counting the grass in the garden and watering the plants.

2nd stop was a building. Forgotten what it's called . We climbed till the top of the building and manage to catch a scenic view of the town .

At the top , I think this is the last vivid picture of my skin colour before I became tan .

Third stop again was a temple/candi as written in the sejarah book.

There are 30 stupas in this candi, a stupa is the pointy thingy ,the huge stupa is the top one . If I have not mistaken long time ago stupas were build as a monument to remember the dead.

Last stop of the day was Buddha Park . It's a beautiful place contains lots and lots of meaningful statues passing on a valuable message to people . Yet again I'm lazy to post all of the pictures taken there . sorry ...

That's the biggest statue found there . If I have not mistaken, rich people in Laos donates money to make a statue and place it here in Buddha Park like an offering ... I think . There's statues like what we've learn in sejarah - Vishnu , Brahman , the 3 headed elephant which I forgotten what's the use of it .
It's a really nice place to take pictures .

Also managed to take some lousy yet interesting shots there.
This somehow looks like the cover of the CBC church's bulletin . Hah.

After all the sight-seeing we all went back to our hotel , went out for dinner and when we got back to the hotel after dinner , we packed sweets for the kids at the village that we will be seeing on the next day .

DAY 2
Village Day !

Woke up at 7am , had breakfast and it's off to the village. After 2 hours sitting in the bus we arrived at the village ,we went to the school 1st .

That's the school .

Few of the kids there. I think the girl in the purple shirt is really cute when she smiles . (I'm talking about the above picture )
From left - Candice , Karekhaa , Nicole , Wen Jie , Shen Deng , Han Jun , Samantha , Ann. Marcus taking the photo.It was just the 1st day so the kids were a little shy.

The ceremony was supposed to be held on the 1st day we arrive at the village , but then it was a Sunday and there was a miscommunication so the district governor was not able to make it so we shift day 2 's agenda to the first day which is the renovation work for the school. The school was actually on the ground, tables and chairs weren't stable . The plan was to change the ground into cement for a more comfortable studying enviroment .

Aim : To make a better studying enviroment

Apparatus : Shovel , bucket , ( tumbuk / compressor )- I don't know what's it called you'll see it later , bricks , cement.

Manipulated Variable: Presence of cash and help from Sri KDU
Responding Variable: A great enviroment to study
Controlled Variable: Language

Procedure:

Step 1 : Soil is taken from the ground at the outside compartment of the school . Soil is then filled into the bucket.

Step 2 : Soil in the bucket is transferred into the school compartment

Precaution: Take care of cute little kids
Step 3 : Soil is then compressed into the ground using the tumbuk/compressor ( hey this picture is not bad , there was an article about Sri KDU's help to this rural village on the newspaper on the fourth day while we were there , this picture was used in the article )
Step 4 which is done by the villagers : Sand is then place on the soil followed by cement.

Cement was only placed on the 2nd day when we were there and they only was able to cover half of the school with cement as we were all using the area . By now I think it's already in good shape :) . The mistake was I din't take a picture of the part with cement but instead I took a video . Night: Nice one loser :D!

Well I can tell you it wasn't easy at all in fact it was really tiring , the soil was being compressed simultaneously soil was kept beeing added in. We've got to compress the ground until it reaches a certain height . It'll be like making a cake while a boy just keep eating the cake but then you must make the cake until it reaches a certain shape . Hmm , if you get what I mean.

Night : Shen Deng says that the girl has got potential to be Miss Laos.

That's the end of the 1st day in the village. Took another 2 hour ride back to the hotel . Everyone was exhausted.

Day 3 ( 2nd day at the village )

We had the welcoming ceremony for the people from Sri KDU . The district governor was there with the head of the village and few other important people . Sri KDU did 3 things to the village with the money donated by the students of Sri KDU .The money was used for the village project in 3 different ways. 1 was the supply of bricks and cement , 2nd was the goats providing the villagers livestock and 3rd - money to build the water pump allow villagers to gain access to clean water . The ceremony was of course to announce the great effort of Sri KDU . After the ceremony there was a traditional ceremony called " basi " .

Han Jun giving a speech in Lao language. We were all in our traditional cloths on that day .Would like to thank Hafidz for lending me his Baju Melayu :) Thanks dude !

We sat around some decorated base , there was someone praying there and then villagers will come up to us tying treads onto our wrist . It was awesome to see a little of their culture there in
Laos.

After the ceremony we went to visit the goats that are given to the families of the village . There were 42 goats bought by Sri KDU each household receives 2 goats .

The stuffs that were given to the childrenMy #1 model

After the ceremony we then went back to the school , we spend time with the kids there giving out stickers to them. Some how it's just amazing seeing their happy faces receiving shinny colourful stickers . When I was small I don't really like stickers , but sometimes if someone would just give stickers to me I would use it for fun but definitely I would never accept Salemon stickers nor Hello Kitty stickers or any other girly stickers . The kids there in Laos however is like their 1st time seeing stickers , for them it doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl to have Hello Kitty stickers . I see girls with the power ranger stickers, boys with Hello kitty stickers isn't a problem , they were all so happy :) Ah I just realize I wrote one whole lot of crap there ....
Night : It's worst than crap , you just wrote one whole lot of lobster there ..

We also got each and every children a name tag to make our life way more easier , we wrote their names in english . There were names such as-sour, soy, tok and many more . Apparently we also had our names written in Lao .
That's Shen Deng

After the village work , we went back to our hotel and went walking around the streets there shopping. One sad thing is that Mcdonald's or KFC can't be found in Laos . However , we found a replacement for Starbucks !

True Coffee, probably the best shop I've been to there in Laos .

Pictures taken while cruising the streets there at ViengTien

Day 4 ( 3rd day/last day in village )

Woke up at 6 am again , after breakfast we checked out from the hotel and took another 2 hour ride to the village . After the village we then took another 2 hour ride to VangVien for more sight seeing for day 5 in Laos .

It's the final day in the village , we were all somehow sad knowing it's the last day there . Didn't did much on the last day , went to the school again give out the colour pencils and toys for the kids .

Ah you actually get to see the people working on the cement in the background of this picture
Taught them some drawing skills

Nicole and Sam taught the boys how to look cool .
Nicole drew a card for them as a memory
Thinking backwards Sri KDU did many great things there in the rural village , Sri KDU have provided livestock , a beautiful enviroment for studying and lastly clean water . The people there was very happy that Sri KDU was there lending a helping hand . I've learn many things too , to appreciate what I have now. Sometimes people just tell me to not waste things but the problem is that I've never really seen the other people who do not have such privillage . Well , got to be thankful for what we all have compared to the others .

After the village it was a 2 hour ride to Vang Vien which is another city , we arrive there in the evening checked in to a beautiful hotel.

That's the hotel
That's the view of the hotel.

That's the room of the hotel.

Spent just one night at the hotel.

Day 5

Woke up again at 6am had breakfast while enjoying the breath taking view. 1st stop of the day was a cave . After the cave we went tubing , what we do is we rent a tube sit on it and just flow along the river . It was really fun except I lost my glasses .

Some of you observant people might realize I am wearing the same cloth . Apparently there's such thing called laundry there in Laos . Perfect for a dude that has only 7 shirt.

Pictures taken near the cave

On the left is Mr David our great tour guide from Malaysia .

There was no pictures taken for the tubing because no one actually care taking the risk bringing our camera along the river. We all did flying fox at the river . We climbed up onto a tree hang on the bar and just glide down and after that releasing ourselves into the river and then swim to the side . It was totally fun !! I wasn't aware of my glasses despite the excitement I was haing at that moment , it was only when I got up from the river and I notice everything I see was blur .

After tubing we went back to the hotel , check-ed out and then it's a 5 hour ride back to VangTien .We spent one last night there at the same hotel we stayed in the 1st night . The next morning it was off to the airport and back to Malaysia . If I would say it was a great trip for me even though I am now tan, dark and black ; even if the colour of the shadow of me and myself makes no difference I can say that it's all worth it !

Night : Thanks for wasting your time reading all that crap Shen Deng wrote. I'll see you guys next time . Bye !

Bye guys :) Thank you to everyone that was on the trip ! For everything :)

Shen Deng is back from Laos , from what I heard he had an amazing trip. His trip will be up soon so prepare for a long monotenous post coming soon .

EXAMS ARE OVER !!!

2009-05-29T00:25:00.003+08:00

Shen Deng's exams are over . Hope he fails in every subject . 2 weeks of exams time does fly fast just another 2 more weeks and the holidays are over . Well , got to spend the holiday time wisely and have fun . I hope Shen Deng falls sick and not be able to go out and play .

Well the exams finished on Thursday morning , all Shen Deng did was he went to school and finish doing the last paper for the mid year exam . After an hour everyone gone home . Unfortunately Shen Deng was invited for a party - Jamie's party . And so Shen Deng went back home get changed in the same old cloths and off to one you .

Lame Shen Deng's present to Jamie . Mineral water. It still is the best present to give someone on their birthday .( Thanks Jamie for the picture )

Daniel went to Cold Storage and bought 2 bottles of sparkling wine .

Poured into the cup tower , Cheers for Jamie's birthday and the end of mid year exams .
Daniel , Peter , - and Alex

Shen Deng obviously has no life , he's having a movie marathon . He's really outdated watching movies that have been out for ages . 1st movie was Obsessed . Woh ! I watched it with Shen Deng and all I have to say is Ali Larter is really really hot !!!! 15/10 for Ali Larter and I'll give a 7/10 for the movie . Ali was so hot that Shen Deng's computer almost got burned . Fortunately there are many pictures of Shen Deng on his laptop that lower down the temperature so I get to watch the whole entire movie .

After Jamie's party Shen Deng and friends went to watch Monsters VS Aliens . A really awesome movie , I'll steal Shen Deng's money and pay full price to watch this film .

If any of you guys are going to watch this movie , do do watch it in 3D it's going to be awesome experience. It's 100 times better than Bolt adding the fact that the story and animation was great. .

After Monsters VS Aliens Shen Deng then went to watch Star Trek . Shen Deng says it's too great . Has the same level of rating as The Dark Knight. A person that is not going to watch Star Trek will be like eating ice cream without ice .

Star Trek rating -100/10

A Wicked Week

2009-05-10T15:18:00.000+08:00

Hey people ! I'm back without anything on my back not even a small little bag . Well , it has been a long long time since I updated this blog about Shen Deng's lame life . I have been dead , Shen Deng placed me in a place where I can't do anything but suffer .

Shen Deng's chair spoiled , and he's back will feel pain when sitting on the chair as he's back bone will press on the plastic bar .In order to feel more comfortable f , he needed something soft and I was the only thing there . Shen Deng did not care . Shen Deng is heartless . Go kill yourself Shen Deng.

I manage to get out of there . This blog is now alive again , I'm back again to talk about annoying Shen Deng . Well since it has been ages this blog was updated . I shall now blog about Shen Deng's amazingly lifeless week. Where do we begin ....

Last week was an exciting week for Shen Deng , he had many things going on . There 's band competition and duet acting competition , and now there's just 1 more week for the mid year examination. Lots of things happened to Shen Deng recently too , too bad he din't hurt himself , that would be so nice and fun to watch .

Tuesday, Happy Birthday to you Joyce .Wednesday was the duet acting competition , Shen Deng & his friend Daniel was in it they both got the script but haven't memorized it yet . Fortunately Shen Deng & Daniel was able to memorize it and finish the script and performed well on Wednesday , din't mess up any parts and it went well . Well , he does not know the results yet but I hope he won't win the duet acting competition . Well most importantly Daniel & Shen Deng had fun :)

Thursday , one more day till the band competition . Shen Deng , Alex , Geoffrey , Rachel, Shifaa and Peter had their final practice before the preliminary round for the band competition . They went to the studio for the practice . I can conclude that Shen Deng was never a man but a girl . He brought his camera there on that day to take some pictures of the band practice , Shen Deng and friends saw Jacklyn Victor at the studio and Shen Deng did not even dare to ask Jacklyn Victor to take a picture with him . Shen Deng's a loser . Owh well , here are some lousy pictures taken by a lousy photographer Shen Deng during the band practice .

Alex

Geoffrey & Rachel

Shifaa

Peter wasn't there , he had something on.

Friday- Happy Birthday to you Jeremy. The highlight of the day was of course the band competition , everyone was great on stage except for the drummer , he's beats are all so irregular , it's simply because the drummer was Shen Deng . Well band competition and the duet acting is over . The only thing left now for Shen Deng is to edit the short film and study for the mid year exams. All the best to you Shen Deng I hope you fail ....badly . Shen Deng and his sister went to celebrate mother's day with their grandmother Saturday night . And then went back to mum's house that night after the dinner .

Sunday- Mother's Day ! Here's what lifeless people like Shen Deng does on Mother's Day, he slips a card into his mum's room door on Saturday night while his mum is sleeping . Next morning on mother's day , Shen Deng's mum woke up and see the card " Look out the window "

And that's what you get looking out the window on Mother's Day . The red stuff are flowers and the white stuff are tissue paper.

Here's the story behind the lame plan of Shen Deng . On Saturday night , Mother's day eve , Shen Deng and his neighbour Tetsuo went to the park at midnight , Shen Deng needed to get those red flowers for the decoration . After plucking the flowers for 20 minutes . Shen Deng and Tetsuo sat by the swing at the park looking at the bright and beautiful moon chilling , talked about stuff till 2 am in the morning . Got back home , Shen Deng had to wait for his mum to sleep then only get to decorate. From 3 am till 3.20 am , just 20 minutes of lame and ugly decoration Shen Deng was able to make a nice picture .

Well that's about it , Shen Deng will be busy for the next 4 weeks , he won't be using the computer and hence I won't be updating the blog because I don't know how to on the computer .Well when I'm back I'll take you behind the scenes of Shen Deng's short film competition . Here's a little preview .

The short film theme this year is THS:True Hollywood Story . It's all about interviews and Shen Deng is making a interview about his classmate - Jamie's life . Shen Deng's plan is to interview Jamie and then showing previews of the films Jamie had done . Shen Deng plan is lame .... I'll tell you more next time.

Not to forget Happy Birthday to you Vanessa ! May you not only grow old but also grow up ( if you get what i mean) . Alright that's all guys , thanks for reading i'll see you guys soon . Bye

Christmas Day:

Ai Ling picked Shen Deng up from his home at 9am in the morning and went to Kompleks Muhibah where the Christmas Carnival was held.Shen Deng arrived there at 9.15 am and set up the game booth . Shen Deng had fun there with Kingdom Youth .

Shen Deng went for a health test with Natasha . There was this part where they need Shen Deng's blood for blood sugar test , there was a needle that was really scary for Shen Deng becasue SHE is a coward , the needle poked Shen Deng's finger and he cried like a girl , nah , joking . The pain didn't last that long for him and he did it all for Ai Ling . Natasha was so brave ! She was not even scared and was cool the whole time .

She can still actually smile.

The results show that Shen Deng is under weight . Blood pressure and blood sugar is normal . Natasha's results is normal .Shen Deng is cacat-ed.

Shen Deng's back from church camp !

2008-12-09T17:26:00.000+08:00

Shen Deng's back from Genting ,I'm going to miss the days without him . I can tell he had an awesome time there attending the church youth camp . He brought back the laptop from his mum's house and he told me everything that happened during the camp , and now since I've got the laptop I shall blog about the story that Shen Deng told me :)

Day 1
Arrived at Genting View Resort at around 12 in the afternoon . It's actually Shen Deng's 1st time attending youth camps . His sister also joined him . After arriving at the resort , everyone collected a booklet about everything that's going to happen throughout the camp . Each person was split into groups , Shen Deng's a lousy leader and he got to be the leader of a group . His group name was Amazing Avfyra ,Avfyra = fire(in Swedish) . The 1st day was all about chilling and there was a session at night by Pastor Victor . And that night , the KD youth celebrated Michelle's birthday at midnight .

Day 2
Dylan , Ben and Shen Deng went swimming early in the morning at 7am . Then in the morning there were games and after that there was a painting T-Shirt session . And then there was another session at night by Pastor Victor again , according to Shen Deng he says Pastor Victor is a very interesting and entertaining pastor . The KD youth team played for the worship session that night . Everyone was awesome except for lame Shen Deng ,the KD youth worship team did fine and everyone was worshiping and playing at the same time.

Day 3
According to Shen Deng, day 3 was the best ! In the morning , Ai Ling, Dylan , Ben and Shen Deng went swimming again at 7am . There was a session in the morning and then a workshop and there was a long chill time, many people from the KD youth were dunk into the swimming pool . The dinner theme for the night was "Wild & Whacky " Shen Deng , Dylan, Ben and Daniel got the guts to dress up as girls .Shen Deng and Dylan both wore a skirt . After dinner there was a final session . And since it was the last night , Adelyn, Ben , Dylan ,Samuel,Michelle ,Natasha , Vanessa, Falonnie, Felicia, Clarissa, Shen Deng and his sister were all chilling outside the dorm . They played many games until it was 2 in the morning , everyone then decided to go to bed , Ben went to chill somewhere else and left Dylan , Vanessa , Shen Deng, Adelyn and Natasha chilling. Once it was 3am , Natasha went to bed and left the 4 of them . They then turned drunk and talk about many crazy things . Dylan, Shen Deng and Vanessa fell asleep at the chilling place and Adelyn went back to her dorm . Then left the 3 of them and they fell asleep on the table and chairs outside the dorm.

Day 4
The last day of the camp, they announced the winner for the games and it was Amazing Avfyra.Everyone then collected their T-Shirts that they painted and went back to church by bus. It is where Shen Deng's mum picked up Shen Deng and his sister .

Well,Shen Deng says he learned many things in this camp . And he is looking forward for the next camp . I sure hope that he applies what he had learn and follow the right way. He told me a line that he likes from the camp , it was like "How can you curse people with the same mouth that you use to praise the Lord ".

Here are some pictures throughout the camp :) Taken by Adelyn, Natasha and Jean.All the blur and lousy pictures were taken using Shen Deng's cheap phone.

2008-12-05T16:33:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone ! Night here , I want to say that I really really hate Shen Deng . First of all , Shen Deng's room was freezing cold last night , I was beside Shen Deng and he has a huge quilt that is enough for two person and he use it to only cover HERself . I was freezing last night and i could not even sleep well . This morning Shen Deng woke up early , I think a text message from his phone woke him up around 9 .30 am . He took his bath and he left the room until i heard him playing the drums at 11am till 12.30pm . He keeps playing the same thing over and over again . After he finish playing his drums he took his bath and then went out . I heard him on the phone saying he is going to his friend Casper's house,bastard...left me alone . I won't be seeing him till Tuesday as he had gone to his mum's house and will be at Genting attending his church's camp . I won't be missing him . See you guys then :)
