I wanna McDonald’s

This morning, from out of a sudden, I was craving for McDonald’s very much. The M word popped out from my mind, just like that.

Perlis is the only state in Malaysia that has NO McDonald’s. A lot of outstation students, especially from the big cities kept complaining about this. Most of us, having no choice, chose KFC, Pizza Hut or Secret Recipe for restaurant food.

A word of notice, I am not that rich. I just want to have some variety in my food. That’s all.

I specifically crave McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Cheeseburger. Looks so yummy.

Then again, at McDonald’s, you won’t get the burger as advertised on newspaper or billboards. Normally you will only get about 1/3 of the size you see on TV or internet.

Ah, whatever, what the heck. I could stand the temptation anymore. So after my test, I cycled to nearest KFC to buy Zinger Burger.

Then I brought it all the way back home.

Wooo yum yum… But then again, I don’t really get what I see. There’s too few salad vegetables hmmm.

My receipt. Zinger cost me 6 bucks. Ouch, but still cheaper than major McDonald’s burgers.

Anyway, I would love to have McDonald’s anytime soon, but I am in no rush. :)

God bless you all!

My MUET slip

I just received my Malaysian University English Test (MUET) registration slip from hostel management office. To be honest, I am very eager to know the dates and where I am going to have the daunting test.

I opened it without further ado. Yes, I am certainly excited LOL

So here are the details of the exams. Thankfully, I am going to have my speaking test at May 4th, which is before the date that I have booked my flights home. Phew really relieved.

Furthermore, the school where I am going to have my test is also not that far away. Probably a bike ride will get me there already. Hmmm

To be honest, I have done NOTHING AT ALL for my MUET. I am thinking my former F6 classmates have to prepare for about a year for MUET, and yet it’s about 3 weeks before MUET and I have done absolutely nothing.

What the heck…

I have bought this MUET book since 2008, before I went to Form 6. It’s with me now here, but till now I have yet to really take a read from it. I am such a bad bad student. :(

Anyway, I will just do it. :)

God bless you all!

My favourite lunch place

My timetables for this semester is pretty packed, from morning all the way till evening. Thus I have no choice but to have my lunch somewhere near my school.

This post is somehow like a tribute to my really favourite eating stalls to have lunch. Here is it.

Ya, we call this stall Ayam Percik stall. It is famous around this area for it’s grilled chicken with special sauce.

Say anything about the potential hazards of grilled food, I just like it very much. I would be delighted if I can have grilled chicken heart or liver, because they just taste damn good.

A piece of chicken like this cost 2 bucks.  I just can’t find this anywhere as, well, at least in Kuala Perlis area.

So basically my typical lunch will be like this. A piece of chicken, and some other dishes available there.

Ya, the above seems to reveal that I am very carnivorous, but sadly there were not much edible vegetables that time. Such lunch cost me 4 bucks, sometimes lower. Still, not too bad for me. KFC is even more expensive. :P

I think I should explore more street foods here, and limit myself from going to KFC too much. Hahaha :)

God bless you all!

Kuala Perlis public library

Few days ago I made a visit to Kuala Perlis public library just to kill off my waiting time of my next lecture. It’s just a stone throw away from my school actually.

From the outside, it does look quite big, a bungalow library. However, it’s not that big in the inside.

That’s just about the size of the adult’s section at upstairs. Kids’ section at downstairs and I am not interested about it. Hehe…

As you can see above, not much books are there with 3++ open-book shelves. The English books collection is rather limited as well. Hmmm

Nevertheless, it is a perfect place for those school students to come here by bicycles and study in groups.

Just like this. They had some enclosed discussion rooms. However, it’s not allowed for both genders to mix here. It means boys and girls are not allowed to sit together anywhere in the library.

“Lelaki sahaja.” Boys only in this table. Girls are other side. This is applicable practice in all libraries in Perlis.

I know their good intention to prevent fornications, but I just hope their good won’t result into more gays and lesbians. Hmmm…

Even so, some don’t care about it.

These are the reference collections, which is not allowed to be borrowed out. It’s such as shame because majority of good books are here.

As for me, my visit there is just this.

To read that Reader’s Digest for FREE. I don’t need to pay 15 bucks to buy Reader’s Digest anymore. Hehe :p

In a nutshell, I like to drop by this library just to get some air-conditioned and exercise my mind. :)

Note that it’s actually not permitted to take photos inside the library. I didn’t get any permission either. So, whatever, catch me if you want to. :)

God bless you all!

Fooling around at Kangar

I was at Kangar this morning right after the Sunday Mass.

For those who are really poor in Geography, Kangar is the capital town of the state of Perlis, in the far north of Malaysian Peninsular.

It was a bright morning. What I did hear was just fooling around and snap some photos. Nothing else but to revive my blog and keep myself occupied. :)

Obviously I need to get a bank to get some cash to survive this week. I just hope I won’t overspend again this time hmmm.

But wait, look at these…

Somebody sitting there with a donation box. This made me remember of my Red Crescent days during flag sale. But he didn’t ask anyone to donate. Just sit there, play messaging, relaxing away hmmm… But it’s really for a good cause la.

It also makes me remember Penang Diocese recent Lenten Campaign theme – Love Your Neighbour. To do more charitable works.

I wish I can help out too even though different in religion. Sadly my wallet is just too tight, and no small change inside. Duh me…. :(

Ah whatever. I went inside the bank I saw another shocker.

Aiyoyo why in such a messy wetness??!! The floor is stinking wet! And look closely to the dustbin…

EWWW!!!! Can’t you have any better ways to contain leaked water other than using the dustbin!!! Oh please… make my cash-getting experience so bad.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look at this billboard.

Err, which one is “hanya yang terbaik” (only the best)?? Do you mean you only provide the best Japanese/Korean girls?? Huh?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supermarkets in Kangar are quite strange. Let me tell you why.

We all know that major supermarkets provide deposit service for us customers to put in our belongings before entering their place. Yes, it’s available in Kangar too.

However, this service is CHARGEABLE in 2 major supermarkets in Kangar. :(

What the heck.

I don’t know what cost those supermarkets so much to provide this service free of charge. This means that even though I only deposit in this small plastic bag due to their rules…

… I have to pay them 1 buck. ONE FREAKING BUCK. Not happy but what can I do. I just don’t carry any bags if I need to shop. Whatever.

So that’s all from me. Hope you enjoy your days ahead.

God bless you all!

Can somebody fix this? :(

It’s already been an open secret that water shortages has always been a constant problem in my hostel.

And I think I know why. Look at this water tank just outside my hostel.

There’s a leak there FOR FAR TOO LONG. I wonder if they have any bad feeling of wasting water because water just leaks out DAY AND NIGHT! Continuously all the freaking time!!

For goodness sake, the earth does not have enough clean water supply already. To add wound the salt, now is STILL the draught season where it’s all dry and hot. Any more water supply disruption (other than the one that could solve this problem ONCE AND FOR ALL) will be very very unwelcomed. Students are not happy.

Somebody gotta fix this problem. I just cannot bear to see the water leak out any longer. PLEASE.

God bless you all!

KFC Colonel Briyani rice

I am always a fan of KFC, and when I heard this new product from the radio, I just can’t wait to try it.

Colonel Sander showing off the new product. I am actually more excited because this is the 1st time KFC introduce something new for their rice menu. We as Asians should always eat rice, not freaking potatoes.

As you can see from the suggested servings, it consists of a piece each of original and spicy fried chicken, a spice soup, Coke, rice and an alarm clock, all for about 15 bucks. You can opt not to have alarm clock for about 10 bucks.

Hmmm however I chose to take Jom Jimat Set A (which only cost RM6.20 so damn cheap) since the rice is there as well!

Here is it!

The rice is certainly more dark yellow than before. Surprisingly it’s also so nice to eat! One can feel the spices’ aroma when the rice is in the mouth. Coupled with coleslaw and chicken, it’s simply fantastic!

I would say this is a definite thumb up from KFC after too many overpriced new products. Go Go KFC! Haha :)

God bless you all!
