Camera?

* The crowd at 10 pm

Believe your eyes as this is what happen outside Berjaya Times Square on the 26th of September, 10 pm... Oops, forgot to indicate what is going on with all this people flooding the main pathway outside Berjaya Times Square's main entrance. Skinny-T, Sony latest cybershot digital camera was launched on the 27th of September and they are having this so-called Craze-Buy event. I think whoever that went for the PS3 launching event know how was the crowd is expected to be, in fact the PS3 one was even worst (heard from rumours).

So i knew this news from Kha Liang when we were doing the final touch up of our Verilog assignment. It sounds like a great news to me as I m hoping to get a Sony camera for tak-tahu-berapa-lama centuries long.

And TADA... here we are outside Times Square (as shown in the picture above). At 1st I thought of i could have purchase that slim camera at a price of RM388, but the crowd somehow told me that "Hey, dream on dude! Get back to ur queue!"

* Crowd at 12 pm

* Maybe at 2 am... I don know

So with no other choice, we overnight outside the Times Square (the pathway that cars normally used, not the one that reserved for homo-sapiens). Trust me, the floor that is even harder than anything you could ever imagine. So the basic routine I did for the entire night is to sit - 30 mins, stand - 30 mins (eh, a bit hyperbole, but the meaning is there) . And I wonder am I friendly or the people i met there are friendly as the whole night I was chatting with unknown strangers. Anything will be a topic, one after another.

* Good Morning

I can't imagine how I got through that few hours of backside suffering but anyway, there are four more hours to go to the Craze-Buy event (backside damage percentage reaching 85%, that's why I looked like I'm dying).

* When you see the crowd, you are disppointed. AND when you see this, you feel like going home. And that's true, people starts to stand up after they see this. But it doesn't make and significant changes.

* The leaflets and the masterpiece of "T" that everyone should draw with crayons.

* Looks so attracting... I would like to clarify one thing here, there is no yellow colour version. That's supposed to be green but somehow don know why yellow appeared on the screen.

* Finally, the main event starts!

* These are the lucky dudes that get the camera at a cheaper price.

* Jocelyn - no. 181
Kha Liang - no.182
Hui Mynn - no. 183
Bing - no. 184
And ME - no. 185
(Pls refer to the ad-board above to see how much I got the camera)

* Looks like there are a lot of stuff inside isn't it?

* But the truth is always disappointing, there is only this thing inside the bag

* Here. Sorry I'm late

1st Stop - Pan Mee Stall

So after gathering in front of the main gate, we head off to PJ for our 1st stop to eat our so-called breakfast, Pan Mee. That stall that sell Pan Mee is just a normal hawker stall in a restaurant. Delicious? It is of course extremely delicious to me as I like Pan Mee very much and moreover I m hungry enough to telan 4 tigers at that moment. There are only two choices of Pan Mee to choose, it's either with soup or dry Pan Mee. So let see some of the pictures at our 1st destination.

* Upon arrival

* Random pic =.=

* I really never been through a restaurant with so many ppl that i known. 3 tables! O lamak!

* Our table with 2 Representatives.

* Another 2 Representatives in this table.

* The biggest table

* "Where is my food?"

* "Yeah! FOOD!"

* "Yum.. Yum"

* "I'm still hungry"

* Jin Hang & Jason

* Still waiting for food

* waiting and wating... zzz

* Tada... here comes the Air tebu

* The soup Pan Mee

* The dry Pan Mee


* Ok, Makan!

* =.=... So fast finish already and still come out with this kind of post.

* Pity Jin Hang, everyone is eating except you.

2nd Stop - Hakka Mee Restaurant

After that Pan Mee, to be honest I'm already kinda full, most unfortunate the next destination is also makan mee punya =.=... Luckily that restaurant is in Cheras, so it allow some time for me to digest the previous Pan Mee. Ok, the next stop is the Hakka Mee. The noodles look plain and you can barely see the soup, but it's very tasty to go with their chili sauce and other sauce. There are still a lot of variety of noodles compared to the previous Pan Mee stall, but our table only order the original one.

* Hakka mee.

* (From left) Chong Hong, William, Khai Siang and Sean

3rd Stop - Mini Egg Tart Stall

After Hakka mee, we head straight deeper into the area of cheras till we reach a small stall that sells this ---->

* Yes, egg tart =)

* Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mini Egg Tart stall.

Introduced by Jin Hang, this stall is well known for its egg tart and the pineapple tart. But the thing is that we have to order and it takes about say like around 30 minutes only we can have a taste of this popular tarts. Though they are famous for their mini egg tart, I personally prefer the pineapple tart, it's just the best choice for an economical dessert right after the meal.

* Fuiyoh. The crowd can prove how delicious are those egg tart inside

* "hmph... I can smell egg tart"

* "I want egg tart"

* "I also want egg tart"

* "we want egg tart"

* This is the consequence of being too bored waiting for the egg tart.

* Eh, same goes to this as well although i don really know what does this expression suppose to mean.

* Behold, here comes the egg tarts.

* Hot & Delicious. Right from the oven.

* Wee Fon

* Karmun & his gf.

* Hui Mynn

* The upper portion of the box are the pineapple tarts.

* William

* Chong Woi & Sok

4th Stop - Kuih Mangkuk (Wun Chai Ko) & Tong Sui

Another dessert stall, this shop is located somewhere near Jalan Pasar, which means that Times Square is within walking distance from this shop. A typical shop selling the typical Tong Sui that can be found in other shop as well, but the thing they are famous for is the Wun Chai Ko. No doubt, it's indeed very nice with all the toppings on top of it.

* Wun Chai Ko

* Tong Sui with egg

* I do not know what does it call

* My order, Red Bean Tong Sui aka Hong Tao Sui

* They called it Fa Shang Wu in cantonese.

* Another item that i do not know what does it called.

* Same goes to this as well but I m sure one of the ingredient is egg =.=

* I thin this is Loh Mai Fan
* Tasty!

* Ok, time to go to take some rest before the dinner.

* William, faster lo!

Time Out - Khai Siang's House
It's such a good news to hear that Khai Siang is offering his house for us to take a rest before heading for our dinner as I m kinda tired and sleepy. Finally I can rest after a long long journey to his house.

* Rainy Day

* And here we are at Khai Siang's house.

* Everyone look so exhausted.

* And here we go our group photo. Missing somebody.

* ooo... William is the one.

5th Stop - Seafood Restaurant

After an hour of rest at Khai Siang's house, we head off to the seafood restaurant at Kepong. The main dish of the night is the crab which is the famous food that the restaurant claim to have, but unfortunately I found it normal, not something outstanding that you can imagine. Overall, the dishes served are good and everyone seems to enjoy the dinner very much although the quantity is quite small for the consumption of a total of up to 13 homo-sapiens per table. Below are the snapshots taken on that night.

* Sien =.= Still raining.

* Gayness

* waiting for food.
* the other table.

* don misunderstood, this is not our dinner.

* THIS is our dinner, presenting the 1st dish... SAYUR!

* If I m not mistaken this is the Po Keng Guat (in cantonese).

* Thai-style chicken (my favourite ^.^).

* Cheese crab. It doesn't taste so bad for someone that dislike cheese.

* Tak-Tau-Apa-Crab

* Ini saya tahu. Sweet & Sour Crab ... hehe

* Maybe the quantity too small so everyone like having war on the table.

* There is no other people other than us two tables.

* So... YAM......... SENG!

* Everyone is hungry

* Yummy!

* The aftermath.

* Khai Siang & the mango.

* Sok & The Chee Yang... haha...

* Cheers!

* Sammantha & Wei Yun (and mango).

* Yes, i m still eating

* Again =.=

* (From left) Kha Liang & his gf, Jocelyn, Sok and (standing) Wee Fon

* The poser Sok.

6th Stop - Final Destination - A Little Dim Sum Place
This place was initially put under the optional choice after considering that everyone might be too full after the dinner, but eventually we are still here as everyone wants to have a taste of the Sunshine Bun that Jin Hang promote so much. He said last time he came with Wei Yun and others, Wei Yun can sekaligus telan 9 buns. Unfortunately I can only eat half of it as I m really full after the dinner. But the taste of the buns are real unique and tasty.

* This shop is located at SS2.

* A-not-very-clear photo taken by me using Bing's camera. I no skill, not the camera.

* Another Keat Ming's masterpiece ... hehe...

* That's me with Bing's camera.

* Bing, don worry, ur camera still in good state.

* Ok, let's introduce the food here. This bowl of Peanut Tong Sui only cost 51 cents in conjunction with The 51th Merdeka.

* Fu Chuk Yi Mai

* This dude trying to mix all the three flavour together.

* Most of us were full already.

* The organizer Jin Hang & Wee Fon.

And here goes the entire day of Food Trip. Oops, almost forget... The picture below is the main dishes for the last destination....

* The Sunshine Bun

And ya, there goes the end of the entire trip. This is sure a trip that will not be forgotten. At least besides all the assignments and project, we did something that is totally out of our study. Friend Forever buddies.
