Community Service Center for the Deaf Visitation

About a week after the end of finals we put what we learned during the sign language course to good use. We visited the Community Service Center for the Deaf. It is basically a school for deaf-mute children. We played some station games with them and got them Domino's for lunch =P

We got a mini tour of the place when we arrived, and some kids "sang" for us.

They signed "Are You Sleeping?" and "Negaraku".
Through their hand movements, we heard music =)

I was in charged of teaching the kids how to make origami dinosaur. It was really hard to do with the communication barrier. In the end I gave up teaching the harder original version dinosaur and substituted it with an easier version. I now fully understand how people with disability feel when they can't get their message across. I am very thankful that I have been born with all five senses working normally.

This is the harder version of the dinosaur that one of the kids managed to make.

All the kids loved the pizzas with pineapple toppings.
We are not so different after all ^_^

We went to Dave's Bistro Bar & Grill at 1 Utama for lunch after the visit.
Their pasta was dee-lish!
But everyone was starving so I doubt anyone took pictures of the food *LOL*

KUDOS!

Che Go Sucks

Went to Sunway Pyramid for lunch with a couple of friends today. Since Jaime and I were the early arrivers, we decided on Korean. Sadly, there were only Che Go and Ko Hyang to choose from, it wasn't much of a choice. Since we were already at the Orange Atrium and lazy to walk all the way to the other side, we went ahead with Che Go.

I have to say, the food wasn't great. The marination for the BBQ beef was too sweet. The kimchi didn't taste nice, which is one of the reason that caused their kimchi ji-gae (kimchi soup) to not taste like kimchi ji-gae. There were A LOT of Shiitake mushrooms in it and not enough/lacking a lot of other stuff. They also used the tofu with skin, instead of those soft and smooth ones like you'd usually find in typical Korean restaurant. The other side dishes were all not up to par. I was quite disappointed and unsatisfied overall. We shall all go Dao Rae the next time! *hint hint wink wink*

There are no nice pictures of the food because I didn't take any, and not like it was worth taking in the first place anyway >_< However, there is a picture of something Jaime and I "cooked".

Doesn't it look like some expensive fine dining cuisine? XD

I know I should be glad that I've actually tried this restaurant before so that I know it sucks and will never ever visit again, but I just like to be a terrorist. According to my Consumer Behavior textbook, a terrorist is a dissatisfied customer who spread negative opinions =P At least, you won't have to go through the same bad experience after reading this right? =)

Mooooovies

大日子 Woohoo!
This was supposed to be a comedy but it made me cry
I've forgotten why
It wasn't as funny as expected
It just wasn't great

葉問 2 - Ip Man 2
The fighting scenes were good
A happy ending
Some say patriotic, I say slightly racist
All in all, it was pretty good

Shutter Island
I thought it was a horror movie...it wasn't...
They say it messes with your head...it did...a bit...
To live as a monster, or to die as a good man?
Either way, an AWESOME movie

Romeo + Juliet
Sense of hearing, sense of sight
The contrast was too much
I do not like it so
And think it too weird

孔子 - Confucius
It took a lot to understand the dialog
Though I can't say I understand the whole lot
Maybe I should re-watch with English subtitles
It is rather worth the watch

Kids Say the Darndest Thing

A conversation I had with my 11 year old niece while we were at the night market on Saturday.


Niece: *yeee* It's so smelly and gross.

Me: If you think this is smelly and gross, what are you going to do when you have to buy fish and chicken when you grow up?

Niece: ......

Me: So you're not going to eat meat? You're just going to eat only vegetables?

Niece: ......

Me: What are you going to do?

Niece: I'll ask my husband to buy it.

I was stunned. That was suppose to be my own answer *LOL*
Nevertheless the conversation continues.

Me: How are you going to cook if you don't want to touch all those stuff.

Niece: ......

Me: Are you going to ask your husband to cook for you as well?

Niece: I'll ask kakak to cook.

Me: *hahaha* What if you don't have a kakak?

Niece: No! I will have a kakak! I must have a kakak!


Oh my! Kids these days *LOL*

Exam Cycle

You've all heard of the water cycle, carbon cycle, life cycle, economic cycle, menstrual cycle etc.

But have you ever heard of the exam cycle?

I'm assuming it's a NO.

So let me explain...

As you can see, the exam cycle is a vicious cycle that never ends.
The only way to stop it is to abolish exams.
It'll be for the benefit of students all over the world except for those high-achieving freaks.


=P This post is to celebrate the end of exam for me *hehe* =D
