Good Bye Big Blue Building

If you ask what is Section 14 landmark, the most common answer you will get is it is, somewhere the big blue building is located. Well by the end of this year, there will not be any more big blue building to be a landmark. Sadly there are going to bring down the whole building to build some other building. The reason they are doing so is there are going to control the traffic so that it won't cause the jam over there.

I am a pure PJ boy, i grew up in this neighborhood and i always go to the Jaya building to hang around since i am a little boy. Once the building is going to be demolished, i am surely going to be missing this building and not forgetting all the convenience that the building provides. From simply hanging out at Starbucks for a cup of coffee(Once in a lifetime only), place to play snooker, last minute shopping for some cheap cloths, and as a student i am surely going to miss Popular in Jaya.

So before they bring down the building, i just take some pictures all to remember "The Great Big Blue Building" of Jaya.

Landmark that had been for years: This is taken right outside the building.

The entrance of the building.

A real great place to have expensive coffee and to use wi-fi.

The best place to buy the cheapest and nicest cloths in Section 14 area.

The prefect place to shop for stationary and buy magazine.

Psalms Oasis: This shop is great is you want to buy anything for your Christian Friends.

The picture of the Old Jaya and the current Jaya(I am too sure will they be any Jaya anymore after this.)

The spiral staircairs.

The only place where you can see the busy traffic of Section 14.

Most of the shop over here had already start shifting out to other buildings such as the opposite Jaya 33, 3 2 Square and the just opened Jaya One. So i guess here is where i end my post for now, hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

The Beauty Of Pongal

Last Friday my school have a Pongal celebration organized by the Hindu and Tamil society. Pongal is being celebrated by Indians as it represents the end of Harvest Festival. Here i joined the event and i have taken some photograph using my friend 's camera. On that day there is few interesting activities that happen and i manage to capture most of the events. Below are the pictures that i have taken.

The Indians celebrated Pongal by boiling rice with milk, topped with brown sugar with cashew nuts in a pot. So what they do is they make their own fire and let the rice to boil.

As we can see, there is many students who took part in this event.

Boiling the rice alone is easy but maintaining the fire in order to cook the fire maybe some tough work.

Once the rice is cooked, the moment the rice overflowed from the pot, they must shout "Pongal" as it is a custom of this festival which means a new year blessed with good tiding.

After that we bring the pot filled with rice and putting all the rice that is cooked and lay it down on the banana leaf.

Look at all the rice that that they all cooked on that day.

Another Indian Food that we have was Vadai.

Besides the rice cooking event we have another activities that is eating the sugar-cane constest. The rules are simple, who ever finish bitting of the sugar-cane with their teeth the fastest wins.

And our champion of the day goes to......

This picture will wrap up my post for this event, i Hope you guys enjoy the pics and thanks for reading.

Welcome To The Koh's Family


Here i welcome you all to Koh Family Restaurant. This is located at the newest food heaven that is available, which is Bandar Puteri, Puchong. What is the good part of this area? The food is good, plenty of parking spaces, and most of the restaurant is clean. It is so happen i entered this restaurant because i had been craving for Chinese food that time.

Take a look at the interior of the restaurant. As you all can see it quite simple as in there is no fancy table and chairs around. They decorated their shop with some Chinese material stuff such as Chinese Calligraphy Art, pictures and paintings. This place is not air conditioned but it is pretty cooling inside.

Next i ordered what i wanted and the menu i picked was all simple dishes. The ordering part can be a real test because the lady that entertained me was speaking Mandrin to me. Luckily i manage to use whatever knowledge i know in Mandrin and i successfully ordered my meal. Hopefully she really understand what i told her.

My mom and dad drinks; From the left: "Fruity Cincau" and "Tropical Sour Plum"
"Fruity Cincau" is like any ordinary Cincau drinks you can find but the put some Nata De Coco in it to give it a fruity taste. The sour plum drinks is just taste fine to me and there is nothing special about it.

What happen when Apple meets with sour plum? We get my drink our here. If you can figure what drink i am drinking it is pretty obvious. "Apple Sour Plum". The sweetness of apple juice and the taste of sour plum. What can i say? It is simply just refreshing.

As for the food we just ordered 3 simple dishes, consisting of fish dishes, a "taofu" dish and a vegetable.


Our first dish, the "Fried Brinjal with Salted Fish". This dish is really good and it is not easy to be cook at home also. Once my mom tried to experiment on her dishes and she deep fried the brinjal. Her brinjal does not turn out that well as it absorb all the oil and become really soggy. In this dish, the brinjal is not soggy and it is pretty dry. Wonder how they do it?


This is "Thai Style Fried Bean Curd". This this is the killer. The Thai sauce is opens up your appetite and makes you eat more. The Bean Curd is fried like the "Taofu Bakar" we can find at any hawker store, crispy and crunchy.


Lastly our last dish, " Kerabu Promphet Fish". I normally dislike eating fish but this time i got to make a exception. This fish is delicious. The fish is really crispy and it goes well with the "Kerabu" . It may be a little spicy because it have some cili-padi in it but it is okay if you be careful and not to eat the cili-padi.

Overall all the dishes and the drinks sum up to a total less then RM 70, which makes it affordable. Here are the details of the restaurant.

Project Bugs Complete


Yes it is finally done, yup one of our STPM assignment for Biology is officially finish and is being pass up to our teacher. All the hard work of collecting 25 various species of bugs had paid off and looking at our work gives us a great feeling of accomplishing it. Whether it is the bugs being really being caught or even buying it, it does not matter to me because as long it is done it is done.

We started our project by taking the easiest way out possible of finishing it which is by simply just buying our way through. Sounds easy? Well i am not quite sure about it especially you need to travel all the way to Gombak just to buy bugs, not forgetting that you must find own your way in somewhere out of your comfort zone. Before i even do this, i would not have a single clue that we can actually buy bugs and Biology students must do this assignment. No wonder bugs in Malaysia is getting fewer year by year.


Thats part of us negotiating and choosing what bugs can we get for a very low price.


Aren't they beautiful? You can always buy them, it only cost per butterfly is RM 3.00 for a common species and for a more rare species it is more then RM 5.00.

If we just buy all 25 species of bugs, it will be little too obvious that we just buy all of them. Therefore we need to catch them ourself. The location is chosen and it will be Kiara Park in TTDI. Beware Bugs in Kiara Park, we are coming! If anyone ever tell you that catching a living bug is easy, they are lying. They are actually quite hard to catch, well that is from my experience of catching. I personally just prefer to buy them.


Net set, "Killing Jar" set, We are all set to Catch Em All.

Look we manage to catch our first "victim" in our killing-jar.

Look they are the criminals that caught the bugs in Kiara Park, catch them not me(Cause i am not in the picture)

Bugs ready, all we need now is just to pin them up nicely and put them in a showcase that will look presentable. What we did was just a very simple showcase mainly consist of just manilla card board. What to do, we are not as rich as people that can afford them self a wooden showcase. A wooden showcase won't be cheap, so manilla card will just get the job done.I admit it may not look as elegant as others group but at least it looks decent enough.

A quick glimpse of all our 25 different species before we put them in our showcase.

Here is something funny, since when i ever went to Kuala Selangor?

I am proud to say that this our final product after putting enough effort.





To all the group members of mine: Hui Min, Malini, Kai Lee, and Winney, it had been a real great time working with you guys.

Don't You Dare To Fake It.


The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is a rock band that started off as a local band in Middleburg, Florida. The Band is consist of 5 group members with Ronnie Winter as the lead vocalist. The way they got their name is pretty interesting because according to a source from the internet they got their name from random words on the wall and being chosen by a member that is blindfolded. Pretty interesting enough.

Most of their song are mainly rock, but not same as the punk rock like Green Day of maybe Good Charlotte. Their songs just seems to be different from them. Their hit single "Face Down" seems to be a big hit once they appear in a music chart. One thing that i like about them is that sometimes when you hear rock music some of them can be too loud and hard and the lead singer is screechy but Ronnie does not screech that much, what i mean that he knew how to control it. Back to their first hit song, the song is mainly telling you about a story. The drums beat is massive combine with great guitar being played it totally is bomb.

After listening to "Face Down" you might just think that they can only play good rock song. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus offers more then that as they show their versatility in their album. The song "Your Guardian Angel" is really a nice song. It is played with a acoustic guitar at the start and in the end got a bit of rock in it. This song also had a beautiful voice that just suits the song. Among all the track list i got to vote this as the best track list.

So if you feel like having some music that will blow your day try getting their album Don"t You Fake It". Trust me it is worth it.

Track List
  1. "In Fate's Hands" - 3:27
  2. "Waiting" - 2:56

  8. "Atrophy" - 3:16
  9. "Seventeen Ain't So Sweet" - 3:20
  10. "Justify" - 3:26
  11. "Your Guardian Angel" (aka "The Acoustic Song") - 3:51 + 1:30 silence

What is Nagomi.com?



What is Nagomi.com?. I am not quite sure my self what is it until i realise it is a restaurant. Ever heard of Shabu- Shabu?. Nope? According to the second page of the menu of Nagomi.com, Shabu-Shabu is a traditional dish served using thinly sliced meat that would cook in boiling water. In another words it is Steamboat Japanese style. What does it got to do with Nagomi.com, well it actually serve Shabu-Shabu.

The interior of the restaurant is good as it has a classy look as it is a place where all the rich and the famous would dine. Said fair enough about the decor, the service they provide you is marvelous as they really do come asking whether you need any assistance and gives you a real warm feeling in the restaurant.

For my drink, it is not much a great thing as it is just ice lemon tea. During that day the weather is hot and i just feel like drinking something cold to quench my thirst. My brother ordered the fresh star fruit juice and it tasted so blend. They really got it precise when they use the term "fresh juice".



Coming to the food, for appetizer's i had Sashimi. For the record this is the first time i ever tried Sashimi and being worried because it is plain raw and maybe my stomach can't take it. Thankfully i felt nothing when i eat it and it taste well with Japanese soy sauce.



Moving on to the main course i ordered a set lunch with the meat i chosen which is chicken. It also comes with vegetable which are quite common and can be found almost anywhere. As mention earlier the chicken meat in the plate is sliced thinly, and in the middle there is minced chicken meat with an egg yolk in the middle.


The food are ready, now it is time to cook it. The food is all cooked in this very container filled with chicken stock soup for the meat to boil. When the food is cooked it is ready to eat. Once most of the ingredient is being cooked in the soup, this is the best time for it to be drink as it tasted "sweet" as it absorb all the taste in it.


A set of lunch would not be complete without a desert and this they serve us all time favorite ice -cream. There is two flavours available and that is green tea and black sesame. Personally i would say the black sesame tasted better and it is not as common as the green tea flavour.

Lastly the cost of my set lunch meal is RM 60.00, the ice lemon tea costs RM 7.00 and my stupid drink of my brother costs RM 8.00. Total up all together will cost RM 86.25 after adding government tax and service tax. Overall for a student it is very expensive to eat and i think there is much better place to go to then here. So if you feel like trying the Shabu-Shabu, come to the Jaya 33 loacated in Petaling Jaya Section 14 to check it out yourself.
