1. Vice President Elect

leo

The year 2008 was quite a good year for me as there were a lot of good things happening in my life.  Earlier this year I was elected as the 1st Vice President of Leo Club of Curtin University.I was entrusted to undertake & organize most of the major events of Leo Club. It was an honour to serve the club as a Vice President. I learnt & improved alot from the activities and opportunities given to me organize the events.  Thanks for the guidances and supports from the Lions, Leos & friends.

2. The 2 books that I bought this year.

lilian too

I had always read about the survey of Malaysian reading habit. I’m not sure if it is coincidental or that the survey is very much accurate because it was mentioned in the survey that the Malaysian read an average of only 2 books per year- that is the books read out of the classroom. I bought 2 books which one of it is the Fortune & Fengshui by Lilian Too & her daughter Jennifer Too. I’m not going to do any free promotion of this book here :) but I do recommend this book to you as a guide for your next year’s feng shui.

How To Use The Internet to Earn Money! Bought my first internet entrepreneur guide for an whooping Rm43.90 . It was way over price& this book was not as resourceful as I’ve imagine. I was like a scam internet article that will prompt you to buy another book & another & another & another book from each book so that you can continue to read more craps…

3. Prom night

Having missed the chance to attend the prom night last year. I went to my first prom dinner of Curtin University this year. It was a spectacular night. There are more photos available here.

4. Vacation in KL

flying to kl

It was a last minute call from my mum to me to fly to KL so that I can accompany her and guide her for an airport detour - from LCCT to KLIA. Sounds weird ain’t it? My mum was actually sceptical to take the detour alone because she reckoned that it was a tough thing to do as she never flown alone to KL.

So I flew to KL with my gf while my bro flew from Sibu. We met at LCCT.

My sis was having a semester break so she took a bus from Kedah to KL to meet us.

kl with rachel

 Rachel was our part time tour guide :P . She brought us to have the best “Vinegar Pork Leg” & “Yong To Fu” in  Cheras with her grandparents.

Had the ride of my life in Sunway Lagoon that nearly took my heart away.

I meant it seriously. I grabbed the safety handle so hard that I almost cramped my arms. Imagine that.

5. Life as a blogger

I only became a more frequent blogger since this year..

I was blogging & I’m still blogging on a free site http://kelvinsse.blogspot.com

I got a domain for my blog. www.kelvinsse.com

Brought a Sony Digi Cam which I used to take most of the photos.

Cadbury Gold with Apricot, Walnut & Wafer

December 29, 2008 · Posted in Brands · Comment

It is a bad habit of mine that I always visualize myself  eating something while watching a movie, drama or etc. As long as I’m in front of a TV or in my case now, which I’m in my rented house with only my computer  available for watching movies, I’ll always desire for some snacks to fill my mouth. Without snacks, watching movie is like an imperfection. So yesterday during my day out for shopping, my gf spotted a special edition of Cadbury Choco, we thought should give it a try.

cadbury gold

They were two flavoures for us to choose; apple flavour & apricot flavour. We ought for the Apricot Flavoured Cadbury Gold.very nice cadbury

Cadbury Gold is thinner than the usual choco bar of the same brand.

cadbury bites

It was totally crunchy & compacted with lots of walnut. But the only bad was that they weren’t much apricot in the bar. Overall, I like the crunchiness of the wafer.

The diners were presented with a band of performers heralding Christmas songs. To be honest, most of the diners were too busy to eat their food rather than enjoying their performance. :) Anyway the perfomances were entertaining.
