Baucar Buku 1Malaysia !!

2012-01-31T18:13:00.002+08:00

I'm sure everyone knows about the 'free' vouchers that we students are getting from the schools. I just got mine yesterday (RM200 for college students!) and spent RM100 already. Kekeke.

Added these three books into my collection with the RM100 voucher!

I've got 5 of this set so far, so that left me another 2 to go to complete the set! :D

Oh and I saw a lot of interesting books that I wanted to get as well, but RM200 is just not sufficient for me D:

Sighs. I shall go around asking my 'lazy-classmates-who-don't-seem-to-buy-books-or-even-step-in-to-a-bookstore' for their vouchers!

The bunch of us spent quite a long time in the Popular bookstore thinking what to buy and calculating the amount to make sure we get somewhat the exact amount so that we do not waste the voucher or add on too much. LOL.

First time getting such a long receipt from a bookstore! You must think I'm crazy but before that, the receipt consists of items that belong to me and my 2 other friends. So yes lah, I alone can't reach that length of receipt ok! Or, if I have the money, I would be able to reach that length of even longer? Yes, I'm such a bookworm :P

PS: I know this is such an useless update but I'm too lazy right now for a proper update on the events of my life and I feel that I haven't update my blog for a very very long time, hence this useless post :P

Lost Puppy Up For Adoption !

2012-01-20T13:42:00.001+08:00

Anyone lost a puppy around Taman Taynon, Cheras area or wants to adopt a puppy ? This cute little girl needs a good home asap! Brought her for grooming so she's all clean and tick-less now. She's currently in my house and I'm desperately looking for a good owner for her! She's a darling and very energetic. I would keep her if only my mom allows :((

Oh, it has a red collar with bell attached to it. Please claim it if it's your puppy! She misses home!

Rich Pot Buffet Steamboat & Teppanyaki @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

2012-01-09T23:59:00.109+08:00

This. Is. The. Worst. And. Suckiest. Restaurant. I've. Been. To. Period.

No joke. I saw their offer in Groupon (yes, again) 5 months ago, and since it's only RM15.50 for steamboat buffet, it's super worth it right? So I asked my college mates and they agreed to it as well, hence I ended up buying fifteen coupons. But due to our busy schedules (it's not easy with 15 people ok! sure got some people not free on days when others are free), we only managed to get everyone together today, which is the second-last day till the expiry date.

So yesterday which was the 8th, Adrian called up the place to make reservation. The Terms & Conditions stated Minimum 1 day prior booking required, so there isn't anything wrong with it right. But no, the stupid man talked to Adrian in a very rude manner and the conversation went somewhat like this:-

Rude man: You people very like to last minute only come one right!
Adrian: Er... but your last day is 10th, and we're going on the 9th.
Rude man: It's fully booked now. You come only lah. Got place then got place. No place then wait.

Like toooooooooot. Damn wtf lah. So I know the Terms & Conditions also stated that Booking subject to availability. We wouldn't mind so much if the booking is closed, but hey, you're doing business here and so you ought to know how to treat your customers ok! We're the one paying you for your good service, not to get fucked by that fucked up attitude of yours. You can at least inform us in a proper manner saying that it is fully reserved. And not just straight shoot us with that blardie first sentence of yours.

We arrived there at around 7.15pm and we were told to wait. There was quite a long queue of customers waiting for seats as well, and I can see that most or all the customers actually bought the voucher online too. 1 hour later, we finally got our tables. As I was sitting there, I could see a lot of unhappy customers. It was my first time seeing the customers going out one-by-one to take photos of the shop. No doubt it is to write bad reviews, like me :P

Look at the customers gathering there, all waiting for tables.

Also, apparently Adrian wasn't the only one who received the bad attitude from the man. A small group of customers was standing behind me waiting for table and they were complaining all the way about the fucked-up attitude of the man. LOL. Imagine how bad this is?

The website says:

Over 100 varieties to choose from.

Bullshit! There was only about 50 varieties if not mistaken.

Concluding dinner, desserts include ice-cream, longan tau foo fah and herbal jelly delights, ensure employment for underused teeth and toothpicks.

Another bullshit. Why I see no longan tau foo fah and no herbal jelly? What more, the only flavour of ice-cream left was yam. And that also super limited in which our table of 15 pax only managed to get three bowls of it. Why no refill? So unprofessional! Then the rest of the customers don't get desserts anymore, do they? Pft.

Even the drinks are damn diluted. Ice lemon tea like plain water with colouring only. Unprofessional service. Fucked-up service. Food sucks. Basically everything sucks in that restaurant.

This, is the restaurant I've been ranting about. Look and remember and never ever step foot in it.

I normally don't give ratings because I don't know how to, but at least I know how to rate this.

I give this restaurant 1/10. Why 1 and not zero? Well, let's not be so mean and save their reputation a little. At least the teppanyaki is not that bad and some of us actually liked it.

Honestly? The ice-cream is the best of all.

And my advice? If you don't know how to manage, please don't put up offers like this. You ought to foresee the worst case scenario. If you don't know how to respect your customers, please don't bloody run restaurants because you should know that in food industry, not only the food quality is important but service is equally important as well. If you don't know these simple things, you might as well just close shop. Which I expect it to happen sooner or later, judging by the number of angry customers today.

I think some of them just stormed out without dining after they took photographs of this lousy place.

I can summarize my opinion on this place with just two words. Fucked up.

A closer and clearer look of the logo.

Nichii & Kitschen Warehouse Sale !!

2012-01-06T14:44:00.001+08:00

Not sure if any of you have heard or seen this poster circulating in FB or not, but the moment I saw it, obviously I wouldn't miss the chance to go! Wait, what poster am I talking about?

It's....

NICHII & KITSCHEN WAREHOUSE SALE !!

It just started yesterday, so no worries. I'm quite sure there are still many stocks for you! However, being the kiasu me, I went today, which is just the second day. Wanted to go yesterday but unfortunately Siew Wei had to rush back to college after our saloon. I was supposed to go for lunch today but somehow, I'm quite thankful that something came up for Yit Han, hence we postponed (again) the lunch to next week. Upon hearing this, I immediately texted Siew Wei at 2am to inform her the good news! And also told her to wake me up early early in the morning if she's still keen to go sapu stock. Kekeke.

So yes, this morning she started calling me at 9something, but I only woke up during her 5th call. Woah. Not bad, eh? I jumped out of bed to check what time it is. 10.xx am. SHIT! The sales has started! Trust a woman to get ready in a jiffy when there's sales going on because I myself have just experienced it just now. I jumped out of the bed and was all ready to go out in just 10 minutes. LOL. That's a record, I think.

Why the rush, if you ask. Well, because of these two incidents:-

1. Went to Padini Warehouse Sale in Shah Alam with them college mates after class, and by the time we reached there it was around 4pm. Trust me, the crowd was mad crazy. Seriously, it was what we Chinese people call it 'people mountain people sea'. 人山人海。Yes, I think I got that correct. Imma banana, excuse me :P Anyway! Yes, the crowd! We had to stay outside under the sun (though it started drizzling, and then pouring after that) for what seemed like forever, because they only allowed few people to go in at a time. And those idiotic people just wouldn't stop pushing and squishing and squeezing themselves in. Pft. Super the uneducated! And the poor me just stood there innocently being pushed around. So then finally I managed to get in when it was drizzling, but some of my friends didn't manage to get in and then it started raining heavily. So yes, a lot of people was drenched. Poor them.

Since then, I've always had the impression that you must go very early if you do not want to fight with the crowd. The earlier the better, because you can shop at ease too! Don't have to push here and there. And yes, we were considered quite early because there wasn't a queue at all and we just 'float' in like that :DD

2. I went to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sales on the last day. Stupid me, because I thought they would have kept some of the stocks so I do not need to rush there during the first few days just to get the books I wanted. And boy, was I so wrong. There isn't a single book that I wanted! My friend told me that there was a section for Sophie Kinsella's books only, but when I went, not even one of her books was there. Pft. Super the disappointed but still, since we went all the way there, might as well not waste the effort right! So yes, I managed to grab a lot of books as well, mainly because they are mad cheap. And well, I ought to read them sooner or later, no? :3

So there, these two incidents taught me that whenever there is a warehouse sales like this, I must be one of the early birds - arrive at their doorstep never later than 3pm, and it must be during the first few days. Because really, by the end of it, all the pretty items are gone T___T

BUT! I was still quite disappointed because the clothes that are on sales aren't that nice. I was somewhat expecting the goods that I normally see in their outlets, but nuh uh. Hardly any of these pieces look familiar to me ._. God knows how long ago these clothes have been kept. Nonetheless, I still managed to grab 4 pieces of clothing at only RM50!!!! Such a bargain, don't you think!?

And here are my 4 pieces of clothing ! :D

Super love the blue tank top and jeans! If you know me well enough, I hardly ever wear jeans. Mainly because I can't find a suitable one due to my huge ass. It's not my leg, thigh or waist that are the problems. But it's my big butt. Sigh. But guess what! This was the first time I bought jeans without even trying on, and thank goodness it fits me! Except that the waist is a little loose, like my one and only white jeans, but well, that problem can be solved with belt ^^ So far, I only have ONE pair of jeans and it's white in colour, but now, I shall make that two pairs :DD

All of the above only costs RM15 each except for the black tee which was only RM5. And then just now when I took the price tags out, and itchy me wanted to check the original prices, omg, I nearly cried tears of happiness when I saw the original prices! RM59.90, RM69.90, RM29.90. The blue tank top didn't have a price tag attached to it so I don't know its original price. But anyway, imagine the three pieces actually cost up to RM159.70, but I got them all at only RM35 total! Super cheap can T__T

Sigh. If only they have more varieties u___________u

Niko Hair & Beauty @ Ampang Hilir

2012-01-05T18:31:00.001+08:00

Last month (or was it last two?), Siew Wei saw a good deal on Everyday. Professional Haircut + Wash + Blow + Spa Hair Deep Root Treatment + Manicure & Pedicure for only RM38!! Mad cheap or what?! So without thinking twice, I told her that I'm up for it. I've seen a lot of cheap deals from saloons as well, but each time when I was tempted to buy, I would look at the location and normally they're all very far away. This time, when Siew Wei told me it's in Ampang, of course I wouldn't hesitate at all! :DD

We were supposed to go few weeks back but we didn't have the time and it was fully booked on one of the Saturdays. Hence we only went today, right after Siew Wei's class but then she had to rush back for class again at 5pm. Poor girl, while I'm so relaxed here. Kekeke :P

At first I was quite worried because I read from a blog (was looking for the saloon's contact number to make appointment and came across this lady's blog) giving bad comments on this saloon. The lady mentioned in her blog that the service is very bad and the quality is not up to par when it was written there professional haircut, but she did not get any professional service at all. I forgot what the whole story was, but I remember that she wrote there she had asked for a full refund and she got it. So yes, upon reading that, I was worried that we might experience the same thing as her. But as we have bought the voucher, there is nothing else we can do but to go for it, no? Or burn our RM38, which is a total waste. However, as I read till the end, I was somewhat relieved because the lady went to another branch; not the branch that Siew Wei and I are going to.

So this morning, the best friend came to pick me up after her class and off we went to the saloon.

The first lady seemed delighted to see us and welcomed us warmly. At first I was also worried that they will not welcome us because we got cheap deals from the Internet and from what I read in the earlier blog, she stated that the workers did not seem to welcome her the moment they saw her holding the online voucher. Thank goodness, the two ladies who attended to us are very friendly.

Was trying to steal a picture of her when she suddenly looked at me, hence the expression. Cute, no? :P

While Siew Wei was having her hair cut, I had my manicure and pedicure first. They only have two ladies working, so thank goodness in some way that the saloon had no one else except for both of us. That way we are able to gain full attention from the people attending to us.

I've always wanted to buy OPI nail polishes but they are so very expensive T__T That explains why I only buy from Elianto. Sigh.

Honestly speaking, it was my first time doing manicure and pedicure. Although I wouldn't exactly call this a mani & pedi because apparently, the deal from the voucher is just filing, shaping, treatments, massaging, and doing whatever they were supposed to do, except for painting the nails ._. So I added another RM15 to paint my toe nails. Anyhow, it was actually quite the nice and comfortable to have your nails beautified. And I can also see how much dirt/cuticles were removed from my toe nails T____T

Since I was in the saloon already, I was thinking if I should dye my hair or not. In the end, I decided to dye because my roots are showing so clearly and it's so ugly to have my hair half black and half whatever colour that I dyed last time. Besides, Chinese New Year is coming! So yes, why not pamper myself a little bit more right? :P

As usual, I was so fickle-minded and didn't know which colour to choose and needed someone else to decide for me ._.

So excited to see how my hair colour turns out! But nonetheless, I'd be happy also no matter what colour it is, as long as it's not half black and half whatever colour it is anymore T___T

And this! It was my first time seeing this new thing. They no longer have the big round machine that goes round and round your head which takes forever. This is the new machine (or not, I don't know!) and it doesn't take as long! Looks very funny though .__.

After spending nearly 3 hours at the saloon, finally we're done! Poor Siew Wei though, because she had to wait for me while the princess gets her hair nicely done :P

And the outcome is........

Taadaaaa! I decided to do another crazy thing to my hair. Whatchiu think!? Nice no?! Been wanting to get a bob hair like this already......

Except that isn't me. That's Siew Wei xD

This time, I did not went over the edge and did something crazy. I just got my hair trimmed a little here and there. Haha! But really, as I saw her new hair, I was very, very tempted to cut like that too! As I mentioned earlier, I've been wanting that kind of hairstyle for a long time. But knowing my hair nature - thick and wavy - it won't look good with my hair. And it will be very puffy and thick and maybe ugly if I cut that hairstyle u.u

So, I just did this!

And after having a new haircut and hair colour, of course the right thing any girls would do is to....

CAMWHORE !!

Excuse me for my vanity but it's been such a long time since I camwhored and post narcissist pictures of myself :P

And also because my hair will only be this nice for today, and it will be a ~~shit~~ mess again as usual after I washed it myself tomorrow T___T

So here goes!

Belle wouldn't layan me, so I 'forced' Bunny to camwhore with me instead. Kekeke.

Have I ever mentioned before that I super love, love, love going to the saloon? Not necessarily to cut hair, but just to have a wash + dry + treatment. Or maybe can leave treatment out. I love the smell of my hair after getting washed by them and not to forget, my hair gets so smooth and silky as well. And also I always wonder how do they blow-dry my hair into such nice wave T___T

I told the bf before to watch and learn how they do it, but still, it isn't as easy as it seems .___.

Super love how they always make my hair curl inside! My hair usually curls into one side only, which looks super weird because when one side is perfectly curled inside, the other side will be perfectly curled outside. If you understand what I mean. Heh.

Sigh. If I could I would not wash my hair for as long as I can, but then I can't even stand not washing my hair a day because it gets itchy and/or oily >_____>

I once said to a friend of mine that if I ever get rich in the future or married to a filthy rich husband, Imma visit the saloon weekly just to wash my hair. And maybe do treatment once in a while. Oh wells. That's only if I ever get that rich u.u

All in all, I am very satisfied with my hair right now! Wouldn't say so tomorrow after I wash my hair by myself though. And also the two friendly ladies have made the trip more enjoyable. I like how they tried to converse with me because then it wouldn't be so boring, because as we all know it, going to the saloon can be very boring at times because we can't do anything but just sit and stare stupidly at our own reflection (and the more I stare at my own reflection, the more depressed I get because I can see how round my face is now). Which explains why I tend to fall asleep most of the time. Hohoho.

Oh and another thing I like about this saloon is that the lady doesn't pester me into using better shampoo, conditioner, treatment and whatnot. I am sure most of you have experienced it before. While your hairstylist washes your hair, he/she will ask you if you want to use better products which costs bla bla bla, and then when the total comes out, you'd be shock. I always face these kinda problems and being me, I don't really know how to say 'no', which always results in me saying 'yes' and paying a lot more T___T And then being regretful afterwards u___u

PS: I found another angry lady's blog, telling her readers not to do spa perm at Niko. I'm not sure which branch she's talking about but that was in 2009. Nevertheless, seeing so many bad comments about this saloon, I wouldn't quite dare to recommend this saloon to anyone. Because as far as I did enjoy myself there, I wouldn't want people bashing me up in the future saying this saloon sucks. In my humble opinion, it isn't as bad, so yes. Maybe I'm lucky to have these two ladies attending to me, who knows? I would just say that I did not regret buying this voucher and going to this saloon, because it's not very often that one finds a suitable hairstylist for oneself, and I think I just found one! And I might even consider going back there in the future (;

Spontaneity Fun !

2012-01-04T18:10:00.001+08:00

On Monday, the bf and I went up to Genting Highlands with a friend of his and his friend's grandmother because they wanted to go to the casino, whereas the bf and I just wanted to escape from the KL's crazy hot weather. 2 months more and I can go to the casino too!

Anyway, since the bf took leave for Tuesday, we planned to pay a visit to the Zoo Negara. We've been wanting to visit that place since long, long time ago, but never had the chance or mood. Why? Because everyone keeps telling us that our national zoo is smelly, dirty and nothing much to see.

It was funny how all these came about. First, I invited Chun Yee because I know he doesn't mind going anywhere and he's just so sporting like that. Second, I was somewhat chatting with Aaron on FB and then I decided 'Hey, why not ask him along?' . So I did, but he told me his first day of work is tomorrow (Tuesday). Seeing no one else can make it, I decided to drop the plan and just stay home with the bf. Who knew, on the next day which was Tuesday, Aaron called the bf at 11am and told him that he will only start his work next month, so he asked if the Zoo plan is still on. So yes, we woke up and I contacted Chun Yee. At 1.30pm, everyone was gathered at my house discussing where to go - Zoo Negara or Melaka Zoo or A'Famosa or just go Melaka for a tour. In the end, we decided on Zoo Negara because it was too last minute to drive all the way to Melaka ._.

Went for brunch at one of my favourite 'pan mee' shops and by the time we reached the zoo, it was already 3pm. And the zoo closes at 5pm -___-;; Nonetheless, we still carried on.

Chun Yee, the superbly crazy driver! But useful when we are in a rush :P

Aaron Lim

I don't know why but I was somewhat surprised to see that they actually do have mini tour buses!

The excited kids :P

Giraffe!

I can't believe how near we were to the giraffes T_T So nice lorr.

And elephants too!

Purchase the sugarcane for RM3 and you can feed the elephant! And wow, as hard as the sugarcane, the elephant finished it within seconds ._. I never knew elephants' mouth is so strong T__T

I'm amazed that these storks are in the open and they can walk around as they wish .__.

The black one must be the boss because it looks the oldest among them! :P

Trust me, they can stay in this positing for a very, very long time ! It's hilarious when there is a few of them doing like that. Hahaha! Preying on the fish perhaps.

Running like lil kids xD

A thorn among roses? Reminds me of 'The Ugly Duckling' u___u

I didn't know ostrich sits like that. Must be very tired for them T__T

Eggs! But why is it in green colour? :O

This turkey must be lucky to escaped from being dinner for Christmas :P

Trying to scare the peacock so that it will open up -.-;;

I think swans are beautiful :)

A lot of deer! Too bad all of them were busy eating and didn't bother to entertain us at all pft.

Moomoooooo

We were dead thirsty and so thankful for these vending machines!

Malayan Gaur. The face damn 'yong sui' heh :P

Cute!

The 3 guys

What's this?

It's a camel!

Hyenas! Remember the 3 silly characters in Lion King? :P

3 huge rocks ._.

This tortoise looks as though it's smiling, don't you think so?

This mini crocodile actually looks quite pretty IMO. And it looks fake staying like that without moving an inch that we thought it was just a fake thing, until it moved a little -_-;;

Do you notice the white mice inside the snake's cage? I wonder if it's still alive today T__T Poor mice.

Posing like a boss!

Heh. I skipped all the snake pictures because I can't stand looking at them T___T

Tapir!

It was already 5pm and the zoo is supposed to be closed, but then we insisted going on because we hadn't see the bears and penguins yet! And I so want to see them but we didn't know where they are T___T

And after walking round and round, finally we saw the bears!

This one looks old and fierce

Mini bears! Okay, not that mini actually .___.

This bear was making so much noise banging the door. Joking. It was scratching against the door Idk why ._.

What's this!?

It's a hippo!

And finally! We found the penguins!

Damn cute can T___T

Cat fish. The fishes inside are so huge omg T__T

Before leaving, a jump shot is a must! (;

Love this picture!

I know lah I'm short, don't need to bend already right. But I was trying to escape from the sunlight, hence the bending down pft.

:DD

Oh, and thank goodness the gates weren't locked because we came out at 6pm. So worried that we might get locked inside and have to spend the night there LOL.

The car that brought us around :D

Honestly speaking, the zoo isn't that bad at all. Everyone who told me that the zoo is smelly, dirty and nothing to see, they ought to go to the zoo and eat back their words! Just because Malaysia is so well-known for lousy facilities and service etc etc, doesn't mean everything is that bad. But obviously, if you compare with Singapore Zoo or any other zoos, then our National Zoo is no match.

At first I was worried that the two other guys might find it boring, but thank goodness for their sporting-ness, all of us actually had a lot of fun! The last time that all of us visited the zoo was gazillion years back when we were still a kid. So yes, it was actually quite a nice trip for us to refresh our memory a little on what our Zoo Negara looks like :))

Since I've been to the Singapore Zoo and Zoo Negara, I shall target the Melaka Zoo next. Kekeke!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While not knowing where to go, the bf suggested for us to go have dinner at Restoran Makanan Teow Chew. We just been there the day before, and already paying another visit on the very next day! This is how crazily in love I am with their claypot chicken rice. It is by far my one and only favourite place for Claypot Chicken Rice and I've been their loyal customer ever since I was a young girl! :D

Iced red bean. At first I was quite disgusted with the look and thought of it because who drinks red bean soup with ice and in a cup like that?! Anyone in their right minds would order a warm red bean in bowl, the typical red bean soup. But once I took a sip of it, I had to take back my words. It actually taste good .___.

They serve 'teow chew' porridge too, as the name says it. Whenever I feel like eating porridge, the first place that comes in mind is here too! This place is one of my favourite restaurants of all time, no joke! They started out as a hawker stall by the roadside and years later, they expanded their business successfully and opened a shop in Taman Desa Aman. I used to go there very often, until one day I found out that they've closed down and they even pasted a notice saying "Closed Permanently" . I was devastated because I thought I was never ever going to find a good claypot chicken rice like that anymore.

Then the bf brought me to another shop that serves claypot chicken rice; the shop that he claimed has very nice claypot chicken rice as well. But no, the taste was different. It wasn't as good as this shop. And guess what?! One day as we were driving along the road outside Leisure Mall, we passed by a shop that looks so familiar and similar to the shop that we visited so often for their claypot chicken rice. And true enough, it is one of my favourite restaurants! I couldn't believe my eyes at that moment. My claypot chicken rice is finally back again T______T

Anyway, there is a story behind why they closed down the old shop and moved to a new one. I just got to heard about it yesterday the whole story behind it, but anyhow, no matter what the story is, I'm just glad that one of my favourite restaurants is back to business. Yeaaayy! ^^

So that's all about my love for claypot chicken rice >____>

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Over dinner, Chun Yee suddenly mentioned about prawn fishing out of nowhere. Speak of randomness. Without considering much, we all decided to go for prawn fishing after dinner! But before that, Chun Yee wanted to go home to get a change of clothes because he wore jeans and collar-tee. To ZOO. Crazy fella wear so nice to zoo -___-;;

He then told us that once we reached his house, we wouldn't feel like going for prawn fishing anymore. And damn right he was. His room is so comfortable and cozy, the minute I sat there, I was so lazy to go out already. What more, his super cute Poodle, Lucky, was what made me stay! :P

The one and only leng lui of the day :PP

The three leng zais of the day

And the superbly adorable Poodle named Lucky!

Proud owner of Lucky

Then we went to the karaoke room and the guys started singing. Me, as usual, just sat there and listen to the song while playing with the cameras and phone. I don't mind going karaoke with friends but I almost never sing most of the time. I just go there for the food and to listen to my friends' singing :P Kekeke.

We stayed there until 11.30pm, when everyone was finally tired out.

Group photos is a must before we leave! :D

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, scare of evil? :P

Stoned faces :P

So that summed up our day. Nothing was planned beforehand and everything was decided on the spot. I just love how spontaneous everyone is ! :DD And also, I'm so glad that Chun Yee and Aaron are able to click. No awkwardness or whatsoever even though they just met each other. We are so awesome yo! Kekeke.

I've finally had a day off from outings today. Been out since Saturday nonstop and will be out again tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Must fully utilize my holidays before college reopens! ;P Sigh. Super the lazy to return to college u.u

Bong'e Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Ampang

2011-12-30T02:51:00.000+08:00

Few days ago, JJY told me about a new Korean BBQ restaurant nearby her Uncle Jang restaurant. Since I've been somewhat craving for Korean food for quite some time, the bf decided that tonight we shall have Korean for dinner. So yay! We went to try out this new restaurant which JJY introduced. No thanks to my zero sense in direction, we took quite some time looking for it when it was just around the corner. Silly us!

Nonetheless, we still managed to arrive after turning for a few rounds.

As usual, right after you've placed the orders, they will start serving the side dishes. What got me excited is that they have my favourite peanuts & anchovies! Trust me, I used to refill that dish for at least 3 times back then :P

Hungry us waiting for food. Can't wait to dig into our foods!

Sorry but the hungry princess can't wait to eat! :P

Our must-have dish whenever we visit a Korean restaurant - Bibimbap RM15! Too bad they do not have the ones in hot stone pot :((

What makes their bibimbap more special compare to other restaurants? Well, I'm not sure about you guys but this was our first time having bibimbap and being able to control the amount of sauce we want! Yes, the bowl only has rice and the dishes in it but without the sauce. You are free to add in however much sauce you want according to your preference. Back in the Korean restaurant that we used to dine at, we always had to ask for an extra bowl of sauce because one bowl is just not enough. But this time, we do not have to go through the hassle anymore! The bf was very stingy with the sauce at first until I had to help him with it :P

The colour is coming up.. Mmm... Looks yummy....

Taste yummy too? I think he looks quite the seductive here LOL.

Tadaa! The end product. And yes, it tasted awesome! Heavenly! Mmmm....

Couldn't remember the name of this dish but it was okay-okay lah. I still love the bibimbap best! RM18

We couldn't decide on which meat to order because most of them are a tad bit too expensive, until the waiter recommended this pork neck, which is the cheapest meat in the menu - RM18. Of course, they do the cooking for you. But we did not know when it was time for us to start eating it until I felt something wasn't right. The meat was left there for too long with no one attending to it. When I flip it over, it was a little overcooked. Okay lah, still edible but I'd prefer it being just nice. And since it's the cheapest among all, I wouldn't complain much on the taste. But! I'll make sure to try the other meat on our next visit. Kekeke.

Was very tempted to order the LA Garbi but it costs RM40+ . u__________u Next time we shall just order a bowl of bibimbap and a plate of meat regardless of the price! Because two bowls of main dish with another plate of meat were just too much for the both of us.

What's Korean cuisine without their vegetables?! :PP Trust me, all the Korean restaurants I've been to serve this. It's to wrap up the dishes like popiah!

These two taste so good that I had to ask for refill, especially the one on the right! Peanut and anchovies, my favourite!

Our bloated faces. And my happy face because I had such an awesome dinner! ^^

And another uniqueness of this restaurant is that instead of serving watermelons after your meal like all other Korean restaurants, they serve drinks instead! I'm not sure what drink was it but it tasted flowery? Lol! Something like herbal tea I suppose.

All in all, I would definitely visit there again for their bibimbap and LA Garbi! :))

Christmas 2011

2011-12-29T16:19:00.001+08:00

Sooooo I'm a bit the lazy to edit the tonnes of photos taken during the Hatyai trip, hence there will be a delay in the part 2 post.

Anyway, since Christmas has just passed, I shall blog about it! Nonetheless, there's nothing much to talk about this year. In fact, it was quite a boring Christmas. First thing first, I went from malls to malls taking pictures of the Christmas decorations as what I've done last year. BUT! To say from malls to malls is somewhat an overstatement because this year I did not go to so many places. Unlike last year, I went to Leisure Mall, Sungei Wang, Times Square, Pavilion, Fahrenheit, and KLCC.

This time, I've only been to Mid Valley, Gardens, Sunway Pyramid, and Pavilion. I must say it was because I totally underestimated how fast the time is flying by. I kept telling myself there's still lots of time till Christmas day, so I shall laze for now. And who knows, in a blink of eye, Christmas was already drawing near! That explains why I've only been to four places (and that's also because MV and Gardens are just next to each other!) and it was all last minute ._.

So here! Sunway Pyramid! It was such a coincidence that we decided to meet up with Chef Loke in Sunway Pyramid and while he was running late, I took the opportunity to take photos there. Kekeke.

It's been so long since I last skated u.u

The wishing well. I wonder if anyone actually takes some coins from there. Hmmm....

A somewhat stupid looking reindeer :P

A not-so-fat snowman

A clearer view of the stage from the upper level

Mid Valley.

THe bf who is always my photographer :))

The huge and pretty Christmas tree :)

Part of the maze.

We saw a couple posing at this exact spot using timer on his DSLR. So the bf offered to help them instead, and in return the guy helped us to take some shots as well! ^^

The entrance to the beautiful maze!

Barbie Doll Christmas Tree! It's my first time seeing things like this! Very creative indeed :D

The view from top :)) If you're wondering why are there so little people, it's because the time is pretty late already. Which was a good thing, because then we don't have to be pushed around by people or let your photos be interrupted by humans.

Gardens.

The top three photos were taken before we headed to MV, and the rest were taken after we were back from MV. Since we parked in Gardens basement, we had the chance to snap more pictures again with lesser people around! Hence we were also able to play around with the display items! Kekeke.

Us <3

Candycanes!

Marshmallows! I wonder if anyone ever stole some before. But of course it would be unhygienic with all the curious people (like me and the bf :P) opening the lid and touch it to see if it's real or not.

Cute cupcake

Yes, this was on timer. Since there was very few people around and I found an empty table standing there, the idea struck me!

Ooohhhhh, what huge earrings!

Ooops, someone spilled something?

Aaaaahhhhhhhh, grapes!

Grrrr, Imma eat you up, Lil Gingerbread man!

I was a ballet student, no joke!

Not knowing how else to pose anymore?

Looks like a prisoner behind bars. Except, Imma happy prisoner, no? xD

Beautiful lights :)

Time for some dinner!

(;

HE is a display item

Ooooh, what a huge ball!

He was trying to imitate my second brother's profile picture in this. Hahahah.

Another timer shot ^^

We were walking and then suddenly I saw these three men. Initially I really thought they were just mannequins, until they started moving. Not sure what were they trying to do but seems super cool! And they can really stay there motionless for quite some time! I was so tempted to go in and play too T__T

So that's all about MV and Gardens. On Christmas eve, we went to Pavilion for their Christmas decorations and damn did I regret going there. Pavilion is already packed on normal days, what more on Christmas eve! It was hell, no joke. Humans everywhere. We weren't even able to snap some nice shots without any humans T___T It was mad crazy and these kind of uber packed places just makes my mood goes off. Pft. Very, very frustrating. Anyhow, here are some of the best shots we could get.

Look at the humans!

Love the purple tree!

Many humans x.x

A lady actually took the display item out to pose with it, then a guard came and took it from her ._.

Looks yummy, no? :P

Santa Claus is ~~coming~~ in town!

This year, they have free merry-go-round rides for the kids! Yay kids!

Just look at the people T____T

After all that, I was pretty hungry already. The bf planned to go LookOutPoint for dinner but since I was starving, I wanted to have dinner at Ben's. Tough luck though, because the queue was unexpectedly long. On normal days it is always quite empty but who knew it would be so packed on Christmas eve? Sigh. So anyways, we went and bought a drink to quench our thirsts in the meantime.

Ochado! Anything over Chatime. Chatime is not my cup of tea at all and yet it's so overrated idk why pft.

Happy me after getting a drink and since I wasn't that hungry anymore, we headed to LookOutPoint. We were expecting mad jam but surprisingly, the journey there was smooth. We reached there a tad bit early, at around 9pm. Had dinner in Haven, where we dined at once. It was good at that time, which was why I wanted to go there again. But instead, I was so very disappointed. I wonder if it's because we ordered different things last time or was it because it was so packed on that night that the chefs got too tired cooking. Either way, I did not have a hearty dinner on Christmas eve. Boo to that!

Mushroom soup

The bf's trio something something that tasted not bad. There were chicken, lamb and fish.

My Seafood Carbonara. I used to love Carbonara last time but recently, I got addicted to Aglio Olio or any pasta with olive oil. I no longer like Carbonara but they do not have many choices, hence I ordered this. Which wasn't nice at all u____u

Since there was still some time to kill before the clock strikes 12am, we hopped over to Gasoline thinking we could play some card games while we munch on some tidbits.

To our dismay, they do not have playing cards and they only serve their set menus on that night. So yes, another disappointment. Since we had nothing much to do, we decided to leave to a friend's little party instead.

Finally able to have a clear shot of the view from LOP all thanks to my DSLR :D

Anyway, it was my first time welcoming Christmas in the car with the bf, Chun Yee (and his two cousins) and Bitto. We were running late because we had to fetch Bitto and then back to Cheras, to Stefanie's house. It was also my first time celebrating the first few moments of Christmas with a whole new bunch of people. Though most of them were from Sri Garden, but we were never really friends back then. When I think about it now, it seems funny how friends whom I weren't friends with back then, seem to be my friends now. Isn't it strange how all these things work? Hmmm....

So yes, we played Mafia and some drinking game up till 4am. By the time I got home, my stomach is bloated with liquid inside. Arghhh.

The next day, the bf and I went for Christmas lunch along with JJY! :DD Great time spent with my two favourite people. Kekeke. Had brunch at Delicious, Mid Valley. Gawd, their foods are indeed delicious. Way much better than my Christmas eve dinner T___T

Indeed, they live up to their name! lol.

Didn't know they changed menu. This menu is a lot nicer too!

Bf's ice cappuccino

Chili minced beef fries with melted cheese. Oh my, this is heavenly T___T

Since the night before I couldn't have my olive oil spaghetti, I was dissatisfied. So here, I insist on having pasta again. Kekeke. My Aglio Olio Spaghetti with Beef Bacon! Yummm.

Thai Beef Salad that mummy loves to order whenever she goes Delicious!

After having a satisfying meal, we went to the pet shop and got something for Belle. Kekeke. The next item on the list for that day was to have the chocolate fondue in Haagen-Dazs but unfortunately, they didn't have it on that day. Sighhh. The bf was actually contemplating whether or not we drive to Sunway Pyramid just for the fondue, but then in the end decided not to due to time constraint as we were supposed to go yumcha with his friends later at night. But in the end the yumcha was canceled -_____-

Anyway! So we came home and played around with Belle and Bunny. Kekeke.

Belle's Christmas present. New collar and a bone!

Putting on her new present while she waits patiently .

And now, look at the camera and smileeeee! :DD

"Sigh, I don't understand these humans. Why must they take photographs of everything? Oh well whatever. I shall just pose for the camera and have my bone later without disturbance!"

"Mmmmm finally! Posing for the camera is easy peasy. Now I can haz my bone. Nom nom nom."

"Ohh? They got Bunny this time? What are they doing to Bunny? I see something red.."

"None of my business anyway. I shall just continue chewing on my bone and let them play with Bunny."

In the meanwhile, this is what happened to Bunny :P

First with Santa hat.

Then.... "What? What is this lady trying to do to me?!"

"Oh-em-geeee. Did she just tie a ribbon on my head?! Excuse me, I'm a boy, not a girl! Now you made me look like some sissy girl with a ribbon on top. Arghhh!"

"Oh well. They'll take it off me once they're done with the camera. And I love my mummy smooching me!"

"MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL!!"

And this is my presents! The Hello Kitty box of biscuits was given by JJY and Adrian some time ago, but the awesome me managed to wait till Christmas only open it! Kekeke. And the Snowman and very unique card were from the bf.

So that's about how I spent my Christmas eve and Christmas day itself :) Nothing big like the previous years but I think it was a meaningful Christmas as I get to spend them with my favourite people and my furry family members as well!

So which mall do you think has the nicest decorations? Judging from the amount of pictures from each malls, I would say Gardens because I had fun playing around with those display items! :P I still prefer last years decorations in Pavilion though. It doesn't feel very Christmasy in Pavilion this year with those United Bear statues outside. Speaking of which, I ought to go grab some photos of those bears but as you know it, it's always mad crazy packed there T____T

Nothingness

2011-12-28T03:20:00.000+08:00

It isn't easy at all living a life you never liked. It is even harder to live your own life, when every moment you just wish you could live other peoples' lives. I know, I know. People will just say there are more unfortunate ones out there, and that we should all appreciate our own lives. I've tried living with that statement for the past few years and to be honest, I even said those words to friends who hate their own lives.

I'm such a hypocrite, I know. Because in reality, I myself can't live with that statement. Humans are greedy. The more you're given, the more you demand. But I've got nothing much to demand for, truth to be told. Because in my life, there's nothing that can be done about it.

I'm envious of friends who have loving and bonded families. Not just within one family but with all the aunties, uncles, cousins etc etc. They get pampered by their parents, getting whatever they want. Some of my friends, all they need to do to get money is just extend their palms out and ask for it. Some of my friends, they just have to ask for the latest gadget or whatever it is that they want, and the next moment it will appear right in front of them. Blackberry, iPhone, iPad, laptop etc etc. To me, it's like a magic or a wish come true. I never had that kind of privilege.

True enough, while some of my friends who came from a somewhat more complicated families than the normal, loving ones, at least they get all the things they want even if they do not have parental love. I know nothing can be compared to parental love, but hey, you can't ask for much if you do not have both, no? If you are at least getting whatever you want from your parents, it is much better than I, who have neither. No parental love, don't get what I want, nothing.

Growing up with a single mother, I know how hard it is for her. Which is why I dare not demand anything from her, even though from the bottom of my heart I really wanted some things. But I've learned not to ask for anything. Don't ask me where did I learn that from because I don't know, really. It just doesn't feel right for me to ask. Besides, I've already knew the answer even before I had to ask for it. The answers are always 'No' and 'It's a waste of money.' Hence, I always use my savings to get my own things but thankfully, the bf has been very generous with me. That explains why we're so broke.

I also seem to be unable to keep my friends close to me. It's a wonder how my friends are still able to keep in touch even though they're in different countries. I don't think I have such a wonderful friendship before and honestly, yes, I envy them to the max. And Facebook isn't helping at all because each time I look at them, I'd ask myself why am I such a failure? We were from the same circle of friends before and yet, I feel like an outcast all the time.

I tried really hard to have that kind of friendship. That is the sole reason why I wanted a Blackberry, so I could BBM and Whatsapp with friends who are overseas. Yes, no doubt it did help me get in touch with them much easier, but I guess I'm still a failure at it. I could never get the kind of friendship that I longed for.

In fact, I could never get anything at all.
The kind of parental love that I longed for;
The kind of loving and bonded family that I longed for;
or at least the kind of love from parents where I get what I want.
Nuh uh, I get nothing.

I feel like I'm such a failure. Couldn't get anything done right. Couldn't live the life I yearned for. Couldn't stop yearning for so much.

I always feel like I have nothing. I'm always at lost. Sometimes, I really hope all this is just a dream, and one day later I would be woken up to a whole new life. But I know it isn't a dream at all. It's my life and I just have to deal with it. People often say stay strong, but heck, sometimes even the strong ones deserve a break or two.

Sometimes, I feel like a lost child, waiting for someone to pick me up and give me a better life, change my life to a whole new world. Well yeah, that's never gonna happen because this ain't a fairytale. It's a god damn reality.

And after having all these emo thoughts, crying out silently, at least the one thing that can make me feel better is crawl into the sleeping bf's arms and fall asleep. At least that's the one place I wouldn't feel so lonely. It's true that sometimes I tried telling myself nothing else matters as long as I have him with me, since I don't matter as much to others as they do to me. But I guess I suck at consoling myself because it's just a matter of time till I start feeling the emptiness again.

I just want myself to matter to my friends. I just want the kind of friendship that I longed for. I would never demand for parental love or the kind of love from parents where I get what I want because I know I'm never going to get it. But it seems like the friendship is also out of my reach.

Sometimes I really feel that all I have in this world are just the bf and Belle.

And don't try to tell me that you understand me, because I don't think anyone does. I'm just so miserable like that. I seriously, honestly, want a new life. Out of this world, out of this place, out of this emptiness.

Hatyai, Thailand pt. I

2011-12-22T03:37:00.000+08:00

For those who didn't know, I went to Hatyai, Thailand for a trip with the bf, mummy and her group of friends. We departed on Friday night from mummy's friend's house; a bus fully loaded with 42 (more or less) passengers. I wouldn't say that it was the most enjoyable ride ever, because let's face it, sitting in the bus for 8 hours and having to sleep in a sitting position is not comfortable at all. Nonetheless, we stopped by Ipoh for their famous beansprout chicken before heading to Thailand. Yes, supper at 12am ._.

We reached the Thailand embassy at about 5am (I think so. Because I remember waking up to go to the loo) but it wasn't opened yet, so we remained sleeping. The tour guide woke us up once the embassy started operating. Thankfully though, that we were so early. One of the first few buses I would say. Otherwise we had to spend time lining up to check-in.

After everything was settled, our first stop in Thailand was of course, a chicken rice shop for our breakfast. Yes, chicken rice again ._.

BUT! They serve pork as well and knowing us Chinese, it is a must for us to order roast pork and char siu - my loves !

Despite having my 'love' served in front of me, I couldn't eat much. First, I'm not hungry yet. Second, I'm not the kind that takes breakfast u.u What more, it was a superbly oily breakfast -_- There are some foods I would prefer having in the morning and for lunch as well as dinner. I don't like too oily foods during breakfast. Well, not that I take breakfast very often but yeah.

Oh look! What a cute car plate!

I wonder why Malaysia doesn't allow these kinds of car plates. It would be so much cuter no?

Our next destination was.... well, I forgot the name but it was somewhat a mini market that sells a lot a lot of jewelries and also souvenirs.

No doubt, the aunties were all attracted to the cheap golds and diamonds there. Even mummy bought a bracelet and I got myself a pair of earrings. Kekeke.

Before leaving the place, we managed to order a bowl of Coconut Bird Nest. It was so cheap and delicious that I was so tempted to order another bowl but unfortunately, we were out of time T_T One thing I don't like about group tour is that we are given limited time for every place and even if we had nothing to do in a particular place, we still had to wait for everyone else u.u

Another destination, which you can clearly see, is a place that sells snacks. Not my interest at all hence, I went back to the bus with the bf. And then I got shocked when mummy came back to the bus with one (or was it two?) big bag of snacks. She can really shop I tell you ._.

Aaaand the last stop before heading to our hotel - the temple! Well, I've always believed myself to be a free-thinker although I'm supposed to be a Buddhist, but our family did not really practice any sort of religions, hence I'm free to eat beef all I want. And it's one of my favourite foods because beef tastes so good you can't deny it T_T

Anyway! No harm taking pictures while the mother does the praying right? :D Although I did too, because she told me to.

The three Gods, whom, to be honest, I don't know of except for the middle one, Kuan Yin Ma, right? Right?! :D

Then they have this birds for sale which you have to free them later on. only 100baht, which is RM10. So yes, why not free some birdies?! They look so poor cooped up in the cages :( If I could I would buy all and release them T_T

The birds, eager to be freed :DD

The bell, which you are supposed to make a wish and then hit it. Do it three times repeatedly, which means you have three wishes! Well, I did hit the bell too, but I wished for.... nothing ._. Honestly, I never knew what to wish for whenever there are prayers or some sort like this, because it seems unfair of me to wish for anything if I'm a free-thinker like what I've claimed to be. Besides that, I can't be wishing to be wealthy, can I? These kinds of wishes just don't come true so easily.

The view from the temple. Very much like KL, no?

The dragon head, and there's the bf and mummy posing by the tongue.

This is Choi San Yeh, right right?! :D

The 12 Zodiac animals ! Excuse me but I tend to get excited whenever I see animals, be it real or fake ones like these :P Looking at them all together reminds me of an Anime called Fruits Basket, which talks about the Zodiac animals.

Tuk tuk!

If you think KL is so noisy during CNY with all the fire crackers, this is worst. It's damn loud and long and a lot of customers keeps buying fire crackers T_T Noisy max!

The remnants. I wonder if there's anyone who actually cleans it up or not hmmm.

Yup, look how long it is!

After a long, long day, we were finally sent back to our hotel!

No, we did not arrive at night. It's just that I took this picture at night instead of daytime.

The view from mummy's room. She shared a room with another lady.

Our (bf and I) room <3

After dinner, it was our free time to do whatever we like! Some of them went to see the various performances, whereas the three of us of course rather walk around and do some shopping. Because I am uninterested in the performances especially the ~~Tiger~~ Thai Girl Show -___-

Their famous Mango Sticky rice! Apparently this stall is very famous because by the time we came back for it, it's all sold out T_T So we had to get it from another stall.

No idea what is this but it looks too disgusting to try.

Cute keychains! 4 for 100baht (RM10) only! At first I bought only 4, but at the end of the trip, I bought 16 of them >_> Cos they were so cute I couldn't resist buying them T_T

I assume that we've walked very far, far away because we found ourselves lost.. in the middle of nowhere ._. We can't possibly read the signboards because obviously we do not know Thai words, so we simply walked here and there, to where is brightest. And thank God we made it back, safe and sound T_T

I'm not sure what are those money trees for, but mummy said something about donation for the flood victims in Bangkok. But anyway, did you notice a policeman on the left?! He actually joined in with the group of people and they looked like they are having so much of fun. I look at them in awe because it was my first time seeing a policeman being so friendly and all smiley to their citizens. In here, Malaysia? Pft. All the policemen look so fierce and they don't even smile at you for a millisecond as though you owe them a fortune or they want to beat you up. Very scary looking. Makes me so envy looking at them.

Finally! We went back to our hotel and before mummy went back to her room, we tried the Mango Sticky rice and damn, was it good T_T

I'm so missing it right now u.u

Here are some of the things we bought! :DD

Was desperately looking for a pair of home sandals ever since my Hello Kitty one torn. Although these are not as nice as my Hello Kitty one, but they're much, much cheaper!

The four voodoo keychains :D Cute right?!

We brought an empty luggage bag to fill our shopping goods and look, only 1 day and it's already 'bloated' ._.

So, how did we manage to bring back all our shopping goods from the second day? That shall remain as wonders until the next update. Hohoho.

Will update on pt. II after I'm done with the filtering of photos! Gawd, there's 462 photos for the second day itself. Mad or what?! It'll take me some time to filter them T_T

Rock Climbing Newbie

2011-12-19T02:25:00.000+08:00

Hola peeps! I'm finally back! Hope there are still some people around? Lol.

Truth is, I've kinda lost my blogging mojo. I finished finals on the 8th of December and then I've been.. well, doing all other things except for blogging. I occupied myself with Pokemon game when the Unifi was down (heck, even during exam period ._.) and after I got back the Unifi, I downloaded all the English dramas that I've missed out on. So yes, after 3 days I've finally caught up with all the dramas - Gossip Girl, Glee, Vampire Diaries. 1 drama per day yo! And it's not only 1 epi each but 6 to 8. Yup, that was how outdated I've been!

Anyway, since I couldn't sleep again, I thought I might as well just update this dead blog a little since I don't really have any other things to do.

So, last Friday I went rock climbing. Like finally I got the chance to go because each time Darren invited me, it's always at the wrong timing D:

It was super the far away, at Putrajaya. So yep, don't expect me to know the way there because I'm such senseless in directions like that. Anyways, I later learned that there's a similar thing in 1U but their rates are much more expensive at around RM30 - RM40. But here in Putrajaya, it only costs RM18 for 3 hours! Normally they wouldn't be so strict as to shoo you out after 3 hours when there aren't many customers. Unlucky for us, it was getting more packed later in the evening and hence, we had to leave when our time was up.

Since Chun Yee, Kai Yen and I were first-timers, the 'pros' brought us to this beginner wall for us to 'warm up' first. A really short wall with cushion beneath it so you wouldn't die even if you fall. And then, it was the real thing! Darren and I were first. It seemed very easy to me at first but halfway through I could feel my arms. My arms were going numb and I felt so much like giving up, but then I told myself I'm no quitter. I have to at least get to the end of it. So yes, I forced my poor arms to climb all the way up and finally! We were going down down down :DD

And then I was 'dead.' More like my arms were dead. I totally underestimated this sports. Never knew it actually requires so much of strength. But one thing I love is the abseiling part. The bliss you feel when you finally forced your way up there and couldn't wait to get down just to lie motionless on the floor. Kekeke. Well, that's for me lahh. Oh and I actually sweated a lot each time I climb. A good thing, no? (Y)

And then next was Kai Yen, who.. well, took quite some time because he was so afraid and wanted to give up, but Suki, who was belaying him, didn't allow him to give up and kept 'motivating' him to go up. Well, Kai Yen has a fear of heights so yeah. Guess it couldn't be blamed.

The red shirt guy is Kai Yen and as you can see, he was still stuck at the same place when Bitto overtook him, came down, and Darren overtook him and came down.

Kenji Tan Chun Yee in action. Drop dead afterwards :P

The belaying people. Well, all of them took turns to belay but I on the other hand, didn't bother learning how to belay. I shall learn that next time!

Bitto climbing like a monkey

Suki. You can see from the top right picture that he was resting there :P

And me. Yes, Bitto didn't take a picture of me climbing up :((

& then Darren decided to go for the more advanced wall and........

He fell. And then decided to post for the camera -.-

The further advanced level.

Yes, it might seems easy seeing there are so many rocks. But no, you have to actually pick one certain colour and only use that colour to climb up. Of course, if you want to cheat, you can do so by using all the rocks but then that defeats the purpose of it all, no?

As a first-timer, I managed to climb only 3 walls. Oh wells. Better than Chun Yee who did only one :P Kekeke. And my arms are still sore even until now :(

Well, I definitely can't wait for the next session! But I've gotta wait till my arms are fully recovered first. Guess this means that I've not been exercising much at all :P

11/11/11

2011-11-11T11:46:00.000+08:00

I'm not very particular about dates as most people, but since I'm now stress-free and I've got nothing to do, just a very short update for anyone who still visits my dead blog :D

Gone are the days where I'm buried underneath the pile of assignments. Gone are the days where I spent sleepless nights rushing assignment, and also the days where I spent the night in bf's office just because my house Internet is down. Well, still down. Guess my brother isn't going to fix it anytime soon. Thank goodness my current 2 assignments do not require me to do research on the net. Yes, Accounting is the love ♥

Anyways, the bf's cousin, Wilson (a famous food and travel blogger), has sent his dog over to my house for me to foster for a week because he and his wife will be out of town. Hee. The first night he brought Bosco over, the dog kept humping Belle. But unfortunately Bosco is shorter and smaller size than Belle, hence he couldn't really hump her the right way. So yes, fret not about her being pregnant xD

The 4 of us - the bf, Wilson and his wife, and I spent an hour watching these two new friends play with each other. It was quite entertaining and hilarious, especially when Bosco wouldn't give up humping on Belle even though he's too short for her. HAHA! They were ~~running~~ dashing around in my garden and surprisingly, Belle worn out before Bosco O.o

Isn't really an obvious picture of him humping Belle, but yah, you get the picture :P And this is Belle, too tired to even bother him.

My latest sticky notes. Amazing how my Events are always so full although I'm piled up with assignments. Well, not exactly anymore since I only have 3 remaining assignments. Whoopeedooo!

Anyway, Bosco is such a darling! He's really adorable and obedient and silly-looking, which makes me laugh at him all the time. Whoops :P

Alright now. Time to get back to my Accounting work !

Still on a Hiatus

2011-11-06T18:41:00.001+08:00

Oh my. I just realised it's been almost a month since I last blogged. Yes, that shows how busy I've been and in addition to that, my Internet is down again. Sucky time especially when I'm loaded with assignments. So yes, I've been hopping around to leech Internet but the main place is still the bf's office. Heh. Been crazy rushing assignments. Can't believe I managed to finish 1 assignment in one day time. Why? Because it was due the next day and I only started a day before. Awesome or what? And no, I did not procrastinate this time. Trust me, I started the assignments pretty early. Just that I had to do most work for groups assignments and the assignments kept coming in. Group assignments have no difference from individual assignments for me because well, I'm a perfectionist and I want the assignments to be perfect. I'm starting to wonder if I have an OCD.

Anyway, I still have 4 assignments due, 1 presentation, 3 tests and 1 finals coming up all in this month. So yes, I'll still be away from blog until December. Of course, in the midst of busyness, I still managed to take a break from my hectic life - drinking for Octoberfest, 2D1N trip to Cameron Highlands with the bf, lunch date with my girls and whatnot. But well, I'm too busy to update right now. Will be back to blogging once my hectic sem is over, I promise!

Oh and before I forget, I'm going to Hap Zai on the 25th November until 28th November! And my Moral finals falls on 29th November. Awesome no? Hur hur hur. I'm so dead. And I only realised that the break is meant for study break, because my finals is right a week after that. And instead of studying, I'm going for a holiday. Well, not like I'll study at home anyway since I always do last minute studying. Kekeke. Oh and so coincidentally again it's gonna be 15 monthsary for us! First it was the Cameron Highlands trip which fell on our 14th monthsary, and now this trip. Aww, special no? And I swear it wasn't planned! It just so happens that we decided to go on that date and after that only I realised it was 25th of the month. Haha!

Anyways, I shall get back to my assignment. Toodles!

Sushi King dinner with the bunch. Buy 1 Free 1! Anyway, that wasn't all. We added a few more plates after that. Kekeke. We were laughing hysterically nonstop because they are so hilarious like that. And yes, we didn't fail to catch the attention of others. Paiseh-ness -.-;;

Imma Busy Bee

2011-10-11T17:09:00.001+08:00

There are so many events that I've been meaning to update on but unfortunately, my tight schedules don't allow me to do so. Rushing for assignment once again and I got a shock of my life when I found out that two assignments are due next Monday. It seems like I did not keep track of the time T_T

College life has been hectic, what more we are being bombarded with talks, talks, talks and more talks recently. Which I just skipped two today :X Not forgetting also the tests. Sigh. It's all about talks, tests, assignments, tests, assignments, assignments, assignments.

Anyway, a really short update on what has been going on in my life. I'm waiting for Ting, Dotty and Dia to come my house and off we go for dinner at Uncle Jang, so why not kill some time by updating my poor blog while waiting, no? And yes, obviously I'm procrastinating my assignment :X

22nd September '11
A few of us were sent to attend this AHRA conference in KLCC. Honestly, I did not listen even one bit of the talk (okay lah. maybe 2%, that's all) and towards the end, I was getting sleepier and yes, I did snooze off for a few minutes. The only thing I enjoyed at the conference was the meals! Seriously, I never know they serve so many times of meals a day in a conference! Before the talk started which was early in the morning, we were served with breakfast. But I did not help myself to it though. After an hour of talk, there was an hour of break. After an hour of talk again, it was lunch time for 1.5 hours or so. After an hour of talk again, there was tea break. Awesome or what?! Of course, in contrary with being awesome, I feel bad for being such a glutton and clearly it's no good at all for me. FAT!!

Thank goodness I managed to borrow a formal skirt and blazer from Keng Sein T_T

So boring until had to camwhore. Kekeke. I think this doesn't look like me though @@

After the talk ended, it was a spontaneous plan to visit Uncle Jang for dinner with a few of them including Chef Lee and Mr. Gobein. I even told myself that I won't eat dinner after having a feast in KLCC but how could I resist Uncle Jang right right right?! T___T

27th September '11

Went to a Korean restaurant which was very near to Uncle Jang for dinner with the bf. It was our first time being there, and it was also because of this cheap deal that I bought via Groupsmore.com . Seriously, ever since I found out about this website, I couldn't stop myself from going there everytime just to see what's cheap. And no doubt it is really tempting especially when the prices are so cheap T_T

So yes, I bought this coupon for RM30 (very cheap right?!) but to my dismay, they served quite little for two pax. Initially I thought the bf and I are going to have one portion for each, but no :/ Plus they didn't even serve rice, so we had to order a bowl of rice which costs RM5+. And their side dishes are not as superb as the Korean restaurant that I often visit in Ampang u.u

Will never ever go back there anymore pft :((

1st & 2nd October '11

Adrian, Kevin and JJY came over during the weekends to learn Accounts from me. Hohoho. And they were this hardworking only because we had a test that week.

Can't deny that it was somewhat a good, quality time spent with them :))

Dinner with them and momma later that night. Kekeke.

7th October '11

Went to an orphanage in PJ, Agathians Shelter, for our Moral project. Glad that this project is almost complete now! :DD

And this, is my very tight schedule.

My memory has gotten so bad that I need these memos to remind myself of my tests, assignments deadlines and events. I never had to use these before, but now I do T_T Sigh sigh sigh. Am really getting older now :X

Oh, I wonder why are there so many weddings this year, especially in the month of October to November. So far I've already gotten four invitations. If it weren't for my tight schedule, I could be more delighted about it since I finally get to dress up for a dinner. What more it was also my very first time attending such event with the bf!

Planning to go Cameron Highlands with the bf on the 29th simply because we saw a super cheap deal in Groupsmore again! Kekeke. 4-star hotel for RM209 for two person 2D1N. Mad cheap or what?! And the hotel looks really nice. Kekeke. Initially we were supposed to go last week but the bf had work to do so... T_T Hoping nothing pops out suddenly on 29th!

Before I end my post, here's a really weird bug-looking picture of me! :P

Oh the girls are here now. Bye!

friends? relationships?

2011-10-08T14:32:00.000+08:00

friends are very, very important to me and i do value friendship a lot.
i used to value friendship even more than relationship.
yes, i put my friends before my boyfriend.
simply because i once used to tell myself that friends are those who always stay by us.
before we find our other halves, we spent most if not all of our time with our friends.
even in a relationship, we go to our friends when things get bumpy with our other halves.
when the relationship ended, again we go to our friends.
you see, friends are those who never once leave you no matter what situation you're in.

but i guess as i grow up, things aren't the same as my perceptions.
friends do leave, especially when they find their other halves.
girl friends leave because they no longer have much time for you as it used to be.
boy friends leave because their girlfriends get jealous over your close friendship (if you're a girl) with the guy.

i've been in these situations a few times before and yet it still breaks my heart each time it happens.
i just don't get how people's minds work.
have you forgotten who was the one who encouraged you and advised you when your relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend gets bumpy?
have you forgotten who stuck by you before you get your boyfriend/girlfriend?
and this applies to both the girlfriend and boyfriend, if you're a friend of both. and yet the girl can still get jealous over your friendship with her boyfriend when you were the middle person for both.

i just don't understand how can people change so drastically right after they get their other halves.

maybe i'm just a fool for valuing friendship more than relationship because clearly, my boyfriend will never leave me like how my friends left me.

if i could, i would erase all the memories we once had when we were close friends.
what makes me even more upset is that i was a close friend to this guy already even before they coupled.

as usual, i'm always a nobody when i am of no use anymore.

why do this have to bloody repeat all the time? fuck it.

Arthur's Day '11

2011-10-03T21:40:00.000+08:00

Yes, I'm aware that Arthur's Day has passed long time ago but sorry lah, I'm only free for blogging time right now! Been so busy for the past few weeks with I don't know what, but I just seem and feel so busy! To the extent that I don't even have much time for myself hence the irregular updates now. Was busy tutoring my friends for Accounts over the weekends. Somehow I'm glad that I took Accounts back in SPM and A-Levels. Makes the subject so much more easy for me now when I look at my friends struggling with that subject. Kekeke. Plus, Accounts has always been one of my favourite subjects too! No joke! Just that I really died kao kao in A-Levels for all subjects including my favourite Accounts.

Learning basic Accounts all over again feels really nostalgia to me. It is no doubt that I miss my A-Level life in MCKL especially Mr. Fern's Accounting class. If only I can turn back time..... ah. Let's skip with all that speech, shall we?

So anyway! It was a really last minute plan. I was asked if I want to go for Arthur's Day a few days before the event but at first I didn't feel like going that much. And then on that day itself, which was a Friday, my friend called and asked me again if I fancy going for the event as he has 3 extra tickets. So yes, in the end decided to go mainly because of Taio Cruz(!) and since it's for free, why not right?! Kekeke. So the other two extra tickets of course went to the bf and Janice. She was the first person that I thought of inviting when I heard there's an extra ticket. At first I was worried that she might not be able to click with my friends Kok Hong and Aaron (the guys I met from Maxis PC Fair last year), but my worry was for nothing! As expected from her, she's a socialize baby and she clicked alright with them. Kekeke.

The journey there was, however, very horrible. It was epic jam and I think our journey to there took us almost 2 hours when by right we should reach there within half an hour only. Can you imagine how bad the jam is? It is so very very bad to the extent that some people rather just leave their drivers stuck in the jam and walk to the place instead. The first man who did it was an ang moh. Really salute him! Until I saw more and more people doing so.... ._. Tempted to get down of the car and walk to the venue as well but then of course I wouldn't leave my poor bf in the car, will I? Kekeke. And then halfway through the jam there was this man who came down from a truck, walked to the bushes and did his small business there ._. Oh my. I know KL traffic is horrible, but I must admit that this was my first time seeings things like this after so many years. Not only the peeing part but also the part where people actually got down from the cars and walked to the venue.

This picture did no justice to the jam seriously :D

When we saw this at the roundabout, we knew we were reaching! Like finally ._.

Impatient already! Walk even faster!

And finally! We reached and thank goodness it didn't take us very long to look for a parking. Silly me for taking my whole Canon DSLR big fat red bag with the camera in it. I should have figured out that no cameras are allowed in a concert but really, it didn't cross my mind at all! T_T I went there with high expectations to take many photos but boohoo, the security saw the big fat red bag with a Canon word on it and stopped us. So yes, no choice but to walked all the way back to the car to keep the camera. Sighh ;(

This is the one and only nice photos taken with my baby DSLR before being brought back to the car :(

But luckily Janice brought a digital cam as well! So yes, at least the night didn't go to a waste because we still did capture some photos for the sake of memories. Kekeke. Should have brought my digital cam too but to be honest, I seldom use that now since I have my 600D ._. Shall start utilizing it again!

Strong girl yo! :P

I've no idea why the frequency was so bad in the area that it was so hard to make a call. Plus it was crazily packed with humans that it is impossible to find them if it weren't for the one miserable successful call. Turned out that they were in the Arthur's Lounge waiting for us.

Had to pay RM15 per person to enter the lounge and it includes one pint of Guinness as well. It was our first time to Arthur's Day, so we actually thought we were going to be served bottomless of Guinness whole night! Have to admit that we're so jyakun or innocent that not only we do not get any bottomless drinks, but we also have to pay to drink! :( But well, RM15 is okay lah for a pint. The lounge was more like a place for people to enjoy the air-cond instead of standing outdoor and sweat before the main concert starts. It was also less packed, so we could really spend some time in there before going out again.

And guess what?! We were allowed to serve our own beer too!

It was no doubt my first time trying this. Kekeke. Okay lah, we don't actually drink the pint that we pulled. We have to leave our glass for the next person and take the previous person's glass instead because it had to settle down first before being drinkable. And no, not that we're using used glass. The glasses were taken from the bar itself, obviously.

The guys from left to right, NCY, Kok Hong & Aaron

My baby Janice and yours truly xD

♥♥♥

Our first group picture!

After all the picture takings and finished up with our drinks, we went outdoor to wait for Taio Cruz!

Initially we were quite far from the stage but we slowly made our way to the front! Not exactly front front but still, quite near to the stage lah :DD

♥♥♥

A picture to give you a rough idea on how crowded it was!

My favourite DJs, JJ and Ean! They're the only DJs that I like. After listening to them, I find other DJs are so boring. No offence but maybe it's because I tend to change channels whenever there isn't any music playing, except when it was JJ and Ean on air. Then again I only listen to the radio when I'm driving. But really, they're the best DJs I've ever known! It's all thanks to them that most of my mornings are filled with laughter during my journey to college. Yes, sometimes I even practically laughed out loud to myself in the car listening to them ._.

Making noises to bring Taio Cruz out!

Finally he's here! While everyone else was shouting "Taio Cruz! Taio Cruz!", Janice was there shouting "Tayar Kerus! Tayar Kerus!" LOL. Thank God no one threw rotten eggs/tomatoes at her or bash her up xD

Started with his famous song Break Your Heart and the crowd immediately went crazy including us xD

After much screaming, shouting, encoring, and dancing, the night has finally come to an end.

Poor baby (Janice) because she was feeling dizzy halfway through the concert. Probably due to the 2 pints of Guinness (I didn't feel like drinking so I gave her mine after taking a few sips) plus her craziness (screaming and dancing) plus the crowded place. Indeed, these kinda crowded concerts tend to make people feel dizzy. On our way out, we saw a man who fainted and some medics were assisting him ._.

Fuiyoh, Kok Hong

Hah! I have a prove of Aaron bullying Janice xD Hahaha. It was a coincidence actually. She was only rubbing her eyes to ease her dizziness. Nothing whatsoever like what I mentioned earlier :P

Unlike most of them, we stayed until the very end. Mainly because baby was too dizzy to even make her way out of the place, so we decided to stay until she's feeling better. And it was a right choice because there were fireworks!

Okay, obviously those aren't fireworks ._. The real fireworks are here !

Some shots before we left :))

Shit! My fat, dual-toned arms! ._.

My baby! ♥

& that's the end of Arthur's Day! Wonder why they don't call it Arthur's Night instead since the celebration is during the nighttime, but then Arthur's Night sounds way weirder than Day ._.

'Twas indeed a tiring yet fun and crazy night for me. Glad that baby Janice enjoyed the night as well despite her dizziness :P

And as expected, heavy traffic at the exit of the place again as everyone was leaving ._. Sat in the car for a while before starting our journey back. Went over to In-House cafe with them for supper! It's so convenient having a 24-hours cafe opened nearby my house. Can go for supper/late dinner anytime but of course, I don't usually do that because it's so fattening to eat after 8pm loh :P

Baby's XO Fried Rice

Sunny side up

Bf's pork burger. Ohmy, got addicted to it right after my first bite!

And that sums up our night!

Me? Tutoring? Hmm.....

2011-09-28T12:49:00.000+08:00

As always, the first thing I'd do when I got up from my bed is head to the laptop, sit down on the chair and on my lappie. My usual routine has always been like this, and the first webpage I'd go to is obviously none other than Facebook. Checked the notifications, checked the news feed and realised there are some updates in my college page - DHM.

Then only I realised that I was supposed to go college by 10am today for some important discussion with our lecturer and a few other students. Since I've missed the meeting, Kellie im-ed me and told me a good news.

We're being appointed as tutors for our course!!!

O___O!

Okay, I'm not sure myself if that's a good news to me or not. True, I feel honored and proud for having given that post to me but on the other hand, I'm also worried because I'm quite sure I can't be a good tutor. True enough that we're given this post due to our outstanding results, then again, I'm quite sure that all that I've studied over the year has been forgotten right after each exams. Typical of me.

But the best thing about this is that we're being paid for this post too! I don't mind the extra income but really, I've no confidence in myself that I can be a good tutor :(

Oh and another good news regarding my academic is that I'm invited to the Academic Awards Presentation Ceremony!

'INTI International College Subang (IICS) would like to congratulate you on your success which comes through your unwavering quest for academic excellence.'

And I'll be getting two awards! Fantastic or what?! It's going to be my first time receiving an academic awards! Or any awards for that matter. So yes, I've invited my mummy and bf to attend for my special celebration day! :D

Can't wait for the day to come but first thing first, I need to look for a nice formal clothes. Kekeke.

Early Halloween !

2011-09-20T19:52:00.001+08:00

Remember my father's Japanese friend, Kato-san who gave me a souvenir last time?
Probably not but anyway, he just came to Malaysia from Japan again not long ago and guess what?

He got me a gift again! For absolutely no reason, as always. Awww how nice of him!

Beautifully wrapped in pink paper.

I could tell it was a soft toy by the touch of it. He knows I love soft toys a lot, that's why he always buy soft toys for me. But somehow I'm running out of space to keep 'em ^^" Anyhow, no worries! I'm the kind of person that appreciates a gift given to me no matter what it is. Which is why I never really throw any souvenirs/gifts/presents that I received, especially soft toys. Those who have seen my room have commented that I have way too many soft toys and that they take up most of the space on my bed. But really, I don't recalling myself buying a soft toy on my own before. I can say that 99% of them were given to me either as gifts or birthday presents or donation. LOL. Donation huh :P

Anyway, lets see what's inside the beautiful pink wrapper!

A pumpkin!

Wait.. that's not all. It comes with this as well!

A decorative item that says "Trick or Treat".

Very Halloween feel, no?

It was my very first time getting something in conjunction with Halloween. I'm not a person who celebrates this day because I can't stand scary/freaky masks/looks/make-ups. Especially when they pretend to be ghost or some sort. I get freaked out, like how I got so freaked out that I cried a little in Genting because there was this guy who cosplayed for the haunted house came following me like some creepy man. Seriously, I was so scared that I hid behind my friends and soon I found myself having watery eyes. Tsk tsk tsk. So pai seh.

Anyway, enough of my embarrassing moment. Although I don't celebrate and I don't like Halloween day, but at least this soft toy is so cute!

I love receiving gifts for no apparent reason at all :DD

Makes me feel so loved and pampered. Kekeke :P

Arigatou Gozaimasu, Kato-san !

Homemade Korean Food

2011-09-20T02:29:00.000+08:00

Since I have an off day on every Wednesday, I decided to stay home and prepare dinner for mummy and bf last week :)) Instead of waking up at the usual time which is after the sun has risen up high in the sky, I set the alarm to wake me up at 11am. Yes, waking up early on an off day just to finish up the needed preparations for dinner. Feeling so much like a housewife, fuhhh.

So anyway, it was a really simple dinner prepared by me. I say simple because instead of making the sauces on my own, I used the ready made sauces which I bought in a Korean supermarket in Ampang with JJY. I've tried her mom's sauces a few times before and they taste superbly awesome, but it's quite complicated if I were to make the sauce on my own. So yes, decided to get the ready made one instead. Of course it wouldn't be as nice as the homemade by JJY's mom, but still, something close to it will do for now. Kekeke.

There wasn't much preparations that needed to be done. Just chopping garlic and slicing onions and then marinating the pork and chicken in their respective sauces.

These are the two ready made sauces that I used :D

Black sauce is for Beef Bulgogi while the red sauce is for Pork Bulgogi

However, I made pork with Beef Bulgogi sauce and chicken with Pork Bulgogi sauce.

Very easy! I marinated them with the sauce along with garlic and onions only.

Later at night, we had a really late dinner as the bf came home late due to OT. Started cooking dinner while he was on his way back so that the foods will be ready by the time he reaches home. But who knew it took longer time than expected for cooking these. Kekeke.

Shouldn't have bought this part of pork as it's full of fats

Made the chicken burnt a lil on purpose :P

It was indeed delicious. Glad both mummy and the bf liked it (;

Shall think of other ways to make full use of the sauces :DD

Oh yes, sorry for the lack of updates. Has been busy lately (don't know busy with what though :X) and I just came back from a 3D2N trip at Golden Palm Tree, Sepang with my family and relatives. Took tonnes of pictures and I shall update about the trip after I've filtered and modify and beautify and sexify the pictures (a phrase learned from my friend -_-). Which I don't know when, so no promises! But 'twas a really nice trip I must say.

My 1st DSLR, Canon 600D !

2011-09-11T03:58:00.000+08:00

Finally I've gotten my long-awaited baby!
Been waiting for it like since forever, and finally mummy decided to get it for me.
Reason was because 'I've been a good girl lately." yay!
Got it on Wednesday night, the 7th of September.
Went to a shop in Pudu Plaza that was recommended by my uncle.

At first we had a hard time looking for the shop because we were told that the shop is located at the main entrance, but we went to the wrong entrance. So whilst on the way to look for this said shop, we saw another shop selling DSLRs too. Went in and asked for the price. It was quite the cheap, but they don't have ready stock at that moment. Both the sellers were quite action and cocky, as though they didn't wanna do our business at all. They even said "We have the best price. You can go around surveying for prices first if you want." Pft.

Found the said shop in the end and the uncle was much much friendlier than the two younger sellers earlier. The uncle even taught us many things and explained things for us. True enough, the price might be a little higher than the earlier shop but heck, those two were so cocky, why should we buy from them even though they have 'best' prices? They don't even provide the necessary services to us like this friendly uncle. Prices aren't the most important. To us, service is even more important than price. So what if we buy at a lower price but had to face with cocky sellers? I'd rather pay a little more to have a friendly seller that explains everything in details.

Anyways, after spending quite some time there, finally we got my DSLR. My very first DSLR! Woohoo! Bought the longer lens than the very basic one, 18mm - 135mm. And you know what's the best thing? We went home with the camera without paying. LOL. Because mummy did not bring her cheque book and so much cash, she wanted to pay with credit card. But the uncle rejected because he kept saying "2% of the money goes to bank only, not me also. Why let the bank earn? Don't use credit card!" At first mummy kept insisting on paying with credit card, but in the end she gave in ^^"

Funny right? Where got seller ask customer not to pay but take the goods back first? According to him, we all look nice and innocent and that he trusts we wouldn't do such things like running away with the goods without paying. Haha! So yeap, we went back with the goods without paying. Felt like it was a free gift, just that mummy had to pay the next day. Hahaha.

I still haven't buy the UV Filter for the lens, so I have to be very careful with the lens in case of any scratches :(

After charging the battery for 3 hours, the camera was good to go! And this is the first picture taken by my baby. Both baby DSLR and baby bf :P

My dying roses, which is dead by now :(

My ~~babies~~ baby camwhoring :P

However, there's a huge disadvantage for me with the long lens. Which is........ I CANNOT CAMWHORE WITH IT! :( Because the lens are so long but my hands are super short. Pft.

Hence the blur picture below.

Could be a nice picture if it weren't for the blurness T_T

Besides that, with longer lens it also means heavier. Trust me, I held the camera for a few minutes trying to camwhore with the bf and I can already feel my hand muscles. But then I'm starting to get the hang of it so I don't really feel it's that heavy anymore ^^

And here is the only clear camwhore picture, after waiting for like don't know how long for the lens to auto-focus on our faces. That's why I said my hands are so so so tired :( And so coincident both the times that we got a successful camwhore shots, they were with me talking and smiling together. Hence the expression -_-

I think I'm already getting used to the camera. My best model is always Belle, followed by Bunny. Kekeke. I just love shooting them, but Bunny is a bit hard since he can't possibly be trained to sit and stay like Belle ^^"

Speaking of which, Belle is taking her exam later in the evening! Gosh, hope she passes with flying colours. She's very good at home with the training but once she's at the training ground, she gets all excited and jumpy as there are many other dogs. Sigh. Hope she'll perform well tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed!

And after this Sunday, mummy and daddy can finally rest on every Sundays since there will be no more classes unless if I decided to send her for the second level. Still considering though. But for now, it's just about her exam!

Looking at me wondering "what's the weird, huge, black thing that mummy uses to point at me?" Kekeke.

random rants

2011-09-07T16:30:00.001+08:00

Warning: Super wordy post ahead.

i think something's not very right with me.
wait, correction. let me rephrase that.
something must be seriously wrong with me.
i can't seem to find any concentration in anything i do.
even in college, to be honest, i'm still a total blur as to what are we learning this sem.
it's 2nd week (or 3rd? i don't even remember) already and it's like i still learned nothing.
getting worried and afraid for/of myself especially when i drive.
because i notice that even when i drive, my mind wanders off somewhere.
but the thing is, it wanders to nowhere.
weird? yeah.
it's like my mind is there, but at the same time it isn't there.
while driving today, i found myself moving into the next lane slowly without noticing..
luckily there weren't many cars at that time.
feeling light-headed as though i'm gonna faint anytime anywhere.
dizziness. nausea.
losing focus in everything i do.
it's like i'm just carrying an empty shell with me without any soul.

and when i came home today and saw the notice on my gate stating that the house is on sale, i broke down.
i cried. feeling upset and anger.
how many times more in my life to i have to keep moving house?
i'm so tired of all these.
keep moving houses each time after settling for a few years.
seriously, it's no fun at all.
having to pack everything and move to a new environment.
worst thing is, if we move to a condo like what mom intended to, what were to happen to Belle?
must i give up on her? no, i wouldn't want to.
i've lost my dearest dog once before, and i didn't even get to see him for the last time.
i don't want to lose anything that is dear to me anymore.
and now i can just pray that no one would buy this house for the time being.

all of a sudden, i just feel like i've lost my aim in life.
wait, there wasn't any aim to begin with.
i just feel... aimless. hopeless. helpless.

disappointed and upset at how corrupted and sick the world is.
the people inhabiting the earth.
raping, killing, robbing, abusing, animals cruelty etc.
the latest news on animals cruelty breaks my heart.
i'm sure many of you have heard about the Petknode case.
in case you haven't, let me summarize it for you.

Petknode is a so-called boarding place where you could keep your cats there when you're out of town for holidays or whatever reason. after receiving all the clients' pets and money, the two operators did not fulfill their jobs and responsibilities at all, as what they said they'll do in the agreement. they were missing during the whole duration of raya break, which means the pets there were starved and dehydrated with no foods, no drinks and no space to roam around as they were mostly kept in cages/carriers. some of the cats including kittens were starved to death, most of the survivals were covered in pee and poo and they were as thin as sticks that their ribcage can even be seen.

seriously, what were these assholes thinking? sacrificing lives of creatures that way.

you can read more on the news at here, here, here, here, and here.
it's really devastating, and reading and looking at those pictures really break my heart into pieces.
in some photos you can even see some newborn kittens, of which some died.
you can also read about the follow-ups regarding the event on this FB page.
and also, sign this petition for Petknode's punishment please.
they deserve to rot in hell.
if it's true that justice exists, i hope they'll rot in hell later on.

at least it's glad to know that there are still many kind and helpful people out there who helped foster the cats in the absence of their owners. they've done a great job and they deserved to be praised.

Irrelevant picture I know, but they're so adorable no?

i think this is one of my most wordy posts in history O_O

Furry Friends & Miscellaneous

2011-09-04T22:28:00.001+08:00

Warning: Picture heavy post, but no worries. Most of the pictures are of pets, as said in the title :P

On the eve of Merdeka, Belle has made 2 new friends. My aunt brought her Pomeranian over in the morning for me to foster as her family went on vacation. His name is Cutie. Funny thing was, Belle dashed out of the gate as per usual when my brother opened the gate for my aunt to come in. I couldn't be bothered much anymore because it's always useless trying to get her to come back. So yes, after my aunt left, I closed the gate and played with Cutie.

Super furry can! Damn cute!

As usual, Belle ran up and down the hill. But what unusual this time was that she saw an unfamiliar figure in the house. In her house. She stopped running up and down but stayed outside the gate and barked for me to open the door for her to come in. The moment she came in, she barked at Cutie. Until Cutie couldn't take it anymore, he started barking at her as well. HAHA. And I was playing mad at her so I ignored her and played with Cutie instead. Immediately she went over to the bf and manja him instead. LOL.

How rude. Didn't even give the guest a warm welcome. Tsk tsk.

FURBALL!

And it's proven that Belle gets jealous too. Everytime I sit down and called out for Cutie, Belle would come instead, disallowing Cutie to come near me. Aww. It's the first time I've seen this side of her because she's always very friendly and playful with her friends in training ground. Maybe because this time she sees another dog in her home :P

There there, settled down and beginning to make friends already :DD

Idk why but clearly Belle had been digging a hole in the garden. Looking for gold maybe?

This is what Belle normally does when my mom or the bf waters the plant. She likes to follow them around and drink water from there instead -_-;;

Getting bolder and bolder eh Belle? xD

Cutie misses home... ):

She likes to drink from this plant especially. Maybe it tastes sweeter there. Heh.

Emo Cutie ;(

So 'fa hiao'. Trying to seduce Cutie ah?

Later in the noon, the bf and I went to Petsmore in Taman Connaught to look for rabbit. There weren't any particular rabbits that caught our eyes, so we went to the newly opened shop in Maluri. They have more rabbits there and one particular furry thing caught our attention.

It's this fella.

His colour is quite the unique. A little greyish but looks white overall. But when comes in contact with water, his fur turns dirty grey but returns to white when dried off. His colour makes him looks like he's very dirty, hence the bf likes to call him 'dirty rabbit.'

His name is Bunny, because I am so bad at giving names like that pft. Wanted to name him Beau (handsome for French, since Belle means beautiful in French) but the pronunciation isn't nice at all. It sounds like "bou". And I wanted something to start with a 'B', hence Bunny. Not the best name but oh wells, I admit that I really suck at giving names :(

And so, my house had 3 pets for that time being. Such cuties.

Pet no.1 - Belle

Pet no.2 - Cutie

Pet no.3 - Bunny

Oh wait. This is Pet no.4 - NCY. HAHAHA joking :P

Bunny exploring new home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On Merdeka day.

Dandelion

Morning kiss for the bf :P

& morning kiss for Bunny. Kekeke.

Let Bunny out of his cage for him to hop around and eat grass. He eats a lot!

Went for lunch with the bf, his brother NCK, Siew Wei, Keng Sein and Yi Shan at Uncle Jang. Finally had the chance to bring them there :D

Later on, went to Pavilion with the bf and NCK to watch Overheard 2 and right after the movie at 9 something, we walked all the way to Jalan Alor for dinner/supper.

They even have menu! O.o Normally I go to these kinda food stalls, they don't provide menu and you have to go from stall to stall to order. But this, they even take orders for you lor!

Stingray with er.... forgotwhatsauce. RM15

O-jian, RM15. Damn not worth it :(

SIU KAI YIK ! Superbbb :D

Kum Heong Lala :D

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A brand new month arrived! Kicked start our month with Sakae Sushi :D

A must-order when I visit any Japanese restaurant but sadly, this is a huge disappointment. Not fresh at all. Even the small Japanese restaurant located opposite the Hello Kitty shop in Leisure Mall serves better sashimi T_T

This is definitely thumbs-up! Love this a lot :D Soft shell crab crepe.

Couldn't remember the names of the both dishes above but both are delicious! Especially the one below, superbly, amazingly, surprisingly delicious. Never knew Sakae Sushi has potential like this, heh. Whoops :P That's by far my best dish in Sakae Sushi now <3

Can't stop admiring my nails. Kekeke :P So proud because everyone says it's pretty, to the extent that some of the guys didn't believe I did it myself -.- Pft.

Didn't do anything much that day other than eating out for brunch, grocery shopping and went home to play with our furry friends.

Damn like this picture. Have the exact pose in Polaroid. Hohoho.

Eyeing on Bunny.

Looking at Bunny. Somewhere deep in the grass xD

My two lovelies ♥

Bunny killed Belle xD

Looking dirty after being rubbed by Belle with her nose.

My pretty lady ♥

Later at night, I made fried rice for the first time. And I dare to admit that it wasn't bad at all for first timer. Hohoho :P

The crisps on top are burnt rice that I scratched from the wok. People who know me well will know how much I love burnt rice :P Hohoho. The bf says I must be from a very poor family in my past life because they say poor people had no choice but to eat burnt rice last time.

And well, that summed up my 3 days holidays with the bf as he resumed working on the 2nd of September :((

Oh btw, I finally learned how to use Photoshop from the bf. But I only know two ways of editing photos, as shown in the photos above. All of them are edited by me except maybe 1 or 2. Hehehe :P

V1 Concept Bar & Restaurant

2011-08-31T23:58:00.001+08:00

So, 2 days after my anniversary, I went to V1 restaurant again. This time I brought my friends along because I know they'd love the place. One thing about me is that I love sharing good foods and places with my friends. Maybe because I love sharing my joy with them

The initial plan consisted of more people, including the juniors and Mr. Gobein, but Jayden told me they couldn't make it hence the cancellation of plan. Told the bf that the plan is canceled but he insisted we go on with it, plus Adrian and Kevin were very keen on going as well. So yes, plan resumed after I successfully persuade JJY to go.

As usual, the bf has to play the role as a driver ^^" Went to fetch JJY in Ampang and then went to Subang to pick Adrian and Kevin up. And then, once we reached DHM house, JJY and I went upstairs to look for Chew and Jayden. After some persuasion, they finally agreed to go. Yay! ^^

Reached V1 and I was shocked at the number of customers there. It was practically full house, therefore we had to wait for at least half an hour in order to get a table for 7. No choice but to wait, although I was very hungry at that time. And I feel bad for having them to wait as well :(

So, here's a kind reminder to those who wish to dine there especially during the weekends. Make reservations in advance but then again, reservations are only available for a group of 6 pax and more.

& so, we did what we do best when waiting.

The bored faces .

The retard face :P

So after what seemed like forever, we finally managed to go in and get a seat.

Obviously this picture and the one above were taken during our anniversary, hence the emptiness.

Honk if you love me :P

Ice Lemon Tea & Homemade Lemonade. The latter was quite tasteless; not good, not good.

The picture below might hurt your eyes so.... don't say I never warn you xP

OMGWTFBBQ O.O !!

Okay, that's Kevin Francis Perera (though I prefer calling him Perara) for you.

With Adrian Lau Chee Kin

And here comes the epic part. In the midst of waiting for the arrival of our foods, the bf excused himself to the washroom. But who knew, his going-to-the-washroom returned with a bouquet of roses in his hand. I was busy talking with my friends that I didn't notice a single thing until he tapped my head for me to turn towards him and when I did, I was practically stunned.

I looked at him, then at the bouquet of roses, and turned back to my friends asking them what is that. Gosh, I know, my reaction was a little stupid but the bf really caught me by surprise. I don't know then what reaction was I supposed to give, until my friends told me to stand up and accept the flower. And I'm not the kind that feels comfortable with so many people paying attention to me (my friends and probably people from other tables as well), so I blushed and felt very hot that time. Oh my my my.

♥♥♥

Me looking happy with my roses ^^

The impostor -.-;; But they look sweeter than me, that's for sure. HAHA.

I was really surprised because I did not figure it that the bf would compensate for his 'mistake' on anniversary. On that night itself we did talk and I told him it's the lack of flowers that made me disappointed. He asked if he can undo the mistake but I told him that there isn't a need to. It's alright. But little did I know, it isn't alright to him at all. Hence the surprise.

No wonder the bf and Adrian kept insisting that we shall go have dinner at V1 ourselves even when the rest canceled out on us. The bf because he has arranged for the florist to send the flowers there by 7pm, and Adrian because apparently the bf told him about the plan

Thank you my love

Clearly I've underestimated his capability to surprise me ^^"

So after all the hoohaa, foods have finally arrived!

Must order this Nachos even though I can't take the spicy beef :P RM18, not worth it IMO. Buy a pack of Nachos even better ^^"

But now I prefer this Mash Potatoes. Another must order for me! RM6 - Okay la, quite the big portion. The steaks have this as side dish as well.

House Sandwich, RM15. Didn't really try it but I think it's not bad ;)

Margaritta Pizza, RM19.90

Pepperoni Pizza, RM21.90

I prefer the Margaritta Pizza though :D

Grill Lamb Shoulder, RM45. Omg love this!

Honey Lemon Chicken, RM23.90. Love this as well!

Ribeye Steak with doneness of medium well. Very bad choice, because Kevin ended up chewing shoe sole instead. It's always a no-no for me to order anything other than medium rare for beef but then again, not everyone can accept it because it's still quite raw. But I've been eating only medium rare beef steak ever since young and I love it. Yum yum ♥ RM35.90, which is about the normal price with any other restaurants out there I think.

My Fettuccini Carbonara with Yakitori Beef, RM25. You can choose the sauce and accompaniment but the prices vary. Love it because it has so much sauce! Almost wanted to drink the whole plate but then my stomach capacity was almost at full level ^^"

A must to bring them to visit the washroom ;P

2 happy kids driving in the washroom? Lol. Quote Kevin, "Funny and I always thought the exhaust of a car are always behind the car not in front.." HAHA.

The closed ones <3

Warning : Picture below is strictly for 18 and above only !

Ohmyholymama !! O___O !

My love :)

And that concludes our dinner. I was happy that my friends enjoyed it, but also feels sorry for some of them who think the foods are very expensive and didn't even order a main course and drinks. I know for sure that I did enjoy the night, but not sure if everyone else did :(

Anyway, I shall end my post with some pictures of my lovely flowers, both from my love

This was given on Valentine's. More practical IMO because it doesn't wither at all, unlike roses. But then again, all girls would love to receive real flowers from their other halves, no? ^^"

The 2 flowers from my love. Of course, I liked the roses more but then it's withering already ;(

sometimes i watch him silently and think to myself, i'm very lucky to have him and i'm the luckiest girl on earth.

Scrapbook for the ♥

2011-08-29T17:22:00.001+08:00

Of course, I'm not gonna post all the pages here, just the ones that I really like. Kekeke :P

My initial idea was just pasting the photos and writing the details, but then Annie gave me several creative ideas. And that was when I thought to myself, "Damn, compare to her ideas, mine was like so dull and boring." Well, that's the difference between a person with creativity and without. So yup, after listening to her ideas, suddenly I feel that I wanted to do more than just simple pasting and writing.

True enough, the bf was very happy when he received it. He just simply browsed through the album in the restaurant, but when we got home, he sat down on the bed and went through each page thoroughly. He told me that he was very touched at what I've done, and that the album brought back many memories to him. He was so surprised and so touched that he cried. And most importantly, he underestimated my capability to do things like that :P Wouldn't blame him though, because even I myself was surprised and to be honest, I liked the album a lot too. Yes, shamelessly self-praising myself here :P

Okay so these two have the same concept but just to make it looks more creative, I wrote 'Pull' for one and 'Slide' for another :P

Pop-up. I finally understood the concept of it ^^"

This one can really use up to a few pages. Smart way to waste the pages if you don't have a lot of photos

1st and 2nd page

3rd and 4th

5th and 6th

It was quite a last minute job, seeing I only started doing it on Monday when our anniversary was on Thursday. Hence the rush and 'cincai' work. I was afraid I might not even finish in time and was already planning to give it to him as a belated gift, but who knew I managed to finish it on Wednesday. So yeah, not really a lot of patterns in the album.

And I hope we'll take more pictures to fill in the album in the future

Hopefully now you have more ideas to make a scrapbook for your loved ones (;

Happy Anniversary, My Love ♥

2011-08-26T23:50:00.229+08:00

Yesterday marked my first anniversary with the bf, Ng Chun Yang ♥

Happy that my first love lasted so long. Kekeke.

Came back from the college, rested a while before getting ready for our dinner. He brought me to a place I've never been before, V1 in Puchong. True enough, the place is very unique and I liked it. Pictures below, stories later on :))

Camwhored for a bit before leaving :P

Otw for dinner (:

V1 Concept Bar & Restaurant! Indeed, very special. The first cafe with this kind of concept. Wait till you see the interior!

The seats. Must have spent a lot on the seats itself. No wonder they don't have many tables D: Can even adjust them!

First thing that impressed me - their menu and order taking with Ipads! So high-tech!

You can even choose the condiments & doneness of the steak :)

* Once you've decided your orders, honk this and their waitress will come to you! Quite the tempting to play with it though.

And here comes the foods !

Nachos with spicy minced beef. Love nachos but the beef is too spicy even for the bf , nvm me :(

The bf's grilled salmon. Superb !

My medium rare rib-eye steak. Not too bad ;)

Second thing that impressed me - their washroom.

Stering and exhaust pipe. They even have the pedal for the soap! :DD Bad idea though 'cos people like me will keep pressing on the pedal and wasting the soap instead :P

* Not many cafes where you can see waitress wearing like this. Sporty, but IMHO, they'd look better with sport shoes though. And I think guys would drool over them AHAHA.

His gift for me ♥

Lovely bracelet :) Been wanting to find a simple yet nice bracelet for quite some time.

With and without :DD

And this is what I made for him :)

Another post will be dedicated for the making of this scrapbook (;

I was happy and appreciated his effort for going to the place beforehand on Monday so that he wouldn't get lost last night (his sense in direction is as bad as me :P) and also to test the food. 'Twas a happy dinner, but to be honest, I was quite disappointed as well. Maybe we have different perspective of how an anniversary dinner would be. To me, I'd wish it to be a romantic fine dining dinner with bouquet of flowers. Although V1 is a nice place, but to me it wasn't a suitable place for anniversary. Plus, I did not receive any flowers

Shameless me tried hinting him about flowers after dinner, but as usual, he doesn't get hints at all.

Came home right after dinner which was at 9 something. It didn't feel like a special day; more like any other casual dinners that we normally have.

The next day, which is today, I thought for long whilst driving to college. And then realization dawned upon me. It doesn't matter if the dinner wasn't anything special, because everyday of our lives together is special. It doesn't matter if he didn't give me bouquet of flowers making me feel like I'm the luckiest girl on Earth, because I am already the luckiest girl by just having him. True enough that he isn't a guy of romance and the guy of my dream, but he's the one for me. For a year now, he's been able to keep up with my bad temper, my ill-treatments to him, my never ending demands and he just accepts everything about me.

I know how bad of a person I am. I go clubbing, I drink, I don't really keep a distance between myself and my guy friends, I'd just give him the silent treatment for nothing when I am in a bad mood and the innocent him would not know what's happened, and I.... *draws in a deep breath* ... kind of cheated on him not once but twice, both with the same guy (I confessed it to him though, so it wouldn't really count as cheating?). Which was why our relationship was quite on the edge at that time, but he forgave me entirely (twice!) and was even willing to wait for me to go back to his side.

My feelings for him were fading at that time and so, I didn't think it was touching at all. I just kept thinking and telling my friends what a stupid guy he was to do that, especially even after what I did to him. I wanted him to leave me, hence my very bad treatment towards him for a few weeks. But no, he did not leave at all. He stuck by me, he had been very patient with me and slowly, my feelings for him gradually grows back.

I know, I was very stupid then. To be cheating on him with another guy. Maybe because he was too good for me, but also quite a boring guy for me (as I mentioned earlier, not a guy of romance), thus I wanted to mingle around for more options. And now I realized how wrong I was, because I know I'll never meet any guy better than him. Not in the sense of romance, but just himself. I couldn't think of any other guy who is so willing to do so much for me, who loves me so much to the extent that he forgave me for cheating on him twice, and who is always here with me.

& I finally realized that it doesn't matter even if he didn't plan the anniversary dinner up to my expectations. It's the efforts that matter. I have friends who were so lucky to receive big bouquets of flowers from their bfs on special occasions like Valentine's, birthday and/or anniversaries, but behind those happy, romantic stories that they tell everyone actually lies an ugly truth. Being ill-treated by their bfs, always get into a huge argument, playing break up games but eventually get back together for uncountable times, being asked by their bfs to change their bad habits etc.

I don't need a false romance like that. I don't need a guy who sweet talks me, who buys me expensive gifts for no reason, who gives me jaw-dropping surprises on special occasions but then having him ill-treat me. I just need a guy who accepts me for who I am and what I am. A guy who is able to accept all my flaws, waiting patiently for the day when I'd finally change myself and 'tame down.' Hence, I am also willing to accept his flaws. His poor command in English, his poor communication skills, his hopelessness in being romantic. Because in a relationship, there is always a give-and-take. I can't possibly want him to accept all my flaws but me complaining his flaws all the time.

It's been a year now. Time do fly. But the funny thing is that everyone else including us both felt that we've been together for a very long time. A few years maybe. But no, it's only a year. Heh

Honestly speaking, I've been happy with our relationship though there were some tough moments as well. Of course, which relationship is perfect right? But at least we do not get into heated arguments like what normally happen to other couples. Because of his patience, we've always been able to talk things out and sort them out together instead of yelling at each other

Therefore, I'd like to thank you for always being so patient with me and for accepting my flaws. Sorry that I've hurt you so many times and yet you still forgive me. Sorry for my bad temper and sudden cold treatment towards you.

This anniversary isn't what I expected but it's alright. There are still many years ahead for us to work hard together. I'm your first, so you wouldn't know how to celebrate occasions like this. It's okay, because I am happy that I'm your first and that you are willing to learn. There's always next year again, no? And next next year, next next next year and so on.

I love you, my one and only NCY ♥

Happy One Year to Us ♥♥

PS: All photos, except for the one I marked with an asterisk (*) are edited by him because he's a fussy guy who doesn't like lousy pictures. Must be the influence from his job

Pigster !

2011-08-23T01:01:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone, please meet my new creation named Pigster. The name was randomly given by Siew Wei intentionally. I wanted to draw a Poring as my monster but after putting the dark pink area in the face, it seemed more like a pig to me instead so I thought, why not just make it a cute piggy instead? Since you know, I suck in drawing so much that I can't even draw a simple Poring :(

So until I am finally able to draw a better, cuter creature, this Pigster shall be my monster ^^

This was what I wanted to draw actually, but phail big time I know :((

& no, my Pigster above is just for illustration purpose. She's smiling but that doesn't depict my current mood. Twas just an introduction to the birth of my Pigsterrrr ! :DD

2011-08-22T22:37:00.000+08:00

The drawing depicts my current mood. I think it's the first time I felt so emo and cried after so long. I don't even remember when was the last time I cried.

Anyways, I copy-cat the 'monster' from Siew Wei, as how she put it. You can see more of her cute lil monsters at her blog here. :P

So cute. Maybe I shall 'create' my own monster as well so I can use her to convey my mood each time I don't feel like writing much, but at the same time want to express myself. Kekeke.

A Mission Accomplished !

2011-08-17T14:43:00.001+08:00

& that mission was..... Getting Annie's super belated birthday present !

Her birthday was last month but because last month we were all busy with assignments and finals, we couldn't do much, plus we didn't know what she wanted at that time. As in what model phone she wants. Her phone was an old model of Nokia and it was kinda broken that she needed to use a rubber band to hold her phone together to prevent from falling apart. So then I thought, why not get her a new phone for her birthday?

Then the difficult part was to get everyone to share for the phone, although quite a few backed out. Pft. But never mind, we could still work out something. Initially I thought of getting a smart phone for her and our budget was actually RM600, but one day, in the midst of doing assignment in the resource center, she suddenly posted in FB about a phone she wants. Nokia C2-03. But that phone isn't released in Malaysia market yet so Ryan had a hard time finding out what other phones she wants.

And then, a month later, Ryan successfully found out two phones that she was considering. SE Zylo & SE Spiro. Seeing that Spiro has lesser functions, Ryan and I decided to get Zylo instead. & no one objected, so yes, the bf brought me to get the phone on Saturday. In the meanwhile, it was a good opportunity for us to go on a date as well since it's been quite long since I last went out to a shopping mall.

Before that, we had brunch at the new cafe nearby my house, In-House Cafe which opens 24 hours. Went there with mummy once but twas my first time with the bf there.

My cheese & tuna bread, which tasted normal but I liked it, but it was a bit the overpriced. RM6.90. I can easily make one myself at home with the cost lesser than RM2.00 -_-

Chocolate milk shake with ice-cream, RM6.90. Okay lah, normal also.

The bf's nasi lemak, which was a lil overpriced too. RM13.60 (if i'm not mistaken) for this plate of rice! Mad expensive or what.

But well, I quite like the fried chicken lah. Kekeke.

After we fulfilled our stomachs, off we went to Sungei Wang. Bought the phone and sat there to chit chat with his friend for a while before heading to Snowflakes for dessert. Then we went to catch a movie, Zookeeper. I rate it 4/10 because the storyline wasn't that good plus there were too little animals to be called a zoo ._. But a hilarious movie nonetheless.

Still had some time to walk around before the mall closes, so we decided to settle for EspresSOUP for a light dinner.

Chicken mushroom soup in bread, which wasn't that good. Not enough mushroom taste and the bread, yuck. Not nice :(

Croissant too big with very little fillings. Phail.

& this, is the present !

Wrapped by JJY. Looks like a milk carton don't you think? Kekeke.

So, after Glynnies had all of us to sign her handmade birthday card, we presented her the gift before the last class started.

She looks worried because the guys told her that something would jump out so be careful -.-

Almost there....

Tadaa!

She was so touched that she had to hide her face :P

Finally, we gave her her very belated birthday present. Glad she loves it :))

Oh before I end my post, here. My NOTM nicely and cutely done by JJY.

Mini polkadotssss.

Sushi Making

2011-08-13T01:18:00.001+08:00

A long overdue post which I wanted to update on the day itself, but because I didn't know how to make and upload .gif images, hence I put the post on hold and somehow, forgotten about it. Heh :P

I just remembered about it today, so I asked Jillian how to make and upload .gif image and as expected, she didn't let me down at all! She is sort of my 'go-to' girl because whenever I don't know anything, I'd go to her. She seems so knowledgeable and experienced in just about anything, especially things regarding cameras and blogs/Internet ^^ I've learned so much from you, Jillian. Thank you!

So anyway, on the 28th of April (see, super long overdue right!), Keng Sein, Siew Wei and I decided that we shall make sushi for dinner! Went grocery shopping before that but Leisure Mall doesn't have many Japanese ingredients, so we made another trip to Maluri Jusco since I used to get Japanese ingredients like Inari, Unagi, Salmon etc from there. But to our disappointment, the Japanese section was literally empty by the time we reached. Business very good I suppose :(

So yes, no choice but to make do with the limited choices of ingredients that we have.

Them busy preparing while I was busy with.................

Camwhoring and taking pictures. HAHA. No lah, I helped out too kay :P

Tunaaaaaaaaaaaaa

While Siew Wei was so hardworking, look what is Keng Sein doing instead.

Watching drama LOL.

And now, let's take a look at our own made products. Kekeke.

Assorted sushi.

Fish roe sushi

The one on the left is Keng Sein's creative product with a mixture of... I don't remember what, whereas the one on the right is the traditional Tuna sushi :P

Our own made so-called Tamago sushi :P

Onigiri ! From left Siew Wei's, Keng Sein's and mine. We're so the creative no? :P

Hi, want some sushi? ^^

Looks very the messy and ugly I know. Sorry la, janji sedap sudah boleh kan? Looks ugly nvm :P

At first we thought we wouldn't have enough, but who knows, turned out that we made a lot more than enough. Seems like we've overestimated our stomach capacity. Kekeke. So, Siew Wei and I ended up bringing some back home. Just nice for the bf's dinner. I'm such a sweet gf I know :P

And for 'dessert', we had some of these !

Oh M&Ms.

And these are the two gif images I made, which makes me laugh whenever I look at them. LOL.

I'm getting higher and higher whereas Keng Sein is leaning backwards, and Siew Wei stays somewhat the same :P

& this, confirm you'll laugh :D

I've no idea what was she trying to do, but maybe she did it on purpose since she knew I was taking continuous shots of her :P

PS: Keng Sein, if you ever see this, please don't kill me. You know I love you ^^ MUACKS ! :P

Oh how much I miss the sushi that we made. Must have another of this session again!

My brunch! :D Ran out of garlic butter spread and haven't restocked on that yet, hence the peanut chocolate spread.

Btw, I've been getting my baguette from Delifrance, but not anymore! I must say that I am so very disappointed that the quality of Delifrance is deteriorating day by day. I used to love Delifrance back then when I was young, especially their tuna croissant and also their baguette.

After a few years of not having Delifrance regularly, recently I made a few visits back to the Delifrance in Leisure Mall just to get their baguette to make our own garlic bread. The first time I went to get it, I was shocked to see that their baguette has shrunk in size. Like, really shrunk a lot. And it's RM3.70 for one! Mad expensive or what? Mummy says it was super cheap last time. But yalah I know, everything has also increased in price but hello, at least maintain the quality a bit can. Sigh.

Until a few days ago when mummy and I went to the quite-famous Tong Kee (TK) bread store, we saw some baguette so immediately mummy bought 2. Not only was it cheaper than Delifrance (by RM1 each), but TK's baguette is also bigger in size than that of Delifrance's. At least those look like a baguette. I don't know what Delifrance's one looks like. More like a stick of bread to me. Puhhh.

& after putting in the oven for I-don't-know-how-long-because-I-just-take-out-when-I-think-it's-right, they turned out so crispy! Something that I cannot achieve with Delifrance's baguette.

If it weren't for Yoga classes, I wouldn't even eat anything until night time. But after my horror experience of almost fainting for not eating before doing vigorous sports, I started making an effort of eating something before I do vigorous sports :( Okay la, not that Yoga is a vigorous sports but still, better to fill my stomach than gong with an empty stomach, no? :D

It's Back !

Yes, like finally ! My baby Saga is back ! If you remember what happened to the poor girl in June. The sleepyhead me got into an accident which caused quite a big damage. But still, I don't know why did the Proton company took so long to fix my baby, seeing that it's been more than a month now. Oh wells, whatever. Glad to have her back because then it means bidding goodbye to the inconveniences of not having a car to go wherever I want :DD

This side looks brand new, but the other side looks old :( Imbalance dy.

My poor keychain. From pink became black -___-;; Sudah lama tak mandi ni.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cooked dinner again last night, this time having the father and his friend, Kato-san over for dinner. Gosh, feeling so much like a housewife now D:

I like the colour of it. Purple, green, orange. Heehee.

Quite phail egg because it doesn't look nice at all. Couldn't flip it in one piece :(

Smoked baked salmon from US.

Sunny-side up by the bf.

Jeng jeng jeng! Been trying to master my favourite minced pork with potato dish, and I think I did it last night. Instead of using the traditional Chinese method in which they add in Oyster sauce and another kind of sauce, I cooked it with the Korean Bulgogi sauce. Kekeke. Taste sweet :P

Glad that Kato-san enjoyed his dinner over. Could see that he loves the minced pork with potato very much. Kekeke. It's time like this that makes me happy, seeing people happily eating my own cooked foods. Kinda give me encouragement to keep on cooking :))

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Did mask with the bf last night. I know right, so vainpot the both of us. That was my second time doing mask because honestly, I don't really like the idea of lying down on the bed doing nothing but waiting for the time to tick by. Feels as though I'm wasting time doing like that. The first time I did was because I had to lie down for the bf to blow dry my hair, so he suggested why not I use the mask. But last night, the bf wanted to try out the mask as well so yes, after he blow dry my hair, we both lied down on the bed with masks on our faces, doing nothing but listening to music.

& that was when I realised I am not a person to do mask because I kept wanting to get up from bed, feeling as though I'm wasting a lot of time just lying down there doing nothing. Gosh, I feel so much like those superbly busy lady who doesn't even have time for herself. If it weren't for the masks mummy gave, I don't think I'd ever buy a mask. But I did, actually, after trying the mask mummy gave.

& it was mainly because the salesgirl kept pestering me to buy more things when all I wanted was just an eyeliner. So yah, just buy a cheap cheap packet of mask lah pft.

So... here, don't get too frightened kay :P

Me doing the mask from Sasa whereas the bf with the mask that mummy gave.

& I shall end this post with.......

no, not a picture of myself. But my notti and hyperactive yet adorable and smart Belle :)

BBQ at Darren's

2011-08-08T17:24:00.000+08:00

So, we went prawn fishing again last Friday with the usual peeps, minus Angelyn and SK but with the bf this time. Darren asked for a big worm bait and so we get this.

Super geli can! The worm is freaking long and it doesn't die no matter how we cut it. Well, apparently worms don't die that easily. No matter how many times you cut them, they still ~~come back~~ stay alive. Even after cutting into tiny pieces, the tiny pieces still manage to wiggle around. Geli or nor?! Omg I cannot tahan. The bf even dared to hold the worm for Bitto to cut. And Bitto isn't afraid of worms also. Pft T_T

Anyway, we caught plentiful of prawns that night! Them, mainly, because I only managed to catch one miserable prawn. Noob :(

Darren feeling proud because he finally dared to hold the prawn :D

Right after Bitto took picture, her prawn fell on the ground flat.

Looking for prawns. Trust me, Mugen is really good at this! He caught most of his prawns with bare hands instead of using rod. I think he haz cat hands meow :3

So they restocked the prawns from here. I wonder what happens if they run out of prawns? Or they have more hidden somewhere hmmm....

We wanted to BBQ the prawns there on the spot, but they ran out of charcoal pft. So yup, no choice but to bring back the prawns.

30 prawns and not even 1kg. There was only 0.7kg D:

What surprised me was that... I didn't know the bf can prawn fish so well! I was speechless as I see him kept getting prawns whereas I couldn't get any. What more it was his first time. I feel so noob pft :(

I brought the prawns home and we planned a small BBQ at either Darren's place or mine. It was a really last minute thing, hence the rush. The next day, which was on Saturday, the bf and I went looking for some cheap BBQ pits and charcoal, but lousy Tesco don't even have charcoal. So yup, in the end we resorted to using the electrical BBQ pit from my house.

Funny thing is, Darren has the BBQ equipment but not the pit, whereas I have the pit but not the equipment -_- What a nice combination. Hahaha.

& look at the amount of food we prepared! A little too much that we couldn't finish all :3

The chicken on top left is marinated in the Korean sauce that was supposedly used for Bulgogi, whereas the chicken on top right is marinated in honey + soy sauce; bottom left is my favourite oyster mushroom and bottom right is the prawns we caught :3

Bottom right is the hama ham that mummy brought back from US. Too salty for my liking, but Darren's family loves it a lot :)

Errr... prawn with bread?

Prawn oh prawn, why you so yummy?

Ready to be eaten! Oh my, the prawns are heavenly. Juicy and sweet omg.

Ran out of butter garlic spread and so, Darren suggested we use Nutella. Not bad too :3

Super bloated from dinner but oh my, it was so delicious. And I'm missing those foods already. Must, must, must organize another mini BBQ again! :D

Good foods + good companionship = Bliss

Oh by the way, let's meet Darren's new family member! Presenting you............

LV (yes, pronounced as ELVEE, the brand) the Maltese!

She's so manja I laik! Kekeke.

Looking at those foods pictures is making me hungry :((
