Message In A Bottle

幸福车站

2012-01-29T13:29:00.001+08:00

幸福车站。。。

这首歌很有意思。。。每个人都想找个自己的另一半。。。我也不却。。。一直在寻找自己的幸福。。。自己的那一男人。。。自己未来的家。。。

我到今天，停留在很多很多车站了。。。但是一个一个都不是我的幸福。。。

能带给我快乐的，却不是我要的男生。。。
是我要的男生，却给不到我幸福。。。
能给到我一个房子的，却给不到我一个家。。。

最近我坐上一驾车。。。不是个白马王子的车。。。
只是一驾很普遍的车。坐的很舒服，很快乐。。。

这是否是我的幸福吗？我也不敢大声的说。只能一天一天往前看。

心里带着一个希望。。。

希望我和他能够一起走到所说的幸福车站。。。

也是我最后一个车站。。。

Edmund's Farewell Dinner

2012-01-29T11:30:00.000+08:00

One by one grew up. One by one pursue their dreams. One by one leave their hometown. One by one to be missed. Ah! It's time for my brother of different mother leave his comfort zone and face the world outside.

Edmund, friend since I-don't-know-when. Brother since forever. Someone who is always there. Someone who never fought with me. A quiet person who knows how to be a great company. Someone who finally step up and fight for his dream. To help the needy. Yes that's who he is. Always putting others before himself.

This post is so late. We organized a farewell dinner for him on New Year's day and today is already the 30th of January. I've been so lazy and busy with CNY preparations and lots of other stuff. Yes I'm lazy to blog nowadays. I'd broke up with the internet world. Spending more of my time outdoor than just sitting in front of my lovely desktop for the whole day.

Gathering was at Kado.

The familiar faces around.

This was what happened when the anti-socials decided to stick their face to their phones. We found a new toy!

Group photo with part of our family. Sadly not everyone was available that night for the dinner. It's been so long since we gather guys. Really....

Another group photo without me and with the Supermens!

How can I ever let you go before taking a photo right? =)

People said "Friends come and go, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart". But my dear Mund, you're not just a friend. You do not come and go. You do not leave footprints in my heart. You're my long-lost brother. A brother whom I feel most comfortable hanging around with. Our friendship goes beyond what words can describe friendship.

Ah! I'm so gonna miss you much! Remember that I am always here even though we're an ocean apart now. That's what phones are for. Haha! Do work hard, save up and get a house over there. Then I can fly over to visit you as often as I want =)

Heart to heart forever!

Chinese New Year @ The Raintree Restaurant BCCK

2012-01-16T21:22:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is JUST NEXT WEEK!!!!! Time flies a lot these days right? And time is still flying. So are you flying too? Have you prepared everything? Food? Snacks? Drinks? Clothes? Shoes? Decors? Or are you the true-Malaysian whereby you're still doing your last minute shopping and still going around town searching high and low for places to dine for Reunion Dinner?

Ah! I'm here to bring you good news! I too went searching for places to dine for the whole week of Chinese New Year. Um....ok I lied. I'm helping all of you to do your homework. Oh don't thank me. Let's just hear my story and view my photos before you thank me alright? =)

Presenting to you, awesome food from The Raintree Restaurant located at BCCK. This time I'm not gonna force you guys to sit the traditional round table but instead, we're gonna go the buffet style. Oh yeah!

How much you ask? It's ONLY RM68 nett per person and as for children age from 5-12 years, it's RM34 nett per person. Now name me another place in town where you can get awesome food at this price. Hold on a sec! You don't wanna call for reservation without knowing what's on the menu right?

Be ready for mouth-watering food. Make sure you have tissue packets with you right now =D

Chinese Popiah with Condiments & Sauce.

Note: The sauce is a special mixture created by BCCK's Chinese Chef, Chef Peter Ngu, who used to work at Empress Cruise Ship!!! That sauce is definitely something that made me wanting to bring it back for my mom! Yes it is that nice!

Sze Chuan Hot & Sour Seafood Soup.

It is indeed hot and sour. This dish is definitely the huge kick-start for dinner. Surely enhanced my appetite that night. Simply hunger for more!

The main dishes:
Baked Snapper Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce
Home made Beancurd & Minced Chicken
Braised Three Mushroom with Garden Green Vege
Steamed Chicken with Dried Golden Mushroom

Want me to rate the food for you? I think I'll rate every dish 9 out of 10. It's just way too delicious to be described in words! I fell in love with the beancurd & minced chicken! I was sulking the whole night cos the portion is so little =( I want more!!! Man I can't wait to dine there! Grrrrrrrr!!!

Dessert time! I love desserts~ Oh what's a perfect dinner without finishing it with fresh fruits and sweet cakes right?

This piece of chocolate cake made everyone fell head over heels! Simply unbelievably AWESOME!!!

Cheesecake with coconut on the bottom.

Chilled Longan & Sea Coconut.

*Urp!* Oops excuse me =D

Is that it? Oh of course not! How can I disappoint you all with only those dishes right? They actually have different menu for each week! No no no I'm not gonna list down all the dishes. You're gonna go there and tell me what dish do they have and which one is your favourite. Teeheehee~

Think I'm missing something?

What?

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!

YEE SANG!!!!!!!!

People always say, "Save the best for last". So yes I'm saving the best for last!

BCCK The Raintree Restaurant's Prosperity Yee Sang!!!

Come let's read a little facts about Yee Sang.

From Google: Yee Sang is a Teochew style raw-fish salad. Yee Sang is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor. While everyone thought that Yee Sang is from China, it is actually created and popularised in SINGAPORE!!! Who would have thought about that! And how do you eat it? Everyone gotta stand up surrounding the Yee Sang and toss it using chopsticks. It is believed that the height of the toss reflects the height of the diner's growth in fortunes, thus diners are expected to toss enthusiastically.

Something new for you to learn eh? =)

Raw salmon for Yee Sang!

The nice waitress helped us prepare our Yee Sang while we sat and watched. It's my first time watching how Yee Sang is being prepared.

Lots of condiments and sauces to be added.

And then we start to toss! The higher the better the huat'er!!!

The aftermath =D

So are you still hesitating of where to dine? Oh come on! If my photos can't convince you, then why don't you head over to The Raintree Restaurant this weekend and show me your photo skill!

Starting from January 22 to February 6, 2012!!! ONLY RM68!!!!! Available from 6.30pm until 9.30pm.

Let's feast together like the Dragons and with the Dragons and be as prosperous as the Dragons! *rawr!*

欢子 - 得到你的人却得不到你的心

2012-01-11T21:36:00.000+08:00

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................................................................................

You! When I wanted you, you told me to stop. Now I stopped and moved on, you came back to me.

Months ago, you came into my life. Bringing changes. Bringing new life. Bringing happiness. Bringing laughter. You know how to tickle my soft bone. You know how to talk things into my mind. You know how to communicate with me. It's been a while since I felt that much alive. Oh you know, new stuff.

And then I started to crush. Crush hard. Tried to pulled myself back. Saying I MUST RESIST. But I can't. So I worked my way up. I pushed through locked doors. I lifted fallen logs. I tear and tore the tall grasses. And in the end, I hurt myself.

Then God's will came. He brought it to me in a very very ugly picture. It gave me a bang in my head. Real hard bang. Might even caused PHD. Permanent Head Damage. Yeah that's the way it works on me. God knows I'm stubborn and won't listen to anybody. So He decided to teach me the lesson Himself.

Soon after that, I gave up. I know it's God way of saying "It's not right" to me. I know it's just a dream. A very wonderful dream He gave to me earlier on just to have a different taste of life. Thank you, I said. No I'm not mad. I'm not pissed at Him. Though yes I was pissed at God for that ugly picture. But not for that dream.

Even if I was able to have you, I know, I will never be able to capture your heart...

I tasted. I resisted. I fought. I learnt. I grew.

So now I'm moving on. I hope you will too. I hope you can have your dream come true. Great buddy I will still be. As the song goes:

I won't hesitate no more, no more,
This is our fate, I'm yours~

Yes yours. Your great buddy. Not your woman =) You woman is her. Go ahead and pursue that dream of yours. I'm sure you can. Don't go back to the past. Live the present. And hope for the future.

You know who you are *winks*

*tones of hugs&kisses*

Good luck!

为什么相爱的人不能在一起

2012-01-11T21:16:00.003+08:00

A song that I miss listening to. Was on this dilemma for 4 years. Throughout this whole 4 years I repeatedly asked myself, why. Why can't we be together? Why wasn't there any base for us to start? Why there wasn't even an opportunity? Not even for a split second. Why...

And then I realized. It's for the best for both of us. We were not meant to be. You and I can never be us. It's not that I've been clapping one hand but my hands are just not meant for you to hold. We've been good. We've been bad. We've had so much memories together. It's all gone for good now.

I'm now proud to say that I finally let you off the hook. I'm glad I did. After hanging on for 4 years, I know that it's not supposed to be this way. Even if I were to hold on longer, it's not gonna be. Even if that time when both of us are available, we will never be us.

So dear You, thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for teaching me so much about life and relationship and let me know what is love =) Thank you for always being there when I needed someone to talk to about everything.

I'm moving on. And so are you. We will still be friends. We will still be good. But as you and me. Not us =)

Welcome to 2012

2012-01-08T19:04:00.002+08:00

Well hello everyone! I know I'm a week late but hey HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! A week had passed and I'm still stuck at only one post =.= Things got caught up and I got lazy. That's it. No other reasons. I'll make this a short post.

As always, I'll do a resolution every single year just to get myself motivated and go for it! Looking back, last year I told myself that I must graduate on time with the title Diploma in Accounting and needless to say, I got it! =D Happy, satisfied, excited, awesome!

Now, I've been thinking for quite some time. What should I do this year? Should I aim for more vacation? But I already have the whole year's vacation planned out. I'm not planning to further my studies nor change my job. So really, what should my 2012 resolution be?

After much thought, I found what I want =)

Ready?

This is gonna be different....

I really hope I can hold on to this resolution...

It's something that I never thought I would do at this age...

It's something that I want for a change for myself...

It's something that will change my life forever...

It's also something that will change someone else's life forever...

My 2012 Resolution:
I want to settle down for someone (我要为一个人定下心)..........

Who? It's for me to know and for you to find out. Heeeee~

Let's put our hands together and work out this year, the year of the dragon *rawwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* Man I'm gonna be 24 this year. Fuh~ I know I'm young! =D But not that young anymore. I need to start working out all that I had planned and walk on a steady path. No more fooling around. Gambateh!

Yours truly,
Perpetua Angeline *signing off*

* TweetUp Kuching at Spring

* Andrew's birthday at McD
* Christmas at Santubong
* NYE at Kent's house

Reading all my short notes, I realized that the year 2011 isn't that bad after all. There's good times, bad times. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy. Major stuff that happened really changed my life. For the first half of 2011, it's been quiet because I was just busying myself with studies and exams. It's the 2nd half that spinned my life 180 degrees.

Hui's words: It's not what happened to us. It's one of us stopped trying. One of us quit.

I remember those words well. And yes I actually quitted. I quitted my 3 years relationship with YL. Why? I don't wanna give you the list of excuses. It just ended. That's it.

Initially I was preparing to leave Kuching and head out to KL for a new life. Planned to leave right after CNY 2012, but worst case happened. Really, it's the worst day of my 2011 life. The news of Hui left us all, shocked me and left me sleepless for nights. He made me changed my mind. I decided to stay back in Kuching for his 3 girls. Maybe my help won't be needed now but sooner or later I'm sure my pair of extra hands can do little help here and there. A promise is a promise.

Lots of lesson had been learnt throughout the whole year. I will treasure what's left, I will take care of the present and I will prepare myself for the future. I foresee another great year ahead with my already packed schedule =) 2 confirm vacation, 3 still pending. I vow to travel more often! Life is just way too short to be wasted saving money in the bank for a future which you don't know how it looks like. You can never finish earning those money so why be stingy when you can use those money for better purpose?

Til then~

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper

2011-12-31T15:06:00.003+08:00

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like
So there's nothing left of me?

[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

[Bridge:]
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better
To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

[Bridge:]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here, watch you disappear
Yeah oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

(Like a skyscraper) huh huh huh

Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

*Hui, a song for you. Now that you have gone, I can only talk to you through prayers. Hoping much that you can hear me. Times had been tough for you, I know. But I will never ever forget times that we had together. Times when we laughed, times when we played, times when we went to school, times when we had breakfast, lunch, dinner and even supper together. All those memories will forever be cherished. Deep down inside, you will forever stay in all of our hearts.*

Ups and downs we went through

From laughters to tears to departure

You will forever be my brother

You will forever be remembered

Refusal to accept the truth

Refusal to face the future

Refusal to hear comfort words

Refusal to let you go

But of that all, I know I had to

Keep the past as memories

Treasure the present for it's a gift

And prepare for the future without you

My brother, rest in peace

I will fulfill what i had promised

I will keep you in my heart

You will forever be missed....

To Chiang Hui with loves from ST3P Family.......

2011-12-31T14:49:00.001+08:00

During the night when I was so down with incident that happened around me. During the night when I just don't feel like staying at home. During the night when I roam aimlessly on Facebook and Twitter. During the night when I do not want to do anything because my heart breaks so much that it hurts deep down within and no one knows. During the night when I refused to accept the truth......

Is the night when someone special came to me.

Brought me out. Refusing to tell me where we're going. Keeping the journey silent. Having my favourite station playing songs in the background. Just letting me sob in the car while we're on the road.

We ended up going on a long journey just for dinner =)

Mani vegetable fried with eggs. Not a dish that favors me but it doesn't matter. I wasn't in my best appetite.

Deer meat cooked with black pepper sauce started to tickle my tummy a little.

Lastly, he knows me deep down inside. I was in the mood for tomyam soup.

Tell me where to find such great friend. Who knows you inside out when in reality we only met during second half of 2011. Tell me where to find such understanding partner. Who knows when to appear and when to let me stay alone when it's needed. But even if he were to let me stay alone, it only means silence with his company.

Ok cut that story. I'm not gonna post everything here. I'm not ready to speak everything out for everyone to read. I'll just let things tingle here and there. Wait til I'm ready then you all will eventually know =)

Til then~

Fusion Grill Restaurant

2011-12-31T14:27:00.000+08:00

Oh Christmas Oh Christmas ooooohhhhhhhhhh Christmasssssss~~~

We all know about parties and gatherings during Christmas Eve night but what about Christmas day itself? How did you celebrate the birth of Christ? =)

As for myself, since I wasn't at home for Christmas Eve, I decided to bring mom out for dinner on Christmas night. Well, I was assigned to choose the venue and my bro was the one paying. Wahahaha! Nowadays my bro seems to be richer than me. Hmm....how can that be when I'm earning an income and he's still in school???

Oh nevertheless, mom always said never complain when you get free food. Just say Thank You. Hehe =) So yes, thanks bro for the awesome dinner!

Fusion Grill Restaurant. Located at Brighton Square. Just right behind FTMS College. A small restaurant but I love the environment to the max!

Just look how Christmassy the place was decorated. Red couch and cushions paired with white and green table cloth. A little candle just for that little extra touch. Simple is the new beautiful =)

My drink for the night. I forgot the name =.= It's Temple something. =X It's actually Ribena Sprite. Haha! But ah not bad. Least it's one of my favourite drink =)

My bro had..........er...........chocolate something =.= Ok ok so it's been a week and I forgotten all the names. Sigh.....Blame my procrastination! Oh I forgot to take picture of mom's cappuccino!

Ok skip that. Food time!

Mom's yummeh porky chop with mushroom sauce! Oink oink! I rate this 7/10. Only had a bite. Not bad.

Bro's forever faithful chicken chop with mushroom sauce. I didn't try this one and I didn't bother to ask if it's nice or not. But if you wanna know,you're always welcome to leave a comment then I can ask him =)

Last but not least, my delicious lamb chop with black pepper sauce! Slurps slurps slurps~~ I rate this 8/10. Why? Cos actually I don't really prefer 7point lamb chop. If it's beef steak then yes. Well this is my personal opinion though. But no harm to give it a try. It's quite good actually =) Don't mind my taste. Hehe~

I'm thinking of going back there some day. Kinda love the place and food. Hmm.....Need to find a date to go with. Anyone? Haha!

Til then~

古巨基 - 眼睛不能沒眼泪

2011-12-29T21:35:00.001+08:00

微笑吧容我把天真留下
相机证明曾经欣赏过大家
离去吧忘记永久这童话
想找快乐何不飞奔抱住他
一起开心留下不再开心由它
愿你记住结束感情没有罪
变心不是你不对
假使背着良心一起太傻女
愿我记住眼睛不能没眼泪
只因沙石要洗去
真心爱人无非想她有人可登对

明智地无意对伤感回避
牺牲我後才知心中有慈悲
麻痹地忘记背影多明媚
相恋告别全因不想再自欺
想我宽恕傻话心会更改无它
愿你记住结束感情没有罪
变心不是你不对
假使背着良心一起太傻女
愿我记住眼睛不能没眼泪
只因沙石要洗去
真心爱人无非想她有人可登对

再找安眠药有罪再不肯睡我不对
这麽伟大疗伤不必靠药水
无需宽恕有新感情没有罪
如果他这麽理想别要内疚心虚
强装宽容就算累你不安是我不对
不忍放下谁可找到最合适伴侣

Christmas Presents

2011-12-29T21:19:00.000+08:00

Time to reveal my Christmas presents this year!

Nothing much though. No major gift exchange or so. Just from the usual ones =) But of course, there's a little extra spices this time.

10 days before Christmas I received my pre-Christmas present from Kent! Awesome chocolates! My favourites! Tiramisu, dark chocolate and of course, Jack Daniels Yummeh!!! Tiramisu is gone inside my tummy already. Hee~ For someone who loves chocolate much, never hesitate to give me one. I'll never complain even if it's just one. =D

From mom and bro. Mom gave me a handbag and angpow while bro gave me a penguin! He told me that he actually went to my blog and search down my wishlist. Haha! The power of blogs!

In exchange, I bought mom, a bottle of perfume and I gave bro, a tool for his guitar.

Last but not least.............................................

Say HELLO to Milo!

Welcome to my life Milo and Kopi-O! Hahahahaha! Kent gave me 2 puppies. One bigger size white color which we named him, Milo and the other smaller size black color which we decided, since it's so black, then name it Kopi-O. Hahaha!

Now I have a brown puppy name Cookie, a brown bear name Coffee, a white puppy name Milo and a little black one name Kopi-O! What's next? Hahaha!

I have yet to get myself anything this Christmas. And I haven't even get Kent his present =.= Gotta shop soon before New Year comes! I have several choices for myself. Help me choose can?

#1 Cecelia Ahern's latest novel
#2 Any of Sidney Sheldon's novel
#3 Sit-up bench
#4 A new pair of boots
#5 Handbag

Eh wait! Speaking of novels, I just REMEMBERED!!!! I do have a gift for myself already! And it's still with my boss Cyril! Hahaha! Ok so maybe I can save up my money for other stuff. Hee~

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Christmas at Santubong Resort

2011-12-29T20:10:00.000+08:00

So how did you celebrate your Christmas Eve? Silent prayer at the church? Family dinner at home and then exchange presents? Or partying hard at a club? Hmm....Previous years I had always spent my Christmas Eve at home with my family. Be it asking friends over for barbecue or just steamboat with mom and bro. But this year I decided to spend it a little differently.

Initially I wanted to go up Damai on Christmas night but when I asked around, Aaron actually booked a room at Santubong on Christmas Eve. Without hesitation I called up the travel agent and booked a room for myself. Next was to gather more people. Plan succeed. In the end we had 20 people up there with just 2 rooms. Wahaha!

Delayed lunch thanks to Kent who forgot to refill his car petrol! Hahaha! Man what a Christmas Eve! My first encounter of this matter. Ho ho ho! Santa decided to give them a morning walk to Shell station to buy petrol. Haha! Merry Christmas yo!

Finally after lunch and last minute shopping, we reached Santubong resort just in time to check in =) It's my first time stepping into Santubong land! Fuh sakai sia! 3 guys shared to top-up my room to Superior room just so we can have the others at next door. Connecting room rocks!

While we were resting and waiting for the sun to set a little, next door boys decided to give us all a surprise! 5 Supermen in the room! WootZ!!!

And then it's boys will be boys time again. This always happens. Hmm......Kesian Melissa's Angry Bird that got squashed! Melissa to the rescue!

Nothing much were played that day. Except for pools and beach. I swear I'll NEVER go back to Santubong beach! Darn far and darn dirty!!! I got knocked by a few wood sticks and even little planks! It hurts so badly! =( Eff you all Kuching citizens who do not know how to take care of the cleanliness of our beautiful beach!

Ahhhh......Macallan became my best friend that night =) I spent my night talking, drinking and just doing nothing but staring into the raining sky with songs playing in the background. No gift exchange, no drunkyards, no loud music. A quiet Christmas Eve for me. A very different one indeed. Secrets shall be sealed! =P

Under the melted snow we dance
Macallan became our best friend
Throughout the night we exchange words
Of laughters, of tears, of love...

Never have I felt this peaceful
Our songs are all so beautiful
My doubts were all washed away
For I have found someone who walk my way...

叶子的离开是风的请求而不是树的不挽留。。。
叶子的确是为了风而离开树。。。
但是。。。
当风留下叶子在陆地时。。。
小鸟用心的吧叶子带回家了。。。

我们的陌生亲密的故事。。。

Andrew Birthday @ McD

2011-12-28T20:36:00.000+08:00

The week before Christmas, the same day as La Senza Pin Up Store's official opening, was our dearest little brother Andrew's birthday! I was so busy with my own stuff that I totally missed his name out of my birthday list!!! =X So sorry bro!

It was only until that day itself when I checked my Facebook while having lunch at Xian Ding Wei that I realized OMG it was Dru's birthday!!! Immediately without hesitation I called him up and booked him for the night. Or at least an hour to two cos I know he has got lots of appointment. Hehe =) Was too last minute to do any planning so I decided just to head to McD for a different feeling. Back to the old days!

Mass messaged everyone that I can think of and had everyone head there for supper. Rushed off to Taka Cake House to get him an American choc cake. Yum! Lucky for me, everyone attended! Yeehaa! Ok maybe a few who was forgivably busy. But at least I'm satisfied with the crowd, again. =)

The usual suspects these days. Oh hello Gab! Camera alert!!! =D

The cake. Boy I'm glad Taka always prepared few cakes for sale. Else I'm gonna have to get layered cakes instead. Haha!

The happy birthday boy! Youngest among us all. Another Sagi baby~

Uuuuuggggghhhhhhhhhhh as he claimed that the cake was too hard to slice =.=

So he decided to ask Evelyn for help. Haha! Why does it seems like everyone is eyeing the cherries?

And some debate happened behind us. Hmm.......Debating whether or not to take the cherries guys?

No group photos. Just random snaps from me. Ah I seriously need to print out everyone's birthdate onto a piece of paper and stick onto my wardrobe maybe. That way I can see whose birthday is coming soon =.= Yeah maybe I really should do that.

Til then~

Yin Birthday @ Tropical Fish

2011-12-27T22:01:00.001+08:00

Time passed so fast this month. It's already the 27th today. 3 days to go before 2011 ends. And I still have tons of pending posts!!! Blame my procrastination. Blame my laziness. Blame my packed schedule. Just don't blame me. Hehe =) Ok ok I'd promised myself to blog every single thing before this year ends. Gotta give my blog a good ending aye?

Hmm....early this month I planned for a birthday party for Sui Yin. Sagi baby of our ST3P Family but is already a mother of 3 beautiful girls! Man I do envy her! =P~

We celebrated her birthday 3 days earlier because she had to leave for KL for meeting during her birthday. As always I had to come out with the place for parties. This time we tried a new place called Tropical Fish located at 3rd mile. Just opposite the F&N factory coming down from Penrissen road.

The usual suspects. That night sadly most of ST3P Family wasn't able to attend due to personal matter but I'm glad the crowd was pleasing. At least the Gaming Kakiz managed to attend =)

The boys playing their old time game while waiting for food.

Me and my beautiful stepdaughters! Jovell, Daphne and Clarice! Lovely aren't they? =)

We had a special offer that night. Many thanks to Kent for this special treat. We were offered set meal which consists of mixed grill, spaghetti, salad, mushroom soup, garlic bread and free flow of soft drinks at only RM25!!! I think it's really worth it! Plus the food is good. Really. Maybe I will go back and try the spaghetti =)

Om nom noming away~ We waited quite long for our food cos many came late and we kept adding orders. Haha! I think the waitress was confused by us =P

So while everyone was noming away.............

Daddy took his responsibility and prepare fish & chips for his girls =) I wanted to help out but he refused and said he can do it himself. So what's left for me to do? Snap photo of him of course!

What's a birthday party without a birthday cake =) Surprise surprise she was! The boys had to go down and spent some time smoking before coming up with the surprise. Hehehe =D

Lovely couple~ Sweet as always~ Hawt mama and handsome papa! WootZ!

Mama and her girls~

Family portrait is a MUST! I remember how this photo was taken. I was trying so hard to call for Clarice to look at my direction but she just refused to! Then everyone was blaming Gab for not taking her attention cos he was just standing behind me. Haha! We had a hard time trying to distract her. Hmm.....I wonder what was she so focused at.

Boys will be boys~ This time Martin was the one got bullied =P

Back in action!

Group photo before everyone head home. Ah what a night!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YIN!

Christmas Soon

2011-12-14T22:56:00.003+08:00

Lately too many incident happened. Way too sudden. Way too fast. I'm still caught up with those matters. Not quite in the mood to blog actually. But looking at my archieve, it looks just so pathetic. Sigh...I'll blog about those heartbreak matters one at a time soon. Just not now. I need to boost up my Christmas mood.

How's everyone's preparation for Christmas? Though my Christmas tree is up but I haven't buy any gift! Ok apart from gifts for my stepdaughters. I've been so focused on their gifts that I left every single person out, even my mom =.=

This weekend I'm gonna go shop for gifts for everyone. It's gonna be a lil different this year. A little more a little less here and there. Christmas has always been my favourite season of the year. It's a season to be jolly. But this Christmas, it's gonna be quiet =(

Aihh.....How to boost up my Christmas mood people? I think I need a lil psychological help here. I need to know how to let go. I need to focus on what's important. Hmm.....

Ta!

The Junk

2011-12-07T21:03:00.001+08:00

I wanna say FINALLY I stepped into The Junk for the first time last Saturday night! Man I feel so outdated =.= Seriously no one trust that I've never been to The Junk before. So here I am declaring my first visit to The Junk.

I was out with Kent and initially he wanted to bring me to Hui Sing for dinner. Then when we passed by John's Place, I mentioned to him that a friend introduced me that place but I've never been there too. And he said let's give it a try. But then in the end when it's dinner time, we passed by The Junk, I pointed it out and he immediately fell for the atmosphere and that's how we ended up there. Haha! How impulsive!

We sat upstairs cos it's full at ground floor. This place is so packed! But boy am glad there's a table left for us.

I'm starting to love their decors. Even this 'penumbuk' tool also can be used to place a candle. Haha!

Which human would drink a cappuccino at night! =.=

Salmon steak! Yummilicious! It's tender juicy awesomely delicious!

Voila! Me love lamb shank! But it's a portion too huge for me so we ate half of each. Hehe =P~

Great food they've got there! I might be going back. But not so soon. There's still lots of place to venture for food as more and more people are opening cafes and restaurants in Kuching. How can you reject good food when you're staying in a Food Paradise?

After dinner we still have about an hour to two to spend just to wait for time to pick my bro. Went driving around town and ended up here. He stopped for a ciggy break while I enjoy the songs in car. A very soothing night. No tension no stress no boredom. Just fun!

Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

2011-12-06T21:13:00.001+08:00

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cos talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

SSPCA Christmas Bazaar

2011-12-04T21:14:00.001+08:00

Yesterday SSPCA held a Christmas Charity Bazaar at Stampin. I went there for one reason. Dogs. Haha! My love for dogs are indescribable. I've been wanting to own one but cos mom says 'NO' so I can't do anything =( Promised myself that next time when I have my own house, I'll get one from SSPCA. I won't buy. I'll adopt =) Every dogs need a family.

But then when I was there, I was kinda disappointed. Why? Cos they only have 4 pups there. Why can't they have more? There's lots of cats but nah, cats me no like.

This one's cute! A poser too! Nyehehehehe~

Bands performing on stage. I didn't really bother to hear =P~ Was paying attention to what's happening around me while I look for more dogs to wink at.

Food and drinks for sale.

More food and drinks. Fruits too! Calendars, diaries, posters. Anything!

What did I buy? Oh wait. No not me buy. Someone bought it. Hahaha! Yes I've got 2 containers of FREE ICE-CREAM!!! Can savour me for days~ Me love scoops! But too bad their chocolate flavour ran out. So I took cappuccino and rum raisin. Yum~

Ok I'm taking my vow here. I'm so gonna adopt a dog one day!

My Favourite Sport

2011-12-03T09:22:00.001+08:00

I guess I've never mention before. Badminton is my favourite sport. Why? I have reasons why. It's not only for the fun of it =)

First, it's something that I picked up since I was a kid. Used to play alot with my cousins and friends. I remember every weekend when I went over to my aunty's house, I'll play with my cousins at their carporch. Aunty's got a huge house there. We had the cloth hanger rack as our 'net'. Haha! Then when we accidentally hit higher and the shuttle cock went up the roof, we had to use the bamboo stick to get it down. I really miss those days with my cousins when there were no worries and all we know was to play. Ah kids!

Second, I tend to choose to think that I have this interest in badminton because of my dad. Yes my dad was a badminton player. He plays few nights in a week. He used to bring me around the badminton court which was situated next to Saberkas. Then I'll just sit there and watch him play with his friends. Too bad he wasn't there to teach me how to play the right way. I guess it's because of him that I naturally love badminton out of thousands of other sports =) One day I would love to be able to play a game with him. If only...

So, after quitting dance class for 11 months now, and quitted swimming for a month, I told myself that I MUST exercise! I wanted to join my teacher's gym class but no one wanna go with me =( I don't wanna go back to dance class cos I know I won't stay here for long. It's gonna be a waste to join for 3 months and then left.

Miracles happened. And I'm really glad it did. Fate is all we had. I found an avid badminton player in just few days time and VOILA! We went to Stapok badminton court last night for the first game. Oh man I've been so rusty that I kept picking up the shuttle cock! Now that I'm sitting here blogging about this, trust me, my right arm is aching like hell and I can't type fast. It's gonna be aching for the next few days but I'm thinking of playing again tomorrow noon. Hehe =P~

I vow to play weekly now. I must exercise else I'll definitely grow fats! I need to keep myself healthy and fit. You know, a woman after the age of 25 tend to grow horizontally alot faster than you can think. I'm getting near to 24 now. I better do something about my weight and size before it's too late =D

Keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully I can make it for the next few months.

I NEED TO EXERCISE!

Hennessy Artistry 2011 - 童话

2011-12-02T18:02:00.001+08:00

Remember I went to Hennessy Artistry few weeks ago? Park Jung Min and Landy Wen duet the song 童话 together. It's awesome! I couldn't help but to fall in love all over again that night =) It was a moment of reminiscence. Man I teared just singing along with everyone else. It is a very nice song I must say. One of the best I've heard back in high school. Memories came flooding away. Ahhh.......I wish someone was there beside me right at that moment <3

Enjoy~

Telaga Air

2011-12-01T19:56:00.001+08:00

As a Kuchingite, I am a super sakai one. I never know there's a place called Telaga Air existed just not far away from my house. I feel so noob. Ok I ever heard of the name but I never bother to ask where or what is it. Cos it sounds like a well to me.

So last weekend Kent brought this sakai shit out of me. He didn't wanna tell me where was he driving me to. I just blindly follow and at the same time worried that I might be kidnapped away. Haha!

Here I am. A ruined signboard greeted me. I can't figure what's the missing word. Can you?

Point: Why lah people wanna spoil signboards? They're just standing there being innocent yet you wanna go poke it and damage it like that. Sigh......Grow up kids!

A colorful building which I have no idea what this is. Attractive yes. There's shoplots just behind this building but we didn't walk over to see.

The main part of Telaga Air. It stretches down to a little jetty where people sat there and fish for the day.

Looks like Waterfront Kuching no? But the atmosphere here is much much better! Love the sea winds =)

Hmm...this would be a very romantic place during Valentines. One can set up candlelight dinner here with the awesome seaview and look up to enjoy the starry sky.

Randomness. Lazy to crop. So there, the original photo taken with my HTC.

Gave me a peaceful feeling.........

Walk me down the aisle will you? =) Sorry but no I don't wanna get married at a jetty. Haha! Beach can. But not jetty.

Oh I forgot to mention. I actually googled up this place and found out that it's a Malay fishing village! Colorful boats they have there.

It was a great Sunday afternoon I must say. It's been awhile since I had this adventurous feeling. Just randomly driving somewhere out of town and stay there for an hour being accompanied by the sea and wind and clear sky. It's the journey, the road trip that I always enjoy. Would love to go on another road trip some time in the near future before I leave this peaceful city of love.

Bako Seafood Restaurant

2011-11-30T18:19:00.001+08:00

So! I went back to work as part-time promoter last weekend at Sunday market. I think I was there to play than to actually work =P Was just helping a friend out cos he's doing roadshow. Managed to earn myself a little extra pocket money and then spent it just the next day. Haha! Money come and go way too easily for me.

Nevertheless, it was the fun that I was aiming for. Not the money. Cos most of the time, I think it was Kent himself who distributed those vouchers and I just stand there be the side-decor. My weekend wasn't just about spending half the day at Sunday market, I went to Bako for lunch and then off to Telaga Air too! Let the photo tell the story shall we?

Kent brought me to Bako for lunch after we finished off work at Sunday market. His aunty own a small seafood restaurant there. It's just by the river. Peaceful view. Me Love!

Sitting there, enjoying your seafood with the natural sea wind plus the calm waters. Man nothing beats that environment!

I have no idea which part of Bako this is but I did saw the sign of SMK Bako. It's just somewhere near the Bako National Park too. Hmm....why didn't we visit the park?

Little sampan bringing villagers from across the river to this side of the shore. Some of them were fishing in their sampan too.

Sampan parking. Haha! If a place to park your car is called carpark, what about sampan? Sampanpark?

Bako Seafood Restaurant! Looks kinda low maintained but heck the food is awesome! NEVER JUDGE A SHOP'S FOOD BY ITS OUTLOOK!

Fried taufu. It's not just plain taufu. There's vege stuffed inside. Awesome stuff!

Sweet sour fried fish. Not bad. I was actually expecting fish fillet. Hehe but it's ok. It's still sweet sour anyway.

FABULOUS FRIED SOTONG!!!! Damnit I wish I can finish all this! But argh I was so full already! Seriously I SHOULD tapao this back home the other day. The BEST fried sotong I've ever eaten! I'm so gonna go back for this!

What's a seafood meal without bidin cook with belacan right?

Love this lunch max!!! Next, Kent brought me around Bako since I'm so sakai and do not know how to get there. He actually grew up there. He even brought me to his granduncle's durian farm!

See what I saw? Yummylicious!!!!

And some more! Too bad they were still up on the tree. Gotta wait for them to fall. And when they do fall, I'm going to have free durians! Can't wait!!!

World Walking Day 2011

2011-11-29T20:06:00.001+08:00

20th November 2011 was being noted in history as it's the World Walking Day 2011! I missed last year's walk. So this year when I got the news, I immediately went to Sarawak Plaza to register myself. Early bird gets the worm. I got free tshirt!

That morning I had to reach there by 5.30am. So I woke up super early for breakfast. But end up there's no instant noodle at home =.= So I had to head down for breakfast in town. Oh where else but McD~ Nope I wasn't alone. YL was in this walk with me and he's nice to drive out earlier to accompany me for breakfast. Man the weather was stiffing cold that morning!

Met up with Evelyn, Karol and Sharon~ Also saw my cousin Chee but then she left after she collected her tshirt =.='''

We waited for so long because some actually went to register on the day itself. And it's only until that morning then they set up those tents =.=''' So last minute!

People mountain people sea! There were hundreds attended! Awesome gather Kuching peeps! It's a time way too early for any Kuchingite to wake up on a Sunday morning but heck we're all so in for this walk!

The stage.

Finally at 7-ish they started the aerobic session. Man it's tiring! It's fun but then the morning aerobic is way too long! I lost count of the time.

Oh hello Mr Koko Krunch! Me love Koko Krunch much!!! Of all the cereal, Koko Krunch is my favourite! Why? Because I'm a HUGE FAN OF CHOCOLATE!!!!

After the aerobic session and speech session, we started our walk around the city! From old court house, we walked towards post office.

Then down we went to Star Cineplex. The weather was beginning to get hotter.

Then we walked back towards Hilton.

And turned in from Khatulistiwa Cafe. People start taking photos with the step-counts board. Hehe

Back at starting point! No I didn't count how long we walked but I think it's about 30-45 minutes only. Oh yes! We have FREE Koko Krunch and Cornflakes! ME LOVE!!!!! Nestle was one of the many sponsors. They sponsored Milo drinks too~

And FREE MAGGI TOO!!!! Maggi sponsored curry flavoured instant noodle. Yum!!!

Clown to please the kids with balloons~

Lastly, local singers were there to entertain those who stayed back for more fun. I left not long after that. Need to get home and rest more.

Nevertheless, it was a great experience walking with hundreds of Kuchingites around our beautiful Kuching! I shall do it again next year (provided I'm at Kuching).

Ta~

p/s: Photos all taken using Evelyn's Sony digicam which I have yet to give it back to her =P

Mike & Norman Birthday

2011-11-25T20:35:00.001+08:00

Last Friday night we celebrated Mike's and Norman's post birthday over at Fahri's place. I wasn't aware that it's actually for the two of them until that night! Only told the time and venue and off I went empty handed =X Don't blame me! I wasn't inform earlier! Haha!

As usual, I tend to go parties a lil too early than others just cos I'm kiasu. Haha! Ok not for that but I was hungreh!!!! Luckily boss brought this sambal belacan thing. Er....I don't really know what you call it but heck it's awesome stuff! Sour plus spicy! Yum!

Boss and the assistant, Rodz. Laughing over? I have no idea.

And there's goes our version of Namewee. Hahaha! Why does this photo look like Rodz the manager telling Namewee his schedule and he's busy tweeting away? =P~

While waiting for our food to be barbecued by Irene and Fahri, the boys took over the game station and war away! Irene is so nice to help out with the barbecue and the rest of us just have to eat. Hehe =P~

The pretty princess! With er....one of Fahri's bantal busuk? Haha! Oh she too helped out with cutting the porks. I was the only girl who doesn't help out cos I'm not a kitchen girl. Haha! I don't cook so all this stuff is a no no to me =D I only help to eat =P

Ahhh......while Fahri was away barbecuing the porkies and lambs for us, all of us decided to get a lil naughty and *ahem* Tweetjacked! That's the gg face of someone kena tweetjacked and trying his best to lock his Macbook. Haha!

THE BEST BIRTHDAY CAKE I'VE EVER TASTED!!!!! Damn I can never figure that Taka Cake House actually made this awesome stuff! Seriously! BEST chocolate fudge cake ever!

The happy birthday boy doing the conductor job while........................................................

The rest of us sing him the birthday song~

A new way of 'blowing' off your candles. Clap them away!

The happy naughty birthday boys!

Clarice 2nd Birthday

2011-11-23T20:15:00.001+08:00

28th October was one of my stepdaughter's birthday. Clarice is now 2 years old! =)

A little girl who is able to cheer me up all the time no matter her mood. I love her much! And there's just a link between me and her. How did I know? Well it was tested with everyone. What did we do? We all took turn to try get her into our arms. Needless to say, she never rejects me. Hehehe =P It's always magical how this connection works no?

The aftermath of Ah Hui and Sui Yin's love. Haha! This little girl has got both their beauties though she does look much more like daddy now but she's got her mommy's attitude. Quiet and playful when it comes to playtime. Haha!

We brought her to McD to celebrate because there's playground there for her to play. Oh you know it's always the adults' the one who eats the most. We were also partly celebrating Jason's super pre-birthday.

Candid shot!

Our little princess here seems to love French fries alot! She couldn't stop taking the fries in the tray in front of her. Hahaha! I know too much fries is not good but hey it's her birthday and everyone deserves a little treat during their birthday night right? =) She's growing up fit!

Group photo taken by Evelyn. I was occupied with taking care of Clarice so Evelyn had to be the photographer of the night. Hehehe =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING! Ee Ee loves YOU!~

Damai De-stress

2011-11-22T19:05:00.001+08:00

The beach is my favourite hangout place. A place to keep things calm and peaceful in mind. A place to relax. A place to squeeze my brain juice =) A place to find your true self, your soul....

I'm a beach person. Always have been. A die hard fan! Date me to any beach and I'll say yes. I never reject any beach date. Unless............I'm on vacation to Paris? Hee~ It's the warm sandy beach. It's the cool breeze. It's the me-love-water part that got me loving beach so much. I play alright. I'm a playful bitch. Beach volley? ON! Beach bicycle ride? ON! Or just merely building sand castle? ON!!! That's who I am.

A photo taken by my stepdaughter, Jovell. She's only 6 years old and already has got the love for photography! Surely she did get this talent from her dad. Maybe I should train her more on this field. Hehe =)

So 2 weeks ago, I surrendered myself to the warm sun. I went up Damai to get my homework done. Yes my initial plan was to go up alone but then I thought, why not ask a few friends up since it's a weekend right? It's good to have company. I wanted to drive up. I always love long drive too. No I never complain about driving long distance. I love driving =) But oh then I became a passenger instead. Why?

Because the Triton driver decided to pack his little girls too! And my car won't be able to fit us all. So up we went in a Triton!

The sexy lads~

I told you my plan was to finish my homework right? But then with these guys around, dang you can NEVER concentrate well! They started to play around with Eve's camera and there you go. I'm addicted to photos. Both taking and being taken. Haha!

And then we discovered a secret love affair!!!!

My stepdaughters! Jovell and Daphne. They're so cute kan? =)

A family portrait. Aren't they lovely? But owh we're missing the little one here, Clarice. She was left at home. Hehe =) Else this photo would be perfect!

3rd Trip Down KL

2011-11-20T13:25:00.001+08:00

Yes I've been travelling alot, I know. But hey it's fun! Ok maybe not the money part but yeah it's fun to travel =) Last weekend I flew off to KL again. This time, I went solo. Reason? Well first cos I'm single now and second I was there for a job interview. Which I failed.

Anyway, before I start, I gotta thank Adeline and Ignatius so sO SO MUCH!!! Adeline let me stayed at her place and Iggy was there to bring me around. I really owe them two alot! Thanks guys! Love you two to the max! Hehe =)

When I touched down, I wanted to take the bus to 1U but the bus actually left at 4pm and not 4.30pm which was listed at the website. Mark this down guys. Skybus to 1U left at 4PM SHARP!!! So I missed the bus just by 15 mins. Sigh.....End up I took bus down KL Sentral and Iggy had to go through all the horrible jam along Sprint Highway just to pick me up at 6pm. Imagine that. Man thanks much! Really appreciate!

Then we went straight to dinner cos I wanted to stay in for the night and rehearse for next day's interview. Nervousness started to hit me the minute I board the plane from Kuching. Iggy brought me to SS2 for the famous Kam Heong Chicken stall. It was a really nice catch up with him. It's been months since I last saw him and we haven't talk like years! Like really sit down and talk. Gawd I miss Form2!!!

Sunrise from Adeline's condo. That was about 5 or was it 6am. Or was it 4.30am? I couldn't remember though.

So what was my interview about? Well, I actually took my first step out and went straight to the toughest company, Singapore Airlines. =) I'm glad I did even though I failed. I got my experience there. Met a few new friends. And I sure know well that I wasn't prepared for that sort of interview. I was darn nervous when I saw the many hopefuls standing there hoping to secure their pass to the bright future. Hmm....If you ask me now, I'm not sure if that's the job that I REALLY wanted to do. Seriously? I questioned myself on the spot. Maybe that's why I flunk.

The interview was from 9am to 2pm. Mine ended roughly at 10.30am. It's simple though. We went into the room in a group of 10. Sat down in front of 2 interviewers. One by one stood up to introduce ourselves and answer a question given by them. When I thought I'd had all my questions ready, I will hell never expect them to ask this. What fruit will you introduce in Malaysia? Or something like that. All I hear is fruit! Like FGS FRUIT?!?!?! You've got to be kidding me! I got nervous thinking for my last minute answer and therefore didn't present myself well. Sigh.....

After that we all came out and sat down. Then a guy came out from that room holding a piece of paper. He said "Ok there's 3 names here. If I call out your name, you stay for Round 2. If not, thank you for coming". Nope my name was not being called out. So I left.....

I was no longer in the mood to shop although Sg Wang is just opposite Park Royal. So I took Monorail with 2 new friends and then we switch to LRT but they left for the other way while I went back to my area.

Epic moments happened. Iggy woke up early that morning to send me to Park Royal Hotel and then he went home to sleep. He's not a morning person. I'm so grateful that he actually made this early wake for me. But the thing is, he slept until he didn't hear his phone ringing for thousands of times! By the time I reached my destination, he still have yet to answer my call!!! So I actually waited at the station for like, er....half an hour? I think or was it more. Haha! I called almost everyone I know for help but no one seem to pick up my calls. Only Soul did but he wasn't driving and he was really busy that time. Gah! So what to do? Keep calling until Iggy actually picked up =.= Ok ok I should be really thankful that it didn't take him hours to answer his phone.

So after he picked me up, it's the Hennessy Artistry pass's story. Like I said I nearly missed collecting my free pass if it wasn't for Iggy's faithful iPhone. My stingyness can really cost my life. Maybe it's time for me to get an internet plan for my HTC. Luckily I check Facebook on time and managed to secure my pass with Jason. Phew~ Thanks man! REALLY THANKS!!!

Since I got my pass, it's time to arrange for transport. My only hope: Soul. But he had wedding dinner at that night! I was thinking that ok I can send him to the dinner place and then tapao to eat at home then pick him up at 10pm and go to MIECC. But then he came up with a better solution. Here I wanna say THANKS SAM! Soul got his friend Sam to pick me up, went for dinner, picked Jing Yan and then head straight to MIECC just on time!

Stories on my party at Hennessy Artistry? Read here: HA 2011

We partied until 3am and Soul sent me back home. Good friend I've got there although he could have just ask Sam to send me back cos Sam's place is just 3 mins away from mine. You know, you gotta appreciate friends who made the effort just to make you feel comfortable =)

Ok so I slept near 4am and woke up at 8am. I felt like shit. What the hell happened to my sleep life? I woke up and played with twitter for an hour on bed. Then I decided to call Sam out for breakfast. But then epic moments happened again. This dude got the whole world worried about him!

Story goes: At 9.30am I sent Sam a sms. He didn't reply. So I continued tweeting and facebooking for another half hour. Stomach growling already so I called Sam to wake him up. But heck! The Digi operator told me that the number is not in service!!! I dialled a few more times. Checked his number. Was starting to think what went wrong. So immediately I called Soul up and told him about it. Minutes later he called back and said couldn't get through either. Then I thought why can't I just go over and see if everything's fine. I could either call Iggy or just walk there cos it's just so near. But Soul forgot his block number =.= So gg. And then he said he'll call up another friend and check first. So I rushed to shower and got ready to go over already until Soul called back and said Sam is fine at home sleeping soundly =.=''' How swt is that. Apparently the story Soul got was Sam fell asleep in his car and his phone was robbed. So ok fine. I had to settle my own breakfast at home while thinking how unlucky Sam could get cos his car just got broke in the day before. And now his phone? That's alot of cost there.

True story: Sam wasn't robbed. He actually fell asleep inside his car at MIECC until 6am then he drove home. His phone fell off his hand and somehow 'rolled' under his car seat and he thought it's lost. So he had a friend to call up Digi Centre and barred his line =.= Smart arse!

So the faithful mee goreng from Brunei became my brunch. Then I fell asleep afterwards until 3pm that Iggy msg me and asked if I'm fine. He just woke up =.= Well since Soul said he's gonna find me after 3pm so I told Iggy that I'll be going out and he doesn't need to worry about me. But what I never learn is guy's timing. That 3pm became 5pm. I starved myself to nearly able to swallow a cow. There's food in fridge alright. But they're expired. Except for the ice-cream. Haha!

Finally Soul reached my place at about 5pm with Sam and we went to Midvalley. Weeeeeeeee~ I'm happy for many reasons. First, I haven't been to Midvalley for years! Second, I GET TO EAT! Like finally =.= And third? I don't know. Too hungry to think more.

I'm back at Midvalley! I think the last time I was there was erm.......5 years ago? Or was it when I was in Form 3? Man it's seriously ages ago! My only memory of Midvalley is the jigsaw puzzle store. But hell they're expensive! I can buy 2 puzzles from the jigsaw puzzle store at Pyramid at the price of 1 set here. Do you seriously need to put that price???

Ohhhhhh! We walked to Gardens! My first time there but ah, seems normal. It's like another Pavilion to me. All branded stuff.

This is from I Wanna Go Home shop. No I don't wanna go home at that time. I just wanna stay longer at KL. They're putting up Christmas decors already. This one actually blows the mini white snowballs so it looks like snowing. Hehe =) LOVE CHRISTMAS MUCH!

Later we went to pick another friend, Li San and had our dinner at Kuchai Lama mamak stall.

Barbecued mutton. Yum!

And this is tofu stuffed with vege and have something like rojak's paste on it. Nice!

I would say this trip is a bitter sweet experience for me. Bitter for the failure and disappointments cos I hassle people too much. Sweet? Oh don't mention that =) Now I'm thinking of celebrating NYE at KL but the ticket is gonna cost me alot. Thinking twice and thrice cos I'm really broke already. Haha!

Til I fly again~

Awareness Before Change

2011-11-19T00:17:00.001+08:00

Few days back I had a meaningful conversation with someone dear. It's been awhile since I had such nice talk. I asked "What is awareness before change?". And I was given a satisfying reply. Something that I had never thought of.

Awareness before change = ABC. Realize that? No huh. I didn't too. No it's not as easy as it seems. It's not just 3 alphabets. Not just 3 words. Try to play around with your mind and think deeper. You've got to be a thinker to know it. I'm not a thinker. I'm a doer. That's why I didn't think and just ask =)

Awareness before change is when you are aware of the changes. You know that something is gonna change. But are you aware of the changes? The consequences? The before and after? You know you did something. But are you aware that, that something is gonna bring changes? What type of changes? You should know it well. The changes could be major and minor. Or it could be just how you judge it. It's whether or not you are actually aware of the changes that could bring another change.

Not everyone is aware of changes. Someone like me will just do whatever that comes into my mind right now without actually thinking further or even aware of the changes. Although at times I do think. But it's gonna be rare occassion. Maybe like my current indecisiveness which is to move or not to move. Now that, got me thinking alot. A hell lot! Been having sleepless nights and pointless arguments and now even lead to breaking up. I'm fine.

I used to think alot. But after all those thoughts, I end up empty handed and wasted all my time. So now I became the more Arian me. The doer without thinking much and then regretting later. Or should I say MIGHT regret =) I'm happy with certain stuff that happened without thinking cos I just did. Stuff like......Biboo's nights......

Whereas for some people, they do not realize. They are not aware of the changes. It's only until things start to change that they realize it's too late to do anymore repair. All they could do is to suck up and follow whoever that leads. That way they wouldn't be lost. But what they did not know is that they're actually losing their own tracks cos all that they did were just following behind people.

Though....This didn't really get me thinking much. I have always been aware of what kind of changes will follow from my actions. But at times I just refuse to accept the fact. Also, I'm a risk taker. Even if I know that the changes could be either good or bad. I take the risk and put my bet. I gamble with my own life. Someone told me to take calculated risk. I might need to give that a thought now since many times I end up hurting people and myself (too) cos I never calculate my risk. I just bet on my instinct.

Just for your thought: Are you aware of the changes around you and the changes that you could make to give yourself a better life and at the same time being aware of the changes that could bring from that change that you wanted to make?

Good night peeps~ Had a great night thanks to friends who still cares and loves me much!

Hennessy Artistry 2011

2011-11-16T20:16:00.001+08:00

I WENT TO HENNESSY ARTISTRY 2011!!!!!!!!!

AND THE PARTY IS MAD AWESOME!!!!!

I'm so glad I didn't miss it =P Nearly didn't get my pass to go thanks to Soul lah. Last minute told me that he's going and I had to go around begging for pass =.= Lucky for me that Jason of Mynjayz.com was giving out passes just 2 days before the party. Phew~

So on Saturday noon, Iggy brought me to collect the pass from Jason at Penang Street. And again I almost miss-look the comment part and nearly missed it. But ah all is done and well now =)

My party pass babeh! The ultimate party of the year! How can I miss this when I was actually at KL at the right time kan? It's The Global Art of Mixing! Yum~

The pass is actually a piece of card to be exchange with the tag. The other 2 is just the cover and the map. Good stuff to be kept for memories =)

And the party begins....................................

What's a party without pretty sexy ladies right? A few friends I met at the party. Awesome girls they are!

Another shot taken by Jason Yao. Dslr photo quality memang different~ I was only using Evelyn's Sony digicam. Comes in handy. Don't need to carry my bulky dslr.

And the naughty guys!!! Hmm....where's the proper shot ah? Must be in Jason's fb which I wasn't tagged.

Me and Jing Yan. A cheerful easy going girl. Love her max! No I'm not les but hey she's fun to chat around with~ Glad to have met her that night.

Sam TM. My driver of the night. Wahahahaha! Thank you much Sam! Without him I don't think I'll be able to party that night cos Soul was having dinner and by the time he reached there, he actually missed out so many artists!!! Thank God Sam stayed near me. Hehe =P

Ahhh......do they look like a couple? Hahaha! Boleh tahan kan? =P~

Us with the Hennessy! It was too packed that we had to squeeze and cut short the word =( Nevermind we two shall represent the S (Shuen) and Y (Yan). Haha! I just realized it's so accurate!

Hennessy anyone? Feel free to grab a glass. They're all yours~ Nope I only took 3 sips that night cos I wanted to keep myself sober and just dance the night away...

Ah! Famous blogger! Shii Teck! Finally met him after so long. Er....since CNY right? He's so busy walking around that he met everyone that night. Haha! I didn't get to meet Jun Fook cos I don't know where he is =.= Probably partying hard at the blogger zone.

Everyone filled in their tummy before the liquor comes in =) I didn't eat much cos was still full. But then I regretted later cos I danced until hungry =.= Stupid me! Miko sempat pose! =D Camera alert girl~

My Hennessy pass. Ok the round tag isn't mine. It's Sam's. Hehehe =P~ I curi'ed to take photo only.

This is where the music belongs! Park Jung Min was the first to perform but I failed to capture a nice shot of him cos I was figuring out how to use Evelyn's camera =.= I never touch Sony camera before!

Sexy Landy Wen was next. Bet all the guys were drooling away~ She's got a good voice!

Next up! CHRIS WILLIS!!!! Alright I admit I do not know who is he but he came all the way from USA! I was there waiting for Yolanda Be Cool but when they came out, I was outside with Soul. And missed part of it. Therefore end up with no nice photos =.= Damn gg!

Party people going wild~

It's so jam packed that I hardly move =.= Had to keep my foot still so that I won't fall down cos people were moving here and there. But ah! It's an awesome party with awesome music!

Reason why I kept myself sober? Cos I'm a HARDWORKING BLOGGER! Hahahahahaahaha! Photo taken by Sam. I was snapping photos all the way!

Party hard didn't you? =) Let's party harder for the next Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Brazil!

My Daily Dose of Smile

2011-11-04T18:50:00.002+08:00

Sometimes all you need is a simple "Hi" from someone special to make your day. Or some tend to smile from their morning cuppa coffee. While mine comes in a different form. My daily dose of smiles doesn't come from the daily cartoons I read from Star Newspaper. No it doesn't come from High5 show on tv either. Neither does it come from the rare smooth traffic.

Previously my daily dose will come from me reading back sweet sms'es that I kept in my phone forever reluctant to delete them. It's gonna take me ages to delete those sms. And sometimes on certain days I'll look back at those photos I have in my phone to keep my head light and my day bright.

It's not easy for everyone to go through their everyday life with a smile on their face. No one can do that. Everyone face problems each day. And sometimes by the end of the day, you'll realize that today is just so wasted at those stress but you were dead tired to hangout with friends so you decided to just hit the sack instead. There, a day without smile. What's life?

Happiness comes in many forms. If it's my mom, I would say her smile will be coming from me doing the cooking and washing and my bro actually takes the effort to tidy his room. Maybe that will make my mom's day. For others, probably a special treatment for themselves, like going for massage or spa or facial. While for the men, maybe some special dish from their wives on certain days. It all depends on how you find your happiness, your smile of the day.

Recently I found something that made me smile every single day. Or should I say, someone =)

I've never met her before. I can only see from photos. But I fell in love with this little girl at first sight! She's all you can describe from a cheerful little girl to an active naughty ones. How do I know? Take a look at these photos and you'll know. Heee~

I call her Little Yan. She's a friend's niece. Adorable isn't she? Ever since I found her photos on my friend's Facebook album, I've been going back each day just to look at her and then smile throughout the night =)

As told, she's very naughty! But it's her naughtiness that makes her so adorable! I think I'm gonna have some of these photos copied into my Wildfire S soon. Just so that when I get stressed up at work, I can just flick my Gallery and smile away like no one cares.

Thank you for the smiles, Little Yan~ Aunty loves you! Wish to meet you one day =)

Kim Teck Birthday @ Happy Valley

2011-11-03T20:05:00.006+08:00

Early last month a few of us celebrated Kim Teck aka Kapkiew's birthday at Happy Valley. Time and venue set. No problem at inviting people except that problems only occur that night itself. Some didn't appear and then disaster happened at Happy Valley.

To cut the story short, NEVER GO TO HAPPY VALLEY ANYMORE!!! Their service sucks max!

Ok cut crap. Don't wana spoil this post with my anger.

Kim Teck FINALLY is 23. Ho ho ho! A young baby in our group. A few more coming. We're celebrating birthdays like mad this year. One after another and it seems like every month there's once =.= We're so gonna be broke broke broken!

The birthday boy with the hamsap face wishing for erm......more money? Graduation perhaps? Hehehe =P

We got him a cake with frog face since he declared himself as Kapkiew (Frog in Hokkien) in Facebook. He does leap like one though. =P

The aftermath of wishing for too long! We think somehow he knows that we're gonna smash his face onto the cakes cos we actually prepared 2 cakes. One to eat and one cheap ones to play with. Hehehe =) That's what we do on almost every birthday didn't we? It's fun smashing people's face but not fun when it's your turn =D Luckily I manage to avoid mine. Wahahahaha! No revenge guys! No no no!

Teck was very nice to chia us 'sushi' with chocolate colored wasabi. Haha!

Nevertheless, it was still a fun night despite the disasters. Happy birthday brother!

Westlife Concert

2011-10-31T20:47:00.001+08:00

Remember I won Westlife Gravity Tour concert ticket from MixFM last month? Hehe Finally the time arrived after the long wait and I flew off to KL just to watch the concert and had myself a nice weekend getaway.

We flew off on Friday morning with bro YC. Nope he's not going to the concert but to attend a friend's wedding. He's such nice brother. Willing to fly there just to be 'brother'. Nice to have such awesome friend kan?

Anyway, our hotel was located at Puchong. It's called 101 Lake View Hotel. Sadly KLIA taxi counter staff doesn't know the place and charged us the price to Bukit Jalil =.= Oh did I mention we flew Fireflyz this time? First time and ah......I still prefer AirAsia's pilot =P

So after dumping our bags into the hotel room, we walked to iOi Mall which is just next to our hotel! How cool is that! You know when you travel, the best place would be having a shopping mall right next to your hotel. It's so convenient.

3 starved monkeys went straight to hunt for food. Wong Kwok Char Chan Teng was where we had our lunch. Not bad but I wonder why their 'char siew' is so dark. It's like charcoal! Oh and that's our drinks. I didn't know my drink is actually such huge glass, didn't manage to finish it and had to tapao.

I don't know what is this but sorry to say, I don't like it. I'm not choosy with food but maybe it's just the taste that I don't like.

After lunch, shop around for awhile then head back to hotel for a short nap so that I can be wide awake for the concert that night. Hehe =)

View from our hotel room. Honestly I quite like the room. It's very clean. Budget enough. But one thing I dislike is their door. They actually uses keys to look it and not cards. Not that safe lor.

Hailam Kopitiam is just below our hotel. So we had light dinner before heading out to the concert. It was so jam that night that our cab couldn't reach us on time. So we had to walk out to the main road and lucky enough, there were 2 cabs there on standby but they had to charge us extra due to the massive jam. Jam was caused by the concert =.='''

I WAS THERE! Stadium Putra. Ok epic stuff happened. Somehow these taxi drivers can be quite blur. He doesn't know where Stadium Putra is and thought it's the hockey stadium and dropped us there. Apparently Stadium Putra is like 1km away from the hockey stadium and we had to walk there! By the time we reached Stadium Putra, we were sweating like mad pig!

Our sweaty and tired face. So much for walking. Luckily I was in sneakers!

Concert only started at 9pm. I was sitting at the very last row facing them. Ugh! Sorry but I think the seating arrangement sucks. Those people who bought Gold tickets get to have a closer view than my Platinum tickets! And then there were signs that drinks and food were not allowed inside the stadium. So we went in without drinks and end up seeing so many other people with drinks in their hands! Mad mad mad! I was so pissed before the concert started. No camera? Everyone was with DSLR! No drinks? Everyone was holding a bottle! What type of organizer is this!

Ok enough of rant. THE CONCERT WAS AWESOME!! I shouted til almost lost my voice =P I nearly teared singing Flying Without Wings. Ahhhhh miss those childhood memories during primary school =) Concert ended at about 11pm. And again epic happened! We walked the wrong way out only to find ourselves going around the whole Stadium Nasional! Fail fail fail! Fail whale!

Luckily we didn't have to wait that long for cabs to arrive. Many didn't manage to catch a cab back cos they stayed too far but I think this is kinda unfair. I mean, you're a taxi driver, you're suppose to bring people everywhere right? And not choosing your destination. Oh Malaysian!

Day 2: Soul picked us up for breakfast and then dropped us at Sunway Pyramid. Shopped til noon and then took cab and went back to hotel. Nap. Eat. Movie. Sleep. =.='''

Day 3

Time to go back home =( I don't wana go homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! When Westlife sang the song "Home", I sang I don't wana go home! Haha! Ok cut story.

Early morning we went down to Hailam Kopitiam for breakfast then started to pack our stuff and wait for Soul to pick us up. I'm so glad I have someone nearby that can send us to airport. Hehehe =) Save taxi money. Wahahaha!

Soul brought us to Taipan for lunch. This coffee shop has awesome food!

This stall. REMEMBER THIS STALL!!! It's a MUST GO!!!! Seriously trust me the food is SUPERB! Ok maybe for me lah but still it's AWESOME!

This is what we ordered. I had only pork with rice while Soul had duck with spare parts and I don't know what else. It's cooked with herbs so the smell is great!

A photo before we left. Thank you so much for everything Soul! Owe you lots!

Til we meet again~ Ta!

Jar of Hearts...

2011-10-30T23:11:00.001+08:00

Today is the day....It's not something we all wanted. Not something anyone had been waiting for. But it had to be this way. The question is not 'What happened to us?' but one of us stop trying. Stop compromising. And gave up.

I'll remember the day I first met you. The day I first held your hand. The day we got together. The day we went for our first vacation. I'll remember them all. Memories left memories. What is past is past. I won't look back and regret what I did. I'll look back and be thankful for everything that happened. Because it made us grow.

There are good times and bad times. No one can avoid those. How will you ever see rainbow if there's no rain? How will you ever know the sun is shining when you didn't come out from your house? How will you know the city isn't far away when you didn't take the first step? How will you know?

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything that you gave me. Thank you for all the lessons taught. Thank you for being there when I needed someone. Thank you for forgiving me time and time again. Thank you for putting up with my behaviour. Thank you.

From now on, we will no longer walk hand in hand. But I only ask for us to walk side by side. Let it go, if it comes back, you will know. What is yours will forever be yours, what is not will never be no matter how hard you try. Life had got to move on. Live your day as it is. Seek for sunshine. Seek for happiness. Seek for the best. The best is out there meant for you.

Lastly, this is a song for myself. I just want you to know how I felt about myself all this while. I'm the one who had been collecting my jar of hearts......

Goodbye love.....Stay strong.....

Dance Me A Story

2011-10-30T17:56:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I finally got to meet Ms Serina of Studio23 in person! How excited! I've heard of Studio23 for long, have you? But the reason I didn't join is because I have always been a member of EarthDance Production. And I'm not a fan of belly dance. Love to watch the dance but don't wanna learn it for myself. Hehe =) So, what was the meet up about?

It's time for me to dance you a story.........

Ms Serina, the dance instructor has always been passionate about dancing ever since she was 8. She loves to watch musical and had pestered her mom since then. She went into ballet, belly dance, modern jazz and of course, the latest, Flamenco! She started Studio23 with her husband about 2years ago and also at the same time started all the planning and writing for her upcoming Dance Theatre event, Dance Me A Story.

It took her 1 year of learning choreographies, 3 months of intensive rehearsal and 2 auditions. Now the dancers are training almost everyday for the perfect night! Why is it called Dance Me A Story? Because a dance is not just for fun or a plain hobby but it can also deliver message to everyone through the dance moves. Ms Serina is trying to create a century for women through dances. Dance can be as a tool to make them feel good about themselves no matter their sizes or shapes.

Up til today Studio23 has about 100 dancers! Awesome right? These are part of the dancers who showed us a small part of their rehearsal. They are the belly dancers. There's gonna be 2 stories told through dance on that night. One is "An Arabian Fairytale" which is fun and light hearted. Believe me, most of the dancers are adults and some are mothers! It's really not easy for them to juggle from work and house chores with dances but they did it!

Commercial break: Mike decided to show us his 'skill' as *ahem* the 21st century Superman who uses a sword as balancing tool. Hahahaha!

Later, Ms Serina left us to her dancers. So of course, as bloggers equiped with nice DSLRs, we snapped as many photos as possible during their rehearsal, only to find ourselves disturbing them with our flash lights. Hehe =P

Sneak peek! Tell me that you are 40 years old and can still bend like that! I think I would have a hard time doing the belly dance moves =.=

Also, Studio23 is working very closely with the Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS). The major goal for this event is to highlight the problem of domestic violence. Ms Serina told us that as many as 1 out of 6 Malaysian women have been facing domestic violence in life and none of us are aware of this issue. Women is our mother, our wife, our best sister and of course, one who gives us life. So why the domestic violence???

So through the second story, "Stronger" will have a more serious theme of finding the inner strength of a women no matter what situation are they facing. The story will be performed through modern jazz and flamenco.

So, everyone please do support this event as it is Studio23's first dance theatre in Kuching. The whole event is self-sponsored. And if you are a women, do take this opportunity to watch the dance and gather your inner strength!

Dance Me A Story dance theatre will be held on 6th of November (Sunday) at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) which is just 8km away from city centre. Far? If I'm staying across the river and said it's not far, what's the reason for you to debate against me?

Need tickets? Ring up Eileen at 012-8053005 or send them an email at studio23kuching@gmail.com.

What are you waiting for? Tickets are VERY LIMITED!!!

Elizabeth Kiing Charity Dinner & Dance

2011-10-28T18:11:00.001+08:00

What did you do last Friday night? Partying like Katy Perry did? Or out on movies with friends? =) I had a great time with awesome ladies at a charity dinner. One which I cracked my head and almost tear down my wardrobe just to think of what to wear. Why? Because the dinner theme was 80s style! Hehe =)

Introduction:

Elizabeth Kiing, for the love of beads and more beads! Originally from Australia, living in Hong Kong, had expanded their business throughout the whole world! Never judge what small things like beads can bring you up aye? What takes to be successful is quality, workmanship and of course, after sales service. Now that they've reached Malaysia, let's take a look about their beads shall we?

Arrival of YB Yong Khoon Seng just minutes after I reached. Phew I was almost late!

Hampers and awards ready to be presented to sponsors and winners =)

The bunch of photographers who would never stop clicking and flashing their lights whenever anyone walk pass. Made us all felt like celebrity. Ho ho ho!

There, all sorts of beads comes in forms of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. You named it, they have it! I don't normally accessorize myself so nope, I didn't buy any from there. =)

Some of them come in sets too. That way you wouldn't end up matching the wrong earrings with different color or pattern necklace.

A unique set of necklace which attracted me. Hmm..I was thinking of using it for something else =P

What's dinner without food right? Yes but I didn't take any photos of the food cos we're sharing our table with other people, so it would be rude to stop them from eating =P

Here comes the performance! Elvis Presley of Kuching. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

And then the fashion show of the beautiful beads.....

Another pretty model....

This is the exclusive dress of the night. Filled with so many beads that I got blinded =P It's a beautiful dress. I love the details on top. Ahhhhh!!!!

Another set of beads for wedding ceremony.

There, that's Elizabeth. The CEO of Elizabeth Kiing Beads & Accessories.

Oooo did I mention there's dance performance too? They're students of Swinburne University who were all from Africa. Awesome dance there!

Now we know how African dance is like =)

Commercial break: Spot this lil boy taking photos all over the place for the whole night using a DSLR!!! One which is so much better than mine. *gasp!* One cool kid!

Back to business. Guess who's on stage? Our pretty sweet Eve Dutchez won the Best Dressed Lady!!! I always look up to her when it comes to fashion and makeups. She's one awesome lady who knows her style and how to flaunt it! Go girl!

Tadah!

Ok beauty times!

The 4 striking ladies who shone the whole place that night because we're the only 4s that put all our efforts into matching with the theme! We're colorful aren't we? Hehe =P

So go seek Elizabeth Kiing in Google now. Oh wait! They do have a store here in Kuching! ONE JAYA!!!!!!! Go grab your favourite piece while stock last!

Best door gift I've ever received so far. Another charm bracelet added to my collection =D Give a girl a beautiful accessory and she'll smile for the whole night.

Colmar Tropicale @ Berjaya Hills

2011-10-25T21:57:00.000+08:00

Welcome to Colmar Tropicale at Berjaya Hills. This little French town belongs to Berjaya Group. Awesome mind to set up this beautiful town. I wonder whose idea was it to make it French. One word: Worthy!

We took the shuttle bus from Berjaya Hotel to Colmar Tropicale. Round trip per person is RM55. Everything else available on Google search. Hehe =P

A French clock by the entrance. It's 2 sided so I suppose one side is Malaysian time and the other is French? Didn't bother to ask about it.

Checked into our room. Always love huge mirror. Cos I can camwhore gao gao!

A little disappointed with our room cos ah well, people always do the trick using photos =.= Our room doesn't even have balcony!!! Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I love the bathroom! White means clean and neat and comfy!

Time for more photos. This orange building is our room block. There's different name for all different blocks. Don't bother asking, I forgot what's ours =.= Dragged too long to write this post equals to lost of memory.

A wishing well which no longer attracts me. Not a fan of wishing well. Make my wish to God is better.

Stage for performance when the sun sets.

More buildings.

And more sceneric view. There's very limited stores for souvenir purchase or any other stuff. Therefore I didn't buy anything back. Save money!

The blue building is the registration lobby. We got lost and had to ask where to register for our room =.=

A view from the top of the viewpoint. Nice kan? How I wish I can design my house's exterior this way. Sure striking!

Smile for photo! Luckily there was a couple there, else no one to help us take photo. Ho ho ho!

Hmm....I kinda like this photo. Not knowing why. The color maybe...

That's the bridge connecting the carpark to the town. It's like entering a castle!!!

And they have pond with beautiful swans underneath.

And a pair of black swans which refused to swim together =.=

I'm pretty I know. Kthxbai!

While waiting for the free shuttle bus to bring us to Japanese Village, took the short time to snap a photo. Mini roundabout =P

Welcome to the Japanese Village. The first village above I-don't-know how many metres from sea level. And yes I have an addiction of taking waterfalls this way =.=

This is the so-called main section of Japanese Village. Can only enter if you are renting the kimono. So I'm not going in. There's another small hut for photograph session, a restaurant and a mini souvenir shop. That's all. Nothing much worth to see here.

And yet we have to WALK up this steep road =.=''' It took all my breath and strength and stamina and energy to walk up only to end up with disappointment. Ugh!

Back to French town.

It was about 4pm and my energy were all drained out by that walk up Jap Village so we went to this lil bakery for some tea break. This is chicken curry puff. Yum! It's delicious! Really! Man now I miss it =(

Later we went back to our room and nap til dinner time.

Dinner's served! Had Italian dinner instead of French cos the French restaurant only serves red wine and no other beverage. So we had very limited choice. There's only one French restaurant, one Italian restaurant, one local ayam penyet restaurant, one bakery and one cafe for our buffet breakfast. How limited!!!

Here's to bf's favourite pasta. The seafood type =)

I hear beef? I'm in! I can eat anything with beef. An all time beef lover!

Then took a few night shots. Ahhhh the place is absolutely beautiful after being lit by all the beautiful lights and made the whole town looked so romantic!

Love the atmosphere! It's rather cooling at night.

That's the viewpoint tower. Hehe =)

Oh did I mention there were performance by SUPER SEXY dancers? Absolutely HAWT!

The lucky guy was dragged up and danced with the two sexy pretty ladies!

Man I must say I love their performance and especially their bodies! You've got to see their abs. I REALLY need to get some exercise. *cakap je pandai!*

Next morning........

We went for horse riding!!!! RM25 per person for 10minutes. Ah whatever I'm all hype up for that ride so nothing's gonna stop me!

Why no white horse hor???

See we rode to Kuala Lumpur! Haha! If only lah~ *slaps self!*

YESH!!!! Finally a horse ride after er......17years? Man I feel so old.

Gugugaga me love horsey rides!

Conclusion, I love this little French town for their awesome buildings and for the horse ride. Not for the food though. I'll think twice if anyone were to ask me go again. =) Ta!

i-City Shah Alam

2011-10-15T13:51:00.002+08:00

i-City, a city of lights and magic I called it. Located at border of Shah Alam and Klang. A wonderful place for everyone be it couples or children or parents. A place I wish to dream of every night. A place I don't wanna leave.....

The view from carpark. This is just part of the place. And it's just the beginning of wonderland...

There's a free theatre for everyone to enjoy free movies screen at all time. No chairs provided so you can laze around on the floor =) Nice concept! Love the architecture too!

The golden tree in front of the theatre. Money tree? Hehehe =D

Lanterns made the whole street feels like Chinese New Year. Not that I'm a fan of CNY but hey lanterns are beautiful stuff!

And then there's the Christmas feel too. With dangling tubes all around the trees and magical unicorn around it. Isn't that Christmas? =) Now I love Christmas! Best holiday ever!

Oh and there's mini Christmas trees lighted up with Christmas's colors! They're shorter than me so nah I'm not gonna make myself stand in this picture and end up looking like a giant =.=

This is the main part. The centre of attraction. The tall beautifully lit trees! Name me a color and you'll find it there. Beautiful isn't it?

Wanted to take all the colors one by one but end up getting attracted to other pretty stuff.

Money? Hehehehe =P~

They even provided a ride high up so you can view it from top. It's not that high though. Reach up to half the tree I think. But I prefer to walk around and look up like I'm looking up into paradise =)

A beautiful shot by Soul. Yeap he brought us there. Aiya there's a stranger in this photo =.= Can anyone teach me how to remove that guy from this photo?

And there goes my macro addiction......

Can I wish upon these beautiful leaves and set them free like doves into the sky?

They're just sooooooo beautiful that words cannot express my feelings that night......

Oh and they even have merry-go-round! I miss this. Hehehe =) This is another shot by Soul. He's also a camera addict so yeah my camera was being raped by him. Hahaha!

And then this is another part of the place. This part is where all the locals will take out those blingy lights and tubes and toys to attract kids who then will bug their parents to buy it for them. I wanted to buy too. For Clarice of course. Hehe =) But end up going back empty handed. A lil regret. Hmm.....next time then.

Mate and Soul with the peacock. Eh terbalik =.= This photo is so dark but I refuse to lighten it cos wanna keep those beautiful orangey and greenish lights.

Not only they have peacocks, they have swans too! Angelic swans!

Lastly, my favourite photo of the night.

Til we meet again i-City. I'll be back for more photography shots.

A wonderland that I will forever remember.....

Sarawak Pepper

2011-10-14T23:20:00.002+08:00

A week ago, I flew KL another time for Westlife concert. Gahhhhh I know I'm flying like mad girl here. But hey it's fun! Maybe I should do it more often =P~

So this time it was only a 3 days 2 nights trip. Short weekend getaway. Anyway, previous trip I didn't get anything for Soul cos I forgot =.= What a Mate. So I text him few days earlier to ask if he wanted anything from Kuching. He said some pepper would be good.

And being a SUPER SAKAI girl of Kuching. I dare to admit, I never bought pepper before. Sad kan? I don't know where to buy and don't know the price and I didn't even know there's actually black pepper and white pepper. And then they come in powder and seed. I went blank when my colleagues asked me what type of pepper I want. *gasp!*

Immediately I text Soul again to get him to ask his mom about it. And white pepper was it! One problem solved. Another problem, where do I get to buy pepper? I was thinking India Street must have but that area is super pack and I hated it much. Thank goodness bf told me about a shop at Petanak area called Chai Fo Pien. Convenient for me cos it's just behind my office. But bad cos they didn't open until evening. So I had to get up early to buy =.=

Reluctantly on Thursday morning I woke up half an hour earlier, rushed myself to shower and breakfast then head down to Petanak shop. The dumbest thing happened there.

Girl: Mau cari apa

Me: Pepper....er......... *blank!*

Girl: Apa?

Me: Er.......*brain think brain!!!* Lada!

Girl: Lada? Lada apa?

Me: *shit!* Lada powder!

Girl: Ha? (went to ask another girl)

Girl 2: Lada? Lada tepung ka?

Me: Yayayaya!!!! *nodding head like dumbass!*

I feel SUPER STUPID at that moment =.=''' So in the end I bought 2 packets of white pepper powder. My first experience of buying pepper went down the drain.

There you go. RM9 each packet. Man I feel so ashamed of being a Sarawakian and yet never bought pepper in my whole 23 years of life!

Ing's Convocation

2011-10-14T21:56:00.001+08:00

2 weeks ago I flew all the way to KL just to attend my beloved cousin Ing's convo. Yes specially for her. All because she's more than a cousin to me. My sister for life! So I told myself that I must go for this. Booked my ticket, arranged accomodation and off I went.

Ing graduated from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia as a Otolaryngologists. A name super hard to remember =.= They specialized in ear, nose and throat. So yes, there goes another doctor in the family as her brother is also a doctor. Hehe =) How I wish I have half her smartness.

A group photo with her siblings and soon-to-be sister-in-law. Haha! UKM was filled with joy and laughter and of course, people mountain people sea. It's so hard to capture a photo without a stranger in the background. There's no empty space at all! Oh and we got her that purple roses with Chip, the smarter brother of Chip and Dale. Haha! But too bad she lost it *sad*

A day filled with happiness. No words can explain my feelings when I was standing there, in the midst of smart students. Everyone happily walking around holding flowers, toys, balloons, cameras. A day no one will ever forget. A day to remember for the rest of their lives.

A group photo of Ing with her coursemate and some of her juniors. Practically all the seniors and juniors were all there to celebrate it with them. The BIG day!

This is what I love most during graduation day! Awesome! I'm so proud of Ing. I'm really happy for her now that she'd graduated, she shall be addressed as Doctor Tan! =D

6 days in KL. What else did I do? Shopping of course!!! I visited Berjaya Hills aka Colmar Tropicale and also iCity at Shah Alam. Will blog separately about that later. Let's see what have I got myself this time....

Nope this is not mine. I don't play these toys. I'm not a lil boy. But my bf is. Haha! He was so happy to found this piece selling cheap at Times Square. Irresistible, he bought it right away.

As for me, this is the sole item that made me broke but happy. Yes I'm happy to be broke. Not only broke but broken bankrupt! 4000pieces jigsaw puzzle with the picture of 12 zodiacs altogether. Man this definitely show how much I love zodiacs. Got this from Fahrenheit88 ground floor. Try guessing how much I got this =) No prize though. Haha! I'm gonna save money and go back to that shop for the 24000pieces jigsaw puzzle! The world known second largest jigsaw puzzle! I'm so gonna get my hands onto that one day.

Ahhhh......this......try guessing it anyone? Hehehe I heard it's a popular place for dining. No matter what time you visit this shop, it's forever this pack. This place is called Murni located at SS2. Sakai like me will be 'huh where's that' but apparently it's very famous among my friends! Soul brought me and bf there for dinner, the night we visited iCity. Yes I got a driver at KL. Ho ho ho!

Our drinks. That's my Ribena lemon + longan which in the end, my longan turned purple =.= So gg.

Mee Utara as called by them. SUPER spicy! Probably cos I accidentally bitten the green chilli. Dumbass! I thought it was vege at first but I end up biting on a piece of chilli. Argh! That spoilt my whole meal. And mind you the portion is HUGE! You might want to try out this place. Tons of food for you to choose. I might wanna go back to try out their roti =)

A peek of iCity. Photo taken with my HTC cos I wanted to show mum where was I. Hehehe =) Pretty no? I fell in love with this place when I first saw the photos on Facebook. I know I must go there!

Lastly, a photo of me. Hi, long time no see! I know I'm fatter now cos I no longer exercise and eat like a whale. Thank you. But I'm trying to maintain my weight.

Will blog about other stuff maybe tomorrow. Have a fun weekend ahead!

Bausch&Lomb and Garnier

2011-10-12T21:42:00.001+08:00

Elo~ Yes I'm still alive. Have yet to reach my expiry date. I'm just busy and lazy to edit photos to blog. Way too many photos to choose from and edit them. Just got back from Westlife concert last Sunday. It's more than just awesome. It's the BEST I've been to! But too bad I can't zoom far enough to capture their face. Will talk bout that later.

I'm so exhausted these few days. I'm already down with flu and cough and had to skip swimming lesson yesterday cos it was raining also. Ugh! I have so much to blog about but without photos, no blog post is interesting so you shall wait ok?

Here's a short update:

I finally got myself a set of contact lens when I was shopping at Times Square. Optic shops were having major sales. No idea why. So I walked into a random shop and asked for contact lens. My eyesight is getting worse that I can't really see people's face when I'm shopping if I'm not wearing my specs. I dislike my new specs cos it's heavy and always slid down my nose. So I decided to get a set of contact lens to try.

The sales girl introduced this brand for me. Bausch & Lomb. Heard of it before? I do. From Milkadeal. Haha! Anyway, the actual price as you can see is RM60 for 6 pieces inside, but because they're having sales, I got it for RM50 and the girl was so nice that she actually gave me a daily contact lens and asked me to try it out first, if I'm not comfortable, can always bring it back to change.

So I did. Brought it back the day after and changed my degree. Previously she gave me 3.75 and I went dizzy for half the day =.= Now I'm using it whenever I go out at night. It feels so good to be able to see things clearly. Heeeee~

And this, needless to say, the storage solution for contact lens. I didn't know there's so many types of solutions available. Nearly got lost in that section. Man these stuff are complicated. Even more complicated than a woman. There's instructions on before you put on contact lens and after you took it out. And then there's solution for wash and for wet and for storage. Zzzzzzz.........

Since I'm the super lazy person, I bought this one which is all in one. Hahahaha! Easy what. Don't need so many bottles. Buy one enough. Save money save water save space save everything!

Garnier Aqua Defense! I'm sure everyone have seen the adverts on tv. My moisturizer ran out last month and I know I must get one. I was using Thalgo but then it's way too expensive to get another one, so I went to dig around Watson's face care area. Someone who is stingy like me will opt for something cheap and good. Lucky for me, Garnier was on sale and I got this moisturizer for only RM14+. Cheap leh~

Just started using it. Not sure how good is it but it's in gel form. Absorbs quite quickly onto skin. Smooth texture. Good smell. I'll update if there's any changes towards my skin. Ho ho ho~

Ok it's late and I gotta hit the sack. Medicine kills my soberness. Ta~

Mini Cross Stitch

2011-09-22T20:42:00.000+08:00

Ahhhhhh tomorrow is Friday for everyone and it's FLYDAY for me!!! =D Gonna be offline for about a week. Off to elsewhere =P~

Here I am, looking pathetically at my blog archive which is only 4 posts for September and so I got desperate to blog something. Anything. As long there's something. Just to add one more post =.= So I dug up SUPER OLD photos to blog. Something I left out for quite some time already because I was just way too lazy to transfer it from my old Nokia which is now dead. Only until it is dead that I am willing to take out the memory card.

Ok let me start telling story.

In case you haven't know, I love doing cross stitch. I have done 3 cross stitches. Big version. The round rattan type. That's the beginner type. I was so hardworking to do those stitches back when I was in Form1. But haven't do it for er.....10years? I love to stitch and sew with hands. I don't like sewing machine. I don't know how to use it. I hate how I need to paddle with my feet and at the same time turn the wheel. It's like driving a car, except that it doesn't bring you to other place. So no, I don't know how to sew using a sewing machine. I only sew with my hands =D

Last year, yes last year, I know it's a year ago, but at least now I remember it's actually last year. I took out this small cross stitch pack that I got for free from somewhere. I can't remember well but I think it's from the catalogue thing that I used to order. A business girl in school. Haha! Earning every cents from that order =P~

Ok continue, last year I took out this cross stitch pack and brought it to office to stitch it up. I was way too free at office that I can do cross stitch. Want to take over my job?

This is the cross stitch that I stitched. It's tiny. It's seriously hard for me to do it cos the strings are so thin and the net's hole is so tiny that it can only fit a needle. I couldn't remember how long I took to finish this cross stitch. But it was fun! I'm so happy when I finally finished it. Hey! It's beautiful ok!

See how small is the cross stitch and how small are those stitches. My colleagues were saying that if they were the ones to do it, they will be juling already. Hahahahaha~

Oh did I mention it's actually a keychain? Yep I sew both of the stitches back to back and put the chain through the bigger hole on top. I gave the keychain to momma and said the girl is me and the boy is my brother. Hehe =)

Looking at these photos now make me feel like doing more cross stitches. Maybe I should buy one just to ease my itch. Will see how it goes when I do drop by those shops.

Tell me it's nice =P~

Magnum Movie Night 2011

2011-09-16T21:57:00.000+08:00

This is a super outdated post. I can't even remember when was the exact date I went for this movie date. It's a movie night fully sponsored by Magnum. They have been doing this event at West Malaysia and it's their first time at East Malaysia. Super hype that they chose Kuching =D Else I wouldn't be able to watch FREE movie. Hehe =P~

The movie that they sponsored to us was Cowboys & Aliens. I love cowboys movies but I hate aliens movies. That's why I never watch Alien vs Predator. What's the thing with aliens anyway. They're gross and yucky and they don't even exist =.=

Movie starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. Nope I want to watch this movie not because of them. I don't think Daniel Craig is handsome and Harrison Ford is way too old for me. I want to watch this movie for the storyline itself =)

I don't know why but I love cowboys. I love their attires, their hats, their boots, their guns, their horses and how they can fight while riding on horses! That's my definition of manly man. Not the clean cut office man who is afraid to go hiking or explore every other parts of the world with me. OUT you go! =D

Some may say that the movie is just so-so only or that cowboys does not come in line with aliens but I think it's a great movie. I like how the director creates the 'home' of the aliens. It's cool eh! But I dislike the ending =( Why they can't be together worhhhhhhhhh *cries*

Ok back to reality. So I was told to collect the tickets at MBO from 7.30pm onwards and first 25 to collect will get Lucky Huat Zai Angpow! Can huat ah? Go early lah!!!

And when I thought I was early =.= I failed because that night Kuchingite turned out to be more punctual than ever. But then again you can never deny one thing: When there's FREE stuff, Kuchingite is as kiasu as everyone else so they will adjust their watch and be there before the said time. WooTz!

Met up with Kendrick. The funny cheerful wacky guy who called everyone up to confirm about our attendance and tickets. Nice fella~

And yes that's the prize of the 4D Jackpot! Don't know how to play the game? It's super easy.

Just buy 2(two) 4Digits numbers at a time, or you can even buy 3 or more at a time, and if the number comes out at 1st and 2nd place, then VOILA there goes your money from the Cai Shen Ye(God of Wealth)!

Yes I'm a gambler =P Not addicted but I do play around once in awhile, that's why I know how to play. Hehehehe

Freebies~~ Who doesn't love freebies please raise your hands and get lost =D Ladies have special offer. They gave us the Ladies Coupon to claim free gifts! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~ Not plainly claim lah, gotta buy some numbers mah. You think everything is free mehhh!!!

Last but not least, FREE popcorns and drinks! What's a movie without these essentials right?

I want to thank Magnum for giving me the opportunity to attend this Movie Night. Hopefully they will organize more events here at Kuching =)

Daughtry - September

2011-09-16T10:55:00.001+08:00

How the time passed away? All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on
We reach for something that's already gone

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
We would end up here the way we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

HTC Wildfire S

2011-09-14T19:55:00.000+08:00

I hereby welcome myself to the Green Robot gang!

Last Sunday morning, a date to remember, September 11th. Everyone have their own different memory for that date. Many remember it as the terrorist attack date, while some celebrate birthday and of course, my friend Siaw Wui finally got married on September 11th which is the same day as her birthday. Great choice of date indeed. Easier for the hubby to remember eh? Hehe

As for me, after much consideration and sleepless nights, I decided to get myself a new phone. An Android was my sole aim. I don't want iPhone cos it's way too expensive for me. Seriously I'm broke and very broken now =(

I've surveyed enough and told myself that it's best for me to get it from the centre itself. More sense of security installed. So which model did I get?

I'd mentioned on the earlier post that I'm so in love with Incredible S eh. Yes indeed when I saw the model there, I couldn't resist but to take another look at it. But oh it's so near yet so far cos the price gives me heart attack.

In the end, Wildfire S it is. Though many told me that I could have gotten better phone with that price, but oh well, I'm stubborn. Hehe =)

There, my new Green Robot in black sheep wool =P~ I'm not a fan of pink and I'm tired of getting white cover scratch and dirty so it's safer to get a black.

The salesperson, Liew was so kind to let me choose the cover. I'm a very clumsy person. My phone will get scratches easily. Even my watch got scratched very badly =( So I got myself a thicker cover with more protection. More expensive of course but it's FREE! Hehehehe =D

I'm satisfied with this phone so far. Well I do not use it for much. Only calls, sms and camera. There's lots of extra functions in there which I have yet to explore. I do hope this phone is gonna be with me for long term.

As for my Nokia 5300.......

This is the screen that I get whenever I turn on my phone and then I won't be able to press any button. The screen will forever stay there until I take the battery out by force =.= Sorry Nokia, our relationship had to end. I don't wish for it to but you went malfunction on me.

I'm still sad. Not because I had to spend RM1120 for a new phone although I'm broke-broken but there's so many contacts and precious msg'es left inside my Nokia =( Never will I throw away that phone. All those memories are too precious to be discarded.

Yes I bought my Wildfire S for RM1120. You might think that it's more expensive but I'm ok with the price. Plus it's more expensive cos there's a 2% charge as I was using my bf's credit card. Oh well, my loan shark is a good one. Lent me money without charges. Hehehe =) Thanks b!

FINALLY the tickets are here!!! I've been waiting for the calls from AMP radio wanting to know will they send the tickets to me or do I have to go to the studio to claim it myself. Finally the wait is over and lala I'm so happy today =D

The arrival of the tickets just made my whole gloomy week became bright shiny sky!

Yes I know I haven't blog about anything lately. Let's just put in point form for easier view.

1st - My CPU was diagnosed with PHD on the first day of Raya. So I had it hospitalized the next day and it's not back yet. Doctor said the damage is bad that I need to change the heart =( A vERy costly operation. But luckily my CPU still can recall back all the memories. No lost memory. Only lost of heartbeat.

2nd - Not such a great holiday I had. Storm came along with thunders and lightnings and then the whole night rain pour. Ugh it's bad and I don't want to mention it again.

3rd - And when I thought my poor CPU is doing well at the hospital, my Nokia decided to dump me =( Nokia refused to wake up after I put it into a deep sleep last Sunday afternoon. So that's how I lost a few contacts and important sms'es got stuck in Nokia's memory. Sigh.....Why oh why oh why~~~

4th - While CPU is still in hospital, I got my laptop from bf just to survive the week away. So while Nokia is in the morgue, I dug up my old Samsung E360. 2 days using it and was not a problem. Still receiving tweets like usual. Until................my 'coach' called me up all the way from Melbourne on Tuesday night that only I realized my Samsung is not in good condition. It's old already therefore it needs hearing aid. Sigh.....

You tell me lah. How to live my life like this? Doctor called up and said my CPU's operation will cost RM500. And then I'm going to KL this month end plus the Westlife concert getaway some more. How can I not be broke?

Been having dilemma for the past few days cos I don't know what phone should I get. I fell in love with Incredible ~~Hulk~~ S but it's way too expensive for me. Still in midst of dilemma now. Any help? I'm way out of budget right now. So I do not know what phone is suitable for me =(

Anyway, this Sat I'm going to survey around Saberkas. Hopefully to come with a basket full of fruits. Will blog again when my CPU comes home.

Westlife Gravity Tour 2011 by MixFM

2011-08-26T20:38:00.000+08:00

Hello MALAYSIA! Hehehe =D I'm the happiest girl on Earth yesterday! Ok maybe not the happiest but I am happy!!! I was so happy that I smiled the whole day, replay the images in my mind, tell everyone about it and now I'm gonna blog about it! So be ready for my awesomeness!

First of all, I need to say tons and tons of thank you to MixFM for making my wish came true. I wouldn't be so hype if it wasn't for them. It's like I had to wait a decade for this and I wasn't putting much hope but the gift came! It's almost a lifetime opportunity for Kuchingite like m =P~ *macam kahwin je* Ok maybe it is as happy as getting married. Haha! So yes, thank you to the whole MixFM crew and also to the sponsors =D

So what did MixFM do to me that make me hype until today?

None other than giving me 2 FREE TICKETS to watch WESTLIFE LIVE IN BUKIT JALIL!!!!!

YES you heard it right. I AM GOING TO WATCH WESTLIFE'S CONCERT LIVE IN STADIUM BUKIT JALIL!!! What more can you ask for when your childhood fantasies are all becoming a reality right in front of your eyes. Ladies, tell me you do not like Westlife =) And then give me your tickets. Haha!

I was asked by Ryan, the Mix announcer who was on air yesterday, "How much of a big fan are you of Westlife". How to measure my love towards them? Haha! I've been listening to their songs ever since they started. Yes of course they're cute =P~ But they're good at singing too.

Although some may tell me that they're not original because they only sing other people's songs, but who don't? Everyone will take back songs from the 60s', edit a little of the tune, and then sing it out loud. So why judge? =)

Second album: Coast to Coast. Awesome songs like 'My Love', 'I Lay My Love On You', 'Coast to Coast' and many others were produced. Now those are not old songs right? =D

They started with 5 members. Namely Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Brian Mcfadden. Then towards year 2004, Brian decided to quit Westlife because of some personal matters. Then I didn't follow his news anymore. After he left, Westlife went a little quiet for awhile. But they made a came back with their 6th album: Allow Us To Be Frank.

Now they're here in Malaysia with their 11th album tour! The Gravity Tour!!! Awesome!

Now now now....let's get back and be a lil girl. Everyone always choose one member out of the whole group to be their favourite one. So who's mine? =D

It's the charming Nicky Byrne! Let's do a lil profile check-ups.

Fullname: Nicholas Bernard James Adam Byrne
DOB: 9th October 1978 (Libra)
Place of Birth: Baydoyle, Dublin, Ireland (Ok I'm determine to visit Dublin one day)

Previous Job: Footballer, Goalkeeper of Leeds Utd

Favourite Football Team: Manchester United! (Now that could be another reason for me to love ManU)

Favourite Band: Boyzone

Favourite Animals: Dogs and Horses

Need more? Go Google lah! =D

A compilation of their overall 11 albums! I can't wait to meet them on 7th October at Bukit Jalil. The thoughts of being in front of them or rather, them being in front of me is making me smile to myself every minute. I'm already thinking what to wear! =D

Should I bring my poster there? Should I bring the old cassette's cover for them to sign? Should I get a shirt there for them to sign on? Or should I do something else? HELP I'M OVERREACTING!

Alright I better stop staring at Nicky's wallpaper and focus on my bf who is in webcam now. Haha! Maybe I should set my monitor's wallpaper to Westlife's poster. Hmm.....Good idea. Will do that.

To all of you out there who won the tickets through MixFM, hope to see you guys there too! Can't waittttttttttttttttttt!!!!!

Mummy's Birthday 2011

2011-08-25T22:06:00.000+08:00

22nd August marks my momma's birthday! So last Sunday, I came up with the idea of baking her a cake since now that I can bake. Hehe =)

Bf came over to help me out with baking. I baked banana cake for mom. Why banana cake? Not because my mom loves it but my brother asked for it. Haha! At least I know someone will help to finish the cake =D Mom does not have the banana cake recipe so I went onto Google. I really have to appreciate Google more now that I can find almost anything on it.

Baking banana cake is as easy as baking butter cake. Almost the same recipe except to reduce on the butter and add in bananas. I even add half teaspoon of banana essence so that the cake smells much yummy!

The cake ready to be put into oven. Baking time was about 50minutes.

The cake fresh from oven. Smells really good!! I love baking because when the aroma comes out from the oven, it will fill your whole house with the sweet taste!

After that, I let it cool off and then started off with my decorations. My own idea. Hehe =) I can be creative you know. Hahaha =P~

Banana cake with melted chocolates and fresh bananas toppings~~ Had to store it in the fridge of course. Was suppose to surprise mom during dinner but she went to the fridge when she got home and found it inside. Hahaha! Next time I'm gonna need a mini fridge in my room! =D

Momma happy with the cake I baked! I mean me and bf baked it together. Hehe =) She still asked me "You baked this??? So pandai???" =) Mom! I've got your baking genes~

And you thought that's all that I gave to my mom? That's only the first gift for the night before her birthday. I have something else hidden to be shown to her on the actual day. Which is.....................................

My LCCI Diploma in Accounting result of course! Tadah! I FINALLY passed all 3 subjects! Not only passed but I passed with DISTINCTION! Beat that! =P~

I got my result 3 days before mom's birthday and it's real hard to keep the happy news from her. Hehehe =) I'm really proud of my own result although I could have gotten full distinction but it's alright. It's over now. Why am I so proud?

I deserved to be proud. I failed few times in my CAT last time and then I decided to quit studies. Until I got hit by the fact that I'm useless without a cert, I saved money and registered myself into Sunway College Kuching. Paid every single cent on my own. Registration fees, school fees and exam fees. Every single expenses on my own! My first two level I managed to pass with distinction too. So tell me why can't I be proud of myself? =)

MOMMA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!

Kuching Festival 2011

2011-08-18T21:02:00.000+08:00

Slurps! I just had the most awesome food ever! The famous fried durian from Kuching Festival this year. My mom actually went there at 4.50pm and waited until 7.30pm til they arrive!!! Love my mama! Hehehe =) Pics will be up in next post.

As for this post, it's one of the awesome moment of my life! My first time capturing fireworks with my Nikon. Yes it's superb! I mesmerized myself with my own photos. Haha!

All this years, I have never gone to Kuching Fest on the first night because I know there's gonna be lots of people there so I'll always wait until the second week then I'll go. Hehehe =) But not this year! I was determined to shoot fireworks which will be displayed on the first night because our CM is gonna be there to launch the fest.

Surprise surprise bf was ok with my idea. So off we went to Kuching Fest on the first night. Parked super far away though we were there quite early. My sole mission was to capture as many shots of fireworks as possible. But I was way too excited days before that I forgot what settings should I use! On immediate, I msg'ed Sifu! Hehehe =D Again, thank you Sifu for your advice!

Here's the stage and few loyal citizens waiting patiently for CM to arrive. Half an hour late =.=''' I'm standing at the limit line. Can't go any nearer to the stage. Another reason to get a zoom lens.

While waiting for CM to finish his speech, I wandered off to snap a few stuff around. This photo is blur but I love the reflection on the water and how the bulbs look much nicer than when it is sharp. =P~ Ada romantic feel mo? Haha!

And the launch starts! First shot was to the Kuching Festival 2011 words. I had a hard time trying to capture the words. It just won't work =( Sifu! How to shoot the words with the fire on?

Ok let's view through my firework shots =) I'm happy! My blog does not do the photos well. They look super awesome on my monitor full screen. Haha!

Red pair.

Bursting red.

Twister!

Slow reflection.

Green!

Awesome burst!

I still have alot more to learn about capturing fireworks. This first time experience is real good. I feel great! Hehehe =) And fyi, I was without tripod. Haha! My knee and elbow were my tripod that night.

Cupcake from Lof Bakery

2011-08-15T19:56:00.000+08:00

Yesterday bf surprised me with 2 awesome cupcakes which reminds me of Big Apple Donuts. Why? You look at the decor and tell me that it does not remind you of one of the donut's decor. Hehehe =) He bought these 2 cuppy cakes from the newly opened bakery located at Brighton Square, Jalan Song. It's just right next to Flinders.

Of course I wouldn't know the price cos I'm not the one who bought it. As for the taste, it's just right. Not too sweet and the cake is soft enough. Yummeh!

Thanks b!

3rd Blog Header

2011-08-14T01:22:00.000+08:00

YES I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I awesomely edited my own blog header for the very first time! Damnit it feels so good to be able to edit the whole thing!!! I was already giving up and asking for help. But knowing me, I don't give up even after I asked for help. In the end, I did it!

Of course, many thanks to Jim for helping me out. Hehehehe =D He's the only photo editor that I found online at 12 midnight. Hahahaha! Kesian kena dragged into this matter =P

Anyway I'm happy! A great ending for Saturday night and an awesome start for a Sunday~ Good weekend I had didn't I? Hehehe =)

Oh yeah! Photo credits to Edmund. I was thinking who was the one who took that photo until I remembered, who else but the one who had been taking my photos for years? Soul mate is what I call him. Lovely~

Alright! Nights all!

My 23 Years Old Toothy

2011-08-13T23:42:00.000+08:00

On the first day of Kuching Festival 2011, I went to the dentist that morning to extract my tooth that had been causing me not only headaches and toothaches but also wallet-ache. =.= I'd spent so much on this tooth. Trying my very best to keep it alive. But nothing seems to work well for me.

It's been 23years. I never knew it. Only last year when I went to the dentist, he told me this tooth of mine is still the baby tooth! Surprise surprise! I went home to check on my dental report card, yeap! It's never been extracted before! I remember I used to like it when the dentists visit our school. First cos I get to have FREE dental checkups. Second cos dentist always said my teeth are good! Hehehehe =) Proud user of Colgate! Haha!

Anyway, it's been 23years. Tons of stuff must have happened to the tooth without me knowing it. The side started to crack and then the hole became bigger and bigger. Sob.....

It hurts when I eat, it hurts when I brush my teeth, it hurts even more when I finally decided to extract it. Sorry am being a lil too emotional here.

So here goes, bye bye toothy! You'd served me well for 23years! I asked the dentist for my tooth back. Hehehe =) Ada kam cheng marh!! Now I'm still thinking whether or not should I throw it away. Hmm......

Hi! I'm still alive!

I know I've abandoned my blog for weeks now. I'm just way too lazy to take picture of stuff and then transfer into pc. The thoughts of needing to choose the perfect photos from the hundreds I've taken at Kuching Festival this year, is so tiring. Then the editing session is needed. Oh my laziness is killing me!

So much had happened in my life lately. Stories which I can't put them into words here. Hmm....How to do a locked post? I need to speak out but I can only tweet. Nowadays tweeting doesn't really give me that much freedom anymore. When I have nowhere to brag, I'll just die a little bit more inside of me.

I have 3 pending posts to do but without photos, my posts will be just another random post. So I shall wait until the day when I feel hardworking again.

By the way, have any of you been to Kuching Fest? I heard the fried durian this year is the must-buys. I saw people queuing for it the other night but I didn't queue. The following night when I went back, at 8pm, the fried durian is sold out =.=''' I think I'll find a day to go there right after work just to buy it. Wonder how good it tastes. I still love the durian puff from last year. Glad that it's still available this year. Bought it everytime I went =P Been there for 3 times already. Enough of Taiwan sausages for me.

Also, it's the Ramadhan month. How are you all doing? I always love the Ramadhan bazaar. So many things to see and buy. I'd missed it 4years already. When I was working at ING, I went there almost everyday during lunch hour. Awesome food they've got there. But now that my workplace is far south, I haven't have the time to visit any of the bazaar. But this weekend, bf is bringing me to one of the Ramadhan buffet. Hopefully the food there is as nice as those at the bazaar =)

Anyway, gotta go before I got slammed at the face for bragging. Til we meet again~

The Band Perry - If I Die Young

2011-07-27T19:27:00.000+08:00

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Shaggy - It Wasn't Me

2011-07-17T22:12:00.001+08:00

(Yo', man) Yo'
(Open up, man) What do you want, man?
(My girl just caught me) You let her catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen) With who?
(The girl next door, you know) Man
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor

How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

How you can grant the woman access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say a night, convince her say a day
Never admit to a word when she say makes a claim
And you tell her baby no way

But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)

She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream geting louder (It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor

I had tried to keep her
From what she was about to see
Why should she believe me
When I told her it wasn't me

Make sure she knows it's not you and lead her on the right prefix
Whenever you should see her make the giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seeing is believing so you better change your specs
You know she not gonna be worrying bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then she'll go to noontime mass
Wait for your answer: go over there
But if she pack a gun you know you better run fast

But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)

She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor

How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

Gonna tell her that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
I've been listening to your reasoning
It makes no sense at all
We should tell her that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why I sing

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor

How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

Butter Cake

2011-07-17T18:46:00.000+08:00

It's a baking Sunday!!! Yep I went back to baking. Hehe =) I used to love baking so much cos I helped out my mom with baking when I was lil. Brings back old memories back at the shophouse we stayed. Mom will be the one weighing all the ingredients needed and doing the mixture while I'll help with beating the egg whites. Hehehe =D

I enjoy baking but I just dislike cleaning up. Haha! Who likes to clean up anyway =P

So, last week I asked mom for the butter cake recipe. Then I got all the ingredients except for the baking sheet and flour. So I asked for mom's help to get those ingredients. Mom is awesome when I'm lost.

Today bf came over to help me with baking. It's my first time baking a cake without mom around to tell me what to do and how to do it. Cos I'm so used to baking that I already know how to mix the ingredients and how it should look like after the mixture so it's my turn to ask bf help with beating the egg whites. Hahaha!

After about one and a half hour of preparation, the cake is ready to bake!

Mixture of sugar, butter, egg yolks, flour and lastly egg whites! This was put into the oven and baked for an hour. Had to constantly check it after 45mins of baking just to make sure it's not over-baked.

One hour later. The yummy aroma filled my whole house. Bet my neighbours are slurping away. Hahaha!

A lil overbaked at the side but the center of the cake is just right.

Time for nom nom nom!!! Want a bite? Hehehe~

Til my next baking session~ Not giving out recipe cos it's my mom's recipe =P All you have to do is just google it up~ Hehehehe

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future.

Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that everything went down the drain. Not because I couldn't score my CAT but because that stupid love life screwed my life! If you were to ask me what do I regret most in my life so far? I will say it's that stupid decision back then. How foolish I was to thought that it's the right love. Oh love sucks! Anyway, my college life was screwed the minute I met that person. Everything seriously went down and down and down to hell. Eventually I quit the course and went to work. I had 9 subjects. Passed 4. Failed 2. The rest I didn't even bother to sit for them cos I quit myself.

And after a year and a half working with 2 different companies, I realized I wanted to go back to study. Yeah I got sacked from my previous company due to management stuff. Oh bad luck! My life wasn't that perfect you know. Even my blog was controlled by my previous employer. How sheesh was that? Nevertheless, I do not want to dirty my blog with those stuff so I did erase those blog posts off. So after I got sacked what did I do? I cringed at home for 2 months. 2 freaking months which was supposed to be the notice of termination period. During that 2 months, I told myself that I must go back to study cos certificate is important. Yeah it is indeed important in my family. Pressure is everywhere when you see 30 of your close cousins going into medical, engineering, accounting and are all doing very fine except for me who suck so much that my highest achievement was just SPM.

So then I enrolled myself into Sunway College Kuching and took the LCCI course. I told myself that I must study and get that damn cert. So I did. I made a few friends. I kept things to myself. Not socializing with people just so I can focus in class. Level 1 I passed with distinction. Proud of course and it is expected. Level 2 again I passed with distinction. This time 3 of my friends quit. Those were the only 3 I talked to. Oh wait there's another girl. Yeah she accompanied me until Level 3. Now we're just sulking here and waiting for our result which will only be out by August or September. I said I must graduate. And I know I will this time. But then, it's just a Diploma. How much can you get from a Diploma?

Back to my career. It's been 2 years since I started to work with this legal firm. I've got a very nice boss. Except that she can be a lil stingy. Which boss isn't kan? But she's nice. My colleagues are ok too. We get along as time passed. But it's already 2 years and my course is finish. The reason I stick to this boring job is cos it's so free that I can study in office. It's a really free job. Plus, I get my own room. So I can do anything I want there. Of course provided my work is done. Now I have a problem.

My goal to get a Diploma is done. What's next?

I don't know. I really do not know what to do next. After working from 8 to 5 everyday for 2 years, I'm kinda sick with this working hour and the hours I wasted in office doing nothing. I can't online. So there's lots of stuff that I can't do. Unless those stuff doesn't require internet connection. Everyone had been telling me to get a job with accounting firm, or work as accounts related post in any trading company. All of these spells BORING! I get bored easily. I can't do schedule stuff well. When I get bored, I go astray. I'll find a way to have fun. But my brain is stuck now that I do not know what kind of fun way can I get with my future career? I don't want to keep changing job after 2 to 3 years in a firm. I want something that can last me til I retire probably?

I did found something. I found tourism. Remember last year I had a family vacation to China and Hong Kong? Yeah only until last year that I realized there's a job called tour leader. And the job is easy. It's as if one gets paid to travel. Except with more responsibilities and a few stranger as company. People said I'm tall and I should go for air stewardess. But problem is, I do not want to serve people on air and I do not like aeroplane. I dislike the smell and the pressure. My blood pressure is near to low so yes I get dizzy all the time.

Back to topic. I went to ask about the tourism course. It's not the normal tourism course that every college or university offers. It's the tour leader course that I'm looking for. And I found one. Located at Jalan Tun Jugah Kuching. It's the Global Institute of Tourism. But what a cold water splash disappointment. The course is not available at Kuching yet. Only available at West Malaysia. Ok going to West Malaysia to study is a problem to me. Oh that's gonna link to another problem and I won't finish talking here.

The problem. I have a brother. Only 14 years old. He does not help with house chores, is very lazy, and do not know how to take care of mom. My pap is working at West Msia. While mom is here with us but as time passed, she aged and her health is already not at its best. Now that is the reason why I can't leave home. What if something happens? Who's gonna drive them around? Who's gonna help my mom with so many house chores? Ok I'm lazy too. But at least I helped when it's laundry time and cooking and washing the dishes. My bro? He helps when he's in the mood and most of the time? He's not in a good mood. So you can expect how life is gonna be like if I'm away and only left mom and bro at home.

Yes I know I said I wanted to be a tour leader and that requires me to leave home every now and then. But if I do get that job, at least my pap can come back and work here cos I already can help to burden the financial side of the family. Mom kept telling me to work with my uncle once I got my cert but I do not want. I do not want to live a boring life. Not working from 8 to 5 everyday til I retire. No way! I need something that keeps me alive. Something that keeps me going on and on and on. Something which is on the road. But I can't do sales. I'm not tough enough for sales. I don't like to persuade people to buy things that they do not want.

So in the end I'm back to square one. Being lost and do not know what job I want next after I get my cert. There's no way I'm going to continue study ACCA cos it's way too tough and the salary at Kuching will only drown a chartered accountant.

I think I'm done crapping? Just wait til the next time I crap again and we'll see if I had done anything good to my current life. I want to post something that SelmC wrote on Facebook note just now but without permission I can't do it here. But I did share the notes on my wall so if you have my Fb then just go ahead and read it. It's 'Please don't stop the rain'.

Ipoh Town Kopitiam

2011-07-10T17:46:00.000+08:00

The weathers are so crazy these days! It's as if the sun had turned around and our country became the desert =.= Even staying home also it's so hot. What's best to do during a hot day? Yummeh ice cream? Or ice kacang? Hehehehe =)

I went for car wash!!! Looks like it's gonna be until tomorrow or the day after for the rain to come. And since my car haven't been showered thoroughly for long, I sent it for washy washy at B4 Ten car wash just opposite Betong Flat. Surprise surprise! I didn't know my dance teacher's dad opened his ice kacang stall there and named it Ah Yeo's Ice Kacang 2! Hehehehe =P Of course the one at Chung Hua No.3 primary school is still available. This second stall is under the management of his son. So now I get to enjoy ice kacang while waiting for my car to get washed~

After car wash, I wanted to go around the new shoplots at Stutong area cos I've never been there. I feel so sakai =.= There's so many things to see but I felt as if I'm walking into the shops around Matang area, if you get what I mean.

I love some improper meal on a lazy Sunday. Took my breakfast at 10am, had a light lunch at 12pm and then yummy tea break around 3pm. Hehehehe

Me and bf headed over to Ipoh Town at Brighton Square for some tea break session after loitering at Stutong. Didn't buy anything, Just wanna walk around.

Some nice toast, spring rolls, polo bun, ice plum juice and of course, when you're at Ipoh Town, how can you ever miss the white coffee kan? =)

Happy Sunday peeps~

Ling Loong Seafood at TopSpot

2011-07-08T22:08:00.000+08:00

Last weekend me and bf decided to celebrate our monthly anniversary at a special place. Nothing exquisite or expensive, neither is there candlelight or roses. Just a simple seafood meal and it's our first time having seafood meal together! Believe that! We never go for any seafood meal before. Well mainly because I'm not a big fan for seafood. But why this time? Only one reason: I craved for assam fish!!!

So one week before the dinner, we drafted our plan for the night. Get several options and then hit down to one. The famous Ling Loong Seafood located at TopSpot. We even wrote out the dishes that we wanted to order. Hehehe =)

As a first timer ordering seafood, we were kinda lost. Haha! It's funny how the order session went. I wanted so much for assam fish but I never bother what fish they use or how they even cook it. I only know I want assam fish! When the waitress asked, "What type of fish do you want?" we looked at each other and went blank! My eyes screamed for Help! Hahahaha! I think somehow the waitress realized it and gave us her choice of fish. LOL At that moment I felt like I'm such a fail housewife (Well that's what I always tell people). Hahahaha!

Here is my man! I love to see him in his white Polo shirt. Handsome max! Hehehehehe =P

First dish: Oat chicken. Ok this one is definitely a wrong choice! Not nice at all! The chicken is so hard that my teeth felt like they're gonna fall anytime soon =.=

Second dish: Baby kailan cooked with oyster sauce. Superb!!! I love how other people cook the baby kailan. I think their oyster sauce must be like super cheap =.='''

Main dish of the night: My assam fish!!!!!!!! Yummmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! It's a little too spicy and bf doesn't really like spicy food. So I told bf to finish off the baby kailan and the oat chicken while I'll finish this dish. Hahaha!

Result after one hour of finger licking good! Slurps~~~~

The meal is awesome especially the assam fish!!! Love it to the max!!! And hey it's not even expensive! I was expecting it near to 100rm since the portion is kinda huge but I was so shocked when the bill came. ONLY RM51!!!!! Man I'm so gonna go back for more!!! This time I'll order oat prawn instead. Haha!

Chicken wings are like the MUST-HAVES during barbecue. This time we have personal chef to cook for us. Ho ho ho! Means I can sit there and just wait for my food =D

Slurping? Man now that I'm looking at this photo, I do feel hungry! Ugh! You know it's best not to blog when you're hungry =.='''

There's even ikan bakar!!! But I didn't eat this cos this dish came out late and I need to go home cos it's weekday. Can't stay late =(

This is not a game session. Just Muscle Man trying to break the ice =D

Clarice sticks with me whole night. Haha! I'm so hype that I do not want to let her off. Kekekekeke Me love kids what!

Desktop Organizer

2011-06-23T20:40:00.000+08:00

I am messy.

But I love to be tidy.

But I am lazy.

Therefore my room is messy =.=

Yeah and mom said I'm a MBKS. Ish! I want to be tidy. I keep my office desk very vERy VERY TIDY!!! I always arrange things according to sizes and alphabets. But I just can't bother to do it at home. Ok part of my room is tidy. Um....like er......my accessories table! I put everything into a box and arrange them nicely.

But then again, most part of my room is messy. Hey if it's not messy then it's not my room! It's a hotel room! =D (that's what a lazy person always say)

So here is how my computer table looks like. I have lotsa papers. Be it forms or letters or rough papers or books or cards. I just dump everything there and let it be. It's been like that for years!!!

Until recently the amount of paper can no longer stand on it's own and I have nothing to hold it, I know it's time to get something from the stationary shop. So off I went to Think in Motion after browsing their online catalogue. Online catalogue is so user friendly! Me love!

This is call a desktop organizer *duh!* I'm so happy that it comes in the size that I wanted it to be and of course, so hype to see the color black available!!!

After minutes of tidying and sorting out everything that should and should not be on my table. I'm happy with the end result =) Who isn't? Heeee~~~

Everything neat and tidy. Ahhhh satisfaction is bliss! I no longer need to fuss over papers flying around my room~
