Valentine Surprises II

2012-02-15T20:15:00.002+08:00

So we had Valentine’s dinner. Think this is the second timewe actually had Valentine’s dinner on Valentine’s Day itself. Haha. Usually wewill delay the celebration to another day to avoid being ‘chopped’. But thisyear is different. Don’t ask me why because I don’t know myself.

Anyways we had our dinner at Saisaki, a Japanese buffetrestaurant. Sound familiar? Because it is the sister company of Shogun.

The first round. Super hungryyyy!

Valentine's special dish by Saisaki.

Looked nice! But... weird combination. Imagine fried salmon with strawberry. Urghh..

Babe's favourite dish of the day.

He called it a boat-like sushi

Itadakimasu!

This was how Babe look after being forced to take oyster =D

Before we left Saisaki, it's good to leave our traces here. Bee did it!

Courtesy from Saisaki

Babe got me pressie. Oh well, I kinda of expected it because I know Babe would somehow try to reciprocate. Haha.. But I was surprised anyhow! No, not about Babe giving me something, but the idea of gifts itself! Let's explore...

Very nice on the outside :)

Ohhh.. I see riddles.

Guess someone is trying to imitate me huh.. Hahaha xD

A "Bee Mine" card :)

Of course I felt it Baby.

And your drawings are cuteeee... I'm impressed!

Okay, so the game was on! I was not allowed to unwrap the gifts until I was able to guess what are the contents following the understanding of the riddles. Oh I love to hate this!

First clue, first riddle.

Oh well, what gives life? Oxygen, water? Yeap water! A well and a bucket can hold water. So.. it should be something that hold water. Can you guess what is it?

O.M.G.

This is coolest gift I ever had!

O.M.G.

Yeah.. KOP rules! Absolutely!

Now come the second clue.

Second clue, second riddle.

So.. what's the essence of life? Water again? ... This time I really could not guess what is in it. It turns out to be...

Water tumbler!!

Hahaha! So my fav activity is drinking water. So these are just the right thing for me!

And the last piece... And the funniest gift of all!

Third clue, third riddle.

Ahhaha! Biotherm! "How romantic is this!"

Anyways thanks. I can save the money. =D

LOL. Anyways, it's a memorable Valentine. Will treasure all my gifts especially the Liverpool's cup and water tumbler! =D

Valentine Suprises I

2012-02-15T14:49:00.001+08:00

It's Valentine's day! A day for all the love birds to celebrate their love and affection for each others.

I guess many of us knew that the word Valentine was derived from the name of Saint Valentine. But who exactly is this mysterious saint? Rumour has it that when Emperor Claudius II forbade men to marry to make them better soldiers, Valentine defied the orders and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. Upon discovering Valentine's actions, Claudius put him to death on 14th February, 270 A.D.

Instead or mourning for Saint Valentine, this day is celebrated in memory of this heroic person, and live the beliefs that he died for.

And I have just the perfect gift idea for my Babe. :) (which I gave him on the eve of Valentine)

Nope.

Not this 'empty' Prego bottle with a scroll of love letter.

I've prepared a few riddles for Babe to work for his Valentine's gift.

Firstly, he had to open up the scroll of paper attached to the Prego bottle.

Let's see what says the first riddle.

Are you able to figure where to look for the treasure? Haha. The next clue is in the Prego bottle. That's the reason the scroll is attached to the Prego bottle on the first place. Babe should look for the next clue that is hidden in the bottle within a mess of recycled papers.

Ta-da! Babe found the second clue.

Easy right?

The second riddle sounds as such...

So Babe was allowed to chose a weapon of his choice, to prepare himself to fight with the vicious beasts. And let's see what he chose...

His iPhone! *Sweat*

He thought this was a brilliant weapon because he needed the light on his phone to find things in the dark. Wookay... Well justified!

Looking up

Looking down

Because the riddle said that the next clue will be 'voiced' at the fall of the beast, Babe straight away went looking for dark places near the stereo and TV. Oh well... he was looking at the wrong place. I think the word 'voiced' did misled him a bit. But oh well, I wanted only for the riddle to rhyme.

Finally after some hints...

Babe found the beasts in a dark room.

Of which was the only room I purposely left the light switched off.

The beasts. *wink*

Now the next clue reveal itself once the beasts are defeated. I guess Babe regretted his choice of weapon, should have chose something more like a weapon than iPhone larh...

So he killed all the beast using his mighty feet.

And found the next clue.

The third riddle.

I did promise it will get tougher. Haha.

So now Babe's IQ was tested. Actually many of us have done this puzzle. But whether you still remember how to do it is a question. Let's try solving this.

Trying left

Try right

After a few attempts and a few minutes gone...

Hahaha! He did it!

Look at his gag-face! O.m.g.

Oh he really tried hard :)

He got his next and last clue from me. Just a step more to getting his Valentine's gift! Excited! :)

The fourth riddle

It's easy. Where do you usually rest? Most common answer would be on the bed and there's no difference with where Babe usually rest. So the gift lies just on the bed. But it's on the west side of the bed.

From now onwards, there will be a row of photos showcasing Babe's expression when he finally got his Valentine's gift.

This is him feeling touched. Ahaha! xD

Time to unwrap the gift darling! :)

Hahaha. Funny expressions he has. That's why I love him so much! :)

He got an Adidas mi Coach Speed Cell Tracker.

Always wanted it!

Happy Valentine's Day my love one. You are my everyday Valentine. :) <3

Babe and the baloon monster. Rawr!

If You Don't Remember Taking These Photos, You Probably Were Drunk!

2012-02-11T16:09:00.000+08:00

It was the 15th of January (Lunar Calendar). It is also known as the Chinese Valentine. There is a tradition following this day, where all the single ladies will be throwing mandarins into a lake and the single guys will be collecting those mandarins from the lake. It is said that by fate, you will be united with your another half through this practice. But of course, contact number should be written down before you throw the mandarins into the lake larh ladies. Please remember to use waterproof marker pen too.

Well, instead of doing so, we decided to fish in the club. Sorry.. should say helping my friend (you know who you are) to fish. xD

So Zouk, here we came.

All the pretty pretty girls :)

With some of the pretty boys xD

As I looked back into the photos in the morning, I found that I don't remember taking some of them. Some were so funny that I can't stop LOL-ing. I dont't usually post about partying at clubs but ONE epic photo changed my mind and I wanted to make an exception this time.

Moments

Remember the search for someone's iPhone? It probably was taking a hideout behind the sofa.

When Angela is wearing Tim's glasses :)

When I can barely open my eyes!

Wow... Look so much like a couple photo ;)

Now come the epic one! Greattt!

Photo booming!

You LOL. =D

It was a great night out! I LURVE you guys! :)

Fried Laksa @ Subang SS14

2012-02-05T23:55:00.000+08:00

Well Cook Gourmet Restaurant, situation just along the row of shop houses at Subang SS14, is very well-known for it's specialty - Fried Laksa.

Fried Laksa? Yeap, you don't have to rub your eyes or double check if I wrote it wrongly. Fried Laksa; Laksa that is fried. This is a must-try if you are a Laksa fanatic, or a sourly-kind-of-spicy food lover. All I can say is that it tastes so good that by the end of each plate, you will actually consider ordering another plate though you are already full. Well, at least it happens to me.

While waiting for our order to arrive, babe is playing with his new apps. He took a cool edited photo in order to persuade me to jailbreak my iPhone. He succeeded in doing so.

Apart from Fried Laksa, a variety of Laksa (claypot Laksa, etc.) and other kind of dishes are also served in this restaurant. Popiah is another dish that you should try. I wouldn't say it's the best but it's good for a starter while you are waiting for your main course.

Making Popiah

Yummy-licious Fried Laksa

The Monte Carlo Luck

2012-02-05T23:15:00.000+08:00

Babe & Tim got quite lucky the night before during the Beer & Gambling session, and hence we decided to try our luck at Genting's casino. Well, too much of gambling you say? It's the Chinese New Year. It's okay. Haha.

Initially babe & I planned to visit the Doraemon World Exhibition during the afternoon but too bad, the queue, which was as long as the mighty dragon, demotivated us. Was a bit sadden by this case.

Can only see the Doraemon's selling booth in First World...

After a round of madness in the Arcade, we bought some junk food and went out to chill in the cold. The unforgivable chilly winds are literally beating on our faces and every inch of my skin which is not covered by any cloth. Freezing cold. The temperature must be lower than 10 degree Celsius. Tim said it could be worse in the Netherlands, of which the temperature during the winter season can be around minus 15 degree Celsius or lesser. Gosh...

I was quickly turning into an icicles

Someone said he is from Holland too and hence not a bit bothered by the cold. But looking into this shaky pic, I don't think so... LOL

After 20 minutes or so, we headed towards the casinos. Just the main purpose we came up to Genting Highland. Hahaha.

The new Star World which replaced the Pavillion, with very strict security. Make sure you visit it if you have the chance, guarantee you'll be WOW-ed once you step in

Then we went over to Monte Carlo. Good news to those who loves gambling but hate the smoke - Monte Carlo 1 and 2 are converted into non-smoking area. Niceee... Now you can gamble all night long without the worry of being second-hand smoker. :)

Tim was superbly lucky. It was like the God of Fortune was sticking by his side. Imagine buying a few specific numbers on the Roulette game and strike one! How lucky was that!

Babe's little fortune for the night

As we "earned" enough to cover the cost for this trip, we went to Coffee Bean to chill out for a bit before heading down hill. I think it was a great night for everyone. It's fun to just hang out like this :)

Beer & Gambling Session: Second Round

2012-02-04T10:45:00.000+08:00

Ann is our handler, as in handling us, the Batch 4 MA. Weeks ago we got an email from her stating that she is resigning. Well, this came as a surprise to many of us. If I'm not mistaken, just a few months ago she was transferred from another BU to Holdings. A few of other HR personnel in the BU I'm currently attached to are also leaving. When this happens, you can't help but ask... what's wrong!? But, Ann is leaving for better opportunity, so it's good news. The only sad part is that our time spent together is short.

So, we decided to pay her a visit during the CNY. Drove all the way from Shah Alam to Bandar Mahkota Cheras, a place which is very familiar to me but have not visited for quite some time. Hi Sungai Long! :)

We were greeted by a handsome, young, energetic one-year-old. He is Ann's baby boy, Jonathan. Didn't take any pics but basically it's good to finally gather and meet up with everyone after not meeting for quite some time. And not to forget Imah made us Tiramisu! Yum yum yummy...

After that visit, went straight to Alex's house for the second round beer session. Continuing the Beer & Lou Sang Gathering. This time we too finished 2 cartons of Heineken. I think I'm sick of beer already and gonna stay away from it, at least for awhile.

The effect of beer and gambling, which I would say is quite an emotional activity...

a) The "Drunk & Dead"

As usual...

Even sifu also cannot tahan... Lol ;)

Guess who is this?

b) The "Alive & Kicking"

The 'Qin Bui Bat Zui' Awards go to...

c) The "Struggling-to-Keep-Awake"

Ohh see, someone is taking a photo of us, lets open our eyes big big and smile into the camera...

Challenge Accepted - Wrapping Hamper

2012-02-03T21:50:00.000+08:00

It’s time to shop for a CNY gift for babe’s family. I ranout of decent gift ideas already. Sis bought a hamper that cost her RM50. Andearlier she won a hamper through lucky draw that was estimated to cost aroundRM120 looking at the size of it. But as we ripped off the hamper, we realizedthat all the sweets, cookies, chocolates, etc. that made up the hamper arenothing but mere big boxes to make the hamper look bigger. Some of the snacksare of those we would not have bought because we don’t like it.

Did you ever visit the hypermarkets or mall and noticed thatall the hampers nowadays are darn expensive. With RM120, I seriously can easilyget better choices of snacks. So… I told myself…

I’m going to make a hamper myself!

So we went shopping at Tesco Taiping. RM50 is the budget tomake an M-sized hamper. And babe get to choose whatever snacks that he or he thinks his family desire to eat. :)

Grace was my assistant.

Ta-da! Hamper stuffed with snacks that we would have boughtbecause we like it!

Oh yeah!!

Lion/Dragon Dance Performance

2012-02-01T16:47:00.000+08:00

1^st Feb. It’s Federal Territory Day. Happyholiday to those working in Kuala Lumpur. Too bad I’m not located in thefederal territory and hence I don’t get to enjoy this public holiday. Duhhh…

But fret not! Because today, I get to enjoy the lion (and dragon) danceperformance held in conjunction to the 2012 Lunar New Year. It’s part of mycompany’s tradition.

Though deafening, the loud beating of drums and clanging ofcymbals actually heighten my spirit for the day. Going to wish for a fantasticand terrrrrific year!

Lions going for the mandarins, pamelo, and lettuce

Lions took quite some time to "munch" their "food"

They are arranging the coins into some Chinese words actually

And what's funny was that some of the big bosses are either yawning or texting while they patiently wait for the lions to dance again

Nice pose Lions. Dragon, you need to look into the camera. Haha.
Let's usher the year of Dragon! :)

Lunar New Year 2012 - Some Updates

2012-02-01T15:49:00.000+08:00

"Pap pap pap pap pap...!"

We heard the sound of fire crackers going off from a near distance. Few minutes later, more household from north, south, every directions, joined in. Soon, fireworks can also be seen blasting off in the sky. A sense of joy and merriness filled the air, heighten the already excited emotion.

We rejoiced at the arrival of the dragon year!

Happy Chinese New Year peeps! Wishing all of you a happy and prosperous year, and may this dragon year bless everyone of us with superb health and wealth! :)

Was so busy gathering and catching up with my beloved family that I rarely have the time to even Facebook, let alone blogging. Hence, I would like to wind my blog back to a day ago and post some updates on some of the happenings for these few days.

21st January 2012 - First round of reunion dinner & Dad's big day

24th January 2012 - Annual CNY gathering with secondary school friends

*Pending pics*

30th January 2012 - Beer & Lou Sang Gathering @ Hong's House

Probably not the nicest pic, I know

Still... Huat ar!

We finished 2 cartons of Heineken and gambled for the night.

Wikipedia, Google Going Black

2012-01-18T14:42:00.002+08:00

I was searching some info using Wikipedia and when the page loaded, saw this (below) and surprised me.

*click on the pic to enlarge*

First thing that came to my mind is what in the world is SOPA and PIPA? Luckily there is a "Learn More" tab at the bottom right side of the banner to ease my search for these 2 acronyms.

Okay, so on the 16^th of January, 2012, the Wikipedia communityannounced its decision to black out the English language Wikipedia for 24hours, worldwide, beginning at 05:00 UTC on Wednesday, 18^th ofJanuary, 2012. Such decision is an effort to protest against the proposedlegislation to stop Internet piracy by the United States Congress.

SOPA,short for Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) if pass wouldallow the Justice Department to seek a court order requiring U.S. searchengines to scrub certain results from the sites as one of its antipiracymeasures see this and this.

Gosh! Imagine the horror if both of these bills are passed.

How many times Wikipedia and other online websites have savedyour life by helping you in finishing off your assignments? How many times ourmost errant, absurd, obscure questions are answered with minimal keystrokes onGoogle?

I don’t know you but I do often wiki and google. Couldn’timagine what would happen should the bills are passed... It would bedevastating to the free and open web!

This protest will also be joined by Google, the giant searchengine (though they didn’t shut down their site but instead covered most of the logo on its U.S. homepagewith a black box, and added a link asking users to tell the U.S. Congress “pleasedon’t censor the web”), and thousands of other, mostly smaller websites.

Two hours later I checked Wikipedia...

*click on the pic to enlarge*

And Google USA site...

It is for real... ...

Mandarins & Ang Pow from Boss

2012-01-18T07:49:00.000+08:00

This is a random post that I just can't resist from writing it. My big boss just went around and distributed 2 mandarins and an Ang Pow to everyone in the marketing operations department.

How kind and cute of him. :) He is not even a Chinese, but a Pakistani.

This man definitely knows how to make his subordinates happy working for him.

Beer Factory/ Happy Birthday KC

2012-01-16T10:05:00.000+08:00

It is KC’s birthday and as usual, he had chosen a place thatinvolves drinking and dancing and sight-seeing chicks. Hahaha.

We didn’t join for the dinner session because babe and Iwere having another karaoke session with my angels. But we did turn up for thesecond round instead – Beer Factory.

With the birthday boy - KC

The greatest couple of all times.. Muahaha!

One of my angels and her bf. Sweet sweet couple.

Oh well, Beer Factory is a GAB solus and hence you can only choose to drink from a range of brands that GAB is carrying such as Tiger, Heineken, Guinness and some other imported brands like Paulaner and Strongbow. I think we ordered and drank like 5 towers of Heineken and a tower of Long Island, which is a mixture of some liquor and some fruit juice. Heart Long Island much <3!

Not really a nice piece of pic I know.. Duhh..

Still sober

After finishing all the 6 towers, we moved on to Movida because KC still have some liquors saved there. So we headed over there to finish it. It's the second second-round. And we had a few round of ice war.. Must have been very messy and people may thought we were nuts. Lol.. it was fun though.

Trying to stay sober

Goshh.. Shuen looks better with his glasses on, and I looked nerdy

Awesome level: 4 ½ stars

3am.. a night of fun ended. Happy birthday KC! :)

Story Telling

2012-01-14T11:31:00.000+08:00

So this is what we did last Friday when office hours get boring...

*Click on the picture to enlarge*

I never knew that we can have so much of "creative juices" when we are bored.

New Year Resolution

2012-01-11T13:58:00.000+08:00

Two. Zero. One. Two.

It's a whole new year and that means it's time to spell out a whole new resolution!

I've done it... writing down everything that I would like to achieve by the end of 2012. Hope this would lead me to live a more meaningful year and enjoy my day to the fullest!

A snapshot of what I've written down.

Well, my new year resolution is somewhat directed towards personal development. Career wise, not so much. Maybe because I'm still in this Management Associate Program (of a beverage company), of which will only end by December. So, there's nothing much I could do for career progression as it's pretty much fixed. Or perhaps, I've no enthusiasm in what I'm doing slash the company. It's pretty bad and I'm a messed-up, I know. So, to fix this, I turn towards looking for my interest. Seriously, I don't have any specific interest that I can potentially turn into some kind of big project or career to work on. So, this year, I'll focus on finding that interest.

In case you didn't notice, I've also included the punishment if I were to fail to accomplish everything that I've written down, at least those with the due date of 31st Dec 2012. Try to hunt it in the photo posted above. Gee... It's actually quite scary. Couldn't imagine myself with, or should I say, without it, which is of utmost important to a girl/lady/woman. I've said it and there is no turning back. Well, it's also somewhat a good way to motivate myself to move forward.

Hmmm... would very much like to shift my mindset into thinking positively. So, instead of using a punishment to push myself to move forward, I should be eyeing on a reward to motivate myself to gear forward right? But I couldn't think of a satisfying reward for myself should I manage to accomplish everything, well, again, at least those with the due date by the end of this year. What should be the reward?

Vacation at some exotic place? - oh well, I am already scheduled to go somewhere this year.
Shop more? - as if I don't already do that...
Dine at some really nice restaurant and indulge in some really good food? - that would defeat my resolution right... and I'm not quite the person who fancy food that much though...

What else than?

Can't really think of it so if you have any idea on how to reward myself, do let me know. Or, share with me on how you have rewarded yourself in the past?

Perhaps, the ability to accomplish the new year resolution is already the reward itself! The process of achieving those is pretty much rewarding as well. So, maybe I should just focus on harnessing my energy towards achieving them. Real rewards, can come later.

Great!

Uncle Duck Fishball Noodle

2012-01-08T17:25:00.000+08:00

So I went to shop for some new clothes for Chinese New Year,third time already for the same reason. Gosh!

My third destination – Times Square. I used to hate shoppingat Times Square because, let’s face it, there is always jam at KL, parking isan issue, and most important of all, Times Square is just like a big pasarmalam (night market) that is covered with roof and real outlets instead ofstalls. I hate having to ‘fight’ to get something I want. Also the very reasonI hate walking into a MNG outlet when there is sales.

Hahaha! A really scaring thing to bump into!

But now, not anymore!

Used to have a friend who always wore nice pieces ofclothing and curiosity got me asking where did she bought them. You knew theanswer! Times Square. And at very cheap prices that I wouldn’t believe my earswhen I first heard of the prices that she mentioned. For those who have been toTimes Square, you know the pricing of clothes over there. Almost all outlets putup banners that spell “All at RM20”, etc. Well, you really can get your hand onsome really nice piece of clothes if you look carefully.

RM25 – RM40. That’s the range of prices I got for all the 5 nicepieces of clothes I bought from Times Square tonight. Walking out from TimeSquare feeling rather accomplished! Well... As for what I’ve bought, will beposting them only during the festive yeah!

Okay back to the topic, as titled, that I wanted to writeabout initially. Gosh… shopping does get me talking non-stop. *Squint*

So we were driving back home. We were talking about what tohave for a late dinner, because it’s really late, like 10:30pm, oh we should behaving “supper” instead of dinner. But none of us have any idea of what tohave. To make growling stomach even worse, we were in amidst of losing our waybecause of a wrong turning.

Then babe spotted a restaurant that his dad used to broughthim. In split second we decided that this is where we will have our dinner,sorry, supper - Uncle Duck's Fishball Noodle.

What we saw from our car, almost passing it by.

Don't know where is the exact place but

it's located near Jalan Pasar, KL.

The inside of it.

Now you can see "Uncle Duck, Hong Kong Restaurant".

Yup the interior was designed to look really much like a Hong Kong restaurant.

Finally! Food is here!!

The fishball vermicelli noodle is really good. They have spicy red chillies and this home-made prawns paste, which is a little bit spicy, for you to go with your dishes. Really yummy that I can go for a second bowl. But for the sake of not overeating, I stopped. After all, the restaurant is only operating till 11pm and hence we kind of need to rush to finish our food actually.

Well, a wrong turning brought us to some really good food. So, lesson learnt that sometimes when something goes wrong, don't be frustrated over it because, something good might be just around the corner waiting for you to stumble upon it. Yay!

The First Party of The Year

2012-01-02T21:51:00.000+08:00

Five… Four… Three… Two… One! Happy New Year!

Wishing for a great year ahead for two zero one two and mayeveryone always be in the pink of health.

I did not go for any countdown. Was asked to go for a drinkat IOI Boulevard and countdown with fireworks but turned it down as I was too lazyto do so. Guess because babe was not here with me, he was working as an emceefor a friend’s wedding, and my dear family is too far away. When your love onesare not by your side to celebrate a special moment, it ain’t a special momentat all… Sad right. Moreover, I don’t wanna be celebrating the end of something,but instead to rejoice for the start of something new. I guess probably because2011 was not really a good year for me. I wanna pump up the kicks in 2012!Rawrrr…

And so, we started the New Year with a BBQ party. It wasinitially intended to be a small and warm gathering of close friends. But 17 ofus turned up instead. Anyhow, the more the merrier, so we welcome everyone withopen arms.

Hot hot hot dogs

But first and foremost really need to thank Edmund for allowing us to use his house as our party's venue. A big and magnificent house, just nice for house partying. Not forgetting his mom, who as I heard, prepared the beehun and curry, and spaghetti. Other than that also need to thank Nicholas's mom for marinating the chicken wings. These are all nice foods that are essential for a BBQ party. And certainly need to thank Kelvin for organising everything and making this happen.

My sis and I.

See I bought the same clothing for both me and my new iPhone =)

The one who barbecued everything for me
Thanks sis! XD

Kelvin and I beside the fiery barbecue pit

Babe testing out the front's camera of his new iPhone 4S

Honestly, as much as it pains me to say, the quality sucks

But them both are funny ^.^

My bunch of friends and a special guest =)

After a 3-hour of non-stop barbecuing (ok I did not barbecued anything, my sis and bf did it for me), and eating, and chatting, and eating, we finally went up to the third floor for karaoke. Yes, Edmund's new house has a karaoke room. How cool is that!

Where we sang our lungs out!

But how come everyone chose only emo songs! It's the new year peeps!

Oh wait... Forgot about something. We toasted! Yeap... we did the traditional chinese's Yummmmmmmmm Seng! Toast to a great year ahead!

Coming up - surprise surprise! It's one of our friend's birthday.

So sorry I cut into pieces before you can take a picture of it.

Anyhow, happy birthday Mok! =)

Group pictures are a must too!

What a 'big family' we have here =)

Two hours of singing is just enough. Instead of having free flow soft drinks, we had free flow hard liquors. Lol. How can we not have some booze to celebrate the new year?! Thanks again to Kelvin, Edmund and Tim for sponsoring some of their 'collections'! =)

We played some card games

with the intention of finishing every bottles we had here! Gosh... Guys!

Funny Hong... Who said he was "thirsty"

but then the first who rested on the sofa after a few "hirst quenching drinks"

These are not the only ones we finished!

We had Cointreau and Black Label finished as well!

*Party rocks*

The effect...

A GG'ed friend xD

*Giggles* It was really a great party! I will always remember this in mind. Looking forward to having more. Need to sleep now... Signing off! Oh wait... one word before I go to sleep. Drink sensibly. ^.^

The Smarter Phone

Finally it’s here! My iPhone 4S!

Strange I got one. Because I was never a big Apple’s fan.Note the was. It is not until Steve Jobs passed away, that I fall in love inApple’s products, because I fall in love with the great man’s vision. Period.

I’m not always the first mover for IT stuff. Perhaps nevereven a laggard. Because the dough that went into buying all the so-called pieceof arts for IT geeks, I would definitely rather spend on my wardrobe. But thistime, I made an exception, though I’m not the one paying for it. Jobs is nodoubt one of the greatest marketers of all time. Selling his vision instead ofthe product(s), and successfully persuaded ME to into getting an iPhone thatcost my babe a large chunk of $$$!

For those out there who aspire to become a better marketer,clicking on the video attached below is a MUST!

Nowyou know why some brands became the best-selling products in the world. Now youknow why all those peeps out there queued up since morning in front of the telecommunication stores/ Machines, and even camped for the night, as I heard happened in some others countries, just to get their hands on iPhones.

Simple trick is to sell your “why”, aka your vision. People buy a product because of what it represents. Not how many or what godlike functions it have.

Hereby would like give a big big hug and thanks to my babe! Thank you so much for this gift. I may not be able to reciprocate in the same way but I’ll do my best. And I just want to let you know that I appreciated i

Now you know why some brands became the bestselling productsin the world. Now you know why all tand you, especially. XOXO ♥♥♥

Carlsberg Where's The Party

2011-12-31T22:25:00.001+08:00

Guinness: "Rawr... Arthur's Day is the party of the year!"

"Ya right..." The crowd half-booed. As if their energy dries off. Perhaps drained by the intolerable and suffering massive jam.

Guinness: "6 million pints of Guinness is consumed daily worldwide. Here's to Arthur!"

"To Arthurrrrrr..." Again... the crowd said with a drowning rrrrr. Half raising their glasses to cheers, if only they have one in their hands.

Carlsberg: "Step aside! Come with me if you wanna know Where's The Partyyyyy!"

A robotic voice pierced through the night air! I thought it sounded almost like Optimus Prime. In no time, the air above swirled, winds beating on our faces and oh my hair! And o.m.g... is that a... wait I don't know what it is called. A helicopter? A spaceship? Hell I don't care... It's coming for us. I don't know how but I just knew it! I reach out my hands to it. Hoping for some miracle to happen, like being sucked into it and transported to wherever the party is. Soon enough at a blink of an eye, I'm there!

Ftw! I just telepathed!

And oops... Carlsberg just kicked Guinness on the ass!

_______________________________________________

First thing first, don't get me wrong. I love the Guinness brand, thought it looks cool with all the black and gold colors combination. I love drinking Guinness too, especially from the bottle, the draught one tastes a little bit more bitter though.

But put aside my love for Guinness, Guinness Arthur's Day 2011 sucks. And that's a fact, at least to me. If the Guinness team wants to brand their party as the party of the year, they better put in 120% more effort the next time.

Okay, enough about Guinness. Let's talk about Carlsberg's "Where's The Party". If I'm not wrong, this is the second installation of such themed event organized by Carlsberg. From a consumer point of view, I think it is really an interesting, out of the box branding idea. The alcoholic beverages industry in Malaysia is a semi-dark industry. With so many restriction imposed on the industry, marketing has become very challenging. I applause for the ones who thought about this. It manages to significantly differentiate itself and stand out from its competitors of which I will not name; instead of creating the usual buzz about a party/event of the scale as big as this, the title and mystery in itself creates wonders. The way the Carlsberg's marketing team made it so secretive is actually kind of alluring to many party peeps out there. Whether you like it or not, we people always are being pulled into some secretive and forbidden agenda, and that's why the Twilight Saga made such a big hoo-hah. And Carlsberg manage to bank on this dark side of human.

So, where's the party this year? I heard babe said the party was at Sepang Gold Coast last year and there were so many interesting games to play. I really am anticipating somewhere some place like beach side... until we were brought to... Carlsberg's factory. What a surprise *duh*.

Arriving at Shah Alam Stadium for registration

Met someone there

After registering ourself, each of us have one of this

The RFID tag which is linked to your Facebook account.

Now this is cool!

Us in the bus waiting to be ferried to the party's site

which the ambassador still remained very secretive of it at this point of time

It's raining heavily out there

But it doesn't stop the people from attending this awesome party

Finally we arrived to the secret destination
Carlsbery Brewery
My heart sinks a little, honestly

We were approached with a very warm welcoming

with pretty chicks and drum beats

See the foods stalls and beer booths?

Everything FREE FLOW all day long

See... Babe was so happy seeing all the free satayyyy that he can have

It's best to eat some ice creams when it's chilly

Met my colleagues - Jimmy & JenQ

Alex finally arrived

It looks like they have moved the entire fun fair here to this factory site of Carlsberg. I was quite taken aback, in a pleasant way, when I discovered that games are prepared for us to explore. There were also prizes to be won by playing and winning over the simple criteria of the games.

The magnificent Ferris Wheel :)

The Pirate Ship... Probably the scariest of all that I've ride because there was no safety belt for you to buckle yourself up!

Didn't manage to ride this because the queue is crazy.

Should be fun!

There were so many mini games we couldn't care less to take any photos but just to enjoy them... Here are some of the photos show casing the some of mini games available. Taken from Carlsberg's albums @ Facebook.

Night befall upon us and hey, the party still keep on going because the night is still young! It's time for the concert now! Let's rock!

What makes this party even more awesome was when Soren, the managing director of Carlsberg Malaysia, came on stage and did some rapping! He totally rocked the stage. Seriously, I salute him. How many managing director would actually do or can do that? Greattt... Just greattt!

The crowd

We left earlier before the party end, catching the first bus back to Shah Alam stadium where our cars rest.

There are some rooms for improvement though, like better location and giving us a list of the mini games available for enjoyment so we wouldn't miss any bit of them. But, in conclusion, this party totally rocks!

Carlsberg, totally the party rocker! Yeah!

A Magical Night Out

2011-12-05T22:03:00.000+08:00

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But now from way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

That's right. If you manage to hum the above lyrics to the tune of "A Whole New World", a ballad sung originally by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga, then you are no stranger to the 1992 animated Disney tale, Aladdin.

Almost 18 years later, in present time - 2011, Aladdin flew (I still want to believe, in his magic carpet) to Malaysia, granting us Disney's lovers our wishes, by performing live in Sunway Lagoon. (You bet. I always wanted them, and all Disney's fairy tales to come alive, when I was young. A brain spoiled by fantasy huh...).

So, here I was, sitting at the bench of the Amphitheatre of Sunway Lagoon, eagerly waiting for the Musical to start. But firstly, I would like to extend my thanks to Feeq for presenting me with this chance, and Pat from Avante, the organizer, who saved me two tix so I could attend this magical musical with my love one. If not for them, I wouldn't be able to be here warming the bench with my a**. xD

If you think this musical spells geeks and nerds, or that it is only for children and hence you worry it would be boring and dull, fret not! Because this is not your typical Disney musical. First thing first, as all live musical would have, the production brings us special stage effects such as flying carpet, pyrotechnics, some real living livestock running wild on the stage, and snow or I should say bubble snow! Snow in Malaysia? Just you wait and see! Should you ever decide to see the performance for yourself, do anticipate the entrance of Aladdin. It's extraordinary!

As for the numbers, they are a mixture of classical songs and contemporary ones that you are so very familiar with, I bet you won't be able to contain your giggling and laughter. The plus point of all, do anticipate the crème de la crème of the musical, a rapping genie, who dresses in sparkling gold outfit. How about that for a musical, huh!

On top of that, just when I thought the cast will be lips-sync-ing, they actually sang throughout the entire stage performance, like for real. And they don't sound a bit awful, at all. The octaves Aladdin and Princess Jasmine can hit and the stability of their voices singing while dancing are just great. How cool is that! Considering this point alone, your time and money spent are already worth it for sure.

All are perfect, except for one things that is missing. Where is Abu, Aladdin's kleptomaniac sidekick pet monkey and best friend? Still remember this cute little creature? How could this cute little friend not being cast in this musical? Well... guess the troubles it takes to train a monkey may be too much. Haha.

If there is only 1 thing that I would complain, it is with regards to timeliness. If I'm not mistaken, the musical is supposed to be starting at 7:45pm, or so it is stated in the tix, but it did not begin until it was 8:15pm. So that was a half an hour wait, and the 2-hour performance ended more than half an hour later than it was supposed to be. After which we were caught up in the after-shopping-hour massive jam. Thanks to the rain as well. Speaking of which, kind of ruined the supposed-to-be fun train ride.

Oh did I mention there were these toot-toot-trains prepared for us, bringing us back and forth from the Surf Beach entrance to the Amphitheater? How thoughtful! But the rain made me asking for more, and I wished that they could provide umbrellas or shaded walkways as well. How unappreciative I was back then huh... But seriously, the wet jeans and shoes kind of drown the mood a bit. I do appreciate the thoughtfulness though.

For those of you who plan to get tix to this musical, don't bother to pack any foods or beverages because they will be confiscated at the entrance. But don't freak out on not having anything to bite on during the show as they have this concession booth selling a numbers of snacks and drinks. Nonetheless, I seriously hate that they mark-up the prices. RM5 each for a cup of sweet corn, a bagful of popcorn, a bottle of 500ml mineral water, etc.? Thanks but no thanks, I rather eat air.

Lol, so, that's not 1 but 3 things I complained about. Anyways, all of these are no big deal when you really enjoy the show. And trust me, by the end of the show, you will find yourself standing up on your feet, dance and shake and sing along with the cast!

If you are a big fan of musical, and especially a Disney's tale musical, or if you want to take a date for a memorable night out, or if you just want to spend a fun weekend with your family and kids, why not check out Aladdin The Musical! It is ready to bring you to a whole new world from 25 Nov 2011 - 2 Jan 2012. Plan which show time to go from this chart:

Note from the chart that the musical will be staged once a day at 8:00pm, and twice on Saturdays at 7:15pm and 9:15pm. Bear in mind that there will be no show on Tuesday though. Good news for you peeps who are looking forward to have a memorable Christmas and New Year celebrations, as Aladdin The Musical is putting on an extra show on the 25th of Dec and 1st of Jan (both Sundays)! Yay!

Below showed the price of tic for adults and children:

So, remember to book a tix today! :)

Me & Mr. Darcy

2011-11-28T17:07:00.000+08:00

Did you ever have a crush on any particular actor, singer, dance, or any kind of artists, or even fictional hero, so much that you wish that they are there in your reality? And that you dream of being with him/her? Ahem.. Admit it or not, we all have that sort of fantasy. It would be great if that wish or dream comes true, wouldn't it? *wink*

In Me & Mr. Darcy, the modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice by Alexandra Potter, such wish comes true to one lucky Emily Albright. Emily is a bookstore manager of a family-owned bookstore in New York. She is a die-hard romantics and has read Pride & Prejudice for the umpteenth times since young. After a string of bad dates and feeling hopeless towards modern day gentlemen, if they can even be called as such, she decides to go on a book tour to Jane Austen's country, instead of running off to Mexico for a wild week of men and margaritas for the New Year with Stella, her BFF.

Her excitement is a bit dashed when she discovers that the book tour group consist mainly of older women, except for one Spike Hargreaves, a journalist who is sent by his paper, The Daily Times to write an article on why the fictional Mr. Darcy has earned the title of Man Most Women Would Love to Date. Spike is a total antithesis of Mr. Darcy; unkempt with a slight belly which can be caught on sight here and now, foul mouthed and certainly unchivalrous. Compared to the literacy perfection of Mr. Darcy, Spike has no chance of capturing the heart of the heroin, though Emily thought he is cute, before they got off in the wrong footing.

Just when Emily thought this is gonna be a dull and boring tour she embarked on, something great yet mysterious happened... She comes face-to-face with Mr. Darcy. Yup, it's Mr. Darcy, for real...

What would you do if your fantasy dream date is there in your reality?

Believe it or not, I finished this novel in a mere 3 days. Could be shorter if I'm not working for the most part of the days. I think it is quite a clever mashing of the most classic ever love story and modern day ones. It is also highly entertaining; you will find yourself giggling as you flip through the pages. And I couldn't help but felt warm on some part of the stories. Some parts, however, could have been better. But, for the sake of just wanting to read a light and entertaining novel, these can be discounted.

So, back to the question, what would you do if your fantasy dream date is there in your reality? Reading this novel got me thinking about this question for quite some time. Maybe I should start drafting a short story about it. ;)

The Greatest Love Stor(ies) of All Times

2011-11-01T23:01:00.000+08:00

If you have not heard of Jane Austen, then at least you must have heard of Pride and Prejudice. Nope? Because you don't fancy reading? Then look up for the movie or BBC adaptations. If you are a drool for romantic stories, Pride and Prejudice is one that must not be missed. Read it, watch it.

I have yet to read the classic myself, swear to do it soon. But for you metropolitan busy bees, if reading a more than 100 pages of paperback puts you off, go first for the movie adaptation directed by Joe Wright (known for directing the more well known movies, Atonement and Hanna), starred Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. Then, you can at least get an idea of why it is known as the greatest love story in English literature of all times.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. It is a novel of the genre of manners and satire. It is more than just a story of romance between two individuals. It shows how pride and prejudice can impact and sometimes cloud our judgements and decisions.

Having the book compressed into a two hours and nine minutes of screen time, I have a feeling that the movie might not be able to capture the depth and complexity of the entire story though. Hence the determination to read the paperback, as it allows for spaces for my own imagination. And for those who fancy the thrill of some actions, this movie could be a quite a bore. And here, Mr. Darcy, this tall, dark, insanely handsome, intelligent, and wealthy character who is supposedly the dream date and as Alexandra Potter puts it, the wet dream, of ladies of all ages, did not live up to the expectation. All Macfadyen did was just putting up a sad and solemn face. He is not dashing at all.

And speaking of a dashing young chap, there is another movie that I would highly recommend for you to see, and probably a good excuse to chew on some sweet, caramel-ed popcorns in the mean time. Look up for Becoming Jane, a movie inspired by the early live of our beloved author of all times - Jane Austen, which was directed by Julian Jarrold, starring Anne Hathaway and my favorite Scottish actor, James McAvoy.

The movie might not have accurately portray the bits of life of the young Jane Austen as this movie is not a biopic. But from the movie you could find out, finally, how a woman from the 19th century, where being knowledgeable, let alone writing a book, was considered a misfortune and damned, produced the greatest love story of all times in English literature. Her love story is the very inspiration for Pride and Prejudice.

Hathaway and McAvoy were lauded for the chemistry between their characters by movie critics, and I could not be more agreeable to the praise. Furthermore, I would say it is not as dull as the movie adaptation of Pride and Pride. At least you will find some humors here and there that will make you giggle through the entire movie. And, Tom Lefroy is cute!

So, here you go, two lovey-dovey movies you can look forward to see if you want to have a good time cuddling with your love one. =D

Just IN TIME

2011-10-31T22:23:00.000+08:00

I've been to moons and back. This explains the absent of blog entries *wink*. I would really much want to tell you what I were doing in the past 9 months or more since February. But I shall put them aside first, because, some things can't wait to be unleash from within me!

I hate Justin Timberlake. I adore his abs (which he keeps showing off since Friends for Benefits). But I hate him. Perhaps it's his look. Perhaps it's his voice. Perhaps I don't know why. Hence, I don't intend to spend my bucks, confined to space limited only to my butt for 2 hours, watching a movie played by J. Timberlake. But babe persuaded me to it. It's for his birthday. And Amanda Seyfried looks so sophisticated yet cute in her pixie-cut hair.

But boy I tell you, as soon as the movie starts, I fell in love with the story! It's so sarcastic in a way that what is played reflects the reality of the world that we are all living in. It displays the conspiracy of the rich!

In Time, a sci-fi action thriller, is set in a world where time is the ultimate currency. Human are genetically engineered to stop aging when they hit 25 (oh I know you hope it's true in reality), and the bright fluorescence green timer on their arms will start ticking with a year left to live on. Unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earns" decades at a time, and hence become essentially immortal, while the rest have to work, beg, borrow, or steal enough hours to make it through a day. When a poor young man suddenly comes into a fortune of time, a series of misfortunes bestowed upon him instead - he is too late to prevent his mother from dying and he was accused for the murder of a billionaire. Angered, he is off to set things right, his way.

I do not intend to tell you the entire storyline, you need to watch it for yourself. But I would like to highlight a few of my observations and understanding of the messages the story is portraying, or so I thought it is.

The rich has developed a system that put the world in order. With this system, people from poorer time zone will never have the time to make it to the richer time zone. They were made to work for them in factories, etc. and earn only enough time, and sometimes lesser than what they deserve, to live day to day. In the mean time, the time to buy a cup of coffee, for instant, sky-rocketed just overnight. The rich sickly believes that for a few to live on forever, many must die. Hence, they created time banks to loan time to needy, with superbly high interest that you might have to pay for with all the time in your life! - and the time earned through the interest flows to the rich. Imagine the wealth of time they have to live on for centuries!

Doesn't this sound familiar to you? Reflect what are written above on the reality that we are living in. I mean, 90% of the people that constitute the lower and middle income classes of our society are working in jobs for the 10% of the super rich who create those jobs. We (I assume most of us are still categorized under the 90%) earn a living by being paid peanuts on those jobs that we work on day to day. It's a never-ending rat race. In the mean time, prices of goods never seems to be decreasing and we could afford them lesser. It's called inflation. The super rich wants to be rich forever (if everyone starts earning more money, they will no longer be regarded as the super rich anymore), and hence they need to keep us poor, and thus they created/ controlled banks. The banks nowadays are like modern day loan sharks, except that they are legitimate ones. They loan money to people who can barely even repay the sky-high interests.

There are many more scenes in the movie that you can relate to our reality. In fact, every pieces of the movie reflect many things in our lives. But you have got to watch it yourself and have fun debating/ discussing among your mates.

Robert T. Kiyosaki's Conspiracy of the Rich is all coming back to me. Of course, no one wants to die, we all wish to live on forever. If you want to change your reality, go grab this book and read it. It reveals the conspiracy of the super rich in the world - people who controlled the world's banks/ the flow of currencies. It tells the simple fact that to be rich, we need to play their game (but less ruthlessly). For instant, we can either be the ones creating jobs and/or be a legitimate (or illegitimate *kidding*) loan shark. This book, to me, is more practical than the rest of the Rich Dad series as the author himself tells us the ways he has used throughout the years to be in the 10% today, which can definitely be copied and you won't be branded a plagiariser.

Okay, a movie review is now turning into a book review. I don't want to bore you, so I'll quicky wrap things up. I still dislike J. Timberlake. Notice hatred has now turned into only dislike? Haha. But he certainly needs some, or more brushing up in being the lead hero, who should be guiding us through an unfamiliar world. Amanda Seyfried is all grown-up and chicly sexy in this movie.. long gone were the days when she played Sophie Sheridan in Mamma Mia! But sadly, there is still no breakthrough in this role.

Anyway, if there is only one thing you can register in your overly occupied mind after reading this long entry, remember this - TIME IS MONEY. TIME IS POWER.

My Everyday Valentine

2011-02-19T17:35:00.000+08:00

It was February 14th and the air must be filled with nothing but the scent of sweetness. Flowers bloom brighter, chocolates taste sweeter, and restaurants' owner smiles wider as love birds swamp in for the celebration of this special day with their love ones.

It was February 14th and we were sitting at home, burying ourselves with never-ending assignments. Pity...

Then yesterday, babe got a surprise for me! I thought we were not celebrating Valentine's this year! Well, technically we were not celebrating, yet. Babe got me a few presents first! I'm so over the moon...

Rose is a MUST! And pink is my favorite! :)

A Paris Hilton's purse. And it's pinkish in color too! :)

And this is how the inside looks like. It would be better if the compartments contain cash. Lol.. joking!

And the one that touches me the most is a photo frame. I was the one who always presented babe with handmade photo frame, but this time, I got one in return. And a pretty one too.

The photo frame is princess chair in brown color. It look delicious, like chocolate, that I wanna bite on it!

Tada! Me on a red chair, on a chocolate chair :)

Thanks my precious one. It doesn't matter if we don't celebrate Valentine's, as you are my EverydayValentine ♥

Permission Slips

2011-02-18T11:43:00.000+08:00

The finale of all final exam is just around the corner. This means only a few things to me ... tons of stress, lots of nights staying up late to burn the midnight oil, and even goddamn insomnia! But, but, things have changed a little. At least, in my opinion, I find myself more calm and relax this time. The muscles tense down a little. Babe and I are heading toward the cinema for a movie later. Can't believe I agreed to it! Perhaps, it's the influence of my babe. He is usually the 'tidak-apa' kind (or in a more harsh Chinese words called - ahem... MT), full of confidence and always relax. I wish I have more of these traits.

Nonetheless, as I said, the final exam is just around the corner. 4 days to be exact. When it gets nearer, says, a night before, maybe I'll explode. Who knows. LOL. I certainly hope everything will be okay. Good luck to all that are sitting for their final exam next week. All the best and best of luck to babe and myself! Luck fairy, I really need you to be on my side! :)

Laughter is the best medicine... and it's also good for one to calm down and relax! I could use to have some of it! Haha...

So hey dudes and dudettes, here is something for you all to giggle upon! Found these while browsing thru the net. Have a laugh!

That's relationship! And I'm gonna print plenty of these slips for babe! LOL... just kidding! :D

The Chronicles of Narnia

2011-02-11T01:03:00.000+08:00

Part of my CNY was spent burying myself in novel. I'm so glad that I could spare some time allowing myself to drift into some fictional world (sometimes I wish there is one exists). I ♥ semester break! During schooling day, I could hardly touch any novel let alone reading one. Time is too tight!

Seeing this picture above, you might have guessed what novel I had been reading. Yup, The Chronicles of Narnia. I bought it a very long time ago, I can't remember when. But I never get to finish it. Started by flipping through a few pages, and then snoozing off! Why? I never have to snooze off whenever I'm enjoying a novel. But The Chronicles of Narnia, a classic children literature written during the late 1940s - 1950s by C.S. Lewis, has some really old fashioned way of writing, and sometimes, tough English too. Well, I can't really describe the actual way of Lewis story-telling. But if you ever grab a hold onto the Sherlock Holmes fictional detective series (which dated way even earlier, around 1880s), you will know what I meant.

Anyhow, I managed to finish the entire 7 series of the novel this time! Maybe because I was too bored and so I had the patient to slowly digest the words. Or perhaps, I was itched to read some novels an drift into some fantasy again. But for sure, I wanted to read the novel because of the recent release of the movie (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader). Have to been to the cinema for this movie? Don't hesitate, just go for it! It was really worth seeing in big screen. Though I like Harry Potter's series more, I hate their movie adaption. The Chronicles of Narnia's movie adaption is way way way much better!

7 series in total, and I finish them in an approximate of 3 days! Muahaha! I'm great!

Here is the order of the series that you should follow, if you ever are interested in reading:
1. The Magician Nephew
2. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

Honestly, I salute C.S. Lewis. The Chronicles of Narnia really redefine the entire fantasy of the fiction novels. It sometimes could really put other fiction novels to shame. Reading them would really make you wanna be in this Narnian universe. At least it does for me. How nice if there is other this nice other world beside the one we are living in now. Anyways, if you are really into it, the series could really serve as an escape for reality, at least for awhile. Haha. Lock yourself up, and enjoy travelling in the land of Narnia. :)

Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale

2010-12-03T14:29:00.000+08:00

I'm sure many of us girls (I'm sure boys too) grew up learning about Rapunzel, a princess with luscious, 70 feet long of magical golden hair that we came to love and envy. In this retelling of Brother Grimm's fairytale, Rapunzel's hair would glow magically whenever it is sing to as a result of the inheritance of the magic in the magical flower. Though a little far-fetch, it's amazing to see that Rapunzel's blond locks could actually be used to do all kind of stuff. It makes me wonder what did she do with her hair to make it so strong? A little magic of course. Imagine mine can be that healthy and I don't hafta worry about breakage or split end. It is really all girls' dream.

See what I meant when I said she could do all kind of stuff with her hair!

In a Disney story like this, there is always an antagonist, who is lady in old age, ugly, and wicked. Don't you think this pattern always follows? Hmm... I wonder what is wrong with being old? Back to the story, the antagonist here is Mother Gothel, who kidnapped Rapunzel and isolated her in a tall tower so that she can selfishly own the magic inherited in Rapunzel's golden hair to keep herself young.

Disney's princesses' tale always involve princes. Rapunzel, on the contrary, has a bandit as the princess's true love. Though most wanted by the kingdom, Flynn Rider (real name is Eugene Fitzherbert) is also the most charming guy in town. Being a thief, he is definitely cheeky. Of course he falls for Rapunzel in the end, and it is good to see that how love could melt even the coldest heart.

Beside Rapunzel's golden hair, the next thing I love the most is Maximus - the super cop-like horse! LMAO, you really gotta see the movie for yourself!

Not forgetting Rapunzel's pet chameleon - Pascal, who is often mistaken as a frog. He is definitely a cute little thing. And I just wish real life chameleon would be that cute!

Walt Disney's princesses' stories always never failed to make me awed. Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale is all about the adventure, the humor, the romance, and not forgetting the musical. It is really a good piece of movie that you should invest your bucks in for a 2 hours of heart-warming moments.

A Little Gathering @ U-Yen Japanese Buffet

2010-11-26T04:26:00.000+08:00

Finally, I get to meet up with my beloved 'family', yay! We had a little gathering @ U-Yen Japanese Buffet (previously known as Momo Japanese Buffet), located in Centrepoint, Bandar Utama.

Of course, it was a night full of chatter and laughter as well as sushi, shasimi, teriyaki, tepanyaki, you name it. I'm glad to be able to update myself on the lives of my buddies. I miss them much! (^.^)

Nonetheless, despite all the joyfulness, there bound to be some flaws (not all I can discuss here though). One of them was the food. They were not sucks, but they were not yummylicious either. At a price of RM49.90++ per pax, I simply expect more. Maybe like something we can get at Jogoya, which would only cost me price about that range at the current ongoing promotion. The atmosphere was not exhilarating too. The lightings are too yellowish and dim. Frankly I felt a bit mood-less there.

Nevertheless, thumbs up for the green tea ice-cream. I simply love it, and have 3-4 servings of it! Though I will miss the green tea ice-cream, I would never go back, not even for a visit.

U-Yen (Momo) Japanese Buffet - Banned!

Us, after the meal

Couples of the night :)

Row Row Row A Boat

2010-08-26T02:09:00.000+08:00

This is the most calm fight I ever had with him. Or I think so..

I did swore, I raised my voice a little over the phone. But at least I didn't cry, though I would like to shed tears. I hope tears could flows easily like those days, at least they said crying could make one feels better.

I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore.

I thought we were supposed to work together, encourage each other, push each other to the best that we can achieve. I thought we had had a mutual agreement on this matter.

I tried my best to fulfill my part of the agreement. I don't mind doing more. I don't mind reminding you to do your part, which is something I did not like. There is a saying which goes "it's hard for you to change the others; it's easier for you to change yourself". I understand this, therefore I learned to compromise. I learned to see things differently. Doing things that I would not like to do if I'm still the old me. I knew you have sacrificed as well, possibly more. Therefore by compromising, I hope to ease your burden. Perhaps, you don't agree.

But I just couldn't take it when I learned that you took the initiative to remind ** of something important, but not reminding me. I was disappointed. I thought we are a team. The news came as a shock to me, and I felt as if I'm slapped tight on the face! I finally realize that I'm a lone soulja rowing the boat that is carrying us both. Rowing alone through a large ocean, which is covered with massive fog. We don't know what ** is doing because ** never share and we had to tell ** everything every time ** ask. It was just so unfair. I thought we had a common agreement to help each other since this situation is inevitable. Looks like I'm wrong. You have been sending signal to ** secretly. Maybe it's just miscommunication between us, but the slap definitely woke me up.

I finally also realize that not only I'm rowing the boat alone, you have been discouraging me to row as well all this while! You are pulling me back. You rather we sink ourselves into this deep and cold ocean. Why would you do that? Maybe it's just miscommunication again, I quote you.

Nonetheless.. there has always been another problem lurking in our relationship since the start of MBA. Bottom line...

I don't want to be your secretary, your servant, nanny, or mom.

Even more, I don't wanna be your shadow!

I want to be able to be myself again!

But it is of no avail no matter how much I wish for it... *sob*

Dream oh Dream

2010-07-18T23:34:00.000+08:00

Inception.

There are one-oh-one reasons that you should go for it...

It's the most original movie I've seen. Not based on book, comic, game, or any other sources. It's totally ground-breaking, remarkably complex and layered. Fantastic dreamscapes to be explored, and very perspective-challenging. It's a one film that does not assume that it is playing to an audience made up of 8-year-olds. It rightfully assumes that audience can embrace the complex ideas. You would probably get a headache after the movie. I did... information overload. My friend told me he even spilled his Coke at one scene! Lol.

It's the product of an amazing Nolan-DiCaprio team-up, and a supporting dream team cast consisting Micheal Caine, Ken Watanable, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and more. Any movie that is starring Leo DiCaprio, I'll go for it. He is not just a pretty face. Not anymore the boy from Titanic. If you have seen Blood Diamond, or the recent Shutter Island, you would understand what I actually meant. And it's developed from the director of The Dark Night. So you know the quality is there.

After you have seen it, it could be the only thing you will want to talk about for at least the next week. Walking out of the movies do left us with meta questions. If I were to get something to be learnt out of this movie, I would say that ideas are contagious, powerful and unstoppable and these ideas shape the way we live and think. It makes you wonder how you have become the person you are now, and explores how the things you have experienced have affected the decisions you made and will make. An article even said that after seeing it, one won't just like Inception, one will be a better person. Lol.

So... what you are waiting for?

Buy a ticket to see it!

Let's get yourself be drawn into the world of subconscious espionage!

And be entertained the hell out of Inception!

P/S: In case you would like to discover more, and clarify things, read this to get the answers for the questions that are playing in your mind after you have seen the movie. Only AFTER you have seen the movie!

What A Day II: A Date

2010-07-13T13:22:00.000+08:00

Done with the make-up. Simple one will do, I think of myself. Afterall, nudity is the new beauty. I had flipped through all the dresses in my cupboard, and found myself cancelling off each dresses that came to my hand as I looked into the mirror. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. Ahha! Maybe it's time to shop, to add new treasures to my cupboard. Nope, stop! I can't afford to further shrink my already very tight wallet! Okay, no shopping today. I made myself promise to this! I will control my desires!

While I was consumed in my own thoughts, the phone rang. Babe's here! Quickly, I put on a simple black & white dress plus a cardigan, swiftly brushed my hair again, then I'm off! Heading to Mid Valley. I'm excited!

First of all, we went to Chili's for lunch. I know, I know, a dinner would be more appropriate for a date. But we both vowed to slim down, to shake off the fats we gained during the exam weeks and semester break. Lol. So here we were at Chili's, at 2pm.

Babe took this because there's a chili behind.

It represents me - Babe calls me Jalapeno x.X

I had a cocktail - Mandarin Blush.

Babe had a bottomless fruit juice. =)

Our appetizer xD

Wings Over Buffalo & Fries which taste superb!

My main dish - Tortillas! Yum yum...

Babe's main dish - of which the name I forgot xD

See the handsome guy beside me.. Only if his abs is as 'handsome'.. ahh.. xD

Later on, we went for a movie. We had some difficulty in choosing the movie. There were so many choices. I wanted to see Knight and Day but Babe already watched it, so.. pass. We heard A-Team is great, and Despicable Me is funny.. but.. not the type of movies I want to see on a date.. pass. Haha.. we had plenty of time to choose the right movie as there was a long long queue. At last, we decided. The Backup Plan. This will do. One with love-comedy genre.

Lovely. Funny. Touchy.

Yeah.. this would be my verdict for The Backup Plan.

J. Lo is as stunning as usual. Apart from the really good storyline,

what caught my attention is him.. Alex O'Loughlin and his packs!

If this picture is not enough, search the web for more.

Or better still, go for the movie.

I know I'm crazy.. lol.. But I'm one of the girls who have a thing over packs.

And I hope Babe would work it out.. haha xD

At night, we kissed goodbye. It's really a beautiful day.

Spain won, yummlicious lunch at Chili's, and watched a lovey dovey movie with the actor showing off his packs.. ahh.. life is great! *satisfying smile*

What A Day I

2010-07-13T01:24:00.000+08:00

The sun rays penetrated into my room through the windows and I felt warmth on my eyes. I moaned for not adjusting the curtains well the night before. And then, something struck me. I literally sprung to sit up straight, and looked for my phone the first thing I opened my eyes. Gosh... What's the result? I did not stayed up late to watch the final match between Netherlands and Spain. I know, I know, people says I should because it happens only once every 4 years. But, I'm worried of getting heart attacks!!! So I made Babe to promise to message me the results once the match ends.

I flipped my phone... ... ... ... ... Yayyyyy! SPAIN WON!!! Instantaneously I felt a smile from ear to ear spread across my face. I laid back on my beds, resting myself on the pillow that I grumbled about last night but seems soft now, wrapping myself in the icy cold blanket, relieving myself of the brief tension I built earlier.

Congratulation~! ^.^

Today is going to be a great day!

A date with Babe later. God knows for how long we didn't go out for a real date, with just the 2 of us.

Today is going to be a great day, I repeated to myself.

Clash of the Titans

2010-07-04T15:13:00.000+08:00

Just came back from a gathering session with my dear babes from Taiping. It was not a gathering session, really. It was more like a "world cup fever" session, especially to me & Ai Wei. xD We were crazy over football and handsome players *squint*, and kept commenting on past matches. It was a real challenge to ignore the match when there was such a big screen in front of us, and everyone surrounding us were there just for the sake of watching the big match between the titans. Argentina vs. Germany.

If you have read my previous post, you would know I supported Argentina. Honestly this was the first 2010 World Cup match that I ever watched. And I think I got a heart attack!!! Gosh...

I was like them at the end of the match.. total disappointment, and sad.

I think Argentina's confidence tore apart

and were totally shaken by the 2-minute's goal of Germany.

Dang the first German's goal!

Argh.. The German were good with their counter attacks later too.

4-0! Honestly, Argentina's defeat to Germany is like a kick on the face to them! I thought they could at least made it to the top 4.

3 fav teams, 2 out... both beaten severely by the German sausages. This is the first match I watched, and I was left heart-broken! Nonetheless, tight hugs to the Albiceleste! You guys are still the best!

BFF

2010-07-01T21:57:00.000+08:00

Friends.

And what he said later sound like humming in the background.

I wander away while still clinging to the phone, agreeing here and then to what he has to say. Yet, I know he got what I meant all wrong. I don't mean the friends problem... in that way. No, not about the way we were going back to the times when we first got together. Not about freedom. Not his concerns... Though I agree it's hard to look for friends in MBA that you want to hang out for life, especially when you are taking night classes. The problem, lies in me. Me myself.

How shall I present my case?

Weeks before, I took a personality quiz on a magazine which is titled "Are you a man's woman, or a girl's girl", and my scores turned out that I'm neither a man's woman, nor a woman's woman. "You are your own woman". I had guessed so, because I know I'm not especially good with any girls or guys. Although I'm pleased with "The Ups" of which I'm flattered to say here, I still can't stop thinking on the dark side.

I don't have a real best friend.

The girls I hang out with are my best friends. But real best friends, I don't think so. Because I can't confess my problem, my emotion to them. They would not care to spend time hear you babbling away with your thoughts, because their lives centered around themselves. And I don't trust them enough to ensure that I'm safe from backslash and betrayal. Been there many times, and ended up licking my own wounds and wished I had keep my mouth shut! Maybe it's hard to deal with girls. I always find guys are more easy going. We never fight. Oh... maybe except P because he is a monster. It's time to redefine the relationship with them, and decided to stay on the surface will do.

And, I'm left with nobody.

Ahh... The girls that I considered real best friends, are miles apart. We only met each other like, once a quarter? This pattern repeats for 4 to 5 years and now I feel like I can't really really blend with them already. Thanks to the babes, we are all making effort to keep in touch every chances we have. I love them. Still...

The problem is not solved. I need someone to be there. Or at least, someone who I know would be there, soon. Someone to shop with. Someone to care for. Someone who would understand and doesn't need me to prove my case. Someone to gossip with. To hang out like twins! She and she, and even she has. I don't have even one!

I'm unhappy for months. And maybe it's just self-fulfilling prophecy, this matter get worse because I often feel like I'm overshadowed. It's something like Blair and Serena in Gossip Girl, and I'm Blair. Serena is the one who gets all the sunshine and attention, and I'm Serena's friend. Nobody seems to care that I'm Blair. The difference is my Serena is not a girl, but a guy.

They fight. But still they are friends for life.

I want one.

Well, after I think over the matter again and again, I realize that I actually have one real best friend. Or can I consider him in that light? I can confess to him anything, and care not that I would look stupid or say something wrongly. We gossip every now and then and won't fear of betrayal. We understand each other. Console each other. Hang out together. We learn to shop together. *smile* But... he is my babe. My bf. Could my bf also be my BFF? I sort of want them to be a separate persons. Sometimes, only sometimes, I wish he is not my bf, so he can be my BFF, my twins!

*Sigh*

The Twilight Saga

2010-07-01T10:49:00.000+08:00

5 days, and I've finished 3 out of the 4 books (gladly skipped New Moon) of the Twilight Saga. I'm so awed by myself! In case you raised an eyebrow to question what is to be awed of, the books are as thick as bricks ya know?!

Have a thing about sparkling vampires? or having a vampire and werewolves fighting over you is a secret desires of yours? Like it or hate it, the Twilight saga is huge around the world. If you want to have a taste on contemporary forbidden love affairs.. go to the bookstores and pick up the novels. Or.. you can hit the cinema. But.. I don't know.. to me.. the movie sucks! To the max!

The Twilight Saga.

Breaking Dawn is the best!

My verdict? Harry Potter's series are still the best! *Squint*

Depressing Novels

2010-06-28T22:15:00.000+08:00

I've been burying myself in novels... it has been awhile since I touch, let alone read one. I've finished one with a total of 498 pages yesterday, and I am almost done with the second one. I think I should stop for awhile, taking it slowly, else I'll run out of novels to read soon.

It is Eclipse, if you are wondering what am I reading. I skipped New Moon, and went straight from Twilight to Eclipse. I guess I'll pass being bored to death with New Moon, and spare myself from all the dark thoughts Bella's having while Edward's gone. I have had enough to deal with my own emo-ness.

Nonetheless, did I mention, as I read through the pages, I find that the story is actually quite depressing. Bella's characters are... all wrong to be the main character... she is too, normal. And depressing. Not the one that could inspire you to do great things. I see me in this character. Lack of confidence for instance. No faith in myself.

Bla bla... I should stop now. I still don't feel like talking about what had been bothering me for some time... Not now...

The English Lost

2010-06-28T00:10:00.000+08:00

The English lost! Just as I had expected... but still very doomed... :'( ...

@ my facebook, I shouted if Fattie Roo was not left wriggling his fat arse in the field, there might still be some hope. I held it true! But it's also true that England lack of teamwork. It has always been like this. Sigh.

I wanna pout as long as I can...!

The World Cup Frenzy

2010-06-27T22:21:00.000+08:00

Seeing this familiar logo, I doubt that anyone could not have a good guess of what I'm going to talk about tonight.

Tonight is the night!... England will be playing against Germany... Gosh will England share the same fate as USA, pack their bags and go back to their homeland, or they will survive and took another step closer to victory?

Not likely... was what I've been thinking since I knew England will be kicking against Germany. Seeing how England has underperformed certainly anxious me. Not that I don't wanna have more faith in my favorite team. That Rooney... he better put on some serious actions tonight, or I'll call him fat arse forever! Duhhh...

Well I hope I'll be seeing this pose on the paper
or across the internet tomorrow~!
*Persuading some faith into me*

Yup!... England was my favorite team. And I guess they still are, since I'm still concerned whether they can make it through. Ahha! Nonetheless, I'm not having the World-Cup-fever like I used to have. Plainly because my favorite player, since I was in high school, is not playing this year. I knew it months before that Owen is less likely to be playing at this year World Cup, but I wouldn't let myself into believing it. And often 'tortured' Babe whenever he told me that. Lol... But the reality finally kicked in when the World Cup kicked off eventually.

Did I tell you why he is my all time favorite?
Ahem.. besides the good look (for me)..

I find he is always, mostly, the savior of the game.. he is good at what he is doing!

And this fact caused to be less interested in World Cup. I guess it's because I suddenly don't have any team to support, and when that happens, I guess it's meaningless to be excited over even something this big. It just feels dull...

Anyways, Babe is supporting Spain & England, although he preferred the former team, God and everyone close to him know why. Ahha! I guess then, if I want to feel the football frenzy again, (after all it happens only once every four years!), I must choose a team or two to support, huh. Hmm... I'm eyeing Spain because of Babe & Torres, England as usual, and Argentina because of Messi! Ahha... Let's plan something for the finals will ya'~! ;p

Babe always imagined himself to be Torres-like..
Although I don't see any resemblance of this great striker in him... xD

You see him now, you see him not.. He is fast!
And do you notice he is wearing my favorite no. 10?
Exactly what I like him for... He seems like Owen, (although of course, Owen wins in looks)
Or maybe better than Owen. =)

Remembering The Great King

2010-06-26T11:19:00.000+08:00

I was listening to my fav radio this morning, and felt curious on how the DJs kept playing Michael Jackson's greatest hits. I don't have to swim in my head for long to know why... Today is June 25th! I immediately know the reason. Last year today, the great king passed away! Oh my...

My fav MJ's concert.
Live in Bucharest =)

Time flies.. they say. And I never know what that saying really meant, until today. Time really flies, not only literally. I still freshly remember today, a year before, I was driving, on my way to work. Babe & I was totally shocked when the radio announced MJ's death. Is it for real? Or is it a prank? I asked myself. And later when the fact kicked in and we accepted the bewildered news, we hugged to comfort each other. The fact that MJ has gone forever seems so unreal.

I was awed by how fast time passed. I went for interviews. I worked, and I quit working. I'm in my second semester, already. Many things seems just so recent to me. Sighed. What have I accomplished? I'm not sure myself. Then it must meant... I've accomplished nothing. Not to mention I've this unhealthy thought that has been bugging me for awhile.. will write about it someday, not now.

Tuning to my player on my comp, 90% of my playlist is occupied with MJ's songs. Some of them are so inspiring, I felt as though there were sang specifically to me. To tell me something. Man in the mirror is my fav. MJ, you might be gone, but our memories of you will live on! Your voices will live on! XOXO

I used to think his concerts are the only one that
worth my time, money, and strength.
I still believe so.
(Wait till you pick up a dvd and watch for yourself)

Happy Father's Day & Home Sweet Home

2010-06-23T23:22:00.000+08:00

23rd June 2010

It feels never better to be at home once again~! Ahhh... happie~! I've been home for 3 days and there were a stretch of activities going on...

On Sunday, we celebrated father's day. Ironic izzit, that it is father's day yet the fathers are the ones who have to pay the bills (in the event when all his children are still studying, not working yet)? Haha... Nevertheless, we still celebrated it with our style, having yummy-licious dinner at a restaurant, and bought a big pandan-layered cake for dad (as he doesn't like creams)... Emmm... yum yum... I miss the cake! xD

Oh ya, and before that we kids went for a badminton session and had a whole lot of fun! Especially when the 'double-Vin' (Kelvin & Alvin) were playing against each other. And it was definitely a good workout too, for me. I'm really really chubby already thanks to exams!

On Monday, we went to Sushi King for dinner. Too bad dad wasn't there because he has gone back to Penang for work. We certainly were their biggest customers for the night, as we ate mountains and mountains of sushi! Feeling greattttt! But too bad the waiter kept the plates early as our table was too packed already... haha... and hence we didn't take any pics! Argh... Nevermind we can come another time. And after dinner, we went for a movie - The Karate Kid. Thumbs-up!

On Tuesday, we went for skating ala roller skate~! Yohoo it was so much fun... besides falling on the ass for several times la. I previously hated skating, as I do not know how to control and balance myself... and I felt it was a waste of time and money. And I certainly was afraid of falling because I've experienced it once during young and it hurted my buttocks damn much! Hah... but then this time I tried... to skate... putting my fear aside... because... I paid a lot for it! xD It was a wonderful feeling~! Yeah... should go back for more!

On Wednesday, we went to Penang. Sis bought herself and mom new handphone. She is so rich now la... lol! And we went for Kek Lok Si, although it was almost closing when we finally got there. Too bad. Many friends told us they operated till night time (although they themselves are not so sure la), seems like we just don't have our luck. But we managed to meet up with dad and had a very very big and yummy dinner! All the food... I know I swear to gamfei but how can I say no to all the nice food?

Wrapped everything up in 1 post because I'm tooooooo lazyyyyy! My processor a.k.a brain is currently still not functioning at its max... the power drained during the past 2 months, and I'm recharging myself. Haha... I'll write more post soon~! ^.^

Zhilin's Birthday 2010

2010-03-22T13:43:00.000+08:00

20th March

He is officially 23 now! And every year, he will organize a celebration.

This time, it was a simple dinner at Kim Gary.

This time, it was the first birthday he celebrated with his first love - Yvonne.

This time, he was being sooOOoo generous to treat us for the dinner *"touched"*. Not the usual Lin at all... joking joking.

Zhilin & Yvonne

Everyone else finished their food, but dear Von was still chewing on hers!

And her food was not even half gone... too slow ler ba! >.<

Kelvin & Michelle.

We are sooOOoo fatttt!!! >.<

Later that night, instead of going up to Genting to continue the celebration as suggested by Ah Bee, everyone else opted for clubbing. Of course la those clubbers outnumbered those who wanna go Genting. And Ah Bee had no choice but to give in. Haha! Joking la... And finally we rested ourselves at The Opera.

The night at The Opera was a total disaster!

The DJ was so sux that we can't even feel high after many drinks.

I think it was superbly expensive for the musics like that.

It was so very boring!!!

I like this pic!

Because it's the only 1 that is not cacat like the rest. ^.^

Almost everyone is here...

Except Kelvin, Zhilin, and half a me... LOL.

And what is Alex trying to do?

Happy Birthday again Zhilin!

EFE 2010

2010-03-08T13:54:00.000+08:00

3rd-7th March

After the scrumptious meals I had 2 days before and ample resting, I'm back to work, in a part time job. This time it was an Export Furniture Exhibition, held at MAEPS (Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang).

MAEPS is Asia's largest and most comprehensive showground and exposition facility. And a more surprising fact to me was that MAEPS is actually a property of UPM & MARDI, and it is located just a few kilometres away from UPM's campuses and hostels. The building certainly looks giant to me. I'm in awed because it never appear to me that UPM compound was so so big. Along the way to MAEPS I can see 2 football fields! *gasp*

Export Furniture Exhibition, or better known as EFE is a globally recognized event. Already in its 6th series this year, this event was held in conjunction to our country mission to become the world leading exporter of furniture (Malaysia is currently the world's 10th largest furniture exporter). I never know about this. *squint* More than 320 leading manufacturers and exporters from Asia, around the world and especially Malaysia will be showcasing their attractive, innovative and exciting furniture designs in this fair. It is a must-visit event for the industries players, buyers, and visitors in their quest for market expansion and business growth.

I worked as a promoter in Caccina, a local sofas manufacturing company, that manufacture mainly high-end leather sofas. As this is an international fair, my job scope include ushering, serving, and abit of selling to mainly international buyers. It was kind of an interesting experience as I get to know people from all walks of life, of multiple origins. It was a tough job at first because I'm not familiar with what I'm supposed to do or say (and the bosses were certainly not helpful at all), and I have difficulty in understanding those foreigners' English, and on top of all, my feet were aching like hell because of my heels!!! Argh...!!!

But luckily I learnt my lesson quick and switched to wearing flats instead the next day. Phewww... As the days went by, I was more familiar with the job. And am really quite happy with this job because I actually get to know better of more people, as in my colleagues. They are the ones that enlightened my days at work. So I guess it true when they say sometimes it's not the company that make you wanna keep your job, it's the people you work with. =)

5 days are over, and tomorrow - back to school! Yeah ^.^

The Craze at New Box

2010-02-21T13:45:00.000+08:00

Feb 20

I think it was my second or third time singing karaoke at New Box, now one of the better karaoke lounges in Taiping. 11 of us (then reduced to 9) who loved gathering turned up. Everytime our room will turn into a concerto... cheering for everyone no matter how good or bad we had sung. Oh I definitely love this feeling~!

Girls rule.

I miss the other 3 angles!!

The guys. Can't stop singing even when taking photos.

All of us =)

Lets do it again!

Lets gather again some times this year. I miss all the fun, and I miss all of u~! Muacks!

A Day Trip to Penang

2010-02-20T14:45:00.000+08:00

Feb 19

It's time for dad to visit the doctor again, and so we all decided to accompany him in case he is "afraid"... joking larh. We just wanna keep our beloved dad accompanied. Hence we hit the road to Penang. With my sis as the driver. Of which I truly am scared of. And I kept insist everyone to fasten their seat belts. Haha! Real scarrrryyyyy... ...

About 1 and 1/2 hours, we safely arrived our destination - Pantai Hospital. Thank you God.

Dad thought today onwards his left leg will be freed from the plaster bandage, but instead the doctor surprised him by telling that he will be given another 2 weeks of MC. Because this time his foot will be plastered at 90 degree. Guess my dad will need to hop with his right leg and/or continue using his walking sticks. Poor daddy~!

We all thought dad's foot will be unplastered today, and wanted to sign on it.

But then dad kept saying "No no no..." xD

Bth... so I took charge and wrote something on it~!

Ta-da~! Get well soon dad~! =)

After lingering in the hospital for almost 2 hours, dad finally came out with a brand new plaster bandage on his left foot. Hoho! Should I say "congratulations!"? Ahha! I'm naughty I know! xD

Later on Audrey said she wanted to taste again the famous Penang Laksa at Aiyer Hitam. Our uncle used to bring us there for the laska on the way back from Batu Ferringhi. It was years ago, when we both were still kids.

When we were finally there, it was so so jam! Both traffic and human jam. -.- I was thinking the laksa should be damn nice since so many people were waiting for tables. There was this idiotic rude uncle just sat on the table that we had patiently waited for around 20 minutes. Hello, there are people still eating la, respect abit k? And the uncle is a Chinese somore, what a disgrace!

The oh-so-famous Penang Laksa. Finally here!

Waited for a table till blood rushed up to my face!

The oh-so-famous Penang Laksa was so-so only larh! I honestly think (and everyone agrees), mom's laksa taste even better! 100% better! Oh-me-god!

Later during night time, we sent our aunt to the airport as she is going back to Australia today. Smooth sailing auntie. =) Another 2 hours spent at the airport... I was too boring till my bro and I kept disturbing and fighting each others. How kiddy~! But this is how I spent the time more "meaningfully". It was fun bullying someone younger than me 12 years, because I'm the one with the control. Muahaha! xD

Before hitting the road back to Taiping, we decided to have our dinner at Pizza Hut. Great~! And we safely reach Taiping around 12am. Thank you God. Haha~!

锦衣卫

2010-02-18T00:15:00.000+08:00

Feb 17

Went to cinema for a Chinese movie today with my friends, and I DID NOT REGRET! Yay! ^^

Previously I told myself I'm not gonna waste my money to see anymore Chinese movie in the cinema, unless it has either Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Because somehow when they say chinese movies are "artistic", I find they sux!

But 锦衣卫, totally change... erm, perhaps abit of my perception regarding Chinese movies!

Starred by Donnie Yen & Zhao Wei. Also starring Wu Zhun, Xu Zi San, and Qi Yu Wu

The story is what a Chinese called 凄美, which means sad but beautiful... It was funny at times, and Donnie Yen as usual, awed me with his kung fu moves~! And I cried in the end! T__T I definitely would wanna watch this movie again. (So now in total I wanna watch again 2 movies! Haha!)

Okay so now I guess I'll add 1 more person in my list... Donnie Yen. If a Chinese Movie has Jackie Chan, Jet Li or Donnie Yen, I'll watch it in the cinema~! Yup yup yup! =)

WooHoo!

2010-02-17T22:59:00.000+08:00

Feb 16

Every year we would have a CNY gathering. Like last year, we held one at Ching Ni's house. This year's invitation was done thru one social networking site that you and me like to visit... Facebook~! Yup~!

This year's gathering was organized by a gang of friends that called themselves "五虎" xD

Because it is the year of Tiger.

Zero Cost, but everyone hafta bring something... a potluck gathering?! -.-

And so I made this... Cute bear bear jellies =)

Which were the first and only food that were finished that night~! Proud proud~! =)

With Ching Ni, the house owner as well as one of my best friends~! ^^

With Soo Chean, another best friend of mine~!

I think this picture is lovely~! ^.^

The Seven Angels (this is what we called ourselves during high school... funny huh?! xD)

Erm... there is definitely nothing wrong with your calculation, because only 4 of us turned out tonight! The other 3 were... oh well... we will meet sometime later~! =)

All the leng luizzz~! =)

Now with the guys~! =)

And not forgetting that we ended this gathering with "lou sang" =) Nice~!

We have around 30 plus or less people turned up for this gathering, the numbers were lesser than last year though. Well, at the end of the gathering we were already thinking what to do for next year CNY gathering... xD Perhaps some ball kind of gathering at Flamingo Hotel?

Oh ya, thru the chit-chatting I got to know that my high school produced quite a number of stars for the year of 2004. One of them is the winner of Supermodel called Sam Ong... well, he was just in the next class to mine but I never noticed him. Even though I saw his pics and no matter how hard I tried to, I still can't recall that he was my schoolmate...! LOL xD Another one is Kok Wai, very talented dancers, and according to Ching Ni he won the "Show Me You Can Dance" talent show.

Well well well... what will I be?? Que Sera Sera... ...

Reunion Dinner

2010-02-17T12:14:00.000+08:00

Feb 15

I just came back from grandpa's house. What a tiring day...

Today was a very busy day as it was our family turn to prepare the reunion dinner... =) You must be confused why we had reunion dinner on Chor Ee huh? My family has this very "special" tradition. Because we have 3 Shu's families here, thus each family will prepare dinner on 1 day... and hence, we have 3 reunion dinners in total for every year... haha! Such a "full-filling" CNY huh!

My family =)

Sam Suk (uncle no. 3)'s family =)

Lai Suk (youngest uncle)'s family =)

Mom decided to make it simple and nice this year... and hence we had...

KFC~! and fruit salad~! Simple yet nice leh... =D

Look at my dad's leg...

He had to go for an operation because of a broken tendon.

The result of playing badminton without warming up first!

Get well soon dad =)

The youngest member of our families. Only 2 years old and she knows how to pose for photos!

What a day~! =) As we were on the way back, we were already discussing what should we prepare for next year reunion dinner... haha~! =)

Chor Yat

2010-02-14T17:59:00.000+08:00

Feb 14

When I grew up, Chinese New Year is like "just another day"... except it comes with all the mouth-watering dinners, mandarins, love letters, and not to forget the ang pausSS!! XD Gone were the days when I was always looking forward to CNY, which full of all the thrills (which I don't recall what) and fun with cousins... But now, everyone has grown up.

This year, I wanna make it a little different... and so today, I woke up, and played dress-up~! Hahaha! (>.^)V

Actually was too boring, till we started to camwhore... xD

With dad who hardly smile in front of the camera

Mommy~!

Charmed? Charming? X.X

With Alvin, who has gel-up his hair... -.- This millennium kid... tsk tsk tsk...

"Lak ku (Hokkien)" means uncle number 6 =)

Sunburn

2010-02-14T17:27:00.000+08:00

Feb 13

Okayyy... those who knew and saw my second sis - Audrey - before would have a rough idea of how fa... I mean, plump she was. Now if you have the chance to see her again, she was soooOOOooo darn hawwtttt~! O.M.G.

She weighs only 42kg now, while I'm 47kg!! HELL I MUST DIET already!

But when I think of the reunion dinnerSSS that we were going to have this one whole week... I go T__T

And so I thought I could do with some exercising, and thus offered to wash all 3 cars of the house, and helped mom to clean the floor outside~! My uncle said I was never that hardworking before... what larh?! Sweat sweat sweat... -.-" But I enjoyed the chores somehow =)

And the result is... I don't know whether I reduced some weights already or what. But what I do know is... I got sunburn all over my back!!! It is sooOOoo painful... Woowoo T.T I learnt the lesson of never to wear spaghetti clothes when washing cars. Better still, never wash car under the scorching hot sun! Its rays just lay on me without mercy!

Now I hafta bear with the pain... T_T

And babe cannot sing something like... "I'm bringing sexy back" liao... joking XD

Home Sweet Home

2010-02-14T16:47:00.000+08:00

Feb 12

Suffered 6 long hours, finally I'm back home! Aaahhhh... home sweet home~!

No, the highway was not that jam. It was my car that caused me the trouble. I hafta stop at several rest areas to cool down the car temperature. And the worst thing was, I hafta maintain the speed at 90-100km/h!! I was darn sleepy larh X( And the scariest thingy was that I hafta stop by the highway right before the Ipoh tunnel because the temperature rose to 5 bars suddenly... luckily I'm not the only one there... There were several other cars too. Apparently they were having the same problem as mine. But, this was not so safe either... because I'm the only girl there. X( After an agonizing 30 minutes of being BBQ-ed under the hot sun, a gentleman came over and offered to help. He said he is a foreman... Well, under such circumstances I hafta trust him... Several uncles also came over to ke-poh... XP All thanks to that young gentleman, without him I don't think I can get home that soon~! God bless him~! =)

Right after I came home, we went out for a delicious dinner at the usual restaurant in Kamunting, cum to celebrate Mei girl's birthday in advance... Yum yum yum... all the nice food! =)

Happy Be-early Birthday darling dear~! ^^

Back home, something awed me... Let the below pictures tell the stories, I took them secretly...

Alvin, my youngest bro, was discussing something in the phone with his friend...

Which sound really serious...

When I paid attention to their conversation... OMG...

They were actually calling each other on some online game matters...

My god... nowaday's children... XD

Bukit Tinggi Trip

2010-01-25T13:47:00.000+08:00

January 17-18

The night before the trip I was still in dilemma whether to go or not, because... I STILL HAVE A MOUNTAIN OF WORK TO DO!! T_T Going for trip before finishing my homework, I'll feel gulity de neh...

But no choice lor, room was booked, and I must go~! Babe said we should chill... so...

Here we were, hitting the road with Babe's 1.3 Red Myvi, or he likes to call it, the Prance~! -.-

First and foremost, a special thanks to Zhilin because of "you-know-what-reason". Hehe, thank you lin. Thank you, thank you!

Also, not forgetting the driver of the day, Babe... who drove us up the hill in ki-siao mode. It has been a long time since he did that, and honestly, it's QUITE THRILLING~! XD But because we ate our lunch before going up the hill, the rear seat passenger, a.k.a. Yvonne & Lin, felt like puking... Haha! Luckily I was in the front seat, the impact was still okayyyy~!

Well...

Although 2 days 1 night is kinda too bo

ring, although the food sucks and expensive to the max, although I was frighten by Lin about the hotel's mirror thingy... Still, I'm glad to be able to get some time off my busy schedule and relax for awhile. The scenery is darn beautiful, and the air is cooling too. And most importantly, with the accompaniment of Babe, Yvonne and Lin, any super boring trip can become so so so fun~!! XOXO, I love you guys~! Muacks~!!

And I'll conclude that the most fun thing in this trip is the horse riding~! Yup yup yup~! It was my first, and I longed to go back for more! And a little more regretful thingy is that I didn't get to try out the kinomo thingy, because it started to rain. And so I'll go back for more horse riding, and also to try out the kinomo and take lots and lots of pictures!! This time maybe with my

beloved family~! =)

Here are some photos that I like, the rest you can find them in my facebook photo album...

First time riding a horse ^.^

Looking at their asses, can you guess which is male and which is female?

I like this, because it seems like we were riding the horses ourselves! =)

Yvonne's horse is so pretty. And her name is Bonny~! =)

Mine named Mustang. And it was a super fierce horse, I can't even go near him. -.-

Big bears~! But I don't want them... Because I'm not much taller than them!! T_T

Us posing for Vincci's... LOL... joking~! XD

At night, I was so hungry I think I can eat a lamb!! Grrr...

The 4 of us~! ^^

It's the photo shooting session~! Yeah... Well, I particularly like these...

LOL... We were holding our laughters...

Could be better~! ^^

Romantic neh...

Babe claimed only he has the skill to take such pic -.-

Another nice one, and Babe is getting more lan-cy liao~! xD

We were trying to made the pictures speak some stories...

Zhilin said this one looks like I'm "owning" Kelvin... =.=

Then we changed position...

This pic always made me LOL to the max! How come Kelvin posed liddat? xD

In cantonese one says, "mou gan tai"...

After several failed attempts, this pic was born...

LMAO! Babe's kenot pose larh... xD

Some random photos... =)

~.*The French Village*.~

~.*Nice*.~

~.*Nice too*.~

~.*Even nicer because I'm in the pic~! Haha!*.~

~.*The swan that bit Zhilin's finger... hoho*.~

~.*The street during night time*.~

~.*Babe said this is Yeng-ness*.~

~.*Love this very much*.~

Oops, I Visit The Cinemas, Again!

2010-01-05T23:10:00.000+08:00

1/4

I cannot take it anymore... ... ...

There are soooOOOooo many good movies out there and yet I am stuck at home with all the homeworks, assignments, mid-terms... I must get the hell out of this house and head to my favorite place - The Cinemas!

And so I went, with Ah-Bee (and friends) of course... 3 nights in a row in cinema! That feels great! hahahaha....

1. Sherlock Holmes

It was downright witty and hilarious, and Robert Downey Jr. is such a captivating actor! A must see!

2. Alvin and the Chipmunks

Hmm... I would say 6/10?

3. Avatar

One word - Epic! James Cameron redefine the movie making industry, and Sam Worthington certainly lived up to my expectation. I wanna watch it the second, and this time must be in 3D!!! I wanna I wanna I wanna watch it again!!!

The 2009 List

2010-01-01T14:30:00.000+08:00

12/31

As I was on the way back from the evening class, happily chatting away with my friends, and I realized I've lived 2009 to the fullest... ermm...almost~! Ask me what happened in 2009, what I did, and what I 'accomplished', and I can name you a list!

There it goes:

1) Finally! I finished my 3-year-course in UTAR. I graduated! Yeah~! I'm abit let down by my final result, but overall it's still okayyyy. Haha! Great!

2) Went to my first ever trip-with-classmates to Malacca~! Yeah, and later on went to Langkawi with a few buddies. After that went to Cameron Highlands with me family~! Yoohoo! Although these are not some expensive trip to oversea, but I would say this is a lot for a graduation trip(s) huh. Keke =)

3) Attend my first ever convo~! I'm so grateful that my families were there to support, and to my surprise, 2 of my besties turned up! Not forgetting, I've got a brand new pink lappie from Ah-Bee~! *hearts*

4) Moved to a new apartment with 2 other friends @ Seri Kembangan. It's interesting because we have an agreement to swap room once every 3 months, and so far we swapped twice! Haha... I'm currently in the smallest room, but I'm finding it actually quite nice. Small but cosy~! However looking forward to get back to master room... *grin*

5) I joined the workforce a.k.a. rat race @ MYC! Those days are unforgettable! The super jam, getting lost in the concrete jungle, done a project, and getting my first hard-earned paycheck! Hohoho... It is an experience I will never forget, but it also makes me don't wanna return to this race evermore *if I can...*

6) My car got into a major accident on the highway to Taiping. But lemmi clarify, it was not ME who got my car into that accident, it was my SIS! Thank God she was okay, but poor car was admitted to the 'hospital'.

7) Started my master program @ UPM... Currently still surviving... *sobs*

8) Officially joined USANA, became a PP (Platinum Pacesetter), and earned my first paycheck from the company~! Yeah (^.^)V However the momentum dies away as the workload from my master degree picked up... *Gotta do something about it...*

... And alot more stuff. The list can just go on and on, more tiny miny thingy. I decided to just stop here. Gee... I'm looking forward to a better year~! Better year, better year, better year... yeah it will be~!!

Christmas? New Year? Duhhh...

2009-12-28T16:51:00.000+08:00

12/28

How did you celebrate your Christmas?

I knew my housemates went for Alvin and The Chipmunks, some friends gone to Singapore to enjoy I'm sure those very breathtaking Christmas view, some went to countdown at wherever they wanna be, fine dinner, exchanging presents, etc etc. Well, I spent this year's Christmas like every other days. Nothing special. Because Bee had to work lo... hohoho~! He has the most special celebration of all I guess... Hosting the Christmas countdown @ Ipoh's De Garden~! *I'm so proud of him*

That's why I "tumpang" his car back to Taiping. I'm soooOOooo glad I'm back home with my family~! All the good food & BoBo to bully & shoppings. Hey did I mention he just went for a haircut 1 or 2 weeks ago? He looks so adorable yet noob at the same time... LOL. It's a waste my sis didn't took any pic of him when his hair is still very very short. Now his hair is longer jor, but still looked noob.

Bee is going to work on the countdown again on New Year's Eve... So I guess I won't have any celebration lo. It's kinda sad when you can't spent such eventful days with your loved ones. Furthermore I really have a whole mountain of works to rush... T.T what a trimester. After reorganizing my calendar, I think I'll turn into ZOMBIE at the end of this trimester, which is Feb 2010. Huhhhhh.....

But I'm looking forward to the holiday Bee promised. Yeah~!! Ganbatte~!! Off to work, or snake loo...

A Random Piece

2009-12-11T00:05:00.000+08:00

12/11

This is a random piece, that I might hafta go thru someday in the future... Ahhaha... maybe geh.

I'm walking on the street, and I see,

Those couples, they fight and make up with a kiss,

We have been there before,

But it was so long ago, I was thinking of,

Well it makes me miss your... ohhh

How do you feel, when she touches the tips of your lips,

Does she feels the same way I did too,

I can't bare to think the sight of it,

My heart is tearing like a coat unzip,

All over again...

You will never know that I'm crying now... I made that decision doesn't mean I don't feel sad.

1 Down, 3 To Go!

2009-12-10T12:05:00.001+08:00

12/10

Woowoo... T_T

I'll be having midterms for a four consecutive weeks!

What a "back-to-study" life!

MBA is definitely not a "wet-wet-water" stuff.

There is a whole lot of assignments and term papers to complete.

Every week there will be either assignment due or presentation to prepare.

You don't get tips for exams. (unlike degree we were always spoon fed!)

When you thought you have done a "ok larh-to-good" job in revising and can conquer the exam, it turns out that the questions are soooo... as the professor said - "testing your understanding".

Answer till my hand going to breakdown!

Arghhhh... Hafta sharpen my "blow-water" skill jor!!! *sharpening the swords... I mean, my pens... I mean, the skill... Duhhh...*

Nonetheless, I still think it's better than working out there perhaps? Because I just so hate being stuck in traffic jam, wasting my time and getting frustrated then immune to it! Oh those days... *wondering back*

Anyways, good luck and all the best, to me & my bee! ...and also my mates! Ganbatte together ba!!!

Babe P/S: I wanna I wanna I wanna... go shoppinggggg :( and it has been a long time since we hit the cinema... Woowoo T_T When can we be free and go!???

Sanctuary

2009-12-05T12:31:00.000+08:00

12/5

Next Tuesday I'll be having OB midterm, next next Monday ME midterm, and next next next Saturday AFDM & OM midterms... Arghhh... 3 - 4 weeks of continuous torture... erm, did I just say torture? Phew... busy buzy~!

Too much to study, so I'll be going to "The Library" to revise... or at least I thought we were...

Otw to e@curve... Me & my new hair band~! Wee^.^

Instead, we landed at Sanctuary. Something quite annoying happened... that "he-thought-he-is-rich-uncle" lan-cy my babe... but luckily we had big hearts~! Ahha! The rating for yesterday night should be around 4/10 ba... lousy club lousy nite... Duhhhh...

As we were resting on the sofa

Noobee! Always like to take photo of me sleeping... -.-

This time include himself tim... -.-

Drank till I puked! But luckily babe made me eat 3 proflavano before I sleep... Else I'll be having a hangover now! Heee~! ^.^

Babe copy my look... LOL xD

Good Day Turned Bad

2009-12-03T11:27:00.000+08:00

12/3

Woke up thinking today could be a good day, but 15 or 20 mins later, I'm facing my computer, blogging, shedding tears.

Was able to buy some new dresses later in the day... but... it doesn't really cheer me up though.

I am thinking, do we hafta go thru all "these" whenever I wanna go shopping? Will you still be as kind as you were, without giving me all those "hard times" first?

*sigh*

I wanna go A.....!

"Parts" of My Day

2009-12-03T00:25:00.000+08:00

Today... dot dot dot.

The "sien-douuuu" part
Spend the whole afternoon finalizing... but yet to complete. To be exactly accurate we just finalized 1 chap and there are like, 8 more chaps to go, not to mention the appendices & references parts. *O.M.G*
Blahhhhh... I seriously think we should speed up la. Working like this is soooOOoo not efficient at all. Heh...but I know we can't stop gossiping & cr*pping de la~!

The "chong-dong" part
I walked back home. YUP I DID. From UTAR campus to Mahkota Cheras. A total of like 1.5 - 2 km. And when I reached home, only then I realized my key is with Baby. T.T... *weak*
Ask me why I did so? Coz kena "kek" by Baby la...

The "za-dou" part
Watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Baby & friends. It length-ed almost 3 hours, but then it's worth seeing. Tears not so much & laughters as well. Sometimes it bored me till death, yet my curiousity get the better of me, that I even tahan my pee till I finish the movie. LOL...

Hmm... suddenly thought of something. If I were asked to choose who I liked more, Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, I'll definitely go for the latter~! Hee... both are good in their own ways, yet I always feel there is something more about Cruise... He is like a brand himself, a niche of a niche. Just like Gucci or LV, Ferrari or Lambor... you wanna go for the latter ones. Just personal opinions.

Broga Hill

2009-12-02T00:31:00.000+08:00

12/1

Blog blog blog... It's time to blog about Broga Hill loooooo! Haha...

Before I start writing on the rest, I wanna say that I'm glad I didn't give up trekking last Friday (27th Nov 09). What an experience!! We should do it once more! xD

Well, initially I wanna give up because of several reasons. First of all, Bee & I just had a fight the night before... and because it seems to me that I couldn't talk some sense into his thick skull, I activated my "ignore mood" towards him! Next, I don't feel well. Whole body been aching for awhile, like I'm gonna fall ill anytime. Lastly, adding to worsen my body condition, I had insomnia! The clock struck 3:45am already but my mind was as awake as hell! ... Mama-mia! 45mins more and we hafta prepare to hit the road already! Woowoo... T.T

In the end, I went. Thanks to a-Bee~! ^_^ He stayed awake all night, not because he had insomnia too, (he will never have insomnia) but because he was busy preparing sandwiches for the gang. He has this "if-u-are-not-going-it's-pointless-for-me-to-go" shyt, and seeing him putting all his heart into making the sandwiches, how can I not go? Most importantly, he handmade a cold lemonade for me, hoping that my body heat will go away. *touched T_T*

We started trekking around 5:45am, when the skies were still dark. We couldn't see a thing! And how clever of us for not bringing any torchlight, but still manage to hit the hill top, with bare lights from our handphones! Hahaha... xD But lucky me brought an insect repellent, else some of us will be seriously violated by those blood sucking vampires!

The route was sometimes, kind of steep geh... It was quite oxygen depleting while climbing the hill, because before I could take a full sip of fresh oxygen, they will be converted into energy to put my foot ahead... Carrying my body weight is not an easy task already, I wonder what was

happening to W.Hong and my Bee?! LOL... Luckily there were alot of people trekking that day as well, and because we were too "petty" to "pay toll", we were jammed in the "pay cash" lane once awhile... these were the times where I could rest and pre-purchase more oxygen!

At last, after 1 hour or more, we reached the top! We were able to catch the first glimpse of the sunrise... *sigh in satisfaction* It was absolutely worth it! =)

This was supposed to be a super nice scenery...

But after uploading here it sucks...

Seems like the file will auto be compressed de... T.T

Baby's handmade egg sandwiches! They said it was nice! =) Good job!

After much attempts... yay! =)

Being Just Enough Is Not Enough!

2009-11-27T01:28:00.001+08:00

11/27

I've been holding back what I am supposed to say to you 3 weeks ago, and I let it all out tonight. I've been giving you hints, in order to save your face in front of group mates and yet you are too arrogant to realize it. And this caused me embarrassment. It's too much already! How could you abandoned us and went youtube-ing when we were having dead end discussions. You said our discussions were pointless sometimes and too draggy, but come'on, why don't you suggest something, voice it out to stop it, or whateva? Yes sometimes we still don't know something and discussing it is pointless, we should question the lecturer first. But then if we don't start discussing now, how do we know what we don't know? If we don't start now, we won't start doing the assignments forever. Perhaps you won't understand this because you are too used to one-man-show. Because you always think you can do good jobs even at last-minute. This group is unlike the one you had previously, you are not the king here, you are not the only leader. Nobody is your secretary. Everyone is leader, and everyone is member. Say that I'm kia-su or whateva, I don't want everything to be last minute, I wanna know clearly my timetable, because I don't wanna waste time! Perhaps it's the wrong idea for me to be in the same group with you. Perhaps it's already a wrong idea for me to be in the same U with you!!

You are very lucky indeed to born with a silver spoon. You get almost everything you want. You don't have to worry about money. You don't have to worry about having to buy your own car, because your family provide you with one, free on fuel somore! In addition, you are talented. You have a good voice, and over-the-cloud confidence, and you can easily earn more in a month than your peers. But being talented is just not enough. You said it's just enough, just nice, but to me, it is not! How can you be so contented? It's so dangerous to say that! Your talent will only bring you to a certain level, and if you don't do something more, and keep thinking you are the best already, thinking about "enough already", then you will forever be stagnant in that level you set for yourself. I cannot stand your "tidak-apa" attitude anymore! If I'm thinking of the future right now, I'll put a big cross on you.

Yes other girls might be thinking you are the best man, best boyfriend that one could ever had. Some of them even think they deserve you more than I do. Perhaps they do. They might be also thinking that, "you are not as good as him so why, or who are you to judge him that way?" Yes, I know I'm not the best, I'm not good either. I don't have any talent, I'm not pretty, I don't achieve anything great in my life, I sucks! That's why I'm working on it... I just don't know how, or where. That's why I wanna at least do the best on what I can.

I think sometimes... things just have no more other solutions but to put a full stop on it already. I just hope I can get help in getting what I want the most right now.

P/S: Don't promise me things that you cannot deliver anymore. The worst thing one can do is to give hope, and then destroy it. You can hear the sound of tearing a paper, but not when tearing my heart.

Who Am I...?

2009-11-25T13:54:00.000+08:00

11/25

I hate that when someone says something, and made me feel that I'm inadequate...

But yeah, I don't know what I can do best... I still can't find out... I suck!

Anyway, I'll do all my best in the presentation later! Hmph!

Till Dawn Genting Trip

I've not been rajin enough in updating my blog...

And I've lost track of what happened in this month that are worth writing about. Hmm...

I guess I'm saying to myself... Lets skip those and start anew~! Hoho...

Okay I have Econ assignment 2 to pass up on Monday, and Account presentation on Wednesday.

Today is Saturday (Saturday already! T_T) and I should be working on them...

But instead... I find myself fighting against the super chilly cold weather... in ...GENTING! I think I still can feel the coldness!

Can you feel the coldness just by seeing this pic?

It's Evan babe's idea that we have this gathering. How could I say no? If I did, Noobee won't be going because of his stupid "if-you-were-not-there-it's-pointless-for-me-to-be-there" shyt! Then I'll be indirectly ruining this gathering! Oh no... I'll not be the culprit! And furthermore, we have not gathered since birthday celebration at Greenbox. So... ON ON ON ba! Haha! xD

After having dinner with Alex & his girl, Aurora, at Kim Gary, we headed up the hill!

On the way, a super embarrassing thing happened to me - stomach emergency! @.@

I have been feeling ill quite sometimes after yesterday's Kenny Rogers at Mid Valley... Oh I never expected it to dial 999 at this time geh...

Come to think of it now... it's kinda hilarious! Okay la... embarrassing things do happen once in a while. Just wish that it don't happen again in the future.

As usual we first had our drink in Starbucks. I'm surprise this time Zhilin did not pronounce it as Star-*ucks! Maybe because his dear, Yvonne, was there... hohoho!

I have to salute those to drank cold coffee... at this kind of weather... Phewww~!

So I got myself a hot coffee, nevermind what its called, but it's darn delicious! Almost 70% of it gone into my still-feeling-uneasy stomach. Partly because Bee is too into discussing his new love with W.Hong, and ignored me T_T poor me... I did it for vengeance...kakaka... jkjk...

Me & my hot coffee~!

Next up, of course, the casino! Okay this is the part I kinda hate the most...

I hate that the casino is always full of smoke puffed from those people, it is so cancerous! And, I hate when Baby gamble and lose... Give me the RM100 and I can get you something better! And most of all, I hate that the guards always hafta stop me and ask for my IC when the rest of my friends can easily walk into the casino! Gahhhhh... I'm more than qualified to get in the casino ler ok? Woowoo...

But... the good thing is A-Bee won that night, after around 10 mins we set feet in front of the

gambling table! W.Hong too! And the best part is... he gave me 50 bucks... wahahaha... extra 50 bucks of pocket money! Yay! But not to my surprise, or you shouldn't be surprised too... the 50 bucks habis the next day... all spent on treating A-Bee makan... 50 bucks nowadays is like... a few penny! Haiz... damned inflation!

Kelvin: "Thank you Uncle Lim, for sponsoring this wonderful trip, and the delicious meal. Next time, must bless us and let us win more. Amen."

-.-" This is my Bee... he always does funny funny stuff...

The rest of the trip we spent time lepaking & modelling for Baby & W.Hong... with their new D90! I hate to admit this... I kind of like it, too! Hoho... Here are some pics of us modelling...

Gotcha me in the mirror!

Before they thought Baby kidnapped me, I better spent some time with them sin!

Can you guess what we had for dinner by looking at this pic?

We went for Christmas Carol, by Jim Carrey. At first I thought it was normal movie, but was surprised to see that it was an animation! Not bad though... But the story kind of scary... a real different kind of christmas story... xD But it still too much for me though... check it out!
