It's a whole new world

Mona Lisa's smile

2011-08-26T01:31:00.000+08:00

I visited Eiffel tower and the louvre.. So after so many years of looking at the one in my grandparents' house, I've now seen the real painting of Mona lisa.

I actually think they're quite the same thing..

Venus

2011-08-26T01:26:00.001+08:00

When I was on our way to LA one day, I went into the cockpit and the pilot showed me the planet Venus. You can only see it before dawn.

It's like a shining star, alone.

Which is scarier?

2011-08-25T01:26:00.000+08:00

I experienced earthquake in Japan when I was doing my NRT-LA. It was 7 something in the morning, I was sleeping and suddenly my bed shook so hard that I got a fright thinking that a ghost was shaking my bed!

Then I stood up and calmed down, and I told myself that it should be an earthquake. Luckily after about 6 to 7 seconds it stopped but I could still hear the sound of things shaking. I went back to sleep.

Male, Maldives

2011-04-26T00:18:00.001+08:00

I was called up to Male, replacing my 3 days pattern with 4! How great is that! There's really only chilling to do there and it was definitely a vacation.

I went snorkeling for a very short while the day after we arrived, it was rather cloudy so there wasn't much to see. Swam a little in the pool and finished carving one of my stamps.

We went for a sunset tour the next day and it was awesome! There were dolphins and they really are adorable creatures! One of them did a flip for us, twice!

It was really an experience, sipping wine on the cruiser, with the wind and the view. life's good to be wealthy!

But I think the ever so popular Male is pretty much like the other islands I've been to. Nice beach, breath-taking blue sea, friendly staff, it's all the same, right?

Mykonos, Greece

2011-04-03T02:06:00.000+08:00

Right after touch down in Athens, I joined 4 other crew and went online to search for tickets and accommodation to Mykonos, a beautiful island of Greece.

In the end, instead of taking the 4 hour ferry, we got to the airport to buy the half an hour plane ride which costs euro 250 both ways. It's my first time going on such an impromptu trip where nothing has been booked or arranged!

All the buildings in Mykonos are white by law, their windows and doors are blue, like their flag. It was sunny but very windy, nice weather I'd say!

We had one of our dinners at a Greek restaurant, the locals are so different from our people, they're happy and fun. They were dancing to the band all night long and pulled us along!

Mykonos is a nice place to relax, a nice place to be with my loved ones.

I still cry

2011-03-24T18:05:00.000+08:00

It has been 6 months, and I still cry..

This is the job I wanted, the one I think is perfect coz I don't have to wake up early every weekday, the one that has only 2 off days weekly. It is the job that's not so boring, the job that pays better, the job that i want.

Now I've got it, I've got the job. I even have 2 of my sisters with me, but the only thing, the big thing, missing, is my husband.

I cry every time we say goodbye. I sometimes also cry through the phone before flights. Why? This is what you wanted!

Do I want to end this? What will I be? I don't, I want to fly and come home to you..

First annual leave

2011-03-16T20:14:00.001+08:00

In 2 days' time, our whole family plus my grandma will be going to Taipei for my dad's birthday! It'll be my first annual leave taken and I'm very sure I'll feel as lousy as ever to come back to singapore after the break!

I'm sure we'll enjoy our trip a lot! With lots of talking and eating! Yi-Shen 没有去!

To my sisters

2011-02-16T22:47:00.002+08:00

It is such a happy thing to be together, all of us.

We have so much fun! Although once together long, someone somehow tends to lose their temper.

Let's work on this, so we'll enjoy each others company more than ever!

Love,
Che

Moscow, Russia

2011-02-11T23:38:00.002+08:00

I was telling chyi the house is back to normal, everyone has left and it feels sad! i really wanted to cry! i know i'll be going back to pj right after i come back from this 9 day pattern moscow-houston, but i still feel sad! maybe it's because this is the first time i'll be away for more than 4 days..

it's snowing in moscow, and it's my first time seeing snow! snowflakes are not as tiny as i imagined, you can see the shapes clearly, and they are rather big!

Homesick

2011-02-10T22:30:00.001+08:00

when i first stepped into the aircraft, i told myself to suck it up and just work because i was feeling weepy.. i felt that the leading wasn't very nice.. but it's not quite true.. i was just feeling crapy.

the bus ride to the hotel took 2 hours! It's my first time seeing snow! I CAN see snow flakes flying down, stopping on my nose!

But it's really boring here in moscow! there's no internet connection in the room, there's nothing interesting to watch on tv.. sigh! the crew did mention about going out to the red square, but my clothing aren't warm enough for snow! =(

Kiwi

2011-02-05T19:37:00.002+08:00

Location: Christchurch

Arrived this morning, wiped away my red lipstick, changed and we hopped on to their yellow bus to a japanese place for lunch. You can imagine how zombie we felt after 12 hours of work and we still managed to go to their Pak'nSave for some groceries shopping..

Bought a bottle of pancake (powder) mix to try with me sisters! Maybe I'm suaku, or maybe normally it's in a box so I'm drawn to this bottled one. Just add water into the bottle, shake and pour!

A thrilling night

2011-01-30T22:37:00.002+08:00

Li's in town, and we joined Ching to the airport and had dinner there. After dinner, we walked around and did some groceries shopping, had dessert at Coffee Bean..

On our way bk home, I realized that I didn't bring house keys out! I began to panic as all my sisters are at work (which means they're not in Sg!!) and I don't remember seeing the other girls at home! I smsed them but they didn't reply so I guess they're overseas too!

We got back, I prayed hard that the last person who went out didn't double lock our door and we tried opening it.. Very luckily, we managed to let ourselves in! I couldn't imagine what would happen if we're still locked out now!

Well.. But guess what? We left all our groceries on the bus!!!

What a night!

不是的！

Amsterdam; Europe virgin

2011-01-27T03:50:00.004+08:00

Can you imagine my phone's battery went flat while I was sleeping and the alarm did not go off when I'm supposed to go for a tour?! Thank god it's not a working day!! The concierge called me to say that the bus is here to pick us up, and I asked him what time is it.. I took 15 minutes to get ready and lucky too that I had fake eyelashes done before coming to Amsterdam!

The tour was nice because all the houses here are very nice, all houses have their own unique touch. Look into their houses and you'll see flowers and dining tables by the window, it's like houses in the movies and catalogues! Apparently the house owners here are very competitive and they'd all have different doors and curtains; true enough, I see different doors in a row!

Are all countries in Europe like this? I'm certainly curious and look forward to find out!

The moon

2011-01-21T02:08:00.001+08:00

Saw the moon at eye level..
When we were about to land into Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. It was big and round, brightly lit and it stood right above the gray clouds.

Getting ready

2011-01-18T21:57:00.001+08:00

I timed myself getting ready the other day.. took 25 minutes to bathe, 5 to prep face, 23 to do my make up, 22 for styling my hair, and another 15 to dress up plus some last minute touches.

A minimum of 1.5 hours to get ready, if nothing out of the norm like not having a good make up or hair day!

ATDO with no company

2011-01-18T16:30:00.002+08:00

Pssst.. The title is to annoy Li coz she hates it when we use all these airline jargons!! Heee.. Anyway Li, ATDO means our off day laa k?

Chyi got back from Tokyo, Ching will be back from London tonight, here I am, figuring out something meaningful to do.. Tried making an appointment with the dentist but they are fully booked today. I really have the urge to whiten my teeth, they are yellow! I'll feel much prettier with whiter teeth!

Off days are certainly better when you have company!

Decisions

2011-01-18T00:56:00.001+08:00

Should I, or rather will I be able to start blogging again? I want to, but knowing me.. I'm a lazy bum! I asked ching if I can just translate her blog posts into English for my blog?

Smoke is in the air

2009-04-24T19:11:00.001+08:00

While I was sitting in a mamak, waiting for Yi-Shen to come fetch me, I started looking around because my glass of Teh-O-Ais kurang manis was still too manis for my liking.

A very smelly odour 一阵阵的飘过来.. Guess what? It's the smell of the ever so polite cigarettes butts! They are smellier than second hand smoke, but I'm not saying that second hand smoke are nicer to smell ok?

Bugger... I don't like dirtying my hands to move it to the other tables.. and this particular one looks especially filthy! Second hand smoke is killing us!!!

It's everywhere, like I said in my previous post.... which reminds me of a fugly man today at the coffee shop! He was sitting behind me, like 5cm away, and suddenly a big puff of smoke were blewn to me (coz the wind was towards our direction)!!!!!! My goodness, how can he do that? Sit outside cannot meh? Must he sit so inside of the shop and kill us all??! Stupid assss.....

Right?

F1 Grand Prix

2009-04-13T23:17:00.005+08:00

Not a fan of F1, but our friend had free tickets for us so we just went ahead with it.

It is very rare that all 4 of us housemates (Yi-Shen, Cher Li, Pen Hau and me) agree to go somewhere together, Pen Hau seldom wants to join us for anything.. He has always got many dates wan mah..

So off we go after changing into something more F1, which I don't have coz girls that go to F1 normally wear sexy with style, big sunnies, hair tied back, bla bla bla..

Pen Hau is a PEROfessional photographer already nowadays, he gets freelance jobs wann you know? So give him a ring if you want cheap but nice (uek) photography k?

It was so damn jam on the way to Sepang, we couldn't understand why.. Pity those who were on their way to catch an Air Asia flight.. together-gether jam with us.

Tak sempat make up coz it was really last minute..

It took us about 2 hours and we finally parked our car (luckily not far from where everyone who parked illegal had to start walking). We started our exercise of the day, so very far leh we walked!

This is the start of the walk which is slightly uphill, can you see how never ending the road seemed? Hehe.. We could hear the engines of the F1 cars roaring already, so we walked faster as it was getting quite late. Wouldn't want to miss the race..

Faster faster faster! It's drizzling already...

And finally, this is (part of) the F1 circuit, the walk from the entrance to where our seat was was also extremely far, and by the time we sat down, it was no longer drizzling, it was raining. Heavily.

After 10 minutes, one race car skidded because the road was too slippery.. and the red flag was flagged, so all cars stopped.

So potong steam, they had to wait and see whether the rain stopped.

A few pictures taken by Pen Hau, look at Yi-Shen's mouth..

The race didn't continue in the end, and we had to walk back to our car.. same ol journey.. goodness...

p/s: i just realised i didn't mention who won, but i guess everyone who listens to/ reads news knows already.. anyway it's Jenson Button la....

Awesome Bangkok

2009-04-09T01:11:00.011+08:00

Heavy shopping (pun intended)
Sweat rolled down our crossed legs in Chatuchak
Super affordable massage sessions
Extreme haggling with taxi/ tuk-tuk drivers
Laughed and had fun being together
Lao-sai-ed
Vomited

We did all of the above except for the last two, which was only done by Ching and Chyi. =D Pity them especially Ching as there was one day she felt so awful but insist that she was okay and kept walking the mall with us.

How not to feel sick lah, catching grasshopers as they hop hop hop and into their mouth the grasshopers go.. Duh.. they asked one of the road side stall to fry it first la! YEEEE!!!!

Yeah that was a joke, but we strongly suspect this was the stall that made her so sick.. She ordered somtam and saw mushrooms and pointed that too, thinking that the lady will also somtam the mushrooms, you know? In the end the mushrooms wasn't prepared the way we expected, instead was cooked in some green soup which looked & smelled weird. But you know Ching, she tried the thing and regretted the next day.

This is the view walking out of the hotel, the tall building is Baiyoke. There are a few massage places (150THB for foot massage, very cheap, i know!), a 7-Eleven, a few stalls selling not so appetizing food, and as you walk to Platinum mall in the morning (which takes about 15 minutes I guess), there are many shops along the way.

This is Ecotel, a 1 year old hotel with Full Comfort at Budget Prices as it's tagline. Frankly we were quite disappointed at how the hotel looked like compared to photos on the internet, but no doubt we were lucky as it is clean and new, and they do change your bedsheets and towels everyday.

We arrived at midnight on our first night, the receptionists aren't too friendly and they all have a non-negotiable attitude. Why do i say so is because we were going to stay for 5 nights and we asked for a minimal discount on the extra bed (which is THB500 per night) as we are already paying for 2 rooms, but even the manager insisted that the answer was NO.

It may be their hotel's policy, but as a manager, I believe you can be a wee bit flexible, we would be very happy even if she agrees to give us a 100THB discount! But all we got was NONONONONO.

The building of Ecotel, still under renovation. I guess it'll be a bigger hotel when it is fully renovated.

Ramada Hotel, opposite our hotel.

And next to it is Bangkok Palace Hotel, should be very expensive, I donno.

Shopping is pretty cheap when you do it at Bangkok, but if you prefer branded stuffs you can head to Siam Paragon or MBK for medium priced goods. We like Platinum!

It would feel weird to not go to Chatuchak when you're at Bangkok, so we went on Saturday. It was omg-so-very-extremely hot you have to not think of the heat then you'll feel cooler. Sweat rolled down from my arms where i wore a bangle, imagine.

Are they Pomeranians? The dogs, not the girls, haha! Can't remember.. but they are cute hor.. I didn't touch them though.. scared they are dirty mah. The owners just bought them from the market, how clean can they be? Anyway, clever not me hide behind Ching? =D

Bangles!!! My current fave! One thing i realise about Bangkok is the clothes are darn cheap, the shoes can be too, but the accessories are not cheap! Sien...

A ride on Tuk-tuk is like one on a roller coaster, only this you have higher chance of dying. =_=

We didn't really eat like the previous trips this time, just couldn't find real tasty food that makes us go crazy. Li and I miss the noodles at Silom, slurp!! We didn't have time to go there though; in fact we didn't even had enough time to go to Siam area. Only managed to drop by MBK for less than 2 hours and the shops all started to close at 9pm. Why do they close so early? Bangkok is a tourist city, they should open their shops until at least 11pm what!

If you haven't read from Chyi or Li’s blog, we did hair extensions!

Which is awesome!

Except that it's so difficult to wash our hair now lor, sien. I love to give my head a good scratch/scrub when I wash my hair, I get super pissed when I go to the salon and the hairwash guy/girl wash my hair as if they haven't been eating!!

So I've always wanted super long hair, it looks sexier.. Although my hair is already long, but I want it to be longer, like long enough to cover my ne-ne when I put my hair infront. Yeah you get the idea..

This is me before getting extensions, no make up, only drew my brows, which was a bit tooo dark, which makes me look like crayon sin chan.

Then, see me after my hair which came with a-weird-smell-and-it-still-smells-abit-now-after-so-many-washes grew longer.

Don't say "there's no difference", I'll kill you!

Chyi after extensions.

Li and her he-dresser after extensions.

Mum's the greatest of the greatest! She waited for us patiently for so many hours while we were putting on someone else's hair onto our head! After many many hours she finally decided to have her nails drawn, it's so cheap to get beautify there my goodness.. Mum's not so used to pay for manicures, so she wanted to jaga it properly. And after roughly an hour, she still held her fingers stiff, like how we do when our nails are still wet and we don't want it to get scratched!

This basically sums up our trip to Thailand, the land of smiles where local people like to ask you where you're from, and when you answer them, they'll straight away say "Welcome to Thailand!". I should try saying I'm from Bangkok the next time they ask, see if they process it fast enough to realise before saying that. ;)

p/s: if you are thinking why are my pictures all weird, it's because i editted them that way la okay? look properly, it's an effect.. *sulk*

Snatch thief

2009-04-01T15:42:00.002+08:00

When I was in Bangkok, Yi-Shen's handphone was snatched when he was talking on the phone while walking beside the road in front of his office in Ara Damansara! What a long sentence, I know.

All of you out there must be extra carefull and don't think that it's not easy to snatch your handphone or whatever okay, the thiefs are so expert in what they are doing I'm telling you. What happened to Yi-Shen was this guy (alone on his bike) gave a push on Yi-Shen's arm and POOF! there goes your handphone! Yeah, it is like magic coz there you are, holding onto your phone, but the experts can easily grap them from you and you can say bye to your however-expensive-it-can-be phone.

Found a video on you tube on mobile snatching. click to watch

Sigh.. Have to spend money on a new phone already lorh, but apparently, someone is rather excited to be able to get a new phone.

Go figure.

Sawasdee ka

2009-03-24T14:44:00.005+08:00

Guess what y'all? I'm going to Bangkok, again!

This time, all of us sisters are going with my mum.. 5 girls shopping, can you imagine? We're so excited! We'll be flying this Thursday night, Ching's going to fly from Singapore and meet us there. This time the hotel we'll stay is Ecotel, it's in the city. Hopefully we'll like the place.. and hopefully it's convenient for us to go about..

Renew passport - check
Shopping list - check
comfy crocs - check
Super big empty luggage bag - check
Enough Thai Bahts - err.. check

See you and yeah we'll enjoy our superb-delicious-yummy-omg-ilove Thai food and shopping!!

Car accident

2009-02-24T23:00:00.001+08:00

BANG!

It was out of my control, I wanted it to stop but it didn't. It continued sliding, and banged like a bumper car.

Yeah, it was drizzling last night, I was driving Yi-Shen's car, he was sitting on the passenger's seat, Li was sitting at the back and we were heading home after dinner. I made a turn and lost concentration on the cars in front as I was looking at the rear view mirror; in a split of a second, it was too late to realize that the cars in front all braked.

I stepped on the braked but the car didn't stop at all, the road was too slippery. I had time to recall Yi-Shen talking about how the brake locks the car tyres when there's a sudden hard step on the brake, so I released and stepped on the brakes again, but sadly that didn't work too. Maybe it doesn't apply on straight roads.

So all of us watched me bang into the car in front, surprisingly, all was calm too. There was no shout let out by Li, no instructions or terperanjat-ness from Yi-Shen. Nothing special came out of me as well, but I felt my legs a bit soft when I walked out of the car lah.

In the end, the car that kena bang said it's ok (after like 10 minutes of inspecting his bumper, which didn't even had a scratch), so Yi-Shen took over and drove back.

This is the second time I damaged his front bumper after he fixed it and repainted it. =( The first time was when I was alone and reversed out of a parking space and got a scratched (a bad one) from the pillar.

This time, I got his car a crack, and the whole bumper dropped down a little. Sorry!

I hate smokers!

2009-02-19T16:18:00.004+08:00

Why is it that smokers are generally selfish?

From the bottom of my heart, I hate (almost all of) them.

Have you walked in corridors, along the road, crossing the streets and smell smoke from the person in front of you who is smoking while walking? Have you being eating your lunch and smell smoke from the person in front of you who is smoking after his/her satisfying meal? They (the smokers) say, I quote: “饭后一支烟，快乐似神仙”; we say “要死你去死，我可不想死”!

Why? Why? Why can’t they be a little more considerate and smoke only at smoking rooms? If you can't find one, smoke somewhere behind the bushes where less people walk pass! Non smokers do not smoke because we don't want to, so what makes them think that we would want to inhale their second hand smoke?

I know it is a free world, but we being non smokers also have the right to tell you in your face that we do not enjoy smelling the nasty smell; so do not get offended when we do so, because you did not care if we are being offended while you huff and puff.

Every since I joined this current company, coughing is my second name.

Being in an office where 2 smoking managers (before this there were 6, go figure!) kill our lives slowly every day definitely makes me hate smokers more. Imagine the smell lah, we are in an air conditioned room, come on lah!

The recent cough I had was so terrible that I almost had asthma, I'm not coughing already but I'll start coughing whenever I attempt to laugh out loud (which is what I always do). Am I being deprived of laughing out loud, I asked Yi-Shen. I'm afraid coz this is the first time I cough so badly and it is also the first time I experience this laughing and cough thing.

To conclude, I just want to say that they really should not smoke in the office, be it in their room or whatever. Show some consideration!

We're engaged!

2009-02-15T23:22:00.003+08:00

Yeah, like finally, we are engaged! =D

I've waited long enough for Yi-Shen to propose okay? Although we have already talked about everything else, the parents have met and talked about it too, the only thing missing was the proposal.

Hehe..

So it was yesterday, Valentine's day. As usual, we had a super normal day, woke up, watched TV, went to The Curve with Li to meet Chyi. Yi-Shen made reservations to have dinner at Royale Bintang, but since I got all sorts of hints* that there will not be any proposal, I didn't want to eat at the hotel in the end.

*reason for hints (i'm writing these down for memory's sake as my memory sucks):

1. At first I though there's a chance of proposal coz when I asked Yi-Shen where are we celebrating Vday he said "m.m" and what is m.m? It's 秘密.. So, Li and I discussed, he has never planned any big surprises for me for Vdays, so this must be it! He is so going to propose!

Then, a day before Vday, he told me he made reservations at Royale Bintang. Which, means he was bluffing when he said m.m to me! The actual fact is that he hadn't planned yet when I asked him.

ok, disappointed.

2. On the night before Vday, I went out with friends, Li was home with him. The next day, while having Vday cupcakes (Li's present, so chweeet norh?), Li told me that he talked to Yi-Shen when I was out, asked him whether he's gonna do it that night, and he said no no no.. proposing on Vday is so cliche bla bla bla... and totally made Li believed and angry that he is not proposing.

So Li asked me not to have any hopes for the night so that I won't be disappointed. =(

3. He totally didn't dress up, and he wanted to wear crocs to The Curve lor.. taoyan! If got plans sure dress up abit wan right? Blah.....

4. His pocket also don't have anything protruding~ If there's a ring, sure can see wan right? Blek!

5. He didn't act weird at all, coz normally when he has any surprises, I can sense it!

Okay, enough of hints!

So 5 of us had dinner, we were happy but Yi-Shen was abit quiet lah, but he's not always chatty when we're with my sis coz we talk talk talk, he got no chance to talk mah... then after dinner, we decided to all go to my house; suddenly, I felt unhappy. Coz I was thinking, eh why no present for me wan? *sulk*

Don't want to walk already lah, want to go back home! So we left The Curve.

On our way back, Yi-Shen made a turn against the way back home, I asked him where were we going and he said bring me somewhere. I didn't feel like it coz I was abit unhappy already mah.. so I mm choi kuei (ignored him).

In the end, he brought us to where we first started our courtship and he started talking about those days where he finished work (we were doing our industrial training then, so I stayed with my grand aunt) and came and look for me. Sometimes we went for his late dinner, sometimes we stayed in his ol betsy (his old Proton Iswara) and talked.

I giggled all the way coz I thought he is being pretty lame, bringing me there just to tell me all those. Then he handed me my camera, asked me to look at a few pictures that he took which was very pretty. I knew he was bluffing.. =D 我在想，他一定是拍了别样.. when I switched on the camera, it was something else! It was a slide show done by Yi-Shen, a proposal slide show, finished off with a self recorded 5 seconds proposal video, heeh..

The ring leh, you ask.. got lah.... next time only show you all kay?

In conclusion, I'm happy that Yi-Shen has proposed! And it's darn difficult to tell this story.

Shopping we go!

2008-12-05T14:20:00.004+08:00

It's end of the year and all of us know it's SALES TIME!!

There are so many warehouse sales I'm telling you.. I've carefully selected the so-many out of the so-so-many warehouse sales that I want to go. I'm so excited! My mum is coming so we can go shop together! Wooppee!

Yesterday, I went to a branded fragrances sale during my (self-extended) lunch time at Armada hotel, queued up for 40 minutes and went into the hall which was so small and crowded only to disappoint myself. It was crowded by people queueing up to pay, I think they didn't expect such a big crowd, thus the chaos in the 'hall'. There was so much fragrances going around, that I can stand; what I can not stand is the unpleasant fragrances from people's mouth! PUKE! In the end I didn't buy anything coz I didn't feel well enough to queue up again, in the so-called hall. So I left empty handed..

Knowing how much I wanted to go to Nine West w/h sales, Yi-Shen agreed to take the LRT with me to Avenue K right after work. Verdict? Disappointing too.. mainly was because the choices of heels wasn't that great, and also because I have big feet and the sizes left were mostly 7 and below..

Though the place was not crowded at all, the staffs were like shit, yes you hear me right, s-h-i-t. I read from the shopper's comments about them already, and I would like to agree totally! My experience was when I went to the cashier and asked her how much was the keychain which had no price tag on it - she didn't look at me and shouted to her colleague asking the price. Then one sales girl walked towards me and I didn't expect her to be the one the cashier was shouting to coz she didn't look at me at all and certainly didn't look like she was going to answer me, what more serve me. Suddenly she said "twenty five", and I "huh?" coz wasn't sure that she is talking to me mah.. then she "twenty five" again. Madness, what kind of sales person are you all? Anyhow, there was a nicer guy working there lah.. The girls was like assholes though.

Well, I took a few pictures to let other shoppers who feels like going but also would like to have a rough idea on how the place is like see how does the place looks like lah..

Oats anyone?

2008-11-10T20:43:00.000+08:00

Being fat, you'll have to make such big sacrifices.. It's depressing not being able to eat yummy food already, but also, I've been eating oats for breakfast, you've heard me right, O-A-T-S.. with very little low fat milk and no sugar no nothing.... It is not easy at all to go through that every morning I'm telling you.

Not easy.

Yi-Shen prepares the oats for me together with his, his is off course more than mine by, say, alot? I don't know why he stinges on the milk.. he says the oats absorbs them all, so it can't seem to be soupy. It is so tasteless and starchy and sticky and yucky and the best part is, it totally feels like what I would vommit out and now I'm swallowing them back in. Ok you get what I mean already..

So, I was reading nicolekiss's food blog and she wrote bout her diet plans and this particular post was about oats, it sure didn't look as horrifying as what I eat in the morning~ So I messaged Yi-
Shen.

Below was our conversation..

sheri: http://nicolekissdiet.blogspot.com/2007/10/oats-and-milk.html
sheri: why is her oats better and tastier looking?
sheri: not like ours.. so glue-ey
ys chung: whose oats?
sheri: the link
ys chung: well
ys chung: for one, her raisins looks like decapitated cockroaches <-- trying to make his oats feel better!
sheri: those are prunes
ys chung: she uses baby oats
ys chung: and then more milk
sheri: can we use baby oats?
sheri: at least they won't get stuck in your throat
sheri: can we use more milk?
sheri: at least it'll be a happier breakfast
sheri: since i can't have happy meals already
ys chung: we can go buy baby oats
ys chung: we can use more milk
sheri: we buy a smaller packet first
sheri: coz i'm afraid it'll taste like shit too
sheri: =D
ys chung: yeah
ys chung: shit is good for health
sheri: =*
ys chung: i will continue eating the proper oats
sheri: what do you mean proper
sheri: !!!!

Guess I won't get to eat the improper oats for now..

grey-ny

2008-11-07T18:50:00.000+08:00

I would like to 记录下来 my current feelings towards my grey hairs. It sounds weird, I know. I don't understand why, tell me!

Since I was in Form 3, I started having grey hairs, but that was only one (lower right) part of my head, and they weren't obvious at all coz I'll have to part my hair and search for them only I'll see them. Anyway, I figured it must be that part of brain I'm using the most, so the greys started sprouting. I think there were maybe 4 - 5 one time, I remember plucking them and I kept them in a jar, eww! Of course as I grew older, a few greys came out here and there, which is understandable coz I am no longer in Form 3.

BUT!

Lately, the grey hair is getting totally uncontrollable! It started growing a lot on the back and both sides of my head, this time it is very visible, you do not have to part the hair and search for them because there they are, screaming at you, calling for attention! I couldn't tahan the sight of it at first, so I pluck, pluck, pluck! But they grew, grew, grew some more! What more, now they've managed to appear in my fringe and places where you won't miss! You know how they stand out like a sore thumb in these places? If anyone whispers dye your hair lah, I've done that ok? But that's only a temporary solution..

Why is this happening to me? Is it my diet, or what is it? I'm really frustrated coz I am not that old to have this much grey hair. Sad..

free bag?

2008-10-05T19:34:00.000+08:00

Go Green Gals and Guys!

2008-09-22T15:48:00.004+08:00

Although i won't say that i really know a lot about saving mother nature, but i can say that i do try to do the least bit i can in going green. As you can see, i have a in my sidebar, i'm joining Jean to create awareness in GOING GREEN.

Below is some tips all quoted from her blog which some i did not know would help in saving the environment:

"Do you know that the world population is expanding at a mind-boggling rate? Yes, it is. It is estimated that the population will go up to 9 billions by 2050. That's mean if the world's natural resources were evenly distributed, our children or/ and grandchildren will only have 25% of the resources per capita that people in 1950 had.

If we intend to leave our children and grandchildren with the same standard of living we have enjoyed, we must preserve the foundation of that standard of living. We save for college educations, orthodontia, and weddings, but what about saving clean air, water, fuel sources and soil for future generations?"

-source taken from http://www.gogreeninitiative.org/content/WhyGoGreen/

We do not need be a soldier, aggresively marching down the battle field, to help our Mother Nature. Just be yourself and go green in your daily activities. Here are 10 ways how we can go green:

1. Crank the knob
According to the National Environment Agency in Singapore, air-conditioned buildings need only to set their thermostat between 23°C and 25°C. Anything lower is a waste as you simply won't feel a difference in temperature. For every degree you adjust, you spare the air 500 pounds of carbon dioxide.

2. Sweat the small stuff
According to http://ecofabulous.blogs.com, if every worker used one less staple, we'd save up to 330,000 tons of steel a day. That's some heavy metal! Switch to a staple-less stapler, available at stationery shops, which folds paper to bind it.

3. Clean green
Household cleaning products give off chemical emissions that aren't only harmful to the planet, but to you too. Swap yours for the eco-friendly and completely non-toxic Shaklee Get Clean products.

4. Age your driving style
Don't speed: going 90km/h instead of 110km/h slashes fuel consumption by up to 25 per cent. If your car is fitted with a cruise control option, use it when you're driving on teh highway to maintain a steady speed and save on fuel.

5. Eat closer to home
Transporting produce across oceans or by air is amajor contributor to pollution. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation reported in 2006 that 18 per cen of the world's greenhouse gas emissions were due to the international meat industry. Choose locally farmed produce and the demand for imported stuff will fall, along with CO2 levels.

6. Stash your trashRecycle
Yes, it's an obvious one and you would think that after hearing it so many times, we'd be non-stop recycling machines by now, but there are still so may of us who aren't doing it! We chuck 19,000 tons of waste everyday, enough to fill 36 Petronas Twin Towers in a year! About 95 per cent of the waste ends up in landfills, which we're quickly running out of, and who knows how much of it could have been recycled?

7. Be a cone head
The next time you feel like eating ice-cream, ask for a cone, not cup. That way, you can eat the whole 'packaging' and there's no paper cup or plastic spoon to toss out.

8. Say no to the machine
Don't ask for ATM receipts. If every one in the USA refused theirs, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator 15 times. Malaysians would create a roll more than 330 million feet long, going round the equator two and a half times.

9. Think natural and cool
Using cold water to do the laundry saves 50 per cent more energy than using hot water. To dry, hang them out in the sun - the heat is a natural disinfectant - and you'll again be saving energy, as an automatic dryer uses an average of six per cent of the household electricity.

10. Make sure your fashion is green
We're not going to say stop dry cleaning your clothes, because that's just an impossible request. The next time you do, however, tell the cleaners to skip the plastic. Also, find a greener cleaner - Pressto dry cleaners use biodegradeable stain removers and detergents, and theor machines are eco-friendly too, designed by an in-house team of engineers and technicians. There are outlets in Sri Hartamas (opposite Cat's Whiskers boutique) and Bangsar (Jalan Maarof).

-taken from FEMALE magazine JUNE issue.

So what have i been doing that's green, you ask. Well for a start, i try to recycle as much paper as possible at work and at home - i use both sides of paper and often place papers that has been used both sides in our recycle box (i say often coz sometimes i'm lazy to walk to the box, so i just throw away the papers, sorry!); at home, we recycle newspapers, and we have another box for miscellanous paper items like envelopes, cardboards, magazines, etc.

Then, when i buy lunch back to office to eat, i bring my own container instead of using styrofoam. I force my colleague to do the same too, so now both of us hold a container and pack our food in them, which is good. I always skip those small small plastic bags they give when you buy drinks or sweets or whatever it is because those small bags are useless! You won't reuse them because the material is so thin and the size is too small anyway.. so i'm asking you to say no you don't need the bag too next time!

I still need to do a lot to really help in going green, so let's do as much as we can. It's easy!!

To China we go

2008-09-09T11:03:00.004+08:00

Over the weekend, Yi-Shen, George (a uni friend) and I went to MATTA fair. We wanted to go to Bali, but throughout the whole fair, we realised that all travel agents are offering ground packages only; which means they do not include air tickets but only hotel and some local tours when you get there. They say it's because most people will buy Air Asia's promotional tickets themselves.

How disappointing! And I thought I didn't want to join my colleagues in buying the tickets for July next year coz MATTA fair might have good deals and which I won't have to wait so long to go! Sien... well they do have air tickets too, but it's RM700 over! It's so not worth it, so Yi-Shen got quite disappointed.

As you can see from my title today, yeah, in the end we bought a package to China.

How did we end up buying that? George lah! He likes China, he just got back from a trip to other provinces of China a month ago, and he wants to go again. So he chose this Spectacular Gourmet Tour to Macau/Zhuhai/Zhongshan/Shunde/Panyu/
Foshan/Guangzhou/Gongguan/Shenzhen, all in 6 days. It is considered a catch (at RM1200+) looking at the many places we'll be going, but in 6 days.. I think I can imagine the rushing part.

We're giving China a try since the only part of China I've been to years ago is Guangzhou, and I'm sure a lot have changed since then. And we get to go to Macau, and it's almost the same price as the packages to Bali. Guess I have enough reasons to convince myself again. Although if I wait for the next zero fare AA promotion I'll only be paying 288 per person for the tickets, and say 250 for 4 nights stay in the hotel, and 200 for food, another 200 for transport.. which in total cost less than 1000. hmm...

Well, money have been paid, there's no room for regrets now, although, I'm not saying that I regret or anything.. So China, here we come!

warehouse sales

2008-09-04T23:18:00.004+08:00

I guess those who know me enough will know that I LOVE warehouse sales, in other words, I'm a sucker for it.

I would wake up early in the morning, queue a long queue, pack and push with the other crazy shoppers, just for these sales.

The most extreme one that I did was the Estee Lauder warehouse sale - Ching and I woke up at 6 in the morning, Yi-Shen fetched us to Renaissance KL, the queue was already crazy. You can guess how packed that hall was lah, I don't really mind the pushing and stepping on my toes; I'm disgusted that some people don't smell too good.. maybe it's too early and they didn't bathe before going.. You know, I'm taller than most average Malaysian girls, guys too.. so I can totally smell their heads man! *vommit*

Anyway, the thing is after we came out of war, with purchases for sure, I had to rush to work! Hahah! Was slightly wee bit late lah.. Yi-Shen waited for us all time, very good horr? Gong, if you are reading, must continue love me and bring me to all the sales yah? If can, next time I don't want to go to w/h sales anymore, I want to shop luxury-ly.

So you can see how much I can sacrifice for w/h sales now.

When I first knew about w/h sales and went to them, I wasted quite a lot of money buying things that I do not use in the end. Now, I try to buy what I really need. It's difficult lah.

This weekend, there are so many warehouse sales going on that I do not know which to go first. There's the great MATTA fair, there's Diethelm w/h sales,Hush Puppies w/h sales, Padini w/h sales, an offline e-shop sale.. which should I miss?!

Sales oh sales, here I come!

My current goal

2008-09-03T12:23:00.003+08:00

I want to do business!

I once asked Yi-Shen, "do you think I can sell clothes at Pasar Malam?" his response was so big and negative coz he is so very sure that I will not be able to take it coz I am so 小姐. Who says I am 小姐? Shut up! I may be one last time, but I'm no longer too 小姐 now.. well.. maybe only at certain situations, or with certain people, or under certain conditions of the weather.. And.. oh crap!

But if I don't try, how will I know whether I can or I can't? Maybe not Pasar Malams, maybe weekend flea markets. I am sure I can!

Lately....

(after writing this entry half way, I saved it and wanted to continue when I had the time; and now it's already 1 month later..)

Ok... Lately, there are so many e-shops online, selling all sorts of things. Clothes, bags, accessories, second hand items, you name it, you've got it. We've been buying from them and going to their off line sales, we love it! So I figured this is my opportunity! But knowing me, I'm not the type of person that loves risks, I'm afraid that there'll be not enough time for me to manage my e-shop, what if there's no customers, what if this, what if that..

I have so many worries and concern before even starting – which is negative thinking – which is wrong! I have to kick start my plan if not I will never know whether or not it will work for me! So now I'm starting my plan one step at a time, with Chyi's help I hope our very own e-shop will be open for business SOON!

Wait for my good news~

work sucks

2008-06-19T23:57:00.005+08:00

At least for now!

Well.. I didn't win the Nuffnang game, but it's ok.. I'm sure the dinner wasn't that great *sourgrapes* Hehe.. I'll try their other contests, keep trying and trying and I'll surely win one day!

I've been feeling rather lost and depressed lately.. lost the directions of my life, depressed for feeling lost. I no longer feel motivated to work already. Over and over again, the company has made empty promises to us. They said we should wait till June when we did not receive any yearly bonus or increment beginning of this year. They said they're working on some incentive plan for us after that. Now come July, what other excuses will they give?

I see more and more colleagues leave the company. Many people ask why don't we leave too? What's there to hold on to when a company doesn't appreciate their staffs? I do not have an answer to them. Maybe deep down I do believe what the company promise, maybe I do feel that there's a future here, or maybe I am waiting to see them give us something in return of expecting us to be 110% committed to our company!

We are always told to not calculate with the company and that staying back as often as possible shows that you are very committed. I don't think so! I do not stay back do not mean that I am not committed to my job. They who stay back every day may mean they are either one: overload or two: not productive.

Ha Ha!

Sien.. I know, if you expect a higher pay, then you should expect to work even more, your work responsibility will be higher. But this is my blog, so I should be able to say what I think. It should be ok that I say I expect lots of money and I don't want to work extra hard! I want to be rich when I wake up in the morning and go shopping, go spa, go manicure, go learn what I am interested in. and most importantly, NOT GO TO WORK!

Although, this is reality, and reality means you gotta work to get paid. You gotta get paid to go shopping. And when you work, you might feel it's a waste of money to go for spas and manicures, so you do them yourselves. And because you earn peanuts, DIY manicures are what you can only afford! And when you do everything yourself, you won't have time to do other things that you are interested in, like blog. So when you don't have the time to blog, you miss the opportunity to earn extra cash from what your blog can actually do for you! Example Nuffnang. So all of these actually go round and round, it's a cycle! So at the end of the day, the chances of being rich (aside from getting promoted and getting your yearly increment, which let's not talk about again) is so darn difficult!

Damn, you tell me how not to feel 烦la being in my shoes now!

I'm so tired now, and I'm in Yi-Shen's office helping him coz his company has some exhibition to participate in tomorrow.. 赚钱难啊!

My second trip to Bangkok

2008-06-09T23:50:00.001+08:00

My recent trip to Bangkok was quite good. I did feel the loneliness when Carrot, Chuah and me first arrived the airport – they were two love birds and I’m all alone! Without Yi-Shen who was supposed to go with me... but only remembered that he has more important work commitments!

Our flight to Bangkok was delayed and we arrived at almost 3am Thai time, which is our 4am. The rest of the gang took an earlier flight. We took a taxi for 500B to the hotel I found online – Take A Nap. The pictures on their website looked good, and the rooms were quite cheap, so we thought why not. I booked their 7 pax dorm, intended for 4 of us lah. Manatau, when we arrived the room, Devon wasn't in the room!

After many calls, we found out that she checked into a double room. Went to look for her and after discussing, we decided that since it is already 4am, we will all pack in that room for the night and see how things go the next day. I slept on the floor, the comforter was my bed.

The next day, Dex convinced us to move to the normal hotel that he always stays coz apparently, e-ve-ry-thing is within reach there. A double room costs 1700B... sure la... (Dex is rich mah)..

The Palazzo's lobby

We had a look at the rooms at The Palazzo and found that the room is quite big, and most importantly, the bed is even bigger than a king sized bed. So we didn’t have to order an extra bed – save 500B per night.

But of course, when four adults sleep on one bed, don’t expect much room to turn here and there la! In fact, you can’t turn around lor.. but for all 4 nights there, we had no trouble sleeping as everyone is drop dead tired after all the shopping aka walking.

There's free breakfast for 2 every morning too, I went for it once only.. Sleep is much more important to me!

There's a 7 Eleven right opposite the hotel too, and they sell nice food like sandwiches, dim sum & sausages that you can grab for a quick bite

First Day
We went to Platinum Mall, which I didn't know about the last time I went with mum and Li. This is an air-conditioned shopping mall that sells wholesale fashion items. There are so many shops, but not too many till you can't finish shopping la.. It is very much more comfortable to shop here as it's not as packed and humid and can't-breathe as Chatuchak.

Here at Platinum Mall, you must at least buy 3 items from a shop then only you get wholesale price. If not, they will tell you a 1-piece price, which is always not (so) worth it.

First day 收获, not too much things bought

When you're at Bangkok, a 300B top is considered expensive! As things are already quite cheap, you don't have to haggle much here coz it is more or less like you are wasting time to shop for more things. Plus they very seldom will lower the price more here; at least that's what I think.

One of my favourite Thai dish - Pad Thai. I always add alot lime juice, chilli powder and vege!

and of course Tom Yam!!!

We had lunch at Carrefour's food court and dinner at Platinum's food court. I like their coconut shake!

By the way, Robinsons, Carrefour, Tesco are all bear our hotel. By near I mean at least 15 minutes walk to the nearest which is Carrefour. You can't walk to Tesco I think... never tried and didn't want to!

There's a midnight market nearby too in an area called Huay Kwang, also where the MRT station is. This midnight market is supposed to be for those who work at night. Like pole dancers, they finish work late mah, so all normal shops are closed by the time they finish work. We went to a salon at 12 midnight on our last night at Bangkok. I washed and curled my hair, the rest did mani and pedi. The shop closes at 5am.

Thai people are so lucky, they can get their nails drawn so nicely and it costs around 200B only!

We went to the famous Suan Lum night bazaar – total disappointment. Nothing much there lorr.. they have a very big area for food and there was a live band. We ate a little and walked around their shops a little and went back.

I think Dex did mention that booze are cheap there, maybe that's why it’s famous, I don’t know.

Second Day
Chatuchak weekend market

I insisted in bringing my luggage bag with rollers with me coz I know I won't regret doing so! Indeed it was a very wise choice. You buy so many things and have to carry them all + walk so much. I've experienced it the last time and I've learnt my lesson.

I finally tried their noodles in pink soup – called yen ta foo if I remember correctly. Taste normal nia..

Thai Jack Sparrow, which i think did a good job imitating

Yummy Ovaltine drink - sold at only 10bht!

I didn't buy much at Chatuchak this time, don't know why. I actually didn't buy any clothing for myself here.. so disappointing.. Bought things like clutches, belts, floor mats, and colourful weaved baskets.

Some random photos we took on their MRT

See me in the picture?

Huai Khwang is the station near our hotel

We had dinner at Som Bon, a restaurant filled with Japanese. Apparently Japan's PM likes the restaurant and they had pictures of him visiting the restaurant. I won't show the pictures of food we had there, coz there's nothing to shout about really.

After a whole day of walking, this is the DIY foot spa I had in the room - apply Counter Pain on your legs, put your legs up for at least 10 minutes

Third Day
MBK area

Bought 2 pairs of jeans and guess what? They are skinny jeans! Hehe... surprisingly they look good la okay? After MBK we went to Siam Paragon which was totally boring! Things are so expensive there. Bought a Wacoal bra though.. won't tell you the size but Yi-Shen said my boobs aren't that big and the bra don’t fit. What does he know about bras? Hergh! Like very expert lidat...

At night, Devon and me followed Dex to experience Thai Clubbing. We sat at their open aired area coz they wanted to smoke, the place was so normal that our friend fell asleep for so long!! Haha!

Entrance to the club, very tight security. They actually checked on everyone's identification (for us it's our passport) upon entering. And I got the security to smile for me to take his picture, but it's too blurred to show you guys here.

Fourth Day
Pratunam, Platinum Mall again, and Carrefour

Pratunam is opposite Platinum but it has no air-cond. Things here is super-duper cheap! But all cannot try yeah.

We left Pratunam very fast and went to Platinum coz Dex gets impatient very fast so most of the time he goes back first. Or go to more expensive places =D

Dinner at Oishi was so normal. Jap food in Thailand, what do you expect?

Last Day
Before leaving for the airport, we had time to go to Robinsons for lunch and last minute shopping. Lunch at Yum Suup – food was served very fast and taste good too.

We actually planned to go to The Grand Palace geh.. but no one managed to wake up this morning coz we slept at 4 something the night before.

Bangkok Airport

My luggage weighed an extra kilo but luckily I wasn't fined.

So overall, I enjoyed my trip. It would be even more enjoyable if YS, my mum or my sis went together.

Felt that I didn’t buy that many things after unpacking. =D but I spent all my money brought there!

Fishing My Way To Made Of Honour

2008-06-01T14:37:00.004+08:00

I will win invitations to Hong Leong Online in collaboration with Buena Vista Columbia Tristar's exquisite 8 course dinner at JW Marriott KL and the movie premiere of Made of Honour right after the dinner!! You know why? Coz it will be my birthday present from Yi-Shen!

Heheh, to be precise, Nuffnang sent me the update on their events and this time around, we Nuffnangers have to play this game and get the highest scored we can possible, and win invitations to the event. SO, I requested for my birthday present lah..

After sending my request for quite some time, I didn't see anyone in the house playing any fishing game, so I started to hint.. and the hints became very obvious and eventually.. there was some not-so-good chi mingling around the house. *sulk*

Then, last night, I was surprised with the screen shot on my PC desktop! Hehee... I know this sounds lame.. but Yi-Shen did play the game but he didn't want to tell me about it.. Haiyah! waste my energy stomping my legs!

Although the total catch isn't an A+, I'm still happy and we'll see if we win the invitations lah! * cross fingers *

My Malaysian Dreamgirl Blog Entry

2008-04-21T01:12:00.004+08:00

My bulu all stood up when Sazzy announced that Jay was out! Of course lah, she’s our university friend, so sure we want her to win this thing.. Fortunately, when Sazzy said she wanted to talk to Jay, I knew there must be something.

Ever since the beginning, I didn’t like Cindy! I’m damn scared that she will win this contest ‘coz I’ve checked out her blog and it is obvious that her dad super super loves her! I think she is very spoilt at home wan… she said that her dad loves her more than he loves her mum leh! Lately, Cindy seems to be less ostentatious and it seems the other girls can get along with her already. But I still don’t think she should win this ‘coz if she does, you can imagine how action she will be and more girls will hate her! Hahah!

Pity Ringo when it was her turn to talk about her experience at MalaysianDreamgirl and the Breakfast Show had to go to commercial! The other girls talked too much..

I do think Ringo is cute, but not too suitable for the modeling world. Her face is cute, but nothing else. As for the other contestants:

Hanis – she’s sweet and it’s nice listening to her talk, she’s got the height, but the lower part of her face is rather broad right?

Nadia – wah, she REALLY wants to win this man! She wants it so bad that I think she’ll cry till she goes blind if she gets eliminated!

Adeline – if she wins, she’ll be so like Amber Chia (if she does become oh-so-famous lah) - sampat, speaks broken English, and weird… I totally can’t forget the scene when she said “I like to eat SUSI” (meant to be sushi) in the audition! Waahahaha!

Ok, I have to stop criticizing!

Well, the only one that I feel should win is of course Jay, and it is not only because I know her, but seriously, look at her hot bod and face!

So check out MalaysianDreamgirl’s website and vote for JAY!

Type DREAM 07 and send to 33001

P/s: Kenny Sia is so fat! Heehehe…

There's a blogger outing at Cineleisure, organized by Nuffnang this coming 24th May. I really wish to go, but I wont be in Malaysia. I'm going to PATTAYA on the 20th! It's for work purpose la, I'm going with my lady boss, Sylvia for 6 days.

We will be at an orphanage for 3 days, to observe a charity program and bring it back to Malaysia. After that, it will basically be walking around Pattaya a lot; we have some research to do! I will elaborate about my trip when I am back lah.

Meanwhile, I have dyed my hair at Monsoon-id recently. They're having a 49% discount off for all hair services until end of this month, so it is pretty worth it.

Anyhow, the colour didn't turn out as it was supposed to be, and the lower part of my hair is badly dyed. The colour is only obvious on the top of my head, so I'll be going to have it recoloured.

SIGH... *a pretty big one* I'm getting fatter and fatter and fatter...... Everyone who sees me says ni fei liao/ sihat nye/ sudah gemuk lah/ you've put on weight/ wah, what happened to you etc etc.. I am so stressed! Why is it that I only keep putting on weight when other girls seem to have their secondary school days' body, if not, only better? Why am I the one that can never keep looking beauty than ever? Sien...

I wanted to consume slimming products from Amway, but the package was freaking pricey lah! Cheap ones dangerous pulak.. tell me how lah someone with a kind soul? I need help… sob sob

New things!

2007-04-04T23:36:00.004+08:00

I've got myself a 'new hairstyle'! Marcus (Ching's boyfriend) straightened my fringe and cut it short. I asked him to help me trim my ends, so I sat there and he started to trim, trim, trim. Slowly, he passed me a lil bunch of my hair from the left, then another from the right, and the back, and the middle, gosh! I ended up having a totally different hairstyle! I freaked out a lil at first, but everyone says I look much younger now...

Another new thing I've got is a new job 2 months back, at MXM International; it's a sister company of my previous company. The people in this new company are younger and we don't have to wear office attire to work, plus, every Friday is a Dress Code day. Dress Code day is where a theme is pre-selected and then everyone will have to work on their creativeness and dress up. They who do not dress up accordingly will be fined a fee of RM5, and there is a winner for every theme, he gets the fines plus RM50. Kinda interesting...

These pictures will show you my new look, taken during Chinese New Year at my office when the Lion Dance came to bring us luck! Heehe

What do you think?

These photos are taken on an event of my company at Shangri-la Hotel. The theme on that night was Red and Gold. Old hairstyle.

So do you all agree that I look younger now? =D This weekend, Ching and I will be going to A Cut Above to have our hair done, I can't decide on what to do, suggestions?

To Bangkok we go!

2007-01-22T00:02:00.001+08:00

These were all over the town! Pink cabs. Interesting colour huh, instead of dull red cabs we've got here.

It was a trip to Bangkok for my Mum, Cher Li and me. I've been to the city once, way back when I was still very young. Too young to remember anything except it was quite cooling and I wore the same jacket as my cousin, a red jacket.

Needless to say, we were all very excited over the trip! We promised ourselves to SHOP TILL WE DROP! And stand up to continue shop, and DROP another time!

Day 1

From Kota Bharu, my Dad dropped us at Golok, we then took a van to Narathiwat Airport. The van was meant to be for at most 11 passengers, but the driver ate money and went around Golok fetching another few people! He actually asked us to masuk sikit to fit them all in! Siao!

Narathiwat Airport was pretty simple, the drinks we had there was rather cheap considering it is drinks you drink in an Airport, you know? No photos to show since nothing seemed interesting.

The first meal we had after checking in to the Hotel was McDonald's in Thailand. There are pork burgers which we don't get back home mah, so have to try them out lah.

Their McSaver, pork.

The burger on promotion then, it is something like Mos burger's rice burger, but Mos burger taste a lot better. This was disappointing.

Yam pie, not good either. Nothing was good eh!

We proceeded to take a rest in the hotel room, then went to have a stroll at the street in front of the hotel. We stayed at Silom very near to Patpong night market, which is the infamous night life area. It was pretty much like our Petaling Street, with all the fake stuff, but very expensive. Mum said their customers are the angmohs, not us because they didn't seem interested to tend to us also. There were so many pubs and clubs at the street, we even saw old saggy bums of 2 quite old ladies! They were standing on the table top, practicing for their pole dance later on.

On another side of the streets, there were stalls selling all sorts of things. The shoes and heels were SO cheap! You can definitely find a pair of nice kitten heels at only 100bahts! Isn't that like so very cheap? Only that I have SO big feet, and Thai girls generally have small nice feet... but I did get to buy a few pairs la by the end of our trip. =D

Day 2

MBK Shopping Mall. The mall was rather crowded, but not till the extend of uncomfortable. Not too many things to buy lah, coz all were quite pricey.

Ain't these pretty? I've actually seen them before lah, at Golok.. but it's still nice to look at again.

and nice to eat too!

Yeah it was Christmas season, and I know how outdated my post is...

Believe me when I say the food at Bangkok is superb! Especially if you love spicy food, you can't not love Thai food! I'm salivating now lor... We really ate and ate and ate.. Li and I had 4 bowls (at different places) of Tom Yam this day, we just love it. Too bad Yi-Shen wasn't there with us, he loves to eat too, but he can't really take spicy food.

Salmon fish skin, yummy!

Although I said there weren't much things to buy at MBK, but I bought 7 bags! Heheh, so happy!

Day 3

Gardenia at Thailand eh. So you can see how powerful corporate identities are, you don't read Thai, but you know it is Gardenia!

We went to Central today, they had a very nice food court, it didn't look like a food court, looked more like an expensive restaurant.

The staffs didn't allow me take photos

Dessert, sedap

Pardon the undies at the back

Li eating again, kakaka...

I know how to pronounce this the Thai way. It doesn't go Vi-ta-milk, it goes Wi-ta-miu, hahah!

We went back to MBK again, Li craved for the Tomyam we had the day before. But it was sold out when we arrived, can you imagine how good the business was! Even the locals love it! Today, we tried Pad Thai (Thai fried kuey teow) at 3 different places.

I bought many pairs of earrings but felt I should have bought more when we were back at the hotel. All 3 of us went for a foot massage after a long day of walking. We are all set for a shopping war tomorrow at Jatujak!!!
* I wrote 'I miss Yi-Shen' on my note this day.

Day 4

There isn't many pictures to show here, reason being:

1. Concentration on shopping for:
i. ourselves
ii. gifts for our loved ones (including friends ok?)

2. I didn't have make-up on because I predicted that it will be so damn hot and stuffy and sticky, and I was right. So my advice to you girls when you go to Jatujak is, wear as comfortable as possible, and no make-up because there won't be anyone who'll look at you anyway.

They're prettier

Li found a young designer and loved his artwork, so she bought his piece of shit, oops sorry, designer t-shirt.

Our way back on the skytrain, legs almost felt like they didn't belong to me

LOOK! I felt so satisfied! Across a king sized bed okay?

The place was so huge, we had to go back the next day. Willingly lah... It is such a satisfaction to see great things, and being able to buy it at a good price you know? Yi-Shen won't understand this.

Li insisted to have an oil massage which she enjoyed tremendously whereas I didn't like it. It was so painful lah.. I like Yi-Shen's massage better! hhaha, say this so that I get more of it!

We had dinner at a famous place named Anna's. It was a cosy bungalow-restaurant with friendly staffs. We were eating and talking away when suddenly we heard a few men singing a Happy Birthday song. We looked around and saw them coming towards us, it was Li's birthday! Or, was it? It wasn't lah!! but we don't know what made them think it was! So we just played along and clapped after the song. To think of it, it was so funny coz Li even blew the candles. Lucky she didn't make a wish! If not, it will be a super funny thing for a long long time for us.

Day 5

I guess overall we only managed to cover about 60% of Jatujak. We didn't have the strength to finish it all so we went back to the hotel to put our things and rest. At first we wanted to eat at Tony Roma's for dinner, but decided to have authentic Thai food in the end.

Whenever we eat something, Li and I will definitely add A LOT of chilli flakes in our food, we will end up having bengkak lips and sweaty heads, but we enjoyed every moment of it!

I would love to stay on for the food, but no more shopping for a while. Wait for me, Bangkok!

Don't miss me!

2007-01-08T14:20:00.001+08:00

I'll blog about my trip to Bangkok after I come back from Kota Bharu. My train is tonight! Don't miss me!!

Trip to Penang

2007-01-08T12:37:00.001+08:00

Right after arriving KL, Yi-Shen, Su and Julian and me headed for Penang to spend the long weekend there. We did not prepare food supply for the journey, so when we stopped at one of the highway R&R, Yi-Shen wanted to have some fish.

Very weird to stop and eat fish only right? He said he and his family will surely stop at this particular place for their fish whenever they pass by. So that explains his mouth in the photo!

It was a rather long journey because it kept on raining and the traffic was rather congested. It took us 5 hours or more (I didn't really keep track) for us to finally arrive Penang. We stayed at Yi-Shen's Grandfather's house, a nice old bungalow with a spacious garden and a super obedient dog.

Julian had to have Oh-Jian that very same night we arrived, so guess what? only an hour after we had our dinner, we went to have supper. Su can really eat when she is back in Penang, Julian showed me the picture of her taken the previous visit to Penang, her face was round and happy! Hahahah!

The next day, we went to a market to have our breakfast, after that, we played tikam at a small shop. Unlike the city boys, I know what tikam is, do you? although I never wanted to try playing it before.

Trying our luck to win a brand new handphone.

Imagine kids saving up their money and spending the money on this, trying out their luck and most of the time, their hard-saved money is wasted. Actually tikam infact is gambling, parents should ban their kids from playing tikam! Kids will hate me for this...

Then, because Chyi did my nails for me, and this time there are bling-blings on it, I didn't want to wash my hair myself as I don't want to spoil my nails. So Su and I went to have our hair washed at a hair salon. I asked the lady to scratch hard because my head is so darn itchy after not washing it for 2 days! Heheh... don't say I am dirty, a lot of girls don't wash their hair everyday ok?

Off we go to eat again!

Yi-Shen's cousin, AhLoon and his girlfriend, Ah Suan was very nice to bring us around and accompany us. They could have spent their weekend paktoh-ing.. They are very nice people.

We were at Gurney Drive during New Year's Eve, the amount of people there was A LOT! But luckily, because the beach was big, there were places for us to sit down (but you can't see the performance on stage from here, although we don't want to see also lah) and wait for the count down. It was cooling and nice, we had ice-creams and took pictures.

This is Ah Loon and Ah Suan, they've been together for 10 years already!!

A must-shot of me!

Penang people were very co-operative when it came to spraying the can of you-know-what thing. It started from the front part of the stage and continued row by row, it was like they've gone through a rehearsal! It looked like the wave kind of pattern you see in performance, I was amused!

But the disappointing news is, after the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!! Happy New Year!! There were no fireworks in sight! There were no fireworks on Gurney Drive!!! It can be heard, but it can't be seen, reason being, the fireworks are on the other side of a building!! I'm not sure whether those are for people on the beach to see or not cause obviously we can't see nothing!

After the counting down, we had several bad experiences too. Firstly, it was the walkway out from the beach was small, so imagine the bottle neck problem. The thing is, nobody wanted to give way to nobody! People from both directions pushed each other and in the end now one got to move at all. The situation was so dangerous because the ground we were standing on was of rocks and tidak rata, so if you accidentally be not careful enough, you'll sprain your ankle or fall and bleed and being stepped over by thousands of people and die, on New Year's Day!

Then, after waiting for 2 hours in Gurney Plaza for the traffic congestions in the parking area, it was still jammed! And I don't quite understand why some people have to hold onto their honks when they can't move! Will the flow of the traffic be better if they honked? Stupid brainless uneducated siao langs!

The next day, we went to Prangin Mall to shop but bought nothing, and Penang Street to eat. The rest of the itenary was eat, eat, eat and eat. So many things to eat meh? No lah, keep eating almost the same things lah actually.

At night, I was angry with Yi-Shen because he shouted at me for no reason. He didn't pujuk me right after that and that lead to us not talking the whole night and the whole next day. I almost cried for 2 times because I felt very angry and sad when I see Julian and Su being so loving when my good boyfriend never even care to 'tam' me.

See........................

We took the ferry back to Butterworth.

Can you bear seeing this? How often do we get to take ferries from Penang and I can't take pictures with someone who loves me (not)?? I was damn pissed man! Can't he come and talk nice to me, at least try harder?

Haih.......

3 Angels' Birthday

2007-01-05T18:00:00.001+08:00

Remember the other day when I said we were going to celebrate Ching, Chyi, and my aunt's birthdays? Now this post will be about it.

This was the cake I mentioned on the previous post. Cupcakes! My favourite!!!

The birthday banner, there were balloons as well, just like old time birthday parties.

These are the spread of food we had, no proper table to bring down, so we had to settle with the bench.

Our honorable cook, he did almost all the cooking that night.

These jellies are made by me, I spent the whole afternoon OF MY OFF DAY doing these ok? And mind you, they are no normal jellies, they are colourful layered delicious jellies made by me! And everyone (was forced to) said that they were yummy!

I made the flower hair band. I actually made another 3 for my 3 sisters, but only 2 put them on...

Look how Yi-Shen is enjoying his food.

After filling up our tummies to the very top, it was time to open up the presents!

It was kinda difficult to see what they got because it was dark.

I didn't get to take the photo of my aunt opening her presents lah... =D

Awesome right? I know!

Aren't they pretty? The cakes...

I wanted to take a picture like Chyi's,

but it turned out

like this

Face too round, hair not nice enough.

This is nicer!

My Mum and us. She did not take too many pictures that night coz she was busying cleaning and making sure everyone is ok, best Mum ever!

Everyone had a good time that night, gatherings of all sorts are always enjoyable.

See?

New clothes for old phone

2007-01-05T17:57:00.001+08:00

New clothes for my old phone... something to cheer her up!

My visit to Dr. Wong

2007-01-05T17:00:00.002+08:00

This is the receipt of my visit to Doctor Wong (2 months back lah... heheheh).

Yeah, I know what you are thinking, I myself is still shocked at it too! RM120??? Gosh it is expensive!

When we were in Kota Bharu, the family doctor that we go to charges around RM30 to 40? And we always say he is very expensive, but now look at this!

I've been coughing on and off for like, half a year already? Can't seem to fully recover from it and yesterday I vomited twice because of over coughing! So I knew I had to go to a doctor already. It's not that I didn't take any medications before that, but I never fully recover after taking medicines so far, so that is a reason why I never like going to a clinic when I'm coughing! I feel it is better if I let my cough go away itself, since taking medicine won't really help.

So anyway, I asked around and friends recommended this particular doctor, whose shop is located at SS2. They've already warned me that he is expensive, so I was prepared to pay around RM 80 at most, I told myself, coz it cant be more expensive than that for coughs right? Anyway, we all know how much it cost in the end now lah!

The interior of the clinic is like what we see 10 years back. You know how you dread going to the clinic/dentist because the walls look scary; clean, but scary! And the smell!

So, this clinic had the same walls! It looks simple and nice, but in an old fashioned way.

Meeting Dr. Wong himself was an experience! He speaks very softly, he don't quite look at you when he speaks (kinda freaky), he frowns a little when he speaks, etc lah! You must go see him yourself (touch wood, I know) then you'll know what I'm saying!

Dr. Wong said that I had to stop taking cold drinks, cold things, no sweet things, no chicken, no fruits. No fruits? I was like, huh? But whatever he says, I will do, because he is way too expensive not to follow! So it wasn't fun coz I had to stop myself from taking spicy food as well, and not being able to take cold drinks in such hot weather is no fun at all...

P/s: Since this post is late by 2 months, I actually didn't recover from the first visit to the Doctor. I had to go for another one time where he asked me to go for an X-ray for the sake of peace of mind (for me and him, apparently), and after confirming that my lungs are ok, I continued taking his medicines for another 2 rounds and my cough recovered. Yeah you can imagine how much money this cough cost!

So is Dr. Wong good or not, I don't know.

Kenny Sia

2007-01-05T15:44:00.001+08:00

I am a fan of Kennysia's blog, which was introduced to me by my sis more than a year ago. We enjoyed his blogging but there was a stage where I find getting kinda boring because his entries was getting predictable. The way he concludes the entry by by editing pictures with his head or body on something (or someone else) actually wasn't that funny anymore then. So I started to loose interest in his blog.

Until one day, I decided to read his previous posts, and I started to like him all over again. Reading Someone's archives can make you get to know him/ her. It may not be the real self the blogger is portraying in his entries, but anyhow it is the one side of him he is revealing. It is kinda interesting (and kepo-ing)!

I'm almost finishing all of the entries now, these are the 2 entries that are super funny, you guys should check them out!
About his privates, as always
About a darn funny letter

The first time I actually hear kennysia's voice was through the video clip in his blog, eww, it didn't sound good! Reading his blog all these while made me think that he has a very macho kind of voice, hahah! But I admire him for losing 8 kgs last year! I would never have the will power to do that myself.

Kenny Sia seems like a nice guy, although he always wants us girls to believe that his balls are the size of coconuts... I would like to meet him one day, so that he can prove it.

Carnevale Italiano

2006-10-21T10:56:00.001+08:00

Recently at the restaurant, we had a one month event called Carnevale Italiano. We had an Italian guest chef from Gold Coast for the month and the restaurant was decorated more Italian-ly. Hah!

We had a gala dinner one night where service crew forfeited their normal uniforms and wore white shirts with an Italian sash as their belts, the main hostess wore an Italian costume, and there was a live band too!

I was also the hostess that night, but did not manage to take any photos of myself. Work mah...

a night out at The Curve

2006-10-11T16:24:00.001+08:00

The Curve is a very nice place, i really like it there.

you get the relaxing and calm feeling when you're there.

the band is always there performing during weekends, and they always have programs and surprises for customers. i really like live bands.

i was there with yi-shen and my friends; su, julian, wai mun and brendan for a night out the other day. we had dinner at Sakae Sushi, my first time there.

the food was very normal. the sushi's lost to what Sushi King had. the unique thing they provide was the order-by-yourself-without-the-hassle-of-calling-for-the-waiter service. you browse through the lcd screen and pick what you want from there.

there are pictures and descriptions for every item on the menu. but i got drowsy after a while because the wire for the mouse was very short, the lcd screen is at your side and it was much higher than your head level, so you'd have to look high up, stretch your arm and strain your eyes at looking at the small words. you'd feel sick too!

this particular dish looked so tempting on screen, but disappointed all of us when it arrived.

"so different from the picture wan!"

and the taste? horrible!

this is su and wai mun.

this is wai mun, and brendan; her boyfriend.

this is me and julian; su's husband. they just got engaged! happie rite? =D

and this is yi-shen and me.

OH YEAH, I OFFICIALLY AM BLIND! I MEAN, NEED GLASSES. hate it, so uncomfortable wearing glasses!

after dinner, we wanted to catch a movie but couldn't get nice seats coz it was a saturday night. we ended up at paddington's house of pancakes.

somebody stole one of the banana fritters before i could take a picture! guess who was it? (hint: his name starts with a B)

looking at the newly weds' wedding photos. a girl is always princessly pretty as a bride... slurrrpp....

i'm pretty too!

my mum is coming and i am happy

2006-10-11T16:07:00.001+08:00

I'm Happy!

my mum and cher li is coming this friday for the weekend! yay! ginger won't be coming though... AND we're having a bbq party that night! you know how excited i get over parties, especially when i am the one organizing them!

actually it is a birthday party for my aunt, ching and chyi. since their birthdays are all in october, and since we always celebrate birthdays, so this time around, instead of celebrating it at some expensive-and-not-nice-food restaurant, i suggested a poolside bbq party!

i spent today (my off day) preparing the jellies and i'm gonna get the trifle done tonight. my mum's gonna arrive on friday morning, and we will go to the market and buy the things needed for the night. chyi's gonna marinate the chicken and lamb, mum's gonna make her delicious tuna sandwich, aunt's gonna cook curry chicken and potato salad.

i'm thinking of barbequeing stuffed mushrooms; should be good... i don't know. the cake's gonna be awesome! or so i think... because they are cupcakes!! i've made orders and will collect them tomorrow.

you guys be patient and i'll blog about the party after my mum goes back!

2006-10-11T16:02:00.001+08:00

these are hanging on my phone at the moment. the crystal is very nice! it is a gift from my lady boss, Sylvia. "thanks for the parties you did", she said to me! i am so happy!

Nice? i sendiri lekat wan ok? my phone's keypad is actually so conked already, but because of these bling-bligns, i don't want to change my phone eventhough yi-shen wants to buy me one... coz i really like my phone now!

imagine when my phone rings, i pick it up and flip it open, and say "hello~"

phhooyiuh~

heeheheheee...

this is called obsessed

2006-10-11T15:54:00.001+08:00

as you all know, i'm obsessed with cupcakes lately...

i recently bought a bottle of hand cream, and found out that the tip of the cream is edgy. what do i mean, you ask.

the cream comes out with patterns because of the edges.

so really wanting to go for cupcake decorating classes, this came to my mind...

Easter Day

2006-09-29T13:16:00.001+08:00

I know Easter has long passed, I will still blog about my Easter here. Easter was my first big function held in Marco's Pizza, it was a success although the amount of kids participated was far lesser than expected.

We had to search for little baskets to put our Easter eggs into as centerpieces, bigger baskets for egg hunting, did the table tent cards design, Easter banner, we tried out the decoration of the eggs, searched for appropriate Easter story and etc.

Me decorating the eggs. Ching and Chyi helped me until late at night. Obviously, my cheeks are photoshopped already.. you know lah, worked until late at night sure won't make a girl look good... so had to add some colour to my face!

Places we hide the eggs.

This was the egg decorating session. I didn't expect the 2 year old boys would participate too! And they managed to keep the egg in one piece.

We had egg hunting and storytelling too. It was certainly an enjoyable event!

Time to take a group photo!

1st try

2nd try

Yippie!

work place

2006-09-29T13:04:00.003+08:00

I recently saw an email about the work place of Google. I don't know how true the email is, but it certainly looks good! To decorate and personalize your desk makes you want to wake up in the morning and go to work more!

Then, looking at my desk, I see some personalization as well, although it can't be compared to what Google workers have, it is at least better than other people's desks.

This is my desk.

My monitor, previously there were 3 big hello kitties on my monitor, but I took 2 down and threw them away coz they were already crumpled after shifting office.

My feng shui items; to keep me happy and wealthy.

The rooster is to counter office politics. As you can see, there is already one on top of my monitor. I need 2, because I really don't want to be the victim of office politickings.

I just stick a lot of hello kitty stickers on my keyboard. It is not that I love hello kitty ok, it is because so happen I have the stickers, so to make me happier working, I made my keyboard happier and lifelier. The stickers are obviously not enough. I will work on it.

Happy working!!

p/s: if you'd like to receive the Google work place email, let me know and give me your email add, I'll send it to you.

back to kb

2006-09-27T23:26:00.001+08:00

after such a long time, i finally got the chance to go back to kb for a break. from the stress of my working place, i really needed this trip. i went back for 4 days and ended up didn't want to come back. felt so sad when i thought of what i have to face everyday and really needed the strength to do so... =(

photos i took in lcct. so lousy... lousier than kb's airport.

i didn't take much photos this trip back.

we had nasi ulam for lunch one day.

this is budu, a must with nasi ulam. you must squeeze plenty of lime in it, and chilli padis too.

if you guys do want to visit kelantan, must go and try nasi ulam yeah!

--------------------------------------------------

beng chuan has gone to UK for his degree. it will be a year later that i'll see him again. i could see how sad his mum was at the airport when he bid goodbye to them, made me want to cry myself. i really can't stand these kinda moments... beng chuan and i took the same flight back to kl, yi-shen fetched him back to his sis place and we said bye there. it wasn't a proper goodbye though... i didn't go to the airport with him the next day coz i had to work.

i hope everyone will grow and mature in one years' time...

2006-09-27T23:02:00.002+08:00

cher li made these for me! we went into a shop one day when she was here in kl and saw these books selling at RM10 plus per book. i told her it's for sure that we can make them ourselves. it definitely didn't have to cost that much!

so when she and my mum came to kl again, she gave it to me, so gan dong! mum said she spent so much time on it.

ching and i saw this car when we were at sunway pyramid. we were there for lunch at sushi king when they had this RM2 promo going on. there were 5 of us but the rest left earlier so me, ching and yi chang stayed on and saw this car.

look at the interior! it is totally for a diva ok? there were mirrors when you looked up! and a disco ball!

yeah... our diva...

-----------------------------------------------------

yi-shen and i had long planned to go to spice garden for dinner coz the one we had at genting was nice. so finally, we found time to go one fine day.

lots of food pictures...

the soups

and look, they have this! the brown thing... it is pickled lime! i can only find it in one shop in kelantan previously, but now i can find it here already! it is oh-so delicious i tell you... once you've tried it, you'll love it for sure! and like me now, you'll salivate when you think of it.

papadam

their naan. it is different from what you have in normal mamak shops. they are thinner and they taste good.

the tandoori chicken is also nice.

sorry i can't remember what all the above are already... we ordered too many dishes and ended up so full! but sadly, none of the dishes are spicy at all! i guess northern indian cuisine is not spicy afterall...

happie

2006-09-27T16:11:00.002+08:00

looking at these pictures make me happie!

actually i am rather easy to please, or so i feel. i can get happy and all excited over a gathering with friends, a dinner with relatives, anything that can be an excuse for dressing up and look pretty!

i can get happy looking at beautiful pictures, reading funny blogs, eating good food, watching a funny movie...

i can even get hyper helping a friend plan her wedding! so hyper that i stop and think, this is not my wedding, why am i so excited over it?

anyhow, i can get sad over a lot of things too... but of course, i wouldn't want to spoil the happy mood here now! =*

Cupcakes

2006-09-07T12:22:00.001+08:00

Another update on some of the cupcake pictures I found on the internet that are super adorable! They are so nice that you'll wanna touch them and love them, like little puppies!

For a change... a not so typical wedding cake, I'll want a cupcake wedding cake for my wedding too!!

I am too lazy to actually photoshop the urls on the photos.

I really feel like learning how to make cupcakes!!!!

Our Genting Trip

2006-09-07T12:10:00.001+08:00

Chyi, Yi-Shen and I went to Genting a few months back, I can't really remember when. We stayed at Awana Hotel, which means we can cook up there! So Chyi and I went shopping for food before going up. One of the things we enjoy most!

We bought lemang on our way, it is something we definitely buy whenever we go to Genting. The lemangs taste very good sometimes when it's very salty!

Chyi trying it out first

The weather wasn't too cold, mainly because we stayed at Awana, which was not so high up. We unpacked and gave the utensils a wash before we cooked anything. Some of the utensils were so gross! I brought our own sponge up to wash the dishes, because the sponge they provide is always like 5 years old already! (given that 5 years old is the oldest a sponge can get, which they are already half dead and ready to be buried)

Oh now I remember exactly when did we go, it was my birthday! So I gave them a dinner treat at Spice Garden, a northern cuisine restaurant. We ordered tandoori chicken, sambal prawns, and curry lamb with a few kinds of naan.

Disappointingly, nothing was spicy enough for us. We expected it to be extra spicy since the restaurant manager warned us the food is spicy! I love spicy food! Nevertheless, the food was considered good. We're planning to go to the one in Subang very soon.

We went to Starbucks for drinks, took loads of pictures; Mostly self-obsessed photos.

Chyi trying to act as if it is super cold and to show off her fingernails!

Yi-shen not pretending to read, he was really reading while we sisters enjoyed ourselves taking stupid pictures...

This is a picture taken by yi-shen, seldomly he takes nice pictures of me.. I always complain coz other people always get nice nice pictures of themselves because I always know how to take nice angles; to make them look slimmer, prettier, nicer, fairer, taller, longer legs (ok I'm exaggerating)... but me? What about me? My pictures in the pc that are nice are always self-taken! I am gonna vomit looking at them soon! Why can't someone help me take nice pictures of myself? Hate it...

I shouldn't end my post this way, it sounds like I'll still be upset the whole day. BUT I AM!!!!

=D

when my mum and youngest sister came for holiday

2006-09-06T12:25:00.001+08:00

when my mum and youngest sister came for holiday....

we went out e-ve-ry-day.

we went for hair perms, makans, karaoke sessions, makans, and of course not to forget shopping! my legs were almost numb after so many days of walking.

this is the card i made for li, coz she was jealous that i made a birthday card for faye and did nothing for her birthday! so now she's happy.

a picture of me, ugly but pretty. wahaha!

we visited one vietnamese restaurant named in sunway pyramid. the food was surprisingly tasty. we ordered a platter, (which as usual, i forgot to take a picture. all we remember is to eat when the food comes, it's always until we've eaten almost half of it that one of us will say "OH! we forgot to take a picture!!") a noodle, and a dessert.

the menu

this is me and my mum trying to pose for a picture of pretending to study the menu.

but in the end we did manage to capture one that is not too fake.

the waiter is from vietnam itself, and was friendly enough to tell my mum how is the weather there coz my mum is making plans to go to vietnam with my dad sometime.

and this is cher li, my youngest sister falling in love with the vietnamese waiter! hahaha! (this was what i told her i'm gonna write in my blog)

eating time!

the food was good, the environment of the restaurant was also quite good, the service was good, plus the owner of the restaurant was so so friendly that it was abit too much! she kinda talk to us like old friends. but of course, it's better than having bad service lah right... so, i will go back to the restaurant again next time i'm in sunway pyramid.

we had tea one day at paddington house of pancake when yi-shen's mum so happen came to kl too. so it was sort of like a parents meet up thing. it turned out ok, everyone liked everyone. except our dear yi-shen was disturbingly quiet which he denies but was so obvious.

this was what we shared, normal pancake with a scoop of ice-cream and some bananas. the pancakes are nice, they are different from what you cook at home or eat at waffle's world. you guys should go and have a try.

the variety of pancakes so was large that we needed time to actually choose what we wanted. from gourmet to desserts, they are all made of pancakes. there are thick and thin pancakes, pancakes from different countries, pancakes of different colours, etc etc.

this is the half eaten picture of what cher li ordered. there are all sorts of berries in it, the pancakes are of smaller sized and is called dollar pancakes. interesting.

this is their version of bruchetta

although it is quite pricey to dine there, i will go again coz there are so many things i want to try out.

my mum stayed with us for too many a days that i missed going back home from work to see her at home. how i wish she can shift to kl and stay with us...

a day out

2006-09-05T23:38:00.001+08:00

this was how my hair looked before i went for a perm, accompanied by beng chuan, a home town friend if i haven't ever introduced him here. maybe this picture don't really show how my hair once looked, but i look good in it! so i decided on this particular pic! =D

so, it was my off day and i made an appointment for perming my hair since the curls were long gone. i last permed my hair like a year ago, if i'm not mistaken.

the progress... lasted for a long 4 hours... poor beng chuan...

i asked him to post as if he is very tired and bored of waiting, but after several shots, this is the best we could get.

posing

i requested for big loose end curls, coz i like sexy matured curls... you know, like Suqi's? but i don't like Suqi, but i can't think of another actress that has those kinda curls permanently since they always change their hairstyles. ANYWAY, the outcome was horrible! i totally disliked my hair when it was done! the curls was oh so small! it was like a bowl of maggie mee poured onto my head and it was left hanging there! gosh!

we went walking around the shopping mall but nothing was that interesting. almost everything everywhere is the same. then, we decided to do something else. so off we went for another treat for ourselves, another for me at least...

i chose a foot massage while beng chuan insisted that he would do without that and opt for a back massage instead. how boring! if i want a back massage, i'll go for a full one! cause you only sit down and lay forward for this one.

does he looks like he's enjoying himself? hahah! it was painful the whole 45 minutes according to him, and had backache the next day!

the interior was kinda nice, although it is only a small hut, it has a very comfortable feeling.

look at the pillars, it even has hand-painted (or so i guess) motifs on it.

my foot massage was only ok. the lady went too hard on my calfs but too soft on my feet. it would be much nicer if it's the other way around.

they gave us a cup of warm tea before leaving, maybe to cleanse the toxics that they've loosen up.

finally, a picture before leaving.

my hair looks better now after several washes, but i will be reperming my hair soon! i gotta get it layered first to cut off some weight coz it's of almost the same length now.

wait for my new hairstyle then!!

Cupcakes!

2006-08-16T12:05:00.001+08:00

I've fallen in love with pretty pretty cupcakes lately!

it was when one of our company's cake supplier showed me her cupcakes that amazed me; she designed cup cakes even for babies full moon celebration, blue for baby boys and pink for baby girls. so instead of giving typical full moon ang-ku-kueys, you can impress your friends and
relatives with the oh-wow-cupcakes. look!

elmo and cookie monsters faces cupcakes!

Don't you just love those irresistable rainbow colours butter icing coated on top of the cupcakes? how creatively the small cakes can be transformed into! instead of the normal round birthday cakes with "happy birthday cheryi" spelled on it, you can opt for cupcakes nowadays! i'm so sure everyone will go ooh and ahh over the cupcakes! i know i am talking like i'm selling cupcakes myself, but i don't know why but i'm just madly in love with them out of a sudden that i am seeing that i have a nice small store selling cupcakes!

it will be so beautiful and attractive and that everyone will wanna come and buy even if they don't normally like cakes! but they will like my cakes because my cakes are nice lil cupcakes!

this is a nice shop

this is my very own cupcake logo i designed out of 10 minutes! haha! CHERRIE CUPCAKES will be my shop name, heh, guess this will do for the time being!

i'll have my logo everywhere! on the plates, on the wall, on the boxes, on the ceiling, the door, the window, the paper bag, my apron, eveywhere! and slowly i'll have the cupcake logo on notebooks, pencils, ribbons and everthing, that people can buy because they won't be able to resist the cute pink cupcake picture and they'll wanna have it!

as i was talking to my sis, we'll run this business together, my mum will be tending to the shop, ching being the marketing manager, since she studied marketing; chyi will be the head chef, as she wanted to be a chef but because of her precious fingernails she decided against it! and me, i'll be the creative director for our brand!

yeah, since secondary school days, whatever shop it may be, we've been constantly planning for our own nice and cosy shop. there had been plans for a bridal shop, handi-craft shop, what else i can't remember.. but my best friend chew szee and i had always wanted to have a shop, until we've grown up, she went to singapore, me still here, given up hope about my other 'dream' of being a cabin crew while keep putting on weight; that we slowly forget about the dreams we had together. but remembering what we shared those days brings back real good feelings!

well for now, i'll continue dreaming of my shop...

in the mean time, do promise you'll be my customer when you see my shop one day!

my birthday

2006-07-21T21:31:00.001+08:00

It has been more than a month ago that i celebrated my birthday at TGIF with my sisters, yi-shen, buiyi (my aunt) and my cousin. I did wear the dress i bought to the dinner. Well, the food sucks, but we did enjoy ourselves.

ching wore a dress too, a green new one. i won't show you her picture here coz i want to be the prettiest here in my blog. buiyi and faye did wore dresses as well, only chyi didn't coz she said she doesn't have one.

Not so nice but still gotta show coz there isn't many pictures that were nicely taken, thanks to yi-shen, '_'

the appetizers

chyi's steak

my lamb chop, which was so disappointing!

yi-shen had chicken, nando's is better than them.

i forgot what this was, but sure don't look good, nor taste good either.

faye's pasta

ching's pasta, i remember she said it was good.

showing you the rings i got.

i brought a lot of pirate's stuff there, and at the end of the party, we brought out the pirates in us! and took pictures...

someone's posing... =D

on another day, actually it's one day before my birthday, we went drinking in sri hartamas. didn't really enjoyed myself coz it was kinda boring. couldn't get drunk, that's why!

only chyi went with me, ching was too tired, she claimed... broke my heart.

yi-shen and 3 other friends went together but not gonna show the pictures lah, tiring.

____________________________________________________
(another story)

Ching went and perm her hair! she really has the courage, look what she's done.

before

after

heheh.... ok lah, show you a more recent pic.

by the way, the one standing beside ching is chyi. have they changed?

you'll have to go through this if you want to perm you hair like hers. they calculated, she had 180 curlers on her head.

but it's worth it lah, right?

____________________________________________________

(another nother story)

alicia, my closest cousin who has been in australia many many years already, came back recently. i managed to meet up with her only for 2 days. not enough time to really catch up, we took a couple of pictures in KLIA when yi-shen and i sent them there.

whoever knows my cousin will know that she has lost tons of weight! she is now skin wrap bone only ok! everyone can loose weight, only me is always put on never loose it! huak!

lastly, whole big family take photo lorh! When she left, everyone cried... (except the oh-so-macho guys). not to say i wanna be so emotional lah, but if you were there, you'd cry too!

____________________________________________________

i'll next tell you all about the big party i organized. it was awesome! heheh! actually , my job is not only organizing parties lah, i have to do a lot of other things too. like secretarial jobs lah, personal assistant's job lah, runner, waitress, cleaner.... hahha!!

What have I been up to lately?

2006-07-21T18:46:00.001+08:00

Aye aye Capt'!

Lately, I have been very busy with an upcoming birthday party. The theme of the party is Pirates this time, and it's my boss' birthday.

Let me tell you how busy I am, okay?

Last month, I organized 2 themed parties in a row for their children, Fairies & Wizards for the daughter, and Pirates for the son.

The decorations...

Every gal got a pair of fairy wings when they arrived, and wizard hats for the boys.

too bad I was too busy and didn't manage to take a picture of the boys with their wizard hats. Two boys even came with their own hat and robe, which made them look like Harry Potter!

We had a Fairy's Nail Art Station for the fairies, of course.

Make-up!

Alexander is super cute, I just love him! Every girl will fall in love with him!

"I'm not naughty, I'm funny!" Can you believe that? I heard him telling one uncle at the party.

The cake was awesome! Ask me if you want the contacts of this lady who baked the cake, she bakes wonderful cakes!

Look! It even had something to surprise the kids! There were lotsa jelly beans underneath the castle roof!

Pinata! I was kinda excited over this because it was my first pinata… I mean, it wasn't for me, but it was a party I organized!

Sadly, no one got to break the pinata, it was a lousy pinata! So in the end, I tored the pinata into half! Although that shouldn't be the way, every kid was too busy with the goodies fallen down and couldn't be bothered that they weren't the one who broke the damned pinata!

The birthday girl and her giant Birthday card.

p/s: It took ages for me to upload the pictures! I'm feeling KINDA frustrated over it! I can only upload one picture at a time and it's irritating!!!

BIG SIGH.....

Now, the Pirate Birthday Bash.

This time, we had a pirate's tattoo station. This is a must because everyone knows that all pirates needs tattoos, right? hehe..

Not only the kids wanted tattoos, the mums chose the large ones! *roll eyes*

I had swords hanging on the ceiling, and pirate flags all around.

Swords made of balloons, which I think looks good. We actually had a pinata as well, but no pictures...... sorrrrrrwie~

Tell me this cake didn't impress you.

Look at him!

The pirates.

The cute one.

Again, you all must excuse me if the pictures aren't too interesting as it sounds. It is solely because I had so many things to do I totally didn't have the time to take nice pictures. Please have better imagination! =D Thanks.

2006-06-20T18:20:00.001+08:00

Years come and go...But today is a special day...

20062006

A double match

It happens only once in a lifetime. And it's my birthday~!

Super Good Mood

2006-06-16T17:06:00.001+08:00

I'm in a very good mood because MY BIRTHDAY is coming soon!

I'm feeling extra happy this year, I don't know why.

I feel like celebrating with everyone, I feel like going for holidays, I feel like shopping!

I just bought myself a dress from Women's Secret because I feel like it.

And guess what? It's from the New Arrival rack! I don't do that! But I extremely like it, except that my ultra-extra-super big tummy can be shown a little. But I still like it! I'll wear it to the dinner with my cousin and sisters.

I'll be pretty!

I'm going to Genting on my birthday. Although it's not to celebrate my birthday, but I chose that day to take a break from work and go relax. (at Genting? pathetic...) Ching won't be joining us cause she FAILED ONE OF HER PAPER and has to sit for the supplementary paper!! What a loser... failed... *roll eyes*

Nevermind, Chyi is still going, I guess we will have fun. We can go lingerie shopping at Blush! It's very cheap there. We can go for our karaoke session. We can, we can, what else can we do up there?

Anyway, I'll have fun on my birthday! I want to!

Blurrrr

2006-06-12T11:47:00.001+08:00

Don't tell me I'm gonna loose my perfect eyesight soon! I can't!

I heard friends saying that once you hit 25, your perfect eyesight will remain (that is if you do have perfect eyesight lah) until you grow old and have to wear old people's specs. I'm somewhere there already mah! I can't loose it when I'm almost there~

I can't really see small wordings in a distance, I can't see the clock on the wall in front of the office clearly. . . I'm kinda worried. . .

I've always been proud of the fact that all 3 of my sisters need specs but I don't. Really, I don't wish to be one of them. =(

But to think of it again, I may look nice wearing specs. Then I can have another accessory to play with. . .

Oh, whatever!

060606

2006-06-06T09:23:00.001+08:00

Last year, when it was 5th of May, it was my mom's birthday, 050505. We bought pretty pretty flowers and a cake for her, I remember it was pretty fun and Yi- Shen together with Pen Hau was in Kota Bharu.

Today, it is 6th of June, which make today 060606, a day that will only happen once in a life time. And I am feeling extra happy because this is the month of my birthday! So I told myself, I must write something here, to remember this day. So that when I am old, I can look back and remember doing something today.

But, next year, there'll be 070707, then 080808, then 090909, and 101010, and the list goes on. And everyone will get excited over it, make it a big deal, get married, give birth... hahah! But it' not a bad thing, having something to celebrate of is always a nice thing to do. I never run out of love for celebrations, especially if you let me organize it! Hah!

2006-05-23T18:11:00.001+08:00

I can't help but fall in love with this picture.

fucked up ok counter

2006-05-08T23:22:00.001+08:00

they didn't even send me an email or whatever shit saying that they're having a system renewal or whatever! and out of a sudden my counter disappeared... now i have to recreate one, but i can't remember the last number of visitors i had... anyway... haih... whatever!

Some Entertainment News

2006-04-29T09:51:00.001+08:00

"What??? Married?!"

That was my reaction when Ching told me that one of my ex boyfriend has got married. It was like, wow, I can't believe it, I don't know why, I just can't.

Let me tell you some history of mine here as I guess he won't be one of my readers. Kakaka! Anyway, this ex boyfriend was disgusted by my dear mum because of certain issues; so in a way, she did not like the idea of me being friends with him after the break up (which is not what I do because I am someone who don't mind being friends with exes unless, unless they made me hate them, or they hate me).

You may say I am jealous or envious or whatever, but of him? I know I'm not, not in a million years! Hahaha! It was just a thing that got me thinking, why was I amazed? He is older than me indeed, so it is only normal to get married when you reach a certain age lah. Then why did I have the oh-i-can't-believe-he's-married feeling?

I think it is because the way he managed to have another girlfriend (as far as I know it is one lah) when we were together, the stories he told me about his exes, the things I saw when we were together, and the stories he told me after we broke up (and haven't found out about what he did that made my mum angry).

I don't think he is someone who will get married so soon, nor is he someone who will settle down with a girl so early. There must be a reason! Has he changed? Hah! Less likely...

It is his attitude and personality that left a very strong impression in me; I would want to think that he being he, it must be that he has got the girl pregnant, that's why. But it has been years way back that I got to know him, people do change, maybe.

Christmas (B)

2006-01-20T14:55:00.001+08:00

This is my banner!

Actually my dear friend Pen Hau was supposed to be one of the organizers too, but (to all of you who know him) you know la, he being he... in the end, he was our Santa Claus!!

Ho Ho Ho! Gift for everyone!

Drinks bar

At the party, I got so drunk that I couldn't focus on the ceiling when I looked at it.

Christmas (A)

The Tree

The Centrepiece

Pre-Christmas

2006-01-20T13:41:00.001+08:00

I was the organizer of our office Christmas party; I sent out invitations to all who're invited, arranged the food catering, did all the decorations, etc etc. Yes, I'm proud of it coz I feel it turned out pretty enjoyable! Everyone had fun! Everyone got drunk!

Well since I was the one who decorated the office, I decided that if we have a banner that is drawn by ourselves, it'd be even meaningful. So off we went to buy fabric paint and stuffs needed.

I did all the sketching, measuring, drawing, painting, alone, clever leh~~~

Except the Santa's sack la, Yi-Shen was the one who painted the sack, which turned out not-so-nice-compared-to-mine!! hahah! He wanted to achieve a 3d effect, doesn't want the sack to look flat, like my Santa. *_*

Sigh, I don't know why I can't upload more photos already. I tried for so many times but the pictures doesn't seem to appear after uploading...

fishy

2006-01-20T13:15:00.001+08:00

The photos are dark.

Jay Chow's girl; Hou Pei Chen.

Yi-Shen's girl; ME!

S.H.E!!

2006-01-18T16:55:00.001+08:00

Selina

ahaha!! Just kidding. This is Storm, the Chow Chow that everyone loved! he is so cute!

This is Storm's father, I forgot his name, look at his eyes!! You have to lift his eyebrows up then only you can see his eyes!

For the time being, these are the pictures that I'll upload, the connection here is not so good...

Fan's of S.H.E?

2006-01-09T11:22:00.001+08:00

Any of you here are super fans of S.H.E? 'Coz if you are, you'll be so jealous of me because I'm gonna meet them in person and be with them from day to night! Hah! We're going for a shooting day after tomorrow, and of course, the hosts will be the very famous S.H.E!

It's not like I'm a super fan (or fan) of theirs la, but after all, this will be my first time working with super well known celebrities from Taiwan wor... So, must let you guys know la! hehe...

Well, before getting to work with them, what I feel about them for the time being is;

Ella, I don't hate nor like her. Hebe, I personally like her most because I feel she is less pretentious compared to the think-she's-so-pretty Selina! Selina is so very pretentious la! I can't stand her! She goes ee-aa-ee all the time, and her voice!

Her voice, when I say I hate the way she talks (because of her voice, which I think is so fake), it makes me think of how some girls hate me because of the way I talk. To them, I'm also a pretentious person who fakes the oh-so-manja voice to make guys like me. But... the way I talk, even to my mum, is really like this! Takkan I can fake the way I talk for so long? =( But Selina! Is her voice really that 'nosey'? (If you don't understand what 'nosey' is, it's talking with real a lot of bi2 yin1.) We'll wait and see lah, see if she speaks in that tone off screen.

So let's just wait and see how it turns out la, maybe in the end the one I like most is Selina, who knows? ;)

Housefly In Soup

2006-01-04T17:00:00.001+08:00

Customer: Wa!! Boss! There's a fly in my soup la! Apalah?

Boss: Ha? Really? Where? Let me see?

Customer: Of course real la! See? See? See?

Boss: Oh, ok, sorry, sorry, I change for you.

Customer: (To friend) Wa, make me drink the whole bowl of soup that has a housefly in it la... this shop ah, next time cannot come la!

Friend: Yeah loh, must ask him to give discount la.

Boss: Here you go Boss, sorry ah! Later I give you discount, no problem!

Did that housefly decide to swim in that particular bowl of soup, or was it a very ambitious fly who wanted to swim in the whole pot of soup?

Will the customer drink the second bowl of soup given, or will he go back and vomit what he had consumed?

If the fly indeed was an ambitious one, and if the customer decided to drink the new bowl of soup thinking that the fly wasn't an ambitious one, what's the conclusion, my friends?

If she (let's assume my soup drinking character is a female la, females are more bitchy ma!) were to ask for a big discount, pay her bill and never go to that shop again, go around telling all the people she knows, plus the people she doesn't know to not to go to that shop anymore; it may be because she feels it’s an super-non-hygienic-restaurant.

If, she were to complain and complain about the fly to her friends that are together with her, drink the new bowl of soup, continue complaining some more, ask for a big discount, pay her bill and never go to that shop again, go around telling all the people she knows, plus the people she doesn't know to not to go to that shop anymore; then, it may be because her female instinct tells her that the housefly is not an ambitious one.

Gosh, I'm confused of myself.

What I feel about this is, that most of the time the way people react is all in the mindset when these kinda situations arise.

We can:

(A) tell ourselves that the germs of the housefly has long been killed by the temperature of the boiling soup, and don't have to make a big fuss over the heroic-fly;

or,

(B) think and do otherwise.

It is this (A) and (B) that's confusing me. Why do most of us (at least for me I will) choose (B) when (A) is a much more harmonious way of dealing with things? 'Coz you know why? It makes our lives more interesting and spicy! And I love spicy food!!!

I guess that's why... (at least for me it is.)

Doing Sweet Things

2006-01-03T18:39:00.001+08:00

When Cher Li bought an ice-cream to my surprise the other day, it made me think about the sweet things people around me did for me.

Well, in Cher Li's case, it was when we were at Mid Valley shopping. She was sharing an ice-cream together with my mum when they offered me a mouth of it and i declined. Why, they asked, i simply said that i want Mandarin-Orange flavoured and not what they're having. It was really just an excuse for not wanting to eat just because i didn't feel like it. So, we continued shopping and forgot about the comment i gave when suddenly, Cher Li patted me at my back and when i turned around, she was holding a Mandarin-Orange ice-cream for me!!! How sweet right?

Another sweet thing done for me is one morning when i was getting ready for work ( it was a day off for Yi-Shen so he was still sleeping), he suddenly got up and went out of the room. I continued doing my things and eventually Yi-Shen got back in the room and went to sleep again. I didn't ask him la why did he go out, but i found out why when I walked out of the room and saw a glass of hot Milo on the table, for me... How sweet right?

It's these small things that people do for you, that can make you melt and feel very happy, right?

I Know This is WAY Too Late

2006-01-03T17:53:00.001+08:00

I know this entry is way too late, but since I made a promise of writing about it (which I do want to), and for hoping that by updating my blog, my web counter will come back to me, here goes.

The concert was a tremendous one! And what more, it lasted for 3 hours, which I feel is very worth my money. Although I was only sitting at he RM140 area It was really too bad that we had to leave before the concert ended. We left with heavy steps because we had to catch the last commuter train.

The next day when I read the newspapers, I shouted!! Yerh! When we left, she sang another 3 songs! And one of it is my favourite! Too bad...

Well, during the concert, we got caught taking photos several times. The not so macho security ah pek (he's not an old man, but I call him ah pek because I don't like him) even started a hand wrestle with Cher Ching because he wanted to snatch our camera away from us! So while Ching was battling with him, I kept very quiet (not looking at him) and sort of continue looking at Fish Leong sing! Finally, he left, zhen1 tao3 yan4! Some people were happily taking away and he doesn't seem to see it?!

Anyway, let's talk about happier things. As always, there're always many people who shouts at the celebrities name while thery're on stage right, well, we did too! BUT, we did it when Fish Leong was talking and when everyone else was quietly, paying full attention to what she was saying! Whoa! It was awesome! She heard us, everyone did! Fish Leong even stopped for a while, smiling!

Overall, the concert was enjoyable. Too bad Andy Lau came to Malaysia for his concert too soon. Because I didn't feel I have the extra money to go to his concert although he was in my swear together with Fish Leong. I once sweared that I'll go for sure to his and her concert if ever they come to Malaysia. Heheh...

Anyway, as you guys may notice that there're no photos at all here. Please give me a little time as it is very hard for me to blog nowadays since our house has no internet connection yet. So, i'll burn the pictures into a cd and bring it here, then only upload them lah! =*

where is my counter?!!!!

2006-01-03T17:46:00.001+08:00

oh my god! where has my web counter gone to? don't tell me it has disappeared! is it because it has been too long since i cared to update my blog? is it because of that? can that actually happen? my gosh, what should i do now? i'll be very sad if it's gone forever!!!! sorry, sorry! i'm sorry, please come back!!!!!!!!!!

just feel like it

2005-11-08T16:40:00.001+08:00

The only thing missing is a nice rainbow.

My Party

2005-11-07T16:09:00.001+08:00

How did the party go? Anyone wondering? No one asked about it. Is it because I didn't invite you? Aww... come on... =D If i really did invite you, would you then say it's far to come? (errr... Who am I talking to ah? *roll eyes*)

Anyway, It turned out better than what I expected. We combined the colleagues and friends party because many of our friends were not free to attend. Some had to work outstation, some had other appointments, some just couldn't be bothered to come! hehehe, kidding. I think there were around 30 guests but it seemed like a pretty large crowd in our small living room!

We had different kinds of food, from chinese to italian. We had dessert too! Frozen jellies, ice-cream, and lots more. Alchohol... of course... if you are attending a party that involves Yi-Shen, be rest assured that there'll be alchohol...Red and white wine, beer, liquor... yeah... and he did get drunk. (don't be angry at me for gossiping about you yeah Yi-Shen! =P)

We didn't get to take as many pictures as I normally would, firstly because the camera's battery was flat in the middle of the party, and secondly, I was too busy entertaining! hehe... I did see that some friends did not really enjoyed but I don't blame them, our house has only 6 chairs, there wasn't much for them to see or do...

Well, I'm just greatful that the crowd did not leave too early. The cleaning up wasn't that difficult. We managed to finish cleaning up before going to bed. I would say that I enjoyed the party, and hope to have another one soon!! This time, if you'd like to come, let me know! =* And don't say it's too far to come! (hahaha! Yeah I'm nuts!!)

Housewarming PARTY!!!

2005-10-11T12:36:00.001+08:00

Yay! We're gonna have a housewarming party at our house! And, it's not gonna be one party, but two!~~ One for colleagues and the other for friends! Woohoo~

Parties, I love parties!

My mum said that housewarming parties are for people who has bought a house of their own and has shifted in, then they hold a housewarming party. But I love parties!! I have to have one! My birthday is way over, Yi-Shen's birthday is way way longer ago; Christmas, is still so far away, I've left with no choice! Furthermore, I want the yang energy in the house mah... haiyoh...

Please bare with me for updating so seldomly, and not uploading the pictures that I've promised.

Meanwhile, I have my guest list with me, and some contacts to do!

2005-09-28T16:57:00.001+08:00

hey dear beloved readers of mine, =D i currently do not have internet connection here in my new house. so sadly, i won't be able to blog at the time being. do not forget about me, i'll be back. continue loving me, =D

forgiving

2005-09-23T23:57:00.001+08:00

I always feel like forgiving them (only some of them) who has hurt me in the past. They who passed bad comments on me, they who made me angry, they who quarreled with me, they who were somewhat cruel. Of course, they are the ones who have not really hurt me deep deep down that I won't be able to forget and forgive; or maybe I can and will, after 10 years or more.

Of course, it takes time. After some time, when I've forgotten how angry I felt, I feel like being friends with they who mistreated me. I don't understand why.

Maybe it's simple, need no explainations. Forgive = friends, no?

Somerset Bay Denim Jacket!!!

2005-09-21T19:17:00.001+08:00

Can you feel the excitement by reading the TITLE of this post?

Recently, I saw a cropped denim jacket at Somerset Bay and instantly fell in love with it! It has some brown coloured crouchet on the collar and at the end of the sleeves and it just fitted perfectly on me!

I really wanted it! And now I've got it! =D

However, the process of getting it was a complicated one. I went to every franchise (except the one in Amcorp Mall and other states' ) and failed in getting the oh-so-beautiful jacket. Out of stock la, no sizes la, out of stock la, button got only 4 when there's supposed to be 5 la... Should have bought it the day I spotted it! Irritated!!

I couldn't wait no more!

So, there's still the Amcorp Mall franchise what, says Chung Yi-Shen. If not, Johor's lor, can ask Mrs. Chung to buy mar.

Yeah, Amcorp Mall, like they'll have when they know I so want it. Sure they'll say out of stock la, no sizes la, out of stock la, button got only 4 la... I hate it.

Heheh, actually, the one I'm wearing NOW, was bought from Amcorp Mall la! =D Yi-Shen went to that mall just to buy my this jacket! Woohoo~ Yeah, nice boyfriend you may say, but he has his imperfectness you won't be able to stand too. Whoops.

I'm happy that I have this perfect jacket now. At least, that was what I think when I so wanted to buy it and so couldn't get to. And yeah, of course I've found flaws in it now that I already have it.

*would love to show you the picture of it but do not have a camera now.

Concert!

2005-09-21T18:58:00.001+08:00

Yay! I'm going to a concert!

Fish Leong's concert! I am so excited!

Going to her concert has been what I wanted since long ago. I personally love her songs, that's why besides concerts of Andy Lau, she is the only singer that I'd want to spend money on.

Furthermore, I'm well versed with 90% of her songs. It's only her latest album that I am unfamiliar with. =/

I went to CD RAMA for the tickets, paid RM420 and got the three tickets for us. (Yi-Shen & Ching) Actually, my mum and Chyi wanted to attend the concert as well, but for Cher Chyi, it's because she has not been saving up; my mum, she's in Kelantan, so it's kinds impractical to come all the way for 2 days just for the concert. It's not that my mum is a very great fan of Fish Leong's. =>

So, the big day would be on the 1st of October, will try to smuggle a camera in.

Huh? Do I hear someone asking why would I do something forbidden? Because, to show you the pictures marr!!!

Feng Shui

2005-09-18T20:47:00.001+08:00

Lately, I've been working on a feng shui production. This would be the second season of the show, last year was the first. I started had interest in feng shui then, reading the many books of the famous Lillian Too.

What is my kua number, which is my best directions, the poison arrows everywhere, what amulets bring what kinda benefits to me, etc etc. I was and still am very interested in all these things!

You'll be amazed by what you read in the books saying that how feng shui works wonders! Would you believe that by merely wearing amulets everywhere you go can be a form of protection and that they can actually enhance your life? Do you believe that these symbols do have their strange powers? I do!

Ok, now it seems like I'm helping Lillian Too promote. Anyway...

For example, if what you want is love, the double happiness symbol is one of your options among so many feng shui symbols! For me, it's always money! =D so i have the three coins amulet in my wallet, my mum's, dad's, sis's, yi-shen's... I'm not a selfish person, I want everyone to have what I feel is good!

The symbol that I like most are the Mystic Knots. (below) It is said to symbolize long life unaffected by setback and is for continuous good fortune! How great is that? heheh..

Which do you like?

Now that we're moving, I already have a list of things to buy for feng shui's sake. I'm gonna activate my wealth corner, enhance my career luck and the list goes on! I'm so excited! I've even checked the chinese almanac calender on dates that's good for moving. I will definitely not move on a bad-for-moving-day! I will not take the chance! =D

I know, many people only find feng shui superstitious. But, if you have a chance to read about it, it's actually Chinese metaphysics, A word which I don't understand, and it's also secular* (meaning from dictionary = Not specifically relating to religion or to a religious body).

* : I didn't know which word to use therefore seeked help from Yi-Shen, and as always, he gives me words that I've not heard of. And thus, had to search for meaning from dictionary, but still feel it's too complicated. Hence,

I decide to say, it's not related to religion!!

Anyway, I'm thinking, if feng shui can make Lillian Too that rich, it can for everyone too! The only problem is, we'll need some extra cash first to buy the amulets la, crystals la, whatever la to activate all the corners that we want to benefit from!

Problem...

Oh com'on, being vain is okay...

2005-09-01T13:53:00.001+08:00

This afternoon, I ignored Yi-Shen and was painting my toenails while watching VCD (one after another) when I heard noises coming from the direction of our toilet. Yi-Shen was being busy bathing and all; he went in and out of it after his bath (I could see from the side of my eyes) and continued being busy.

When I decided to turn my head and see what is the hassle all about, I saw a GREEN FACE.

Why? Because, the green thing was my face masque! Yes, he was having a home session facial.

I laughed, "Why are you so aimei?! Even I don't bother to do facials!"

He said nothing, came over, and typed this:

"I am never vain... I am too bored therefore I have to find something to do... can't talk with the mask on you know..."

Hahaha!! Didn't even want to talk fearing that he'll ruin the effect of his mask. Very well then...

I feel like

2005-08-24T14:00:00.001+08:00

I feel like:

buying beautiful bowls and mugs

cooking!!

preparing meals for Yi-Shen and me

being busy in the kitchen

having a party at home and have friends buying me presents!!! ahahaha!!

Finally, someone will have to wash the dishes for me because that is what I would never feel like doing!

hamsap uncles

2005-08-23T15:11:00.001+08:00

phew weet~ lenglui!

hi~

Qu na li ah?

You kong ma?

I tell you! It's normal, understandable and acceptable that young punks go whistling and making fun at us girls, but what about them who are uncles?? Uncles who most probably are people's husbands, someone's father, or grandfathers-to-be? Gosh...

Often, I find males above the age of 40 are the ones that STARES! There he is, holding his daughter's hand, evaluating me from head to toe. There he is, walking with his wife, having his eyes on my boobs. There he is, waiting for the LRT, looking down at me sitting to make sure if my panties can't be seen (if not he will be very sorry for himself if he had missed the chance).

Tolonglah, stop being so horny cannot mer?

There was once where I was walking to the LRT station, an uncle was driving his car towards my direction. For god's sake, he wound down his window while passing and asked me where am I going! I felt so disgusted. They're certainly not young anymore, why do they still want to do these kinda things? Their days of so-called flirting with girls are long gone, don't they realise that? What are they actually thinking when they do all those disgusting and sickening things??

Don't they have something better to do?

Our Bukit Tinggi Trip

2005-08-21T01:16:00.001+08:00

Yesterday (Correction- About a month ago; Reason: I dilly-dallied and therefore this entry is late by so many weeks.) was me and Yi-Shen's first anniversary as couples. He kinda surprised me by taking me to Bukit Tinggi for a night stay. It was certainly an enjoyable trip for us, the room had a big balcony which I kinda liked.

He brought along both his SLR and video camera and I was incharge of the video cam. So, having to remind him again and again not to take candid shots of me...

Alright, very luckily, these 2 turned out good. I like them alot. There are a few that's not nice. but I've decided not to show them here coz it'll be a waste of space. And, no one would be interested anyway.

It was only 2 of us, he had the camera, so obviously I'm in 90% of the pictures. =D Which is what I like! ahah~ This black swan here is a must-take-photo-with when you are at Bukit Tinggi. Whenever someone says they've been to Bukit Tinggi, you'll definitely get to see this picture of theirs!

This is a place called Japanese Tea Garden. It had a very relaxing atmosphere, with a pathway for you to walk on. We enjoyed it very much! But to get there, we had to walk up a very stiff hill. Boy that was tiring! We saw a car pass by us half hill!! We did not know that we could actually drive up. However, it was rather nice walking up, can paktoh mah... hahah!

Look at these fat fishes! It was beautiful! Plus, it was very nice seeing them practically fighting for their food, trying hard to eat more. By the way, in the pond where the well-known black beauties lived, there were delicious looking fat fishes as well. And they were swimming in a big circle, going round and round and round and round. Does anyone here knows why? Is it because it was going to rain? kakaka...

You know 'bout taking photos on your own? With digital cameras that are so small and light nowadays, it's rather easy and common to take a snap shot of your own. BUT, what 'bout taking it with a heavy SLR analogue cam? heheh... I don't think everyone is capable of doing that! But I can!! Haiya, only 2 of us went, so it was troublesome to ask people around to help take a picture of both of us. So, I wanted to try taking it on my own, and succeeded. Although it's a bit blurred la... but still acceptable lah.

To conclude, I enjoyed myself very much.

english-ie

2005-08-19T21:36:00.001+08:00

This is a very nice dress. I really like it alot.

I'm always attracted to blouses and dresses that's very "English-ie". Yesterday, when I went shopping, I saw several blouses that is so English! But all of them were new arrivals. Too bad... They are really nice, but I am sure many out there will not agree with me. Girls nowadays do not have the same good taste as me. =D

Somerset Bay for example, is where I go wah, wah, wah. Beside Ching and my best friend Szee, almost every other girls and guys says yeeyerrhh to what we say wah. Seriously!

Anyway, back to shopping. I certainly had to stop myself from buying any of the blouses I found nice! You wanna know why? Because I can't bare the thought of seeing it on offer the next time I shop. And when I say next time here, I don't mean after 2 months' next time! I mean 2 weeks! 2 miserouble weeks.

This had happened to me quite a few times and I can tell you, the feeling is not nice at all.

Take yesterday, whenI saw the signs SALE SALE SALE in Topshop, I said to myself, " don't let me find that the bag Yi-Shen just bought for is on now on sale! I've not even started using it ok?" And guess what? Yeah, you've certainly guessed right, it is!!!!!!!!! 30% eh!

Sigh... Can you understand my feelings? Why does this has to happen to me all the time la?

Yerh!!

The Convo Journey 3

2005-08-14T17:28:00.002+08:00

In our hotel room, where 3 of us sisters shared, we did all sort of things. We had massage sessions, facial sessions, and other confidential sessions as well. Then, when Ching and Chyi were watching the video we took from the video camera, an idea came to my mind.

Pretend to laugh at something funny.

work on it, Chyi.

Ok, then it got really funny.

--------------------------------------------------

Then, the BIG day. =D

I don't wanna look round-face la...

Okla, wear for you la...

Taken before going into the hall.

This bouquet of flowers was given by Yi-Shen's Mum. How sweet of her! His brother bought me a graduate bear too. Present from Yi-Shen? Don't have.

The bear with a lollipop (Yi-Shen's present from Ching).

This is a picture taken before leaving the hall. Notice that it is elongated. I had to! My face is way too round in it. But after doing so, Chyi and L's faces seems too long. I don't care!!

Maybe you'll notice that I did not take any pictures with my friends at my convocation. So if you did notice, here's the sad part of my story.

Right after the ceremony, when people started taking group shots with friends, my Dad announced that we should leave the place and go get our family photo taken. I was disappointed a lil' then, fearing that my friends would take their pics without me. But, we still had to leave. My family will have to leave Malacca pretty soon because to go back takes another 7-8 hours drive. So I understand.

After taking our family photo, my dad was getting impatient (whole morning haven't had anything to eat, long wait, hot weather, traffic jam, have to drive long hours, have to check out of hotel, etc.) and started being very moody.

He threw his tantrum when fetching me back to the hall. I got very sad and cried terribly after gotten down from the car because my mum said sorry for what've happened.

I couldn't care that people was staring, I was a graduate in her robe crying with non-waterproof mascara, pulling her luggage under the hot sun, walking pass every other happy graduates with their proud parents, trying to call Yi-Shen with a phone that so happened failed on her! Plus, Yi-Shen had just left the hall and was heading to their hotel rooms already! Fuck or not?

I couldn't stop my tears and I had only 1 piece of tissue paper left. Damn I tell you, real damn.

No one would understand my feelings then!

No one!!!

To cut the story short, Yi-Shen turned around and picked me up from that miserable place.

Convocation...... What a disappointing one for me. I couldn't understand why my Dad had to be so angry over things. Did he really have to shout at us that way, especially to my Mum? I'd feel better if he only shouted at us. It was no one's fault, none of us, including him. No one did anything wrong that day, why did it had to end that way?

Well, when friends want to have a look at my convo photos, I have none.

In conclusion, my convocation was not an occasion I have happy memories of.

P/S : My Dad sent me 2 sms saying that he is sorry for what had happened. None of us would have expected that from him! So I have forgiven him, and really hope that our family can be a happy and loving one. But, I still feel a loss in me for not having the chance to take those pictures.

-End of Convo-

The Convo Journey 2

2005-08-14T16:24:00.001+08:00

This is a picture of myself that I find nice. Yes, I do have thick skin.

Wahahah!

Dad fetched us from Kuala Terengganu bus station and from there we headed to Genting. The journey was rather uncomfortable because 4 of us had to "sardin" ourselves in the back seats of a humble WAJA. Furthermore, it took us not less than 5 hours to arrive the Skyway station where Li and I took the cable car up to the top of the hill.

She was very excited about it.

See, so young also wanna put on make-up. Look old la sister... =D

Genting is always fun for me; I like the weather there and, BLUSH! in Genting is always on great sale! I got myself a very very nice black nightgown this trip! Everyone will surely fall in one with it, what's more if I'm the one wearing? Hahah!! Kidding la ok...

Feel like showing the nightgown to you here, but I think I better not. Just in case my mum visits my blog... It's sexy ok? Heheheh...

Instead, I'll show everyone her orchid that she's very proud of! First time flowering mar...

We always have Dim Sum for breakfast at Genting. And after breakfast, dad goes to the Casino and we, continue shopping.

Yoh, her eyes!!!

She insisted that I put her this particular picture here. "It's pretty", she claims.

Victor Yong said I am pretty.

-----------------------------------------------

Time to leave for Malacca! Thus, another 2 hours of "sardining".

-_-"

I got to meet my Uni friends almost anywhere we go. Malacca is a small town, everyone whose graduating was there for the weekend.

For 2 days there, all we did was eat, eat, eat.

This belongs to a shop at Jonker's Street, which so happen shared the same name as my secondary school good friend.

*I can't seem to continue adding images here. So I'll have a Journey 3. Sorry~

The Convo Journey 1

2005-08-13T01:08:00.001+08:00

Oh! Everyone's kinda excited over the fact that we're going for a family vacation! Or sort of la.. So a day before departing, all of us went to the hair and nail salon to pamper ourselves.

Have to look as pretty as possible marr... We're gonna take a family photo erh...

So, while the rest had their nails done, Ching and I went to the hair salon first.

I was steaming my hair when she had hers washed. "Can't wash my hair on my own coz my arm hurts (bitten by Ginger, remember?)", she claims. Okay~~

I had my hair blown straight! I miss straight hair (when I have curls!!!), and vice versa.

Straight or curly lah??

Having to wait for my turn, I left and went to get my other chores done. 4 of us doing lar, long Q~

Chyi's, with a 3d ribbon on each hand.

Mum's.

Ching's. There's actually a 3d football on one of her thumb, but you can't see it in this picture. Or anyone of you out there can't see that her nails are of footballs? Gosh....

Finally, this is mine!! =D

All hands together! You may notice there's one un-manicured hand which belongs to my youngest sis, Cher Li. =D Too young cannot do yet!

-------------------------------

Ma : "Well, who's going to do the housework and packing now??"

Me : "Har? Not me la... Can't zip the bags la, will ruin my nails!"

Sis : "Yeah la, aiyoh how arh?"

Anyway, we managed to have our luggages packed and this picture here was taken on the bus to Kuala terengganu to meet our dad.

-End of Part One-
